Ross “You Know” Dolan

lol JDawg died inside when Ross said Mental Funeral is one of his favorites.

Ross is authentic as they come. Saw them on their latest tour and they still bring it

You can tell Ross is really invested in what he’s talking about. Shows he’s actually really into this shit and shows he’s one of true ones. Most entertaining interview yet, Keep it up!

Close to a world below is awesome, the lyrics, the hooks, the riffs, the dissonance, its a masterpiece

Ross has a great voice. Extremely unique. Easy to differentiate from other low growling vocals.

I dated Ross 91-96.. i can honestly say, he's definitely a great & very humble! Never heard him say a bad thing about anyone! Have remained friends, until today!

Was waiting for the DOG to totally murder the two people that couldn't resist walking in front of the camera!!! Ross is the Boss!!! Down to earth and super dedicated to Immolation.

Dawn of Possession still brings me back to the good old days! Ross and the boys never missed a beat through the years! Respect!

This interviews keep on getting better and better. From corpsegrinder to Jeff Becerra and now Ross. Can’t wait to see who’s next. 🤘

FUCK YEAH!!! Immolation has never put out junk. I like and own everything they ever put out. Everytime they are around I go see them. Great interview J Dizzle

Immolation are one of the GOAT'S of death metal. The quality run of albums from dawn of possession to unholy cult is unmatched by any other band in the genre

Ross is the man! Real down to earth guy. Bumped into him and talked to him twice. Met him at a King Diamond show in NYC back in like 2014 (Immolation werent on the bill that night unfortunately). He went as a fan, was pretty cool. While we were talking I remember a few other metal heads recognized Ross and Bob and were bowing to him, and Ross shouts out to them "Hey man dont bow down to us, the King is inside!!" Was pretty humbling and cool, him and Bob Vigna even signed my King Diamond ticket for me. Met him again at the Cannibal Corpse show in Albany last year. They were on tour with Dark Funeral. Ross talked to my buddy and I for like a good 20 min. Immolation is not only one of the best DM bands in existence, but theyre also really cool dudes and will give you the time of day 😊

This interview is nailed to gold!

Was just listening to Failures for Gods. One of my favorites of theirs for sure. Ross is a great dude for sure and it translates here for sure.

Ross is a down to earth, nice fella who shoots straight from the hip and doesn't put on any airs. It's people like him that make death metal a good fit for people like me.

Fuck yeah, super chill guy. Love the demo talk, sure a hell lot more interesting than "how's the tour going?"

One of my favorite Death Metal bands of all time. There newer albums are really good and they haven't released a bad album throughout their career which is something you can't say about most Death Metal bands or bands in general. Good interview.

Ross is the man, one of my all time favourite bands. Killer interview. Nice shout-out to Phobocosm, too. Saw them at a Dark Descent show some years back with Adversarial and Sortilegia...badass gig.

The dawg has been delivering lately.

This interview just validates what I've been telling J-Dawg about Ross and Immolation for a long time. Ross is still very involved in metal, and his passion is as intense as ever! This was as good as I expected it to be.

Ross is so cool, him and Vigna hung out with a buddy and I for a hour just talking about other metal bands, history, and life! These guys will just talk to fans endlessly (as long as your not the drunk old man who isnt saying anything interesting)

Excellent interview Justin!!! Great hearing you and Ross talk about some old school Death metal. Cheers!!!

Fuck yeah Ross is the Man ! I will forever be a Immolation fan !!! Everyone from the band is chill and will forever be thankful for Ross and Rob for signing my stuff , recently I got lucky I had Rob signed my here In After record at the Obituary show , Ross was busy 😎

I love these interviews with these veterans of the scene. I always want them to be longer and to hear more about the history of the scene and their place in it. I always find their individual perspectives so interesting and I think your knowledge of the scene makes these guys feel like they can be more in depth since they feel confident you are following them confidently.

