00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:13.220
Hey, you're listening to The Adventure on W4CY Radio.

2
00:00:19.390 --> 00:00:21.989
This is Pipe Man here on The Adventure's Pipe Man

3
00:00:22.170 --> 00:00:24.250
W4CY Radio, and I'm here with.

4
00:00:24.870 --> 00:00:26.390
Anthony from the band Resolve.

5
00:00:26.690 --> 00:00:28.649
Nice, you're at Louder Than Life.

6
00:00:28.870 --> 00:00:32.530
Yeah, first festival appearance for us in North America, so.

7
00:00:33.090 --> 00:00:34.450
What do you think so far?

8
00:00:34.490 --> 00:00:37.170
You probably haven't seen much, but what do you think

9
00:00:37.210 --> 00:00:39.979
so far and how have you been treated compared to

10
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.500
doing it in France or anywhere in Europe?

11
00:00:43.939 --> 00:00:46.820
We just arrived. What I can say is it looks

12
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.579
very nice. And the way we are treated is, yeah,

13
00:00:50.659 --> 00:00:52.420
for now it's perfect. I have nothing to say bad

14
00:00:52.899 --> 00:00:56.780
about the festival, obviously. Right. So yeah, just can't wait

15
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.640
to play. And I can't wait to see more of

16
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.320
the festival after this interview.

17
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.599
Yeah, and you know what's cool is that Danny Wimmer

18
00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:09.689
has gone over to Hellfest for a few years checking

19
00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:13.890
out how you guys do things over in Europe, to

20
00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:16.159
kind of model after that here.

21
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.700
So we're using Hellfest sometimes as a model.

22
00:01:20.219 --> 00:01:23.140
I understand, and it means a lot to us as

23
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.189
a French band, so thank you. But yeah, I understand

24
00:01:26.209 --> 00:01:28.349
Hellfest is one of the best festivals we ever did.

25
00:01:30.430 --> 00:01:34.109
It's the same as here, I feel. Everything is perfect

26
00:01:34.170 --> 00:01:39.299
at Hellfest. Catering is amazing. The gear is amazing. Everyone

27
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:41.739
is super nice to us. So if you are from

28
00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:44.120
America and you want to try something new in France,

29
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:45.659
you should go to Hellfest.

30
00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:49.780
And I agree. And it's true what you said about

31
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.739
it's the same. Because, you know, when I first went

32
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.689
to Hellfest first time... I do it every year now.

33
00:01:56.129 --> 00:01:58.810
Do you remember? Oh, you went last summer?

34
00:01:59.349 --> 00:02:01.670
This summer I didn't go because I had a Father's

35
00:02:01.689 --> 00:02:02.810
Day thing with my kid.

36
00:02:03.170 --> 00:02:04.099
But every other year.

37
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.480
And the first time I went was after COVID with

38
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:11.919
the two weekends. And I couldn't believe it that I'm

39
00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:15.810
talking to bands and I found out like 360 bands.

40
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.050
Nobody started late. That's like unheard of at a festival.

41
00:02:20.590 --> 00:02:25.789
And everybody said, oh, Sound check loading was so simple.

42
00:02:25.849 --> 00:02:29.099
They sound checked us in five minutes and it was perfect.

43
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.219
That doesn't happen at festivals. It happens at Wimmer festivals.

44
00:02:33.659 --> 00:02:38.889
That's the point. But other festivals, it makes it easier

45
00:02:38.969 --> 00:02:41.340
on you as the artist. If you can just show up.

46
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.620
And things are taken care of. There's no stress. And

47
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.139
then you can just get on stage and have fun

48
00:02:47.180 --> 00:02:47.439
with us.

49
00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:51.280
I agree. I think now it's kind of a big company.

50
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.400
So they are working on the festival during the whole year.

51
00:02:53.419 --> 00:02:56.560
If I'm not, I think I'm right. Yes. And so

52
00:02:56.620 --> 00:02:59.460
they are used to it. And I think this year

53
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.210
was the 20th anniversary or something like that. So I'm

54
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.430
pretty sure we did it this year. It was as

55
00:03:06.469 --> 00:03:08.870
perfect as always. So, yeah.

