Never when we used to run
All those bridges you and I've built
Then the days I've never knew
We are dreams, I shall leave the sky
All too fast the gears come

The world has something wrong
Just listen to what the wilds they say
Woah

We're gonna do some new stuff, and then top of the hour we will get into that.
Wayne Stokeley interview of Prophet's of addiction, very cool stuff.

(32:59):
In that interview, might want to tell your friends and no tell two friends.
Anyways, my boys and truck stop coming out of West Virginia.
Bring it in again, what a brand new single called you better run.
It just came out a thousand times day, how appropriate you better run.
Anyways, then I got some brand new going short.

(33:22):
With heavy metal addicts, diamond dogs, and creased Chris Spitting with King of Rock and Roll.
Very rock and rollish, man.
Definitely old school, and I'm waking it.
I noticed more and more bands are going back to that old school vibe.
So, I got some more nation coming up with their brand new single Julia.

(33:48):
Love this noise, and some brand new crazy licks for you who said Rock and Roll is dead.
Not me.
Anyway, give it to Dan Lock on Rock and On.
Right here, on the metal shop, on the one, here's truck stop.
You better run.
And the sourness of the needle, and you're in hard to the through the rusty shit.

(34:18):
Hey, while you're out there crack a beer.
Hell yeah, Jerry.
Hey, this is nasty from truck stop.
Crack at beer for me.
Listen to Doc Rock's metal shop 101, get hammered boys.
**says later one Kia think about the fight!
C'mon.

(34:40):
**

...put us the attack!
I'll dreaming about it, Spain!
Street train for the Lord, my son will keep.
If I die before I wake you my girl would fall away
If I meet Allah, tell some thought they could not

(35:02):
You better run, now they're in your room
Crawling close to you, caring voices, Mary soon
Don't you think that the life fucking room
There's like so we're dead laughing in my fucking head
Something time just can't forget
On tours and fall, let's listen to the thunder rags
They come to fire, they come to die
And they scratch my eyes out, they're jumping long
We got a call, they come to die

(35:24):
And they scratch my eyes out, they're jumping in my
They're jumping blind, they're jumping blind
They scratch my eyes out, they're jumping long
We got a call, they come to die
So we're fighting forever
The life is fucked with so much of a tree
But that's for me, we're always seeing
And you under this taking hold, better you take it
And some control, can't be in the alley

(35:46):
You up now, you're blind to stop her up
Fall away, it's the fall of sleep
Watch the devil try to see
All the other in your room
They're crawling close to you, screaming
Voice is very sad, no matter the life fucking room
They're always like so we're dead laughing in my fucking head
Something time just can't forget
On tours and fall, let's listen to the thunder rags
They come to fire, they come to die
And they scratch my eyes out, they're jumping long

(36:09):
We got a call, they come to die
And they scratch my eyes out, they're jumping blind
They're jumping blind, they're jumping blind
They scratch my eyes out, they're jumping long
We got a call, they come to die
So sleep forever, I'm a darling

Cause I can see the eyes of a wonder what's right, me
Zehly, wake us to all four strike us
I took a bow, throw so terrible try me on

(37:51):
You better run
Take your time, take it up for me
Take your time, take your time, take your time
Take your time, take your time with me
What can I tell me, take your time, take your time
Take your time, take your time to sleep

We have a lot of bands in common, which was I thought was pretty awesome
Someone once I mentioned he liked and it was like, oh, you know that guy's
But first I'm gonna play you, profit some addiction, let's get high
Which we talk about in the interview and it's not what you think it's about

(57:33):
It's like in high off music, so if you get a chance to check out the video, go check it out
Because it's very old school 80s, it brought back flashbacks to me because I felt just like a kid that's in there
And I used to do that all the time, so you're gonna get a check out the video and see what I'm talking about

(57:55):
So, nothing to talk and there's Mr. Wayne Stoopley, profit of addiction, this is let's get high
And then coming out, I will play you, they're version of Maggie May, by Rudd Stewart, which I think they did an incredible cover on
And we talked about that in the interview also

