Ive never seen a guitar player with such a fucking majestic presence on stage as Robert Vigna. All his little mannerisms with his body and his guitar upstroke, its perfect. Certainly one of the best and most consistent death metal bands of all time...
Ross is the man. The two times i got to see immolation live, he was always so happy to talk with the fans. He must have shook my hand 6 times, the both times i got to talk to him. My favorite death metal vocalist 🤘🤘
Ross Dolan is truly a monster in vocals..you know..truly awesome...you know what I'm saying? Heheheheh. Much respect to Ross Dolan, this guy is one of my favorite vocals out there.......you know?
Immolation are one of my top three death metal bands ever along with At The Gates and Morbid Angel. They have never gotten the recognition they deserve for some reason and I don't think they ever will. They routinely blow far more famous bands out of the water.
Immolation aren't the most popular band out there, but anyone who knows their shit knows what a behemoth of a band they are. Same goes for Incantation.
_Close To A World Below_ is the album that made me an Immolation fan and I still think they've yet to top it. I miss Alex Hernandez on the kit. Dude was a beast.
Alex was great on Failures for Gods and Close to a World Below, he wasn't the most technically proficient drummer in the way Steve was but he was great at blast beats. There was definitely a rawness in his drumming that they don't have with Steve, but then again Steve enables them to play much more intricate and well arranged pieces of music than Alex could.
Ross and Bob are the coolest, level headed dudes in Death Metal. Had the pleasure of meeting them on several occassions (at shows) and are always a class act every time. Been a big fan since their 2-song demo in 1988 (when in high school). They stay true to their "guns" with every release and every album is brutal as hell! What more can you ask for from a Death Metal band? They will always be my sentimental favorite! Stay brutal!
Yeah, they are two super cool dudes. Met bob and Ross several times at shows and they are the most humble, down to earth guys who love hanging out with fans.
One of my favorite death metal vocalist, you know, and "Failures for Gods" one of my top 5 albums, you know, and "Fall from a High Place" one of my top 3 best song ever. You know!.
I have been listening to them since the early 90s...and thats exactly what got me listening...album cover art....them were the days! Seen them live multiple times. Good humble guys.
Been a fan since album one. Have always managed to miss them live, for reasons of money, time or both. That said, the man, despite his niceness and approachability as a person, has the voice of a human flamethrower. One of the THE BEST harsh, yet totally understandable voices, no mean feat in DM. Their topics DO get tired after some 10 albums of anti-Christian ethos. But the MUSIC??! DUDE. Bob Vigna's riffs sound like a record left to warp in the sun. NEVER heard such a serious incorporation of pinch harmonics as songwriting, and it fucking WORKS. And they've always been blessed with great drummers, guys who used the WHOLE kit and unique patterns. Just, great band. You know (Christ, I counted it 6 times in 3 lines and 15 sec's LOL)
My favorite Death Metal band, since their inception. Your music, videos and concerts are amazing!! I particularly love Ross's growl..that blows me away still, even though I've been listening to Immolation for years.
No other band had as unique a sound signature as Immolation, some legendary ones had distinct sounds but was copied\influenced in other bands. Noone was like Immolation and noone ever could copy them. One of my all-time favorites.
I gotta say, way back in the tape trading days, when i got a vhs performance of dawn of possession show, those drums were so organic, like nothing i ever heard (live) it kept me as a fan throughout all these years. Of course their compositions became crazier and complex to follow but still, their drums from that was really crazy for me.
First time was Flint mich....like 92? amazing show..I bought a copy of every drawing Vince Locke had ..also saw exploding zombies at that show..what a treat..
Great band, seeing them at Blue Jay Bowl in Menasha Wisconsin, With Incantation and Goraphobia way back in the day, my 1st experience with this band, very awesome show.
To me Ross is just as cool as John Tardy, Glen Benton, Corpsegrinder, Chuck Schuldiner., Steve Tucker/David Vincent, Piotr Wiwczarek... and very few others. Really unique. Great frontmen in the genre. Shred shit dude I,,I_
I was listening to shit like Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax,etc but then starting seeing MTV videos from bands like Kreator, Sepultura, Napalm Death. Went to the store ended up buying Death (Spiritual Healing) and Napalm Death (Harmony Corruption. That got it started for me.
Ross “You Know” Dolan.
He is family of Jon Nodveidt you know.
You know, i might have not noticed if you never said anything but now its all i can focus on, you know lol
I know.
My brain did not realize how often he says you know until I read your comment lol. love this guy though, you know?
If you once hear that "you know" you can unhear
Ive never seen a guitar player with such a fucking majestic presence on stage as Robert Vigna. All his little mannerisms with his body and his guitar upstroke, its perfect. Certainly one of the best and most consistent death metal bands of all time...
