One of my favorite. As you my listeners know, I

12
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.120
go to festivals all over the world and this one's

13
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:20.480
one of my favorites. And so h man, I'm sorry.

14
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:22.840
I'm gonna miss it though, because my daughter's getting married.

15
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:24.879
But you guys need to.

16
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.239
Go to Bloodstock and you need to see this band

00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.879
right here. So let's welcome to a show. Death Collector.

18
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:30.359
How are you.

19
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.439
We're doing well? We all doing well.

20
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.400
I think the real reason I'm not going is cause

21
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.239
I don't know if I'm ready for death yet.

22
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.280
So uh, I'm staying away.

23
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.040
Yeah, we're not. We're not we're not currently taking collections.

24
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.120
So you're okay, oh okay good.

25
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.959
I feel like maybe it's like you know, uh, you

26
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.640
going to Bloodstock would be like being in church and

27
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.040
they're passing and played around except their collect in your souls.

28
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.719
Yeah yeah, it's like a chalice like full of just

29
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.519
like individual souls, you know, everyone just has one, you know.

30
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.680
Yeah, there you go. So tell us how this road

31
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:14.280
to Bloodstock started.

32
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.080
Oh well you can the how did the death collect

33
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:20.479
to stop?

34
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.039
How did you collect your starter? How did we end

35
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.560
up playing a Bloodstock? Which is a question you could.

36
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.280
Do either one mine with how you were getting the bloodstock,

37
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.560
but you can tell them anything you want.

38
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.120
Okay, Bloodstock. We were invited to play, so we were asked

39
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.319
if we went to the slot in the Sophie stage,

40
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.280
So we said, yeah, go for notting to lose. You mean,

41
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.960
it's great to play Bloodstock. Insane lineup every year, Yeah,

42
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.240
like this year, like you've got like day Side, You've

43
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.840
got Carcass. Got to say this, tons of bands that

44
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.800
I would have grown up listening to, like they're playing

45
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.879
at it like as well. So I'm really looking forward

46
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.800
to it this year, like and I'm delighted like that

47
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.599
we were asked to play it, especially in this Olfie stage.

48
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:01.639
Is what the second stage?

49
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:02.120
Do?

50
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:02.319
You know?

51
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.120
It's the great Spoctor's always a good turnout as well. Likes,

52
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.159
so really really really looking forward to this.

53
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.879
I love that stage and the concept of it too,

54
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.479
you know, oh yeah, because not many I've been talking

55
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.000
a lot about this because not many people outside the

56
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.639
UK are aware of what Bloodstock does and what that

57
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:30.639
Sophie Lancaster stage means. And you know, it's terrible what happened,

58
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.919
and it's amazing what Bloodstock does to support it and

59
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:41.919
keep that alive because you know, metal heads, punks, goths,

60
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.560
whoever we are, you know what, we're just people and

61
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.400
you know, we go through lie crap and it's really

62
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:55.120
unfortunate happened to Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend and going home,

63
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.240
just going home from a gig, and just because you're

64
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:04.680
a goth you get to death. Like I just don't

65
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.599
know what's wrong with the world. That is the reason

66
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:13.360
that would happen. But I love the fact that Bloodstock

67
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.040
makes so much awareness to it, has a stage decade

68
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.040
to it, and now you guys are playing on that

69
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:21.360
stage and that's yeah.

70
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:22.680
It's no small thing.

71
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.319
It's it's also as well because Sophie Lancaster's mother passed

72
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.160
away recently, like a few years ago, so like you know,

73
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.079
so in a way like the stage will keep that

74
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.199
memory going. I don't think they're ever going to change

75
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:35.759
the name of it. I don't think they ever could.

76
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.879
But it's not of like like Sophie Lancaster's. It wasn't

77
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.759
a unique experience. It happens to alternative people from school

78
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:46.240
all the way through to adulthood.

79
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.360
Even now, I still get shouted.

80
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.639
At by you know, not like normal people just shout

81
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:52.839
goth at you, and it's.

82
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.439
Just like, yeah right.

83
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.879
But it wasn't for places like Bloodstock spreading that awareness,

84
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.319
it wouldn't have reached places like you in America, it

85
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.240
wouldn't have reached another place around the world. And that's solidarity.

86
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.439
We all feel it, like, you know, no one should

87
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.639
ever have that done to them for no reason, like

88
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:10.800
no good reason.

89
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.279
No no actual ethical or moral reason to do that anyway.

