Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey guys, it's Kevin Powell. I lost track of how
many interviews I've had today, but man, this is a
lot of fun. At least one hundred, maybe two hundred.
But I'm here with the Almighty Saves.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
How you guys doing We are the best, doing great?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Why don't you guys introduce yourselves? What do you guys
do in the band?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm Chris. I played bass regrettably Humbo I played guitar.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
You guys have been around a while. It's twenty twenty four.
What's going on with SAOs In in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Well, we to your point. Last year we celebrated one year. No,
I'm sorry, we just celebrated one year of twenty years.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
So last year we celebrated twenty years. And we're in.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
A new version, similar version, but a new version we
call four point zero, which is we were member Fluid,
a lot of members in our band, and particularly singers,
and we got our second singer back, okay, and that's exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So we're writing new.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Music, reliving some of the songs that we wrote almost
twenty years ago, nineteen years ago actually today. Nineteen years
ago our self titled record came out okay with a
big beetle on the front where a lot of.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
People recognize you guys from But you guys are at
louder in life. This year Jewelry Player about to play.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Playing at seven pm to nine on on Thursday the first.
It would be the only rain free set.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yes, I was gonna say, man, the weather that's coming
for the weekend, good.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Buttons for everybody else that's playing. I only care about
slipknot brutus in our set.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Absolutely when it comes to playing these older songs, what's
it mean to you guys, what's it mean to look
out on stage and see these guys still singing these
songs back to you?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Well, I'll be brief and then bo can talk.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
But I think for for me personally, I think, you know,
we had not internally but like the process to which
we wrote the record, recorded the record, supported the record,
it was a little bit tumultuous for us, meaning like
we had a lot of label issues. We know, we
didn't make any money, We toured a lot, and we
(02:00):
didn't necessarily understand that it was a good thing.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
And then fast forward, you know, we didn't get to
play the songs from like for almost.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
About actually ten years almost to the date. We didn't
play any of.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Those songs really, so we kind of just like didn't
understand that they meant anything to us, and so for
us to kind of relearn them and figure out and
remember them, it was like a kind of a striking
moment at least for me, where I was like, oh wow,
I was part of this thing.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I helped write these songs, and they're actually kind of
kick ass. So what does BO have to think? Man,
if that was brief, I'm gonna have.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
A tough time be a long.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
No.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I think that it's it's hard to explain, you know,
because I think whenever you create something.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
You you know, you.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
There's some I think as as a musician or maybe
like an artist or any anyone, right, Like, so whatever
it is, if you create something, there's something in you
that says, like, Okay, well, if I'm gonna put this
out into the world, you have to believe in it,
oh yeah a little bit, right, Like at the very
least you have to think this doesn't suck.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Right.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
So at the time, I felt like, I think these
are pretty good, you know. And then obviously the record
had a lot of success. The band had success, not
as much as let's say, like you know, we were
never a slip knot level type of thing, but pretty
successful in what we accomplished. And then after not being
able to play those songs for quite a while and
(03:29):
kind of almost forgetting about them, you know, because as
you kind of if you don't play something, if it's
not in your set all the time, you have it
at least. And for me too, I have the memory
of a goldfish Chris can attest and I forgetting it's
called low ram, very low ram among five megs. So
so yeah, like forgetting the songs, you know, and then
being able to come back and play them and celebrate
(03:51):
some of the older songs.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
It's like, man, people really dig these songs.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And like we.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Were just in we just did a big headliner in
Asia and like looking out at some of the crowd
that we were playing, you're not alone. And it was
the first time Phil, our guitarist, had experienced something like that,
and we were just looking out at the crowd and
there was like, you know, the first two thousand people
in the front were just like crying, you know, and
(04:17):
and we're looking at each other and we were just
like I think I'm but yes, I mean I wasn't there,
but we but it was like super emotional and impactful.
And because you get people telling you how much you
know certain songs or albums like connect with people and
resonate with them. But sometimes you don't necessarily believe it,
(04:37):
or you think maybe it's a fluke, you know, or
it's a strange thing. But then when you see a
whole crowd of people reacting a certain way, then it's
a little bit more powerful.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I guess. I think. So I've run into this where
you're looking out and people were either songs back at
you or they're like really loving it. You're like, wait,
you like our music that we made?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I thought only I like this? Yeah, And then the
term deep cuts comes up. People were like, oh man,
I love that deep cut you've played. It's like, it's
not a deep cut to me. I had fun writing
that song, but yeah, because you guys aren't playing it
every single set or you know, maybe you'll bring it
out for the twentieth year or whatever. Yeah, it is
a deep cut for those fans. But you mentioned four
(05:19):
point Oh what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Oh yeah, well I kind of coined the term for me.
