I was at blueridge both years! A lot of people were waiting for sleep token when knocked loose played and had no idea what was about to happen when knocked loose came out. It was a legendary moment for me watching the sleep tokens fans fight for their life during knocked loose
I was at the very front of the GA crowd for Blue Ridge last year! My friends love both bands, so they brought me along - which was how Knocked Loose ended up being my first pit show. I'm so, so hyped to see them again next month
@@Plz8662 dude imagine Knocked loose and Kublai khan do a tour it would be so sick, add gideon to it too if you dont know gideon i recomend giving them a ear if you like KL and KL
i’ve always loved how this podcast goes from asking a question from the notes to a conversation that branches off to completely obscure things that only a genuine chat between friends get
Man i went to high school with Bryan. He was 2 grades above me. I never became close to him but I was always going to shows. I now live in Oklahoma and it is so awesome to see these guys killing it. Anytime i need a taste of home, i'll listen to Knocked Loose. They played in OKC on 5/4 and it was the first time i'd seen them since 2015 or so. What a fucking show
That’s rad they came to OK… i was perpetually disappointed when I lived in NE Oklahoma bc it seemed like every band I wanted to see either skipped OK entirely (but would have 3 fucking separate dates in TX) I moved to Denver 4 years ago, and everyone comes here- it’s been incredible. Definitely things I miss about OK too tho
You went to South Oldham? I went to a different school (in Etown) but I was involved in the scene & ran in the same circles. I watched him perform with Remember Me Always a couple times. He wasn’t known for being a nice person.
@@ScavbandPA I rarely saw him tbh. My sister ran with a crew that shared some mutual friends though. I'd love to sit with him now and have a chat about oldham county. I used to skate with Issac's brother and some other friend's, but this was at a time when knocked loose was still beginning, so the hype wasn't full blown just yet
It’s really cool because I’ve noticed the “hard blink” as a nervous tick before, and notably recognized midway through this that he wasn’t doing it much at all. That’s a testament to comfort, friendship, and progress. Awesome fuckin pod, by the way.
@@austinphillip2164 have you been assessed for autism and adhd? Very high incidence (up to 80%) of tics in the former and about 20% in ADHD. Tics are usually associated in people's minds with Tourette's, which also comes under the umbrella of neurodivergent conditions, but obviously that condition is far less common - thought there is an association between ADHD and Tourette's as well (dopamine imblance/improper response from the brain)
The KL LORE in this episode is pure gold. You can tell when artists pull from their own experiences to make their art because it always feels more personal and special. Brian is that kind of artist and it's so interesting to hear about the experiences that inspired him.
I've only just seen the notification and I'm so psyched. Bryan is crushing it right now and he's such a thoughtful dude. This is bound to be excellent, the dream guest I didn't know I needed.
Bryan is my inspiration, im currently trying to make music and he, without a doubt, is the reason why im finally doing it after so many people have asked why I haven't. thank you for having him on! I hope to collab with him one day!
this is awesome, i’ve always wanted to make music in this similar style. i can’t say im a fan of knocked loose, but im a fan of the individuals in KL. especially bryan after this episode! so cool to see him inspire you to finally start music, maybe ill do the same one day
I have the same blinking tic as Bryan, and it’s very rare that I’ve seen anybody else with that so the first time I saw it in one of his interviews I was basically like that Leonardo DiCaprio meme where he points at the screen. 😂
Wow great interview. Bryan is such a good dude. Him and the band deserve the best, cannot wait for the new album this Friday. Watch out for evil beagles
Sick conversation first off! I'm new to Knocked Loose an Bryan. I'm 42 an a snowmaker at a ski resort here in Maine. So I'm probably a little older than the rest of the fans. I've only been listening for a year. And what a year it's been! This music brings so many emotions out of me I love everything the band an their team is doing. I can relate to Bryan's religious beliefs and his past with religion. I grew up catholic in Massachusetts as an alterboy when all the priests stuff was going on. No it never happened to me. I say it's because I was a chubby kid but who knows with those sickos. Anyways I'm happy this video came across my algorithm it was great to hear Bryan speak because I've only listened to the music side of him so thank you for this. Hope everyone has a great day 🤘
whooooo WITH BLOOD COMES CLEANSING, damn that's a blast from the past. "We love to fight" was the best chant back in the day, can't even remember the name of the song
