00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:13.679
Hey, you unto here? That's true? Why for you? You?

2
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:23.199
Hello, this is pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

3
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:25.160
Man W four c Y Radio and I'm.

4
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.480
Here with FCS.

5
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.120
Nice And I see you're here at download and you're

6
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.799
prepared for tonight because you're wearing corn.

7
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.320
Oh yeah, I'm already in my corn T shirt. I'm

8
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:35.920
ready to go.

9
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:40.799
I love when artists at a festival are so supportive

10
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.280
of other artists, no matter who they are. Let's way

11
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:44.240
it should be right.

12
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.439
Yeah, I mean I think artists are just like massive

13
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.079
fans totally. That's why we do it too, because we're like, oh,

14
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:52.640
that's sick. I want to do that as well.

15
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.799
Right, that makes sense, Like what if you weren't a fan,

16
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:56.920
why would you do it?

17
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:57.520
Exactly?

18
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.399
You know, you get the passion because you're into the music. Yeah,

19
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.879
and how could you write music if you don't love it?

20
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.840
Yeah? If if we were literally just talking about this earlier,

21
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:10.840
we were like, I just want to be here. I

22
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.439
want to be around the live music. I want to

23
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:14.439
be at every festival, at every gig all the time.

24
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.519
Totally. Even the reason I do it because I go

25
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.719
on tour. I do festivals all over the US I

26
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.680
do this. I do Bloodstock hell Fest. It's like my

27
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.280
youngest daughter. I'll bring her sometimes to a festival and

28
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.319
halfway through day one she's like, Dad, I don't know

29
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.280
how you do this every weekend, Like I'm done. To Ray,

30
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.959
I'm like, really, I don't know how I not do it,

31
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.200
and like I don't even like we have to get

32
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.959
to the airport in London by four and am, so

33
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.840
we're leaving straight from here. Yeah, And she was like, well,

34
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.400
we should probably miss some corn and I'm like, Nope,

35
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.760
absolutely not. I don't give a shit. Okay, no, not

36
00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:00.599
at all, you know exactly. It's it's the whole atmosphere too,

37
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.640
and the whole camaraderie. We're like all big family.

38
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.599
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

39
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.039
And I saw you the other day doing the interviews

40
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.960
around here and you even love doing that and most

41
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.039
a lot of the artists they don't be. And I

42
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.520
don't blame him, you know, this is the business side

43
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.159
of it. And by the way, he told me great

44
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:24.199
things about you too, Gary. But he's the reason I

45
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.560
went to your set too, because I was talking about

46
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.120
you and like I saw you around and I like,

47
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.199
you know, how you were and your energy and so

48
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.159
we're talking you gotta go see her set, you gotta go,

49
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.400
And so I did. Oh my god, that was fricking awesome.

50
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.919
Like there's artists that play great music. Yeah, there's artists

51
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.800
that are great live, and there's artists that you're just like,

52
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:56.319
oh my god, it's phenomenal, because like, a live show

53
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.680
shouldn't be like listening to the album.

54
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.599
No. We literally spoke about this this morning because we

55
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.319
saw a band and we were like, oh, it's exactly

56
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.319
like Spotify. Right. It's like, that's not what I want.

57
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.680
I want it to be different. I want the energy.

58
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.199
I want things to go slightly wrong like you want to.

59
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.639
You want it to feel real totally.

60
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.639
Yeah, it's funny you should say that because there's one

61
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.479
band that in all the press in the United States,

62
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:26.400
we all talk about that they're the most boring band

63
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:27.960
ever live.

64
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.199
Are you gonna name drop them?

65
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.280
No, I'm not that journalist.

66
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:33.840
Are they here?

67
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:40.280
I don't know, but I might not say. But yeah,

68
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.360
it's like they don't even move. No, it's like I

69
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.400
could just go home and listen to the album. It

70
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.000
will be the same exact thing. I comfort your live show, corn.

71
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.599
I always like them, but until I saw them live.

72
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.400
I was like, oh my fricking.

73
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.800
Guy, I've never seen them.

74
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.879
Oh my god, one of the best shows ever. Like,

75
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.759
even if you don't like corn, you want to be

76
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.960
at a corn show. And that's what it's about right there.

