This is my first time watching a Bob Vigna interview. Dude seems super humble

Bob Vigna is a death metal sith lord the way he wields that guitar on stage and belts out those insane thunderous riffs, moving around like he's possessed by the music! One of the greatest guitar players in metal. Everything he has done with Immolation, every full length, every EP, is a majestic and relentless work of death metal art.

Immolation send themselves home on a stretcher brah brah

Immolation is metal royalty & Bob Vigna is a one-of-a-kind instrumentalist & composer, simple as. Close to a World Below, the musical equivalent of all-devouring hellfire through unorthodox guitars & collapsing sacral architecture through inhuman drums. The gold standard for drum-centric metal conveying inhuman force. The magnum opus of post-90's evocative, immersive & idiosyncratic metal. Most surreal part of all, still not sure whether said record has either the best drum performance or is the overall best Immolation record of all (competing with Here In After). A streak of genuine stone cold classics is rare & precious feat in extreme metal. Far beyond wishful thinking, but if only cathartic metal milestones of such caliber were still crafted these days. Smilowski- & Hernandez-era Immolation are eternal. (missed opportunity to ask Bob Vigna for band stories during the 90's along with more of his favorite metal bands & releases plus the biggest influences on Immolation)

J-Dawg being surprised Bob "fits the bill" because he's bald. Lol...what's baldbrah supposed to do, wear a wig on stage?

Seeing Immolation on tour with John McEntee must've been EPIC gotdamnit!

Bob has the best stage moves since Elvis. I saw that 92 tour with Goreaphobia.. he had no stage moves then but he did have nice hair.

I can appreciate the Immolation history lesson here. So far, great interview!

Trey and Bob. The undisputed greatest.

Thanks for the Temu ads, J-Dawg! Now I'm shopping like a millionaire!

Wish the Dawg gets to interview Trey Azagthoth before he kicks the bucket.

Dawn of possession is one of the greatest albums ever made. Period

The goat doesn't age

Love it when the Dawg brings up sports jerseys, sidewards hats, and baggy pants.

Fuck yeah, another great interview from the Dawg. Bob rules!

I like when he said "we're figuring it out..." 30 years later... hails to Bob.

Sloth love Bob Vigna

Justin always does the best most down to earth interviews. You can tell he is really a fan.

got some great videos from the show, but it was great to see you....even for just a little bit. Great interview. That was my 21st time seeing them

Close To A World Below to me if my favorite be all end all Immolation album, start to finish just crushing heaviness and darkness, and not to mention the god damn speed on those drums, some of those beats are like complete spasms, and I love it all.

11:15 Bob Vigna humble as a mofo. This dude is up there with Jeff Becerra in regards to who's the most chill dude I've seen J Dawg interview

Great Interview!! I was at that Grog Shop show, not a bad turnout for Sunday night. I was hoping you would get an interview. Jdawg got the shout out from Ross Dolan on “When Halos Burn”. I stood in front of Bob the during the show - f’n amazing the whole time. Atomic Witch and Castrator were respectable openers too.

Father you're not a Father is IMMOLATION's Hammer Smashed Face.

Saw them in Houston a couple weeks ago, and Bob was loading amps and gear for the opening local band (Corpse Pile) after their set. He’s always seemed like a chill, down to earth dude. The first “real” show I ever saw was Immolation, Cannibal Corpse, Brutal Truth, and Oppressor back in the 90’s. RIP to that venue, The Abyss.

Awesome interview J-Dawg Bob is a great guitar player/performer anyone notice at the end Bob mistaken Cattle Decapitation with cannibal corpse HILARIOUS!

Awesome interview.. .one of the earliest DM bands and cassettes for me (DOP), and my 1st actual concert back in the day w/CC, Brutal Truth and Oppressor...

Rival The Eminent is the song I most want to see them play live

Bob's always been one of my favorite guitar players in DM. He's incredible to watch live, he ferociously attacks his guitar for the entire set. Immolation really is the GOLD standard for DM. Great interview Jdawg, just need to get GB.

Rob Vigna will always be my favorite DM guitarist and will always support Immolation, both times he was very nice and had time to sign my records so that for me personally earned my respect ! Glad he did the interview with you J - Dawg

Very chill dude. I saw him at the Mass Destruction Metal Fest walking around with Ross Dolan checking out the venders and talking to fans. Very down to earth guys.

I'm going to see immolation at first Ave the day this interview dropped. Even more hyped now, thx dawg

One of the finest guitarists in Death Metal, totally unique playing style too.

Awesome interview! Bobs got the moves!!!

Fukkin awesome interview!!!!!! Totally killer!!!!!

Damn, I get an Immolation show and an interview from them with the dawg, all in the same month? What a lucky start to winter.🤘

You are very good at interviews. Quality video.

Great episode right here Dawghammer!

the dawg back with another banger interview

What a great way to start the day. Vigna and Immolation rules! 🤘🤘

Truly I think that the latest Immolation album is one of their best. So many bangers.

Bob is always awesome to watch play live.

This guy writes some of the coolest, most unique riffs in death metal. The way he incorporates dissonance into his writing is so so sick.

Great interview. John McEntee hurt his wrists playing Bob's rhythmic style

holy shit ,bangers left and right !

Another great interview from the Dawg!! Bobby V is THE most innovative guitar hero of Death Metal and Immolation are the greatest DM band to come out of New York.

Try Not To Mention Sports Jersey's and Flat-brimmed Hats Challenge! (IMPOSSIBLE!!)

Saw this tour in Boston last week. Good sh*t!

Always loved Immolations sound. Great people.

