1
00:00:05.019 --> 00:00:19.949
Hey, you're listening to Adventure on W4CY Radio. This is

2
00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:23.010
Pipe Man here on the Adventure's Pipe Man W4CY Radio,

3
00:00:23.030 --> 00:00:23.690
and I'm here with.

4
00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:24.329
What's up?

5
00:00:24.429 --> 00:00:28.780
Are we the kings? This is Travis, Coley, Chuck, and Sebastian.

6
00:00:29.550 --> 00:00:31.730
We just played Aftershock Festival. Want to stop by and

7
00:00:31.750 --> 00:00:32.020
say hi?

8
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.479
Oh, my God. Fucking Aftershock. I love this festival. It's great.

9
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.920
What's it been like for you so far? Were you

10
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.590
kind of shocked, pun intended, at the crowd that was

11
00:00:42.770 --> 00:00:46.350
out there? First day, this early, this hot.

12
00:00:46.409 --> 00:00:49.250
First day, you know, we went on at 140 in

13
00:00:49.289 --> 00:00:52.030
the afternoon. And sometimes when you play earlier on the day,

14
00:00:52.070 --> 00:00:54.450
people are kind of conserving their energy, not want to

15
00:00:54.469 --> 00:00:55.840
give it all because they've got to go until like

16
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:56.820
10 or 11, 12 at night.

17
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:58.799
On the first day, you also have the rest of

18
00:00:58.820 --> 00:00:59.299
the weekend.

19
00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:00.039
Man.

20
00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:05.640
It was a sea of people, wall-to-wall, front-to-back. That was special.

21
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:08.459
This is the last show of We the Kings forever. No,

22
00:01:08.810 --> 00:01:09.530
I'm kidding.

23
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.109
Last show of the year for us.

24
00:01:11.409 --> 00:01:14.510
So it was just a great way to cap off

25
00:01:14.590 --> 00:01:15.090
a great year.

26
00:01:15.250 --> 00:01:19.230
I think you should have kept it as forever, and

27
00:01:19.549 --> 00:01:22.590
then all the outlets would pick up the interview.

28
00:01:22.609 --> 00:01:23.069
Oh, yeah.

29
00:01:23.150 --> 00:01:26.280
And it would spread along the internet. You wouldn't have

30
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.439
to bring that. I know, right? Yeah. Oh, man, that

31
00:01:31.459 --> 00:01:32.500
would be funny as shit.

32
00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:33.280
Next one.

33
00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:35.400
I love that you're wearing a Dolly shirt.

34
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:36.980
We're big fans of Dolly over here.

35
00:01:37.659 --> 00:01:38.040
You know?

36
00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:38.359
Yeah.

37
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.680
I don't think there's anybody that isn't a fan of Dolly.

38
00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:45.549
I mean, she's... I learned, you know, a lot more

39
00:01:45.609 --> 00:01:45.939
than I.

40
00:01:46.189 --> 00:01:48.569
I knew a lot about her, but then I just realized, man,

41
00:01:48.609 --> 00:01:51.829
I kind of went down a deep dive into who

42
00:01:51.890 --> 00:01:54.569
she was as a person. And it makes me want

43
00:01:54.590 --> 00:01:56.609
to be a better person seeing what she was able

44
00:01:56.670 --> 00:02:01.469
to do Man, if everybody was like Dolly, it would

45
00:02:01.510 --> 00:02:02.049
be a different world.

46
00:02:02.129 --> 00:02:05.129
Here's what I think was really cool about Dolly is

47
00:02:05.150 --> 00:02:06.689
they wanted to put her in the rock and roll

48
00:02:06.730 --> 00:02:10.610
whole fam and she declined because she's not in rock

49
00:02:10.669 --> 00:02:11.069
and roll.

50
00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:13.349
That makes her so rock and roll.

51
00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:17.240
That's a fucking badass thing to do.

52
00:02:17.699 --> 00:02:18.539
Oh my God.

53
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:23.840
That's amazing. Who else would do that? Exactly, yeah. Jethro

54
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.099
Tull should turn down the Grammy. That's the equivalent.

55
00:02:27.849 --> 00:02:28.610
That's tough to do.

56
00:02:29.069 --> 00:02:29.370
Right?

57
00:02:29.509 --> 00:02:30.729
I got to be honest, that's tough to do.

