This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures of

00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.000
Pipe Man W four c Y Radio. I'm very excited

9
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.880
about this interview because it's with an old friend of

10
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.400
mine who is one of the most amazing musicians and

11
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.040
I thought back then and still do now, one of

12
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:15.120
the most amazing basis ever. So let's welcome to the show.

13
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:16.760
Joey Burr from Armored Saint.

14
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.760
How are you hello, I'm good, Thank you for having me.

15
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.840
Dean's good to see you again. Oh yeah, it's an

16
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:23.640
honor to be here.

17
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:28.480
I know. It's kind of amazing because we first met

18
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.480
because I saw this cool ass picture in Bad magazine

19
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.959
and went to this show on Halloween with you and

20
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:42.079
Wasp and Headshaker, and now here we are. Was it

21
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.640
like forty or more years later? Yeah, and again we're

22
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.920
going to talk about you and Wasp touring.

23
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:52.000
So touring.

24
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.799
Yeah, it's so wild to me and so cool to me.

25
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.480
What does it feel like? That's the first thing I

26
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:03.560
asked to be touring with Wasp after all these years.

27
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:06.799
Well it's great. I mean we just we did a

28
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.919
tour with them in twenty twenty two and it was

29
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:15.520
just us and them, and you know, that tour was

30
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.759
a big success. It did great, tons of shows, sold out,

31
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:26.800
and you know, even internally the two bands got you know,

32
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.319
we just got together with them and they're such great people.

33
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.800
Everyone in the band was just a total sweetheart. Everyone

34
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.719
was great, Their crew was amazing, treated us like gold.

35
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.719
So for us, it was just like a really, really,

36
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.000
really great time. So when they asked us to come

37
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.759
back and do this tour with them, we were super

38
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.759
stoked and honored because you know, it was just such

39
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.400
a great time. It's a cool package. I think it

40
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:56.120
gives people a glimpse of, you know, across the nation

41
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.120
what it was like, you know, to see these two

42
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.680
bands back in the early eighties when it was first

43
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.159
starting out. Really so yeah, we're super stoked, you know,

44
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.680
going back out with Wasp and looking forward to it.

45
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.319
Yeah, And it's kind of a flashback to a time,

46
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.280
as put in your own words to me in conversations

47
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:22.520
in the past, of not leaving your zip code.

48
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.319
Exactly. No, it's we you know, we're really excited to

49
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.199
go out on this, so it's going to be cool.

50
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.560
Yes, And so how would you say this tour is

51
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.800
different than the last one you did in twenty twenty

52
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.960
two or is it just kind of a continuation.

53
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:49.719
Well, I don't know about I don't know about was necessarily,

54
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.479
Although what's different about Wasp per Se is that they

55
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.080
were doing they're doing their entire first record and in

56
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.759
its entirety, so they're playing the whole first record and

57
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.120
then at the end they're doing probably some best of

58
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.240
hits after that. So that's really cool. And I haven't

59
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:10.759
seen the production, but from what I hear, it's going

60
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.919
to have shades of what they used to do back

61
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:18.319
in the old days, which if I remember correctly, that

62
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.600
involved like fire and blood and meat and yeah. Yeah,

63
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.279
So like I'm I'm I'm like totally into it. I'm

64
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.439
totally into seeing what they're going to do. And for us,

65
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.800
you know, we're we're just going out and we're just

66
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.480
going to give people the best of It's great for

67
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.519
us because this run has in particular, has a lot

68
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:44.680
of cities that we've either never played to ever or

69
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.480
or played in a very very long time. I'm talking

70
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:52.000
like like thirty years a long time. So wow. So

71
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.319
for us, it's really cool because we get to play

72
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.680
these places that we just haven't been to. I haven't

73
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.959
been able to go back to in a long time.

74
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.720
So we're you know, our set's going to be varied

75
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.959
depending on where we are. If we're playing some places

76
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.040
that we have played in the last ten years or something,

77
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.199
we'll probably mix it up. We'll probably throwing. We have

78
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:18.439
some deep cuts that we have rehearse, songs rehearsed and

79
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.360
stuff like that. But when we get into places like

80
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.800
you know, Calgary and places we've never played, we're going

81
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.800
to be playing all the hits because those people have

82
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.240
never seen us. So we're just going to do jam

83
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.040
packed big hits and you know, we have so many hits.

