    He seems like such a genuine, awesome guy. Like, zero pretensions. Crazy ideas, total out of the box thinking, but no garbage.

      There’ll never be another Lemmy, but Matt clearly does wear some of his influences on his sleeve, Lemmy being an obvious choice. I am a huge fan of HOF’s no frills approach to playing metal. Keep it simple, loud and fast…

    • @TheVoidwithChristina
      @TheVoidwithChristina  8 лет назад +4

      +mondola Yeah I think it's rad he does that much research when writing a record ... lyrics are such a lost art. There are a few real poets around these days, but man it's a dying art, really thoughtful music.

    • @ahnhenden
      @ahnhenden 8 лет назад

      +The Void AU Is it bad that I prefer instrumental more than lyrical music?
      As my profile picture would suggest, I love Pelican, but they only have one song with vocals. Elder and Earthless are some of my favourite bands, and Elder uses vocals sparingly. Same with Sleep. I never really listen to lyrics myself. Each to their own though. I prefer to be taken away by the music; vocals can play a part in that as well, obviously haha.

  • @CaseyChristopher
    @CaseyChristopher 8 лет назад

    Matt is honestly, of all musicians/artists that I am aware of, gives the most thoughtful and ruminating interviews. Every one I have ever watched is like philosophy, zen, politics, existentialism, and a level of emotional transparency without pretense that is quite cathartic. You know, like listening to a Sleep or High on Fire record. Great interview.

    • @TheVoidwithChristina
      @TheVoidwithChristina  8 лет назад +1

    cool interview.. always had a lot of respect for Matt.. definitely one of the most down to earth people in the music industry. Never acts like he's superior like a good amount of them do, you can tell he's a fan just as much as anyone else is. Also seems more grateful for his fans than a lot of musicians do. Glad to see he's cleaned his act up, if anything just stick to weed, anything else just isn't worth it in the long run. Cool interview, just a suggestion that it'd be a lot better if you had a second mic haha.

I usually have someone else shoot it ... it's a different story if you have someone monitoring audio. But thanks for the feedback!
