Got to love and respect Dez for being so honest "drugs". Simple one word and so happy to see them back together. One of the most underappreciated bands out there
The new album is going to be SICK. I can just feel that from the vibe in this interview, like they all feel like this is the right time to be back together.
CC was my shit back in '97 - '98, so glad to see theses guys back together! They had some brutally heavy songs that were catchy and to the point. They were pioneers in the nu metal genre.
Saw them at Eatons Hill and Soundwave the next day FUCKIN AMAZING been listening to these guys from a very young age now to be able to have seen them live makes my year fucking EPIC!!!!
Front barrier for these guys in Brisbane... Fuck man, these guys have not lost it. I was a little young when these guys were first around, but listened to their music, and was blown away! Very proud to say I've seen Coal Chamber live!
It's good to see they have all made up and are friends again. It truly warms my heart to see them smiling and happy about being friends again. That alone makes it all worth it. Friends... that's what it's all about. :) That said, COAL CHAMBER RULES!!!!
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE just realeased a reunion album from their tour earlier this and added a few new songs and if you get the bonus edition (The one with the DVD) there are music videos on it (a few old ones and new ones of the same music video to show the differences)And they sound amazing like they got their spirit/energy back into their music but it was just a reunion tour that happens every 10 years so Coal Chamber getting back together with a new bassist is something to look,
I love coal chamber! I saw coal chamber for the first time in Dallas at Ozzfest! It was their first run on Ozzfest I honestly can't remember if it was "96" or "97" but I do know Manson and Pantera was on the bill and Ozzy played a solo set and Black Sabbath closed the show!! I think it was the first time Black Sabbath had played together all 4 original members and when Sabbath played (btw the show was at the Coca Cola Star Plex in Dallas)( don't know what it's called now, but this place is huge it's an amphitheatre capacity is at least 50k 60k ) when they played "War Pigs" it was dark but I could see the clouds roll in and a full moon 🌩️ lightning ⚡ in the background and in the crowd of 50/60k+ people had literally built bonfires all throughout the crowd at least 7/10 and they were all on 🔥 fire 🔥... It was absolutely exquisite unbelievable, probably one of the coolest most perfect rock n roll moments ever!! Sorry got off track talking about Coal Chamber... One other thang first.. I do remember being so bummed and upset that for some reason Manson cancelled or whatever the reason they didn't perform that night..Manson I wanted to see more than anyone but I still would have gone for Pantera and Ozzy Black Sabbath etc... Also this was the very first year of Ozzfest. I had heard of Coal Chamber but didn't know anything about them what they sounded like looked like .... Really most of the crowd and everyone I went with (my band my best friends a big ol entourage of us drove a caravan from Wichita Ks to Dallas) So I'm not sure who was on the mainstage when we got there but apparently I didn't care to see them.. but on the second stage Coal Chamber was getting ready to play so we got to the second stage and they come out and the first song they play is "Loco" and their stage presence is their look was so cool and exciting.. They were so young. I remember they play the intro to "loco" and right before Dez does his breathing GO before they kick in.... The whole band just stood there in these creepy stances and did not move didn't blink they just started at the crowd for at least 90 seconds way longer then how they perform it now.. and you don't know what's about to happen, remember 90% of the crowd never heard coal chamber.. then Dez still not moving starts to smile and his eyes get big and his smile gets bigger the suspense is really killing the crowd and we all want it to last... Then Dez stops smiling then goes ushhpGO!!!! and they go nuts it was amazing the Bass player Rayna is slamming on the ground landing on her knees jumping back up her knees are all bruised and bloody like she does this every night.. Dez was just so sexy and spooky and he kept smiling all creepy and screaming like a man banshee in heat!! The drummer and guitar they were even more crazy their movements while they play is how you are supposed to move when you are totally embodying the music and energy and when a band is truly locked in together it's a beautiful thing and they were so badass!! My favorite performance of the day and became a life long fan!!!! Pantera was awesome I had seen Pantera a dozen times at that point but I do remember Pantera being so Fucking loud it actually hurt I was afraid my ears were going to pop!!!! Lol. That was an amazing day!
Wow drugs really took a tole on these guys, they look it. I'm just glad they got clean and sober and glad Dez got everyone back together so they can tare it up again. So now we got 2 badass bands to listen to from Dez, we got DevilDriver which I can't wait till they release a new album, and we got CoalChamber back from the dead and ready to rip it up.