90
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.519
But you know, it's just it's one of those things

91
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.959
that unites most people who are on this subject of

92
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.279
the like outside culture, subcultures.

93
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.519
You know, it just it is what it is. But

94
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:27.480
bluzz circ will give their credit like that.

95
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:29.920
If it wasn't for them spreading the awareness that they are,

96
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.439
I do think it would get forgotten about, and it

97
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.720
would be a thing that is spoken about only through

98
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:36.199
people like.

99
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.879
Us exactly, and people that know are living in the area,

100
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.959
and you know, we all have probably dealt with it

101
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.480
at some point or another. Oh yeah, I unfortunately dealt

102
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.600
with it with cups when I was a teenager.

103
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:49.959
You know.

104
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.600
Yeah, that's classical, that isn't it, right?

105
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.279
Like, and they're the ones they are supposed to be

106
00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.639
set in the example. So I think we ourselves set

107
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.319
the example. And that's what's great about Bloodsteck and and

108
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:10.560
and bands like you. Absolutely So tell the listeners who

109
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.160
have never heard your music before, how you guys would

110
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.000
describe your music not by a genre, because I hate

111
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:22.240
that crack like boxing and artists into you can only

112
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.839
play this music, you know, because I think artists they

113
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:27.920
have their own idea what their music is, and that's

114
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:28.720
what I want to hear.

115
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:29.160
Yeah.

116
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.279
Like, like as Mick said before, like to me, like

117
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.240
we're kind of an attitude, like we are an old

118
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.319
school kind of feel in regards of raw, unadulter and

119
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.240
straight to the point, like in your face, like this

120
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.720
is the music, this is what we're doing, This is

121
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:45.319
our message.

122
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.680
No bells and whistles. It's purely raw, unadulterated and heaviness.

123
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:50.439
Uh.

124
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.199
We get coined into old school death metal because we

125
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.160
have a lot of signatures that are considered to be that.

126
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.360
But even then that's purely just for p pools like familiarity,

127
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.879
like oh I like that.

128
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:02.399
But.

129
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:06.120
Personally diverse though.

130
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.800
Yeah, personally I hate the term old school death metal. Yeah,

131
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:13.519
death metal is death metal. That's it. It's just so

132
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.920
happens where all guys playing it, so it's the real.

133
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.439
Deal, you know.

134
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.000
Yeah, as an old school metal head, I agree with

135
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.279
you because it's like we as old school people. The

136
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.680
new death metal people are like, oh well that wasn't

137
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.480
really death metal. We're death metal now, and it's like, okay,

138
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:35.199
I think it's all.

139
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:36.480
It's all metal to me.

140
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.040
Yeah, the guy come from the school of like, like

141
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.959
my introduction to death metal would have been you know,

142
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.399
like the compilation albums you know, like road Runner would

143
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.199
have released, not like a death Door that would have

144
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.360
had like say this ones the side Obituarry Welse ex

145
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.480
order would have been honest and like it's called a

146
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.519
death door. So my assumption is like an or twelve

147
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.199
year old at the time was thinking, oh, this is

148
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.120
what death metal sounds like. You know, So anything that

149
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.240
basically had a road racer logo, I just bought it

150
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.199
and tied it was death metal, even though like it's nice,

151
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:14.040
it could be trash, it's faster like likes order, but

152
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.680
like they had hatred and anger and attitude in their

153
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.319
lyrics and into the music, which align is with death

154
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.120
metal anyway. So it's it's all about the attitude more

155
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.319
than anything else. Like I think debt metal kind of

156
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.519
devolved into like gymnastics, like going who can tread as

157
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:31.240
fast as can?

158
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:31.759
Who?

159
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.279
Yeah, last as fast as can At the end of

160
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.159
the day, it's about writing catchy riffs that people can

161
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.639
get behind, like three or four in his and that's it.

162
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.799
Yeah, I mean, like death perfect example, he didn't write

163
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.840
ridiculously complex things. He wrote what kind of sounded good

164
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.519
to him, and then everyone went, ah, let's do that

165
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.840
but more right. And I think that kind of technicality

166
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.120
that like that's specifically nailed was perfect. And then after

167
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.159
that it does get a little bit like the fastest competition,

168
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.440
the noodlelist competition loses a bit, you know, it's a

169
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:05.840
bit like.

