Say, this is the pipe Man here on the Adventures

4
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.359
pipe Man W four c Y Radio and I'm here

5
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.280

6
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:40.200
From Elf Wolf.

7
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.920
Yes, and okay, I gotta tell all the listeners we

8
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.560
are just about to start the interview. We were told

9
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:49.920
we wouldn't have much time because it was already a

10
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:54.079
code orange, but that meant we probably had like fifteen

11
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.479
to twenty minutes and then two seconds later code read

12
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.759
fastest code read ever.

13
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.560
Ever get out of you. We've never experienced this right, Oh,

14
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:04.159
new to us.

15
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.719
So now we're back in the trailer doing the interview.

16
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.719
We had to jump it through a few hoops, but

17
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.359
we made it happen and we are sheltering in place,

18
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:14.439
so we're good to go.

19
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:17.400
Is that security guard you beat up?

20
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:23.000
Okay, not so much now. I just went and got

21
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.079
somebody that could scored. Yeah, you know, I thought you

22
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:31.040
would be able to that's weird. Apparently not, guess not? Okay,

23
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.560
and look at okay, you're Australian. You got pro bash

24
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.439
shops hat on? Did you get that across the street?

25
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.760
I got this yesterday in Jacksonville.

26
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.840
Oh really, yeah, see, because there's one right across the street.

27
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.799
From have to get another one. Honestly, they're like ten bucks.

28
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.319
I've been here like five times and I see them everywhere.

29
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.560
I don't fish, I don't hunt. I don't even go

30
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:56.560
outside that much.

31
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:57.599
It's just a cool hat.

32
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:58.680
It's just a cool hat, man.

33
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.239
See. I like your style. Yeah, you know, I don't

34
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.680
know any of their songs, Like, yeah, they're they're they're

35
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.840
Daytona band. They're called pro bash Shops and they all

36
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:16.879
just play bass. Could you imagine a band that only

37
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.439
had bass, Like everybody in the bad played bass.

38
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.680
That probably exists and it probably sucks.

39
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:23.400
It probably doesn't.

40
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:25.439
Do they have?

41
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:27.360
Is that it.

42
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:30.800
Too? That's no big deal?

43
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.360
Like fourteen string bass guitar?

44
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.719
I know a band that one dude has this cool

45
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.759
guitar thats both the guitar and bass, Like the upper

46
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.639
neck is a bass and the lower neck is a

47
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.719
guitar and he plays that ship.

48
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:43.639
That's kind of sick.

49
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:45.479
I can't even play a normal guitar.

50
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:50.080
Let line that right? Like how you what if you

51
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.280
like if you can't figure out which neck you're supposed

52
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.360
to be, like you forget which is the bass and

53
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:56.319
which is the guitar.

54
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.879
Maybe in the future when we have four arms, right yeah, yeah,

55
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:01.879
but right now are.

56
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.719
You planning that? Is that like an Australian thing to people?

57
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:05.759
Like in the Digua.

58
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.080
We're working on it, Like I got to Luckey Towse

59
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.319
sometimes and he's got an arm growing out of his closet.

60
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.240
But it's not fully formed yet.

61
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.479
Yeah, it hasn't developed sentience yet, so we can't like

62
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.159
we can't teach it patterns like guitar riffs and stuff

63
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:22.479
like that.

64
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.199
How long before it's ready.

65
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.840
I think it's been going for about fourteen weeks now

66
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.719
and I think maybe like another thirty to thirty six

67
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.080
weeks until there'll be a brain stem attached.

68
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.319
Now, is that gonna be like AI and just eliminating guitarists.

69
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.319
It's a clone of Sabian's brain, so it's like a

70
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.000
baby Sabian brain. That's a plan. It hasn't shown up yet,

71
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.439
but yeah, so we don't fuck with AI just you know,

72
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:50.439
cellular reconstruction and duplication.

73
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:55.960
Nice. Well, I'm glad because AI musician or music is stupid.

74
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.599
It's bad, Like come on, like you can't first in

75
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.560
the States at least first they take art out of school.

76
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.120
Now you're just taking the artist away. You know.

77
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.719
It's so funny seeing people like post and complain about

78
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.599
it on forums, Like I've been listening to this band

79
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.160
for four months and i just realized that AI. I

80
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.879
feel so duped. And it's just like I don't know

81
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.199
if I feel bad for you or I don't know

82
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.560
if I want to like kind of laugh at that, Like.

83
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.319
See, I think he should have said I feel stupid.

84
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.639
Yeah, yeah, because you know, come on, yeah, but I'm

85
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:33.360
also I don't want to say that to someone and

86
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:34.519
then get duped to myself.

87
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:35.360
You know that's true.

88
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.720
It's getting crazier every day. Like I feel like I

89
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:40.399
can tell just because I listen to so much of

90
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:40.720
this shit.

91
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.319
I think what's important is you don't have to say

92
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.079
it to them. Just talk about it an interview, you right.

