BAD WOLVES arrived with the rarity and the force of a lightning bolt in 2018. This collective of tried-and-true musicians rallied around an unconventional vision for heavy music, grafting rafter-reaching hooks to pit-splitting riffs and mind-bending rhythms with a penchant for unexpected twists and turns. Their full-length debut, Disobey, bowed in the Top 25 of the Billboard 200 and delivered a platinum single and a gold single. On its heels, they showed no signs of stopping with N.A.T.I.O.N. [2019]. However, Dear Monsters kickstarted another season in 2021 as “Lifeline” netted their sixth #1 at Active Rock Radio. Reaching a critical high watermark, Billboard hailed the latter as “Bad Wolves’ most diverse and far-reaching album to date,” and Hysteria raved, “The band has served up something truly monumental.” Nearing 1 billion total streams, they sold out headline shows on multiple continents and toured with everyone from Papa Roach and Hollywood Undead to Volbeat.
Now, BAD WOLVES redefine their sound by burning everything down on their fourth full-length LP, DIE ABOUT IT.
“We definitely challenged ourselves to experiment, but we maintained a heavier edge,” notes John. “We spent a lot of time making sure these songs weren’t all the same, which was important to us. We tried to push the possibilities of what you can do with heavy music. This is as fresh of a start as you can get on your fourth album.”
“It feels like a rebirth,” agrees DL.
After joining the group prior to Dear Monsters, DL locked into a creative groove on DIE ABOUT IT. This time around, he greatly contributed to the lyrics and the overall process. Meanwhile, the collective nodded to inspirations as diverse as The 1975 and Meshuggah. Gelling everything together, John and DL co-produced the album with trusted collaborator Josh Gilbert [As I Lay Dying].
“Nobody is against any idea in the studio,” says DL. “That’s the most beautiful thing about this. There’s no limitations. We went to the far ends of the really soft and the extreme. We made it a point to separate ourselves from the past and make this our own.”
Unafraid to express sarcasm towards those who defend their own beliefs into absurdity, wrong or right, BAD WOLVES believe if you're gonna cry about it, then you might as well DIE ABOUT IT.

welcome to the show. Hey man,
15
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:19.159
thanks for having me. Oh my
pleasure. So in between ending my workday
16
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.239
and going out in Halloween Shenanigans.
I got a chance to check out your
17
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.760
whole new album, you know that
Kelly sent me. And that's why I
18
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.040
say it's badass, because, like
I do a lot of interviews, sometimes
19
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.760
I don't listen to the whole album. Sometimes I listen and you know,
20
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.280
to get a feel. But man, I had to listen to that whole
21
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:44.959
fucking album because it was insane,
awesome, awesome. That makes me happy
22
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:52.680
to hear because we're kind of sticklers
about the whole front to back album format,
23
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.879
Like we really pay extra attention even
after we're done making the music and
24
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.840
everything to how the track listing goes
and like the ebbs and flows of each
25
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.799
song going into each other. And
so yeah, that's cool to hear that
26
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:09.599
that people still appreciate the album format
in this day of the single. Yeah.
27
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.719
I'm old school too, so I'm
that way. Like in the eighties,
28
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.199
I would just sit on my balcony
with headphones, buy an album because
29
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.840
it looked cool, It had no
clue what it sounded like, and just
30
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.960
listening to a whole album cover to
cover, like ten times in a row,
31
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:30.280
looking at all the artwork, full
experience the lyrics and stuff like that.
32
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.319
In fact, I have a funny
story based on something we were talking
33
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:43.520
about ahead of time. So my
one of my first really really heavy albums.
34
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.039
And when I say really heavy,
like like I had Iron Maiden in
35
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.120
Preaseed and shit like that, but
that wasn't really heavy. My first was
36
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:58.520
Venom Welcome to Hell. Nice right, and so it had first come out.
37
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.960
Funny story with that is like I
used to get I lived in LA
38
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:08.360
in the eighties and the whole metal
sunset stream Sunset strip scene. Then I
39
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:15.479
Slayer's first show ever. Not you
were yeah Metallica show ever. That's a
40
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.800
badge of honor for sure. And
so we used to go to this record
41
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:27.400
store in the valley called OZ Records, and there was this record clerk there
42
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.479
that you used to always recommend these
albums to us when we walked in,
43
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:37.879
and turns out like he was starting
this record label. You might know it.
44
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.039
It's called Metal Blade Records. Never
heard of it, weird, and
45
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.280
uh, he handed me this Venom
album and I looked at him like,
46
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:52.759
holy shit, that's cool as hell. But nothing was ever like that yet.
47
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.919
Venom had a cool logo. Yeah, yeah, badass, and nothing
48
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.159
was like that yet you know,
like that the most devil worship you had
49
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.639
was Ozzy, Like I used to
get made fun of in high school.
50
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.759
You know, oh, you're devil
worshiper because I wear an Ozzy shirt.
51
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.719
Like it was stupid. Yep.
But then I sat down listening to this
52
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:18.600
album and I literally I was reading
the lyrics. I got scared the first
53
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:25.639
time I listened to it. Reading
the lyrics, I'm like, oh shit,
54
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.720
this is evil as hell man the
room right now. Now it's so
55
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:40.519
funny because now that album would be
considered kind of poppy today compared to standard.
56
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.759
We're desensitized, right, So yeah, when I was listening to your
57
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.920
album, that's what I was feeling, not not the scared part, but
58
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.639
the whole. Like I had to
listen to the whole album. It was
59
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.399
like, even though it's not a
concept, it's still a story. Any
60
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.319
albums of story, even if it's
not a concept. The album and it
61
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:06.639
just ebbs and flows, and I
love how the sound goes from the young
62
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:13.480
clean and the clean vocals to the
growling to all these different things that I
63
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.480
can totally tell you guys were just
experimenting with your creativity, which is something
64
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:24.319
I absolutely love. Yeah, yeah, I mean we didn't even make it
65
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:30.079
a point. We weren't like super
adamant about experimenting or anything. The only
66
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.079
thing that we went into this knowing
that we wanted to kind of highlight is
67
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.279
just growth as a band and the
growth as individuals, as players, as
68
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.839
singers, and we just wanted to
try. We wanted to have no rules.
69
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.600
We wanted to try everything and anything, even if it sucks. Like
70
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.759
you know, this day and age, it's like everybody kind of can afford
71
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.560
to have their own home studio now, so it's like you have you're not
72
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.240
staring at the clock in some expensive
recording studio like trying to get things right,
73
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.000
like you have all the time in
the world and all the resources now
74
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.800
and there's just like no excuse.
