As a Mushroomhead fan but not one who is religious, I see he's genuinely moved by his new found faith. I don't care what keeps him grounded and happy, I just enjoy seeing Jeff open new fulfilling chapters in his life and hope he continues to find peace.
Jeff was my favorite singer from Mushroomhead and its hard to believe they exist without him!But it doesn't matter if he's with them or not,he is one of the best human beings out there and I happy for him!
@@willywonka4975 a band called Fear of Sound. We were just a local band. We played with MH in Edgerton Wisconsin. Can't remember the name of the venue.
Jeffrey Nothing has a powerful voice...seeing him being humbled by the spirit is something special. It took a lot to get up and talk about something that too many shy away from. It is inspiring.
As an atheist, I can’t pretend to personally identify with the sentiment of faith in this video, but I am happy that Jeff has found his happiness. He is a great artist and seems like a great human being.
Freind do you realize you watch videos like this for a reason? ....Because the bible says we are so desperately wicked to the core not having any good whatsoever. Because sin has made us spiritually dead and no man of his own free will is going to look for GOD. GOD said it is impossible for our wicked nature to know any righteousness. JESUS said we are at enmity against HIM. So what makes the difference in a saved person's life that he knows GOD and has a desire for heavenly things when GOD said of ourselves this is impossible. Its oh so simple but AMAZING, because of the unmerited GRACE of A HOLY GOD. The reason anybody, that truly loves GOD, is because THE HOLY SPIRIT is dealing with you and HE draws you to come to JESUS for the washing and cleansing of your sins which you will become aware of because the ALMIGHTY GOD is working in you and HE WILL FINISH IT. HE will not start a work in you then leave it all up to a spiritually dead sinner to do the rest. If GOD starts a work in a person its because JESUS died for their sins and HE will draw them to. HIM and REDEEM them because JESUS said He will save ALL that the FATHER gave HIM and none shall be plucked from HIS HAND. So why is an atheist bothering with watching videos like this when GOD plainly says all through the new testament that man is spiritually dead, dead, dead. Same with physically dead. You can hollar and talk with a physically dead person to just believe and get up and walk. How can they their dead? It would take a supernatural act for them to hear and get up and live. Its totally the same with spiritually dead people. It takes a supernatural act from GOD to do that. So I pray the LORD might use something that a Christian has said or many ways GOD has used to work through whatever it might be to save your soul. Because every true Christian thought the same way you do and that includes me. I was brought up in church and I hated it with all my being. I mean from a very young age. But freind if GOD starts working on your soul you will know it because it is inescapable and its GOD that will open your eyes and HE takes care of every single bit of it and HE will make you totally see and understand and enlighten you that HE PURCHASED you and you will see everything through totally different lenses. Then like all Christians do. You will be like AMAZING GRACE that GOD saved me from my sins which were making you run full blast to an ETERNITY in hell. That's when a born again Christian says oh my it is amazing that GOD saved me from a terrible ,horrible nightmare of the damning sin I never knew I had and would have died in them to the horrific reality of the torments of hell and would have been going there all alone but GOD saved me, the wretched sinful GODLESS heathen I was and deserved ETERNAL punishment. if not for JESUS CHRIST loving me. AMAZING GRACE. THE LORD may already be working with you. Because atheist dont want nothing to do with ALL THAT BIBLE, GOD WORSHIPPING CRAP. ALL of mankind is that way. Nobody wants GOD because our nature is wicked and we dont have one bit of good in us that can please A HOLY ,RIGHTEOUS GOD. So I do so hope GOD opens your eye's freind. ♥️🙏
I had no idea man. I’m just a metalhead who’s been listening to bands like this for well over 20 years. I also became a Christian around 10 years ago. I had no idea you were in the faith too, praise God man!
@@kriggy11490 Oh definitely. I already have much of their music. I can also recommend these bands: Corpus Christi Antestor Admonish Anima Mortuum Crimson Moonlight Living Sacrifice Renascent Alethian Becoming the Archetype Horde Broken Flesh Destroy the Runner Inhale Exhale Haste the Day Oh Sleeper Lastwatch Scars of Tomorrow War of Ages... Check out some of these, lots of good music in there.
Well yeah I was wondering if that was a genetic thing or is he just really nervous? And it's true,, this is in his most vulnerable state. Raw and scary
@@andrewpjames4533 yes it is genetic, I had Convulsive disorder from 6th grade until I was 23 and I am just shy, I chose to not let that stop me from performing. Speech class was never my favorite and I skipped it and took acting. Singing and public speaking are different. Officiating weddings is easier than the 1st time sharing my testimony was but. Podiums help. Thanks.
@@JeffreyNOTHINGOfficial I bet podiums help. I feel ya on being shy. My solution was drugs and alcohol. Boy did that backfire. But, thank for your testimony. I never really listened to mushroomhead. I was more hardcore/punk rock. Regardless, it's weird because I've been struggling with my spirituality. I backed off from Christianity hard in the last 5 months. I say I stopped believing in anything. Long story short I am lost without guidance from a divine presence. I've decided to build a relationship with the lord again. So this video came out of nowhere but I can't help but wonder was the lord dropping hints? I'm grateful for you and your strength. Thank you.
Started listening to your music when I was 14 and you guys were a big influence for myself. Being raised a Christian myself this feels amazing to see you giving this testimony. God Bless brother.
I have to say, I've been a fan of Mushroomhead for almost 20 years, and I always loved Jeff's singing voice as his is so unique in this day in age where everyone sounds about the same. I'm also a Christ-follower, and this moved me to tears. I'm so happy to have another sheep in the fold, and what a powerful story. God uses all! God bless you and your family and church!
When you know the context of all of his lyrics within Mushroomhead, this video is that much more powerful. God bless ya brother. MSH isn’t the same without you but I’m glad you found your way. God is good.
As a lifelong mushroomhead fan who also happens to be a Christian I knew he was deeper than most. He is a thinker. A true believer in his convictions. He is a beautiful soul. I AM HERE! I LOVE YOU BROTHER. You have been an inspiration in my life as you made me question what I was fed. Telling people you are a Christian and mushroomhead is your favorite band was a bad thing. Jeff is deeper than he knew. He asked questions i had and allowed me to search for my own answers. JEFFERY! You are enough. You have a beautiful soul. I love you Jeff Hatrix. Thank you for all of the beauty you have brought to my life. Again I love you my brother in God!
I heard she was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and I hope she made it through that ok. Trying to check on that now, but I can't find any more info unfortunately
Praise Jesus! This was the best news I've heard in a long time. As a long time fan, and a Christ follower for 23 years, I was literally brought to tears by this. Knowing that one of my favorite musicians is now a brother in Christ truly made my night. I may not get to congratulate him in person, but praise God one day I'll get to see him in glory. Congratulations, Jeffrey! I'm so happy to know you're now part of the family. God bless you, brother!
I remember the first time I heard Solitaire Unraveling on MTV3, and this dude's voice, made me feel something. It's really great to hear his story and hear that he's loved and found happiness. That first time hearing that song was a huge moment for me, and while it might have just been a record that performed well for a hard rock/heavy metal act at the time, it meant a lot to me as a 11 year old kid. Thanks Jeff. Best wishes.
Their first album got me through my divorce years ago. Now I get to see him as a brother in God's eyes which makes it all the more special. Thanks jeff.
@@michaelgustin9373 It's sad that people always want a twist words to mean something negative so they can have something to put others down. I hope you find peace.