93
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.279
Don't say it anywhere that gets put up on the

94
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:50.079
internet or anything.

95
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:51.279
Yeah, nobody's gonna hear it.

96
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:53.839
This interview is not AI.

97
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.920
I swear it is not AI. I refuse to have

98
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.879
an AI interview. I don't think AI could even duplicate.

99
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.920
We did the captures beforehand. We're good, We're good.

100
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:08.120
So I was gonna tell you about, you know, storms

101
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.759
that relate to you. You know we were talking before,

102
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.040
like Florida storms or typical similar to Australia. Well, I

103
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.720
live in South Florida near West Palm Beach and I

104
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:24.360
surf and most of the time there it's flat because

105
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.839
we're blocked by the Bahamas. So we pray for hurricanes

106
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:33.199
because that's when we get surfd. So like, if there's

107
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.360
a hurricane coming tomorrow, you will see so many surfers

108
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.839
in war because like the waves will get like ten twelve,

109
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.480
fifteen feet and you never see that a lesser's a hurt.

110
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.839
We have the same thing and so yeah, but you have.

111
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:51.600
Good surf in Australia.

112
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.079
So and then it gets not good enough for the surface,

113
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.079
like we don't surf, but you see the absolute crazy

114
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.160
motherfuckers go out in giant storms. The surf's even better.

115
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.680
See now you just confirm that point break movie is true.

116
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:07.560
Yeah, yeah, because I knew.

117
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.759
I actually interviewed a band that they do surf, and

118
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.560
we did talk about them. They're like, it's not like

119
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:19.120
that at that beach. Because you know, when you're in

120
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.480
the US and you're a surfer, like it's stupid too,

121
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.240
because I think about it sometimes, like I probably wouldn't

122
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.879
do it, but it's like the dream. You're like, man,

123
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.560
I want to surf that fifty foot wave that body

124
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:31.879
surfed in Point Break.

125
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:37.399
You know, it's I think any like actual crazy surf

126
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.600
beaches in Australia would only be known to the locals there.

127
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.199
They get weird like that, right, that's true here too.

128
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.759
Surfers like have attitude and yeah, they're assholes most of

129
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:49.240
the time.

130
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.160
And mine like that. Dad used to surf. He's like

131
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.759
busted himself up too much. Now. He used to like

132
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.439
drag me to go surfing. I haven't done it in ages,

133
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.759
and he just kept getting really really good, and he

134
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.040
get taking me to scarier and scarier beaches and stuff

135
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:07.079
like that. I was like on a phone board spending

136
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.079
thirty minutes trying to paddle out, and we're on like

137
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.560
a fully reef beach. Dad's just out there in the stick.

138
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.480
So I'm just like, I'm not doing this anymore. Man,

139
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:15.800
You're gonna kill me, right.

140
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.519
I don't like reef surfing or rock surfing. It's like

141
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.160
all you gotta do is wipe out once and you

142
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:22.959
are cooked.

143
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.040
That's it. Yeah.

144
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.079
My one of my best bros. He passed away a

145
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.680
couple of years ago. He was a pro surfing champion

146
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.680
in the sixties and a famous surfboard designer and he

147
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.439
died because he had neck surgery and they killed him.

148
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.680
Why did he need neck surgery because he wiped out

149
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:42.439
into a reef?

150
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.680
Yeah no, no, I can't, like if you're not out

151
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.160
there in like padding and a helmet and everything. I

152
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.839
don't understand why people are doing it. But the locals

153
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.839
there were just insane. No, you couldn't care. But Dad's

154
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.319
like the last one. Dad had like a bit of

155
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.399
reef stuck in him. Oh yeah, that's no fun Punctionit

156
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.480
is weady and everything. Had to go to hospital and

157
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.480
get it pulled out and part of it like he's

158
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.639
still in there. I'm pretty sure. Yeah.

159
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:09.839
Yeah, that's why I stay away from reefs. I was

160
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.399
in Bali for like three months and there was one

161
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:17.000
place to surf that you literally had to paddle out

162
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.519
into the middle of the ocean. Like it wasn't a

163
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.120
shore break, It wasn't even close to a shore break.

164
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.920
Like the waves are breaking out in the middle of

165
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:26.360
the ocean.

166
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.519
Did you get like a jet, ski toe or anything.

167
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.839
No, you just had to paddle out and it was reef.

168
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.200
I'm like, fuck that, I'm not doing that. First of all,

169
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:36.919
I don't want to paddle as it is. I just

170
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:40.519
want to surf, Okay, I like I have osteo or

171
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:44.480
threes in the neck from headbanging, surfing and technology, so

172
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.919
that whole paddling out with keeping your head up, that

173
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:50.639
shit hurts me. Like and it's like, you know, you

174
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.440
do it because of the end result of the fun

175
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:57.039
of the five seconds. You may be riding the wave

176
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:00.600
after you paddled for thirty minutes in pain, but.

