it it's incredible. It's the people that

14
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.519
make a festival, you know,
no doubt about it. The bands do

15
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.400
the thing, but you know,
it's the it's it's not what makes it

16
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.840
really is makes it, you know, so absolutely one hundred percent. And

17
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.560
don't you love at this festival?
How there's never overlapping. So if you're

18
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.000
in ten Dee, come in this
festival, they can watch your whole set.

19
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.799
Yeah, and mad Ball's whole set
and every band's whole set because there's

20
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.120
no overlapping like at other festivals.
And you got to make a choice.

21
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.159
Yeah that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well I think a lot

22
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.799
of people have made the right choice
when they come to see her. Yeah,

23
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.959
it was packed right down the street. I couldn't believe how many people

24
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.199
were there. You know. It
was great, wasn't it. It was?

25
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.560
How's that feel after doing it as
many years as you've guys have been

26
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.479
known, it feels fresh and it
feels really good, you know. I

27
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:21.120
mean the thing is, what do
you do? You know? You never

28
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.000
I never grow tired of it.
I enjoy playing the songs, I enjoy

29
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.639
playing the set with the guys,
you know, and I enjoy more than

30
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.680
anything meeting the audience, you know, nice because we we somehow connect with

31
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.039
our audiences, you know, through
something. And what is I'm so happy

32
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.319
about is that. Yes, there's
a lot of there's nostalgia there. People

33
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.080
come to see no, no,
no, you know, I was there

34
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.080
in nineteen seventy seven, eighty nine, oh, I was there in ninety.

35
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.360
But also you know their children and
the music, you know, the

36
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.039
next generation like it and then they're
killed like it. And there's no age

37
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:59.360
limit on this music. No,
this music. I'm so happy to say.

38
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:00.520
I think we're probably outlive me,
you know what I mean. I

39
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.319
mean, I'm thank god Uncle will
always stick around. Thank God, because

40
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.960
not all genres have no no,
no. It's got something for the people.

41
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.919
The style, the clothes, the
spirit, and it means something.

42
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.000
And you know, I think I
said that tonight on stage, didn't I

43
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:16.360
Yeah, you can't say enough of
it. I don't think, you know,

44
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.439
but the people are so kind to
us, and you know, it

45
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.719
was just the atmosphere you can't describe. You've got to be here people to

46
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.919
feel it. Yeah, and you
know, it's incredible. I really enjoyed

47
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.080
it, you know. And I
could tell, like listen, I've gone

48
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.599
to enough shows that you can tell
if somebody's up there going through the motions

49
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.840
or they're just having a great time. And I was watching you guys on

50
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.800
stage, I'm like, man,
they're just having the time and their life

51
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:46.479
up there. Yeah, let's just
that's what I think. You know,

52
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.080
it was great the people, you
know, gave it up for us,

53
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.199
and they they were there and you
see people singing, and then you can

54
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.960
bounce off that and you see individual
people and then you realize you saw that

55
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.280
guy many years ago, that lady
so many hey, and then and then

56
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.120
they're going, they're singing back at
you, and it goes backwards and forwards,

57
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:10.560
and then you look back and then
people are poe going and you know,

58
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.240
dancing and doing this, and you
think this is the best place to

59
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:16.279
be in the planet at the moment. You know what I mean, right,

60
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.079
I think if you come to pump
Rop Bowling, you can't go wrong,

61
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.519
can you, No, you can. I love this festival. I

62
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.600
go on tour and do all kinds
of music festivals. It's one of my

63
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.839
favorites, just because it's got so
much to offer. We're one big family.

64
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.360
There are no outcasts here. We're
all in casts. No, you

65
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.680
can go to anybody and talk to
them. You can talk about music,

66
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.000
you can open up your life,
you can talk about more things. Everybody's

67
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.240
open and receptive, you know what
I mean. It's just I think it's

68
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.319
such a great atmosphere. I can't
want. I mean, I've been out

69
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.839
talking to so many people. I'm
gonna sit down and look at the acts,

70
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:54.000
you know, they've got. They've
got nice places for to sit there

71
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.720
you go, and I'm going to
do with that luxury for the artists,

72
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.040
you know. So it's there an
artist in all your life that you've wanted

73
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:06.120
to see that you've never gotten to
see. Huh. So many I'd love

74
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.959
to have seen Muddy Waters live,
you know, nice because he's a man

75
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.600
who connects with the spirit and the
feeling, you know, he goes.