(58:16):
So keep it tuned in, lock down a rockin' on
Right here, on the metal shop on a one
Hey, what's up guys, this is Wayne Stoopley from Profits of the Diction, and you've got it turned into dark rocks, metal shop 101

(59:21):
Keep it time, it's a sound that'll warn you, I got no worse, it'll get right
It's a sound that'll warn us, it'll record, drop the needle down, let's get high
Let's get high, oh let's get high

(59:45):
Let's get high, fill my head, keep inside
It's a sound that'll warn you, still unheard, but I've got time
It's a sound that'll warn us, it'll record, drop the needle down, let's get high

(01:00:11):
Let's get high, oh let's get high
I've waited for six, a lot of time for you to come into my world, shake me away, the new release

(01:00:50):
This game, so let's get high

(01:01:21):
I don't skip the record, drop the needle down, let's get high
So let's get high, let's get high
Oh, yeah, let's get high, let's get high

(01:01:46):
Let's get high, let's get high, oh let's get high
Let's get high, let's get high
Let's get high, let's get high

(01:02:09):
The rock and the show, wean's stoked me, the drummer of Prophets of Addiction
I'm doing good, man, thanks for having me
So let's go back a little bit, what inspired you to become a drummer?
Wow, from the earliest thing I can remember, I'm 45, so I was 4 when I saw the video for Jump from Ben Hayland on MTV

(01:02:36):
And I just think we remember that moment is being the deciding factor, that's what I want to do
And I'm not sure why it was the drums, but there was just something about that that drew me the journey
And it's basically been a lifelong obsession ever since that moment
Right, well the Van Hayland's had Van Hayland had a lot of inspiration on a lot of people

(01:03:03):
And so that's the weird thing about it, I don't know what, what in my mind, most people naturally would have gravitated toward Eddie in the guitar
Or Dave, or you know, and for some reason for me it was a drums
And you also play for William Axe, and you have another band too
And then, William Axe, proper subidictions, I have a kind of European style power metal band called Impedero Rising that I've been in since 2012 that me and the singer started who

(01:03:34):
The vocalist Travis is also now in Crimson Glory, and then I have a kind of rock and roll band around Dallas, called Planet Size Ego, so quite busy
Yeah, keep you going
Yeah, all right, let's talk, profits of addiction, all right, based the music, CD just came out, what last year

(01:03:56):
And it's been pretty well received, I mean you guys have kept it kind of like an old school 70s rock and roll with some 80s glam in it
And a little bit of essence of pumpkin, I mean was that planned to do that?
It's a perfect description, yeah, when we went into do this record, we actually started writing songs for this probably back in 2016

(01:04:25):
And then just you know, all kinds of things happen, life happens, pandemics happen, people get busy and so it kind of took a wild, you know, especially with all the different projects
And when we got to, when Leslie got the songs finalized and it was probably trying to think time like you're probably 2021 when the light was 12 to 15 songs finalized

(01:04:53):
That's when we had to discussion of, all right, we're going to go into this record and the goal was to like
Remember the goal was to if this is the last record, this band ever makes like making the exact record you always wanted to make sound wise
Like spending the money on the studio on the producer, so you know we went in at the count's compound and Las Vegas was Phil seuson producing

(01:05:21):
And you know, spend a lot of money on it and it, and when we got the basic tracks back, it came out, I remember thinking it came out a little slicker
Then we may have originally intended, you know, because the first two records have definitely more of a punk or a street kind of rock and roll vibe

(01:05:44):
Right, but I also remember we decided that they really liked that sound, so the goal was to make a like a classic 70s type real rock and roll record for the modern times
Right, if that makes any sense at all, you know, yeah, and of course that there's still a bit of the 80s influence in there and like the Hanaway rocks and that kind of stuff

