00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:11.080
Hi, you have done too here Centrue w see wow

2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:12.640
for you your.

3
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.719
This is the pipe Man on the Adventures pipe Man

4
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.800
here on W four c Y Radio at Download Festival.

5
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:25.519
And I'm here with.

6
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.399
I'm Sarah and I'm Guion and we're from kel Ave

7
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.439
and we're from Bangor in North Wales.

8
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.399
Nice and I'm glad you said they say your name

9
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.200
because I would have sucked it up.

10
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.280
Okay, Oh that's.

11
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.359
Funny you mentioned that because there are a lot of

12
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.320
people tend to have a different way of saying our

13
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.000
name as well. So people even say kell Ave, some

14
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.200
people say kell Avi, and some people even say Salav.

15
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.119
So it's really cool how people have like a different

16
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.200
interpretation of how to say It's like another another layer

17
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.359
of the art to sort of pull apart and make

18
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:03.799
your own.

19
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.799
And that's kind of why I always as artists say

20
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.359
it at festivals, because a the worst thing I could

21
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:17.159
do besides not recording, is to mispronounce your band name.

22
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.439
And second of all, you guys say it a lot

23
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.439
cooler than I can. Now that I heard you say, uh,

24
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:24.719
I probably would have fucked it up.

25
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.359
We've had the practice to be fair.

26
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:28.560
Yeh, Yeah, there you go.

27
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:34.599
So we were talking before, and I want I wanted

28
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:36.480
to go over something with you and tell you a

29
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:41.239
little story and see what you think. Okay, So I

30
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.519
was married to a British girl, and a lot of

31
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.280
these British girls, they like, come over to America and

32
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.840
they act like the hoity toity Royal and they put

33
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.040
on this whole act. And you know, she was like that.

34
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.760
During the day. She'd be like, miss I'm better than you.

35
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.840
You're just a lowly American class list and wet, we're

36
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.400
better than you. And then she turned into fun party girl,

37
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:11.599
and then she would turn into batshit crazy girl after

38
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.680
fifteen margaritas, like she used to do on the daily.

39
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.879
But I never knew where she lived.

40
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.400
We Brits and known to and when we when we party,

41
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.280
we uh, we put the foot down and we probably

42
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.400
we go foot foot on the gas and go hard

43
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:27.719
on it.

44
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.240
Well, I can tell you, well, she definitely did that.

45
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.039
But I can listen. You want to know where she's from?

46
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.400
Do you have any idea where she would be from?

47
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.360
With that Hoiti toyde accent wrought miss Royal?

48
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.479
I mean I got a couple of ideas in mind.

49
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:48.360
By I wouldn't say be able to say anywhere specific Newcastle.

50
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:54.120
Yeah, that checks out, And that's why you know, it's funny.

51
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.639
I always bring that up with bands here because I

52
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.400
get the same response all the time, and and then

53
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.120
they're like, but didn't you couldn't you tell the Jeordi accent.

54
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:10.439
I'm like, no, she spoke the proper Queen's English.

55
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.960
You can take someone out of their hometown where you

56
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.560
can never take the hometown out of that person. But

57
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:16.960
that definitely checks out.

58
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:18.280
Yeah, right, Yeah.

59
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:19.280
Newcastle is one of.

60
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.159
Those places in the UK where it's just absolutely wild

61
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.719
and like the people they've they've made out of stronger

62
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.759
stuff a lot than a lot of places. Like you

63
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.560
go out for a night out in Newcastle? Have you

64
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:32.319
been to Newcastle?

65
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.479
Nah? Like surprisingly, it's it's so crazy.

66
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.520
I mean the winds and the weather that can just

67
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.039
be like awful, and like you can be out in

68
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:47.319
like minus five minus seven celsius and people will be

69
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.960
in the pouring rain, and people will be out in

70
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.039
like small dresses and small t shirts and stuff just

71
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.960
completely oblivious to it, completely immune, and they would be

72
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.560
there freezing their asses off, thinking that we're about to

73
00:03:58.560 --> 00:03:59.960
meet God in the cold.

74
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.800
And like That blows my mind too, because all this

75
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:09.560
whole country is like bipolar weather, you know, like you

76
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.439
guys like have terrible weather most of the time.

77
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.720
We do, especially in Wales where we're from. I think

78
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.519
whe're I think we were known for having our own

79
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.600
little microclimates and there's just there'll be pockets of pure

80
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:28.160
horizontal rain and you go a couple of miles down

81
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.519
the road and it's just like beaming sunshine and like

82
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.639
did someone have to kill a goat or something for

83
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:33.560
that big yellow ball?

84
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.279
This guy's come out? What the fuck's going on?

85
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.319
Right? Oh? Man? Man? You know.

86
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.000
Oh by the way, what a fucking great tattoo on

87
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:44.040
your I love your arm.

88
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.240
Oh, thank you very much. The Universal Monsters.

89
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.800
Tell me about it. I mean it's very detailed and

90
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.519
good and like, oh my god.

91
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:53.839
Thank you.

92
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:54.120
Yeah.

93
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.120
I've spent a few years putting them all together.

94
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.920
When I was a teenager at a part time job

95
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.759
and a quarry and my site manager knew that I

96
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.199
was into spooky stuff, getting into horror and things like that,

97
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.319
and he said, he asked me, have you ever.

98
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.439
Seen any of the Universal Horror films yet?

99
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.360
And I was like, I haven't yet, and he was

100
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.480
just like you have to, I implore you please do,

101
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.319
and he gave me a stack of movies and I

102
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.000
just binge the Moor So all the Originals, Creature from

103
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.399
the Black Lagoon, Brider Frankenstein, Dracula, and I just fell

104
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:28.680
in love with him from there.

105
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.360
And I would always remember going over to his.

106
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.680
House and he just had all the memorabilia from there,

107
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.120
all the originals, and it was just so fascinating, and

108
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.959
I think that just drew me in and I just

109
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.120
got obsessed from there. So then as soon as I

110
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.199
was legally allowed to get tattooed, I think the first

111
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:46.879
thing I do was just start getting these put on

112
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.199
on me nice.

113
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:52.560
And so does that come into your bleed, into your music?

