We are missing the drumma right now because he's at

20
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:13.840
you know, and somehow he cut his finger open. Oh shit,

21
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.760
so he had to be patched up to play the gig.

22
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.319
And now he is getting stitches.

23
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.200
Wow. Now that's metal. That was metal.

24
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.959
Come on, that is total metal. And I am like

25
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.400
it really blew my mind. This is like an interview

26
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.480
that I wanted most of all of them, because like

27
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.000

28
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.280
I mean, that's just incredible.

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.959
It is, it is, it's almost unbelievable.

30
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.359
Just like Dan said, we're sorry of missing Goozy because

31
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:52.799
he's the only surviving original member of the band. And now, yeah,

32
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.239
well we'll have to pay on the blood on the bricks,

33
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.760
but blood on the drums and yeah he's getting stitched

34
00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:58.439
up right now.

35
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.239
There's blood on my eighty battle vest too.

36
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:02.840
It should be right.

37
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:04.040
Take a look at that.

38
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:05.040
It looks nice. People.

39
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.719
You cannot see it, but it says Slayer on Metallica.

00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:09.639
And there's some what's this.

You needed to get that stitched up as well.

105
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:52.040
You might have a heart attack if you don't have them. So, like,

106
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.639
it is wild to me. That's why I had to

107
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.680
come cover this festival. It's wild to me that it

108
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:03.040
started off as like this little nothing and has turned

109
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:07.480
into the biggest metal festival in the.

110
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.040
World, in the fucking world. Yeah, we we didn't know it.

111
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:15.319
You could say whatever the fuck you want, okay, I mean.

112
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.120
Okay, Now, we were in this very small band back then,

113
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:20.759
and we knew the guys and they.

114
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:21.600
Invited us to play.

115
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:26.319
So we actually played in nineteen ninety two with our

116
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.120
band back then, and now we arrived here on the

117
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.199
thirty fifth anniversary.

118
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.480
It's incredible. It's really incredible.

119
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:33.920
It is.

120
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.720
And even as it's Americans, like we look at this.

121
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.439
It's like a millionaire story, you know, from a small

122
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.839
festival to.

123
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:44.680
To the biggest in the world.

124
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:45.720
You know, it's funny.

125
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.399
I had to come to Germany for the American dream

126
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.879
because that would be the American dream, that's where you

127
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.560
get out. Yeah, and it just blows my mind. And

128
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.439
then yesterday, first of all, I live in Florida. I'm

129
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.920
sorry I brought this heat with me. Okay, well it's

130
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:02.759
better than last year.

131
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.800
It's you know, it's rain or shine, and today everybody

132
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.079
says shine because it's not raining.

133
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.079
Everybody's better than last year. But I gotta tell you,

134
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:12.720
I had like one hour.

135
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.480
Break yesterday during the day, so I decided to roam

136
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.040
the ground. Of course, I only touched a small part

137
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:20.360
of it.

138
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.519
I was like, oh my god, you could walk like

139
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.120
twenty miles around the whole place and not see everything,

140
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:28.759
which is what's going on here.

141
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.120
It's incredible.

142
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.279
That's the wasteland where it looks like matt Mix.

143
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:34.639
Yeah.

144
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:39.120
Then there's this pirate thing and medieval market and what

145
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:40.319
have you.

146
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.519
I saw the pirate thing, but I didn't see the

147
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.800
wistland yet, and I had it in my thing. I

148
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.680
want to go see the fights and all that stuff,

149
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.279
and I haven't made it yet because I'm stuck in here.

150
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:59.399
And you know, basically, I mean I've been to hell

151
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.639
fast and I was thinking before coming here. I'm like, well, health,

152
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.839
that's pretty big. It can't be much bigger than that.

153
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.240
I'm here now, Holy fucking shit, Like I can walk

154
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:12.920
with health fast in the hour.

155
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.199
I can't walk this shit in the now.

156
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.480
No, No, I don't know how they do it, but

157
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.879
it's still got this family village vibe to it.

158
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:22.839
You know what I'm saying.

159
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.519
It's everybody knows everybody, from the crew to the stay chance,

160
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.000
to the merged guys, to the caterers.

161
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:32.360
Everyone.

162
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:33.679
It's like a family.

163
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.000
Really, it is a totally It sounds like I'm exaggerating,

164
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:38.120
but no, it's not.

165
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.240
It's and we're I'm, like I said, I'm the new guy.

166
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:46.200
I'm surprised every year how smoothly everything goes and how

167
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:47.600
relaxed everybody is.

168
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.159
And the whole metal family is so cool.

