Soul album is out this week and it is called
From Here to Eternity. It is a double album which
is gate fold whole nine yards, and we were joking
about it's so funny. We were joking during the interview
about eight tracks and I didn't even realize they put
out eight tracks for their last album and you can
still order them. And they are starting a tour at
the end of the month in Dallas on May thirtieth,
going out with Hoodie and the Blowfish and Edwin McCain
and special guests Bernick Lady's on a few shows. They're
doing some headlining shows. They are out from May thirtieth
until September twenty eighth, And of course I realized during
the interview that I had just missed them in Vegas.
I didn't even realize they're in Vegas because there's so
much shit going on in Vegas. Sometimes you don't even
know a big show is happening like that. But I
do know a show that's happening. I know a couple
of shows that are happening this Thursday. If you were
in Las Vegas this Thursday, the seventeenth is at sixteenth
or the seventeenth, so today's thirteenth, Tuesday's the fourteenth Wednesday.
They are the sixteenth at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club. Adam

for Rockey. Yeah, he was here for Chris Hockey. She
was here for Chris Hockey. But anyways, ladies and gentlemen,
without further ado, please welcome, please enjoy, I should say,
because this isn't live, and it's it's so weird not
doing it live. But whatever, we're doing it Roland. The
interview was done at the beginning of April, and but
it's done. It's ready for you, It's ready to go.
Please Welcome to another podcast from Collective Soul. The bass
player and a background vocalist, mister Will All right, are
you a Kiss fan at all?
Speaker 1: I am. I'm a I'm a fan of just their
whole thing, and I like, I like a few of
the songs I was. I was into like more artsy
stuff when I was younger. I was into beatles and stuff.
You know. It's like to me, I was like, I
learned my first guitar chords and I felt like after
after that, I kind of knew every Kiss song and
I was like, well.
Speaker 2: It's funny because I mean Kiss, and I'm just gonna
start it right there. Why not? Kiss is like that
they wanted to be heavy metal beatles. That's even though
the heavy metal wasn't a term at that at that time,
but that's how Gene always described it. And you can
hear it a lot in their first three records, you know.
Speaker 1: And uh man, there's a couple of songs I think
are really good. But yeah, I wasn't a huge fan.
A couple of my friends were fans, so I got
to see a lot of the stuff that was going on.
But that was in the eighties. It was what was
what was considered alternative right in excess you to r
E M all those bands.
Speaker 2: Well that Arim makes sense being you're a Georgia guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were. You know. Rim was a big deal
to any of the Georgia musicians because they they had
they had a worldwide like modern sound. And as much
as I appreciate the southern rock sound it was it
was really refreshing to have the Athens, Georgia scene and
have this whole movement come out of Athens, Georgia that
wasn't Southern.
Speaker 2: Rock, you know, mm hmm. And if you are wondering,
I have Will Turpin from from Collective Soul here right now.
We started early. Why not fuck it you start talking
about kiss, It's just it just goes. The brand new
record comes out this Friday. It is called Here to Eternity.
It is a double record. Uh you guys, double record
in this day and age. It's a little odd because
it's well you think about it, I mean because right
now it's all single single, single single. Maybe we'll put
out an album see what happens. What was the thinking
behind the double record?
Speaker 1: Honestly, we just always wanted to do a double record,
you know, we some of our heroes all did double records.
You know. Goodbye Yellow Brick Rhad is the one that
certainly comes to mind, but all things must pass. The
wide album. What was the LEDs up in physical graffiti?
You know, we we we just thought it was always
really cool to be able to have a double album.
And man, eds writing as prolific as always, and we
still enjoy create eating music. So we had no no
shortage of songs and no shortage of creative juices. Man,
we we were just going at it. And yeah, no
matter what everybody tells us about what's smart or not smart,
we still do we want to do.
Speaker 2: You know, well, and I tell you what, And you know,
I'm not gonna sit here a lion say. I'm a
huge collective soul guy, right, I know everything. I mean,
I was like everybody in nineteen ninety five. We played
Shine you know, in my in my cover band. You know,
but listening to the record, it sounds like collective soul,
you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, uh yeah, there's you know, there's there's you
know we and we don't ever sound like anybody else.
