HardLore: Madison Watkins (Year of the Knife)

[@fcaioki7949]

Colin legit almost made me cry with that introduction 😂

[@codylee3652]

had to spinkick the tears away for real

[@C_Seamus]

I am sitting in public transport and i needed the spunkuck against the quivering lip and involuntary tears.

[@JiggyWilson]

You ain't kidding.

[@CloakedDnb]

I WAS AT WORK BRO, ACTING LIKE IM WIPING SWEAT AWAY LMFAO. GOOD GOD GOT ME SIDEWAYS

[@XFroFroX]

Madison “Wolverine” Watkins 🫡

[@LifeDrain001]

The real WeaponX

[@JohnEvans-xg2bp]

This title better stick

[@particlejim]

Wolverine Watkins!

[@corycourtney8923]

LogKins

[@joshholton7542]

“There are certain things you forgot, but you never forgot me”. … never would have guessed Hardlore could bring me to the verge of tears ❤

[@deadlydoodlestx]

the hard cut right after she said it so we couldn't see Colin + Bo absolutely lose it too lol incredibly sweet moment

[@jbasti227]

Fucked me up real good

[@okaight7248]

crazy guest, Glad she is healthy

[@paulderbyshire6953]

Madison Watkins may just be the sweetest person on the planet

[@DR_DINGLENUT]

So happy to see Madi healthy and getting stronger everyday. BTW, is that pinkest room in hardcore?

[@whoisdin]

33 minutes in and i'm already overwhelmed by her positivity. what an absolute stellar of a person.

[@PureNoiseRecs]

YOTK Forever

[@metalxhead]

Two minutes in and I have tears in my eyes, trying not to cry. I wore my Madi shirt the last two or three days. Unbelievable strength, positivity, and support from everyone. Love you guys and the community

[@enidrollslaw]

Madi is a JOY! And you guys did an amazing job ❤

[@deadlydoodlestx]

"But you never forgot me" 11:05, then the immediate hard cut to just Madi so that we can't see Colin + Bo absolutely losing it 😭 Dear god I started tearing up, man, this episode is an emotional one! MADI IS THE REAL HARDLORE WARRIOR

[@FilthyJazz]

Incredible, so happy this episode exists.

[@sakuya3976]

The thing madi said about not worrying how you sound and just having fun really helped me right now. My band plays our first show this saturday and I sing and play bass but I've never sung in a band before, therefore I'm really nervous.

[@StraightPunkEdge93]

This is just the best thing to hear early in the morning! Madi, you fucking rule!!!

[@gab_a_gool]

Madi, what a sweet and kind spirit. I’m so glad she’s doing well.

[@michalwitka9158]

stop cutting the fuckin onions, im dying over here.

[@thehalfnerd2221]

Saw YOTK on their run with Creeping Death a few days before the accident. I wasn’t feeling up to it but I pushed myself since I was so excited about Madi becoming the vocalist. I’m so glad I went to that show and I’m so glad that this episode can exist now.

[@blltz4410]

Every time I miss a show like that I regret it. Glad you went!

[@picklehorse635]

MADI WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU AND YOTK!!!

[@cedthebear3664]

Wow so happy to see her doing great ❤❤❤

[@DrTabarnak]

She's fucking awesome. What a trooper! Telling death "fuck you, I'm not ready to go yet. I'm fighting back." That's HARD-lore.

[@infinitepossibility]

She is such a sweetheart. A truly wholesome episode

[@Jon-vn9sn]

Glassjaw and Deftones are the two reasons I got into hardcore too.

[@eddiebeil190]

Deftones is an obvious, I mean like one of my favorite bands EVER, but Glassjaw NEEDS to be talked about more. I mean Sammy fucking siegler drummed on the first record. One of the greatest bands to EVER do it

[@corycourtney8923]

Seeing Madi on here and healthy means everything. I wear my YOTK shirt when I need strength. Love ya'll.

[@DungeonHunters]

Madi you truly are WOLVERINE! Hope for nothing but success for you moving forward! Awesome Episode Y’all!

[@loridawn_wotp]

Can’t keep a hardcore woman down! So happy Madi is back and ready to tear it up again! All love and strength to her and the YOTK family!!

[@Draketopher]

So happy to see Madi make such a great recovery. Really amazing guest.

[@rockerguy890]

how is she such a wonderful person?????

[@badandy4452]

I meant Madi would not even know who she. When Year of the Knife was opening up for Knocked Loose, she was at the merch booth and she was selling her own stuff with candy corpse and she had like a pink hat that said Kawaii on it and I just thought it was fucking awesome and I bought it and she was just so sweet and excited that I bought something from her brand.

