10
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:03.000
only like three sets four sets I

11
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.519
I did not schedule an interviews.
Yours is one of them. Oh that's
12
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.159
sweet man, thanks a lot.
And I gotta tell you another festival was
13
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.640
at I don't know, it's like
a year ago you guys were at.

00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.959
I was like, damn, they
are freaking good. Live still after like
15
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.040
all these years, you're still bringing
it. Yeah, we take we take
16
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.239
it more seriously. Now we play. We warm up with a whole set
17
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.560
before we go out and play the
set. They've never been more tight as
18
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.280
friends, and yeah, it's the
it's our time, man, you had
19
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.719
a friends thing. That's important,
right man. How do you go out
20
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.319
on tour or even write music together
if you're not friends, you can't.
21
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.239
We've done it a lot, and
it's it's painful. It's very painful.
22
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.079
So we feel really lucky. All
of us are super tight. Nice.
23
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.560
And I also saw something that was
done in an interview recently that made me
24
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:01.400
laugh because another band said the same
thing but from genre that like, you
25
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.680
never really liked that emo thing,
yeah, but now it's like, well,
26
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.879
you know, can't beat them,
join them type of thing. And
27
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.560
Corn said the same thing about New
Mel. They're like, oh man,
28
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.360
we hate it being called New Mel, but now it's like fuck it.
29
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.080
Yeah, full circle. Man,
we are the kings of emo. We
30
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:30.000
started the whole genre. They're probably
the best band in the world with the
31
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.960
greatest songs ever written, and our
fans are seriously the best as well.
32
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.560
It's all like everything's about the use
nowadays. I love it. It is
33
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.479
true though, you know, you're
not lying, like you're just speaking what
34
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.199
everybody else is saying. We're just
lucky to be here. Man, So
35
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:52.560
tell us about the newest music,
because like your last album was like right
36
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:57.319
when COVID broke and now you have
this new album. I've been saying,
37
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.240
if you're gonna take one positive thing
out of that lockdown is artists like you
38
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:07.199
had a chance to jump off that
hamster wheel and be creative once again.
39
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:08.840
Yeah. It was a dark,
dark time for everyone, so yeah,
40
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:12.840
to be able to put that kind
of feeling, in that emotion, all
41
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.520
of my guts into the record is
a really beautiful thing. Therapeutic, cathartic,
42
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.639
Yeah, totally. So tell us
a little bit about and why people
43
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.639
should buy the album, pick up
the album, listen to the album,
44
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.120
whatever they have to do. I
think a lot of people like me struggle
45
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.520
with anxiety and depression, and this
record really kind of wraps it up in
46
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.680
a big ball. And I think
that just to hear that other people are
47
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.439
going through the same thing you are
as really helpful. We've heard a lot
48
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:39.879
of fans say, yeah, this
record really helped me out a lot.
49
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:44.840
So that's what music's all about.
Well, you know it's funny too.
50
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.879
I was thinking when when I saw
the album title, I'm thinking, that
51
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.599
makes so much sense in twenty twenty
three, because like, I come from
52
00:03:53.639 --> 00:04:00.479
a time where it's like just be
positive, you know, and that kind
53
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.759
of explodes later. Yeah, you
know, so keep it in man.
54
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:10.319
Yeah, totally. So my daughter
was saying something similar to that, like
55
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:15.199
about positivity being like toxic. I'm
like thinking, because where I come from,
56
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.439
well, how's it toxic? And
then I thought about it and like
57
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.759
that's so true because you just like
the whole fake it till you make it
58
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.879
thing, but then you never deal
with shit at all. Yeah, this
59
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.839
record was a chance for us to
really put our everything in the record honesty.
60
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:39.439
So it's it's rare that we get
to experience such an in the moment
61
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.360
type of situation, like wherever we're
at in that day, it's kind of
62
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.240
a therapy session and we capture the
moment and we put it to song.
63
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.920
And that's the other thing about COVID
Lockdown that I knew what was going to
64
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.839
happen learned to happen is music,
to me has always been the best therapy.