Long time metalhead. Been in the Mushroomhead pit. Been through it with the drugs/alcohol. Rejected by my family church. Went into a bad place spiritually. Saved in jail during a 30 day stretch. I'm just happy to see so many of the "hopeless" metalheads that welcomed me into their scene now welcome me into their churches after so many years. The metal scene is an awesome community of people who know intimately the pain of life and the importance of picking a brother up when they get knocked down. Maybe eventually church music will evolve into something I can jam to.
Lots of good Christian metal these days. August Burns Red, Norma Jean, The Chariot, Fit for a King, For Today, Wage War and Screaming Giant are a good place to start. Hope you find something you like. I’m really loving Fit for a King “God of Fire” right now, probably one of the most brutal Christian metal songs I’ve ever heard. Stay strong brother these days are going to get tougher
I been a mushroomhead fan ever since I was 8 and I'm 24 now. I understood why he left the band and i couldn't be mad at him for it. I still listen to all of their music his legacy that he left behind is still a masterpiece. I'm glad he found the light and faith in his life. I'm still trying to find my way. It's good see him smile at the end, pretty heart warming to see the person I idolized for almost my entire life feel good about finding faith
Mushroomhead got me through high school. It gave us something to really look forward to every weekend. Same show every Friday and Saturday and we went religiously. I was front and center every show. When ever someone fell on the ground, EVERYONE helped that person back up on their feet. I’ve never seen such camaraderie at a hardcore show. We were all a family and I loved it. I’ll never forget those days Jeff, thank you so very much for all of your efforts. You guys changed my life and I am forever blessed to witness all that was MUSH ROOM HEAD!
This actually makes a lot of sense, because if you go back to the early Mushroomhead albums, a lot of his lyrics seem to be written from the perspective of someone struggling to find faith and meaning. It was like he was seeking wisdom and enlightenment, but found *nothing.* Songs like: "Conflict - The Argument Goes On" "43" "Mother Machine Gun" "The New Cult King" "Indifferent" "Born of Desire" and "Bwomp" tend to come to mind. I still listen to and love those early albums.
@@Noobmaster-zo9nv I read about and watched the film Closet Land which the dialogue sample from the end of the song is about. It's sung from the perspective of the woman in the film who may have been abused by her mother. Either J-Mann or Jeff added the sexual abuse angle because apparently one of them was sexually assaulted, but I can't remember who. They sample a couple of quotes from the movie. It's a really twisted one.
For a guy that has been performing in front of thousands of fans for over three decades, he sure seems nervous here. It’s much harder to talk about your inner, intimate emotions. He gets pretty emotional at times here. I’m happy he found something he’s passionate about, and that brings him peace.
Jim Morrison was like that. I remember reading an interview where he said he would get so nervous before shows that he would have to smoke weed and drink so that he could get past the feeling other wise he would lock up and not be able to perform.
This is crazy he's one of my favorite vocalists of all time he's an amazing musician and I'm glad he found christ I just hope he dosent think that means he has to quit music
Wow, I needed to see this right now. Jeff I've met you many times in Dallas and always prayed for you guys . Sounds crazy to some people maybe, but God has been working on us all. And today has been very difficult for me until I heard your testimony. God bless you and I love you brother.
You've been one of my role models since I was an angst-filled teenager. To know you found an answer gives me hope that I'll find my path. Thank you for letting me follow you on your journey.
Wow this is amazing, I never thought I would see anyone from Mushroomhead come to the faith let alone Jeff after knowing the lyrics. Been listening to them since I was 10. This brings me so much joy to hear this! So awesome!!
Out of all the members of Mushroomhead I never thought I'd see Nothing be giving his testimony about his love for Jesus. This is amazing. Jesus knows no bounds.
Mushroom Head😂 well I that kinda explains it, sorta of😣 I say,,, stick with reality, as hard as it may be, REALITY! Prove the supernatural, then I and anyone liKE me shall listen, otherwise, ITS ALL IN YOUR FUCKING HEAD😂 Good for you bro, you played in bands, but because of this your IMAGINARY friend somehow made a difference. You have issues and you found a outlet to explain such. This whole entire speech seems weak and you are not so sure, keep trucking on. I don’t understand some how a Judaism/ Christianity god makes sense to you, but shit and shineola PLEASE JUST DONT HATE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF DIFFERENCES🤙
Unreal. I’ve been a metal fan all my life, because of the hardships I’ve been through. This is powerful. I’m so beyond happy for him. Jeffrey Nothing is no longer nothing. He’s found everything. Amazing.
Fantastic testimony and all the best to him, his family and church family! I myself was brought up in the church, grew up with Christian punk and heavy metal but, as a teen turned away. I was actually a fan of Mushroomhead then and later on met some fantastic brothers and sisters in Christ who were metal heads at a festival in Europe. I got back on track ( was in a death metal band, black metal band, and industrial band during a ten year period) and shaped up my walk with the Lord. Music is a great tool for worship and I am glad there are some fantastic bands in the Christian underground scenes. I am glad to see Jeff (met him with Mushroomhead in 2015 in Destin Florida when I was stationed down there) at a great church home and hope his testimony turns many to the Lord! God bless you all!
Best news I've heard today!! Love meeting a brother that is growing in his faith. I listened to mushroomhead many times in my youth and your voice is what intrigued me. I am praying now for a continued growing in Christ for you, myself and everyone that sees this. Love the feeling I here in your voice! Godspeed my good man!
@@eatofthedead666 What sucks for him? That he found Jesus and got saved and will be going to heaven and not to hell? Yeah, not being tormented for all eternity does suck.
I was sad that he left the band, I actually saw him at his last show. Now I’m happy that I know this is why! Amazing praise God and good for you Jeffrey!!!!!!
When I first watched this a year ago, I cringed and felt "why did Jeff go from such a cool singer to this weeping Jesus devotee" (and probably felt harsher about it than that) but now I find myself looking at this as beautiful, and healing, and necessary. I don't know what God is or what it means, but I started praying this year while Ive been suffering greatly. I was kicked out of my home from drug use, lost someone very special to me and our world together because of it, and spiralled further into self-destruction. Im not in the clear yet, Im figuring it out, but there is something powerful here in choosing the path of light and knowing you can find peace in that way of being. I don't know who or what I am anymore. It's confusing but I grew up listening to Mushroomhead and 20 years later I still do every day, and there's power to this man's journey.
I've been a mushroomhead fan for years and wondered why he left seeing this I understand. I grew up in church and from being bullied to having health issues I hated everyone and turned away from God. I felt I had been cursed and blamed him, inside I was a storm raging with hatred for everyone. I had friends but my rage and desire to walk this earth alone cursing never went away. Till I met my wife, she walked into a band practice and for the first time in my life I didn't feel hate. There was something different about her, we started hanging out and over the years went from friends, to dating, to married. She was raised in church as well but a different denomination but I like to experience all different denominations. She has made me a better man and a better Christian without her who knows where I would be. Probably alone and hating life and myself or even dead. Glad you are doing good keep up the good work and may God continue to bless you!
Unfortunately there are Christian kids everywhere that are blessed with a lot and don't realize it. They think they're better than others and their parents are to blame for the way they act. I went to a Christian summer camp when I was 15. Kids made fun of me because I was from the local town that the camp was near. I guess that made me some backwoods hick in their eyes. They also chastised me because I got sponsored to go there by a local business and their parents paid all sorts of money for them to be there. I think a lot of us that lost faith have had some bad experience with so called Christian kids and it left a bad taste in our mouths. It's all good though. We're back on track and that's all that counts. We just need to make sure we teach our kids well.