177
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.200
On walk for a short piss right.

178
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.519
It's kind of like the same attitude of going in

179
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:08.399
the marsh bit Okay, let's that's kind of way I

180
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:09.039
look at.

181
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.759
It, that that one breakdown you love so much and

182
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.840
then it starts and you just get punched in the nose.

183
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.440
Well, it's like last night I was at death clock

184
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:21.759
and again my neck hurts today because I was headbanging.

185
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.159
I knew it was gonna hurt today. Worth it, but

186
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.200
gotta do it, like and I can't even control it,

187
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:32.399
to be honest, Like with Jean Holgland, drumming like I

188
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:38.360
can't not head bang? Okay, uh so how about you guys, Like,

189
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:43.480
how is your set here at Welcome to Rockville great?

190
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:47.320
We had high expectations because we've always looked up to

191
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.720
and heard so much about the Danny Wimer festivals. We've

192
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.759
never played one. It's a lot harder for us as

193
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.279
Australians to accept the offers as they roll through. We

194
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.600
have to build tours around it and yeah it's.

195
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:03.679
Not ride to get here. Yeah, well long sweam.

196
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.679
But we've heard so much, seen so much.

197
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.120
We obviously get the fomo every single year when we

198
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.440
see all the stories of the bands playing on Instagram.

199
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:12.799
And it was so much fun.

200
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:17.879
Everything went well, crowd was amazing, the crew here are amazing.

201
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:18.879
Everything's been great.

202
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.399
That's more I want to hear about. How does Danny

203
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.480
Wimmer treat ours? I ask every yurist that, in all

204
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:25.799
my years doing it.

205
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:33.000
My only arm gripe. Is it so fucking big? Like

206
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.279
our fest at home are tiny?

207
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:40.759
There'll be max five stages and take you two minutes

208
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.000
to walk between the stages.

209
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:43.720
I saw the map coming here, It's like.

210
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:47.000
Is that a whole racetrack with a stage at that

211
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:48.679
end stage at that end, and I'm trying to watch

212
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:54.240
all these cool bands. Oh right, but you know it's

213
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:59.360
so good that they're scene here is big enough to allow.

214
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.639
Doesn't always like that in the States. It's because of Danny.

215
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.159
Wimmer festivals used to suck most of them, you know,

216
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:10.080
like it was more like a carnival than a festival, right.

217
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.279
Right, right, yeah, well, yeah, this has been amazing. We're

218
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.360
doing the Sonic Temple as well, so that's old to that.

219
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.000
That's a cool venue too. That's like a big stadium.

220
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:24.000
Oh hell yeah, that's gonna be a stadium show for you.

221
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.039
You know. That's all The Wimmer festivals are totally cool.

222
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.759
And to your point what you're saying before, it was

223
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.039
funny because when you and I were walking back here,

224
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.440
you're asking me where your dressing room is. I had

225
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:36.600
no fucking clue.

226
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.120
We poked up up behind our stage.

227
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:40.840
So we're like, all right, we'll just stay here all day,

228
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.480
not even look at the dressing room because you know,

229
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.480
we got word in the wagon, we got chippies in

230
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.960
the wagon. But you know this is actually quite crazy,

231
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:48.639
quite cool.

232
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:53.519
Yeah, yeah, Well, everybody out there is scared hiding in

233
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.000
their tent. We're sitting in the air conditioning. Hum it

234
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:02.000
outside and probably gonna be some storm that wipes out everything,

235
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:03.159
and we're here. Good.

236
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.240
I was gonna say, we're talking about how greatly run

237
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.360
this has all been. We're inside. Right after they call

238
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.799
code redd. It's probably fucking mayhem out there. We don't

239
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:12.519
even know it.

240
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:17.639
Right right, Yeah, Like I had to text my daughter's

241
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.639
out there and her friend and her husband and her

242
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.039
friend's husband, and I had my son text him, Lem

243
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.480
know it's code red because we find out before they do,

244
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.759
you know. And I think they have to walk like

245
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.720
four miles to get to their shelter in place.

246
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.679
Did they do that and then just wait until another announcement.

247
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.840
Yeah, Well it'll come up on the app or or

248
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:45.440
on socials or on social So when you're when you

249
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:51.240
are hiding, they say shelter in place, I'll call it hiding. Yeah. Yeah,

250
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.480
you either look at the app or Facebook and it'll

251
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.360
tell you when it's time to come back in. But

252
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:57.879
basically it has to do with the lightning. If the

253
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.639
lightning's within twenty miles, you're red. Okay, we might not

254
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:06.320
even get anything. Yeah, it's the insurance companies. You know

255
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:07.200
it's America.

256
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.879
You know that's what a well run festival does.

257
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.519
Well, that's the point. Keep people safe, because I'll tell

258
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:17.120
you what you got. I've been to a not run

259
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:20.799
well festival. Have you ever heard a festival? Blue Ridge

260
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:21.759
Rock Festival.

