There were a number of once-in-a-lifetime moments over the course of the four days that added to the specialness of Louder Than Life.

Nice.

00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.239
Yeah, one of my favorite people.

7
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:31.440
Hey, we're back baby.

8
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.840
You know what's funny is I had blue hair for

9
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.960
a while. It's kind of normal right now, but I've

10
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.240
been telling my girl, like, I want to do that color.

11
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:42.200
You do, slime green, so we can match.

12
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.079
Well, you know why. Okay, So my previous car was

13
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.359
when I first started getting the blue hair, and like

14
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.280
two days later, I was shopping for a car and

15
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.079
I saw one exactly the color of my hair, and

16
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.359
I bought it just because of the color. Okay, And

17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.320
now I have a lime green jeep.

18
00:00:58.640 --> 00:00:59.359
That's incredible.

19
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:00.520
So you got it?

20
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:02.320
Come on, you know what, and it's calling.

21
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.400
It's literally the universe being like listen, Lee Jennings, your

22
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.879
favorite singer of all time has green hair, and my

23
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.120
car has is green, so of course.

24
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.120
You have to now do it.

25
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:15.519
I think I might do it for aftershock there all right,

26
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.359
you know what, you know where I got the inspiration.

27
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.480
It was before you, but you confirmed it when Billie

28
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.000
Eilish had that black.

29
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.439
Hair, the green oh yeah, the green, the green roots. Yep,

30
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:29.400
that's badass.

31
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:33.040
It was I want that, and that's exactly a tour.

32
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:35.000
I showed her a picture. I'm like, that's what I want.

33
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:35.799
That's so cool.

34
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.519
I love that. Now now you confirmed I'm doing We're

35
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.519
in like it so louder than life? Have you played

36
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.280
this one yet? Allen?

37
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.040
Remember we played last year?

38
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.400
Of course we played last year here. Yeah.

39
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.519
Well last year was kind of crazy because the rain,

40
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.400
remember it was insane.

41
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.760
I look at my shirt. Okay, look at this shirt. Okay,

42
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.879
I need to draw X on the player. Did not

43
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.840
play last year exactly here, yep, but they looked incredible

44
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.840
last night. Oh, they were amazing.

45
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:10.879
So we did see him at after Shock, so we

46
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:11.599
were very lucky.

47
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.159
I think we played the same day that they played

48
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:15.759
at after Shock, because that was pretty cool.

49
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:22.319
Well last year, interestingly enough, okay, their first show was

50
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.639
riot Fest. Yes, and a little sad, but I have

51
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.560
to tell it because a slayer. So I got called

52
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.360
in the middle of riot Fest that my grandson passed away.

53
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:35.840
Oh my goodness, so sorry to hear that.

54
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.719
Yeah. Thanks. Last year, after the funeral, I flew back

55
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.000
just in time for slayer. Oh wow, And so I

56
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.639
left all those emotions in the slayer pit.

57
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.280
That's sick. But that's what music's supposed to be. That's

58
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:50.039
what it's supposed to do.

59
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.280
So it's therapy. It's the best therapy there is, really

60
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.520
the artist and for me the listener. Yep. And I

61
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.960
think that's what people don't understand about Mashpa. It's not

62
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.400
about hurting the mame know. It's about the emotion. It's

63
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:03.800
getting it out. Yeah, don't hurt.

64
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.080
Yeah, Well that's the whole thing.

65
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.719
I think we were very like emotional band, right, Like

66
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.000
we have a very emotional song. I wrote a song

67
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.080
about the passing of my grandmother and stuff like that,

68
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.719
right about that, Yeah, all those things. I want to

69
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:18.719
talk about, real things. And I think for me it

70
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.520
helps me every single day that I get to sing

71
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.159
those songs and do that. And so it's cool that

72
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.240
you see the same thing and you see the vision

73
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.919
of that, because I think that's how music's supposed to

74
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:31.680
connect with people.

75
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.240
I think you're supposed to feel it. You're supposed to

76
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.919
not just feel it in here, but get it out.

