COC & DOWN's Pepper J. Keenan talks to Eric Blair 2005

[@downvan77]

Big time dude! Ever since Deliverance I've been a loyal fan! Blind's a badass album too! His first album with them. His vocals (and guitar) took COC to a new level! Can't wait to see Down again in february.

[@alexbrewer5799]

DOWN & COC are both top notch bands. Seen em both. Don't miss the chance if you get it.

[@363Magi]

I'm ashamed It took me so many years to finally find CoC's music. There fucking geniuses.

[@janusego1]

Lots of class from this guy

[@redshaftedflicker]

Down is the best "supergroup" to ever exist. Vitus, Trouble, Sabbath--that's what I'm talking about. Pentagram and The Obsessed as well.

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

Just got onto pepper in the last couple weeks. Solid solid guy. Very matter of fact kinda dude. Can't wait to get deeper into coc and down

[@drSwan77]

I agree. Pepper is clearly more inspired by guys like Tony Iommi. He´s more about heart than brain. Dime and Pepper has very different styles. I like them both.

[@Drop_Of--Flame]

iv met them all..pepper is really cool an talked to me 4 a while..an he is a freking brill acset to the band..he kicks arse!

[@firebird116]

He seems like a super cool guy. love coc, love down!

[@Monaro400]

Totally agreed, Pepper is the Man!

[@FreddoX1]

I like blair, he asks good and intelligent questions that us fans like. Not stupid klisché questions like: "What's you favourite movie?" And seems to know a whole deal about music in general.

[@CloneVegeta]

Being a fan of a band and being inspired of them is two different things

[@jimmyjambhere]

i remember the old tape trading days.

[@ericcook4665]

that's so awsome

[@satomlinson]

The man !

[@gim5555]

coc is damn good band because of pepper. His vocals is dope and playing guitar well

[@captainpantaloons]

Pep is the man!

[@jhw1968]

@steveoz49 I agree!!!! One of THE BEST I have ever heard!!! I have followed these guys for years!!

[@thefnaffan2]

Met Pepper at bar I stopped in. I'll be damned if he wasn't the owner... Lol

[@edwardonhere]

Very clever musician

[@Brownsweiger]

yeah he's got a lot of class in him

[@Baldmelon]

Peppers the best kept secret? C'mon. Unless they're really young, or really dopey, people who dig for their metal, know the guy.

[@CloneVegeta]

He said that he himself wasen't inspired by Dime's playing but more of him as a person.

[@baxill23]

badass... Pepper's a cool cat.

[@RevJim1313]

Pepper is a bad ass

[@nelaHnaVeiddE]

Cool dude

[@blown572hemi]

damn I thought he was from Greensboro because I saw them there as a punk band and they said they where home

[@centre-i1h]

someone needs to upload the coc shows from 2005 like the 6:27 min

[@SDJrekoff]

maybe later/soon, but in the beginning i'm not quite sure...

[@MilitantOldLady]

where did they play in Warsaw?? Warsaw dosent have big venues

[@chrisb75]

Man you could put pepper in 1970 in this setting and he'd fit right in...lol

[@PanterACFH101]

does anyone have a clue where i can get that 3song Down demo? ive looked everywhere and i cant find it

[@tonymctony4551]

Pepper is dressed like a decent respectable southerner.

[@metal66674]

WWPD?

[@ArseLoad0fMetal666]

Corrosion of Conformity formed in 82' bro haha

[@Athruebelief]

“Politics is the control of wealth and power. You are being conditioned to condemn politics as petty and boring, thus granting all the more control to the powers that be.” -Corrosion of Conformity

[@acerb4566]

Keenan's vocals kick ass! .....who knows him in person?..send him this>>"Liam Clancy and Luke Kelly - The Rocky Road To Dublin"

[@tonzobeaststreetwear]

his beard is bad, that's all... but he's a goddamn big time rocking bastard! hell yeah!

[@SDJrekoff]

I have learned to play almost all of Dime's work, and i say you're wrong.

[@TheJost7]

@DuxJerome he did

[@AfroMan5900]

Please don't start talking about differences between Down and Pantera or CoC.....They are all awesome.

[@DuxJerome]

Didnt he audition as a bass player for Metallica?

[@ArticLight14]

Duco Romme from what I heard he had the gig only if he agreed to quit his other bands.

[@KillswitchEdge]

Pepper Keenan is god!

[@AskDropDeadIreland]

All COC has been great I've been into them from the beginning, but Deliverance should have been the start of a musical revolution. Un -fucking- real! Sounds like Black Sabbath and Lynyrd Skynyrd's semen got mixed up in the same whore and she had this band live on stage! Under-rated doesn't even come close! BOW FUCKING DOWN POSEURS AND BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT WITH ALL THE GARBAGE GAG ON THE RADIO TALKING ABOUT HARDCORE THIS AND THAT!! This is real music; Listen and learn.

[@dyr234]

señor limpio is a tight groove on deliverance.

[@ArseLoad0fMetal666]

dude Corrosion Of Comformity were going strong well before Pantera were big

[@CloneVegeta]

Why?

[@blisteringfilth]

i wanna get stoned with the down and coc

[@hermanmelville3871]

“Fallowing?”

[@CloneVegeta]

Have you ever heard CoC? Cause the guitars aren't even close to sound like inspired by him

[@downvan77]

I love this fuckin'guy man!

[@linda-brookethompson5345]

He sounds kind of weird in this video like his tongue is numb or smthng

[@mikejohnny27]

tanks in Warsaw? what the hell is he talkin about, the early 80s???

[@RedMotorDog]

Old..? fuck that shit!

[@CloneVegeta]

Cool :) But that doesn't change that his guitar playing is not anything like Dime's

[@woodoo003]

@ibr0kethedam get high *

[@MilitantOldLady]

hell yea! (not the band) :D Pepper is the coolest!

[@jackmylantern]

Not really, he's just old!

[@TexasSwamp]

He looks hungover

[@CloneVegeta]

It still have never been an inspiration to Pepper, just like Dime's playing wasen't an inspiration to guys like Steve Vai or Andy Laroqcue

[@Norg1]

i rather not see another COC record i dont see how they can top there last one they would have 2 change there music style i would rather see pep do a solo record with a bunch of guest artist like Mastodon Metallica High on fire etc etc etc
