It has been I don't think it's even sunk in yet.

8
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.119
That week it just played a really heavily busy tent

9
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.880
a blood Stock. We've worked so hard the last couple

10
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.600
of years, and yeah, to see it come to fruition

11
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:50.159

16
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.240
It's yeah, yeah, I think you have those worries, you know,

17
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.840
like before you go on. It's certainly the biggest stage

18
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:09.079
I've ever played. I know A Luna played the Soviet

19
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.439
stage before when I wasn't in the band, but obviously

20
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.200
it's a bigger stage now, right, So yeah it was.

21
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.159
It's a dream come true. And like you say, family, right,

22
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.519
everyone is so lovely here. It's just yeah, it's been phenomenal.

23
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.680
We're talking about another interview. That's mor and wow, it's parking,

24
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.599
you know today an artist and press parking same place.

25
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.000
The dude as you're going in and he's like, hey,

26
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.000
how's it going gorgeous? Yeah, and he did what everybody.

27
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:39.560
I was a bit upset about that though, because he

28
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.920
said it to me and I was like okay, And

29
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.000
then the next guy came in and he said it again.

30
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.840
I was like, oh, right, okay, everyone is it. I'm

31
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.079
obviously not that special but back but again, that's kind

32
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.239
of I think that's a Midlands thing. And people around

33
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.760
here are so lovely. Everyone you meet security apart from

34
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.879
that one guy, know, all of the people that work

35
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:03.519
here are just the loveliest people.

36
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.439
Like that's why I love here, Like, yeah, I have.

37
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.680
I have been doing this for several years now. I've

38
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.800
never found an asshole. Yeah, Like that's rare because no,

39
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.800
not at all. Even today while it's walking in, like

40
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.000
I have my heavy backpack with all my equipment and

41
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.680
golf cart just pulled over crew dude, Hey do you

42
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.439
need a ride? Well, Like I was in shock because

43
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.800
in the States that would never happen. You could like

44
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.400
wave them down and they'll just look the other way.

45
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.240
But like I was like wow, and then we became

46
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.479
like friends on the short golf cart ride, you know,

47
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:41.599
and it's just amazing.

48
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.199
Years you will sorry, Jake, I'm talking nice, but you'll

49
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.120
find that in this particular part of the Midlands that

50
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.599
it's kind of that weird gap between the Midlands and

51
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.159
the North where everyone will do anything for you. Like

52
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.039
if you went into random village, water or somewhere and

53
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.039
stopped in a pub and you know, ask them for something,

54
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.520
they would do it. They're just solid gold pie. And

55
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.840
I'm usually really good at finding our wholes because they

56
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:09.199
just present themselves to me. But like, I don't know

57
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:10.759
what it is, but I'm a bit of a magneton

58
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.840
for I won't say the word I'm thinking of, but yeah.

59
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.479
I'm a magnet for psychos. That's why my ex wife

60
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.120
was from Newcastle.

61
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:18.960
Newcastle, UK.

62
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:25.120
Yeah, but wait, I didn't know until after we got divorced.

63
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.039
I should have a lot of a lot of women

64
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.080
that come over to us. They act like they're royals

65
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.520
because we don't know any better, and you know, and

66
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.400
they're all hoity toity.

67
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.840
And it's wild for someone from Newcastle, they're most people.

68
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.080
Oh yeah, she was like, oh you Americans, you have

69
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:50.280
no class, and she'd acted right, but then she would

70
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:54.960
have like fifteen Margarita's amazing. Then that shit fucking brains.

71
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.120
Oh yeah, be contrasted.

72
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.360
And after I found out about Newcastle, because I even

73
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.240
know about Newcastle, beautiful city, and I was like, oh

74
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.120
that makes sense now that that.

75
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.199
That's I don't know, like to me Newcastle is is

76
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:12.919
that she might have just been one of the weird ones.

77
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.639
Well, a lot of people tell me that they are

78
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.160
about shit crazy like that. I mean they drink a

79
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:18.839
lot like that.

80
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.199
Yeah, well they've got they've got kind of Celtic routes.

81
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.839
Jimmy and Ile though from Newcastle classics Anton Deck.

