[@chrisbruchak4519]

@@ALLforROME tbch, this whole thing is kinda goofy. The dudes a known asshole and has rage fits cause of the roids. Every single person that joined the band knew this. They wanted a piece of the as i lay dying pie because it does better numbers than any band they've played in and they wanted it without dealing with the drama that comes with it. If they didnt wanna deal with the yelly muscle man, they could've joined wovenwar. Oh wait... Nobody listened to wovenwar or even knew it was a thing that existed. Idk why its so hard to separate the personal from the professional. Write and play music together and go back to your regular life. Screw the feelings.

Its unquestionable to me at that point that they play a much larger role in this than tim ever did.

[@winchell42069]

Oh Lordy Lordy. What a time to be a fan

[@pleasuretokill]

I saw this show also in Phx, AZ but it was far from my first. My first was 10 years earlier. Im old lol. I first saw In Flames in 2000 twice. They were my fave band from 1997-2002

[@chrissgardiner]

@@pleasuretokill It's hard for me to remember if that was indeed my first metal show or not. I really think it was. But I also remember seeing Static-X a handful of times back in the early 2000s so it's a bit skewed. The Freddy vs Jason Soundtrack was my introduction to just about every band on that bill strangely enough and SO many of my favorite bands still to this day. Killswitch Engage with Howard's first contribution with the band "When Darkness Falls". In Flames' "Trigger" was the first song by them I'd ever heard. Chimaira's "Army of Me". Great soundtrack, great bands, great show.

[@DrummerAndyTaiwan]

Dude, let me tell you guys a interesting story here, so when they came to my country Taiwan in 2013 I had the live DVD that I was going to get them signed but failed, I was so disappointed, right after they finished the show and got back to US Tim got arrested, and the rest is history. Fast forward to early 2020 before the pandemic hit they did the “reunion” tour in Asia and came to my country Taiwan again, I was beyond excited, the show promoter is my good friend so I got a chance to interview Tim in person, they’re all half joking about Tim saying that he’s a big guy and scary by the things he did, but we sat down and had a great conversation about 20 mins and he is polite and friendly, then I finally got the DVD along with 3 LP records signed by the full members, plus I was also the drum tech for Jordan on that show, I kinda feel that the line up wasn’t going to last long so I grab the chance to get all my stuff signed, I have picture to prove on my Instagram if you scroll down to that time. Anyway AILD will forever be one of my biggest influences and favorite bands since I discovered them in my high school years, that’s pre KZbin age, I went to yahoo music and click on metal/rock genre to see the chart almost everyday, that’s how I found Through Struggle MV and got into the band, thanks for the memory guys, love from Taiwan 🇹🇼

[@НикитаКостылев-ь8к]

[@Kjertinge]

This was a 10/10 podcast man. I understand people may not like Tim and probably never will. However I think it also shows what kind of people we are if we aren't willing to give someone else a second chance. The man has done his time, has made an effort to help others not go down the same path. You don't have to like the man Tim was, but hopefully one day you can like the man he became. I just don't see the point in constantly bringing up someone's lowest moment over and over again as if these fans were victims themselves. Why not appreciate that someone who's done prison time and is striving to make amendments and help others, instead of constantly shitting on them? I hope people like Tim can help inspire other inmates to do the same and find a cause after prison. Cause our system won't.

[@jamesross9724]

didnt he try to have his wife murdered?

[@Kjertinge]

​@@jamesross9724 Yep, but luckily nobody was harmed. He paid his time in prison, and has been working on being a new man. You dont have to like him, but some of us show empathy for someone who has wronged, and is on the right path of life. He made amends with his ex wife, his band mates and he paid his dues. Why not show compassion to someone who is trying to be a better human being and helping others not do the same thing.

[@anthonyfrombelow]

He ain't honorable. He attempted murder. He got caught, and frankly, got off light. He's nothing to admire. Real men don't hurt women, much less try to murder them. He's a pussy, who's earned tits to match.

