So cool to see Bryan Garris interview Shawn Crahan

[@allusernamestakenlol]

💀💀💀💀

[@SilkandScrooge]

I wanted to hear Brian talk alot more. Wasn't expecting clown to go full Forrest Gump and tell his life story.

[@RudolfHorvath]

What else did you expect? It is the fucking Clown we are talking about here. The dude usually goes on weird tantrums as an answer to a simple question. Not that I complain, he is a interesting brain to pick.

[@SilkandScrooge]

@@Shadow-gm9ct no. does it say "telling Brian Harris my life story"?

[@SilkandScrooge]

@@RudolfHorvath true. He's interesting for creating slipknot's image. I think Lars Ulrich did this thing better on his beats show. He at least questioned the people he talked to and wasn't just waiting for you to stop talking so he could talk about himself. He seemed interested in the other person. Clown hasn't even listen to knocked loose.

[@avetnego]

Also I think that wasnt the original name of the video... but he was unprepared and audio is shit

[@RudolfHorvath]

@@SilkandScrooge I understand your point and agree to a certain extent. Clown has always been like this and for a long time I thought he was either trolling or just a lunatic. However these podcasts and long interviews allow him to explain his view and I believe there is some method to the madness. When it comes to Clown you have to expect the unexpected or the exact opposite of the expected.

[@kurthaywood9672]

huge interview between shawn and shawn

[@inspektorgadget1129]

he is a narcisst.. ask someone a question and then just answer his own questions xD wtf

[@rodflounder]

Im sure the straight edge kid enjoyed the whisky talk.

[@johnframpton5687]

str8 edge kid hears whisky talk every day.

[@flawlesslazyyy5099]

I’m not straight edge I just wanna be sober!

[@DrMurdercock]

He's a grown man in a touring band...He isn't made of wet paper

[@GodOfWhine]

It really warms my heart seeing Bryan get to this point. I remember seeing them in the early days at a local show. Drove 4+ hours to play for maybe 10 people. Saying he earned his stripes is an understatement.

[@The_KlaVra]

So Cool to see the Past meet the Present and share their sides of the coin.. So cool to see..

[@papahims]

this is like a grandchild getting a life talk and story time from your favorite Grandparent

[@davidgilmovitch1785]

This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. A raw conversation.

[@Skinard14]

I hate encountering people like clown irl it’s so exhausting

[@nebzila]

Huge respect for Bryan's patience

[@my_artflare]

Hell yeah I love the in person podcast Shawn! This is so cool and I enjoy every episode 🙌🤘

[@fettfan91]

It's cool seeing veteran band members chill with the young guns.

[@CZitoMusic]

Great conversation. Two of my favourite bands🤘🏻🙌🏻

[@geddyleesowlnose]

Great one way covo lol

[@corychaus]

Love to see it.

[@Ian-tc6xe]

damn didn’t know bryan was the one interviewing clown.

[@dadedraak]

Wowww crossover I needed!!

[@autistic420potter5]

Wait a minute, slipknot did a 10 year anniversary on the self titled album...

[@erictervo3116]

You didn’t know this?

[@bobbyjohnson1297]

Excellent podcast

[@ericneedham6032]

2 of some of the best

[@onlydarkwillremain]

When he asked Bryan if he fished like, 3 times 😂😂😂 I wonder if he fishes. I’m thoroughly enjoying this it got better the further it went. Hyped to hear about the Carolina Reapers and other wonderful things.

[@my_artflare]

27:30 hold up, Clown is in LA recording a record probably until September 👀

[@geddyleesowlnose]

That means new slipknot next year 😎

[@jasonivea2610]

Fuck yeah, Clown. Recognizing real, respectable&badass bands/ musicians as always.

[@DrMurdercock]

More like he is aging, as is slipknot, associating with younger bands exposes your older band to y ounger fans

[@allusernamestakenlol]

Skip to any point in the video and Shawn's always the one talking

[@frank574748]

Awsome but yeah, Clown has a terrible habit of not being able to stop talking about himself and making everything about him instead of making it more of a two way conversation

[@SidewalkTrip]

Louisville represent🤟🏻

[@brgrungegazer7134]

🤘🤘 knocked loose

[@kricetispies732]

I'm disappointed w this, Garris is an intelligent, genuine guy!

