Gene Hoglan seems like an awesome guy.
Yeah seems real cool.
Met him at a meet and greet years ago, he shook my hand as i said "dude, youre the man." he simply nodded and said, "well, yea." lol He also looks like hes lost a lot of weight, looks really healthy. good for him.
yo
The Abyssal Archivist yup, he's totally cool, he used to come in to the drum shop I worked at in Vancouver - great dude!
He is, I worked with him once
If Dave Lombardo is the Godfather of Double Bass, and Gene Hoglan taught Dave how to work with Double Bass, would that make Gene Hoglan the God of Double Bass?
GENERAL T-BONE amen brother
GENERAL T-BONE that is correct .
No, Pete Sandoval is the double bass god.
Jay Tuck yup. Gonna go Per Ohlin on my brain box because I disagreed with some dude over a drummer.
The Irate Metalhead yes, exactly. Please do that.
He's like the long lost brother of Vinnie and Dime.
Kei Kurono yea foot taller lost brother
I just imagine some kind of Malcolm in the Middle dynamic with those three together as siblings
They’re all from Dallas too and they play thrash metal
@@yourefriendlyneighborhoodbuddy I have no idea how tall Gene is, but I'm guessing 6'5"-6'7"
@@mrs_death_metal_ 6'7 yep
drummed for death, testament, SYL and dethklok. one of the most busiest guys ever in the metal scene and yet he finds time to do this interview. All the while being chill as all hell. what is he, absolute legend. Seems like a genuinely nice guy
He played in Dark Angel too. Why do people always forget about that?
He also played in a band called "Zimmer's Hole."
Not to mention all those solo Devin albums. The dude's kept busy for a long time.
Fear Factory too.
opeth temporarily also. he's in the grand conjuration video
I was expecting some reference to his time on Death...
Or Dark Angel
Right...Chuck Billy ain't the only (or first) Chuck he worked with!
TheMetalGaia yeah! For one second I thought he was talking about Schuldiner when he said "Chuck was telling me (...)"
Lol, I saw an interview with Gene once where he talked about Schuldiner at length. He really looked up to him. What a shame. Fuck cancer, right?
+War Never Changes i thought the same! Especially when he was also mentioning "Eric". Thought he was talkin bout Eric Grief manager of Death. Lol.
I'm in love with this guy for over 20 years. It's "symbolic" love of course.
nroks Yea,I love this guy to "Death" as well
I love the way he thinks as well. He has some pretty interesting "Individual Thought Patterns".
nroks I wonder if he speaks Black Prophecies (Dark Angel reference for those who don't know)
TomShreds way to kill the strings of incredible puns man. I have "Zero Tolerance" for that sort of thing.
You mean it's Symbolic Love? Oh my fucking god that was terrible.
His drumming in Death's Symbolic is unreal and blows me away every time I listen to it. For someone with such ungodly talent Gene comes cross as a total down to earth guy. One of the greatest drummers out there.
Even better on ITP
Manager: So Mr. Hoglan, how many bands would you like to be in?
Gene Hoglan: Yes!
One of the greatest metal drummers ever!
drum911 *One Of The Greatest Drummer EVER in Any Genre \m/
The best of every genre.
The best drummer
How could you NOT talk about Dark Angel and Death?
Death gets no respect brother
Infametheus sacrelige
Right? That was the whole reason I clicked
@@Infametheus death is one of the best death metal band #RIPChuck
@@arvindshastry1178 Truth
I love Gene's "doo doo doo doo doorooloorooloorooloo"s when drumming with his voice haha!
Exactly, and even then it sounds perfect...
The stuff Gene played on the drums with Death was the craziest drumming I've ever heard and is impossible to play I have no idea how he played that
Eli Simmons his work in Fear Factory and Testament is almost as good as his work with Death imo
Nellson Stout I'm gone check it out it out because I love his style on the drums
I think he took all that to the max in Strapping Young Lad, although the Death stuff is impressive too.
Eli Simmons his only album with Fear Factory was Mechanize. I think the last 2 Testament albums were better because of him. What can you say for him being almost 50 years old and just recently releasing the album with his fastest blast he ever recorded?
