1:34 Combining rap and rock/metal in a tasteful way 2:20 POD kinda had a different sound before Sonny joined, growing up in rock family then drifted his personal interest to reggae 3:34 POD was formed in 1992 4:11 Identified punk music as white music 6:16 Finding his faith and digging into it after he lost his Mom 9:39 Sonny joined the band kinda on the fly then developed it into something that helped him change something in him 11:06 Getting into music without race barriers? 13:11 Sonny loves to have black and brown people at his shows 14:46 Merging rap and rock kinda just happened because that's what they listen to 16:22 POD was indie from 92 til 99, signed in 99 to Atlantic, pushed it independently to the fullest until they decided to get a label 18:11 Earning their stripes in San Diego then opening for bigger bands little by little 19:33 "Nu Metal" term kinda just appeared coz of the way bands dressed, baggy pants, looking like rappers kinda 20:45 Being compared to Bodycount at the beginning, then Rage Against The Machine 22:08 Zach de la Rocha previous band and rap mix with metal 24:00 POD actually got signed in the early 90s 25:15 Labels on "Nu Metal" signing spree based on Korn and Limp Bizkit success? 26:00 POD was never really pushed by the label until they went platinum on their own because of their fans, then the label paid attention 29:55 Incorporating more singing, trying new things, grow musically 31:06 Being inspired by Method Man and Mary J Blige "All I Need" then Nas feat Lauryn Hill 33:24 Label kinda tried to have them work with songwriters 35:24 "Alive" was a special moment in their career 39:39 "Alive" being that one song that helped people in so many ways 42:33 Performing "Alive" never gets old and still get that feeling: "Still blows my mind" 45:48 POD was always pushing themselves, went platinum then the label started to show interest 48:46 The stigma of music stamped as "christian" 50:50 How they ended up being put in the "christian band" box 52:58 Sonny's beliefs stemming from his family dynamic 55:06 The temptations of the rock star life 57:10 The pressure of being "perfect" all the time 58:41 POD church performance for kids got interrupted because their sound was too heavy 1:02:05 Artists are not as involved in causes like they used to 1:02:53 Sonny knew about No Jumper because Danny Diablo's interview 1:04:01 When someone has a belief in a band, the whole band is identified as such even if it's only one member 1:07:04 Experimenting with new songs, not chasing hits, just making music 1:08:16 Looking at other bands to create the perfect radio single format 1:09:13 The "Boom" video 1:11:56 "Labels are designed to keep the artists in debt" 1:14:14 The group was on the up and up until a tiny disagreement amongst them, then the label just stopped pushing them 1:21:06 Going through phases as a band but they maintained their brotherhood no matter what 1:23:37 "Labels might not really push you if you don't listen to their advice" 1:24:12 POD still has the same original line up since the beginning! 1:28:37 Going on tour when you have kids 1:30:41 Dreadlocks, fans touching them without asking 1:32:43 Sonny's faith and the band's 1:35:39 POD members with side projects, other bands 1:37:35 The quality of music, no one sounded like the next band back then 1:39:39 "Jesus Christ" loll 1:40:38 Kids nowadays don't event take the time to do their musical homework or pay homage 1:43:51 What Sonny listening to these days, reggae roots type of music, Deftones, Rage

[@davemonster2]

Name these metal bands that have wicked gimicks that cant play?! Where are these bands?! Is he is talking smack about Ghost, or Ice Nine Kills or Gwar?! Like where are these bands! Nah you feel off in the metal word because your a Christian . Your false god has no place in this world. Nah you cant make in the metal world faking your craft like you can in hip hop. What a joke.

[@davemonster2]

Also Adam bands have had chick base players and singers for that whole reason for a loooooooong time x'D

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

@@davemonster2 someone is in their feelings. One of those bands you mentioned has really weak vocals. I will let you figure out who I am talking about. There is most certainly posturing in rock music just like there is in hip hop. It’s just done in a different way with different motivations behind it. I think the whole Christian slant bolstered P.O.D. sales. It never appeared to me that religion was having a negative impact on sales.

This is legendary man. For the fans older than 16, you know the impact POD had!

[@Delta-Music92]

Big truth! P.O.D and Linkin Park was my absolute favorite. P.O.D Was real and had real lyrics talkin about real sh*t. I feel bad for this generation because they won't have music with pain or depth. All they will know is lil pump, drugs, and bs snowflake topics in their music planted by labels and millions of dollars behind it. Sad really

[@leoaguayo7309]

I'm 40 yrs old...I remember them back in '91- 92 handling it....and before for you youngsters!! Seen them at the palace off the south town album in L.A.... them homies bad! Tore it up with living sacrifice and project 86!!! Cool homies man!! Love brothers!!!!!

