20
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.239
like summer camp for us in a way. You get

21
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.200
right people you don't normally see. You know, that's what's cool.

22
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.200
Like I do all the festivals, but this is the

23
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.560
coolest festival because it is press artists area, because everybody

24
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.920
does just come and hang out here and chill and

25
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:42.680
you like that.

26
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.120
It's a lot of trees and the waters close like

27
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.040
some of these festivals are in straight up like on

28
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.480
the tarmac of like a NASCAR track or I ain't

29
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.359
slighting anyone, but you know, like.

30
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.439
An old Sears parking lot, like a park something like

31
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:57.319
boiling hot.

32
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:58.959
Yeah, something that is.

33
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:04.120
Like super conduce to like like magnifying heat usually.

34
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.400
So this is nice. With the trees in the green,

35
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:07.840
it's very cool.

36
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.719
So you should have seen last night when Slipknot played. Okay,

37
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:17.919
there's yeah, Cory's like, what the fuck was is with

38
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:19.400
all the people in the trees.

39
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.800
Yeah, there was people in the trees. Like literally, it

40
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.479
is the best way to see if you're not gonna

41
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.000
get up close. It's like, just climb up the tree.

42
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.280
Do they have like a tree police here or anything?

43
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:30.479
Like?

44
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.960
Nobody stopped him, Like they're just chilling up there. I

45
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:35.599
have a picture of one of the chicks up in

46
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.400
the tree and she was way up there, just chilling

47
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.280
like this. And it did catch Corey's attention. There's like

48
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.120
this sea of people and then he's like, what the

49
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:46.919
fuck with the people in the trees.

50
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.719
I'll tell you who else's attention it caught was the

51
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:51.840
festival insurance.

52
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.120
Yes, like slub that's for sure.

53
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:55.960
He's out there.

54
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.759
You know, there's gonna be a new addendum next year

55
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.840
for the insurance. Is gonna be like, yeah, no, people

56
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.039
in the tree, we need tree insurance.

57
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:05.439
No doubt.

58
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.360
But you are right, that is something cool. When it's

59
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.360
really hot out, just go chill under the tree.

60
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:13.840
Could just have a little greenness.

61
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:14.159
That's right.

62
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.319
And it is like kind of that cool like you're

63
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.240
in a park, You're not at a like you said,

64
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:23.680
some concrete jungle.

65
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:24.680
Very much so.

66
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:29.319
So I love the pug. I had a pug and

67
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.560
tell me about cocaine pug.

68
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:33.680
I was hoping this shirt would be a hit today,

69
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.439
but no, he just looks like my pug and my

70
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.360
pug's insane. And I found this online and I was like,

71
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.199
that's the best shirt ever. So I grabbed it.

72
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.800
So many many years ago, my daughter was gaining bup

73
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.280
mitzvud and she goes and wants to pick out a

74
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:52.840
dog for her present, and she points out this pug

75
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.159
and I remember saying, or I'm like, why do you

76
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:57.800
want such an ugly dog?

77
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.080
Why do you want to call a dog that does cocaine?

78
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:01.639
Right?

79
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.000
There you go? But best dog I ever had in

80
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:05.800
my fucking life.

81
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.800
They're so loyal Oh, for their loyalty. That's why they

82
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.400
were the lab dog of kings.

83
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.319
Yeah, ancient times.

84
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.199
I would go out on the road, you know, go

85
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.560
on tour to doot these festivals, and my wife would

86
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.040
be like, she just sat by the door the whole

87
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:28.040
time waiting for you. It's it's wild. So what new

88
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.000
do you guys have to say right now? You got

89
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.360
a new album that came out not too long ago.

90
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.240
I think that's badass. How you write new music after

91
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:37.680
all these years we're helping.

92
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:43.319
That says everything you know is you know, it's no

93
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.600
real like formula to it these days. I think when

94
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.839
we were young and just starting the band and stuff,

95
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.240
it was more of like you know, the literal being

96
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:56.600
in a garage, like together looking at each other like okay,

97
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.040
you do this, blah blah blah, you know, like yeah,

98
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.639
work in the work in the clay. Nowadays we still

99
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.800
do that, it happens, but we tend to write a

100
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.399
lot on our own, and you know, being the the

101
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.000
you know, twenty twenty four, the technical revolution, we're yeah,

102
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.959
emailing stuff to each other now and there's some magic

103
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:23.120
to be had there, you know, just like getting surprised

104
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.199
with the riff or something, and you're like, oh, what

105
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:25.959
can I do to this?

106
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.519
And we've been doing it like that a lot.

