• 0:54
  Speaker 1: kind of hooked, you know, you want to see those reveals,

• 1:18
  Speaker 1: My Yeah, hopefully he might be around. Yeah, that's one
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of one of the things. But I I always love
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: going to Australia, and whether we're playing or I'm just
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: there on vacation, it's just like it's I just I
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: just love it. So we're really looking forward to it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: The food is awesome. Everyone's really fun and talkative, you know,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: because we're in We're in Vancouver and as a city,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: like people don't interact very much like Australians. Like it
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: seems like Australians they'll like, they'll talk to each other
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and if they don't know each other, you know.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: See I've heard that Canada is pretty similar to some
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: areas of Australia though as well.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, kind of like Sydney. It's it's it's similar
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to Sydney like Vancouver is for sure. But uh, but
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: as far as crowds go, and just you know, Australian
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: crowds are just awesome. They're they're one of the best crowds.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So really looking forward to that. I'll tell you I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: didn't think that either. I would just say the crowds sucks.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Oh, that's is there.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Is there a particular memory from the last time you
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: guys were he in Australia that really stands out for you?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You know? I think like what what stood out for
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: me was just the amount of people that did shoies. Uh.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Stage was really cool because I heard about shoies, but
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't know if people would actually do them. And
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: then we got people doing shoies every night on stage
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and I was blown away. These are some horly shoes too,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: like they're they're pretty rough and people were just beer
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: out of them. So that was really cool to really
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: cool to see that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Do you think you'd ever do one?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think I. I would maybe a clean shoe,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you know, like maybe if it was like Channing Tatum's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: shoe or something somebody that was like, you know, like
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a Hunky Boys shoe, maybe, but but I don't know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't think so definitely not like a shoe.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: No, No, that's fair enough.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I love a lot people do them. That's sweet.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And Australia is known for going hard at shows.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I've just asked you that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Sorry, arch Spires technical precision is insane live what's the
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: hardest part of translating the studio sound to the stage.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I think like the hardest kind of job is
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: is maybe our sound guy's job, because you know, I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: think it puts a lot on a sound engineer to uh,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you know, the audience loves to pick apart the sound
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of a show, so we can we can be performing
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: as best we can and uh and if the sound
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: quality isn't there, then you know, people blame the band
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and the sound guy or both or you know. So
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's a challenge, just to make sure
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that we're coming across as close to the album as
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: as we can. Yeah, you know, but we also don't
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: take it too seriously, Like we all fuck up on
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: stage sometimes and uh, and we don't beat ourselves up
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: about it. And sometimes it's funny and then you know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: sometimes the next night you're just like, Okay, well I
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: messed that part up a little bit. I'm going to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: try to work on that part tonight. So, you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: so I think we just you know, we relax and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: have fun with it and hopefully people that show up
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to the show think that we did a pretty good job.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Let's see it. It's funny.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: You mean, I've never really thought about this when a
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: crowd is like, oh, this sound was crap for that show,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: do you guys hear the same, like in your inner
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: monitors or whatever, like, does the sound crap to you
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: as well?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: No, we can't tell, so yeah, because we have our
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: own our own mix and our own system for our
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: in ear monitors, so we don't know what it sounds
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: like to the audience. And we've actually had new sound
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: guys come on and uh, and we thought the show
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: went really well, but and people in the audience will
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, the sound was terrible. So we're it
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: is we kind of go in, you know, going not
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: really knowing. Yeah, but we've had a good experience in
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Australia and the whole Australian team they're they're really good,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So hopefully it won't be shitty sound for for any fans.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: And if it is, it's not your fault.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Well, it could be me just being bad at my instruments,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: so it could be me being a bad vocalist. But
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I would recommend that if the sound isn't good, to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: go up directly to the sound guy and tell him
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: what he could be better. They love that they love that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and do you have any pre show rituals that
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: help lock in the speed and accuracy you guys are
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: known for.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I think we all do slightly different things, but I don't.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I don't warm up backstage because I think that's annoying
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: for everyone. I think if you're yelling backstage, you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's probably pretty obnoxious. So I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: don't really have anything to get my speed up. But
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I think just not being hungover as a good one. Yes,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that's a good one. But you know that when we
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: when we first started touring, it was like a party time.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And yeah, and now we're kind of old dudes, like
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: we play cards and you know, we'll have a few drinks,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: but generally we're not. You know, you're feeling good the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: day of the show is really important, you know. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: other than that, not not really. Yeah, just maybe maybe
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: doing some jumping jacks or something to get your blood out,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: But no, no crazy rituals, just kind of hanging out.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: You did you guys used to have any crazy rituals.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, I know drummers like
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to warm up a lot, yeah, and all the all
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the all the guys will warm up guitar and bass
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and stuff. I guess I'm just the lazy one and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I don't really do it, but but yeah, they all
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: just warm up their instruments and uh, I usually just
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: annoy them while they're trying to warm up and moving.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: So yes, so yeah, yeah, so if I'm with them,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: then they're getting annoyed, then then I'm much good to go.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, but it sounds like you'll consider it as
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: well though. That's a good point. You don't want to
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: annoy everyone backstage, that's nice of you.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and a lot of death metal singers will
