Pipeman interviews horror/industrial metal band Horror Scene. Our music blends aggressive metal with horror storytelling, characters, and cinematic themes. We’d love to come on your podcast to talk horror influences, creating dark characters through music, and the intersection of horror films and metal.
Welcome to Your Hell
Horror Scene emerged from the underground of Harrisburg, PA with one mission: to turn fear into music. Formed by a group of musicians obsessed with horror cinema, psychological thrillers, serial killers and the darker edges of industrial metal and rock, the band fuses theatrical storytelling with heavy, atmospheric soundscapes. Their songs explore themes of dread, hauntings, obsession, and the monsters—real or imagined—that live inside us all.
On stage, Horror Scene transforms the venue into their own chilling universe. Fog, distorted visuals, blood-red lights, and immersive sound design create a multisensory experience that blurs the line between concert and horror film. Their electrifying live shows have earned them a fiercely loyal fanbase drawn to the adrenaline, the spectacle, and the catharsis. Touring the US with such acts like Soulfly has helped the band have a better understanding of how to adjust to a crowd to give them the best entrainment experience the band has to offer.
Musically, Horror Scene pulls inspiration from industrial metal, gothic rock, modern metalcore, and classic horror film scores. The result is a sound that blends cinematic tension with explosive energy: pounding drums, razor-sharp guitars, haunting synths, and vocals that shift from melodic to monstrous. Working with Producer Daniel Malsch has helped the band develop their sound into something unique with a twist.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hi, you live.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Don to the censure.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
For Wow, pray you.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe
Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm here with
our next guest that has some badass music and so
let's welcome to show horror scene.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Hey, how's it going. Thanks for having me on, appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Hey great to have you.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
And uh so, I what I love about your music
is not only the appearance wise. I do love, like
you know, people that go way above to call duty
when it comes to creativity. Anybody can just get up
there and just play and stand still, but it takes
(01:08):
it takes a whole nother level to give a performance,
because that's what a live show is a performance for sure,
you know. But I also love even more that your music.
I talk about this all the time too. It blends genres.
Like to me, the best bands nowadays, specially in the
(01:28):
metal area, is when they blend all types of metal
genres or other genres, because if you're only very specific,
like they have these genres, they are so stupidly specific
that it's you know, the music is just formulas at
that point. There's like no uniqueness about it. So it does,
(01:49):
you know, they used to say when in the eighties
that it all sounded the same, but it didn't now
the people I argued with about that, I'm like, yeah,
you're right, it does kind of sound at you know,
the ones now, not then, But then dance like you
don't because you are bringing other influences in and it's
not just oh, we can only do this type of metal,
(02:13):
you know, right. Yeah, So tell us a little bit
about your creative process and how things work with the
band on blending these genres and bringing everything together to
make horror scene.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I mean, our process is pretty easy.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
For the most part, Like somebody will come come up
with a guitar riff and everybody will just kind of
work off of that, and sometimes like well, you know,
we'll come up with a chorus, the pre chorus, get
the verse down, and then sometimes while we're putting things together,
like hey, what we played here in the verse is cool,
but it doesn't really fit this. Let's pull that out,
but we can use that somewhere else. And that's pretty
(02:53):
much how that all works, Like, you know, we'll just
blend it all together, and then you know, using the
keys and synth and that techno and and and dance
stuff that we throw in there. It's just it's just fun,
like messing everything together.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I like the keyword fun because if you're a musician
and you're not having fun, this is the wrong industry.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Because a lot of it is a bunch of shit.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
So if you're not having fun in the creative process, right,
where are you having fun?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
What was that moment in time that you thought to yourself,
this is what I need to do? Like, what was
that one thing that hooked you in when you were young?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I just music in.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
General, you know, growing up my parents listening to you know,
Billy joel And and Elton John, you know, bands like that,
and like, I was always fascinated with how music just
came together. So you know, as a young young kid,
I started off playing violin and I went to trombone
and then I turned to drums and I haven't moved
(03:59):
back since. So yeah, I mean, for me, I mean
that aha moment, if you will. I was started at
a very very young age. It's just the whole creative
process behind it is what really lashed me on to it.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I love hearing that you went from trombone to drums
and I say, that because you know, like I was
in school, band, school orchestra. I played drums for ten years,
so I was in the percussion of the orchestra and
I played everything in percussion, and then I used to
look over at the other kids that were playing trumpet
and trombone. I'm like, oh, I might want to try that.
(04:33):
That looks pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
So it's kind of cool that you went the other way.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's oddly enough though, when I
went to trombone, I forget what grade that was, I
want to say sixth or seventh grade, and we were
allowed to pick an instrument.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I initially wanted to start out on drums with.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
The music teacher that we had at the times, like
I have too many drummers here, why don't you try trombone.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So it wasn't even like anything I even wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Sometimes that's how you know you find your your path though, right, Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
For sure, I will tell you. I will say one thing.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
They'll start, you know, going to a brass instrument like
the trombone, like my favorite, uh cleft out of base
and trebles.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Bas I love bass, cleft all stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, nice, And you know it's funny because I think
I've changed throughout the years, because I've always been like
a very like when I listen to music younger, I
would like put the treble up to the max, and
I didn't care as much about the bass as the treble.
