Here with Travis Ryan.

6
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.520
You're at Welcome to Rockville You. Oh my god? How's

7
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.159
it feel to be a Welcome to Rockville?

8
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.600
It feels great. It's hot. But I love humidity, luckily,

9
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:48.600
Do you really?

10
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:48.840
Yeah?

11
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:49.920
The rest of my band hates it?

12
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.560
So why do you love humidity? See? I love this

13
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:54.439
kind of stuff.

14
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.119
I'm at. I'm a heat tempered person or something.

15
00:00:58.119 --> 00:00:58.560
I don't know.

16
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:01.880
I run hot, I think, and I think I just

17
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.159
I don't know. I think I'm lucky in that respect.

18
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.439
But at the same time, But you're not from Florida.

19
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.760
No, I'm from California. Yeah, so that's so weird.

20
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:14.239
Okay, because all right, I'm originally from New York, New Jersey.

21
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.239
Moved to California in nineteen eighty. Imagine a time that,

22
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.000
like my dad was like, pack your bags were moving

23
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:20.640
to California.

24
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.200
In three days, We're in California.

25
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.680
I lived in a Gora, thousand Oaks, west Lake and

26
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.159
Maria del Ray, and I spent the eighties on the

27
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:32.040
Sunset Strip. Troubadour, the country Club in Resita, and then

28
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.359
when Slayer and Metallica left us, me and my bro

29
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.599
would hitchhike up to the Bay Area to go to

30
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:38.319
the real show.

31
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.040
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. I was at the first.

32
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.959
Ever crossover show at it was an Elks Lodge.

33
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.280
It was coc DR.

34
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.680
I wasn't there at that one, but I loved Dr.

35
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.280
But it was pre Pepper, the Descendants and Suicidal before

36
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.879
Suicide crossed over when they were still.

37
00:01:58.640 --> 00:01:59.560
Like suie boys.

38
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:03.040
And then on the metal side it was Possessed, Dark

39
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.159
Angel and Savage Grace sick.

40
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.439
Oh I've heard Savage Grace.

41
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.479
Oh Grace, Okay, yeah, but they were a pretty big

42
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.800
thrash in LA and they toured with Motorhead but then

43
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:15.319
fizzled out.

44
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.840
But there was no security.

45
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.360
Yeah, first time ever punk's in the metal heads in

46
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.719
the same room, and it was insane.

47
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:24.560
It felt dangerous.

48
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:26.280
Oh, it was great.

49
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.560
It was I wasn't I'm a little younger than that,

50
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.479
but even the early nineties, like death metal scene and

51
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.680
stuff like that, it had this sense of danger that

52
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:36.240
isn't present anymore.

53
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:37.560
It's so funny.

54
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.400
When I was driving over here today with my son

55
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.120
who's he's forty one, he's not kid. But I was

56
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.800
explaining to him about we were explaining the difference between

57
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.960
black metal then, black metal now death metal, the death

58
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.479
metal now. So I played them, you know Venom Yeah,

59
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.759
which by today's standards is not black metal, would be

60
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:58.400
like pop.

61
00:02:58.599 --> 00:02:59.479
In fact, I listened to.

62
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.159
Venom now, I'm like, sounds kind of poppy. But back

63
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.919
then it was like, oh my god. Like I remember

64
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.680
going to OZ Records in the Valley. Brian Slagel was

65
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.120
a store clerk there. He hands me this album Welcome

66
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:13.400
the Hell, and I look at it. H I'm like,

67
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.039
oh my god. And then I listened to it and

68
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.479
I'm reading the lyrics like we did back then, and

69
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.080
I was literally getting scared.

70
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.639
And you had something physical that you could absorb, you know.

71
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:29.680
And that's the thing about that, Like, I mean, I'm

72
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.360
glad that physical still exists for that reason. It was

73
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.520
just but there was something about that being the only

74
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.759
way to find something. You have to look through the

75
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.759
think you lists and see what other bands they think,

76
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:41.159
and then go check those people out.

77
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:42.719
Yeah yeah, t shirts they.

78
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:43.919
Are wearing in the pictures, that kind.

79
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.360
Of shit, you know, totally, that's exactly how it was.

80
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.400
You know, go spend money on a record and it

81
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:49.960
were a tape and just hope that it is.

