I had a deal with my brother that I would see Tool with him if he went to the Suicide Silence show with me. I don't remember the year to be exact, but it was before The Cleansing. As Blood Runs Black, This As Blood and Katatklysm were playing. My brother has recently passed, but I am forever thankful that i have memories like this to look back on. Suicide Silence will always have a special place in my heart because I saw them TWICE in the Mitch era with my brother. Don't ever take your loved ones for granted because you will never know when they will be gone.
It was based off of the EP that I was trying to book the guys on the Navajo Nation, but being a young and dumb promoter, I didn’t have the funds to do it. I remember some a year after emailing them, I seen in Phoenix when Mitch was still doing his thing on stage and asked when they’ll play on the Navajo Nation, he said it would be rad, and if you know promoters that can help, let’s make it happen! Last year, the guys played on the Navajo Nation; bittersweet without Mitch, but I’m so glad to have them play for our Diné folks!
It's also so crazy that Mathieu Paquette from Beheading of a king and disfigured Elegance, passed around the same time as Mitch. He was really crazy talented too.
You’ve been under a rock. Or maybe not with mainstream fashion or fashion itself. Dudes been wearing Turtlencks for the last couple years already. They’ve been in style and popular recently since 2020
When I met Suicide Silence yeeeaarrs ago in Reno Nevada everyone was very humble and down to earth. By far the coolest guys in a major act I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I remember meeting their guitar tech at Starbucks and having a conversation about skateboarding completely by accident and then getting along really well so he gave me a backstage pass and the whole experience rekindled my love for musicianship. In a way these guys saved me from the corporate world and reminded me again of who I really was. Mad respect from me always for Suicide Silence.
On that humble part, my band opened for Suicide silence when they last came to Brazil and they're truly one of the most humble bands ever. They let us enter the space that was reserved for them, talked to us, watched us sound check, gave us coffee (which I drank a lot that day) truly the most humble band ever
This was a great insight, not only into the early days of SS, but into how Garza became Garza, and who better to tell us about it than Rick and Josh. Loved the dynamic between these 3!
I found Suicide Silence on myspace like many others back in the day. The samples were hilarious and influenced so many bands. It was incredibly satisfying when the band released The Cleansing without the samples and allowed the music to stand on it's own merits. One of the most influential deathcore bands of all time. Massive respect to you, Chris.
I love this episode it’s so cool so see you guys go down memory lane and talk about the early days of suicide silence one of my favorite episodes for sure
You gotta get Bodkins on the podcast! Would love to hear about his experience with the band. It was so sick hearing from Rick and Josh, probably my favorite episode so far
First off, I literally forgot to request this type of episode of the podcast. Before I was thinking about requesting this, but I just thought it was impossible to get this going. I also have to thank the people for requesting this and for Chris to do it after their pleads. I'm so glad that I get sit down and listen to two of the original members of Suicide Silence. In that case, get Mike on here, love to hear from him! Btw, this is literally the face reveal of Josh.
I would love to hear the records that inspired suicide silence to write the cleansing and no time to bleed. The two best deathcore records of all time.
Crazy how important these 2 seem to the bands history, Josh's excitement and off-kilter humor and Rick's musical drive and vision at the time seem to be what made the band what its been since
The best episode!!! Is awesome how the dynamic truned Garza from host to interviewed, on a regular bassis he is the one conducting the interview here is more and a back and forth. Love it.
Always knew about SS growing up but thought they were “too heavy”for my taste as a middle schooler lol. I remember reading online when Mitch unfortunately passed and feeling sad at how the scene lost an iconic frontman. But I’m rediscovering all the badass songs going down the SS rabbit hole. I missed out on those great moments but am glad the internet exists to give us videos like this! RIP Mitch
i always wondered what the former members were like since there is only so much footage of them. this was a great listen/watch meeting some of the people that helped lay the foundation of suicide silence. brilliant episode!
Suicide silence changed my life. My main inspiration for wanting to play guitar and play heavy music. Mitch was my first inspiration to start doing vocals when i first heard the cleansing in high school.
Really great conversation. It is really starting to blow my mind how many bands that are big now, were so close to failure and disbanding. Obviously everyone has to start somewhere, but the sheer force of will to keep going is impressive.
It was a great feeling in the room as well. You could hear a pin drop while Josh was telling his story about departing from the group. Much love to both Chris and Josh.
i love the dynamics of these individual friendships here. also that bit at @1:35:00 Garza doing a callout to the homie to hangout and catchup. sometimes you need to hit people back up and rehash things.
I'm really enjoying this as someone who was influenced by early suicide silence it's nice to see the brotherhood and connection and the whole going through the CD case it's amazing to see. I can promise you that I'm gonna go and listen to those albums to listen to who influenced who influenced me. Thank you guys for everything you do long live Suicide Silence and I'm definitely a fan of the podcast as well. Really great connection ❤
i once met the og bassist mike bodkins at a pool party in 2017 and got a pic with him and my friend when i was 15. Super cool guy to chat with and he was reminiscing on stories of him and Mitch on tour, I wasn't a fan of Suicide Silence let alone much deathcore at the time but little did I know how influential this band would become to me as I got older
Man, I love how you three go back in time and pull out the album booklet im class of 07 so I really can relate in a big way with the bands you guys listen to back in the day
My bands first show was with you guys at the Jerrys Pizza gig in Bako. I believe it was Sui, JFAC, The Taste of Blood and my band Amusia from the Additive Meter opened! Jan 2nd 2006! Thanks for the memories boys!
I drove with all my friends in our fucked up falling apart van for that Tehachapi show with the Warriors etc. we drove from the IE with like ten people in our van. I was sixteen years old. one of my favorite memories
It was a great show as a fan to see all of you guys on. It’s funny because I had been listening to your very early music when you all were in the band. So it was rad to hear this part of SS history that I never heard before.
I am surprised that this is the kid (giant man) behind the mask. I think he’s harder on himself than any of us, that style of drumming fit the sound for sure. The snare is legendary. I would not be surprised if the kid/giant man behind the mask now laughs like “muahahaha” !! Also Always wondered who the other guitarist in the destruction of a statue video was.. nice to put a face to name to the face.
Josh's humor is awesome! As a nu-metal dad, I only learned about Suicide Silence thanks to Doris, so now is the first time I hear Josh and Rick talk :))
I love how Josh has the demeanour of a Bond villain
I was thinking he could be the son of R.L. Stine, lmao
I was thinking more Jeff gold bloom
He has teh demeanour of grown up stewie griffon
😂
😂😂😂
Josh is well-spoken
Nice to have a place where our story can be told; we've gotten some new fans due to the podcast and we are grateful for it.
Suicide Silence lore lets gooo

