Christina seems to have the most comfortable and fun interviews with musicians that I've encountered on youtube; these are always really enjoyable!

[@Croot_Music]

I wonder if Greg is into working out

[@ComaDave]

Saw DEP and Testament at Soundwave Melbourne '14.
It was also one of Dave Brockie's last shows with GWAR.

[@leondarley2811]

I'm surprised how negative System fans were to Dillinger, given how reasonably heavy and avant-garde some of System's early work is.

Loving the O'Brother shirt Billy is wearing, that's an awesome band

[@jamesd7678]

Oscar Gonzalez they opened up for dillinger last year

[@oscargonzalez7930]

James Dunham yeah I know, that's actually how I found out about O'brother. Saw them opening for Dillinger and instantly got hooked, love their style.

[@danieldalan5237]

Billy is wearing an O'Brother shirt, and the first time I saw Dillinger in concert, O'Brother was one of the opening bands. Coincidence? I think NOT!
