Genuinely one of the most underrated and slept on vocalists in the scene still. I've been swearing by Rory as a vocalist for the longest time and will ALWAYS sing those praises. Hyped to watch this one!
Facts! Been a fan since Origin 🌖
@@QuattroDosyou gotta go back further! Check out Arms Like Yours and Southern Lights - Bring Me Peace
🥱🥱😴😴😴
If you’re a fan of Rory, you should also check out his earlier bands Arms Like Yours and Southern Lights -Bring Me Peace
Southern Lights didn’t last long but that’s where Rory met most of the original members of Dayseeker
I agree! I always thought he was great but then I saw them live and he blew me away. He's amazing!
I don't skip the intro's. Pay me.
a saint
Teared up watching this it hit home, I lost both of my parents to cancer last year just 7 months apart. Massive respect for opening up to share this 🤍
How sweet is Rory? What a dude! My dad died just over a week ago and the morning after, I told a really close friend and my friend told me my dad was in his dream the night he died.
uugghh, I used to work for Hello Fresh, gits ha
Losing someone grants you access to an exclusive club that nobody wants to be a part of, but also provides an immediate kinship with others. For anyone who has lost someone, I hope you find peace through the grieving process.
Rory, thank you for having the courage to talk about all the dark stuff so publicly. Honestly. I think when we face the dark stuff and face it together through conversation it sort of builds us all up to a collective resilience to it. Maybe not fully but I think we become definitely more prepared as a result of having talked about it with others. It feels better to not hold it all in and have to bare the weight of the sadness all on your own. I'm a SoCal native and my band has played with your band before and I'll always feel a connection to you guys knowing your from the same hometown. It makes me happy to see you guys grow so gracefully and I wish you all and the people around you nothing but happiness and success. And thank you Craig for having Rory on your show. Great episode!
EDIT: I gotta add one thing to this if anyone sees this comment. Check out Gabor Mate's take on chronic illness and the kinds of people who get sick. He talks about the obituaries of people who have died of things like cancer, multiple sclerosis, ALS, etcetera and if you read them, they're always the type of people who were considered great people. They were always people pleasing types or overworked types that sacrificed so much of themselves for other people or people obsessed with perfection. They became that way as a maladaptation due to childhood trauma and the stress caused by living that kind of life is what caused their body to turn against them. That's essentially the theory and I personally completely buy into it as not only someone who has been battling chronic illness myself but has witnessed it in others. Just food for thought.
23:19 immediately runs to Google to see if this is true about Sleep Token's logo 😂😂😂
I am a CNA in hospice care and we do love what we do. We LOVE taking care of our patients. Im a drummer it really helps me after work.
The conversation about stuff happening in the pit and then at their show is Des Moines on 5/5 someone literally broke their leg during Silent Planets set.
I was there shit was crazy
@@_nuclearnoodle_5757 it was crazy! Silent Planet and the security handled it really well though!
Here in Brazil, until recently, you couldn't bring water into concerts. And if you stood in front of the stage (the VIP area), it was really difficult to stay hydrated - since the vendors couldn't get in to sell their products.
So it was quite common for people to spend long periods in the sun and rain without eating or hydrating properly. After the death of a fan who was exposed to the sun for hours to see a famous pop singer perform, the government and promoters mobilized to prevent the situation and now we can get in with water and, especially at festivals, it's common to find supply points.
Literally seeing Dayseeker tonight. What an incredible warmup before the show.
Get this man to 100,000. Spread the word
My gf got me into Dayseeker and I got my gf into The Downbeat, perfect crossover for us, thanks for all you do Craig, smashing it!
needing to rest today and i’m not good at that, this couldn’t have come at a better time! thanks Craig
I'm just a broken record. I'm going to check out Dayseeker. Thank you for another awesome and emotional episode🖤🖤
I don't comment regularly on this channel but I listen to every episode. As much as I love the jokes, fun and general bullshit on this podcast, seeing both of you talk so openly about grief when you barely knew eachother before recording was incredible. I was close to tears hearing you talk about Tom, Rory talking about his dad and of course the dog. Brilliant episode man ❤
After my mom passed I also had the small dreams where I would wake up feeling kinda funky about it but was able to shake it off. Then one night I dreamt that I was in the middle of a clearing in a forest with my mom and we just talked. After our talk she told me she loved me and goodbye. I woke up inconsolable. It felt very real. Mom always loved nature. I don’t know what we face after our last breath, but I hope it’s like my dream.
Damn this comment nearly brought a tear to my eye. Sorry for your loss.
Dayseeker is amazing, the first time I saw them I immediately sobbed after hearing his speech of his dad dying. Mine died 5 years ago and his speech resonated with me 🖤
Are these two of the most calming and most listen-able voices in rock music??
Saw Dayseeker on Tuesday, which was the anniversary of my Mom passing from cancer. Took my daughter to her first show, got a sweet gift from a VIP guest (autographed poster) and cried during Parallel. Brought an old friend that went back home leaving me "homesick". Thank you for being you Rory.
