Paolo next. Hope you talk about his fued with the All that Remains and Trapt singers.
Y e e e e
I didnt know he had a feud with Phil. Christ... Paolo throwing that shade everywhere lol
This is news to me where did you hear this?
@@Theone-be8xl It's been on twitter
I mean Paolo is just very outspoken
You can see it in Matt, the way he gets excited talking about Alex, always saying that he is the right guy. Alex is such a beast, eveyrything that he had and that he's having now with Trivium is definitely deserved. This is one is gonna stay boys, he's THE drummer of Trivium
Trivium BA- before Alex. ... Trivium AB- With alex bent
Adrian E lol
Alex has been a drummer about as long as Trivium has been a band
Official BNAMusic88 Alex has been a drummer for about as long as I’m alive.
29:38 is why I support this band. Humble.
alex bent is an absolute beast on the drums and seems like a top lad, so glad you found him!
instaBlaster...
Weird seeing you here, though I'm two years late
20:34 "It's hard to think life before Alex" What a lovely sentence (and not the sin!!) from Matt to his drummate!! ;)
Would happily watch a Paolo and Corey episode as well. Really enjoyed this one !
The Crusade is my favorite Trivium album. It's crazy where the band was personally during that time where they almost broke up and yet they created such an amazing album. I also love the Rising.
Just when I thought I couldn't like Alex any more I see he has a GoodFellas poster in the background. He's a keeper for sure.
Just had a drum lesson with Alex a few weeks ago! What an amazing talent and a humble great guy!
Kinda bummed Crusade is considered a bit of a black sheep in Triviums discography. That was my introduction to Trivium.
Great interview though, learned a lot and I now need to listen to some of Alex's old stuff.
in my opinion, the crusade is one of their best albums cuz thats how i got into them too
Me too. I kept seeing people wearing Trivium shirts around 2005 and I decided to get The Crusade. Been a big fan ever since
I understand Matt reasoning. I think if it wasn't for that record many of us wouldn't be here following them. It might not be some people's favorite but it was the gateway album for a lot Trivium fans.
The Crusade had a lot going against it. It was their only album that had a time frame where it had to be complete so it was rushed. The record label pushed the album to have poppier songs like The Rising and Sadness Will Sear. The hate from older bands on the popularity of Ascendancy caused Trivium to do an album that would be the opposite sound instead perfecting the sound they had (Having to fix what wasnt broken.) The Crusade isnt a bad album but its plagued with some issues and got hate for being seen as a step down from Ascendancy.
@@JetJoestar Thank you for the detailed background on it. After I bought Crusade and fell in love with it I rushed and got Ember and Ascendancy and loved them. I'm a "listen to the full album" guy and Crusade is the only Trivium album I skip songs on but the second one I go back to the most behind Shogun.
Dude, if you ever fire Alex from the band, we will riot :-D
We will become the dragon and rain our holocaust down from the sky..
Corey told them that they can’t replace any more drummers.
Alex might be the best singer Trivium has had in ages! No offence Matt. Much love.
Upsinator lmao what 😂
Always love Alex's vocals on Shogun
Alex does not sing, pal.
@@ChrisDaron Yes, he has been the main singer from 2016-2024
@@upsinator4535 Yeah hes an idiot. I remember seeing him when he fell and broke his leg and he had to go to the hospital, then this guy Matt came out and sang and he fuckin sucks!
This was an incredibly deep and very insightful conversation. It’s like sitting with 2 of your best older friends and just listening to the experience and knowledge. ♥️
We need more of these, thank you Matt, thank you Alex. ♥️
You really get a sense that they are very humble people.
Love Alex on the drums 🤘🏻 really love how he’s happy to be a part of the band, sounds genuine and he’s not taking it for granted, great guy
We need that spotify playlist of Alex
Hey Matt , I am a business owner in Ny & NJ I’m a huge fan of you guys your music is awesome and being stuck home lately watching you be stuck home as well , you are a great dude also keep it up man trivium is awesome 🦾
Met Alex in Battlecross. Such a talented and humble gentleman!
Hey guys, I know this is late to the party but..