170
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:08.559
All right, I laughed too, because I remember me and

171
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:13.200
my friends in the eighties like going the faster the better,

172
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.799
every ding it's fast and it's funny. Me and my

173
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.480
best bro who passed away in September, we were we

174
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.919
were driving up to a festival a couple of years ago,

175
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.399
and we were listening to some of our old school

176
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.080
bands and he turns to me, he's like, I don't know,

177
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.679
I remember this being faster one of them. We were

178
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.639
listening to his Venom okay, and he's like, I remember

179
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.159
this being faster. I'm like yeah, because then it was

180
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.799
the fastest, you know. But here, let me play something

181
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:48.720
for you now, And that's true. My first introduction to

182
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.559
death metal was was you guys are going to love

183
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:58.559
This was the first ever crossover show where punks and

184
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.080
metal heads could be in the s room. Like, because

185
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.480
I was a metal head, had long hair, I couldn't

186
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:06.559
go to punk shows.

187
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:10.159
I got my ass beat vice versa. So this was

188
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:10.799
the first one.

189
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.399
It was at this place called the Sun Valley Sportsman's Lodge.

190
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.240
It was like an Elks lodge, okay.

191
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:22.440
Yeah yeah, And so on the punk side, it was

192
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.840
coc pre pepper cool, it was suicidal pre crossover.

193
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.639
Yes, nice and it was the Descendants, okay.

194
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.480
And then on the metal side was this span Savage Grace,

195
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.600
who just came out with a new album after.

196
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.960
Like forty years. Yeah, it's under cover.

197
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:44.440
Is this?

198
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.120
It's the band actually have the album right near me.

199
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:53.240
They they had this I think the one with that

200
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.759
on the cover. I'm thinking of Sodom when I think

201
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:56.159
of that.

202
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:57.080
Okay.

203
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:01.879
Uh, this band had like their first album was a Dominatrix,

204
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.519
so they had a Dominatrix on the cover. A hot

205
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:10.879
metal check and then and they toured with Motorhead and

206
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:15.720
stuff like that. And then there was also Dark Angel

207
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.279
yes yep, and wait for it, this was my introduction

208
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:21.120
death metal.

209
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.080
Possessed oh yes, yes yeah.

210
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:30.120
And after that that was in LA, and Possessed and

211
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.320
Dark Angel were both from the Bay Area. And then

212
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.399
you know, I was at the first Slayer show ever,

213
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.639
the first Metallica show ever, and they left LA and

214
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.320
went to the Bay Area. So after that show, me

215
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.799
and my bro used to hitchhike up to the Bay

216
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:47.600
Area from LA and go to Possessed shows because we

217
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:53.320
were like, oh my god, this is the fastest, heaviest, loudest,

218
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.080
most evil music there is.

219
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.840
First time it was you know, nothing that was really

220
00:11:58.960 --> 00:11:59.879
quite compared to it.

221
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:04.320
Now, that's Seven Churches album is absolutely super influential. If

222
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:05.960
you ask me, it's the first step metal aum. I

223
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:09.559
know people say Screen Bloodygore, I'd say Seven Churches.

224
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.519
And we believe that was the first death metal album then, yeah,

225
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:17.279
for sure. And they weren't caring about the technicality so much.

226
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.759
It was again like you said, how fast, how great

227
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:25.360
the riffs like the song The Exorcist, The riffs in

228
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.279
that is just like to me, one of the best

229
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.000
riffs ever in any song ever.

230
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:32.679
Yeah.

231
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:40.440
So, so tell us what we can expect from a

232
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:45.759
live show from Death Collector at Bloodstock or anywhere else.

233
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:54.879
Lee, all right, fine, Like I'll try to include you man,

234
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:59.320
I'm like, ok, yeah, all right. So from a life experience,

235
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.320
it's going to be is the word I'll use that

236
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.000
will cover it all is that I love that we

237
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.480
we're going to go up there with no pretense, no

238
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.320
over the top like anal precision and over professionalism. We're

239
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:10.799
going to do our jobs. We're going to play the

240
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.720
music we love and we're going to do our best performance.

241
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.480
But we're not going to be focusing so much on

242
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.519
ourselves in that regard, We're going to be looking at

243
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.480
the audience trying to get them moving, and it's all

244
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.799
about that kind of energy and attitude. And I want

245
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:25.320
we want to be infectious on stage. I want everyone

246
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:26.799
to be having such a good time with us, because

247
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.559
I know I'll be. I know these guys are going

248
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.519
to be. It's going to be a great show. I'm

249
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:32.120
so excited.

