MATT GREINER INTERVIEW - Drums 'N' Jesus - Clark Danger - 2012 - August Burns Red

[Adamkooooooo]

matt nicholls please"

[Jyjelly00]

shoulda closed the door! haha

[DRUMer2412]

Meddler favorite song! Yes I'm like Matt

[DecimateDaWeak]

can you shut the gay backround music Matts trying to talk ! have respectt.

[carlinhosjpg3]

Matt is a great drummer, one of the best in the world, but the difference is he uses his talents to honor and praise to God.

[BASEDAHUNNETTHOUSAND]

Is he christian ?

[XGhodiX]

@BASEDAHUNNETTHOUSAND Yes. Very much so :)

[YourMomIsATurtle]

someone farted at 6:25

[hendriksen777]

Wow brother thank you both so much for doing this interview! Love hearing you both talk about the King.

[HRRyan2]

I'm an atheist, and yeah it makes me a little sad that these excellent musicians are deluded by christianity. I don't particularly care for their jesus/god lyrics, but I listen to them for their musical playing ability, not the quality of their lyrics. I do wish this interview was a little more about drumming and the band than god...

[Drshavargo461]

@HRRyan2 the interview is called drums 'n JESUS...

[A7Xblood]

These are actually really good questions!

[mroche1991]

what's the song playing in the background when he starts asking what inspired him to become a drummer at 3:40?

[xJROMER0x]

Matt is awesome, one of my favourite drummers. Really inspirational 

[hardon4babes]

Question #2. answer-apostate.

[xBickox]

@hardon4babes im with you mate ;)

[encounter50]

DUDE EITHER TALK ABOUT YOUR DRUMS OR YOUR NEW ALBUM. NO ONE LISTENS TO YOU FOR YOU RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, THEY LISTEN TO YOU FOR THE MUSIC SO STOP TALKING ABOUT JESUS CAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THAT!!

[ZimmoShore]

@encounter50 That's not true. I liked hearing it. Stop being selfish. And let him ask what he wants.

[MrPresidentBrobama]

@encounter50 I want to hear that... so don't be so closed minded.

[heyitsdrake]

@encounter50 If it wasn't for Matt's beliefs as a Christian, he wouldn't be making music in the first place. Jesus is the reason he makes music, and just because you don't want to hear about it, doesn't mean you have to be ignorant and claim that "no one wants to hear it."

[maryws14]

What melody is on his Ipod?

[XoSTRINGBEANoX]

that would be sick to get an interview from Matt Greiner and Adam Grey.

[stickydate07]

THANK GOD A GOOD INTERVIEWER!

[mike23grass]

Is it just me or does Clark remind you of Captain America? :)

[payableondrummer]

favorite drummer, he acts just like me and my friends lol.

[Represent613]

awesoooooome, living with lions in the background :)

[reyman12341]

he wrote meddler?? that's sick!!

[VocalSongCovers]

Omg that change at 0:52 XD

[noconflictbanana]

The last part was just so corny..

[ddavis12341]

Matt, your BLESSED! Keep doing your thing man, come to INDIANAPOLIS!! I want to preform in front of a roaring audience some day!

[heckawesomefunnydude]

How did you get to interview Matt?

[Tonydums]

Matt + Sweater vests.... boss

[iBrutalWaffle]

this moved my cold heart.

[Taylor9651]

hey bro i love what your doing and as a fan i was wondering if you could try doing a cover from a band called ERRA!! they are from alabma and super technical and iwant to see how complex there stuff is lol

[TheRawJS]

Matt's an amazing drummer and such a respectable man. Too bad he is so steadfast in the belief that his life is meaningless if not lived for an imaginary "greater being" whose existence is profoundly improbable.

[GOTCHAsc0ped]

@TheRawJS Ok, we get it. You aren't a christian. Let his beliefs be his own.

[pjlierman]

@TheRawJS he does seem like a super cool dude: but i would encourage you to check out some of C.S. Lewis's philosophical/logical looks at Christianity. I don't think it's quite fair to think of God as improbably without digging into it a little...

:)

[TheRawJS]

@pjlierman I have done much digging over the past few years. I'm familiar with Christianity because I was raised as a christian and all of my immediate family believes I'm going to hell. I recommend you read through The God Delusion by Dawkins. I will take your advice regarding C.S. Lewis and his reasoning.

[pjlierman]

@TheRawJS thanks for the suggestion, i'll be sure to check it out! and probably the best place to start with lewis is "The Abolition of Man" it's really short but pretty deep.

[TheUnwantedPanda]

the one dislike was a person who didn't get tickets for August Burns Red

[GabeDrumBeats]

Its one thing to talk of god and another to live for him.

Regardless of what the bible says about jesus not accepting you as his child or god, hell and death are wrong.