[@tristanmatheny2361]

​@@anthonyfrombelowYou are posting a ton of reply comments on this video to everyone who shows even the smallest amount of support for Tim. Don't you have a life to live? Why not just ignore Tim, and pretend he doesn't exist if it offends you so much that people are willing to give him a second chance? Just because people support Tim doesn't mean they don't condone his heinous crime of solicitation to murder his ex-wife. You can be judged for past mistakes, learn, and try to become a better person. Not everyone who does wrong will, but I have witnessed said positive change in my own family as I had someone go through something similar. It took me a long time to accept what my family member did, but eventually I was able to learn acceptance, and spread love. It just takes maturity to understand that everyone makes mistakes some of them more serious than other's. Some of them unforgivable. I personally don't forgive Tim's prior actions, but I do believe that he has made a consistent attempt to change for the better. I hope that you never do anything that hurts another person physically, mentally, or spiritually because you obviously lack compassion or any ounce of forgiveness regardless of context, reason, or logic. So it wouldn't be paid forward on your end.

Definitely hit a spot when talking about insurance not covering therapy. That is needed now more than ever in society, and it should not be limited to just “10 visits, then it is on you until next year.” A lot of people really need it. These aren’t bad people, they just need some help from therapists to find out why they do things and how to be able to function properly. I am grateful for therapy, and not ashamed to admit I go. Also, first episode I came upon, you got a new fan! Thanks to you and Tim for taking the time and putting this out🤘🏻😈🤘🏻

[@PonchoVonRichtor]

​​@@edyann Exactly. I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to find this comment lol. There's a reason why everyone except Phil left the fucking band. It's obvious that they see through his bullshit and decided they couldn't do it for the money anymore. Like it or not, AILD sells tickets and I'm sure that was the number one reason why they decided to bring him back, because they were all financially fucked. It amazes me how people think that the guy who spent quite some time planning to have his wife snuffed out couldn't just keep on lying and manipulate the narrative and his surroundings in order to keep his career afloat. He's gonna do and say whatever he needs in order to keep the AILD cash cow mooing. And I say all of this as a longtime fan since 2006. It sucks big time, but we seem to be in the minority of people that can't trust this guy anymore.

[@joelpears5506]

Yet another great conversation. During the incarceration segment it just felt like Chris just wanted to give Tim a big hug

[@mrs_death_metal_]

I would've.

[@darrenhill3514]

I like what Tim says about incarceration not being anything therapeutic and it needs to be talked about because if you send someone to prison for 3 or 10 or 20 years even, that person will get out at some point so what has the prison process as a whole done during that time to correct and rehabilitate that persons behavior? Sounds like next to nothing as I don't think fear of going back is enough sometimes (as Tim also stated in reference to gang members)

[@anoceanbetweenus89]

👏🏻 Couldn’t have said it any better. Our system and the culture of America is to only punish. Problem is, punishing someone doesn’t fix the issue and doesn’t teach them the skills they need to be a better person in society. In fact, for most people it only makes it worse. Without interventions that focus to correct the core issues, it’s just a vicious cycle that can’t be broken. You can hate the crime the person did, have compete disapproval of that person’s choices, but still be a fan of wanting to see them change and grow into someone who helps rather than hurts people.

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

@@anoceanbetweenus89 people don’t want to fix the issues. It’s easier for most people to kick the problems under the rug and continue to hate others for their mistakes.

[@diemcarl5546]

So true, speaking of different era (recording standards and techniques, etc); that's why my threshold is around 2015 now, cuz the sound's changed so much. But (!!) some recordings are out of time regardless, one of those are AILD old albums ❤ for sure, pure classics

[@journavhazarika1651]

This band introduced me to metalcore scenes🤘🤘🤘🤘.....

[@mikeyhodge6191]

This was a great convo! Cheers to you for having Tim on

[@Errcyco]

It’s rare in life to get anyone as genuinely into bands and their music as Garza is. I’m 37 and I’ve only met one person who lived and breathed music like me and unfortunately we don’t talk anymore. And Tim’s crazy work ethic is what got them signed to Metal Blade. Say what you will but dude ram the band like a manager and took them from a garage to filled venues in Europe.

