The Heaviest Podcast of All Time

[@johnjusino3187]

As a fellow Puerto Rican, the drummer made me proud. The grind and perseverance is top notch.

[@tomseaver1496]

La Brega is real, lol

[@joeastin9149]

Josean is an absolute beast and beautiful human

[@reezy8899]

Same brotha very inspiring 🤘🏼🍻

[@travesty-studios]

First time I saw any of the actual band members was from the K Pitt session and he's wearing a cool Puerto Rican flag shirt and I was just like fuuuuck yessssss

[@alanramirez225]

Happy to see the talent being recognized!

[@mncphotography]

"John Wick is a deep movie" is the greatest quote of all time.

[@Dylan-cu4ty]

Joe Bad is one of my favorite vocalists, and Fit For An Autopsy is a gem of a band.

[@Aj_Cox]

Fucking love these dudes probably one of your best podcasts you’ve made they couldn’t be a better representation of metal heads than Garza himself! Stay brutal my dudes

[@GMSlash]

I like how Garza barely had to ask any questions 😄

[@WiredAnxiety]

Gotta be honest here, I'm not really into FFAA but I still sat and watched the full thing. I've come to the conclusion that there's no denying that each of these guys are sincere, hard working, passionate, and genuine. And for that, I'll forever have respect for these guys! What an phenomenal episode. Garza is the best!

[@jacksontcrazy9287]

This band is everything. The lyrics are written perfectly. Grateful for their music. Thanks for thr podcast.

[@TXScout87]

This makes me love this band even more! Great perspectives and motivation!

[@Muffinpurplegurk]

The only band where i love 100% of everything they've ever put out. Absolutely adore this band.

[@karimashrafmounir5813]

great bands, incredible humans. proud to be a fan of them & SS...All the love from Cairo, Egypt

[@hildaarlistiyani7834]

You guys listen to deathmetal in egypt?

[@KardashevBand]

Great discussions were had here. I like how respectful everyone was of each speaker. :)

[@rocioiribe5841]

FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY!!!!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

[@AndrewJShirley]

Never clicked a video so quickly in my life.

[@AndrewJShirley]

This is one of the joyous and fun pods I've watched in ages. Absolutely heartfelt, awesome and just fucking cool. This is why I go to every Fit show in London, this is whyI buy multiple shirts everytime even though I don't have the space for them. I adore this band and them as people. Can we also acknowledge Blue for being utterly hilarious too?

[@jenyoung831]

These dudes are so nice. They all stayed on stage to talk to their fans after their last Brooklyn show

[@yourlowestpoint]

Black Mammoth moves me to tears. It is one of the most powerful metal songs of all time. I saw FFAA in Manchester with Whitchapel and Thy Art and they are incredible live. Great band, good dudes.

[@WoWMinGM]

Listening to Pat is very captivating. The last question was great.

[@joetipton253]

i was only recently introduced to ffaa when they played with in flames back in september and i was super impressed by their sound and stage presence. killer band and they seem like a bunch of really cool dudes.

[@omarcornielle2399]

Watching this from the Dominican Republic! just proud about Josean and what he has accomplished as a fellow Latino and the band as a whole. Hope we could get to see bands like FIT or SS, Lamb Of God and such here in my country 😪but there's no market for heavy music at all, meaning we have to travel abroad to see our dream bands. Great podcast overall, keep the good work Garza!.

[@clayhutcheson439]

I lisson to work 45m drive back and forth everyday!It makes me in a great mood Everytime!

[@getdrippy4416]

This helped me a lot. I started selling my own art this year. Hearing these guys breakdown how long they grinded before recognition definitely let me know I was on the right path.

[@joshuafrato]

This podcast is so underrated, this is by far one of your best ones. Holy shit it was so good it really really made me think about my life. Thanks so much for having them on man.

[@JackOwensNewTeeth]

I was actually at the show (Green Bay, WI) where Joe sang with Lamb of God, did a great job.

[@ABRwtfBBQ]

One of my favorite podcasts! Stoked to listen to this one!

[@quantumdigital1404]

This is perfect. Big respect for all in the room. Josean's story is awesome.

