Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Taking a Walk.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, it's Buzznight and welcome to another buzz cut, where
I serve up the best moments across Buzz Night media productions.
Whether it's a rock legend on Taking a Walk, a
country stars breakthrough on music Save Me, or a comedian's
origin story on comedy Save Me, I'm giving you the
highlights that hit hardest. Let's dive in. Gina Gershauan, Welcome

(00:23):
to the Taking a Walk Podcast. It's an honor to
have you here.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Thank you, nice to be here.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Are you a fan of Dylan?

Speaker 4 (00:30):
You know?

Speaker 5 (00:31):
I have such a crazy story with Dylan. I have
a lot of crazy stories with him. He's been like
a good pal of mine in the last few years.

Speaker 6 (00:38):
Ever since.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
I there's that story when we went sparring and then
we became.

Speaker 6 (00:43):
Friends after that.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
But I'll never forget when I made my record that
was stuck in my head, and then I went over
to Bob's just kind of randomly.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
He was home, and I kept thinking, how do I shite?

Speaker 5 (00:59):
And I didn't really about music, but I part there
are so many questions I wanted to ask him, but
he knew.

Speaker 7 (01:04):
He said, what are you doing?

Speaker 5 (01:05):
I said, well, I'm trying to mix this record. I
don't know how to mix it, and I really, why
are you making another record?

Speaker 8 (01:10):
What do you mean?

Speaker 5 (01:11):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
I haven't done.

Speaker 5 (01:12):
I did one for the movie, but that wasn't mine anyway.
By the time I was leaving, he asked me about
my stereo in my car, and I'm thinking, oh my god,
is it going to ask me me to play my
music to him in this stupid, like crappy cassette player.
And I was like yeah, and he's like, would you
like to listen to my new album? And that album

(01:36):
was Modern Times, which is brilliant. Oh yeah, And it
was so just listening to it with Bob looking at
me listening to it. First of all, it's a brilliant album,
the tones, I love the whole quality of it, So
that like has a special place in my heart because
I just remember so much of it and talking to

(01:58):
him about it. But I love as far as recent albums,
I really that one will always be very special to me.

Speaker 9 (02:04):
Hi, everyone, this is your host Sarah Harrelson. Today. Here
with me on taking a walk in Nashville is Sean Martin,
the lead singer of the grunge punk metal band The quarantined.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Sometimes it's hard to be the only.

Speaker 10 (02:20):
One who's doing the right thing.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
You have to make the choice between cutting yourself off
for your own mental health and desperately needing to be
involved because it's an existential problem that you have to face.

Speaker 10 (02:35):
And through a lot of the therapy that I've done
over the last twenty years since I started writing the
first songs for this band, I know that I've grown
a lot and learned a hell of a lot of
different perspectives and ways to get to gratitude.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
And that's one of the most important aspects this music
has brought to me, is because whenever we're in a really,
really bad situation, the things that we need that we
don't actually know usually know how to vocalize. We're in
the lowest, lowest point. What we really need is gratitude
and prospective.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Melissa auf der Marr, So, moving from Hole to Smashing
Pumpkins two very different musical environments, did it take you
a long time to adapt to that?

Speaker 9 (03:24):
I had no time.

Speaker 11 (03:25):
I went from one band to the other in one week,
so I had no time to adapt. I completed my
my celebrity skin tour with Hole. Courtney became a Hollywood
movie star. So this crazy transition happened for her, and I,
who was committed to music, made a decision to leave

(03:46):
Hohole so I could continue my pursuits in music because
I could see that her interests were moving into Hollywood.
Billy called me one day when Darcy had disappeared and
said he was making this record and he wanted to
pull within close family friends and asked if I would
take her place. And it was right as I was

(04:07):
preparing to leave Hole, so I went back to back
in like one fell swoop, and it was quite dramatic.
When I joined Hole, replacing a deceased bass player. There
was quite a lot of sort of drama attached to
my arrival, so I was very well versed at that
point of arriving in dramatic fashions, but notably, the music

(04:32):
transition was very exciting.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Welcome to music, Save Me. I'm your host, Lynn Hoffman
and today Lucky Us, we are sitting down with Travis Bolt.
When you're deep in a song, what's actually happening in
your head, like physically or even emotionally when you're playing.

Speaker 6 (04:49):
It's really more emotion than anything. As cliche as that sounds.
You know, like if I'm singing something, it's not usually
just because oh it's a cool song, Like I'm playing
something because I resonate with it, right So in my
own songs that I write, or the songs that I
co write with people, my touch is on it and

(05:11):
it's enough for me to get into my head about it.
So when I'm on stage singing these songs, even if
it's a cover song, it means a lot to me
in one way or another. I've went through whatever that
person went through at one point or another, so I
can really relate to it, and I feel like the
crowd can too. So when I'm singing on stage, I'm
really trying to I'm trying to feel the emotion, which

(05:33):
is not hard to do, but I'm also trying to
project that onto the audience and make them feel the
same thing. And I've done a really good job of that,
I think over the years. I think that's why, you know,
my single Never Tried Cocaine really hit a lot of people,
because that's true heartbreak story. You know a lot of
people have been through it.

Speaker 12 (05:52):
It wasn't just me, you know.

Speaker 13 (05:54):
I am so excited that the warning is joining us
on the take of a Walk podcast. Thank you for.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Having that SI.

Speaker 13 (06:03):
You've opened for some of the biggest names in rock
Food Fighters, Guns, and Roses. Muse, give me one moment
from those experiences that you'll never forget.

Speaker 7 (06:15):
For me, when we opened for the Foo Fighters, it
was not all like we used to cover their songs
and everything, but also it was like playing one of
the most important stages in our country, like kind of
pay and it was always your dream to play on
that stage.

Speaker 8 (06:32):
And when we got there, it was the first time
we ever played there, and it was just so surreal
to see the size till that stadium and when people
started like filling in into.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Like the venue, and you would hear just like people,
like the chatter of the people, but having sixty thousand
people chattering and like you're like on side stage just
waiting to step and like give in.

Speaker 12 (06:57):
Your show and everything. It's just it was just such
an electrifying feeling and excitement and nervousness and just like
so much gratefulness for the opportunity that was presented to
us and like this hunger for wanting like to do
the best job you possibly could.
