with our guest who are some badass musicians and probably

13
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.120
have some cool stories because we were talking before the interview,

14
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.319
and so let's welcome to the show.

15
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:11.519
Gigantum. How are you?

16
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:13.640
Yay?

17
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:20.359
So tell us about Gigantum. But if you were to,

18
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.400
just if somebody said tell me about your band, what

19
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:25.400
would the first thing that came to your head?

20
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:25.640
Be?

21
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.680
Loud and heavy, big, nice? But I say it with

22
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.640
a little bit more like emphasis, be like, we're lo loud,

23
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:35.200
we're heavy, we're so big.

24
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:37.200
See there you go.

25
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.599
Yeah, And how about how about you guys?

26
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.319
Do you what's the first thing comes to your guys heads?

27
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.920
I would say, like the band musically, it's just a

28
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.959
melting pot of genres, all the all this stuff that

29
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.480
we love listening to, just mixed up together and what

30
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.760
comes out. It seems seems to work pretty well for us,

31
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.280
so hopefully it does for everyone else to see.

32
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.799
And I love that, by the way, because we were

33
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.280
talking before the show about the old days where there

34
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.560
were so many gatekeepers and there were so little metal

35
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:11.919
heads and so many.

36
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.919
Gatekeepers, and it was just stupid.

37
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.479
Okay, you had the metals and the punks on different sides,

38
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.120
and that was always I thought stupid because we were

39
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.159
both getting our asses beat by the jocks in school.

40
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.840
We should have teamed up together instead of being against

41
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:33.639
each other. And like, I just think nowadays, if you're

42
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:40.599
not blending genres, then the music isn't authentic nowadays because

43
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.840
we all have all these influences and it seems like

44
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:51.439
metal in particular bands like follow this algebraic equation nowadays,

45
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.919
and that wasn't what metal was about. Ever, That's not

46
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:59.840
what rock is about. It should be just, you know,

47
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.120
blend of whatever you like. Nobody has to like one

48
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.879
specific thing, and then you come up with something that's unique,

49
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:08.000
and that is.

50
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:08.639
You, guys.

51
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.159
You had your own little spice to what you've like

52
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.280
put together. And then that becomes yours, and it's like

53
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.680
it's like most, like most music, you're building on what's

54
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:22.360
come before exist. It was a few exceptions, new kind

55
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:26.400
of music. I mean, what's that like? Show me what

56
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.719
that is? But I agree with you.

57
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:30.000
And you're right.

58
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.840
It is all built on what started before, Like everything

59
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:34.919
has built from that.

60
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:36.039
And it's funny.

61
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:40.240
In my lifetime, I've experienced that escalation because some of

62
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.840
the music you have now you wouldn't have anything close

63
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:43.879
to that when I was a.

64
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:44.919
Kid, you know.

65
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:50.319
So it's like, you know, what we considered heavy was

66
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.400
not probably heavy by today's standards, and.

67
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.800
So it helps Black Sabbath, I think, is super heavy still.

68
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.479
Heavy, you know, totally.

69
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:03.759
So I think it just depends on how how the

70
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.360
heavy was created, Like is it heavy because of the

71
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.599
the riff and the tempo? Or is it heavy because

72
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.400
of the type of pedal you're using? Or why is

73
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.600
it heavy? Like is it because it's drop d like

74
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:17.560
what makes it heavy?

75
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:18.519
You know?

76
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.480
What's interesting is that you brought up Black Sabbath, which

77
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:28.360
I think any metal head could agree is heavy. Okay, However,

78
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.399
one of my interviews made the news recently.

79
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:33.519
What Yes.

80
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.319
News, What should we say.

81
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.360
Okay, well, see you brought up Sabbath and basically withal

82
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:42.120
it was.

83
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.399
Carmine a peace.

84
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:49.319
Oh and he said that Sabbath was not metal and

85
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:50.439
that's what made the news.