And now I'm kind of like, no, I like it
more balanced now. And I've even you know, it's funny
(05:43):
I go and I do you know radio coverage at
music festivals all over to US, UK, Europe, and I
never wear earplugs like I don't like them. I don't want,
I don't and I think it doesn't make it. I
think it makes the music worse. And I've stood up
against motorheads speakers nice with my ear up to it,
(06:06):
you know, and like I still hear pretty well.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
So I'm okay at this point.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
But uh, there was one festival I can't remember what
it was, but one man I have like thousands and
thousands of sets I've been to that the treble actually
hurt my ears. I was up in the photo pit
and they had that treble so high that I literally
(06:31):
like my ears were in pain. And that never happens
to me. Like I could be up there in the
photo pit or anywhere closed, I could stand right next
to the speaker, doesn't bother me at all.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
So maybe that is a.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Thing that like, maybe over time your ears get more
sensitive to the treble than the base, because I don't
think the base really affects your ears the same way
a treble does.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
No, probably not, because I mean it's trouble.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
That's all your high end, like all the high end stuff,
and at least you know, mids and bass, that's.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
All you know. Obviously your lower end things.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
But yeah, I just always, you know, like I said,
doing trombone, I just always loved the bass cleft, uh
after that because for me, like I like to feel everything.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah, totally, like especially bands.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He's like eight eight drops, I love that.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I love all of that, Like you spend its times
right like they hit like a floor tom or something
at the same time, and eight o eight drops.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I love how that that messes up.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Well, it's funny you should say that because I was
a concert during the summer that I brought my brother
and always was complaining the whole time. Is because the
bass was like beating in his chest and I had
the exact opposite feeling. I'm like, man, I love it.
Feels good. It feels like I'm part of the music
about it.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah right, really.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
So what was it that made you turn to You
know a lot of us metal head are into horror
and stuff, but what made you turn to combining those
two loves into one?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So when this band first started, where we were actually
operating under a different name. When this band first started,
we were called Suicide Puppets. Up until recently, I want
to say, about four or five months ago, did we
do a whole rebrand a horror scene. Now, even under
Suicide Puppets, everything was still horror related, you know, murder, killing, death,
(08:30):
fun stuff like that. As far as our lyrics go,
I was It's just one of those things. Like us
as a band, it just made sense.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Like we all loved horror, we all loved metal, we
all have industrial metal, and we just kind of like
smashed everything together.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But like this is who we're going to be because
this is everything that we love.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And it's so funny you said what you did, because
my okay, before you, I did my live showing them.
Before that, I did another interview and that band did
a whole rebranding. So today's the day of rebranding. But listen,
the most successful rebranding of all time was Black Sabbath.
You know, they were originally Earth and then like, could
(09:10):
you imagine if they were still a cold Earth. I
don't think they would be as relevant today. Nobody would
care not Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well, the rebrand was almost out of necessity as well.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, with suicide in our band name, we were getting
smashed in algorithms. Google wouldn't even let us advertise anymore,
so we had to do a rebrand. But you're right,
I think this is this This name fits us a
little bit better. Plus we have like I think there's
eight films right now that are the two of them
(09:43):
are out, but the other six are in post production
that features our music and they're all horror films.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So it works out.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So we need I think what we need in twenty
twenty six or twenty twenty seven is a tour of
Zombie Ice nine kills, And you guys.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I am one thousand percent on board with that idea.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Right right, oh man? But I do love, like I
said in the beginning, have did it combined? Like people
there are haters on that, Like I'm old school from
the eighties, so a lot of my old school metal
head friends are like.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I hate the bands pretty mess today, It's stupid, and
I'm like, no, I think it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Man.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
It just makes it makes for a better show. And
I've even thought about myself. Okay, so I thought about
myself because I've interviewed a bunch of people that wear
masks or makeup, and then when I see him without him,
I'm like, oh, well that's.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Why you do that.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
So I'm like, I'm like, uh, you know, I'm thinking myself. Okay,
I'm fifty nine years old. You know I could wear
a mask, start a band and just get really big
like sleep Token, and take my mask off and say
ha ha, fuckers, I'm sixty years old.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I mean, well that's I mean, that's the beauty behind
it though, like you know, like you said, like when
we initially, when we started out, we didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Do any of the face paint and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And of course, like sometimes when we run ads, like recently,
we were running an ad because we dropped a single
back on January second, a song called Yau, and we
had run an ad for it because our song previously
that Welcome to Your Hell breached number sixteen on the
Metal contraband Top fifty Metal charts, so we were kind
(11:40):
of promoting to it.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
At one shot said, hey, you know chart climbing metal
band whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I forget how it was worded at this point, and
it was sent out there and like you should have
seen the hate comments like oh, gimmick y band, it's
already been done, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's like I never understood that.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Like if you don't like something, that's fine, but like
what really compels you to like just throw so much hate?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, you're listen.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Most of my show today, my live show was about
how ridiculous people are being with the bad bunny thing
at the super Bowl set aside the politics or any
of that shit, Like what do you care? Then't tune out,
don't watch the fifteen minutes of the halftime show, Like
(12:29):
who give? Like there's play a halftime shows that I
didn't want to watch. I don't care. It didn't bother
me enough to throw hate, you know, It's like, so
what switch to something else?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You know? They had all these alternatives, so go watch
that alternative? Who cares?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
You know? But like I don't know why it's such
a big deal. Like it's stupid that everything's getting to
be such a big deal and music should be such
a big deal. My other peeve is like where they
say people that are musician and shouldn't have a voice.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Uh, it's the exact.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Opposite, morons, That's just what I'm gonna say, Like, of
course they should have a voice. They are also people
that can exercise freem of speech and if they want
to speak their mind about things, that's our prerogative.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
All music since the beginning of time that wasn't pop
music did that, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Right, Rock has always done that, you know, spoke up
about things.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
You know, you don't have.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
To agree with it, don't listen you don't like it
to your point, I don't get why people waste their
breath with hate. Like, if you hate it, I'm cool,
keep it to yourself.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah right, you know, what do you do?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You know?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
But I think no matter what you do, you're going
to get it. I see it with the festivals too.
