Chad Metal, of chug Metal, of of Monster energy, O
s T. We're talking about five figure death Punch Here

(00:33):
on metal.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
I feel like this music would be playing like at
a metal militia Evan right.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, okay, I gotta know.

Speaker 4 (01:11):

ten calories die.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
I wanna die, Okay, next, I want to die. We
weren't talking about, by the way, the one night Monster
on your draws.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Nothing, not the fars draws, drawers. I can't even say
that word. So today we're talking about five figure death Punch.
This is a band that I'm surprised we never touched on.
I always feel like we've touched on all the I.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Could have sworn we did, but I think we did
an album right from Nurse.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
At least I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Maybe it was just one of our drives. It was
a studio, it.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Was the pre seasons.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
It was before we started doing the playlist, it was
it was way before that. So I I've always been
curious because you know, I always see the hate the
five figure death punch gits from the metal community, and
we get that a little bit in our group too.
You know, there's always a little bit of like, oh, Tony,
you're running some five Finger death punchy shit, you know,
and all that fun stuff. But what I always saw

(02:14):
was interesting about Five Fingers that you know, we're a
lot of modern metal bands, like when there are more
thrash influenced or like in that kind of vein, they
always take more towards Metallica, where Five Fingers Zoltan is
very open about his Mega Death influences, which makes a
lot of sense. So I thought that they would appeal
more to you. So we're gonna be getting into this
conversation in just a minute. But before we get started,

(02:36):
I just want to remind you guys to subscribe to
us here on YouTube. Hit the notification. Does you all

where we're having with the boys. I guess you would
say we're having the boys.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
We are, we're not talking about the boy Iowa either.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, well, we're responding to bad TikTok comments. I thought
about doing that as like a full episode, but I
decided now we're just gonna do it straight on TikTok
like we've done it a couple of times and it's
it's always a blast. But at this point we I
feel bad for the two of you because Sleep Token,
the Sleep Token Army has come after my boys, Rudy

(03:15):
and Handro has comment for context myself and Alberta where
we're we're safe this round. But you guys, Fred fucking
trash that album, so you deserve all the hate you get.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
I feel like I didn't trash it. I just gave
my honest feelings about it.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Feeling correct.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Were the wrong wrong opinions? Opinion wrong opinions had that night.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
The wrong opinions were had, So uh, we are going
to be posting some kind of responses on TikTok, so

to introduce ourselves. We've been forgetting to do that. We
got to do the introductions.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
By sleep sleep not. I'm sorry, guys. In the middle
of this, my son is getting home from the babysitters
or from his best friend's house. He was spending the night,
and I think my wife is taking a nap. So
they're having a whole situation over there. That's okay because
I'm doing something more important right now. Meta ology.

Speaker 3 (04:49):

Speaker 1 (04:51):

Speaker 3 (04:55):
It's been a week, A long week.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Everything from you guys, don't follow m A john owns
official retiring. As of today, Donald Trump is sending us
into World War three.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Shit.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
But the best thing about this week was finding out
that Handra will be seeing Revocation for a second time
this year twenty five.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Crazy, Like I would have never saw that coming. I mean,
maybe I should have because they just announced their albums
coming out of September twenty six, I think, so yeah,
that meant immediate headlining tour is a must. And they're
coming to Break by Brick. Shout outs to Break by Brick.
I don't know. We shared the stage there as Defy

(05:32):
the Tyrants, So yeah, really excited to see them there. Dude.
They're fucking awesome. Like I said, open invitation, you know
where where I'll be.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
That's right, Why a second time? Any are they doing
something different?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
So I expect new songs. For example, they have a
new single out that came out just recently called Cronenberg
fucking really cool, like horror theme, like kind of like
shit going on. So I think I hope I hear
more songs played live. Also, when I saw them with
grogoblokon which me and Rudy by the way, went to
see recently, we caught like four songs from by Revocation, Like.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
It, I feel like it was a little bit more.
We definitely missed like a good twenty minutes. Yeah, and
that's I was gonna say. I'm like, honestly, I might
go with you to this one because I want to
see like a full set.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
They were pretty badass, dude, Okay, why did you miss
We just got there late, got the fucking smoking a joint, yea, yeah, late,
I know.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
Hey, no, but we walked in like perfectly right, like
they were playing, Like we probably missed, like I said,
fifteen to twenty at the most, yeah, by fifteen minutes.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
The cool thing is like the song we were listening
to was Comedian by Revocation, and then like we turned
off the car, walked in and by the time we
got in there, they were fucking playing Kimmedian was like, oh, anyways,
they kay just a stupid metalhood. What do I know.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
One of them.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
I'm just trying to have fun, you know.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Hey it was fun, dude.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Hey, their pit was crazier than Nekrogbla cons like Grogablagons
pill was cool, but now they're pit was.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
A little a little intimidated.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
In a row wallet death me really look at each other,
We're like fuck because we're just you know, but.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
I don't see either of these bands. Was like pit bands,
like these are.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Like, oh it happened, Yeah it was pits.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Bodies.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
I just felt like bodies, like you know, like the
floor trembling, just bodies falling.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Dude, Ravacation. I was like, oh ship, Yeah, it was cool.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I was surprised, Honestly, I was really surprised to see
Revocation is such a like a larger form setting because
I used to seeing them brick and this time it
was at the Observatory. Observatory is a little bit bigger,
so and I was like, dude, they fucking work because
they're very minimal minimalist band, like they don't have ship
going on or you know, like they don't have a thing, right, Yeah,

(07:49):
they don't really have that. They're just fucking there to
play their songs and like their music is just an
awe form itself. So it was cool. It was cool
to see them on a bigger stage.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
A right, are we gonna go see Laura for hell?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah, we are.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
There, we go, we go in pairs in.

bands you don't like, Let's go, let's go, Let's go,
let's go.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
And I think if we.

Speaker 1 (08:20):

to get our tickets. I feel like this is going
to sell out, So are already where they're playing it
Summer Lorna Shore, shut up intent the Black Dolly Murder.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
And yeah, we gotta go, We gotta go.

Speaker 3 (08:34):

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, she got me tickets to go see Low Wayne's
twentieth anniversary of the Carter three. I think, so he's
gonna do the classics. I can't. I can't sing the
words while I'm at the show. I know every lyric
to every Low Wayne song on the Carter three and
Carter four, I can't sing it. Though. I feel like

(09:28):
this is not the concert for that, I'm gonna let
you figure that one out.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
All right, So we're gonna get into it. I'm gonna
read a quick excerpt from the band's Wikipedia bio to
give our listeners context to the artists we were talking about.
Five Finger Death Punch as abbreviated as five FDP or FFDP,
is an American heavy metal band from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Formed in two thousand and five. The band originally consisted
of vocalist Ivan Moody, rhythm guitarist Sultan Bathory, lead guitarist

(16:16):
Kleb Andrew Bingham, bassist Mike Snell, and drummer Jeremy Spencer.
Bingham was replaced by guitarist Darryl Roberts in two thousand
and six, and was then replaced by Jason Hook in
two thousand and nine. Bassist Matt Snell departed from the
band in twenty ten and was replaced by Chris Kle
in twenty eleven. Chris Kel has the octopus beard by
the way. Spencer then departed the band in twenty eighteen

(16:38):
due to recurring back issues, and was replaced by Charlie Ingen,
making rhythm guitarist Bathory the only remaining founding member of
the band. In October twenty twenty, British guitarist Andy James
became the band's lead guitarist, replacing Jason Hook. Five Fingered
Out bunch. Let's get into introductions to the band. How
did we first hear about this band? How did we

(16:58):
find the five Finger was on our radar?