(01:06:08):
You know, a lot of people are saying, oh, you made a hair metal record and it's like, no, not really, yeah
Yeah, I've noticed too doing what I do, I've noticed a lot of bands lately are going back to that old school 70s rock and roll vibe, I mean, have you noticed that

(01:06:29):
I've probably had, well, I've noticed it as far as bands that have come across my radar like dirty hunting or the struts or stuff like that
And I've also seen a shift of going back to more real type productions, right, you know, more like more like guys playing in a room instead of, you know,

(01:06:54):
especially coming from the metal roll where it's everyone's got the same drum sound, everyone's using this fake guitar process or you know, and records all start to sound the same
And then our ears get trained to expect those fake sounds as normal, right, you know, you know, I think it's regarding back a little bit

(01:07:15):
Right, because I, I've noticed, I mean, I do with, you know, somebody bands, but the thing is is I've noticed like there's a band out there, I think they're called Red Voodoo
And they're going back to that old school 70s.
Is that that hand, Frank Han, it was working with us.
I think so it might be yeah. Yeah.
But it's, you know, I think that's what the music scene needs is this big jump start and you guys really brought it with this album.

(01:07:44):
You know, so thank you. Yeah, we, we, we collectively we thought the songs were good
And we took the time where you know, I remember the phrase going around a lot was, you know, we just had to get right don't rush it get it right.
Right. And so we took the, we took the steps to do that, you know, and now that that mine said is going into, you know, we haven't played live yet since the record came out.

(01:08:10):
It's like, well, we're, we're waiting on the right, overturning the industry, just going out there and throwing something together.
Right. So it's all kind of meticulous in that aspect of it. So I got to ask how, how was it working with Phil.
All that was great.
Let's see it known Phil for quite a while back in the late 90s, early 2000s, and Hollywood, him and Chad are League of Charple.

(01:08:37):
And he had a band called Sea Girls Boys, right. It was kind of like a glam punky rock and roll band and they had met Phil and Phil has been producing everything.
Leslie's done since that time because he just likes to songs in his voice. So right.
I didn't know Phil going into it other than, you know, knowing who Phil is obviously, but he was, he was great to work with. He's not, he's not the kind of overbearing type producer.

(01:09:04):
You know, he would be, you know, we get most of the drums.
I say, I don't think there's probably more than three takes on any of them and he would just be like, well, you know if that was good or not.
You know, I don't mean to tell you, you do it 20 times.
But he really helped with in the arrangements.
I remember a couple of times where we would have, you know, we would have discussions on, you know, how long this is part need to go.

(01:09:32):
I view that as a course versus a verse or whatever and Phil would come in.
Pick up a bass or a guitar and say, well, let's try this and throw a bunch of different arrangements around in most nine times out of ten he was dead on correct.
So it was the first time I'd ever really worked with someone in that kind of producer capacity, right.
What are actually contributing to how the, how the arrangements and the songs are turning out.

(01:09:57):
So that was very cool.
Right. And would you guys keep in it like 80s old school rock and roll?
The song let's get high. I was watching the video for it. And you guys, I mean, from the time I kid rise up on a bicycle to the record store, it brought back like flashbacks to me.

(01:10:20):
Because that's the way it was back in a day and it was a death room and a scour would pose.
It was definitely the goal and with all of us being spread out over the country.
So we're not really just able to get together to do all these videos. So we're like, okay, well, what can we do with using technology and of course we all have green screens and stuff together.

(01:10:45):
You know, what can we do to make something cool and me and me and Leslie were discussing, you know, what if we had this kind of plot with the kid and the whole, you know,
trying to tell the whole story in three minutes and 15 seconds or whatever, but it also trying to make it look like if you turned on MTV in 1985, what would the video for this song look like?

(01:11:10):
Right.
You know, because everybody's just doing straight performance stuff now or using tons of special effects, but it was like back in the day, you know, I think the videos like the right to rock by keel and stuff like that were they told this little stuff.
Right.
You know, going through the song where they're ready and it wasn't just a band playing, so that was the goal for that.

