00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:12.390
Hey, you're listening to The Adventure of Spider-Man.

2
00:00:11.710 --> 00:00:21.260
On W4CY Radio. This is Spider-Man here on The Adventure

3
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:23.760
of Spider-Man W4CY Radio, and I'm here with.

4
00:00:24.219 --> 00:00:25.559
Scary Kids Scaring Kids.

5
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:26.300
Nice.

6
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:26.640
Yeah.

7
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.640
I have to tell you, I've always loved the name

8
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.439
of your band. That's awesome. I don't even give a

9
00:00:32.659 --> 00:00:38.179
shit what it means. I just love the sound of it. Yeah.

10
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:40.630
It's cool as hell. Thanks, man. And I love the

11
00:00:40.710 --> 00:00:44.909
shirt you're wearing. Thanks, brother. To write love on our arms. Yes, sir.

12
00:00:44.929 --> 00:00:47.810
What a great organization. I'm big about them.

13
00:00:48.090 --> 00:00:49.490
Yeah, we love those dudes. We brought them out on

14
00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:51.409
the road when we did our first reunion tour.

15
00:00:51.770 --> 00:00:53.570
Nice. We've had a relationship.

16
00:00:53.130 --> 00:00:56.409
With him since back in the day and just love

17
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:58.229
what they're all about. Great, great people too.

18
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.039
Yeah, the guy that runs it, he's like a sweetheart.

19
00:01:01.060 --> 00:01:01.299
Chad.

20
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.500
Yeah, yeah. He's the coolest dude. I love him. It's

21
00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:08.799
great to have people like him that are changing the

22
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.260
world and people like you guys are supporting it. For sure.

23
00:01:12.819 --> 00:01:13.340
Absolutely.

24
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:15.959
So how does it feel here at Hotter Than Life?

25
00:01:17.170 --> 00:01:18.109
Oh, you said, how does it feel?

26
00:01:18.569 --> 00:01:19.989
Hotter than life. Hotter than life.

27
00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:21.010
Oh, it is hotter than life.

28
00:01:21.049 --> 00:01:24.189
That's my new name for this festival, Louder Than Life.

29
00:01:24.569 --> 00:01:25.849
It's now hotter than life.

30
00:01:25.870 --> 00:01:27.230
I thought it was supposed to be cool.

31
00:01:27.530 --> 00:01:29.129
And I got here and I was like, this is

32
00:01:29.290 --> 00:01:30.489
really fucking hot.

33
00:01:30.549 --> 00:01:31.989
What the hell? I know, right?

34
00:01:32.230 --> 00:01:35.719
It's like a swamp heat. And we're like from Arizona.

35
00:01:35.750 --> 00:01:38.700
So we're used to the super dry heat. So it's

36
00:01:38.739 --> 00:01:40.219
like a wet heat. It's like a new beast.

37
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.099
I live in South Florida, and I can't wait to

38
00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:45.980
get home to cool off. And nobody says that.

39
00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:46.840
That's wild.

40
00:01:46.859 --> 00:01:49.760
Because we have to swampy. Okay? But this is a

41
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:54.400
whole other level. It's like wild, man. Every festival I've

42
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.840
done this whole summer has been just like this. Like,

43
00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:01.840
no matter where I was, I was at fucking, fucking

44
00:02:01.900 --> 00:02:07.099
hot as this. Italy, hot as this. Bloodstock in the UK,

45
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.000
hot as this. Rock, Oklahoma a couple weeks ago. Ohio's...

46
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:16.219
But it's not really having any global climate change at

47
00:02:16.419 --> 00:02:19.699
all when Florida is the coldest place I've been in

48
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:21.280
the past six months.

49
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:22.860
That's crazy.

50
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:23.259
Right?

51
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:24.259
That is crazy.

52
00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:29.020
It's just, like, unbelievable. But I have mad respect for

53
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:33.479
you guys to perform in this shit because, oh, my God,

54
00:02:34.419 --> 00:02:39.280
it is like putting everything you have into your one

55
00:02:39.419 --> 00:02:42.370
set Times 20.

56
00:02:42.370 --> 00:02:42.810
Correct.

57
00:02:43.030 --> 00:02:43.430
You know?

58
00:02:43.750 --> 00:02:44.090
Yes.

59
00:02:44.289 --> 00:02:46.550
And I always like to mention it when it's like

60
00:02:46.590 --> 00:02:49.210
this because I don't think the people even in the

61
00:02:49.349 --> 00:02:52.530
audience realize how much harder it is on you guys.