Unbelievable pod! Definitely agree about the Kublai Khan direct support comment. Saw them play before Chelsea Grin and they absolutely mopped the floor with everyone.
1:10:21. Wow, such a heartfelt and deep section. Bryan! Man, I want to give you a hug so bad. As a pastor, my heart breaks for you and what you experienced at church and the camp. I don't know the guy's heart who was involved in killing your friend, but as insane as it sounds, the forgiveness of Christ will extend to him as well. So many people are angry at the church for not being accepting and loving, yet this church is facing backlash for being accepting and loving. Think about that circular reasoning for a minute. I will leave you with this: Don't judge a philosophy by it's abuse. Look past the Christians and look at Christ.
These videos tend to inspire the hell outta me to write music and always turn me into a huge fan of these musicians. Thanks for doing these interviews Craig ✊🙏
The wife and I were at the last Blue Ridge. Everybody in the crowd there was absolutely sucking due to how hot it was/poor planning by the people who put it on. When KL came on it was absolute fuckin nuts. It was like the whole crowd turned into a mosh pit, I’ll never forget it 🤘🏼 love these guys.
The absolute sadness I felt when I found out the vinyl was sold out can only be matched by the happiness I felt when I clicked the link with hopes of buying it
This was such a lovely episode! Thank you for sharing such beautiful and personal stories :) Suffocate has been on repeat, and I’ll definitely be listening to more KL!
Absolutely awesome getting some insight into Bryan's relationship with religion and how it ties together across different tracks/albums. Love your work as always Craig.
Best episode yet. What a genuinely beautiful guy Bryan is... There's a lot of dudes in metal that need to take a good look at themselves. Maybe if they just take a few lessons from Bryan, the world would be a better place.
By gig in Poland it was one of the greatest concerts in my 40 years of life. I was going crazy and breathless in front of the stage in pogo. While I watched you guys you were mega professional. Headbusa and DeafHeaven with you it was a beautiful mix. So don't worry about the little people with the phone
Been watching K//L from the start, knew i was witnessing something special, same feeling i got hearing Slipknot's st album when it dropped, haven't been disappointed one little bit, onward and upward lads, hail🤘
This whole chunk around the 1:01:00 mark is so sick. I love hearing people's take on spirituality. If anything, life as a human is awesome. Great episode Craig, you are doing awesome work. (keep up the vlogs too.)
I was at the 2019 Stray / KL show in Bristol! I flew from Portugal to see Northlane 2 days before that show and i stayed so could catch all those sick bands. TBH - I'm not a huge hardcore fan, and even tho I liked a couple of KL songs, i went in like "ok let me see what these guys got, lets check what all the fuss is about". 10 seconds after they got on stage I was completely blown away and i realised how absolutely genius they are.
I’ve never hated this band. I discovered this band listening to Despised Icon on UA-cam and the next song to play was Oblivions Peak and from there on I was hooked to Knocked Loose. This band goes hard
I saw them with MIW and I was so excited to see them. Im going to see them in June. I swear I love Bryan and appreciate how honest he is. Such a great band. Im terrified of flying too and this made me feel better.
I have a picture of Knocked Loose at Blue ridge last year. I remember looking behind me and not understanding how that many people were watching and stayed watching.
So thankful i just went to a slipknot show and got inteoduced to this band! They are so fire!! My dream concert would a ticket with knocked loose, spirit box and sleep token or invent animate......would be mind blowing!
Dude. This is giving me chills. I never wanted anything to do with the church. But the exact situation Bryan described losing a friend in high school, happened to my friends and I. We lost a friend junior year. Guy driving the car they were in was no good. Guy was a problem. Took no responsibility. Never saw cuffs.
I watched that KL set at Coachella last year. It was so sick! I wish I could find the video to rewatch it but it’s no where on the internet. Sad because it was such a sick set.
this was such an interesting interview, love the story about the new album title. I don't even listen to KL that much but saw them live with MIW and they were incredible
I was at that show in Albany, KK definitely crushed, but KL’s set might have been my most intense experience in a crowd. Movements was also amazing. It was a stacked card. I took a video of “where light divides the holler” and it’s a miracle I didn’t lose my phone and got as much as I did lol
"You ever put Shrek 2 on and mosh for the whole fucking thing", is it to late to change my favorite quote for giveaway?
this might be the all timer for the whole fuckin podcast
also, you know some band is gonna put Shrek 2 on them on the LED wall at some point now
denied by fate?