(01:11:32):
And the song, let's get high, is about them days. I mean, listening to the record on the front table and all that stuff.
Yeah, it's about it's not getting high up in music, you know, right exactly.
And the thing is, is this generation will never know that you know what I'm saying? They'll never know what it's like to run down to a record store and grab that record one.

(01:11:59):
It's out.
Yeah, there's a handful of them that are into it.
I don't know if they're into it like we were into it or if they're into it because it's the kind of hit thing to a vinyl's kind of back.
You know, right, but I don't know if they're going home and going to the day. Yeah, I don't know if they're going home and reading every word on the record sleeve and accessing over every little thing.

(01:12:22):
You know, like it's the most important thing in the world like we all used to.
Yeah.
But you know, I come from an era. I can remember.
I can remember being in third grade and getting a $10 allowance every day.
And I can distinctly remember when night songs from Cinderella came out.
And that was going to be the one record I got with that allowance.

(01:12:43):
And it's like you worship that thing. Oh, yes.
It was in every song over and over read every lyric and writer note.
And now I have every record in the world on the phone that I'm talking to you on now.
Did.
So how can you possibly appreciate it as much when it's just when it's already available any time you want.

(01:13:04):
You know, right.
And you guys also covered Roger Stewart's Maggie May.
Yeah, that's a funny story.
Let's get in. So because I think it's a funny like I love it.
I think it's awesome.
I play it a lot.
I'm finding that people either love it or they've made it and think it's a plus.

(01:13:25):
I mean, I thought that was going to be the case.
And going into that, we knew we were going to cover the song.
And we knew we wanted to make it a little faster and we wanted to make it.
Kind of like like a punk rock kind of version of the song.
Right.
But we made a mistake when we were tracking it.
And we forgot to tune it down a step.

(01:13:48):
So Leslie could easily sing over it.
And the key of the other songs.
So we were the whole bed of the track was done before we realized that when we were mixing it before
Leslie did the vocal so rock art would just go scream over it and do the best you can.
And he went and cut the vocal.
And when I first heard the demo of the vocal, I did not know if I liked it or not.

(01:14:13):
Still like it immediately.
Right.
And after listening to a couple of times, I was like, okay, no, this is great.
Because if you really listen to the track, the music underneath it is pretty spot on with the original.
It's faster.
It's a little chunk.
You're pretty clean.
Right.
And you had this screaming punk rock vocal over the top of it.
You know, and I remember telling the guys, people were going to love this and they're going to hate it.

(01:14:38):
But that's perfect.
You know, leave it like, leave it.
It's perfect.
Guys, it is.
So I grew to like it.
Some people still know like it.
Some people love it.
I love it.
I mean, when I first got it in here through the studio, I was like, what's this?
And I see Maggie May because that's like one of my favorite rock steward songs.
I think it is.
Yeah, a lot of people.
And I'm like, wait, wait, what's this?

(01:14:59):
And I played it.
I'm like, whoa, I really like this.
Awesome.
I remember playing it for a buddy of mine that's a journalist in Austin.
And he's like, man, he has quote was, man, it takes a lot of balls to throw snout on a
classic song like that.
Awesome.
Like, right there.
Yeah.
We kind of knew we, you know, I, I, I did it.

(01:15:23):
People don't like it, but it's cool and people do like that.
Right.
Yeah.
I think it's pretty awesome.
Are you guys working on any live shows coming up for this album?
We are.
There's a handful of shows that we, it's coming down to the wire about a week or so that it might be announced opening for somebody big that.

(01:15:48):
Um,
you know, if it's our style, okay, if that doesn't happen, then we're kicking around the idea of maybe doing one or two shows, maybe something in Vegas or California Seattle to kind of kick it off.
And then we're, we're in context with a couple of bands of possibly going out for a few weeks or a month in the summer and opening for some well-known bands that are friends of ours.