[@johnnygotgrowls]

What an amazing episode. It's gotta be one of my favorites

[@ryandlv]

great dudes, great music, thanks for bringing them on

[@Tragich3ro]

Holy shit these dudes are the most genuine and humble. I remember seeing them years ago and they fucking ripped. Gotta get back into them

[@jakepayne2985]

Great interview! PAT- If you remember letting a small lad on stage to hold your guitar after the show in Memphis, TN in Jan 2022- that was my son Michael and he still talks about that to this day. What a bad ass moment! Thank you

[@adrianamposta6727]

this podcast cements why at 48 this band is my favorite band.....very humble guys.

[@eduardocolindres890]

Finally, I was waiting for this podcast long time ago 🤘🏼

[@brettneedham88]

Thank you to FFAA for getting me through some hard times. Thank you to all the family members behind the scenes that help make this all happen. The domino effect is real. You guys do so much more than play/write music. Thank you thank you 🙏

[@heavyvibes90]

One of my all-time favorite bands. Josean is such a great drummer.

[@erikheathnat3212]

Thanks Garza for taking a photo and signing my Doom Metal vest at MMF Friday night. Next time SS comes to town, I'm there.

[@lostboyfeelsnothing4839]

I remember seeing ffaa at spot shortly after hellbound dropped and meeting nate was iconic to me, josean had been new to the band and his english wasnt the best but he had this contagious ambition and watching them play back then to now is so much growth in not only songwriting but as people

[@TStizzle19]

Let's GOOOOOOO been waiting for this one Chris!

[@ChelseaGrin8094]

"We got fed 3 times".... I love this band

[@NupaLittleOwl]

Saw these dudes back in Jan 2022 at St Paul, MN and had a genuine talk with Pat about my favorite song by them, Black Mammoth. Being native and seeing the band perform the song meant the world to me, also while trying not to die in the pit bc I'm short lol. It was so hard to not cry talking to Pat about it post show for that brief moment lol. An amazing group of dudes playing heavy music and doing what they love. 🤘

[@danson1992]

Idk why I got emotional watching this, the vibe of everyone in this band is palpable

[@IlijaStajic]

My favourite listen so far. Tremendous respect especially goes to Pat. Never knew about the off-the-stage lifestyle personally and as a young father myself, and a musician... a real eye-opener, you have truly inspired and motivated me. I feel revitalised and I am deadset going to give this music thing one more proper shot! Great as usual Garza, thoroughly enjoyable podcast.

[@clayhutcheson439]

Fit for an autopsy is the best metel band ever,I think!!!!

[@codeP08]

Pat shouts out Matt Heafy, and man, yeah, when FFAA opened for Trivium for the Deadmen and Dragons shows, that's where I know Fit from. So I am one of those fans these guys gained through Meat Beefy. Saw them live on this Euro tour they just did, and fuuuuck, was it brutal. It was so sick.

[@KP-vr6ft]

Been in love with this band for a minute and don't see nothing stopping them

[@Zdoterik]

Hey man I just wanted to say thanks for this podcast. Every episode is so intriguing and it’s like a mini music doc every time. This also has become a comfort show for me when I’m having high anxiety. So thanks for all that you and your crew do man.

[@antonticak1063]

You are on my playlist on my way to work, Fit For An Autopsy. Thank you! 👊

[@alexkauffman3569]

Truly amazing podcast, and such great guys! Mad respect.

[@Chaos46992]

Thank you so much for featuring my favorite band!

[@Jumper76Anton]

I love these guys. Always go out of their way to say hi to me at their shows. Just legends! Unfortunate that Tim wasn't there!

[@jbasti227]

Great way to end the birthday 👍🏼 been a fan since AHAH and even more so when I found out they’re also from JC (or at least originally based out of here). Been a great journey seeing their evolution over the years. Great pod as always Garza. Also would be dope to see Will Putney on here at some point.

[@uniservicemann3186]

This band and everyone in it is pure class.⭐️

[@defrauder_band]

one of the best drummers in the game right there

[@gretelsgooch1676]

Best guests by far,cant wait to listen

[@gtay6726]

Love this band so much!!!!

