June at Grass Pop, in August Labor Day Weekend, Roklahoma,

14
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.480
Louder than Life, and now upcoming after Shock. So let's

15
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.239
welcome to a show. Richie Faulkner of Judas Priest, how

16
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:17.560
are you.

17
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.599
I'm doing very well man. Good to see you. I

18
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.640
didn't realize you were at those shows. Dude. There were

19
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.159
some good shows right there.

20
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:24.359
No doubt.

21
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:24.680
Yeah.

22
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.959
I cover all the Dandy Wimmer festivals, but I also

23
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.680
do the European and the UK festivals. I do all

24
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.879
over the US, and yes, I've been lucky enough to

25
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.560
see you guys, probably for like the two thousandth time

26
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.680
past few weeks, and we've got one coming up.

27
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.920
As you said after Shop Ryan, Sacramento.

28
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.040
Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be fun. That's my birthday weekend.

29
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:50.799
We would you get Priest and Maiden together?

30
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.760
I know, that's wild. I used to see Priests and

31
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.519
Maiden together when I was a teenager in the eighties,

32
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.840
like all the time, so it's like a reunion.

33
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.120
I was talking to Rob about it the other day,

34
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.760
and the last time they played together like that we

35
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.760
played with them last year at the Aftershop Festival, but

36
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.960
that was not on the same day. But I asked Rob,

37
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:12.960
when was the last time you guys played were Maiden

38
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.879
on the same day, and he thinks it's back on

39
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.639
point of entry when they played together, like back in

40
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.439
the early eighties. So it would be great as a

41
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.919
fan as well. You know, I'd love to see Priest

42
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.199
and Maiden on a bill. And we were talking about

43
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:28.919
getting a photo together because I don't think there's a

44
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.960
photo of Priest and Maiden together, so hopefully we can

45
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.439
get a photo together in Sacramento.

46
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.280
That's pretty cool. And you know, I know that one

47
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.080
time Steve Harris said to you way back when that

48
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.960
if anything anything happened to anybody in the band that

49
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:46.639
they would bring you right in.

50
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.919
Well, yeah, he kind of he said, yeah, if anything

51
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.919
happened to any of his guys, I would have been

52
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.080
the next phone call, which is I don't know what

53
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.360
you call it, like a validation like and then some

54
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.599
you know what I mean, if if Harris would have

55
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.879
you in his band, that's amazing. But Steve was one

56
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.120
of the first people I told when I got the

57
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.199
when I got the gig in Priest. You know, I

58
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.520
was obviously in Lauren and his daughter's band, and I

59
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.360
told the band first, and then I told Steve, and

60
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.919
he couldn't have been happier. You know. He thought it

61
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.120
was a great opportunity. He loves Priest and he was

62
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.240
more than happy to see me do something like that.

63
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.120
You know, well that says a lot about you as

64
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.159
a musician at like two of the most iconic metal

65
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.120
bands in history both wanted you.

66
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.080
I mean, yeah, I mean that's well, obviously the Maiden

67
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.400
didn't be He was just saying, if anything happened, I

68
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:43.479
would run, you know. But but yeah, it was great

69
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.319
to be you know, obviously I was. I knew Steve

70
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.599
before before Priest, and yeah, it's great to be in

71
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.919
those two camps. You know, they're both favorite bands of mine, obviously,

72
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.360
so it's good to now know both made An and

73
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.000
priest Per's crazy.

74
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:07.039
Really yeah, totally, And as somebody myself that recent years

75
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:11.000
had my own heart issues, I was at Louderlan Life

76
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.360
in twenty twenty one, so I was super excited to

77
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.959
see you playing there in twenty twenty four.

78
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:22.399
Well, as you can imagine, there were a few personal

79
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:26.240
milestones on that show last weekend. You know, I didn't

80
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.680
make too much of a public thing about it because

81
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.319
everyone seems to do that, and you know, it's a

82
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.920
personal thing. But there was a moment in twenty twenty one.

83
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.079
We all know what happened. But at the end of

84
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.399
the show, at the end of Painkiller, I usually lift

85
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:43.040
the guitar above my head, and I couldn't do it. Obviously,

86
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:47.480
everything was happening internally. I didn't have the strength to

87
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.959
do it. So when this one came around twenty twenty four,

88
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.560
there was a moment right at the end of Painkiller,

89
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.040
I looked out of the crowd and then lifted the

90
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.959
guitar above my head and no one knew but me.