(01:16:15):
Okay. We kind of did, we wanted to, we definitely wanted to open for somebody that's established even though we're not necessarily in new band to a lot of people we are, so we didn't think it.
Right.
And if it is to just go out on our own on a Tuesday night and play for 20 people, right now.
Right.
So we're kind of trying to, like I said, be the whole idea of the whole concept of the record was don't, don't pressure anything and do it right.

(01:16:42):
So now we're trying to apply that to the live aspect also.
Right.
But we'll definitely be getting out and playing Seniors and later we're just waiting for the good opportunity.
Right.
So you guys are working with Brave World, Brave, Brave Records.
Yeah. How's that working out for you?
Yeah.

(01:17:03):
It's bad. It's been great so far. I was already on Brave World's has lowly in acts, so we shop this record to a bunch of different people and the thing with Brave World's that we like is is,
and I'm sure everyone's noticed because the promo for the records everywhere is that they still promote the record after it's released.

(01:17:29):
So we've seen so many labels these days hype up a record released by songs and singles.
And then you forget that it even came out because you feel like it's already been out.
And after the Friday comes when the records release, there's no, it just, it's dead.
No one talks about it anymore.
And Brave World's is trying to, you know, do it the old school way where they keep the record out there.

(01:17:54):
They keep the singles coming and Michael Brandels are PR guy.
He's like, you know, anything, anything we get will promote, will promote this until you want to stop promoting.
Right.
You know, so we couldn't be, we couldn't be happier with the level of promo that it's getting.
The life that it seems to be getting.
And that's the way it should be. I mean, a lot of people, what events, you know, now days will post like, you know, on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, whatever.

(01:18:24):
And you know, hey, our album's all, and then that's the last year of it.
You know, yeah, you know, it's, it's whether we like it or not.
We're in a world where you have to be in people's spaces all the time every day.
Right.
You know, a lot of people don't want it.
Just, hey, I've got to film something on my phone talking about a song, but that's what it takes.

(01:18:48):
That's what people want.
Right.
I think it's super super crowded market. So people forget.
So always feel like like, you know, I'm old school.
I don't like the game necessarily.
Some aspects of it, but you either adapt to it or you get left behind.
Right. Exactly.
You know, so being older people trying to navigate and figure out the social media landscape is definitely challenging.

(01:19:15):
But it's something you gotta do.
You know, I can agree with you there. I still have that.
Yeah.
I like, I like every day trying to come up with things.
And like, how do these kids do it?
How do they get these?
I know.
You're gonna have like a 16 year old in your back pocket because they know it.
I know.
A lot of it.
You know, it's worth older people were like, what?

(01:19:38):
I remember really researching at one point about five years ago and looking at all this stuff.
But we'll give you a push at this time, this time and he's to have this.
I'm like, man, I don't know.
I just as too much for me.
It's like this is like a scientific theory on how to do this.
You know, it's crazy.

(01:19:59):
So is there anything new coming off for Louis and Axe and your other band?
Well, Louis and just went into the studio to start work on the new record.
We went in a couple of weeks ago and we laid the basic tracks down for the first three songs.
We're going to be doing it.

(01:20:20):
And just going to be 10 songs.
We're doing it in two three song increments and then a four song increment.
And Steve and I believe Sam are going back this weekend to finish up like little bells and whistles and guitar solos.
And Bert, I'll come in and cut the vocals and we'll move on to the next three.

(01:20:43):
So it'll probably be finished.
Mayor June.
You're at the Layout and Ag.
The goal is to come out this year or so.
But I would guess September.
I think it's going to label once it.
Yeah, so we just started that.
What about your other band, Infidel?
Infidel has about.

(01:21:04):
And this is the first step with our new guitar player Alan Daley on to your who's also on Hellstar.
And we're just we're kind of figuring out.
This we're all very busy.
Travis has a lot of stuff going on.
We're trying to figure out what we're going to do with the record.

