Was just introduced to YOB, and I decided to make the drive from El Paso TX to Albuquerque to see them in June, I can tell it’s going to be life changing
I could listen to Mike narrate the most boring thing in the world and still be captivated. Such an incredible tone to his voice. Can't wait to see them next week.
Same here, thankful for the support my mom gave me. Which was the same thing, she took me snd picked me up from shows, and bought me cds. Like he said, she didn't understand it but still supported even in small ways. My dad still doesn't understand, but I think he's slowly grasping why I love the music I do. Such a great band!
such a cool, humble dude, YOB are a fantastic band and I came pretty late into Doom and also in trying to teach myself how to play guitar as well. I think he really is right in trying out different musical styles, techniques, it helps you grow your musical vocabulary, but also yourself as a person: learn to appreaciate other styles, have another view on things and so forth.
Got into yob because mike gave me a copy of his first yob album at McKenzie music where he worked. I walked in looking for a guitar pedal and he gave me a copy of yob. Well, I didn't think much of it until I listened to it like 20 times in a week. It was a different sound and Eugene has embraced this culture of music. Its a perfect type of music for this city. The wow hall and other small venues embrace the bands the sound different yet eugene is a world of its own from country boys to hippies it definitely is a crazy place at times but its my home. Its very diverse but exciting.
Did he just say he learned from Bill Harkleroad, aka Zoot Horn Rollo of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band?? Absolutely did not see that one coming but I can sort of see it in his playing. So cool
Small town life sucks when you are different. Growing up in the early '80's listening to metal and being smaller than my piers meant being picked on alot. Jr. High sucked for me, being shoved into lockers, constant bullying.....until one day i said fuck this and i one punched a jock square in the nose and broke it. Shit stopped immediately after that. Mike, i can totally relate.
J. Gaal Kasiiv No they did there were allready previews with him on facebook but they just havent uploaded it yet.. wrest and his wife have a music shop thats closing down and thats what the video was going to be about

Fuck man, I love YOB, then they split up. Then I was stoked about MIDDIAN, before all the legal crap and had to break up. But then YOB got back together and it was all good again :D
Man, it bums me out that someone as cool as Mike had to suffer like he did. His musical ability is such a reward. Glad I discovered YOB for myself.
I just started listening to YOB because of these interviews. Never knew I liked them.
welcome to one of the best bands on the planet...
100%. One of the few bands that you could start anywhere with and not find a bad record.
I hike a lot. In the woods a lot. This stuff is perfect for that. I'm happy.

Y’all should stay after the show and meet Mike, I met him last year and plan to again. He’s a very nice person to talk to.
I just discovered this band and I’m blown away. I love the fact he’s not just metal but a student of all genres of music.

YOB is such an excellent example of great American metal. Thank you Mike.
Townes Van Zant....huge thumbs up bro!!!!!!

This man gets it. Really digging this.
How couldn't parents be proud of such a humble genius

This is so inspiring....thank you Mike, Travis and Aaron for your beautiful music.

Mike is a great guy. I've only seen Yob twice but both times he was a fantastic person. Very sweet.
Such a good guy. I've been lucky to have met him, so glad people like him are making such amazing music
Part 3. When??

Zoot = Zoot Horn Rollo of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band. Mike got taught right.
Now the world impatiently waits for the Yob cover of Big Eyed Beans from Venus.
Holy shit!

This makes me respect Sheidt even more. I can totally relate.
Great stuff!!
Very cool guy. Excellent songwriter. In heavy rotation. Hope to see live again soon as safe to do so
Real cool guy. Much respect.

@Stefan Smiljanoski Doom metal is also extreme metal

I didn’t know the was a part two.
Wasn’t there supposed to be 3 parts to this?
Very important that parents support their kids' interests. If they try to supress it, I imagine that's what creates real screw ups
What a top tier mother
Dude is an expert at friendly now lol
Wanna see that footage with Travis and aaron
Where is part three?!
So my dudes what happened to that jef whitehead video? Wasnt it supposed to come out 2 months ago?
REVOLVER, GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!

Sean VG

YOB I S L O V E

I find a lot of more interesting metal players have country backgrounds
please don't say John 5 lol he's ridiculously talented but his songs are ass. Brent Hinds on the other hand....
Bill AKA Zoot = Bill Harkleroad from Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band?
It's too short just release the whole thing at once.
I don’t know Yob for a long time, but I guess the sound in the background is from him too? Which song is it?
Beauty in Falling Leaves
tyrannus tuus erit pati thank you!
Bill Harkleroad?
ADHD is one of the leading mental disorders that bring people down(including me.) Music is the only escape!
Fuck man, I love YOB, then they split up. Then I was stoked about MIDDIAN, before all the legal crap and had to break up. But then YOB got back together and it was all good again :D
Open track name plz?
Nvm, it's "Beauty in Falling Leaves"
Mike, can we be friends?
Why does Mike look older than his own mother?
Umm I think I like this?