It's it's we have a couple new considerations. Obviously we've
matured as people.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Oh yeah, that's a big, big thing, right, So we've
we've broadened our horizons. We've healed some of the wounds
that we've caused on each other and the circumstances caused
on us. We also have a new member.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
He's not new, he's been in the band for eight years,
nine years now, but he is contributing music. And then,
you know, we just so we call it four point
zero because it's like the pressure of being the band
is low.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We're just having fun.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Okay, yep, we're playing.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Better than we ever played, which I think comes with
age one of the perks. And then and we're just
invigorated to write new and try new things, and we've
had more time to experience it. When we wrote the record,
were just kind of like more or less scrapping together
stuff that we thought was awesome and then fighting over
(06:22):
like the validity of the awesomeness.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Are we talking about the new one coming up with
new music or.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
When we wrote that original Beatle record. I wasn't involved
with Bo wrote transiting the name.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I wasn't there. So when I came into the band,
I was also a songwriter, and so him and I
never butted heads per se, but it was always like, Okay,
how awesome is your thing versus how awesome is my thing?
And who's got the most awesome thing?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
So now it's more of like a collective of we
know that we're somewhat I'm not trying to be boastful,
but where we know that we're somewhat ca the boll
of making something that we think is actually rad and
that might translate to other people as rat and so
I think that to us the forepoint, oh is more
of a security blanket and knowing that, like, all we
(07:14):
got to do is do it and it'll probably be
pretty good. I think that's that's our version.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Of four point zero.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So we'll ban fans from self titled era. Enjoy this
new music. Oh yeah, well people have never heard of
you before. Enjoy this new music. Yes, excellent.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, So, but I think it's also a little bit
more like we have We have Phil from as Lay Dying.
He's writing music is oken right, also played nails for
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Phil as a musician. Phil is way better than we are, right,
I write, I can't.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm not that good of a guitar player. I can.
I write riffs with I write with rifts with my mouth.
So now we kind of have this like machine almost
where we can be like, hey, here's my dumb idea.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
And then he can listen to it, play it, so
on and so forth, but then enhance it. Right, and
bo is bo is like a ritualistic rift player. I
call it like a cyclical rift player, Like we find
rifts that are fun to continually play, and Bo's really
good at that, whereas Phil is just like, this is
how it goes, and then the next time around, this
(08:22):
is how it goes, and then the next time around
there's a stop, and then it goes like this too.
He's a machine, yeah, and we're actually both of our
both of our supercomputers.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Literally. Atari's okay. It's like the when the Nintendo games
started scrambling at the blow in it. Yeah, that's like
our brains when the when a couple of the riffs
come up and we're just like what what. So that's
been exciting for us just to be able to kind
of learn a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Of a new language so old fans are gonna love it.
You fans are gonna love it. Yeah, you guys love it.
I'm guessing yes, Okay, good twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five,
when we start hearing some new stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I would if I could.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I I don't think By twenty twenty four we got
a lot of Yeah, it's hard to say.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Too much going on.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's just hot.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
It's tricky because we've only really been version four point
zero since, like not, I mean, we kind of awkwardly
did an Asian tour with Cove, not awkwardly in a
bad way, but just like it was. It was a
little bit like, hey, do you want to go do
this Asian tour? And he was like sure, what does
that mean? What are we doing type thing?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You know? Okay, And it was great. We had a
great time.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
We all get along great, which is the best part.
And I think we've just been nurturing the ability.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
To get along. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And so our hope and goal is twenty twenty five
is going to be a bunch of new music, hopefully
a new record and supporting thereof yeah, and hopefully we'll
get a gauge on like you know, do people like
new music.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Nobody even knows who knows.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I love new music me too. It doesn't matter who
it is, as long as it's new. We have like
old music too. What's the new music that you've just
nails album?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Love that new has a la dying album coming in out?
Really excited for one of my buddies, bos probably heard
it the most. Yeah, yeah, test mixes. One of my buddies, Aaron.
He helped the mixes for that. Okay, Aaron chap Urton
or something. Anyway, he's really good. What else is coming
out this year?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Chris Clancy mixed it, right?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I know Aaron he said he mixed. I don't know
who mastered it.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
But Chris Plancy is Tom Clancy's son, Tom Clancy being
not limited to but one of the most prolific suspense writers.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, action suspense writers ever. Speaking of suspense, I'm waiting
for any new Slipknot song. I want to hear you
want to Hey, can I want a song?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Okay, I gotta confess something. I was on the slip
Knot self titled street team in.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Nineteen ninety nine. They sent me cassette tapes to hand
out and it had a surfacing on it and weight Bleed.
I think it was two songs yep, and I made
my own jumpsuits read We started with marker and stuff
and then we moved to embroidery and it was My
jumpsuit was so good that they there was a tour.
(11:09):
Slipknot opened for a Machine Headed seven. Dusty n had
a great tour. One another band opened. I don't remember
who it was. I don't think they were that good. Anyways,
Slipnot played, Slipnot comes off stage and people start coming
up to me because they think I just got off stage.
So then we just walked backstage in our jumpsuits.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And we go hang out and slipt on dudes and
we're just like, yeah, just smap back here because they
thought we were in the band, and they were like,
that is the coolest thing ever. Signed it all original
members signed my back.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I have the jumpsuit.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Do you have pictures around that time? Yeah, of you
in that jumpsuit. Oh yeah, we'll talk later. I'm gonna
need those pictures for this video. It's gonna be fun amazing.
