PipemanRadio Interviews Lock Horns at Bloodstock Open Air 2025.

The Pipeman Radio tour landed at The UK’s biggest independent metal festival featuring not only some of the biggest bands in Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, but also some of the best emerging metal music out of the UK and Europe competing in Metal 2 The Masses for a spot to play on New Blood Stage. The festival also features The Sophie Lancaster Stage dedicated to the memory of Sophie being brutally beaten and murdered just for being Goth and different. Sophie’s story particularly resonating with anyone who has been bullied, abused, or attacked for simply being who they are. The mission of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation is to stamp out prejudice, hatred and intolerance everywhere. This festival is more than just great music, fun, awareness, and togetherness. It's a family driven DIY Festival that cares where there ar eno outsiders. We join together for a common cause.

00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:08.679
Hi, you have lunto Yes, that's true.

2
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.279
For see Wow, crazy Young.

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.039
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:19.519
Man W four C Y Radio.

5
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.640
And I'm here with Lockhorn's. My name's Alex. I am Reese.

6
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:25.559
Nice here at Bloodstock.

7
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:26.600
How does that feel?

8
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:28.960
Fucking great? Mine, It's great to be boxed. We were

9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:30.839
here back in twenty nineteen.

10
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:32.399
Wow, it's been a while.

11
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.240
Yeah, and then the world ended for a while. Yeah,

12
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:36.359
and we're very thankful.

13
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.880
You guys got a new album that's going to be dropping.

14
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.759
And what I really like about the new album is

15
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:47.600
that you have added an element of experimental and I'm

16
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.240
all about that because tell you a funny story, I

17
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.200
was a kid playing guitar and my dad's like, you

18
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.640
should give that up, you stuck. I'm like, I'm just

19
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.240
experement with it. I want to hear what sounds I

20
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.920
can make a I want to create something that hasn't

21
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.680
been done before. And that's the way I look at

22
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:09.599
your new album.

23
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:11.879
We're trying to that's it we're doing. Man. You know,

24
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:13.040
we're in an experiment.

25
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.840
We're trying to see what emotional tones we can get

26
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.959
out of the instruments and the same with the vocals

27
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.280
and more tripped out. The more experimental it is, the

28
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.959
more I feel like I can express myself and feel

29
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.000
like I'm more in touch with my own down.

30
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.519
And you know, basically, if you're an artist, you don't

31
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.519
want to play the same as you did as a

32
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:35.239
garage man. You want to constantly evolve and perfect your craft.

33
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.719
And like Ali said.

34
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.920
In interview one time, when they ask why bring me

35
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.920
to Rise and it keeps changing things up, he goes,

36
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:44.959
while I want to write the same song over and

37
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:45.519
over again.

38
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:46.519
Yeah, exactly.

39
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.439
We're all about writing the music that we want to

40
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.519
listen to. Right, we're massive Michuga funds and everyone is,

41
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.159
so you can probably hear.

42
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.439
That influence coming in a lot.

43
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.879
But at the same time, our influences do change, like

44
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.640
almost weekly at this point. Like Fake Kublai is a

45
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.560
big one for us at the minute. I think that's

46
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.240
very different to Michuga. Yeah, so it's all just about

47
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.439
what we're feeling at the time, what sort of riffs

48
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:11.280
are coming to mind.

49
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.039
But yeah, we just write what we like.

50
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:13.599
See.

51
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.479
I love that because that makes you a true musician. Yeah,

52
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.599
because I find there's a lot of metal bands nowadays

53
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.800
that they follow like a formula. Yeah, metal is not

54
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:29.560
a formula type of music, so to me, that says

55
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.800
no offense to them. But if you're falling formula, do

56
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:38.360
you really know your craft or are you just going through? Okay,

57
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:39.919
if I do this, this and this.

58
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.080
Yeah, I felt like more like in the eighties and

59
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.800
the nineties, metals had more of sort of a punk

60
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:46.719
rock essence to it.

61
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:47.639
You know. There wasn't this.

62
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.680
Sort of strict like makes everything sound.

63
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.800
Really you know like this, and it was more.

64
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.639
It was wilder and it was free and stuff, you know,

65
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:55.680
And that's I think a lot of our influences come

66
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.520
from that, just making things as alive as possible.

67
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.919
Since you mentioned the eighties, that's my battle vest from

68
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:04.280
nineteen eighty one.

69
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.199
Well, very nice. I can smell it from here, man.

70
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.919
And you'll see exactly what you're talking about.

71
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:12.000
Yeah, that's awesome.

72
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:17.759
We have GBH and Metallica, I have all kinds of

73
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:18.879
punk and metal.

74
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.400
All over here. Yeah. Yeah, that's it because that's the

75
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.199
way it was. We're trying to bring it back right,

76
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:25.319
And I.

77
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.639
Think that's cool because you know, it's funny you brought

78
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.759
that up because I've said before, Like you go back

79
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.560
to the eighties, there wasn't so many genres of metal.

80
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.680
There weren't so many bands, and they all sounded different.

81
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.919
Even it was a big time fresh metal head, the

82
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.479
Big four Fresh don't sound anything alike.

83
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:47.759
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the way it should be.

84
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.680
Yeah, But nowadays you have bands like, let's say they're

85
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.479
in metalcore. They metal core has to sound like this,

86
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:58.000
death core has to sound like this, and you just

87
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:02.360
go through each one of these little micro sub genres here. Yeah,

88
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.039
it's like you're putt in this box. Artists should never

89
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:06.919
be in a box.

90
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:07.360
Yeah.

91
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:08.840
Yeah, we don't really put it in a box, but

92
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.400
we'll try to make it, keep it proggy and highly

93
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.039
highly emotional stuff too, you know.

