Interview by Pierre Gutiérrez
Video editor: Renzo Gutiérrez
I still listen to Nothingface all the time. Skeletons is a masterpiece.
Me too man. One of my fav bands ever!
Listening to them this morning
Damn, I miss Nothingface very much. They kicked ass and I'm lucky I got to see them once. RIP Matt.
I got to see them at a small venue right before Violence came out. I talked with Matt Holt for nearly 30 minutes before the show. He seemed like such a great, down to earth guy. I tried not to fan boy and thanked him for taking the time and he expressed that he wasn't in a hurry and wanted to continue our conversation. He was as gracious and humble as anyone I've ever met. I talked with everyone in the band, and they were all great, but i was an aspiring vocalist and Matt could tell that it meant a lot to me. Rip, good sir.
You are so lucky!
I got to see these guys a few times back in the day. One of my favorite bands no one knows of. But get stuck netlxt to me at the light. Youbwill know
Fun Story, Ozzfest with Nothingface, I can attest to Tommy's issue with needles. He was on the tour bus, Burgettstown (Pittsburgh), PA, his tattoo artist was with them. Well, he was getting his sleeve worked on, he asked me to the back and we played tic tac toe on bright yellow sticky notes (I still have them, Tommy signed the one he won. ha ha ha) as he was getting inked. Why was I on the tour bus? I had an interview (freelance writer) with Tom Maxwell. Ended up just spending the rest of the day with them. Good time, great memories.
Lucky you! I never had the chance to see Nothingface live and they are one of my favourite bands ever!
@@rocktalks5706 I was really surprised at how well they were live. Sometimes studio sound and live performances can go either way. The energy was electric, sounds cliche' but it truly was. I've thought about sharing all my stories or many of the photos and memorabilia I have from those years. Maybe some day, we'll see. Thank you for the interview, I appreciated it. It allowed me to have a moment with my memories.
Great interview, thanks to you guys and thanks to Tommy to take the time and share all those Nothingface stories, we fans really appreciate it. Rest in peace Matt, you and your art is really missed.
Thanks a lot to YOU! Please share the video :)
i met Tommy at Ozzfest 2003 (the whole band actually), but later on in the day Tommy was walking around and i started talking with him and we ended up watching Cradle of Filth together and it was one of my favorite concert memories.
Lucky you!!
I still jam out to nothingface weekly.
Same!
Interesting fact: in 2003, Nothingface & Vision of Disorder had a co-headlining tour called From Violence to Devastation Tour, but it was cancelled due to low ticket sales (prior to the 1st date)
That's a sad story. But maybe it wasnt a very smart call. VOD never made it big. A tour with American Head Charge back then would be a different story maybe.
That's a bummer!
@@rocktalks5706 that would have ruled!
God, that would have been an awesome tour. VOD is wildly underrated for how good they are.
I'm glad I found this interview. I was lucky enough to see Nothingface in a small venue in Dallas touring with Mudvayne between Violence and Skeletons. Probably the best band I ever saw live. There was a time before Matt's passing that he was on Facebook talking with fans. So sad man they are so underrated. At the Dallas show, in the middle of Blue Skin (my favorite song on that album), somebody in the crowd threw their baseball cap at the stage in the middle of the chorus and Matt caught it and sang into it. It was so well done you would have thought it was rehearsed. It was just one fluid motion. I wasn't but maybe 18 or 19 at the time but I'll never forget it. So awesome.
Thanks for watching man. Please share so more people could see this. I never saw Nothingface live, they never played Southamerica 😞
I remember Sickles having more energy than all the other members. He would literally jump into the pit during songs...in between songs...
Hahahaa really? That sounds really amazing! Hope there's a video about that.
Chris is a formidable drummer! But Tommy's more aggressive and "unorganized" style of playing really made Skeletons even more legendary!
Long live Nothingface
One of the biggest regrets is not seeing Nothing face Perform live
If you lived in the states back then, then it is a shame. I lived in Peru my whole life, they never played there, not even Southamerica.
I lived in shit hole Alaska for 20 years during the nu metal phase. I never got to see them play either😢
I really hope Tommy can convince Tom and Bill to release any unreleased completed songs that may exist from the 2005 era. Besides "Let It Burn" and "Walking On Bodies", there's another song that exists called "Pain" with Matt singing that's never been released, only a couple snippets that Jerry leaked. I just think at this point with Matt gone, any completed demo song that has him singing on it should be released so the fans can hear them.
Yeah man, the real Nothingface fans deserve to listen to those last recordings.
@@rocktalks5706 Not sure if you're a fan of Taproot, but several years back those guys put out an 8 CD boxset of all their rare & unreleased B-sides and demos. How awesome would it be if the guys from Nothingface did something similar?
Thank you for interviewing Tommy! He is a stand up guy. I messaged him on Instagram not long ago and he told me about how he was throwing up and Shannon Larkin held him, super awesome guy that genuinely enjoys discussing Nothingface. You should try to interview Bill Gaal, Chris Houck, Jerry Montano and Tom Maxwell as well!
Thanks for watching! Houck is not interested in doing interviews. He told me that a few months ago. Cant find Bill's contact. Tom...well you know. Montano wasnt an official Nothingface member (according to Matt Holt) and never recorded an official album so Im not interested in him. Im glad you liked the interview, please share!
