0:00
What's up guys, welcome into the DBP.
0:03
That was gross wasn't it? The downbeat podcast.
0:05
It is a personal bucket list guest.
0:07
It's Danny Filth of Cradle Of Filth, an icon.
0:11
I'll I'll be honest with you, most of the episodes me gushing.
0:14
I've probably wanted to speak to this guy for I think he knew as
0:17
well. I think maybe it's a bit cringe,
0:19
who knows. I've wanted to speak to Danny
0:20
Filth since I was about 13, so it was a really good chat.
0:24
I wanted to ask him, you know, all the normal stuff, but also
0:27
like, is your house weird? What's with all the collabs?
0:30
They've got an upcoming collab with Ed Sheeran.
0:32
We have a amazing story about that.
0:35
Great guest, great guy. I really appreciate him taking
0:38
the time. Iconic band.
2:03
Danny Filth legend. Greetings.
2:06
Welcome to the Downbeat. Thank you.
2:08
Thanks for having. Me.
2:09
Thank you for coming. A literal legend in that chair.
2:13
You captured me. I did.
2:15
I literally came and captured you.
2:17
I heard a bit of soundcheck sounding unreal.
2:20
Yes, all right. We're kind of getting to the
2:23
flow of being back out on tour now.
2:24
Got bit of a new crew which is always a new monitor engineer
2:29
and lighting. Monitor new monitor engineer.
2:32
Yeah, I know. I was scared.
2:34
Can I say shitless? Yeah, you.
2:35
Oh, OK. The only one you can't say is
2:38
the word that you put on the back of a T-shirt.
2:40
Oh, OK. All right.
2:41
We can. We can believe.
2:42
That would be one thing to say. Yeah, Yeah.
2:45
So no, it's going well. Long story short, no fights with
2:48
the monitor engineer. No, not yet.
2:50
It's a couple of shouts. It's got to be the worst job.
2:53
It really has. Yeah, no one likes you.
2:55
Ever. He's actually a very likeable
2:58
chap. I don't know how long that will
3:00
last. Good to him, Glasgow.
3:03
You've got a you've got a checkered history with Glasgow.
3:06
I don't know if you remember. Have we?
3:08
Yeah, The the Lord. Oh I thought you meant like
3:12
fights or. Something.
3:13
No, no, for that I think the Lord Provost, I think they call
3:17
him He. Whoever he is.
3:18
He denounced you. His name's Alex.
3:20
Alex Mawson. I don't know if you remember him
3:22
by by name. Not by name.
3:24
No, I'm a big kind of fellow fan, by the way, just just so
3:27
you know. That was a long time ago, wasn't
3:29
it? It was.
3:29
It was. A 99 something like that, I
3:32
think 2001. He he was 99 to 2003.
3:36
So it was in between there. Yeah.
3:38
I'm guessing it was around that time he called you, I think,
3:42
sick and obscene. Oh, wow.
3:45
And you used it on maybe a live DVD probably as like back?
3:51
At the top. The quote at the top, I remember
3:52
seeing it in Kerrang. What I was going to ask you have
3:55
you ever, because obviously you've had a, you know, a fair
3:59
few people not happy with your music, including him, have you
4:04
had any like, memorable encounters with protesters?
4:08
No, strangely enough, you'd think Deep South America, but
4:14
your head didn't do would be all placards, you know?
4:18
And banners. And you know the devil has taken
4:21
over the music. Whatever.
4:23
One guy I think outside a complex who you know and I
4:27
didn't even came for us. And the same with Russia.
4:29
When we were touring in Russia, we were literally running
4:31
parallel with cannibal corps and we did a massive tour back and
4:34
it was like 19 shows ended up above North Korea and they were
4:40
touring at the same time and two of the shows had to be cancelled
4:43
or redirect. One of them got cancelled, but
4:47
it turned out the truck carrying the PA turned over on the way
4:51
there, and the second one just got redirected to a small club.
4:55
We couldn't play. So we just ended up doing like
4:57
acoustics. Acoustics, he says, not doing
5:00
anything toward it and the signing or whatever, because the
5:04
guy was fearful that the police would shut him down, didn't even
5:08
turn up or anything. Meanwhile, cannibal courts were
5:11
like every single show they were having Gypful.
5:16
But no, no, I don't know why we did get arrested at the Vatican,
5:20
but that was our fault for turning out there wearing.
5:22
What did you do? Well, actually it was Korang's
5:26
fault. They came out on the Cruelty
5:27
tour and it was like the first one of the big first shows there
5:32
where Napalm Death supporting and they said, oh, we've got
5:35
photography, we want to do a bit of a story.
5:38
So we'll take you into and we'll film you against, you know, some
5:42
sites. Yeah, Yeah, we're thinking, you
5:44
know, outside the Colosseum, that kind of thing.
5:47
Not some, some. Is it some Peters Square?
5:49
I don't know one of the most holy places on earth.
5:52
Yeah, driven thing from my memory.
5:53
But anyway, that being said, I do remember it.
5:58
So yeah, there was completely empty.
6:00
And then we're taking these photos and what have you and
6:03
armed police just came out from nowhere, surrounded us with guns
6:05
and like, you know, machine guns and talking very excitedly as
6:12
one guy who could speak English. He was trying to explain why
6:15
everybody was so fucking angry. It wasn't the Jesus of the
6:18
shirt. It wasn't the I had this cheeky
6:22
Camden I Love Satan T-shirt. Yeah, I know.
6:25
I know exactly the one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's 98.
6:28
Yeah, late 90s. But they're more offended at
6:30
all. Keyboardist was dressed up as a
6:33
vicar, like a priest. He that was his thing.
6:36
Apparently that carries death sentence or something.
6:39
Not death sentence, but. Close to.
6:41
Close to imprisonment in the Vatican, which is, you know, I
6:44
mean a state unto itself. But luckily this guy had some
6:49
semblance of what we were talking about.
6:50
And apparently his cousin was a fan of metal in general.
6:53
Knew that we were playing with Napalm Death outside the city
6:56
for well, we don't detain them here.
6:59
There's going to be a bit of a mini riot over there. 3000 odd
7:02
people let us go. But it wasn't without a lot of,
7:07
you know. That's amazing.
7:08
I wonder if when they let they let you go wouldn't have been
7:11
Google back then. I was going to say they Googled
7:12
you ask Jeeves. What was it not?
7:14
Yeah. Yeah.
7:16
Like I wonder if they found out later on.
7:18
Like we could have done him. We could.
7:20
We had him right there. The T-shirt guy.
7:22
Ask Christ. Askchrist.com Malignant
7:26
Perfection. It's awesome.
7:29
I'm a big fan. Cool.
7:30
I'm a big fan. I.
7:31
Just saw the Justin Hawkins thing the other day.
7:33
He did a big podcast just on that song.
7:37
Got a bit muser in it, like playing along with it and
7:39
everything, but it was generally really funky funny.
7:42
What was your thoughts on him? He's really nice, Blair,
7:44
actually, he said, oh, I remember Danny.
7:46
And I was thinking that's he's just making this weird story up.
7:49
And then it turns out it was a nightclub he used to frequent
7:52
and his little tale would ring to and be being, you know,
7:57
relatively drunk at the time. But he doesn't mention anything
8:01
else. Like, you know.
8:02
I like. Partying with him, you know, in
8:05
the toilets. Go on, you want.
8:06
To mention it, you can mention it.
8:09
The Forum Metal Hammer Awards years ago.
8:12
You know what I mean? When it, when it, when it was a
8:14
thing. Partying in the toilets?
8:15
What? What on earth were you doing in
8:17
there? Just having that, a roller
8:18
disco, a 70s roller disco, that's what I meant.
8:21
So it did. I'm not clear.
