PipemanRadio Interviews Z Machine 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.

W four c Y Radio, and I'm here with Rub

4
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:27.640
from set Machine Owen and Gareth Nice here of Bloodstock.

5
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:30.359
So how do you get to Bloodstock?

6
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:30.920
Know?

7
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.079
Not how you got here, but how did you get here?

8
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.200
Basically, we just sent off an email and asked if

9
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.320
anybody if they wanted us to be here, and we

10
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:42.960
go went back and said yeah going then a simple

11
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:43.320
as that.

12
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:44.119
Holy shit.

13
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:45.679
I don't know why more people don't try it.

14
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.640
I need to start a band and just send out emails.

15
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:50.439
Yeah.

16
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.560
So what do you think it is that impressed them

17
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.280
that they just said, yes.

18
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.359
Well, we are very much something different from a lot

19
00:00:58.359 --> 00:00:58.759
of the bands.

20
00:00:58.759 --> 00:00:59.200
I player.

21
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.520
We're instrumental, so we are like jazz and prog rock influenced.

22
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.599
We've got a saxophone. Robo View is the saxophone player. Yeah,

23
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.879
so it's just a lot different from everybody else. And

24
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.120
they seemed to like us this afternoon, so we must

25
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:12.879
have done something right.

26
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:18.120
Nice. So, as far as the sax goes, what was

27
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:19.879
your influence to play safs?

28
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:22.280
I bought a saxophone and they asked me to join

29
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.159
their band on flute, and I said, but I've got

30
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.280
a saxophone, and then realized I needed to learn how

31
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.439
to play it. So one of my favorite bands is

32
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.480
Gone and that the saxophone player from that was giving

33
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.200
lessons out in Lockdown. So I email to inter Connections

34
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.760
and since I needs have taught me, that's wait basically

35
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.640
for five years. So I've learned saxophone for this band. Essentially.

36
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:42.319
Wow.

37
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:48.239
Yeah, I hope there's future musicians listening is because that

38
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.439
would make me want to play saxophone or any instrument.

39
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.760
Just buy it first, fuck knowing how to play it,

40
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:57.400
figure that out later.

41
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.319
That's my method, and you know that it is.

42
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.280
I love hearing a positive benefit of COVID, and I

43
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.039
think that is a benefit COVID. It allowed people to

44
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:09.960
get creative once again.

45
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.159
Absolutely did. Yeah. Yeah, we did a lot of writing

46
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.400
during that period as well. Yeah.

47
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:18.159
I've always said that the best music is going to

48
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.120
come out of COVID because of that.

49
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.240
Yeah, I think I agree. Like we did a lot.

50
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.240
We did a lot with COVID, even though we couldn't

51
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.360
meet up like remotely. We did a lot. And then

52
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:29.680
when we brought it all together, it was much easier

53
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.280
to bring it all into to manifest it into the

54
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:32.719
real world.

55
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.039
Essentially, it's kind of like if you're training for something,

56
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.479
you do the really really hard way, and then when

57
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.719
you do the normal way, it's super easy, right.

58
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.080
Yeah, Yeah, that's the way.

59
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.560
So what kid festivals do you normally play.

60
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.159
You've normally been playing stuff on the most psychedelic rock scene.

61
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.080
So last year was the last year we played Cousfest.

62
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.439
Yeah, so last year we played cos Fir, which is

63
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.280
a more psychedelic rock, keepy sort of side of things.

64
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:04.599
Yeah.

65
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.719
They seem to like us over there as well, which

66
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.879
is nice. You seem to be able to have a

67
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:10.159
foot in a food different camps.

68
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.479
So they love that. Because listen, anybody that says they

69
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.400
only like one kind of music.

70
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.639
Is lying absolutely, or they don't like music. Yeah.

71
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:26.280
I always like to say I am a metal head, punker, hippie.

72
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:27.520
Cover only basis.

73
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:28.639
Yeah, I like it all.

74
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.120
Yeah, like p He's a good song. It's a good song,

75
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:32.120
isn't it exactly?

76
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.319
And when I was a teenager, I would go to

77
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.000
a Slayer show on Friday night and a Dead show

78
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.879
on Saturday. Yeah, I had to do the Slayer of

79
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.560
Friday night because my brain would be too much vegetate

80
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:45.639
because Player after the Dead.

81
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.080
Yeah, I wouldn't have seen an impact with it exactly.

82
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.759
At least get all out at Slayer and then you

83
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:52.759
can chow out at the.

