So a second time. I think we've been here in

16
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.439
twenty twenty three. Nice on the waist on stage. Today

17
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.079
we're playing the wet stage. It's gonna be fucking sick.

18
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:52.880
We're very stoked.

19
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.039
So so you went from mad Max to getting wet.

20
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.759
You can't put it that way that way right right?

21
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:04.519
Oh?

22
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:09.400
That so so far. And I know you didn't really

23
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.439
get to see things yet. But how do you feel

24
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.719
it's changed or stayed the same from when you were

25
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:17.239
here in twenty twenty three.

26
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.280
I think we're not even trying to. We just it's

27
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.480
it's all natural. We we we just do what we

28
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:31.319
love and we I think one big thing one big

29
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.040
point is that we always try to get better and

30
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.640
get better and get better. We're not like, oh yeah

31
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.319
we're playing vodking. Never mind, we're good enough. No no, no, yeah,

32
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:41.920
we want we want more.

33
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.159
You know that makes you a true artist.

34
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.120
We want to make that the people see our passion

35
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.319
that that's the best thing for us on the world

36
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.560
is being on stage and give have fun with the people.

37
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.000
It's it's it's our thing. It's our promise.

38
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.159
You know, we don't even have to do anymore in

39
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:03.640
the interview. That's the perfect thing, right there, got it, dude,

40
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:08.360
cut it. It is true though, right because like you

41
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.840
have bands that get up there and you can tell

42
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.080
their board or they're not into it.

43
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:15.199
Passion you need.

44
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.199
It's music and it's a transfer of that passion to us.

45
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.080
So how can we be passionate about your music if

46
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:23.840
you're not passionate about it yourself.

47
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:25.560
Yeah, you put it together perfectly.

48
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.439
Yeah, I mean you are. The crowd mirrors your attitude.

49
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.520
If you have on stage, having fun, given all you

50
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.840
got the crowd, that's the same. It's it's literally giving and.

51
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.960
Taking giving it Yeah.

52
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.120
Yeah, in Germany is like giving a taking or is

53
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.800
it like this. It's all about authentic, authentic authenticity.

54
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:55.000
That was very good. You did that. That's a hard word, authenticity,

55
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:55.280
you know.

56
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.960
But no, Yeah, in the States, we do say receiving

57
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.319
because taking, in this respect would be a bad thing.

58
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.159
It's like taking something from somebody, you know, so you're

59
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.800
like going into the crowd and ripping her heart out.

60
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.560
We don't do that, not yet.

61
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:24.800
Only only gwar does that, or maybe heavy Saurus does.

62
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.000
I actually I actually interviewed that, like think I think

63
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.400
I said something like, do you ever get hungry enough

64
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.120
to just like eat the kids?

65
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:43.719
Oh my god? What did they say?

66
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:44.879
Uh?

67
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:46.400
Yeah, man, we do this old time.

68
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:56.120
If decatering is bad, reasonable kids, Yeah, not a good

69
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.919
idea at all. But they aren't pretty cool, Like I'm

70
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.800
remember what I got here and I went to check it,

71
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.719
and like there's stuff splastered all over and I'm like, wow,

72
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.840
this is pretty cool. They really promote these people. Well,

73
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:11.919
dinosaurs and the dragon.

74
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.680
I mean, it's it's the next generation of metal heads, right, perfect,

75
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:16.759
it's it's.

76
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.680
I think all the rest from now on that play

77
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.639
it bucket should just be dinosaurs and dragons.

78
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.120
I mean it's more fucking metal than dinosaur and fucking

79
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:26.600
dragons and they even got.

80
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.759
Fire right on stage.

81
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.199
Yeah. I got a great idea though.

82
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.920
Okay, so if you had the festival of bands of

83
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:40.040
just dinosaurs and dragons, the only people allowed to attend

84
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:46.040
are all the political leaders in the world. Yeah, you

85
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.839
throw them in the pit and the dinosaurs and dragons

86
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:50.920
blow fire and eat them.

87
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:56.199
That's a whole new perception. This is a perceptional perspective,

88
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.240
perspective of Wall of def.

