Him and trey has a musical connection that totally leveled up metal music -- his style is original, not just the blasts but the fills and accents that accompany the riffs
I'm happy to hear this and happy for him that he found God. I'm a drummer of 28 years and was always amazed by his abilities and liked Morbid Angel for the sound, not necessarily the lyrics. I'm a christian and in a sense I always felt guilty listening to MA but at the same time I didn't take to heart what was being said through the lyrics. I just appreciate the sound. Now hearing of Pete's new look on life makes me appreciate him even more. Long live the original human drum machine - Pete Sandoval!!
The only reason MA was "Satanic" was for deconditioning. It was tearing down belief systems that didn't serve them. It was ridding themselves of guilt that was pressed upon them by Christians and others. Read the lyrics on Formulas...totally about Spirit. "The ways of the God Who Say'th "I AM THAT I AM" are Perfection!
I'm a Christian also. I fucking love God, and I do the same thing you do. I listen to death and black metal, all day. I never care about the lyrics, I just love the music.
Awesome. Totally awesome. I'm also going through a spiritual journey myself and where it will lead, I don't know. So I can totally relate to Pete. As far as religious conversions go, first, to each his own. Second, conversion or not, I will always love, respect and support Pete no matter what. Screw the haters for their hatred towards both Pete's conversion and the Illud album. Long life and well wishes to Pete. RIP, Jesse. Hail Morbid Angel and Terrorizer.
Pete is amazing. We got the opportunity to interview him for Slave To The Grind a few weeks ago, and hearing him talk about the early days was inspiring.
@@dfrossnessI'd say it's more to with age and the season they are in regarding their music career...there are many examples of musicians (of faith and without faith) around their age that have experienced a peak in the 80s & 90s and are now moving away from that peak. Dave and Pete are still playing well technically, Nicko is doing well despite his strokes
Satan is controlling the earth because god gave humans the free will and to make their own choices, but not for long. One day Satan will be defeated once and for all so we can all rejoice in Gods glory
Was a huge fan of Morbid Angel, Deicide, Obituary, Unleashed, Entombed etc etc myself until I found the Lord. Even though I am a Christian, I can still appreciate the artistry and creativity in Death Metal, especially old school Death Metal.
Peace Dweller I saw Unleashed, Entombed and Morbid Angel, April 1991 at El Paso, Tx. When Jesus Christ came to my life, everything changed. I just broke all my stuff I had. As you say, they are good musicians, but they do not glorify God
Morbid Angel was one of my first death metal bands, and quickly became my favorite band. Almost 20 years later, now as a Christian, I still love their albums! Even though much of metal doesn't glorify God, there's always pieces of Him in everything, and I've still continued listening to it. Thankfully the Lord's been merciful to me and hasn't convicted me otherwise. I actually think a lot of extreme metal (music, not lyrics) actually reflects the many dynamics of God.
Pete is extremely honest & though he had an inverted cross on his arm in the early years. But the drum work in M.A. & Terrorizer is epic no matter if he was a Scientologist today.. He was a mean beer drinker back in '92 when I met the 4 original members & had 15 min. of beer drinking & friendly conversation, no arrogance at all.. Brunelle was a very nice dude, it was extra sad he stopped in MA on Covenant. Pete was damn drunk at their soundcheck that afternoon. Insane he was able to perform same evening : ) Horns from Denmark
This is a voice of a man who's run out of addictions. he know what he's saying. this is nothing to do with god it's bind of knowing to stop. but in Pete life ,seems like god help him stooped.
When we are young kids getting in to this crazy music with all these crazy characters it generates we can lose sight of some very basic tenants of behavior that will reap more positive results. Pete has obviously reached a point in his life journey where he is reflecting on his life in a very deep way with the intention of changing the things that have brought pain and suffering. I can’t speak for anyone but myself, I believe most of us hit an age usually late 40’s when we realize the weight past decisions are making in creating any current negative issues. There are many paths to get an answer to the questions that arise during those times and this is Pete’s way to it. It’s the destination that’s important here, he’s in a better place spiritually and physically which means we are in for a treat when this guy gets behind a drum kit.
