  Speaker 10: jig that we're doing here, so bear with me.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I might fall out of here, but thank you for.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Having Just make sure you're always tuned to AM right,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: not not FM right, That's what I figured, all right,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: just want to make sure we're all we're all clear. Well,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: so basically the way we want to structure this was
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: we just wanted to go through our top three furnace
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: vest moments from this year, and so pretty simple. We'll
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: just I think one by one, we'll just say a
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: moment that we just really loved about furnesce Fest, maybe
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: give a little commentary on it, h and eventually we'll
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: get through it and then we'll be done. Pretty pretty simple. Solon,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: is there an order in which we want to do this?
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: I think we should go in order of whoever's on
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: your screen first, and we just go quack.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Wa okay, okay, all right. Well I didn't want to
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: take the spotlight right away as the co host of
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the Black shap podcast, I guess, well, well, my well,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: you know, I feel like I'm gonna steal probably the
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: most common uh furnace Fest moment. And it is fine, Like,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: if you want to reiterate a moment, if somebody has
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: already mentioned a moment that uh that you know has
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: already been mentioned, you want to say it again, that's
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: totally fine. But I'm guessing this will probably be one
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: and that is the almighty Norman je Uh. You know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I can't really pick one part of this set, but
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: maybe there's two things I want to mention about that set. Obviously,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: they were one of the bands that kind of closed
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: out the main stage of the festival. They were I think,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you know, it was like Norman Jean then Blindsided and Undros,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: so they were kind of one of the last bands
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to ever play Furness Fest. First off, it was probably
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the most dangerous show I've ever been to. Uh. It
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: just felt like I was up there with culin, like
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: pretty close to both the pit and right up front,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and I'm pretty sure like I started on like the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: right side of the stage and somehow by the end
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: of the show moved to the left handed side of
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the stage without even trying. Uh, And there were so
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: many moments where I felt like I was about to
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: fall over, where I was about to get like my
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: head smacked off, like it just it felt very, very dangerous.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: And I've been to a lot of Norman Jean shows,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: but this one definitely felt like the most dangerous one
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I've ever been to. So hats off for Norman Gen
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: for that. And then obviously Elephant in the Room Skaggin
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: coming in, which I think most of us were probably
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: expecting him to join, especially after we all saw that
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: sixty eight was announced with Furnace fst. You know, I
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: thought like we probably were going to expect that for
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the last Furnace Fest. What I wasn't expecting were like
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Scottie and Dirr and I'm forgetting the other guy's name now,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I like to get like some of these
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: other guitarist from Norma Jean to join on stage to
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: play Memphis was such a cool moment and the fact
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: that like so many people were on stage at the end,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: including myself. It was just like such a really incredible
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: moment and I think really highlights like just what made
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: for what made Furnace Fest really special as a festival.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: So my top moment for sure, I've got to mention
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Norman Geen. I want to steal that right away and
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: let you all copy me after that. So that's my
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: probably my top moment of Furnace Fest.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Does anyone Does anyone have some agreement there? I would
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I would say I was easily within my top top
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: three moments as well.
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that was on everybody who attended. Top
• 6:53
  Speaker 10: ten for sure.
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: It was yeah, like as a as A, as A,
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: as a Georgian who saw Norma Gene back when they
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: were ludicrous. As I mentioned the last time I was
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: on Black Sheep, Like, yeah, that was you know, twenty
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: five years in the making. That moment of seeing the
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: entire norma gene cinematic universe on stage all at once,
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: and like the the amount of drama that they built
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: into that moment right in the middle of Memphis, like
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: right before the biggest, the biggest hit that they just
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: drew it out. It just made everyone wait and wait
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: and wait. Then you see the bo Taig coming on stage.
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: That was like, yeah, absolutely, I half.
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: Expected Aaron Weiss to like descend down from like yeah,
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: like the rafters of the main stage.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: It was that iconic, an epic.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: Did anyone act.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: That was probably the only thing that could have made
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: it all the better?
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Did anyone actually count how long they held that one
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: that time? Yeah, between the verse and the breakdown, it
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: had to be.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: It had to have been like a couple of minutes.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: It felt like it was at least two minutes.
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: I've seen that moment go like viral on like music Internet,
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: like you know, not even people who were there, So yeah,
• 8:05
  Speaker 9: like there's lots and lots of video out there, so
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: we could get an official timent.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I filmed the I filmed that entire song, and that
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: song is probably normally like four minutes and the entirety of.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: My video is like nine minutes, so I think like there's.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: A good chance that they held that one part out
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: for three minutes, Like it kind of felt like an eternity,
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: But that was awesome. It was worth It was like
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: I got chills. I wasn't like super close, and I
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: didn't try to get on stage or anything, but that
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: was one of those moments like, yeah, just being a
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: kid when those those when that album came out, to
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: see all that kind of come into place, and I
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: was thinking, like, how cool is it for Scotti and
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Duran like all those guys to be able to like
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: participate in the longevity of that band and the legacy
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: of that band.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: That that was cool.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I'd heard rumors that Aaron Weiss was there, so I
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: was kind of like ready for it, and that I.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: Was fucked that it didn't happen, because I would like
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: the I.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Feel like the rumors were flying everywhere about all of
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: that stuff.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I do think. You know, obviously, over
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: the number of years Skogin has you know, when he
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: happens to be in town or you know, near where
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Norma Jeane is playing, you know, he'll make an appearance
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: it's pretty rare at this point, but this does feel
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: like maybe one of the last times we see that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: It probably isn't the last time, but it would be
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: maybe in the last like handful of times that we'll
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: ever see Skogin do that part of that song ever again. Yeah,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: I think so, I think so. Yeah. So all right,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: well calling you're next on my screen.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: So taking all you know, my my all time favorite
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: part about Furness Fest. And I say this every year,
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: but it's the people that you get to hang out
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: with that you don't get to see. Austin, I got
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: to give you a hug. Actually I got to give
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: I think I got to give all of you a
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: hug except for except for Jason siren Man. But you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: it was it was such a a beautiful weekend, and uh,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: I actually found myself wanting to like maybe miss a
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: show or a part of a show so that I
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: could just go see people that I've you know, had
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: the pleasure to interact with for so long, not in person. Uh,
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: It's just it just feels it just it feels my heart,
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: you know, And I'm sure you guys all feel the
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: same way that you know, this is a this is
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: a tight knit community, and this is not the kind
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: of thing that you're going to get to see. And
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Mason and I were looking through festivals and stuff like
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: that coming up and and for next year potentially, and
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: there's just there's nothing that's going to compare to this,
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: you know, And there's not gonna be an opportunity where
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: all these same people are going to be in the
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: same place. So the people are incredible, and uh and
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: I love all y'all.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: The beautiful people. The beautiful people, that's right.
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, they definitely the hanging out with friends you haven't
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: seen in forever was you know. I think also probably
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: on all of our list of you know, memorable moment
• 11:04
  Speaker 10: moments and cool things about Furnace Fest.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would imagine, especially like you know, you know, Adam,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: you've been in Hoopes Fall for a long time, and
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I would imagine for bands that have been around for
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: twenty five, thirty twenty years, you know, however long, but
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: you know, have been around for a while, to like
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: see people maybe you haven't seen for like twenty years,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: it's probably such a cool moment, you know. Obviously that's
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: not like Colin and I's experience exactly a furnace fest
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: because we're just like, you know, we're not like lifelong
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: music veterans, but but it probably is super cool for
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: you all to like just like see people for the
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: first time, you know, like Colin and I hung out
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: with Leonora from five Iron for a lot of the
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: fast and like it was super cool to just hear
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: her talk about like some of the people that you know,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: like she used to tour when she was like twenty
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: years old with and like to still see them today,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: like twenty five years later, it's you know this see
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: her kind of light up talking about like, oh my gosh,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: like that was somebody who you know, was just like
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: so young at the time, and then now they're like,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: you know this like older that's you know, got kids
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: and might be having green kids soon. It's just it's
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: just cool. That's got to be a point.
