The Downbeat Podcast - Josh Middleton (Sylosis)

8 ай бұрын

My guest this week is guitarist and frontman of Sylosis, and one of my personal oldest friends Josh Middleton. We talked about their latest album A Sign Of Things To Come but mostly about growing up together (including his CRAIG REYNOLDS DOS AND DONTS sign for his room), a killer Anthony Kiedis impression, touring with Metallica, and much more. We also make eachother cry laugh at least twice. This episode is also the first episode on the new cinema cameras, thanks to the Patreon for making that possible.

The edit “and we’re back” after trying not to laugh with a mouthful of soda was because I had to run to the bathroom because it started coming out of my nose

I LOOOOOOVE SYLOSIS I just remembered... it must have been 8 years ago, I went to a Sylosis concert and Josh was selling merch... I was so starstruck! Josh was soo nice and calm while I was shaking soooo hard, I just could not take a stable picture. So it made me shake even more lol thankfully a helpful stranger took my phone and took the picture for me 😂 I still wear those T-shirts 😊 Edit: reading my comment again and I sound insane 😅

Conclusion of an Age is Sylosis' best record they've ever made imo. Riffs for days, lots of melody, amazing solos, great vocals. Josh will probably disagree with me haha. Even though I love Josh's vocals on every release since then, Jamie is a mega talent on the mic too haha.

Cringing my way through the "what to say to your heroes" bit because I met Josh earlier this year and the ability to form coherent sentences just left. That's an odd sensation for a man in his 30s. He must have thought I was on day release. Anyway, solid podcast, enjoyed it!

@Buckers2202 7 ай бұрын

Great chat! Totally felt the same around 43 mins when Josh talked about listening to something and it making you question what you'd done if it's different. One minute I could be listening to Testament and think I wanna do thrash then listen to KoRn and accept that actually I do like nu metal no matter what the elitists say! I guess the best thing to take away is if you like it, doesn't matter just embrace it