65
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.959
I'd probably not be here, none
of us would probably not be here
66
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.720
if it weren't for music. And
when they shut that live shit down,
67
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:10.959
man, that sucked for everybody.
Yeah, we didn't have any idea what
68
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.439
we were going to do with ourselves. Yeah, I mean, like,
69
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.879
and where is your release as the
artists and us as the listener, where's
70
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.240
our therapy from that release? You
know? And I remember saying, I
71
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.879
don't give a shit if some kid
is playing a recorder on stage, if
72
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.720
it's live music, I'm going yeah, you know, because it was a
73
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.839
dark time, man, and I
think a lot of people felt it the
74
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.600
way that we felt it. So
to be able to kind of try to
75
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.839
explain it from our point of view
is really cool. And then you know,
76
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.240
people have their own experiences, And
what's cool about being a good artist
77
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.160
is you can write for you,
but then somebody else can take it and
78
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.439
have their own meeting and put their
own meeting to it. Yeah, we've
79
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.600
learned along the way that you can't
write for anyone else. You have to
80
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.720
write in the moment. Songs are
always exactly where the band is that at
81
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.959
that point in time. So,
yeah, you can't write for anyone else.
82
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.560
You have to write for yourself.
Do you find, speaking of that
83
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:10.639
after all these years, that sometimes
it's harder to write because it's like you've
84
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.319
done so much writing over to years, it's like, well, what else
85
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.839
do I talk about? Until you
have something like what happened recently or all
86
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.959
the bullshit going down, there's plenty
to talk about. But yeah, life
87
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.759
is crazy, man. I feel
like every single thing that we experience can
88
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.079
be put down to song, you
know. I mean, there's always something
89
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.279
to write about. Now. My
question is, as somebody who's like a
90
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.600
book writer, and I've written one
song with somebody else, but they had
91
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.439
to take a book and turn it
into a song because I just wanted to
92
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:45.319
write everything, how do you figure
out how to like narrow it down those
93
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:50.319
feelings into a few verses that like
are not going to be the whole explanation.
94
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.160
Yeah, we sit down in a
room together and everyone comes up with
95
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.399
ideas. It's a lot different than
we used to do it in the past.
96
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.240
Everyone's got vocal ideas, everyone's got
ideas based ideas. We're able to
97
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.160
kind of narrow it down in that
way, just the four of us kind
98
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:09.839
of like spinning ideas off each other. It's really cool. Yeah, It's
99
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.680
kind of like when my friend,
when we wrote this song, I brought
100
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.879
him this book. He's like,
what the fuck is this? This is
101
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.319
a book and he worked on and
he's like, can we take this out?
102
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:23.720
And I'm like no, how about
this? No? And I'm like
103
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.319
whatever, do whatever you're gonna do. Yeah, it's tough, man.
104
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.519
Yeah, sometimes you gotta just give
up. That's a good point right there,
105
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.639
Like sometimes you just gotta let it
be, walk away, throw shit
106
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.639
at the wall and see what sticks. Yeah, there you go. And
107
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.920
I think because you're collaborating so much
now more than ever, that's why this
108
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.839
is your best music, because it's
got everybody's input, both good and bad.
109
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:55.519
Yeah. Yeah, it's a magical, magical experience making the record with
110
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.560
these guys. It's like, first
we come up with the idea, the
111
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.920
vibe, everyone's kind of talking about
how they're feeling in that day, and
112
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.720
then we quickly run for it,
you know what I mean. I love
113
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:09.439
that, And then you know it's
not like like everybody has their piece to
114
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.839
say, and when you put it
together. I call it like music today,
115
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:18.360
Like when you have people blending their
musical influences instead of one genre of
116
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.639
influence, I think it creates better
music today. Yeah, we all listen
117
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.040
to crazy different types of music and
we're all into really different things. As
118
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.680
well, So I think that that
combination kind of creates something really cool.
