OG SUICIDE SILENCE: Family Guy Samples, Inventing Deathcore & The Early Days | Garza Podcast 83

[@teeth.0f.g0d]

I love how Josh has the demeanour of a Bond villain

[@TommyWitDaTone]

I was thinking he could be the son of R.L. Stine, lmao

[@andrewalarcon818]

I was thinking more Jeff gold bloom

[@harmatodlamstel6435]

He has teh demeanour of grown up stewie griffon

[@stevesanchez8686]

😂

[@tornwithin]

Nice to have a place where our story can be told; we've gotten some new fans due to the podcast and we are grateful for it.

[@TheChrispablo]

Josh is well-spoken

[@marcosbrown7467]

I had a deal with my brother that I would see Tool with him if he went to the Suicide Silence show with me. I don't remember the year to be exact, but it was before The Cleansing. As Blood Runs Black, This As Blood and Katatklysm were playing. My brother has recently passed, but I am forever thankful that i have memories like this to look back on. Suicide Silence will always have a special place in my heart because I saw them TWICE in the Mitch era with my brother. Don't ever take your loved ones for granted because you will never know when they will be gone.

[@decadesofsegregation9677]

Sorry for your loss. Those memories are priceless.

[@punishedhek7495]

r.i.p to your brother, sounds like he was awesome and loved..rest in power

[@JorgeLorenzana-g4c]

Rest in breakdown’s 🖤

[@poser_disposer]

This was a very beautiful podcast. Catching up with old friends in a healthy and productive way is so rare.

[@tornwithin]

its refreshing for people to recognize this.

[@DrewCHollingshead]

The only other band I can think of is Killswitch Engage.

[@lubitzmcschwubitz6293]

Man Josh is such an intelligent, appreciative character and Rick is so calm and pure. Keep the contact with those guys Garza, those are real ones!

[@tornwithin]

Much Appreciated🤙

[@DonovanPete]

It was based off of the EP that I was trying to book the guys on the Navajo Nation, but being a young and dumb promoter, I didn’t have the funds to do it. I remember some a year after emailing them, I seen in Phoenix when Mitch was still doing his thing on stage and asked when they’ll play on the Navajo Nation, he said it would be rad, and if you know promoters that can help, let’s make it happen! Last year, the guys played on the Navajo Nation; bittersweet without Mitch, but I’m so glad to have them play for our Diné folks!

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

Did you ever book the band “Knights of the Abyss” from Arizona Tempe/ phoenix Area If I remember correctly.

[@ImMetalGhosty]

Suicide Silence lore lets gooo

[@yourlowestpoint]

I found Suicide Silence on myspace like many others back in the day. The samples were hilarious and influenced so many bands. It was incredibly satisfying when the band released The Cleansing without the samples and allowed the music to stand on it's own merits. One of the most influential deathcore bands of all time. Massive respect to you, Chris.

[@Dieafreak]

They got it from grind and deathgrind, crust punk. A lot of those genres were the first to sample in extreme metal and core genres/ micro genres

[@brunotortorello8530]

On that humble part, my band opened for Suicide silence when they last came to Brazil and they're truly one of the most humble bands ever. They let us enter the space that was reserved for them, talked to us, watched us sound check, gave us coffee (which I drank a lot that day) truly the most humble band ever

[@Jonathan138]

When it comes to riffs Rick just gets it. Josh had the fastest transformation of any drummer I’ve ever seen 🤯

[@drumsandpizza]

Love hearing about the OG SS lore. Great episode🔥

[@saintluciaofficial2019]

This was great! These two definitely deserve the credit for getting Suicide Silence going.

[@Lucas-pf9rd]

Crazy how important these 2 seem to the bands history, Josh's excitement and off-kilter humor and Rick's musical drive and vision at the time seem to be what made the band what its been since

[@Walmartshoez]

Josh’s sense of humor is great.

[@corporalpunishment924]

When I met Suicide Silence yeeeaarrs ago in Reno Nevada everyone was very humble and down to earth. By far the coolest guys in a major act I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I remember meeting their guitar tech at Starbucks and having a conversation about skateboarding completely by accident and then getting along really well so he gave me a backstage pass and the whole experience rekindled my love for musicianship. In a way these guys saved me from the corporate world and reminded me again of who I really was. Mad respect from me always for Suicide Silence.

