Soundwave TV: Coal Chamber Interview 2012

[@sean447744]

Wow I am in total shock! I never thought I would hear of a Coal Chamber reunion! I loved this band back in the day! Speechless. Awesome!

[@VoltronCorpse]

Front barrier for these guys in Brisbane... Fuck man, these guys have not lost it. I was a little young when these guys were first around, but listened to their music, and was blown away! Very proud to say I've seen Coal Chamber live!

[@dalemarkus1124]

Got to love and respect Dez for being so honest "drugs". Simple one word and so happy to see them back together. One of the most underappreciated bands out there

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

They are not underappreciated.

[@hestermalatesta5355]

I have that same Bauhaus shirt from seeing that group live at The Vic in Chicago in 2005.

[@IPurpleBTS81]

They were fucken insane in Brisbane, awesome show

[@BurgerHospital]

This new bassist is fucking gorgeous.

[@Zuggyify]

Saw them at Eatons Hill and Soundwave the next day FUCKIN AMAZING been listening to these guys from a very young age now to be able to have seen them live makes my year fucking EPIC!!!!

[@olivermanpusse51]

I love coal chamber! I saw coal chamber for the first time in Dallas at Ozzfest! It was their first run on Ozzfest I honestly can't remember if it was "96" or "97" but I do know Manson and Pantera was on the bill and Ozzy played a solo set and Black Sabbath closed the show!! I think it was the first time Black Sabbath had played together all 4 original members and when Sabbath played (btw the show was at the Coca Cola Star Plex in Dallas)( don't know what it's called now, but this place is huge it's an amphitheatre capacity is at least 50k 60k ) when they played "War Pigs" it was dark but I could see the clouds roll in and a full moon 🌩️ lightning ⚡ in the background and in the crowd of 50/60k+ people had literally built bonfires all throughout the crowd at least 7/10 and they were all on 🔥 fire 🔥... It was absolutely exquisite unbelievable, probably one of the coolest most perfect rock n roll moments ever!! Sorry got off track talking about Coal Chamber... One other thang first.. I do remember being so bummed and upset that for some reason Manson cancelled or whatever the reason they didn't perform that night..Manson I wanted to see more than anyone but I still would have gone for Pantera and Ozzy Black Sabbath etc... Also this was the very first year of Ozzfest. I had heard of Coal Chamber but didn't know anything about them what they sounded like looked like .... Really most of the crowd and everyone I went with (my band my best friends a big ol entourage of us drove a caravan from Wichita Ks to Dallas) So I'm not sure who was on the mainstage when we got there but apparently I didn't care to see them.. but on the second stage Coal Chamber was getting ready to play so we got to the second stage and they come out and the first song they play is "Loco" and their stage presence is their look was so cool and exciting.. They were so young. I remember they play the intro to "loco" and right before Dez does his breathing GO before they kick in.... The whole band just stood there in these creepy stances and did not move didn't blink they just started at the crowd for at least 90 seconds way longer then how they perform it now.. and you don't know what's about to happen, remember 90% of the crowd never heard coal chamber.. then Dez still not moving starts to smile and his eyes get big and his smile gets bigger the suspense is really killing the crowd and we all want it to last... Then Dez stops smiling then goes ushhpGO!!!! and they go nuts it was amazing the Bass player Rayna is slamming on the ground landing on her knees jumping back up her knees are all bruised and bloody like she does this every night.. Dez was just so sexy and spooky and he kept smiling all creepy and screaming like a man banshee in heat!! The drummer and guitar they were even more crazy their movements while they play is how you are supposed to move when you are totally embodying the music and energy and when a band is truly locked in together it's a beautiful thing and they were so badass!! My favorite performance of the day and became a life long fan!!!! Pantera was awesome I had seen Pantera a dozen times at that point but I do remember Pantera being so Fucking loud it actually hurt I was afraid my ears were going to pop!!!! Lol. That was an amazing day!

[@elsantoshadow]

the best

[@larz015]

COAL CHAMBER IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BAND EVER!! SO THIS IS BEYOND AWESOME!

