Barson Nice from never More at Vakin. Oh Man, How

5
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.479
does it feel to be on the holy ground?

6
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:37.200
Absolutely unreal?

7
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.200
It is absolutely unreal, not just to be on the

8
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:47.560
hallowed grounds off Vakan, but to be here with never More.

9
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.079
It's it's an out of body experience, my.

10
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.759
Friend, right right, And I mean, like, we know that's

11
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:57.840
all over the world, even in the States. We know

12
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.159
that this is the place if you're if you're going

13
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.159
to play a gig at a festival, you want to

14
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.439
do it at Vakin. So what's your experience been so

15
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.000
far since you've been here. I've been hearing that the

16
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.640
artists are treated really well, which I think is important.

17
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.200
The best so far, the best so far far, whole too.

18
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.959
But like you said, this is the mecal metal right.

19
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:24.799
So I was.

20
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.719
Dreaming of this place since I was, like, I don't know,

21
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:31.920
thirteen fourteen, since I started listening and performing metal.

22
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.959
So this is this is mad.

23
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.599
So what was the first show you ever went to

24
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:44.400
at that point in life? Here Vakin? Was the first

25
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.200
show you went no, I know, no, no, no. At thirteen.

26
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.959
What was the first show you ever went to?

27
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.480
I don't know, man, it might be Metllica have.

28
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:58.760
Actually really yeah, nice, I went to their first show ever.

29
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:03.280
Oh okay, So what year was that that you went

30
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.439
to Metallica ninety eight? Ninety eight? Wow?

31
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:07.359
Yeah?

32
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:11.120
So is that what kind of changed your life to

33
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.439
make music like your thing? Or was there something else

34
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.960
that really in your life said this is what I

35
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:19.599
need to do?

36
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:20.280
Yeah?

37
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.919
I mean thanks to my mother, I grew up like

38
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:28.080
listening to Gary Moore, Pink Floyd, like the Doors, led

39
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:33.240
Zeppelin and the Purple like amazing bends like that.

40
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.599
So it already.

41
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.879
Brought me into that line, right into that life. And

42
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.960
so and after I heard Metallica's I think it was

43
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:46.879
a low album or something.

44
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:49.439
I said, what the fuck is this?

45
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:50.240
Right?

46
00:02:50.479 --> 00:03:00.360
Yeah, that changed my algorithm, as the cure say these.

47
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.759
I know, if we had algorithms back then, we might

48
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.680
not have Metallica today because like some of their best songs,

49
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:11.879
like Battery, they would never have waited long enough to

50
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.719
listen to that song, right, or like Fast as a Shark.

51
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.280
What an insane intro by the way, Battery, I know

52
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:20.120
you just.

53
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.280
Don't even expect what's about to come next, you.

54
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.759
Know, and just it beats you with a two by four.

55
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:32.360
That's right. So when's the first time you actually performed music?

56
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.560
Oh it was I think fifteen. It was a high

57
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:44.400
school like what do you call this high school band's battle?

58
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.199
Okay, yeah, battle of the band.

59
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:48.879
Battle of the bands? Yeah, exactly.

60
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.479
But the first time I started earning money was when

61
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.840
I was sixteen, when I was studying university in Ismir

62
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.400
and I had a band there. It was the first

63
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.479
time I ever got, you know, paid to scream my

64
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:06.000
head off.

65
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:08.879
What kind of feeling was that? Because I know you

66
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:10.520
don't forget that feeling, right.

67
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.879
See what I get paid doing this? Right? What it was,

68
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.839
by the way, it was just like scraps and stuff.

69
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:20.519
I mean still.

70
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.240
Still it doesn't matter because I can see in your

71
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.560
face too and your expressions that like you are a

72
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:33.040
true artist, because true artists have passion for the music.

73
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:37.279
Like what I found is real artists don't set out

74
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:38.920
and say, oh, I want to be a rock star.

75
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:41.399
They set out and I just want to play music.

76
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.360
Yeah, I just want to do this one. This is my.

77
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:48.240
Therapy, This is oh I love that I said that I.