169
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.000
There's thresh metal, heavy metal, dark metal, light metal, I

170
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.679
don't know, metal metal, blah blah blah blah blah. And

171
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:02.440
everybody's tolerant, everybody's peaceful, everybody just enjoying being together.

172
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:03.240
Loud music.

173
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:08.000
I mean, we're listening to only John Row from Scorpions

174
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:09.279
right now in the background.

175
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:09.799
Can you hear it?

176
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:11.759
Yep? Yeah.

177
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:12.759
And then on the.

178
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.559
Next stage of this year about sabotage. Then the next

179
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.919
bend will be therapy and so on and so on.

180
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:19.559
It's it's incredible.

181
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:21.200
Don't tell sabotage.

182
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:25.320
But like I was, I wanted to interview you guys,

183
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:26.440
Warden sabotage.

184
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.879
Don't tell no, Okay, you know.

185
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:35.080
And it's interesting because I have this and I just

186
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.799
thought something as you were talking. But I have an idea,

187
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:39.960
but then I didn't know where I was going to

188
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:41.799
do it, and I think it should be done here.

189
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.120
I have the idea of how to solve all the

190
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.200
world's problems.

191
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.919
Okay, basically do.

192
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:53.919
It one May one main metal festival that.

193
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.360
The whole world is required.

194
00:09:55.879 --> 00:10:03.639
To attend, except the world lead and any politicians. Security

195
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:10.159
has very strong instructions they are not allowed. And then

196
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.559
everybody just has one big wall of death and moshpit

197
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:18.080
and will work all our shit out. And now I realize,

198
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.080
being here, this is probably the only place in the

199
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.879
world that we could accomplish it.

200
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.080
Yeah, this is the closest thing right.

201
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.080
Right, you know, because metal heads everybody's scared of us,

202
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:31.519
but we're a big family.

203
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.919
You go into the pit, somebody falls, you pick them up.

204
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.399
You're bashing against each other, and then when it's over,

205
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.080
you give each other a hug, and then we're not

206
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.000
kicking people's asses outside.

207
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:45.240
Yeah, that is incredible.

208
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.759
Yeah, it's because we let off steam ahead of time,

209
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.799
so there's no aggression.

210
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:55.320
At all, whether they want to say, well.

211
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:59.120
They're looking at us.

212
00:10:57.960 --> 00:10:59.279
Is that your drummer over there?

213
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:04.279
Because I see because I saw it stuff around his fingers.

214
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:04.960
Oh, there you go.

215
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.320
That's why I was going to say, because I saw that,

216
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.960
I'm like, maybe that's the stitches. He ran over from

217
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.200
the infirmary because he heard the pipe man were still

218
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:13.360
in an interview.

219
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.559
Just to make a little advertisement advertising. How do you

220
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:20.200
say it?

221
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.399
It's a commercial break right now because we have two

222
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.759
albums out and we're planning a third one because the

223
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:27.960
fans love it so much.

224
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.399
Tonight we played too. Yeah, it's if nobody would.

225
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.399
Ever come to our shows because we're mainly known as

226
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.759
kind of a cover band, but we have a Yeah,

227
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.320
we developed the soul of our own and if you

228
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.799

229
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.360

00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:56.039
La Jakobson and mixed by.

231
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:59.200

233
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.320
Am I are you?

234
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.600
You wanted to bring that up to You're right, you're

235
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.759
my co host. And the first album is like it

236
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.639
paved the way. It's called uncovered because just like I said,

237
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.799
we were kind of more of a cover band ahead

238
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.720
of time. And then yeah, we're getting our own identity now,

239
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:24.399
so come and check us out.

240
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:25.399

My my favorite song is Oh that's that's a tough one,

He passed away three days after my birthday. Oh really,

00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.320
I was really sad. I was why do you do that?

284
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:19.440
I don't know.

285
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:23.679
I cut my wrists several times, but I just won't die.

286
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:27.159
Okay, So how about you?

like a hero, you know. I really I'm in the

289
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.919
core of my soul. I am also a little soul

290
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:42.000
and bon Scott is sold.

291
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:43.279
Yeah.

00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.120
I was saying rock and roll soul, you know.

293
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.960
And what's your favorite cover song that you guys have played.

294
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:57.879
I have no idea. I cannot tell you. Like Joey here,

295
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.519
I sing my own songs, but.

296
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.279
So he gave his own song. Let's switch gears. What's

297
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.279
your favorite own song to play?

298
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:11.080
My favorite own song to play is actually becoming youth

299
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:14.159
a new song now, because today we played a brand

300
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:15.440
new song called Superhero.

