24
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.359
It's like a bucket list thing for me? Right? Yeah?

25
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:25.120
Did you drive on the speedway? We did? What was

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.480
Yeah, I got the call the golf cart ride off.

30
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:35.280
You got it?

31
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:37.159
Go take out seven dus. So that was right.

32
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.599
Yeah, yesterday when I was on wing the golf cart rides,

33
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.799
we got detoured and we went up through the pit stop.

34
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.840
So we did a little bit up a wall. Not that.

35
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:48.840
Did you see that vertical wall? Yeah?

36
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.079
Oh my god, not walk up that? Yeah, so funny,

37
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.280
I know, funny sort. I had my skateboard and my

38
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.799
jeep out there, and I'm always every year thinking like,

39
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.680
when the festival's over, I'm gonna go ride that wall.

40
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.920
But then I think I am not sixteen, and I

41
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.680
will break every bone in my body on that wall.

42
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.800
Good Champ, I mean you can't even stand on it.

43
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.919
Oh you know you have to go eighty miles per

44
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:15.439
hour to hit that wall.

45
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.479
You got a vehicle that can do it, you know

46
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.520
the right tires. You guys could drive my jeep.

47
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:22.599
I'll toe on the skateboard and you get me up

48
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.520
to eight miles per hour and I'm all right, that'd

49
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:30.719
be right, yeah, and we film it. Okay, it could

50
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.639
be in your next video. Yeah, I think.

51
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.479
I'll surf with the sharks on Daytona Beach.

52
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.240
Oh, it's funny, you should It's funny you should say

53
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:40.960
that because I am a surfer.

54
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.879
Number one awesome. Number two.

55
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.599
I live in south Bard and literally a couple of

56
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:48.560
days before coming in as festival, I was paddle boarding

57
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.919
and I went like way out in the ocean and

58
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.879
I was just sitting there chilling, like I got away

59
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.759
from the world, and like just chill and I look

60
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.080
down and five bull sharks swim.

61
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:00.680
Round eat under me.

62
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.599
I'm like, no, okay, it's time to go back and

63
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:04.520
paddle back to shore.

64
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:09.479
If anything happens to you, let's say you die, would

65
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.520
just be like, turn me on, mister did man.

00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:18.199
Underground shirt.

118
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:29.800
By chance, is it a luck? Well it is Louisville.

119
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.600
I'm from the northeast, so I can't say the fucking

120
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:38.800
town where. I can't say the Loullville. But you don't know,

121
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.360
it's bipolar there, like it can either be super hot

122
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:43.319
or super cold.

123
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.079
That's like Phoenix. Like I live in Arizona and we

124
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.360
have bipolar weather. It's either gonna be cold or it's

125
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.639
gonna be hot, or there's like a freaking haboo coming,

126
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.560
which is like the Terminator at the end of the movie.

127
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.120
It's just like this student.

128
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.959
Seriously, man if it's like this cloud of just dirt

129
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:03.879
and sand and when it hits you's.

130
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.639
Just like kaboom. Yeah, and you can't see anything.

131
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.560
Seriously. That's the worst festival dust ever right there.

132
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.639
We need to do a dust bo in Arizona.

133
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.279
I know, right, Daddy Wemmer needs to do the dust

134
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.879
bow there it is, That's what we could call it.

135
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.839
That would be so cool. Listen, we already have playing

136
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:25.519
Burning Man. Yeah, funny enough. I've never been to Burning Man.

137
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:30.079
I've been to like every I got festivals in the UK, Europe,

138
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:30.560
and it's.

139
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.759
Been on tour a lot of times where I've actually

140
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:34.240
caught people on fire.

141
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.879
So it's it's hilario goo that you have your own

142
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:38.120
Burning Man did bakery.

143
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:39.680
We were allowed to do things.

144
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.120
You might have burned on stage today we were close.

00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:29.680
it up.

162
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:31.000
Yeah. I love it.

163
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.480
One story good or bad in this whole musical journey,

164
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:36.399
what would you tell your grandkids?

165
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:42.040
Good? Oh, good? Or bad? Today alone was amazing in itself.

166
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.000
I would say today is like awesome because the Union,

167
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.160
like we got to finally play.