82
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.600
This is going out in US radio, isn't it what

83
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:30.319
we're talking about?

84
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.720
Yeah, it's gone all over the world.

85
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.800
Okay, Well to those that that know Newcastle, we're talking

86
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.920
about Anton Deck and Jimmy Nile, the good football team.

87
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:42.959
We spend a lot of our time talking about football. Soccer.

88
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:48.199
Nice, I understood, you know, audience.

89
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.680
You know what I mean. Wait, I'm sorry you had

90
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.120
that experience with the British woman.

91
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.639
Oh yeah, like, but you know it's funny too. She's like,

92
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.879
you married the wrong sister because she would never come

93
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.959
to something like this ever. Really Okay, She's like, you'll

94
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.120
have more fun without me, which is probably true, right,

95
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.199
But her sister is a singer of a hardcore punk

96
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.240
band in Newcastle. Now I never met her, so I

97
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.240
wouldn't know what band or who or what.

98
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.560
So wild though, that they're so different, right, you married

99
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:18.639
the wrong one, clearly.

100
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.839
That's that's typical in America though, Like, I'm not anything

101
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:23.360
like my siblings, you.

102
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.600
Know, yeah, I think, well, we're both only children, aren't we.

103
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.079
But like, I think siblings can be quite different to

104
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:29.480
each other.

105
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.319
Like say, I'm un married to a batshit British woman

106
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:37.279
as well, I'm married to the most patient person you

107
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:38.040
can ever wish to me.

108
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:38.839
Nice.

109
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.160
Second, that live is phenomenal. She basically if it wasn't believed,

110
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.439
we wouldn't get anything done, Like she manages everything, all

111
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.079
the logistics. She's phenomenal we have.

112
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:52.720
Yeah, I know, right, but you do need somebody like

113
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:56.319
that because you're an artist. So artists aren't always going

114
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.639
to be that on the business.

115
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.480
Side or some She's amazing and that.

116
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:07.680
Fucking tattoo that is so authentic, like it looks like

117
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.319
there's a real burden. It was sitting on your arm.

118
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.879
It was my first ever tattoo, your first. Now I've

119
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.720
got this, like it has to be as good as that.

120
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.439
She the artist that did it, is one of the

121
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.800
most phenomenal artists I've ever seen. And she'll do like

122
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.319
pet portraits and honestly, it's like you're looking at your pet.

123
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:24.959
Wow.

124
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.360
But yeah, obviously we're on audio, so it's it's basically

125
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.839
a robin but it's so so real. It's like water cut.

126
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:33.519
Is it water cut? I don't even know. But she

127
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:35.639
she did it in about forty five minutes, and it

128
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.720
was like it was no effort, for no effort at all.

129
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.160
She just like bam mamma.

130
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:43.920
And I always yeah, crap because it's so detailed. I

131
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.560
noticed it right from the beginning, and it's like it's

132
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.399
so real.

133
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.439
Everyone knows it, And I think what's great about it

134
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.319
is I mean I got it from my mom, but

135
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.920
I think everyone knows that Robin's, you know, are for

136
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.319
people that you've lost and whatever, and everyone that sees

137
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.040
it relates to it because they've lost or whatever. So

138
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:02.839
but yeah, she did a great job.

139
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.079
Nice, Yeah, I love it. How about you, do you

140
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:07.040
have any tattoos.

141
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.120
I'm totally the other end of the spectrum, and I

142
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:12.879
have absolutely can I swear.

143
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.720
You could say, we're very fuck you want.

144
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:20.519
Absolutely fucking terrible ones? Yeah awful, Yeah, really awful. And

145
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.000
then Adam covered up. But that's the art in itself,

146
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.160
and that he still didn't work out too good. So yeah,

147
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:26.920
let's just start talk.

148
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.199
About I know, right, that's a new fact for me.

149
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.120
I didn't know Jake had any tattoos at any point.

150
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.360
Look at that. He hit it very well.

151
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.040
Yeah they're not great, you know, I'll tell you what

152
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:37.879
it was afterwards.

153
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.560
You well, no, that's why I waited until I think

154
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.480
I had my first one at like thirty eight or something.