250
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.320
That's what music it's all about, right there. Yeah.

251
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.679
Yeah, too many bands get too caught up in their

252
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.559
own ego on stage. It's ridiculous.

253
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.440
You know, something goes wrong and they're having hissy fits

254
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:44.679
and it's like it's not perfect, and I'm like, yeah,

255
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.360
that's life.

256
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:49.639
We talked about that back in the media in the

257
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.440
press tent, because you know, we see what goes on

258
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.840
and hear what goes on, and it's like a private

259
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:59.360
thing we talk about, not a public thing. But yeah,

260
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.240
there's certain bands you can just tell they're getting up there,

261
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.919
they're just going through the motions. They don't even like

262
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:10.559
each other, you know. And then there's those other bands

263
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.559
that just get up and they're just being real, like

264
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:19.159
you said, genuine but having fun, yeah, and feeding off

265
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.559
the crowd because that's what it's about.

266
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:22.799
You know. It's like.

267
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.279
You as the artists up there, you have that crowd

268
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.440
to feed off of. That was one of those things

269
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:34.120
during the pandemic. I was like, man, how are bands

270
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:39.919
doing these live stream concerts because I don't know.

271
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:40.960
If I could do that.

272
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.320
So well, it's just more like a practice instead of

273
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:45.120
a live show.

274
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:47.759
It feels like that, to be honest with you, Like

275
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:51.159
I did a few live stream gigs throughout the pandemic

276
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:55.480
with my band is sella Cult and another band that

277
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:59.080
it's being called Brigandiata or Doom Bands Bust. The way

278
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:02.360
to these live streams were set up, there was three

279
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.440
bands playing on the bill, so we still had each

280
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:07.639
other to kind of hang out with or whatever, like

281
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:09.480
have our own kind of party going on, and we'd

282
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.399
play anyway. And the people that were recording it, they

283
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:14.879
were like you could see the screen. You can see

284
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.120
all the comments coming up in us, you know, as

285
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:21.080
bans were playing, and there was like donations being taken,

286
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:23.919
like there were the money any proceeds was that was

287
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.600
raised was like donated to local charities and things like that.

288
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:31.840
So it was for yeah, yeah, yeah, so and it

289
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.759
was good to see like guys that work work in

290
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:36.879
that industry who were completely shut down for two years,

291
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:38.879
that had nothing to do, They're able to get back

292
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.360
into an environment where they could set up like lighting rigs,

293
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:45.279
camera rigs, guys that were involved in say like front

294
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:46.840
of house doing the audio as well. Like they were

295
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.080
back doing what they loved, you know. So it was good.

296
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.159
It was it was a necessary evil at the time.

297
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.039
Like I can understand why a lot of bands won't

298
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:57.120
do it either, like because they're not getting the interaction

299
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.799
from an audience, you know. Yeah, but there was like

300
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.879
people there that were working on it, so we could

301
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:05.519
see their expressions knowing.

302
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.759
Well, see that's cool, that's cool to hear that, because

303
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:10.720
at least you have somebody, because if you were playing

304
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.919
to nobody, you know, yeah, you're pros, you're gonna do it.

305
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.320
But it's not the same for you. It's not the same.

306
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:18.759
Yeah.

307
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:21.399
There was some really good live performances that I saw.

308
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.240
I think it was that Trivium did some really good

309
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.840
ones and some of the bands did some high quality.

310
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:32.159
Ones Cause of Death, yeah, which is really cool.

311
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:35.200
And it was also the first time those bands actually

312
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:37.799
got time to rest for a bit, you know what.

313
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.759
I mean funny you say that, because that was something

314
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:42.519
else I was going to talk about here, and I've

315
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.480
talked about a lot. Okay, so you guys are basically

316
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:50.879
a lockdown project that sprang into being a band. And

317
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.320
that goes along with what I've been saying all along

318
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.080
is if you were to take one positive out of

319
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.840
that lockdown, is that bands and musicians that were on

320
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:02.559
the hamster wheel for so long where you don't even

321
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:04.599
have a chance to think of if you even want

322
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:06.640
to be doing it the way you're doing it, because

323
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.640
like gig, the gig, the gig, right, write an album

324
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.119
on the tour bus to the gig, and like all

325
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.759
the creativity and the fun is kind of gone. That

326
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:20.519
I think the lockdown caused artists to be able to

327
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:24.799
reanalyze how they wanted their music career to be what

328
00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:27.319
they wanted to be and get creative again, get that

329
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.720
creative spark that got them into music to begin with.

