I know, right, yeah, it's awesome.

21
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:08.599
It was like the first time when we played here,

22
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.640
I was okay, I can die happy now.

23
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:12.560
Right exactly.

00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.640
It's funny too because you think of, like, okay, so

how are you top being at the biggest metal festival

26
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.000

28
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.040
You know, you think in your head because once you've

29
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.640
gotten here, you've like you've arrived. Yeah.

30
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.280
Absolutely It's like the cherry on the top of the

31
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.239
ice cream. That is so amazing life playing music and

32
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.159
having fun all the time, you know, right, absolutely great.

33
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.840
Yeah, so now let's go travel back in time to

34
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.439
the very beginning of each one of you entering music,

35
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.680
not even necessarily in this form, but what was that

36
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:56.000
first time in life that you knew music is what

37
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:56.719
you wanted to do.

38
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.519
My parents bought a guitar when it was fourteen years old.

39
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.120
They tried it before when they go to the organ

40
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:05.959
lessons and something.

41
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.760
Like that, and I hated it, so they bought a guitar.

42
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:08.759
When I was fourteen.

43
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.039
I went to the teacher and he teached me to

44
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.439
play poly from Nirvana, my favorite.

45
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.039
Bad back then, and I was like, what the fuck?

46
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.719
I will be the hero and every campfire, so this

47
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:21.479
is amazing.

48
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.879
I can play the songs of my heroes. So this

49
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.680
really catched me and this was the beginning for me.

50
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.479
For me, it was I had the when you're little

51
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.439
child in Germany, you go to a kind of pre

52
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:39.639
education like kindergarten musical wise, and after that I learned

53
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.520
the piano and then I started with the drums, and

54
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.919
this is where I stuck because that's where I got

55
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:51.240
the most talent, and always music touched me on an

56
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.680
emotional basis. So for me it was like, yes, a

57
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.479
music is why I can leave my sorrows, where I

58
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.840
can get pumped up again, where I can get power,

59
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.360
you know, regain power. And yeah, so for me it

60
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:06.719
was like, yeah, I want to do that. I want

61
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.840
to I want to feel the emotion and I want

62
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.199
to share the emotion as well.

63
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:12.719
You know, it's so true.

64
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.759
Music is the best therapy for you the artist and

65
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.439
for me the listener. Like you're getting it out of you,

66
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.719
and then we're taking that and it's using to get.

67
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.560
It out of us.

68
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.520
I always say, like the marsh pit, people don't understand

69
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.560
not go in there to hurt main people. You go

70
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.840
in there so you don't hurt main people in the

71
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:35.800
outside world.

72
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:36.960
They're assholes.

73
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:38.639
Yeah, it's absolutely true.

74
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.599
Yes, right, you know, I know there's there's quite a

75
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.800
few people that did not get their ass kicked because

76
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:44.879
I went to a marsh pit.

77
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.479
I think it's not I think in life in general,

78
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.919
it's all about like energy, Yes, getting energy and releasing energy,

79
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.199
and music is quite for us and for millions of

80
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.560
people it's the perfect way to get energy and get

81
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.360
rid of energy. So playing a show is really like

82
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.479
it's it's hard work, but you get rid.

83
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.800
Of all these like emotions and energy.

84
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.919
You'll just stuck in your body and totally you go

85
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.039
into the most pit and you will leave it like

86
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.480
released from all these.

87
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.600
You leave it in the pit. You leave it in

88
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:19.959
the pit.

89
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:26.279
A couple of years ago, unfortunately, my grandson passed away

90
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.879
and I was doing sorry to yeah thanks, and I

91
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:33.279
was doing coverage at this festival, riot Fest. I left

92
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:37.519
the festival, went and did all the family and funeral stuff,

93
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.399
and that was the year Slayer came back to do

94
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.439
a headlining show, and they're my all time favorite band.

95
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.240
I was at their first show ever in like a

96
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:49.639
thousand others. After that, I went back to the festival

97
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.360
and I went into that Slayer pit, and I took

98
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.120
all five stages of grief and put them in that pit,

99
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.040
and it was healing. You know. It made it so

100
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:07.160
much easier and faster for me, Like things tough for

101
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:11.639
us for anything that happens forever, Yes, but to what

102
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.040
degree and how much it really affects your life?

103
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.120
Yeah, that's absolutely true. I can identify with that because

104
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.399
when I'm on stage, when I play music, or even

105
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.000
if I'm in the crowd and listening to music, sometimes

106
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.680
everyday emotions that I can't get rid of through on

107
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.360
an everyday basis, I can leave that there. I I

108
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.879
can cry, I can laugh, I can have a good time,

109
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.920
I can have a bad time, but after that I'm

110
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.199
all good again. That's yeah, it's really good.

