Thank you for Nocturnal, Lucas.

I hate that I'm about to say this but: Shannon is like the death metal version of Steve from Blues Clues, we haven't heard from him in so long, but it's a breath of fresh air to see he's still doing alright.

We got a Shannon Lucas interview before GTA VI The absolute 🐐

Trevor Forever 🖤💚🖤💚

This dude crushes every project he's on. Happy to hear from him!

Thank you Shannon!! I blast nocturnal everyday at the gym. Your a legend brother. I enjoyed hearing your stories. TBDM 🤘🤘🤘

Any album he’s on is a banger, good to hear from him again 🔥🙌🏼

I will never forget that super tight snap on Christ Deformed. My god so sick. Thanks for this interview it’s a treasure trove of info for fans of one of the worlds sickest drummers 🤘

One of my favorite drummers EVER. He still has a huge impact on my playing every day. Such a killer drummer. His playing on all TBDM albums and Serpentine Dominion is just amazing. Geezer is brilliant.

I could never imagine having the kind of skills Shannon has and being so humble. An absolute legend that really kickstarted the metal drumming community.

I'm only 40 minutes in and I don't want it to end. I'm loving everything about it and Shannon's all access to the behind the scenes of recording albums and touring. Love the long form podcast.

Epic of you to put this together! Shannon seems like such a nice guy! Thanks again for checking out my cover 🤘🏻 Oh yeah and very tall guy indeed but no special risers of any kind on the axis pedals in this video ;)

Shannon has always Been a sweet down to earth guy. My old band got to open for them many times and he and I even got to hang and get dinner in Vegas and just shoot the breeze. I miss him a lot and have to find his number again Dammit. Makes me so happy to see a friend happy again. Love and respect

DUDE wtf!!! This is so rad. Wish he never left BDM. Thank you for asking such great questions! Subbed

So good to hear from Shannon after so long! Also thank you guys for checking out my video! I like playing the verse with the double stroke on my right foot because it's better for my balance when playing gallops like that. The consistent double bass at that speed is definitely more well suited for my single strokes so that's why I did singles for the rest of the song. My sticks are Los Cabos Red Hickory Rock sticks, basically long 2B's with a short taper. Big ol chonkers. I'm glad you guys liked the video and think that I did his parts justice, the drum parts on that entire album are incredibly fun and unique

bro, 3 hrs of shannon. been waiting years for this shit. i was just wondering about shannon the other day watching old TBDM videos. mans a legend

DUDE. You are incredible for putting this together! Shannon is a huge inspiration in my playing and many others that I know. So thank you!

YES!!!! My favourite drummer!

Can't wait for Wolven Spirit. I can't believe they didn't quantize his drums, he so unreal tight. what a gottam machine

What an awesome interview. Finally the in depth interview that we've all been waiting for. Great questions. Great stories. Awesome news drop. Can't wait for some new shannon drum tracks. Although I'm surprised he didn't bring up his recordings on The Iron Son album he did with Branden Schiepatti of bleeding through. It was only 4 songs I think but he rips as usual. Anyway thank you MDU and Shannon!

Have missed Shannon so much. Hands down my favourite drummer, I was so lucky to run into him at the Memorial Show. He's just like he is in this video, the nicest guy ever..he didn't know me but was so happy to say hello and give me a a couple minutes of his time. Shannon thank you for everything and inspiring me at such a young age. It makes me very happy to see you are doing well and enjoying your life.

Deflorate was the favorite amongst circles in my area. At the time, we were blown away by it.

i enjoyed this interview alot..i always wondered what happened to shannon..he seems like a chill ass dude..

Fuck yeah!! Glad to see you still Alive and Kickin Shannon!! Thank you for everything!

I still have my Ritual box set in my drum room. I burned the incense a long time ago, but I still have the sage stick, coffin nails, and ouija board. Badass interview, thank you for this!

I've never seen a good interview with Shannon, well done 👏

2008 Edmonton Alberta Cannibal Corpse, The red Chord, TBDM, Goatwhore. Greatest show I have ever seen. Shannon rules on album and live. Trevor gave me the set list, and the red chord played dreaming in dog years. what a time.

Great interview man! Great to see Shannon's face after all these years ❤

fall of ideals is one of the finest metal core albums i've heard. not only is it a solid album but the drumming on it was so creative and next level. less is more in a way. and it makes sense why this album is so polished and is a trip from start to finish. it's hard to find a perfect album like this.

Great interview! Solid questions and it's awesome to hear from Shannon

I would LOVE another Asphalt Graves album. I didn't even know who all was in the band when I first heard it on SoundCloud. Then when I saw the lineup, I was like HOLY CHIT!

Shannon is by far, my favorite drummer of all tkme

what a breath of fresh air to hear from this guy. he was such an icon when i was in high school experiencing metal bands for the first time. 06-10. i remember hearing Nocturnal for the first time and being absolutely blown away by the technical aspect of his drums. then to find out he was the drummer on Fall of Ideals completely sold me as my favorite drummer at the time. so glad you're doing well, Shannon!

Maaaan thanks so much for doing this. Shannon is such a legendary drummer

Love Shannon. Happy to see he is doing well. ATR- The fall of ideals is a masterpiece in my opinion. Oli was a big influence on me in my younger years as a guitar player (RIP Oli). And realizing shannon was drumming on that album blew me away. If shannon did some new play throughs of our favorite songs he drummed in, id prob have a grand mal seizure.

Shannon is so well spoken, passionate and interesting to listen to. Such great insight into the deep aspects of the bands he was involved in, and I really appreciate the way he is upfront about certain topics/not afraid to talk about the past. Also I'm really glad this interview was able to go so long, he's so good at filling in the blanks and keeping up the conversation. Really hope he gets around to releasing some new videos too! Amazing interview, thank you very much!!

this is incredible. TBDM is my favourite band bar none and this was so awesome to watch. Hearing about the process of Ritual literally gave me goosebumps... imo the best album ever made. This was a treat.

