Merry Christmas From PipemanRadio. Let’s celebrate Jersey Music & More

0:04 Hi, good lunto censure for see Why Were You Young? Why Kind of America? It's time for the Adventures of Nightmare on W four C. Why do com with pomp beats his number one internet radio station. Here's your host, No light man. New York is great, pulling his soul. New Jersey has more passion than you could ever know. Will you Gone, Gone Gone?

0:46 I think there's a Jersey attitude and John has it, and Bruce and we all do. It's that idea that no one is going to hold us back. We are not going to be laughed at way or be respected. You go through those records, you go through those lyrics. That's real. You can't have anything that really hits people unless it's authentic. There's a difference between Jersey and New York City if you're actually in there and involved and spending as much time in both states I have. It's night day. If you drive through New Jersey, you're going to drive through a microcosma the entire United States. Window bland.

1:26 You can see if you've got a group of people willing to make it their number one priority and go all in. Do you want to honor your scene. Seeing other people do It kind of inspired me to think, like, yeah, maybe I could, maybe I. Could give this a shot. Once you start getting into bands and share the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, you are fortunate. To be able to make music for a living and you better kick ass every time on stage. Eras of artists, painters, musicians tend to crop up together. We were in direct competition with all the bands from New York and Philly and it was great because we won.

2:07 It's New Jersey Man, they love their music. This is pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm here with our next guest who This is a pre killer interview for me because I'm a Jersey boy from all over Jersey. I'm a total total Jersey boy. So we're going to talk about a Jersey Sound documentary with Randy Dominguez. So welcome to the show. Thank you, But I really appreciate you having me on the show. An opportunity to talk about a film that is very close and dear to my heart.

2:47 Yeah, it's close and dear in my heart. My story is pretty funny because I grew up in Jersey till nineteen eighty and then my. Dad came to my room. He's like, Hey, we're moving to California in three and so I it's so funny because that was the exact timing of the start of the eighties metal sunset strip scene. So I made it out of Jersey in time to get there to see the first Metallica show ever, only to move back to Jersey to go to Rutgers and find out about the old Big Bridge militia and all everybody telling me Metallica was from Jersey, and I kept saying to them, Yeah, they're from Jersey, after they were from the Bay Area, after they were from LA.

3:37 It's one of those interesting, uh you know, ownership things. You know, if you're from the Bay Area, well this is where they really got their start. But you know, you always have to look at origins. It's really an interesting points because a number of musicians who really either were born or grew up in New Jersey or transition to New Jersey and created music here. I think we're influenced by the. History of the prior musicians and what they brought to the table, you know. Interesting. In a number of conversations that I've heard, both Bruce and Bon Jovi talk about how certain musicians influence their lives, whether you're talking about Sinatra or you're talking about something more current like Southside Johnny, who is absolutely superb in the film. I think it really gives you a sense of the diversity that's actually here, the music that grew in New Jersey. And that's really what I was hoping to accomplish and getting this film out, is to let people know that New Jersey isn't just about you know, Bruce or Banjoe, who.

4:47 Are absolutely marvelous. They're superb. They brought a lot to the music world, not just to New Jersey. I just wanted to accentuate that they're an extension of our history. Yeah. Absolutely, And you know that's another funny scenario two. Like I worked at I was a manager of Harrow's on Route nine, so of course that's home area of bon Jovie. So I knew a lot of people that knew him and went to high school women and used to see him like at the Wendy's why you would go get lunch and stuff. Usain lived nearby in Jersey, but now he lives in the same town as my studio in Wellington, Florida.

5:30 Because his daughter's a equestrian and it's a big equestrin area. So where our studio is the gym that used to be there, that's where he used to hang out and work out and stuff like that. So it's like, you know, they're all from Jersey, but everybody knows them. Again going back to home where home is, but Jersey really is home to me, I can say that. I think that really resonates a lot. I have a number of friends so that I've developed or become engaged with in Nashville, and a number of them all originated from New Jersey. In fact, Mark Maulch, who's my music supervisor and in his own right, it's actually really quite a good musician. He resides now in Nashville, but he comes back to New Jersey every so often to sort of visit with his family. And some of the discussions that we've had, including with the likes of Steve Brown from Trickster and others that I've had the great pleasure and opportunity to meet, it really resonates how this is their roots that's never forgotten. It was interesting in one of the interviews that Steve Brown had, in one of the lines he talks about how he went to I think it was La to do it taping for you know, one of their records, and while there what he discovered, and this is in the in the movie that there's a completely different frame of mind.