91
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.480
That was my moment. That was kind of a kind

92
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.079
of a personal milestone, like I finished the gig as

93
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.720
I meant to finish it. It's taken me three years

94
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:09.639
to get back and do it, but I did it.

95
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.959
So it was a personal a personal milestone, and also

96
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.879
the first one. In twenty twenty one, my daughter she

97
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.240
was just a little over one year old and she

98
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.519
was at home. She had no idea about what was

99
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.959
going on. This time. They came down the front in

100
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.639
the pit, her and my other half, and you know,

101
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.120
I teared up a bit seeing my little girl down there.

102
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.079
If she's four years old, she was in a leather jacket.

103
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:33.959
She was having fun.

104
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:34.560
Wow.

105
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.879
And so we've gone from the you know, the one

106
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.439
when she was one and now she's four in her

107
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.399
leather jacket, and it kind of makes you realize what

108
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:45.959
you've been through and how long it's taken.

109
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.639
But you've got there, you know, no doubt, and it's

110
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.720
it's amazing because, like, you know, what you went through,

111
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.839
some people wouldn't be here in twenty twenty four and

112
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.920
now you're in all these festivals on tour. New music

113
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.000
like by the Way, the newest album that came out

114
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.600
in March, that's some of the best Priests music ever

115
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.160
and that's coming from somebody who that has been seeing

116
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:11.959
priests since nineteen eighty.

117
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.959
I appreciate that. Man, I'm glad you enjoy it. I'm

118
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.439
glad you liked the record. But yeah, I think the

119
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.120
first thing, you're right, people don't usually make it to

120
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.720
the hospital with that when that happens. So fortunately I

121
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.480
made it to the hospital. You know, they worked on me,

122
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.839
they saved my life. And then I think when you

123
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.399
come out at the other side of that, I think

124
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:37.920
my first well, one of my first goals was to

125
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.600
get back on the guitar, get back to health, and

126
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.560
get back on the road back in twenty twenty two,

127
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.000
and we went out in March twenty two. And then

128
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:49.079
there's something in your brain that kind of changes. You know,

129
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.199
we're not here forever, and we all know that, but

130
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.519
you don't quite know what's around the corner. So if

131
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.199
you've got some ideas, if you've got some riffs and

132
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.560
melodies and ideas for an album or a book, or

133
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.160
if you haven't seen your family for a while, there's

134
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.000
something in your brain that says, do it, get it done,

135
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:08.920
get it out there. So it was back on the road,

136
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.800
back in the studio, getting back to some sort of

137
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.040
normality because you never know what's around the corner, as you.

138
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.360
Know, oh one hundred percent, and like it's funny because

139
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.480
before that happens like I had two heart attacks two

140
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:27.600
years in a row, and both surfing, So like two

141
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:31.920
thousand and the twenty seventeen I was in hawaiisurfing, had

142
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.079
a heart attack, and then got cleared a year later.

143
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.439
You know how you go through that whole year of

144
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.360
like recuperation. Carrio just clears me. I decide I'm gonna

145
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.560
go to Costa Rica and celebrate and go surfing, and

146
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.480
had like a massive heart attack.

147
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.839
Oh no, well, and.

148
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.600
Uh, you know before that, it's like I'm invincible, right

149
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:59.279
pun intended, but yeah, I'm invincible. And then you just realize,

150
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.319
like I've always lived life to fullest every day, but

151
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:06.600
you realize it even more, like listen, you want, like

152
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.920
you said, you want to get everything you have out

153
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.720
of you because you never know what's around the corner.

154
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.360
That's right, And it's glad you're still here. By the way, man,

155
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:16.160
I'm glad you're healthy.

156
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:16.399
Things.

157
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.000
I don't know that there's there's always something that drives you.

158
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.279
There's always you know, creative stuff. It comes from somewhere

159
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:29.279
and you're driven you have to record it or put

160
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.319
it out or let people hear it. I don't know

161
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.200
what quite does that, but it's another driving factor. It

162
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.080
becomes very clear, your mortality becomes really clear to you.

163
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.919
And it's just another driving not that I'm driven by

164
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.279
fear of dying or anything like that, but it's just

165
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.159
it's reality, really, and it's another driving factor that pushes

166
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.639
those ideas out and those songs and those risks and

167
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:57.879
stuff that you get in your head. You're driven even

168
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.200
more so to put them onto tape and get them

169
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:00.960
out there hopefully.