56
00:03:09.810 --> 00:03:10.449
I tell you what.

57
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.039
One of the best experiences I ever had was when

58
00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:19.969
I was at the set for Gojira at Hellfest. I've

59
00:03:20.009 --> 00:03:22.930
seen them at the Wimmer festivals a lot. but to

60
00:03:23.009 --> 00:03:25.710
see them in their home country... Yeah, it's different. Oh

61
00:03:25.750 --> 00:03:27.370
my god, it was insane!

62
00:03:28.229 --> 00:03:32.280
Now they are... They've always been huge in France, but

63
00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:37.180
now it's even bigger because they did the Olympics. And

64
00:03:37.219 --> 00:03:40.759
now everyone knows about Gojira. Super excited to play the

65
00:03:40.780 --> 00:03:42.569
same day as them. I'm not sure we're going to

66
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.110
be able to see them because we have to drive

67
00:03:44.169 --> 00:03:46.129
a lot for the next... because we are on tour

68
00:03:46.150 --> 00:03:47.770
with ERA at the moment, so we have to drive

69
00:03:47.810 --> 00:03:50.189
to the next show. But if we have just the

70
00:03:50.229 --> 00:03:53.770
time to see a few songs, I'd be very, very

71
00:03:53.810 --> 00:03:55.629
happy about it. And if we can say hi to

72
00:03:55.650 --> 00:03:57.569
them as well, because I think we are. There's only

73
00:03:57.629 --> 00:04:00.629
two French bands on the festival today, and the bass

74
00:04:00.669 --> 00:04:02.740
player is living in the same city as me, and

75
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.139
it's a very small city. Wow. So if I just

76
00:04:05.180 --> 00:04:06.960
can say hi to them, I'll be happy.

77
00:04:06.979 --> 00:04:09.340
I'm sure you'll run into them back there somewhere.

78
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:09.639
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

79
00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:13.659
You know, and it's pretty wild, because at first I

80
00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:17.800
was looking up to see, because you're both French bands,

81
00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:20.720
I'm like, oh, I wonder if they're on tour with Gojira.

82
00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:24.920
But I knew you were on tour with Error, but that.

83
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.389
Would be cool if you were here because you guys

84
00:04:30.410 --> 00:04:31.250
were on tour together.

85
00:04:31.290 --> 00:04:32.930
Maybe all three of you being on tour.

86
00:04:33.029 --> 00:04:37.399
I think it's a goal for every French metal band.

87
00:04:37.699 --> 00:04:38.019
Right.

88
00:04:38.540 --> 00:04:43.360
And to be honest, I'm... I'm not sure they would

89
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.920
love our music. I'm not sure they would hate it,

90
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.439
but it's not the same thing. Even if we have

91
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.360
a lot of influence from Gojira, they are way bigger,

92
00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:56.600
way much bigger than us, so I'm not sure we

93
00:04:56.620 --> 00:04:58.720
will have a tour with them, but I would love to.

94
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.959
But the good news is, I think that Olympics performance

95
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:09.870
helped all French bands. I think it's just like, gave

96
00:05:09.930 --> 00:05:13.009
a message to the world to check out French music.

97
00:05:13.069 --> 00:05:16.170
I agree. The French scene at the moment is bigger

98
00:05:16.209 --> 00:05:20.689
than ever, I think. And maybe it's part of the thing.

99
00:05:20.790 --> 00:05:25.160
Maybe Olympics helped a lot. And after COVID, a lot

100
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.600
of things happened for the French scene. We also have

101
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.319
a band called Landmarks. They are blowing up at the moment,

102
00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:34.420
like crazy. Yeah, I know. So between Gojira and Landmarks,

103
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.019
I think they are the, sorry, I don't have the

104
00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:41.480
right word, but how can I say? They are the

105
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.920
trophy in France. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And all the bands

106
00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:48.160
under are growing also because of that. So, yeah, thanks

107
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.420
to Gojira, thanks to Landmarks, and thanks to the entire

108
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.620
world for checking the French scene at the moment.