So are you guys up to day with now? This
is just a Slipnot fun time? Are you guys up
to day with the hidden album that they keep saying
it's gonna come out out with are they keep pushing
it back? It's been like ten years. Take a look,
(12:03):
look out the window something like that.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I've heard about it, but there's okay, I'm not I okay.
We want Eloy, yes, okay, we want him recorded, we
want him less Sepulta okay, yes, unfortunately, we want Eloy
on slip Knock.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Absolutely, we want him.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
If you don't want Grayson, I would love to see
Grayson on a record with Sepultura too.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I would like to see Igor Cavalier on a Sepultur
where that's a different, no offense to any of the beautiful.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Drummers out there. But get your shit together, okay, if
it wastes can do it.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Max, Okay, Igor, Max and Andreas, I don't know any
words in Brazilian Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Suck it up. Suck it up.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So we're an interesting point. I really hope that I
have a chance to ask mass this Max this one
day because soon because Suppletura is disbanding, that they're retiring.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
That's it, Yeah, they're done.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Max could have an opportunity to reconcile, everything, get together,
maybe like one last show, and or he could take
back the sepult A name. He could buy that back
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
That hierarchy is.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, I don't know how that works.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Andreas owns it, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So if Sepultura comes back, Max, Igor Andreas, whoever they
want on bass, are we in support of this or no?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
So there's a band called the nineteen seventy five, the
nineteen seventy and he said something on a radio show
about Oasis and he basically said, figure it out. Okay,
nobody nobody's going to a Cavaliera Projects show, being like I,
I don't need a Sepulta show. This is good enough.
(13:45):
Nobody's nobody's doing it, Okay, suck it up, give it
a year, whatever. Call it Sepultura, you play a rise,
you play ksad, play roots, figure.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It out, call it Sepultura. Everybody will care positively, nobody
will care negatively. Yep.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Absolutely. I don't know how involved you are with the
whole cavalier a thing, cavalier conspiracy, soulfly nail ball on
this that Max just announced his big I don't think
it's a residency. But it's like his show with Damn
near every band he's been in. Soul Fly's headlining, nail
Baum's coming back. I think Cavalier is on there. Yeah,
(14:24):
one of the bands that he's not fronting, but he
plays guitar ends on this. It's every band ever. I'm
sure they're all playing a Sepultera song.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, we're just waiting for it's what do people want,
maybe for the real roots to come out, and it
sound like it should. And the guys that are playing
from Cleveland bless your heart, Okay, you held it together?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Okay. I saw Sepulta okay with Max in it.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
What would be nineteen ninety six, yeah, eight eight or
between those two years.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yep, I don't remember when pre Sulfly. I did see
soul Fly too as well.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I saw them at incarceration this year.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
There we are right and I saw them. This was
out probably oz Fest ninety nine, prime time.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, this is peak. Yeah, that's when they did this
song with Chino. I'm a new metal at heart. Yeah,
I'm a new metal at heart.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I wouldn't even categorize the new metal anymore.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Yeah, but like when it was popping off you were
you were into new metal, like the fact that we
were on this the Slip.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Knot Street Team on the.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
New metal spectrum for sure. Absolutely, yeah, but like I'm
not thinking about.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Corn Corn that got me in the seventh string. I
gotta give them that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
No, I love the first two Corn records. They're great.
First two Corn records amazing still to this day.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
All right, so welcome back to the New Metal Podcast
where we just talk about nothing but a new metal
from the nineties, going into what we want in the future.
Got the guys in saus in here. I don't know
how we got so far off, but that's okay, we're
having fun.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I would say we have we got so far on
because you come out to this and this fest is
pretty new metal.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, absolutely, it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
A lot of modern bands that are on the new
metals background.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Now Sick New World that was pretty new metal and
compared to.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
What yes, but also the counter in the Sick New
World was there's like a lot of weird band like sisters, immersing.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Bands like that, played golf bands.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
But yeah, I I know my I have a lot
of I'm a big I'm a big new metal guy,
but I'm also there's a lot of new metal bands
that I'm glad they're not here anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So let's get back to you guys individually. Top three
bands and one.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Okay, now where you can go I know my three,
but you can go top three bands or top three
new middle bands.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Top three bands. Well Oasis okay for one, they're back, Yeah,
and not just because they're coming back. I've been been
a pretty outspoken Oasis fan for quite a while, and
it's now it's going to become trendy again, so I'm
not I'm not super excited about that. Next would be
or maybe these are all tied for first place, Jimmy World.
They kind of like were one of my gateway into
(16:57):
kind of like more underground emo band and then I
would say in Flames, oh, it would be another tide
for first.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
And then if I could, I.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Would say a close fourth place would be pretty much
any of like the kind of like you know Gothenburg
scene death metal bands, you know, like all.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
The books and all this stuff, so yeah, so pretty yeah.
I mean, if you listen to a lot of.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
The salts and stuff, you'll definitely hear a lot of
old in Flames type.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I was gonna say this is kind of tying into
your influences a little bit. Yeah, everybody's gonna have their
own different influences. But if you guys have your top
favorite bands and what do you know, it kind of
crypt its way in.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, look at that.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Absolutely definitely our influences align with our predispositions of writing.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I actually don't listen to a lot of riffy bands.
