  The, the process was really, really enjoyable.
• 0:02
  Actually, when I had done work with other magazines, it was, it
• 0:05
  was always a headache at some point.
• 0:07
  But everybody that I interviewed and worked with on the magazine,
• 0:11
  this first issue was incredibly easy to work with and super
• 0:14
  thankful that they were down, you know, to help me do the the
• 0:17
  kickoff. What's up everybody, it's Kefi
• 0:26
  at Ghost Coat Mag Comm. I am super stoked to be joined
• 0:29
  once again by our friend Joey Diabolic.
• 0:31
  How are you doing, Joey? I'm doing great.
• 0:33
  Yeah, double horns. I like it.
• 0:35
  So good to see you. You know, you're one of the
• 0:37
  people I keep in touch with on a semi regular basis.
• 0:40
  I'm really thankful for you. You've been very supportive of
• 0:43
  us. We've supported you back.
• 0:45
  It's a very good, I feel like a mutual good thing when you meet
• 0:49
  people in the business that have the same sort of like minded
• 0:53
  individual as yourself, you want to, you know, you hang on to
• 0:56
  those folks. So thanks, good to see you
• 0:57
  again. He was well man, It's always a
• 0:59
  pleasure. So you have this new magazine,
• 1:01
  uh, Hudson Valley scene or HV scene and you know, you've done
• 1:06
  that since you've, you know, was kind of feels like you've been
• 1:08
  putting the work in since you moved back east again.
• 1:11
  And it's super cool. I was so excited to get that
• 1:14
  package in the mailman. It really, you know, it was a
• 1:17
  thrill, to be honest, to open this thing up.
• 1:19
  And we've sent a couple of other prizes and things out to people
• 1:23
  that I included a couple in. So hopefully you make some new
• 1:25
  fans and it's really cool. It's hard to do a physical
• 1:29
  product these days. And I know packaging and
• 1:32
  magazine layout and the graphic arts are another one of your
• 1:36
  skill sets beside music, but it's so cool.
• 1:39
  What made you want to kind of dip back in and do this?
• 1:42
  Yeah, I was looking to do something music related, but not
• 1:46
  just composing music as I have been doing.
• 1:48
  And I had done work with magazines in the past and
• 1:53
  newspapers actually, you know, for two years, like in my 20s, I
• 1:56
  worked at a newspaper. And then from 2013 to 2019, I
• 2:02
  was working with Outsider Magazine and did a ton of work
• 2:04
  with that and establishing and designing and marketing and
• 2:08
  yadda, yadda. Just certain things came to
• 2:11
  fruition and I decide I'm like, you know what?
• 2:14
  I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do my own.
• 2:15
  And it's been a really positive experience.
• 2:17
  A lot of people that picked up the magazine, a lot of exuberant
• 2:21
  energy, positive energy. And that's all I can really hope
• 2:25
  for. Right.
• 2:26
  And it's it's HV scene and beyond.
• 2:28
  By the way, I know there's. That's correct.
• 2:30
  There's. A tag line because it is the
• 2:31
  world. And beyond.
• 2:32
  And beyond which could be anything.
• 2:34
  And I love that, you know, again, I say this all the time
• 2:37
  about ghost cult because we don't have rock or metal in our
• 2:40
  name. It can be whatever we want it to
• 2:42
  be. So if I want to come, if I want
• 2:43
  to cover Nick Cave and Amigo the Devil, I can cover Nick Cave and
• 2:46
  Amigo the Devil. And it's like, Oh my God, it's
• 2:48
  not rock or metal. Well, we don't have that in our
• 2:50
  name. What is ghost cult?
• 2:51
  It's this ephemeral thing. I didn't name it.
• 2:53
  I took it over as, you know, the history.
• 2:56
  So, you know, this is very cool. This is beautiful looking.
• 2:59
  It's printed beautifully. I've done some work in
• 3:02
  publishing and layout and things like that.
• 3:05
  I used to do Q&A for a marketing company and I helped sort of
• 3:10
  manage their printed materials. This is going back quite a while
• 3:13
  for, you know, for a printing and all the things.