86
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.720
Well maybe he's just jealous, because Vinny.

87
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.199
You could argue about that all day fighting.

88
00:04:58.279 --> 00:04:59.959
Don't listen to that grey.

89
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.439
Well it's all blues. Okay, yeah, it's all blues, but

90
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.480
it's attitude and heavy. Just then take it over it

91
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:12.920
just to say, you know, heavy comes in all different forms, sizes, shapes, sounds, slow, fast, whatever,

92
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.720
heavy for me, like a song can be. You know

93
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.040
there there's heavy music all over the place that has

94
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:18.680
nothing to do with.

95
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.839
Metal, right, yeah, you mention blues blues can be pretty

96
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.480
heavy at times.

97
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.759
I guess where all this stuff came from in my estimation.

98
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:35.040
So yes, So Blair, what what's the first thing comes

99
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.920
to your head when it comes to Gigantum.

100
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.120
Well, one of the first things that comes to my

101
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:46.560
head is fuzz because because I love I love the

102
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.439
sound that we get and everyone has their own particular

103
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.959
sound and yeah, it just works together really well. And

104
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.040
as far as Sabbath goes, I think the thing with

105
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.920
Sabbath is actually they actually started something that wasn't really

106
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.759
being done at the time, and it was heavier in

107
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.959
a lot of ways, but it was also they really

108
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.360
blended like a whole bunch of like different styles, different skills,

109
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.800
different you know, they kind of went dark a little

110
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.720
bit and and how they did music, and it wasn't

111
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.600
really happening like that back then. So they were kind

112
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.680
of the first ones and at least the ones that

113
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:29.439
were taking the stage that really really made it like famous,

114
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.240
so to speak. So I can kind of see how

115
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.040
metal kind of got from that and how why they're

116
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:41.759
kind of considered the beginning of metal. But to metal today,

117
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.040
I mean, they're definitely not metal metal, but they were

118
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.560
really kind of one of the first people that really

119
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.879
got it out there.

120
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:53.560
Going down that road.

121
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.480
But yeah, well and see that's that's the road.

122
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.680
In the Judas Priests. Yeah, they just won places in

123
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.399
their music that other people woren't necessarily. I mean, the

124
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.920
psychedelic really took their music places, but they put it

125
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.600
more in rock terms in terms, so.

126
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.800
And you know, it is funny because we mentioned these

127
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.759
different bands and that was basically the stages that I

128
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.519
went through in my life. It was like for me,

129
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.199
it was first Kiss because I wanted my first album

130
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.639
I ever owned. I wanted at Seaside Heights at the

131
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.680
Boardwalk because these cool looking characters on the album.

132
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.680
And that was the first Kiss album.

133
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:40.560
And then I actually got into the Beatles, and then

134
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:45.040
that led me to Sabbath, and Sabbath led me to Zeppelin,

135
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.800
and Zeppelin led me to Ozzy and then and then

136
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:53.360
Ozzie led me to like we were talking about before

137
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:57.759
the interview, like the La club scene, like Motley Crue

138
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:04.639
before they were glam and then Slayer Metallica and then

139
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.199
you know, and that I went through that whole every

140
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.680
phase of metal type of things.

141
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:17.680
I think that today because there is such a like

142
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.480
overlapping genre and downs and stuff. I think part of

143
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.360
that came from rock wasn't doing so well for a

144
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.680
while there because it was like disco was happening and

145
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.440
then rap came and it was like I remember with

146
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.600
the Grammys and stuff, it was just like there was

147
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.200
no rock bands anymore being presented, and it was like,

148
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.159
what the fuck is happening with rock? And so I

149
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:43.519
think people like you know, behind the scenes started to

150
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.039
talk to each other more and things, you know, and

151
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:51.399
other things came out, which kind of you know, it's

152
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:55.120
because of that that we're here talking about it. You know,

153
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.080
it's like we haven't died out and we're not going anywhere.

