@@gillaliglaou2840 Oh yeah, I used to come across it a lot in my interviewing days - especially nu-metal bands who wanted to show they had "sophisticated" tastes. That said, it was cool how much Type O Negative used to talk about loving The Beatles.
@@Moongazing777 I've definitely seen some of that. I don't get it. You play metal, yet you don't listen to it? Right. You shouldn't feel ashamed to enjoy ANY kind of music and to openly celebrate it.
They don't pick who comes on their show, if they see a famous band or artists in their shop, they'll asked them to film. They don't ring people up and ask them to come in.
Cameron im like, 90% certain this is mostly a promotional method for artists. Meaning its the artists that reach out, and amoeba that already has availability to help the promotion via this show. Most of these artists just released something new when they come on.
@@matt.pma.kresnaputra5458 the reason that artists have just released something when they come on is cos most artists follow up their album releases with tours, but yes, sometimes they may reach out to artists, but usually they'll reach our to mainstream artists, not smallish metal bands like this.
I Love when musicians show Love to other genres. For example when someone in a death metal band wears a thin lizzy t-shirt. Or when a jazz musician wears a morbid angel t-shirt
“Ditch school and do acid… that’s why I am the way I am.” And God bless you because you ditched school and did Acid, Mr. Pike, otherwise we wouldn’t have any of your great music.
@@paulpz04 So is Hawkwind, Altin Gün, Celtic Frost,... I'm not even half way through yet and I know these two guys have great taste in music. It's awesome to see musicians who REALLY appreciate music. The fact that it's Pike and Matz just adds to the awesomeness of it.
@@wymcoupe9335 .I've never listened to the last 2 u mentioned I'll check em out..have you heard All Them Witches outta Nashville (I think)..not necessarily the same genre but I think you'll like..Charles Williams, When God Comes Back, The Death of Coyote Woman, Passageways, etc.. all good ones by them
Brought back fond memories of going to see the Grindcrusher tour thirty or so years ago, Morbid Angel, Napalm Death, Carcass and Bolt Thrower all on the same bill.
@sikk fukken kunt It was but they did a brief US package tour. They played at the country club in Reseda. It was bad ass, Bolt Thrower, Napalm D, etc. My buddy worked for Geffen at time and we got passes in.
Great picks. Glad to see Pike looking so well. First time I recall seeing Celtic Frost and Bolt Thrower mentioned on What's In My Bag? Gotta check out some of Jeff's more obscure finds.
Not the biggest HOF fan but boy do they have good taste, especially Matz. That Pandemonium and Bolzer pick was so cool but then Pike drops Oranssi Pazuzu, Necrot and fucking Watershed! Awesome dudes, glad you featured them!
Love Matt Pike, and have to say he looks great here. Listened to the first couple HoF albums, saw them a million times but haven't heard the recent albums. Gonna get back into this band now that I've seen this video, thanks Amoeba.
In my bag would be Electric Messiah by High on Fire. Never heard of you guys, picked it up for the art work, and it’s now one of my favourite metal records. Brilliant from start to finish. Love it.
The true Skid Row, yes Gary was in the band from 1968-1971. Love Wayne Shorter's material specially on the Weather Report albums "Mysterious Traveller", "Black Market", and "Heavy Weather".
I love HOF and now I know we have pretty much the same taste in music… down to the Selda, Altin Günn, Bolt Thrower, Oranssi Pazuzu, Miles Davis, Celtic Frost and Bolt Thrower’s crazy crossover 😂
@@miguelmagalhaes4795 my opinion is purely based on interviews I've read/viewed with metal musicians. Most of them seem to refer to completely other genres when they talk about their influences or the music they listen to on a usual day. of course they could just be bluffing but I think most of them stopped at the old school metal bands they grew up with when it comes to metal listening, without tracing the newer bands in the scene, and take inspiration from completely different genres.
Makes sense mate...i was just joking...they re music freaks like I am...lol....they go for everything...yes... they ve probably listen to loads of metal in their early years and then just listen to all sorts of genras... It's clear that metal people have good and eclectic music taste...
Well Matt Pike on a Bike, I'd say hell yes, right next to the partial sheet of blotter acid ("Let's goto...ha... Amoeba...Muha..ha..buy some...blaah ha RECORDS...HA HA HAAAA!!") & 3 foot tall/8 man hookah
Matt and Jeff have some eclectic taste. I knew Matt was always into crazy psychadelic shit and you can hear it in his riffs, but I never knew Jeff was into middle eastern shit, too. That's rad.
Holy crap, Matt Pike looks great after giving up the booze!
Ha! My 1st. impression was this is an old video, then I saw the date and thought..or maybe he just quit booze.
@@Morbidous he had to. Had his toe amputated last year due to his diabetes. Quit the booze fully and is leading a much healthier lifestyle. Still partakes in the usage of Marijuana which there nothing wrong with that
I was about to write the same!
yesss!!!
Kind of a babe
How nice to come across an established metal band that isn't embarrassed about still listening to metal!
Are there bands who make metal and are ashamed of listening to it?
@@gillaliglaou2840 Oh yeah, I used to come across it a lot in my interviewing days - especially nu-metal bands who wanted to show they had "sophisticated" tastes. That said, it was cool how much Type O Negative used to talk about loving The Beatles.
@@charlescampbell-jones6317 that's just embarassing.
I really hate it when metal bands try to prove how un-metal they are in interviews and such. It’s really fucking annoying and pretentious!
@@Moongazing777 I've definitely seen some of that. I don't get it. You play metal, yet you don't listen to it? Right. You shouldn't feel ashamed to enjoy ANY kind of music and to openly celebrate it.
Damn, Matt's looking healthy: Good shit, man!
Metal dudes: the more brutal their music, the nicer they are in person :)
Yes this is correct
Except mayhem
@@nordicsilver9675 wrong: Attila, Necrobutcher, Hellhammer and Teloch are pretty chill dudes in person
Leave the rage on the stage
except black metal
Do Electric Wizard next

