Matt Pike is so chill. I met him for a second at the coffee shop I worked. He puts milk in his coffee which I didn't think was very metal for him, until I remembered he's Matt Pike, therefore anything he does is metal.
personally i think it's more unmetal to worry about other people thinking the stuff you do is unmetal. If you like milk in your coffee then fucking drown that coffee in milk.
@@KevinUchihaOG I met him outside of a High On Fire show in LA about a decade ago. He asked us if he could hit my friends joint, and then just walked back inside with it, haha
I also met him at a bar down in Nashville that was nearly abandoned. I actually didn't recognize him, it was just me and my two buddies in the bar and then he and Sleep. We bonded over having the same credit card, he was really chill and a nice guy.
I love Electric Wizard, heavy, gritty riffs man! Sleep was first for me tho and its the reason I got into EW eventually, EW, goatsnake, reverend bizarre, kyuss and elder
I've said it before but Matt Pike needs his own show on Vice or Adult Swim where he can go off on whatever topic he wants to, bring in bands or talk about lizard people. It would be insanely entertaining.
Am I the only one who loves the fact whoever wrote Pike's wiki page made a point of it being known one his most notable things about him is "He is well known in the metal scene for never wearing a shirt during live performances"
Matt Pike looks like the coolest uncle on the planet... met him at a Toronto gig a few months back, and was pleasantly surprised by how nice of a guy he was
How the hell did Matt deliver the line "Yeah I'm pretty stoned right now" In the most concise and sober way possible. Dude could probably eat a whole pack of weed gummy bears and give a damn lecture
I saw Sleep in a small pub back in 1995. The whole legend of "Dope Smoker" was alive and filled the air. This was before the recording and the mess, pain it caused them. It was a good show, good time. Matt was a good guy.
I honestly expected his shirt to mysteriously disappear during the interview, do to the fact that no shirt is capable of containing that level of awesome for very long.
gabattaz1 haha that'd be interesting.. I've never looked but I don't know if there'd even be much about him on Wikipedia to see if it's right or wrong since he's not as well known...some lesser known musicians and other people there isn't much on Wikipedia about them if there's even a page for them in the first place haha. Fuck it I'm actually gonna go look him up on there now after I finish this video 😂
Just looked haha..pleasantly surprised there is a bit more than I kind of expected lol. Only thing is I didn't see much of anything about his personal life unfortunately, mainly just his musical career.
One of the best comments I’ve seen on youtube. I’m half waiting for him to drop the interviewer with a short clothesline and DDT and then sling Damien around his neck and strut the fuck out.
Matt Pike is the new Lemmy. Him and High on Fire will be an instrumental part of our lives in the future. Like Motorhead. Their music will be on commercials, tv movies, etc.
I wanna leave him in a Recording studio with Jimi Hendrix in his prime an ounce of weed and a few acid tabs and a drummer and bass player and listen to what they make.
Here is a fact, Matt Pike almost beat my ass in front of Casino El Camino in Austin, TX one year when both HOF and OM were playing SXSW and I suggested that all he had to do was join OM on stage and play Sleep songs.
Those Green customs were a bitch to maintain on the road. I read an interview that while they were into the tone, they kept having to be serviced. Most went to Al with Om, and Matt get more into Marshalls and modern Orange. I also wonder if they are still in storage, along with the old Laneys.
Mr M-Bag - So your dome/ears literally rang for close to a week after seeing them then? *Exactly* like mine did after seeing Motörhead (floor seats, about 8 rows back) at a smallish sized Concert Hall here in Toronto, many moons ago.

Hey I do that too. Guess I’m Metal. 🤟

when Matt says the new Sleep songs are really fucking good then they will be, this man never made a bad album
High on Fire and Sleep are my top two stoner metal bands. Matt rocks.
MrSpicyCoolDude Electric Wizard ?
electric wizard what?
If you want to hear good stoner metal with great riffs you should look them up !
I love Electric Wizard, heavy, gritty riffs man! Sleep was first for me tho and its the reason I got into EW eventually, EW, goatsnake, reverend bizarre, kyuss and elder

