I was in Walmart and overheard a kid ask his mom for chocolate milk. She got it for him and my initial thought was "lucky, I want chocolate milk". Then I remembered that I am 30 and I can buy chocolate milk whenever I want! So I did! This song really resonated with me.

The problem is that you need to pay for it yourself when you're grown up. There's always something with chocolate milk, isn't it?

The one things that made me the happiest was Rob's "What the f***?" after hearing Andrew's banshee call. This show is AWESOME
October is gonna have so much GUSTO this year. Normally it's like a "Oh we haven't done this in a bit lets see if we still have it" but FoO is gonna end up as a whole concept album at this point.

The difficulty of playing death metal drums with bad technique can not be overstated. Well done Rob.
We get an insight on how Rob thinks in TAB rather than standard notation, at 1:10 , he mentioned that in the past , but seeing it in action was pretty cool. I love to see how people think when it comes to music !

That first scream was hilarious!
I love how quickly the two of you can just match the vibe of whatever style you get stuck with for the challenge. Rob was so in his element here considering how banjo metal was a staple on his channel back in the day, and it was funny to see how quickly he slipped right in to that mindset like it was just business as usual.
I love how these two just live in each other's heads now. The symbiosis is starting to be uncanny.
RIP to Rob's legs. Even knowing what you two are capable of, the end result was better than I expected.
This is perfect practice for 1st of october
that first scream is wicked
Andrew being confused what to write about and Rob being in his element on the bass is hilarious
Sounds a bit like a Pokemon Battle theme

Pretty good job boys! Though I am here sitting with an itch for a sound that I hoped you would do with Banjo, Rhodes and 'Heavy'. When you picked those 3 things, my brain immediately thought of a mix between Panopticon and Conan. Low and slow and with some eerie Rhodes chords and a slow twanging banjo. I wish I was capable of making something like that.

Knuckles calling Rob the "banjo metal guy" killed me.
So do you guys meet once a month for this, or was this just some epic month long recording session that we're being treated to, one song at a time?
please keep this show going forever
that blastbeat Rob plays at the beginning is so sick haha great episode
Rucc's "what the f#ck?!" killed me. 😅😅😅
This was the most entertaining episode yet 😂. The filming, editing, and energy of the crew are all significantly improving each episode. As well as both of your awareness of the clock and how to use it to your advantage. Great job guys!

You and Rob are speedrunning music, can't wait for FoO this year!
I seriously don't remember the last video that made me smile THAT MUCH. That whole thing was so much fun I can't even begin to describe. KEEP. IT. UP. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!
The frantic editing really compliments the style of the song !
that was incredible. how you guys come up with an entire song in an hour will never stop entertaining me. Thank you for what you do.
You guys are having way way way too much fun. Please keep up with the great vibes that make every instrument's player watching, to make their own kind of music ;-)
Rob is so goddamn sweaty and then it cuts to Andrew being like maybe I should yell shred?
I LOSTTTT IT WHEN ANDREW FIRST SCREAMED
This is ma fav series eva, just puts a smile on my face.
Andrew really have a good metal voice
Oh my god poor Rob when Andrew screamed!
this song has such FOO 6th song in a day energy
Rob's reaction after the scream was 10/10
I really enjoy everything you guys do. Thanks a ton for inspiration and just being yourselves and making art. I truly appreciate it
This series is so much fun and such a great way to start the weekend!
Surprised this song isn't on the Sonic Boom bandcamp [yet?]. Great work as always.
You guys have to do an episode where you use the same instrument or synth sounds or something and see what you guys create with each of them
This series is my favorite thing on KZread! I get such a jolt of excitement every time a new episode comes out. I've been following you both for years and to see your creativity combined in such a fun way is such a service to the world! Keep it up guys!!!
Oh this is a combo I can get behind
I love how after rob finished drumming he acts like he just did a line and like he really needs to go to the bathroom 😂
6:17 i would've screamed so hard!! rob is a beast
THIS IS THE MOST SONGS TO WEAR PANTS TO SONG I'VE HEARD FROM YOU IN SO LONG! THIS IS BASICALLY SONGS TO WEAR PANTS TO, MODERN! (Which, I mean, the whole premise of making some of these songs is so wacky already it's really close. But I really mean it, this has such strong STWPT vibes~!)
bro andrew's screams are just insanity
These are so good. I would love like a DVD box set or something. The complete collection.
These are ALL SO GOOD! MORE SONIC BOOM!
an episode where the team goes around and records a bunch of random sounds and the Andrew and Rob has to do the mixing.
pusher in the control room killed me 😂😂
I've been greatly enjoying these videos, as well as others of both yours and Rob's. I'm even more impressed (and inspired) after seeing in your past videos and your channel description that you're hearing-impaired. I'm very hearing-impaired as well, but more in the upper range than the lower range (been that way since birth, more or less). You and Rob have great energy and put out some awesome-sounding stuff. I can only hope to get anywhere in the vicinity of that skill level, given that I'm starting (well, seriously starting; I've dabbled before) much later in life. Keep up the good work!
Has a definite psycho stick vibe! Love it
That scream!💀it stole my soul!
That was awesome!!! ♥ Y'all are so fun, I love your collabs!
