theclassicmetalshow.com from caught up
0:26
in the gears of application that is brand new super joint the
0:29
name of that tune was

0:33
of us it is the one
0:35
the only the legend himself mr philip anselmo philip how are
0:38
you my friend doing
0:40
SPEAKER_01: good big brother and you forgot to add in the infamous philip anselmo
0:45
SPEAKER_03: The infamous?
0:48
SPEAKER_03: Well, certainly your last year says a lot about that, wouldn't you say?
0:51
SPEAKER_01: You know, whatever they say.
0:56
SPEAKER_03: I hear you, man.
0:57
SPEAKER_03: Well,
0:58
SPEAKER_03: dude,
0:59
SPEAKER_03: first off,
0:59
SPEAKER_03: man,
1:00
SPEAKER_03: I gotta give you props immediately for weathering the storm,
1:06
SPEAKER_03: because obviously there's a ton of it for the last six months or so.
1:10
SPEAKER_03: But not only did you take all of it and you handled it,
1:13
SPEAKER_03: you know,
1:13
SPEAKER_03: like a man,
1:14
SPEAKER_03: more or less,
1:15
SPEAKER_03: but...
1:16
you put out two great records at the same time you didn't let
1:19
it tear you down you
1:19
have the great super joint record you have the great scour
1:22
record man so bravo to
1:23
you oh well that's much appreciated and uh man that's all I
1:30
love working on
1:31
different projects and funny enough that scour record I there
1:36
was zero expectation
1:39
SPEAKER_01: on my end of how people would uh take that record uh
1:45
not to make this a scour interview or anything like that I know
1:49
we're supposed to
1:49
be talking about Superjoy but really that came together so fast
1:55
honestly it was two
1:56
emails next thing I know I'm in a band and I just took some
2:02
time nailed the vocals
2:08
SPEAKER_01: and it was a very quick process really and
2:14
next thing you know it's like people are talking about it I'm
2:17
like wow so that was
2:19
a delightful surprise but yeah super joy man all I can say is
2:30
you know when you
2:31
have a band like that and you take off so many years and
2:35
whatnot all you can do is
2:38
SPEAKER_01: come back and be as true to the sound
2:43
and the style of the band as possible and I think that we
2:49
really did that and I
2:55
guess even oh dare I say innovated just a bit you know just to
3:05
grow a little bit as
3:06
SPEAKER_01: a band and I think it was a fun record to make
3:11
SPEAKER_03: Sure,
3:11
SPEAKER_03: and it does have some different styles,
3:13
SPEAKER_03: you know,
3:14
SPEAKER_03: for me anyway,
3:15
SPEAKER_03: who's a fan of Super Joint.
3:17
SPEAKER_03: It seems,
3:18
SPEAKER_03: and tell me that I'm wrong or whatever,
3:20
SPEAKER_03: but it seems like you did take a little bit more risks,
3:24
SPEAKER_03: you know,
3:25
SPEAKER_03: as far as yourself vocally a little bit,
3:27
and it also seemed like there's a little bit more punk element
3:31
than on the first
3:32
SPEAKER_03: two records than,
3:33
SPEAKER_03: you know,
3:33
SPEAKER_03: with this one.
3:35
SPEAKER_01: Well, there was always a hardcore element to...
3:42
superjoyed you know like it's more of an attitude thing taken
3:48
from all of us older
3:52
SPEAKER_01: guys influences and the bands that we loved
4:01
and I do agree that case in point the second super joint record
4:06
was very very I
4:09
guess thrashy more heavy metal and I think with this one we
4:15
wanted to go back you
4:17
know to our hardcore roots so to speak and but you know there's
4:27
always elements of
4:29
SPEAKER_01: heavy metal
4:30
within super joints so it's all gonna be there and as far as
4:34
risks vocally I'm not
4:37
SPEAKER_01: quite sure what you mean by that but it's you know you are the expert
4:44
I am just the meager artist and that's your interpretation my
4:49
good friend sure I
4:51
hear you man well dude let's pick it apart a little bit what
4:56
does the title of the
4:58
album mean and I know that's a really shitty radio question to
5:02
ask but for the life
5:04
of me I can't figure out what that is supposed to mean if
5:07
anything well we are
5:11
SPEAKER_01: living in uh
5:13
a different world today you know as far as a musicians go and
5:20
public figures go and
5:23
you mix that with the internet you mix that with comment
5:28
sections you mix that with
5:29
Facebook you mix that with every platform given to anybody and
5:36
everybody and yes we
5:38
SPEAKER_01: are in a
5:43
a new world I'll say and I guess it takes some adaptation to
5:55
this new world for a
5:58
lot of people and especially a lot of people that you know have
6:06
gosh harsh senses
6:07
SPEAKER_01: of humor or
6:10
loose tongues or whatever you know it's like you know
6:16
everything you say is picked
6:18
apart and a lot of you know comments or whatever beliefs or
6:32
reactions or knee jerk
6:34
SPEAKER_01: reactions that people get to type up anonymously
6:40
and you know to me there's a disconnect there or I don't quite
6:49
know how to put it
6:50
but it's being caught up in the gears of application it's
6:57
living life in the 2000
7:02
SPEAKER_01: teens if you will you know it's only going to get
7:08
SPEAKER_01: the way it's gonna get even deeper into the future.
