So I went to see Godspeed You tonight. They were really good but one thing really bothered me.

It seemed like they just played the drum track through the mixer and the actual drummer just hit the cymbals/floor tom to enhance the noise. He actually just fucked off for like 5 solid minutes during the set.

Have I gone mental or is this what they actually do?

SOFTLY SOFTLY
They had 2 drummers, though. One of them definitely did just leave for a bit but I think they were live drums

I was looking to see if there were two but I could only see one on the left hand side. At one point it looked like there were 2 guys there but at some points there was certainly just a drum track playing

I saw them in Dublin the last night and they have two drummers who alternate between two kits.

Its most definitely live drumming

Assuming this was in Glasgow, there was a drummer in the back the whole way through, the beardy guy on the left did pop off briefly
amazing show too

>> No.55263813

>>55263769
aye, ABC. I play the drums so I usually just watch the drummer at gigs and was just standing like "the fuck is this cunt doing" watching the guy on the left. He also plays the drums standing up like a tit.

I remember him doing this when I saw them a few years ago as well, but I'm fairly sure it was during the long droning part of Behemoth where we wasn't even really needed anyway.

Why do they even have two drummers though? It's completely unnecessary.

Saw them in Manchester, Defo live drumming throughout. The projectionist was crazy though, I spent minutes watching him blurring individual projections and covering them with his hands with the music.

What songs did they play for you? They played Moyà and Mladic in Manchester. Moyà was fucking crazy even if I couldn't remember what it was until about 4 minutes in.

I'm not sure, I've neer really listened to them before tonight but they really impressed me. I'd keep an eye on setlist.fm but its probably the same as the other uk ones

i was there to, fucking great show,. the second song they played which i'm assuming was new had such a tightly grooved section at one point. there was no way it couldn't have been live drumming

>> No.55264724

>>55264648
You should listen to them more.
Other setlists show they finished with The Sad Mafioso but didn't play Moya. Not sure which I'd have preferred as they're both classic.

The song they started playing at Manchester, which is one the setlist as Hope Drone, sounds really familiar like I've heard it multiple times but I don't think I've listened to any bootlegs of it before and the last time I saw them live was nearly 5 years ago. I can't have remembered it from then can I?

>> No.55264790

>>55264704
I got absolutely blown away by the end of Mladic. I never really liked the song on record too much, but the way they built up to the end section of it was just too much for me.

>> No.55265368

Just downloaded a bootleg from Hamburg from about a week ago (week ago).
The new songs from Manchester are there as well and they sound so good! How can they drop an album and then have like half an album ready 2 weeks later??

>> No.55265485

oh yeah, can anyone who was at the show tonight tell me what time they finished at? They were meant to finish at 10:30 but I left at 10:35 to catch the train, did they go on for much longer?

>> No.55265625

>>55265485
a few minutes at most, not sure of the exact time but I'd guess about 10:40ish
