Matt Pike is so chill. I met him for a second at the coffee shop I worked. He puts milk in his coffee which I didn't think was very metal for him, until I remembered he's Matt Pike, therefore anything he does is metal.

[@KevinUchihaOG]

personally i think it's more unmetal to worry about other people thinking the stuff you do is unmetal. If you like milk in your coffee then fucking drown that coffee in milk.

[@MysticAustin]

@@KevinUchihaOG I met him outside of a High On Fire show in LA about a decade ago. He asked us if he could hit my friends joint, and then just walked back inside with it, haha

I also met him at a bar down in Nashville that was nearly abandoned. I actually didn't recognize him, it was just me and my two buddies in the bar and then he and Sleep. We bonded over having the same credit card, he was really chill and a nice guy.

[@louderthangod]

I've said it before but Matt Pike needs his own show on Vice or Adult Swim where he can go off on whatever topic he wants to, bring in bands or talk about lizard people. It would be insanely entertaining.

[@Intaminator]

He's like an enjoyable version of Alex Jones.

[@Lavabug]

He can bring in the guys from Blood Incantation, who are also into lizard people and ancient aliens. It would be insanity.