And we made it a point to spend
75
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.199
extra time on these things. And
even if it didn't work out, like
76
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:16.800
if it's just something you wanted to
try and you end up throwing it out,
77
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.279
who cares, Like you tried it
and you can kind of move on.
78
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:26.519
But that was the biggest biggest marker
in making Die about It was just
79
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:31.360
to have no rules and grow as
a band grow. You know, there's
80
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.160
a lot of things that you can
listen to on the new record that you
81
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:38.560
can tell that I tried new things
as a singer. I did some rapping
82
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:43.560
stuff, I tried some new screams
out. So yeah, yeah, without
83
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.439
wanting to get experimental, we sure
did. But you know, to me,
84
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:54.279
that's the whole key a of creativity
in general, be especially metal.
85
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.480
Like to me, from the very
beginning metal, it's about experimenting with sounds
86
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.000
to come up up with the sounds
that we have today. And I remember
87
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:08.720
I was playing guitar and my dad
was like, you better give that up
88
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.160
because you suck. I went through
the same shit, but it wasn't my
89
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.399
dad. It was my actual guitar
teacher that was like he pulled my dad
90
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.199
aside and was like, yeah,
this this dude doesn't have it. He
91
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.600
doesn't have a musical bone in his
body, because wow, I mean,
92
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.279
we were doing like the traditional bullshit
like the mel Bay books, and it
93
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.839
was cool. It was like informational
or whatever. But that's not why I
94
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:35.040
started playing guitar. I wanted to
learn riffs, like right, I wanted
95
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:41.800
to learn I would walk into every
lesson of mine and the teacher would be
96
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.240
like, so, did you go
over like what your homework was for the
97
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.680
week or whatever, And I would
just be like, no, but can
98
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.839
you teach me fucking astro, creepile, zombie dumb shit? And uh yeah,
99
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:56.279
the traditional teacher in that sense,
like he was just like, yeah,
100
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.560
this dude's not doing it for the
right reason. So right, like
101
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.759
I got I'm sick of doing scales
like that. Like I was doing scales
102
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.120
for weeks. It's like, Okay, you're just boring the shit out like
103
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.240
I was in school. That's what
it was. It was about, right,
104
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.680
bum bum bum bumb. It was
just like Jesus Christ, I want
105
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.079
to learn beautiful people, man,
exactly exactly so, and I used to
106
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.839
like just sit there and make sounds
and experiment what kind of sounds could I
107
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.319
make with this guitar? And that's
what my dad would be like, you
108
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.120
suck and he didn't get it though. He didn't get what I was doing.
109
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.000
And so that's why I love about
this album is because I could totally
110
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.960
tell you were experimenting with different sounds, different things, and even if things
111
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:45.559
dropped off and didn't make the album, it's those that dropped off that probably
112
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.159
led to what did make the album. Yeah, yeah, I mean mistakes
113
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.600
even push you in a certain direction, and yeah, I don't know.
114
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.720
It was just like it. I
kind of have been telling everybody that this
115
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:05.279
felt like even though it wasn't,
this felt like my first album with the
116
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.039
band. It was cool to do
Deer Monsters, but like the environment that
117
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.960
I came into joining the band,
it was just like kind of turmoil at
118
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.919
that time in the band, and
they were working on that album or they
119
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.960
were about halfway done with that album
when I joined the band, So it
120
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.200
was just this like break neck pace, hit the ground running kind of thing.
121
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.279
And once I joined, you know, I came to LA and we
122
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.360
got in the studio and finished up
Deer Monsters together. So that was like
123
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.080
kind of testing the the collaborative waters
or whatever. But this one was just
124
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.240
like it feels like my my feels
like my baby this time, like I
125
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.200
got to co produce it with Josh
Gilbert and John We all kind of put
126
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.919
our heads together and it was just
like, yeah, we got I got
127
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.639
to produce it from the ground up
from day one, from song one.
128
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.799
It's like my my themes, my
lyric ideas, you know, it's even
129
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.320
even so like uh riffs and drum
parts, and so I was like very
130
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.279
hands on with this record, and
I just probably because of that, I'm
131
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:16.519
so much more like emotionally invested and
attached to this material. And I don't
132
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.159
blame you because and it is rough
when you come in, especially halfway through
133
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:26.559
an album. And I think it
proved something too that on this album you
134
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.039
were allowed to have creative input for
lack of a better way of putting it,
135
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:37.879
you know, and they treated you
like it was a new band,
136
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.720
that you were all new That's the
way I look at it, right,
137
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:48.559
And because this band has gone through
so much like public turmoil and legalities and
138
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.919
just just crazy shit that like I
know that when I started playing music or
139
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.440
I started playing with bands, I
never thought that I would have to deal
140
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.720
with the stuff that this band I
dealt with. It's just like weird shit
141
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:05.720
that never think about. And I
think because of that, like we we
142
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.799
really wanted to hit a reset button
on this album and and come together as
143
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.639
a stronger unit and just kind of
present the band in a new way.
144
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.080
But also that's the challenge, right, Like, but also keep intact what
145
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.039
the core of what bad wolves Is, and I think we did that beautifully
146
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:30.240
on this album. I think a
perfect example that thought I thought of in
147
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.240
my mind. Of course, maybe
not as bad to Turmoil and stuff,
148
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:39.039
but Iron Maiden is to me a
perfect example of the saint. Like I
149
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:45.200
was an old school Maiden fan,
Paul Deano fan and all that, and
150
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.639
Bruce was great that first album,
and I thought, wow, it was
151
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.759
great, but I was still like, yeah, Paul Deano, you know,
152
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.000
yeah, yeah, no. And
I get it, like there's there's
153
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:01.000
a nobody is like super st if
you're already invested in a band and it's
154
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.879
like say it's your favorite band or
whatever. Like you said, my Iron
155
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:09.480
made an it's tough because like I
totally get that, Like I've I've had
156
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:15.159
scenarios where I feel the same way, where you get invested in the lineup
157
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.039
of a band and member changes are
tough, especially like a front man lead
158
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.080
single change, Like that's that's pretty
jarring for a lot of people. And
159
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.279
you know, at the end of
the day, it's like first record,
160
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.559
I can see, like you know, you got to kind of dip your
161
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.559
toe in the water and see what
it's like. But at this point,
162
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.080
like I was just talking with my
wife about this kind of blew my mind
163
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.759
because I'd never really think about it
because it's where I was just going and
164
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.039
I don't really think about time too
much. But yeah, I mean we're
165
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:48.559
going on. I've been in the
band for three years now and uh to
166
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.320
two albums in and I feel like
we've kind of split the difference at this
167
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.480
point. So like, yeah,
you know, if you're a true Bad
168
00:12:54.559 --> 00:13:00.320
Wolves fan and you love what the
band does, regardless of voice on the
169
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.320
music, I think that you'd be
happy to see where the band is at
170
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:11.519
and to know that this is a
healthy working environment and everybody's happy and we're
171
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.159
like stoked to be making the art
that we're making, and yeah, it
172
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.480
just feels good, man. So
I feel like, you know, true
173
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.960
Bad Wolves fans, they stick with
us, and anybody that says otherwise than
174
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.879
I don't think that they're really a
fan of the band get to begin with.