62
00:02:52.550 --> 00:02:55.310
Because you're right. Like, they're standing there and they're hot

63
00:02:55.330 --> 00:02:58.110
as hell. Okay? And respect for them being at your

64
00:02:58.169 --> 00:03:02.020
set under that. But you're sitting there with the sun

65
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.680
being on you hot as hell and running around.

66
00:03:05.210 --> 00:03:07.310
Yep, and singing and playing instruments.

67
00:03:07.689 --> 00:03:13.039
Right, exactly. But I also know what happens, but most

68
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:18.280
of the listeners don't know. It's like you kind of

69
00:03:18.620 --> 00:03:21.280
give yourself permission to feel it. You go and it's

70
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:26.330
like out-of-body experience, you know? And then when you get

71
00:03:26.370 --> 00:03:28.509
off stage, then you die. Yes, correct.

72
00:03:28.590 --> 00:03:31.750
Correct, yeah. Yeah, it's like CrossFit.

73
00:03:34.169 --> 00:03:36.090
Times 20.

74
00:03:36.090 --> 00:03:37.590
You just pretend you're not there, and then when you

75
00:03:37.610 --> 00:03:39.930
get off stage, you just go die, yeah.

76
00:03:39.969 --> 00:03:42.460
Yeah, I died like four times after our set today.

77
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:43.400
I'm good now, though.

78
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:44.219
I am okay.

79
00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:45.620
Well, that's good.

80
00:03:45.699 --> 00:03:46.360
You don't look okay.

81
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:51.900
I'm well. Thanks. And, like, even the other thing. Like,

82
00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:54.330
I can be out there, and I can have shorts on,

83
00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:57.629
a t-shirt. Like, I'm looking at you, and I'm fucking

84
00:03:57.669 --> 00:03:59.449
hot looking at you. Okay?

85
00:03:59.669 --> 00:04:00.169
Yeah.

86
00:04:00.349 --> 00:04:01.889
I was also told it was going to be cold.

87
00:04:02.189 --> 00:04:02.810
Or, like, rain.

88
00:04:02.849 --> 00:04:04.710
I was told it was going to be, like, rainy. Yeah,

89
00:04:04.729 --> 00:04:05.949
we were told it was going to be rainy. It

90
00:04:06.009 --> 00:04:06.889
was rainy.

91
00:04:06.569 --> 00:04:10.530
Yesterday, yeah. But it was still hot as hell. The

92
00:04:10.590 --> 00:04:13.370
best part about the rain yesterday is it's the first

93
00:04:13.409 --> 00:04:17.480
time ever... that I was happy to get evacuated. Because

94
00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:19.279
then I went in that building and sat in the

95
00:04:19.339 --> 00:04:23.160
air conditioning after boiling out here all day. So I

96
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.540
was like, okay, it's cool. Yeah, I got an interview canceled,

97
00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:28.579
but fuck it. I'm getting cool off.

98
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:29.300
AC.

99
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:30.040
Right?

100
00:04:30.939 --> 00:04:31.680
It's amazing.

101
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:32.360
I know.

102
00:04:32.459 --> 00:04:34.560
Alexander Graham Bell invented AC.

103
00:04:35.939 --> 00:04:36.180
What?

104
00:04:38.660 --> 00:04:39.129
I love it.

105
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:39.500
Franklin.

106
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:41.439
Yeah, I'm a big fan.

107
00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:42.779
So....

108
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.259
Tell our listeners what you guys are all about now

109
00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:51.730
and what you got going on after Louder Than Life. Yeah,

110
00:04:51.750 --> 00:04:52.129
for sure.

111
00:04:52.269 --> 00:04:53.750
I mean, Albert, you can speak to it, too, if

112
00:04:53.790 --> 00:04:54.110
you want.

113
00:04:54.329 --> 00:04:58.490
The past couple albums, after our vocalist passed away, we

114
00:04:58.509 --> 00:05:00.569
didn't really feel right replacing him.

115
00:05:00.810 --> 00:05:02.990
Yeah, it's a bummer, man.

116
00:05:03.889 --> 00:05:06.639
Thanks. And so the past couple albums, what we've done

117
00:05:06.660 --> 00:05:09.180
is we've just brought in people who had a personal

118
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.839
connection with him, personal connection with the band, or musicians

119
00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:15.959
that we just admired. in the scene and it felt

120
00:05:16.019 --> 00:05:20.769
right to do co-writes. We've had Albert out with us

121
00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:25.689
for now three years as our live permanent vocalist and

122
00:05:25.709 --> 00:05:29.110
we've recently written a lot of songs together and they're

123
00:05:29.670 --> 00:05:32.430
a lot more aggressive. That's just kind of how it's

124
00:05:32.449 --> 00:05:35.629
been coming together and we're really excited. We're excited to

125
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.480
start sharing some of that and Friday is the first

126
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:40.600
day we're going to release one of those.