77
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:39.919
And that's what a concert's for. That's what a show's for.

78
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:41.680
That's what these vessels are for, is to get it

79
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:42.599
out for you.

80
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.400
The artists and me the listener. Yes. And then one

81
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.479
thing that really bothers me is these bull crap people

82
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:54.439
that say, oh, artists shouldn't be going up there, and

83
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.400
like they're on a pulpit. No, they absolutely should. Do

84
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:02.599
you not understand music? Yeah? That's I mean every generation

85
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.039
of music, you had, the hippies, you had the punks.

86
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:09.199
Yet you know that. Do you not get what music is?

87
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.000
When they say that, it just like so annoys me.

88
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:13.360
Oh, you have no idea.

89
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.639
I think about that all the time. I think for us, we're,

90
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:18.720
like I said, we're emotional band. We get up there

91
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.720
and we speak our mind and we we say what

92
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:24.040
we need to say, and we believe what we preach to.

93
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.600
And that's something huge for our band, and it works perfectly, you.

94
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:29.040
Know what I mean?

95
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:33.279
I think, yes, exactly, And for us that's so important.

96
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.959
And that's what we're like trying to do with our

97
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.560
band and trying to bring and trying to to kind

98
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.360
of change the game a little bit, is bring the

99
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.839
true emotion and true feelings back to rock music.

100
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.720
It seems to be working a little bit. We're playing

101
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:48.360
the main stage. It's a little crazy.

102
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.480
So that's wild, right, How does that feel?

103
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.720
It's gonna be crazy? So we blak out early, we

104
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.639
play it one, but for me, that's still like kind

105
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.040
of crazy. It's still the mainstay it is and it's

106
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.120
not opening so or not first or like third, so

107
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:02.920
it's pretty cool.

108
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:03.319
There you go.

109
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:04.879
So that's that's kind of crazy.

110
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.399
And as you know, at these standing wimber festivals, it

111
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.160
doesn't really matter because the people come out and drove

112
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:11.800
the first thing in the morning. Yep.

113
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.720
Well they're ready all day long, especially for some of

114
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.319
these headliners. I mean there's some big headliners this year.

115
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.800
Yeah, who you most looking forward to seeing?

116
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.360
I think to Night or I think everybody's excited to

117
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:25.240
see sleep Token.

118
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.000
I think everybody's excited to see Avenged.

119
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:27.199
You know.

120
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.680
I think I grew up loving Avenged, So for me,

121
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.199
that's a big deal. Even tomorrow.

122
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.160
I think tomorrow I've gotten to know like the Blackfield

123
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.680
Brides guys, so I'm excited to see them play now

124
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.480
because I haven't seen them in forever. It's one of

125
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.240
those things I got to know them outside of it

126
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:43.360
music kind of a little bit. So that's kind of

127
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.639
cool to see them play tomorrow. Of course, bad Omens

128
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.040
and Deft Tones, Perfect Circle. I mean, there's so many

129
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.560
incredible bands playing over the next two days.

130
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.839
Funeral Portrait yesterday, they're the best band of the whole festival.

131
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.839
I'm excited. I'm excited. It's going to be crazy. It's weird.

132
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.040
You know. We we last year when we played here,

133
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.560
it was raining because we played on Saturday. We were

134
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.240
so scared because we were on our way up on

135
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.519
Friday from Atlanta, where we're from, and and that's when

136
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.319
the shots got called that hey, Friday is canceled.

137
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.240
And I was like, oh my god, if they canceled Saturday,

138
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:17.040
that's gonna suck.

139
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.399
Because right Louder than Life was our first big Danny

140
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:21.120
Wimmer festival.

141
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.079
That was our first chance when we got up there

142
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:23.439
and it was.

143
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.399
Raining, but guess what, there were so many cool people

144
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.439
out there ready for it, you know, and I love it.

145
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:30.519
I did my thing.

146
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.839
I came down after we were done playing, I met

147
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.519
everybody in the pouring rain and sat there for thirty

148
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.519
minutes and met as many people as I could, you know.