301
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:17.960
Oh. I like the name of that alone.

302
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:21.720
Yeah, I mean, and it's like it's brilliant to play,

303
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.000
and the audience it seems to like it a lot.

304
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.480
It had such superpowers that I could hear it here

305
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.120
in the press.

306
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:29.279
Ten.

307

00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:33.559
send it to. I promise you.

00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:36.279
I love it. Okay, let's get their choices.

310
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.200
That's so on tape.

311
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:44.480
I have proof, I have proof, you have proof. Yep. Okay,

312
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:45.080

313
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:47.159
I have a choice as well.

314
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:48.120
You have a choice.

315
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.840
You can either pick your favorite original of yours or

316
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.159
your favorite cover song that you've played.

317
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:56.960
Actually, I don't have a favorite cover song.

318
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:00.720
See, none of you got that question? Bad?

319
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:05.480
Yeah he also doesn't have one, I hope. And my

320
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.320
favorite own song is called under the Radar.

321
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:09.440
Nice.

322
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.639
I live like that my whole life.

323
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:15.759
So I like maybe the song is about somebody like you.

324
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.480
It might be.

325
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:20.600
It might be, especially now with what's going on in

326
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.799
my country. I like to stay way under the radar.

327
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:28.120
Too late.

328
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:34.440
Okay, then it's me a little forward or backwards on

329
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.919
Scott is nice. But the best ACDs album is still

330
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:39.919
Back in Black. I think, yeah, that's argue.

331
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.720
I don't know. I don't know.

332
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:46.639
My my lovely own song is Kill the Queen. I

333
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:47.519
think from the first.

334
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:53.279
Item, all right, nice, now, okay, so you're not gonna

335
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:56.799
like me for this. I do like Back in Black,

336
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.559
but when I first bought it, I did not like it.

337
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:02.279
But because in.

338
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.519
Our time, you spent your hard earned money as a

339
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:09.319
kid buying an album, you listen to it until you

340
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:09.960
like it.

341
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.359
That's what's been with me. It was the first album

342
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:15.400
I bought Brandy New Oh there you go. I was

343
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.440
a kid and heard the CDC, the older SDC albums,

344
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.839
but this was the first on my first stereo compact and.

345
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:28.319
Lag wow say that ten times fast.

346
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:32.400
I put it on hurd bing Bing and I was fleshed.

347
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:34.079
Nice.

348
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:39.240
So here's what's interesting that we talked about Maiden and

349
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:45.000
ac DC is that their two bands that are probably

350
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:49.240
were the most successful to take a unique voice and

351
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.240
find one similar. And if you understand what I mean,

352
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:59.079
like Brian Johnson, Bond Scott, it's similar, you know, Bruce Dickinson,

353
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.799
Deano similar, not the same, but like you have all

354
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.440
these bands that try again new singer that's.

355
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.359
Totally different the end of the band.

356
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:09.480
Right, yeah, exactly. That's why we.

357
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:10.799
Never switched thingers.

358
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.880
We have we have the best. Really, where is the

359
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.359
check us out? He's right in front of you. I

360
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.039
want I was tempted to say open your eyes, but

361
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:25.039
I should say open your ears.

362
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:28.400
Yeah, right there you go. Well I could tell how

363
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:32.519
good he was because and we have proof because he

364
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:38.599
sang on the interview, when's your meet and greet?

365
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:44.440
The next you need to go? When do you need

366
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:45.599
to go for the meet and greet?

367
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.759
Oh we are busy band today. Now we haven't meet

368
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:49.200
and greet.

369
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.519
Okay, well we'll be done. Go ahead.

370
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.880
He wants he wants to mister shuttle. He's like, fuck

371
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:00.640
the meet and Greek. This is more fun.

372
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:01.839
It is.

373
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:09.240
So now let's say, well, first, let's pick this should

374
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:10.200
be an easy question.

375
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.720
If you fail, I'm getting.

376
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:14.680
He's very Christians in a row thing.

377
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:15.759
No, it's just.

378
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.200
This one more and then there'll be other stuff we

379
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:20.799
talk about, but this one. If you get it wrong,

380
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:25.400
then I end the interview. Okay, what's your favorite music

381
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.359
festival in the whole world?

382
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:31.559
Fucker, there you go.

383
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:34.119
You might was an easy one. Thank you, Dan.

384
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.359
We're trying to get you to play again every year.

385
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:36.799
Yeah.

386
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:39.119
I think you should play every year. You should be

387
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:41.359
like the house band of Vaking.

