[@MegaThrasher95]

"Yep" -Ray Luzier

[@threedaysgrace4life502]

MegaThrasher95 true

[@DannyGadish]

Tyler Smash yeah, right right, yep

[@paranoid8657]

Where can I put my "laugh" reaction? 😂... this coment is very funny!

[@antonstefanov2146]

like for a moment a thought I was listening to Beavis and ButtHead

[@Palestina.non.grata86]

Two of the nicest blokes in metal. Ray, a phenomenal drummer, very fluid, and Charlie, my drumming hero and he's got solid chops. These guys are another two vertebrae in the heavy metal backbone!

[@jefbice3672]

I played with ray about 60 times in the middle 90`s when I was at GIT. He was effing awesome even then. When I saw he was playing with Korn I damn near fell out of my chair. Props to both of these guys.

[@StevePhillips76]

Listening to Charlie play, I can hear a guitar riff in my head, that makes a lot of sense when he said, “I’m a guitarist trapped in a drummers body”

[@eddiedean5047]

David Lee Roth impression-awesome

[@superjoint57]

It's really cool to have Ray out there in the music world and being from Pittsburgh. I live in Pittsburgh and first saw Ray with Army of Anyone at Rex Theatre! Can't wait to see him with Korn at Fort Rock in Ft. Myers on April 26th! Keep up the great work Ray and be safe out there on the Road!

[@mikenicholson1505]

Two killer drummers in one room having a great conversation. We need more!!!

[@daffyshakilfur3563]

I love Ray and follow everything he does. Anthrax never really caught my ear but I knew beyond a shadow of doubt they were real deal, just not my cup of tea. I have really started paying more attention to Charlie though. Great guy, seasoned drummer.

[@spykefl]

i love that he said.. im a guitar player trapped in a drummers body.. cause thats exactly how i feel. its so much easier to write music on guitar.. of course you can play a bunch of beats for 10 minutes and think you wrote something.. but to actually add melody and play guitar and know what you are gonna do drum wise.. is amazing!! thanks charlie for saying that

[@TheShreddDude]

Love Ray's Roth impression. Spot on

[@raygundesigns]

Both are such cool dudes.

[@ronnieotts]

lol. I love Ray's David Lee Roth impressions.

[@martianshoes]

This was so good, on a soul and chemical level...

[@mychaelcdsteele1970]

It's so cool to hear how they adapted being a drummer from their experiences

[@SleepFan771]

This is awesome! I wish there were a lot more of this series. I love both of these guys. Anthrax and Korn rock!

[@ahdbw8494]

This is awesome. I love Korn and Anthrax is probably my favorite. I love Charlie's drumming, and Ray is really good too. Great video!

[@stanky9875]

Charlie is the best thrash drummer ever.🤘🏼

[@Footy_Fan]

Two of my heroes right here. Man, I would be like a little kid if I was there. Ray is so dynamic and creative, and Charlie is so freaking fast, and a paragon of precision

[@paulmccartney4216]

Fascinating stuff from these two very respectful and awesome guys. Rock!!

[@roymartin500]

Charlie's a great guitar player/writer. He wrote most of Anthrax and SOD stuff

[@rogersanderscustoms8121]

The first time I heard Among The Living I was hooked. It changed my life. I only bought the vinyl because of the homage to Stephen King's The Stand.

[@underscoreisnotvalid]

this was suprisingly entertaining.. these two actually have good chemistry kinda, and being a drummer, i can relate to everything they're on about

[@saltykrug]

Love both of these guys, lots of character. I remember hearing Ray first time with Army of Anyone, his solo at the end of Goodbye. I was a fan right there. Charlie has done a great job all of these years with Anthrax, what else can you say? He's just killed it for a long time.

[@jeremybennett3104]

LOL! Ray's impersonation of Roth is hilarious.

[@larrytemp3063]

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME EVER HEARING RAY LUZIER SPEAK AND FINDING OUT HE'S 45 YRS OLD I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS SOME WHERE IN HIS EARLY TO MID TWENTIES WHAT A BIG SURPRISE

[@stevehumphrey667]

I love Charlie! Ray is new to me but I've heard him 3 or 4 times talking about drumming and I Fuckin love Korn! He seems to be awesome and I like him a lot!

[@jumpmanhat]

this was great, looking forward to more!

[@honestspirit56]

Some great guys there! And that’s some serious talent sitting in one room. Bless you guys….

[@mattmontalto7511]

Charlie rips and Korn is lucky to have Ray on drums he is a monster!!!

[@anahowana]

Fuse, this is fuckin AWESOME!! You are on the right track, plz keep doing the excellent work ! peace from Morocco

[@localmusiclover605]

I love listening to them talk about highschool band lol I'm in 10th grade right now and I play upright bass, I play drums and guitar aswell and love heavy music but I also really enjoy playing a variety of jazz.

