Here's your host, the white Man.

7
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.200
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

8
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.840
Man W four c Y Radio. And I'm really excited

9
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.719
about our next guests because they have a book that

10
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.200
is really like to me, it's like a history book.

11
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.840
It's it's it's a it's very very cool Incidance second edition.

12
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.120
We're going to talk about it. So let's let's welcome

13
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:42.799
to the show. Dan and Dave. How are you?

14
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:45.760
Hey, how's it going? Hello?

15
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:52.799
So this, uh, this book was off the shelf. Basically

16
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.439
I have print for like five years and now we're

17
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.120
having another edition of it. Tell us how that came

18
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:03.120
about that this keeps evolving over all the years.

19
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.560
Well, the main reason for a second edition was really

20
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.560
due to a lack of availability of the first edition.

21
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.719
There was a specific amount made up. They sold out

22
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.719
by about twenty nineteen because it was originally released in

23
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.439
twenty fourteen, and then it was just a few years

24
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.080
of Hey, dude, where can I get your book? Now

25
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:26.879
you can, Hey, dude, where can I get your book?

26
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.599
And then Dave and I and of course my wife

27
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.759
Heather has been very helpful with all this. You know,

28
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.159
just the original publisher wasn't There was an original publisher

29
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.479
who was going to do it, which was handshake, and

30
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:44.039
then Brazilian Points took over for reasons left unexplained and

31
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.039
put it out, but they were not going to be

32
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.159
doing interested in pressing anymore. So we ended up, after

33
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.719
talking to a few publishers, just saying fuck it and

34
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:02.400
doing it ourselves. And we just decided to have it

35
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.759
coincide with my sixtieth birthday, which was last week, because

36
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:10.000
the original edition came out on my fiftieth birthday. That's cool,

37
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.280
so the second As far as like what makes the

38
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.520
second edition different, there would be the forward by Thomas

39
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:19.639
Lindberg from at the Gates, and then there's a new

40
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.800
color photo picture area in the back with some pretty

41
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.560
recent stuff, stuff that I've even done this year. But

42
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.840
I probably answered like four questions like that, so sorry.

43
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.680
Oh that's perfect, and yeah, so are some of the

44
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:40.240
pictures in there from this year at say Sonic Temple

45
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:41.919
or Welcome to Rockville.

46
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.280
No, they're The only picture from the Anthrax stuff was

47
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.080
when I played with them in Santiago, Chile the month

48
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.319
before that, but that is in there.

49
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.240
And what was it like after like forty years to

50
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:58.800
get back together and play like that.

51
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.159
It was pretty cool. It was unexpected when I was

52
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.280
first contacted by Scott, but Frank couldn't do some shows,

53
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.039
and the majority of it was in Latin America, you know,

54
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.360
from Mexico on down, and then those two shows that

55
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.960
you mentioned, And yeah, it was just a lot of

56
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.800
fun playing some stuff I'd heard a million times but

57
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.920
never actually played. And obviously, you know, I played with

58
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.399
Scott and Charlie before in another bands. But getting to

59
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.759
know Joe and John Johnson Ad the guitar player, the

60
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:29.879
guy from Shadows Falls, but with them for ten years

61
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.319
was great, you know, made some new friends like that,

62
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:35.319
and yeah, it was a good time. Got to go

63
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.879
to some cool places like Ecuador and Costa Rica I've

64
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:38.800
never been to before.

65
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.680
Yeah. See that's his shirt right here is it has

66
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.040
a picture of a sloth and it says just do

67
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.639
it later, and it's it's I go to Costa Rica

68
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:54.879
all the time. So oh oh, same same with the hat.

69
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.279
See it says Costa Rica, So that's pretty funny. Yeah,

70
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.639
it was great. I saw you guys played in sany

71
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.519
you played in San Jose, so that was pretty cool

72
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.000
because it's not often that metal plays in Costa Rica.

73
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.279
Yeah, those people like nuts. That was a club show

74
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.800
and it was hot as balls, but really fun.

75
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.680
It would be there, right yeah.

