There were a number of once-in-a-lifetime moments over the course of the four days that added to the specialness of Louder Than Life.

W four c Y Radio and I'm.

4
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.800
Here with Matt good from first to last.

5
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.039
Nice here at Louder than Life.

6
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:30.760
Yeah.

7
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.799
Now, how fucking awesome is this festival?

8
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.920
This festival is unbelievably sick, right, yeah. And I have

9
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.439
a lot of experience at festivals. Actually, I've been doing

10
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.520
this since two thousand and three, and we used to

11
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.399
do like Warp Tour and all that shit. It's like, man,

12
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.520
this is insane, right, insane man.

13
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.280
And I want to ask you too that I ask everybody, like,

14
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.280
as an artist, how do you feel Danny Wimmer treats.

15
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.000
You really well, really really well.

16
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:00.840
And the one thing I will say about this really

17
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.880
cool is that all the bands, it feels like they're

18
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.920
all treated well. There's no weird hierarchy or anything like that.

19
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.079
You go in the dressing room and everybody has a

20
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.040
nice room. They're all the same size, they all have

21
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.040
the same accommodations. It's like it's just really it's just

22
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:14.719
done so well.

23
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:15.359
Yeah.

24
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.480
And I asked that question not only because we're here

25
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.760
at the festival, but in sixteen years of doing the

26
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.280
Wimmer festivals, I've never heard an orders say a bad thing.

27
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.480
I ever easily believe that. Yeah, yeah, and you.

28
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.439
Just proved it. And I love what you said.

29
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.439
I hear a lot. It doesn't matter who you are.

30
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:40.400
You are treated the same, whether you're bring Me to

31
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:45.760
Rise and Slayer or you're the band playing in the

32
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:46.359
theme park.

33
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.519
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, it doesn't matter.

34
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.000
It doesn't You're right, and listen. I do a lot

35
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.560
of festivals too. Usually to La have a Ferros wheel

36
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.159
and maybe one other rut. I don't know if any

37
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.359
other festival in the world that has a whole.

38
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:02.439
Feed bark is part of it.

39
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:04.280
I don't think there is one, right, I would be

40
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.280
shocked if there was.

41
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:06.840
It's fucking wild man.

42
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:08.479
It is man.

43
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.159
And the cool thing is too, is that the people

44
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.560
that come to this festival, they come for the music,

45
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.439
which means they're here early.

46
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.319
Oh yeah, like early.

47
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.199
The first band to play the day has a huge crowd.

48
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:24.280
When does that happen?

49
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.520
Yeah, that's yeah, that's wild dude.

50
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:26.960
Right.

51
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.240
Yeah, we played it two fifty and it was literally

52
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:30.439
like packed to.

53
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.199
The brand and see the end. Yeah, it was just

54
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:33.960
like no one else can fit over here. That's it.

55
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.759
How does that feel when you're up there playing at

56
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.879
that time, thinking you're gonna have nobody because it's so early.

57
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:41.560
Yeah, how does it feel? Oh?

58
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.599
It feels fucking amazing. Yeah.

59
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.199
And the thing with us too, is we haven't played

60
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.840
in fifteen years, right, So I was like, I don't

61
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:48.719
even know what to expect.

62
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.400
You amos like culture shock, right, Yeah, you know, it's

63
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.080
like you want to ease your way back into it,

64
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.080
and there you are the biggest crowd ever.

65
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:57.479
Yeah, that's awesome.

66
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.240
It's really funny too, because, like you get up there

67
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.479
and I was telling the guys like, it only took

68
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.240
like thirty seconds before I zapped into oh I know

69
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.520
how to do this right, yeah, even though it's been

70
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.879
so long, Like it only took like thirty seconds, and

71
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:11.599
I just went all right, I'm doing this thing now.

72
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:12.400
I know it's gone.

73
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.599
Yeah, And then you see that crowd and kind of

74
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.879
motivates you like, wow, we should do more of this.

75
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.599
Yeah. Absolutely.

76
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.400
That's actually really funny that some of the people that

77
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.400
work for us so like, yeah that was good enough

78
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:25.719
to be pretty encouraging, huh.

79
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.960
And I was like, yeah, it was like yeah, let's

80
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:28.280
be real.

81
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:28.639
It was.

82
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.280
Yeah, And so.

83
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.840
What prompted you to make this comeback after so many

84
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.000
years to play?

85
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.479
Well, I mean realistically, we had. We just kind of

86
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.039
like recorded a song here and there over the last year.

87
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.159
I think we did two. Yeah, we did two. And

88
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:46.719
it was just kind of different.