[@kensnook]

For every two of you there are 1,000 of us...You both are super cool and I wish I could do what you do. Good job..Blizzard of OZ..and Ted

[@MrRamcam13]

Awesome! More please.

[@jackbruce8324]

Feel like ray was describing Phil Rudd from acdc when he was talking about a drummer that looked bored hahaha

[@Todesnuss]

Those two have great chemistry.

[@maverick_trail]

Ray's a pretty cool dude, great DLR impersonation.

[@xx7stringxx]

2 of my all time favorites, Lawrence Co PA's finest with Charlie Benante!!!!! I mean.. how cool.....

[@wallywalnuts12345]

these guys are awesome!

[@davidcurtis4478]

Awesome interview!! Two cool drummers! David Curtis

[@jwgmail]

It's so funny to hear Ray talk about writing songs as if it's a new experience for him. I've played for years, never been a session guy, and always felt like an intricate part of the song-writing process, and never felt pressure to match the bassist with the kick. It's just funny to hear someone so, so far beyond your level talk about something you do all the time and say how neat it is.

[@01theyounggun]

My right hand gets a lot of use - charlie benante

[@vitruviandrums]

I thought that too hahaha

[@paranoid8657]

Masturbing to killing myself, blasphemer!, blasphemer, BLASPHEMAAAAAA JAJAJAJAJAJ

[@DapperHesher]

Ray is a riot.

[@SICKYPOPP]

[@ChadEverhart01]

Dude. I Soooo wanna see all these part 2z... lol I am so loving these videos man-!!! where's all the part 2 ?? keep posting these types of shows.. METAL !!!

[@ejoyce98]

look in the description :)

[@ChadEverhart01]

Oh... lol my bad lol thank you

[@Fuse]

You can watch Part 2 here: Korn's Ray Luzier & Anthrax's Charlie Benante (Part 2) | Metalhead To Head kzbin.info/www/bejne/mni1eo2tqNeaoq8

[@renerd5155]

Les Claypool and Geddy lee

[@vilgotmillton1097]

That would make me moist

[@jwardbass4452]

I would break down into tears if this happened. Please make this happen, Fuse.

[@Dampzombieslayer]

Yes please, especially now

[@bigtrex76]

I saw primus open for rush around ‘92 on the roll the bones tour, i was 14-15....

[@arandommaggot4963]

How about Les and Flea?

[@megadeath098ajb]

this is so awesome. im having giggles

[@redpillmafia960]

Why didn't this video mention that Ray was also in Army of Anyone? A great super group!!

[@joshuagoonetileke1132]

Am I the only person who noticed Charlie's Lorde T-Shirt? hahahahaha

[@daddyosink4413]

Joshua Goonetileke I was kinda hoping it was a Kansas City shirt lol

[@dialedgolf]

DaddyO's Ink same!

[@TruckerMurph]

ray is such a cool cat

[@bryanotero1976]

great video

[@jgmopar]

Funny what Charlie says about being a guitar player trapped in a drummers body. I play guitar and always wrote riffs in bands I was in but I hear the drums before I hear the guitar. I am in my late 40's and said screw it I want to learn drums so in Feb. I started. I suck but I really enjoy playing drums and hope I can get good at them.

[@shawnhapney8784]

Good Rapport. Liked this vid a lot.

[@Amp1771]

Next one should be Dan Carey Tool and Jimmy Chamberlain Smashing Pumpkins

[@Palestina.non.grata86]

That would be awesome. I grew up with Smashing Pumpkins as a kid and I'm still blown away by Jimmy's drumming. Danny Carey is amazing. Proud to share my name with the guy!

[@daffyshakilfur3563]

You ain't lying.

[@nicleur6949]

At 4:20 he relays an anecdote and says he was "a huge fan of Charlie's" to Charlie as if he's speaking in the third person as if he forgot who he was talking to. That's fucking funny.

[@zanderkahres8112]

Imagine not listening S.O.D as one of Charlie’s bands

[@UsedPlacebo91]

Dude an episode with Tommy Lee and Lars Ulrich would be great

[@jwgmail]

either that's a really funny joke or we're on very different pages

[@ssteacup]

Lol

[@tonyponchopeters]

Both are influential beyond belief. I love that Charlie, Mike Portnoy etc... always are referencing Tommy Lee because he influenced so many drummers when Mtv began and his style made drummers seem cool with his twirls and his stick tricks etc. Drummers that can easily play 4/4 and Tommy's beats in their sleep, still respect him and love his style and give him his respect.

[@madanotsob]

Charlie is one of the best ever

[@VBshredder]

Wonder if Benante related to Vinnie on that chopper show? just noticed the resemblance!

[@revazascending1725]

Charlie is right. It is always the older siblings. My brother is the reason I started listening to metal. He introduced me to Anthrax and Charlie took it from there lol

[@danceofeternity3824]

Fuse Can you guys do a Mike Portnoy & Mike Mangini Metalhead to Head?