127
00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:41.660
Nice.

128
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:42.160
Yeah.

129
00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:47.319
And You said it's a lot more aggressive, right? For sure. See,

130
00:05:47.379 --> 00:05:50.240
what I like about that is when you have a

131
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.730
situation like yours, I like that a band kind of

132
00:05:54.829 --> 00:05:58.569
evolves from that instead of trying to keep it exactly

133
00:05:58.629 --> 00:06:02.410
the same. Because you're not going to. You know, you

134
00:06:02.470 --> 00:06:07.639
can't replace that person that's gone. You can only honor

135
00:06:08.019 --> 00:06:11.300
that person that's gone. So I love the evolving of

136
00:06:11.339 --> 00:06:12.550
the music. That's right.

137
00:06:12.930 --> 00:06:15.850
I mean, you know, anytime we do a live show,

138
00:06:15.930 --> 00:06:18.490
there's inevitably going to be one comment that says, you'll

139
00:06:18.509 --> 00:06:20.069
never be Tyson to Albert.

140
00:06:20.250 --> 00:06:23.610
And the truth is, no one will. Like, 100%. Like,

141
00:06:23.870 --> 00:06:24.829
we get that.

142
00:06:25.370 --> 00:06:29.029
But we will never try to replace Tyson either. This

143
00:06:29.110 --> 00:06:33.379
is something completely different. And we acknowledge that. And we

144
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.000
hope that this music still resonates. We get to honor

145
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.110
Tyson by playing those songs. And hopefully we continue to

146
00:06:39.149 --> 00:06:43.519
make music that resonates and other people have too. But

147
00:06:43.579 --> 00:06:46.639
to say that it could be or should be or

148
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.149
we should attempt to do that, I'm not buying it.

149
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.129
Exactly. It's kind of like what happened with Linkin Park

150
00:06:54.149 --> 00:06:57.709
in the beginning with Em. Like, you're not going to

151
00:06:57.769 --> 00:07:01.189
replace Chester. Why are people thinking there should be somebody

152
00:07:01.310 --> 00:07:05.139
more like Chester? And I actually, unpopular opinion, think it

153
00:07:05.180 --> 00:07:08.680
was smart of them to pick somebody that was not

154
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.699
like Chester. Just like, I love Chester. But when he

155
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:17.000
sang for Stone Temple Pilots, I didn't like it. Why?

156
00:07:17.019 --> 00:07:19.779
Because he tried to be Scott Weiland. Just be Chester.

157
00:07:20.379 --> 00:07:23.519
You know? And that's the key. And I think, like,

158
00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:26.910
you need to be you. and the band needs to

159
00:07:26.970 --> 00:07:30.879
be who the band is now with you, there's nothing

160
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.560
you can do to change what happened.

161
00:07:33.139 --> 00:07:37.000
Yeah, because as Pujol was saying, there's always comments of

162
00:07:37.019 --> 00:07:39.629
people like they should just find someone else that sounds

163
00:07:39.649 --> 00:07:42.889
like Tyson, or they should try to sound more like

164
00:07:42.910 --> 00:07:47.110
the original singer. But my intention isn't not to replace

165
00:07:47.149 --> 00:07:50.139
him or not to replicate him. He is a whole...

166
00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:52.939
thing of his own. He has his whole era. He

167
00:07:52.980 --> 00:07:56.740
has his whole thing. He made tons of people so

168
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:58.439
happy and involved with Scary Kids.

169
00:07:58.459 --> 00:08:00.250
Scary Kids along with you guys back in the day.

170
00:08:00.269 --> 00:08:03.769
Mind Tension isn't here to come here to replicate it

171
00:08:03.829 --> 00:08:06.850
or replace or diminish what he was. It's here to

172
00:08:06.889 --> 00:08:08.990
celebrate it and continue on what he created.

173
00:08:09.550 --> 00:08:11.660
And hopefully the fans will see that.

174
00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:15.139
And I would think people would think you wouldn't want

175
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:19.019
to replicate it because It's kind of like the same

176
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:25.079
as plagiarizing. It's like, why are you... Listen, people would

177
00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:28.079
bitch no matter what. You'd bring somebody on just like

178
00:08:28.100 --> 00:08:31.660
them and they're like, well, why are you doing that?

179
00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:36.090
You're ruining... That was him and you're stealing from him.