[@jimmysuplex]

This was the Master Killer of awesome, emotionally powerful Hardlore episodes. Wolverine Watkins!

[@joshw9736]

She is so bad ass and amazing. YOTK Forever.

[@CallieCore]

Man. The fact that she essentially had her entire body exploded and came out the other side of it still an absolute ray of sunshine in seemingly every situation is just unreal. Next time I'm feeling grouchy or upset about something I need to just remember to take a page out of Madi's book.

[@amberobsidian113]

I was thinking the same thing while crying watching this video. The world needs more people like Madi.

[@sideshowbob8220]

Happy to see she and the rest of the band are good.

[@ziggystardust3432]

So glad Madison is doing good.

[@wheaty39]

I cried my ass off at the beginning wtf. Great to see her doing so well!

[@andrewpussycat5287]

when Bo pulls out some history i’m so fucking Lored

[@Ryan-31]

What a lovely, Beautiful soul she is. I'm so happy to see her so doing so well. ❤

[@VinnyChezni]

So happy to see her on. I'm glad she's back and healthy

[@diskomvort]

Def my favorite episode right here! Good to see Madi back!

[@nivek5352]

This video needs much more attention

[@js6527]

This rips so hard and I will support this band no matter fucking what from this day forward.

[@jxcobaniki6709]

The whole van accident thing reminds me of the story behind the band Misery Signals. They've been a big influence on bands like Counterparts and paved the way for modern metalcore. It would be really sick if you guys had someone from the band like Jesse, Stu, or Ryan on this podcast.

[@squalgod8410]

You can tell Madison is such a nice person.

[@scottgajewski3925]

Fuck I'm only 24:48 in and I already love Madison! She is the nicest, most humble and down to earth person ever! So fuckin happy you and the band got through everything!

[@misterjingles666]

How does this not have like 1 billion views.

[@deadmanwithpitchforkarms8376]

I'm so glad she is doing fine! I really love the "traditionally girly" room Madi is in lol (I can't really make out what it is but there's a Sailor Moon-themed something on the wall lol, I guess it's a skateboard?). Pretty intense contrast compared to her vocals and the music she sings on

[@CoffeeLyfe]

MADI FOREVER

[@VolumeSe7en]

I don’t know if I was misinformed over the last year but this whole time I thought she had brain damage! It makes me so happy to know that she recovered physically and wasn’t robbed of her cognizance. When she said she never forgot Brandon during the recovery process I almost lost my shit. I hope YOTK gets to tour and she can keep following her dreams!

[@brettwodon5896]

she did. its pretty amazing that she's recovered to the state she's in now

[@davidmesa3651]

20 mins in and I’ll already getting emotional.

[@ryanbeitler3231]

What a lovely person

[@rnbwsmtl]

this episode was so good - very happy to see this very genuine and amazing lady doing so well!

[@Veeto]

year of the knife forever. everyone being okay after all this insane incident brings way too much joy to me. intro made me want to sob like a baby.

[@landondefever1187]

So glad you're doing well, Madison!!!

[@Kingflower91]

The feeling I had when I heard they crashed is when the ghost inside crashed as well I cried my top favorite bands have been thru some fucking shit ! I’m glad all the band members are okay and coming back harder !

[@hannahkozlovic1715]

I was really hoping you guys would do an episode with Madi, this is fucking awesome. I’m so relieved that they’re doing well after the extremity of that crash. She seems like such an incredibly wonderful and positive person, just based on this episode alone.

[@TasteTheRambo812]

gahleee what a great few moments to have in this shit day. So glad to see this. thanks Bo and Colin so glad to see this pod.

[@fromny9422]

i remember pulling up to the Colorado springs date and hearing about this when it happened was so sad, but happy to hear madi is doing well! get back out here soon! we need YOTK in CO!

[@oscarharrison1667]

The most wholesome episode, hope there’s a Miles warspite episode in the future . HC community in recovery worldwide has been amazing to see !!

[@tfwordschannel]

Glad Madi is doing better and hoping the rest of the band is too. This was an awesome talk. Really liking this podcast and keep up the great work.

[@JiggyWilson]

Absolutely unbreakable. YOTK forever 🙏🧡🖤🙌

[@vincek6613]

She's so nice she genuinely answers Colins dumb questions

[@adyshaw8507]

I met a couple of years ago at Outbreak in Manchester. Post set she was a the merch stand. Even in those couple of minutes interaction, I could tell she was great. I followed her progress post accident and this is a so heartwarming to watch. I can not wait to see THE KNIFE again!