8:22
That's absolutely fine. The, the song, what I wanted to
8:27
ask you, I don't want to go too much into it about like, you
8:31
know, boring, boring press stuff.
8:33
However, they're your inspiration for lyrics you've
8:40
previously, you know, taken on literary and, like, horror movie
8:45
stuff. Yeah.
8:47
What's the story with this one? The new.
8:49
Album. And is it horny now?
8:52
Particularly the new song? Does it come out of horniness?
8:57
Does it? Yeah, it does.
8:58
A little bit, yeah. I think everything comes a bit
9:00
out of sex and it's like a marriage of sex and death.
9:03
Yeah, it's perfect. Yeah, I guess a new album, new
9:07
album isn't themed as such because every now expects us
9:10
like they do with King Diamond, that every record we do is going
9:13
to have this overarching theme or be a fool, you know,
9:16
soundtrack or something. Admittedly, we have done four or
9:19
five conceptual records, but this one isn't is is is more
9:25
just recently as a band, we we decided like we're going to
9:30
write songs. And there's, I mean, there's a
9:33
couple on the album that are a little bit, you know, more long
9:36
winded and more like what we used to do, but Dissection esque
9:39
or whatever. But yeah, of late we've just
9:41
been really trying to write songs that people can remember
9:44
and that we enjoy really playing.
9:46
And really, I mean, not that we haven't done that before, but
9:50
it's, it's just been a thing where we've concentrated more on
9:52
the music. With a with a concept album,
9:55
it's really can difficult to because you're like each one's a
9:59
chapter and at some point or another there's going to be the
10:03
the joining bit, you know, to make it all make sense because
10:06
otherwise you're like going, what the fuck is this about?
10:09
That's why so many people think, you know, Oh my God, this band
10:12
is great. It's on the concert record and
10:14
the band's going. Have we the fucking idea?
10:17
Oh yes, of course. Yeah, that's what it means.
10:20
When you do a concept record, are you starting with lyrics or
10:23
are you starting with music? That's our thing, because I
10:26
always let them let the band play around with music until we
10:29
get like two or three songs that you go right, this is a
10:33
direction. It's not just aimless, you know,
10:36
and. In Factory, how do you then
10:39
like, like what you're saying? Like obviously a part of it is
10:42
the climax of the story. How do you then like arrange the
10:45
song so the right bit of music is there?
10:47
How? Do you do a 500 piece puzzle of
10:50
a jaw? You know what?
10:51
I. Mean does it take a long time?
10:53
Yeah. Does it take like like before
10:57
the last record as a four year gap?
10:58
Yeah, but that was COVID happened.
11:00
We actually recorded. Write some songs.
11:02
Well, we did. We were in the studio recording
11:04
that album during COVID and it was very nice.
11:07
It was too, you know, it was only me and the, the, the the
11:12
studio engineer could go there a couple of times, have
11:16
roadblocks, but it was fine. We live out in the countryside
11:19
and every night I'd draw. I just bought a new car, so I
11:22
was dry. I'd dry purposely.
11:24
Audi, by the way. Completely the opposite side
11:27
just like a drive back through the town because it was like
11:29
Silent Hill, no no one around it was eerily cry like zombie
11:34
apocalypse. Did you take any flights during
11:36
COVID? On the on the tail end, yeah.
11:38
It was glorious. There was no one there.
11:41
The only people that were there had like a visa that meant they
11:43
could go so everyone knew. Give some space at the baggage
11:47
thing when your group numbers called.
11:49
I loved it. And then immediately the media
11:50
author, it's. Just back-to-back to normal.
11:52
I know. Yeah, we got to America and then
11:56
that was odd because every show had to have a COVID test.
12:00
Yeah, I was there as well. And then there were two both
12:03
support bands, they contracted COVID and they both had to leave
12:07
the tool. 1st all back. And we really, we're playing New
12:10
York and yeah, we everybody had to wait around to literally
12:15
about half 1011 for us to go on. Kind of like a bit miffed it
12:19
just happened just there and then.
12:20
Did you get it on the tour? No, no, our guitarist did.
12:24
When we got to Canada, we had to leave him behind.
12:26
So we had one guitar and then occasionally our guitar tip
12:31
would decide he'd get up and do another song.
12:33
Occasionally just just pop up. Well, just occasionally we told
12:36
him to. Yeah, I got, I got COVID on the
12:39
1st tour back and I was so unwell.
12:42
I was like I don't think I want to do this anymore.
12:44
I was fucked really. I'm back.
12:47
Touch. Oh my God, is that real wood?
12:49
I don't know know what, Danny, I've got no fucking idea.
12:54
Touch wood that because I only got it once and it was like
12:57
really fucking mild. Super Marvel touched.
13:00
Some actual wood. They had fucking Larsa Works
13:02
drumsticks. They're not even fucking Woody
13:03
Plays metal once. Do it.
13:05
Yeah. Made of metal.
13:06
So you mentioned you live near. Was it Sky Akins?
13:12
Scott Atkins. Yeah, Well, near his studio
13:14
anyway. So did Scott do the new stuff as
13:16
well? Yeah, Scott's pretty much done
13:18
everything we've done since 2012, even my other other band.
13:23
Great. Great mixer.
13:25
Yeah, he's, he's good. He he just used to hear me get
13:28
the best out of us. And he's like this, you know, go
13:31
right. We're doing another album.
13:33
He's going to set. We'll do exactly the same thing.
13:35
It's always like, no, we'll, we'll do this, we'll try this,
13:38
we'll mix it up a bit. And again, new songs.
13:41
That's that's the thing about a new album that has some
13:43
different songs on it. Different songs, different.
13:45
Do you have to like go and read loads of books, like because
13:49
you've always got like this song's about this, this song's
13:52
about this. Do you have to like just go,
13:54
I've got to write some fucking lyrics.
13:55
I've got to go and read a book club, always read a book.
13:58
I've always wanted to read. No, just download Audible.
14:02
No, no, no, no, just just read. Generally not.
14:06
I'm not a bookworm as such. And actually, to be honest, now
14:10
I've learnt to cook a bit, I have been listening to Audible.
14:12
You're. Cooking.
14:13
What are you cooking? HelloFresh.
14:15
I loved it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:16
My, my my girlfriend introduced me to it, whom I met during the
14:21
pandemic. And since then I was like, wait,
14:24
because what I hate about cooking is like spending a day
14:27
looking for the bloody ingredients.
14:29
It's an ad. Now you're doing an ad.
14:31
You're not even fucking bad, Fresh.
14:34
That's fucking amazing. We still need to talk about that
14:36
fucking song. I malignant perfection, Yes, I
14:39
want to know what the lyrics, what inspired the lyrics?
14:42
You really wanted to write a song that it was so catchy and I
14:46
thought, I want to combine the something with something that
14:48
people would put on at a certain time.
14:51
And that's like, we're not writing a Christmas song.
14:53
Are we fucking stupid? I mean, yeah, Halloween was
14:59
because we wrote it last year was coming up and it just got
15:02
that vibe from the song. I just wanted to sort of embody
15:05
the spirit of it, give it a bit, like you say, a little bit of
15:09
sexiness about it as well. And because it was so catchy,
15:13
something that when people are like, because I have a playlist
15:16
for for Halloween and generally most of the songs got Halloween
15:19
in the title. Yeah, ironically enough.
15:21
So King. Diamond, as mentioned earlier,
15:24
what is on your Halloween playlist?
15:25
Halloween by the Misfits Halloween 2 by Sam Hain type
15:30
sound. Typo negative.
15:31
Take these Halloween. Yeah, typo, negative.
15:35
Definitely some the soundtrack. Three about 3 typo Halloween
15:39
songs with one with Halloween in the title.
