Katon is easily one of the coolest dudes in Metal, a friend of mine did an interview with katon and my friend had his autistic brother with him so katon went above and beyond and make sure my friend's brother with autism had a safe place on the side of the stage to watch the show away from all the mayhem, during the show he helped pull up every crowd surfer on stage to stage dive. Katon is truly a class act.
What a gentleman
I think I seen him at a korn show in Philadelphia all the way back in 97 ? I wanna say but I didn’t wanna bother him. He was in the crowd just having fun
I hung with Katon 1986-87 up in Cerritos, Buena Park CA. Katon is 💯💯 He would let me tag along.. ..
Katon: the African American version of Paul Baloff. Fuckin' Bombs of Death!
One of the coolest dudes in the whole scene.
Katon is 💯💯 since I knew him 1986.....
Katon is thanked in the liner notes on many cult demos/albums in the 80’s, guy is a total legend who was there from the start.
I hung around with Katon up in Cerritos, Buena Park CA 1986-87. Katon is 💯💯
Great interview! Katon is Metal. HIRAX is definitely a respectable and awesome band.
@@icankillbugs More importantly: Won't he ride my white horse? 😏
Hell yeah hirax is great, holly crap man 60 and still thrashing. Dudes a inspiration, and a legend of the scene \m/
Hirax is awesome. The comeback stuff rules as well as the original stuff and Phantasm.
@@dinkins335 I've only ever heard the older hirax stuff. But I'm definitely gonna check out the other stuff soon \m/
@mikeviolate6207 the comeback stuff is really good. I've never heard anything with Katon that was bad.
Damn, he looks great for 60. I knew he was older, but I would have never guessed 60.
Katon rules! He is a perfect example of someone that plays metal and is also a huge fan!!!! Phantasm!!!!hirax!!!!!
Katon rules!!!
Katon is one of the all time greats I’m lucky enough to see him around often ever since 1986 and chat with him about metal! Hirax is one of the local icons in LA
Katon wasn't lying, you killed that one Dawg!
Awesome, Katon seems like the coolest. Justin, you’re getting better and better with your interviewing too 👌🤘
Fantastic interview!!! BORN IN THE STREETS, BORN TO DIEEEEEEEE
Amazingly wholesome interview
Katon is staying in shape. Great interview. Hirax is great.
I remember on his Facebook livestreams when Covid hit he’d have a segment where’d he shoutout new bands he heard. The only band I could remember he shoutout was Morbidosdad. You could tell Katon lives Metal and loves it with every bit of his heart.
Very cool to hear Morbosidad got a shoutout, Katon rules!
@@padraig88 I did! Their name is so hard to spell for me.
@@mikeauxbig give ‘Em a break, dude’s definitely trying his best at least.
Got some friends that played for morbosidad! Tomas is cool!!!
Morbidosod absolutely rules.
I wasn’t expecting this what the hell, true old school Thrash GOAT right here
Katon is guy who puts pure metal in your soul and many smiles in your face.thanks Brother for the interview, cheers from Greece
Katon being near Gene Hoglan is proof the atomic clock reverses the ravages of time. Phantasm demo is killer, too. What a line up. Anyway, Katon is a national treasure. Correction: international treasure.
SYL
I hung with Katon when it was phantasm, next to the Cerritos school! Ron mcgovney never stayed around and talked to anyone. But me and Katon would run the streets..... Of course I just tagged along! Wondering how cool I get to tag along with Katon 🤘💯 I was only 13 -14yrs Old!
Fuck yea J-Dawg got into Hirax from the get thrashed documentary when I was 14 and saw them live with DRI a few years ago! Great band!!!
Fockin Legend and J Dawg you too for making an Interview with him 🐐🔥🤘🏾
This was a great interview. I have a similar problem that he does of sticking to my era of metal bands. Then not really moving forward with the newer stuff.
Absolute lad.
Hirax killed it at Metal Immortal,and Katon was cool as shit. Nice getting to meet you J. Such a badass night. ⚔️💪
I saw Hirax with D.R.I. At union night club in LA 2017 I went solo and it was fucking packed
I remember playing Hirax at my old gas station job and a black guy came in and said "What kind of white boy shit is this?" and I told him to google the band and Katon and he just said "Well I'll be damned" and bought his gas and walked out 😂
😂😂😂
Super nice to see Katon pop up. Keep on truckin' !
Katon is 60 now? God damn that dude really doesn’t look a day over 40. Hell yeah to another interview 🤘🏻
What's that old saying? "Black don't crack".
yeah it sags but don't crack.@@vladtepes9614
@@vladtepes9614 word Mr Impaler.