119
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.399
I think that's what makes you stand
out because there's a lot of bands nowadays
120
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.440
that it's almost like, I feel
they use an algebraic equation to write a
121
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.879
song. It's like it has to
be exactly like this. But with what
122
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.960
you're talking about, that's what makes
you stand out because you're not going to
123
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:52.360
sound like any other band because there's
so much uniqueness brought together from all of
124
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.360
you. Yeah, one lesson we've
learned in the last couple of years is
125
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.759
there's no rules. You do whatever
the fuck you want, don't you wish
126
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.000
you You then in the beginning,
like oh yeah, fucking try to please
127
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.879
people and never please eat anybody.
Yeah, you know exactly right. What
128
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:15.519
is the craziest story you could give
me in this whole musical career due the
129
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.080
Pink story. Pink gave me a
pound of mushers one time and I got
130
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:26.279
really into NFL football. Oh that's
let's rate says like my top answers right
131
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.600
there, And that was a quick
one. We got a billion of them.
132
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.200
The only two that beat you one
was multiple bands said it. So
133
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.679
that's what beat you is. When
they shipped their pants on stage. Yet
134
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.840
I've never done that yet. Right, We've seen it, We've seen it
135
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.279
happen, but we've never done Let's
hope it doesn't happen, right, and
136
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.960
then we make the fans ship their
pants. Well, there, that's okay.
137
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:56.000
And then the other one was Leonard
skinnerd and Gary Rossington goes when we
138
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:03.120
fucked up Spice Girls backstage, He's
like, wait, edit that out right,
139
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.360
that's true story. Yeah, And
I did not edit it because afterwards
140
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.360
we talked. I'm like, do
you really want me ed? He's like,
141
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.720
no, it's just kidding. You
can keep it in there. Craziest
142
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.080
story is the band has been around
for twenty three years and we're still the
143
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.600
fucking best band in the world.
There it is, and I agree story,
144
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.320
and you're definitely gonna be the best
set here at Riot Festum. We're
145
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.759
pumped too. We can't wait to
play. I'm looking forward to So I'm
146
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.240
going over that massage therapist before I
go. You're set to get all looped
147
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.840
up, yeah, so I can
get my next all fucked as it is.
148
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:39.200
I'm with you, dude. I
broke my neck last night somehow.
149
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:46.279

10
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:03.000
only like three sets four sets I
really had to see at riot Fest that
11
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.519
I did not schedule an interviews.
Yours is one of them. Oh that's
12
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.159
sweet man, thanks a lot.
And I gotta tell you another festival was
13
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:12.640
at I don't know, it's like
a year ago you guys were at.
14
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.959
I was like, damn, they
are freaking good. Live still after like
15
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.040
all these years, you're still bringing
it. Yeah, we take we take
16
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.239
it more seriously. Now we play. We warm up with a whole set
17
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.560
before we go out and play the
set. They've never been more tight as
18
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.280
friends, and yeah, it's the
it's our time, man, you had
19
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.719
a friends thing. That's important,
right man. How do you go out
20
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.319
on tour or even write music together
if you're not friends, you can't.
21
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.239
We've done it a lot, and
it's it's painful. It's very painful.
22
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.079
So we feel really lucky. All
of us are super tight. Nice.
23
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.560
And I also saw something that was
done in an interview recently that made me
24
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:01.400
laugh because another band said the same
thing but from genre that like, you
25
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.680
never really liked that emo thing,
yeah, but now it's like, well,
26
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.879
you know, can't beat them,
join them type of thing. And
27
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.560
Corn said the same thing about New
Mel. They're like, oh man,
28
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.360
we hate it being called New Mel, but now it's like fuck it.
29
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.080
Yeah, full circle. Man,
we are the kings of emo. We
30
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:30.000
started the whole genre. They're probably
the best band in the world with the
31
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.960
greatest songs ever written, and our
fans are seriously the best as well.
32
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.560
It's all like everything's about the use
nowadays. I love it. It is
33
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.479
true though, you know, you're
not lying, like you're just speaking what
34
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.199
everybody else is saying. We're just
lucky to be here. Man, So
35
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:52.560
tell us about the newest music,
because like your last album was like right
36
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:57.319
when COVID broke and now you have
this new album. I've been saying,
37
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.240
if you're gonna take one positive thing
out of that lockdown is artists like you
38
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:07.199
had a chance to jump off that
hamster wheel and be creative once again.