• 3:15
  This is gorgeous. Like I wish that some of the
• 3:17
  more, you know, no shade to any of the current crop of rock or
• 3:21
  metal magazines, but they should all look at this and be like, we
• 3:23
  should be doing this or hire this guy because this is
• 3:26
  incredible looking. It's beautiful.
• 3:29
  Yeah, it's beautiful to have. It's put together.
• 3:31
  It's kind of flawless. I'm such a nitpicker.
• 3:33
  When we had the magazine for a long time, you know, for five or
• 3:36
  six years of ghost Colts 13 years, we had a magazine, a
• 3:39
  digital mag and you know, I was it's I'm such a painstaking
• 3:44
  nitpicker as an editor, which is good cuz my own shit is not as
• 3:48
  good as that. Luckily I've added other
• 3:49
  people's things. Well, but you know, this is just
• 3:52
  top to bottom fantastic. You know, what is the process
• 3:55
  like for you to put this to put the first one together?
• 3:58
  Like what did you already have a vision for what it was going to
• 4:01
  entail? Did it come to you piece meal
• 4:04
  and how you have a format? How did you sort of embark on
• 4:07
  this journey not just as a designer but as an editor?
• 4:10
  Well. I knew I kind of wanted to do
• 4:12
  something where, let me let me rephrase that, I've been part of
• 4:16
  other scenes and not really feeling like I was fully
• 4:21
  accepted. In a way, I was kind of felt
• 4:23
  like outside, like I was too metal or too industrial or
• 4:27
  whatever The thing is. And I just kind of wanted to do
• 4:30
  something where I kind of felt accepted, which is funny because
• 4:33
  it's my own magazine. But to include people that I
• 4:36
  felt like we're in the same sort of like in between, if that
• 4:41
  makes sense. Like artistically, you know, we
• 4:43
  might not make sense in certain genres, but and other realms
• 4:47
  were like totally accepted. And as far as designing and
• 4:51
  laying out and everything like that, I knew where I wanted to
• 4:54
  end up with, you know, I wanted to feel like a high end
• 4:58
  magazine, like, visually, like striking and kind of, you know,
• 5:02
  to play to the mystery of the cover.
• 5:04
  Like, what is it? Is it a crowd of zombies or is
• 5:07
  it cake, you know? And then I kind of wanted to
• 5:11
  play on the duality, you know, elements of horror, but then you
• 5:14
  got music and then you got art throughout.
• 5:17
  And yeah, you know, I also wanted to get more of my
• 5:20
  creative energies out too. And yeah, but the process was
• 5:24
  really, really enjoyable. Actually, when I had done work
• 5:27
  with other magazines, it was it was always a headache at some
• 5:30
  point. But everybody that I interviewed
• 5:33
  and worked with on the magazine, this first issue was incredibly
• 5:36
  easy to work with and super thankful that they were down,
• 5:40
  you know, to help me do the the kickoff.
• 5:42
  Right on. That's so cool.
• 5:44
  You know, again, I think it's, it is kind of like a little
• 5:47
  microcosm of everything you're all about, which I also love.
• 5:50
  Like, of course, it has like all your little brand, personal
• 5:54
  brand elements and your music elements and everything and a
• 5:57
  little facets of your personality in it that I really
• 6:01
  dig. And you did interviews yourself,
• 6:03
  which I didn't even know you did, was really cool.
• 6:05
  They're very well done. It's not like you took it very
• 6:08
  seriously. I would have asked similar
• 6:10
  questions. I love some of the stuff in
• 6:12
  here. You you definitely landed.
• 6:15
  So you swung big and landed punches.
• 6:17
  Well, as we say in the for a sports analogy and only One Cup
• 6:23
  of coffee today. So I don't know, I don't know
• 6:24
  where this is all going. The the ADHD intake doctor was
• 6:29
  like drink less coffee. I was like, OK, sure, that's
• 6:32
  what it is. I'm on my 4th for the day man. 2
• 6:36
  is a good spot for me and but yeah, she was like trying to do
• 6:40
  less. I was like, OK, but yeah.
• 6:42
  And then you had a couple of contributors also come in.
• 6:45
  It's just folks, you know, from your own network.