89
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.680
When I'm a producer, I have a studio and I

90
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:50.680
make tons of records for O their bands and stuff.

91
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:52.199
So tho some of these things where I felt like,

92
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.560
why wouldn't I just make a song for my own band?

93
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.159
And so I did and it was fun or whatever,

94
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.439
but it's way different than being like, oh, we're gonna

95
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.840
be a real band shows now, right, completely separated.

96
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.840
So Danny Wimmer's people hit us up and asked us.

97
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.800
To play and I was like, oh, actually yeah, that'd

98
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.599
be sick. And then once we announced this song, then

99
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.520
some other people did and now it's becoming a thing

100
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.479
where I'm like, oh, I guess we're doing this again.

101
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.639
Guess where bam? Yeah, the band's back in town.

102
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:17.920
Yeah.

103
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:19.759
Well, after all this work of getting ready to play

104
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:21.800
shows again, and because it's like a whole other world,

105
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:23.560
you know, like I'm like, okay, wow, we got to

106
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:24.439
keep playing right.

107
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.120
Right, Yeah, and you just dropped the song yesterday. Yeah,

108
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.959
uh huh, Like so that also says you have to

109
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.560
keep playing yes, yeah, and that song is badass.

110
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.319
Thank you very much, thank you. We're really stoked on it.

111
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:38.240
It's doing quite well.

112
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.000
And how does it feel to be a producer, Like,

113
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.959
do you listen to the songs you write differently now

114
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:46.920
that you're a producer?

115
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:47.399
Oh?

116
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:51.160
God, yeah, one hundred, Because I think the thing that

117
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.439
like that releases the serotonin in my brain versus like

118
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.800
a normal person that's listening to it that had nothing

119
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:57.399
to do with it.

120
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.560
Is like thinking of the moment when we came.

121
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.160
Up with said idea, or like how we got some

122
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.800
sound to be there, or like how hard some guitar

123
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:08.120
part was snail, but we did it. So I'm listening

124
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.600
to it and like my brain is just like rapid

125
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.920
firing memories and like weird things like that. So for me,

126
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.120
I'm just like, Wow, this is so cool, feels so good.

127
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:17.839
And then I think people on the other end of

128
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:19.639
the thing are just like I like this.

129
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.439
This emotionally triggers me in some positive way. Right, It's

130
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.040
just a little different because.

131
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.319
Music's the best therapy there is for you, the artists,

132
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.399
and for me the listener.

133
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:28.040
Yeah, yep.

134
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.879
Do you look at you and the people in the band,

135
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:38.319
how you're playing and how you're performing differently now as

136
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:39.600
a producer, I.

137
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.920
Would say a little bit, I'm trying to like not

138
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.480
get too producer brained about it, yeah, because it would

139
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.040
be really easy to like get like really dissect everything

140
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.040
a little too much and get a little too deep

141
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.439
on the details. I'm really just trying to stick with

142
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:53.720
the right vibe. Yeah, you know, like I want to

143
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:55.600
make sure the vibe is right. Like the things that

144
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.519
people loved about our band, I'm like, let's just make

145
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.639
sure that we are not losing sight of those, because

146
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.839
like in the modern era, as a producer, there's a

147
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.639
lot of ways to like make things feel more perfect

148
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.199
but also waters down some things that people like about

149
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.120
us in the first place. So I'm trying to really

150
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:10.000
it's two.

151
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.160
Different personality, yes, And that's why I'm asking these things

152
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:14.720
because like if it were me, I would do it

153
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.920
your way too, Like I would shut off producer mentality

154
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.759
and turn on artists. Yeah, and then when I'm producing,

155
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.519
turn off artists, yeah, turn on producer. You know.

156
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.040
It is like that right, Yeah, and it even with me.

157
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.839
It's like I have my engineer or produce my show

158
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:33.959
because I want to fuck with that when I'm doing

159
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.079
my show. Makes sense, like why do I want to

160
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.439
twist knobs while I'm trying to focus on doing an

161
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.839
interview or whatever I'm doing. It's like, I think you

162
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.720
really need that too. I think you need the objectivity.

163
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:46.959
Yeah.

164
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.519
As a perfect example, you take the Black album by Mentallicoat.

165
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:55.399
Without that producer, that album isn't what it is now.

166
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.800
I mean shit, that won't even be remotely close to

167
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.079
what it is honestly exactly.

168
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.560
So I think you kind of need that objectiveness as

169
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.399
the producer where you remove the emotion from the equation,

170
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:13.480
because when you're the writer or the performer, you're emotionally attached.