82
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.520
It could have suck. There were a lot of albums

83
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.560
I just listened to over and over again. So I

84
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.080
liked it because I didn't want to waste my money. Yeah, yeah,

85
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.080
you know, totally unpopular opinion. I didn't like Back in

86
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.360
Black the first time I heard it. Yeah, I mean

87
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:08.439
I like it now, yeah, you know, but possessed. First

88
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.759
time I heard them, I was like, oh my god.

89
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:13.599
So that's why I did. I played for him.

90
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.639
You know, you were the more like as something, as

91
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.360
something would come out that was more extreme than the

92
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:20.600
last you would go on.

93
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.879
That's the way it was back then, because like, okay,

94
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:28.879
before Metallica and Slayer, Judas Priest was the heaviest.

95
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.000
Iron Maiden was the heaviest.

96
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.160
And then I remember the first club show I went

97
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.199
into it went to in LA was Motley Crew before

98
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:39.879
they had an album, so they weren't glam.

99
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.199
They were like horror pumps.

100
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.120
Yeah, they were okay, And it was at the Roxy

101
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.079
and they were trying to burn down the Roxy to

102
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.199
bring Satan in, and I'm like, I'm never going to

103
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.240
a concert ever, a real concert ever again. And that

104
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.920
started me going to the club shows like every night,

105
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.040
you know. And then Slayer came out. I went to

106
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.519
their first show ever, Battalica's first show ever. And yes,

107
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.560
that was the progression. It just got. And then it's

108
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:09.600
like funny you take something like Metalica and the Black

109
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.480
Gun came out and we were all fucking posed me.

110
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.839
I still am, actually right, I really am. I warned

111
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.800
my friends. I've said this a lot in interviews or

112
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.199
online and stuff like that. I was warning my friends, like,

113
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.879
I don't know, man, if this is anything like that. Uh.

114
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.480
It was not Telegadiga Knights. It was Days of Thunder soundtrack. No,

115
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.680
that was Guns n' Roses. Shit, I'm thinking of something else.

116
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:32.680
Wayne's World.

117
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:34.600
No, it was that sound they were It was a

118
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.399
Stone could Crazy was on a soundtrack? Was it Detroit

119
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.680
Rock City or something like something like that. I care

120
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.240
I was on a soundtrack And I was like, guys,

121
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.360
if it's anything like that, I don't know, man. And

122
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.680
then they bought them. They stood they went to the

123
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.399
midnight sale, you know, and stood in lying and ship

124
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.120
I didn't go. And then the next day we sat

125
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.800
there in the park, smoking weed, trying to convince each

126
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.800
other that it was good, and we just couldn't really

127
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.439
all those things. It was like we were are getting

128
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.240
in the head way, heavier ship, no doubt, the changing

129
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.680
of the guard sort of for us as teenagers, that's

130
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:07.319
kind of what it sucks.

131
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:07.920
It was.

132
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:09.839
The first Metallica concert I got to go to was

133
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.839
the It's on that benjam Bird box set in San Diego,

134
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.519
the San Diego date for the you know, they had

135
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.920
the snake pit and all that ship for the Black album. Yeah,

136
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.279
and I was like, well, this is the closest I'm

137
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.079
gonna be able to get to seeing the older stuff

138
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:23.319
and and all that ship, you know.

139
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.800
But after that, I saw him with Missus Stain.

140
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.240
Oh dude, Yeah, that's you know.

141
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:30.000
Yeah, you're at the first show.

142
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.800
Yeah, you would go and then you would go over

143
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.319
her house after the show and party all night long.

144
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:37.240
And that was like an every night occurrence.

145
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:40.959
You know. It's funny. I've been saying this today. People

146
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.839
ask me, so can you bring me backstage? I'm like,

147
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.319
there's not really anything going on. It's not the eighties.

148
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.120
I want to watch a bunch of guys stare at

149
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:50.079
their phones.

150
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.279
Right exactly is exactly like they don't.

151
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.839
It's although back then, whole different story, different story.

152
00:06:59.000 --> 00:06:59.160
You know.

153
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.160
I used to walk into the Rainbow with Motley Crew

154
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.560
to hang out with Lemmy, you know, like epic that

155
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.439
I was at the party when Vince left with Razzle

156
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.160
and killed him. You know, shit, it was bonkers then,

157
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:18.560
But nowadays it's like, yeah, like you said, I hung

158
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:23.600
out with Rob from Godsmack sharing pictures of grandchildren.