175
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.320
They might have just been a fan
of the ex member or whatever.
176
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.559
So exactly, it's a big sandbox, man. There's room for everybody who
177
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.159
gives a shit, no doubt,
and that's why I compared it to Maide
178
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.399
and and even in my example,
it's like but after a little while,
179
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.879
and it wasn't a long while.
All of us hardcore made in fans.
180
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.320
We're still hardcore made in fans made
and yeah, exactly. You know,
181
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:58.639
it just evolved, it didn't.
It's not like it changed. It evolved.
182
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.519
It's still made in and it's still
bad wolves. It's just a better
183
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:09.000
version you damn right. See Boom, I just spilled my coffee on myself.
184
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.240
Yeah, man, it is it
is to some. I mean I'm
185
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.759
not going to take anything away from
anybody, and especially like the back catalog,
186
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.039
the back catalog with Tommy and really
sick shit. I would have never
187
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.519
been interested in joining this band if
they didn't write such great music with the
188
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.679
X singer. So it's like point
both both parts of it can be true.
189
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:35.200
Like Jesus, I'm so sick of
hearing about it. It's fun right
190
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:37.759
annoying honestly, Yeah, yeah,
not like from you, but like no,
191
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.600
of course you go on the internet
and stuff, and uh, sometimes
192
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.840
it gets so loud and it's just
like, man, music shouldn't be like
193
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.360
that, like you're saying before,
like this ain't corporate America. It's it's
194
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.759
music. It's a band. It's
not even a record label. It's a
195
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.600
band. There shouldn't be all that
bull crap. And you know what,
196
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.120
I agree with what you said.
If you're really truly a fan, you're
197
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.960
a fan of the whole band and
the music and everything. Like, there's
198
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.840
plenty of bands that have had changeups, and it doesn't change my viewpoint in
199
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.639
a band. It just you know, it's just a little different, that's
200
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.200
all. But it's still the same, which is the point you were making.
201
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.919
It's a band, it's a unit, it's a fucking team. Like,
202
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:28.440
you know, we can't make this
work without John, we can't make
203
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.480
this work without Doc. I mean, everybody has an essential role in this
204
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.039
band, and it's not just one
guy that's carrying it. So I think
205
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.919
the most important part too, and
I think that's what made this album so
206
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:46.559
great in my opinion, is what
you're saying before the everybody being happy,
207
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:52.360
no drama, getting along, not
dealing with all the bullshit, because that
208
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.840
stuff does affect you man as an
artist, as a person, and like
209
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:03.559
you can't possibly put on a game
face when that shit's going on, right
210
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.919
and uh, And that's not to
say that like it's been all fucking rainbows
211
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.840
and Rose Petals, Like this has
been really tough on all of us,
212
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:17.679
like the member change and everything.
That's like I said, it was turmoil
213
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.200
when I joined the band, and
like that continued on throughout the Deer Monster
214
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:26.480
cycle pretty heavily. Like at some
time, like anytime we would release something,
215
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.399
it would just be this like flurry, whether it was real or not,
216
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.799
whether it was like bots on the
internet or whether somebody was telling but
217
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.399
it was just like like you said, it's it's hard to get into something
218
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:42.039
when you're just like getting your ass
kicked every day. It's just not fun.
219
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:47.759
So this this, it feels like
we're really happy now because it feels
220
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.000
like a rebirth, like where we
get another shot and we get to do
221
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:53.519
what we want. And that's like
the biggest thing, Like if you don't
222
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.320
like what you're doing, why are
you doing it? So no that,
223
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:03.279
especially in music, I everget that, Like there are bands that I know
224
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.400
for a fact that are in it
for the business part of it, And
225
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.839
like that's the stupidest thing I ever
heard. That sounds really it sounds really
226
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:15.240
boring, right, you know,
music's supposed to be a whole different thing
227
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.839
and it's a passion you know,
and if you're just going through the motions,
228
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.720
everybody can tell the listener the band, everybody. You know, I
229
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.559
can tell talking to you that you
have a absolute passion not only for the
230
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:33.759
band, but for this album.
And that is one of the most important
231
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.000
things. And I know if listeners
check out this new album, no,
232
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.599
I have a passion for it too, because listen, I've been bad Wolves
233
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:45.759
fanning for a long time. The
first song I clicked on, I'm like,
234
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.920
oh my god, this is badass. Nice thanks man. Well,
235
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.319
it's good to hear. It's good
to hear. It's it's I get it.
236
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:59.440
It's tough to it's tough to move
on, and it's tough to buy
237
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:04.200
a new car sometimes, but people
get behind the wheel. It's just like
238
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:08.519
this. Just like I say in
radio, Okay, there's people in my
239
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:15.599
industry that can't let go of seventies
analog radio. I say, they have
240
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.880
WKRP in Cincinnati syndrome, which was
this, Oh yeah, they come back
241
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.480
in the seventies making fun of radio. Yeah. I mean, you can
242
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:29.400
use that analogy with because I'm a
studio recording nerd too, so you can
243
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.839
use that analogy making records. Like
some guys still are just like I'm gonna
244
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.559
use amps and that's it. I'm
gonna do it the hard way. And
245
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.000
like here we are with like ax
effects is and kempers and like digital guitar
246
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.839
amps that sound probably better now than
real amps. Since so I don't know,
247
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.440
Yeah, to each his own right
there it is. And so how
248
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:55.400
do how does everybody connect to you
guys on socials on the web if they
249
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:57.920
don't know, but more importantly,
how they check out this new album?
