00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:08.800
Hey, you have unto sensuu.

2
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:12.480
Wow, pray you.

3
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:12.759
Young ro.

4
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.640
Whycoume of America. It's time for the Adventures of Pipeman

5
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.320
on W four c Y dot com. West pomp Beats

6
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.399
is number one internet radio station. Here's your host, The White.

7
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:55.799
Man listens to pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

8
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:57.439
Man W four c Y Radio.

9
00:00:57.759 --> 00:00:58.560
And I'm here with.

10
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:06.519
Carl from Yes So we talked back in June. I think, yeah,

11
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.879
that's when it was June and at Grasspop. So here

12
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.079
we are back in my home area where my radio

13
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.480
studios are here in Fort Laurdale at the Culture Room.

14
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.599
That's pretty cool. Like I got the email from Nate

15
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.200
Palm Records. I'm like, oh, I gotta go to that

16
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.760
show because that's right in hometown.

17
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:27.359
It's very rare. I get that.

18
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.120
Yeah, man, you can't ignore it when metal comes to your.

19
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.760
Town, no doubt. And nobody really wants to come down

20
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:39.159
here anymore. And I understand why. It's a drag. The

21
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.239
state of Florida is so big to drive through, so

22
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.239
it's like you gotta drive all the way down to

23
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:45.799
drive all the way back up.

24
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.239
You know. It's like that in Greece too, is it

25
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.480
really to play in Greece, you got your choice. You

26
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.920
can either ride the ferry from Italy or drive down

27
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:57.840
from up north.

28
00:01:58.280 --> 00:01:58.599
Wow.

29
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.439
And then and it's just like Florida. You got to

30
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.319
turn right back around and head back the same path

31
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.840
you just went through. But now you've already played the show,

32
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.599
so there's no shows. But it's a dead.

33
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:12.639
Drive, no doubt.

34
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.719
Yeah, they don't like that. It's expensive.

35
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:18.520
Yeah, and it's kind of be a drag for you

36
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.360
guys because it's tough enough being on the bus sometimes

37
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.840
and Florida is a boring drive, to be honest, Like,

38
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:25.280
if you're.

39
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.599
Going to drive, feel that way. I really I love

40
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:28.639
driving down here.

41
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:29.719
Well that's good.

42
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:34.000
And it's January, so coman, it's.

43
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.120
A good time to be in Florida for sure.

44
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.599
My in laws live in Florida, so for Christmas we

45
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.719
always come Florida. Nice escape the cold ass weather.

46
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.080
Yeah, and you know what's funny about that. I keep

47
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.439
laughing at people because I'm from the Northeast, So to me,

48
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.319
this weather we're having today, which is like sixty seven degrees,

49
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.360
is not cold, but Florinians are wearing parkas and scarves.

50
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.599
Yeah, Oh it's pretty funny.

51
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.560
But yeah, so you guys played in Orlando last night,

52
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.159
you're hearing for Lawerdow, and then you'll be in Tampa

53
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.159
tomorrow night. Perfect example what I'm talking about, because that's

54
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.000
like playing ping pong of the whole state of Florida.

55
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:18.759
At least we got a show on the way back,

56
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.199
so it's not a dead drive.

57
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.400
That's right, that's right, And so tell us what we

58
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:26.680
can expect here tonight at the Culture Room.

59
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:31.879
The Culture Room. Well, there's four bands here tonight, Nile six, Speed, Under, Psychicroptic,

60
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.120
and Embryonic Autopsy.

61
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.439
That was pretty good, because that is a mouthful, it is.

62
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.039
It's gonna be a great show, though, Like, are there

63
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.479
one of the bands that you're on tour with or

64
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.039
just all of them that you dig being out in

65
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:50.960
their show when you're done working.

66
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.039
Well, we played last so that that doesn't get to

67
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.560
happen when we're done working well.

68
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:58.039
That's true.

69
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.840
Yeah, that's well, that's that's the that's the bummer of

70
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.000
being the headliner, right.

71
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.639
I know, I really enjoy being a support band because

72
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.159
you do get to see the show, right, right, You

73
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.319
do have time to like see your friends at the

74
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.040
bar and you know, say hi to fans and all that.

75
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.759
So they're trade offs. You know, it's always greener on

76
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:23.600
the other.

77
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.319
Side, that's right. Always.

