Live, the band tended to merge individual songs into a seamless, cohesive piece. Although band members engaged in crowd banter and vocals, they typically introduced the songs with instruments, feedback or silence. Predominantly an instrumental band, Baron Grod were known to insert distorted screams and vocal melodies at certain points.
