PipemanRadio Interviews Ocean Planet 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.

the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio, And

5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:24.480
I'm here with Ocean Planet Nice here at Bloodstock. And

6
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.800
you know what, I don't need a translator. You speak

7
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:34.159
much better English than he does. Yeah, yeah, what do

8
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.920
you really what you mean? Coca cola? Right? Yeah, yeah,

9
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:38.960
that's what we're talking about.

10
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:40.320
That's what it's the cuffing.

11
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.119
I guess see. I can see it too. You drank

12
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:44.359
a lot of Coca cola.

13
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:46.840
That's why we wear sunglasses. Yeah.

14
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.119
I was just gonna say they're smart, they're wearing sunglasses.

15
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.399
So what's it feel like to be here at Bloodstock?

16
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:55.479
It's been insane.

17
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.359
I've come from so many festivals like this and to

18
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.079
the play one and like see behind the scenes and

19
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.240
like the build up. It's insane. It's like once you

20
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.519
get off stage, it's just such a like WHOA did

21
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:06.120
that just happen?

22
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.959
Right? It seems over so quickly, You're like, WHOA? Is

23
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:10.640
literally insane?

24
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:11.000
Yeah.

25
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.040
I think when I saw the poster of all the

26
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:16.480
names coming up, it's like you're a kid again and

27
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.840
you see like your name there, like Ocean Planet, and

28
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:20.840
it's just like wow, on the same lineup as these

29
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.200
amazing bands, and on Sunday as well with you know, Gorgeira,

30
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.640
one of the bands that essentially shaped our music in

31
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:27.959
a way.

32
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.879
Really, so yeah, it's dream come true. That's way cool,

33
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.159
except maybe they should have been playing new Blood and

34
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:36.719
you play the name stage tonight.

35
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:37.359
That's the spirit.

36
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:44.439
That's all we want right yesterday exactly. Maybe next year, yeah, yeah,

37
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.040
that's the goal for next year, right for.

38
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:47.480
Sure, we definitely want to come back.

39
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.120
So tell us about the road to Bloodstock. You were

40
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.040
a melt to the Mouse's right, yes, which is I

41
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.280
don't know, it's like one of the most badass things.

42
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:58.640
I think we don't have anything like them in the States,

43
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.200
and we should because it gives so many bands not

44
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:07.040
only the opportunity to play Bloodstock, but just get exposure

45
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:11.039
all over it and meet other friends and other bands

46
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.800
and we've you know, win or you do win. Everybody's

47
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.319
supporting each other and then next thing you know, you're

48
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:19.439
going out on tour together.

49
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:20.080
Exactly that.

50
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.439
And like every show from Bloodstock is insane. That always

51
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.560
like on the weekend, and the caliber of bands is

52
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.319
always insane, So It's like you you enter it and

53
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.400
you play a load of good shows and then at

54
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.879
the end, if you manage to survive this gauntlet of talent,

55
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.759
you get to play this massive festival.

56
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.560
It's amazing, like it gets such a.

57
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.599
Super fierce, isn't it. The competition was super fierce.

58
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.080
That's all I keep hearing. Yeah, it's we did.

59
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.120
Twenty twenty four and we got to the finals and

60
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.520
obviously this year we want to. It was just it

61
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:49.800
was incredible hearing.

62
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.680
So do you think it won this year because the

63
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.199
judges gave you advice last year? Because I heard that

64
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.639
they'll help you, and you just applied it and then

65
00:02:58.719 --> 00:02:59.000
you won.

66
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.439
I think we learned a lot from last year. We

67
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.280
absolutely weren't ready last year. I think we were in

68
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.840
a position where we thought we were, but I think

69
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.840
realistically we had a lot more to refine on our life, tone,

70
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.960
our performance. And the first Metal to the Masses of

71
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.840
this year, I really felt that we'd stepped up a game.

72
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.680
But every single gig after that was an improvement on

73
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.080
our sound. I think it had to be otherwise we

74
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.199
would not get past. But the final of this year

75
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:25.599
was amazing. It was like a festival day.

76
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:25.800
Wasn't it.

77
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.240
It's insane, these stacks, and like it was one of

78
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.479
these things where every time a band finished, you're like, oh,

79
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.360
they're really good, they're going to win, and then the

80
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.319
next one like, yeah, it's a very stack competition. And

81
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.759
we made loads of friends of that and loads of contacts,

82
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.879
and the advice we got is like it's just made

83
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.360
us such beat musicians and planning as well.

