PipemanRadio Interviews Paleface Swiss 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.

And I'm here with I'm from pale Face. Nice to

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:22.399
meet you.

7
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.320
Nice to meet you here at bloodstock Man right. Oh

8
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.239
my fucking guy. I do a lot of festivals. This

9
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:31.000
is my favorite because it's nice.

10
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.039
It's such a true metal festival.

11
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:33.880
Oh yeah, I heard that.

12
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:34.600
Yeah.

13
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.240
I also heard that this festival is at they festival.

14
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.920
So yes, it's like I'm even more stoked to be

15
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.119
here because of that.

16
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:43.079
Isn't that cool?

17
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:43.880
Like crazy?

18
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:44.200
See?

19
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.600
I love that because I'm from the States. I do

20
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.880
all of them in the States, I do UK, I

21
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.880
do Europe. Then the States has become typical America, like

22
00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:00.439
these corporate festivals that you know, it's just all about

23
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:07.319
the business instead of the music. And that's why I

24
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.239
love Bloodstuff because they're so into the music and they're

25
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:12.000
so into it.

26
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.599
Yeah, music should be a passion, definitely.

27
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:20.000
I've always said that when it comes to the creativity

28
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:24.840
of music, the business people do your business part, but

29
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.959
stay away from the artists. I came from the eighties

30
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.959
where I sat backstage and watch these artists being told

31
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.599
by record labels how their music should sound.

32
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.040
Creativity. You are to create, you know.

33
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.840
Of course there has to be business parts for that.

34
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.159
Everything works right, but everybody has their part, right, it

35
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.959
has to be splitting up and listen.

36
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.480
The best artists in the world have always just not

37
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.120
listened to those suits and just did what they want.

38
00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:00.879
Ozzie perfect example, like Ozzy always was on the apologetically

39
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.319
Ozzie and did whatever the fuck he wanted.

40
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.480
Yes, definitely, you know, and that is.

41
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.520
Why he's the legend, and that's why he lasted so long.

42
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.479
And you would never think with all the Shenanigans that

43
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.199
he would have been who he is today.

44
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:16.960
Yes, right, but that is why.

45
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.039
What was that for you when he passed away.

46
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.840
I've seen him every year since nineteen eighty I saw

47
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:24.280
you a year.

48
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:26.400
I saw him at Randy Rhodes.

49
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:27.520
Oh my god.

50
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.280
I knew it was coming though, Oh my god, because

51
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.080
even a few years ago, I said, Jaron was trying

52
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.319
to get him to retire. I'm like, if Ozzy doesn't

53
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.919
do live shows, he will probably pass away because he

54
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.439
just so loves being up there. That was amazing and

55
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:48.680
I felt that his last performance, he said better than

56
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:49.759
he had in years.

57
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.280
Yeah, right, like he was the same good. I thought

58
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.360
the same. That was actually surprised how good.

59
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.080
They were, right, Like I didn't think Also he as a.

60
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.639
Person, he was so oh, barely find words for this.

61
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.159
It's amazing. Like even like I was just saying the

62
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.000
last interview, I was seeing an interview with Tony Iomi

63
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.000
just this morning and he said, yeah, Ozzie used to

64
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.000
come up to me on stage, not of the crowd

65
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.400
would see, like backstay crowd, and he would make faces

66
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:18.479
at me during the show.

67
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.719
Nice, that's how it works, right right, I always have

68
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.280
a good time just having a blast.

69
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.000
Right because listen, if you're not having a blast in

70
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.639
this business, learn the wrong business.

71
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.120
There's a lot of shit of the business.

72
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.719
So you might as well be having fun. And if

73
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.439
you're not having fun on stage, how am I having

74
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:37.520
fun out there?

75
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:38.039
Yes?

76
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.240
I love looking at bands and just look at him

77
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.319
at I'm more concerned than them having fun than playing

78
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:44.360
the notes properly.

79
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.560
And that's key too. We were talking. I was talking

80
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:47.759
about that with somebody the other day.

81
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.960
It's like, I like when bands fuck up on stage

82
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.960
because that means they're really playing the music. Yes, if

83
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:55.919
you're not really playing the music, it's not going to

84
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.280
be perfect. So for the listeners out there that have

85
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.560
never heard your music, how would you describe it? I

86
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.879
don't mean genre fuck genres that artists should not be

87
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:07.759
boxed into a fucking label.

88
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.319
I think we already heaviest spent on this planet.

89
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:12.919
Yes, there you go.

90
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.639
But we love to experiment, so you can expect anything

91
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:17.439
from our music.

92
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.079
But we always try to follow this the heavy route.

93
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.480
But we do whatever we want to be honest.

94
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:26.160
That's key right there.

95
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.279
If you want me to put us in our box.

96
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:29.040
I don't want to box.

97
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.279
I could not because we do everything.

98
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.759
I love it. I love it and so have you

99
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:36.079
played Bloodstock before?

100
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.600
It's our ever first it's our first ever UK festival today.

101
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.439
Wow, Wow, unbelievable.

102
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:43.560
I also sell you.

103
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.600
So you're gonna be on tour in Australia, Yes, which

104
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.680
I'm a surfer so I love that.

105
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:50.399
Nice. Have you been to Australia?

106
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:51.639
Well, here's the flying thing.