58
00:02:31.090 --> 00:02:33.969
When we got our Grammy, I just imagine saying no

59
00:02:33.990 --> 00:02:34.770
to that would have been tough.

60
00:02:36.090 --> 00:02:36.389
Yeah.

61
00:02:36.530 --> 00:02:45.689
Yeah. Exactly. Oh, man. But then she covered Stairway to Heaven.

62
00:02:45.939 --> 00:02:46.199
Yeah.

63
00:02:46.219 --> 00:02:49.639
I saw her do a thing. She was having an

64
00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:53.039
interview or something. And she said she was scared as

65
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.580
shit approaching Robert Plant. Hmm.

66
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:01.060
And like Robert Plant's like, yeah, you're Dolly Parton. Go ahead.

67
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.009
Yeah, you're good. Go ahead.

68
00:03:03.849 --> 00:03:06.090
So he would probably say that to you guys too, right?

69
00:03:06.389 --> 00:03:06.889
I think so.

70
00:03:07.229 --> 00:03:07.430
Yeah.

71
00:03:07.689 --> 00:03:09.490
Last time that we met Robert Plant, he did say

72
00:03:09.509 --> 00:03:11.689
that to us as well. So, you know, it feels good.

73
00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:14.060
I think he should actually cover one of your songs.

74
00:03:14.180 --> 00:03:14.639
I like that.

75
00:03:14.659 --> 00:03:17.080
Which song would Robert Plant cover if it were up

76
00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:23.659
to you, Chuck? Are you blanking on all of our.

77
00:03:23.740 --> 00:03:26.400
He doesn't even know your whole catalog. There's a hundred

78
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.180
of them. Alright, Cole.

79
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.400
Cole is going to give you a proper answer.

80
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.500
Yeah, he's really focused on this answer.

81
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.699
I'm picturing Robert Plant's voice and trying to find the

82
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:38.340
song that would.

83
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.500
See? There you go. It's a tough one.

84
00:03:41.370 --> 00:03:44.750
Alright, Seb. I'm blanking on the name, but you know

85
00:03:44.770 --> 00:03:46.090
that song with the rock riff we always.

86
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:55.099
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na. Oh, my God.

87
00:03:56.310 --> 00:03:57.219
Yeah, la.

88
00:03:57.349 --> 00:04:00.990
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na.

89
00:04:01.009 --> 00:04:07.479
Na-na-na, na-na-na. Kiss me now.

90
00:04:07.740 --> 00:04:09.919
This is all I need for the interview right here.

91
00:04:09.939 --> 00:04:12.180
It's called Kiss Me Last. That's the one.

92
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:14.560
Wow. Okay.

93
00:04:14.659 --> 00:04:18.040
Anybody that's listening to this interview, that was a long

94
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:19.959
time that we took to figure that out.

95
00:04:20.100 --> 00:04:20.540
Wait a minute.

96
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.500
I just have to say, we don't even need that

97
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.199
other part we were talking about. This is going to

98
00:04:25.220 --> 00:04:28.560
go viral that you don't even know your own songs.

99
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:30.459
You're not wrong.

100
00:04:30.850 --> 00:04:32.750
You're not wrong. We did a video like that, didn't we?

101
00:04:32.850 --> 00:04:36.129
We had to remember our own lyrics. I think so.

102
00:04:36.170 --> 00:04:36.589
I think so.

103
00:04:37.730 --> 00:04:41.850
So, I have a question about Danny Wimmer. Okay.

104
00:04:41.870 --> 00:04:41.949
Okay.

105
00:04:42.610 --> 00:04:44.709
How does Danny Wimmer treat artists?

106
00:04:45.589 --> 00:04:48.269
I mean, we can't speak for all other artists, but

107
00:04:48.410 --> 00:04:50.910
as from We The Kings, Danny's had us on a

108
00:04:51.050 --> 00:04:55.680
bunch of his festivals, including a couple coming up in

109
00:04:55.699 --> 00:04:56.339
the following year.

110
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.470
You know, we're, we're a rock band, but we're on

111
00:05:00.490 --> 00:05:01.529
the pop side of rock, right?

112
00:05:01.730 --> 00:05:01.990
Right.