94
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:15.439
But I'm down to get weird with it and get

95
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.279
ar two with it, you know exactly.

96
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.079
We're right what we want and then whatever people want

97
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.120
to label it as, that's fine.

98
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.759
Like we don't label it as anything, Barla.

99
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:27.240
I love that so because I hate labels, says again,

100
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.680
you're an artist. What if you want to play like

101
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.360
you were imaging before. But if you're in this vibe

102
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.279
and you want to write this, you want to play this,

103
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.560
that to me is a true musician and a true

104
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:38.720
artist exactly.

105
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.120
Like like I said, we'll like funny you say that.

106
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.000
Like a couple weeks ago, we started working on a

107
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.439
new song and it's basically Animals as leaders. It's like

108
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.600
completely different than what the latest album would have been. Like,

109
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.759
so it's really just where our tists are lying at

110
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.800
the time. You know, Yeah, I think we're what we're

111
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:53.199
listening to.

112
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:54.959
So absolutely.

113
00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:00.199
So what was that one moment that you knew this

114
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.959
is what you need to do, Like that one moment

115
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:07.839
when you were younger you decided music is my life.

116
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.879
I grew up around it, to be honest, Like my

117
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.959
mom teaches piano, my dad used to be a guitar teacher.

118
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.480
He was in Bonds and all growing up. My brother

119
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:18.519
does music too, So it was just always there.

120
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:20.680
It was almost like not like you.

121
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.199
Had to do it, but it wasna like you had

122
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:23.879
no choice.

123
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.560
Yeah exactly.

124
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.879
But it took over everything, took over my life. So

125
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.879
it's all I think about. Really, he's being a musician.

126
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.199
I love it. Yeah, pretty much same here. I grew

127
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:34.480
up listening to my parents' records.

128
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.079
I always had a good sound system in the house,

129
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:38.639
and my mother was an art teacher too, so there

130
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:39.839
was already a sort of an.

131
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.560
Arty kind of element to it.

132
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.519
I think the moment it really clicked was when I

133
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.759
first heard Korn for the first time on MTV. You know,

134
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.000
I hadn't heard anything that heavy before, and I hadn't

135
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.480
heard anything so new sounding as well, you know, and

136
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:53.319
it was just fresh.

137
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:54.040
It took off, you know.

138
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.519
From there I got into like loads of slip Nott

139
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:58.399
and then from then it grew from metal and went

140
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.920
growing into the other genres and started to get an

141
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.920
appreciation for hip hob and then is everything really you know.

142
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.920
See, And that's cool too, because back in the early

143
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:13.120
eighties mid eighties we weren't allowed to do that. It's

144
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.399
like if you were a long hair which I was,

145
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.360
I wasn't allowed to go to punk shows right you

146
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.759
get your ass beat right, and vice versa. And it

147
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:28.319
was stupid. Why should you only like one type of music?

148
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.959
I don't get that. If you like music, music is music.

149
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.360
I think I was a bit like that when I

150
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.199
first heard metal, though, I was like, for like the

151
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.319
next five years, I didn't listen to anything else. I

152
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.120
was like, everything else is crap and old metal is

153
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.879
where it's at something like I definitely on that face

154
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:45.480
at one stage.

155
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.839
It's like, but I think we all did, yeah, exactly.

156
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.480
But now I just want to find more new stuff

157
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.560
I've never heard before, like I have, Like there's so

158
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.920
many bonds coming out these days that do not sound

159
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.600
like anyone from the past. I couldn't link them to

160
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.439
anyone from the past. Like I don't make anyone soigns likes.

161
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:02.879
Unique.

162
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:07.120
Nobody even has his voice, yeah, definitely don't. Like I've

163
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.839
never in all these years heard a band that had

164
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:11.720
his voice.

165
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.120
Yeah, because he's not voice, and then you have the guitarist.

166
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.240
It's that this type of voice as well, and like

167
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.000
that combination, like it is what makes them knocklus it's

168
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.519
somebody else as well, Like certain things we do makes

169
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:23.120
us who we are.

170
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.120
So yeah, Like even you got the bands like Eye

171
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:31.079
Prevailing stuff to have the dirty vocals, clean vocals in

172
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.240
the eighties that didn't exist, and we went and I

173
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.920
thought it was weird, ye you know that have any

174
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.839
clean vocals, but I love it. Or like you have

175
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:45.160
bands like Ginger where she's got this brutal voice but

176
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.879
then this very melodic, feminine voice, and I love that too.

177
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.279
That I could potentially lend us to.

178
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.040
And the only band I've heard of science somewhat like

179
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:57.279
Lockhorns is Ginger.

180
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.800
Nice out door Ginger like so good.

181
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.040

Thank you thank you very much.

204
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:02.679
Michelle Kerr was my press officer, my entire fucking career

205
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:08.639
here in the UK, my entire career with Machine. She

206
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:12.320
recently passed away and it was a very, very sad day.

207
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:14.960
And I can tell you the reason that I'm gonna

208
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.200
tell this story is because she was family. She was

209
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:25.960
Bloodstock family. She was heavy metal UK family. Most of

210
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.639
the hass that you know and love, you probably heard

211
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:36.279
of because of that woman right there. Slip Knots, Slayer, Machinehead,

212
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:42.960
Trivium kills which engage, hey breed, you name it. She

213
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:47.080
helped lift everybody up. Man. She helped lift everybody up,

214
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.679
and in so many ways, she helped make this entire

215
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:56.240
music scene, this incredible, beautiful community that lives here at Bloodstock. Man,

216
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.879
she helped make it. So, ladies and gentlemen, please make

217
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.240
