With Mitch Less. Oh Carls Fade.

6
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:34.920
Nice you're an incarceration, Like, thanks for coming to prison.

7
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.560
It's I'm a person. Last time I hope in prison.

8
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.240
Well yeah, well I don't know. I like coming to

9
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.479
this prison. Every year, fucking Shawshank Prison. Out Iconic Is

10
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.200
had to perform at Shawshank Prison.

11
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:50.600
It was incredible being here.

12
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.079
I will say the prison might have halted our gear

13
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.200
because it was all broken. We had no inner monitors,

14
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:01.200
no anything to change our patches and other was stuff

15
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:02.399
going on, but it was still a.

16
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.119
Blasket out there.

17
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:05.719
But we had to kill unfortunately half of our set

18
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:07.120
with all the timing.

19
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.799
Which inmates did you piss off? Mitch?

20
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.079
Sure, the one that did it, So you have to

21
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.359
answer that one. A little angel right here.

22
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.480
Because you know this it really is haunted for real.

23
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.319
I know. Yeah, we're taking a tour today.

24
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.400
Actually yeah, you won't know whether it's to get characters

25
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:24.840
or it's.

26
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.599
A real ghost. Right when you go through it, and

27
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:29.079
then it's a fucking killer tour.

28
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.480
Twice I heard that you guys kicked asst So tell

29
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.439
our listeners who have never heard you guys or seen

30
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.120
you live, what they can expect from your live show

31
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:43.280
and how you had the artists describe your music well.

32
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.359
Barring today from all of this explanation, typically is the

33
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.319
great lap show. Lots of loud vocals, lots of cool

34
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.120
things on stage going on, and a lot of reminiscing.

35
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:55.560
Every time we go to a show now to play

36
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.719
it's the old forty year old dude and his fourteen

37
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.359
year old son at the show who was not even

38
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.439
considered when our songs came out to begin with. It's

39
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.080
fun to see the dynamics of I'm going to see

40
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.800
what dad loves and then them falling in love with

41
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.840
it too. So it's a it's really cool thing to

42
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.240
see still seeing some of the same people we saw

43
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.039
since four showing up at our shows. It's really cool, man,

44
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.039
and we're just thrilled to be back out at it.

45
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.960
And I love that about today this world.

46
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.159
Like in the eighties when I was going to metal shows,

47
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.319
you didn't see people my age or your age at

48
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.719
the shows nor in the bands.

49
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:36.439
Like it blows my mind when I.

50
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.280
Go out there under these kids that are going to

51
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:45.159
shows for bands that are like forties, fifties, sixties or

52
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.560
like you look at back to the beginning and all

53
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.879
the kids out in the crowd for Ozzy. I mean, like,

54
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.360
I think it's a fucking phenomenal thing.

55
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.280
Yeah, so it seems to be a revival.

56
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.159
A lot of early two thousand bands are kind of

57
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.039
crushing it right now. I know we're all here for

58
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.919
it because we're right there with them.

59
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:01.479
You know.

60
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.800
I think that's what the difference is, what you were

61
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:08.199
describing before. Like when I was a teenager, my dad

62
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.360
listened like Frank Sinatra or whatever, and he didn't understand

63
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:13.520
my music at.

64
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:14.439
All, you know.

65
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.759
But now it's like the adults that are listening to

66
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.599
the shit and then the kids are like brought into it.

67
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:23.719
And I love that.

68
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.960
Yeah, Yeah, there's a yeah, there's a thing with music

69
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:28.919
and a period. All of us kind of grew up

70
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.840
on that early nineties crune sound and it kind of

71
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.639
shaped this band for sure, And I think it's always

72
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.080
going to be like that, just looking back and thinking

73
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.919
about all the other bands that kind of inspired you,

74
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.120
and hopefully we're still one of those bands for all

75
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:45.840
these new generation of Shredders growing up right now.

76
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.080
I think you are because when I talk to a

77
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.919
young man's they're always talking about the older bands, not

78
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.280
their contemporaries or just above them. It's like they're talking

79
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.719
about the eighties nineties bands, you know.

80
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.840
So what's now after incarceration? Well?

81
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.639
I never know that, So I asked today and I

82
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.080
was told one thing, but they answered a different question

83
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:10.159
that I did not ask.

84
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:15.599
So is it louder? Oh, louder than life? It's gonna

85
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:16.600
louder than light.

86
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.519
Yeah, see, I'll be down too, were cancer.

87
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.680
We're actually playing Minnesota next week with Seven Dusts.

88
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:25.279
For a festival up there.

89
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:26.199
Very cool.

90
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.279
And then then louder than life, right, louder than life?

91
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.519
Yeah, it's louder than life Louisville.

92
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.920
Yes, it's a great fucking festival and another Danny Wimmer festival.

93
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.639
Now that's why why I ask you. I asked all.

94
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:45.040
Artists, how does Danny Wimmer treat you guys as artists?

95
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:46.120
Awesome? Danny's the man.

96
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.040
He's been great to us this entire time. Just putting

97
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.959
us on the bill is awesome. Just for us to

98
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.720
get out here for these shows to be the first

99
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:02.079
reunion comeback is amazing, is incredible experience. He definitely has

100
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.720
hooked us up. So it's been awesome.

101
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.279
And it did blow your mind that you're out there

102
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.600
and there's this like sea of fucking people, especially it's

103
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.439
earlier in the day, and it's like, you don't expect that.

104
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:14.360
I didn't expect that.

105
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.000
I didn't think people would be out of the parking

106
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.519
lot or bed at that hour, you know, right first

107
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.279
when we did, there's probably thirty thousand people out there. Wow,

108
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.000
first show in twelve and a half thirteen years.

109
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.160
Does that blow your fucking mind? Or what? I love it?

110
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.360
It kind of confirms too why you should be back

111
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.879
right you know, and it makes you want to do

112
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.600
it more because you are unsure when you come back

113
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:42.160
after that long of a hiatus, like anybody even care anymore,

114
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.480
