Get your sound. 00:00:17.179 --> 00:00:20.160 Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape, a podcast that 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.079 takes the classic mixtape approach. to building 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.620 a modern playlist. I'm your host, Brian Colburn. 00:00:25.739 --> 00:00:28.600 With this year's concert season heating up, I'm 00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.600 excited to kick off a new style of My Weekly 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:34.539 Mixtape episode. And joining me for this inaugural 00:00:34.539 --> 00:00:38.240 discussion is the incredible C .J. Pierce of 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.299 Jarning Pool. C .J., welcome to the show, my 00:00:40.299 --> 00:00:42.179 friend. Hey, what's happening, Brian? Thanks 00:00:42.179 --> 00:00:44.719 for having me. Since this is your first time 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:47.000 on My Weekly Mixtape, I'd like to start by asking 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.100 you my first -time guest question, which is... 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.359 What does the word mixtape mean to you? The word 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.100 mixtape? Yes, sir. I was making mixtapes back 00:00:57.100 --> 00:00:58.899 in the day with my, you know, I still have my 00:00:58.899 --> 00:01:02.380 cassette tapes, man. No, it's just, you know, 00:01:02.380 --> 00:01:04.040 putting your favorite songs on it back in the 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:05.819 day, you know, especially with me, I went and 00:01:05.819 --> 00:01:07.519 dated all of it, had albums and cassette tapes 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:09.500 came out. It was a new hot thing. But, you know, 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:10.959 your different favorite songs from your favorite 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.280 bands, you put them all together on one tape 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.579 or it's high school and you like some lady like, 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.180 hey, I made you this mixtape. Check out my jams. 00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:20.799 There you go. Well, as I teased at the top of 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:22.760 the episode, tonight's discussion is something 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:24.859 I haven't done before. And I'm really excited 00:01:24.859 --> 00:01:28.280 to see where this leads, because during the playlist 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.019 curation episodes of my weekly mixtape, guests 00:01:31.019 --> 00:01:34.739 and I build mixtapes or playlists based on that 00:01:34.739 --> 00:01:38.040 episode's band or theme. But tonight we're taking 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.599 a new spin on that. And while we're still talking 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.489 kind of playlists, there's a twist. And CJ, that 00:01:44.489 --> 00:01:47.409 is if I were to give you carte blanche to build 00:01:47.409 --> 00:01:51.269 your own set list for your ultimate concert featuring 00:01:51.269 --> 00:01:56.609 any bands, any songs, any eras, zero limitation. 00:01:56.930 --> 00:01:59.370 Right. That's what we're going to explore tonight. 00:01:59.489 --> 00:02:03.250 But before we do that, as someone who's been 00:02:03.250 --> 00:02:05.890 a part of putting together drowning pool set 00:02:05.890 --> 00:02:09.090 lists night after night for the last several 00:02:09.090 --> 00:02:12.080 decades. What would you say the art of building 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.300 the perfect concert set list is? For us, man, 00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:18.280 you know, as of late, the last few years, especially 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:19.699 having Ryan McCombs back in the band, we've kind 00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:21.379 of taken more of the Grateful Dead approach where 00:02:21.379 --> 00:02:23.699 we have kind of a sort of a guideline list, if 00:02:23.699 --> 00:02:26.680 you will. But we'll be on stage and somebody 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:28.620 will call out a different song. Or, you know, 00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:30.139 it's like tonight, the vibe kind of feels like 00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:31.800 this. So instead of doing this one song, we'll 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:33.379 do another one. We kind of huddle up and get 00:02:33.379 --> 00:02:35.780 on stage and just keep it natural and organic 00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:37.620 like that. You know, there's always some staples 00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:40.480 in it, of course, that's in the set list. But 00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:42.280 it's always somewhat of a little bit of a challenge, 00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:44.280 but we work great together. We kind of put it 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.120 together as a band as a whole. And again, even 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:47.860 when we have the set list together, we'll go 00:02:47.860 --> 00:02:50.020 on stage and we'll still sometimes we'll just 00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:51.520 play something else or something we haven't played 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.800 in five years. Like, hey, let's just play this 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.860 one tonight. Really? All right, here we go. So 00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:58.039 it keeps it fun for us, especially for fans. 00:02:58.060 --> 00:03:00.400 We have a lot of fans, especially on stage. Sometimes 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.020 we'll travel to two or three different shows. 00:03:02.340 --> 00:03:04.319 So you definitely get something a little different 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.419 every night. So it's not the same. You know, 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.669 we're not like Maritou. a click and all this 00:03:08.669 --> 00:03:10.289 program stuff. We're pretty much four guys just 00:03:10.289 --> 00:03:12.509 plugging and playing. Well, as someone who's 00:03:12.509 --> 00:03:14.990 seen Drowning Pool several times over the years, 00:03:15.030 --> 00:03:17.990 I know there's a lot of different eras of this 00:03:17.990 --> 00:03:21.710 band. How do you at least attempt to strike a 00:03:21.710 --> 00:03:24.729 balance between the contributions from Dave, 00:03:24.770 --> 00:03:28.090 Jason Jones, Ryan, and Jason Moreno's 10 years 00:03:28.090 --> 00:03:30.729 with the band? Yeah, it's pretty wild. Ryan's 00:03:30.729 --> 00:03:32.310 been great with that. You know, we would definitely 00:03:32.310 --> 00:03:33.930 play songs from different eras and different 00:03:33.930 --> 00:03:37.060 singers. you know that's something you know everyone's 00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:39.539 kind of had to step in since dave williams and 00:03:39.539 --> 00:03:41.939 uh you know you know we pay you know respect 00:03:41.939 --> 00:03:44.080 to dave williams doing a lot of songs at the 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.259 center record but uh ryan's been great doing 00:03:46.259 --> 00:03:48.120 stuff you know we do some songs that we have 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.400 with jason gong jones and some stuff with um 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.819 jason moreno so the jasons so and again we mix 00:03:53.819 --> 00:03:56.020 it up especially per tour or per night you know 00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:57.360 we're always trying to bring something fresh 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.300 into the set list for if it was me i like to 00:03:59.300 --> 00:04:00.939 play them all yeah i'll sit up stage all night 00:04:00.939 --> 00:04:03.280 long seven hours and go for it but um We have 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.840 that time window. We got to fit it all in. There's 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.659 only so many songs, right? Yeah. Now, before 00:04:08.659 --> 00:04:10.879 we get to your ultimate concert set list, I'd 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.740 like to remind listeners that if you like what 00:04:12.740 --> 00:04:14.819 you're hearing on my weekly mixtape, you can 00:04:14.819 --> 00:04:16.519 help me out by either telling a friend about 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.879 the show, leaving the show a five -star review 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.560 wherever you're tuning in, or by becoming a Patreon 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.860 mixtape or a patreon .com forward slash. myweeklymixtape. 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.480 There you can find ad -free episodes of the show, 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.360 gain early access to upcoming episodes, chime 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.720 in on future topics, become a guest curator, 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.379 and so much more.