114
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.920
Absolutely, I think there's a sort of darkness and like

115
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.720
a spooky side to the music that we put out,

116
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.399
is that it's in there for sure, especially like it's

117
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.160
from like the soundtracks of like those movies back then

118
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.160
as well, the soundscapes and stuff that they put in

119
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.000
if I found out to be very inspiring and it

120
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:13.800
made me think a little. It makes me think a

121
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.639
little bit more out of the box when I'm putting

122
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.079
things together. So like I've I've got the guitars, I've

123
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:19.920
got the bass, I've got the drums, we've got rooms

124
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.560
for the vocals and and the synse and stuff. But

125
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:26.079
there's always room for that one little extra thing to

126
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.079
just make it so that little bit more sinister. And

127
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.480
that's always always trying to go for.

128
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:35.480
I love it. I love it. And so you guys,

129
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.079
look at you. You're all cool looking in pink. And

130
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.680
we were talking also before the interview about the Sophie

131
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:48.920
Lancaster Foundation, and so immediately when I met you earlier,

132
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:54.399
that's what I thought of immediately, and then I saw

133
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:58.680
your photographer shirt, but before that, I just saw the pink.

134
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.519
I'm like, man, that's Sophie Leocaster.

135
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:02.720
Yeah.

136
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.680
The Sophie Lancaster Foundation is a charity that really means

137
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.839
a lot to the two of us. We've been honored

138
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.680
to have been asked to do some shows with them

139
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:16.839
and some fundraisers to help raise awareness for the charity.

140
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.639
It's something that we that really really means a lot

141
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:20.639
to us, isn't it.

142
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.480
Yeah, definitely. And you know, me and Guion we're you

143
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.639
know different. You know, I'm here like pastal goth Barbie,

144
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.680
But I think through our music as well. We try

145
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.399
and inspire people to be themselves and not to worry

146
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.560
about what anyone thinks of them, and not to try

147
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.839
and be somebody that they don't want to be either.

148
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.600
You know, we still get laughter and stuff, but we

149
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.959
don't care. I think it's really important to be happy,

150
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.199
to be yourself, to be who you want to be,

151
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.199
to look how you want to look, and to you know,

152
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.680
follow whatever you want to do with your life as well.

153
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.319
So the Sophie Lancaster Foundation is something so so important

154
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.839
to us and honor that we we've been able to

155
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.639
work with them and raise awareness of the charity as well.

156
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:13.040
Absolutely, and it is an amazing foundation because listen, everybody

157
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.959
should just be themselves. Like and I don't care. I

158
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.879
don't understand why people care how other people do their

159
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.759
hair out, they dress, you know, what they do. People

160
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.639
seem to be, especially in my country, so obsessed with

161
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.959
things that don't affect their life in any way, shape

162
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.840
or form. Why do you care what somebody else does,

163
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:40.679
who somebody else loves, what they do for living? Like,

164
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:42.840
the list could go on and on, and we're making

165
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:44.840
in the whole world a big deal.

166
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:45.480
About this shit.

167
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:49.720
It's amazing how much time people have on their hands

168
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:54.639
to fill their lives with such such a divisive and

169
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:56.399
negative attitude and mindset.

170
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.480
I don't know where they find the time. I really don't.

171
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.039
I don't get it, and I don't have the time

172
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.320
for this shit, and they do, like all day long,

173
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.120
all day long. It's like, why don't you go to work?

174
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.039
That affects your life? What you're saying, doesn't you know?

175
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:14.639
As long as you as long as you're happy and

176
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:19.559
you have your health, and you just look after each other,

177
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.360
look after you, look after your loved ones. I mean,

178
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.639
why bother yourself and why bother other people?

179
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.960
Yeah, and like somebody like me, I've had my hair

180
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.039
blue for years. It's not right now because I'm taking

181
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.000
a break because it's so much fucking work. Uh, But

182
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:40.879
you know, I carried myself in a certain way that

183
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.080
people didn't look at me wrongly and it's kind of weird. Okay,

184
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.440
if you're eighteen with blue hair, then you're a loser,

185
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.720
that's a trouble maker, blah blah blah. And you're in

186
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:57.279
your fifties with blue hair, you're stylish. That's what happened

187
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.279
to me, And I would even go like I do

188
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.080
business stuff too, and I'll go to like I'm a

189
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.360
trust in the chamber. I'll go to chamber meeting with

190
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.200
Sudan and blue Hair and all these doctors and lawyers

191
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.759
and all these professional people my age are like, man,

192
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.679
I wish I had the courage to do that, but hey,

193
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:17.840
you're a radio you should.

194
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.440
It's amazing, Like, but why can't they either?

195
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:24.519
Exactly?

196
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.360
But it is great to see the big change that

197
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.000
is has happened over the last few years, especially with

198
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.840
like tattoo culture. I mean before it like it would

199
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.559
just used to be prisoners and sailors that would be

200
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:41.200
associated with that with having tattoos, and like now there's

201
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.480
just so many people out there who have them and

202
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:47.679
wear them proudly as they should in all sorts of professions.

203
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:49.919
It's it's really great to see that big shift in

204
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.039
culture that there is a lot more acceptability than there was.

205
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.159
And you know, it's funny because it used to be

206
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:00.799
when I was younger, like you didn't get a job

207
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.720
if you had a tattoo, you know, or you had

208
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.519
to do something, put something on it or cover it

209
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:11.879
up or whatever. And it's so commonplace now, and you know,

210
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:16.399
It's funny because I have a brother who probably one

211
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:23.000
of the bunch judging people on Earth, and he saw somebody.

212
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.080
We were somewhere at a restaurant or something. He's like,

213
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:27.679
he saw somebody with a tattoo and made some comment.

214
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:32.360
I'm like, dude, everybody has tattoos nowadays. He's like, maybe

215
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:36.720
everybody you hang out with. And I'm like, why don't

216
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:40.679
you look around this restaurant. I'll guarantee you there's a

217
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.759
very low percentage of people in here that don't have

218
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:45.440
at least one tattoo.

219
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.360
You'll find you'll find that happens, and you know, it's

220
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.240
just again, it's just one of those choices. You like,

221
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.399
you likes hot season have them or you don't, or

222
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.440
you can you can admire them from a from afar.

223
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:03.519
If that If that's your bag, happy days. But it's

224
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.039
it's all about just letting people be who they want

225
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:06.200
to be.

226
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:08.159
And your other arm.

227
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.039
Are you going to fish that arm too as a

228
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.519
sleep or keep it the way it is?

229
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.840
Well, yeah, I've got I've got some real estate left

230
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.759
to go on me here and there. I mean, that

231
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.799
was funny thing, that funny thing that you mentioned that

232
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.000
I was talking to Sarah earlier on I was just

233
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:26.759
looking around again admiring everybody's wonderful tattoos, because there's some

234
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.240
beautiful artwork on people around here at the festival, and

235
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.240
I was just thinking's like, I really really want to

236
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.480
get more tattoos. I really just want to be covered,

237
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:37.360
like from the neck down to my toes.