78
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.839
So last time we talked, we talked about you had

79
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.439
an album that was coming out, and now that album's

80
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.199
been out. So how do you find, especially playing live

81
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.600
shows that people are receiving the new album.

82
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:45.519
A new album, people seem to really respond to it live.

83
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.199
The new songs go over like a storm. Yeah, they're

84
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.959
thought of fun to play and people seem to enjoy them.

85
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.639
So okay, I bet, I bet.

86
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.199
As an artist, it is fun to play the new music.

87
00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.279
I think a lot of listeners don't realize that. It's

88
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.160
like when you're used to playing the same stuff over

89
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.360
and over again. It's nice to have a breath of

90
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.800
fresh air and play your new stuff right.

91
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.279
Right, even when Zeppelin got tired of playing Stairway to Heaven. Right.

92
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.439
As much as people love the song, and I'm sure

93
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:17.319
they love it too, you know, you got to do

94
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.800
things that move you forward and make you feel alive.

95
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.879
Playing a new song or playing some new songs is

96
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.199
that breath of life. Yeah, if you have to play

97
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.920
the same songs that you've been doing for twenty five

98
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:39.120
thirty years and that's all that you do. It's not alive,

99
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.800
it's it's you know, it's there like a robot at

100
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.720
that point, because yeah, because you could do it on autopilot,

101
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.480
exactly right. It's all muscle memory. After a decade of

102
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.639
playing any song, it's muscle memory. You don't have to

103
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:53.920
even think about.

104
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.759
It, exactly. It's just part of you, you know. That's

105
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.800
why it's even strange to me sometimes when I see musicians,

106
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.040
guitarists I will play for like twenty thirty years, and

107
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.360
they still are looking at the notes that they're playing

108
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.600
while they're playing. I'm thinking, man, that just must be

109
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.720
like in your brain. You shouldn't even have to look

110
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:13.040
at that.

111
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:17.399
Point, right. Like Gary Holtz from Exodus, he never looks

112
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.680
at his guitar. Nack, No, it's awesome.

113
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:21.360
I love it.

114
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.240
You just watch him and he's just like, he's not

115
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.120
look at it all. To me, that's also the sign

116
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.759
of a great guitarist, because you should know your craft

117
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.399
well enough after that long that you don't need to look.

118
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:40.639
You don't need to really, right, you know exactly. Having

119
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:48.279
said that, though now all music is not necessarily easy

120
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.199
to play. It requires a lot of concentration, so we

121
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.879
kind of have to look. So there's kind of like

122
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:55.720
a peripheral vision kind of thing.

123
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.000
Yeah, you know, where you can see your hand, you

124
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.680
can see the guitar neck in your field division or

125
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.680
you know, conversely, if you're trying to sing while you play,

126
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.160
you know, you have to reverse that.

127
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.680
I always find that to be I'm in awe of

128
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.279
people that sing and play because it's like rubbing your

129
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.439
tummy and your head at the same time. You know,

130
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.800
It's like I had a hard enough time when I

131
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:24.959
was younger playing each instrument by themselves, much less doing

132
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.079
two different things.

133
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:33.120
You got to get the one thing well enough where

134
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.000
you don't have to think about it, which you know,

135
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.639
just if you do it enough times and understand where

136
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.480
your hand moves and when your mouth moves, and where

137
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:49.240
those two cross paths, like the nexus point right right

138
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:54.680
or the anchor point, and that's what you do, like

139
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.240
you just lock the two points together and the rest

140
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.120
you work in between. Yeah.

141
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:09.120
Absolutely, So. Do you have any story that is like

142
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.959
the wildest story from your whole career of doing this?

143
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:25.800
Yeah, there are things I'd love to tell you, but

144
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:27.079
better not.

145
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.360
Are there any that you can tell, because there's a

146
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.200
lot I'm sure you can't tell, like sometimes sticks out

147
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.519
of your mind. That happened even in the very beginning

148
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:42.519
that you're just like is implanted into your.

