1
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:12.599
Hi, you live then too, censure wow for you young

2
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:25.280
right Badusa.

3
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.280
It is pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man

4
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.719
w four c Y Radio, and I'm here with Spencer

5
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.520
from under o nice here back at Welcome to Rockville.

6
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:43.039
Back we are back baby.

7
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.759
So we were just talking before getting on about Rockville

8
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.079
Louder than life and all the people and how many

9
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.399
people and like or selverybody said rock is dead and

10
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:56.799
I tell them go to a Danny Wimmer festival.

11
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:57.640
Yeah.

12
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.439
And and like I was saying before we started this thing,

13
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.280
I think, no matter who owns the festival, be it

14
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.400
a Warp tour or a Wimmer festival or a random

15
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.799
hardcore festival one off somewhere, you see the numbers rising,

16
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.840
that's a win for everybody, because who cares if as

17
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:21.159
long as it's rock music pulling in big numbers, it's

18
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.640
a win for everybody, even if you didn't own the festival,

19
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.319
like you would celebrate like, hey, people are showing up

20
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.920
for rock bands again. You know, I think we did

21
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.959
see a downtick for a little while there and in

22
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.480
this whole scene for a minute, you know, maybe five

23
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.640
ten years ago, but now it seems like it's bigger

24
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:39.200
than ever.

25
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:39.879
Which is exciting.

26
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:41.840
It definitely is like.

27
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.200
You said, rock music is not dead.

28
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.920
Music with guitars is not dead, and to see it

29
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.840
growing is exciting. I mean, we've been doing this for

30
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.439
twenty years and.

31
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.879
Every year it's like, how could it be better?

32
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:59.480
And people keep showing up and younger generations kee discovering music.

33
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:03.840
Like our drummer was at his son's show the other night.

34
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.079
His son is in like the school of rock. Oh yeah,

35
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.120
and I wasn't there obviously. He flew to go see

36
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.800
his son and do this thing and we were coming

37
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.319
in this morning. Was telling me about it and his son,

38
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.039
who's I don't want to quote this from maybe twelve

39
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:22.120
or thirteen, maybe fourteen, but in that age group was

40
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.520
it is listening to the band said like we grew

41
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.400
up on like Alice in Chains and corn and loves

42
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.039
Old Slip, not like like all the stuff that we

43
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:33.800
were getting into at that young age, from grunge to

44
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:35.560
the early stages of new metal.

45
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:37.560
That's what the kids are listening to. I'm like, hey, man,

46
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:38.520
the kids all right, you know?

47
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.879
Yeah, and so what's wild to me? Okay? Because I

48
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:43.080
started in the eighties.

49
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.520
Yeah, and then I have my son who also into

50
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.919
metal on rock. But then his son I brought last

51
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.159
year Rockville. He's here today for Rockville and like he's fifteen,

52
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:57.639
he's my grandson.

53
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:02.159
No way, you're a granddad's christ No right, and he

54
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:03.199
it's so fine.

55
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:07.199
It's like it's like me reincarnated because I'm playing all

56
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.039
these bands in the car that I think he'll never know.

57
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:12.159
Them.

58
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.759
But to be fair, let's think about like, so when

59
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.960
I was a kid, bands that I grew up on

60
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.960
before getting my like our own discovery. We've got three

61
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.759
older brothers, so I was lucky. You know, I got

62
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.879
grunge right when it was you know, right at the beginning,

63
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.759
you know, when most kids my age weren't listen to

64
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.199
that because they were still listening to their parents' music.

65
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:30.919
But my parents.

66
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.199
I was turned on by you know, the Stones, Led, Zeppelin, Beatles,

67
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.360
Pink Floyd and most of this ship was oh.

68
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.639
Sorry, I can't say that you did say what you want,

69
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:41.159
all right.

70
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.439
Most of this ship was done before I was born,

71
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.000
but I loved it. So I don't think, you know,

72
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.520
I think we don't see things that way because we're like,

73
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.120
how did the kids know about stuff from our era?