84
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.360
And well, I know it's about what you said was okay,

85
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.759
the bands that abby gooes don't win, And that's kind

86
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.360
of where I related to for last year, right, like

87
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.520
big every band has won this year, they hadn't. They

88
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.080
didn't think they were gonna win at all. It's true.

89
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.560
Sorry, Yeah, I feel like every band that played this

90
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.319
year and last year, there was never any egos. Everybody

91
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.599
was like well deserving of it, so it was always

92
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.719
gonna be tough. Like I didn't want to wouldn't want

93
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:15.400
to have been a judge, And.

94
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.360
You kind of feel bad when one of the other

95
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.040
bands don't win, even though you're winning. It's like such

96
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.399
a supportive community and not competitive at all.

97
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:25.759
Yeah, that's it.

98
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.560
We made tons of friends through playing metal to the masses.

99
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.879
They all messaged us. Like before we got on stage,

100
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.800
I checked our Instagram dms and it's like ten messages

101
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.120
from all these people we met, like just wishing us

102
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:37.040
good luck, and I just said to them.

103
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.959
The message back was like you're next wow. Could be

104
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:41.439
them next day wow.

105
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.439
And to me, I love hearing that because that's what

106
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:45.800
metals should be all about.

107
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:47.680
It's really yeah, it was.

108
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.639
It's an amazing community. I think Ocean Pant has been

109
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.519
going for quite a number of years, but it's only

110
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:56.319
really materialized into a full band in the last two

111
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.319
to three years. And so when we did twenty twenty four,

112
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.480
it was we were so hungry for it because we

113
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.480
were on a roll, and so when we got to

114
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.439
the finals and didn't progress, it was also kind of

115
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.079
a wake up call that was like, yeah, we need

116
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.439
to refine ourselves because we know we can do so

117
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.519
much better. But I have to say, just the support

118
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.120
from even the competing bands, I can't explain it. It's

119
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.279
just you meet so many people, you get so many contacts,

120
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.560
and it's just such an amazing doorway into other opportunities.

121
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.000
I can't say enough good things about Mats to Masses

122
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.040
and what it provides for like young up and coming bands.

123
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.199
That's what every band says, like you know that they

124
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.399
can't say enough good things. I haven't earned one negative thing,

125
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:43.279
which in twenty twenty five, that's like a fucking miracle, right,

126
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:48.800
And I think twoenty twenty four, you not making it

127
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:53.000
is why you won this year, because sometimes that is

128
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.040
a wake up call and you think, hmm, now what

129
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.319
do I have to do to win?

130
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.680
Yeah, because we were quite crushed and we Sarah, yeah,

131
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:03.680
we were, but and in the moment, I think we

132
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.560
were very gutted even though the other bands, as I said,

133
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.879
all of them deserve to win. So it wasn't really like,

134
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:10.879
oh damn we were better than them, because that wasn't

135
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.279
the case, Like everyone was really good. But I don't

136
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.480
think we were maybe yeah, not quite ready arose now

137
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:18.720
we are, so yeah, we've proved ourselves.

138
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:20.759
How you go out do yourself?

139
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:21.040
Now?

140
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.839
Well that's the thing, isn't it. It's like, obviously I

141
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:25.199
want to really strive to come back.

142
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:25.360
Here.

143
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.160
We're walking around and still ambitious. We're looking around and

144
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.959
seeing other stages and now I'm like, we need to

145
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:31.480
be on that stage. You need to be on this stage.

146
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.079
And it's like continuing. We want to do download, reading, play,

147
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.399
festival circuits amazing and we were really pushed to try

148
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:39.439
and get those opportunities.

149
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.079
And that's that's Sophie Lancaster stage incredible. That that's we

150
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.360
saw that and was like, that's the one, that's what

151
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:46.759
we need.

152
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.120
Yeah, I think that's a lot of band's favorite stage

153
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.000
just because of what it stands for. Yeah, one hundred

154
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.879
and I think every festival in the world should have

155
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.319
something like that, thank God, Bloodstock Doves. But you know,

156
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.959
because listen, we were all in that situation. We're just

157
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.839
all lucky enough to still be here one hundred, you know,

158
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.360
and we need to spread that message of I don't

159
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.439
care who the fuck you are, You're loved and there's

160
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:16.000
no hate.

161
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:16.759
That's it.

162
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.199
Hopefully we could get rid of every government in the

163
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.000
world and that can happen because right now.

164
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.879
Let's replace it with like with pro bands.