Thanks-well done interview!🤘🏻Shannon is a natural drummer imo, and a class act human being👍🏻

5 minutes in and I just want to say thank you for this! I’ve literally been searching for videos of him for a long time hoping something would pop up. Finally this! This is golden! 🙏

HOLY FUUUCK I HAVE MISSED THIS MAN

awesome interview. so sick to see shannon thriving and happy.

I love this man so much!

I am so ready for Wolven Spirit \m/ Great interview!

Didn't realize that the swarm cover got released on the JP release of Ritual, we didn't get that until Nightbringers here in the US.

I love you for doing this!!!!! Shannon seems like such a great human. I needed this. I've been missing this guy like hell since he left TBDM! Thank you dude

3 fucking hours! I'm really happy see Shannon again! Congrats the finally dream came true man

Good job on putting this together! Shannon is the man, amazing drummer. Thanks dude 👊🏼

Can't believe I forgot about this guy! Awesome drummer and awesome guy!

great drummer, better person!

​@metaldrummersunited5716 thank you so much for getting this done, very eye-opening to learn about his time in his various bands. Clearly one of the best drummers and a huge influence on many of todays drummers. He's The Real Deal, The Don Dapper, The Muttz Nuttz. Great chat and amazing musician! Thanks you again 🎉

This was soooooo friggin awesome.As im a huuuge fan of Shannon, i Could have watched even 3 more hours.hah.Thank you so much Shannon for doing this amazing interview :) Greetings from the Norwegian Metal Viking drummer( From Lowdown / Angerman/ Blood Red Throne)

It's great to see fucking Shannon again & hear all these background stories. Started listening to bdm when nocturnal released, listened daily and still do! Mayhem fest every summer!! Great interview ! 🤘

what a great interview

Great interview! Thank you guys!🤘🏻

Holy Shit, Shannon in Job for a Cowboy would've been so sick

Thank you so much for this! Love everything that Shannon has done over the years.

I saw him at his second show with The Black Dahlia Murder!

Will be awesome!

I understand why he doesnt want to be on social media, but dam i wish he was hes a legend 🔥 it would be sick to see him play more

Fuuuuuk yeh, dude kills it. Met him at a tattoo shop in Roanoke, VA right after he was done in ATR super cool guy

If not because of him and the black dahlia murder, i probably didn't play death metal till now. Thanks Shannon. Trevor forever ❤

I never read the lyrics to TBDM but I took a look after shannon recommended deathmask devine, and then read some funeral thirst and now I get how he might have been internally struggling. For some reason I always thought that funeral thirst was about zombies or something trivial, but it's literally about killing yourself--imagine singing such lyrics tour after tour

Shannon 'You Know What I Mean' Lucas

Met those guys in syracuse on the ritual tour. Best group of guys!!!!

THANK YOU FOR THIS 💚

I still regret not jumping to the stage to hug Shannon and thank him for Nocturnal that one time he came to play in Rosario, Argentina. I have a pic with Brian from that night tho, but I still wish I could share with Shannon what it means to me to listen to an album like Nocturnal, and how it totally changed the game for me, and it was hard to find him on social media too, so, never was able to thank him properly, hope you get to read this comment one day. Thank you Shannon!🫂

Shannon is also a legend in the metal scene lol man these interviews are awesome!

Por fin lo encontraron, genial entrevista, grande Shannon 🤘

I have those two covers from the Nightbringers limited edition. I knew they were from that session as soon as I heard them.

Dude!!! This is fucking awesome thank you for this!!!!

Shanon the maaaan

Best song ever "Shrine to Madness"

this man is responisble for me going from thrash to real extreme drumming - HUGE influence. it is always such a fucking bummer to hear how these mammoth musicians that inspire thousands of people are just fucking broke and have to live like shit for 200 days a year on the road. tough life to do this thing we love called metal.

Darkthrone is definitely my vibe in black metal as well. They don’t get a shit and if this is the vibe from a black metal group he is in Im so fucking down. I totally agree there are so many similarities between punk/NYHC and black metal! 🤘

I knew Shannon back in his younger years when he played in a band from Winchester VA called Jerkbox, my old band Strength of One would play alot of shows with his band. He was a Kool dude to hang out with and geek over drum stuff. Then a few years later he join Black Dahlia Murder.

The most influential drummer 🤟🏼

Do you want five 36 minute interviews every two years or one amazing 3 hour interview every 10 years? Thank you both!

Me personally I loved deflorate. I never understood how it was described as technical though I had a hell of a lot harder time with riffs from nocturnal and even songs from miasma than I did learning deflorate songs.

Ayo this is insane😳

OH shit fuck, Love this Guy!

Fall of Ideals is a genuine all time metalcore great, and Nocturnal is just the best melodic death metal record, period.

The entire majesty DVD was a funny moment! Watching that thru high school I remembered that whole movie, had it ripped onto my psp at the time watching it everywhere I went. Should we hit the bong before we do this!?!?!

the best one

Deflorate is one of my favorite albums. 1:29:05

Этажи on your back wall! good taste

How you able to contact him? Wanted to interview him as well

Who’s got the link to his first show with TBDM at New England Hardcore & Metal Fest?

Long live bdm rip trev

Can someone identify the band shirt Shannon is wearing please? Bro's got excellent taste so I'm sure the shit is hard!

Where’s Shannon’s playthroughs? I can’t find them searching on youtube

Mediocre..?? Mhmm that was actually jerky...i guess you are an outstanding drummer

I can't stand this know it all dude...

1:17:22 I love hearing drums vocalizing drum parts.