We went for two years with no live music festivals
came back. I'm like, oh man, this is gonna be
great because all those people that were bitching all the
time won't be bitching anymore because they just realize what
it's like to not have live music, they're still bitching.
(14:13):
Like it just blows my mind. I love the ones
that when they're going to a festival and one band
drops out for whatever reason, they're like, oh, it's the
only reason I was going to a festival.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Well, that's a stupid idea. Go to their concert.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Then I go to festivals to discover new music, Like
they don't play their regular set at a festival. If
you're only going for one band, go to their concert.
You'll be better off.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, how about it. And that's an expensive ticket for
one band. If you think about it.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
You know what I mean, no doubt, And like why
would you miss other bands? How would you know about
the one band you're going to see if you didn't
see them for the first time, Like some of my
favorite bands, I didn't know who they were. And that's
the way it was in the eighties too, Like that's
where stuff like what you're doing with all the entertainment
performance part of it. It's like, listen, we couldn't hear
(15:07):
music before we bought it, so we went by the
album cover and gigs. I remember the first club gig
I ever went to. My dad moved me from New
Jersey to LA in nineteen eighty if you can imagine
a time to move to La Okay. And so I
(15:28):
saw this ad for this band playing at the Roxy
on the Sunset Strip. I had never been to a
club show ever, and I was and I went just
because of the way they looked. Now this was before
they ever had an album, so they were kind of
like horror punk at the time. And that was Motley
Crue And I mean, like I remember going to that show.
(15:51):
I'm like, I'm never going to a real concert again
because to me, equayed the real concerts were boring.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
This was exciting. There was a lot of.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Going on in a lot of performance and all that,
you know. And then the second club show I ever did,
similar type of scenario. I saw this ad in band
magazine and the headliner their picture was there and it
was Wasp. Was Wasp Armored Saint in this band Headshaker.
(16:22):
I mean, to this day, I'm friends with the bands
from Armored Saint because but I mean, that just totally
turned me. Those things totally turned me into a metal head.
Like I liked the medal before that, Yeah, but those
live experiences like you produce are what got me into it.
If I there's one band that plays at festivals, all
(16:44):
the press people make fun of because they only just
stand there and play, and we all call them the
most boring band live ever. And if that's what I
experienced a band like that, maybe I wouldn't be a
metal head today.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
You know it's supposed to be like a show.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, it's And even as.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
A musician, dude, if you're up there just standing around,
like and you look bored, it's like, are you even
enjoying what you're doing? Right when I'm behind the kit,
you know, I'm moving around, flinging things around and what like,
I'm I'm having fun and it should be fun.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
And you know what, a lot of people throw hate
towards Laars and he always looks like he's having fun,
you know. So okay, you know, and he was right
about you know, Napster, So oh yeah, everybody gave a
mate for that. So I say, just let people be
people express themselves. That's what being anorest is is expressing
(17:38):
yourself the way you want to express and you'll collect
your tribe, you know, the people that like it you
know again, I don't get wasted time. You don't like
something listening to something else period, you know, watch something else. Okay,
So what else do you have on the horizon here
for twenty twenty six, Well.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
We have more releases coming out. So we started working
with a notable producer named Dan Malch.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Dan Mauch has produced bands like Ghost Go, Jira, A
Bench Seven, Full Door Petch, you know, small little metal bands,
and he started working with us last year.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
So we're going back up to his studio.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
At the end of March, so next month, and we
actually have another single dropping the same time that we're
going into the studio.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
We're trying to get things geared up. More than likely
either in an EP or an LP is going to
be dropping this year.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
We are currently working on a tour for the month
of around August time frame is where we're looking at.
So we do have a festival coming up in March.
That's March, I think it's March six or March ninth.
It's Inkedin Loud at the York Fairgrounds in York, Pennsylvania.
(18:56):
I think as of right now that's kind of where
we're sitting on things. But we are doing a lot
of writing and whatnot, So there's there's a lot of
other things like moving parts going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So yeah, but I mean there's there's a lot coming
this year for sure.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
So here's what I want to know too that I
think I already know the answer. Okay, So when you
put on the makeup and get all dressed up for
your live show, is it almost like you go into
a transformation and become the musician.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
It's kind of like me, like, as soon.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
As the mike turns on, there's a switch in my
head that radio personality comes out, you know, like automatically.
I don't even think about it, do you Do you
think that's the case when you're like in those costumes
in the makeup, like you transform and like kind of
be that that entity, so to speak.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I would say yes, yeah, Because we all have different
stage names, like Mind's Vetitas our drummer or our drummer.
I am the drummer, our least singer. He goes by Twisty,
our bass player goes by Johnny. We have three guitar players,
Steven and Victus and z so we all have stage names.