84
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:53.840
Dead, right, Yeah, of course.

85
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.400
So what was that one moment in time for each

86
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.520
one of you that you knew music was what you

87
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.080
wanted to do, And for you it's more like what

88
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:05.240
made you buy a sax?

89
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.639
For me, it was some point when I was in

90
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.120
college and I wanted to go down something more like

91
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.759
an engineering side of things, and I talk of course

92
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.240
on music technology just to sort of help me get

93
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.199
along with my guitar playing and stuff like that, and

94
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.839
I don't know, to record myself. And then as I

95
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.279
was doing that, I realized, no, I really like this.

96
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:26.800
This is the thing that I really like to do.

97
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.639
While it's not like my job or anything, it is

98
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.879
sort of my primary focus on And it was since then,

99
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.480
when I was about seventeen, I think, so pushing on

100
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.279
twenty years ago now, I decided this makes more sense

101
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:39.319
to me than anything else.

102
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.399
Nice and yeah, I've always loved music since a very

103
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.560
early age and it's all I've ever wanted to do,

104
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.519
so I grew up listening to progressive rock from my

105
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.920
dad's vinyl collection, my gentle Giant jat Hotel, bands like that,

106
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.720
and I've always just pursued that and tried to make

107
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.160
music that I think will be interesting and that I

108
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.959
would enjoy listening to myself. And I played a lot

109
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.680
different instruments, so it's so I've always just stabbled in

110
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:07.639
loads of different things. No jack of all trades, mastering you.

111
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:09.759
Might be a master of one now, who knows.

112
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.519
Maybe maybe I remember being eight in nineteen ninety two

113
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.360
and there's a big concert called Expo ninety two in

114
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:22.319
Seville in Spain, and Joe Saciani and Steve I opened

115
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.560
like one of the days, and from that I was like,

116
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:25.480
I need to play guitar.

117
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:27.879
So yeah, that's basically a budget, and.

118
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.720
From there it's just been about diversifying interests, not just

119
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.240
listening to metal or rock, but I like a lot

120
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.399
of jazz and funk and whatever.

121
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.240
Basically, if there's a guitar in it, I could.

122
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.399
Find somebody to enjoy about it, and then it's gone

123
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.319
beyond that as well. It's kind of like, okay, so

124
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.920
you know, one of their where the instrumentations in there.

125
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:50.800
It doesn't matter.

126
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:57.240
Good music just transcends like genre style instrumentation. It's like

127
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.040
if you can find something positive about a tune, then.

128
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:04.800
And he's the best therapy ever. Yeah, And to your point,

129
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:09.319
I think we all evolve in our music tastes. We

130
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:11.800
didn't wake up one day and we all we liked

131
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:16.079
Slayer and nothing else ever for the rest of our life. Example,

132
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.879
like you, not my parents, but my older brother who

133
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.360
was eleven years older. I used to steal his albums.

134
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:30.480
I didn't know what they sounded like. Yes, and the Rascals,

135
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:36.600
the grassroots, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Crosby, Stills, Nash. And

136
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:41.079
then I was at this friend's house that I had

137
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.600
just met and pulled. He pulled out two albums, which

138
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:50.800
shows my bipolar music taste, and I loved them both.

139
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:55.959
First one was Grateful Dead Skeletons in the Closet and

140
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.920
Were of the Clauset and I'm like, whoa, that's good shit.

141
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.879
But then he pulled out this black album with red

142
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:11.120
writing and lightning bolt S's in white. We sold our

143
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.879
souls for rock and roll And that was when my

144
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:22.240
journey to Bloodstock began, right there, yep, Sabbath, but I

145
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:26.199
mean also the first album I ever owned in my life,

146
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.399
I didn't buy it. I was at I lived in

147
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.800
New Jersey. One that I bought at the boardwalk at

148
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.600
the Jersey Shore was the original Kiss album, the first

149
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.279
one I won it, and I looked at Oh they

150
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.199
look cool type of thing. But I was a Beatles

151
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.319
freak too, so like we all look at Ozzie, the

152
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.920
Prince of Darkness, who was its biggest love and influenced

153
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:54.639
the Beatles. And I think the younger generations still, I

154
00:07:54.639 --> 00:08:01.399
think they should learn that that there's they're idols way

155
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:02.160
beyond metal.