This guy's vocals are so heavy.. really unique too. Great guest fella😊
Just saw them a few weeks ago in Indy and it was killer. What got me hooked was my dad passed around 2 years ago and my brother sent me Neon Grave and I’ve never turned back.
Dead at the fart hidden in the ST logo lmfao
I paid $4 for a water at a KL concert. Was considering if passing out was more worth it tbh. Venues should provide free waters 🧸
Love Dayseeker, Rory is a lovely guy and I can’t wait to see them for the first time in December in Birmingham 🙌🏻
Like bowser’s castle is such a banger joke.
Inkcarceration 2023, I was watching Slipknot and Rory ended up standing like 6 feet away from me and it took me awhile to notice but the dead giveaway was his escort crew that brought him there. I freaked cuz Dayseeker has been my #1 listened to for awhile now and I tapped his shoulder and just shook his hand and told him that it was a great set and thank you for the incredible music. He was super chill about it and was cool. Didn’t ask for a pic with him because of the exact reason he explained why he doesn’t go anymore and I didn’t want to be the guy to start that and make him uncomfortable. He’s such a chill guy and just a great musician.
I always appreciate how he’s honest. I definitely got huge inspired by what he does.
wasn't expecting a downbeat podcast to be the thing that got me emotional today. but as expected the humor in this episode is extra funny to counteract the heavy stuff.
thank u craig and rory, this was a treat and I really needed it today.
I love Dayseeker! It was awesome getting to know Rory a bit more. Great interview!! Thanks Craig!!
This has to be one of the absolute best interview channels on CZcams. Much love man.
I think this episode is one of the greatest you've made, thank you both for it
Damn, this was a heavy watch for me. My dad was diagnosed with cancer in August and passed in January. I remember one night I made him a steak and he ate maybe 2 bites (the steak was a banger FWIW). The second I left his place, I called my siblings and told them to get on a plane ASAP. It's brutal to see someone transform like that
I lost one of my closest and most artistically inspiring and gifted people to suicide about half a year ago, and I’ve been carrying that hole since
I come to this podcast for the banter usually, but thank you both for being so candid about your experiences with grief. This episode was very healing 💜
Wonderful episode.
This is a beautiful episode. Thank you for sharing these special moments and your vulnerabilities. I don’t think you realize how many people you would have touched as result of what you two shared on this episode 💞
I saw Dayseeker last month and they sounded soooo good it was such a fun show. Excited to watch this.
Talking about weird things, this dropped on my birthday when for whatever reason I was really missing my dad who died when I was 16 - turned 31 when this dropped- it’s wild to hear these things about similar experiences but also on that time - really weird
Anyway such pod as ever
Much love
Loved this one!
Hell ya! Two greats in a room. Can't wait to get deep. I've also recently lost a parent. Love you both 🤘🖤
Such an insightful and interesting episode. One of my favorites so far!
Hell yeah love Rory's vocals excited for this one!
Craig, thank you for these podcasts, i look forward to them every time.
Also, today's topics really hit home, no joke, this is better than some therapy I've had. All the best to you and Rory!
Really appreciate both your honesty and openness with your experiences. Great episode, love Rory and Dayseeker!
ugh i LOVE dayseeker - it makes so so happy you got rory on the podcast craig! one of the best vocalists around.
can't wait to fully watch this one!
Finally!! Two absolute babes
Great podcast. Rory you a real dude. Thanks for the honest conversation and being for being genuine. Hope to see y’all live soon.
Absolutely excellent episode.
Super touching conversation. Thanks for all the content Craig.
And yes, we do also care for the drumming ;-)
i needed this more than I thought.
thank you.
Loved the deepnes of the conversation, very genuin. Cant wait to see Dayseeker live at the end of the year.
Came here from the audio podcast just to say that the conversation you had about Tom and Rory’s dad made me cry at work, love this podcast and you as a person. Side note I saw you playing drums for architects when hollow crown came out during that suicide silence tour for my 18th birthday and Sam dedicated Early Grave to me because I was the only person in the crowd who had seen the music video and from that day forward Architects has been my favorite band.
You have the perfect voice for sleep stories. I could listen to you talk all day
I've been listening to Rory since Arms Like Yours, love to see the collab!
such a great episode
Incredible episode! I think when it comes to stray and everyone writing lyrics that it doesn't matter who writes it because no one else could deliver it like Drew. especially live. His stage presence is godlike
The tears flowed here. Great stuff
Teared up a few different times during this episode. Beautiful conversation, gents.
I lost my dad when i was 17 about 15 years ago, and the grief still hits me hard some days.
I got so hype when I seen this. Love dayseeker and Rory. Defenetly one of the most underrated band.
Love Rory! I can relate so much to the stuff about his dad. I had an almost identical situation with my grandpa. He slowly died over the course of about 8 years from prostate cancer. Watching him get skinnier and skinnier was shocking and wrecked me. And i too, had many dreams of him after he passed. Most of them were stupid and not very deep. But i like to think he was visiting me to let me know he's okay.
