With special guest appearance from Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, ex-Down bassist Rex Brown (Pantera) and Eyehategod singer Mike IX Williams.

NOLA came outta nowhere. No radio play, nothing. Just word of mouth and blew up. Still one of my favs. Lifer!!!
If i listen to Temptations Wings, i NEED to listen to the entire record. Every single song hits me a different way.
Truth
A Favourite song right there!🤘
I love the hole ablum
Our trust is in whiskey, weed, and Black Sabbath. Its goddamn electric. Great video 🤘
She's an excellent interviewer. Asks great questions and lets them respond without interrupting. Right on.
Winter of '95 during a late night stroll through a Circuit City, this random employee pulls me aside and asks if I like metal....he walks me back into their home theater room (back then they had a room closed off from the rest of the store just for house stereos) and he put Nola on some huge rack stereo system with some 15 inch Cerwin-Vega speakers and cranked it up to 11. I was already a huge Pantera fan but had no idea what Down was (we didn't have the internet/RUclips to find bands back then). It was a holy experience. That opening riff on Temptation's Wings was incredible. I walked out with the cassette and it didn't leave my Walkman for months. I had a job at a local grocery store and I'd volunteer to take the trash out just so I can jam a couple songs while I was outside.
Stone the Crow is one of my top songs of all time.
SFS Ditto
sheit......Phil smoked the crow, he’s stoned off his ass! 🤪
Yup...
You damn right! Such a powerful song and Bury Me In Smoke 💨 another good one. Every song on that album is golden.
@plaguelock YES! I am so happy that everyone feels like I do about this record. Reading all these comments makes me mega happy. Lets all hope they realise how much love there is, and make some new music that honours it on a whole new level.
And yes! Stone the Crow and Bury Me In Smoke (hell Temptations Wings, the list goes on) ... what makes it special for the is they're all Songs. No filler. All full stories, mini films. So good.
Happy to hear Carnivore mentioned. Their self titled debut (1985) still in my play list! R.I.P. Peter Steele
🙏🏽
I had all these Peter / Type O questions for Kirk (who as you can see has a mega Type O tattoo but I got so into the conversation I fucking didn't ask them ... bummed for weeks. Now, Type O October Rust is a fucking eternally excellent record for all types of situations.
@@TheVoidwithChristina As a kid I couldn't stop listening to the first Carnivore album. As an adult now I realize why: Peter was suuuuch a cynic! My favourite album for cleaning the house too!😉
Already dropped this somewhere else in a comment, but I strongly suggest a good dose of Persefone in days like these..
Take care.
Bruh for years I thought type o negative wrote cinnamon girl until I heard Neil young's version. Peter sounded great on that cut they did of cinnamon girl!
@@HellaKwik Type O had to cancel a show here in Jax FL in ‘94 because the ceiling over the stage was WAY too low to accommodate Peter. 😂
Great album. Down and Mad Season were 2 awesome side project bands that put out debut albums in 95.
Both absolutely beautiful in different ways. NOLA is like hot summer and Above is like cold winter
So true.
Mad season was a bit overrated in my opinion, it was not even close to the musical quality of "Nola".
This made quarantine a little easier this morning
They played lysergic funeral in Brisbane but nowhere else in the country. I'll always remember that day, shredding my air guitar and doing a Scott Ian style stomping dance that kicked up a cloud of dust. 5 down shows in 7 days.. i will never forget it
"Poverty is not for me, but i'll take her back again...." Damn i love this album
To prove a point! To laugh it off! .......
To cross you from my paaaaaaaath !
🤘🤘
That's my favorite DOWN song! I can relate to it so much. "Dog in heat, beware the streets, it's there you'll meet your end". That really resonates with me!
Still one of the greatest debut albums EVER!!!!! Was fortunate to have seen them on the NOLA tour at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit Rock City, on Sept. 25, 1995.
NOLA is one of my favourite albums of all time, as a guitarist it's just so fun to play the heavy chugging riffs and the melodic solos from the album. A Beautiful, emotional, dark and brutal album, it's just perfect :D
One of very few albums I can listen to from start to finish everytime.
Saw them in January of "96 in Shreveport, LA. Absolutely one of the best concerts i have ever seen..The club held 500 people and the mosh pit had all 500 in it! Phil mentioned several times how he had never seen the entire freaking audience in the pit!
That album took metal back from the alternative bands and stood tall and to this day it's played at my house all the time! Thanks to them all!