I think that's one of our strengths. But we just
create from from feel and uh, you know, if it
feels good to us and we get those moments where
it you know, you know since since chills up your spot,
then we know that we're doing something right. We just
we just have a little we have a thing. Man
Ed's vocal stands out. Yeah, and yeah, like I said, Man,
thirty years later, we're still enjoying creating, we're still enjoying
playing live.
Speaker 2: Well. And when you guys started, it was what ninety
two when you joined the band? Correct, Yeah, when started.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably would have been ninety three when I committed
fully and told them I would be I would play bass.
You know, my friends were, uh, all those guys were
one hundred percent committed to the rock and roll thing,
and I was, I was a music major in college,
and I was like, yeah, you know, I might have
a recital, so I can't commit one hundred percent. But
at some point I was like, man, if I played
bass well, chemistry wise, will be the strongest we could be.
And uh, and then I committed one hundred percent and
it turned out to be a good move for me
because me, me, Ed and Dean still uh live on
a bus together and still create music together.
Speaker 2: So well. In the ninety three that was still a
weird time in rock and roll because it was host
the Great Wall in Nirvana, so you it was like
it was the grunge thing, but it was just kind
of wide open. You didn't know what was gonna stick
and what was going to hit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean again, man, we just it just happened
for us, and we created, you know, that first record.
Half of it was intended just to be a songwriter
demo that Ed was doing, so uh. It was a
collection of songs written by Ed, and we thought, you know,
we kind of thought that the rock song off off
that record would be the one that we would push
as the as the single song called good Night and
good Guy. But fate, fate had other ideas, and Steve
Robertson album eighty eight was the first college station to
play Shine and uh requests going off the you know,
phone phone ringing off the hook and and requests happening
left and right. And then Steve Robertson at w j
r R in Orlando was the first one to put
us on a kind of you know, a shootout type
show Sunday nights where he could go off script, off
of the corporate playlist and he could play whatever he wanted.
Uh And sure enough, man, he put us on that
Sunday night show with Sean and Uh, we were we were,
we were winning battles against the Pearl Jams and the
and the other ones. And so that was really the
spark that that commercial station was really the spark that started,
uh started that move movement there.
Speaker 2: Well. And the thing that I that I kind of
dig about your sound is that it didn't sound like
that the Great Wall of Nirvana and and all that
other the other quote unquote grunched off. It's still it was.
I mean, it was all rock, but it still had
a different vibe to it.
Speaker 1: You know, we never we've never we've never went in
there into the in the creation process and said let's
let's follow this or let's try to be like this.
And even if we even if we did, I think
we would still just revert to whatever feels natural to
us and whatever, you know, whatever we feel comfortable with.
Speaker 2: I love the fact that you said you're still on
the bus. A lot of people aren't doing that anymore.
You know a lot you know, a lot of the
bands that know the quote, un the legacy bands, you know,
they're just doing fly dates and you know, just doing weekends.
You guys are out there and you leave on the thirtieth.
You go out with Hoody and Uh and Edwin McCain
and it's a big stack tour for the summer.
Speaker 1: It is kind of like, I mean, wow, I mean,
let's think about this pody collective, Soul, Edwin McCain, all
three groups from the South, all three signed to Atlantic
Records in Manhattan, and all three first released our first
record in nineteen ninety four. It's it's a little bit
of a and we've known each other now, we've all
known each other and we're all good friends for thirty years.
So it's a it's gonna be a great tour. It's
going to be a nice little trip around the around
the state. One more time with our friends. Man, we're
looking forward to.
Speaker 2: And Uh, I mean, do you think about the amount
of records that were sold between the three of you,
especially Hoodie, So I think they're they're diamond, aren't they.
Speaker 1: Yeah? That first record Crack to Review, Yeah, I mean
it sold ten million in its day. So yeah, well
I don't know who knows where that's at now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, it's so you you knew those guys
back in the day.