170
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.159
And you're right, because like I'm not driven by fear,

171
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.399
I'm driven by living, you know. So it's like I'm

172
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.039
not afraid of dying, but i want to accomplish a

173
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.679
lot more while I'm here and not waste any time

174
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.320
doing which is the same philosophy there.

175
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:17.519
So that's right.

176
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:20.799
Tell me, tell me what else do you want to

177
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.919
accomplish in music that has still been something that's a

178
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.960
goal that we can look for in the future.

179
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.799
That's a great question. I mean, I'm I'm the guitar

180
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.480
player in Judas Priest. You know, I've written three albums

181
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.639
with them, I've been on I think five world tours.

182
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.480
At the moment, I accompanied them with the Rock and

183
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.279
Roll Hall of Fame. There's not there's you know, kind

184
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:51.159
of I'll be happy with that, Yeah, right, you don't.

185
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.039
You don't get bigger than that. So everything else, really,

186
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:54.519
every day is a bonus. You know, we're out on

187
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:59.240
this tour at the moment. But there's always something creatively

188
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.360
that you haven't dine and it will always be that

189
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.200
way you could do. You could be the hardest working

190
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.600
musician in the world, and on your deathbed there will

191
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.600
still be something that you wanted to achieve. You know.

192
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.240
That's just the way the life is, you know. But

193
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.399
so yeah, it's I don't know what it is, but

194
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.879
you're always trying to achieve a better version of what

195
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.600
you can do, or better statement in your music, or

196
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.919
better better solos, a solo that speaks better or more technical,

197
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.519
or a better song or better connection, whatever it is.

198
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.320
You're always searching for that. And I don't think that

199
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:35.080
will ever end, you.

200
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.960
Know, Yeah, absolutely? And so how about also the four

201
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:44.480
year old, is she gonna get into music like you

202
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.919
got into music very young because of your dad, right.

203
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.919
That's correct. Yeah, you never know. It's funny with with kids.

204
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.799
They get into stuff sometimes because you are, and then

205
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.600
sometimes it's the opposite. They don't get into stuff because

206
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.879
you are. They're bored of it. For example, she's been

207
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:07.480
around music and guitars all her life. She might get

208
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.919
to a point where it's because of that she just

209
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.039
doesn't want anything to do with it, you know. But

210
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.840
then on the other flip side of that, it could

211
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.799
be totally different. She could be introduced to music and

212
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.600
something that she loves because she's around that. So you

213
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.279
never quite know how it's going to turn out. You

214
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:27.200
just got to kind of support whatever way they go

215
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:30.879
and don't push them into anything. I know at the moment,

216
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:34.960
she loves drums, she loves Scott's kit. Whenever she comes down,

217
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:36.799
Scott lets her get up on the kit and stuff.

218
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.840
She loves to sing, she loves to dance and stuff.

219
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:42.159
But all kids do at that age, you know what

220
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.759
I mean. So it's just seeing which way they.

221
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:48.480
Go and is she a big fan of your music

222
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:50.679
because it goes the same way too. With kids, it's like,

223
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.759
you know, they're either like it what you do, or

224
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.000
they're like embarrassed by it, or they don't like it,

225
00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.759
or they're going in a different direction, all those things.

226
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:01.960
No, she loves it. At the moment, she loves the

227
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.279
whole thing. She loves when they come out on the road.

228
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:06.000
We take her out as much as we can. We

229
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.360
take her to Europe, we take her to Japan and

230
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.519
stuff for the kind of education of real life, you know.

231
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:17.919
But some kids you get out there and they're crying backstage,

232
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.200
they don't want to be there. But she loves it.

233
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.879
She dances at everything. She loves the music. But I'm

234
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:25.960
sure when she gets to like twelve or thirteen, and

235
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.879
she's gonna rebel and hate what DA does. But at

236
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.360
the moment, she still likes it. She loves she loves

237
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:32.000
Panic Attack.

238
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.440
I love it. And that's an amazing feeling, isn't it

239
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.960
when your kids out there dancing to your music.