Don't ever take your loved ones for granted because you will never know when they will be gone.
Sorry for your loss. Those memories are priceless.
r.i.p to your brother, sounds like he was awesome and loved..rest in power
Rest in breakdown’s 🖤
Rip man. Also Getting to see Thick as Blood was probably so sickkk I still get hyped when they come on in the car.
It was based off of the EP that I was trying to book the guys on the Navajo Nation, but being a young and dumb promoter, I didn’t have the funds to do it.

Did you ever book the band “Knights of the Abyss” from Arizona Tempe/ phoenix Area If I remember correctly.
This was a very beautiful podcast. Catching up with old friends in a healthy and productive way is so rare.
its refreshing for people to recognize this.
The only other band I can think of is Killswitch Engage.
Man Josh is such an intelligent, appreciative character and Rick is so calm and pure. Keep the contact with those guys Garza, those are real ones!
Much Appreciated🤙
When it comes to riffs Rick just gets it. Josh had the fastest transformation of any drummer I’ve ever seen 🤯
Josh’s sense of humor is great.
It's also so crazy that Mathieu Paquette from Beheading of a king and disfigured Elegance, passed around the same time as Mitch.
He was really crazy talented too.
Still my favourite vocalist to this day, he was absolutely incredible
Beheading of a King go hard
Something about a guy in a turtleneck saying I invented deathcore!!!
Especially when its not true at all
@@LiquidSun62 yeah they were pioneers but deathcore was a thing looongg before suicide silence
You’ve been under a rock. Or maybe not with mainstream fashion or fashion itself. Dudes been wearing Turtlencks for the last couple years already. They’ve been in style and popular recently since 2020
@@ch0king_victtimfor real. The Belgians started doing that shit in the 90s. Just look at Deformity and other H8000 bands
@@joeyuzwa891 nobody knows or cares who those bands are
This was great! These two definitely deserve the credit for getting Suicide Silence going.
Love hearing about the OG SS lore. Great episode🔥

Mad respect from me always for Suicide Silence.
Thus brought a tear to my eye.. I miss Mitch very much.
This was a pleasant surprise!!
i like this josh guy. he seems like a classy guy.
For real, watched the whole thing and stil can't believe that this dude was a deathcore drummer
LAKE ELSINORE IN THE MIX WITHIN THE FIRST TWO MINUTES
LETS GOOOOOO

They got it from grind and deathgrind, crust punk. A lot of those genres were the first to sample in extreme metal and core genres/ micro genres
I love this episode it’s so cool so see you guys go down memory lane and talk about the early days of suicide silence one of my favorite episodes for sure
I listen to this episode once a week , they both should be regular guests on the show 🤘🏻🔥
You can tell there's a lot of love and respect for Chris❤
You gotta get Bodkins on the podcast! Would love to hear about his experience with the band. It was so sick hearing from Rick and Josh, probably my favorite episode so far
All timer episode. Got me checking out Torn Within
S I C K !!
My 14, and 31 year old self thanks all 3 of you.
Should have these guys back on regularly
Yes 🙌🏽
I started listening to Suicide Silence in 05 when i was 14. Changed my life. Thank you. 🖤
Josh needs to have the most professional and classiest metal podcast
Man, I’d love to get my hands on that CD Binder and just have a sick music trip down memory lane
The Family Guy Demo story is hilarious lol

This is such a wholesome and honest episode. Easily one of the best.
Love this! It’s cool to hear the early days of Sui and how it all started. Very humbling and it’s great to see y’all are reconnecting again.
I bet Josh could do a killer Christopher Walkin impression.
I was thinking the same thing
The best episode!!! Is awesome how the dynamic truned Garza from host to interviewed, on a regular bassis he is the one conducting the interview here is more and a back and forth. Love it.
This one is legendary 🤘🤘🤘
Everything up to the 1st album was absolutely killer. The self titled EP is my personal fav.