155
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:44.399
I was like, I know, I'm just never gonna w Yeah,

156
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:45.600
I'm never going to grow out of that.

157
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.399
I don't have any tattoos. But the tattoos I thought

158
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.879
about getting as a teenager, I'm like, oh, thank god I.

159
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.519
Did, Like literally when I was sixteen. The stuff I

160
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.560
would have had, like the weird tramp stamp on your

161
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.879
oh now. So I'm I'm grateful that I didn't little.

162
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:00.560
Chelsey gum down a whole thing.

163
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.600
But I would have that because I am irish.

164
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:08.000
That means something that's more relatable for you.

165
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.839
But I think the typical the one that everyone had

166
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.519
when I was grown up, well both of us, was

167
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.680
like Chinese writing, but you don't know what it says.

168
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:17.600
You know what I mean.

169
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.959
It could be saying any people.

170
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.879
That have those tattias and it says something like I'm

171
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.199
a dick or something like that.

172
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.800
Quite literally, I wouldn't risk it.

173
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.480
Like even you need to know the language before you

174
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.159
put it on your body.

175
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.919
Absolutely, I wouldn't even dream of it. And it like,

176
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:38.240
why you would think it looks cool if you don't

177
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:43.399
know what it says? Wild Like yeah, no so but

178
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:44.759
I did think of that when I was like that

179
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.279
sort of six. I was like, oh yeah, I'm gonna

180
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.360
have some Chinese writing on my neck. Imagine Like no, Well.

181
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.279
You think about like throughout your life. When you're a teenager,

182
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.240
you think that's the way you're going to be the

183
00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:00.279
rest of your life. But there's so many transformations, name

184
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:04.240
as being a band. Like so many of your original fans,

185
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.600
they want you to stay that teenage garage band that

186
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.799
doesn't know what the fuck they're doing, and you, as

187
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.200
an artist, you want to experiment, you want to grow,

188
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:15.720
you want to get better, and they want to resist that.

189
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.720
But why would you want to do the same stuff

190
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.039
as you did when you first started the band.

191
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.080
Well that's probably a good segue into talking about the

192
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.399
sort of evolution because it's twenty years this year, right,

193
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.559
and Jake's been there for the whole time.

194
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:30.919
What I was about to say, we're going to go

195
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:32.919
full air Samith and just do ballads for it for

196
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:39.080
more now. Yeah, things do change, you know, It's I

197
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:40.759
don't think you set out for them to change.

198
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:42.279
It just actually goes with you.

199
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.159
And I think it also happens when you start learning

200
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:51.279
how to play and you start experimenting, or you you

201
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:54.399
find more interest instead of that box.

202
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.399
Yeah, you'd like to think you get better as things

203
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.559
go on. You should get better things go on, not always. Yeah,

204
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.919
I think the worst thing you could do is overthink things, though,

205
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:09.320
like you try like, oh, I'm into least today, So

206
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.200
therefore we're just going to go for a sharp left

207
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.360
here and people can see through that.

208
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.120
It looks so totally, But.

209
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.159
That doesn't mean things have to always be the same ivory,

210
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.960
you know, if you just think.

211
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.720
It's how you feel. Yeah, absolutely, just do whatever, just

212
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.159
like I do these interviews, like let the interview take

213
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.320
a life of its own, let the music take a

214
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.200
life of its own. You just don't think about it,

215
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:34.919
don't say I need to do this. Just whatever happens,

216
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.399
especially as an artist, because you just sit there and

217
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.679
you kin't feel it while you're trying to create the

218
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.960
music and you feel what feels right to you.

219
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.720
The great thing about this line up with Daisy is

220
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.519
that we've especially got that attitude, you know, like I

221
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.960
wouldn't say Daisy doesn't care. She cares a great deal,

222
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.840
but she doesn't overthink things to the empty degree. She's

223
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.240
happy to go, Okay, you guys are playing this, so

224
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:01.320
I feel like this does it work?

225
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:01.600
Yes?

226
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.159
He does, No, it doesn't. It's just such a natural process,

227
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:07.200
you know. Rather and then to find a shoehorn something

228
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.639
that we're doing this end of blah blah blah blah.

