2:36 Ken is such a sweetheart, helping the young boy drummer with his cymbals, and then giving him a job after The Faceless. He's a real father figure.
This video tells me Michael Keene has definitely still got it. These solos were beautiful. He probably just had some bad nights when he was struggling with his addiction. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to perform extremely technical, difficult music like this while battling drug addiction. I really hope he’s doing better now. He’s such an amazing talent. It’s a shame his addiction has caused problems for him and The Faceless and others involved with the band throughout the years. Keep shredding and stay clean MK ❤️🤘🏻
unfortunately it ain't him playing but factually a backing track. You can really tell tho with the quality of the sound being straight flawless in all regards. Besides that, Justin(the other guitarist) stated this news when they all fought on social media..tho it was more michael fighting cuz his addiction was so bad here.
SbMick I was bummed they started a few mins early to top it all off. So I basically missed half of the Autotheism trilogy. Looking forward to hearing a longer set next time.
Cool song but the band lacks a bit of energy on stage. I guess it's pretty hard to move around or interact with the audience a lot when you're playing such crazy complex stuff.
This is an interesting period for the faceless. Hoping they can keep a consistent lineup going forward. I found their singer quite boring compared to the last two guys they've had...
I wanna make a point (and I’m probably just inserting myself into the void that is arguing about Michael) drugs aren’t the only thing that can make someone lose weight. Depression can cause a fuck ton of health problems and weight loss is one of them. In most of his interviews he says he’s had a hard couple of years and from what I’ve seen and heard, he’s exuding so many traits of someone who’s clinically depressed. A heroin user wouldn’t be so focused. Give the man a breeeakkk
AndyGenselDrums this may be 6 months late but THANK YOU. People still give him so much shit and he might’ve fucked up a lot but he’s trying his absolute best
it's fine that MK because his playing is more than enough, but other guys should be engaging the audience more. You'd might as well just listen to the album if they're not going to put out any emotion and energy in to the live performance.
The tone is totally fine, a specially the guitar tone, but the shouter looks bored as fuck and keen could push his vocals just a touch more. I love them, but their performance is really robotic.
He does it EVERY show...most of the time it's problems with their inner ear monitors, other times it's just plain and simple sloppiness....I adore this band and the new album. I just want the faceless to get their shit together
It's basically an act of asking for forgiveness from the crowd. "Oh what was THAT... OHH WHAAT, what happened there, fuck" It'd be funny and acceptable if it happened once or twice during an entire show. But this is just 100% lack of practice here. He's got some serious guitar skills, which give him the ability to "wing it out" and still keep a reasonably acceptable quality to his playing, but the amount of insecurity in his playing is just way too much here. He looks like how any pro musician would, if they didn't rehearse their set before a show.
funny they had technical difficulties with the new songs at EVERY show including all the rest of the dates in the uk. yet every other track they play also has a backing track that worked fine... ;) work it out
Yeah, it's ridiculous. Also, did you see Justin's reply to Keene on Instagram? He said Keene backing tracked the solo on Spiraling Void =D I think what Keene means is that because this is TECHNICAL death metal, and he can't play it; he has technical difficulties =DD
they could have had a bass player for this tour with no issues, its more to hide the fact that keanes solo for spiralling was on track because he does not know the new songs hence them not playing them.. because he is a heroin addict
This is hard to watch. All of the solos were back-tracked. Michael is struggling horribly with his heroin addiction. He looks so strung out. I really think Sumerian needs to pull the plug on funding The Faceless for awhile until Michael can get his life back on track. No more touring, no more replacing personnel every time Michael and his poor decisions drive his entire band away. If he isn’t asking for it, somebody seriously needs to help him.

@@TheSadistNat1on I don't doubt he had backing tracks on at some level, but you can hear him make a mistake at 3:50 and see his facial reaction to it.
@@TheSadistNat1onImagine you knew what you were talking about 😂
My fav the faceless song
i love this band!!!
Ken just walks on stage like its open mic at TGI Fridays
0:46 ---- the zenith passage shirt. someone knows whats up
Qué joya de pieza.
Thanks for the upload, bummed I missed the show but I hear they only played for half an hour which totally sucks.
Shane Q It was like 40-45 minutes, but yeah, still pretty short. They played 7 songs (3 off Autotheism, 2 new ones, 2 off Planetary Duality)
SbMick I was bummed they started a few mins early to top it all off. So I basically missed half of the Autotheism trilogy. Looking forward to hearing a longer set next time.
Awesome!
Best album I’ve heard in a while
THE BASSLESS

Dustin Ruth he sounds good, but he’s not a frontman
They just lost 3 today.
Lol
OMG YOU GOT TO SEE MORE THAN 5 SECONDS OF THIS SONG
LUCKYYYY
I wanna make a point

He def on heroine. I know it sucks to see one of your favorites being sucked dry from it but its unfortunately true. Hes even worse off now.
Some opiate addicts are actually overweight
it's fine that MK because his playing is more than enough, but other guys should be engaging the audience more. You'd might as well just listen to the album if they're not going to put out any emotion and energy in to the live performance.
Michael's face looks thin
@@rorz999 Vegetarian diet will do that too.....
why is the singer looking like he hates being on stage in every single video??
Jaap Relou they all seem bored and out of place
Skeletal33 true that!
The tone is totally fine, a specially the guitar tone, but the shouter looks bored as fuck and keen could push his vocals just a touch more. I love them, but their performance is really robotic.
HateCreation really robotic... exactly my friend, exactly
I'd imagine its hard to play such intricate music without being robotic
The vocalist however could definitely show more emotion in his performance
Or it's because none of them wanted to be there lmao
"man I hate getting paid to play the music I put so much effort into creating it'd be choice if I could go sit on the couch instead"
None of them wanted to be there except Micheal who mayyyy have been high on something....
Damn, Keene's guitar looks like Wes Hauch's schecter bruh
Don't give a fuck about other opinions but I think Keene is a musical genius
Me encanta esta banda lo malo es q son muy tiesos cuando tocan
Went to school with the drummer.
rorz999 the hell would I do with that? I could give a shit less, I was just stating.
cool man.
Which drummer?
Robert Wadlow James
Who cares if they’re not jumping around like assholes, it’s a badass song . I don’t like tele’s but that Jackson is pretty badass
i hate when keene makes faces at his mistakes.
I rly like it, i have the same thing in my mind when i play guitar.. its about personality we are not the same.
He does it EVERY show...most of the time it's problems with their inner ear monitors, other times it's just plain and simple sloppiness....I adore this band and the new album. I just want the faceless to get their shit together

get a fucking bass player already! LOVE this band though...
Buck Futtler bass backing tracks also works
thats lazy and stupid. if i want an electronic show, ill go to a rave...
Let me know when you find an EDM concert that sounds anything like this, for now I'll enjoy The Bassless :D
they could have had a bass player for this tour with no issues, its more to hide the fact that keanes solo for spiralling was on track because he does not know the new songs hence them not playing them.. because he is a heroin addict
boring show....
I really really really dislike the look of Michaels guitar. That's just my preference though. :/
They still sound and look like a garage band with zero stage presence, that's what you get for skipping so many shows.
Zadrotino skipping shows have absolutely nothing to do with that lmfao
Yep..
I've never described The Faceless as sounding like a garage band
I disagree. The couple of time's I've seen them a few years ago they were perfect. No mistakes whatsoever
Lmao, like you could write anything near this calibre of music you fucking pleb, talking shit on RUclips is your big lifes accomplishment.

Dylan Edwards they didn’t seem backtracked to me, there were slight differences from the recording?
@@TacoCrisma 2 years late, but all Michael leads were backtracked