Rob is amazing, I am no guitar player but the way he plays is just mind blowing.
I love the way he throws his guitar neck around on string bends and pinch harmonics... He's an absolute badass
Totally!!! He is by far my favorite guitar player to watch. And his riffs are so deadly!!
Immolation have been my favourite DM band since I was 17... I'm now 47, and they still are!
Ross is the man. The two times i got to see immolation live, he was always so happy to talk with the fans. He must have shook my hand 6 times, the both times i got to talk to him. My favorite death metal vocalist 🤘🤘
Yes, he works the merch table and talks to fans. Love that!
The real thing - no posers, no trends and hard work. Dissonant masters.
People who unironically call people posers are giant dorks.
@@wowno5763 look at Wow no jr.. gonna cry?
@@milesmorales3268 is this your whole schtick?
@@wowno5763 I'm going to put some dirt in your eye.
@@milesmorales3268 ahh, i see.
Yes, he knows.
Amazing band with a distinctive band sound, how many bands can say they have a sound in Death Metal? A few, and Immolation is one of them.
Nile and Obituary are the other ones
MMA king gorguts.ulcerate.portal.pyrrhon
Gorguts, Ulcerate, Demilich, Blood Incantation, Cosmic Atrophy, Drakkar, Howls of Ebb, Emptiness, Chthe'ilist, just to name a few more.
morbid angel? cryptopsy, incantation, sarcafago, cannibal corpse,
Atheist, Cynic, Bolt Thrower, Hooded Menace, Ceremonium, Obscura, Mithras, Carcass, Flourishing.
Ross Dolan is truly a monster in vocals..you know..truly awesome...you know what I'm saying? Heheheheh.
Much respect to Ross Dolan, this guy is one of my favorite vocals out there.......you know?
Immolation are one of my top three death metal bands ever along with At The Gates and Morbid Angel. They have never gotten the recognition they deserve for some reason and I don't think they ever will. They routinely blow far more famous bands out of the water.
Coincidentally my top 3 death metal albums would probably be Here in After, Blessed are the Sick and The Red in the Sky is Ours.
at the gates? they suck balls....
Immolation aren't the most popular band out there, but anyone who knows their shit knows what a behemoth of a band they are. Same goes for Incantation.
@@ButcherYourMom Agreed, the entire melodeath subgenre sucks tbh
@@abscessedcadaver8221 Give Intestine Baalism a try.
So Vigna writes the entirety of the music himself? That dude is impressive as hell.
He's pretty talented, you know?
@@PatrickSilent For me Bob Vigna is one of the most underrated guitarists around...
@@AlexHevari One of all time death metal greats. And metal in general too.
He my uncle lol he’s really good
One of the best guitarists in metal ever
New York Death Metal - you can't ask for more.
Best growl vocals!!!
_Close To A World Below_ is the album that made me an Immolation fan and I still think they've yet to top it. I miss Alex Hernandez on the kit. Dude was a beast.

Immolation is underrated, the quality of their work is amazing!
Underrated? By whom? In the death metal community they are highly praised and regarded as one of the founding bands of the genre.

One of my favorite vocalists! what a cool guy xD I love Immolation
Y O U K N O W
one of the few death metal bands that have it all- great band
ross is a cool dude
I know.
Boy do i remember buying records based on the cover. I bought here in after as a kid from Colombia house mail order.
One of my favorite death metal vocalist, you know, and "Failures for Gods" one of my top 5 albums, you know, and "Fall from a High Place" one of my top 3 best song ever. You know!.
Ross and Bob are so great dudes. It was amazing to know them. Immolation, so great live band. Respects from Chile.
I have been listening to them since the early 90s...and thats exactly what got me listening...album cover art....them were the days! Seen them live multiple times. Good humble guys.
Your work is incredible Ross! Timeless music...thank you

immolation. Straight Outta... Yonkers...
Such rad fellas and an insane live performance!!!!
Ross was such a huge influence for me thank you bro \m/
Suffocation, Immolation, Incantation - thats how i started
if the band name doesn't end in "-tion" it's not True DEATH METAL :P
@@KeymoEmbryo Don't miss Imprecation.
Got to see imprecation back in the early 90's. Played at a local club in Corpus Christi. They kicked ass!
Mortician
basically NYC death metal?
My favorite Death Metal band, since their inception. Your music, videos and concerts are amazing!! I particularly love Ross's growl..that blows me away still, even though I've been listening to Immolation for years.
No other band had as unique a sound signature as Immolation, some legendary ones had distinct sounds but was copied\influenced in other bands. Noone was like Immolation and noone ever could copy them. One of my all-time favorites.
I met Ross Dolan at a merch booth and he was super nice and polite.