(01:21:25):
Are we going to give it to a label or are we going to put it out ourselves?
So we're probably going to start floating out one or two songs online just to see what you just
engage with the interest level is and then go from there.
Okay.
Plan to size ego to abandon Dallas.
We've got a couple of.
We got about three songs demoed.

(01:21:48):
We're going to start throwing out on like band camp or online just see what happens with that.
That's not a.
It's not like a.
We're not looking for a label or anything for that right now.
We're just kind of having fun around town, but the songs are really good.
So we're going to be dipping it and putting out there and see what people think.
I will have to check that out.
I'm so interesting.
Awesome.
So I won't hold you up too much longer.

(01:22:11):
I got one more question for you.
What advice would you give or inspiring musicians to want to follow your footsteps?
I want to say quit but quit don't want to say quit.
That's the. That's the stock funny answer.
Yeah.
Now aspiring musicians in 2025 at the state that things are in now is just if you love it, do it.

(01:22:35):
Don't expect anything from it.
Don't expect to make a living.
Don't even expect to make a penny.
Right.
If you can if you can do that because it's in you to do it.
You enjoy it and you're not doing it for any other superficial reason that you're a love of the world.
And you're a love of the music and wanting people to like the songs and do it for.

(01:22:56):
You know, but if you if you do it for if you're doing it for the wrong reason you're not going to last right.
And today's music or you're just not you're going to be done in a week.
You know, because chances chances are you're not going to quote unquote make it whatever that even means chances are you're not going to get paid.
I mean you can get paid to play other people songs.

(01:23:18):
You know, but if you're trying to if you're doing a rich on music and it's really in you and you can't see yourself doing anything else and go for it because that's that to me is what it's about.
Right.
You know, not about not certainly not about money because there's not a lot of that, you know, unless you get real lucky.
Right.

(01:23:39):
And you know, you just you just you have to not care.
You just have to not care.
Right.
And now and the thing is it's not like it was back in the day.
I mean, you know, nowadays, you know, you guys were tired back in 80s and all that stuff playing and you got still to.
But with the technology changing the way it has, you know, now you have AI coming in play.

(01:24:05):
It's I don't know.
And everything's on a streaming platform.
Yeah.
It's it's you know, there's no gatekeepers per se anymore.
It's all free people just saying, you know, I had this funny thing I say of, you know, it's nobody thinks twice about just stealing your music and listening to it on the internet.
But not once if I ever seen anybody walk up to our merch, because of the show and just take a CD and walk off.

(01:24:31):
Right.
So at some point, they know it's not free.
Yeah, but it's like, you know, I try to push for you artist all the time, you know, go by the merch pick up the CD by the vinyl.
Whatever, because I mean, you guys work hard.
You guys work your tails off to, you know, bring, bring the world great music.

(01:24:55):
And yet, you know, you know, the last, the last West Coast run we just did with Lily and Girl School in Alcatraz.
We were in the van for 9,000 miles for three weeks with very few days off and sometimes eight hour nine hour gods on show gay.
Right.

(01:25:16):
And the amount of money we came home with would have stoned you and not in a good way.
Right.
Exactly.
You know, it most people would not believe it.
It's it's basically almost nothing, you know, but that's that can't be, it can't be.
You know, there's things that factor in your economy's terrible right now.
We could everybody gets that stuff.

(01:25:37):
Right.
You know, and there's a lot of bands out there, but that's fine.
You know, sometimes when you when bands here comments from people like,
Oh, I would have came out, but you know, it was a Tuesday and I would have been up an extra hour.
And the band is thinking, okay, well, you know, we drove eight hours to get there today.
We loaded in ourselves.

(01:25:59):
That one crew member.
Sorry, not sorry, not getting that extra hour asleep.
We kill you.
Right.
Exactly.
And now it's like, you know, us die hards.
You know, we go out in the middle of the week, come home with two three clock
in a morning after soon.
And get over and go to work in six.
Right.