107
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.040
I've been all over the world, ewnans in Bali for

108
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.560
a couple of months, but I was gonna go to

109
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.480
Australia because I'm like, oh, Perth, there's only three hour

110
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.920
flight and then I looked up. I'm like, oh fuck,

111
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.279
you have to do this whole process to even get

112
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.319
a visa to go there. I didn't realize. So now

113
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.199
I have to go back because it is to make

114
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.439
gold mine since I'm a teenager. They go to surf Australia, Yes,

115
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.040
do it because like where else in the world is

116
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.000
it better to right?

117
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.240
You know? So are you excited about that tour?

118
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.920
Of course, it's our first headline tour in Australia. We

119
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.079
toured there a year ago and the response was unbelievable,

120
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:28.439
was crazy.

121
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.319
So we thought I'll just not come back as a headliner.

122
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.240
What do you think of the crowds there?

123
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.839
Like it's crazy, like the energy is on match, that's

124
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.160
i'd say. I'd say, yes, yeah.

125
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.360
I'm super stoked to go back there as a headliner.

126
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:43.079
Nice.

127
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.560
So how do you think how did they receive you

128
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.160
last time, and how you think it's going to be

129
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:50.759
this time?

130
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.480
Even more crazy? Right because the people they come because

131
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:55.040
of us.

132
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.040
What's the craziest thing you've seen in the crowd at

133
00:05:58.079 --> 00:05:59.079
any of your shows.

134
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.519
I saw a lot of crazy things, but once there

135
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.959
was a wheelchair like crowdsurfing and.

136
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:08.319
I've seen that too. That's badass.

137
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:09.600
It's pretty sick.

138
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.199
And I also love like good old like pushpits, good

139
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:14.959
old circle pits, so me too.

140
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:22.560
See, I want CrowdSurf because I when I was like seventeen,

141
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.160
I was at show. I got up on the stage,

142
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:28.519
I climbed up on the.

143
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.839
Marshall stack swan dive.

144
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.360
I was midair and the crowd moved and I hit

145
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.240
teeth first into the floor. So now I'm fucking trust anybody,

146
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.240
but I'll go into a pit because then I'm in

147
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.600
control sick and it's best therapy.

148
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:44.759
Man Like.

149
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.160
People don't get what the pit's all about. It's not

150
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:51.199
about hurting and naming people. It's about getting that aggression

151
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.720
out so you don't hurt and name people in the

152
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.199
real world. Right, you know, I've had things happen in

153
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.839
me that like, we're devastating, and I just went to

154
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:03.399
a show, got in the pit, and laid all that

155
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:04.800
pain in the pit.

156
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.560
Yes, that's what the male community is here for, exactly.

157
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.800
People don't get. It's funny. I'll tell you a funny story.

158
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.199
So one year I had to do two festivals in

159
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.199
one weekend. So obviously I can't do that, so I

160
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.079
sent somebody else from my station to do one of them.

161
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.079
She had never been to a rock show ever, much

162
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.120
less a metal show. She was a country girl. And

163
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:28.959
I said to her, I'm like, you're gonna have the

164
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.800
best fun ever. Yeah, right, like country shows, I said

165
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.720
to her. Country shows are no fun. It's a bunch

166
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.360
of rednecks drunk getting into fights. Yes, And you're so

167
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.000
scared of going to because she's scared of them. You're

168
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.920
so scared of going a smell show. We don't have fights.

169
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:44.279
Nope.

170
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.079
Everybody loves each other. We're like this big family.

171
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.920
And I said, you'll probably meet a guy, You'll make

172
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.519
all these new friends. Blah blah blah blah. She comes

173
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.279
back of der the weekend She's like, oh my god,

174
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.399
you're so right. Like I have a new boyfriend now,

175
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.839
and I have this new band that I really love.

176
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.439
I don't know if you know who they are. They're

177
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:10.600
called Bring Me the Horizon See. And I was like, there,

178
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:11.720
I go see.

179
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.160
I love that story, right, super nice.

180
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:17.319
You know, we're just this big family and in some

181
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.360
ways a bunch of softies, and it's like people think

182
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.879
we're like some bands have said to me I'm like

183
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.879
friends with let's keep them thinking we're scary so they

184
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:28.079
don't ruin it.

185
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:29.759
Yeah right, I love that thought.

186
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.879
So what started you on this journey? What's that one

187
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.120
moment where you're like you knew this is what you

188
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:35.519
had to do.

189
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:40.080
I once met the guitarist of Elis Cooper okay, and

190
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.080
he played some riffs for me, like like schools out

191
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.879
and whatever, so and that was like and then we

192
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.279
were driving back in the car and my mom was driving.

193
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.159
I was like, Mom, I want to do this. I

194
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.000
want to play guitar. And that's why I stand here

195
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:54.559
basically nice.

196
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.679
So yesterday I was in the campground hanging with some

197
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.960
dudes and they asked me if I was interviewing your

198
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.879
band and I was like yeah. And one of them

199
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.080
I forget his name now, but he said, well tell him.

200
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.360
I said, fuck you. But he's a fan, not in

201
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:14.480
a bad way. It's like somebody I think that knows you, Okay, okay,

202
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.679
personally all right, it's being funny, so I don't know.

203
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.240
So I relayed the message.

204
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.879
All right, But let's hear how people can reach out

205
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.279

206
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.399

207
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:28.519

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.120
career here in the UK, my entire career with Machine.

228
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.200
She recently passed away and it was a very very

229
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.919
sad day, and I can tell you the reason that

230
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.840
I'm gonna tell this story is because she was family.

231
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:47.799
She was Bloodstock family, she was heavy metal UK family.

00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.200