• 6:47
  Did people find you? Did you put AI?
• 6:50
  Don't remember seeing if you put a casting call.
• 6:52
  It's always one of my fears is to put out like a wide net and
• 6:55
  and get too many crazies. No, actually, you know Kai, I I
• 7:00
  mean I've known him since my days and White Plague.
• 7:03
  And this is like Socrates 19961997.
• 7:07
  We had done music together. He was key artist and martyr art
• 7:11
  for a while. He does his own music, Visions
• 7:14
  of Empyrion. And he's done some incredible
• 7:17
  work which I would love to eventually see be released.
• 7:20
  But he's working on a huge catalog of music.
• 7:22
  And he actually got me into a lot of the deeper industrial
• 7:27
  stuff. Then I had, you know, any sort
• 7:30
  of knowledge of especially like ascetic perfection.
• 7:34
  I ended up doing a remix for him back in 2009 just because I was
• 7:38
  like, yo, man, he's taking remixes.
• 7:41
  It's, you know, great exposure and whatnot.
• 7:43
  And I didn't even really know too much about the remixing
• 7:47
  concept. So he's a, you know, he's been a
• 7:49
  bro for a long time. So when I was like, hey, man,
• 7:52
  there's an opportunity. Would you do you want to do an
• 7:54
  interview? He's like, absolutely.
• 7:56
  Like he had all these questions and it was really great.
• 7:58
  And I know her from Mama Doom and she's fantastic, incredible
• 8:04
  drummer, really heavy sound. And she actually does a lot of
• 8:08
  the music videos for them, like actually the last three or four
• 8:11
  music videos. And she's really into horror.
• 8:14
  She's a bigger horror buff than I am, which is great.
• 8:17
  And her and I get to, you know, talk shop about, you know,
• 8:21
  cameras and filming and you know, 6K4K, all the, you know,
• 8:26
  all the details sort of stuff. Right on.
• 8:28
  And then there's a lot of cool photography.
• 8:31
  Concert photography is a big thing for me.
• 8:33
  We do a lot of it with Ghost Cult.
• 8:35
  I used to do it personally, I stopped around the pandemic.
• 8:38
  I was like and I'm done. But there's some great stuff in
• 8:41
  here and some shots you also took that I thought were
• 8:43
  beautiful and really beautifully placed and and it's just laid
• 8:47
  out excellently. You know, like, again, as a nerd
• 8:50
  for the physical media and such a physical art nerd myself, I
• 8:55
  love how this thing is put together a lot of cool visual
• 8:57
  things. Thank you.
• 8:58
  Yeah. I mean, a lot of those concert
• 9:00
  photos, Ignacio or Lana from Army of One TV, he's been doing
• 9:05
  incredible work for well over a decade, even dating back to,
• 9:09
  like, Poughkeepsie metal and stuff like that.
• 9:12
  And you know, I was like, we'd actually collaborated on live
• 9:16
  shots, which was actually something I had done for
• 9:19
  Outsider magazine when I was kind of like was Co creator for
• 9:23
  that period of time. So that's something I brought
• 9:26
  over from Outsider magazine and put it into this because that
• 9:29
  was kind of my thing. And as far as those photos I
• 9:32
  took, I was like, you know, there's some cool experiences I
• 9:35
  had in LA and even even though they might be like a year or two
• 9:38
  old or whatever, it's like there's some cool memories, cool
• 9:41
  locations, you know, legendary locations.
• 9:44
  Why not put them in the magazine, You know, just to kind
• 9:46
  of encapsulate a little bit of everything, you know?
• 9:49
  Right on Ignacio's incredible good dude friend to both me and
• 9:54
  Omar, the co-owner ghost call. We've we've shouldered up next
• 9:57
  to each other in many shows, both in the photo pit and
• 10:00
  elsewhere. Just just just an exceptional
• 10:03
  person. And I'm glad you're working with
• 10:05
  exceptional people because you are too.