My favorite newer Immolation song is When The Jackals Come. Ross’s vocals towards the end, and that riff, with the drums. Is fuckin awesome

Awesome interview. Immolation are still the kings and always kill it live.

Immolation crushed it on the latest tour with Cannibal.

Damn, Ross Dolan seems to really enjoy talking about the old school Death Metal days and the Demo collecting days. You'd never get a conversation like this from a Revolver type channel, which just asks everyone they interview the same generic questions. J Dawg is the best interviewer out there

I went to an Immolation band practice back in 1990, I was there with my boy Rich, who used to tape trade with Ross, and Mortician practiced too, back when Sicher was on drums and McEntee on guitar. Immolation have always been a class act, to me they're the real legends from the 88-92 era.

Good call on No Jesus, No Beast J-Dawg. “Can you hear us, death to Jesus” was made to be shouted along with live!

The whole disco from Immolation is awesome but Atonement to me is fkn brilliant!!!!

Immolation is legendary in the death metal scene, Dawn of Possession was my introduction to them. Ross has such a great attitude and radiates positive vibes, he rules! Another kick ass interview J-Dawg!! 🤘🏻

Absolutely awesome, been waiting for this. I got to talk to Ross and Bob after they played a few years back, and they were some of the nicest dudes. Props and congrats to J Dawg for this one!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

I feel nothing is my jam....I love all immolation.

Ross is a real underground dude. Met him, gave him a comp with my buddies in it, and he's just really a nice dude. Like John McEntee. But Alex was like, "yo I saw you man" and gave me a high five. He also didn't hold back in this one, which makes me like him more

Awesome, Ross rules 🤘🤮🤘 one of metal top bass/vokills

This interview was like watching the chill uncle talkin to the mouthy nephew. Not really. I just wanted to comment with something stupid

I think this might be one of the best interviews J-Dawg has done so far. Maybe I’m a little biased because I’m a big Immolation fan.

Woah! I love Ross and Immolation. Great interview, JDawg. \m/

Great interview Dawgs Ross is such a Kool dude I meet him at Mr smalls in Pittsburgh and me just being a fan he was very gracious and friendly.

Breakdown shirt ! oldschool New York hardcore band from the 80's !

The most original brutal musicianship !!! This band is Above all !!!

This guy is a legend. Amazing how humble this guy is

This was fun to watch. Keep it on....

JDAWG WITH THAT SLIIIIIIIIICK ASS NECROVORE SHIRT ON. Sick interview btw!!!

Salute to the absolute madman Ross & the rarely matched milestone streak during both the Smilowski- & Hernandez-era of Immolation. Brimming with elite infernal riffage, unorthodox drumming, monolithic atmospheric soundscapes & purposeful dissonance-consonance utilization, along with potent emotive force & 'soul' behind the compositions. Fingers crossed to see the madmen in the flesh here in the Netherlands or nearby any time soon. Always a pleasure & hails!

Awesome to see you get all these legends on here. Wish I coulda make it to MMF

Love these interviews Jdawg! Ross seems like such a great dude. You have to respect a band like Immolation that's just continually put out great material for the last 30 plus years.

Ross is the best guy ever.

54? He looks 40 maximum!! 😳

Him and The Cannibal guys are the nicest , most humble individuals you could meet that write the heaviest music, evil lyrics and gruesome album covers.

Really awesome interview justin wow you nailed it, what a gentleman he is!

killer stuff, I can watch these types of interviews for hours on end , HAILS! \m/

Ross and Immolation DM legends! Great interview!

As far as my favorite *Immolation* album, I go back and forth. I love the first three. Another would be *"Majesty And Decay"* as far as later albums go. That's another favorite. The whole catalog is great, but those are the top of the hill for me.

Awesome interview. I saw the mighty Immolation recently in St. Loius. I was shocked at the amount of people who weren't familiar with Immolation.

Another great interview.

Awesome interview man!!

