00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:06.920
know about Vakin, right?

19
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:08.079
I haven't heard that.

20
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.079
Oh it's called the Holy Ground. It's the biggest metal

21
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:16.439
festival in the world. It's in Germany. I was just

22
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.599
I was just there and then I was at Bloodstock.

23
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:21.760
Do you know that festival?

24
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:21.920
Ye?

25
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.400
No, Bloodstock yes.

26
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.719
Yeah, yeah, So I went from Vakan the bloodstock to

27
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:28.599
you guys.

28
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.359
It's an honor to be in the same list.

29
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.920
Man, There you go. And then I'm going to warp

30
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:40.879
tour Montreal on the twentieth. And then I just got

31
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.959
approval for Mexico City, So there you go, brother.

32
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:45.920
They wouldn't want to be anywhere else warped towards.

33
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.400
Where it's at, no doubt. I can't believe it's back.

34
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.040
It's I can't believe they're bringing my space back too,

35
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:53.560
Like what right, I just.

36
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:54.120
Heard about that.

37
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.680
Man, We're gonna have to get on there and see

38
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.560
if we could re unlock our coating skills, because.

39
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.640
Those are the days that you could actually like promote

40
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.599
your band the right way.

41
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.000
Yeah, right, exactly.

42
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.520
Came to you back then, you know what I mean,

43
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.479
Like we you didn't have to search the band out

44
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.199
the band. The band tracked you down and said you're

45
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.199
gonna like this music.

46
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.719
So I showed and this random coffee shop.

47
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.560
Yeah I know right. It was the modern day version

48
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.319
of the tape trading days that I grew up in.

49
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:32.319
Yeah, and it's cool because all that all that vintage

50
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.879
and retro stuff now like vinyls cassettes I've even seen.

51
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.360
Uh. I believe it was the Browning They they made

52
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:39.039
eight tracks.

53
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.360
Really, I've been talking about that with all the bands

54
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.319
making cassettes, and that was like they beat the banker

55
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:51.319
eight tracks. Man. Yeah, I had.

56
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:54.560
True yeah, insane Browning Browning houses. I think everything that

57
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.879
you can sell they have at their merch table.

58
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:02.039
So that's so killer. I had Blizzard of Oz on

59
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:07.319
eight track, and I had my match book handy so

60
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.439
that it could prop it up and be at the

61
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:14.199
right speed. Otherwise Ozzie sounded more like maybe, uh, I

62
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.800
don't know, hell Hammer or something like that.

63
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:21.879
And then and then to listen to music, man crazy.

64
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:27.240
No doubt. And then mister Crowley would split between tracks,

65
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.639
so it would fade out of track two and then

66
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.639
fade back in for track three. You'd hear to click

67
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.000
to the next track, and it would be right in

68
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:38.520
the middle of mister Crowley.

69
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:40.039
Man, I'll tell you what.

70
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.120
Living in California, man, I developed my biggest fear probably

71
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.680
about ten years ago. I ordered a special edition Scary Kids,

72
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.400
Scaring Kids vinyl record. They only made a certain amount

73
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:52.960
of prints.

74
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.120
I was so stoked to get it. Middle of summer.

75
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:02.680
It came in probably prime a lie California heat and uh,

76
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.639
it sat in my mailbox for no longer than two hours,

77
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.520
got it inside, cut the package open, put it on

78
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.599
my vinyl record, my player, and that record was sitting like.

79
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:18.040
Oh yeah, I remember those days. I remember those days

80
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.199
too much, and like I lived in LA during the

81
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.720
eighties sunset strip days. Yeah, so you know, I don't

82
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:27.839
know that I remember most of it, you know, because

83
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.639
if you were no, no, if you remember it, you

84
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.879
weren't really there. And thank god we did have social

85
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.480
media that ship, because there's no proof of all the

86
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.360
ship that I'd be in big trouble for right now.

87
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:47.439
Oh man, you enough what I ate for breakfast today, exactly.

88
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.800
Man, I don't like that ship. I don't want everybody

89
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:54.879
to I listen. I was just taking a family member

90
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.639
to the airport and they were losing their ship at

91
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.839
the airport, and I'm like, fuck, I'm gonna be on

92
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:02.439
social media for this shit.

93
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.240
Yeah, It's it's crazy world with everybody watching.

94
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.240
But I mean that's the nice part about doing music

95
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.160
now is like, uh, you see those those those true interactions,

96
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:16.920
and you see the people who are living in the

97
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.680
moment at the live shows, man, and it's like meeting

98
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.759
the fans again, like you know, we're in our thirties

99
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.279
doing it now, and you still have the phones and

100
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.680
everything like that, which is cool because after the show's over,

101
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.759
everybody's tagging you and posting you and doing all this stuff,

102
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:31.279
posting the.

103
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:32.319
Memories, which is beautiful.

104
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.920
But like you still get those those great interactions at

105
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:36.480
live shows, and no, I don't.

106
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:38.759
I still don't think, you know, there's nothing to this

107
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:40.560
day that'll beat a live show.

108
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.879
Like no, I feel like when we're listening to music

109
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.040
on the radio, you're either in preparation to go to

110
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.959
a live show or you're recapping leaving a live show,

111
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.279
and you're kind of just reliving that memory these days.

112
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:55.600
Yeah, And for me, back in the eighties, if it

113
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.399
was on the radio, I'm not fucking listening to it anymore,

114
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.199
you know, because like back then, metal then get played

115
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.279
on the radio. So once it did, that means they

116
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.319
shifted to like hair metal or some shit like that.

117
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.959
Like nope, you're a supposer, sell out. I'm not listening anymore.

118
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.920
You're on the radio, you know. But I mean, it

119
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:21.360
is it's interesting that there's pros and cons to both times.

