Andy is a legend in the hardcore/punk world. Embrace him, he’ll without a doubt shine in your sport y’all. He’s special.

RIP one of the greatest metalcore bands of all time. Wish they could have worked out their differences.

ETID is by far one of the best bands I've ever listened to in my life. I listen to a lot of music, basically everything, and I've never found something as unique and special as every time I die. I can honestly say if it wasn't for that band I might not be alive right now and that's probably the only band that I can say that about.

I've always admired Andy's work ethic, a true road dog. From playing guitar in Every Time I Die and touring the world with them to now having the full schedule of a wrestler, glad he's doing what he loves.

ETID is my favorite band of all time. I'm sad it ended, but it's cool to still see Andy succeeding in AEW

Andy was a year behind me in highschool and he wrestled with my younger brother. I've seen him over the years in our home town, at grocery stores, or at the local sub shop. He is just an acquaintance of mine, but I can confidently say he has been a humble, kind and friendly dude since he was a teenager. Happy I know him and his facial hair.

Hearing Andy talk about touring and music again is awesome. Huge fan of his since the beginning great to see his mindset these days 🤘🏼

Didn't even know his real name, just his wrestling name, actually mind blown he was in ETID they were a great band.

Just saw Andy crush it in ATL as The Butcher this week. I was so sad about the ETID breakup (saw them multiple times) but I’m happy he has an outlet to continue to shine. He’s going to be great in the industry.

Literally one of the nicest dudes I've ever met. Glad to see he's having success outside of the music world. It's always cool to see someone from the diy hardcore/metal scene doing well.

What an interesting interview! Hearing Andy’s thought process was truly fascinating…such a great dude

it makes me cry to watch this andy is jus like me the way his brain works and to hear him explain it is like a lift off my shoulders thank you andy

This is/was my band. Got an ETID tattoo and all. Will always love them. Great things always come to an end. Love you Andy!

Great interview. Was great to see Andy talk about ETID and touring.

Saw ETID open for Mastodon a few months before AEW started on TV. I remember seeing this jacked guitar player and being blown away by them. Found out way later that he played with them.

I'm from Buffalo NY been a fan for many many years, I've always tried making to their Xmas shows every year lol, Etid was definitely one of the greatest bands I've ever heard lyrical and musical wise 🙌, it's a shame they ended 😔 , but Andy is such a talent and such a lovely guy. I am glad that he is doing something that he also loves. Shocked that people didn't know he was also doing heavy rifts in a band he helped create, besides being a wrestler. Good to hear that he is alright Much love though to all.

He is such a kind and gentle person jfc I adore Andy, I’ll always adore etid, I’m grateful that The Butcher gets to keep going.

I miss ETID..still one of my fav band

Wish Andy the best in everything he does. Still jam to the new black a couple times a week. ETID are legends.

Loved ETID so much, but hope they all find a brighter path moving forward! Also LOVE seeing Andy in the ring in AEW! He's such a good talent!

RIP ETID. One of my all time favorite bands. You are will be missed.

ETID is my favorite band of all time, and Andy is one of my favorite dudes of all time. This break up broke my heart.

map change literally changed my life, i felt so alone and upset about everything in my life, then i heard map change and the breakdown “the glory i had witnessed…” that part, for whatever reason, gave me a reason to almost enjoy something in life for the first time in life, it got easier from there

Andy is a wonderful man. Met him at pwg bola in like 2015. He was awesome to chat with. So happy to see him killing it in aew

This may sound dramatic but one of my biggest regrets is missing their final Christmas show. Granted, I didn’t know it’d be their last show, but still. ETID forever.

I love Andy. I'm not a wrestling fan, but I hope he has as much success there as in music.

I saw them playing with mastodon and coheed in Dallas back in 2019. I was blown away by the really good riffs and just their overall sound. When they dropped radical I listened to it for like 6 months straight

I do respect and appreciate that they ended things at a high point. Now is the time to go back and reflect on the discography. I'm lucky that I still have ETID, that's new to me, to discover.

All we can hope for is Etid didn't end on such bad terms that they'll never get back together. They were a brotherhood that created some of the most iconic music in the metal scene.

Such a shame how it all played out. Especially considering their last album was one of their best.

No ETID still hurts and will hurt for a long long time. They literally got better every album with their best being their last. Just brutal. I hope one day they can work it out for everyone's sake.

I've been listening to them since I was 14. This still stings

Andy... the greatest dude ever.

Andy is amazing, I hope he does great in his new career

First show I ever went to was ETID, chiodos, and atreyu when I was about 12 in 2006, awesome show awesome band that had an incredible run

ETID is one of my favorite bands ever. Last two albums were soo good. Upsetting they couldn’t work it out, who knows what the next album could have been :/

my heart is still broken. hoping for a comeback

That I and the words Every Time I Die. Will always be on my forearm

The Butcher was in ETID?! Mind blown.

the dude is a monster in the pit too!!! When Andy William's dances -he becomes a janitor, because the floor clears.

I was at their final 2 shows. There was some obvious tension during those sets, but it felt so fucking good to not only hear those songs from Radical, but to see them put aside their differences for the hometown crowd when we knew in our guts that it was most likely going to be the last time.

Butcher is the GOAT!

Love this dude no homo

Andy with a Grateful Dead shirt on is a glorious

Saw Andy at Wegmans the other day and have no idea what to do so I just left lol

Tana Talk 3 was a classic

Pro wrestling is honestly no different than being a touring musician.. it's a hard lifestyle performing infront of people and in a different city every night while living on the road. Coming from a band setting I always thought Andy would have adjusted well to the lifestyle of a pro wrestler. He's also physically in better shape now than when he first got into AEW. I remember watching the night he debuted on Dynamite when he pulled an undertaker and came out from underneath the ring through the ring mat. I immediately thought is that Andy from ETID????

Not my favorite band by any means but man oh man that last album was just magic

I'd love to see Dan Soder, Ron Funches and Andy do a Rock n Roll wrestling podcast ut would be epic

Holy fuck I did not realize dude went from one of the greatest bands ever to a wrestler

AEW need to push him more dude is so naturally likable and can be an Uber baby face .

I might be the only one, but if Andy misses the itch to play live, I personally would love to see him join God's Hate for a set. That'd be fuckin' SICK!!!
