1:19 Thank you? Tell me about this hat. You can't do epic shit with basic people like I'm also a motivational speaker, so that ship speaks to me right away. So tell us your thoughts. This is a designer that's really a good friend of the rock industry. Cult of individuality, Big up Ron Ron is a designer and his brand cult of Individuality. We wear a lot of it. Fire from the Gods. Who has a lot of it. A lot of bands rock his ship. And he said he came up with his years ago, put it on a hat, and he said he couldn't sell he couldn't sell any of them. And then all of a sudden, you know, it just popped. And I once I saw it in the showroom, I was like, I need this, so I get a bunch of them. And I'd love the statement because it's true. You can't do epic shit with basic people. Man, No, you got to surround yourself with absolute beast. That's right, absolutely, and you are an absolute beast here at Welcome to Rockville. Yes, yes, how was it? How was it out there? Dude? Today was good. We love festivals.

2:19 We thrive in this environment. And right now we're doing a lot of working behind the scenes on new records, new music, new videos, so we really only have time to do festivals. And you know, it's a blessing that we were able to make it out here today. Nice and you're doing any other Danny Wimmer festivals. It's on a temples. It's on a temple, and then it's into the lab and put our heads down and try to write the album of our career. Oh I can't wait for that. People need it, man, Oh absolutely. I think music is needed more than ever. Right now. We're in mental health Awareness Month and music is the best freaking therapy there is. Tell you tell me about it, brother. I'm at war with a lot of things in my life now anyway, So and it's just it's just a weird time, you know. I got another kid coming and congrats. Yeah really now I'm joking half my babies, man, And I'm glad. I'm glad for another one. But right now, my the focus is on building rebuilding myself. Man. I got a little lost in the sauce for a little bit there with with you know, my career and and it. You know, I I heard a lot of people around me and a lot of people depend on me. So I had to realize that I couldn't be a fuck to it anymore, you know. I had to get the fuck up and do the right thing. And what that right there is what makes you a fucking amazing human being, because not not only that you recognized it but that you are publicly openly talking about it, you know, And that's the first man, and that's that's the Fire from

3:51 the Gods is honest, bro, And I can't. I cannot be honest. You know. I've tried it in so many different ways. But you gotta be real to yourself. And I think if I'm going to impart and leave something for anyone, especially my kids, I need them to know that, you know, your daddy was a real one. There you go, gotta leave your legacy, and that's the legacy more so than the music, right, that's the legacy more than that exactly. So what can we expect from all this new stuff coming from you going back to the streets? Man? With it, We're going, you know, we're we want to bring the heavy back, the heavy. And I'm not saying that there is an heavy shit out there, because there's a lot of heavy shit out there, but heavy in the sense of what Fire from the Gods does, you know what I'm saying. We are. We played touch and go with the scene a little bit, and we did a lot of amazing stuff towards with Corn and five Finger and Megodath and all this amazing iconic stuff in the but it's time for us to find our own way, you know, and establish ourselves as a band. Are we are we here to stay or are we just going to be some you know? Oh they had a good couple records, right right, And and you know what, the attitude that you have specifically as a person and everything you're doing is what's going to make you the icon that last time. I talk about it all the time because there's bands that come into this business for the business, which they're idiots, because it's it's the wrong business if that's why you're coming. And then there's bands that are

5:25 true to being an artist. Those are the long last sing and that's you, brother dude. But I've told you all the time. You know what you do is you're taking down history. You know what I'm saying. You have the music's there and the photos and the videos. You know that you give us a voice outside of that, right, So people are going to hear that and once it hits the tape, that's it, right I'm saying, So continue doing what you're doing because we need you. Man. Well thanks, I appreciate that out here, not everybody appreciates it, So I like that and you do have a voice here, and you know with that voice, what do you want people to know? Your voice? What do you want people to know you love yourself in their strength and peace? You know what I'm saying, Especially when I talk to people that I come in contact with every day, and when you talk to your people in the streets and you see your family and stuff like that. We've tried hate, we've tried conflict, and there's been so much of that. Why don't we try a little bit of love? And love can be tough too, trust me, you know what I'm saying. Because tough love sometimes whims and when people want to get out of hand, maybe you got to knock them up beside their head once in times that's what they need exactly. And so basically, if you were describe what you want your legacy as a musician to be, what is it? Change yourself in order to change the world. That's it.

7:00 And see I love to change the world part too, because as an artist, you are changing the world. And what your voice is. That's why I like to give somebody like you a voice, because your voice can make the difference good or bad. Yes, and I think your voice is a good voice for not only the music community, but the community as a whole, because you're so right, Like we've tried, Hey, we've tried all this other bullshit. We're falling for this division bullshit. We're all one people and we should all just love, respect and help each other just like we do in the pit. And that's the exactly and that's the only way we're gonna make you brother. That's it all right. I love it you guys, rock. I can't wait to hear more from you guys and all the new stuff coming out. Tell them real quick just how they reach out to you so they can check for all the new stuff. So it's aj from Far from the Gods.
