PipemanRadio Interviews Breed 77 at Bloodstock Open Air 2025.

The Pipeman Radio tour landed at The UK’s biggest independent metal festival featuring not only some of the biggest bands in Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, but also some of the best emerging metal music out of the UK and Europe competing in Metal 2 The Masses for a spot to play on New Blood Stage. The festival also features The Sophie Lancaster Stage dedicated to the memory of Sophie being brutally beaten and murdered just for being Goth and different. Sophie’s story particularly resonating with anyone who has been bullied, abused, or attacked for simply being who they are. The mission of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation is to stamp out prejudice, hatred and intolerance everywhere. This festival is more than just great music, fun, awareness, and togetherness. It's a family driven DIY Festival that cares where there ar eno outsiders. We join together for a common cause.

1
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:05.519
Hi, you have lunt.

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:12.240
Yes, that's true. W for see why crazy young.

3
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.000
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.280
Man W four cy Radio. And I'm here with.

5
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:26.120
I'm Paul and I'm sure we're breached seven seven at Bloodstock.

6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.559
Oh my god, tell us how you got the Bloodstock?

7
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:32.479
What was the road to Bloodstock?

8
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.159
A really fortuitous one because we've been away for a while.

9
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:41.039
He played Bloodstock some thirteen years ago for the second time.

10
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:45.000
We played the first Bloodstock open air way back when,

11
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.640
and they've been kind enough to invite us back. It

12
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.920
was a complete surprise. We have got an amazing slough

13
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.159
at eight o'clock on the Sophie Lancas. The stage nice

14
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.640
and the road to Bloodstock is furnished with bones and

15
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:04.040
blood and the rose petals. But it's great to be here, great,

16
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:04.640
great to be here.

17
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:06.159
Been over history.

18
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.079
Yes, well, didn't we do the first open air?

19
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:10.280
I just said that.

20
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:14.359
I wasn't tearing there.

21
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.280
The music's too loud.

22
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:20.040
Yeah, you know what these ages?

23
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.959
You know? And I understand this is like your biggest

24
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.760
gig on your comeback yet, right, true, true, So it

25
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:33.640
is a testament when a festival like this invites you

26
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.000
back and especially after that amount of time, like that's

27
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.840
a big gap and as you said, it was kind

28
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.000
of a shocker. So what happened? Did you just get

29
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.640
a call or an email one day and they just

30
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:49.359
not real.

31
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.400
We got the offer, like shortly after we did our

32
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.040
first comeback tour. You suddenly back in the pond. You're

33
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:57.560
able to talk to a lot of people. We've been

34
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.439
around for a long time, so we know people and

35
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.760
people know us. We've grown together with this festival, with

36
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.639
loads of other festivals, loads of entities in the rock

37
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.479
and metal scene in the UK, and we don't take

38
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.120
this for granted for one second. We are so appreciative

39
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.520
of every chance that we have to put our music

40
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.719
out there and to be able to share in this experience.

41
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.919
We consider ourselves, you know, so so lucky. Well, well

42
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.680
fuck that lucky, you know man, it's like it's thirty

43
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.520
years of work got us here, you know, but we

44
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.960
are so appreciative to be able to be around this

45
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:31.759
far in the game.

46
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.840
Well, we're appreciated that have you here at Bloodstock, because

47
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:37.520
you guys are badass.

48
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:39.960
Thank you the fact, what was it.

49
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.400
That made you wanna make this comeback at this point

50
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:44.879
in time.

51
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.039
I think it was time. You know, it was like

52
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.319
we had the atus, but we had to do it. Yeah,

53
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.800
we need to show everybody, and you know, like, well, yeah,

54
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:52.719
you know, we had to stay.

55
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.800
You know, it's what it is. I thought we rock.

56
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.520
I think the final kick in the ass was COVID.

57
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.120
Oh really, I think we'd put the band on park

58
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:07.039
for so long and Covid like made you appreciate everything

59
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.199
much more. And you're thinking, if you've had the chance

60
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.960
once to do something you love and you have the

61
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.680
slightest minute chance whatever of doing it again, you gotta

62
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.719
grab that with both hands, you know, and run. And

63
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.719
that's what we did and bring us a lot of

64
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.960
joy to do it. And in a world so bereft

65
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.039
of joy and good things, the more good things you

66
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:27.759
can do better.