111
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.000
And also we have a quite old song. It's called

112
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:43.519
mood Mater.

113
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.439
It's more like it's about like you bigger than you think,

114
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.560
than you might think, and you're strong and you can

115
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.120
reach everything you want to. And there are so many

116
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.839
stories around that, like people coming to us and telling

117
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.959
their story what they connect with this song. And I

118
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.519
remember a girl we just were shaking hands and the

119
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.879
after a show and she was she was in second row,

120
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:05.920
and then she came to me and well, I don't

121
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.160
want to shake your hand, I don't want to have

122
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:09.319
an autograph or something.

123
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:10.959
I just want to tell you are.

124
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.600
And this song is the reason why I'm still alive

125
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.279
because I was like suicidal and you told me in

126
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.279
that song I shouldn't do that, and so we were thinking,

127
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.000
like it wasn't quite a I was crying afterwards backstage,

128
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.079
because how much more can you achieve with like doing

129
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:26.959
like stupid music.

130
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.319
You save someone's life and this is.

131
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.519
That's beyond Valkin.

132
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:35.560
Yeah, like that's it you have that happened once and

133
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.800
that's enough that you're like, it just confirms why you

134
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:40.600
do what you do.

135
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.759
Maybe this is why you are born saving one other life?

136
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:46.800
Could see? Could be?

137
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:47.360
Could be?

138
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:52.959
That's totally the point. And I'm sure there's others that

139
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.000
you don't even know about, you know, And that's why

140
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.079
I also think with songs.

141
00:06:58.439 --> 00:06:59.920
There's two types of artists.

142
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.319
There's an artist that I have a meaning to a

143
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:04.920
song and they want to make sure you have the

144
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.360
same meaning to it. And then to me, a true

145
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:13.319
artist lets the meaning be whatever it needs to be

146
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.319
for that person. They don't have to have the same reason,

147
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.279
the same meaning as you do, as long as it's

148
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.480
doing it for you and it's doing it for them.

149
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.279
Yeah, this is the point where we come back to energy,

150
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.000
you know, like, if you're a real if you really

151
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.639
truly believe in what you're doing, and we know what our.

152
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.240
Songs are about for us, Yeah, but.

153
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:41.680
Somebody else can can interpret it in another way and

154
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.680
that's just fine. But as long as we put all

155
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.680
our heart and all our energy in that song, either

156
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.120
on a record or on stage, then it's true for us,

157
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.920
and it's true to anyone who's listening, you know.

158
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.439
You know, what I think is pretty funny is that

159
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.480
everybody in the world thinks us metal heads are like tough, mean,

160
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:10.120
evil And there have been multiple artists just here at

161
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:14.639
VAK and then I've interviewed that talked about getting emotional

162
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:21.240
and crying over certain impacts, and that's really what I

163
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:25.759
know about metal heads. We're just big, you know, like

164
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:26.839
Teddy Bears.

165
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:28.199
Yeah.

166
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:32.039
Absolutely, it's like people going around, somebody who's not into

167
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:34.720
the music coming here and looking at all the black

168
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.320
shirts and people and like, oh, they're looking so evil

169
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:40.320
and so mean. And then afterwards everybody is hugging and

170
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.960
dancing and crying and laughing and having a fucking good time.

171
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.159
Nobody gets hurt, nobody gets I don't know, fucked up

172
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.480
in any way. And it's just a big community, and

173
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.480
it's all about emotions, all about feelings, all about the

174
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.799
true feeling behind it, whatever you feel about it, you know.

175
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.200
And the perfect example is I went to get at

176
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:04.759
lunch earlier on the like rare break I had in all.

177
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:09.159
Four days, and they had some like.

178
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.559
Celtic but dowb not even totally Celtic, but a Celtic

179
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:21.440
band playing an evansn song, very mellow, and there was

180
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:25.000
a circle pit and it looked to me like the

181
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.559
most fun circle pit ever because nobody was like it

182
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:33.879
was just like, you know, even less violent than.

183
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:34.600
A scop pit.

184
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:38.600
It was just like they're just playing ring around the rosie.

185
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.639
And I'm like, that's fucking goal as shit. And I

186
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.759
wish the whole world would get that message, you know,

187
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.919
because I have a belief if we put the whole

188
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.120
world except for the political leaders, in a mosh pit,

189
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.559
we could work out all our fucking problems and leave

190
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:01.440
the fucking political leaders out and we all love each

191
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:01.960
other then.

192
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:04.559
And I think in Marshpid is a perfect example for

193
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:08.000
people can be friendly and.

194
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.960
Really like warm to each other, say like they are.

195
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.480
There are people in the moshplit. They're voting for different parties.

196
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.399
They have different opinion opinions about the about the world,

197
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.159
about politics, about love, about whatever, but they share it

198
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.679
in this moment and there are no borders between people.