149
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.199
And I plan on doing that tomorrow, even off the

150
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.600
main stage, jumping down and trying to meet as many

151
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:42.439
people as possible.

152
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.480
See that's cool too, Like I love when artists do

153
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.399
that because I come from a time where that's how

154
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:53.199
you love the bands you love, Like back in the eighties,

155
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.959
like everybody get up on stage, you'd hang out. I

156
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.120
got used see Slayer and hang out with them out

157
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.879
in the parking and like that makes me loyal to

158
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.759
bands like that forever. Yeah, that connection that you make

159
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.279
with those people out there, that's what they love even

160
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:11.879
more than the music, of course.

161
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:13.759
I think that's what it is, and that's something that's

162
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.240
very important to me. And that's what I'm like working

163
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:21.439
towards is to tear down that wall between like fan

164
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:23.160
and like the band.

165
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:23.480
Right.

166
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.759
I think the more open I am, the more real

167
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:27.480
I am, the more it works.

168
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.000
And I think people want to know my struggles because

169
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.399
I'm human, I'm just like them when I think that's

170
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:34.399
so important to what we.

171
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:38.000
Do as a band is to have that, and I'm

172
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:39.560
excited to as the band grows.

173
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:41.759
It's weird because I do these like check ins every

174
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:43.959
so often on Facebook or Instagram or whatever, and it's

175
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:44.839
crazy because everything going on.

176
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.199
Time I do it, it gets bigger right.

177
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.160
So like now it's like impossible for me to respond

178
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.319
to everybody, right, which is kind of crazy because like

179
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.279
for me, for many years, that's all I did, And

180
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:58.959
so it's been hard to keep that balance of even

181
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.680
now personal life to my rock life, right and then

182
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.600
my fan life, right, so like even my fan life

183
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.600
of being a fan of rock music, right, because like

184
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:10.879
they announced just now, I don't know if you're out there,

185
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.720
they announced My Chypical Romance is playing.

186
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.879
Next year on the three on three of the festivals,

187
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:17.040
which is huge.

188
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:18.199
Yeah, it's a huge one.

189
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.120
Especially right now Mike Kim's having this massive moment again,

190
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:22.079
which is incredible.

191
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:23.240
That's the being that I grew up.

192
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.000
Loving, you know, and we need that emotion.

193
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:26.399
Yes, yes, you know.

194
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.639
And hey, you know if if the Wimmer team's listening

195
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.160
right now, you know, I know a perfect band to

196
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.159
open the main stage that Mike Kim plays, you know.

197
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.679
Yeah, I think so. I think we should be on

198
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:39.320
every single show that Mike him does next year. We'll see.

199
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.639
And you know, speaking of the eighties, this is my

200
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.000
eighties battle there.

201
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:48.399
I saw it sitting here. This is incredible, This is incredible.

202
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:49.240
What was this one?

203
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.200
What is this that it's been I'm okay, I can

204
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.039
see that's These patches are sick.

205
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.320
It's like a photo patch, right, those are metallica on

206
00:08:58.720 --> 00:08:59.519
those are sick.

207
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.080
Here, you could make a lot of money off of this.

208
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:05.879
Influencers will play pay thousands of dollars for battle vest.

209
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.840
Now you know, somebody said to me, an artist said

210
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.399
you could probably get five gram for this.

211
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.600
Oh, I'm sure I've kept it all this time. You're

212
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.360
being buried in this, right, you're being buried in this

213
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:17.320
And I love that though.

214
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:17.960
That's so cool.

215
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.200
It's got blood from when I knocked out my teeth,

216
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.519
when I climbed up on Marshall Stack and Swan dived

217
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:24.519
and the crowd moved.

218
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.000
That's incredible.

219
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:27.600
And of course you could see the pit.

220
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:31.240
The pit, dude, this is incredible. Like, what in the

221
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:32.919
world I listened.

222
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.000
Slayer didn't even have a patch yet.