[@phantomofoaktown]

lol!

[@Dave-tc3dq]

danceofeternity3824 mike is one of my favorites,but i couldn't ever get into dream theater......i always would dig into the riffs but could never handle more than a song.....mike needed to get some straight metal/punk rooted guy's and go at it

[@avengedsoul6661]

“Yep.” - Ray Luzier

[@joseariza3385]

where's part 2 ...

[@WickedSativa869]

Charlie: 'The doctor had a hard time pulling me out "cause I wouldn't let go of the drum sticks.' 🤘

[@198krydstogt]

Coffee guys. Keeping the head straight :)

[@irocitZ]

Vince Neil's drummer has a lot of the flash they were talking about, I've never seen anyone as flashy a player until I saw Zoltan Chaney live. He does stuff I've never seen before, that's what makes him fun to watch.

[@lordberly]

Charlie looks like Spanish footballer David Villa

[@roliesboyd5872]

interesting chat.. sorry my english not to good

[@midibenni]

Charlie Benante !!!!!!!!!

[@zaccooke6963]

Charlie benante Fucking A first guy ever to hit 230bpm on the double bass and Ray luzier one of the best groovers in music today...

[@jomama9445]

KXM...🤘

[@adrianlewis9645]

ryan martinie and fieldy

[@scott12at]

and on that day a bromance was formed

[@SChamberlain1978]

“Yep...yeah...yep” Ray sounds like the “yep yep” muppets.

[@EyeofaMadman]

Genius'

[@pittypaws6633]

Am I the only one who noticed where Charlie placed his drumsticks?

[@nickbjerga9554]

Fieldy and Alex webster. Just to see how someone who hardly plays bass stands up to a bass master.

[@richiekorn1236]

fieldys got his own style..as oppose to all others..now i aint biggin fieldy up because both of them suck along with all others compared to les claypool

[@obscuredvisions8835]

You're propping a bass master versus someone who entirely relies on his own technique lol

[@briancook3923]

I get what you're saying but Fieldy can actually play. However, Alex Webster is a peer of Cliff Burton.

[@Trendkill213]

Dude Alex Webster is the Les Claypool of death metal the guy knows his instrument backwards and forwards. I’m not trying to slam on another musician but I think if you let Fieldy try to play a Cannibal Corpse song I not so sure he could do it at least not without some practice.

[@travisspaulding9540]

Trendkill213 “not without Practice” are you stupid ? It’s not like that’s his band, of course he’d have to practice it first.

[@MarkLangdahl]

If it's head to head, shouldn't it have been Brian?

[@KKplaysit]

7:03 funny as fuck.

[@sonortubelug3853]

Ray always looks like he's had a cheeky key in the toilets.

[@amandagarcia3383]

We got smoke machine now?

[@MeshuggahFan-iy6tb]

4:59

[@ThrashRebel]

That bored look: Charlie Watts

[@geddyleesowlnose]

Lol “you can steal our records”

[@williamdawson4023]

I air drummed fr the better part of 2 years and then I got a kit

[@desert_iron_123]

Ray sounds like he isn’t interested in the first 40. Seconds lmao

[@avengedsoul6661]

My favourite part is when Ray said “yep”.

[@Deetroiter]

311’s p-nut and Limp Bizkit’s Sam Rivers

[@6672rock]

Next drummer head to head should be Carmine Appice with Joey Jordison.

[@dailyward3146]

Jay Weinberg and Joey Jordison

[@lisamitchell7933]

RIP JOEY

[@TheWarDog11]

Marco Minneman & Tommy Lee Or Tommy Lee And Charlie Benante

[@beetlesazer]

+TheWarDog11 Portnoy vs. Benante that will be a great battle

[@TheWarDog11]

Barry Dompor Holy Crap, that would be amazing

[@GoatMee]

Get Steve Vai and Devin Townsend together!

[@culodegrasa]

Charlie just kicks Ray ass lol

[@TonisTerrors]

Ray reminds me of Roddy piper sorta

[@rodboudreau3982]

16mins straight and neither guy touches the practice pad.

[@damianciupinski2614]

haha seriously

[@fruitystrebles9053]

Ray looks like Johnny Depp

[@raideroutlaw2489]

I was thinking a little Jermey renner

[@GodWeenSatan]

More like the geek kid in road trip

[@jaliscopunx2400]

MetalLover no he doesnt

[@zeppelinfan82]

Seems like Ray is scared of Charlie,lol... "yep,yep,yep,yep"

[@serhiih.7055]

this tinny mustache >_>

[@bassandfuzz]

ray is like a white eric andre

[@bluddyguy]

Ray said he was basically self-taught, then talks about his lessons with Joe Porcaro. Hmmm.

[@JazzyJonas]

Drummers all seem to age well.
