THE END OF PARKWAY DRIVE? (Winston McCall interview) | The Punk Rock MBA Podcast 

WE WILL DEFEND THIS MAN 🫡

Parkway Drive and Architects should focus on EPs and Singles I believe their new sounds can work but it needs focus and quality Would like them to collaborate with Falling in Reverse, Korn, Bring me the Horizon, Rise Against or Slipknot!

@@christiandauz3742 Definitely. Trimming excess fat would make their recent albums much more enjoyable

I have nothing against change and as a matter of fact promote it, so long as it never strays too far away from the sound and what earned a band their fans in the first place. Couple of good examples, Sevendust, 311. Though they will experiment they still sound like the bands we know and luv. Actually I will even throw Emmure into that and here they are a band that has had numerous line up changes but still never veer far away from what we like or expect. I think it helps when you’re in a band with the same members like the other 2 great bands I mentioned. Parkway Drive I believe have had a pretty consistent same lineup but still have managed to do a complete 180 at times. I thought Reverence was overall a kickass album and I know some did not like it. I’m not a fan of every track like the pirate sounding metal stuff but everything else was rad. This recent album though, yea not cuttn it for me. Still some good riffage in songs but the whole choir chant style vocals I can’t stand when bands do that, unless it’s done right. Hatebreed pulls that off whenever they have incorporated that because it’s at like a lower register with vocal chants or whatever. Yea maybe I outta give the recent Parkway Drive album a few more full play throughs to see if anything has changed with my opinion, but just not feeling the whole Five Finger Death Punch butt rock approach. Again nothing against change and progression but almost comes across as like a sell out kind of look. I hate to say that because I am not accusing the band of that, but just using examples I guess you could say. Just my opinions is all. Good interview 🤘🎸🤘

I've never seen the person behind the voice until now, and this man reminds me so much of myself 🤣🤣

Yeah bro horizons was unreal. Still is unreal. Best metalwork album of all time. Production, songwriting, everything about it is perfect.

100% agree.

Brother, I’m from the US and parkway drive is big here too, their probably my favorite band to be honest, all my buddies and I would listen to horizon and we shit our pants when deep blue came out

@@probablecosby Same in the UK bro. Anyone between 25-35 who was into metal when they we're younger PWD were their favourite

Same here in Canada!

Parkway Drive was just as popular here in U.S then too. And they're even more popular amongst the "metal scene " now. Even tho I prefer their old sound, I love all their music

Haha! That’s every Australian male aged 30-40 at the moment

HORIZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS

@@hoovy1163 exactly dude

All of them let Jia slave away for years as an employee while they were making bank, any of them could have put their foot down at any point to make him join when he should have. Not sure Winston or the others are that praiseworthy as people based on that alone.

@@owl23452 making bank??? You really think any another metal band aside Metallica are rich and just packed with money?

I wish I liked their new stuff. They were one of my favorite bands for so long and now, just fell off

@@vincenthamilton09 I feel that 100%, were once a top 5 fav band of mine through Atlas 🥲

Thank you!

I was just left of the walkway and the energy through Carrion was hard bro. Best gig I've ever seen and it wasn't even a show I chose to go to I bought my other half tickets and she said she was taking me. I had 6 months to get into parkway and Carrion was the song I needed live to sell them and I bought in.

He's one of those few people in the world that no one can hate

Same here. Ask me about parkway 6 or 7 years ago and I'd have said they're the best, unbeatable. But as time goes, they changed, and me too. Do not listen to metal that much anymore and don't wear only black bands t shirts anymore. But I'll always cherish my time and how this band made me feel. Always happy for these guys success

Absolutely

This is the best way I've seen this feeling described in a very long time. ❤️

Man, I just got into parkway and it’s the last 3 records that do it for me! Going back through the old stuff now too and it’s great too.

Saame lol

Same here man, it was really nice having Parkway Drive play here in Colombia at least once, super humble guys, Cheers!

Yeah. I just really fell out of love with the band after deep blue. Glad they're still doing it, though! Always seemed like good guys.

Natural leader who could do well anywhere

went from one of the greatest metalcore bands, to stadium rock ala Asking Alexandria. Such a shame.

@@RCmetal11 Yup, but I must still respect the dudes. It's a good thing I cant get tired of their first 5 albums (within reason)

Real surfers stand up.