I grew up listening to Mushroomhead. I've been a huge fan of theirs. I still listen. Its not the same without Jeff in the band though. To see this testimony was not something I expected but it was deeply moving. It made me tear up. I was glad to hear this. I grew up in the church. At one point in life it was 5 days a week. It was to much. I struggle with religion but after hearing this it gives me new hope. Thank you Jeff for this testimonial.
Glory to God!!!! Jeffrey I am so proud of you bro. Keep on Seeking the Kingdom and you will truly find salvation and freedom. I met my wife at a mushroomhead concert and I since have given my life to Christ. You are a true example of how God is so much bigger then our circumstances...so proud of you brother!!!!
God Bless You Jeffery. You've been a legend since the beginning and the lyrics to your songs have been inspirational for me the through the years. Stay strong and live long.
I was one of those kids u played baseball with till the sun went down. Best of Success and prayers Jeff. Seen you many times live and this is the first time I have ever seen you vulnerable and our Creator is blessing you.
If it wasn't for your music I wouldn't be here today, I love you brutha, after that testimony I realize even more why your music has such a deep connection with my soul for over 20 years.. PS. Without Jeff, there is no mushroomhead..
This is great news. Good for Jeff and God Bless him and his family! I have met Jeff a long time ago, he came to visit me in the Hospital with a couple of other band members at one of the lowest points of my life. He was very gracious, warm, and caring. He is a good man and I will be forever thankful for what he did for me!
I been listening to him in Mushroomhead for YEARS. Knowing that one of my favorite singers in the whole world found Jesus and is walking with God brings a huge huge smile to my face. My respect for this man has grown even more because he found the happiness and peace he wanted and needed. I supported Jeff before and I will still support him. God bless you Jeff!!!!
I remember going to my first Mushroomhead show in Allentown PA. It was around 2008 or 2009. I was in make-up with my friend. I was at the merch area and while standing there I saw Jeff. He was just standing against the wall watching everyone. No make-up, just watching the crowd. Nobody recognized him. You were so cool and I got a picture with him. I asked him what was up and he said the sky. It was a fun moment I’ve always remembered. I’m so glad you found your happiness Jeff. Stay strong and thank you.
Jeff is a real man. God bless you both! 🙏 It's never easy to turn your life over to Christ. I think he is braver than most, and really enjoyed hearing his testimony. Thank you Jeffrey!
Jeff, I have been listening to mushroom head since 2000 when I was 15 now I'm 37. Last year I started going to chruch and my life has been way worse, but I like to quote you by saying "you don't know peace til you know suffering." I will stick with God to get me through the Storm. Just wanted to say thank you.
Mushroomhead is my favorite band and today I wasn’t feeling well and started looking up their music videos again to cheer me up and ran into this on my playlist. I needed to hear this! Thank you!
I have Mushroomheads logo tattooed on me. Jeff is a unique spirit and has a unique voice. Respect to you for finding your way to healing and happiness. The path you take is your own and you are owning it. #respect
Jeff, we really miss hearing that phenomenal voice behind a mic, but after hearing this I completely understand. As what I consider to be a decent person, I'm very happy that you found your peace. Good luck to you and your family.
Man Jeffrey you have brought so much joy to my life. I lost my crap when I first heard xiii. It changed my whole life. I love you man.. You rock. Still bro.
Jeff, thank you so much for your courage sharing this with everyone. I’m glad you have found your faith again, I myself struggle to find it again…seeing you share your experience, giving your trust up to faith gives ME faith that it will happen for me too. Thank you.
I've listened to Shroom for most of my life, starting back with XX. I've had the pleasure of meeting Jeff at a show, and he was just the coolest person. I'm forever grateful for that opportunity, and eternally happy for the man, glad to see he's found happiness at last.
This was amazing Jeff. I have counted you guys in MushroomHead as friends in one of the greatest under rated bands. I got to hang out with you all one night in Grand Rapids after a show and although I doubt any of you remember me, I will never forget how real and normal you all were. I asked a friend after sitting around in a small room with a bunch of who I though we're other fans, "Where's the guys from the band?" I had never seen you all out of costume. He started pointing you all out while telling me each of your names. I was shocked and responded with something like, "These are the guys that looked like serial killers on stage, but these look like they could be any of our normal nerdy friends. So, what, are all rock stars really just band geeks dressed up to look cool." LoL I never saw any famous musicians the same after that. I am happy for you to have received a calling or invite to the side with the only lifeboat off this sinking ship. I have a similar story as far as the part about mom taking us to church until we quit when I was 12. From 12 to 21 I was as close to atheist as agnostic could get . Then one day driving home from work, as a Marilyn Manson freak. My fingernails filed to claws, and painted black. I got a message delivered audibly from something that I felt physically grab my shoulder from an empty passenger seat. It said, "We got plans for you and you are f**kin up. A war is coming and you are important." Long story short I argued and demanded proof of existence and I'd fight on His side. They provided it and I commenced my training and preparation for the invisible spiritual war. For those with eyes that can see it has clearly made it's self more visible in the past several years. Lines were drawn and the chaff has been bundled into small groups each individual identifies as. Along my path I have stumbled many times and still do often. I know I am a long shot from perfect and fall far short of the grace of God or deserving of it. I often say, "Nobody's perfect. There was one once a long time ago, but we crucified him for it." I know that if we all get to celebrate together in paradise with those that have graduated before us, from this short education before an eternity in service to the King of kings... If we... or I anyway since I can only speak for myself. If I make it to the big after-party, it's only thanks to His supremely super-human level of forgiveness and patience. I have said that though this place can be really shitty at times. If I get to tell Him what I think when I'm done, all I can say is, "Thanks". That said I just wanted to thank you and your wife. I hope you are both well and enjoying God's blessings. P.S. my atheist metal friends always argued with me when I said MushroomHead almost seemed like a undercover Christian band. This is going to blow their mislead minds. 🤯 I Love it. ua-cam.com/video/1oi_dwoBXgk/v-deo.html
Everyone has their own personal relationship with Jesus, and only they can answer for themselved. But God is merciful, He longs to forgive and embrace even the worst of us, we are all sinners in dire need of His grace. And it blows me out the window that this man- THE FORMER FRONTMAN OF MUSHROOMHEAD!!- let God touch his heart, and God blessed him with a wonderful wifey.
They are both sweethearts, and I’m glad to see Jeffrey nothing go to a different chapter in his life. That’s actually can be a brighter light in his life.
This band has helped me through so much over the last 20 something years ive listened to them.i have em tattooed on me as well as seen them 13 times,hung out with all them few diff times.Jus wanted to say Thank you for getting me through a tough point in my life.MRH For Life!
Mushroomhead has been a extremely important part of my life and my children's lives. I am moved to see you so vulnerable yet so brave to tell your story and pronounce your faith. Us metal friends remain by your side!
I am glad Jeff is finding peace. Being in a position that was realistically torture. Staying as long as you did, for us. I thank you. I am eager to watch what you do next. You got this.
I was 15 when I picked up my first copy of a Mushroomhead album at a local store called The Great Escape. It was the XX album. I'm 31 now and I've been a big fan ever since. While I'm still a fan today, I have to admit, it's really weird not hearing your voice on their tracks. I hope to hear more from you in the future. Stay strong, Jeff!
I saw Mushroomed at Mayhem festival 2014. I'm a Christian Metalhead. Personally I feel it's awesome to see Metal artists being saved. I hope he gets back into the music in the future and doesn't just end it. Take a break for now, then maybe get back into it and spread a message on the road with double bass and ripping vocals dude! Great video.
