2.5 hours?! Are you serious?? We do *not* deserve this but holy shit I am so glad we're getting it. Know you went through hell to produce this content for us all and I'm very appreciative. Super excited to watch this
I'm thankful I got to see Jay live in March at Melbourne Knotfest, I can rest easy knowing I got to see that legend live in the flesh- his precision, poise and creativity elevated The Knot more than anybody could ever hope to achieve. It's bittersweet, they booted both drummers who both ended up being generational talents for the same band- but I know Jay will be an upgrade for literally all bands he decides to play on with, he's still young in his music career and I have nothing but love for him, he got me started in drumming.
MATE - The absolute PEAK content from Craig just keeps rolling!! These guests are out of this world!!!! 🔥 Mario? Jay? We’re looking at you Lars and Thomas Haake 👀
Grew up with Conan O'Brien and always gravitated towards Max. It's incredible to see Jay carrying the torch in such an epic way. Jay has had enormous shoes to fill in so many ways. It's amazing to see how down to earth he is. Would be totally understandable if he had developed an ego to go with all the success.
Very cool podcast, I listened to the whole thing in the background while gaming.. I love Jay, he is one of my drumming inspirations, and he seems like a great guy as well. You love to see it
Love this interview so far (halfway through)! Jay is such a down to earth dude and I'm pumped that you were able to talk with him, Craig! Patreon RISE UP lol. So happy to get to listen to this early.
What an absolute treat this pod was. A eye opening episode bro, I mean I knew he was a freak of music nature but fuck this pod uplifts him into an how new realm. What a guy, thanks Craig ❤
I think what really makes this podcast is that Craig has a lot of experience in the subjects he talks about with his guests. He's a musician, he's toured a lot, he runs a business, he knows a lot of people in the industry so he can ask very good questions which often lead down tangents but are still so very informative and entertaining. Compare that to other interviewer/podcasts who's main experience is being a journalist you end up with questions like "who are your top 5 dictators" 😂
@@reynlord666 you are very welcome Craig. I've been following you for a while now. You've been very honest and informative about a lot of things, music and personal wise which is very refreshing from the usual social media veneer you get
I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't like Slipknot (I know, I know), but this was a great episode. Jay seems like a cool dude. I don't know 300+ of any songs, and I couldn't imagine trying to learn that at 17. My ass would have had an anxiety attack just from trying to process playing for Bruce. Hell even for Slipknot! Toss in no click track, the riser, the heat, the costume. Fuuuuuck me. Leading up to this, I saw a few comments complaining about nepotism. That might have opened the door for him, but nepotism didn't learn that insane set list. Nepotism didn't land his current gig. Jay's hardwork and dedication did. People just love to hate. Especially in the metal world. Crack episode. The set looks great! Really does have a movie vibe going on. Can't wait to be drip fed the rest of the Nashville run.
I don’t think it’s that uncommon to not like Slipknot these days… they have not been releasing good stuff for a minute. To many only first 2 records are considered good. For me it’s the first 3… after I have not been able to get into majority of their stuff. All in all it’s a matter of preference
sad he is out of slipknot now, looking forward to seeing what he does next. that being said- you HAVE to have him back on some day to talk about what happened!
Great episode!! Jay really seems like a great person on top of being an amazing drummer. Side note: visuals and audio are great!! Especially knowing all that shit that went down behind the scenes!
This is the best drum related interview I've seen yet and don't worry it doesn't all have to be about drums what makes us love musicians isn't just the music it's the feeling, the art and the creativity behind the player
All the stress of the Nashville situation was worth it from an audience perspective because this episode was very very good. Jay was fantastic in this. Looking forward to more Nash episodes.
Bro this was such a class episode. I’m 2hrs 13min in right now and it’s the first time I’ve checked to see how long was left, and only because I thought “how long have I been watching this”. Such an awesome conversation, and I reckon you’re deffo mates now 👍🏼
Very nice interview! very chilled, cool topics, and great audio and video! I had to wait until I had a less busy day to watch it, as it’s 2.5h, the length totally works for the interview. Now, 2h in knowing Craig was drinking this algae stuff every day out in a Nashville, plus went out every day, I can’t help what his gut is feeling right there. Interview was awesome.