74
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.280
But like, think about this stuff you listened to when

75
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.199
you were you know, like you like, I think we're

76
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.840
the great music to exists, and it's timeless. And I

77
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.159
don't mean that in the way of like people use

78
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.280
that word so loosely. I mean it as like an

79
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.800
eight year old kid here's led Zeppelin one for the

80
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.160
first time and goes, fuck, that's it. Not thinking that

81
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.879
eight year old kid isn't thinking, well, that was recorded

82
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.040
before my dad was born and maybe before my grand

83
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.439
you know, they're not thinking like that. That's what I

84
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.399
mean by like, great music is timeless because the era

85
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.720
was recorded shouldn't matter. Like I have listened to Pink

86
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.160
Floyd my whole life. And the other night we had

87
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.199
some friends over. Me and my wife had just put

88
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.160
on Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl. We're sitting there.

89
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.560
My buddy, a buddy of mine, never was a Pink

90
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.240
Floyd fan, was just like, you know, he had never

91
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.120
really paid attention to that record in the fact that

92
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.399
like that was created that long, Like if that was

93
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.439
created today, you would it would still go down as

94
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.240
the most phenomen one of the most phenomenal records of

95
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.360
all the time. So that's what I mean like great,

96
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.800
shit is just time. It doesn't matter when it was created.

97
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.279
It could be created tomorrow, it could be created before

98
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.920
your parents were born, and it's still fucking great. So

99
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.839
seeing kids falling in love with the music that we

100
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.160
fall in love with, and some of the music and

101
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.319
our parents fall in love with, it's just reassuring that

102
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:11.360
this isn't going anywhere.

103
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.240
Well, you know what, I think the key is musicianship,

104
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.519
and I think that's on the rise again. Yeah, like

105
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.240
a point that we wasn't and now you're getting even,

106
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.040
Like you take these bands like Dirty Honey and bands

107
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:29.879
like that that are bringing back that music of the seventies,

108
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:31.920
meaning the musicianship.

109
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:38.879
Yeah, yeah, I want to hear more human element in

110
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.000
music again. I don't want to hear I mean, everyone

111
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.000
got so good at computers that I think even the

112
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:49.160
heaviest quote unquote scariest music being made recently doesn't raise

113
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.480
a hair on my arm because it's so computerized and

114
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:56.879
so perfect and so unreal to make. So the more

115
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:01.480
human element I'm hearing in music again is exciting and

116
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.600
that's what makes my hairstin on it and gives me goosebumps,

117
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.160
you know, Like, and I think that's coming back, and

118
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:09.920
I think that's exciting.

119
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.040
Yeah, well, you know, it's funny you should say that

120
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.040
because I say that all the time. You know the

121
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.759
fact of like you have so many micro genres and subgenres.

122
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.639
I'm saying like a lot of metal nowadays is like

123
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.079
a formula that you plug in. But if you have

124
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.079
a stay in, that's multiple, Like if all your band

125
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:37.199
members have different you know, influences, genre influences. That's where

126
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.839
the uniqueness comes from. Otherwise it's just all the same.

127
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.199
Yeah, we don't. We need less of the same now.

128
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.439
I'm hoping that that is on the rise too, like

129
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:48.439
less of the same.

130
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:49.800
You know.

131
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:55.959
I want to know when I turn on something or

132
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:57.959
someone plays me for some place something for me, I

133
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.639
want it to be like I if I don't know

134
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.199
who it is, I want to be like who is that?

135
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:03.680
Or if I do know it is, I want to

136
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.240
immediately know because they're so you know, it's so unique

137
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.920
and so different, like oh that's this or that's that

138
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.600
guy's voice, or that's this. I don't want it to

139
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.360
be like, oh that sounds like this span, this band,

140
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:13.959
this spand this ban.

141
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.959
You know, I'm not looking for that in life anymore.

142
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.199
Like if you hear under oath, you know it's under.