89
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:04.120
Yeah, right, that's about right. Oh Man, death to the Government.

90
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.959
Put him in the Heavy Soaurus pit.

91
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:09.759
The end game.

92
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:11.560
Hell yeah.

93
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.720
So how do you top Heavy Sourus in your in

94
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:16.439
your shows?

95
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:19.879
I think we're not trying to top them. We just

96
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:20.680
like do our thing.

97
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.639
We're going out there, we're ripping a few riffs, singing

98
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.519
a few lines, and I don't know who, we just

99
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.199
do a thing. I'm very pumped and as soon as

100
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.680
I'm up there, I'm like, let's fucking do this. And

101
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:33.360
I don't know, I don't know what to say. It's

102
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.519
like it just works all the time. We're happy to

103
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:37.519
be here.

104
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.600
You don't remind me of like Barney of Napalm Death,

105
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.439
because when you watch him on stage, he's like running

106
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.920
like a maniac the whole time. And that's because he's

107
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.240
so freaking pumped, and that's why it's gotta be. Yeah, right,

108
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.560
like just put it all out there, whether you're set

109
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.120
to half an hour, an hour.

110
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:56.879
Two hours.

111
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:01.480
Yeah, then you could go chill out or die afterwards.

112
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.639
Yeah, this is the good thing about like the best

113
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:05.800
thing about festival One of the best things things about

114
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.319
festival shows is you play a short set, but you

115
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.759
can rip the funk out of it.

116
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.759
Exactly, just fucking give it all you got and never

117
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:18.279
slow down and then just fucking crash out in your

118
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:19.560
whatever you're staying in.

119
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.839
And the best thing the catering is awesome. Yeah, stay less, sayless.

120
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:28.639
I do want to hear about that, because I haven't

121
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.959
talked about that with a boy, and I do talk

122
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.160
about it at different festivals because there's some festivals that

123
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.639
have shit catering, which sucks for the band.

124
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:44.920
Yeah, but but but fucking has the amazing festival amazing

125
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.160

Yeah, what wasn't the last time I got some steaks?

Last time amazing potatoes. It was fucking delicious. You can't

130
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.319
imagine how good it was.

131
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.079
Wow, that's cool. It's just like out there, you know.

132
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.560
I go festivals in the US and I eat because

133
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:08.560
I have to, but I.

134
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:10.040
Don't really enjoy any of it.

135
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.199
And then I went out there last night and I

136
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:19.240
got something in the village and oh my god, it

137
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.040
was so freaking good.

138
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.439
It was only eleven euros and it was so good.

139
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:28.879
German casino, What what did you get?

140
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:29.600
It was?

141
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.639
I have a picture because I showed them a picture

142
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:33.920
because I couldn't pronounce it.

143
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:36.399
Where we're going to teach you?

144
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:36.959
It was.

145
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.800
The funny part is I did try learn German because

146
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.720
I was daying a German girl and I wanted to.

147
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.879
I'm like, this is fucking hard, yes, and she's like,

148
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.040
because we all we use idioms and everything, so basically

149
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.399
it's not translaable. But I also like, really gets me

150
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.800
as you take like a whole sentence and make it

151
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:04.000
one word. But it was a chicken with some garlic

152
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.399
sauce and some noodles. But the flavor it wasn't like

153
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.360
festival flavor. It was like, oh my god, this is

154
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:18.639
so good. That might be it there.

155
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:19.120
It is.

156
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.240
So very delicious.

157
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:27.959
Now I can make you laugh. I'll read it. But

158
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:37.440
I heard you do it, so muse can almost hot

159
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.080
and shinnin.

160
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.919
Yeah, it's kind of hard to make it right.

161
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.799
Yeah, and I'm Jewish, so I'm taking the ch and

162
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.519
go ah, I see yeah, you know like Hebrew.

163
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.919
Yeah, yeah, that one's easy.

164
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.440
Holidays I know that one, okay, because we use that

165
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.519
in the States too. It's not even German, it's it's

166
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:06.679
French though. And oder kenoby like obi wan kenobi.

167
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:13.360
Yeah, kenoby is short for that means like, what is it? Garlic? Yeah, garlic,

168
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.039
that's yeah, It's like it would say golly.