78
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:53.079
Believe that being human is to create something totally.

79
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:54.040
You're not a.

80
00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:00.600
What defines to me as being humans to create It

81
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.240
doesn't matter how big or small it is, but you

82
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.639
have to create something good to get that out of

83
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.800
your system. So this is mine and I can live

84
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:10.399
without it.

85
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.879
And you said therapy, because that's a big thing for me,

86
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:18.959
because music's the best therapy there is for you the artists,

87
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.600
and for me the listener. Yeah, And like I'm here

88
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.279
at VAK in these past four days, I don't give

89
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.600
a crap what's going on in the world. We're one

90
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.000
big community family that you forget about all that and

91
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.240
you can just get everything out here.

92
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.399
If you checked out our show, that was exactly what

93
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.319
I said on stage.

94
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.879
Really what it's all about.

95
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.360
And I was doing an interview, so I didn't even remember.

96
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:45.399
What it's all about.

97
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:50.360
The brotherhood, the sisterhood, the community, all of us coming

98
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:51.920
together just to you know.

99
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.439
And there's no outsiders here.

100
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:59.839
Yeah, you know, And there's no judgment, there's no negativity.

101
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.000
I don't think the people outside of metal really understand.

102
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:08.519
They look at us and oh, these scary, the evil people.

103
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:13.279
Exactly, they see us like boogey monsters, right right. I

104
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.000
have a wife, I have a beautiful chat. I'm a

105
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.680
handsome cat jack.

106
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:18.600
My boy nice.

107
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:20.279
My daughter would like that.

108
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.920
Oh you're gonna see him. It's the prettiest thing ever.

109
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.680
That's my life. I don't chill anybody. I don't skin anybody.

110
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:31.600
I just.

111
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.839
I mean, every once in a while I may cook.

112
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:37.800
Someone on the grill.

113
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.720
But that's just the people I hate.

114
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.399
They're the ones that are in the marsh pit trying

115
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.639
to hurt and name people. Those are the ones I

116
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.720
want to hurt, because that's not what the pit's all about.

117
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.920
The pit is the place to get everything out there.

118
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:59.040
And the best pit is hearing voking, because you can

119
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:03.839
see nobody touches or nobody like hits anybody. They were

120
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.680
all just running around the circle, having fun, carrying each other.

121
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:09.680
Even Did you see that? I didn't.

122
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.279
But early in the day I went out.

123
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.600
To waste tell you how beautiful it looks.

124
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.720
I saw a Celtic band playing an evanescent song in

125
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.120
Wasteland and there was a circle pit. It looked like

126
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.439
the most fun circle pit ever.

127
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:28.879
Yeah, I think it, you know.

128
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.959
And that's what it's about. The pit to me, is

129
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:34.920
the place I could get all my ship out that

130
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.560
I don't kick somebody's ass outside in the outside world,

131
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:39.920
then I'm chill dude.

132
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:45.120
Music and lifting weights is the only things that keeps

133
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.000
me from being a serial killer.

134
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.319
There you go. Look that funny. You should say that

135
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:54.120
because I just did Milwaukee Metal Fest a while back

136
00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:01.879
and I was interviewing chop Top with the Ambassador Help Hotel,

137
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.199
the Dahmer Hotel behind me as the dock drop.

138
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.959
What the fuck? Yes, that's amazing.

139
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:12.959
And now next week I'm gonna make sure that I

140
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.240
have your set and not an interview, because I've had

141
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.600
like four interviews. I haven't even left that press step.

142
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:24.199
But next week you're gonna be a bloodstock. And I

143
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:25.600
love that festival too.

144
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:26.519
I can't wait for that.

145
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.279
Now, have you I don't even know. Have you guys

146
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:30.079
played that before?

147
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:31.480
I never did.

148
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.000
Really, here you guys.

149
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:40.200
Guys probably did. Probably this is never more. They played

150
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:44.960
everything everywhere I remember it normal.

151
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.519
It was too much fun, right, Yeah.

