00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:13.589
Hi, you're listening to Adventure on W4CY Radio.

2
00:00:19.289 --> 00:00:21.370
This is the Pipe Man here on the Adventure's Pipe

3
00:00:21.410 --> 00:00:23.649
Man W4CY Radio, and I'm here with.

4
00:00:23.870 --> 00:00:24.789
She Hates Me Not.

5
00:00:25.449 --> 00:00:29.870
Nice here at Rock, Oklahoma. Oh, my God. Besides it

6
00:00:29.890 --> 00:00:32.740
being hotter than hell here. What did it feel like

7
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:34.619
playing up there on that stage tonight?

8
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:35.759
It felt great.

9
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.399
I think the biggest accomplishment for us was just finishing

10
00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:40.479
it without having a heat stroke.

11
00:00:41.219 --> 00:00:47.259
No doubt, right? And listen, there are like major musicians

12
00:00:47.299 --> 00:00:49.640
that have heat stroke all the time and stuff like this.

13
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.140
It blows my mind how you guys can even play

14
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.000
up there. I'm too hot just standing there.

15
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:56.590
Yeah, it's pretty hot.

16
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.570
So is this your first time playing Rock, Lahoma?

17
00:01:01.609 --> 00:01:02.890
Yes, this is our first time.

18
00:01:03.009 --> 00:01:04.189
So how did it all happen?

19
00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:10.079
That is a great question. I'm going to tell Cade

20
00:01:10.109 --> 00:01:11.000
to answer that question.

21
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:13.120
All right.

22
00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:17.420
That is a very good question. Can you repeat the question?

23
00:01:18.219 --> 00:01:20.700
How did you get to Rock, Oklahoma? How did this

24
00:01:20.819 --> 00:01:24.159
all happen? Not how you drove here, but how did

25
00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:24.760
this all happen?

26
00:01:24.939 --> 00:01:27.079
Well, we've been trying to play it for a while.

27
00:01:27.579 --> 00:01:29.379
Our manager, we call him the horse.

28
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:30.640
He's a cool dude.

29
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.969
He's in charge of booking us and doing all the

30
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.689
management side of things. So as far as getting us

31
00:01:38.750 --> 00:01:42.090
a show here, yeah, just reached out and went back

32
00:01:42.109 --> 00:01:43.450
and forth and then made it work.

33
00:01:43.469 --> 00:01:45.890
Did it kind of blow your mind when you got

34
00:01:45.909 --> 00:01:47.340
the news that you were playing it?

35
00:01:47.650 --> 00:01:50.170
Yeah, we were definitely super excited, yeah.

36
00:01:51.010 --> 00:01:53.930
So what was going through your mind before even coming

37
00:01:53.950 --> 00:01:57.069
to Rock, Oklahoma of what this was going to be like?

38
00:01:58.390 --> 00:01:59.909
You can say whatever the fuck you want.

39
00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:03.579
Don't fuck up. That's what I was thinking the whole time.

40
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.319
I know we were all thinking this is big for us.

41
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.490
We need to dial in everything and make sure we

42
00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:14.870
deliver our best because lots of new faces, lots of people.

43
00:02:15.469 --> 00:02:17.729
Just a big moment for us. Nice.

44
00:02:19.370 --> 00:02:21.509
I think my thought was the show is just like

45
00:02:21.569 --> 00:02:23.389
any other show. It's like the last one we play

46
00:02:23.409 --> 00:02:26.520
and it's like the next one. It's just like the

47
00:02:26.539 --> 00:02:29.099
same approach for me. Just had a coffee at midday

48
00:02:29.139 --> 00:02:30.430
and You called it good.

49
00:02:30.449 --> 00:02:33.550
Yeah, I mean, I would agree.

50
00:02:35.370 --> 00:02:38.030
Firm believer of you're only as good as your last performance.

51
00:02:38.409 --> 00:02:43.090
So I just wanted to come out strong, all the energy.

52
00:02:43.780 --> 00:02:45.699
I mean, I wanted to start the festival off strong,

53
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:46.759
be the first band.