169
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.720
So the means or is what I'm guessing Mitt is

170
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.480
with because you got you picked whether it was the

171
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.879
holidays or the garlic. So that's why I thought maybe Mitt.

172
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:35.639
Was or or is O d e R. Why do you.

173
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.799
Guys also take words and make them longer.

174
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:39.799
I don't fucking know, man, I didn't. I didn't set

175
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.720
up with this language. I was born into this country

176
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:42.799
and I had to learn it.

177
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.000
I had to learn it the hot way, just for

178
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:58.080
the love of the game. Oh man, who's here, who's here?

179
00:09:58.919 --> 00:09:59.879
It's k I joined to.

180
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.600
The other guys came around. You also want to say.

181
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.960
Alone, yes, hello, Now they want to talk because they

182
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.399
realized they were missing the party back here.

183
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.000
They were probably out there. They're like, what's going on

184
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:15.480
in there?

185
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.759
Yeah?

186
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.759
Yeah, if if, if you didn't know what's going on?

187
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.279
Our bassis post Colin, our guitarist KK just arrived.

188
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:29.600
K KK Downing's your guitarists? What KK Downing's your guitars?

189
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.799
You know, the original guitars and Judas priest is KK Downing?

190
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:38.159
Oh yeah, yeah, he's probably at least.

191
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:44.320
Yeah, So fill them in on what's going on so

192
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:44.879
they could.

193
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.720
Be up to date. Okay, so the lading German, okay,

194
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:48.279
if I'm.

195
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.600
Got the bosh as I had hen him a noodle

196
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:58.000
and I was induts that happened. It was catering, catering

197
00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:58.799
in Dutch and cousin.

198
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:07.159
That's West Festivos and Dutch festus Latin into How about.

199
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.480
An effective wall of death Ma's al Wilson's own poopol

200
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:17.080
technique and not against.

201
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.200
Even I understood what you said.

202
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:24.879
Thanks.

203
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.639
Putting all the political leaders in marsh pit, I think

204
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.039
it's there only the bad ones?

205
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:31.039
Are there? Good ones?

206
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:32.279
Probably?

207
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.879
Yeah? I mean, I mean, I mean, I can't think

208
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:38.679
it's gotta do politics, you know.

209
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:41.039
I think they're two sides of the same coin, and

210
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.360
they're all on the same team, and it ain't fucking

211
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:50.960
mine or yours or theirs. But see that's the universal language. Yeah,

212
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.720
put them in the pit. I understood. It doesn't matter

213
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.039
what language you say it in.

214
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.639
So there it is. Put him in the pit, universal languages.

215
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:06.120
Metal heads unite for love against hate, against all that

216
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.519
bullshit that's going on, and we just hug each other

217
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:14.919
after the bad politicians are ruined in the Wall of death.

218
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:16.840
You say, you name it.

219
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.840
That's I couldn't couldn't have said it any better.

220
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:21.720
And do they understand me?

221
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:22.639
Probably?

222
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:23.360
Hope?

223
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.919
Okay, I just want to make sure because then i'd

224
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.639
have to have you translate. It's no fun if they

225
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:31.679
can't understand me.

226
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.759
Not so play the international game. So we we got

227
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.399
to sip up our English game.

228
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:37.720
Yea.

229
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.519
So after this interview, how are you gonna do anything

230
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.600
better at VAKIN than this interview?

231
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:45.039
Playing the show? Maybe?

232
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:49.000
Oh yeah, there's that and the catering.

233
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.639
Yet, but waiting for twelve o'clock is that when the

234
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.279
catering starts at twelve o'clock.

235
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:55.600
Oh yeah, we're playing at three.

236
00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:00.399
It's a late Yeah, they're going.

237
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.080
Okay, singers are always late anyway, so don't bother going.

238
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.720
We always had to do the dirty work here. They

239
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.320
always take it's fun, it doesn't matter.

240
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.720
They always get rid of food from the night before

241
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.039
for the first people that get the catering. The fresh

242
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.519
food comes out for the people to come a little later.