so happy to hear pete found the Lord Jesus. I've been a huge die hard fan of pete since 88' very blessed to know he's doing well and still shredding on drums! I got saved in 92 not after being a huge fan of all the earache and grind core scene. Still a huge metal fan of Christian and secular scenes. may the Lord continue to bless you Pete!! God bless
Has a right to his own opinion. Is still THE MOST AMAZING DRUMMER I have ever heard. Keith Moon wishes he was Pete Sandoval... Even after the surgery. The guy is a cyborg on the drums.
he gave it up to the new drummers. be respectful to this man. who cares what he believes in. hes a drummer in bands. the people that made the movie the exorcist are not evil people. its called topics. and image. just because your in a satanic band dont mean you have to be that. its art like a play. amazing guy amazing drummer. his personal beliefs are non of anyones issues.
Wow, I'm soo happy for Pete. What a transformation. Left a life of darkness and has a new life in Christ. I wasn't a Christian when I started listening to MA, but just like Pete..I found life in Jesus Christ when everything else failed and nothing compares to the power and love of CHRIST. I even got rid of all my MA stuff. Was curious about Pete, and came across this. Praise JESUS!
Myself, a former satanist/atheist for most of my life, and still and always a deathmetal fan.... I changed too. I figured it out one day on my own. Just like Pete. Cheers!
and I haven't forgot you Morbid Angel I saw you guys in Denver Colorado and you guys made the f****** floor lift quite awesome I must say one of the best hits I've ever been in let me tell you this folks there will be nothing that can touch Morbid Angel blessed are the sick
I'm not religious, but Pete is right. I am constantly dissociating from metal because alk the other musicians are too alcoholic and don't care about rehearsing with passion and discipline.
Amazing!!!Jesus is the Truth, The Way, The Life. He pulled me out of much darkness and chaos. It's a walk, I still have much darkness in me that He is working on helping me examine and purge. The narrow path is not easy, but it is Peace. What ever talents and taste you have, God can use it for His Glory! Heavy metal is such a gift to this earth
@@somethingsomething9008 Yeah, man, it's amazing... I used to be a Christian and I came to grips with the fact that there probably is no god (or at least no specific god that the religious tout) about a decade ago. I've been infinitely happier since abandoning religion. The experience is subjective. Some of these dudes are in here pretending they have some special knowledge they don't have. They're happy. That's great and more power to them. But stop pretending you have some special happiness the rest of us don't have. I spend over 30 years in it. Went to church every Sunday for years. I've lived in both perspectives. One favors reality and the other, wishful thinking. I'm sure the path of reality is less rosy and difficult. But I'd rather live in reality than lie to myself and surround myself with other people who are lying to themselves just to feel warm and fuzzy inside.
God didn't save me from heroin, far from it he 'created' the opium poppy and watched it turn into smack and sold to create junkies, a total 360. He "moves in mysterious ways" eh? Jeezus!!!😂
Pete must get back to Morbid Angel (at least as studio drummer) MA is reforming again, DV left, the drummer and Norwegian guitarist left and Steve Tucker rejoins...
+TheReturnOED David Vincent brought pestilence and misery, may he be happy in his other musical endeavors, but he's no longer a good fit for MA. Steve Tucker is IMHO the missing key, he's vocals are just damn great, Formulas Fatal to the flesh and Gateways to annihilation are solid landmarks in the hall of extreme metal. Steve Tucker's contribution in Nader Sadek project speaks for it self. Till MA gets to release something relevant, i'm sticking to my jazz&gnawa music CDs )) Peace from Morocco
Amen pete ! You the man ! Dont let any man take you away from the good Lord my brotha . and continue to destroy them drums because you still the best drummer on the planet
Very inspiring! Wow! I met Pete years ago and to this day I recall that I felt a very bad vibe with him. Like I never felt before anyone else. A heavy, dark vibe. I was exciting to meet him but after that I was a bit disappointed. Never felt such darkness near anyone else like that before. So, to hear Pete Sandoval talk about Jesus like that...? Amazing. So happy for him. It just proves that God is good and loves us, regardless of how we are. Long live Pete.
I didn't get it. He says he doesn't have a religion based problem with playing in Morbid Angel, but then he says he would never play in a satanic band, which according to him Morbid Angel definitely is?