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, right, I mean I definitely like think that there
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: is this for me. I never got to go to Cornerstone,
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: and like, growing up in the like late nineties early
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: two thousands, Cornerstone Fest was like every year that Cornerstone
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: would happen.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I was like this big fomo.
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: Obviously, there was like no social media or like Internet
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: like there is today, so like I like, in my mind,
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: Cornerstone Festival is like similar to the Pearly Gates Like
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: it's like this like perfect place in Illinois where like
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: all my favorite music happens. And so I think Burnasfest
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: in many ways like embodies like what my you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old self thought that Cornerston
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: Fest in Illinois was like and that I never got
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: to experience.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's such a good point. And May and I
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: mean our friendship started really behind all this kind of stuff.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: We would get on YouTube and watch two forty p
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Cornerstone videos and we're just watched for hours and hours
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: and hours, just wishing that we were there, right, and
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: this felt like that, you know.
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's yeah, like has anybody been to Cornerstone other
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: than me?
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: I went to a Cornerstone Yeah, Okay, how was it? Yeah?
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: I mean the last one was what two thousand and
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: two or something like that, Like it didn't go much
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: farther now really.
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: No, it went like that late, but not not in Peoria, Illin,
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: not the original site, right, Yeah, yeah, like I went,
• 13:48
  Speaker 10: we played in ninety nine and two thousand maybe two
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: thousand and one. I can't remember, but yeah, it's definitely
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: has a Cornerstone feel in a vibe, except the only
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: difference is you're not camping out on site. But it's yeah,
• 14:03
  Speaker 10: still kind of like it's almost like.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: A smaller, more.
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: Relevant version of Cornerstone now. But yeah, I think you
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: guys would have loved Cornerstone back in the day, for sure.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Love it all right, Austin, you're next.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm over too, because you guys have taken both
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: of my top topics. But I'll expand on the Memphis
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Will Be Laid Waste one because one of my moments
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: was just all the bands playing, every band playing like
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: their one big song every time they played it. It
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: was so rowdy, and I don't know if it was
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: more rowdy this year with security, I don't know if
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: it was different. It just seemed like Comeback Kid, Wake
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: the Dead, Better Lovers, thirty Over thirteen, Evergreen Terrorists doing
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: No Donnie and then Cheney back to back Norma Jean.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: It just seemed like every time that they did like
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: the big song, there was a blob of people on stage.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: No innocent victim with their breakdown at the end of
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: their set, it just seemed like every single time that
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: that happened, people were ready to just jump on stage
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: and mosh and CrowdSurf and whatever was happening. And I
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: just felt like getting to see those hits being played
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: by some of my favorite bands of all time was like, Okay,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: this is like an inside out, like core memory that
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: I'm just filing away that, Like.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: I got to see No Innocent Victim do.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: I would die tonight for my beliefs with a crowd
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: of people on top of them. You got to see
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: No Donnie, which I hadn't seen Evergreen Terrorists play in
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: probably twenty years, because there's some bands that I just
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: haven't for some reason seen and forever. And the last
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: time I saw Comeback Kid was at Face Down Fest
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: two thousand and four, so it's properly been twenty years
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: since I've seen Comeback Kid, and so it's to play
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: some of their old songs again. It was cool that
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: I just hadn't heard in a while. So and then
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Greg bringing out his flamethrower and then now like you
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: were there in person and you see the photos in
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: the videos like that the media team captured from that,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: and I come home and I show like my wife
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: the Greg blowing his fire and she's like, that's that
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: shouldn't feel lot, that's very dangerous, and you're like, yeah,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: I know it, like it's dangerous, but also it's like perfect, you.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Know it's getting which was great.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: Because keep going.
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: Yeah he did that in the original Furnace Fest run
• 16:39
  Speaker 10: with Dyllinger.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Oh really, so it was kind of almost like.
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: A you know, an homage to himself. Yeah somewhat. Yeah,
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: that's super cool.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Love it Eric, your next summer list. Uh.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: For me, I think it's that shy halued and known
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: something Victim reminding me that I still love hardcore, Like
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: I keep thinking I'm going to outgrow it, and but no,
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: as long as bands like that are still playing. Shilah
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: just had an incredible energy, same with No Innocent Victim.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: Just fun shows.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: You're never too old for our Hardcore's right.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying I'm too old for it, but I
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: keep thinking that I might outgrow it or feeling like
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: I should have outgrown it or something. But that's just
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: not gonna happen. And every time I see a great
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: band like that, it reminds me of that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: It does like going to a festival like this, you know,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: seeing like under Oath for example, for me, you know,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: under Oath was like my favorite band. Like I wanted
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: to be Aaron Glasspie when I was eleven or twelve
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: years old, Like I tried to grow up my hair
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: like him, Like I wanted to be like Aaron Glasspie
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: and to like see under Oath on stage closing out
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: furness fast. And here it is, like eighteen years later
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: from when I was like a twelve year old wanting
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: to be Aaron Gillespie. It like it's like, oh my god,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Like I was twelve years old and I and I
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: didn't know it at the time when I was twelve,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: but like these were like some of the most formative
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: things in my life. And here I am, like eighteen
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: years later, still being really foremed by something like under Oath.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: It's just really cool that, like, you know, when I
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: was twelve years old, I wasn't you know, aware that
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: that would be the case. But you know, now eighteen
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: years later, I probably is still going to be like
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: going to under Oath shows and loving under Oaths, Right,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: It's just really cool that like at twelve years old,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I was finding something that was going to change my life.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like I don't know if I don't know
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: if y'all or anything like me where people you know,
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: would say, you know, that's just a phase, it will
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: grow out. I was just going to say and stuff,
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: and you almost start to believe that. But as long
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: as there's you know, things like like furnished Fist and
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: you know, a lot of the hardcore bands I'll like
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: don't put out much music anymore, but on the rare
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: occasion they do, talking about you know, like life in
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: your way and uh, bands like that. But when when
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: they do, it's nice to have that reminder that this
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: is part of my DNA and it's not going anywhere
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: for sure.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: No.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: I remember I remember people that were older than me
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: in positions of power constantly saying, oh, you're you're gonna
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: grow out of that, You're not gonna like that forever,
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: and and uh I was like, oh really, because I
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: mean they were right about everything else supposedly, and uh, yeah,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: I haven't grown out of it. So maybe I'm just
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: sick in the head. Who knows, Maybe we're all.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: That's always real.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: That's a real possible, very very much so is possible.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, love it. That's a that's a great pick, great great,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: great pick. Great moment. Uh Courtland, Let's let's hear it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, So so I a lot a lot of
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: great moments. It's hard to decide exactly. I was trying
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: to look up some information on the world WADB while
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: while I was listening to everyone else talk, and I
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: did end up finding what I was looking for here
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: if I can pull it up on my phone. But
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: like for me, Emory and the Shed was a top
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: tier moment. Emory is a band that, like I was,
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: I was trying to find. I saw them in two
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: thousand and five on the Week's End tour at the
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: Granada Theater in Lawrence, Kansas eighteen Visions because I was like,
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: who was I didn't know any other band. I just
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: knew Emory was eighteen Visions, remembering never Emory and Misery
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: Signals was the headliner wow at Granada Theater and I
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: didn't know any of those other bands. But I remember
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: watching this like promo video that Tooth and Nail had
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: put out or you know, they'd put on their website,
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: and like you know, Joba Player or whatever, and Toby
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: I think was wearing like a headband and there was
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: people stage diving, and like my fourteen year old ass
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: was just like, this is gonna be the best thing
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: that has ever happened in my whole life. Like I
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: just remember the anticipation of, like I grew up in
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: in Kansas City driving to Lawrence to go to this
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: this concert, and it was like really the first show
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: that had like a pit and stage diving and you know,
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: crowdsurfing and that sort of thing up unto that point,
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: like most of the shows I had been to were
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: five Iron Frenzy, a lot of skanking, a lot of
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: you know, a lot of movement, but you know, nothing
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: that extreme, and so it was kind of interesting like
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: to like be in the shed and Toby coming out
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: and be like, we're the heaviest motherfuckers here. What do
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: you know whatever he said, you know, which was funny,
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: you know, because they're not the heaviest band. But I
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: remember thinking back to that like fourteen year old me
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: of like I'm going to go to this really heavy
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: show and then seeing these other bands that played with
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: them at that at that show to put out of theater.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: I don't know, it was just like a very full
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: circle moment thinking I was fourteen February twentieth at that
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: show thirty four, you know, almost exactly twenty years later.
