PipemanRadio Interviews Symbyote 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.

00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:10.320
Hey, you lunt's true.

2
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:17.280
Wow, crazy young. This is pipe Man here on the

3
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:20.120
Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm.

4
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:25.000
Here with Dan and Dan from Cymbia Nice.

5
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.640
Here at Bloodstock. How does it fucking feel? The play

6
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:29.399
at Bloodstock?

7
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.640
Absolute fucking insanity. It's how the fuck did we get here?

8
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.640
Right? And how did you get here?

9
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.840
We entered the London region of metal to the masses,

10
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.359
and we kicked ass apparently.

11
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.399
Apparently, I think apparently you kicked ass even here at Bloodstock, right, Like,

12
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:52.000
who the fuck on Saturday morning gets up early to

13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:53.719
go out to sucset.

14
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.439
See it's a little deaf core band who have just

15
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:00.880
exploded out of nowhere, right bild.

16
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.200
Blow your mind when you're up there, and like they're

17
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.560
all here for us right now?

18
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.599
That was fucking absolutely madam, Like why the fuck are

19
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.200
you gonna get up in that time? I was expecting

20
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.560
just all right, yeah, have your mates and a few family,

21
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.239
you know, right, But the reception that we got was

22
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.400
fucking insane, to the point I had to jump into the.

23
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:24.640
Crowd that I love. I always like, like, listen, the

24
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.640
best pits are when the band is in the pit

25
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:28.239
with you.

26
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:30.680
But that's the thing, like how we see it is

27
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.920
if it ain't for the people that's there, we wouldn't

28
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.400
be doing this stuff exactly. And the ViBe's always there

29
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.000
when you know, and they give back to each other,

30
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:40.280
so it's it's amazing.

31
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.120
I think a lot of people don't realize, especially in metal,

32
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:49.359
that the bands are fans first and musicians second, and

33
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.319
that's why they will jump in the pit with you

34
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.000
because they kind of want to be there instead of

35
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.400
up on stage like.

36
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.599
We've had like Micromorph. We're fans of Micromorph. I haven't

37
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.680
seen yet, but I'm a huge fan of Machine Ed.

38
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.359
I almost knocked Rob Flynn over last night. I was

39
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:06.920
turning around and he was right there.

40
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.759
I reckon, if I met him, I will cry right Yeah,

41
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.240
that is the one man I will literally fang you'at

42
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:14.960
like a bitch over.

43
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.560
I love it. That's funny too, because me too. I

44
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.199
do lots of interviews, and it's very rare that I

45
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.960
fanboy out because I'm doing the business part of it.

46
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.840
But there are times where like in my head, I

47
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.560
maybe interview somebody going holy fuck, I can't believe I'm

48
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.439
interviewing this person. And that's what it is we're all

49
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.159
fans first and foremost.

50
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.680
It's music first. We are the fans and the music fans.

51
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.560
They're gonna do what they're gonna do for the music,

52
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:42.639
and being fans off what.

53
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.319
They do exactly and what you find when you meet

54
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.159
those people that you make fanboy overs, which is normal

55
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:54.120
people just like us and just they're cool. They're like family.

56
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:55.400
Oh fuck it.

57
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.080
So tell us a little bit about your experience with

58
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.120
Melt to the Masses.

59
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.840
They originally they relaxed the rules around entering it, where

60
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.840
before you couldn't have any gigs two weeks before and

61
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.319
two weeks after. Really, yeah, they relaxed that rule. So

62
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.599
we thought, you know what, let's just go for it.

63
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.840
And every show we had in it was just incredible.

64
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.400
The fans, the people playing it was phenomenal, the whole experience.

65
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.039
I love that, and it's one of the things I

66
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:30.599
love about Melted Masses is it seems like, because metal

67
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.639
isn't that way anyway, that the bands are all cheering

68
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:38.000
each other on instead of worrying about winning.

69
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:39.400
That's the thing our heat.

70
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.240
So we went through literally I said it from the beginning,

71
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.000
from our first heat, I was like, any band can

72
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.240
witness any band, And.

73
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:50.800
It wasn't even just the winning for us.

74
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:52.960
It's the fact that we got to play with bands

75
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.080
we wouldn't usually play with, and we're like, holy fuck,

76
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:56.840
this guy's are sick.

77
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.120
Oh my god, these guys are sick.

78
00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:59.639
And then we got to play I see, we get

79
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.039
to be on the same stage as them, and then

80
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.759
it's a bonus that we won and we're here and

81
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.280
then we're seeing bands that we fuck with anyway, or

82
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.199
we're friends with, or you know, we've got our mates

83
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.719
vans in the crowd, and it's like everybody's just I

84
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.720
don't know, like absolutely amazing. Like I checked out to

85
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.519
glam met Metal bar I keep forgetting their name.