238
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.000
I think that's going to be the goal.

239
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.919
Nice And what do you think about that?

240
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:43.039
Lovely?

241
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:47.720
Yeah, yeah, I love beyond tattoos, you know, personally I do.

242
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.879
I do like tattoos, but yeah, it's all about like

243
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:55.039
expressing yourself and it's uh, yeah, it's exciting having a

244
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:56.320
new tattoo as well, isn't it.

245
00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.799
Yeah, it's an It's an indescribable experience, isn't it. And

246
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.840
you can't compare it to anything else. I mean there

247
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:08.720
is a sort of underlying sense of masochism to.

248
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.519
It a little bit, a little bit, but you get.

249
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.120
A pretty picture at the end, and isn't that what

250
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:13.840
it's all about.

251
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.080
It's about the reward.

252
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.039
Hell yeah, you know, and your guy's hair are kind

253
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:23.320
of matches, okay did that happen before you met? Or

254
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.600
and you're just like, oh, look another one. With colored

255
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:32.840
hair just like mine or is it your thing now

256
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.279
as a couple, I've.

257
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.559
Been doing my hair like this off and on for

258
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.039
a few years. I think when we met, I was

259
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.919
again like yourself. I took a little break from it because,

260
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.720
as we know, peroxideer is just pure murder on your hair.

261
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:48.360
So I took a little break and just went down

262
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:51.279
the standard gothrough, just put a plane black. And then

263
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.679
I was just looking at some picture, some pictures from

264
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.919
when I did have more colorful hair, and then Sarah

265
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.559
was having pink putting hit put in her hair as well.

266
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:01.759
I just and you know what, I really really miss it.

267
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:05.519
And I think it was before one of our music videos.

268
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.039
I was like, I really want to have my hair

269
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:10.519
like how it was back then for this and then

270
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.399
since then it just sort of stuck.

271
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:13.159
To it nice.

272
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.279
Well that's kind of like me because so I took

273
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.679
a break and then I was at one of the

274
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.519
festivals I do Welcome to Rockville last year, and that's

275
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.960
when my hair was kind of like this that is now,

276
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:30.720
which is just normal. It's not really normal because it

277
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.679
does have the blonde streaks and stuff, but to me,

278
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.879
that's as normal as it's getting and there was this

279
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:42.480
chick that I'm friends with now and she colors like

280
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.120
all the rock stars hairs, and she was there with

281
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:49.480
this band of hers that I was interviewing. So I

282
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.559
showed her all the different because I had pretty much

283
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:55.159
every hair color, and I'm like, how about you do

284
00:14:55.399 --> 00:15:00.759
my hair during the interview, And I'm like, and do

285
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:01.559
whatever you want.

286
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:06.200
You can't free canvas. I don't care. I didn't even

287
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.799
pay attention.

288
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:12.519
I couldn't. I'm too busy interviewing. And then you know,

289
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.559
we're going to a bathroom to rinse my hair. Like

290
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.519
it wasn't in a salon people, it was just like

291
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:21.320
right out there, like we're sitting right now.

292
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:27.360
And so she ended up doing blue purple and pink.

293
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:32.639
That's awesome, right, And then like at first it just

294
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.240
had that like bluish purple look. I didn't even notice

295
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.039
the pink in it till it started fading. And it

296
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.639
was like the best fade I ever had when I

297
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:44.600
had my hair done, because then it turned into blue,

298
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:48.639
purple and pink separately, and it was such a cool look.

299
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:49.879
I can imagine.

300
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.279
They're great colors to put in your hair, especially when

301
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.480
they start fading and like you start washing it through

302
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.039
and like they could have a sort of a pastly

303
00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:59.559
thing about them after a while, don't they.

304
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:00.879
Yeah, definitely, definitely. Yeah.

305
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.159
I like how it kind of there's a different vibe

306
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:05.360
then as well, isn't that It's nice exciting.

307
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:05.399
Here we go.

308
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:08.960
Yeah, So now we've talked about all that stuff.

309
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.200
We'll probably talk about more of it, but now let's

310
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.960
actually talk about your music, So tell us a little

311
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.159
bit about Okay, so you're an artist. I hate ours

312
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.639
being boxed into a genre. It's kind of stupid. Art

313
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.679
should be able to just do whatever they want. They

314
00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.360
don't have to play because it's this genre. And I

315
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:28.440
do find like there's our lot of genres out and

316
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.440
as like they use a formula and you can only

317
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:37.200
do this. Okay, how would you as yours describe your music.

318
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:44.000
With the sound we do take maybe some influence from

319
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:51.639
like new metal, industrial, goth electronic, but the vibe is

320
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.840
we talk a lot about you know, being yourself, like

321
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:02.240
anthemic songs, being yourself honest to a mental health as well,

322
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:07.400
hopefully some empowering songs. But we do perform in the

323
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:08.680
Welsh language as well.

324
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.720
Wait wait wait, wait, wait wait wait, I want to

325
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.240
hear you sing a Welsh song.

326
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:23.839
Awesome do it? So this is our song. It's called morgana.

327
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:37.079
Manhausi and Ibi Thang have you Betha thiletra Gadivia, vang Hem, Drammer,

328
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.240
pedung hom pass and Guillia.

329
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:43.480
Wow wow, thank you so much.

330
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:45.160
That was so amazing.

331
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.240
But you know what was even more amazing, but is

332
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.839
like a lot of times when songs are a different language,

333
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:54.920
it's kind of hard for them to sound like a song.

334
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.480
Like if somebody tries to take a song in English

335
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.480
and turn into Spanish, it doesn't make sense because it

336
00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:05.240
doesn't rhyme or go together. But man, I didn't even

337
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.839
have to know what any of that meant because it

338
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.000
just it just made sense and it went together.

339
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:13.960
It was so cool, amazing, Thank you wow.

340
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:14.759
I love it.

341
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.480
Like and so is that a normal thing in your

342
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.799
country to sing in Welsh if you're a metal band.

343
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:27.240
Not in Wales, in the Welsh language, where like the

344
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.240
only the first new Welsh language new metal band. Wow,

345
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:36.799
So we are doing something something different. But the feedback

346
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:40.680
has been amazing really, Like growing up, we didn't have

347
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.079
like a Welsh language metal band that.

