In this week's episode of the Does It Doom Podcast I had the opportunity to chat with one of the Kings of New Orleans sludge, Jimmy Bower. We talk through all of the details
of his EYEHATGOD GUITAR Rig; and we spend some time talking about song writing, how things are going with EHG, and get the latest on Down, The Mystick Krewe of Clearlight, his solo record, and more.

I have a cute little story to share concerning Jimmy bower:
Last year I saw them in Vienna, they talked about the tour in Europe in the interview.
I was hammered as fuck, stood somewhere in the first three rows or something. Then, while banging and moshing I felt something hitting my hand - felt like a pick, believe it or not - and I immediately scanned the floor around me and really spotted a pick laying there. Grabbed it, cut my hand on shattered glass and had a guy stepping on it, obviously.
Presented the pick gleefully to my dude during the song. He was frantically pointing to the stage, when I followed his index finger I saw bower looking at me waving his hand, demanding his pick haha.
So i gave it back, kind of sad and resumed moshing my ass of.
Right after their last song, he grabbed my shoulder and gave it back to me - haha I felt like a teeny fanboi, fucking excited and all.
Still have a photo of that evening with him and the pick rests safely in a super cheesy little picture frame on my wall haha
That’s awesome!
Bower lost a pic when I saw them and I play guitar so I saw him playing with his hand and I could tell he was saying “FUCK”, so I dug in my pocket and threw all 30 pics onto the stage and bower looked at me and laughed and gave a thumbs up lol
"We didn't even have a tuner until Dopesick..." I love Jimmy, great guy. Thanks for the interview dude.
Sure thing man! Glad you enjoyed it.
BOWERPOWER!!!!
This guitar player is one of my favorite drummers.
Same!
He’s drumming is amazing it fits so well with Down He plays everything with he’s own feeling that’s so awesome
@@detallic dont forget OFR
Same here
same
Jimmy is a super cool dude. After Hurricane Katrina he was staying in Johnson Bayou. He came to a local show jammed with a local band. Gave some of us his phone number. I decided to ring him. Bro we had like a 1 hour conversation. Who does that... Jimmy Bower that’s who. Super laid back dude.
Okay Down HAS to be the most talented supergroup of all time. Phil, Pepper, Kirk and Jimmy?! That’s absolutely absurd.
Incredible for sure.
Don't forget Sexy T, Rex, Pat and Bobby.
Hail Hornet is killer...T-roy...Dixie Dave...Erik...Vine
Jimmy Bower, alongside Dimebag, Toni Iommi and Gary Holt, is the reason why I play guitar. Coolest interview ever ! Thanks Steve
Rémi LAMBERT glad you liked it!
@The Ninth Heart Definitely one of favorite album of all time
No matter how much Sludge I listen to, Eyehategod will always be my favorite.
Same.
Met Jimmy Bower years ago when he was in Crowbar. Can’t remember the year, late 90s pre Oddfellows rest I think. Anyway. They were touring the UK and Kirk had gone down with flu and they had to pull out of the London gig at the last minute. Jimmy and Todd Strange went to the gig anyway to speak to the fans and hang out. Both were super nice and we had good chats, they were obviously bummed but they took the time to all to the fans despite this.
Hell yeah, Jimmy Bower’s riff are so thick and heavy.
The man!
BowerPower! Jimmy is my idol and one of my favorite guitar players right beside greg ginn and tony iommi. Got to hang out with him before the show here in Sao Paulo. He was the nicest guy and really funny. Great video as always, thanks!
Awesome!
About time for another ehg lesson 😍😍
Feels like it!!!
Does It Doom? Disturbance lesson! (Joking)
This has to be one of the best dudes on this planet "we don't have a tuner until dope sick"😮 let's get that solo record done jimmy
Yes!
great interview Steve this is good stuff.COC.. eyehategod, Down, Mystical Krewe of Clearlight (which is my favorite New Orleans project, second only to Down....Acid Bath was probably my number one favorite band of that circle of people, but that's a whole different interview "with Sammy"?)various other projects. Jimmy Bower is the man. a multi-instrumentalist who is so overlooked by the mainstream metal community.it takes a bunch of old school dudes who are in their mid 40s-50s to educate these younger dudes about people like Jimmy.
