  Speaker 2: It's a story of my life.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: So, as you said, we're here to talk about your

  Speaker 3: tenth studio album, Mid Death Crisis, which comes out on
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: April twenty fifth. How you feeling mine.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: You're confident, very confident.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Uh, And I sung usual feeling to have in quite
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: some time, because my last few albums I put out,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I wasn't I mean, I was confident in the music
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I did. Wasn't confident or I didn't know if the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: audience was gonna like it as much as I liked it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And Uh, when I was experimenting from like the Condolences record,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Neckar Phase, all those records I look back now in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: my career, those are the experimental records now, because I
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: did some different things with it, and those were ones
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I took some chances, and I wasn't sure if the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: audience would like them, but they did. But this is
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the one record where I feel pretty confident that they're
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: gonna like it. Like I know, it's I hit all
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the bases with what I was trying to go for
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and and I fulfilled myself on So.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I know I did that, and I just I feel
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: confident with the fans are gonna We're gonna love it.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: The press release tolds that I returned to his hard
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: rock roots. Would would you agree?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I think so?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, considering like I just explained, you know, from
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the two thousand in sixteen twenty seventeen era of the band,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: we were definitely playing heavier music and it was a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: lot of fun to experiment with that. But after COVID
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and everything, I had a little time to look back
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: on my career. I just twenty years of doing Wednesday thirteen,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and I just kind of looked at the whole career
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and went, well.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: What do you like best of all this?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I did all this shit too, I got it, you know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: my fans got their version of what they like the best,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and I went, well, what do I like this? And
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I started looking at all and I went well, where
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I started was the most honest and real place for me,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and that seemed natural, and I kind of went back
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to that look and I went back to that sound,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and it was easy to do without trying, so to speak,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and it just felt right. And it's more a hard
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: rock record than it is a metal record. But again,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it's not just like I tried to imitate my first
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: record or anything.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: It still is just it's in the same.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Spirit and I feel good about it like I did
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: on that first record. I feel like everything is going
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: affording to plan.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I'll go to agree with you, bro, because I reckon.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I'll probably listened to it four times since yesterday when
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I started writing these questions, and it's just it's just
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: something driving and solid about the whole album. But there's
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: a bit of electronics start on in their tree, but
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: they blend well together on this one. It's just a
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: really good up champo, good vibe album.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It's fun, it's fast.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It's like I explained today, it's like a it's like
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a good rollercoaster. Right, you get on it, it's super fast,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you go down the hill, it spits you.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Out and you go all right.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I want you got to get and you listen to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it four times and it's just it, and it feels
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: like a live record in a way, because the record
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: ends the way I would end the live show.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: It's not just your typical ending of a song. It's
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: just got uh.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And and there's even a side two to this record,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: so if you listen to it in the vinyl form,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you hear a side too. You hear it the way
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I wanted people to hear this record. I thought about it,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: like there is a side too that the side one
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: ends that everything is planned on this record, and I
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: carefully planned it, and I'm just I'm happy with it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And uh again, I think.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I think I knocked it out of the park on
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: this and without him it, without doing exactly what I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: did in the first album, I hit all the basis.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I think I touched on everything I've done in my
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: career and summed it up in this record, because, like
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you said, there's some there's some electronic kind of almost
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: sounding stuff like with Deceased and Desists, like almost kind
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of has that vibe to it, and then the rest
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of the record's kind of a hard rock record.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: When you get to zant.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Ecstasy it and that it's just, uh, it's everything I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: wanted to do in a record. That it's everything I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: think represents my sound over the last twenty years.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: And you released a single when the Devil Commands as
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the lead single. Made it it's a catchyest fucked omping trend.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I could almost see that on the radio. But well, boy,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: did you choose that song to represent the album?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't necessarily.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the first take everyone gets for the record,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: so I don't know if it was just I knew
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it was a good song. I knew it was catchy,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I knew I knew my fans would like it. But
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I also knew people that didn't know the band could
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: hear that and go, who is that? That's catchy as fuck?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: That's what is they thirteen? That's what they sound like.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: It just I think it appealed to a bigger audience,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and that's why I went with that as the first single,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: because I knew my fans are like it. But I knew,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I knew I was somebody else's favorite band. They just
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: didn't know it yet un till they heard it. And
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: so the first single was planned that way to get
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a audience maybe that wouldn't normally listen to me. Whereas
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the second single in Misery is I couldn't have planned
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it better for the fans, like it is silver platter
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: delivered when say, thirteen graveyards spookiness. It's great and I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: foe of my favorite videos and we've made and the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: song itself is just I'm just happy with it. So
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I'm doing everything the way I want it right now. Now.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there's more of the story than this might
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: But did I read correctly that somehow the thought of