109
00:05:54.980 --> 00:05:58.889
Yeah, I mean, because it is cool, because somebody like me,

110
00:05:59.009 --> 00:06:02.930
who's from America, you know, I've been to France before

111
00:06:03.449 --> 00:06:06.509
going to Hellfest, but until I went to Hellfest, I

112
00:06:06.529 --> 00:06:11.389
didn't really realize how big a scene metal was in France.

113
00:06:11.529 --> 00:06:13.670
Like, you really have to experience it.

114
00:06:14.050 --> 00:06:19.019
We... We're trying to make things change now. We're doing

115
00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:23.379
a headline tour in January in France, Resolve. And our

116
00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:26.000
direct support is Silent Planet from the US. You know

117
00:06:26.019 --> 00:06:26.290
the band?

118
00:06:26.379 --> 00:06:26.990
Yes, I do.

119
00:06:27.550 --> 00:06:31.529
We toured with them in Australia. We became friends. And

120
00:06:31.629 --> 00:06:35.250
most of the time... A US band won't say yes

121
00:06:35.670 --> 00:06:39.439
for 10 shows in France. I mean, they're coming for

122
00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:42.620
a Paris or a Lyon show and that's it. But

123
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.959
this time we're doing 10 shows together and I feel

124
00:06:44.980 --> 00:06:48.170
like it's a real chance for us to show a

125
00:06:48.769 --> 00:06:52.740
US band that France can be something else than just

126
00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:55.100
Paris and Lyon, you know what I mean? So maybe

127
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.399
in the next years, more US bands will just come

128
00:06:58.459 --> 00:07:01.839
and do a whole tour in France because we have

129
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.290
so many beautiful cities and so many strong cities for

130
00:07:05.329 --> 00:07:07.550
the metal scene, the rock music, yeah.

131
00:07:08.069 --> 00:07:11.910
How would you describe the French metal scene to people

132
00:07:12.110 --> 00:07:14.430
around the world that would make them go, oh, I

133
00:07:14.449 --> 00:07:15.449
need to check this out?

134
00:07:17.329 --> 00:07:21.730
I feel like we have the same momentum as... Australia

135
00:07:21.790 --> 00:07:24.410
had a few years ago where all good bands are

136
00:07:24.449 --> 00:07:27.720
coming from Australia. Sometimes it's only for 10 years, it's

137
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.079
only US bands. Then there's a lot of new bands

138
00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:35.519
coming from Australia. I feel like we are into it now.

139
00:07:35.579 --> 00:07:38.339
There are so many good bands coming from France. How

140
00:07:38.379 --> 00:07:42.149
can I describe? I don't feel like we are different

141
00:07:42.189 --> 00:07:48.029
than other countries. We just know how to write good music, hopefully.

142
00:07:49.250 --> 00:07:53.279
And yeah, yeah. How to describe it? It's fucking amazing.

143
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.600
You should check it out. Check every band that you

144
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:56.740
can coming from France.

145
00:07:57.060 --> 00:07:58.160
Especially Resolve.

146
00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:01.459
Especially Resolve, yeah. Resolve first, and then... No, I'm just kidding.

147
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:01.899
Exactly.

148
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.980
And I really love that you already have a tattoo

149
00:08:07.259 --> 00:08:08.439
of your newest album.

150
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:14.629
Oh, yeah. I did it a year ago, I think.

151
00:08:15.329 --> 00:08:17.689
And I wasn't even sure the album was going to

152
00:08:17.709 --> 00:08:22.430
be called like that But lucky me, we chose this name,

153
00:08:22.670 --> 00:08:26.029
this title. But yeah, even if it wasn't the name

154
00:08:26.069 --> 00:08:27.980
of the album, it means something to me. So I

155
00:08:28.379 --> 00:08:30.149
really like it. And I like the fact you've seen it.

156
00:08:30.259 --> 00:08:30.579
Thank you.

157
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:30.899
Right?

158
00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:31.339
Thank you.

159
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.940
And so let's tell everybody about the new album.