107
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.879
Do you like it better now with that ability to

108
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:33.800
do that then way back when where you had to

109
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:35.160
do the archaic things.

110
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:37.319
I think it's cool.

111
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:42.480
I think the technology thing is is super well. What

112
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.800
I like about it a lot is I can scratch

113
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.000
track like recording at home. I can record like a

114
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.000
whole bit and put down like fake drums and like

115
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.199
play a little bass on it or something and send

116
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.480
it to the guys, and then you know, everybody can

117
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.399
kind of say this is working or I feel in

118
00:05:58.439 --> 00:05:59.519
this part it's cool.

119
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.480
Do you think your music creativity changes with that, like,

120
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.040
because you have more abilities to experiment?

121
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.720
Well? It can? It certainly can. You can run off

122
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:12.399
on tangents.

123
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.920
I got like a little an old school seventies mood keyboard,

124
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:17.519
and then all of a sudden, I'm like, am I

125
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.560
writing spando ballet riffs now? Or what the hell is like?

126
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.879
So you can kind of like veer off a little bit.

127
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.959
So yeah, I mean, yes, the answer is yes. But

128
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.639
you then you think, consciously, okay, am I writing for

129
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:31.720
ant farm or what?

130
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.120
You know? It depends like what you're really writing for.

131
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:38.879
In my head, we're guitar driven bands, so I usually

132
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.680
wait for riffs to come to me and I kind

133
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.040
of know our sound not that and we venture off

134
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:45.560
a little bit.

135
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.560
But I feel like I know from.

136
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.560
Years past, like I do, go back to our first

137
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.839
record and kind of hear what's clicking, what are the positives,

138
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:55.959
what are the cool things, what are the little nuances

139
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.920
that I had back then? Kind of try and interject

140
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.759
them into new stuff.

141
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:00.800
You know.

142
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.959
And what would you tell you back then now about

143
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:06.319
writing music back then?

144
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:07.600
What would I tell?

145
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:11.000
What would you tell yourself that if you were able

146
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:12.199
to tell younger you.

147
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:17.040
I just say stop drinking immediately like now today.

148
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:19.519
Yeah, yeah, that's.

149
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:22.040
A common theme I think from the old days for sure.

150
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.759
It's like, have you ever seen that meme of the

151
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.639
rock star in the eighties and the rock star in

152
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.720
twenty twenties. The eighties has this dude lying on the

153
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:38.000
ground guitar in one hand and Jack dadiels and the

154
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.199
other passed out, and today's as a dude sitting with

155
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.959
the guitar on his lap as computer doing everything on

156
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:45.600
the computer.

157
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.720
Yeah, well, hey, you know what we've kind of we've

158
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:53.480
transcended both eras, you know what I mean, it's amazing

159
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.680
thing to say it both eras, you know, Like honestly

160
00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.759
it's pros and cons. There's a lot of benefits now

161
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.319
of having you know, like you can do something on

162
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:02.800
your phone.

163
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.920
You know that are are you know, unless you're Kerr

164
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:07.360
came and you do like.

165
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.079
And rock and roll, like not not to diss it completely,

166
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.680
rock and roll and abuse and like abuse of your

167
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:19.279
body and alcohol and drugs is like so like one

168
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.639
and the same and the early parts of it and

169
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:27.160
it's conception and where like true like turmoil and well

170
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.839
a lot of really heartache.

171
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:30.639
Stuff comes from that.

172
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:32.120
Yeah, and so.

173
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.639
I can't knock it. You know, it's no way to live.

174
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.000
There's a couple of seasons of that are cool, and

175
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.639
then it's like you're not getting anything from it anymore.

176
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.240
But I used to love to get saucy and kind

177
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.720
of just go down that rabbit hole of misery and

178
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:46.960
pen my songs, you know, But that's not the way

179
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:47.759
to do it anymore.

180
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:48.960
That's true right there.

181
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.639
But then I also look at like artists back then

182
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:54.200
and I'm like, how the fuck are they even performing

183
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.759
on stage. They can't even stand like you see the

184
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.360
backstage or falling over and they get up on stage

185
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:00.480
and just the thing.

186
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.320
Yeah, it's like muscle memory or something.

187
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.480
I'm also a big believer that the record labels back

188
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.759
then loved giving all the drugs and alcohol to ours

189
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:12.960
so that they can do what they want to do.

190
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:17.440
It makes sense keep someone happy with their addiction. You can,

191
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:20.799
you can rape them on the other side, you know exactly.

192
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.480
And so yeah, you knew what I was gonna say

193
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.320
with kirk phone or whatever.