261
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:28.279
Funny story about Blue Ridge, let's hear this. We played

262
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:32.440
the final year I was there. We were the last

263
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:37.039
band on our stage before the storm hit. We're packing

264
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.519
away our guitars, like we just played our last note,

265
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.639
said goodbye, taking our stuff off stage, and it came

266
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.440
out of nowhere. During our set, it was beaming sun,

267
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.200
great times, and it just came out of nowhere. So

268
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.399
we're packing our trailer right behind stage, and they just

269
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:57.519
opened the emergency gates to backstage and the crowd ran

270
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:01.120
back there, invaded the green rooms. We had twenty people

271
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.240
in our trailer with us taking shelter, and we're.

272
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.639
Like, obviously we have fun time as funny as fuck.

273
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.480
Were like her, Yeah, But I'm at the same time, like,

274
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:11.519
we don't know if things are stolen from the dressing

275
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.919
rooms anything like that, like everything got torn apart. They're like, yeah,

276
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.000
they went to catering and just started stealing all the food,

277
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.399
and you know, any waters like this that we can

278
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.159
see in our green room right now, they'll be gone.

279
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:25.240
Really funny to look back on. But I'm sure someone

280
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:26.159
was pissed off about it.

281
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.559
Okay, So I'll tell you my story from a different perspective. Okay.

282
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.759
And now I'm thinking. I was thinking while you were talking,

283
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.440
I was thinking about what the story and I was like,

284
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.039
maybe it's just me, because Okay, I was doing an interview,

285
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.840
just started an interview, and I was wondering why they

286
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:47.320
were letting me still do an interview because I live

287
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.039
in Florida, and I can tell when the storm's coming.

288
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.080
Like I live down South Florida, and when my doors

289
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:58.159
are open, I know when storm's coming because shit starts

290
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.320
flying all over my apartment, off the walls because this

291
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.120
like strong wind will come in first. And that's what

292
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.720
was going on at Blue Ridge, and I was doing

293
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.000
an interview. But I'm gonna die hard. I'm like, until

294
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.879
they tell me to get out, I'm staying here. Like

295
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.960
it even happens, okay in my place where I live,

296
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.759
they evacuate. I live on an island, and once once

297
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.799
you're supposed to be completely evacuated, you're on your own

298
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.159
like there's people that stay and not go, and I

299
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:31.240
think they're assholes because they put first responders at risk.

300
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.200
But first responders aren't coming anyway. Like they tell you,

301
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.559
once the island's close, you're on your own.

302
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.039
We have the same with our bushfires, right when they

303
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.200
tell you to get the fuck out, leave everything behind.

304
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.799
Those people that like refuse, yeah, and they're the ones

305
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.360
that are getting rescued or die exactly, Like if they

306
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:51.080
tell you to get out.

307
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.759
So here's when I think I should get Did you

308
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:59.879
ever watch the movie The Amity Amityville Horror? Okay, so

309
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.080
you know how the house tells you to get out,

310
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:04.120
Like if the house told me to get out, the

311
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.039
house doesn't have to tell me twice. Okay, I'm getting

312
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.480
the fuck out, okay. But in this scenario, I was

313
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.480
just waiting for the people in charge to tell me.

314
00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:17.200
I couldn't finish the interview, okay, just like we were

315
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:21.399
about to start an INTERVIEWEP and it did come out

316
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.039
of nowhere, but it didn't because it came out of nowhere.

317
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:25.639
But I knew it was coming because that went.

318
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.000
Yeah, there was talks of it. I think in the

319
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:28.840
morning when we're rolling up, is it going to happen?

320
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:30.000
Is it not going to happen?

321
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.679
And then they did evacuate us. So I'm going back

322
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.679
to I was camping there and there's media camping. So

323
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.039
I was at media camping, which was on the way

324
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:42.879
other side. And as I'm walking back, I see the

325
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:48.879
band heartsick of their tent. They were trying to save

326
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:54.000
older equipment, and so I went over to help, and

327
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.200
there were four of us holding on the sides of

328
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.919
the tent and the wind was so brutal. They lifted

329
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.080
all four of us off the ground to where we

330
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.359
said fuck it and let it go. But then we

331
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:10.279
helped with their other tent that was still okay, holding

332
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.039
that and I'm holding in I'm getting pelted by hail

333
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:17.480
in the back okay. And then so then there was that.

334
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.480
Then I do get back to it, and then going

335
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.400
back to camp, I'm watching okay. So they had the

336
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:28.039
golf cart taxis within the festival. People were flipping those

337
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.160
fucking things over with the drivers in it. There were

338
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:36.240
bonfires be just like Woodstock ninety nine. Yeah, bonfires being started.

339
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:37.039
You know.