171
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:13.600
To that stuff.

172
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.800
Oh yeah, yeah, It's funny like I wrote one song

173
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.399
once and I'm more of a book writer, so I

174
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.000
wrote it was more like a book, and I brought

175
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.199
it to Mike bro who was the head engineer of

176
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.199
our station. He was also a musician and he was

177
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.480
really good. Like I picked him because I used to

178
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.920
watch him play gigs and fuck with the mixer board

179
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.959
the whole time he's singing and playing, you know, because

180
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.439
he needed the perfection, and he goes, what the fuck

181
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.560
is this? You need to shorten this? This is a book,

182
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.839
And he's like, can we take this out of him?

183
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.519
Like no, that's important, like and everything. He was saying,

184
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.160
that's what I'm saying, you can't take it out. Finally

185
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.279
I was like, Okay, do whatever you want, because I

186
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:57.759
don't want you to take any of it out.

187
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.000
It's like part of you.

188
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:02.959
So it's very hard for me to sit there look

189
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:04.240
at it and say.

190
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.680
That doesn't belong right right, whereas.

191
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.279
He it's that it doesn't belong to have no emotion

192
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.839
involved and make it a real song.

193
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.600
Yeah, I think you see that all the time, all

194
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:16.040
the time.

195
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.560
Those conversations are touchy too.

196
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:19.160
You got to really be like, I think, let's have

197
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.560
a certain level of empathy pre installed in your in

198
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.120
who you are, because I can really tell how people

199
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.160
are feeling by just you can feel the vibe obviously

200
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:29.519
in the room, you know, like they'll talk quieter, look down,

201
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:31.360
or you gotta be really smart about the way that

202
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.720
you approach people when you're telling them their ideas could

203
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.919
be better or they're not good enough. Or they need

204
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.559
refinement when they're already so invested in these ideas.

205
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.600
It takes a certain skill, for sure.

206
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.919
And I think that's where you have a benefit as

207
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.559
an artist being the producer, because you understand how it

208
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:48.720
feels to be on the other side.

209
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:50.639
You are more right than you could ever even know.

210
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.960
Probably right, yeah, because a lot of the bands they

211
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.159
work with they know of my band, and I'm like, look, man,

212
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:56.759
I've been there before, and they know that I'm not

213
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.440
bullshitting them, right because they just know, you know what

214
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:00.519
I mean exactly.

215
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.720
I look at the same way here.

216
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:08.200
It's like, when I'm doing interviews, I'm thinking, as if

217
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.440
I was the artist, how I would feel on the

218
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:12.600
other end of the mic. And for sure, sometimes at

219
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.840
these festivals I listen to other media people, I'm like, man,

220
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.039
if I was the artist, I'd slip my throat right

221
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:23.759
now as boring as fuck. Man's why are you asking

222
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.120
a question that the other twenty people asked?

223
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.759
Why are you asking a question that you can google?

224
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:30.240
I'm like, I'm doing.

225
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.759
All that shit, yeah, Wikipedia, right, Like, the only time

226
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.399
I'll bring up Wikipedia is if I know something's like

227
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:40.039
dead wrong right for sure. And it's like well, is

228
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.399
this true? And I'll play it off like that, like

229
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.080
it that's not really true? Is it that you get

230
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:49.120
the real story? But then they laugh because you realize

231
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:53.159
it's bullshit, Whereas there's other people that, if you're scripted,

232
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:58.039
are like, well it says in Wikipedia this, So how

233
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.039
do you feel about that? And I think you're about

234
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.000
to get from the artist it's fucking bullshit.

235
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.600
Shut up. Yeah, that's the way I think, or.

236
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:10.000
At least like a version of that, right exactly. Yeah.

237
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:14.120
So now that you got the bug again, Yeah, and

238
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.519
then a big way yeap, what else do we want

239
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:18.799
to expect from you guys?

240
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:19.600
Well?

241
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.080
October third, which is coming up really fucking soon. We're

242
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.919
playing in Birmingham at Furnace Fest. It's another festival. Yeah,

243
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.120
and then after that we don't have any plans because

244
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:29.240
the year's coming to an end.

245
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:30.039
I'm actually going to.

246
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.759
Japan with my kid nice yea, and they're gonna go

247
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:34.399
hang out there and just kind of like decompress a

248
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.200
little bit and then get back. It's the holiday season,

249
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.679
but in that time we're gonna start planning future for

250
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:40.200
next year.

251
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:41.879
I love it. How old is your kid?

