I’ve always felt that the guitar tone and the name of the song fit perfectly together. The tone (especially in that intro riff) just sounds so slimy, putrescent and rotten.
I was there, front row, somewhere in the pit. I was working as a stage hand at the tent stage, and I operated the changing banners for some awful power metal band. When Obituary started to play, I just said "see ya" and left them standing to see Obituary. They were pissed and I did not get paid, but I didn't care. I had a blast! Death Metal Victory.
@XingFisher666 Just listened back to it, pretty sure that's Trevor in the left channel and you're right he's sharp. If my ears don't deceive me, Allen and Frank are playing in same key, but Frank looking at him like he's wrong suggests that it's something that's happened before. It's happened to me in bands. Although once a bee landed on my bass while on tour in Italy and I couldn't play. I kept shouting "BEE!" at other guitarist. He kept shouting "CEE!!" back at me.
The part at 0:40 looks funny as hell, Frank Watkins trying to show that Allen has to shift up 2 semitones. Allen looks like 'huh, I've always played this song like this'. And he's right too, because he's the one playing in key (like on the album).
@MarkPJordan Haha hilarous story with the bee. :-) Still it's a pity about Allen, especially since he was really one of my favourite guitar players when I was a kid. Actually he got me into playing leads, the way he played was different than most did. He played more lightning fast blues scales and they always were really recognizable to me and not pointless shred. Drugs are bad.
I have seen them on Fuck The Commerce Festival in 2005. They were so bad I left before they played "Slowly we Rot" 😅 But I have to admit that with more live practice the become were good since those times. But come on, if you think this is good... don't be silly and don't call yourself music fan.
Obituary are one of Death metals best, giants amongst the insects of the genre, the sound on this isn't the best, West seems out of it but Donald is a fucking brute always, the unsung hero of the band but the guitar tone is one of if not the best thing about the band for me, Trevor is a hero of mine, no frills sludge laden riffs. When I seen them live I just stood infront of him with my mouth open, pure magic lol
ALL time classic by the legendary OBITUARY. ....YES YES YES......HEAVY AS FUCKING HELL.....JUST MAKES YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR HORNS IN THE AIR AND BANG THAT HEAD!!!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘....CROWEMAN IN THE UK EX G.D
I've watched all of the available content from this live. What is really you cool is you can see Frank constantly checking on Alan every now and then if he is going to go through the gig. Apart from that this is my favorite Slowly we rot live performance. Guitars in different keys, slow tempo, everything makes is really bad*ss.
@MarkPJordan I just saw your reaction after I posted about the same part. But unless they together decided to play the beginning part 2 semitones higher for Wacken, Allen is the one playing right. Compare to the original version and all other versions on RUclips, Allen is the one playing in key, although it doesn't look like it. :-) For the rest I agree it's a pity, I hope Allen can ditch the drugs.
Yeah, but you've got two guys playing in two different keys while in two different time signatures while not being in tune or on a consistent tempo. That makes up.for it.
Definitely the soloist is playing sharp, Trevor is playing in D. Frank the bass player even stands looking at him at 0:40 to see if he knows he's playing in the wrong key and Allen just kind of looks back at him plaintively. His timing's also all over the place throughout the song. Pity.
OMFG the bass or second guitar is totally out of tune !!! total loss of respect for Obituary , Watkins starts the bassline in the wrong key or is way out of tune or is it Allen West ? Hard to tell , what a tragedy for such a well known band ... Donald Tardy is the only real musician in this mess...

I wanna marry this guitar tone
It sounds like a fever
Fuck yeah !

Once upon time Vladimir Putin was on lead guitar.
lol he wish
Man is Master.
Hahahhahaha hahahahahhaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahhhahaha
Before he was busted running a meth lab in his house.
LMMAO!
I love how they slowed shit down to a classic heavy metal groove..
One of the best death metal band performans-wise. RIP Frank btw :(

You definitely made the right choice brother … salute . ;)
R.I.P. friend Franck death metal forever!!!!!
Alan is off his face and fucks the riff up, but still nails the lead perfectly ...
best part of the vid
I'm not sure *anyone's* playing in the same key until 1:10... They're on fire from there on out, though.
I listened the same.
@@lucasvinicius5157 th-Grove
The video quality of Wacken 2005 is fucking awesome.
I love this live video because you can hear the rhythm guitar and the drums more which is pure badass

Still love Allen West style
What a classic album still sounds amazing.
The greatest feath metal band in the world
Allen West looks like he is in other (drug) universe
Allen West looked like a fucking zombie here. Wow.

