00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:11.519
Hey, you love luneto. Yes, that's true. For why where

2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:17.239
you y'all? Hello?

3
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.280
This is pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man

4
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:25.199
W four c Y Radio and I'm here.

5
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.839
With Charlie from Malevolen's nice.

6
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.640
So it's so funny that this happened because I was

7
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.359
sitting there talking your friend out there at punk House

8
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.359
and then you walked up. You're talking. I didn't wire

9
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.600
her up, that just stood there. And it's like when

10
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.000
I'm in this environment, even my fan friends, they'll come

11
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:48.759
up to me, they're like, hey, what's up Pipe Man?

12
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:50.880
I'm like, fuck, who was that?

13
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:51.759
You know?

14
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.759
Because it like all spins around in your head. And

15
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.039
then so she was telling me afterwards, and she was

16
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.679
telling me, y'all grew up together, and even the boys

17
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.120
from Bring Me to riseing like and like you were

18
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.959
just all at the same time came up like this,

19
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.200
and it's like that's fucking cool. Like how often does

20
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.079
that happened? A bunch of schoolhouse friends all or in

21
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.959
the same industry and come up together, you know what?

22
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.120
Like in Sheffield it's been it's been a really good

23
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.519
scene over the years where like I think when a

24
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.040
death core came about, like bring me with paving the

25
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.560
way sort of like two and eight maybe before that even,

26
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.640
And then and then a few years later along came

27
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.640
a band called was She Sleeves and then we were there,

28
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:36.799
I don't know, maybe sixteen years, all going to shows

29
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.439
around like local local towns like Sheffield, Leeds, et cetera.

30
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.079
And then them guys were playing and we were taking

31
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:44.680
a lot of influence from all of that. And then

32
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.599
we were playing the whole time as a band, but

33
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.680
never really very well or whatever, and so it took

34
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.359
it took a few more years for us to kind

35
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.159
of get some shows locally and then branch out sort

36
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.640
of like an hour or two drive and then start

37
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.879
traveling around the country. And yeah, I mean, yeah, it's

38
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.799
fair to say those guys paved the way for our

39
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.879
local scene. Yeah, the name's still ring out today and

40
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.920
everyone's still smashing it. And we just did a tour

41
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.319
way while she sleeps. First first shows me while she sleeps,

42
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.719
for like I don't know, ten years or something. While

43
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.759
she sleeps. I was in November around Europe for like

44
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.039
five weeks, and yeah, it was just sick to be

45
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:19.960
back with the boys again.

46
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:22.879
I know, right, It's not how weird. Is that like

47
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.120
one day you're playing or you know, like hanging out

48
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:28.919
and then you're playing for real.

49
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.319
Yeah, exactly. Like you know, the first show was in

50
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:33.599
Paris and it was sold out like I don't know,

51
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.960
maybe one five hundred people or more, and it was

52
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.039
just like, yeah, I was that was a bit of

53
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.400
a yeah, like wobble my head moment. It was sick

54
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.000
to see, sick to be back with the boys and

55
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:43.879
see how far we've come.

56
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.960
Yeah, yeah, totally, And you know it's funny. Now then

57
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.080
I'm talking to you. I have completed the Sheffield trio

58
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.000
because I've interviewed Bring Me and While She Sleeps and

59
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.240
now you, so it's like I've covered all Sheffield. But

60
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.800
I also want to congratulate because it's like you're telling

61
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.159
your friend about you're having a baby.

62
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.159
Yeah, yeah, I just found out I'm going to be

63
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:06.520
a dad.

64
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.039
How cool is that?

65
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.520
I went to tell the news to our guitarist Josh,

66
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.240
and he turned around and said me too. And it

67
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.560
turns out, oh, yeah, you were saying he's two weeks

68
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:16.080
ahead of me.

69
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.319
HadAM wild? Is that?

70
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.919
It's so crazy? Yeah? I mean, like Ivan, the news

71
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.960
personal who was a big curveball and now him as well.

72
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.400
It's going to be sick because like, yeah, we're on

73
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.479
a journey together now. Basically in December is going to

74
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.919
be a busy month for us. Yeah, both having kids.

75
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.000
Hopefully everything goes smoothly. Touch Wood.

76
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:34.800
So where you're going to tell your kid about the

77
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:36.319
music business, Oh wow, you know.

78
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.599
What, I'm just gonna give him him or Hurt a

79
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.520
pair of drumsticks and see what they can do. Right,

80
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.159
it's a slipknots to children's band vendor.

81
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:49.599
Yeah, I've interviewed Clown's kid and Griffin. I've interviewed them both.

82
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.360
Yeah, we know those boys. They are good lads.

83
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.560
And let me tell you something. Don't tell Clown those

84
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.960
kids are better drummer than he is. Okay, but Griff

85
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:04.000
for me is freaking Cory two point zero. Like even

86
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.400
when he talks, you can hear the same voice. And

87
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.159
a lot of people say they think it's manufact No,

88
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:16.120
that's Griffin. Okay. It's not like they're not trying to

89
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.000
be Slippedno, they're trying. They're trying to be themselves and

90
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.240
I have total respect for that.

91
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:23.959
It must be hard doing all that because you know,

92
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:25.839
so you've got to live up to your dad's name

93
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:26.240
or whatever.

94
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.279
I must be trying, and people think that it's because

95
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.079
you're dead.

96
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.120
But now I see I see those boys out on

97
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:33.920
the road, grafting.

98
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.639
They're a fucking badass.

99
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.040
So yeah, they're nice guys.