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: It's it was a really special moment. That was the
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: only thing that I got like into the mess on
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: was when they played Walls. I was like, I gotta
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: lose my shit for that. Other than that, I really
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: hung back. I sat on the wall in the shed,
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: I sat in the back. I didn't get into any
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: other mess because I'm too old to do that. But
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: Emory was the top tier moment for me for sure.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I kept hearing about how they were maybe one of
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: the best sounding bands of the weekend. I didn't actually
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: watch Emory at all. I literally just saw them a
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: few months ago, and they've been pretty consistent about touring,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: so like, I didn't feel like I was gonna miss
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: much off. You know, I didn't see them, and you know,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I love Emory as well, so a little like a
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: little disappointed I didn't get to see them. But they're
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: some other conflicts scheduling conflicts where I just couldn't see him.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I heard that they were one of the
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: best sounding bands of the weekend.
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: My John, which.
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: Day did they play?
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Sorry?
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: Sorry, go for it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: I was asking which day did they play on Friday?
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: First Friday, And that's that's good that they had a
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: good sound, because Friday's Shed sound was I thought horrible
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: for most of the day, especially for coalesce at night.
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: So I guess Emory probably brought their own sound.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: I think everyone brought their own sound guy almost right
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: as far as I know. But the shed is very unforgiving.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: It's very hard to sound good in there, right.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: So two things.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: One, my Johnny guitarist and undertaking, said that he's like
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: number one Emery Van loves him so much. He says
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: the best performance he's ever seen by them, which is
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: like as like a lie, like lifelong fan of a
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: band to be able to catch like their best performance
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: for him was such a cool moment on the shed. Note,
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I guess a bunch of those bands that played on
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: Friday brought their own sound guy.
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: And I don't know gray hair guy from Emery.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just sho Keys was helping.
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he was helping run sound on the main stage.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: So I have a feeling that he might have been
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: able to like dial in their sound a little bit
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: better or help because the word on the street was
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: like if they used like the in house mixer for
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: the shed, you sounded better than if you brought your
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: own guy in because the in house people that were
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: there with furness Fest.
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: Knew how that room reacted and should sound.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: And I know that they had a bunch of issues
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: on Friday, and then I think after Friday they kind
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: of just said, hey, if you're if you brought your
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: own sound guy, like just do us a favor and
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: let us mix your set, because it was it was not.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: That makes sense, and it wasn't just the shed, but
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: all the stages really did struggle with sound. I I
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: can't tell you how many times I was in you know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: up near the front, and I know every single song
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: by by word, but I just couldn't tell where we
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: were at in the song, so I wasn't singing.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Lot on Earth was the one on Earth was the
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: one for me. It was like all bass and drum
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: and like that's the band that you want, like the
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: sweeping solos and stuff, and you're like, oh, this isn't great.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: And I actually walked out around and outside the shed
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: like it sounded. You're like, oh, I know what song
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: that is? But anyways, just to put a pin on.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: I know that they were aware of the sound issues
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: on Friday and they tried to fix it.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seemed to have done a little bit.
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, And I would say, like to Mason's point about
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: missing Emory, there was a ton of sets that I
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: missed as well this year, like and and I thought
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: one of the things about being year three was or
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: year four. Sorry it was year three for me, year
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: four for everybody else. But like I had seen a
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: lot of the bands, and so I did feel like
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: I could like kind of like duck away and hang out,
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: spend some time with people, and it wasn't like, oh man,
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: this is the only time I'm going to get to
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: see Black Inside or whatever, right, Like I kind of
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: gotten experiences and I loved that, Like I loved it
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: that there wasn't a ton of pressure to be at
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: every set because it was like this, like it felt
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: like it was kind of planned that way, Like Furistas
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: four was like gave us all space to like kind
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: of chill out and like you know, just spend time.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Sure mm hmm, yeah, all right, Jason, let's hear it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: So, uh, this one was really really special for me,
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: for you know, for a lot of reasons. I had
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: a handful of like, uh like uniquely personal moments in
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: this one, like you know, in addition to hanging with
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: y'all and seeing the bands. And there's definitely still at
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: least one band I want to talk about, but I
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: don't know if any of y'all were their Thursday. But
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: the first event on Thursday was actually my podcast got
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: to do a live show at the same venue where
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: Zeo Callous dow Boys Further Scene Forever Counterparts played later
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: in that day. So yes, I will say until the
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: day I die that I opened for.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: My favorite good Call.
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: Count It and that was a lot of fun. We
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: had like people, we had a quote unquote circle pit.
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: We had people just walking around while singing country roads.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: That's a circle pit. So that was awesome. And on
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: let's see the day, the day Five Iron Frenzy played
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: Five Iron Frenzy would be one of my top five
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: experiences at the show, I walked up to their table
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: and my wife was talking to Leonor about my novel,
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: which not to turn this into a plug, but it
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: happens to have like seventy references to One Girl Army
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: by five Iron Frenzy because because it's a character's ao
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: at instant messenger handle. My wife is telling her this
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: and I'm like, okay, well, hey, let me just give
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: you a copy. And she's like, okay, let me trade
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: you a shirt. So I have a One Girl Army
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: shirt that Five Iron Frenzy gave me in exchange for
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: my novel. Then they played One Girl Army.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: That was awesome.
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: They also played Every New Day and I was damn
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: near after they like forty minutes of just jokes and
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: shenanigans and nonsense. I think I was standing like ten
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: feet behind y'all and Mason and like they play every
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: New Day and it's just on a dime. It turns
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: into the most sincere worship moment I have been a
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: part of since I left church twenty years ago. And
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: also Garrett from Silent Planet. I walked up and showed
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: him like, hey man, on the last page of my
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: book there's a super Bloom reference and he's like, oh awesome,
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: give me a hug. So like and then they rock.
