00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:30,079
Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome to That's Not Metal. We are your

3
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,520
this Friday is an edition of Hyperblasts, our shorter form

00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:44,359
know everything that's been going down in the last week.

6
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,560
We let you know the beefs which I guess there

7
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,640
are some of some of interest this week, and we

8
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:51,759
just give you an insight I supposing to what is

9
00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:54,880
going on in the world right now. Particularly relevant this

10
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,960
week is big live shows once again as another summer

11
00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:02,320
of we were saying this, you know last year before

12
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:05,840
that particularly, I guess here in the UK summer shows

13
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,640
seem to be really racking up with like massive events,

14
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,200
not just festivals, but then bands doing their own you know,

15
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,480
big events and you know one off shows and stuff

16
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:18,799
like that. And we are very much in the midst

17
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:20,599
of We're gonna have another one next week, right, We're

18
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,159
in the midst of all of that kind of stuff

19
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,439
rolling on, So we've got some of that to talk about.

20
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,319
My name is parent Haish and with me mainly reporting

21
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,640
on that front this time is Sam Dignon.

22
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: Hello, Yes, yeah, unexpectedly busy event for weekly and I

23
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,400
was kind of just be like, oh, I was just

24
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:37,840
watching hell Fest clips online. That was kind of like

25
00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:39,879
what my week was gonna be. And then all the

26
00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:42,959
big stuff's happening this coming weekend. And then on Sunday

27
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,599
again message do I want a Metallica ticket? I was

28
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,480
like sure, why not? And then on Monday where I

29
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:50,120
was like do you want to free b fremcr?

30
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, just out of nowhere, I just wind up like

32
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:58,280
because I'm seeing I was planned to see my Chemical

33
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:00,560
Romance this Saturday. I was going I had a ticket

34
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,400
for that show, and they're doing, you know, like three

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,439
nights at Wembley Stadium, and evidently the Wednesday night, being

36
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:11,000
a Wednesday night, hadn't sold as well as the other two.

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,680
So my brother, through his work, was like, I've got

38
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:14,800
three tickets. I don't want to go see Mechanical Romance.

39
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,319
Speaker 3: Do you want him?

40
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:15,479
Speaker 1: Sam?

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, yes, yes, I would like to see

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,479
michaelmic Romance are free. Considering I paid one hundred odd

43
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,919
quid for the one charm now like this is now

44
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,680
like this is two Michamic Romance shows seventy pounds each.

45
00:02:26,719 --> 00:02:29,919
The math checks out, like good, this is good use

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:30,479
of my money.

47
00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: This is a very jammy week for you because I

48
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:35,360
just have to sit here and basically be jealous of

49
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:39,759
everything that you are discussing. Because Michemical Romance they did

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,719
play in Liverpool, but it ended up being you know,

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,599
quite expensive, and I went to see Sun the same

52
00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:47,319
night that they played Metallica doing the you know two

53
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:50,400
you know, no repeats weekend thing in the UK that's

54
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:53,000
only happening in London. They have done one off, you know,

55
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,439
individual shows other places in the UK, but they didn't

56
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:58,759
play in like the Northwest where I am. It was

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,840
you up in Glasgow or going over to you know,

58
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,280
Ireland or whatever if I wanted to go that and

59
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,280
I am very genuinely gutted to be missing out on

60
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:07,639
that one, and then you turn up.

61
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,759
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, I didn't even plan. To me, I

62
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,280
would say, don't be too jealous because you did get

63
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:17,560
spared watching Avatar. That's true.

64
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Honestly, Me and you, I think possibly had the most

65
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:24,360
polar opposite gig weeks it's possible to have. Because my

66
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:26,120
one thing I did is I went to go see

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,080
a tiny raw black metal band called Natalitch who had

68
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,280
come over from Canada playing in you know dingy Grutthole Venues,

69
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:36,759
and they had like a bill of support bands going

70
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:39,840
out with them, one of whom was Final Dose, who

71
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:42,919
we spoke about. So you know, Sam's just throwing the

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,680
horn to me there while taking a drink. Very much true.

73
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:46,599
Fanal Doos spoke about a lot last year they rip,

74
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,280
so I went to get to see them, along with

75
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:52,479
this really fucking cool, nasty like candelarbras and keyboards, you know,

76
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:56,759
raw scummy black metal band Natalich, which was all very good.

77
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,800
But then there you are again on the opposite end

78
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,479
of the spectrum with stadium spectacle after stadium spectacles. So

79
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:04,879
we are going to talk about the little bit of

80
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,039
news we have and the releases at the end, but

81
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,120
I imagine many people out there either went to these shows

82
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,280
and want to relive them or are just curious about

83
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:16,639
both the you know, Metallica being no repeats type stadium

84
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:19,360
show's been going through the UK and my Chemical Romance

85
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,279
stadium show doing twenty years of the Black Parade. So

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,759
I guess the first thirty forty minutes whatever that being

87
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:29,279
of this show is going to be talking all about

88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,120
those Metallica happened first. So let's get into that one.

89
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,959
Let me just clarify, you went to the obviously, as

90
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:37,959
I'm saying, there no repeats, weken two shows. You went

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,480
to the second night.

92
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 3: Second of the nights.

93
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I had a friend who had the ticket,

94
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,800
had the two tickets and the repeats, because again I

95
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,480
couldn't afford to drop two hundred odd quid on like

96
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,720
two Metallic shows. As like, I think, like, given two shows,

97
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:53,360
the bill they were bringing along with them, I think

98
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,959
that is you know, fair money for Metallicy to be

99
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,879
charging for these shows. But I just couldn't at the time,

100
00:04:56,959 --> 00:04:59,120
given the amount of other stuff I'd got going on

101
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,319
this summer, I was like, I can't afford it. And

102
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,279
then when on the day my friend who'd been to

103
00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:05,079
the first show with Kajia and.

104
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 3: Not Loose, was like, I can't make it to the

105
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:07,920
one stage.

106
00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:09,759
Speaker 2: You want me to just give my ticket mask Log

107
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,279
and you can just take my ticket and I'll do

108
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,800
you like a matriate for it. I was like, sound, yeah,

109
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,120
I'll take that, because I've i haven't seen Metallic rin

110
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,120
over a decade. And there was you know the other

111
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,480
thing of the support bands for this one. I mean

112
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:25,279
I've mentioned Avatar who might just be the worst band

113
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:28,319
I've seen this year, just woeful, abysmal.

114
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: They get really shown up by every other band on

115
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,759
the poster right when you put the two.

116
00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: Genuinely that they have like how they've wound up on

117
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:38,639
this I don't like. I didn't even know that they

118
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:41,600
were like that much for a draw like crazy, but

119
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,720
not for me and not for anyone if anyone has

120
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,519
taste really quite poor.

121
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: I left.

122
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:48,439
Speaker 2: I left halfway through the set to just go and

123
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:50,439
mosey about the concourse, and I was like, this is

124
00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:54,680
better than watching Avatar the other sport who I I

125
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,399
are a talking point on this one.

126
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: Pantera M so Panter.

127
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: I have long had conflicting feelings on this Pantera union,

128
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,639
like no denying it. Pantera are one of my favorite

129
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:12,680
metal bands ever. Those albums, those nineties Pantera albums, the

130
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,879
classics were so important in my music taste and getting

131
00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:18,839
me into metal. I think they are some of the

132
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:23,000
greatest metal songs you're ever gonna hear, like just unbelievable,

133
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,680
and then like so seeing those songs live on papers

134
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,480
to me is like overlos that's gonna be great.

135
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,519
Speaker 3: Obviously is well documented. We have discussed it. Many times

136
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:34,319
on this podcast.

137
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: There is a whole lot of baggage that comes with Pantera,

138
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,079
phil Aancelmo being the sort of the primary cause of it.

139
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:46,199
For me, I wouldn't buy a ticket to a Pantera show.

140
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 3: That's kind of why I think I would draw the line.

141
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: I don't think I would buy the tickets to see

142
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,279
this Pantera lineup. Again, you can discuss how Pantera is

143
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,360
as like that.

144
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 3: That's sort of a whole discussion.

145
00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:01,079
Speaker 2: I wouldn't feel necessarily right buying tickets Panthera show. But

146
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,240
if I'm going to see Metallica and Panterra put in

147
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:06,800
front of me, of course.

148
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,879
Speaker 3: I'm gonna gonna watch it.

149
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna see what, like, what it's like seeing this

150
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,360
Pantera lineup per forming these songs. And here's the thing,

151
00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:20,560
Like it was fucking brilliant. I I genuinely like, I was,

152
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,959
like I had to, I was. I'm shaking my head

153
00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:25,759
disapproving me the entire time, so everyone knows I don't like,

154
00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:29,199
I don't agree with this, but they were fucking unbelieva.

155
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:31,240
I'm gonna bring up the set list now quickly because

156
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:34,439
they had an hour and outside of not playing anything

157
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,160
off of greats of Trendkill, which is their best album,

158
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,879
Like it was unbelievable.

159
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:43,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's one of those things where with

160
00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:45,839
with you know, supporting Metallica in a stadium. Obviously Pantera

161
00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:48,319
themselves aren't a stadium level band, but to us, to

162
00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:53,839
metal fans, right, this is almost like it's a generational like,

163
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:57,759
you know, one of the all time greats right there

164
00:07:57,759 --> 00:07:59,279
with a set one of the few bands who have

165
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:01,279
a set list that if you gave them an hour

166
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:04,399
you could feasibly you know, level.

167
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely this is like metallically, No metallic will kind of

168
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,040
like doing like this is you know the eighties metal

169
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,319
kind of like and pandera like yeah, and this is

170
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,000
that for the Natties, And they were like honestly, like

171
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,600
I know, I know some people seem to sort of

172
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:21,040
have some gripes about the sound and Panterra, where I

173
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:23,160
was no no.

174
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:24,959
Speaker 3: Sound issues whatsoever for me.

175
00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:27,439
Speaker 2: But when they are coming out and they go straight

176
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,399
into a new level, I'm just like that fucking riff

177
00:08:31,839 --> 00:08:34,320
is the hardest shit ever. And they finish new level

178
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,159
and they go mouthful war strength beyond strength, becoming I'm broken,

179
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:42,279
as like the first half of the set like tom

180
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:47,559
on if you like metal, those songs are unbelievable and

181
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,720
they sounded tight. Then you get like a Cemetery Gates

182
00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:53,679
kind of interlude with the Abbott brothers on like on

183
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,960
the video screens, kind of like doing another tribute to them,

184
00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:58,559
and then the back end of the set list right

185
00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:03,440
five minutes alone, this love fucking hostile walk with them

186
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:05,960
their kind of a bit of their Fairies where Boots

187
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
cover tapped onto the end of it because it's one

188
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,000
year on from back to the beginning. And then they

189
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,240
don't play Domination, but they just play the breakdown from

190
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,039
Domination because yes, more bands, if you have a riff

191
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,080
that is that money, just play the money riff and

192
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,960
then go straight to hollow as like a mash up.

193
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:24,279
Fucking unreal because that beat that that Domination breakdown is

194
00:09:25,159 --> 00:09:27,919
everything I love about hardcore in that in that one

195
00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:29,120
breakdown it's unbelievable.

196
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,399
Speaker 3: And then wrapping up with Cowboys from Hell as an hour.

197
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,639
If you remove all the baggage, you cannot that there's

198
00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:39,360
feasibly very little that if you like metal, can be

199
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,080
better than that. It's so good.

200
00:09:42,639 --> 00:09:44,159
Speaker 2: I was my whole time I heard I was like

201
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,399
you gotta, you know, keep clarifying Filancelmo not a good person.

202
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,039
All that, Yes that I'm going to get more into

203
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,440
the grapes of the stage show. There was some panstration

204
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,720
that during Pantera where again during some because the mediator

205
00:09:56,799 --> 00:09:58,000
is the big circle they've got at the moment, and

206
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,360
I was in standing and there was moments in the

207
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:02,440
Pantre Sai where they were like right near me. I

208
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,679
wasn't even that near the front of the thing, but

209
00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:05,759
because the way the stage is up, you even with

210
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:07,799
a bit of a back during some point.

211
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 3: That you would have the most insane.

