It has been interesting to say the least, you know,

I mean, this is our first year here just as

22
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.120

23
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.640

24
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.200
we come down from San Antonio. You know a lot

25
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:35.599
of this. A lot of the people down there are

26
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:37.400
really into like scream oh and heavy metal, you know,

27
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.159

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.799
playing here and to see people really enjoy the band,

29
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:44.959
and you know when we're up on stage, people are like,

30
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.519
you know, raising their fists with us, clapping, get really

31
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:48.799
getting into the end of the game.

32
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.159
Uh, it's been it's been amazing.

33
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:51.480
You know.

34
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.120
We've been passing out stickers for the band and just

35
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.959
trying to get people to come check us out, and

36
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.200
a lot of people really just enjoyed.

37
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.159
Us and you know, been to the strip of a

38
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.480
few times hung out.

39
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.920
Ah there you go. Yeah, did Dave take you over

40
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:06.560
there or you just found it on your own.

41
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.360
The first night that we were here, Dave actually found

42
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.639
our photographer during the night, and then the next day

43
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.680
we met up with him over there and hung out

44
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.680
for a little bit. And uh, that's kind of how

45
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.639
we found him, was actually just by going there. We

46
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:22.159
actually hung out with him last night and metow I

47
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:23.439
met up with him over at the striper Pole.

48
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.680
Oh yeah, I was hanging out with them too, But

49
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:27.759
I don't remember if you were there when I was

50
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.039
with them. But then you missed the best part of tonight,

51
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:38.759
going to better than a stripper pole, bus booths and buttholes.

52
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:40.840
I did see that. We passed that a few times.

53
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:42.719
Every time we passed it, like when we're walking around,

54
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.560
nothing was going on there the first few nights, so

55
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:45.039
we were just like.

56
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.280
Okay, you gotta wait till later.

57
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.400
People like leave, they they leave the venue, go to

58
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:54.280
the stripper pole and then they go there, ah.

59
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.240
The stripper poles, the appetizer for everything exactly.

60
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.680
And he used the proper wording because of all the

61
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.159
festivals I do, this one is different.

62
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:04.759
Yeah.

63
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.960
Yeah, Now we know that, you know, Danny Weimer took

64
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.919
over the event, and you know, some stuff is a

65
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:10.080
bit a little bit more.

66
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:10.319
Uh.

67
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.719
I guess, you know, it's not super laid back. I

68
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.240
guess as it usually as we've never like I said,

69
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:15.680
we've never been here. We've had some friends that have

70
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.080
been coming up and have been here for you know, years,

71
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.120
they said that the event is a little different. But

72
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.000
I mean, I mean, we've had a fun time. We

73
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.599
haven't had any issues. Security has been really cool with us.

74
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.719
You know, it's there's been no issues. But I know that,

75
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.240
you know, you do kind of have to watch what

76
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.159
you say and and the way you talk and stuff

77
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:31.439
like that.

78
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:32.759
So we try and keep that in mind.

79
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.479
And the thing about the Danny Wimmer festivals is some

80
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:41.879
people may complain that it's not as lax. Yeah, that's

81
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.879
him protecting the artists. Yeah, I mean protecting the attendees

82
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.360
and running it right instead of like a ship show.

83
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:51.360
Yeah, I mean you don't.

84
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.280
You don't want people walking around backstage and all of

85
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:55.240
a sudden you're like, who is you?

86
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.520
Who are you? Where'd you come from?

87
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.919
You know the way it used to be anybody got

88
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:00.879
backstage and on stage?

89
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.120
Oh yeah, yeah, Now I get it, man. I mean,

90
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:05.719
you know, I know that Netflix.

91
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.000
Yeah, you're right. Actually, Brando is you know would Stock

92
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:08.639
ninety nine?

93
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:10.919
You know that documentary that came out on Netflix and shit,

94
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.280
just watching that, it's like, I understand why they got

95
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.600
so much security nowadays and keep everything pretty tight and

96
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:17.639
you know knit.

97
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:18.720
Yeah, so it.