39
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:08.840
Yeah. It was a dark,
dark time for everyone, so yeah,
40
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:12.840
to be able to put that kind
of feeling, in that emotion, all
41
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.520
of my guts into the record is
a really beautiful thing. Therapeutic, cathartic,
42
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.639
Yeah, totally. So tell us
a little bit about and why people
43
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.639
should buy the album, pick up
the album, listen to the album,
44
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.120
whatever they have to do. I
think a lot of people like me struggle
45
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.520
with anxiety and depression, and this
record really kind of wraps it up in
46
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.680
a big ball. And I think
that just to hear that other people are
47
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.439
going through the same thing you are
as really helpful. We've heard a lot
48
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:39.879
of fans say, yeah, this
record really helped me out a lot.
49
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:44.840
So that's what music's all about.
Well, you know it's funny too.
50
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.879
I was thinking when when I saw
the album title, I'm thinking, that
51
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.599
makes so much sense in twenty twenty
three, because like, I come from
52
00:03:53.639 --> 00:04:00.479
a time where it's like just be
positive, you know, and that kind
53
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.759
of explodes later. Yeah, you
know, so keep it in man.
54
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:10.319
Yeah, totally. So my daughter
was saying something similar to that, like
55
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:15.199
about positivity being like toxic. I'm
like thinking, because where I come from,
56
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.439
well, how's it toxic? And
then I thought about it and like
57
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.759
that's so true because you just like
the whole fake it till you make it
58
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.879
thing, but then you never deal
with shit at all. Yeah, this
59
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.839
record was a chance for us to
really put our everything in the record honesty.
60
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:39.439
So it's it's rare that we get
to experience such an in the moment
61
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.360
type of situation, like wherever we're
at in that day, it's kind of
62
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.240
a therapy session and we capture the
moment and we put it to song.
63
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.920
And that's the other thing about COVID
Lockdown that I knew what was going to
64
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.839
happen learned to happen is music,
to me has always been the best therapy.
65
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.959
I'd probably not be here, none
of us would probably not be here
66
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.720
if it weren't for music. And
when they shut that live shit down,
67
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:10.959
man, that sucked for everybody.
Yeah, we didn't have any idea what
68
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.439
we were going to do with ourselves. Yeah, I mean, like,
69
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.879
and where is your release as the
artists and us as the listener, where's
70
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.240
our therapy from that release? You
know? And I remember saying, I
71
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.879
don't give a shit if some kid
is playing a recorder on stage, if
72
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.720
it's live music, I'm going yeah, you know, because it was a
73
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.839
dark time, man, and I
think a lot of people felt it the
74
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.600
way that we felt it. So
to be able to kind of try to
75
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.839
explain it from our point of view
is really cool. And then you know,
76
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.240
people have their own experiences, And
what's cool about being a good artist
77
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.160
is you can write for you,
but then somebody else can take it and
78
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.439
have their own meeting and put their
own meeting to it. Yeah, we've
79
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.600
learned along the way that you can't
write for anyone else. You have to
80
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.720
write in the moment. Songs are
always exactly where the band is that at
81
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.959
that point in time. So,
yeah, you can't write for anyone else.
82
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.560
You have to write for yourself.
Do you find, speaking of that
83
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:10.639
after all these years, that sometimes
it's harder to write because it's like you've
84
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.319
done so much writing over to years, it's like, well, what else
85
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.839
do I talk about? Until you
have something like what happened recently or all
86
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.959
the bullshit going down, there's plenty
to talk about. But yeah, life
87
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.759
is crazy, man. I feel
like every single thing that we experience can
88
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.079
be put down to song, you
know. I mean, there's always something
89
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.279
to write about. Now. My
question is, as somebody who's like a
90
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.600
book writer, and I've written one
song with somebody else, but they had
91
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.439
to take a book and turn it
into a song because I just wanted to
92
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:45.319
write everything, how do you figure
out how to like narrow it down those
93
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:50.319
feelings into a few verses that like
are not going to be the whole explanation.