120
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.920
Like you, as a band, it's much easier for you

121
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.639
to get exposure due to socials and things like that.

122
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.959
You know, you don't have to do the work sometimes

123
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.839
that those eighties bands did, you know. But but in

124
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:40.319
the same token, you gotta do a lot more fucking

125
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:41.600
work on social media.

126
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.360
Yeah, Frozen cons to it for sure. Nothing like thirty

127
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.399
years old and dancing for TikTok, right.

128
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:52.040
I know, right, And it's like, fuck man, I can't

129
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.240
even keep up with it anymore. Like now, and they're

130
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.839
bringing my space back. I'm like, fuck another one. I

131
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:01.600
gotta do now. And it's like it's like a full

132
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.079
time I feel bad for musicians. It is a full

133
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.279
time job to just do to social media. I don't

134
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.240
even know when you have time to write music.

135
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:09.519
We you know what we.

136
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.800
Are, our band as a whole, We kind of broke

137
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:16.000
everything down to where everybody has a job. There's five

138
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:19.879
of us. So Drew, which is our our streaming streamer

139
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.319
in the band. He's our tech guy. Man, he's savvy.

140
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.920
He knows the ups and downs left and right, so

141
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.800
the algorithm and man, if you go on our TikTok,

142
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.040
I think he posts like three times a day. There's

143
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.319
posts that we don't even know about.

144
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.839
Actually for this interview, and I saw a couple of

145
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:37.879
post I didn't even see that.

146
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.759
Yeah, yeah, I don't even have enough time in the

147
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:42.480
day to do three tiktoks.

148
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:44.800
Man, It's it's we got We got lucky with the

149
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.759
five people we have. You know, me and Matt do

150
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.439
a lot of the creative you know, he does a

151
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.519
lot of the bookkeeping and stuff like that. I do

152
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.920
more of the ideas for the art and stuff like,

153
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.519
you know, on that side of it, and then Richard

154
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.120
focuses mostly on his guitar. He does a lot of

155
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.279
the emailing back and forth there. And then you know,

156
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:08.480
we just signed with uh CB Entertainment and you know

157
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.399
he's doing the heavy heavy lifting for us in the background.

158
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.560
You know, a beautiful manager to have, and so.

159
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.199
He is out to us.

160
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:21.079
He is incredible. You're absolutely lucky because yeah, you know,

161
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.680
there's a lot of people in this business I wouldn't

162
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.240
say you're lucky about and he's definitely one of them.

163
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.120
You are, dude, I mean, yeah, for for the day

164
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.200
that we got that email, and you know, we try

165
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.320
to do our due diligence, and we we have friends

166
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.799
in the scene, and you know, bands that have been

167
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.720
around and you just you talk to people, ask them.

168
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.720
And yet you know, we've gotten mixed reviews on other

169
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.840
other ventures we've taken and you know, oh that's good

170
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.200
or no, that might not be the best path for you, guys,

171
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.559
And sometimes you got to make your own mistakes. And

172
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.679
then when Chris reached out to us, we did our

173
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.559
due diligence again and started asking around and we couldn't

174
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.120
even We were trying, man, we were trying to find somebody,

175
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.840
like we were going to give him a hundred bucks say

176
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:02.879
something bad about this guy, but like we couldn't find

177
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:04.360
anybody to say anything bad about him.

178
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.919
Man. Thing from like lower you know, just like local

179
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.639
to like buddies and bigger bands are like, no, no,

180
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:10.919
that is he's a great guy.

181
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:11.799
Like yeah send it.

182
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.639
Yeah, so's he's doing excellent in his career.

183
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:16.840
And I'm we're stoked to have him part of the family.

184
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.919
And uh, you know see where this this journey takes us,

185
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.360
Like we're we're blessed to even be in this position.

186
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:22.639
Man.

187
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.519
You know, we we started off back in twenty twenty

188
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.399
three of just getting this back together of possibly doing

189
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.559
a tour of you know, just the songs that we

190
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.399
did in high school. Just you know, get back together

191
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.360
and let's let's do some of the old songs. See

192
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.200
if anybody shows up. We'll just we'll run around California

193
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.039
and see if anybody likes it, and then we'll we'll

194
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.879
continue living on our lives. And then we wrote two

195
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.600
new songs, which were Death Race and Stay Another Day.

196
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.960
And the feedback they got and the the fandom that

197
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.720
kind of you know, pulled in from it, which was

198
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.039
the old nostalgia guys from the my space or the

199
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.360
you know, the newer fans, which is the younger generation,

200
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.519
the kids, or you know, some of the metal heads

201
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.039
that never even got a chance to hear us.

202
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.120
It was beautiful. So then we just.

203
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.240
Never stopped writing. We just kept going with it, and

204
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.559
the family kept kept growing, and you know, the songs

205
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:19.200
keep rolling in. We try to try to get a

206
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.200
new song every other month, and you know, we we

207
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:23.080
we just keep rolling.

208
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:24.679
Man, good things keep happening.

209
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.960
Nice. I love that, you know, because it is hard

210
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:34.320
when you have the nostalgia people like you look at

211
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:38.200
bring Me and how many of their core fans were like,

212
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.039
and I know I was like that with Metallica when

213
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.039
the Black album came out, Like I was at their

214
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.840
first show ever in Black. I'm like, you fuck impose

215
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.600
or sellouts, you know. But like now you hear like

216
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.039
the new Bring Me they just released, it's like they

217
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.399
went back to their roots. And I think that's smart.

218
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.720
But you know, I always said it best, like why

219
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.320
I want write the same song over and over again?

220
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.480
So when you go away from a little bit, I

221
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.759
think it kind of puts that juice back into you

222
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:10.200
to do it again, because yeah, poke a little break

223
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:14.399
from what the nostalgia was, you know exactly.