98
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.680
Makes sense, man, And I think you know, it's hard

99
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.120
as as regular people being out there. You're like, man,

100
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.800
these guys suck and it's you know, they're assholes, and

101
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:28.519
it's like no, man, they're just doing their job. They're

102
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.199
doing what they're paid to do. They're out here enjoying

103
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.959
the festival, but they also have a job to do.

104
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:38.519
And it's also heart being an artist and having no escape, you.

105
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.120
Know, like, to me, this area, the artists area is your.

106
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.399
Escape, Like it doesn't mean you don't want to be

107
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.160
out there with the people or agree to it, but

108
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.920
there's times you need you time and not people like

109
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.240
constantly around you or whatever.

110
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.279
You Yeah, and so for example, we were just in

111
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.360
the catering after we played, we decided to go to

112
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.319
catering eat and I turn around the singer Lamb of

113
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.560
Goddess standing right behind me, you know what I mean.

114
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.680
But I'm not one of those guys who's like, can

115
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.079
I get a picture? Can I get a picture? I'm

116
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.160
just nodded and walked off.

117
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:08.399
You know.

118
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.279
It's just, you know, people have lives there. We're like

119
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:12.360
everybody else, you.

120
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:13.240
Know, exactly.

121
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.720
So you know we're in a restaurant or something like that,

122
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:17.399
you know, just chill out, you know.

123
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.199
Totally, and just be cool.

124
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.680
I tell people that come with me to these festivals

125
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.360
to help me out. I'm like, don't ask for like craft,

126
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.399
don't ask for a selfie. This is their safe zone.

127
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.160
Yeah from that, Yeah, so you know, yeah, it's nice.

128
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:33.959
It is nice.

129
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.800
So how would you guys, as artists, describe to the

130
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:44.120
listeners your music without using a genre a genre without

131
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.680
using a genre like I hate fucking genres because it

132
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:49.040
boxes you in as an artist.

133
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.439
Yeah, yeah, like you have to do it this way.

134
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.839
I don't believe that we work with different sounds.

135
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.839
I mean we're not super heavy, you know, we're not

136
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.879
like scream Oy like I said earlier. But we're also

137
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.480
not super light either in our playing. You know, we

138
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.560
try and have a mix of both heavy songs but

139
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.879
songs that people can you know, really enjoy and connect with.

140
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.720
I mean, as artists, that's what you want everybody to do.

141
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.639
You want to reconnect on your songs and stuff like that,

142
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.279
and so we try to not only get the musical

143
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.920
aspect and the musical feel of these songs, but we

144
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.079
also want people to connect on them on a lyrical

145
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.600
level as well, and so we try and write with

146
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.279
some more I lost the word for a second there,

147
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.759
but all right, more deeper meaning, you know.

148
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.240
And so I think.

149
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.199
Lyrics are totally important, like that's what we relate to.

150
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.839
And that's also misconception when it comes to rock music

151
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.079
metal music. People don't even know the words and they

152
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.360
make these assumptions like what happened with Gojira at the Olympics.

153
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.319
I don't know if you saw, but so many people on.

154
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:51.879
Socials were like there.

155
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:55.879
It is proof of Illuminati and they have this devil

156
00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:01.040
worship band play in the Olympics. It's like, fucking read

157
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.639
the lyrics. Yeah, they are the farthest from devil worship

158
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.120
you could possibly but be.

159
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.639
Yeah, that's saying about whales in the environment.

160
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.720
Yeah, and that's what's what's funny is So I've never

161
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:12.560
been a good urafan.

162
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.560
I never was. I never really listened to that music.

163
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.759
Like I said, I'm not big into that, like screaming

164
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:20.319
and stuff like that. But after watching that performance, I

165
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:21.439
got really in them. I was like, you know what,

166
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:23.199
I really like their performance. I like the song that

167
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.319
they played on ware looking for It. They just recently

168
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:27.879
actually put out that song on their stuff. But I

169
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.439
went and started listening to their music and started looking

170
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.279
at the lyrics. I'm like, Oh, these guys like are

171
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:35.000
talking about the Amazon rainforest and all this other stuff.