[@MrMaccelinho]

WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS? sooo great to see her

[@jamesalfredburchiii4599]

No Love Lost was my favorite album from 2023, and one of the best of the decade. So glad to see Madi back. Hardest person in hardcore.

[@IH8YH]

I was at the Dortmund show when Maddie first did full vocal duties tour, and everyone was like "no tyler? thats weird" and then they played and everyone was like... dammmmn she should do that full time! utterly convinced

[@bigdavedta1]

Madison is an absolute legend.

[@Edzilla3]

Shes a fucking warrior

[@x.BRAiNZ.x]

Big love!

[@alexandriaveil2436]

#QUEENOFHARDCORE🖤

[@KMKimo]

Damn she looks amazing! Bless

[@hilmanzee]

I'm so happy for Madi! The podcast is awesome too!

[@tempurasupplyco]

being from slc, nearly every hardcoreguy, gal and kid actually didnt realize until like the next morning, they left i think it was the urban lounge, otw to denver and honestly word got quick, wasnt even like 12 hours, im glad their fine and there can be more, years of the knife!

[@jesshayes668]

Madi is a queen

[@justinbudach5008]

Love the Chelsea Wolfe shirt

[@getdrippy4416]

What a band. I think Madi is such an interesting vocalist. For me her vocals changed the way I followed the band.

[@LILDIRTNAPX]

!BINDING OF ISAAC MENTIONED! 29:15 actual best game of all time lol

[@wttruax5816]

She is such a ray of sunshine

[@Prettyhatemachine23]

Colin’s face at 37:18. Holy shit that was hilarious.

[@KyleHarmer]

YES!!!! I'm not crying...wait, dammit, yes I am

[@Jongobarker]

Absolutely beautiful ep chaps. So glad to see Madi doing so well. Beautiful work.

[@abigbeautifultomorrow1026]

I've watched this 3 times. She is the best human being.

[@anthonyletitin]

Colin is alarmingly flexible

[@Flacoisbored]

What a badass

[@Jondus850]

This was soooo cool to see!! YOTK 🫶

[@zacharybean9191]

[@itchyvinyl]

I dig a lot of different music, though I'm not a member of the hardcore community. Yet the latest Year Of The Knife album is the record I've listened to the most in 2024. Madi's vocals are a huge part of what I love about them. She's one of the best doing it. And you can tell she plays bass...the screams are musical and in the pocket. So glad she's ok. YOU DON'T KNOW OUT OF CONTROL!!!!

[@wecomai]

Respect

[@therealcooterbrown]

YOTK FOREVER. Madi is a living legend.

[@supremexruler]

damn im cryin rn. shout out to madi and yotk!

[@x93tilinfinityx]

I fuck w Madi on the snack foods for movies.

[@alixhirschi6600]

On the Studio Ghibli subject, I think Pom Poko is DEFINITELY the most underrated, I NEVER hear anyone talk about it and it’s one of my favorites!!!

[@diazable]

madison for the win!!!! glad the band her are all okay

[@budrothefox3666]

Madi is a literal Angel.

[@vincek6613]

When the ghost inside got in their accident, their record label donated album sales to the recovery too

[@posicore]

Madi’s voice reminds me of Zooey Deschanel #yotk YOTK‼️

[@CH-ml4rz]

I can hear that!

[@chaseonthefly]

Upcoming YOTK shows will sell out in seconds

[@sMoKEy131]

"Agreed ! Raisins are the worst food ever !!!!" Great Episode!!! ..and welcome back Madison! 🏁

[@theaspiration]

Yep! Raisins are fuckin foul!

[@sisyphushappyxvx]

I feel vindicated that Always the Hard Way has always been my favorite Terror record and even listed it as one of my top 4 on the Lettermoshed video.

[@chance17754]

Years of loving year of the knife. To hear her life after spread out on a platform like this is magical. Can’t wait to see them again. Thank god for hardcore. Thank god for Madi’s life

[@JohnEvans-xg2bp]

Sorry, getting here a little late after the moshing beatdown I received and participated in last night watching Momentum, Judiciary, Sunami, and Kublai Khan TX in Milwaukee...damn I'm old

[@anthonyletitin]

I feel you brother, saw Magnitude and Field of Flames last weekend as was fucked up

[@cedthebear3664]

Year Of The Madison ❤