165
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.480
Yes, right, I actually have a solution that probably is

166
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:35.160
not practical, but I say, we have a music festival

167
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:39.120
for the whole world and everybody is required to attend,

168
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.040
and then we could all finally be united and love

169
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.160
each other, because that's what happens when you walk out

170
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:48.360
there into a festival.

171
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:49.720
This is oct it said.

172
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.000
Everyone's here with like the same love of music and

173
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:55.519
like playing these metal crowds. It's like when we played

174
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.600
the new Blood stage Rivers and Nile. I think that's

175
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.759
what I call We're playing massive band, had a few

176
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:02.680
people in then by the end it was completely full.

177
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:03.800
So do you know what I mean.

178
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:05.839
There's a massive band, but people are taking their time

179
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:06.959
out to come and see.

180
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.240
An unknown bat. It's amazing and that's what that's why

181
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:10.040
this is so good here.

182
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.160
I'm talking to bands that we're playing in the morning today,

183
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.839
the morning yesterday and they said there were so many

184
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.720
people they couldn't even see the end of him.

185
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:19.600
Like that's insane.

186
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.920
That's a testament to this festival. But to you guys

187
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.000
as a band, because listen, people are hardying all night

188
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.279
long and they're not getting up early. That wouldn't happen

189
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.639
in the States unless it would go jirup playing first,

190
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.919
because they'd be like, I hate that. I go to

191
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:43.360
festivals by myself because in the States they're like, oh,

192
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.279
I'm just going for the headliner. They're good to their concert.

193
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:49.679
We'd be happy to come over and try and win

194
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:51.279
them over. If you need any help, let us know.

195
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.960
Let's make that happen. We're gonna put a message out.

196
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.559
I do all the Danny Wimmer festivals and message out

197
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.480
to him to bring you guys over there, because he

198
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:06.559
does do that. There's this one man, Silly Goose. You

199
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:10.799
heard of him? Okay, it's a great fucking name. And

200
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.279
so this festival I just did last month, it's called Incarceration.

201
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:19.000
It's at shaw Shank Prison. Oh right, you know about it, right,

202
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:19.480
I've heard of it.

203
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.799
It sounds like the ultimate festival. I really want to

204
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:22.080
go to that.

205
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.159
Listen my youngest story, She's always like, so dead, are

206
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.240
you excited about this festival? And I say to her,

207
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.559
I love doing it, but when you do it every weekend?

208
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.840
Am I really excited? And then first time I did

209
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.480
that festival, I called her up. I'm like, I'm calling

210
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.639
you from the prison yard of Shawshank. Now I'm excited.

211
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:42.559
Yeah, what a location.

212
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.320
And then I'm sitting out there taking pictures in this

213
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.519
other band member is taking pictures and he goes, hey,

214
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.080
can you take my picture and I'll take yours. He goes,

215
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.440
look at us, we're fanboying out on Shawshank Prison. It

216
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.559
doesn't get than that right exactly. So what happened was

217
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:04.039
is years back they did the old school punk thing

218
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.799
and just showed up and played in the parking lot

219
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.080
and Danny Wimmer was sitting out there with arms cross

220
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:15.080
and just watch. Next day they played on one of

221
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.919
the stage, the real stages, and now they play all

222
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:18.679
the festivals.

223
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:19.000
That's it.

224
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:20.559
That's the way to do it.

225
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:20.840
Man.

226
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.159
They should do like an international version of play out

227
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:24.960
to the Massive Square and you can go and play

228
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.000
other countries and like same, like country swap, like oh

229
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.320
you win the States, the States found win, they get

230
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:30.679
the UK.

231
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:35.000
What great ideas, great opportunity because how hard is it

232
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.159
for bands from here to go to the States, for

233
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.519
bands from the States to come over here. Nothing a

234
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.759
little harder to go in my country right now, but

235
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.000
in many ways, but that's how you get the exposure

236
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.559
and then who knows what will happen. It's like funny,

237
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.000
I always find that bands in the States are dreamings

238
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.799
to come here or you're and bands over here their

239
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.399
dreamings to go over the States. So there it's where

240
00:10:58.480 --> 00:10:58.879
you're going.

241
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.559
Yeah, it's because we will want to do what happened

242
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.360
in the seventies and eighties, isn't it. We saw that

243
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.120
kind of lifestyle and was like, that's amazing, right, And

244
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:09.639
I think obviously, even though technology is amazing, it's also

245
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:14.320
brought a few issues where anyone can create some insanely

246
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:18.960
well produced, high powered metal in their bedroom essentially, and

247
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:20.960
it would just like it would just bang, and then

248
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.279
loads of bands get together and it just gets to

249
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.639
a point where it's like, you know, how do you

250
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.159
even kind of get through that crowd?