77
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:14.000
But I even dug the other day when he was wearing.

78
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.120
The heads, yes, and.

79
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.040
I even went up to it. I was like, I

80
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.120
must be freaking hot in there, because that was so

81
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.040
hot that day he was, I know, right. And it

82
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.120
took me a second though at first, like I didn't

83
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.240
look closely. I'm like, why is he wearing the head

84
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.279
like that? And then I saw it. I was like,

85
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:37.319
that is freaking brilliant.

86
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:41.920
It's a massive me yes, big or go home. And

87
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.120
I was like, wangoing big right.

88
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:48.240
And that's it to me. That's the artistic creativity too,

89
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.439
Like it's not just making the music, made the head

90
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.480
as well. Yeah, I heard well. Garry and I were talking.

91
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.240
He said, you make the clothes too. Did you make

92
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:57.800
this too?

93
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.680
Not the corn? No, I know, not the corn, but

94
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.000
I made this underneath.

95
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.879
I made the little kill because I looked he told

96
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.439
me a look, I'm like that shit's cool. Like your

97
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.959
shorts you were wearing the other day. Yeah, those were

98
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.279
cool as hell. I'm like, where do I get a pair?

99
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:14.279
Because those are cool?

100
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.240
Into trousers as well.

101
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.360
Oh man, that's so old school.

102
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.399
Say ready for festival, pockets, trousers, shorts all in one.

103
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.680
See I need that because to come over here to

104
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.800
the UK, it's bipolar weather here.

105
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.319
Oh yeah throughout the day as well.

106
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.000
Yeah, that's what I mean. The first download I did,

107
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.480
it was like one interview I had my hoodie off,

108
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:37.959
and then the next interview I had to put it on,

109
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.240
and then the next interview I had to take it off.

110
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.000
Even this morning, walked in hoodie on by time I

111
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.000
got to the gate. Oh man, now I'm hot as hell.

112
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:48.959
I was cold just like five minutes ago.

113
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.000
Yeah right, carrying hod putting hoodie on, putting off, taking

114
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:53.519
off off exactly.

115
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.240
It's wild. So those shorts are brilliant. Then I need

116
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.160
a pair of those because I had to pack way

117
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.000
too much crap to come to the UK.

118
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.600
You know my dress yesterday it was long and then

119
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:05.639
it went short.

120
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:06.439
I love it.

121
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:07.399
Ready for weathers?

122
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.040
Yeah when did you start making clothes?

123
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:10.879
When I was ten?

124
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.199
Wow? How'd that happen?

125
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.360
My granddad bought me a sewing machine, and I was like, oh,

126
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.240
thank you, and just timing cloths.

127
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:25.600
Well use this right? Yeah, that's wild. So you're I'm

128
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.319
waiting for like I was thinking about that, like as

129
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.560
you're saying, I'm like, yeah, if I were a kid

130
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.160
and I got a sewing machine, I'll be like, the

131
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.040
frick is this? Why did you give this to me?

132
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:36.199
Do you use this? Now?

133
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:38.079
Give me something cool? No.

134
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.240
I have always loved making things. I used to like

135
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.120
Hans like pillows.

136
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:42.920
And stuff nice.

137
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.160
And then one of them was on top of the

138
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:48.639
fireplace and then the house caught fire and it's the

139
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:52.240
famous pillow. We still have its singed singedness.

140
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:52.839
Wow.

141
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.800
Yeah. And then I think the sewing machine was a

142
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.439
pretty fitting gift for me. Nice it's a good one.

143
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.240
He got one for my cousin as well, and it's

144
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:01.319
probably still in the box.

145
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.720
So where did the music start? Then? What happened? Then?

146
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:09.040
I started playing guitar when I was thirteen, okay, and

147
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:14.800
then I just really liked it. I started going to

148
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.680
gigs at the same time. My dad would take me

149
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.680
to gigs, and then I'd buy my dad tickets to

150
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.879
gigs I wanted to go to for like his birthday

151
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.720
or father's have you Father's day. We're going to this gig.

152
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.639
It's four hours away. Thank you.

153
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.319
That's great. I love that.

154
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.160
And then I went to college and did music. I

155
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.120
moved out and they did college at music when I

156
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:38.199
was sixteen, nice, just stuck with it.