152
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.159
But I'm so excited for it because I have a

153
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:55.720
family and friends living in the UK, so I at

154
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.039
the same time I get to you know, visit them

155
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.919
and see them like in the crowd, which is some

156
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.799
of them never seen me on stage, So it's gonna

157
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:05.360
be amazing.

158
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:07.960
Do you want to talk about Vodkin.

159
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:09.919
If you want me to?

160
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:12.159
Yeah, I didn't know if you want to, So.

161
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.080
Well, it's not my first time here, so I've done

162
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.840
it a few times and it just gets bigger and

163
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.919
it gets better. I know some of the people behind

164
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:23.720
the Vokin thing, and they're all great people, and they've

165
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:28.200
brought this, They've built a whole community of what they

166
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:32.120
They seen a dream, they seen their vision and it

167
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.159
just falls into the line of work that we do.

168
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.200
So being a part of this whole thing is one

169
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:42.279
of the best things ever. Like our guitar player, Jack Katoy,

170
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:46.440
he's fucking phenomenal guitar player and a second guitar player.

171
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.080
Now his parents are here. They're from the States, and

172
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.360
I'm like, yeah, it's gonna be the best thing you've

173
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.600
ever seen. You're not gonna see fights, You're not going

174
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:56.559
to see some dragging people out.

175
00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.440
You know, maybe you might see a guy pugin somewhere,

176
00:09:59.480 --> 00:09:59.840
but I don't.

177
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.759
I haven't that happens, or pissing on the couch.

178
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:04.320
That's gonna happen.

179
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.000
But it's probably the coolest festival that you could be

180
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.240
a part of. And the metal community once again is tremendous.

181
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.080
And for a place like this to bring everyone together

182
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.720
for this, I mean, this is what it's all about.

183
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.879
Everyone here is a friend and a family member that

184
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.519
you don't even know. You can just walk over and going, man,

185
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.840
I love Overkilled. My guy's got no Overkill shirt. And

186
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.120
you're bros already. The guy has seen a guy with

187
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.000
a rush tattoo already, And I'm like, dad, I love

188
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.159
that rush tattoo. Right, you know, I can sleep on

189
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.639
his couch probably.

190
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.480
Tomorrow, right right, totally say.

191
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:40.320
And we all have a very special bond in this

192
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.080
type of music and I'm just glad to be a

193
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.759
part of that, very grateful to be back.

194
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.559
And I think it's even bigger here in Voking because

195
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.799
like for me, this is my first time at Vaking.

196
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:53.879
I've done Hellfests every year, I do Bloodstock, download all

197
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:57.360
the US festivals, and when first before I came here,

198
00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:59.399
you know, we know it's the holy ground. It's the

199
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.879
biggest on I'm thinking it can't really be much bigger

200
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:03.639
than Hellfest.

201
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:06.519
Really, I haven't even fucking seen the whole thing.

202
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.879
I haven't had time, right, I mean, it's like massive,

203
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:12.759
right it is. But the thing is, like you said,

204
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:17.799
I saw no issues. All these people, eighty thousand people,

205
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.759
this massive thing, and everybody's just the nicest people in

206
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:23.120
the world.

207
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:23.799
Yeah.

208
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.679
I actually have a solution to the world's problems before

209
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.639
even coming here. But now I think this would be

210
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.320
the venue we need to have at one festival, one

211
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.320
metal festival, the whole world's required to attend, except the

212
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.759
leaders securious told they're not allowed in, and we just

213
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.720
get everybody into one big wall of death of mashpit,

214
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:46.759
work it all out, and then we could hug each

215
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.519
other afterwards, and the whole world could get along and

216
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:51.039
stop being fucking divided.

217
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:51.720
That's right.

218
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.879
And like Burzon said too, you can separate the crowd

219
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:55.840
like that and have a wall.

220
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.480
You guys crush those guys.

221
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:01.000
Those guys crush these guys, but they know that word

222
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.600
crushed with that is like, it's still gonna be good if.

223
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.919
So it falls, you pick them up.

224
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:06.720
We're all over.

225
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.080
You're together to do this.

226
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.320
So everybody plays a part here, and everyone is playing

227
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.960
on those rules, and that's the beautiful thing because everyone

228
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.879
comes from that. It's not like it's forced in any way.