This is kind of an ironic post personally. Always loved all kinds of music, and not really into religion yet am a Christ follower. For some music he was a part of is an incredible cathartic release. Was into and still like Sepultura, Helmet, then discovered stuff like Mortification and righteous bands that were not technically religious like Downset, Zao, of course Stavesacre, Hopesfall ect. One remarkable memory from childhood was when I always watched Headbangers ball every Saturday nite. Biohazard and Sick of It All, & Hum we’re also favorites. Yet when I saw Morbid Angel God of Emptiness I was astonished at the artistry of the song, yet also some thing off about it like way deep in my human being was like “not sure if this is right for me”. Well went ahead and got Covenant the Morbid Angel album down at the cd store in the mall in ole South Georgia. Really loved the music. The band Death and Cynic were also really interesting. To conclude my point I almost instinctively took the Covenant Cd back to the store. I had a great rapport with the store reps cause they knew I was a 7th grade rocker extraordinaire who had a lot of knowledge for that stage of life when it came to music. I basically said “hey man I would like to refund this Cd, trade it for store credit or literally just give it to you guys with no expectation. I own that I purchased it, so it’s okay if you just leave it be, I will continue to shop here, just I cannot keep this cd for some very strong intuitive reason.” I may have mentioned faith or not yet those were my basic words. Believe they took it back and gave some store credit for another album of something. The main point is even if I don’t prefer religion, or any sort of dogma, somehow I knew the Holy Spirit is definitely real and that at the core of our being and life itself is a loving and receptive God or Goddess. Some kind of higher intelligence that loves us. That album and others like it by morbid angel are not suitable for good health & emotional well being. Some folks can dig it and it’s just like a sci fi movie or something cool to listen to which I respect. Yet for many they really need to keep their ears clean with music that has some kind of inspirational or beneficial message or simply beautiful artistry(like Plini, Animals as Leaders, Devin Townsend, Dream Theater, Pod, and Indie stuff like American Football, Vasudeva, REM, Chuck Ragan, Chamberlain, Thrice, Nada Surf, Omnium Gatherum, U2 & it goes on infinite. So for this drummer to find a different path & one towards faith is inspiring & incredible. Would love to hear more from him. Christ is a real spirit whether you believe the man existed or not, that’s just my personal experience and that of many people I have known in this life experience. Gratitude
C'mon Pete, fricken stop it with the style of living with god with no destruction and death and darkness!! Ffs. People can live clean and totally straight without the nonsense of God... God doesn't stop a clean living. 2 paths?? 1 with God n one of darkness?! The only way? No,and you know it Pete and so do all reading this even if they won't admit it. Pete is an amazing drummer, one of the best and first extreme metal drummers. I don't understand the 'yay God!' comments here if you are morbid angel fans. It is a death metal gimmick, unless your a bit slow maybe you all missed the tongue in cheek of the whole genere. Pete is a legend, a death metal legend and still receives royalty cheques from his pre '😢God' performances...does he turn money away for God? No. And no he shouldn't, he should be proud of his back catalogue. I shouldn't have to state the obvious but damn...
I have to tell you this when I heard f****** morbid and all these good death metal bands that I listen to till I die cuz I'm already dead on a head always forward and the first thing that I saw was in I said Jesus Christ that was the best goddamn time I ever had still having it folks
Whatever floats his boat. Just respect his decision. Tolerance and respect is what's missing from a lot of people. If you can't respect someone else's choices in life, then you're only marginally better than the extremist Muslims. At least you don't kill others who don't follow what you follow though.
Adoro Morbid Angel,mi banda favorita,simpatizo con Satanism,y por respeto a Sandoval,no va a cambiar mi fanatismo hacia el como musico y como persona...Dejadlo en paz.
The guy had a broken back and almost was injured to the point where he would never play again. I can see why he looked to a "Higher Power"...MA aren't Satanists anyway...."No God shall come before me"......
I think he said that because in extreme situations, where people can't or don't know how to deal with those situations and life, some tend to turn to God. I think they found there something to give a new meaning to their lifes, or something like that. It's common. I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm not into it, but it's definitely common.