251
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.000
Yeah? Have you ever seen the meme? There's a meme

252
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.360
that has a picture on top of the eighties rock

253
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.639
star and a picture below of today's rock star.

254
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.159
Yeah, a bit different. I imagine the one.

255
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:48.840
Up top the dudes passed out underground bottle with Jack

256
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.519
Daniels in one hand, guitar in the other. The one

257
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.679
at the bomb, the dude's sitting their chair as computer

258
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.879
with the guitar rins lap as he's taken on the computer.

259
00:11:59.399 --> 00:11:59.679
That's it.

260
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:01.919
Because we like pride ourselves on not having a backing

261
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.600
track or anything, so everything everything is played live.

262
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:06.720
Thank you for that. When we go on stage, they

263
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.039
asked that we see the sound guy.

264
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:09.279
How many guitars you got?

265
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.200
Three? Three? You nuts?

266
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.799
It's like when we start doing it, I just feel

267
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.519
like you're taking a risk for the audience and if

268
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:17.679
you suck it up, you fuck.

269
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:18.200
It up kind of thing.

270
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.120
But I also just feel like the audience want to

271
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.559
come and see a unique, one in a million show

272
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.000
that you're going to put on that you can't replicate

273
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:26.919
any other way any other place.

274
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:27.120
You know.

275
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:30.679
It's like everything that happens spontaneous or not happened at

276
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:32.039
that show and you just had to be there for

277
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:33.080
no doubt, you know.

278
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.440
And listen. I think the Grateful Dead. Everybody should follow

279
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.279
what they did. No set was ever the same. That's

280
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.720
why it's such a cultlish thing because they're true musicians.

281
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.919
We need to have true musicianship and fuck ups, yeah,

282
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.480
fuck up tab and people love it.

283
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.960
That's what it's all about. It's the human element. You'll

284
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:53.799
never take that away.

285
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.919
And it's like it's metal, you know, it's supposed.

286
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.879
To be loud, it's supposed to be like this, and

287
00:12:58.960 --> 00:12:59.720
it's gonna be funny.

288
00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:03.919
Nobody really notices, and if they do. Like I was

289
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:08.279
at the US festival in nineteen eighty three Heavy Metal Day,

290
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.360
believe it or not, the headliner was Van Allen okay,

291
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:16.519
and they were doing ain talking about love and Eddie

292
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.240
Van Allen's looking over at David Lee Roth because he's

293
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:23.159
not singing, and like, what the fuck? And David Lee

294
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:26.840
Roth just said to this crowd of three hundred thousand people,

295
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:33.320
I fucking forgot the words, and the whole place roared

296
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.840
like it was the best thing that ever happened.

297
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:37.360
That's real, isn't it? Right?

298
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:42.679
Except one person, one person heckled him, and in typical

299
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:47.399
Dave fashion, point to him and goes, I'm gonna fuck

300
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:48.399
your girlfriend.

301
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:51.840
Can't come back from that, can you?

302
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:53.039
You can't come back.

303
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:57.120
It's probably just like okay, fair enough, right, I I

304
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:58.879
don't have a mic to even like say it come

305
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:00.639
back even if I did, right, And.

306
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:05.799
Then the whole crowd's like, yeah, that's what music it's

307
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.960
all about, especially in metal. Metal is not supposed to

308
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.320
be perfect, yeah, and not a live show for sure.

309
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.320
That's what we like pride ourselves on. We're not going

310
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:15.240
on in pressing play.

311
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:16.639
We are playing.

312
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:19.080
We're not like triggering a machine or something to like

313
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:22.320
start our set. Everything you hear from ambient sounds, that

314
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.440
everything is created live, like there's nothing.

315
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.840
What a concept yeah, right, yeah, play your instrument.

316
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:29.759
Yeah, it's crazy.

317
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.759
Hey, come on listen. I wish when I started playing,

318
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.399
I played drums and guitars, suck at both. I wish

319
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.759
they had backing tracks in my day because then I

320
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:46.480
could be in a band. Nice. But it's better to

321
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.240
be on this side helping promote bands like you, because

322
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.679
you guys are badass. I'm glad you were here at

323
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:57.080
Bloodstock and tell everybody your socials how to reach you,

324
00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.600
how to buy your merch because they can't listen to

325
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:00.879
my show and let's say, buy your murk.
