6
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.039
With Dan Chandler Evans Blue. What's going on? Nice?

7
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.560
Yes, So I'm very excited because we're here at Welcome

8
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.640
to Rockville and this is is this like your first

9
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.280
festival or even first show, and since two thoy fifteen

10
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:44.320
or something, it's.

11
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.759
Been a while. Until last weekend we played up in Lansing,

12
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.359
Michigan at a festival. So it was a good show

13
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.159
to have a first show back in a long time,

14
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.920
get the kinks worked out, make sure everything's working correctly,

15
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.119
and we did have a couple of hiccups, but that's

16
00:00:58.119 --> 00:00:58.920
to be expected.

17
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.799
It's great that you said that, because I like that

18
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.599
Rockville's the second because you got rid of all the

19
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.959
bugs and cobwebs and everything, and now you can kill

20
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.400
it here at the Daytona Speedway.

21
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.599
That amazing. I know we're driving on the track to

22
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.400
get to the dressing, right. I mean, it's just crazy

23
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.120
I got my kids with me, so they get to

24
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.959
see everything kind of experience and it's amazing. Man.

25
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.799
They like driving on the speedway.

26
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.560
They love it. Their papa is a huge race car fanatic,

27
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.519
used to drive cars, build them, race them. He's not

28
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.959
with us today, so we ended up filming him and

29
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.519
he's like, it would have been the best part of

30
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.040
my trip. I'm like, you would have loved it. Man.

31
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:39.959
Did you see the wall? It's not like it looks

32
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:40.480
on TV.

33
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:41.439
Like, absolutely not.

34
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.280
The first year I was here, I was like, because

35
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.439
I have a jeep and I have my skateboard and

36
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.159
the jeep, and I said to Christine, who runs media here,

37
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.239
I'm like, hey, if I take my skateboard and ride

38
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.799
it out on the wall, Well, I got at my

39
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.439
media passport. She said yeah, probably. I'm like, okay, wait

40
00:01:58.480 --> 00:01:59.280
until after.

41
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:00.560
There you go that end.

42
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.040
But I looked at that wall like, yeah, I would

43
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.159
probably break a lot of bones get on my skateboard

44
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.599
and try to come down the wall.

45
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.159
I ain't going on skateboard without a wall. Yeah, I've

46
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.080
been a big trouble. But yeah, the wall is so

47
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.919
much more angle than I see on TV.

48
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.639
You don't know. And then Okay, do you know why

49
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.439
those colored seats are.

50
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.919
No, But we thought it was people when we first

51
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:25.199
pull it.

52
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:31.439
It so that when they're on TV, that's incredible no

53
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.599
matter how many people are here, it looks like it's full.

54
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.560
I need to do that at all our Evans Blue shows.

55
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.759
Yeah, there he goes. Tell us what made you come

56
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.159
out of this long hiatus to it? Seems a lot

57
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.759
of bands are doing it in twenty twenty five for

58
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:45.400
some reason.

59
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.919
Yeah. I don't remember like collaborating with people and telling them, hey,

60
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.360
let's all go back out and play. But we've been

61
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:52.919
wanting to play for a long time. I did a

62
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.039
couple other projects just for fun to stay a bit.

63
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.000
I can't just not play or make music. But really

64
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:02.680
just came down to life's events. Man. It's everybody's got kids,

65
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.479
and everybody's trying to make it work, and we just

66
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.319
figured it's time. I want to get back out there.

67
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:09.960
I miss it. My kids are at the age now

68
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.360
where they can actually experience something that I did for

69
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.560
my whole life and get a memory. And for me

70
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:15.879
it's medicine and I miss it.

71
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.439
Oh, definitely the best therapy, Yeah, it's for sure. And

72
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.000
and the way I look at it is it's kind

73
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.039
of like you were talking about that with you know,

74
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.240
having kids, Like you're in band and then you start

75
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.560
a family, and like you focus on the family, and

76
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.800
then the kids get older. It's okay, now I can

77
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:30.319
go back.

78
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:31.759
To doing yes, coming out of the bubble.

