Hollywood Undead Interviewed by Sweetwater

Mitch Gallagher sits down with Charlie, Johnny, and J-Dog from Hollywood Undead. On tour in the USA and then Europe, they were kind enough to stop by Sweetwater to check out our facility and join us for this interview.

[@trevorstockton2516]

This guy knows how to do a proper interview. He actually does a lot of research on all the bands he interviews

[@gin9ernut]

Yet (if I'm not mistaken) he got Charlie and jonny mixed up

[@dxgdxn131]

​@@gin9ernut I think that might have just been him mixing up the ordering of his words rather than actually thinking Johnny was Charlie or vice versa.

[@seairalinne2637]

They should have WAY more fans. There extremely amazing!!

[@bmusicforyou80]

i saw them live 4 days ago and became an instant super fan, they are absolutely amazing

[@davidnissim589]

they've been getting a lot of new fans lately because of TikTok

[@alyssawilliams7084]

Like this if you guys noticed he called Johnny Charlie, and Charlie Johnny...

[@boarder55535]

The best part of Hollywood undead is the huge variety on the songs. Love the mix of softer songs, harder songs, and hip hop type on music

[@xazrith6139]

I like Hollywood Undead and all of their songs

[@xsoldier32]

Same

[@Law10205]

Agreed

[@josephbatch2318]

Best HU interview I've seen. Well done

[@sweetwater]

Thank you for watching, Joseph! 🤘

[@ahhwe-any7434]

I don't understand why they mean. Are they so far up there in their heads, they think their everything will be for everyone? I mean, I wouldn't go somewhere & go into full detail about why I don't like something. I might simply say I don't like it. But it's rare. Like, I don't like post Malone's face tats. But I see it as if he was a buddy of mine, would I say that to his face? Yeah, bc he's my buddy & don't want him to go out looking like a fool & I know he'll get sh for it. Which he does. But good thing he's a rapper & he can do that. But it's his face, not mine. I know that's a little different but it's still his art, the way he expressed himself. Do some musicians not remember when they were fans? Did they like every song by every artist they listened to? And what if that artist was like, "well do you play? Are you famous? No? Then your opinion isn't valid." & They.Were.a.fan. wow, crushed. Your own fans can't have an opinion w/out you being a douche? Those same fans that support you & made you big? The ones who kinda put you on blast & helped you w/ more exposure? Those opinions don't count? Replace Malone w/ Danny btw. Maybe that's not a good ex. Here, ex:I like Linkin Park. I grew up listening to them. I know songs here & there throughout their times. Throughout their experimental switch ups.& I can deal w/ switch ups. My taste is all over anyway. I have two shirts of theirs. But do I know every song they've ever made & love it? Follow them around the world? See em every time they're in my state? Nope. I don't socialize that much outside of work, but I mean, -life. Was I supposed to be that obsessed, then only would I be considered a "true fan?" Define true fan... Also, once my comment got deleted on a Hollywood undead video bc I didn't think they completely wrote a song by themselves. The credits literally said they didn't. Why would they even get mad about that? Edit: I now realized I commented on this twice. Bc I Didn't realize I already saw it :/. Can't help it if yt likes to contiously recycle things I've already watched.

[@Finalflash50]

this is without a doubt the best interviewer Hollywood Undead has ever talked to, it's a god damn treat to listen to, and a breathe of fresh air from all those other interviewers that ask the most generic questions that they've answered millions of times. this guy is actually going into specific details about how their sound has evolved and asking questions that you'd only have if you had an actual appreciation for the band you're talking to.

[@5150cl]

They all look like different versions of the same person

[@kappachino2569]

Sunglasses are peculiar, indeed

[@thanrl]

lmao

[@random-asscomments9097]

When you choose the same character in Mortal Kombat.

[@x-Line6]

Money change people. H.U was a lot better with Deuce. Im not a fan anymore of this band. Im focusing on From Ashes to New.

[@vanillacrash2584]

Jacket, shoes, hat, sunglasses.

[@UpstateRemy]

Favorite Line from Hollywood Undead J-Dog Quote from 2017 "You gotta draw the line though because if you listen to like managers or like other labels or whatever, there like "You guys need to be posting everyday like post about yourselfs" , like i'm not a reality star. I don't need to tell people what I had for breakfast. I'm a musician."

[@UpstateRemy]

I felt this so hard..

[@NightcoreHagan]

I've been listening to Hollywood Undead since 2010 and I love every song these guys make I've been listening to them for 10 years and I'm positive that I ain't gonna stop any time soon

[@StarB0rne]

you still listening?

[@VinceeWilliamsMagic]

I used to jam HU in like 2005 but out grew them after American Tragedy. I feel like that was their last HU type vibe. This new HU is okay but it just doesn't hit them same.

[@johnnyegboi8274]

I’ve noticed that J3T seems to not be able to sit still whereas Charlie seems really chill and laid back while J-Dog seemed more professional than the other two.

[@random_emo_kid3227]

Johnny Egboi Johnny probably has adhd I have it and do the same

[@jewelrunner8618]

Johnny is a coke head, coke heads don't like being still

Great Interview, good questioning by the interviewer, fantastic band. Looking forward seeing you guys in Munich.

[@amberrey1145]

I feel like a proud mother. So proud of em

[@civcom12]

Amber Reyes Same I remember when I was listening to the kids and Christmas in Hollywood 😂

[@iqminys3004]

why without danny&funny man all time?

[@random-asscomments9097]

I think Danny doesn't like interviews, if you look at the ones with Danny you'll notice he's really serious.