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: They were great. So like just having those personal moments
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: in addition, like my homie Justin Ferguson, he was there
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: the whole time. That was great, like all of his
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: favorite bands. My wife was there the whole time. But yeah,
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: like just the sense of we've been coming to this
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: thing since one to oh two, so like this is
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: very much lifelong for full circle stuff. And like walking
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: out after Under Oath show, when like everyone was buzzing
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: and like you're seeing people crying and stuff, there was
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: a sense of like I would not know how much
• 28:53
  Speaker 9: I missed this if they hadn't brought it back for
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: these last three or four years, Like if we hadn't
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: gotten this second chances, it would have never really sank
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: in how much the first round meant. So, yeah, it
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: was it was more than just music, and I'm you know,
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: I'm just really I'm just really grateful love that.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm hoping that like something like Furnace Fast reinvigorates
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: for a lot of people that you know, music isn't
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: something that we can especially this kind of music isn't
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: something that we can just take for granted, right, Like
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: a lot of these bands started off, even like the
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: ones that got big, like under Oath, they all started
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: out really small. And for the most part, most of
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: these bands that are playing Furnace Fasts are small bands
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: and they totally rely on us showing up to their
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: shows and supporting them, buying their merch, and so I
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: hope that like something like this reinvigorates that like energy
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: for people to like just show up like they did
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: when they were youth group kids or whatever and and
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: buy their merch and and just be there. And that
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: is what the whole reason why a band like under
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Oath can become under Oath, and so yeah, I'm hoping
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: that that, like just these last four years reinvigorates that
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: for people you know, moving into you know, back to
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: kind of going home and then now knowing bands are
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: going to be you know coming through a sitting near
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: them or whatever, that like it's so important to just
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: show up and support their their local bands and also
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: the bands that they love that are coming through their town. Yeah, definitely,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: all right, last one for this first kind of round
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: of moments, Adam, let's hear it.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the slick Shoes set.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: That was.
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: Like one of the well, you know, I grew up
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: a tooth and nail kid, so like my only punk
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: bands were like MxPx and Gody Hook and Value Pack,
• 30:43
  Speaker 10: you know, back in the late nineties, and then I
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: remember getting their EP and like ninety six or ninety
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: seven something like that, and it just blowing me away.
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: And I only saw them once and and that was
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: back when Rusty came out their first full length, which
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: was probably ninety seven I think, And to just be
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: able to see them again and just watch them kill it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: And I'd you know, become friends with Joe the drummer
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: on Instagram, so it was nice to meet him and
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: and talk to him for a bit. But and that
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: dude's fifty and just still playing FASTI shit, It's like
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: just just just an incredible band still, and I just
• 31:28
  Speaker 10: I love that they're still doing it. They're still putting
• 31:30
  Speaker 10: out music and they got a new one on the way.
• 31:33
  Speaker 10: So yeah, I was just really really stoked when I
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: saw the lineup come out that they were on it.
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: So I was looking forward to that the whole time.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Love it that those like some of those old punk bands.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: It's just like, you know, Dogwood being kind of another one,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: like they just they're still doing it. It's so cool
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: to just see bands like that that you know, they've
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: been around for what like since the at least the
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: mid nineties, likes like Shoes Dogwood and they're just they're
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: still tight as shit. They're just so.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Also, those were two bands that were extremely good sounding.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: I mean they sounded crystal clear on that on that
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: that fountain stage.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good pick, good pick. All right back
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: to me, uh and we'll do our second moment. So
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: this moment, I guess maybe is like less of a
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: moment and more of just an observation about not just
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: this year's Furnace Fast, but over the last four years.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: And I don't know how Furnace Fast compares with this
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: in terms of other festivals, but the amount of kids
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: that are at Furnace Fast like gives me a lot
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: of hope.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: I saw kids stage diving and maching at Blindside and
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: Norma Jean and you know all these other bands, and like,
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: I mean there's like not just like thirteen, fourteen, fifteen
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: year old kind of high school age kids, but also
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: like young kids that are like elementary school and then
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: just like going for it. And I just loved that,
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: like this was a community of people that it didn't
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: matter whether you were in your fifties or if you
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: were five years old, didn't matter, like you were still
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: going to be just as much concluded in this music
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: as everyone And so I just really loved that about
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Furnace Fest. And you know, I was like even thinking, like,
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: you know, like the five year old kid that's stage
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: diving for the first time, like I remember, Collin, was
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: it maybe Idle Threat. There was that kid that was
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: maybe like ten years old right next to us, and
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: you were like trying to like, hey, you should, like
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: you should go up there and jump, and he eventually
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: was like, I think I can do it. And then
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: he like goes up there and he like does like
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: a little kind of backstage dive thing, and it was
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: like that kid, now he's ten years old, that kid
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: might be an Idle Threat fan for the rest of
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: his life, right all because of that moment, And I
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: just like think about how many other moments of that
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: for all these other kids that were there, just really
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: really cool. So anyway, that like to me, was not
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: just like a special moment of this year's Furnace Fest,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: but that's something that's been pretty consistent over the last
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: four years. And so that's just something I really appreciate
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: about for as fast as how everybody seems to be
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: really included, especially when it comes to regard like especially
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: when it comes to.
• 34:08
  Speaker 9: Mason. I said several times, like during the weekend, the
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: crowd is just noticeably young compared to previous years, like
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: compared to the year before, which is probably you know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 9: if your headliner isn't Pennywise, the crowd probably looks a
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: little bit younger the next year. But yeah, it was
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: just in like demographics of this particular call aside, it
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: was a very feminine crowd relative the previous years. So like, yeah,
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: I think it's completely valid that those things add to
• 34:36
  Speaker 9: the sense that this won't necessarily be the last of
• 34:39
  Speaker 9: them like this.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you're probably right. It's gonna live on
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: now all right, back to you call us back to
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: me already, were right. I'm gonna have to go with
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Blindside here. The Blindside set. Everyone knows if you listen
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: to the podcast. I evangelize Blindside all the time because
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: I think that they're perfect in every single way.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: It was an emotional set for me. Some of those songs, man,
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: they they they hit the absolute core of me, the
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: emotional core, the spiritual core, the the mental core of me.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: Every single aspect of me is like wrapped up into
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: those songs, and not just the album about a burning fire,
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: but everything from their from their catalog, and from everything
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: from being able to get some vinyl that I never
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: in a million years would have thought that I would
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: be able to have h to, you know. Seeing the
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: love that was poured out on that stage was was
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: just it was transcendent to me. And I also loved.
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: Did you get both the records that they had the Purse?
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, good job.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would not miss that for the world, and
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: and a thought crush my mind is honestly, it's probably
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: my second favorite blind Side album. So the fact that
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: that came out, I, like I said, I cannot believe it.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: To this point.
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: My favorite thing about was realizing the crowd sings along
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: in his accent. The crowd sings along, they say pitiful, beautiful.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The thing that I loved about that Blindside set
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: so much is like, there seems to be a very
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: good chance that we will never see Blindside ever again
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: in the States, And so that was like a moment
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: for me where I was like, I need to soak
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: in every single moment of this set because it's very
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: very likely that no one at least in the States
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: will ever see that band ever again. And so that
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: was like, I think special for a lot of us,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: because I think a lot of us, whether we were
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: conscious of that fact or not, I think a lot
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: of us kind of were operating. If that was probably
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: that's probably going to be the case. Any other thoughts
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: around Blindside.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: I was a little bomby Blue his voice, to be honest.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: But I think he blew it way sooner last two
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: years ago.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Really okay, I think in a long long time.
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: So I was like, okay, can he still do it?
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: And for him to have kind of blown it by
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: talking to people like he said in the I was
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: a little bit bumped, But that's like pick and knits
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: because they crushed and everybody was singing along.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: But and his blown voice is still like better than
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: so many other people's voices.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: No, he I get that.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: I forget what order we were in, but I think
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: we're going in. Oh no, sorry, yeah you're it was
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: me last time. Yeah it's you, it's you.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: Well, mine's more of an emotional just feeling that there's
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: so much joy and that's like insanely cliche, but it
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: just even having these conversations with you guys, Like everybody's
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: so happy talking about the joy that seeing a band
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: that they saw when their kids come back or whatever.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: I think this weekend gave everybody this just emotional feeling
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: of joyfulness. And I think that that's something in our culture,
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: whatever you want to go, Like, I feel like so
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: much negativity out there that that's important for us to
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: kind of hold on to. And I saw it from
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Josh Kemble and Dogwood, like he was so happy to
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: be up on stage and doing his thing, the Beautiful Mistake.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: We you know, we're friends with They're both from San Diego,
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: so we're friends with those guys, and Josh and the
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: entire band, like they were so happy to be able
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: to go out there and play.