This breaks my heart to hear how your view of your time with Mushroomhead. I loved eveytime and every venue hearing you belt out my favorite songs. To know you were in agony. So an ex went to one of your shows in downtown Chicago. He said he saw you just standing by bar. So he had to go up to you. We loved Mushroomhead I have logo tattoo on my neck. He still to this day felt bad because after he recognized you. Others started to swam you. You gave us a gift with the music you brought to our ears and hearts. I hope you are now truly happy and hear you on a stage whenever you're ready. I enjoyed listening to you just speak. Jeffrey Nothing a truly beautiful soul
Your music has helped me get thru this brutal life. Without hatrix and mushroomhead I know I wouldn't be here alive today. Im glad u found something to call yours. Your music has always been there for me and for that I support u in anything u do. Religion is not in my book but metal always will be. Love you Jeffery and thank you for everything. 💙🤘
Jeffrey Nothing, no longer "Nothing". You are a man of faith and loved by all the right things. Your Stronger now and forever. Go with faith Jeffery "Everything".
Jeff, life always places us where we need to be. When you were in MUSHROOMHEAD, you saved and helped me move all sorts of mountains and your music still does today.
God bless you sir, because of watching this I will be finding a church for myself and family. I haven't been in a church for other than funerals or weddings in years. Your testimony has changed my ideals about God and life in general. I've been a fan and had shared in shots of jager with you in st.petersburg FL on a few occasions and you were always accommodating. Thank you for being genuine and human, because to fans we think sometimes you aren't just human beings with feelings and needs also,God Bless you and you're family.
Mike, I go to an awesome church in St. Pete called Calvary Chapel Fellowship, or CCFSP. I’ve also been punk and metal all my life. This is one of the only churches I’ve ever found to be “real” and Biblical, as well as relaxed on people’s styles. I’m glad this vid popped up in my feed. God bless Jeff and his wife, I needed to hear this today.
@@samhill3136 IF you think your church is the only one real in the Bay Area you've obviously never went to THE REFUGE in St. Pete or a Billy Burke meeting or Mountaintop International or the many real churches in the Tampa Bay area. Really crude to hype your church when Jesus is found everywhere.
Sometimes it can take time to find the right church. I asked my Dad why after some time that we would leave one church for another, and he explained to me that the reason we left any of those churches for another is because he didn't feel the presence of God in that church any longer. It has taken a while for me to comprehend this to the full extent, but what I am trying to tell you, is seek Him with all your faith, and he will lead you to the right place. God Bless.
It's good to see that you're truly happy Jeff! I've been to so many Mushroomhead shows growing up, and although everyone in the band treated me great, you always stood out the most to me. Both as a person and as a part of your band. I was a pretty shy kid but you always made me feel welcome to just hang out back stage with y'all and always took time out of your busy schedule to talk to me and other fans. You and your voice are iconic, and your music, just like countless others, has helped me throughout my life. Personally, I am agnostic, but that doesn't matter. Hearing your story was both moving and inspiring, and I can relate in many ways. Thank you for everything and for still putting a smile on my face after all these years. 🤘 Oh and MH isn't MH without you. You are what made them truly stand out. It's really saddening that they didn't appreciate you like they should have and treated you the way they did. Us fans appreciate you though, with or without MH. 🤘
I saw this man on stage a long time ago, it was an awesome experience. He gave me a fist bump in Springfield Mo. I found Jesus and Im so happy he did too. I have a massive amount of respect for him. My younger years would not have been the same without the music he made. Thank you Jeff. God bless.
I have been a fan of Mushroomhead since I first saw them July 1996. Jeff has always been my favorite member. I was lucky enough to meet Jeff, well outside of a show, in 2008 when I drove up from Columbus to have him tattoo me. It is one of my most cherished moments. I'm so glad I found this video. I had no idea of the pain he has been through. I wish him all the best and so glad he has found happiness after years of torment. Thank.you Jeff for all you have given me and other fans.
Yes I've always had respect for Jeff he made Mushroomhead Mushroomhead that's why I got into their music because of him but I'm so glad that he gave his life to Jesus Christ of Nazareth!!!
I spent years as a "hired gun" or a musician for hire. A couple of years ago I was fronting a metal band touring the Midwest hitting festivals and small venues opening for major acts and promoting our upcoming album. I met Jeff and his wife at a show in Iola Kansas and they both were so down to earth and so encouraging. Its great to hear him speak on his life and journey.
As a Mushroomhead fan but not one who is religious, I see he's genuinely moved by his new found faith. I don't care what keeps him grounded and happy, I just enjoy seeing Jeff open new fulfilling chapters in his life and hope he continues to find peace.
If religion makes you a good person. Then by all means.
I agree. As long as your path is fulfilling and makes you happy. Live your life as you see fit. I'm happy for him.
As long as he isn’t grooming kids like most preachers or religious people then cool happy for the dude
Jeff was my favorite singer from Mushroomhead and its hard to believe they exist without him!But it doesn't matter if he's with them or not,he is one of the best human beings out there and I happy for him!
it has gone down without him.
I played a show with Mushroom Head years and years ago. I'm so glad that he's found something that has brought him peace and happiness!
@@willywonka4975 a band called Fear of Sound. We were just a local band. We played with MH in Edgerton Wisconsin. Can't remember the name of the venue.
@@jdjsidjdi Did you play at the Big Apple? My mom used to live in Edgerton.
This mans stage presence was epic for so many years. To see him truly vulnerable on a stage, really shows who he is. Awesome testimony.
Jeff is truly a kind hearted soul. Amen Jeffrey!
Jeffrey Nothing has a powerful voice...seeing him being humbled by the spirit is something special. It took a lot to get up and talk about something that too many shy away from. It is inspiring.
Amen I see that too.. I hear the Humility of his history in growing up. I was listening to them earlier and I can tell through lyrics of his heart.
As an atheist, I can’t pretend to personally identify with the sentiment of faith in this video, but I am happy that Jeff has found his happiness. He is a great artist and seems like a great human being.
Same here.
I hope you find your way brother.
@@randomanun4278 Thanks! I have thus far. Wish you the best as well.
Freind do you realize you watch videos like this for a reason? ....Because the bible says we are so desperately wicked to the core not having any good whatsoever. Because sin has made us spiritually dead and no man of his own free will is going to look for GOD. GOD said it is impossible for our wicked nature to know any righteousness. JESUS said we are at enmity against HIM. So what makes the difference in a saved person's life that he knows GOD and has a desire for heavenly things when GOD said of ourselves this is impossible. Its oh so simple but AMAZING, because of the unmerited GRACE of A HOLY GOD. The reason anybody, that truly loves GOD, is because THE HOLY SPIRIT is dealing with you and HE draws you to come to JESUS for the washing and cleansing of your sins which you will become aware of because the ALMIGHTY GOD is working in you and HE WILL FINISH IT. HE will not start a work in you then leave it all up to a spiritually dead sinner to do the rest. If GOD starts a work in a person its because JESUS died for their sins and HE will draw them to. HIM and REDEEM them because JESUS said He will save ALL that the FATHER gave HIM and none shall be plucked from HIS HAND. So why is an atheist bothering with watching videos like this when GOD plainly says all through the new testament that man is spiritually dead, dead, dead. Same with physically dead. You can hollar and talk with a physically dead person to just believe and get up and walk. How can they their dead? It would take a supernatural act for them to hear and get up and live. Its totally the same with spiritually dead people. It takes a supernatural act from GOD to do that. So I pray the LORD might use something that a Christian has said or many ways GOD has used to work through whatever it might be to save your soul. Because every true Christian thought the same way you do and that includes me. I was brought up in church and I hated it with all my being. I mean from a very young age. But freind if GOD starts working on your soul you will know it because it is inescapable and its GOD that will open your eyes and HE takes care of every single bit of it and HE will make you totally see and understand and enlighten you that HE PURCHASED you and you will see everything through totally different lenses. Then like all Christians do. You will be like AMAZING GRACE that GOD saved me from my sins which were making you run full blast to an ETERNITY in hell. That's when a born again Christian says oh my it is amazing that GOD saved me from a terrible ,horrible nightmare of the damning sin I never knew I had and would have died in them to the horrific reality of the torments of hell and would have been going there all alone but GOD saved me, the wretched sinful GODLESS heathen I was and deserved ETERNAL punishment. if not for JESUS CHRIST loving me. AMAZING GRACE. THE LORD may already be working with you. Because atheist dont want nothing to do with ALL THAT BIBLE, GOD WORSHIPPING CRAP. ALL of mankind is that way. Nobody wants GOD because our nature is wicked and we dont have one bit of good in us that can please A HOLY ,RIGHTEOUS GOD. So I do so hope GOD opens your eye's freind. ♥️🙏
@@cowboymouth6429 k, thx
I had no idea man. I’m just a metalhead who’s been listening to bands like this for well over 20 years. I also became a Christian around 10 years ago. I had no idea you were in the faith too, praise God man!