212
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:13,159
Speaker 2: View of of a like Philancelmo or Zach Wild just

213
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,200
ripping out these these riffs and solos and like I

214
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,639
mansed to get them doing some more favorite songs.

215
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,519
Speaker 3: It was fucking great.

216
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: And there are other moments of the set where you

217
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,279
kind of were just left watching the drama because the

218
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,679
rest of the band are over on the other side

219
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,240
of the stadium, and that that becomes more of an

220
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,440
issue during Metallica, for like an hour of Pantea where

221
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,159
they're constantly having to kind of like rotate to keep

222
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,039
the crowd engaged. It worked really well, but yeah, it

223
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,320
just was like such a reminder of how good Pantera

224
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,720
at their best these songs I don't neber go to

225
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:44,559
anyone who was turning their nosebent and sort of not

226
00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:45,919
want to go of it because of as I said,

227
00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:48,759
the baggage I mened several times, but for me, just

228
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,799
as a howl on warm up from Metallica, it's one

229
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,799
of the best port slots I've seen it, fucking it

230
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:55,320
at the end, like when they were doing again the

231
00:10:55,399 --> 00:10:57,720
sort of extended sort of break down the outros. You know,

232
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,600
Mark came on last year and was singing the praise

233
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,399
of five Finger Death Punch supporting Metallica. I'm allowed to

234
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:04,480
have this with with Pantera, who I am a better

235
00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:06,080
band than five Finger Death Punch.

236
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:07,399
Speaker 3: Let me have this o oh yeah.

237
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean the Pantera are in many ways the kind

238
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,879
of the you know, the forefather of the real one,

239
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,879
compared to the likes of fire Thinger Death punche Whether

240
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:18,559
this particular Panterra, you know, this incindation is the real one.

241
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,200
It's obviously another thing I'm similar to you in that

242
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:25,120
I like, you know, when Pantera they didn't play again

243
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,600
in the Northwest where I am, so I didn't have

244
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,240
that much to kind of you know, ethically think about.

245
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,639
But when they've come through and done a headline thing,

246
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,399
I didn't really entertain going. I don't know if I

247
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,879
would buy just a ticket to see Pantera right now.

248
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,960
But and we discussed that it doesn't really you know,

249
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,360
it's not quite the Pantera that we all know, and

250
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,039
the logistics and the ethics behind whether it you know,

251
00:11:47,159 --> 00:11:49,919
even as feels like or it is kind of condoned

252
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,080
to be so to speak, you know that that Pantera

253
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,240
is a different thing. But if I was, you know,

254
00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:56,600
again at a festival or in a support slots of

255
00:11:56,639 --> 00:11:59,080
one ers where it is in front of me, I

256
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:02,200
I've only heard where the show itself is really strong

257
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,440
and great, and maybe that's a karaoke thing to some degree,

258
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,440
but I've only heard that it's great Metallica, seeing as

259
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,000
this is the whole appeal of a particular Ttalica show

260
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,159
unless you are just doing one day, which you know,

261
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,039
a Metallica shows Metallica show in it. But the whole

262
00:12:15,039 --> 00:12:18,039
no repeat thing was the idea of them coming through. Yeah,

263
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,200
and basically you know, they take a you know, was

264
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,159
it like sixteen songs they're doing sixteen.

265
00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:27,039
Speaker 2: Sixteen each night Yeah, Yeah, thirty two Metallica songs you're

266
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:29,679
getting across the two nights, is that's a sweet deal.

267
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:29,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

268
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: And Metallica obviously a band where we've all got fucking

269
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:35,480
at least sixty songs that we want to see them doing.

270
00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:37,600
And I've you know, I felt this from when I've

271
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,120
seen Metallica being like that was fantastic. God, I wish

272
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,240
that you'd played for four more hours to see all

273
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:45,440
of those other classics that we've all grown up, you know,

274
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,639
listening to, And that was part of why I really

275
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:50,919
wanted to see this particular, you know, hot whole thing.

276
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,759
Even between these two settlers I'm looking at, they don't

277
00:12:53,799 --> 00:12:56,879
even cover all of those again songs And what you'd

278
00:12:56,919 --> 00:12:58,720
imagine for any of the band in these sistence would

279
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,960
be like staple every night songs don't even make it

280
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,720
onto this, you know, thirty thirty two. I'm gonna read

281
00:13:04,759 --> 00:13:07,720
out the set list from the first night just so

282
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:10,320
people know. These are the songs that they had already

283
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:13,840
covered by the time that they got to you, Creeping Death,

284
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,519
Harvester of Sorrow, Holier than Thou of Wolf, and mann

285
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,679
Luxe Turner. If Darkness had a son, Fader, Black cyanide

286
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:25,720
oryan nothing else matters, sad but true, hard Wired, Fuel,

287
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,440
Seek and Destroy, Master of Puppets. So the show that

288
00:13:29,519 --> 00:13:32,120
you saw, every one of those songs that I just

289
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:36,279
read was like already deemed done, you know what I mean,

290
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,399
they could afford to leave those out.

291
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,639
Speaker 3: I didn't get a single Marster Puppets song.

292
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: That's wild. I thought they would break those.

293
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: Out of lists.

294
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: But the first that was very much the Master of

295
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,919
Puppets night, and then my night was black Album, Ride

296
00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:51,000
the Lightning and Justice for All kind of getting more

297
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:52,919
of the sort of I guess the shine, But yeah,

298
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:55,799
I didn't get a single Master Puppets song. That to me,

299
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,799
it's like even some of THEFF they didn't play, like

300
00:13:57,879 --> 00:14:00,720
no Battery, that wasn't on there at all. Yeah, Dan,

301
00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:04,759
And that's of course two nights I didn't play battery Battery,

302
00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:07,919
Like this is what this Metallica, this is and and

303
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,960
it is just the nature of Metallica, like having that

304
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,320
many ten out of ten songs, like you know what

305
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,559
you're gonna do aside from cutting Kirk and Rob fucking about.

306
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I've just realized we said the sixteen songs

307
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,559
thirty two songs. That's not really true because one of

308
00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:27,159
those is the Doodle. So thirty songs again.

309
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,639
Speaker 3: Which I mean, okay, only thirty Metallica songs? How dare

310
00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:31,960
they be?

311
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:34,399
Speaker 1: Yeah? So of the of the fifteen that you saw,

312
00:14:34,559 --> 00:14:37,840
I can see right here how this went. And it

313
00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:39,519
opens up with Whiplash, which is a hell of a

314
00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:42,440
way to go. So how how was the Metallica experiencing

315
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,399
at least one half of the note repeats weekend.

316
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: Opening with Whiplash, For Whom the Bell Tolls and Ride

317
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:48,919
the Lightning.

318
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,279
Speaker 3: I'm just like old school baby.

319
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: Three in the in the bit of stating where I

320
00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:58,279
stood so for this opening run where again Right the

321
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,919
Lightning is my favorite Metallica album. Getting for Whom the

322
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,639
Bell Toll was on the title track right when they're

323
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,200
right in front of me fucking eight, I was that

324
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,679
was great, and like Whiplash, was a really fun opener.

325
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:10,440
There's something about Metallica opening with a kill them All

326
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,799
song that kind of just makes me happy. The first

327
00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:13,799
one I saw them, they opened to hit the Lights

328
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:15,720
and it's just such a it's such a feel good

329
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,840
way to start metallic sex.

330
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: Obviously, Kill them All kind of rocks and rolics.

331
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,279
Speaker 2: In a way that other Metallica albums don't always it's

332
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,639
a it's just always got that slightly more kind of

333
00:15:26,039 --> 00:15:27,120
rock and roll kind of thing.

334
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: It's new way for British having met all played by

335
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,679
youthful maniacs playing it faster and harder than anyone before them.

336
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:37,720
It's just it's the most full of spark and you know,

337
00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:38,879
fucking useful.

338
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: It crackles in a way that again they get him

339
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,600
Attacker doesn't. So when you're open with Whiplash and you're

340
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,080
getting there and again like Metallica, aren't you know, stringis

341
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,360
and more, but they still come out and attack Whiplash

342
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,679
as an opener, which figure I have to say, Like

343
00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:52,799
I've heard he had mixed things about James as a

344
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,440
vocalist in recent times, he was on really good form.

345
00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:56,879
I don't know if it's just been on this tour,

346
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,799
if he's just kind of like found his voice a

347
00:15:58,799 --> 00:15:59,320
bit more again.

348
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: But like it's not obviously I'm not pulling the whole

349
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,720
He's never sound a better thing.

350
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: But from what you're going to hear about, like oh,

351
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:08,159
Hetfield canna be a bit ropy these days, I think

352
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,919
he was on really good form of for the rest

353
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,360
of the band, like Lars was mostly in time, like

354
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,120
I would say, like Lars was pretty solid, and Metallica

355
00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:19,399
the one thing I will say is that always the

356
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,480
loudest band you're ever gonna see live. I don't know

357
00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:24,080
what it is, but when Metallica come out, everything is

358
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:26,960
just cranked up to the max, but it's all crystal clear,

359
00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:28,919
like when I see some bands and everything's like like

360
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,879
turned uptid as it can and it is just some

361
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,720
kind of like overwhelming mess of sound and you know,

362
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,000
pip things out. Metallica makes to sound louder than everyone else,

363
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,240
but also sound clear and like you know what you're

364
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,559
listening to. And I mean that is one of the

365
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,519
real sweet things about the Metallica's live show. Obviously, the

366
00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:49,399
actual live show pretty bare bones, and this one I'm

367
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:51,080
gonna get onto my one big.

368
00:16:50,879 --> 00:16:53,639
Speaker 3: Criticism of the night, which is the staging.

369
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,919
Speaker 2: Like I think this Metallic stage show, if you're in

370
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,399
the snake pit, it must be amazing. If you're stood

371
00:16:58,759 --> 00:17:00,960
in the middle of this big circle and Metallica are

372
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,399
playing all around you and you can kind of turn

373
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,960
around and just sort of follow Metallica around, that's really cool.

374
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,480
I think if you were seated the stage again probably

375
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:10,680
was less of an issue because you've got a white

376
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:12,680
sort of a further back view you can kind of see

377
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,839
everything for standing, as I said, there will be some

378
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,240
bits where like because also I don't know if this

379
00:17:19,279 --> 00:17:20,880
was something need this night or the other night where

380
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:22,400
it actually felt like for a lot of shit, the

381
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,279
band were quite kind of playing close together rather than

382
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,279
kind of taking a like quadrant of the stage each

383
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,519
so there was no more of them kind of playing

384
00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:32,319
in blocks, and it was just kind of weird. Then

385
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,920
because of this opening thing, they moved round to the

386
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,960
next part of the circle and I was kind of

387
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,960
having to like squint to see that the head of

388
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:43,160
like James just popping up over like I could see

389
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,200
when they finished, there was a big onesie that would

390
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,480
g and walk around the stadium with them, and I'm like,

391
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,960
you shouldn't have to, you know, walk around the stadium

392
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,680
to follow the live show as it's going on.

393
00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:54,039
Speaker 3: It's my one gripe.

394
00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: And again I get it because it is like it's

395
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,680
for the lucky few who are in that snakepit that

396
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,559
they are clearly building, and those people have probably paid. However,

397
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,920
much like to get those tickets, and fine, they if

398
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,359
they pay that much to get the best view. But

399
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,119
it was just a minor frustration where there were some

400
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,680
parts of set where I could hear Metallica, but the

401
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,319
only way I could see Metallica was by looking up

402
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,359
at the big screens on the towers around like the stage,

403
00:18:16,519 --> 00:18:19,119
and that to me was just a little bit frustrating.

404
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:21,680
It's my one My one critiz is about this whole

405
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,680
set is just the staging where I was in the

406
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,559
general in the sort of the general access standing, not

407
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,319
the greatest.

408
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: I've never actually thought it looks cool, is the thing,

409
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,440
because I agree that you know, I I've seen Metallica

410
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,039
in this kind of in the round setup, but from

411
00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:38,680
the seats where I could look down and look at

412
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,519
you know, I could see all of them mentality, But

413
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,039
I've never thought if you see photos or videos and everything,

414
00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:46,960
I don't think it actually Again, you are right in

415
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,880
terms of if you're in the snake pit, then that's

416
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,440
the primo experience. I think there is a degree of

417
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,519
you know, obviously, when they it's they're one thing to

418
00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:56,039
get considering they are, you know, the biggest metal band

419
00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:59,039
ever stadium band wherever, they go. It does allow them

420
00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:02,599
to get kind of up to every seat like that.