Now, CJ, even though you're 00:04:41.899 --> 00:04:44.639 not crafting a drowning pool set list tonight, 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.879 the pressure's still kind of on because you're 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.069 now in the audience, and you're gonna... Explain 00:04:51.069 --> 00:04:54.050 to the My Weekly Mixtape listeners the ultimate 00:04:54.050 --> 00:04:58.430 C .J. Pierce concert. 12 songs, 12 different 00:04:58.430 --> 00:05:02.389 artists. The sky's the limit. So the magical 00:05:02.389 --> 00:05:05.370 moment hits. The lights cut out. You're in the 00:05:05.370 --> 00:05:08.129 front row. The energy's through the roof. Who 00:05:08.129 --> 00:05:10.949 is the first artist or band to take the stage? 00:05:11.170 --> 00:05:15.269 And what song is opening up your ultimate concert? 00:05:15.910 --> 00:05:19.019 Well, I'm going to go off of... There was Lollapalooza 00:05:19.019 --> 00:05:22.300 back in like 92, 93, 94. And that left a big 00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:24.199 impression on me, man. It was all these bands 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.000 playing. There's this band called Rage Against 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.220 the Machine I've never heard of. Tool goes on 00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:30.639 second, right? So it's like, you know, it's this 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.040 new, you know, Alice in Chains were headlining. 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.160 I think Primus was up there at the time as well. 00:05:35.540 --> 00:05:38.519 So for me, it's, you know, the first time I saw 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.899 Rage and they came out and they played Killing 00:05:40.899 --> 00:05:42.660 in the Name of and it just, I was there with 00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:43.920 my friends, my high school friends, and we just 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.860 went apeshit crazy nuts, man. It was awesome. 00:05:46.329 --> 00:05:48.110 So that song, you know, still to this day, just 00:05:48.110 --> 00:05:50.110 brings the energy to have some some like, you 00:05:50.110 --> 00:05:52.170 know, the opening band right back in 94. Look 00:05:52.170 --> 00:05:54.689 at him now, man. Just amazing. Still, you know, 00:05:54.689 --> 00:05:56.850 bringing the hits. That song gets me going every 00:05:56.850 --> 00:06:00.089 time, man. Oh, easily one of my favorite albums 00:06:00.089 --> 00:06:02.529 of the 90s. And when it comes to heavier music. 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.160 It's definitely a top 10 for me. I don't think, 00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:07.759 honestly, you could have rattled off any track 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.019 from the self -titled Rage Against, you could 00:06:10.019 --> 00:06:13.860 have said bomb track, freedom, any song. And 00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:16.360 I would be like, yes, I agree with that. Perfect. 00:06:16.579 --> 00:06:19.339 Like what a way to open things up and to get 00:06:19.339 --> 00:06:21.560 the crowd in the palm of your hand. Yeah. It's 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.259 hard to pick one from any of these artists, but 00:06:23.259 --> 00:06:25.560 yeah, that one just, you know, the attitude in 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:27.699 that song is, you know, just that it just drilled 00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:29.899 into you and just the energy, the riffs, man, 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.579 just everybody's jumping at every freaking song 00:06:31.579 --> 00:06:35.399 out of Rage Against. All right, so the crowd 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:40.100 now has that opening number. Where do we go for 00:06:40.100 --> 00:06:42.839 the second song of the night? So I went for this 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.680 song, second song of the night, again, following 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.860 with, again, some of my first experiences going 00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:48.379 to concerts and just seeing these amazing bands. 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.920 And again, the second band on that one, and I'll 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.279 get away from the structure here, is Tool. And 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:54.899 I can pick anything from Tool. I mean, it was 00:06:54.899 --> 00:06:56.970 the first record when they did that tour. But 00:06:56.970 --> 00:06:58.529 there's something about the pot. I still love 00:06:58.529 --> 00:07:00.689 this song. I'm known for playing guitar, but 00:07:00.689 --> 00:07:02.189 I play bass. I play a lot of different instruments. 00:07:02.449 --> 00:07:05.269 And as of late, in between doing stuff with Drowning 00:07:05.269 --> 00:07:07.610 Pool, my wife and I would go out and just do 00:07:07.610 --> 00:07:10.250 a couple cover songs at the local bar here. So 00:07:10.250 --> 00:07:12.089 we just started playing the pot recently. So 00:07:12.089 --> 00:07:14.089 it's just a fun song to play. All the songs are 00:07:14.089 --> 00:07:16.329 amazing. Anything from Tool is amazing. But that 00:07:16.329 --> 00:07:18.470 one, just the technical art to that one. And 00:07:18.470 --> 00:07:20.430 it's another song that just has this head groove 00:07:20.430 --> 00:07:22.970 jam to it. It just gets me pumped up. Have you 00:07:22.970 --> 00:07:25.810 seen them recently in the last several runs where 00:07:25.810 --> 00:07:28.889 they do the no phone policy at the shows? Yeah, 00:07:28.930 --> 00:07:31.970 I think that's great. I'm all for it. We saw 00:07:31.970 --> 00:07:35.410 the 2019 tour and when the lights went out and 00:07:35.410 --> 00:07:38.350 the arena was pitch dark, I elbowed my buddy 00:07:38.350 --> 00:07:40.850 and said, when's the last time you've seen this? 00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:44.029 And he said, at least two decades. And it was 00:07:44.029 --> 00:07:46.439 such a moment for us. Yeah, I mean, they put 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:47.779 on such a great show. They put a lot of time 00:07:47.779 --> 00:07:49.980 into the artistry, just the whole backdrop. And 00:07:49.980 --> 00:07:52.660 it's the experience. So, I mean, you know, nobody 00:07:52.660 --> 00:07:55.360 likes to be told what to do. And again, I come 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:56.680 from the generation that didn't even have these 00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:57.980 phones at the time. And it's great to capture 00:07:57.980 --> 00:08:00.100 all that. And the last song, they do say, go 00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:02.439 ahead and videotape. But I think he did it in 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:03.800 the right way where, you know, it's like, look, 00:08:03.939 --> 00:08:05.779 you came here, you bought the ticket, you know, 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:08.079 just enjoy the show. And then after that, you 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.079 get back on your phone, man. So, I mean, I'm, 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:11.680 you know, to each his own, but that's definitely 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:13.579 an art -type band, and you don't want to miss, 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:14.839 I don't want to miss any of it. So I've seen 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:16.240 them on every single tour. We did some shows 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.060 with them in the past. So, you know, I get another 00:08:19.060 --> 00:08:20.120 one of those bands where you can just listen 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.540 to anything and nothing. That's cool. It's awesome. 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.139 Like, ACDC gave me another background, and it's 00:08:25.139 --> 00:08:27.899 not a bad song. 100%. Now, when Drowning Pool 00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:30.399 is out on the road, do you guys have a preference 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.720 when it comes to cell phones in the crowd? I 00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.220 always ask people to pull them out, especially 00:08:34.220 --> 00:08:36.940 when we play Tearaway. Brian actually... has 00:08:36.940 --> 00:08:38.559 everybody pull out and put lights up on their 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.600 phone. Man, we just did, we just got off tour 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.840 with Godsmack and P .O .D. It was a lot of awesome 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.740 shows in Europe and sold out arena shows and 00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:47.399 everybody pulls out their phone to put the light, 00:08:47.419 --> 00:08:49.679 the lighter up instead of like you're filming 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.559 it or whatever. But when you see all of it, it's 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.200 pitch black when we start the song and just see 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.480 all the lights on from the phones. It's like 00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:56.960 the old school lighter kind of effect, if you 00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.100 will. So, hey, people keep in mind to have a 00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:01.000 good time, man. Do whatever you want. Go watch 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.460 the show. Call your mom. I'm cool. You know what 00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:06.309 I mean? Putting the cell phone light on is a 00:09:06.309 --> 00:09:08.529 hell of a lot easier than back in the eighties 00:09:08.529 --> 00:09:10.250 and nineties when you had the lighter, because 00:09:10.250 --> 00:09:12.190 I mean, how many times did you burn your thumb? 00:09:12.490 --> 00:09:15.090 I mean, come on. I'll put the letters up and 00:09:15.090 --> 00:09:16.870 that's it. But so it works and it looks really 00:09:16.870 --> 00:09:18.769 cool, man. And we got a lot of cool video and 00:09:18.769 --> 00:09:20.789 shots from that. So I love that aspect of it. 00:09:20.850 --> 00:09:22.450 You know, we try to, you know, it's a rock show, 00:09:22.529 --> 00:09:24.929 man. We just all have to have a good time. Amen. 00:09:25.549 --> 00:09:28.389 All right. So we have a one, two Lollapalooza 00:09:28.389 --> 00:09:31.049 punch here. Where are we going for track three? 00:09:31.570 --> 00:09:34.970 Track three. All right. Let me think here. I'm 00:09:34.970 --> 00:09:39.529 looking through. Oh, man. I love so many freaking 00:09:39.529 --> 00:09:41.590 bands. All right. So there's another band that 00:09:41.590 --> 00:09:43.990 I absolutely love. And the first time I saw it, 00:09:44.049 --> 00:09:46.529 it's Korn. I have a song from Korn. And Korn 00:09:46.529 --> 00:09:48.470 has shown me, again, I'm all about the intensity 00:09:48.470 --> 00:09:50.230 and the jam. And they have so many heavy songs. 