340
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.359
It was unsafe, Like I remember people waiting for the

341
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.319
next band to play. But the led Wolways looked like

342
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:46.799
they were about to fly off the trust and looked

343
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.200
like the stage could fall over, like those videos and

344
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.720
photos you see online of you know, stages that collapse.

345
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:53.640
I felt like I was about to watch that in

346
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.680
real time. Yeah, I felt like, you know, that's about

347
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.039
to happen. And the crowd was just waiting, like the

348
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:01.400
next band we're back to come on?

349
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:02.000
Right?

350
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:05.319
Yeah?

351
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:08.480
And you know what else too, is like everybody was

352
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:11.240
leaving and I'm like, fuck it, I'm staying till morning.

353
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.359
Why because the people leaving were the problem, you know,

354
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.519
and you weren't getting out of there, and people were

355
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.640
just like they were acting crazy, panicking because nobody's in

356
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:24.519
charge and they don't know what to do, where to go.

357
00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.440
That would never happen at any Wimmor festival ever in

358
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:32.799
a million years. Super precautious for the ads, right, you

359
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.480
gotta run it right that, Like you guys are saying,

360
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.039
you have to protect the people at the festival.

361
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:42.519
You can see the bands and other time exactly.

362
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.640
And you know what, people get bummed, but you know what,

363
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:47.400
You're not gonna see the band if you die in

364
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.960
a hurricane. Okay, just that simple. And I watched while

365
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:53.240
all was out there. I don't know if you saw it.

366
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:57.039
I watched the tornadoes. There were tornadoes there. That's why

367
00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:57.880
it was so bad.

368
00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:59.000
Good damn.

369
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.519
Yeah, it was insane. It was totally insane. But now

370
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:08.960
we're safe, sheltered a gandy wemmer festival and uh, here

371
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:10.160
we are doing our interview.

372
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.720
Even though we made it happen.

373
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.559
We almost had it blown off. So now, how do

374
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.359
you top this? Okay, you played at Welcome to Rockville

375
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:23.119
D'aytonian International Speedway. You gotta evacuate. We're doing we're having

376
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:25.000
a major storm, we're doing an interview. How are you

377
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:31.039
gonna top this? Now? Alligators you have them here and

378
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:34.319
fat dinner. But listen, the crocs in your country are

379
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:36.960
a lot more of a worry than the alligators. Oh yeah,

380
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.799
I've walked by alligators and they don't even move. Okay,

381
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:42.559
but crocodiles they scare me.

382
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:45.079
We've done the tours in Australia where they take you

383
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.440
out and make the crocodiles jump out.

384
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:47.640
Of the water.

385
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:50.279
That is symboll shit.

386
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:54.000
Yeah, fuck that is I was. I go to Costa

387
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:57.839
Rica a lot, and there's this one park called Corcovado Park,

388
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.519
which is like one of the most remote lacens on

389
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:04.160
the planet next to the Amazon, has like thirty eight

390
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:09.519
thousand species of bugs. Okay, but it's a wet dock.

391
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:12.599
So you get on this boat over this really rough

392
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:15.400
water that for forty five minutes and you're like bouncing.

393
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:17.599
You know, if you have a bad back, you can't

394
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:19.839
do it, Okay, And then you get there, it's a

395
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:23.400
wet doc Well, guess what's in the water that you

396
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:26.240
have to walk by to get onto the island, onto

397
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.000
the onto the park. Crocs And then we're you can

398
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.559
only go to this park with a tour guide because

399
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:35.759
it's untouched. They don't want you screwing it up. And

400
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:39.839
so we go on. And then we were told too

401
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:42.200
by the tour guide that we were being stalked by

402
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:42.920
a puma.

403
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:44.079
Oh my god.

404
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:48.319
But it's okay, I know what I'm doing. I was

405
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:53.359
okay with it, like, yeah, yeah, exactly, but uh, it

406
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:55.400
was a pretty cool experience. But I don't want to

407
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:57.799
walk by crocodiles in the water anymore either.

408
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:01.920
They're pretty fucked up. Like we done a gator swamp

409
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:06.799
to it here once and I thought they were tiny

410
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:09.039
and not scary looking at all, because I'd already done

411
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:11.000
a croc to her, Like, no, if it's the gators

412
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.480
out there, but uh.

413
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:16.920
There is one. There is a certain time to be

414
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:19.079
scared of the gators. Do you want to know when

415
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:23.319
it is? Yeah, it's when you're canoeing through the Everglades.

416
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:25.319
It's a five mile canoe and you're in the middle

417
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:28.519
and there's these cute little baby gaiters and you're looking

418
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:32.759
at them and taking pictures and then you hear this here. Yeah,

419
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:36.079
it's the fifteen foot mama that just dropped her tail

420
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:39.000
in the water and went under. Yeah, I'm like, we're

421
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:39.559
out of here.

422
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.400
They are super scary because they just disappear.

