tell me about the journey to Bloodstock for you guys.

10
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.320
Oh, it was really weird one because we weren't expecting

11
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.479
it in the slightest. We just got a message randomly

12
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.119
on Facebook, hey guys, do you want to play the

13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.600
Serpent sla And we were like, this is a fishing

14
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.960
scam now, guys. He's trying to get a personal info.

15
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.320
And then we sent him over to Bible Canagia and

16
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.359
he was like, hey, guys, I hope you're free for

17
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.560
Boodstock because you're playing it. I mean we were like,

18
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.239
oh my god, no way, this is ridiculous.

19
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.040
Like you got to be careful sometimes you think there's

20
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.239
scam out emails and like you'll delete it and then shit,

21
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.920
it was real. So how does it feel to be

22
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.439
here now at Bloodstock? Now you're here I still hasn't sunkin.

23
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:24.239
I was sure we're gonna get it turned away at

24
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:29.079
the gates, but it really really hit like halfway through

25
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.840
the set when everyone's chatting along and sharing.

26
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.239
For us, it was like, shit, we're at Bloodstock. We're

27
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:35.599
playing our music at Bloodstock.

28
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.840
And does that blow your mind that people were actually

29
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.400
like they're cheering it on like you didn't probably didn't

30
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:43.560
even expect that, right.

31
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.439
Always, any gig we play it it's humbling to have

32
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.799
people just be interested invested in what we do to

33
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.879
just party along with us. That's always humbling.

34
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.400
And so each one of you tell me, what was

35
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.799
that first moment in life that you decide this is

36
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:01.959
what you needed to do?

37
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.599
Oh man, I my sister came on with a copy

38
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:10.520
of Guitar Hero three and I'd picked it up left handed,

39
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.759
and they were like, I think you can do that.

40
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.759
I'm not sure. It didn't take long for them to

41
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:16.599
get me a real guitar for my thirteenth birthday.

42
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:17.639
Nice.

43
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.039
That's a pretty good story too, because I'm a lot

44
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.840
better at a guitar Hero than I am an actual guitar.

45
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.240
I'm still better at gauzitar Hero than I am for me.

46
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.120
I remember my mum was always watching stuff on MTV

47
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.639
when I was growing up, and I saw something one day.

48
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.319
I used to want to dig up dinosaur burnes. And

49
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:37.719
then I was about five and I was like, no,

50
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.520
I want to play guitar. So I got a little

51
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.639
three quarter acoustic and ever since that's what I've been doing. Yeah,

52
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:44.599
nearly twenty two years on off of trying to learn

53
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.840
how to play the guitar, and I'm still not good.

54
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.280
He's not here, sadly, but the drummer introduced me to

55
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.319
why I made in our first year of high school,

56
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.680
so I must have been eleven years old, and I

57
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.159
was like, wow, that's just truly, truly amazing. I've never

58
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.319
heard anything like it. He was like, yeah, do you

59
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.360
play anything? We need a bassis for the band. I'm like, yeah, yeah,

60
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.759
I play bass. Didn't play bass, never played bass in

61
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.080
my life. So he started from there and now now

62
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.960
play guitar, and it's it's yeah, that's where we go from.

63
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.639
I'm gonna ask you a question first before we go

64
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.439
on a trivia question. Do you know who is the

65
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.560
most famous bass player that was not a bass player?

66
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.400
Had to play bass because they already had two guitarists,

67
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.240
Ronny Woods. No any other.

68
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.919
Guesses here, famous bass, I'll give you.

69
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:41.639
I'll give you a hint, Liverpool, not mcconne, no way. Yeah,

70
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.879
he was originally a guitarist and he had he actually

71
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.360
got he actually got a piece of ship bass to play,

72
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.360
and now it's like one of the most famous basses.

73
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.840
He's all right, yeah, he's kind of like. It's funny.

74
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.960
After I found that out all of a sudden, I'm

75
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.879
listening to Beeal songs. I'm like, yeah, it does sound

76
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.759
like he's playing it like guitar, you know, So it's.

77
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.240
Wild for me.

78
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.520
Probably so since I was really little, I always wanted

79
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.719
to sing, Like my mum couldn't get me to shut

80
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.360
the fuck off all the time. But I remember saying

81
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.879
to like my teachers in primary school, being like, I'm

82
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:18.519
going to be a singer when I grow up, and

83
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.519
they were like, should try and find it like a

84
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.120
real job. That's not going to happen. People don't do that,

85
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:26.920
And I was like, no, I'm not having a backup plan.

86
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:28.959
I am going to be a singer. And like there

87
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.879
still is no backing plan. I'm just winging it, doing

88
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.439
my best to try and make it a reality. I

89
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.319
guess in terms of like metal. The first band I

90
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.360
went to see live were Blackfelt Brides, nice, super cheesy,

91
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.279
fun and it just looked like so much fun watching

92
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.279
them up there, I was like, oh my god, I

93
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:49.000
want to do that.

