Erick M.

Wow! hello guys!

Ben Bourrillon

I couldn't make it down today :( Will be tuning in for the live stream.

Stephen Seymour

I believe the band is just sending out a reminder - it's already the 21st in Australia as of 10 pm EST (my time zone) - so if you're in the EST like me, then less than 24 hours to go \m/...........and fast forward to 9:30 am EST Saturday morning, and the realization that my understanding of timezone differentials may be limited :/ .....oh, well. Still going to enjoy the recording of the event, nonetheless :)

Ben

Anyone else have the steam working? Seems like it's just a pre-recording of Forget Not at the moment

Benoit M

Wait... The Facebook flyer says Saturday Jan. 21st, so it should start soon, right ?

LW

Has it started yet? I'm still getting Forget Not.

Jake Heeter

The event page on facebook says this is currently happening.

Erick M.

Yes, the live stream just started!

Da Guru Bro

Watching Tim try and get the gear for the live stream working. We need to setup a gofund me page to get them some better gear.

Dandara Morais

Xen will be there too, right? I'm so excited and curious for this, wish I could be in Australia now

Greg Dineen

Jainash Prakash

Mikell Czermendy

The sound quality is super good though I'm blasting it loud

Crash Morales

Where's Xen? :-| I mean, love this anyway, but... :)

Dandara Morais

I think they said on facebook that he'd be there. But maybe just to see the fans, doesn't look like he'll be helping with the music after all

Gazala Anver

Honestly didn't think they could make Forget Not sound better, but they did :O

Austin Holmes

Fuck people who talk during these, seriously.

Gazala Anver

I miss Xen, but would totes crowdfund an all acoustic album. This is transcendental!

Erick M.

Painters of the Tempest :')

Gazala Anver

Some lucky bastards get to watch this live, and all they do is keep talking throughout. The award for potato head goes to that dude whose voice keeps interrupting this experience.

vaerlux

Aw, give the man some credit. Considering the quality of the stream, it is likely that they needed that potato head of his to power the internet router.

Dominic Barroga

This is awesome but is anyone else seeing this blurry or pixelated?

Gazala Anver

That acoustic album needs to be a thing!

Like

Actually found myself to be so immersed, I was sitting at home smiling and clapping

Jon Whitehead

Great gig guys, looking forward to watching it again later. brilliant interpretations of the songs

Tom Sundgren

Damn wish this was recorded ;( I was here at the right time and it kept on showing the rehearsal. So I left it, came back later and saw them finish the last song of the whole set haha. Fuck!

Val

That was so beautiful... The sound was flawless. Thanks guys ! :D

merrymetal

thank you guys. it was a beautiful awakening. 4:00 a.m. Mery from Italy

Talita Goulart

Oh, no. It is already over :(. When will the recorded version be online?

Joe Farrell

It is recorded! I just started watching it now and it's coming through fine. :)

Joe Farrell

Just click the link for the stream and it will start from the beginning. I'm watching it right now.

Dominic Barroga

An actual acoustic album of these songs would be awesome. It translated well to acoustic. Thanks guys!

hicough

I was lucky to be able to attend this. It was so incredibly beautiful, I could honestly die happily right now. Thanks for putting this on <3 <3 <3

Tina

beautiful music, but NeO without Xen is just not the same. :(

Ne Obliviscaris

It's not the same for sure, but including an extreme vocalist in an acoustic show on limited rehearsal time is not that straight forward. Next time we might try and get him on some percussion though :-)

Ne Obliviscaris

Yeah we had that mentioned to us several times post show- maybe something we will look at in the future once the new is all done and dusted

Ne Obliviscaris

It is back online now! It was only down temporarily which Ustream processed the saved video ;)

Andrew Williams

So much better than I thought it would be - I took my first Saturday off in years to watch it - well worth :) Thanks guys!

Dominika

Amazing! I also missed Xen, but I enjoyed it anyway. Thank you for posting it online! :)

Mohand Kabeche

Nothing better than watching this show in the morning, and discovering Forget not live ! :) Hope to hear and/or see your accoustic versons in an album or maybe once live. Cheers from France.

Mark Hoffmann

I know (apparently) Xen doesn't like the doomy spoken style, but in this case...?

Rod

Awesome! ???

Chris

Hi NeO! I just want to say that I truly love your music, I've been listening to it for about a month straight, every day. I'm truly blown away by the musicality and complexity of your music and I keep falling in love with one song after another.. I've also been inspired to pick up the violin and I'm going to start taking lessons soon. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing, I love you!

nadkm

edit. Fixed the problem

Stephen Seymour

I was off by 24 hours because of my limited understanding of timezones, and I do not mind - still getting to enjoy this, live or otherwise :)

Tina

Well. Now that I have watched the accoustic show (the recording, that is) I have to admit this is not for me. It was very beautiful and you displayed great musical talent, but that's just not NeO for me. I fell in love with Ne Obliviscaris because your music combines these very different elements in such an incredibly harmonious way like no other band does. It's Yin and Yang, heaven and hell, brutal and gentle, hard and soft, extreme metal and classical acoustic music. This acoustic set included only one side and although I wouldn't mind to have some acoustic bonus tracks on a album, I would NOT go to an acoustic only show. This was lacking important parts that make your music so wonderful and extraordinary to me. This is probably an unpopular opinion and I guess I'm the only Ne Obluminati who feels this way, but I had to say it.