Great interview! Ross really seems like guy who cares about the scene and what it means to people!

Excellent interview King Dawgmond! Ross is a cool dude. Lots of busted-up females in the background daaaaamn! Lookin’ like potatoes with toothpicks stickin’ out of ‘em. Not many attractive ladies into metal I guess.

Sikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!! What a cool dude, and as far as I'm concerned one of the top vocalists in the biz. ANd that Hell's banner crushes!

Ross Dolan is a cool dude. Another great interview from the Dawg \m/

Great interview J-Dawg!

Ross wearing the Breakdown NYHC shirt. That’s how you know he’s real

HELL YEAH the Dawg is killing it with the interviews!!! Immolation is one of the few bands who are consistently awesome with every release, and Ross Dolan has the coolest hair in metal!! I can see the Glen Benton interview in the future!!!

Ross is the same guy as when they did the first demo. A real guy who knows his roots. Cheers!!!!!

Excellent interview. I watched it twice. Content reminds me of the time I met Ross on tour with Mayhem in Nebraska. I am not a fan of Harnessing. But I own that album, and all other Immolation CDs. Immolation super dark sounding; especially their older music.

Awesome interview, Jdawg Immolation is one of the best death bands still out there. I am still waiting for that Incantation Immolation and Mortician tour.

Got a Severe Torture "Feasting on Blood" shirt from the site. It showed there was a back print online, but it was just a front when it arrived.

This is great. Immolation is the absolute best Death Metal band that will ever exist. No one will ever be able to out perform Immolation

Great interview!

I still got that immolation 2 song demo from 88. Great stuff.

Failures for Gods!!! Masterpiece

It's such a interesting phenomenon that these bands don't get old even though at this point they are in that classic rock territory as far as how long they've been around

AWWWWWWWWWSOME!!!!!!! Love you, ROSS!!!! 32 years of friendship!!!!! BELLE VERNON PA!!!! - Christian DRUMS / ROTTREVORE!!!! ❤️🫡🙏🇺🇸😁

I saw Immolation for the first time in the UK when they toured with Morgoth and Massacre in possibly 91. One the best shows i have ever been to.

Ross is a real one and super chill cheers

I've been a fan ever since 1991 when I bought their first album on cassette, those left behind was always my favorite song! \m/

If immolation played thier new album front to back I'm happy

The kids doing the selfies mid-interview in the background is hysterical.

Sick interview

Ross rules!!! Excellent vids!! 😎 👍

Years ago i was really into Internment. So naturally ordered a patch but might have been a little drunk so ended up ordering an Incantation patch. Luckily the vendor was also drunk and weeks later i received a letter from overseas only to find he had sent me an Immolation patch. Naturally i started listening to Immolation and all were happy.

Very nice ! Thank you

A McEntee interview would be great!

Immolation is in my top 5 Death Metal bands for sure. To me at least,there is none darker. They have a "bleakness" to them that I don't hear anywhere else.

I can't believe Ross said the first 2 Death albums are the only ones he was into. I've heard that from a few people lately. Spiritual Healing and Human are my favorite Death albums

21:56 So far everyone I've seen J Dawg ask this question has given the same answer pretty much, and it's always good news lol

Breakdown NYHC

I remember the Hanover house in Meriden Connecticut seeing immolation and malignancy back to back.that was a true battle of the bands

I saw Ross and almost broke my Fuckn finger clicking!🤘

the DAWG steppin up with the big boi heavy hitter interviews hell yeah \m/

So many canoes walking around. You just wanna brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

*ALTARS* for me.

Is tomorrow the day that J-Dawg is in a flat broiled sideways cap, while eating granola. Tryin to look hard with his boxers hangin over his trousers?

Fuck yeah 🤘🏽

Hell, yeah! Immolation is siiiiick.🤘

Keep ‘em coming !!! Fucken legends

i can see me in the back of this video at 10:27 😹😹