6:59 He said. And out of California it's the musicians are what can you do for me? Whereas in Jersey, and this actually resonates throughout the movie, it's what each of the musicians can do for each other. One of the very hardwhelming stories, and this actually came out a couple of times, is that a particular group might have just finished a set. But if you remember back in the seventies, the club scene that literally there was a club scene around the corner, and so they would finish, they eight run around the corner or to a couple of blocks to get to the other club, just to listen to that other group who was singing, and they would help each other critique or support, whichever the case was, to help them become better and so that they knew they just weren't there alone.

7:49 It's interesting during the club scene, you know, you have these masses of young people going on to the clubs, getting drunk, hanging out, partying, which was the whole idea. And but but it was their love of music, not just to go out and enjoy an evening out of you know, hanging out drinking with their buddies and girlfriends. But it was really more about really enjoying the music. That whole vibe created such a momentum. It lasted for a little over ten years until, of course, to change they raised the drinking age again. Yeah, just in time for me, I think, because when I got back to Jersey like great, now I have to wait. Yeah, And you know, it's interesting. I find it the different what you just said about the differences, and I think is the differences in personalities when you grow up in Jersey post anywhere else. As somebody that moved to LA to start high school, Like what a culture shock that was. I think I would have had less culture shock moving to Europe. It was so different.

8:59 And that Sunset strip scene. Yeah, it was like what all about me? The typical LA scene, whereas Jersey people, you know, it's it's funny you go other places and people have this misconception of what New Jersey is and Jersey people are, but we are like the most loyal people that are there to help each other. Yes, sarcasm is our second language, but we also understand each other with that. It's not you know, you go. Other places you're sarcastic and people think, oh, you're rude or you're a jerk off or whatever, and really it's just showing love, you know, like you're not sarcastic with somebody you don't like, and you know you'll be You'll give them crap one minute, but then you'll have their back the next minute.

9:50 And that's a Jersey person. Yeah, I think it's interesting. I can capitalize it with one of the interviews, and this actually became our team's mantra. In one of the south Side interviews, he comes os a it's an attitude when you and I think we wanted to exploit that a little because even my narrator, Mike Greenblatt, who I thought did an awesome job. He also scripted the narration, and who's a huge music He's an editor. He worked for the Aquarium magazine back during that time. He was actually at excuse me, he was actually at Woodstock when.

10:33 He was eighteen years old. He took about that. So he's got an amazing breath of experience that. He brought to this and he really kind of brought it into how we were the sort of the middle child between Pennsylvania and New York or Philadelphia, New York City, and how. We ourselves stand out on our own two feet. But in a way that it sort of implies it, we complimented each other. You know. There was a three different music scenes, but somehow they work together. Because they were East Coast, there were more integration between the musical groups that wasn't advertise. Sorry, what's so what I'm looking for confrontational scenarios. It was really more about kind of support, and I think New Jersey exemplifies that. It was interesting during the filming. I don't know if you heard all of His name is Unicorn one fifty one. He's a young hip hop, really up and coming, absolutely dynamic individual.

11:42 He's brought a whole new scene of a way to represent music. It's about sort of free dance, it's about really very positive vibes kind of thing. And he was sitting next to me with his girlfriend and at the end of the film, I asked him, what did you think. He said, I've learned so much that I didn't know about the New Jersey music scene, and that was very gratifying to me because this is what we wanted to do. We wanted to highlight that New Jersey has really transcended all genres. All time periods. We have moved along with each of them, and within each of those periods, with even the genres, there have been musicians, exceptional musicians who have come.

12:32 Out of this that and have such great stories. I think one of my favorites is Aldamiola, who talks about you know, I don't want to give it up everything in the scene, but he has this great, great anecdote about him and his father and how he actually got to. Sing God, what was it? Sorry, I've got so much going on my brain. I'm thinking about Carnegie Hall and how excited he was and his father. There's a punchline in there that's actually really quite humorous in newly At, which he explains in a prior interview. So I think there's so many really fun stories that we have.