Do you want? Death Towns are my number one? How's
the Battery?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
We're good?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Death Towns are my number one?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Which album?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
The first five good? Yeah? Literally, the first five records
are all good to go.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
One MIT's for six, I like Diamondo's.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I like Yeah for six.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I even I like first seven, coin Ocan still Flying
Homes didn't need it, but that's okay seven one for seven,
come on, come on. Number two favorite band probably be
a band called Mono. They're from Japan, Okay, they are
a post rock band, and I have just never not
(18:26):
listened to Mono for the last twenty.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Years on part with Cigareroes. But Mono more more of
my speed. And then the third one might be tricky
for me. I don't really know. Yes, I know there,
but I wouldn't put it top three only the first record. Yep,
I'm not IOWF not not for me.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I was gonna sayise Sky and it was gonna be
one of those yeah yeah yeah yeah. And then maybe
like like like a singer.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Song, probably Ryan Adams. Okay, Ryan Adams just did.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
A COEOC song, Corrosion of Conformity.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Ah, there we go, so I get twisted.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
He just did a cover okay, and it's amazing, amazing song.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I also asked that question because maybe you told me
about a band and I'm like who, and then I
look him up later and no, I love him so sweet,
big Ryan Adams fan. Any advice you guys would give
to a band just starting out? Would rather be first year,
second year? Maybe they're trying to no longer be a
local band. I asked this question every band I'll talk.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
To no longer be a local band. Well, it's our
advice is not good because we don't.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
We're not in the new climate. So compassion to all
emerging musicians. With that said, don't be afraid of It's
okay to be heavily influenced by music.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That doesn't mean you have to rip it off.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
But every band that you've ever heard has been heavily
influenced by other bands, and they use that as a
tool to mutate into what becomes their sound and not
necessarily focus on being them so much as what is like,
why do I like them so much? And how do
I capture that thing that I liked so much? And
(20:11):
I think that is what builds your availability of authenticity,
and I think authenticity still stands true in the long
run for bands and so and also just taking the
time perhaps to be available for opportunity is paramount and
(20:33):
meeting people. Meeting people and getting to know the bass
player from this band or the sound guy from this band,
and then all of a sudden your buddies with him
and he jumps ship and goes to some other band
and he's like, oh, I gotta we.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Need an opener. Okay, cool who And it's like, all
of a sudden, you're gonna get on a tour.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
People don't realize how quick that can happen too.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, it's all honestly, it's all. If nine of the
battle of tour with other bands is like do I.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Want to tour with this band or not, especially if
you're in a position to pick like it, are those
guys cool? Sure, let's bring them and and that's that
can be the make or break for a lot of
a lot of bands. Literally just get your foot in
the door, and as soon as your foot's in the door,
you can be in the walk.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Very well.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
To add about for you, yeah, I mean I feel
like now currently the obvious is advice, right, at least
from a younger band. Maybe if a younger person than
I might suggest do all the social media stuff, right.
I don't personally resonate with that as much, which is
because we come from a slightly older time. But to
piggyback off what Chris said, as I would say, focus
(21:42):
on and I guess maybe this is coming from like
the producer side of me that receives a lot of music.
Figure out what it is about your band that makes
you unique rather than what makes you.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
More like another band, You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Because I think that, Like, think about whenever the times
that you've discovered a new right, it's always been like, well,
they're kind of like this band, except they have this
really cool thing that makes them different. Right. It's never
been a thing where it's like, oh, I like this
band because they sound exactly like the other band, you know.
So yeah, focus on whatever it is that makes you
(22:16):
guys unique, and don't be afraid to lean into that.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
And it might it might be you might be pressured.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Into doing whatever the current fad is at the moment.
But I think in the long run, I mean, look
at slip Knock, you know what I mean? Here they
are what thirty years later or whatever, twenty five, yeah,
but still infinitely later. And I'm sure at a certain
point they were probably pressured to like remove half the
guys and just get a keyboard player, you know what
(22:45):
I mean, Yeah, at some point in their career. But
they stuck with it, and I think that that's what
makes them cool, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
They stuck to their their beliefs.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Very well said from both of you. Any final words,
any final things you want to say, fans, I.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Would give a personal just thank you to everyone for
supporting our band for this long.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
We didn't think that we would ever be around this
long and the fact that we.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Have the opportunity to still do music is pretty like
insane to us, you know, and we still personally, I
still enjoy it like so much and tune almost an
embarrassingly an embarrassing level where you'll see me on Saine
cheesing the whole time and I constantly get made fun
of it for it, but it's it's truly an amazing
(23:26):
feeling to still be able to play music and do
what you love.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Maggot for life, Maggot for life.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Gentlemen, I do appreciate a little bit of your time.
Thanks for hanging out. Have you have a great set later.
Can't wait to hear the new music. Fan of the
old music, but you know, I'm excited to hear what
the new music is gonna be. These guys just say
this in check them out. They're having a lot of fun.
