(01:11):
one of the nicest guys in fuckingmetal dude, okay, and no reason
not to be. You know,listen, I love it your energy,
Like even before I was watching youwith everybody, and it's like I think
listeners should notice about people that likethey're real people. People up there on
stage are real people, and you'rejust like cool, you know, it's
(01:32):
like no ego, no nothing,just you're like one of the most humble
too, like and what a badassvoice. Oh thank you. I I
genuinely enjoy people. I enjoy presslike I'd love doing stuff like this.
I feel lucky to be in thisenvironment just in general, and so any
opportunity is a is a cool momentfor me. Man. Yeah, and
(01:53):
see that's a great attitude because sometimespress can't be too fun for an artist
like you, especially if you havelike thirty interviews one after another, like,
but your energy still stays the same, and that's what's cool. I
think that the gratitude is the keyto a happy life. Yes, And
when you start to try it andact that way, wake up, choose
(02:14):
gratitude of the morning, that becomesyour natural brain path. Yeah, and
you become a happier person. AndI mean I just I genuinely, from
the bottom of my heart, amexcited to be sitting here doing this interview
with you. You know, Ilove it, and you know you hit
it on a key that's big forme. It's waking up in the morning
like that sets the tone for theday. So if you put yourself in
(02:34):
that mindset from the beginning of day, the rest of the day is so.
Tell us about the new album,Remade in Misery. I mean,
in my opinion, and it's avery strong opinion, I think that this
is the best Memphis may Fire albumof all time. We have had a
lot of success with it. Radiois caught onto it. You know,
our original fan base from way backin the day they love it too,
and it's been so awesome to seethose worlds come together in such a beautiful
(02:59):
way. You know, our showsnow we have fifteen year old girls and
we have fifty five year old guys, and like the crowd gets along name
mix. They're all just thankful forthe music and to be in that environment.
And man, our shows, theyreally feel like a place where people
that don't feel like they belong somewhereall belong somewhere that night, you know,
and it is such a beautiful thing. That's a cool thing about metal
(03:21):
because like everybody's included, and especiallynowadays, like when I was a teenager,
you didn't have this mix of peopleat metal shows that you have now,
like you were just describing, Ithink it's phenomenal. It's so cool,
man. I mean, it's definitelybecoming a thing, and it's just
been like being here today, it'sso wild. It's going to be so
awesome. And see that's a goodthing too. If you're gonna be in
(03:43):
this business, Yeah, you gottahave an energy like you because otherwise it's
no fun. If you're not havingfun, it's I mean, yeah,
I know a lot of guys andsometimes, man, you got you gotta
also remember that, like different people'sanxieties get in the way of them being
able to enjoy things. And yeah, you gotta grace for people that are
struggling with those kind of things.But for me, I'm just trying so
hard to just live in in themoment, be present, stay excited,
(04:06):
like look and actually see what's happeningin front of you because it goes by
in the blink of an eye.Who knows if we ever gets to do
another Rockville again. And it's justit's awesome. It's a cool time.
And meanwhile, you're gonna be doing, as usual a bunch of DWP festivals
this year that I'm gonna catch yourset at every one of the one type
of things. So you'll be atink, you'll be a louder, you'll
be an aftershock. I mean,that's a pretty killer. It's gonna be
(04:29):
so sick, dude. Yeah,excited, Which is your favorite of all
the DWP festivals? That's kind oflike picking a favorite kid, But I
genuinely, if I could, Iwould just be I would tell you straight
up, but I can't. Imean, they're all so special in their
own right, and they're all sopowerful and so massive. It's there's no
way it is true. Because thereare certain things I pick for each festival
(04:51):
like this one, like playing inthe Daytona Speedway. That's I mean,
that's amazing. You know. Iwas telling a lot people this weekend.