13:14 There were more, but to encapsulate this in a way that individuals, you know, And my thought wasn't this movie just wasn't made for New Jersey and New Jersey musicians and New Jersey residents. This movie was made to make the world aware that New Jersey isn't just. A flower capital. It isn't just an industrial state in Southern Jersey. There's really so much more culture, so much history. I think my team and I have to give credit if I may. Monica Mainsling, my associate producer, I said Mark Bulch, my music supervisor, Ryan Hanready, who is a young editor who really come to fruition. He was very impactful in putting this film together. Mike Greenblat, who's also the editor of my website, Thejerseysound dot com.

14:14 He's also added quite a bit. And there are other. Individuals Jason Brickaw, who is the manages all my social media sets. All of this group work together, and I think it was very representative of musicians in New Jersey. It was about. Coming out what a final product that would resonate to people in Germany, they would resonate to. People in Brazil. You know, we've got. Plans to transition to into other languages, you know, as we move forward. But it was just kind of really cool. One of the interesting things in my sales agent, I'm sorry, my sales agent, Mark Breweder said to me, there are a couple of companies who are interested.

15:04 In producing CDs. I honestly at the time, I thought, well, kind of CDs are out? He said, no, no, that there are a number of large number of schools that they work with. And when I thought. About it, you know how many schools have music curriculums, whether it be not just universities or colleges, but also high schools who really want to be able to showcase, you know, this particular sector of the world. I think this documentary can give really a good educational back overlook into what Jersey music. But it isn't just about Jersey music.

15:44 I think New Jersey is representative of music all throughout. It just happens to be that we have an attitude with others. Gone there you go, And to your point, it's so true a couple of points that you've made. One is one thing I learned being in both the LA music scene and the Jersey music scene is you're absolutely one hundred percent correct. And that's one of the reasons bands like Metallic and Slayer left LA and went to the Bay Area because we didn't all play along at all, Like even within the same genre. It was like, oh if you like this type of rock or this type of metal, or this type of punk or new wave or that, Like you were all in these clicks, whereas I didn't find that in Jersey. Like, yeah, we banded together if you were a certain genre, but you were also supportive of other genres, liked other genres, and you know it. It is representative of music as a whole.

16:46 And then to your point between of New Jersey, like you know, you go to the rest of the country or even the rest of the world, and they lump New Jersey together with Philly and New York, like we're all one people, one area, and if you're from there, you realize there's similarities. But were vastly different, you know. And you know, so I'm glad that you're bringing out this documentary not just because of music, but to show the world what Jersey really is all about. And even if you step outside of music, like I've always talked about and I saw this in the press release for the documentary, it's like you, if you wanted to visit every part of the United States, all you have to do is be in Jersey. In that small little state, we have every geography and every makeup that is all over the US.

17:38 I think. I think you're right. One of the interesting facts that were in early on is that there are more musicians per capita in the state of New Jersey than in any other state in the country. And once that resonated with me, I started to work with my director of Fuvial Cesario into trying to discover exactly what that meant. And as we progressed and started to realize the breath and scope. I mean, one of the things I didn't get an opportunity. To highlight as much here as I wanted to is the Lily Polani Indians who migrated here from South Carolina and created a.

18:19 Whole sort of really cultural air group. In fact, where I live in Bergen County in northern New Jersey, there is actually a whole area that's really. Resonates quite a bit to have schools and things that. Really there's a hittory behind that, and they were the first known group to create any kind of music in New Jersey, and so I mean, of course it's really more part of their rituals. We did try to capture some of that, but it's just it's very difficult in a ninety minute film to capture all of that. We're looking to do more episodes to really enhance the viewing experience and did really give more of a background of what New Jersey's about. But I needed to be able to come out something within somewhat a timeframe. There was we had some struggles of technical issues like everybody does, like but we like I said, my team.

19:17 Is absolutely incredible. I am. I am very very fortunate that I have them and I've been able to associate with and that we as a collaborative effort, were able to create such an incredible piece. And it did create an incredible piece. It's amazing. I think everybody has to check it out. Speaking which how do they get to your website, your socials and be able to either buy or watch the documentary, check out the trailer everything. So right now, my website is www dot The Jerseysound, no spaces, no caps, dot com. My instagram is just simply The Jersey Sound, no spaces, all small caps. You through that you'll be able to connect. Now through my website, you can take a look at trailers. My website also has a link to tob that also.