250
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.559
Land drops? Uh? This new
album will be anywhere and everywhere all DSPs,
251
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.880
It'll be on Spotify, Deezer Apple, you name it, all that
252
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:15.880
stuff, YouTube and anything bad Wolves
related that is in terms of tour or
253
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.799
merchandise or you know whatever, any
anything you need to get your Bad Wolves
254
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.119
filled, just go to bad Wolvesnation
dot com or any of our socials.
255
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.160
We have Instagram, TikTok, fucking
whatever, you know, all the all
256
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:32.960
the crap that the kids are spinning
nowadays. And yeah, I mean we're
257
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.599
we're we're pretty shitty at it,
to be honest with you, like,
258
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.799
uh, it takes a certain kind
of person to like be good at social
259
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.119
media, and I'm like working on
it. I'm still trying to figure it
260
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:49.319
out. It is. It's not
like you can't just be a musician anymore.
261
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.880
And that's like, that's something that
I need to get over because it
262
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.920
really frustrates the hell out of me. It frustrates like a lot of the
263
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.640
bands. Some some guys in Bad
Wolves are better at it than other Doc
264
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.119
is great at you know, uh, social media and connecting online and stuff.
265
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:08.160
He's got his podcast, But like
John and I were just like the
266
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:12.880
grumpy old man, get off my
internet lawn. Like I'm so bad at
267
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:18.599
it. But I I do appreciate
that people want to connect with us online
268
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.319
and stuff. But I'm just we're
weird, man, you know, We're
269
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.039
like we're older band. We're this
is kind of a young man's game,
270
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:29.519
and we're we're an older band,
and all of us dudes have like seen
271
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:33.920
the internet happen, you know,
like we were getting the the AOL discs
272
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.880
sent right parents' house. So like, yeah, I'm still so funny you
273
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:42.599
mentioned that because I had somebody,
yes, we had an email to me
274
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:48.079
had an AOL email address. I'm
like I had to ask, and I'm
275
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:53.319
like AOL. My wife still has
an AOL dot com email address, and
276
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:57.160
I just like laugh at her because
I always right end up like filling out
277
00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.240
paperwork on what's your email again?
And she tells me. I'm was like
278
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:07.359
aol, Jesus, we're old right
right, Oh my god? But you
279
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.480
know I do. I do miss
some of the old days where it was
280
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.799
easier for a musician, But it's
also easier nowadays for musicians to get hurt.
281
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.400
It's like it's like anything else in
life. There's the good side,
282
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:22.240
there's the bad side, and the
double edged sword. But at the end
283
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.200
of the day, I don't even
know what the hell I was gonna say
284
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:30.400
about it. I just Internet Internet. At the end of the day,
285
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:37.000
they're gonna hear about this album from
the Internet on this interview. Yeah yeah,
286
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.720
well no, you know what,
something is something that I've like because
287
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:45.000
we talk about this. We literally
have phone calls, we have label meetings,
288
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.000
band meetings, we literally talk about
the Internet and social media all day
289
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:57.720
every day. And I'm just still
like of the mindset that I just want
290
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.759
to bring the like the mystique back
to the musician. You know what I
291
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:06.079
mean, tape trading. I want
tape trading coming back, dude. I
292
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:11.400
just I just remember like all the
stuff that I liked growing up. Sure,
293
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:14.559
like you know what the singer's voice
sounds like on the record, fine,
294
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.079
but like I miss wondering like,
oh, what does it sound like
295
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:21.240
when that guy talks? Like what
they do it all about? And you
296
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:25.720
just don't know because there wasn't like
you couldn't just see them taking a shit
297
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.680
and eating dinner every day like on
their social media, And like, I
298
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.920
miss the mystique of musicians. It
made them so much cooler back in the
299
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.359
day. Now you're just like,
ah, yeah, I mean obviously everybody's
300
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.759
like, everybody's the same, We're
all just human, these make music whatever.
301
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:47.839
But it was it like it kind
of made your your musicians and your
302
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.960
heroes, like the even sports figures
all that stuff. It made them like
303
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.960
superheroes and you kind of don't have
that anymore. Well, it's it's same
304
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:03.640
with radio, you know, like
radio people, I'd rather have the I
305
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:10.519
call it theater of the mind,
like Howard Stern as a perfect example.
306
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.240
If you watch his bits, they're
not as funny. They're so funny because
307
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:21.279
your mind is wandering at what is
really what's going on that's not really going
308
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:22.720
on? In the studio and when
you're listening. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
309
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.839
exactly. So it's the same thing. And I do miss the mystery
310
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:32.319
of looking at an album saying it
looks cool, have no clue what it
311
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:37.079
sounds like, and buying it anyway. Same or a movie, horror movie
312
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.200
or whatever. Yeah. Yeah,
I think you invested in it more too,
313
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.839
because you bought it. You would
listen to it and you would actually
314
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:47.920
like it because you don't wan't to
waste your money. Yeah, yeah,
315
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.000
that. Or you could put the
little the little blue sticker. Remember that
316
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:52.920
that CD store of the wall.
You put the little blue sticker on the
317
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:56.440
back. And if you scratch the
shit out of the CD and bring it
318
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.200
back and say, I don't know, shit's broken, I'm gonna grab new
319
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.079
one. They had that lifetime.
Yeah, there you go, a good
320
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:08.880
old days, just big. There's
that old people stuff falling on right there.
321
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:15.720
Well, you guys rock I love
what you did with this new album.
322
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.079
I think everybody else is gonna love
it too. They gotta check it
323
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.720
out. You mentioned about merch.
People can't listen to my show if they
324
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.039
don't buy band merch because it's the
only way you guys survive nowadays pretty much.
325
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.079
Yeah, and there is some cool
merch you guys have, so everybody's
326
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.000
got to check it out. You
have a final words you want to leave
327
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.839
our listeners with that we haven't covered
already. No, man, just absolutely
328
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.960
check out our new album please.
We would appreciate every single listen, every
329
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:48.759
stream and also more importantly, it
would help us out greatly. And we'd
330
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.319
love to see you guys on our
upcoming tour with Bush and Eva Underfire,
331
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.799
which are also our label mates.
So we're super stoked for the month of
332
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.839
November, and we're gonna have some
headlining shows going in the tour and headlining
333
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.759
shows coming out of the tour,
so we're gonna be pretty busy for the
334
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.319
rest of the year and we'd love
to hang out with you guys. We're
335
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:10.519
not like, I don't think any
of us really believe in like the rock
336
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:12.880
star bullshit. Like it's just we
like hang out at the merch booth.
337
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:17.559
Come say hi, we'll sign whatever, and we'll sign your baby shoes.