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: scaring your mother came into the picture when you heard
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: the lyrics. So when the devil commands.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's a fun thing.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I love my mom, But I grew up
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: during the Satanic Panic of the eighties, when you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the parents were fearing that their kids were listening to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: demonic music. You played it backwards and I was, you know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I was part of that, and my mom was checking
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: my cassettes and making sure there was no you know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: demons on it, and uh, and I just thought it
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: would be funny if I could, you know, the idea
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of going back in time and planting a CD for
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: my mom to find, like if she could look to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: my motley crew and guns and roses and poison and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: then go what is this? And if she would have
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: opened it up, and like if you could have wrote
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the lyrics out for her where she would understand it
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: perfectly and just terrify her. And that's kind of what
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: those lyrics are. And then uh, I just kind of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: went with that. I thought that was a you know
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that because most bands back then they were being accused
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: of it. We're like, no, no, no, we're not. We're
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: not those kind of bands. We don't do that. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: thought would be funny to be like, yes we are
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: singing about that. Yes, we are trying to possess your children.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yes everything you heard is true. We are the devil.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And I just wanted to do that from so to me,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: it's a fun tongue in cheek song and uh, that's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: all I wanted to achieve with that and a mission
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to accomplish.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: You're right there to you know, bro. Like I remember
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: back when I was at school, I was living with
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: a friend. I was sort of downstairs and they had
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: the house upstairs, and I got kicked out because I
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: was playing Number of the Beast by I had Maiden
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: and they could hear it upstairs, and the doorter thought
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: she was being possessed by the music. And I got
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: kicked out the next day to listening to that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you realize then is how powerful music is.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And I realized I haven't looked.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah that that kind of that that panic created me.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Are always bro.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: You've got great song titles like running Away, they're sick
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: and violent, even the album title mid Death Prices. How
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: does your brain work, mate? Like, did those song titles
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: come easy to you? Or do you sort of have
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: to think about them and come up with something that call?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: The best ones are the easiest ones.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: If I put too much thought in it, it just
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: gets away from the whole point. It's meant to be
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: mindless and just off the cuff. I get all this
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: from the Adams family. It's all back in the day.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: They just always did themes like everything was that it
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: was a fun take on a word, you know, like
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: when you go or the old famous monster magazines. They
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: would have all the narration in the magazine. They would
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: use phrases like ooh next next month and this spooky
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: magazine right around the coroner is and I'm like, oh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: it's like they would take words and stretch it. So
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I just sort of became fixated on taking words and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I just that became a wordsmith with that kind of
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: morbid twisting words, and uh, that's just been sort of
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the thing that I think kind of makes me what
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I am Wednesday thirteen is taking words and just twisting
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: them around. Like our song Decease and Desist, is that
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: they go on cease and desists.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: So it's just, uh, it's always fun, and it always
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: starts with a simple, simple thought and that's usually what
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: keeps it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Like overthinking for me doesn't work.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Yeahine man, you know one of the few bands a
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: few artists might like when an album comes in and
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I'm going to listen to it, I actually look through
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: the song titles first, just to see what they are
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: because I know they're gonna be fucking.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Awesome, thank you.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: And then that's always been important to me too, like
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: when I go when I used to go look for records,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I'd be in the record store and I would look
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: at the cover and that was important. It's something that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you know, if you flipped it over and if the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: song titles were as cool as the album cover.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: You knew you were going to go home and hear
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: something amazing.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And I always put myself as the fan doing that
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: same thing. I want them to look at the cover
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and go whoa.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: And then just lose their mind in it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And that's what I and that's what I did here
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and again I've been successfully done it ten times now
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: with my Wednesday thirteen.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and even the album My Life. It's nice, I say,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: these monsters. It's it's an eerie passage filled with between
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: industrial nuances, and it sets the scene for the whole album,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: like it reminds me of a Vincent price pase. It's
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: just sort of sets them right up and it just
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: hits you on edge.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I think after it's all together and you see the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: imagery and you hear the intro and you listen to
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it the way I I painted the picture for it,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: it feels like for me when I was, you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: in the eighties, on the weekends, I would go to
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the video store and I would go in the weekend,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you'd pick four or five movies, or if it was
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the weekend, you'd get ten movies for the weekend. And
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that's like ten songs, ten movies you know, it's and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and you went in quick.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: You watch them as fast as you could.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: You wow, something you watched a couple of times or
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: if you could, and you took them back and it was.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: That was it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: You couldn't wait till next week and do it again.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And it's just like that's what I feel like this
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: record is. It's just it's it's fun like that. It
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: reminds me of of my youth, and I hope that
