ATTILA | Chris Fronzak | Garza Podcast 101

[@xtheyan]

The story with Mitch being kind to Fronz was very heartwarming to hear 💜

[@Jmack7861]

[@CZAR_Vocals]

Love your vids homie

[@xtheyan]

@@CZAR_Vocals thanks man 🤘🏻🩷

[@johncuellar117]

right??? that's what I'm saying

[@vi.vi.vi.666]

It is heartwarming indeed, also is this a hint for an attila video? 👀👀

[@bradfoster8146]

I saw Attila back in the days where Rage was just coming out, and Fronz and the whole band for that matter were the most pleasant, fun and hilarious dudes. So happy this dude is still out there doing the damn thing

[@mattfortheguinn4037]

Just saw Attila for the 8th time a couple weeks ago, saw fronz outside the venue and he gave a full bear hug haha such a nice dude! lol

[@caseyparks3954]

Listening to Chris explain his entrepreneurial mindset as a child is absolutely fascinating to me.

[@kevbo3908]

really excited for this one. Attila is such an interesting and often misunderstood band.

[@unscathedpilot]

I kinda feel like they're like a metal Eminem in the sense that it's not quite satire but also dont take it too serious just enjoy and have a good time lol

[@jacobdelacruz9139]

I love them lmao. Fronz is a cool dude.

[@joerazz91]

Just want to throw this out there. I want Fronz to know most Attila fans and myself included still really love Fallacy and Soundtrack To A Party and would appreciate it if one day they could be relatively available again on CD. Even do vinyl it would sell very well. I LOVE OLD ATTILA! I hope Fronz knows this. Make it happen!🤘🙏

[@YaBoyJRock42069]

Soundtrack To A Party is still the best Attila album imo

[@LilComedown]

I've always wanted Soundtrack To A Party on CD Fronz if you read this, I was the very first person in Columbia SC who went to the record store day of release and asked for Rage. They didn't even have it out on the shelf, I made homie open the shipping boxes from Artery. I'm real day one. I remember showing my friend Soda In The Water Cup on a high school computer in the library. We literally went in there at lunch time, and I said "you have to hear this new band" and managed to use a proxy site to get on Myspace or whatever it was. We were fucking nerds too. I also read enough books to eat a lot of Pizza Hut Personal Pan pizza 🍕🍕😂😂

[@Droidiak]

@@YaBoyJRock42069 I agree I remember when that dropped when I was in hs. Started my day right after the morning bell listening to that album tbh.

[@amberwhite328]

they dont have the rights to those albums (yes their own music).

[@LilComedown]

@@amberwhite328 you're incorrect Chris Linck and Fronz are on STAP why wouldn't they still collect royalties? Pretty sure they wrote the songs, it's still on Apple music and Amazon mp3 etc so while they might have legal issues getting that physical pressed by whoever they're signed with, used to be metal blade I think or razor and tie Can't remember but pretty sure they're independent artists now. My guess is that some ex member still owns some rights and the boys don't think it is worth paying to get the old shit back, that was my point in saying I KNOW *I* would pay money for that

[@bamsounds]

He's got my vote! Chris Fronzak 2024!!

[@zaccampa4055]

Fuck yeah I would vote for him too

[@Neuby1130]

Fronz is one of the coolest people you can meet. Heart of gold.

[@zaccampa4055]

He really is a super nice dude

[@CorridorOfChameleons94]

When you gonna get Ol' Frankie Palmeri?

[@BLXXDLXRD777]

DAMN ONE OF THE OGS

Yo fucking for real!

[@Talking_Bout_Driguez]

Real rap

[@dekapitatorr]

never liked Attila but Fronz have high positive energy around him. even through screen. great podcast once again.

[@bobbyculdesack2309]

17:20 This makes me feel a lot better about getting arrested, falling back, and leveling up for the last 3 years. It’s weird thinking that at one point my band was playing with Fronz and the guys and now 15 yrs later, musically socially financially and physically starting over from scratch. We also played the Cleansing CD release show in Fredericksburg VA. We hung out in the van getting blazed for like 2 hrs and that day is still one of my all time favorite memories. We weren’t even on tour together and you guys treated us like brothers! RIP Mitch 🙌 Long live Suicide!! 🙌🦾🙌

[@LilComedown]

What band were you in bro Glad to hear you're out hell of a story

[@NickyHC]

Fronz is an awesome guy and he and Attita gets a lot of hate from idiots for no reason, but Fronz and Attita are awesome!

[@JaredLand]

Now I wanna drink a beer 🍺 with Chris.

[@williamthompson9625]

Now I have reasons to like Fronz, not a terrible guy at all🤘🤘🤘

[@jimmajam96]

Hearing the backstory for about that life is awesome, because i totally get those vibes from that record!

[@kumakson]

Great stuff, Fronz is a legend ❤👊

[@peacock6804]

The folks still hating on Fronzie is crazy. The dude is living his life, bring happy, not giving a shit and doing whatever he wants. No only that on this pod he seems happy as fuck and like he has a good head on his shoulders. Been listening since my brother showed me "Rage" in 2012 when i was 11. Fronz is a fuckin legend. Living in Fl it would be tight as fuck to run into Fronz or any of the Attila or many metal bands that live down here.