I know it, gives me hope growing old. But I am cursed 🤬 being Caucasian. I will be a wrinkled prune by 60
And Katon if you're reading this please play stand and be counted, I'll forever be happy if you do that 😀
Katon, I would hang with constantly with Katon up in Buena Park CA 1986-87 when his band was phantasm at the time. I was 13-14 yrs old!! But I managed to tag along with Katon, got into all the shows hanging with band's such as Kreator, voivod..... and hung with nuclear Assault for 3 days as they stayed up at the house were the guitarist of phantasm lived.... Wild times 💯🤘 but the best memories of Katon was splitting fries 🍟 at McDonald's. He would take my fries and his and mix them together on the tray. Anyways Katon nicknamed Ditch because i had to skip going to school to be in the mix 🤘🤘🔥💯
Good interview wish this was longer. Hirax 🤘
I remember a point where vinyl damn near didn't exist.
Definitely. When I was getting into metal in high school (98-02), vinyl was nowhere to be found, at least at the bigger stores. When it got popular again around the mid 2000’s, I was already heavily invested in CD’s. I didn’t really want start another format. Still a strictly CD guy haha 🤷♂️
Right! I remember stores like fye would laugh at the idea of ordering vinyl around 05 now look at them
Nobody gave a shit about vinyl from the mid 90's well into the 2000's. They were stashed under the tables in the record stores and were anywhere from $1-5.
@TechnicalBarbarity I was getting records for a few bucks. Now, a used record is like 7 times the price
Katon is one of the nicest people i’ve ever met and a champion of the LA scene
Katon is an amazing person! And Justin rules for many reasons! And wearing a Goreaphobia shirt (one of my local faves here in NJ) just adds to his coolness level!
Mad respect for Hirax and Katon. Not the biggest thrash head but having that kind of longevity in the scene is completely admirable. 🤘
Hirax should be in the big 4
I would suggest replace Anthrax
Replace megadeath, Anthrax is actually good
Replace Meselloutica absolutely worthless soy boy band their cringe far outweighs even Ride The Lightning and Kill Em All, when these bozo arse hats bought lady gaygay on stage I absolutely lost respect for them to the point I boycott them even if I like Ride The Lightning I do my best to avoid them. For the record Anthrax is a great band you don’t know what time it is if you consider Anthrax lesser than Mesuckballsica. So I say keep Slayer and Anthrax for sure. Megadeth is superior to Metallica since Dave Mustaine wrote most the songs in Kill Em All everyone’s favorite album by them and for them to not credit him for writing the riffs, throwing him out to the wolves and slandering him like an expendable piece of garbage illustrates what scumbag POS human beings they were from the get go to the point they are rolling in millions of dollars of net worth while having the audacity to play victim and being the buffoons they are today. For all these reasons they should be the ones ostracized from the Big 4.
Replace Metallica
Hirax is not "big" how could they replace any of the big 4?
I agree, only early Anthrax is worth listening to for me.
KILLER interview! And much needed too
Just found your channel this week, gotta say I love the pure honesty im hearing from you and the people you interview. Its God damn refreshing. Keep this shit coming J-Dawg🤘🤘Your videos are gonna be part of my daily routine from this point forward. Immolation "Dawn of Possession", Deicide "Legion", and Pestilence "Testimony of the Ancients" i discovered in 1995 had I've never looked fucking back
Metal keeps you young!
Super cool guy, I like when someone's able to be honest about things they dislike but still have a good sense of humor around it.
Hirax were awesome in the 80's (not familiar with the modern stuff) and Katon seems like such a cool guy. I also think deserves the title of "thanks list iron man" for being listed in EVERY metal & hardcore thanks list of his era!!
Later Hirax is actually pretty awesome. 🤘😀
Immortal legacy is a killer thrash metal album check it out
I love Katon's Znöwhite shirt! One of the most underrated thrash metal bands!
For sure.
I love those EPs! Got to see them live back in the 80s, great show!
Their first EP was the best
I was at the first hirax backyard show since 89' in east LA, my friend owned the house, and have seen every LA show they've played since, they kick ass more than ever! These are solid fuckin dudes
"Jimi Sindrix" 😂
great interview!!
Awesome interview.
Another successful interview!
Great UG knowledge drooled here. Awesome interview!
Real Dude! Great interview
Oh shit J dawg so cool of you to interview him , Hirax threw a back yard show in East LA and that shit was turnt haha the cops pulled up for a bit and left hahah
yo when was this???
