ass sweat.

bass brian looked so bored through that aside from the 2 seconds he gave a slight grin.

drum brian is amazing. nuts that he can play like that for so long. arms have to be fucking ripped...

[BitchPudding]

Bass Brian always looks bored. That dude is constantly in the zone. I think he balances out drum Brian's energy.

[ChetMagongalo]

I love how calm Brian G is. it's awesome considering all the ripping he's doing and he's like "whatever"

[BitchPudding]

Yea, I'd like to think hes got this zone he goes into. The Bone Lightning Bolt zone if you will.

[chutneyfarmer]

Yeah I love the dynamic of him being so calm while other Brian goes apeshit. I guess, while playin in crowds like that, if he did start flipping out, someone would get a tuning peg in the eye.

[kbit]

I believe Brian G has said in interviews that he is not a fan of large groups of people or playing on a stage, so.

[BitchPudding]

There ya go then.

I actually was talking to behndy a bit ago about his experience at the LB show he went too. He was talking to drum Brian and asked him if bass Brian was gonna come out and say hey to people since had questions about gear n stuff. Drum Brian said that they tried that once and apparently...it did not go well. So bass Brian disappears once the show is over.

So most likely the last time he was in the presence of Lightning Bolt fans, he feasted on their flesh in a timely, brutal fashion.

He probably started with the younglings, as is tradition.

[prrrfakes]

Talkin' to people ain't for everyone.

here is a screen shot from the vid of Brian's board:

[BitchPudding]

Sweeeeeeeet.

That was the best show I've ever been to, hands down.

Got to be right up at the front of the stage right in front of drum Brian. Caught one of his sticks during the show, thing was broke down the middle so I split it with a fellow first timer. Bass Brian disappeared after the show, but I got to say hi to Drum Brian and receive the SWEATIEST OF MAN HUGS from him as well as autographs and general chilling out. He is for sure cool peeps.

Show itself was pimp as fuck. First band was a local group, guitarist had played with Hella before, so you can imagine how insane that guy was. Sounded like a heavy Jazz Band. Liturgy was after them. Went into their set without listening to any of their material intentionally so I could be surprised. Dug it quite a bit, could see myself chilling out hard to them jams. Then Bolt came out and wrecked the place. That crowd was something else, not so much a mosh as much as a sea of people. I fucking loved it. The band pushed their shit right up to the edge of the stage since they couldn't play on the floor, resulted in me holding on to Drum Brian's kick drum a lot to keep from getting crushed. Set was mostly Fantasy empire, The Metal East, Horsepower, Runaway Train, Colossus, Dead Cowboy, Ended with Snow White (and the seven dwarfs fans). Completely punishing and brutal and amazing all at once.

As for gear, Bass Brian has what looks like a black custom made bass that he uses, modeled after a MusicMan, single Humbucker. His effects set up was: Digitech Bass Whammy > Boss Octaver (It seems like he spams between these two the most) > Boss Bass Overdrive > Boss Super Overdrive > Boss Wah > DL4 > Amps. Drum Brian had a Boss Super Overdrive as well along with two DL4's, one for looping and one for straight delay. These were hooked up to a contact mic sewn into his mask. He was running these into a marshall cab through what looked like an EQ almost.

Gonna remember this one for a long time, gonna have to catch them again once they come back.

Dude, that sounds badass!!! Glad you enjoyed the gig. They really are a force to be reckoned with live!

Really starting to think this new album is their best one yet.