113
00:05:02.449 --> 00:05:05.550
Um, sometimes we feel like we maybe don't have a

114
00:05:05.610 --> 00:05:09.089
place here and Danny gave us a chance and was

115
00:05:09.129 --> 00:05:10.970
able to see the crowds and be like, all right, that,

116
00:05:11.310 --> 00:05:14.089
you know, they're making their own lane. It's their own thing. Uh,

117
00:05:14.269 --> 00:05:17.329
I feel super grateful that we're even in the conversation

118
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.360
and able to share the stage with some of these

119
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.069
bands that we've been listening to for a long time. So, uh,

120
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.060
I honestly have nothing bad to say about that guy.

121
00:05:25.110 --> 00:05:28.870
He runs an incredible festival. Fans are always happy. Bands

122
00:05:28.889 --> 00:05:31.930
are happy. I wish all festivals were like that, to

123
00:05:31.949 --> 00:05:32.310
be honest.

124
00:05:32.629 --> 00:05:35.810
I love hearing that. And I've never heard any artists.

125
00:05:35.829 --> 00:05:38.709
I've done all the Wimmer festivals since the beginning. I've

126
00:05:38.750 --> 00:05:40.759
never heard an artist say something bad. And I think

127
00:05:40.779 --> 00:05:41.720
that's so important.

128
00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:43.779
Yeah, because it's a stressful, you know.

129
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:44.459
No doubt.

130
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.620
You very easily could, like, lose your cool, and then

131
00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:49.389
that kind of gets around.

132
00:05:50.149 --> 00:05:54.290
Not only that, but to me, I think, like, if

133
00:05:54.470 --> 00:06:00.639
loading is stressful, if food sucks, if soundcheck is a

134
00:06:00.689 --> 00:06:03.959
pain in the ass, you're not going to be in

135
00:06:04.019 --> 00:06:07.220
the right mode to do your set the way you

136
00:06:07.259 --> 00:06:08.339
would normally do it.

137
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.819
Yeah, that's true. That's true.

138
00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:11.720
Happy artists make happy art.

139
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.680
Yeah, there it is. So that's cool to hear.

140
00:06:15.740 --> 00:06:18.379
I love hearing that because I think it's important to

141
00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:20.839
take care of the artist. And what I always hear, too,

142
00:06:20.899 --> 00:06:23.939
is it doesn't matter who the artist is. Top to bottom,

143
00:06:24.259 --> 00:06:25.360
they're all treated the same.

144
00:06:25.459 --> 00:06:30.160
Yeah, we're one big family. The community that we have

145
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.199
with all the other artists who also flew in or

146
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.560
drove in, we have so much more in common than

147
00:06:35.610 --> 00:06:38.970
we really have. than we even know about. So to

148
00:06:39.009 --> 00:06:41.189
bring us all together, the fans can say the exact

149
00:06:41.230 --> 00:06:43.889
same thing. They have a lot more in common. In

150
00:06:43.930 --> 00:06:45.129
a world that we live in where it can be

151
00:06:45.170 --> 00:06:49.410
very divisive, it's nice to have this family, this organization,

152
00:06:49.430 --> 00:06:52.470
this community brought by people like Danny.

153
00:06:52.689 --> 00:06:53.149
There you go.

154
00:06:53.689 --> 00:06:56.389
I also wanted to ask you why my Jeep is

155
00:06:56.470 --> 00:06:59.439
on your arm. And where it's going, because you have

156
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.839
a whole roadmap there, it's probably better than the GPSs

157
00:07:02.860 --> 00:07:03.300
we use.

158
00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:03.759
Yeah.

159
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.600
So for those listening, I have a Jeep.

160
00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:11.740
Wrangler tattoo on my arm. I bought it for my wife.

161
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:13.839
When I met my wife, I bought her a Jeep

162
00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:15.019
Wrangler because it was her dream car.

163
00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:15.610
Nice.

164
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.329
A very long story. I'll make it short. The city

165
00:07:19.370 --> 00:07:20.949
of Los Angeles stole my car.

166
00:07:21.529 --> 00:07:23.149
It was parked in front of my house, but I

167
00:07:23.170 --> 00:07:25.629
was living six months in Florida, six months in L.A.

168
00:07:25.990 --> 00:07:26.589
In Studio City.

169
00:07:27.250 --> 00:07:29.750
And when I was in Florida, they towed it because

170
00:07:29.850 --> 00:07:34.209
the registration was expired, but it wasn't on a street

171
00:07:34.509 --> 00:07:35.800
cleaning street or anything.