Nellson Stout I absolutely love Genes playing thanks for letting me know what's his material with fear factory and Testament
this dude just earned my respect, damn good fucking guy.
It's Dewple All great drummers should be this cool.
What? Dethklok usually kills their fans! Now they save people, they've gone mainstream.
nice failure pfp dude thats pretty gnar
Worldwide suicide has begun sweeping the nation after Dethklok has gone mainstream
Gene Hoglan and Dave Lombardo have to be the most down to earth guys in metal.
Individual Drum Patterns
they do get that wrong sometimes
He says that every time
Never seen that shit.
He should trademark that. Like the "lets get ready to rumble" guy.
Oh ok
Read this comment as it was being said lol
No questions about Dark Angel? Come on, Loudwire.
or Death?
And the first 6-7 minutes they were only talking about Slayer. I mean, people ask him about that stuff in every interview. We don't need to hear that again.
Dark Angel or Death Angel maybe?
domant 912 Gene played in Dark Angel :)
domant 912 But Death Angel is a great band too.
I love the fact that he told Chuck and the other Testament guys that he was committed to SYL. If only Dev could of continued his Strapping insanity. Love that band!
"Chuck and the other Testament guys" Implies that Chuck was in Testament... Which is rudely disgraceful. Chuck is a legend, Testament are mere heroes.
@@rasmusolsen1945tf?
@@rasmusolsen1945 this is why death fans are not to be taken seriously lol
I just wanna hang out with Gene, looks like a total badass, acts like the sweetest dude in the world
Greatest metal drummer of all time in my opinion.
Matthew Elliott same the stuff he played with Death was insane
Many would agree with that statement
I'm thinking it's probably not just your opinion. The guy is definitely the standard everyone else tries to work towards
His playing is so effortless, just flows naturally. A true legend that should receive way more recognition...
Agree. He had played with so many bands and different styles and made masterpieces with all of them.
Man, this guy is cool as fuck!!
At least it's not "af"
Changa, you care too much about things that don't matter.
Why do you care whether I say "cool" or "cool as fuck"?! It's my comment, I'll say whatever I want to say however want to say it. Go get you some business and stay up out of mines!
Jym E. Changa Because he's cool AS FUCK! That's why.
In terms of skill, he's the Neil Peart of extreme metal and in terms of projects, he's the Josh Freeze of metal
Almost forgot about Josh Freese, that dude's on practically every rock record from the 2000's
all hail gene hoglan the best thrash drummer out there and probably the nicest musician to meet
This guy was way nicer than I expected him to be 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Very down-to-earth. Hoglan has played some epic tracks with some epic bands. Was a highlight for me meeting him with Testament in Hollywood, FL, a number of years ago.
"My china was making a vinyl debut before I was" What a great sense of humor.
Gene’s probably my favourite drummer never heard him interviewed - I can’t believe how genuinely cool and nice he is - that’s so awesome to see
He's such an approachable dude. Love him. And if you can give Dave Lombardo a few tips as his drum tech, ya know you're doing something right
Gene and Tom hunting are total bros. Really chilled out in interviews. Very charismatic and comprehensive.
"They do get that wrong sometimes" Becoming a loudwire classic
I got 10 seconds of Gene's time on 8/12/18 to say "Thank You and Thanks for coming to Nashville," He was very cordial and even put his hand out to shake mine.
He's such a positive person. I want to be his friend just from watching this interview.
So if you're from Texas and you got your start playing to KISS records, you're probably going to be a kick-ass drummer.
Yep. Same with Vinnie Paul.
Varg Vikernes - Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction? LOL!
I wouldn't even be surprised if he did the interview..
Lmao. "You stabbed Euronymous in the back 23 times"
"They do get that wrong sometimes"
Drinking Game; take a drink everytime you hear the word "allegedly"
Fact or fiction? Let's find out!
"it says that you stabbed euro 25 times, is that true?" "No, I stabbed him 27 times" "oh, okay, they get that wrong sometimes"
Not long enough! He's so well spoken, I'm sure he has a thousand stories. He needs to do an autobiography; I'd definitely buy it.
Woooow this was very cool!!!! I remember in my drumming days doing exactly the same and funny enough, also with the music from Dimmu.
Thank Gene, Graham & Loudwire!
