The Heaviest Podcast of All Time

[@tonjiro86]

This is the most I've seen Yavid or Eugene open up in an interview. Good stuff.

[@JosephRivera588]

King 810 is so different but i dig tf outta them. So much raw emotion in their lyrics. David really is a tortured genius

[@avocadotron]

This is prob the most intersting interview I've watched on here and learn from, King 810 is an awesome band.

[@mortadella1234]

I discovered "King 810" by doing a stupid game I came up with when I get bored from the music I listen to. I request "Siri" to play songs on Spotify by saying random words with no sense. During one of those attempts, "Alpha and Omega" played..... I said WTH!!! THIS IS AWESOME! Since then, not one day goes by without listening to at least one song from "King 810". 🤘🤘🏏

[@nickcross7406]

It's crazy how well spoken and intelligent David is. And watch Eugene when David is talking he just looks at him and listens it's super respectful I can't imagine all the Shit these two have went through together

[@joshv9295]

Dude you ain’t lying… listening to him he’s so much further along his human journey than most people can ever hope to be. 🤘

[@jstape740]

Idk what type of ppl you hang.around but.when somebody speaks its normal to listen to what they are saying and look at them.. David just seems like a man of average intelligence.. He didn't say anything very intelligent? But compared to some idiots he probably seems like a genius

[@iamwillferal]

lol, Yavid is extremely intelligent. If you sat down with him in person you wouldn’t be able to participate in the same conversation because he’s on a different level than you. He’s a fucking artist not an intellectual. He’s not trying to impress you with words jstrap. Yavid is well educated. He’s from the hood. He looks and talks a certain way. He doesn’t give a fuck. He’s not trying to impress you or anyone else. But you couldn’t hang jstrap, not mentally or physically

[@depiction3435]

LMFAO

[@Anubis_-_]

The stories about David chilling outside the school and the Kmart robbery were hilarious

[@kevinrutkowski3034]

Never clicked on a Garza podcast faster in my life! Great episode!!!!

[@jessickalush3305]

Same! I just saw this in my feed

[@BEN_IN_MONO]

This pod rly does get guests I wana hear from. Good shit always and much love every1

[@ExpectNoMercy360]

This was a rare one. A lot of wisdom and things to reflect on when it comes to life.

[@burnbrutal]

Greatest interview done with this genius underrated band.

[@Grimcreeper134]

Love to see Garza cover some more controversial bands. King is still one of my favs.

[@PapaPremo]

awesome pod sorry i took so long to find u haha but all things king get recommended to me. legendary

[@iiitzHimmy]

Garza….thanks for the letting the guests actually talk. So many interviewers cut them off and it’s so annoying. So thank you for doing that.

[@AmyKu-bg6uq]

David is very well spoken a lot of things he said really resonate. Garza and David are also instrospective which made for another great interview. 💥

[@gretelsgooch1676]

Super excited for this one

[@Jay-vv3lg]

Awesome interview! I really like the depth to which this displays the intersecting paths of the circumstances of their physical reality and an evolving creative flow.

[@lefttosuffer]

Our boys 🤝🏼

[@Truedeftone]

Seeing you both in 2014 at Mayhem fest was amazing

[@charleschi843]

Maynard James Keenan and David Gunn simply fascinate me. Artists who truly don't want the spotlight, but they love the outlet.

[@Riddlein.Mp3]

Hell yeah Garza! Love king, so sick!

[@HoshiFanatic]

I've been jaming them since 2014. I went on my first tour with my band in 2015 all through the east coast. I'm confident King was one of the influences that gave me that energy to bust ass and land a tour and get the band going. Of course we crashed and burned but I'm not giving up lol.

[@donniewiggs8749]

What band are you in? Can I hear your music

[@MastaShreddah3621]

Right on! Don't give up!😄👍

[@razorrawb]

i knew seeing king 810 open for slipknot that they were something special and authentic. this band gives me feelings that 1st hearing cradle of filth or marilyn manson gave me! also being that half my family came from michigan, i got right away where they were coming from!!! also my bud from here in texas jams with em! so there is that too!!!! good stuff garza!!!