330
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:36.000
Definitely, for us it was just why not kind of

331
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.400
moment we were like, well, we've got these tracks, might

332
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:38.880
as well do it?

333
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:39.640
Yeah, go on.

334
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:43.200
Then that's that's how De Collector came to be in

335
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:45.359
the first place. It was it was it was out

336
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.759
of boredom during lockdown. Yeah yeah, yeah, I'd met Andy

337
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.440
before before the pandemic and we win a couple of

338
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.640
gigs with Memoriam while he was Dill with Memoriam, and

339
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.039
I kept in touch with Andy then afterwards and then

340
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.480
should the pandemic happens, and I've seen Andy had a

341
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:04.359
post on Facebook saying like he was thinking of doing

342
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.680
like these kind of online covers if anyone was interested

343
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:09.920
though to hit him up. So I shot him a

344
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:11.680
message and said, hey, man, I said I want I

345
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:13.880
went to play guitar. I'd be more than happy to

346
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:15.319
do it. Like so he came back to me. Then

347
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.799
he goes, okay, he goes the thirty year anniversary ball

348
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:20.519
Throw or war Master, he goes, want to do a

349
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:23.359
song from that? Straight away, I'm like going, okay, I'm

350
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.400
getting to play a ball toour song with the drummer

351
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:31.400
from ball Shoer. No pressure, but yeah, So it came

352
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.640
together that way. We did a couple of other covers then,

353
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.119
like we had other musicians in on it as well,

354
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.960
like that played in different songs, Like we had Jason

355
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.359
from Aglac, like he played keys on a battery tune

356
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:44.960
and he played bass, and then Tombs covered that we

357
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.640
did around the time when LG. Petra had passed and

358
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.920
we had Dave Ingram from Benediction doing vocals on a track,

359
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:58.000
with Steve Marher from Abandoning Carnet doing vocals on another track,

360
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.240
and then Guard from the Ark and heeded vocals on

361
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:05.319
the Bold Shore cover. So I was getting totally behind

362
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.759
you looking at doing other covers. So I was kind

363
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:09.519
of take to myself, what will we do next? Might

364
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.799
do a song from maybe Autopsis, Severed Survival, or maybe

365
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:14.920
something from Death Screen, Bloody Go or something. So I

366
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:16.720
said it to Andy as I going, how would you

367
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.200
feel about doing another cover? And he goes, look, he goes,

368
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:20.880
the covers are fun and all that. He goes, how'd

369
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.200
you feel about doing original music? So? Sure is it?

370
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:25.799
Why not? Let's try it?

371
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:26.640
Why not?

372
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:31.599
So wrote We wrote the three songs that were on

373
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:34.400
the times up BP, and we were continuing to work

374
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:36.480
and other stuff as well at the same time. So

375
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.079
Kieran and Leading came on board like after myself and

376
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.200
Andy had the songs written, and then we decided to

377
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:45.000
record them then and release them. And then it just

378
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.799
fucking grew Legs. Then after that and took Afflict you know,

379
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:49.759
oh yeah.

380
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.519
Yeah, And that goes right along with what I'm saying.

381
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.519
It's like I've said all along that some of the

382
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:59.039
best music ever. We look forward twenty thirty years, we'll

383
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:02.920
come o that line. Do you know, the Lockdown itself sucked?

384
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:05.720
But if you're going to look at what good came

385
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:08.319
of it, And here's an example, like, if it weren't

386
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:12.759
for that Lockdown, would Death Collector be playing that Bloodstock.

387
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:15.880
It probably wouldn't exist at.

388
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:21.000
All, exactly exactly. So that's badass in and of itself.

389
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:24.160
So how do we tell people how to reach out

390
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:27.000
to you guys on socials? Check out your merch, check

391
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.440
out your tour dates, music, all that good stuff.

392
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:33.400
Right, So the first place you can always find this

393
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:35.799
on is just go to our band camp because a

394
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:38.039
lot of it's all our merchan done from there. But

395
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:42.279
social wise, our link tree is attached to every single

396
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.359
platform we're on, so be it X or Twitter as

397
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.640
you can call it, Facebook or Instagram or link trees

398
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:50.480
there which shall have all like the things that we

399
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:52.519
got coming up and whatever else would be on there

400
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:52.920
as well.

