00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.359
That's what my notebooks, all my notebooks in school look

26
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.799
like that. Just band logos we used to have peachy folders.

27
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.959
They were these orange folders that had like sports stuff

28
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.920
on it, and you would just draw all the band

29
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.519
logos everywhere on them in class while you were supposed

30
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:50.159
to be doing work.

31
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:51.480
Yeah, exactly.

32
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.719
And Slayer at this at the point I started this,

33
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.000
they didn't even have a patch yet. So I got

34
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.760
these velvet letters and I was in l A and

35
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.200
they were and people thought it was a gang banger

36
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.480
and that was my gang name, Slayer.

37
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.000
Not a not a bad gang banger name to have,

38
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:10.520
I know.

39
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.280

So what do you guys do that you got sent

45
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:32.560
to prison?

46
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:38.319
Well, we we we heard a lot of talk on Facebook.

47
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:40.840
We're like, we wonder what this group is and then

48
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.960
I don't know, there's a lot of campsite stories that

49
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.960
we heard about. I joke, I joke with the guys,

50
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.159
I'm like, during our set, I'm gonna say something to

51
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.039
reference that, because I feel like there's a lot of

52
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:53.759
people that need to.

53
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:54.520
Go to Horny Jail.

54
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.960
There's a lot of people out there just looking to

55
00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:58.759
have a good time.

56
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.599
Where where's horn Jil. I want to know where that is.

57
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:03.199
We're gonna find out.

58
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.080
I think they're gonna reopen this place and uh put

59
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.080
some of these people away.

60
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.680
Well, they already have some of the old inmates in there,

61
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.719
but you might not want to run into them.

62
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.599
Yeah, I've heard it. I heard it's haunted.

63
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.280
It is definitely haunted, Railing whiling revis of you know,

66
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.680
and he came out and had scratched his eyes body

67
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.879

00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.560
Yeah, it's good. It is fucking cool.

00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:14.560
Like I keep telling people, like my daughter shows us,

81
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:19.240
are you excited about this festival coming up? And I'm like, well,

82
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.399
when you do it every weekend, is it exciting?

83
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:21.560
No?

84
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.319
I love it. It's great.

85
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.720
I don't know if exciting is the right word. First

86
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.000
time I came here, I called her. I'm like, I'm

87
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.680
calling you from the prison yard of Short Shank.

88
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.439
Now I'm excited.

89
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.600
Yeah, how cool is it to fucking half short Shank

90
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:38.439
as the backdrop of your set?

91
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:40.079
No, it's sick.

92
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.480
Trevor actually just told us a couple of days ago

93
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:44.240
that he watched Shawshank for the first time.

94
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.199
That's wild. I know I'm a little behind, but it's

95
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:48.560
all right.

96
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:49.240
We got there.

97
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.360
Don't feel bad. There's a media person here, okay.

98
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:54.480
Yeah.

99
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.759
They were gonna go on me on the tour and

100
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.480
we asked them, do you know about shaw Shank the movie? No,

101
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.600
never saw it, And I said to him, well, you

102
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.439
better after the festival tonight go and watch it, because

103
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.279
you can't go on the tour without watching the movie,

104
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.000
Like you wouldn't even know what's going on.

105
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.839
You're right, right, You're right. You know.

106
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.600
And and did you know too that there's inmates next

107
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.639
door out in the yard, Like you guys are like

108
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.399
Johnny Cash performing for the inmates.

109
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:27.600
We uh so.

110
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.639
Actually, a few people I had told them that we're

111
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.040
playing at INC and I was like, yeah, it's a

112
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.879
reformatory and they're like, oh, you're playing in the prison.

113
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.519
I was like no, I mean like out in the yard.

114
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.279
But they thought it was like a similar situation.

115
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.759
I'm like, man, I wish that'd be that'd be pretty cool.

116
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:42.959
How fucking cool would that?

117
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:43.279
Yeah?

118
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:44.959
What would be Eve the Core if you did it

119
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.680
down in the basement where all the ghosts are and

120
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:49.800
they're your audience.

121
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.120
That actually sounds like some of our first few shows. No,

122
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:54.839
I'm just kidding.

123
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:57.879
You could have like a ghost circle pit.

124
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.879
Yeah, dude, do it start a spiral.

125
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:07.720
Fuck the holograms. Let's do ghosts instead, Like, listen, don't

126
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.959
do a Ry James Dio hologram. Just bring his ghosts.

127
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.279
Get some kind of medium and bring his ghost to

128
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:13.800
do the show.

129
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.800
Please. Do we need some holy divers out here?

130
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:21.480
I know, right, he is on point, right.

131
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:22.879
I'm trying. I'm trying.

132
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.360
So well, you guys, how are you going to top this.

133
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.480
Oh yeah, I don't think. Yeah, I don't think there

134
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.240
is topping this. I feel like we just have to

135
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.079
keep doing as many Danny Wimmer shows as we can.

136
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.199
Fingers crossed, how many have you done already?

137
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.040
We played Louder than Life last year, as I talked

138
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.079
to you then, Yeah, and this is our this is

139
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.079
our second Danny Wimmer and we're looking forward to hopefully more.

140
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.680
Okay, so let's compare which do you like better?

141
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.319
I don't know, man, they're both pretty cool.

142
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.240
Like Louder was sprawling, it was huge, all right, I'll

143
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:04.879
I'll let the rest of the guys answer.

144
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:06.560
So, I mean, I kind.

145
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.879
Of dig this one just because the whole backdrop, but

146
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:13.360
the prison is, uh, it's different, it's unique. I like,

147
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.839
I don't know, I'm kind of different, Like I like

148
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:20.360
having fewer stages and then I don't know, everything just

149
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.800
feels more close knit and everything, and I don't know,

150
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:23.399
it's pretty cool.

151
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.199
So I like both. Yeah, I'm not to go with

152
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:27.639
this one.

153
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:32.079
The camaraderie here, everybody's just real tight in here, and

154
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.920
everything's closer together, so it just brings everybody naturally together.

155
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:37.959
This has been crazy.

156
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:42.199
Nice and I feel like, I didn't realize this until

157
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.800
so I came here last year just as a spectator.

158
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.759
Guess what we're getting? How spit code red?

159
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:55.600
Fucking every festival I do, it's code red. Three out

160
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:00.040
of four days at Rockdale Rock Belt code red. So

161
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.720
now real quick, tell them everything else you need people

162
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:04.000
to know.

163
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:05.759
All right, we're enemy E N M Y.

164
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.959
You can find us on all social media and streaming platforms.

165
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:10.959
We've got a new album coming out. It's our third

166
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.319
full length, stay Tuned. We've got a lot of cool

167
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:14.959
stuff in store.

168
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:16.519
You guys fucking rock.

169
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.920
I'm so glad you're here at incarceration and thanks a

170
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.600
lot for blowing my fucking interview by bringing the storms here.

171
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:25.560
It it's mountain dew time, Cobred.

172
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:32.799
Thank you for listening to the adventures of Pipelin. I'm

173
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.960
