Ok
Johnny is such a kind guy. I remember back in 2017 or so, I sent him some song ideas and he gave me great feedback. Such a nice and genuine guy even in a small interaction like that.
Finn, I was introduced to Bilmuri when you shouted the band out in 2019 and I couldn’t be more thankful that you did that. I haven’t touched a single roll of toilet paper since then and have traveled to 3 of their shows and I’m serious when I say Johnny has personally stayed after each of those shows to shake hands and talk to every single person that wanted to meet him. Didn’t matter if the show was at a tiny bowling alley bar/venue or a sold out show with 1200 people. You can really tell this dude cares deeply about his passion and his audience. Genuinely thank you for being the reason why I got to experience three of some of my favorite memories. There is no show like a Muri show.
same here, well said. Johnny is a legend.
dying at the TP comment 😂🤟
What about the toilet paper?
*FUCK WIPING*
bro got that dookie piling up in his pants 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
“Bilmuri is pop music for people with adhd” 😂😂😂
Most accurate summary of the band I’ve ever heard! 🤘
Correct
i have it, and i love bilmuri
I’ve never had a band turn into one of my favorite bands as quickly as bilmuri did. Wet milk was a game changer
Same here bro, my buddy showed me wet milk and I've been hooked.
The idea that Bilmuri follows the nuances/complexities of just being a person is spot on. Somber, silly, regretful, sad, joyful. So many emotions wrapped in tasty jams.
"Bangers to be depressed to" is a line I'll never forget haha.
I've spoken to Johnny after all 5 shows I've gone to and he is such a nice genuine guy. He obviously loves what he's doing and is actually happy to talk to fans. It's clearly not just an obligation to him. He actually wants to interact with us.
Bilmuri is made for me. The perfect blend of pop and hard music glad they have a term for it I can now call it "hard pop". Thanks for doing what you do Johnny.
Me and One of my best buds were going to see Bilmuri in Queens, and while we were chillen be the merch table Johnny came right up to us and just started talking to us about normal human shit, where good places around NY are, where he should tour next etc.. No ego, such a friendly guy, and a fuckin CobsSmacker of an artist. Will always remember that night
Bilmuri music is mature, fun, and accessible. I'm surprised it's not more popular...
It's only cause johnny doesn't market the band at all lol
Their monthly listeners on Spotify are steadily growing, they only had just over 800 when I discovered them and they're my favourite band hands down, the only other band I really listen to other than Bilmuri is Polyphia.
I adore Bilmuri. I didn't even know it was him when I first listened to it but it's just overall great and original music. Dude is talented af.
You are so right that Johnny is a good singer. I feel his voice is just as powerful as those nutty guitar riffs
Johnnys description of his titles vs music is exactly why I love Bilmuri. The titles are hilarious, but the meaning, depth, and emotion behind the songs themselves just always hits me.
One of the best things about Johnny is that while any artist can say that they’re grateful for their fans, you know that he means it. You know that he’s having the time of his life in the studio and on stage, and he doesn’t take it for granted.
Johnny is so based❤ last year he saw my 3yr old son on my shoulders and after the show he knucked me up and said my son is a legend. I will always keep that memory in my heart. Love you dude and thank you for what you give to this world.
Damn I didn’t knew the dude from Bilmuri was in attack attack, I never liked attack attack lmao, but I love Bilmuri a lot, I’m a massive DGD fan so I discovered him from the jon mess feat and this dude just keep gettting better
Johnny is an absolute legend already and continues to prove why he is a staple in the metal scene of the modern era.
This interview was absolutely great. Tons of great insight. Thanks for doing what you do, Finn!
The interview we’ve all been waiting for!
"I view trends as seasonings" sooo good!
I was huge Attack Attack fan back in the day, and was one of my big inspirations musically. So it's so cool to see that Johnny is still such a chill guy, Bilmuri are amazing too. Johnny you're a legend dude, God bless
Thank you, thank you so much for this interview/chat. The conversation about ego and artist's ego was such an important thing and both your input on the matter was a joy to listen to. All the things you talked about were so important and the fact that you are really funny but also really genuine and serious when the subject is serious is something I don't see a lot and I'm grateful for it.
PS, I hope one day you'll have Garrett Russell from Silent Planet on the show. I believe it can be a great conversation.
