"The hair is the source for power" then Claudio's eyes light up like he's thinking of how to integrate that into the Vaxis storyline!
Jeff Harris an allegory for Samson has been put into play
Somebody’s gotta get Claudio to open up about his time making Black Rainbow. That album is completely mysterious.
Would love to know more about that 😮
God.. this guy hasn’t visibly aged in 15 years...
Right? Lol
Just the chin and hair become more majestic
That means he's avoiding drugs, booze and shit like that. That shit ages people like crazy.
You should see down there.
@@eque8618 he's the Mufasa of rock
Like if Coheed is one of the greatest bands that ever lived
You won't get any argument here, them and right next door is The Dear Hunter :p
i agree, but im not liking your comment because shit like that is dumb
Thumbs up. Unheavenly Creatures is my album of the year, hands down.
I rarely give likes to people who ask but I agree with u 100% and I like your name so here is your 101st like you slag
@@user-ri9rx weird flex but ok
Welcome Home is the greatest riff and song of this generation.

When I heard this man’s voice on A Favor House Atlantic in 5th grade watching MTV videos up way too late I became an instant fan.
When I heard this man's voice on A Favor House Atlantic in 5th grade listening to the radio I thought it was the voice of a woman.
I have vague memories of me and my friends singing good eye sniper at each other in 6th grade when we were acting stupid. For some reason we all lived on music videos from Fuse TV at that age
good ear, sniper!
@mysteriousmr.j9420 Heard it for the first time on a PS2 game called ATV Offroad Fury 3, and that was the only song I knew for like, 14-15 years, and I always thought he was a woman lol
I kept looking for the lineup change on their wikipedia, but nope, just Claudio lol
Man, I remember seeing Coheed with slipknot. Hadn’t spoke to the guys in years. It was very heavy for me to be there. Anyway, I ran into Claudio like 30 min before they play. It was weird. We didn’t speak. Just a look. That has nothing to do with why I’m commenting haha. So, watching Coheed play there’s a kid in front of me with his middle finger in the air the entire show. Even I, who wasn’t on good terms with Claudio and Travis, couldn’t help but take some offense. So this kid stands with his finger in the air and one would assume he HATED Coheed. Imagine my surprise when after Coheed’s set he returns from Merch with a Coheed shirt and a bag full of Coheed goodies. So I always wonder if these guys thought they were throwing up a brick- but slipknot fans view the middle finger as a showing of support. Interesting haha
Well, we're stoked your back now, Josh. And if anyone gives you the finger we will take them out. (Unless they're a Slipknot fan.)
Josh Eppard that’s funny man, it’s interesting to see how different fan bases have their own little ways of showing their “alliance” per say. What’s even better is that the guys didn’t get upset. I know a lot of bands that have stopped the show from a middle finger being thrown.
I’m so glad you’re back in the band. We missed you man. Seeing y’all in 8 days 🤘🏻
I remember being at one of Coheed's shows in Arizona with Slipknot and Trivium. I was so excited that Claudio was doing a signing at Atomic Comics. I was so nervous but I met him and got my guitar signed and got a picture taken . Best day ever
Your really great talent man, I'm in a band and go through a lot of darkness I've seen your bio and it helps me to see your storyline... so thank you! If you get a chance check us out we love you guys! The Les Dillinger (Self Titled EP): ruclips.net/p/PLd5MPoxGYS3Kb0AVC-dq6PGM_NLojnfb7
Holy shit! Wattup Josh! Much love, wish you guys were coming to Dallas, TX. Gonna have to go all the way down to Houston to see ya!
Claudio's smile makes the Sun blush
Keeping secrets is a full on masterpiece
Good apollo 1 too.
josh alderete 4 is my favorite
My favorite song on that album is A lot of Nothing 7 but A lot of Nothing 5 is pretty good too
This was the band that helped me with some real shitty times in my life. Their stories in their songs and comics helped me to escape my real life during those low points. I will always be a child of the fence
Likewise.
same in keeping was one of the first albums i ever heard in general and life was changed after that
Me too. It’s amazing as we age and revisit the music that it almost morphs based on new experiences
Foo Fighters and Coheed would be the rock tour of the century.
Jason Nowak Coheed and Tool. And I actually got to experience that.
Matt Smith hol up they toured with Tool before?
iro Palooka it was for a 2 day music fest
Foo Fighters Coheed and Tool would be the greatest tour in music history
I got to see Coheed and Tool in one day at a music fest. Nothing beats that.
i got to see coheed and soundgarden, was also a fantastic show. got to see coheed again after covid.