15:41
What is it? Halloween coming in heaven?
15:43
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
15:44
And then there's Black Hallows. Well, black number ones, Yeah,
15:48
much Halloween in. It Oh, I've got a question for
15:50
this, but we can go straight into it 'cause we're on topic
15:52
prior to Nymphetamine. Yeah, you did a tour with Type O
15:57
Negative. Yeah, they supported us.
15:58
Believe that. Fucking hell.
15:59
Type O Negative is my favorite band of all time, so number one,
16:04
I just want to know if you've got any cool stories from that.
16:06
Yeah, yeah, loads. You've got anything that pops
16:08
out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:10
Well, the the thing was we we headlined the B stage that year
16:13
of the American Oz Fest. So we had that and that was all
16:16
of a sudden that was like 10 glorious alcohol soaked weeks in
16:20
the under the American sun, you know?
16:21
Yeah, it was amazing. And then we had that to finish
16:25
the year. So it was like Moon spell typo
16:28
and us what? A fucking line up.
16:30
It was it was amazing. And yeah, there's.
16:32
So many hot goth girls there. I'm sorry.
16:34
There was, thankfully. Yeah, sorry.
16:36
There. There were two stories that
16:38
stick. Well, three stories.
16:40
My boy was Kenny was. Oh, fuck it.
16:45
Yeah. He didn't bring me back.
16:46
Anyway, Kenny, Kenny Hickey wasn't supposed to be drinking.
16:50
He was like, Oh no, you can't drink.
16:52
You know what you like when you drink.
16:54
They're all you know. I think there was one day where
16:57
we were led to believe that Pete's mum was ill and they'd
17:00
flown and I was like in their port.
17:02
Grand Rapids is there? He flown back to New York
17:05
overnight and that's why they weren't doing the gig.
17:08
You were natural fat. He was crashed down the back of
17:10
their bus and he had a Bender and just didn't want to do it.
17:15
Yeah, that was the day that I didn't realize we're doing the
17:17
gig. And I was I said I'm going to, I
17:19
know we're not doing the gig. So I'll be with the bar around
17:21
the corner and like literally the tour manager and the crew
17:25
without even listening to me. So it's halfway to being half
17:29
cut when the support bank at Moon Spell came in all with
17:33
their make up still on. And I was like, what the fuck
17:35
are you doing? And they said you are playing
17:39
about 20 minutes. It was awful, fucking awful gig.
17:43
But no Kenny Hickey, I think we're in Ohio and he wasn't
17:49
supposed to be drinking. And one of the band said to me,
17:52
Kenny's going do us a favour while you're while you're there.
17:56
I know you get on. Can you just take him away from
18:00
the merch stand because he's really embarrassing everybody.
18:02
And also there's a bottle of whiskey.
18:05
Try and get it off him and hide the fucking thing.
18:08
So I do both things, engaging with conversation, whatever it
18:12
was. I have to paint a picture here.
18:14
This was, it was snowing, so there was ice in the car park
18:18
outside this gig. So why, why the nightclubs going
18:23
on afterwards, just the same venue?
18:25
I'm there talking to him, introducing something, grab the
18:29
bottle from him. Or, you know, take it, have a
18:31
swig, and then surreptitiously go and hide it up on the bus.
18:36
I didn't realize you'd seen me do it.
18:37
And I came back down and next thing I know I'm just lying in
18:40
this puddle going, oh fucking hell, He just chimed me.
18:44
So I got up and we had this massive fight, or it looked like
18:47
a massive fight to everybody else.
18:49
Everybody was like fucking horrified, and there wasn't much
18:54
of it. They split us up and whatever
18:55
and don't think anything of it. Fucking fights with people all
18:59
the time. So next day we're in Detroit and
19:04
Pete comes to me in the Goose Derby.
19:07
I'm so sorry about the shit that Kelly did last night.
19:10
The old man is so shit. Fuck me, I don't have a personal
19:14
word with that motherfucker. And anyway, I wanted to carry on
19:17
doing the Voice. I loved it but.
19:19
He, he, we then decided we're having a bit of a laugh about
19:23
things that he said. I've got a dressing room
19:25
upstairs full of hot chicks and industry types and whatever.
19:29
Let's go in there and really shake things up.
19:31
So basically just this room fucking froze.
19:35
We kicked the door in me and him pretending we were having a
19:38
fight. It's like he's 8 foot tall like
19:41
5 foot 5 like looking like we're reading.
19:44
We were like kick the furniture and everything.
19:46
The whole room just fucking froze and even when we stopped
19:50
doing it and just went, people were still like what the fuck?
19:55
Horrified. Yeah, that was pretty funny and
19:58
didn't really engage too much with Pete.
20:00
It was a bit of a lone a lot of the time.
20:02
But you got him because a bottle of wine to him was like, you
20:05
know, a little mini bottle. Yeah, giant man.
20:08
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
20:09
So he'd be there with a bottle of wine in hand, slugging away
20:12
and that, and he'd probably call you over and have a little chat
20:15
with you. I mean, it's quite an
20:17
interaction you had storming through that room.
20:19
Yeah, it was funny. I got into typo literally the
20:22
day he died because I was like a kid and then he died and it was
20:26
all over Koran and I was like, oh, I should probably check this
20:29
out. And now I checked out.
20:30
I was like, Oh my God, it's so fucking good.
20:32
I never get to see him. Well, I was a fan of Carnivore
20:35
during my flash metal days and then when the typo thing came
20:38
out, I didn't really did a couple of records and didn't
20:40
really strike me at all. And then I'll back in 93 when we
20:47
were recording the principle of Even Way Flesh.
20:50
We went up to Academy Studios in Dewsbury and I'll guy that was
20:56
like a record company. Guy came with us and he had this
21:00
four track of bloody kisses, which I think was we don't the
21:05
one that sounds like Tracy's sister, because there's like
21:07
loads of different that one summer Brees black number one
21:10
and Christian woman. But edits and yeah, it was so
21:14
fresh and so new that literally that there was a couple of
21:20
records that just became the soundtrack to us recording.
21:23
That's amazing on a full track. Do you think that's spilled into
21:27
your lyrics, Torium? And them, well, I may have
21:31
influenced Nymphetamine the album.
21:33
A little bit. That's what I was thinking,
21:35
because it's sex. But they they, yeah, they were
21:37
on Life is Killing Me at that point.
21:40
That was that tour. And they had a really cool, they
21:43
were support them, but they had a really fucking cool simplistic
21:47
stage show which was amazing. But they were all in prison
21:51
uniforms and they had wrapped. They'd like a little tower with
21:54
a Searchlight on it, I think 2 set, 2 towers, 2 searchlights
21:59
and, you know, fake barbed wire round things.
22:03
It looked really cool. Yeah, it looked really cool.
22:06
I'm got it, I never got to see them.
22:07
Speaking of nymphetamine, while we're on that I've got 2
22:10
questions. This is just me, if you don't
22:12
like my questions, fuck you because this is me asking
22:14
someone that I respect what I want to know.
22:18
Nymphetamine Fix, It was Grammy nominated.
22:22
Yeah, I've got 2 questions, which is the press agents are
22:25
going to hate you because they're supposed to be talking
22:27
about new stuff, but I just want to know because I can't find it
22:30
anywhere. What was the reason between
22:32
having If you don't know if you're listening, there's an
22:34
amphetamine overdose, which is the long song.
22:36
Yeah, fucking ribs. And then there's an amphetamine
22:39
fix, which is just a shorter version.
22:42
It's a bridged version. It's just the bit in the middle
22:44
taken out because they want it for radio.
22:48
We didn't want it, we didn't want to edit it.
22:50
So we took it out and it because the the the main songs like a
22:54
trip tickets got like a 2 wings either side so.
