My brother Tommy and I have grown up loving thrash metal and of course one of our favorite bands is Sepultura. Unfortunately, we never had a chance to see Sepultura live with founding members, brothers Max and Iggor Cavalera. When we found out that Max and Iggor were touring in support of the 20th anniversary of their last album together in Septultura “Roots” and playing every song from the record, we had to go. The Max and Iggor Cavalera Return To Roots tour made a stop in the Bay Area to perform at the legendary Slim’s in San Francisco.

The day before the concert, Chasta and I interviewed Max Cavalera. Listen to the interview below.

The show itself was incredible. It felt like a religious experience. Finally, I was able to see in person songs that I thought would never be performed live again.

Below are some videos I filmed last night. Sorry for the shaky camera. I was standing outside one of the craziest pits I have ever seen in person.

Max and Iggor Cavalera performing “Roots Bloody Roots.”

Max and Iggor Cavalera performing “Spit.”

Max and Iggor Cavalera performing “Lookaway” with Mike Patton from Faith No More who made a rare guest appearance on stage.

It was a fun night and Slim’s was packed. Thank you Max and Iggor Cavalera for doing this tour. A real treat to the longtime fans of Sepultura.

It was an honor to meet and interview #MaxCavalera back on 10-23-16, after him and his brother @mixhell did a killer #ReturnToRoots set at @aftershockconcert. I have been a fan of Max for years and totally geeked out when I met him. Max is an awesome and nice dude to hang out with. #Sepultura #Soulfly #CavaleraConspiracy #1077TheBone #BabyHuey #Aftershock2016 #Aftershock

Originally at the @aftershockconcert, @chastalynn and I were supposed to interview #MaxCavalera and @mixhell together but we only ended up talking to Max and I was bummed because I thought I wasn't going to meet #IgorCavalera but sure enough Igor made it to the press tent and I was able to get a photo with him. Cool dude and such a badass drummer. Thank you Igor for all you work with @sepultura and @cavaleraconspiracy. #Sepultura #Soulfly #CavaleraConspiracy #ReturnToRoots #1077TheBone #BabyHuey #Aftershock2016 #Aftershock