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: And that list is so long.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Even in the Facebook Furness Best Community group, like so
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: many people just expressing expressing pure joy about what we
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: are all able to witness and the feeling that we
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: all got to have of seeing these bands, seeing our friends,
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: seeing people experiencing all of this, and for for some
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: people to be able to go home and say, you
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: know what, it's not too late to start a band.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: For some people to go home and realize you know what.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: It wasn't a phase. This is who I am. And
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: that kind of stuff I think is so important, especially
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: when you're working and you have just a lot of
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: stuff going on to kind of pause and remember some
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: of that stuff. And so that that's just a good
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: one for me, is that there was so much joy
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: in Birmingham this past weekend and then we kind of
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: all disappear and go throughout our lives and hopefully we
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: spread some of that joy into different areas of our
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: lives and stuff.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: I love that you mentioned like joy, and I want
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: to just maybe reiterate, like how much do I see
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: from so many bands?
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Like I understand for a lot of bands, especially bands
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: that are like still constantly constantly touring today like you're
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: just going to another festival might kind of be a
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: dreg for them. It's just like it's another day, you know,
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: another day after perform and everything. But to see bands
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: like you mentioned Dogwood or Beautiful Mistake and just seeing
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: like their joy and you know they're around the entire weekend,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: They're like I want to soak in every single moment
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: as well, Like I still remember I think Matt from
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Norma Jean their drummer even posted on like the Facebook
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: group afterwards after their show and was just so full
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: of grad atitude about like just being there this weekend
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: and like how grateful he was for the kind of
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: show that they had, you know, just to see the
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: bands themselves, like not just kind of get sucked into like, oh,
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: this is just another day at my job kind of thing,
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: but to actually just like fully experience this moment and
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: be joyful about it. Like that's really cool for me
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: as a fan to like see the bands themselves also
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: really be into the festival.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: I always like to look over to the side of
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: the stage and see who from other bands is watch
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: and that's a.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: The chances are if you saw Austin watching, he was
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: probably gonna have a little cameo.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: It's right, I don't see.
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: Oh two, my.
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: Friends asked me to sing in the shed. I'm going
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: to take advantage of that opportunity. Okay, oh yeah, never
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: happen again.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: Fair enough, fair and shoved my face so hard during
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: I don't think I was not expecting it at all.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I loved when you were singled out there. Eric,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Let's go to you.
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: My number two is he is legend playing I Am
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: Hollywood in full on Friday. I think it was as
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: y'all said, there were some sound problems Friday, and I
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: think there was some with theirs too, but it wasn't
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: It wasn't distracting from the performance like unfortunately it was
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: for some of them. But that album just like blew
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: me Away the first time I heard it, so experimental
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: and heavy and melodic and just all the things that
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: I was looking for in music at that time. And
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: I thought it was pretty cool that like they snuck
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: in like a little mini cover of like a Prayer
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: by Madonna and Fancy by Reba McIntyre. I know they
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: subbed out their blind Melon lyrics for one of those.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: That was.
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: That was pretty exciting for me and fun to send
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: to my coworkers who may not listen to the kind
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: of music but do know Madonna and Reba McIntyre.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, speacause He is Legend by the way, I like
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Collin and I were up front for that show, and
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: it was it was so good. It was far more like,
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: by far, the most like raucous He Is Legend show
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: I've ever been to. It was so good, But also
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: I got to see like Skyler walking around the rest
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: of the festival. I think, like, I think he was
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: there for pretty much the other days, and I certainly
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: like I remember when I was at five Art in Frenzy,
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Like I saw him in the back and I'm like,
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: Skyler krum is a five Ar and Frenzy fan. Like
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: I was just like, wow, that's cool. So anyway, it
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: was just like cool to see Skyler, you know, just
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: like really enjoying the moment as well. I think five Sorry,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: I think he is legend is one of the more
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: underrated bands from this scene. They just don't get as
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: much love as I think they deserve. And so yeah,
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: for to see like basically the shed just like totally
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: packed and people just going all out for that show,
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: it was really really cool. Yeah, I agree, all right,
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: I think Courtland is next.
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm just gonna echo like, you know, like what
• 43:08
  Speaker 8: a lot of people have said. I mean five Iron
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: was like my number two, like you know, set of
• 43:15
  Speaker 8: the weekend, and I didn't get to have my kid
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: with me at Furnacefest, but I took my kiddo who's
• 43:24
  Speaker 8: almost thirteen, to a Five Iron show in Denver several
• 43:28
  Speaker 8: months ago, and like getting to experience that with him
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: and like getting to see you know you mentioned like
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: you know these other bands, like people from other bands,
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: like watching Five Iron. It really it really did like
• 43:45
  Speaker 8: make me think about like the way I saw Five Iron.
• 43:49
  Speaker 8: They were like one of the first bands I saw.
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: In like two thousand and two thousand and one, there
• 43:54
  Speaker 8: was a little venue in Kansas City called Newarth Cafe.
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: Shout out to Denise, this little like five foot and nothing,
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: super charismatic woman who ran this little venue in the
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: basement of a church in Westport, Kansas City, And like,
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: I like I lived in that venue as a kid.
• 44:20
  Speaker 8: I remember going to that first Five Iron show and
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: meeting several people there as a I think I was
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: must have been like twelve at the time, and like
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: feeling like, oh, there's people who get me, who like
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: accept me. Not realizing at the time, like how different
• 44:40
  Speaker 8: I was going to feel my whole life. And then
• 44:45
  Speaker 8: going to shows, I mean, Showbread wasn't there this year.
• 44:49
  Speaker 8: They've been there I think every other year of Furnace
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: Vest seeing Showbred. You know this, this this woman who
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: ran this venue in Kansas City. It's called new then
• 45:00
  Speaker 8: it was called Main Street Cafe. All of these bands
• 45:03
  Speaker 8: that played, for instance, probably played that venue at some point,
• 45:07
  Speaker 8: And like I said, Denise was this littleld woman who
• 45:11
  Speaker 8: ran that venue, and she would let us bring food
• 45:14
  Speaker 8: for the bands beforehand, and we get to hang out
• 45:16
  Speaker 8: with the bands if we brought food, and so like
• 45:19
  Speaker 8: I would bring food and like get to eat with bands,
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: and then we would all like gather up and like
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: pray before the show of course, and like just like
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: the moments that I had with the guys from Showbread,
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: the guys from Demon Hunter, the guys from like all
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: of these bands, like literally like taking me aside at thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: sixteen years old, and like seeing me in a way
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: that no one else in my life saw me sitting
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: there watching five Iron Frenzy play. It just like echoed
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: back in my mind, like how much this music as
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: you know, when they were playing, Oh, well, man, what's
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: the the whatever for a sellout?
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: That song?
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: Someone helped me out, Yeah, handbook for a sellout. I
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: was like, man, yes, like this idea that like I
• 46:22
  Speaker 8: was this like made fun of nerdy, weirdo kid, and
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: there was this community of people who said, no, you're
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: fucking weird and that's cool and I don't know, saved
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: my life in like so many ways, and so Vibron especially.