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: be doing like actual scales like they're and then they'll
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: go on stage and just sing death metal and I'm like,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: how does the scales help you? Yes, it's a bit
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: silly because they're not clean singing. So yeah, I never
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: really understood that. Maybe there's something to it, but I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: just don't want to bother everyone with I just grew
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: up and what they get is what they get.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: What they get, that's right.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: And has a set list for the Australian Tool changed
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: much from the from earlier in the year.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it has a bit well, the set list and
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the drummer will be new editions, so we uh, it'll
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: be our first tour with our new drummer, which which
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is exciting for all of us. And we will on
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that tour be playing two new songs off our new
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: album that will be out by that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, how exciting. How often it's going with
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the new album.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: We're they're going really well. Yeah, we're really excited. We
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: have it all done and it's the vinyls being pressed
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: right now and we're just working on music videos right now.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So that's so we could quite busy video correct me if.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong, but you guys self produced this one.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: We did yeah well with the help of all the fans.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So we did a kickstarter because we went independent, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the kickstarter did quite well, so which was great because
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: now we have all the overhead to make really cool
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: videos and to make the album look cool and you know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: so I think the end result, we're really happy with it,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: so hopefully people will be. But yeah, we want to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: make sure that anyone that that supported that kickstarter is
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you know, we exceed their expectations of when they get
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you know, the final products. So so that's what we're
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: working on. Right now. Yeah, did it feel a.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Lot more liberating doing it yourselves?
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely. It turns out it's a lot of work though,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: which we didn't. We knew it would be a lot
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: of work, but we didn't. You know, there's so many
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: of these different avenues that you have to go down
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: for a full release that you know, so new things
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: are always coming up that we we have to tackle,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and uh, but it's been it's been a great experience
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and I don't think we'd ever go back if we
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: could help it.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: So, Yeah, that's weak. Always so excited for that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: And are there any songs who are especially excited to
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: bring back or debut live on this front.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: From our old songs, I mean, they all kind of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: blend into one for me to be honest with. Yeah,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: but uh, I think I'm just most excited to h
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to hear them being played by our new drummer, Spencer More,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: because you know, we we've had the same drummer for
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: our whole career and uh, and now we have some
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: new blood and he's really working his ass off to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: play these songs. So I'm just I kind of feel
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: like we're you know, I get a bit of that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: like starting over kind of energy like that exciting like
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: almost new band energy because we get, you know, a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: new person in playing the songs for the first time,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and so that's what I'm really excited about. And I
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: think there'll be slight little differences that we'll hear that
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the audience will hear that will we'll hopefully excite them.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's we did.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: And obviously things like rehearsal with Fence has gone really well.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well he did an amazing job on the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: new album and he has a ton of work, Like
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: he just did an insane amount of work, and we're
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: all lazy old guys, so to have somebody new doing
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: working their ass off is really nice. But but yeah,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to do do an excellent job
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: with all the old material and stuff. So but again,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: if somebody thinks he didn't do a good job, just
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: make sure you tell him on the internet.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: That's fine of them.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah harassed.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And is there a band or the type of
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: music lately that's inspiring.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: You, Well, I just went just see one of my
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: favorite rappers are the Rugged Man. He's he's really awesome,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and that kind of gave me some inspiration because he
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: does a lot of really fast wrap. Yeah, so it
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: was really cool to see him. It was a really
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: small venue. I think there was like forty or fifty
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: people there, but but that was really cool. I'm yeah.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I As far as new metal bands, I none are
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: really coming to mind at the moment. But but I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: always find a lot of influence in speed rappers, just
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: because that's kind of what I do, and you know,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I can get really inspired by I'll hear a verse.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: That's just I have no idea how they pulled it
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: off and h and that makes me want to work
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a bit harder.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's wicked.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Is there any collaborations you'd absolutely love to do? Maybe
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: with the speed Rappers sometime.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean we've tried to get Tech nine to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: notice us since we started, Yeah, because we all you know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: he's just phenomenal what he does. Yeah, but he has yet,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: he has yet to reach out or notice us. So
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: maybe on this out them, maybe we can we can
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: get his attention. But yeah, that would be an ultimate
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: collaboration for sure. Yeah, Spice Girls, just because if they
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: came back, that would be sick.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, imagine that collaboration.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Great, Yeah, well.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe we'll have to put this out into the world.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Tech nine.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: If you can telepathically hear us right now, please get together, Wicked.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: And what's the most unexpected thing that's happened to you
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: on stage recently?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Well, we actually haven't been on stage recently, so that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that was the unexpected thing. All right, Okay, it's okay,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: We've just you know, I think that's that's why I'm
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: so excited to finally be getting back on tour, and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: this year we have a lot of tours. But but yeah,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: we're just with making the new album. It takes us
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: so long to write an album and then you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: we go we traveled to Denver to record it, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: then we come back and we you know, making these