84
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:40.360
Yeah, and you know, it's funny. I remember when you

85
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.160
kind of like tested some of those hits on us

86
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.800
back in the day, you know, and it was like

87
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.480
it was so funny, like some of the songs that

88
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:54.160
really did become hits where I saw you play for

89
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.519
like the first time, like as a test.

90
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.720
Yeah, I mean you you were you probably saw us play.

91
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.279
You know Kenny deliver in March of the Saint for

92
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.399
the very first time.

93
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.600
Yeah, totally. Yeah, So yeah, it like.

94
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.199
And I'm still playing that song every so.

95
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.759
I know, right, that's right, And you know it's funny

96
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.839
because I mean to me, I don't know, to me,

97
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.680
it just fits you guys all being together, like during

98
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.759
the years you've gone and done different side things and

99
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:36.560
gone different ways. But I think, just to me, the

100
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:41.079
way you guys look in my background is the way

101
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.519
it's always been armored Saint.

102
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.519
Well, you know, we we have a long history together.

103
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:54.480
You know you you already know this, but maybe your

104
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.240
viewers don't. But John and myself and Gonzo have known

105
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.680
each other since basically since the or grade and then

106
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.879
when we got into junior high school in seventh grade,

107
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.839
it's when we really became super tight friends and started

108
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.600
basically we had a gang, a gang, but like you know,

109
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.319
we're a group of people that were friends and it

110
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.439
was us and Phil was in there too because Phil

111
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.560
went to the same school. So that's what we just

112
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:27.839
started discovered. We started discovering music together at the same time.

113
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.279
And you know, we were friends a long time before

114
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:36.040
we even started the band. So you know, that's something

115
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.040
that's the lineage that goes very, very long and deep.

116
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.959
And of course Jeff Duncan came in the picture when

117
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.959
we were going through some changes in the mid eighties,

118
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.199
so Jeff's been a friend, a long time friend since

119
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.879
day one as well. So you know, it's like you said,

120
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.480
you know that this is this is who we are,

121
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.399
and we're proud of the fact that it's all the

122
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.920
same members. We don't take that very lightly. We take

123
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.959
it with you know, a lot of power and strength

124
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:09.560
gets us through the tough times. But you know, this

125
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.000
is the thing that we're we just hold pretty sacred,

126
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.199
you know. And I think that that I think that

127
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.480
I think that it translates. I think people get that,

128
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.319
people understand that, and I think that they appreciate it.

129
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.439
You know, it's not like Armored Saint broke up and

130
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.079
then you know John John Bush went solo and he's

131
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.720
calling an Armored Saint. So it's like it's like Armored

132
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:34.000
Saint and four other guys, you know, so that that's

133
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.399
not that's not what this is about, you know. So

134
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:42.080
we're pretty yeah, we're pretty honored and humbled that we

135
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.039
are able to do this with these same group of people.

136
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.200
Well, and how rare is it too, Like, you know,

137
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.360
very rare, even with Jeff. I mean he might as

138
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.080
well be from the very beginning. Although I missed Dave

139
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.519
a lot, and you know, Dave was a great human being,

140
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.320
you know, but yeah, you couldn't have found somebody better

141
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:03.720
to fill the spot.

142
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.759
I don't know, And you know, we talk about it

143
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.799
sometimes sometimes John introduces the band members on stage and stuff,

144
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.279
and he when he gets the Jeffer says, or here's

145
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.759
the new guy. And you know, Jeff's the new guy,

146
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.120
but he's been the band for like, you know, thirty

147
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.960
eight years or something like that. Right, here's the new guy,

148
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:27.759
Jeff duncan. But the fact is, as if like Dave

149
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:32.000
Pritchard were still here, we'd have three guitar players. We

150
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.799
just would because this is the family vibe we have.

151
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.039
So we'd be like, and you right.

152
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.080
Right, And you can always tell too, you know, you

153
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.399
can tell that you guys are just having fun up

154
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.039
there and having a good time, and after doing it

155
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.600
for this long, if you're not having fun, you're in

156
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.879
the wrong business, because this is a horrible business. If

157
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:55.200
you're not having fun.

158
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.360
Yeah, that's uh. You are speaking the truth when hundred

159
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.559
percent loud and clear.