SO SICK CRAIG NO WAY! I just got into your channel recently with the Mario interview, then yesterday saw the Ali Richardson interview, because I fucking love that dude and realized - dude I fucking love you too! Found out about Stray from the Path, and it's fucking heavy. In the heart-hitting heavy. Loved the interview with Ali, just wanted to come back to listen to the last 20mins of that interview to then see - Jay motherfucking Weinberg in my feed. On your podcast!! Craig, I'm so fucking stoked to have found out about your stuff. Much love from Switzerland, dude! Cheers and thanks for doing this.
Whatever I find jay either a podcast like this or the house of mask or anything he is always such a cool guy. really patient and down-to-earth. We had a lot more like him in the industry
love hearing jay talk he always seems super chill, love watching his visits to the house of masks with aj , ive been playing guitar for 16 years and started learning drums this year love this podcast as always rad to just hear guys shoot the shit
This is sooo interesting 😵I have the feeling I have known Jay for a long time, this is the first time I see a podcast or interview with him... It's weird, it was like hearing a friend talk about stuff after years of not seeing each other 🤣 Thank you, for the episode! 🫡
The 1st time catching your pod. With JayW. What a hang! I could have went another 2hrs. The shop talk was great. It was all the extra stories that makes this one a treasure. Thanks 🤘
this episode was great. really cool to hear about Jay's experiences with musical heroes, drumming for gigantic artists, and the bit on Magick and "coincidental" stuff.
I can’t help but have the biggest smile on my face when I see a Downbeat episode that’s longer than 1.5 hrs. Such a special treat that makes my miserable work day so much better!
Loved this episode mate! Keep em coming. I love that you're meeting your drumming heroes in such a candid way. Can't wait to see what your upcoming guests will be. Cheets!
I love the moment when you are going through some inner turmoil about potentially getting a friend fired, and he just says "yeah! love having justin in my corner :) " LMFAO
So I watched this yesterday and made a mental note to check out Nightshift after the manifestation/unexplainable coincidences talk you guys had. Went into work today and it was on the playlist they played. Crazy.
I wasn't familiar with neurosis or that song so I just looked up that breakdown. I listened to it side by side with you guys singing it here and you nailed it hahah
I’m not a drummer and not really a Slipknot fan but I’ve been following Jay on yt and enjoy his videos. I wonder what his thoughts are on El Estepario Siberiano’s covers of Slipknot tunes? Lol On the conversation of snares. Played with a drummer that used a piccolo snare tuned as tight as possible minus half a turn. It was pretty ear piercing. Great discussion. Thank you Jay and Craig. I appreciate you both.
36:08 That's something to notice, when i went to a drum course i grew up reading those notes but i specifically think that A, I kind of know how to read music and B, its not a problem at all when you cant read
Holy shit! Did you jinx Jay and get him fired, too?!?! I’m sorry. Lol. I’m only kidding. I love this podcast. I appreciate what you bring us immensely. Have you reached out to Jay? Did you give us your update and I missed it? So very interested and invested after this episode.
We need a follow up episode NOW
What a sick looking set, surely that was a stress free process to put together
Honestly Craig is so lucky it's all on rails at this point, he can really just relax and cash in on the former grind.
Prior to the podcast he had the most relaxing week ever, he said.
lmao
🤣🤣
🤣🤝
2.5 hours?! Are you serious?? We do *not* deserve this but holy shit I am so glad we're getting it. Know you went through hell to produce this content for us all and I'm very appreciative. Super excited to watch this
Speak for urself mate. I deserve this
I'm thankful I got to see Jay live in March at Melbourne Knotfest, I can rest easy knowing I got to see that legend live in the flesh- his precision, poise and creativity elevated The Knot more than anybody could ever hope to achieve. It's bittersweet, they booted both drummers who both ended up being generational talents for the same band- but I know Jay will be an upgrade for literally all bands he decides to play on with, he's still young in his music career and I have nothing but love for him, he got me started in drumming.
