Couldn't agree more!! They sound as good now as they ever did. Without Piggy this wouldn't exist.. Without Chewy it would have gone extinct. I hope they on continue forever
his style is based on jazz drumming. in jazz all instruments play both roles: rhytmic and melodic. that way of playing gives lots of reedom to musicians but also demands listening (as "being aware of the wole situation") to each other while playing. rock and metal musicians as well as classically trained ones not often get what jazz style of playing is really about: in classical and rock and metal bands there's a leader/composer and others are just there to play what was written without any input (even though they think they "contribute" something to the composition), in jazz band there's a leader/composer and others are contributing by arranging and twisting their parts to the point that what was brought in turns only into general idea what the music might have been. as piggy was deeply into jazz and avantgarde music these influences were brought into voivod music, that's why there's never been "music by piggy" but "music by voivod" - musically he managed his band and not ran it like a dictator. and that's what makes this band unique. chewy also adopted that kind of approach.
Dude I was pumped last night they are playing at one our local bars. It will probably sound like shit because that's Pierre's but it's gonna be a fun time
It amazes me how good they still sound. Chewy's playing sound and feel is amazing. I can't imagine someone doing Piggy more justice in honoring his legacy. Same for Rocky. You are absolutely killing the bass tracks on these songs. As for Snake and Away.... I was a budding guitarist/vocalist back around 87 and I have no idea how you guys are still going. Hearing and seeing this video really made me happy. Keep it up guys!!! Korgüll demands it!!
There's something very no-bullshit about these guys. No gimmicks. No bowing to trends. No overkill on anything. They're old, they're ugly, and they don't care. Just their own brand of hard-rock/metal - which sounds close enough to other music of its type to be accepted as such, but has a refreshing individuality to it. Perhaps you could call it prog-metal - but a lot of that sounds forced and intentional, and these guys don't. They just want to sound ferocious, and realize that having their music not do quite what you expect accomplishes that very well.
@@marpsr Yes way back on Killing Technology it was a perfect amalgamation of King Crimson and Discharge, Away has always been into anarcho/hardcore punk.
@@gavinbuck8130 One of the guys here made a reference to their punk influences, and I can hear that. Even with their ferocity, there's a clarity to the sound. So much current metal sounds like stomach rumbles - croaking vocals, guitars tuned down to C or B or even A till the strings flap, double kick going Thudda-Thudda-Thudda-Thudda..... It's as if those bands are competing to see who can clutter up the bottom the most. Voivod sound like a rock band with actual SONGS, not a bad case of Montezuma's Revenge. And, they look like they're happy to be there.
@@Baribrotzer Yeah unless you swap out for a 7 or 8 string there's only so far you can take it before it becomes indefinable sludge, Piggy always used standard tuning and around the Dimension Hatross era would often play high up on the neck, it certainly created a very unique sound, but then Hatross and Nothingface were just that, incredibly unique, there was nothing else like them.
Absolutely more creatively refreshing than anything the Big 4 or 5 or 100 could ever fathom or attempt to write... Keep distorting the universe and all other dimensions for us with your music... !!!!!Voivod!!!!!
I'm inclined to agree. Voivod still sounds like Voivod over the years. The others? I continue to be a fan of pre-mid-'90s Slayer and Metallica. They both lost something IMO.
VOIVOD has been one of my favorite bands since I was 11. That was the year Nothingface came out. I'm now 45 and I say " TO THE DEATH !" Cheers from Montréal 🤘🍺
Nothing face hadn't been out long when I started listening to them, I was 15 or 16. My parents were sure this heavy metal thing was just a phase. How blessed are we these guys are still putting out original music
@@milesgemini4029 Right on... long time fans spreading the good word lol. "Pardon me, but would you have a moment to spare to talk about our lord and savior, Morgoth ?" 🤘🤣
Holy.. absolutely badass, forty years a fan and they still kick my ass. I love this version of Rise off of Phobos, those E-force records are underrated.
The first time I saw Voivod live was in Montreal opening for Rush in 1989 or 90 on the Presto tour. I was a young teenager, and I'm still remembering how the crowd was insane and LOUD when Voivod played this amazing, well-done cover from P.F Astronomy Domine!! 🤘✌🤟
I could never forget after hearing Killing Technology in high school. It blew my mind,the guitar tone alone was enough to blow most bands completely out of the water
I met Voivod in 80 s with Dimension Hatross ı cant remember the song properly but Experimental Errors still listening Voivod Voivod unbelievable beautiful band Technical Melodic Thrash Metal
I've listened to these guys since the late 1980's. When I watched the video, I figured that there'd be one or two guys pulling hard to make the show come together right... All of these guys pulled. They all put out and did a great show. My hat is forever off to the guys I tuned out with way back then and to this day. Bravo brothers. You've done good.
The first time I heard them was on Headbanger's Ball in the late 1980's when they covered Pink Floyd's 'Astronomy Domine'. I was like... "Damn, who IS this?" 'Don't remember how I acquired their 'Nothingface' album (cassette), but that settled it. I was a fan.
I became a fan during the Killing Technology release! I bought the CD that was when CDs were sold in the giant boxes! they have always been on of my favorite bands!!!
Banda aparte de todos los metaleros....algo raro hoy en dia y que un sonido suene tan diferente desde hace mas de 40 años es una rareza...grande canada uno mas de sus aportes al metal...
There's so few bands that have been active 39-40 years with this intensity and energy, maybe Conflict (UK) or Subhumans (UK), but none have been so innovative as Voivod.
Legends that the world was and is not ready for. Fortunate to have seen them live a year or so ago, and briefly spoke with Chewy. Truly beyond their time.
Been a fan for more than 25 years ot something its been 40+ years for voivod and they still shredding, still thrashing- cannot believe this! Playin tracks from killing tech & dimension hatross! Back in the early nineties i was like the keewl kid in skeewl, listening to voivod & coroner when all the rest would listen to metallica, or listen to saint vitus & cathedral when the rest were listening to guns n roses and iron maiden..i was a rather picky kid when it came to my metl!
I first discovered Voivod on Headbangers Ball back in 1990 with their cover of Astronomy Domine. I've been a fan ever since. Such a breath of fresh air in a world of bands following the same ol formula.