[@DrummerAndyTaiwan]

i never really get into their music, but these people are the best human, im very impressed by their humanity, def gonna check out their music, such a good episode and youre doing a great job hosting the show as always Garza, keep up the good work man, this is so so good, i feel very inspired, love from TAIWAN!

[@marvinmanucan5654]

Just saw them recently here in Australia. Man they were really awesome. I'd say they're one of the best in the game right now.

[@dustinhodges9987]

SICK!!! Keep on bringing the heavy hitters

[@Potelander]

Fuaaa I already loved and respected this band, but now I love and respect them even more! Such an awesome group of people.

[@metalheadblues]

Keep it up Garza. Your podcasting skills are getting good!

[@ozzycarreon1115]

Just found this podcast thanks for getting me through my shift!!

[@billyrobitaille7839]

Thank you for always having amazing guests and awsome , real life convo. This style podcasts are what is missing in podcasting. A breath of fresh air in that sence. So thank you for this.

[@LScoginge]

Thanks for doing these podcasts dude. Super cool to have an insight into some of my favorite bands.

[@Grimeyhoob]

Great podcast once again sir ❤️. love fit for an autopsy - met Patrick briefly at the second London gig with Thy art, amazing dude. Looking forward to the Whitechapel, Thy art and fit for an autopsy gig in October.

[@lchaney]

Met him briefly in Seattle as well. They certainly are all business. But great dudes nonetheless. 🤘

[@lchaney]

So jealous you guys are getting that lineup, btw

[@Grimeyhoob]

@@lchaney Man, I wouldn’t blame them if they were all business, you need to be to conserve energy for the next show of the tour and not get overwhelmed by the fans, which would deplete you of the energy you need. I don’t actually think they are all business though. If they were all business they wouldn’t go into the crowd to stand with the fans at the venue to watch Thy Art is Murder straight after. They would easily watch from elsewhere or go hide away from the fans. But they didn’t. I for one didn’t want to bother him for a photo or autograph. He’s a human and deserves rest after a day of work like the rest of us. I simply told him, “great show” and did a fist bump 🤜 with him that’s it. Didn’t want to take any more of his time and let him unwind from an intense performance and day of work.

[@Grimeyhoob]

@@lchaney yeah brilliant lineup. So happy about it. Literally three of my favourite bands performing together. I love Whitechapel, fit for an autopsy and thy art is murder. If by some miracle if they also had Knocked Loose on that billing, that would be the worlds best ever tour.

[@mixinmasta]

Hey Joe Bad! I did crossfit in the pit to your entire set!! We talked about it afterwards lol Great to see yall getting so much press and exposure!! FFAA fuckin ruuuulessss

[@davidbuckingham4023]

Nothing but love for the guys in FFAA, not only is their amazing, they're amazing humans as well.

[@Buckers2202]

Amazing video. Fit have become my favourite band, so much to enjoy going through their discography. So much variety and memorable stuff with a distinct sound. Hope they come to the UK soon!

[@josephruspantini]

Such a well spoken and professional group. Not to mention, I’ve seen them live and they absolutely kill it every time.

[@Knox_Gill]

I love Fit For an Autopsy sm

[@robertchadwick518]

These guys are awesome! Such a great humble set of dudes! And the work ethic is 🔥🔥

[@imfireproof]

Chris, I LOVE your podcast! This is the second episode I‘ve seen! The first was with Travis Ryan! These are so deep, informative, emotional and even funny! Thank you thank you THANK YOU for doing this podcast!!!

[@Demolisher375]

MORE LORE!!! thank you garza!!!

[@kevbo3908]

needed this podcast today. lot of real life talk from a great band

[@routeshell]

Another gem of a podcast! These dudes are so genuine I fucking smiled the whole time 😁

[@joeastin9149]

Met These guys in Australia on the Oh what the future holds headliner. Wouldn't of missed it. Had moved house that day and had a family tradgedy and got down for the direct support and Fit. Met Pat and Joe and Patrick. Both so nice but my conversation with Patrick with so genuine and nice and we had an amazing talk. He is tje sweetest person I've ever met. And so good live. I absolutely love FFAA and so happy There starting to pop. Love the guys ❤❤ Patrick is honestly the best person ive met.