Thanks for listening! Jimmy is definitely the man. I actually had the opportunity to interview Sammy a couple weeks ago. Here it is if you want to check it out: th-cam.com/video/sSronzDiWUk/w-d-xo.html
@@DoesItDoom I can't believe I didn't get this message until two freaking years later but thanks man I'm going to go check that out. I also wanted to thank you for when I ordered the "iommi is life t-shirt", you accidentally sent me two... I was able to cut one apart and sew it onto the front of a hoodie that is covered with other patches and stuff. It looks pretty Fuckin' dope man. Thanks brother. Stay down,stay dooooom.
@@ziggylayneable amazing!!! Would love to see a pic of that hoodie.
Man that was an awesome interview. Thank you and keep it up brother. Jimmy “Bower Power “What a cool dude man .
Awesome dude for sure. Thanks for listening!
Because of stuff like this is why this channel is becoming my favorite youtube channel. I've seen eyehategod close to 30 times in the last couple years and never noticed Jimmy only had 4 strings.
Glad you dig the channel man. Thanks for watching!
Greatest influence to the new Orleans sound. Universally heard now. RISE YOUNG JAMES! To quote phil hahaha.
Jimmy Bower is my idol!!! Guy is a musical genius!!
Yes indeed!
The power of the riff compels me!
When I clicked on the video it had 666 views. Sick. Also Jimmy is the man. Saw EHG in Lexington, he hungout in the crowd with fans watching all the opening bands.
Thanks for doing the effort of hunting him down and putting in the effort to make this interview a possibility.
My pleasure man. Thanks for listening. Hope you enjoyed it.
I am liking these interviews a lot, thank you Steve
Glad to hear that, Ismael! Thanks for listening.
Excellent show! I had the opportunity to talk to Jimmy at Superjoint show in Chesterfield, Michigan. He was so cool and funny! Great all around musician. Thank you for keeping us entertained! BOWER POWER!!!
Thanks for checking it out, Jason!
Steve you have the best channel going! So excited for this one man!
Jimmy is one of the nicest guys man!
Thanks Josh!
I saw them play with Church of Misery in Southampton and chatted with Jimmy for ages and smoked weed with Gary, who kept me hydrated.lol Mike was cool as ever and remembered me from a gig a few years before. Gary then handed his pick to me. Coolest day ever.
great potcast i mean podcast thanks for doing this. jimmy bower is a legend!!!
Thanks for listening. Legend for sure! 🐐⚜️
Great interview from the king of riffs!! BOWER POWER!!
Thanks buddy!
Don't forget Suplecs!!! Extremely underrated NOLA band!
As others are saying, Jimmy really IS a great guy! Super cool.
Most definitely!
I want to thank you for this..
It was awesome..i am going to check the other stuff out..
Glad you enjoyed it man!
I loved this great interview
Thanks so much.
Cool interview Steve
Was a fun one!
BOWER POWER
This guy is the riffmaster, full stop
I always thought he got the tone rolled off thing from Tom G. Warrior cuz he does that too but apparently not. Good interview.
Thank you, great interview
I appreciate it. Thanks for listening.
that story about Dave Chandler is so funny
Goddamn that tour they were on was a killer bill. Napalm, Misery Index, Eyehategod, Rotten Sound, and Bat? Fuck.
It was. Caught the Leeds show (too late for the first two bands, but EHG, Misery Index and Napalm were awesome).
Eyehategod played at the Rebellion in Manchester last Monday. Can't believe I missed it. Wasn't even aware they were touring the UK
I read somewhere that Jimmy used Mesa 4x12 cabinets with Superjoint Ritual and he also had his own custom guitar done by David Thomas Mcnaught. Not sure if any of those things were used in the studio though.
He has always used Mesa 4x12 cabs in EHG for sure. The McNaught guitar was likely used on A Lethal Dose if I had to guess.
Yo Steve, i gotta request an interview with my guy Ben Falgoust or even Mike Williams⚜️
Both would be awesome. It’s been a while since I’ve done a Podcast. Would love to get the show back on track.
The RG 100 was the Cowboys From Hell tone as well... hard to find those jewels .
Thiswas great! Thanks a lot for sharing mate!
Glad you enjoyed it Stan! Thanks for listening. 🐐🐐
Ampeg Heavy Studs had a plywood body, use to have one.
Good interview.
Thanks for checking it out.
Bower Power!! Thanks for the post, helps out right now!
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it.
