It pisses me off how devastatingly good looking this dude is....Dustin is ok too

[@MortsGarage]

Hahahaha

[@isaacescalera9643]

For me it's the thoughtful writing and impeccable taste in music. Dustin should take notes.

[@MortsGarage]

[@joefreeman67]

Mort, so hot right now

[@mysticspiralz]

Ive been a fan of Thrice and Dustin's music for most of my life Such a talented Guy This takes Morts Garage to a whole new level

[@MortsGarage]

His new solo album is sounding GREAT as well - Thanks for watching!

[@travisolson9413]

I've seen Thrice in concert. Not once, not twice, but four times.

[@MortsGarage]

Perfect comment

[@Steggy]

Bro bringing Dustin Kensrue on a video is the biggest retro collector channel flex I've ever seen

[@MortsGarage]

💪

[@RetroMoments]

Mort! This is so cool! "The Artist in the Ambulance" was my jam in my teenage years. Keep it up! Love this series!

[@MortsGarage]

So glad you dug it!

[@porchman]

what a crossover

[@MortsGarage]

I was so glad he was up to doing this

[@MANNYSARCADE]

Amazing guest appearance really enjoyed this one

[@MortsGarage]

THANKS MANNY!

[@vinylreckoning]

“Dems gators” is my favorite moment. Reminds me of swamp people on history channel. It’s a doc series literally about Stacey’s family. Don’t ask her though, she will lie.

[@MortsGarage]

Hahahaha

[@shutterzero]

came for Dustin, staying for you. i literally just photographed Thrice in Bristol, UK, for the music publication i work with and they’re literally my heroes, saw Dustin post this on his stories on instagram, discovered that this is the EXACT type of content i usually watch on youtube. you’ve got yourself a new fan, sir!

[@MortsGarage]

WOAH - Honored you'd give the channel a watch! Thank you!!

[@aaronbritton4563]

Bristol!!! 🔥

[@Matt_Conrad]

Mort you just became soooo much cooler. Not a single skip on the first 3 albums. Masterpieces

[@MortsGarage]

100% - amazing songwriters

[@davetheworld.]

Wasted no time..."can you check the deadbolt?" Excellent work

[@MortsGarage]

Was planning that joke for weeks. Felt incredibly satisfied with the outcome.

[@Johnnyboi1986]

Favorite Thrice song is “Only Us.” Such a good song. Cool guest to have on Mort. Now I’m listening to Thrice again lol.

[@MortsGarage]

Rad! Their new stuff is great, but Dustin’s new solo record is sounds great as well

[@VideInfra]

You guys had great chemistry. Dustin is a very low key dude the few times I've met him. This was one of your best.

[@MortsGarage]

Thank you so much!! I’m grateful that it worked out

[@shanebakhtavar-suber3449]

Still listening to Thrice to this day. It’s been almost 20 years since I graduated high school (ouch), but Artist In The Ambulance was on repeat for a good while for our rides to and from school. Keep it up Mort! Awesome collab!

[@MortsGarage]

Great album 🤘

[@s0lsh1n]

I've seen them 17 times can't get enough

[@shanebakhtavar-suber3449]

That’s amazing! Definitely one of my bigger regrets is not going to concerts when I was younger. I’m sure they killed it every time!

[@412_randoM]

I’ll never forget hearing The Illusion of Safety for the first time as a high school freshman in 2002. Thrice has been my favorite since.

[@MortsGarage]

You have excellent taste!

[@markuzvaldez3053]

“It’s a Tom waits reference” “Ofcourse it is” hahahahahaha so good.

@@MortsGarage I had to make the joke before watching the video so no other dads in the chat could beat me to it.

[@davidpallotti4502]

WHAT?! WHY IS DUSTIN FROM THRICE DOIN VIDEO GAME STUFF WITH YOU MORT?! Oh my gosh, I was so surprised by this I new it was him, but didn't think it could be lol😂. I love you Mort and your channel, but this, this was so special. The Vheissu album was my first from them and got me through some rough times. Thanks for this guys.

[@MortsGarage]

Thanks for your generous comment - glad you dug it!

[@CrowTRobot]

Vheissu is such a masterpiece. I was lucky enough to see the Vheissu tour right before the pandemic hit. Of Dust and Nations is so good live ❤

[@VideInfra]

The crossover I never knew I wanted. The mewithout you shirt should have informed me

[@MortsGarage]

I knew what I was doing. The 68' shirt was just a cherry on top.

[@tannerpalm2566]

Mort what? This is crazy. My teenage heart is so happy. Such a down to earth guy too. Damn.

[@MortsGarage]

It was great to spend time together :)

[@JoseLopez-yx4et]

A retro video game channel that actually plays video games and isn’t trying to sell you something on what not every 30 seconds !?? I’m in

[@MortsGarage]

Glad you’re here!

[@MXSretro]

Normally I watch your videos during the kids piano classes on Monday afternoon, but I knew I had to wait on this one so Jeff could geek over Thrice. Thrice was the vibe of so many road trips. So cool!

[@MortsGarage]

Yayyy!!! Lots of love to you both

[@brothermajid]

This is so randomly unexpected but so cool. The collab we never knew we needed. Haha so dope. Huge fans of both of y'all!!

[@MortsGarage]

Cheers 🤘

[@Mandjgames0]

What!?!?!? Thrice is one of my favorite bands !!!!

[@MortsGarage]

And with good reason - they’re fantastic songwriters

[@CrowTRobot]

Dustin just gets cooler with time. Thrice is my favorite band- they keep evolving and taking risks, I adore them. But I never considered Dustin to be a gamer- learning that he got pulled back in with Breath of the Wild and Red Dead 2 just made so much sense to me. Great video!!