143
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:19.639
Oath hopefully that's why.

144
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:20.399
That's why.

145
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.279
But still saying, like, go back to the eighties from

146
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.519
when I started in it, the Big four of Thrash,

147
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.279
none of them sounded the same at all. Yeah, they

148
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.680
had maybe the same components, yes, but other than that,

149
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.240
you could pick them out easily, like and you could

150
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.279
pick out the guitars, you could pick out the drums,

151
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.800
you could pick out the singer, all of it easily.

152
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.160
And so I think that's what I want to see.

153
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.759
Come back even more and more and more like where

154
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.639
you're just a unique get rid of the AI, Like

155
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:54.759
what's up with.

156
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:55.800
The AI music?

157
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.600
Like to me, like first they're taken in out of

158
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.959
school and now you're gonna just take it out of

159
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.279
musicians hands, And what good is it if it's just

160
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:07.040
some computer generation?

161
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:07.600
You know what?

162
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:14.079
My my hope in theory is is that AI it's

163
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.839
not going away and people aren't gonna stop using.

164
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.600
It, but that that kind of musician.

165
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.519
That's making the more mainstream and the more watered down

166
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.879
and the more music being made for money and for

167
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:30.199
success will be taken over by A because no one's

168
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.279
to be able to outdo it and think about five years.

169
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:32.519
You know.

170
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:34.600
So what I think that's gonna do is lift the

171
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:38.159
veil and like the artistic kids and the kids that

172
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:45.039
are really doing you know, like weird avant garde like

173
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.360
artistic shit, you know, like they're painting with a brush.

174
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.919
You know, like that will come to the forefront because

175
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.080
people are going to start to gravitate towards and see

176
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.600
that because it's real because I don't think computers are

177
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.080
gonna be able to create that kind of and and

178
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:03.360
I don't know if this is the right word to use,

179
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.159
but that kind of genius, like the the person.

180
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:10.240
That it doesn't have the emotional passionate element that music means, yeah.

181
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.480
In the to paint with that brush of like do

182
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:16.519
like following the artistic mind and the brain of where

183
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.960
it could create something that's not safe and not made

184
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:24.080
for TV radio and success. But you know, where's the

185
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.120
next Trent Resnor, Like people like Trent Resnor and Tom

186
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.679
Yorke that make these songs that are just like.

187
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:31.039
Where did that come from?

188
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.399
And I don't, I don't, and I don't think AI

189
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.639
will ever be able to do that. But I think

190
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.879
AI can make a blockbuster, you know, success like big

191
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.279
smash like machine wrapped up in plastic and zipped in

192
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.879
a perfect bag and presented on a you know, silver

193
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:49.039
platter for perfection, way better than a human will be

194
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.080
able to do. But that's not hopefully, that's not what

195
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.360
we're looking for, right well, you know.

196
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.039
We're looking for what I just saw recently. Okay, you're

197
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.600
talking about school rock. Now, there's more of those type

198
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.519
of places popping up. There's one down in West Palm

199
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.320
Beach by me. They just did a music festival in

200
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.240
West Palm Beach called the five six to one Festival.

201
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:17.399
There must have been forty bands, all from this school

202
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:22.159
that is similar to school of Rock. And these kids

203
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.519
were good. And it wasn't just kids, it was adult

204
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:29.919
it was kids. There was this one punk band. Two

205
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.159
of the members were like seven.

206
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:35.440
And I was like, this is the best fucking band

207
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:38.879
in the whole festival. Man, you know, so that's the

208
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:39.519
stuff I love.

209
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.240
Or like my grandson little did I know, Like his

210
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.480
birthday last year, I'm like, what do you want for

211
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:47.120
your birthday?

212
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.360
A guitar? Hell, okay, let's go. We're going to Guitar Center.

