Terror Zone Podcast 01 Cold as Life. Jeff Gunnells and Roy Bates

[@SEANski1411]

Forever one of the hardest bands ever. These dudes deserve this resurgence they are getting and should be a household name to anyone who is into hardcore and heavy music. Pumped to hear where things go for these guys from here.

[@The8ToeKing]

I could watch this all night long. Jeff & Roy are great guys and Cold As Life history is always a hot subject. Nothing but respect for all involved. Hope to see/hear more of the TerrorZone podcast soon. Great job.

[@ryanadam1153]

So sad for Jeff losing his baby girl. But I'm stoked for you bro that your a free man Jeff!! You guys saved my life wether you know this or not. You've given me so much strength to keep pushing forward when I just wanted to die cause I was so strung out. C.T.Y.C. for life!!

[@terrorzonepodcast614]

I appreciate your feedback. I do have to admit I wish I would have waited a little bit longer to interview these guys because I think I'm a little better at directing the conversation than I was almost 2 years ago. But also it's pretty hard to do research if it weren't there or don't know the people involved in the scene at the time. I have learned a lot since then and I hope to have them back eventually to dig deeper and get more of the story. If there's any particular questions you think I should have asked or would think are good for next time, I welcome them. 🙏 my email address is [e-mail]. or hit me up on Instagram @terrorzonepodcast. Thank you for the constructive criticism.

[@mikeolerry6822]

Yes, I've been waiting for f'ing ever to see these two guys in the same room ..

[@mikeolerry6822]

Man that's gonna keep me smiling for the whole year....Woo-hoo and thank you!

[@terrorzonepodcast614]

@@mikeolerry6822 thanks man I hope they'll only get better! I'll be putting them out every week from here on out. On spotify and iTunes as well!

[@theinfidelH8]

Awesome interview Rob! Good to see Jeff and Roy together.

[@Anonymous-pm7bv]

God why cant Jeff just talk uninterrupted, this man has not been here for a whole decade, we should hear every word he had to say.

[@dbrosch]

Cool interview. I met Roy in 7th grade. He influenced me to play drums.

[@bricks5812]

My brothers, PT told me to check this out. My favorite show was at 659 on my birthday. What a night. And another great memory when Roy went down to st Andrew and jammed with biohazard. And crashing at my house in jersey, cases of pecan rolls. Love ya brothers.

[@roofD664]

They located the baby on the cover of 'born to land hard' .. crazy shit .. big up to Dom🙌🏻 .. Cold as Life🤘🏻 jammin again .. respect to TerrorZonePodcast 🔥🔥🔥 thnx 4 this

[@thatssoironic]

These guys have the most amazing stories to tell but they need someone to pull those stories out cause they’re not just gonna give ‘em up. I need a documentary

[@madssb]

Loved this episode. You should do another one with Jeff and Roy.

[@shaynebyrne5391]

So much great news in this interview. DETROIT FUCKING HARDCORE

[@zew1414]

And the sound, the lyrics, the name and especially "Born to Land Hard", it was all pure Detroit!

[@theartofmikedisney7614]

Fantastic interview and good to see two OGs in the same room. Punch and Wipe is on a comp CD with Cold as Life, "Detroit Is Distraught" and have played with them a couple as well. Always a great time. Much love and mad respect! Really fucking awesome interview!!!

[@2000ricktalife]

Original frauds.

[@shammerhead666]

I remember that, I drove placenta out to ypsi to record their song for distraught, my first time in a recording studio. Pretty sure they wrote most of that song on my guitar/amp and drum kit.

[@nickrooney6206]

It would be cool if those to get back on stage with a few of the X members and get cold is life back would love to see them

[@zew1414]

I grabbed this day one and when the title track started, I was never the same, just never the same again. And I liked Rodney but Jeff's vocals on this....just vicious! Still in my top 3 albums all time and I go back to 1986 when someone handed me the SOIA demo. Respect from Newark, NJ ✌️

[@swayzecsgo5530]

OMG I LOVE Dom and his stories!! The Randall story is classic Dom! I miss that dude, we used to be really close 20 years ago and its great to hear him in this! I can't wait to hear what he does with Declination. Yo Dom! Ty Brown says to do Crawlspace "Don't Get Mad... Get Even " next!

[@nk_rmmr]

That Crawspace EP is totally dope!!

[@seanmcdermott4915]

I saw Cold As Life in a small shack of a joint here in New Jersey called M&M Hall. F'n place was likely over capacity at 200. The set you guys played was like no sh*t I have ever seen. We had our local favorites here with Etown, Fury of V...and you guys stand out and beyond. MUCH LOVE FOR DETROIT FROM OVER HERE IN JER Z. BRING EM BACK TOGETHER JEFF!!

[@chrisdelgado3530]

Hardcore respects to the COLD AS LIFE CREW from Miami, FL. Stay strong Keep it real!!!!!!!!!!

[@jasonvanburen5332]

I went to a Roystock, one of the best shows I've ever been to.

[@toddreese24]

i was in a band called Eye Remain and played the last show of Cold As Life. Shortly after the singer quit to play bass in another band. I feel ver honored to have played that show.

[@Rob78169]

The declination remaster is amazing. Heard it on KZbin. Cant wait till December to pick it up!!

