#Interview #OKIMSICK #MentalHealth #Death #Rock #Ghost #Music
The whole album is so impressive, and the songs are so personal. I can't get enough, and this little interview just made me fall in love with the band even more
Listening to 'Daddy' was the first time I'd heard my own early life experiences reflected in music so unabashedly.
Makes me feel less ashamed.
same for me ❤
You can tell the interviewer is a genuine fan and it makes me really happy
As far as triggers go, my mom and friends told me to not listen to it since its so raw but I mentioned it too my therapist and he encouraged me to listen to it and similar stuff when I feel very alone and depressed. What ppl dont get is that listening to it makes me feel like my depression is valid and someone understands...and that is amazing, howevee listening to happy by pharrell will make me feel awful. I remember being in the psych ward with a tv with no remote 24/7 watching music videos and they played happy over and over... It was torture I swear...
Making it relatable, in the days of the highlight real we call social media it helps you get through the day to realize you're not the only one going through hardships like this .
I related a lot to ghost. Reminded me of how I felt all those years ago. And it made me reflect on how I got better.
My favorite quote that I've ever heard from an interview from Josh was
"Sure, every guitar riff has been played, but every word; every lyric hasn't been spoken yet."
Ghost speaks to me so much. My dad committed suicide 10 years ago and it is something I can never get over.
I'm so so sorry for your loss, I lost my friend to suicide last year. It's not as hard as losing s father but it hurts as much. Sending a lot of love to you 💕💕
His voice is a lot deeper than then I thought it would be
i think that might be because its over the phone. i met him and his voice wasnt as deep as it is in this video
Their album speaks on many important issues that happen in the world and I'm happy that it's being spread through music
I agree with Josh's perspective on trigger warnings. At the end of the day, I have to deal with and work through my issues myself. And the only things I've ever found to be triggering are graphic depictions of self harm, anyways. Which they didn't do with their music video for Ghost. I've always found music to be cathartic and validating because it expresses what I can't put words to or am too afraid to talk about or it helps me to feel everything, let it out, and stay safe.
Mad respect for these guys, takes a lot of balls to open ip like that.
well damn, this man has got some wisdom and life understanding to share.
I recently discovered this band when they played with The Wrecks (my friend's band) and fell in love instantly. They have something real to say with their lyrics and I hope that never changes.
Toni has the perfect radio voice.
They're performing in my city in 2 hours. I've been counting down for weeks. But tickets are sold out. So instead I'm laying in bed trying to figure out if I can convince my mom to drive me 8 hours to see the nearest show after that when she doesnt even like the band. Says they're disturbing.
How did that go?
Badflower. An awesome band.
I’ve don’t think I loved an entire album this much! Fck how fearless is Josh with that voice! Im blown away, & I’m happy he’s in the lime light.
Am obsessed with this album , there are very few albums in my life where i love all the songs and this is one of them, also i hope music comes back around to this hard edge rock BUT with badflower tellings of the truth, they have the instrumentals, the voice the lyrics but all the songs have truth to them not just catchy hooks. Can’t wait to see them live .
This interview made me love Josh so much more!!!!!
for real, murder games is so hard imma be vegan after 10 times on repeat
Thanks #JoshKatz no triggers, they help!
Thanks for the Video ❤️ 💕. Love Bad Flower ❤️❣️ Ghost Rocks. Wish You Guy's The Best.
Daddy really does make me feel understood, how sexual abuse can fuck you up & make you feel dependent on your abuser bc they say they hurt you out of love & being young it’s impossible to know better if you haven’t had a healthy experience ever.. does it trigger me?! it made me cry, which is healthy. art should trigger people.
I just found these guys. They are nothing short of amazing. I am always on the lookout for honest, raw, real, true lyricists.. poets.. who compliment the words they write and feel with exquisite sound. I feel so privileged to listen into the minds and emotions of these artists.
After this interview, I love them more!
Ghost is so powerful and I have had issues with self harm and this song Ghost is like some one speaking my mind, thank you Josh
Fucking adore this band.
I appreciate this interview and I appreicate him
This is 2 years old and I know he'll never hear it or see it, but like daddy definitely made me feel heard. Didn't trigger anything for me personally
Never heard Blackflower but I will definitely be checking them out now!
It's lame
Badflower! Check out their songs Ghost and Drop Dead if you’re interested :)
FANToMAS 619 You’re lame.
You guys should do a piece on Dry Kill Logics upcoming album
I was kind of hoping to also hear his perspective on writing "We're in Love", but oh well.
Dope
On Daddy …….
First I hate the word “trigger”. Yes it brought out bad memories, yes I cried. HARD.
They lyrics that got me was “She’d be so much more if Daddy only stopped when she begged him before”.
Ghost never triggered me. But it hit me hard, so did daddy. But lets be honest. I'm a vegan now. Thanks Josh
I love this band so muchhhh
Anyone else excited for this?!!
I love the album guys! Great interview.
YAAASSS
The Jester was wrote about 20 years ago on the Manson forums, but is about the music industry.
Cry was wrote around the same time as All Out Life and Do Your Worst, lyrically, none were wrote by the artist.
This album is A FUCKING BLAST !! THANKS GUYYYYYYS 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🖖🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love his perspective on trigger warnings.
do 10 unforgettable justin chancellor moments
I actually cut to ghost
I hope you’re doing okay. Talk to me if you need it
Duh!!!
Honestly this band changes their name and I'll love em
.... what's wrong with the bandname?
The Cartunes was dope, but Badflower fits better I think
Radio girl plss be your self
Man I'm old this new metal/rock whatever its called now sucks! Every band sound the same I or dont stand out I miss the 90 music.
They played the living hell out of their first single about "cutting their wrists" on local radio for about 2 months. I was so sick of it, that I wanted to cut my own. We have lost too many great artist as of the last few years. I am tired of the whiney " I want to kill myself" rock. Man up, and lets get back to work.
Give it a year or two..they'll turn to a pop band...
As do I dude, as do I
The 90s had the same as of today's. I mean, grunge, alternative metal, emo? Those had similar topics that are seen today.
Ok hold on. I’m a fan of 90’s music and I listen to a lot of Green Day, but Badflower is insanely good. For examples from the 90’s, Nirvana. They have good songs, but they’re honestly not anywhere close to being the best band. Badflower is completely different than any rock from the last 20 to 30 years.