243
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.879
And they know singers, They know singers, and they know

244
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.600
that our singers are always late.

245
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:28.320
Fuck, so that's our job. I signed up for this.

246
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.080
How did you guys all connect to make this great band?

247
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.360
How did we connect? Maybe, Kevin, do you maybe want

248
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:35.720
to say it?

249
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.320
How we met? We all met?

250
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.519
Yeah, I can dig and we had an a band before.

251
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.879
Where we played with Timo.

252
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:49.960
The drummer, Pascal Daniel the other guitarists in me and yeah,

253
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:53.720
after a singer change at this time, we reformed the

254
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.279
band and we call it the Promise or I'll promise

255
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.200
right now. And yeah, then we had to kick the

256
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:06.960
former singer. And now these two guys joined the party. No, yeah,

257
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:07.360
we're in.

258
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.799
So that's why that's why they're early, because they're the

259
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.200
new guys. In town and they showed up early for

260
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.320
the interview. Yes, you guys were on time, they were early.

261
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:22.960
Twenty the singers serious.

262
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.919
No, no, no, liars, that does not happen on the load.

263
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:32.799
Well, listen, have you ever seen like the meme or

264
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:37.279
the joke of singers unloaded? It's for sure we all

265
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:42.639
let they're carrying or Mike struggling, not even this.

266
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.399
Fuck you, I'm always at the load helping you.

267
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.720
Okay, okay, vic, I gotta tell the story from from.

268
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.000
And in Belgium.

269
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:58.799
We we we had like like a short weekend of

270
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:02.080
one run with three show in April, and we were

271
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.360
trying to to be part of the loads. But one

272
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:07.840
day it was an Antwerp and we were sitting in

273
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.720
front of the nightliner with like camping chairs and made

274
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.840
it made ourselves comfortable, and we were talking about, yeah,

275
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.159
should we what is the load? Yeah, we're gonna help,

276
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.720
We're gonna help, and then we take it. Took a

277
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:19.960
look to our backs and.

278
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.320
Everybody's carrying all the heavy things. We were there like

279
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.120
oh shit.

280
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.919
But but then it was already too late, so we

281
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:28.120
we just accepted our fate.

282
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:36.759
We yeah, exactly. It was funny in person.

283
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:40.080
Actually, I'm sure it wasn't fighting for them.

284
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:42.559
I think they didn't even notice.

285
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:43.440
Lucky.

286
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.159
Yeah, but we're trying.

287
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.879
But to be honest, we if someone missed the load,

288
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:49.759
it's us.

289
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:53.879
Just to be sure. At this moment, the load is

290
00:15:53.919 --> 00:16:01.320
going on. So that means you're all singers, and our.

291
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:06.360
Our monitor guy and our mission engineer and our aud

292
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.679
guitarist and our drummer is carrying all the loads stuff.

293
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:15.120
Man, the drummer always has the worst job on load. Yes,

294
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:16.120
you hate this job.

295
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:20.200
We got hands right, I don't know.

296
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:26.480
Oh shoot, yeah, well, so what's your what's your promise

297
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:27.759
for the set today?

298
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:31.200
I think it's safe to say that a promise is

299
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:34.080
that the people are gonna split the fucking center up

300
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:35.960
open and to see a little bit from.

301
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:37.559
The Holy Crown, to see a little bit from the

302
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.840
Holy Crown and split this fucking crowd.

303
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.279
Okay, I have a challenge. I have a challenge for you.

304
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:44.879
Yeah, let's go.

305
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.440
Have you seen the video of slur that prevails while

306
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:50.519
with death at health.

307
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:53.000
As Oh yeah, it's yeah, we we can't.

308
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:53.559
We can't do it.

309
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:55.480
We need to do them. I wine your age.

310
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.600
We run our best at one at one spot in

311
00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:58.279
the show.

312
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:01.360
We're handing the mike to keV which a KK and

313
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:03.679
he's like he's splitting up the crowd and no one's

314
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:04.440
doing it like him.

315
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.440
So if anyone can do it, then he's the guy.

316
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:08.240
There.

317
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:10.759
It is, Yes, so a nasty attitude.

318
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.839
He screams at the people.