159
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.720
You know, it's like that.

160
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.079
But I love that we have bands like you that

161
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.160
keep getting it more and more extreme. You would have

162
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.519
liked the shirt I wore yesterday. It was hell Hammer.

163
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.079
Oh yeah, yeah, And I remember the first time I

164
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.680
heard that, I was like, that's fucking sick, you know,

165
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.079
and then yeah, it just get Here's the thing I

166
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.720
found in the eighties with me and my friends. It

167
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.959
had to get faster and heavier, so everything had to

168
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.439
be And like me and my bro not that long ago,

169
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:00.560
we're listening to some of the stuff we listen back then,

170
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.519
and he goes to me, was it a lot faster

171
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.519
when we were I'm like, yeah, not no, we just

172
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.120
thought so because there was nothing fast exactly.

173
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:12.720
You know, Uh, when Nuclear Assault came out, it was

174
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:14.600
just like, this has got to be the fastest drumming,

175
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:14.879
you know.

176
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.720
And then I love that you said that. I was

177
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.720
listening to that on the way over here today.

178
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:24.240
Yeah, Game Over and the Plague and It's Survive. It

179
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.120
was like my favorite freaking record and handle with care.

180
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.439
I love that band so much. I kind of feel

181
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:31.759
like I wonder if that's maybe where I get my

182
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:33.960
Like I have this like melodic vocal thing i'd like

183
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.440
style that I do, and I'm like, sometimes it almost

184
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.440
sounds like it's in that same wheelhouse.

185
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.440
Or whatever it probably is, and you didn't even notice it,

186
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.240
like just guy in your system. And that's something I'm

187
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.200
glad you brought that up because I talk about that

188
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:51.120
all the time. Just because people growl, scream or whatever,

189
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.039
they know how to sing, they're just choosing to sing

190
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:55.480
that way.

191
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:56.919
Yeah, It's kind of like when I tried to explain

192
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.159
to my parents that, like with death metal growing up,

193
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.639
I was just like, you know, there's not much of

194
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.639
a difference between this and the classical that you guys

195
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.240
listened to. They were like really in the class longer.

196
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.559
These these guys are really insanely proficient players. It's just

197
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.600
to you and your older ears. It's it's a wall

198
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:12.039
of noise.

199
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:12.559
Yeah know.

200
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.960
And now I'm past the age that they were talking

201
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.320
like that, right way past that age. Now I'm like,

202
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:19.720
what were they thinking, Like, I don't know.

203
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:23.039
It's well, see that is the difference too because of bands,

204
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:24.879
Like you know, I was talking about this earlier. But

205
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.679
first I want to say I've always said, like, people

206
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.720
don't realize that metal is.

207
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.240
A derivative of classic. Oh absolutely, you know.

208
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.240
And so yeah, I mean I say stuff like that

209
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:42.159
all the time, and stuff like like you like bringing

210
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:46.159
the New Guard so to speak. At that point in yeah, we.

211
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:49.519
Were a weird b We kind of bridged the like, uh,

212
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.159
we bridge the gap. This band Cattle bridge the gap

213
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:55.559
between like you know, the older old guard of death

214
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.720
metal and then the Lader Ship the death Course stuff

215
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.039
and all that stuff, which was around what to four

216
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.519
oh five and before between that was like this metal

217
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.320
core kind of stuff, you know, people doing the os

218
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.639
Fest and stuff like that. So it's like all these

219
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:12.360
different types of metal, you know, kind of get you know,

220
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:14.799
getting their bearings with the metal core guys are all

221
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.360
getting their bearings with this, you know. Yeah, this scene,

222
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.799
and then we kind of just kept going. We're the

223
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.919
tortoise man. We just kept kind of trudging along. We

224
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.000
never went away, did we never. We never benefited from

225
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.440
taking five years off and doing a reunion, right, you know,

226
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.519
like a lot of bands, we just kept fucking going.

227
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:38.639
So it's passion though, yall, is what we set out

228
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:40.159
to do. I'm gonna stick with it. I mean, what

229
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.360
else are we gonna do?

230
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.720
Well, that's a testament to your band members, because why

231
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.080
they take five years off because they're fucking want to

232
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:47.679
kill each other.

233
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.879
Yeah, exactly. We all took the two years off, you know,

234
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:55.000
COVID or whatever, and that put everything into perspective. I'm

235
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.600
also getting up there in age. You know, it's been

236
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.440
harder to get back to it since then those two years.