• 10:07
  And yeah, man, Would you say are there other goals you have kind
• 10:12
  of in mind? Oh, you also interviewed before
• 10:14
  I get a get ahead of myself. You interviewed Dean Carr, which
• 10:17
  I thought was amazing, you know, like a bucket list type of
• 10:21
  person to get. So it seems like you're not
• 10:23
  afraid to, like, again, reach out to big, big people, in my
• 10:25
  opinion, who would be, you know, super interesting to talk to.
• 10:28
  That's a big one, too. Yeah, I mean, I've been a fan of
• 10:32
  his, you know, graphic design work for like these things like
• 10:36
  high school and stuff like that. Junior high, you know, growing
• 10:38
  up with these bands and, you know, like when the Bernard Red
• 10:41
  came out, I'm like just looking at this artwork.
• 10:44
  And of course, before that with the superstar and the Sweet
• 10:47
  Dreams music video, which was like, that was just huge.
• 10:50
  I mean, that totally blew up Marilyn Manson and just all the
• 10:53
  other work he's done over the years.
• 10:54
  It's just highly impactful on to actually my design aesthetic.
• 10:59
  So, you know, it's like him. Hugh Sign And like a few other
• 11:03
  people, you know, Anton Corbin, you know, those are the kind of
• 11:06
  the few that have pretty big visual influences on me and
• 11:09
  creative and graphic design. Right on.
• 11:12
  There's actually like a tremendous be like a very good
• 11:15
  feature or, you know, something to pursue for a video series.
• 11:18
  There's a tremendous crossover of people who started in the
• 11:22
  either the graphic design world or photography world still like
• 11:25
  portrait photography, portraiture who then crossed
• 11:28
  over to music videos. Dean Carr, Anton Corbin, you
• 11:32
  mentioned Frank Kozik, rest in power, Rich Pettibone.
• 11:36
  Of course, like you know, there's so many Rocky Shenk also
• 11:41
  and and Wayne Isham and people like that who did some of the
• 11:44
  biggest videos ever started as designers, graphic designers,
• 11:48
  set designers and portrait photographers.
• 11:50
  Super interesting. I think Jim Lavoe now out in
• 11:54
  Arizona. He was like for the longest
• 11:55
  time, like the Dean of the concert photographers of
• 11:58
  Arizona, Nevada and and Southern California.
• 12:01
  Now he's doing music videos and stuff.
• 12:03
  So super cool. Now I was gonna ask, did you,
• 12:06
  you know, sort of setting out to do this magazine, did you have
• 12:10
  certain goals? Did you meet them all?
• 12:11
  Are there certain things you want to do better next time?
• 12:13
  Anything in particular you want to elevate your game up to do in
• 12:16
  the future? Because believe me, this is a
• 12:18
  banger for the for the first of anything.
• 12:21
  I remember our first thing, all the other scenes and things I've
• 12:23
  ever done self-publishing super hard to do.
• 12:27
  So this right out of the bat, you know, right, right off the
• 12:30
  bat, you hit it out of the park. But again, like with the things
• 12:33
  like when you look at it and oh, I could have did that better.
• 12:35
  Next time I'll do this things like that.
• 12:37
  No, surprisingly, because I usually nitpick the shit out of
• 12:41
  everything I do. This is like, I think it's as
• 12:44
  perfect as it can be. And, you know, for future
• 12:47
  issues, I just want to, you know, I want to connect with
• 12:51
  creative people that I feel that are interesting and have an
• 12:54
  interesting story to tell or, you know, people that I've
• 12:57
  looked up to that have influenced me in a way.
• 13:01
  And I just want to connect with them, you know, through an
• 13:05
  interview, that sort of thing. So it's.
• 13:07
  Yeah, just I want to keep the caliber at least the same as the
• 13:11
  first issue. I don't know how much higher I
• 13:13
  can go because I think I kind of like, you know, went pretty
• 13:16
  intense on the detail and making sure everything was like
• 13:19
  perfectly located and, you know, to the to the point, you know,
• 13:24
  like to the smallest detail. I think I kind of nailed
• 13:27
  everything that I wanted to accomplish.
• 13:29
  Right on. Well, I'm, I'm just an over
• 13:31
  critical jerk then. Omar will probably love that
• 13:35
  comment. I'm just an over critical
• 13:37
  nitpicking jerk, but that's OK. I'm a perfectionist.