[@GPin3D]

I grew up in Mid-Michigan and caught these dudes live several times around the state in the late 00's, early 10's. They were signed to Roadrunner shortly after I moved south. Trust me, these dudes are 'LEGIT' and everyone knew to either respect them or fuck around and find out. That having been said, they were cool as hell just like this, in my personal experience. They'd simply treat you as you treated them. Good times and great conversations. I'm super proud of them and am always looking forward to what they'll do next.

[@paddythetangs]

About time these under rated beasts get on a decent podcast 👏

[@spidermountainman]

Amazing self awareness and truth mind... a lot of Tao Knowledge on this soul. Thank you for sharing that...

[@emptyinsiderecords]

Goddamn I love King 810! They should be bigger but artistic n financial freedom is a valid trade-off.

[@nathanfranklin8657]

This episode was so very beautiful and a work of art. Basically, an aesthetic experience par excellence.

[@helmut3187]

The he first time I listened to King was when they were touring with Slipknot, what a band dude, what a voice I love them, they are so talented and different

[@zekejohnson5752]

Badass podcast.Just started listening to this band. Great stuff. Seen Jack off Jill in 1997 in Austin tx. Met Daisy Berkowitz from Marilyn Manson playing guitar for them

[@milkjuice744]

Good shit

[@9ui7ar9uru]

Hell yeah, huge fan of King. This is awesome

[@CassandraAdams-zv5gl]

These guys are crazy. Love it.

[@THEMOTOCROSSGRAVEYARD]

FLINT BABY!!

[@barbaricbeing333]

i remember seeing them back when the guitar player of chiodos was in the band, at a venue called Station 4, it was the most violent crushing concert i think I've ever been in the presence of, still to this day.

[@barbaricbeing333]

it was before they tagged 810 on the name KING

[@jacobtinucci2642]

Station 4 in St. Paul?

[@barbaricbeing333]

@@jacobtinucci2642 that’s the one!

@@jacobtinucci2642 that’s the one!

[@iamwillferal]

Yup. I don’t think a lot of people know they were KING

[@danson1992]

Yoooo was that a new intro or am I trippin? Either way it’s sick 😂

[@Dontreadme]

King 810 deserves so much!

[@darthpaul490]

Went to see these guys on the thekla boat in Bristol...amazing night, then took my son to his first gig...slipknot korn and king810

[@iamwillferal]

I wish Yavid would do a fucking podcast. He doesn’t even need to be a rockstar he’s just fun to listen to. If Yavid started a pod and actually took it seriously it would be the next JRE in his own way

[@tonjiro86]

He did one for a little while called the " Gunncast".....I think the episodes are still on KZbin.....anyway check it out

[@ZedMx325]

Love King 🤴 ❤️. Such an incredibly creative band, most people probably wouldn't have a clue about much variety there is in their music. Check the Queen EP for an example, all songs dedicated to women and plenty of love songs written on piano etc.

[@bobrathegoat7277]

Young me went to dates on the mayhem fest and Korn and Slipknot tour, didnt see King at mayhem. Missed their set for the Korn and Slipknot show. Old me is kicking myself in the ass.

[@drawingsofthedead8108]

I'd really like to see Dickie Allen on the podcast I'm surprised he hasn't been on here yet bro is a legend

[@themzbonez14]

Yavid is trying so hard not to laugh or show happy emotions in this whole pod

[@radtothebone23]

Bro summed up my life in the begining lol feeling alone but its your own doing

[@Rob_Cary]

I havent heard anything from this band that I've been able to grasp onto. YET. I've only heard a couple songs. I'm not much of a nu metaller. The calm and articulated voice talking about some of the shit these two are talking about could honestly work as spoken word samples in some intense deathcore music. We went down a path on this episode, I was locked in.

[@helmut3187]

I’m wondering what is his rituals to record 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@iamwillferal]

He takes three steps forward, one to the left. One to the right, three steps back, then he lights a candle, takes one bite of non binary energy, but doesn’t chew it, so the energy doesn’t get offended. He waits till it’s properly absorbed and then hits record.

[@MrBobbit666]

yes these guys are sic! thank you

[@LP-ec7hw]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥

[@Chief_kweef2001]

Let’s fuckin go🤘 I was just wondering when these guys were gonna be on. One of the few podcasts I watch. These guys are underrated

[@poqou947]

You should have the band Distartica on the podcast, they are a thrash metal band and the lead singer is also the drummer and he's also blind

[@ericbasora4697]

Respect and blessings

It’s that hive mind 🥰♥️🐝

[@donniewiggs8749]

I want to know who Michelle is lol. I love learning about king 810

[@filooo789]

Thank you Garza for this ep. KING is love

[@rawdawgg_]

Did we ever find out where homie was when they would ride??