160
00:08:35.019 --> 00:08:38.320
Since now that you said that, how now this tattoo

161
00:08:38.460 --> 00:08:41.470
translated into the album? Because it wasn't the other way

162
00:08:41.490 --> 00:08:42.889
around based on what you said.

163
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.379
We started the record like two years ago. I had

164
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.139
this idea for the title. I showed it to the guys,

165
00:08:50.179 --> 00:08:52.389
but I wasn't sure they were going to be, oh,

166
00:08:52.629 --> 00:08:54.909
this is sick. We should call the album that way.

167
00:08:55.610 --> 00:08:58.990
But the idea was already in me. So I wanted

168
00:08:59.029 --> 00:09:04.559
to tattoo it, to have it as a tattoo. And yeah,

169
00:09:04.580 --> 00:09:08.220
the album is coming out January 15th. So the beginning

170
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.700
of 27. Very excited about it. We already have a

171
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.419
single out. We're playing it today.

172
00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:13.539
Nice song.

173
00:09:14.309 --> 00:09:19.990
And I feel like we never had as many good

174
00:09:20.009 --> 00:09:23.159
feedbacks about the song especially in the United States since

175
00:09:23.179 --> 00:09:26.320
we started this tour with ERA every single night a

176
00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:28.460
lot of people are coming to me at the merch

177
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.659
table to talk about the single to talk about the

178
00:09:31.700 --> 00:09:36.230
record so it feels good and I can't wait for

179
00:09:36.269 --> 00:09:38.950
the the whole record to be out because Yeah, it

180
00:09:39.190 --> 00:09:41.309
feels really good to be at the other side of

181
00:09:41.350 --> 00:09:44.730
the world for us and speak with people and they're like,

182
00:09:44.929 --> 00:09:47.399
I really like the new single, I'm so excited for

183
00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:50.200
the new album. When we started the band, we never

184
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:55.509
expected to do as many things as we did, especially

185
00:09:56.110 --> 00:09:58.889
being here today, playing a festival in the United States

186
00:09:58.970 --> 00:10:01.820
and a big one. yeah it's something so I'm very

187
00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:05.019
grateful about it and I hope it will continue that way.

188
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.590
Does it kind of blow your mind that you could

189
00:10:07.629 --> 00:10:10.049
come across the other side of the world and people

190
00:10:10.269 --> 00:10:11.049
know this stuff?

191
00:10:14.070 --> 00:10:15.809
I'm getting used to it now because it's the third

192
00:10:15.870 --> 00:10:17.750
time we're coming to the U.S. in one year, so

193
00:10:17.789 --> 00:10:20.309
we spent like four months in the U.S. in one year.

194
00:10:21.190 --> 00:10:23.710
But yeah, when I'm just alone in my bed and

195
00:10:23.750 --> 00:10:27.960
I'm thinking about it, I'm like, that's crazy because now

196
00:10:28.059 --> 00:10:33.559
we're still a young band, a small band. But everywhere

197
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.879
we go, there's people listening to the music, people with

198
00:10:35.899 --> 00:10:40.960
the T-shirts, people singing the lyrics. And we don't take

199
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.240
that for granted because that's crazy. I started in my bedroom,

200
00:10:44.299 --> 00:10:45.700
so now I'm here with you.

201
00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:46.419
I know, right?

202
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.000
We're going to play a show at Louder Than Life.

203
00:10:48.580 --> 00:10:52.970
That's all I always expected. There you go.

204
00:10:53.730 --> 00:10:58.669
And tell us the significance of Spread My Ashes Into Space.

205
00:10:59.529 --> 00:11:00.190
Say it again, sorry.

206
00:11:00.330 --> 00:11:04.129
Tell me the significance of Spread My Ashes Into Space.

207
00:11:04.169 --> 00:11:07.230
Well... We all have a different view of it. Mine

208
00:11:07.289 --> 00:11:11.110
is very pessimistic, and I'm sorry about that, but it's just...

