He points out numerous times in his book that he's been sober and uninterested in drugs and alcohol his entire life. I think what makes his music relatable to people who don't know what it's like to walk in his shoes exactly is because you can feel the pain, and relate to that vicariously through the words in comparison to your own pain. You both may not have the same experiences, but pain knows pain. Not all of the world's painful art is good by that standard, but David's music is dope.
damian ocampo He says either in his book or another interview that people have just called him "Yavid" his life. Not too out-the-blue. I often change the first letter of someone's name to 'y' just 'cause when talking to them.
he is not sober. There is something effecting his motor skills. Benzos or Opiates. His speech is lacking tonal quality that non users have. Just listen to the difference in vocal presence between the two.
Idk, man, I don’t see a person on hard drugs or anything here. He seems to be who he’s always been off stage; calm and collective. The man went through literal hell and it seems like when he doesn’t have to let it out, he just. Wants. Some. Damn. Peace. Also, pausing mid sentence is better than saying um or uh like come on ya’ll, respect him. He’s unique and real and if anything he just seems tired with everything like most of us are.
He talks like every whiteboy that put in 20 years in a hood. Do not mistake the calmness for weakness. We put in twice the work for half the respect, but godamn it, we get respect.
I could always tell by his lyrics that he is really deep, educated and well spoken dude. But it's crazy how chill and soft spoken he is when hes just being him.
David seems like a cool guy, I can't ever get a solid read on him in interviews though. I've lived a life similar to his, what drew me into king when I first heard them was the familiarity... I think David talks slow and pauses like he does because he's more comfortable thinking than he is being interviewed.
Exactly, I've been around a lot of people who have been thru a world of pain. That is David. Ive also been around people who are low key smart as fuck (a coworker) . They were the smartest one in the room but didn't feel the need to show it or wanted to hide it. That also seems like David.
This dude always talks and acts like that. He's just chill person that thinks before talks and looks awkward because of that. But people gonna talk shit nonetheless lol
@@lucius6667 I absolutely love Ozzy Osbourne and he is a prime example. But look at how old he's been able to make it to. Drugs aren't a positive, but some of us self medicating does help without the government regulations. I feel that everyone should be able to live their own life, without regulating UNLESS you are killing or raping anyone or anything! All i want to say. King 810 is one of my favorite bands.
I have friends that talk like this and they've never even been on any kind of drug. It's really just thinking before talking, and so few people nowadays actually do that so people find it weird.
"I let no substance free me from reality"-David Gunn. People gotta keep in mind that because of the b.s. inner circle of the music scene, these dudes don't have the large crews of people to unload their equipment and wipe their ass like the phonies do. King eight, one, oh... has to do their shit from the ground up. Met the band once and they bust their ass for what THEy OWN. Simply put, the dude is tired from putting out great product. On a side note, we need to put this damned Virus in a pine over-coat because it post-poned the show I was headed to.😡🤬
David is a true artist, and he expresses thoughts, concepts, and emotions through his music the average person would never get to experience, and he does it in a way that permits you to relate to not only the struggle of the artists own youth and upbringing, but also the inherent struggles of the human condition. His art is not for everyone, but for those that can withstand the darkness, there is a light within his music, a hopeful message of acceptance of ones limitations, while simultaneously working to overcome ones circumstances. It's easy to see why most people don't get. Nuance seems to be lost in the modern age.
Look not everything they put out is good, but there's one thing that draws me to them and that's enthusiasm. That's often missing in alot of metal, as much of the subject matter isn't personal and much of the music is so technical there's no room left for emotion. Regardless of what you think about the lyrics or the style they feel those songs, and that's what I respond to.
His face in the beginning is how I look like 24/7. I love King 810. I've been listening to you guys since 2018. Alpha and Omega helped me out a lot in my sad times.
Mad respect for this dude. Still waters run deep. You get to see the turbulence beneath the surface through his music. Stop hatin if you ain't creatin.
Talk about an exact opposite of what I expected after hearing this mans music. I was expecting a pissed off Riff Raff for some reason, but this dude is chill as fuck and probably deeper then most people would ever think.
It's strange to see him so calm and collected and calm voiced in interviews then listen to his music and it's a whole different person. Like he is releasing demons in each song.