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (17:00):
That's what I want to know. That's the question of
the hour, and that's what we're gonna find out. The
question we're gonna start with.

Speaker 7 (17:07):
All right, how did I find out about five Finger?
It was that kid through Tony. He had followed Ivan
Moody's previous band Motelgrader Motegrador, and then then he followed them,
and then he found out Ivan was starting a new band.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
He showed me, I forget what song.

Speaker 7 (17:26):
It was probably the Bleeding, probably, yeah, probably he showed
me The Bleeding, and I fucking I loved it. I
was like, ah, this is awesome. All right, that's how
I got into them. I'll follow suit since you mentioned
my name. So aust Fares two thousand and three was
my first concert I had ever been to. That was
my first think. I saw switch Foot when I was
like eight years old at a church. I don't really

(17:47):
count that at a church at a church. This is
before they got signed, and that's a whole other story anyways. Wow,
But my first concert that I like really went to
and attended was OsO so three, kill Switch, Shattle, Swallow, Voyvod,
Cradle of Phil Manson Core, Disturbed, Shavillez right fucking great,
and there there's we could do it a whole episode
on that day and I'll blow your guys's mind and

(18:07):
all the crazy shit I've been I went through that
day anyway. So I think I was like fourteen when
this happened. And the first band you know, you walk
into the parking lot, there's a side stage. Bands are
playing in the parking lot, and the first band was
the Revolution Smile, which you guys probably don't know. We
by the time we got to the stage because we

(18:28):
were kind of like looking around a little bit seeing
the buses all that. By the time we get to
the stage, Revolution Smiles playing their last song both Rower
fucking fell in Love with Them, got the sample CD
for Ostos two thousand and three, fucking Staked this Ship.
We go to the barricade and my cousin Michelle, she
was like, Hey, you really want to check out this
next band, And I'm like, okay, cool, Like I have
no clue who this band is. They put up the

(18:49):
banners motegrator, who the fuck is this? Then they all
come out. They're all fucking painted head to toe.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
You know. The band looks like very tribalist, try like
very like kind of like Native d Men's kind of thing.
They're all like kind of like black and white painting
and all kinds of shit. And then Ivan Moody comes
out and fucking tears the stage apart. They kicking into
their song Suffocate. I Fell in Love with Ben then
and there. I'm not gonna go into the rest of
the show, but that's how I was introduced. Ive In
Moody went out bought the album at Kmart. A couple

(19:18):
of days later, Kmart came and blasted that album throughout
high school. That was one of my favorite albums that
I had. That was the original Motivator U lp uh.
Fast forward to two thousand and seven, so this was
O three. So in seven, I'm at home one day
watching a I recorded on beach as the previous night's

(19:40):
head Banger's Ball, and so I'm like at home by myself.
My parents are album brothers out, everyone's out and uh
rewatching it and there's a band called five Finger Death
Punch comes on and I'm like, what the fuck. That's
a weird name to kill Bill name, I think because
I love kill Bill uh. And then I see the
singer has that Model Greater logo tattoo on his arm,

(20:00):
and I'm like, oh shit, that's Iven Moody. When on Wikipedia,
Oh shit, that's Live In Moody. And then uh listen
to that song up and down for the next couple
of days anytime I was at home alone, put it on,
found out that they had a record coming out, went out,
bought the record, and it became probably my favorite record
of that year. It was that first five Finger Death
Punch album, and then fell in love with them. I
was a pretty big fan for years to come. A

(20:22):
five finger. Uh yeah, that was how I was introducing
Five Finger Death Punch was Headbanger's Ball O seven The Bleeding,
the first single that they ever put out. Uh, Rudy,
how did you? How are you introduced a five finger?

Speaker 2 (20:34):
First of all, they've been around since O seven.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
About how longer? Oh six?

Speaker 2 (20:38):
I think that's a wow.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
I dude, I didn't know there that they've been around
that long because I didn't I didn't hear about them
until like probably.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Like yeah, way the Fist came out O seven.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
I probably didn't hear them about them maybe six or
seven years ago, because I mean I've found on the
first time. I literally the first time I heard about them,
I was actually see him at a show they played
with Slipknot up in uh like the LA Area. Like
when I say it was like either six or seven
years ago, that's crazy. So I recently got into and

(21:11):
I didn't get into him, but I recently discovered him.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I never knew there were that lot.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, they've been around long time now, going on almost
twenty years, nineteen years.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
I wonder because of the stuff that I've listened to,
because they don't have the original singer, right, I mean
I didn't, so he's been the singer the whole time. Yeah, okay,
then then yeah, okay, then I have heard their stuff
for some reason, I thought they had a different singer.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
HANDI, how were you introduced to Five Finger?

Speaker 3 (21:36):
I think I was introduced to like just the name
of the band, you know, like the idea that the
band exists. I didn't really actually hear them until probably
post joining or you know, Defy twenty seventeen. That's probably
when I actually, like actually was introduced or like heard it.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
You also joined Defy at the end of twenty sixteen.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Twenty sixteen, thank you for that baby, next to well
ten years. Oh, I like that A decade of the.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Ship.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
Quick, dude, that ship is crazy, because twenty sixteen fell
like yesterday.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, five years.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
But we'll get into that later. Well, we'll talk about
that later.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Yeah, So before that, I probably just heard of their
name through like forums online on Reddit. You know, whether
it's to celebrate or to bash. I don't remember, Like,
I just saw that name come up, and then finally
I was able to put a name to the to
the song when probably Tony honestly writing in the car

(22:42):
with you one of the many days to me trying
to get you in any days that I was in.
Sometimes the machine has sometimes like limp biscuits. Sometimes it's
five fingers, so no five fingers, yeah, yeah, sometimes he
uses four. Sometimes it's fine.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
You got to get the five fingers me like a glove.
All right, interesting, so interesting? So are you into Five
Finger Death Punch? Do you enjoy their music? Are you
I hated one? Are you a hateful one?

Speaker 3 (23:14):
A hateful one? I can't hate as much because I
do have them on a playlist provided me a long
time ago. And this was on there, and this was
called remember Everything, and uh it was instrumental.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Right, No it's not, it's not Remember Everything is.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Not really I remember everything.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Vocals.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
It's a ballad, dude.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
A ballad.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
It's just baalaid.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Actually, I don't think you listened to it. I think
you just added no.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
I thought they had one.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Jade is not an instru instrument until thirty four, remember
that one until thirty four?