Been waiting for this!! I see a Johnny interview and I click faster than I wipe!! Finding Bilmuri is one of the best gems I will ever discover!! Johnny truly is great to his fans! Seeing them in Tampa was one of the best moments in my life! Right up front row in front of Johnny and Paul!! Wet milk is the first album I had heard the rest is history! I have never had lyrics hit so home with me as Johnnys lyrics, the album covers are funny , the song and album titles are funny but the music and the lyrics are S tier so happy to hear he’s planning on releasing 2 albums this year!! Absolutely luv hearing that!!
Great interview. Love the bit about “big things coming soon”. Super valuable information on this episode.
Yessss I legit got into bilmuri after the first podcast you did with him and they've been one of my faves ever since cheers finn and Johnny!
Awesome episode I’m happy to see him back on the podcast. Definitely felt that part about the dramatic rollout 😂
Finn. Thank you for having the HOGFATHER on
I found this band last September and they have already became my #4 most listened to on Spotify, thank you papa John 🙏
An interview so nice, I had to watch it twice
This made me so happy 😊
I watched this for a second time tonight - he's such a good dude, I hope he achieves everything he wants to in his career. I hope you can get him on again someday. Thanks Finn!
Awesome interview Finn!
I've been looking forward to this
Awesome interview!!
Finn you are the reason I first heard about Bilmuri. Bilmuri is now my favorite band and kicks so much ass. They were amazing live.
Great interview. Thank you Johnny for being so honest and a great guy. Bilmuri was my number 1 artist for 2022. I was addicted to Eggy Pocket and 400 lb Back Squat.
Hope to see you guys live one day.
Always a blast hearing you two chatting together. It’s amazing to see the growth for both of you since the first podcast!
I absolutely love Johnny he was such a chill dude to meet glad I drove up to Omaha to see Bilmuri and met Johnny!
this guys shines in everything he does. I believe his vocals are what made attack attack! so special. Bil Muri is gonna be around for a long time!
Your last interview with Johnny is still one of my favourites. This one was just as good. You two have a good chemistry and I could listen to you talk about anything.
Awesome interview, solid dude!
A great chat, seems like a genuinely appreciative guy.
Bilmuri got me through some of the hardest times of my life. Thank you
My friend introduced me to Bilmuri a few months ago and ive been listening to the Hog album on repeat ever since. I needed this music in my life at this moment and im so thankful i found it.
Johnny Franck is so rad.
John I love listening to your music while walking my puppy. It’s all full circle brother. Love you. Keep docking bruv.
Bilmuri is one of my favorite musicians and you guys talking to each other is really wholesome. He should feature you in an upcoming song 😳
I listen to full albums :( But damn great interview, I'm late to the Bilmuri train but I fell in love with Goblin Hours, love to find out that Johnny is a cool chill dude.
Good interview!
Johnny seems like such a humble human being. I wish this dude nothing but success and happiness.
I discovered his band very recently, ordered his 400lb CD album and been listening on repeat on streaming services. I'd love to see them live on a european tour and hope to enjoy his music for many years to come, it scratches an itch I couldn't even express :)
Wow! Such a journey since I first heard them back in 2016! I still love bilmuri and Jonny is such a cool guy
Love johnny and the community he creates
Hey Finn, love your videos!!
I really relate to what you say in 26:56. I started singing and screaming about two years ago and I am playing in my metalcore band with my high school friends. Guitarists tends to have a lot of riff ideas and not a lot of songs ideas. I always tell the two guitarists in my band that people will be more attracted to a good vocal melody then a bunch of guitar riffs. As a vocalist, I love to have an instrumental where it’s easy to sing something memorable and so, I think that bands should try to find a balance between catchy and heavy riffing moment. When I look at big bands like Metallica, this is exactly what they were good at.
Bilmuri is the only band ive gotten into in the past 5 years.. and it was when you shouted Johnny/them out back in that video you made back in the day!
Top ten breakdowns!
Nuggets of gold in this talk
I hadn't thought of it that way, but yeah. I think a lot of what pulls me into Bilmuri is just creative individuals sharing their creations without the need for the BS. It feels way more genuine that way. Good stuff!
Thank god we got some Bilmuri in here!
