00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.520
Man, there's been yes, so many shows, there's there was

18
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.640
a debut album, you know, we went for a couple

19
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.000
of couple of other members and stuff. So Jack is

20
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:06.959
a new member of the band.

21
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.200

22
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:11.680

23
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.599
Yeah, it's been incredible man, Like we played the Yager

24
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.040
Mister stage back in twenty twenty two. Never expected to

25
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.200
be asked back on the Safety stage this year. You know,

26
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.400
we got our debut album out in twenty twenty three,

27
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.959
so the year after we played and we kind of

28
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.120
didn't think we would come back this year until our

29
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.519
second album was out and we had something new to say.

30
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.200
But you know, we started talking about that and and

31
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.480
Simon all invited us back and we yeah, we couldn't

32
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:37.719
couldn't have been happier, man.

33
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.920
So that's amazing, Yeah, phenomenal. And I see you got

34
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.280
a little bit of sunlight today, man, I've.

35
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.280
Been I've been catching sun like this entire weekend. I'm

36
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.319
looking much redder than I ever have done before. But

37
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.560
that way, you know, I'm going to come home later

38
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.159
on Monday and I'm going to not hear the end

39
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.799
of it off. My partner's going to be, yeah, absolutely,

40
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.560
just scolding me for just like not wearing any sung

41
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.319
cream at all. Too many bees and not enough suncream,

42
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:09.719
you know, it's the whole deal.

43
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.919
Well, I don't know about you, but he's got a

44
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:14.240
bikini line.

45
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.360
Yeah, we're working on it man. And and Chris over

46
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.000
here was hoping to get some dragon scale suntan. But

47
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:21.360
I think you've done it right so far.

48
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.039
Right, Yeah, the Factor fifty's been doing its job.

49
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:26.039
It is.

50
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.719
It's pretty good because I'm wondering if you didn't put

51
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:34.199
on if the sun would turn your blackout into a redout.

52
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.560
Yeah, well, I've never put it to the test, but yeah,

53
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.800
I think I'm tattooed enough that maybe it wouldn't make

54
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.639
a whole lot of difference.

55
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:42.759
So yeah, there you go.

56
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:50.319
So what was the difference between playing the Jaeger stage

57
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:51.800
and the Sophie Stay.

58
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.800
Oh, man, that's a that's a good question. Like the

59
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.879
Jaeger stage. At the time, we were a very new band,

60
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.919
Like I think we played Bloodstuff was like our eighth

61
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.520
ever show. We just did like metal to the masses

62
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.680
and then came straight here. So we were extremely green

63
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:07.199
at that.

64
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:08.879
Point, fresh at that point.

65
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:09.240
Yeah.

66
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.120
Yeah, but man, even even now we've been a band

67
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:17.080
like four years, watching our friends like Celestial Sanctuary play

68
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.039
the Sophie stage yesterday and frog Lord, we were looking

69
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.680
at that stage thinking, holy crap, that's a big stage, man,

70
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.599
and yeah, like not afraid to yeah, not afraid to

71
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.080
say we were nervous. But as soon as you like,

72
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.159
it looks incredible, it looks massive. As soon as you

73
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.400
get up there, you just go into water pilot. Man,

74
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.520
It's like it's like any other show. You just kick

75
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:38.560
an ass right, Like.

76
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.360
Isn't that really how it is for every gig because

77
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.240
it's like you're nervous before you get up on stage

78
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.719
and then there's this like switch in your brain.

79
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.039
It's definitely like that. It's like especially with sort of

80
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.000
like a lot of like when you're playing like streaking

81
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.680
the shows or anything like that, there's always like a

82
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.479
little bit of nerves that kind of come into play

83
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.479
and then you sort of like you know, you switch

84
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.719
off at you know, when when the you know, when

85
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.919
the first board displays, there's like, right here we go,

86
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:06.800
this is going to be it for forty five minutes

87
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.000
or so. Yeah, the Sophie that there was like like

88
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.199
as much as the kind of I suppose the that

89
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.759
process was still kind of the same, they were just

90
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.439
felt like so much more nerves, like you kind of

91
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.079
like walk it. You walk out on the stage, and

92
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:23.399
it's like we were really like it. We had a

93
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.959
you know, a really big tent like just full of

94
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.519
people like back to front, and.