421
00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:05,039
That's one cynical way, But I was going to say

422
00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:06,799
it allows them to get up close and personal with

423
00:19:06,839 --> 00:19:08,880
the fans in a way that the ninety nin percent

424
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,839
stadium fans weren't because even you know, yeah, there are

425
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,200
bits where they wander away, but those bits where James

426
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,559
Hetfield or you know, Kirk or whoever is right in

427
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:16,839
front of you, that is.

428
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, you really cool, really cool.

429
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: Unbelievably close to you know, a fucking larger than life

430
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:26,799
icon compared to again any number of stadium shows out there.

431
00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:28,759
So and from a musician's point of view, you know,

432
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:30,279
being able to play these shows where you can still

433
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:32,119
get up right in the faces of the fans, I

434
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,880
can understand the appeal there. But because it spreads them

435
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,759
out when you see photos and stuff or even just

436
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:39,559
you know, watching watching them right there, there's a certain

437
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,720
level of like each individual musician when they spread out,

438
00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:46,839
looks so like isolated, like and like on their own,

439
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,799
Like Lars is just a drum kit sort of in

440
00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:51,279
a middle of an empty space, rob Will where you

441
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,000
kind of you are wandering around somewhere, and even though

442
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,759
they are obviously they're playing together. There's something about the

443
00:19:56,759 --> 00:19:59,759
the togetherness and like the physical you know, sense of

444
00:19:59,759 --> 00:20:02,519
like what watching a band really crunching together and play

445
00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:06,519
when they are standing fucking thirty meters apart from one

446
00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:08,839
another and each individual one is just like in their

447
00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:11,920
own pocket. And because again there's not like a huge

448
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,960
stage show behind them or something, because they are right

449
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:18,119
right in the middle. I think it does subtract from

450
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,720
just like the visual you know, the show and the

451
00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:27,400
spectacle and the wow factor, cool fucking image factor. I

452
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,559
think again, the trade off is getting some parts of

453
00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:32,920
the show where James Depfield is right fucking up in

454
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,279
your grill right, which you don't get at most stadium shows.

455
00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:37,359
So I can understand that they're thinking. But from a

456
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,559
visual spectacle, I've never thought you never see a Metallica

457
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,160
stage and go wow, that looks fucking amazing in the

458
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,000
way that you do quite a number of other big

459
00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:47,960
metal bands or if.

460
00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: We're about to get onto after sure.

461
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, but even when you think about bands who are

462
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:54,519
playing smaller venues like bands of like Iron Maiden or whatever,

463
00:20:54,559 --> 00:20:56,400
they can put on big like you just look at

464
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,640
the stage and go that's a fucking amazing image.

465
00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:01,799
Speaker 3: Well did you see I mean last year was it

466
00:21:01,839 --> 00:21:02,599
the west Ham? Yeah?

467
00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:04,559
Speaker 1: I did see them at the London Stadium. Yeah.

468
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, so you've seen them kind of put on

469
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:09,519
their Iron Maiden spectacle in.

470
00:21:09,519 --> 00:21:12,079
Speaker 1: That it's just not as cool watching fucking Kirk Hammett

471
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,559
wander around on his own thirty meters away from every

472
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:16,000
other member of the band is just what I'm saying.

473
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 2: So this is what I was saying, like, because I

474
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,640
actually felt like they did play more together on this night.

475
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,119
They were and of wandering a part which went in

476
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,759
a way it was like, cool, they're actually kind of

477
00:21:25,799 --> 00:21:28,000
like jamming as a band and kind of playing off

478
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,119
each other. But also just meant that because they were

479
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,160
doing that, there were longer porters. Well I didn't even

480
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,720
get you know, Kirk or Rob wander over to where

481
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,319
I was. And I agree, like the bit you get

482
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,640
amazing moments in there, but it does just kind of

483
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,480
as a whole experience to tract. As for the rest

484
00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:48,319
of said you know, seventy two Seasons and Screaming Suicide.

485
00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:50,400
I'll take those two off that album. You know, Luck

486
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,920
of Tournament is kind of like the one you want,

487
00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:55,880
but those are two of like the decent tracks off

488
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,799
of like the latest album, the Kirk and Rob Doodle.

489
00:21:58,839 --> 00:22:02,119
As I've mentioned, binning off Like, like I've always said,

490
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,960
in long sets, I appreciate a bit of pissing about,

491
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,160
But I don't even Metallica actually play for long enough

492
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,960
to justify the pissing about. Maybe it's just like that

493
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,519
James and Last need that needed a break, They need

494
00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:15,720
to sort of take a moment, and Kirk and Rob

495
00:22:15,759 --> 00:22:18,799
covering Sabbath and the Sex Pistols badly is just a

496
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,160
chance for them to sort of like reset.

497
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: Maybe, but that was.

498
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 2: You know, a bit of a momentum killer. But then

499
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,200
you know, the Day that Never Comes. Like I'm not

500
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,559
a big Death Magnetic fan, I think that song's cool.

501
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:32,119
It was really cool to hear that lie.

502
00:22:32,319 --> 00:22:34,759
Speaker 1: That's one of the I do have a big soft

503
00:22:34,759 --> 00:22:38,480
spot for Death Magnetic production. Aside, Yeah, they Know It Comes,

504
00:22:38,519 --> 00:22:38,880
I think.

505
00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 2: Is three songs off that album that you'd say are

506
00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:42,799
like legit.

507
00:22:43,039 --> 00:22:45,319
Speaker 1: I would go to say at least half of that

508
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,440
record is brilliant, but I would certainly say that The

509
00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:50,039
Day Never Comes is in. It's been proven by time, right,

510
00:22:50,039 --> 00:22:52,279
the fact they're still here it's in the when you

511
00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:54,279
think about the twenty first century songs and the Moth

512
00:22:54,279 --> 00:22:56,400
into Flames and stuff that are like the genuine classics

513
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,279
Day never Comes, I think undeniably one of those.

514
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:02,839
Speaker 2: It's with something like Cyanide off that album, where like

515
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,359
there are just a couple of tracks off that on

516
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,079
that that do earn their place and like and in

517
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,359
a stadium it sounded huge because it is kind of

518
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,200
a real kind of like sweeping, stirring like track that

519
00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:15,480
builds cool.

520
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:17,559
Speaker 3: Of Ctulhu as instrumental, that was.

521
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,599
Speaker 2: That was cool again, Like I like right the way

522
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,160
that that was coo instrumental. Unforgiven Whiskey in the Jar cover,

523
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,680
which I've never been like the biggest fan of that cover,

524
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,400
but you know, that was a really fun sick It's

525
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,440
a really fun sing along. It's it's not my favorite

526
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,359
Metallica cover as all like, but as a sort of

527
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,039
a fun sing along towards the end of the set,

528
00:23:35,319 --> 00:23:38,880
right Blackened, which to me, that should be like a

529
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,839
song that Metallica never ever don't play like surely black

530
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:42,759
and should be infestimating.

531
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: You just said that they across the two unites, they

532
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,559
didn't play Battery right and they and they've not got

533
00:23:49,599 --> 00:23:51,559
fight fire with fire in here either, so that like

534
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,519
you know, track one Metallica, crazy ripper. They just have

535
00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:58,200
such a number of them to choose from them, so many,

536
00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:01,240
they have so many, Yeah, cycle and that was but.

537
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, Blackhoo looks fucking amazing.

538
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: Mof into Flame, which again like that is obviously that's

539
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,200
the one off of hard Whire that has long kind

540
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,359
of like cemented itself as the real big one. And

541
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,039
that was where they actually towards the end of the

542
00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:16,200
set cranked up the stage show because off in the

543
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,119
Flame fire like they had a load of fire shooing

544
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:19,640
out of stage.

545
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: That was cool.

546
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,759
Speaker 2: One again more fire kind of explosions all that, like

547
00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:27,000
it's one. It's like the best thing ever. I did

548
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,119
admittedly cut out when Salmon started.

549
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 3: I was like I love Metallica and then like they

550
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,039
got the big balls out and that was fun.

551
00:24:33,079 --> 00:24:35,319
Speaker 2: But I was like, I want to beat the crowd

552
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,799
and get on the train home because I've suffered getting

553
00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:40,759
away from football games at that stadium many a time.

554
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,960
I was I was like I'm getting out ahead of

555
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,279
the crowd. I'm like Metallica even great, and Salmon obviously

556
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,559
like you know, one of the biggest tunes ever. I

557
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,359
don't need to see this, so I did make a

558
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,599
hasty retreat, but it was as a kind of like

559
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,480
someone who hasn't say it again, has seen Metallic for

560
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:01,160
a decade. Quibbles with the stage aside, really cool set

561
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,960
list again, like playing or Ride the Lightning, which well

562
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,359
for me big fan of like the title track. When

563
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,559
that billy kicked in third, I was like, let's fucking go.

564
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,960
They did sound like as good as I think Metallic

565
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,599
at this stage in their career possibly could sound doodle. Aside,

566
00:25:17,839 --> 00:25:19,880
they seem to be enjoying during this sort of like

567
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,880
stage where they're playing again like these songs, these two

568
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,359
nights like getting to sort of really kind of explore

569
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,400
their catalog, and it was just you know, the Metallica show,

570
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,000
they're gonna come into it, and like, yeah, I don't

571
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,680
think you're ever going to really get a bad Metallica

572
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,039
show because it's just look at the set list they're

573
00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:37,119
gonna play, look at those songs. But this was a

574
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,160
nice kind of like unexpected treat And I think if

575
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,119
you've got you know, if you went to both nights,

576
00:25:42,519 --> 00:25:45,200
you probably were just like absolutely giddy. With the amount

577
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,119
of Metallica good shit you got across those two nights.

578
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 3: It was a real cool, real cool show.

579
00:25:50,039 --> 00:25:52,799
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm really disappointed that, you know, through not going

580
00:25:52,839 --> 00:25:54,519
to download a couple of years ago as well, and

581
00:25:54,519 --> 00:25:56,799
then just them not deciding to play in you know,

582
00:25:56,839 --> 00:25:59,279
the cities in my vicinity, that I didn't manage to

583
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:01,200
get to see any of this, because it's been fucking

584
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,319
ages since I've see Batallica as well, and I've wanted to,

585
00:26:03,519 --> 00:26:05,359
you know again, come and be part of this party

586
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000
for a while. You do wonder seeing as as we said,

587
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,279
you know, we've they've already done download here doing this

588
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:14,799
particular type you know, two nights setup. They've taken this

589
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,480
no repeats weekend like all around the world at this stage.

590
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,440
I can't imagine there are too many territories left that

591
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,480
they haven't done. They've come back to the UK and

592
00:26:22,519 --> 00:26:24,440
done it. It's been like at least sort of you know,

593
00:26:24,599 --> 00:26:29,720
three ish years, right that they've been doing this two yeah, yeah,

594
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:32,079
So you wonder how long this will be going on

595
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:34,680
and once that does, you know, come to a close,

596
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:37,640
what wolstly will be the next thing in store for

597
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,720
them Atallica. But I guess we might not have to

598
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,039
wait incredibly long fingers crossed to see what that might

599
00:26:43,079 --> 00:26:44,839
end up being. But that wasn't the end of the

600
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,519
big extravaganzas for you, because, as as said, My Chemical Romance,

601
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,400
twenty years of the Black Parade tour they've been doing.

602
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,480
My couple Romans have come around quite a few times. Again,

603
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,920
I've still not seen them, you know, since they've been

604
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,519
coming back and everything, but they've done a few different

605
00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:02,599
sort of types of tour. But this one seems to

606
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,839
be if when they first came back and I know

607
00:27:04,839 --> 00:27:06,640
they played that Milton Keen show and all that, that

608
00:27:06,759 --> 00:27:10,480
was just like look mcra back right and almost I

609
00:27:10,519 --> 00:27:12,599
know that he would change outfits for occasionally on the show,

610
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,039
but like almost like weirdly casual looking Michael kroumant at times.