237
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:02.679
You know, It's funny you said that because at two

238
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.080
years I was like dying because I go on tour

239
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.399
and I do festivals all over the US, UK and Europe,

240
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.240
and then it just all just stops. Yeah, But then

241
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.559
like after COVID, they so want to make up for

242
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.600
it that like the past few years, it's been every

243
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:21.440
weekend from March till October and now the festivals are

244
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.080
four days with a pre party instead of two or

245
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:25.960
three days last year.

246
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:27.759
At the end of the year, I was like, it

247
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:29.240
was first time I ever felt that way.

248
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:31.720
I was like, yeah, can we have a year of

249
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.919
COVID please?

250
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:34.360
Dude? No.

251
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.919
I mean I kept saying, we're gonna be We're gonna

252
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:37.840
be nostalgic for this.

253
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:38.200
You know.

254
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:40.919
Back then during those two years, it was like, I

255
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.600
don't know, man, I think we're gonna be nostalgic for

256
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.279
this one day. But after that, I really enjoyed the

257
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.360
first year. After that first year, I was like, all right,

258
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.240
come on, let's get back to this. You know. Exactly

259
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:51.720
six months later, I'm like, come on.

260
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.639
Well, here's the way I look at for artists.

261
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.120
Okay, Like you said that first year, the reason I

262
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.200
think that first year is because you finally got to

263
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.879
jump off the hamster wheel that you couldn't get off

264
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:06.480
of because it's like, yes, and you couldn't be creative

265
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.879
because one show, the next and the next and you're

266
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.759
writing a song on the tour bus. I've said for

267
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:14.799
a long time that the best music we're ever gonna

268
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.960
have might have come out of that lockdown, because artists

269
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:22.759
like you could chill out and find who they are

270
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.320
as an artist again instead of just keep going.

271
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.759
Well, I mean all these micro genres popped up.

272
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:29.159
Yeah, I thought we were.

273
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:30.799
Gonna lose bands. I thought people are gonna be like,

274
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.559
you know what I mean, I can't have this ever

275
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.919
happened to me again kind of thing. But no, we

276
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.720
didn't really lose any bands. We gained a ton of

277
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:43.399
new uh not only new bands, but like all these

278
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.960
crazy subgenres, and we got anime metal.

279
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:47.840
And shit like that now, you know, like baby metal.

280
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.639
I mean death Clock. Yeah, I was at there.

281
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.679
My next fuck today from their show last night. Oh ye,

282
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:55.480
death Clocks better awesome.

283
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.799
The worst hangover my life was the day after one

284
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.840
of their h they played on the at the Comic Con.

285
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.519
I live in San Diego, so went to the comic Con.

286
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.679
I got in free and I got this wristband, this

287
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:10.720
death Clock. They I got on the guest list or whatever,

288
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.879
and Jeane put me on and and there there was

289
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.559
this purple wristband that it got you whatever you wanted

290
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:22.000
from the bar, and it was unlimited, nice and supposedly.

291
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:27.360
I left and went and did a bunch of shout

292
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:30.919
up the devil Era Motley Crue songs at like a

293
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:31.600
who is it?

294
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:31.720
Not?

295
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:35.000
What was that car company that was doing all the

296
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:38.039
metal stuff for a while, not Sonic?

297
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:38.919
What the hell is?

298
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.279
It starts with the s Anyways, they were putting on

299
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:45.000
a an event there, doing all this karaokeing shit, and

300
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.879
apparently I went and did a bunch of stuff and

301
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:49.360
weis posted it and all this stuff, and I don't

302
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:50.559
remember a damn bit of it.

303
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:51.080
Wow.

304
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:54.120
I was just that was the last time I really

305
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.519
ever got that that turned up.

306
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.639
It was just gnarly. Well, gone back to your parents.

307
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:01.519
I talk about this.

308
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.279
I brought my son into his first mash Bet. He's

309
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.080
out there right now, my grandson I brought into his

310
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.639
first mash bet. That would have never happened in my generation, Okay.

311
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.320
And that's what I love about today, is like we're

312
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.399
out there and there's kids that look at some of

313
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:19.559
these kids, how they know these bands. And when I

314
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.360
was fifteen, I wasn't gonna go see some band of

315
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.399
fifty something year old, you know, like type of thing.