22:57
Heavy, sexy, heavy, heavy, sexy heavy and he took sexy out.
23:01
Got nominated for a Grammy. Did you go to the Grammys?
23:03
No, I was in India, my mum used to rent a house, a villa in, in
23:08
Goa for like 6 months, me just going through a hippie phase and
23:12
we went out for Christmas. And I remember even seen as like
23:16
a, a paper out there and obviously a newspaper and
23:22
there's a journalist who it was on the front page and he'd gone
23:26
to the Grammys and he voted for nymphetamine.
23:28
And that was the thing. He had a picture of us on that
23:30
and we were like, Oh my God, fuck, it's happening today.
23:32
While you were in India? While we were in India, Yeah,
23:35
this is like. In a paper in India, yeah, While
23:37
you were there, yeah. That's got to be like, Oh my
23:39
mum, look at. This.
23:40
No, no, no, no, she, she found it.
23:42
And yeah, it was just, we kind of got beaten by it was how some
23:47
killswitch were up for like, and a Motörhead and Motörhead were
23:51
doing a cover of Metallica's Whiplash.
23:53
It wasn't even a proper song. You know the industry types and.
23:56
Oh, we know Motörhead. Yeah.
23:57
Yeah, that's what happened every single fucking year.
23:59
It's kind of what this guy intimated in his his very Indian
24:04
way. They say things like turn turtle
24:08
and soup turned upside down. If a car car gets hit on the
24:13
road, they they say it's turned turtle.
24:15
Turned turtle. And they say super sleuth
24:18
instead of detective. Everyone's observation, it just
24:22
sticks out. Super sleuth, super sleuth.
24:25
It's great, isn't it? It's like.
24:26
That's. Fucking fun.
24:27
You expect a gadget? You mentioned your girlfriend
24:29
twice now I've mentioned sexy lyrics she amuse.
24:35
Yeah, yeah, I would say, well, I wrote she is a fire about her
24:38
actually. That's what I was going to ask
24:40
are any, because there's a lot, there's a lot of like I'm sexy.
24:45
He's doing it a disservice. There's a lot of.
24:47
I mean, it's sexy, but there's a lot of.
24:49
Erotica. Erotica and adoration in there,
24:52
Yeah. And I was wondering.
24:54
Yeah, I would say she's a very sexy lady.
24:58
It's have a muse. Yeah, it is actually.
25:00
I've got a bit of a. Vision at my age, I've.
25:03
Got a bit of a muse but I can't really write lyrics so I don't
25:05
really know what to do. It makes me work harder so I can
25:08
buy her things. You should start a podcast.
25:10
Yeah, that's what I've done, Danny.
25:11
I think that's exactly what I've done.
25:13
While we're on the subject of recordings anyway, just go and
25:16
check out. If you don't know Craig, just go
25:18
and check it out. Legendary, iconic.
25:21
Just fucking sick. More stop stops.
25:23
I'm going to suck him off at the end of this.
25:26
What I want to know. I know he can write a song about
25:29
it. That could be the next.
25:31
Everything's inspiration. It's the most it's the most, you
25:36
know, anti Christian thing you could do really, really actually
25:41
anyway you could top. That, enough of that.
25:43
You haven't pissed on a church. It's not one of my questions.
25:45
To live next to a church, actually like literally next
25:48
door to a very famous church in Suffolk.
25:51
And anything I didn't like about it was Sunday mornings, because
25:55
obviously fucking clatter of bells waking you from your
25:58
slumber, your eternal rest. You didn't.
26:00
You didn't like it, do you? Sleep.
26:02
No. I love I.
26:02
Actually, imagine you sleep like this.
26:04
Yeah, I sleep more with my hands very like literally if I sleep
26:08
around my girlfriends house I should hack my own arm off
26:11
because she I end up and she's sleeping on it.
26:15
That's cute though. Not really, it's painful.
26:17
That's cute. I'm still gonna get on to these
26:20
questions that I have on music. But while we're on the House
26:22
thing, irrespective of our conversation in the car, I want
26:26
to know, is your house like mad Spooky?
26:28
Yes. Like I've seen a following on
26:31
Instagram. I've seen in the background.
26:32
You've never really done like a house tour.
26:34
I don't want to, you know, I'm away from home too much.
26:37
And then people are really sort of like judgmental.
26:39
What did you do that as fuck off?
26:41
I love all that shit. It's a bit of a museum, I must
26:43
admit. Very tidy museum, but a museum,
26:46
yeah. It's been really weird in there.
26:48
Dialect. A dialect.
26:50
Yeah, black dialect, dialect SEC.
26:52
Yeah, the speaks and everything. All sides?
26:54
Yeah, that's fucking awesome. Where is it?
26:56
What room? Garden Room.
26:58
Garden Room. What's a garden room?
27:00
A room next to a garden. Conservatory.
27:02
No, it's just like it's. A room.
27:04
It's next. To a garden it did.
27:05
I haven't got much of A garden. Right.
27:07
To be honest, it's a townhouse that used to be other houses and
27:11
they they raffled off my fucking land.
27:14
What else is in the Daleks room? In my head You've got suits of
27:18
armour you got. Like, no, I've got a couple of
27:24
so-called, you know, full size sarcophagus.
27:26
Oh. Rico cover guys, Really where do
27:29
you get them from? Where you buying a sarcophagus?
27:31
I put ace, Kevin Camden. It's it's obviously not a real
27:34
1. That little shop in the lock.
27:36
Might have been. I want to buy there's like AI
27:39
know exactly the shop that has all that weird stuff in it yeah
27:42
there's it's still there there's like a full size samurai armour
27:46
yeah and I want to buy it so much I.
27:49
Reckon that was a place, yeah. It's definitely the same place
27:52
with the same you and I. Yeah, just lots of statues and
27:58
tribal masks, which I pick up all around the world.
28:01
Awesome, you never think about letting anyone in for a little.
28:04
No, my house is on the market and nobody knew.
28:08
I mean, that's why I didn't sell it.
28:10
I got a serial killer painting that's John Wayne Gacy.
28:13
Really rare one. By him.
28:15
By him, yeah. Physically drawn by him.
28:18
Yeah, yeah, Painted. Whatever he's done with it,
28:20
it's, it's terrible. I mean, it's it's not, of
28:23
course. It is he was busy doing other
28:24
stuff. Well, This is why I was in
28:26
prison. It's got a prison release form
28:28
in it. It's got a bit of his blood
28:30
mixed in with it, but it's of the universal monsters, though
28:33
you wouldn't really know that. It's like a child's done it and
28:36
then the Jason mask in the middle.
28:38
Apparently it's really rare because he normally just smaller
28:40
pictures. He did the Jason mask.
28:43
No, he he just drew it in the middle.
28:44
It's like universal monsters. Right.
28:46
The Mummy. Dracula.
28:48
Oh yeah. Frankenstein He.
28:50
Likes a bit of horror. Did he?
28:51
Who knew? Well, that's it.
28:54
I mean, the books, Yeah, that's pretty.
28:56
I mean, you know, RIP to everyone involved, but that's
29:00
kind of cool. It's got enough times passed for
29:02
me to say that's cool, isn't it? I'm cancelled now.
29:04
Again. Great.
29:06
You briefly mentioned the principle, the evil made flesh.
29:10
Yeah, you have, and I am very thankful for this.
29:14
But I'd like to know your thought process behind it.
29:16
You've previously remixed songs from that and you did Cruelty
29:23
Remistressed, which was also remixed.
29:25
Yeah, that needed remixing. Because in my opinion, like when
29:29
I see a remaster I'm always like that's a fucking money grab.
29:32
Like rarely rarely is anything really need remastered.