Such an underrated drummer! Gene is great! Absolutely love his work with Testament and Death!!!
I don't think he's underrated at all. Pretty much everyone in the metal scene knows he's one of the best.
One of the most respected and recorded drummers in metal. Yeah very underrated.
The Hoglar!!!!! This was a refreshing interview, he seems like such an awesome and approachable guy. One of my favorite drummers as well.
"How long have you been playing double bass?" "I don't know, like, three or four minutes?" :D :D Epic. Very entertaining to watch. I don't know how tall Graham is, but the other videos don't make him look overly small, so... that would explain why Gene seems to hardly move behind the kit, he's just enormous and can reach anything with hardly any motion.
One of the nicest guys I ever met. Totally humble and excited all the time!
One of my fav drummers ever! he is a beast on the kit but i have never listened a bad word from random people when they talk about this awesome human being :D
Sebastian Acuña,
That’s because he’s genuinely nice.
Gene is a really humble person, he's very down to earth in all his interviews
Great, musical drummer who really adds quality to the music he's involved with. He seems genuinely nice, sweet and personable and so many people have stories about how wonderful he is to be around. I really feel like we're lucky to have him in the metal and the drumming community :)
gene hoglan one of the best drummers ever right up there with vinnie paul. his work with SYL, fear factory and testament are metal as fuck
Uncle Ram Ok...DEATH Dude?
Uncle Ram. right up there with Vinnie? I do like Vinnie. he is a good drummer and a huge personality but he's not in gene hoglan's league. not even close
GingerBeard Man Maybe not speed-wise, but Vinnie always seems like the right guy for the music he plays.
Vinnie Paul? Seriously? He is fucking garbage compared to gene
Why create a discussion on who's the best? Gene is a beast behind the kit. He's by my opinion one of the fastest, tightest on either hand and one of the most technical drummers in history.
But Gene has his place, I doubt that he could have contributed to the sound of Pantera, the same goes with Lars Ulrich, a lot of people says Lars is a shitty drummer, but i haven't heard a single drummer who has created a similar aggression or sound in their playing.
I'm so lucky to be alive in a time of so much different inspirations!
🤘
Honor to Gene Hoglan , one of the most best metal drummers
I saw him with Dark Angel in such a small club ! One of the greatest show i've seen !
I have never been so excited of a video in my life.
Love his chill way of being! It’s something very distinguishable in his personality. 🤘🏼
Mr. Hoglan, it was a pleasure to see your interview. \m/
He sounds like Rex from toy story
Lol yea
He does dude. Ill never look at Rex the same again
I met him and his wife a few years ago while I was working here in San Diego, Ca. He and his wife are both very humble. My respect to both of them.
So glad I got to meet him many, many years ago. Such a humble dude that I share a name with 🤘
I met Gene and his wife at a souplantion in SAN Diego,California.where I used to WORK at,him and his wife were real cool people. a real down to earth man. my RESPECT to them.
Jeff Walker Fact or Fiction please!
Buzzing Lamp Productions I second that
or Bill Steer
Yes, Jeff or Bill, ive seen this request quite a few time here, make it happen.
This is one of those amazing guys that you just have to love. Crazy good drummer, he has done it all and also he seems really down to earth and friendly.
Great!
What a complicated funny person. Thank you for coop with Chuck Shuldiner, Gene! Respect!
What a humble dude, always love to see that.
Very cool interview/answers. Gene is the man!
no references to Death? 👎
What a nice guy. Really a positive personality and a huge drum influence. I've met him once and recall buying him a drink at a club. I wish more people were this personable and approachable.
"concentrate on your left foot" That's really good insider information from one of the great ones.
I really enjoyed this "fact or fiction", I really admire Gene Hoglan and his great work and legacy on music. Great drummer, totally professional.
gene is such a nice guy and what a drummer, his drumming in death's symbolic are just out of this world
I'd love to jam with Gene! Man, that would be fun!!! Seems like he'd have fun playing almost any kind of metal. I've been a fan for over 20 years! Someday haha...
About time!!!!
Completely made my day this. Seems like such a genuine, chilled, open, positive man, and hugely talented on top. Like the Dave Grohl of metal.