157
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:39.279
Amazing.

158
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:41.560
I found my thing. I just knew. I was like,

159
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.000
that's that's what I want to do.

160
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.759
Well. When I saw you up on stage, it's definitely

161
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.920
your thing. Not because you're good, that's part and the reason,

162
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.000
of course, but you were having so much fun of it.

163
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:54.360
It's fun. It's so fun.

164
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:59.040
Like the look on your face. I was like, that's

165
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.399
the way every Urish should be up there totally. And

166
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.839
then the ending, I thought that was badass okay, where

167
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.519
you all just fall down and then you start doing

168
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.720
your thing like after a couple minutes of silence. Yeah,

169
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.240
oh my god, it was so cool.

170
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.560
We've done that since like the first gig. It just

171
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.800
happened on the first gig years ago, and we just

172
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.319
never didn't do it. We tried to not do it

173
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.279
once and we were like, no, it feels so wrong.

174
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:30.120
We can't not do it.

175
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:31.319
You can't not do it.

176
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.720
Yeah, it just happened, and we were like, nice, that's

177
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.200
how we end our shows now.

178
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.240
It is. It's one of the best endings I've ever seen.

179
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.799
I've seen thousands of concerts. Like it was just and

180
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.919
I didn't even know what to expect next because I

181
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.159
hadn't been to one of your shows before. So that's

182
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.679
long silence. Yeah, Like I almost left. I thought it

183
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.600
was over, but I am to take that until they

184
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.159
get off the stage. It's not over. Yeah, it's kind

185
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.039
of like you watch movies now, like Marvel movies credits. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,

186
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.840
and then you started laughing. I'm like, wow, that's great.

187
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.320
Yep. He has a recording on his phone of like

188
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:10.840
this five minute laugh we did once because we had

189
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:12.519
so much time at the end of the set, I

190
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:18.240
just kept going and the crowd is like, whooo, it

191
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:19.080
was so long.

192
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.639
Wow, that's fine. What else would you like the listeners

193
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:23.480
to know about you?

194
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.440
What would I like them to know about me? Nothing?

195
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.559
It's a secret. Oh, I like that just kidding. I

196
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:35.919
have no secrets. I'm too open. I literally be like, oh,

197
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.480
I'm going for a pooon now, and everyone's like we

198
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.440
didn't need to know, and I'm like, oh.

199
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.639
Oops, sorry telling you anyway.

200
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.960
Yeah, I literally can't lie. I try and then I laugh.

201
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:49.320
So what other passion do you have outside of music

202
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:50.399
and making clothes?

203
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:57.840
Honestly none, That's literally all I do. We go climbing. Nice, Yeah,

204
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:02.000
we go climbing like once a month when we have time.

205
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.879
Where it's the best place you ever climbed. Well.

206
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:08.639
I did my first outdoor climb the other day about

207
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:12.320
a month ago in Cheddar Gorge. That was really fun nice.

208
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:13.480
What was fun about it?

209
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:17.039
I was a bit scary. It'scuy. I climbed seventy five

210
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.960
meters wow, yep. And I did a slab which is

211
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:25.159
like this that was really good fun. Yeah. And then

212
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:28.639
other than that, I literally I wake up at seven,

213
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.919
start doing my music, got sew in, go to bet

214
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:34.480
at midnight, do it again the.

215
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.879
Next day, true artist. Yeah.

216
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.200
I cannot do it and that's the.

217
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:39.840
Way it should be.

218
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:40.559
Yeah.

219
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:45.720
The people that are doing it and don't want to

220
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.000
do it like that wrong business.

221
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:49.759
Yeah. I've had one day off this year.

222
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:53.080
I believe that I walked to my dog all day.

223
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:55.480
What type of dog?

224
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:56.840
A Scottish Terrier?

225
00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:57.519
Nice?

226
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:01.440
He's really really really cute. Yeah, so cute. Yeah, it's

227
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.879
the Coraline dog. Have you seen Coraline the film with

228
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.320
the button eyes? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you know the

229
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:09.000
dog gets that. Oh wow, he's really cute.

230
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.000
So does the dog ever come on stage with you?

231
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:15.440
Well, I think he go deaf. Oh it's really small,

232
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:16.440
like this big.