I gotta shout out no jumper. Sonny has done mad interviews and Adam is the first that actually had a conversation with Sonny rather than asking the same boring ass questions other interviewers have in the past. Well done. Great interview!

[@50shadesofShay.]

Sonny still fine 😍. POD. Incubus, 311, Deftones, Papa Roach, SOAD, Seven Dust, Red hot chili peppers and Korn bring back some of my best child hood memories. The late 90's and early 2000's were timeless. Great interview!

[@jordanbenson2980]

Papa Roach are the only ones garbage now, but I agree

[@viciousdope66]

Papa Roach are a badass band. It’s sad that some people haven’t sat and listened to their first album, “Infest.” It’s a classic. At a certain point every band is gonna put out something that people don’t like.

[@Delta-Music92]

@Robert Simon 100%. Music is like a time machine honestly. I love how it brings people together. I was just a kid living in Western NC getting lost in my headphones not really knowing what the rest of the world was about or where life would take me at that time. Thank you for sharing bro and hope things are going good for you. A little toast to our younger selves, cheers

Sleeping Awake was godly...man I miss Jason Truby😩. Self-titled my favorite album.

I still listen to that and Slipknot 😊

[@bloodofredmoon]

Still jamming POD in my 30s and I started listening when I was about 12. Got to see them live in concert back in 2013 and it was one of the best shows I had ever been to. The amount of energy they brought to the stage was absolutely unmatched. Can't wait to hear more!

[@thenightmare92]

Youngsters don’t realize the impact this man & his band P.O.D. Had on the nu-metal game. Even though I don’t follow any religion, they made it cool for Christian’s to listen to hard rock. Satellite will forever be a classic record.

[@MultiStar84]

Imaging Adam bringing head or fieldy from Korn on here, could definitely see that

[@davemonster2]

Now thats some interviews i want to see!!!

Ya, after this, it would make sense to get Brian in here.

Appreciate Adam bringing this interview

[@jacksonmade3667]

Man look. Shouts out to No Jumper, but shouts out to the OG Sonny man! I’m not a usual watcher but I looked up an interview with POD and this popped up. I appreciate Sonny for never switching up, and really setting the tone for Christ in music. Never hid the message, never made anyone feel less than, and stayed consistent. Still an example to me, even in my music today. POD is timeless!

[@haymack87]

Great comment! Couldn’t agree more!

[@Leah-cm9vd]

I loved this interview. P.O.D. helped me through my teenage years when I didn't know who I was or what I wanted to be. They are definitely been a big part of who I am today in my faith. My husband took me to a show recently solely because he knew I loved them and he left a big fan as well. They are all true to who they are and it shows. Very humble and amazing band.

[@salvadorcid46]

KUDOS to Adam for this interview. I wasn't the biggest fan of No Jumper at the beginning but Adams interview skills have become top notch. Best interview Sonny has ever been apart of.

[@Sciencef1ction]

Arguably Adams Best interview in years! Opposing viewpoints coming together and meshing picture perfectly, held together by a consistent flow of conversation

[@JuanLZavala]

POD and Linkin Park are still my favorite bands to this day yet I’ve only seen POD live, 3 times. I’ve visited San Diego 3 times because of them and I’ve visited the Tribal store there because of them. Sonny truly has a humble heart and a great example for the rest of us that grew up in the church system.

" Hook like and sinker. I was sold . I loved Forever both Heavey Metal namely "Metallica " . Always loving rap too. Then POD hit the scene many years later with the song "Alive " another love affair with great music began. Adam you are a great journalist.

[@alexanderromero293]

I remember that I was so shocked and excited to see them

[@codemang7010]

Cool interview. "Alive" is a great song. It's ambiguous nature really lends itself to the listener to think about who/what makes you feel alive. For Sonny, that would be his mother. Her spirit and the support of those who care about him, gave him reason to become his best self. The song "Full Color" touches on this topic quite intensely and also fun. I think some demons were being released for sure. Music is medicine for the soul.. Anyone that's only heard the hits should check out any album by them. They are such incredibly gifted people.

Shout out to my California sisters and brothers. The effect this man’s music had on my city of San Diego back in the early 2000’s is legendary. POD, Mixmob, Limb Bizket, Saliva, Korn, Linken Park, 311, TOOL, Incubis, Deftones, and so many other bands are such big parts of my upbringing. God what a time to be alive. Back when skateboarding was cool and spiking your hair was the style.