79
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.599
There you go, there you go. What do your kids

80
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.159
think about when they see you up there doing that?

81
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.000
I don't know, that's very impressive.

82
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.680
Hoards up. So they're both are so they're into it.

83
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:45.680
We listen to a lot of music at the house,

84
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.879
play a lot of music. They both love it. But

85
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.680
yet I don't hear them jamming my CDs or streaming

86
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:57.919
my music. But they're fans. I'm no Taylor Swift or anything.

87
00:03:58.039 --> 00:03:59.000
So it's a little different.

88
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.879
It's funny you should say, because I was just gonna

89
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.479
mention I have a granddaughter, two grand daughters. There Swifties, okay,

90
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:08.560
Adam in the car isolated, couldn't go anywhere. I'm like, here,

91
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.759
I'm gonna play this song. Let's see what you think

92
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.159
about it was I prevail, Oh yeah, blank spaces and

93
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.639
so one of my granddaughters. Both of them were like,

94
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:23.399
all right, I like Taylor better. And then got back

95
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.399
to the house and one of my granddaughter she's locked

96
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.360
in her room like a typical preteen in it.

97
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.040
By the way, I love it.

98
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:38.199
I'm like converted. Thank you. So you were coming on this. Okay,

99
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:42.279
so this is my battle vest from the eighties. Okay, awesome,

100
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.759
this Slayer didn't even have patches yet. Okay, this okay,

101
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:49.839
it's fight because I was on ship Rock doing coverage

102
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:51.720
and that was the first time I've brought this out

103
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:55.319
of closet and brought it to festivals to do interviews,

104
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.360
and I'm like, wow, that was a great fucking idea

105
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:03.079
because Okay, Whinston Parkway Drive was totally geeking out, especially

106
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.639
this patch, because he's like, holy shit, I've never seen

107
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.040
a logo like that for Metallica because they're not a

108
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.560
Satanic or whatever band. I have not either, so I

109
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.959
have At first, I have a trivia question for you

110
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.319
because it just came up before. Do you know what

111
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:18.839
that represents that patch?

112
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:21.920
I got nothing, I got nothing. What is it? It

113
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.879
looks like a devil king Kong dragon something.

114
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:26.759
It's the song Jumping the Fire.

115
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.959
Oh it makes sense now.

116
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.160
Before Kill Them All came out, this was the patch

117
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:32.879
no kidding.

118
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.839
Wow, man, what a conversation conversation piece this jacket is.

119
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.279
Oh yeah, it's got a lot. Now we go on

120
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.079
the other side and you see the mosh pit conversation piece.

121
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.160
Gosh okay, and of course like.

122
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:48.680
Wow, look at these patches.

123
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.000
I know right, that's a Metallica patch, believe it or not.

124
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:53.879
That is incredible.

125
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:55.800
And that's a Venom patch.

126
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.240
Wow, I've never seen it has like the actual picture

127
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.639
on the patch. Yeah, that is killed. We need to

128
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.000
get some of these, bring them back.

129
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.079
I know, right, I love it. And then over here

130
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.839
it's blood from climbing up a Marshall stack, running from

131
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.399
security and diving into the crowd and they moved I

132
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.160
you oh no, and the ergo I have no teeth up.

133
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.240
My god, man, don't do that.

134
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.279
It's do not be stupid like I.

135
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.680
Was jumping in the crowd unless Yeah, I just don't

136
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.839
do it. It's awesome.

137
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.600
And so I was like, oh, what great conversation. I

138
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.720
never thought of that. Look at this no posers, Oh

139
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.240
my gosh, that's back in the day. You don't even

140
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.480
use that reference now. I remember Metallica, there were like

141
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.279
twenty five of us that used to go to Metallica shows. Yeah,

142
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.079
and then they did the Black album. We're like, fuck,

143
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:52.879
damn fucking posers sellouts.

144
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.120
Oh my god, that's funny.