224
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:19.600
Yeah, I mean, and you know we were sixteen, seventeen

225
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.600
years old back then, you know, uh, just youngsters doing it.

226
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.759
So not only do do sounds change and.

227
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.799
Voices change and bands change, because you know, it's it's

228
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:30.879
not the same members or anything anymore.

229
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.159
But like a couple, yeah, just just a couple original guys.

230
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:39.840
But like everything changes over time, and the voices changed,

231
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.720
and your your feelings change, your outlook on life change.

232
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.720
Really changes the maturity with it, Like understanding is a

233
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:46.600
disagre ring.

234
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.320
We can find the middle ground going oh you know,

235
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.000
what let's try. That's rude.

236
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:56.240
Yeah not exactly, bro, but I go play except yeah, yeah, exactly.

237
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.879
And you actually are better at playing, like when you're six.

238
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.120
Usually you're not really that good yet because you're just

239
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.480
starting and you know, some people maybe, but you know,

240
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.919
the more you play, the more you get better at

241
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.360
your craft. So of course you don't want to sound

242
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:15.879
like you're a beginner anymore, which is where you got

243
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.639
to do that, like walk that fine line between the

244
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.960
new and the and the nostalgia, because the nostalgia people

245
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:27.000
want you to still suck, you know, and you don't

246
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:32.960
as an artist, you know. Yeah, so yeah, I think

247
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:36.919
it's cool that you realize that too. And you know,

248
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.279
all I kept thinking about when you were talking about

249
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:44.799
that too is when I've interviewed Joe from the Vandals

250
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.879
several times, and like, he knows, there's certain questions I

251
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.399
won't ask. So one time he brought one up that

252
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.279
everybody asked that I wouldn't and he's like, and don't

253
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.360
ask me, pipe man. When the Vandals are coming out

254
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.960
with new music, because nobody wants to hear a fifty

255
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:04.360
something year old write and punk rock songs, and it's

256
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:09.080
like It's kind of true because like Blink one A

257
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.759
two as an example, they were playing Aftershock one year

258
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.159
and everybody was leaving because they were all, well, this

259
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.240
was cool while I was fifteen, but it doesn't really

260
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.120
apply to me anymore. And you know, it's true, like

261
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.879
even if you take somebody who's a friend of mine

262
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.440
who actually is a metal head, you would never believe

263
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:30.440
Vanilla Ice, Okay, he lives near me, he's cool ass, dude.

264
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.320
I never thought I was. He was cool till I

265
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:36.200
met him. Like other than that, I was like, somebody

266
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:38.039
came up to me and they're like, hey, man, you

267
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.720
should interview Vanilla Ice, and I rolled my eyes. I'm like,

268
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:46.000
why you know? And so it's funny. I was. I

269
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.039
was doing one of his events and he was helping

270
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:51.440
me unload my car all the radio equipment and that

271
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:55.200
had slipknot blasting and he was banging his head and

272
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:56.919
I looked at him and rolled my eyes on him.

273
00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.960
I'm like, really, he goes, no, man, this is my jam, dude.

274
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.559
Like I fucking wrote Ice Ice Baby when I was sixteen.

275
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.320
I'm so sick of singing that song, but I have to,

276
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.639
you know, And that's what you get or like I

277
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:18.039
prevail whatever, Yeah, you Eric all the time, I don't

278
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.480
know this song product will will not play their cover anymore.

279
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:23.159
They they did, they don't want to do it.

280
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.240
Still fly, they had huge popularity, they love doing it,

281
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:27.720
but man, they do not want to do it anymore.

282
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:30.080
I don't blame him. It's not there, not their jam anymore,

283
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:30.559
you know what I mean?

284
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.879
They exactly They want to show you what they still

285
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.000
have and they're still killing it.

286
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:38.279
Yeah, And who the hell wants to play like a

287
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:42.559
cover as the one that everybody's listening to waiting for

288
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:45.519
that you're sick of playing as it is, it was

289
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.080
probably just a joke to begin with, you know, type

290
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:51.559
of thing. And it's it's true. Eric was he's on stage,

291
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.080
He's like, all right, I guess we're gonna sing the

292
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:55.799
song that we have to sing, and I don't want

293
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:59.399
to fucking sing. Yeah, And it is a good version.

294
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:02.159
They'll get wrong, but you know, I get his point

295
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.159
of view, Like even with your old songs, your own

296
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:08.960
old songs, sometimes we feel that way.

297
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:09.159
As new as we kind of are.

298
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:10.840
Elody kind of had that happen with a couple of

299
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.360
songs we got a couple fans that are like every

300
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:16.600
show they're costly, why aren't you playing this song to night?

301
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:19.679
Or why an't you playing this time? Like because we can't. Yeah,

302
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:21.600
we we do have that, you know.

303
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.840
We we took a different approach when we we decided

304
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.799
to start playing shows. Is you know, we took the

305
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.039
entirety of twenty twenty three, which is the year that

306
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.000
we you know, got together as as our band and

307
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:38.399
decided to sit down and write the entire album. We

308
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:42.399
we sat down, we started all right, wrote out a

309
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:46.399
kind of a game plan there and shot for I

310
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:51.039
believe it's seven full songs interlude, intro, and out outro,

311
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:55.600
and we were just nostalgia to ourselves kind of thing like, Yeah,

312
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.960
albums used to have intros, our albums used to have interviews,

313
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.200
albums used to have outros, And we're like, let's make

314
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.360
a gift for ourselves. We're here, we have the opportunity. Uh,

315
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:07.840
let's write a story. And that's kind of what we

316
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.519
did with Infinite in that.

317
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.679
In that aspect, we wrote a story of how we

318
00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:14.799
were feeling at that time.