Speaker 4 (23:52):
I think that one did. I think that's the that's
the instrumental.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
I'm looking through this like this is an old you
don't like, you don't like anyways. That's the only song
that I fucked with that I really liked. I tried
other stuff. It didn't work out at the time, but
this is, uh, this is new handro. We're gonna we're
to see if we can change your mind. Yeah, we're
gonna see. Yeah, we're gonna I'm up for the challenge.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Now we're ready, We're ready to do.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Ready, let's go, let's do it, Rudy.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
But you like Five Finger though.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
I can't say I like them, but I mean like
when they come on, I don't change them, like like
a munch shuffle a lot or like you know, random
and they pop up all the time.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
And so I'm gonna pluck you and I'm gonna put
you over here with him. So we're gonna try and
convince you to I want them by the time we
leave this room that you both have added five Finger
to your.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Playlist to It's definitely already on here. The songs that okay, okay, okay,
fair enough, Okay. One thing I do want to know
because I always hear about five Finger Death Punch and
it's usually negative ship. Yes, why don't I don't follow
any Okay.

Speaker 7 (24:53):
They are the nickelback of metal. Why they just people
just love to hate on them, that's all they are.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
There is a level of cringe to the lyrics. The lyrics,
I was going to say that, Yes, so like the
like the Ivan Moody. I guess the way he for
I think he's cool, Like I like Ivan Moody. So
I'm not saying from me, but from what I've heard
and read, people don't like the whole like the face
pain with the hand, or like the whole monster like

(25:22):
they call it like monster energy. Of course, it's like
a whole thing, like they're the monster energy of metal
for some reason, like their level of success brings about
some sort of cringe, like they do videos like sports
cars and ship like stuff like that. Capitalist Yeah, yeah,
so so it's I guess to a normal metal dude,
it can be seen as a little cringe.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
Oh okay, I don't really see an image of them ever. Yeah,
I just hear their music and I actually the music
is fine. But see, I guess if I was to
see that would be like, oh, it's a little well
some of the lyrics, I will admit, are very cringey.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah it's super now. Yeah, but let's ask a resident
metal gatekeeper, why do you find my picking with a
bunch of cringe?

Speaker 5 (26:03):
Mmm?

Speaker 3 (26:05):
I wouldn't. I didn't know that stuff about them. I
just don't like the music, but I like, yehnest this
was the assessment I made, you know, back then. But yeah,
it just didn't like speak to me right. But no,
I didn't know about any of that. Do I see
that hate like Reddit? You know, stuff like that. Sure
back in the day. But but then again, I've seen

(26:26):
it for like a bunch of other bands, you know, Ghosts,
and you know what I mean, It's like I see
it all the time.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Ghost Is got awful, They got honestly, honestly metal. That
episode changed me. Bro I listened to Ghosts probably almost
every Sunday.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Now. It's like a ritual.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
It's it's like the Ten Masks.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
It's like, no, dude, it's literally it feels like that.
I like Sunday mornings. You know, certain people they're like,
what is it ninety one next to us reggae Sunday Mornings.
I do Ghosts Sunday mornings, dude, sucking chill smoke, you know,
starting my day would go Dode.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
We do something similar with our vinyl, Like we play
like Michael Jackson fluewood back.

Speaker 9 (26:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
That that's like My Sundays but with Ghost because it's
like I feel like, it's like chill metal.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
So it's like it's like my Sundays but with terrible music.
But I like that. I gotta try that, man.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
Dude, I used to be I used to be so
against Ghost due until he showed me like some stuff
and actually did enjoy it all right.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
I didn't know this and makes me happy.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
I've been listening to their latest album.

Speaker 2 (27:26):

on there.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Bro, There's a.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
Lot of ship, and I like that. The last album

Speaker 2 (27:56):
What's the way, that's my.

Speaker 3 (27:57):

Speaker 12 (30:06):
So that hell.

Speaker 9 (30:17):
Ship, leg.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Lie, you don't have to like my life. That was Ashes,
the opening track coming in hot.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
You just heard.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
The first time I heard that, I was like, this
is fucking this is oh seven.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Okay, you were so pumped for you.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
I was like, this is holy, this is heavy.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
It really is.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
It is so But before we get to the Gatekeeperess
of the episode, Bajie thoughts.

Speaker 7 (31:01):
On Nationals, fucking I haven't heard that song. You're fucking
it's so fucking good. Like no, I love the the
guitar work. I fucking love it. I love the chugginess
to it. It's just like it's a very chuggy song,
just like so it's like flowing. And then the melodies.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
Man, that's just that's what gets me.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Gotcha, Rudy.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
I like the drums a lot and the guitar. The
music itself is amazing.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
His vocals are cool, but the lyrics I do feel like,
are very self centric and cringey.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Well yeah, this is.

Speaker 9 (31:38):
Life like like ghosts.

Speaker 5 (31:42):
Yeah, like that's talk about like that's my fing bar
of like cringe right now, that is.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
That is cringe. I do admit it is super cringe.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
There's there's certain stuff that's super cringe, highly cringed, but
lyric I'm not saying it's bad. Cringe to a certain extent,
is I think necessary because it's something that is gonna
attract people to, you know, people are attracted to that,
like a specific type of cringe.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Everyone's into like their own ship.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, solo section, solo sectionlet's hear it, art animate, beautiful, Yeah,

(32:37):
there you go, there you go.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yeah. So honestly I like all of it.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Nothing bad to say, but you'll forgive the lyrics though, Yeah,
because the music is actually great and like even when
he went away, can you hear me? Yeah, even when
he does clean. I like when he transitions to cleans
and it sounds good.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah. Sorry, I was trying to adjust. You were You're
peaking a lot.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Interesting.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Let's peek into the worldview of a gatekeeper real quick handro.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Al right, guys, that's introu Yeah. Like like musically, there's
nothing wrong with it for sure. I just like I
can understand the lyrics that the singer is saying, and
I feel like I shouldn't. I want it to be
more like, hello me, do you listen what do you

(33:31):
listen to music just to find No?

Speaker 1 (33:34):
No, no no no no no no no no no.
I'm not gonna let him get away with this. This
is not guttural metals. This is not like you hear
that riff, you don it's gonna sound good over that that.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
This is not that it would sound cool.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
No, it's there's a reason why it's not all right,
all r right.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
So that's the middle elitist response, right. My actual response
is I am very surprised by but I wonder if
this attributes to their success. Like the screamer, Like he's screaming,
but I can't understand every fucking thing that he's saying,
Like yeah, I did not know this, like right coming
into this song, I did not hear this playlist on purpose.

(34:14):
Uh so yeah, Like I'm really surprised, Like, oh shit,
I can understand everything he's saying, but he still has
that like great going on, you know what I mean,
He's not holding back. It's not like okay, this is
like weak. But no, as far as like the lyrics,
I mean, it's fine, dude. It has that like new
metal fucking lyrics, but pure honesty pure. That might seem
cringe to like certain people, right, but if I look

(34:38):
back like what I like this back, then probably fucking
would you know what I mean? Like the new metal
fucking era, like the lyrics and ship, like the honesty.
So yeah, that's that's what I think about this song.
I'm more surprised that it's like it wasn't cringey as
I thought it would be.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Are you tolerable for you?

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Tolerable for me?