86
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:22.519
Oh yeah, I talked to them yesterday.

87
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:26.360
So we're camping right next to them. My partner was like,

88
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.079
we got to go and see them, please, and I'm like, well, yeah,

89
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:29.800
fuck it, let's go.

90
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:31.600
I'm not a glam metal fan.

91
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:32.920
I fux with it.

92
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.319
So you're also getting exposed some more genres as well,

93
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.319
like that you're not particularly used to. And there's such

94
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.240
lovely people, such lovely people.

95
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.639
And I'm glad you said that, because I come from

96
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:48.079
the time when glam first started when I lived in

97
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.839
LA during that time, went to slayers first show ever,

98
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.920
Mattallica's first showever, and then they ditched us to go

99
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.120
to the Bay Area because there is nothing else that

100
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.800
they had to play with all the glam shit, and

101
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.240
we had that whole gatekeeper attitude back then. I love

102
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.120
that today you can just like whoever you want to like,

103
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:10.800
you know.

104
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.399
Oh yeah, like I've got a well I'll say it's

105
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.560
a guilty pleasure, it's not. I love the song Unholy

106
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.480
by Sam Smith Nice, I love country, I love like

107
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:25.480
a bit of rap and reggae. But like, why should

108
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.959
you be just into a small Oh I only like

109
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.240
Guess coll I only like guest metal, or I only

110
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:32.800
fucked up my music music.

111
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.160
If the vibration is good, then fuck it, fuck with it.

112
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.240
No doubt. Yeah, metal could be your favorite, but it

113
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.439
doesn't mean you don't have to like anything else. Oh no, no,

114
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.040
So I have artists from the eighties I've interviewed and

115
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.920
I have like, Okay, I admit it on the air.

116
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.800
Back then I wasn't allowed to like you, but secretly

117
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.879
I loved your music, and now I can admit it.

118
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.439
Oh yeah, don't likes ballet music.

119
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.199
It was like, I'm genuinely a massive fan of scar

120
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.519
and scarpunk opposite the deaf core you can get, but

121
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:08.360
something about it.

122
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:09.199
You can bop to it.

123
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.360
It's happy, it's so much more. The more you like,

124
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.399
the better influences you're going to get from everything.

125
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.920
Well, it's funny you should say that, because like, I've

126
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.720
been in massive amounts of pits in my life. My

127
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:29.360
most fun pit is the interrupter's pit. It's just so much.

128
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.240
Fun because I saw I think it was Goldfinger on

129
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.120
the Fireball Tour when I played London and being in

130
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.759
the pit to Goldfinger Superman, I've never felt something so intense.

131
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.519
It was mental best pit I've ever had.

132
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.360
And that's why people have to stop being so I

133
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.120
can only listen to this because if you just let

134
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.759
go of worrying about what people think, you'll have a

135
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:53.879
lot more fun in life.

136
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:55.759
You like what you like at the end of the day.

137
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.399
If you like it, then if that's good, enjoy it,

138
00:06:58.519 --> 00:06:59.800
embrace it on you.

139
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:00.839
I think it's therapy.

140
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.600
That's what is Symby is like we are death core,

141
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.360
but we have got different things. So it's like we

142
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.519
said it today, we're like genre fluid.

143
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:11.680
I love it.

144
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:16.040
So it's like we yes primarily death.

145
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.800
Core, but you are going to get mixes of all

146
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.560
sorts of scarf our basis, he's got a heavily like

147
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:21.360
punk route.

148
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:25.639
Your metal core boris is black metal.

149
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:27.000
You got me to like.

150
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.759
I play in a death metal band too, but as guitar,

151
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.399
I love my death core and it's.

152
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:33.600
Blending everything together.

153
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:35.519
But then you might get something that's a bit more

154
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.439
softer that we want to approach forward. And we're going

155
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.120
to do it not just because oh no, but you've

156
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.399
got to be death call, You've got to be We'll

157
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.360
be whoever the fuck we are with Symbia, Like that's the.

158
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.519
Way an ortist should be anyway. Listen, as an artist,

159
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.600
you should play whatever the fuck vibe you feel like playing.

160
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:56.000
And I love when you say the blend different influences

161
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.759
because I think that's one of the brahms Today compared

162
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.399
to old days. You have these bands that are just

163
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.399
purist about whatever genre it is, and everybody in the

164
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.839
band likes the exact same music, and then they all

165
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.199
sound that every band sounds the same, but that's it.