[@Jasonwe123]

I love attila, and how much folks truly misunderstand Fronz and attila for sure. But regardless dude has done very well for himself and no matter what folks think...

[@TimmyTurner421]

Never was a Attila fan but wasn't hating on them either. Fronz is a cool dude

[@BBYPVNKofficial]

Fronz For President 2025! 🥳⭐️🙏🏻

[@DiamondLifer]

My last US tour was a direct support for Attila after their first album. Small tour and we weren’t sure if we’d get along with them when taking the tour but after a couple days we were all in love. Years after I stepped away from touring I’d meet up with them whenever they play my area and grab drinks and dinner before or after the show. Extremely hard working guys. Happy for all their success.

[@johnsalchichon4089]

I met Fronz one time and he was the nicest person took pictures signed my shirt and was so fucking cool. I'll always remember that !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@t0talimm0rtalz]

About That Life fuckin rules lol. I saw that tour. Then saw Attila YEARS later in Prague (2023 I think), shit was insane.

[@_gLiTcHgAnG_Glizzy_036]

Hell yeah great podcast /// we shall forever believe in ATTILA !!!! 10/10

[@robowop9354]

This is one of my top podcasts. Can't get this kind of insight on any other channel other than maybe Jasta.

[@Erullluvitar]

Actually gonna vote for fronz though who else ✅

[@gingerjay6483]

I have no idea why this dude gets so much hate... I think he's a cool dude and very talented.

[@ericjorrey935]

No idea? I have minimal knowledge of them, (I just like Garza's podcast) but first impression is he's so self-centered and comes off like a clueless spoiled rich kid. He's kind of the poster child for entitlement, despite all the claims he makes about not being coddled. And reading books at 10??? What 10 year old doesn''t read? Talking about the Book-It program like it was some secret - every kid did that back then. He just seems really self-important...and honestly his tattoos make him look like a douche. Seems like he's more about the image than the substance. (and this is from as unbiased unexposed-to-him position as possible.

[@artybone6946]

Mitch sounded like a really cool dude. Rip!

[@rebekahcarter8120]

I used to snear at Atilla but man, I have come to have so much respect for Chris. And there actually are quite a few good Atilla songs, especially their more recent songs.

[@3749N]

“U were reading books before you were 10?” Lmao

[@gretelsgooch1676]

Great as always, Garza. But we need VCTMS or Traitorsfl on here 🙏

[@ryandlv]

Also Spite!

[@BrandonHurlesYT]

Always enjoying these episodes. I need to get you on The Game Junction Podcast to talk music!

[@Magdalena8008s]

Fronz. If you happen to read this. Just a heads up. Or possibly you know if you're actually taking it seriously and hired actual consultants. Running for president and touring at the same time is a sure fire way to end up in jail or oweing millions. Doug Stanhope found out the hard way when he was touring as a stand up comic and a libertarian run decade's ago as a goof. If you mention your campaign while on tour playing with Attila that money is campaign money, not your personal money. Of course its more complicated than that and a ton of nuance. The point is, be careful and doing this as a goof is not smart.

[@jakeraabe4536]

reading books at 10 is extremely advanced? thats kind of crazy to me by that age i was fully into reading king novels but favorite of course for my age was rl stine for sure

[@drummerTBM]

Yeah that was a little odd. Plenty of kids reading “books” at 5-6

[@teegee126]

@@jakeraabe4536 lol yeah dude acting like reading Harry potter at 10 is giving him so much knowledge. incredibly cringe. Kids learn to read at like 5 or 6

[@FernandoGarcia-xc5xy]

You should get Job For A Cowboy on

[@vicerexciser4339]

This is one of my fav episodes yet

[@Notjoshchapin]

While I don't necessarily agree with the direction Attila's music has gone, this was an amazing interview. It was nice to see Fronz open up so much about things that shaped his life. His success is highly commendable.

[@bigounce562]

Great conversation. From my teaching experience: Harry Potter books' lexile reading level ranges from about 4th/5th grade to 9th grade depending on the book.

[@Robert048]

You've blown your radiator! Lol. Loved destruction derby, man.

[@damienxavierchambers]

Love Fronz! Thanks for interviewing him!!

[@craigsimons7900]

fronz was awesome when we played sbsw super nice guy glad to see him again love from michigan buddies

[@LilComedown]

Garza I love the podcast, you've been bringing awesome guests like Whitechapel, I've learned dope stuff about old SS, and now Fronz? Hell yeah dude Sounds like me and fronz had a lot in common as kids, I would also read whole books in one day. I ate a lot of those pizzas 😂 But there's a loud hissing in your audio i think it's Garzas microphone 🎙️ EDIT: yoooo i REMEMBER that Monster outbreak tour flyer with Asking Alexandria and the blue background i remember thinking that besides MMF literally that's all my favorite bands at one show. I was so upset when it didn't happen RIP MITCH 😭

[@HARDLOOK]

Love him or hate him, he's obviously doing something right. Also, he would make a better President than Joe Biden.