He's like an enjoyable version of Alex Jones.
He can bring in the guys from Blood Incantation, who are also into lizard people and ancient aliens. It would be insanity.
and a far more talented version too hahaha
Get him on the Joe Rogan podcast
Check it out with Matt Pike.... Or the Matt Pike Show.
Matt should have done the interview shirtless
oh my god i'm dying at work over this
LMAO.
This is actually one of the rare appearances in which he has a shirt on.
I couldn't even recognize him without seeing his beer belly and plumber's crack, really threw me off at first
happy to see the absence of both
I struggle with alcohol...ok cool lets interview in a bar
lol
Hey i struggle with porn, lets do an interview at a porn shoot
darren mcblack it's okay he suppresses his urge to drink with marijuana
😂
Do you see why most of the rockstars have so many issues with substance abuse?
"All I did was eat some ravoli, have some tea, and like now I'm doing an interview, and like...you know, I enjoy marijuana." --Matt Pike
Smash Thompson what a god
"I enjoy marijuana"
-Matt Pike
"I'm high right now"
In other news grass is green.
@@lunk5155 so is what matt smokes
A simple man
He put the “High” in High On Fire.
Am I the only one who loves the fact whoever wrote Pike's wiki page made a point of it being known one his most notable things about him is "He is well known in the metal scene for never wearing a shirt during live performances"
I remember seeing high on fire and thinking, "wow, shirtless right out of the gate!"
FREE THE NIPS!

In the most concise and sober way possible.

"I'm pretty stoned right now" lmao
woah wait one of the kings of doom metal enjoys weed? WHAT?!
Who woulda thunk it?
"Yes, I enjoy marijuana."
Would you call Sleep doom metal? Much more stoner metal. Doom metal is like Candlemass.
lMrFresno559l stoner metal/doom. It’s a subgenre. Candlemass is epic doom and sunn O))) is drone doom etc
@@lMrFresno559l "doom" is a really broad category. Check out dISEMBOWLMEMT, thats also doom.
I saw Sleep in a small pub back in 1995. The whole legend of "Dope Smoker" was alive and filled the air. This was before the recording and the mess, pain it caused them. It was a good show, good time. Matt was a good guy.
I love to see how much more fluid Graham's interviews have become. Keep up man!
Mark Krüger Lutz he really is a fantastic interviewer, convivial and likeable
He mentions Dez, High On Fire’s drummer. Such an underrated drummer
I have struggled with alcohol for thirty years and I quit cold turkey one month ago. No other drugs. It is hard I can tell you.
Great to hear! Keep on going on that path dude!
He could be Lemmy's American cousin. Kinda like him
And then there's Tom angelripper, the german Lemmy
pretty stoked about Sleep making a new record. can't wait to hear that.
fuck yeah Sleep. never expected them on this c hannel
Matt’s looking so much healthier now, good for him!!
Matt Pike is one of my all time guitar heroes. Sleep changed my life.
HOLY FUCK! HE ANSWERED THE QUESTION ABOUT JUSTIN MARLER BECOMING A MONK?! DOPE!
"oh I have a problem with alcohol" as they do an interview in a bar filled with alcohol 😂
I honestly expected his shirt to mysteriously disappear during the interview, do to the fact that no shirt is capable of containing that level of awesome for very long.
This guy... Matt has put so many hours of awesome riffs in my head - eternally grateful. much respect.
pls do Al Cisneros next!

Om.
Is it just me or is Matt Pike slowly turning into Jake 'The Snake' Roberts? Not a bad thing, just saying.

One of the best comments I’ve seen on youtube. I’m half waiting for him to drop the interviewer with a short clothesline and DDT and then sling Damien around his neck and strut the fuck out.
I fucking LOVE Matt's voice. I can't believe he was almost not the singer for High On Fire.
Just as cool as the day I met him in '89. Legend
Toni Iommi next
Tony*.
Toni - female (like Toni Gonzalez)
Tony - male
Women beater
Would never have guessed that he smokes alot of weed...
FluffPuff would have never guessed that you smoke a lot of pole
Asking Matt Pike if he enjoys marijuana is like asking a koala if it enjoys eucalyptus
Saw Sleep open for Neurosis in march, then Sleep again in october at the warfield and last night i saw OM in oakland Love it
Matt is like Ron Swansen's rebellious brother :)
I need these other versions of Dopesmoker. I need Space Dopesmoker!
Matt Pike for Presdient
Pike 4/20
Thanks for the interview. I've been waiting for the Matt Pike "fact or fiction".
Matt Pike is a god.
iron dehiem for real
We need a Dopesmoker boxed set, with all the versions.
New Sleep stuff and new High on fire stuff, looks like 2017 is going to be a fucking good year. Nice one.
I enjoy Matt Pike - Marijuana
KiLLeRHAnDs , haaaaaaa, best comment ! That rules
Matt is my spirit animal
Matt you need to hook up with the Trailer Park Boys and do some screen time.
Matt Pike, gen X’s Lemmy. What a guy.
Matt Pike is the new Lemmy. Him and High on Fire will be an instrumental part of our lives in the future. Like Motorhead. Their music will be on commercials, tv movies, etc.