54
00:02:47.419 --> 00:02:50.340
Nice. And I'll tell you what, too. I was really

55
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.039
shocked because I'm from New York and New Jersey, and

56
00:02:53.099 --> 00:02:55.099
I came all the way to Oklahoma to see somebody

57
00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:00.289
dressed up like a Yankee. I didn't imagine that in Oklahoma.

58
00:03:02.590 --> 00:03:06.949
So what was the concert you guys went to that

59
00:03:07.509 --> 00:03:11.090
you just went like, this is what I want to do?

60
00:03:11.110 --> 00:03:14.030
My first concert was the Foo Fighters at the Zoo

61
00:03:14.069 --> 00:03:15.090
Amphitheater in OKC.

62
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.699
And Radke opened for them. They're a cool band.

63
00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:19.539
They are cool.

64
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:24.280
And I don't know. Something about it. I saw them.

65
00:03:24.580 --> 00:03:26.699
And then shortly after, I saw Alanis Morissette live.

66
00:03:27.699 --> 00:03:27.819
And.

67
00:03:28.460 --> 00:03:29.819
I know it's not like anything what.

68
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.000
We play, but the feeling you get of being at

69
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.479
a concert is like, man, if I can make people

70
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.479
feel the way I felt at those concerts, then that's

71
00:03:38.539 --> 00:03:39.580
one hell of a feat for me.

72
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.250
And that's the thing. It doesn't matter. Live music is

73
00:03:42.310 --> 00:03:45.569
live music. So there is a feeling, even if it's

74
00:03:45.629 --> 00:03:46.509
not your genre.

75
00:03:47.710 --> 00:03:51.409
You know, for me, honestly, I've probably played more concerts

76
00:03:51.430 --> 00:03:54.069
than I've been to. But the show for me that

77
00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:58.159
really turned my head, it was Malevolence. They came to

78
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.780
Tulsa probably three years ago, and it was like, dang,

79
00:04:02.819 --> 00:04:05.900
they actually were heavy. So that was my thing, was like,

80
00:04:06.909 --> 00:04:09.669
can I show up and be heavy and bring energy,

81
00:04:10.210 --> 00:04:10.949
just like they did.

82
00:04:11.030 --> 00:04:12.789
So that was the changer for me.

83
00:04:13.229 --> 00:04:15.129
They are one of my favorite bands, for sure.

84
00:04:16.050 --> 00:04:18.250
For me, it was actually here a couple years ago

85
00:04:18.269 --> 00:04:21.089
when Code Orange came to play, and they just brought

86
00:04:21.129 --> 00:04:23.279
the craziest energy of the night, and they were just

87
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.790
so lit and awesome. For me, that was the performance

88
00:04:27.810 --> 00:04:31.370
that spiked that passion to want to be up there

89
00:04:31.410 --> 00:04:31.970
someday too.

90
00:04:32.569 --> 00:04:32.850
Nice.

91
00:04:33.110 --> 00:04:33.949
Bring that same energy.

92
00:04:35.709 --> 00:04:37.990
I wish I had a cool story like that. When

93
00:04:38.029 --> 00:04:40.850
I was a kid, starting out in music, I went

94
00:04:40.870 --> 00:04:44.930
through a DJ phase. Shout out Marshmello and Skrillex. That's

95
00:04:44.949 --> 00:04:45.810
why I want to perform.

96
00:04:46.790 --> 00:04:50.790
You know what's funny about that? As somebody that's gone

97
00:04:50.870 --> 00:04:56.050
to thousands of shows, at first, I never really got

98
00:04:56.089 --> 00:04:59.189
the DJ concert thing, like go to a club, yes.

99
00:04:59.829 --> 00:05:03.889
But then I did a festival where it had Skrillex

100
00:05:04.189 --> 00:05:09.019
and Bass Nectar. And I was like, oh, I get

101
00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:09.480
it now.

102
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:10.220
Yeah.

103
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.319
The catch is I've never actually seen either one of

104
00:05:13.339 --> 00:05:15.600
them live. I would just watch YouTube videos and I'm like, oh,

105
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.379
that's sick. I could never figure out like actual DJing though.