[@stuartbixby]

Thus brought a tear to my eye.. I miss Mitch very much.

[@stephencooper3920]

This was a pleasant surprise!!

[@GoroStern]

This was a great insight, not only into the early days of SS, but into how Garza became Garza, and who better to tell us about it than Rick and Josh. Loved the dynamic between these 3!

[@Razrback]

we need a og suicide silence tour be so dope have new and old like memorial show switching out

[@Akera541]

It's also so crazy that Mathieu Paquette from Beheading of a king and disfigured Elegance, passed around the same time as Mitch. He was really crazy talented too.

[@kieranshearer8943]

Still my favourite vocalist to this day, he was absolutely incredible

[@ifgwelf]

Beheading of a King go hard

[@jayrific]

Something about a guy in a turtleneck saying I invented deathcore!!!

[@LiquidSun62]

Especially when its not true at all

[@ch0king_victtim]

@@LiquidSun62 yeah they were pioneers but deathcore was a thing looongg before suicide silence

[@Dieafreak]

You’ve been under a rock. Or maybe not with mainstream fashion or fashion itself. Dudes been wearing Turtlencks for the last couple years already. They’ve been in style and popular recently since 2020

[@joeyuzwa891]

@@ch0king_victtimfor real. The Belgians started doing that shit in the 90s. Just look at Deformity and other H8000 bands

[@thatswhutyourmomsaid]

[@TheEricM12]

All timer episode. Got me checking out Torn Within

[@tornwithin]

S I C K !!

[@robertg305]

The Family Guy Demo story is hilarious lol

[@xtheyan]

I listen to this episode once a week , they both should be regular guests on the show 🤘🏻🔥

[@ABRwtfBBQ]

I love this episode it’s so cool so see you guys go down memory lane and talk about the early days of suicide silence one of my favorite episodes for sure

[@eternallife9786]

You can tell there's a lot of love and respect for Chris❤

[@Iheartbreakdowns]

My 14, and 31 year old self thanks all 3 of you.

[@Diebold410]

I would love to hear the records that inspired suicide silence to write the cleansing and no time to bleed. The two best deathcore records of all time.

[@BrendaGonzalez-th5bm]

I started listening to Suicide Silence in 05 when i was 14. Changed my life. Thank you. 🖤

[@daddyodoyle]

i like this josh guy. he seems like a classy guy.

[@Drake45100]

For real, watched the whole thing and stil can't believe that this dude was a deathcore drummer

[@Chaosmos_1349]

Everything up to the 1st album was absolutely killer. The self titled EP is my personal fav.

[@brett5569]

This is such a wholesome and honest episode. Easily one of the best.

[@SOAjames]

Amazing seeing you guys having this conversation, and also it was so wholesome seeing you guys talking heart to heart.. felt good seeing.

[@TommyWitDaTone]

You gotta get Bodkins on the podcast! Would love to hear about his experience with the band. It was so sick hearing from Rick and Josh, probably my favorite episode so far

[@bryce36]

Suicide silence changed my life. My main inspiration for wanting to play guitar and play heavy music. Mitch was my first inspiration to start doing vocals when i first heard the cleansing in high school.

[@197Media]

LAKE ELSINORE IN THE MIX WITHIN THE FIRST TWO MINUTES LETS GOOOOOO

[@brianbaugusmusic]

Man, I’d love to get my hands on that CD Binder and just have a sick music trip down memory lane

[@demencha-1]

Always knew about SS growing up but thought they were “too heavy”for my taste as a middle schooler lol. I remember reading online when Mitch unfortunately passed and feeling sad at how the scene lost an iconic frontman. But I’m rediscovering all the badass songs going down the SS rabbit hole. I missed out on those great moments but am glad the internet exists to give us videos like this! RIP Mitch

[@combr]

The best episode!!! Is awesome how the dynamic truned Garza from host to interviewed, on a regular bassis he is the one conducting the interview here is more and a back and forth. Love it.

[@MrTyrone6505]

Love this! It’s cool to hear the early days of Sui and how it all started. Very humbling and it’s great to see y’all are reconnecting again.

[@BodyBag_Gaming]

Josh has one of those voices and speaking cadence that I could just sit and listen for hours. This was a great show!