[@wcolmer2]

toots and the maytals are badass reggae.

[@AbsoluteHysteria]

@Ln192 BOOO HOO! dont listen then. and leave it to the rest of us who grew up listening to them

[@mdover1993]

[@workhardno1cares]

Dime stories make me smile

[@RobertCuillo]

Bassist is smokin

[@dmetalx88]

Coal Chamber come back! and bring again the 90´s feelings, put metal again in the right place!

[@Fr4m3Data]

This is awesome that they back together!

[@trainer484]

CC was my shit back in '97 - '98, so glad to see theses guys back together! They had some brutally heavy songs that were catchy and to the point. They were pioneers in the nu metal genre.

[@DsexLive]

They lookin fresh, should kick some in Melbourne!

[@KNITTEDmusic]

Not only did these guys play with Pantera but Dez digs Motionless In White. FUCK YEAH!

[@deirdrekinsella5567]

+Roodney Wange they have a new cd out and it is fucking awesome

[@deirdrekinsella5567]

my boy friend and i saw coal chamber live in Columbus and it was fucking awesome and their new cd is really, really good

[@mooxim]

So glad they finished with a little snippet of Loco. I fucking love that song! God I'd love to get a chance to see these guys play.

[@bubshab]

The technical difficulties at Sydney were fucking shithouse but the still managed to get a wicked set in.

[@ninja4499]

I can't believe that Meegs is Chinese Mexican decent. Dude that's fucking awesome!

[@caretakergrady3319]

Lol, I like how Mikey covers up his embarrassing "little children" tattoo with a elastic band.....saw another interview where they called him on it

[@tripXable]

Yes!! BADASS!

[@HELLCIO]

LOVE THIS BAND. COAL CHAMBER FOREVER!!! AND NOW FOLLOWING DEVILDRIVER. IF A BAND HAVE DEZ ON VOCALS I WILL FOLLOW.

[@NeLGin84]

i miss this people!!!!come back and make some shit!!!!rock the world bros!!!!

[@Vicer_Exciser]

Finally, an intelligent interviewer with a good metal band.

[@Zatsify]

Great Interview - got real and told us a lot. Gotta find that Performance now. 😄🤘 Hope all that’s still the case 5 years later. ✌🏼

[@zeitok8]

Great! chamber music is for me, one of the best albums in the 90´s.

[@MrJordwalk]

The new album is going to be SICK. I can just feel that from the vibe in this interview, like they all feel like this is the right time to be back together.

[@2014andon]

And i missed this...

[@METALFAN2486]

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE just realeased a reunion album from their tour earlier this and added a few new songs and if you get the bonus edition (The one with the DVD) there are music videos on it (a few old ones and new ones of the same music video to show the differences)And they sound amazing like they got their spirit/energy back into their music but it was just a reunion tour that happens every 10 years so Coal Chamber getting back together with a new bassist is something to look,

[@kornfreak78]

It's good to see they have all made up and are friends again. It truly warms my heart to see them smiling and happy about being friends again. That alone makes it all worth it. Friends... that's what it's all about. :) That said, COAL CHAMBER RULES!!!!

[@xClaydogzx]

tomorrow i'm gonna go LOCO

[@shaunchandler1995]

cant believe i didnt see them at soundwave yesterday:( would have been insane!!

[@deathmare88]

[@NumberOneChevelleFan]

[@Allen7]

[@ffr3ak]

Amen to that bro

[@elkornu8]

i just watched them live last nite and they were amazing

[@limousinesandmisery]

Nowadays I actually like Chamber Music the best of their albums. I hope they get to make at least one album more with time and thought. Great stuff.

[@killer2517]

[@xxjhonnyxx13]

[@leikersfeldt]

Dez seem like the most chilled out guy, its going to be awesome to see DevilDriver at Roskilde Festival 2012

[@LarryHappening]

I was there... fucking amazing show.