338
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.079
We don't give a shit, so
come say with me. Check our shows
339
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.839
out and the that's the most important
for us. I love it, and
340
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:29.920
what a great lineup for tour.
Man, that that's insane good night of
341
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:34.559
music. Yeah, it honestly like
reignited my love for Bush because I was
342
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:40.880
like a Bush fan in the nineties
growing up. I like loved what was
343
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:45.400
it sixteen stone that had all the
sick machine head and glycerine. Yeah,
344
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.359
so like and since then I haven't
listened to it that much. But like
345
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.200
the second we found out we're touring
with Bush, I started digging back into
346
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.680
the Bush catalog and re fell in
love with all those songs. But like,
347
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.480
also their new stuff that they're doing
like currently is really sick too.
348
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:04.160
They just haven't lost their touch.
So we're super stoked and appreciative to be
349
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:08.200
getting a tour with bands like that
and can't wait to see everybody in November.
350
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:12.680
Well, I can't wait to see
you out there, and thanks for
351
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:15.519
being on the adventure as a pipe
man, dude, Thank you so much.
352

they're actually bad wolves. You're damn right
14
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:12.200
and damn right badass, so dl
welcome to the show. Hey man,
15
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:19.159
thanks for having me. Oh my
pleasure. So in between ending my workday
16
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.239
and going out in Halloween Shenanigans.
I got a chance to check out your
17
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.760
whole new album, you know that
Kelly sent me. And that's why I
18
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.040
say it's badass, because, like
I do a lot of interviews, sometimes
19
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.760
I don't listen to the whole album. Sometimes I listen and you know,
20
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.280
to get a feel. But man, I had to listen to that whole
21
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:44.959
fucking album because it was insane,
awesome, awesome. That makes me happy
22
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:52.680
to hear because we're kind of sticklers
about the whole front to back album format,
23
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.879
Like we really pay extra attention even
after we're done making the music and
24
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.840
everything to how the track listing goes
and like the ebbs and flows of each
25
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.799
song going into each other. And
so yeah, that's cool to hear that
26
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:09.599
that people still appreciate the album format
in this day of the single. Yeah.
27
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.719
I'm old school too, so I'm
that way. Like in the eighties,
28
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.199
I would just sit on my balcony
with headphones, buy an album because
29
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.840
it looked cool, It had no
clue what it sounded like, and just
30
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.960
listening to a whole album cover to
cover, like ten times in a row,
31
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:30.280
looking at all the artwork, full
experience the lyrics and stuff like that.
32
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.319
In fact, I have a funny
story based on something we were talking
33
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:43.520
about ahead of time. So my
one of my first really really heavy albums.
34
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.039
And when I say really heavy,
like like I had Iron Maiden in
35
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.120
Preaseed and shit like that, but
that wasn't really heavy. My first was
36
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:58.520
Venom Welcome to Hell. Nice right, and so it had first come out.
37
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.960
Funny story with that is like I
used to get I lived in LA
38
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:08.360
in the eighties and the whole metal
sunset stream Sunset strip scene. Then I
39
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:15.479
Slayer's first show ever. Not you
were yeah Metallica show ever. That's a
40
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.800
badge of honor for sure. And
so we used to go to this record
41
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:27.400
store in the valley called OZ Records, and there was this record clerk there
42
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.479
that you used to always recommend these
albums to us when we walked in,
43
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:37.879
and turns out like he was starting
this record label. You might know it.
44
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.039
It's called Metal Blade Records. Never
heard of it, weird, and
45
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.280
uh, he handed me this Venom
album and I looked at him like,
46
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:52.759
holy shit, that's cool as hell. But nothing was ever like that yet.
47
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.919
Venom had a cool logo. Yeah, yeah, badass, and nothing
48
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.159
was like that yet you know,
like that the most devil worship you had
49
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.639
was Ozzy, Like I used to
get made fun of in high school.
50
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.759
You know, oh, you're devil
worshiper because I wear an Ozzy shirt.
51
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.719
Like it was stupid. Yep.
But then I sat down listening to this
52
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:18.600
album and I literally I was reading
the lyrics. I got scared the first
53
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:25.639
time I listened to it. Reading
the lyrics, I'm like, oh shit,
54
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.720
this is evil as hell man the
room right now. Now it's so
55
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:40.519
funny because now that album would be
considered kind of poppy today compared to standard.
56
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.759
We're desensitized, right, So yeah, when I was listening to your
57
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.920
album, that's what I was feeling, not not the scared part, but
58
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.639
the whole. Like I had to
listen to the whole album. It was
59
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.399
like, even though it's not a
concept, it's still a story. Any
60
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.319
albums of story, even if it's
not a concept. The album and it
61
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:06.639
just ebbs and flows, and I
love how the sound goes from the young
62
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:13.480
clean and the clean vocals to the
growling to all these different things that I
63
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.480
can totally tell you guys were just
experimenting with your creativity, which is something
64
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:24.319
I absolutely love. Yeah, yeah, I mean we didn't even make it
65
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:30.079
a point. We weren't like super
adamant about experimenting or anything. The only
66
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.079
thing that we went into this knowing
that we wanted to kind of highlight is
67
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.279
just growth as a band and the
growth as individuals, as players, as
68
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.839
singers, and we just wanted to
try. We wanted to have no rules.
69
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.600
We wanted to try everything and anything, even if it sucks. Like
70
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.759
you know, this day and age, it's like everybody kind of can afford
71
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.560
to have their own home studio now, so it's like you have you're not
72
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.240
staring at the clock in some expensive
recording studio like trying to get things right,
73
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.000
like you have all the time in
the world and all the resources now
74
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.800
and there's just like no excuse.
And we made it a point to spend
75
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.199
extra time on these things. And
even if it didn't work out, like
76
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:16.800
if it's just something you wanted to
try and you end up throwing it out,
77
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.279
who cares, Like you tried it
and you can kind of move on.
78
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:26.519
But that was the biggest biggest marker
in making Die about It was just
79
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:31.360
to have no rules and grow as
a band grow. You know, there's
80
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.160
a lot of things that you can
listen to on the new record that you
81
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:38.560
can tell that I tried new things
as a singer. I did some rapping
82
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:43.560
stuff, I tried some new screams
out. So yeah, yeah, without
83
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.439
wanting to get experimental, we sure
did. But you know, to me,
84
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:54.279
that's the whole key a of creativity
in general, be especially metal.