94
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.720
You know what's amazing about what you said too, is

95
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:57.199
I'm also a motivational speaker, so I teach people don't

96
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.439
have a backup plan, don't have a plan B, because

97
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.759
you're always gonna fall back on that backup plan if

98
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.639
you have no other choice but move forward. You'll do

99
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:11.439
whatever it takes. So kudos to you for that, and

100
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:12.920
that's how you're here at Bloodstock.

101
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.439
It's still it still doesn't feel real that you're saying

102
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.639
that as well, because like my dread, I thought i'd

103
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.519
have like a massive adrenaline done today after playing and

104
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.680
having like such a a real time, and then I

105
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:25.879
was just like, I walk up to it and I

106
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.199
was like, I'm still a Bloodstock. I can't believe it,

107
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.879
and our first time as a band's playing it obviously,

108
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.160
but also being here, we've never you know, we've never

109
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.480
done a full festival like this for us, like we

110
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.439
did Call the World earlier this summer and we managed

111
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.279
to get a couple of days there, but we were

112
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.240
still on tour with another band, Bullets Knocks In, and

113
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.279
we we didn't get a chance to kind of just

114
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.560
do the full festival experience. We were really like, we

115
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.600
turned up, we watched a few bands, we then played

116
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.000
that we had to be were playing the last day

117
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.319
as well, so we weren't like fully into it still

118
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.480
going on as well. So this weekend it's just been crazy.

119
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:55.600
It's been so much fun.

120
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.240
Yeah, and this is one of my favorite festivals. Like

121
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.120
I do festivals all over to you its UK, Europe.

122
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:06.040
This is my favorite because it's a family here, it's

123
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.920
a community, and there's no assholes. I haven't found one

124
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:11.800
yet in all the years I'm doing it.

125
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.759
We were saying this earlier, like not only have the

126
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.399
crew been so welcoming to us, but every single person

127
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.319
that we've met along the way, like it's just we're

128
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.319
a unit. Everyone's a unit, Like we're all here for

129
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.480
the same reason. We're all here to listen to some

130
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.639
good music. It really does feel like, I don't want

131
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.360
to sound too cheesy, it does feel like we come.

132
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:33.040
Home, you know. It's what twenty thousand, like mining in individuals.

133
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.040
It's funny you should say that because when I got

134
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.240
here the first day, I did a posting on my

135
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:41.680
socials that I came home with my family at Bloodstock.

136
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:42.560
Oh brilliant, you know.

137
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.480
And then today coming in, you know, I'm parked over

138
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.439
at the press artists parking and I'm walking in with

139
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.199
my backpack that's super heavy, and this never happens to

140
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:57.399
me at any festival. Golf cart pulls over one of

141
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.879
the crew people and says, you need a ride, and

142
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:06.079
I'm like okay, and we were talking about the whole

143
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.519
family thing, and like now it's my new friend. And

144
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.800
like normally at other festivals they don't do that. They're

145
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.079
on mission. They gotta go some there and they're not

146
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.240
supposed to just pick up random people, you know. And

147
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.800
like I was like, no, that's really freaking.

148
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.439
Cool that this is it. It's something that I've really loved.

149
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.759
Like this morning, nine o'clock, I had two guys just

150
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:28.480
come set up as at me.

151
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:30.000
Can we have a breakfast here?

152
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.920
Yeah, go for it, And just got talking about the

153
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.000
bands I've been seeing and the bands I've been seeing

154
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.879
and this that and the other and it's it.

155
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:36.800
Just doesn't happen anymore.

156
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.720
It feels like people don't speak to each other anymore.

157
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.720
But here, no, they're in front of their phones. Yeah,

158
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:42.040
that's it.

159
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.079
Everything's everything goes out the window and everyone's just friends

160
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.319
and it's it really is nice to it's just great

161
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:48.560
to be in this environment.

162
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:49.399
Yeah.

163
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.399
And it's funny even while I've been here, I have,

164
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:54.839
you know, friends of mine or people complain that I'm

165
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:59.040
not like responding to their Instagram thing or whatever. I'm like,

166
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:05.879
I'm just immersed in Bloodstock. Fuck the phone, right, And So,

167
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:10.680
speaking of bands besides your own, who was your favorite

168
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.199
set that you saw here at Bloodstock?

169
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.439
Gona jump in first?

170
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:19.600
So far Saxon Nay, God, my god, Ah, the Gods

171
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.160
of mel They are so so good. Granted we're going

172
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.079
to see Judas Priest later as well. I've no doubt

173
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:24.959
they're going to be amazing.

174
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:25.600
They will.

175
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.199
Saxon just just really set the standard for the Is

176
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.759
it the first Thursday that they've done yeah, Bustart this year.