95
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:29.920
I was gonna say it sounds it's going to sound

96
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.920
corny as hell, but I'm gonna I've been saying corny

97
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.519
shit all day, so I'm going to carry on saying

98
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:37.279
corny shit, but we had so many friends there and

99
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:42.279
and in that, I mean, we've got so I've become

100
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.319
like a like a bloodstock DVOT. When we first played it,

101
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.480
I'd never been to this festival before. That was the

102
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.720
first time I've been. Every year since, I've come back

103
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.839
every single year without fail. I've come back to this festival.

104
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.879
I've never done that with any other music festival. So

105
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.360
there are there were people in the tent watching us,

106
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.920
shouting out to me, waving. Who are people that I

107
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.240
met the first time we played, who have said, oh man,

108
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.360
thank god you guys have played again. Now I get

109
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.240
to see your band because these are friends that we

110
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.759
made at the festival. And these are people I see

111
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.360
every year in the same spot in the campsite and

112
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.240
we hang out and we drink a couple of beers

113
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.439
at the bar, and we only see each other at

114
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:20.920
this vest.

115
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.079
So, like I say, it's.

116
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.519
Gonna sound corny, but there is a bloodstock family of

117
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.879
people that I only in this field at this weekend

118
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.560
every year, and they turned out for us, and I

119
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.319
just couldn't be more.

120
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:35.920
Thankful for we are a big family.

121
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.720
I mean, like listen, I got here and I posted

122
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.120
on my social media I'm back home with my family

123
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:47.439
at Bloodstock. You know that is really what it is.

124
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:52.519
I'll tell you what to like. I have yet defined

125
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:53.240
an asshole.

126
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.439
No, we were saying that, man, yes, yeah, just so

127
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.839
many fucking great people here, man, Like, everyone so nice.

128
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.240
It's such a great scene, isn't it like a tight

00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.560
enit scene? Metal heads look out for each other, man.

130
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.040
It's way it should be. Yeah, you know each other's backs.

131
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.839
It's like, it's really really nice communities. It's great, you.

132
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:14.720
Know, because the fact is is I do a lot

133
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.839
of festivals and there's assholes sometimes. Yeah, yeah, for sure,

134
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:25.920
I'm looking for them and I can't find them. And

135
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.639
then okay, like I had like one of the most

136
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.879
fun times I ever had in a circle pit with dinosaurs.

137
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:35.519
Yeah.

138
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.079
Where else do you have that kind of fun too?

139
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:39.120
You know?

140
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.600
There's been some wild stuff like the bananas for Party Kennon.

141
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:49.279
Yeah, the crabs and the spiders for Evil Scarecrow.

142
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.920
And of course all of the all of the frogs

143
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.079
for our friends in frog Lord. They had a load

144
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.720
of people in frog costumes. So yeah, in flight with frogs,

145
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:57.199
the whole lot.

146
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.959
Yeah, yeah, it's it's just so amazing. It's it kind

147
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.839
of like blows my mind, you know. And then you

148
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:11.560
have you know, the mighty Saxon play. Yeah, and that

149
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.120
was pretty killer. And what was even more killer about

150
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.879
is Brian from Diamondheads now in Saxon, So you got

151
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.279
like a Saxon diamond Head thing going on.

152
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.800
We've We've been saying this all weekends. Man, there are

153
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.040
so many people moving around bands these days that like,

154
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.199
you know, you're watching Sepultur and you've got other guys

155
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.720
in there from other bands, and just everyone's playing in

156
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:33.399
every other and that again.

157
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:34.959
Like just the community.

158
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:38.000
Yeah, just just shame that. Like everyone in metal bands

159
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.160
are mates, right, and you can go and play in

160
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.319
other people's bands. That's exactly how we got Jack in

161
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.639
the bands. Man. He was, you know, a guy and

162
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.360
a fellow band in our scene, Like, hey, do you

163
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.879
want to come? You know, we need a third guy,

164
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.120
so come and come and join us. Man. Yeah.

