[@sly11benal7]

Thrice is my favorite band n always will be! ✔💯🍻 Been with them since late 2001...?

[@MsDeathwish2]

Such a great band.

[@jimmyjohn8479]

4:15 In 15 years of following this band, I've never heard Dustin curse lol the awkward edit right after too 😂

[@crock30able]

I just heard him on another interview I watched before this one. It threw me off

[@kaitoswarlock]

[@bobisadrummer]

Bill Lawrence passed away :( He made my favorite Strat pickups, the SCN (Samarium Cobalt Noiseless) which are also, no longer made and are epoxied so you can't change the color of the covers. I buy them up whenever I find them used. Even ended up buying a used set with Black covers from Sweden.

[@MrMotherfuck123]

Greatest Band of all Time...

[@johnstanderfer3692]

It’s cool to hear the rig rundown around 11:00

[@LORDDARK6-fx5gi]

They are so badass

[@spidermanironsuit9866]

The whole band together.All very smart. Whats that show where there is some very smart host.

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

Does the Thrice drummer like Benny Greb? Interesting. John Petrucci wall… A little piece of trivia… Thrice recorded the original Artist in the Ambulance record in one of the same studios that Dream Theater recorded in.

[@atlantean1209]

Hey interviewer, let them speak without interrupting please

[@bluepearl_22]

Teppei always looks tired af lol

[@spencergellsworth]

HAS ANYONE FOUND TEPPEI'S GUITAR YET THIS IS KILLING ME

[@HTXREP]

Dustin cussed! Wtf??

[@jimmyjohn8479]

Right?! Notice the awkward edit afterwards? Lol

[@johnstanderfer3692]

“Don’t buy gear” - guitar store guy.

[@arronfridenmaker7044]

I'd argue with that. Tool is one of the greatest bands of all time.

[@VladShpiro]

We all know that, but when're you're interviewing a band "the greatest band of all time" is the one you're interviewing at the moment ;) Love both

[@j4n83benja]

Is this a Christian band?

[@Dabomb1237]

Christian member(s) and Dustin's lyrics have Christian undertones, sometimes very clearly. Check out Listen Through Me from their Major/Minor album. There are references throughout their other albums as well. However, they do not collectively call themselves a Christian band.

[@jys8569]

Words In the Water definitely got me asking the same question haha. Turned out to be one of my favorites songs of all time.

[@cashlayton1313]

They don’t seem very approachable lol

[@joshuabaker67]

I’m 7:35 in and this is so boring. Fans don’t really care about what every single band thinks of warp coming to an end. And then when you finally ask a music question, they give really lame answers. Do these guys hate their jobs or what? They couldn’t seem less interested in being there.

[@hannahhelton3789]

I’m pretty sure thrice just likes making music and they hate the interviewing crap. 😂 they’re just regular dudes and they want to stay regular.

[@Bluebirdthedove]

@@hannahhelton3789 I agree lol
