Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hy you have lunto Yes, that's true. Wow, crazy you.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Incarceration America's Rock, Metal and Tattoo Festival. It's pipe Man
here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y
Radio and I'm here.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
With Mitch Less. Oh Carls Fade.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Nice you're an incarceration, Like, thanks for coming to prison.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
It's I'm a person. Last time I hope in prison.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well yeah, well I don't know. I like coming to
this prison. Every year, fucking Shawshank Prison. Out Iconic Is
had to perform at Shawshank Prison.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
It was incredible being here.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
I will say the prison might have halted our gear
because it was all broken. We had no inner monitors,
no anything to change our patches and other was stuff
going on, but it was still a.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Blasket out there.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
But we had to kill unfortunately half of our set
with all the timing.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Which inmates did you piss off? Mitch?
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Sure, the one that did it, So you have to
answer that one. A little angel right here.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Because you know this it really is haunted for real.
I know. Yeah, we're taking a tour today.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Actually yeah, you won't know whether it's to get characters
or it's.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
A real ghost. Right when you go through it, and
then it's a fucking killer tour.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Twice I heard that you guys kicked asst So tell
our listeners who have never heard you guys or seen
you live, what they can expect from your live show
and how you had the artists describe your music well.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Barring today from all of this explanation, typically is the
great lap show. Lots of loud vocals, lots of cool
things on stage going on, and a lot of reminiscing.
Every time we go to a show now to play
it's the old forty year old dude and his fourteen
year old son at the show who was not even
considered when our songs came out to begin with. It's
(02:06):
fun to see the dynamics of I'm going to see
what dad loves and then them falling in love with
it too. So it's a it's really cool thing to
see still seeing some of the same people we saw
since four showing up at our shows. It's really cool, man,
and we're just thrilled to be back out at it.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
And I love that about today this world.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Like in the eighties when I was going to metal shows,
you didn't see people my age or your age at
the shows nor in the bands.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Like it blows my mind when I.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Go out there under these kids that are going to
shows for bands that are like forties, fifties, sixties or
like you look at back to the beginning and all
the kids out in the crowd for Ozzy. I mean, like,
I think it's a fucking phenomenal thing.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, so it seems to be a revival.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
A lot of early two thousand bands are kind of
crushing it right now. I know we're all here for
it because we're right there with them.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I think that's what the difference is, what you were
describing before. Like when I was a teenager, my dad
listened like Frank Sinatra or whatever, and he didn't understand
my music at.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
All, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But now it's like the adults that are listening to
the shit and then the kids are like brought into it.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
And I love that.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Yeah, Yeah, there's a yeah, there's a thing with music
and a period. All of us kind of grew up
on that early nineties crune sound and it kind of
shaped this band for sure, And I think it's always
going to be like that, just looking back and thinking
about all the other bands that kind of inspired you,
and hopefully we're still one of those bands for all
these new generation of Shredders growing up right now.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I think you are because when I talk to a
young man's they're always talking about the older bands, not
their contemporaries or just above them. It's like they're talking
about the eighties nineties bands, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
So what's now after incarceration? Well?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
I never know that, So I asked today and I
was told one thing, but they answered a different question
that I did not ask.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
So is it louder? Oh, louder than life? It's gonna
louder than light.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, see, I'll be down too, were cancer.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
We're actually playing Minnesota next week with Seven Dusts.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
For a festival up there.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Very cool.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And then then louder than life, right, louder than life?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yeah, it's louder than life Louisville.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yes, it's a great fucking festival and another Danny Wimmer festival.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Now that's why why I ask you. I asked all.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Artists, how does Danny Wimmer treat you guys as artists?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Awesome? Danny's the man.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
He's been great to us this entire time. Just putting
us on the bill is awesome. Just for us to
get out here for these shows to be the first
reunion comeback is amazing, is incredible experience. He definitely has
hooked us up. So it's been awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And it did blow your mind that you're out there
and there's this like sea of fucking people, especially it's
earlier in the day, and it's like, you don't expect that.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I didn't expect that.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I didn't think people would be out of the parking
lot or bed at that hour, you know, right first
when we did, there's probably thirty thousand people out there. Wow,
first show in twelve and a half thirteen years.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Does that blow your fucking mind? Or what? I love it?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It kind of confirms too why you should be back
right you know, and it makes you want to do
it more because you are unsure when you come back
after that long of a hiatus, like anybody even care anymore,
and now you know they do. So how do people
reach out to you guys on socials on the web
(05:49):
and check out all your tour dance music merch all that.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