29:36
Like how many times the Black Album been remastered?
29:38
Remastered one of a record I really like, Bathory and the
29:42
Sun, Black Mark and everybody listens to it.
29:44
Doesn't matter where you go to listen to this one, you go fuck.
29:47
It's unlistenable. It's unlistenable.
29:49
The drums got so much reverb on them.
29:52
It just, it renders a record rubbish.
29:55
Everybody listens to that record.
29:58
There's original pressing of it sound fucking incredible.
30:01
And vinyl. I think you could probably track
30:03
it down on a not to buy but to listen to on YouTube.
30:06
But I don't know who the fuck did that.
30:08
But it's become a staple because that's all anybody knows and
30:11
that's when it's shit. Somebody does a bad job.
30:16
But we we just took it. We were able to get the masters
30:19
and we just reverentially, reverentially I, I don't, I
30:24
think it's. You're the word Smith.
30:25
I'm going, yeah. It's a yeah.
30:27
Yeah, It's a new word. I just came out with Yeah, we we
30:31
painstakingly brought it back to life.
30:34
So. Nothing was retracted, it was
30:35
just. No, no, no.
30:36
It was just just all remixed. Because I love.
30:38
It from scratch. I agree it needed remixing and I
30:41
love it when people do a remix that needed to be done.
30:45
Yeah, and not just a money grab, but like, oh.
30:49
Yeah, God, it was a money grab as well.
30:51
Really. No, I was going to say because
30:53
you would have just remastered it.
30:54
Yeah, well, it was painstaking. That's that's what after time
30:57
you spent more time on. You got any plans to do any of
30:59
the others? Not as yet.
31:01
I'd like to do Midian. Yes, thank God you said that
31:03
I'd. Like to do Midian but I'm not
31:05
sure if the masters are still a thing because there was a fire
31:08
at the a publishing company which stored and I can't
31:12
remember if they disappeared or not.
31:14
I'd have to look into that. Retrack it.
31:17
Go through the whole thing again with Jesus Christ.
31:19
Median again. 2000 Geez, that was a different person then.
31:23
I tell you what I don't know. He's speaking a median, The
31:25
voice at the beginning. It's not Christopher Lee, is it?
31:29
Of of her ghost in the fog. No, no, that's Doug Bradley
31:33
Pinhead. Pinhead.
31:34
Yeah. How?
31:34
Amazing. He's been on four of our
31:36
records, I think really maybe 5. Anytime it's spooky, anytime
31:40
it's spooky voice, it's literally Pinhead.
31:42
Most of it, yeah. Not not all of it.
31:45
Some of it. How do you most of it?
31:47
How do you get pinhead pinheads numbered You get out of John
31:50
Wayne Gacy. Well, he's a he's a good friend
31:52
now. Actually he's been to my house
31:55
because we needed to track an extra part from him.
31:58
So I said we haven't got to just bring it to my house and I
32:00
converted my. Garden Room.
32:04
My office into a makeshift recording studio.
32:07
For Pinhead. Yeah, which is kind of weird
32:09
because I had pictures of Pinhead on the wall, which he'd
32:11
signed before. That's amazing.
32:13
No, it was good fun. He's he's a really jovial, nice
32:17
guy. Lives in America now, in
32:18
Pittsburgh of all places. Did you ever see, I mean, don't
32:22
talk to me about moving to America to be weird somewhere.
32:25
But he's not Pittsburgh. Yeah, yeah, it kind of sucks, no
32:29
offence. Pittsburgh.
32:30
Good bridge though. That bridge is in Batman.
32:32
Perfect. Still watch a bunch of horror
32:34
films. Absolutely.
32:36
You know what, I, I, I, I got out of it for a while, but
32:38
recently I think mainly because like I said, we we talk pre talk
32:43
amble about girlfriend breaking the leg and maybe sort of
32:46
spending a lot of time looking after whatever.
32:48
Watched a lot of horror movies recently and I can name some
32:51
really good ones. I think this year has been.
32:53
That's what one I want some recommendations.
32:55
Terrify 3. I haven't seen one or two.
32:57
Should I be doing this? No it.
32:59
Doesn't matter. There's a bit of a back story,
33:02
but it doesn't really count. I'd be like Abigail.
33:07
Oh God. Now, now when I say there's
33:10
hundreds of movies late night, but The Devil was really good.
33:15
Yeah. I, I didn't really want to watch
33:16
it because the premise didn't sound great.
33:19
So I left it to the last minute and I thought, I've got a few.
33:23
I packed really early for Australia when we went on tour
33:25
or something. I was like, I've got some hours
33:27
free. I can't believe it the night
33:28
before. So I watched that and then
33:30
ironically, when I got on the plane, it suggests some things
33:33
for you if you've flown Qantas for a while, you know, or
33:35
whatever. And that was the first film.
33:39
Qantas knows that you're spooky as fuck.
33:41
Qantas were just like yeah this fucker will love this.
33:44
And they had it on there that. Was really I loved it.
33:46
I loved it. I loved how 80s it looked and
33:48
felt and everything in the ending was cool.
33:50
Yeah, yeah, it was amazing. I loved it.
33:53
Fucked. There's loads of them, but of
33:55
course I wasn't overly keen on that Nick Cage film that
33:59
everybody was, what was it called Daddy Not Daddy Long
34:05
Legs. Long legs.
34:06
No, I haven't seen it yet about. I've seen divided people saying
34:09
it's the best film ever. No, it really wasn't.
34:11
I'm fucking love my horror to bits.
34:14
And it wasn't it it it kind of gets that way and you think
34:17
about this is really cultist and it's shot really well and very
34:20
original and weird. And then suddenly it just it
34:23
just sort of like third quarter. It just descends into the
34:27
predictability factor. The book of Revelations.
34:31
This, this you just go oh snore. And you're like I did.
34:34
That and then it just ends in a way where it just, you just
34:37
don't feel like satiated by it. Do you know what I mean?
34:39
What do you think of hereditary? That was great that there's a a
34:43
a few films that have come along of that ilk of every since
34:48
Midsummer and then Mandy. Mandy was great.
34:51
Mandy score is amazing as well. Yeah, yeah, I've actually got
34:54
that. I'm a massive soundtrack fan.
34:56
That's my. Thing same.
34:58
That's my thing. Soundtracks.
35:00
Yeah. With the turn of Coppola's
35:03
Dracula, I also like soundtracks.
35:05
I never bought them before then, like Star Wars and stuff that
35:08
and then after that was a turning point after once for
35:11
Coppolas, you know, the gram Stoker.
35:13
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That fucking got hundreds now.
35:16
Like the Dracula soundtrack? Unreal.
35:18
Like the opening scene, all that stuff.
35:20
When? He's never a good film, which
35:21
has got a similar theme. Weird thing was it was supposed
35:26
to come out two years ago at the cinema and they buried it and
35:29
then it was, it had come out in America and I just assumed it
35:32
flopped. Which obviously did put The Last
35:35
Voyage of the Demeter, which is the boat that takes Dracula to
35:39
to me. And it's got a cast of superb.
35:43
It's so well done. It's proper gothic horror,
35:46
violent, looks amazing, you know what I mean?
35:50
It took me two years to watch it.
35:51
You can buy it anywhere. I thought they're just like, it
35:56
was like a legal loophole where they had to get rid of it and I
36:00
saw that recently. And how did you see it?
36:01
And if you can't watch anywhere? I can't tell you.
36:05
Danny Phelps got a cracked Fire Stick.
36:08
It was a Blu-ray that somebody gave me.
36:11
Oh, so I can't just go and watch that?
36:12
Well, because it was American Blu-ray.
36:14
But you don't have to fucking buy it.
36:16
Yeah, well, anyway, you might be able to get on Amazon now that.