Morbid angel was one of my favorite bands. I don't listen to them anymore because of the lyrics and message. I tried living that way and it is wrong and does lead to death. All the things that PEOPLE do and say about Jesus are what makes Christianity look bad. The religion is what is bad. Jesus is only good. Try him he won't disappoint you. God bless you Mr. Sandoval and thank you for the awesome musicianship that you share with us!
Have always been fascinated by Pete, becuse he was setting the standards for drumming in a decade from '90 to '00.. But though he sounds like a man ho past his prime, but like he admits, new drummers are faster & are specialists..But without Pete, we may never had the blast beats as we know them.. Hate his Shitty : God Bull... which he uses half the time on..Is he stoned or Brainwashed?? But even Though : 'RESPECT FOREVER'.. Vikinghorns, Denmark...
Okay so at this point in time he never wanted to play for MA again because they were 'satanic' and that was not his 'path'. Sounding like some deranged 80s hyprochristian there. Flashforward 7 years and he's playing in Morbid Angel. Ok? Look don't get me wrong I adore Sandoval and he raised a lot of good points. I totally respect that he found faith when he was in a low period. But some of those sterotypical 'religious' comments he was saying here sounded outright nutty, at least to me. Well i shouldn't be suprised as after all, religion is a nutty concept and slowly but surely losing it's sell by date. Spiritualism is the shit, though.
@Ancient Blacksmith that didn't age well, did it? He is currently playing Morbid Angel songs with David Vincent. And of course, the songs from the most satanic era of the band, which is hilarious. I have nothing but respect for him as a musician, but now he looks just like another Christian hypocrite
For those who dont know..Pete isn't praising the lord due to his back recovering...he became born again after overcoming an addiction to pain pills (opiates) that killed his back pain before the surgery.
ALSO for all the Christians praising his conversion....Pete played in a band that continues (via recordings he made with them) to inspire hatred and rejection of Christianity and thats not gonna change anytime soon....and that is his legacy for real aside from the amazing drumming.
Skeletal33 Both Christianity and Islam created bloodshed in the world. Right now it is Islam creating more bloodshed than any other religion. Christianity is and always will continue to be an evil religion, but back it was Christianity creating the most bloodshed, especially like you said the crusades.
+Black/Death Metal Warrior the point is that Christianity, Islam and Judaism should be eradicated from the face of the earth so the air can be less pollute
The guy is fucking golden !!! He can't say a bad thing about these shitty young blast STIFFS playing to click tracks at 280 bpm these days narrowing the art into three different techniques... The guy invented the style and did it his fucking way !!! Love you Pete !!! If god makes you happy good bro! I think you are the one god in this style of drumming, you and guys like Bill Andrews, the pioneers !!! God bless!
I listen to all the death metal songs but don't understand a word of what a singer sings. Probably other metal fans either. When even RATM fans voted for Trump, why would death metal fans "believe" all the Satan things? Lol
+Esteban Rincon My friend, I respectfully must disagree with you, God does indeed exist, and his name is Jesus Christ. I hung out with Pete in the past, when he and I were both lost, and I was into Satanism deep, probably much deeper than Pete ever was. God had you land on this video for a reason, and to answer your question, God, Jesus Christ cares about you man, he loves you Esteban.
all I know is my parents and my step parents Force down this Christian b******* down my throat and against my free will because that's not what I chose as a kid but you know when you're a kid you didn't have a lot to run with if your parents are strict but I tell you this right now folks think nothing is going to separate me from Death Metal because it is the f****** best ever and terroriser is number one besides death we missed check but terroriser will always terrorize in my house or in any house on me thank you Terrorizer
the old testament is the most horrific book of the fiction genre, i find it moronic if someone, "here from below", with the smallest amount of reason in his head, not rejecting that scary evil psycopath alias known as jehovah
People must stop saying they found the Lord. That implies he/she/it was always there. Also that the person was always lost. Converted to Theism is the proper thing to say.
That whole "I will never be back or play in a satanic band now that I found Jesus" looks hilarious now LMAO. Hypocrite much? real life does not agree with "convictions"
Oh my god how annoying. He sounds like a recovering drug addict saying how bad drugs are, but now his life is so boring high on god. Blaming Satan? Really? Who made Satan? Oh ya, your buddy god made him. Who made the magical fruit that condemn all humanity? oh ya, god made it.