So yeah, absolutely, as soon as like the makeup goes
(20:08):
on and whatnot, Like we become that persona.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
We embody who that individual is.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Another good point about putting on makeup and whatnot is
like if you're especially when it comes to local shows,
like if we're standing around, even if we're not next
to each other, you know that we are together.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
As a band.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
So that's another reason why we do the makeup. But yeah,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, we definitely become our personas once the makeup comes on.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Well, it's like me, my radio mic or persona is
pipe Man, and there is a different persona to it,
like part of it is real me and part of
it is the alter ego me. But it is so
funny that even my kids sometimes now will call me
pipe Man, and then Alexa calls me pipe Man all
(20:58):
the time, so that's always funny. Nice, But how do
people reach out to you? Uh, you know on socials
on the web, buy your merch all that good stuff, so.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Your your best bets just go to our length tree

Speaker 1 (21:40):
We recently just got new hoodies in which is kind
of cool.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Unfortunately I don't have any with me to show you,
but it's basically just has the logo on the front
of the hoodie.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Nice. Nice.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I bet you have some badass merch and people can't
like listen to my show anymore unless they buy your merch.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Well, people, the real items, to say the least, all
of my wife. My wife came up with.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
We have these like little voodoo dolls that come with
their own pins and needles and stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
We have.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
We have something that's called the serial Killer Archives, which
is a box that's filled with uh like that kinetic
sand stuff and inside the kinetic sand we have these
usb I actually have one here. Unfortunately I don't have
the bottom on it, but we have these USB's that
look like coffins.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Oh wow, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It had Yeah, it has the old band name on it,
but it's got two full albums on it. But when
you open up the box, there's a shovel on there
in a headstone. You have to dig the USB out
of the dirt.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
I love see that's creativity.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Like that brings me back because I think it's stuff
like that that kids are missing out nowadays with albums,
you know, because like I remember being a kid and
getting buying love gun, and that was when the popper
things in school were very popular. You would make these
paper popper things. Yeah, and they made the Kiss made
(23:01):
a love gun. That was one of those poppers. But
it was the Kiss love gun. And you know, of
course you could get into trouble in school because you
were using school and you know, but he used to
love Like I'd buy albums and there would be gifts
in there sometimes, or like I got really into the
(23:22):
Beatles because of the nineteen sixty nine radio show that
Paul McCartney was dead and you had to buy all
the albums to get the clues. So I bought every
Beatles album to check out the clues and play the
album backwards.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
And all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
You know, kids don't get to do that cool stuff anymore,
you know about it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I remember when I was like a kid in the
nineties when CDs became a thing, like half the fun
was buying the CD of your favorite band or whatever,
and then there would be like hidden tracks on it.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Yeah, totally, totally or like that.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
When Motley Cruz came out with the first album, there
were only like I think there were only like thirty
copies of the original which had a real zipper on
the cover, like a real working zipper like you see
it in the picture now, but actually and it was like, wow,
that's so cool to have that, you know.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
And like I.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Remember one of tools CDs had like a magnifying glass.
It had like it was I forget which album, but
it was black. I still have it black folds over
and it had like a little magnifying glass in the
CD cover.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
It was wild. So like I think we need to
go back to that.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
It's like kind of it's kind of like if you
had happy meals at McDonald's without toys, it's not as
much fun.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
And it's weird though too, because like even when this
band first started, still would have physical copies of things,
But now when we buy physical copies of things, we
buy like way less now because with all the digital
agent where and everybody just goes you know, they'll stream
it right away or I'll just get it off of
iTunes this side or the other. But like we did
Vinyl recently for our last EP No. Two EPs ago,
(25:17):
Beyond the Veil, and I mean we sold quite a
bit because there's a big resurgence in vinyl, which is
kind of cool. But we're still sitting on media, just
sitting on it. You know, nobody buys physics.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
It's it's hard, man, yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
And you know what's interesting about vinyl now, I just
found this out recently. I was taking my granddaughter to
get a holiday gift and she wanted a record album.
Like two of my grandkids are total record collectors, so
I think that's so cool. And I remember looking at
(25:56):
the price, I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? It
was like thirty six dollars for an album. I still
have albums that still have the price tag on them
at home, at say like two ninety nine for like something.
I have an album by Death that was two ninety nine.
Like I've exploited albums that were like two and three dollars,
(26:20):
you know, stuff like that I think I have a
bathroom album.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
That was ninety nine cents. Yeah, like yeah, anymore right exactly?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
And I bought them because listen, you couldn't hear what
it sounded like. It was like, okay for ninety nine
cents for two dollars, I don't give a crap if
I don't like it, and the album looks cool, right,
Like would you do that today?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Kid?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Go buy a thirty dollars album with not knowing though
it sounded like I don't even know how to go
to gigs today, to be honest, Like I went to
see Metallica where I paid two bucks for a ticket
and five bucks for a shirt, Like.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
I don't know how kids can even go to a
show today.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, I mean ticket prices are pretty high. Yeah, merch
merch nowadays.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I mean it's I'm all for the merch though, because
it's the only way you guys make money. Like, I
think a lot of people don't realize that, so I
make a big deal about I was joking about not listening,
but I wasn't really either, because it's like, you know,
it's the only way you guys make money. You're Pete
The days of the rock star getting these massive amounts
(27:25):
of money and drugs is totally over okay, Like.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
You guys have to work your ass.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Off, okay, And I just think you know, you guys
deserve to make a living. You're working hard. And when
people say, oh, they should just blow up.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Do you work for free? Is what I say to them,
Like it is. It is what you need to make
a living.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
So support bands buy their merch, especially horror sing because again,
can't listen to my show unless you buy their merchant.