166
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.160
That's it, And the thing is that as long as

167
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.120
it's coming from the heart, no matter what you're playing,

168
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.680
as long as it's coming from the heart. You know

169
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.519
how we saw today, like you know, the tempt was

170
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.519
practically full. People are gonna fuck with it. Yeah, he's

171
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.319
got to be genuine. We are who we are and

172
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.199
we ain't gonna change for shit. People need to be

173
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.079
more like that. That's the way that I've always known metal.

174
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:36.279
We were the outcasts. Now, like you know, don't outcast

175
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:37.919
people for being the outcast in.

176
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:42.559
Exactly like here is where nobody's an outcast's that's my opinion.

177
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.360
And I think Ali from Bring Me a Ride and

178
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.720
said it best when he was catching so much shit

179
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.519
from not being deathcore anymore, and he's like, why do

180
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.759
I want to write the same song over and over again? Yeah?

181
00:08:55.960 --> 00:09:00.240
I personally Dan loves bring Me, He loves Bring Me. Yeah,

182
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.960
I'm like, I will give it a chance, but in

183
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.519
my own time, right, I love the nostalgia of that. No,

184
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.879
I'm not gonna hate them, you do you you know

185
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.679
what can I say? Like you're there, I'm here, you know,

186
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:18.240
but I will eventually. It just takes me a little

187
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.679
bit more time, but I'm still open. It all depends

188
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.519
on how I'm feeling, you know what I mean?

189
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.200
Have you seen them live?

190
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:25.159
I have?

191
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.440
That's what they're for me. So that's what did for me.

192
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.360
I'm like, holy I didn't like this said Paternal album.

193
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.559
Then I saw them live and I was like, now

194
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.159
I fuck this and this this is fucking so good. Like,

195
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:38.840
so I know that's how that's going to be for me.

196
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:42.759
Have you seen them seventeen times? I've seen Bring Me live?

197
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.240
There was a period in about twenty fourteen. I think

198
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.159
I saw them six times in about a two month period.

199
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:53.279
It was ridiculous. I was so tired, right, I love it,

200
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.600
thank you because I had enough of being your beach.

201
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.639
I love it. I love that too. Yeah, listen, they're

202
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.320
now like in my top five from seeing them live,

203
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.919
Like I'm like, holy fuck. And it's like now I'll

204
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:11.320
listen to some Paternal like over and over and over

205
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:12.679
and over and over and over again.

206
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:14.480
It's fantasy.

207
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:16.679
And the more they released, the more they add to

208
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.559
that sound and it might not be the same as

209
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.639
what it was, say ten to fifteen years ago, but

210
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.320
you can see the evolution and the growth between the musicians.

211
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.480
Well that's the key. If you're an artist, why do

212
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.799
you want to stay exactly the same as when you

213
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.600
were first starting. You want to get better at your

214
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:32.440
graph evolve experiment.

215
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.519
If you're releasing the same music over and over again,

216
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.480
you're just gonna lose fans because they're not going to

217
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.320
see the point of listening to your new stuff, which

218
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.960
if you add change, they're gonna want to hear what's different,

219
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:42.960
see what you're doing new.

220
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.440
Yeah, totally, So I'm going to show you something too.

221
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.840
This is my eightiest battle vest that Metallica patch.

222
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:56.519
Oh my god, that one's still fucking a bit of

223
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.559
like sig Ba hasn't come.

224
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:04.960
Off, that's right. Yeah, I just got blood on there

225
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.399
from stage dive knocking out my teeth, Like it's funny

226
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.360
going back today. No posers, I don't think you would

227
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.559
put that on today. So Slayer didn't even have a

228
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.879
patch yet, so I just did it myself.

229
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.240
I rest pretty fucking cool, right.

230
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.120
I was interviewing Geene Hoag laying at Hellfest last month.

231
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.919
I'm like, hey, do you recognize that logo Dark Angel?

232
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:37.480
Oh damn possessed that at the bottom here. It's funny.

233
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.720
I have the Venom patch on here that unless you

234
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:44.080
flip it over. You can't tell today they wouldn't even

235
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.320
be considered black metal.

236
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:46.120
No, not at all.

237
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.960
It's funny. And when I first listened to him, I

238
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.440
was like, oh shit, and I'm like this shit is scary.

239
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:58.600
And and now I'm like, it can't sound poppy now metal?