check out war of Ages, Impending Doom, Demonhunter, For Today, and Project 86 for amazing christian/ positive metal!
@@kriggy11490 Oh definitely. I already have much of their music. I can also recommend these bands:
Corpus Christi

Horde
Broken Flesh
Destroy the Runner
Inhale Exhale

Check out some of these, lots of good music in there.
AMEN
@@kriggy11490 Living Sacrifice and Zao were the faces of solid state records.
I'm sure these guys see things being in that dark industry. They was drove to christ. Praise God Jeff has changed his life around.
What's so amazing is that he's performed infront of massive crowds, but he's so nervous here.
He normally wears a mask on stage
This is the maximum vulnerability
Well yeah I was wondering if that was a genetic thing or is he just really nervous? And it's true,, this is in his most vulnerable state. Raw and scary
@@andrewpjames4533 yes it is genetic, I had Convulsive disorder from 6th grade until I was 23 and I am just shy, I chose to not let that stop me from performing. Speech class was never my favorite and I skipped it and took acting. Singing and public speaking are different. Officiating weddings is easier than the 1st time sharing my testimony was but. Podiums help. Thanks.
@@JeffreyNOTHINGOfficial I bet podiums help. I feel ya on being shy. My solution was drugs and alcohol. Boy did that backfire. But, thank for your testimony. I never really listened to mushroomhead. I was more hardcore/punk rock. Regardless, it's weird because I've been struggling with my spirituality. I backed off from Christianity hard in the last 5 months. I say I stopped believing in anything. Long story short I am lost without guidance from a divine presence. I've decided to build a relationship with the lord again. So this video came out of nowhere but I can't help but wonder was the lord dropping hints? I'm grateful for you and your strength. Thank you.
Started listening to your music when I was 14 and you guys were a big influence for myself. Being raised a Christian myself this feels amazing to see you giving this testimony. God Bless brother.
I have to say, I've been a fan of Mushroomhead for almost 20 years, and I always loved Jeff's singing voice as his is so unique in this day in age where everyone sounds about the same. I'm also a Christ-follower, and this moved me to tears. I'm so happy to have another sheep in the fold, and what a powerful story. God uses all! God bless you and your family and church!
When you know the context of all of his lyrics within Mushroomhead, this video is that much more powerful.
God bless ya brother. MSH isn’t the same without you but I’m glad you found your way. God is good.
As a lifelong mushroomhead fan who also happens to be a Christian I knew he was deeper than most. He is a thinker. A true believer in his convictions. He is a beautiful soul. I AM HERE! I LOVE YOU BROTHER. You have been an inspiration in my life as you made me question what I was fed. Telling people you are a Christian and mushroomhead is your favorite band was a bad thing. Jeff is deeper than he knew. He asked questions i had and allowed me to search for my own answers. JEFFERY! You are enough. You have a beautiful soul. I love you Jeff Hatrix. Thank you for all of the beauty you have brought to my life. Again I love you my brother in God!
he is not a thinker, he is a beliver, polar oposites, u dont get to god by thinking, unless ur logic its completly wrong.
This man's lyrics have pulled me thru many dark days thanks for many sunrises
First time seeing his wife. She seems like a real sweetheart. Jeff you are a legend! You do you man! You have given us so much!
I heard she was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and I hope she made it through that ok. Trying to check on that now, but I can't find any more info unfortunately
@@nicholasmisiak4724 I'm friends with Jeff shes doing good now
Praise Jesus! This was the best news I've heard in a long time. As a long time fan, and a Christ follower for 23 years, I was literally brought to tears by this. Knowing that one of my favorite musicians is now a brother in Christ truly made my night. I may not get to congratulate him in person, but praise God one day I'll get to see him in glory.
Congratulations, Jeffrey! I'm so happy to know you're now part of the family. God bless you, brother!
I remember the first time I heard Solitaire Unraveling on MTV3, and this dude's voice, made me feel something. It's really great to hear his story and hear that he's loved and found happiness. That first time hearing that song was a huge moment for me, and while it might have just been a record that performed well for a hard rock/heavy metal act at the time, it meant a lot to me as a 11 year old kid. Thanks Jeff. Best wishes.
This testimony will reach many hearts
Thank you Jesus
Their first album got me through my divorce years ago. Now I get to see him as a brother in God's eyes which makes it all the more special. Thanks jeff.
The fact that you think God didn’t see him as your brother before he was ‘saved’ is most of your problem.
@@michaelgustin9373 It's sad that people always want a twist words to mean something negative so they can have something to put others down. I hope you find peace.
@@michaelgustin9373 Where did he say God didn't see him as a brother? I think you read that wrong.
@Kingdom Warrior Wait… you hafta be “born again” and “saved”? That kinda screws everybody over who was religious from the start, doesn’t it? 😆
@Kingdom Warrior Again… What does that mean for people who didn’t need “born again”?
Mushroomhead is one of the best bands I've seen live ..it was just unreal ...it was such a great show
Long time metalhead. Been in the Mushroomhead pit. Been through it with the drugs/alcohol. Rejected by my family church. Went into a bad place spiritually. Saved in jail during a 30 day stretch. I'm just happy to see so many of the "hopeless" metalheads that welcomed me into their scene now welcome me into their churches after so many years. The metal scene is an awesome community of people who know intimately the pain of life and the importance of picking a brother up when they get knocked down. Maybe eventually church music will evolve into something I can jam to.
Lots of good Christian metal these days. August Burns Red, Norma Jean, The Chariot, Fit for a King, For Today, Wage War and Screaming Giant are a good place to start. Hope you find something you like. I’m really loving Fit for a King “God of Fire” right now, probably one of the most brutal Christian metal songs I’ve ever heard. Stay strong brother these days are going to get tougher
@@PreachersKid420 Impending Doom!!!
Skillet, Red, Thousand Foot Krutch!!
\m/
Nu Metal is not the Metal scene. Go hang out at Hot Topic. That’s your “Metal” family if you’re a Nu Metal Head!!!!
I’m always liked mushroomhead and I’m very happy for Jeff!
I been a mushroomhead fan ever since I was 8 and I'm 24 now. I understood why he left the band and i couldn't be mad at him for it. I still listen to all of their music his legacy that he left behind is still a masterpiece. I'm glad he found the light and faith in his life. I'm still trying to find my way. It's good see him smile at the end, pretty heart warming to see the person I idolized for almost my entire life feel good about finding faith
Just seems like he is emotional, which is understandable.