611
00:27:16,519 --> 00:27:21,680
This twenty years celebration of their most like Pompus theatrical album,

612
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,000
this seems to be like the genuine, what the fuck

613
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,440
actual like piece of theater Michemical Romance show.

614
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:32,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

615
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,279
Speaker 2: So the thing is, when Michael Romance came back, this

616
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,200
was like the last thing I wanted them to do.

617
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:40,400
I didn't want Michael Rommins to squeeze back into the

618
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,920
Black Parade jackets and like pedal nostalgia. To me, initially

619
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,839
my hopes of kind of like Michael Romins as a

620
00:27:46,839 --> 00:27:49,440
credit force. After Foundations of the K was amazing and

621
00:27:49,599 --> 00:27:50,920
those Milky shows were great, I was.

622
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, this is you know, we're probably a Micham

623
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:53,519
CRMs back then.

624
00:27:53,519 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: We've had fuck all since then, so I've kind of

625
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,000
just accepted maybe Michael mcrummins are just kind of like

626
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,519
a legacy act now fine, like it fine, but so.

627
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,039
Speaker 3: Here's thing like they're doing.

628
00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:06,279
Speaker 2: You know this, this this long lived the Black Parade

629
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,960
tour has been going like fruit's gone for all for America.

630
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 3: It's been going on for about two years now.

631
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,799
Speaker 2: That like and and when it kind of came up

632
00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:15,960
that they'd come up with an entirely new conceptual narrative

633
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,880
for The Black Parade, which was already a concept album

634
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,240
and they have completely reworked the narrative and come up

635
00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:24,480
with something totally new for I was like, Okay, maybe

636
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,519
this isn't just getting back on getting the jacket back

637
00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:30,400
on and selling nostalgia. To me, I was really intrigued

638
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,839
at that, which is why when it got announced going

639
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:32,039
to you.

640
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,039
Speaker 3: I was like, I want to be at these shows.

641
00:28:34,039 --> 00:28:34,400
I want to.

642
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: See what this new, reimagined welcome, this renew reimagined Black

643
00:28:40,759 --> 00:28:45,200
Parade actually is. And it turns out everything that me

644
00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:47,599
getting into Michael Grummit when I was like sixteen seventeen

645
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,160
years old as a fearter kid who was also into

646
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,200
metal and punk and email and all that sort of thing.

647
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,319
This is everying I had envisioned that I'd ever wanted

648
00:28:56,319 --> 00:28:58,400
a live show to be, which is an eighty minute,

649
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:04,480
full on eighty minute theatrical musical theater slash live rock

650
00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:07,839
gig hybrid, like say, taking a fifty two minute album

651
00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:11,119
and turning into a narrative, kind of driven, like eighty

652
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:16,480
minute performance piece. So good and and like I'll obviously

653
00:29:16,519 --> 00:29:18,799
go into it. I will say Skunkin' and Sy supporting

654
00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:20,960
was very cool to actually finally see Skunking Antsy. They're

655
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,799
one of those bands that was kind of respected more

656
00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:24,799
than been the biggest fan of, but they're like they

657
00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:28,039
were like an interesting call that that's a that's a

658
00:29:28,119 --> 00:29:30,599
nice support thing to try to bring out clearly kind

659
00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:32,880
of bring up bands that they just like and want to,

660
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,359
you know, play shows of it. And I thought like

661
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,400
they were very good, very sot of energy, can kind

662
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,359
of actually engage with the fans and trying to and

663
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,599
get the Michael Grummins fans on their side for the performance.

664
00:29:42,599 --> 00:29:44,720
I thought it was a nice kind of warm up

665
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,480
for the gig, but the Michael gromance for itself. So

666
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,200
there is so much to this. So their stage is up,

667
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,200
but before they even come on stage, there are like

668
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,519
messages appearing like that are kind of like you know,

669
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,839
propaganda kind of message peering up the The whole thing is

670
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:04,640
themed on this fictional like nation called Drug which is

671
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,359
basically Nazi Germany mixed with Soviet Russia kind of like

672
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,920
aesthetically just all of that, Like the font is very

673
00:30:12,079 --> 00:30:14,319
Soviet Russia. It's all very brutalist, and it's kind of

674
00:30:14,359 --> 00:30:17,680
like architecture. You're getting these fake news reports popping up

675
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,920
on the screens, fake commercials for you know, cruel is

676
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:27,200
it like this this miserable, horrid dystopian dictatorship. But everything's great,

677
00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:29,920
actually thumbs up, everyone is having a great time.

678
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 3: No one here is miserable at all. We're doing great.

679
00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:34,359
Speaker 2: And that's the kind of like set up where you

680
00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:36,720
getting there and then before they even come on stage.

681
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 3: You're then getting like a military drum procession coming on.

682
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: You're getting these characters appearing who are all in like

683
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,680
military uniform that aren't the black trade one, but they

684
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,759
are like part of this whole drug thing. And then

685
00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:51,480
you know, you get all rise for the drug national

686
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,759
anthem and it's a so fictionational mentham and then outcomes

687
00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:01,079
the General himself, who is this dictator character like essentially

688
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,559
Trump meets Putin, kind of like fixedized version of that.

689
00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:08,519
It's not subtle, not subtle in the slightest. They are

690
00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:11,599
painting with the kind of like very obvious. This is

691
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,480
taking shots at Putin and Trump, and you can also

692
00:31:14,519 --> 00:31:16,519
almost read into a kind of like shot at their

693
00:31:16,559 --> 00:31:19,480
own kind of like feverishly coltish fan based times. That's

694
00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:21,319
one sort of thing I saw people discussing is like

695
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,319
this whole kind of like cult like dedication to a

696
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,039
like leading figure. Is is it all that? But it

697
00:31:26,119 --> 00:31:30,119
is very much a political statement of like these culture

698
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,039
personalities leading us to their to our doom kind of thing.

699
00:31:33,079 --> 00:31:36,200
That's the kind of broad setup. So they've introduced the

700
00:31:36,279 --> 00:31:38,079
General and then the band actually come out and they

701
00:31:38,079 --> 00:31:43,119
are essentially the propaganda machine for drag the Black Parade

702
00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:45,960
are you know, the the Rah Rah troops. They will

703
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,640
sing about how great drug is. They will motivate everyone.

704
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,759
They will deliver the message of the General, setting the

705
00:31:51,799 --> 00:31:56,240
scene and then boom Dead kicks in and Michael Grummance

706
00:31:56,319 --> 00:31:58,680
sounds fucking awesome, like and you are interesting in the

707
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,319
Black Parade Live between sort of songs, you're getting Joe

708
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:04,160
kind of introducing the General and saying like we're doing

709
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,839
this for the good of drug and all of this

710
00:32:06,839 --> 00:32:09,000
sort of stuff. You meet like the Secretary, the sort

711
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,519
of chief of propaganda. These characters come on and like

712
00:32:11,799 --> 00:32:13,240
in between songs, you kind of get moments were like

713
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:15,480
kind of like quite broad pantomime where the acting is

714
00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:18,079
very big. They're not talking, but you know, it's all

715
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,400
very much conveyed through their gestures and the props they're

716
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,480
holding up and all that sort of stuff. And you

717
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:24,839
get through, you know, the opening run of the album,

718
00:32:24,839 --> 00:32:27,000
which is like the end, this is how I just appear.

719
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,039
The Sharpest Lives is kind of just like the band

720
00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:30,920
playing it doesn't go bigg inter narrative, and then it's

721
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,599
when you get to Welcome to the Black Parade, where

722
00:32:33,599 --> 00:32:37,400
obviously this is you know, the anthem for like an

723
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,640
entire generation of like teenagers growing up in the two thousands,

724
00:32:42,279 --> 00:32:46,839
and it's repurposed as the anthem to rally about this

725
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,599
nation that is like so good and nothing is wrong

726
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:55,000
and the kind of like fun jabs at propaganda and

727
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:56,559
all of that, and there's like, we're singing this for

728
00:32:56,599 --> 00:32:58,079
the Black parades who've come before us.

729
00:32:58,079 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: You know, we're the fifty sixth like unit of.

730
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 2: The Black Parade or something like that is what Gerard's saying.

731
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,880
And it is like and it's so kind of like

732
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,319
broaden that, but like that song is still spine tingling.

733
00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:12,240
You hear that first piano note and it just what

734
00:33:12,319 --> 00:33:14,920
it does to a crowd is insane, Like you said

735
00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:18,359
that note and gone. And then when Black Parade finishes,

736
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,359
this is where the narrative sort of starts starts to

737
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:22,720
really kick into overdrive because they do this thing where

738
00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:26,839
like Gerard is at saying, oh, the General wishes you

739
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,960
partake in democracy, or like wills you to partake in democracy.

740
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,160
So when you enter the stadium, you're handed a card

741
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,880
which has a year or nay sign on it, and

742
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,480
they're basically like like essentially for some frivolous reason, these

743
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:40,240
men paraded to the front of the stage are on

744
00:33:40,359 --> 00:33:42,960
trial to be executed, and we want you to vote

745
00:33:43,119 --> 00:33:45,480
do we execute them or do we spare them?

746
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,599
Speaker 3: And it's it's a sham vote essentially, but.

747
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 2: Like you're you know, the audience say, whatever happens, the

748
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,640
audience is going to hold up the one that gets

749
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,359
them executed. So then you get these like cardboard kind

750
00:33:55,359 --> 00:33:58,440
of soldier things rise about the ground, they'll fire, Pyro

751
00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:00,319
goes off and like the bodies drop and it's like,

752
00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:01,480
this is democracy.

753
00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:02,759
Speaker 3: These men deserve to die.

754
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: This was all for the good of drag And it's

755
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,320
like it's so playful and kind of like the stabs

756
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,000
it's making, but it is it's so clear Gerard's brain

757
00:34:11,119 --> 00:34:12,960
is like he's dreamt this up for so long and

758
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,280
he's now just getting into sort of parade around the

759
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,880
stage and do this sort of narrative. You then get

760
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,519
to you know, but time you get to Mamma, the

761
00:34:19,599 --> 00:34:22,320
narratives women an underground bunker and there's like nuclear war

762
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,480
and then on the sort of the breakdown bit of

763
00:34:24,519 --> 00:34:27,880
Mumma where it all goes off, the stage erupts into flames,

764
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,360
the nukes are fired, that drag, the bombs are going off.

765
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,840
You get a guy running around the stage on fire,

766
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,119
like in the full on like flame stunt kind of

767
00:34:35,159 --> 00:34:39,199
suit running around the stage waving his arms around on

768
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:40,320
that breakdown, and I was kind.

769
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 3: Of like, this is again, just so.

770
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 2: The spectacle is such a step up from what I've

771
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,079
seen in a good while. And the narrative where Jarge

772
00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:51,880
starts to get disenfranchised with his position as the propaganagy.

773
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:54,000
He takes a dag and is like, maybe I should

774
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:56,679
be the one to put a stop to this. Then

775
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,360
the next song you get drug firing their nuclear missiles.

776
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,320
You see on the screen all the bot nukes going off,

777
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,360
and it's teenagers. Is all propaganda videos playing everywhere, And

778
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,960
by the time you get to you know, famous last

779
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,559
Words at the end of the record, the entire stage

780
00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:13,159
is on fire. There is a countdown basically going and

781
00:35:13,199 --> 00:35:16,360
it is counting down into basically the end of Dragon.

782
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,559
It's kind of like the band trying to defiantly will

783
00:35:18,599 --> 00:35:21,079
you on with famous last Words and like Eving's on fire.