Awesome video Christina, you can see in the footage all the years you've put in interviewing the guys & that you've obviously earned their respect. NOLA is home for me & next time you get a chance to interview Kirk Windstein ask him what he used to pull out on stage during the Victorian Blitz days? and to make the facial expression he would make at that time. Insight only a true Nola native & very long time fan would know to ask this question & I know you & the fans will be more than amused & entertained with his answer.
I am sure that Phil got something very very organic for this interview
He is in hippie mode.
I dropped acid and blasted Down live in 2013, nothing was ever quite as pure and energetic as their performance. Changed my world yall.
Yess transcendental shit!
Christina you are the best. There's not enough people in Australia that do what you do. Your flying the metal flag for Australia and as an older Aussie metalhead myself, there just isn't enough of us left these days. Down - nola is very special to me. I toured Australia as a punter last time they were here and saw them in every city. It was one of the best weeks of life. So I appreciate this muchly
....still got 2 original "Down.N.O.L.A" cd's picture disks!!! Baby!!!!!
"Pantera....was a breath of fresh air.....baby!!!
I miss the days when you traded tapes of bands you'd heard of. Word of mouth. When Down came out it was awesome. Running around asking friends if they had it. Now you just hop on your computer and Google it.
For real that's how I learned about more underground death metal like Skinless Decapitated Cattle Decapitation Nile Krisiun from album borrowing back in early 2000's
I was introduced to Pantera in college in 2000. Didn’t know about Down until 2016! And I’m from Louisiana! NOLA is so dirty and so New Orleans. If you’re from Louisiana you know a Louisiana sound / vibe when you hear it. Amazing music!
Album changed my life...such an awesome release
I'm from Nola and I Love this record, Stone the Crow is fantastic. Bury me in smoke will be playing at my funeral
Life changing album.
Eyes Of The South & Pillars of Eternity are my favs, but the whole album is a masterpiece.
I was living in southern Florida, it was 1996, sophomore, a friend bought the NOLA cd without ever hearing it just because Phil was there, we played it the first time, and we were hooked. Individual Thought Patterns by Death and NOLA by Down became my two favorites of that time.
Thanks for this video and the memories.
Awesome!!
Nola is one of my favorite album ever! Got that shit on vinyl🤘🏻 hail DOWN!
Sooo blessed 4 badass PANTERA ! C.f.h best ever !
One of my al time favorite albums and bands.
AWESOME birthday gift to me! DOWN is my favorite band next to PANFUCKINTERA!!!!
Happy birthday! Getcha pull ... as they say in Texas 😊😊
@@TheVoidwithChristina Much LOVE!!! Thank you!!!!!
The greatest side project in Metal. DOWN!🤘
No doubt!
Hands, DOWN!!
Seriously one of the most underrated records of all time. it’s just as good as any of the pantera records to me! right on
I have no doubt that Down will come back some day with new kickass songs. Cheers!
Looking great, charming the world, elevating the mood with your enthusiasm and damned good editing too
Thank you! I spent an absurd amount of time on it (days and days) so stoked people are enjoying it! Warms my heart.
@@TheVoidwithChristina The care and attention shows. Great job
Great job 👏🏻. Great band !
Hell yeah. DOWN has a special place in my heart. They introduced me to that New Orleans scene.
Anybody else notice Pepper's FOGHAT bandana, he's oldschool as hell
Yep! You can hear the ol school rock in his music..no matter how heavy, it's still got that seasoning in it
Thank you! This is such a great album!
Damn, 25 years ago in high school hearing NOLA for the first time. Never stopped listening to Down (or CoC, Pantera, crowbar, Black Sabbath, etc), and never will. Look forward to blasting their music thru my hearing aids 25 years from now. Thank you Christina🤘
Me too
Same
Saw them in Nashville a few years ago. They played the whole NOLA album. It took me back in time. Had chills the whole night.
Jesus, could Phil be any higher during the interview? Lol
Yes.
@@nicproctor4818 Hahahahahhahahha
Off his tits. Hah
Hahaha
I have never seen him NOT high as giraffe p$%sy in an interview LMAO
That was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
One of my favorite albums ever!
Great vid of one of my favorite bands of all time. Thanks.
Great video! THE POWER OF THE RIFF COMPELS ME!!!
This video is put together so well. Love the montage.
EVERYTHING NEEDS A MONTAGE
The Void with Christina even Rocky had a montage!
I'm beyond proud to have seen this tour in New Orleans back in the 90's. This is cool thanks
Thank you for this!! N.O.L.A Music 4 Life!!
Best band on planet earth, when they get to together. DOWN!
So you still think we live on a spinning ball of water? 🤦♂️
wow 25 years. such a great, iconic album! love it.
Down is one of my All-time favorites. NOLA is an incredible album.