@@WishMount jay was mediocre at best. They upgraded BIG with Eloy. The Knots WORST years were with Jay.
Dude has the power to literally be the cockiest drummer in the world, yet he's the biggest sweetheart. Such a joy to watch.
Good upbringing! I think it helps he was around the industry his whole life - it kind of demystified it for him
He's definitely calmed down.
He was not so respectful in his prior band.
Love seeing his growth.
Jay, his name is Jay.
Dude is a rockstar with a massive band and is so humble about it , lesson to be learnt by everyone
Well..... he was.
29:29 - "This is blowing my mind" died of laugh.
Right into that conversation about Bruce and click... My jaw was just down!
I knew this episode would be interesting, but this is on another level.
Huge, HUGE episode!
MATE - The absolute PEAK content from Craig just keeps rolling!! These guests are out of this world!!!! 🔥 Mario? Jay? We’re looking at you Lars and Thomas Haake 👀
Anybody else here after “the announcement” 😳😳😳😅?
I kid you not this is the best podcast on the planet. So many talents with such in-depth attention to detail!
Grew up with Conan O'Brien and always gravitated towards Max. It's incredible to see Jay carrying the torch in such an epic way.
Jay has had enormous shoes to fill in so many ways. It's amazing to see how down to earth he is. Would be totally understandable if he had developed an ego to go with all the success.
Dude I love how stoked he was there to be with you and share his stories. That was awesome, Craig!
This episode better hit 1million or imma rage! Downbeat for life!
Very cool podcast, I listened to the whole thing in the background while gaming.. I love Jay, he is one of my drumming inspirations, and he seems like a great guy as well. You love to see it
Instant classic. You’re a awesome
interviewer, perfect blend of asking interesting questions and letting Jay talk. WHAT.AN.EPISODE
It's actually insane how this podcast has grown over the years. Been a fan since 2019, keep crushing it! 🎉
Fantastic episode 🤘🏻Jay is one of my favourite drummers and even more so now hearing how involved he is with his process!
Love this interview so far (halfway through)! Jay is such a down to earth dude and I'm pumped that you were able to talk with him, Craig!
Patreon RISE UP lol. So happy to get to listen to this early.
STILL an awesome episode....even after watching it 9 batrillion times!
🔥🤘😝🤘🔥
56:35 UMM GUYS IT HAPPENED AGAIN
Right??? I thought about it like omg Craig are you creating this!?? Haha
I think we can all say this is the best podcast in the world
What an absolute treat this pod was. A eye opening episode bro, I mean I knew he was a freak of music nature but fuck this pod uplifts him into an how new realm. What a guy, thanks Craig ❤
Holy good fuck what a pod cast. ask Jay a question and he just goes off. An interviewers dream. This was brilliant!
yep. effortless
It’s mental this came out months before Jay’s exit
I think what really makes this podcast is that Craig has a lot of experience in the subjects he talks about with his guests. He's a musician, he's toured a lot, he runs a business, he knows a lot of people in the industry so he can ask very good questions which often lead down tangents but are still so very informative and entertaining.

I think this might be my favorite episode yet! Jay is so fucking cool and tells great stories. You smashed this one Craig 🙏
Jay Weinburg is the 🐐 imo. By far my favorite drummer of all time. Not just because of his talent but who he is as a human being.
I'd go rather with Matt Garstka or Eloy Casagrande
I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't like Slipknot (I know, I know), but this was a great episode. Jay seems like a cool dude.

My mind came back to this show after I heard what happened to Jay. Could have listened to y'all for hours.⚡⚡
This is the best drum related interview I've seen yet and don't worry it doesn't all have to be about drums what makes us love musicians isn't just the music it's the feeling, the art and the creativity behind the player
Wow. This was great. Jay is far more lovely than I already expected him to be.
Yessssss my dude! Chuffed for you! Also amazing long episode, Jay is awesome
All the stress of the Nashville situation was worth it from an audience perspective because this episode was very very good. Jay was fantastic in this. Looking forward to more Nash episodes.
Huge respect for Jay. Dude is real as hell and we need more people like him. Loved this episode ❤

Yeah so are we just throwing a perfect stamp on this one? Yeah? Cool, sorted.