[@NancySkavarc]

10:50 💯

[@SoreTvGamer]

David, thank you for putting yourself out there. I found you during a point in my life where there was so much fear and pain. You motivated me to fight through it, overcome what felt impossible, hold my loved ones tighter, focus on what i had to do to get better, and slay my own Goliath’s. Your spirit vibrated the tiny embers in my inner core and over time my heart became a fire hazard. I can’t fathom my life without you. Same goes for Jonathan Davis and Corey Taylor. You three are everything man. My tri force in Zelda. 🤘🫶

[@capitolc4430]

YUP SURVIVOR GUILT IS REAL IM FROM BAY CITY 45 MINS NORTH OF FLINT & LOST & AM STILL LOOSIN WAY 2 MANY🙏☮️♥️✝️ & YEAH I GET DOWNLOADS OF LYRICS & IM A LIL BIT PSYCHIC ITS SHOCKING🤯 #MERKMITTEN

[@patrykj547]

Why David sounds like Joe Rogan lol

[@lightheadedman2]

When David says he knows he was “ supposed to rock be on stage and play with bands” sounds like a very jack black think to say and it’s weird because David is being dead serious

[@amandas8621]

David Gunn is a literal genius. and he could be a therapist, life coach, anything he wants.

[@sepenti]

First thing I notice is that Jack Off Jill shirt! Fuck yeah!

[@sepenti]

This interview was incredible! So chill & insightful. I was hoping to see them in Memphis but the show was cancelled. Hopefully they will come back around soon!

[@Duane-ih6he]

Why isn't glow the whyat sicks theme

[@donniewiggs8749]

I know what yavid is talking about. I was in this business.

[@donniewiggs8749]

15 people in a bus lol i had 4 here they left me

[@tedzagaro]

Just skipped over Anachronism like it was nothing yet it was the best thing this band ever did. The guitarist from Chiodos, that was in King at the time, most likely wrote the whole thing. Strange.

[@donniewiggs8749]

Straight edge do cm punk intro song

[@pollyanna147]

Played with them at the Modern exchange when Jason from Chiodos was with them....Liferuiner/Dr acula tour..I think 2008. Band was nothing like this. Don't remember any of these dudes.

[@filooo789]

These two dudes are only OG members so you prolly was drunk af

Seems like a bully without a fight game

[@johnthompson6689]

God bless Garza for having chapters on these videos, there's no way I could listen to this dude ramble on about a bunch of bullshit

[@Bubbles10181]

I am so happy someone said it. He is taking little jabs at garza, and garza is man enough to just let him talk. Suicide silence will go down in music history and will be in the rock and roll hall of fame one day. These dudes will still be trying to make people think they are really tough. Garza is a humble man. Sorry for the rant.

[@CrazyEyezdotpng]

​@@Bubbles10181 Where??? I didn't see that at all??

[@themzbonez14]

If you’re not familiar with the background of King, they came up from a very harsh past in Flint Michigan. David has been stabbed three times, shot at numerously and shot back numerously, and done some grimy shit. He bled all his feelings from that in his music so that’s why King is considered a very real band. They’re not posing anything or just acting tough. They’ve actually seen shit and done shit. Feel me?

[@johnthompson6689]

@themzbonez14 just because you've been almost murdered it doesn't make everything you have to say interesting or your music good.

[@AltnHorde]

Must be like the biblical times in Flint. When only one person in the city could read so they think he's a god.

[@joshv9295]

What’s crazy is… I’m from the dirty South and I know exactly what he’s talking about and having to have spidey senses locked in at all times or there’s consequences.

[@AltnHorde]

that common sense is a crazy thing to experience, ain't it. LOL

[@joshv9295]

@@AltnHordeIt pisses me off bc my girl and little one pay little to zero attention to anything going on around them and then I tell them “hey, get caught with your doors unlocked or let some dude slip up the car on the passenger side bc your on your damn phone or something” bc that shit just happened here last month. Thankfully the guy in the car had a long distance hole puncher on him but that shit happens way too much around here. 😂🤷‍♂️
