0:00 Hey, you love them too? Sure, I'm come. I'm to see why you wake up America. It's time for the Adventures of Pipe Man on W fourcy dot com. West Palm Beach is number one internet radio station. Here's your host, the White Man. By my anxiety, What why do I always feel by time? Time? Will do? Stop some of the biggest stop some of resel me not little baby, I've been spending so much press time. Listens the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio. And I'm here with Buddy Nielsen from Census Fail Nice here at Welcome to Rockville. And I mean, how does it feel playing in the Daytona Speedway. Yeah, it's pretty wild. I guess I didn't really get a scope of it until I kind of got driven over here and I saw the the angles that the turns are on, and yeah, it's pretty.

1:21 It's pretty. I had no idea. Did they let you drive on the speedway? Wide asked, and we were in like a van. The guy that drive us over here, he was like, yeah, you gotta apparently I gotta go at least thirty five and you can't be in a top heavy like man. Yeah, And I was told you gotta be at least fifty five miles per hour or else you're gonna flip over. And I have a jeep out there. I was like, I was driving on the speedway and I was like, if I went up on those embankments, I'd flip in two seconds. I didn't realize that. I know, it's wild like you'd see it on TV. It doesn't look like that at all. Yeah, I mean, I don't think you can't really see. You can't really understand it until you're it's sitting there and it's like a fucking thirty five degree angle. It's crazy. I asked the people running the media because I have my skateboard in my jeep, I'm like, can I take my skateboard on out there? Will you pull my media credential if I do that? I don't think they want me to do that, But the show is sick, and I mean, it's awesome to play with such legendary bands, you know.

2:25 I mean, that's one of the coolest part about these festivals and why we always are just so stoked to playing because it's like dream come true. I mean, you know this one we're playing with Tool, Like I know wild right. You know, I don't really you know, Tool Deftones, I mean an incubus. I mean, it's it's crazy. It's kind of nuts for for someone to be able to put your name, you know. You tell people like, oh, where do you play? And I'm like, well, you know, play a show with Tool? Right, totally I could say that. Did you see what they have this poster? Okay, so this morning I was out there. It's like three hundred bucks plus attacks for this poster, and people were running in the venule. Yeah, a tool play they have like a like a limited printed Yeah, yeah, four hundred copies only people were running in and I was talking to one of the workers. I'm like, man, it's insane for three hundred dollars for a poster, and the dude's like, yeah, it's it's already gonna be worth a thousand on eBay. Yeah. And somebody who's telling me one from like Louder than Life is worth seven thousand. Now, I'm like, I'm in the wrong business. I'm just gonna buy Tool posters and like the point zero one percent of rock bands that right, there's only one tool, Yeah, exactly, modeling your band after Tool, is you just can't do it.

3:46 No. No, it's like anything they do, it doesn't matter, you can't. There's only one Maynard. Yeah, yeah, but may I have a lot in common. I'm actually do tell. I've been doing jiu jitsu for actually longer than Maynard. I'm actually high rank than him. Who I'm not saying anything and just but Mayard and I were one of the very few people who've been doing jiu jitsu a very long time. There's a couple of us. Dude Zultan from Oh Yeah three, he's a he's a black belt. He I seem a lot of tournaments and stuff. But Maynard myself, Zultan, like, we're high ranking. Are you a black belt too, I'm a brown belt, you're not. Almost Yeah, I'll get my black belt. I should have my black belt. It's I'll get it.

4:27 I'm not worried about it. Once you're a brown belt, you're like, I got it. I got this so well. COVID lockdown, what's going on? Killed me? Yeah? Yeah? And then maybe you're like, well, there's never live music again. I could always join the you know MMA. Oh yeah, I mean I teach and you know I do. I do, But that's so I'm always interested in I think it's really interesting, you know, people who dedicate their life to music and then also something else. Yeah, just I think you have to have more than one passion a lot of times and stuff, so I always like to find out. That's why it's great you said, No, I always like to find out, in their views, what's your other passion? I mean I do, I do a lot of stuff, but I say that one thing that's stuck as long as music is definitely a jiu jitsu. Nice it'll come, it'll go, it'll come back. It's kind of how you know, it's not just a what I moved from hobby? You know, people do a hobby for a little bit and then maybe move on and find a different hobby or whatever. So what do you like about it? Oh? How difficult it is? I like? Also, I like I think a lot of musicians are into the mastery of I would say, people who've been able to make it to some level of success in music, you got to master some aspect of it. Yeah. There it's the live show, whether it's your instrument, whether it's your creative process. And the same goes for jiu jitsu.