Speaker 1: Of course we were signed the same label.
Speaker 2: Well I know, but but like before you guys got signed.
Speaker 1: No, we didn't know. No, we didn't know them before
we got signed. Were they would have been in Carolina?
They were more on the frast OKAYEP and we were
in Atlanta. We were playing live shows, but we were
we were really doing as much in the studio as
we were live. Really, you know, my father's studio was there,
so we were. We were as much of a studio
band when we were young as we were going out
playing trying to trying to come up with a live scene.
We were we were we were equally trying to trying
to stay in the studio and play this. We basically
just played around Atlanta.
Speaker 2: So you and you mentioned your dand studio which you
own now reel the real studios. Realdashlife dot net is
the website. Make sure you guys check that out. But
that must have been a nice luxury of having a
father who owned a studio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was a it was a DA studio,
but it was on the level I mean he got
that tried it board straight from Oxford, England in nineteen
eighty five, and so it was on the level. It
was pro, but it was it was DLI but Man
certainly Man collective Soul there. You know, that's where we
cut our teeth. Edw's head engineer there. That's where I
learned all the studio acumen and and we came out
of the box wanting to create songs and create music
and serve the songs as opposed to just I think.
I think some bands are just playing live and trying
to create music as good as they can, and then
they go to the studio and they're they're not maybe
comfortable in the studio. And we we obviously were birthed
in the studios. We've always been comfortable there.
Speaker 2: Are as far as the studio goes. I mean, are
you guys, how how do you feel about pro tools
and making stuff too perfect that you can't There's a
lot of bands, you know, they go in the studio
and they just you know, nail something, you know, with
a lot of help, and they go live they can't
reproduce it. How are you guys about that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, uh, you know, it's it's it's just
recording software, you know, the the it still has to
be natural, it still has to come from this place
of of of organic feel, and vibe pro tools won't
won't get that for you. You have to be a band.
And and yeah, I mean we've just always looked at
anything that you can use in the studio as a tool,
uh right, that we need to use as a creative tool.
You can't think about it like I almost put it
in there. It's gonna fix everything. That's that that's not
that's not the way you do it.
Speaker 2: Right, right, And so I'm assuming you guys are one,
there's no tracks going on when.
Speaker 1: We play live. Yeah, yeah, Johnny, the way we came
up with that so we could get some some of
the sounds and some of the things that are on
the record that we don't do live the way. We
kind of found a hybrid answer for that. And me
and me and Johnny, me and Ryan Hoyle kind of
started that doing that. But me and Johnny really Johnny
rab Our, current drummer, really honed in what the system is.
We just we actually have samples of the stuff, but
he's triggering them live, so we are not chained to
a track. There is no pro tool system backstage for
us right where so many bullets are hitting play and
playing along with it. No man, So if something happens
to his little trigger pad, we still don't care. Man,
we go. We're a rock band.
Speaker 2: Dude. That's great to hear. I mean because, like you said,
a lot of bands are doing it. It's like all
the background vocals are tracked and it's like some of
the lead fuck I saw a wasp you could tell
he was singing to a track. Say come on, man,
you know fucking do this, And it's great to hear
that somebody's still out they're doing it real.
Speaker 1: That just wouldn't be right for us. And I don't
think you. I don't I think you. We've always said
thinking pride in being a great live man. But I
don't think people are asking you to sound like the
record either. I think they want you to. I think
they want you to get close to what they love.
You know, do your thing. But for us to think
we want to play along to some tracks and make it,
try to make it sound almost exactly like a record,
I think that's just missing the point to me.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that takes away from the live experience.
Rock and roll is not supposed to be.
Speaker 1: Perfect, you know, it's like perfectly imperfect exactly.
Speaker 2: I mean, fuck it like one of my favorite shows
of all time. I mean I wasn't at it, but
I saw it on the MTV. You know, GNR Live
at the Ritz. They're fucked up, they're out of tune.
