You're another Danny Wimmer festival. Beautiful man, Oh my god, it is amazing. I have to ask you a question right off the bat. Coincidentally you're playing today, Yes, coincidental falling in reverses playing today. I just found that out. That's crazy. Coincidentally, you guys do a song together, a big one.

1:34 Is it gonna happen together? I haven't checked my phone, my iPhone. I'll put running on my iPhone. I have an iPhone and an Android. I keep running my iPhone. I haven't checked it in the last hour, so I haven't heard anything. But I gotta check it after I'm done with all my interviews. You never know. Tell us about that song. Let's pretty you. You collaborate with so many people. I love it, So tell me how that came about. I was attempting to get Runnie on my last album, Bliss, and I hit him in his DM. I'm like, yo, I got one, send me your email and I'll shoot it to you. He did it. I don't think. I don't know if he knew me. He's like, man, I've been on you for so many years. I'm like, what, Wow, what you know? Because I just I just talked to people in their Damn. If they say something, they do, If they don't, they don't. And I sent it to him. He said, I love the song, but I'm in the middle of an album, so I won't be able to do it in the timeframe you want it done, you know. I'm like, okay, I'll try next time, and he's like, no, but I want you to be on one of mine. I'm like oh. So he went on tour and Kim Dracula. After Kim Dracula did the song with me, he ended up on tour with Ronnie and it was coming to Kansas City, so I'm like, oh, I get to see and I happened to be home, so I'm like, ooh, I get to see both of these guys in person. But before all that, before they came to Kansas City, Sorayah was doing her wrestling show in Kansas City and I was going and my team

3:06 told me, Hey, Ronnie Radke's lady soria She's gonna be there, so when you get there, ask for her. So I got backstage and I was like, Hey, where's Soarriah. She came over and gave me a hug. She put Ronnie on FaceTime. So that was our first time seeing each other. Nice, Like, yo, what's up? So Soriah actually really connected us before Kansas City, you know, Kansas City. I went down to the show, met him, we talked, he said he played me the song. I was like, oh, that's heavy, bro. You know what I'm saying. I'm with it all the way. You know, I met Dracula that night and it's been crazy ever since. Wow. Yeah, man, you're I don't think there's many people that collaborate with as many people that you do. And what that tells me is like everybody loves you. Yeah. Man, I've never had barriers within my music, always had different elements within the hip hop. I do and I show love and I receive it. But if I sucked, nobody would care. That's right, right, and you definitely do not suck. So then I gotta ask your opinion, what do you think of Ronnie's rapping? Holy moly, That's why I called him for my record BLI right, because I was looking up metal choppers, metal guys that can really go. Ronnie was the first, and when when I pushed on it, I already knew about watching the World burn. I'm like, I forgot this guy is crazy, right, this guy's crazy lyrically. And it's funny because there's some people in the community, you know, the gatekeepers have given him shade for doing that song what And

4:39 I'm like, you're at your fucking mind, man, people that are locked in with what they want to hear, right, You know what I mean, Just like the older generation don't like the newer generation of hip hoppers. You know what I mean with the offbeat singing in the auto tune or this, that and the other. You know what I'm saying. You got people who want their rock how they like it. I like the nineties better stick. You can go back and listen to the nineties. Shut up over here, right, And I'm you know, I'm from way back, but I I still like new stuff. I'm like, I hate the nine shirt, That's right. I still I still have I still have a wish to work with Trent Reznor. You know what I'm saying. Oh well, let's make that happen. That would be cool. And a perfect example is last night.

5:21 Okay, So I went to see Kerry King. I went to ICP Kerry King, Motley Crue. Back in the day, I was at the first Slayer gig ever. Man well, I was at montlet My first club show ever was Motley Crue before they had an album, when they were more horror punk. They weren't glam yet. As soon as I started going Slayer shows are like you you got burn all your Motley Cruise shit, you can't be listening to Motley Crue and listening to Slayer, And that's the way the eighties was, man, and I always thought that was stupid, Like, let's hold band together as one big family, you know, and connect and and just make great music. It doesn't matter who's in the music, what's the music. You know. I've been to shows where slip Knot and Slayer were performing together, you know what I'm saying. I'm talking about on the same stage, man on the same tour. Yeah, you know what I mean. And you know it's just I forgot who else was on it, but it was a mixture of in different levels of rock and roll, you know, of our metal, you know what I'm saying. So it's like the people who wanted how they wanted, the so called gatekeepers, they can keep their fucking gates. Yeah, no doubt. And that's why I love about the Danny Wimmer festivals because there's always somebody like a Tech nine, There's always somebody like Electric call Boy. All these bands are playing here. They're not all like my next interview is Nights Are. I mean, that's not somebody that would normally be on metal festival, but they should be. Yeah, because like there's so many people out there that love that. How Icople do last night, man, oh my god, you wouldn't believe. Okay,

6:53 So their shows one of the wildest I've ever seen. It was on the garage stage, okay, and I've ever seen so many people for a main stage, much less of that stage. It was insane. The juggler movement is massive, and I definitely I got Fago all over me. Of course I was up, you know, in the pit area, and the other clowns are going to come out and spray the hell out of you. Yeah, But then to get there, I couldn't believe. I never had such a hard time on a non main stage to get to the front, and it was work. I had to work it like every way I possibly could. And then I got a funny story for you right for this.