Mushroomhead got me through high school. It gave us something to really look forward to every weekend. Same show every Friday and Saturday and we went religiously. I was front and center every show. When ever someone fell on the ground, EVERYONE helped that person back up on their feet. I’ve never seen such camaraderie at a hardcore show. We were all a family and I loved it. I’ll never forget those days Jeff, thank you so very much for all of your efforts. You guys changed my life and I am forever blessed to witness all that was MUSH ROOM HEAD!
This actually makes a lot of sense, because if you go back to the early Mushroomhead albums, a lot of his lyrics seem to be written from the perspective of someone struggling to find faith and meaning. It was like he was seeking wisdom and enlightenment, but found *nothing.*
Songs like:
"Conflict - The Argument Goes On"
"43"
"Mother Machine Gun"
"The New Cult King"
"Indifferent"
"Born of Desire"
and "Bwomp" tend to come to mind. I still listen to and love those early albums.
How about mommy
@@Noobmaster-zo9nv Those lyrics are inspired by the movie *Closet Land* featuring Alan Rickman and Madeleine Stowe.
@@HellAintHalfFull how do you know?
@@Noobmaster-zo9nv I read about and watched the film Closet Land which the dialogue sample from the end of the song is about. It's sung from the perspective of the woman in the film who may have been abused by her mother. Either J-Mann or Jeff added the sexual abuse angle because apparently one of them was sexually assaulted, but I can't remember who. They sample a couple of quotes from the movie. It's a really twisted one.
@@HellAintHalfFull oh nice
For a guy that has been performing in front of thousands of fans for over three decades, he sure seems nervous here. It’s much harder to talk about your inner, intimate emotions. He gets pretty emotional at times here.
I’m happy he found something he’s passionate about, and that brings him peace.
Jim Morrison was like that.
I remember reading an interview where he said he would get so nervous before shows that he would have to smoke weed and drink so that he could get past the feeling other wise he would lock up and not be able to perform.
Maybe he doesn't have to mask so he feels more nervous
This is crazy he's one of my favorite vocalists of all time he's an amazing musician and I'm glad he found christ I just hope he dosent think that means he has to quit music
He's still very active
Look up Jeffrey Nothing on UA-cam!! He's also very humble and I've talked to him on Facebook a couple of times.
He quit mushroomhead
I've been checking his solo stuff out and it's just as dope as mushroomhead
@@macnason9707 Rightfully so, too, Mushroomhead is awful these days
Abstain from every form of evil.
1 Thessalonians 5:22
Wow, I needed to see this right now. Jeff I've met you many times in Dallas and always prayed for you guys . Sounds crazy to some people maybe, but God has been working on us all. And today has been very difficult for me until I heard your testimony. God bless you and I love you brother.
The first time i ever seen MRH was trees in Dallas Tx back in 2011 me and my friends were popular that night
I've also seen them at trees a handful of times. Always awesome performances. What an experience
You've been one of my role models since I was an angst-filled teenager. To know you found an answer gives me hope that I'll find my path. Thank you for letting me follow you on your journey.
This is amazing
I'm am so happy for you Jeff!!! You and your wife seem like amazing people. I wish I could meet you both
Wow this is amazing, I never thought I would see anyone from Mushroomhead come to the faith let alone Jeff after knowing the lyrics. Been listening to them since I was 10. This brings me so much joy to hear this! So awesome!!
Out of all the members of Mushroomhead I never thought I'd see Nothing be giving his testimony about his love for Jesus. This is amazing. Jesus knows no bounds.
Factsss
Amen.
Mushroom Head😂 well I that kinda explains it, sorta of😣 I say,,, stick with reality, as hard as it may be, REALITY! Prove the supernatural, then I and anyone liKE me shall listen, otherwise, ITS ALL IN YOUR FUCKING HEAD😂 Good for you bro, you played in bands, but because of this your IMAGINARY friend somehow made a difference. You have issues and you found a outlet to explain such. This whole entire speech seems weak and you are not so sure, keep trucking on. I don’t understand some how a Judaism/ Christianity god makes sense to you, but shit and shineola PLEASE JUST DONT HATE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF DIFFERENCES🤙
Why you got to hate ? You have the antichrist Spirit! Repent and Believe in Jesus. JOHN3:16-18
@@chrispowers9517 read the Case for Christ.
Unreal. I’ve been a metal fan all my life, because of the hardships I’ve been through. This is powerful. I’m so beyond happy for him. Jeffrey Nothing is no longer nothing. He’s found everything. Amazing.
I love this. Always enjoyed listening to Jeffrey's voice over the years too. Very unique and NO ONE like him vocally.
Fantastic testimony and all the best to him, his family and church family! I myself was brought up in the church, grew up with Christian punk and heavy metal but, as a teen turned away. I was actually a fan of Mushroomhead then and later on met some fantastic brothers and sisters in Christ who were metal heads at a festival in Europe. I got back on track ( was in a death metal band, black metal band, and industrial band during a ten year period) and shaped up my walk with the Lord. Music is a great tool for worship and I am glad there are some fantastic bands in the Christian underground scenes. I am glad to see Jeff (met him with Mushroomhead in 2015 in Destin Florida when I was stationed down there) at a great church home and hope his testimony turns many to the Lord! God bless you all!
Jeff I have been a fan of yours since the late 90's. I love your work. You reached a new chapter now in Christ. All the best. Love from South Africa
Have you ever been inside the new masterpiece? -this dude has a very cool singing voice.
One of the best!

@@Tks4205 freak yes. Some kind of evidence, some kind of reason I can't find away to begin my life.
Amazing song
@@Sporacle im just showing some love.
This moved me to tears. He is one of my favorite singers and I am so happy to hear he found God. Keep fighting the good fight Jeff!
Man he has such a powerful singing voice, but so meek when he speaks. I really like Mushroomhead and I'm glad he's doing what's best for him.
Best news I've heard today!! Love meeting a brother that is growing in his faith. I listened to mushroomhead many times in my youth and your voice is what intrigued me. I am praying now for a continued growing in Christ for you, myself and everyone that sees this. Love the feeling I here in your voice! Godspeed my good man!
As much as I am a fan of yours and have followed you, I’ve never heard this story. But it was extremely moving and I respect you even more for it.
Same I found it on UA-cam just scrolling
I randomly came across it too, good for him.
never knew about that either, Kinda sucks for him....its good that he found a way of re enjoying life even tough its a religious one....
@@eatofthedead666 What sucks for him? That he found Jesus and got saved and will be going to heaven and not to hell? Yeah, not being tormented for all eternity does suck.
@@geraldwalshjr694 yeah so i asume that because i dont believe in your god I may burn in hell? Mindblown mate!
God bless you Jeff. Alleluia praise the Lord. You got me through some hard and heavy times as a kid. Thank you 🙏
I'll never forget when the album XIII came out. Jeff had the most unique voice I have ever heard. I loved mushroom head.
I was sad that he left the band, I actually saw him at his last show. Now I’m happy that I know this is why! Amazing praise God and good for you Jeffrey!!!!!!
When I first watched this a year ago, I cringed and felt "why did Jeff go from such a cool singer to this weeping Jesus devotee" (and probably felt harsher about it than that) but now I find myself looking at this as beautiful, and healing, and necessary. I don't know what God is or what it means, but I started praying this year while Ive been suffering greatly. I was kicked out of my home from drug use, lost someone very special to me and our world together because of it, and spiralled further into self-destruction. Im not in the clear yet, Im figuring it out, but there is something powerful here in choosing the path of light and knowing you can find peace in that way of being. I don't know who or what I am anymore. It's confusing but I grew up listening to Mushroomhead and 20 years later I still do every day, and there's power to this man's journey.