316
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.000
So it's kind of cool how it's changed like that.

317
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.600
But I do have a question, what was your parents'

318
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.159
first reaction when you told them the name of your

319
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:38.480
band was going to be Cattle Decapitation, Like, forget the meaning.

320
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:40.960
I don't give a shit out I mean member, but

321
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:42.120
I like the reaction.

322
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.840
You know, it was weird because I have I don't

323
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.480
even remember, to be honest, I was living at home

324
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.639
with them, I know that for at least a couple

325
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.039
of years after it joined. And then I moved down

326
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:57.279
to San Diego and that's when the band really started going,

327
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:02.440
when we signed a Metal Blade. And you know, for many, many,

328
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:06.080
many years, my mom kept you know, she'd get these

329
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:10.000
things in the mail. The USPS is hiring, and she

330
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.720
bugged me about that, you should go work for the USPS.

331
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:13.639
You're you're interested in.

332
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.600
Mail because great benefits.

333
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.960
Yeah, oh yeah, and she's right, and it is probably

334
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:23.440
a great job. But she finally stopped doing that, I'd say,

335
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.080
I mean that was in the early two thousands, think

336
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.600
about it, so like she probably stopped doing that about

337
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.840
eight years ago or so when one day she goes

338
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.840
on YouTube and she types in cal the Capetator, or

339
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.039
she touched in my name or something like that, and

340
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:41.639
she was shocked at the amount of articles that came up.

341
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.440
You know, there's millions or something and that was what

342
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:49.639
it took wow for her to finally stop giving me

343
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:54.879
these goddamn usps notices saying they're hiring, and took the

344
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.440
band and what I'm doing really seriously. And then ever

345
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.120
since then they they follow the stories my dad. I

346
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.440
was looking at that the second we get off stage.

347
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.600
I'm back there, you know, cool and off, trying to

348
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:07.639
get get my bearings, and I'm adding stories that fans

349
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:08.600
have posted.

350
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:10.480
I literally do it, not so.

351
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:11.679
Much for the band, but for my dad.

352
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:12.720
I love it.

353
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.200
I want them to see it. I'm I'm very happy

354
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.159
that that we're that we've been able to do this,

355
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.919
you know this, and be able to live in southern

356
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:23.720
California and be able to do death metal. It's it's

357
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:25.240
a pretty much a dream come true.

358
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:28.279
Man as bad ass and you're damn good at it. Oh,

359
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:33.039
thank you for sure. And like, have you ever done

360
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.320
Welcome to Rockville before?

361
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:39.279
No, we've only done one Danny Wemmerfest. It was after Shock, Okay, Yeah,

362
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:40.200
I love that one.

363
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:42.679
Yeah, how you like this one compared to after Shock?

364
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:47.600
Dude? It's well, honestly, this was for me a little

365
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.039
bit more put together. I feel the stage was way sicker.

366
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.600
I actually liked this a lot more than after Shock. Plus,

367
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:54.320
do you look at the venue?

368
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:58.360
Come on, I know a question for you. Okay, see

369
00:16:58.360 --> 00:16:59.960
how the seats up there are colored?

370
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:02.000
Yeah? Why are they colored?

371
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.000
So it's got to have something to do with the well, shit,

372
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.000
it doesn't have anything to do with the cameras.

373
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:15.039
Or the close the lights.

374
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:16.519
Something to do with the lights and game makes it

375
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.839
look like the stadium's full.

376
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:22.319
That's exactly what it is.

377
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.319
And then I was in I was interviewing NASCAR driver

378
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.519
yesterday and we talked about that, and he made a

379
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.039
lot of sense. He said, you know, you go to

380
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:35.119
a basket ball game, there's like twenty thousand people. He

381
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:38.839
goes twenty thousand people in here would look like the

382
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.599
place was empty because it holds like one hundred thousand.

383
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:45.079
So yeah, they do it not only for the TV

384
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.920
but for the drivers. Yeah, so I guess it kind

385
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.240
of pumps up the drivers. You know, I see that

386
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:55.359
because it's just like playing. You know, you play at

387
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.759
a venue and there's five people, or you played there's

388
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.319
one hundred thousand. You're gonna play the same way, but

389
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.599
it's not the same feeling. You know, you get pumped

390
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.599
when there's a huge audience out there and they're like

391
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:07.920
singing your words or what.

392
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:10.039
Yeah, oh yeah, you know I love that too.