423
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.519
Right exactly. I want to That's what that That's why

424
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.079
I actually do buy a surf Australia. But I'm kind

425
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:51.480
of worried about how many sharks you have there and

426
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:54.160
recently lot of attacks.

427
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:54.680
Yeah.

428
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:57.000
I don't know if you know this, but near here,

429
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:00.960
not far from here, is where the most shark attacks

430
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.920
are anywhere in the world. New Smirnam Beach near here,

431
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:08.480
you're right, Yeah, but you know I do want to.

432
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:10.240
I won't go there either.

433
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:14.119
I do want a cage dove with great whites one day.

434
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:16.079
I think if you were brave, you would cage dive

435
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:18.640
with bull sharks, not great white.

436
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.559
Now you can do any off Adelaide in Australia. You

437
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:23.680
getta go out to see for like three hours and

438
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:26.440
if they don't show up, you know, you lose your

439
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:28.599
money whatever, or they give you a voucher to try

440
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:31.359
again another day. But I think that'll be awesome. Like

441
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:33.000
how the how the fuck are you gonna ever see

442
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.480
a great white? You know they're not an aquariu.

443
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:39.759
I don't know that I want to see them, Like

444
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:43.319
ignorance is bliss. Where I live, they have shark migration

445
00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:48.920
and I am, you know, up up high and like

446
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.279
when you're down on the water level, you don't see

447
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.519
what's in the war thousands of sharks in the water.

448
00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:58.160
Like I'm like, I don't want to know that. Uh So,

449
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:00.440
But one what I do a lot to times, like

450
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.160
after I'm done touring all the festivals, and you know

451
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:05.160
how it is when when you go on tour, you

452
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:07.640
get off, you just want to escape the world and

453
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:12.200
like seclude and it's like coming down, you know, And

454
00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:16.759
so I'll normally take my paddle board and paddle way

455
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:19.599
out on the horizon in the ocean in my backyard.

456
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:24.039
And the last time I did that, I was out there.

457
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:26.079
I was just sitting on my board and I happened

458
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.720
to look down. Five bull sharks swam right under my board. Cool,

459
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:32.640
and I was like, yeah, it might be time to

460
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:33.319
go back to shore.

461
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:34.480
Yeah.

462
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:37.519
I don't want to see them there, but they're there.

463
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:39.799
Don't you want to see how big a great one

464
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:40.599
looks like?

465
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.079
Just to be like, holy moly, I did see it

466
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:48.279
at I did see it. So one day on my

467
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.440
balcony and I looked down and right in a shallow

468
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:54.160
area where I would enter the word, there was something huge.

469
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.440
I couldn't tell what it was, but it was huge.

470
00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:58.720
Twenty minutes later it was on the news because a

471
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:01.759
boat filmed it. It was a fifteen foot great waite.

472
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:05.880
Hell yeah right, hell yeah?

473
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:09.599
All right. How about you guys are tough Australians like,

474
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:13.279
how about you wrestle? Great? Wait, don't just go see

475
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:17.319
him wrestle? Yeah, my son wrestled alligator. My son used

476
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:18.519
to wrestle allegigators.

477
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:23.240
Oh hell yeah no, I just held one. Where was

478
00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:24.559
that gateorland that was in Florida.

479
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:25.640
Yeah yeah, I did that.

480
00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:28.880
Yeah, yeah, but no, maybe we've gotta grow some arms

481
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:31.759
and fins so we can go out and.

482
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:35.400
I have an idea for you. Okay, next time you

483
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:37.640
want to do that, you know, if you want to

484
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.359
do that Shark dive to check out the sharks. I

485
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.440
think you should say it up where you guys like

486
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:46.319
play a set sharks shark marsh.

487
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.279
I'm pretty sure we're playing a show on a boat

488
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:50.839
at the end of the year, aren't we.

489
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:56.279
Nice? Yeah, exactly which one is it? What's called.

490
00:24:58.279 --> 00:24:58.880
Boat show?

491
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.640
He nice? Yeah? Nice?

492
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.839
Where does it go? Not true, it'll be shocked.

493
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:09.119
So, like, we have a lot of those metal cruises

494
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:10.799
here and they are cool as shit.

495
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.839
Actually we've never done one before, you know.

496
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:18.720
What's cool about it? So the people going on those

497
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:21.680
cruises spend a lot of money. It's not like a festival.

498
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:23.680
While they spend a lot of money at festival, but

499
00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:30.160
it's a whole other level. And basically, you know, they

500
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.519
don't fuck with the bands. You know, it's like the

501
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:36.200
band members, the big ones will go out and eat

502
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.200
dinner in a buffet and not even in cater and

503
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:40.640
just hang out with everybody because nobody bothers them.

504
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:44.440
Yeah, I think I've seen that just from you know,

505
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.200
the bands that are do follow They just hang out.

506
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:50.599
No one's above anyone. You just always hanging out, cruise vibe.