145
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.560
And then I was right up front for two sets

146
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.279
at Sonic Temple last week. So, you know what, you're

147
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.879
an idiot when you're young, and then you come back

148
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.519
a little layter realize it's different when you're done and

149
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:09.759
doing this stuff. You know, it's like, there shouldn't be

150
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.480
that gatekeeping. There shouldn't be that poser bullshit. What I

151
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.480
love now is there's going to be two hundred thousand

152
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.399
people here at Welcome to rock Felle and we're just

153
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.639
one big family and nobody's an outcast, right, nobody. You

154
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.319
could be whoever you want to be. I wasn't the

155
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.279
case in the beginning. I'm so glad it got to

156
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.519
where we are now. You came back at the right time, then.

157
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.480
Yes, I guess so, I guess we did. I wanted

158
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.879
to be back earlier, we all did. But yeah, we've

159
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.160
been tracking songs in the studio, recording, trying to get

160
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.759
some new music. We've got tracks done. We just have

161
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.560
to figure out the best scenario. Because we were like, well,

162
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.839
if we're going to do these festivals. It'd be nice

163
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.399
to have something new out there, but we didn't get

164
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:50.800
them done in time, and we didn't want to pass

165
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.319
up an opportunity to play a show like this.

166
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:53.040
Yeah, no doubt.

167
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.720
Yeah, So we'll get them out there as soon as

168
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:55.040
we can.

169
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:56.959
Do you have other festivals you're gonna be doing.

170
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.519
Yeah, we're going down to Houston, Texas next week and

171
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.800
Dallas and we're playing I guess the Marilynd Manson or

172
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:08.839
like the Buzzfest okay, and the df something I forget

173
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.360
what they called it, but yeah, Dallas. It's gonna be

174
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.120
same bill, same line up.

175
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:13.560
Nice.

176
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.439
Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah, and then we go home for

177
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:15.879
a little bit.

178
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.800
That's always nice, right, is it's better now that you're a

179
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.879
little older, like instead of being touring three hundred and

180
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.959
seventy million days of the year or two, go take

181
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.920
some time off recharge like me. I do almost all

182
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.679
the festivals in the US, UK, Europe. I do a bunch. Yeah,

183
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.960
and like I'm gonna go home from here and I'm

184
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.080
gonna have four days before I have to go to

185
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.879
Vegas for Punk Rock Bowling and I will seclude like,

186
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.720
oh okay, we'll see me outside at all, I'll be like, like,

187
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:49.879
just let me just chill out, recharge p mice. But

188
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.759
then I come here, I'm like, oh my god, I

189
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.639
love this. It's like a love hate relations.

190
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.120
That's what it's like. You can't wait to get back

191
00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:59.559
out and you can't wait to get home. Then you can.

192
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.320
It's just that's what we are. We're humans, so we

193
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.679
do we we can't have, and when we have it,

194
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:05.240
we don't want it.

195
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.200
If you were to take one story, good or bad,

196
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:12.440
that you've had throughout this whole career of music that

197
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.440
you're going to tell your grandkids about, what would it be.

198
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:18.879
I don't know. If I didn't, i'd have to encompass

199
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.360
maybe the whole way it went, how it started. I

200
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.120
would say it seems impossible, and I think you have

201
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:26.919
to be a little bit delusional to think you can

202
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.200
actually pull something like this off. But be delusional. That's

203
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.879
how it happens. Keep pushing, keep going. I think just

204
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.399
the really it was just the climb and the desperation,

205
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:40.679
and everything looks better now looking back because it worked out,

206
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:43.279
you know what I mean. But at the time, it's difficult.

207
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.759
So sometimes things are going to be hard. And like

208
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:47.799
I said, when I tell my kids, it's if you

209
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:51.039
want something bad enough, you can get it. You just

210
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:52.720
have to want it bad enough. You don't get it.

211
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:54.879
You got to do everything it takes. And I love

212
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.919
that story because it takes. It's not a job like

213
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.320
someone's making you do it. It's the one thing in

214
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.159
my life that has been like under my control. Nobody

215
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.039
told me to do it. Nobody said pick up a guitar,

216
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.759
write a song, do that. It was all in my heart.

217
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:12.279
So the fact that it actually felt more accomplished. We're

218
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.480
not Nickelback and Creed Metallica, and but dude, I am

219
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.759
not upset about how we've gotten to where we've gotten.