I listen to most artists i like through their albums. Albums used to be a cohesive piece of work meant to be listened to start to finish. That's how I've been getting into Bilmuri the last few weeks - just made a huge playlist with every album in order.
Literally - Bilmuri makes me so happy 🐗
The singer for Attack Attack! Hell yeah! Been a fan of bulmuri
Bilmuri is easily in my all time favs.
Finn said he’s gonna be kicking it up a notch 2023 he wasn’t lying
Johnny signed one of my shoes in 2009 at The Attic in Kettering, OH. I wish I still had that shoe.
Bilmuri is hands down my favorite band
Dope!
Bilmuri was my #1 listened to artist of 2022 on Spotify
I love Bilmuri. Discovered Bilmuri in 2020. Bilmuri has become one of my favorite bands. The only thing I didn't like in this interview is the assumption that people do not care about albums. I do. And I know several people who do. I have always listened to the whole album. And I hate when bands just release a single. I want to own the physical record. And listen to it in my car 800 times. That's how I have always done it. Always will. To each their own. But just wanted to say that their are people out there that love listening to an album. And still love the build up and the anticipation of a new album. But, again, love Bilmuri and will listen to whatever comes from Bilmuri. Haven't been disappointed yet. I just really hate that people have become so impatient and have such short attention spans that all they can ingest is singles. Great interview though!
Finn's out here speedrunning my spotify top artists lately. Deftones, Polyphia, Sleep Token, Bilmuri...
At this rate we get a Thornhill video and a new album from Spiritbox. Thanks again for helping me find most of these artists.
Watching this on my lunch break later.
Bilmuri has been my favorite band since its inception.
johnny is such a chill dude i love it
lets FUCKING GO THE KING
This episode was the best relationship advice I ever got. Thanks, dads.
Johnny is our national treasure
Johnny is a real one.
Finally, I asked for this band and you said very rudely you had already done it. I’m glad he came in
I don’t think I said it rudely
Good video!
So cool of Johnny to give a platform to Enpedestalment
I'm probably one of the last people who very much likes albums. I like things to all sound somewhat similar. And albums kind of have a cohesive vibe where all the production sounds similar and if the album is made right, like Goblin Hours, it's just awesome to listen through from the top all the way down to the bottom. I love it. And, it allows bands/artists to curate a journey through the music as an experience, rather than just 3 minutes at a time. I listen to tons of songs on their own, but still love an album as a whole. I'll get stuck on one particular album by a band all the time. Make Them Suffer's Neverbloom album, Reflections EXI(S)T album, Issues Beautiful Oblivion album as a few examples.
Bilmuri is an example of the broadness of the scene world. Also, that joking can have its origins in blink and so many bands kept that going up to this point.
Idk bro I was a huge blink 182 fan but the joking was way too much, I think that with Bilmuri is one more on point
Hell yeah!!!
I never listen to albums all the way through, but I put on Bilmuri’s new shit and listen to all six in a row…
Hell yeah, this is a dream guest on your podcast 🙌
I fucking love this band
Yes. Ling form vids ask the way 🙌
Hope johnny and bilmuri will not change a bit overtime. He the legend.
Legend 🦀
I LOVE BILMURI!!!
44:20 Johnny keeping it all about the CREAM OF THE CROP!
I’m definitely one of the odd ones who prefers to listen to albums. When I browse through all of the new releases each Friday, I rarely even look at singles. If I know an artist I like is going to be releasing an album and is putting out singles leading up to it, I will usually just wait until the album is out. I know that sounds ridiculous, but that’s honestly just the way I like to experience my music.
22:00 that shoegaze era was imo a result of Strymon shimverb/delay craze that just went nuclear on guitar forums in 2011ish. It's coming again because Vst's are cheaper but I think the public are burned out on it. Dubstep has come back again now with excision etc putting on INSANE cinematic shows syncing the graphics with guns, dinousars, lasers etc. It's nuts.
The scourge of shoegaze still haunts us 😫
Relaxingboxfanambientsoundpt3 will be played at my wedding and nobody can stop meeeee
Johnny has the best laugh lol He should put it in a song.
Legend
Finn dont have sure if you talked about them already but i really wanted to know your opinion of fleshwater and their first album
BILMURI IS SO GOOD
My Spotify streams paid for your dog, Johnny! 😂
❤
He's the cream of the crop
I LOVE MR FRANCK