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Are you on board so far? Are you on the train?
I'm on the train, see me? And we just rolled
up on the train, right we just that's Alex's stop,
that's Horo stopped. So we came up to the stop.
There's Rudy. Rudy's like, hey, Rudy, come on. He's like, oh, dude,
I don't like the train, but I like the seats,
so I'm gonna sit down on this terrible ass train

(35:18):
and be comfy as hell. So we want Rudy to
enjoy the sights. But right now we're all trying to
like wave.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Hey, come on, come on, come on, Billy, come on, Billy.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
He puts his head.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
I don't know if I like this.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Oh, never mind that so that's so.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
That's what we're He's hands at the door of the train,
at the door and he wants to come on. Hold,
we have to bring him on. The train hasn't left yet.
All right, here we go.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
There's a chance.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
So the next song is Dying breed off the band's
two thousand and nine record. Uh what the war is?

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Answer?

Speaker 10 (35:59):
I ooh, roads.

Speaker 11 (36:10):

take up, got.

Speaker 3 (36:16):

Speaker 11 (36:32):

Speaker 9 (36:41):
Like a brad.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Dying the right hand of doom.

Right Also, I was dying. Great, the old Tan has
a right hand. That motherfucker has a right hand. I'll
tell you what.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yeah, they didn't did that?

Speaker 1 (37:11):
That didn't I think? I think hundreds on the train now.
I saw I could feel the testicles perk up, the
the pheromones were released.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
They have to. That's been dispersed into the air like
ye you can see the microbes in the air.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Did we get the medal gate keeper on the train.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Yeah, So the only thing I'd say that. I was like,
you know, the chorus is not that great. But everything
else though, but look at this solo all right, let's
check it out.

Speaker 9 (37:53):
Solo art enemy dude the same dude.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
I was very.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
I oh, so are you on board so far?

Speaker 3 (38:28):
It's it's like I'm like we're already was saying like, oh,
like I'm not I don't love him, but when they
come on like, I'm not changing it because it's not
like fuck is just ship. You know, I can see
why he says that.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
I'm just saying the energy in the room has changed.
It has the energy of the room has changed. I
want to know if it's all of us, because I'm like, dude,
like this, this album wasn't that great, but this song
is the first the first track on the album. This,
this song is the reason I bought the album. I
love this fucking song. He's pumped me up all the time.
The fact that it's like almost like it's a fight.

(39:01):
The first verse round once where my god, I do
it for fun, and then it's like the round too,
something I want to do. Whatever. These lyrics, the lyrics
of this song, especially at the time, really spoke to me,
I was going through my own ship and this song
was like, you know, you have your songs that you're
sad songs when you're going through something, you have like
those emotional and then for me, I have that, but
I also have like the songs that like pump me

(39:22):
up and kind of get me going in the morning
and like I gotta go, like get ship started. You know,
this was one of those songs for me during that time.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
So, yeah, so you're on the train. We got you
on the train.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Yeah, I mean, can I come in now?

Speaker 1 (39:36):
You can come in now, Okay, come in, you bring
bring Billy Billy Billy.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
They're letting us in like jumps on.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
The train and he just sees Rudy out of the
corners just so the popcorn just.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Like, dude looking Caramel's pretty good show.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Dude, Hey man, I think I think I really life.
I fingered up punch bro.

Speaker 12 (39:52):
No.

Speaker 5 (39:52):
I mean I love like the guitars, the drums, Like
I don't have anything really bad to say about them,
to be honest with.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
So do we understand the hate yet that they get?

Speaker 2 (40:02):
I don't understand the hate.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
I mean if you listen to the like the lyrics
like like I mean, like, like I said, you can
actually understand everything he's saying. So I feel like maybe
that's why that's people are more focused on that, which
I know I was.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
I was listening to this stuff, but I don't I
don't see the hate.

Speaker 7 (40:19):
I just think it's like Nickelback, like they're just they
are they were because they got very successful, very quick
and I think that's just the hate.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
It's like they like, oh, I guess see that's that's okay, Okay,
never mind. I don't want to get off token ship.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Now the past for this, but I mean that's my
but we're going to get hate together.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Yeah, okay, Well that's my opinion.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
How you guys are saying that you guys felt like
they rose to success to too quickly, and maybe that's
why people get hate hate them.

Speaker 7 (40:51):
It's not that not that they rose too quickly, it's
just like they got very successful and they were like
almost on every festival during that like two.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
I think that hate. It's just they're a metal militia man,
and I think at some point that's just not cool anymore.
I think with the younger crowd, like I was, like,
we started to age out of like the cool metal crowd.
The younger kids were like metal militia. That's like old heads,
like you know, you know, you know what I mean.
That's like I think for us to be like the
yager bands, it was kind of like that, Like you

(41:24):
had your like Slayer, like that's not.

Speaker 4 (41:26):
Really cool anymore.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
Like Wild, Yeah, I like.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
So like like that for me. Like when I was
a teenager, I thought Zach Wall was like the coolest motherfucker.
Now I'm like, dude, Zach's fucking cringe, Zach Wild, Zach Wild. Yeah,
I'm like, dude, that Zach Wild's fucking cringe. You know,
the whole Limp Biscuit sucks cocks. I'm like, why dude
said that? He said that on stage, he said that
in the Black Level Society DVD. And I'm like he's like,

(41:52):
Limp Biscuit sucks fucking cock And I'm like why say that?
Like why why do that?

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (41:58):
And then although like the Confederate metal heads, yeah, brother brother,
they their music anyways, so it was just hate. Yeah,
just hate. So we're gonna move forward. So we like
this song.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
I think now you guys got me thinking, like the
whole lyrics like maybe that was the off thing, Like
I don't really care about like what people say generally,
like I just care about the whole presentation, and so
far I don't see anything cringey or what's different about
them than someone else.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
You know, would you consider yourself now not a fan?
But I like Five Finger Death Punch.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
I see the songs, the songs that I showed you
earlier when you looked through my list, I feel like
I got like a different five Finger from.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
So so they five Finger has a Bad Wolves kind
of thing to them. When Bad Wolves came out, people
were like, oh, bad Wolves is like the new five
Finger Death Punch. Bad Wolves has like I've showed you
guys the heavier shit, but they get they have active
rock songs too, yea, and those are the songs that
people they get play it on the radio. Five Finger
has something similar where they have like the heavy songs

(43:11):
to get played, but the bigger songs are like the ballads.
So when you know it's like Shine Down, Shineoun has
like some heavier rock songs, but most people don't know that,
Like the average rock listener doesn't know that they listen
to shine Like, oh, this is like Elton John. You know,
it's like five Finger Death Plunch. It's like, yeah, they
sound like nickel Back. Well, yes, some of their ballads do, yeah,
but they have like one or two ballads per album.

(43:32):
Like most of their music sounds like this. Okay, you know,
gotta gotta got it. Okay, So anyway, so explains a lot.
So we're gonna get into the third song on the playlist.
This is off of the I think twenty eleven let
me see. Uh this is from the twenty not two
thousand and seven. No, no, all right, So this album
came on like in twenty eleven. This is off of

(43:52):
the album American Capitalists. This and you guys know.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
Seven wasn't it?