00:09:50.409 --> 00:09:52.590 And another band, I've seen them on every single 00:09:52.590 --> 00:09:55.549 album tour. We play with them. But this song, 00:09:55.590 --> 00:09:57.269 Alone I Break, that they have. There's something 00:09:57.269 --> 00:09:59.750 about that song. It's just, it's off the beating 00:09:59.750 --> 00:10:02.509 path for them. But it's heavy in its own, like. 00:10:02.970 --> 00:10:05.350 it's got this mid -tempo like creepy vibe to 00:10:05.350 --> 00:10:07.889 it but uh it's just intense without the music 00:10:07.889 --> 00:10:10.610 being just in your face intense it just gets 00:10:10.610 --> 00:10:12.470 me like that for some strange reason is it's 00:10:12.470 --> 00:10:14.909 probably one of their slower songs um but just 00:10:14.909 --> 00:10:17.110 something about that song man it just grabs me 00:10:17.110 --> 00:10:19.169 it's just as hard as like everything else that 00:10:19.169 --> 00:10:21.370 they have that's heavy going with something off 00:10:21.370 --> 00:10:24.629 of untouchables is such an interesting pick it's 00:10:24.629 --> 00:10:27.090 an underrated corn album if you ask me overall 00:10:27.950 --> 00:10:30.789 And sadly, Alone I Break is just one of those 00:10:30.789 --> 00:10:33.149 songs that the band, I don't want to say abandoned, 00:10:33.230 --> 00:10:35.669 but in the beginning, they tried playing it a 00:10:35.669 --> 00:10:37.110 couple of times live and then it kind of just 00:10:37.110 --> 00:10:40.210 dropped off. I'm catching one of the dates at 00:10:40.210 --> 00:10:42.809 MetLife Stadium in New Jersey this fall with 00:10:42.809 --> 00:10:45.450 System of a Down. Yeah, nice. I would love to 00:10:45.450 --> 00:10:47.809 see them brush this off, man. This is such, it 00:10:47.809 --> 00:10:50.789 makes this set so dynamic. Right, it's just one 00:10:50.789 --> 00:10:52.809 of those, it just, it puts you in that mind frame. 00:10:52.929 --> 00:10:55.139 Like you are here, you slam and. you're having 00:10:55.139 --> 00:10:56.919 a great time playing all the bangers, all the 00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:58.799 jammers. And then it's like, just that song just 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:00.419 has this vibe. It's still heavy, but just has 00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:02.399 that vibe to it. Almost like, what song is it 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.159 from Deftones that they play all the time? It's 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.080 just one of those songs that just sets, that 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:08.700 just kind of connects everybody to a different 00:11:08.700 --> 00:11:11.580 vibe. You thinking like Digital Bath here? Yeah, 00:11:11.620 --> 00:11:13.080 something like that, man. Like there's a few 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:15.080 songs at Deftones that just go off into like 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:16.799 this kind of mellow kind of part and they come 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:18.139 back because, you know, another band is super 00:11:18.139 --> 00:11:22.799 heavy. Of course. All right. We've got Rage Against 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.580 the Machine. Tool. Korn, I'm catching a vibe 00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:28.759 here. Where are we going for track four? All 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:30.399 right, track four. We're going to go straight 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.379 to heavy on this one, man. I've always been a 00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:36.100 Slipknot fan. Nice. We were touring with them 00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:38.080 once. I was in the pit. Because at that time, 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:39.759 early on, I was still going out there and getting 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:41.820 nuts. And I got totally trampled. Almost couldn't 00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:45.419 play the show the next day. Oh, man. So everyone's 00:11:45.419 --> 00:11:47.019 like, dude, you can't be out in the pit for Slipknot. 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.100 We've got to put on a show as well. So that's 00:11:49.100 --> 00:11:51.440 kind of when I slacked off on jumping out, going 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.440 crazy in the pit days, if you will. But yeah, 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.580 dude, Duality, I love all their songs, but that's 00:11:56.580 --> 00:11:58.000 another one of those songs, like, if I'm getting 00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:59.700 ready to go out and do something, I want to get 00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:01.759 pumped up. Even sometimes before we go on stage, 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:04.179 man, we'll stick Duality on and just go nuts 00:12:04.179 --> 00:12:08.179 to that song. So it's a jammer. Oh, it is. I've 00:12:08.179 --> 00:12:11.120 had the chance to catch Slipknot many times over 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:14.860 the years, and I'm so glad to have this song 00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:17.059 in the fold, because then I might catch some 00:12:17.059 --> 00:12:20.379 slack. from rabid Slipknot fans here, as much 00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:24.120 as I love the heaviness of the self -titled and 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:29.159 of Iowa, obviously. Volume three is such a sweet 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.220 spot for me musically in terms of heft and a 00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:35.059 melodic side of the band. And I think it's such 00:12:35.059 --> 00:12:38.000 a balance. And I just love the fact that this 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:39.980 was the song choice because it's got all the 00:12:39.980 --> 00:12:43.000 heft that you expect from Slipknot. But there's 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:47.160 also this, I don't want to say. accessibility 00:12:47.160 --> 00:12:49.480 to it, but it's something that, even if you're 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.639 not a rabid Slipknot fan, I feel like it's a 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:53.879 gateway drug that could really bring you into 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.240 the world of their music. Yeah, it's just one 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.440 of the, you know, another one of those just jamming 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.240 tunes that just grab and get you going, no matter 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:02.299 who you are. When that comes on, it's just like, 00:13:02.299 --> 00:13:04.419 wait, you know, like, oh, shit, my parents, ah, 00:13:04.620 --> 00:13:07.159 this is the only thing that, ah, you know, I've 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.139 been slamming. It's just great. Is this what 00:13:09.139 --> 00:13:11.279 I think it is? Yes. I think I'm going to use 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.899 this whole set list before we go on stage every 00:13:12.899 --> 00:13:14.460 night. This is, I like it. I like where we're 00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:16.080 going. I mean, it's... Again, picking some of 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.019 my favorite tunes. I was going to say, I think 00:13:18.019 --> 00:13:19.940 you should. And if Drowning Pool ever decides 00:13:19.940 --> 00:13:23.639 to do a cover songs album, so far, I think this 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.240 would kick a lot of ass. Yeah, some of these 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.460 I have covered. I just played Killing the Name 00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:33.659 Of with Leo Marocchioli over in Italy this past 00:13:33.659 --> 00:13:35.500 couple weeks ago in the middle of a tour. We 00:13:35.500 --> 00:13:37.399 had the one day off from tour with Godsmack, 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.440 and he was playing in the same town. So I went 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.019 out to a show and just jumped on stage and played 00:13:41.019 --> 00:13:43.690 Killing the Name Of with him. Awesome. From what 00:13:43.690 --> 00:13:45.509 I remember, I know I was pretty lit, but I had 00:13:45.509 --> 00:13:49.049 a great time with it. Well, what do we have now 00:13:49.049 --> 00:13:51.509 for track five coming out of Slipknot? Coming 00:13:51.509 --> 00:13:53.889 out of Slipknot, you know, I grew up Pantera, 00:13:54.070 --> 00:13:57.049 friends and family with Dom and Vinny and Rex 00:13:57.049 --> 00:13:59.769 and Phil. But it was a hard choice to pick a 00:13:59.769 --> 00:14:01.490 favorite one because, dude, I love all of them. 00:14:01.549 --> 00:14:03.110 You know, we do cover Cowboys from Hell sometimes, 00:14:03.250 --> 00:14:04.850 you know, to play Walk. I always stay up on my 00:14:04.850 --> 00:14:07.169 chops on these songs. But, you know, I was thinking 00:14:07.169 --> 00:14:09.210 long and hard about it. My first time when I 00:14:09.210 --> 00:14:10.610 really heard the first impression that it had. 00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:12.679 When I first listened to Cowboys from Hell and 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:15.960 when Domination came on, it's just so freaking 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.100 heavy. It's like the riff is like punching somebody 00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:21.340 in the face. And then the freaking solo on that 00:14:21.340 --> 00:14:23.919 thing. I mean, all dime solos are just genius. 