36:18
Sounds good though it sounds right on my.
36:19
Street really amazing. I was very surprised.
36:23
In a violent nature is another good one.
36:25
Bit slow. I liked it, yeah, but I agree.
36:27
But good. And there's another one called
36:29
Beaten to Death which is fucking sick.
36:31
I mean, that sounds fucking awesome.
36:33
Yeah, it's pretty sick. The guy gets his eyes put out
36:36
about 20 minutes into the film and navigates the whole film
36:39
with all these horrible wounds. Sounds perfect for me.
36:44
Have you got a shadow membership then I imagine.
36:46
OK have you? How do you feel about foreign
36:48
language horror? Yeah, I don't mind it.
36:50
Have you watched the Sadness? On I have not, no.
36:54
It's maybe one of the most violent.
36:57
It's a series. Isn't it?
36:58
No, it's just a, it's a Taiwanese movie and it's like
37:02
quote UN quote zombie. Like I'm not actually a zombie
37:04
guy. I don't really like a zombie
37:05
movie but like. It's too much of it isn't.
37:08
Yeah, but it's like, I like it when I do it right, like trained
37:11
Busan and stuff like that. But this is Taiwanese zombie.
37:15
But it's basically COVID, but it's like a virus that makes you
37:19
insanely violent. And they call it kind of like 28
37:22
days later ish. Yeah.
37:24
And they call it the sadness. And it is absolutely
37:27
horrifically violent. I must.
37:29
Check it, Yeah, but that's on the on the list.
37:31
It's really great, I'd love to know your thoughts on it.
37:34
There were some other really good ones I saw where it's a
37:36
strange darling. It's weird.
37:39
It's a very strange film about this prostitute Darling.
37:42
It's about a prostitute and this guy who's a policeman.
37:45
And it, it starts off with you thinking that this guy, because
37:48
he's a serial killer abroad, it's the guy.
37:51
Everything points to him and it turns out it's the woman and
37:54
she's so fucking weird. Really.
37:57
Yeah, and she gets away from him, but she's really hurt him,
38:00
so he's come to kill her and then the other police is is
38:03
fucked up. Violent, violent.
38:05
Fucked up. Yeah, that's my shit.
38:07
Are you looking forward to Nosferati?
38:09
I'm not looking forward to going to see it on Christmas Day when
38:11
it's released. I'm going on day one as well.
38:13
I know my friend is. I was like, fucking hell, your
38:15
mum's gonna love you. I'm doing, I think I'll be in
38:17
Nashville. I've got I've got a suitable,
38:20
I've got a suitable goth to come and watch it with.
38:22
Me, it's a very strange time to release it when they release
38:24
Terrify Free. I get it before Halloween, but
38:27
Terrify Free is a Christmas movie.
38:29
It's just Christmas, yes? That's weird, they should have
38:32
swapped. Really.
38:33
Yeah. Just point to each other
38:34
Christmas. That's kind of cool though, that
38:36
Robert Eggers thing of where he's just like, I don't care,
38:39
I'm going. To it looks good.
38:40
It looks really good, but it looks it looks like it's got a
38:43
lot of elements of the movies in it because again, it's just a
38:46
Dracula story but set somewhere else.
38:48
So it looks like it's got the Klaus Kinski original, maybe
38:52
even a bit of shadow of the vampire, which was the the thing
38:55
about the making of which also had what's his face?
38:59
Green Goblin going William Defoe William.
39:01
Defoe Yeah. But it also looks a lot like
39:04
Coppola's track here, a little bit like Frankenstein.
39:07
Yeah. And.
39:08
Checking all the boxes for me. Sleepy Hollow.
39:10
Love Sleepy Hollow. It's got that kind of vibe to
39:12
it. But yeah, looking forward to it.
39:13
I'm. Looking forward, I'm gonna go
39:14
watch it. I think it's super Christmas
39:16
Day. Substance.
39:17
Did you see that? Everyone's been telling me to
39:19
see it and I haven't seen it yet.
39:21
Yeah, that's fucked up. Is it as good as everyone says?
39:23
It's amazing. Yeah.
39:24
It's real body hot. I thought it was David
39:26
Cronenberg. You.
39:27
Know, I saw, I saw a spoiler, I saw when she's all fucking
39:31
messed up and I was like, oh, that's so annoying.
39:32
My fault for not going when it came out.
39:34
Yeah, I'm stoked on that. You've done some mad
39:36
collaborations in your time. You've got some mad
39:38
collaborations coming up. I want to know what's going on
39:42
with the Ed Sheeran one. The Ed Sheeran one is done and
39:45
dusted. We did it like two years ago.
39:49
It was. It was weird because we would
39:51
plan to do it for about a year and a half.
39:53
That come about. I don't know.
39:56
I think our managers got in touch with each other somehow.
39:59
His manager Stuart is used to listen to Cole Chamber when he
40:05
was growing up. Ed used to listen.
40:07
He said that when he did, he did like a vampire thing.
40:11
I come in with a bad something. What a vampire band.
40:16
No no, he did a single where he played a vampire.
40:18
I don't know anything about him. And I think one that he got
40:21
asked questions somewhere where it was like, you know, you in
40:25
heavy metal, I don't know why. And he said, yeah, I was really
40:28
in the Slipknot and Cradle Of Filth.
40:30
And then this story came out how he was going to come and do his
40:34
apprenticeship, you know, like from school thing, you know, at
40:37
our studio. But then we decided not to do
40:39
it. And the truth of it was that we
40:41
weren't recording an album there at all.
40:42
We just rehearsed. But the guy kept telling
40:45
everyone that we were to get his studio some money.
40:48
Apparently, whether he decided not to do it or it just the
40:53
vacancy wasn't open, he went to work in at the local council,
40:58
Ipswich Borough Council. Oh, he's local to you.
41:01
Yeah, yeah. So he went to work for Ipswich
41:02
Borough Council and had such shit time now evidently, that he
41:07
decided, no, I'm going to pursue my music.
41:10
Whereas I think if he come to work with us, it would have been
41:12
the other way round. I'm going to kill my.
41:14
You're responsible for his success.
41:16
So apparently they, they, they talked and, you know, the, the,
41:20
the chat came around, you know, we, we should do a club at
41:22
Belarus. And he was like right up for it.
41:25
So when he was eventually free and we were free, he just comes
41:29
to the studio by himself. He didn't even ask like, are you
41:34
going to be there with your mum's and everything going Oh,
41:37
head. So we were very respectful.
41:39
And that was just me, the producer and him in our little
41:42
countryside studio probably 15 miles away as a crow flies from
41:46
where he lives turns up in his wife's secret mini.
41:49
You know, the one he can get out of the house on his own cradle,
41:53
hoodie, guitar on his back. That was it.
41:56
And he had a cradle hoodie on. Yeah, what a legend.
41:58
We spent the afternoon recording.
42:00
He's telling us loads of funny stories, you know, like really
42:03
lads, really cool really. And then we finished.
42:07
He, you know, he said we were like, do you want to go for a
42:10
pint? He said, why, I'm a bit peckish.
42:11
So we went to the local pub, at which point everybody in the
42:15
pub, and it's like a very, very rustic old country pub.
42:20
Suddenly everybody, all these old dears and that all knew his
42:23
mum. And they were all flocking over.
42:25
Oh, must say hello to him. And he'd be like, no idea who
42:29
that is, That's so funny. But it was really cool.
42:31
The song's great, it just is. We didn't want to release it
42:35
back then because we were busy with other things.
42:38
Then he couldn't release it because he was doing a bunch of
42:40
stuff, so it's just going to come out when it does.