Best video yet in this series. Great to see a drumming great attempt a drumming great...struggle and then do a pretty good job..👌
This episode is incredible. Downbeat has almost replaced tv for me ive been listening/watching so much lately
Looks absolutely stunning. Jay seems like such a nice guy.
Your fckn weird man stop
This is killer. Good work my dude. Glad to see all the heart ache getting this set up paid off 👌

This guy is on another level! So good to listen to jay!
best 2.5 hours i had in the whole week. thanks for this, CR
"How many velocitys of the dog?" Best sentence to ever be said anywhere ever
this episode was great. really cool to hear about Jay's experiences with musical heroes, drumming for gigantic artists, and the bit on Magick and "coincidental" stuff.
Genuinely outdone yourself on this on Craig. Brilliant episode. Conversation flowed effortlessly, and the detail in the chat was top shelf!!!!
I can’t help but have the biggest smile on my face when I see a Downbeat episode that’s longer than 1.5 hrs. Such a special treat that makes my miserable work day so much better!
Absolute legend, and an excellent host as always. Thank you
Loved this episode mate! Keep em coming. I love that you're meeting your drumming heroes in such a candid way. Can't wait to see what your upcoming guests will be. Cheets!
Love this episode man, I hope Jay continues to have a long and successful career as the drummer for Slipknot
Sorry to say it , but he was fired from the band like 1-2 months ago
@@Le_T38it was sarcasm
@@Pyr0nEx oh okay haha, i didn't notice it XD
I love the moment when you are going through some inner turmoil about potentially getting a friend fired, and he just says "yeah! love having justin in my corner :) " LMFAO
same way Mario dodged the "did they give you weed?" question about going out with Lars and Kirk lol
Thanks, nice podcast and Jay seems like a really nice guy!
This episode was awesome!! 2.5 hours!! What?! Thank you for all your hard work getting this done.
One of the best Episodes yet! Killed the set up.
Welp... this hits a little differently now... 😅
This conversation is incredible. I wish I could have seen Jay live with Slipknot. But, I am totally down to see him with any other band.
What an awesome interview. Grew up watching his dad on Conan Obrien. Great interview Craig!!
i fucking love this so much. these literally make my weeks so much better!
This band has a history of treating their members like shit.
Offcourse cause Shitknot is a trash boring band
The best podcast on the planet! Amazing work once again❤️
Craig that was fucking great, you certainly have a gift behind the kit and just as skilled with The Downbeat.
Such a nice guy, great episode Craig!
The DOWNBEAT official 🐐🐐🐐🔥🔥🔥
That’s our Craig, smashing the ever-loving heck out of it!
Listened on my drive across Idaho today.
Absolute banger of an episode.
Awesome!
R.I.P Slipknot
2 of my favourite drummers this is so epic keep up the great work craig
So I watched this yesterday and made a mental note to check out Nightshift after the manifestation/unexplainable coincidences talk you guys had. Went into work today and it was on the playlist they played. Crazy.
that was such a well articulated displate ad.
I wasn't familiar with neurosis or that song so I just looked up that breakdown. I listened to it side by side with you guys singing it here and you nailed it hahah
Great listen! Jay is an amazing drummer and a very engaging guy.
I was anticipating this one.
We need a follow up episode asap.
Great podcast! Such a good person and one of the best band ever.
This episode hits different after hearing of the news today 😢
Common Craig, he told you off-camera, right?!
He didn’t even know himself….
I saw the same tattoo advice when I was 18, it works! I do the same thing with major pieces
Great video, nice one Craig 😎👍👍
been watching all his amazing videos he's been posting lately. they are so insane!
What a lovely chat with lovely people
I’m not a drummer and not really a Slipknot fan but I’ve been following Jay on yt and enjoy his videos.

Watched the entire thing and loved every second. Craig might be my favorite podcast host next to Chris from Suicide Silence.
This is just visually stunning 👌🏻
This has been such a treat 🍻
Speaking of Travis - how about getting him on the podcast? That'd be so cool