[@thegoldencross2004]

random-ass comments right like when I was watching an interview when they were live and they all had their notes from the underground masks he was serverly serious

[@Law10205]

@Hannah Hampton yeah I don't think they like interviews cuz I just watched an interview that was Johnny, Charlie, and j-dog, and now I'm watching one that's the same thing so yeah

[@davidnissim589]

they aren't big on interviews

[@FelixR17]

Johnny’s foot is the real MVP of this interview.

[@thephenomenalpounslayer4122]

This guy was awesome

[@JohnSmith-xl4lq]

These guys are so amazingly talented at all aspects of making an performing their music ive seen them live 3 times an i just cant get enough one of the best bands around to see live you really dont get a good idea of how great they are until you see them in person love these guys lime no other hope they come back around again they just keep getting better every new album

[@justafaceinaseaofmillions]

Omg what a good interview one of the best of them

[@rexlapistxted]

Yeah, it'd be boring if they wrote another album similar to one like before. The most famous one to be rewritten is Swan Songs: it wouldn't be surprising if they made another album like that, just deal with the music change. I love Hollywood Undead, and Five is such a great album 💘🙏💘

[@chrissetser4817]

they wont they dont have deuce the reason that album did so well was cuz deuce wrote most of the songs lol

[@randomweeb9179]

Johnny 3 Tears personally Five is my favorite album, though I love all the songs.

[@kevinclark9163]

I love this band because every song is different.

[@nielsmeijer6698]

What a great interview. Finally some questions that are interesting. We don't learn anything about the artists we like by knowing how their tour went like normal interviewers usually ask about.

[@bmxb4586]

I used to be a huge Hollywood Undead fan in the late 2000's early 2010's.. so weird seeing them in an interview without the masks.

[@VinceeWilliamsMagic]

Was JUST thinking that. It's unfortunate.

[@Law10205]

Omg, j-dog's voice cracks so much

[@arsehole5795]

Lol yeah

[@ajhowl151]

I think it's because he's usually the one that does the screaming in the songs, it might be, it might not be

[@idontcare9537]

I think it adds more to live shows though, so say if he's doing his verse that is quite aggressive or really sensitive it kind of makes it sound more meaningful if that makes sense

[@taylorzonly]

I thought their best album was American Tragedy based on creativity, lyrics and success, but the only problem was it was boring at times because they just weren’t as good then as they are now at flow switching and just flowing in general. If they were to make a new version of an old album I’d say that one. I don’t mind the poppy sound as long as it’s done well. They did it well but they’re so much better now so it’d be interesting to hear.

[@numetalkitty]

Really inspiring interview

[@shiannemattson7158]

I love you guys! All your music is awesome! J3T you are my god 💙💙💙💙

[@13illyxmaze]

Nothing but respect for the interviewer.

[@SavitTheGoalie]

This is there best interview imo

[@Lea-hh2wh]

Has he mistaken Charlie and Johnny at the beginning?

[@synovitala7556]

Yeah, he did

[@scorchedrosearts7821]

I love your band, but I ESPECIALLY love your new record.

[@jayessemar]

bro i jus love they music T^T

[@bhdschildsupport5358]

Johnny’s my favorite I wanna get my picture taken with him

Great interview! I was going to see them in Fort Wayne but couldn't get off work early. It's a 3 hour drive lol

[@robertknight2615]

i wouldve quit

[@brybry7341]

[@andrewhannigan931]

"Strategically placed songs" *looks at notes from the underground*

Nice to hear your voices after all this time im a accequantence

[@kalebsleezer6702]

These guys are still dope as shit. Keep it up

[@Catfishboy2014.]

He did seem into the process. The guy likes his employment.

[@brigspearman2171]

This is a good point yeah I agree

[@roralyn]

Every single time I hear them say they play with In This Moment my heart sours because bitch, these are my two favourite bands!

Lol that was like 9 or 8 years ago get over it

[@fps3xperts910]

Where’s funny man???

[@ahhwe-any7434]

I dont get how they put themselves out there but dont like constructive criticism. Like, i know sh hurts ppls feelings but have they not built a thicker skin by now? I know i dont just outright say sh like ure such a loser & you suck type sh. Like, some songs, i just dont vibe with.I know they didnt ask but then again, they put themselves out there. To be heard... im really not trying to be a smartass, & be all annoying & sh but this is a general thing. Musician or not. Everyone isnt always gonna like you. & Or in their case, all their songs. I am pretty miserable, but a lot of ppl r completely capable of being miserable too. You know? Like maybe im that one commenter... :/. Its not out of jealousy, insecurity, hating, some overcompensation type thing. I dont make music, i dont plan on it. But im not envious. Id h8 to be famous... id just want to be famous for the money but w/out the attention. But im pretty sure that, thats not how things work. But am i not allowed to have an opinion? No? Ok.... like, they cant seriously look back and think sh like yep, that pigskin song? Thats so deep bruh. Such massive appeal... i know all the girlies will like it! So profound! Thats gonna be the one that lingers, sticks around in ppls heads & hearts for yrs to come.... & that lion song? I still think it sounds like a creeper. I Know Its Not about a peeping tom. It just Sounds like it. So if i like some of their other songs, havent heard of all them tho, am i not a "real fan?" I didnt realize they were that sensitive. But i dont really go around all their songs making rude comments either. Sh more along the lines of what i just typed. At least in my mind, i dont think im being rude... :/.

[@random-asscomments9097]

Dude, what? I'm trying to read your essay but it's all over the place.