319
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:20.000
And when you start playing shows and you have that

320
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:25.159
many songs, your time slots don't fit that many songs, right,

321
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.360
We're lucky to get five. And you know our songs.

322
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:31.519
We we're not rushing out two minute bangers. We're we're

323
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:34.799
writing three to four minute songs. So yeah, we were,

324
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:39.320
we were probably pushing about five songs and every show, when.

325
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:40.120
Are we When am I gonna hear this song? When

326
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:42.480
are we gonna hear that song? Will doesn't help it.

327
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.159
We're also immediately.

328
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:48.039
After the album we started writing writing, Yeah, we already

329
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.399
have we go back next month. We'll have five new

330
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.279
songs just this year that are on that album. So

331
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.960
it's like it just it also goes off the vibe

332
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.559
of the show. If playing a festival, we don't want

333
00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:58.960
to play you a sad song. I want to keep

334
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.720
you moving, or it's like you can't play everyone yeah

335
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.440
at all times, which so you have.

336
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:07.680
To go all out at it. You have to go

337
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:09.839
all out at a festival. You have such a short

338
00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:13.279
time slot. Now, oh yeah, you can't. There's no time

339
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:16.759
for a lull. And I love what you said about

340
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.680
the intros and stuff like that, because some of my

341
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.720
favorite songs ever kids today would not listen to because

342
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.920
they wouldn't wait the ten seconds for the brutality to start,

343
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:31.880
you know, and it's like it's weird to me because

344
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:37.160
music is an experience, like immersive experience a song is,

345
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.000
and I don't get the whole concept of I've listened

346
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:44.079
to ten seconds of this song and I've heard the

347
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:46.960
whole song already because I listened to ten seconds, you know.

348
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:52.200
Yeah, No, I completely agree. And it's just like I

349
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:53.839
think music is more of.

350
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:56.640
You.

351
00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:58.440
Like like we were talking about how people change and

352
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:01.200
age and and things like that. The music that you're

353
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:03.559
listening to at that at that time, at that part

354
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:05.720
of your life, whether you've been listening to that band

355
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:08.240
for one year compared to you've been listening to that

356
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.200
band for twenty years, it's kind of a stamp on

357
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.519
on how you were and who you were at that time. Yeah,

358
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.960
I'll listen to a Data Member, Devar's product, Blink two,

359
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.039
you know, story so far, Metallica's But you know, I

360
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:24.279
can name the world, but every one of those bands

361
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:29.079
that I listened to, I think when I pressed play

362
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.079
that play button, that stamp comes back in my head

363
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:34.839
of the first time you listen to them. Where what

364
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:37.480
it relates to those memories that come back? You know

365
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:39.720
what I mean the first time I seen uh. I

366
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:41.960
lived in Reno for a little bit after I graduated

367
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.000
high school, and first time I seen Devors Prada was

368
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:46.680
in a venue called the Aquarium.

369
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:49.400
I'm not even sure it existed anymore, does there?

370
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:53.240
Eight oh Ways were so loud, dust was coming off

371
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.359
the ceiling and nice. I've seen other bands there. I've

372
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.920
seen park Way, Drive a Data, remember, Motionless and White

373
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:01.799
back when they were not who.

374
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:04.240
They were, And Devilar's Prada is.

375
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:07.640
The only band that I've seen the building roof tile

376
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.240
shaking with dust coming off because their music was so loud.

377
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:12.359
And that's what I'm saying.

378
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:14.599
You press play on a song, even if it's you know,

379
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.200
something like sacrifice or something new, that's where that memory goes.

380
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:18.839
That's where it goes.

381
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.680
Yeah, where your punch stample is.

382
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:25.799
It's funny you should say that because that's why so

383
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.160
many people are the way they are. Like when I

384
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.640
was talking about Bring Me recently, there's some people that

385
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.599
are just in that death core area era that was

386
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.880
nostalgia for him. Metallica as an example. My favorite albums

387
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:42.119
Kill Them All? Now? Would that be most people's favorite album?

388
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:42.359
No?

389
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.039
Only the people that were there in the beginning because

390
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:49.759
of nostalgia. Same with Slayer. Show No Mercy is my

391
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:52.319
favorite album. Everybody wants say Rain and Blood, I say

392
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:57.960
Show No Mercy. Maiden Killers for sure my favorite Maiden album.

393
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:02.440
You know, AC DC, Bond Scott years now. That doesn't

394
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:05.440
mean I don't like the stuff after. It just means

395
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.720
that Dead's like you said, it holds a special place

396
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.720
in time, time stamps in your brain that brings back

397
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:16.200
to these feelings and brings you back to that time,

398
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:18.319
and it's hard to let go of that.

399
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.079
I mean, we're we're all just excuse me, humans at

400
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:25.680
the end of the day, and and whether we fight.

401
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.440
It or not, are our brains.

402
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:29.640
I think run on that and that nostalgia button, and

403
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.359
music is built on that factor of it gets you

404
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:36.680
that itch and whether you know, let's let's use Sleep

405
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.440
Theory as an example. Brand new band blowing up out

406
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:42.440
of nowhere. You know they're Their vocals are awesome, instruments

407
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.240
are awesome. I've only been listening to them for about

408
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:47.319
a year. I have a stamp from the first time

409
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.720
I've seen them live. No clue who they were they

410
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.000
were opening up for or for plotting You and Bear

411
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:54.359
tooth and I was like, I heard good things about

412
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:56.960
this guy's voice. I'm a huge fan. Now you know,

413
00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:58.920
I already have a stamp from them. It only took

414
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:02.200
a year, you know, and it's it's it's awesome. I

415
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.599
hope that one day that you know, we developed fans

416
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:06.839
or we get to we get to be that stamp

417
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:09.759
for people to where hey, we saw those guys at

418
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:12.240
a venue that was less than three hundred people. We

419
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:14.640
saw those guys that I mean, our first show that

420
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:16.279
we played in Santa Cruz was a bar, and I

421
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:16.920
woul think that.