@@lamefuck621 September 3rd, 2022 at a backyard in East LA. Was a memorable night !!
I used to see Katon at shows in Hollywood when I lived in SoCal back in the 90s. He had this jacket with a big Possessed logo drawn on the back, and all these patches. He's metal to the end!
Great interview 🏆🏆🏆
This guy is so chill, another banger Dwagie dwag!
Cool interview. Nice, Katon throwing out Masacre from Colombia. I never hear anyone bring up that band. Good fucking band. Indeed, finding vinyl when I got into this (96/97) was damn near impossible and continued to be that way for WELL OVER decade. I didn't even bother starting a vinyl collection until years after being into this. I stuck to CDs. But at this point, the vinyl collection has grown immensely (HHR playing a big part of that). Nowhere near my CD collection, but it's getting there. Take Deceased for example. One of my favorite bands. I have all their CDs, but no vinyl. When HHR represses those (King told me himself that you guys were doing it and then you confirmed it the other day), I'm buying pretty much their entire discography on vinyl in one order. Definitely going to be a big boy order.
great interview, brah brah
Sportin a Masacre hat fuck yeah
Never got into Hirax, but always enjoy hearing from Katon, maybe it’s time to revisit their catalog. Great interview i-Dawg!
That's yer best interview Dawg.
OK. This was the greatest Katon DePena interview ever! Such a cool guy and an old schooler like me. Katon, I still owe you a couple of tapes from '86. Mike S from the '80's Baltimore scene.
I hung with Katon 1986-87 up in Buena Park CA. Katon is 💯🤘🤘🔥
Top notch interview J Dawg.
These interviews keep getting better
Great buddy action comedy in the making! 💥⚡️
Katon 1986-87 Buena Park CA, phantasm 💯🤘 I miss hanging with Katon. Wild times 🤘💯
This was so great
Fuck yeah, I didn’t think I was gonna bust first thing in the morning.
Katon is a legend and has always been known as one of the coolest dudes in the scene. It's so cool to hear someone else who was around and saw some of the same shows /tours. I can say there definitely weren't any people "booing" at the '84 Portland Mercyful Fate show!! The LA scene was full of posers back then.
Yeah sure we have it all down here look at Portland now junk.
Katon rules. Probably the best interview you’ve done..
holy shit!!! what an interview!!!
Katon is an awesome guy, thank you for sending me the Assassins of War ep in the mail!!!! hails
Honestly this is the best interview on the channel ive seen
Dude this guy is awesome. One love
J-Dawg always pics the best spots for interviews!
Saw Hirax back in the 80s in San Diego CA. Katon is very cool 😎
Great vid. Katon rules hard.
Hey J-Dawg! Can I make a suggestion? Would it be nice if you made playlist for your channel, these enterviews that you do are part of Heavy Metal history! Would it be nice to have a playlist to track them all, keep up the awesome work!
Katon has always seemed like a really badass dude. Hirax rules too!
cool interview
The Dogg with sleeves? DOUCHE. Let the guns breathe, Brah!
Only posers wear sleeves!
😂 Best interview !
Chase sure knows how to pack a record!
Love Hirax!!
Sweet Znowhite shirt! Those guys are killer.
If Hirax does tour PLEASE come to the Philadelphia area!!!!
Katon is bringing them numbers up 👍👍💯
Kanton, the knowledge man. He is cool. He is right. The first two Iron Maiden albums are awesome. Horns up Kanton!
Excellent
The MAN KATON!!!!🎉❤
Never been a hirax "fan" ..good interview from a old head
Love him. And right on j dawg!
Katon from Hirax! Fuck yea J-Dawg your livin my dream man lol 🤘🤘
Katon speaks the true, cheers!
Waving around the mics and they aren’t even hooked up or synced to anything 🤣
Canada (particularly Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, & Quebec City) NEED Hirax!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🥁🥁🥁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🎸🎸🎸🍻🍻🍻
Hirax always comes out raw, i like how his lady brought him back. His voice is still strong and his writing has gotten better. How his family wasnt about his music style, i think most metal heads face that.
Lipps said in an interview that Katon promoted an Anvil show were not one person showed up. He just sat down in front of them and said ok play for me and was the audience. It was humiliating to say the least
from what he said.
Katon's other band Phantasm is awesome
Hirax demo is awesome
Awesome!!! 😎 👍 🎂
Great fuking interview
Has to be one of JDawgs top 5 interviews
Wow! Unexpected interview with Katon so cool!! Hirax Kills, the man is a legend too!
