Man W four C Y Radio. I'm pretty excited about

our next guest, who is a US tour just perform

10
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.040
that riot Fest one of my favorite festivals, and I

11
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.079
was just at it. Was only able to make it

12
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.840
Sunday due to death in the family, so I was

13
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.760
bummed out that I missed their set.

14
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:17.560
But we're here.

15
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.480
Now and I did see some I did find some

16
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.680
clips a set and man may killed.

17
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.519
It at riot Fest. So welcome to the show. Lord

18
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:29.719
of the Lost, how are you?

19
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.439
Yeah, thank you? And I'm Chris. I'm not the Lord

20
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.200
of the Lost. Lord of Loss is a band name,

21
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.040
so I'm just Chris the singer.

22
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:38.719
I'm fine.

23
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.319
We're having a day off here at the moment, traveling

24
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.840
from Denver to Phoenix, so our bus drive and needs

25
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:47.599
some sleep and we need a shower and stuff. So

26
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.400
I'm sitting right here in an hotel room in Albuquerque,

27
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.359
and yeah, waiting for the bus to leave tonight and

28
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.200
playing Phoenix tomorrow. And yeah, we're good. We have three shows,

29
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.519
three more shows to go. It's been an amazing tour

30
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:05.760
so far, and nothing to complain. We're really excited and

31
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.520
really like surprised by what's happening. So many people showing

32
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.120
up at each show. It's sold out venues sometimes here

33
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:14.599
and there. It's amazing.

34
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:16.240
I love it.

35
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.639
And so tell us a little bit about the experience

36
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.719
at riot Fest. And you know, Europe is always known

37
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:30.199
for their festivals, especially Waking in Germany and the Granddaddy

38
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.159
out there. How did you like playing at Riotfest? What

39
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:35.240
was your impression?

40
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.560
I mean, you know, the thing is when I say

41
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.560
like it was just another festival, I don't mean it

42
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.080
in a bad way, because it was.

43
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:47.719
It was one of these festivals.

44
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.479
And so when you're an artist and you play and

45
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.199
you see the dressing rooms and the catering at the

46
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.639
back of the stage in the end, when it's a

47
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.120
well organized festival, when I say was just another of

48
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.000
these festivals, then it's a compliment because it's a festival

49
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:08.000
where nothing like, you know, shit didn't hit the fan,

50
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.680
which sometimes happens at some weird festivals, which you remember

51
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.639
for that. But of course I realized that it was

52
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.120
something special and something new when I went out after

53
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.560
the show and I went through all these you know,

54
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.719
these stores on the festival ground and seeing the people,

55
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.599
because you know, all these shops in Europe, especially in Germany,

56
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.759
they're all the same. After a while you've seen them all,

57
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.840
and now here, of course everything's different, so so many

58
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:41.560
different like fashion brands and tattoo artists and everything was

59
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.919
like very much punk rock based at ride Fest, and

60
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.919
that was different. That made it special. So there was

61
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.639
from that point on suddenly was like, oh yeah, that's

62
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.680
that's a new festival. Because before the bus arrived, you know, backstage,

63
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.840
all this stuff, it's it's the same. It just cables

64
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:06.039
and stages and hazers and lights and speakers, you know

65
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:06.639
what I'm saying.

66
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.039
Yeah, like groundhog Day, right, yeah, yeah.

67
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.919
Yeah a little like that. So and I really liked

68
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.800
that and what was new to me.

69
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.720
Of course some people recognized me, but it was just

70
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.680
like maybe every ten to fifteen minutes someone was like, hey,

71
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.959
aren't you the singer of lorda Loss. It was like, yeah,

72
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.959
we can take a picture whatever, you know, do the

73
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:34.040
usual at a europeak festival, especially like Middle Europe, Germany

74
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.800
and stuff that doesn't work. I can't walk like three

75
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.519
feet without being recognized. So there was actually there was nice.

76
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.720
There was like, yeah, cool, I can know that I

77
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.000
could just be at a festival, So it was nic.

78
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.920
Yeah, because like in my town where my studio is,

79
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.040
I do a lot of events and like I can't

80
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:59.839
go anywhere undercover, but then when I go someplace else

81
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.279
it's nice to be incognito sometimes.

82
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.399
And yeah, well, and.

83
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.439
I gotta say too, like I love that I'm hearing

84
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.160
this because you know.

