*Coal Chamber* was one of the first bands that made me interested in *"NU Metal"* back in its prime days.

[@thirdgen377]

Same. They opened up the doors for sure. And I was so happy when I learned that Dez started a band called DevilDriver, they've achieved great success since 2007 and are just about, or just did drop a new album this year.

[@heavengiven1111]

The best Nu Metal band

[@djinn66]

One of the few Nu Metal bands I like

[@BUTT-HEAD666]

this is great information I really miss Coal chamber I wish they were still together

[@leadme2thebliss21]

I think they are talking about reuniting again soon! Dez seems optimistic about the idea!

[@BUTT-HEAD666]

@@leadme2thebliss21 I like that idea another Coal Chamber reunion and a new album would be amazing

[@alsybroth]

@@leadme2thebliss21 There is no news on that at all. Coal Chamber is pretty much finished, and good riddance. They were pretty much the quintessential example of generic, unambitious, lazily compositioned nu metal.

[@leadme2thebliss21]

@@alsybroth Have you saw them live before though? They used to be such an incredible live band! I saw them live twice in the early 2000s and they were brilliant live! Every nu metal fan should see them live they would love it!

[@leadme2thebliss21]

@@BUTT-HEAD666 I actually think Rivals is their best album. I would definitely love to see them release at least one more new album.

[@jordanstuteville9154]

Saw them on Dark Days tour before they split. They were cool, Migs was just looking down back then, Dez was telling him they should hang out and go to Star Wars Clone Wars, which was in theaters then. They all hung out and signed shit for hours with their fans. First time I shook Dez' hand. Met him three times in my life.

[@ChairmanPaulieD]

Well ain’t special Mr. Potato Pants 🤭🥹😅😂

[@thesenate4570]

Theyre last album showed such great potential and now with all these other bands like static x, mudvayne all coming back. It wouldve been a helluva tour

[@andypostema4269]

Well, now Coal Chamber is back and opening for Mudvayne so you definitely got what you wanted.

[@vhsqueen]

Saw them yesterday, GWAR, Coal Chamber, and Mudvayne all fucking killed it!!

[@SJRenkola]

I definitely prefer Coal Chamber to Devildriver.

[@ms13626]

Gotta love them both.

[@TheMetalAllfather]

I love both. Dez is a killer vocalist.

[@sharamichaelson6118]

@@irishmetalfan that's not even remotely true

[@mlody969]

Too bad. Devildriver is musicially in much better level.

[@sharamichaelson6118]

[@roberthuston5524]

Saw Coal Chamber recently and they still fuckin bring it- such a good show

[@tHEdANKcRUSADER]

So glad to have recently seen Coal Chamber live 🤙 now

[@bertvsrob]

discovered coalchamber at 11 - changed my life

[@snailcorepistolwhippits9488]

Meegs be looking like Dave Grohl lol

[@mileswillis9020]

Lmaoo

[@charityproctor627]

I thought that as well!! Lol. Like if you just take a quick glimpse.

[@j3tskr3vm96]

LOL

[@moshchenskij]

No, just Mathew Broderick with long hair 😄

[@guyincognito143]

What?

[@nicholaslitrento4043]

I have a HUGE coal chamber chamber music logo on my back " don't be afraid to be different" wish they were still around like korn and Deftones

[@ManyLegions88]

For sure 💯 But everything must end.

[@Ed-zb4ij]

They’re back together! 2023!!!

[@jakeryder5264]

Your wish is granted im seeing them with mudvayne in july still cant believe it

[@unreal1066]

I've always wanted to know why the LA nu metal scene had such a dress and hair style. Was it a hangover from the hair metal bands like Motley Crue. The photos from System of a down, Coal chamber etc. The band members of LA bands often had fishnet tops, multicoloured hair bondage gear etc. where did that come from? The look became a signature of NU metal. #garzapodcastclips #coalchamber

[@perunlowtuned]

Nu metal bands never dressed like hair metal bands.

[@theblah12]

It was mostly synonymous with what people call “mall goth” now - that sort of gothy, vaguely metal look that was pretty popular in the 2000’s. Think fishnets, band shirts, Tripp Pants, New Rock Boots, Matrix-style leather trench coats etc. A real mis-mash of inspirations made accessible through Hot Topic and online retail.

[@thosemonsters]

It came from rich kids ripping off the style of poor street kids and making it into a mall goth trend.

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

Yeah but it’s so hard to do that when you’re constantly around each other.

[@spikejames4995]

Wait garza has a show?? Wtf what am i missing

[@sasquatl]

They're better than Devildriver that's for sure

[@ManyLegions88]

Ehh, that's an asshole comment lol. W/e

[@andysalter7192]

Oh god no !!! The last kind words album is better then anything by any Nu Metal band. That album is a banger.

[@Maniacsface]

No way. Coal never had pits like devil. Coal was good for that short time.

[@Greg-rv5vm]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JanoyCresva]

You can tell Garza wants to ask him stuff but just cant spit it out and it makes for these awkward pauses. JUST ASK! Its your show!

[@christopherbako]

They Created. Something that's killer to...be on a bus in San Francisco going to work.

[@rocksmonsterriffs]

Dude is that a 7 string Strat

[@jlwzqw2008]

I was trying to figure that out too

[@ak147sniper3]

Why is Meegs looking like David Ghohl? Coal Fighters or Foo Chamber.

[@jaynafutch5000]

Garza pounding some nose beers???

[@jlwzqw2008]

Call me dumb but I can’t help but try to figure out is that a 7 string fender?

[@adambomb138]

Well Dumb, yes it is!

[@StormWatcher313]

Hung out with all the Coal Chamber Seven dust and PM5k dudes in Detroit another lifetime ago. All very nice people. Plus Loco. Loco rulez

[@adrianm4848]

What ever happened to Mike the drummer?

[@claudiasolomon1123]

@@chestyvulva drummer. Construction. This guy loves to hit & bang on things for a living.

He hit his snare so hard he opened a portal to an alternate dimension and vanished. Seriously, listen to him live. Sasquatch would be like, dude, chill. Such a beast.

[@MrParkerman6]

Mike and Rayna became Hermits- Never to be seen or heard from again!

[@upnorthvlogs]

And now there back we need coal chamber that’s like no KoRn without Jon

[@user-op2xf3md3m]

Both bands are good but yeah they stepped up with Korn but too much partying catches up with you not for a day for rest of your life I'm just I got a second chance and Coal chamber kept me out of trouble and devil driver is a pretty decent band but loco will be stuck in your head for life I like the song sail it's fun to play on guitar

[@thirdgen377]

Anybody else become dumbfounded seeing Dez Fafara so young?

[@gunjac86]

My biggest regret with Coal Chamber was listening to Coal Chamber.

[@StormWatcher313]

Where the fuck is Rayna?

[@curtishouseman9542]

She settled down and turned her life to christ from what I read. Probably never see or hear from her again

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

She was absolutely smokin’ back when she was in the band.

[@TheMetalAllfather]

She married Morgan Rose in like 2000, left Coal Chamber after _Chamber Music,_ and became a mom three times over, and born again Christian. Last I heard she doesn't play music anymore.

[@NatalieJadeBloom]

Running a horse farm in Montana last I heard.

[@falcoretheminiluckdragon3060]

Really? What kinda fan are you, she married 7dusts drummer and helped break the band up in 2002