67
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.120
Yeah, we need you, guys, because music is the ultimate

68
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.560
therapy and the ultimate escape from the fucking nutcase shit

69
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.599
going on in this world? Place? Now, is it?

70
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:39.039
Yeah?

71
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.039
No? And I live in the States, So I'm sorry, Well,

72
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:42.960
was sorry for you.

73
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:43.879
I know. Sorry.

74
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.159
I keep escape at the Costa Rica like for months

75
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:54.280
at times. I be alone way now be there. And

76
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.520
I love the shirt, okay, the Zeppelin shirt and well

77
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.520
I love most of all is you could go to

78
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.360
Zeppelin in nineteen seventy six for a donation of three

79
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.000
dollars and fifty cents?

80
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:07.840
Is that amazing?

81
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.199
Like you, I can't even buy a water out there

82
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.719
right now for three hours of fifty cents.

83
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.439
I'd to tell you something like pretty topical, like around

84
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.600
the time of resting Powosi back to the beginning concert,

85
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.800
like a fan of ours sent us a ticket stop

86
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.959
from when we played with Sabbath in nineteen ninety nine. Wow,

87
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.360
And it was like two thousand people Black Sabbath, the

88
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.480
first reunion of the original lineup in a small venue,

89
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.399
and I think the ticket price was like nine pounds

90
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.639
fifty and it's like whoa, But I think it's a

91
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.079
it's a dambing indictment because we need to have ticket

92
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.279
prices need to be down, because like live music needs

93
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.959
to be accessible to the kids, to the people tomorrow,

94
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.639
who's going to be around in thirty years. We're not

95
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.560
going to be around in thirty years going to concerts,

96
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.639
but the kids will, and we need to do everything

97
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.480
we can to make it much more accessible, you know,

98
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.480
like corporations have taken over, like in my country, yeah,

99
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.680
like every every every festivals is Coca Cola this, Percy

100
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.920
that or whatever you know, and the branded festivals. And

101
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.120
I think this is where Bloodstock stands head and shoulders

102
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.040
above everybody else in the way, in the style and

103
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.000
in the class that they do a metal festival.

104
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:21.360
And still being diy so much like come on. That

105
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.759
means the people running as festival truly care.

106
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.000
Yeah, you can notice it. You tell when you go around,

107
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.399
you look at people's faces, you look you, you talk

108
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.720
to anybody and the shared experience and Bloodstock is like

109
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:36.040
not the festival.

110
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.920
No doubt about it. What do you find the change

111
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.480
of when you played back then to playing now?

112
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:45.040
I don't know.

113
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.839
For me personally, I think when we did the first

114
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.759
shows that obviously the fans that came out to see us,

115
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.000
which are kind of friends. Do we have people bringing

116
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.319
their newbornes with them, Hey I met my wife or

117
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.759
one of your shows. That personal thing the main thing

118
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.439
for us, you know, just to see how fin base

119
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.160
on whether we're at and what's happened in those times

120
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.199
years with life. That's another thing that we at least

121
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.360
we felt personally. For me, I think everybody would agree

122
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.519
in the band what was that that fact?

123
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.600
I love that, And I was talking about just before

124
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.759
in the eighties, when I was going to gigs, I

125
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.480
didn't see people my age, and he didn't go to

126
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.759
a band that was my age. Like the fact that

127
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.199
you go see Metallica like I was at their first

128
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.839
show ever. Yeah, And there's no way when I was

129
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:33.959
at age, I would go see a band of sixty

130
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:34.519
year olds.

131
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.519
Yeah, three four generations now right, the same show.

132
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:37.839
Yeah.

133
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:38.040
Now.

134
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:42.319
Meanwhile, now I brought my son into his first marsh bit.

135
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.639
I brought to of my grandsons into their first marsh pit,

136
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.199
and that would never appen. My dad would have never

137
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.879
brought me to a marsh pit or a show like

138
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:55.560
And then pricing, talk about pricing. We were talking about that.

139
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.720
How do kids today afford to go to these shows?

140
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.800
I couldn't afford it when I was paying two dollars

141
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.720
for a ticket to see Metallic or Slayer and a

142
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:11.240
T shirt for five. Are these kids scraping it together

143
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.360
hundreds of dollars? It's ridiculous.