Speaker 1: But it was magic magic. You know, it can be magic. Absolutely,
that's the only way to get magic. It's not magic
when you're playing along to something.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just no exactly. Do you speaking of
the MTV, I mean everybody talks about the first time
they heard themselves on the radio. Do you remember where
you were the first time you saw yourself on MTV?
Speaker 1: Actually, I don't, now that you mention it, I remember,
I mean, Sean was on the buzz Band and it
was on MTV all the time. I don't remember I
was the first time I saw that video. Huh. I
remember where I was the first time I heard the
song on commercial radio. We were all in a van
together heading down to Florida to play a show because
that commercial station. Like I said, Jr. R. Had added
it on rotation and we heard it, we heard it
on commercial radio. We're like, whoa, all right, all right,
this is cool, this is cool.
Speaker 2: Did you guys ever, I mean, look the Here to Eternity,
which comes out this Friday on the seventeenth, that's your
twelfth record. Did you guys ever take a break? Did
you guys ever say the fuck it, we're done and
then then come back to Because like I said, I
don't know a lot about the history of the band.
Did you guys ever break up and then come back together?
Have you guys been going the whole time?
Speaker 1: Those certainly some uh those certainly like a round up.
Right before the Youth Record, there was a few years
there that were a little bit, a little bit of
shaky ground. That's you know, that's when we had some
members of the band uh uh, not being our band anymore.
Let's just say that, Oh yeah, that.
Speaker 2: Rock and roll it happens.
Speaker 1: And then there was there was and there was an
era where we all were working on some side projects.
But after that, after the Youth Record, it's pretty much
been like, yeah, okay, we're gonna we're gonna keep doing this.
There's no reason not to do it. It still feels
completely natural to us. I mean, you know you mentioned
here to eternity. Uh, creating and coming up with these
songs is still as fresh and still as inspirational, and
it's still something we crave and thrive on still today.
So it's and we have no problem finding the songs
and the inspiration to do it. So man, we're not
We're not going. It's just part of us. Man. It's
it's we're fifty percent live or fifty percent in the studio.
And I don't think that'll ever change.
Speaker 2: Dude, that's great to hear and like, you know, like
I like I said before, how it sounds like a
collective soul record. A lot of bands like you know,
around two thousand, you know, especially after that great wall
in Von hit, they tried to change.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It sounds like what's what's relevant now? And it sounds
like you guys just stuck with what you guys do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we just so like I said, we
I don't know if it was confidence or what, but
we just always thought, if you do what's natural and
it feels good. We never chased any sound. We just
never did. We never even talked about it. We just
did our own thing.
Speaker 2: How did how did the success affect you guys?
Speaker 1: I don't know. You get to afford a better a
nice lifestyle.
Speaker 2: I guess yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh, it's just I think it just made us want
to do. You know, all we especially in the early days,
all we talked about was what's next. We never we
never looked looked back and said, wow, we did it.
We never ever did that, and still this day, we
just always talked about what's next.
Speaker 2: That, dude, that's great. And because the reason I asked
that is because you know how sometimes like you know,
you're a band, you're brothers, and all of a sudden
success happens and that's when the cracks start, and that's
when the egos happen, and YadA, YadA, yadas. You guys
didn't have to deal with that at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think I tell this a lot, man.
I think the fact that we literally to say it's
a small town story is an understatement. I mean, we,
me and the Rolling Brothers, we don't have a memory
without knowing each other each other our whole live. So
I think that is a different perspective than guys who
came together in their adult life and created a band.
And you know what I mean, I think it's different
because our parents knew each other, our parents supported us.
It was you know, it's something that just you know,
we we're family.
Speaker 2: And you you have a solo record that came out
of what twenty eighteen? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sarah Jetty Drivers.
Speaker 1: I say that in Serengetti like SERENGETI Setty.
Speaker 2: Sorry. I closed down The Tropicanic closed last night for
good and I was there when it closed down and
I stumbled home. So I'm just are you in Vegas?