If you built a car and it became too dangerous to drive, you would advise someone not to go anywhere near it. That certain someone that certain God made snapped. Out of free will. As for the fruit tree, if you had a stack of books in the house that were too adult for your kids, would you want them reading them? No, you wouldn't- not until they were more mature. Pete is not blaming the devil he is speaking about very real and personal changes.
i believe in God, but i will always Like Morbid Angel because this group has to do with the above, as its name says and what makes it attractive. There is an Angel behind Morbid Angel that gives it that overwhelming power, now go find who HE is..??
You left Morbid Angel to play in another metal group that's still divergent from your actual religious belief, i don't see the reason to stop from darkness (aka Morbid Angel) and doing the same thing again after condemning this lifestyle ?? weird. your drum in Terrorizer is pretty much the same as before, aggressive?
+Color4Fun There's nothing wrong with aggressive music. There are "aggressive" aspects of nature, but they're Created aren't they? It is that Morbid Angel talks about Satanism, but it's really just symbolism. Terrorizer is political. Pete thinks Morbid Angel is not about God, but he's actually wrong. Morbid Angel is all about God, but not in the Christian sense. Their lyrics praise the Alpha Omega and that God who say "I Am That I Am" and condemn against the ignorant, fleshly behavior that denies the calling of Spirit within.

As long as his belief remains his own business.
Of course it's his own business. It's hardly anyone elses. lol
Paddy Theosophist Many christians think everything is their business, if it goes against their beliefs.
Good on Pete for finding a measure of peace. Shit happens and when someone finds faith you cannot understand unless you have felt it.
I feel you, Pete! I too have felt Gods presence and it changed my life completely. Much love my brother

Steve Tucker's contribution in Nader Sadek project speaks for it self. Till MA gets to release something relevant, i'm sticking to my jazz&gnawa music CDs )) Peace from Morocco
Great interview. God Bless Pete.
Pete is a fuckin LEGEND!
GOD BLESS PETE THE FEET!
Amen pete ! You the man ! Dont let any man take you away from the good Lord my brotha . and continue to destroy them drums because you still the best drummer on the planet
Very inspiring! Wow!
I met Pete years ago and to this day I recall that I felt a very bad vibe with him. Like I never felt before anyone else. A heavy, dark vibe.
I was exciting to meet him but after that I was a bit disappointed.
Never felt such darkness near anyone else like that before.
So, to hear Pete Sandoval talk about Jesus like that...? Amazing.
So happy for him.
It just proves that God is good and loves us, regardless of how we are. Long live Pete.
I didn't get it. He says he doesn't have a religion based problem with playing in Morbid Angel, but then he says he would never play in a satanic band, which according to him Morbid Angel definitely is?
This is kind of an ironic post personally. Always loved all kinds of music, and not really into religion yet am a Christ follower.
For some music he was a part of is an incredible cathartic release. Was into and still like Sepultura, Helmet, then discovered stuff like Mortification and righteous bands that were not technically religious like Downset, Zao, of course Stavesacre, Hopesfall ect.
One remarkable memory from childhood was when I always watched Headbangers ball every Saturday nite. Biohazard and Sick of It All, & Hum we’re also favorites. Yet when I saw Morbid Angel God of Emptiness I was astonished at the artistry of the song, yet also some thing off about it like way deep in my human being was like “not sure if this is right for me”.
Well went ahead and got Covenant the Morbid Angel album down at the cd store in the mall in ole South Georgia. Really loved the music. The band Death and Cynic were also really interesting.
To conclude my point I almost instinctively took the Covenant Cd back to the store. I had a great rapport with the store reps cause they knew I was a 7th grade rocker extraordinaire who had a lot of knowledge for that stage of life when it came to music.
I basically said “hey man I would like to refund this Cd, trade it for store credit or literally just give it to you guys with no expectation. I own that I purchased it, so it’s okay if you just leave it be, I will continue to shop here, just I cannot keep this cd for some very strong intuitive reason.” I may have mentioned faith or not yet those were my basic words.
