Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm

6
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:25.320
here with Hey.

7
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.359
My name is Jared Weeks from Saving Abel.

8
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.000
And I'm Dave Marna from Saving Abel. Nice.

9
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.520
Okay, I have to make one comment right off the bat.

10
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.640
I was on ship Rocked doing an interview with Winston

11
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.799
from Parkway Drive. Oh wow, And do you know that he.

12
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.439
Has a tattoo of wapple House.

13
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:45.799
Oh that's amazing.

14
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.719
Yes, And somehow it came up in the interview about

15
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.759
waffle House out of Lohat I can't remember how Holy

16
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.359
Grail and he's like, yes, when we come over to us,

17
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.799
we have to go wapple House all the time. And

18
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.159
then he shows me his tattoo, like, oh my god.

19
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.599
I didn't have the heart to tell him that sometimes

20
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.159
the Americans look at waffle House is like, man, that's

21
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.439
the place you go when you're highest fuck at two

22
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.439
am and there's nowhere else to go.

23
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.959
But here's the thing. They're consistent. They will not.

24
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.439
Let you down exactly exactly.

25
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:20.760
That's what we love as Americans A consistency.

26
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.719
It is, Yeah, there, it is there, it is. So

27
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.319
I was laughing while I saw your hat saying waffle house.

28
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.200
Oh there you go, man, that's I love it. And

29
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.920
there's I think fifty two of them just around the

30
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.400
raceway Georgia, around the raceway itself.

31
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.319
Wow, I know way about every one dollar General.

32
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.319
If you drive ninety five all the way north, you'll

33
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.159
hit lots of waffle houses. Nice, you have your choice

34
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.560
waffle house or cracker barrel off of every.

35
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.480
Accent waffle house every time there you go, see time.

36
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.920
And see the person taking pictures there. Nicole, she's from

37
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.959
Canada and she wants to go see what waffle house.

38
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.120
Is all already tells she he's the nicest person I've

39
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:01.879
ever met.

40
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.439
Canadians because she's not American.

41
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.439
I think that goes because we're a bunch of jerk

42
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:12.879
offs now about it. To be honest, I asked before

43
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.280
in the interview, if they could just eliminate all of us,

44
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.680
stop fucking around, and get rid of us because we're

45
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.240
a bunch of fucking jerkoffs.

46
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.319
They can just take us all out, or.

47
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.759
We're consistent at being that too.

48
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.960
So I love it that you got to play in

49
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.960
like the hottest state in the United States in direct sunlight.

50
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.039
How cool was that?

51
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.639
I honestly didn't want to be anywhere else.

52
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:39.919
Man.

53
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.560
In fact, in the contract that we signed with Welcome

54
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.719
to Rockville, we told them, we requested that we were

55
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.080
not gonna play at all unless we were directly underneath

56
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.599
the sun. And here we are sweating our balls off

57
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.800
out here having a good time. Man.

58
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.960
I always wonder when bands that wear like heavy stuff

59
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.639
or even like wary, Oh god, how they survive that.

60
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.199
Welcome to rock Bray.

61
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.560
Have no idea because when we just played, when we

62
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.000
just it was so hot, It's like walking through a

63
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.759
bowl of warm oatmeal, right, Like it's hard to breathe.

64
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.199
And I'm like, Jesus, I'm already too. I thought I

65
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:17.000
prepared for that.

66
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.199
You don't let yourself really feel it when you're on

67
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.879
stage because you're in the zone. And then me, I'm like,

68
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.800
surprised you're here for interviews now, because right afterwards I'd

69
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.280
be like, fuck this, it's time to die.

70
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.879
They did give us a cool down period, so yeah,

71
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:31.120
we're here, dude.

72
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:32.639
It was so hot up there today.

73
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.599
Though I loved it though, because all those people just

74
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:35.919
standing out there underneath the sun.

75
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.560
They're hotter than we aren't, right, they were so alive today.

76
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.759
Well think about that for a second.

77
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.639
It's Thursday, first day, you know, it's a workday, school day,

78
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.199
whatever or BM and they're fucking hot as shit and

79
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:56.400
they are standing out there sardine at your show and Mash.

80
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.560
Honestly, that's something that I'm still grateful for you because

81
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.520
without this, none of this would even be possible.