There is a reason why priests fail at exorcisms....they lack the basic ingredients for it to work.

Good intent and pure love for the affected person.

Clark just talks. Matt has the right ideas but there is still much to learn.

There is only Love, Light and Truth.

[jjalkaline]

both those guys can play.

[MetalDrummer1218]

Clark Dangers Face is sooo annoying. it just bothers me. especially when he plays drums. lol!

[Dlohr44]

Talked to him the other night. He doesn't just act like this on camera he is the coolest guy i have ever met.

[AmitKanfi]

Yo Clark I'm so jealous dude! nice to see where ur at! Cheers,

-Amit

[XGhodiX]

The world needs more people like Matt.

[GINASFSIDKAYBICTD]

Matt is my hero. OH MY GOD.

[BigEvan96]

lmao Bells...because your last lead singer was in it? lol

[JuzziBurnsRed]

Awesome. Matt is right. You either follow Christ or you don't. Jesus says in Luke 14:27 "Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple."

I also met Matt last summer and it was awesome. Looking forward to meet him again this year.

God bless you Clark!

[indiekid808]

For those looking, you can find BELLS at facebook . com / wearebells !

[wecamesbromans]

1:22 UH HA HA HA HA HA.

[CrackHeadJoe100]

Dude. Your s lucky to meet him. Hes basically the reason i started drumming and love that genre of music. Hes one of my idols and A good christian man. I hope one day I will meet him. God bless

[derianbr]

I love the way Matt laughs

[Steaksaucem1ke]

FUCK YOU COLTEN . i was on xbox telling my friend about how this video had zero dislikes and he got on his account just to dislike it ):

[VeryFreeBird]

i love your personality brother! great job "Clark Danger"

great men of God! :)

[mschuman58]

NO! I want to know what you eat!

[samcp12]

interview with adam gray please!

[ClarkDangerDrums]

@samcp12 Sure man, I'll try! We'll see what we can do, brother!

[rockthissummer]

hey clark 2 things you rock and you rock for interviewing matt. he is an such a master at what he does. thanks he inspires me to try what he does.. which is impossible. peace bro

[KD3LL]

Thumbs up if you watch the whole things

[tata777sabri]

i need subtitles in spanish!! please!!! this video like a lot latin people...please subtitlesssss!!!!!! thanks

[AfterLife112323]

This is amazing, I'm a guitarist though and the only thing that would make it better is if it was with Jb.

[somethingorange]

On his knees, next to a priest? 13:08

[mrfreedomthomas]

Alright Clark....spill the beans....did you touch his set?

[mejbeavs]

this is amazing clark, thank you.

[King7990]

Matt Griener's laugh....I love it

[PentucketXC05]

Hey Clark, nice Wonder Years reference in the description. Yes, I noticed it (:

[drumchild90]

@ClarkDangerDrums Idk if you did this on purpose, but I noticed when Matt answers the questions the background music fits the description. Like @7:48 he says I write a lot of the break downs, and then *boom* the breakdown to Carol the bells happens. Same @9:30 where he explains drummers should be supporting the band, and when the back beat comment happens, the groovy part of Empire happens. lol good interview

[though14]

Superman with Matt Greiner. LOL

[dyontje12]

MATT GREINER the best drummer in the world

[kaseyyydrums]

Awesome questions dude

[girraffesrox]

Great to see Clark being so humble despite being a kickass drummer himself. Keep it up brudda! Hope i'll get to speak to Matt when ABR visits my city in April!

[ParadoxicPhycosis]

That's awesome man. Matt Greiner tought us so many things in theses 20 minuets.

[ddrumdaz1]

Favourited instantly.

[davidtodor]

Oh Sleeper is underrated, and Wolves at the Gates. Check them out. BTW Clark, awesome, awesome interview. Big fan of the stuff you do!

[BrandockTKC]

Dude, the way you lit up when he said something that intrigued you is great! Haha, I can tell you were super excited, I'm not at all surprised! Haha. This is so great! Someday, a fan boy like me will be interviewing you just like this, mark my words!

This is great!

[FameOverDemise45]

0 dislikes, thats what the fuck is up.

If you don't like Matt Greiner you're a scrub.

[Theloveevannalynch]

OMG OMG OMG holy poop you are soooo lucky one of my favorite drummers by far he has the tech schillz like a boss your rockkkkk for getting to interviewing him!!!!!

[mrstealyogirl2012]

Ihave so much respect for Matt <333

[LittleTrupp]

Clarkes a Christian?

[yoshigirl411]

Its so encouraging to see two strong Christian guys with words of wisdom. There are so few men out there who have hearts for Jesus! Great video. God bless :)

[randolphd00d]

Need to save money to fly back to Philippines Just to meet this guy. See you in April 28 dude.