401
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:55.319
And also our ePK is on there as well.

402
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:59.839
If anyone's watching, nice and I think we should make

403
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:02.799
a movement to change the name of Twitter again.

404
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:11.480
Let's just call it ex Twitter. That's what I saw.

405
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:12.960
You guys have a TikTok.

406
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:15.000
Yeah, I run that.

407
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:20.119
So tell me either the craziest or most fun TikTok

408
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:21.480
that you've done that.

409
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:27.000
I've done personally, or the band's one. Quite The band's

410
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.839
one is quite straightforward. It's just this gig that live

411
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:36.200
show TikTok itself. The craziest thing that I've done was, oh,

412
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.279
so many things are screaming like a vampire. In one

413
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:41.440
of them, I was running through the house and then

414
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:46.440
the sunlight hits me and I died. I do like

415
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:49.680
little funny little clips videos, like dumb stuff. I do

416
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:51.759
like some like news following things as well. So I

417
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.160
did like a postbark coadera and it got like hundreds

418
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:57.400
of thousands of views, and I've been I've gone viral

419
00:21:57.400 --> 00:21:59.319
a few times on TikTok now, so I've got about

420
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:00.680
fourteen followers.

421
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.400
Get me out. But you know, it's really cool for

422
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:04.000
that kind of stuff.

423
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:06.359
But it's yeah, the stuff that I've done on it,

424
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:07.799
I think that's probably the wildest one.

425
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.400
Oh no, I did a live stream, so you put

426
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:13.160
yourself live. Never done it before. My ego loved it.

427
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:14.039
So I'm just.

428
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:15.519
There like doing this live stream.

429
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.160
It's all funny in that, And I got bombarded by

430
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.799
Christians like literally like, wow.

431
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:23.759
Loves you, Jesus loves you, praise him, praise of Jesus.

432
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.519
Think you can be saved, you could be saved. And

433
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:27.119
I'm there, like.

434
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.440
I started and I started speaking in like tongues, right,

435
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:34.039
but I was growling.

436
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:38.960
So they're like and they were just like, they're like, Jesus,

437
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:40.039
Jesus saved, Jesus saved.

438
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:42.319
They're like that you like spamming the chat like somehow

439
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:43.559
that's going to do anything.

440
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:47.440
I couldn't help it. I felt a bit bad. I

441
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:49.240
was like, I probably scared the living shit.

442
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:54.119
That's the funniest ship ever. That reminds me.

443
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:56.839
I was doing that. That's above so below the.

444
00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:59.960
Should have started, according Lluins and the extorsis.

445
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:08.039
I was saying like pig latiny stuff as well. I

446
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:09.279
suppose it didn't get banned.

447
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:10.599
I love it.

448
00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:13.000
And you know what's funny about that. There's two things

449
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.680
that made me laugh about that is one is I

450
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.480
was just talking about on my live show last week,

451
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:22.599
how to get rid of Jehovah's witnesses that come to

452
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:27.680
your house. And the first time I was effective, I

453
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:28.640
was a teenager.

454
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:29.960
I had.

455
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:34.799
Slayer playing through my guitar amplifier in the background when

456
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:37.079
they knocked on my door and I was wearing Ozzy

457
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.880
Diary of a Madman's shirt, and they I just said

458
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.200
to him a very straight face, I'm like, sorry, I'm

459
00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:49.240
a devil worshiper, and they ran so fast and never.

460
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:51.000
Yes.

461
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:53.880
I had the same experience as well when I was

462
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:56.119
about thirteen or fourteen. They came knocking at the door

463
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.319
and I had like first d a side out blasting

464
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:04.279
the living room and answered the door wearing shirt the

465
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:05.359
one that says to kill God.

466
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.519
I think the song that was playing when they hit

467
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:13.759
the door was I Am the Antichrist.

468
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:16.839
It was like, I Am the Antichrist. All left Lunt

469
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:19.039
oh Man.

470
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.839
It was like it couldn't have been planned more perfectly.

471
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:25.799
But then I also wanted to talk, which is good

472
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.319
and funny. Tomorrow on my live show, I'm gonna be

473
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:33.960
talking about Gojira because of that oh yeah, fucking insane

474
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:38.720
performance at the Olympics. Like, first of all, when I

475
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:41.480
heard they were playing the Olympics, I'm like, oh my god,

476
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:48.880
maybe this year Jethrotel won't win a medal award and

477
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:51.480
oh my god, it was so awesome. But what I

478
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:56.680
think so funny is all these idiot Illuminati people that

479
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:01.599
think that go Jira playing at the Olympics is another

480
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:05.599
sign that the Illuminati is taking over and the whole thing.