Also btw ive watched electric wizard live, they’re quite hard to listen to. Not tight at all. But then church of misery came next... and well... ya

I'm actually really happy to see that Pike is into Bolt Thrower. Best band to ever exist. Hail Bolt Thrower.
Yes, mate!! Saw them at Damnation Fest in Leeds a few years ago; they were fucking monumental.
Anytime someone says they love Metal, but don't know who Bolt Thrower is I immediately don't trust them.
everybody loves bolt thrower
punks, metal heads, hardcore kids, grindcore weirdos, etc
Matt rocking Opeth and Bolt Thrower. Just another reason why he's in my top 3 guitar players of all time.
Love Matt so much. What an absolute legend of a lad.
wow matt... no belly, healthy looking, really great. one of the best musicians alive, so glad to see he's doing great.
Matt and Jeff are some of metal's finest. Long live High On Fire!
Matt is looking great!
I Love when musicians show Love to other genres. For example when someone in a death metal band wears a thin lizzy t-shirt. Or when a jazz musician wears a morbid angel t-shirt
Yes, great musicians never listen to 1 genre exclusively
They covered my favorite song ever , "Vagabond of the western world" by Thin Lizzy 😉
like when John Zorn plays a jazz gig with a cannibal corpse t-shirt, its cool to see the love go far
Thin Lizzy is the GOAT
Loved that Oranssi Pazuzu pronunciation
Bolzer & Oranzi Pazuzu. Wow. What brilliant picks.
I'd love one episode with uncle acid & the deadbeats
“Ditch school and do acid… that’s why I am the way I am.”
And God bless you because you ditched school and did Acid, Mr. Pike, otherwise we wouldn’t have any of your great music.
Matt is a "true" metalhead, much respect
Can't be a bad episode if people pick Converge and Bolt Thrower
And if its Matt Pike who picked it!
No shit, Bolt Thrower is horribly underrated
@@paulpz04 So is Hawkwind,

Tell me about it....