172
00:07:35.819 --> 00:07:37.000
It was legally parked.

173
00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:39.360
By the time that I got back, I saw that

174
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.680
my car was, but it was a Wrangler, so I

175
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.480
just figured somebody stole it. But I went around, checked

176
00:07:44.500 --> 00:07:47.319
some tow yards, found it. And it had been in

177
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.170
there for three and a half months. To get it

178
00:07:51.449 --> 00:07:54.069
out would have been over.

179
00:07:53.250 --> 00:07:55.050
$ 70, 000. Yeah, buy a new Jeep.

180
00:07:55.589 --> 00:07:59.970
I bought it for $ 4, 500. So it wasn't about the money,

181
00:08:00.009 --> 00:08:02.290
just the principle of they stole my car.

182
00:08:02.589 --> 00:08:03.069
Oh, my God.

183
00:08:03.149 --> 00:08:04.810
And then I was like, I'm not going to pay

184
00:08:04.829 --> 00:08:07.860
you that. I could go buy 12 of these Jeeps for.

185
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:08.620
What you want.

186
00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:11.240
And they were like, well, we're going to send it

187
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.180
to collections then. So then they kind of held me

188
00:08:13.220 --> 00:08:18.240
like prisoner. I ended up having to pay them $ 500

189
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:19.740
more than what I bought it for. So I paid

190
00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:22.220
them $ 5, 000 not to send it to collections for them

191
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:23.959
to keep my Jeep.

192
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.870
Wow. Now, that happened in Florida, right? No, this was

193
00:08:28.910 --> 00:08:32.350
in California. In Los Angeles. That doesn't even surprise me. Yeah.

194
00:08:32.529 --> 00:08:34.830
As somebody that lives in Florida now and has lived

195
00:08:34.870 --> 00:08:37.730
in LA, that doesn't even surprise me.

196
00:08:37.769 --> 00:08:37.929
Yep.

197
00:08:38.409 --> 00:08:42.090
I have a grudge against Los Angeles government.

198
00:08:42.889 --> 00:08:45.169
I don't blame you. You know, because I don't think

199
00:08:45.190 --> 00:08:48.750
that would happen in Bradenton. It would not. That car

200
00:08:48.769 --> 00:08:51.049
would be there. I saw that on your route. Right away.

201
00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:56.500
I was like, well, Runyon Canyon's not in Bradenton. No.

202
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.000
I started off life in Florida and then moved out

203
00:08:59.019 --> 00:09:00.120
to California for 10 years.

204
00:09:00.779 --> 00:09:04.509
Now I'm in Tennessee. Now I'm just making a tripod

205
00:09:04.549 --> 00:09:05.450
of homes.

206
00:09:05.470 --> 00:09:06.830
There you go. And so.

207
00:09:08.129 --> 00:09:11.850
How about your tattoos? Is there any bad story like

208
00:09:11.950 --> 00:09:13.460
that on your tattoos?

209
00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:18.360
Yeah, no bad stories. Everything's pretty meaningful. Daughter's sonogram. Daughter

210
00:09:18.379 --> 00:09:21.259
drew it. All my tattoos are drawn by my kids

211
00:09:21.299 --> 00:09:24.000
at the bottom. That's cool as shit. So, nothing bad. Like,

212
00:09:24.179 --> 00:09:26.490
that is the ultimate cool.

213
00:09:26.610 --> 00:09:30.570
Show them the one below the waist. So, for those listening.

214
00:09:31.149 --> 00:09:31.970
It's a little tramp stamp.

215
00:09:32.750 --> 00:09:34.090
But he did it, like, on the front side. It's

216
00:09:34.110 --> 00:09:37.309
really cool. It's like a Chinese word. We're not sure

217
00:09:37.350 --> 00:09:37.809
what it means.

218
00:09:38.090 --> 00:09:38.789
It's a butterfly.

219
00:09:39.009 --> 00:09:39.129
Oh.

220
00:09:39.629 --> 00:09:40.919
It looks like Chinese script.

221
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:41.480
It does.

222
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.240
It's a Chinese butterfly. Yeah, it's a Chinese butterfly. Oh,

223
00:09:44.259 --> 00:09:46.139
I like it. I like it. There we go. We

224
00:09:46.179 --> 00:09:47.860
met in the middle on that one. Nice.