Believe they took it back and gave some store credit for another album of something.
The main point is even if I don’t prefer religion, or any sort of dogma, somehow I knew the Holy Spirit is definitely real and that at the core of our being and life itself is a loving and receptive God or Goddess. Some kind of higher intelligence that loves us.
That album and others like it by morbid angel are not suitable for good health & emotional well being. Some folks can dig it and it’s just like a sci fi movie or something cool to listen to which I respect.
Yet for many they really need to keep their ears clean with music that has some kind of inspirational or beneficial message or simply beautiful artistry(like Plini, Animals as Leaders, Devin Townsend, Dream Theater, Pod, and Indie stuff like American Football, Vasudeva, REM, Chuck Ragan, Chamberlain, Thrice, Nada Surf, Omnium Gatherum, U2 & it goes on infinite. So for this drummer to find a different path & one towards faith is inspiring & incredible. Would love to hear more from him. Christ is a real spirit whether you believe the man existed or not, that’s just my personal experience and that of many people I have known in this life experience. Gratitude
Wow, this one went bat shit insane, too.
Why? Because its logical to look around and realise you don't come from a rock that came from an explosion that came from "nothing"
Wytchfinde how did you go from “The Big Bang is stupid” to “Morbid Angel and bands like them should be banned”?
God bless you pete!
C'mon Pete, fricken stop it with the style of living with god with no destruction and death and darkness!! Ffs. People can live clean and totally straight without the nonsense of God... God doesn't stop a clean living. 2 paths?? 1 with God n one of darkness?! The only way? No,and you know it Pete and so do all reading this even if they won't admit it. Pete is an amazing drummer, one of the best and first extreme metal drummers. I don't understand the 'yay God!' comments here if you are morbid angel fans. It is a death metal gimmick, unless your a bit slow maybe you all missed the tongue in cheek of the whole genere. Pete is a legend, a death metal legend and still receives royalty cheques from his pre '😢God' performances...does he turn money away for God? No. And no he shouldn't, he should be proud of his back catalogue.
I shouldn't have to state the obvious but damn...
I have to tell you this when I heard f****** morbid and all these good death metal bands that I listen to till I die cuz I'm already dead on a head always forward and the first thing that I saw was in I said Jesus Christ that was the best goddamn time I ever had still having it folks
"And rock out!" *Plays intro of Scavenger of Human Sorrow*
This is a really good interview. GOD be with you always, Commando.
God Bless Pete Sandoval.
Whatever floats his boat. Just respect his decision. Tolerance and respect is what's missing from a lot of people. If you can't respect someone else's choices in life, then you're only marginally better than the extremist Muslims. At least you don't kill others who don't follow what you follow though.
I'm very happy that you're better and more happy now Pete. Please return to Morbid Angel!!!
Won't happen , it me it seems like they might be incompatible since Pete is now a follower of the Zombie Jew
The "Zombie Jew" hahaha. You're right, and that is sad...
God has better plans for Pete. Jesus is Lord.
Ok.
Jesus blows.
Adoro Morbid Angel,mi banda favorita,simpatizo con Satanism,y por respeto a Sandoval,no va a cambiar mi fanatismo hacia el como musico y como persona...Dejadlo en paz.
I don't believe in heaven i don't believe hell i just believe in fucking music and sick Blast beat yeah
He sounds like my gardener....
Hahahaha!!
The guy had a broken back and almost was injured to the point where he would never play again. I can see why he looked to a "Higher Power"...MA aren't Satanists anyway...."No God shall come before me"......
The higher power couldn't have prevented the back problems?
I think he said that because in extreme situations, where people can't or don't know how to deal with those situations and life, some tend to turn to God. I think they found there something to give a new meaning to their lifes, or something like that. It's common. I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm not into it, but it's definitely common.
+camaraolla This is irresponsible because they're only masking problems, not solving them.
Morbid angel was one of my favorite bands. I don't listen to them anymore because of the lyrics and message. I tried living that way and it is wrong and does lead to death. All the things that PEOPLE do and say about Jesus are what makes Christianity look bad. The religion is what is bad. Jesus is only good. Try him he won't disappoint you. God bless you Mr. Sandoval and thank you for the awesome musicianship that you share with us!