me too. country club in reseda ca

Been waiting to see Matt on here for ages, so cool you guys finally got him.
Is that Soundgarden's Superunknown album I can spot at 4:57
Sure is.
Mos Def
yup spotted that too..
are you saying that soundgarden is his guilty pleasure?
Whenever HOF puts a record out it’s always my favorite album that year.
Great picks. Glad to see Pike looking so well. First time I recall seeing Celtic Frost and Bolt Thrower mentioned on What's In My Bag? Gotta check out some of Jeff's more obscure finds.
a tour with high on fire and oranssi pazuzu sounds perfect. do it. do iiiiiit
Seriously
I've never tried to smuggle a bong into a show before, but...
They played together at psycho
Matt Pike is a fkn legend. One of my absolute favorite artists. He's like the Dimebag of Doom.
Don't know why I'm always close to drop a tear when someone picks up a Miles Davis record, especially from that era. Thanks!
Not the biggest HOF fan but boy do they have good taste, especially Matz. That Pandemonium and Bolzer pick was so cool but then Pike drops Oranssi Pazuzu, Necrot and fucking Watershed! Awesome dudes, glad you featured them!
I love how most musicians are music nerds. A field of interest that promotes passion for sure.
I am still forever grateful to Jeff Matz for introducing me to Altin Gün
Matt Pike has a killer selection as expected. Got almost all the records in my collection btw. and always great to see Gary Moore is included.
You have to agree Blessed Black Wings is the best
Love Matt and Jeff! Thanks for this!
Get Scott 'Wino' Weinrich on here. It's been long overdue.
killer picks, right out the gate with altin gun too. love high on fire
Love how they both pick Wolfbrigade and Jeff, thanks for setting me on to Altin Gün!
Nice to see some love for the original Irish Skid Row!
Good ole brush .
Love Matt Pike, and have to say he looks great here. Listened to the first couple HoF albums, saw them a million times but haven't heard the recent albums. Gonna get back into this band now that I've seen this video, thanks Amoeba.
This is my new fav What's In My Bag.
Matt is my all time favourite musician!❤
Ditching school and dropping acid to Exodus, i love you Matt.
Was looking forward to him talking about Soundgarden since he had the superunknown cd
HAWKWIND, nice. Some good stuff there.
Matt buying a opeth CD made my day
F*** YES. Of course they took this seriously and brought the eclectic fire.
ya its keltic not seltic in case you were wondering and thats from tom g himself
In the 80s, Tom pronounced it as Seltic.
Third time hearing Selda in the What's in my bag series!! Awesome!!
Celtic Frost’s cover of Mexican Radio 📻 places high on my Top 5 list of best covers ever. 🦎
Damn girl you kickass!
In my bag would be Electric Messiah by High on Fire. Never heard of you guys, picked it up for the art work, and it’s now one of my favourite metal records. Brilliant from start to finish. Love it.
Matt Pike is the amalgamation of every metalhead dude that works at guitar center
Why is he wearing a shirt?! What is this...
We seem to have fallen into an alternate reality where Matt doesn't have exposed nipples.
@@jonathanedwards9254 The shirt was a Mandela effect
Expected this comments
He's shirtless under the shirt
This impostor really thinks he can fool us all with his shirted antics.
Thank you Amoeba! This RULES!
Well this was fun!!! I had that Bolthtrower on cassette. My and my buddy would get high and walk around Golden Gate and share the Walkman to that one.
"NIGHT OF THE WARM WITCH"
IS MY FAVORITE SKID ROW SONG ALSO !!
THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME
2:08 absolutely love the way Matt said "of course I got it!!"
anyone else notice soundgarden's superunknown in matt's bag.
Amazing album! Closer to doom than grunge!
@@theeverchosen1504 lol....not even close. The title track is pop ffs.
@@boofert.washington2499 Limo Wreck? 4th July? Head down? Whole album is very stoner
@@boofert.washington2499 Mailman, half, Like Suicide?
Anyone that Worship Soundgarden is doing it right in my book. One of the best bands ever! RIP Soundgarden \m/
Altin Gün was such a great recommendation. Thanks, Jeff!
And he picked Watershed :D My fav album of theirs.
‘Just became a fan a few months ago. Awesome dudes!
Alex Borrego never too late!
For some reason it made me so happy that Matt said he’s boys with converge
The true Skid Row, yes Gary was in the band from 1968-1971.
Love Wayne Shorter's material specially on the Weather Report albums "Mysterious Traveller", "Black Market", and "Heavy Weather".
Skid rows first album is the bee's knees 🔥
"Night of the Warm Witch" is my fucking jam !!!!!
I was so stoked to see this in my recommendations, I clicked on it faster than Matt plays the guitar!
Wow! Matt is lookin fit and awake. Very happy to see that. Also, Matz is just plain cool.
I'm new to Amoeba serious, but it's one of my favorite places to find new music. I wish there was one in Atlanta. Alas, we are not worthy!
Oh heck yea Oranssi Pazuzu! First time I saw someone picking up our country's gems on this series. Cheers from Finland Matt and keep on rocking!
killer selections! One of my most fave episodes and it was posted on my birthday hehe
So awesome they picked Bölzer. This might be the best picks in the whole 'what's in my bag' series i ever saw.
Just wanted to echo the sentiment of happiness for Matt. Knew I was gunna enjoy this, but for even more reason now.
Great choices, matt seems so humble
Really nice to finally see here people whose music is near and dear to my heart. Definitely going to check out picks I'm unfamiliar with
I noticed Soundgarden on the floor but it wasn’t talked about....hmmmm?
grittyshaker they wanted to appear cool and only talk about lesser known shit
@@Bogeyman19DidNotScareMyAss Yup, What you didn't see was that Frampton Comes Alive and Thriller were underneath Soundgarden.
@@Bogeyman19DidNotScareMyAss Yeah that real underground shit like Miles Davis
I've been a bolt thrower fan for years and I'm only now discovering that they're based on a board game. I gotta check this out.
I love HOF and now I know we have pretty much the same taste in music… down to the Selda, Altin Günn, Bolt Thrower, Oranssi Pazuzu, Miles Davis, Celtic Frost and Bolt Thrower’s crazy crossover 😂
Awesome! Now there's another Skid Row for me to check out! I never knew there was another Skid Row band prior to the 80's glam band.
Great taste is reflected in their own incredible music!
I like how they don’t even know what Warhammer is but are super into Bolthrower.
“It’s some roleplaying game.”
i've heard sleep plays D&D so maybe that was a camera save ;)
HoF at Amoeba is one of the best shows on youtube!
I saw them back in November. Caught Jeff’s pick. My ears are still ringing.
Matt, you look amazing! So glad you reversed whatever you were doing and will be able to give us more years of kicking ass
ye.. i agree Hawkwind have some driving amazing music.. i had a couple of their LP's back in the day! good pic..
Love how "heavy music" fellas have always the best and most eclectic taste...
I don't even think metal musicians listen to that much metal anyway
@@adr.marius5636 I think they do mate...the think is: i think they listen to shit loads of music all day alk night...lol..