Speaker 1 (43:58):
No no with Spotify says that it's not that. That's
not true. Oh seven is the first When the first
album came out, American Capitalist was a third album. I
know because I was working at Target in twenty eleven
when that out came out. I bought it with my
Target money. Yeah, guitar, So okay, so this is off
of American Capitalist. This is actually the first single. You

(44:19):
guys know, I'm not a big fan of singles, but
this is good thing. I like this thingle I like uh,
this is under and Adam Jeremy speaking that shut out

(44:49):
of that stead.

Speaker 11 (44:51):
Fast the one, the one.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
I'm boun.

Speaker 11 (45:00):

Speaker 11 (45:07):
How it made me saying some money to me all
the time.

Speaker 13 (45:10):
If they wait, they tell you, no one I'm bout
me giving a sin I ever did I tell you?

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Remember you? Well?

Speaker 11 (45:23):
That point you can't us like the start, I'll take
my son, I want to rang over.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
I love this song.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
That's a good one. I would had a lot of
my favorite songs.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
The Berican Capitalist was I think the first two records.
The first record was great, second record was all right.
This album had some bangers on it, for sure. I
always feel like my my MIC's going like out, I
don't know's I'll be weird.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
Just double record.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
No, it's it's working right now. And I just gotta
add a little more high, yeah, a little more high yeah.
Like the lyrics might be a little cringey. I love
these lyrics. It's so tongue in cheek. It's a little
it's a little if you take it at face value,
but when you're really like man like this song is
just about like people talking shit about you, and I
feel like you guys know me. I've I've dealt a

(46:32):
lot with that for a long time, you know, whether
or not it's warranted or not. Like I feel like
you guys know like the person I am like. I
I think I've started to like understand the person I
am like. I'm not just like obnoxious, you know, or
like this asshole. I'm very loyal, right, and I love
my friends, I love my family, and I'll do anything
for you guys. I'll do anything for my band, I'll

(46:53):
do oh my god, And I let I let that
kind of I'm trying to make this a habit of
letting my actions with the people I love speak more
about me as a person than maybe what other people
who don't know me might think of me. And so
this song really speaks to me a lot as far
as like that goes. Because he hate is something like
it's a it's a much newer thing I've been since

(47:14):
my Instagram started to like get a little bit of attraction.
It's kind of like a newer thing I've been dealing with.
It's like, uh, like you guys listen my sleep token
videos and like people are calling me like, oh, you're
a fucking poser and you're a fucking you know, you
have terrible taste of music. You're a piece of shit.
And then like comments on like by their pictures and
oh look at the way you look, and this is that.
I'm like, you know, yeah, I don't.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
Know one out the other. You know, I feel but uh.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
Yeah, so I don't know. This song A really speaks
to me. But boz under and over it it's like
you you were digging it.

Speaker 4 (47:45):
I love this song. It's a funk. It's one of
my favorite songs like this.

Speaker 7 (47:49):
Like I said, this album had a had a lot
of not a lot, like majority of my favorite songs
are on this album from them, But fuck man, it's
a good fucking song. Love the intro I love. I
just love the chugginess to it. The rifts are cool.
The solo was pretty sick. I don't know if you
heard it was talking.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
I missed it.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
I'll see if I can, I'll cute it up. So
so the first two albums, the first two songs, the
lead guitar player was Daryl Roberts. Zul Ten Bathory is
the rhythm guitar player for and he's like the main
songwriter for Five Finger. Darryl Roberts was the lead guitars
for the first two records. No, No, I'm sorry. Daryl

(48:30):
Roberts was the lead guitars for the first record and
then he quit. Jason Hook, who was a pop producer.
He did Manny Moore and she like that. He's also
a metal guy. He joined the band and he's the
one who brought in all like the crazy solos and
ship too, so he was he's the lead guitar player
in all the songs on the playlist. You know, I
don't have anything with with any James on it, but
ye let me cut it up. Okay, here we go.

(49:15):
Not so crazy, Yeah, tasteful.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
Yeah, it's a good lead.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
Yeah so Rudy thoughts on under and over it.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
I like it. I like it.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Good song, good, very very I like it. I like
it Like I was trying to do the bogie, but
I guess I didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
Has to crack.

Speaker 11 (49:35):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Would you would you say that you're now getting more
interested in five Finger as we are?

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (49:43):
Yeah, I haven't heard anything I don't like yet, you know. Okay,
Like I said, they come on on my ship all
the time. And I don't know which song it is,
but like, so far, I know I've heard this one.

Speaker 7 (49:52):
Be like I feel that you're like, you'd have to
like listen to the albums and not really listen to
the the the singles, the singles to like to like really.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Appreciate appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (50:05):
You gotta listen to the album and find the songs
that you'd like that aren't the singles.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Wait, are we listening to the singles right now? This
is the only single?

Speaker 4 (50:15):
Oh yeah, this was no.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
This is one of two singles that are on the playlist. Yeah,
I have two singles on the playlist, which almost never
have singles on my on the playlist, and I curate
for the for the for the podcast. So you're getting
a little more interested, a little light, a little interested.
So you're still just sitting in your seat with the popcorn.
Just I'm enjoying the show, enjoy the show, wonderful. Don't
know if you're gonna be watch the show, but you're

(50:37):
enjoying it.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Yeah, you could definitely say that, you definitely.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
ANDNRO are you on board? Are you going to the
next stop with us? Are you getting off.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
I think I'm gonna like I'm on the rails, Like
I see him sitting and I'm like, fuck, man, that
looks comfortable.

Speaker 11 (50:56):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
But yeah, I mean just the song itself. I mean, yeah,
it's a it's it's more of like the previous songs,
you know what I mean, Like we're going consistent. You
haven't lost me yet. If I had to really pay
attention to the lyrics, which I kind of did, I
was like, all right, let me pay attention to the
lyrics because I really don't care like either way. But
I was like, you know what, if I was doing lyrics,
I personally like more like poetry or more poetic kind

(51:19):
of like metaphor, you know, stuff like that. That's just
like I was like me thing I did like when
he was saying, like when you like when you thought
I'd give a shit or well, I don't know the
lyric part was, but I thought I thought it was
cool what he was saying. Do you remember when I
fucking like the last shit I gave is what I
It's what I interpreted from when he said.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
You heard the one about me giving a shit? Because
if I ever did, I don't remember it.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
Yeah, I don't know. It was cool, the cheeky, you know, like,
I see what you say about that? Yeah, for sure.
Once I heard that, I was like, Okay, I get
what he's like, what he's going for, but yeah, I mean,
if there's any negative right like that I had to
think of is the lyrics. I just don't. I wouldn't
relate to it, right, Yeah, But if I don't pay
attention to the lyrics, which I normally don't, you know

(52:05):
what I mean when it comes to metal, like, I
really don't unless like Corn.

Speaker 4 (52:08):
You don't relate to these lyrics because you just don't
give it about anything.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
You know what. I like the song now, Yeah, yeah,
you're right, But I'm just I'm just picky with who
I really like get into lyrically. Corn fucking you know,
there's very few bands that like, who's gonna say Raivocation. Surprisingly,
I don't really pay too much attention, although recently I
was like, wait, you making a song about horror movies Cronenberg.