220
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.720
Think you have that sound though, Like this, your music

221
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.799
sound sounds like those big stadium bands you were just mentioning,

222
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:29.919
especially like a Nickelback or Creed or anything along that lines.

223
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.279
It has that. There's bands that do it, and then

224
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.799
there's bands that sound like it, and you guys are like,

225
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.159
sound like it. Okay, you got that familiarity. Let's see

226
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.399
your music and like, man, I know that, right, Yeah.

227
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:45.919
I know, I know exactly what you're talking about. And

228
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:46.960
I'll take that all day.

229
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.639
Yeah, And I love what you said because I'm also

230
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.840
a motivational speaker, and it is all about this business

231
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.279
is all about persevering and persistence. Like you don't have

232
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.639
those two components, you are screwed.

233
00:10:58.759 --> 00:10:59.000
Yep.

234
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:02.080
And initially, like I was very involved in the eighties

235
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:07.919
LA metal scene and sang thrash metal and knew everybody.

236
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:13.320
And then I didn't do what like Metallica did, Like

237
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.679
they were so persistent persevering, and why was at their

238
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.120
first show ever and I saw what happened, and I'm

239
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.600
just going to go in a different direction, which I did,

240
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.960
and I went into the business world once I kind

241
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.679
of my twenties in the financial business. But then after

242
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.399
a while of that, it just came back because hey,

243
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.759
it's part of you. It's like when people say to me, oh,

244
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.039
I used to like metal, and like then you were

245
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.000
never a metal head. I don't know any metal head

246
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.480
that says I used to like metal. I don't know

247
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:47.120
any rocker that says I used to like rock. I

248
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.279
don't know real punks that say I used to like punk.

249
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:55.000
You know, it is in you, in you all the time,

250
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.879
and so I understand exactly what you're saying, and thank God,

251
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.960
you're still here because I am, and to give that

252
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:06.679
message to the younger generation that you just you can't

253
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:10.120
see what's on the other side of the forest.

254
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.000
Yeah, and they get told that what's possible and what's

255
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.120
not possible. That's what the delusion part is. It's if

256
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.399
I listen to everybody, you know, just like everybody who's

257
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:21.519
ever tried to do something they really wanted to do

258
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.240
and it was hard. A lot of times you're just

259
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.960
told how to believe, like, well, it's just not possible.

260
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:28.960
And I don't think that ends. I think I'm still

261
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.639
snapping out of things that people told me and doctrinated

262
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.159
me into believing that, oh, there's no real rockstars, so

263
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.480
there's no real money and there's no way you're gonna

264
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.840
it's if I really believed all that stuff, I would

265
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.919
give up. Who wouldn't. It's okay, I do it because

266
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.720
I love it. That's the difference. I don't do it

267
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:45.519
for the money. I don't do it for you know

268
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:47.639
what I mean. It's not that. And I think any

269
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:49.759
band that's going out there thinking, oh I'm gonna do this,

270
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:51.440
I'm gonna make money, I'm gonna make a song that

271
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.799
sells a million records because it sounds like this and

272
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:55.759
it does this, and it's just like that, that's just

273
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:56.519
not gonna work.

274
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:00.840
No, And see, to me, the true musicians are the

275
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:04.759
ones that are around and become the icons because they

276
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.360
just have no clue. They're just being musicians. Are not

277
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.399
out to be a rock star. But most of them

278
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.000
don't like it. Like you take Kurt Cobain, he's not

279
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:16.240
with us because he didn't like it and he couldn't

280
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:19.120
escape it. He just wanted to sit in the hotel

281
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:22.480
room with Courtney and play music. Yeah, and people don't

282
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.240
understand that's the real rock stars.

283
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.600
Yeah, it's like those people who be careful what you

284
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:30.919
hope wish for because you just want to get it right.

