man Bazan is just so wise and grounded about his music, could listen to him talk about his stuff for hours

[@Atticus_Moore]

Its so comforting to know that these songwriters experience the same problems that I experience more or less. Its so easy to get caught up in your own head and think you can't do it, but that's a universal thing that we all struggle with, and most of the time all you can do about it is to let go and see what happens

[@HexKittenGrave]

I love feeling like a fly on the wall listening to really interesting people engage. It's like sitting in a cafe, waiting for your day to start and overhearing a conversation next to you. I desprately want to jump into it and ask questions, but I don't know why! I'm not a musician, but I feel like these conversations are universal truths that can apply to anything a person is passionate about.

[@morganhymancomedy]

Thanks for having Dave on! He's one of my favorite artists of all time. I saw you guys play together in Albuquerque around 2011 at the Sunshine Theater, I believe. Oddly enough, the same friend turned me on to both Jimmy Eat World and Pedro the Lion around 20 years ago. I'll be forever in his debt.

[@JesseNorellMusic]

Oh my goodness, just when I thought this series couldn't get any better... David Freaking Bazan!

[@joshmann395]

I love this. Bazan is my spirit animal.

[@1928zxcv]

I’m just here for Jim’s impromptu Fender ads 😆

[@HubLocationSound]

I would absolutely listen to a weekly podcast with you and Bazan. He's one of the best songwriters alive. I'd also love to see Matt Talbott from HUM on the podcast. They have an amazing new album out.

[@andrews.7027]

Pedro the Lion was such a big part of my life journey up to this point. Thank you David!

[@dmanorozco]

“I Do” is an all time fav of Daves. Loved the tour you guys did together.

[@jawanxp99]

Pedro the Lion and Jimmy Eat world are some of my favorite bands this is gunna be a great ep

[@lisacortese86]

I love these so much. Jim you are so fascinating! Would love to see one of these with Brian Fallon of gaslight anthem.

[@shtty17]

Came lookin for this comment!

[@memorymines]

Please interview Jeremy Enigk, Jim.

[@stealingroses]

This is very therapeutic hearing musicians I admire struggle with the same things I do. Thank you.

[@jamesrobertson9761]

David Bazan is one The of Greatest of all time.

[@CarsSimplified]

One of those shows with the CD recordings had a bit of banter between songs referencing a fake phone call interview with Jim I made on my previous KZbin channel. Quite memorable for me, for sure!

[@adg7147]

Here’s some future guest suggestions: Mike Kinsella - American Football/Owen Christopher Simpson - Mineral/Mountain Time Matt Pryor - The Get Up Kids/New Amsterdams Jeremy Egnik - Sunny Day Real Estate Dustin Kensrue - Thrice Cedric Bixler-Zavala - At the drive in/Mars Volta Anthony Green - Saosin/Circa Survive

Have you been listening to my 2007 mix tapes? Haha

"the hesitance to let things suck" may be the most understated definition of artistry I've ever heard :D

[@wakerglass3730]

Thank you for addressing musicians listening to their own music! I feel like that's something people don't want to admit for whatever reason.

[@twitcher73]

2 of my very favorite artists of all time.

[@scottgirouard]

David seems like such a genuinely NICE guy, which makes his music even better - loved this chat, Jim

[@guilhermeazevedo4076]

BEAUTIFUL & INSPIRING

[@thequalityofmercury2373]

Jim, these videos are great! Please keep them coming.

[@artbynickferran]

Jim, these conversations have been so eye-opening and informative and hella entertaining. Even for me as a non-musician. Would to hear you talk with a Black artist if you can make it happen - Kele from Bloc Party, Nnamdï, or anyone in the hip hop industry would be absolutely fascinating to hear their perspective.

[@ScoopedUp]

I love these videos Jim keep em coming! currently writing an album and expeirencing writers block so these talks have helped inspire me a lot! thanks

[@evz89]

Jim you gotta get davey havok on!

[@mikowl5713]

I keep buying all these Fender guitars because Jim's ads are so damn good and intense

[@kenguine]

This is amazing. Keep the videos coming!

[@TellMeSomethingorg]

This is my favorite thing on KZbin. I have been watching all of these episodes and the mini dives and getting really inspired to try new things, or recognize things I do that I didn't even realize were conscious decisions. Would you ever consider doing an audience questions episode? I have so many questions about your studio and process!

[@timarcella]

I was just telling someoneabout my Tele Thinline. Love that axe

[@Firemanchamp]

Absolutely loving this series!!! Please Jim, if you know (or even if you don’t), bring on Claudio Sanchez!!!

[@lishkoburger12]

Hey Jim, if you're reading this, I'd love to hear you play a lick from Dizzy in one of your podcast intros :D

[@scottbaylo]

Quick question for all the fans of mostly 80's-90's (and just a smidgen of the early to mid 2000's) punk/emo/etc. I'm pretty sure I've become the old guy who thinks that all music today sucks ass, and I really miss that feeling of running to vintage vinyl to pick up the new album by J church, J.E.W., Jets to Brazil, or any other amazing band beginning with J. There wasn't really a specific sound through that time frame, but there was something special about it that I can't quite put my finger on. Bands sounded very different from each other, yet similar enough to the point where it was damn near impossible to pick an ultimate favorite. The good thing is that even after 30+ years, I can still enjoy listening to all those old albums (almost as much as I did when they were new). The last band I fell in love with was Forgetters, and that kinda doesn't count because I was following the artists previous bands. OK, no more filibustering. The question is this... Can any of you please give me suggestions of newer bands that have the same feeling of bands from back then? Maybe even list some of your favorites from back then in case I missed it. Thanks

[@jefflikeusual20]

I’m with you on what you’re saying.. a 2010-present modern band that I’ve only recently discovered and seen live is PUP. Their album Morbid Stuff is great from start to finish and is full of the energy and passion we’re used to from back then. Give it a go and see what you think if you haven’t heard them already!