481
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:08.839
I'm sure you've seen all over the net the Satanic

482
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:13.400
Olympics and I'm like, oh my god, maybe it was.

483
00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:16.640
I literally said this to people on social media. I

484
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:19.680
was messing with people that were doing I'm like, maybe

485
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:24.240
it's just because they're a French band playing in France.

486
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.480
Exactly what a concept.

487
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:32.480
The most un satanic band I've ever heard. The lyrics

488
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:36.400
are about whales and saving the planet and pollution.

489
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:40.599
So it's like, that's what I love about people that

490
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:43.599
think they know metal, especially when it comes to a

491
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:45.960
band like a Giro or a band like you guys,

492
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:47.240
where they don't even.

493
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:48.400
Know what the words are.

494
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:49.759
They just hear.

495
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.440
Satan. Satan is what gives you that voice.

496
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:59.240
Maybe if they wanted a Satanic French band play at

497
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.000
the Good of astat spell Omega or something like that.

498
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:07.160
Right, yeah, and see they changed it, those idiot people

499
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.559
change the Olympics logo to say six sixty six and

500
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:12.720
saying that's what was put up on the screen.

501
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:14.680
Well, go Jura was playing.

502
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:16.799
Find what you look for in the world. That's what

503
00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:17.519
I've noticed.

504
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:18.839
I'm telling you.

505
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.559
Well, even like the old days, remember backward masking, Okay,

506
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.839
like you were told what it said, so then you

507
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:28.599
would listen like, oh, yeah, that is what it's saying.

508
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:31.720
It's probably just saying blah blah blah that and you're like, oh, yeah,

509
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.279
I heard that.

510
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:36.240
Yeah, it's because people just hear what they want to hear.

511
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:38.680
Like I always say, like you project out what's inside you.

512
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:41.319
But if you keep seeing evil everywhere, maybe it's because

513
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:42.559
you're afraid of your own evil.

514
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:43.400
I've always said that.

515
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:45.599
I love that. That's a great I mean.

516
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.599
Because I understand, Like, so the things that you like

517
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:51.359
think of think a bad or negative, they come from

518
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:54.480
a base understanding of you. You are the perspective of

519
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:57.680
that understanding of what's bad or good. Your moralities created

520
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:00.640
from your experiences, et cetera. So when they say things

521
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.000
are evil and the bad like like homosexuality and things

522
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.039
like that. That's probably because they have feelings themselves.

523
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:09.680
Well, let me, let's be real.

524
00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:15.599
Most homophobes are the ones that really are hiding.

525
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:18.759
Yeah, and I'll take that exact logic and take it

526
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:20.839
to everything else that they also complain about.

527
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:25.160
And now you're like, ah, that's so true. I love it.

528
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:27.440
That's psychology, that's for you.

529
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:30.319
So is there anything else we want to tell the

530
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.119
listeners about what you have coming up or anything about

531
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.319
your music before we go that we haven't covered already?

532
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:39.279
So Bloodstock is going to be a very very special

533
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:43.880
special gig due to the fact that Andy is retiring.

534
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:49.000
M So he's hanging up the sticks, that's it. So

535
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:50.880
we're going to send him out with a blast anyway,

536
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:54.039
Like you know, yeah, sad to see him go, Like

537
00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:58.240
you mean, so great myths, great friends. Do you really

538
00:27:58.319 --> 00:28:01.880
enjoy playing music with him? Really blood stuck with him

539
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:06.359
and hanging open him that weekend? Then like yeah, yeah, so.

540
00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:09.839
Yeah it's gona but like I don't think he's I know,

541
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:13.079
he's stopped playing live, that's so he might still do

542
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:15.400
little things at home, but yeah, like when it comes

543
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:17.200
to live, I think that's it.

544
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:21.559
Now he's done. Done. He's fair, he's earned it, he's earned.

545
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:24.079
The rest, you know, absolutely sixty years old, he's been

546
00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:25.680
drumming for forty plus years.

547
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.759
I mean, I can't imagine, like how the kind of

548
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:30.440
like relief and.