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: music videos. So I'm so yeah, I'm just excited for
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: for terrible things to happen to me on stage again. Yeah, yeah,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: that's kindly r Yeah. Generally, you know, I don't have
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: too many horror stories of being on stage because metal
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: crowds are usually really really cool and yeah, and yeah,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: for the most part, you know, everyone's everyone's pretty nice.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: So I can't think of something offhand that's that's really
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: been a shame. I mean it's all it's all pretty
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: fun stuff.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that's weird.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Changing that question then, is there an experience what's the
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: coolest or weirdest experience you've had with a fan or
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: maybe a gift that someone's given you that's really cool
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: or weird.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Oh gift, I mean a lot of people. We had
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: a time where people would show up bringing me like
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: hard boiled eggs a lot because I because I had
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: this thing where I was eating like, I don't know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: twenty five eggs a day for a while for fun.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: So people would show up eggs, which seems nice. Mystery
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: eggs are kind of weird coming from Yeah, so you
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: know that's we get weird, weird gifts like that. Or
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I used to do I would guess list people if
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: they brought me meat as well, like some steaks or something,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: so that would be kind of That was kind of
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: cool because you get people being like, oh, this is
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: from the farm next door and it's like meat. So
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that was fun. And we just cooked in on the bus,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like in the trailer on the bus on a little cooker.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a use Yeah that's a useful gift.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, other than that, like not too many, you know, yeah,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: not too many weird gifts.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, eggs are pretty weird.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Eggs are kind of weird. Yeah. Other than that, yeah,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: people just have like food they bring me, so that's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: kind of nice.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh that's yeah, that's cool. And what's your favorite
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Australian band?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, favorite Australian band. Oh that's a good one. Well,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I have to say Psychroptics because I knew it. I
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: kind of have to. Like that's the Australian band that
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I listen to the most, and they're also really good friends.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: But I actually like Plini a lot too. Yeah, I
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: don't know, but yeah, Pleini is is awesome because I
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: really like instrumental music and they just are insane guitar players.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: So I like, I like putting on Pleanie and like
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: when I have to clean my house or something.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's super interesting.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: A lot of see a lot of artists I speak to,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: they do actually have a similar similar answer, where you know,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: they like to tune out by listening to classical music
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: or whatever, and I'm like, that's really interesting. Do you
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: listen to obviously, you listen to music outside of your
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: own genre?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, A lot of the time. I don't
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: really listen to a lot of death metal unless it's
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you know, a cool, exciting new song, or if it's
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: my guitar player sends me, you know, an old band
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that I haven't heard of or something like that. Yeah,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: But generally I like a lot of kind of country
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: western music and uh yeah, like not gas station country,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: but like, you know, like I like Rancher, kind of
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Rancher cowboy music, yeah, a lot, yeah, and some bluegrass
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and uh yeah, and then a lot of instrumental stuff,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Do you like any of the new sort of country
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: artists like Morgan Wollen? I hope he's a country artist.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I don't really know too much.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, I honestly haven't heard of him. Oh yeah, so
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I should check that out.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: But yeah maybe I don't know. I'm not huge into
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: the more newer country stuff. But he's a big one, right.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. My my favorite guy's name is Coulter Wall and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: he's actually from Canada and he's uh yeah, he's probably
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: has the best voice I think I may have ever heard.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, he's definitely for sure.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: That's I'm going to check that out after this too.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Culter Wall, Yeah, he's really good kid.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: And are you working on any new musical ideas while
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: on the road or are you strictly in tool mode
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: right now? I know that's kind of a backwards question
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: because you are getting ready for the new album coming out. Yeah.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: We I mean we we spend so long writing their
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: album that once we're done, we just kind of leave
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the writing for a while. Yeah. And we've never really
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: been able to write on tour because the way we
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: write is all in a room altogether. And so I
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: know a lot of bands have you know, one guitar
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: player will write pretty much a whole song, yeah, and
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: then everyone will write to that. But we write every
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: single little piece together. So so we generally on tour
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: we just focus on the performance and and yeah, put
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: it off till we absolutely have to write, and then.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: And do you find that you're quite the perfectionist with
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: songs like is it? Do you always find things that
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: you're like, oh, I want to change this or that
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: or are you pretty good at going no, that's done,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: send it out sort of thing.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I think we're all very uh, yeah, I would say
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: we're all very very opinionated on every single little part
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and so we kind of we we do generally have
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a rule like if one person doesn't like something, then
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: we don't use it. So you know, so four of
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: us could love it and one person it doesn't really
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: like it. So it takes way longer to write that way.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, like it means
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that we're all enthusiastic about playing those songs on stage,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, yeah, for the most part, we
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: make sure that everyone's happy with it.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome. And is there anything you want.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: To say directly to the Australian fans before the January
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Sharks off?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Bring your shoes because bring your shoes because I think
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: we're going to be bringing the shoeies back. Yeah, clean
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: or Jerry, that's up to you.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: So we may see a shoey from you.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll see a shoey from me. No,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: but I am practicing my Didjery do, so we'll see. Uh,
• 19:01