106
00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:21.259
So I kind of gave that up and picked up sticks.

107
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.959
Well, you did pretty good at the stick, so maybe

108
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:24.660
it was a good move.

109
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:26.560
Yeah, shout out Skrillex. I think we're all pretty big

110
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:27.319
fans of Skrillex.

111
00:05:27.779 --> 00:05:29.220
Alan Walker, too.

112
00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:29.759
Oh, yeah.

113
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.379
So, Slayer.

114
00:05:33.490 --> 00:05:33.910
Oh, yeah?

115
00:05:34.569 --> 00:05:35.990
I see Slayer socks.

116
00:05:36.449 --> 00:05:37.189
I got those for him.

117
00:05:37.790 --> 00:05:41.649
And we have Slayer here at Rock, Oklahoma. First time ever.

118
00:05:41.730 --> 00:05:43.009
Dude, you fuck yeah.

119
00:05:44.110 --> 00:05:45.709
I was at their first show ever.

120
00:05:46.170 --> 00:05:46.379
What?

121
00:05:46.949 --> 00:05:47.959
Are you for real?

122
00:05:48.259 --> 00:05:48.620
For real.

123
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:48.899
How?

124
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.009
Like, where was it? It was in L.A.

125
00:05:51.329 --> 00:05:51.490
Wow.

126
00:05:51.509 --> 00:05:55.829
Where they started. What club? I think it was the Troubadour.

127
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:56.389
I don't remember.

128
00:05:56.420 --> 00:05:57.540
Oh, dude, the Troubadour kicks ass.

129
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:57.829
Yeah.

130
00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:58.629
That's a rad venue.

131
00:05:58.860 --> 00:06:01.259
I used to go there when I was like 12

132
00:06:01.259 --> 00:06:02.360
and 13.

133
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:02.759
Oh, yeah.

134
00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:06.660
So I'm looking forward to Slayer. Are you guys going

135
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.160
to be here for Slayer? Absolutely.

136
00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:09.220
Yes.

137
00:06:09.259 --> 00:06:11.899
They're the only one of the big four I haven't seen. Really?

138
00:06:12.379 --> 00:06:12.579
Yeah.

139
00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:14.790
I've tried to see them twice, had tickets and everything, and,

140
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.730
you know. Some bullshit happens. It rains or they cancel

141
00:06:19.850 --> 00:06:22.170
or whatever, so I'm very excited to see them.

142
00:06:23.790 --> 00:06:24.750
He wants to say something.

143
00:06:25.050 --> 00:06:27.350
Yeah, so all of us went to Louder Than Life

144
00:06:27.689 --> 00:06:28.850
when Slayer was supposed to play.

145
00:06:29.629 --> 00:06:32.110
I was there in the parking lot waiting to the

146
00:06:32.170 --> 00:06:33.750
last minute to get back in.

147
00:06:33.769 --> 00:06:37.250
Yeah, and it started raining, and we were mad because

148
00:06:37.269 --> 00:06:39.529
that was the only day we went for. So we

149
00:06:39.589 --> 00:06:42.000
drove all the way there, got rained out, we didn't

150
00:06:42.009 --> 00:06:43.980
see Slayer, then we had to drive all the way back.

151
00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:47.459
And see, now they're here... At Rock, Lahoma.

152
00:06:48.060 --> 00:06:48.560
I'm pumped.

153
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:52.759
I've never been to try to see Slayer, but I'm

154
00:06:52.819 --> 00:06:55.470
here now. I'm so excited because I think they're one

155
00:06:55.490 --> 00:06:58.050
of the sickest bands to ever come out. Given the

156
00:06:58.069 --> 00:07:00.490
time they came out and what was around when they

157
00:07:00.529 --> 00:07:02.029
came out, they're just one of the sickest.

158
00:07:03.290 --> 00:07:03.670
I agree.

159
00:07:03.689 --> 00:07:06.509
They're definitely a huge inspiration. They have some of the

160
00:07:07.470 --> 00:07:10.740
most badass riffs of any band. Pretty much every opening

161
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.100
riff to any one of their songs is just this shit.

