#NikNocturnal #Spiritbox #MikeStringer
Mike is so chill. Him talking about all the little riffs that they have to compose into songs & eventually an album is so relatable. Love this podcast & the overall conversation.
Mike: It's not going so great, yesterday a car ran over my cat
Nik: *Jimmy Fallon wheeze*
this man singlehandedly got me back into playing guitar.
26:15 kills me every time.
“ThErE’s ToO mUcH 400 Hz iN tHe SnArE drUm”
Yo! Too funny. This album is trash. *throws computer in the fuck-it-bucket
I fucking love Spiritbox man. This was such an amazing interview
17:34 mike stringer becones batman for a moment
It's the boizzzzzzzzzzz
Great interview Nik. Spiritbox are a great rare example of a modern-ish metal band that is able to combine traditional metal sensibilities with modern pop sensibilities. Metal as a community is incredibly rigid and resistant to change. Therefore, Spiritbox creating music that challenges the confines of metal listeners is both timely and relevant. For a genre of music to survive, you need innovation and you need bands like Spiritbox which serve as a gateway for casual young listeners who may not be receptive to metal otherwise. Bands like Linkin Park, Stone Sour, Korn, Slipknot and Spiritbox are the lifeblood of the metal genre by inviting legions of newer and younger fans to replenish the genre and ensure it’s long term viability.
As much as I love Slayer and cannibal corpse and Obituary, we do need gateway bands like Spiritbox to introduce metal to casual listeners in a palatable way. No one gets into Behemoth as a first pass metal band, they need something more melodic to first lure them in and then allow them to go on the journey of discovering the heavier stuff.
Mike is such a chill dude.
"well this is fucked -- Upload."
Holy man. But also, that video is fantastic.
Was great listening to you guys talk, been a fan of them since 2018-19, very much still am and wish the band all the best
Let’s goooooo I love Mike and Spiritbox ❤️🥲
Incredibly good interview, awesome to see Mike's perspectives
Little did Nik know he would have his own musical partner and be living a lot of what Mike's talking about here.
I saw perennial pop up on some random Spotify playlist in like 2018 so glad the algorithm did that. They now are my favorite band.
5:30 what a coincidence, I’ve heard them 2000-3000 times too
4:07 Periphery reference
I got to know Spiritbox from Nik's reaction to Blessed Be 😍
Excellent interview. Great attitude. Very grounded.
I met Mike an Courtney working on a festival at Mexico City, and they are incredibly cool and humble people, it was an amazing experience, I am a total fan of the band and getting to know them just completed the experience to me, because I found out they are not only great musicians, they are great quality people as well
I love that Mike used Chili's as the getaway fantasy from Joshua Tree 😂 I do love their Texas cheese fries! Haven't been to Chili's since pre covid 😭
17:17 This sounds like, this sounds like Rob Zombie, dude. Mike is the funniest person ever.
This was AMAZING! THANK YOU!
Wohuuu. You guys are amazing 🤘🏻
Nice periphery reference
Holy Roller was written in 2 hours! WOW
Mike is such a nice dude & him mocking music elitists cracks me up☠️😭🤣
Sean Evans from Hot Ones is an aspiration. I have faith in ye Nik 🔥
such a nice dude
“WELL this is fucked..” *Upload
let's goooooo
I literally discovered spiritbox yesterday
Nocturnal Records does look and sound cool tho 👀
love how mikes voice is almost less deep than courtneys
I thought the same lol
Which music video are they talking about where they got interrupted by the owner and police?
Belcarra
@@primebreaker6628 Much obliged!
Yo! Anyone see that young girl belt out Holy Roller on america or uk Got Talent
Heeeeeeey
LOL!! This fucked... upload!
I love Spiritbox and I respect their willingness to try and expand their sound but everything I've heard and read from this band recently seems to be preparing the fans for another major shift in sound and Idk if you can go much further than they did on "Eternal Blue" without alienating their core fanbase. Again, tons of respect for their willingness to take the risk and the talent to make it happen but fans arent obligated to like your new shit just cause you made it. Basically I really hope they don't pull a butt rock or go full pop mainstream. Also kinda sucks that they were like "no one cared at first" when there was a die hard group of us buying all their merch, joining their patreon, and evangelizing everything they did to the point where they got the attention they have now. All this to say I hope they dont lose what made them special
So, what do you think now that they released Rotoscope, Sew Me Up and Hysteria??? Because I love them honestly.
I think it’s important for a band to follow their hearts creatively over all else! And I think when they say no one cared they were referring to the relative difference in fanbase in their very early days. I’m sure they’re very grateful for the people who heard them early.
They've already significantly dumbed down their sound in Eternal Blue tbh, with the exception of 2-3 songs the EP remains their best music for now imo
What about their new music now? I dig it and I saw them in Denver this month and where they are I believe it is only going to get better.

COURTNEY IS MY CRUSH RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
What up Mike! When are you gonna unblock me on the Spiritbox insta? 😂😂
Imagine
question is....why did you get blocked in the first place?
@@DarkDisc1 I put "Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry." Under a post that was just a pic of Courtney. I thought he would get the meme but he certainly didn't 😂
@@scottthebot2779 yea....I don't think you're being unblocked anytime soon. I know I'd do the same if someone was saying that to my wife
@@DarkDisc1 facts.