82
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:02.599
We love it, dude.

83
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.199
I loved the dedication because I'm a decade fan and

84
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.159
like last week I was at Sawing Temple and I

85
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:08.840
didn't have to do any interviews because there were no

86
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.479
interviews there, so I'm like, cool, I can enjoy shit.

87
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.120
And then okay, I'm wearing a shirt that we were

88
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.560
talking about before the interview. Exodus A Exus came on

89
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.439
and it was midday and the bands before Exodus people

90
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:22.839
are like, you could go in and pay. I'm like,

91
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.879
it's too fuck it hot, man, I gotta survived the

92
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.199
rest of the day. But then Exus came on and

93
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.600
everything's okay, all.

94
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:31.079
Bets are off.

95
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.319
Dat Gibson was at our show watching today man, the

96
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:35.879
bass player as so wild.

97
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.199
I its human beings I've ever met, dude.

98
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.240
My best friend, how's that feel when banned?

99
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.160
It's not only at your show at a festival, but

100
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.120
like gets out of the tour bus at early to

101
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:47.319
come to your show.

102
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.879
And it reminds me of being seventeen years old, of

103
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.639
having the dream of being a musician standing in front

104
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.120
of ten thousand people at one o'clock and welcome to

105
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:56.519
Rockville in Florida.

106
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.759
Like those guys that inspired me to be here.

107
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.720
I think it's awesome that some of them come and

108
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.399
see our shows and pay respect like that. Like Lejahn

109
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.040
from seven Dust, No matter where we are, he always comes, man,

110
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.560
and I'm seven Dust for life, so it never bothers

111
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:13.279
me that he's there.

112
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:14.519
Man. We love those.

113
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.839
Guys, and I do want to say something to people,

114
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.600
like it's not like days anymore, but everybody always comes

115
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.439
to me. He's like, oh, man, can you bring me

116
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.160
backstage and take me side stage? I'm like, it actually

117
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.399
sucks side stage. It's like it's cool the first time,

118
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.199
but the sounds all you really hear is muffled drums.

119
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.600
And honestly, I think it's more about perspective. From the

120
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.519
side stage, right, we look from the artist. It is cool,

121
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:38.439
but you're right.

122
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:39.480
It does so.

123
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.240
And my point is so like normoy, when I'm out there,

124
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.720
like I'm out front, I'm hanging with a bunch of

125
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.839
my artist friends, because all the artists love to go

126
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:49.519
in front.

127
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.480
Yep, they don't want to be side stage.

128
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.000
Yeah, we're fans too, That's what people I realize, And

129
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.279
I think that's more true in metal rock and punked

130
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:00.560
than any other.

131
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.319
You know, you wouldn't be a metal head.

132
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:10.519
Musician if you were in it for whatever other reason

133
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:12.600
besides metal.

134
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:14.040
It's about the craft.

135
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.360
It's like when people say to me, like call me

136
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.519
people in real life outside here, and they're like, I

137
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.600
used to like metal. I'm like, then you did not

138
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.800
like metal? Yeah, those words do not come out of

139
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.519
a metal head's mouth. Like, I don't care what stage

140
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.759
I'm at, what I'm doing, listen. I'm also a motivational speaker,

141
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.040
you know what I use to pump myself up to

142
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:39.879
go do my seminar.

143
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:41.279
What's that slayer?

144
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.519
Yes, that's awesome, And people think that's weird. I'm like,

145
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:50.920
you have no idea my fucking adrenaline. Like I'm like

146
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.639
ready to think I'm the fucking world.

147
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.680
Well Death comes in and you're I'm ready to go

148
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.600
through any part of traffic period.

149
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.480
And I just found out something new about Slayer recently,

150
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.319
and I went to her first show ever and I've

151
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.079
seen him like thousands of times. I was interviewing Gene

152
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.519
Hoagland from Dark Angel and Testament and Death Clock and

153
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.319
all that. The other day, Dark Angel has a new song.

154
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.639
They were one of my favorite bands, as you can

155
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.199
see on my battle vest.

156
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:21.199
That's my eighties battle vest. Okay, it looks seasoned. It's

157
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.079
better than that. Oh sick Okay.