199
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:24.240
They shouldn't.

200
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.080
It's like communication, and this is a way to communicate

201
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.399
and show I respect you, I can do have fun

202
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:30.919
with you.

203
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:31.240
Yeah.

204
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.720
Also if you have another opinion about some things.

205
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:36.399
Exactly.

206
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.679
It's a place for a community. It's a place for

207
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:40.799
being together totally.

208
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:45.159
And we are one race to human race. We don't

209
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.519
have to all be the same. I don't know why

210
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.600
we're in a world now. Well, I'm only gonna be

211
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:51.879
friends with people that think.

212
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.399
Just like me. Like, that's not how you learn.

213
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.200
You learn from people that don't think like you, you know.

214
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.600
And then the fact the matter is, to your point,

215
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.080
Last night, a bunch of us at the end of

216
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.519
the night while Running Wild was playing, we're hanging out

217
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:12.120
talking and and somebody said something, and somebody else said,

218
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:14.799
we don't talk politics here.

219
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.559
And that's the point. We gotten here to escape.

220
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.720
We come here to get away from all that shit

221
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:26.960
that's fucking pounded into us and that people are obsessed about.

222
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.320
And that's why we can get along because we leave

223
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:31.639
all that shit at the door.

224
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.120
Yes, And that's what we try in our songs most

225
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.039
of the time. We try to leave politics out of it,

226
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.200
and we try to you know, we don't we don't

227
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.080
want to teach people because we don't know the truth. No,

228
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.720
we don't have you know, we have don't have access

229
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.919
to the truth. And my truth is not your truth

230
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:53.519
or his truth, you know. So we try that to

231
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.600
have a good time with the people with ourselves in

232
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.600
the band while playing on stage, why rehearsing, and also

233
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:04.639
you know, like but most of the time we tried

234
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.320
to teach peo, try to teach you just try to

235
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.120
say to people love, just have a good time and

236
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.080
love each other exactly the rest, you know, have a

237
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:15.600
good time forget about the rest.

238
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.879
Perfect example, what you're saying too is I have a

239
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:23.080
brother that if somebody doesn't agree with him, they're uninformed

240
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:27.679
and uneducated, and I always answer him. Or they grew

241
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:31.399
up somewhere different from you, or they had different friends

242
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.879
in you, or they had different education in you, or

243
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.879
they had a different job, or ten million other things

244
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:44.360
that form their belief system. I believe nobody's belief system

245
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.440
is wrong. It just made me wrong for me.

246
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.639
Yeah, this is like telling or try to tell people

247
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:55.480
the truth. I think this is the problem.

248
00:12:55.639 --> 00:13:01.039
So I think like politics and should have also their

249
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.279
room also in heavy metal music, but trying to tell

250
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:06.159
people kind of truth.

251
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:07.639
This is the problem we.

252
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.120
Get like politically, we have political songs too, but they

253
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.840
are more like, Okay, if someone offers like an easy

254
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.600
solution for a big problem, just oh, just be careful

255
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:23.480
with this, yeah, just be open mind, never know, just

256
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:28.000
be skeptical, just be smart, educate yourself, just know what

257
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.559
you're talking about, and then you can make your decisions.

258
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.799
But do that first and perfect example my country is

259
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:38.960
everybody is so polarizing right now, and only their truth

260
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.120
is the truth, and the fact is not fucking one

261
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:46.080
of us really knows the truth. We don't know. I

262
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.120
get these arguments with people all the time. How do

263
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.600
you fucking know? You're not there in the government or

264
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.759
behind the scenes. You don't really know what the truth

265
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.679
is in anything unless you experience it yourself.

266
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:04.879
It's also so funny because we had kind of the

267
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.559
same conversation last night when we were on the other

268
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.559
FESTI where we played yesterday, And it's always like, you know,

269
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:15.039
people living in their bubbles, and everybody in their bubble

270
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.759
has the same truth, you know, but they're not they're

271
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:21.399
not stepping out of it because they are in their

272
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.720
bubble and they're like Okay, here everybody is like minded

273
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.159
and everything's fine, and I can talk like I talk

274
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:31.559
and I get no nobody's contradicting me, you know, yeah,

275
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.519
and so yeah, okay, right, But how can you learn

276
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.960
or how can you convince somebody maybe that your truth

277
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.879
might be his truth or her truth exactly.

278
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:43.399
That's why in debate class in college you learn to

279
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.279
debate both sides, not one. Well, you guys are badass.

280
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:51.360
Your music's badass. I'm so glad you're here falking.

281
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:52.159
Thank you.

282
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.759

on socials. Buy your merch because they can't listen my

284
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:02.000
show unless they buy your merch and anything else like that.
