  Speaker 3: I went on a holiday to Scotland about four years
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: ago and people over there exactly the same as that,

• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Us, So you're gonna be torn on the back of
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: the lightest album, Zenith, which came out back on for
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the fourth So was there album received as well as
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: the hyper would be.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one thing we're actually realizing on this tour, Like.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: This tour has been the biggest headline shows that we've
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: ever done today and we've not even got to the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: biggest ones of the tour yet.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And I'm noticing, like.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: During the shows more people singing the words to the
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: new songs, and there is a lot of older ones,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Like we're playing songs from like an album Fracture, songs
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: that have not played like since that album came out
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, and we're calling those old songs on
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the stage, you know what I mean. I feel like
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the new album is such an impact that they almost
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: feel the cold song now. It's it's been a it's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: been a very eye opening tour and yeah, like it's
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: just showing how how well the new album has been perceived.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: So it's yeah, it's been well.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I'll spike when he gots around the same time as
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: that album came out and you said the title of
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: the album reflected the fact that played from me. Then
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: we're at the peak of your career, but you still
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: feel like that or do you still think there's been
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: more climbing today?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: But the arms about as well.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: It's not just about like us be album is our
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: best work today, but it's also about recognizing where we've
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a space.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Above, where where we're ready to go next.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: You know, it's not just about like us being the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: biggest in a career or whatever. It's mostly about like,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: like we feel it's the strongest work we've written, but
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it's it's not going to be, you know, if that
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: makes sense.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Sorry, man, I'm trying to string boards together.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: But either fine, man, you should have a Ginness in
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: your hand instead of a Covey.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You know, It's funny. I'm working at right now and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: there's a Guinness sitting right.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: And do it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Do it?
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: You feel a hell of a little better. Crack. It
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: is everything.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: The bed also studying a quite around the time the
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: album came out, that we've still got so much to
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: experiment with musically.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: So do you liberate on no Where or what that
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: experimentation might be.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: It's so hard to say, you know, we've like we've
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: only just started throwing like small ideas together for the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: next album yet, But right now we're just enjoying this
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: one and trying to take it to places we can.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: But we will start.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Writing soon and we always try to, like you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: experiment with each album. And yeah, I just right now,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that looks like, but it for
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: sure will happen.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: But the other end is the music on Zennis reflect
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: the Bed's musical growth. I guess from the debut album
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Humanity to the Spawn in the Korea.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I guess just I don't know.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I guess it's just maturity, you know, Like when we
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: wrote those albums, we're seventeen, eighteen years old.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Now we're like mid to late thirties.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Like I just feel like, naturally, your sound is going
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to mature with your age, you know. Yeah, I feel
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: like back then, when we were kids, it was just
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: all about writing the heaviest, fast songs.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Now it's about writing music that's.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Timelessly, you know, like that's that that's what's important to
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: me anyway. You know, like when I'm if I live
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: to my seventies, I will still be listening to bands
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: like Metallica, Pantera, Slipknot, you know, because they've written it
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter how heavy it is, they've just written songs
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: that are timeless. And that's something that's to me. It's
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: just it's not just about being the heaviest band in
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the world or the fastest band in order. That's about
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: writing music that you're going to want to listen to
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: when mature, Timeless music you're going to listen to when
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: you're like, you know, sixty sevent year old man.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, very cool.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Before I let you go, bro, I got a new
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: segment I've started called fire Out Bomb. So basically I've
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: trod three social media and I've been a couple of
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: fight outs and ask a little bit.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: More about So we'll start with this one.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Like this is obviously taking on your shoe with slipknot,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: but take us take us behind the scenes of bit
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: probably like how well was that experience would have been sensation.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I was not in my body during that photo, to
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: be honest with you, that was the most insane moment
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: in my life.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: It's the photo slip notly when.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: See when we were like fifteen sixteen years old, we cued,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: or me and David did. At least we cued for
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: like seven or eight hours in the pissing rain in
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Glasgow to meet Slipknot and get our album signed. So
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: we stood to be on tour with them and to
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: be standing there in those boiler suits.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: It was the most surreal.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Moment in my life because I still am a massive,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: massive fan of that band.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Like it's just the nostalgia is off the charts.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I barely remember that moment and I hadn't even
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: had a beer.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Well, the second one I've got is it's a great
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: fight I've been Do you do this sort of thing
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: off and then it doesn't look size?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I do every single show.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: On the last song, when the when the when the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: bagpipes are playing, on their last song, I climb on
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: top of the crowd.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I do it every show.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Has it ever gone Petshape? Does anyone ever let you
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: go or worse not, let you go back to start? No?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Not really no, But there's there has been a few
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: moments where I've not been feeling very well and ship
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: myself and still done.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: It ship And I've got nothing from there. They're going
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: to say, the hell has a view from there? It
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: doesn't feel different, But I've got nothing. I'll pity the
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: poor guy, your the ship down your leg, the libraries.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: It wasn't it wasn't enough that it went down my leg, fortunately,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: but it has happened.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: But it's such a you know, it's like one of
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: those for the crowd.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Is one of those kind of talking points, you know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: it's if we're we're supporting. I just see it as
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: like something that I can do in the show that
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: will make people remember the show, you know.