• 46:38
  Speaker 8: I think it is like a very like they encapsulate
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: that I'm rambling.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: I'll stop.
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: I love that you said that it saved your life,
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: because I mean, I think we could say that about
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: a lot of the bands that play at front As Fest.
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: I think specifically this year, I felt like that was
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: the case for a lot of the bands and for
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: a lot of people. Uh, you know, there's such a
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: connection there, you know, lyrically they you know, might have
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: pulled them out of a dark place in life, or
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: you know, gave a community, gave a community to someone
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: at a certain point in time that they desperately needed
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: a community, right.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: And this is kind of like a celebration.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Of that love that love that Uh.
• 47:19
  Speaker 9: Jason, So I did a grab bag at number one.
• 47:23
  Speaker 9: Let me get more specific this time. Oh, actually, Courtland,
• 47:27
  Speaker 9: I just texted my wife and asked she's from Kansas
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: City and she was it around the same time New
• 47:31
  Speaker 9: Earth Cafe. She's She's like, oh yeah, I was there
• 47:33
  Speaker 9: all the time. So we got to compare notes. Y'all
• 47:35
  Speaker 9: were probably a.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Lot of absolutely.
• 47:40
  Speaker 9: Under oath. It's probably the band I've seen the most.
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: I saw them back in their fucking black metal days,
• 47:46
  Speaker 9: so like we it's kind of been a long running thing.
• 47:51
  Speaker 9: Excuse the Barking Dog, the Only Chasing Safeties. It might
• 47:57
  Speaker 9: be my favorite rock album by anyone who's not Zayo.
• 48:01
  Speaker 9: So them playing that was special. And then the encore stuff,
• 48:06
  Speaker 9: them playing Sun Sleeps from Changing of Tires after saying
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: they were never gonna play it again. That was my
• 48:12
  Speaker 9: biggest mark out moment of the entire weekend. It was like,
• 48:15
  Speaker 9: I just know it's coming. I just know they're gonna
• 48:17
  Speaker 9: do it, you know, but like I didn't know until
• 48:20
  Speaker 9: they actually started playing it, But like that was, Yeah,
• 48:25
  Speaker 9: that was special that I I that set, under Oath set,
• 48:29
  Speaker 9: closing the whole thing down, a million people on stage,
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: a new song that fucking rips. It was perfect. It
• 48:37
  Speaker 9: was so good that it made me sit down and
• 48:39
  Speaker 9: write down like the ten best shows I've ever been to,
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: and Adam, I'm not saying this just because you're here,
• 48:44
  Speaker 9: but two thousand Hopes Fall at Cornerstone is on the list.
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: I have previously written about that set, so I can
• 48:50
  Speaker 9: verify I'm not saying it just because you're here, but
• 48:53
  Speaker 9: it's like it's like outcast, outcast, Goodie Mobs, Zayo Zao Converge,
• 48:59
  Speaker 9: Kyli radj def Heaven, and then under Oath from this
• 49:03
  Speaker 9: past weekend, like it's it's on the list.
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: One of these is not like the other is like that.
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: The only list Carli Raid, Jebson and under Oath are
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: both on. It's fucking red.
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: I think Justin Jefferson or not just Justin Jones. Justin
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: Jones might say something about.
• 49:22
  Speaker 7: That, uh I under Oath man.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: I love that they came out to some seat forgetness
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: others escape, especially with how much like apologize to anybody
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: who's offended by under Oath not being a Christian band anymore,
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: but for people being like wonder if they're gonna play
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: that one song, Like of course they're gonna play it.
• 49:43
  Speaker 7: It's on the album. They're doing an album playthrough.
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: Like it's like just because they're not a Christian band
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: anymore doesn't mean they're not gonna play like a song
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: on the album. And it was like the rendition of
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: it coming out first was amazing. So I just like
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: that's my like one rant with under Oath. It's like
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: just because they're not a Christian vanity bore, they could
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: still play the songs that have spiritual overtones to them
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: and it's awesome.
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: So I did a podcast episode with my friend who
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: didn't grow up religious. I have a religious, like faith
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: based podcast, but like and she was like that when
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: like Jesus, I'm ready to come, She's like, I have
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: no idea what the fuck that meant. But she was
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: like that went hard, like but her whole life, she
• 50:24
  Speaker 8: was like, no context, It's still amazing. It's an incredible song.
• 50:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it was a thing for like, you know months,
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: Like they did that live album during Quarantine where they
• 50:35
  Speaker 9: played that song and they sang all the lyrics and
• 50:37
  Speaker 9: it was still it was still like are they going
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: to hit all the lyrics in this song?
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Are they going to? You know?
• 50:41
  Speaker 9: But they led with it, they leaned all the way
• 50:44
  Speaker 9: into it. It was a completely sincere performance.
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: To juxtapose that I did, like that on the Furnace
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: Fest community page that there was somebody that announced how
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: many times Spencer said fuck and shit.
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: Both a little bit of it.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: They love to do that for Devil Wears product too,
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: So I think it's a little bit like I don't
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: go to a Quentin Tarantino movie and count many times
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: he says a bad word in.
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: It, but I do, Okay, you gotta get a life.
• 51:13
  Speaker 9: You can't count how many times when Tarantino says, Jesus,
• 51:17
  Speaker 9: there you go.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: So as much as they they have, like as much
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: as under Oath has maybe like said that they're never
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: going to play When the Sun Sleeps?
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: Uh what?
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: And I thought maybe Furnace Fest would also be the
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: last time that they ever play that. I will say
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: I did just see under Oath again yesterday they played
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: in Minneapolis, and uh, they did play when the Sun
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: Sleeps again. So maybe it's just like maybe on this
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: tour they're playing that song. But I thought that was interesting.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I was like convinced they like we're
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: going to retire it at furness Fest, and nope, they're
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: playing They're still playing it. The other what I'll mention
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: about under Oath, just one quick thing is, even though
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: I think my the Norman Jean sat was like my
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: highlight of the festival, I can't think of a better
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: way for the festival to close out than that under
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: o set. Like the way that they were able to
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: close out with writing on the walls everybody. As many
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: people as possible were packed on that stage. I bet
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: there was probably a couple hundred people on that stage
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: on that last bit, and you know, people were like
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: mashing on the stage like that was such a cool
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: way to close out the festival. So even though Norman
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Jean was my favorite moment of the fest, I can't
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: imagine a better way for them to have closed out
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: than have under Oath, and especially that particular song, it
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: was super cool. Yeah, well, let's get to our last
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: moment for each one of us.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: I'll start off again and then we'll jump over to Colin.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: I'll name something that maybe is again maybe less of
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: like a moment, but just something that I think made
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: Furnace Fest really special. But I remember the day after
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: the festival, there was a picture that somebody posted on
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: the Facebook community group of Chad Johnson stage diving during
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: under Oath with a big old cigar in his mouth.
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: And I remember that moment because I was like, he
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: like jumped right and like landed right in front of me.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: And then today, I think maybe it was today or yesterday,
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: that Johnny posted this really cool video of him running
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: out in stage diving, and I was like thinking to myself,
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: there's probably no other festival in the world. And again,
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: I haven't been to every festival in the world, so
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I could be wrong, but I just
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: would be really I think it'd be hard pressed to
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: find another festival where the organizers are legitimate fans of
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: the music to the point where they'd be stage diving
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: just like the rest of us fans. I just think
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: that is something that's super special about Furnace Fest. It
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: really just makes it such a different feel of a
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: festival than any other festival I've been to, and so
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: that's just something I really cherish. And even the fact,
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: like I know, like Tim from Under Oath made a
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: comment and it probably is true, but he made a
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: comment towards the end of their set about like this
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: might be the last time they ever play a show
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: without a barricade, and you know, just to think like
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: for some of these bands, they get so big that yeah,
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: they might not ever play a set without a barricade
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: ever again. And so I think, just again like that
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: Furnace Fest to create an environment where you can have
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: a band as big as under Oath to be able
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: to play a show where it the audience is able
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: to get far more intimate than a lot of these
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: bands are now playing for audiences. Just really cool. So
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: but really, more than anything, the special moment for me
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: was just how cool it is that Furnace fest was
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: able to create an environment where the bands, the organizers,
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: and the fans all could actually be fans like that
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: is just like something cool and I just can't imagine
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: there's too many other festivals quite like that, So that,
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: to me is another really top moment.
