ive heard traced in ... By: kyleycoyote1. on 03 Dec 08, 05:58:17 ive heard traced in air is older stuff that they finally recorded as a result of the reunion? they shouls make an all new full length as well! i just can't get enough of them :)
yeah, i was in that ... By: martyr2005. on 02 Dec 08, 14:31:41 yeah, i was in that hellfest gig!! VEIL OF MAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NICE, i think we werent 10.000 screaming it,,,but i was screaming like 9999 people
: )
and then we met paul and he was so nice with us,,,
c y today in apolo !!! (with OCEAN!!! and opeth...)
ive just read those ... By: Vitaminnn07. on 03 Nov 08, 08:28:55 ive just read those liner notes, Pauls brother's name is Raul. haha.
Definitely there's so much soul, spirituality and skills in what they were doing back in the days (and now, i guess). their music is really the cornerstone (and it was for me, it gave an actual push to discover different things in life, first of all- yoga and jazz music)
It's funny how ... By: woocifer. on 03 Nov 08, 07:24:25 It's funny how instead of being a musical snob(because let's face it...he could look down his nose at a LOT of musicians) he was instead depressed and unhappy with the response from the CC fans. Which is totally unfortunate because guaranteed most CC fans LOVE Death. A lot of people find it hard to digest this music. But it's just a different head space. I dug it then and hated finding out that it was the only cd of theirs out there a year after they put it out. So glad for the re-union.
Their new CD Traced ... By: aguahoja. on 29 Oct 08, 06:21:01 Their new CD Traced in Air is another classic!

Amazing band.
this is a great band By: mshydro. on 10 Oct 08, 18:10:02 this is a great band
Exactly my friend. ... By: deadsurfkiss. on 13 Nov 08, 15:47:30 Exactly my friend. Every song or band he has involvement with, my ears perk. Same with Chuck schuldiner or Ihsahn from Emperor. It's the innovation and the birth of fresh and exciting idea's that will keep music like this loved. No one sounds like Cynic, and I think Masvidal can be thanked for that. When I finally get my movies off the ground( years from now :P) he's definitely somebody I will look for when I begin thinking about soundtracks...imagine the possibilities..
Good point. ... By: locustlimb. on 13 Nov 08, 06:37:05 Good point. Masvidal is a really smart dude. His songs are full of meaning and messages...there's no fluff (like most of the crap out there).
thanks By: arod1989. on 03 Nov 08, 23:24:41 thanks
Awesome... Paul has ... By: woocifer. on 03 Nov 08, 07:36:00 Awesome... Paul has a bad day and then goes and writes a stupid good album.
I wish when I stubbed my toe I would rip out this ridiculous solo too...
Masvidal will be ... By: deadsurfkiss. on 21 Oct 08, 17:00:12 Masvidal will be remembered as being one of the great thinkers in metal, and music in general.

As odd as this may ... By: woocifer. on 18 Nov 08, 22:12:17 As odd as this may sound...I was a Cynic fan before I was a Death fan haha
Well, Chuck also ... By: FuneralMoon91. on 15 Nov 08, 15:56:08 Well, Chuck also thanked his pets in booklets actually!:) They're both animal lovers!
The coolest thing I ... By: woocifer. on 03 Nov 08, 07:28:11 The coolest thing I always thought about this guy was the fact that he thanked his pets in the Focus CD liner notes. I hadn't seen anyone do that til then and I thought holy shit that's so defining of the spirit behind this band. The name couldn't be any more appropriate.
Great interview ... By: mospheric. on 28 Nov 08, 21:14:21 Great interview clips. This is a great band.
I love these short ... By: aguahoja. on 29 Oct 08, 06:19:40 I love these short interviews. Paul Masvidal is a great guitarist and songwriter. Cynic rules!
I agree with you, ... By: zincnoid. on 19 Nov 08, 17:35:07 I agree with you, the new album may be less agressive than Focus but definitely more mature and complex (with a wider range of emotions). It has multiple layers. Every time you hear a song from it, new layers get peeled back. I don't get tired of listening to it.
yes, after listen a ... By: ovnianopolus. on 14 Nov 08, 20:51:39 yes, after listen a lot to it, i think is less agressive, but also i think is MORE complicated than "focus", get the album ;)
This guy is really ... By: aguahoja. on 14 Nov 08, 05:37:37 This guy is really lay back...his music is killer good. I like all the new songs I've heard from the new Traced in Air album...an original band indeed.
When i first heard ... By: braineater91. on 10 Nov 08, 05:44:17 When i first heard Cynic i was like... "A band with Robotic vocals?! YES!" ive always liked the vocoder effects. I think Paul uses "Auto-tune" for the effect now.
it's good to see ... By: DavidPR. on 07 Nov 08, 16:27:12 it's good to see that such a humble artist like Paul just brings such a great sound to metal, plus its also good to see no utube fights on thes vids or any of that bullshit , lol !! long live the creativity and uniqueness of bands like Cynic, and to hell with all that scene-core stuff, that stuff's gonna die out real soon !
ps thanx for posting vitaminnn07, u the man !!