• 13:40
  Talk about music for a second. You know you came back east.
• 13:44
  I know we got that Friday the 13th music theme that came out.
• 13:48
  What else do you have going on? I know you're kind of always
• 13:50
  making and creating stuff. Yeah.
• 13:52
  I've kind of been balancing back and forth between how many
• 13:55
  releases, what sort of releases I'd be doing.
• 13:57
  We're started recording and writing an album back in 2019
• 14:01
  before all the through sound Waves stuff and kind of put that
• 14:04
  on pause still, you know, I kind of have to come to a conclusion
• 14:07
  with that whole segment of songs.
• 14:10
  Which I have right here arc. Yep, exactly right box.
• 14:13
  Set right here. One of my favorite things ever.
• 14:16
  And but for now, it's connecting what I did with just drive and
• 14:21
  pretty much kind of going back to what I was doing with through
• 14:25
  sound waves and stuff like that. So going back to the heavier
• 14:28
  stuff, there's probably like one or two heavy songs, but it's
• 14:31
  like it's 35 songs, but it's there's a lot more darker stuff,
• 14:35
  you know, definitely in that sort of Nine Inch Nails sort of
• 14:37
  lane quite expansive right now. It's it looks like it's going to
• 14:41
  be instead of breaking it up into one full length album and
• 14:44
  three E PS I think I'm just going to consolidate it all
• 14:46
  together and just find the like a good narration lyrically to
• 14:51
  connect everything. So it all kind of like makes
• 14:53
  sense, at least to me, you know? Do you have a time frame?
• 14:56
  Do you think we'll get a 26 release or just whenever it's
• 14:59
  ready? Yeah, I want to knock it out and
• 15:01
  have it out by, you know, the middle of 2026, maybe a little
• 15:05
  later. And then to get back to the
• 15:07
  first thing I was reporting, which actually would kind of
• 15:10
  close out. And then I'm not sure what's
• 15:12
  happening after that. I don't know if I'm still going
• 15:14
  to do music as Joy Diabolic. I don't know.
• 15:17
  You know, it's all kind of like up in the air.
• 15:19
  After that, I hear you keep it open-ended, but also like, you
• 15:22
  know, if it's, you know, feels kind of like resolved, then you
• 15:26
  can go do enough and do a new band or join someone else's
• 15:29
  band. If.
• 15:30
  You felt like you found the right, you know, situation.
• 15:33
  I'd love to see that, Love to see you get out there on the
• 15:36
  stage again. I know you mentioned upstate New
• 15:39
  York and Saugerties. You know, memories of Woodstock
• 15:43
  come back to me and a bunch of time that I spend in the Hudson
• 15:46
  Valley actually off and on in my young my 20s and and early 30s.
• 15:52
  A lot of time I spent up there. So such a cool place still still
• 15:56
  a good scene. I'm sad the chances gone.
• 15:57
  My chance shirt is here somewhere hanging up and.
• 16:01
  Yeah, I got my hate, you know, survived the the mosh pit for
• 16:05
  Hate Breach shirt I got. That's at the chance.
• 16:07
  Yeah, look at that. Those mosh pits were insane.
• 16:10
  The New York hardcore upstate hardcore kids were so brutal.
• 16:14
  Yeah, some of the worst punishing fights and beat downs
• 16:18
  I've ever seen in my life were there and they had the the huge
• 16:22
  iron barricade. You got smashed up into that
• 16:26
  man. You were black and blue for days
• 16:29
  and days. And then there were other
• 16:30
  places, you know, all through, all through Westchester and and
• 16:35
  upstate New York. There's a tons of places I've
• 16:38
  probably forgotten them all. Places we both probably went to
• 16:41
  as fans played at gigs. All those.
• 16:43
  Northern Lights. Valentine's.
• 16:45
  I love Northern Lights. What was the bar in Albany?
• 16:50
  I saw shadows fall there. It was insane.
• 16:53
  Shadows fall and a Caro at, I can't remember.
• 16:57
  Shakers was Pelham. I think Yonkers had a few
• 17:02
  places. It was nuts.