I found such irony in the views expressed with regards to The Rising on the album The Crusade, and later you talk of the closeness you all share as a band now.
Looking at the album, songs jump out such as Anthem and This world can't tear us apart.. that to me are such awesome pieces!
Just thinking now how Anthem and Watch The World Burn are like twin songs hahaha \m/ !!
I say this only because I only had the albums; Ember, Ascendancy & Crusade.. listened to them many many, many times and now realized (again) that Rising is a song I'd always enjoy with the feeling the song gave me (and knowing the 8 minute masterpiece was next!! LOL)
Again now hearing your later works and absolutely loving them, with watching this chat has only reinforced my, I'm just going to say love for the band in its entirety!
P.S. I'm playing The Crusade while typing this !!
Again I know there's deeper reasons as to saying what you did about the song(s) and album.. I just wanted to share my interpretation as a listener, Much love guys!
After cycling through several talented drummers, you landed on something truly special. Not since Corey have the drums been so tight. Really happy to have him.
Get Babish on so we can all go to sleep listening to your soothing voices! Also Matt pls try to get on Hot Ones!
As much as I would love this, I don't see how it would work very well. I doubt they even know each other lol.
@@digitalmonster6049 That's the power of the internet I guess, everyone is only an email away!
So good. We need podcasts about metal music! 🖤
Fantastic 50mins of my time that I'm so happy i got learn more about Alex and why hes the best drummer for this band. Super chill and humble guy which I love how great you just genuinely fits right in with the boys. Cant wait for the new album!
Alex seems such a down to earth guy for someone with such a rich repertoire. And the skill on him is insane!
And we love you guys in the UK!! It always sounds like you think the UK hates you! haha
the have a huge fan following in the UK, its the metal press that has dogged them since they released crusade
I love these, I always wanted a podcast about metal/rock, thank you Matt!
Greetings from Portugal and I hope when this virus is gone, I can see Trivium live, really looking forward to the new album!!
Paolo needs to be next, want to hear his side on the Alex interactions, and I absolutely love your guys' chemistry together!
Trivum have the most complete musicians i ever kewn
This is awesome! Glad you guys found the chemistry and friendship you've been looking for. And yeah when you guys showed that you were hanging out and stuff on your posts. It showed like you've been friends for years! Happy that you guys are band of true friendship.
Best podcast. Iv been a trivium fan since i was around 12 or so. Im now 24 and you guys are the reason i picked up and learned the guitar. And i find it interesting in the sense when you said with the other drummers everyone asked 'Why'? Why get another drummer etc, but then once TSATS came out NO1 at all questioned it. They were all like Yes this is the Trivium we've wanted, its all in place now. Alex is the perfect fit. You guys are awesome and iv seen you guys live in Australia a while ago with drummer i think 4?? Cant wait to see you guys now with Alex. Best band in the world
Should release an audio version as a podcast
Matt!! Please do not let Alex leave the band. He is the missing piece to this band. He is incredible and deserves to stay in the band.
Came here from the downbeat podcast🔥
10:20 Alex mentioned Tim Yueng! Tim was merely filling in that fateful night...and Alex.....WAS NOT READY. Tim's work in Divine Heresy is insane.
No wonder TSAS is my favorite Trivium album. Alex was the missing piece they always needed and the timing couldn’t have been better. I am beyond excited for the new album \m/
really liking the GLHF episodes so far
One of us. One of us. One of us.
43:40 nobody lets loose until Matt lets loose
8:29 i think slayer is the band that making fun of trivium in the early days. picking up clues from metal injection videos and loudersound articles and matt's subtle reaction when hearing the name. still under investigation lol
Holy shit, I thought the same thing haha
Probably Kerry he is a mong 😂
Such a wholesome interview 😂🤘 I love it.
This is so cool.. So glad u guys are playing together, best\worst April fools joke ever btw.. 9am.. Didn't even realize it was the 1st so..... 😈😅
I love how chill Alex is. Even while playing he's just relaxed but dang he's bad!!
Such an amazing conversation.
I love the rising, it´s catchy
Alex's First Introduction to Metal is ironically close to me....