194
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.159
Yes, and like three hundred and fifty riffs.

195
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.159
Yeah, I don't do that in my phone. I've literally

196
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:33.120
I mean.

197
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.200
Like I said, I lost a hard drive with a

198
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:38.159
lot of man hours of stuff I have. I have

199
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.759
all the MP three's of the music, but it's not

200
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.840
like the sessions where there was like hours of takes

201
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.320
and stuff. So again, this is music just for me.

202
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.200
That it made it all the more important to me,

203
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:49.799
you know.

204
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:50.200
What I mean.

205
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:55.639
Sure, I would want to have all that stuff for sure. Yeah,

206
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.000
you never know what you could get out of that stuff.

207
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.240
Though I was pretty sad. I was tore up for

208
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:01.600
a good couple of weeks over that.

209
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.279
Yeah, I would be too. I would maybe more than

210
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:05.200
a couple of weeks.

211
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.120
Yeah, I'd be like today, Fuck, that was a good song.

212
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.679
Maybe I can figure it out again.

213
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.279
Now and yeah first day of tour.

214
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:20.759
Wow man, But here you are all these years later

215
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:25.000
and still relevant, trying bro. You know that that's something

216
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.480
you got to sit there and go wow, Because like

217
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.559
when you first started this thing, did you really think

218
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.080
that we'd be sitting here in twenty twenty four?

219
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.480
Maybe because I was just cocky and thought we'd be

220
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:38.840
around forever. So in a weird way maybe, but no,

221
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.399
with some perspective, no way, because just trials and tribulations

222
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.679
and families and friendships and love affairs and all the

223
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.200
things that come in and out of our lives. It's

224
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.480
a miracle that we've stayed, you know, somewhat focused on

225
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:55.279
this one thing.

226
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.159
You know, it just says you're true artist. In my opinion, Crying.

227
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:03.080
Brother, Jevity is like fucking everything in this business, no doubt, right,

228
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.840
you know, I mean you could have you could be

229
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:10.639
this level or this level, you know, and obviously this

230
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:12.120
level you didn't get some longevity.

231
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:15.960
But if you can find your niche, yeah, and you know,

232
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:19.159
kind of whatever, just service it in a way that

233
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.039
it grows and you have your core fan base and

234
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.559
you can achieve longevity.

235
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.080
Yeah, there's not a lot of romance.

236
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.639
And when you strip it down and you're not you know,

237
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.639
we're not a big band, but we're a known band

238
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:34.120
and so it's work. We love it, but it's a

239
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.759
lot of you know, most of our days is not

240
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.759
involved like actually being on their stage making music.

241
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:42.080
It's all the other bullshit.

242
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.240
So people don't realize that.

243
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.679
No, for sure, it's lucky, it's lucky.

244
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:48.559
Yeah, it's a lot of work.

245
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:51.480
We're badass musicians, but we're lucky.

246
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.639
Yeah, it has to have some luck in it, but

247
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.440
it's a lot of work. People don't realize, Like the listeners,

248
00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:01.360
they don't realize everything else. They only see the fun part,

249
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:06.559
not all the other stuff. Yep, So one story, good

250
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:11.519
or bad in this whole musical journey, what would you share?

251
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:17.000
Hmmm, Well, I was you know, I remember I just

252
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:20.960
mentioned it earlier, so it's not maybe it's coming to

253
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:25.440
mind because I did remember it earlier. But we did

254
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.639
our second record with Robert and Dean Delio from Stone

255
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.960
Double Pilots and Dean take Me horseback Riding in the

256
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.440
Malibu Hills and that was a cool That was a

257
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.600
cool day. I was very nervous because I broke my

258
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.639
neck in a bad bus crash. Oh, so I was

259
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.559
very scared to get on a horse and he's telling

260
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.759
me not to worry about it. And then in the

261
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:47.240
first two minutes my horse walked up on a rattlesnake

262
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.720
and he was all getting crazy and I was like, Dan,

263
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:53.840
I fucking told you that I did not want to

264
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.360
do this, and he's like, bro, it's cool.

265
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:58.639
I was like, it's not cool.

266
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:01.480
Oh man, yeah, I wouldn't like that.

267
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.919
I got a thousand memories, but that one just came

268
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:04.519
to my head.

269
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.960
How about you fucking playing after Shock?

270
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:08.240
Bro?

271
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.679
There it is after Shock twenty twenty.

272
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:18.519
Four, Like everybody showed up early, Heavin, everybody showed up early.

273
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.840
And there we had our congo line. Oh I love it.

274
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:25.200
That yes on Reddit it like blew up.