156
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.319
I think what you find is what a lot of

157
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.800
people do is they find their influences and who they like,

158
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.120
and then they find the influences of their influences and

159
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:12.759
they work their way backwards. So people are like Sabbath

160
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.560
and they go, oh, what was all the listening.

161
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:15.040
Group growing up?

162
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:16.920
Oh, you like the Beatles and you go listen to

163
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.399
the Beatles and they think, what are the Beatles like?

164
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.959
And then they go and find all that American blues

165
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.079
positions influence them, all that sort of stuff, and it

166
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.519
everyone works backwards from there.

167
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.240
Absolutely, if you were to name one man that you

168
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.200
think was your biggest influence each one of you. What

169
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:33.799
would it be.

170
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:35.639
For me?

171
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.279
Biggest influence is a hard one to pin down, but

172
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.600
I come back to Rush an awful lot. Wow, that's

173
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.919
the biggest influence. I don't know, but it's when I

174
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.840
do come back to a Lot and find myself going, oh,

175
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.120
that riff I played the other day, that's come from

176
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.600
something Alex Lifsinstan or something they've done in Rush.

177
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:53.360
So probably there, I think.

178
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.279
All right, now I'll have to ask you another question

179
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:57.360
and reference to that.

180
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.360
What album one album? Farewell to Kings is one of

181
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.080
my favorites.

182
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:04.960
That's a great one.

183
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:05.559
Yeah.

184
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.039
I love Rush too. I lost him when they started

185
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.919
getting like after Moving Pictures, when.

186
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:13.480
They went in the eighties and they started doing the

187
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:14.960
more synthesizer based stuff.

188
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.600
Yeah, yeah, just because it wasn't it like to me?

189
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.559
I loved everything from the beginning. And twenty one twelve yeah,

190
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:23.519
oh my god.

191
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.440
Yeah, that's right up there. Well, I think I found

192
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.320
with twenty one twelve is the album too? The first

193
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.080
side of twenty one twelve is fantastic, but I don't

194
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:32.720
think the rest of the album quite hot.

195
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:33.200
Stands up.

196
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.840
I always feel I remember the rest of yeah.

197
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.360
Whereas I feel like with something like a Farewell to

198
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.279
Kings and things like that and Hemispheres, the more complete

199
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.360
album yeah yeah.

200
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.559
Even the original Rush album.

201
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:45.720
Man.

202
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:47.360
Yeah, like John Ratzi on there.

203
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:51.840
Yeah, mine would be Stevie Wonder Nice. You finally got

204
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.799
a chance to see him a few weeks ago in

205
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.279
Cardiff for the first time, and yeah, it's just incredible,

206
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.679
like guys like in his mid to late seventies and

207
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.159
he's still sounds pretty perfect. And the album would be

208
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.240
Songs of Here Life, which as far as I'm considered,

209
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:07.919
it is probably the best album.

210
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:12.799
Nice and my dad that was one of his favorites

211
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:14.519
with Stevie One Look and yeah.

212
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:15.200
Yeah. Well.

213
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:16.919
One of the things I partickl you like about that

214
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.320
album is it doesn't just showcase the singles.

215
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.480
It's got like s Duke, which is my favorite song

216
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:23.240
of all time.

217
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.080
That song there, But it's also got tunes like Contusion,

218
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.879
which are like it could be on the Herbie Hancock

219
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:29.559
album something.

220
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:31.240
It's like some crazy fusion stuff.

221
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:36.080
So it showcases like everything that he could do compositionally.

222
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.240
So not only could he write incredible songs that people

223
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.480
could sing along to. But he's also like, here's a

224
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.799
bit of a like spanning the works, there's some something

225
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:44.759
really weird.

226
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.080
That you might not recognize, you know. So yeah, I

227
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:47.440
love it.

228
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.080
Yes, So my main influence has changed over the years

229
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:55.000
a lot, And right now it's probably cardiacs, who are brilliant.

230
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:56.759
If you've never heard of them, then I haven't. You

231
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.879
should check them out because they're it's very rare.

232
00:10:58.960 --> 00:10:59.919
I haven't heard of something.

233
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.279
Oh yeah, they are absolutely brilliant. Like Tim Smith was

234
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:07.399
the composer, he was an absolute genius. Everything he touched

235
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.320
was gold basically. And it's crazy stuff. You can't predict it.

236
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.159
You don't know where it's going or what it's going

237
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.200
to be doing, but it's it's beautiful as well. It's

238
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:17.759
I think it's the only music that I've listened to

239
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:22.159
that instead of me getting it, it gets me. It's

240
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.000
really really important to me at the moment.

