It's crazy how you can remember all that stuff 🤯

It's really cool to see Car Bomb on one of the main stages. Well deserved !

Elliot is on such a higher level that he blows the minds of classically trained jazz drummers who hear his work. Truly one of the greatest.

Like who?

every time I try to play car bomb material it feels like no human could keep it all together in their head and here's elliot hoffman looking so relaxed and IN CONTROL, truly incredible player

I already commented this to Greg, but I am so very proud of you guys. When I heard you guys at Mojo 13 five hundred years ago, bought Centralia, and had my eyes opened to musical concepts that were unfathomable to me at the time, I knew you were one of a kind. It warms my wee wittle heart to see you guys get a fraction of the recognition that you so greatly deserve, and to see you enjoy a stage fit for the kings that you are. I can't wait to see you all again if the day ever presents itself. Stay groovy, Mr. Hoff! I still love ya 😍

Hellboy drumming.

This reminds me of what audiences looked like in front of old Meshuggah. No idea what they're hearing but in 20 years time someone will comment on this video going "I WAS IN THAT AUDIENCE, IT CHANGED MY LIFE". When in actual fact they never looked at the band once during the set and were instead discussing with a friend how much they were looking forward to seeing Killswitch Engage or something like that.

glad to see Ron Perlman on the gig

Elliot, this is some of the most beautiful drumming I've ever seen in my entire life! I almost lost my balance and fell off my chair because your playing made time seem to liquefy. This is incomprehensibly fluid, free flowing and smooth, especially considering how very complex it actually is. Truly beautiful and a genuine joy to watch and listen.

Unbelievable skill.

I've been waiting for something like 10 years now for Elliott and Car Bomb to finally start getting the recognition they ABSOLUTELY deserve. These guys are on an entire new level... absolute brain MELTING stuff going on in their music and i LOVE it!

Lol every time I watch you play I'm mostly just shaking my head in disbelief... Absolutely love it. Stoked to see such a big crowd in front of y'all too.. Such a great drummer, band and what a great time to be alive. Thank you

Insane talent right here. Jazz metal.

Can’t wait to see you in the UK this year!!

Not a more unique drummer out there. You guys really have your own sound. Can't wait for y'all to come around.

Please come to Australia in the future! At least one concert!! 🙏🏻 Great video Elliot 🤘🏻😎

Finally bought a Piccolo snare and I blame this video. Love the sound, the style; so sick, so unique. Cheers man!

Man, Nonagon brings on all the headbangs! Love it so much 🤘

Great performance as always!

Im so glad you exist man...

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Hello Elliot. I just saw Car Bomb last night in Vancouver and I believe you guys are the tightest band I've seen live. Thank you so much for coming!

Nonagon fucks me up every god damn time.

Hey Elliot, quick question. Is there a reason the outro drum solo to Scattered Sprites is omitted when played live? I always liked it, but was wondering if it’s cut due to time or something else. Saw you with BTBAM in Santa Ana, CA this year and it was phenomenal btw. Really want to see you guys again

15 Years ago I stumbled upon M^6 on youtube. since then I bought at least one physical copy of all your albums and went to see you play twice. and here I'am. still finding myself with my mouth open, slightly shaking my head not comprehending how you guys manage to create something this intense. Its safe to say that I would not be who Iam musically if you werent around. thanks so much! xoxoxox

My god he makes it looks so effortless. What an incredible musician

Oustanding performance, simply great. Snare kills.

Two of my favorite songs back to back, thank you so much for sharing this.

The disrespect for time from this guy. It's like you have 4 brains working together, pleasure to watch. I've loved you guys since 06 when Centralia blew my 22 y.o. mind

Thank you for posting this! It fills me with joy to have the opportunity to watch such an incredible performance.

Absolutely amazing.

Fantastic work...love the snare.

Loving it Elliot!

Among the best drummers on Hellfest 2022!!!! I still stay on my ass since😱🥵

My man's just got the flams on fleek.

Just wow!! Finally you guys get the attention you deserve! I'm so glad I got to see you play on Euroblast back in 2019.

It’s not only the time signatures it’s the pushing and pulling of time! That’s absolute JAZZZZZZ incredible talent to move that to heavy music. Also amazing from the other guys two of course that guitar tone is insane!

That was absolutely incredible. Hats off to you my dude, those time signature changes are crazy hard to play.

Can’t wait for the knitting factory show. Truly one of the best sounding live acts ever. You’re insane man

Best drummer out there imo. Stoked you guys are finally coming to western Canada! Already got my ticket 😎

SICK DUDE !!!!!!!!!

you guys sound so 'natural' i love it

So awesome brotha!!!

Absolutely Killer! 🤘🐱🤘

Could watch him all day, personally.

Hellyest

I saw you guys in manchester a few years ago supporting animals as leaders. Your set was so good that i actually had a mental breakdown and went home as soon as you finished 🤣🤣 WOOO

Yes lord! Good job, Elliot!

I love you Elliot, thank you sir.

Gotta that love that snare! SD493? Anyhow, fantastic playing as always Elliot! :D

Carbomb without Mike is basically a modern drummer expo clinic. 😂😂🤣 Jesus Christ man you never cease to amaze me. Solidly my top 3 favorite drummers ever up there with Tony Royster and Dave Weckl. Also - was this a back line kit?

You gotta have bigggggballls to play without a singer at hellfest! Bigballs or strong composing and attitude! Come to Italy please!

How do you guys count from 3:31? seems like it's a simple rhythm you can keep up with by tapping you leg, but it feels as though the main taps are in between beats? I just tried and it just is different, please help.

Car Bomb is not for everyone. Definitely not a band you can go out dancing to. Car Bomb is one of those bands that seems only to be appreciated by other musicians. Because we are the only one's who can understand it. Car Bomb is one of the most unique, most heavy bands on the planet. Nice to see them on a big stage.

i wanna come see you guys live someday, do you come to canada?

Absolute fucking weapon

Love this band, and I love how people just watch because most can’t follow what’s going on lmaooo

fuckin hell, that's technical and precise. how is he that solid at being stuttery lol

is that a Trick system on the bass pedal/s ?