Dude, I know it's been a long time. Let's do some more interview content, awesome interview, make culture!!!
The interviews were super cool for sure.
Thanks Steve. Love your channel. Doom on Brothers & Sisters🤘
Thanks, Eric. I appreciate it.
Inspiring video! Love the podcast!
Thanks for checking it out Nate!
Very cool Steve I've always wanted to meet Jimmy he seems like a super cool guy. Thanks for the content
Great guy for sure. Thanks for watching as always bro!
I met Bower at the howlin wolf in New Orleans about 15 years ago, he was really cool!
Great content awesome channel dude. So glad I subscribed.
Thanks so much!
Nice interview Steven! Get Kirk Windstein on the show
Will definitely try!
Good interview, almost got godsong totally down on guitar
Nice! Thanks for listening.
Hey Steve what's up bud!! Awesome interview. But what kind of guitar were y'all talking about that had particle board in it? Sounds interesting. Thanks!
Gibson Sonex. Thanks for listening!
@@DoesItDoom Thanks dude!
HAHAHAHAHA, his inpression of Phil is GOLD!
⚜️🐐
LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!
No doubt! 🐐⚜️
I try n buy at least 1 a week now of EYEHATEGOD BADASS MERCH
Awesome Show.
Thanks so much!
Jim's shit is so rocking my phone just turned orange amd started fizzing loud.
Saw him in Richmond before their set. He had to shit.
Sludge God!!!!
Yes!
Actually the Gibson Sonex is made of resin and a wood dust composite.
I believe they called it Resonwood
@@DoesItDoom yep that is the name they gave it. I really dig all these interviews Steve. Hope to help with buying shirts once we make it out of this craziness cause I am jobless cause of this.
His drumming on CROWBAR album's is best.
Amazing.
It's on point with the COC live album too!
@@grade8fabrication true. Amazing well rounded musicien
Wicked Cricket
The Sunburst Sonex is well in demand because of Dave Chandler suggested super joint stupid house could tour with Black label suscramity and i became an sg but got up behind some gangsta assed slagnongstas and then I started shooting schlagelmeistas enough to be the obvious idiot who I am.
I saw the EHG/The Obssessed tour. fucking awesome.
Nice!!
Old Matsumoku guitars used to have plywood bodies
I saw them on the tour in the uk and he had a dual rec, sd1, tuner and the sonex and sounded fucking insane!! Theres a video on my channel!
Killer!
fk yeah bruh.
Bower power
I want to take Jimmy bass fishing with me and listen to EHG road stories.
I bet he’d be in.
“I’m a skyward fan man”
Hey dude a new Orleans is the new Vietnam lesson would be awesome
why would anyone ever use an overdrive with a Randall rges100 skilla amp? i guess sludge? I continue to be bored.
Top man Jimmy
The best.
beheld EHG - w/ COC & BLS - in August of '18 here in T'ronno ; Christ, dude, I waited 25 years for them !!! ; did whiskey shots w/ Gary after their set ; G L O R I V S !!!
Awesome
Thanks for listening!
oh boy. here comes the strings trope..
Any idea what his settings are on the super overdrive?
Yesssss
Glad you enjoyed it Travis!
Sick
Glad you liked it Noah.
Imagine Brian Patton next? Super introverted guy. But so is sammy somewhat but you got him on here.
Brian would be amazing. He’s such a great guitarist. I wish the old lesson videos of him teaching stuff off Inevitable Collapse in the Presence of Conviction were still around the internet.
@@DoesItDoom excellent album btw and always was curious on the guitar tone of that album. It had some insane sounding almost glassy sounding overdrive with loads of headroom..cant really explain it but never heard anything like it before. Excellent work on the interviews btw.
Nocturum Mortem thanks so much.
If you let me I'll be here.
Man I was sure looking into an EHG year..
Respect from Russia! What’s about time code?
Thanks brother. Not sure what you mean.
I wondered how much his get up would change with Brian being gone. I figured he'd have to double those teeth sonically.
I thought Jimmy left mid tour for "reasons unknown"?
The Strelok It’s was on another tour
The Strelok It’s was on another tour
I wish he would have talked about his band “ the mystick krewe of clearlight”
We did...
subtitle indonesia please
I wish I could like his bands but Im bored.
Dopesick is in C#. I promise.
Bower power
🐐🐐
Does It Doom? Great channel subbed..🍻🤘🏼
