A Piece of Time Podcast w/Kelly Shaefer - EP 2: Paul Masvidal (Cynic, Ex-Death, Aeon Spoke)

Kelly you should start doing these again, this is really cool. Two absolute legends

This is an awesome interview, lots of passion, great questions, honest chat....thank you!

Fucking killer interview Kelly, I can feel the passion and depth of your friendship with Paul and vice versa !! You two are really special human beings !!

yeah

2 REAL gentlemen. 2 days ago, you and I spoke outside Montreal's Fairmount Theatre after the beyond amazing concert you guys gave us. I did tell you Kelly, that what stood out the most, besides your stellar & amazing performance, was your Beautiful, Fantastic & Authentic Energy. You hugged me tight and said that meant the world to you. Well this 2h mafnificent interview emantes the exact same Wonderful energy. Love & Light to you both always ❤

And here we are now and they ARE touring together, can't wait to see them in a week and a half! Love Cynic and recently became a fan of Atheist to prepare myself for seeing them live

Great conversation between 2 legends.

Too much talent for the Internet to absorb! Proud of both of you gentlemen 🖤🙏🤘

Looking forward two seeing these two bands on the end of June, in Michigan

Just seen the tour pass through Milwaukee on a Monday night. Amazing show! Two great humans right here. Paul literally shook hands with everyone as they went to the exit.

It's insane how much in common Kelly and Paul have, from pioneering and implementing the jazz fusion in death metal at its early stages to (tragically) losing two of the greatest bassists this genre graced.

Me and some friends got to meet the guys from Cynic after a show back in 2010. The energy was electrifying and they were all humble, down to earth dudes. Paul was so awesome, he signed our tickets and answered our questions candidly. Beautiful experience.

Aeon Spoke is the only thing that kept me from committing suicide for a few years

Kelly, I can tell you're highly enthusiastic with a head bursting with amazing stories, I hate to criticize but please let your guest speak, please don't bulldoze them.

This hang out was great you guys, funny and intereting,....i'd love to see that Roger and Doug photograph. Thanks!

2 legends, 2 great mans - metall Universe. thank you

Paul is legend. I also credit him for introducing me to the greatest musician I’ve ever heard Allan Holdsworth. I remember reading a playlist of his favorite albums and nearly everything he put on that list was a Holdsworth album. Hearing that music opened my mind and ears to a universe I didn’t think existed. I will forever be grateful to him for that introduction…Atheist was also my introduction to prominent bass work. When I first heard Piece of Time back in the day Roger’s playing flipped my world upside down in terms of what was possible. His attack reminds me of Geddy and Doug (Watchtower). I also prefer his playing on the Unquestionable demos compared to the Tony Choy versions (no disrespect as Tony sounds amazing), that particular attack just wasn’t there. What a monumental loss for extreme music that was. I still listen to his playing to this day in complete awe and admiration, watching his live footage shows what a natural he was, just effortlessly ripping out those lines and not breaking a sweat. He may be gone but he’s not forgotten…

Even 1 day!!! Love you guys.

I love this podcast. Just stumbled across this on my visit to Decibel Magazine early afternoon today. Love absorbing the energy from yall. Good shit!!!

The guys made the tour happen. Awesome time