348
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:44.000
We could relate to.

349
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:46.960
So that's what we wanted to do with our band, was,

350
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:52.640
you know, to make metal goth music. That the band

351
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:55.920
that we needed growing up in our first language, basically

352
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:57.160
that in the Welsh language.

353
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.039
Yeah, Wales is often refer to as the land of song,

354
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.079
and the land of song needs something in its catalog

355
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:13.359
for everybody, and we hope that we that we're providing

356
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:19.000
a heavier aspect to our culture and our heritage. That

357
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:24.400
and then there's representation for alternative music or a lot

358
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.599
more representation for alternative music.

359
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:29.279
Wow. I love that.

360
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:32.720
It's pretty cool because I don't even know. I don't

361
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:36.480
know of a lot of Welsh bands anyway, and metal.

362
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.240
There are certainly a few.

363
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:43.599
We have got a lot of Welsh bands who are

364
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:45.200
are on the heavier side of things.

365
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.160
There's Bullet for my Valentine.

366
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:52.640
We've got Funeral for a friend holding Absence, Skindred, there's

367
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:53.319
just so many.

368
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.640
They're doing a secret show tonight. Did you know that Skindred?

369
00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:00.839
They're doing a secret show here at Download tonight.

370
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.559
I can't wait for it. We'll be there nice.

371
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:09.079
So, speaking of Download, how is it being here at Download?

372
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.000
It was initially indescribable.

373
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:17.640
It's been an absolute honor for us to have the

374
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:21.480
opportunity to play here for someone, not just in Wales,

375
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.640
just like the UK in general. And I think there

376
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.440
is a higher honor than being invited to play it

377
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:28.480
Download and to be able to say that we've done

378
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:33.440
it and representing Welsh language music as well. It's just

379
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.519
an achievement for us that I feel that we have

380
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:38.759
worked really hard for and to be able to say

381
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:41.680
that we've done that now, it's just incredible.

382
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:44.519
Yeah, it was like the best feeling stepping on that

383
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.240
stage and seeing a full tent there to support us,

384
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:53.160
loads of Welsh flags there. It was just insane, like

385
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.480
very very proud, and we made history as well by

386
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.440
being the first artist to perform in the Welsh language

387
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:02.079
at Download. So it's just an absolute honor for us

388
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:05.880
and we'll never forget that moment. It was just the

389
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.200
best time of our lives really.

390
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.359
And see that that's kind of amazing too, because like

391
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:14.240
for the artists in the FAMI, when you're putting on

392
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:18.519
a really good show that could change your life, okay,

393
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.440
and Download is known for some good shows. Like you know,

394
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.119
there's some bands in my history that I didn't like

395
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:29.400
do I saw them live or didn't. Like, there's bands

396
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.359
that I saw live, I'm like, oh my god, that's

397
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.200
the best thing ever. And one of them was bring

398
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.839
Me to Rise. And when they first came to the States,

399
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:41.960
you know, and I never heard them before, I was

400
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.839
late in the game and they were live, I was like,

401
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:50.480
oh my god. And ever since then, any festival I do,

402
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:54.279
no interviews. I don't care who the hell you are

403
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:56.480
during bring Me to the Horizon.

404
00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:59.759
It should be a felony to miss to bring me

405
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:02.759
the Horizon show. If you're within this with your within

406
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:05.519
the vicinity of one either there is no excuse.

407
00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:06.440
It just has to be done.

408
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:09.880
Yeah, and so let's let's talk about what makes you

409
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.880
unique too, besides the Welsh bart because like that's an

410
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:15.440
herd thing, bring me in a Rise in Like, like

411
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:17.599
I said, I came late in the game, so I

412
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:20.079
kind of caught him at that's my spirit. And then

413
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:23.240
I went back and one of the things that really

414
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:27.640
impresses me about them is the fact that it's unique.

415
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.599
It's not like a lot of bands are using these

416
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.799
formulas and they're just doing whatever they want because that's

417
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.359
what an artist should do. Artists shouldn't fit into a

418
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:40.839
box like do whatever you feel, whatever you want play,

419
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:44.279
You're gonna get hate no matter what you do. And

420
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.240
a lot of people gave him hate okay for but

421
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:50.920
you know what, then they still love him even though

422
00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:53.440
they're giving him hate. And even he said, always said,

423
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.720
why do I want to write the same album over

424
00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:57.599
and over again?

425
00:22:58.720 --> 00:22:59.039
That's it?

426
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:03.680
And having such a broad catalog in different styles on

427
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:08.640
the evolution of them is something that every artist is

428
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.680
really aspired to, like to be able to have the guts,

429
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:17.440
let learn the creativity, to be able to reach the

430
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:21.319
audiences and the levels that they've had they have doing

431
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:23.839
that kind of music. It's just absolutely inspiring.

432
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:28.000
Yeah, and there definitely Bring Me is like in my

433
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:31.920
top five of all favorite bands that it just speaks

434
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:35.880
to me, Like Throwne is like my theme song. It's

435
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:39.839
totally me, totally me. And then can You Feel My

436
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:43.440
Heart I totally relate to one hundred percent as well.

437
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:46.480
It's my favorite Bringing Me the Horizon song.

438
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:49.000
That song it is like unbelievable.

439
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:54.440
My favorite lyric of all time of any artists anywhere

440
00:23:55.400 --> 00:24:00.440
is I can't drown my demons they know how those swim?

441
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:01.200
Yeah?

442
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:02.119
Oh my guys.

443
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:06.920
As the most brilliant shit ever and mine definitely swim

444
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:12.279
very well because I'm a surfer. Oh my god. So

445
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:16.720
oh and you know, I was thinking too because of

446
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:21.880
the theme of your music and your tattoo. I think

447
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.759
we need to like set up a tour and that

448
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:32.160
tour is gonna be Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, icenein Kills

449
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:34.319
and you amazing.

450
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.039
I'd die a very happy man if that happened.

451
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:43.279
Right like and the Iceland Kills, like Kilton no pun

452
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:48.119
intended killed it here at Download I think one of

453
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.160
the best sets of the whole festival. And even a

454
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:54.640
publicist that was whip me he said the same thing.

455
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.640
I think part of it too is because they put

456
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:00.839
on a performance. It's not like anybody could get up

457
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.519
and play their music. But live music should be a

458
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:06.240
performance and an entertainment.

459
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:09.920
Absolutely, and that's something that we strongly believe in as well.