Because I knew about Metal, then I watched Ghost Ship and discovered Mudvayne because "Not Falling" was the Credits song. Been a fan of Chad Gray as a Vocalist since then, plz bring him onto GLHF......
Incineration from vengeance falls, absolutely amazing song. Don't think it would have been out of place on another Trivium album. Still some greats so gs from vengeance they should play more
The funny thing about Alex listening to Dechristianized because of Yeung is that their guitarist, Dave Suzuki, did the drums for that album and the next one after. I wish Suzuki did more death metal these days, that guy is insanely talented.
Hearing conversations like this is why Trivium is my favorite U.S band. (Soilwork non-U.S)
Matt how do you forget Alex worked for Rings of Saturn, my mouth dropped when I heard that. Sick af
I want to hear "The Crusade" song live!
Paolo next, please~
Great video Matt. Cant wait for the videos with Corey and Palo.
Best thing about food in Japan is just the ramen. Actual, proper ramen. It's heads and shoulders above anywhere else in the world.
i agree. right before i left i had tonkotsu ramen at some hole in the wall i had never been to. My aunt was like "lets have ramen one last time before you leave", I was sad to be leaving so I didnt really think about eating but it was the best ramen i ever had and it was at some random shop. Theyre lowest tier ramen probably beats anything here in the states.
This was cool, thank you Matt !
34:07 y’all should play a piece of The Rising live... might as well lean into it lol
Official BNAMusic88 lmao
There's something just so heartwarming about watching these two shoot the shit, can proper see the bro love between them :) \m/
These interviews are awesome! Please rest of the band next! Paolo, Corey! and after that maybe Howard Jones or Adam D!
This guys plays as fast as joey jordison did, hope he keeps it up! He’s really good
Dude I am LOVING these Vodcasts. Alex is a legend. Although... Am I being stupid... What does GLHF Stand for? 😅
Good luck have fun? I think
Sorry you guys couldn’t come to Japan. I was supposed to be at Knotfest too. When you finally make it over here please come to Kyoto, my wife will make you some insanely good Japanese home cooking or we can go to Osaka and just pig out. Can’t wait for the new record though seriously, I can’t remember the last time I was this excited. Stay safe 🤘🏻
well done guys keep it going
I miss that "Blink-182" era tbh... The Offspring, Blink-182 and Sum 41 were my holy trinity.
My first CD I ever bought was The Offspring - Americana when I was around 11-12, during High School I got into progmetal/metal, but honestly these three from childhood are on my playlists still.
PLEASE DO A PODCAST!
I now need to hear Alex playing with Rings whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
I like tracks from all the records don't get me wrong but it is funny how the 6 he mentions that they had a lot of freedom on turned out to be the 6 better Trivium records. VF, SITS and The Crusade left out respectively.
Haha Mark Lewis eating an entire chicken, that was hilarious 😂
the thing i find the most weird is how used to your and Alex's voice i am.
Been watching you stream for so long now that it became pretty normal :P
it's like hearing a friend talk...dunno how to explain
Have Corey on!!
I want to know when Alex first heard Trivium and what he liked and his journey listening to them
Alex needs a video series named Get Bent
we need an Alex Drum DVD called "Bent IN Shape" a twist of the old saying bent out of shape
He was into Good Charlotte and Sum 41. Didn’t see that coming lol. Great bands.
I was looking into Musicians Institute in LA as well. I as well had a feeling not to do it. My other passion was flying airplanes. Now, I'm a commercial pilot and having the time of my life. I don't think, or I can not see a good outcome going to MI route.
Go with simple stuff....like Blink-182. Travis Barker is not easy drums to start with...no wonder this guy is a beast. Usually you start with like AC/DC at best lol. Awesome stuff
Most won't admit it, but Barker has some solid chops on him.
John w. Dill. Breaks your leg then sues himself!