I got new music in the work, so be sure
to check them out when that happens. Thanks for checking
this out, See you guys next time.
Hey guys, it's Kevin Powell. I lost track of how
many interviews I've had today, but man, this is a
lot of fun. At least one hundred, maybe two hundred.
But I'm here with the Almighty Saves.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
How you guys doing We are the best, doing great?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Why don't you guys introduce yourselves? What do you guys
do in the band?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm Chris. I played bass regrettably Humbo I played guitar.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
You guys have been around a while. It's twenty twenty four.
What's going on with SAOs In in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Well, we to your point. Last year we celebrated one year. No,
I'm sorry, we just celebrated one year of twenty years.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
So last year we celebrated twenty years. And we're in.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
A new version, similar version, but a new version we
call four point zero, which is we were member Fluid,
a lot of members in our band, and particularly singers,
and we got our second singer back, okay, and that's exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So we're writing new.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Music, reliving some of the songs that we wrote almost
twenty years ago, nineteen years ago actually today. Nineteen years
ago our self titled record came out okay with a
big beetle on the front where a lot of.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
People recognize you guys from But you guys are at
louder in life. This year Jewelry Player about to play.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Playing at seven pm to nine on on Thursday the first.
It would be the only rain free set.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yes, I was gonna say, man, the weather that's coming
for the weekend, good.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Buttons for everybody else that's playing. I only care about
slipknot brutus in our set.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Absolutely when it comes to playing these older songs, what's
it mean to you guys, what's it mean to look
out on stage and see these guys still singing these
songs back to you?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Well, I'll be brief and then bo can talk.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
But I think for for me personally, I think, you know,
we had not internally but like the process to which
we wrote the record, recorded the record, supported the record,
it was a little bit tumultuous for us, meaning like
we had a lot of label issues. We know, we
didn't make any money, We toured a lot, and we
(02:00):
didn't necessarily understand that it was a good thing.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
And then fast forward, you know, we didn't get to
play the songs from like for almost.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
About actually ten years almost to the date. We didn't
play any of.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Those songs really, so we kind of just like didn't
understand that they meant anything to us, and so for
us to kind of relearn them and figure out and
remember them, it was like a kind of a striking
moment at least for me, where I was like, oh wow,
I was part of this thing.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I helped write these songs, and they're actually kind of
kick ass. So what does BO have to think? Man,
if that was brief, I'm gonna have.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
A tough time be a long.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
No.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I think that it's it's hard to explain, you know,
because I think whenever you create something.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
You you know, you.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
There's some I think as as a musician or maybe
like an artist or any anyone, right, Like, so whatever
it is, if you create something, there's something in you
that says, like, Okay, well, if I'm gonna put this
out into the world, you have to believe in it,
oh yeah a little bit, right, Like at the very
least you have to think this doesn't suck.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Right.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
So at the time, I felt like, I think these
are pretty good, you know. And then obviously the record
had a lot of success. The band had success, not
as much as let's say, like you know, we were
never a slip knot level type of thing, but pretty
successful in what we accomplished. And then after not being
able to play those songs for quite a while and
(03:29):
kind of almost forgetting about them, you know, because as
you kind of if you don't play something, if it's
not in your set all the time, you have it
at least. And for me too, I have the memory
of a goldfish Chris can attest and I forgetting it's
called low ram, very low ram among five megs. So
so yeah, like forgetting the songs, you know, and then
being able to come back and play them and celebrate
(03:51):
some of the older songs.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
It's like, man, people really dig these songs.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And like we.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Were just in we just did a big headliner in
Asia and like looking out at some of the crowd
that we were playing, you're not alone. And it was
the first time Phil, our guitarist, had experienced something like that,
and we were just looking out at the crowd and
there was like, you know, the first two thousand people
in the front were just like crying, you know, and
(04:17):
and we're looking at each other and we were just
like I think I'm but yes, I mean I wasn't there,
but we but it was like super emotional and impactful.
And because you get people telling you how much you
know certain songs or albums like connect with people and
resonate with them. But sometimes you don't necessarily believe it,
(04:37):
or you think maybe it's a fluke, you know, or
it's a strange thing. But then when you see a
whole crowd of people reacting a certain way, then it's
a little bit more powerful.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I guess. I think. So I've run into this where
you're looking out and people were either songs back at
you or they're like really loving it. You're like, wait,
you like our music that we made?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I thought only I like this? Yeah, And then the
term deep cuts comes up. People were like, oh man,
I love that deep cut you've played. It's like, it's
not a deep cut to me. I had fun writing
that song, but yeah, because you guys aren't playing it
every single set or you know, maybe you'll bring it
out for the twentieth year or whatever. Yeah, it is
a deep cut for those fans. But you mentioned four
(05:19):
point Oh what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Oh yeah, well I kind of coined the term for me.