Fantastic watch! Thank you
Thanks dude!
Great video, love NOLA.
Heard Nola when it was released , DPK Humboldt, CA. , 25 years later still listening and it still amazes me, thanks fellas much gratitude .
Awesome video thank you 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Love the clips, love the interviews, love the presentation... and I love this album. I remember buying NOLA when I was 13 and it was one of the few records I bought that I knew almost NOTHING about. I knew who was in it, but I didn't know anyone who had heard it. Because of my age and scarcity of people who liked this music it, buying albums was tricky. Aside from finding it and paying for it, I had to convince people to buy it for me (parental advisory label). I still have it and I still listen to it. Would love to see these guys live some time.
that was awesome. every DOWN fan should see this.
Great interviews. Love that band. Love “Nola”.
Thanks so much for this.
DOWN Rule
Thank you so, so much for making this video! I love DOWN!
You’re welcome! Me too!
I love that debut album from Down so much, but my favorite album is probably DOWN II. A Bustle in Your Hedgerow. Anyone else?
Love both albums
Great compilation of interviews Christina. I needed this, hopefully we see Down after being locked down for months. #Lifer
This is the best since recently watching the old footage of a young Pantera making THE mark in history. (I hope you appreciate the period.)
The only band whose album cover is tattooed on my flesh. No more sadness, no more pain!
(Music plays)
@@marcus2239 Hahahaha totally!! That riff, instantly!
@@TheVoidwithChristina was gonna try to type riff in how it goes but chose that those bends tho love em bend them strings like you mean it
NOLA is one of my favorite albums.
One of the best albums ever made.
Fantastic album! Every song takes me on a different journey and has had a huge impact on me\m/
Very well done!
Big fan of Down🤘🏼
Don't forget Jimmy"Power" Bower
Met him before a show in Montreal at a pizza place! Told him I was a huge fan for a long time. He told me to sit down and have a slice with him! And Joey Gonzalez. Made my year! \m/
Tifreak ! Yep good people man.
If you know New Orleans his drumming is straight New Orleans 🤘🏼
Allways loved this album, great vid
Me too, goddamn flawless!
No question one of The Greatest Albums Of The Rock era. Hands down, not even up for discussion.
Yes! Oh man I can’t believe how many people feel the same about it. So eternal yet so original.
It was so awesome seeing them in New Orleans in August
Bury Me in Smoke!!!! This made my day so much better. Three of my favorite musicians from three of my favorite bands, what could be better than that.
Awesome job! Thanks for your upload frequency during this time. I was just listening to cemetery gates when this popped up on my feed.
Working on daily .... thank you!
Love this! Great content
Underrated album!
Thank You, Christina!!! This is an AWESOME Compilation... Great Interviews and Live Footage. Love You, Sweetie. Big HUGS ❤️🤘🤓🙏❤️
NOLA is a fucking MASTERPIECE!! i still jam it on the regular on my playlist.
I Love The album, The band, The NOLA scene. Thanks..
One of my all time favourites ... so stoked in these comments to see I'm not alone in acknowledging its significance.
The Void with Christina ; I still, to this day, remember The first time I heard and saw Down. It was some footage from a gig they did in Houston 95. Just jawdropping, and made an huge impression on me.
I bought this when it first got on the shelves with the rest of the cds when there used to be stores in every strip mall, i still listen to it, it still kicks ass...
This album changed the way I play and look at music. Kirk and Pepper are 2 of my biggest influences. Love the entire NOLA scene.🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ditto
Nola was downs best album! Had it since 95’
Great video as always.
One of the best album ever made!
Thank you Christina
Man, this made my whole week. I was so amazed to discover Down back in the day, and it’s so dope to see the dudes in form!
So glad you enjoyed it man! The idea of pulling all this stuff together has been haunting me for months, haha. Couldn't be more stoked other fans are digging it.
wow tx for that
DOWN NOLA is a great album. It starts out jamming and ends on an awesome heavy riff. Phils vocals were incredible on it.
Fantastic.
NOLA is in my Top 10 albums of all time. It's that good. 🤘
Eyes of the South, man...what a song
Very cool thanks for sharing...🤘🤘🎸🎸 life long metal fan amateur riffer...
Great interview! Great job, Christina! This album and band mean so much to me. This album and band are such a huge part of my life! Hails, Down!
Thank you! Goddamn I hope they make more music!
The Void with Christina I agree!!! And not an EP, unless it’s an acoustic/mellow vibe Down EP, then that’s ok. I want a focused, full length LP throwback to NOLA!
This was great, thank you. I'm subscribing 🤘🏻🤘🏻
