Watching all the interviews I can find of Riley now. The news was a total shock. Power Trip was the thrash band that not only musically blew my mind but also had thoughtfully conscious lyrics with a frontman who I could respect and admire. Such a fucking loss. Rest in Power, dude.
One of the most thoughtful and well spoken dudes in the genre’s history. I wish I had an opportunity to speak with him. I never listened to his band until recently and they melded thrash/metal/punk perfectly. I’m also related to their drummer!
I was watching this right as the news broke about Riley’s passing. I got chills and instantly felt sick. I can’t believe it. This interview was awesome!
Watching this now is hard. 5 or 6 minutes before the end of the video he explains that he's gonna be ok during this time and has an upbeat view going forward. Regardless of the cause of his death, he came across brilliantly with his band, intelligent, understanding and empathetic in his interviews. All while fronting the best thrash band in years, maybe decades.
I've been watching a lot of Power Trip // Riley videos lately. My heart still really hurts and I've been crying here and there. I hope he knows how much he was and still is loved. Will never stop jamming to Power Trip. We will never forget you.
In total shock from the news. Power Trip was the band that got me back into metal after i had abandoned for years. He was all about compassion and seeking common ground. The embodiment of metal in its purest form. RIP R.
Riley was one of the coolest most down to earth guy's out there! I wish I could of bumped into him somewhere around Dallas just to have talked with him.. He was wise beyond his year's! "We the people" Will miss you dearly!🌟 RIP RILEY 🤘💔😪🖤 Much Love to his family during this sad time!♥️🙏🌹
This was great. New fan of Power Trip, and Riley seems to be a really cool guy. Thanks for the interview, definitely helps pass time and provides me entertainment during times like this....
Watch the video on TH-cam. "Metal Frat Power Trip show from 2013" in Ann Arbor, MI. Watching it, it's like watching a whole 30 minute music video of Power Trip. Perfect way to remember how much shred Power Trip had in small room shows. Riley Gale will never be forgotten. \m/
He was absolutely right...that third album was going to be huge for them. They paid their dues and played all over the world. They were on the tips of everyone's tongue, at least those of us metal fans that could recognize the real McCoy. They were hitting all their marks and that next album was going to be massive and launch them into the stratosphere into the rare air of the Lamb of Gods and Panteras. Imho. They still may with Seth Gilmore, maybe. I certainly will be rooting for them but it won't quite be what it was with Riley.
Yeah one of the few relatively new bands that I really got into - Nightmare Logic is an amazing record start to finish. Short but brutal - it’s got an almost hardcore punk aesthetic. And these guys have very eclectic music tastes well beyond metal and hardcore, which really excites me.
You can tell Riley was probably Drunk in this interview my fear is that he got into heavy drinking during the lockdown and ultimately it got the best of him. I have come to this conclusion because of his last story on his personal Instagram account was very depressing only hours before his death. Rest in Power legend a victim of the system
septembrgirl I screenshotted it. Its a picture of a bunch of some molting cicadas leaving behind their previous exoskeleton on the ground and there’s some words that are “A Graveyard of life? Birth. Life. Death. Repeat. The goal is to manifest higher than before.” The story was dated to the night of the 24th the night he died I can only assume but the worst might be true.
I think Riley would have really dug and been able to develop his politics if he had discovered dialectical materialism. What a loss for metal. He would have written some great political songs. RIP Riley. I hope they continue the band in his honor.
I know I’m flabbergasted by his views. Made me disappointed. He’s so against rape and etc, yet that place was breeding ground for rapists and scum bags. SMH. Same age as me, but he had his whole view on the world ass backwards. Still will definitely miss his voice in the metal world.

The interviewer looks like he stole his older brother’s hat for this interview. Haha.
35 is way too young. You’ll be missed.
Rest In Power.
So going to miss him. Heartbreaking 💔
What a sweet human.

Anyone know what band logo that is on Riley’s hat?
RIP Riley. You will be missed.
Record label called Lockin Out
smart guy
I miss you bro, may you rest in peace
So sad you're not with us anymore...
This sucks. So young, so powerful and a voice for change. This sucks so bad. You will be missed. Greatly.
Why is his voice more higher pitch in this interview
Riley you fucking rule. Rest In Peace.
Awesome interview - Support POWER TRIP - make sure Riley doesn't need to move in with his folks!
This comment hurt
The Former Channel I know man
Rip brother
Riley’s entire life and wellbeing revolved around Power Trip. He didn’t write much of the content, but he brought EVERYTHING to life. Rest in Power.
If I'm not mistaken he was the main lyricist in the band.
He pretty much wrote all the lyrics.... which means he painted their entire theme... so... what the hell are you talking about...
Rest In Peace
Riley and Power Trip RULE 🤘🤘🏿

That is so sad. What did he say in his Instagram story?

Colton Frogge Wow, that does sound a bit ominous. I hope he is in a peaceful place and didn't suffer.
@@shillian4770 Do you have a link for this. Not that I don't believe, but I would like to see it for myself....
@Colton Frogge What's Riley personnal instagram?...
I think Riley would have really dug and been able to develop his politics if he had discovered dialectical materialism. What a loss for metal. He would have written some great political songs. RIP Riley. I hope they continue the band in his honor.
Dunno bout trapt music but love their views
RIP this sucks
He called the CHAZ peaceful? WTF?
I know I’m flabbergasted by his views. Made me disappointed. He’s so against rape and etc, yet that place was breeding ground for rapists and scum bags. SMH. Same age as me, but he had his whole view on the world ass backwards. Still will definitely miss his voice in the metal world.

Industry people probably got some brainwashing in him. God bless him still.
He fell off the deep end. Great music but he tapped into that modern leftist insanity. Shame
R.I.P. Riley Gale & Greatings to Power Trip from Khollasuyo Bolivia....old school headbangers.. All Life's Matter!!.... I'm sorry
For something that I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I don't know who
You blame me for slavery
A hundred years before I was born
Guilty of being white...."Guilty of being a "THUG" Black Lifes Matter"....
I heard he has been killing it lately.
F
WTF man... wtf... RIP
i know they killed him
bom bom bom...another one bites the dust. 😆
You are some kind of special. Do some magic.
Childish fool.
Rest in Power
Rest in power
These interviews hit so different now :(
RIP Riley
Rest in Power