180
00:08:36.769 --> 00:08:40.730
So my viewpoint is make yourselves happy and you'll have

181
00:08:40.769 --> 00:08:43.590
your tribe. Because if you try to make anybody else happy,

182
00:08:43.629 --> 00:08:44.970
you'll never make everybody happy.

183
00:08:45.029 --> 00:08:45.470
Exactly.

184
00:08:45.490 --> 00:08:46.149
I agree with that.

185
00:08:47.090 --> 00:08:47.269
Yep.

186
00:08:47.990 --> 00:08:48.190
Yep.

187
00:08:48.370 --> 00:08:49.210
What's your feelings?

188
00:08:49.809 --> 00:08:56.240
Yeah, I think it is obviously hard having, you know,

189
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.879
when the vocalist is a very big part of a

190
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:03.379
group's identity, it's hard to kind of have a new one.

191
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:05.299
But I don't know.

192
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.559
I'm just really proud of Albert and everything he's done

193
00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:13.080
to drive our band and kind of form this identity

194
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.080
that we have now. We're all very good friends and

195
00:09:16.710 --> 00:09:20.100
I think we're all really proud of this moment that

196
00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:22.519
we have together. I feel like every album that you

197
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.340
release as an artist is kind of like a bookmark

198
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:29.539
of where you are at that time. So when we

199
00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:32.610
play the old songs, we're kind of celebrating those moments.

200
00:09:33.190 --> 00:09:35.909
And when we play this new stuff, we're celebrating these

201
00:09:35.970 --> 00:09:39.070
new moments. And yeah, it's just cool when we get

202
00:09:39.110 --> 00:09:41.169
to play all these sets and kind of mix them

203
00:09:41.190 --> 00:09:41.690
all together.

204
00:09:41.789 --> 00:09:44.100
And yeah, it's been fun.

205
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:45.899
And the way I look at it, what I was

206
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.889
thinking of is, after time, all that chatter will go away.

207
00:09:49.909 --> 00:09:53.190
Because I think about the other night, and I think

208
00:09:53.250 --> 00:09:57.730
about Iron Maiden playing, and they start to set off

209
00:09:57.769 --> 00:10:03.669
with Rothschild, which was Baldy. And Bruce has never tried

210
00:10:03.710 --> 00:10:11.590
to sing Rothschild like Baldiano. And self-included, original Iron Maiden

211
00:10:11.669 --> 00:10:16.220
fan that was from Baldiano days, when Bruce took over,

212
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:21.009
at first... Like, I liked it, but I didn't want

213
00:10:21.029 --> 00:10:23.750
to like it. And it was like, you know, I

214
00:10:24.210 --> 00:10:27.590
didn't want it to be replacing Deano. And even though

215
00:10:27.610 --> 00:10:31.850
it's a different scenario, he didn't pass away. But still,

216
00:10:32.350 --> 00:10:35.259
everybody hated that they made the change just like any

217
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:40.639
other band. But now Bruce, over all the years, made

218
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:45.240
it his own. And Iron Man became bigger than ever.

219
00:10:46.210 --> 00:10:46.379
So.

220
00:10:47.350 --> 00:10:52.269
Maybe that's what you guys will do, but while I'm

221
00:10:52.470 --> 00:10:58.289
honoring Tyson. So that you're making it bigger not because

222
00:10:58.669 --> 00:11:01.600
Tyson is gone and you want to make it better,

223
00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:05.159
but because you want to honor when he was here

224
00:11:05.539 --> 00:11:06.440
and while he's gone.

225
00:11:07.820 --> 00:11:12.299
I love that take. That's awesome. And yeah, I think

226
00:11:12.340 --> 00:11:17.649
that's it. I think bands create the music. And have

227
00:11:17.690 --> 00:11:20.470
their own idea of identity of what that music is. Yeah.

228
00:11:20.590 --> 00:11:22.629
The fans have a completely different sense of that. People

229
00:11:22.649 --> 00:11:27.480
who hear the music, myself included, I have an idea

230
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:29.159
of what I want that band to be from now

231
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:31.100
on because I know what made me connect to them

232
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.539
in the time that I listened to them. I have

233
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:36.019
that relationship with Radiohead. I think everyone has a different

234
00:11:36.059 --> 00:11:37.320
favorite Radiohead album, right?

235
00:11:37.340 --> 00:11:37.840
Right, right.

236
00:11:38.179 --> 00:11:40.840
It's the one usually that they discovered first. But I

237
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.129
feel like about the hate that transfers, people didn't like

238
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.120
our second full-length album because it didn't sound like the

239
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.049
first full-length album, the self-titled album. And now it's got

240
00:11:53.090 --> 00:11:56.009
more plays on it than the first one. And it's

241
00:11:56.049 --> 00:12:00.049
like you can't make music for other people or listen

242
00:12:00.110 --> 00:12:01.090
to too much of that.