20:16 You know that you can access that. That's and also we just recently were picked up by Amazon, so Amazon, you can just chick on Amazon again. We've kept it very simple. The Jersey Sound. You can type that in, it'll take you to the website. It's available for rental and purchase however you prefer to have. There are some people that I've talked to us that we want to keep this in our library because we want this to resonate. Interesting enough, I've add some number of friends with kids ages from you know, seven to seventeen, and I said, you know, I'd love to hear their feedback, and really kind of interesting that most of them, I would say about ninety percent of them have said they really enjoyed the movie.

21:01 That it was it was entertaining. I think it's one of the words that one of the kids used. And that was very gratifying to me because I didn't want to make a documentary about a lot. Of people talking. You know, the talking hits just doesn't make allow people. We wanted to create a story. We wanted to have a beginning in middle in the end, and it ended up that south Side. It's just an incredible individual and he really I see, I think almost personifies New Jersey music. I think we use them as their vehicle, and we worked closely with them word use them as a vehicle to really kind of create the nexus for the story.

21:46 And we were able to then to and create a sort of add additional of the supplementary to the things that really give body and. Scope to the film. Nice and yeah, it's great that you brought up about, you know, the younger generation, because they weren't there way back when, so you if it was it was boring, they would tell you. So the fact that they said it's. Entertaining, that's a huge kudos because a lot of documentaries are boring, especially if it's only entertaining to the person that like lived it, like somebody like me. It's like home movies, so it's entertaining. But some kid might not like home movies at home much less.

22:33 So say that again, I said, no, I absolutely agree. Interesting because I'm very fortunate. I have a son, I have two grandchildren, a granddaughter and a grandson, and I have a great grandson. Wo. Yeah, I let's just say that I started very young, and I am very pleased with all of my kids and family. They all resonate all my I asked all my kids obviously they're biased, but they all enjoyed the movie. They said, we really had fun with it. That was something that kind of resonated to me. I do want to mention because anybody who's interested Mark Bruder from BRI is our licensing agent. So if anybody is interested in reaching out, they can certainly come through me through my website and we can give them the contact information if they're interested in getting involved in the film at anyway.

23:37 Nice and is there anything else you want to let the listeners know that we haven't covered already that they need to know. So I was born in Cuba, right, I came over in November of fifty nine. I grew up on the West Side. Of Manhattan the sixties and the seventies, and New. Jersey was to me almost like a foreign country because. That in the seventies it was you know, the different club scenes and things like that. But I always wondered why is it? And part of it is because I was young. I didn't have a car. I love New York City scene back in that day. You know, I was dirt poort, so I couldn't afford to go anywhere, and living in New York City it was a mecca of everything. But once I moved to New Jersey, I got married, moved to New Jersey, I was able now to experience a different perspective, and that was resonated with me. How do I explain my ignorance back in the sixties and seventies to the transitioning and allowing everyone else to know that New Jersey isn't the middle the young child between Philly and New York. New Jersey stands out And it's really what I think we were able to accomplish is to tell this story of a geographic area within the US that not only resonates here in East Coast, but resonites

25:09 around the world. And that's what I hope that I had achieved, by the way, not just name me and my team. That's right and no doubt, And I'm thankful for you doing that, because you know how many times throughout the years I've tried to explain to people or that they are like you know, or there's people that go to different places and they're from Jersey and they claim New York instead of Jersey, you know, because they're embarrassed to say Jersey or whatever. And I always say to people, listen, New Jersey is not Newark Airport. Okay, everybody thinks that's what New Jersey is. Ok And even okay, you take a place like Asbury, Like I lived on the other side of deal lay in Asbury in Ocean Town, and when I lived there, you didn't really cross the other side of the lake. But when I was a kid, kid who grew up in North Jersey, you know, we went to Asbury Park as a kid. It was like one of my favorite memories. And now once again Asbury is a destination, you know, because they renovated it. But how many people would know that. They may think of the Asbury of old and stuff like that. I think people really need to watch this documentary, visit Jersey and they'll get a whole different thing.