Josh has one of those voices and speaking cadence that I could just sit and listen for hours.
This was a great show!
The OGs 🔥
Blood Has Been Shed is so underrated.
Really great conversation. It is really starting to blow my mind how many bands that are big now, were so close to failure and disbanding. Obviously everyone has to start somewhere, but the sheer force of will to keep going is impressive.
Always looking forward to these episodes, man. Cheers!
Definitely my favorite episode Chris 🤘🏼 enjoyed getting to know more about the bands history and hear more about Mitch
we need a og suicide silence tour be so dope have new and old like memorial show switching out
Was waiting for this for forever!
Great interview 🤘🏽love every second . Garza’s podcast is one the best Metal podcast 🙌🏽
We need a torn within x SS tour ❤
Torn Within would love that.
This might be the best one yet Fucking Incredible
It’s amazing to see the OG’s on the podcast! How awesome is this.
It’s crazy to think I was at the Denver show where Chris and Rick reconnected. I’m definitely gonna check out the torn within show here
Adam, hope to meet up with you.
Josh should voice audiobooks!
What a great episode. These guys have a special story and we get to hear it. 🤘🏼🔥
I think it has to be said, we need a fun super brutal side project with these three. Get a filthy vocalist and just put out a fun EP
Chris, Josh, lets do it.
Yes please 🙌
Please please please do this. I would kill for that.
@@tornwithin 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 Also stoked on this cast for reminding me of Torn Within I haven’t heard y’all in YEARSSS. New single is sick 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
@@christianmichael3120 The Torn Within track called "Crypsis" came out last year. It sounds like where SS left off in 2005.
Such a good episode. Idk why but I got emotional throughout. Loved to see you guys reconnecting and reminiscing. Spectacular vibes 🖤🤘🏽
It was a great feeling in the room as well. You could hear a pin drop while Josh was telling his story about departing from the group. Much love to both Chris and Josh.
This fucking episode was fucking amazing guys!
@CHRIS GARZA Can you maybe get one of these local IE bands: "UNDERNEATH THE GUN", also "SLEEPING GIANT" or "XDEATHSTARX" or "WINGS OF PLAGUE"
i love the dynamics of these individual friendships here. also that bit at @1:35:00 Garza doing a callout to the homie to hangout and catchup. sometimes you need to hit people back up and rehash things.
Its nice hearing bakersfield and jerrys pizza brought up. My hometown, great podcast ep.
Pretty lit to see old friends forget past grudges and rebuild friendships. Great episode.
Thank you for the notpop shout out and so many great memories!

What does korn have to do with any of this
@@dreck250 ss are huge korn heads
What an awesome podcast.
I love how people in the metal scene have changed COMPLETELY since the early 2000s. We were such dicks back then. I'm glad we've grown up.
@@abdo19code People are still dicks. You've just become desensitized like most of us 🤣
This was awesome. Have these guys on again. Much love

7 angels 7 plagues is so underrated and unknown for how influential they were
This is sick! Always wondered about the old drummer. Him and his mask was such a funny and awesome part if the band aesthetic.
I drove with all my friends in our fucked up falling apart van for that Tehachapi show with the Warriors etc. we drove from the IE with like ten people in our van. I was sixteen years old. one of my favorite memories
Josh looks like what i can only assume all of Sleep Token look like.
Lol facts
Best episode hands down, also torn within is fucking sick
Josh is great 👍 I could listen to him speak for hours 😃
Really enjoyed this, great content Chris
Rick looking ready to hit a 4 minute mile then get in the pit.
Josh needs to start an ASMR channel
That was awesome.
I remember going to Ozzfest 2006 and standing next to Josh at the pit .
Dude I remember watching suicide silence play in Indio California before you guys got signed way back. Oblige was playing too, sick ass show
I was definitely at that. With my friend that past away Sam he was a Coachella kid. Lived in That area
This is like finding a childhood toy and all the memories cone back. Half my life ago these guys had an influence on me
3 seconds in and I remember Peter speaking before filthy breakdowns.
It was a great show as a fan to see all of you guys on. It’s funny because I had been listening to your very early music when you all were in the band. So it was rad to hear this part of SS history that I never heard before.

its cool anchos was brought up.. i have a memory eating there when i was like 15 convincing my grandma to let me go to a suicide silence show haha
very emotional chapter,loved it.
Love this. 🤘🏼
Josh's humor is awesome! As a nu-metal dad, I only learned about Suicide Silence thanks to Doris, so now is the first time I hear Josh and Rick talk :))
Usually i don't even comment on TH-cam, but i have to say it, josh grew up into a family guy character, and he's awesome
I remember the 05 Sacramento shows.. the good ol days
Did you see Elysia ? Back then there from Sac. 2005-2007
Elysia was my favorite band from SacTown
