  Speaker 1: This is Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: We're going to be coming down under in a little
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: while and we're looking forward to seeing you all.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Fantastic. Adrian, thanks for joining us today.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: My pleasure.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: As you say, brother, Iron Maiden are headed back this
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: way for the eighth time in November for the Australian
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: and New Zealand League of the Run for Your Lives
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: World Tour, which kicks off in Auckland on November 7th
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: and 8th before heading to Australia for shows in Adelaide,
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Melbourne and Sydney, then finishing over two nights in Brisbane
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: on November 18th and 19th.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Not long now, man. Are you packed and ready to go?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Certainly are. We certainly had plenty of practices.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: We've been on the road. Well, I've been on the
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: road about six months, so We did have a break.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Gone all through America. We're going through South America. We're
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: in Buenos Aires at the moment. Got a big gig tonight.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: A couple more shows going down to Brazil, Chile, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: then off to New Zealand and then Australia.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So we roll on.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: We roll on indeed. The tour started in Budapest last May, mate.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: So did it all seem like one big blur to you, mate,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: or do you actually get time to sort of take
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: it in and enjoy it sometimes? Yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just saying to someone else, I mean,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: in the eighties, we'd have, uh, you know, 10, 12
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: month tour and you'd be doing seven, eight, nine, 10
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: shows in a row.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It's like, that was a blur.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Now we, our schedule is, uh, not so heavy. We
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: have three months on the road. Uh, you know, you get,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: usually get, we do two in a row. Mostly we,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: we want to, uh, put out the, the, the songs
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: demand that you play them with energy and the crowd
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: kind of demand it. So the way we do that
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: is we, we, you know, we don't have the same
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: heavy schedule. So we, we try to keep the quality up,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: you know, um, and it's a two hour show as well, you.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Know, but it's great.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just, we're really, just really loving playing this,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: this set. And, uh, there's been a lot of demand for,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like a 50th anniversary.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So it's, And it's cold from the first nine albums.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: So we've even had to put more dates in next
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: year because the demand is there for it, which is fantastic.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of young, new fans. It's amazing, amazing, really.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: And one of those lines actually, mate, like you recently
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: mentioned that you're enjoying playing live now as much, if
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: not more than ever, and you're noticing a massive influx
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: of younger fans. Well, what's the vibe like when I
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: had made lands in Australia compared to the rest of
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: the world? And what makes fans over here... different to
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: anywhere else in the world.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It's always been, uh, we've always had a good, good, uh,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: bond with, um, Australia.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: You know, I think, uh, the Brits and the Aussies
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: always got a little bit of a bond, although there's
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: a little bit of friction there sometimes when we, when
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: there's a cricket ball or rugby ball involved, but, um, no,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Uh, it's always great.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: We always love, I mean, it's just a great country,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you know, uh, it's always fun to play there.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So we look forward to it, yeah.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: I was just going to say, like, a lot of
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: those lines, I know you can't pick favourites, but you're
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: looking out there and you're seeing all the old fans
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: in the crowd, but then you're seeing the younger ones
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: in too. Like, what gives you more satisfaction, having the
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: next generation come through or having the same people there.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: For the whole time?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's all about, it's about people are there for
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the same reason, whether you're young or old. You know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: sometimes you see, you know, father, son, and, you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the father's father there, you know, literally. So it's a
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: sense of, you know, togetherness. The band and the audience,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: we're all there for the same reason, pretty much. You know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: we're there to play and entertain and people are there
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to see us. And we find people, you know, I've
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: seen people on this tour have been following us around.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: They come to every show in the front row. And
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: It's nice, really, because these people meet up. They become
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: friends through the band. They have a relationship outside the band. Obviously,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the band is the common factor. But it's almost like
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: a family thing, you know, at this point. And it's
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: nice to see. And it's great to see the youngsters.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: You need new blood, you know.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Hell, yeah.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: You sort of touched on this beforehand, but you're only
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: drawing from the first nine albums, so basically half of
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: your catalogue you're playing on this. So why decide to
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: cover just half on this one?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just, I mean, the very beginning of the show,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: sort of, we have these screens.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: It's an incredible show.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can't take credit for the screen and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the actual production.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: We had a great team doing that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: But it's sort of, it goes with the origins of
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the band, where the band came from, and it sort
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: of builds up. And then we come on and we
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: open up with Murders in a Rue Morgue, which is
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: on the Killers album. It's probably one of the first
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: songs I ever recorded with Iron Maiden. And we haven't
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: played it for years and years and years. And we
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: dug it up. It sounds great. It sounds fresh. It's
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of high energy. It's just a great way
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to open the show. So, you know, we'd like to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: have a theme to tour around rather than just randomly
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: going around and playing the same old, same old, same old.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: We like to try and take a period of the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: band and put it with the artwork. And the artwork