85
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.480
Like to me, from the very
beginning metal, it's about experimenting with sounds
86
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.000
to come up up with the sounds
that we have today. And I remember
87
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:08.720
I was playing guitar and my dad
was like, you better give that up
88
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.160
because you suck. I went through
the same shit, but it wasn't my
89
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.399
dad. It was my actual guitar
teacher that was like he pulled my dad
90
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.199
aside and was like, yeah,
this this dude doesn't have it. He
91
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.600
doesn't have a musical bone in his
body, because wow, I mean,
92
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.279
we were doing like the traditional bullshit
like the mel Bay books, and it
93
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.839
was cool. It was like informational
or whatever. But that's not why I
94
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:35.040
started playing guitar. I wanted to
learn riffs, like right, I wanted
95
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:41.800
to learn I would walk into every
lesson of mine and the teacher would be
96
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.240
like, so, did you go
over like what your homework was for the
97
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.680
week or whatever, And I would
just be like, no, but can
98
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.839
you teach me fucking astro, creepile, zombie dumb shit? And uh yeah,
99
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:56.279
the traditional teacher in that sense,
like he was just like, yeah,
100
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.560
this dude's not doing it for the
right reason. So right, like
101
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.759
I got I'm sick of doing scales
like that. Like I was doing scales
102
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.120
for weeks. It's like, Okay, you're just boring the shit out like
103
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.240
I was in school. That's what
it was. It was about, right,
104
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.680
bum bum bum bumb. It was
just like Jesus Christ, I want
105
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.079
to learn beautiful people, man,
exactly exactly so, and I used to
106
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.839
like just sit there and make sounds
and experiment what kind of sounds could I
107
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.319
make with this guitar? And that's
what my dad would be like, you
108
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.120
suck and he didn't get it though. He didn't get what I was doing.
109
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.000
And so that's why I love about
this album is because I could totally
110
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.960
tell you were experimenting with different sounds, different things, and even if things
111
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:45.559
dropped off and didn't make the album, it's those that dropped off that probably
112
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.159
led to what did make the album. Yeah, yeah, I mean mistakes
113
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.600
even push you in a certain direction, and yeah, I don't know.
114
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.720
It was just like it. I
kind of have been telling everybody that this
115
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:05.279
felt like even though it wasn't,
this felt like my first album with the
116
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.039
band. It was cool to do
Deer Monsters, but like the environment that
117
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.960
I came into joining the band,
it was just like kind of turmoil at
118
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.919
that time in the band, and
they were working on that album or they
119
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.960
were about halfway done with that album
when I joined the band, So it
120
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.200
was just this like break neck pace, hit the ground running kind of thing.
121
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.279
And once I joined, you know, I came to LA and we
122
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.360
got in the studio and finished up
Deer Monsters together. So that was like
123
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.080
kind of testing the the collaborative waters
or whatever. But this one was just
124
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.240
like it feels like my my feels
like my baby this time, like I
125
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.200
got to co produce it with Josh
Gilbert and John We all kind of put
126
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.919
our heads together and it was just
like, yeah, we got I got
127
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.639
to produce it from the ground up
from day one, from song one.
128
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.799
It's like my my themes, my
lyric ideas, you know, it's even
129
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.320
even so like uh riffs and drum
parts, and so I was like very
130
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.279
hands on with this record, and
I just probably because of that, I'm
131
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:16.519
so much more like emotionally invested and
attached to this material. And I don't
132
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.159
blame you because and it is rough
when you come in, especially halfway through
133
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:26.559
an album. And I think it
proved something too that on this album you
134
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.039
were allowed to have creative input for
lack of a better way of putting it,
135
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:37.879
you know, and they treated you
like it was a new band,
136
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.720
that you were all new That's the
way I look at it, right,
137
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:48.559
And because this band has gone through
so much like public turmoil and legalities and
138
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.919
just just crazy shit that like I
know that when I started playing music or
139
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.440
I started playing with bands, I
never thought that I would have to deal
140
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.720
with the stuff that this band I
dealt with. It's just like weird shit
141
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:05.720
that never think about. And I
think because of that, like we we
142
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.799
really wanted to hit a reset button
on this album and and come together as
143
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.639
a stronger unit and just kind of
present the band in a new way.
144
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.080
But also that's the challenge, right, Like, but also keep intact what
145
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.039
the core of what bad wolves Is, and I think we did that beautifully
146
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:30.240
on this album. I think a
perfect example that thought I thought of in
147
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.240
my mind. Of course, maybe
not as bad to Turmoil and stuff,
148
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:39.039
but Iron Maiden is to me a
perfect example of the saint. Like I
149
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:45.200
was an old school Maiden fan,
Paul Deano fan and all that, and
150
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.639
Bruce was great that first album,
and I thought, wow, it was
151
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.759
great, but I was still like, yeah, Paul Deano, you know,
152
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.000
yeah, yeah, no. And
I get it, like there's there's
153
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:01.000
a nobody is like super st if
you're already invested in a band and it's
154
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.879
like say it's your favorite band or
whatever. Like you said, my Iron
155
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:09.480
made an it's tough because like I
totally get that, Like I've I've had
156
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:15.159
scenarios where I feel the same way, where you get invested in the lineup
157
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.039
of a band and member changes are
tough, especially like a front man lead
158
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.080
single change, Like that's that's pretty
jarring for a lot of people. And
159
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.279
you know, at the end of
the day, it's like first record,
160
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.559
I can see, like you know, you got to kind of dip your
161
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.559
toe in the water and see what
it's like. But at this point,
162
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.080
like I was just talking with my
wife about this kind of blew my mind
163
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.759
because I'd never really think about it
because it's where I was just going and
164
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.039
I don't really think about time too
much. But yeah, I mean we're
165
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:48.559
going on. I've been in the
band for three years now and uh to
166
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.320
two albums in and I feel like
we've kind of split the difference at this
167
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.480
point. So like, yeah,
you know, if you're a true Bad
168
00:12:54.559 --> 00:13:00.320
Wolves fan and you love what the
band does, regardless of voice on the
169
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.320
music, I think that you'd be
happy to see where the band is at
170
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:11.519
and to know that this is a
healthy working environment and everybody's happy and we're
171
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.159
like stoked to be making the art
that we're making, and yeah, it
172
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.480
just feels good, man. So
I feel like, you know, true
173
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.960
Bad Wolves fans, they stick with
us, and anybody that says otherwise than
174
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.879
I don't think that they're really a
fan of the band get to begin with.
175
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:31.320
They might have just been a fan
of the ex member or whatever.
