[@paulderbyshire6953]

Madison Watkins may just be the sweetest person on the planet

[@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

[@XFroFroX]

Madison “Wolverine” Watkins 🫡

[@LifeDrain001]

The real WeaponX

[@JohnEvans-xg2bp]

This title better stick

[@particlejim]

Wolverine Watkins!

[@corycourtney8923]

LogKins

[@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

[@okaight7248]

crazy guest, Glad she is healthy

[@PureNoiseRecs]

YOTK Forever

[@whoisdin]

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

[@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

[@DR_DINGLENUT]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@quesonukefps]

Hope you’re still out there killing it homie.

[@gab_a_gool]

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

[@FilthyJazz]

Incredible, so happy this episode exists.

[@StraightPunkEdge93]

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

[@enidrollslaw]

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

[@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!!

[@corycourtney8923]

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

[@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!

[@DungeonHunters]

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

[@picklehorse635]

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

[@nikwillis5428]

One of the most awesome guests you've had

[@jimmysuplex]

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

[@infinitepossibility]

She is such a sweetheart. A truly wholesome episode

[@Draketopher]

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

[@diskomvort]

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

[@Ryan-31]

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

[@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!

[@cedthebear3664]

Wow so happy to see her doing great ❤❤❤

[@rnbwsmtl]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@nivek5352]

This video needs much more attention

[@sideshowbob8220]

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

[@ryanbeitler3231]

What a lovely person

[@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.

[@VinnyChezni]

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

[@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 !!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@landondefever1187]

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

[@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

[@rockerguy890]

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

[@jesshayes668]

Madi is a queen

[@hilmanzee]

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

[@JiggyWilson]

Absolutely unbreakable. YOTK forever 🙏🧡🖤🙌

[@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!

[@squalgod8410]

You can tell Madison is such a nice person.

[@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

[@wheaty39]

I cried my ass off at the beginning wtf. Great to see her 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.

[@joshw9736]

She is so bad ass and amazing. YOTK Forever.

[@ziggystardust3432]

So glad Madison is doing good.

[@MrMaccelinho]

WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS? sooo great to see her

[@x.BRAiNZ.x]

Big love!

[@justinbudach5008]

Love the Chelsea Wolfe shirt

[@KMKimo]

Damn she looks amazing! Bless

[@vincek6613]

She's so nice she genuinely answers Colins dumb questions

[@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.

[@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.

[@davidmesa3651]

20 mins in and I’ll already getting emotional.

[@zacharybean9191]

[@alexandriaveil2436]

#QUEENOFHARDCORE🖤

[@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

[@wttruax5816]

She is such a ray of sunshine

[@bigdavedta1]

Madison is an absolute legend.

[@CoffeeLyfe]

MADI FOREVER

[@abigbeautifultomorrow1026]

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

[@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!

[@Jondus850]

This was soooo cool to see!! YOTK 🫶

[@michalwitka9158]

stop cutting the fuckin onions, im dying over here.

[@therealcooterbrown]

YOTK FOREVER. Madi is a living legend.

[@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

[@misterjingles666]

How does this not have like 1 billion views.

[@wecomai]

Respect

[@anthonyletitin]

Colin is alarmingly flexible

[@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.

[@budrothefox3666]

Madi is a literal Angel.

[@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!!!!

[@_antisocial__]

Madi truly is Iron Woman yotk cannot be stopped

[@diazable]

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

[@KyleHarmer]

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

[@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

[@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 !

[@LILDIRTNAPX]

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

[@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!!!

[@sMoKEy131]

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

[@theaspiration]

Yep! Raisins are fuckin foul!

[@TheCollisionofworlds]

HELL YES

[@Prettyhatemachine23]

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

[@mycoachknowsthesheriff]

HARD LOOOOOORE

[@js6527]

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

[@x93tilinfinityx]

I fuck w Madi on the snack foods for movies.

[@fijixvx9042]

Feel like Colin is more of a head automatica guy idk. Sick as fuck to see Madi on hardlore!! Wish her and the YOTK camp all the best

[@ChainChomp122]

11:02 screaming crying throwing up everywhere

[@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.

[@vincek6613]

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

[@getdrippy4416]

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

[@gregbaffuto4370]

Heavier Than Heaven is such an important record. Their record release show in NYC was the day it came out. Fights during literally every band: a beatdown band, Verse (yes seriously), and then BL during Eye for an Eye.

[@andytuck99]

who up harding they lore rn?

[@Flacoisbored]

What a badass