388
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.559
That's what we are, actually, right, I've been playing since

389
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.839
two thousand and nine in a row, every single year,

390
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:52.960
every single year. See always on the main stage, and

391
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:54.240
one of the main stages is.

392
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:58.279
Faster and hotter, always opening the.

393
00:19:58.519 --> 00:19:59.359
That's what she says.

394
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.920
Stay, that's what she said, harder. Yeah, I got it.

395
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.240
I got you, and we're looking.

396
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.480
Forward to doing it thirty five years more so we

397
00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:14.119
will be the first headliner ever to come out in wheelchairs.

398
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:15.880
I like it.

399
00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:20.039
Well, I mean we are the band who played the

400
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:21.599
most times on backan.

401
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:23.920
I love it.

402
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:26.839
No. I think a couple of years ago it was

403
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:27.759
seventeen times.

404
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.319
Wow, that's a lot of time.

405
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:34.200
Yeah, and nobody can beat us in that.

406
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:36.519
I think that's the only reason people come to Vocking

407
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:37.799
to come to your set.

408
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:40.119
Wow. Maybe I don't know.

409
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.480
When you read in the online forums, you can.

410
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:48.039
You can read that people are talking about it in

411
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:51.799
this Okay, we can go around here unrecognized.

412
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:53.400
Right, we're not famous or something.

413
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.000
But the name Skyline is and the band the act

414
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:01.400
is playing, and it's they say, if Skyline and does

415
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:05.359
not open the stage on Thursday, it's not a vakan.

416
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:08.000
It's like in the opera, as long as the blonde

417
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:11.440
fat woman doesn't sing, the opera is not over.

418
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.799
Right, that's right, that's right. Do you say, yes, it's

419
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.880
not over. It's not over till the fat ladies things.

420
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.519
It's not over till Skyline plays.

421
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:23.359
That's why it is.

422
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:25.880
It hasn't started.

423
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:27.440
That's right, that's right.

424
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:31.960
It's only complete with the firefighters, with Skyline, with all

425
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:37.119
the stages, with Choumas and Hauga giving their speech and stuff. Man,

426
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:40.000
it's like I said, it's a it's a it's a

427
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.640
traditional thing, but without being boring.

428
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:46.759
See, I am interviewing the firefighters too for the same

429
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:50.799
reason because like those are the bands of my interview,

430
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:56.319
the ones that really make vacant Vacan simple as that.

431
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:00.960
Also, the inhabitants in the village, I mean, come on,

432
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.400
they could be so annoyed that people are vomiting or

433
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:09.759
pissling in the gardens. No, they make little loose for them.

434
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:14.480
They sell cookies and drinks or just let people sleep there.

435
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:15.359
It's great.

436
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:18.680
Next year, that's what I want to do. I'm just

437
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:19.759
gonna sleep there.

438
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:22.640
You No, No, the next year is going to be

439
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.480
a little different because there will be an undermining of

440
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.119
the holy ground, and there will be a garage for

441
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:35.119
to park and more be a pipelines and so we

442
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:37.279
all can stay here all year.

443
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.000
Well, here's what I really want to request from the

444
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:47.200
people that run vokin Build a tunnel from the US

445
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:51.880
to here, so that we can all just come across

446
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:54.759
the tunnel to vok In and not worry about getting

447
00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:58.400
stopped at the border. Yeah, that could be great, right,

448
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.640
And I'll tell you what too. It blew my mind yesterday.

449
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:08.319
It happened by mistake that I was over like when

450
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:10.799
I was doing that wandering I told you about. I

451
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.519
happened to be there when they were doing opening the infield.

452
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:16.519
Now I was at the accident.

453
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:20.160
By accident, I was there, okay, and I didn't know

454
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:21.559
what was going on at first.

455
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.400
I'm looking at I.

456
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:25.480
Got to read your schedule more probably I was too.

457
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:30.440
Busy interview and so, but I end up over there,

458
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:33.960
and it's so, is it that time?

459
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:36.000
Okay, go ahead. I ended up.

460
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:40.839
Over No, I end up over there, and it reminded me.

461
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:43.440
I was at the UTS Festival in nineteen eighty three.

462
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:45.759
It reminded me of that when they opened the gates

463
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:49.200
and everybody's just running. I almost got trampled because I

464
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:51.839
was videoing it. I had to jump out of the way.

465
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:52.480
Oh quo.

466
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:59.680
Okay to the listeners off W four, see why this

00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:09.480

We love you.

I don't know what it.

472
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.319
Was my pleasure gathering. Build that tunnel so we can

473
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:22.960

474
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:24.359