422
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.319
Was about first show. But our first show in Santa

423
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:20.519
Cruz was a bar.

424
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:25.400
Oh say, twenty thirty people, but bar turned upside down.

425
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:25.839
Yeah.

426
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.279
We had you know, age ranges from sixty five year

427
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:32.720
old guys washing down to the twenty one year olds

428
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:35.480
who could just barely get into the bar, you know,

429
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:39.119
losing their mind, bartender, barstools were moving around, and you know,

430
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:41.599
so that might be a stamp for somebody like, hey,

431
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:43.440
I caught them in Santa Cruz and in.

432
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:46.640
The jury room with thirty other people, like, you know,

433
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:48.640
fifteen people.

434
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.000
Yeah, exactly. Well that's like for me, I was at

435
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:54.920
the first crossover show. Ever. It was at the Sun

436
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.319
Valley Sportsman's Lodge, which was like an Elk lodge in

437
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:02.079
the in the San Fernando Valley, and there was no

438
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:05.599
security before that. Long hairs can't go to punk shows,

439
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:09.000
punks can go to metal shows. It was stupid as shit.

440
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:12.759
But then we had three punk bands, three metal bands,

441
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:16.559
you know, and a couple of those bands you know,

442
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:21.200
crossed over after that, but it was there was no security.

443
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.759
It was fucking mayhem. So now one of the punk

444
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:29.200
bands was coc when they were hardcore punk in the

445
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:32.960
beginning before Pepper and I've interviewed two of their band

446
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.200
members from then, you know that on two separate occasions,

447
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.200
and I said, you probably don't remember this show in

448
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.039
the mid I mentioned the Sun Valley Sportsman's Lodge. Are

449
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.559
both of them on separate occasions. Oh, that was like

450
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:50.400
an Elks lodge, right, That was the most epic show ever.

451
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:53.799
So even for the band, Yeah, that happens. They have

452
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.200
this time stamp of something.

453
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.400
You know, Yeah, like actually that I kind of do that, like,

454
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.519
you know, I never realized it, you know, now that

455
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:03.920
we're doing.

456
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:06.519
Music is a huge part of his networking.

457
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:08.559
So you go to these shows and you want to

458
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:10.400
meet you know, you have the fans meeting the bands,

459
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:13.000
but then you know, as a band meeting a band,

460
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.880
you're kind of like feeling the vibe, feeling the human

461
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.119
you know, you already know you like their music, and

462
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:20.880
you're kind of just seeing if you can make that

463
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:24.440
connection a little stronger. But from guys that we used

464
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:27.480
to open up for back in high school, you know,

465
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:32.519
from all of our different projects back then, we Attack

466
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:35.000
Attack came back around, you know, and Andrew's still drumming

467
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:36.880
for them. So we met him after the show and

468
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:38.880
I was like, dude, you know, it's crazy we opened

469
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:43.400
for you way back then. And it took like pause, thinking, thinking,

470
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:45.519
and then the light bulb went off and he's like,

471
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:49.279
oh my god, bro, that was you know, almost twenty

472
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:49.880
years ago.

473
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:55.799
Like that's insane, right, it is wild? And uh, that's

474
00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:00.000
what's cool about metal, Yeah, because we're just one big community,

475
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.359
one big family with a lot of nostalgia. I don't

476
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.559
think there's any other genre besides metal or punk that

477
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:13.440
could say that, because, like, do you remember who even

478
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:15.720
the biggest pop artists are. There are some of the

479
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.240
biggest pop artists. If you had asked the kid today,

480
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:20.440
they wouldn't know who they are, but you mentioned the Misfits.

481
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:24.039
They know who the Misfits are, you know, perfect example.

482
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:29.920
And I love this song war Inside too, that.

483
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:31.400
The new one we just came out with.

484
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:37.240
Yeah, yeah, that is killer. That is killer, and I

485
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:42.359
just you know, people view things different ways. But immediately,

486
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:46.240
without even listening to this song, I was like, oh, yeah,

487
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:48.480
all of us on Earth right now are having a

488
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:49.680
war inside our head?

489
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:55.640
Yeah, you know, we we definitely uh you know, I

490
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:58.240
think I think pretty much everybody's age you have a

491
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.640
touch of you know, trauma. If you don't, you're you're

492
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:05.400
beautifully lucky. But we kind of, you know, we know

493
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:07.279
what the other members of the band have gone through.

494
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:08.960
And we take a lot of our songs and we

495
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:11.799
write them together. We send drafts to each other and

496
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:14.279
see if anything needs to change. And that was one

497
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.759
that when I was coming up with it, that song

498
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:19.799
just came out. What did we drop that about a

499
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:22.680
month and a half ago. A month and a half ago,

500
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:28.160
and those lyrics started forming back in twenty twenty two

501
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:30.119
before we even got this going.

502
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:32.240
That was something that was.

503
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:35.359
In the notes of my phone and the process and

504
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:37.720
you know, you're working with the other guys and having

505
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:40.000
them clean it up for me, ad lines here or

506
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:43.319
there and and do stuff like that. Yeah, that's that's

507
00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:45.640
been in the process for about four years. So that

508
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:49.039
was probably one of my favorite songs to come to Fruition.

509
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:52.240
And then I don't know if you were able to

510
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.839
catch the music video, but we went entirely DIY with

511
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:59.319
that entire song. That music video shot in Santa Cruz,

512
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:03.319
Cruise of the off the cliffs out there, and you know,

513
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:06.519
just the runs. I had a vision of that song

514
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:09.319
of I wanted that beautiful run.

515
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:12.160
The every step by tick but.