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: that people can find some kind of thing with this
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: in their time, you know, where they're go, oh man, this,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty years from now, they'll be like, this
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: record reminds me of that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's just it's, uh, it's important to.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Me to paint the whole the whole picture with everything, titles, videos, everything.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got to chime down from faster pushy Cat
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: providing vitals on the truck now. Apologies as far as
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I know, I hope I'm writing sand you see. You
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: don't know if and I gets out on you aba.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Not very often, And that's not because I don't.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I just when I make a record, most of the time,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I'm so involved in it. I don't have the luxury
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: or time to go. Oh, let's get this guy on
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: with this particular theme. Tamy has been a friend of
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: mine for years. We we recently toured in Australia and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: we were in the studio and I literally brought that
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: song in and we were recording it and I was
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: doing the guitars on it, and our producer Alex said,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: this has a Faster pussy Cat vibe to it to me,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, I can hear that. And we
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: played the song again and again, and the more we
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: kept we started calling it the Faster Pussycat song. And
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: then he said, you should get Tamy to sing on this,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, that'd be cool.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: And I just literally.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Texted him and asked him and he said I would
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: love to do it, and he was there in a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: couple of days and we tracked.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: It and and the rest is history. It was.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: It was a great experience for me and and and
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and being a big fan of Faster Pussycat as a kid.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: When I was eleven years old, I had their cassette.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And when I first when I got my first guitar,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't know how to play guitar, and someone gave
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: me a Faster Pussycat tablature book and showed me how
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to read tablisher and I learned their entire first album,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Nope for Nor, learned how to play lead guitar from
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: their album. And and here you flash forward to me
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and now he's singing on my record. So it's a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: it's an important thing. So it's not just having a
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: guest like my friend. This is like, this is important
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: as having Alice Cooper on my record, because I give Tamy,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I credit him for When I saw Faster pussy Cat,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: he was wearing hats like this, big glasses and he
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and and he dyed his hair black, and I was
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: just like, that was the look that I had. And
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: someone showed me a picture the other day at my
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: first band I was signing at the meetre yesterday and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: it's and I'm sixteen or seventeen in this photo, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I have the same look.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I'm like that was And.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: It started with me seeing Faster Pussycat seeing Tamy do
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: that look, because he went from the blonde haired guy
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and overnight he was the goth guy. And I was
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: just like, whoa, he went from positive to like negative
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: in that and I just liked that look, and I
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: copied it when I was in high school, and here
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I am forty eight years old, still.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Doing that's going to be a special vibent if you
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: recording the song with someone that's got that much meaning
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: No, it was it's really cool and and uh yeah,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: it's just a really really cool thing. And any fan
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: of Faster Pussycat that that's like their music over the years,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna love this song. It is like super charged,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: super Charge Faster pussy Cat.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: It's it's awesome.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Oh well, there's there's one now more quite. I found
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: interesting in the press release man and it said that
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: the album features music in Charlie written by Wednesday thirteen.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Does that mean you write all the the instruments and
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: the lyrics? So is it just do you normally not
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: write the whole thing yourself?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Well, the reason that I think that it's said that
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't explained like fully in detail. It wasn't
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: like I gotta do this by myself or anything. My
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: very first Wednesday thirteen record, when I did that on
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: my own, like I didn't really have a plan. Murder
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Dolls came to a halt. I went in my basement
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and I just started writing songs. And then I did
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a Wednesday thirteen tour in the UK, just playing my
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Franke sign drag and stuff, and it was packed and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of fans, and I went I
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: could maybe go solo, and I just did it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: It just wasn't it just started piecing it together. I
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: didn't have a band. I wrote the music, I did
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the recording.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I had a drummer come in do the drums, and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I played every instrument on that first album. I played bass,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I played lead, guitar, rhythm, guitar, vocals and everything on
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that record. I did it by myself, and I was
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: when I was done with it, so proud of it.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I look back on it twenty years later and like,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: that's that's the one I put on the top of
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the mountain. So when it came time to write this record,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: this was the first album I have done without my
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: longtime guitarist for mine, who's been in the band for
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: years and years, and I went, well, can I still
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: do this? I did it twenty years ago on my own,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Can I do it again? So I wanted to see
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to challenge myself, to see if I could write the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: poor of these songs, like I did, you know? And
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: then when I got together with the band, of course
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I did the arrangements. All right, well, here's the structure,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: here's the chorus, here's the verse, and then we worked
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the parts house.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: My band was very involved in the recording, but as
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: far as the.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Putting the song together, it was important for me to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: go back because I didn't have any help in the beginning,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and I wanted to see if I could still do it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: And I I think I did it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: You did it. That That makes a lot more sense
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: now because I'm reading to thinking what does it mean
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: he get it? In Charlie by himself? Does he normally
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: get gets right for him?
