Thank you so much for having me. Oh my pleasure, and oh my god. It took me forever to get in here. I was like, I better not miss that interview. I better not miss that interview. Here we are, baby, here. You are sweating her ass off, right, I don't expect that in the UK. I have my I was wearing my hoodie before. It's crazy. I've got my checker with it's not warm, but I'm sweating. It's like, what's that weather? It's so weird.

0:46 This is how the UK is, Okay, it's like bipolar. Yeah. I can't tell you how many times I've done download and I bring my hoodie. One interview, I have to wear it, the next one I have to take it off. You have like four seasons in one hour. Yeah, it's crazy, but hey, it is what it is. Right, we're here. We're in a tent at least, so yeah, there you go. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter the weather. We're here, that's right. And so have you played download for No. No, it's the first time. Yeah, it never worked out. It never worked out. We've we're supposed to play this festival for many years now, but it never worked out with our schedule, you know. So it's no, we're here finally. Nice. Nice, And so I want to hear back of how it is performing in the weather here, like while you're doing your set and it changes the weather while you're doing your set. Yeah, next time we talk on why here, I want to hear about that.

1:38 Yeah, sure, because it is. I always call it bipolar weather. Yeah, but that's rough. You know, it's rough on artists too. I think people don't realize what you have to go through to give a great show. When we'll deal with weather. Especially the crew, it's like crazy how much they have to handle, you know, like all the gear. It's not like when it starts to rain, where the fuck does the gear go? Won't like get we and all that, you know. So I feel like the crew has like a ten times more difficult day when the weather is not playing nice, you know, than the artist itself. You know. I mean we're on the stage, it's like it's mostly dry, you know, right, But the crew, I'm always like, oh my god, I hope I hope they're I hope that the mood is still good.

2:21 You know. There you go. Yeah, and I like your hat. That cay because I'm a hockey person. Let's go and to come over to the UK for a band from Europe wearing an Oilers hat. I like that. It's really cool. Okay, let's go. I like that. I like that. Are they your favorite band or you just like the hat? No, it's my favorite favorite favorite band band festival. No, I think it's my favorite well I think no, I know it's my favorite team, though I don't even know how it started. Me and my guitar player, Yick. We're watching hockey a lot, and it's funny that there's not a single Swiss hockey player playing for the Oilers right now. I don't know why.

3:01 I don't know why that team, but it's just it's just stuck with me ever since I started watching like NHL and stuff. You know, I know we have many players in the NHL, but Oilers are not one of them. But maybe it was because of Grebski. Maybe that's one. Maybe also dry title the German player as fuck. I like him a lot, so yeah. Yeah, So I'm a Devils fan because I lived in Jersey, Okay. I like second row blue line. I coached ice hockey, I coached roller hockey, I played hockey. I love that. So next to metal, hockey is one of my favorite things. Sick. I like that. I like that. What else do you like? Besides music? I like to hear from the artists what their passion.

3:41 I do like sports in general. I like doing sports, like running. I like running a lot. I like swimming and all that, and like sports. I like watching sports in general. But besides sports, well, hiking and nature and like mountains and all that, you know, which which kind of leads into sports again. I just like to be all the time, you know. I think I enjoy cooking more and more and more. I got into cooking, like I'd say, since I started taking care more about my health. Obviously cooking comes along with it, you know. So I start like my interests woke, Like I've been waking my. Interest into like cooking way more and more and more. So i'd say everything that's like active and healthy kind of at the moment, you.

4:24 Know, Yeah, I'm the same way I surf. A love Let's go let's let's do it. Yeah, I actually like it's one of my goals. I have a whole list of places all over the world to serf, like I've served Portugal. Say, when I did Healthfest right after COVID. You went to the west coast Atlantic goos and there. Yeah, like it was like an hour fro and so what I did because it was two weekends, you know, that first one after COVID. So I got an airbnb right on the ocean, so I would do metal on the weekend, surfing during the week. That's a perfect life, if you ask me. That's crazy good cuisine and friends too, right, Yeah.

5:05 There you go. I'll tell you a funny story about friends too. So this girl started talking to me, you know, at hell Fest, most of them are speaking French, okay, and this girl starts talking to me. She didn't really speak English, but she did know one thing to say to me, and she like whispers in my ear and she says, you know, French girls love sex, and well, I'm moving to this country. Surfing, sex, metal, what good foods? You fucking warm? I do love your country too, Yeah, I love driving it. It's beautiful. I mean, it's just amazing. Yeah, and it amazes me.

5:45 I forget exactly where I was, but at the bottom of the mountain it was nice. And I went to the top to go snowboarding, yeah, and I'm like, fuck, it's freezing up it is, you know. I'm like out below, I was like, it's okay, yeah, you know, and then the temperature was so different when I got to the town. I know. I love it ski a ski. That's that thing that I grew up doing, like since I was a little child. I ski all my life and I still love to do it to this day, and that's one of my favorite activities. It's just the risk of injuries kind of is there, you know, so I have to be really careful, especially before we go on torn ship. But I still I love doing it because, hey, let's be honest, when you go ski, there's always.

6:31 More than one beer you're going to drink, you know, and true drink and drive, I guess, is never a good idea. Also on skis, beer, beers and trees don't go well, no, no, no, no at all, not at all. But I'm not gonna what so far, I never got hurt, you know. See, I prefer the snowboarding because like I'm also a skateboarder. I have three different skateboards are all for different reasons. Like I have a surf skate, which is made for like surfing on lamb. I got my trick board, and then I have my longboard. Nice have a paddle for my longboard, so it's a whole different workout. It's like paddle boarding on land, but like works your whole body, you know. But the skis, I have a problem with the two leg thing. I don't have a problem on skates, but I have a problem with the skis.

7:15 I always had them. With the snowboard, I'm like, I have a problem with my feet being locked like on one board. You know, I cannot I cannot spread my legs like keep my feet apart if I would need to or whatever. You know. It's just they're like, I don't have a problem with skateboards or like surfboards because you're. Not locked and jump off, Yeah you can jump off. But with the snowboard, you like. That does bother me for your snowboard too, Like I'm about to say, it's like I like, if I'm if I'm going on a skateboard, I'm about to eat ship. I can jump off. Yeah yeah, if I fall, they just fall off. They would fall off your your feet, you know, they don't hold on to like you like that. I don't know what's it called. The thing you step in made to fall off of your boot if you crash, you know, so they won't hurt you. But with the snowboard, it's like you fucking break everything if you like fall really bad.

8:04 You know. It's like that's what I was good of when I was a little kid all the time. So I just stick to ski all the time. Yeah, exactly. So what led you to metal? Probably my father, well also my mom did both like rock music, and yeah, I think like basically Nickelbeck brought me to metal, and I thought loved Nickelback. I do love Nickelback. And then after Nickelback, I found I don't know, probably Lincoln Park, then Slipknot, and then it went down the hill obviously you know. Yeah, yeah, I always like to express my emotions like very like with loads of like energy and all that, you know. So I found myself in metal again because uh yeah. That's what metal does, right in my opinion, right, I just.

8:47 Had had a little child, so that was a perfect outlet for me to like go crazy and all them, so. No doubt. One other thing I want to touch on is I love that you just released some new merch that's made for the summer. Yeah right, that is freaking. Cool, crazy, especially nowadays when we don't really get a summer anymore. Look at it, it's like raining, Like Europe is so fucking cold at the moment. I'm like, sure, is it supposed to be summer? Like, at least bring some sunshine with the new swim trunks and all that that we just put out. You know. Yeah, So tell everybody how they can get all this cool new Summit's easy.
