YOB "Hometown" Pt 2: Mike Scheidt Traces Roots of Band's Unique Doom Sound: 

Man, it bums me out that someone as cool as Mike had to suffer like he did. His musical ability is such a reward. Glad I discovered YOB for myself.

How couldn't parents be proud of such a humble genius

Was just introduced to YOB, and I decided to make the drive from El Paso TX to Albuquerque to see them in June, I can tell it’s going to be life changing

I just started listening to YOB because of these interviews. Never knew I liked them.

I could listen to Mike narrate the most boring thing in the world and still be captivated. Such an incredible tone to his voice. Can't wait to see them next week.

I just discovered this band and I’m blown away. I love the fact he’s not just metal but a student of all genres of music.

Townes Van Zant....huge thumbs up bro!!!!!!

This man gets it. Really digging this.

YOB is such an excellent example of great American metal. Thank you Mike.

Part 3. When??

Zoot = Zoot Horn Rollo of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band. Mike got taught right.

Got into yob because mike gave me a copy of his first yob album at McKenzie music where he worked. I walked in looking for a guitar pedal and he gave me a copy of yob. Well, I didn't think much of it until I listened to it like 20 times in a week. It was a different sound and Eugene has embraced this culture of music. Its a perfect type of music for this city. The wow hall and other small venues embrace the bands the sound different yet eugene is a world of its own from country boys to hippies it definitely is a crazy place at times but its my home. Its very diverse but exciting.

such a cool, humble dude, YOB are a fantastic band and I came pretty late into Doom and also in trying to teach myself how to play guitar as well. I think he really is right in trying out different musical styles, techniques, it helps you grow your musical vocabulary, but also yourself as a person: learn to appreaciate other styles, have another view on things and so forth.

Same here, thankful for the support my mom gave me. Which was the same thing, she took me snd picked me up from shows, and bought me cds. Like he said, she didn't understand it but still supported even in small ways. My dad still doesn't understand, but I think he's slowly grasping why I love the music I do. Such a great band!

been listening to yob for a while but this pushed me over the edge to support them however I can. buy the records. get a t shirt or two. great band.

Incase you didn't know YOB IS LOVE!

This is so inspiring....thank you Mike, Travis and Aaron for your beautiful music.

Did he just say he learned from Bill Harkleroad, aka Zoot Horn Rollo of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band?? Absolutely did not see that one coming but I can sort of see it in his playing. So cool

Mike is a great guy. I've only seen Yob twice but both times he was a fantastic person. Very sweet.

YOB is love, love ya Mike

Such a good guy. I've been lucky to have met him, so glad people like him are making such amazing music

Very cool guy. Excellent songwriter. In heavy rotation. Hope to see live again soon as safe to do so

Bolt thrower. Nice.

God if any band captures the ethereal vibe of Oregon.

Real cool guy. Much respect.

This makes me respect Sheidt even more. I can totally relate.

Great stuff!!

Small town life sucks when you are different. Growing up in the early '80's listening to metal and being smaller than my piers meant being picked on alot. Jr. High sucked for me, being shoved into lockers, constant bullying.....until one day i said fuck this and i one punched a jock square in the nose and broke it. Shit stopped immediately after that. Mike, i can totally relate.

O man! Great man! But those cookies 🍪 - I WANT IT!!!

love this

Bill AKA Zoot = Bill Harkleroad from Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band?

ayy ese i need a yob

At 0:30 forward I get a real chuck schuldiner vibe from mike

Wasn’t there supposed to be 3 parts to this?

Dude is an expert at friendly now lol

I didn’t know the was a part two.

Very important that parents support their kids' interests. If they try to supress it, I imagine that's what creates real screw ups

Wanna see that footage with Travis and aaron

Mike's Dad in the VHOL shirt :)

YOB I S L O V E

I don’t know Yob for a long time, but I guess the sound in the background is from him too? Which song is it?

Where is part three?!

What a top tier mother

Bill Harkleroad?

Anyone that’s into Townes Van Zandt, New Order and Cathedral is automatically cool. Open minded, accepting and curious. Great human traits. - Rick / PureSalem Guitars

It's too short just release the whole thing at once.

I find a lot of more interesting metal players have country backgrounds

Fuck man, I love YOB, then they split up. Then I was stoked about MIDDIAN, before all the legal crap and had to break up. But then YOB got back together and it was all good again :D

Open track name plz?

ADHD is one of the leading mental disorders that bring people down(including me.) Music is the only escape!

Mike, can we be friends?

Why does Mike look older than his own mother?

Umm I think I like this?

So my dudes what happened to that jef whitehead video? Wasnt it supposed to come out 2 months ago?