I totally get the kublai khan bit. It was so crazy for me to see the stick to your guns headliner run in New Haven, with kublai direct support. They absolutely murdered their set and the whole room was empty afterwards with only a few people staying for stick. Mental
Dude on a hardlore Podcast Vincent from The Acacia Strain said he never wants to play after Kublai khan again.
Kublai Khan is impossible to follow dude. I wouldn't have guessed an empty floor for Stick to your Guns though.. Jesus

Sleep token is ass

i can vouch for that. it’s in the running to be to be my favorite knocked loose set. there was something so satisfying about watching that unfold 😭
The calmest cat becomes the most unhinged beast when the beat drops. I love the contrast in Bryan.
I love Bryan giving Kublai Khan their props, both K/L and Kublai Khan are incredible
Add Hatebreed and that's been 90% of my Playlist for the past year lol
Dude Kublai Khan is so dope
I first heard the song true fear & fell in love w/ their music. KL & KK are so sick I also love Korn. A lot of K bands….
Yup, just saw KL last night in Denver, was incredibly bummed to discover I missed KK coming to town a few weeks ago

Get that badge in Bryan. When you've got the podcast at 11 and Millwall at home at 3.
underrated comment😂
haaahahahaha
Dude I hope the elderly woman from the plane story eventually hears the story for the album name, thats so fucking interesting.
I wish Bryan would do more long form like this. Quite an interesting guy.
You wouldn't believe how excited I am to see another knocked loose member on the show!

Lack of sleep & smoking will do that

Yep, this was an all-time great interview.
Let Bryan blink as much as he wants; the universe clearly wants his eyeball.
Also shout-out Bryan's wholesome grandpa
“Bend the knee, child of God” hits so much harder after this episode!!
1:21:57 I am judged and set on fire at the stand falling deaf to their cries, the bleating of a hundred voices in unison asking me why
Thanks! I was wondering where that popped up on the EP
I think this is my favourite podcast episode of all time
I was at Knotfest Iowa and the crowd went absolutely nuts when KL played. Great show.

Unbelievable pod! Definitely agree about the Kublai Khan direct support comment. Saw them play before Chelsea Grin and they absolutely mopped the floor with everyone.
This was one of the most entertaining & interesting podcasts I've seen tbh. Well done Craig.......seriously.
01:17:50 that eye for an eye bit is probably my favourite scream ever, it's so gut wrenching, i get goose bumps every single time
Love these podcasts where we get to really know the vocalists / other band members of such awesome bands! Thanks for doing this!

So stoked they brought Choir Boy out. They are such a good band.
what a beautiful story with the name of the album. loved that!
What a great talk, Brtan is such a cool guy. Can't wait for the album
To be honest, I just started listening to Knocked Loose because their name goes HARD😂 I’m so excited for the new album😳 Thanks for the episode🖤🖤
Really love listening to him talk and tell stories about stuff. Definitely have him back soon.