76
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:24.319
I mean that's tropical, dude. There's you know, walk out

77
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.600
of the hotel in the evening to go burn one

78
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.120
and it's at dusk and all the birds. It was

79
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.480
so loud. I was just like, what the fuck's going on?

80
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.399
Recorded it on my phone. It's just like squawking at

81
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:37.639
like ninety decibels.

82
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.839
And you know, how about the Howler monkeys. Did you

83
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.120
hear the Howler monkeys?

84
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.439
I don't think I did, but I was told about them.

85
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:52.240
Yeah, they're a trip. So Dave, tell us a little

86
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:57.240
bit about your experiences writing the book, and you know

87
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.000
how it felt to put this kind of history out there.

88
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:07.040
Oh, I mean the experience was great.

89
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:11.959
I mean Dan is somebody that I admired from a distance,

90
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:16.519
you know, for many years, and randomly would kind of

91
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:21.160
see him here and there. The one fun story is

92
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.160
how my wife is from the Pittsburgh area and one

93
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.879
time I was out there visiting her and we were

94
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:33.519
went to a show a Nate Palm Death, Cannibal Corpse,

95
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:39.519
Macabre somebody else maybe probably, and Dan and his wife

96
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.959
were just there randomly. I didn't approach him at the time,

97
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.759
but I just remember thinking like, oh fuck, like what

98
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:46.839
is he doing here?

99
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:47.600
That's cool?

100
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.720
And you know, I loved SOD and Brutal Truth, and

101
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.839
then eventually had the opportunity to go on tour with

102
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.360
Brutal Truth when they got back together in seven and

103
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.240
then again an eight, which is when the idea for

104
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:08.120
the book first came about. So it was very surreal

105
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.680
getting to meet him and just kind of hang out

106
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.600
and spend time with him and have a laugh and

107
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.600
have a beer and just kind of hang out. In

108
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:23.360
terms of putting his story out there, I mean, I

109
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.439
feel honored to be the one to do that, because

110
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.680
again I'm a great admirer of his work and now

111
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.439
him as a person that I know him actually, and

112
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.560
so I took it very seriously despite having a laugh

113
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:39.720
a lot of the time with him, because you know,

114
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.360
I want to take it too seriously because he's very funny.

115
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:48.120
But yeah, I mean, you know, that's not every day

116
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:52.120
you get to do a project like this, And I

117
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.759
didn't want to half asset nor did I want to

118
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.720
make a joke of it, because his career is incredible

119
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.959
and very important. So yeah, news, I guess not to

120
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.040
like overstate it, but I consider it to be an honor.

121
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.120
To have been the one to be able to do that.

122
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.720
And it's pretty cool because unlike nowadays, there was really

123
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.240
no record of things and stories from back in the

124
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:25.279
day either, you know, like now, everybody records everything that happens.

125
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.519
Lucky for us, in the eighties, most of his stuff

126
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:29.879
was not recorded, right.

127
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.799
Well, yeah, I mean everybody's I mean, shit, you play

128
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:40.240
a show in the first three rows, everybody's recording a

129
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:44.879
show with their phone and barely watching the bed. I know, right, Yeah,

130
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.080
it's a little overdocumentation. But I know what you mean,

131
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.600
because if a band started now, they'd be able to have, like,

132
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:58.200
be very easy to capture their whole career, whereas back

133
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.519
in the day, you know, what did you have? I mean,

134
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.759
if you wanted to see a video now of Nuclear

135
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.840
Sault playing a little more in nineteen eighty five, it

136
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.440
would be some grainy VHS you know, hundredth generation you know,

137
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:16.919
VCR type tape and everything. No, no, yeah, but that's

138
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.159
what also made it classic. Yeah, I mean like having

139
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:21.679
a classic car or something. You know.

140
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.960
I don't know, but well it was classic like that

141
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:27.480
because back then, even with music, you went to a

142
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.840
show because you didn't even know if it was going

143
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.799
to be something you liked. You just saw something that

144
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.399
was like, oh, this is cool, I'm going to go

145
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.399
to the show. You didn't have a way to preview it.

146
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.080
You just went, well, yeah, that's like how you bought

147
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:41.759
records too.

