The last time that I saw The Red Chord tour with Under Oath, Guy comes out right after Under Oaths’ set. He opens the show with “How many of you guys are wearing your sisters’ pants?!!” as they start the first song. Me and my friend just about died laughing🤣
I got to crowdsurf up to the stage and guy gave me mic to scream "it's not gonna be alright, it's not gonna be okay" a couple times. Best night of my life. Wish I died the next day, it's all been downhill from there. This happened in 2007.
These guys were such a unique and hilarious band! I love the honesty even though I don't agree with everything he says. This dude just gets things other people don't and has the most hilarious perspective toward other people and their stupidity! The "Panteradactyl" had me rolling! \m/
Back in the 03 to 04 era I was in a band that didn't sound like the Red Chord but we were in the same orbit with association with Andy Low. Despite actually growing up and living near each other, still to this day I've only met him a handful of times. He was actually always such a nice person.... but a legit enigma. I swear this dude became a cop JUST to fuck with people's minds. He never seemed to have any hard beliefs in ANYTHING other than maybe kind of stirring shit up. Not a bad dude... but someone I would consider a lifelong contrarian... borderline nihilist.
He was dead right on the eventual creation of deathcore. The missing element people forget were the nu-metal bands. Not just Korn and shit...... but moreso the 2nd wave of bands like American Head Charge, Nothingmore, etc.
dude I was the same way...I went from limp bizkit, linkin park to way heavier stuff, now I'm a big fan of lots of death metal and other various forms of extreme metal
well,now they fall into the "mathcore" category(converge)....but anyways it doesn't matter...i listen to deathcore metalcore and mathcore but i dont care...because always there's going to be a elitist/genre war
Great interview when he's talking about deathcore influences of Suicide Silence. I'm there age and It's funny how non-metal or hardcore bands like RAGE, Korn, Deftones, even Limp Bizkit can influence new metal bands arising. So much mixture involved when I was in hs 99'. I even heard the singer from Emmure was influenced by Limp Bizkit...
this guy was pretty fair and subjective about deathcore, i personally have no qualms with metalcore and deathcore specifically, though the scenes are becoming saturated in general.
For everyone that want's to know who REALLY invented the wall of death...Sick Of It All invented the wall of death...NY hardcore scene, it was actually originally named "the braveheart" before band's started calling it the wall of death. It's DEFINITELY a hardcore thing, that scene has alway's been big on fucking eachother up and being ultra violent. Lamb Of God was the band that made it popular because Randy started adopting it into their set with Black Label. By the way, Guy was only joking...he isn't serious when he say's they invented it.
YESSSS I remember that Clifton Park show!! I thought it was hysterical that y'all were playing with underOATH and I was hype. Diversity at its finest. Thank you \m/
it is definitely a musical genre. it's been taken over by scene kids, part of a trend, have taken it over. i predict that within the next couple years there will be a mass exodus from deathcore to crunkcore (stuff like brokenCYDE)
I agree with everything he said about deathcore; I feel a lot older than some of the people my own age just because I look at them, and they all have these skinny jeans and dyed hair, and are apart of this apparent 'scene' culture, but I myself have become increasingly disassociated with that. And I listen to pretty much every kind of metal.
trust me they did invent the wall of death they've been doing it since 2000 in revere ma and at the palladium in Worcester ma where lamb of god picked up on it after doing a couple of shows with them
It's almost depressing how NOTHING has changed since 2008 in this genre, we're still trying to recreate the same death metal/death core that was almost perfected 14 years ago. The blast-beats-into-breakdown song structure is starting to get reaally old. What's even more impressive/frustrating is that The Red Chord sounds more unique and original than bands "forwarding" the genre right now. We need a HUGE change in heavier music.
@@RobertoReyesChHC Djent has existed since 95 homie. Even with a couple "duhjent duhduhjents" thrown into the song it's the same song structure over and over.
@@nigelproctor Not in the way it exists today foo. Djent today as opposed to MESHUGGAH or even stuff like Fear Factory is way different than what today is. Any bands with -core influence weren't really doing that stuff or even knew who those bands were. Hell even in the 90s nobody really rocked with Meshuggah like the way people do now. If anything the era you're describing was worship of At the Gates/melodic death metal mixed with like Earth Crisis chugs and some tremolo picking with all of it having that dark sense of melody. More bands use 7 or 8 string guitars more than ever too. I can see where you're coming from and I respect your opinion but I also disagree.
@theonlybandever1000 agreed whole heatedly. We listen to interviews for the artist, not the interviewer trying to be witty like most others fail to do.
Yea, you can call deathcore what you want, but it beats the hell out of metalcore or hardcore. Whitechapel's "The Somatic Defilement" is one of my fav's, but i'm not a huge suicide silence fan (except that "recognize your fucking face" scream from bludgeoned to death). In the end, I like the red chord because they got smart guitar parts, and im a guitar player. Mike Mckenzie writes sick, smart, and cacophonous riffs.
why would these guys have been playing with under oath or whoever...? oh well. seems like they enjoyed it. only seen them once, but it was super heavy. sounds of the underground in dallas. not sure what year. maybe the first tour of that short lived touring festival.
Milwaukee at the Rave, 2010. They put a pop punk band in the main room, and the To Catch A Preda-Tour with TAS and Red Chord in the tiny bar. Such a great f ckin time
yeah imagine getting into a red chord show for free because you go to school with guys girlfriends sister. dude was fucking intimidating as shit the first time i met him i think i was only like 15. it was a cool experience though, getting into a show for free with the headlining band. but yeah guy is a fucking tank.
@lucadepu Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be spelled, since he's talking about the band. Unless you're saying the band name in English, which in that case is completely fine.
ha ha, I was at that Clifton park show and I TOTALLY missed that shit xD first time I've ever heard an interview about a show I was at... But yeah, guy seemed pretty startled at that show... I think he might have said hail Satan to the crowd once or twice.