241
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.519
And here I'll give you since you play a saxophone,

242
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.799
I actually love Kenny G and David Samborn. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,

243
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.200
And so I don't think you'll find many metal heads

244
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:39.919
will admit that, no, that's not but it's fucking brilliant,

245
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.879
and that's the point. Music is music, and we have

246
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.240
different times, different vibes, things that we like. We shouldn't

247
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.000
limit ourselves on a genre, and especially artists. That's why

248
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.519
I don't want to hear the genre of an artist,

249
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.639
because artists are not supposed to be put in a box.

250
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:00.919
Play whatever you want and whatever you feel. Yes, it

251
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:01.879
doesn't matter.

252
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.639
What John, Yeah, I totally agree.

253
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:06.360
Yeah, it's a right thing you want to tell listeners.

254
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:07.799
We haven't covered already.

255
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.000
We've released an album and it's called Merging Worlds. It's

256
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:14.759
quite crazy. It's instrumental. You can't really predict it or

257
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.759
describe it very well, but it's got heavy moments, lighter moments.

258
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:22.200
It's full of saxophones. Two extremely brilliant guitar players, and

259
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.080
amazing drummer and a brilliant bassist. So it's like we're

260
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:26.960
great musicians.

261
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.440
You might like your band, you might like the band, you.

262
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.279
Might listen to anything. This isn't for me, but you

263
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.559
might really like it. Here you go, give it a listen.

264
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.440
Tell everybody how they can reach out to you on socials,

265
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.320
on the web. Buy your merch if you have some,

266
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.480
because they can't listen to my show and let's say

267
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:42.440
buy your merch.

268
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:44.879
Right, Yeah, so merch you can find on band camp,

269
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.559
c research, Dead Machine on bank Camp. We should pop

270
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:49.840
up on there and you'll get the album off that tool,

271
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:53.679
CDs to download and get the t shirts and stuff.

272
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.919
On Instagram and Facebook. We're at Sad Machine Whales. We're

273
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:01.879
on Spotify as well, Said Machine or Emerging Wheels on Spotify.

274
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.919
You can find us there. I think that's about all

275
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:04.240
of it.

276
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:08.960
And well, your band members got distracted by my original

277
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.639
eighties battle Vest.

278
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.799
It's a classic. Yeah, it's.

279
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:16.279
Death.

280
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:21.120
We got Exodus, we got Dark Angel. You know visa bands.

281
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:24.000
I grew up classic bands. Yeah.

282
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.399
Yeah, I just interviewed Gene Hoagland last month and I

283
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:32.159
pulled the time, like you recognize that logo. They have

284
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:33.879
a new album out. By the way, do you know

285
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:38.919
that Death Angel and No Dark but Death Things will

286
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.759
be at Bloodstock next year? They yeah, they announced it.

287
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:46.759
The other was of the bands, Yes, Cool and Dark

288
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:51.519
Angels actually on tour, which amazes me. But I love

289
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.399
it you guys rock. I love that they had you

290
00:13:54.440 --> 00:14:00.000
at Bloodstock and you're so like eclectic in your music.

291
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.120
That's probably the best way to describe it, right, alectic.

292
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.240
Yeah, well, thanks a lot for being there and thanks

293
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:07.799
for being on the Adventures of pipe Man.

294
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:09.159
Yeah, thanks very much for having us.

295
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:14.879
Michelle Kerr was my press officer for my entire fucking

296
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.919
career here in the UK, my entire career with Machine D.

297
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.799
She recently passed away and it was a very, very

298
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.519
sad day. And I can tell you the reason that

299
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.440
I'm gonna tell this story is because she was family.

300
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:36.440
She was Bloodstock family, she was heavy metal UK family.

301
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.960
Most of the bars.

302
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:43.279
That you know and love you probably heard of because

303
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:50.559
of that woman right there, Slive Knots, Slayer, Machinehead, Trivium Kills,

304
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.200
which engaged Hey Breed, you name it.

305
00:14:55.960 --> 00:15:00.159
She helped lift everybody up. Man, She helped lift everybody up,

306
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.759
and in so many ways, she helped make this entire

307
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.240
music scene, this incredible, beautiful community that lives here at

308
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:12.519
Bloodstock Man. She helped make it. So, ladies and gentlemen,

309
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.440
please make some noise from Michelle Kerr.

310
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:25.279