Man Rory talking about his dad really hit me hard. Went thru something very similar with mine a few years ago. Just helplessly watching him deteriorate. I do probably a very bad thing and just try to supress that shit but I felt a very odd relief in hearing someone else with a similar experience. I know this comment is dark af sorry, but felt inspired to write it.
The Bowser castle analogy 😂Dayseeker was one of the bands that got me deeper into metal and Rory is one of my fave vocalists in the scene - can't wait to spend my Friday off listening to this one! Thanks Craig
I was naively sat on the fence about Dayseeker before watching this, safe to say, it hits different now. Rory is such a great dude!
Love this band, CA boys. Great live act & cool dudes to catch after the show on the bus just chillin.
@46:00 I really love this Rory. I'm really sorry for your loss. Something similar happened to me. And those moments are great, cause yeah most of that era of fathers were stubborn aaaaf, so I felt that. Gotta love em though! They made us who we are.
P.s. Neon Grave was my intro to Dayseeker 💙
That was a very therapeutic podcast 🤙🏻
I, too, am named after a dead uncle. Wild shit. My older brother was still born. Uncle was born on his birthday (June 16th) and died on mine (May 14th). Life can be wild.
Another artist I have never heard of. Can't wait to dive into their discography. Favorite fucking thing about this podcast. Rory was a great guest. I'm not a spiritual person at all, but that medium story was interesting to hear from a more neutral perspective. I'm not sure I could have been as open.
My father has had cancer for awhile now. They gave him six months to live like seven years ago. Dude is to stubborn. Bastard was born in 44' (I was 92') and fuck it if we don't get along. Hearing Rory talked is kinda making me think maybe it might be time to talk to him. Great talk.
thank you for sharing man
I love Dayseeker.
Met the Dayseeker boys at a VIP and they're the coolest, most chill people.
Been a fan of Rory since his time in Arms Like Yours🤘
The intros are the best!!
I agree, Rory Rodriguez is a great rockstar name!
Heavy. What an ep
I call those dream hangovers. Where my entire day is almost influenced by very specific, vivid dreams.
1:12:01
Craig is the man! Love every podcasts and i dont lisent to half the people, wish i was cool enough to get on here for a dream festival 😂
Craig needs more Subs these podcasts are great
i got to see rory do that acoustic cover of the ghost of you years ago. would have been great!!
How long ago was this record Polaris are my boys 🥺🥺🥺 can't wait to see dayseeker in 8 weeks
What a sweet conversation. I hope they become fast friends.
love dayseeker. got to meet the whole band in Greensboro, NC few months ago and every one of them was so nice and I go back to those moments all the time. Meant so much to me.
would love to see the frontierer guys on here
"Not good looking enough for selfies." 😂😂 On a more serious note, really enjoyed this. Thanks for being willing to explore dark topics.
I fucking adore Rory. So amazing live!
great interview common dayseeker w
I didnt even know Dayseeker were playing a headline show in Dublin in December until listening to this. Thank fuck i listened, would hate to miss that!
Hey Craig, were you on tour with Architects when they opened for Let Live in the US around May 2014?
I’m so sorry. I’m a person who passes out. I’ve been doing it since 14. I’m 32 now. I’ve gone to neurologists and cardiologists and they don’t know other than vasovagal syncope. There’s no rhyme or riddle behind mine. I try to hydrate/sleep/eat. I try to recognize it before it happens to not be that person.
Unfortunately two May’s ago, I passed out at the last song for All Them Witches and it came on suddenly/no warning. I felt terrible. I have no recollection for that one. And I’m hoping I did not stop the show/end song.
The chat around grief is one of the most honest and important moments in all of your podcasts. To capture this kind of open vulnerability is rare so thank you ❤
53:35, what a beautiful mindsent Craig
best vocalist
Not to compare my very much alive dog who I don’t see to your dead dad… BUT! 😂 For real though, I love when the conversations go deep and I can get a better look inside you and your guest’s head.
1:20:53 from what I’ve read, that’s actually already happened. The current IV is not the original IV
My dad passed away in 2009. I had not seen him since me and my mum left in 1994 (abusive relationship). In 2021 I went back to where I grew up for the first time. I went to see where we lived and the holiday park they used to own. While walking around the park my girlfriend shouted me over to look at a bench. On it was a memorial plaque with my name on it. I was named after my dad and it was his. Still very weird to see your name in that context though
“If you don’t want to support me on Patreon and you hate me but you like to leave the house whilst looking kind of cool” has had me laughing for days. Can’t see anyone hating you tbh
what a beautiful man
36:55 I’ve noticed this trend as well. (More medical emergencies at shows) I almost wonder if it’s just the newer generation being inexperienced at shows. They basically missed out on 3/4 years of local/smaller shows (pandemic) when they were discovering the music they enjoy and are now attending these big shows as a first or second ever show.
Guys Wake Up! New Podcast Episode Dropped!!
