I had the priveledge of recreating for Ross the Bigger Muff pedal that Korn used on those first few albums. I went to his studio and what I thought would be a nerve racking experience, ended up being the most down to earth welcoming dude with such a great outlook. Never stop being you, Ross

[@BrandonHurlesYT]

That was me

[@stealingtomorrowband]

I started listening to Korn when life is peachy came out. I think i was 12-13 and seen the video for no place to hide and was hooked. I didn't know about the 1st Korn record and my college kid neighbor hooked me up with the 1st album and i was just floored. He ended up getting into a motorcycle wreck and lost his college scholarship and had to move back home i still have his CD to this day.. Great interview dude.. i also Haven't heard of your band but i will be checking it out in a few... Good day my friend

[@cemented508]

Giving Ross Robinson enough time to fully articulate the inner workings of his mind leads you to overwhelming enlightenment. There is nothing that comes out of his mouth that is anything short of priceless. I hope everyone learned something more about themselves after listening to this.

[@RockcafeRacer]

Love hearing Ross created the best albums of my childhood

[@icheaux]

This man was convinced by Fieldy to listen Limp Bizkit's demo and that allowed them to record Three Dollar Bill Yall$. That was the start of my music life. Love this man.

[@leachofsouls]

Fred Gave feildy a shitty Korn logo tattoo and the price was doing just that pretty much. If I remember Feildys memoirs correctly

Ross is an entitled rich kid, mom and dad were therapists. He took the little things that heard mom and dad talk about and exploit the fucked up shit that real people that endured that pure narcissist even If I love the korn slipknot and glassjaw albums.

[@Conduit2Christ84]

Ross " my mom and dad were therapists, and hippies i grew up entitled and got lucky bringing pain to get great artists to open up Robinson vinerability isnt everything, maybe just let bands like suicide silence be badass, and envelop masculinity..... thats what was missing in the 2010s , its needed even more today

Korn, Limp Bizkit, Glassjaw, Fear Factory, Slipknot, even Sepultura 'Roots'. The list could go on and on, but to name a few, this guy is a legend and was THE guy when I was growing up. Besides the bands themselves, this dude was the biggest thing out there.

He brought the psycho out of some of the bands he worked with in a healthy and artistic way. Korn's first albums and Slipknot's first albums were killer releases during my teenage years

[@fmilton20]

I wouldn't say "healthy". He tossed potted plants at Joey while he was tracking. He caused mental breakdown's with band members. He is a genius and I am glad he pushed people like he did because we would not have the recordings we have.

[@jdawg3629]

@@fmilton20 Ha, true but depends on your definition of healthy, I guess. Breaking someone down mentally in the right way makes them stronger in the end, like a boot camp. Greatness is made through struggle. So, healthy in my book

Ross produced my favorite album, Burn Piano Island Burn by The Blood Brothers. Thanks for doing this interview!

From Guitarmy to The Shame, that album is so legendary...

[@shawnkhodai7665]

This podcast is really well produced, and I checked Suicide Silence out and damn what a sick band. I can’t believe I never heard them before. If this is any indication, I’m sure others will also check out your band after watching this podcast so just letting you know it’s legit. Thanks man.

[@David-ix1uv]

Back in the 90s, I regarded this guy as some kind of sorcerer. A mysterious force. Pre-internet, little known about him back then - except the fact that his name was credited on many legendary albums I acquired and still listen to. What a legacy. I can’t understand the shade that gets thrown his way sometimes. Like the music he was involved in or not, he made things happen in ways that no-one could ever entertain. Out of the box. Much respect from the UK

[@erickmedrano4113]

thanks for this clip @Garza , thanks for bringing out Mr.Robinson , most underrated producer to me from back in the day

[@kornfreak78]

Ross is a fucking LEGEND. He will FOREVER be my favorite producer. Much respect to him!

