00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.799
say, though, you should feel
honored because normally I won't do like one

10
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.879
festival after another because like, what
else is there to talk about, like

11
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.040
type of thing, And a lot
of times bands don't want it. And

12
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:19.239
there was one other band that also
asked me, and I said, I

13
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.560
gave the same response I gave you, and they're like, yeah, well

14
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:27.439
maybe you're right. I'm like,
okay, but yeah, And so for

15
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.359
that reason it's why I'm like,
yeah, I should interview them, because

16
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.439
they got more to say. Yeah, So now what more do you have

17
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.480
to say besides how hot this fuck
it is? Here after Shock, time

18
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:46.920
of our lives man like dream come
true for me, especially like huge stage,

19
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.079
huge bands. How this ship on
the West coast. Man, I

20
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.319
couldn't be happier. This is what
I want to do and you even have

21
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.599
to after Shock bracelet, Yo.
So after we played, went down to

22
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.200
go thank some people you know,
on the barricade over standing in the heat

23
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.879
and sweating their asses off with us, and this girl like made these bracelets

24
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.319
and said you gotta have it.
You're right, it is the new thing.

25
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.680
Like somebody made one that said media
crew for me and one that may

26
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.479
said pipe man Like, Okay,
I gotta wear it. You made it

27
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.319
for me. But it is cool, it's awesome. What else do we

28
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.120
want to talk about about, you
guys that we didn't get to talk about

29
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:30.520
last time you got going on.
I don't remember what we talked about last

30
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:31.080
time. It was just a couple
of weeks ago, wasn't, I know?

31
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.719
Right? It all like floats in
your head, right, yeah?

32
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.599
But you know, So here's what
to talk about louder after Shock? Which

33
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.800
one did you like better? See? That's a hard one, this one

34
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.400
after I mean, they're both,
they're both amazing, but this one and

35
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.560
the reason I mean, look,
we got we were on the Shockwave stage.

36
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:57.280
We were on the Shockwave stage opening
that and then just this morning after

37
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.199
Shock posted that they moved us to
the main stage. Nice because Corey Taylor

38
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.759
had to cantle, you know.
So that's one of those things that that's

39
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.919
never a bummer. That's just not
only that's an amazing thing to put on

40
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.719
your resume, but when you go
out there and just kind of like slay

41
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.879
it, like you're you know,
for all intensive purposes, you're you're you're

42
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:19.000
setting off the main stage. That's
why Corn's playing three elevens and all those

43
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.280
people that are sitting there all day
long just to wait for Corn are there

44
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.159
for your show. Well, and
that's the thing for me, Like I'm

45
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.479
always a fan of music, I'm
always a fan of my predecessors, and

46
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.800
getting to share the space with them, Yes, comrades, like respectable comrades,

47
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.919
Like that's that's the epitome, you
know, of reaching your new achievements.

48
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.759
Man, and doing that here with
the dopest people. You don't want

49
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.560
to stop. So I can't say
which one's better, but it just keeps

50
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.680
getting better, you know why.
I like this one better? Back here?

51
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.240
Okay, this is a fucking coys
media place. Ever, I I

52
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.039
do so many festivals, but look, we got couches, we got seats.

53
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:08.080
All the artists want to be back
here, which normally they don't want

54
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:15.040
to be in the media. Ten
free alcohol drip bar and a scoremet chef

55
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.560
making us food. And the misters. You got the cool misters by the

56
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:24.040
front, the misters, and you
know what, I like the screams because

57
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.519
I get stuck back here. I
can't see sets. So sometimes I'm doing

58
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.360
interviews and the band I wanted to
see is up there, so I'm like

59
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.399
watching that while I'm doing the interview. I think the only thing that's missing

60
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.279
is maybe like a little swamp cooler
or some kind of thing into the coolest

61
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.240
place now. A pool, Yeah, exactly, we need a pool back

62
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.519
here. Yeah, an above ground
pool everybody can just jump and do.

63
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:49.319
Oh that I would just filter fuff
just especially this right, Yeah, especially

64
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.839
it's hot. You know you need
a pool. It's funny at Louder Life.

65
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.439
Were you at the after party on
Saturday night? No, because we

66
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.160
played Sunday. We got there the
next day after we heard Killer Mike set

67
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.879
it off and we missed that.
The reason I was bringing that up because

68
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:11.360
you know what's funny about that ship? Ninety percent of the people there did

69
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.560
not know he was in Run the
Jewels. Oh really, of course not.

70
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.240
It was too fucking funny. Cats
went up on stage. They made

71
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.759
a joke, they said, we're
your token rappers for the festival. I

72
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.600
was fun Oh right, Isaac,
Oh my god, but it was so

73
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.879
funny. How many it would be
funny? Like, oh shit, he

74
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.480
like they see up on stage,
like, oh my god, I could

75
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.079
have talked to him last night,
but I just saw it was just some

76
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:42.639
DJ, right of course, Oh
my god, So what you got coming

77
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.680
up after after shock? We might
have said this last time, but we'll

78
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.439
just this is the kind of stuff
that you can repeat. There you go.