176
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.559
So exactly, it's a big sandbox, man. There's room for everybody who
177
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.159
gives a shit, no doubt,
and that's why I compared it to Maide
178
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.399
and and even in my example,
it's like but after a little while,
179
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.879
and it wasn't a long while.
All of us hardcore made in fans.
180
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.320
We're still hardcore made in fans made
and yeah, exactly. You know,
181
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:58.639
it just evolved, it didn't.
It's not like it changed. It evolved.
182
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.519
It's still made in and it's still
bad wolves. It's just a better
183
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:09.000
version you damn right. See Boom, I just spilled my coffee on myself.
184
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.240
Yeah, man, it is it
is to some. I mean I'm
185
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.759
not going to take anything away from
anybody, and especially like the back catalog,
186
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.039
the back catalog with Tommy and really
sick shit. I would have never
187
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.519
been interested in joining this band if
they didn't write such great music with the
188
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:30.679
X singer. So it's like point
both both parts of it can be true.
189
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:35.200
Like Jesus, I'm so sick of
hearing about it. It's fun right
190
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:37.759
annoying honestly, Yeah, yeah,
not like from you, but like no,
191
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.600
of course you go on the internet
and stuff, and uh, sometimes
192
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.840
it gets so loud and it's just
like, man, music shouldn't be like
193
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.360
that, like you're saying before,
like this ain't corporate America. It's it's
194
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.759
music. It's a band. It's
not even a record label. It's a
195
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.600
band. There shouldn't be all that
bull crap. And you know what,
196
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.120
I agree with what you said.
If you're really truly a fan, you're
197
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.960
a fan of the whole band and
the music and everything. Like, there's
198
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.840
plenty of bands that have had changeups, and it doesn't change my viewpoint in
199
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.639
a band. It just you know, it's just a little different, that's
200
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.200
all. But it's still the same, which is the point you were making.
201
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.919
It's a band, it's a unit, it's a fucking team. Like,
202
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:28.440
you know, we can't make this
work without John, we can't make
203
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.480
this work without Doc. I mean, everybody has an essential role in this
204
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.039
band, and it's not just one
guy that's carrying it. So I think
205
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.919
the most important part too, and
I think that's what made this album so
206
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:46.559
great in my opinion, is what
you're saying before the everybody being happy,
207
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:52.360
no drama, getting along, not
dealing with all the bullshit, because that
208
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.840
stuff does affect you man as an
artist, as a person, and like
209
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:03.559
you can't possibly put on a game
face when that shit's going on, right
210
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.919
and uh, And that's not to
say that like it's been all fucking rainbows
211
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.840
and Rose Petals, Like this has
been really tough on all of us,
212
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:17.679
like the member change and everything.
That's like I said, it was turmoil
213
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.200
when I joined the band, and
like that continued on throughout the Deer Monster
214
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:26.480
cycle pretty heavily. Like at some
time, like anytime we would release something,
215
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.399
it would just be this like flurry, whether it was real or not,
216
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.799
whether it was like bots on the
internet or whether somebody was telling but
217
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.399
it was just like like you said, it's it's hard to get into something
218
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:42.039
when you're just like getting your ass
kicked every day. It's just not fun.
219
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:47.759
So this this, it feels like
we're really happy now because it feels
220
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.000
like a rebirth, like where we
get another shot and we get to do
221
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:53.519
what we want. And that's like
the biggest thing, Like if you don't
222
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.320
like what you're doing, why are
you doing it? So no that,
223
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:03.279
especially in music, I everget that, Like there are bands that I know
224
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.400
for a fact that are in it
for the business part of it, And
225
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.839
like that's the stupidest thing I ever
heard. That sounds really it sounds really
226
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:15.240
boring, right, you know,
music's supposed to be a whole different thing
227
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.839
and it's a passion you know,
and if you're just going through the motions,
228
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.720
everybody can tell the listener the band, everybody. You know, I
229
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.559
can tell talking to you that you
have a absolute passion not only for the
230
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:33.759
band, but for this album.
And that is one of the most important
231
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.000
things. And I know if listeners
check out this new album, no,
232
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.599
I have a passion for it too, because listen, I've been bad Wolves
233
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:45.759
fanning for a long time. The
first song I clicked on, I'm like,
234
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.920
oh my god, this is badass. Nice thanks man. Well,
235
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.319
it's good to hear. It's good
to hear. It's it's I get it.
236
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:59.440
It's tough to it's tough to move
on, and it's tough to buy
237
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:04.200
a new car sometimes, but people
get behind the wheel. It's just like
238
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:08.519
this. Just like I say in
radio, Okay, there's people in my
239
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:15.599
industry that can't let go of seventies
analog radio. I say, they have
240
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.880
WKRP in Cincinnati syndrome, which was
this, Oh yeah, they come back
241
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.480
in the seventies making fun of radio. Yeah. I mean, you can
242
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:29.400
use that analogy with because I'm a
studio recording nerd too, so you can
243
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.839
use that analogy making records. Like
some guys still are just like I'm gonna
244
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.559
use amps and that's it. I'm
gonna do it the hard way. And
245
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.000
like here we are with like ax
effects is and kempers and like digital guitar
246
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.839
amps that sound probably better now than
real amps. Since so I don't know,
247
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.440
Yeah, to each his own right
there it is. And so how
248
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:55.400
do how does everybody connect to you
guys on socials on the web if they
249
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:57.920
don't know, but more importantly,
how they check out this new album?
250
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.559
Land drops? Uh? This new
album will be anywhere and everywhere all DSPs,
251
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.880
It'll be on Spotify, Deezer Apple, you name it, all that
252
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:15.880
stuff, YouTube and anything bad Wolves
related that is in terms of tour or
253
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.799
merchandise or you know whatever, any
anything you need to get your Bad Wolves
254
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.119
filled, just go to bad Wolvesnation
dot com or any of our socials.
255
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.160
We have Instagram, TikTok, fucking
whatever, you know, all the all
256
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:32.960
the crap that the kids are spinning
nowadays. And yeah, I mean we're
257
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.599
we're we're pretty shitty at it,
to be honest with you, like,
258
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.799
uh, it takes a certain kind
of person to like be good at social
259
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.119
media, and I'm like working on
it. I'm still trying to figure it
260
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:49.319
out. It is. It's not
like you can't just be a musician anymore.
261
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.880
And that's like, that's something that
I need to get over because it
262
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.920
really frustrates the hell out of me. It frustrates like a lot of the
263
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.640
bands. Some some guys in Bad
Wolves are better at it than other Doc
264
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.119
is great at you know, uh, social media and connecting online and stuff.