160
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:08.919
Right, So, how how does this all come about? That

161
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.600
it comes round circle? Originally? Had it first happened that

162
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.600
you and Wasp in twenty twenty two played together, you know,

163
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.120
and then of course you felt the vibe that you

164
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.399
had back then, so you're now you're doing it again.

165
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.120
But how did it initially happen?

166
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:31.840
Well, to be quite honest, I believe that it came

167
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:38.039
through our booking agencies at the time. I'm not mistaken.

168
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:41.720
At the time we had the same booking agent, and

169
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.840
so the Wasp Tour was going out. It was an idea,

170
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.879
it was a concept. They were looking at dates and

171
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:55.320
routing and all that sort of thing, and then Blackie

172
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.399
I think it might have been Blackie's idea to bring

173
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:03.240
in a bit and as a support act that would

174
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:09.360
help sort of celebrate helping this sort of forty year celebration.

175
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.440
This is what it was billed as in twenty two,

176
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:16.360
was billed as the forty year anniversary. So it just

177
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.320
so happened that we were also going through a forty

178
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:25.039
year anniversary in twenty two. Our bands formed in eighty two,

179
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:29.720
so it was a sort of a revelation to our

180
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:32.320
booking agent and said, hey, you know what, I think

181
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:38.240
Armored Saint and Blackie was like, that's perfect. So that's

182
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:42.759
how it all came to be. And then it was

183
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.080
a really cool thing that they just decided to take

184
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.240
not a third band, they just had us in another

185
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.799
and us in it was just us in WASP. So

186
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.399
that made it even a more of sort of a

187
00:11:55.440 --> 00:12:02.600
package tour reflecting that forty year anniversary. So yeah, it

188
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.240
was so it was it was awesome. It was great,

189
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:10.720
and I think I'm guessing that they had such a

190
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:14.480
good feeling about that experience touring with us that when

191
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.720
they were looking at dates again for this tour, that

192
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.879
they came back to us and said, how about let's

193
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:22.519
do it again?

194
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:27.159
So nice. Yeah, well that's important too, because like you

195
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.919
have to be out on tour with a band that

196
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.759
you can gel with, and that makes sense, and so

197
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.519
I think it's just like putting on an old pair

198
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.679
of your best sneakers that you never want to get

199
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:39.000
rid of.

200
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:42.799
Yeah, that's arm sat parablel sneakers.

201
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.360
Well, what's even better would be if on the twenty

202
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:53.039
eighth at the Roseland Theater you come out in mentors' hoods.

203
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.039
Oh, that's right, that's what we did. The first time

204
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.200
you saw us on the Halloween we all came out

205
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.000
with black hoods. Right, it was cool.

206
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:06.399
That would be funny.

207
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:07.120
Yeah.

208
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:13.679
What else can we expect from after this tour is over?

209
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.559
What else can we expect from Armon Saint?

210
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.159
Well, we're writing a new record. We have about halfway done,

211
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:24.519
have about seven songs or so demoed, and we're continuing

212
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.000
to write and we're trying to get in the studio

213
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:32.360
in the spring of twenty five. That's our goal. Hopefully

214
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:36.000
we meet it. And yeah, so we have a new

215
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.159
record deal that we re signed with Metal Blade earlier

216
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:44.080
this year, so looking forward to making another record with

217
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.639
Metal Blade. And yeah, so we've been hard, hard working,

218
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.879
you know, working on new music and getting that done.

219
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.159
And you know, we may even do some writing while

220
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.120
we're out there on tour, although it's rather difficult to do.

221
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.399
But yeah, but you know, we're just going to keep

222
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.159
writing and concentrating on new music. And like I said,

223
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.559
our goal is to get in sometime in the spring.

224
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:09.320
Very cool.

225
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.679
So other than that, twenty five is looking kind of

226
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:17.960
light for touring because we want to make making the

227
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.320
record a priority. Yeah. So as of now, there's not

228
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.120
a whole lot going on. We are doing two shows though.

229
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.240
We're playing a big festival in Brazil called Bangers.

230
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:34.120
I've got to look in to press for that. When

231
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.039
I saw you on that, I was like, and I

232
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.960
saw the rest of the lamp, I'm like, hmm, I

233
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.879
know somebody in Sam and Paulo too that that has

234
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:43.240
been begging me to come there.