162
00:07:14.579 --> 00:07:17.680
Dude, I remember sixth grade, I would just be playing

163
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:21.250
Raining Blood on repeat every day in class. It's like

164
00:07:21.290 --> 00:07:22.129
core memory for me.

165
00:07:22.810 --> 00:07:23.149
Nice.

166
00:07:24.129 --> 00:07:27.050
Jet actually introduced me to Slayer whenever I joined the band.

167
00:07:27.069 --> 00:07:31.730
He didn't know who Bardo was. Yeah, I didn't really

168
00:07:31.769 --> 00:07:32.310
listen to metal before.

169
00:07:32.350 --> 00:07:35.389
How do you not know? See, you're just like Tom, though.

170
00:07:35.829 --> 00:07:38.689
When Tom joined Slayer, he didn't even know what heavy

171
00:07:38.730 --> 00:07:39.269
metal was.

172
00:07:40.550 --> 00:07:43.680
Yeah, he told me which Metallica albums to listen to.

173
00:07:44.779 --> 00:07:46.240
I was at their first show ever, too.

174
00:07:46.579 --> 00:07:46.800
What?

175
00:07:46.899 --> 00:07:49.100
Stop it. That's insane.

176
00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:53.920
For real. Here's my battle vest from the 80s. You

177
00:07:53.939 --> 00:07:56.350
can take a look at it. Hell yeah.

178
00:07:56.490 --> 00:07:56.810
What?

179
00:07:58.350 --> 00:08:02.310
Now you describe that on the air. Now, Slayer didn't

180
00:08:02.350 --> 00:08:04.589
even have a patch at that time, so I just

181
00:08:04.629 --> 00:08:07.790
did that. GBH kicks ass. I drew all those drawings.

182
00:08:07.910 --> 00:08:09.269
You got the old Exodus logo.

183
00:08:09.329 --> 00:08:11.810
Look at how you knew that. I'm impressed.

184
00:08:12.329 --> 00:08:17.360
Dude, that's rad. Was that when Kirk was.

185
00:08:17.300 --> 00:08:18.819
Still in the band?

186
00:08:18.930 --> 00:08:19.620
That logo?

187
00:08:19.689 --> 00:08:20.019
Yeah.

188
00:08:20.790 --> 00:08:21.990
Did you see him with Kirk ever?

189
00:08:22.089 --> 00:08:25.470
No. But I did see Metallica with Mustaine.

190
00:08:25.750 --> 00:08:26.550
Oh, hell yeah.

191
00:08:26.589 --> 00:08:28.829
That's freaking cool.

192
00:08:28.850 --> 00:08:29.129
Right?

193
00:08:30.029 --> 00:08:32.870
Well, what's even cooler is that, I don't know, what

194
00:08:32.889 --> 00:08:37.379
was I, like 13, 14? I can't remember. And they play.

195
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.419
There were like 25 of us there. And they come

196
00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:43.519
off the stage and Mustaine comes up and starts talking

197
00:08:43.539 --> 00:08:47.220
to me. Hands me his business card. And it says

198
00:08:47.289 --> 00:08:52.879
Metallica Power Metal Dave Mustaine. Because thrash didn't exist yet.

199
00:08:53.139 --> 00:08:57.539
Not that long ago, I was at this record meet up.

200
00:08:57.580 --> 00:09:00.340
Kind of like a swap meet thing with a bunch

201
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:05.070
of records. And I found Metal Up Your Ass on vinyl.

202
00:09:05.289 --> 00:09:06.490
I was like, yeah, I'm getting that.

203
00:09:06.929 --> 00:09:07.509
That's awesome.

204
00:09:07.669 --> 00:09:08.049
Yeah.

205
00:09:08.210 --> 00:09:11.470
Somewhere I have the demo tape still from the tape

206
00:09:11.529 --> 00:09:14.110
trading days that You can't tell what it says, though,

207
00:09:14.129 --> 00:09:15.990
because it's been recorded over, like, 500 times.

208
00:09:16.149 --> 00:09:17.870
One of the coolest things I've ever seen with my

209
00:09:17.889 --> 00:09:21.429
own two eyes is I was in Vegas not that

210
00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:24.299
long ago, and I went to the Metal Blade Museum,

211
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.299
and they had the original cassette that Lars handed to

212
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:29.399
Brian Slagle.

