0:00 Hey, you love them too? Sure, I'm come from four s Why for you? Wake up America. It's time for the Adventures of pipe Man on w four CWY dot com. West pom Beach is number one internet radio station. Here's your host, The White Man. Are you so day, Tidy Sardast? You tried my fast five for far Fast five was outside the tunes? Pipe Man Here on the Adventures pipe Man four c by Radio And I'm here with Maddy Mullins. What's up nice Memphis may Fire here at Welcome to Rockville. You are, like I just have to say, you're like one of the nicest guys in fucking metal dude, okay, and no reason not to be. You know, listen, I love it your energy, Like even before I was watching you with everybody, and it's like I think listeners should notice about people that like they're real people. People up there on stage are real people, and you're just like cool, you know, it's

1:32 like no ego, no nothing, just you're like one of the most humble too, like and what a badass voice. Oh thank you. I I genuinely enjoy people. I enjoy press like I'd love doing stuff like this. I feel lucky to be in this environment just in general, and so any opportunity is a is a cool moment for me. Man. Yeah, and see that's a great attitude because sometimes press can't be too fun for an artist like you, especially if you have like thirty interviews one after another, like, but your energy still stays the same, and that's what's cool. I think that the gratitude is the key to a happy life. Yes, And when you start to try it and act that way, wake up, choose gratitude of the morning, that becomes your natural brain path. Yeah, and you become a happier person. And I mean I just I genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, am excited to be sitting here doing this interview with you. You know, I love it, and you know you hit it on a key that's big for me. It's waking up in the morning like that sets the tone for the day. So if you put yourself in that mindset from the beginning of day, the rest of the day is so.

2:38 Tell us about the new album, Remade in Misery. I mean, in my opinion, and it's a very strong opinion, I think that this is the best Memphis may Fire album of all time. We have had a lot of success with it. Radio is caught onto it. You know, our original fan base from way back in the day they love it too, and it's been so awesome to see those worlds come together in such a beautiful way. You know, our shows now we have fifteen year old girls and we have fifty five year old guys, and like the crowd gets along name mix. They're all just thankful for the music and to be in that environment. And man, our shows, they really feel like a place where people that don't feel like they belong somewhere all belong somewhere that night, you know, and it is such a beautiful thing. That's a cool thing about metal because like everybody's included, and especially nowadays, like when I was a teenager, you didn't have this mix of people at metal shows that you have now, like you were just describing, I think it's phenomenal. It's so cool, man. I mean, it's definitely becoming a thing, and it's just been like being here today, it's so wild. It's going to be so awesome. And see that's a good thing too. If you're gonna be in this business, Yeah, you gotta have an energy like you because otherwise it's no fun. If you're not having fun, it's I mean, yeah, I know a lot of guys and sometimes, man, you got you gotta also remember that, like different people's anxieties get in the way of them being able to enjoy things. And yeah, you gotta grace for people that are struggling with those kind of things. But for me, I'm just trying so hard to just live in in the moment, be present, stay excited, like look and actually see what's happening in front of you because it goes by

4:09 in the blink of an eye. Who knows if we ever gets to do another Rockville again. And it's just it's awesome. It's a cool time. And meanwhile, you're gonna be doing, as usual a bunch of DWP festivals this year that I'm gonna catch your set at every one of the one type of things. So you'll be at ink, you'll be a louder, you'll be an aftershock. I mean, that's a pretty killer. It's gonna be so sick, dude. Yeah, excited, Which is your favorite of all the DWP festivals? That's kind of like picking a favorite kid, But I genuinely, if I could, I would just be I would tell you straight up, but I can't. I mean, they're all so special in their own right, and they're all so powerful and so massive. It's there's no way it is true. Because there are certain things I pick for each festival like this one, like playing in the Daytona Speedway. That's I mean, that's amazing. You know. I was telling a lot people this weekend.