85
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.279
It says a lot about festivals over.

86
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.240
Here that you had a good experience, because we we

87
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.319
over here always talk about the European festivals and how

88
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.319
amazing they are. And to your point of what you said,

89
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.839
it is true. When it's something that you're used to

90
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.639
all the time, you know that the excitement isn't as

91
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.079
much there. It's kind of like my youngest daughter, every

92
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:35.839
time I go to a festival, because I do all

93
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:38.959
of them, she's like, are you excited about going as festival?

94
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:40.920
I'm like, I don't know if excited is the word

95
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:45.120
I would use. You know, do I love doing it?

96
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:46.120
Yeah? Is it fun?

97
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.720
Yes, But like you said, when you're seeing all the

98
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:54.199
same venues and the same things going on, I don't

99
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.920
think excitement is necessarily the word.

100
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.680
But the thing is, you know, yes, sorry, I didn't

101
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:00.879
want to.

102
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.240
No, I was gonna say, but riot Fast was exciting

103
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.800
this year too, which you probably didn't know. They did

104
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.560
like a makeover and added riot Land and all these

105
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:14.360
different attractions. So it was kind of exciting for me

106
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.920
this year after doing it every year that oh now

107
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:17.519
it's new.

108
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:19.079
Yeah. You know.

109
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:23.959
The thing is, I think not being too excited about

110
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:28.439
these things means you're a professional what you do. Because

111
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.600
I don't go to a festival for fun for my

112
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.639
personal fund. I go there because I'm an entertainer. I'm

113
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.000
there for the fun of other people. That doesn't mean

114
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.600
that I'm not having fun on stage. But it's not

115
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.439
like I'm going there like getting crazy, just doing what

116
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:48.120
I want, you know, and maybe, like occasionally i play

117
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:49.920
a concert, I think it comes.

118
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:51.319
But this is my job.

119
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.800
So I go there and before I get excited about things,

120
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.079
first I need to make sure that I'm doing a

121
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.319
good job to make the people like this is so.

122
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:02.680
Much more important about that.

123
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:07.519
So so in a way, of course, it's exciting to

124
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:11.879
go somewhere, to travel and all this stuff, But when

125
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.519
this is your job, I think you should do a

126
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.240
good job. When musicians just go on tour for their

127
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.560
own excitement, like to have a great party and to

128
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.399
you know, like the usual rock and roll shit like

129
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.439
having a girl in each town and all these things,

130
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.439
if this is what you're striving for, like being a musician,

131
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.720
then maybe it's yeah. Then I mean get a hobby then,

132
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:35.560
you know. So for me, it's like I want to

133
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.120
go there. I want to want to make a good job,

134
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:42.319
and then I can like, Okay, then I'm starting to relax, like, Okay,

135
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:43.240
I've done a good job.

136
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:44.079
It was great.

137
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.319
I had a lot of fun with the people, and

138
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.600
I can go and maybe check out some shops and

139
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.480
see if something's exciting there for me at ride Fest

140
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:53.399
or some other festival.

141
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.639
I love that you said all that because it just

142
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:02.160
shows to me that you were true artist, because you're

143
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.839
doing it for the art and for the music and

144
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.439
for the creativity opposed to hey.

145
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:10.959
Look at me, I'm a rock star.

146
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.439
Yeah, you know.

147
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:18.199
The thing is what many colleagues I see that all

148
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.279
the time, and it doesn't matter how old they are.

149
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:25.360
Our experience are not many of them, some newcomers, some

150
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:29.759
people doing that for fifty years. Some of them they don't.

151
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:34.600
They cannot differ anymore between the stage and real life. Yeah,

152
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.519
and for me, it's like, I allow myself to be

153
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:42.600
the rock star on stage for these thirty minutes, forty five,

154
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:47.240
sixty ninety one and twenty whatever, and everything else is

155
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.759
just like normal life. And I want to be a

156
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:51.960
good human being. I want to make a good job.

157
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.840
I'm there to be part of the team. And this

158
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.200
is something what we learned when we actually we didn't

159
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.799
have to learn. It was our paradigm already, but we

160
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.679
were reassured that it's a good thing. We went on

161
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:09.519
tour through Europe with Iron Maiden two summers long, and

162
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.919
these guys are doing that for like nearly half a century,

163
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.960
and they're the nicest, most down to earth people. And

164
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.320
we always said, like, hey, guys, we're playing forty minutes.