(52:34):
I was like, man, maybe I should start, Maybe I
need a fucking start. If there's anything I'd learned in
this fucking podcast, like lyrics, I yeah, I really fucking don't.
And then I see Rudy who was like, you know,
like this lyrics, you know what I mean, like and
like you're really paying attention. I noticed that, and I
was like, fuck, I don't I'm not really trying. I'm
listening to everything else, so I don't know, just just

(52:55):
something I noticed about myself in this song.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
Gotcha all right, So we're gonna move on to the
next song on the playlist. So five Finger Death Punch
did a double album in twenty thirteen. Oh yeah, Volume one,
Volume two.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
That's sick, that's fucking cool.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
There there was a couple of things they did a
little different. They did a metal version of Mama said
Knock You Out with that. I fucking love that was
with Tech nine. I grew up with that. My mom
used to sing that song to me. Don't you ever
let nobody punk you? Mama said knock you Out? And
I was like, that's a song. I thought. I thought
it was a ship.

Speaker 7 (53:25):
So they did some cool stuff, but they did a
bunch of I think this was the album where they
they brought in a lot of different artists.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
There's a lot of features.

Speaker 7 (53:35):
Yeah, they got Maria Brink, Jamie Josta.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
And Oh Max Ooh that's sick leads Rob Halford Rod Depend.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
I think it was like for vocals, maxis and play lead.

Speaker 3 (53:51):
Okay, yeah, I don't know why immediately went to instruments
like but yeah, you're right, you're right.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
So actually okay. So the song I picked off of
the volume, one of the wrongs out of Heaven and
the Branches Side of Hell does not have a feature
and it's not a single. This one is called watch
You Bleed.

Speaker 10 (54:12):
I just to cut you free, I just watch you watch.

Speaker 12 (54:32):
My Star.

Speaker 9 (54:34):
It's that Rob Turkle production.

Speaker 14 (54:36):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
Yeah, very possible. I had a lot of polish.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
There's a lot of punch out of sere and also
you want everything that.

Speaker 12 (54:51):
You won't ship where you why not?

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Little eighties? I Watch You Bleed. So this record these

(55:30):
the double album has the best hooks of all the records.
I think the hooks are huge, like they're fucking like that.
You could tell they were trying to do that with
the early records, make these big choruses. I feel like
this album they're like we gotta embrace some eighties, little eighties.
So Rob Turco is the producer. I think he produced

(55:51):
the previous albums too, with Out of least the previous two.
There's a sound he has production wise that's stuck around,
like bands like Papa Roach started doing it in this moment,
all like the Mob are an active rock band started
doing it where it's a lot of it's a lot
of emphasis on kick and snare and Tom's not so
much on the hats and on the cymbals, so it's
just very punchy. Yes, we see the soul is coming

(56:15):
up all right here.

Speaker 8 (56:34):
The rhythm section though, I know that those are my
favorite solo sections with that emphasiat rib pattern, tech notes.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
Guys notes notes, tech notes.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Everything all right, anyways, I love this song thoughts.

Speaker 5 (57:02):
Oh, so that was amazing, dude, chucking reminds me so
much of like our may sound very sweetish, super melodic dude.

Speaker 3 (57:10):
Yeah, epic.

Speaker 1 (57:12):
Yeah, where we at baching?

Speaker 4 (57:14):
Oh, I love the song. Fucking.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
I don't think you're gonna fall off on this episode.
You're cemented on the seats cemented on this playlist, on
this playlist, Yeah, we'll get into the phone, we'll get
off to Yeah. But on the like the song so far,
I love them all, Like heck, I'm a fan. I'm
still I'm still a fan. Just yeah, but uh yeah, no,
fucking great fucking song.

Speaker 4 (57:36):
I love. It's very.

Speaker 7 (57:40):
Like it's very like I don't know how to describe it,
very like big, that's a big sound to it. Is
like you were saying earlier, it's just like very stadium.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Yeah, stadium esque. Uh ANDNDRO, you're representing all the metal
heads that hate Hey, they just trying to figure it
out a funch. Where are we at right now? Like,
are you at the point where you're just like forcing
yourself not to like it? Or are you or are

(58:11):
you officially coming around? Like what what do you like
about it? I feel like you like it more than
you're leading on.

Speaker 3 (58:17):
I think they've entered the whole Like okay, because I
do like Disturbed, you know what I mean. I have
like a history of like like them, and they did
their role in my life, you know what I mean,
like good consistent shit, just like seven Dust. I still
like his singing voice, you know, like I would I
would love to hear this kind of music but with
like seven Dust singer. But anyways, I don't know. I

(58:38):
think this is the best song I've heard out of
this whole playlist, Like honestly, like it's a good song.
I like the eighties, like little build up kind of
like this like not falling mud vein kind of chorus
feel I stand Yeah, you know what I mean, Like
has that feel?

Speaker 2 (58:55):
So it's like empowering.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
It's empowering.

Speaker 5 (58:58):
I was gonna say, for some reason it was clicking
with me, as with hate breeding perseverance type of ship.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
Yeah, but very uplifting, Like yeah, it gets me.

Speaker 3 (59:08):
Yeah, I think this is a potential playlist material.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
All right, all right, we're getting there. We're gonna are
you are you sitting down with Rudy yet? Are you
at least gonna sit.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
Next to him? I'm like kind of walk working my
way there and be like, dude, move like the way
I can sit. Man, I'm walking up the aisles. Yeah,
I'm like, fuck h g tell like whoever I need
to fit on that.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
So he's not ready to look for his own seat,
but he wants to sit next to.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
Room now looking where he's sitting because he's all alone.
It's near the exit though, it's near the accident emergency exit,
just in case.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Just in case. All right, so we're gonna get in
the next song on the playlist. The next song is
off of Volume two of the Ratchets, Got this fucking
the Ratchet the wrong side of Heaven and the rightchest
side of Hell. This is also another favorite of mine, obviously.
Uh this is off the album This is weight beneath

(01:00:07):
My sins?

Speaker 11 (01:00:28):
You so my.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Love me?

Speaker 11 (01:00:34):
You want to.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Let that be?

Speaker 13 (01:00:41):
I would say, Astronaut's the same old bumpy sorry, the
same old.

Speaker 12 (01:00:47):
Pumping lie, the same old fucking day with a fucking sacrifice.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
I love this chorus, Dude, now I know.

Speaker 10 (01:00:58):
Don't jump.

Speaker 4 (01:01:17):
Oh that ruth is very grumpy.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
You know I'm I'm jumpy or gumpy, jumping jumpy.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Yeah, the gum the song makes you word gum gumpy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
It's very go what's okay? No jumpy.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
He change, that's that's when I got a ship.

Speaker 14 (01:01:51):
Now I know that I don't belong. I don't care.
Your scott are burned into my skin. Can't old, can't
the way beneath mine?

Speaker 4 (01:02:16):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
It's a very jumpy song.