79
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:55.600
So we're going on tour with the
Killer's Confession and Buff Snakes. Oh

80
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.879
Midwest, I'm gonna hit one of
the great places. You know what you

81
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:06.040
know? You remind me of Whaling
like looks wise really yeah, like a

82
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:15.199
younger verse, a younger verse,
but you know, without all the it's

83
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:16.800
kind of like you guys could be
related. Yeah, maybe we are.

84
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.439
You never know, you never know. We're gonna rock with those cats.

85
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.240
We also have some leading shows they
are gonna be those aren'tn ounteps, so

86
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.720
I don't want to. I don't
wanna uh jinx those Yeah, that was

87
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.160
smothering. And then uh, new
music music. I think we might have

88
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.160
brought up last time we're here.
We got a new we'll have a new

89
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.959
track coming out, and then uh
we'll go home. See what next tours

90
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.040
we're gonna be on next new music. I mean, this is the kind

91
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.680
of thing that you don't really take
any breaks until you finally make it.

92
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.959
And then when you finally make it
big, you shouldn't take any breaks because

93
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.240
you could douse the fire of finally
making it right exactly, Well, really

94
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.600
it's just figure for the rest of
your life, you're not taking a break.

95
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.680
Like look at Ozzy. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, well you know,

96
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.240
poor thing, poor Ozzie. It's
like he's forced to stop now and

97
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.480
he doesn't want to know. You
know. I think if he doesn't performed,

98
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.600
he will and that's what's been keeping
him alive all this year. Yeah,

99
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.040
you know, because he says he
wants one more show. Yeah,

100
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:11.319
and you know how it is.
That's an artist, Okay, Like if

101
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.639
you're doing this your whole life and
then all of a sudden, you can't

102
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.720
do it anymore. What would your
purpose be anyway else? Is there?

103
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.160
Right, it's the same athletes go
through the same thing. It's exactly very

104
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.240
hard for them to walk away from
there. You know, they stay a

105
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.839
couple of weeks. That's why boxers
do what they do. You know,

106
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.680
it's hard. It's hard to feel
like you can't do it anymore, right

107
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.319
exactly. I mean, I think
with music one of the interesting things is

108
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:41.319
like hard music, heavy music,
it's based on aggression, and you know,

109
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.720
in the vocals, the vocals are
based on on pretty being pretty,

110
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.040
pretty strong and aggressive, you know
what I mean. So as you get

111
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.800
older, it's it's a little bit
tougher to do, you know. Yeah,

112
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:51.720
it's the reason why the Stones can
keep doing what they're doing. Mick

113
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.360
Jaggertan still sing the same way,
it's seventy years old, because of his

114
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.879
his range. You know, he's
not a high singer. I feel you

115
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.519
on because I was a teenager.
I sang thrash metal. Sometimes on my

116
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.399
show, I'll sing one song and
I'm halfway third. I'm like, my

117
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:11.000
throat's fucked because I never learned how
to do it right either. So I'm

118
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.560
like and I'm fucking up my throat. I'm like, yeah, I don't

119
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.160
know how somebody does that for three
hours. Well that's and that's and to

120
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.439
chime in on the benefit of like
where we are now with everything that we

121
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.759
achieve as we move forward, it's
it's a new level of excitement, you

122
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.879
know what I mean, Because yeah, when you've done playing a set,

123
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.519
when you're done rehearsing or jam or
whatever, you're tired as fuck. But

124
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:31.960
then you're like, yeah, but
then we get to do this, and

125
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.480
then we get to do that,
and then some noses came up, and

126
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.200
then we got the main stage,
like well shit, Like it's like,

127
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.919
you can't always something look forward,
so does them to look forward to?

128
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.120
It's and it's cool. Like people
ask me all the time, like,

129
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.080
well, what's it like doing it
when you're late, like making it further

130
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.559
when you're later. It's like,
bro, and there's no there's no slowing

131
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.799
down unless I actually quit, And
there's just no way that's happening. And

132
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.360
you're always gonna want to outdo yourself, Well you got you gotta push yourself,

133
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.960
but you gotta be smart too.
It's like, uh, you know,

134
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.480
kind of gone of those is getting
all fucked up and being you know,

135
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.279
like partied out, like it's you
know, that's fun to watch back.

136
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.159
I mean, like I love the
notion how wasted Aerosmith wash was.