168
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.759
But playing with my friends, yeah dude, and yeah, playing

169
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.360
with your friends on stage and half Pyro?

170
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.240
Right, what's better than that? There's nothing better? Then? That's

171
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:02.319
good too. I forgot tonight.

172
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.399
I got a cage and I was gonna put like

173
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.160
literally those forks with the marshballows like on my cage

174
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.399
while the fire was on.

175
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.639
And when we were done, I was just gonna throw

176
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:13.319
them in the crowd.

177
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:13.680
Dude.

178
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.079
So that was a good but that was a bad part.

179
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:18.480
I didn't get to do that.

180
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.680
You should have done it, maybe, Okay, save it back

181
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.759
next year, save that for incarceration.

182
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:29.240
Yeah, yeah, we're gonna bring fire right, Oh, yes we are.

00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:30.879
We will din't regardless, we.

00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.159
Spoke about that today. We're gonna have to fave teeth.

You know what too.

186
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.679
You're gonna be like Johnny Cash because sometimes the inmates

Like you're playing like Johnny Cash to a bunch of

192
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.919
inmates making their fucking whole life.

193
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.639

Oh that's true. I didn't even think of that. That's it.

00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:13.919

Yeah, Tommy Lee, his instagram is so funny sometimes some

223
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.200
of the ship he does. And I knew him back

224
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.320
in the day because I grew up in Jersey and

225
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.600
my dad moved me to California in nineteen eighty.

226
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:33.360
Nice. Okay, what perfect timing. So it gets right there

227
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:34.519
right yeah.

228
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:41.440
And my first club show ever in life was Motley

229
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.919
Crue at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip before they

230
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:47.879
even had an album, so they.

231
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.360
Weren't clam They were actually like.

232
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.879
Horror punk at the time, and they were trying, like you,

233
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.960
they were trying to light the Roxy on fire to

234
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.600
bring Satan in and like I was like, after that

235
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:04.039
was like, I'm never going to a real concert ever.

236
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.200
Again. That was the coolest shit ever.

237
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.759
I'm gonna tell you a cool story.

238
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.480
So for me, the reason I became a rock star

239
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.320
was just because the Gene Simmons, Yeah, drums, but it

240
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:17.600
was kissed and then dude, and it was motley because

241
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.759
Nikki lit his boots on fires.

242
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:21.399
Yeah, and that made me want to be.

243
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:21.960
The rock star.

244
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.600
And then when Axel gets off the bus and Welcome

245
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.720
to the Jungle, I was like, yes, I gotta.

246
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:27.360
Go to Hollywood.

247
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.360
There is actually Yeah, I'm gonna throw some I got

248
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.720
to play with with Nikki in six Am.

249
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:36.919
And beautiful videos and that video is one that's one

250
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.799
of my favorite songs.

251
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:42.320
That song. I love that. That's great. It was like

252
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:45.279
full circles, Okay, you want to go really full.

253
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:49.480
Circle two thousands going dude, like Nikki, I'm gonna video

254
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:49.960
with Nikki?

255
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:51.279
What you know what I mean.

256
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.799
When I was a kid, like real like playing drums

257
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.879
in my bedroom, going man, I can imagine like playing

258
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.159
with me one day or something or whatever. And then

259
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.919
we're shooting the video and nikkisay, my right, and I'm going,

260
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:04.080
how did this happen?

261
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:06.480
That's the story right there.

262
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.559
And then he goes knuckles man, and I was like.

263
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:09.720
What mewho.

264
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.240
Here's the funniest thing where we could tie this all

265
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.159
together is that I'm also a motivational speaker and my

266
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:22.080
old theme song for my motivational podcast was life is Beautiful.

267
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.200
I use that as the intro. So they're tied it

268
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:26.720
all together.

269
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.440
It works with some great people, toun man, we could

270
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:30.200
go for days.

271
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.159
Let's hear it days, Let's hear it, brother, let's hear it.

272
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.519
The eighties guys, for sure. I was on the Sunset

273
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:38.600
Strip doing that stuff too. I played in Cherry Street.