233
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:20.360
So he needs like the baby yea headphones.

234
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.360
You know, maybe I should get him some little headphones.

235
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:25.200
Yeah, it could be, and then you could dress him

236
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.840
up like you with the hair with the headphone.

237
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:28.559
Think he bite me?

238
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:29.960
That might happen.

239
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.519
Yeah, I think we fall out. I think he bite

240
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.679
my hands off for to play anymore.

241
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.720
So is your hair always red as it always been

242
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:39.720
red and always will be?

243
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.320
Yep, it just grows this way.

244
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:43.720
Of course, it's naturally.

245
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.120
It just comes out of my head red.

246
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:49.639
We'll see. My hair for many, many, many years was blue. Yeah,

247
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.960
it's even in my logo yep. And it just went

248
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.679
normal recently. But to me, it's like, yeah, it just

249
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:02.080
faded into brown. Oh it just happens totally. Yeah.

250
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.159
No, I can't. I can't stray from the red. I

251
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:05.600
don't think anyone recognized me.

252
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.960
That's what happens, Like you didn't recognize me, But I

253
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:14.039
have a bunch of artist friends that I've come through

254
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.039
the tent and they're like, oh man, I even know

255
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:21.960
it was you really yeah, totally, So now I might

256
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.240
have to go back to blue because now I just

257
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:25.360
look like everybody else.

258
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:26.759
Yeah, you don't want to blend in.

259
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.639
No, and then if you change your hair color then

260
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.559
you'd have to build all new or make all new heads.

261
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.559
Yeah, exactly know all that mistick of red red suits me.

262
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:38.159
It's definitely you.

263
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.200
I've taken it.

264
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.320
It's there, it is. How do people reach out to

265
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.360

00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:45.679

267
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.720
I do? I do sell. I make my march as well.

268
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.679
Okay in the garden nice.

269

00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.159
So tell tell them how to reach you everywhere.

271
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.799
Well, everything is on my website www. Dot begs official,

00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:07.279
dot co dot uk, and my instagram is on there.

273
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.000
Everything really just fine find me through the website.

274
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.200
Do you do TikTok too?

275
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:13.399
I do TikTok too.

276
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:17.200
What's your least favorite TikTok You've done that?

277
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:22.399
I've made all of them. I don't like TikTok. I

278
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.360
do it because I have to I want to.

279
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:30.200
TikTok Okay, so I do TikTok, but I hate it because, man,

280
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.720
it's a lot of work to make a one minute video.

281
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:34.240
I don't have that much time.

282
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.759
Yeah, it really sucks your soul when you spend like

283
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:42.519
a month making a music video and then people only

284
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.480
care about fifteen seconds of it. Yes, Or like a song,

285
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:50.720
you spend like six months working on one song and

286
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.039
people only want to listen to that one little hook

287
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:54.519
that went on TikTok.

288
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:59.519
Yeah, that bugs me too, because, like when I was younger,

289
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.399
even know what the music sounded like. You had your

290
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.879
hard earned money, and you boy an album and you

291
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.279
listen to the whole album ten million times, even if

292
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.080
you didn't like it, as you spent your mind.

293
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.279
Yeah, and you already invested at that point, exactly. Yeah.

294
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.919
There are some bands that I love now that I

295
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.279
hated when I heard the album first time, but I

296
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.679
just had to make that money work.

297
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.080
Yeah.

298
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:24.159
Some of the best songs that I've always loved would

299
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.559
never work today because the intro to the song would

300
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.159
be too long for somebody to wait for.

301
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:32.240
The best part doesn't as hot as it shed.

302
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:36.279
No like Battery by Metallica, nobody would ever like that

303
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:40.480
song because like a minute mellow intro before it gets

304
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:44.759
like massively hits you. Yeah, nobody would make it there,

305
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.039
you know what? Bothers me too. I found out that

306
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:51.399
they've even changed songwriting for today. It used to be

307
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.480
I was taught you raise a song, got the intro verse,

308
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:04.840
one chorus, verse two break, bridge, solo, verse, three chorus. Yeah,

309
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.679
now I'm talking a bunch of ours. Yeah. Now they

310
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.159
want to get rid of the intro. Only two verses

311
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:17.679
and no bridge, no solo, no nothing, just that's it.