235
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:47.600
Perfect, you should come down. I've here. It's a great festival.

236
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:51.519
It used to be called Summer Breeze, but they changed

237
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.600
the name of it. It was basically the same Summer

238
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.399
Breeze that they have in Germany, but they licensed the

239
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:01.039
name of the festival. But it's since change names. But

240
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.600
it's the same festival. You know. It's a big festival,

241
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.279
twenty five thousand people plus, and it should be really great.

242
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.480
This will be our second time in South America. We

243
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.519
have a lot of crazy fans down there, so we're

244
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.440
really looking forward to playing there. That's on May the

245
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:17.679
second or third.

246
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.639
I forget and yeah, it's May second.

247
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:25.120
May second, Okay. Then the following weekend we come back

248
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.759
and we're playing at Sonic Temple and Columbus, which is

249
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.879
obviously another big festival you're aware of. Yeah, and we

250
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.600
don't get a lot of chances to play American festivals,

251
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.120
so this is a real treat for us to be

252
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.559
on this festival. So we're super stoked to be on that.

253
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:47.120
And that's on May ninth. So those two shows as

254
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.240
of now are the only two live shows we're doing

255
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:50.000
in twenty five.

256
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:52.879
Well, let me tell you one thing. Like I've been

257
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:55.639
doing all the Danny Wimmer festivals for years, and yes,

258
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.120
I've been bummed out. I've never seen you guys at

259
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:02.159
a Danny Wimmer festival and Sonic Temple since COVID, like

260
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:06.360
they've changed things around to where they weren't doing interviews.

261
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:09.919
So they're like, we'll give you a media pass, but

262
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.399
there's no interviews being done. I'm like, yeah, then I

263
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.360
don't need the media pass because I'm there to work.

264
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:20.039
But this year, if they decide not to do interviews,

265
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:23.679
I'll still get the media pass so I could so

266
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.200
I could see you guys there. Yeah, that way cool

267
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:32.600
as hell and uh you know, uh yeah that that one.

268
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.279
And they say in Brazil like the for the rock

269
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.080
metal community that the fans just go crazy at these

270
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:42.159
festivals in Brazil.

271
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:47.559
That's nutty. It's really nutty. I've I've only done I

272
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.120
don't think I've actually played a festival in South America.

273
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:55.600
I've only done club gigs or gigs. Yeah, I did

274
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.600
a bunch of shows of anthrocks. I did some shows

275
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:03.799
with Fates Warning and we armor Saint did one tour,

276
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:09.400
short tour of South America. But you're absolutely right. They

277
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:15.839
go nuts, like crazy, nuts, like you need a police

278
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:19.799
escort kind of nuts. Wow, I'm not exaggerating. They I

279
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.720
know you're crazy because they don't they don't get a

280
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.759
lot down there, and so whenever bands go down there,

281
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:30.880
they're really appreciative. And yeah, so I don't expect the

282
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.079
show to be really sick.

283
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.279
Yeah, well your show is always sick. So I'm looking

284
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:39.200
forward to it. I'm going to try to get one

285
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:42.880
on one of these WASP Tour shows. Maybe I'll do

286
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.599
Calgary one because by my co hosts, she's up in

287
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:49.799
Calgary and she covers some festivals with me, so maybe

288
00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:52.680
she's been begging me to come up there, and so

289
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.279
maybe I'll call her up and I'm like, Okay, I'll

290
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.039
come up there because there's a show there and.

291
00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.880
We'll go to that show November first, come on.

292
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.880
There it is. Well, I'm so stoked about this and

293
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:08.559
uh man, I'm stoked about Sonic Temple too. That's pretty

294
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:13.319
cool and well, I hope it keeps going and I

295
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.839
can't wait for the new album everybody's got. If they

296
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:18.680
don't know you guys, they need to check you out

297
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.519
because you guys are like the coolest band. And uh

298
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:27.039
of course you have always reminded me of Steve Harris

299
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.359
right from the very beginning, so they got to check

300
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:34.319
out you on base because you kick ass. And thank

301
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.119
you very much, thanks once again for being on the

302
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:39.440
Adventures of pipe Man, my old friend of.

303
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.240
Course, Dean, thanks for having me as always, always great

304
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.759
to see you and thanks for the time anytime. Brother.

305