Matt it’s funny, I still have my ball chain necklace haha. I haven’t worn it in years, but I kept it as a memory. I also was big into the pop punk scene. But I also listened to a lot of punk rock and ska music. My conversion to metal was avenged sevenfold, 36 crazyfists, Atreyu, as I lay dying, shadows fall, from autumn to ashes. That was in 2003, then I discovered trivium in 2004. And my thing was I really wanted to learn those songs on guitar and it made me a better guitarist once I got into metal. Because at that time it was just power chords. For years it was like that before I got into metal.
Killswitch engage was also one of the bands that got me into metal. They were 3rd band I discovered after avenged sevenfold and 36 crazyfists
I am no longer in Portland OR but the next time you guys play there you have to try Pastini pasta. If you live pasta they are by far one of the best!!! There are like 5 around the metro area.
they scheduled to be here in Portland on the Megadeth tour in late July, but dont for see the country being 100% back on track to allow for major arena tours by then
“The bands band band”
You should interview 66Samus next :)
Matt I watched Tiger king all in one go, was crazy. Can't wait for WTDMS and your new epiphones! Also, will you do episodes like these with Paolo and Corey?
Would be class if you got Paolo and Corey on too, this was great. :)
I'm sorry, Testaments last record was Bent on drums? Holy shit
Wooo! Already?
If you guys ever come to Finland again I wanna cook for you guys :)
I'm surprised he didn't talk about Underling but whatever. Great video anyways!
to this day i don't get why vengeance falls is so badly reviewed or seen as a black sheep, it's diffrent but still such a diverse and great album overall
The rising was the first track I heard from Trivium and was like “these dudes rock, who are these guys?” It’s kinda disheartening to hear that The Rising has become a meme per se
Hey Matt, Get Shadows from A7X that would be siiiiiick !
9:36, you were 8 years old man!
Matt - can you please commission Epi to make a few Lefties for us pleeeeeeaaassseeee....
Matt on an episode of hot ones would be awesome
What years did Alex play in the Modesto Junior College Jazz Band? I was in it '09/'10. Played trombone. That's hella ironic.
Btw, La Morenita is the best Mexican food. I got to go back to Modesto soon...
@AlmightyStarfire "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result." Here I thought that I was in a simple college jazz band, when in fact I was playing with the drummer from one of my favorite bands. Pretty amusing
So "Rising" doesn't sound like a Trivium song but you guys play "Silence in the Snow" live?
Hussain Family Silence in the Snow sounds like a shogun trivium song, they even said they made this song for shogun but released it for SITS, Rising sounds like it doesn’t belong on trivium’s song list
@@Theone-be8xl help me out: Shogun had Seven-string guitars, growling death vocals, and very intricate riffs. How does SITS fit with that?
You're trolling. Im not a fan of the song, Silence in The Snow, but its definitely Trivium without harsh vocals. The Rising was poppy trash with cheesy lyrics, cheesy guitar riffs that sound like they were ripped off a 90s cool kid commercial, and Matt Heafys metallica lite vocals at their worst.
@@JetJoestar All I was really getting at is that there are plenty of other songs besides SITS that I wish would be part of their lives set. I personally like Crusade a lot better than SITS but either way I'm still a fan and hope to catch them live on the LOG/Megadeth tour
Hussain Family SITS has seven strings as well, sounds like it may be the same scales used in the shogun album as well, even has vivid but vulgar imagery in the vocals “Let’s paint the ground red with the blood of our kill” sits well with shogun’s “ripping your veins out, your insides win and kill you from within” or He Who Spawned the Furies’ “take your teeth out of me I have just begun to breathe on my own”, the melodious nature of SITS fits well enough with the melodies of almost nearly every shogun song, even got the Japanese mythology associated with the song because of the Oni skull like shoguns Chinese and Japanese mythology theme, best argument is technicality and death metal vocals. Tbh I even listen to shogun album with SITS between shogun and Torn for a change of pace before the ass beating lmao but all opinions
Usa usa usa usa.... 🤘😬🤘♥
I always wonder, who the fuck dislikes videos like these?
What microphone are you using?
Looks like shure sm7
Get Chris Taylor Brown from Trapt
Although Matt doesn't seem to rate Vengeance Falls, I think it is amazing. Not a bad song on there. Haven't listened to the last one.
Vortex Afternoon Music that’s a great album
