And I said, went by too fast. And they've got a lot of bands playing today, but we came in into the power set. Dude, the fans were freaking insane. I love it here. You think that's like just like regular prison floor, like the shower prison floor, because that could be two completely different things.

0:51 Which would you want them to. Hit just a regular prison floor? There might be a regular it's pretty it's only like. The prison shower room alone. Actually, I've been in the prison shower room in here. Oh yeah, you took this horror. I was gonna check it out there. I've taken my own tour. You know what I do. I follow a raub the tour and I hide am scared of people as they're going by. That's fine, man, that sounds like the cells are so small in there, man, I realized how tiny. They are, and you know it is haunted for real. Oh no, yeah, without it's out, man, without it's out, you know. Well and Rebus right yeah, oh yeah. So he filmed the video in the tor one of the torture rooms here, and he came out, he told me, he came out scratches all over his body.

1:35 Yeah, this wagon as wow. Man, I don't go mess with all that stuff. I'm cool outside the building out here. It's nice, right, but you could always like being do a video in the torture room of and bodies hitting the floor. Yeah, we did Bodies that are Abandoned insane in Solomon in California, and it definitely had its own creepy vibe for sure at that place. Man. Yeah, tell me the story about that, because that does sound my first video. Like for official video man, back in day, dude. It was wild. It was me out in the hills, way far away from like a good two hour plus ride from Los Angeles, just kids in the candy store making. The first video. We had a ton of show lights and the whole setup was great. Man. Glenn was also that directed the video, so great times. Man, it was like twenty five years now.

2:15 Jesus hello, where did that fucking time? I was blacked out about fifteen years of it, so it's still all brand new to me. It's like I just got here. How you doing, I'm cg yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just going for you. Man, you just get started on. Oh man, I just got back from doing Download hell Fest and resurrection Fest and now I'm here. You're all over on my side of the pond. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. And I'm going back a couple of weeks for Bloodstock. Yeah. Yeah, you guys need to play blood Yeah. We're playing a handful of ones. Which ones will be playing over. Whacking, Brutal, Salt Reload and Alcatraz nice. Yeah. I applied for Walking, but I did you know I would go. You don't get the approval to close.

2:58 I'm from Indiana, so they whackon. I know right, I'm trying to say, fucking so they approved my media credential, right right, right, you gotta take it right right, Yeah, I know right. I'm in big time. So how you compare this festival to a lot of the other festivals you've done? Man, this has got a great vibe he started playing here right when it first started, I don't know it was it ten twelve years ago, And just to see it grow over the years, to be a part of it's great. And also to see all these amazing bands play all day long. Man, Yeah, you like the vibe here. We ain't got to tell you. Has this stuff down to a science? Oh no, shit? And the venues like first Verse hanging out at the Daytona Speedway then Shaw Shank Prison.

3:43 Like yeah, but I mean you've been you're aware of like the European Festival since which is like top notch, and Danny is like the it's like the American. Version of that. It's like there's I think he took that. It's like he nails it. I think he took that model and added his own twist to it. That's a good way to put it. Yeah, was a great man. And like, here's the one thing I always ask artist I think I've asked you guys before, is how did Danny Wimmer treat you guys? I think in all the years I've been doing this, since twenty thirteen, I've been doing his festivals, I've never heard an artist give me a bad comment. Oh, of course not. Man, these are the best, Like like Ryan was saying, do everything is is organized, the top notch, and he allows us like talking to you and reconnect with our fans man, especially being on his freaking awesome stage with all these other bands, amazing events.

4:34 So we love to play all all the definitely for you with asking you that question, we're a bunch of jaded assholes. We're a bunch of old dudes. We don't give a shit anymore. But we're very honest when we say he takes care. I mean, whether you're an artist, whether you're a fan, whether you're press. I think he does an amazing job of taking care of everybody. Yeah, well not just him, Danny, but like everybody that he has working for him. Obviously he he's attention to who he hires and it's a great team. And it's a well oiled machine. Yes, Like you think about some of the other festivals we've had in the United States and if they had these kind of crowds, these kind of weather conditions, kind of.

5:16 Scary, what would happen, you know, even down the catering. I think for you guys, because like I saw TikTok, Ryan Radkey talking and like he was playing a festival over there. I won't name which one, but he's talking about how the food and catering was crap. But even somebody like him would say, this is the best ship ever. It's the best, man. Yeah, everything's top notch here, man. Danny takes care of everybody. We thank you, Danny. He's got something to say, but he's holding it back. He missed catering, that's all. So he didn't get to have it. Oh man, should if you're if you're a guest in someplace like this.

5:59 Oh yeah, I know, I agree. Yeah, nothing to complain about here, man. Because never anybody complains about the any women festival. That's what I like about it. And I like how he treats the artists. Like every artist I talk to, I hear these great things and I'm like, man, that's just a testimony of I. Know you all good, not knocking verty over, knocking bare up to the table. So what else we got going on after this for the rest of the year. Yeah, we have one more. A festival next week at Syracuse, and then we're going overseas, ask at the more festivals that Ryan mentioned, and we're doing a headline run as well with the band called Nocturnal Affair just to look at Emorys for all of August and a couple of brack shows. We have a few things happening in personally September, October, trying to get some more music finished for hopefully i'll collection of songs and released before the end of the year. And then we have a UK run that's been selling out pretty fast us be Spine, Shank and Me in November. That's been nice, good guy, so full UK run, looking forward to that one.

6:56 They love your music over the UK. It's been a lot of song just overseas. Breaking back into it this year man, and then getting ready for the Senor twenty five anniversary June fifth next year or some whenever the Reees starts for that, so making fans for that as well. So we staying busy, man, staying real busy. That's a great thing because it's a lot of fun for you, isn't it. Oh Man, I love playing music. It's best sing in the whole world. That's the one thing I see why I see you guys up on stage. I'm like, man, that's how all musicians should be. Just you're up there. You can visibly tell you're having a great time feeling. Man, were alviously been friends sance high school. We still love rocking out together. We're old school man. I was just plug right into them to start rocking out. Man, it's plugging play ban old school metal. There it is.

7:37 I regret this, but just to clarify real quick, that wasn't aimed at you or anything. I won't make sure that I made that straight. No, that was anybody that was going to bitch about catering or anything about any festival where they're invited to come and spend time with the people will allow us to do what we do with the fans out there. That's just a bitch at those people that might be bitching about being able to be doing something like this. Nothing. Fuck those guys. Yeah, I knew what you men. Yeah, there's nothing a bitch about here. Everything's perfect. I don't bitch about catering because I don't get. Any Just so you know, it's really freaking amazing. Top quality's taking everything. Man. But look at this fucking drip bar and the bar for all of us that ship.
