Prince uf Darkness Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 ...just not live keys (btw <3 u OA and Stevo and DA and dio) Yes, some of you probably heard about this, and a few of you were there! At MAGfest 11, housethegrate, Ashane, ktriton and myself played some of our old DoD tunes as well as a couple non-DoD favorites (Walk on Water, anybody?) Since we all live apart we had maybe an hour TOTAL of practice before we played, so it's rough at points, but we had fun, I hope you guys enjoy it. After MAGfest I gathered up all of the video and audio and made a super-ghetto bootleg concert video, and it's finally up now. So if you missed it, or want to see it again, HERE YOU GO! Youtube playlist with all videos - Links to individual songs: Quote
Brandon Strader Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Alex and Dan are two of the most awesome people I've ever had the privilege of talking to and meeting IRL. Kunal is also really awesome and it's cool to see him even though we haven't really talked since MAG9 for some reason (Heroes vs. Villains time). Tony touched my boob. Quote
KyleJCrb Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Aww yeeeeeah. Sadly the livestream was not being very kind at the time DoD Live was on stage, so now I can finally check out the show! Quote
OceansAndrew Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 This was super good live, and Tony is the second hottest bass player I know. Quote
DragonAvenger Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 OA were joking that I should hit you up all MAGFest for some bass tips. We suspected the conversation would have gone something like this (imagine robotic voice). "Hey [Tony, Prince of Darkness], I have heard you are great at playing the [bass]. Please teach me your [hot bass licks]." In other news, the show was awesome, I loved hearing you guys play. Knowing what it's like to not have much rehearsal time together, I can definitely appreciate the performance you put on. Quote

Mirby Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 you know, housethegrate's stuff is a big part of why i fell in love with this community, so hearing all those songs that drew me into this place in the first place was like a super nostalgiagasm for me great show, had so much fun there. :3 Quote
Level 99 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I fear Tony and his cadre of musical warriors because of the sheer fact that his recording setup is an angry robot face. Oh, and your performance was awesome. <3 Were you using an iPod and clicktrack to keep Kunal in sync with the keys so you all played in-time? If so, how well did that work for you? Quote
djpretzel 🎮 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Ah Tony, Tony... you've got live drums... they've got LADIES. They win Sorry I missed this live but the vids are great stuff. Quote
jnWake ⚖️ Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 This sounds great! Wonder why keyboardists are so hard to find Quote
Brandon Strader Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 A keyboardist wouldn't be able to play 7 layers of written key elements live, so having a live keyboardist is kind of redundant unless you just want them up there to play a basic solo wank. That wouldn't replace the backing track, so I don't see the real point to it. And it's not that keyboardists are hard to find, it's pretty much what I said, they can't play ALL of those parts... might be fine for a solo but meh... no real point, IMO. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 this thread is now about licking hot basses. Also hearing Light in the Fortress live was awesome, one of my favorite guitar solos ever. Quote
Mirby Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Yeah, Light in the Fortress was definitely a real treat (especially since Sigma Fortress 2 still needs more love) also, look at it this way. no live keys means you can have phantom Shnabubula at all your shows! XD provided you play Hot Pink of Blues at all your shows, of course Quote
SwordBreaker Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I can't believe that you guys only practiced and hour or two before. Watched Sonic Gargles and Walk on Water, two remixes I'm really fond of, and the performance was top-notch! Keep it up. OCU needs some competition! Quote
Argle Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Was great to see Zealous Entropy live. That was one of the first VG arrangements that blew my mind and got me into the remixing scene. Quote
KyleJCrb Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 this thread is now about licking hot bassists. Fixed that. Quote

Next year at MAGFest: DoD Live has a musical duel with OCU. It shall be GLORIOUS!! Quote