158
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.680
So for some reason, I found right before the interview

159
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:26.680
this little tidbit that.

160
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.680
I never knew. And I hung out with all.

161
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.839
Those people back then, Like I used to hang out

162
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.959
with Don Dodie, which was the original singer of Dark

163
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.800
Angel way back when. But I hung out with Slayer,

164
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.959
Metallic and all them, like we were all just teenager right.

165
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.680
And turns out Evil has no boundaries. The first song

166
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:49.720
on show, No Mercy, the first album, he's doing background vocals. Wow,

167
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.839
I was like that. I found that out like right

168
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.839
before the interview. I'm like, holy fuck. So I had

169
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:56.639
to talk to him a out because I'm like, fuck,

170
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:58.759
I didn't even know that we were hanging out back then.

171
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:02.120
You're talking about Slayer. Dude, you know what song that

172
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:05.759
I used to pump me up? And I can't believe, Like,

173
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.519
growing up, I'd never heard of this song. I'm new

174
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:10.959
to this song, but it's Breathing Lightning by Anthrax.

175
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.399
Yeah, that's a great song, and that's one of their

176
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.160
newer songs.

177
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.959
It's one of their newer songs too. It's badass.

178
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:19.959
I love it. It's like you said, it makes you

179
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.600
blood pumpy. That song doesn't for me. Bro, there he

180
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.279
goes everything. Man, how about you? What song does it

181
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:25.720
for you?

182
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:26.439
Oh boy?

183
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:28.199
Oh god, we'll be here for hours.

184
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.360
Oh no, probably as at the moment, probably finish him

185
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:32.519
by cattle decapitation.

186
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.200
Oh okaynd fun they're a fun show.

187
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:37.159
Yeah they're sick, dude.

188
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.559
I love Death not a man. It's a great band

189
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:41.080
when they have a name like that.

190
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.840
Yeah, no cows were harmed in the making of this show,

191
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:44.200
of course.

192
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.360
Yeah, we have to make sure that let of people know.

193
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.840
But you know, it's like back in the day, that's

194
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.240
the only way you knew music was either they look

195
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:52.559
cool or I had a cool name.

196
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.440
Yeah, and then you went to their show and.

197
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.360
Then you get the experience and you're like, whoa, yeah.

198
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.519
Oh it happened to me. Okay.

199
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.559
So I was into music since I'm little, but when

200
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.879
I really truly got into the scene.

201
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:07.919
I'm from New Jersey.

202
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.440
My dad moved me to California in nineteen eighty.

203
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:16.200
Good year, good year, Yes, sir. So my first club

204
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.080
show ever in my life was at the Roxy on

205
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.200
the Sunset Strip.

206
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:20.879
Oh wow.

207
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.639
It was this band that.

208
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.120
They didn't even have an album yet and they were

209
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:32.519
lighting everything on fire to bring satan into the Roxy.

210
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.480
It was gone.

211
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.879
It was Motley Through before they had an album. Almost

212
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:44.120
said that before they had an album. Before they that's cool.

213
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.240
I won't say what I would say after that, but

214
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:51.200
before they became hair metal, glam both they were like horror.

215
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:51.600
Punk at the time.

216
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.639
Oh cool and oh my god. I remember coming out her.

217
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.799
I'm like, I'm never going to a real concert ever again. Man,

218
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:02.759
that club show is such amazing experience show, right, Yeah,

219
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:04.960
the Roxy, the fucking Roxy.

220
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.240
Man we were when I was singing with Hinder, we

221
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.440
did some Motley Cruse show dates and I it was

222
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.879
the loudest concert I've ever been to in my life.

223
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.799
It was so loud it had me looking over my

224
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.279
shoulder paranoid, like wow, seriously, was like, oh my god,

225
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.039
there were so many people. But dude, it's crazy, Like

226
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.440
I don't do really well sensory with loud things.

227
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.320
Yeah, dude, I had to go back. Might be in

228
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.399
the wrong music John by the way, Oh, that totally cool.

229
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:33.480
Totally.

230
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.879
It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever

231
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:37.600
got to be a part of. Man, it's seeing Motley

232
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.840
Crue league Nick Mars up there, Nikki City. Dude, it

233
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:40.399
was amazing.