507
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:54.720
You don't have to be like backstage and away from yeah, yeah,

508
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:57.160
you know, and everybody gets a meet and greet, so

509
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:58.839
there's no reason for them in the world.

510
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:00.920
So cool, and you can just do surprise sets if

511
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:02.680
your friends they get him up on stage to sing

512
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:05.200
a song like, it's not that serious. No band's trying

513
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:07.680
to outdo everyone. Every band's doing multiple sets and they're

514
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.720
playing first thing in the morning or last thing at night.

515
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:12.319
It doesn't matter. No one's trying to compete, and no

516
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:14.400
one's got the fire and then another band doesn't because

517
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:16.599
you're all just sharing the exact same stage, the exact

518
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:17.960
same lights and exactly.

519
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:20.440
It seems really cool and I'm very excited to do

520
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:21.160
it so now.

521
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:24.200
And I love him to death, so I'm just playing around.

522
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:27.119
But you know who brought shame to Australia?

523
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:28.200
Who?

524
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:33.440
Okay, so I'm ship rocked. Last year there was a

525
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:39.200
big rivalry between Hollywood Undead and Parkway Drive and they

526
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:41.839
have this thing like family feud. So they were played

527
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:47.480
against each other and it's a whole funny scenario, but

528
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.640
Parkway Drive loss, and then it's a whole thing on

529
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:53.119
the boat the whole time. And then when I was

530
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:58.039
interviewing Winston, he was pissed because he's like my band members.

531
00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:00.559
They sucked at that game because he was pretty good

532
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:01.480
and he wanted to win.

533
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:04.519
Yeah, but yeah, and that band's competitive as they're always

534
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:07.759
doing the sports and doing everything like pick it up Parkway.

535
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.640
He's the nicest guy. Yeah, yeah, So he was geeking out.

536
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.279
I'll show you and we'll see what you think about it.

537
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:19.200
He was geeking out in our interview about this little

538
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:22.039
treasure I have from the eighties that I used to

539
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:25.319
wear in the eighties. If I can get it out.

540
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:27.400
Digging into the bag, where do we go?

541
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:27.880
What do we go?

542
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:28.279
Bag?

543
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:28.960
Like a dip?

544
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:30.839
There it is?

545
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:35.240
Oh, look at that, take a look on it.

546
00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:37.079
I want you guys, it's part of the interview to

547
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.640
describe from your point of view what you see here.

548
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:43.799
That's a Metallica lego I've never seen in my life.

549
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:45.839
Said the exact same thing as.

550
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.640
With like, what the hell this one has gone to

551
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:54.000
shreds who's on it. It's yeah, see I know I've

552
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:56.640
seen what members, what era we got Cliff Burton, there's

553
00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:57.279
the end of it.

554
00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:00.559
Yeah, when did you draw on? What year?

555
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:05.160
Started? Started in nineteen eighty one? God damn the times

556
00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:08.559
when you didn't have to be a poser and go

557
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:09.920
buy one from Walmart.

558
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:12.279
And this is what patches look like when they've aged.

559
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:16.640
Totally and their paper cat patches. You see that their paper.

560
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:18.880
No fresh patches on this at all.

561
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:22.279
So there's a story behind that, Like what the hell

562
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.200
that he was the same way? If I show you

563
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.440
the video after the same thing. Okay, so that he

564
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.160
comment on Slayer, they didn't even have a patch yet.

565
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.240
So I just got I got this felt lining and

566
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:39.519
lighter and put it on there. And then I was

567
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:41.440
in La and people thought I was a gang banger

568
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:43.160
and that was my ganga Slayer.

569
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:47.400
I got a mate that has a gigantic Slayer tatoo

570
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:51.480
off his forearm, which is hard and Metallica across the shoulders.

571
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:53.079
He would go ape shit for this.

572
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:56.920
I was at both of their first shows ever, no way,

573
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.880
So who would you wanted to with on this best?

574
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:08.039
I'm yeah, I fucking love Metallica. So one hundred percent.

575
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:13.319
But we have this weird thing where we don't know

576
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:16.920
how beneficial beneficial.

577
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:19.640
It is to support legacy acts because their fans are

578
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:23.559
so die hard that they don't give a fuck.

579
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:24.039
About the opener.

580
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:26.480
You cannot win them over because they just love that

581
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.039
legacy band so much like we love supporting bands to

582
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.319
win fans over, but trying to win over a die

583
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:34.359
hard Metallica fan.

584
00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:39.319
But you could be the next Metallica because what happened

585
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:43.480
to them back they were openers and if you watch

586
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:48.839
some of the documentaries, the bands that played after them

587
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:54.880
hated it because Metallic and one over the crowd over the.

588
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:57.960
Is that the two hour where Metallica ended up headlining

589
00:29:58.160 --> 00:29:59.759
or something they swapped halfway through?