213
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.639
Yeah, and he He shocked the shit at of me

214
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.480
cause I didn't even know he knew exactly what he wanted,

215
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.919
what type of guitar. And they start playing a start

216
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.840
playing Green Day. I was like, you know, schorts already

217
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:09.440
there you go, wow, wow, you know, and uh, this year,

218
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:12.960
he wanted to go back again, get a keyboard. He

219
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.879
wanted to go back and get pedaled, like he's getting good.

220
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.080
That's the only place he wants me to get him

221
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.240
as gifts. Yeah, and I love that.

222
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.759
I love that good good and yeah, like you bring

223
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.080
it back full circle like you were telling me before

224
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.960
this interview started that they're breaking records again at Rockville

225
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.840
with attendance. And that's that's just exciting to me, is

226
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:38.879
you know, I don't care the reason. I'm just glad

227
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:41.200
people are here. You know, live music is something that

228
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.080
you know. I'm a music you know, this is my job,

229
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.879
you know, right, this is what I do for a living.

230
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:51.799
And I still am a fan.

231
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:57.240
I'm a diehard. I collect final I buy stuff from bands.

232
00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:57.919
I go to shows.

233
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.519
Me and my wife go I mean we go to

234
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.720
at least one show a month when I'm off at

235
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.000
the minimum. And it is and it's not like oh,

236
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:07.320
we got to go to a show because it's my

237
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:08.480
job and I need to do research.

238
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:09.200
No, it's not like that.

239
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.639
It's like, because there's a band coming through that I

240
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.840
fucking love, and like I wouldn't miss it, and even

241
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.200
if I don't, and if I don't know you, I'm

242
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.879
gonna buy the ticket, you know, you know, like I'm

243
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:23.159
I don't ever want to lose that part of me,

244
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.320
because I think I did at one point just before COVID,

245
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:31.480
and I got bitter and angry about music and different

246
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.080
you know, things about this industry that can really piss

247
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.840
you off when you dive into it. And then I

248
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:37.840
had to remember, I think, you know, I was living

249
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:40.200
in New York at the time, and in New York

250
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.200
you walk everywhere and take the subway, and you always

251
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.679
got your headphones in because it's just kind of what

252
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:44.919
you do.

253
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.679
And I was just listening again and listening all the.

254
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:49.600
Time, and I just fell back in love with music

255
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:51.879
and remembered why I started this, Because when I was

256
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:54.320
a kid like your grandson's age, I knew exactly what

257
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:54.759
I wanted.

258
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.240
I knew I saw, I saw, you know.

259
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:00.159
I grew up in Zeppelin and Floyd and all of

260
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:02.840
my parents, But I saw I saw Nirvana when I

261
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:04.600
was a kid. I had, like I told you earlier,

262
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.240
I had an older brother and two older step brothers

263
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:08.519
who were always listening to cool shit, and I was like,

264
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:14.200
that's it, you know. I saw that, you know, the

265
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.919
sweaty venue. You know, this is early Nirvana stuff, footage

266
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.399
and diving off of speakers and the anger and the

267
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.679
attitude and just a dude ripping a guitar and yelling

268
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:25.279
ato microphone.

269
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:26.240
I was like, that's what I want to do.

270
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.159
And I never stopped doing that, so I I still

271
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:34.600
to this day, like I go to a show as

272
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:36.840
a fan, and then if I get into invited to

273
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.039
a show that maybe not be my cup of tea,

274
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:40.559
I go with an open mind.

275
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.519
He's like's what's great about festivals?

276
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.440
Yeah, That's where I learned my new favorite bands at

277
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.480
a festival, Like don't come for the headlars, Yeah, come

278
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:49.919
for all of the music.

279
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.519
And I and honestly, I've been to a few things

280
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.159
that like, I wasn't necessarily a fan before, and I

281
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:55.919
left going like.

282
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:56.799
I get it.

283
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.080
I either get it or I'm like I get it

284
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.480
and I love it, you know, And I think that's.

285
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.320
Been there like so many times. Like one thing happened

286
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.919
to me. I was covering okachobefests. I'm like, I was

287
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:10.600
always like I don't get going through a concert of

288
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:12.960
a DJ, like go to the nightclub for that.