154
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:00.559
But it was a little tough there for a while.

155
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.360
It's kind of doing that now too, Like, yeah, is

156
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.960
like really prevalent. It's really hard to have other stuff

157
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.120
on the top twenty. I feel like, yeah, we have

158
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:12.879
a book, but we're huge.

159
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.360
I mean, you go to festivals now, and the Marcos

160
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:23.120
to festivals all the time everywhere of bands, and it's amazing.

161
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.200
There are so many bands out there now. I mean,

162
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.440
it's pretty incredible. There's so many bands, there's labels, and

163
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.080
you know, it's a big resurgence and it's like a

164
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:34.480
lot of good stuff that's happening.

165
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.240
It's funny because you mentioned the festivals, because I too,

166
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.879
Like I go on tour and I do radio coverage

167
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.879
at like all the Danny Wimmer festivals in the States,

168
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.080
plus a bunch of others. I go over to UK Europe,

169
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.600
and yeah, it does blow my mind that I'll be

170
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:55.519
a festival and there's like one hundred thousand metal heads there. Yeah,

171
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.679
the idea of that just blows my mind. And it

172
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.879
you know, it did die. You know, if you took

173
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.039
metal as an example, grunge kind of killed it for

174
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.639
a while. I think hair metal is really what killed it.

175
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:15.240
That's what a loud grunch, you know. But then it came back,

176
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.919
and it even seems now, even post COVID, that it's

177
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:21.960
even bigger than ever. And I think part of that is

178
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:25.200
because we need that kind of voice that is in

179
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:29.080
rock and roll, you know, like any part of rock

180
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:33.159
and roll. You know, I think that it's rock is

181
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.279
the great uniter, and we're in such a polarized world

182
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:38.759
that we need that.

183
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.440
Great united I vote for you, pipe man.

184
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.120
You know what's funny is I do have a campaign

185
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.519
on my show where I run for president. But every time,

186
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:54.440
so twenty sixteen, I actually had four.

187
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.200
Of my listeners vote for me.

188
00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:02.440
Wow, because hey, listen, we don't have any choices anymore.

189
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:07.799
So I would only just add the you know, if

190
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.320
you've been to any of the European the big European festivals,

191
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.399
they've been flying that flag song. Even when it was

192
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.720
kind of dead in the United States, it was going

193
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:15.519
strong in Europe.

194
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:20.559
So well, what I love too about the European festivals,

195
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.799
like I just did coverage for grass Pop and I

196
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:29.799
was watching machine Head and Deep Purple in the same day. Wow,

197
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.039
you know, like, I mean, come on, and that's the

198
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:36.879
way they do it great, which we're learning over here now.

199
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.879
Of again, blending genres. It's just not just one thing.

200
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.720
Hell Fest has a different stage for every genre. It's

201
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.360
kind of wild. It's like, Okay, if you're into death metal,

202
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.840
good to this stage. If you're into hardcore, go to

203
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.879
this stage. If you're into just you know, rock and roll,

204
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:57.720
good to this stage. And we definitely are starting to

205
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.759
learn here in the US because you're right, Europe has

206
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:04.879
always flown that flag, and it's so they're so into it.

207
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:09.080
Like bands that I thought were gone since the eighties

208
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:10.320
haven't been gone.

209
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.559
They've just been in Europe all this time.

210
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:14.600
Europe.

211
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.840
It's it's wild. You know.

212
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.279
Well the Marba comes to mind, like they didn't come

213
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.799
to the United States for like twenty years, right, and

214
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.799
they're like they had everything they need.

215
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:29.039
In Europe exactly exactly. So yeah, you got, yeah, you

216
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.039
have to get over there. Do you guys have any

217
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.720
festivals you have your eye on playing here?

218
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:36.519
We want to.

219
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.840
Play all the festivals anything anywhere.

220
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.639
We'll put that out there because yeah, we need to

221
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.200
get you at I'm doing Rockklahoma in a couple of weeks.