00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:26.519 But to sum up that Domination, man, that was 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.080 one of the songs that I was still learning how 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:30.759 to play guitar and getting to my chops. It was 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:32.100 one of those things that once I heard that, I'm 00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:33.860 like, made you want to put it down. Be like, 00:14:34.019 --> 00:14:36.559 all right, you got it, man. Kings of Metal. You 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:38.580 won. Without a doubt. But it's an influence, 00:14:38.779 --> 00:14:41.669 man. I could definitely hear that. And I want 00:14:41.669 --> 00:14:43.950 to bring up a memory of Drowning Pool that I 00:14:43.950 --> 00:14:46.529 have. And I'm going to go all the way back to 00:14:46.529 --> 00:14:51.149 2001 on the Ozzfest tour. I was at the Home Dell, 00:14:51.269 --> 00:14:54.250 New Jersey show at the PNC Bank Arts Center, 00:14:54.330 --> 00:14:59.070 which around here, when people mention 2001 Ozzfest, 00:14:59.230 --> 00:15:02.210 it's infamous because it was the Papa Roach mud 00:15:02.210 --> 00:15:06.830 throwing incident. Right. On that same day, I 00:15:06.830 --> 00:15:09.659 caught former guest on the show. Brian Scott 00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:12.240 of union underground, obviously drowning pool 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.659 was on that bill mud vein. It was like a who's 00:15:14.659 --> 00:15:18.980 who of the new metal scene that year. And I don't 00:15:18.980 --> 00:15:21.340 know if it was the entire band, but during union 00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:24.559 underground set, I know Dave came out because 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.879 he was wearing a Texas flag wrapped around that. 00:15:26.899 --> 00:15:29.240 I'm not sure if you did as well, but there was 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:32.460 definitely a drowning pool and union underground 00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:35.059 collaboration of cowboys from hell. Can you kind 00:15:35.059 --> 00:15:37.120 of talk about how all that came together? yeah 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:38.759 that whole tour man that whole time was great 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.940 i remember pnc specifically as well man that 00:15:40.940 --> 00:15:44.539 place is awesome um yeah dave you know dave's 00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:46.059 it's you know dave stage was a nickname like 00:15:46.059 --> 00:15:48.000 he always jumped up one stage just about everybody 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.919 because he just loved to sing man he was all 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:52.159 about it and um yeah you're on the ground that's 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.440 that's why it's us the south texas you know we're 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.860 dallas and then down you know houston san antonio 00:15:56.860 --> 00:15:59.580 area so um friends and family for life dude these 00:15:59.580 --> 00:16:01.519 guys are still rocking out but yeah dave was 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.600 like that man we always want to Especially that 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:05.100 tour. It was so wild. We'd all jump on each other's 00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:07.299 stage and play a song with each other. Same thing 00:16:07.299 --> 00:16:09.799 with Elias and Nonpoint. We've done stuff with 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.039 them as well, the same kind of stuff. So it's 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:13.539 just awesome to have that band camaraderie, if 00:16:13.539 --> 00:16:15.279 you will, with all these bands. It's still to 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.580 this day. I just saw them not that long ago. 00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:19.620 You and Underground came through Dallas. Yeah, 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.639 I feel like the bands that came out of the early 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.620 2000s are very much a community. I really feel 00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:29.200 like there's a lot of love and a lot of respect 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:32.019 between all the bands, especially coming from 00:16:32.019 --> 00:16:35.340 even something very close to home for you in 00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:37.700 Drowning Pool is the fact that Ryan is able to 00:16:37.700 --> 00:16:40.679 balance his work with Soil as well as Drowning 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:42.919 Pool. Yeah, man, it's been a while, two years 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:44.659 for us, for all bands. And we're all friends 00:16:44.659 --> 00:16:45.919 and family like that. Again, you know, there 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.100 was in between us for after Ryan was with us 00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:49.379 for a year, you know, Soil did a tour and it 00:16:49.379 --> 00:16:51.480 came through Dallas. And it was fun for me because 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.039 I wasn't playing that night. I just got to sit 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:54.399 back and drink and watch the show, you know. 00:16:54.809 --> 00:16:56.909 And they did a kick -ass show. You know, I love 00:16:56.909 --> 00:16:58.649 Ryan's voice and soil. They do their style of 00:16:58.649 --> 00:17:00.330 thing and we do our style in the drowning pool. 00:17:00.450 --> 00:17:02.009 But you're right. It's like a family and friend 00:17:02.009 --> 00:17:03.549 vibe. You know, it's the same thing we just have 00:17:03.549 --> 00:17:06.109 with Godsmack and P .O .D. I love that it's like 00:17:06.109 --> 00:17:08.769 that, man. Everybody gets along from the crew 00:17:08.769 --> 00:17:12.170 to the band to just the whole production. So 00:17:12.170 --> 00:17:15.809 put on a rock show. Exactly. And we are at the 00:17:15.809 --> 00:17:18.430 halfway point of your ultimate concert. What 00:17:18.430 --> 00:17:22.519 is track six here? Track six. You know, not to 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.420 go back to the Lollapalooza thing, it's even 00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:26.619 before that. There's a place, I grew up in New 00:17:26.619 --> 00:17:29.079 Orleans, and it's a place called Tipitina's that 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.420 I saw a lot of bands in the 90s. That was kind 00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:33.799 of like the place to play. And I went and saw 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:35.700 Primus with a friend of mine before they had 00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:37.299 blown up. I mean, literally, the same thing with 00:17:37.299 --> 00:17:38.859 Korn. I saw Korn there when there was like 50 00:17:38.859 --> 00:17:42.079 people. You know, who is this band? Who is Primus? 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.480 I have to interrupt for one second because I 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:47.980 remember, and people don't believe this when 00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:50.519 I tell them this story, but my buddy... went 00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:54.819 to Maxwell's in Hoboken to catch Korn and Sugar 00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:58.799 Ray on a dual bill in the early 90s because Sugar 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:01.559 Ray's first album, Lemonade and Brownies, was 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:05.339 much more in line with nu metal and the rap rock 00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:08.039 sound that Korn was doing at the time. And the 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.619 bill made sense on paper. When I tell people 00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:12.339 about that show now, they look at me, they go, 00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:14.720 there's no way Sugar Ray and Korn toured together. 00:18:14.859 --> 00:18:17.599 I said, oh yeah. Yeah, it's the older stuff. 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.420 So he was always cool, man. You know, I hung 00:18:20.420 --> 00:18:23.240 out with him a while ago. But again, I don't 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:24.900 know what he's up to now, but I'll get peached 00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:27.160 again. Family and friends vibe. But yeah, dude, 00:18:27.259 --> 00:18:30.220 that just Primus, you know, just a whole nother 00:18:30.220 --> 00:18:32.339 sound at nuts. And there's that song, especially, 00:18:32.380 --> 00:18:34.740 you know, Jerry's race with our, just that riff 00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:36.420 on that. I mean, that slamming it's heavy as 00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:38.500 can be, but it's still got the funk groove to 00:18:38.500 --> 00:18:40.339 it. And of course, that's Claypool with his, 00:18:40.339 --> 00:18:42.700 with his wacky tone, man, just makes it fun, 00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:45.700 fun music. But dude, sick town to guys. When 00:18:45.700 --> 00:18:49.440 I talk about, favorite bass players on the planet. 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:52.819 My brain goes to Les Claypool. It goes to Billy 00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:56.519 Sheehan. It goes to Flea. But the magic and energy 00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:59.759 that Les brings to his performances, whether 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.940 it's Primus, the Flying Frog Brigade, Oysterhead, 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:08.039 or even his solo stuff, it's instantly recognizable. 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.160 You know when you hear his bass, the tone, the 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:13.819 sound, and then obviously his voice. It's just, 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:18.980 it's so unique. The only way to describe it is 00:19:18.980 --> 00:19:22.200 it's less. It's less. It's less. It's unique 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.900 and original. It's amazing art, music art, if 00:19:25.900 --> 00:19:28.180 you will, the way he plays, man. Couldn't agree 00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:30.059 more. And when I tell people, like, oh, you know 00:19:30.059 --> 00:19:32.319 Primus, and they go, no, I don't really know 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:34.579 a lot of Primus. As soon as I put on Jerry Was 00:19:34.579 --> 00:19:36.339 a Race Chord Driver and you hear the opening 00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:37.960 bass line, they're like, oh, I know that song. 00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:41.299 Yeah. Dude, sick line, too. Sick bass line. Back 00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:42.180 when we got the phone, I'm going to pick up the 00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:44.140 bass and rock out on it just because I have it 00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:46.640 in a minute. Grab it and just start jamming now. 00:19:46.700 --> 00:19:47.940 Grab it and start jamming now, right? I know 00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:49.259 I have this bad habit like that. Right before 00:19:49.259 --> 00:19:52.660 I left for just I went to grab a couple things 00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:54.940 from the guitar center and I bought a guitar. 00:19:54.940 --> 00:19:57.619 I got a Gretsch and then same thing when I just 00:19:57.619 --> 00:19:59.380 got back home because I got two small guitars 00:19:59.380 --> 00:20:01.180 for the kids. Just going to buy some straps. 