What did they play
I almost saw coheed and fall of Troy together. So close.
Jesus that's fucking insane
I was there too! Coachella 2006. There were so many good bands that year.
KOO KOO KACHOO~
Keep the fence in check while I go off duty to sleep. :p always one among it.
one day we will get a full animated amory wars one day
Raistlin Majere I hoping for a gaming series
Claudio said on an interview with 100.3 The X today that an adaptation "It will happen eventually, we're working with showrunners to try and figure it out" but he also said it's an expensive endeavour. He also revealed that Vaxis 3 will probably drop next year.
Dude I have a coheed tat and barely understand the Amory wars I just completely love the music
I’m on the same wavelength. Bout to get a nice keywork.
I’ve been following Claudio and Coheed since the very beginning. Every time they come to the Tampa area I’ve seen them (haven’t missed a show yet) My car is covered in their bumper stickers. Even my children sing along now. I met my husband and started dating him due to him knowing and loving them as much as I did/do.
COHEED will forever be the best band EVER!!!!! 🤘🏻
One of the best interviews I've ever watched/read. This interviewer is on point. Very well done. The interviewer is very knowledgable, yet engaged, allows the answers to come as they may, but still steers the interview as well. Very well done.
“When you get on stage, you’re a fucking beast!”
No truer words have ever been spoken in the history of humanity.
Firstly, I have stumbled across C&C in the last month in lockdown. I am quite badly disabled so music generally is perhaps a bit more therapeutic than someone not in my situation. I have found C&C massively inspirational and almost meditative which good music does for me. I have picked up a guitar and found some inspiration writing short stories again. Finally, I haven’t caught them live, however have seen them on you tube...amazing live and the energy is addictive. Can’t wait for them at Download UK.
I was one of those Slipknot fans who turned on to them after seeing them at that show. They have been my favorite band for nearly ten years now. Thank you, for taking a chance like that.
Hearing how Wilhelm Ryan’s name was created is actually amazing and kind of hilarious at the same time 😂
Saw Coheed open for The Used at HoB Myrtle Beach 2002. That was an incredible show.
He mentions the band not being totally bought into the parallel comic book story but I think it’s a large part of what’s sustained their success. So many bands of those days wrote solely about their emotions and personal situations. Things change, life goes on and those creative wells run dry. Coheed not only continues to write amazing music but they’re expanding their listener base. One of the few bands from those days that can say that.
Yeah, I became a fan for the music just a few months ago
You did an awesome job on this interview Kerrang! I love Coheed and Cambria since day 1 and I have been following them relentlessly despite the fact that I am far away from their usual place, but I can tell you, I have never seen Claudio this comfortable in an interview. Thank you Kerrang!
btw: I did some covers of their songs in my channel if anybody is in to that.
We appreciate that!
Saw them in columbia sc last Friday. One of the most amazing things I have ever see.
I LOVED this interview! The back-and-forth was absolutely spectacular!
Man I loved seeing them here in fort smith a few days ago. I hope they come back soon. Amazing energy after all this time...
I didn't expect Claudio to say Bon Iver when he was asked about his favourite contemporary music!
I don't know how much demand there would be for a Coheed/Bon Iver tour, they're not exactly a neat fit, but I'd attend the hell out of that. Claudio and Justin are two of my favourite songwriters of all time. Both incredible live too
A wonderful interview. Such a fan and I always like to hear his perspective on music.
Very interesting to learn that SSTB was just demos. If you listen to those old demos and EPs, they definitely share a lot in common with that first album more than any other.
my 2 favorite lyricists both started in a pet store. maynard keenan and claudio sanchez
Love this video Love this band thank you.
I'm a new fan...been listening to you for 2 yrs. Now, my 1st time seeing you live was in Columbus Ohio at Express live and you guys totally rocked my soul...i can't wait to see you again ...and I've been going back and listening to your older stuff and you all blow me away...Keep ROCKIN' !!THANKS FOR PUTTING YOUR HEART IN TO YOUR MUSIC...and i love your hair and smile...
Just a fantastic interesting human being, every time I learn something new about him I'm just blown away.
Great interview. I didn't know how chill Claudio really was until now.
Fantastic interview, good vibes, good questions, clearly well-researched. I really enjoyed it.
first time seeing coheed in philly this past summer, what an experience, i remember seeing claudio come out with the double necked guitar and i knew welcome home was the last song, finally mustered up the courage to crowd surf for the first time. you guys killed it! can't wait for the next time.