213
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:30.220
Yep.

214
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.679
The original, the first Metallica recording ever.

215
00:09:34.330 --> 00:09:35.870
And I saw it with my own two eyes behind

216
00:09:35.909 --> 00:09:39.049
a glass case and was like, that is really something cool.

217
00:09:39.750 --> 00:09:41.850
So... I used to go to this place in the

218
00:09:41.929 --> 00:09:46.799
valley called Oz Records. And there was this really cool

219
00:09:46.940 --> 00:09:49.460
record store clerk there. And he used to get a

220
00:09:49.460 --> 00:09:52.799
lot of imports. So he used to show us teenagers,

221
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.889
you know, all the newest music. Here, check this out.

222
00:09:56.889 --> 00:09:59.009
Like for one of the first albums he handed me

223
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:04.039
was venom welcome to hell and uh he used to

224
00:10:04.059 --> 00:10:07.700
tell us what shows to go to that was brian

225
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:12.419
slagle nice what that's awesome He was a record store

226
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:16.019
clerk and he started Metal Blade while he was working there.

227
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.539
He was brilliant because he had all us teenagers going

228
00:10:19.580 --> 00:10:21.980
to all his band shows and buying their music.

229
00:10:22.059 --> 00:10:24.409
The real thing is like whose first show were you

230
00:10:24.490 --> 00:10:26.049
not at? That's the real question.

231
00:10:26.190 --> 00:10:27.649
There's probably a lot.

232
00:10:28.629 --> 00:10:28.889
Yeah.

233
00:10:28.929 --> 00:10:31.870
Sabbath wasn't at their first show. Okay.

234
00:10:31.929 --> 00:10:34.450
Well, time period wise.

235
00:10:34.710 --> 00:10:37.879
So here's a trivia question for you. What was Black

236
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.240
Sabbath's original name?

237
00:10:40.190 --> 00:10:41.610
Oh, dude, I know it.

238
00:10:41.750 --> 00:10:42.389
Oh, wait.

239
00:10:42.769 --> 00:10:44.230
No, I actually knew the Black Sabbaths.

240
00:10:45.090 --> 00:10:46.460
I actually know it.

241
00:10:46.490 --> 00:10:47.230
Damn, I don't.

242
00:10:48.769 --> 00:10:49.610
It was like White Saturday.

243
00:10:49.649 --> 00:10:52.490
White Saturday.

244
00:10:54.830 --> 00:10:55.649
I don't know.

245
00:10:55.750 --> 00:10:56.289
I can't remember.

246
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.590
You're going to say it, and I'm going to know it.

247
00:10:58.700 --> 00:10:59.919
Yeah, literally.

248
00:11:00.220 --> 00:11:02.220
Earth.

249
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:02.379
Yeah.

250
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:03.059
I don't know.

251
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:04.159
Damn.

252
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.019
And I did see Ozzy with Randy Rhoads.

253
00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:08.580
Dude, you lucky motherfucker.

254
00:11:10.029 --> 00:11:15.409
It's not even fair. Funny story about that is, you know,

255
00:11:17.129 --> 00:11:20.029
my bro and I, we went on New Year's Eve

256
00:11:20.049 --> 00:11:22.789
to see Ozzy. I told my dad we were going

257
00:11:22.809 --> 00:11:25.830
to sleep over at his house. He told his parents

258
00:11:25.870 --> 00:11:27.929
he was sleeping over at my house. We went to Ozzy.

259
00:11:27.950 --> 00:11:30.710
The old switcheroo. Yep. You guys probably have done it

260
00:11:30.730 --> 00:11:35.779
to your parents. You can fess up now. And we

261
00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:38.659
came home from the gig, and we were sitting down, like,

262
00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:40.759
at the bum of the hill from where I live.

263
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:43.850
And my next-door neighbor came out.

264
00:11:44.350 --> 00:11:44.470
Oh.

265
00:11:45.809 --> 00:11:50.409
And she's like, oh, did you Aussie boys see Aussie?