229
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:22.240
Everyone just has the same love for something and that

230
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.200
love is within this whole place. Eighty thousand people feel that,

231
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.519
and security must love it too, because they don't really

232
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.120
have a tough job exactly. And I see the way

233
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.879
they gingerly hand people over the wall, you know what

234
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:34.200
I mean.

235
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:35.759
It's like, it's a beautiful thing.

236
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.360
Man. Oh and I've seen the opposite as you have too. Yeah,

237
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.159
So it's like it's really like, it's this feeling of

238
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:47.360
such community, not just the audience, not just the bands, right,

239
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:52.240
the fire department, the villagers, Yeah, everybody, everybody.

240
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.679
Everybody's super cool, and that's it's one of the best

241
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:57.960
things in the world to see that kind of humanity,

242
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.480
knowing that outside of this kind of thing, there's crazy

243
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.080
shit going on all over the world. So I'm just

244
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.519
once again grateful to be here.

245
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:10.320
Well, we're grateful to have you here. And let's hear it.

246
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:16.759
Excuse me. You mentioned security. Right from where you're standing,

247
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.399
you couldn't see that. But when the pit was going

248
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:21.879
the security guys.

249
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:25.200
I've seen it. Yeah, you've seen it. Tell me, guys

250
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:31.080
did their own circle pit? My six guys, Yeah, around one.

251
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.039
Guy and like four of them are just certain ones.

252
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:39.600
That was so cool, Like I've never seen that before

253
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:44.679
in like never twenty years of doing media at festivals everywhere,

254
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:50.360
I've never seen that. So that's fucking killer. Well, I'm

255
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.799
glad you guys were here at VAKIN and I can't

256
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.759
wait to see you next week at Bloodstock because that's

257
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.759
another family thing. Like that's it's a cool thing about

258
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:05.320
Bloodstock too. It's as family owned. Vicky was asked recently,

259
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.919
are you going to turn into a download? And she's

260
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:13.039
absolutely not. You know, we are Bloodstock. We're going to

261
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.120
stay this way. We're gonna stay family oriented. Even a

262
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.360
couple of years ago, you know, they always have surprise bands. Yeah,

263
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.519
in the tent machine Head it was insane and had

264
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.279
a little tent, yeah, Like, and then on Fridays there

265
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:34.679
everybody wears pink because they have this. Sophie Lancaster was

266
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:38.120
a goth girl that left the gig and got jumped

267
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:43.600
and killed for being goth, and so Bloodstock pays homage

268
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.320
to that stuff. And that's more about the metal community.

269
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.120
We always pay homage to the people that need it,

270
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.480
and we help each other. I'm sick and tired of

271
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:57.679
the attitude of people who were real scary, like blah blah.

272
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.639
And you know, maybe it's good though, because it keeps

273
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.279
the assholes out and it just keeps all us good

274
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:03.759
people in.

275
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:07.840
Sure, it's not commercialized enough to get corrupted.

276
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:08.519
So I like that.

277
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.360
There you go, g I love it. Any final words

278
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:14.440
you guys want to give.

279
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:17.720
Just grateful to be here, Grateful to bring ever Moore

fans that have accepted us and accepted our new members

282

as family members. And we are a do or die band.

283
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.639
It's five of us, it's five against the world, and

284
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.639
we have a world that we fit into and this

the outside that there's a new guy filling in the

295
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:10.519
shoes of World.

296
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.320
I would have said, fucked that guy.

297
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:19.480
Yeah, So I want to thank all of the fans

298
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:22.720
for this huge positivity.

299
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:24.320
It's it's it's insane.

300
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.159
Well, we want to thank you for giving us fucking

great music, being here at vaking and just making us

302
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.679
feel good and giving us that music therapy that we

303
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.000
all need in this world right now. And I can

304
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:43.639
tell you I'm here and with you guys. I don't

305
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:45.879
feel any of the shit that's going on in the world.

306
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:47.799
I just feel a lot of love. And that's what

307
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.120

Thank you for listening to the Adventures of Pipemin.