[@onlydarkwillremain]

With all due respect as much as Rawn was OG Cold as Life vocalist, Jeff has always been the most fitting vocalist. Maybe I don’t know enough, but they did seem to get harder and heavier once Jeff took over. The best hardcore vocals in my opinion. So raspy, so mean, so raw. Lol auto correct Rawn***

[@terrorzonepodcast614]

I agree bro. Ron is OG but Jeff is Cold as Life

[@michaellaurette4589]

Hi Jeff 😁 great interview‼️ I remember a band named Elvis & the Graceland Graverobbers 😎 good times. Slow Death ☠️

[@ColfaxJones]

bands from Canton for $50 Alex. Don't forget The Vomits and Psycho Dazy's

[@lallenjacobs14]

From Canton? I was in Westland. I wish I could have heard some of the music during the early years

[@zachmclaughlin8795]

Too bad the documentary never happened. I watch the trailer all the time. 40 year old kid here from Sarnia, Ontario. Lucky enough to have cool parents back in the day that let us take the van to Detroit to see the craziest, most intense shows they could never dream of. CTYC. Douggie is the man. Nice, cool guy to us kids at the shows.

[@Jamko1970]

Rawn was my good friend from 1984 to 1988, we kind of lost touch after a fight at Bookies where he was stabbed in the leg. He was also hanging out at the time (1988)with that asshole that eventually would end up killing him. Rawn was the real deal. I have sooo many great stories…

[@Matt-nl5gj]

SPEAK UP KING LET US HEAR

[@MOSHPITMURDERZINE8087]

AWESOME PODCAST. CHEERZ !!!!

[@scottbuczek2776]

My favorite band, grew up with CAL but there needs to be a better interview. No disrespect…but it’s obvious no research has been done and this kid was obviously too young to live the old Detroit Hardcore Days, not his fault but I could think of so many questions and just let them talk and bring back history. It’s an art to learn to listen and stop talking. Think Chronological order….you get two DHC legends in a room and need to be so prepared! Good effort and great to see them bringing up the old days but it can be so much better. Fingers crossed this kid interviewing can hone his skills and bring other legends in.

[@scottbuczek2776]

No prob bro…there’s so much history in the DHC scene. I grew up in Canton…I can see your trying really hard. Don’t get me wrong…it can be intimidating with CAL originals in the room but they are normal guys. Just talk to them….They’ve both been through things you or even I can imagine. I love your doing this and I can see soon you’ll perfect the art of interviewing! You better get Big Joey Robertson or Eric Burleson on the podcast. These both are also legends of HC/Punk that also grew up in Canton. Also get Jeff West… CAL set the stage for Canton kids getting into hardcore at such young ages. Keep it up and again…no disrespect. It’s refreshing to see someone show the importance of Detroit Hardcore in the 80’s and 90’s.

[@terrorzonepodcast614]

@@scottbuczek2776 for what it its worth, I smoked a bunch and did a few shots before this as well lol. Was super excited and nervous. I never talked to these guys but have seen em around before Jeff went away when they were in H8 inc. And I was 18/19 then so the intimidation factor stuck with me based on the old first impression in 2005. But yeah, there's lots of questions and ideas I have now that I know more.

[@PETETHEMEAT42]

Cold as Life played the Kathedral in Toronto with possibly Sworn Enemy or Death Threat I think. I believe it was an early No Warning show as well.

[@bricks5812]

When I got to Detroit from Nyc Snot took me to your practice and Rawn was belting I can’t breathe in a basement. A week or so later you played with Laceys band and those nazis came in and Lacey smashed one with the mike stand, Jeff came up to me so nonchalant and was like, wanna fuck up some nazis? It was so like every day and I still crack up

This was one of my fav H8CORE bands when I was in the the scene through the 90's even though I'm a nyhc die hard only bcuz that's where I was at and 1st introduced to the scene from AF & MAD BALL,WARZONE & MY guy RAYBEEZ R.I.P. down L.E.S. 123ABC(CBGB)among many others;Bull Doze,vod,crown of thornz so on too many I remember I copped the CAL DEMO off RICK TA LIFE at a show and just fell in love with em they were so fkn HARD By any chance does anyone know if you can still get CAL,MAD BALL ETC BASKETBALL JERZYS HMU LMK I remember the show w MAD BALL Definitely different times w the beat downs, fighting w police and a lot of us really did get lucky. When I went down I was so thankful for all the other shit I never got charged for. I remember ppl moshn thrown up pistols in the air @a club in NYC;won't name bands or the club, if you know you know.

when did jeff get out?...damn ...i'm old

[@ryanadam1153]

From what I heard it was a lame ass case for some money from an employer tree guy and they stuck it to him. Bullshit he got so much time for such a lame ass crime. I've been there done that. Struggling with opiates and mainly the dog for almost the last 20 years on and off. Probably 10 of the last 20 have been spun. It's a hard battle to struggle with opiate addiction. And the doctors and their oxycontin got me spun and then going to heroin made sense once the pills started to dry up. It's all by design. The system pedals pills and then pulls easy access and the same system has been really in control of all the hardcore dope. The cartels are just the lower level henchmen and fall guys.