144
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:15.079
It becomes restrictive.

145
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.040
Yeah, we the youth need to be exposed to music.

146
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:23.040
Music is the best therapy. I have this viewpoint. By

147
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.399
the way, if we took the whole world and forced

148
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.800
them to go to one big music festival, specifically our

149
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.720
type of music, we could solve all the world problems

150
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.720
and everybody wouldn't be polarized and we'd all be united

151
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:39.480
for a change.

152
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.319
And it is, Yeah, it is a unifier. I think,

153
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.639
like it's a no brainer. It's a communion of people

154
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.439
like that realize that, like they've never been around so

155
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.839
many people that have, don't judge them, are so open,

156
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.519
so accepting. It's like once you get it, like a

157
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.199
nation of misfits. Everyone who's been chucked out of everywhere.

158
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.959
Now with them are you And it's a beautiful ton

159
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:02.600
of the tables.

160
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:05.759
And thank god nowadays we are a family opposed to

161
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.759
against each other. Like in my day, I was a

162
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:11.360
long hair I couldn't go to punk shows. Punks couldn't

163
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.839
go to my shows. And it was stupid reading your

164
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.560
T shirt. And that's for Sophie Lancaster too, you know.

165
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:28.600
And how about this my original battle vest Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, wow,

166
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:29.759
look at.

167
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:36.879
That right, that's that's a life well lived exactly.

168
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.120
Not only that, but if I was a kid at

169
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.759
that time, I couldn't afford some few hundred dollars pre

170
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:47.159
made battle vest I made my fucking owns.

171
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.799
You know, and that I think that's the thing now,

172
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:51.799
isn't it right.

173
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.000
We gotta bring stuff like that back, lower prices, get

174
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.840
the youth involved, and I think that'll be better for

175
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:06.480
the world in society. So tell people how they can

176
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.440
reach out to you now or splitzers that probably never

177
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.159
add a chance to its be exposed to you. Don't

178
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.840
check out your music tour dates, merge everything first protocol.

179
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.519
You can find us at Facebook dot com forwards, Fastbree

180
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.279
seven seven, There'll be links to everything else. We're not

181
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.240
that well versed in all this social stuff. Well guys

182
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.840
from way back handing out posters and flyers after gigs,

183
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.759
but everything's on there. We've got a new album coming out,

184
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.519
it's called seven, and we'll go anywhere and we'll do

185
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:38.360
anything to be able to further this message and get

186
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:39.600
this comeback to stick.

187
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.279
Nice. Can I write you a letter to get one

188
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.679
of your tapes for the new album?

189
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:46.480
Yeah?

190
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.720
I miss it, Yeah, I miss those days, the tape

191
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:50.480
trading mate.

192
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.519
Yeah yeah, yeah, I think not when there was a

193
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.080
physicality to it. You take more ownership of an object

194
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.879
like that then you're just streaming another thing onto your phone,

195
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.200
well have you. But we live in a brave new

196
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.879
world and you adapt to die, and we're trying our best,

197
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.120
you know, to keep up with the times. But the

198
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.440
endgame is to get physical people to come to the

199
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.639
physical realm at places like Bloodstock and be able to

200
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:13.519
see us life.

201
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:18.960
Absolutely because whoever wasn't here and missed your show, they

202
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.440
missed a lot. So they need to go check you

203
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.080
guys out, and find now where else you're playing and

204
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:29.759
support bands like you that are keeping this great family alive.

Michelle Kerr was my press officer for my entire fucking

career here in the UK, my entire career with Machinat.

210
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.240
She recently passed away and it was a very very

211
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.960
sad day. And I can tell you the reason that

212
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.440
I'm gonna tell this story because she was family. She

213
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:05.320
was Bloodstock family, she was heavy metal UK family. Most

214
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.879
of the bars that you know and love you probably

215
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:15.840
heard of because of that woman right there. Slive Knots, Slayer, Machinehead,

216
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:22.480

217
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.320

220
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.320
she helped make this entire music scene, this incredible, beautiful

221
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.639
community that lives here at bloodstock Man. She helped make

222
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:40.080
it so. Ladies and gentlemen, please make some noise from

223
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:41.879
Michelle Kerr.