Going to see them live next week! Can't wait!
My dad introduced me to coheed and cambria and right away i loved it
You are an awesome person and you probably don't even know it :p
Mu dick
same here!!
I did the opposite with my old man, im 17 and he's 44, so unfortunate we didnt hear it before. And here in Brasil there are like, REALLY few fans, ive never seen any
What a genuinely nice guy. Claudio is the man
The interviewer did an awesome job, fluently working the conversation and having relevant questions. Great transitions. Honestly I just wanted to hear Claudio but was thoroughly impressed
hes great love him so much!
Man i love him.
Hell ya josh. See them in Sacramento with slipknot. I got in a fight with a guy who was giving the band shit. Everyone realized what he was doing, and he was tossed 30 feet per second.... Gone. So glad to have you back. You are absolutely amazing!
This was a great engaging interview, great listen and participation from both individuals
Oooooooohhhhhhhh helllllll yeahhhhhhhh just come back to Seattle so I can drag my friends along and I can once and for all show them why Coheed is the greatest band of our time.
For the 1:22 question. I have been a fan of the music for about a decade, but just got Armory wars for a Christmas present. I'm a fan of the comic, but honestly the music has A LOT more of my attention. Whatever you guys do though, keep it going. You guys rock!
Just a Great Guy.. I met him a few time Many many years ago. Opening for Thrusday at the Marqee in Arizona .. I was always glad they got devoted Fans. Peace..
At Zero I’ve met him every time I’ve see them! I have yet to meet Josh! I’ve met everyone else but him
love claudio
I love concept albums so it's both for me.
Long live the heed
I interrupted Claudio at Warped Tour when he was trying to run away to get food and even hangry he was the nicest dude on the planet. I’m so happy they’re still around and absolutely pumping out music.
My house is full of planted aquariums! Ill never forget seeing Claudio hanging out in the crowd at house of blues- hair was larger than life.
This my teen years here. And don't get fooled, C+C perform best when in front of a tiny crowd, where communication still is present!
"Man, I think I just wrote this Tool song." Maybe that's why I love that dynamic riff so much. Great interview! Claudio is really humble even to the point of self-deprecation - I love him and the band. Hard to believe it's been almost a decade since seeing them on their Black Rainbow tour.
If Claudio is ever looking for producers who would treat coheed like it's their full time thing maybe he could look towards younger guys who have been living and breathing coheed for the past 10 years ☺️increeeeedible interview, great questions and awesome hearing from claudio at such depth and length!!
The reason why I LOVE Coheed and Cambria is because it tells a story and there’s true meaning behind the music!
I ordered the firdt ever kerrang magazine 😅 didnt knoe it was still going. Good job
I met him swimming in the pool out back of Birch Hill in Old Bridge, NJ probably 2002-03. Dude seemed just as gracious then as he does today
Can’t wait to see you for the 5th time in June!!!!
Fantastic Vocalist. Awesome band....Most of their albums are platinum in my heart. 🎶 "Annd so the stooooryy goes..when i leave will you leeeeeet meee goooo"
When the words stop coming and the fear starts setting in slooow
Just discovered this band
The vocals are ridiculous
Can’t believe this is him
It's really typical in an awesome way .Because alot of prog influenced bands are high standard intellectuals. And all of them are virtuoso at thier skills musically. And not only are the fans the same these types of musicians inspire all people to aspire in various ways. Prog music is various in many genre's all meshed in one which is brilliant. Fans to are all intellectuals as well. To me I love high standard intelligence in individuals it's so inspiring to me. Gotta love lineups like coheed dream theater for shedding light on contemporary intellectuals and music 👍🎵🎶💞
His laugh is literally contagious!
Claudio "You Know" Sanchez
This came out like right after i officially decided i was a fan
Welcome to the fence
banny sub smh my head
incredible interview questions
I wanna give poor Claudio a hug and tell him “everything’s gonna be Ok.” 😢 Makes me wonder if “shoulders” draws inspiration from the past turmoil of the band. What a hardworking dude.
really cool interview...worth the listen
Tickled at 26:45 ! Feature length film anyone?
BOTH!!!!