209
00:11:12.629 --> 00:11:16.649
Especially after COVID, I'd say, and in my 20s, now

210
00:11:16.690 --> 00:11:19.950
I'm starting my 30s, but I feel a bit tired

211
00:11:20.250 --> 00:11:22.850
of the world we live in for a.

212
00:11:22.830 --> 00:11:23.529
Lot of reasons.

213
00:11:23.590 --> 00:11:25.929
I'm not going to speak about, talk about politics, or

214
00:11:26.250 --> 00:11:28.929
I feel like it's obvious, but for a lot of reasons,

215
00:11:29.289 --> 00:11:33.629
even in the music industry, the fact that appearance... is

216
00:11:33.769 --> 00:11:37.210
more important than art. I remember when I was a kid,

217
00:11:37.409 --> 00:11:40.769
I was just going into, how can I say, like

218
00:11:40.809 --> 00:11:43.029
a Walmart for you guys, and I was going to

219
00:11:43.070 --> 00:11:45.889
the CD section and I was listening 30 seconds of

220
00:11:46.269 --> 00:11:48.929
each song, because back in the days you had headphones,

221
00:11:48.970 --> 00:11:51.820
you know? And my mom was buying CDs to me,

222
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.679
and I didn't know about the look of the band,

223
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.620
I was just hooked by the music, by the art.

224
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:03.080
And today with social media, it looks like the more

225
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:10.750
content you post, the better. And even if it looks

226
00:12:10.789 --> 00:12:14.600
like shit, the more you pause, the better. And that's

227
00:12:14.629 --> 00:12:16.500
not the way we feel. We just want to... I

228
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.120
just want to write music and enjoy and be proud

229
00:12:21.139 --> 00:12:23.700
of what I did. Be proud of what I did

230
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.539
during the time I was alive. You know what I mean? Yes.

231
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:32.019
And sometimes, dark times, I'm just like... I want to

232
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:34.820
see something else and I want to escape because I'm

233
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:38.750
pretty sure there's something out there and you want to

234
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.470
see something else, something you don't know about at all

235
00:12:41.950 --> 00:12:44.830
and something far from all this shit show sometime, you know?

236
00:12:45.269 --> 00:12:46.690
Oh, I feel you.

237
00:12:46.970 --> 00:12:50.450
Yeah. Like, I hope I, sorry, I'm French. So sometimes

238
00:12:50.490 --> 00:12:52.370
it's hard to find the right words, but I hope

239
00:12:52.389 --> 00:12:52.850
you understand.

240
00:12:52.909 --> 00:12:55.529
It made total sense because I feel the same way. Like,

241
00:12:55.610 --> 00:12:58.960
it's like, Oh, my God. Sometimes I'll disappear into the

242
00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:01.600
jungle of Costa Rica to just get away from all

243
00:13:01.620 --> 00:13:02.580
the people in the world.

244
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:07.480
Like you said, it's not just politics. It's everything.

245
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:15.159
It's too much bullshit already. I have a solution to

246
00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:16.139
the world's problems.

247
00:13:16.870 --> 00:13:17.110
Tell me.

248
00:13:18.210 --> 00:13:19.350
One music festival.

249
00:13:19.690 --> 00:13:20.370
One music festival.

250
00:13:20.450 --> 00:13:25.080
The whole world's required to attend except for the political leaders. Yeah.

251
00:13:25.409 --> 00:13:28.940
They're banned from the festival and just put everybody in

252
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:32.120
one big mosh pit. We'll all work it out and

253
00:13:32.179 --> 00:13:34.659
hug each other at the end and there you go.

254
00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:36.970
Yeah, but I feel like when the festival ends all

255
00:13:36.990 --> 00:13:38.929
the people are going to be together and we're going

256
00:13:38.950 --> 00:13:42.460
to kill all the politics and it's We shouldn't kill anyone,

257
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:45.289
you know? Right. But I like the idea.

258
00:13:45.549 --> 00:13:45.789
Right?

259
00:13:46.330 --> 00:13:47.789
We should just love each other. Yeah.

260
00:13:47.870 --> 00:13:51.789
Like, love our differences. Forget all the bullshit, you know?