00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:04.420 But I had this fat ass bass, bro. So I had this 00:20:04.420 --> 00:20:06.700 Epiphone acoustic bass. So I got that. Nice. 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:08.799 There's all the same bass as well. We just play 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:10.099 everything up in the house, man. My house is 00:20:10.099 --> 00:20:12.619 like, looks like guitar center, really. The home 00:20:12.619 --> 00:20:14.579 studio and then the garage is the studio. But 00:20:14.579 --> 00:20:17.279 all things music, man. That's my life. Exactly. 00:20:17.940 --> 00:20:21.000 All right. Well, we're officially starting the 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.700 second half of your ultimate concert here. So 00:20:23.700 --> 00:20:26.500 let's say we had an intermission, if you will. 00:20:26.859 --> 00:20:28.799 Where would we go for the second half of the 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.579 night? So I'm sticking with, again, all the songs 00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:33.819 that influenced me and just have these jamming 00:20:33.819 --> 00:20:36.880 vibes and jamming riffs in it. Another band that's 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:38.619 going to be going out again, if they're not already 00:20:38.619 --> 00:20:42.170 out, a band called Snot. um yes and uh dude that 00:20:42.170 --> 00:20:44.910 whole that first that record jesus um it was 00:20:44.910 --> 00:20:47.029 why it's a great story so you know we're still 00:20:47.029 --> 00:20:49.809 local band early 90s um late 90s whatever and 00:20:49.809 --> 00:20:52.730 we had a van we toured in and it was dave williams 00:20:52.730 --> 00:20:54.650 man he had this cassette tape and it's not cassette 00:20:54.650 --> 00:20:56.210 tape it's like you gotta get ready to do road 00:20:56.210 --> 00:20:57.910 trip to go play in oklahoma and uh it's like 00:20:57.910 --> 00:20:59.250 you gotta use you guys get in the van and he 00:20:59.250 --> 00:21:02.750 pops the tape in and he plays stupid from it's 00:21:02.750 --> 00:21:05.549 not and it's like just that jamming riff on it 00:21:05.549 --> 00:21:07.569 man we're just all in a van jamming on the way 00:21:07.569 --> 00:21:10.549 to go play a show you know Local band heroes 00:21:10.549 --> 00:21:14.069 going to Oklahoma. Yeah, that's awesome. But 00:21:14.069 --> 00:21:16.269 I'll never forget that, just that vibe and that 00:21:16.269 --> 00:21:18.250 energy that they bring to the table and hearing 00:21:18.250 --> 00:21:20.210 it the first time because Dave had the cassette. 00:21:21.150 --> 00:21:24.769 I've seen footage of Snotts' recent shows with 00:21:24.769 --> 00:21:28.269 Andy Knapp on vocals, and obviously nobody is 00:21:28.269 --> 00:21:31.089 ever going to replace Lynn Strait. and nobody 00:21:31.089 --> 00:21:34.690 expects anybody to. But I was kind of blown away 00:21:34.690 --> 00:21:36.970 by the energy and passion he's bringing to these 00:21:36.970 --> 00:21:40.890 performances, and Snot sounds completely reinvigorated 00:21:40.890 --> 00:21:43.670 on this run. I can't wait for them to get to 00:21:43.670 --> 00:21:46.430 the East Coast. Yeah. I want to see a set myself, 00:21:46.670 --> 00:21:48.150 man, because this is another band I didn't get 00:21:48.150 --> 00:21:50.630 to see, but big influence and great songs. Maybe 00:21:50.630 --> 00:21:53.950 a Snot and Drowning Pool tour would be pretty 00:21:53.950 --> 00:21:56.170 killer. Yeah. I'm going to make some calls when 00:21:56.170 --> 00:21:57.509 I get on the phone with you. That sounds awesome. 00:21:57.880 --> 00:21:59.599 As long as it can be like, you know, promoted 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:01.940 by my weekly mixtape. Oh, yeah, man. I'll wear 00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:05.119 the shirt and everything. There you go. All right. 00:22:05.339 --> 00:22:08.039 Track eight. Where are we going from Snot? Track 00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:10.240 eight. This is a song that I kind of rediscovered 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:12.880 not that long ago. You know, every now and then 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:14.740 when we do short runs, like a two -week run, 00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:16.359 a weekend run, we'll just still just take the 00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.319 van out. I like driving the van. I still like 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:19.859 keeping it old school. I mean, you know, we did 00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:21.880 big tours. We're very fortunate to be in the 00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:23.279 tour bus. I'm grateful and thankful that we're 00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.440 there. But I still like driving, man. I still. 00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:28.119 And it gives me, like, playing shows and driving 00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:30.980 to the next venue. I stay up at night and I listen 00:22:30.980 --> 00:22:33.359 to whole catalogs of bands. It's, like, my time 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:35.460 to really get to listen and re -listen. Because, 00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:36.779 like, pretty much all day, instead of playing 00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:39.380 a show, I'm just doing my own thing. So in that 00:22:39.380 --> 00:22:41.259 process, man, this band came out. I forgot. It's 00:22:41.259 --> 00:22:42.960 Jimmy's Chicken Shack. Yes. And a song called 00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.319 High. And I forgot, you know, again, it popped 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:47.759 up on just out of nowhere a few months ago. And 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.940 it's just such, again, another jamming riff that 00:22:49.940 --> 00:22:52.529 I think, you know, it's early. new metal -ish 00:22:52.529 --> 00:22:55.069 style before that became the name and the style, 00:22:55.170 --> 00:22:56.849 if you will. I think that's kind of early inception. 00:22:57.190 --> 00:22:58.910 But that song, man, it just has some kind of 00:22:58.910 --> 00:23:00.630 another one of those just slamming songs that 00:23:00.630 --> 00:23:02.589 just get you bouncing. And I was listening to 00:23:02.589 --> 00:23:04.470 it. It's another thing, you know, it came on. 00:23:04.490 --> 00:23:05.250 I was like, I haven't heard it in forever. I 00:23:05.250 --> 00:23:06.589 played like three or four times in a row. You 00:23:06.589 --> 00:23:08.029 can play your favorite songs or whatever again, 00:23:08.069 --> 00:23:09.589 man. So I'm just going down the highway at three 00:23:09.589 --> 00:23:10.650 o 'clock in the morning. Everybody's trying to 00:23:10.650 --> 00:23:13.549 sleep, but I'm just jamming. I'm not going to 00:23:13.549 --> 00:23:15.430 lie, dude. I'm so glad you brought up Jimmy's 00:23:15.430 --> 00:23:17.789 Chicken Shack because they're based out of Maryland. 00:23:17.869 --> 00:23:20.809 So being from New Jersey. This was kind of like 00:23:20.809 --> 00:23:22.670 a second home for them. So we got to kind of 00:23:22.670 --> 00:23:25.089 see the rise of Jimmy's Chicken Shack through 00:23:25.089 --> 00:23:28.950 the 90s. And they're so underrated. I feel like 00:23:28.950 --> 00:23:31.670 so many people should know who this group is. 00:23:31.829 --> 00:23:34.250 So to have this brought out tonight is such a 00:23:34.250 --> 00:23:36.950 refreshing thing to hear. Yeah, man. That's another 00:23:36.950 --> 00:23:40.210 one of those groups that are just amazing. Some 00:23:40.210 --> 00:23:41.329 fall between the cracks. Just don't get that 00:23:41.329 --> 00:23:43.690 recognition like you're saying, man. But that's 00:23:43.690 --> 00:23:46.119 one of them. That's sick. I'd say a double dose 00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:48.720 of underrated bands between snot and Jimmy's 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:51.859 chicken shack to start side B. So where do we 00:23:51.859 --> 00:23:54.319 go from here? From here, we're going to go to 00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:56.740 a mainstream thing because, um, you know, again, 00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:58.900 just going with the intensity and just a minor 00:23:58.900 --> 00:24:01.660 show. And, um, you know, it's another band. I 00:24:01.660 --> 00:24:03.480 mean, we all know it's Metallica and, you know, 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:05.099 they're another, you know, another Kings and 00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:08.000 metal and, you know, back, back when I first 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.349 heard. master puppets it's like a you know it's 00:24:11.349 --> 00:24:13.430 a friend of mine and he he was just you know 00:24:13.430 --> 00:24:14.589 it's high school's lunchtime and he's got the 00:24:14.589 --> 00:24:16.009 cassette thing and he's jamming out i'm like 00:24:16.009 --> 00:24:18.150 what is that it's like it's a band called metallica 00:24:18.150 --> 00:24:19.609 you got to check this out so let me borrow the 00:24:19.609 --> 00:24:22.150 cassette tape and just it opens up with battery 00:24:22.150 --> 00:24:24.349 and just you know pretty acoustic guitar and 00:24:24.349 --> 00:24:25.769 you're thinking oh man this is some cool stuff 00:24:25.769 --> 00:24:28.910 and then just on your face just all triplets 00:24:28.910 --> 00:24:31.349 you know galloping riffs i'm like holy shit what 00:24:31.349 --> 00:24:33.470 just happened to my life so um it was one of 00:24:33.470 --> 00:24:35.710 those life and changing moments that uh you know 00:24:35.710 --> 00:24:38.000 you just never forget so That's one of the songs, 00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:40.299 you know, there's again, millions of, dude, so 00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:42.220 many great Metallica songs and, and, and probably 00:24:42.220 --> 00:24:44.059 like, like all of his artists feel better songs 00:24:44.059 --> 00:24:47.000 since then. But, um, that was like my first impression, 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:48.740 first thing I ever heard from him. But yeah, 00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:51.720 man, I, you know, to hear that live, it's freaking 00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:54.599 sick. That's one of my favorites. Metallica is 00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:56.680 a top band for me. I've seen them so many times. 