5:00 Okay, So I have a brother that he doesn't give two craps about a and the festivals that I do. Like if I text them, you know, pictures or stuff, he doesn't respond. The other night, I text them, I'm driving on the Daytona Speedway. Two seconds He's like, send picks. Yeah, you know, it's just iconic to be here, man, it is so cool. Yeah. When they picked me up from my uber, they drove me around on the track and yeah, like this is where you know, like Dale Senior, you know, a bit to dust and like all this stuff. This is so crazy to just be in it, dude. You know it's wild in person too, Like it's one thing looking at it on TV and then being on the track itself. And I didn't know until today, you know, Like I don't watch a lot of Nascar. I think it's really rad, but I've just never like devoted my time to it. But I didn't know that the track is so slanted, like so slant, right, that's what everybody's saying. Couldn't even stand on it if you wanted to, you know, you fall over. So it's like, and they're telling me over there, like you guys to be going like at least fifty miles an hour otherwise your car will literally topple. So crazy diss that they're ripping on that angle. Yeah, I felt the same thing. I was on there. I have a jeep and I live in South far So I drove up here and I was driving on and I'm like, yeah, I would roll in two seconds on that hill man. Yeah, it doesn't even look like that if you watch on TV, it just looks like a normal thing. And then it's like you're looking at when you're standing there, like, holy crap, how are they driving on that?

6:27 Yeah? Oh my god. And then ink that's another one of my favorite venues, like Shaws Shank prison. Oh yeah, oh my god, I me too. So just to be there will be really iconic, you know, you know, it's funny. I don't know if I ever told you, but like my youngest story, she's always every festival I'm doing, she's like, so you excited, and I'm like, I don't know if it excites a word. I always loved doing it. It's great and all that. Yeah, And then one time I and the first time I did ink, I called her up. I'm like, I'm sitting in the prison yard of Shaws sank Now I'm excited. Oh my gosh, I mean like that, that's like a childhood memory for me, that movie, you know what I mean, and how powerful it was, and to be able to be in that area that's going to be just a wild experience. Oh yeah, it's amazing. What else you guys got going on after this? We've got the Remade Misery Tour Part two that's happening July first through the fifteenth. It's mixed in with some festivals, and then we've got more festivals, you know, like we're just talking about the dw F one September October like that kind of timeframe. And then we have some stuff that we haven't announced yet.

7:28 Oh I can't wait for that. So how do people listening keep connected with you so that they can get those announcements were on every social so Facebook, Memphis may Fire, Instagram, Memphis may Fire, Twitter, Memphis may Fire. You go to Memphis may Fire dot com to look at shows to buy tickets, Memphis may Fire. That's where you'll find it and you are fire on stage for sure. Oh, I mean today's our first time. He's in Pyro. Oh instead of Memphis May Fire, it's Memphis will Fire. Oh, I love it. I can't wait to be there and tell me the album you think it's your best? Okay, undeniably our best album yet. Pick a couple elements that make you feel that way. What is different about this one than previous ones that make you feel good? Well, you know, like we in the past, we've felt inspired to go in different directions, and when we've done so, we've gone so far in that direction that we feel like we lose touch with fans that have been with us from the beginning. Yeah, and this album is such a it's such a perfect mixture of all of the different flavors of Memphis May Fire. Which we have our radio songs, we have our heavy songs, we have our ballads, you know, like the whole nine is in this record, and so if I could, like if people weren't going to get tired of it, but they do, you know, naturally, Like I would tour this record for five years, you know. Nice, It's been so much fun. The response is insane. You'll see tonight that there are songs on our new record that have a significantly bigger response than any of our old songs that people really caught onto. Wow, amazing, dude, really is. I can't wait, Like you're my last interview, so awesome, I'm ready. I can't

9:00 I can't book any interviews during your set, you know. And the one thing I really love is talking about again about your energy and how positive you are. You know. I think there's always a misconception when it comes to metal and rock and that they hear you're like on and they think it's supposed to be something that's evil, bad, negative, the exact opposite. It's always the opposite. Man. I've met people in like, you know, pop music world that are just so awful, right, and then you know, like hang out with people that to the general public they think that they're like demonic or whatever, and they're just the sweetest sweethearts. It's like, don't judge a book by its cover and get to know somebody. If you're gonna have an opinion on them, that'd be my advice, you know.

9:46 And they definitely need to get to know you because you are not only an amazing musician, vocalists, just everything but human being. Thank you so much, and it's an honor. For that is why I'm so excited you're here at Welcome to Rockville, and for that is why I thank you for being on the Adventures of paint Man Man. Thank you so much for having me. He always a pleasure, my pleasure always for me too, and look forward to seeing a lot more of you. All right, let's get it. Thank you for listening to the Adventures of pint Man. I'm w fur CUI Radio
