PipemanRadio Interviews My Diligence at Bloodstock Open Air 2025

0:04 Hi you Lunt, Yes that's true. For Wow, crazy Young. This is the pipe Man here on the Avengers pipe Man W four c Y Radio and I'm here with. My diligence from Brussels, Belgium, just cross the channel. We love to come to the island and we will come back. I love it, I love it, and you're here at Bloodstock. How the fuck did that happen that you're at this great festival. Wow, for us it's a bit like waking up dream because it's our very first time in a major festival in England. Actually it's our second every show in England.

0:47 We were out. We were eight months ago. We were playing London for a showcase festival called the Iff, and so for us it's the very first time we are confronted to Britoldian. We love it and how. Do they love you here? Well we don't know yet, but from the London one I know. There was no audience. It was a showcase professionals. But if you're talking about the audience today, I would say they can love it because they were head banging so much, and also they stayed for our show, which is a pretty good spy. I would say I took that picture from the stage with a fully backdup marquee And actually this is what we need as newcomer artists. We need that, we need the supports of the people. And I think that also the audience from the metal scenes. They are so smart intelligence and they are so respectful, and these guys are looking for everything, are not scared to discover new shit, and they're super great audience. We love them, we love them, We love our audience. But you see all these people head bangings in front of us. It's tucky gifted those moments.

2:03 And so do you speak Flemish too? Non French? Just friend? Yeah, I mean a. Little bit Flemish, little bit, a little little bit. So I was laughing because I was at grasp Pop last year covering it and what's the fuck? I can't believe I'm drawing blank because I love them, but Dave Lombardo and Mike Patt and fuck, I can't. Believe we're drawing the blank. Yes, yeah, yes, mister, thank you. They did their version of speaking was your die of s O D. But did speak Flemish or die? Well? The thing is that in Belgium it's a very small country. I would say like we have the same issue as Switzerland, but.

2:48 Without the money. And the thing is that. So we learned Flemish at school, but unfortunately we were. Not smart enough to ignites it. Nowadays it can tricks us a little bit because it's very important in Bedium nowadays speak Famish. So we regret a little bit. We should have, we should have to. Do our homework, but unfortunately we didn't because we are like crazy dudes, not thinking about tomorrow and what. But in another life, whether it is a. Problem in Belgium, I think all the people can speak in English in Belgium and if you I think, I speak a little bit Flemish and everything is cool with all the people in the music seeing them, and we don't have the barrier from the language.

3:40 That's the beauty of music. Like it's amazing when some bands they speak another language, or even bands that come from America over to another country and people are singing the lyrics but they can't speak the language. That's the beauty of music is it's the universal language. What it is. But unfortunately the business of music is not that so universal. That's for sure, that's for sure. But we really. Musician, not the industry of music. But in the for the all the musicians, I think it's the beautiful thing.

4:21 We speak not the same language, but we understand the music and the. Beautiful, beautiful. It's a beautiful art. You don't need to talk. We don't just joy the real momont. Just head bang and mush all together like one big family. The thing is that us artists, we're I think all the people who are performing on stages here at the Bloodstock today we're not thinking. We're thinking differently of other people. We are very fragile. We're like satellites who's taking all the emotions of the world and we're trying to write it on a paper as music or whatever.

5:02 And this is really complicated. And first things first, we're doing what we think we want to be. We want to do sorry, and we're not doing music for the Organs. First, we're doing music for us. That's the only way it should be and if it works. But we're not going to sell us to the devil. Just unless it's Ausy, then you could sell it to AUSI exactly think of the Devil. Oh, yeah, we love us. I mean Ossy, I mean, well, he's a perfect example. He didn't go by any rules. He didn't give a shit about anything. It was just auzsy exactly. I mean it's amazing because they're staying in a hotel in Birmingham and we say we're leaving tomorrow and we.

5:43 Say we have to go to the Black Stubbo Bridge. Yes, and to pay tribute. I went there on the way here. Okay, what's crowded, No, not anymore. So what was cool is they have a live stream going that you hit this QR code that they have there and it'll take a picture of you. And send it to your phone. Amazing, badass. So twenty twenty five ish. Right, but yeah, you can't leave here without going the Black Sabbath bench. But it's it's also to pay tribute, yeah, because obviously Black Sabbath. You know, we're doing this kind of using that osciate between Doom, Psychololic STONA and Boss hardcore. So obviously Doom is something that Blacks but created that were bionies of it.

6:30 It's must do. If you think about the first Sabbath album, that is the first Doom album right there, clearly, I mean one hundred. I mean, was that in the seventies you had the Beatles, the Doors, I mean, and they just push that fucking distortion buttons like new others, and they committed to it and they created a new pause, a new sound, a new era, a new everything. Yeah. Yeah, hey, all of us are here at Bloodstock do the Aussie and Black Sabbath, but eximple. That's completely what it is.

7:12 Exceptions give him the mic. It's the foundation of our music exactly. We wouldn't even know what this music, about this music if it weren't for them. For sure, When we perform, we don't like to speak that much because first we're we don't believe that our English is good or whatever. Us. We're a bit shy and we're not talking a lot to the agents when we start the concert. Then we do our music, music, music, music. And obviously while we were performing today, we were thinking about Birmingham, when we were thinking about Hosey, we were thinking about all that, what's this means.

7:54 To the medical community. Yeah, but it's not for that, what that we speak to the agents about it because also it's in our position. It's in your mind and a channel to your music. And I really hope your. Music not a guy talk all the concerts. Oh yeah, music, just the first thing in a concert, not a guy I. Want told them it went to our mind if when we started the band, if we were musician artists or nentitainers, and obviously we're not the last one. Well, I'm glad you're here a bloodstuck because we're very badass. Thank you so much. And tell everybody that they can reach you on socials, on the web, get your merch all that stuff.

8:39 Well, the things that we're a bit of everywhere, band camp, listenable dot com, our label, Listenable records. We'll see all the stream platforms and. I'm sure that if somebody wants to know more about events, they tip just my diligence into search, Google whatever they want, now find they will, they will find us definitely. Well, we're not hiding under a rock. Well, thanks for kicking our ass here at Bloodstock. Thank you so much, Pipe Matt, thank. You for being on the Avengers of pipe Man. Thank you. Michelle Kerr was my press officer for my entire fucking career here in the UK, my entire career with Machine.

9:25 She recently passed away and it was a very very sad day and I can tell you the reason that I'm gonna tell this story is because she was family. She was Bloodstock family. She was heavy metal UK family. Most of the bass that you know and. Love you probably heard of because of that woman right there. Slive Knots, Slayer, Machinehead, Trivium Kills, which engaged Hey Breed, you name it. She helped lift everybody up, man.