784
00:35:21,159 --> 00:35:23,960
The nation is under attack, but we can keep going,

785
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,840
we can keep doing this, And then by the end

786
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,559
when you get to the reprise of the end, like

787
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:31,239
I mean famous last words Ramstein levels of pyro, like

788
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,800
they did the thing where you have like the sort

789
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,920
of sound towels and they've got the fire shooting back

790
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,760
and forth between them, the fire going off and them,

791
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,840
the fire on the top of the stage, the entire

792
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,840
front of the stage on fire props and stuff on

793
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,280
the side that have now been lit up, so the

794
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,920
fire is are encroaching around the band, like do you

795
00:35:46,039 --> 00:35:48,480
like real kind of like apocalyptic imagery to nail this

796
00:35:48,559 --> 00:35:52,239
kind of like nation that is on fire. And then

797
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,119
by the end of it, when they are reprising the end,

798
00:35:54,159 --> 00:35:56,400
after everything is burnt out and driving is a husk,

799
00:35:56,599 --> 00:35:58,559
Gerard is stabbed, the rest of the band are like

800
00:35:58,559 --> 00:36:01,119
put black hoods over their heads and bragged away, and

801
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:02,840
one of the other characters who is now just as

802
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,280
a clown, has like a suicide bomb best and blows

803
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,320
himself up to try and just like gender and even

804
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,800
at the end of it, the general were still just

805
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,159
left standing there after all, like the nations burned to

806
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,880
a Chris. This this maniac cult leader figure has sort

807
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,639
of driven led everyone to their doom and left the

808
00:36:20,639 --> 00:36:23,199
world at burnt husk in his way and he's still standing.

809
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,239
Again not very subtle in this sort of narrative, but

810
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,199
as someone who loves loves theater and has always kind

811
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,119
of loved the idea of bands doing it, but I

812
00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:34,559
think band there's not enough bands with the actual mad

813
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:37,639
spark and genuine love for theater and whimsy to pull

814
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:38,280
this thing off.

815
00:36:38,639 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 3: Michael Rowance pulled off of Flying Colors.

816
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,159
Speaker 2: For me, it's one of my favorite stage shows I've

817
00:36:42,199 --> 00:36:45,119
ever seen, just as a like a great bit of spectacle,

818
00:36:45,159 --> 00:36:48,519
and it's the right music, it's the right band. And

819
00:36:48,559 --> 00:36:49,880
I'm not saying every man should.

820
00:36:49,679 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 3: Try something like this, because I think again most of

821
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,159
them would fuck it up.

822
00:36:52,199 --> 00:36:55,199
Speaker 2: I think Ghosts could potentially do it Cohed give Give

823
00:36:55,239 --> 00:37:00,719
Cloudy a spaceship like But it was as a great

824
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,599
be spectacle, which is one of the most hugely entertaining

825
00:37:03,639 --> 00:37:05,880
live shows I've ever seen. And that was still only

826
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,119
half the show because after that, after about a ten

827
00:37:08,119 --> 00:37:10,159
minute interval where they've had you know, oh, they also

828
00:37:10,159 --> 00:37:12,360
had you know, string quartets and other instruments going on

829
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,519
as well to kind of like bulk out the songs,

830
00:37:14,559 --> 00:37:17,599
They've added like extended bridges to songs where there's new

831
00:37:17,679 --> 00:37:21,159
lyrics and all that going on. So they really reworked

832
00:37:21,159 --> 00:37:23,360
the Black Parade. This is not just coming out and

833
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,800
again just doing the album to remind everyone it was.

834
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,599
It wasn't like the sound we did twenty years ago.

835
00:37:28,679 --> 00:37:31,639
Great it howmuted twenty years ago what was fucking amazing.

836
00:37:31,679 --> 00:37:33,360
But it was just such a great kind of way

837
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,159
to reclaim and kind of like reimagine it in a

838
00:37:36,159 --> 00:37:40,239
way that that feels exciting. So that finishes, they have

839
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,079
an into where they have like a lady playing like

840
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:44,039
a on the cello to sort of just fill the.

841
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 3: Time, and then they have the B stage in the

842
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:47,239
middle of the standing.

843
00:37:47,519 --> 00:37:50,559
Speaker 2: The band re emerged there and they rip into Honey

844
00:37:50,599 --> 00:37:52,360
This mirrors and big enough for the two of us,

845
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,199
and I was like, you fucking what just coming up

846
00:37:56,199 --> 00:37:57,239
with that stabbing riff?

847
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 3: Straight away?

848
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, okay, this is I'm glad I've

849
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,320
come tonight because they did that straight to thank you

850
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,960
for the Venom, And I was like, Michael mc romance,

851
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,840
are you just did you know I'm here? And are

852
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,199
you theming this second half of the set where you're

853
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:12,679
just doing stuff on the albums for me?

854
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 3: Because this is so sick.

855
00:38:14,599 --> 00:38:17,079
Speaker 2: You know, two of your hardest songs back to back

856
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:18,599
to kickstart this part of the set. And at this

857
00:38:18,679 --> 00:38:20,880
point you know they are in their normal clothes. They

858
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,039
are normal Michael mac Romance this way, jo still Joan,

859
00:38:24,159 --> 00:38:26,199
still frantic, wavy, and he has his little electronic box.

860
00:38:26,199 --> 00:38:30,239
It still just plays about with him between songs Cemetery Drive,

861
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,079
fucking Sick, Planetary Go, which is one of my favorite

862
00:38:33,079 --> 00:38:35,400
songs off of Danger Days. That was such a bop.

863
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,000
That was a great one live give Them Hell Kid,

864
00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:41,239
No No that base. I was like, if I was

865
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,440
down in the standing right now, I'd be kicking people.

866
00:38:43,519 --> 00:38:46,079
But again, I was just getting so many like songs

867
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:48,639
that were like my choice, and then out of nowhere

868
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,280
they fucking pull out and I didn't. Actually, I like,

869
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,719
maybe this is my casual sort Micha Romans thing that

870
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,199
they had this cover on one of their early demos

871
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,119
or early EPs, but covered Morrissey's Jack the Rip. I

872
00:38:59,159 --> 00:39:02,440
was like, that is such a point of Joe did say, like,

873
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,880
we haven't played this song since our very early days

874
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,239
because we only used to play because we didn't have

875
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,239
many songs of our own notes.

876
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 3: We needed a cover and I was like, yeah.

877
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,519
Speaker 2: Early Michael Macgrumm's covering Morrissey does make sense, and it

878
00:39:11,519 --> 00:39:15,119
would make sense they would go for a deeper Morrissey Paul,

879
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,920
but this was such an like crazy unexpectable and I

880
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,519
looked and like I said, I said, yeah, played for

881
00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:23,159
the first time since two thousand and three, for all

882
00:39:23,159 --> 00:39:23,800
you can say.

883
00:39:23,599 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 3: About coming out and doing the black firm and stage thing.

884
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: Mico was also in their second half set kind of going,

885
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:34,199
We're gonna just explore every.

886
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: Honey, this mirror is are big enough for the two

887
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,599
of us, first time performed since twenty ten, and like, Honey,

888
00:39:37,639 --> 00:39:38,920
this mirror is a big enough for the two of us.

889
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,480
Thank you for the venom and give him hell Kid?

890
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,760
I like that could be my three favorite MCR songs

891
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,239
and getting them all in a very short speriod of

892
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,559
time like that is another element of like you absolutely.

893
00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:53,639
Speaker 2: Get across the two sets between House of Wolves, give

894
00:39:53,679 --> 00:39:56,960
them hell Kid. Yeah, I was a drowning lessons away

895
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,159
from having a perfect micro Roman set. I Destroyer, which

896
00:40:00,159 --> 00:40:02,039
is my favorite fucking song off Danger Days. I fucking

897
00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:03,440
love that song and I'm glad that that's the one

898
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,000
that that does still get to pop up every now

899
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,719
and then because danger days. You know, we've discussed the

900
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,840
album at length. That song is such a cool different

901
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,480
cut for Michael Romance, and I'm glad that still gets

902
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,599
a thing. And then when you're dropping your closing run

903
00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:18,199
of I'm not Okay, Nna No in Helena, like that's

904
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,480
you know, that's your victory lap at that point of like,

905
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,000
these are are the big hitters, let's go. But yeah,

906
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,239
like see home, it's being bigger than a bank with

907
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:26,800
them and give them hell kid in this sort of

908
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,920
second half of the Cells, like you are dropping the

909
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,760
hard tunes for the Moshes Michael Wical Romance, Thank you.

910
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,159
It was a really great kind of like not just

911
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,719
like two great. And again at this point the set

912
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,199
no stage show. It is them on the B stage

913
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,159
in the middle of the crowd, with the crowd around them.

914
00:40:42,599 --> 00:40:44,199
But again this is just you know, a small white

915
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,719
This is not you know, the big circle. This is

916
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,239
a pretty small island where they're they're just kind of

917
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,320
on that and so this is this is them getting

918
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,159
to do that kind of intimate, get in with the

919
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:54,719
fans up close sort of thing. But it also not

920
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,320
totally mean that the band kind of unit is spread

921
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,719
Finn and you're losing that. It was a really great

922
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,519
difference between the biggest, grandest spectacle I've seen in a

923
00:41:05,519 --> 00:41:08,559
long while and then playing a stadium like it's a

924
00:41:08,599 --> 00:41:09,000
club like.

925
00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:12,599
Speaker 3: It was a really cool contrastween the two. Very my romance.

926
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 2: Helena to close out perfect, you know like what I

927
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,000
sing along it was.

928
00:41:17,199 --> 00:41:19,559
Speaker 3: It was really great. I'm excited see again on Saturday.

929
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,119
Speaker 2: I'm very excited to see what random shit they pull

930
00:41:22,119 --> 00:41:24,039
out in the in the B set on that night,

931
00:41:24,599 --> 00:41:26,360
I'm praying for Drowning Lessons.

932
00:41:26,519 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 3: Knowing my luck they will play drug.

933
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,079
Speaker 2: Lessons for the first time since what two thousand and

934
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:32,400
four and ever on the Friday when I'm not there,

935
00:41:32,519 --> 00:41:33,159
knowing my luck.

936
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,559
Speaker 1: But you can't say knowing my luck when you've just

937
00:41:35,559 --> 00:41:38,000
had these two shows plopped in your lap for precice.

938
00:41:38,159 --> 00:41:38,760
I know, I know.

939
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:44,519
Speaker 3: That, but yeah, two big rockersals. I am someone who

940
00:41:44,559 --> 00:41:47,639
will champion. Go to your local hardcore show, Go support

941
00:41:47,639 --> 00:41:49,559
you're seeing, Go to your tiny club shows.

942
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,559
Speaker 2: That's where you're going to see the future of live music.

943
00:41:51,559 --> 00:41:55,360
That is what's going to sustain live music. But sometimes

944
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,880
you have just got to go and see the biggest

945
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,599
rock and roll show you can see and have the

946
00:41:59,639 --> 00:42:01,000
best time. I'm at it, and I managed to get

947
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,679
that twice, so I'm kind of like having a good

948
00:42:03,679 --> 00:42:04,079
time with.

949
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:08,519
Speaker 1: This, Yeah, this whole black parade, you know, musical theater

950
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,440
reimagining version. It's the kind of thing that like, like,

951
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,039
you know, I've had conversations with people where they're like,

952
00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:16,400
I quite like some michemical romance, but I could never

953
00:42:16,559 --> 00:42:20,440
get fucking like the whole the the like raving your

954
00:42:20,679 --> 00:42:24,519
fucking ravenous frothing at the mouth, you know, obsession with

955
00:42:24,679 --> 00:42:27,719
all of the world building elements and the musical theater

956
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,760
and stuff kind of you know, I could never get

957
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,320
invested with that, and it turned me off and going

958
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:37,320
like full as you say, completely unsubtle camp high camp

959
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,360
musical theater version is almost like a type of MCR

960
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,920
show that would be most built to alienate people who

961
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,000
can't get on board with that. It's so fucking fucking naff.

962
00:42:48,159 --> 00:42:51,519
But in terms of returning to the album and as

963
00:42:51,519 --> 00:42:54,440
you say, not just like putting back on the old clothes,

964
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,679
but doing something with it, it does sound like, you know,

965
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,559
nostalgia done right, essentially with something extra to it, but

966
00:43:02,559 --> 00:43:05,400
nat Lich and Final Dose were good, so to fuck you.

967
00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:06,239
There's that.

968
00:43:06,679 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 3: But that's the shows we should we should be championing.

969
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,760
Go to those shows, or don't just go to your

970
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,320
big rock shows. But sometimes you've just got to go

971
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,239
to the big rock show.