00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:59.549 When you talk about bands that just. know how 00:24:59.549 --> 00:25:02.289 to open an album with authority. I mean, let's 00:25:02.289 --> 00:25:04.710 just look at the five first albums, because anytime 00:25:04.710 --> 00:25:07.029 you go past the Black Album, people love to run 00:25:07.029 --> 00:25:09.390 their mouths. But Hit the Lights from Kill Em 00:25:09.390 --> 00:25:11.430 All, Fight Fire with Fire from Ride the Lightning. 00:25:11.529 --> 00:25:14.410 You just mentioned Battery from Master of Puppets, 00:25:14.450 --> 00:25:17.150 Blackened from Injustice for All, and Enter Sandman 00:25:17.150 --> 00:25:19.890 from the Black Album. Home run after home run 00:25:19.890 --> 00:25:22.130 after home run. Yeah, everyone knows. And then 00:25:22.130 --> 00:25:24.369 I'll jump even into the later albums. I'll just 00:25:24.369 --> 00:25:27.109 say it. Frantic is the best song on St. Anger. 00:25:27.500 --> 00:25:29.019 Right. We were talking about that the other day. 00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:31.099 We were actually listening to it, just going 00:25:31.099 --> 00:25:32.460 over, you know, again, when we have some time. 00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.599 And I love this with our band, like some dressing 00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:36.460 room time, which is rare to have some time. We'll 00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:38.980 get on a subject like that and just put a whole 00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:41.140 record on and just listen to it. So because right 00:25:41.140 --> 00:25:43.380 now we are back in writing mode. We're going 00:25:43.380 --> 00:25:45.019 to record it, try to get the rest of the songs 00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:47.900 done for a new album with Brian. So that's what 00:25:47.900 --> 00:25:49.720 I've been doing since I got home in the next 00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:51.460 couple of weeks, just write mode and listen into 00:25:51.460 --> 00:25:53.819 songs, get influence and do our own thing, man. 00:25:53.940 --> 00:25:55.900 So Metallica is definitely always an influence 00:25:55.900 --> 00:25:58.819 for all of us, man. Of course, of course. So 00:25:58.819 --> 00:26:01.700 where are we going out of battery? So I'm going 00:26:01.700 --> 00:26:04.180 to go with this one because this is another song 00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:07.019 that, dude, this band, another underrated band, 00:26:07.099 --> 00:26:09.960 big time. Head P .E., man. They have a lot of 00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:11.640 great songs, but Renegade, there's something 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:13.839 about that song. Again, another song that just 00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:16.220 gets me pumped, man. That's like, I love that 00:26:16.220 --> 00:26:18.099 song when they play it live. Funny story, so 00:26:18.099 --> 00:26:19.400 again, my lady and I were getting ready. This 00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:21.099 was years ago when we first started seeing each 00:26:21.099 --> 00:26:23.890 other. And she puts on Renegade because... you 00:26:23.890 --> 00:26:25.430 know, since they were getting ready to play here 00:26:25.430 --> 00:26:27.650 in Dallas like the next week and and, you know, 00:26:27.650 --> 00:26:28.670 we're still getting to know each other. It's 00:26:28.670 --> 00:26:30.410 just like, would you go see this band called 00:26:30.410 --> 00:26:32.549 Head P .E. with me? I'm like, you love Head P 00:26:32.549 --> 00:26:34.750 .E.? I love Head P .E. It's like, I know Head 00:26:34.750 --> 00:26:37.390 P .E. We play with Head P .E. So that's like, 00:26:37.390 --> 00:26:38.849 you know, that's how we like when you get ready 00:26:38.849 --> 00:26:40.869 to go out. That's the jam I put on in the car 00:26:40.869 --> 00:26:42.609 when I take off the house. No matter what show 00:26:42.609 --> 00:26:44.869 I'm going to, we listen to Renegade first. And 00:26:44.869 --> 00:26:47.730 I do. I love Head P .E., man. They're definitely 00:26:47.730 --> 00:26:49.690 one of my top bands. Oh, they're incredible. 00:26:49.809 --> 00:26:52.329 I can't picture a Head P .E. show without the 00:26:52.329 --> 00:26:54.869 one -two punch of Bartender and Renegade closing 00:26:54.869 --> 00:26:59.190 out a set. And now, if I'm not mistaken, you're 00:26:59.190 --> 00:27:00.849 going to get a little bit of extra time with 00:27:00.849 --> 00:27:02.710 Head P .E. this fall because you're going out 00:27:02.710 --> 00:27:05.470 with them and Spineshank over in the U .K., correct? 00:27:05.849 --> 00:27:07.490 Yeah, we finally, I was just talking to Jared 00:27:07.490 --> 00:27:09.910 the other day about that. We just, all that stuff's 00:27:09.910 --> 00:27:12.029 obviously solidifying out now. But we did a little 00:27:12.029 --> 00:27:14.549 bit of touring together with Saliva. No, it wasn't 00:27:14.549 --> 00:27:17.430 Saliva. I'm sorry. It was El Nino. and a few 00:27:17.430 --> 00:27:20.329 other bands a couple years ago. And again, they 00:27:20.329 --> 00:27:21.549 were on tour with us for a little bit. And I 00:27:21.549 --> 00:27:22.970 just love those dudes, man. They let me come 00:27:22.970 --> 00:27:24.950 out and play a couple songs on their set. I guess 00:27:24.950 --> 00:27:26.250 it's this adrenaline thing. I don't know, man. 00:27:26.329 --> 00:27:29.450 But I made my way out to their set and played 00:27:29.450 --> 00:27:32.710 Renegade with them. But yeah, man, they just 00:27:32.710 --> 00:27:34.690 kill it, dude. I love it. It's a band. The cool 00:27:34.690 --> 00:27:36.250 thing about touring is it's like I get to be 00:27:36.250 --> 00:27:38.430 at a free head PE show if they're on tour with 00:27:38.430 --> 00:27:40.369 us every night. I get to watch them play every 00:27:40.369 --> 00:27:43.130 night on top of me playing my set. So yeah, I'm 00:27:43.130 --> 00:27:44.289 excited as hell to be touring with them again, 00:27:44.349 --> 00:27:46.750 dude. They put on a killer show. So much energy. 00:27:47.250 --> 00:27:50.869 Fantastic. Well, we're getting close to the end 00:27:50.869 --> 00:27:53.509 of the set here. We're nearing the finale. We 00:27:53.509 --> 00:27:56.809 got two songs left. We could call one the set 00:27:56.809 --> 00:27:59.390 closer and then track 12, the encore. Where do 00:27:59.390 --> 00:28:01.890 we go for track 11? I'm going to go to these, 00:28:02.009 --> 00:28:04.869 again, recently influenced, but we've been friends 00:28:04.869 --> 00:28:08.410 for 25 plus years, man. And I'm going with P 00:28:08.410 --> 00:28:11.349 .O .D. South Town because that song is jamming. 00:28:11.490 --> 00:28:15.220 I love all those dudes. Sonny's great. marcus 00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:17.480 is great freaking trade like all those dudes 00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:19.640 and the drummers act they have now man powerhouse 00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:21.660 so great dudes great friends but their their 00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:24.359 set has a vibe to it but something about south 00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:26.279 town man whenever that song comes on dude i'm 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.000 just like stomping on the floor just anything 00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:29.640 that's around me it's gonna just get hit man 00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:33.599 i'm in the south towns so great dudes um they 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:35.839 put on dude they have hits for days too man i 00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:37.299 think another band that's probably a little bit 00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:40.440 under underrated as well Oh, God, yeah. Even 00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:42.480 their greatest hits album, when you look at it, 00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:44.039 you're like, every single one of these songs 00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:47.359 was an absolute smash. But you don't think about 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:50.619 P .O .D. as one of those big chart -topping bands, 00:28:50.779 --> 00:28:53.799 but that whole run between Southtown and Alive 00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:57.059 and that entire, those two album cycles, they 00:28:57.059 --> 00:28:58.940 were kind of on top of the world for a while 00:28:58.940 --> 00:29:01.039 there. Yeah, they got tons of hits in them. I'm 00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:02.180 hoping to do some more stuff with them. That 00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:03.660 was great to do that run with them and catch 00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:05.880 up and just, again, get to watch their show every 00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:08.869 night for free. Because I'm playing with them. 00:29:09.630 --> 00:29:11.970 See, so not only are you in a band, you're also 00:29:11.970 --> 00:29:13.630 a fan. And that's where the love of this comes 00:29:13.630 --> 00:29:16.130 in. That's where the community of music comes 00:29:16.130 --> 00:29:18.450 into play here. Yeah, that's what it's all about, 00:29:18.509 --> 00:29:20.170 man. I love being at a rock show. And like I'm 00:29:20.170 --> 00:29:22.190 saying, whenever we have a day off on tour, I'll 00:29:22.190 --> 00:29:24.789 go find somebody playing somewhere. Ryan always 00:29:24.789 --> 00:29:26.750 makes fun of me that my band guys are like, dude, 00:29:26.869 --> 00:29:29.970 we did six shows in a row, day off. It doesn't 00:29:29.970 --> 00:29:33.069 matter how many, whatever. It's a day off. I'm 00:29:33.069 --> 00:29:34.609 going to go find a club. There's somebody playing 00:29:34.609 --> 00:29:37.640 somewhere, man. I just love being at the show. 00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:40.839 So I have to ask, before we reveal the last song, 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.539 there's a definite vibe to your ultimate concert. 00:29:45.180 --> 00:29:48.240 Would there be any genres of music that people 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:50.619 would be shocked to learn that you're also a 00:29:50.619 --> 00:29:55.039 fan of? I'm a huge Fleetwood Mac fan. We played 00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.200 a lot of songs just around the house. Again, 00:29:57.299 --> 00:29:58.779 I got a couple of kids and we all played music 00:29:58.779 --> 00:30:00.259 together. Family, Partridge family over here. 00:30:00.420 --> 00:30:02.440 But, you know, I love a lot of 60s, 70s stuff. 