[@namelesserv5419]

This one is legendary 🤘🤘🤘

[@danielthomson3367]

Should have these guys back on regularly

[@migdclm]

Yes 🙌🏽

[@mizikic]

The OGs 🔥

[@reubenk7331]

Really great conversation. It is really starting to blow my mind how many bands that are big now, were so close to failure and disbanding. Obviously everyone has to start somewhere, but the sheer force of will to keep going is impressive.

[@METALHEAD2022]

First off, I literally forgot to request this type of episode of the podcast. Before I was thinking about requesting this, but I just thought it was impossible to get this going. I also have to thank the people for requesting this and for Chris to do it after their pleads. I'm so glad that I get sit down and listen to two of the original members of Suicide Silence. In that case, get Mike on here, love to hear from him! Btw, this is literally the face reveal of Josh.

[@stevesanchez8686]

Its nice hearing bakersfield and jerrys pizza brought up. My hometown, great podcast ep.

[@BlastBeatBreakdown]

Josh needs to have the most professional and classiest metal podcast

[@wildxseven]

i always wondered what the former members were like since there is only so much footage of them. this was a great listen/watch meeting some of the people that helped lay the foundation of suicide silence. brilliant episode!

[@pastyninja3212]

We need a torn within x SS tour ❤

[@tornwithin]

Torn Within would love that.

[@LOL_Whut]

Pretty lit to see old friends forget past grudges and rebuild friendships. Great episode.

[@DeathMetalFanatic666]

It’s amazing to see the OG’s on the podcast! How awesome is this.

[@tyyohr1841]

Man, I love how you three go back in time and pull out the album booklet im class of 07 so I really can relate in a big way with the bands you guys listen to back in the day

[@allofmars]

Always looking forward to these episodes, man. Cheers!

[@kingovflesh]

I bet Josh could do a killer Christopher Walkin impression.

[@TheWeavs1999]

I was thinking the same thing

[@cameroncorrosive925]

i love the dynamics of these individual friendships here. also that bit at @1:35:00 Garza doing a callout to the homie to hangout and catchup. sometimes you need to hit people back up and rehash things.

[@TaylorDezzy]

Was waiting for this for forever!

[@Maniacdeathcore]

Definitely my favorite episode Chris 🤘🏼 enjoyed getting to know more about the bands history and hear more about Mitch

[@migdclm]

Great interview 🤘🏽love every second . Garza’s podcast is one the best Metal podcast 🙌🏽

[@devinollie]

i once met the og bassist mike bodkins at a pool party in 2017 and got a pic with him and my friend when i was 15. Super cool guy to chat with and he was reminiscing on stories of him and Mitch on tour, I wasn't a fan of Suicide Silence let alone much deathcore at the time but little did I know how influential this band would become to me as I got older

[@LP-ec7hw]

What a great episode. These guys have a special story and we get to hear it. 🤘🏼🔥

[@ccruz3639]

Such a good episode. Idk why but I got emotional throughout. Loved to see you guys reconnecting and reminiscing. Spectacular vibes 🖤🤘🏽

[@tornwithin]

It was a great feeling in the room as well. You could hear a pin drop while Josh was telling his story about departing from the group. Much love to both Chris and Josh.

[@LanceQualls-tf4tt]

This might be the best one yet Fucking Incredible

[@abdo19code]

I love how people in the metal scene have changed COMPLETELY since the early 2000s. We were such dicks back then. I'm glad we've grown up.

[@malicioustactics6846]

@@abdo19code People are still dicks. You've just become desensitized like most of us 🤣

[@gerrymotions3601]

I'm really enjoying this as someone who was influenced by early suicide silence it's nice to see the brotherhood and connection and the whole going through the CD case it's amazing to see. I can promise you that I'm gonna go and listen to those albums to listen to who influenced who influenced me. Thank you guys for everything you do long live Suicide Silence and I'm definitely a fan of the podcast as well. Really great connection ❤

Blood Has Been Shed is so underrated.

This is like finding a childhood toy and all the memories cone back. Half my life ago these guys had an influence on me

[@red240red2]

Josh should voice audiobooks!

[@bones329]

It was a great show as a fan to see all of you guys on. It’s funny because I had been listening to your very early music when you all were in the band. So it was rad to hear this part of SS history that I never heard before.