149
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:49.639
Brain, implanted into my brain. Well, probably the first couple

150
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:54.960
of tours that we did here in America, we did

151
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.480
that year nineteen ninety eight. We did three tours of

152
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:03.159
Norban Angel, did a tour Cannibal Corpse. We did Death

153
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:16.159
across America with Gorguts and Cryptopsy You Oppressor. And there

154
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.399
was a moment at the very beginning of that first

155
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.919
Morbid Angel tour where we had driven in our van

156
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:27.080
all the way across the States and we were somewhere

157
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:32.399
by the ocean near Seattle, on the highway side of

158
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.720
the road. It was like a cliff looked out over

159
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.519
the ocean, and we stopped because we were tired, you know,

160
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:44.279
we're taking turns driving in and me and Peter Mora

161
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:49.240
stood and looked out at the ocean and there was

162
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:54.679
this just incredible feeling like wait a minute, our music

163
00:09:55.759 --> 00:10:00.200
took us all the way across the continent and now

164
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:06.120
we're looking at the Pacific Ocean. Music did that our

165
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.919
jobs at the factory but you know, before we did

166
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.960
the band that would have never made that possible. Music

167
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:17.480
made that possible. And if you think that a step further,

168
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:25.039
music fans made that possible. True. Absolutely, it was a

169
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:31.159
profound moment for us where we realized, yes, it is possible.

170
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:36.799
If you work hard enough and you know, give the

171
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:41.399
people what it is they want, you can do things.

172
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.480
I love that you say work hard enough, because to me,

173
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:51.240
your job is as fun as it is, like the

174
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:56.000
most work possible. And I don't think people realize that.

175
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:59.519
They think it's just all like fun and games. That's

176
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:03.120
a piece of it, But there's a lot more. That's

177
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.960
just a lot of work, a lot of practice, a

178
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.559
lot of dedication, a lot of going through a lot

179
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.519
of crap to get to the point.

180
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:16.759
If someone had fully explained to me all the life

181
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.960
sacrifices that you would have to make if you want

182
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:26.559
to make music your life, it would have probably sobered

183
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.679
up my young, naive mind. Right. Just for instance, like

184
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:36.720
my kid, my son, he plays guitar, nice, fairly talented.

185
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.759
I didn't encourage him to take up music as a career, right,

186
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:46.480
Music do it because you love it, but making a

187
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:53.559
career out of it expecting to live by it. That's

188
00:11:53.600 --> 00:12:01.320
a tough road, especially today, especially today, like the odds

189
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:08.879
against succeeding have grown ten thousand bold. There's so many

190
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:15.240
bands now that you know, just getting a foothold is

191
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.120
really tough. So, you know, hats off to all the

192
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:25.200
young bands who are sticking out and making themselves known

193
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:30.840
bringing music to the people. That's you know, was all

194
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:32.480
different ballgame when we were coming.

195
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:35.600
Up, well, TWILD because I think of that often, you know,

196
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.080
like I think of the days that I was hanging

197
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.799
out with bands in the early eighties and how they

198
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.639
got their music out and what they had to do

199
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:47.240
compared to what bands have to do nowadays. And oh

200
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.279
my god, it's like twenty times the amount of work

201
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.559
to be a band nowadays. Like you know, we had

202
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:58.759
to tape training days. We had the newspaper circulars and

203
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.600
you didn't have to go out there and do all

204
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.120
this social media and all this and that. Like there's

205
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.320
like so many different jobs that didn't exist that you

206
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:08.480
have to.

207
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:09.159
Do all the work.

208
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:14.360
Right, the work has been transferred back onto the people, yes, right,

209
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:19.240
you know, it's part of the technology and information age

210
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:23.080
that we're living in. You can find a path pretty

211
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:27.679
quick to getting yourself out there, put you know, take

212
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:32.679
out your Facebook and your Instagram, your TikTok. But getting

213
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:36.559
people to care about whatever it is you do. There's

214
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.759
a I like to think of it as a tsunami

215
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:44.879
wave of indifference because there are so many options. Yeah,

216
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:49.960
if you see, you know, in your feed a band

217
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.559
that seems interesting and you click on it, how many

218
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.159
seconds are you willing to listen to it before you

219
00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:59.759
just click on something else.

220
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.279
I think of some of my favorite songs that if

221
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.440
they came out today and I was a kid today,

222
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.159
I probably would have never heard the whole song, like

223
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:12.720
right fast as a Shark, Like we've never gotten through

224
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:17.960
the intro, We've been next track, battery, next track, Like

225
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.080
there was a song I was listening to the other day.