289
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.679
But then Scroaks came out and I was like.

290
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:19.279
I get it.

291
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:20.919
I'm looking I get it.

292
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.480
Yeah you know, and it's like, holy shit, this is

293
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:25.679
like a rock concert.

294
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.879
Yeah, you know. And that was what was cool about.

295
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:29.759
The funny story about him.

296
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.360
We we took him on his first couple of tours

297
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:33.919
when he was singing from the first to last.

298
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.720
He was sixteen years old, and.

299
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.039
They were in a van and we were at a

300
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.080
bus and we used to play Halo, like this is

301
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:44.039
original Halo on the Xbox in you know, and you

302
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.080
would connect the back lounch to the front lounge with

303
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.639
a land cable and most people listening maybe you not even.

304
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:49.759
Know what that is, but look it up.

305
00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:52.360
I had it, and uh we played front lounges with

306
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.759
back lounge in his name his halo name. And this

307
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.759
is way before he didn't even know what DJing was.

308
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.799
He hadn't even created that genre yet. His Halo name

309
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:02.440
was Skrillicks on our tour bus.

310
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:04.120
Wow, yeah, there you go.

311
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.039
And he was always the sweetest guy.

312
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.039
And we've run into him several times since he's made

313
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:11.519
it big, and he's still that sweet guy. Like, you know,

314
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:13.960
I've heard from him maybe once every other year or

315
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.399
so if I don't run into him, And like, I

316
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.519
think I reached out to him one time and I

317
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.559
heard from him since like twenty eighteen. I reached out

318
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:21.960
to him about a record he put out. I was like, man,

319
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:24.000
this is fucking great, and he was like, dude, I

320
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:25.759
mean so much coming. He was still a sweet guy,

321
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.679
still the same sweet kid that we met. And that's

322
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:30.759
the kind of large that that I love to see.

323
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.279
And the longer you do this, the more like there's

324
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:35.720
most of the people around are good people. Not I

325
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.200
mean obviously not all of them, but you know, you

326
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.279
find the real ones and they're they're still real. And

327
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.960
you see someone take that level of success and still

328
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:44.159
be the real dude that will text you back.

329
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:45.120
And he showed up.

330
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:46.960
We did a secret show one time in LA and

331
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:48.840
he popped up and was in our green room hanging,

332
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:50.240
and you know, I was like, that's the kind of

333
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.840
dude's like man, you're You're still the same kid that

334
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.919
we fell in love with at sixteen, and like, you know,

335
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.000
we love we cared for him and cared for those guys,

336
00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:58.759
you like, we love taking those guys on tour back

337
00:15:58.759 --> 00:15:59.080
in the day.

338
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.639
And still the same great kid. He's just a man now.

339
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.519
You know. It's awesome. Yeah, it's a longevy.

340
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.279
And at that festival, I found myself like jumping and

341
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:07.080
up and down.

342
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.559
Just like, oh, is that what your shows? Yeah? I

343
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.360
was like, this is fun.

344
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:13.519
Dude, we I know, we're just rambling here.

345
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:17.080
We played a festival one time, same same kind of

346
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.919
scenario when that world was kind of taking over and

347
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:26.519
we were overseas somewhere and dead Mouse was playing, and

348
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.600
me and our guitar player and our tech I think

349
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.960
we're like, let's go see what let's see what this

350
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:35.879
is about, and not go see and stand on the

351
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:39.000
side stats. We went around and entered where the crowd

352
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.320
was and got in the middle, and when he started,

353
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:45.159
the place just lit up and the people were and

354
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:46.559
it was like, oh my god, we're like in a

355
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:48.360
pit at a slipknot. It felt like that, you know,

356
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.600
it was like which I wouldn't I'm smart enough to

357
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.360
know I grew up in the hardcore scene, and I

358
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:54.320
wouldn't go get in the pit at a slipknot show,

359
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:56.159
you know what I mean, I'm not I don't want

360
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:58.679
to go home with bruises tonight. And we're in the

361
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:01.200
middle of the crowd when he started, and I remember

362
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:02.720
looking at our guitar player and going.