172
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:36.759
I'm like, I can get behind this man. You know.

173
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.480
I like what they stand for. I like what they're

174
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.079
pushing for. You know, they're pushing for connection. They're not

175
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.279
looking to make any like you know, go tear down

176
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:44.720
the walls and do all this other stuff.

177
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.079
They're just like making.

178
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.639
They're trying to make Yeah we got they're trying to

179
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.360
make it like we got one home, you know, take

180
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.079
care of it and yeah, but rock about it, you know,

181
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:54.480
keep it interesting.

182
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.600
One and then again like if you're not into that

183
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.959
guy of music, you can't understan stay in the lyrics.

184
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.399
Yeah no, you know, so you automatically think because it's that,

185
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.399
it's like devil worship.

186
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:08.680
Yeah, it's just stupid.

187
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:11.480
And I guess maybe for me as an artist personally,

188
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.720
you know, not into it, but I can respect that art.

189
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.000
You know, there's a lot that goes into it. There's

190
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.160
a lot of It's just like if I was writing

191
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.319
a song and it's the feelings that I had, but

192
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.560
they're just conveying. There's differently and that's what's cool about

193
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.600
you know, music is everybody you know interprets things differently.

194
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:32.200
You know, it's all conveyed differently, and it's just a

195
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:33.639
it's a very beautiful thing.

196
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:33.919
Man.

197
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.679
You know, I don't take it for granted any any time.

198
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.799
I don't take having music in my life for granted

199
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:39.120
at all.

200
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.480
Outside of your band, each one of you probably has

201
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:48.440
a different answer. What is the most impactful lyric you

202
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.320
ever heard in a song? That you related to and

203
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:52.399
impacted your life.

204
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.399
I think for me, I mean, there's several songs that

205
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.039
I could think of, but it's by alter Bridge.

206
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:00.159
It's life Must go On.

207
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.120
And the line is the sun always sets, the moon

208
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.320
always falls. It feels like the end. Just pay no

209
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.759
mind at all and keep rolling, keep rolling, Life.

210
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:10.080
Must go on.

211
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:10.799
I love it.

212
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:12.559
You know, there's a lot that goes on with life,

213
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.000
especially even in the music business. It's all not it's

214
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.879
not all glamour, you know. No, there's fights, there's issues,

215
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:19.960
you know, there's stage grumlins like we had earlier today.

216
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.679
We had some stage grumlins when we were playing. But

217
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.240
you get through it, you know, and you have a

218
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:25.159
good time. You know.

219
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:27.840
You have to look at the positives, so totally now

220
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:29.960
and there is a lot of shit to deal with.

221
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:35.240
So the good part is making music. But then there's

222
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.759
everything else you have to deal with that people don't

223
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.159
realize you have to deal with.

224
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.519
They're like, oh, what a great life.

225
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.799
You just get up there and play around and you know, travel,

226
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.200
and that's come on, Yeah, that's not.

227
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.600
What it is, that's not how it works. But what

228
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.600
about you, Johnny, You got any lyrics? Yeah?

229
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.320
I do. You might be expecting this, but it is

230
00:09:55.320 --> 00:10:01.879
a dream theater song, I am, but it's the Ministry

231
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.559
of Lost Souls. It's like a fifteen minute song, but

232
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.840
it's about someone who kind of sacrifices themselves to save

233
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.480
another person they love, and just the way they deliver

234
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.440
the message and kind of like go about it. It's

235
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.399
kind of a slower song, but it picks up at

236
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.399
the end it kind of gets like hopeful. But just

237
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:27.360
listening to it, it does make me to ride sometimes.

238
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:30.360
Nice. It should give you an emotional response.

239
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:32.519
Yeah, that's really what music is about for me, is

240
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.200
that it makes people feel something, whether it's like anger

241
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:40.240
or sadness or happiness, whatever, but you move someone to

242
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.200
feel something, and that's really the goal.

243
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:45.399
Do you have one? Oh?