252
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:43.759
She's about to turn eight? In two weeks.

253
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:45.480
Wow, yeah, it's fun age.

254
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.759
Oh yeah, right, yeah, she's the best, man. I fucking

255
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:48.120
love her.

256
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.000
That's so great to hear. How does she love your music?

257
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.360
She actually likes it a lot. Yeah, it's funny.

258
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:54.559
I played her new song in the car and I

259
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.080
didn't tell her anything about it, and she's like, Dad,

260
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:57.000
I really liked that song.

261
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.159
And I was like, oh, oh that was cool.

262
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.440
Yeah maybe really what a great feeling.

263
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.559
Yeah, And I think that's also what's different nowadays, Like

264
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.120
is there was not one thing my dad would have

265
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.879
liked about any of my music when I was younger.

266
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:12.360
Yeah, it's a different.

267
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:16.600
Time now where parents, grandparents' kids are all going to

268
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.279
these type of festivals together.

269
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.840
That would ever happen. Dude.

270
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:21.759
On that note, I was telling someone this the other day.

271
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.480
The thing that blows my mind right now, that really

272
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.159
blows my mind is I'm forty one. Okay, when I

273
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.919
was in high school, Well, sorry, I should do with

274
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.480
the reverse order the kids in high school now that

275
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.120
keep listening to bands like mine from our era, because

276
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.960
there's a lot, like a lot that would be the

277
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.960
same as if I listened to ac DC when I

278
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:43.039
was in high school.

279
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.519
Right and I'm just like, wait, no one would ever

280
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.000
do that.

281
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.519
I talk about it all the time because I was

282
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:51.600
like at Slayer's first show ever, Metallica's first show ever,

283
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.919
and I talk about it all the time, Like, no

284
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.919
way me and my friends would go see a sixty

285
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.840
some odd year of Metallica. Yeah, yeah, like Metallica now.

286
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.120
And then I see them out in the crowd, I'm like, yeah,

287
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:05.360
we would have never gone to see them.

288
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:05.639
Yeah.

289
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:06.879
Like when I was in high school, I was listening

290
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.039
to slip Knot and Corn and Blink Went two and

291
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:10.519
like all the bands that were new, you know what

292
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:12.759
I mean, like the new bands that were right out

293
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:13.639
in the world.

294
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.000
I wasn't listening to vance from the eighties, I know,

295
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.759
but that is what's happening now. It's really interesting.

296
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:19.879
It really is a trip.

297
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.600
Like I was here for Slagher the other night, obviously,

298
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.279
and there was no empty space anywhere.

299
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:28.000
I believe it.

300
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:32.279
And I'm like, this is wild because listen, I've seen

301
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.000
them loads of times, but we were the same age

302
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.399
almost basically, so we hang out. Yeah, and they were

303
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:41.799
like your contemporaries and I look up there, I'm like,

304
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.720
I can't believe these kids are like Mausian to this

305
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.399
band that is full of a bunch of people in

306
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:49.440
the early sixties.

307
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.320
Yeah, it's kind of wild, right, it blows my mind.

308
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.879
That's just the world has changed, right, Yeah, if.

309
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.799
You ways said that to me, like, oh, go see

310
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.600
this band, they're all sixty fuck you.

311
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.639
Another huge fund mental difference have noticed is that there's

312
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.759
so much less genre segregation now. Yes, Like when I

313
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.559
was a kid, it was like, oh, I like pop punk,

314
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.039
I like punk rock, I like metal whatever. It's like,

315
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.399
oh okay, and then your whole life is at everything

316
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:14.080
about you is defined by that. And now like people

317
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.960
are they like everything. They just like literally everything.

318
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.360
Which I love that because too. I hated the gate

319
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:21.600
keeping back in the eighties. It was even worse than

320
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.279
in your time because like I had long hair, I

321
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:25.480
couldn't go to a punk show.

322
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:27.000
Yeah, I'd get my ass b.

323
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.519
Yeah, it was just too like specific, right, you.

324
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.000
Had to like I was a thrash metal head. That's

325
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.159
what you listen to. Yeah, thrash metal, and that's it.

326
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.759
Maybe a little other things, but that are close, like death.

327
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:38.720
Metal or black metal.

328
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:42.679
Yeah, you can't listen to this band because they don't

329
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:43.720
fit what we like.

330
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:45.080
Or what we look like.

331
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.360
Yeah, and it's just like, bro, it's not that serious.

332
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.799
Like I can like this too, And I.

333
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.960
Don't get how artists are boxing like that, because to me,

334
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.639
the whole idea of being an artist is expressing yourself.