[@DaidxD420]

Would love to see the acacia strain on here :D

[@xtheyan]

HELL YEAH !!! THE GOATTTTT 🐐🔥

[@Poolknot]

#Votefonz. What he said about politics is 100 percent truth.

[@bryanburlingham7694]

I still have and play Destruction Derby. Been playing that game since I was a little kid haha.

[@gabehorn52]

1:35 Apart from Suicide Silence's self titled album... I love about that life even now

[@FLmetalhead]

Florida born and raised. Keep Florida free.

[@derekbastien2181]

I’m loving the new Attila sound like bite your younger may be the best Attila song ever like up there with the best metal-core songs in the genre rn.

[@thomascoolberth2648]

Marijuana is legal in Massachusetts and its really good. Currently taking a tincture to deal with my oral cancer/jaw replacement. Helps me just feel normal .. no psychoactive effects. Residents all got $500 tax rebate because state is raking MASSIVE money.

[@JT-pb7lt]

My fav album is Outlawed. I had a signed copy of About That Life when I seen Attila for the 2nd time in 2013, but a CAT 4 hurricane took it away 😅

[@deaddanny666]

destruction derby was the shit! that's the game that got me into rock/metal

[@churroinyomouf]

This is sick!

[@kweis92]

I really enjoy this podcast.

[@tomkruze1304]

He's like metal Nick Swardson. Jumanji was a banger back in the day. I didn't have any friends when I switched schools and I just reads books for a year, totally relate.

[@jimmajam96]

Chaos is phenomenal, all hail rock and roll is so sick

[@quintupleton]

You should do peelingflesh after your guys concert!! I can’t wait to see y’all Saturday!!

[@SamIllsley3]

Yo Chris you guys killed it in London last night! can you get I AM on the poddy soon?

[@Magdalena8008s]

The Demolition Derby game ruled. Was never into video games. Especially back in the PS1 days. But that game ruled.

[@_gLiTcHgAnG_Glizzy_036]

THE CHAOS ALBUM IS 10/10

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

Tyler carter is back in the scene? Is he done diddling kids?

[@caseymiller2984]

The Mitch section felt so good.love it

[@jayrific]

Did Nick Swardson replace this guy at some point. The similarity is crazy.

[@Rob_Cary]

I still have the same PS2 I had growing up and it still works perfectly haha I don't think I ever played Tiger Woods tho.

[@philfoe551]

Fallacy and Soundtrack to A Party are underground classics. Then they kept taking it to the next level with high quality shit.

[@AlexPerez-ig8yd]

Shots for the boys! 🎉

[@shadyolaf9465]

forgot i had call of duty on in the background, made the regrets segment real intense lol

[@drummerTBM]

Just saw Attila in Atlanta for about that life tour!!

[@TrialoftheMonkeys]

I would necessarily call myself an Attila fan but Outlawed is in my top 10.

[@vintsteele6775]

The books reading system was called Book-it from pizza hut. Reading a book to get stars on a pin and get a free pizza

[@xile_hc]

A lot to learn from that mindset!

[@marcellgoodwin508]

I met the band in 2014 after I won a free meet and greet in Sacramento. Some of the nicest group of people I've ever met in a band (or ever!). All smiles and just being themselves. Saw them again at Aftershock. I really Wanted to see Limp Bizkit's full set but it's like "fuck man Attila is here you know it's going to be crazy" so we dipped 20 min into Limps set so we could get a good spot for Atilla. No regrets.

[@Nielint]

Just a clarification on the COVID comments; Florida has the 3rd highest COVID cases and 3rd highest COVID deaths. But they are 8th in the nation per capita.

[@Razrback]

That's killer fronz Danny Wimmer is who made LIMP BIZKIT straight up congrats I'm in Jacksonville saw Attila here kick ass show SS was there to

[@spookythrillz1486]

My first concert was all stars back in 2012 and I remember it being in November I was excited to see suicide silence but they weren't able to come on my date cause of the passing of mitch it was really sad hearing the news 😢

[@TokenTaco]

That's interesting, the whole reading thing before the age of 10. Is it usual in the US for kids not to be into reading by then? I mean, I vividly recall my grandma basically making me read at 4 or 5, and it was like a solid 2 hours every single day.

[@stuartwall8]

Sorry if someones already mentioned but destruction derby for ps1 has a great soundtrack fear factory is in there, only reason i bought the game lol

Deck of cards was recommend by Joey Sturgis? I remember what band did that first they were called "Arbiter" "The arbiter method" of writing breakdowns. That's sick Joey was still doing that in 2013. I have done it 😅

Loved Arbiter, never heard this about them before. Very cool.

[@andrewh5104]

It's funny hearing him mention my shitty little town in indiana. Joey sturgis was the only thing we had hahaha.

[@RebeIMate]

1:01:33 👈 Now, this is interesting! This should've been the start of this podcast not the end. I watched the whole thing and it is not bad at all. It is just a little bit superficial and to be honest... boring. I mean (most of us) we all know this stuff already. You can see that Fronz was prepared for everything, but instead the standard interview questions.

[@Thevitamindealer]

Fuck 👏🏽 yes 👏🏽