00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:04.500 I've always been a Led Zeppelin fan. Who's not 00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:07.019 a Led Zeppelin fan? Yeah, it's still rock and 00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:08.940 roll themed, if you will. But, you know, I grew 00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:11.180 up in New Orleans with jazz and blues. So I still 00:30:11.180 --> 00:30:12.980 love that. I definitely get into, we get into 00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:15.519 these tricks like Amy Winehouse is amazing. Like, 00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:17.960 and I love Motown and my uncle is really big 00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:21.039 into, you know, jazz and Motown stuff. So we'll 00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:22.599 get, we'll go off into that zone at the house. 00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:24.819 People probably don't obviously know that. That's 00:30:24.819 --> 00:30:26.740 why we're discussing it. But yeah, I get into 00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:28.380 all that, man. I mean, my heart's in metal and 00:30:28.380 --> 00:30:30.160 rock and roll and the intensity, but I listen 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.539 to everything, dude. And I'm open to all styles 00:30:33.539 --> 00:30:36.380 and music. And even the newer stuff, there's 00:30:36.380 --> 00:30:38.579 not a lot of newer bands on here, but the new 00:30:38.579 --> 00:30:39.859 stuff that's out now too, man, they're still 00:30:39.859 --> 00:30:42.799 killing it, bringing the metal. All right. Well, 00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:45.799 we are down to your last song of the night. This 00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.859 is the encore. This is the closer. What are we 00:30:48.859 --> 00:30:50.819 going to close things out with? I'm going to 00:30:50.819 --> 00:30:52.500 close it out again because I haven't seen this 00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:55.740 recently. And it's amazing all the love and respect 00:30:55.740 --> 00:30:59.000 to Sully from Godsmack because they still bring, 00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:02.160 I mean, their show is amazing. They bring the 00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:04.650 full rock show. um it takes you on a journey 00:31:04.650 --> 00:31:06.130 the lights are amazing the screen was amazing 00:31:06.130 --> 00:31:08.710 the whole introductory coming into it like it's 00:31:08.710 --> 00:31:10.730 only put a lot of thought and time into this 00:31:10.730 --> 00:31:13.130 set up if you haven't seen it recently and they 00:31:13.130 --> 00:31:14.829 they end you know they ended without standalone 00:31:14.829 --> 00:31:17.549 and just everybody's singing along you know i'm 00:31:17.549 --> 00:31:19.069 at the end of the night i'm watching the show 00:31:19.069 --> 00:31:20.690 every night i kind of walk out with the crowd 00:31:20.690 --> 00:31:22.369 we don't hang out talk to people at the merch 00:31:22.369 --> 00:31:24.990 and we're just all singing it so it's just thrilling 00:31:24.990 --> 00:31:27.349 to have man it's a good closer song just because 00:31:27.349 --> 00:31:28.950 i've got to see it every night it's it's you 00:31:28.950 --> 00:31:30.809 know again it's just standard kick -ass rock 00:31:30.809 --> 00:31:34.180 song from sally and the boys So I have to ask, 00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:37.079 did you guys like nickname this tour the Scorpion 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:39.539 King Tour? Because if you look at that soundtrack, 00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:43.440 it kicks off with I Stand Alone. Then it's P 00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:46.880 .O .D.'s Tweaker remix of Set It Off and then 00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:49.960 Break You by Drowning Pool. Yeah, that's wild. 00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:51.980 You know, I think of it like that. Again, all 00:31:51.980 --> 00:31:53.660 of us being together coming from that era and 00:31:53.660 --> 00:31:55.440 touring together again. I would love to play 00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:57.220 Break You, throw that in the set list because 00:31:57.220 --> 00:31:59.099 we haven't ever actually played it. But we have 00:31:59.099 --> 00:32:01.140 an anniversary tour coming up next year. And 00:32:01.140 --> 00:32:02.680 we want to do a lot of fun stuff. Oh, but didn't 00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:04.680 just leak that out of the bag. Just scratch what 00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:06.319 I just said. You didn't hear that. I was going 00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:08.140 to say, well, I'm going to dig into that a little 00:32:08.140 --> 00:32:09.859 bit because I still have some more questions 00:32:09.859 --> 00:32:13.039 for you. But first, there you have it, folks. 00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:16.680 C .J. Pierce's ultimate concert set list, which, 00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:19.380 as a reminder, kicked off with Rage Against the 00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:22.039 Machines, Killing in the Name, Tools, The Pot, 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:26.579 Korn's Alone I Break, Slipknot's Duality, Pantera's 00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:29.779 Domination. Primus' Jerry Was a Race Car Driver, 00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:34.500 Snot's Stupid, Jimmy Chicken Shack's High, Metallica's 00:32:34.500 --> 00:32:38.759 Battery, Head P .E.'s Renegade, P .O .D.'s Southtown, 00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:42.779 and Godsmack's I Stand Alone. And remember, you 00:32:42.779 --> 00:32:45.019 could hear a playlist featuring all of these 00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:48.799 songs over on the episode page at myweeklymixtape 00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:52.819 .com. So now we have to talk some Drowning Pool 00:32:52.819 --> 00:32:55.509 here, man. So I guess the best place to start 00:32:55.509 --> 00:32:57.789 would be right here in the present and the band's 00:32:57.789 --> 00:34:13.860 latest single, Madness. And along with that track, 00:34:13.940 --> 00:34:16.300 there's also the one that you guys released towards 00:34:16.300 --> 00:34:20.780 the end of 2024, which is Revolution, The Final 00:34:20.780 --> 00:35:28.789 Amen. Let's hear a clip of that as well. You 00:35:28.789 --> 00:35:30.550 mentioned earlier that you guys are kind of in 00:35:30.550 --> 00:35:33.550 the recording process for the next Drowning Pool 00:35:33.550 --> 00:35:35.670 album. Where do these songs kind of fit into 00:35:35.670 --> 00:35:37.829 that mold? You know, we're going boss of all 00:35:37.829 --> 00:35:39.630 jamming, man. The excitement of having Ryan back. 00:35:39.809 --> 00:35:41.429 I think that comes through in the music. That's, 00:35:41.429 --> 00:35:43.090 you know, where Revolution, you know, started. 00:35:43.170 --> 00:35:44.829 You know, he came here the first time he came 00:35:44.829 --> 00:35:47.230 back. It was like two years ago. And I have like 00:35:47.230 --> 00:35:48.909 a gazebo set up in the backyard. I just sat out 00:35:48.909 --> 00:35:50.980 there. actually with an acoustic thinking we're 00:35:50.980 --> 00:35:52.400 going to just sit out and jam. I just started 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:54.239 rocking out hard on it. It doesn't matter what 00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:56.079 instruments you have. I love get on acoustic 00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:58.179 and rocking hard anyway. It's not, the acoustic 00:35:58.179 --> 00:36:00.460 doesn't have to just be for, you know, soft breeze 00:36:00.460 --> 00:36:03.500 songs. Hey, there's an MTV unplugged for a reason. 00:36:03.539 --> 00:36:05.480 Maybe a drowning pool unplugged set would kick 00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:07.420 some ass. I would love to do that, man. We did 00:36:07.420 --> 00:36:09.619 an acoustic set last year in Poland. We did eight 00:36:09.619 --> 00:36:12.159 shows for the troops and we did a 17 song acoustic 00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:14.000 set, but it was jamming, man. I actually had 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:16.199 a little distortion on the acoustic anyway. You 00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:17.440 know, it was supposed to be an acoustic set, 00:36:17.460 --> 00:36:20.260 but, I don't know, some songs come across heavier 00:36:20.260 --> 00:36:22.780 on the acoustic when you're banging on it. At 00:36:22.780 --> 00:36:24.739 least for me, they sounded like that. I would 00:36:24.739 --> 00:36:26.019 love to do that. I'd love to do an acoustic record 00:36:26.019 --> 00:36:28.159 and some kind of acoustic tour. But yeah, that's 00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:29.340 all good things, man. I'm going to put that, 00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:30.820 we're going to write that down and I'll try to 00:36:30.820 --> 00:36:33.139 make that happen as well. But yeah, we have a 00:36:33.139 --> 00:36:35.039 lot of material. You know, every time we get 00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:36.300 together, there's been a lot of stuff on the 00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:37.880 plate. It just hasn't, we haven't had time to 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:39.460 finish putting them together, if you will. So 00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:41.039 we have a lot of songs that are pretty much like 00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:44.280 90 % done. Just the final touches before we go 00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:46.599 record them. No, it's been great, dude. It's 00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:48.519 like we didn't skip a beat with Ryan. He's been 00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:50.460 easy to write with. All of us, you know, on fire 00:36:50.460 --> 00:36:52.059 again to have Ryan back in the band after 12, 00:36:52.139 --> 00:36:54.860 13 years. And he'll be here in two more weeks. 