The first show my crappy high school band played was a Battle of the Bands at a tiny local venue that Ice Nine Kills won. Crazy to see how successful they've become.
crappy highschool bands were fun, though! i miss playing in all those crappy bands i played in from middle-school thru college. it always felt great seeing a pit open up at a show. even if only 50 people were there lol
This might be one of my favorite interviews you’ve done. Ricky from Ice Nine Kills is our band’s producer and has been for years and the work ethic on ALL those guys is absolutely ridiculous. Glad they’re doing so well and getting to see my own producer open for Metallica was pretty fuckin weird in the best way haha
Every single intreview I've seen with Dan feels like a friend/ therapy talk and I say this in the most positive way. Dan is an criminally underrated guitarrist but he seems to be a awesome and curious person. I can proudly say that I can play assault and batteries and for some weird reason (that usually doesn't happen) I feel that this makes part of Dan's legacy... 😅
Dan is such an awesome guy, and an incredible guitar player. Loving this interview right out of the gate. When you start a convo with sharting, you have my FULL attention.❤️🤘🤣
Bro. I have autism. High functioning, but my brain works totally different from pretty much anyone I have known. When I hear both of you talk in this episode, I identify so much with how your brains work. It's refreshing. You two may not have a diagnosis (unless you do), but by not denying that you may have it/acknowledging you are different, you are empowering people to not dismiss finding out about themselves and discussing topics typical people won't talk about. Thanks for speaking truthfully! This was incredibly interesting and inspiring!
Great interview! Dan is an awesome dude, player and teacher. If you can, I can really recommend hitting him up for some lessons. It changed my way of approaching the guitar and skyrocketed my progress and every lesson is a blast, cheers dudes
fantastic conversation between two dudes who are out here killing it and who make having the tisms look pretty good. signed a lady who, in the eloquent words of Dan, says “samesies.”
It is so great to see Dan is doing way better. He is a young, nice man with his whole life ahead of him. It is terrible that cancer can even attack people at such young age.
Hopefully we'll get to see Dan play sometime in 2024! We were hoping to see him next month, but that's okay. I'm just glad he's doing well and will be back with INK soon. We've seen them four times in the last year and a half, all without Dan. (Chris, Doc, and Miles have done a great job filling in though!)
I am a huge Ice Nine Kills fan , getting to see them rhis year in Asheville was so amazing ,Both Doc and Miles killed it but , so glad Dan is coming back and hopefully i get to see INK again with him back . So stoked that he's doing well and, planning on getting a murder axe, in the near future cause ive been practicing how to do screams and ,vocals. I would love expand my what i can do by playing a instrument and have a even deeper understanding of music myself. I hope nothing but the best for Dan and INK cant wait to see what the future holds for this band !
Fantastic conversation sharts and all. Bravo Finn. You haven't lived till a ball of poop rolls down your leg out your pants or briefs and rolls away like a dead emotion
I had a thyroid storm. When I was diagnosed with my autoimmune disease I had the head of endocrine dpt. They wanted to go super radical but I negotiated with her and she said fine we’ll try your way first. It’s been almost 2 decades now of remission.
Hey Dan, do you remember Silenced Records in North Reading MA? I booked a show with you guys in high school when you were Ice Nine. Im Steve from the band Get a Job. I know you prob wont see this but itd be cool if you did!
Max Martin's favourite band being In Flames explains a lot (and why many metalheads like his music). He’s definitely not nt either, I doubt anyone doing what he does could be. Glad I found In Flames early in my musical journey. I hope there can be a genuine combining of the good parts of the soul of metal, and pop. Seems like there’s massively unrecognised potential. That happening could cause a paradigm shift in the metal world too. Most metal is ass, ngl. Properly popular metal songs have happened, but it requires chopping off the deadwood, which would be a breath of fresh air. Not all of metal would be best changing tho, but damn we need a healthy kick up the ass in the metal world.
I'd like to add some nuance to the authentic self discussion. It's complicated, I think there's definitely "authentic selves" that have to change like if you're an overweight, unpleasant, verbally abusive liar, that makes impossible for people to connect with you.(Unless you don't care about others) But then there's ones that dont really need a lot of changing to accept. Like, obviously you still have to put on a uniform for work and stuff but that's what everyone does from NT's to ND's so it's not a hard concept to swallow. What does bother me is the idea of masking and still feeling unsatisfied when you put on character for others. That people like an idea of you and not *you* and the moment they find out that idea was fake they discard you. This happened to me very recently in fact. All the effort I put into a character was broken and I was left with nothing. Honestly, in a world that's so self serving and cynical why the fuck would I let those types of people control my personality? I'm not an idiot, it pays to be pragmatic at times but when push comes to shove on more personal things I'd rather be authentic and find like minded people to socialize with. It's true that sometimes you need to hide yourself, but other times that leaves you vulnerable to being manipulated by others and they'll take control of your life to the point you'll forget about yourself and what YOU need.
Awee. Sweet lad. When something like that happens it’s easier to focus on “oh my band is going to tour, how do I fix THIS.” Whereas his friends and band mates are like “dude- we want you alive, don’t worry about this nonsense!” 😹🤌🏻