516
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:16.039
Devil's product sitting in the back of my head, I

517
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:19.359
wanted Mike. You know, Mike's vocals is what I was

518
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:21.720
hearing in the back of my head when I was

519
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:23.480
singing it. So I was like, Drew, I want you

520
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:27.240
to match exactly what I sing and do a run

521
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:31.920
of screams and just blend them to this beautiful harmony.

522
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:34.799
And that's probably one of my favorite things that we've

523
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:35.519
written so far.

524
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:38.359
Man, that that came out so good. It's fun.

525
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:42.319
Yeah, that's killer, And see I like hearing that too.

526
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:44.799
That's fun as hell to play. I think that's another

527
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:47.359
thing too that people don't realize it is like there's

528
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:50.839
some songs more fun to play to others for an artist. Yeah,

529
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:55.359
and so some of those songs that maybe they want

530
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:59.359
you to play aren't fun anymore. You know, you play that,

531
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.000
when you play it like a thousand times, how fun

532
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:02.680
is it still?

533
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.319
You know, one of our most popular songs that I

534
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:09.519
loved to sing, he hates it because it's one of

535
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:11.200
our more difficult songs to play.

536
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:13.400
It's not that it's difficult. I just.

537
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:16.559
At the time, I wasn't in the band when they

538
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:19.839
started recording that, and I kind of did Sebi records,

539
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:21.759
but I didn't want to change up too much of

540
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:24.960
the bass on it as was because it was already out.

541
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:28.640
It's just things. I guess you could change it more live,

542
00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:30.880
but I learned it the way it was and accord

543
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:31.200
the way.

544
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.200
It's just I don't know. I wrote the bass on that.

545
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:36.519
When we first formed back together.

546
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:39.720
I was the bassis. I made it technically myself, and

547
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:40.640
I don't like to know.

548
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.680
And when I was doing bass and vocals, I simplified

549
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:47.519
everything because you know, I had a mic in front

550
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:49.799
of me, so I wasn't always able to look down

551
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:53.400
and see what I'm doing. And then, you know, as

552
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:57.480
we progress, I was like, I should either get one

553
00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:58.359
of these out of the way.

554
00:27:58.400 --> 00:27:59.920
I'm either gonna move.

555
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.079
On from the vocal side of things and make bass

556
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:05.759
more technical, or i should move on from bass and

557
00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:09.519
make my vocals more technical. And then that's when you know,

558
00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:12.079
we were talking, you know, as a band, and one

559
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:13.519
of our band members told.

560
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:14.400
Us that he was available.

561
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.200
He plays bass, you know, he was in organ at

562
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:20.000
the time when we did that, and so we brought

563
00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:22.079
him in and I handed him my bass guitar and

564
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:23.000
I said, this is your job.

565
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:30.599
Now, nice, give you mine back. Then, no, that thing,

566
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:32.279
I have every ball you can keep your shatter.

567
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.240
And then you guys are going to be a titan

568
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.359
Fest on the fifth that's pretty cool. And then and

569
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:44.480
then Iconic Ace of Spades on the twenty first of November.

570
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:46.559
That's that's pretty badass, bro.

571
00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:50.200
We cannot wait for both of those shows. Actually, titan

572
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:53.200
Fest being the first festival we have. You know, the

573
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:56.720
best way to describe that is, you know the minor

574
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:01.480
leagues for for Metal, U're right there next to Aftershock

575
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:04.440
and it's right right near after Shock weekends. So uh,

576
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:06.400
you know, these are these are the bands that are

577
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.880
trying to the locals, you know, all up and down

578
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:12.720
the California scene, trying to to break in or if

579
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:15.200
you know some we have you know Arsenal skitt all

580
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:19.400
girls who've been massive back in the past. Uh, just

581
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:21.640
California metal scene and.

582
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:23.920
Yeah, and.

583
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:27.680
All all the guys that are working their way towards

584
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:30.720
after Shock, towards Warped Tour, towards you know, all this

585
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.680
and it still has that that that vibe that After

586
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:36.079
Shock or Warped Tour, you know vibe that it's not

587
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:38.039
just metal court, it's not just death.

588
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:39.480
It's it's a mix of everything.

589
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:42.680
You know, it's all these different musicians coming together for

590
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:45.960
titan Fest and then Ace of Spades. Man, I mean,

591
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:47.720
what could I say other than a dream come true?

592
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:51.920
Uh to be with the heavy hitters of Mice and men.

593

They are killer dudes. They are killer dudes too, like yeah,

621
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:15.519
as human beings.

622
00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:15.519
Only like to give us the opportunity of being on

623
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:16.640
the show with them and open.

624
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:18.480
At Ace of Spades. I never thought I'd get to

625
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:18.920
play there.

626
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:21.680
It's one of those places I've always under play, but

627
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:23.680
also being as open as they are to be able

628
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:25.200
to reach out and ask questions.

629
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:26.039
Communications.

630
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:30.400
Okay, you know like our drummer, he talks to their drummer. Okay,

631
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.400
I got a question, and he's so quick and honest.

632
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:34.559
It's great people.

633
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.279
That's cool to hear. That's cool to hear. And I

634
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:40.960
went doubt if Wimmer would be at titan Fest looking

635
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:43.880
for some new bands to bring to the Wimmor festivals,

636
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:45.279
because he does that ship.

637
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:48.880
You know, you know we are if we know, we

638
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.799
know who you are, Danny. So I mean, all we

639
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:54.559
got to do is get that twisted right of the

640
00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:56.440
way around and let him know who we are. And

641
00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:58.759
the only way you could do that is by putting

642
00:31:58.759 --> 00:31:59.279
on a good show.

643
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.680
We got, uh some plans for that show.

644
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:06.319
Yeah, even if people have seen us live, they're not

645
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.480
gonna be ready for a couple of things that that day.