266
00:11:50.450 --> 00:11:52.169
And we're like, oh, shit, we're busted.

267
00:11:52.250 --> 00:11:52.850
Yeah.

268
00:11:53.330 --> 00:11:58.090
She goes, wait right there. I'm getting my husband. I'm like, oh, crap.

269
00:11:59.429 --> 00:12:04.169
He brings us to the house. He had a room

270
00:12:04.250 --> 00:12:07.169
the size of this. That was his studio with cassette

271
00:12:07.230 --> 00:12:12.740
tapes all over the wall. And it turned out he

272
00:12:12.769 --> 00:12:13.799
was Ozzy's promoter.

273
00:12:13.820 --> 00:12:17.600
Are you serious? Who do you not know?

274
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:20.460
It's just right time, man.

275
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.899
This guy was in the right place at the right time.

276
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.240
I lived in New Jersey. My dad said to me

277
00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:28.659
in 1980, Hey, pack your bags. We're moving to California

278
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:30.639
in three days. And that's why we're sitting here right now.

279
00:12:30.659 --> 00:12:34.460
That's crazy. Yeah, you're like John Heavy Metal.

280
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.259
So, if you guys were to pick a band you

281
00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:40.120
would go on tour with that is like the one

282
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.779
you would want to do most, what would it be?

283
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.279
Oh, um.

284
00:12:46.110 --> 00:12:47.470
Realistic or like.

285
00:12:48.429 --> 00:12:54.850
Unrealistic, whatever. Oh, man. Everything's realistic. Metallica's like ate bologna

286
00:12:54.889 --> 00:12:57.330
sandwiches and slept on a floor for ten years.

287
00:12:57.509 --> 00:12:57.909
That's true.

288
00:12:58.470 --> 00:13:03.450
I don't know. I'd probably pick, um... Like... Crush Your

289
00:13:03.490 --> 00:13:06.610
Soul or like Drain or something like that.

290
00:13:06.629 --> 00:13:07.190
Okay.

291
00:13:07.230 --> 00:13:07.470
Yeah.

292
00:13:08.809 --> 00:13:09.309
How about you?

293
00:13:09.950 --> 00:13:13.620
Dude, like there's so many bands like in the world

294
00:13:13.649 --> 00:13:16.000
that I love. But honestly, I'm going to have to

295
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.740
say if it was probably 10 years ago, I would

296
00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:21.259
say Acacia Strain.

297
00:13:22.100 --> 00:13:25.080
But now, no.

298
00:13:25.100 --> 00:13:27.480
I got to say like Mindforce, man. I really like

299
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.399
Mindforce a lot.

300
00:13:29.509 --> 00:13:29.889
All right.

301
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:33.759
Well, I was going to say Mindforce, but I'm going

302
00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:35.960
to pick a different one so that it's not the same.

303
00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:37.120
Let's think.

304
00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:40.970
I would want to do a crossover band, someone that

305
00:13:41.350 --> 00:13:43.970
is combining that hardcore thrash vibe.

306
00:13:45.690 --> 00:13:47.330
Oh, yeah, Power Trip would be dope.

307
00:13:47.389 --> 00:13:48.649
Yeah, I'm going to say Power Trip.

308
00:13:49.110 --> 00:13:49.850
All right, cool.

309
00:13:51.850 --> 00:13:55.490
Yeah, that was going to be mine. Shoot, let me

310
00:13:55.509 --> 00:13:56.450
think of another one real quick.

311
00:13:57.730 --> 00:14:00.820
You can have the same one. It's your pick. Judiciary.

312
00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:01.460
Judiciary.

313
00:14:02.990 --> 00:14:05.570
We got a show with them coming up. September 16th.

314
00:14:05.570 --> 00:14:07.159
Oh, see. So you already have it.

315
00:14:07.190 --> 00:14:08.070
Yeah, we have a show with them.

316
00:14:08.129 --> 00:14:08.629
Not a tour.

317
00:14:09.629 --> 00:14:09.889
Oh, yeah.

318
00:14:09.929 --> 00:14:14.049
Guilt trip would also be sick. Someone already said drain, right?