229
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:10.440
You know exactly.

230
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.679
Yeah, and I think you know on the third vocalist now,

231
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.679
and obviously you have shoes to feel right, And I

232
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.039
very much didn't want to try and step into someone

233
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.279
else's shoes. I wanted to make it us not kind

234
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.039
of a lunar with Daisy, and the fact that we

235
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:30.240
all got on so well straight.

236
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.360
Away that's important.

237
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.600
Well, see football, babe, we all bonded over football. They

238
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.399
all support really shit teams and I support a good team.

239
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.679
But basically we just all got on so well straight

240
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.559
away that the chemistry was there, and I think that

241
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.039
is one of the most important things. Where we were

242
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.799
just talking about earlier about you know, I want you

243
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.080
to tell me if this doesn't work. You know, I'm

244
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.519
not going to get all like angsty and being a

245
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.159
diva if you don't think it works. And we're just

246
00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:59.759
really good at being honest with each other. We love

247
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:02.480
each other, and I think that's that's where it comes from.

248
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.279
Absolutely, we can tell when you're not vibingh oh god.

249
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.320
And you know you do see bands, I mean historically

250
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.879
obviously we know of many where they just really actively

251
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.200
don't like each other on stage and you cannot eat

252
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.320
energy shifts. You know, you feel the energy shift and

253
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.039
you get panicky, like, well, I can't enjoy this because

254
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.720
I can say the drummer doesn't like the guitarists somewherever else.

255
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:29.639
And it can all be as extreme as Perry either. Well. Yeah,

256
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.600
like sometimes it's a little more subtle than that.

257
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:34.039
I mean, that's the ultimate.

258
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.320
I do wish I knew that that was acceptable though.

259
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.080
That's so much more fern over the years, right.

260
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.600
I mean that, Yeah, to be fair, if you if

261
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.960
that is okay to do, like I mean that, Yeah,

262
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.679
that's one of the wildest things I've ever seen.

263
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:49.360
Oh my god.

264
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:52.720
I saw them about two three months before that in London,

265
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:55.440
and I didn't think that was brewing. I know they've

266
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.559
always you know, they were a little bit but it

267
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.000
seemed fowing. They didn't look like we're building up to that.

268
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.639
But I guess three months is a long time in

269
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:04.000
the shape.

270
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:08.279
Yeah, exactly. You got you really do have to love

271
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.320
each other to be in a band together, and I think, you.

272
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.440
Know, when I came in, that's that's one of the

273
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:15.559
first things I said, wasn't it, like I want us

274
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.879
to just be mates? And it helped that we went

275
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.919
almost instantly on tour in Europe. So like, if you

276
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.000
don't get on and you're sharing like bunk beds and stuff,

277
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.279
then it's going to become really obvious really quickly.

278
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.759
Oh yeah, and they'll portray on stage.

279
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.919
Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. And I think you and I

280
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.600
are quite highly strung, but we we can chill with it,

281
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.960
and then the other two are quite chilled. So it

282
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:39.960
just it just works.

283
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.759
I think even with Outsie like all the time, apart

284
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:47.320
that by time they he started playing with Sabbath later, Yeah,

285
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.480
they could get along with each other, you know, like

286
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.960
that we've never worked years ago, you know, but and

287
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.080
sometimes that's what it takes. I also think too, like

288
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.320
to your point of you coming into band, I'm popular opinion,

289
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.039
but I think that's what was smart about bringing em

290
00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.679
into Lincoln Park because you're phenomenal. You're not going to

291
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:14.639
replace Chester, No, don't even try. And I think Janoda

292
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:21.039
purposely brought in a female so that there was no comparison.

293
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:23.720
I mean, obviously unfortunately, because she's a female, she's still

294
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:25.240
got loads of shit exactly.

295
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:27.519
And it's a shame because I know her personally, she's

296
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:31.480
the nicest person. Yeah, and she's phenomenal, and people didn't

297
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:34.159
look at certain things like I saw her at major

298
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:38.960
festival and you could tell she had such stage right

299
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:44.559
because you know, her band never was that big, So like, yeah,

300
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:50.360
you're gonna be nervous and you're replacing somebody that's not replaceable.