243
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:03.440
And I've said this a lot.

244
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.840
It's like because then you're going to make yourself unhappy

245
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.750
no matter whether they love it or they hate it.

246
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.360
And the worst-case scenario is it's like a double negative.

247
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.480
You hate it, they hate it, or you're just not

248
00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:15.710
connecting with it. And they hate it, not saying you're

249
00:12:15.730 --> 00:12:17.990
going to write something that you hate. But what if

250
00:12:18.009 --> 00:12:19.570
they love it and you've got to play this music

251
00:12:19.610 --> 00:12:22.210
that you always knew was contrived or you always knew

252
00:12:22.230 --> 00:12:24.889
was you were writing for someone else. But I think

253
00:12:24.929 --> 00:12:27.809
more importantly than that, I don't think it's possible. I

254
00:12:29.149 --> 00:12:33.009
don't think it's really possible to write really great music

255
00:12:33.490 --> 00:12:37.210
if you are not connecting with it in the writing room.

256
00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:38.309
Absolutely.

257
00:12:38.309 --> 00:12:39.009
100%.

258
00:12:39.009 --> 00:12:43.710
And we know it. We can tell. Like I always say,

259
00:12:43.769 --> 00:12:48.090
music's a transfer of emotion. So if you're not putting

260
00:12:48.129 --> 00:12:51.129
your own emotion into it, how are we going to

261
00:12:51.610 --> 00:12:55.629
attach to it? That's why you can't write music that

262
00:12:55.809 --> 00:12:57.350
doesn't come from inside.

263
00:12:58.009 --> 00:12:59.389
I agree with that wholeheartedly, yeah.

264
00:12:59.710 --> 00:13:01.649
You can always tell when someone's on stage faking it

265
00:13:01.700 --> 00:13:04.269
or when they just telephoned it in on an album.

266
00:13:04.289 --> 00:13:05.279
You can always tell, yeah.

267
00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:06.559
A hundred percent.

268
00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:08.820
It feels like Broadway at that point.

269
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.460
Right? Yeah, there you go.

270
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:14.100
Embodying something else or someone else. It doesn't feel raw.

271
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:19.820
Exactly. Exactly. And, you know, so I just say always,

272
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.039
you be the artist you want to be and you'll

273
00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:26.320
attract your tribe. And whoever doesn't like it won't be

274
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:27.799
part of the tribe. That's all. 100%.

275
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:28.100
Yeah.

276
00:13:28.259 --> 00:13:29.899
You just got to be yourself at the end of

277
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:31.159
the day in all aspects of life.

278
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:31.759
Exactly.

279
00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:32.860
Otherwise, what is the point of life?

280
00:13:34.289 --> 00:13:34.690
No doubt.

281
00:13:34.990 --> 00:13:35.230
Yeah.

282
00:13:35.850 --> 00:13:38.610
So is there anything else you want to touch on

283
00:13:38.730 --> 00:13:41.440
or let the listeners know that we haven't covered already?

284
00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:42.740
I don't think so.

285
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:44.120
No.

286
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:45.179
Oh, yeah.

287
00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:46.179
Yeah. We talked about it.

288
00:13:46.179 --> 00:13:47.840
We're going to we're going to release that some of

289
00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:50.720
we're going to release some of that heavier stuff next week.

290
00:13:50.740 --> 00:13:54.259
We're hopefully I think hopefully the people that like it

291
00:13:54.299 --> 00:13:56.850
love it. You know, those people who connect with it,

292
00:13:56.909 --> 00:13:59.330
we hope they connect with it as deeply as we

293
00:13:59.370 --> 00:13:59.909
connect with it.

294
00:14:00.730 --> 00:14:03.750
And because you deeply connect with it, I think that

295
00:14:03.789 --> 00:14:05.269
definitely will happen for sure.

296
00:14:05.629 --> 00:14:07.389
Yeah, they better. Damn it.

297
00:14:10.549 --> 00:14:13.789
You heard me. You better like that music or you

298
00:14:13.870 --> 00:14:15.470
can't listen to my show.

299
00:14:16.470 --> 00:14:17.210
Exactly.

300
00:14:18.090 --> 00:14:20.669
Well, thanks a lot for being here at Louder Than Life.

301
00:14:20.850 --> 00:14:22.850
And thanks for being on the Adventures of Pipe Man.

Yes, thank you for having us.

Appreciate it, brother.

My pleasure.
