Notable Quotes

"For me, it's just the most fun kind of music you can play... playing that kind of shit live is kind of lame in my opinion." 07:33
"That's what's great about metal... you get all that angst out of you. People talk about the pit... that's where you get your shit out so you don't hurt anybody in the outside world." 08:33

1
00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:19.769
Hey, you're listening to Adventure on W4CY Radio. This is

2
00:00:19.789 --> 00:00:23.010
the Pipe Man here on the Adventure's Pipe Man W4CY Radio,

3
00:00:23.030 --> 00:00:23.750
and I'm here with.

4
00:00:24.859 --> 00:00:25.760
Ray McDonald.

5
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:27.160
Steve Buell.

6
00:00:28.179 --> 00:00:28.760
Todd Thompson.

7
00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:29.699
Owen.

8
00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:30.879
Damn, Owen Pooley.

9
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:32.429
Of.

10
00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:34.520
200 stab wounds.

11
00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:37.659
I like when the artist says it better because they

12
00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:38.929
usually say it cool.

13
00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:40.829
Maybe me, not so much.

14
00:00:41.250 --> 00:00:43.909
But yeah, you're here at Louder Than Life, which I've

15
00:00:43.969 --> 00:00:47.420
renamed Hotter Than Life because it's brutal.

16
00:00:48.729 --> 00:00:50.590
I'm from Texas, so this is a fucking nice day.

17
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:51.640
See, there you go.

18
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.439
I'm from South Florida, but it's still, for some reason,

19
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.179
hot to me because we've been cooler in Florida than

20
00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:01.880
all the hot places, which is weird to say. Be

21
00:01:01.939 --> 00:01:05.640
like where you are being cool, too. You know, so.

22
00:01:07.150 --> 00:01:09.230
Have you guys played Louder Than Life before?

23
00:01:10.129 --> 00:01:12.129
This is our first time playing Louder Than Life.

24
00:01:12.269 --> 00:01:15.590
Nice. What other Wimmer festivals have you done?

25
00:01:15.890 --> 00:01:20.870
We've done Sonic Temple and Welcome to Rockville twice. But

26
00:01:21.069 --> 00:01:22.750
this is our first time with this one.

27
00:01:23.310 --> 00:01:26.590
So have you had a chance to check things out

28
00:01:27.109 --> 00:01:29.750
and see what the vibe is compared to the other

29
00:01:29.790 --> 00:01:31.170
Wimmer festivals you've done?

30
00:01:33.010 --> 00:01:35.569
I've kind of just woke up. Well, not really, but

31
00:01:35.670 --> 00:01:37.760
I mean like... That's why I said... Hell of a

32
00:01:37.750 --> 00:01:39.920
night last night, but I haven't really explored.

33
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.159
Yeah, no, we just got here a little bit ago.

34
00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:46.420
But I will say... that as far as the hospitality

35
00:01:46.459 --> 00:01:49.920
goes for all the Danny Wimmer Fests, are pretty much

36
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.980
always fucking sick. So we kind of scoped out back

37
00:01:53.019 --> 00:01:54.280
here a little bit, but we haven't really had a

38
00:01:54.299 --> 00:01:56.420
chance to walk through the actual fest yet.

39
00:01:57.030 --> 00:01:58.329
But I love hearing that.

40
00:01:58.609 --> 00:02:02.530
I love hearing how Danny treats the artists because, like,

41
00:02:02.609 --> 00:02:05.670
nothing could be worse but going to a festival and

42
00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:09.439
having all kinds of headaches. And nobody seems to ever

43
00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:12.699
have that with Wimmer. Yeah, I mean, like he said,

44
00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:17.810
we played... Sonic Temple in Rockville twice now. And the

45
00:02:17.830 --> 00:02:19.629
hospitality and all that shit, the way they take care

46
00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:21.569
of the bands is always really sick.

47
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:26.539
Free beers, which is awesome. Green rooms, showers, all that

48
00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:29.560
kind of shit, food. So it's cool. And you have

49
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:35.090
another good thing is the stage crew. They're always really helpful.

