His wheezing laugh is so comforting, I don’t know how to explain it.

“I’m down to play a rhombus”

Never realized how much Kurt reminds me of David Harbour

This guy is the hardcore dad I never knew I needed until right now ❤

I always love listening to Kurt speak. Comes off very passionate and knowledgeable.

His voice is so comforting.

The tunnel system is pretty cool. I believe you can find a tour of it, but it was originally built by merchants when Salem was a major sea port used for trading in order to get around paying duties and taxes. I think it was later used during the underground railroad as a stop to help get escaped slaves to Canada, and then was used later during prohibition to smuggle liquor. My mom use to work as a home health aid for a guy who was a kid during prohibition and has since passed but either he or his wife would tell her stories from when he was a kid about the cops sending the kids home around dusk so the boats could off load the liquor down around the Willows, though that might have been for the concert hall that use to be at the willows.

18:27 did Kurt Ballou of Converge fame say he's been to the backrooms? Crazy

Babe, wake up, it’s hardlore time

This whole thing is amazing and hilarious. Thank you bruhs.

Who else looked up tabs for The Saddest Day while watching this

My band once covered The Saddest Day at a show, circa 2000ish, without trying to learn it at all and it actually sounded pretty good.

This was an awesome episode haha

I wasn't much of believer either, Kurt, then as the kids say, I fu$&ed around and found out. The spiritual realm exists is all I'm saying.

super funny chat, seem like good dudes

kurt is so nerdy i love it

“The band is called… With Honor” - Kurt Ballou, maybe 2:21

This was good fun.

this was cool

Nice. Shared.

Hell yeah

it's hardlore chat time

only thing spooky about that building is the weird bump in the wood-floor. Had me watching my every step ;^)

13:00 Lol at Colin's face twitching. The man's a born performer.

the saddest day question is a misquote haha someone asked dalbec how to play kurts part at the beginning of the song and dalbec said 'i have no idea'

More Weight guy is called Giles Corey

Pretty sure the band from CT he was speaking about editing in when he remembers was Jerome’s Dream. I think.

3:34 this “omg”

1:44 theres a ghost in the window behind Kurt

Shout out to Backstabbers Inc!

Q: "How do you play The Saddest Day?" A: "ask Channel"

Can anybody elaborate the Metro penthouse story? Obviously its the one in Chicago because Kurt mentions the FB. And the FB has some wild back ways and crazy inter structure built before modern ball return and automatic pin reset. So they have so much room no longer needed and its a ghost town. If you go there, the are jerks. Take a pic of the outside and the sign, but the bro vibe inside will kill that time you saw Refused there. Its that bad. They tried doing shows again. But it was like a Taco Tuesday type gimic. Brian Peterson did a decent job of booking great shows. So good that I almost forgive him for overpaying his friends bands and shafting the others. Which he did not so long ago booking at another establishment. The details are Hallmark channel worthy. Sorry for the jaded rant, but would love to hear about GnR and the penthouse above the Metro.

Haha cheddar pump

His voice sounds like Rick Rubin

Jeromes Dream?

Nu-crust lol

Ngl I thought this podcast had a whack name so I didn’t want to give it a chance but damn these two guys are the sweetest ❤ I’m a fan now

why is this on knotfest, does he mix their live sound?

After Spiritual Violence, you might need some Spiritual Healing.

23:00 Giles Corey