312
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:20.720
Two verses, chorus, We're done. That's sad.

313
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.840
I am a fan of a short song. I do

314
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:25.840
like to keep my songs under three minutes.

315
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.039
You can do that with all that though.

316
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:29.679
But yeah, we do have a lot of part and

317
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.039
we have two basses, so there's already like a lot

318
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:32.559
going on.

319
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:35.399
How'd that come about to have two basses?

320
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.960
Well, he played bass.

321
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:40.200
And I saw him up there.

322
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:45.679
Yeah, I bought a bass. I wanted to play bass.

323
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.360
He didn't want to play guitar. I didn't want to

324
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:49.960
play guitar. We had no abruption.

325
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.879
All right, So I have a trivia question for you.

326
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:57.399
You probably won't know it because not most any rs,

327
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:01.360
even ones that were around, because it's an older artist.

328
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:05.000
I'll give you that hint. Who is one of the

329
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:10.120
most popular bassis on earth that never wanted to play bass.

330
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:13.759
The only reason they played bass is because the band

331
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.759
already had two guitars and he was a guitarist, so

332
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:24.480
he volunteered to do bass English English. Know this, well,

333
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.759
do like the Jeopardy sound? Dude, do.

334
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:34.919
Go and tell me the Beatles?

335
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:38.360
Could I say that Paul McCartney is this? She's going

336
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.759
to say that I knew you had it on the

337
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:41.600
tip of your tongue.

338
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:43.399
I was gonna throw My granddad told me that.

339
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.720
Now, if you listen to the Beatles now and you

340
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:50.600
listen to as bass lines, it's like a guitar. He

341
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.240
plays the bass like a guitar. It's not like a

342
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.840
normal bass sound. So there you go.

343
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.279
Yeah, And I was actually the first thing that came

344
00:16:58.360 --> 00:16:59.200
to my head.

345
00:16:59.519 --> 00:16:59.919

00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:04.160
your gut.

348
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:06.400
What else do you want the listeners to know that

349
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:07.599
we haven't covered already?

350
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:14.000

you know. And so that's cool and can you do okay?

359
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.079
It's funny. It might have even been Garriott said to me.

360
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:47.920
Somebody said to me when I was going to Birmingham

361
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:50.480
for the first time, like, you're not gonna understand a

362
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.440
word they say. I'm like, come on, how could I

363
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:53.160
not understand?

364
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:54.519
Don't ask me to do the accent.

365
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:57.319
I won't. I'm gonna do it for you, okay, right,

366
00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:58.559
this is what I heard.

367
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:06.240
Ye English people. They also like that I was.

368
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.119
Married to Okay, I got a funny one for you.

369
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:11.359
I do this one a lot in the UK. I

370
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:14.279
was married to an English girl. But a lot of

371
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:18.599
them they come over to States and because we don't know,

372
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.960
because we're dumb Americans and think they're all royals, that

373
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:27.000
they come over and act like they're royal, and they

374
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:32.319
basically played a whole smoothie. We're better than you. You know,

375
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.920
Americans are lower class, blah blah blah. And so anyway,

376
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.599
she was like that in the story she's from Newcastle.

377
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:46.160
I see, she didn't have the accent. She had the

378
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:51.000
proper queen's English. Actually, I don't know. She must have practiced,

379
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:54.519
because I've heard the accent now I didn't hear it before.

380
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.319
I'm like, yeah, she didn't talk like that at all.

381
00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:59.039
Yeah.

382
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:01.480
I think she was a Yeah, I think she was

383
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:02.839
ashamed of where she was from.

384
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:03.279
Dumb.

385
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.319
Yeah. So I thought it was pretty funny because I

386
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:09.640
never knew about Newcastle until like years after the divorce,

387
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:13.839
you know, and somebody said to me something I don't know.

388
00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:16.400
I found out she was from Newcastle, and they're like,

389
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.160
they all laugh. Everybody I say that to laughs they

390
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:23.599
laugh because I say she acted like miss you know,

391
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.000
like she's the Queen of England.

392
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:25.960
Yeah.

393
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:32.079
So ah, So anyway, you rock. I really love also

00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.720