[@slayerfan343]

After that fist fight between dez and meegs I'm shocked they r back together

[@lucas_daniel836]

[@Dura641]

I HOPE THEY COME UP WITH THEIR NEW ALBUM

[@A.i.Riverz]

[@iganbarelytohg]

I hope they make another album, I still listen to Dark Days.

[@HELLCIUSMS]

i LOVE THIS BAND!!! They should make some albuns, but dont quit devildriver.

[@deirdrekinsella5567]

I've fucking had it with people saying mean things about Dez and about coal chamber and if you don't have anything nice to say then don't don't say anything at all damn it and Dez isn't a freak he is gothic this is why i hate you tube some times too many mean and hate full comments.

[@METALFAN2486]

Forward to for the new year,

[@gervaciotube]

LOCO is my morning breakfast \m/

[@METALFAN2486]

Yes and have another different special guest besides OZZY in one of their songs.

[@jessewoodward7365]

Holy shit! Dez knows Wednesday 13. now thats awesome!

[@halfpint0613]

Love Coal Chamber!!! Miss Rayna tho!!

[@elpinchepeach86]

hoping for an album!!!

[@santiagogustavoo]

They should definately return for a new album! It would be very awesome to see a new Coal Chamber album this year or next :D

[@Sandman1832]

Wow drugs really took a tole on these guys, they look it. I'm just glad they got clean and sober and glad Dez got everyone back together so they can tare it up again. So now we got 2 badass bands to listen to from Dez, we got DevilDriver which I can't wait till they release a new album, and we got CoalChamber back from the dead and ready to rip it up.

[@katharina4847]

What drugs do you took?

[@apacifistmachinegunner669]

@@katharina4847 Drummer and guitarist were on hard stuff for awhile. Meth , Heroin all kinds

[@Okoii]

Meegs is so hot ♥

[@LadyHayley01]

I feel sorry for Harper she gets a little bit left out. I mean i know she wasnt the original but still, she is in the band now so yeah.

[@CountScrofula]

ah!! too excited! meegs looks amazing! im happy he's aged well....

[@KevinHallSurfing]

Chela! Yesssss \\m//

[@GeneralSpookX]

That's funny, when I first saw Meegs I thought: Adam Ant!!! They literally started where they left off. I have a live picture of them back in the day touring for Dark Days with Dez wearing that same shit... same Bauhaus shirt with the chalk powder and everything. I'm so pumped, these guys were my favorite band back in the day. Marilyn Manson has filled that void since then and I was really happy to hear that Marilyn Manson invited them out to Soundwave. Amazing.

[@BurgerHospital]

Cool story bro. Coal Chamber is still awesome.

[@Spinelicker5]

Hell yeah, squash all that beef and move on, I can't wait to see ya'll here in TULSA OKLAHOMA!!!! much love ya!

[@Hunterhopefool]

he said HIATUS that means it was just a break, hopefully another album to come :D

[@METALFAN2486]

And i hope they come back with a stronger and better but keep with the original soundbase you know what i mean? The comeback bands that made new albums that i have listened to so far kinda suck except for The cars they have one kickass new song but the other bands like Soundgarden and Pearl jam sound like they have changed and forgot their roots and The misfits new album sounds kinda like coal chamber but with a faster punk sound added now i'm just waiting for rancid to see if they are the same.

[@andrewg223]

play california!!!!!

[@ForLorNVuLgaR]

Awwww...

[@MultiPyrostorm]

I wonder if Rayna will come back.

[@OrangeishPotato]

Meegs is tuning to G? Fuck.

[@twig1981]

I thought Meegs was gonna knock out the guitar tech in Sydney. Massive problems, still a frigging awesome set!

[@Trumperts]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! when did this happen!!!!! DUDE< i had tickets back in ... 03 i think but DEZ and Meegs got into it the night b4 in San Antonio and that was the end :( , i never thought !!!! @__@!!!!!!

[@kingsnake23]

Man, it's been a long time since I've heard of Coal Chamber, and they look awesome right now, except for Rayna no longer in the band, that really sucks.