76
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.439
I'm a man, you know,
and to a certain extent that's all I

77
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.680
do as well, you know what
I mean, but in a different way

78
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.600
and a different thing. But I
think, you know, I would like

79
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.639
to see them, and also want
to see my dear friends the descendants tonight,

80
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.160
you know, because they're so kind
to nine nine nine. They just

81
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:40.480
came to England and they did an
interview with a big national newspaper kind of

82
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:45.000
like the New York Times or you
know, something like that, and they

83
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:46.639
people said, well, what bands
you like? They said, well,

84
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.120
we like nine nine nine And the
paper said, well why is that?

85
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.000
They said, There's just the right
amount of punk and rock for us.

86
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.600
Love it. I couldn't have put
that better myself. That quite a great

87
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:04.519
way, right of all people to
get a compliment like that from Yeah,

88
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.879
he's known as one of the best
songwriters in punk rock. So I mean,

89
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.120
give me Suburban Home. I love
the ethos of those songs, you

90
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.279
know, right, it just connects, you know, very similar to nine

91
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.199
on nine. You know, I'm
not comparing myself to the descendants, but

92
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:24.199
there are aspects that we both look
at as musicians, right and as songwriters

93
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.279
that you know, strike a chord, you know. And and we're so

94
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.120
lucky because here in the States,
you know, we came to play as

95
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:36.000
young men back in seventy nine,
and a lot of young kids came to

96
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:43.199
see us and all the skateboard thing
and and later on, these these kids

97
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.120
became producers in TV programs and the
movies, you know, and we get

98
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:51.079
all our homicide, you know,
and inside out that's been used on the

99
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:58.120
Bear in the Continental the Killing of
America. And I think it's those kids

100
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:02.879
who like the music then grew up
to be movie producers and wanted the things,

101
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:08.240
and then so they use our music
and we get rewarded in nice ways.

102
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.040
It comes back to you, you
know, in ways you don't expect

103
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.279
it's gonna come back to you.
You know what I mean, helps you

104
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.560
to keep going, you know what
I mean one percent? And you know

105
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:21.240
I love what you were saying before
about how long Pumpkin's gonna last? Because

106
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:27.480
to me, punkins not only lasted, but evolved because when I was a

107
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.160
teenager, I was a long hair
and you know what that meant. I

108
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.360
couldn't go to a punk show,
And like some of my favorite artists,

109
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:42.160
I can go to their shows.
Discharge, GBH, exploited Subhumans, you

110
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.240
know, wasn't allowed to go.
It's funny because I was talking to people

111
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:51.560
like Wadie and Discharge and GBH recently
in interviews the past couple of years.

112
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:56.319
I'm like, you know, this
is the first time I ever got to

113
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.279
see you live because I wasn't allowed
to when I was a sheenager. But

114
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.240
the thing is, we're not like
that now. It's not like that now.

115
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.160
You know, we say, whatever
you are, whatever you like,

116
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.399
whatever you background, you come from, gay, straight, you know,

117
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.399
long hair, short hair, whatever, come and see our music. It's

118
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.240
about that's what breaks down the barriers. That's what's better now about punk punk.

119
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.800
It breaks so inclusive, man,
it's so inclusive, and you know

120
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.399
you can you'll never be ashamed of
talking to a bunk cause and they're not.

121
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.720
They're not prejudiced in you know anyway, you know, because they have

122
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.840
experience, sometimes prejudiced against themselves to
what they have, and you know,

123
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:35.519
it's made them tougher, stronger people, you know what I mean. Oh

124
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.960
yeah, and that's what I believe. And I don't care. I'll talk

125
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.039
to anybody. I mean. When
we first started, you know here in

126
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.080
the States in nineteen seventy nine,
we're one of the first bands to come

127
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.519
in of that first wave. You
know, you had bands like The Police,

128
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.240
Ultra Arcs, XDC. Do you
remember those. Yeah. Yeah,

129
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.000
we came in as part of that
first wave, you know, and that

130
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.759
was really exciting, you know,
because nobody else was doing it. And

131
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:03.879
here we were all of a sudden, you know, back home and London,

132
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.279
they said you shouldn't go to the
USA, you know, it's pouring

133
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.200
the USA. And then we spoke
to our fans and says, do you

134
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.720
think we should go? They say, go? Now, we were you

135
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.720
go because and you know what,
we went, and we went. It's

136
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.600
no different, man. You know. You know, it's funny about that.

137
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.600
In the US, growing up,
my dream was to go to the

138
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.159
UK because that's where the punk scene
was. You know. It's so funny

139
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.639
because I talked to people from the
UK and it's like coming to you lit,

140
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.799
So we both are thinking the same
thing, right, Yeah, it's

141
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.919
amazing, So I said, I
think breaks down all barriers, you know.

142
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.600
Yeah, just get cameras to take
a couple of shots together. Yeah,

143
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.759
let's take a couple of shots.
There it is. Hey, here

144
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.799
it is homicide. Homicide, homicide, homicide. Great, I love it.