646
00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:12.319
Oh yeah, we had to scratch the plans for the

647
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:14.759
T shirt cannon because we didn't know how expensive they were.

648
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:16.720
But uh yeah, we we we pivoted.

649
00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:21.599
So oh man, that's the only reason I was going

650
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:22.359
the T shirt.

651
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:25.160
Hey, I got it, I'll throw I was gonna say,

652
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:26.440
I'll get one of my friends and used to play

653
00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:28.079
football or something, just come and start throwing.

654
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:30.559
I just played bass. I can just stop.

655
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:38.279
Right. I want. I want to see you throw picks,

656
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:41.720
guitar picks as far as the T shirt cannon. Can

657
00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:43.880
that flick it? Yeah?

658
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:45.599
I can think I can flick it further than I

659
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:46.079
can throw.

660
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:48.839
It depends on if you maybe uh uh.

661
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:56.880
Car throw. Yeah, you're gonna get stories guitar pick throws man.

662
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:03.119
Okay, so I'll give you a trivia question. Okay, speaking

663
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:11.519
of guitar picks, why is Hetfield the greatest downpicker ever?

664
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:21.440
What's the strategy? Mmend, go ahead.

665
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:25.319
It's gotta be something about the strings, right you?

666
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:26.359
No, Nope.

667
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.839
The I feel like I actually heard this before, and

668
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:33.759
that's what's killing me right now because.

669
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:36.240
Think about what we were just talking about.

670
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:41.680
Clicking oh, because you play a lot of poker now.

671
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:46.359
He calls the guitar pick with three fingers instead of

672
00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:52.000
and I'm thinking about when I heard that, and I'm like, yeah,

673
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.440
that would fucking do it, because you're doing with two

674
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:57.599
and sometimes it flies out of your hand, but with three,

675
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:00.559
you have such a stronghold on that pick.

676
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:05.000
Yeah, being a bassis we used. We used three fingers too,

677
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:07.640
so yeah, because I will. I mean, he uses.

678
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.639
Guitar picks when he plays bass, so he's basically just

679
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:11.920
more like a guitar pick.

680
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.760
But I used the like Ernie Ball version of it. Yeah,

681
00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:16.880
I used to the one I did it. I used

682
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:18.599
the bigger bass picks that Ernie Ball ones.

683
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:22.480
Well, I also use the thinner ones because occasionally I

684
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:23.199
don't use to pick.

685
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:25.480
I'll go to fingers sometime on like a softer part

686
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:28.079
or something, so I can easily not catch the pick

687
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:29.599
when I'm playing. He keeps on him to slap the

688
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:32.960
bass man. He's just like eleven bas.

689
00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:37.280
Okay, there's another trip. There's another trivia question for it.

690
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:40.679
Who's the most famous bassist in history that started off

691
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:44.360
as a guitarist and basically drew the short straw to

692
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:47.800
be the bassis in the back? Is it nope?

693
00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:48.920
Ship?

694
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.519
He had one? Yes, that was a good guess. Katie's

695
00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:54.599
a freaking god.

696
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:59.760
It's nothing different tool, is it Nope? You gotta go

697
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:05.960
further back, rush I said, Getty. Getty is Rushy can

698
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.960
tell you? You know, I know there's good ship there

699
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:13.320
in Santa Claus but I'm trying to think we're back.

700
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:15.360
Fleet.

701
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:18.480
No, no, no, gotta go further back.

702
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:21.000
See that. That's the problem I'm having in my head

703
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:22.000
is the timelines.

704
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:27.280
Yeah, he lays out, let's play well, all right, don't

705
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:31.159
give you a hint. This artist still is around, still

706
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:35.920
plays live. It's not but he was a guitarist in

707
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:42.360
the early sixties before he had to play bass. Did

708
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:46.119
you just say Queens is stone age? Yeah, they're not

709
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:47.800
from the sixties that.

710
00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:48.519
They hang up on it.

711
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:51.440
I'm telling you That's the thing is like I I

712
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:56.000
hold weird knowledge, but like years, I don't hold that.

713
00:35:56.000 --> 00:35:57.519
That is the one thing that's going to escape me.

714
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:00.159
I would tell you Rush is from the eighties if

715
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:00.920
I had to get.

716
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:01.280
You know what I mean?

717
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:02.000
And I know it's not.

718
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:04.880
Russ is way older, but like you know what I mean,

719
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.000
I can't relate a band to a year.

720
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:13.480
All right. It's uh Paul McCartney.

721
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:18.880
Oh damn, Beagles thought Beatles but didn't go Now.

722
00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:21.800
If you go listen Beatles now and just listen to

723
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:24.280
hear him play bass, he's playing it like a guitar.

724
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:26.920
Dang. I would have never even went that far. That's

725
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.320
like a leaf versus me. Yeah, he plays bass.

726
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:32.880
But he's originally guitarist. Watch him, it's kind of the

727
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:34.880
same thing. He does play a lot like a guitar.

728
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:39.079
Yeah, because that's a habit already, you know. So I

729
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:41.480
think if you start at bass, it's different, but if

730
00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:44.760
you go from guitar to bass, it's like you can't

731
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:48.079
help but bring the guitar element into it.

732
00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:49.679
Yeah, that's funny.

733
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:52.639
Yeah, I mean I've only been a bassist when I

734
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:56.239
when my music journey started by becoming friends with musicians

735
00:36:56.280 --> 00:36:59.000
and they liked me as a person and they were like,

736
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:00.840
you want to be in the band, And I was

737
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:02.159
like I would, man, but I don't know how to

738
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:02.760
play an instrument.

739
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:04.400
And they're like, you sound like a basis. All right.

740
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:09.400
I got the same thing. I was a singer and

741
00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:11.880
then a Jordan that with Jordan, and I'm not gonna have.