50
00:02:35.669 --> 00:02:37.849
They always tell you where you need to be, what

51
00:02:37.870 --> 00:02:40.250
time you need to be there. They're really helpful with

52
00:02:40.310 --> 00:02:43.990
moving all your shit, making sure everything's working correctly. So Yeah,

53
00:02:44.250 --> 00:02:46.069
I think so far it's a good deal.

54
00:02:47.050 --> 00:02:49.439
You know, that's so important, because then it makes your

55
00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:51.360
life easier. You don't have to stress out, and then

56
00:02:51.379 --> 00:02:53.039
you just go up on stage and give us the

57
00:02:53.099 --> 00:02:54.560
best fucking performance ever.

58
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:55.319
Yeah, exactly.

59
00:02:55.340 --> 00:02:57.639
You know, you don't have any other things to deal with,

60
00:02:57.699 --> 00:02:58.139
so that's cool.

61
00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:58.860
For sure, yeah.

62
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.580
I love your necklace, by the way, the Slayer one,

63
00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:02.960
the fucking Slayer one.

64
00:03:02.979 --> 00:03:03.580
Yeah, thank you.

65
00:03:03.620 --> 00:03:05.840
Because I just saw them at Rock, Oklahoma a couple

66
00:03:05.909 --> 00:03:08.250
weeks ago, but I was at their first show ever,

67
00:03:09.409 --> 00:03:11.629
and I've seen them like over a thousand times, so...

68
00:03:12.169 --> 00:03:16.169
I'm already a fan of you for that necklace right there.

69
00:03:16.569 --> 00:03:18.189
But I am a fan of your band. Your band

70
00:03:18.229 --> 00:03:19.789
is fucking... Oh, look at that shit.

71
00:03:20.009 --> 00:03:20.150
Oh, yeah.

72
00:03:20.169 --> 00:03:21.009
Thank you. Brutal.

73
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:21.659
Brutal.

74
00:03:22.219 --> 00:03:25.219
See, too bad... I have to show you a picture

75
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.159
or something. I have it with me, but I didn't

76
00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:30.639
bring it in today. My 80s battle vest.

77
00:03:30.979 --> 00:03:31.219
Yeah.

78
00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:37.400
Slayer didn't even have a patch yet. So, basically, I

79
00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:42.289
just put some, like, velvet... And in L.A., they thought

80
00:03:42.349 --> 00:03:46.969
I was a gangbanger because of that.

81
00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:48.469
They thought that was my gang name.

82
00:03:48.490 --> 00:03:51.370
That's pretty fucking sick.

83
00:03:53.930 --> 00:03:56.669
Yeah, if you look at the front and back of it,

84
00:03:58.610 --> 00:04:02.270
here's a video I drew all over it. It's back

85
00:04:02.310 --> 00:04:04.849
in the day when you had to do it DIY

86
00:04:04.930 --> 00:04:05.629
on your vest.

87
00:04:07.689 --> 00:04:08.439
Dark Angel?

88
00:04:08.469 --> 00:04:08.659
Sick.

89
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.080
Okay, so, all right, now, since you mentioned Dark Angel,

90
00:04:14.099 --> 00:04:16.290
I have a trivia question for you.

91
00:04:16.819 --> 00:04:17.110
Okay.

92
00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:18.850
He might be more keen on that one, but.

93
00:04:19.149 --> 00:04:20.230
Anybody can answer it.

94
00:04:20.709 --> 00:04:20.910
Yeah.

95
00:04:22.629 --> 00:04:27.189
What does Dark Angel have in common with Louder Than Life?

96
00:04:33.529 --> 00:04:34.129
Is it Death Clock?

97
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.000
Ding, ding, ding. You are the winner.

98
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:37.620
Yes.

99
00:04:38.500 --> 00:04:39.199
Gene Hoagland.

100
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:39.779
Yeah.

101
00:04:39.899 --> 00:04:41.120
We saw him a little bit. Well, he saw him

102
00:04:41.139 --> 00:04:42.899
a little bit ago walking around.