Okay, So I have a brotherthat he doesn't give two craps about a
and the festivals that I do.Like if I text them, you know,
pictures or stuff, he doesn't respond. The other night, I text
(05:12):
them, I'm driving on the DaytonaSpeedway. Two seconds He's like, send
picks. Yeah, you know,it's just iconic to be here, man,
it is so cool. Yeah.When they picked me up from my
uber, they drove me around onthe track and yeah, like this is
where you know, like Dale Senior, you know, a bit to dust
and like all this stuff. Thisis so crazy to just be in it,
(05:32):
dude. You know it's wild inperson too, Like it's one thing
looking at it on TV and thenbeing on the track itself. And I
didn't know until today, you know, Like I don't watch a lot of
Nascar. I think it's really rad, but I've just never like devoted my
time to it. But I didn'tknow that the track is so slanted,
like so slant, right, that'swhat everybody's saying. Couldn't even stand on
(05:54):
it if you wanted to, youknow, you fall over. So it's
like, and they're telling me overthere, like you guys to be going
like at least fifty miles an hourotherwise your car will literally topple. So
crazy diss that they're ripping on thatangle. Yeah, I felt the same
thing. I was on there.I have a jeep and I live in
South far So I drove up hereand I was driving on and I'm like,
(06:14):
yeah, I would roll in twoseconds on that hill man. Yeah,
it doesn't even look like that ifyou watch on TV, it just
looks like a normal thing. Andthen it's like you're looking at when you're
standing there, like, holy crap, how are they driving on that?
Yeah? Oh my god. Andthen ink that's another one of my favorite
venues, like Shaws Shank prison.Oh yeah, oh my god, I
(06:36):
me too. So just to bethere will be really iconic, you know,
you know, it's funny. Idon't know if I ever told you,
but like my youngest story, she'salways every festival I'm doing, she's
like, so you excited, andI'm like, I don't know if it
excites a word. I always loveddoing it. It's great and all that.
Yeah, And then one time Iand the first time I did ink,
I called her up. I'm like, I'm sitting in the prison yard
(06:58):
of Shaws sank Now I'm excited.Oh my gosh, I mean like that,
that's like a childhood memory for me, that movie, you know what
I mean, and how powerful itwas, and to be able to be
in that area that's going to bejust a wild experience. Oh yeah,

Oh, I love it. Ican't wait to be there and tell me
the album you think it's your best? Okay, undeniably our best album yet.
(08:01):
Pick a couple elements that make youfeel that way. What is different
about this one than previous ones thatmake you feel good? Well, you
know, like we in the past, we've felt inspired to go in different
directions, and when we've done so, we've gone so far in that direction
that we feel like we lose touchwith fans that have been with us from
the beginning. Yeah, and thisalbum is such a it's such a perfect
(08:24):
mixture of all of the different flavorsof Memphis May Fire. Which we have
our radio songs, we have ourheavy songs, we have our ballads,
you know, like the whole nineis in this record, and so if
I could, like if people weren'tgoing to get tired of it, but
they do, you know, naturally, Like I would tour this record for
five years, you know. Nice, It's been so much fun. The
response is insane. You'll see tonightthat there are songs on our new record
(08:46):
that have a significantly bigger response thanany of our old songs that people really
caught onto. Wow, amazing,dude, really is. I can't wait,
Like you're my last interview, soawesome, I'm ready. I can't
I can't book any interviews during yourset, you know. And the one
thing I really love is talking aboutagain about your energy and how positive you
(09:09):
are. You know. I thinkthere's always a misconception when it comes to
metal and rock and that they hearyou're like on and they think it's supposed
to be something that's evil, bad, negative, the exact opposite. It's
always the opposite. Man. I'vemet people in like, you know,
pop music world that are just soawful, right, and then you know,
(09:33):
like hang out with people that tothe general public they think that they're
like demonic or whatever, and they'rejust the sweetest sweethearts. It's like,
don't judge a book by its coverand get to know somebody. If you're
gonna have an opinion on them,that'd be my advice, you know.
And they definitely need to get toknow you because you are not only an
amazing musician, vocalists, just everythingbut human being. Thank you so much,
(09:58):