363
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:04.680
We gotta get out, we gotta get out because it

364
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.880
was so it was insane.

365
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.359
And then I left going like, you know, I'm gonna,

366
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.000
I'm gonna listen to it on the flight home and

367
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.279
I'm gonna Like I was like I get it because

368
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.319
like the energy I saw it, you know, and I

369
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:15.680
wasn't a fan going into it.

370
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.559
So yeah, well that's like I don't know if you

371
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:24.039
saw anywhere on social media, but yesterday Waka Floka came out.

372
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:24.880
And started a pit.

373
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.160
Oh I didn't, and then we got evacuated like he started,

374
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.920
he started a pit, and like there's it's all over

375
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.319
TikTok Man and there it was a killer pit with

376
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:38.759
him in there. Like so that that's what's cool about

377
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.960
the Wimmer festivals too. It's like this blend of everybody.

378
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:46.960
Yeah, I last year louder than Wife. I sang would

379
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:48.839
bring me the horizon, could we have a song together?

380
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:53.640
And that under Earth wasn't playing, And I was watching

381
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.359
Suicide Boys before, which I thought was a cool thing

382
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:58.599
for when we were to put on because that's a

383
00:17:58.720 --> 00:17:59.960
that's a different world, but it fit.

384
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:00.960
It fits so well.

385
00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:04.480
And you know, I've I've seen them live before and

386
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:06.599
the first time I saw them a couple of years

387
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.359
before that is where I was like, oh, I heavily

388
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:11.480
fuck with this band, you know, and it's not something

389
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:13.079
I would have again, not something that would have.

390
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:13.640
Been on my radar.

391
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:15.680
And then seeing that at a Danny Wimmerfest, I was like,

392
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:18.920
that's cool because a lot of these kids probably were

393
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:21.319
where I was at and didn't.

394
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:21.920
Know, you know, knew the name.

395
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.640
It wasn't like, you know, that's not really what I

396
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:26.119
would typically would go to. But once I saw it

397
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.799
and heard it, I was like, dang, I and I

398
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:29.599
and I put them on regularly, you know.

399
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.200
There you go, Yeah, well, last thing, because you guys

400
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:35.799
go tell us about the upcoming tour.

401
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:40.519
We're gonna be around a lot this year we were doing.

402
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:42.799
So we do a secret show once a year typically

403
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:46.200
where we play like a super underplay, like five hundred

404
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:49.000
cap room, no barricade thing, sell tickets at the door, played,

405
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.680
independent venue, you know, bring it back to where we

406
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.799
started kind of, and we're doing a bunch of those shows.

407
00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:57.839
We're gonna do in like ten or fifteen shows like

408
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.759
that this year, which is exciting, but we'll you doing more.

409
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:04.000
It's we've got things that are are un and out still.

410
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.440
So just if you're an Under Oath fan, just keep

411
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.559
your eyes open and we put up something today that

412
00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:14.599
that on that might if you're if you're a diehard fan,

413
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.920
you might. You might understand it if you if you uh,

414
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:19.799
if you go, look, it's probably just a story. So

415
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.400
I think it's just a little bit of a uh

416
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:25.480
an easter egg for what's what's to come. So a

417
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.000
lot of exciting stuff on the horizon.

418
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:28.039
Though. In the Under Oath.

419
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:29.119
World, I love it well.

420
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:32.839
I love that you're always at these festivals and you're

421
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:35.799
just as relevant today as you were when you first started.

422
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:37.720
In my opinion, even more so.

423
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:39.960
We love this, you know, like I said, this is

424
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.079
I'd be in the crowd if I wasn't performing. Maybe

425
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:49.319
not here so hot, but any other way, it's dude.

426
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.519