They probably have cool cools merch out You're gonna love
for ever, so just get it right.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
We have cough we have coff and keychains too. I mean,
who doesn't want a cough and key chair exactly?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
You know that that's beautiful. I love it. Well.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Thanks a lot for giving us great music, and thanks
for being on the Adventures of play Man.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Awesome. Appreciate you having me on.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
It's been fun my pleasure and I love fun. Thank
you for listening to the Adventures of play Man. I'm
w for CUI Radio.
Hi, you live.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Don to the censure.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
For Wow, pray you.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe
Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm here with
our next guest that has some badass music and so
let's welcome to show horror scene.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Hey, how's it going. Thanks for having me on, appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Hey great to have you.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
And uh so, I what I love about your music
is not only the appearance wise. I do love, like
you know, people that go way above to call duty
when it comes to creativity. Anybody can just get up
there and just play and stand still, but it takes
(01:08):
it takes a whole nother level to give a performance,
because that's what a live show is a performance for sure,
you know. But I also love even more that your music.
I talk about this all the time too. It blends genres.
Like to me, the best bands nowadays, specially in the
(01:28):
metal area, is when they blend all types of metal
genres or other genres, because if you're only very specific,
like they have these genres, they are so stupidly specific
that it's you know, the music is just formulas at
that point. There's like no uniqueness about it. So it does,
(01:49):
you know, they used to say when in the eighties
that it all sounded the same, but it didn't now
the people I argued with about that, I'm like, yeah,
you're right, it does kind of sound at you know,
the ones now, not then, But then dance like you
don't because you are bringing other influences in and it's
not just oh, we can only do this type of metal,
(02:13):
you know, right. Yeah, So tell us a little bit
about your creative process and how things work with the
band on blending these genres and bringing everything together to
make horror scene.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I mean, our process is pretty easy.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
For the most part, Like somebody will come come up
with a guitar riff and everybody will just kind of
work off of that, and sometimes like well, you know,
we'll come up with a chorus, the pre chorus, get
the verse down, and then sometimes while we're putting things together,
like hey, what we played here in the verse is cool,
but it doesn't really fit this. Let's pull that out,
but we can use that somewhere else. And that's pretty
(02:53):
much how that all works, Like, you know, we'll just
blend it all together, and then you know, using the
keys and synth and that techno and and and dance
stuff that we throw in there. It's just it's just fun,
like messing everything together.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I like the keyword fun because if you're a musician
and you're not having fun, this is the wrong industry.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Because a lot of it is a bunch of shit.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
So if you're not having fun in the creative process, right,
where are you having fun?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
What was that moment in time that you thought to yourself,
this is what I need to do? Like, what was
that one thing that hooked you in when you were young?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I just music in.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
General, you know, growing up my parents listening to you know,
Billy joel And and Elton John, you know, bands like that,
and like, I was always fascinated with how music just
came together. So you know, as a young young kid,
I started off playing violin and I went to trombone
and then I turned to drums and I haven't moved
(03:59):
back since. So yeah, I mean, for me, I mean
that aha moment, if you will. I was started at
a very very young age. It's just the whole creative
process behind it is what really lashed me on to it.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I love hearing that you went from trombone to drums
and I say, that because you know, like I was
in school, band, school orchestra. I played drums for ten years,
so I was in the percussion of the orchestra and
I played everything in percussion, and then I used to
look over at the other kids that were playing trumpet
and trombone. I'm like, oh, I might want to try that.
(04:33):
That looks pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
So it's kind of cool that you went the other way.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's oddly enough though, when I
went to trombone, I forget what grade that was, I
want to say sixth or seventh grade, and we were
allowed to pick an instrument.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I initially wanted to start out on drums with.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
The music teacher that we had at the times, like
I have too many drummers here, why don't you try trombone.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So it wasn't even like anything I even wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Sometimes that's how you know you find your your path though, right, Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
For sure, I will tell you. I will say one thing.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
They'll start, you know, going to a brass instrument like
the trombone, like my favorite, uh cleft out of base
and trebles.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Bas I love bass, cleft all stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, nice, And you know it's funny because I think
I've changed throughout the years, because I've always been like
a very like when I listen to music younger, I
would like put the treble up to the max, and
I didn't care as much about the bass as the treble.
And now I'm kind of like, no, I like it
more balanced now. And I've even you know, it's funny
(05:43):
I go and I do you know radio coverage at
music festivals all over to US, UK, Europe, and I
never wear earplugs like I don't like them. I don't want,
I don't and I think it doesn't make it. I
think it makes the music worse. And I've stood up
against motorheads speakers nice with my ear up to it,
(06:06):
you know, and like I still hear pretty well.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
So I'm okay at this point.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
But uh, there was one festival I can't remember what
it was, but one man I have like thousands and
thousands of sets I've been to that the treble actually
hurt my ears. I was up in the photo pit
and they had that treble so high that I literally
(06:31):
like my ears were in pain. And that never happens
to me. Like I could be up there in the
photo pit or anywhere closed, I could stand right next
to the speaker, doesn't bother me at all.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
So maybe that is a.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Thing that like, maybe over time your ears get more
sensitive to the treble than the base, because I don't
think the base really affects your ears the same way
a treble does.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
No, probably not, because I mean it's trouble.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
That's all your high end, like all the high end stuff,
and at least you know, mids and bass, that's.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
All you know. Obviously your lower end things.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
But yeah, I just always, you know, like I said,
doing trombone, I just always loved the bass cleft, uh
after that because for me, like I like to feel everything.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah, totally, like especially bands.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He's like eight eight drops, I love that.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I love all of that, Like you spend its times
right like they hit like a floor tom or something
at the same time, and eight o eight drops.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I love how that that messes up.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Well, it's funny you should say that because I was
a concert during the summer that I brought my brother
and always was complaining the whole time. Is because the
bass was like beating in his chest and I had
the exact opposite feeling. I'm like, man, I love it.