335
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.480
It doesn't mean I have to play this music. We

336
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.559
all have vibes, we all feelings at different times.

337
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:03.679
A lot of fans don't understand that.

338
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.559
Like when you make our record as a bunch of

339
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.720
people that are artists, like all the things that influence

340
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:11.559
what you decide to put on that record are like

341
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.320
direct influences of your life in that moment or what

342
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:16.720
got you to that point or whatever, right, and then

343
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.799
every time you go back to do it again, all

344
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.519
those things have changed because you're growing and getting older

345
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:24.080
and experiencing new things in your life. And there's no

346
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:27.360
way that you can ever, like organically one percent recapture

347
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.320
who you were four years ago or eight years ago

348
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:30.120
or twelve years ago.

349
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:31.720
It just doesn't that's not possible.

350
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:32.480
Yeah.

351
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:35.679
Well, like even when Mentalllica, like there were twenty five

352
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.399
of us that were the hardcore original fans, Yeah, and

353
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:42.200
when the Black album came out, we're like, oh fuck them.

354
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.679
Their posers we can sell out. I know we're not

355
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:48.000
listening to them ever again yeah, type, but it's just

356
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.320
so stupid. Yeah, And I think this is what keeps

357
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.799
rock alive because that mentality is what almost killed metal. Yeah,

358
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:01.240
and because we have all these influences and people like

359
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.840
different things. You can have a festival like Louder than

360
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.360
Life that can have an acid bath and have a Slayer,

361
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:14.399
but can also have your band, could have insane clown posse,

362
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.000
like the list could go on of the different types

363
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.159
of genres that can be here as one big, happy family.

364
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.639
That's the key, and the fans are just like, yeah,

365
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:26.919
I'm about it. This is a great and it's good.

366
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.000
We I hate on each other, let's all just love

367
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.759
each other. That's what metal's about. That's what punk's about,

368
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:36.120
you know, it's unity, it's family. And thank god for

369
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.120
bands like you and other bands coming up now that

370
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.279
are keeping that alive and growing the genre by not

371
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.159
being gatekeepers.

372
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:45.519
Yeah.

373
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.240
Hey, that's so lame, wouldn't Yeah, I'm not about that

374
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:48.799
at all.

375
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:51.799
Well, Like even with the labels, the genre labels that's

376
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:55.399
designed to separate everybody, Like why do you need to

377
00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:01.480
be a post hardcore metal core, death, that old technical.

378
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.399
I could go on with the list of what the

379
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:06.120
micro genre could be.

380
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.919
Yeah, it's obsession over labels.

381
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:10.519
Oh, I fucking hate it.

382
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:12.399
It's like there's always feel like if I can't label it,

383
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:13.679
I'm gonna lose my mind.

384
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.879
It's like, you don't need to it doesn't matter, doesn't

385
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:17.120
need a.

386
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.519
Label exactly like I don't want to know what the

387
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:21.200
label is.

388
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:23.159
I just want to know that's good music and I

389
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:23.600
like it.

390
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:25.240
I agree, I agree, And.

391
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.120
That's what you guys offer. So that's a killer.

392
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.919
And you have any last words you want to share

393
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.240
with the listeners that we haven't covered already.

394
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:35.039
Just that today made me really realize how much I

395
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.679
appreciate what I get to do, like on a spiritual

396
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.840
fucking level. Like it felt incredibly nice and I don't know, man,

397
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:44.240
sometimes people do take things for granted. And I really

398
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.919
realized to say, like, how fucking like privileged I am

399
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:48.799
to be able to do this, And I just I

400
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.440
don't know, I'm just really happy right now.

401
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:51.519
I love it.

402
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.799
That's the most important part, because we need a lot

403
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.679
more happiness in the world. And I thank god I've

404
00:16:57.679 --> 00:16:59.919
been here at loud in life and I haven't watched

405
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.639
or seeing any bit of news of what's going on

406
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:06.079
outside these gates, because all that matters is what's here

407
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.720
and our family here and showing how we can all

408
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:13.839
unite together from all walks of life and screwed a division,

409
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:15.880
screwed to being an asshole.

410
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.400
No matter who you are, It doesn't matter what you are.

411
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.960
Let's just all love each other, get along and respect

412
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.440
each other's differences instead of fighting each other's.

413
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:29.000
Yep, you can never have too much positivity, trust me,

414
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.000
especially not right now.

415
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:30.680
I love it.

416
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.839
I'm all about that, and I'm all about you being

417
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:35.640