42:42
We didn't want to put it on the album because we just didn't
42:44
want. To So it's a Is it a Cradle song
42:46
featuring Ed Sheeran, or is it an Ed Sheeran song featuring
42:49
that? No.
42:50
It's a brand new Cradle Of Filth song featuring Ed Sheeran, and a
42:55
lot of it sounds like Ed Sheeran.
42:56
He's playing acoustic tie, singing Ed Sheeran a lot.
42:59
That sounds like us. It's a blast.
43:00
Beat Scream. Oh my God.
43:02
Ed really pushes himself in it as well, you know?
43:05
He doesn't scream no. No, he does rock vocals, you
43:07
know, he goes for a bit of. What's the lyrics about?
43:10
Can you give me any juice there? It's called.
43:14
I think, no, I can't. I can't talk about it because I
43:16
get in trouble. You can't talk about the lyrics,
43:18
you can't do anything. It's it's about affirmation.
43:21
Affirmation. It's.
43:23
Always horny? That's a bit about sort of self
43:25
affirmation. Nice.
43:27
It works. It's really good song.
43:29
Only about a few handful of people.
43:30
My mum hasn't even heard it. And then so.
43:32
Anyway, that will come out as and when nice.
43:35
And Can you imagine he's also, you know, like he's in he's
43:39
probably chasing the the Taylor Swift sort of thing.
43:44
You know, they're very. He's doing all right, isn't he?
43:47
He's. Doing bad.
43:49
He's doing all right in my head. The fever dream of just you and
43:53
Ed Sheeran. Ed Sheeran's In the Cradle
43:55
hoodie at a country pub surrounded by old women.
43:58
He also shares the my love for fiberglass dinosaurs.
44:03
What do you mean fiberglass? Dinosaurs.
44:04
I just I've always like if I've because I collect weird stuff.
44:07
It's like if I have a bit more land.
44:10
Oh, the big outdoors ones, Yeah, yeah.
44:11
Are you going to do it or you have done it?
44:13
No, no, no, I've got plans to. I'm going to move into your
44:16
house. There's plans for this lake with
44:18
a giant octopus coming out of there.
44:20
And then I found out that he's actually got a bunch.
44:22
He's got like a walk through in his garden where he's just
44:25
bought loads of fiberglass dinosaurs.
44:27
What it's like sane, a thing to bond over and B, how did that
44:31
even come up in conversation? I just don't, you know, I really
44:35
like Ed Sheeran. Fiberglass dinosaurs.
44:37
Yeah. I'm sure there was a place,
44:38
though, because I'm from reading.
44:39
I'm sure there was a place in the South when I was a kid and
44:42
they had like, it was like a park and it was just all of
44:44
those I remember. Going, oh, you know, thinking of
44:46
Isle of White and Black Gang China.
44:48
Maybe snacks? We did you.
44:49
Ever get what? Yeah, it would have been that.
44:51
I suck a fever dream 'cause I must have been like 3 or
44:53
something. I just remember being like, it's
44:55
amazing. Didn't quite stick as much for
44:57
me as it did for you and Ed, but.
44:59
That's awesome. I just like weird stuff.
45:01
I'd like a gun full of weird shit.
45:03
And what my guns full of weird shit anyway.
45:05
What's the weirdest thing other than garlic and other than the
45:07
John Wayne Gacy painting? I don't know.
45:10
What would you save if there was a fire in in mansion?
45:14
I'm assuming I'm just calling. Mansion.
45:17
Filth, Maison. Filth is yeah.
45:19
Oh. Fuck no, it's I, I don't know
45:21
what I'd go for. Probably an African mark.
45:24
I've got a a mannequin that's in my bedroom.
45:27
Bedroom mannequin. Yeah, she's she's like a vampire
45:30
goddess. Yes, for Cleopatra.
45:32
God, I love you. And she looks a lot like my
45:36
girlfriend, but my girlfriend doesn't is like she's she can go
45:40
in your office gives me the willies.
45:42
Oh really? Do you have to take her out?
45:44
No, no, no, no. Yeah, you do with girlfriends
45:47
every now and then. So keep them.
45:49
Keep them on your side. I meant like the the vampire
45:52
goddess, like you know, does she have to leave the room when you
45:55
when she oversee things? She doesn't leave the room.
46:00
She doesn't leave the room. That's fucking awesome.
46:02
Is she dressed up like proper goth?
46:04
She hasn't got a yeah, yeah, kind of yeah yeah.
46:06
She hasn't got a huge amount of clothes on, no.
46:10
Fucking so sick. Oh it's like looking into a
46:13
mirror in my head. The the vision of you and Ed in
46:16
this pub is quite a lot like the actual video that you did with
46:20
Bringing Horizon, where you're just in full.
46:22
You know what was cool about that?
46:24
Because everybody always says, why the fuck are you doing?
46:27
You know, you did something with what's that band Twisted?
46:31
And it was like a sort of beast. When I say Beastie Boys track,
46:35
it was like half rap, half male. Yeah, people would say, why
46:39
aren't you doing it with something as well?
46:40
Because I like the juxtaposition of like when somebody says,
46:44
could you do this song and go, oh, hello, this will be weird
46:48
and weird, strange marriage. And the thing that made it more
46:52
appealing about the boom with the horizon thing was that my
46:55
daughter, massive Ollie Seitz man like Hugh.
46:59
So I took her up to to his place which was the drop dead.
47:05
You. Know big big gaff and hung out
47:08
with Ollie for a bit and then we went to shoot the video which
47:11
wasn't it was kind of like can we come in and shoot here it
47:15
wasn't like deserted it was a functioning local supermarket in
47:21
in Sheffield and my daughter is actually in the video shopping
47:24
for some cheese I think and yeah so she was all about that and
47:29
then they asked me to do it on the stage at all points East
47:34
where they headlined and yeah obviously she's she was in fact
47:38
she's VIP whenever they play Ollie promised and she's kept to
47:42
the word and. That's so cute.
47:44
But, well, she's 25. It's not that cute you're
47:47
thinking of a. Section.
47:48
Yeah, in my head. In my head.
47:50
She's 13. But it is.
47:51
It is cool. He's he's one of those people.
47:53
He transcends like age of fandom.
47:55
Yeah, and I think the premise point that video is he just of
47:58
which I agree on. He's like, they want me to do a
48:01
lyric video and I hate lyric videos.
48:03
And yeah, I like the lyrics, but I fucking hate lyric videos.
48:06
Just a cheap excuse. Yeah, I want videos.
48:09
I want to be in a video. I fucking can't stand lyric
48:11
videos. No, it's just fucking.
48:13
Never done one, never done. One, there was a point when
48:15
music industry used to make money and then 2008 onward bank
48:20
crashes and whatever onset of the digital age, etcetera,
48:24
etcetera. Oh.
48:25
You got some good. You got some good good before
48:28
that happened though. Yeah, absolutely.
48:30
Yeah, Yeah. But I just miss the, I miss the
48:33
the record company sending you to, you know, New York now it's
48:37
just all down on the phone, a supermarket.
48:40
I miss the been able to record in a because they just shut
48:44
down. Even if you've got the money to
48:46
do it. Yeah, a lot of our great works,
48:49
as people call them, were were done in studios where you went
48:53
to live, you know. Yeah, like Park Gate, which was,
48:55
it was like being on holiday. We all had our own chalets, you
48:58
know, stayed up all night partying, blew things up, you
49:02
know, also recorded an album. Yeah, kind of go in the way.
49:05
Eventually. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
49:07
Residential studios, and they're just a thing of the past.
49:09
We get lucky. We recorded New Jersey with Will
49:12
Putney and here's his residential and I did.
49:15
I recently had Mono Jeopardy Mono Valley in Wales.