That's funny, when I first saw Meegs I thought: Adam Ant!!! They literally started where they left off. I have a live picture of them back in the day touring for Dark Days with Dez wearing that same shit... same Bauhaus shirt with the chalk powder and everything. I'm so pumped, these guys were my favorite band back in the day. Marilyn Manson has filled that void since then and I was really happy to hear that Marilyn Manson invited them out to Soundwave. Amazing.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! when did this happen!!!!! DUDE< i had tickets back in ... 03 i think but DEZ and Meegs got into it the night b4 in San Antonio and that was the end :( , i never thought !!!! @__@!!!!!!
Man, it's been a long time since I've heard of Coal Chamber, and they look awesome right now, except for Rayna no longer in the band, that really sucks.
I've fucking had it with people saying mean things about Dez and about coal chamber and if you don't have anything nice to say then don't don't say anything at all damn it and Dez isn't a freak he is gothic this is why i hate you tube some times too many mean and hate full comments.
And i hope they come back with a stronger and better but keep with the original soundbase you know what i mean? The comeback bands that made new albums that i have listened to so far kinda suck except for The cars they have one kickass new song but the other bands like Soundgarden and Pearl jam sound like they have changed and forgot their roots and The misfits new album sounds kinda like coal chamber but with a faster punk sound added now i'm just waiting for rancid to see if they are the same.
see hellyeah this is the shit. DEZ is one of the MAN......... freakin love these guys, dam miss those coal chamber days! dam \m/ 90's were the best!!! But ...now lmao, was just about to say how come they aint talking bout Rayna of what happened, then at 10:24 finally , but then hey what did happen DEZ just srugged off, huh? can't replace the Originals........\m/ but weird (what did happen to Rayna?!) but keep kickin ass \m/
The story that was told is that she wanted to be home with her kids. The father, he then husband, drummer for Sevendust was touring. Idk, that's just what was said a lot.
Wow I am in total shock! I never thought I would hear of a Coal Chamber reunion! I loved this band back in the day! Speechless. Awesome!
Got to love and respect Dez for being so honest "drugs". Simple one word and so happy to see them back together. One of the most underappreciated bands out there
They are not underappreciated.
my boy friend and i saw coal chamber live in Columbus and it was fucking awesome and their new cd is really, really good
COAL CHAMBER IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BAND EVER!! SO THIS IS BEYOND AWESOME!
Finally, an intelligent interviewer with a good metal band.
Coal Chamber come back! and bring again the 90´s feelings, put metal again in the right place!
Not only did these guys play with Pantera but Dez digs Motionless In White. FUCK YEAH!
+Roodney Wange they have a new cd out and it is fucking awesome
The new album is going to be SICK. I can just feel that from the vibe in this interview, like they all feel like this is the right time to be back together.
This is awesome that they back together!
Great Interview - got real and told us a lot. Gotta find that Performance now. 😄🤘 Hope all that’s still the case 5 years later. ✌🏼
CC was my shit back in '97 - '98, so glad to see theses guys back together! They had some brutally heavy songs that were catchy and to the point. They were pioneers in the nu metal genre.
Saw them at Eatons Hill and Soundwave the next day FUCKIN AMAZING been listening to these guys from a very young age now to be able to have seen them live makes my year fucking EPIC!!!!
exactly in this week I'm go back listen to them and now look this! I'm so happy! o/\o
i just hope they make a new album...please....they were my fav band 10-15 years ago :)
Front barrier for these guys in Brisbane... Fuck man, these guys have not lost it. I was a little young when these guys were first around, but listened to their music, and was blown away! Very proud to say I've seen Coal Chamber live!
I hope they make another album, I still listen to Dark Days.
They should definately return for a new album! It would be very awesome to see a new Coal Chamber album this year or next :D
Great! chamber music is for me, one of the best albums in the 90´s.
Nowadays I actually like Chamber Music the best of their albums.
I hope they get to make at least one album more with time and thought.
Great stuff.
So glad they finished with a little snippet of Loco. I fucking love that song! God I'd love to get a chance to see these guys play.
Love Coal Chamber!!! Miss Rayna tho!!
i just watched them live last nite and they were amazing
It's good to see they have all made up and are friends again. It truly warms my heart to see them smiling and happy about being friends again. That alone makes it all worth it. Friends... that's what it's all about. :) That said, COAL CHAMBER RULES!!!!
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE just realeased a reunion album from their tour earlier this and added a few new songs and if you get the bonus edition (The one with the DVD)