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: on the screens emphasises the songs, for example, like Romney,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Ancient Mariner. You've got the whole story there of the poem,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you know. So people are really just loving that. because
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: it just marries perfectly with the music. You know, the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: music's very dramatic. There's a lot of history in it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: So there's a real depth to it, you know?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, cool.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: And look, as a guitarist, what's it be like dusting
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: off and rehearsing tracks that you might not have played
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: live in a while? Does muscle memory kick in, or
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: do you have to go back and relearn some songs?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of muscle memory, and it's amazing how
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you can just– there'll be a few things, you know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: that you might have to go back and listen to.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: But in the main, you just kind of, it's just there,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you know, and you can just recall it. You know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: it's quite amazing, really. It's stuff you haven't played for
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: 20 years. We can usually play it, you know, more
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: or less correctly, you know, straight away.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so being the 50th anniversary tour, these songs have
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: been with you for a long time. So are there
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: any that you're sort of dusting out for this that
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: maybe back in the day you didn't connect with so well,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: but now you're actually enjoying them in a different light?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: It's very different, you know, from the 80s to now.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, the schedule's not so heavy. Technically, you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the lighting now, I remember in the 80s, The light,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: it was like being under sunlamps that was so hot
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and you had to work so hard and you were
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: just pouring with sweat after two songs. The monitoring is
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: not what it is now. Now you have in-ear monitors.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: It's like listening to a record, whereas like in the 80s,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: it could have been a cacophony of sound and you
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: couldn't hear what the other, you know, somewhere was dark
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and you'd Dave or, you know, all I could hear
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: was drum. You know, it's very difficult to get a
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: balance on stage. especially in a big arena. So now
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: it's technically easier and you sort of grow into yourself
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: as a musician as you get older, you know, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you can, instead of sort of operating all the time
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: at the limit of your ability, you give yourself a
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: bit of headroom, you know, because, you know, obviously you've
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: been playing a long time and I think the songs
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: are breathing more now. We play them with a bit
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: more consideration now we open them out a bit more now.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: So it's a great, you know, involvement of the band,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: you know, we're still evolving really, which is amazing, you know.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: You always sort of pioneered the three guitar attack with yourself,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Dave Murray and Yanni Gerdes in about 1999, mate. So
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: how did the three of you approach arranging the older
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: classic tracks, which were originally written as a two guitar
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: set up?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Like, is it difficult to flesh them out?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Well, I kind of took on that role because when
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I came back in the band, Yannick was already playing
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: what I used to play in terms of melodies, harmonies,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: all that. Solos were unique, just pretty much did what
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: he wanted. So I had to find a way to
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: try and add texture, a bit more depth. So I'll
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: just take a different approach. A lot of the guitar
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: lines I'll play an octave lower. because the guys, you know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the guys are playing higher, which gives it a subtle,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: a bigger sound. I've used different tunings on some songs,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: like Number of the Beast. I use like a drop
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: D tuning, which is what a lot of the kind of,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: it's not modern now, but a lot of the sort
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: of heavier bands like Megadeth and Metallica use that kind
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: of tuning.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: So it's subtle. It's not taken over, but it's a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: subtle thing.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So, I tried to use different chord inversions and just
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: to kind of broaden the sound out. And, you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: when we did the albums.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Originally, there was always more than two guitar parts.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Quite often, there'll be a third harmony or a double
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: track or it's so, you know, the more the merrier
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: really that I think the only problem is, uh, on the,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: on the rhythm side is, is, you know, we all
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: have a slightly different approach to rhythm. So you get
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: a bit of movement in the rhythm guitars, but you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: the guitar lines themselves, um, I think really worked great with,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: with three guitars.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: With the guitars, man, like how much of what you
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: guys do up there is that lived and how much
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: is sort of like got to follow a rehearsal schedule.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Sort of thing?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Well, it's, it's pretty tightly rehearsed. I mean, I, I, um,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: you can't stay straight.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, the songs arrangements are the same every night
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: because you've got lighting cues, you've got the show cues.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: As far as solos go, um, I think if you play,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: like I say, with a more considered approach and the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: songs are breathing, you can then improvise. I certainly improvise
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: a lot more than I used to because the way
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: sometimes we played in the 80s, it was like standing
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: on a runaway train trying to play the guitar.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So you just go for what you know.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: But now sometimes there's a little bit more space in
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: there and you can improvise a bit. But I'd say
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: it's probably a little bit more rigid than improvised, you know.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very cool.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: On the whole.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: On the whole, yeah, cool.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: The tour marks are historic, isn't it, too, with Nico
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: McBrain stepping down from Touring Duties and Simon Dawson taking.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Over on drums.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: So how has his playing style adjusted to sort of
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: the rhythmic foundation of the band and how did it
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: change your internal timing on stage, I guess, in the
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: first few rehearsals?