49:18
Yeah, in fact we fucking hell, the weirdest thing is
49:21
Nymphetamine and Damnation and the day we rented those out to
49:25
write the album. So we'd spend 2 weeks twice
49:29
there just near Watford, and it was when they were doing the
49:32
place up. So still the studio was still
49:35
workable, but some of the rooms were at the back, like 9
49:39
bedrooms, 10 bedrooms. They were still doing them up.
49:42
So they let us have it for a little bit cheap.
49:44
We had a great time now. Yeah, same.
49:46
That's why I brought it up, because I was like, I remember
49:48
our. Party they did flood boy because
49:50
they built like the. Flood No, no, it was it was
49:52
after that, but then I recently had that shut down now, but it's
49:57
air being it's on Airbnb Yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:59
So I know a few producers that are just like, I'm just gonna
50:01
fucking bring a rig in Airbnb. Modern, modern.
50:04
Well, that's the great thing. We were able to use that little
50:06
studio. The weirdest thing about that,
50:09
well, not really weird thing, but I was just randomly on a
50:12
looking over, you know, like when you're on a plane and
50:14
you're more interested in what anybody else is watching.
50:16
And I just looked between two headrests and I was like, what
50:21
the fuck? That's Mono Valley.
50:24
This woman was watching the documentary on Oasis and
50:26
apparently they they they did a bunch of stuff there.
50:29
One last thing on the collaborations, and this is
50:31
literally again purely for me and no one is going to care.
50:35
Did you hope? So.
50:37
Are you aware of the Vetamont T-shirt?
50:40
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we did.
50:41
That an official collab. We did a collaboration with them
50:44
and we're doing some weird collaborations, and that's
50:46
thanks to Dez for Farah and Anastasia for for Farah.
50:52
Dez is obviously Cole Chamber. Cole Chamber, Devil driver,
50:54
Yeah. Yeah, and his wife, they managed
50:57
us. They have done the last six
50:58
years they're. Really.
50:58
Amazing. Yeah, Yeah.
51:00
He's like one of my best friends.
51:02
Great. He's a very, very good working
51:05
relationship, both of them just so good at coming up weird and
51:09
wonderful things. And so this vitamin thing came
51:12
along possibly in response to the Balenciaga thing, because
51:16
they used our logo, allegedly used our logo and.
51:21
Didn't give you any. Of nothing, nothing and. £100
51:24
T-shirt. Came back and said no no, it's
51:27
just a rudimentary logo that looks maybe looks a little like
51:31
yours. Which is scum because they
51:32
that's a £900 T-shirt. So Vettelman kind of went one
51:35
step. I think they even released a
51:37
statement where they kind of, you know, hinted at.
51:41
Yeah, yeah. This is this is shit, but they
51:44
were I missed because we were on tour in Australia, but they did
51:48
a big thing in Paris. You know, they're doing another
51:50
one. I'm not sure where it is but in
51:53
January and they have asked me to walk the runway.
51:56
Oh my God, you have to do that. Yeah, I know.
51:58
That's like my favorite. Like this is again.
52:00
No, I would hate it, but it would be.
52:02
I'm not gonna turn it down, but. That's like my favorite clothing
52:05
designer right now is what they're doing.
52:08
Yeah, it's outrageously expensive, but I love it.
52:10
I love the whole ethos. I love all of that stuff.
52:12
You have to do that. Do it for me.
52:14
No, no, again, I I want to do it, of course.
52:16
Yeah, absolutely. Can.
52:17
I guess that's a wonderful. I've just met experience.
52:20
I've just met you. Can I have a guest list?
52:22
There we go, I've got 2 questions on that.
52:24
Does it have the back print? I don't know.
52:26
Possibly not possibly. I don't know.
52:29
That's probably another £1000 though putting that print on.
52:32
Yeah, that's good for everyone. You want a percentage.
52:33
They made a really cool dress. They're making a suit for me,
52:37
actually, for the moment. Yeah.
52:39
But they made a cool dress, and it was all out of old T-shirts.
52:42
And they kind of, I think the theme was kind of reclamation.
52:45
Yeah. And they did it in this weird
52:48
old sort of dessert. It looked like a deserted mall
52:51
or something because they had the models came down.
52:54
Is it out of cradle shirts? The dresses, yeah, yeah, out of
52:57
the region they made a one off piece, but they have done the
53:00
collaboration with some other bits and pieces, which we did.
53:03
We drop Dead as well, which is Holly's label.
53:05
I've got one. I've got 1 upstairs.
53:06
I'm that guy. I'm sorry.
53:08
I'm a fucking sweater. I'm sorry.
53:10
Can you teach me how to do the Danny Filth scream?
53:13
I have to teach myself after I know it's a trade secret.
53:15
Is it a trade secret? Is it a trade secret?
53:18
Is it any or an outy? It's an outy.
53:20
It's an outy. Yeah, yeah.
53:21
I can't do anything you're. So far from the mic.
53:24
It must be so loud. You're so far from the mic when
53:26
you do it. I have some weird little things
53:28
that that I do. That's one of them which I've
53:31
noticed when I watch back on videos.
53:33
I go what the fuck? And I suddenly realise why.
53:35
It is about 10 attenuation with the ears.
53:38
Now I've got tinnitus in one ear, probably because I have my
53:44
highs fed into my ears. That way it keeps like the low
53:48
end on stage without reverb, which means no feedback or or
53:52
lessons of feedback. So getting a lot of the higher
53:55
stuff straight in the ear. I was once, I thought it's 10th
54:00
birthday actually remember that. We had a couple of, we had a gig
54:04
cancelled and we had two days off and this was around San
54:07
Francisco. So I flew home and did six
54:10
flights in 52 hours and my hearing didn't come down.
54:14
It was just still like that horrible, you know, like Jesus
54:19
and I was spent a whole day like that and I was like, this is
54:21
unbearable. So I went to a doctor and he ear
54:23
doctor and he cut my eardrum and I've been an American doctor.
54:29
I think he's more interested in the cash than the the
54:32
repercussions of bang about I'm wearing.
54:34
So basically I've got tinnitus, and so doing that is a kind of
54:40
way to just get it the volume just about right, so it sits
54:43
just without interfering. And yeah, it can be a bit loud.
54:47
And yeah, I have weird things. I drink Ribena, there's no real
54:51
reason for. That that's your warm up.
54:52
Do you know an actual warm up or are you just drinking Ribena?
54:57
Yeah, that's it. Sponsorship please.
54:59
If you're if you're from America, which most of you are,
55:01
Ribenia is a delightful drink which you mix with.
55:04
I don't know what they would call it.
55:06
Americans have squash. In Scotland they just call it
55:08
juice diluting juice. In the South, it's squash, but I
55:13
don't know if America how I've never seen.
55:15
It's a little bit of syrup. Can't.
55:17
Yeah, but that Kool Aid's like a powder, isn't it?
55:19
Yeah. It's like a little bit of syrup
55:21
and then you put water in it anyway.
55:22
Ribena banging. My friend who was from America
55:25
spent about 3 days drinking non diluted Ribena, OH.
55:28
My God, I'll give you diabetes. Yeah.
55:31
Exactly. I had no idea but you.
55:33
Can't teach me how to do the scream, can you?
55:35
Can you do a scream for me now? I haven't warmed up.
55:37
Right, that will fuck you up. Imagine I fuck the show up,
55:39
alright? No, I haven't really warmed up,
55:41
but kind of kind of it's all we have to.
55:46
I'm a drummer. I'm a drummer.
55:47
Oh, yeah, yeah. Wish I yeah.
55:51
I'm not gonna try again. Danny Fell thanks for coming on
55:53
the podcast. Thank you very much.
55:54
It's been a real pleasure. It's been fucking great.
55:56
Let's get you back to the show.
