Philip Labonte

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and everyone who's watching this while your parents aren't around, welcome to another episode of Tower Power Hour.

We have the great Phil Labonte joining us.

How you doing, Phil?

Hi, everybody.

Now, I know we've talked a lot about people in recovery, and that's something that we share together.

Recently, we were chatting amongst each other about an interview that blew up that I recently had with Phil Labonte of All That Remains.

And I encourage people to actually watch the interview before just going by headlines and picking apart things.

certain things because I had fellow veterans coming at me.

[laughs] It was just a few.

I was like, "Oh, this is..." Because, uh, what prompted me to write it was I saw an exchange between Doc Coyle, who comes on this show, guitar player, God forbid, now he's in Snot, and Phil Labonte, who is the singer of a band called All That Remains.

Phil Labonte is a bit of a right-wing douche nozzle.

I can't tell if he's a troll or if he's serious or a little bit of both.

But he goes, "Metallica made this statement, and I haven't seen anyone on the left or the right condemn anything James has had to say." And I just responded, "Hmm, I literally wrote about James, but the book's not out yet.

Rage.

Number two, a Phil LaBonte 30-minute TED Talk.

Mm-mm.

Zakk would beat the crap out of him on principle alone.

I hope Phil LaBonte brings his guns.

Phil comes too much.

He comes around too often.

That TED Talk-

That's how I see it.

You know, I wanted to ask you because my buddy, Phil Labonte, is the singer of All That Remains and one of the more formational bands of metalcore.

And he always says that at some point it became clear that when you were looking at a new metalcore band, you just kind of assumed they were Christian.

Like there was all of a sudden this explosion.

Do you know how old you...

Can you imagine, I love it, there was a, I was talking to Phil, uh, Phil Labonte from, uh, All That Remains.

He's a, he's a regular on Tim Pool.

Good friend.

I said, "Do you get, do you get hate, like, for being..." Like, 'cause he's in his 50s.

I think he's 54.

So he's like, just a, like a couple years, four years younger than I am, right? I said, "Do you get any hate for, like, being in a band at your age?" He goes, "Dude, all the fucking time." But it's because people don't know he's Phil Fucking Labonte in All That Remains.

So people will see him, like, on Instagram and they'll be like, "Oh, imagine being his age and doing that." And I'm like, "Yeah, you're only gonna ever imagine it." Hey.

Oh, oh, shit, this is pretty short.

I could read this.

Um, Philip Labonte, a close personal friend of mine, uh, the frontman of All That Remains is drawing fresh attention to his 2024 op-ed, which is titled "The Silent Crisis: Why Society's Failing Men and Boys." Uh, [chuckles] should make him the fucking chairman for the, for the Commission on the Care of Men and Boys.