225
00:09:49.980 --> 00:09:53.330
I love you guys, man, because you're like, this is

226
00:09:53.409 --> 00:09:57.639
the vibe that makes good bands live on stage, Cause you're,

227
00:09:57.740 --> 00:10:00.220
you're like the best buds fucking with each other. And

228
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.799
I just want to tell everybody that can't see this.

229
00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:06.000
I appreciate you saying that we, we do. I, yeah,

230
00:10:06.019 --> 00:10:07.470
we fuck around a lot. We also put a lot

231
00:10:07.509 --> 00:10:11.519
of work into our live show. Um, Fans are spending

232
00:10:11.539 --> 00:10:13.220
a ton of money to come out and see bands.

233
00:10:13.899 --> 00:10:15.990
It's also the competitor in us. We want to put

234
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.909
on a great show that outdoes all the other bands.

235
00:10:18.950 --> 00:10:20.409
We love the other bands. We just want to outdo them.

236
00:10:20.429 --> 00:10:22.970
I think that's fair to say. And we want to

237
00:10:22.990 --> 00:10:26.299
give the fans so much more than their money's worth.

238
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:27.820
We want to really make it an experience. And we

239
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.679
also want them to come back when we do come

240
00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:35.080
back through town. There's so many reasons why our energy

241
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.940
backstage translates to what we do on stage.

242
00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:38.940
I think fans can see that.

243
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:40.809
And that's why I say that.

244
00:10:40.870 --> 00:10:44.250
Because you can tell if a band is really not

245
00:10:44.309 --> 00:10:47.509
wanting to be up there together or if they're loving

246
00:10:47.570 --> 00:10:49.440
each other and having plans. It's a much better show

247
00:10:49.460 --> 00:10:52.269
when you're... Fucking with each other, having a good time.

248
00:10:52.289 --> 00:10:52.809
We like each other.

249
00:10:53.190 --> 00:10:53.429
Yeah.

250
00:10:53.649 --> 00:10:54.129
We do like.

251
00:10:54.450 --> 00:10:58.909
Carly, actually, so he just shattered his whole right shoulder

252
00:10:59.250 --> 00:11:01.340
in Japan at a show for the U.S.

253
00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:01.940
Military.

254
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:02.519
Wow.

255
00:11:02.940 --> 00:11:04.720
He's really not supposed to be here today. Kind of

256
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:07.559
against doctor's orders, but that's, you know, the punk rock

257
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.700
in him. And all today, he was, like, jumping around, moving.

258
00:11:11.370 --> 00:11:14.029
And he broke his arm on stage. Like, the stage

259
00:11:14.070 --> 00:11:16.830
was wet. He slipped, fell, all on video crazy.

260
00:11:17.370 --> 00:11:17.570
Got.

261
00:11:18.539 --> 00:11:20.559
Rushed to the hospital and then basically rushed back to

262
00:11:20.580 --> 00:11:25.179
the States for emergency surgery. He came out and just

263
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:29.000
like was moving around. I kept looking at him like, man, stop.

264
00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:31.360
Like the music was taking control.

265
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:33.120
I can't help it.

266
00:11:33.259 --> 00:11:34.799
Like I'm in autopilot at that point.

267
00:11:35.179 --> 00:11:37.889
Nobody could have predicted that he was going to stand

268
00:11:37.909 --> 00:11:38.269
there anyway.

269
00:11:38.309 --> 00:11:41.139
So, I mean, he was just. He's like an energizer,

270
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.240
but he just never stops. It's so good.

271
00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:45.879
So even the fans who shouldn't have gotten Cole Weiss performing,

272
00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:47.480
they got something special today as well.

273
00:11:47.779 --> 00:11:48.240
That's cool.

274
00:11:48.299 --> 00:11:51.850
And, like, I like what you said earlier because.

275
00:11:52.570 --> 00:11:53.990
Stop trying to make me break character.

276
00:11:54.009 --> 00:12:00.669
I love what you said earlier because it's like, there's

277
00:12:00.730 --> 00:12:02.610
bands that go out there and they just play.

278
00:12:02.690 --> 00:12:05.889
I'm like, I could stay home and listen to the album. Yeah.

279
00:12:06.129 --> 00:12:07.669
I come out for a show. I don't care if

280
00:12:07.690 --> 00:12:09.710
you fuck up. That's more fun too.