[@joshuacloutier5675]

I remember seeing these dudes on tour with Fallujah and Aegaeon. After the show, I had the opportunity to hang out with Josean while he was there, "fill in drummer". We exchanged phone numbers and kept up over the years. So fucking awesome to see him as a permanent member of one of the biggest bands in the game! The dude is awesome.

[@b-metalfreak4911]

These dudes are great! I love how humble and real these guys are. I cant express my appreciation for this band. They have influenced me and have motivated me to take my guitar play more serious. And because of that I have grown as a player and pushed my self past what I ever thought I could do. They have taught me to work outside my comfort zone and my playing reflects that. It has help me mentally, to not feel like a failure my family always told me I would be, and make my dreams come a reality. So if this one day reaches one of you guys please know you are an awesome group of guys to follow and you've helped in my life more than you can ever know. Please don't ever stop what you are doing. You show that there can be a suite and tie professional death metal band. \m/

[@rubenvandervelde8584]

Massive FFAO fan here, keep up the good work and see you 2x in the Netherlands later this year 🤘

[@julianosantos7086]

FFAA great band, great ideas, great music... Come to Brazil!!

[@AnnieCadaver]

I learned English the same way.. I translated Slipknot and Marilyn Manson lyrics, I wrote down every word I didn’t know and took my dictionary because I wanted to know what they are singing about.. so the vocabulary I got from the music and the grammar I learned at school .. but in my opinion, English is not a difficult language to learn (I’m german) I think French or Russian are way more hard to learn

[@jaredriensee9542]

Need to get Frankie from emmure and Tom barber from chelsea grin those are my dream episodes right next to will ramos

[@Rob_Cary]

He should have Frankie on and constantly tell him that he needs to let Josh Travis take the reigns of songwriting haha. I loved look at yourself but was extremely disappointed in Hindsight.

[@jdcandido]

the topics are so inspiring.

[@barrygomez5968]

FFAA the GOATS of Deathcore

[@valyrianchicken]

I can listen to Patrick forever.

[@misfit151]

I have so much respect for this band. Especially Pat. What a stand up dude. Great interview, Chris. Keep them coming. Also, I feel you.on the be coming a dad part. I think I'm ready for it myself. Good luck brother.

[@whoseinmymouth]

Love FFA! Met them in Wiesbaden Germany a few years ago opening for Architects. Such nice guys and glad to see how they have grown over the years. Look forward to seeing them again with Thy Art is Murder, Whitechapel and Spite!

[@brandoj5042]

This was a great interview.

[@CH-ml4rz]

Heck yes!

[@TheJohn9793]

Napalm Dreams is my favorite FFAA song and I'm so happy that Pat and the guys believe in that sound. It what makes this band one of the best in scene.

[@9deadBand]

Great interview Chris! shout out Blue! we love you man!

[@Chef_Deth]

These guys are peaking rn….absolutely killer live band seen them in April and they destroyeddddd can’t wait for a new album cuz the last one is just so damn good…new song Hellions is a straight banger keep the sickness going stoked for another tour hopefully headlining thanks for the great music FFAA rules

[@DofWMaelstrom]

Damn, got my favourite band on. This is gonna be a good one.

[@fliproleluwu5602]

[@davidingraham1918]

16:10 can't imagine how sick his vocal demo with Travelers was

[@Galactic_fart_sniffer]

Cool podcast. Now ill get back to blastin fit for an autopsy.

[@cmc47834]

The breakdown for Hellions is nasty! Great podcast as usual

[@ulugbekdjuraev3833]

Love this freaking band!

[@reubenk7331]

Great interview, and I really liked the question about what their view on heaven was!

[@mainlymute280]

Saw them in St Louis with Signs of the Swarm, Enterprise Earth, Great American Ghost and Ingested 5 days after their latest album dropped and I will remember that night forever. Wish I could've said hey to all those guys but my brother and I got to talk to Joe and he's such a cool guy, always waiting for more.

[@xDustinLeeFxx]

Great pod

[@CH-ml4rz]

I had my ears ringing for 6 months after my second Primitive Man show.

[@MrAngel1398]