Thank you for this!
This is the most real dude ever!
Fiction: Matt is wearing a shirt right now. Y'all must have added that in post.
He has the same speaking voice as Phil Anselmo. Damn.
So true!!
Matt speaks about 1.5 times faster though haha
Agreed. They both have deep ass, gravelly voices.
I love Matt! he is really nice in person.
soooooo stoked on this one
Here is a fact, Matt Pike almost beat my ass in front of Casino El Camino in Austin, TX one year when both HOF and OM were playing SXSW and I suggested that all he had to do was join OM on stage and play Sleep songs.
Asking if there's gonna be a lot of 12th fret work on the new Sleep material might have been the best journalistic question ever.
POskio66 sorry Im not a native speaker, what does he mean by saying "work on the 12th fret"?
@@tomchicken5878 every riff they play revolves around the 12th fret.
Sleep-Dragonaut. Best stoner song ever.
dopesmoker
That is good song too but personally dragonaut is my fav
Maiga Balalaiga then learn the difference between best and favorite.
ok. maybe you can be atleast nice to people who has same taste on music than you. :)
Thanks
I just gotta point out how good Matt looks. I'm glad he kicked the booze. HoF and Sleep are stronger than ever!
i miss lemmy :(
"Weed destroys your memory"
Matt: I was born in Southfield Michigan at Providence Hospital at 1:34pm
He even remembered what time he was born.
Not him, wearing a shirt.
hell yeah I've been requesting this one for at least a year now this is awesome!!
screw them
“Fuckin’ blew cawk.” - Matt Pike
Love this dude
Pike has the flag of Amsterdam tattooed on his arm, He is my hero.
Ron Ghoul CAN U CONFIRM THIS??????
Sick
For a second I was wondering what happened to Mike Watt. Two dudes are almost and anagram.
Al and Matt need to bust out the old Matamp gear for this new record
Those Green customs were a bitch to maintain on the road. I read an interview that while they were into the tone, they kept having to be serviced. Most went to Al with Om, and Matt get more into Marshalls and modern Orange. I also wonder if they are still in storage, along with the old Laneys.
Matt is such a cool guy
The video we all deserved
3rd time this has been suggested to me, and I still watch it everytime
Holy sh*t he looks Younger in the new interviews
I absolutely fucking love Matt pike.
He's wearin' a shirt! What in the name of all things holy went wrong that day?
“We put 10 long years into SLEEP. 89-97”
Matt Pike is great in math !
Matt is freaking awesome, love this guy!
I would buy any and all other versions of Dopesmoker.
The Clarity is sweet
"hey, Tall Guy, could you zoom in on that tattoo right there?' lmao damn
PIKE.
FOR.
PRESIDENT.
I saw high on fire a handful of times.... By FAR the loudest band I've ever seen...

Love Matt Pike! Dude is so cool and down to Earth
Matt can't stop fiddling with his mustache lol
Struggling with the hootch and they do a interview at a bar lol
This is so funny the other day i was just thinking his voice and a little bit his appearance reminded me of lemmy and there it is a tattoo of lemmy
matt would make an amazing actor
Why on earth was this interview done at a bar? Glad to hear he’s sober now, but Jesus Christ.
Dude is so cool
I love these segments. Wikipedia fact or fiction is great man.
"I'm stoned right now" - Matt Pike
This is the dopest one yet
Ya get it??? 😂
Ryan Wallick
*Ba-Dum-Tss*
"You enjoy marijuana."
"I dooooo."
On level 45 at the time of this interview. Holy Smokes.
Like Ron Swanson and Lemmy had a kid.
That fucking Lemmy tattoo. I'm jealous I didn't think of the idea.
Matt is a cool cat!
Damn, Providence Hospital in Southfield Mi., small world.
I’m from golden, drive by the military school and juvi almost every day lol
he looks like my aunt
Miss you Matt!!!!!!!🤘
Can't wait for new sleep
someday.... there will be a dance remix version of Dopesmoker!
Plays real, talks real! So little ego. Really like Lemmy in that way.