@@rocktalks5706 I do know that Montano did step in for Bill on tour in 2001 and he also recorded songs with the band in 05. The album that never saw the light of day. I can understand that some members of the band would decline to interview. My favorite band of all time. I have skeletons tattooed on my arm as a tribute to Matt Holt. It’s my favorite album. I love Nothingface, hopefully you can do more interviews in the future!! Thank you! 🤘🤘
@@joepulaskiiii Nice!! Nothingface is one of my favourite bands ever! I will try to get more interviews with NF members. Stay tuned!
Tom does lots of interviews luckily. Check out his interview with the guitarist of God Forbid, from earlier this year. He talks about Nothingface a lot
@@Skeletal33 Mmmmmm Besides the interview you mentioned and another with some UA-cam channel make only 3 interviews in 1 year. That`s not a lot, man.
While i was always a bigger fan of houck's drumming, tommy is an animal and a rad dude. Holy hell does he clean up well haha
Both are great drummers for sure
But yeah Houck being the founder gets a special place. He recorded Violence for Christ sake!
Great band love this guys
Nothingface is one of my favorite bands ever!
I just watched this video and when Tommy was talking about meeting Shannon Larkin for the first time when he was playing in Godsmack and that Tommy said his first show was with the big crowd with Godsmack and Slipknot actually the band called Amen that first record came out in 1999 and Shannon played drums on that record and tour with them and nothingface was touring for violence opening up for Amen, I went to go see them at Alley Kats in Richmond VA so Shannon didn't join Godsmack until 2002/2003 when Godsmack released faceless. When I was at the Alley Kats show I was hanging out with both nothingface and amen and Tommy had his then girlfriend with him and told her she needed to meet someone which was Shannon Larkin and that was in 2000. Tommy first show and first time meeting Shannon was before the Slipknot and Godsmack show he was talking about. I was on the Nothingface street team so that's how I got to hangout with them alot and I have lots of stories. Last time I talked to Tommy was at a show at the 9:30 club in DC I went to go see Lamb of God and he came up behind me and scared the living shit out of me. He was there to see the show with his girlfriend and this was after Nothingface called it quits. If you ever want more stories hit me up. Love the show and content so keep it up.
Awesome to hear the back story from Tommy. I have been a Nothingface fan since the old days - from early 90s with Dave Gabbard as lead singer. Went to see them an Manny's in Rockville, MD a few times. I really miss Matt Holt. :( Would have been amazing to see how they would have evolved if the band had stayed together. Listen to the music all the time to this day. Its killer, hard hitting, and aggressive music that I appreciate.
So great to hear stories about this incredible band.
Thank you for watching. Please share

@@rocktalks5706 No problem brother! Take care all of you who are a part of this channel!
Thanks for interviewing Sickles. I saw NF back in 2003 on the Skeletons tour.
You are welcome! Please share!
Tommy's a cool dude. He drew a drumset on the back of my shirt when I met all NF at a small venue in TN where they played. The week before i saw them in Atl. I believe that was a few shows before it all ended for them. I miss NF. My fav band of all time. I even have some signed stuff from Chris Houck 🙂
You are so lucky!
@rocktalks5706 thanks! I got all their signatures on the back of that shirt including Matt 🙂 it's in a frame hangin in my music room
@@sunnys5150 I would love to see a pic of it. Follow me on instagram please: rocktalks_pierre

Thanks a lot, man.I'm glad you liked it. Please share!
Kudos
Thanks man! Please share :)
Interesting stories and moments about Nothingface origins.
Thanks a lot dear Kong!
I have all of Ingredient 17 on my page, blame your brother, Tommy
LoL I'm subbed 2 u and thank u!
Was that Stl when you broke the kick pedal?
What’s a demo?
A demo is a bunch of songs before the mixing and mastering proccess. They sound rough.
Id love to see them reunite (no more Hellyeah please) with a new vocalist
Yeah man, I need NF so bad that a reunion with another singer doesnt sound too crazy to me. Maybe just for a reunion tour. I would LOVE to listen to NF songs live for the first time in my life. Of course Matt Holt was ONE OF A KIND, no disrespect to him at all. RIP.
@@rocktalks5706 ya, i saw them in 1999, and twice in 2000. They were really good
@@Skeletal33 COOL! Lucky you!
@@rocktalks5706 who would be a good Matt replacement.. for an honor style reunion
@@chadware6723 the singer from American Head Charge. Of course he is not Matt Holt but he would do a very good job.
What happened to Matt? Was it drugs?
No. Degenerative disease.
This interview was way too short and yall kept cutting him off (stfu like seriously lol), should've asked him to also find an ozzfest footage of them. But glad you asked him about the rest of their unreleased songs after skeletons.
Hi Eric. Here's the thing. When you do a zoom call with 3 or more people you only get 40 minutes for free. Since we were 3 guys I knew we had to do this fast and interrup him from time to time in order to cover all the questions (which we did). An interview between 35 and 40 minutes is more than enough considering pretty much everybody just watch between 5 or 10 minutes, according to UA-cam statistics. Thanks for watching!