281
00:12:10.149 --> 00:12:10.509
You know?

282
00:12:10.590 --> 00:12:12.070
And it's funny you say that we, we talk about

283
00:12:12.110 --> 00:12:15.429
that all the time. Genuinely all the time. Like we

284
00:12:15.470 --> 00:12:17.629
obviously want to be good, right? We want the music

285
00:12:17.669 --> 00:12:18.269
to sound good.

286
00:12:18.309 --> 00:12:19.309
We want to play the right notes.

287
00:12:19.730 --> 00:12:21.889
I fuck up.

288
00:12:21.990 --> 00:12:22.419
I love it.

289
00:12:23.169 --> 00:12:25.549
I look forward to it. I've messed up lyrics all

290
00:12:25.570 --> 00:12:25.830
the time.

291
00:12:26.090 --> 00:12:26.309
Right.

292
00:12:26.490 --> 00:12:29.220
Uh, I try not to, obviously, but it happens. I

293
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.250
get in the moment, I start looking at something happening

294
00:12:31.259 --> 00:12:35.490
in the crowd, and I just black out. I also

295
00:12:35.570 --> 00:12:38.289
prefer to go see a show than I do listen

296
00:12:38.309 --> 00:12:38.809
to the record.

297
00:12:38.970 --> 00:12:42.830
Different experiences, right? We want to give them something.

298
00:12:42.889 --> 00:12:45.429
And we've seen bands, and I won't name any, but

299
00:12:45.450 --> 00:12:50.379
we've seen bands be so good at playing their music live,

300
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:55.169
but kind of like watching paint dry. And we were like, man, actually,

301
00:12:55.210 --> 00:12:56.549
I could have stayed home for this.

302
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.799
There's one band that all the media always jokes about.

303
00:13:01.690 --> 00:13:03.450
They're not playing at this festival right now.

304
00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:07.950
But, yeah, it's like they all say it's the most

305
00:13:08.669 --> 00:13:11.909
boring band in the world to watch, but we all

306
00:13:11.990 --> 00:13:12.710
like the band.

307
00:13:12.769 --> 00:13:15.250
Yeah. So it's not like we don't like the band,

308
00:13:15.289 --> 00:13:15.750
but it's like.

309
00:13:15.769 --> 00:13:17.100
There's people there because they like the band.

310
00:13:17.129 --> 00:13:17.419
Yeah, yeah.

311
00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:19.159
You know, maybe you have to tap on the band

312
00:13:19.179 --> 00:13:21.500
to see if they're still alive or something.

313
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:22.759
Autopilot mode.

314
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.960
Right? You know, and maybe their AI up there.

315
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:31.490
Well, all to say that we really like making it different,

316
00:13:31.570 --> 00:13:35.080
making it fun. There's stuff that you can't convey on

317
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:36.940
an album that you can convey live.

318
00:13:38.059 --> 00:13:39.580
And it makes it more fun to us.

319
00:13:40.899 --> 00:13:44.590
I think about one of my greatest memories was the

320
00:13:44.590 --> 00:13:49.169
1983 Us Festival. Van Halen was headlining Heavy Metal Day.

321
00:13:49.889 --> 00:13:53.570
They started playing Talk About Love. And Eddie's looking over

322
00:13:53.629 --> 00:13:55.929
at Dave because he's not singing. And I've told this

323
00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:58.600
story a bunch of times because it is wild.

324
00:13:59.340 --> 00:13:59.980
And he goes.

325
00:14:00.889 --> 00:14:04.730
And he just goes into the mic. No shame. 300,000 people.

326
00:14:05.129 --> 00:14:09.070
I fucking forgot the words. And the whole place roared

327
00:14:09.129 --> 00:14:11.200
like it was the best thing that ever happened. Yeah.

328
00:14:11.460 --> 00:14:14.840
Except one dude who decided to heckle him. And he

329
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:16.899
just turned to him and he goes, I will fuck

330
00:14:16.940 --> 00:14:17.779
your girlfriend.

331
00:14:18.299 --> 00:14:22.559
Now, to me... That's a front man. Like, you fuck up,

332
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.940
you own up to it and make it a funny shit.

333
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.500
You know?

334
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:32.250
That's tough because he's got a microphone, so it's not

335
00:14:32.289 --> 00:14:34.190
like the heckler can talk over 300,000 people.

336
00:14:34.210 --> 00:14:34.309
No.

