“The three of us [me, Mike Dean, Woody Weatherman] all learned how to play our instruments together. We had a common interest in bands like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple. Bands who had different time signatures etc and for whatever reason, we morphed into Corrosion of Conformity. It's been about thirty years now.” YearsDifferentReasonPlayTogetherThreeBlackInterestCommonBandInstrumentsThirtyEtcConformityPurpleMikeThirty YearsDeanSignaturesSabbathWoodyDifferent TimesCommon InterestsBlack SabbathWeathermenDeep Purple Author:Reed Mullin
“Jumping back into it was easy as apple pie, it was natural. Honestly, I'm not trying to be nostalgic and talk about the old days but I really believe wholeheartedly that the three of us, Woody Weatherman, Mike Dean & myself really learned how to play our instruments together and now that we are playing together again it can't be anything but natural.” TryingBelievePlayTogetherThreeEasyNaturalInstrumentsHonestlyApplesPieJumpingMikeOld DaysNostalgicDeanWoodyWholeheartedlyTogether AgainApple PieWeathermenPlaying Together Author:Reed Mullin
“The very first practice we [Woody Weatherman, Mike Dean & myself ] did it was like, "Oh ok, I get it." We were jamming on some crazy ass, out of the box, weird time signature riffs and I got it, whereas anyone else who was playing with them recently would have been like, "What? What are you doing?" So I think there's something unspoken between the three of us that makes us Corrosion of Conformity.” ThinkingFirstsHas BeensThreePracticeCrazyBoxesAssConformityMikeDeanSignaturesUnspokenWoodyWeathermen Author:Reed Mullin
“I don't think we really planned it ahead of time but rather oozed out of our pores. All three of the demonstrative themes of Corrosion of Conformity are on there. The Hardcore/Punk from the 80's, the late 80's/early 90's mathy metal and finally the more Pepper, swampy/doomy stuff. We love all three so that's what came out on the album and I think it came out magically.” ThinkingThreeStuffLateAlbumsThemeConformityMetalsPunkHardcorePeppersAhead Of Time Author:Reed Mullin
“We've played with Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, The Ramones. You name any punk band and we've probably played or toured with them all the way up to and including Soundgarden, who we've toured with three times now. We also toured with Metallica for a year. But yeah, Megadeth was the only one we were a little sketchy about because um, it was a little sketchy.” WayYearsLittlesThreeNamesBlackBrainBandYeahThreatIncludingFlagsPunkMinorsThree TimesMetallicaRamonesSketchyMegadeth Author:Reed Mullin