226
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.840
The intro was like a minute long of like mellow

227
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:28.159
and then it went like insane. Right, nobody would ever

228
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.759
get to the insane part nowadays, you know.

229
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.440
Right, we certainly have shortened the attention span.

230
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:40.360
I've even talked to people like about the songwriting process

231
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:45.440
and how it's different today to compensate for that short

232
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.519
attention span. So like get ready of to intro, get

233
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.480
ready to bridge, get rid of solo two verses instead

234
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.320
of three, you know, stuff like that.

235
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:00.519
Dude, it's become so formulaic. Ye, exactly, Like even AI

236
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:07.240
apps can write great songs. Like we'll be laughing around

237
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.840
after the show and drinking beers whatever, and some be

238
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:15.159
able to say something stupid and some other person will go, hey,

239
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.440
that'd be a pretty good country song. And then someone

240
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.360
else will whip out their little app and turn whatever

241
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:25.080
stupid words that was into a great country song, right,

242
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:30.799
indistinguishable from anything that you would hear on national country

243
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:31.440
pop radio.

244
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:32.519
It is.

245
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.759
It amazes me, but it bumps me out at the

246
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:41.960
same time, because like, I want real musicianship, not computer generating.

247
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.960
I don't want to hear computer generated Still, we're very

248
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:49.679
much an organic kind of metal band, right. Or we

249
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:53.120
play and that's what we give you. There's no fancy

250
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:59.320
other stuff, no crazy stage show. We just play metal. Right.

251
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:00.960
We try to make that.

252
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:07.440
Interesting exactly, that should be what's interesting. I remember back

253
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.200
in the eighties when the band Craftwork came out and

254
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.320
I'm like yeah, and I'm like, fuck this shit, man,

255
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:14.360
I want musicians.

256
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:15.879
I want synthesizers.

257
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:20.960
You know, there's a very famous scene in WKRP.

258
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:25.200
You know, yeah, I joke about w KRP all the time.

259
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.480
Johnny fever like has a meltdown in front of this

260
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:35.679
audience of kids at a teen dance. We were listening

261
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.320
to some kind of synth disco pop, right, and he goes,

262
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.200
this is not music. You kids don't know what you're

263
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:46.559
listening to. This isn't even made by people, right, And

264
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:48.399
that was thirty years I know.

265
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.879
Have you seen the meme of the rock star in

266
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:54.919
the eighties and the rock star today?

267
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:55.600
No?

268
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:58.759
Okay, So it has two pictures, top and bottom. The

269
00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.360
top is a rock star of the eighties and it's

270
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:04.599
some dude lying on the ground, guitar in one hand,

271
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.440
bottle of Jack Daniels and the other passed out. Then

272
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.839
the bottom one is a dude sitting in a chair

273
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.640
with the guitar on his lap, typing on the computer.

274
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:21.559
Well, you know, I'm not sure what to say about that,

275
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.440
but I might be able to find anything polite to

276
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:25.160
say about.

277
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.960
It, right exactly, And that's where we've come to. To me,

278
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:30.759
that's the machines taken over. I remember being worried the

279
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.119
machines are going to take over. They have taken over

280
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:33.839
they have.

281
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:39.559
Dude, my son made that analogy. He's like, Wow, the

282
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:43.599
rise of the machines right in every little way. I mean,

283
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.039
we don't see it because it happens a little bit

284
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:50.319
by little bit, But dude, just the whole thing about

285
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:52.759
whatever we're talking about. Right now, my phone is sitting

286
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.839
next to me, right, and I'm going to get a

287
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.119
whole bunch of stuff in my feet for whatever was

288
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.000
that we just talked about.

289
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.880
It happens to me all the time.

290
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.400
Right, And that's not a new experience. Everybody has that,

291
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:11.319
but we all got used to it and said, Okay,

292
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:12.599
I guess this is okay.

293
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:16.319
How is that we're training it? That's why they give

294
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:18.880
it to us all for free, because we're training it

295
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.440
what to do. And it's interesting because I'm even seeing

296
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:29.119
differences in the current technology like Alexa, Alexa. You you know,

297
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.079
I always felt it was always listening, but it kept

298
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.759
its mouth shut when it knew to kept its mouth.

299
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:36.279
Shuts to be seen and not heard.

300
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:43.000
Right, But just the other day, first time ever, Alexa

301
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:46.799
interrupted me during two separate interviews, and I did not

302
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:47.720
say her name.