972
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 1: YEP. So that is the big round up for this week,

973
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,920
and next week we're gonna be talking about bring Their

974
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:24,280
Rice in Nostalgia Show doing twenty years of Cat Your Blessings.

975
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,280
But there you go, a little bit of news this time.

976
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,360
It's been a fairly chill week on that front, unless

977
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,320
you are Damon Albarn Because on the beef watch front.

978
00:43:34,679 --> 00:43:38,559
Something that's fascinating about the music industry and particularly I

979
00:43:38,599 --> 00:43:40,840
guess some of the like the physical nature of live

980
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,880
shows and like literally putting people in the same you

981
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:48,440
know area, is you get crossovers of artists who you

982
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,920
would never imagine being like the come together with like

983
00:43:52,119 --> 00:43:54,760
because I you know, we're talking about Uncollassen and the

984
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,639
Dead Beats and Damon Albarn of you know, Gorillas and

985
00:43:58,679 --> 00:44:02,880
Blur fame and like obviously we all know Blur, we

986
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,320
you know, we all know Gorillas. You might have a

987
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,280
relationship with those bands I'm a big fan of Uncle

988
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,280
Ass and the Dead Beats. I can't imagine those two.

989
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,199
It's almost like those two live in different universes inside

990
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,599
my head, you know. So the idea of them congregating

991
00:44:16,639 --> 00:44:18,360
in the same field at different ends at the same

992
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,840
festival and having a war of words something that you like,

993
00:44:22,079 --> 00:44:24,199
could not have predicted, you know, wouldn't have pulled that

994
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,480
out of the hat at all. But that is in

995
00:44:26,519 --> 00:44:31,239
fact what happened when performing at russ Kilda Festival, which

996
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,800
is one of those festivals that famously has very eclectic,

997
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,159
strange like lineups of the biggest stars imaginable and then

998
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,760
pulling in some of the you know, weirder, grottier end

999
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,039
of what we do. Both Gorillas and Unclasses and The

1000
00:44:43,079 --> 00:44:47,280
Dead Beats were playing at the same time on different stages.

1001
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,239
Obviously Gorillas were doing the big one and Uncle Acid

1002
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:54,440
were doing one of the little ones. Suddenly Damon Albarn

1003
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,719
starts kicking off about apparently being able to hear music

1004
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,039
from this other stage and uh, Uncle Ass in the

1005
00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:06,079
Deadbeats statement is apology to everyone who came to Reskilda

1006
00:45:06,159 --> 00:45:07,920
Festival hoping to see us play a full set last

1007
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:12,119
night pop diva Damon Albarn of the novelty cartoon act Gorillas,

1008
00:45:12,519 --> 00:45:15,440
threw a hissy fit while we played, threatening to storm

1009
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,119
off stage, before finally getting our set shut down because

1010
00:45:18,119 --> 00:45:20,280
we were too loud. They were the only headliner of

1011
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,880
the whole weekend who couldn't cope with playing at the

1012
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,719
same time as our artists. Unfortunately, we only managed twenty

1013
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,559
five minutes of assaulting his precious ears from our stage

1014
00:45:27,559 --> 00:45:30,360
half a mile away before his goons came over and

1015
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,000
pulled the plug, despite us being below at the festival

1016
00:45:33,079 --> 00:45:35,440
dB limit and offering the turn down front of house

1017
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,519
to continue the show they wanted us off thanks to

1018
00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:40,400
Raskilda crew and stage manner who tried their best at intervene,

1019
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,800
but it was altoly out of our hands orders from above,

1020
00:45:43,559 --> 00:45:46,320
which good on Uncle Acid for just like not pulling

1021
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,840
the pudgy with the language. It's such a specific sardonic

1022
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:54,559
type tone that they assumed there. But Gorillas, I mean,

1023
00:45:54,599 --> 00:45:59,880
I uh, the first three Gorillas records I do have

1024
00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:03,000
relationship with, particularly Demon Days when that came out, was

1025
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,360
like a pretty big album for the underniab the classic

1026
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,280
album I would say in that again, the kind of

1027
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,719
alternative hip hop, whatever type of world. Uncle assen the

1028
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,280
Dead Beats as much as I let the Guerrilla's albums.

1029
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,840
They never wrote the riff to Poison Apple. They never

1030
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,440
wrote I'll cut you down. You know, there is different

1031
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,440
world going on here, Like I said, envisioning these two

1032
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,400
coming together, considering as they were saying, you know, it's

1033
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,719
not abnormal at all to have two different stages a

1034
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:33,000
different festival playing and even though a headliner is financially speaking,

1035
00:46:33,199 --> 00:46:35,559
they're bringing more people to the festival whatever they are.

1036
00:46:35,599 --> 00:46:37,880
In that sense, they're the digat raw, They're more important.

1037
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,440
I don't think there should be any sense of like

1038
00:46:40,519 --> 00:46:44,559
superiority between like a main stage headliner and then a

1039
00:46:44,679 --> 00:46:48,039
you know, smaller, more underground stage headliner. If that's what

1040
00:46:48,119 --> 00:46:50,880
unclassid we're doing. I don't think you really, as an

1041
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,360
artist playing on one stage, have the right to demand

1042
00:46:54,679 --> 00:46:57,960
that someone else, you know, playing in their assign sloped

1043
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,840
by the festival on the other fucking side of the site,

1044
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,880
you know, cut everything off for your benefit. This is

1045
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,400
absolute pop diva behavior, as they put it. But want

1046
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:10,639
a clash? What a meeting?

1047
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1048
00:47:11,559 --> 00:47:13,119
Speaker 2: So I like I saw this and I seemed like

1049
00:47:13,159 --> 00:47:15,360
the clip of like oh, and I think it's clearly

1050
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,400
like he's kind of growing about on stage and someone

1051
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,320
on his behalf was then gone over. Like from what

1052
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,079
it sounds like like his team are basically said to

1053
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,039
cut the ung class set because he's winging about being

1054
00:47:26,039 --> 00:47:27,599
able to hear them and apparently like fair, I've seen

1055
00:47:27,639 --> 00:47:30,320
people say like, yeah, you could hear the other stages,

1056
00:47:30,519 --> 00:47:32,320
like there was a weaving with the festival, but you know,

1057
00:47:33,079 --> 00:47:35,760
like that the festival should like better plants that the

1058
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,719
bands can't then, like you can't penalize another band for

1059
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,559
something that is not their fault if they're you know,

1060
00:47:40,639 --> 00:47:43,119
playing beneath the agreed limits of the festival.

1061
00:47:43,559 --> 00:47:45,119
Speaker 3: But it is just it's just very funny.

1062
00:47:45,119 --> 00:47:47,559
Speaker 2: I mean, like again, I I do quite like those

1063
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,320
earlier grill Grilla's record probably the best thing Damon all

1064
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,440
One's done. You know, I don't like Blur, as we

1065
00:47:52,519 --> 00:47:55,800
discovered in the ninety seven special, so I'm kind of

1066
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,559
very much on the you know what I'm on. I'm

1067
00:47:57,599 --> 00:47:59,599
on unclassic side on this one because I had to

1068
00:47:59,599 --> 00:48:04,199
listen to fucking Blur album, So fuck Damon albarn for

1069
00:48:04,199 --> 00:48:05,039
that one.

1070
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, unclassid drummer independently added cartoon band. Indeed, Damon Albarn

1071
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,400
and Gorillas are soft as baby shit fuck them.

1072
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 2: Which not missing, They're not mean. Some words they have

1073
00:48:19,519 --> 00:48:20,360
they have clearly taken.

1074
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: This is kind of like yeah, fuck you, Yeah, hopefully unclassid.

1075
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,039
I don't know. Get a couple more fans out of this,

1076
00:48:25,039 --> 00:48:27,400
who would go, oh, who's beefing with Damon Albarn over

1077
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,599
there and they discover this fucking sick band because one

1078
00:48:29,599 --> 00:48:31,840
of the great, yeah, brilliant, unbelievable story. There you go

1079
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:33,880
a little bit of new music. This is weird. A

1080
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,480
modo Math have released a single called Upath and it

1081
00:48:37,559 --> 00:48:40,719
is a Mono mass first ever acoustic single. I don't

1082
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,599
know if this is the lead single from an album

1083
00:48:42,599 --> 00:48:45,320
that's coming up. I would imagine they'll probably, you know,

1084
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,519
be a proper lead single for when an album comes out.

1085
00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:49,280
Whether this song appears on the album or not is

1086
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,480
another thing. But it's definitely a choice taking a mono

1087
00:48:52,519 --> 00:48:55,800
ma mouth acoustic in a weird way because obviously their

1088
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:57,880
music is so melodics despite how heavy it is, and

1089
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,440
it has that root in you know, like Viking era,

1090
00:49:01,559 --> 00:49:03,920
you know, medievalism and stuff like that. I could sort

1091
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,239
of see it happening, but it is still, as they say,

1092
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,280
a choice, particularly when you have Johann still you know,

1093
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,199
he's not quite death growling for most of it, but

1094
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,480
he is still very much sticking to the gruff, hamming

1095
00:49:15,519 --> 00:49:19,119
it up Viking. I am carrying my steel you know

1096
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,440
type type, you know, a character that he plays with

1097
00:49:22,519 --> 00:49:25,199
a Monomth. I think he probably like, you know, he's

1098
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,440
he's a vocalist who has you know, decades in the game.

1099
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,159
He probably has a really good control of, you know,

1100
00:49:30,599 --> 00:49:32,760
his voice, and I probably imagine that he could, you know,

1101
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,519
if he was just to sing a regular folk song,

1102
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,719
you know, he would probably carry that very well. But

1103
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,639
he ins said he's chosen to very much stay in

1104
00:49:39,679 --> 00:49:41,639
the Monomath character for it.

1105
00:49:42,639 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 2: Obviously, I did sessue a man to listen to this

1106
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,320
because it's very hot today and I saw a mono

1107
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:47,559
Marth really's acoustic sing.

1108
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,679
Speaker 3: When I was like, not today, I can't. I can't

1109
00:49:49,679 --> 00:49:52,079
bring myself to like today.

1110
00:49:52,199 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 1: Sorry, it's a cookie monster campfire song.

1111
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 3: It's just what's gone on.

1112
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, for people who have a

1113
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:04,039
lot kind of checked out over Monermath entire thing, those

1114
00:50:04,079 --> 00:50:08,079
people would probably find the song unbearably cringe. There you

1115
00:50:08,119 --> 00:50:10,719
have it. Then we also have on the new music

1116
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,000
front a new album announcement from Devil Master, which is

1117
00:50:14,119 --> 00:50:16,199
right on que in my mind because I was just thinking,

1118
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:17,679
like a week ago, it's been a while since the

1119
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,239
last Devil Master arab when they're gonna do one. It's

1120
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,280
been four years since the last one, and they're kind of,

1121
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:22,960
you know, a punky band. You might expect to work

1122
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,800
a little bit faster than that. But I said, right

1123
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,480
with you in my mind. They have anounced Their album

1124
00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:31,320
is called Bloody Dreams. It's out September the fourth via

1125
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:36,000
Relapse Records. Got to kill our fucking album cover, because

1126
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,320
if Devil Master have nothing else, they will have really

1127
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,719
fucking rad as shit aesthetic choices and you'll want to

1128
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:47,119
buy their stuff on every format, every item of merch whatever.

1129
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,800
And there's a song with a full on eighties horror

1130
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,719
VHS star music video as well, very much fit in

1131
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:57,480
the bill, called You Worms vein Delusions, which is a great,

1132
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,800
great title, and I wouldn't say that are any surprises

1133
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,880
really from the song itself, Like it's not even one

1134
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,000
of their slightly more left field songs. That they can

1135
00:51:05,079 --> 00:51:09,199
do within their albums. It is a straightforward, fast, punky,

1136
00:51:09,519 --> 00:51:11,760
slightly crusty, you know, with that crazy gata too. And

1137
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:15,559
they have a yeah, fucking careening, out of control devil

1138
00:51:15,559 --> 00:51:17,559
Master song. But as I said, after four years without that,

1139
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:18,239
fine by me.