26:21 Because you're right. I was born in New York, grew up in Jersey, and I'm the type of person that I love New York City to go to and I love Jersey to live in. I agree complete, I think that really fits it in a nutshell. In fact, a lot of people during unfortunately COVID moved out of New York into New Jersey because they wanted a little safety of not having as many people around and that was really a crazy period. Fortunately we moved on from there. But I think what is shown is that New Jersey has a lot more to offer than just simply a safe haven or more of our rural New Jersey really is more of a cosmopolitan state that most people don't really understand. Whether you have Hoboken, Ashbury Park, there's so many other places that really resonate with not just music, but with cultural identity. Some of the towns have a lot of historical significance. I think that really adds to the flavor of the state and why there are actually a lot of people that really want to come and visit.

27:34 And I find that, you know, anybody I've ever met that's from Jersey, you know, basically has a love of New Jersey, the pride of in all that more than any other area in the United States. I think it's like it's just a thing that we're so proud of. Right and it is part because I think we understand our culture where we have some great sports colleges and obviously teams in New Jersey, but it is not a state about sports, although it does resonate big for all for a lot of people, but it's also a state of the culture, of the of the cop of the the the even for such things as what's the you know, the garden state. There's a reason why they call it the garden State. I didn't find that out to the first year. I came back from my honeymoon and we came back I think it was late April, and we see all these of this flowering and we're going azaleas.

28:35 It's only going all over the place, and we're going, oh my god, this is why they call it the garden state. Flowers. It's really amazing. So and that really kind of opened up a door for me and as well as other people who come in here and are able to experience the four seats. That's the other thing that I enjoyed. We do have four seasons. There are states like in the Midwest, northern Midwest that effectively have two seats of winter in summer and very little in between. We do have the opportunity we have. Such great play, whether you're going of state New Jersey and going hiking or going through some of the different areas that allow for that, or you're going down to the Jersey Shore. I do want to mention we held a private event. It had to be private for a number of reasons. On June twenty fifth, down in Ashbury Park at the House of Independence.

29:30 They were absolutely terrific. And we loved the venue because it was sort of almost theater life in the way the speed the threats was set up and I had a little over one hundred and twenty five people showed up. At least seventy five to eighty were musicians for people involved in the film. I was so humbled by. Their comments, their hugs, their handshakes. They're thanking me creating something and you can see it in their eyes and the twinkle of their smiles that said, we finally have something that tells the story of who we really are.

30:14 Yeah, and there it is that is right there that says it all about the attitude, the loyalty, the everything of the Jersey Sound and how everybody just supports each other. And that's what I love most about the Jersey Sound. Same here. Well, pipe man, I got to say, I'm really grateful for you taking your time to give me the opportunity to talk a little bit about the film and about my team, and more importantly about the state that has a really incredible attitude and a passion for each other.

30:55 Absolutely, and I thank you for bringing this about and everybody's definitely gotta check out the documentary. It is to be blunt, badass and whether you're from Jersey or you're from Australia, it's badass. So thank you very much for all the work you've done for this, for the scene, for New Jersey and everything, and thanks for being on the Adventures of pipe Man. Thank you very much, and I hope that you have a terrific rest of the year for you and your family. Same to you, all right, Thank you.

It is the pipe Man here on the Adventures Pipe n W four Cy Radio, and I'm here with an amazing musician and we're going to talk about what we have accomplished.

34:10 So let me welcome to the show. Marco Boykovic. Hi, everybody, it's close enough. It's Boikovich. I was see. I knew it, and I said it right in my head right before I said it too. But I'm glad you saved me because what I would originally said without any coaching is I would probably pronounced I would probably said bouche Vic or something like that. And I like, I think it's the worst thing to butcher somebody's name. So that's why I have two techniques. One is to talk to you before the thing and find out how it is. But if I do it in person at like a festival or a concert, I'll have you introduce yourself.

34:58 So I'll just introduce the show and then I hand you to Mike and I'm here with and then I can't mispronounce the name. Well, Dean, I'm going to tell you this right now. Nobody feels the worse and mispronouncing names than me. Wow, well look at that. See, probably because you're sensitive to it because of your own name a little bit. Yeah, So first I want to start off where did it all start? Like, when was the first time that you knew this is what you were, that you were a musician period.