(01:26:20):
And that's really, you do it for, you know, I played in.
I was having this conversation.
I got with somebody I played in.
I played in a bunch of me to be banned in a couple others just for fun and for money and stuff.
And it's like I played in front of an 18,000 seats sold out.
Ampathy at her plan bond joe songs.
Right.

(01:26:41):
And with people going nuts, but I would rather and I'm not knocking that.
I mean, it's it's great fun.
You get treated well.
You make a lot of money.
I'm not knocking that world.
They're certainly obviously there's a market to justifies this existence.
You know, right.
It's the thousandth of yours.
But if you, you know, gun to my head, I would rather play in front of 50 people that knew my songs.

(01:27:04):
Right.
You know, that were passionate about it.
Then playing for know, 15,000 people were just kind of a, you know,
background music by product.
You know, so that's that's really what you have to do it for.
You know, I got into it because I wanted to be a part of songs that like reach people how songs reach me.
Right.

(01:27:25):
So that's that's why that's why.
And you and I like to think the other still people that are in it for a long time that it's kind of their job.
But I like to think that that's why people, you know, one most people still do it because
And the rock world pops success is not in, you know, there's no carrot at the end of the,
Into the string like they're used to be right.

(01:27:47):
Well, to see that's the thing too.
I noticed, you know, like with FM radio,
they keep playing the same songs over and over.
Now don't get me wrong.
The 80s was a history changing time.
You know, with all the bands coming up back and, but the thing is they keep playing them over and over and over.
It's all the same thing.

(01:28:08):
And that's why I do what I do is because to get the new music out there, you know,
the people need to hear, you know, profit of addiction.
You know, whatever it may be, you know,
Yeah, we were talking, we had had the opportunity to, you know,

(01:28:29):
Somebody came to us and was like, hey, we want to shop this to radio.
And I'm like, I don't even know what that means now.
Right.
I have no idea.
Is it an internet radio?
I don't know.
I mean, Dallas, we have barely a top 40 rock station left.
Right.
And it's in term, I don't listen to, I'm out of listen to music radio and ears.

(01:28:53):
I'm probably out of touch, but I don't think they're playing a lot of new stuff.
No.
You know, I don't even really know how you would get your music on FM radio to try to break something without spending half a million dollars.
Right.
You know what?
I mean, that's how that stuff works.
And people don't realize that that's how it works now.

(01:29:17):
And so I don't even know how,
It's somebody was telling me about, well, you have to get on Spotify, play it.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's, it's, I don't support it.
It's so funny.
It's so funny.
I just start saying, okay, well, you know, how do you find it?
You know,
I have had friends of mine that have put records out that they're like,

(01:29:39):
we're not putting it on streaming services. We're going to make people buy it.
And then I'm like, well, did that work?
And they're like, kind of worked.
We kind of made, you know, like, we made more money, but less people heard it.
And I'm like, yeah, I know, I just, so, so weird right now.
Right.
But it's never going back.
Right.
Now, I think it's only going to get worse.

(01:30:01):
Yeah.
All right, Wayne, thanks for coming on to show me that greatly appreciate it.
And you tell the people where they can get the album at profit addiction,
face the music.
You can obviously, you can stream the record everywhere.
But you can, you can go.
It's in. It just came out that this score release just came out.

(01:30:22):
It's basically, we got a list of the record stores.
There's like two thousand of them.
So I'm guessing that that's basically almost every record store in the country.
Okay.
As of a week ago, so, but if not, it's on, you know,
it's on Amazon, it's on you can go to profits of addiction.com and get it directly from our website.

You kill it.
You kill it.
You kill it.
You kill it.
You kill it.
You kill it.
You kill it.

(01:38:19):
You kill it.
Until you chew.
You let it rest.
When you win my heart.
So what's I?
Never going to let go.

(01:38:43):
When they're going to win our whole.
You rip my heart into.
Something I never wanted to.
And I've heard in you.
And I did see my hate it.
I'm always regretting.
I didn't know the gun was over.
And I didn't see the smell.