[@MortsGarage]

Thank you! Dustin is as rad as it gets. Cheers 👊

[@IowaRetroGamerDad]

OMFG!!! DUDE!! Image of the Invisible, Black Honey, Artist in the Ambulance!!! Songs I use to listen to on repeat and still do to this day! Such a cool collab! This is actually blowing my mind right now. lol

[@MortsGarage]

You have excellent taste!

[@IowaRetroGamerDad]

@@MortsGarage You ever listen to Lost Prophets? Thrice, Chevelle, and Lost Prophets was always in my lumina lol

[@MortsGarage]

Don’t know them, but I’ll give them a go. Thanks for the recommendation

[@thatweekendwarrior]

I recently heard your conversation on the Pixel Podcast and thoroughly enjoyed it. My ears absolutely perked up when you mentioned Dustin’s name and Thrice. I am a huge fan and appreciator of them. Musically they are one of the most original and authentic bands out there and I’ve always admired their creative push/growth. I may be an outlier here but I feel we truly heard Thrice when they wrote Vheissu. This was far beyond what their peers were doing, and please don’t misunderstand I love a lot of the bands they played and toured with. But there is something special about Thrice. There’s always been this want to sit down and have a cup of coffee with Dustin to talk about music, family, faith, etc. I’m glad I get to see this video. Thank you and have a wonderful week.

[@MortsGarage]

Awesome!! Thrice is indeed operating at a different level than their peers as songwriters. I appreciate that there’s a genuine search for meaning grounding their music. Glad you made it over!

[@thatweekendwarrior]

@@MortsGarage You mentioned you played in bands prior to moving over to being creative here. What band's were you in? I'm also on a similar journey as you. I played in bands for a very long time and last year I started my channel and have been enjoying all the things I've been learning along the way. This is the first creative thing I have done that didn't require others for execution.

[@SoHighIFly]

Recently subscribed. No one idea who Thrice is (Im from NZ) but seems like a cool guest. Love your content Mort.

[@MortsGarage]

Thank you! Go down the Thrice rabbit hole, and check out Dustin's new album. There are sooooo many diamoinds in that catalogue of tunes.

[@QuinnNoble]

Wow! This came out of left field! I got to play with Thrice at Warped Tour Jax in '03. TBH, I like Dustin's solo stuff a lot more! Cool vid Mort!

[@MortsGarage]

CHEERS! Which band were you in at the time?

[@QuinnNoble]

@@MortsGarage This was 20 years ago. My band “Hopesick” got to jump on the Florida dates for the 2003 Warped Tour. We loved Thrice. We ran into Teppei and Riley by the busses and got to talk to them for a few minutes, but no Dustin. This was before digital music. We were on our own tour and each member had a binder full of CDs. I remember we played the album “Artist in the Ambulance” over and over.

[@Johnreviewstoys]

I love your content Mort! Always makes my day.

[@MortsGarage]

Rad! Glad you’re enjoying it ✌️

[@davecresswell6508]

Lifelong Thrice fan. What an unexpected (and awesome) intersection of interests - thanks Mort!

[@MortsGarage]

🤘🤘🤘

[@LittleStaceyCakes]

This gets one like and we get a back tattoo reveal!

[@MortsGarage]

It's more a confession than a reveal

[@aaronbritton4563]

Found this in the fan group and instantly subscribed! Would be great to see Teppei one day!

[@MortsGarage]

Thank you! Glad you’re here :)

[@user-wv5gv3dw5u]

This is crazy, I was literally just thinking there should be a videogame/interview show where they have musicians on, and Dustin would have been my #1 guest to have on it. Such a cool show man, would love to see the other Thrice guys on here!

[@MortsGarage]

Ha! It was meant to be!

[@artmadril3700]

Never thought I would see Dustin Play games. This is awsome!

[@MortsGarage]

😊

[@Dubnot]

Not the crossover we knew we needed. We might need an artist for this ambulance

[@MortsGarage]

@@taylorh4480YES. I would say Vheissu and the Alchemy Index transformed how people viewed them. Don’t get me wrong, I still fuck with their post-hc era but their growth has been incredible.

[@MetalHeadGameCollector]

So I have to ask after the hearing you say, who was not your reference? Cannibal Corpse? 😂 and at the start of some of your videos you have I believe Dead Kennedy's. Also with your guest on the vlog of course. Are you into the heavier more aggressive style music? Pretty obvious about me with my screen name. Getting to know your KZbin host or content creator or Mort. Always appreciate the the videos. 🤘🤘🤘

[@MortsGarage]

I like good music, which varies by genre :) Some personal favorites: The Chariot, 68', mewithoutYou, The Mercury Program, Sufjan Stevens, Hot Snakes, The Cinematic Orchestra, Kendrick Lamar, Big Thief, Unashamed, The Dead Weather (etc, etc). Currently listening a bunch to Silent Planet, Fizz, and Petey. Who are some of your favorites?

[@MetalHeadGameCollector]

@@MortsGarage I thought I knew of a lot of music but I only know 1 of them bands, mewithoutyou. That's awesome, I will look a few of them bands up. It's always great to find that new song or band that rules our world. Thank you.

[@MortsGarage]

@@MetalHeadGameCollector So long as you return the favor!

[@MetalHeadGameCollector]

@@MortsGarage I'm incredibly big on older Korpiklaani, they are a Folk/Polka Metal band with and a lot different influences. It's got that amazing heart and soul vibe. Another band/ album Ayreon - Human Equation. This is more of a Prog style Rock Opera. My opinion a 11 out of 10. Some others these are more like Death Metal and Brutal Death Metal, Lividity, Gorgasm, Necrotic Disgorgment, Korpse and if you want a good laugh check out Bananaslama. One other band I'm crazy about is Home Free. I would guess they are Acapella/Gospel. They are amazing. I am all over the place musically as well.