Great interview! I could see Erik Rutan doing an interview with the Dawg as well

So cool 🔥🔥🔥🔥 seen immolation at mass destruction fest last November

I used to write to this guy a lot back in the mid 90's during that long pause in-between the first and second album. Immolation seemed like a forgotten band at that time but I was still totally into their first album, so I wrote to them not even sure if they were still together or not. One particular letter I got from him I still remember fondly was one where he recommended the band Luciferion to me, and soon after I got the "Demonication" CD and loved it. I had high hopes and expectations for the "Here In After" CD, and even though I wouldn't say I "disliked" it upon hearing it for the first time, it was clear to me that their sound and style was changing. I guess I consider that record to be kind of a bridge between the old Immolation and what they would eventually evolve into being. I did buy the next couple CD's after that, but at some point I realized that this just wasn't quite the same band that I used to love; they had moved on. I respect them for never selling out though, although I must say I always found that logo change to be deplorable and highly suspicious...I kind of wish you had asked him about that - maybe next time??

Seeing them today in Minneapolis! You always do this Jdawg… it must just line up when they stop in Ohio and get to Minnesota. Day I saw Toxic Holocaust you uploaded the Joel interview. I’ll be sporting my Hell’s Headbangers hoodie at the show tonight.

the classic rock reference was funny as heck... thanks for being real

Physical music, no poser digital!

Bob Vigna and Ross Dolan are just so professional, and seem like really good guys.

Bob Vigna is the man! Great person and guitar 🎸 player too.

I swear man there are so many cool guys in Death Metal and Bob seems cool as hell

Bob is my favorite guitarrist of Death metal. The first 5 albums of Immolation are piece of art of unholy Death metal.

My favorite guitarist... Totally worth 4 commercials... Bob rules..

Immolation have always been Badass.

Master of riffs!

I like all 4 of the Immolation albums Dawn of Possession, Here in After, Failures For Gods, and Close to a World Below. I know and own all their other albums, aside from the latest release. I just noticed a change in the sound that began with Close to a World Below, but the slick production actually worked on that album. I think Majesty and Decay was the best of their post 2000 albums. All of them have their moments, I just prefer the rougher sound, especially the Vocals on their early material

I still love that first Rigor Mortis 86' demo.

Bob Rules! One of the nicest and hardest working dudes in Metal

Bob laughed at the sup devils lol

J dawg almost shit a brick when bob said he didn't like 90s death metal but likes blood incantation 😂

Ima see Immolation in Los Angeles on the 15th Yuh

Awesome interview. ...I don't really listen to any Immo' after the first album except for Providence (the second demo is a timeless masterpiece; Neal Boback, and the production, RULES!!!), even though I still go to their shows; but, with that said, I have nothing but utter and complete respect for these gentlemen. Top Shelf, class act. ...Eternal Gods of Death Metal. ...I do hope No Forgiveness (without bloodshed) makes the setlist next time they play Pittsburgh. :)

The Dawg acts like a school girl when he interviews one he has a crush on

This rules. Thanks J Dawg

Came across an old Profanatica band photo where you can see a couple of the member's wangs. Guy in the middle was hung like a squirrel. Anyone know which one in that photo was Paul Ledney? Asking for a friend

Immolation is legendary 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

11:04 Justine the fashion police 👮‍♀️ 💅

Nice try J Dawg, I believe Immolation as many of us do care less about who is a poser who is not, great interview congratulations. Hey yes that guitar solo in Nailed to Gold is one of the best ever across all genders of music.

Not a fan of immolation but appreciate it. Wish u would’ve asked em more about other bands.

Gonna watch this later when i can but hell yea🤙☝️

Atonement was great, best since unholy cult. When the Jackals come is fukkin amazing and that apocalyptic ending still gives me euphoric goosebumps.

Waaaoww it's not a Don of the dead Interview 😱

Just saw them live last night in chicago and they killed it🔥🤘🏻🫡great interview

That’s cool. The other original member of Immolation.

Yall devils probably know that Vigna wrote the best riff on Onward to Golgotha, “Unholy Massacre”

Just saw him on Cattle Decaps tour with a bunch of ppl the dawg hates 🤣 j-dawg would shit his pink panties with rage if he knew Sanguisugabogg throws a football into the pit. We hate having fun at metal shows!

Immolation rule!

Back with another interview to the repertoire, the Don of the Dead calling card is wearing thin these days.

Immolation and Goreaphobia wow!

Why is there ads

Wish the Dawg gets to interview Pat O'brien

It is all about that first Immolation brah, brah.

It was sick when they played Higher Coward last weekend in Toronto.

Morning brothers!!! 💀 🔥 💀 😎 ☕ 👍

It says Bob is guest session guitars on Peace Thru Tyranny

I remembeh yeew with that wicked weeyd head of yaaas

What band was the worst at changing their set lists? I'm gonna go with Slayer.

Immolation always top fucking tier

Failures For Gods is an epic album, but the scene didn't like the production. I am glad it is considered a classic now. Horns up, Bob!

You can tell he’s an Italian always talking with his hands.😂

Finally, a break from bad take Spongedawg and a breath of fresh air for interviews. But bitching aside Bob must be the most humble guitarist in death metal ever next to John McEntee. Very down to earth guy and I can hear this guy talk about music for hours.

Hey J DAWG what do you think of the last album of panapticon ? Rime of memory , pretty amazing stuff

Also, Bob, there were bands from your era that took what you did and near perfected it, Infester, Insatanity's first, drawn and quartered, but I get it, Paul Riedl probably paid you for that drop, him and his communist hair, cuh it sho is russian to tha back!

cool mf i would love to meet bob someday