103
00:04:43.860 --> 00:04:46.120
Have you guys seen Death Clock before live?

104
00:04:46.139 --> 00:04:47.000
I've never seen him, no.

105
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:48.879
That's my favorite show ever.

106
00:04:49.459 --> 00:04:51.300
That's maybe part of the reason when I was a

107
00:04:51.339 --> 00:04:52.259
kid I wanted to play death metal.

108
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:53.839
There you go.

109
00:04:54.259 --> 00:04:56.579
And for all of you, what was it that made

110
00:04:56.620 --> 00:04:57.779
you want to play death metal?

111
00:04:59.160 --> 00:04:59.480
Slayer.

112
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:00.660
Nice.

113
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:01.579
How about you?

114
00:05:02.300 --> 00:05:02.600
Slayer.

115
00:05:04.689 --> 00:05:07.370
Death and Death Clock, surprisingly. I didn't even know they

116
00:05:07.430 --> 00:05:08.009
had the same drummer.

117
00:05:09.750 --> 00:05:10.889
I would say Slayer as well.

118
00:05:12.370 --> 00:05:16.009
Nice, look at all this. The funny part is, for me,

119
00:05:16.029 --> 00:05:20.500
it was Possessed. Because to me, they were the death

120
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.600
metal and Slayer was the thrash. But they always used

121
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.509
to say back then in the 80s that Possessed was

122
00:05:27.569 --> 00:05:29.490
like a Slayer copycat.

123
00:05:30.329 --> 00:05:31.389
I never thought they were.

124
00:05:31.410 --> 00:05:31.769
Slayer?

125
00:05:32.050 --> 00:05:32.269
Yeah.

126
00:05:32.509 --> 00:05:32.959
I don't think so.

127
00:05:32.970 --> 00:05:34.850
That's what they all used to say. I don't think

128
00:05:34.889 --> 00:05:37.680
so at all. I think there's a distinct difference there.

129
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:38.540
Yeah.

130
00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:44.519
But I was at the first crossover show ever where

131
00:05:44.620 --> 00:05:47.730
punks and metalheads could be in the same room. The

132
00:05:47.769 --> 00:05:52.810
punk side was COC pre-pepper, and you had suicidal pre-crossover,

133
00:05:53.350 --> 00:05:57.639
and the descendants, the metal side was possessed, Dark Angel

134
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.480
and Savage Grace, and so it was mayhem.

135
00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:06.279
It was at Elk's Lodge. Elk's Lodge? Yeah, no security

136
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.199
at Elk's Lodge.

137
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:09.000
It's fucking sick.

138
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:09.519
Oh, yeah.

139
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.420
There was no safe place to hide if you wanted

140
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.339
to hide. But I got to tell you, I have

141
00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:18.569
a challenge for you guys. Last night, Limp Bizkit had, like,

142
00:06:19.110 --> 00:06:22.410
these mosh pits that were, like, the length of the

143
00:06:22.449 --> 00:06:25.930
whole crowd. That's my challenge to you, that you got

144
00:06:25.949 --> 00:06:28.889
to get out there and get people to fucking go nuts.

145
00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:31.279
That might be impossible because Fred Durst is a very,

146
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.180
very good front man. So, we'll try.

147
00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:33.360
But.

148
00:06:35.410 --> 00:06:37.310
I think you can do it. I have faith in you.

149
00:06:37.689 --> 00:06:38.910
We'll see. We'll see how the crowd is.

150
00:06:39.870 --> 00:06:43.069
So how did you all guys start to really like,

151
00:06:44.100 --> 00:06:47.060
what was that moment where you knew this is what

152
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:48.759
you had to do playing metal?

153
00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:55.860
Well, for me, it was, cause I was already into

154
00:06:55.899 --> 00:06:59.920
like hardcore and punk kind of shit. But my friend, uh,

155
00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:02.790
actually a guy used to play in a band with,

156
00:07:02.810 --> 00:07:07.240
he's our drummer. And, uh, him and his stepdad took

157
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.220
me to see Slayer, and that was it for me.