I think the new ... By: mshydro. on 10 Oct 08, 18:12:50 I think the new album Traced in Air has an amazing quality. It really shows their growth as great musicians.
Paul Masvidal is a ... By: locustlimb. on 07 Oct 08, 06:00:46 Paul Masvidal is a very talented and unpretentious person. The sign of a true artist!
(I apologize for my ... By: FuneralMoon91. on 06 Oct 08, 17:22:41 (I apologize for my poor English, but it isn't my first language! And all Italians are pretty bad at languages)Anyway, Cynic and Paul's work helped me to become more musically open-minded, since they introduced me to many great bands: Mahavishnu Orchestra, for example...and Dead Can Dance.
I like almost everything from Paul's projects: Portal, Aeon Spoke....even Master :D
But after hearing ... By: FuneralMoon91. on 06 Oct 08, 17:17:12 But after hearing live the new songs, I have to say that I am pretty faithful about the new album. Sure, it seems less agressive and maybe less complicated than "Focus", but still, a very inspired songwriting I think.
Yes, I have. I also ... By: FuneralMoon91. on 06 Oct 08, 17:16:50 Yes, I have. I also have some videos, but of very poor quality. Great show, though.
Well, I didn't know about his smoking habits :) (even if I kind of imagined it after seeing his interview with Death back in '91..."climbing inside the eyelash of a distant fear"! What the hell?!:D)
huh cool. do you ... By: Vitaminnn07. on 06 Oct 08, 14:16:44 huh cool. do you have any photos?
no doubt he absorbed a lot of influences through his early years, had so much self-education, unbelievable.
to speak of what he's doing last years, its a little disappointment man.. seems like all what he's doing now is smoking weed. i thought like after focus he will continue diving into more various and interesting music, ethnic, fusion, more complex things. but it's alright, i thank him for what he did in 93. cause it was push for me to discover jazz music.
What was that " ... By: FuneralMoon91. on 06 Oct 08, 12:51:48 What was that "yaaaaahhhhhhh"?!:p
I admire this guy so much. I met him this year in Italy, and he was supernice and very humble.
yeah man, cynic is ... By: Vitaminnn07. on 19 Oct 08, 10:40:31 yeah man, cynic is a totally different dimension. it's a corner stone. i remember myself in school i was listenening metallica, malmsteen, death, etc, but cynic changed me. ever since then i was listeneing and self educating myself with fusion, ethnic music, jazz and classics. all this was right after ive heard cynic, after listenening pauls masterminds like scott henderson, mahavishnu orch etc
i just watched ... By: PearlJamm. on 19 Oct 08, 07:40:50 i just watched video 11 which says what i was just saying... sorry my bad :P
these interviews ... By: PearlJamm. on 19 Oct 08, 07:30:12 these interviews are awesome. i had no idea Cynic toured with Cannibal Corpse... i kinda feel sorry for em coz i could see some narrow minded 'brutal' corpse fans giving them shit.
pauls such a legend
What first inspired you to pick up a guitar?
Interview was taken from blogs.guitarworld.co m/metalkult/videos/c ynic/
Just wanted to upload it here, so more people can see it. Sorry if it's not comfortable to watch these little bits separately.
Well if Paul knew ... By: deadsurfkiss. on 21 Oct 08, 16:26:06 Well if Paul knew Sean as a kid, then it explains why there playing is almost telepathically in synch. They both played in Death on their 'Human' disc, and it clearly is evident. True musical genious's they are..
This guy is a cool ... By: locustlimb. on 07 Oct 08, 01:00:47 This guy is a cool cat!...great musician!