285
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.480
That's saying I'm not at any level like that, but

286
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.639
I do know that there is a We had that

287
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:40.240
festival last weekend, and you'll have those certain fans, which

288
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:43.559
I'm so grateful for, but they really enjoy your company

289
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.200
and talking and I'll talk until it's morning to be

290
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.039
honest with you. But there is like you said, you

291
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:49.960
sometimes have to get away that four days you're going

292
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:53.039
to have to just seclude yourself. And it's like my

293
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.960
social limit gets drained after a while you're like, okay,

294
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.000
I gotta recharge this, so I don't know how to

295
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.320
talk anymore totally. But yeah, it's that's what it is.

296
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:05.080
And thank God for these people, man, Yeah, God for him.

297
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.000
And I love when I run into a fan like

298
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:12.399
that's just it changes. It makes you feel just completely different.

299
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.639
When they're singing your song. Yeah, okay, does that trip

300
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:17.159
you out or what it is?

301
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:19.799
It's amazing. I'm just a guy and they're just a

302
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:23.000
guy or a girl or whatever, and for some reason,

303
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:24.360
and I know how it is because I'm just a

304
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.399
guy who sees other artists that I'm like, oh my god,

305
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:28.679
I just admire them or and they see it that

306
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.639
in you and you're like, I don't know what you

307
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.600
see because you know, I'm just a dude. But right,

308
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.000
so cool. It's a very lucky life to have those

309
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:38.000
kind of people around you.

310
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:42.279
And most true creatives are their own worst critics.

311
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:42.559
Yeah.

312
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:46.039
I have a lot of friends that are band members.

313
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.320
And it's funny. There's this picture we were in media

314
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:53.279
and I was talking Phil Onselmo because we're friends, and

315
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.559
really what I was doing was his wife. He was

316
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.960
like talking to everybody, and they were all try ass

317
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:02.039
for selfies and stuff. His wife's like, hey, can you

318
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.080
get him for me? Because he'll never leave. Okay, he's

319
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.320
just too nice, he'll never leave. So I go whisper

320
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.720
in his ear. I'm like, hey, your wife needs you

321
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:10.159
to leave.

322
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:11.080
Now, there you.

323
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.960
Go, and then he whispers in my ear. My set

324
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.600
sucked today. And it is funny because that is how

325
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.399
people think. Everybody's what do say? What do he say?

326
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.639
And I'm like, I'm not telling them, you know. It's

327
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:28.679
like the same for me. I'll do interviews and I'll

328
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.000
get off the interview, I'm like, man, in my head,

329
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.159
I'm like, man, I fucking sucked. And then the arts

330
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:38.759
are like, man, it was so much fun. I'm like,

331
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:42.279
were you at the same interview. I'm not sure because

332
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.720
I think I sucked, but it's perspective. Man.

333
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:47.799
We'll get off stage and I'll be like, he's we killed.

334
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.200
It was so fun. And one guy's like, god, I

335
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.639
couldn't hear anything. I missed this. I'm so sorry. I

336
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.159
probably asked everything up. I'm like, what do you what?

337
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.840
That was amazing. I'm like, I guess I better listen

338
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:00.559
to you guys too. Instead of you myself.

339
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:03.480
But you know what, I think those mess ups and

340
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.120
live shows are what make them great. One of my

341
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:11.080
biggest memories US Festival nineteen eighty three Van Helen's headline

342
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.480
and they they're about they start planning, talk about love,

343
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:18.039
and David Larros's just standing there at He's looking at him,

344
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.360
and he just goes this crowd of three hundred thousand

345
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:25.600
people and goes, I fucking forgot the word. Oh yeah,

346
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.639
and the whole fucking place cheer. That was the best

347
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:29.799
part of the whole show.

348
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:30.279
Amazing.

349
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.200
And then of course one there was one heckler in

350
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.320
the crowd. There's always at least one dude, okay, and

351
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.039
so Dave just turned him and goes, where's your kids.

352
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.000
They're okay, good, they've heard it all.

353
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.480
I'm gonna fuck your girlfriend.

354
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.559
It's amazing.

355
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.679
That's what lives. It's about, though it's not the perfectionism

356
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:53.879
that's for the studio.

357
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:57.519
That's exactly right. I want to see and watch and feel.

358
00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:59.919
I love it. Yeah, we mess up, I've missed it.