35:38 I don't know if this counts, but I think my earliest memory of getting into music was when I was playing Sonic Adventure on the Sega Dreamcast. I remember hearing the songs and all the pinch on minds that June Sinnoy would make, and I used to mimic them when I was little. But I started playing guitar a couple of years after that in two thousand and seven, and I was forced into doing ano lessons by my parents, as was my sister. And and you probably are happy about it now, but then it was like why do I have to do this? Yep? Well, it was more along the lines of why didn't you force me to start guitar? Right? Right?

36:20 So, so tell me a little bit about this new song because I love it because I love the message, okay, And I think the message and songs are very important. Some people don't even know the message. Sometimes they may think they know, so I always like to hear them from the artist. Yeah. So I was in a really dark place last year, a very dark time in my life. I found that I couldn't continue with an amazing group of friends that I made, and that was the most heartbroken I've ever been. Huh. I'm sure something like that's ever happened to you where you haven't You had an amazing group of friends, but you couldn't continue with them for whatever reason. Does ever happened to you before? Dean?

37:02 Yeah, I think it happens to everybody, you know. Yeah, it does. And we try to keep me going with them, but we didn't succeed at that. But what we did succeed with, however, is strengthening our friendship and that's another success end of itself. And that's what the song talks about nice well. And I think as we get older in life too, we learn better how to manage these things. And you know, you know, it's funny. When we're young, we think we know it all, and then we get older and we figure out we don't know crap.

37:44 So Dean, you probably we should go go back in time and say to your younger self, Yo, this is stupid. Don't do it right exactly. But you know what I also think of it is if I didn't do those stupid things, maybe I wouldn't get the things that I got later, or understand the thing. I think you need to do stupid things. The people that don't do it when they're younger, I think they tend to do it when they become become older. That's true, they do. That's why when you're young, you always hear people say, make these mistakes now because they don't know not to do them again. No doubt, And sometimes we make them a few more times after that. Yep.

38:24 So but I do dig it because I think anybody can take their own message from it. And to me, that's the idea of a good song, is that, yes, the artist has their meaning they put to it, but everybody else can put their own meaning to it. And I think that's what this does here. And you know, it's funny because we're talking on the radio and on podcast, but I'm also a motivational speaker, so that's why I like the mixture of my two greatest passions positivity, looking, evaluating what we've accomplished. And music.

39:04 Right there, you are speaking my language. Well, you even threw in gaming before, so it's like that's the I always say with life. I wish it was like a video game where you could hit the reset button when you screw up a level. That'd be nice. But you know, I'm sure there are some mistakes that you're glad you made, right, Oh. No doubt about it. And I'm and glad I had certain experiences that maybe I wouldn't have now. So I think that's something we look at too. You know. It's like there's certain things we do when we're younger that we would never do now, like for the first time or at all, you know, but we have the cool stories that we survived from.

39:52 Yep. So tell me how people. Can check out the new song, how they can connect you on social media, website, all that good stuff. Sure, I'm setting up a website right now, but I've got a couple other social media sites active. I have YouTube active. My name on it is just Marko B. Because no one wants to try to say my last name, including me. Instagram, I do have my phone name on there, but with Shreds guitar at the end, so you can hit me up on that as well. And I'm also on TikTok as Marco be a guitarist.

40:34 Okay, So what's your favorite TikTok that you've done so far? Hmm, favorite TikTok I've done so far? That's hard to say. I like all the tiktoks I've done so far. It's hard to me to choose a favorite. But I don't have too many non musical tiktoks. But I think my favorite non musical one was when I was feeling myself in front of the house where the Trueman Show was filmed, and I say the famous. Lot nice So that that's kind of like. Okay. So I go on tour and I do coverage for music festivals and one of them I do is Incarceration, which is at the Shawshank Prison, you know, or what was in the movie which was it was it's the Ohio State Reformatory, but it's closed and it's funny because I love that movie Shawshank Redemption.

41:28 Yeah. And my daughter she would ask me, like every festival I go to, She's like so are you excited for this festival. I'm like, I don't know if it excites the word. You know, when you're doing it, like every week, I love doing it. I don't know if excites the word. And then when I got to do Incarceration for the first time, I was on the prison yard of Shawshank Prison. I called her up. I'm like, now I'm excited. I'm on the prison yard of Shawshank And so, you know, it's pretty funny, like certain things that just stick with you. And then you know, I did go throughout the prison and you know, pretended like I was in the movie, you know, doing in different scenes.