319
00:14:14.409 --> 00:14:14.669
Yeah.

320
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:15.250
Yeah.

321
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:19.419
So tell everybody what gigs you do have coming up,

322
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:21.700
where they're at, what the dates are, and how they

323
00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:25.360
can connect to you guys on socials and get all

324
00:14:25.379 --> 00:14:28.159
your info. And buy your merch because they can't listen

325
00:14:28.179 --> 00:14:29.679
to my show if they don't buy your merch.

326
00:14:30.950 --> 00:14:33.990
First of all, you can follow us on Instagram at SheHatesMeNotOfficial.

327
00:14:34.190 --> 00:14:37.529
You can also find us on all streaming platforms at SheHatesMeNot.

328
00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:44.100
Our next show is September 16th in Oklahoma City with

329
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:51.179
Judiciary at 89th Street. After that, October 3rd in Stigler,

330
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:57.340
Oklahoma at Rock the Equinox. And then after that we

331
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:01.009
got November 14th, that'll be at Tulsa, Oklahoma at the Vanguard.

332
00:15:01.029 --> 00:15:01.850
Hold up.

333
00:15:02.549 --> 00:15:04.909
And then what's after that? We got anything after that?

334
00:15:04.929 --> 00:15:08.629
We got a few shows December, January, but we got

335
00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:09.740
March 13th in L.A.

336
00:15:09.750 --> 00:15:12.080
At the Whiskey. Oh, the Whiskey. That should be a bucket.

337
00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:12.799
We got a.

338
00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:14.879
Show in March or May?

339
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:15.639
March.

340
00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:18.779
March in L.A. at the Whiskey, but we're working on

341
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:19.700
some shows in between there.

342
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.460
Wait, tell them who it's with. That one's with Marauder.

343
00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:24.279
Nice.

344
00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:24.779
Yeah.

345
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.860
We also have an album that we have recorded, and

346
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.980
it is coming out early next year. It's going to

347
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.019
be still working on all the promo side of things

348
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:36.389
right now, but it's going to be freaking sick once

349
00:15:36.429 --> 00:15:36.909
it comes out.

350
00:15:37.750 --> 00:15:37.929
Yeah.

351
00:15:38.470 --> 00:15:43.429
Nice. Anything else you want to tell the listeners that

352
00:15:43.450 --> 00:15:44.529
we haven't covered already?

353
00:15:47.210 --> 00:15:49.029
I'm going to just say we're the best live band

354
00:15:49.049 --> 00:15:49.570
in Oklahoma.

355
00:15:50.570 --> 00:15:53.539
There you go. I like that. And you did kill

356
00:15:53.590 --> 00:15:56.330
it here at Rock, Oklahoma. He's joking.

357
00:15:57.450 --> 00:15:58.590
He's fucking with you.

358
00:15:59.070 --> 00:16:01.549
He's fucking with you. No.

359
00:16:01.570 --> 00:16:03.090
I'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playing, but for real.

360
00:16:03.110 --> 00:16:04.919
You should be. It's squelching.

361
00:16:05.299 --> 00:16:06.279
Yeah, it is squelching.

362
00:16:06.299 --> 00:16:08.820
It's actually the best band ever to come out of

363
00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:10.159
Oklahoma is squelching.

364
00:16:10.419 --> 00:16:13.320
Yeah, also Rest in Peace, Flashpoint, Tulsa, Oklahoma. They were

365
00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:14.850
a badass band. They're a badass punk band.

366
00:16:15.210 --> 00:16:16.190
But I do want to say.

367
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.299
we're going to keep working and we're super grateful for

368
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.070
the opportunities we've been given and we're going to, we're

369
00:16:22.090 --> 00:16:23.830
going to keep working towards what we want to do.

370
00:16:24.230 --> 00:16:25.929
And, uh, yeah.

371
00:16:26.950 --> 00:16:27.090
Yeah.

372
00:16:27.149 --> 00:16:29.070
Also just a shout out a couple of local bands

373
00:16:29.090 --> 00:16:29.789
that we really enjoy.