222
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:46.440
That's a fun festival.

223
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.559
If you have pull us over there in Oklahoma.

224
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.440
Well, we'll have to late for Rockklahoma this year, maybe

225
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:58.000
next year, but yeah, let's definitely get you into some festivals. Yeah,

226
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.960
because you guys do rock and think everybody's got to

227
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.080
check out your music and see why you should be

228
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:04.919
at these festivals.

229
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.559
And we could be at all different stages because we

230
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.519
have a little bit of this, a little bit of that,

231
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.320
so you can we can fit everywhere we can.

232
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:22.399
That's why I dig about you guys, and that's why

233
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.879
I think about you guys, is that you could fit

234
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.639
on a stage, like like I said before, even like

235
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:32.120
I'm a hardcore thrash metal head, but I love all

236
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:33.480
kinds of genres.

237
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:33.799
You know.

238
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.240
That's what people don't think. You don't have to umber. Yeah,

239
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.399
you don't have to love one genre. It's like it's

240
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.519
it's even funny. There's this place Tomorrow Night near me

241
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:46.000
that every week they have a live Latin band. I'm like,

242
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.039
I go because it's a lot of fun, you know, lives.

243
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.559
I think that's where we made the mistake during the lockdown.

244
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:56.159
People got so pissed off we didn't have live music

245
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:59.080
because listen, live music, there's nothing better.

246
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:02.240
It's the great, you know for sure.

247
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.360
So and you guys, speaking of live music, you guys

248
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:10.399
have a show coming up on the seventh.

249
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:15.120
YEP our record release. We're so excited. So we're really

250
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.840
happy that our EPs finally coming out.

251
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:17.879
Nice.

252
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.399
So what do you have in store for that record

253
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.200
release show and party?

254
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:29.360

00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:37.759

256
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.240

257
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:42.320

Nice and definitely people have to get your merch because

263
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.879
that's the only way a band survives nowadays. It's not

264
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.440
like the old days. There's no record label giving you

265
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.919
a fet or anything like that. You know, where you

266
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.279

Are there any other things we want to tell the

277
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.559
listeners that we have not covered yet that they need

278
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:45.799
to know?

279
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:46.440
Mm?

280
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:51.720
Will you put us on the spot?

281
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.200
Oh? Look at that? I stumped you.

282
00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:59.200
Yeah. Well, working on music, so we're excited to be

283
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:03.960
recording again and and you know, doing stuff again. So

284
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:06.960
get this, get this music so then you can be

285
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.360
ready for our next batch.

286
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:14.000
Nice and uh, you guys definitely are badass. So everybody

287
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.679
has to check you out, and you know we'll have to.

288
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:21.639
Everybody's got to show up. Where is that record release show?

289
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.120
In part it's at Nightingales, you know, the famous Nightingales

290
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.440
rehearsal studios. They have like a thing once a month

291
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:31.279
and it's just like a hangout and a fun time.

292
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.440
So I thought that would be cool for us to

293
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:34.799
do our release there.

294
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:38.080
Okay, so the whole world has to show up now.

295
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:41.360
September seven, Yes, and.

296
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:46.720
Our single came out today for all my friends, did

297
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:48.440
you listen to it? I see you have the artwork

298
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:48.879
behind you.

299
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.159
Absolutely, it's pretty I love the artwork too, it's pretty cool. Yeah,

300
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.519
I'm totally into artwork too. Being old school. I was

301
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:59.639
talking about this earlier. You know, we bought albums by

302
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.159
looking at the artwork. You had no clue what the

303
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:03.200
band sounded like.

304
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:04.119
Yeah.

305
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:06.079
They say not to judge a book by the cover,

306
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.279
but that's how we used to do things.

307
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:10.880
Back in the day. I mean I discovered great stuff,

308
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.920
just beast on the cover, just you know, taking your

309
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:14.440
entire records used to take a shot.