240
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.279
Now right, I'm like, let's know, like they sound kind

241
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:06.960
of poppy, you know. So thank God for bands like

242
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.240
you that are evolving the music to where we are

243
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.759
today that we can have a bloodstock because you listen,

244
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:19.039
the only festival that was a metal festival back then

245
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:21.960
was the US festival heavy Metal Day that I was at.

246
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.440
Van Hamlin was the headliner for a heavy metal Day.

247
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:29.600
Triumph played on heavy Metal Day and it was like

248
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.840
and Ozzy wasn't even the headliner. I saved wed he

249
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:38.240
was in the middle of the day, like early Priest.

250
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.000
It was like Ozzy then Priests and they were in

251
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.159
the middle of the day.

252
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:44.360
Were blossom.

253
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:44.559
Though.

254
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:46.679
We do have to say like we thanked them so

255
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.879
much for giving opportunities to underground bands that like wouldn't

256
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.399
usually get this opportunity. And you can kind of see,

257
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.519
like it's just amazing getting to see loads of like

258
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.639
people coming together and seeing they particularly wouldn't be able

259
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.919
to see. Yeah, yeah, all over you know we're doing

260
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:06.720
the same. We're finding out the new blood stage man

261
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:10.320
is really really fucking good bands like we weren't even

262
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:10.840
known about them.

263
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.600
And that's what I love about festivals too, is that's

264
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.720
how you find your new favorite band that you would

265
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:17.720
never know about. Yeah.

266
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:21.080
Yeah, you've got Mecromorf who we I discovered them through

267
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.639
the Metal to the Massage winners and very incredible. You've

268
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:27.320
got Suyo who won Metalton Massage Bony, very incredible bands

269
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.840
we never would have discovered if it won for the

270
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:30.519
festivals like.

271
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.120
This and the things they do for them great to hear.

272
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:34.600
They're all sweethearts as.

273
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.840
Well, exactly, well that we all are metal heads, right,

274
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.320
you know it's like people look at Oh they're scary.

275
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.000
We just intipidating little butterflies.

276
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.559
Exactly. Totally tell everybody how they can reach out to

277
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.279
you on socials, on the web, by your merch because

278
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.720
they can't listen to my show. Unlet's say buy your merche.

279
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.120
At the moment. All the merch is at shows.

280
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.559
But after Bloodstock, we are working on getting it all

281
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.279
on a band camp so we can send it all

282
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.159
over the country, but.

283
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.039
You can message the band on Facebook or Instagram if

284
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:07.639
you want merch and we can then sort something out

285
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.159
that way. Until that's up and running. You can listen

286
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.519
to us pretty much on any streaming platform. I would

287
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.480
highly recommend just look at the live stuff, yes, because

288
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:19.720
then that's when you do actually see us Shine. Yeah,

289
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.840
we're re recording the two singles that are out now.

290
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.240
Anyway to put it onto an EP. We want to

291
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.919
put our drummer on it that we've got currently, which

292
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.919
a big shower to him. He's only been with us

293
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.039
seven months, wow, and he's drastically changed the sound to

294
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:32.799
where we want to be.

295
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.240
So sometimes that's where it takes that new member that

296
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:37.159
just oh.

297
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.600
He's phenomenal, absolutely like he's got the grooves in there

298
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.480
that we want. But then we allow him, obviously the freedom.

299
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:45.200
But he was saying like, with this band, he gets

300
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.320
a lot more freedom than what he was expecting, and

301
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.679
it's just all clicked and been seven months in this

302
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:55.519
band and he's from Ireland coming over finding a band

303
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:59.320
that like he gels with, and then seven months later

304
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.000
we're playing.

305
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:04.159
Here Like it reminds me of the days of Metallica

306
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.600
and they got rid of Ron McGovney and got Cliff

307
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:12.399
Burton and the story is over. You know, if it

308
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.639
were for that, there would be no Metallica today.

309
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:16.240
Yeah, that's true.

310
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.080
So there that you're today's Metallica. Let's hope.

311
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:24.679
As a metallic fan, that is a massive compliment to me.

312
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:27.480
There you go. I love it. I love that you

313
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.840
kicked ass here at Thank you Bloodstock and thanks for

00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:34.399
being on the Adventures of pipe Man My pleasure.

315
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:40.279
Michelle Kerr was my press officer for my entire fucking

316
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:44.240
career here in the UK, my entire career with Machina.

317
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.159
She recently passed away and it was a very, very

318
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.960
sad day. And I can tell you the reason that

319
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:57.440
I'm gonna tell this story because she was family. She

320
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.840
was Bloodstock family, she was heavy metal UK family.

321
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:05.879
Most of the balls that you.

322
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.960
Know and love you probably heard of because of that