303
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.359
Yeah, fucking bitch, right, like.

304
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:54.799
Everyview, all of a sudden she's talking like you fuck her,

305
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.920
you know, and it's like, I'm shutting all this shit off.

306
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:01.039
I do you know.

307
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:05.000
I've said this before. I've told my youngest daughter recently.

308
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:08.799
I'm like, some days I just want to drive down

309
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.279
the road and throw my phone, my iPad and my

310
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.400
computer out the window and keep driving. And she's like,

311
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.960
who you king, Dad, You're just addicted as everybody else.

312
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:21.319
I'm like, yeah, but I also was around all the

313
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.440
time when we didn't have it, and it was a

314
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.039
lot better.

315
00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:28.240
Dude, If I want to get anything done working on music,

316
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:31.000
the first thing I do is take my phone my

317
00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:34.480
iPad and take them downstairs to the wife and put

318
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.519
them on the fucking kitchen day nice where it's uninterruptable.

319
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.680
No one can bring me with a notification of something

320
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:43.319
that they think is important.

321
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.000
I just you know, Or how about this.

322
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.160
You remember what happened to Kirk Hammet where he lost

323
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.519
like I think it was like two hundred and sixty

324
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.079
riffs because they were on his phone and they just

325
00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:59.240
gone no.

I don't remember that, but I believe it. Yeah.

327
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.640
I mean, like, oh my god, it is kind of

328
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:07.920
cool too to have like the old days when you're

329
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.519
writing songs on a cocktail map or something.

330
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.519
Still do, I love it? Still do A pencil and

331
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:17.960
a piece of paper is a weapon.

332
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.880
Right right there you go. So what else can the

333
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:28.279
fans look forward to in twenty twenty five from US?

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.559
So I do festivals here in the US, I do

345
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:17.559
festivals the UK and Europe. I haven't done South America yet.

346
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:20.799
I'm considering actually this year doing the one in some Polo.

347
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:23.480
Where do you love to play?

348
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:28.599
You know, dude, if you haven't been to South America

349
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.240
to see a metal show, you haven't lived.

350
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.200
I heard it's insane, dude.

351
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:41.680
The fans are just full of passion and energy and alive, dude.

352
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.640
Some of the best metal shows happen in South America

353
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:46.680
because the fans are awesome.

354
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.880
I love hearing that, and it is true, like there's

355
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:53.240
so much passion you know where. There's some places I

356
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.920
won't name where, but you know, people are still complaining.

357
00:21:57.319 --> 00:21:59.960
Like I would think after COVID that nobody would be

358
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.119
complain about not live music ever again, you know, right.

359
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:07.880
I mean, I was happy to go see some kid

360
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.039
playing a recorder live if that was my choice during

361
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:12.880
that time, Like I know.

362
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:16.880
Man, it was. It was an awful period for humanity.

363
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:19.480
And I think it was dumb because I think everybody's

364
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.559
so pissed off and attacking each r because they didn't

365
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:24.880
have live music for two years. That's such a release,

366
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:28.319
like it is when something bad happens in my life,

367
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:31.440
I leave it in the mosh pit, dude.

368
00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:38.960
It's such a cathartic type of experience, right, you get

369
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:45.240
all your aggressions out. Yeah, live metal. I fucking love it.

370
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.079
There's nothing better. There's nothing better than the community that

371
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.720
we have in metal. People don't even realize. Some artists

372
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.000
I talked to it are like, yeah, let's not tell them,

373
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:58.359
you know, because that's nuts, well, they say, because we

374
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:01.319
don't want the assholes figuring out that we're not really

375
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:06.160
mean and evil. You know, everybody thinks you're mean and evil.

376
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:12.400
They should read the lyrics sometimes because they make these assumptions.

377
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.720
They don't even know what the lyrics are, and you

378
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.519
will see what metal really.

379
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:21.640
Does for us. Okay, I'll buy that right, you know.

380
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.359
So, man, I'm looking forward to tonight here at the

381
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:31.279
Culture Room. It's insane venue to be in the audience.

382
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:37.359
Yes, yes, I love playing here. We've been playing this

383
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.640
room since you know, the early two thousand wow.

384
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:45.240
Yeah, yeah, I've seen a lot of bands here and

385
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:47.720