148
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.000
When I got into hardcore, I just tried to buy

149
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.840
records with like if the bands had at least twenty

150
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.720
songs on the record, I'm like, oh, hey, this is

151
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:54.559
probably good. And that only failed once they were called

152
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.399
TMA and the record was called What's for Dinner and

153
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:01.600
they had twenty pop punk songs on it, and I said, verily,

154
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:02.440
I have aired.

155
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:08.519
I just want to go back to the thing you

156
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.000
talked about it being kind of like a history book.

157
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.159
One thing that like I don't think anybody but me

158
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.600
cares about is that I don't know. I have always

159
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.399
loved I work in a research center. Now, I've always

160
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.480
loved that kind of like when I was in school

161
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.039
writing a research paper as like a project that was

162
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.720
my safe, comfortable place I could I love doing research,

163
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.279
and so I pretty much well didn't have to insist

164
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.840
to anybody else. But I was determined to have an

165
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.679
index in the book because I really like the idea

166
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.600
of somebody and god knows how many years writing a

167
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.240
book on death metal and they can look in the

168
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.519
back of this book and go to the d's and see, oh,

169
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.559
death metal is mentioned on this, that and the other page,

170
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:01.799
and they can use it as like a source material

171
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.240
for whatever paper or book that they're working on. I

172
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.600
hope that someday, before I die, I can see this

173
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.600
book cited in another paper or book.

174
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:16.039
That would just like warm my heart to no extent.

175
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.000
That would be cool. And I did notice the index.

176
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.639
I was like, Wow, that is pretty cool, and especially

177
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.399
for the reason that you're saying, and you could kind

178
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.240
of use it to go through and look for different

179
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.720
things that you want to look for. And then it's

180
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:36.000
funny that you mentioned about citing it because I had

181
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:40.679
a history class in high school back in the eighties

182
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.200
and the only thing I had to do was an

183
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.240
oral presentation for the whole semester, and I chose to

184
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:53.320
write about Ozzy Osbourne. Cool And I got an A

185
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.519
in my history class for talking about Ozzie.

186
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:57.159
You know.

187
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.960
Yeah, well, I mean if that's you're right about things

188
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.399
that you're passionate about, and that would have made sense.

189
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:09.960
So no doubt, no doubt. And so, Dave, what would

190
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:14.000
be one of your favorite stories of either from the

191
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:19.039
book or from all this time of putting the book together.

192
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.279
Well, there was like one thing that happened that is

193
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.360
not in the book, but just kind of like between

194
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:32.279
Danny and I when we were doing interviews that stuck

195
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:37.240
out to me as a drummer at the time. Gosh,

196
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.840
I guess it was probably like Danny's black metal band,

197
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:44.080
Nocturnal Hellstorm. We took a break and he played me

198
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.120
a CD of some recordings. We just like went into

199
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.039
his car and listened to them, and.

200
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:52.080
There was like a.

201
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.360
Slower part and the drummer in the band did like

202
00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:00.080
a little like ride symbol, kind of like flourish and

203
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.600
I heard that and said, oh, that's a tasty little

204
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.559
ride cymbal lick there, And Danny looked at me, and

205
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.799
he was like, I was wondering if you would notice that.

206
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:10.039
And I was kind of like, ah, I passed the

207
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:14.799
test on this ride symbol. I don't know whatever.

208
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:16.840
I know it wasn't a test, but I was just like, Oh,

209
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.799
that's fun that we are both kind of like tuned

210
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:24.399
into the same things there. And I also love the

211
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.039
story in the book that Keith Bennett from Wrecking Crew

212
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.320
tells about Dan. You could obviously tell it better, but

213
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.799
it was like, You're wearing some shirt straight edge band

214
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:36.320
that says.

215
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:37.399
Like I don't need your drugs.

216
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:38.080
Oh.

217
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.120
That always tracked me up.