Was this back when they were Ice Nine and played pop punk/ska punk
Dan's the man. Forever grateful for the opportunity and the trust!

This.
Great interview! Dan is an awesome dude, player and teacher. If you can, I can really recommend hitting him up for some lessons. It changed my way of approaching the guitar and skyrocketed my progress and every lesson is a blast, cheers dudes
Hell yeah. Fantastic video! Dan taught me guitar lessons back from like 2018 to like 2020. Hes such a super humble dude and such a homie!
fantastic conversation between two dudes who are out here killing it and who make having the tisms look pretty good.

this might be the best episode yet, would love another podcast with the two of you
Thank you!
So glad he’s coming back in 2024. I hope to be able to see the band on tour next year just to get to see him shred.
This dude is great, don’t really listen to ice nine but I’ll start now, glad this guys ok
I am a huge Ice Nine Kills fan , getting to see them rhis year in Asheville was so amazing ,Both Doc and Miles killed it but , so glad Dan is coming back and hopefully i get to see INK again with him back .
So stoked that he's doing well and, planning on getting a murder axe, in the near future cause ive been practicing how to do screams and ,vocals. I would love expand my what i can do by playing a instrument and have a even deeper understanding of music myself.
I hope nothing but the best for Dan and INK cant wait to see what the future holds for this band !
Love the synergy between these 2
Agreed! I feel like I could join this conversation & feel right at home.
I feel like Dan would be such a great therapist lmaoooo.
best intro ever. i love Dan. such a cool dude. thanks for another great podcast, Finn! 😎
The coolest guy you’ve ever had on. Great episode
I loved this conversation it was so insightful, and I now realize I have autism. Thanks guys! 😅 #PopIsMetal #MetalIsPop
Great shout out to Miles!
Fantastic conversation sharts and all. Bravo Finn. You haven't lived till a ball of poop rolls down your leg out your pants or briefs and rolls away like a dead emotion
This was amazing. It is what it isnt. You both need to start a podcast and help people expand their minds intellectually!
Good interview
I had a thyroid storm. When I was diagnosed with my autoimmune disease I had the head of endocrine dpt. They wanted to go super radical but I negotiated with her and she said fine we’ll try your way first. It’s been almost 2 decades now of remission.
Great interview!! Dan is awesome
Very smart dude
Haven't seen ace ventura 😮that's cool just surprising😂 it's really great to see Dan back 🤘🏻
Super Strong Episode. Love it.
Hey Dan, do you remember Silenced Records in North Reading MA? I booked a show with you guys in high school when you were Ice Nine. Im Steve from the band Get a Job. I know you prob wont see this but itd be cool if you did!
Say what you want about INK and As Blood Runs Black, but Dan is the nicest dude in the world
I love Nine Inch Nails!
I recall Ace Ventura 2 when nature calls being funnier
And I quote here, "one of his relatives was in a Friday the 13th movie"
I discovered Riff Raff thanks to this podcast. I should be deep diving Ice Nine Kills but nope. Watching insane interviews and songs about trucks. 😅
SOMEONE IS KNOCKING
Phenomenal band that is so much more than a "gimmick".

Imagine if this actually wasnt the first time someone sharted themselves during a PRMBA podcast interview.

There’s a podcast where violent j and Neil deGrasse Tyson were guests. Neil explained magnets

Mask so you can accumulate enough money that you no longer need to mask.
Ah, a weed prophet.