42:09 So that's awesome, right, It's kind of cool. One morning I was outside taking a picture and some some other dudes like, hey, can you take my picture? And turns out he was you know, it's funny. It turned out he was winding to and wind the bands I was interviewing later in the day. He's like, look at us, we're fan buoying out on Shawshank Prison. That's amazing, right. So all right, so, speaking of. Video games, was that your favorite video game or do you have a different favorite video game? You mean Sonic the Hedgehog. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's my favorite of all time. Nice. Why because when you listen to that game's music, you swear that most of a Sonic game's budget goes towards.

42:54 It, right, And I think it is key in any video game that has killer music that actually makes sense and matches the game. Oh yeah, you know. Matt Hafey from Tribum actually said one time gaming and metal they go together. Really well, Oh, I have one hundred and there was You know, there's a lot of bands out there that you know, they they're gamers, so there's that gamer influence in it anyway, you know. And I mean honestly, I was a gamer before I was into music, and then I got into music. I just went hand in hand and I used to It's funny because back in the day I would blast my music through the guitar amplifier while I was playing the video game.

43:47 That's awesome, right, yeah. I mean my my neighbors didn't think it was awesome, but. But it was. Yeah exactly, No, not at all. So is there anything else you have coming up on the horizon that you want to tell the listeners about or anything that we haven't covered? So far. Yeah. On December twentieth, which is the same day Sonic Movie three comes out, I'm releasing a cover of a Sonic song. Nice. Yeah. The song I'm covering is Find Your Flame from the game's Sonic Frontiers. Have you played that game, Dean? That one? I don't think I've played that one.

44:28 You gotta play it. It's amazing. It's Sonic meets Breath of the Wild. Wow. I'll definitely have to check that out. That's cool. And so you're releasing it the same day that the movie's coming out. That's correct. That's badass. I love it. Are you excited for the new Sonic movie? Oh? Absolutely, you know, and there's not you know, there's not a lot of movies I ever get excited to go to a theater for. You know. It has to have to do with video games, music, or superheroes. Oh. I love superheroes too. Okay, So are you Marvel or DC? Hmm, Marvel. The only DC hero I really got into was Batman.

45:12 Okay, so I'm both Marvel and DC. It's but my favorite superheroes are Batman and Arrow because neither one of them have any metahuman powers. They're not aliens. They're they're just people. That's all choices, right, Yeah, sorry about that. Oh that's all right. So that was that was the batphone. Yeah, that was. So any final words you want to leave our listeners with? My favorite superheroes are spider Man, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and uh, if you can include groups the Guard of the Galaxy because we're talking about that now. I gotta let this out.

46:05 Are grouped, you know, it's funny about that. It's too bad. I'm not wearing the shirt. I have a shirt that has groot on it that says I am metal. I need that shirt. Yeah. They sell them at a lot of festivals, and I'd always look at it. I'm like, I need that I need and I finally boyd it. It is pretty badass. That's awesome, right. So what do you think of the newest movie with Wolverine and Deadpool. I loved it, so I thought it was pretty cool. But my dad hated it. You know, it's interesting. There's been so many mixed things, but I don't know, I'm kind of weird because I don't think there's any of the movies like that that I have not liked.

46:53 You know, there's always these people being critical. I'm like, it's kind of like with music, there's very little music I just don't like. I just think, you know, I have my favorites, obviously, but music is music. That's kind of my viewpoint. And you are a badass shredder, So thank you. I want to thank you for this new song and all that you do. And I hope everybody follows you and checks out the new song when it drops because that'll be cool too. So thanks a lot for doing that, and thanks for being on the Adventures of pipe Man. Thank you, Deane. And you know when the album's coming out, right, I tell us January twenty fourth.

47:37 Which you know what's funny about that? That was my mother's birthday, so I can really yeah, so look at that all these. Would you let me to send you a signed copy for your mom as a birthday present? Well she's not with us anymore, but hear that. Oh that's all right. You know, I'm fifty eight years old, so it's kind of normal almost at this way. It's weird, right, It's I'm like the patriarch of the family, so it's kind of weird to be at the top of the food chain, you know, you blink, and you go from me in twenty to top of the food chain. But I would definitely like the new album man. I would like you send me all the MP threes opened in the.