7:13
Is it frustrating for you and you certainly polarizing figure
7:19
and you know that but
7:20
is it frustrating for you that everybody forgets that in the
7:24
end you're just a dude
7:25
and you know we all say stupid shit I do you do everybody you
7:29
know does but because
7:31
you're in the public eye people somehow take that as like
7:36
reality instead of you
7:38
SPEAKER_03: know just fucking around no?
7:40
well yeah and I would also say to any critic out there you know
7:46
that has you know
7:49
terrible things to say about me okay you know hey look I owned
7:55
that moment I owned
7:58
the moment and it was a dumb move on my part because I've dealt
8:07
with hecklers
8:08
SPEAKER_01: before
8:10
and basically I was showing the ugly I was playing a part it
8:22
was an ugly gesture
8:23
and you know like I've said this before you know look if that
8:31
joke is not funny
8:33
SPEAKER_01: anymore it's worn it's welcome out then so be it I can grow as well
8:39
and look if I truly truly upset anyone with that gesture and
8:52
those two words then
8:55
you know my apology is sincere but then there's the flip side
9:02
where I get the
9:06
SPEAKER_01: feeling that
9:09
if you look through a certain lens long enough and you're
9:17
desperately trying to
9:19
spot something you're going to eventually find it no matter
9:25
what it is no matter
9:28
SPEAKER_01: how vague it may be you're going to find something me
9:38
I was blatant and doing what I did on purpose but with a sense
9:46
of humor behind it
9:49
and anyone with a logical mind knows knows for a damn fact that
9:58
my love extends to
10:01
SPEAKER_01: every person in this
10:06
crazy world of all colors creeds kinds shapes sizes sexual
10:13
preference you name it
10:15
I'm for you baby I'm on your side I just I think that you know
10:25
sometimes these
10:29
SPEAKER_01: certain people that do look through these lenses perhaps
10:38
and maybe this is just speculation but perhaps like they used
10:44
to say on the
10:45
schoolyard it takes one to know one or maybe the fact that
10:55
you're looking through
10:56
SPEAKER_01: this lens is kind of showing who you are as well so
11:03
SPEAKER_01: You know, enough of this and enough of that, you know.
11:08
SPEAKER_01: I own it.
11:10
SPEAKER_01: I apologize.
11:11
SPEAKER_01: My apology was sincere.
11:13
SPEAKER_01: You can look it up.
11:16
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, we can continue talking about music if you feel like.

12:00
band that you added a
12:01
SPEAKER_03: whole new rhythm section to
12:04
SPEAKER_03: to the band from the last time we heard from the band 13 years ago.
12:08
SPEAKER_03: You know, how did the new guys come in and how'd they fit?