165
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:25.279
Support said for Iron Maiden. In this forty minutes, we

166
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:27.519
are rock stars. For the rest of the day. We

167
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.679
hold the door open for other people. We are saying

168
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.720
thank you and you're welcome, and making sure that everybody's

169
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.200
having a good time and everybody's being respectful, and we

170
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.840
are not there to be the rock stars. And then

171
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.279
we met these guys, you know, Iron Maiden. They're all

172
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:48.440
so great, they're so like they are team workers still,

173
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.279
and you wouldn't when you see them come in a room,

174
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:56.480
you wouldn't see that they're like big rockstars, like rich,

175
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:59.799
big rockstars doing that for half a century. They're just nice,

176
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:06.279
respectful people and also being rock stars within their one

177
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.039
hundred and twenty minutes on stage. For the rest of

178
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.600
the day, they're just part of the bigger picture.

179
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:17.000
You know. It's not just about you, and.

180
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.000
You're like the singer of this great rock and roll

181
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.080
and that's for me, that's bullshit. For me, that's not

182
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.879
rock and roll. Rock and roll is mostly used as

183
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.480
an excuse for fucking it up.

184
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:32.559
Well, I love what you said too, because I have

185
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:37.279
found myself personally as somebody that does interviews does press

186
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:42.200
that the band like Iron Man icon't They have no

187
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.200
clue to their icon's and that's why their icon't. Yeah,

188
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.039
they're just there to entertain and they have no idea

189
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.039
that they're Iron Maid and you know, you know what

190
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:52.399
I mean.

191
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:54.639
Yeah, but I can.

192
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.519
I can totally relate with that.

193
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.759
When people come to me and you know, like write

194
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.120
all these compliments about, you know, our show and our

195
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.840
looks or whatever, I always have to smirk a little like.

196
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.320
Do they mean us? Do they mean me?

197
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.639
It's like I'm like, it's nice to hear, but but

198
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.960
but I don't. I don't see myself that way, you know.

199
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.120
I don't see myself as someone who some girl or

200
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.360
boy whatever put on their wall as a poster. Is like, yeah, okay,

201
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.200
that's that's part of the job. But I'm here for

202
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.120
the art, so so I embrace it that people love that.

203
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.360
But at the same time, I don't take the stage

204
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.399
persona of mine too seriously. It's it's always a little

205
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.519
funny to be like, oh, yeah, okay, that's my stage

206
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.120
persona that why not you know.

207
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:43.960
Oh, I don't feel it totally.

208
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:49.440
And you know, it's funny because I have somebody that

209
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:53.639
I'm really close friends with over in Germany and I'm

210
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.159
actually going there for at least a month in December,

211
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:02.639
and I showed her the lineup for riot Fest without

212
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:03.840
even me looking at it.

213
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.559
It was like, I just here, there is the festival.

214
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:10.960
I'm going to, and she immediately noticed you guys on

215
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:14.159
the list. All right cool, immediately sent me, I don't

216
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.039
even remember where the show is yet, but a show

217
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:20.200
in December that you guys are playing in Germany, like

218
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.000
we have to go to this, and I'm like, OK.

219
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.200
Yeah, we're actually playing only one show in Germany in December,

220
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:28.759
or one show in total.

221
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.159
It's our own festival. It's called lord Fest.

222
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.639
So we're having this own festival of ours with like

223
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:38.240
always four bands this year. It's in a seven thousand

224
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.879
capacity hall, so it's an indoor festival because it's like,

225
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.759
you know, it's called in Germany December. Yeah, so this

226
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.120
must be our own festival then lord Fest.

227
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.679
Yeah, that's that's very cool. I love it.

228
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.240
And I also know something that I thought was really

229
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:57.639
cool and at TV of the Lost tell us a

230
00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:58.639
little bit about that.

231
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.679
Yeah, you know, that's our online TV show which is

232
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.080
mostly like a documentary of the things we're doing. We

233
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:10.679
started that with episode one, mostly on tour. We started

234
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:16.440
it in twenty eleven, and meanwhile we have already reached

235
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.639
episode six hundred, which is kind of insane.

236
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.720
I know, that's exactly what I was thinking my head,

237
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:26.200
but I saw I was looking, I think at your

238
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:27.080
latest episode.

239
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:30.360
I'm like, holy crap, that's a lot of episode. Yeah.