460
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:12.880
Nobody wants to go to a show to see a

461
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.079
handful of people just staring at their feet or their

462
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:19.160
instruments and just sort of shuffling through his set. It's

463
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:22.160
it's rock and roll, it's it's rebellion. There has there

464
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:24.880
has to be the energy there the performance. If you're

465
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:28.039
you're only on that stage for a really small amount

466
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:31.799
of time. Yeah, and if you're not giving it you're

467
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:37.319
absolute all throughout that set, then you're you're being you're

468
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:39.880
not being genuine to yourself and you're not being genuine

469
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:41.960
to your audience. And I think that's something that really

470
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:45.519
translates really really well with Ice nine Kills because they

471
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:50.000
give it absolute hell every single time and you can

472
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:51.240
see it in the way that the.

473
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:52.599
Crowds react to them.

474
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.839
They go absolutely crazy for them, and it's an amazing

475
00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:56.559
thing to see.

476
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:02.640
So, yeah, well you've played already and everything else. How

477
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:04.359
does it feel being here at download?

478
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:08.039
It feels great. I mean we love it here.

479
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:11.519
Yeah, we just feel so so comfortable as well, like

480
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.400
you can be yourself here, and you know, we've met

481
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:18.240
some amazing people. We've caught up with people haven't seen

482
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:20.359
for a while. You make new friends here, and the

483
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:23.400
atmosphere is just so so lovely. We've been looked after,

484
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:26.839
and the weather's been amazing as well. So it's just

485
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:28.519
been really really special, isn't it.

486
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:31.920
Yeah, it's special. It's definitely the word for it.

487
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:36.799
You mean, it's not Newcastle weather, not.

488
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:43.599
Quite Newcastle weather, maybe Newcastle, Australia. Right, right, we've had

489
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:46.960
the beaming sun beating down on us all weekend and

490
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:48.440
we're so thankful for it.

491
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:51.640
And also it's not really great for gods to be

492
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:52.720
sun beaten.

493
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:58.559
Now, No, Yeah, I think when I go back and

494
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:01.319
go back home to inspect myself, I might find a

495
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:04.920
couple of crispy bits I have I've missed with the sunscreen.

496
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:08.960
Right, you know what, you're the first person in the

497
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:13.240
UK to call I've heard call it sunscreen because in

498
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:16.039
the States we call it sunscreen, but you guys call

499
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:19.759
it sun cream, right, something like that.

500
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:25.799
I think in Welsh it's ellie hayle. I think I do.

501
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:27.640
I think I say sunscreen as well.

502
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:30.880
Yeah, it's because it's a spray. It's it's a spray

503
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:32.480
on the thing. They can't call it a cream. If

504
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:34.960
it's spray, you can't spray cream what I did.

505
00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:37.079
The people I was with they were paying the cream

506
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.200
on though, So I guess you know, it depends on

507
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:40.880
what you use.

508
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:41.759
You know.

509
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:46.880
I'm pedunciic like that, so I do have to say that.

510
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:50.240
Man, you guys speak great English.

511
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:54.559
I know how weird that sounds in the UK, but

512
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:57.799
I mean I can understand you perfectly. It's almost like

513
00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:59.920
you're almost American English. You know.

514
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:04.000
I can only thank my English teacher from school.

515
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:07.559
Right right, because it is while people like tend to

516
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:12.480
think that, oh, all Americans sound the same, all people

517
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:15.680
from England sound the same, and they also lump in

518
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:19.359
the Welsh, the Irish and the Scottish all and like

519
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:21.480
you all sound the same. But I can tell you

520
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:24.400
there's some people in this room. They've been talking to

521
00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:27.119
me and it's like one of those things when you

522
00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:31.599
don't understand what somebody's saying, so you just say, yeah, we.

523
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:35.000
Do have some really thick accents over here.

524
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.880
And so how about you guys like.

525
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.920
You grew up close to each other in Wales or

526
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:49.319
you know, what's the differences of your upbringings?

527
00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:53.000
Well, I mean, from as far as Wales is concerned.

528
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:55.400
In general, there is a big difference in the way

529
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:58.240
people speak in the North where we're from, compared to

530
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:02.240
the south. The Southern Welsh accent is something that's probably

531
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:07.079
hurt a little bit more commonly worldwide. I'm not going

532
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:09.279
to attempt a South Walian accent and discredit.

533
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:12.359
Can you do one? Well?

534
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:14.200
If I hope I'm allowed to.

535
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:17.440
My grandmother was from South Wales, Okay, so she would

536
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.880
say something like come by her, come by.

537
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:20.839
Your sa, come by her.

538
00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:23.839
Yeah, that's that's that's a really strong, good example.

539
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:26.400
Now see, I've been into the UK enough that I

540
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:28.720
did understand that. But if it was my first time,

541
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:32.839
I'd be like, what did you just say? That's like

542
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.359
my first time I went to uh Birmingham.

543
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.119
Uh.

544
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:40.799
Somebody somebody said to me here a friend of mine,

545
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:43.759
are like, you're not going to understand the word. They say,

546
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:46.799
I'm like, come on, it's English, how how's that going

547
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:49.519
to be? I went there and I'm like, I really

548
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:53.160
did discover why as he sounds the way he does,

549
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:59.640
it had nothing to do with drugs. I couldn't understand

550
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:02.839
the word these people were saying. I was like, can

551
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:05.279
you please translate that for me? I was trying to

552
00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:08.599
look it up on the Google Translated, and even Google

553
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:14.640
Translate didn't understand them. It is wild though, like people

554
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:17.359
tend to think that, but it's true all over. Just

555
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:19.359
like I'm from New York and New Jersey. I can

556
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:22.599
tell what city in New Jersey somebody's from. I can

557
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:25.559
tell the different parts of New York. And then there's also,

558
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:29.720
of course the South United States, which you know, they

559
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.799
think the South is gonna rise again, and we don't

560
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.680
want that to happen. It's not gonna happen. But man,

561
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:41.960
when they talk, they sound like they're slow, you know,

562
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:44.079
they sound like idiots.

563
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.839
It's like, Hi, we.

564
00:30:49.400 --> 00:31:00.319
Are down load, and I'm like, hello, like I don't

565
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:01.920
have all day here of an interview to do.

566
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:05.160
Wouldn't be great if you're asking someone for directions to

567
00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:06.559
the bathroom, then no, no.