Than you’ve never seen intoxication before. I’m 2 years clean..and when clean a person doesn’t look and act like this. Either the dude is prescribed 1000mgs of Seroquel or he just did dope or Xanax.
@@RiverValleyAcres hes said before that he has been sober and clean for quite awhile now. Hes just a calm man after his storm, an takes time thinking about what he says so he doesnt sound misinformed or dumb lol you obviously have no idea what it looks like to be around someone thats on drugs if you think someone thats just looking for some damn peace for once is on drugs.
Anthony A nah that's not true man. I've been on benzos for years and understand them and other downers. He just seems chill Af here, could be some benzos but it's nothing serious. He's just speaking the truth here.
He's not fucking nodding either dude ... 8 year needle freak 3 years clean here dude ain't on dope ... He seams quiet shy and reserved maybe he just doesn't like being put into this type of position
The first song I had ever heard from King 810 was devil don’t cry that just took me that was me all the way. At that time I cooking in a restaurant off of Flushing Road called Golden Gate. there was a new cook working there that I become friends with, we used to talk about music and I played guitar I hadn’t met anyone at that time who was really into music the way I was except for him anyways, I came in from break and told him about this so I just heard call Devil don’t cry and he told me he would let David know I had no idea he was his brother and not long after that. He ended up moving away and always wondered what happened to him anyways love you 810 for life
This is one of the realist interviews ive seen. Ive been to flint quite a few times n im from a similar place in mansfield, oh. King 810 music is very relatable and their music sealed that feel from hometown to hometown when ur just stuck in a shithole with no way out and your just surviving instead of living. Theres more than you know that relate brutha. Keep rockin for us and show how badass we really are lml
Became a fan of King 810 since I first saw them live at Mayhem Fest 2014 San Bernardino, CA. Great music. True music. Genuine music that means something. Even David Gunn's Rap music is incredible. Genius. Hope to see them live again but here in Texas this time
I think alot of folks are completely missing what David is actually trying to say with his lyrics, big time. Flint is definitely a tough town where some ugly shit goes down, maybe that's why it makes such a good metaphor.
Dude when the interviewer asked him about people doubting if Flint was as bad as he and other say, I gained so much respect for him when he just said “yeah I get that, people make shit up all the time”. Some people would say fuck the haters and all and this guy just says basically they don’t have to believe me cause I know, and anybody that knows me knows. Idk, but this guy has seen and done a lot, and he has a lot of wisdom as a result. Love him or hate him this is a very unique and genuine man.
And for everyone saying he’s strung out or high, he’s speaking very clearly and very thoughtfully, you can see in his eyes how he processes everything and thinks out his response before he speaks. Which we could use a hell of a lot more of nowadays.
Sick and tired of hearing the same story about David being on some drug. Think about it, as honest and open as his lyrics are, dont you think he would, at least, mention it if he was interested n drugs? Even n his raw, honest, open book he literally says he has never been into drugs.....not even bud!!! Respect the man. King family
It was such a pleasure meeting Yavid when he and a few friends came on by a store I was running, back when I still lived in Battle Creek. He can be really funny and is super nice in person.
New to king810 and I don't know why I didn't discover them years ago, their music is unique and I've never heard another metal band sing truth or bring truth forward as they do... It's clear he's not on drugs kinda stupid for people to think that based on his past or by how he speaks. He's punctual that's for sure, didn't hear a "uhm" once and he clearly thinks before he speaks also just seems like he's got so many thoughts, ideas and memories running through his mind
Man people hate david for how he is but he is an honest man and a calm man so say what u want to say about him and his band they creat amazing music and thats what keeps him and his band mates going
Congratulations David Gunn. You are the Success story on the phone you talked about. Just learned about you today. Hope your hometown and even my own become better places for people someday. When living in danger your story is lonely for anyone, but glad you had people there with you and for you. Your lyrics are grim and bold. Respect. Your style and musical execution is on point. Glad you and yours are doing good. No need to ever go back to what was. Our job is to make tomorrow better than today. You are definitely doing better than me. Wish you well on all you do. 👍
Something about his cadence and the way he thinks before he speaks in that soft spoken voice.. idk why but it reminds me alot of Kurt Cobain. Nothing else, just that
People say all kinds of shit about him. Sorry he's not cookie cutter bubblegum pop bullshit. He's honest and gives real honest answers. Not many people walk away from major things like roadrunner
It's not uncommon for an artist's energy to change during and after performance or in media. It's artful entertainment. Do people expect him to be answering the questions while growling at the top of his lungs? Lmao
David Gunn the man is not a myth. I always say this because of what he says and how he says it seems like he supports death. It seems like he's painting ugly pictures and tries to bring the world down. But that is not what he supports or paints. The intention I see in him is trying to paint a better picture because he supports life thank you David. Because you have opened my eyes to many things. And I agree and support you.