cant believe i didnt see them at soundwave yesterday:( would have been insane!!
I have that same Bauhaus shirt from seeing that group live at The Vic in Chicago in 2005.
Dime stories make me smile
hoping for an album!!!
Holy shit! Dez knows Wednesday 13. now thats awesome!
I HOPE THEY COME UP WITH THEIR NEW ALBUM
i miss this people!!!!come back and make some shit!!!!rock the world bros!!!!
This new bassist is fucking gorgeous.
I so hope that they decide to tour the U.S. after Soundwave!
So glad to see this ;DD!!

And i missed this...
Wow drugs really took a tole on these guys, they look it. I'm just glad they got clean and sober and glad Dez got everyone back together so they can tare it up again. So now we got 2 badass bands to listen to from Dez, we got DevilDriver which I can't wait till they release a new album, and we got CoalChamber back from the dead and ready to rip it up.
What drugs do you took?
@@katharina4847 Drummer and guitarist were on hard stuff for awhile. Meth , Heroin all kinds
That's funny, when I first saw Meegs I thought: Adam Ant!!! They literally started where they left off. I have a live picture of them back in the day touring for Dark Days with Dez wearing that same shit... same Bauhaus shirt with the chalk powder and everything. I'm so pumped, these guys were my favorite band back in the day. Marilyn Manson has filled that void since then and I was really happy to hear that Marilyn Manson invited them out to Soundwave. Amazing.
I can't believe that Meegs is Chinese Mexican decent. Dude that's fucking awesome!
LOVE THIS BAND. COAL CHAMBER FOREVER!!! AND NOW FOLLOWING DEVILDRIVER. IF A BAND HAVE DEZ ON VOCALS I WILL FOLLOW.
They were fucken insane in Brisbane, awesome show
i had no idea they got back together. Oh My God. So happy. They influenced my metal taste a long side Pantera And Sepultura x_x
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! when did this happen!!!!! DUDE< i had tickets back in ... 03 i think but DEZ and Meegs got into it the night b4 in San Antonio and that was the end :( , i never thought !!!! @__@!!!!!!

Dez seem like the most chilled out guy, its going to be awesome to see DevilDriver at Roskilde Festival 2012
So happy to find out they making new material and touring...Fucking Dez is the man...and sporting a Bauhaus Bela Lagosi shirt is EPIC!
Yes!! BADASS!
Man, it's been a long time since I've heard of Coal Chamber, and they look awesome right now, except for Rayna no longer in the band, that really sucks.

That is what I am reall hoping for

The technical difficulties at Sydney were fucking shithouse but the still managed to get a wicked set in.
After that fist fight between dez and meegs I'm shocked they r back together

toots and the maytals are badass reggae.
Why does the drummer have the korn issues album cover on his arm
because he was a big korn fan and that was his favorite album
I've fucking had it with people saying mean things about Dez and about coal chamber and if you don't have anything nice to say then don't don't say anything at all damn it and Dez isn't a freak he is gothic this is why i hate you tube some times too many mean and hate full comments.
