Demanufacture

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

They were the very first Metal band I got to see live. It was the SFX gig Oct 24, 1999 with Will Haven & Cubanate on the Obsolete Tour

https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/fear-factory/1999/sfx-hall-dublin-ireland-5bd313a8.html

The set list was savage and the encore like!!!

Just to add, cubanate were the worst. Being boo'd off the stage "we will be back dublin.. and you will like us etc"

"FUCK OFF YIS USELESS CUNTS" xD

Burton could never sing live.. it was always the worst part with them outside of Dino taking his top off! 

The dvd they released which shows old footage of them live at the time of SOANM.. I love Scumgrief and his voice cracks so bad on it.. sccUUUmmmM gRRIieeff it's actually hilarious 

Burton's annoying habbit of singing songs  like  something something something.. DES-TIN-NAY.... blah blahblah -AH-TOR-RIT-TAE on what seems like so many songs.

The first 3 albums are fucking great and Archetype tbh. Digimortal.. I think I tried to convince myself I like it at the time but it was so overly produced it had zero soul. I laughed at transgression and just gave up them as it was just the same thing over and over.

Superskin seemed to open for every band that played here for about two years, utterly atrocious

Still give Demanufacture a spin every now and then. The only other Fear Factory I'd really listen to anymore is Archetype which I always thought didn't get the praise it deserved, and has been totally removed from their live sets

I actually ran a mini bus from Cork  to the gig in 95,can remember very little about the gig now.I do remember a guy diving off an amp and landing on a buddie of mine,fuckin serious height he dived from!.
Met the band after and got our tickets signed,fuckin care free times as a teenager! didnt appreciate  it enough!.

The support on the SFX were a band called Pet Hates who were from Celbridge,  or one or two were anyway.  I was so excited to see a band from my town supporting a real band and they were fucking atrocious.  So embarrassing.  FF were deadly though.  I can't remember when I last listened to Demanufacture at this point but it was a big deal at the time.

Adored Demanufacture for years, loved FF in my teens.  Still enjoy some of their stuff but by christ did it go downhill.  Only albums worth a nod at all:
- Soul of a New Machine
- Demanufacture
- Obsolete
- Mechanise
Rest it needless.  Demanufacture top of the pile.  Still gets a spin every now and again, great album.  Love the clinical approach to the drums, which was apparently caused by them losing the tom mic tracks from switching engineers while recording.  Rhys Fulber brought out a solid clinical industrial element in that band, for that album, which they never got quite right ever again.

Seen them on the Mechanise tour in the Commodore, Vancouver.  They were excellent, and having half of SYL for the live band really made it.  Vocals are dodge live alright though.

Great album altogether. Those 2 tracks at the end. Wow! Only saw them at that recent one in Dublin. I thought his vox were pretty good at the start but they did dip in quality. There was defo some magic done tho, whether the synth lines were louder or he had some vox on backing tracks. I thought it covered up his inadequacies a little too well.

[Cryptic Stench]

Haha, Superskin... ffs. They opened Tattoo The Planet too, they were all over the place for a few years. Utterly dreadful band

Seen those pricks more times than I cared to.

Tattoo The Planet
Napalm Death
Ozzfest
Will Haven
Machine Head


Pet Hates, yeah, how the fuck did they get that gig. Knew one of the lads from the band through a friend, complete and utter tosser who started every sentence with "When we were asked to open for Fear Factory".  Much like Wynona Bleach getting the AIC gig. I mean I do love it when a local band deservedly gets a slot and holds their own, can think of countless examples, most glaringly Mass Exctinction completely blowing Nuclear Assault away in the Village, but that's merit versus someone's dad ringing up and getting the kids a gig because they know someone.

Right Pet Hates rings no bell with me at all.Dont know why i thought it was Superskin.

Their shittiness that we were all subjected to at some point in our gig attendance life has been fully ingrained in the back of our minds that when you think of a shitty support band they appear in your brain like a cunt in the fog

[Cryptic Stench]

Superskin did the one in 2001 lads on the Digimortal run, Pet Hates did the one in 1995 I'm pretty sure.