274
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.399
I had Eric Turner and Tommy Thorp produced my first record, Nice,

275
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:45.679
so that was cool, and we toured around.

276
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.919
We did the eighties thing and the Nirvana think yeah,

277
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.519
shut it now, I know that gig Sunset strip.

278
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.600
We had like top ten on Gazaris spans going out

279
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:55.519
about Hollywood.

280
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.679
We had a star on that wall. Wow, that star

281
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:04.320
is on my wall at home right now. I love that.

282
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.600
Bill Gazari put that up there and we had indoctrinated

283
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.159
whatever you want to call it at Gazari's.

284
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.919
That star is actually on my wall from the eighties.

285
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:16.200
I fucking love that. Saying something. I'm getting goosebults right now. Yeah,

286
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:17.879
I mean just being a part of that.

287
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.840
Scene and all that the bowl with the war guys

288
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:22.960
and all that stuff is super cool for me.

289
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:29.360
Yeah, listen, I feel that anybody didn't experience that eighties scene, man,

290
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:33.279
they missed out. Like, I'm so glad like how things

291
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.399
turned out, because I have so many fucking stories, most

292
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.759
of them. You know how it is if you were

293
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.240
in the Sunset Strip on the eighties and you remember

294
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:42.240
you weren't really there.

295
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.600
Yeah, but yeah, all that shit thousands and I still

296
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.159
vaguely remember. I just remember, like the bowl and walking

297
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.679
in and then not walking out, and waking up the

298
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.559
next day going oh oh.

299
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.399
I used to go to Metallica shows.

300
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:58.840
Rooftop somewhere in the past out.

301
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.879
Yeah, I used to go Metallica shows in the very

302
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.240
beginning when there was like only twenty five of us

303
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:06.600
showing up, and then you would go to their house

304
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.720
afterwards and party all night long. I'd pick my friends

305
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:12.559
up in the bushes. I was at that party when

306
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.000
this is a bad one. But when Vince.

307
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:19.679
Left with Razzle, Yeah yeah, that sucked. Wow. Yeah.

308
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.120
And now I go over to a rainbow, I'm like,

309
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.799
I look like, how the fuck did I ever get

310
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.679
in here? At fifteen years old, I'm like, oh, yeah,

311
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:31.559
I was walking over with Motley Crue in there.

312
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.559
You aren't the only one exactly. I listened as females

313
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:36.600
and males. I'm guessing.

314
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.360
Oh yeah, that's the beauty. Here's the beauty as a

315
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.559
teenage boy. Yeah, whether you liked Motley Crue or not,

316
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:45.480
you wanted to hang around with them because they had

317
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.080
so much overflow that you were getting late.

318
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.080
Oh yeah, craze. They couldn't handle all of them. Oh yeah,

319
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:51.639
it's a time.

320
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:53.919
They can never be recreated at the end of the day. Oh,

321
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:57.000
no doubt, he's on the SENSA strip can never be recreated.

322
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:58.639
Oh, it just is what it is.

323
00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.960
You'll get canceled if you do.

324
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.960
Oh my god, I think of so many things that

325
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.120
would get canceled from those days. I'm glad we had

326
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.600
them absolutely, And this, by way is my battle vest

327
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.399
from the eighties.

328
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:14.799
I know, I thought this, man, wow, So I had

329
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.279
a I had my gene vest and in the back

330
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:19.360
I was in seventh grade.

331
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.919
I literally drew Anthrax ANX.

332
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:23.600
I have Anthrax on here too.

333
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.799
I just saw it and look, Layer didn't even have

334
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.840
a patch yet. So I went and got these viol

335
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.919
entering and in La people thought I was a gang

336
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:37.960
banger and that was my gang name. And then so

337
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.759
I was just doing ship Rocks Suicidal Tennessee before and.

338
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:46.440
I drew that before. They were crossover, my favorite band.

339
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:47.159
So you can see.

340
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.279
I have all the bands too that I couldn't go

341
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.559
see because I was a long hair, So like I

342
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.480
couldn't go see Suicide, you got your ass beat, I

343
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.360
couldn't go see and you couldn't go to punk shows.

344
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:04.039
And so it's a trippy time voivod from when Newstead

345
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:06.480

346