310
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.680
Yeah, no doubt. I used to get that examples.

311
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:20.519
But I just still have these records and was just like,

312
00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:22.680
so glad I took I took a chance on these things.

313
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:23.200
Yeah.

314
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.039
And I used to get BAM magazine so I could

315
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.200
see who look cool as what show I could go to.

316
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.680
So I liked Rip with Rip magazine, and there was

317
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:36.759
this one journalist, long and friend, and I would just

318
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.279
read anything that he wrote about that journalist, like we

319
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.720
had the same musical taste. I would buy everything that

320
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.599
he would say and I would always be happy.

321
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.359
So I used to go to this record store in

322
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.759
the Valley, OZ Records, and there was this record clerk

323
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:58.640
there who When me and any of my teenage friends

324
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.119
would come by, he would recommend albums to us.

325
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:05.640
Here, check this out. You know, my first Venom album

326
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:06.480
he handed to me.

327
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.920
I think that's how everyone got.

328
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:13.079
Their right right and uh, that that's Brian Slagle, the

329
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:14.640
owner of Metal Blade Records.

330
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:19.519
He was he was so brilliant. He was so brilliant.

331
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:22.359
He started his record label while he was working as

332
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:23.599
a record store clerk.

333
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:28.720
That dude really had it. He knew what he was doing.

334
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:30.680
Oh, no doubt, obviously.

335
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.720
Say that now, But just look at all the stuff

336
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:35.599
that was on all the all the amazing bands on

337
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:36.079
his label.

338
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:40.160
Oh, anybody that came out of la back in the

339
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:43.920
eighties were on his label. Anybody, it didn't matter who

340
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:48.039
it was. And that was I told him years later,

341
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:51.720
I'm like, man, that was a brilliant marketing plan. He's like,

342
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:54.119
I was just a record store clerk. Like it wasn't

343
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:56.680
even like he was very humble about was it. Like

344
00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:58.720
some brilliant planet just worked out.

345
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:01.519
It was also a whole lot, like the whole tape

346
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.200
trading thing was happening back then. There's a lot of

347
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.599
underground a lot of traffic in the undergrounds, if you

348
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.039
if you had your ear to that a little bit,

349
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:10.559
you got hooked up with some really great stuff.

350
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:11.799
Oh no doubt.

351
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:16.680
I still have the Metallica demo that from tape trading

352
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.440
that you can't even tell what it says on it

353
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:24.880
because it was like recorded over like fifty times. You

354
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:31.279
have no clue its metallic. So yeah, that's when we

355
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:35.599
we gotta bring that back. You guys can start a

356
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:37.200
new tape trading.

357
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.799
You know, thinking about that recently about mail order like

358
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.799
a fan club like mail order, send self address, stamp,

359
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:46.960
envelope for somefing you know remember you used to be

360
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.400
able to do that with bands. Yeah, and you know,

361
00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:53.039
just to do like it's you the whole online stuff

362
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:59.240
too easy, send mail. Yeah about starting that up, and

363
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:01.440
you're what do you think about that?

364
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:03.079
I think it's a great idea.

365
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.920
I think I think it's great. I love it.

366
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:08.519
It's like back in the day we had those little

367
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:13.200
like job handmade newspapers for the tape trading, Like that's

368
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.640
how you it would be like send to this po box.

369
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:18.799
Yeah, I used to. I used to do that. If

370
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:20.720
I moved to a new place, first thing I did

371
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.960
was I look for the local music mag and like

372
00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:26.400
signed up for ship and did all that.

373
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:30.839
I think a lot of people don't get this part

374
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:32.680
of it, what we're talking about.

375
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:36.119
Like because we're because we're seniors.

376
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:39.599
Maybe that might be it. But you know, it's like

377
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.880
the people that saved me. I used to like metal.

378
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:47.599
I'm like, oh, well, you probably never did if you

379
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:52.920
used to, if you used to, like come on, but

380
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.480