234
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:40.879
Yeah.

235
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.600
I used to hang out with Mike at the mall.

236
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:44.600
Oh cool, Mick at the mall.

237
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:46.840
And then it's like funny, like I go back to

238
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.159
Rainbow now, I'm like, how the fuck did I get

239
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.240
in there at fifteen years old? Oh yeah, that's right,

240
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.440
the period walk in with Motley Crue and meet up

241
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.039
with Lemmy and Ron Jeremy at the fucking Rainbow at fifteen.

242
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:00.279
You know, Ron Jeremy's a character.

243
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.159
We met, Oh my god, to man big the.

244
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.240
Chicks that were around in Oh my god, I had

245
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.120
so much overflowed from Motley grew and Ron, Jeremy and

246
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.720
Lemmy back in the day as a teenage boy.

247
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:17.039
Dude, he does it in sweatpants and crocs. It's amazing.

248
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:18.039
But you're right.

249
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.159
I saw her on Jeremy and I walked up to

250
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.559
him and I said, Man, I believe I've seen yours

251
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:23.679
more than I have mine.

252
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:27.600
I don't think you can miss his.

253
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.399
Man. I think his is bigger than Blowthart teenage boys.

254
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.039
Man, oh man.

255
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.039
So what got you guys into doing this stuff? Because

256
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.960
it's certainly not to become a rock star or for money.

257
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.000
When I first started, I saw Kenny Wayne Sheppard play.

258
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.720
He's one of my favorite I interviewed him. Actually, dude,

259
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.000
I'm so jealous. I love coolest shit. I was seventeen

260
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.200
years old and it was at the Mid South Fair

261
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:58.360
in Memphis, and I saw like his energy above the crowd,

262
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:00.799
like how he could control them with just the note

263
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.960
of his guitar. Right, and being seventeen years old and

264
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.840
feeling that feeling and seeing it happened with one of

265
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.480
my favorite artists, I was like, that's what I want

266
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.480
to do, Like I want to be a part of

267
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.240
something like that, something bigger than myself. Because when you

268
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.840
got the fans there, they'd put this energy up, but

269
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.159
to watch him control it the entire show, it blew

270
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.919
my mind, dude. And seventeen years old, I said, I

271
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:26.399
want to do that, and you.

272
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:27.279
Know what, I love too.

273
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.279
Okay, So instead of what was in the eighties where

274
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.639
I remember when I first started again to Slayer and

275
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.759
they're like, okay, all my friends were like, okay, you

276
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:36.919
got burn all your Motley Cruise shit. Man, fuck that

277
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.679
you can't. You can't listen to any When you were

278
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.879
a Slayer fan, you pretty much couldn't listen to anything

279
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.519
but Slayer type of things.

280
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:44.919
Yeah, exactly.

281
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.039
And you would be a show at the Troubadours or

282
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.360
at the country Club in Mesida, and if somebody walked

283
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:53.720
in wearing a Motley Cruise shirt, you ripped it off

284
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:55.639
their back, threw it up to Tom and he would

285
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:56.840
burn it on stage.

286
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:01.000
Oooh, Exodus burns same thing like their shirts and Tom

287
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:01.799
around his hands.

288
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.440
Yep, yep, hair metal bands, Yep, totally.

289
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:05.159
That's funny.

290
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.799
And so I love to hear you talk about kay

291
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.639
Wayne Shepherd while you're wearing a Garth Brooks shirt playing

292
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.480
that playing at rock the Rockville Man, I was born

293
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:15.279
in Mississippi.

294
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:16.960
Man, I ain't too far out of my own, you know,

295
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:19.919
growing up with Klay Walker and Garth Brooks and all that.

296
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.960
But uh, I find that being yourself, an authentic to yourself.

297
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.480
Makes it just to ride it for everybody.

298
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:29.240
If you're into music, you're not into just one music.

299
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.240
Were so stupid.

300
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.519
To hide what you like and as long as a

301
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:34.639
good song, I love that.

302
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.399
Today you could be at a festival like Welcome to

303
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.799
Rockville and I have all kinds of genres playing here

304
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.080
and everybody would be down with it.

305
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.720
I'm just glad that they showed up like they did. Man,

306
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.720
it was crap. I didn't even have to really sing addicted.