158
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:11.540
And I already kind of knew about, like, Morbid Angel

159
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.259
and all that kind of shit because my mom's ex-boyfriend

160
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.689
had all that shit on his iTunes, like, DSI, all

161
00:07:17.709 --> 00:07:20.069
that kind of shit. But I didn't understand it, but

162
00:07:20.089 --> 00:07:22.230
when I saw Slayer live, I was like, oh, shit,

163
00:07:22.250 --> 00:07:24.709
you know, it's fucking sick. And then dove back into

164
00:07:24.730 --> 00:07:29.029
the death metal stuff. And to me, it's just the

165
00:07:29.069 --> 00:07:31.430
most fun kind of music you can play, I think,

166
00:07:31.670 --> 00:07:33.610
as far as, like, a live setting goes. I played

167
00:07:33.649 --> 00:07:37.790
in other kinds of bands, like, They're kind of like

168
00:07:37.910 --> 00:07:40.829
emo-ish bands, like whatever you want to call it. And

169
00:07:40.949 --> 00:07:43.319
I like the music, but playing that kind of shit

170
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.899
live is kind of lame, in my opinion. What makes

171
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.000
it different to you? What makes what?

172
00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:49.540
What makes it different to you?

173
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.319
Oh, because you can fucking headbang. Well, there you go. Headbang,

174
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:56.120
it's fast. It's fucking sick. You know, I mean, like

175
00:07:57.529 --> 00:07:59.649
I said, I like a lot of other styles of music.

176
00:07:59.689 --> 00:08:01.209
I love country. I love all that kind of shit.

177
00:08:01.670 --> 00:08:05.509
But playing that kind of music, for me, is lame.

178
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.899
Do you think what it is is because you're headbanging

179
00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:11.259
and because of the adrenaline pump that makes it more

180
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:12.490
fun for you to play?

181
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:13.329
Yeah, yeah.

182
00:08:13.389 --> 00:08:16.350
Well, I guess it also kind of depends on the setting.

183
00:08:16.370 --> 00:08:18.089
Because I think it would actually be pretty sick to

184
00:08:18.110 --> 00:08:20.350
play in like a southern rock kind of shit, like

185
00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:22.329
cover band or something like that. But it would really

186
00:08:22.370 --> 00:08:23.879
kind of depend on the venue or the setting of

187
00:08:23.889 --> 00:08:25.980
the crowd or whatever. Like that would be pretty cool.

188
00:08:26.019 --> 00:08:29.019
But playing like songs about love and shit like that...

189
00:08:29.670 --> 00:08:32.149
For me, kind of lame, I think. I'm with you, bro.

190
00:08:32.169 --> 00:08:33.110
That's why metal's sick.

191
00:08:33.549 --> 00:08:37.009
Exactly, because music's the best therapy there is. And that's

192
00:08:37.049 --> 00:08:40.009
what's great about metal, because you get all that angst

193
00:08:40.110 --> 00:08:43.669
out of you. Like, people talk about the pit. Like,

194
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.799
that Art Melhead says, oh, it's scary, people get hurt.

195
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:47.740
No, man.

196
00:08:48.700 --> 00:08:51.200
That's where you get your shit out so you don't

197
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.019
hurt anybody in the outside world, because you're all fucking

198
00:08:54.220 --> 00:08:57.870
angst and angry. And then you hug each other afterwards.

199
00:08:57.950 --> 00:09:00.419
It's like the best therapy there is. And for you guys,

200
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:05.100
the artists, like, if you're going through shit, writing music is, like,

201
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.899
some of the most cathartic shit there is. So, like, yeah,

202
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:12.110
if you're writing about fake shit like Pop Des or

203
00:09:12.149 --> 00:09:16.269
Love Like You're Saying, is that really doing it for you?

204
00:09:16.389 --> 00:09:17.409
That's my opinion.

205
00:09:17.730 --> 00:09:20.929
I think it could be cool in a context of, like,

206
00:09:22.509 --> 00:09:24.169
if you can make it work for a metal song

207
00:09:24.190 --> 00:09:27.470
or whatever. Yeah. But I just mean, like, singing a

208
00:09:27.509 --> 00:09:29.049
song about a fucking girl that broke up with you.