165
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.000
Nice, right, And you know what's interesting too, like speaking

166
00:07:54.040 --> 00:08:00.839
of Sepultura, I inrviewed Andreas and I'm thinking myself afterwards,

167
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.639
like like today it was a couple of days ago.

168
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:06.639
I'm thinking, wait a minute, I don't know if any

169
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.959
bands on their last tour and this was their last

170
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:11.720
UK performance doing.

171
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.759
Press, Like what would you need to do press for?

172
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.000
And he was the nicest guy in the world and

173
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.439
it was like a great convo and it didn't even

174
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.800
occur to me. Then it just occurred to me like today,

175
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.199
like wait a minute, they don't even need to do

176
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:29.519
pressy man.

177
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:33.440
And that says something, as we say, right exactly.

178
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.240
But it says something the dedication, you know, because there's

179
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.000
a lot of bands now that are on their way

180
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.480
up they're not going to do press, but somebody like

181
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.399
him doing press, that just says to me, you're a

182
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:49.879
true musician.

183
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:50.240
Man.

184
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.559
I don't want to like blow smoke up anyone's us,

185
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.519
but I will say, like I'm so thankful to the

186
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.200
to the press and even like speaking to you four

187
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.639
years ago now like we have people literally last week

188
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.879
messaging us from La saying like, man, I fucking love

189
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:08.799
your band, When are you going to come play the States?

190
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:09.360
Nice?

191
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.960
Like we'd fucking love to man that. You know, obviously

192
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:13.399
it takes a bit of time to get to that

193
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:14.480
level and get over but.

194
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.919
We might have to meet waked one nor president, but

195
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:19.600
to know.

196
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:22.000
That, like people are out there and that you know,

197
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.039
people are finding us through through stuff like this, right,

198
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.360
and it's incredible man. So there's so much value in that.

199
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:32.720
And see it's great bands like you that recognize that, yeah,

200
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.360
you know, because not all bands think that way. Yeah,

201
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:41.120
and really it is a way like how would some

202
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.960
place that they aren't you've never been to, right, how

203
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.639
are they going to find out about your band? We?

204
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:51.519
Yeah, we are. You're so beholden to like social media now, right,

205
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.639
that's you're just you're totally dependent on an algorithm like

206
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.480
pushing you to people. But if you can do anything

207
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:02.159
at all to help is yourself and your band out there,

208
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:03.440
Like why would you not do that?

209
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:04.480
Exactly?

210
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:07.399
And you know you guys supporting us, We're supporting you.

211
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.200
So it's it's it's a great, great thing to do.

212
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.799
And I always say that it's my job. Like there's

213
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.919
different types of pressed people, especially in the States. There's

214
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.600
some people in the States that are trying to get

215
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:25.200
clicks at your expense. Okay, My viewpoint is it's my

216
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:29.360
job to make you look good, to promote you, and

217
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:34.240
not talk about anything that won't accomplish both of those goals. Yeah, man,

218
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.159
you know, yeah, and that's the way it should be.

219
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:43.639
We should all be in a synergistic relationship altogether helping

220
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:44.080
each other.

221
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.399
As you say about people relying on an algorithm to

222
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:52.440
feed them are music, whatever it might be, ma'am, we're

223
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.000
in a scene I think you'll agree where word of

224
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.600
mouth still counts for a lot more.

225
00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:58.080
Yeah.

226
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.720
And you know what, Like I still listen to bands

227
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.320
all the time because someone says, hey, man, check this

228
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.399
band out, check this shout, And it doesn't matter who

229
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.120
is So I'm still I still find value in that.

230
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.080
I'll still check out the line of notes in a

231
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.480
record sleeve, just like I used to do through Like

232
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.440
I'm going to show my ages through the late nineties

233
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.519
and two thousands, but just to find out, well, if

234
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.240
these I like this band, who do they who are

235
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:25.919
they rapping? Who are they?

236
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.200
Who's whose corner are they in? Yeah?

237
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.679
And that's I find that Bloodstock's great for that, not

238
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:34.799
just through the press, but just the new blood stage

239
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.840
is packed. It doesn't matter who's playing. Everyone wants to

240
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.039
hear new stuff. They always want to be the person

241
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.639
that is the first to recommend a band to a friend.

