Matt proves yet again, that the heart and soul of the artist is pure, deep, and above all else meaningful. For this dude to find himself, through everything he has been through, and then to turn it around and send it out to the listener, and to help that listener deal with their own emotions, problems, etc...Well friends, that is what it's all about. This is why I love my Metal, Doom, whatever one wants to call it. It changes you, and for the better. Matt, thank you for being just one thing..YOU!!!

[@r.edward5701]

Well said.

[@Sockerfader]

Well said friend!

[@cavs608]

when u hear matt pike play guitar, every note is a punch in the face by pure amazingness

[@BuryTheBottleWithMe]

Matt Pike is an absolute behemoth in the metal community. The honest and genuine power that drives the doom/stoner/metal genre forward. I'm so thankful people like him are present and continuing to create music and move forward.

[@texgrouper7825]

You are a grounded person and your playing embodies that soul. Just purchased my first Sleep CD and immediately I started smiling. I see a lot of misery in my profession and your music helps me to cope. Thanks.

[@jessepancamo8449]

Get out of that profession!!!

[@Ievolovel]

It's cool as fuck to see him happy.

[@cop70s]

Damn this dude has a lot of empathy in him.

[@hexentoterbandtx]

What a down to earth dude Pike for president in 2020

[@korykoch3611]

Good for Matt. It's great hearing the opening interview.

[@jimlotus7889]

I dig this group a lot, I just recently found out about them, they are very heavy on guitars and that's what I like, Matt Pike is a great guitar player period ;)

[@abick8725]

I really appreciate Matt’s comments in this video, and totally identify with what he says here about spending such a big chunk of his life “blacked out”. After years :of alcohol, cocaine and heroin addiction, I finally was able to get it under control at 31 years old. I’m 42 now, about to turn 43 in August, and the last 11 years of my life have been the most productive, happy years of my life. I’ve literally become a new person and afforded myself the opportunity to pursue what I really want in life, which has done wonders for my depression. Don’t get me wrong, I am in no way “cured”, it is definitely an ongoing process and I am constantly learning new lesson 9 and life itself. To be given a 2nd chance at life and remain grateful for it…that is a true blessing!

[@p0wer2thepe0ple9]

Saw Sleep play with Thou last night in New Orleans....AMAZING SHOW...Played SOME NEW SONGS The Clarity, Dragonaut, Holy Mountain, Dopesmoker, ended the show with an amazing From Beyond>Nains Baptism>Al Cisneros solo bass drone that went on until the techs were packing up the drums and guitar + more that I can't remember cause I was baked out of my mind...GO SEE SLEEP LIVE...AND GET READY FOR VOL. 4!!!!

[@robertmunro5382]

[@franchotbell944]

One day at a time, I hear you keep telling it like it is. I want to have happiness in my life and if I have to give up "Smoking and Drinking" to have just that, then dam'mit!!!, SO IT SHELL BE...

[@Jormunbong]

I was so fucking high during the whole show...

[@secondsquared4361]

[@Alalu]

[@trooper1818]

Matt Pike is definitely my favorite artist to come out in recent years

[@MrBobman360]

You have some more learning to do.

[@Weedeater58]

Glad to know we have someone worthy enough to carry on the riff master legacy after our lord Iomi passes on.

[@Trahzy]

Sounds like he's learned from those trips. Great dude.

[@adrianslair9656]

[@Teaboy1]

[@D__D-cg3zb]

0:36 if you going in the studio to smoke pot with your bandmates while you are a doom/stoner metal artist- you are working, working for good.

[@kentmedalen4315]

Matt Pike.What a guy.👍

[@icespittingfire]

Matt Pike's trousers and Al Cisneros's microphone stand have something in common in this excellent Dopesmoker footage. They are both slightly too low.

[@bobbyosborne2375]

All Hale Pike. Love this fuckin guy.

[@skullstabber9]