It's it's we have a couple new considerations. Obviously we've
matured as people.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Oh yeah, that's a big, big thing, right, So we've
we've broadened our horizons. We've healed some of the wounds
that we've caused on each other and the circumstances caused
on us. We also have a new member.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
He's not new, he's been in the band for eight years,
nine years now, but he is contributing music. And then,
you know, we just so we call it four point
zero because it's like the pressure of being the band
is low.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We're just having fun.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Okay, yep, we're playing.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Better than we ever played, which I think comes with
age one of the perks. And then and we're just
invigorated to write new and try new things, and we've
had more time to experience it. When we wrote the record,
were just kind of like more or less scrapping together
stuff that we thought was awesome and then fighting over
(06:22):
like the validity of the awesomeness.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Are we talking about the new one coming up with
new music or.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
When we wrote that original Beatle record. I wasn't involved
with Bo wrote transiting the name.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I wasn't there. So when I came into the band,
I was also a songwriter, and so him and I
never butted heads per se, but it was always like, Okay,
how awesome is your thing versus how awesome is my thing?
And who's got the most awesome thing?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
So now it's more of like a collective of we
know that we're somewhat I'm not trying to be boastful,
but where we know that we're somewhat ca the boll
of making something that we think is actually rad and
that might translate to other people as rat and so
I think that to us the forepoint, oh is more
of a security blanket and knowing that, like, all we
(07:14):
got to do is do it and it'll probably be
pretty good. I think that's that's our version.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Of four point zero.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So we'll ban fans from self titled era. Enjoy this
new music. Oh yeah, well people have never heard of
you before. Enjoy this new music. Yes, excellent.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, So, but I think it's also a little bit
more like we have We have Phil from as Lay Dying.
He's writing music is oken right, also played nails for
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Phil as a musician. Phil is way better than we are, right,
I write, I can't.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm not that good of a guitar player. I can.
I write riffs with I write with rifts with my mouth.
So now we kind of have this like machine almost
where we can be like, hey, here's my dumb idea.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
And then he can listen to it, play it, so
on and so forth, but then enhance it. Right, and
bo is bo is like a ritualistic rift player. I
call it like a cyclical rift player, Like we find
rifts that are fun to continually play, and Bo's really
good at that, whereas Phil is just like, this is
how it goes, and then the next time around, this
(08:22):
is how it goes, and then the next time around
there's a stop, and then it goes like this too.
He's a machine, yeah, and we're actually both of our
both of our supercomputers.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Literally. Atari's okay. It's like the when the Nintendo games
started scrambling at the blow in it. Yeah, that's like
our brains when the when a couple of the riffs
come up and we're just like what what. So that's
been exciting for us just to be able to kind
of learn a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Of a new language so old fans are gonna love it.
You fans are gonna love it. Yeah, you guys love it.
I'm guessing yes, Okay, good twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five,
when we start hearing some new stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I would if I could.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I I don't think By twenty twenty four we got
a lot of Yeah, it's hard to say.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Too much going on.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's just hot.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
It's tricky because we've only really been version four point
zero since, like not, I mean, we kind of awkwardly
did an Asian tour with Cove, not awkwardly in a
bad way, but just like it was. It was a
little bit like, hey, do you want to go do
this Asian tour? And he was like sure, what does
that mean? What are we doing type thing?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You know? Okay, And it was great. We had a
great time.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
We all get along great, which is the best part.
And I think we've just been nurturing the ability.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
To get along. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And so our hope and goal is twenty twenty five
is going to be a bunch of new music, hopefully
a new record and supporting thereof yeah, and hopefully we'll
get a gauge on like you know, do people like
new music.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Nobody even knows who knows.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I love new music me too. It doesn't matter who
it is, as long as it's new. We have like
old music too. What's the new music that you've just
nails album?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Love that new has a la dying album coming in out?
Really excited for one of my buddies, bos probably heard
it the most. Yeah, yeah, test mixes. One of my buddies, Aaron.
He helped the mixes for that. Okay, Aaron chap Urton
or something. Anyway, he's really good. What else is coming
out this year?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Chris Clancy mixed it, right?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I know Aaron he said he mixed. I don't know
who mastered it.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
But Chris Plancy is Tom Clancy's son, Tom Clancy being
not limited to but one of the most prolific suspense writers.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, action suspense writers ever. Speaking of suspense, I'm waiting
for any new Slipknot song. I want to hear you
want to Hey, can I want a song?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Okay, I gotta confess something. I was on the slip
Knot self titled street team in.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Nineteen ninety nine. They sent me cassette tapes to hand
out and it had a surfacing on it and weight Bleed.
I think it was two songs yep, and I made
my own jumpsuits read We started with marker and stuff
and then we moved to embroidery and it was My
jumpsuit was so good that they there was a tour.
(11:09):
Slipknot opened for a Machine Headed seven. Dusty n had
a great tour. One another band opened. I don't remember
who it was. I don't think they were that good. Anyways,
Slipnot played, Slipnot comes off stage and people start coming
up to me because they think I just got off stage.
So then we just walked backstage in our jumpsuits.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And we go hang out and slipt on dudes and
we're just like, yeah, just smap back here because they
thought we were in the band, and they were like,
that is the coolest thing ever. Signed it all original
members signed my back.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I have the jumpsuit.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Do you have pictures around that time? Yeah, of you
in that jumpsuit. Oh yeah, we'll talk later. I'm gonna
need those pictures for this video. It's gonna be fun amazing.