275
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.200
We didn't even know until today, really wow, and like, yeah,

276
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.200
there's a congo line fishing around out there.

277
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.120
See after all these years, you can still have something

278
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:38.000
happen and you're like, holy fuck, that's cool as shit.

279
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:39.720
You know, I loved it.

280
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:42.360
How about throwing that end but I was like, you know,

281
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:44.080
it's like it really happened.

282
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:45.480
We made it.

283
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:46.279
How about you?

284
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.159
You have a story, good or bad, that sticks out

285
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.399
on your mind in all these years of music.

286
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:52.519
I do, but I don't.

287
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.960
Before I was in the band, when I was a tech,

288
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:58.639
we went to Alaska and I fell asleep running a

289
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:02.720
bath for myself. I flooded my bathroom, the bathroom below me,

290
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:03.840
in the entire hallway.

291
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:06.679
You were not liked, were you at that time? And

292
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.919
I was, look, everyone there loved it.

293
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.960
We went back to Alaska, I don't know eight years later,

294
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.159
and the guy's like, just.

295
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.399
The guy who flooded the place, still travel with you guys?

296
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:18.840
And I was like, I'm actually in the band now.

297
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.159
I got a promotion for it, and he was.

298
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.240
It was at that moment that we knew he was

299
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:26.320
an alien al farm.

300
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.080
Oh no. See that's a good fucking story, man.

301
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.200
That's what you could tell people that have been in

302
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.320
your shoes, Like, if you want to join the band.

303
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.600
Don't give up. You gotta get so fucked up.

304
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.039
Don't give up and flood the place.

305
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:44.080
Stick with it. You got this, don't turn that bathwater off.

306
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:47.080
Don't let anyone tell you to turn that fucking fuscet off.

307
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:48.639
There you go.

308
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.000
So, now, after all these years, how can you top

309
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.759
everything you've done, including after Shuck today?

310
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:58.200
Play after Shock tomorrow.

311
00:14:58.879 --> 00:14:59.679
That would be cool.

312
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.279
Let's make that happen, Like, let's get Daddy over here,

313
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.279
like they need to play a gag.

314
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:08.039
I don't want to top anything.

315
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.679
It's just like all experiences, so we can just like

316
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.000
stack them on, you know what I mean.

317
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.200
Yeah, that's cool.

318
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:14.440
Nothing's gonna top this.

319
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:15.519
It's just cool.

320
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.600
Just do it again. Let's do it somewhere else, try

321
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:19.200
and you know.

322
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:23.080
Get hopefully a few people, make some people happy, and

323
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:23.720
that's about it.

324
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:25.000
Leave his little footprint.

325
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:28.440
Try to not flood the hotels anymore, that kind of stuff.

326
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.159
Maybe once or twice, no more. Yeah, there you go.

327
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.559
Are you guys gonna see a band today that you

328
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:35.879
want to?

329
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.399
Look? You're looking forward to see?

330
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:39.080
I'm gonna drive home.

331
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:42.440
Yeah, that's going home. That's a good idea.

332
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.600
We're going to Europe and UK in like less than

333
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:45.960
a week.

334
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:49.320
Yeah, I saw you're going Netherlands first, right, Yeah for Shure,

335
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:51.440
that's one of my favorite places in the world.

336
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:52.679
Yeah.

337
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.360
Do you how you compare playing over than Europe to

338
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:57.320
over here.

339
00:15:58.320 --> 00:15:59.039
It's just different.

340
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.480
Animal man, it gets similar with these festivals because that's

341
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:03.759
kind of where they originated.

342
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.080
Yeah, but never slagged the US.

343
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:08.840
But I do have a fondness for UK crowds and

344
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.960
their loyalty to out farm and even this is our home.

345
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:13.240
We love our home.

346
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:18.360
But the UK is unmatched, unparalleled with crowds for Alien

347
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:18.799
Alt Firm.

348
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:20.080
It is interesting.

349
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:23.879
I do find the UK and Europe too, like they're

350
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.080
still so passionate about bands that it's different.

351
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.080
People here were passionate about before.

352
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:29.639
It's different.

353
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:31.559
You see a kid in like a Cypress Hill hoodie

354
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:34.840
or something, he's still like for life all about the

355
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:39.120
Cypress you know before. Now here you're like, what that's

356
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:41.200
that was so twenty years ago or whatever.

357
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:47.840
You know, right, so less fickle, like they just love music. Yeah,

358
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.039
and that's it's pure.

359
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:53.960
It's pure when you're gonna go to Drownload and.

360
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:57.879
Still go year after year that has the most horrible weather.