240
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:30.639
Yeah.

241
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:36.200
We started like filming and editing everything ourselves for I

242
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.840
think the first three hundred episodes or something. But after

243
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.840
some years you get really tired of like running around

244
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.559
with the camera all the time, and you know, your

245
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.919
job touring, you get more responsibility.

246
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.279
The shows are getting bigger, so from.

247
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.159
Time to time we took more and more people in

248
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.080
the team taking care of that and now social media

249
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.200
and you know, so always having a team around us

250
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:00.879
filming stuff and doing these things.

251
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.559
So yeah, so it's a little more professional now.

252
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.159
And I know some fans of the the first hour,

253
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.080
they really missed the self made DIY very you know,

254
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.279
rock and roll kind of TV of the lost. But meanwhile,

255
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.000
we can't do it anymore that way. So now it's

256
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.960
like this, this is really our job now, not a

257
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:23.720
hobby anymore. And it's nice to have someone professional around

258
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:27.200
with a good camera and you know, taking good pictures

259
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.840
of you. And yeah, that's a lot of fun. So

260
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:32.759
we'll see, maybe we make it up to one thousand

261
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:34.320
episodes in a couple of years.

262
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:35.320
I think you will.

263
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.600
And you know, I totally get what you're saying, and

264
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.240
I'm glad you said it, because I think a lot

265
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.799
of people don't realize. You know, we're all like that.

266
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.200
You know, I have my bands that I saw when

267
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.120
they were first starting, and then it's like, you know,

268
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:53.279
they they get more professional, better at their craft, but

269
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.679
you still want them to be the garage band.

270
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:58.679
You know, yeah, yeah, you want them to be like

271
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.159
the biggest drug store, but it's you don't want them to.

272
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:02.320
Grow because they are yours.

273
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.720
I kind of get that, but it doesn't work that

274
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:05.720
way now.

275
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:08.799
And for the artists I always look at it as well.

276
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.200
The artists wouldn't want to stay that way. You want

277
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.039
to evolve and grow as an artist and expand your

278
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.919
abilities and explore everything and make it more professional and

279
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.000
more polished.

280
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:21.840
And you guys, as.

281
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.840
A band, any band probably looks back on those garage

282
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:29.919
days and goes, wow, we were really not that great yet,

283
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.759
you know in reason.

284
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:35.000
You know, you know, the thing is that what some

285
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.000
people that say, like, hey, I'm missing these old days,

286
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:41.960
and they don't realize what these old days meant to us, like,

287
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.879
you know, touring supporting another band. They were going with

288
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.320
a nightliner tour bus. You were in a vent or

289
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.879
just like a regular car, sleeping in the car, sleeping

290
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.399
on the floor, in the houses of fans, freezing, having

291
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:59.080
no money for food, for nothing, really nothing, working like

292
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.519
a second and third job so you could actually afford

293
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:04.639
like going to the studio and doing your stuff. You know,

294
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.960
fans might miss these old days because it feels surreal

295
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.320
to them. But if you have gone through these years,

296
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.440
if you have soldiered your way through that, and now

297
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.159
this is actually your job and you can actually make

298
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.000
money with the music to actually be better in the

299
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.000
art you do without like starving and freezing, and you

300
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.360
have a family at home, you have kids you want

301
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.080
to feed, then really, I don't really don't want to

302
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.039
go back to these old days, although I get a

303
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.559
certain kind of you know, being sentimental about it. But

304
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.679
fans didn't go through that. They watched it from the outset,

305
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.200
were like, yeah, they are so true. They slept in

306
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:45.399
the car and stuff, But hey, do that for ten years,

307
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:49.000
do try to do art and not getting money, And

308
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:51.360
it's so easy for you to say that you work

309
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.600
in this story all your life and you're like, yeah,

310
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.559
I want my band to suffer it to make like

311
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:00.519
real art and stuff. That's not fair, you know. So

312
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.480
when this becomes your job, which is hard enough for

313
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:08.240
a musician, then every everybody should be happy about their

314
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.079
artists too, that they actually get money for what they do.

315
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:12.480
It makes them better artists.

316
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:13.640
Yeah.

317
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:17.359
Absolutely, So let's tell everybody how they can reach out

318
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:21.279
to you on the web, socials and most importantly your merch.

319
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.440
And you have some cool merch in your merch store.