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: I think we do have to call out Johnny for
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: stealing your twenty twenty two stage diving form though, Mason.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: That's fair. I mean it was great for him, man,
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: that's it was great for Yeah, he's got a better
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: triple jump form than I do.
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's using his mirror and to figure it out.
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: That's good.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: I love it. Uh.
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: For For my last one, I was gonna say the
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: no barricades thing, because that's another thing that I keep
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: thinking about, like wanting to go to other shows and
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: stuff like that, but I don't want to be separated,
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: you know, nine feet from the stage. That feels so
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: lame and boring and not fun. So I guess I
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: got to go to Uh, I guess I gotta go
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: to an undertaking show because most undertaking shows don't have barricades.
• 55:28
  Speaker 7: Right Austin, Yeah, exactly.
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: They just bring a They just bring uh yeah, just
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: real intimate shows and they bring cooking you. That was
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: nice for real? Who like for not like? I actually
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: did mean it as nice. Mason didn't. But I meant
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: it as nice because that feels so much more authentic
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: and a show that I would go to. I would
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: not go to an under the show at a at
• 56:00
  Speaker 5: a big concert, at a big at a big venue.
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: It just doesn't sound appealing to me because I want
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: to be able to get a part of it. But
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: my actual last my actual last one. It was hard
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: for me to pick because there's a number of different
• 56:13
  Speaker 5: moments that that I want to talk about. But I'm
• 56:17
  Speaker 5: gonna I'm gonna throw a curveball here and say Unity
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: t X was Unity Texas or whatever. That show was incredible.
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: I saw on the Furnace Fest community page where they
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: said when they were asking about whether or not they
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: would want to play, their manager had told them it's
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: a it's a slightly Christian music festival and you gotta
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: have a playlist that'll work for it. And they're like, uh, yeah,
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: well we'll figure it out. And they they were starting
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: to play one song, they're like, wait, we can't play
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: that here or.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Something like that.
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: But they they went hard and that was that was
• 56:58
  Speaker 5: legitimately heavy. Like I was actually a little bit terrified
• 57:02
  Speaker 5: for a couple of moments when they were playing. Hair
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: stood up on the back of my neck. And I
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: hadn't even heard them before this week or before this weekend.
• 57:10
  Speaker 5: I had I had heard a couple songs from a
• 57:12
  Speaker 5: friend that was with us, and I was like, oh
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: my god, I have to go to this. Uh and
• 57:17
  Speaker 5: it was well worth it. I think it was a
• 57:19
  Speaker 5: really good palate cleanser too, you know, adding some hip
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: hop elements and stuff like that. You just don't see
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: that very often elsewhere at furnace Fest. So that part
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: was was kind of nice to have a little bit
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: of a breadth of a different kind of air, maybe
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: not fresh air, but different air, because there was not
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: a lot of fresh air there at Furnusfest. So that'll
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: be my third dude.
• 57:42
  Speaker 9: They were a blast, and they were like it was like,
• 57:44
  Speaker 9: you know, we all heard rap Corps a long time ago,
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: but this is something new and different. Yeah, you know,
• 57:48
  Speaker 9: it was like Trap Corps. But I didn't know the
• 57:50
  Speaker 9: background that they thought it was a Christian fest. I
• 57:52
  Speaker 9: heard them say that we you know, like we can't
• 57:54
  Speaker 9: cuss or something, and then they cussed their asses. Maybe
• 57:58
  Speaker 9: they realized like, oh, it's not that you know, only
• 58:00
  Speaker 9: some of these bands are Christian or what.
• 58:02
  Speaker 5: I don't know, right, Yeah, I love that.
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: The tour manager said it was a slightly slightly Christian festival,
• 58:08
  Speaker 5: so they they thought they had to applige ac I think, Babe, it.
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: Kind of is just like this podcast, slightly RISI just
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: like this podcast, just like.
• 58:17
  Speaker 5: Me, just like all of us. I think, except for
• 58:19
  Speaker 5: awesome Austin is a man of the cloth or.
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: Was definitely was all right, Austin, let's hear it.
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: My third moment is just my entire like last weekend
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: last time when we recapped it, you guys had me
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: on we recapped and I said, it was just like
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: the best weekend that we've ever had in our entire
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: lives because the undertaking, you know, last year, got to
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: go and play the festival and we didn't really know
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: what we were in for but I would say the
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: same thing with this year, like, granted, I'm super grateful
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: for my wife and the fact that she was holding
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: me on the fort with our three kids and let
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: us go out there. But we got into Birmingham on
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: Tuesday night, went straight to the Meadows Show, then played
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: our show on Wednesday, played our cover karaoke set on
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: Wednesday night, which was a blast and everybody crush shit
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: who sang along with us. Then we drove to Johnson City,
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: played with the showdown and then we drove back to
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: Birmingham to just participate in the festival. And so it
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: was just a whirlwind of like three am four am
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: nights for five nights in a row. We went to
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: the Secret Show with Misery Signals and Shia Hallud.
• 59:17
  Speaker 7: It's just one of those weekends.
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: Where I was like, all right, we're going to try
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: to do everything and anything that we can just to
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: have like the best time. And you throw in moments
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: like Mason, when I was in back with you and
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: we're just chatting, and it was one of those moments
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: where I was like, Okay, I'm not going to listen to.
• 59:32
  Speaker 7: Any music for a bit.
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: We're gonna sit back there and that's when what's her face?
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: Wanted to see my eyes to get to know me,
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: and I was like, what are we doing here?
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: Who do you think is Leonora?
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: Of course he introduced me and she's like, I'd like
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: to see your eyes to get to know.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: You and comment, yeah, but just being able to be there,
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: like it's like one of those things.
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: I'm from Sandy, so it's halfway if not more, across
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: the country, and it's it takes a huge risk, not risk,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: but it takes a lot of effort to.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 7: Get out there.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: But then for me to be able to sing with
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: David in the showdown in the shed, to be able
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: to sing with Idle Threat in the shed, the stage dive,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: like during the one part in the showdown, Like there
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: are just so many moments like that that I'm just
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: like not taking for granted and just compiling them into
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: like my little memory bucket that I get to hold
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: onto now for the rest of my life. So it's
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: just the furnest best is the best.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 10: Man.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: I'm so sad to see it go, if it's going,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: if it comes back as a different thing, whatever it is,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: but I just it's just such a cool thing. And
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: I'm so grateful to be able to be a small
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: part of it and for all of us to be
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: able to come here and be like, oh yeah, this
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: was my favorite moment, and we all have different things
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: that really stood out to us.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 7: And anyways, Oh, last.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: But not least, I was able to purchase my own
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: test pressing this past weekend.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 7: So didn't know those extel Yeah, so now I have one.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: I bet you could have just talked to Jason Zamett
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 5: and he would have gotten you one for that.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 7: I don't think that.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: I bet we could have talked Jason.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 7: Anyway.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: So my buddy Sean texted me off Friday morning said
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: there's undertaking test pressings here and I said, go back
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: and get me one.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: And I got one. So that was cool.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: I think we've got is it Eric?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 7: Next?