568
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:13.720
No, no, I've pissed my pants before, you know. Whereas

569
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:17.960
you know, my my accents toned down because of what

570
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.400
I do for a living. But like you know, I'll

571
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:24.599
talk really faster if I'm around my people. In fact,

572
00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:27.559
that happened earlier. I was talking to some people and

573
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:31.359
during mid conversation I started getting faster and faster. Because

574
00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:33.799
you know, we're a lot like the northeast of the

575
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.759
States and the UK. I see a lot of similarities.

576
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:42.359
Not only do way we speak, but also you know,

577
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:48.559
our attitude brutally honest, you know where you stand, you know,

578
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:49.880
and I prefer that.

579
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:53.799
Oh yeah, We've got some friends who are real straight shooters.

580
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.599
They're s all as sledgehammers and just brutal as fuck

581
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:58.119
with you, but you know you stand.

582
00:31:57.920 --> 00:31:59.559
With them exactly, you know.

583
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:03.599
And Okay, so I was talking punk house outside and

584
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:07.440
we were talking about that and they they can't I

585
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:11.519
was talking. I gave them an idea for a new shirt. Okay,

586
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:16.359
because because basically when you're in the South and the

587
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:20.799
United States, they go like this, oh, bless your heart,

588
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:25.920
which really means fuck you if you google translated. Okay, Like,

589
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:28.240
if you want to tell me fuck you, just say

590
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:28.759
fuck you.

591
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:29.519
Okay.

592
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:34.799
Like, and I was with this friend and she's talking

593
00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:37.720
all this shit about this other girl, and then the

594
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:39.960
girl walked up and she jumped up like they were

595
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:44.039
long lost best friends. And she sat down like what

596
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.079
the fuck was that? And she goes, oh, I was

597
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:51.400
just being friendly. That's not fucking friendly. That friendly is

598
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:54.160
like hey, how are you? And then they keep walking

599
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:58.279
but you're being fake. Well that's how I was brought up.

600
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:02.319
Well you were brought up fucking wrong, okay, because don't

601
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:05.359
talk shit about somebody and then talk behind their back

602
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:08.039
and then act like you're your best friend. Yeah, I'd

603
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:11.599
rather you don't like me, tell me you're a fucking asshole.

604
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:15.440
And I will like you, then the universe is always

605
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:17.920
watching when it comes to shit like that. The energy

606
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:20.400
that you always that you put out, you'll get You'll

607
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:22.640
get it box if you, if you put out, if

608
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:24.960
you if you're not going out there saying shit and

609
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:27.640
talking shit, I think you'll get it back at least twofold.

610
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.720
And I think everybody just has to be themselves like

611
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:33.880
you do you, And I think everybody else has to

612
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:38.119
let people be themselves, Like we're all individuals, we're all unique,

613
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:40.839
we're not robots. We don't have to be the same.

614
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:43.400
We don't have to believe the same. We don't have

615
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:45.200
to do the same things in life.

616
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:47.359
You do you?

617
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:49.160
And I think that's the.

618
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:54.599
Whole concept of being a weirdo musher freak, like I am.

619
00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:56.559
Same.

620
00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:58.480
Yeah, absolutely the same.

621
00:33:58.599 --> 00:33:58.759
Yeah.

622
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:02.839
That's my favorite so Lancaster shirt that says that because

623
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:05.880
I wear that proudly and if you have a problem

624
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:09.599
with it, I'll beat your ass. Okay, that's my viewpoint,

625
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:15.400
Like stop picking on bullying people that are goth or

626
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:19.280
marshers are different than you, because you know what, we're

627
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:20.840
all just human beings.

628
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:23.519
We're one race, the human.

629
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:25.760
Race as it should be.

630
00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:29.719
Absolutely so tell us what else you got going on

631
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:33.639

That's very cool and I can't wait to see all that.

650
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:35.719
So how do people go your socials or wherever else

651
00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:39.079
to check out all that stuff? And more importantly by

652
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:42.360
your merch or else. They can't listen to my show

653
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:44.679
and I might jump them in an alley.

654
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:55.280
So we're socials at we are cel av I on

655
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:58.079

And I want to go back to the weird omasher

659
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:11.719
freak that I am. So one time we were walking

660
00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:15.159
in the mall several years ago, my youngest daughter, who's

661
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:19.519
she's now like she's thirty, but then she was a teenager.

662
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:23.239
We're walking through the mall and like I'm making comments

663
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:26.519
about you know, I'll say, look, there's your new mother,

664
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:35.199
and she goes dead you like all the freaks. And

665
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:38.119
she goes to festivals with me and she had half

666
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:40.960
head and stuff like that. So I trained her well,

667
00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:46.199
but she definitely noticed what her dad's taste is. And

668
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:48.519
I'm like, you look at me. We were talking about

669
00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:52.039
the tattoos. I don't even have a but I'm still,

670
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:56.800
you know, blue hair. Whatever you do, express yourself, express

671
00:36:56.920 --> 00:37:01.440
your identity, do whatever's good for you, definitely, and you

672
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:04.639
know what, it doesn't affect anybody else's life, So why

673
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:07.159
do they care what you do with your body?

674
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:10.239
Exactly? It's about being respectful, isn't it. You know, that's

675
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:10.480
the thing.

676
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:14.119
It's just about being respectful and just letting people just

677
00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:16.159
get on with their lives basically, and.

678
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:17.960
Just yeah, no doubt about it.

679
00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:23.039
Individuality is something that's so important today, even more so

680
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:25.920
than ever with the state of the world where everybody

681
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:30.519
is just being so divisive and there's just this constant

682
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:35.719
need to have to conform and assimilate, and there's we

683
00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:39.800
need we need more individuals now more than more than ever.

684
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:40.239
Really.

685
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:43.679
I mean, you have to be comfortable in your own

686
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:47.360
skin and like, be happy with yourself and be your

687
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:48.199
own truth.

688
00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:51.559
No doubt about it. Like, and what you see in

689
00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:53.480
the mirror and other people see in the mirror two

690
00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:55.960
different things. And the only thing that merrits is what

691
00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:58.440
you see in the mirror. And we need to stop

692
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:03.679
looking for approval from people or them even thinking that

693
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:07.360
they have the right to give their approval or disapproval,

694
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.400
you know. And we're a lot cooler than those fucking

695
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:11.440
assholes anyway.

696
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:16.039
Yeah, there are people out there that you shouldn't take

697
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:18.679
any advice them. You shouldn't even trust them with like

698
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:23.280
a broom now, let alone choosing the decisions you make

699
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:24.320
with you with your life.

700
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:28.519
Fuck them, Yeah, especially when stuff like your hair or

701
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:30.920
even tattoos or ain't that stuff?

