This interview gave me such anxiety to watch because the two fat bearded guys kept interrupting Jason and they seemed to more concerned with hearing themselves talk than allowing their guest to talk. I couldn’t even make it all the way through. Maybe they read this and other similar comments and learn how to interview. That said, I’ve been a SO and Jason Cruz fan since 95’, and while I’m partial to the earlier stuff, I love that the guys continue to push the creative envelope after so many years.
To the person above . These are common sense talking points. Stop being divisive. The scene lost its way, everyone parrots the craziest liberal agenda and 1/2 don’t believe it themselves but are afraid to speak up. Not punk at all. You let the pits go soft and ruined shows. Anyway, Jason is the best. I witnessed the over saturated tour schedule and crowds decline. I was at a show in Brooklyn thinking “this is Strung Out! Where is everyone?”… but I had just seen them a few months earlier so I realized why. Jason is a real one, often strains his voice. Crowd singing helps him out sometimes. After that show he thanked me for singing every word with him. That really meant the world to me. Thank you Jason and Strung out!
This guy " BIG JAY" is a joke, him and his co - owner at the Garage Bar un Ventura let me almost get beat to deat by some lame reggae band they let play at their establishment and sadly on the very same night a good girl friend of mine was killed leaving their bar. Friends all over Ventura were very upset about what they allowed happen to me. When I got out of the hospital this goon Big Jay came looking for me to fight me cause everyone was boycotting their bar for what he and Dave allowed to happen. F these guys but love you Jason Cruz!!
Really? That's how it happened? I wasn't at the bar that night. Your skinhead racist remarks, while you were black out drunk, is why you got beat up. But your still trying put the blame on others. Like I suggested when we talked maybe you should go to a meeting and get sober. Maybe some therapy. Help you work on the truth and deal with whatever is causing your delusional behavior.
Right on, that's Y I dropped out. I've learned way more on my own. Fk school! Fun fact- pregnant women who R more content, happier w their men end up w sons.
This makes me want to vomit. When "Big Jay" and Dave took over the GARAGE they vowed to never allow punk rock bands. Have zero business doing this interview with Jason.
Yes, we decided to go in a different direction. Sorry that it's not what you want. GIGI is doing a lot og good shows and so is Mrs Olsens. Because we chose a different direction for our bar doesn't mean I can't have a conversation with someone. Hope you have a good day.
In the 90s it was rage against the machine and punk was anti mainstream. Now it’s rage on behalf of the the machine. You are in a brainwashed cult if you can’t see see it
@user-uo9mm3yv4x For real. He missed the opportunity to discuss the importance of correct pronouns, how strong and smart Joe Biden is and how he definatly got 85 million votes in the most free and fair election of 2020. And to yell at everybody for not still wearing Covid masks. The music is gonna totally blow chunks now. 30 years of a killer punk rock band legacy right down the drain
Been a strung out fan for 25 years, this was an awsome interview, probably the most ive ever heard him talk

True punk legend, and it’s great to hear him talk. Thanks for doing this, awesome cast!
Would have been nice to hear Jason talk.

And this crazy liberal agenda is?
Exactly @chadyoung7495 couldn’t have said any better.
Great interview. Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues is my favorite album of all time 🤘
I love that Jason quoted Jocko🤘🏼
Jason is the man! one of my favorite singers . Strung Out is one of the best bands ever!
Too humble. I wish Jason did his own podcast, at least for a time, that would be awesome
Think Jason’s voice healed during Covid also. Saw them play a few weeks ago and they sounded so good. I was shocked by his voice.
Been Strung Out fan since Teenage Wasteland Blues first came out. And they still are bad ass, one of the best.
The new Strung Out album is great, Rebellion. Keep your head up, it rocks.
Wish when they asked a question, they'd actually let Jason answer. Constant interruption.
Big Jay is clueless
China Lake!
Man, please let your guests finish their train of thought. Good questions and energy but a bit too much hasty interruptions from the hosts.

Having Children is the most egoistic act ever. Shame
Everything is egoistic when you think about it. I don't understand how anyone who is mentally sane would ever get upset over someone having a kid.
Very disappointing to see a hero succumb to conservative talking points. So much for all the good music
put your television in the bin.

He matured
He didnt succomb to conservative points. He just didnt succomb to the "progressive" dictatorship.