549
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:32.599
Pride he has, like at least he's done something and

550
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.599
then god, right, I'm done now totally.

551
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:37.640
And that's to do that for sixty years. That's a

552
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.160
lot of work and a lot on your body, for sure.

553
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:45.200
Yeah sure, yeah, especially playing drums like at that level.

554
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:46.920
That's that extreme.

555
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:51.799
I can't even imagine most people sixty being able to

556
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:52.640
drum like that.

557
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.680
Yeah, literally, Like I saw you know, you remember anvil, Like,

558
00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:59.519
oh yeah, I saw them on one of these, and

559
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:01.599
they're like, you know, in their mid sixties and upwards.

560
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:05.440
And the drummer he's like renowned like for being such

561
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:07.640
a good drummer as well, and he's there playing like that,

562
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.720
and I thought he's got one hundred dates, one hundred dates.

563
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:13.960
I was like, how they're built.

564
00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:16.559
Different, built different stern of stuff. My friend, that generation

565
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:17.240
are built different.

566
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:19.759
Well, I'm from that generation.

567
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:22.599
So like my daughter, my youngest daughter, sometimes I'll bring

568
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:24.400
her festivals with me because I go on tour and

569
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:26.559
do like a festival every weekend, and now they're even

570
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:29.720
longer post COVID. It's like every festival is now four

571
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:33.039
or five days instead of two or three days. Yea,

572
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.079
and my door will be after half a day. She's like, Dad,

573
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:40.799
I don't know how you do this every weekend. I'm done, Like,

574
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.119
and I say to or I'll know how, I don't.

575
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:49.200
You know, it's it's it is something that's just built

576
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:52.359
in you. Yeah, it's the way it comes down to,

577
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:54.720
and that's true of being a musician. It's something that's

578
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:55.799
built in you.

579
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:56.000
You know.

580
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.519
Yeah, yeah, especially when you play the type of music

581
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:02.160
you do. You're not doing it to become a rock star.

582
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:03.759
You're doing it because the music's building.

583
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:05.880
Yeah, Like if we wanted to get famous, we'll play

584
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:08.680
all the kind of bands that are more likely to

585
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:11.680
get famous and known and roll that reputation. You know,

586
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.319
we're doing this because we like music. But fundamentally, it's

587
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:16.960
like the best part of it is is playing music

588
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.400
with people you actually like.

589
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:20.359
That really helps.

590
00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:26.039
Okay, it's to fun at the end of the day,

591
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:27.000
it's all about having fun.

592
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:30.640
You're playing music with I mean that you are like that.

593
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.000
We are of like common vision. Do you know what

594
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:36.359
I mean? To write good songs, have fun, playing with

595
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:40.079
have fun, playing gigs to people, meet people. Certainly not

596
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:43.000
about playing money. It's certainly about not making money into it.

597
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:46.119
Definitely isn't like Yeah.

598
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:49.680
And I say nowadays, especially more than ever, if you're

599
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:53.079
not having fun in this business, this is the wrong

600
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:56.079
business because everything else is not fun.

601
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.559
Yeah, playing festivals is the peak fun, right, and like

602
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.920
it's just mad, it's just crazy.

603
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:08.960
A few times you guys get to see bands you

604
00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:10.960
want to see because they happen to be at the

605
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:14.599
festival and you wouldn't tour with them or or anything

606
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:17.000
like that. Like you get to see bands you probably

607
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:18.039
would never tour with.

608
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:20.400
True, Yeah, that's true.

609
00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:21.720
Yeah, very true.

610
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.200
And so now now with you saying that, now there's

611
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:29.400
three times you've gotten me depressed during this interview. From

612
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.799
the beginning it's because I'm missing day Side and Carcass

613
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:38.200
and now it's because I'm missing this like iconic set

614
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.000
that you guys are going to do never to be repeated,

615
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:41.519
and it.

616
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:43.200
Will be filmed.

617
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:45.279
It's going to be filmed so you can watch the

618
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.359
whole thing like in full. So that's something.

619
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:51.319
Felt only at Bloodstock.

620
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:54.720
I think that ranks right up there with a couple

621
00:31:54.680 --> 00:32:00.000
of years ago when Machine had played as the surprise

622
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:02.519
his band in the Yeah, so.

623
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:05.559
You're right up there with that. That's your set this year.

624
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:08.400
Oh wow, thanks Mind, I appreciate that.

625
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:09.920
Oh my pleasure.

626
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:13.039