393
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:14.759
Like if they're singing your words and they are a

394
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:18.160
you know, and you're a death metal band, yeah you

395
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:19.200
know they like your music.

396
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.519
Oh absolutely, I like that because I have done a

397
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.039
pretty decent job. I think of trying to make them

398
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:29.720
intelligible where you could understand. You know, it's still growling

399
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.000
and screaming and shit, but I try to enunciate as

400
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.920
much as possible, you know, And it's kind of for

401
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:34.400
that reason.

402
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:36.799
You know, it's kind of hard though, And my hat's

403
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.319
off to you because listen, I played guitar, I sucked.

404
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.680
I played drums, I sucked. I sang thrash metal. I sucked.

405
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.559
The main reason I sucked at the thresh mellow is

406
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.880
where my hat's off to you. I didn't know what

407
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.000
the fuck I was doing. I had no technique. I

408
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.839
was just screaming, and like, I look at people that

409
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:57.680
like they have the technique.

410
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:02.000
Yeah, death that like along for the long haul you

411
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.680
kind of you should probably develop a technique instead of

412
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.519
you have to just air jumping and yelling or whatever.

413
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:10.519
I've seen a lot of bands lose their voice a

414
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.160
week in, a week to two weeks in.

415
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.000
Sometimes I want to sing a song on my show,

416
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.079
and I came to make it through one Slayer song

417
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.279
because I'm not doing it right and my throat.

418
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:21.960
Gets all fucked up.

419
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.400
Yeah, it's not just you know, screaming and yelling, you.

420
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:26.400
Know, exactly. That's why I want people to know.

421
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.160
Yeah, you know, they think that's what it is, but

422
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:33.880
it's so much harder to sing death metal or than

423
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:34.880
it would be.

424
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.960
A pop song. Yeah, you know. Yeah, And that's where

425
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.640
my hat's off your body into it work.

426
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.279
It's your entire respiratory system.

427
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:43.880
Really, no doubt.

428
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:47.039
I mean, my heart rate affected my my vocals even,

429
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.799
you know. Yeah, I've learned all sorts of stuff that's cool,

430
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:56.079
and your viewership should check out a charismatic voice Elizabeth.

431
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:01.400
She's a phenomenal opera singer, but she has taken a

432
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:06.640
liking to extreme extreme vocals and is doing a ton

433
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.759
of research based off of it, or based you know,

434
00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:13.960
a bunch of research on on extreme vocals, and it's

435
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:15.880
there's a whole lot of really cool. I was part

436
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.960
of the the you know this this research and there's

437
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.400
a whole lot of cool stuff coming and from them

438
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.839
and just listening to her do these uh you know,

439
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:31.640
reviews or like analysis of metal vocalists and stuff extreme

440
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.200
vocalists and shit like that. It's just cool to see

441
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:36.519
somebody who's an opera singer that makes me my job

442
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:39.039
drop watching her job drop too is really cool, you

443
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:41.960
know like that. And so you know, even somebody like

444
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.759
that who's very collegiate, you know, very extremely educated in

445
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:51.119
this subject acknowledges it as as a real bona fide.

446
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:52.839
This is a real This is a real thing, and

447
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:56.720
it's got applications maybe even outside of vocals, you know,

448
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:58.279
like with some pathology.

449
00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:00.880
I want to check her out myself. Yeah, Like that's

450
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:01.440
pretty cool.

451
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:02.279
He's super sick.

452
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:04.599
Do you have any final things you want to let

453
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:07.119
the listeners know. We haven't talked about that. They should know.

454
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.240
We're on our final tour for the Terra Site album

455
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.839
cycle and we'll be going home after this and finishing

456
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:16.319
writing our record. We're about three or four songs in

457
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:18.079
and I'm going to finish it by the end of

458
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.640
the year and record it and then be be back

459
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:21.880
out probably a year from hour or so.

460
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:24.000
A little more than that. Maybe nice.

461
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:27.160
Yeah, And I do have to say my final word

462
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:31.799
is I love the artwork on that album, Oh my god.

463
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:34.680
And I'm all about our artwork and that I look

464
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.920
at that. That's the kind of album that I would

465
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:40.000
walk into OZ Records and go to Brian Slego.

466
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:41.359
That's a cool album.

467
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:43.839
It tells a story exactly.

468
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:44.720
That's it.

469
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:47.240