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 6: I think them.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 9: So.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 6: My real number one is kind of something that Mason
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 6: you mentioned at the beginning, is just getting to hang
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 6: out with people who I don't see otherwise, many who
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 6: I've never met in person before but have known online
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 6: for nearly a decade at this point, probably, but I
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 6: wanted to keep my list more music based, So for me,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 6: the number one moment was seeing further scenes forever. At
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 6: the prefest show at Work play the band they all
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 6: they've played, counting that three of the last four years,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 6: and all three times they've been either my favorite or
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 6: second favorite of the weekend. They just blowed me away
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 6: with their passion and intensity and you know, skill and
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: a lot oficism and how much the crowd gets into it.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 6: Jason Gleeson's voice is just absolutely incredible.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: And it just.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 6: The only, for lack of better word, it just moves
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 6: me when I when I see them play. And so
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 6: that was that was my favorite music related moment of
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 6: the weekend.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: Did you see the opener, uh that Jason did for
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: for them? I did not.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 6: Unfortunately I didn't get there in time.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 9: Our crowd was every bit as engaged and passionate.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: I assure you, I believe it.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: I love that Courtland.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll keep mine mind pretty short here. Music wise,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 8: Evergreen Terraces was was incredible. I mean it was They
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 8: were the last band that I hadn't gotten to see.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 8: It was kind of on my list of like, you know,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 8: like I had never seen Zao before, you know, and
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 8: you know, through Furnace Fest last few years, I got
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 8: to see Zo I had never seen Hopes Fall. Back
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 8: in the day, I got to see Hopes Fall. So like,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 8: there was some of these bands that I didn't get
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 8: to see back in the early two thousands that I
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 8: got to see at Furnace Fast and this year my
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 8: my one band that was like I never got to
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 8: see that I'm excited.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: To see was Upgreen Terrace.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 8: So and they they blew my fucking face off.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: It was incredible. It still blows my mind that their
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: drummer is the drummer for Yellow Card.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 8: That's I didn't even know that, and that's insane. They were.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 8: They were amazing.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: It blows my mind.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 8: Like literally, I'm still like like hyped up about how
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 8: amazing their set was. I thought it was incredible.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: They are good ones.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 9: Jason h So Norma Jean was in my top three.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 9: Green Terrace. Fun thing that happened during their set was
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 9: watching from the stage. As you know, it's a music
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 9: festival in Alabama on a Saturday, people are looking at
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 9: their phones checking the score of the Crimson Tide game
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 9: and seeing the score was going unfavorably. So I got
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 9: to watch people look at their phones and turn on
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 9: their heels and leave. Actually, I left too to follow
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 9: the crowd. Once it was like fourteen, oh Vandy. That's
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 9: when I bumped into Mason and told I told you, like, yeah,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 9: Bam was losing to Vandy. I guess I'll, I guess
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 9: I'll check back in with Evergreen Terrace. Also in the shed,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 9: Drug Church was awesome.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: That was such a stay, very very fun sh They
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: actually were able to get some of those people out
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: of the shed crowdsurface. It was so cool.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 9: Where any crowdsurfers had to be carried all the way
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 9: to the end of the shed. And for anyone who
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 9: you know, any listeners who haven't seen this, it's it's
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 9: like a football field size warehouse. So it was like
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 9: teams of like four people carrying each crowdsurfer all the
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 9: way to daylight and then all the way back down.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 9: Their show is a blast.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 5: So one thing about that that I've always liked is
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: that I can't remember their their league, his name, but
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 5: his uh stage presence is not like anyone else out there.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 5: It's like he should be an indie band. But you know,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: everyone's trying to look as hard as they possibly can, right,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 5: or if you're awesome, you're trying to look like you're
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: trying to look like, uh if you're loathing in Las Vegas.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 5: Like he just looked like he was just like hanging
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 5: out singing tunes around a campfire.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 5: But it's it's heavy and it's it's it's it's it's
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 5: it's mean, and it was awesome.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: I love I love when he like he'll do like
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: these little moments where it looks like he's looking up
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: kind of towards like a light and he looks like
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: a moth trying to like find like he just looks
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: like a moth to me sometimes it's funny. It's just
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know, he just looks like a moth. That's
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: that's the vibe he gives off.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 9: And so do his listeners as they are they're flying
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 9: away out of the shit, right.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that drug hurt sat was sick.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: Before anybody forgets I do have to shout out the
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: noodle guy during that.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 8: Du That incredible, incredible.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: This guy's crowdsurfd on stage with noodles and Anthony Green
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: turns around and knocks it out of his hands into
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: the air.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 7: Is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 8: Did you see like the photos like the snapshot. They
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 8: got it like right in the moment, is beautiful perfectly.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do want to maybe mention one honorable mention. Uh,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: we don't have time for a bunch of honorable mentions,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: but I just want to name one. And you know,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: I know you all kind of maybe have reiterated in
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: different ways, but you know, obviously the people that you
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: meet at Furnace Fast are just like one of a kind.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: It does feel like kind of one of those moments
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: where it's like, you know, especially for those of us
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: who like kind of this weird music, Like there's not
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: too many people in the world that we encounter that
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: like weird music like us. You know, there's not too
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: many people that you know, I can just say, like, hey,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: you like you know, you like Norman Jean. Very few
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: people are gonna know who Norman Gene is or under
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: Oath or you know, Redgiing the full E Fact or
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: whoever it is. Right, there's very few people in the
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: world that know of these bands. And so to like
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: be able to like come together and just like meet
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: a ton of other people that just love the same
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: music as you do, it's like just super cool. But
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: there was a really funny moment of just meeting people
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: this year where Cullin was recognized so many times, and
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: one of one moment, I think maybe it was like
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: the first day, like that Friday, and somebody you know
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: comes up and is like, you guys from the Black
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: Sheep and Colin and I were chatting with this person
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: and you know, we eventually like say goodbye or whatever,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: and I remember like, as this person's walking away, callin
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: kind of I don't even know if he like directed
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: it towards me or not, but he kind of like
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: under his best said gosh, that's so cool, kind of
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: meaning like it's so super cool to get recognized, you know,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: and you know, baby, for like you know, those of
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: us who grew up in South Dakota where like we
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: didn't know anybody who was ever famous about anything like
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: it was. It is kind of a cool little moment
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: where you know, somebody can come up and like recognize
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: your face because they think that what you do is
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: kind of cool. And uh, you know, but only like
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: in a place like Furnace Fest would that even be
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: possible because we're you know, we just were fans of
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: this music and so are a bunch of other people.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: So anyway, that was just like a really cool moment
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: for like calling to like just be like God, it
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: kind of feels like a little special right now.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 5: Ye Nie dumbas podcast.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: Ernie from Idol Threat has that joke where he's like,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: you know, at the grocery store the next day and
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: he's like, nobody here knows that I just played furnace Fest.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 5: It's funny though. I had the same feeling when when
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 5: we met Eric a couple of years ago. I was like, well,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 5: I've been following this guy on on Twitter for years,

  Speaker 6: could be there as well, and he actually did end
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 6: up able to go this year, So that was that
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 6: was kind of a cool full circle moment. He has

• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: to be able to share an experience like furness Fest
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: is something that you know, there's probably different ways that
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: I'm sure our paths would cross, but to have something
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: like furnace Fest that brings us all together, it is
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: just really cool. So hopefully something like that comes about
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: at some other point in our lives so that we
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: all can be kind of in the same place at
• 1:10:01