Snake is such an underrated frontman
He's great here! And they've added some vocal harmonies as well!
Dimension Hatross was highly reminiscent of classic Iggy
I could do without the fake delay though lol
Word! And he's one of the coolest people in person. Humble and appreciative of his fans.
Im so glad Chewy joined and VOIVOD is still vital and loud 🔊. Love these crazy Canadians!!
Couldn't agree more!! They sound as good now as they ever did. Without Piggy this wouldn't exist.. Without Chewy it would have gone extinct. I hope they on continue forever
Yeah, totally! And Rocky too, he's awesome.
That crazy drumstyle from away is so damn powerful

And at his age! He has the energy of a 20 year old. Incredible.
Best band in the world. So happy they announced a US tour.
Dude I was pumped last night they are playing at one our local bars. It will probably sound like shit because that's Pierre's but it's gonna be a fun time
Saw them last week at the opening show for the tour in Columbus. Did not disappoint.
It's hard to describe how incredibly good this band is ! With their innovation they could circle the earth 5 times. Chewy is extraterrestrially good !
great band, great sound, great tone, great performance. Inicredible how good is this band.
VOIVOD is out of time band, always fresh and crazy !!! 🤘🤘🤘
"Out of time"...??? WTF are you talking about?
@@Kowinaida I think he means timeless.
@@craigroaring LOL!

Keep it up guys!!! Korgüll demands it!!
I grew up with them, they come from Jonquiere (Lac St-Jean) 200 km from us, Quebec City the old capital and very proud of what they have accomplished.
Nice one. :)
Impressive! These guys are rocking it out better than most they're age! And that drummer! Such bad ass playing in a small space!
They are a machine
Still energetic, timeless and visionary. Genius musicianship. And the new guitarist's jazz style opens another fractal dimension ..... I bow.
I just started listening to the “Outer Limits” album again after many years. I had forgotten how great it is.
Definitely. My favorite track from that albums is Lost Machine. So good...
last week I bought it

They just want to sound ferocious, and realize that having their music not do quite what you expect accomplishes that very well.
I’d say they’re prog metal filtered through a punk aesthetic. With a heavy dose of thrash.
Well said, that come across in their interviews too.

f'king hell. Snakes' is still there. One the most underrated bands of all time. 40 Years and Counting!
Voivod is better than ever what a line up sounds great.
Voivod,slayer,kreator,testament,sodom,exodus,motorhead and old sepultura is real legend thrash metal for me🔥🔥
Listening thru a 1982 Yamaha R-50 Stereo Receiver and a 1988 Pioneer GR-555 Graphic EQ. Man Oh! Man... The sound! Headset SHURE SRH440A. Peace Out!!!!
Using HD650s through an Atom Pro headphone amp, does sound incredible. :)
Absolutely more creatively refreshing than anything the Big 4 or 5 or 100 could ever fathom or attempt to write...

they killing it up there.. i remember buying Dimension Hatross and being blown away by it.

@@user-bdrp❤💯💎🎁👍
I still listen to Nothingface pretty often. There simply are no albums like it in Earth's history.
Classic Canadian Metal....VOIVOD RULES..... Always did !!!!!!!
Love this band a lot, great sound and performance, pure skill!!
...I need some kluskap o'kom and We carry on!!
Holy.. absolutely badass, forty years a fan and they still kick my ass. I love this version of Rise off of Phobos, those E-force records are underrated.
E-Force albums are their heaviest ones. Snake does an awesome job on Rise here.
Especially Phobos
So good! Thank you, Chewy!
Group number one of my life!
My 80s heros! Always good as hell.

Outstanding musicians and perfect performance! Bravo!
Binging on Voivod now...thanks for this. I had kind of forgotten just how good they've always been...
I could never forget after hearing Killing Technology in high school. It blew my mind,the guitar tone alone was enough to blow most bands completely out of the water
no compromise...best of best band over years..Piggy top

Love the smiles on their faces. Voivod continues to do Voivod!
a very original sound. smart lyrics that we can all now relate to. heard them on the metal massacre compilation album.
Nagyon egyéni stílust művelő band. Szuper.
Voivoooood !!!!!!!
Amazing performance, but only 50 minutes? I could watch them play 6 hours straight, they have so many iconic songs on every album

Uriah Heep is another that is still kicking ass! Their performance at wacken 2019 blew me away.
This is bad ass.
What a kick ass band!! Amazing. Very cool Snake mentioned Piggy and Jason
Legends that the world was and is not ready for. Fortunate to have seen them live a year or so ago, and briefly spoke with Chewy. Truly beyond their time.
Офигенный концерт!

Espero velos novamente

I have a vest just like Snake's. No flares or anything on it, just leather, and it looks like the same style.
Guess I should start wearing it again lol