Matt Pike loves Bolt Thrower.... I was pretty sure I could hear their influence in HoF, now I know I was right. Awesome \m/
i had the biggest smile on my face watching this video
Get Yob Here for What’s in my bag
I second this
Dont know why they didnt just pick em up when they did the green room session at amoeba
M.K.S PMA they coulda done the same 13 years ago when HOF played amoeba live. Or when OM played there the same year in 2007.
YOB is LIFE YOB is LOVE \m/
Damn - So many great sounding bands I learned about fro the episode. If Matt Pike is recommending it I know its good
Metal guys always have a diverse music taste and influences...cool
Not a single questionable choice here. Please do that tour with Oranssi Pazuzu.
Omg Pike picked Hawkwind, I somehow love him even more now
Best mixed bag I've seen to date....
"They're hard to mess with musically."
"Yeah, they're guitar demons, dude."
I also watched the video
These guys have their shit together, and then he pulls out Miles Live/evil and I go "YES"
Weed. Weed is in your bag.
Well Matt Pike on a Bike, I'd say hell yes, right next to the partial sheet of blotter acid ("Let's goto...ha... Amoeba...Muha..ha..buy some...blaah ha RECORDS...HA HA HAAAA!!") & 3 foot tall/8 man hookah

Lots of musicians love Selda. She is great
Got to love this just got tuned in gonna see em at newyears show in ptown
these guys listen to great music. I'd totally go to a show with oransi and high on
its about time that you posted this!
Technical Chaos is the best Converge description ever.
1) the double purchase of wolfbrigade! On my way to purchase . Good sell
2) Oranssi Pazuzu!!!!! Yes yes yes yes yes yes! YES!!!!
In Battle There Is No Law was the first non big 4 tape I ever got. It scared my parents so it made me happy.
Yay they're writing a new record
Deam i bearly know any band ......have too listen into it !!!!! Thanks High on Fire big love from germany
High on Fire and Oranssi Pazuzu on the same ticket. I'd definitely get off the couch for that.