265
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:08.160
He's got his podcast, But like
John and I were just like the
266
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:12.880
grumpy old man, get off my
internet lawn. Like I'm so bad at
267
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:18.599
it. But I I do appreciate
that people want to connect with us online
268
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.319
and stuff. But I'm just we're
weird, man, you know, We're
269
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.039
like we're older band. We're this
is kind of a young man's game,
270
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:29.519
and we're we're an older band,
and all of us dudes have like seen
271
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:33.920
the internet happen, you know,
like we were getting the the AOL discs
272
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.880
sent right parents' house. So like, yeah, I'm still so funny you
273
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:42.599
mentioned that because I had somebody,
yes, we had an email to me
274
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:48.079
had an AOL email address. I'm
like I had to ask, and I'm
275
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:53.319
like AOL. My wife still has
an AOL dot com email address, and
276
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:57.160
I just like laugh at her because
I always right end up like filling out
277
00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.240
paperwork on what's your email again?
And she tells me. I'm was like
278
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:07.359
aol, Jesus, we're old right
right, Oh my god? But you
279
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.480
know I do. I do miss
some of the old days where it was
280
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.799
easier for a musician, But it's
also easier nowadays for musicians to get hurt.
281
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.400
It's like it's like anything else in
life. There's the good side,
282
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:22.240
there's the bad side, and the
double edged sword. But at the end
283
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.200
of the day, I don't even
know what the hell I was gonna say
284
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:30.400
about it. I just Internet Internet. At the end of the day,
285
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:37.000
they're gonna hear about this album from
the Internet on this interview. Yeah yeah,
286
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.720
well no, you know what,
something is something that I've like because
287
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:45.000
we talk about this. We literally
have phone calls, we have label meetings,
288
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.000
band meetings, we literally talk about
the Internet and social media all day
289
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:57.720
every day. And I'm just still
like of the mindset that I just want
290
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.759
to bring the like the mystique back
to the musician. You know what I
291
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:06.079
mean, tape trading. I want
tape trading coming back, dude. I
292
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:11.400
just I just remember like all the
stuff that I liked growing up. Sure,
293
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:14.559
like you know what the singer's voice
sounds like on the record, fine,
294
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.079
but like I miss wondering like,
oh, what does it sound like
295
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:21.240
when that guy talks? Like what
they do it all about? And you
296
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:25.720
just don't know because there wasn't like
you couldn't just see them taking a shit
297
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.680
and eating dinner every day like on
their social media, And like, I
298
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.920
miss the mystique of musicians. It
made them so much cooler back in the
299
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.359
day. Now you're just like,
ah, yeah, I mean obviously everybody's
300
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.759
like, everybody's the same, We're
all just human, these make music whatever.
301
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:47.839
But it was it like it kind
of made your your musicians and your
302
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.960
heroes, like the even sports figures
all that stuff. It made them like
303
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.960
superheroes and you kind of don't have
that anymore. Well, it's it's same
304
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:03.640
with radio, you know, like
radio people, I'd rather have the I
305
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:10.519
call it theater of the mind,
like Howard Stern as a perfect example.
306
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.240
If you watch his bits, they're
not as funny. They're so funny because
307
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:21.279
your mind is wandering at what is
really what's going on that's not really going
308
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:22.720
on? In the studio and when
you're listening. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
309
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.839
exactly. So it's the same thing. And I do miss the mystery
310
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:32.319
of looking at an album saying it
looks cool, have no clue what it
311
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:37.079
sounds like, and buying it anyway. Same or a movie, horror movie
312
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.200
or whatever. Yeah. Yeah,
I think you invested in it more too,
313
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.839
because you bought it. You would
listen to it and you would actually
314
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:47.920
like it because you don't wan't to
waste your money. Yeah, yeah,
315
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.000
that. Or you could put the
little the little blue sticker. Remember that
316
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:52.920
that CD store of the wall.
You put the little blue sticker on the
317
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:56.440
back. And if you scratch the
shit out of the CD and bring it
318
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.200
back and say, I don't know, shit's broken, I'm gonna grab new
319
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.079
one. They had that lifetime.
Yeah, there you go, a good
320
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:08.880
old days, just big. There's
that old people stuff falling on right there.
321
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:15.720
Well, you guys rock I love
what you did with this new album.
322
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.079
I think everybody else is gonna love
it too. They gotta check it
323
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.720
out. You mentioned about merch.
People can't listen to my show if they
324
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.039
don't buy band merch because it's the
only way you guys survive nowadays pretty much.
325
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.079
Yeah, and there is some cool
merch you guys have, so everybody's
326
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.000
got to check it out. You
have a final words you want to leave
327
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.839
our listeners with that we haven't covered
already. No, man, just absolutely
328
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.960
check out our new album please.
We would appreciate every single listen, every
329
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:48.759
stream and also more importantly, it
would help us out greatly. And we'd
330
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.319
love to see you guys on our
upcoming tour with Bush and Eva Underfire,
331
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.799
which are also our label mates.
So we're super stoked for the month of
332
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.839
November, and we're gonna have some
headlining shows going in the tour and headlining
333
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.759
shows coming out of the tour,
so we're gonna be pretty busy for the
334
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.319
rest of the year and we'd love
to hang out with you guys. We're
335
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:10.519
not like, I don't think any
of us really believe in like the rock
336
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:12.880
star bullshit. Like it's just we
like hang out at the merch booth.
337
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:17.559
Come say hi, we'll sign whatever, and we'll sign your baby shoes.
338
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.079
We don't give a shit, so
come say with me. Check our shows
339
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.839
out and the that's the most important
for us. I love it, and
340
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:29.920
what a great lineup for tour.
Man, that that's insane good night of
341
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:34.559
music. Yeah, it honestly like
reignited my love for Bush because I was
342
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:40.880
like a Bush fan in the nineties
growing up. I like loved what was
343
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:45.400
it sixteen stone that had all the
sick machine head and glycerine. Yeah,
344
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.359
so like and since then I haven't
listened to it that much. But like
345
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.200
the second we found out we're touring
with Bush, I started digging back into
346
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.680
the Bush catalog and re fell in
love with all those songs. But like,
347
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.480
also their new stuff that they're doing
like currently is really sick too.
348
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:04.160
They just haven't lost their touch.
So we're super stoked and appreciative to be
349
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:08.200
getting a tour with bands like that
and can't wait to see everybody in November.
350
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:12.680
Well, I can't wait to see
you out there, and thanks for
351
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:15.519
being on the adventure as a pipe