361
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:04.240
Yes, you go there a year after year. You're fucking dedicated.

362
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.200
Oh yeah, because like when I do interviews there, it's

363
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.440
like one interview I'm wearing my hoodie, the next interview

364
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.160
I'm not. Because it's like hot cold, hot cold. That's

365
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.200
fucking raining, and it's it's great.

366
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.519
The smartest thing you could ever do is have some

367
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:20.480
sturdy wellies.

368
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:21.400
There you go.

369
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.359
I gotta have the sturdy wellies. And that's just the

370
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.759
way it is. I'm gonna start playing. We're playing Download

371
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.680
this next year.

372
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:27.799
Are you.

373
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:29.519
I'll be there so we'll have to talk.

374
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:31.960
There's not even the weather. It's fucking Tim in his

375
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.720
hotel room leaving the damn.

376
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:35.680
Water on it, coming from Alaska.

377
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:40.240
That's what drowned. That's what drowned. Drownload is your back to.

378
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.440
All these years later, it's still pouring into the UK.

379
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:52.160
So here's an interesting thing. At Download Metallica last year

380
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:57.720
they had the special system for their sound where no

381
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.279
matter where you were in the festival, you can hear

382
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.640
them like you were up front. There were complaints from

383
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:09.000
fifteen miles away of the sound that people were saying

384
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:11.400
at their house fifteen miles away and could hear Metallica

385
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:13.319
as if they were sitting in front of them. I

386
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.039
wouldn't fucking complain. I'd be like, yeah, I don't have

387
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:18.240
to deal with that festival shit. I'll just sit on

388
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.119
my balcony.

389
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:24.440
It was a pavilion near where I grew up, and

390
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.279
if you went on my porch, which was kind of enclosed,

391
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.960
I found it out like while Aerosmith was playing, Like

392
00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:33.440
I could hear the concert and then I take two

393
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.799
steps out the porch, it's gone.

394
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:38.119
Oh. I was about like, that's wild.

395
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.839
Seventeen eighteen miles away, but they was using my porch

396
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:42.519
as a speaker.

397
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.559
That is fucking wild. I love that.

398
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.319
I'm just kind of thinking about that Portlandia where they

399
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.240
wear they have drones that go to the festival and

400
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:53.720
they wear the big hat, they stay at home.

401
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.400
Basically it's wild, right.

402
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.839
I mean you guys have probably seen it fucking all

403
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:01.960
throughout the years.

404
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:02.559
Of course.

405
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:05.240
I mean, like I said, we started doing these festivals,

406
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.960
you know, in the early two thousands, if not ninety nine. Yeah,

407
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.839
it's cool to have this over here though, but we've

408
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:14.160
definitely seen a lot.

409
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:18.240
Yeah, and you know what to credit to Danny Wimmer

410
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.160
based on what you were saying before too.

411
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.200
And I see it because I do the festivals over there.

412
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.440
He has brought the European and UK festivals to the

413
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.960
United States, Like in the essence of how it's run,

414
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:33.240
how the artists are treated, like done the right way.

415
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.279
Yeah, it seems like a well oiled machine, which is good.

416
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.839
What do you guys think of how Danny Wimmer treats

417
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:39.759
the artists?

418
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.440
Pimper ellic.

419
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:46.119
Yeah, I mean it's good to just be able to

420
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:50.039
hit the stage and facilitate a crowd and no stress

421
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:52.759
and then yeah, it's all goods. They run it like

422
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.960
a well oiled machine. Everybody's super friendly. It's all good.

423
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:56.400
See.

424
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.200
I love all good. Yeah, because that's like, Okay, I

425
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:01.440
did hell Fest year. They had to three hundred and

426
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.200
sixty bands. Oh yeah, yeah, not one of them had

427
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:07.319
a sound problem. I'm like, how the fuck does that happen?

428
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:09.359
Yeah, that's some logistics, right right.

429
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:12.279
You know, so it's good we have somebody like Danny

430
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.559
Wimmer here in the States to make these great festivals

431
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.079
that bands like you want to play at. Like if

432
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:20.599
it's a shit show, you don't want to play it

433
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:22.680
because you're gonna have to deal with that.

434
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.200
Yeah, that's important what he's doing for the rock and

435
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.480
roll world too, you know, because there's a lot of

436
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:30.720
festivals popping off around the country these days. But he's

437
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.039
the one that's kind of carrying the rock torch, right

438
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:37.559
that's it. He's carrying the rock torch. He's doing heavy

439
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:39.440
rock festivals.

440
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:41.319
That's important, Like people want that.

441
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.279