RIP in Jesse
Great interview. Very inspiring.
Have always been fascinated by Pete, becuse he was setting the standards for drumming in a decade from '90 to '00.. But though he sounds like a man ho past his prime, but like he admits, new drummers are faster & are specialists..But without Pete, we may never had the blast beats as we know them.. Hate his Shitty : God Bull... which he uses half the time on..Is he stoned or Brainwashed?? But even Though : 'RESPECT FOREVER'.. Vikinghorns, Denmark...
He can blast death metal and talks doom metal. Guy takes 30 seconds to finish a sentence lol
Pete Sandoval amazing drummer.
Okay so at this point in time he never wanted to play for MA again because they were 'satanic' and that was not his 'path'. Sounding like some deranged 80s hyprochristian there.
Flashforward 7 years and he's playing in Morbid Angel.
Ok?
Look don't get me wrong I adore Sandoval and he raised a lot of good points. I totally respect that he found faith when he was in a low period. But some of those sterotypical 'religious' comments he was saying here sounded outright nutty, at least to me. Well i shouldn't be suprised as after all, religion is a nutty concept and slowly but surely losing it's sell by date. Spiritualism is the shit, though.
@Ancient Blacksmith that didn't age well, did it? He is currently playing Morbid Angel songs with David Vincent. And of course, the songs from the most satanic era of the band, which is hilarious. I have nothing but respect for him as a musician, but now he looks just like another Christian hypocrite
He calls him Pete Sand-Oval 😂
well now, that's embarrassing :/
God bless you Pete, don't even pay attention to the people who don't find God yet. RESPECT !!
M Giovanni indeed
As Morbid Angel (at this present time) are now without a drummer!!!!!
For those who dont know..Pete isn't praising the lord due to his back recovering...he became born again after overcoming an addiction to pain pills (opiates) that killed his back pain before the surgery.
ALSO for all the Christians praising his conversion....Pete played in a band that continues (via recordings he made with them) to inspire hatred and rejection of Christianity and thats not gonna change anytime soon....and that is his legacy for real aside from the amazing drumming.
This is more disappointing than Illud Divinum Insanus...
It sure is very disappointing that a great drummer like Pete Sandoval turned to evil Christian cults.
+Black/Death Metal Byron 666 imagine he become a Muslim..
+Black/Death Metal Warrior Not true. Look up the crusades
Skeletal33 Both Christianity and Islam created bloodshed in the world. Right now it is Islam creating more bloodshed than any other religion. Christianity is and always will continue to be an evil religion, but back it was Christianity creating the most bloodshed, especially like you said the crusades.
+Black/Death Metal Warrior the point is that Christianity, Islam and Judaism should be eradicated from the face of the earth so the air can be less pollute
I don't understand , he found god and can not play with Morbid Angel but he can play with Brian Werner that call himself a high priest satanist
Don't shoot the man down, same thing happened to Ken Owen of Carcass unless your a drummer stfu!!!
The guy is fucking golden !!! He can't say a bad thing about these shitty young blast STIFFS playing to click tracks at 280 bpm these days narrowing the art into three different techniques... The guy invented the style and did it his fucking way !!! Love you Pete !!! If god makes you happy good bro! I think you are the one god in this style of drumming, you and guys like Bill Andrews, the pioneers !!! God bless!
man , how can u go from playing the most blasphemous death metal, and then becoming a religious preacher..
In the interview he states the spirit of God shall come upon you if you seek him with all your heart :)
Hope u r well
Just like that ,apparently
Very simple. Jesus changes lives!!!!
The point is he found himself.at least i hope he did.
Ahhh But Morbid fans miss Pete..lol
Pete, i will always listen to the lyrics, the music and your drumming in the excellent God of Emptiness (the absurd semitic version).
+Blackhawks Fan, I can see you are just one butthurt loser who has nothing better to do with his life.
I listen to all the death metal songs but don't understand a word of what a singer sings. Probably other metal fans either. When even RATM fans voted for Trump, why would death metal fans "believe" all the Satan things? Lol
Fingers crossed he rejoins Morbid..if he has the ability to play the material. His current drumming in Terrorizer is pretty bad..