So are you guys up to day with now? This
is just a Slipnot fun time? Are you guys up
to day with the hidden album that they keep saying
it's gonna come out out with are they keep pushing
it back? It's been like ten years. Take a look,
(12:03):
look out the window something like that.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I've heard about it, but there's okay, I'm not I okay.
We want Eloy, yes, okay, we want him recorded, we
want him less Sepulta okay, yes, unfortunately, we want Eloy
on slip Knock.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Absolutely, we want him.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
If you don't want Grayson, I would love to see
Grayson on a record with Sepultura too.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I would like to see Igor Cavalier on a Sepultur
where that's a different, no offense to any of the beautiful.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Drummers out there. But get your shit together, okay, if
it wastes can do it.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Max, Okay, Igor, Max and Andreas, I don't know any
words in Brazilian Okay, but.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Suck it up. Suck it up.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So we're an interesting point. I really hope that I
have a chance to ask mass this Max this one
day because soon because Suppletura is disbanding, that they're retiring.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
That's it, Yeah, they're done.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Max could have an opportunity to reconcile, everything, get together,
maybe like one last show, and or he could take
back the sepult A name. He could buy that back
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
That hierarchy is.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, I don't know how that works.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Andreas owns it, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So if Sepultura comes back, Max, Igor Andreas, whoever they
want on bass, are we in support of this or no?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
So there's a band called the nineteen seventy five, the
nineteen seventy and he said something on a radio show
about Oasis and he basically said, figure it out. Okay,
nobody nobody's going to a Cavaliera Projects show, being like I,
I don't need a Sepulta show. This is good enough.
(13:45):
Nobody's nobody's doing it, Okay, suck it up, give it
a year, whatever. Call it Sepultura, you play a rise,
you play ksad, play roots, figure.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It out, call it Sepultura. Everybody will care positively, nobody
will care negatively. Yep.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Absolutely. I don't know how involved you are with the
whole cavalier a thing, cavalier conspiracy, soulfly nail ball on
this that Max just announced his big I don't think
it's a residency. But it's like his show with Damn
near every band he's been in. Soul Fly's headlining, nail
Baum's coming back. I think Cavalier is on there. Yeah,
(14:24):
one of the bands that he's not fronting, but he
plays guitar ends on this. It's every band ever. I'm
sure they're all playing a Sepultera song.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, we're just waiting for it's what do people want,
maybe for the real roots to come out, and it
sound like it should. And the guys that are playing
from Cleveland bless your heart, Okay, you held it together?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Okay. I saw Sepulta okay with Max in it.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
What would be nineteen ninety six, yeah, eight eight or
between those two years.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yep, I don't remember when pre Sulfly. I did see
soul Fly too as well.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I saw them at incarceration this year.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
There we are right and I saw them. This was
out probably oz Fest ninety nine, prime time.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, this is peak. Yeah, that's when they did this
song with Chino. I'm a new metal at heart. Yeah,
I'm a new metal at heart.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I wouldn't even categorize the new metal anymore.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Yeah, but like when it was popping off you were
you were into new metal, like the fact that we
were on this the Slip.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Knot Street Team on the.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
New metal spectrum for sure. Absolutely, yeah, but like I'm
not thinking about.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Corn Corn that got me in the seventh string. I
gotta give them that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
No, I love the first two Corn records. They're great.
First two Corn records amazing still to this day.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
All right, so welcome back to the New Metal Podcast
where we just talk about nothing but a new metal
from the nineties, going into what we want in the future.
Got the guys in saus in here. I don't know
how we got so far off, but that's okay, we're
having fun.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I would say we have we got so far on
because you come out to this and this fest is
pretty new metal.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, absolutely, it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
A lot of modern bands that are on the new
metals background.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Now Sick New World that was pretty new metal and
compared to.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
What yes, but also the counter in the Sick New
World was there's like a lot of weird band like sisters, immersing.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Bands like that, played golf bands.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
But yeah, I I know my I have a lot
of I'm a big I'm a big new metal guy,
but I'm also there's a lot of new metal bands
that I'm glad they're not here anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So let's get back to you guys individually. Top three
bands and one.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Okay, now where you can go I know my three,
but you can go top three bands or top three
new middle bands.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Top three bands. Well Oasis okay for one, they're back, Yeah,
and not just because they're coming back. I've been been
a pretty outspoken Oasis fan for quite a while, and
it's now it's going to become trendy again, so I'm
not I'm not super excited about that. Next would be
or maybe these are all tied for first place, Jimmy World.
They kind of like were one of my gateway into
(16:57):
kind of like more underground emo band and then I
would say in Flames, oh, it would be another tide
for first.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
And then if I could, I.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
Would say a close fourth place would be pretty much
any of like the kind of like you know Gothenburg
scene death metal bands, you know, like all.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
The books and all this stuff, so yeah, so pretty yeah.