I grew up in flint Eastside Jane Ave in war my whole life brother it's funny cause one day...... I just left. Everyone I know went to prison or died. I understand exactly what he's saying.... And most people aren't allowed to leave.
@@wegotussomemedicalwaste "dude shoots up roids" and the world told you and said tisk tisk bad you do realize when done correctly steroids can do great things to the Male body you do understand that right and taken in moderation or not even just not overuse and year in year out that's why they have trt or HRT to bring those t levels to a more healthy level in the male body as I said you think they are horrible cause that's what the world taught you and you didnt go In to depth yourself and actually do some reading or if so and you did you just seen the side effects cause that's what is usually pushed out right away about peds and not the benefits I'm not for teens taking it at all that I will say is not the smartest thing to do hormones are already at pretty high levels at those ages just the way you said that lol made me laugh it sounded like he was gonna die from a heroin addiction, "its unfortunate" lol like his days are numberd from steroids lol not laughing at you mabey the misinformation you have about it is more why I'm laughing
@@wegotussomemedicalwaste clearly you did "bruh" lol ........just next time do some research on what you say and make sure its correct and not just opinion "bruh" not making fun just trying to help sorry lol
Everybody’s talking about how he’s so slow n shit n how he’s prolly on dope, if you listen to any other interview with him or check out his podcast you will realize that he tends to lag behind questions because he actually takes time to think about the right thing to say.
David is highly intelligent and is the kind of guy who knows the power of words. He knows saying the wrong things can end very badly, so he is very mindful of the power he can have or loose just from one statement. Definitely an interesting guy.
I think Finn McKenty from PunkRockMBA says it best. It's a socioeconomic prejudice that people create. King came from a region of the world where failing industry resulted in mass poverty and in turn - violence.
true, also a lot of people who aren’t from that background or can’t even imagine a daily life of violence, drugs, poverty, etc think it’s just dudes trying to be ‘edgy’ but it’s a real life thing and they’re doing a great job expressing it with art imo
@@troywilson4694 that's your opinion and all but what do you do for a living? Wheres your band? Who even knows who you are besides a handful of people? Who pays just to see you? I bet either sittin in a cubical, flippin burgers, landscaping, or putting up drywall. You more than likely dont have a band or let alone play any instrument besides a flesh tube and your probably really good at it. Noone knows you except people who wish they didn't. And I bet noone pays to see you hell your boss probably grunts to themselves everytime they notice you clock in
I watched him throw a goat head into a crowd and whoop some dudes ass in the front row, then get back on stage and perform. Met him shortly after and he was extremely kind. One of the bands I've met that I can truly say are real genuine. He is about the shits tho, dudes for real with his lyrics. One of the last dudes I'd beef with.
When I heard fat around the heart I thought this is different, and with the latest song I'm seriously a fan. You never know what he's going to put out next. Favorite song has to be hellhound or I am the enemy.
Just heard I am the enemy for the first time yesterday. Played it at least 10 times since then. Nothing like it. Killem All is what got me exposed to them. Only the past year did I fully wake up to them.
His music content is so deep and it goes beyond his music by hearing him talk. He does seem incredibly calm, and I want to believe that’s just his personality and not high. At the same time, I wouldn’t blame him if he was, he’s been through hell. Either way, we’re happy to have him!
Around 4 minutes in, you guys talk about singing it having not done some of it. I grew up in flint and i look up in a way because i hate how soft at heart i am and i wish i was as tough as yall seem.
@shartimus maximus You shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet, especially when it comes direct from an absolute hater that thinks David's dad is a dentist. David and I both grew up on Church Street in Flint.