1140
00:51:18,639 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got that kind of slightly psychedelic touch that

1141
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,440
I think they can bring in, which I think is

1142
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,639
a fun element to add. But I hope I was like, yep,

1143
00:51:26,039 --> 00:51:29,639
Devil Master doing that kind of punky, weird black melting

1144
00:51:29,679 --> 00:51:32,159
that I really got into on the last album. I

1145
00:51:32,199 --> 00:51:34,599
will take another album with that, and if the leading

1146
00:51:34,599 --> 00:51:35,880
will go by, I think this is like the opening

1147
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,639
track on the album. It's a good kind of like vibe.

1148
00:51:39,519 --> 00:51:41,519
I'm ready for more Devil Master.

1149
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,159
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what does intrigue me about this? And

1150
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,400
I did, like to extent that I did a genuine

1151
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,159
double take because I thought I must have read it wrong.

1152
00:51:48,519 --> 00:51:51,960
According to everyone I'm seeing here, it has six tracks

1153
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,280
this album, and like I said, Devil Master are a

1154
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,239
pretty like fast in and out punk band. There are

1155
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,559
other albums they are, you know, at least sort of

1156
00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:03,559
ten track affairs, if not a few more. When you

1157
00:52:03,639 --> 00:52:05,880
throw in some of the spooky interludes and stuff like that.

1158
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,159
They tend to have so six songs on an album,

1159
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,440
and one of them sex with Suckubus. That is a

1160
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,719
title of a song from their like Demo era. It's

1161
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,800
on their demo compilation from before their first album. So

1162
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,159
maybe that's again the same you know, demo era song

1163
00:52:19,199 --> 00:52:22,079
they've decided to actually years later, like nearly a decade

1164
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,639
re record and put on the album proper. But I

1165
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,480
know that that is like a fast, punky, devil Master

1166
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,800
type song and the way they are but six songs

1167
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,440
to get it to full length when you are playing

1168
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,000
del Master songs, I am predicting at least one of

1169
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,519
these is going out there like I could.

1170
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm expecting five songs of punky, fast devil Master

1171
00:52:40,599 --> 00:52:43,199
and then a twenty minute song or something like that. Yeah,

1172
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:46,800
that is like them throwing every idea they've ever had

1173
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,280
and just kind of going we are, We're running with it,

1174
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:50,960
and I'm curious.

1175
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:52,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm just gonna pull out. For example,

1176
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,639
the final track on it, the sixth song, is called

1177
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,159
Farewell Waltz to Unfortunate's Palace, and I could imagine that

1178
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,519
being a full on ten minute plus trippy Yeah, or

1179
00:53:02,519 --> 00:53:04,719
maybe the title track Bloody Dreams, which comes before that.

1180
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,280
But considering this song is very straightforward Devilmaster. Just the

1181
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,360
fact that there are six songs on what Is you

1182
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,159
Know being market as a full length does suggest to

1183
00:53:13,199 --> 00:53:17,360
me that there are more psychedelic, expansive passages to be

1184
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,760
discovered awaiting in this It also has a couple of

1185
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,880
guests on it. One of them is Chris aulsh from

1186
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,000
Power Trip, who was their drummer on the previous album,

1187
00:53:25,039 --> 00:53:27,800
but he's you know, appearing in a part time capacity

1188
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,000
on it, but also Mirai from Sai, the Japanese black

1189
00:53:31,039 --> 00:53:35,719
metal band, and also another Japanese black metal musician from

1190
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,159
a band called Arkaspar. You know, Devil Master I have

1191
00:53:38,159 --> 00:53:40,440
always taken some influence from that kind of again psychedelic,

1192
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,719
weirdo Japanese heavy music scene, so it doesn't surprise me.

1193
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,679
But Mirai from CSI being involved with with Devvar's record

1194
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,079
is fucking cool. That record is coming to September the fourth,

1195
00:53:49,079 --> 00:53:51,360
And while we are speaking about say, they have also

1196
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,400
announced an album to be released the same day, September

1197
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,639
the fourth. It's called Goka. It is the follow up

1198
00:53:57,639 --> 00:54:00,000
to the twenty twenty two album Shiki, which was very

1199
00:54:00,079 --> 00:54:03,679
I liked around these parts. And this also has a

1200
00:54:03,679 --> 00:54:07,000
few guests listed on it, one of them including Michael

1201
00:54:07,039 --> 00:54:10,800
Lakafelt from Opeth appearing. I hope that's a growl. I mean,

1202
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:12,559
if he comes to us some singing or something, or

1203
00:54:12,559 --> 00:54:14,320
even a guest earlo, that would be cool. But I

1204
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,159
hope we get full on beast Mo Demon Michaelacafelt a

1205
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:19,599
PEII on a SI record, But just that as a

1206
00:54:19,599 --> 00:54:23,559
pairing at all. Oh no, sorry, I'm reading here. Apparently

1207
00:54:23,599 --> 00:54:26,039
he adds a guest guitar solo. Well there's that dream

1208
00:54:26,119 --> 00:54:29,559
dashed but still cool. Cool Michaelacafel a Pei on a

1209
00:54:29,559 --> 00:54:33,119
SI record. Very nice. Yeah, love site. They're beginning really

1210
00:54:33,119 --> 00:54:35,199
fucking killer album cover as well as they always expect

1211
00:54:35,199 --> 00:54:37,159
them to have. September the fourth.

1212
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 2: Good day for black metal. About black male albums, I'll

1213
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:40,280
probably really like.

1214
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, September the fourth is looking freaky. A few first

1215
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,360
of all announcements over in the US, and I guess

1216
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,360
it's of curiosity to us Maryland Deafest. I've added a

1217
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:54,920
few more artists of Note Autopsy are right up there

1218
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:58,360
doing a fortieth anniversary general celebration, which I imagine will

1219
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,239
be you know, pulling out all sorts of historic cuts

1220
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,559
and stuff like that. But two names in particular jump

1221
00:55:04,559 --> 00:55:07,559
out of this current MDF poster. One of them is

1222
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,639
Black Breath, who did perform that set at the what

1223
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,920
was it like Pacific Northwest Terrorfest or whatever it was

1224
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,760
that they randomly got added to and we were like, well,

1225
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,360
the fuck Black Breath are back. And they did play

1226
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:18,840
that show, and I've seen a couple clips of it,

1227
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,239
but not as much sort of coverage of it as

1228
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,559
you might expect, and I was like, will they do more?

1229
00:55:23,559 --> 00:55:25,800
Will they appear? We now have in twenty twenty seven

1230
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,280
at least one more Black Breath show happening, so the

1231
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,519
dreamer is alive. Basically I'm saying Damnation or someone you know,

1232
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,639
get on it. But Black Breath are playing at least

1233
00:55:34,639 --> 00:55:36,079
one show in twenty twenty seven, so it wasn't a

1234
00:55:36,079 --> 00:55:40,119
completely one time thing. And the other return is Insect Warfare,

1235
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:45,320
who are playing a twenty anniversary set of their grindcore classic,

1236
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,639
one of the most seminal grind records of the twenty

1237
00:55:47,639 --> 00:55:50,760
first century World extermination and the last time that Insect

1238
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,920
Warfare played a show was in fact Maryland Deadfest ten

1239
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,719
years before this for the tenth Anniverse three album. So

1240
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,760
whether they do more than that, I don't know. But

1241
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,199
for the grindheads, Insect Warfare coming out of their you

1242
00:56:02,199 --> 00:56:06,280
know that's big. Yeah, every decade fucking hiatus and appearing

1243
00:56:06,599 --> 00:56:09,719
is big news. So two shows added on to Maryland

1244
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,760
Deafes say that we overhere are looking at with with

1245
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:16,400
keen interest, wondering if it might possibly go anywhere else. Meanwhile,

1246
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:20,519
Fortress Festival have added a their first wave of bands.

1247
00:56:20,559 --> 00:56:22,800
This is the black metal festival in Scarborough I've been

1248
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,519
going through for the last few years. They had already

1249
00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:27,320
announced Emperor as one of their headliners for next year,

1250
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,639
but this is the first proper wave of other artists.

1251
00:56:29,679 --> 00:56:31,400
And when they announced Emperor, it was a you know,

1252
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,280
it's a larger than average band. It's one of the real,

1253
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:38,400
like big name big gets for Fortress. But Fortress is

1254
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,719
a festival that has kind of built its name on cult,

1255
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,679
underground exclusives and stuff that you wouldn't imagine ever seeing

1256
00:56:44,679 --> 00:56:46,280
anywhere else, and when Emperor was added, people like, oh,

1257
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,280
I hope we still have some of that that other stuff.

1258
00:56:48,599 --> 00:56:51,000
This first wave I think very much, answers that, yes,

1259
00:56:51,199 --> 00:56:53,480
that is still what the Viber Fortress is because what

1260
00:56:53,519 --> 00:56:56,800
they have added twelve fans. First one that they put

1261
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,760
out there was Grub, whose album Cremas we spoke about

1262
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,119
a lot last year. Yeah, and this is mad because

1263
00:57:04,199 --> 00:57:06,760
after group out of that album, the main guy was like,

1264
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,639
I am retiring from music. He said that he had,

1265
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,280
like you know, he had like health issues that meant

1266
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,639
that he didn't feel comfortable performing or anything, and he

1267
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:17,000
was like, I'm putting out his album and then I'm

1268
00:57:17,039 --> 00:57:18,880
retiring from music. And then less than a year later

1269
00:57:19,159 --> 00:57:21,840
he's come back saying like I'm better now, I'm gonna

1270
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:26,480
play shows, Like yeah, okay, great, and if it's health.

1271
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 3: Reasons, you're gonna go back on, I mean, that's totally

1272
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,840
cor yeah.

1273
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:31,239
Speaker 1: But I like, you know, I didn't imagine the thought

1274
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,280
that was like basically my favorite black metal record of

1275
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,159
last year, and I didn't imagine I was gonna see it.

1276
00:57:35,559 --> 00:57:37,599
And then suddenly he's like, yeah, I'm gonna play a

1277
00:57:37,639 --> 00:57:40,519
show and it's a worldwide exclusive for twenty's even as well,

1278
00:57:40,519 --> 00:57:41,639
So there you go. If you want to see that

1279
00:57:41,639 --> 00:57:45,280
grab record being performed, then that is happening at Fortress.

1280
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:49,360
Then they added the Quebec band miser Rare Luminis, who

1281
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:50,800
put out an album that I've seen, you know, quite

1282
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,239
well reviewed in some areas this year. They also then

1283
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,719
added this is probably the maddest one of the bunch,

1284
00:57:56,199 --> 00:58:00,119
another Quebec band, Gre spelled g r i S, who

1285
00:58:00,159 --> 00:58:06,400
are performing their worldwide live debut at Fortress. And this

1286
00:58:06,559 --> 00:58:08,000
is like, you know, when we were talking about gallow

1287
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,000
Bray last year, this is that because Greed are again

1288
00:58:11,159 --> 00:58:15,360
really in underground, but like a really well beloved, kind

1289
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,679
of depressive black metal band, and they're like their sort

1290
00:58:18,679 --> 00:58:20,559
of key record that this is a record that, like,

1291
00:58:20,599 --> 00:58:22,039
you will have people out there who would say it's

1292
00:58:22,079 --> 00:58:24,639
out their favorite black metal album album ever. Right came

1293
00:58:24,639 --> 00:58:27,239
out in I think about two thousand and seven, and

1294
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,239
they're just twenty years afterwards being like, we're going to

1295
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,400
play it, or at least, you know, play the first

1296
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,199
ever live show. Yeah, And so that's a you know,

1297
00:58:35,239 --> 00:58:36,760
a bout that people have loved for years and years

1298
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:38,920
and years, never ever imagined it'd be performed live, and

1299
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,440
then suddenly, for the first time ever, there it is

1300
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,840
at Fortress once again pulling out something mental like that.

1301
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,599
That's probably the most bizarrero thing on this announcement. There's

1302
00:58:46,639 --> 00:58:50,639
also the Swiss band tady Garda Yellow Eyes, the kind

1303
00:58:50,679 --> 00:58:52,639
of us experiment of black metal band. They are coming

1304
00:58:52,679 --> 00:58:55,000
over for the first time in eight years to the

1305
00:58:55,079 --> 00:58:58,639
UK performing their most recent album, Confusion Gate in full.