244
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:49.159
Yeah, So this one is relatively simple. It's from a

245
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.639
Chili Peppers song that I it's my favorite song of

246
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.200
all time. It's called Goodbye Angels, and it's just one

247
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.320
lyric that really resonated with me at the time. It's

248
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.000
suicide is never gonna save you.

249
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.679
I love that. Yeah.

250
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.039
My old thing in life has always been every time

251
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.039
I was down in that dark place.

252
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.240
Yeah, what if it's worse?

253
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.240
Yeah? Rock Bottom. All has always got a basement.

254
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.519
Right like, and if you kill yourself, what if it's worse,

255
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:17.440
then where you go exactly what you're gonna do?

256
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:21.840
Yeah, you're now, Yeah, wherever you are, you're there or now.

257
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:22.399
Yeah.

258
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.799
So that's what always kept me from never thinking about

259
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:29.320
doing something like that. Absolutely doesn't work for everybody, and

260
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.519
that's the key. Everybody has fine what works for them?

261
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:32.039
Absolutely?

262
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:33.360
How about you?

263
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.840
What about Yeah?

264
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.759
I was thinking about while you guys were talking, And

265
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.799
one song in particular I can say is called Dark

266
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:47.519
Signs by sleep Token, and that song in particular is

267
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:52.960
about just about depression. The cryptical lyrics in the beginning

268
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:57.600
of the song it's all real, mellow, real smooth, and

269
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.759
again it just talks about depression of the singer with

270
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.559
his love that he cannot really reach, that he feels

271
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.440
he just feels one way, he feels happy with him,

272
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:15.399
but the other way he feels not so disconnected, puts

273
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:19.399
a block over because he doesn't trust this this entity.

274
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:25.120
And so I really love the sound that they produced

275
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.960
in that song and overall the music that they've they've

276
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:29.399
put out.

277
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:31.320
I listened.

278
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.080
I listened to their albums like take Me Back to

279
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:40.320
Eden Sundowning and it's very very good stuff.

280
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:42.919
Nice. Now.

281
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.840
One of the things I love about those answers is

282
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.960
that it shows that your band is unique because you

283
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.200
have so many different influences that come into music. If

284
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.440
I nowadays a lot of bands if follow like this

285
00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:59.799
algebraic equation.

286
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.600
Form me a lot, yeah, and this is how you

287
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:02.879
do it.

288
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:08.000
And I think the blending of different genres influences is

289
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:10.879
what makes a band like your stick out against the rest.

290
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.360
Yeah, And for me, like music, you can there there

291
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:17.720
is some algorithm to it, you know what I mean.

292
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.759
But but in our experience, there's never really been like

293
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.919
a set way of making music, you know, I mean, yeah,

294
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.840
nothing is consistent. I saw an interview with Stevie Ravaugh

295
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.360
and they asked him a question about like him, like

296
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.720
the way that he plays compared to the way that

297
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:36.000
Jimmy Hendrix played, and he was like, well, Jimmy Hendrix

298
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.600
was inspired by other people.

299
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.960
You know that were you know, older than him.

300
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.759
And then you know, Stevie Ravon was inspired by Jimmy

301
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.000
Hendrix and you know other different people, you know, and

302
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.120
that's kind of how it goes. You know, It's like

303
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:53.399
we're inspired, Yeah, it's a cycle, you know. But some

304
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:55.679
people like to just go for one thing and they're like, yeah, no,

305
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.879
we want to sound exactly like these people. And especially nowadays,

306
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:00.639
I know that that's going on a lot music as

307
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:02.559
a lot of people are trying to sound like everybody else.

308
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:04.720
And it's like, but you want to build on top

309
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.080
of that, you know, you can jump on the train

310
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.159
or you can start start up a whole new new.

311
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.600
Thing, because you're not gonna go on anywhere like that,

312
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.360
because then how do you stand now and it's.

313
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:16.960
Already been done?

314
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:19.720
Yeah, So why is somebody to chews you over to

315
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:21.039
one that originally did it?

316
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:21.399
Yeah?

317
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.919
And for me, for me, if you're going to do

318
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.279
if you are going to follow a pattern or follow

319
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.480
another type of music or sound like that, go for

320
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.240
something that doesn't have a lot of stuff in it.