Do not mistake the calmness for weakness. We put in twice the work for half the respect, but godamn it, we get respect.
"8 outta 10 things you did yesterday you probably did today" I see what u did there David
Great observation.
It took me a second to get what you meant lol. I get just a little dumber every day.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity!
I could always tell by his lyrics that he is really deep, educated and well spoken dude. But it's crazy how chill and soft spoken he is when hes just being him.
Yavid brought me to king then here, I can't believe this is the same guy!
“Everyone’s full of shit” THIS is why I like him. He survived because he is INTELLIGENT.

He is hard to read. There's something about him just under the surface cant figure it out. Such an amazing artist though
First time I saw king was in jail on tv .
Wearing a black T which read AINT SHIT FOR FREE .
I can see pure agony in his eyes this guy looks like he's seen the devil and won but at what costs
Exactly, I've been around a lot of people who have been thru a world of pain. That is David.
Ive also been around people who are low key smart as fuck (a coworker) . They were the smartest one in the room but didn't feel the need to show it or wanted to hide it.

@@wegotussomemedicalwaste "dude shoots up roids" and the world told you and said tisk tisk bad you do realize when done correctly steroids can do great things to the Male body you do understand that right and taken in moderation or not even just not overuse and year in year out that's why they have trt or HRT to bring those t levels to a more healthy level in the male body as I said you think they are horrible cause that's what the world taught you and you didnt go In to depth yourself and actually do some reading or if so and you did you just seen the side effects cause that's what is usually pushed out right away about peds and not the benefits I'm not for teens taking it at all that I will say is not the smartest thing to do hormones are already at pretty high levels at those ages just the way you said that lol made me laugh it sounded like he was gonna die from a heroin addiction, "its unfortunate" lol like his days are numberd from steroids lol not laughing at you mabey the misinformation you have about it is more why I'm laughing
@@Twazuhsmalvenner I ain't readin' that mfin novel. Bruh bye.
@@wegotussomemedicalwaste clearly you did "bruh" lol ........just next time do some research on what you say and make sure its correct and not just opinion "bruh" not making fun just trying to help sorry lol
Most of you don't get it, if you lived a normal fairy tale life you'll never get it until you open your mind and eyes
Everybody’s talking about how he’s so slow n shit n how he’s prolly on dope, if you listen to any other interview with him or check out his podcast you will realize that he tends to lag behind questions because he actually takes time to think about the right thing to say.
David is highly intelligent and is the kind of guy who knows the power of words. He knows saying the wrong things can end very badly, so he is very mindful of the power he can have or loose just from one statement. Definitely an interesting guy.
one of the greats!
The most talented frontman in the genre, in the world, today. Pioneer of a sound worthy shit. So fucking talented.
Respect from Detroit, homie👊
He’s brilliant.
I've seen David here and there when I was working in Flint lol
Btw, if anyone is wondering their name is pronounced King 8-1-"OH"
Fack yes! I listen to them doe a while. I've been homeless as a child so I kind of feel I can relate. Awesome interview, thanks metal injection
What do people say bad about these guys? I love there music it’s like metal used to be fuckin raw and hard and yavid is dope as well
I think Finn McKenty from PunkRockMBA says it best. It's a socioeconomic prejudice that people create. King came from a region of the world where failing industry resulted in mass poverty and in turn - violence.
true, also a lot of people who aren’t from that background or can’t even imagine a daily life of violence, drugs, poverty, etc think it’s just dudes trying to be ‘edgy’ but it’s a real life thing and they’re doing a great job expressing it with art imo
Because people think he's a phony gangster. Not saying I do. But I've heard that before
I mean, their music is pretty shit.
@@troywilson4694 that's your opinion and all but what do you do for a living? Wheres your band? Who even knows who you are besides a handful of people? Who pays just to see you? I bet either sittin in a cubical, flippin burgers, landscaping, or putting up drywall. You more than likely dont have a band or let alone play any instrument besides a flesh tube and your probably really good at it. Noone knows you except people who wish they didn't. And I bet noone pays to see you hell your boss probably grunts to themselves everytime they notice you clock in
haha for some reason this is exactly what i imagined him to be like
I watched him throw a goat head into a crowd and whoop some dudes ass in the front row, then get back on stage and perform. Met him shortly after and he was extremely kind. One of the bands I've met that I can truly say are real genuine. He is about the shits tho, dudes for real with his lyrics. One of the last dudes I'd beef with.