742
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:15.079
Sing over Jordan Blake. Yeah, he's like, grab a bass,

743
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:17.800
yeah all right. I was doing keys for a second.

744
00:37:18.679 --> 00:37:21.039
So that that's where the music journey started for me.

745
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:21.280
Man.

746
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:22.480
So that's what I've stuck with.

747
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:26.920
Well there you go. Well you guys kill it. Tell

748
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:29.760
everybody how they can reach out to you. Buy your merch.

749
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:31.519
They can't listen to my show unless say, buy your

750
00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:35.519
merch and uh, you know anything else we haven't covered

751
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:36.280
that you want to know.

752
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:39.719
I mean, thank you everybody who's listening. We are ourselves

753
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:42.920
among others. You can find us at ourselves among others

754
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:49.440
on everything TikTok, Facebook, Apple Music, Spotify, and Instagram seem

755
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:52.119
to be MySpace soon to be MySpace coming soon.

756
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:55.719
You know, I hope my profile is still there.

757
00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:56.960
Profile is still there?

758
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:00.519
How wild would that be? Like they turned a lot

759
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:04.639
back on and it's like your same profile. I'd be

760
00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.360
really curious to see what's on my fucking profile.

761
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:11.920
That's what I got it when I think justin Timberlake

762
00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:14.599
bought my space for a minute, and so everybody was

763
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:18.119
going on and reactivating their profiles. But the one thing

764
00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:20.440
I heard everybody's feelings, they didn't back up your pictures,

765
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:21.960
so all your pictures were gone.

766
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:25.360
Oh well yeah, so no fringiness.

767
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:28.360
Then maybe I wouldn't even know the email.

768
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:30.800
I'm sure it had something to down Park back in

769
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:35.119
two thousand and six, So oh yeah, I don't. I

770
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:36.480
don't remember my email.

771
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:38.760
But I just thought of something too real quick before

772
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:42.320
we end here, Like you meant you mentioned the band.

773
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:45.360
I'm thinking, what a cool tour name that would be

774
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:50.320
ourselves among us among others versus b That would be

775
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:51.679
such a killer tour name.

776
00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:56.119
Yeah, I don't want to tour those guys.

777
00:38:56.480 --> 00:39:00.199
I love that those guys are definitely the boys.

778
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:10.119
Just goes together. You know, you could tell I came up.

779
00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:14.599
You can tell I came up with it too. I

780
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:17.679
reviewed them recently, but I've been at so many festivals

781
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:20.199
I'll even remember which one it was at this point.

782
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.760
Was probably Incarceration, But I can't.

783
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:25.679
Just played Incarnation and them. Did they play this walking

784
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:27.400
to Rockfield? Yeah?

785
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.000
I did both. I probably I think I talked to

786
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:32.440
him and I've talked to him a few times, but yeah,

787
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:32.719
I did.

788
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:36.880
But those guys from top to bottom are just great

789
00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:37.519
people to talk to.

790
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:39.119
Yeah, so there we.

791
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:41.679
Go, that message on we we trust me that tour

792
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.639
will happen before we hang up any any sort of.

793
00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:49.159
Don't that's just how you name it, just like that.

794
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:52.559
You know that would be me. It just goes together

795
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:56.920
like people. I'll bet you there's people that won't even

796
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.199
figure out that the two band names are, like, I

797
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:03.360
wonder what that means.

798
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:10.320
We'll get out of the like wait a minute, but yeah.

799
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:12.599

810
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:40.639
after a week out?

811
00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:41.880
We suck right?

812
00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:48.360
You guys should play at have been in November. You

813
00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:51.119
guys should play at I don't even know if it

814
00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:53.840
exists anymore, and it's not a venue. But I used

815
00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:57.360
to live in Brookdale, and you guys should play at

816
00:40:57.360 --> 00:41:00.599
the Brookdale Lodge. You know, the brook you know, but

817
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:05.800
it's in the Sana Cruz Mountains. But it's like it's

818
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:10.199
that town where the Brookdale Lodge. To do that works there,

819
00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:12.519
Like you see in the movies, changing the hat, he

820
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:15.719
runs the lodge, he runs the restaurant, he's the police department,

821
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:21.039
he's the postmaster, he's the fire person, he's everybody. Like, yes,

822
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:24.320
that's all there is in that town or then. I

823
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:26.920
don't know about now, but all I know is then,

824
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:30.159
you know, all my friends living there all had sawed

825
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:32.920
off shotguns signed their house because you didn't walk on

826
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:37.639
their property for the obvious reasons back then. Yeah, you know,

827
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:41.880
like especially during harvest season. You know you didn't. You

828
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:44.440
didn't walk on property there except me. I'd go up

829
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:48.000
there during harvest and my friends would have like hefty

830
00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:51.320
garbage bags full, and they're like, hand me a baggy,

831
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:55.840
go ahead, fill it up, take your pick, the good

832
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:58.000
old days before the government got involved.

833
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:02.079
Right, Yeah, you're trying to get us to go on

834
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:03.599
another rant again, aren't you know?

835
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:09.320
Right Well, you guys do rock, though, and you have

836
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:12.360
enough of a rant in your music, and that's what's important,

837
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:15.679
because music is the best therapy there is and the

838
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:19.599
best solution to all the bullshit we have in the world.

839
00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:23.400
Right now, so hey, I'll say say how it was

840
00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:25.320
told to me. Man, If my music can change one

841
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:28.800
person's life, that's all that matters. I'm already seated that expectation.

842
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:31.199
So now now we're just enjoying the ride.

843
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:34.159
So uh. This song coming out soon.

844
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:36.599
No release date yet, but it will be within the

845
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:38.840
next month called make your Own Luck.

846
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:41.599
And if you would like to hear our new song Rusted.