Feels good. It feels like I'm part of the music
about it.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah right, really.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
So what was it that made you turn to You
know a lot of us metal head are into horror
and stuff, but what made you turn to combining those
two loves into one?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So when this band first started, where we were actually
operating under a different name. When this band first started,
we were called Suicide Puppets. Up until recently, I want
to say, about four or five months ago, did we
do a whole rebrand a horror scene. Now, even under
Suicide Puppets, everything was still horror related, you know, murder, killing, death,
(08:30):
fun stuff like that. As far as our lyrics go,
I was It's just one of those things. Like us
as a band, it just made sense.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Like we all loved horror, we all loved metal, we
all have industrial metal, and we just kind of like
smashed everything together.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But like this is who we're going to be because
this is everything that we love.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And it's so funny you said what you did, because
my okay, before you, I did my live showing them.
Before that, I did another interview and that band did
a whole rebranding. So today's the day of rebranding. But listen,
the most successful rebranding of all time was Black Sabbath.
You know, they were originally Earth and then like, could
(09:10):
you imagine if they were still a cold Earth. I
don't think they would be as relevant today. Nobody would
care not Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well, the rebrand was almost out of necessity as well.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, with suicide in our band name, we were getting
smashed in algorithms. Google wouldn't even let us advertise anymore,
so we had to do a rebrand. But you're right,
I think this is this This name fits us a
little bit better. Plus we have like I think there's
eight films right now that are the two of them
(09:43):
are out, but the other six are in post production
that features our music and they're all horror films.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So it works out.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So we need I think what we need in twenty
twenty six or twenty twenty seven is a tour of
Zombie Ice nine kills, And you guys.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I am one thousand percent on board with that idea.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Right right, oh man? But I do love, like I
said in the beginning, have did it combined? Like people
there are haters on that, Like I'm old school from
the eighties, so a lot of my old school metal
head friends are like.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I hate the bands pretty mess today, It's stupid, and
I'm like, no, I think it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Man.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
It just makes it makes for a better show. And
I've even thought about myself. Okay, so I thought about
myself because I've interviewed a bunch of people that wear
masks or makeup, and then when I see him without him,
I'm like, oh, well that's.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Why you do that.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
So I'm like, I'm like, uh, you know, I'm thinking myself. Okay,
I'm fifty nine years old. You know I could wear
a mask, start a band and just get really big
like sleep Token, and take my mask off and say
ha ha, fuckers, I'm sixty years old.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I mean, well that's I mean, that's the beauty behind
it though, like you know, like you said, like when
we initially, when we started out, we didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Do any of the face paint and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And of course, like sometimes when we run ads, like recently,
we were running an ad because we dropped a single
back on January second, a song called Yau, and we
had run an ad for it because our song previously
that Welcome to Your Hell breached number sixteen on the
Metal contraband Top fifty Metal charts, so we were kind
(11:40):
of promoting to it.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
At one shot said, hey, you know chart climbing metal
band whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I forget how it was worded at this point, and
it was sent out there and like you should have
seen the hate comments like oh, gimmick y band, it's
already been done, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's like I never understood that.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Like if you don't like something, that's fine, but like
what really compels you to like just throw so much hate?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, you're listen.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Most of my show today, my live show was about
how ridiculous people are being with the bad bunny thing
at the super Bowl set aside the politics or any
of that shit, Like what do you care? Then't tune out,
don't watch the fifteen minutes of the halftime show, Like
(12:29):
who give? Like there's play a halftime shows that I
didn't want to watch. I don't care. It didn't bother
me enough to throw hate, you know, It's like, so
what switch to something else?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You know? They had all these alternatives, so go watch
that alternative? Who cares?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
You know? But like I don't know why it's such
a big deal. Like it's stupid that everything's getting to
be such a big deal and music should be such
a big deal. My other peeve is like where they
say people that are musician and shouldn't have a voice.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Uh, it's the exact.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Opposite, morons, That's just what I'm gonna say, Like, of
course they should have a voice. They are also people
that can exercise freem of speech and if they want
to speak their mind about things, that's our prerogative.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
All music since the beginning of time that wasn't pop
music did that, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Right, Rock has always done that, you know, spoke up
about things.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
You know, you don't have.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
To agree with it, don't listen you don't like it
to your point, I don't get why people waste their
breath with hate. Like, if you hate it, I'm cool,
keep it to yourself.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah right, you know, what do you do?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You know?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
But I think no matter what you do, you're going
to get it. I see it with the festivals too.
We went for two years with no live music festivals
came back. I'm like, oh man, this is gonna be
great because all those people that were bitching all the
time won't be bitching anymore because they just realize what
it's like to not have live music, they're still bitching.