I'm in Vegas, baby right on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk
about your solo record a little bit.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I started off on piano and
drums and learned a guitar around thirteen. But man, when
I sit behind the piano this there's a funky, poppy
side of me that comes out, and you know, you
sit there and you create these songs, and sometimes you
wonder if people want to hear them. But I'm proud
of that record. I'm working on. I'm working on collecting
getting together the next list of songs for the record,
for a new record. So yeah, I love getting in
there and doing something different.
Speaker 2: Too, do you So do you do everything yourself?
Speaker 1: No? I love getting in other musicians to help out
other creators, other artists. But yeah, on that record, I
play all kind of instruments.
Speaker 2: Sure, dude, That's like one of my gods is Richie Cottson,
and he that's what he does. He records everything himself
and he goes on and plays as a you know,
because obviously you can't do it yourself live unless you're
using tracks and cots and is non attracts guy, I
can tell you that much. When you guys write, are
you guys getting the studio and jam and see what happens?
Or is it more like people bring shit in?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean in thirty years, we've we've kind of
done it a number of different ways. But man, it
starts with Ed uh D's a super prolific writer and
he's gotten more focused with his ideas over the years too,
So he comes in with some pretty structured songs now
and then we kind of we put a twist on
it and make it a make a collective soul song.
In the day, we used to do a lot more
jam let's stumble upon something, but we still will do
that and and you know when we create it has
to start. It has to be a band. It has
to it has to have a vibe of a band.
We don't We don't just send in parts and do
this here and fly this here. We have to get
together and make and get that that little energy you
get when you play together and you find that that
zone and ride it.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, well I love that because I like, there
are a lot of bands now it's like you we
put together a record, we just sent in the parts.
It's like that, where's the magic? You know? I don't
think you can really get the magic without being in
the same room together.
Speaker 1: I think you can create some good music. Of course,
you can create some hints that way too that people love.
But in general, if you're gonna try to be a band,
you you need to get that. You need to get
that chemistry and that energy working in the same room
and find it. There's it's more than just putting your
finger on a threat and hitting it in time. It's
more than that. And and and if you work it
out and you find those those magic moments you then
you can elevate the song and you serve of the
song and hopefully the song becomes bigger than than any
of the individual parts.
Speaker 2: And you guys have a show in San Antonio this
upcoming Monday. That'll be the twentieth, and then the tour
starts on the thirtieth in Dallas. Collective Soul, Edwin McCain
and of course Hoody and the Blowfish. Do you have
another interview coming up? You're done?
Speaker 1: You're my last? God today, man, all right, well.
Speaker 2: I hope it ended all right. I'm really bummed though,

I'm not sure about this whole cassette thing, but whatever, man,
we'll go with it.
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this before we go. Somebody
that's on the recording side of it. Back in the day,
everything was mixed for Vinyl, and that's why it always
sounded so much better. How different is that today? I
ate be? I got the new Black Crows record on CD,
and then I traded in a bunch of my old
CDs and that I didn't need anymore, and I got
the vinyl and I ate beat it and it sounded
pretty much the same. How does How different is it that? Now?
Speaker 1: I don't think it's really the mix, but you should.
You should definitely master the mix differently for vinyl, okay,
and uh, and we do that so our our vinyl
is is mastered a little differently to seek and just
all the frequencies are are popping properly, all right.
Speaker 2: And if people want pre order the record.
Speaker 1: Or they can just go on my website any of
our socials and website, you'll be able to.

I googled the studio and I found one in Australia

Speaker 1: Yeah, real to Real studios usually pops up if you
just google it. But it's it's the one in Atlanta, Georgia. Yeah,
check it out, man, it's a it's my legacy. It's
where Collective Soul came from, and I've poured a lot
of energy in there, and I'm I'm producing a lot
of people right now out of the studio.
Speaker 2: So that's great, that's great. When did when did you
take it over?
Speaker 1: I took it over officially about a year ago. My
father passed away about four years ago. I walked in
that place and I was like, there's just no way
I'm letting it go. Man. It's it's designed to be
a studio from the ground up, and there was nothing
in me that that thought I should let it go.
And so my my dad had a partner, and then
as oflast year, I'm official.
Speaker 2: Dude, that's great to hear. Man, keep that legacy alive.