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was quite, I mean, Poor Nick.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, Nick, I always thought of Nick as probably,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: you know, the best player in the band technique-wise when
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: he joined because, I mean, he was a professional musician
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: since he was 16.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: He played jazz. Jazz, he's like across the board. He
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: could play everything.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, you know, he had a stroke and he just
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: physically couldn't play and his I think any drummer would
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: tell you it's one of the most demanding gigs, you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: probably apart from Rush, you know, stepping in there, doing that,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and that's some gig.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: But it's very physical.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: There's just an energy about a band when we're on
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: stage and it just wants to take off like a plane.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And sometimes you think we just need someone to hold
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: it back, you know, to let the songs breathe, is
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. And Simon's more that kind of drummer,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: you know. He's more into serving the song and especially
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: now he's settling into it. I mean, he's obviously got
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the chops and he's got the stamina and everything else.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: It's just a mental thing about just steering the ship,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: you know, and keeping it on a steady course. And
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: that's what he does, you know, and he's doing great.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: And he's a great guy as well. You know, he
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: fits in personality-wise, you know, really well. But, of course,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: you never replace Nico because Nico is a one-man show,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: He looks like an absolute character. He looks like the
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: sort of bloke you'd want to go and have a
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: drink with down the pub.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Nick's fun and he always has been.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: He's high energy, you know, and he's, like I say, if,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: you know, if there was a drum kit anywhere and
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: he got behind it, he'd bring the house down. He'd
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: be the star of the show, you know. because he's
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: got personality. You can't teach that. But he's still.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Involved with the band.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: In some capacity, and he always will be a part
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: of the band, really. He was there for so many
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: years and such a big personality.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Very nice.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: And the movie Burning Ambition came out early this year too. Like,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: have you did a bit of a feature on that
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: when it came out? Fantastic movie, bro. But, like, how
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: sort of, like, you're looking back through it, you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: like there's little parts in there like the treadmill of touring,
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: how it sort of affected the band and stuff.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: But looking back on that now, like, how does it
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: feel to look back at.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Those turbulent times when you've got everything so stable and
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: healthy and functioning these days? Well, yeah.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a good question because, you know, every
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: band's got history. Every band's got baggage, like family, you know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: some two brothers have a row, you know, years ago
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: and they're still smoldering about it 20 years later. So there,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: there is a little bit of that. I was slightly
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: concerned that it might open up old wounds. Not that
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: we've got that many, but there, of course there are
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: anyone who works together for a period of time, you know,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: disagreements and regrets and all that sort of thing. Well,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I think overall, You know, they did a good job,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: you know. And, you know, I thought if I can
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: get through this and watch on a big screen myself,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: you know, without sort of hiding behind a chair and wincing,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: you know, then it's all right with me.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: And I did. I saw it.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I did a pre– I watched it before it was
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: released and I sort of saw I was okay with it. So, yeah,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and the fans really enjoyed it. There's a few things
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: in there that probably haven't come to light before. I
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: think the guy approached it in quite an original way.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: We weren't actually in it like this face-to-face on camera.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: It's just our voices. So I think it added a
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: real depth to it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cool.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Definitely, Ian.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: We can't sign off, bro, without mentioning the fact that
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Megadeth are coming over with you for all the shows
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: as well, man. It must be pretty cool to have
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: a front row seat to watch that night after night.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I do go out. I don't go out the front.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I go out on the side and watch them. You know,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: you've got to respect Dave. You know, he's been through
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: a lot. And he, you know, after part in company,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I should say, with Metallica, he's he's kind of made
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: a success of it. You know, it's quite very impressive. And,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: you know, they're out there and people love them. So
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I think it's a great show for everyone, the two bands.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, right now.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Before we go, man, I've got a new segment I've started.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I'm just asking people, do you remember the very first
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: song you ever played air guitar to?
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: And do you still listen to that song today?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I remember distinctly. It wasn't air guitar. It was my
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: dad's played a ukulele banjo. It was about this big.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: And I used to grab it out of the, I
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: was only probably eight years old.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: And when the Beatles came on the TV.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I would grab the ukulele banjo and me Beatle week
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: and everything. Pretend to be John Lennon. So I distinctly
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: remember that. And Yeah, I mean, I was hooked. And
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: then when I listened to Deep Purple when I was
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: 15 and that was it, that's what I wanted to do.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: It was in my blood, for sure.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: And you're still doing it, my friend. You're still doing it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I'm still doing it, yeah. Yeah, all right, man.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Well, thanks very much for your time, Adrian. It's been
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: a pleasure, bro.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Iron Maiden in Australia in November. Limited tickets left, so
• 17:39

• 17:41

  Speaker 1: All right. Nice to talk to you.
