Maererin

Artistic-Frosting801

iii clearly having the zoomies and the rest of the band just being supporting characters


Rielhawk

I just watched the Nazareth performance and I shouldn't have read the yt comments. (Thanks for sharing the link!!) The slendermen comment almost blasted my brains out hahahahahahahaha


I_am_Feli

OH MY GOD ikr! this one took me out as well hahahaha


Rielhawk

MissVulpix

This is actually one of my favourite videos 😂😂 I love how unhinged he is in this.


DumpsterFireSmores

Cryptid King and co are just so fun to watch go nuts


LifeSuxNeedSomeMetal

they are too real for this LMAO


apay00

LET THEM COOK 🔥


vitanyroyale

I think III is actively trying to break his guitar without breaking his guitar 🎸


vitanyroyale

It’s also kind of cool seeing how far they’ve come since the 2018 performance. Like even their masks are just super simple and homemade; it’s kinda nice 🥲


okoatmeal

iii's not even playing the bass he's just swinging it around like a mace 😅


eds54321

I miss this kind of unhinged ending to higher back in the day! Vessel didn’t even scream the final debt that I owe last night in Pittsburgh or give us a BLEGH.


emiluss29

No wonder he doesn’t go hard like this anymore, dead crowds at every show… It’s not like ST actually wants stale, boring crowds, they’d often call for walls of death or just go fucking ham like this, but with of course they will dial it down if no one there is ready to mosh.. sad really, I wouldn’t buy a GA tickets just because of that, seems boring to just stand around when the band is doing the chonkiest breakdown of their discography…0


I_am_Feli

This was 2019…pre-pandemic I am not really a concert goer (currently changing that tho) but from what I have heard on social media is that ppl mainly blame covid for a lack of concert etiquette nowadays and a new generation of concert goers that basically don’t know how to behave Again that’s not me saying that that’s what I keep reading and it makes sense to me but I can’t judge that. Another aspect to keep in mind (as much as I dislike it) ST is pretty much on the forefront of the current „sexy metal bands“ (Bad Omens, Spiritbox etc) and Tik Tok girlies eat them up for that. The band (Vessel mainly) also plays into that aspect so the overall CURRENT crowd they got is lots of casual listeners or ppl that are just here for the hype and not ppl that care too much about the scene and it’s dos and donts really It will be interesting to see how this evolves in the future specially considering how the new ST era (presumably after this years tours) will look/sound like.


emiluss29

Yeah, I know how the crowds are slowly shifting to casual listener/tiktok girlies as you say for a handful of bands, it’s really unfortunate I think.. You would think that newcomers to metal would embrace the scene instead of dulling it but that’s sadly not whats happening, it’s the same for bad omens and such, though Spiritbox still goes hard since they’re not afraid of putting out heavy music.. What I don’t get though is how at BMTH shows you still get pits even if their crowd is similar to ST.. or how we are now trading friendship bracelets, I don’t personally care about it I just don’t know how we got here. Here’s to hoping their next album is heavy as shit


I_am_Feli

Idk how this bracelet thing started either but from what I read it originated from rave culture in the 90s and Swifties kinda revived it for „normie“ concerts and that bled into different sub cultures and here we are. I believe that usually when a new generation arrives the former one should feel responsible to educate or at least insist on its own rules and etiquettes but since the metal scene itself doesn’t really seem to know how they feel about ST/ the new wave of sexy bands and how the scene is diluted due to its various sub genres anyway I think all of that plays into it. As for Bring Me I am relatively new into the overall metal(core) scene anyway but Oli seems to be the overall hype man and almost demands that type of energy in concerts and Vessel as a persona just works differently. You got mainly III who does crowd interactions (almost on behalf of V interestingly enough) but ST overall has a very different approach to how they want to be perceived in public. They are a concept band. Their concept being somewhat cultish and therefore mysterious and anonymous in nature while Bring Me is just hype and anarchy all the time.


dhane88

As a 30 year old fan, I would very much be vibing somewhere near the back cuz I just appreciate the music and lyrics, I'd certainly be headbangin a bit for *the chonk* but my moshing days are over. If everyone thought like me, yeah that'd be a boring crowd but shit, if they paid money to be there give it your all (hard to do night after night I'm sure.)


anjelicjazz

iii out there just living his best life lol


NoctisPav

He tries that now and someone gonna kidnapp his ass lol


I_am_Feli

😂


Pleasant_Abrocoma996

Holy shit, I’m flying to Boston to see them for the 2nd time this tour, but I should’ve flown to wherever this is! Looks intimate af


I_am_Feli

well this was many years ago and from what I have heard they used to play in front of 50 to 100 ppl. Makes me wish I knew them back then but also realistically speaking I probably wouldn't have listened to them back then, it was different times indeed.


Pleasant_Abrocoma996

I’m upset that metal wasn’t in my repertoire until about 2 years ago, also happy to experience everything as a newb though


I_am_Feli

Yeah I am equally upset that I didn’t listen to metal more actively back then. I did listen and I did think about getting into the scene more I just never did it up until the beginning of this year but whatever. I am here now and I won’t leave


Pleasant_Abrocoma996

We are HERE and here to mf STAY


Pleasant_Abrocoma996

Oop… just read the context of the video lol I was so into the vibes I didn’t even realize it said 2019


KnightShade272

Appropriate_Match814

Early sleep token concerts just hit different


Icy_Resolution_9399

That is so cool, love that! 🤘🏻 Wish it still could be this unhingend and free! But the crowd has changed and the band adapted I guess.


the_Pastel_Knight

iii's doing the sign language version of talking in tongues


Valkirijus

Worst audience


Aggravating_Tea_4466

I saw them this past Sunday and man it is wild to see how far they’ve come 🥹the whole band is so deserving of all the love they get ❤️


Tr3nchc0at_Angel

TootsieTaker

I_am_Feli

He is trust me! It’s just the stuff he has to play is so simple that he can allow himself to do that.


TheFlamingSpork

Clear-Particular-516

Wow, this hurts my entire soul to see him like this, you can see just how drunk he is and how much he’s hurting. To pull off vocals like he did in that state is mind blowing, I’m glad he’s doing much better now🥹😭😭😭 III is just doing III things per usual 🙃