590
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:04.640
Yeah, yep, yep. So like that's who you could be

591
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:08.680
shoot for that, you know, come on, Metallica has only

592
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.519
got a few years.

593
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:12.839
Wow, I need to see Metallica again very soon. I

594
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:14.200
missed the last Australian tour.

595
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:17.039
So what else do you want to tell the listeners

596
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:19.440
that we haven't covered? Lay about your music, about what

597
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:21.720
you got coming up and all that good stuff.

598
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:22.359
We've been working.

599
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:26.359
I don't know how much we're allowed to dabble into.

600
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:31.400
The manager's not in the room, so maybe we could

601
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:32.359
just spill some beans.

602
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:33.160
So we've.

603
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:36.440
Our last album came out two years ago, so we

604
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:40.119
do some new music, but we've been cooking. We're trying

605
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:43.119
to trying to do some new things though, Like everything's

606
00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:46.720
all computery these days. So when I go out for walks,

607
00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:50.319
I'm taking like a microphone with me to just record

608
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:52.880
sounds out here, and I need to incorporate that into

609
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:55.759
the music like that. Then it's so personal, it's like

610
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:58.200
it's my world to turn it into the music.

611
00:30:58.279 --> 00:30:58.880
And like just.

612
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:02.960
Coming on like a hollow log the other day, like

613
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:05.359
a stick yeah, nice.

614
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:08.839
Like just everyone's got their head stuck in their computercy

615
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:11.119
stays trying to find the sound. And then I've seen

616
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:14.119
bands use sounds and then someone else has already used

617
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:18.039
that sound, like if they're not living my world and

618
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.039
recording the things that I hear, so yeah, and then

619
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:24.519
trying to compile that into music. It's shaping up to

620
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:28.039
be absolutely crazy. So many songs now I think could

621
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:31.720
be a double album concept album, Like we're cooking, absolutely cooking.

622
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:35.680
I love it, I love it, but that's yeah, that's

623
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:36.440
our world.

624
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:46.799
There might be some really really big things coming, like.

625
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:46.039
Like a bass Pro Shops tour.

626
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:48.839
Bass Pro Shop. Maybe maybe they could be clues there.

627
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:51.359
I don't know. Yeah, I don't think I need to

628
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:52.279
touch on anything else.

629
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:55.720
I know what you should do. You should tell everybody

630
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.319
your socials and everything so they can follow you and

631
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:01.960
get the number vacation when the announcements come.

632
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:04.000
Well, funny you say that, because I think a name

633
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:05.359
change is on the horizon.

634
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:08.640
Lake, can you tell me about that?

635
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:11.640
Well, the whole alpha thing.

636
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:13.519
Are you turning into? Like Beta wolf?

637
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:16.240
That's the thing, Like, we get hated on so much

638
00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:18.680
because of the alpha thing. We we named the band

639
00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:20.799
that fucking fifteen years ago because we saw a Liam

640
00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:22.799
Neeson movie with a fucking cool wolf in it.

641
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:24.079
We thought that was cool.

642
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:25.640
We didn't know it was going to be a gigantic

643
00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:28.119
marketing eployee. Fifteen years later, we need to sell thousands

644
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.480
of T shirts and not everyone wants to wear the

645
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:34.160
word alpha on their chest. So we're contemplating a name change,

646
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:36.559
so the socials might change.

647
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:41.240
Yeah. I don't want to spit all the ideas yet, but.

648
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:46.599
We have a name in mind too. But yeah, everything's

649
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:51.400
slowly burning on the back end, it's.

650
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.480
T shirts to see how it fits and everything like that.

651
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:55.039
Like the branding needs to be on point. But it's

652
00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:57.000
so had to rebrand a band name, you know, like

653
00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.920
we have our fan base already and everyone knows who

654
00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:01.559
we don't want to lose that at Oh, so we

655
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:04.079
need to find the smartest way to.

656
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:04.519
Go about it.

657
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:09.880
You could call it beta bass Beta bass. Yeah, pass well,

658
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:13.079
and then you could have a logo that's like a

659
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:20.160
bass and a wolf together. Yeah, that's when you could

660
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:31.880
use a Kate nice. See, there you go. So anything

661
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:35.000
else you want to share or we cover everything. I

662
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:40.359
think it's a storm passed us yet. Oh really, then

663
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:46.279
we're we're probably code red still, do you see rain? Well,

664
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:48.960
we're probably in the safest place in the whole festival.

665
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:53.960
So what a way to do an interview. And I'm

666
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:57.599
glad you've got to play and didn't get screwed out,

667
00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.240
that you didn't get screwed out of the interview. And

668
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:02.920
so it's a good day and nasty Georgia, and have

669
00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:05.480
fun and thanks for being on the Adventures of Papers.

670
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:08.159
Thanks for beating up the security guard so you could

671
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:09.000
sneak back here.

672
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:10.440
And it's been great there.

673
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:12.400
It is. Thank you, thank you

674
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:17.880