(01:39:10):
Heaven knew that it was over.
Until you chew.
You let it rest.
When you win my heart.
So what's I?
Never going to let go.

(01:39:31):
Never knew that it was over.
Until you chew.
You let it rest.
When you win my heart.
So what's I?
Never going to let go.

(01:39:52):
Oh, no, no, no.
No, that's not a question,
looking into one of the other avenues.
畫stand our entire desires.
And that's not that you get it.
Break them.
Break them.
You know that's all you and some morse work are
Let's do good.
Make one.

(01:40:17):
Take them.
When I look on when I'm home,
I keep with my heart into
I'm feeling I never want you
And I've hurt in you
But I'm not here to remind my love
I'm here to forget
I didn't know the good ones

(01:40:38):
Love would end in the sea the trend
I'm here to forget
Ever knew that it was over
I'm just getting you
Your respect
O'er you in my arms so tight

(01:41:03):
Ever wanted to let go
Ever knew that it was over
I'm just getting you
Your respect
O'er you in my arms so tight

(01:41:25):
Ever want you in my arms so tight

(01:41:56):
You in my arms so tight
You in my arms so tight
You in my arms so tight
Ever knew that it was over

(01:42:20):
I'm just getting you
I'm getting you by and so tight
I'm getting you by and so tight
In the age of the blind
Is it voice alright

(01:42:41):
They're men and women's light
In the age of the blind
Is it voice alright
They're men and women's light
They're men and women's light
Doppler Scalms Up

(01:43:05):
Bi- ballistic
I'm just getting people
K Mod M cd
The world's world
The blood of the spread

(01:43:26):
Be to you, now
How can we find a way to make
How can we find a way to the cloud
All the way from the world
The age of the five

(01:43:48):
Is the most out of days
The moon in the drive
And the age of the five
Is the most out of life
The moon in the drive

(01:47:05):
And it's my life, it's my world
Will they end and follow you?
Here's my dream, here's my goal
But with this I am, will our eyes
Will I follow?
Can you see me in your grids, go home?
We're going to cut the fight
And there's more of madness
God bless their soul alive

(01:47:26):
I'll just come upon this
Bring me off, bring me on
Can you show me what is wrong?

(01:47:48):
Confidence, all my dreams
Dear vision, bring cognition, bring me down
Raise me up, share me me on
Take on vision, profitess
All my dreams, dear imagination
Bring cognition, so you come
Bring my heart, tell me your perfect shot

(01:48:15):
Is a dark, nice, but here's feeling like I'm falling
Give a sign, and my fears can't kill me calling
Find my faith, and be yes
Can you tell me if it's me?
If you hold me away, come to my senses
Tell my thoughts, it's late
Confidence, and my dreams, dear imagination

(01:48:37):
Bring my love, fade away
I'll just come upon this, just leave me here
Confidence, all my dreams

(01:48:58):
Dear vision, bring cognition, bring me down
Raise me up, share me me on
Can you see me in your grids, go home?
Giving me your free cognition, so you come
Bring my heart, tell me your perfect shot
Show me what is wrong?
For a good advice

(01:49:21):
Tell my thoughts, it's late
The only love is fatal
The only love is fatal
The only love is fatal
The only love is fatal
The only love is fatal

(01:49:58):
Through the stress, all my dreams, dear imagination
Bring cognition, bring me down
Raise me up, share me me on
Can you see my vision, brought me down
Through the stress, all my dreams
The animation free competition show you a fun free performance
Tell me your creativity show

(01:50:24):
Tell me your creativity show
This is killer from Storm the Crown
And you're listening to Dark Rock's Metal Shop
One, oh, one

(01:51:04):
The power of the
Broken by the blood
What the fuck did I say?
Your life
Now pop a dead

(01:51:26):
Let it suck your head, red bucket
They throw down the rain
They take me away from sight