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: No, I think I don't know.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: It's just a short way. They shortened what I said.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, it's like, my band's very important,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a live thing. I think when you see the band,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: you see it live. It doesn't come off or it's
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: just oh, it's it's a band. I'm always liked that vibe.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I like all my favorite things are bands. Motley Prue
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: was his sister. Washed that was something I you know,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I may have looked at the front front guy because
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: that's what I wanted to be, but I liked it
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: as a band.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I like it to come off that way.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: But yeah, like I said, it was literally just me
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: trying to go back to what I did twenty years
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: ago and see if I could steal pull it off
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: by myself.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: No, you're fucking now the brother you fucking now to think,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: thank you, thank you well, I said. The big difference
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: by like, since we're spiking a futures now, but since
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I spoked to you last time to now, I've introduced
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: a section called fighter Bomb, where basically I'll try for
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: you social media before we talk and I'll come up
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: with the said I want to know a bit more
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: about So this one.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: First, okay, yeah, this is uh.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: This would be August two thousand and two, Murder Doll's
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: first trip to Japan and we were playing a thing
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: called Summer Sonic, and that my first trip in Japan
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and we played on the main stage. Guns of Roses
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: was the headliner, So it was literally my first time.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, we did a couple of club shows in
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: America and the first big show with Murder Dolls two
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: weeks into it was that festival. Now, I was so
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: excited because Hanoi Rocks was on it, and that was
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: their first show back as a band, and I wore
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: their T shirt till it fell off of me.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I wore it so much in high school.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: And to be able to be on a bill with
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: them or get to meet them, I was so excited,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and I was probably more excited to meet them and.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I was to play the show.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And I immediately ran over and struck up a conversation
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: with Michael Monroe, and I've been friends with him ever
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: since then, and Andy McCoy too.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: I've had so many stories.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I could keep you on the air for hours telling
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you of the experiences I've had with.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Hanoi From then I tour.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I did Hanoi Rock's Farewell tour in Japan in two
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: thousand and nine as Wednesday thirteen, and then I did
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Michael Monroe. He played with Winnesday thirteen in twenty eleven.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: So it's a big, a big history with him. He's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: such a huge influence on what on what I do.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I think he is by far one of the greatest
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: front men. Uh oh, and he's still is. He puts
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: me to shame.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I only hope one day to get as good as him.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I learned from that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Guy asking sign and now that this next one it
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: might just look like a statue to my st faith
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: that there's a hell of a story on Mike, can
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: you run a through?
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: That was Murder Doll's first big award. That was for
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Metal Hammer Magazine UK. We won Best Newcomer of the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Year and that was the first time winning an award
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and walking up to a podium to give a speech.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And I think I only think I talked. I think
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Joey did all the talking. And uh. And after the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: after we received that award.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: We we we only got one of the awards, so
• 18:56

  Speaker 1: We knew that wasn't going to happen and I will
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: be all right, Well Joey would get the award, but
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: we thought and then we ended up giving that award
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to our publicist, Michelle, who.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Broke the band in the UK.
• 19:08