319
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.119
Open up this fucking bird, let's go, mother fucker's He's

320
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:18.519
badass on stage, all right, Teddy Midge.

321
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:20.640
Then I have a challenge for him personally.

322
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:23.000
Yeah, he's like he's like a little uh like a

323
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.039
like a raccoon with rabies or some shit.

324
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.240
He's like insane, dude, He's going from study to split

325
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.119
the shut up right fucking out, Foster Biggar. Yeah, he's insane.

326
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:35.319
You gotta see it later.

327
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.160
I do, because here sitting there he seems like this,

328
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:49.039
like well reserved, like good German dude. Ah, dude, you

329
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:50.079
ain't seen nothing.

330
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:51.839
No, he ain't seen nothing. None of us is a

331
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:52.880
good German. All right.

332
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.119
So here here's the challenge.

333
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:57.519
At the festival I did in the States a few

334
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:01.839
months ago in May, Welcome to Rock Bill. The pre

335
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.119
event was called Blood for Blood. It was bare knuckle

336
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:13.440
fighting and music and Florida a veil played before. So

337
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:15.599
what they did is they had fight. They had bam

338
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.119
play fight, bam play fight, and then.

339
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:20.359
That sounds amazing.

340
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:22.160
Alex the Terrible.

341
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:27.400
He was the headline fight and he thought he fought

342
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:32.200
a real bare knuckle fighter, and then he even did

343
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:33.920
his show at.

344
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:35.119
The at the festival.

345
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:40.200
So my challenge, yeah, yeah, my challenge is next year

346
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:43.480
you fight Alex the Terrible.

347
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:48.599
Yeah, Victor's Victor's good fighter.

348
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:50.160
Victor can do that.

349
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:57.920
So Alex, if you heard that, Victor's ready, accept the challenge.

350
00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.960
Alex accept the challenge.

351
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:02.160
No, he will not yet it.

352
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.880
I think he's such a badass that he did get

353
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:07.839
his ass kicked, actually, which surprised me because he's a

354
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:08.799
big fucking dude.

355
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:11.000
But he was like Rocky.

356
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:13.599
He kept getting knocked down and he would like, you know,

357
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:15.759
how to rush and would get up and run around

358
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:17.920
the ring and Rocky for have you seen that movie?

359
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.920
Yeah, and that's what he was doing.

360
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:23.519
But the last one he tried and he just fell

361
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.720
back down and he was like stumbling around. He had

362
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.240
a broken nose and he still did his set.

363
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.640
This this guy is tough as hell.

364
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:34.680
Man fucking did a set with a broken nose.

365
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:39.240
Fucking tough as him, and it's no way to fucking bears.

366
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.799
Yeah, it's fucking this tube is I don't know what

367
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:44.480
to say this this, this tube is amazing.

368
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:46.319
This guy.

369
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.200
Sorry, this guy, I don't even want to shake his hand.

370
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:56.839
He's so tough he's gonna break it without trying. So

371
00:19:57.559 --> 00:19:59.400
what else he got going the rest of the year

372
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:02.359
after the vakin some breeze?

373
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.079
Next next, next Thursday?

374
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:06.240
Actually I heard that's a good one, is it?

375
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.680
And in two weeks ah? Sorry, yeah, in two weeks. Uh.

376
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:12.480
And at the end of the year, we got our

377
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:16.279
second headline tour, the Fearless Tour going on. Is that

378
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.759
your promise, that's our promise, that's our promise.

379
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:23.319
Oh yeah, no, it's it's yeah. And that's it for

380
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:23.880
this year.

381
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:29.400
Actually, and maybe new song incoming forget that.

382
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.599
They're both important. They don't do loading hat the song

383
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:33.480
that's probably wrong.

384
00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:39.519
Oh yeah, we just got the date yesterday the prob

385
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:43.599
Yeah yeah, we won't say though, but it's not taking

386
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:44.400
bath anymore.

387
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:46.480
All right. So there, here's what's gonna happen.

388
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.279

00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:42.960
I think I said something to them when I interviewed him.

405
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:47.599
If you had like a fight between Heavy Sourus and Gwar.

406