Is there an Immolation song with the title track "You Know" that I may not know of...?
There is one called, The devil I know
Ya know the devil
My best singer of all times!!! And the most unique band of the History 💪😃
That's why it's beneficial to have multiple music projects as a musician.
The First Album for me was what got me into Death Metal was "Failures for Gods" !!!...It's even Tattooed on my Arm. IMMOLATION RULES. !!!
You Will all be fooled!!! When he reveales himself!
Increible que se haya influenciado por Steve Harris, un gran bajista de todos los tiempos
Ross you know Dolan
This is the best lineup Immolation has ever had!
(Ross surprisingly) What?!
I don't know, please explain :(
Yeah, what’s that about?
That ending never fails to have me lmao, you know?
Yes, Ross, I know, and every fan knows that you guys are a treasure.
So cool that Ross and Will Rahmer were good friends, just a nice little tidbit imo
Saw them onstage back in 2000. It was more then 20 years ago... Always the same personalities, really into their music. Love these guys.
great interview!!

A legend
lmao you fuckers are killing me with the "you know" jokes XD
Immolation top 5 albums are just top tiers ❤❤
Been a fan since the beginning. They have always had a different but really cool sound.
"What?" Nice ending. :)
yes, Ross, i do know.
So much respect
Great band, seeing them at Blue Jay Bowl in Menasha Wisconsin, With Incantation and Goraphobia way back in the day, my 1st experience with this band, very awesome show.
Great material.
5_years_winter paul rudd
ROSS DOLAN parece una persona maravillosa y sencilla!!
LONG LIVE IMMOLATION!!! \m/
35 years of existence and they have yet to release a bad or even mediocre album. Top notch death metal
Been one of my top bands since the first few notes of Into everlasting fire.
Immolation is the living proof that Death Metal is alive. Legendary!
Very informative and cool video. One of the best endings to a video I've ever seen! Hahahahaha! 🤘🤘🤘
Ross Dolan looks and sounds like Paul Rudd
To me Ross is just as cool as John Tardy, Glen Benton, Corpsegrinder, Chuck Schuldiner., Steve Tucker/David Vincent, Piotr Wiwczarek... and very few others. Really unique. Great frontmen in the genre. Shred shit dude I,,I_
Letal brutal amazing band
Greetings from colombia
This has to be out on DVD I wanna buy it of it is.
For some reason i see a resemblance to Paul Mazurkiewicz
They both say you know a lot
Hahaha! killer end \m/
I want to know :(
@@xdeathmetalbassistx Erm... Sorry man, what do you want to know?!
I threw my burrito into the ground..it felt appropriate
Its's the most extreme band ever, and Dawn of possession is a master piece
You know who he really reminds me of? You know who Nathan Explosion is?? You know if Nathan Explosion played bass he would be this guy. Ya know
Nathan looks like a crossover of Ross Dolan and Corpsegrinder hahah
*My intro to Immolation was catching them in a show with Dark Funeral, Cannibal Corpse & Black Anvil.*
Ross Dolan is the most New York guy of all time, pretty cool he has the most demonic growl ever.
Great vocalist !
Nice guy
Where is the rest of this?
God tier Death Metal.
Meet Ross back in the 90's for dawn of possession tour cool asf the whole band real cool dude's
Hahahahaha the end is brilliant!
Yonkers represent!!!!!
that SLURP at 4:57
Me lo repito!! ROSS MASTER FOREVER!! \m/ 😍😘
Me gusta la parte donde dice You Know
0:37 Song name? Thank you early
Fostering the divide, on the album Atonement
@@Moth-ManRemasters 666 Thanks bro
5:32 most amount of "you know"s ever recorded
0:39 sec name of the song please
Obviously a gentleman; and of course, true professional.
The "you know" drink game
How cool would be a conversation between Ross and Michael Romeo, you know?
Where's the full version?
i been looking for it too lol
The ending is perfect 😂😂😂
Where is the rest of the interview?
YOU KNOW
Ju nou?
Is there a scientific study on why metal musicians say “You know” so much?
Hey... At least it's not "like". lol
If I had to guess it's because a lot of musicians are shy or socially awkward and use a lot of filler words when speaking
how many "you know"s are there?
L O V E I T T !¥! I M M O L A T I O N !¥!
Fuck yeah, Maiden.
I know I like this band...
I was listening to shit like Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax,etc but then starting seeing MTV videos from bands like Kreator, Sepultura, Napalm Death. Went to the store ended up buying Death (Spiritual Healing) and Napalm Death (Harmony Corruption. That got it started for me.
Ross Dolan is probably the nicest guy in the scene. A close second is Jason netherton
Immolation & Suffocation. New York Produced some Great Ones I Tell ya
im so drunk from taking shots every time ross says "you know" you know?