209
00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:33.289
It's not, you know, it doesn't tickle my fancy.

210
00:09:33.690 --> 00:09:33.970
Right.

211
00:09:34.350 --> 00:09:36.169
I can listen to shit like that, you know, whatever,

212
00:09:36.190 --> 00:09:37.830
because there's a lot of bands I like like that

213
00:09:37.850 --> 00:09:40.950
or whatever, but I love Green Day. It's like one

214
00:09:40.970 --> 00:09:42.669
of my favorite bands. Really? And all they sing about

215
00:09:42.690 --> 00:09:43.049
is chicks.

216
00:09:43.610 --> 00:09:44.129
Exactly.

217
00:09:44.190 --> 00:09:46.230
But to play it, you know, death metal is the

218
00:09:46.269 --> 00:09:47.629
only fucking, or metal in general.

219
00:09:47.850 --> 00:09:50.110
But I agree with you. It's a different listening to

220
00:09:50.169 --> 00:09:51.789
something and actually having to play it.

221
00:09:51.950 --> 00:09:52.210
Yeah.

222
00:09:52.730 --> 00:09:54.250
So how about the rest of you? What got you

223
00:09:54.309 --> 00:09:55.409
into playing music?

224
00:09:56.549 --> 00:09:57.710
What got me into playing music?

225
00:09:58.730 --> 00:10:00.259
Actually... um.

226
00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:04.559
When i was younger about 14 or 15 me and

227
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.220
my friends used to hang out in this abandoned house.

228
00:10:08.570 --> 00:10:13.649
And i had a guitar in there and then someone stole.

229
00:10:13.409 --> 00:10:15.769
It and then we cleaned out one of the rooms

230
00:10:15.789 --> 00:10:18.409
and there was a bass in there and that's how

231
00:10:18.429 --> 00:10:21.049
i started playing bass Found it in an abandoned house.

232
00:10:22.350 --> 00:10:25.450
Wow. That's a cool freaking story.

233
00:10:25.990 --> 00:10:28.330
And we jammed in there for years after.

234
00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:28.419
Wow.

235
00:10:29.649 --> 00:10:33.039
It was called The Factory. Where was it?

236
00:10:33.309 --> 00:10:34.330
It was called The Factory.

237
00:10:34.370 --> 00:10:35.169
But where was it?

238
00:10:35.250 --> 00:10:36.149
In Kermit, Texas.

239
00:10:36.509 --> 00:10:37.970
Wow. That's pretty cool.

240
00:10:38.029 --> 00:10:38.590
Small-ass town.

241
00:10:38.970 --> 00:10:39.289
Nice.

242
00:10:40.269 --> 00:10:44.120
That's like one of the most unique stories I've heard

243
00:10:44.169 --> 00:10:44.700
so far.

244
00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:45.429
How about you?

245
00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:46.519
Oh, shit.

246
00:10:48.669 --> 00:10:52.120
My dad played guitar, so I always had guitars around.

247
00:10:53.460 --> 00:10:55.620
And since he played, they were, like, pretty good. So

248
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:58.320
I was able to, like, just start playing on really

249
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:03.210
nice guitars growing up. So, yeah, my dad. He played

250
00:11:03.259 --> 00:11:05.870
in jazz bands and shit in fucking Port St.

251
00:11:05.889 --> 00:11:06.389
Lucie, Florida.

252
00:11:06.409 --> 00:11:11.389
Nice. Where I am now. I'm near there. I live

253
00:11:11.450 --> 00:11:14.750
on Singer Island. My studios are in Palm Beach Gardens.

254
00:11:15.350 --> 00:11:16.600
Yeah, I was born in Port Charlotte.

255
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.470
Nice. The West Coast.

256
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:25.059
Pretty much shit. I got a guitar when I was

257
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.990
a kid. I kind of sucked at that. I just

258
00:11:28.009 --> 00:11:29.490
wanted to play drums, really.