• 17:04
  It was a very crazy scene, actually.
• 17:05
  And so people would come from all over to go to those places
• 17:08
  and then everywhere else. What's like the best show you
• 17:11
  ever saw that was like a local show when you were coming up?
• 17:14
  Oh, slip fist at the chance. Pretty much, you know, slipped
• 17:20
  this at that point. Like my drummer and I at the
• 17:23
  time when I was in dislocate, we would go and hang out their
• 17:26
  shows and, you know, sometimes drive to a gig or two with them.
• 17:29
  And I remember we're just hanging out in the audience.
• 17:33
  They're just killing, you know, their size is blown up.
• 17:35
  And then but they had all these two TV's on the stage and then
• 17:40
  all of a sudden he grabs a bat and he just starts smashing all
• 17:43
  the the two TV's and they're all on and everything that they just
• 17:46
  was such a cool theatrical experience that just kind of
• 17:49
  came out of nowhere and just, I felt like just set the bar so
• 17:51
  high for like, for that. Like, you know, like, I guess
• 17:55
  like a local show per SE. Nice.
• 17:57
  Yeah. You know, it's always cool when
• 17:59
  the local bands would try to raise up their game.
• 18:01
  We, I, my bands tried to do that too.
• 18:03
  Let's be bigger than just a bar band, you know, let's do
• 18:06
  something more. That was always a fun thing for
• 18:08
  us. I, you know, we've been eating
• 18:11
  real good this year musically. We're getting to the end of the
• 18:14
  year and this is probably going to run at the start of the new
• 18:16
  year. But what music have you been
• 18:18
  digging this year? That's new.
• 18:19
  Whether it's new artist, 3 year old standbys, we've been very
• 18:22
  fortunate this year. Let's see, recently actually, I
• 18:27
  think within the past week, Sir Echo released a new single,
• 18:31
  Bubble Gum, and Moon Tooth just dropped a new single, which I've
• 18:35
  already listened to it like 10 times.
• 18:37
  Like the first time I listened to, I listened to five times in
• 18:40
  a row. It was just like blowing my
• 18:42
  mind, you know? A lot of quits and turns in the
• 18:45
  song that are really unexpected and when it ends you're just
• 18:48
  like what the fuck just happened and I need to hear it again.
• 18:51
  Nice big moon Tooth fan. We've interviewed the band
• 18:54
  before. Great to see Nick on his way
• 18:56
  back, you know, recovered and everything.
• 18:59
  And hopefully that means they have more things coming soon.
• 19:03
  I've been, you know, obsessing over the new vows record.
• 19:07
  Probably going to be one of my top records of the year.
• 19:09
  Super dark and and Moody and and great and and, you know, kind of
• 19:14
  great energy. And of course, can't go wrong
• 19:16
  with the Tron soundtrack by 9 Inch Nails, right the first.
• 19:19
  Actual actual. So good it made the movie
• 19:22
  better. I just want 9 inch nails to do
• 19:26
  all my Movies Now. I know, right?
• 19:28
  And that's the thing too, like, well, I, I still haven't seen
• 19:31
  the the film, which I wanted to do, but I think it's out of the
• 19:34
  3D now. I think it's just.
• 19:36
  Standing. Probably.
• 19:37
  I don't. Love it.
• 19:37
  But that soundtrack, you know, I mean, of course them being 9
• 19:41
  Inch Nails, I mean, they're already at in a sense they're
• 19:45
  gods that in of what they do. But the fact that they had to
• 19:48
  match, in a sense, the Daft Punk soundtrack, which is legendary
• 19:52
  and it's so perfect on its own. I think Trenton Atticus did an
• 19:56
  incredible job of like, matching the same energy and the same
• 20:00
  level, but obviously in there in a different way.
• 20:03
  And you could hear connections between, you know, them
• 20:07
  consciously connecting the, you know, Tron legacy into their
• 20:10
  music, but then obviously going, you know, exploring the deep
• 20:15
  universe of Nine Inch Nails. Right on.
• 20:17
  And let's I know I was just a kid when the original Tron came
• 20:20
  out, but I was such a big fan of the Wendy Carlos Tron soundtrack
• 20:24
  from the Tron 1. So there.