(14:13):
Like it just blows my mind. I love the ones
that when they're going to a festival and one band
drops out for whatever reason, they're like, oh, it's the
only reason I was going to a festival.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Well, that's a stupid idea. Go to their concert.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Then I go to festivals to discover new music, Like
they don't play their regular set at a festival. If
you're only going for one band, go to their concert.
You'll be better off.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, how about it. And that's an expensive ticket for
one band. If you think about it.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
You know what I mean, no doubt, And like why
would you miss other bands? How would you know about
the one band you're going to see if you didn't
see them for the first time, Like some of my
favorite bands, I didn't know who they were. And that's
the way it was in the eighties too, Like that's
where stuff like what you're doing with all the entertainment
performance part of it. It's like, listen, we couldn't hear
(15:07):
music before we bought it, so we went by the
album cover and gigs. I remember the first club gig
I ever went to. My dad moved me from New
Jersey to LA in nineteen eighty if you can imagine
a time to move to La Okay. And so I
(15:28):
saw this ad for this band playing at the Roxy
on the Sunset Strip. I had never been to a
club show ever, and I was and I went just
because of the way they looked. Now this was before
they ever had an album, so they were kind of
like horror punk at the time. And that was Motley
Crue And I mean, like I remember going to that show.
(15:51):
I'm like, I'm never going to a real concert again
because to me, equayed the real concerts were boring.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
This was exciting. There was a lot of.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Going on in a lot of performance and all that,
you know. And then the second club show I ever did,
similar type of scenario. I saw this ad in band
magazine and the headliner their picture was there and it
was Wasp. Was Wasp Armored Saint in this band Headshaker.
(16:22):
I mean, to this day, I'm friends with the bands
from Armored Saint because but I mean, that just totally
turned me. Those things totally turned me into a metal head.
Like I liked the medal before that, Yeah, but those
live experiences like you produce are what got me into it.
If I there's one band that plays at festivals, all
(16:44):
the press people make fun of because they only just
stand there and play, and we all call them the
most boring band live ever. And if that's what I
experienced a band like that, maybe I wouldn't be a
metal head today.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
You know it's supposed to be like a show.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, it's And even as.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
A musician, dude, if you're up there just standing around,
like and you look bored, it's like, are you even
enjoying what you're doing? Right when I'm behind the kit,
you know, I'm moving around, flinging things around and what like,
I'm I'm having fun and it should be fun.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
And you know what, a lot of people throw hate
towards Laars and he always looks like he's having fun,
you know. So okay, you know, and he was right
about you know, Napster, So oh yeah, everybody gave a
mate for that. So I say, just let people be
people express themselves. That's what being anorest is is expressing
(17:38):
yourself the way you want to express and you'll collect
your tribe, you know, the people that like it you
know again, I don't get wasted time. You don't like
something listening to something else period, you know, watch something else. Okay,
So what else do you have on the horizon here
for twenty twenty six, Well.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
We have more releases coming out. So we started working
with a notable producer named Dan Malch.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Dan Mauch has produced bands like Ghost Go, Jira, A
Bench Seven, Full Door Petch, you know, small little metal bands,
and he started working with us last year.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
So we're going back up to his studio.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
At the end of March, so next month, and we
actually have another single dropping the same time that we're
going into the studio.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
We're trying to get things geared up. More than likely
either in an EP or an LP is going to
be dropping this year.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
We are currently working on a tour for the month
of around August time frame is where we're looking at.
So we do have a festival coming up in March.
That's March, I think it's March six or March ninth.
It's Inkedin Loud at the York Fairgrounds in York, Pennsylvania.
(18:56):
I think as of right now that's kind of where
we're sitting on things. But we are doing a lot
of writing and whatnot, So there's there's a lot of
other things like moving parts going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So yeah, but I mean there's there's a lot coming
this year for sure.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
So here's what I want to know too that I
think I already know the answer. Okay, So when you
put on the makeup and get all dressed up for
your live show, is it almost like you go into
a transformation and become the musician.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
It's kind of like me, like, as soon.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
As the mike turns on, there's a switch in my
head that radio personality comes out, you know, like automatically.
I don't even think about it, do you Do you
think that's the case when you're like in those costumes
in the makeup, like you transform and like kind of
be that that entity, so to speak.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I would say yes, yeah, Because we all have different
stage names, like Mind's Vetitas our drummer or our drummer.
I am the drummer, our least singer. He goes by Twisty,
our bass player goes by Johnny. We have three guitar players,
Steven and Victus and z so we all have stage names.
So yeah, absolutely, as soon as like the makeup goes
(20:08):
on and whatnot, Like we become that persona.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
We embody who that individual is.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Another good point about putting on makeup and whatnot is
like if you're especially when it comes to local shows,
like if we're standing around, even if we're not next
to each other, you know that we are together.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
As a band.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
So that's another reason why we do the makeup. But yeah,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, we definitely become our personas once the makeup comes on.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Well, it's like me, my radio mic or persona is
pipe Man, and there is a different persona to it,
like part of it is real me and part of
it is the alter ego me. But it is so
funny that even my kids sometimes now will call me
pipe Man, and then Alexa calls me pipe Man all
(20:58):
the time, so that's always funny. Nice, But how do
people reach out to you? Uh, you know on socials
on the web, buy your merch all that good stuff, so.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Your your best bets just go to our length tree
which is horsing uh, horsing band. I believe you can
go to our dot com which is horsingband dot com,
which that'll be your gateway to everywhere, Facebook, Instagram, uh TikTok, YouTube, Spotify.