218
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.039
You mean, yeah, Uniform Choice that was the band, Yeah, yeah,

219
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.080
oh yeah. It said on the sleeve it said like

220
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.879
I don't need your drugs. And our joke was that

221
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:57.120
that's because your drugs suck. It's like, I don't need

222
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:02.360
your drugs, I need his. Yeah. And then the other

223
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:06.799
thing was the sleeve. I cut the sleeves off my shirt,

224
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:08.879
so then I just had this little sleeve that said

225
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.200
I don't be your drugs. Like this tube of cloth,

226
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.919
I'm like, I wonder if I could stretch this over

227
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:21.080
my cat so he could be a command Joe. You walked,

228
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.360
he just walked by and glare to you while you're

229
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:25.159
smoking a joint, and that would be on his back.

230
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:25.519
You know.

231
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.879
Ah, that's great, I love it.

232
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.320
You know that would be like contortion. I wouldn't do

233
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:30.759
it to him.

234
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.840
Yeah, yeah, so you know it's I find it interesting too.

235
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.240
I was thinking about this back in the summer because uh,

236
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:44.480
I was that grass pop and I heard perform live

237
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.840
one of the SOD songs but altered a little for

238
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:53.279
twenty twenty four. I'm like, man, would SOD even be

239
00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:56.879
able to be a band in twenty twenty four? Have

240
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:57.720
you thought about that?

241
00:14:59.080 --> 00:14:59.200
Oh?

242
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:03.159
I thought about it, But SOD wouldn't be able to

243
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.799
be a band since two thousand and one because we

244
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:10.519
haven't done any shows since then. And nice, that is

245
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.840
something that's out of my hands. One member of the

246
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.679
band isn't interested in participating, and so that's kind of

247
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:23.519
shot that. But okay, I'm curious who was doing an

248
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.320
s OD song?

249
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:30.759
Oh, that was that grass pop and of course it

250
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:36.720
was mister bungleh And so it's funny because here when

251
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.960
they play the festivals here and played the song, they

252
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.919
say speak Spanish or die.

253
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:44.039
Well, I did the show. I did that with them

254
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:48.159
in Columbus, nice saying on stage with them. So that

255
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.080
was great because I got to play with Dave Lombardo

256
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:50.639
for a song.

257
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.720
I know rights is that? Now? Is that of anybody

258
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.200
that's going to play drums? If it's not going to

259
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:02.440
be the original for that song, it should be Dave?

260
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.480
Right? No? He now did he actually played some of

261
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:11.840
it too fast. I'm like, yeah, so down buddy. So it.

262
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.519
Was funny. I grasp popped. They changed it to speak

263
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.279
Flemish or.

264
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.480
Die that makes sense, you know, stay local.

265
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:29.519
Yeah, so it's pretty cool that you had this come

266
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:36.360
out on your birthday both times. And so what have

267
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:40.240
people been saying now that there's another copy? Like people

268
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:42.120
have been waiting for this for a while, right.

269
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:47.320
Yeah, I think there's people that are psyched because there's

270
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:49.879
a lot of people. It's funny. You'll talk to people

271
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.080
all over the world will go, I'm so glad it's

272
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.720
another copy because you know, I lent it to my

273
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:59.000
friend three years ago and fell out of touch with him,

274
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:01.120
or he moved and got in touch with me again.

275
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:02.679
And now I don't have to fucking book as the

276
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.119
guy has it. So there's a couple's a few people

277
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.519
like that, and then kind of things that are kind

278
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:10.480
of touching, like where I was working at a record

279
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:13.480
store here for a while and this girl would come

280
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.759
in once a year in early June. Once she was

281
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.440
like fourteen, next year she was fifteen, and she would go,

282
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.200
is your book out yet again? And I go no.

283
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:26.880
She goes, shit, my dad's birthday is June fifteenth, and

284
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:29.400
I want to get him one for his birthday. And

285
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:31.480
I go sorry, And then she'd come back. I'd see

286
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:35.720
her three hundred and sixty four days later or something

287
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:40.240
like that, and she's gone, sorry, still not available. So

288
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.480
I'm glad that it's available now. I hope she knows.

289
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.599
But uh, stuff like that just where people have been

290
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:50.839
coming up, you know, puppy dog eyes and now you

291
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:54.839
can say, okay, now it's available. So that's a good feeling.

292
00:17:55.599 --> 00:18:01.079
Absolutely. And So what's your possibly favorite story from either

293
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.480
the book or creating the book?