223
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:35.919
When you made it.

224
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:39.399
That's and so in la I had the time people

225
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.159
thought it was a gang banger and that was my

226
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:42.080
gang name.

227
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.080
Oh my god, that's so funny.

228
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:46.120
Right, that's so sick.

229
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:51.039
Though, this is crazy. Did you wear this yesterday?

230
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.639
No, it doesn't even fit me in I just broke

231
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.240
it out of a closet like in March. Okay, okay,

232
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:01.440
I'm like, you know what, I should you an interview? Yes?

233
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.200
I love it. And so like last month at Hellfest,

234
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.840
I was there inviewing Jeane Hoagland. That's or June whenever

235
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.679
you lose track when you're like traveling old Yeah, and

236
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.120
I go like this and Dark Angel has a new

237
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.919
album and I'm like, hey, do you recognize that logo

238
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.440
during the interview. So that's cool, that's great, that's.

239
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:25.799
So cool, right gbh, shit look at you man, this.

240
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.799
God yeah, Megadeth, this somebody commented on my band, so like,

241
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.799
holy shit, that's the original Exodus logo.

242
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:35.759
That's so sick.

243
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.840
And they played here at Louerdan Line. And then of

244
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:42.919
course somebody asks who's this band? And it's not band.

245
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:44.360
That just says no posers.

246
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.279
It's so funny. That is still a thing, and that's

247
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.200
gonna still be a thing, you know what, forever. No.

248
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.159
I love it though, bro, because like so I grew

249
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.639
up in my day it was like Avril Levine. I

250
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.799
felt like it was a poser, right that was I

251
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.919
literally had this ame screen name. Okay, this is I

252
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.600
was a good Charlotte fan Okay, so it's a good

253
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:07.799
Charlotte fan calling Avril Avina poser what it's going on?

254
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.879
It literally was my ain screen name was anti Avril fan. Okay,

255
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.759
and my favorite band's my chemical romance and good Charlotte.

256
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.600
Come on, bro? What thirteen? I was thirteen? So you

257
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:19.840
got a table of granted salt.

258
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.279
But I thought that was so funny because I think

259
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.080
if I met Everril Levina, I would still tell her

260
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:25.360
that story because she would probably.

261
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.320
Think it's funny. But like I remember, though in my

262
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.919
day and age, posers still it's still a thing.

263
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:30.120
You know.

264
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.399
I think a lot of people think like the influencers,

265
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.799
you know, the TikTokers, their posers, but I don't know.

266
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.440
I think you use them to their advantage of how

267
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.080
being influenced, you know, how much they can change that thing.

268
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.720
They're bringing a lot of great artists to the gold

269
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.679
they even know about and don't have the chance to

270
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:47.360
be known about.

271
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.639
Well, I mean, look at sleep Token, sleep Taking.

272
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.840
The reason how they are where they are is because

273
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.559
of all the influencers using their sounds on TikTok and

274
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:57.240
on Instagram.

275
00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.519
That's literally how it happened.

276
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.039
Right, And then look at Sunday Night, Bring Me a

277
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:06.120
Rise in his headlining yep, and like that. Can you

278
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:09.440
feel my heart? Was like years ago and then all

279
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.120
of a sudden it was trending again. Tick tock wasiment.

280
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.000
Yes, And that's so important, and it's it's one of

281
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:17.919
those things that I think it's it's all using it

282
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.399
to the advantage of what it is, right, And I

283
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.399
think I think, you know, trends come and go, right.

284
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.919
I think going back to it where we started, about

285
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.519
being real and about being who you are is the

286
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.960
most important thing, right, And if you're organically unapologetically yourself

287
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.000
like I am, it will work out.

288
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.200
It might take ten years like it did for us,

289
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:42.080
but eventually it gets there.

290
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.559
Look at Ozzie, Yeah, he was always unapologetically ozy.

291
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:46.120
Oh my god.

292
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.919
Yes, well, and he's like the first influencer in my brain.