307
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.799
They did it like of course I was hot as shit. Yeah,

308
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.679
it's like but yeah, but they dude, it was so loud.

309
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:56.399
I could hear it through my in ears, Like you.

310
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.720
Don't want to have that, Yeah, I can't normally hear

311
00:13:58.720 --> 00:13:59.639
it through those things.

312
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.600
It got me excited, bro, I'm like, let's do this man.

313
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.559
I love it here, dude, So what did it for you?

314
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.440
Originally I was about thirteen, I guess, and I don't

315
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:14.159
watch football or anything, but I saw the Who playing

316
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.279
the halftime show on Wow.

317
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.200
Yeah, who it was Zach Starky.

318
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.360
I thought you were going to say, Scott Staff flying

319
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.120
in Dallas Cowboy.

320
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.279
Oh it's how about they're different. I've interviewed the guests

321
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:27.600
who actually yeah.

322
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.000
Yeah, but I saw them play the halftime show and

323
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:34.159
the lasers with the clear drums. I thought that was

324
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.000
like the sickest thing ever, like seeing all that stuff.

325
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.399
And then after that, I just I found that music

326
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.279
was just I don't know, it was like my therapeut.

327
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.120
Yeah, it was like kind of it is therapy for

328
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:43.840
all of us.

329
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:44.600
I could figure it out.

330
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:46.480
It was like a puzzle. It kept me busy. I

331
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.720
didn't get into trouble like I think.

332
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.840
That's the reason people are so depressed pits and all

333
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:55.639
from COVID because we had no live music.

334
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:57.799
There was no outlet. There was nothing to get rid

335
00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:58.559
of the darkness.

336
00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.919
Nope at all.

337
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:02.799
All share it. Yeah, no doubt we got through it.

338
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.399
COVID was actually a good time for me. I got

339
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.200
to look inward and work on myself.

340
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.320
It's funny you should mention that because one of the

341
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.759
things I said a lot after COVID during their reviews

342
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.240
is I felt like COVID was great for artists because

343
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.000
you could finally jump off the hamster wheel and get

344
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:20.200
creative again.

345
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:20.720
You know.

346
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.639
Instead you're like writing a song with a deadline from

347
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.440
one gig to another and you don't give a shit

348
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:29.200
because you have to finish it.

349
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.679
Get in gig mode and then in studio move For

350
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.519
some people, yeah, those people like it's all about the vibe.

351
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:37.159
They are two different modes for sure, yep.

352
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.720
And then like you could take your time, like back

353
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.559
in the day you made music and you had to

354
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:47.360
literally you sat there and created. You didn't just make

355
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:51.519
something real quick and jump it out, and you had cycles,

356
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:54.720
had cycles. You made an album, you went on tour,

357
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.559
You made an album, you went on tour. It wasn't

358
00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.600
do both at the same time. And you make two

359
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:01.240
albums too while you're at it.

360
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.559
We had a situation like that with the label when

361
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.320
we were first signed for the second album with Miss America.

362
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.399
We had two months off to go in a studio

363
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:11.159
and wrap the album, and I thought that was great,

364
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:16.120
but they started booking gigs in between, so it's like

365
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.440
hard to switch in and out for us.

366
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:19.080
I get you.

367
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.279
I don't know people listening can get this flu but

368
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:27.120
they are two different mindsets, two different vibes, And I

369
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.279
think you really do have to focus when you're writing,

370
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.639
like seriously writing a song on posted just putting shit out.

371
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:35.960
Yeah, And sometimes if you're just doing shows all the time,

372
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.120
like you need a day to coming home and decompress,

373
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.519
and if you're decompressed in the studio while.

374
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.240
Trying to create, it does affect what you're you're out.

375
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.240
It's funny you should say that, because I was mentioning

376
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.440
the interview earlier. Because I go into where I do

377
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:51.799
all the festivals in the US, UK, Europe, and when

378
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.639
I get home, like after Rockville, I have four days

379
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.200
at home before I go to Vegas for prop rock Balling,

380
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:01.399
and I'm gonna fucking sec and nobody's going to see

381
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:03.519
me and leave me the fuck alone. But when I'm

382
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.960
out here, I'm like, mister extrovert. If people don't understand

383
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:12.319
artists are not extroverts just because they're up on stage nice.