I've been a mushroomhead fan for years and wondered why he left seeing this I understand. I grew up in church and from being bullied to having health issues I hated everyone and turned away from God. I felt I had been cursed and blamed him, inside I was a storm raging with hatred for everyone. I had friends but my rage and desire to walk this earth alone cursing never went away. Till I met my wife, she walked into a band practice and for the first time in my life I didn't feel hate. There was something different about her, we started hanging out and over the years went from friends, to dating, to married. She was raised in church as well but a different denomination but I like to experience all different denominations. She has made me a better man and a better Christian without her who knows where I would be. Probably alone and hating life and myself or even dead. Glad you are doing good keep up the good work and may God continue to bless you!
Love this comment. Keep on keeping on man
Unfortunately there are Christian kids everywhere that are blessed with a lot and don't realize it. They think they're better than others and their parents are to blame for the way they act. I went to a Christian summer camp when I was 15. Kids made fun of me because I was from the local town that the camp was near. I guess that made me some backwoods hick in their eyes. They also chastised me because I got sponsored to go there by a local business and their parents paid all sorts of money for them to be there. I think a lot of us that lost faith have had some bad experience with so called Christian kids and it left a bad taste in our mouths. It's all good though. We're back on track and that's all that counts. We just need to make sure we teach our kids well.
I grew up listening to Mushroomhead. I've been a huge fan of theirs. I still listen. Its not the same without Jeff in the band though. To see this testimony was not something I expected but it was deeply moving. It made me tear up. I was glad to hear this. I grew up in the church. At one point in life it was 5 days a week. It was to much. I struggle with religion but after hearing this it gives me new hope. Thank you Jeff for this testimonial.
Jeffrey you have always been incredible and I’m so happy you have found peace and the lord. This was truly moving.
Glory to God!!!! Jeffrey I am so proud of you bro. Keep on Seeking the Kingdom and you will truly find salvation and freedom. I met my wife at a mushroomhead concert and I since have given my life to Christ. You are a true example of how God is so much bigger then our circumstances...so proud of you brother!!!!
God Bless You Jeffery. You've been a legend since the beginning and the lyrics to your songs have been inspirational for me the through the years. Stay strong and live long.
I was one of those kids u played baseball with till the sun went down. Best of Success and prayers Jeff. Seen you many times live and this is the first time I have ever seen you vulnerable and our Creator is blessing you.
Nothing more commendable than an individual finding a better life than they once lived. Cheers to him and all wondering if they could do the same.
If it wasn't for your music I wouldn't be here today, I love you brutha, after that testimony I realize even more why your music has such a deep connection with my soul for over 20 years.. PS. Without Jeff, there is no mushroomhead..
This is great news. Good for Jeff and God Bless him and his family!
I have met Jeff a long time ago, he came to visit me in the Hospital with a couple of other band members at one of the lowest points of my life. He was very gracious, warm, and caring. He is a good man and I will be forever thankful for what he did for me!
U , him , me us, we're pretty cool
I am proud and happy for Jeff. With that being said…I am glad I got to see Mushroomhead when he was still in it.
I been listening to him in Mushroomhead for YEARS. Knowing that one of my favorite singers in the whole world found Jesus and is walking with God brings a huge huge smile to my face. My respect for this man has grown even more because he found the happiness and peace he wanted and needed. I supported Jeff before and I will still support him. God bless you Jeff!!!!
I remember going to my first Mushroomhead show in Allentown PA. It was around 2008 or 2009. I was in make-up with my friend. I was at the merch area and while standing there I saw Jeff. He was just standing against the wall watching everyone. No make-up, just watching the crowd. Nobody recognized him. You were so cool and I got a picture with him. I asked him what was up and he said the sky. It was a fun moment I’ve always remembered. I’m so glad you found your happiness Jeff. Stay strong and thank you.
Jeff is a real man. God bless you both! 🙏 It's never easy to turn your life over to Christ. I think he is braver than most, and really enjoyed hearing his testimony. Thank you Jeffrey!
Jeff, I have been listening to mushroom head since 2000 when I was 15 now I'm 37. Last year I started going to chruch and my life has been way worse, but I like to quote you by saying "you don't know peace til you know suffering." I will stick with God to get me through the Storm. Just wanted to say thank you.
Mushroomhead is my favorite band and today I wasn’t feeling well and started looking up their music videos again to cheer me up and ran into this on my playlist. I needed to hear this! Thank you!
I have Mushroomheads logo tattooed on me. Jeff is a unique spirit and has a unique voice. Respect to you for finding your way to healing and happiness. The path you take is your own and you are owning it. #respect
I like your Giger profile pic brother
Thank you
Jeff, we really miss hearing that phenomenal voice behind a mic, but after hearing this I completely understand. As what I consider to be a decent person, I'm very happy that you found your peace. Good luck to you and your family.
Man Jeffrey you have brought so much joy to my life. I lost my crap when I first heard xiii. It changed my whole life. I love you man.. You rock. Still bro.
Very needed, glad this was put out public... Good Stuff
Jeff, thank you so much for your courage sharing this with everyone. I’m glad you have found your faith again, I myself struggle to find it again…seeing you share your experience, giving your trust up to faith gives ME faith that it will happen for me too. Thank you.
I've listened to Shroom for most of my life, starting back with XX. I've had the pleasure of meeting Jeff at a show, and he was just the coolest person. I'm forever grateful for that opportunity, and eternally happy for the man, glad to see he's found happiness at last.
I'm happy about this for Jeff to tell his own story in first person!
This was amazing Jeff. I have counted you guys in MushroomHead as friends in one of the greatest under rated bands. I got to hang out with you all one night in Grand Rapids after a show and although I doubt any of you remember me, I will never forget how real and normal you all were. I asked a friend after sitting around in a small room with a bunch of who I though we're other fans, "Where's the guys from the band?" I had never seen you all out of costume. He started pointing you all out while telling me each of your names. I was shocked and responded with something like, "These are the guys that looked like serial killers on stage, but these look like they could be any of our normal nerdy friends. So, what, are all rock stars really just band geeks dressed up to look cool." LoL I never saw any famous musicians the same after that.
I am happy for you to have received a calling or invite to the side with the only lifeboat off this sinking ship.
I have a similar story as far as the part about mom taking us to church until we quit when I was 12. From 12 to 21 I was as close to atheist as agnostic could get . Then one day driving home from work, as a Marilyn Manson freak. My fingernails filed to claws, and painted black. I got a message delivered audibly from something that I felt physically grab my shoulder from an empty passenger seat.
It said, "We got plans for you and you are f**kin up. A war is coming and you are important." Long story short I argued and demanded proof of existence and I'd fight on His side. They provided it and I commenced my training and preparation for the invisible spiritual war. For those with eyes that can see it has clearly made it's self more visible in the past several years. Lines were drawn and the chaff has been bundled into small groups each individual identifies as.
Along my path I have stumbled many times and still do often. I know I am a long shot from perfect and fall far short of the grace of God or deserving of it.
I often say, "Nobody's perfect. There was one once a long time ago, but we crucified him for it." I know that if we all get to celebrate together in paradise with those that have graduated before us, from this short education before an eternity in service to the King of kings... If we... or I anyway since I can only speak for myself. If I make it to the big after-party, it's only thanks to His supremely super-human level of forgiveness and patience. I have said that though this place can be really shitty at times. If I get to tell Him what I think when I'm done, all I can say is, "Thanks".
That said I just wanted to thank you and your wife. I hope you are both well and enjoying God's blessings.