320
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:29.960
I especially love the shirt. They'll love shirts and that,

321
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.359
you know, the love of the loss.

322
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.240
Yes, yes, yeah, we have like two hundred and fifty

323
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:39.799
plus items in our store. Our fans are merch crazy

324
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.519
because we got like especially very creative with merch during

325
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.799
COVID because we had to find a way to you know,

326
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.799
also first make fans happy, second to you know, earn

327
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:51.400
some money.

328
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.240
So we have like shitloads of crazy stuff.

329
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.000
It's actually very easy. I mean, you can google us,

330
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.079
you will find us right right away. But if you

331
00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.240
go like a lot of loss dot de for deutsch Land,

332
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:03.920
which is Germany, there's actually like a link tree with

333
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.680
all this stuff for merch and like all the socials,

334
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.759
everything you need. Just really make sure on the socials,

335
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.160
like look for the blue check marks, because we have

336
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:19.000
so many fakes, like especially of me trying to scam people,

337
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.240
especially young girls into like sending nude pigs or sending

338
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.880
money and all these things. It's like, it's so criminal,

339
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:31.920
it's so devastating what sometimes people believe it's me and

340
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:36.079
it's not. Please please really check for the blue check

341
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:37.119
mark that is us.

342
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:38.319
Everything else it's not.

343
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.440
So Yeah, I even talk about stuff like that we're

344
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:46.200
having to do with merchet shows. It's like, don't buy

345
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:51.359
shirts outside the show. The bank not benefit and it's

346
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:52.519
crap anyway.

347
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:57.799
Yeah, yeah, it's bootlegs. It's illegal, you know, buy inside.

348
00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:58.200
You know.

349
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:01.440
We had this one thing somewhere in Latin America on tour.

350
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:05.440
We had like seven eight, nine, ten illegal merch stores

351
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.319
in front of the concert hall. We walked there and

352
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:10.720
we were like, okay, this looks actually pretty nice. We

353
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:14.400
could do that. So some of these things were actually inspiring.

354
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.440
And then I asked them like, hey, can I have

355
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:20.160
one of these shirts because actually they are mine? Anyway

356
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.200
you're selling them I'm not getting and they were like no, no,

357
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:25.480
who are you. I'm like, I'm the guy who's merch

358
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:26.279
you're ripping.

359
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.759
Off the Oh my god, It's like yeah. And so

360
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:30.839
it was really funny.

361
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:34.880
And in one of the cities, I won't tell where

362
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:38.160
because I don't want to fuck any promoter over or something,

363
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.160
but in one of these cities, one of these illegal

364
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.319
merch stores in front of the concert hall was actually

365
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.160
run by the family of the local promoters, so they

366
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.720
actually know their way to make some extra money.

367
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.759
We found that out way later. It was like, hilarious, bro,

368
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.759
you wouldn't believe what. Yeah, you know, but it's like that.

369
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.640
It's the same in some Eastern European countries, Russia and stuff.

370
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.200
So we we had like.

371
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:10.359
Lots of very inspiring bootleg merch stores with like articles,

372
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.079
items we've never ever seen before, but we actually ripped

373
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:17.279
off some of these items for like, that's a good idea,

374
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:18.200
let's do.

375
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:18.599
It of it.

376
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.920
That is the most brilliant thing ever. I love that

377
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:25.559
when you were saying you were walking out there, I mean,

378
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:28.559
I think that's just that's something I would do. So

379
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:30.000
that was classic. I love it.

380
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:35.039
Yeah, but that's that's one of these moments where you realize, Okay,

381
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:38.160
you know, we kind of made it. If you have

382
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:44.000
like ten merch stars copying your shit, that makes you realize, okay,

383
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:46.720
you actually you actually achieved something.

384
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:55.079
I know, right, Oh man, that's cool. And so you

385
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.720
guys also are on one of my favorite labels and

386
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:02.799
a Palm Records, So that's cool. And is there anything

387
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:05.240
else we want to tell the audience that we haven't covered,

388
00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:07.680
Larrey that you want them to know about you guys

389
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:08.920
on anything coming up?

390
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:10.880
You know?

391
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:15.039
Actually, I mean like if some fans are listening that

392
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:17.880
already knows, they might be really interested in knowing that

393
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.200
we are writing a new record. I'm just here, just

394
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:24.920
until one minute before our talk, I was sitting here

395
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.400
on the bed working on news stuff. We're having thirty

396
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:31.319
to forty songs in the writing at the moment, and

397
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:32.920
we're going to hit the studio at the end of

398
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:35.240
the year and in January February, and there's going to

399
00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:36.799
be a new record next summer.