137
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:13.159
I was there and the Sunset Strip
in the eighties with all those bands,

138
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.039
like, well we okay, so
what we did was you know, we

139
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.559
said we went on at one thirty, right, I'm pretty sure it was

140
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.120
one hundred and thirty degrees as well. Oh yeah, right, So if

141
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.440
you're not in some fairly decent shape, even though you're just playing half an

142
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.120
hour, you ain't gonna get through
half of that. And and we're like

143
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.919
a very active physical band, so
we're jumping around. It's like when I

144
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.080
was done, my legs felt like
marshmallows, right, and I do this

145
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.679
all the time, but it's just
like it's even that much hotter that much

146
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.480
say, so, you know,
if you aren't keeping your ship together and

147
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.000
keeping sound mentally and keeping sound as
physically as you can, it's gonna be

148
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.279
a short ride you And this is
like we were just getting started. So

149
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.720
yeah, you like Ozzie at this
at this venture, I know, right,

150
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.440
just you know exactly, you know, Ozzie was a part of the

151
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.919
late sixties and seventies. You know, we're here now where it's like,

152
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.039
oh yeah, we're drinking alcohol,
but it's a seltzer. I know.

153
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.759
I get sure to hydrate with plenty
of nice water and eating well and some

154
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.960
lay out, you know. Or
when I'm hanging out with my friend Rob

155
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.039
the Basis of Godsmack backstage and instead
of falling over like fucked up as all

156
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.120
hell, like in the eighties,
we're showing each other pictures of our grandchildren

157
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.320
in their life. Phone probably doings
like people think backstage it's like, ooh,

158
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.320
I gotta go backstage, And that
was true at one time. Now

159
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.159
it's like I've taken people backstage and
they're like, where's backstage. I'm like,

160
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.559
you're in it. Well. The
problem that happens too is like that

161
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.320
stuff got exploited by like the vh
ones and the shows like where you know,

162
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.879
people saw that, and we're probably
very embarrassed because those a lot of

163
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.440
those women are grandma's now and families, and so you know, it's like,

164
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.159
look, it's not like it's not
it's not boring, like nothing happens,

165
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.399
but you know, it's just different. Yeah, you know, so

166
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.720
give out your guys, socials website, all that stuff. Final words we're

167
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.679
everywhere are ed d s t r
at Red Star music. I feel like

168
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.960
this at this point out people can't
find stuff online. They should uh yeah,

169
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.039
they should take a rocket shipped outer
space. Is that why we're sending

170
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.279
me on there? Probably? Yeah? Probably probably. Yeah, Hey that's

171
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.480
the pleasure. That's a trifecta.
We interviewed with you three times this year

172
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.039
with I Know, Rockville, Louder
than Life and Aftershock we got the d

173
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.720
w P thing. He knows all
about that hat trick there it is.

174
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.840
I'm a huge hockey fan. Oh
yeah, huge hockey fan. I coached

175
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.759
hockey, played hockey and it was
a season ticket, second row blue line

176
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:41.759
for the Devils bro my the bantam
hockey team. My coach came to our

177
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:48.080
show what we played with. Uh, fame on fire. And you gotta

178
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.000
be you gotta be a Deaycade parent
when you coach hockey, because like my

179
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.279
son, I coached him in hockey
four am on Sunday, we're the games

180
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.559
when it's freezing out and the sun's
not even out. Yeah, it's like

181
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:05.279
dedication, you know. And that's
it's awesome you say that because we referenced

182
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:11.360
in the band a sports and like
the athlete and gladiator mentality. And if

183
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.200
you are an athlete or if you
have played sports man, if you can

184
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.480
translate that to anything else you do, you're gonna be fine, you know,

185
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.000
no doubt what here. The thing
is with music and sports, right,

186
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.320
rock music is a little bit more
synonymous with sports. I would say,

187
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.960
you know, especially metal, because
metal and hockey to me go hand

188
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.639
in hand. I want to crush
people on the ice and then I want

189
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.080
to crush there, and there's a
there's a like mindedness that you know,

190
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.519
some some artists are they're they're just
that they're artists and they don't have the

191
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.519
sports mentality. And I understand that, right yeah. But us it's like,

192
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.600
you know, to whatever varying degrees, we've all been involved with the

193
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.159
sports and off like that. So
in a lot of ways that we we

194
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.360
operate with our band like a team, you know what I mean? And

195
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.159
then you're right it should be that
way. Most artists think, you know,

196
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:00.759
the artists is opposite an athlete,
right, That's not true. And

197
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.879
listen, I played baseball for nine
years. I played hockey, I played

198
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.320
football, I played like all kinds
of sports. And then I found metal,

199
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:15.399
right, and there was yeah,
and then I use that athletic ability

200
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.120
in the mashpa. Yeah, that's
the right That sounds like the right progression,

201
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.159
right, Yeah, exactly. Well
you guys rock I hope to see

202
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.879
you again next festivals in twenty twenty
four. You know what, Let's try

203
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.679
to do four next year. Let's
do it. That's our goal. I