293
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:50.720
I think, I think, you know, with the way he

294
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.639
did you know reality TV. I mean, I was used

295
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.559
before the Kardashians. He was the real one. And it

296
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.320
doesn't get any bigger than you know, the Osborns. I

297
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.440
think they did it right now. When I was growing

298
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.200
up and I was listening, I was watching the Osbourne's

299
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.440
on TV. I couldn't understand anything because every other word

300
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.600
was bleeped out. So now that I go back and

301
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:12.039
watch it, they have it on to B, which is free.

302
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:13.600
You can watch it for free on two B all

303
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.519
of them, which is great. I had no idea that

304
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.120
it was up there, but you can literally watch.

305
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.080
All of them. And it's finally I could pay attention

306
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.120
to it because it's not be you know what it'd be.

307
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.600
I did it recently when passed away. I pulled it

308
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.360
up on two B so I could rewatch ithah and

309
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:31.320
I love to BE because it has all the coolest music. Yes,

310
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:36.320
I love the docs like Wet Decline of Western Civilization yep.

311
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.840
And it's all free parts on t B yep.

312
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.320
They have like nine inch Nails DVDs on there too.

313
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.639
They have like live concerts, they have a bunch of stuff.

314
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.320
I love TOB yeah, like it's the greatest I know.

315
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:48.679
I wish they would let me pay for it though,

316
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:50.639
so I could get rid of the ads, Like, let

317
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:52.240
me get rid of the ads because I want to

318
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.360
pay for to B because I would because it's it

319
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:55.960
has everything that I ever wanted on there.

320
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:57.840
You know what I wish. I wish they would put

321
00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.360
the funeral portrait.

322
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.480
On Hey, hey, maybe they'll put our live DVD on there.

323
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.200
We're working on one, so yeah. We filmed a live

324
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:06.879
DVD last year at our big Atlanta hometown show, and

325
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.600
we just before we left for Louder than Life, we

326
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:11.399
all sat down in my living room with my mom

327
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.639
and my grandfather and we watched it together and it

328
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.879
was really really special. It was really cool to watch

329
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:17.159
it all together for the first time.

330
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.080
So I love it. When can I see that.

331
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:22.559
January?

332
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.759
Probably we're spacing some stuff out because we've been going NonStop.

333
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:28.399
I mean, we're on tour for two or ninety days

334
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.159
this year, but we're trying to do something early next year,

335
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.039
like a big hometown show and we're going to kind

336
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.240
of that'll be the release of a live DVD, something

337
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:40.000
fun live record too, and a bunch of other stuff.

338
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.399
So oh man, I can't wait for that.

339
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:43.039
We're hyped.

340
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.159
How we tell people to get that when it comes out,

341
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.639
look for that. Get your merged all that.

342
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.120
Literally, just type in the funeral portrait on Google because

343
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:53.840
there's only one of us, and you'll see the guy

344
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:55.360
with the bright green hair and we made it to

345
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:55.919
the right place.

346
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.360
He does have some cool hair. Is there anything else

347
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.360
you want to let the listeners know we haven't covered yet.

348
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.840
No, man, this has been great. So you always do

349
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:06.840
a great job though.

350
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:10.399
Well, thank you. That's a great compliment because it's not

351
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:16.159
always the case, but you're always a great interview. I

352
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.200
love who you are, and I say that because you're

353
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:21.879
an artist, but you're real and you love who you are.

354
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.840
You need more as a human. We need more of

355
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.440
those in the whole freaking world because a bunch of

356
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:30.120
bullshit going on, yep, And we need more of you.

357
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.759
And that's what I'm trying to do, is say, if

358
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.879
I can give people, even if it's for thirty minutes

359
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:38.120
on stage at one o'clocket Louder than life and then

360
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:41.159
blistering hot sun, if I can give them thirty minutes

361
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:46.879
of something real and organic and fresh in just unapologetically themselves,

362
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:48.200
That's what I'm gonna give.

363
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.360
And that is exactly what you're gonna give all the time.

364
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.720
So I love it. And thanks for being on the