I always catch myself coming back to this live version

+wiltzer1 sadly drugs and mostly alcohol fucked him up..
Alem west el mejor guitarra death lastima los vicios lo sacaron del trono
Try this at 0,75 speed for more doom style.
I love this song... 9july2020
That snare sound is awesome.

0:38 Fucken wasted.. You can hear it in the guitar. Say no to heroin, kids
Greatzzz
Obituary, band of cult \,,/
Holy shit they really messed up a lot.
The ultra slow music pieces makes me listen to Obituary
Excellent snare sound!
rip frank Watkins

ALLEN WEST... VOCÊ FAZ FALTA, CARA. FORÇA!!! ⚰☠🤘🇧🇷
The lead guitar is so poker-faced...

Putin says "death metal, symbol of free west" da?
back from the dead, the end of complete, world demise and slowly we rot!!!

Obituary live sound better than on their album's imo.
Slowly we rot is a standard E guitar tune, i think Allen was playing in drop D if i'm not wrong.
The band has played in D standard in studio and live (songs from Slowly We Rot were played D standard for live shows) since the second record.
Allen west kicks ass 🤜👊🤛...to bad drugs did him in...👎😒
🤘🤘
Allen looks wasted as usual…surprised he pulled off the lead…
00:40..nem tava chapado..😂
Se siente mucho el D-Beat
R.I.P Frank
Nice
Udaj se za mene, želim svoju tabakeru ostaviti najdražem biće
Arnold Schoenberg on lead guitar
simple they're perfect.
Im not much of an obituary fan, but this song is awesome. Never really listened to them. What are some songs/albums you recomend?
dongmaster9001 cause of death! end complete!
All of em. But particularly the first four.
briliant (after so many years)
I read somewhere that Allen got fired after this...but dunno.
BenEnyuh No dude get your facts right. He went to jail because of drugs.
Yes oke
My bucket list wacken and rock am ring
1:22 Mark Dice? MAGA BABY JEFE TRUMP 2020

AMAZING MIRACLE
This Thumb from 2005 doesnt lie...even The WWE's Undertaker was There...
Lagano u nista
1:42 let the slaughter start
Se le veía sonreír a Trevor Peres.

τελειοι deathαδες.
Vladimir Vladimirovici ......
hmm they have a few problems with the guitar tone at the beginning he?
Está triste Bladimir Putin xd
Xd
Ne podcjenjuj sebe, ono što sam vidio u tvojim očima to ne zaslužuje
The original lineup. 🤘
@ 0:50 it looked like the cymbol was almost invisible
Super death metal❤
wonder if sam dunn was there at this time. XDDD =o
sjecas li bebo da sam ti sugerisap sta ce se dogoditi sa nama
2023..
う
No bell @ 0:29 😟 so not classic
Yeah, but you've got two guys playing in two different keys while in two different time signatures while not being in tune or on a consistent tempo. That makes up.for it.
what the obituary's line up here ?
Classic
jesam li bio u pravu zar mi jos ne vjerujes
Ni sada te ne doživljavam kao objekat, razmisli malo, šta te asocira na proljeće...
Silvio Rodriguez is sad here because he needs to play la era està pariendo un corazòn :(
jaja te pasastes

You can clearly see that Trevor is playing the riff two frets too high, Allen has it correct
Alan West is hopeless lol , easiest riff & gets it wrong for a full 8 bars
Tommy Flann lol that's no stupid excuse to embarrass yourself
CrushingGroovesByAlexFromSuffer dude he looks like he is dope sick or something
@@ragonel He is dopesick. If you watch the video carefully you can see the purple hospital bracelet still on his wrist.
@@mechanoid2k maybe dopesick or drunk off his ass, but that purple bracelet is a festival band(signifies you're an artist or crew)
How can a pro guitar player fuck up such an easy riff? 😓
Alguém esqueceu de tocar o solo.
OMFG the bass or second guitar is totally out of tune !!! total loss of respect for Obituary , Watkins starts the bassline in the wrong key or is way out of tune or is it Allen West ? Hard to tell , what a tragedy for such a well known band ... Donald Tardy is the only real musician in this mess...
Allen was playing the intro in G when it should be in A. You can tell since Trevor played the intro in A.
Valerio Nascimben Well spotted dude , I agree
unenjoyable.
It was allen
@@valerionascimben7565 If they're in D tuning then the opening riff should be in G, not in A. So it was Trevor who messed it up.