[@WaitingForTheHook]

The Beths

[@VarynDEE33t]

Pinegrove, Basement, Slaughter Beach Dog, Pet Symmetry, Joyce Manor, Cloud Nothings. To name several.

[@scottbaylo]

@@jefflikeusual20 I haven't heard of them, so thanks... I'll get back to you after I've checked it out. I did find some older bands that somehow escaped me that I'm enjoying called grabass Charlestons ,and blank (with the singer of cross my heart) both pretty damn good.

[@vanessaderoo7915]

Way too late on this but you might like Paerish, Basement or Movements :)

[@daviddasilva8326]

Nice David Bazan is one of my favorite songwriters. Jim, may I recommend an interview with Aaron Wiess from mewithoutYou? I'd like to hear what takes he may have. Great work with pass-through frequencies!

[@thedavidjscott_]

Yeah, if you can find him 😂. He lives somewhere in the middle of Idaho with no cell phone, haha!

[@andrewfaucett6915]

Those heavy strings are amazing. I might have to change to 13s now. Uhg!

[@amoj2188]

his specs has a wound G on it.

[@andrewfaucett6915]

Amoj 21 his style is very unique. It your typical lead player but he pulls it off as it always fits the song.

[@outwithcows8785]

@@andrewfaucett6915 Set up your guitar first.. if you have 9s or 10s that could be a hard jump

[@andrewfaucett6915]

Frank P I agree. In his rig rundown he said he does it so that switching back and forth with an acoustic is easier. I’ve played a friend’s that was set up with 13s and it was odd, but for a strictly rhythm player like myself, it did feel better hopping back and forth. I’ll probably be too lazy to ever do it lol!

[@veritydean7746]

I was at that gig in Manchester- got the CD too :) The show was great so doesn't matter.

[@diazdaisy]

Pedro the Lion ❤

[@danielbuhr4260]

Can't believe I'm just finding this.

[@shntrnr]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!

[@vagabondsmichigan]

Wonderful conversation!

[@_scabs6669]

Desperate for approval I just put out my fifth short film, which I think is my best yet but has a lot of problems. I shared it with my friends who worked on it with me and with my parents. They all said they liked it and I was disappointed. I am also negative like Bazan in the sense that I get paranoid, I think, oh they are only saying that bc they are being nice. If it was really good or worthwhile people would be telling me to quit. So I began thinking, I just want someone to tell me I'm shit. So my dad finally watched it, and he didn't finish it. He told me it wasn't his cup of tea. In a strange way, that felt the best. Because you know it's honest

[@joehuffman1847]

Man, I just live for this series right now. Super helpful. Inspires me to write and work on more musical ideas. Also, I still neeeeed a JA-90. Who can get me a hot deal! Or do I have to wait and pray for some Covid relief money?

[@RGBoombox]

I hope you have a Ken Andrews interview in the chamber! Love the show. Thank you.

[@Eclecticompany]

Great series, love David Bazan, whether him, Pedro, Lo Tom. Like Jimmy Eat World too :-)

[@JonathanSporadic]

Damn I feel like a real song writer now. Listening to two of the best, two of my favorites who go through pretty much the all the same feelings. Nice.

[@marcoagallegor]

Oh wow! I used to listen to Pedro the Lion all the time back in the day, I just never knew the singers name. Great, great show Jim. Keep up the good work. Saludos from Mexico!

[@fehlbergo]

Jim, these are sick! Love the open and honest song writing discussion. I would love to hear from Lee Ronaldo or Johnny Marr (and Isaac Brock would be incredible if you could convince him!)

[@KennyCarlile]

Jim...call Claudio...that's the ultimate PTF that we all want to see. :)

"Nihilism is, like... so not me... Fender" I died

[@oksanabear]

Wow I think this is the first one where it ended and I was like "is that it?" On a side note, God pranked me and had the cvs playing the Pink and Nate Ruess song yesterday.

[@akatsukijonny]

Aha so true about a show having a glitch making it that much more memorable. The one time I saw RATM was 2010 at the La coliseum and the sound dropped twice to the opening of testify like Jim said theirs had dropped twice gearing the crowd aha crowd was like awh then started again but dropped again and then started again aha. Another time is when circa had an acoustic performance in Mesa at the art center and the power to the city went out by us plugging in aha literally got the moment the sound and power went out, it was such a unique noise and crowd awh aha truly made it that much more memorable. Always love these and the fender ads 😆

Buddy, Jim. I know this is all backlogged but release these once a week and you'll have 100k subs and way more views per video. There's a science to KZbin and you're doing it all wrong just dumping these epic videos on here nonstop.

This is ok, but I was hoping for more specific David stuff. Plenty of Jim cutting in.