702
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:34.039
Like why do they care? I don't get it, man,

703
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:35.039
It's like.

704
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:39.079
You express it yourself and being able to do what

705
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:44.400
you want to do is what's good for your mental health,

706
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:49.960
and so therefore fuck them because your mental health is

707
00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:50.679
more important.

708
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:55.880
Yeah, yeah, you know, your happiness is the most important

709
00:38:55.920 --> 00:39:00.199
thing in the world. And just being comfortable with while

710
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:02.079
we were chatting, I've been comfortable with how you look,

711
00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:04.119
what you want to wear, what you want to do

712
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:07.679
with your life, and yeah, so important.

713
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:10.840
And you guys are so cute together. So how did

714
00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:11.360
this happen?

715
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:18.719
We started in another musical project a few years ago

716
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:23.480
and we started making some music together with some other people,

717
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:27.320
and after a while it kind of became apparent that

718
00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:31.039
we had a different type of ambition and a different

719
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:34.199
type of drive than the others, which, as you know,

720
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:39.159
what happens with a lot of bands, things started changing

721
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:42.159
a little bit creatively. So we decided that we were

722
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:47.239
going to venture off and become klav and we blazed

723
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:48.119
our own trail and.

724
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:50.679
Look where it's.

725
00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:55.360
Got us right, you're here at download download baby, Oh

726
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:58.360
my god, like and you add up packed house here

727
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:03.320
at download so fucking a that's amazing.

728
00:40:03.639 --> 00:40:06.280
Yeah, that's something that I will always be eternally grateful

729
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:08.679
for that just walking on that stage and just seeing

730
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:11.159
all those Welsh flags in front of us and just

731
00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:16.159
everybody chancing. That's just been etched onto my brain and

732
00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:19.880
it'll never leave. It's just the best memory. And to

733
00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:21.519
be able to have done that with my best friend

734
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:24.800
as well, I think there's that nothing could ever compete

735
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:24.960
with that.

736
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:26.960
I love it right now.

737
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:28.119
That's very emotional.

738
00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:29.599
Thank you, Oh my god.

739
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:34.679
See what a great guy that picked you. I'm not

740
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:36.639
saying you picked him, he picked you right?

741
00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:39.599
Which way around?

742
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:39.880
Was it?

743
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:41.639
Be honest?

744
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:43.119
I heard a story. Let's go.

745
00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:47.599
It was quite a mutual, wasn't it.

746
00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:48.559
Yeah?

747
00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:53.679
Yeah, yeah, I think we kind of yeah, we were

748
00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:55.719
sounding cheesy like we found each other.

749
00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:58.599
I think we both like needed each other. And he

750
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:03.760
is like my back friend. He genuinely is and much

751
00:41:03.880 --> 00:41:04.480
fun with him.

752
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:08.639
That's where it should be. And yeah, that is key,

753
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:09.880
find each other.

754
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:14.920
Like that's to me, that's what makes a great relationship

755
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:17.920
a great marriage is it's both.

756
00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:19.880
It's not one or the other.

757
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:23.280
It's been amazing that we've been able that we had

758
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:26.679
these same ambitions and things in life and they've over

759
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:30.599
evolved around the same thing, being music and being able

760
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:35.880
to do what we do the capacity that we that

761
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:38.840
we have done it in it's just been so much

762
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:41.719
more fun to be able to do it with a partner.

763
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.599
And I think, like with with music, it's it's kind

764
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:49.119
of like in you and then you know, you don't

765
00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:52.239
want to do anything else, but I think you can't either.

766
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:55.880
It's just there and I think we understand that, you know.

767
00:41:56.079 --> 00:41:58.679
I think that's what works.

768
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:01.760
In our relationship as well, because we have that eager to.

769
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:04.519
We want to perform, we want to make music, we

770
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:07.719
want to you know, we're very creative. So we understand

771
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:11.559
that it's this this passion is in us, you know.

772
00:42:11.639 --> 00:42:14.880
And sometimes you know, you go to a gig, you

773
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:18.000
leave the house at five in the morning, pack the car,

774
00:42:18.559 --> 00:42:21.880
you know, you travel four or five hours, do the gig,

775
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:24.559
and then you travel five hours back. But we understand,

776
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:27.599
you know, that's what we want to do. Maybe other

777
00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:29.519
people would understand like what the hell are you doing

778
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:32.039
that for? But for us, you know, it's in us,

779
00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:32.400
isn't it.

780
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:35.719
Yeah, it's it's not something it's not a fire that

781
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:40.880
you can just put out. It's just intrinsically in us.

782
00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:43.840
It's in music has always been in our blood and

783
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:49.840
we'll always do We'll always regardless of whatever happens from

784
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:53.159
here on now, we'll always be doing something creative or

785
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:55.840
musical in some kind of capacity.

786
00:42:57.079 --> 00:42:59.639
And that's amazing because to me, that's the best there

787
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:04.519
is definitely and the best connector too, Like that is

788
00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:07.760
a bond that is unbreakable, you.

789
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:12.599
Know, absolutely, And we've made so many wonderful friends and

790
00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:15.880
met so many amazing people from doing this as well,

791
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:18.559
and it's it's enriched our lives in like so many

792
00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:22.000
ways that we didn't think was possible, like.

793
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:25.719
The places we get to go to, and we've performed

794
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:29.559
across like Wales and England and more adventures to come

795
00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:29.880
as well.

796
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:35.719
Hopefully absolutely hadn't starting to take our eye to looking

797
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:36.719

There, absolutely, here for it, here for it.

00:43:48.360 --> 00:43:52.719
stage in Coachella. I have to say, sparkles and everything

804
00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:53.039

00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:58.599
Fit in Coachella for sure and the Look for Sure music.

806
00:43:58.719 --> 00:43:59.599

00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:06.679
Yes, but you would fit in at Welcome to Rockville,

808
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:11.639
Loward In Life Aftershock, Incarceration and Sonic Temple.

favorite favorite festival.

812
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:30.639
That's hard to There are so many incredible festivals here

813
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:34.679
in the UK to choose from. I think the one

814
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:37.039
that stands out for me, I think is I'd have

815
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:38.119
to say Bloodstock.

816
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:42.280

00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:42.840

and uh yeah, I need you at Bloodstock. I love

821
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:55.119
that festival. I love it for many reasons. One big

822
00:44:55.239 --> 00:44:59.840
reason is is Sophie Lancaster Foundation. They are so dedicated

823
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:04.159
do it and they even name a stage after her.