240
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:40.759
As I said, you know, they walked in front of

241
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:45.240
me in the pit Louder than life last weekend and

242
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.320
I had to kind of put my head down. I

243
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.639
teared up. I didn't want anyone to see. But it's

244
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:52.200
an emotional thing, you know, when they're getting into your

245
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.559
stuff and they're happy, and she's a smart kid. And

246
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:59.000
as I said, she travels a lot with us. So

247
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.360
hopefully you never know, parent if you're doing the right thing.

248
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.200
You just do what feels right. So hopefully we're giving

249
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.360
her a good foundation and she'll find her own path,

250
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:09.200
you know, as we all do. And it might not

251
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.919
be my path, but it might as long as you

252
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.879
kind of again support them and guide them on that

253
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.759
way over they choose. But I'm sure she'll get to

254
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.440
an age where she hates this stuff. She doesn't want

255
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.039
to talk about it, she's embarrassed to even you know,

256
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:22.960
talk about it around her friends. But at the moment,

257
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:24.279
she's still into it. So that's good.

258
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.799
There you go. I love it. And so after shock,

259
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:31.639
that's that's one of my favorite Danny Wimmer festivals. It's

260
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:35.919
it's a cool vibe there, it's fun. I always ask

261
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.120
the artists I play the Danny Wimmer festivals, how it

262
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:42.440
feels like you've played festivals all over the world, how

263
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:44.639
do you like playing the Danny Wimmer festivals because I

264
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.279
get a lot of great feedback of about how Danny

265
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:48.840
treats the artists.

266
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:54.600
Yeah, it's always comfortable, it's always I mean, you get

267
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:56.639
some of these festivals in Europe, which have been going

268
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:00.080
twenty five years now, you know, so they've had the

269
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:04.039
time to evolve and you know, change anything that needs

270
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:06.960
to be changed. And for a while the festivals in

271
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:09.799
the US were catching up to that, you know. Yeah,

272
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:11.679
but I think you know, festivals like the dining wom

273
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:14.960
My festivals, they are on par with those kind of things. Now,

274
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.440
you know, you've got health Fest and Wakon and stuff

275
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.159
like that in Europe, and the women festivals are kind

276
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.879
of catching up to that level of not only for

277
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:25.639
the fans, but for the bands as well. You know,

278
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.679
we enjoy doing those festivals. We know what to expect,

279
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.840
and when you're on a tour like this, you know,

280
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.840
everything's kind of you know, gig after gig after gig,

281
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.120
so you want it to run smoothly, and those those

282
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:38.519
festivals really do do that.

283
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.879
Yeah. You know, you mentioned health Ast and I was.

284
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.159
I cover health Ast too, but I was absolutely amazed

285
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:47.120
the first time I did health As. It was the

286
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:51.200
first one after COVID with the three hundred and sixty bands, right,

287
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.159
and I'm interviewing all these bands and they're just tell

288
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:59.799
me it was the easiest, most stressful, stress free loading ever,

289
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.919
Like the soundcheck was done five minutes and from what

290
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.600
I heard, there was not one band that had any

291
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.960
problems with sound. That to me an artist, that's like

292
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.720
the dream, right, you know, like as you don't want

293
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.720
that stress. It's not your sound people, it's not like

294
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.559
it's your show. You're going festival and you want to

295
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.519
just be stress free so you can get up there

296
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:21.080
and have fun.

297
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.200
That's correct. Yeah, I mean there's always an element of

298
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:28.399
the unknown, especially with festivals. It's not your gig, it's

299
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.639
not yours. It's unfamiliar. You know, you're coming into a situation.

300
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:36.919
Our crew is coming into a situation. It might be weather,

301
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.720
it might be you know, the the technical aspects of

302
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:44.960
the equipment there. So there's always an element of the unknown.

303
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.320
So I think you don't expect it to be one

304
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.320
hundred percent, but as close as you can get it to.

305
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:54.879
That is obviously going to be a joy for any

306
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.559
artist coming in, any crew coming in the most the

307
00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.799
smoother they can have it, the better it is for

308
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:01.639
every everyone, and the better show that everyone gets at

309
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:02.200
the end of the day.

310
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:06.000
You know, absolutely well, I'm looking forward to being at

311
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.879
your set at Aftershock. You're gonna kill it. And thanks

312
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:12.440
a lot for like just giving us great music when

313
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.720
we probably need it most, because music is the best

314
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.399
therapy and the best uniter and Jews priest has always

315
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.279
united the world forever as long as I'm into music,

316
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:24.360
So I'm glad that you're keeping that alive.