I mean, if you listen to a lot of.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
The salts and stuff, you'll definitely hear a lot of
old in Flames type.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I was gonna say this is kind of tying into
your influences a little bit. Yeah, everybody's gonna have their
own different influences. But if you guys have your top
favorite bands and what do you know, it kind of
crypt its way in.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, look at that.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Absolutely definitely our influences align with our predispositions of writing.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I actually don't listen to a lot of riffy bands.
Do you want? Death Towns are my number one? How's
the Battery?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
We're good?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Death Towns are my number one?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Which album?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
The first five good? Yeah? Literally, the first five records
are all good to go.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
One MIT's for six, I like Diamondo's.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I like Yeah for six.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I even I like first seven, coin Ocan still Flying
Homes didn't need it, but that's okay seven one for seven,
come on, come on. Number two favorite band probably be
a band called Mono. They're from Japan, Okay, they are
a post rock band, and I have just never not
(18:26):
listened to Mono for the last twenty.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Years on part with Cigareroes. But Mono more more of
my speed. And then the third one might be tricky
for me. I don't really know. Yes, I know there,
but I wouldn't put it top three only the first record. Yep,
I'm not IOWF not not for me.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I was gonna sayise Sky and it was gonna be
one of those yeah yeah yeah yeah. And then maybe
like like like a singer.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Song, probably Ryan Adams. Okay, Ryan Adams just did.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
A COEOC song, Corrosion of Conformity.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Ah, there we go, so I get twisted.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
He just did a cover okay, and it's amazing, amazing song.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I also asked that question because maybe you told me
about a band and I'm like who, and then I
look him up later and no, I love him so sweet,
big Ryan Adams fan. Any advice you guys would give
to a band just starting out? Would rather be first year,
second year? Maybe they're trying to no longer be a
local band. I asked this question every band I'll talk.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
To no longer be a local band. Well, it's our
advice is not good because we don't.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
We're not in the new climate. So compassion to all
emerging musicians. With that said, don't be afraid of It's
okay to be heavily influenced by music.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That doesn't mean you have to rip it off.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
But every band that you've ever heard has been heavily
influenced by other bands, and they use that as a
tool to mutate into what becomes their sound and not
necessarily focus on being them so much as what is like,
why do I like them so much? And how do
I capture that thing that I liked so much? And
(20:11):
I think that is what builds your availability of authenticity,
and I think authenticity still stands true in the long
run for bands and so and also just taking the
time perhaps to be available for opportunity is paramount and
(20:33):
meeting people. Meeting people and getting to know the bass
player from this band or the sound guy from this band,
and then all of a sudden your buddies with him
and he jumps ship and goes to some other band
and he's like, oh, I gotta we.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Need an opener. Okay, cool who And it's like, all
of a sudden, you're gonna get on a tour.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
People don't realize how quick that can happen too.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, it's all honestly, it's all. If nine of the
battle of tour with other bands is like do I.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Want to tour with this band or not, especially if
you're in a position to pick like it, are those
guys cool? Sure, let's bring them and and that's that
can be the make or break for a lot of
a lot of bands. Literally just get your foot in
the door, and as soon as your foot's in the door,
you can be in the walk.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Very well.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
To add about for you, yeah, I mean I feel
like now currently the obvious is advice, right, at least
from a younger band. Maybe if a younger person than
I might suggest do all the social media stuff, right.
I don't personally resonate with that as much, which is
because we come from a slightly older time. But to
piggyback off what Chris said, as I would say, focus
(21:42):
on and I guess maybe this is coming from like
the producer side of me that receives a lot of music.
Figure out what it is about your band that makes
you unique rather than what makes you.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
More like another band, You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Because I think that, Like, think about whenever the times
that you've discovered a new right, it's always been like, well,
they're kind of like this band, except they have this
really cool thing that makes them different. Right. It's never
been a thing where it's like, oh, I like this
band because they sound exactly like the other band, you know.
So yeah, focus on whatever it is that makes you
(22:16):
guys unique, and don't be afraid to lean into that.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
And it might it might be you might be pressured.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Into doing whatever the current fad is at the moment.
But I think in the long run, I mean, look
at slip Knock, you know what I mean? Here they
are what thirty years later or whatever, twenty five, yeah,
but still infinitely later. And I'm sure at a certain
point they were probably pressured to like remove half the
guys and just get a keyboard player, you know what
(22:45):
I mean, Yeah, at some point in their career. But
they stuck with it, and I think that that's what
makes them cool, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
They stuck to their their beliefs.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Very well said from both of you. Any final words,
any final things you want to say, fans, I.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Would give a personal just thank you to everyone for
supporting our band for this long.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
We didn't think that we would ever be around this
long and the fact that we.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Have the opportunity to still do music is pretty like
insane to us, you know, and we still personally, I
still enjoy it like so much and tune almost an
embarrassingly an embarrassing level where you'll see me on Saine
cheesing the whole time and I constantly get made fun
of it for it, but it's it's truly an amazing
(23:26):
feeling to still be able to play music and do
what you love.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Maggot for life, Maggot for life.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Gentlemen, I do appreciate a little bit of your time.
Thanks for hanging out. Have you have a great set later.

old music, but you know, I'm excited to hear what
