00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.799
Thank you? Tell me about this
hat. You can't do epic shit with

14
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.280
basic people like I'm also a motivational
speaker, so that ship speaks to me

15
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.920
right away. So tell us your
thoughts. This is a designer that's really

16
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.480
a good friend of the rock industry. Cult of individuality, Big up Ron

17
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:44.120
Ron is a designer and his brand
cult of Individuality. We wear a lot

18
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:45.599
of it. Fire from the Gods. Who has a lot of it.

19
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.400
A lot of bands rock his ship. And he said he came up with

20
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.439
his years ago, put it on
a hat, and he said he couldn't

21
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.719
sell he couldn't sell any of them. And then all of a sudden,

22
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.519
you know, it just popped.
And I once I saw it in the

23
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.280
showroom, I was like, I
need this, so I get a bunch

24
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.359
of them. And I'd love the
statement because it's true. You can't do

25
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.519
epic shit with basic people. Man, No, you got to surround yourself

26
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:10.240
with absolute beast. That's right,
absolutely, and you are an absolute beast

27
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.520
here at Welcome to Rockville. Yes, yes, how was it? How

28
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.479
was it out there? Dude?
Today was good. We love festivals.

29
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.159
We thrive in this environment. And
right now we're doing a lot of working

30
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.319
behind the scenes on new records,
new music, new videos, so we

31
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.360
really only have time to do festivals. And you know, it's a blessing

32
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.039
that we were able to make it
out here today. Nice and you're doing

33
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.199
any other Danny Wimmer festivals. It's
on a temples. It's on a temple,

34
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.840
and then it's into the lab and
put our heads down and try to

35
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.400
write the album of our career.
Oh I can't wait for that. People

36
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.439
need it, man, Oh absolutely. I think music is needed more than

37
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.240
ever. Right now. We're in
mental health Awareness Month and music is the

38
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.680
best freaking therapy there is. Tell
you tell me about it, brother.

39
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.400
I'm at war with a lot of
things in my life now anyway, So

40
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.360
and it's just it's just a weird
time, you know. I got another

41
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:09.159
kid coming and congrats. Yeah really
now I'm joking half my babies, man,

42
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.000
And I'm glad. I'm glad for
another one. But right now,

43
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.919
my the focus is on building rebuilding
myself. Man. I got a little

44
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.439
lost in the sauce for a little
bit there with with you know, my

45
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.639
career and and it. You know, I I heard a lot of people

46
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:29.599
around me and a lot of people
depend on me. So I had to

47
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.360
realize that I couldn't be a fuck
to it anymore, you know. I

48
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.840
had to get the fuck up and
do the right thing. And what that

49
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.840
right there is what makes you a
fucking amazing human being, because not not

50
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:46.520
only that you recognized it but that
you are publicly openly talking about it,

51
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:51.240
you know, And that's the first
man, and that's that's the Fire from

52
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.159
the Gods is honest, bro,
And I can't. I cannot be honest.

53
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.479
You know. I've tried it in
so many different ways. But you

54
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.199
gotta be real to yourself. And
I think if I'm going to impart and

55
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:08.520
leave something for anyone, especially my
kids, I need them to know that,

56
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.680
you know, your daddy was a
real one. There you go,

57
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.360
gotta leave your legacy, and that's
the legacy more so than the music,

58
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:20.319
right, that's the legacy more than
that exactly. So what can we expect

59
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:25.399
from all this new stuff coming from
you going back to the streets? Man?

60
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.199
With it, We're going, you
know, we're we want to bring

61
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.959
the heavy back, the heavy.
And I'm not saying that there is an

62
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.360
heavy shit out there, because there's
a lot of heavy shit out there,

63
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.720
but heavy in the sense of what
Fire from the Gods does, you know

64
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.959
what I'm saying. We are.
We played touch and go with the scene

65
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.519
a little bit, and we did
a lot of amazing stuff towards with Corn

66
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.399
and five Finger and Megodath and all
this amazing iconic stuff in the but it's

67
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:53.560
time for us to find our own
way, you know, and establish ourselves

68
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.560
as a band. Are we are
we here to stay or are we just

69
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.600
going to be some you know?
Oh they had a good couple records,

70
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.759
right right, And and you know
what, the attitude that you have specifically

71
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.680
as a person and everything you're doing
is what's going to make you the icon

72
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:15.240
that last time. I talk about
it all the time because there's bands that

73
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:20.519
come into this business for the business, which they're idiots, because it's it's

74
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.279
the wrong business if that's why you're
coming. And then there's bands that are

75
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.560
true to being an artist. Those
are the long last sing and that's you,

76
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.040
brother dude. But I've told you
all the time. You know what

77
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:38.000
you do is you're taking down history. You know what I'm saying. You

78
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:43.040
have the music's there and the photos
and the videos. You know that you

79
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.759
give us a voice outside of that, right, So people are going to

80
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.480
hear that and once it hits the
tape, that's it, right I'm saying,

81
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:54.680
So continue doing what you're doing because
we need you. Man. Well

82
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.399
thanks, I appreciate that out here, not everybody appreciates it, So I

83
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.759
like that and you do have a
voice here, and you know with that

84
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.560
voice, what do you want people
to know? Your voice? What do

85
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:12.800
you want people to know you love
yourself in their strength and peace? You

86
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.920
know what I'm saying, Especially when
I talk to people that I come in

87
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.839
contact with every day, and when
you talk to your people in the streets

88
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:26.160
and you see your family and stuff
like that. We've tried hate, we've

89
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.360
tried conflict, and there's been so
much of that. Why don't we try

90
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.240
a little bit of love? And
love can be tough too, trust me,

91
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.839
you know what I'm saying. Because
tough love sometimes whims and when people

92
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.480
want to get out of hand,
maybe you got to knock them up beside

93
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:46.519
their head once in times that's what
they need exactly. And so basically,

94
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.800
if you were describe what you want
your legacy as a musician to be,

95
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:59.639
what is it? Change yourself in
order to change the world. That's it.

96
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.279
And see I love to change the
world part too, because as an

97
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:08.800
artist, you are changing the world. And what your voice is. That's

98
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.800
why I like to give somebody like
you a voice, because your voice can

99
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.160
make the difference good or bad.
Yes, and I think your voice is

100
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.800
a good voice for not only the
music community, but the community as a

101
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:24.319
whole, because you're so right,
Like we've tried, Hey, we've tried

102
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:29.199
all this other bullshit. We're falling
for this division bullshit. We're all one

103
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:33.199
people and we should all just love, respect and help each other just like

104
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.040
we do in the pit. And
that's the exactly and that's the only way

105
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.480
we're gonna make you brother. That's
it all right. I love it you

106
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.240
guys, rock. I can't wait
to hear more from you guys and all

107