294
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:07.160
Uh?

295
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:12.039
I think just you know, creating the book with Dave,

296
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:15.640
because it was just really cool. I mean all the

297
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:20.799
stories in the book. I don't really have a particular favorite.

298
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.160
There's a lot of cool stories in there, but just

299
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.079
putting the whole thing together and how we just went

300
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:31.880
about it just as staying motivated but still being lazy

301
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.440
in some aspects, like and still being who we are.

302
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:38.400
And because you know, Dave had never taken on something

303
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.319
of that magnitude, and I've never been the subject of

304
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:48.400
a biography. So I think we managed to pretty much

305
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:50.759
along the lines of the music I've played in my career.

306
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:55.160
Just keep it where it's exactly how it should be,

307
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:57.799
without you know, outside influences and stuff like that.

308
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:05.720
I agree, you know, Yeah, wants to be part of

309
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:06.240
the interview.

310
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:09.640
Yeah, it's feeding time around here now, so.

311
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:18.160
So everybody can get perpetual conversion at perpetualconversion dot com.

312
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.480
Is there anything else that you want to let people

313
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:24.359
know how to reach out to you, connect you on socials,

314
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:28.880
anything about anything of going on?

315
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.960
There is a Facebook for the book itself, but I

316
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:39.400
am not on any social media, just being a lazy

317
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:44.559
and unresponsive that's me. So, Dave, is there anything you

318
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:45.519
want to throw out there?

319
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:49.440
I mean, the Facebook page is just damn litlker book.

320
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.319
And then you already said perpetualconversion dot com. This is

321
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:56.160
like Danny was saying, you know, just like the kind

322
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.599
of spirit of the book to me to make like

323
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.200
a whole Instagram page or a website like for the book.

324
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:05.119
I don't know.

325
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.720
It's kind of like an underground thing. We're not trying

326
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:10.920
to like make it to the best seller list or anything,

327
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:11.880
so there.

328
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:17.960
Is no like, you know, they should tag this, you know,

329
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.720
blah blah, have him write a po have them write

330
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:30.440
a po box or something like like book trading instead

331
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:31.160
of tape trading.

332
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:34.920
Dude, it was enough work, like just getting all.

333
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:38.200
Of like the shipping straight and all of that, and

334
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.240
like setting up the big cartel page to like manage,

335
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:44.839
you know, and like whatever. I have friends and bands

336
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.400
that are like quite successful and have talked to them

337
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.359
about like self managing their Instagram pages and whatever, and

338
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:54.880
it just sounds like a complete fucking nightmare. And for

339
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:58.480
something like this that is just kind of like a

340
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:00.839
dee it well not kind of. It is like a

341
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:04.960
DIY project. It started as just like a labor of love.

342
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:09.799
It's like just we don't want to try too hard.

343
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.119
I think it should not be that way anyway. Like

344
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:16.720
you said, it's like an underground type of thing, so

345
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:19.359
it should kind of stay that way. I think it's

346
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:19.960
kind of cool.

347
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.559
Well, it's also that whole thing with Instagram and all that.

348
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:28.559
That's more for something that would just have current relevant updates. Now,

349
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:33.119
sure we could really push the envelope with that and

350
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:35.279
be like, all right, now, there's only you know, three

351
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:38.079
hundred and seventy one books left as you go today,

352
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.920
there's not enough that would constantly feed that where somebody

353
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:46.400
there there would be nothing different, you know. Yeah, book

354
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.440
or book goes out and gets an ice cream cone.

355
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:50.880
You know, it's like Facebook shit.

356
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:53.880
And there's limited copies, so people just have to go

357
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:57.680
to Purple Perpetualconversion dot com and just get their copy

358
00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:58.519
before they're gone.

359
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:00.559
Yeah, five, I heard of them.

360
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:02.880
If we had an Instagram page, it would end up

361
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:05.400
having two posts on it, which would be the book

362
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:08.640
is out and then X amount of time later the

363
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.680
book is sold out, and that would be the entire page.

364
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:13.039
Probably there it.

365
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:18.200
Is, all right, Well, guys, it's incredible that you put

366
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:21.119

00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:24.000