It's funny I always thought I was one of the only people who actually learned how to play the drums pretty well by literally air drumming and playing with sticks only on whatever I could hit! I literally taught myself literally maybe 50-100 songs before I ever played a kit. And surprisingly, once was at a kit was able to play the songs well in weeks bc my hands and feet already knew where to go and when! Awesome to hear GH started the same way!
I met the guy during a show with Death. He is really down to earth and so was Chuck. Thankfully we catch up with him in Amsterdam
He is one of my favorite drummers of all time as a huge death fan his drumming on individual thought patterns and symbolic is legendary
Imagine my surpise learning that after listening to Brotherhood of the Snake and then a few months later watching this video learning that Gene played the drums on that record. The drumming is phenomenally good. A lot of technique, amazing fills and intricate beats.
When I first heard Brotherhood of the Snake, I had no idea Gene was the drummer. I just remember being blown away by the drums, never actually researching who the drummer was. It all makes sense now
I love this new introduction!
What a legend! So humble and disgustingly good on the kit!
Holy shit he is big
he was much bigger!
OnePlickyDood yes he was. I'm glad he's taking care of himself now.
Phil Anselmo was taller than Graham, Phil is 5'9 which means that Graham is either 5'8½ or 5'8. So we can probably work off that
6'4 is what i've read.
DoctorRobertBobby im 6,2 and he still had 4inch on me
good job! Gene is my hero; since the late 80s
He is so down to earth, man.
He looks at least 6'5 unless Graham is like Joey Jordison's height.
I actually saw Gene do a double set with Strapping Young Lad and Testament. It was at Tramps in New York City.
He's such a nice dude and a amazing drummer.
What a cool guy! I heard of him first in the 90s listening a Death casette. I was amazed!
what an awesome laid back dude!
Met him at an Overkill concert 25 some odd years ago. Really nice guy.
Never did manage to cover Time Does Not Heal, Gene.
Wow, such a great man!
Василий Шишкин so true. Love the Orchid avatar by the way
One of the best, most technical drummers ever!!!
I’m a little insulted that they didn’t mention his time in Death. Symbolic is a masterpiece.
Love Gene..him and Vinnie Paul are my biggest influences. .as far as metal playing drums
Gene's work on Old Man's Child-Illnatured spiritual invasion is amazing!!!
Met him once as the band I was in at the time played right before Pitch Black Forecast. I'm a long time drummer myself.So there I was, turned around, " Oh look it's Gene Hoglans kit" He was using ddrum at the time.
"why no mention of _____??" Well, it would be a 2 hour interview if we got to every question. Lol. I'd be ok with it though.
Fantastic drummer, and a real humble, easy to like person.
Hearing him talking about air drumming made me think about what my brother used for a drum kit before we had one, a metal fan for a high hat and a cardboard box for a snare. \m/
He is so cool. I want another album from him and Jmann
Need to add, Dark Angel - Darkness Descends is the most amazing thing I had ever heard at the time.
Nice they been killin it lately with some of the people they've been getting on here haha. Was pretty fuckin pumped to open CZcams on my phone to see this in my suggestions, and instantly clicked to watch lol. Between having Gene, and some of the other recent ones like Rex & Vin of Pantera they've been kicking ass lately with the Fact or Fiction guests..at least for me they have been haha, getting some of my all time biggest favorites from the metal music scene.
Do gotta say though that seeing when they did the ones with Vin and Rex, I couldn't help but think how awesome and hillarious one with Darrell would have been and get kinda depressed about it hahah. RIP Dime we miss you but your music certainly keeps your spirit alive here on earth, and will for a very long time to come...hopefully forever 😂
Hope he talks about SYL or Dev before the video starts for me.
So many good stories! I would listen to it all day lol
www.asthestorygrows.com/episodes/58676-gene-hoglan-the-atomic-clock
My old hommie Per M. Jensen, former Invocator & 10 yrs in The Haunted, was support to Dark Angel, where Gene started drumming. After that tour, Hoglan was after that European Tour, his biggest inspiration & Drum "God", in the days.. Just a little anekdote..
Amazing drummer
met him when he was playing for fear factory. super cool dude!
He comes across as a real character and a really cool guy to hang around with. I see why he and Devin Townsend got along so well.