• 20:26
  I totally agree with all that. And actually though, I just saw
• 20:29
  Creditor Badlands last night and that soundtrack is also quite
• 20:32
  good and very surprising. Like 1 foot in a futuristic
• 20:36
  unknown space thing and then an actual traditional score, which
• 20:40
  I thought was wonderful. Yeah, really great.
• 20:42
  And that was the best film overall.
• 20:44
  Awesome. I'm not.
• 20:45
  I'm not fully caught up on the last few Predator things, but I
• 20:50
  would say you could go in cold. There's a lot of cool lore that
• 20:54
  you know, it seemed like the audience it was still actually
• 20:57
  like for a smaller theater showing.
• 20:59
  And I don't love the 3D anything.
• 21:01
  I think you can still find Tron playing.
• 21:03
  It may not be an IMAX anywhere, but it's definitely still worth
• 21:07
  seeing in the movies visually. And the same thing with
• 21:09
  Badlands. I'm glad I saw it in the movies.
• 21:11
  And there's definitely some things if you're a longtime fan
• 21:14
  of Predator and Alien, there's a lot of like cool Easter eggs and
• 21:18
  like blatant things that are like, oh, this sets up something
• 21:21
  else. And then there's, if you didn't
• 21:23
  know and you just went into exactly what Omar was like, you
• 21:25
  could just go see it and it's not going to ruin it for you.
• 21:27
  And he was right. Rarely is that true, but my dude
• 21:31
  had it locked in cold. He was right.
• 21:33
  Just as we wind this up because I want to give you back your
• 21:36
  time and I really appreciate connecting with you again.
• 21:38
  And I always try to end these with a wild card question.
• 21:42
  And since this is like our third interview and we've talked
• 21:44
  multiple times that after this. So I want to make sure that I'm
• 21:46
  always, you know, coming at you with something new.
• 21:50
  I know what a big horror fan you are.
• 21:52
  And we just passed Halloween, and it's always Halloween for
• 21:55
  guys like us. But if you could rescore a
• 21:59
  classic horror film yourself from scratch, which one would
• 22:03
  you do? Oh man, probably.
• 22:08
  I mean, in one sense I kind of already did.
• 22:11
  It just did not get not connected, but A Nightmare on
• 22:14
  Elm Street or Dreammaster. That's my favorite of the horror
• 22:19
  of the Freddy franchise and already did this, the opening
• 22:24
  song, which is actually Tuesday night's song.
• 22:27
  So that was already done with the Di Lolly of Mama Doom and
• 22:31
  then did the actual main theme. And then Son of 100 Maniacs,
• 22:35
  which is actually from, you know, kind of inspired from Part
• 22:38
  5. But if they ever get the rights
• 22:40
  taken care of Warner Brothers and they want to find a guy that
• 22:43
  wants to do the music, I'm available.
• 22:45
  There's a guy I know a guy we all know.
• 22:48
  We all know a guy we know the guy.
• 22:51
  You know, congratulations on everything, man.
• 22:53
  I'm just really, you know, really proud of you and and
• 22:56
  pleased to have this thing in my hands and and I'll be looking
• 22:58
  forward to the next one. And of course, you know, keep us
• 23:01
  posted on all your activities and we'll keep, you know,
• 23:04
  bragging about you, everyone we know.
• 23:07
  It's always a pleasure. Joey Diabolic, thanks for being
• 23:09
  so cool and down with us. And again, Congrats on HB scene
• 23:13
  and beyond. And we'll link everything in the
• 23:15
  description where people can find it and buy it and follow
• 23:18
  you and all that jazz. Cool.
• 23:19
  Thank you. And just a quick shout out to
• 23:22
  PMP quick copy for helping me this.
• 23:28
  Nice. Yeah, looking forward to more
• 23:33
  issues and doing some more music.
• 23:35
  And thank you for the interview. I I always enjoy it.
• 23:38
  Yeah, man, always a pleasure. We'll have you back sometime
• 23:40
  soon for some fun stuff too. Thanks so much.
• 23:42
  See you. Take care.