[@abrielrobertsson4160]

Love this guy and the album he produced. The S/T and IOWA of Slipknot are their best albums to date and we're talking about albums made 20-23 years ago or smth. He made the underground scene shine and be the center of attention for quite a while. We owe a lot of thanks to this man.

[@zacharyjames8026]

Thank you Ross for producing my favorite album from my favorite band. Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence by Glassjaw will forever have a place in my heart and has been there for me for some of my darkest moments. So grateful for the existence of that album, true musical therapy at it's finest.

[@ericko777]

Great show dude. Loved the one with Dino too. Thank you for this great content. It's a dream come true for us 90s-present fans.

[@GarzaPodcast]

Oh dude, Ive been in heaven the past month. Wait till next week! -Garza

[@cr-cn4ky]

Bro I fast forward through the whole interview looking for korn and slipknot and couldn't find it.

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

Slipknot's self-titled got me into metal and it was the catalyst for me being extremely obsessive with music. It was that good!!! Iowa and Korn's second album also were the most cathartic records to me as a kid. They were like therapy in a weird way. I put them on and all my emotions were validated, and presented in a way I could enjoy rather than suffer from. Wish I could personally thank Ross for his pivotal role in crafting these albums

[@BigStevie]

You the man Garza! Don't let any of these critics bring you down.

[@GarzaPodcast]

I appreciate that man. Lucky I have some thick skin. 30's haha. Just trying to put badass shit out there for everyone. -Garza

Thank you Ross for producing Korn & Slipknot’s best records. Your contribution to metal is priceless & undeniable. 🤘

[@timothysisneros]

Ushered in the first iteration of nu-metal (korn - life is peachy) and the second iteration (slipknot - iowa) and some of the greatest music of the last 30 years, by far. Thank you Ross, for greatly enhancing my life.

[@vxrdrummer]

You have to love KZbin. As a kid I saw this dude talk two sentences on the Korn, 'Who Then Now' VHS back in 1998. We knew he produced all the best records at the time, as you would always look at who it was that on the CD sleeve, but knew nothing of him except those 30 seconds on the Korn video. Honestly, you would buy a CD without having heard of the band if you saw, 'Produced by Ross Robinson'. Now, we get interview after interview and can look back into the times that we all loved, but had vitually no access to at the actual time. Now you see a lot more of bands online day to day, and it would have been great to have seen more of Korn, Deftones, Slipknot, Fear Factory etc. when they were coming up besides what was on VHS or on MTV. And more of the influnencers behind the scenes like Ross Robinson. This is great.

[@jedailprod]

Fucking legend, talk about having impact in people lives, his work surely did have one on mine until this day... Always dreamed my band to be produced by Ross. Love the podcast by the way Chris ;)

[@Negative.mrb1]

I’d like to hear more stories from Ross about all the bands he’s recorded. I like the detail to the approach of recording. I’ve always felt my songs are captured memories or diary entries to my life and what’s going on in it.

[@LoicPatryTurcotte]

Yeah, a podcast more about recording technics would be great with Ross

[@IanVase]

Fucking legend. I'd pretty much do anything to work with him lol. P.S. I'm pretty sure you guys did some shows or a tour with my old band Straight Line Stitch (between my stints in the band unfortunately) . Could be wrong. Most excellent conversation. Loved it.

Listened to music Ross was involved with throughout all of my youth. Then as an adult found the teachings of his mother (Byron Katie) who's insights (The Work) changed my life for the better. I didn't know for years and years that she was his mother. It is really evident listening to this, that he has a lot of those same insights. Very fascinating.

[@freddylimpster7137]

wow! as a spiritual growth enthusiast and RR fan, this is a pretty interesting discovery. a friend of mine mentioned The Work to me a few years ago, never got into that, but now that I know that RR is her son, i might haha

This episode was such a nugget. Been a fan of Ross's work for well over half my life and I was expecting this to be more about your regular run-of-the-mill studio tales and instead I was met with this vulnerable, honest and humble discussion between two guys... there's some esoteric truths in this for sure.