177
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.240
Yeah, and they were like they're like, oh, I should

178
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:36.559
do Thursday every year.

179
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.000
You know, if Saxon's on every Thursday, I'm here every

180
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.399
year absolutely, they were so so good and the way

181
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.000
that Biff just controls and holds the crowd at the

182
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.720
tip of his fingers, it's it's really really just great

183
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:48.000
to see.

184
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.720
It was a live fun. The only thing that was

185
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.720
stupid on my part. A whole weekend of doing interviews

186
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:58.279
and I jumped into the pit with this fucking dust, okay,

187
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.399
and I was fucking room, not from the pit but

188
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.120
from the dust. That that's it. My nose at my

189
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.919
throat was all fucked up. Like the next morning, I'm

190
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:12.919
like down in vocal zone and tea and honey they

191
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.559
get my voice back to be able to speak and

192
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:16.799
to breathe.

193
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.720
But it's worth it, absolutely, always worth it, no doubt.

194
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.120
Who's next, I.

195
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:26.000
Mean a close second for me would be ARCAA on

196
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.440
the New Blood stage the Liverpool Metals to the Masses

197
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.440
winners and it's so nice seeing people where I'm from

198
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.039
doing so well at that level.

199
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.399
Or it's got to be leave from within. Nice.

200
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.080
Saw them in March on the on the tour and

201
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.120
they've been in Belfast or Doubling the day before and

202
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.159
the ferry had been delayed and they didn't get to

203
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:44.840
the venue until they were supposed to be on stage

204
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.240
and the supporters didn't get to play, and they came

205
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.159
on and it took a lot to kind of lift

206
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.960
their mood and get like the crowd really behind them,

207
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.679
but they just got to go out yesterday and just

208
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.840
like they got their flowers. They said, it's biggest should

209
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.759
they've never done, and it showed.

210
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.679
And they did kill it too believable.

211
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:06.759
Okay, oh my god, the last show in the UK ever.

212
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.120
I feel blessed not only for watching Stary but also

213
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.840
the drummer Gras and I believe his name is, and

214
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.639
he's just fantastic. But my top top set of the week,

215
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.600
of all all the days so far is a band

216
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.519
called Redeemon. They're a scarcore band and they came on

217
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.519
with a four piece horn section and absolutely dominated.

218
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:27.480
It was amazing.

219
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.840
Now you bummed me out because I like scar and

220
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.879
I was in here working and I missed it.

221
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:33.480
There my god, they were.

222
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.679
I just I've never been so taken back by a

223
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.799
new band before watching somebody like that. I bumped into

224
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.480
the singer and one of the one of the sax

225
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.039
players and just got talking to them with such lovely people.

226
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.080
But at the same time it was just like I

227
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:47.799
don't know how they just came on and blew it

228
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.360
blew it out the water best set by far i've.

229
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:53.480
Seen this weekends. Nice thanks for making me feel bad?

230
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:56.399
Oh god?

231
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.039
Ah so again. Close second and a band that we're

232
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.559
quite good friends with, Venitas, played the EMP stage the

233
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.279
other day and it's their first time playing Bookstock as well,

234
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.200
and I was at the front. They had a packed

235
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.480
our audience. I was at the front watching them play

236
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.120
that first song, absolutely sobbing because I was so proud

237
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.360
of them. They've come so far. But I can't boot

238
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:23.039
your bundits. This morning sipping my margarita at eleven am,

239
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.759
and they were just so much fun, like throwing inflatable

240
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.960
catuses out into the audience. The water pistols are just

241
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.519
gay cowboys. What more could you want in your sat

242
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.840
at Sunday morning metal show.

243
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.399
That's the thing I love about Bloodstock too. All the

244
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:44.120
bands are only so supportive of each other, especially with

245
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.559
like Melton and Masses. It's like you guys are competing,

246
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:53.159
but not It's like you're happy to see another band

247
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.399
win even if you don't, because you all support each other.

248
00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.960
That's a rare thing nowadays, so that's what's really cool.

249
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:01.840
I think at the end of the day, like we're

250
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.720
all metalheads. Yeah, we're all hit soft uplift each other.

251
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.559
There's no there's no room in these scenes to kind

252
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.440
of be chatting ship about each other and and dragging

253
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.559
each other down, like we all want to see each

254
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.120
other succeed, like we are all friends and that's that.

255
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.799
It really is something special.

256
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.399
That is key and that that's why Bloodstock is such

257
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.240
a great festival because it's like, you know, not all

258
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:27.480
festivals are metal. Festivals just have metal, so then you

259
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:30.679
have a little different vibe. But when you have all

260
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.759
metal heads in one place, we could solve all the

261
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.960
world's problems if we would just all do that.

262
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:38.120
That.

263
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.799
Well, you guys are fucking amazing. Tell everybody how they

264