[@MetalBaller83]

I’ll throw in a completely unrelated comment; specifically about Chris’ sponsors: EMG pickups are absolutely my favorite pickups as well. I played the 81/85 combo on my old Dean, and I loved them. I hot-rodded my Schecter C1+ with the EMG JH set, and holy shit, that thing turned into a fire breathing beast. #emgpickups are my choice!

[@PrestonGraff]

I'm checking out Falling Cycle now, man that band is awesome. I'm surprised I never checked it out before. Definitely early AILD vibes.

[@slamdangles]

oooooh my god I'm so glad for this comment lol they sound hella oldschool!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

[@srsucioguapodelsur8845]

Everyone was cop’n that At the Gates vibe back then, but FC were one of the better more obscure ones to do it

[@carlosl3652]

Just looked them up, found an Album, not a single skip on it!

[@eternallife9786]

It's absolutely amazing to see Tim's transformation as a guy who has spent most of his childhood and early adulthood in and out of correction facilities my heart goes out to this man

[@mafiakickproductions]

My favourite live performance by far is still when Tim did wake up with you guys at the memorial show 🙏🤘❤️🖤

[@codingtranquility]

"Sat there in a cell thinking how did I become this person", I feel that. I went through the same thing. Even now I have a hard time forgiving myself for who I became, and how I have to approach every friendship/work relationship/relationship with the added weight of people finding out what I did and what I went through. I don't want to be known as the ex-con, or guy with a criminal record, and when most people I meet find out that I have a checkered past, they have a hard time believing who I was at that period in my life.

[@MICKSHRED]

I know how you feel, I too battle with myself daily.

[@Chrisisplays]

Welcome to consequences of your own actions. Enjoy and stop feeling sorry for yourself, like the people you hurt did.

[@ericXruthless]

AILD has had such a major impact on my life both as a teen and as an adult. That impact continues to this day. Also, as a recovering alcholic/addict, Misery Evolving is very relevant and impactful as well. Thanks for this content, Chris and Tim!!! Much love from Ohio!!! 💪 R.I.P. Mitch Lucker

[@theonewhoknocks2835]

We all fall, Tim fell very hard, hoping the best for not only him to become better, but all of us to progress and always become a better person. No choice but to always try to do better.

[@joseayala1394]

First time watching this podcast, easily the heaviest podcast out there hell yeah, Garza becoming a much better podcaster right on

[@WillPhoto]

amazing interview Garza, your for sure not scared to ask deep cutting question, salute 🫡

[@kboutdoorspnw3147]

11:55-12:00 what he just said right there rings so true! In the early 00’s I was still into 80’s thrash and 90’s metal. Couldn’t stand any other genre with any sort of extreme vocals. But then for whatever reason. I fell in love wit AILD. And eventually harsh vocals in general. If it wasn’t for AILD. I wouldn’t have ever discovered Metalcore or any other sub-genre that popped up during that time.

[@kboutdoorspnw3147]

Also, hearing what Tim had to say about this new wave of Metalcore and Wage War. I thought that funny. Because I grew up with traditional Metalcore. But I’m really digging this new wave. I’ve listened to yak since Shadows. And know/love both AILD and WW 😂

[@richardsmith7322]

I’m glad I grew up on these metalcore years KSE, AILD Unearth etc. so many good songs

[@thebigdirty2107]

Props to Tim for taking accountability and being open about his whole situation. To be fair, I don’t think people necessarily hate him. I believe they’re just hurt and disappointed for what he did.

[@unemployed23]

I’ve seen firsthand that Tim is the real deal. We have a mutual friend that is an insane drummer, awesome father, but spiraled back into drug addiction when his ex used our disgusting system to rip his daughter away from him. Tim was right there, right away, sending him care packages and providing support. From what I’ve seen, he’s the real deal.