824
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:07.079
I mean, it's amazing, it's one devine. It's such a

825
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:08.280
beautiful thing to see.

826
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:11.679
Yeah, totally. And it's like such a family.

827
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:16.039
It's a family run festival, family community and it's so cool,

828
00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:20.679
like on Friday, the whole place where's pink in honor

829
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:25.880
of Sophie Lancaster, So you don't even have to change it.

830
00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:27.719
Needs to make sure that they have a pink bin

831
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:29.239
feed to go binge ousting in.

832
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:38.239
That's amazing. So is there any other final words that

833
00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:41.960
you want to share with the audience or meat.

834
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:48.119
I think we should part some Welsh wisdom and some

835
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:49.360
words in the cameraig.

836
00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:55.239
Yeah, we'd like to thank you in Welsh the alkhawei

837
00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:58.639
lot call on and that means thank you from the

838
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:02.559
bottom of my heart. So theohaway lot ain kalona, let's

839
00:46:03.159 --> 00:46:05.639
thank you from the bottom of our hats. It's been

840
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:08.760
really lovely chatting to you. I've genuinely had lovely time.

841
00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:09.519
Thank you so much.

842
00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:10.119
I love that.

843
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:12.639
And you did two things for me in the past

844
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:16.119
few minutes and you're speaking. One of them said a word.

845
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:20.639
I think it was car that was a Boston accent

846
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:24.559
because you I think it was Carr's way of those

847
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:25.320
because they always go.

848
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:28.280
Like ca ca, and you did that.

849
00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:32.000
I was noticing that before. I was like, oh, that's

850
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:34.480
pretty funny because I'm a New Yorker and we are

851
00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:37.719
rivals of Boston, so we don't like that.

852
00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:42.280
Asking no I'm just kid, but not a Penguins fan.

853
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.400
I take it. I know right, I'm a Devil's fan.

854
00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:49.199
I am a big hockey fan. Uh. And the Penguins

855
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:51.199
are Pittsburgh. We don't like them either.

856
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:54.719
Okay, you're gonna fucking hate Mike the team.

857
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:56.119
I support, Okay, let's hear it.

858
00:46:56.599 --> 00:46:57.679
I'm a Golden Nights guy.

859
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:02.920
I'll take that. That's okay. They're not rival of ours now, okay.

860
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:05.719
And they're new and they kick ass. Man, they're so good.

861
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:08.760
We got married out in Vegas, and I think it

862
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:12.920
was like I think within like, I don't think it's yeah,

863
00:47:13.119 --> 00:47:16.119
I don't think it was the inaugural year of the team.

864
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:17.800
I think it was like the second year. So like

865
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:20.719
everywhere we went, every hotel, just everywhere down the street,

866
00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:23.760
it was just like Golden Knights everywhere, and it was

867
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:25.920
just like it was impossible to not get swept up

868
00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:29.000
by it all. So then I think it was when

869
00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:33.320
COVID happened. I just found like I had some had

870
00:47:33.360 --> 00:47:35.239
some free time, and I was like, hey, I'm gonna

871
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:38.519
get into hockey. And I just started looking at some

872
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:41.760
of the highlights from like all Stanley Cups and stuff

873
00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:44.119
like that and then finding out the newer teams and

874
00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:47.039
then checking out Golden Knights, and everything just exploded from there.

875
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:49.639
I was like, yeah, I'm I think I'm a fan

876
00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:52.280
now that I've there will be times where I've stayed

877
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:54.559
up until like four or five in the morning to

878
00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:57.159
just catch a game live, and Soia'll just be flat

879
00:47:57.519 --> 00:47:59.840
asleep next to me and up just be like this

880
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:02.679
if I see a penalty, kill you fuck your mouth fuck,

881
00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:05.280
just trying not to wake her up.

882
00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:06.079
Right.

883
00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:11.360
I played hockey, coached roller hockey and ice hockey, and

884
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:14.239
I had second row blue line for the Devils where

885
00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:17.320
you would see the blood come and hit the window

886
00:48:18.000 --> 00:48:20.519
like it was coming at you, you know, because when

887
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:23.519
they would hit each other and then like even one time,

888
00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:27.679
the pucks they're frozen and they go out like one

889
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:30.280
hundred miles per hour and it came over the glass

890
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:33.519
and it literally skimmed my notes like I could feel

891
00:48:33.559 --> 00:48:35.320
it hit the girl next to me and.

892
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:38.519
Took her eye out. That's terrifying, Like that was fucking

893
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:41.639
lucky as hell for me. Wow, right, you know, but

894
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:43.480
it's hockey.

895
00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:48.400
It's worth it, yeah, very very primal sports.

896
00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:50.679
Now what you have to do is go look up

897
00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:54.719
one of the Stanley Cups in the nineties were the

898
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:59.599
Devils won. Martin Brodeer or one of the greatest goalwis

899
00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:00.440
ever hockey.

900
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:05.440
I watched it, I was there, scored a goal that's

901
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:09.360
incredible in the Stanley Cup. So search that.

902
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:14.559
Search Martin. It's actually spelled Martin, but because he's French,

903
00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:21.480
well French Canadian, it's Martin brodor scores a goal in

904
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:23.199
the Stanley Cup in the nineties.

905
00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:24.920
I'm sure you'll find a video.

906
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:26.840
I think all the best hockey players have to be

907
00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:29.079
French Canadian, right, I mean, especially you as a Golden

908
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:33.199
Knights fan, having Mark Andre Fleury and it's between our posts.

909
00:49:33.280 --> 00:49:34.880
That's just the best.

910
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:35.760
Floury is great.

911
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:40.719
And Gretzky not French Canadian but the great one, Oh

912
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:45.480
my god, amazing. Only hockey player ever in his whole

913
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.639
career to never get into a fight. That's pretty wild, right, absolutely,

914
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:54.119
gentlemen's since Chukova skater. They couldn't catch him to hit him.

915
00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:00.440
But and there was one more thing. I'm I'm a Jew,

916
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:05.119
and something you said was like one of our songs

917
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:09.079
or Hebrew songs in temple that is actually an old

918
00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:15.079
German beer song, so like just dispelling the whole myth

919
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:19.280
of sometimes stuff like Jewish stuff maybe boring as shit,

920
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:23.360
that's fun. And the song is ain' kell o heew

921
00:50:23.719 --> 00:50:27.800
so you said something like it was the a new thing.

922
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:33.000
Sorry, ain't hello mummy? Yeah yeah, so so.

923
00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:36.920