5:50 It's very creative, and once you get to a mastery level of it, you start to unlock the creative potential of it. You know, when you start playing guitar, you could never really imagine writing right, but then you get to a certain point you're like, oh wow, I can be creative with this instrument. I don't just have to play other people's thing. I think. I think there's a thorough there's a line in how hard it is and how much effort it takes to get really good at it. That's a really really good point, you know. And I think about it too, especially if you're like a heavy band. I think you need to be in good shape to do a live show. I was just running around like crazy for thirty minutes. And as you get older, I think it's more important.

6:33 I think I think a lot of I think people want you need to embody a certain level of like I miss rock stars, and I don't mean an ego, but I mean in like, oh my god, like this person seems like a superhero, right, you know, And I think there's some level that you kind of have to like keep up a level of superhero nests, whether it's whatever it is you choose. Some people are like amazingly just intelligent. Some people go a different route and are just really good, you know what I mean. So it's like, yeah, kind of have to like super succeed in some of their aspects of it as well to reinforce that, like, hey, like not only may I because when you're standing in front of a crowd of like twenty thirty thousand people, you kind of got to make them wonder. You kind of got to let them know why they should be standing. I talked about that a lot with bands, is like there's bands that I didn't like and I saw their live show and now I love them. There's other bands that I love and I see their live show, I'm like, well, I could watch it that on YouTube, you know, and I could love the band. But there's gotta be a certain energy, a certain performance live that differs from what you're going to hear in your headphones, which I think is interesting now with the Internet and just way every music is very like like we were watching Kurt Cobain at reading Nirvana

8:05 and it's a terrible performance, but it's amazing, And it's like I think a lot of times people are so used to hearing perfection and then they go to see the live show. We're a band that's not perfect live obviously, we're not trying to mess anything up. But it's right. There's an aspect, it's it's real. I want it to be very unique to whatever's going on. Yeah, so you need to experience, and you see us at Rockville this time. The next time you see this is it's gonna be different. Yeah, it's gonna be different. And I love that because there's somebody even myself that you know, I do radio coverage at all the festivals, or some band, so it's like, Okay, I've seen them six times this year, and I can quote what he's going to say between songs, and I'm over it. I tend to not stick to a script. I have certain things I might say, but today I was talking. I started saying I started talking like Ruddy Ruddy Piper. I started saying all sort of like some of his sayings. I started I I think I claimed I was the mayor of Rockville. That's you know, it's just like, that's that's so bad, that's so good looking. I could see myself on the other main stage on a JumboTron, and I'm like, I have to embody whatever this is. That's what now see. I never thought of that. You see yourself like because the stages are so far away, Like that's gotta be a trip. You're on one stage and you see yourself at the opposite end

9:37 of the festival. I was created, like weird, You're like, man, I better. I kind of just gotta embody whatever that is, you know, and I kind of like go outside of myself. It's not like my normal self, like it's some extra superhero person that's you know. And I think a lot of bands that, especially when you come to these festivals, you kind of got you gotta do a little bit of that. And it's not a competition at all, not in that way. It's just like, no, you got these people watching you and you want you know, might be people who've never seen you, never heard of you, people who are already getting set up for the death Tones in our stage, which I love because I love I'm that's the band I want to see. But thank god they're setting up for the death Tones because they might have never seen you.

10:20 So you gotta make those if you got to pull them in and let them know why why they should why why you make their time waiting for their favorite band worthwhile and that that's like some of my favorite bands come from the third stage and whatever. Like listen, I saw slip On and mud Vane at Osvest ninety nine on third stage a little you know, smaller than those things. Yeah, I mean we've we did tours with Mike Kem. We're twenty people there, right, you know, like I'm from you know, I'm from that world of like it doesn't the band here. There's a lot of way, there's a lot of they've been through a lot to get there. Yeah, you know, so those stories of you know, even bands like Slipknot, Like you know, you see Rage against the Machines for a show. Yeah, we've ever seen that on YouTube. No, hilarious, it's like at a local like park in like a band show. It's hilarious.

11:13 I saw Oengo Boeingo in my high school gymnasium. Yeah, wow, nineteen nineteen. Any Elfman's like, I don't know if you can find a more successful It blows my mind. Like I just remember being freshman high school in this band I didn't know who they were, was playing in our gymnasium during school hours, not even like a special concert was just like a recess or some shit like that. And then he becomes like the most well known composer of all times. I mean he's written cult, I mean class classic, I mean things that will be exist in like Aladdin. Yeah, whoever wrote the original fucking a Laddin, like you know, and whatever that was, it might even be BC. I mean, now people will remember Nightmare for right exactly crazy. I've seen him a couple of times do Nightmare for Christmas. I've seen him do. He did like a comp like I guess said a retrospective of his career where he would do all of his stuff.

12:22 That was amazing, because it's great. He's a conductor of the singer so voices. It's incredible. It's incredible. You're the next one. You'll be the next maybe.