359
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.799
That's how you handle it right, Own it like.

360
00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:05.480
That always because most people don't even notice you. The

361
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:07.880
artists notice when you fuck out.

362
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.039
And typically you won't notice until you see the artists

363
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.279
act weird something happen. You're like, oh, what they must

364
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:13.680
have missed up, wouldn't have.

365
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.200
Not, wouldn't know, wouldn't pay attention. It was even funny

366
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.599
with Metallica at Sonic Temple the I think it was

367
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:25.480
the first set I heard something like miss but I

368
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.319
didn't really pay attention to it. And then everybody around

369
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:31.599
me because everybody likes to throw shade at Lars okay,

370
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:36.599
and they're like, oh, Lars fucking missed it, and I

371
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:39.240
was like, I didn't even really notice it like that.

372
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:41.400
I just noticed it, like there was a little blip.

373
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.839
But listen, it's live. Like you know how many times

374
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:46.680
I'll do an interview and there's shit I was gonna

375
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:50.000
ask and I don't even remember this. Fuck Afterwards, we're like, fuck,

376
00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:53.720
I wanted to talk about that. You're just in the moment, man,

377
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.400
and I think everybody out there in the show should

378
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.720
be in the moment. Forget that stuff. Forgetting the bullshit

379
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.079
come planing that goes on all the time just bugs me.

380
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.000
I thought that was gonna be over with COVID, like

381
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:07.400
when we didn't have live music for time, oh my god. Yeah,

382
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.240
no kidding, but it's like back full force now, and

383
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.960
you're just ridiculous. This is the best therapy ever. And listen,

384
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.200
fucking doesn't it make you feel good? Who cares if

385
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:20.559
it's perfect, if someone something whatever.

386
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.720
If you're out there and you're doing debits and credits

387
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.920
on how the band's performing, and like, oh god it

388
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.920
you see, Oh, then we're not playing for you, no doubt.

389
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:31.319
It's for the people who feel it. Who cares it happens?

390
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:33.839
You know who I know that does that most is

391
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.200
my friends are musicians that never even got up above

392
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.039
the ground, much less up anywhere. And it's like they're

393
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:43.240
all criticizing. All the big musicians are up there, and

394
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.400
you know what, everybody likes criticized Lars, But look at

395
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:46.880
where he is.

396
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:48.200
He'stressed about it.

397
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:51.200
He was, he was. He was right about Napster too.

398
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:54.359
Everybody gave him shade of about that. Have everybody listened

399
00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:56.400
to artists would be making a lot more money right now.

400
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:58.160
Yes, that's so true.

401
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.359
But I'm glad you're here at Rockville. You guys are badass,

402
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:03.920
so happy so much. It's gonna be such a cool

403
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.599
live show here. And man, I hope to see again

404
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:09.799
a lot more at these and oh I can't wait

405
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.599
new music and all that. Tell everybody how they can

406
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:13.559
reach out to you. Guys.

407
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.519
Forever, we got the typical stuff, all the social media,

408
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.839
the Facebook, we get. We got to get more active

409
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.000
on those social media. But now that we're out playing again,

410
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.440
we're gonna have some new music soon. You're probably gonna

411
00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:26.480
hear a lot more from us, right, so just the

412
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:28.000
basic social media platforms.

413
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.920
It's weird too that you were on that long hiatus

414
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.200
and come back and fuck, I gotta do the social media.

415
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:38.400
Shit, what do we say? Take a video of me

416
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:39.279
just standing there.

417
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:42.519
It's wild, right, Like you come out and it's like, oh,

418
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:44.680
that's a lot of change. Like I'm from the tape

419
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.960
trading days, like I want to go back to that ship.

420
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.359
Yeah, no kidding, when's tape's coming back?

421
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.680
I know Metallica's last album, they put out a cassette tape, right.

422
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.119
Even James even said during the set, it sick that

423
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:56.680
boy he's buy the cassette.

424
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.599
Oh my god, that's amazing. People would buy that just for.

425
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:03.160
Novel, no doubt. I still have my from tape trading

426
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.400