P.S. my atheist metal friends always argued with me when I said MushroomHead almost seemed like a undercover Christian band. This is going to blow their mislead minds.
🤯 I Love it.

Good for you Brother, I myself got saved in 2015. It's a night to day change man, keep on keeping on.
Way to go Jeff! Big Love and God bless.
Hearing you tear up Jeff makes me cry love you brother
he is probably the best singer ive ever heard. this testimony is beautiful
Everyone has their own personal relationship with Jesus, and only they can answer for themselved. But God is merciful, He longs to forgive and embrace even the worst of us, we are all sinners in dire need of His grace. And it blows me out the window that this man- THE FORMER FRONTMAN OF MUSHROOMHEAD!!- let God touch his heart, and God blessed him with a wonderful wifey.
I just threw up in my mouth and swallowed it
Once the seed is planted, it may go dormant, but it is always is within us. You may ignore it, but you always know it's there.
They are both sweethearts, and I’m glad to see Jeffrey nothing go to a different chapter in his life. That’s actually can be a brighter light in his life.
This band has helped me through so much over the last 20 something years ive listened to them.i have em tattooed on me as well as seen them 13 times,hung out with all them few diff times.Jus wanted to say Thank you for getting me through a tough point in my life.MRH For Life!
Mushroomhead has been a extremely important part of my life and my children's lives. I am moved to see you so vulnerable yet so brave to tell your story and pronounce your faith. Us metal friends remain by your side!
This is awesome !! Had no idea he even got saved ! This is what it’s all about !
I use to listen to Mushroomhead throughout my highschool years, about 15 years ago. Good for Jeff, I'm happy for him.
Thanks for sharing Jeff. I respect what you have had to go through. Many people are learning from your experience. It was worth all the pain Sir.
The one reason I got into Mushroomhead. Love and miss his voice in the band.
Im just glad Jeff is happy, without the band. To each his own, keep rocking whatever way works!
I am glad Jeff is finding peace. Being in a position that was realistically torture. Staying as long as you did, for us. I thank you. I am eager to watch what you do next. You got this.
I was 15 when I picked up my first copy of a Mushroomhead album at a local store called The Great Escape. It was the XX album. I'm 31 now and I've been a big fan ever since. While I'm still a fan today, I have to admit, it's really weird not hearing your voice on their tracks. I hope to hear more from you in the future. Stay strong, Jeff!
I saw Mushroomed at Mayhem festival 2014.
I'm a Christian Metalhead. Personally I feel it's awesome to see Metal artists being saved. I hope he gets back into the music in the future and doesn't just end it. Take a break for now, then maybe get back into it and spread a message on the road with double bass and ripping vocals dude!
Great video.
Amen Christian metal head here too!
This breaks my heart to hear how your view of your time with Mushroomhead. I loved eveytime and every venue hearing you belt out my favorite songs. To know you were in agony. So an ex went to one of your shows in downtown Chicago. He said he saw you just standing by bar. So he had to go up to you. We loved Mushroomhead I have logo tattoo on my neck. He still to this day felt bad because after he recognized you. Others started to swam you. You gave us a gift with the music you brought to our ears and hearts. I hope you are now truly happy and hear you on a stage whenever you're ready. I enjoyed listening to you just speak. Jeffrey Nothing a truly beautiful soul
God bless you Jeff!
Loved Jeff in mushroomhead. Love him even more now. Should be super proud of your career Jeff, this is brilliant 🤘🏼
Your music has helped me get thru this brutal life. Without hatrix and mushroomhead I know I wouldn't be here alive today. Im glad u found something to call yours. Your music has always been there for me and for that I support u in anything u do. Religion is not in my book but metal always will be. Love you Jeffery and thank you for everything. 💙🤘
Jeffrey Nothing, no longer "Nothing". You are a man of faith and loved by all the right things.
Your Stronger now and forever.
Go with faith Jeffery "Everything".

Jeff, life always places us where we need to be. When you were in MUSHROOMHEAD, you saved and helped me move all sorts of mountains and your music still does today.
God bless you sir, because of watching this I will be finding a church for myself and family. I haven't been in a church for other than funerals or weddings in years. Your testimony has changed my ideals about God and life in general. I've been a fan and had shared in shots of jager with you in st.petersburg FL on a few occasions and you were always accommodating. Thank you for being genuine and human, because to fans we think sometimes you aren't just human beings with feelings and needs also,God Bless you and you're family.
Yes continue to seek him !
Mike, I go to an awesome church in St. Pete called Calvary Chapel Fellowship, or CCFSP. I’ve also been punk and metal all my life. This is one of the only churches I’ve ever found to be “real” and Biblical, as well as relaxed on people’s styles.
I’m glad this vid popped up in my feed. God bless Jeff and his wife, I needed to hear this today.
@@samhill3136 IF you think your church is the only one real in the Bay Area you've obviously never went to THE REFUGE in St. Pete or a Billy Burke meeting or Mountaintop International or the many real churches in the Tampa Bay area. Really crude to hype your church when Jesus is found everywhere.
Sometimes it can take time to find the right church. I asked my Dad why after some time that we would leave one church for another, and he explained to me that the reason we left any of those churches for another is because he didn't feel the presence of God in that church any longer. It has taken a while for me to comprehend this to the full extent, but what I am trying to tell you, is seek Him with all your faith, and he will lead you to the right place. God Bless.
Mushroomhead is one of mine and my late husband's favorite bands. Jeff you are an amazing person. I love you and am happy for you
Miss him from Mushroomhead, but great seeing people happy, so good on him
Truly an amazing testimony and I’m glad to say Jeff is not only a musical influence of mine, but also my friend.
It's good to see that you're truly happy Jeff! I've been to so many Mushroomhead shows growing up, and although everyone in the band treated me great, you always stood out the most to me. Both as a person and as a part of your band. I was a pretty shy kid but you always made me feel welcome to just hang out back stage with y'all and always took time out of your busy schedule to talk to me and other fans. You and your voice are iconic, and your music, just like countless others, has helped me throughout my life. Personally, I am agnostic, but that doesn't matter. Hearing your story was both moving and inspiring, and I can relate in many ways. Thank you for everything and for still putting a smile on my face after all these years. 🤘
Oh and MH isn't MH without you. You are what made them truly stand out. It's really saddening that they didn't appreciate you like they should have and treated you the way they did. Us fans appreciate you though, with or without MH. 🤘
I saw this man on stage a long time ago, it was an awesome experience. He gave me a fist bump in Springfield Mo. I found Jesus and Im so happy he did too. I have a massive amount of respect for him. My younger years would not have been the same without the music he made. Thank you Jeff. God bless.
I have been a fan of Mushroomhead since I first saw them July 1996. Jeff has always been my favorite member. I was lucky enough to meet Jeff, well outside of a show, in 2008 when I drove up from Columbus to have him tattoo me. It is one of my most cherished moments.
I'm so glad I found this video. I had no idea of the pain he has been through. I wish him all the best and so glad he has found happiness after years of torment. Thank.you Jeff for all you have given me and other fans.
Yaaayy Jeff! I am so glad you found peace in your life, and I will follow you musically wherever you go ❤️
Yes I've always had respect for Jeff he made Mushroomhead Mushroomhead that's why I got into their music because of him but I'm so glad that he gave his life to Jesus Christ of Nazareth!!!
I spent years as a "hired gun" or a musician for hire. A couple of years ago I was fronting a metal band touring the Midwest hitting festivals and small venues opening for major acts and promoting our upcoming album. I met Jeff and his wife at a show in Iola Kansas and they both were so down to earth and so encouraging. Its great to hear him speak on his life and journey.