94
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.160
Yeah, we sit down in a
room together and everyone comes up with
95
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.399
ideas. It's a lot different than
we used to do it in the past.
96
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.240
Everyone's got vocal ideas, everyone's got
ideas based ideas. We're able to
97
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.160
kind of narrow it down in that
way, just the four of us kind
98
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:09.839
of like spinning ideas off each other. It's really cool. Yeah, It's
99
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.680
kind of like when my friend,
when we wrote this song, I brought
100
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.879
him this book. He's like,
what the fuck is this? This is
101
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.319
a book and he worked on and
he's like, can we take this out?
102
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:23.720
And I'm like no, how about
this? No? And I'm like
103
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.319
whatever, do whatever you're gonna do. Yeah, it's tough, man.
104
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.519
Yeah, sometimes you gotta just give
up. That's a good point right there,
105
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.639
Like sometimes you just gotta let it
be, walk away, throw shit
106
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.639
at the wall and see what sticks. Yeah, there you go. And
107
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.920
I think because you're collaborating so much
now more than ever, that's why this
108
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.839
is your best music, because it's
got everybody's input, both good and bad.
109
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:55.519
Yeah. Yeah, it's a magical, magical experience making the record with
110
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.560
these guys. It's like, first
we come up with the idea, the
111
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.920
vibe, everyone's kind of talking about
how they're feeling in that day, and
112
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.720
then we quickly run for it,
you know what I mean. I love
113
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:09.439
that, And then you know it's
not like like everybody has their piece to
114
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.839
say, and when you put it
together. I call it like music today,
115
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:18.360
Like when you have people blending their
musical influences instead of one genre of
116
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.639
influence, I think it creates better
music today. Yeah, we all listen
117
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.040
to crazy different types of music and
we're all into really different things. As
118
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.680
well, So I think that that
combination kind of creates something really cool.
119
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.399
I think that's what makes you stand
out because there's a lot of bands nowadays
120
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.440
that it's almost like, I feel
they use an algebraic equation to write a
121
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.879
song. It's like it has to
be exactly like this. But with what
122
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.960
you're talking about, that's what makes
you stand out because you're not going to
123
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:52.360
sound like any other band because there's
so much uniqueness brought together from all of
124
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.360
you. Yeah, one lesson we've
learned in the last couple of years is
125
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.759
there's no rules. You do whatever
the fuck you want, don't you wish
126
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.000
you You then in the beginning,
like oh yeah, fucking try to please
127
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.879
people and never please eat anybody.
Yeah, you know exactly right. What
128
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:15.519
is the craziest story you could give
me in this whole musical career due the
129
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.080
Pink story. Pink gave me a
pound of mushers one time and I got
130
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:26.279
really into NFL football. Oh that's
let's rate says like my top answers right
131
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.600
there, And that was a quick
one. We got a billion of them.
132
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.200
The only two that beat you one
was multiple bands said it. So
133
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.679
that's what beat you is. When
they shipped their pants on stage. Yet
134
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.840
I've never done that yet. Right, We've seen it, We've seen it
135
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.279
happen, but we've never done Let's
hope it doesn't happen, right, and
136
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.960
then we make the fans ship their
pants. Well, there, that's okay.
137
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:56.000
And then the other one was Leonard
skinnerd and Gary Rossington goes when we
138
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:03.120
fucked up Spice Girls backstage, He's
like, wait, edit that out right,
139
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.360
that's true story. Yeah, And
I did not edit it because afterwards
140
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.360
we talked. I'm like, do
you really want me ed? He's like,
141
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.720
no, it's just kidding. You
can keep it in there. Craziest
142
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.080
story is the band has been around
for twenty three years and we're still the
143
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.600
fucking best band in the world.
There it is, and I agree story,
144
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.320
and you're definitely gonna be the best
set here at Riot Festum. We're
145
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.759
pumped too. We can't wait to
play. I'm looking forward to So I'm
146
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.240
going over that massage therapist before I
go. You're set to get all looped
147
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.840
up, yeah, so I can
get my next all fucked as it is.
148
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:39.200
I'm with you, dude. I
broke my neck last night somehow.
149
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:46.279