I stand corrected. I've watch more recent videos...he's picking up speed!
👍🏼
Neither 'god' nor a 'Jesus Christ" exist, so who cares?
+Esteban Rincon My friend, I respectfully must disagree with you, God does indeed exist, and his name is Jesus Christ. I hung out with Pete in the past, when he and I were both lost, and I was into Satanism deep, probably much deeper than Pete ever was. God had you land on this video for a reason, and to answer your question, God, Jesus Christ cares about you man, he loves you Esteban.
+deadmanwalking Bullshit
+Esteban Rincon yeah my friend! As long Pete plays like a machine gun, he can believe any myth he wants...
I agree, but my point isn't about how well he plays drums.
+Esteban Rincon God is Good
all I know is my parents and my step parents Force down this Christian b******* down my throat and against my free will because that's not what I chose as a kid but you know when you're a kid you didn't have a lot to run with if your parents are strict but I tell you this right now folks think nothing is going to separate me from Death Metal because it is the f****** best ever and terroriser is number one besides death we missed check but terroriser will always terrorize in my house or in any house on me thank you Terrorizer
At least he didn't go join a country music band 🤭
Money changes everything. If the price is right Pete will be on the horizon. I respect the religious stance, but it shouldn’t interfere with music.
the old testament is the most horrific book of the fiction genre, i find it moronic if someone, "here from below", with the smallest amount of reason in his head, not rejecting that scary evil psycopath alias known as jehovah
True.
The bible is the most psychotic fictional book ever written.
+Blackhawks Fan, I feel very sorry for you, because you believe in childish stuff.
+Blackhawks Fan, still talking childish.
+Blackhawks Fan by the way you niether have proof that god exists.
👊
A line on Blessed are the Sick : Forgive Me NOT.. Remember thet Pete.. Stand up as a Man, not a week, sorry, remorseful new-christian Beep.. Baad Pete
Iz normal
ok course he doesn't, they're crap now
People must stop saying they found the Lord. That implies he/she/it was always there. Also that the person was always lost. Converted to Theism is the proper thing to say.
damn pete. jesus? really? that sucks.
That whole "I will never be back or play in a satanic band now that I found Jesus" looks hilarious now LMAO. Hypocrite much? real life does not agree with "convictions"
god is for show
Oh my god how annoying. He sounds like a recovering drug addict saying how bad drugs are, but now his life is so boring high on god. Blaming Satan? Really? Who made Satan? Oh ya, your buddy god made him. Who made the magical fruit that condemn all humanity? oh ya, god made it.
If you built a car and it became too dangerous to drive, you would advise someone not to go anywhere near it. That certain someone that certain God made snapped. Out of free will. As for the fruit tree, if you had a stack of books in the house that were too adult for your kids, would you want them reading them? No, you wouldn't- not until they were more mature. Pete is not blaming the devil he is speaking about very real and personal changes.
blessed are the sick lol
Yeah you got to seek God and that's why other people encouraged you
He sounds like Scarface main.
little coke money never hurt no one pete montana mang.
How disappointing. A great percussionist from a great band lost to bullshit christianity
Brian Kniffen He still plays with Terrorizer though
Amazing drummer, sadly not much brains !
i believe in God, but i will always Like Morbid Angel because this group has to do with the above, as its name says and what makes it attractive. There is an Angel behind Morbid Angel that gives it that overwhelming power, now go find who HE is..??
You left Morbid Angel to play in another metal group that's still divergent from your actual religious belief, i don't see the reason to stop from darkness (aka Morbid Angel) and doing the same thing again after condemning this lifestyle ?? weird. your drum in Terrorizer is pretty much the same as before, aggressive?
+Color4Fun There's nothing wrong with aggressive music. There are "aggressive" aspects of nature, but they're Created aren't they? It is that Morbid Angel talks about Satanism, but it's really just symbolism. Terrorizer is political. Pete thinks Morbid Angel is not about God, but he's actually wrong. Morbid Angel is all about God, but not in the Christian sense. Their lyrics praise the Alpha Omega and that God who say "I Am That I Am" and condemn against the ignorant, fleshly behavior that denies the calling of Spirit within.
He stopped drugs too .