100
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.639
So the first time I heard your band, and I'll

101
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.639
say it on serious exam and even though they're another

102
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.120
radio station, but I love them and Jose, yeah, I

103
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.279
love Jose. We're friends and he's the coolest dude ever.

104
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.240
And I heard it on there and I'm an old

105
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:58.160
school thrash metal head and I heard your music. I'm like,

106
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.800
holy fuck, bring me back to this.

107
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:03.519
Oh yeah, the jackets hot.

108
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:05.319
Look at that shit.

109
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.560
Shit that looks like he's been to a few shows.

110
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:10.360
A little bit. Okay, so look at those pat that patch,

111
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.680
look at the where'd the other patch go? Oh? There

112
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.240
it is we shit, you could barely tell why it

113
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.480
is more than me right, Slayer didn't even have a

114
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.560
patch yet. So I did that. I put the velvet

115
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.959
on there. I was talking to a bunch of bands.

116
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.319
They were like, oh my god, when did Metallica have

117
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.600
a logo like that? They've never been that kind of band.

118
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:34.879
And that's jumping the fire.

119
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.600
Oh wow, yeah, sure, very old school.

120
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.040
Then I mean, wow, you guys or bring me or

121
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.199
are on here? Because this was from nineteen eighty one.

122
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.879
Wow, fair play? Right, yeah, I was born in ninety

123
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.279
ninety three. Just to put things in a perspective, this

124
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.759
right was minus something.

125
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:57.680
So what was that first moment for you that you

126
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.319
knew this is what you wanted to do.

127
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.560
I went to see Kaimer in two thousand and five.

128
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.879
That was my first standing up show, and that was

129
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.959
at Corporation in Sheffield with Hate Sphere on support. And

130
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.959
I walked in and everyone had long hair. Everyone was

131
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.040
just head banging. The room stunk a weed and like

132
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.800
and then people were just pitting like I've never seen,

133
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.879
like smashing into each other. And I was I was

134
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.360
probably twelve, and I just walked in. I was like,

135
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.800
this is so hard. I was like overwhelmed. And by

136
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.480
the end of the night I went in the pit

137
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.360
a little bit. I think I got a black eye

138
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.120
because obviously I was probably half the size of everybody

139
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.560
in there, so like I was elbow high suit, right,

140
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.639
it just got smacked in the face and I was

141
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.240
so amazed by it.

142
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.959
And the next you were initiated exactly.

143
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:44.759
There you go. And next day I walked into school

144
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.480
with a shina a black eye, and I was just like, yo,

145
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:48.639
I was in the pit last night.

146
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:49.839
Nice.

147
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:51.639
That was kind of like what I said it.

148
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.199
So this vast has blood on it from me climbing

149
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.360
up on top of a Marshall stack and swan diving

150
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.920
in the crowd moved while it was mid air. Oh

151
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.120
my god, yeah, teeth hit the floor.

152
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.399
Wow a bit. You always remember that one.

153
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.120
Not only that, the bands because I was friends with

154
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:14.000
the band. Okay, it's so wild because they were gone

155
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.800
for like I don't know, it's been like thirty years,

156
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:19.439
and they just came out with a new album a

157
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.879
couple of years ago, and I get the press release

158
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.319
and they're like, can you interview this band. I'm like,

159
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.759
holy shit, yeah, I'll interview this band. And he got

160
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.319
on with me. I'm like, you probably don't remember me,

161
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.040
and he stopped me right there. He's like, oh my god.

162
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.879
I always wondered what happened to you. I felt so bad.

163
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.120
It happened on the last It was the lead singer,

164
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.199
the leader of the band. On the last note of

165
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.439
the song, I hit the floor. Not on purpose. It

166
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.040
just happened that way, like it didn't end the show

167
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:54.759
because of me, it was already ending.

168
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.959
I think it's a right opacity to the stage getting caught.

169
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:02.199
I know, right to me. And he goes, you are

170
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:08.199
like the most tragic La metal story ever, and I

171
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.720
was like, I recorded, I played it for my kids,

172
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:14.040
because you're gonna find out you tell your kids' stories.

173
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:18.399
And they're like, yeah, right there, sure, blah blah, and

174
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:23.160
they think you exaggerate, and he described it perfectly. I'm like, yeah,

175
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:28.879
I didn't, bullshit. So tell everybody, your guys socials, what

176
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.120
you got coming up. How they can buy your merch

177
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.159
because they can't listen to my show with your merch,

178
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.360
especially you got to bring up a kid, and that's

179
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:36.440
the only way you make money.

180
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.759
Yeah, we need to sell some shirts and records, that's right.

181
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.559
So yeah, the web store we run ourselves, which is

182
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.879
the label mlv ltd dot com. That's where we've were

183
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.039
operation of three guys, myself, a basis Wilkie and the

184
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.559
guitar is some guilt ship. Jackie's in the ware house

185
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.919
every day running operations and yeah, you know it's it's

186
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.399
a small little project and that's where we've been selling

187
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:00.399
our own stuff for a long time. Ever since day one,

188
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.919
really we've always like had a DIY approach, and yeah

189
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:03.600
we've been doing all that.

190
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:04.399
I love that.

191
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:06.679
Yeah, we live for it, to be honest.

192
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:08.559
It's old school and it's the way it should be

193
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.759
because I was there on the in the whole sunset

194
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:17.000
strip eighties ship and the suits have no business telling

195
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.799
them creatives how to create.

196
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.840
If you can't beat them, join them, that's right, but

197
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.200