Speaker 4 (01:02:19):
That that just that riff in general, it's like it's
very like.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
So this isn't just one of my favorite five fingers songs.
This is actually one of my favorite songs. Like, I
love this fucking song. And this is these two albums,
the Volume one, Volume Tube. They're all like this. They
all do there's always little something different, like they always do,
like a different kind of beat, different chugging, you know whatever.
I mean, it's almost the same ship. Like it's like
what do you expect from Disturbed, right, same kind of thing,

(01:02:46):
but they do a lot more different stuff. And I
think the choruses are so big and it's so consistent too.
Thoughts on weight Beneath my Sin.

Speaker 7 (01:02:55):
Oh, fucking fucking it's a good song. Fucking the chorus
was fucking good. The solo section is good, Like it's
all fucking good.

Speaker 4 (01:03:03):
Lyrics. I mean the lyrics.

Speaker 7 (01:03:06):
I feel like it's one of the things where just
you you know, if you relate to him, you relate
to him.

Speaker 4 (01:03:12):
If you don't, you don't.

Speaker 7 (01:03:14):
But I mean his vocals, like the rhythms and you
know what.

Speaker 4 (01:03:19):
His highs and lows like.

Speaker 7 (01:03:20):
I think it's all just it's all amazing, amazing, just
you know, I think I think what it is with
like a lot of people say that the vocals are currente,
like the lyrics are cringe. I think it's just a
matter of perspective, Like it's not something you can relate to,
or it's something you relate to or something you not.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
That's I think it's like listening to corn Jonathan Davis's
lyrics from like his first album to how he wrote
back then and his use of like you know, like
fuck this ship but you know what I mean. But
to now it's like this is like this is like
what reminds me of the first album but positive lyrics.
I'm not saying like they only write positive but like
just more uplifting, right, but with like very just raw

(01:04:00):
fucking vocabulary is fine.

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
Oh what is this about?

Speaker 5 (01:04:05):
Is he talking like something about his X? Okay, he's
talking about a chick right, Oh yeah, okay, yea. I
was following with it a scar, a scar in my
skin and ship a.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
Lot on the volume on volume two record is it's
about a relationship. He's going their divorce and stuff like that.
So yeah, it's a very relationship as Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:04:24):
Yeah, I definitely I was like I was trying to
keep up with it, but uh the chorus is super
catchy though, Yeah, super catchy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
I like it, you like it?

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
Yeah, It's it's definitely more on the soft side and
more baldy ish that's weird.

Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
I think it's heavy, you think so.

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
A little bit. It's very it has it's it's like
it's the mix. It's like the mix of the heavy and.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
Yeah there's a heavier yeah, but this is the lightest song.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
But this has energy to it, like this isn't like
put your lighters in there. This is like this is
a jumpy song.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
There's really good parts in the song, like the solo
sections amazing, the verse, like the main riff, like you
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
So where we at.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
We're sitting down.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
When I first heard we said that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
Left like I'm not gonna lie. When we finished the song,
I was like, I don't like this is the worst
song of like the playlists so far, which ship like
this song came out coming out of that six solo
and then he does this like you know, you sing
the chorus to build up again. You know we hear
that a lot. But then the more I thought about it,
I was like, yes, it's not that bad. You know,

(01:05:34):
it fits the song, it fits what they do. It's
not like there's really good parts in the song. But
I'd say the other songs are probably like stronger than I.

Speaker 5 (01:05:44):
Feel like those are I feel like this is definitely
the more radio commercial song, Like out of everything.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
What's funny, this isn't even a single.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
Really, this is not a single.

Speaker 5 (01:05:54):
I feel like this would have had a music video
and everything. No, this is because of the lyrics, you know, the.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
Story that Yeah, no, I'm gonna play the single right now,
and you're I feel like you guys a gonna feel
a little different. So I got I got two more
songs on the playlist. In my opinion, they're the most
Mega Death influenced, so that's why I wanted to add them.
I love these two songs. The next two songs too. Actually,
the last song is my favorite five favorite Death Punch

(01:06:20):
song period. But anyways, I love the song a little
sad to see you guys not like it as much.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
As maybe I don't hate it. It's not terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Oh I'm sorry, uh oh fuck, I didn't add it.
Son of a Bitch Okay, so I'm just gonna play it.
This song is towards the end of the album. It's
on the same album, Volume two, The Right, The Wrong
sid I have the restess out of helm. This song
is called A Day in My Life. It also has
one of my favorite solos of all tim I love
the solo on this record, on the song too uh so.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):

It's a good song, Baji fucking like it's just like
they have a formula and I like it. It's like
nice heavy riff, big open chorus. Maybe a solo, you know,
a solo here and there, but like overall, like I

I would say, sir, are you here? Have you arrived

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
But no, no, but no, are you ever okay? Would
you ever write this track on your own?

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
The the song that I mentioned that I mentioned was
like this is the best song eighties one like that
has potential to be on the g spot playlist.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
This too.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
Yeah, No, there's there's good parts on it. Maybe I
need to listen to it again. It's just I trust me.
My favorite bands do it too, like Corn Lately, where
it's like they do the they sing the chorus and
they do the core, you know, and then they build up.
It's like, how many times are you gonna do that? Dude?
Like you know what I mean? Like, like I said,
this is not on this band. I've heard my favorite band. Okay,
you're you're on board, You're on board. I like a

(01:11:32):
little variety, but I like this. I like what they're doing.
I like the ingredients that's in there. Right, I would
just maybe like fucking you know a little Provi and
you know thing.

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
There's Perovi, there's guitars.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):

last song. And would you say that you're a fan?
This is my last chance to.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
So this song is the last song on the playlist.
This is off of the last album that I like
from them. This is from the album Got Your Six.
I didn't even like this album.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
I like this song.

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
Yeah, I only like this song. This is off the
album Got Your Six from twenty fifteen. This is wash
it all the way. This is actually the single too
Ready for a little a little meg death Taste a
little good dude.

Speaker 4 (01:13:16):
This song.

Speaker 1 (01:13:16):
The guitars do some cool shit too, that fucking way.

a democracy, John might fall your yourmomsy.

Speaker 11 (01:14:06):
Okay, I said.

And that's how the.

Speaker 10 (01:15:06):
Love the transitions.

Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
That's a good song.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
Wash it all away, rudy thoughts.

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
It's good.

Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
I feel like this song was very like poppy, upbeat,
like out of all of them, the most like hell yeah, yeah,
of course I've heard it too before I've heard.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
It, so it's cool.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
Yeah, it's a radio song. It's been on the radio
for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:15:37):
Yeah, this one definitely has been on the radio for sure.

Speaker 14 (01:15:39):
It is.

Speaker 4 (01:15:41):
It's a good song. I like it, Like.

Speaker 7 (01:15:44):
It's just it's five figure. It's what I like about them, Yeah,
like it just it's their ingredients. So they're like their
signature sound, I guess you could say. And it's just
something I always like from them.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
Yeah, you know, they're not going to skip a finger
like they're just they're going to give you all.

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
Five So so that being the last song, Hondro representing
all the gatekeepers, all the metal heads in the chats
and the threads. I want to know, did we win
you over? Did we finally win you over on five
Finger Toun a band of ours?

Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
We finally belongs to both of you? Yeah, I definitely
have been turned around on like who I thought they
were or who what was presented to me? Again, I
showed you the playlist. There's these songs where it's like I,
this is not my thing, like or this is nowhere
near like my thing. These songs are definitely like hit
a certain nerve, you know, Like I said, you know

(01:16:42):
where it takes me back to a certain time. You know,
I'm not like gonna listen to them willingly, but the
g spot playlist has potential for that. You just have
to well, I never mind you sent us the playlist.
Listen to it again, remind me of the song is.

Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
Just listen to the whole post.

Speaker 3 (01:17:00):
Listen a little, just rinse and repeat till till I
like it got you?

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
All right, So so we got we gotta we gotta
start of wrapping this up. But before we wrap this up,
we gotta get into the fall off point mm hmm,
or to do live experiences real quick, because you and
I have seen five Finger out actually let's get into
live experiences, because I've seen five Finger maybe twice, no
three times. I saw them at Mayhemifesto seven when they
were playing the side stage and they had super soakers.

(01:17:26):
So during the last song and they had super soakers
and they were jumping, the singer was jumping in the
crowd and fucking sprang everybody down. And then they had
like the I think like the merch guy. Also like
they had a bunch of dudes up on stage of
square guns just scuating the crowd. It was fucking one
of the best live shows I'd ever seen because it
was it was the first album. They were hot on fire,
they were new, they were fresh, and then they were
just having a lot of fun with the crowd. They

(01:17:47):
went up there taking them so seriously. They were like,
fucking you get squirt guns and start a pick like
that's that was their ship. The second time was a
House of Blues. You and I went, yeah, House of
Blue we had the top floor. Yeah yeah, so we're
up there were on the barricade on the top floor.
I'm fucking headbanging, going crazy. That was with the second album.
The third time I saw them was probably one of
the worst concerts I've ever been to. It was at

(01:18:09):
the Emphathy Amphitheater, the slip trint Empatheater. Here they played
with Breaking Benjamin and they were doing a co headlining
tour and every night they would switch Break the Bengmin
and Five finger No you didn't go to that one.
I went with that one with Eilish and Chris and
I didn't No one said anything. We were out. I
think we're at the merch table when Five Fingers started

(01:18:31):
playing and I'm like, what, They're not supposed to play
for another two hours if it ran over. Most of
the set was the radio rock ballads. It was not
the heavy the heavy shit. So yeah, pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
So you've seen them, Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen them.
They played with Slipping On. I believe it was the
show that they think they played with a Bold Beat
as well.

Speaker 4 (01:18:53):
Oh I remember that one.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
Yeah, it was up in the LA area. That was
That was literally my introduction to them.

Speaker 5 (01:19:01):
You know, if if I didn't seen him play with
something O that day, I would have heard about him
and ever since then, you know, yeah, they've been a
right you know, it's not it's definitely not a band
then I'll physically search for myself, but it comes up
in my music in the rotating like you know, we
need to the thing go shuffle and it shows you
new music.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
Yeah, my fingers always popping up for me.

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
You got you, all right?

Speaker 6 (01:19:22):
I think Andrasndre has not seen them live, no, but
I did remember if you like, if you guys asked
me like, hey, you want to go see having a
death punch, I am going to ask like who is playing?

Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
And then I brought up like, oh that's how I
saw Static X perform with Devil Driver and Dope. So
you know there's potential, you know, just just get me
in there, maybe a band that I'm I like, something
to lure me in and and I'll fucking go.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:19:48):
Like for me, like if they were headlining, I probably
wouldn't get a ticket, but if there, you know, another
band was in there, I would definitely stay for their set.

Speaker 1 (01:19:55):
Yeah. Cool fall up point. So neither of you have
a follow.

Speaker 2 (01:19:59):
Up point, and it never really got on. I think
I'm neutral, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:20:03):
Yeah, I think me and Baji have a similar fall
off point. For me, it was after got your six
and twenty fifteen, so I haven't liked the Five Finger
Death Punch album in ten years now. Yeah, She's they
just I think at some point I just got over
the formula. When I heard that Got your sixth album,
I was like, all right, now, it's just it's like Disturbed,
just too much of the same. I have my albums
that I like, I have my albums that I enjoy.

(01:20:23):
I'm not really interested in going further. And every time
they put out in new music, I'll check it out,
you know what I mean, But it's always like same shit.
I already have five albums of this. I don't really
need more, right And I didn't like the last time
I saw them play either, So I mean I would
see them again if they were depending on who they
were playing with. But I would say that I'm off

(01:20:44):
the train. I have my albums that I like. I
have that part of the band's phase that I enjoy.
So I'm leaving you guys on the train, and I'm
stepping off the train.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
I'm getting off. Yeah, I was only here because they
were who was operating this thing.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
Would probably be the.

Speaker 4 (01:21:08):
The Last Fuck, the Wrong Side of Heaven whatever like that.

Speaker 7 (01:21:16):
That that part two album, the two part album, that
would probably be like my follow point because after that,
like like I like, I don't like the singles, Like
there wasn't much like it. They just had the same
Like it just sounded it just started sounding all the same,
and I was like, listen something else. But it's like

(01:21:38):
that was like the last album I really enjoyed after that,
Like I said, I think it's on like the singles
that I hear on the radio.

Speaker 4 (01:21:44):
I'm like, oh, that's a nice single from them.

Speaker 7 (01:21:45):
I like it, so then I'll add it to my
playlist or something. Yeah, but like full on albums the
Wrong Side of Heaven.

Speaker 4 (01:21:52):
That's like that was it. Like after that, I was done.
I was done.

Speaker 7 (01:21:55):
I was like, because I think the last song actually
had one of my favorite covers on the second Part
two had one of my favorite covers on it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
It's the same cover just some blue yeah, just like
orange Ones and Blues.

Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
Song.

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
Yeah, okay, okay, oh House of the Rising Sun.

Speaker 7 (01:22:11):
Yeah, I had one of my favorite covers on it.
So like I heard that kind of like oh I
fucking love this. So like that was like after that
was like okay, I'm like I said, singles I hear, fine, but.

Speaker 1 (01:22:22):
Gotcha albums all right? So album recommendations. I would recommend
the first album for me would be the first album
and then the double album. The first record just five
Finger Death Fune the Way, the fifth two thousand and seven.
Second recommendation would be Volume one, Volume two, The Wrong
Set of Have and the Rtchest Out of Hell. I
think those have the best songs, the best hooks for

(01:22:42):
the band. It's fresh, it's they do some different stuff,
but I think that the hooks in the songwriting is
a lot more mature on that double album. So just me, Vaji,
do you have an album recommendation for me?

Speaker 4 (01:22:53):
Would be the Way the Fists and War is the answer.

Speaker 7 (01:22:55):
So the first two records, first two records, they they're
bangers like that you listen to now you're just like, okay,
like cause you you hear five Finger, but you don't
really hear how they started.

Speaker 1 (01:23:08):
Gotcha all right? Well, thank you guys so much. Thank
