[@kimberleehaig1312]

Brian fallon is such a genuine soul. Much respect 🙏 one of the best songwriters of my time.

[@nicholas8690]

easily the best interview i've seen with Brian Fallon

[@DL14204]

Love Sailor Jerry.

[@arwenathelmsdeep]

let brian talk forever i love him

[@Joemoe228]

This episode is like Chicken Noodle Soup for The Rock Song Writer's soul! Hearing you guys riff about the writing process makes me miss being in bands and working out tunes, through thick and thin. Gaslight Anthem is a band I got in to right after they went on hiatus, so I'm stoked to hear some new stuff, especially when JBJ comes on with the guest spot. Great work sir, thanks for another banger!!!

[@rustedweights]

Any music fan will enjoy this!! Life and song writing advice and a great vibe in this convo! Definitely enjoyed it yall!!

[@SalMonstache]

This is the best interview. It actually talks about song writing in the way I feel every day. The ACTUAL songwriting and mental struggles of creating. Not the version you get from most interviews. Learned a lot and this insight is insanely valuable. Thank you both for creating this. It took some weight off my shoulders.

[@petitpedro]

Awesome interview! Gaslight Anthem is one of my favorite bands of all-time! Hope they can record Farside's "I hope you're unhappy", we need that studio version! It's a shame that it's totally imposible for me to see TGA live someday (I live in Venezuela), but I'm glad they're back, and they're gonna record a new album, all I have to say is THANK YOU GUYS for creating such a powerful music!

[@nickramey5733]

Fallon is the man!! end of story. he's right up there with Reznik and JBJ. Fallon is such a vibe!!

[@mattday2656]

Brian is one of my favourite songwriters of my generation, the whole revival tour scene is rad, but Brian is a standout for me

[@frank-the-tank75]

A little disappointing to see him put on weight. He used to be in shape

[@whalenonfools]

@@frank-the-tank75 he quit smoking and started taking antidepressants, both of which are things that are historically known to lead to weight gain. Also, he's in his mid 40s. He's not a young man anymore. Not that any of this matters.

[@christofferfrostad2626]

I am glad to see the man, the myth, the legend @brian fallon is back with the bois! This can not go wrong ! First positive news in 2023

[@scottlindholm8938]

Great questions and answers! I am eager to experience new Gaslight. Benny is the man. I love his two albums with Mercy Union, another terrific band.

[@PrettyGreenLufc]

This is great! Can't wait for the new Gaslight record

[@213mattman]

Happy new Year everybody! New Gaslight record gonna be great!

[@vernpwns4143]

Brian keeps putting words to my thoughts and feelings. His take on the meaning of life is pretty much how i try to live, even if i never put it in words like that. Greatful for all of it.

[@miera1029]

Happy they took a break when it was needed. Brian is such a great guy. I've been a fan since I was a teen and followed all his work. I'm a bit sad all those tattoos are gone, loved those 😆 .

[@manuelmendez6022]

I noticed that, did he cover them up?

[@ChrisMorenoMusic]

this was gold, thanks guys

[@moseslundwerk7683]

This is just great!

[@tapthephone]

Bronx / Gaslight shows?! Sign me up for all of that

[@samwhite4029]

38:24 I was working on a song once, messing around with lead guitar licks. I figured out this sweet lick and it was amazing but it sounded so familiar and after a couple hours I was like “oh this is forget me not by Brian Fallon” and I was so bummed cuz it fit the song so well. On another note, Brian Fallon is my hero. Handwritten got me through middle school and my first heartbreak. As a musician and a songwriter-aspiring at least-it’s relieving to hear that your heros struggle with in the same craft that you do. Gives you hope, even if it’s only a little, that maybe you can do what you’ve set out to do as an artist

[@lanceforney5321]

Kings of Leon, Walls has some Rad ass songs...

[@DD-mg6fx]

Rad episode! That JBJ story got me! Nice one, Matt + Brian!

[@scottnicoltv]

Great interview

[@melissakennedy3676]

I love the logo drawings

[@almostghosts]

47:03 I’d give anything to hear Brian play an acoustic version of Springtime by Leatherface.

[@georgejur221]

Looking forward to hearing the new tunes. Brian seems like someone I'd hang with in Red Bank years ago... laid back and genuine

[@Larzzydaking]

My 2 fave bands

[@jjerkamillo]

With Pat Kindlon he legitimately writes his lyrics for Drug Church and Self Defense Family like BLHUUUR; he does it all on the spot, in the studio. It's dope. His podcast(s) are dope too, Worst Possible Timeline is a great show. PS: Leatherface fuckin' rocks, hope it heavily influences the new TGA material.

[@gregmalcolm6798]

Only By The Night is the Album I think you guys were talking about by Kings of Leon. Great interview. Can't wait for the new Gaslight Album!

[@213mattman]

Thankyou!

[@Freiheit1232]

I love that they're using Peter Katis as a producer for the new gaslight record.

[@sverremoe4087]

awsome !! :)

[@garyx5x]

Fuck yeah Leatherface! Sunderland ain’t too far from Edinburgh!

It's like 1hr of the same thought ..we got it..then wait for inspiration

[@chrisparker656]

Back to SLC in new tour, please!

[@paulscozzari1787]

Spot-on comments about U2 Brian.

[@eireboss123]

So who exactly did U2 co write with apart from Eno &!Lanois who they’ve always co written with ?

[@paulscozzari1787]

@@eireboss123 Maybe not co-write but producers Ryan Tedder, Danger Mouse, Jacknife Lee

[@eireboss123]

@@paulscozzari1787 working with current producers like Bruce did with Brendan O' Brien

[@emilydanvers2114]

Yooooo your ads bro.

[@meandmyguitars]

Why is Fallon talking like he's from the hood in the 90s.

[@Brandonfrombuffalo]

I tell kids all the great bands like Metallica ...turn into nickel back eventually

[@Waywardification]

If you run around stage and have pyro show...I just feel nowdays you are covering for something that is lacking. There's nothing more powerful than just a singer and a band playing live show. You don't need anything else. If people don't know ABBA...they don't know music. Or The Kelly Family.

[@mrnordjr]

They lost me at jon bon jovi ...

[@213mattman]

haha

[@stefanblois7275]

Surprised he likes Kings Of Leon, they're absolutely terrible.

[@tylerreynolds8832]

First 3 albums are very good, but after that, besides a few songs, you’re basically right lol. Their latest album is one of the biggest bores I’ve ever listened to.

[@Brandonfrombuffalo]

They have one song on each record that's decent..they are horrendous..IDK wtf they got a deal... honestly..

[@lanceforney5321]

Great interview but dude.. Stop paraphrasing every point. I think you spoke more than half of the interview.