Tina

guess the blame is on me, because my expectations were just unrealistically high. :/

Erick M.

Well, this was a one-time thing. I loved the show and appreciate its ephemerality , but no one is expecting NeO to become an acoustic band and host BBQs from now on ;)

Anonymous

just watched the recording. Thank you so much, this is just wonderful! Hope to see you soon on tour! :-) Austria is waiting for you!

Jonathon Clinkaberry

Great show guys, I had chills a lot of the time. Just as good listening to the stream for the 2nd time this morning. I notice you had a few cameras on stage, were you planning on uploading a video from that footage?

Ne Obliviscaris

Yes we are! Will be up asap with multi cameras and better audio provided it all worked according to plan!

Tina

things like these are how bands fall apart. Exclude one member form something or majority decide something and soon after person ABC leaves the band due to "artistical differences". hopefully I'm unnecessarily pessimistic here. :(

Bill

I fucking loved this! Any chance there could be a Patreon digital album of this?

Mat

Any chance to have it in good quality as a Patreon member's gift ? or a free copy for the fans worldwide ?

John Gliss

You are unnecessarily pessimistic :) Don't worry,the band won't fall apart.This was just a thank you show for all the people that supported the band and i'm sure that if the guys had more time on their hands they would've introduced Xen's vocals as well (you know it's what i was looking for the most). I'm fairly sure he didn't mind the fact that he didn't participate in this as much as you think he did.In fact i'd argue it would be quite the contrary,if you ask me :). Bottom line,don't worry without a reason to worry.

Ne Obliviscaris

Tina, tina, tina...have no fear! The thing I love most about NeO is the contrast between extreme intensity and melodic beauty. I love intense music and I love melody and being able to do both of those in NeO is what makes it my dream band to be part of. There was no exclusion of Xen in doing this acoustic show. We decided to do something extra as a bonus, as a THANK YOU to fans, and something we had never tried before and honestly had no idea how it would come out. We spoke to Xen about how to involve him, but he was not that interested this time around because he is not a clean vocalist or a percussionist and it obviously doesn't work whatsover to have extreme vocals over acoustic tracks. It was actually his decision to not be on stage for this performance seeing there was limited time to allow him to work on something to involve him and though it was our preference to have all members involved, we were happy with how things went and excited by the reaction from fans there in person and online. Regardless of whatever we do in the future, however we expand or experiment with our sound in new directions over time one thing you can always count on is that our primary sound and that combination of extreme and melodic elements will always be there. :-)

Ne Obliviscaris

Honestly never heard this term until a few days ago... - Tim

Ne Obliviscaris

We did record it with better film/audio but haven't seen how it came out yet so I would say...maybe, but definitely aiming to have something better online regardless. And due to how popular it's been we may look at doing a proper recorded version or DVD or something if there is enough interest from fans. :-)

Ne Obliviscaris

Not quite sure what you expected Tina? An acoustic show is a stripped back version of the music that takes away the intense/extreme elements to focus on the quieter side and it's not that easy to include an extreme metal vocalist in that as it simply wouldn't work at all. This is in no way replacing our normal sound, just a fun thing off to the side, so hopefully you can in time appreciate it for what it is without needing to compare it to normal NeO stuff at all, as there is no need to compare really. - Tim

Ne Obliviscaris

Great to hear that you enjoyed it so much Andy! Honestly, it turned out much better than we thought it would as well. - Tim

Sternenstaub

what an amazing saturday morning. coffee, thc, and a great show thanks neo.

Peter Matthews

Oh, so you haven't seen Metalocalypse? It's a great show. The band in it is basically NeO - redhead drummer, tall singer with really dark hair, the bassist and guitarist get into adventures together ...

Glenn Morris

That was amazing. Great stuff.

Aaron Oosterhoff

Was Dan just totally free styling on the bongos for the whole show? lol Thats awesome, you guys are awesome

Elliot Cole

i really missed xen. Lol, I loved what Tim did with the last couple verses of devour me colossus though. That melody was so perfect. I would have liked to see xen just talking his parts into a mic though. Haha, that's what I do when I have a metal song in my head while in an environment that wouldn't enjoy harsh singing. I usually just speak the lyrics with the correct rhythm and use a fun accent like old school British or something. Regardless..... You guys did amazingly. I loved every bit of this. Including the breakdown where the audience all nodded instead of headbanging. XD you guys rock!!!

Thank you ! I hope to see this show in good quality sound and visual, if you make a DVD, I buy it. Maybe soon in France in headlining, it was really too short in Rennes (France 2016.11.03).