259
00:11:31.210 --> 00:11:31.590
Oh, yeah.

260
00:11:31.909 --> 00:11:34.480
Played on pots and pans. Everybody does that when they're younger.

261
00:11:34.509 --> 00:11:35.019
That's pretty cool.

262
00:11:35.779 --> 00:11:38.200
And it's funny because it usually goes the opposite. Like

263
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.519
I played drums for nine years and then I moved

264
00:11:40.570 --> 00:11:44.830
to guitar. I sucked at both, but still, you know,

265
00:11:45.070 --> 00:11:47.669
and I find that happens a lot. Like you take

266
00:11:47.710 --> 00:11:50.990
Dave Grohl as an example. So it's kind of cool

267
00:11:51.009 --> 00:11:52.669
to hear somebody go the other way.

268
00:11:52.929 --> 00:11:53.269
Right.

269
00:11:53.490 --> 00:11:56.360
You know, it's just what's born in you.

270
00:11:56.779 --> 00:11:58.220
Drums is a lot funner for me.

271
00:11:58.559 --> 00:11:59.059
There you go.

272
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:00.639
Pretty much.

273
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.690
So, the last thing I want to ask you guys

274
00:12:03.750 --> 00:12:06.309
is why is it right now the lowest form of

275
00:12:06.309 --> 00:12:07.629
200 stab wounds?

276
00:12:08.769 --> 00:12:09.750
What is the lowest form?

277
00:12:09.929 --> 00:12:11.809
No, why is it the lowest form now?

278
00:12:11.830 --> 00:12:12.470
What is the lowest form?

279
00:12:14.610 --> 00:12:16.090
That was a hint at the album.

280
00:12:16.450 --> 00:12:19.529
I don't know. I think it kind of just fit

281
00:12:19.549 --> 00:12:21.769
the songs. There was a lot of shit going on

282
00:12:21.809 --> 00:12:27.059
last year for me personally. So, I kind of wrote

283
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.879
about some shit that was going on and I figured... Well,

284
00:12:30.899 --> 00:12:33.789
this is the fucking lowest form of life. Lowest form.

285
00:12:34.190 --> 00:12:34.269
Nice.

286
00:12:34.289 --> 00:12:35.009
Shortened it a little bit.

287
00:12:35.370 --> 00:12:37.529
And I was really just doing a play on words.

288
00:12:37.909 --> 00:12:38.090
Yeah.

289
00:12:38.110 --> 00:12:39.529
So we could promote your album.

290
00:12:39.710 --> 00:12:40.629
Yeah, a new album.

291
00:12:40.769 --> 00:12:43.909
But that's a good answer because, like, again, it goes

292
00:12:43.970 --> 00:12:44.970
back to what we were saying.

293
00:12:45.009 --> 00:12:47.129
Getting that shit out of you that's going on.

294
00:12:47.389 --> 00:12:47.629
Yeah.

295
00:12:47.970 --> 00:12:50.370
Yeah, because a lot of the stuff on this record

296
00:12:51.049 --> 00:12:55.080
is about real, like, real life happenings. Yeah, yeah. Instead of,

297
00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:59.940
you know, whatever. Killing people, which we don't do, obviously. So, yeah,

298
00:12:59.980 --> 00:13:00.440
lowest form.

299
00:13:02.139 --> 00:13:05.070
Can't confirm nor deny, right? He was shaking his head.

300
00:13:05.090 --> 00:13:07.350
I'm like, can't confirm nor deny on the killing thing.

301
00:13:08.090 --> 00:13:08.929
Yeah.

302
00:13:10.230 --> 00:13:12.250
So anything else you want to tell the listeners that

303
00:13:12.269 --> 00:13:14.129
we haven't covered already that they need to know.

304
00:13:14.049 --> 00:13:14.610
About you guys?

305
00:13:17.450 --> 00:13:18.830
Anything they don't know about us already.

306
00:13:19.730 --> 00:13:22.389
Well, anything coming up or whatever?

307
00:13:23.289 --> 00:13:28.889