400
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:38.160
Nice.

401
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:42.480
Yeah, very exciting. I'm excited about that. And I'm always

402
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:44.960
in awe of artists like yourself. They've been doing it

403
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:47.960
so long and still can come up with new material

404
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:50.400
like it kind of blows my mind.

405
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:53.160
I don't know where it's coming from. If I'd be

406
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.880
you know, I have this constant radio in my head,

407
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.599
and if i'd be a believer, I would say, like

408
00:21:58.640 --> 00:21:59.599
it's God.

409
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:00.640
Or whatever, you know.

410
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.640
So I'm an agnostic, so I say, I don't know

411
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:04.480
where it's coming from.

412
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:06.400
It's a universe, it's something.

413
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:09.240
It's like r but it's like it's it's like rain

414
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:13.880
drops off like melodies and songs like in my brain

415
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.279
like all day. I can shut it off. Sometimes it's

416
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:20.400
really annoying because it's not always good. Some of these

417
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:23.720
songs are really are real crap, so I need to

418
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:25.000
filter out the good ones, you know.

419
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:28.599
So that's a funny thing too, Like I always know

420
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:31.200
it's where artists it's like they have to write a

421
00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:34.240
crap load of songs to get the ones that they

422
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:37.680
actually like. And you know, you're your own worst critic.

423
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.000
Right yeah, But you know the thing is, these days

424
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:44.119
are I'm my worst critic, of course, but these days

425
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:46.680
of like writing so much stuff are kind of over

426
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:50.680
because twenty years ago, ten years ago, I was trying

427
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:54.240
to make a demo of every little idea. Meanwhile, I'm like,

428
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.720
okay that I hear something in my head and it's

429
00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.880
like actually listening to radio and I can rewind it,

430
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:04.359
fast forward and restarted again, and if I don't remember

431
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:07.440
it after three days, then it maybe the idea wasn't

432
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:07.920
that good.

433
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:10.240
So wow, So.

434
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:13.319
What I do, which is really hard because sometimes like

435
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:15.920
I kind of like it, then you forget it. But really,

436
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.359
if you don't remind it after three days, it wasn't

437
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.319
that good. So that's my natural filter, and that saves

438
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.400
me a lot of time on like doing demos, Like

439
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:29.359
for our last record, we didn't have one single song

440
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.079
too much. We just like we filtered everything out before

441
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.759
we started doing demos, just by time.

442
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:38.880
Time can solve so many things.

443
00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:42.880
Wow, that that is such a great way to go

444
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:46.240
about because I know if it were me and I forgot,

445
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:51.480
I'd be like so upset at myself, like, oh, that.

446
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:54.200
Was so good, I can't believe I forgot it.

447
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:57.519
But then when you just said that, it's like, wow,

448
00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:59.799
that makes a lot of sense, Like if it really

449
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:02.119
is that good, it'd be stuck in your head.

450
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:05.160
Yeah yeah, I mean, like I have written so many

451
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.880
songs or co written so many songs also for other

452
00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:12.599
artists since like I'm nineteen eighteen, so that would be.

453
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:17.160
I'm forty four now, so that's twenty five years. So

454
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:21.720
I have like, I think eighteen hundred songs registered or something.

455
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.680
And so after so many songs, you need to find

456
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:25.400
a way to.

457
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.559
Not work on every idea. And yeah, so that's my

458
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:31.680
filter time.

459
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:34.680
You're right, it'll drive you nuts. It'll drive you nuts

460
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:38.640
if you work on every idea. Well, you guys, man,

461
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:39.759
you're a greble.

462
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:43.000
I can't. I'm so bummed. I missed you.

463
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:46.680
At riot Fest, but you know, next to life happened.

464
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:51.200
But I'm definitely gonna make it happen in Germany because

465
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:57.400
I've watched some performances from Riotfest and man, I was

466
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:59.960
like really bummed out. So now I have a second chance,

467
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:02.480
but I'll have to go over to the pond.

468
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:02.640
To do it.

469
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:05.599
Yeah, see you in Germany, then.

470
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:06.400
There you go.

471
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:08.920
Well, thanks a lot, and thanks for being on the

472
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:10.000