374
00:16:29.809 --> 00:16:32.370
Uh, and you should also check out from Tulsa around

375
00:16:32.409 --> 00:16:35.620
our seam, uh, leash, uh, dirty work.

376
00:16:36.389 --> 00:16:36.580
Yeah.

377
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:37.100
Squelching.

378
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.259
We already said, uh, flashpoint. They, they're not, they don't

379
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.340
do live shows anymore, but they're, uh, their music.

380
00:16:44.379 --> 00:16:44.580
Yeah.

381
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:50.269
Their music kicks ass. It's on streaming platforms. Um, Who else? Anirium.

382
00:16:50.429 --> 00:16:50.889
They're dope.

383
00:16:52.049 --> 00:16:54.080
Diced is dope. Taker's dope.

384
00:16:54.220 --> 00:16:54.429
Yeah.

385
00:16:54.929 --> 00:16:57.269
See, that's cool that you're giving the shout-outs to all

386
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.399
those other bands. That's the way it should be. That's

387
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:00.779
what the metal community is.

388
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.339
Yeah, definitely check them out. Yeah, and Squelching again.

389
00:17:07.539 --> 00:17:10.559
How many times? How many times should they check out Squelching?

390
00:17:10.579 --> 00:17:11.420
One more thing.

391
00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:11.799
One more thing.

392
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:13.180
Check out Squelching.

393
00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:16.319
There's this other.

394
00:17:17.109 --> 00:17:17.569
Pretty good.

395
00:17:17.750 --> 00:17:21.170
They're like Peter Griffin Deathcore.

396
00:17:23.569 --> 00:17:25.730
Their name is Squelching. You got to go see him.

397
00:17:26.369 --> 00:17:28.099
Sorry, you have to excuse our guitar player. He's a

398
00:17:28.150 --> 00:17:29.799
little turned on by squelching.

399
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.480
You can say he's squelching. Yeah, and I like the

400
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:37.559
Peter Griffin Deathcore thing. That's pretty cool.

401
00:17:37.579 --> 00:17:38.430
So....

402
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:46.019
And also, we also want to shout out Andy Nelson

403
00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:50.539
and Pete Grossman over at Bricktop Recording out in Chicago.

404
00:17:52.420 --> 00:17:55.019
We record our album over there, and they're real great people.

405
00:17:55.099 --> 00:17:57.880
Andy's a great guy, and we're real grateful for them

406
00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:59.730
to be able to handle us for a couple weeks

407
00:17:59.910 --> 00:18:01.089
to get our record put together.

408
00:18:01.730 --> 00:18:05.549
Nice. So my last question is, when are you guys

409
00:18:05.569 --> 00:18:07.569
going to headline Rock, La Jolla? Tomorrow.

410
00:18:08.430 --> 00:18:08.650
Pardon?

411
00:18:08.930 --> 00:18:16.000
When are you going to headline Rock, Oklahoma? Tomorrow. Let's see.

412
00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:18.900
My realistic guess, headline.

413
00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:21.599
Headline?

414
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:25.619
It's usually veteran bands that headline.

415
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.099
You might end up a veteran band.

416
00:18:29.140 --> 00:18:31.279
Yeah, it gives like 30 years. But if you're considering

417
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.190
like the pre-party or like.

418
00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:37.160
Whatever you want to consider.

419
00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:41.500
Playing on one of the bigger stages at Rockahoma, honestly, realistically,

420
00:18:42.259 --> 00:18:44.789
I give it three to five years.

421
00:18:45.210 --> 00:18:48.190
All right. I'm going to hold you to that. All right. Well,

422
00:18:48.289 --> 00:18:50.930
you guys killed it here, though, at Rockahoma for sure.

423
00:18:51.430 --> 00:18:54.410
And you should be on the main stage. I appreciate that.

424
00:18:54.589 --> 00:18:56.819
And thanks for being on the Adventures of Pipe Man. Yeah,

425
00:18:56.900 --> 00:18:57.400
thank you, man.

426
00:18:59.579 --> 00:19:03.720
Thank you for listening to the Adventures of Pipe Man.

427
00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:07.809
On W4CUI Radio.