They are back in the studio

HALLELUJAH!!! That’s great News Brother!!❤💪👊🥷🫡🎼🎼🎼🎉
Thats not true, but they hope yo write new music and are playijg shows again @@jonathanwickett7028
It's amazing how relevant some of Guy's comments are, even 8 yrs later

Hometown hero love guy
Even in 2020 😄
Even in 2021 lol
Twenty One ...and a half
Love this band. Their album "Clients" is one of my favorite albums of all time.
Only record that got me a “disturbing the peace”!

J MetalSkinz .....actually, I jumped to conclusions. I pretty much agree with everything he said.
Man I miss 2008
+kylehanson1 more like red chord through the eyes of the dead job for a cowboy and black dahlia good times
The Red Chord are really one band in a thousand, amazing stuff
"We appreciate the wigger support' LMFAO, new hero on my list of heroes, Guy Kozowyk lmfao :D

Rob is great and this video never gets old!
We needed more of this in the metal scene
Guy is hilarious. One of the reasons I love the red chord is that they don't take themselves too seriously. Cant wait for the next record.
dude I was the same way...I went from limp bizkit, linkin park to way heavier stuff, now I'm a big fan of lots of death metal and other various forms of extreme metal
"They wanna worship Jesus and hear Underoath." LOL
At least Guy recognizes bands like Converge are the real Metalcore.
well,now they fall into the "mathcore" category(converge)....but anyways it doesn't matter...i listen to deathcore metalcore and mathcore but i dont care...because always there's going to be a elitist/genre war
ByMaatdraG Converge really isn't that math-y (Dark Horse and AWLWLB especially). I consider them just artsy hardcore
aestheticore
Legendary interview
I saw him in a parking lot in Andover once. Also black Santa was a great song
love his humor
greatest interview ever
i took shots with this guy and ate all of evergreen terraces vegan enchiladas in Texas. fun time
He’s the shit
He seems like an upstanding fellow, and actually pleasant to talk to.
We appreciate the wigger support
5:53 lmao
I used to watch this all the time.
Wonderful perspective, still relevant. This band influenced so much good to debut too. Big influence of mine
Its Beautiful To See The Spark in his eyes
have never heard of this band yet still enjoyed this interview haha
aw man start with their first 2 albums
The interpretation of the suicide silence fan gets me every time haha.
Guy is the coolest fucking dude ever.
this must be the only red chord interview that can be taken seriously? ok.
Converge and The Red Chord are fucking great!!!
Awesome interview. Good one, Metal Injection.
rob is so fucking awesome.
My favourite deathgrind and grindcore band red cord i love you forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
gotta love this guy

Funny fucking guy
What an awesome dude.
omfg, i remember the birdman shit at Mayhem when they played lmfao. That was awesome
red chord interviews are always funny
All of The Red Chord are pretty nice guys.
Suicide Silence fucking rocks, btw! =D
this tour was tight
Guy is a totally approved dude.
Awesomeness!
18:36 when he imitates the wigger scene kid i fucking lost it!
Still perplexed at how this kinda music has kinda died out and Guy is a cop now lol
AND he runs Closed Casket Activities, don’t sell him short now
same thing happened to jessie freeland lol
@@srsucioguapodelsur8845 you mean Black Market Activities?
@@nation5478 I miss danza
It's been a while since I listened to Machine Head but I believe that's "Ten Ton Hammer." BTW Guy and TRC FTW.
He didn't say he invented it, just said that he likes to pretend that they did.
Awesome interview.
My Heart Beats in Breakdowns.
Love you guy
"It was like we were like pantera or something like that" FUCK YES HAHA
I love guy hes so funny and real
TRC is my favorite band!
Love this - and MACHINEFUCKINHEAD
i have never heard of the red chord before. nor have i heard of this man, but i gotta say. hes fucking awesome lol.
HAHAHA, pause at 18:50 :), his face is priceless, and the wigger statement was sooooo true :D, HAIL THE RED CHORD!!!
Lamb of god has done the wall of death at every show they've ever done
Guy sais it like it is. fucking awesome
He wasn't joking. He invented Pantera and pterodactyls.
Just never got around to it, I guess.
saw them in mass in 2008, it was fucking brutal haha

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with subgenres. This is silly. Although it is old, and the other deathcore he seems to reference is SS.
loool Guy's fucking killing it!!!!!!! speaking truth!!!!!!!!!!
Guy seems like a pretty gnarly dude.
Nice shirt Rob, The Red Chord fucking own!
I was at the Clifton Park show he is talking about.
Growing up with songs like My hear beats in breakdowns and memphis will be laid to waste its hard not to love the progression of modern deathcore
red chord an acacia strain are a perfect fit
Milwaukee at the Rave, 2010. They put a pop punk band in the main room, and the To Catch A Preda-Tour with TAS and Red Chord in the tiny bar. Such a great f ckin time

It’s sad this guy became a cop
Why?

i live near clifton park, and i know the security guard he was talking about. he has been working a couple of shows i went to
Oh Shit Im going In The PIT!
@anyrock22 thats because they started the whole deathcore thing
Anyone remember that he dated Juliya from Uranium? Lol does anyone here even remember Uranium?