I can't find the Kill em All official video anywhere. WTF? Who is deciding for me what I can or cannot watch? ~!LET'S RIDE!~
you can tell his brain works 1000 times faster than his mouth, that is a sign of a true intellectual and wise person. Haters will hate.
He starts to come out his shell but then catches himself like oops gotta be dark. Reminds me of the gorgoroth interview lol
Lyrical Genius
Can David get a ft with Silpknot?
Mate they're band was literally on tour with the a couple years back. I saw them live lol
@@RyanE860 yeah, they toured together in 2015
The Prepare for hell tour was sick with korn too.
I saw them in Wembley when they did the beastie boys cover of sabotage
@@RyanE860 Nice first time i saw them was tattoo the earth 2000 in San Antonio they were insane.
I Am (I love you) -to David Gunn
Keep the fire rolling ✔🔥🇨🇦
When I heard fat around the heart I thought this is different, and with the latest song I'm seriously a fan. You never know what he's going to put out next. Favorite song has to be hellhound or I am the enemy.
Just heard I am the enemy for the first time yesterday.
Played it at least 10 times since then.
Nothing like it.
Killem All is what got me exposed to them. Only the past year did I fully wake up to them.
There isn't anything from king I don't like. I ain't going back again has to be one of my favorites
I'm glad you guys left on good terms. Make your money
Lol "you're fighting a war in a battalion, and you look over at your buddy and say, ""why don't you just leave?"" That cracked me the hell up
I love that we hear trucks in the backdrown. Truly commendable #King810
imagine thinking that backdrown is a word lol. Its background ya tard.
Fuck I could jus sit and listen to David talk bout anything
Coming from the land of the heartless much love feel everything you say
His music content is so deep and it goes beyond his music by hearing him talk. He does seem incredibly calm, and I want to believe that’s just his personality and not high. At the same time, I wouldn’t blame him if he was, he’s been through hell. Either way, we’re happy to have him!
David needs a fucking hug. Or a walk in a field full of flowers or some shit. Just depressing
That was an amazing interview.
Honest and can relate to him. All you can ask
this guy is more than music
Idk if King ever sees the reason I comment from time to time.... Really like to get in contact. Bending the senses.
Want a king bandana so bad. 3 or 4 hundred tunes? Put that shit out!! Please!
When you are from flint you understand why its hard to leave this shit ass city i love it its home i aint leaving
THE DAYTON FAMILY
I play Memoirs all the time!
Omg so good luv David and his book is badass 🖤
He's my absolute favorite singer. First Freddy Mercury, then Dax Riggs, Jonathan David but now David Gunn has surpassed them a
I like him and all but he will never surpass freddy mercury
Around 4 minutes in, you guys talk about singing it having not done some of it. I grew up in flint and i look up in a way because i hate how soft at heart i am and i wish i was as tough as yall seem.
I find it fucken crazy that David has killed people, been shot, stabbed, left for dead, and still is this absolute chill
@shartimus maximus You’ve clearly never been to Flint hahaha
@shartimus maximus You shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet, especially when it comes direct from an absolute hater that thinks David's dad is a dentist. David and I both grew up on Church Street in Flint.
Only violent people are capable of being peaceful, if you are not capable violence then you are not peaceful, you're harmless.
See y'all in atx April 11
love this dude
Well put. 🤘😁
I dont listen to yavid-king 110 all the time. Theres a time & place when the mood is right. Sometimes we need to be provoked
Flint seems like one of many forgotten places in US, Why hate this man for exposing the problems there.
Nobody hates him for that reason.
King Is Love.
No
I wonder if he ever gets tired of people saying “eight ten” rather than “eight one oh.” Brutal.
*3-1-3rd, 3-1-3rd!*
@@mostlypeacefulmisterputin NOW EVERYBODY IN THE 3-1-3, PUT YOUR MOTHERFUCKIN’ HANDS UP AND FOLLOW MEEEEE!
whoa he looked like brock lesnar in alpha video now he looks like road dogg jesse james
Yeah but both aren't bad right?