1306
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,519
There is the band More appearing at Fortress tra which

1307
00:59:02,559 --> 00:59:04,920
is another fucking crazy pole, Like that's one of those

1308
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,079
band camp guys who's put out like a hundred albums,

1309
00:59:07,239 --> 00:59:10,679
but like really mad stuff. It's like really freaky created

1310
00:59:10,679 --> 00:59:14,480
stuff going on in his records. Slagmar, which, aside from

1311
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,239
sound like a terrible insult to to someone's mother, this

1312
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,199
is the band where I was like, I recognize that name?

1313
00:59:19,199 --> 00:59:20,920
Why do I recognize that name somewhere? And then I

1314
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,000
realized that they were involved in a scandal earlier this

1315
00:59:23,079 --> 00:59:25,920
year where they faked them all disappearing in the woods

1316
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:29,960
and I was like, Oh, it's the it's the pr

1317
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,400
stun't disappearing in the woods band. But they're playing.

1318
00:59:34,079 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 3: Was upon a burning body exactly that have a.

1319
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: Cruno are playing. Finnish band very good Sinemara, one of

1320
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,800
the great Icelandic bands of that kind of period of

1321
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,159
the sort of lar ten years or so. They're on

1322
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,800
it for Arrests, the Quebec band who they played a

1323
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:51,079
couple of years ago. They're coming back from somewhere. Yeah,

1324
00:59:51,119 --> 00:59:55,880
I've seen. And then finally a Dungeon Synth announcement for

1325
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,119
Fortress Fortress Fest. An artist going by the name Dungeon

1326
00:59:59,199 --> 01:00:02,440
Troll is going to be appearing what else, and he

1327
01:00:02,559 --> 01:00:07,000
says that he's going to be performing original unheard music

1328
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,519
at Fortress Festival that he has no plans to actually

1329
01:00:09,519 --> 01:00:13,480
record or release, so it's just to turn up and

1330
01:00:13,559 --> 01:00:17,519
hear the world exclusive of Dungeon Troll music that isn't

1331
01:00:17,559 --> 01:00:20,719
going anywhere else. But that is the round of names

1332
01:00:20,719 --> 01:00:24,079
that they have added after Emperor Onto for festival, which

1333
01:00:24,199 --> 01:00:28,519
fucking hats off to him. Madge it to the end

1334
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,079
in terms of bands are like I'm a really big

1335
01:00:31,119 --> 01:00:32,760
fan of I want to say there's quite as many

1336
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,039
in there as like, say, you know, the first wave

1337
01:00:35,079 --> 01:00:38,280
of last year's announcement. But obviously, like I said, grab

1338
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,159
didn't I love that record last year? I didn't imagine

1339
01:00:41,199 --> 01:00:43,559
see it live. I'd be excited to see Sinemara. I'm

1340
01:00:43,559 --> 01:00:45,559
bit excited to see have a crew new I would

1341
01:00:45,599 --> 01:00:49,119
be here. It's about what the fuck Dungeon Troll is doing.

1342
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,480
That has all been added to next year's Fortress Festival,

1343
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,079
and then finally a couple of live announcements that I

1344
01:00:55,159 --> 01:00:59,400
maybe have more of interest to you, Sam Converge, after

1345
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:03,360
appearing Breakfast year, they have added a UK and European

1346
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,199
tour where in the UK they're going to be playing

1347
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:10,320
leads Bristol, Glasgow, Nottingham and London. And the Converged Tour,

1348
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,239
which is obviously in support of their two albums that

1349
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,880
came out this year, is bringing along a package of

1350
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:18,400
Sanguy Suger, Bog Black Braid and Pupil Slicer. I love

1351
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:22,960
how Converge are so a so respected themselves, but also

1352
01:01:23,159 --> 01:01:25,639
be we know the members of that band have such

1353
01:01:25,639 --> 01:01:29,039
a clectic, wide reaching tastes that they can put together.

1354
01:01:29,039 --> 01:01:32,039
I'm like, I remember, for example, you know sometime in

1355
01:01:32,079 --> 01:01:34,559
the late twenty tens they did that bill that was

1356
01:01:34,599 --> 01:01:37,239
like Converge crowbar thou Grave Place.

1357
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 3: That's when I went to and like.

1358
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,599
Speaker 1: And it's like nothing really unites those other than Converge

1359
01:01:44,639 --> 01:01:48,159
are able to bring them all along. And this considering

1360
01:01:48,199 --> 01:01:50,880
we have a really fucking like horrible Brittle Death. Got

1361
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,400
a band in Sanguy Suger Bog, you know native American

1362
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,159
black metal in Black Braid, and then you know UK

1363
01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:00,239
like math core in Pupil Slicer. Once again, nothing really

1364
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,719
unites those other than converge can ask them to come

1365
01:02:02,719 --> 01:02:03,199
out on tour.

1366
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it just s captures these like what Conversion,

1367
01:02:07,159 --> 01:02:09,280
They're going to bring an extreme kind of support bill,

1368
01:02:10,079 --> 01:02:13,039
but it's gonna be you know, different lanes of that,

1369
01:02:13,159 --> 01:02:14,719
but it's all going to kind of have I guess,

1370
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,559
a unifying vibe of just like, yeah, all of these

1371
01:02:17,599 --> 01:02:20,440
bands probably have as some oh something to converge in

1372
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,840
some way, so it makes sense we're gonna go.

1373
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:24,599
Speaker 3: I think I think it's a really cool.

1374
01:02:24,519 --> 01:02:27,079
Speaker 2: Interesting just kind of like it's somes of what I

1375
01:02:27,079 --> 01:02:28,800
love ourt converged tours when they come about where they

1376
01:02:29,159 --> 01:02:31,039
say you're gonna get some of that is going to

1377
01:02:31,679 --> 01:02:35,039
be heaviest shit, but interesting and care and different each band.

1378
01:02:35,079 --> 01:02:38,360
Easy sport bands really different vibe, really different approach to

1379
01:02:38,639 --> 01:02:40,960
vocals and like and their own take on heaviness. I

1380
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,360
think I think it's great and I think we've converged,

1381
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:44,440
you know, kind of leading thing.

1382
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 3: It's undeniably gonna be a great night. Yes.

1383
01:02:47,519 --> 01:02:47,599
Speaker 2: Uh.

1384
01:02:47,639 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: And then finally one again, very much to give interest

1385
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,320
to you, sam Is, I promise the world, who just

1386
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,199
played their UK debut at Outbreak Festival a couple weeks ago,

1387
01:02:55,599 --> 01:02:58,679
they are coming back through sort of you know, Western

1388
01:02:58,719 --> 01:03:01,000
Europe and playing quite a lot of show in the UK.

1389
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:02,960
I promise the world coming about you're probably gonna hit

1390
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:04,320
one of those that I'm at.

1391
01:03:04,239 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 3: The New Classing show in London. Yeah, I saw that.

1392
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:07,719
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I want to, I want to,

1393
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:10,920
you know show. They've got a band Rosa Sharon support

1394
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:12,639
in which I think for like a new metal coal band.

1395
01:03:12,639 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 3: That's a very good name, Rose Sharon.

1396
01:03:15,719 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 2: They're pretty cool, like I think they played like hellfare

1397
01:03:18,039 --> 01:03:20,119
so I'm like, nice package of that kind of like

1398
01:03:20,519 --> 01:03:22,480
metal course scene revival stuff that I'm into.

1399
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,679
Speaker 3: I grabbed my ticket for this already because I want

1400
01:03:24,679 --> 01:03:26,119
to go and have a good night with that.

1401
01:03:26,679 --> 01:03:30,719
Speaker 1: Yes. So that is the roundup of the news this

ten years we're doing this podcast right, and Corn was

1409

1421
01:04:19,039 --> 01:04:23,159
Let's finally end this with some releases for July the tenth,

1422
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,559
twenty twenty six. First up, bringing the Horizon, speaking of

1423
01:04:26,559 --> 01:04:30,000
twentieth diversaries and all this jazz. Count Your Blessings repented

1424
01:04:30,199 --> 01:04:32,719
the re recorded version with I Guess That one original

1425
01:04:32,719 --> 01:04:36,559
song out as well of their debut album Count Your

1426
01:04:36,599 --> 01:04:39,960
Blessings out in the world. We are going to be

1427
01:04:40,039 --> 01:04:44,079
talking about the Count Your Blessings, you know, showcase at Outbreak,

1428
01:04:44,119 --> 01:04:47,559
the big twenty third three show on this show next week,

1429
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,119
and I guess as the album is out, we'll probably

1430
01:04:50,199 --> 01:04:52,360
just chat a little bit about the you know, the

1431
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,519
rerecorded product a little bit as well, so we'll get

1432
01:04:55,519 --> 01:04:57,119
some thoughts out on that. But that is out in

1433
01:04:57,159 --> 01:04:59,880
the world today. Then we also have in the metal

1434
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,440
areo type lanes, you know, glossy radio metal core, the

1435
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,159
plot in you have got a self titled album. Then

1436
01:05:07,519 --> 01:05:10,760
pivoting over to brit rock, we have the excerpts have

1437
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,840
got their new album called I Think I Want to

1438
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:17,960
Go Home Now experimental, weird hardcore, I guess is how

1439
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:19,800
you would always describe this band, show me the Body

1440
01:05:20,519 --> 01:05:23,960
alone together. Their album is out devil Driver one of

1441
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,480
those names still kicking around, Devil Driver. They have got

1442
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,360
god knows how many albums they have now, but the

1443
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,880
newest one which has a very funny cover of like

1444
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,239
a hyena wearing a battle jacket. It's very daft looking.

1445
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,119
But the album is called Strike and Kill. That is

1446
01:05:37,199 --> 01:05:41,400
out in sort of very rowdy, heavy metallic hardcore. There

1447
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,800
is no cure with a record called It is Going

1448
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:48,039
to Get Dark. There is day Dream Plus out on.

1449
01:05:48,079 --> 01:05:49,440
I think this was run for cover, wasn't it. This

1450
01:05:49,519 --> 01:05:52,159
was the band that was members of two Mold doing

1451
01:05:52,199 --> 01:05:57,599
like really snappy summary, like instrumental city pop. Yeah, that

1452
01:05:57,639 --> 01:06:00,760
record is out that second last day of summer in

1453
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,719
a kind of instrumental post rock post metal. There is

1454
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:07,480
if these Trees could talk with the Hidden Hand, weird

1455
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:12,639
out there progue tech death metal arise from Worms featuring

1456
01:06:12,679 --> 01:06:15,880
members of Morbid Angel and Kryptopsy in various such such

1457
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,880
legends a bleeding Tree hanging self destruction and then in

1458
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:21,960
black metal more Rear, who was one of those bands

1459
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,039
I just listed being on that latest Fortress announcement. They

1460
01:06:25,039 --> 01:06:27,519
have got an album called New levin In. That is

1461
01:06:27,679 --> 01:06:31,800
it for us. Hope everybody who went to Metallica or

1462
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,039
My Chemical Romance enjoyed it just as much as Sam did.

1463
01:06:35,119 --> 01:06:37,480
I hope that everybody who's at two thousand Trees this weekend,

1464
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,360
we are not a trees this weekend, but I know

1465
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,000
that that is going on. I hope everybody over there

1466
01:06:41,079 --> 01:06:44,599
is a having a good time and b staying cool,

1467
01:06:44,679 --> 01:06:46,559
because holy shit, we looks like we're in another one

1468
01:06:46,559 --> 01:06:47,400
of those weekends.

1469
01:06:47,559 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 3: Like I said, I was like, it was bad enough

1470
01:06:49,519 --> 01:06:50,000
last year.

1471
01:06:50,039 --> 01:06:53,119
Speaker 1: I was goddamn yeah, but you know, solidarity to everyone's there.

1472
01:06:53,119 --> 01:06:56,840
I hope it's sick. As said, next week we are

1473
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,639
going to be packed talking about the Bringing the Horizon

1474
01:07:00,039 --> 01:07:02,760
Out Your Blessings event, and then you know, we'll be

1475
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,000
around after that. As I said, with more corn special

1476
01:07:05,039 --> 01:07:07,800
goods on the Patreon July's reviews at some point after

1477
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,760