261
00:13:51.809 --> 00:13:55.320
It's just, yeah, this title is, it's a dream, you know?

262
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.159
The whole story is just a guy trying his whole

263
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.580
life to build something, to go in space, and the

264
00:14:01.659 --> 00:14:04.059
artwork is a air balloon. Is it the right word?

265
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:05.110
Say it again. Air balloon.

266
00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:10.179
Air balloon. You know the... Hell bound?

267
00:14:10.340 --> 00:14:13.379
No, air balloon. Oh, air bound.

268
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.750
Yeah, you know the... How can I... Oh, fuck.

269
00:14:16.809 --> 00:14:17.529
Like the space.

270
00:14:18.029 --> 00:14:18.529
You got it?

271
00:14:21.330 --> 00:14:24.610
Like on your website, like on the album.

272
00:14:25.429 --> 00:14:27.809
And so obviously you can't go in space with a

273
00:14:28.190 --> 00:14:32.059
hot air balloon. But that's the whole point, trying everything

274
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.259
you can during your whole life to build something so

275
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:37.000
you can be able to go in space, even if

276
00:14:37.100 --> 00:14:39.740
you know you will never be able to go. And

277
00:14:39.779 --> 00:14:43.690
that's the poetry around the record.

278
00:14:44.629 --> 00:14:47.090
I do love the hot air balloon on the record

279
00:14:47.129 --> 00:14:49.750
and stuff. It's like really cool. But now too, I'm

280
00:14:49.789 --> 00:14:51.700
thinking about it would be kind of cool to be

281
00:14:51.740 --> 00:14:53.960
able to take a hot air balloon into space.

282
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.720
Like it would be cool, but I feel, I think

283
00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:57.860
we would die.

284
00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:58.779
It's not possible.

285
00:14:58.899 --> 00:15:01.779
Yeah, no, we would die for sure. But you know what?

286
00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:03.549
We'd have fun doing it.

287
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:03.940
Yeah.

288
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.139
You know, it'd be beautiful. Exactly.

289
00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:08.840
So what else do you want to tell our listeners

290
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:11.559
about that? We haven't touched on yet. That's going on

291
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:12.200
for your band.

292
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:19.220
Uh, Well, America has been very nice to us since

293
00:15:19.250 --> 00:15:22.000
the first tour. So, like I said, we came to

294
00:15:22.019 --> 00:15:24.700
the U.S. three times in one year. It was very

295
00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:27.480
hard to come with the visa thing and stuff like that.

296
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:27.980
Yeah, yeah.

297
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.960
But now we're here. I really, really... It's the same

298
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.500
way as I imagined it. I really like the people.

299
00:15:34.659 --> 00:15:39.789
I really like the landscapes. I'm not mixing politics and people.

300
00:15:39.909 --> 00:15:42.690
Same for our country. I love the American flag, but

301
00:15:42.750 --> 00:15:45.620
not for the... Political stuff just for the culture for

302
00:15:45.659 --> 00:15:48.230
the yeah for the people. I really like this country

303
00:15:48.309 --> 00:15:50.090
so if you have a chance to come see us

304
00:15:50.370 --> 00:15:53.490
with on the era tour come and If not, we'll

305
00:15:53.509 --> 00:15:56.289
see you on another tour Listen to the new record

306
00:15:56.309 --> 00:15:58.250
when it's out and come see us at Loud Over

307
00:15:58.289 --> 00:16:01.769
Life this afternoon. Thanks for having me. Thanks for having us.

308
00:16:02.409 --> 00:16:05.179
And in the name of Resolve, yeah, thank you. Thank you,

309
00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:05.700
United States.

310
00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:09.259
And hopefully Resolve, with your music, can resolve all the

311
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:09.820
world's problems.

312
00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:11.460
Oh, I hope so, yeah. I hope so, yeah.

313
00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:15.659
And don't take Lady Liberty back from us because we're

314
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:16.490
being assholes.

315
00:16:17.690 --> 00:16:19.929
Never. Thank you very much.

316
00:16:19.990 --> 00:16:22.750