12:12
SPEAKER_01: Well,
12:12
SPEAKER_01: I mean,
12:13
SPEAKER_01: you know,
12:13
they're really not new guys for me or anybody else that has
12:19
been paying attention,
12:20
SPEAKER_01: but Jose Manuel Gonzalez,
12:24
SPEAKER_01: better known as Blue,
12:25
SPEAKER_01: is the drummer for Warbeast and he plays
12:29
with me in The Illegals and he plays with me now in Superjoint
12:34
and we do all kinds
12:35
of projects together and he's great to work with but also man
12:41
tremendous props to
12:43
Steve Taylor who has become my right hand man as far as jamming
12:50
goes just as much
12:52
SPEAKER_01: as Jimmy Bauer you know and really Steve brings a lot to the table
12:58
and you know it's not really unlike other bands you know
13:03
everybody's quick to say
13:04
oh it's a different band but you know take a look around and
13:11
you know a lot of
13:13
bands have been through a lot of changes take a look at the top
13:16
top guys you know
13:18
Slayer Metallica etc etc etc have had different players and
13:22
bands you know for
13:24
SPEAKER_01: various reasons and then some
13:28
tragic sum just because and then you know it happens and just
13:42
to make sure
13:43
everybody's clear on this one as well I did get a huge thumbs
13:50
up and a big big big
13:52
SPEAKER_01: blessing before we moved forward with this record
13:58
from Hank Hank the third Sheldon you know he was like man I'd
14:03
love to be there I'd
14:04
love to be playing in the band but you know if you take a look
14:08
at Hank you know the
14:10
guy does and has been well let's say shit he's been working his
14:16
ass off to build
14:19
SPEAKER_01: his brand to build you know Hank the third and all the stuff that he does
14:28
extremely hard so you know he's dealing with all of that stuff
14:32
but we got his
14:33
blessing and therefore was a lot more comfortable to move
14:37
forward and here we are
14:39
SPEAKER_01: talking about it sure
14:42
and the thing with the new record is I don't think it's gonna I
14:46
don't think you're
14:46
gonna win any any new fans necessarily but you're sure not
14:50
gonna lose any either
14:51
man it is such a you know it is the punch in the face that you
14:55
expect pretty much
14:56
with anything you do well I would hope so you know and I'm not
15:01
really worried about
15:02
I'm never worried about winning new fans nor losing fans you
15:08
know music is music
15:10
and I make all kinds of music and it's supposed to be different
15:16
each band is
15:17
supposed to sound different each band is supposed to reach a
15:22
certain ear whether
15:25
it's whether they like the genre or not or whether they love a
15:30
certain genre you
15:31
know so yeah like I've said a million times music is like food
15:37
you either love it
15:38
SPEAKER_01: hate it or you're
15:40
SPEAKER_01: totally indifferent to it but this is just another chapter so bring it on
15:46
absolutely man so I'm assuming you're going to get to tour this
15:49
for a while so
15:50
what's that look like it's looking like a record release show
15:56
on the 11th in Dallas
15:57
Texas and it's looking like maybe next year hitting the road
16:04
doing some shows
16:05
SPEAKER_03: Very cool.
16:06
SPEAKER_03: Where does that leave the various other things?
16:09
SPEAKER_03: Down, Scour, The Illegals?
16:11
SPEAKER_03: Where are all those at right now?
16:14
SPEAKER_01: Scour's going to be doing shows here and there.
16:18
We're playing in Norway in January at BlastFest and we are let
16:27
me think we got an
16:28
SPEAKER_01: offer to play Hellfest that's a
16:33
ongoing discussion I'm not sure I talked to Pepper Keenan
16:40
yesterday and just right
16:44
now he's going through a whole lot and he's also wrapped up
16:48
with COC and they're
16:51
doing well he's happy there but we also realize that we have a
16:56
commitment with down
16:58
SPEAKER_01: so
16:59
We made that very clear with each other He is my brother
17:05
Forever Everything is
17:09
SPEAKER_01: alive,
17:10
so to speak It's just making room for each other's loves and
17:18
different pursuits of
17:19
SPEAKER_01: music That's been the guy I've been for years
17:28
and that's been the group of guys that I've had around me for
17:31
years we're all from
17:33
different bands and when it's time to make room for each other
17:39
we do that and
17:41
that's just how it rolls let's talk about one place that you
17:45
did make room that was
17:46
new talk a little bit about you stepping in for Mike over and
17:52
playing one or two I
17:55
SPEAKER_03: Hate God shows
17:56
Yeah man I don't feel like it's my place to really talk too
18:02
terribly much about
18:05
Mike but he is having a medical condition that is being worked
18:12
on right now and all
18:16
I can say is one day things are looking good the next day
18:20
things are looking grim
18:21
SPEAKER_01: and
18:25
just all of everybody everyone in the entire scene here in New
18:32
Orleans and I'm sure
18:33
around the world you know are sending good vibes to Mike and he
18:39
deserves them man
18:40
he's a super talented guy I've known I Hate God since their
18:45
inception and I was
18:47
very honored to take his place and those were very fun shows to
18:51
do sure excellent
18:53