Our merch site is a different site, but you can
(21:34):
still get there from our our main band page. So
puppet merch dot com is where you can purchase all
of your horsing year.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
We recently just got new hoodies in which is kind
of cool.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Unfortunately I don't have any with me to show you,
but it's basically just has the logo on the front
of the hoodie.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Nice. Nice.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I bet you have some badass merch and people can't
like listen to my show anymore unless they buy your merch.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Well, people, the real items, to say the least, all
of my wife. My wife came up with.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
We have these like little voodoo dolls that come with
their own pins and needles and stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
We have.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
We have something that's called the serial Killer Archives, which
is a box that's filled with uh like that kinetic
sand stuff and inside the kinetic sand we have these
usb I actually have one here. Unfortunately I don't have
the bottom on it, but we have these USB's that
look like coffins.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Oh wow, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It had Yeah, it has the old band name on it,
but it's got two full albums on it. But when
you open up the box, there's a shovel on there
in a headstone. You have to dig the USB out
of the dirt.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
I love see that's creativity.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Like that brings me back because I think it's stuff
like that that kids are missing out nowadays with albums,
you know, because like I remember being a kid and
getting buying love gun, and that was when the popper
things in school were very popular. You would make these
paper popper things. Yeah, and they made the Kiss made
(23:01):
a love gun. That was one of those poppers. But
it was the Kiss love gun. And you know, of
course you could get into trouble in school because you
were using school and you know, but he used to
love Like I'd buy albums and there would be gifts
in there sometimes, or like I got really into the
(23:22):
Beatles because of the nineteen sixty nine radio show that
Paul McCartney was dead and you had to buy all
the albums to get the clues. So I bought every
Beatles album to check out the clues and play the
album backwards.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
And all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
You know, kids don't get to do that cool stuff anymore,
you know about it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I remember when I was like a kid in the
nineties when CDs became a thing, like half the fun
was buying the CD of your favorite band or whatever,
and then there would be like hidden tracks on it.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Yeah, totally, totally or like that.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
When Motley Cruz came out with the first album, there
were only like I think there were only like thirty
copies of the original which had a real zipper on
the cover, like a real working zipper like you see
it in the picture now, but actually and it was like, wow,
that's so cool to have that, you know.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
And like I.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Remember one of tools CDs had like a magnifying glass.
It had like it was I forget which album, but
it was black. I still have it black folds over
and it had like a little magnifying glass in the
CD cover.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
It was wild. So like I think we need to
go back to that.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
It's like kind of it's kind of like if you
had happy meals at McDonald's without toys, it's not as
much fun.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
And it's weird though too, because like even when this
band first started, still would have physical copies of things,
But now when we buy physical copies of things, we
buy like way less now because with all the digital
agent where and everybody just goes you know, they'll stream
it right away or I'll just get it off of
iTunes this side or the other. But like we did
Vinyl recently for our last EP No. Two EPs ago,
(25:17):
Beyond the Veil, and I mean we sold quite a
bit because there's a big resurgence in vinyl, which is
kind of cool. But we're still sitting on media, just
sitting on it. You know, nobody buys physics.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
It's it's hard, man, yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
And you know what's interesting about vinyl now, I just
found this out recently. I was taking my granddaughter to
get a holiday gift and she wanted a record album.
Like two of my grandkids are total record collectors, so
I think that's so cool. And I remember looking at
(25:56):
the price, I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? It
was like thirty six dollars for an album. I still
have albums that still have the price tag on them
at home, at say like two ninety nine for like something.
I have an album by Death that was two ninety nine.
Like I've exploited albums that were like two and three dollars,
(26:20):
you know, stuff like that I think I have a
bathroom album.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
That was ninety nine cents. Yeah, like yeah, anymore right exactly?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
And I bought them because listen, you couldn't hear what
it sounded like. It was like, okay for ninety nine
cents for two dollars, I don't give a crap if
I don't like it, and the album looks cool, right,
Like would you do that today?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Kid?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Go buy a thirty dollars album with not knowing though
it sounded like I don't even know how to go
to gigs today, to be honest, Like I went to
see Metallica where I paid two bucks for a ticket
and five bucks for a shirt, Like.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
I don't know how kids can even go to a
show today.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, I mean ticket prices are pretty high. Yeah, merch
merch nowadays.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I mean it's I'm all for the merch though, because
it's the only way you guys make money. Like, I
think a lot of people don't realize that, so I
make a big deal about I was joking about not listening,
but I wasn't really either, because it's like, you know,
it's the only way you guys make money. You're Pete
The days of the rock star getting these massive amounts
(27:25):
of money and drugs is totally over okay, Like.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
You guys have to work your ass.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Off, okay, And I just think you know, you guys
deserve to make a living. You're working hard. And when
people say, oh, they should just blow up.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Do you work for free? Is what I say to them,
Like it is. It is what you need to make
a living.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
So support bands buy their merch, especially horror sing because again,
can't listen to my show unless you buy their merchant.
They probably have cool cools merch out You're gonna love
for ever, so just get it right.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
We have cough we have coff and keychains too. I mean,
who doesn't want a cough and key chair exactly?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
You know that that's beautiful. I love it. Well.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Thanks a lot for giving us great music, and thanks
for being on the Adventures of play Man.