301
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:52.039
And that's the problem. But you kind of think, you know,

302
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:55.960
the fans, if they're ice with themselves, want the band

303
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.279
to carry on, and the Chess is gone, so we

304
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.240
can't have Chester. So what do you actually want?

305
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.559
Do you want just gone completely? I think that's what

306
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.679
And they're saying, oh, they should have named it a

307
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:08.320
different band.

308
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:11.720
No, but it's the entire band, like and.

309
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.320
It was's band anyway.

310
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.840
Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. I you know, again, if if

311
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.559
they if they think, I mean, she is good enough.

312
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.600
But if they think she's good enough, the crowd can

313
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:22.519
fuck off. I'm sorry, but like.

314
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.799
I agree, I've argued with a lot of people over

315
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:29.919
it because like, yeah, she and like if you don't compare,

316
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.159
like they're comparing the Chester songs, the songs they wrote

317
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.720
for her. Yeah, she's fucking awesome.

318
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:37.720
The thing they wouldn't have. Do you think they would

319
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:39.639
not have her? Like they're not just kind of pick

320
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.840
the first person out of the tin long it. Yeah

321
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.919
that's so. But I suppose again, you know, on on

322
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:49.320
a different level with us, Like the singer before me

323
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:53.080
was very, very different to me, and I think you

324
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.600
guys had said, like, we don't want to search for

325
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.279
her part two, we want to carry on the band

326
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.879
in a new kind of version. What's intact, but then

327
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.360
having a new singer on top, and if because if

328
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.200
if you just come out and found her part two,

329
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:10.600
it would have been like a tribute act.

330
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:11.559
Yeah exactly.

331
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:13.279
That was very much not what we were doing.

332
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.559
And you were going to say something before before I

333
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:16.639
rudely interrupted.

334
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.159
I think he probably said something better to be fair,

335
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:24.399
but yeah, I don't know. I mean you could say,

336
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.840
by sorry, also a linky part girl? What what's the

337
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:28.360
single called?

338
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.279
Like, Okay, she's getting loads of ship and that must

339
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:35.120
be awful to me. You know you've got you know,

340
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.080
a million decades online. That's when inshes Earliot. But man,

341
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.480
he's selling out stadiums all over the bills. It was

342
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:41.879
having the last left, you know what I mean? I

343
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.200
mean it just don't get caught up in the disgest

344
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:44.720
at noise.

345
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.279
You know, he really just mean and kind of like

346
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.399
understand what position she's in. Like that was me. I

347
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:55.039
was very empathetic of yeah, totally what she was stepping into.

348
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.919
It wasn't gonna be easy, no matter what.

349
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.160
Back sorry as much are you going to say something?

350
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:04.759
No one.

351
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:09.440
I went to an event on the same day in

352
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:13.799
London as Linking part were playing. And the event I

353
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.480
was going to add like one coach going to it

354
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.240
from Birmingham the Linking Park. One add ten coaches going

355
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.920
to it, you know, like that's people vote with people

356
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:23.920
vote with their money and their feet and they're obviously

357
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:24.759
very happy with us.

358
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:26.599
So it gets a ship there you go, and I

359
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:28.880
think that will be the overarching theme. But you know, again,

360
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:35.319
like you know, but early days, it's very hard to

361
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:39.599
ignore the online chatter. So you know, we've had comments, oh,

362
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:41.039
you know, don't like her as much as the old

363
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:42.599
singer or something, but then you have the other ones.

364
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:45.039
And if you can ignore all of that shite, like

365
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.400
just ignore it because it's never going to serve you.

366
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.000
And as you say, Jake, like, people will vote their feet.

367
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:51.400
They come and see you, okay, come and see us,

368
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:54.359
and then write us off. And clearly they have and

369
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:59.039
I think more people support her than don't. But those

370
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:02.519
voices are so loud, Yeah, so loud.

371
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.759
You got a great point. You got a great point. Well,

372
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.400
you guys aren't dickheads.

373
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:13.680
Well there's moments, but I'm.

374
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:16.960