242
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:47.559
That's one other thing that I love about Bloodstock because

243
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.639
like I know a lot of people in the States,

244
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.279
they go to the music festival and their their favorite band,

245
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.200
usually bigger one with draws from the festival.

246
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.960
Then they're like, oh, that's your who you know is going.

247
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.120
That's not the reason to go to old Festus.

248
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.440
Look, it's such a waste at that point, isn't it

249
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:06.960
is that it's like shure, It's like I'd love to

250
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.320
go see like all my favorite bands. But the amount

251
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.000
of bands that have become my favorite bands just through discoveries.

252
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:14.919
Exactly at least the both bands that you had no

253
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.960
idea who they were, I tell you, and you go

254
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:17.559
there and you love it.

255
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.919
Right, that's how you find your newest favorite bands. And

256
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.559
the here day is stupid. But it is those big

257
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.960
bands or playing a festival set. If that's all you

258
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.919
want to see is that band go to their concert.

259
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.080
It's gonna be a much better set.

260
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:32.679
Yeah, right, you know.

261
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:37.279
And the fact is, I'll talk about this before nineteen

262
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.639
ninety nine, I just I discovered three of my new

263
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:47.279
favorite bands on third stage Odds Fest Mad, a stage

264
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:52.360
probably the size of EMP, if not smaller. Yeah, And

265
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.240
that those three bands were slipknot Mud vein and in

266
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:56.679
this moment, whoa.

267
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.679
Like slipping at the time when they like on it

268
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.120
like nine am or something like.

269
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.360
That, some shit like that series.

270
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.519
Right, I don't even know how they fit everybody on

271
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.080
the stage like that.

272
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.200
There wasn't even room for nine people, you know.

273
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.600
Yeah, but that's the point, Like, that's how you find

274
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.799
out these bands and when you rather discover them when

275
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:21.559
it's that intimate like that, like oh that Slayers first

276
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.159
show ever, Montalca's first show ever. They're still my favorite band.

277
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.559
And maybe that's also just nostalgia that there was that

278
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.279
intimacy that you don't get when they're playing on the

279
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:33.000
main stage.

280
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.919
Yeah, that is incredible, man. There is so much to

281
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.559
be said about getting onto the conversation of like venues

282
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.000
as well. I don't know if this is an issue

283
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.360
you have in the States as much, but like supporting

284
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.960
small grassroots venues because that's where those shows happen and

285
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.320
that's where you see those bands, because you can't expect

286
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.480
you know, smaller bands or bands starting out to be

287
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.279
able to play massive venues doesn't happen exactly to start somewhere,

288
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:59.240
and if you don't have those small grassroots venues music dies.

289
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.360
That's a whole basis of the Sunset strip. Yeah, I

290
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:07.000
mean bottom line. But yeah, like you guys, after COVID,

291
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.360
some of these venues that were iconic venues for god

292
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.720
knows how long couldn't support it anymore.

293
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:15.919
Man.

294
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:19.240
Yeah, So we played with a band from Oakland, was

295
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:23.639
it last summer and from the from the Bay Area,

296
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.080
and they're saying, man, they're just having like backyard chowse

297
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.000
because there's nowhere.

298
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.200
Else to play exactly.

299
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.799
And I grew up at a time where the Bay Area

300
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:36.600
was thriving, like yeah, when Slayer Metallica left La, me

301
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.200
and my bro would hitchhike up to the Bay Area

302
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:42.960
and like, oh my god, and iconic places like Ruthie's

303
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.679
in you know. And you wouldn't have bands that were

304
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:50.600
playing today if it weren't for that.

305
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:53.360
Scene, absolutely, man, Yeah, yeah, so true.

306
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:55.559
So what else do you want to tell the listeners?

307
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:58.879
What else you got coming up that they should know about?

308
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.279
And most important, we need to follow you on socials

309
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:04.639
and buy your mercher they can't fucking listen to my show.

310
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.000
Yeah yeah, yes, that's the big thing.

311
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:07.240
Man.