337
00:14:34.350 --> 00:14:36.649
That's tough to deal with. He's on right there. You're

338
00:14:37.669 --> 00:14:37.919
kind of.

339
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.279
What are you going to say? It's David Lee Roth,

340
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:47.799
his prime probably would. Probably did.

341
00:14:48.019 --> 00:14:49.299
Yeah, the guy's just like, nuh-uh.

342
00:14:49.940 --> 00:14:50.519
Yeah, right?

343
00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:52.039
And the girl's like, uh-huh.

344
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.159
So, what's the worst thing that's ever happened to you

345
00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:57.919
on stage? Oh, man.

346
00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.960
Probably close with a broken arm.

347
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.240
We've all fallen.

348
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:08.220
We've all fallen off stage. And I think that's probably...

349
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.720
I don't.

350
00:15:08.740 --> 00:15:09.659
Know if I can think of anything.

351
00:15:10.389 --> 00:15:12.710
I think that's like, I don't think people realize, that's

352
00:15:12.750 --> 00:15:15.539
like the easiest thing to do. Because you're like in

353
00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:18.299
the zone and you don't really pay attention. Yeah.

354
00:15:18.820 --> 00:15:23.399
There's also flashing lights and every stage is different. A

355
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.279
lot of it has been like trying to step out

356
00:15:25.580 --> 00:15:29.039
onto like a subwoofer and there's like a triangle hole.

357
00:15:29.779 --> 00:15:31.509
And yeah, that was mine.

358
00:15:32.470 --> 00:15:34.450
Charles, you were going off the side of the stage

359
00:15:34.830 --> 00:15:40.529
where the staircase and... And he went, we missed him.

360
00:15:40.549 --> 00:15:41.409
He was gone.

361
00:15:41.429 --> 00:15:44.480
I was gone for a while. I will say, being

362
00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:46.379
in a band with this one, there was one show

363
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:47.480
where I didn't see it coming.

364
00:15:47.539 --> 00:15:49.159
I just saw him go behind me, and then I

365
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.279
felt something hit my head, and it was his head

366
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:51.879
hitting my head.

367
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.200
Oh, my God. How did you do that? I went

368
00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:56.019
behind him and headbatted him. Oh, nice.

369
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:56.639
Yeah, yeah.

370
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.340
Oh, on purpose, too. That's even better. It was a

371
00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:00.639
good time.

372
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:03.159
You got to keep us on our toes.

373
00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:06.350
So we have Body Count playing at Aftershock, and I

374
00:16:06.429 --> 00:16:10.440
saw Vincent Price, the guitarist of Body Count, Jump off

375
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:11.080
the stage.

376
00:16:11.139 --> 00:16:13.899
It was a pretty high stage. I think it was

377
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.620
one of the Wimmer festivals.

378
00:16:16.309 --> 00:16:20.750
Broke his leg and was still playing on the ground

379
00:16:20.769 --> 00:16:22.889
until the meds came and got him a chair and

380
00:16:22.909 --> 00:16:23.549
put him on a chair.

381
00:16:23.789 --> 00:16:26.669
Played the rest of the set. That felt like Coley.

382
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:29.980
Coley fell and then he got back up. He was

383
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.120
still playing on the ground. Granted, it's his right shoulder.

384
00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:36.429
He's a right-handed guitarist. So he's still playing. And his

385
00:16:36.929 --> 00:16:40.070
every tendon and ligament, everything holding that bone together is gone,

386
00:16:40.110 --> 00:16:42.710
just shredded. So it was popping up through his skin.

387
00:16:44.049 --> 00:16:47.899
He gets up and continues to play guitar and playing piano.

388
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.480
And I'm looking over like, hey, like trying to like telepathy,

389
00:16:51.539 --> 00:16:54.610
telepathically say like hey should we stop what do you

390
00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:56.970
want to do and he was like just shaking his

391
00:16:56.990 --> 00:16:59.830
head like keep going he's playing he turns like a

392
00:16:59.870 --> 00:17:03.029
shade of white I've never seen and I was like

393
00:17:03.610 --> 00:17:05.410
I think we need to get him like some medical

394
00:17:05.450 --> 00:17:08.390
help I look forward I'm like okay I'm gonna say

395
00:17:08.430 --> 00:17:11.359

396
00:17:11.390 --> 00:17:15.349