[@hotwatermusic_]

except for the whole hiring a hitman thing

[@kevg1869]

Nice comment, Tim.🙄

[@shaun_177]

Still listen to As I Lay Dying to this day. First heard them when I was 14 and now I'm 33. Love these guys.

[@4thr634]

Garza was so uncomfortable when introing the segment about the incarceration. You can tell from his beating around the bush (understandably so) and his reframing of the context surrounding the delivery. This is a human who has exceptional interpersonal skills and cares deeply for others. If he didn’t, he would have simply asked the question and not cared about the response (whether it was positively or negatively received by Tim). I have found so much respect for this podcast. God Bless garza.

[@nightfire12]

Very good interview. As a big fan of AILD, must say I even like Tim more now..very intelligent and down to earth guy. Looking forward to the next album😎

[@ifonlyone5645]

Awesome conversation thank you guys, praying for both of you! Thank you for the conversation loved it

[@captainshiner42]

"Praying"? Praying to what, exactly?

[@jfcooking]

AILD is on fire while Tim is on it. Love his other projects as well. Keep it up 🔥🤘🎸🖤

[@corycenter782]

This sucked me in. I love AILD. I havent listened to them in a while. Thanks for being vulnerable Tim. My dad always says that every man gets knocked down it's how he picks himself up that matters. If anyone can't see that your trying to repent from your past I don't know how they could read this.

[@ronthorn3]

I saw Josh play for Spiritbox on wed in Portland, god dam, it was fucking amazing. Such a good show.

[@americanlostinvietnam3721]

Every man alive is capable doing what Tim did. I don't pretend that it's not inside somewhere. Examining myself honestly, as all men should, makes me realize how vulnerable I am to the same things. To condemn Tim is to condemn myself. We are all prone.

[@JangoMike]

Awesome to see you guys having a conversation. Nice work cuz

[@AmericanDischord]

Great Interview. I think it's time for Tim to finally bury the bad times and memory hole all that stuff. I got to catch AILD in Tucson a while back when this latest tour began and they were great. Good times ahead. Very interested to see what new material AILD decides to put out with the new line-up and even Tim's side projects.

[@briangordon260]

Great Interview Chris.. Much Respect to Tim for owning his mistakes...

[@loganscarborough1368]

Tim your doing great things! You are loved and you are a good person despite your past. Keep looking forward!

[@ZacharyBaldivia]

This was great Thx Garza for having Tim AILD is and always will be one of my favorite bands cheers guy's

[@prestoncassise4813]

First time seeing this podcast...I myself played in an epic death metal band many moons ago...went on to tour in a nu-metal band, while writing metal core , then putting it all down to raise my sons. I picked it back up when the country we t on lock down ,im back to me once again...the subjects on this podcast were very good, I really enjoyed listening to musicians talking about their experiences with writting and recording ,touring , the thinking process etc... really great!

[@jgworkman]

I recently started listening to Born Through Fire but questioned some of the lyrics. I thought he was being prideful about his rise out of the ashes. After listening to this, I was wrong. Tim is a humble man and is on a journey navigating through the pain to restoration. God is still doing a work in you Tim. Praying for you brother.

[@greywar1224]

I’ll never forget smoking with Mitch and a few others on y’all’s tour bus back in April of ‘09. It was on the music as a weapon tour with Distrubed and Killswitch. An amazing memory. RIP Mitch. So glad I found your podcast Chris! Thank you!

[@greywar1224]

I was one of the bands from Arkansas that opened the show. It was such an amazing experience getting to play the same stage on the same day as you guys.

I saw this guys in a christian cafe in El Paso Tx, 23 years ago. It was me and 10 other people. probably one of the most memorable concerts in my life🤘

[@shugghead8538]

Glad to see many positive comments here. Addiction can be a crazy and selfish thing, and that played a huge role in Tim's bad decisions. It's important to let people prove they can change. It really looks like he is.

[@DamnDealDone]

Addiction was a poor excuse for being caught arranging for his wife to be murdered.