[@bobwade1686]

Clown is looking great damn

[@joshguy5221]

Bryan looking like Mac demarco Cool he had a convo with Clown.

[@James-lk3wr]

Rest in Power JJ!

[@dEAthlikEstAtic]

&paul, & shawn's daughter.

[@James-lk3wr]

@@dEAthlikEstAtic yes RIP to them all!

[@jasoncrump1886]

I'm from Paris and use to live in Oldham County years ago. Pretty cool to see some kentucky boys throwing down. I'm also a badass guitarist but no band . Hard to find people that do what I do and I work 9 to 6 everyday. Lol

[@LILDIRTNAPX]

Drinking game: skip through the video and drink a handle of vodka every time Bryan is talking. i'm fine

[@louiehannigan7835]

For someone that beats the shit out of kegs, Clown is a wise cool dude and favourite member of Slipknot 🤟

[@lolbotx]

Bryan's part of the background

[@TheCivildecay]

This is the founder of Slipknot (clown)?

[@mattclay7488]

Please, please, please mic up your guests properly. I can barely hear Bryan

[@Sentinelsucks]

turn your volume up

[@inspektorgadget1129]

shawn: asks a question...? bryan: answers.... shawn: anwsers his own question..... me: huh wait what ?!

[@jasonivea2610]

Omg. My favorite bands creator is passing the torch to my second favorite bands front man? Fuck ya mean.

[@xnathanhx412]

I didn’t know he was 27 WTF

[@TheCivildecay]

He looks 19 :D

[@patrickhuntoon534]

after seeing knocked loose in Iowa I described it as Slayer Meets Ac/dc to me that’s what his Vocals Sound like a Bit

[@xyrk12]

But the Pit is Harder then every Metal concert you can go

[@DystopianApocalypse]

Lol clowns ego is ridiculous, let the kid talk dude. Hella self absorbed...

[@dEAthlikEstAtic]

i heard bryan say plenty & maybe that "kid" didn't have as much of a problem with hearing shawn talk. some1 talking a lot doesn't show the size of their ego, some ppl have more to say than others.

[@xyrk12]

Bryan is a bit Introvert and dont like to speak that much i watch plenty of Interviews and he answered the Question in a simple short way less words Sometimes enough.🤷🏼

[@mr.peepers2304]

So nice to see the guy that dresses as a clown and bangs on beer kegs taking about how great he is to some nobody kid ( insert sarcasm). In all honesty, Brian seems like a really cool guy and very respectful of Shaun, but seriously, learn to interview instead of just telling about yourself.

[@geddyleesowlnose]

No iowa repress?? Rats!!

[@geddyleesowlnose]

@@Shadow-gm9ct he said "20 years of iowa, who cares"

[@geddyleesowlnose]

@@Shadow-gm9ct it strongly suggests it, There wasn't a 20th anniversary pressing of the Self Titled Record.

[@user-eo5cf5lh7l]

No one gives a shit

[@user-eo5cf5lh7l]

Cool vid, shit audio

[@watermelonthelittleone2182]

Shit clowns getting old..

[@broken_drum_stick1233]

clown needs to stop talking

[@walodios1109]

for real tho

[@dEAthlikEstAtic]

do you fucking know what a podcast is??

[@CERBERUS1O8]

Brian's cool, but sorry don't like the other guy, typical BSer thinks and talks like he knows everything but actually knows nothing type of dude

[@dEAthlikEstAtic]

he thinks & talks like he has something to say because he's experienced life, he doesn't talk like he knows everything he talks from HIS EXPERIENCE with things. you don't like it? don't listen, but don't act like YOU know what the fuck you're talking about when it comes to how some1 thinks it makes you sound more like the person you're trying to talk shit about.

[@CERBERUS1O8]

@@dEAthlikEstAtic there's definitely value to someone's life experience. But I think both of us can be somewhat on the right track at the same time here.

[@dEAthlikEstAtic]

@@CERBERUS1O8 true, never really know do ya?

[@aarush4205]

the other guy? thats clown from fucking slipknot

[@Alexandria87]

You do know thats Clown from Slipknot, right?

[@chrislittle8122]

17 mins in and they both looked bored af