In April 2004 I saw A favor House Atlantic. I hated them. Singer and all. March 2005 I heard the songs IKSSE3, Three Evils, Blood Red Summer and Delirium Trigger on Winmix as I was waiting while downloading music. I was HOOKED after that and have beem hooked ever since. Every album has saved my life in one way or another. The new album is amazing. So long as you keep it up Claudio, I will continue to invest in the experience. Stay strong 💪
Delirium trigger *victory screech*
Claudio voice is of a God and it’s gotten so much better with age with a lower wicked sound.
This is awesome!
This interview is fucking choice! Thank you kerrang and Claudio 🙌🏻
Wilhelm Ryan is the one dislike 😒
Crazy part about him saying playing with Slipknot was hard. We saw them in Tulsa, OK... I had no idea that they were opening for Slipknot. Slipknot gained a couple new fans that night. Took my youngest son to see Coheed again this past weekend in fort Smith AR and they're just as good as I remembered!
Such a nice guy
All these cool things going down when I was born, I wish I was there for it dang :/
Saw them live a few months ago for the first time ever. Best live show from a band I've ever seen. This is coming from someone who's a die hard Metallica fan who has seen them live a couple times. Coheed may not have all the theatrics of other bands (they still have some good ones), but their precision and accuracy while playing is unmatched.
Same. Like I've seen Metallica, Iron Maiden multiple times and Coheed was just something else. It just sounds so good, and heavier than I expected. And like you said even without all those theatrics it was amazing. Plus the crowd interaction was unlike I've ever seen at a show.
Brian Coheed is literally the best live band ever. I was too young to go see Zeppelin back in the 70s.
best god damn interview i've seen
This man is great, YOU KNOW
I always loved the concept of the story and whatnot, but it was super confusing not having read any of the comics. I just recently bought the two collected volumes currently out. Before it was just so difficult to get it at a good price. I'm really looking forward to Good Apollo Volume One when the collected book comes out. It's also my favorite album of theirs. But man, is Unheavenly Creatures an amazing album. It's always so hard to choose a favorite, but No World For Tomorrow, The Afterman, and Unheavenly Creatures are all also so good. I didn't get into the band until Good Apollo, and I'd heard of them and liked them when Silent Earth 3 came out. I felt like it was a little hard to go back to the rawness of Second Stage and listen to it, but it has grown on me over the years. They're definitely one of my top 3 favorite bands.
I'm also hoping Claudio goes back on Game Grumps sometime soon.
I love this man so goddamn much. Sucks hearing about the tour they had planned knowing a pandemic was looming
This man is a genius.
Great interview!!
COHEED AND CAMBRIA, COHEED AND CAMBRIA, COHEED AND CAMBRIA!!!!!
HIS VOICE!!!!!
I'm disappointed that no one yelled "HEEEE.. SHABOOTIEEEE!!" at 2:37
Claudio been moisturizing that hair 😍
I know... his hair looks so good!!!!!!!
HES SO HUMBLE!!!
what a sweet guy
I just came here to see how different his talking voice was from his singing voice! O.o
i fuckin love that guy
I was hoping he dove into The Prize Fighter Inferno because I think I’ve read that Claudio’s brother is a boxer which is where the inspiration came from for the character and the album.
Maybe they are going to get into a concept album personal album pattern with the new single jessies girl 2 ... and i am more than happy with that
Last album was so good.
I wish I could afford the Amory Wars comic books! I've always loved comic books, my dad used to take me to buy them since I could remember, so I became a collector...and when I found out that my favorite band ( coheed ) was all part of this comic book story, my mind was blown but I went to buy it and idk where I went, I think I went to ebay, and they wanted like 30 bucks for one idk that just doesn't fit my lifestyle 😅 🙃 😐 so I'm still waiting but now I've tricked my mind into thinking I'm just keep treasure hidden for when I run out of everything else to spend my money on...so on that note I've gotta get these comic books...it's a shame that I haven't by now....okay Claudio I hear you!!!♡♡♡(I played the crowing at my father's funeral and when I stopped using drugs the first song I heard when my mom saved me from the being homeless on the streets 2 years ago ( a month will be 2 years!) The first song I heard, though, was the gutter, perfect! And my favorite part of my life that y'all ( coheed ) became a piece Of is when in keeping secrets came out, the whole album, and me and my ex would drive around with the windows down screaming every word that we thought we knew! I love this band and I can't wait to devour more of them through these comic books! I LOVE YOU GUYS! )
When it’s all over his hair needs to be in a museum
I always thought the intro riff from Welcome Home sounded like a Tool cover of the Tetris theme.
I thought of that as Ten Speed's guitar parts.
