Anybody ever see them live? I'd be curious to see how they would come off in a club setting.

seen them once or twice. as you might imagine it's not the most exciting show to watch. but let's face it, hearing 'like rats' live is worth it.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I will be at the NYC show for sure!
I was at Godflesh's first US show ever.
March 1991 @ L'amour in Brooklyn with Napalm Death and Nocturnus.
They did a few songs, had major tech issues and that was that!
They were a 2 piece then.
The other 2 times I saw them they had a live drummer....Ted Parsons from PRONG!

If one looks at it from a purely sonic view, nothing tops Neurosis. I was actually physically pushed backwards from the sheer wall of sound they
unleashed. I've never seen/felt anything like it since.

IN 1992 or so. Small club. Sounded shitty. Them and 2 other bands just like them.

yeah I get that.
I met Justin backstage in Philly years ago.
He was a weird dude.
at the time a friend of mine and I were playing music in my parents basement and recording it on a Tascam Porta-2.
My friend handed him a tape of our stuff, which was really bad at the time, and said something like, you really influenced what we try and do, and he
stuck the tape in his shirt pocket and was like thanks that means a lot!
numbnuts didn't have a name or phone number on it
anyway, been a huge fan since Streetcleaner hit the states and this will be a treat.
I might see more fucktards at this event in Philly than the Clutch show last month
I am working on loading said old material up from cassettes to digital as we speak.
I will share it with you guys for whatever it's worth.

"Date: 13th November, 1996
Location: Peabody's Down Under, Cleveland, OH
Review By: Damon Gregg
With news of an ominous snowstorm headed towards Cleveland that night, my friend and I braved the hour and fifteen minute drive from Akron to
Cleveland. Supposedly going to get 8 to 16 inches of snow in four hours we hoped that the show wouldn't get cancelled. The drive wasn't bad at all,
but we left extremely early. We got there at 7:15 p.m. and just walked right in without tickets. Looking around we saw Justin on the drums setting up
the soundcheck and Benny Green sitting on a bar stool watching the soundcheck. We went over and talked with Mr. Green for about ten minutes asking
questions about the band and just giving him general teen idoltry. He went up and set up his bass system, running his Fender bass through a Boss Heavy
Metal pedal? and into his Ampeg bass stack.
Justin then set up his Marshall stack and ran his line through a Boss Digital Sampler/Delay, a Boss Pitch Shifter/Delay, a Boss Heavy Metal pedal, and
a Crybaby Wah pedal. His sound and tone was incredible. We soon were kicked out to let the other bands set up and to set up the ticket line. When they
let us back in from the VERY cold outside, we came in and got autographs from Mr. Green, Mr. Broadrick, and Ted Parsons formally of Prong. Mr. Parsons
was sporting a cast on his foot from a fall off the bus in D.C. "It was just one of those things..." he said.
[snip]
Godflesh was up next. Peabody's was packed with about 250 plus people all waiting to get violent to Godflesh. They came out at 11:25 and everyone went
crazy. Ted set off the beginning sample off of Wake and Justin let his guitar feedback to it. When he started, the entire place went nuts. The entire
concert was one big pit. My friend and I were in front of the stage trying not to get crushed from the bodies behind us. They then played another song
off of Songs of Love and Hate, Sterile Prophet. Another great response from the crowd. Before they started, we saw the set list.
Wake
Sterile Prophet
Spite
Mothra
Crush My Soul
Anything is Mine
Hunte
Amoral
Time Death and Wastefulness
Cristbait Rising
Like Rats (encore)
After they played Cristbait Rising with it's mesmerizing ending riff, Justin played around with feedback, delay, and pitchshifting and let out sounds
never heard on this earth that rumbled out of his Marshall halfstack. How ironic that even though Slo Bob (opening band) had bigger and louder
equipment, Godflesh obviously blew them out of existence. The encore only had one song, Like Rats, and the crowd showed Godflesh what it means to play
in the Rock and Roll Capitol of the World. At the end of Like Rats, Justin let off a barrage of high pitch frequency noise which blew out almost
everyone's ears (boy did that hurt but well worth the tinnitus). He gave out a final goodbye to Cleveland and left the stage. They had to leave early
for some unknown reason (methinks it was the blizzard that occurred as we left Peabody's) to get down to Cincinati for the next show on the 14th.
Godflesh delivered, and hopefully they will return back to Cleveland on their next tour of the states. I will never forget this concert ever and not
just because of the severe tinnitus I have right as we speak. INCREDIBLE.... "

This was not the tour I saw them on. Weird. I know I saw them earlier than 1996. I could have sworn it was with Prong and other bands along those
lines.

Correction, I did see them on this tour. VOD was a no show and I did not see the other opening band.