7:36 So we leave there, we leave ICP and we're going to carry King and we go to the next stage over fight through the crowd. I'm thinking, man, this crowd's too nice here, because they were letting me. They were moving out of way as I'm walking towards where the pit's gonna be. You know. Then they do this like lighting stuff when it's about a start, and then David Draymond walks out, I was on the wrong fucking stage, and so that I'm like running through the crowd to get to the other stage. So I'll Gary Giggan and it's like, this is one thing I'm gonna tell you You're gonna see here tonight. I've never seen any Danny Wimmer festival or Rockville as many people as this. Welcome to Rockville this year.

8:26 Really, I mean the disturbed crowd. It took me a good fifteen minutes to get to the end of the crowd. Wow. Man, to get to the other stage. Wow. Everything was so packed last night. And I don't even think that was the best night. Oh man. I think today's the best night because Tech nine's there. Thank you, brother. I'm gonna murder things like I always do. And congratulations on the chiefs man, oh man, thank you man. You know I rep it everywhere I go. Man, you know, even when they weren't winning, I was there. That's a true fan, you know, because like I'm a Giants fan, and I rode through aly of years of crappy Giants. But you know, but my head engineer at the station, we talked about this before I think he passed away, but he was a huge Chiefs fan, so I think he helped them win. Had nothing to do with Taylor Swift Man.

9:20 The energy is everything, man, everybody's energy counted. I guess, well, that's what I'm saying, Like, who cares about anybody? You know, like if they're doing good things? Like you know, everybody has his controversy over the whole Taylor Swift Chiefs thing. It's like, shut up. They just need to They just need somebody to blame it on other than talent. Exactly one hundred percent. Patrick, I think one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. Yes, sir man, they call him the Jordan of football. Oh man, unbelievable Jordan football. There it is there. It is that My daughter has like a whole closet decade just to Eric Jordan's. She's like one of them. You know, she would love you. She'd be saying, she'd say, oh, you got a little mark on there, exactly exactly exactly. I asked my my tour manager, Hey, do I have to get boots? Is it dusty like usually? Is it muddy like it's usually usually as at the festivals? He say no, So I'm trusting him because I got to wear these home. I didn't bring a lot of stuff because I gotta go. I got here yesterday, and I do the show tonight, and I go right back to Kansas City tomorrow. You know what I mean to get ready for Mother's Day? You know, when my lady is so nice, you know, I don't need to have dusty shoes on.

10:26 You know, take pictures everywhere I go. So he said I didn't have to have boots. We gonna see. Is there any artists you haven't collabbed with that you really want to collab with? Trent Reslor's one of them. I've been looking at for years. I love his production, I love his voice, I love everything his energy. I heard the Metallica they I don't know if they still do it, but I heard they warm up to one of my songs. You know what I mean when they're about so me and James Headfield. Man, you know what I'm saying. My fans been waiting on that one too. You know, I just gotta find I just I'm not kind of artist to just put a guy on a beat just to have them on it, just to say I have it. Yeah, the song, the song with me and Corey Taylor. We have one called whether the track had to say it for me to take it to him and like play it for him like this is where I need you to go. You know the chorus right here and y d da da da da dah. You know. And it's people that I run into all the time on the hip hop scene, like Nas and he's like, what's up when you're gonna send me something? Send him one song way back? He said, Now, I don't want to do that when I don't want to talk about my kids or anything because it but when it was a song called my kids, and I said, Okay, I'll find something else. All these years later, I still haven't found anything. So it's about the vibe of the music, whether we can do like I sent speed him to Eminem. It's said to me, Eminem, we haven't done anything since, right, you know what I mean? Because the music has to I don't know. Ronnie had a vision to have Tech nine in the middle of this hard core metal. Wow,

11:56 you know what I'm saying. And it worked. It is you know what I'm saying. That vibe it's true though it doesn't matter who it is, right, it's how you connect, you know, and how it melds together. Yes, I just can't put any guy on a song just for clout. I can't do it. I can't do it anything else. You want to tell listeners that you got going on that we haven't talked about. Man, Yeah, I'm working on the album. I was supposed to turn it in the last Friday. I'm still not done. Called a COSM stands for class of Strange music. It's a Collabo's project that we haven't done in seven years, I think. And now we're coming back and giving you another Collabo's project. Nice, And I'm waiting on a lot of major features.

12:39 Still. Well, like I got hit some people up my phone, Like y'all, I was supposed to turn it in the last Friday, was up. Well you're busy, like you can't do it? All right? Did the symphony show last Saturday in Kansas City? How was that? It was crazy? Sixty five piece orchestra. Wow with my music? I love it. It was the hilt. Maybe it was the hilt, you know, might be the hilt. You know you've made it when you're doing symphony. It's like, look at all the bands that have done it. It's like, and they chose me, you know what I'm saying. They chose me, and they had a list of songs like last year when we first had the meeting, they had a list of songs they want to do, like they have worldwide choppers on there. They had everything. Am I a psycho?

13:22 All those songs that I do? Actually it was flattering, man. I see that's the ultimate cruss jun or stuff right there. Yep, yeah, yeah. I think you You and Joey need to perform tonight on stage together. I found out that he was here day before yesterday, so I didn't have time to rehearse the song, and I think the times don't match.