384
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.000
And say as a joke, sometimes it's like I'm an introvert.

385
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:16.519
They pay me to be an extrovert.

386
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:19.799
That's a good way to put it. It's so true.

387
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.400
And I think people also don't realize when you're up

388
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:22.839
on stage.

389
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:24.799
You go into his zone. So it's an out of

390
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:25.720
buy experience.

391
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:28.440
It's not really those people are out there and it's

392
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.359
funny to tell me if you've had this. So my daughter,

393
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.799
when she was like twelve, we were at seminar where

394
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:38.319
one of the co authors of Chicken Soup books.

395
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:39.720
Was one Soul or whatever.

396
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:46.119
There's all kind for all every soul, andptis sorry, there

397
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.359
you go. Mark Victor Anson calls my daughter on stage

398
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:50.440
to promote my book.

399
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.359
And it was out of nowhere. It wasn't like plan.

400
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:57.240
And she went up and she was the shyest person

401
00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.960
you ever wanted to meet. And she went up there

402
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.720
and I'm like, holy shield it, where did that come?

403
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:03.680
Oh? She killed it?

404
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:05.359
I was like, where did that come from? And so

405
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.960
when she came down, like who hurt? Did that happen?

406
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:10.680
She go and she goes because I didn't know anybody here,

407
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:13.720
and that there's a good thing. Like you're looking out

408
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:15.960
into that crowd and maybe there's some people you know,

409
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:19.319
but yeah, you really don't know anybody, know anybody. So

410
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.920
it's like talking to a bunch of objects, yeah, in

411
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.000
a sense, or singing to a bunch of obisodes.

412
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.000
To me, a lot of times you are right, you're

413
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.519
in the zone ten minutes before a show. Don't talk

414
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:31.839
to me like I'm in my head focused on and

415
00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:34.039
I'm going over the things that we've worked on and

416
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:34.720
things like that.

417
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:37.000
But I told Dave today.

418
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.119
I told him last night before we got on stage

419
00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:42.240
today and I reminded him, but I told him, I said,

420
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:45.200
do me a favor, And at some point in the

421
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.680
show tomorrow, I said, just take a deep breath, and

422
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.119
I said look out and absorb what you're seeing and feeling.

423
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:56.440
And I did a lot of touring earlier, and I

424
00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:58.920
wasn't always present in the moment, like being drunk or

425
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:02.599
high or whatever. And to me these days, being present

426
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.440
in the moment is one of the things that.

427
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.279
I love to be.

428
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:06.119
I love hearing that.

429
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.039
I wanted him to see it because he hasn't he's

430
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:12.119
been with us like four years. But like an experience

431
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:14.920
like this is extreme in the middle of the Daytona

432
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:20.240
International Speedway, you're driving on the track, right, But it

433
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:22.960
was just a really cool experience. And I did that

434
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:28.359
today and just the looks on people's faces to know

435
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.079
like we're all here for the same reason.

436
00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:35.119
Yeah, and I am you are me. I love You're

437
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:37.640
not the same people. That's it.

438
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:40.880
And to me, that kind of connection makes every it

439
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:42.480
don't matter how hot it is on stage.

440
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.680
That connection right there is why I do the things

441
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:47.400
that I one hundred percent that reminds me. Like last week,

442
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:53.440
Petfield his new thing nowadays is your metallica. That's right,

443
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:56.240
Like it says that to the crowd, your metallica sin

444
00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.519
and that's such a That's what you're saying, is people's.

445
00:19:58.960 --> 00:19:59.960
A blue collared band.

446
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.599
I mean my dad worked in a factory too, Yeah,

447
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.720
saying my first job was at Kroger.

448
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:08.680
Like, I just chased my bliss. There you go, and

449
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:12.559
everybody should chase her. I say, yes, absolutely, chase your bliss.

450
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:16.000
But whatever makes you happy, whatever puts that fire in you,

451
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:16.559
chase that.

452
00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:18.440
Yeah, chase that, and you.

453
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.759
Will become more authentically who you are, and so your.

00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:27.519
experienced it. But it's been great. Man.
