Unpopular opinion: I think the interviewer was asking some great questions

[@swolldobby3940]

I don't think I've ever seen their vocalist with shoes on lol

[@simonr4542]

I think the only time was in the warped tour when the stage was so hot that he literally burned his feet :D

[@WahWahWeeWah]

Many years ago Garrett broke both his legs while playing basketball for his university and lost his ability to walk. After having no choice but to crawl for excruciatingly long periods of time, he became severely depressed and suicidal. He managed to stay alive and regained his ability to walk. He appreciated feeling the ground under his feet so much that he saw it as a blessing prefers to be barefoot, unless he's exposed to more extreme temperatures.

[@jonwarren7108]

@@WahWahWeeWah very true. I never knew that he broke both of his legs. I knew he had really bad depression and I am pretty sure he still suffers with it some just not as bad and he's also bipolar. This has got to be my number 4 out of my top 10 bands in the world!

Listening to Silent Planet interviews is good for your soul

[@silasxaviertheprod.9734]

This bands sound and lyrics together always mange to make me cry tears of joy. Even listening to Garrett speak sometimes can make me cry. This must be what it feels like to be in the presence of one who has found true love in Christ. Almost no other band makes me feel like this

[@bildom]

Amen brother!

[@alexlcam]

True ! I recommend you to take a look at the lyrics from a band called Windvent

[@Spyndle1210]

I love how they are all trying to outcompliment each other

[@ShunnedJ]

The interview was great!

[@ruicarneiro1640]

Hands down the most insightful interview I've ever seen man, those questions and remarks were amazing!

[@colbyisham2677]

you gotta watch Garrett on the Provoke and Inspire podcast. He has two guest interviews with them. Both really really insightful and captivating.

[@zzirjukez2899]

I love all of you so much

[@albertoromero9315]

Best album of the year so far!

[@Mindartcreativity]

YES! I requested a full band talk about writing, recording, lyrics on their facebook page and here it is 😀 Thanks SLNT PLNT ❤️

[@shawnlincoln9595]

Interviewer - "ok"

[@MatDeCesare]

This dudes voice is asmr

[@kramraliuga5589]

When I first heard the new album the production quality really stood out to me, and at first I was disappointed because it doesn’t have the same clean bright quality as EIS was. But after hearing this interview I completely understand what they were going for, and I’m glad they put this much thought into the perception their audience would have. I enjoy every song on the new album definitely. I love these guys

[@theopinson3851]

I like how Garrett is randomly barefoot

[@roddyrodriquez4725]

The guy doing the interview I think comes from the Rob and Big time travel episode looks and sounds just like him

[@tallturtle5047]

at about 4:20, Mitch legs look like Tom's

A really good garage haha

[@StephenIC]

I don't like the interview style of reviewing their album in front of them and then asking what they think. You've got some absolute geniuses in that room, let them talk. (I'm less than halfway through)

[@maximeb190]

Well, the band seemed extremely appreciative of his analysis and comments so, I guess it was spot on regardless. I agree it's an unconventional and off putting style, but kinda refreshing also because it's different.

[@siriplaydopethrone8973]

@@maximeb190 i also like how analytic he is, it wasn't cringey or awkward to watch so i guess he really did a great job interviewing this band.

Surprised there was anything left in the cup past the 2 minute line

[@randpresley1666]

Solid band, but why barefoot???

[@TheLostColorslover23]

I wish the interviewer would have asked more questions and talked less
