Phil Labonte of All That Remains | Drinks With Johnny

Take a deep dive with us this week into the life and mind of All That Remains frontman Phil Labonte! Phil and Johnny discuss the metalcore scene from when their bands started gaining traction in the early 2000’s to today, and the release of new All That Remains music. The journey for Phil to this point has had its ups and downs, but through his hard work and dedication not just to the music, but to his fans, he is ready for the band to move forward. The two guys continue to talk about the gratitude they truly feel to their fan bases and detail exactly what it has meant to their careers and the humility in life they find from it. The music talk continues as they get into the record making “business” and give a look behind the curtain to “how the sausage is made” when it comes to dealing with record labels and personalities. Mr. Labonte shares what other activities he’s been filling his time with including podcasting as a regular on the Timcast Podcast discussing politics and pop culture. Although these two may not share all the same views politically, they find similarities and common ground in their opinions and even share some laughs about some of the absurdity in our government and policies. Take it in with a watch, and a listen as these two long time acquaintances become friends. Streaming everywhere all at once! 😎

Oli created some of the greatest riffs of modern metal. His loss is undeniable

[@danielsatter1805]

Real strange death too. That shit is sad af

[@Kalebsweeten]

@@danielsatter1805completely agree. I’m still convinced his wife killed him. Regardless RIP to one of the best to ever do it.

[@robnavarro4617]

An all time great, RIP Oli

[@killer1one1]

I think about this every time I hear some ATR. Glad to know his legacy isn't being swept under the rug.

[@lambofgod0086]

This is such an amazing episode! I watch Phil all the time when he is on Timcast!

[@jasonjohnston1876]

lol 😂😂😂

[@JediCrackSmoke]

Great interview. Phil is always interesting to listen to.

[@rsrain14]

Phil seems like a very charismatic guy. Really enjoyed this podcast episode 👍🏻

[@jdb6215]

Love you Phil! I’ve been listening to those 2 singes religiously every day. It’s been 6 long years my friend. As a fan I can’t wait for the album release and as another fellow man, I’m genuinely happy for you and the band. I miss Oli’s guitar work but Jason is an absolute beast. Whether it’s 6 days or 6 years I’ll always support ATR music 🤘

[@kdubz8600]

Awesome guest!

[@rebekahcarter8120]

This is a great chat. So much respect for both of y'all. Phil is so right about the importance of focusing on writing good SONGS vs just focusing on solos or breakdowns. And that Thomas Sowell quote is spot on.

[@bradyfugel4552]

Great interview!

[@helco2856]

Loving the shirt, johnny.

[@feathersblack5942]

An excellent conversation. It hurts my heart that you gentlemen have had to deal with such devastating losses. The pain doesn’t go away. It just becomes familiar. But I did hear a guy say that life wouldn’t be so precious if there never was an end. ❤❤

[@JDrach30]

Love this. Two of my favorite bands, two of my favorite podcasts.

[@allenedward4364]

Ill be honest, I was really skeptical knowing there was new music on the horizon. Its not that i thought anything would be bad its just musically its a different band than rhe one i fell in love with, then i really sat and thought about it and thought about taking my buddy to his first concert ever and it was ATR in 2009, how many nights i stayed up listening to music, id be wrong for not giving it a chance and i was blown away. Cant wait to hear the rest

[@nickshepley2566]

Hell yeah brother

[@KeystoneKenny]

loved this!! amazing convo from you two!

[@bigmandrums4346]

Ive always been a big fan of Phil cant wait to see ATR in September

[@MichaelColalella]

Love Phil and ATHR! Good choice!

[@grizbear9519]

I quit drinking 13 + years ago. I don't have a story either. It just happened. Best decision I ever made

[@shealaughy2475]

All that remains opened for Megadeth in 2006. I was one of three people in the entire crowd who had any idea who they were. I had the album cover in hand, and Oli talked to us for a few minutes signed the cover. I guess oli was taking to long for Phil's liking he came over and told Oli to hurry up. We asked politely for an autograph and he literally told us to f off.

[@JamesPhillips-cp4vn]

I saw atr twice in spfd mo First time (I was at will call before the show) Oli came up to the ticket line & everyone outside maybe 4 hours before the doors were to open & thanked everyone for coming to the show Second time, Oli was at the merch table after atr had played and was basically doing 1-1 meet & greets for anyone that wanted to talk.

[@JamesPhillips-cp4vn]

He was awesome to talk to. The oldest pic in my phone is me & him after our talk-very kind guy that the world & music misses

[@burningkarma]

Always liked Phil. Never found him to be too partisan one way or the other.

[@TKAM88]

JOHNNY....PHIL... Awesome episode: I have the attention span of a squirrel at times.. lol So, you know it means something when I sit still for two hrs. Please have Phil on again.

[@deltamaxxhomevideo]

Phil shouting out Lambgoat made me come to terms with my ancientness.

[@Kalebsweeten]

Siiiiiick episode. Huge ATR and Avenged Sevenfold fan. Fall of ideals still goes down as one of the GOAT metalcore albums.

[@BagofSchmidt]

I didn't realize until Phil was talking about avenged sevenfold that this was the bass player the whole time.

[@duarteleonardo8352]

Shit! That's right, didn't notice until o read the comment

[@DrummerAndyTaiwan]

Yeah I still wanna know the reason of Oli’s untimely passing, what a loss to the Metal community, love from Taiwan 🇹🇼 though

[@nickshepley2566]

Phil has GTA radio 🤣

[@savagehoundz]

Johnny what do you think about Steve Harris from Iron Maiden? I’ve also wondered who some of your bass influences are

[@kennethwilliams-ks5zt]

As far as i know he drowed in the lake near home i think

[@rattlehead4536]

Lyrics do not always draw me in. I hear riffs and hooks, melody and an innovative drummer will separate a band from the others. ATR and Avenged are clear examples.

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

8:44 “neither side makes that argument” that’s objectively not true whatsoever and you’re lying if you disagree. Full stop. You can’t say you don’t make such an argument when you go and say things that explicitly describe not only that you make such an argument, but HOW you wish to implement your stance. It’s been well documented on both sides how this topic is presented and argued.

[@Kalebsweeten]

You’re quite literally proving his point lol.

[@grizbear9519]

This Johnny guy needs to grow a set of balls and not sit on the fence on subjects

[@Strawman333]

This guy is asleep.

[@MrCarcass1978]

You've been in a coma since Napoleons time, mate. Stop ya chirping.

[@Strawman333]

@@MrCarcass1978 I wasn’t around then.

[@ninaeatspie]

Excellent interview, very interesting conversation. You two vibe so well together!