[iiSasquatch]

i want to add another comment, but Matt you have been some one i looked up to but didn't know why, now i know why i looked up to you, your a great guy, and well i wish me and my band were still around but we didn't keep Christ with us while we were going. You literally put me in tears. God Bless You.

[stephenlynn46]

Man.. I've always looked up to Matt. One of my favorite drummers for sure. Not just cause he is amazing at what he does, but the reason he does it, and his heart is in the right place. He isn't doing it for his own gain, but for god, and thats what makes him such an inspiration.

[iiSasquatch]

INDONESIA! my favorite song! love Matt! your both great poeple. keep it up!

[javier20893]

Matt is so right! I hit that wall so many times, but music theory helped me move forward, trying new patterns in different timings, and etc !! love that man!! God Bless!!

[IronBoyo]

Wow I'm not a huge fan of ABR but after watching this video he's definitely one of my new favorite drummers, but not just because of his drumming, but because he is both intellectual and spiritual and he is using his talents to glorify God. I hope that I can be something like this one day. Maybe not as a drummer but as a man of God! Thank you so much for posting this Clark! Both you and Matt are an inspiration to me!

[Markmeister182]

thank you

[Markmeister182]

thank you clark;)

[SkyrimIsBoss]

Gonna see them play on Jan 13th!

[Pfurlan26]

jesus is overrated, but atleast his band is sick

[DimebagDisciple]

"you're jealous of these shoes, aren't you? :P"

"haha kinda!"

"yeah? :P koz Jealousy's a sin, you know :| ..."

[DimebagDisciple]

what he says about being consistent is so true man - im not super into Christianity by any means, but i definitely respect people like him and Jake just for being so driven by and so true to what they believe in.

[chaoticfirearm]

Thanks so much for doing this, dude. You and Matt are some of my biggest influences to keep drumming. It's amazing to hear his real theories behind drumming and how I could improve myself.

[KaoticMentality]

Do more interviews AND drum covers. Your good at both!!

[xXxZOMBIExXxxx]

I wish August Burns Red sang with Acacia Strain lyrics haha that would be EPIC

[lumpyandbump1]

@xXxZOMBIExXxxx Why would ABR ever do that.

[xXxZOMBIExXxxx]

@lumpyandbump1 didnt say they would dude, but it would be fuckin dope if they did.

[xXxZOMBIExXxxx]

matt is a fuckin boss

[AllMusicWelcome12]

13:44 That is why I love August Burns Red. They care about what they believe unlike other bands. My heart drops when I hear that members of a band are Christians and then go show something completely different on stage or backstage.

[aaron2414]

@AllMusicWelcome12 religion has NOTHING to do with musical talent man, I have been in the "church scene" for too many years. Talent is talent REGARDLESS of a religious preference. Practice make him a better DRUMMER... his alleged Jesus might have proposed morals to make him a better person (in his own mind) but he is an amazing drummer thanks to his personal sacrifice in a practice room..it's Matt's own personal discipline that allows him to be on the level he is on.

[AllMusicWelcome12]

@aaron2414 I never said anything about his talent. So...I don't understand where your reply came from.

[ysmnthelight]

HAHAHAH "I hate Josh Manuel, Kevin Nordeste sucks too Stop Reading the tags". That made me lol. All kidding aside, this is incredible Clark. What an awesome experience, and a very insightful interview. Congrats!

[BlitzzBeatzz]

awesome interview bro! really inspirational stuff

[RobertJordanMedia]

He is my all time roll model

[DillonDrumsYDG]

i may not be christian, but matt is one of the most inspirational people ever.

[rooneyrodriguez11]

your so blessed to get to be with him, im 14 and i look up to him. when i met him at warped i almost cried...

[TheRagingQuietDrums]

@rooneyrodriguez11 Im meeting him and Adam Gray and tears will probably be shed

[guanacoboy7]

that was an awesome interview!! thanks 4 sharing!!!

matt u iz awesome!! =D

[pierces19941]

A lot of awkward laughs haha

[slyALEXxx]

So jealous, matt is my complete idol D:

[foxgentlemaenner]

christianity - why are people hated for believing in god? :< makes me sad everytime I experience it.

[aaron2414]

@foxgentlemaenner the same way people were hated for believing in a flat earth... not a fair comparison but still .... matt is a hell of a talented drummer (again, regardless of a religious preference)

[cazchiefs]

@566kamakazijoe Amen to that.

[TheRookiese]

@566kamakazijoe right on man :D .. close your eyes is amazing

[MrSurfsAlot182]

How did you get the change to interview him?

[cococrisp20]

can't believe you got this opportunity awesome interview.

[hypermagex]

Awesome