321
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:34.320
Like for us, we all agree that alter Bridge is

322
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.399
a very great band, great lyrics. He's one of the

323
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.879
most amazing singers I've ever heard. To me, the best

324
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:42.360
singer of all time. You know, he's up there with

325
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:47.320
Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington and everybody. And we try

326
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:51.080
and sound similar to them because of the impactfulness of

327
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:54.519
their music and their lyrical writing, but we also try

328
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:55.840
and have our own stuff with it.

329
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.240
You know.

330
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:57.919
It's like we want to have the same kind of

331
00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.840
feeling and we want to give the same feeling.

332
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:01.240
Because there's I'm a lot of out there like that.

333
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.039
The only other band that's really liked that is like

334
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.639
Seven Dust and Mammoth, you know, and Mammot's up and

335
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.240
come in and they've got some really good stuff. It's

336
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.759
another band that had some really impactful lyrics from from

337
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.840
one of their songs, you know that what he talks about,

338
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.399
it's basically tell him talking about his father's death, you know,

339
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:18.200
and you know, just a great, great song man.

340
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:23.960
Totally and yeah, I mean for me, I'll give you

341
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.799
my lyric. It's from bring Me to the Horizon. I

342
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.080
Can't drown my demons. They know how to swim. I'm like,

343
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.960
that's fucking brilliant.

344
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:36.080
That is it really is.

345
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:37.120
It's so true.

346
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.039
Yeah, you know, and it's stuff like that that can

347
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:41.919
change your life.

348
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.639
That's why it's lyrics are so important.

349
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:46.120
Yeah, they really are.

350
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.120
Man, they can they can either uplift a song or

351
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.039
bring a song down. You just gotta you gotta flow it,

352
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.159
and you gotta make sure what you're saying. You know,

353
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:57.600
you got to know that at all times, whatever you

354
00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:59.639
say is gonna make it. It's like being on social media,

355
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:01.840
you know, Yeah, whatever you put out is going to

356
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.480
be seen and it's going to be interpreted like differently.

357
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:06.600
But you want it to be interpreted in a good way.

358
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.080
But that's not always the case. But you you try and.

359
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:12.960
Try to go for that totally.

360
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:18.039
And I think too you're great musicians and great artists

361
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:23.399
have a and you have a signature sound is what counts,

362
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:28.240
you know, Like you were talking about Mammoth, anybody hears

363
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:35.399
Eddie his guitar, you know it's Eddie, you know Mark Tremani,

364
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.279
you know it's him. Yeah, you know, And that's how

365
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:39.279
I think any.

366
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:43.039
Artist needs to do. Like yeah, so certain degree of formula,

367
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:44.639
but then.

368
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.759
You have to add what's you that people can say

369
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.519
that's this band?

370
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:53.879
You got to balance stuff.

371
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.039
Out, you know exactly, how do people reach you on

372
00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:00.679
your socials on the web, buy your merch because it's

373
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:02.720
the only way bands survive nowadays.

374
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:04.680
Yeah, you know, I know that.

375
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.599
I think people don't realize how much.

376
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:10.920
It costs a lot, you know, just specifically for us,

377
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.200
we just took a motor home and a truck out here,

378
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.640
you know, and the motor home on a full tank

379
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:17.920
of gas is two hundred dollars.

380
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.559
Yeah, just for a full tank and that that's you

381
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.759
like five feet yeah.

382
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:22.519

00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:46.000
us out. You know, like you said earlier, we survive

419
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:49.039
off of you guys listening to us in US selling merch. Fortunately,

420
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.200
we don't have merch for sale online because even that

421
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:54.240
is expensive. It's seventy dollars a month just to sell

422
00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:55.000
a few shirts.

423
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:56.160
Wow, that's bullshit.

424
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.279
It's yeah, it's insane. So we had to end up

425
00:18:58.319 --> 00:18:59.960
taking that down. But you know, come check us out

426
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:01.720

No, I know.

00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:05.039
We've made special shirts just for this.