00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:56.400 And we're going to just get in a room and just 00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:57.679 start knocking these out. And it's going to stay 00:36:57.679 --> 00:36:59.260 after. And then two weeks after that, we're going 00:36:59.260 --> 00:37:02.139 to go record. So it's been great, dude. We just, 00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:03.960 you know, we play what we feel. We write what 00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:06.099 we feel, man. And right now, you know, like the 00:37:06.099 --> 00:37:08.019 set list, everything's been really intense and 00:37:08.019 --> 00:37:10.119 just awesome. We've been touring pretty strong 00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:12.539 the last two years. And just that feeling, you 00:37:12.539 --> 00:37:14.000 know, the vibe from the fans, you know, get off 00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:16.750 stage. especially at the playing bodies and um 00:37:16.750 --> 00:37:18.389 there's been a lot of times on tour like i'm 00:37:18.389 --> 00:37:20.030 still jacked up so get the guitar and write some 00:37:20.030 --> 00:37:22.130 kind of cool riff so now i'm at the point where 00:37:22.130 --> 00:37:23.949 i can just sit here and i'm gonna turn this on 00:37:23.949 --> 00:37:26.329 after we get done and uh put them together man 00:37:26.329 --> 00:37:29.730 make it happen well you said something earlier 00:37:29.730 --> 00:37:32.110 that i'm now gonna harp on because it wouldn't 00:37:32.110 --> 00:37:35.510 be very newslike of me if i didn't but next year 00:37:35.510 --> 00:37:39.610 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of drowning pool 00:37:39.610 --> 00:37:42.510 don't take me too much it's 25 you guys formed 00:37:42.510 --> 00:37:45.579 in 96 right We formed in 96, but it's a, well, 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:47.360 it's a 30, you're right. It's 30 year anniversary 00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:48.920 of the band, but the center record came out in 00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:51.679 2001. So yes, of course. Are you right? Yeah. 00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:53.440 My knees hurt when you said that. What year is 00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:56.159 this? Where did the time go, man? I must've been 00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:58.179 drinking a lot in the middle of my life. It's 00:37:58.179 --> 00:38:00.019 blacked out for 10 years. Okay. So then we'll 00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:02.599 go with 25. We'll go with the 25th anniversary 00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:06.139 of sitter. Yeah. Does the band have anything 00:38:06.139 --> 00:38:08.800 in the works to mark the occasion? We have a 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:10.860 lot of stuff in the works and a lot of things 00:38:10.860 --> 00:38:12.840 that we're working towards now. Things that, 00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:15.130 you know, we're still putting together a lot 00:38:15.130 --> 00:38:17.130 of amazing ideas um we want to do everything 00:38:17.130 --> 00:38:19.230 and anything first and foremost on to hats off 00:38:19.230 --> 00:38:21.989 to dave williams who is just a part of the making 00:38:21.989 --> 00:38:24.230 of the center record and uh you know kind of 00:38:24.230 --> 00:38:26.630 the foundation of our sound that you know with 00:38:26.630 --> 00:38:29.050 bodies so we have a lot of stuff and um i have 00:38:29.050 --> 00:38:31.269 a lot of you know i went to storage went had 00:38:31.269 --> 00:38:33.110 some time off cleaned out some stuff and i have 00:38:33.110 --> 00:38:35.130 a lot of music and cassette tapes and stuff we 00:38:35.130 --> 00:38:37.929 did that we didn't finish like record like we 00:38:37.929 --> 00:38:40.210 have a lot of songs with dave that just were 00:38:40.210 --> 00:38:43.079 not recorded professionally if you will so We've 00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:44.599 been talking about maybe getting some of those 00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:47.360 songs to have put them out there. Because you 00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:49.139 can get his voice off the cassette tape now with 00:38:49.139 --> 00:38:51.519 all this cool, fun technology. Still his voice, 00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:54.320 not this AI stuff. But we have songs, a few of 00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:56.960 them that we would like to finish. There's songs 00:38:56.960 --> 00:38:59.980 that we haven't played live. I don't think we 00:38:59.980 --> 00:39:03.039 played the game. Break You is another one that 00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:05.480 we did. So all things Dave Williams, man. We 00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:07.780 want to make this show all about that. And again, 00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:09.579 it's just fun. I haven't gone through everything 00:39:09.579 --> 00:39:12.699 yet, but I found a lot of video. And a lot of 00:39:12.699 --> 00:39:15.019 music that we just never got around to putting 00:39:15.019 --> 00:39:17.239 out yet. You know, we were in super writing mode 00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:19.420 before we even did center record. Any chance 00:39:19.420 --> 00:39:22.320 that there's maybe a 25th anniversary, maybe 00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.519 deluxe release of center? Yeah, definitely, man. 00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:27.820 That's definitely going to be that with all this 00:39:27.820 --> 00:39:29.760 stuff on it, just kind of narrow down to what 00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:31.679 we want to put on it. I want to put everything 00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:33.739 out, especially the video. I'll have so much 00:39:33.739 --> 00:39:35.800 video backed in. There's like the high eight 00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.159 cameras came out and we did a lot of stuff locally 00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:39.699 before, right before we got signed, we did some 00:39:39.699 --> 00:39:41.960 door and actually we'd had PE. We've got to open 00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:43.960 up for them here locally. Same thing with Seven 00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:47.260 Dust and with Kitty. Love Kitty. Love that band. 00:39:47.619 --> 00:39:49.840 So I have a lot of stuff, as long as they're 00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:51.320 cool with it, just to get it out there. Just 00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.539 us, Raw, all that stuff, kind of pre -Center 00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:55.800 Days, if you will, on the local scene. We did 00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:59.239 the big local show with Chaz here in town. So, 00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:01.300 yeah, there's a lot of stuff that we have to 00:40:01.300 --> 00:40:03.840 put out there. Some soundboards from some live 00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:06.849 shows from that touring cycle. Um, yeah, yeah, 00:40:06.929 --> 00:40:08.269 there's definitely video that I have that we 00:40:08.269 --> 00:40:10.230 haven't released and Mike and Stevie as well. 00:40:10.369 --> 00:40:12.869 So I want to get all that out, have a big package 00:40:12.869 --> 00:40:14.889 with that. But the fun, the exciting stuff is 00:40:14.889 --> 00:40:16.570 just as a handful of songs that I think we can 00:40:16.570 --> 00:40:18.489 probably either just clean off, keep it how it 00:40:18.489 --> 00:40:20.349 is on a cassette tape, or we can, us three, Mike, 00:40:20.369 --> 00:40:22.670 Stevie, myself can like redo the music and put 00:40:22.670 --> 00:40:24.690 the vocal on top to kind of polish it up. But 00:40:24.690 --> 00:40:26.730 I'm cool either way. It's just, it's just fun. 00:40:26.809 --> 00:40:28.989 We did some covers, a handful of cover songs 00:40:28.989 --> 00:40:31.750 too. Um, we did Day Tripper from the Beatles 00:40:31.750 --> 00:40:34.090 and I have that on as well recorded that nobody's 00:40:34.090 --> 00:40:35.449 ever heard. That was fun just hearing Dave do 00:40:35.449 --> 00:40:38.039 it. Oh, wow. A lot of material, yeah. There's 00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:38.840 a lot of stuff to pick through. I got to hear 00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:41.619 that, man. Yeah, it was heavy, man. I had like 00:40:41.619 --> 00:40:43.360 the low octave on it. I forgot we even did it 00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:44.920 until I heard the tape. So, and there's also 00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:46.820 like earlier versions of like Bodies in Terror 00:40:46.820 --> 00:40:47.900 Way that are a little different. I think some 00:40:47.900 --> 00:40:49.699 of that might be out there, some of the old Emerald 00:40:49.699 --> 00:40:52.239 versions. But if not, I still have those. Just 00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.760 stuff for like the hardcore fans, man. And anything. 00:40:54.860 --> 00:40:56.500 We have stuff that's still signed from Dave Williams 00:40:56.500 --> 00:40:59.119 in storage. A handful of things that I like to... 00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:01.119 But it's going to sit in storage and collect 00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:03.199 dust, man. I like to get that out to the hardcore 00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:05.019 fans. So we have a bunch of posters that are 00:41:05.019 --> 00:41:07.360 still signed and some of the older CDs and stuff 00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:10.159 too, man. Now, I'm not sure if this is a Mandela 00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:12.260 effect thing for me going on here, but I do want 00:41:12.260 --> 00:41:16.179 to ask you, I remember before bodies really exploded 00:41:16.179 --> 00:41:20.119 back in my radio days, hearing versions of Tearaway 00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:23.960 and Bodies and maybe even Sinner. But they weren't 00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:26.260 the finished versions on the final album. Did 00:41:26.260 --> 00:41:28.960 you guys record other versions of these songs 00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:32.500 prior to the major label debut? Bodies and Tear 00:41:32.500 --> 00:41:34.420 Away for sure. But Center, we finished that up 00:41:34.420 --> 00:41:37.739 actually with Jay Baumgartner there at NRG Studios. 00:41:38.139 --> 00:41:39.820 So that was the one that was finished. We had 00:41:39.820 --> 00:41:42.260 the riff from before. I don't know if we had 00:41:42.260 --> 00:41:44.079 put something out because there was something 00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:46.840 similar to that riff. I'm trying to remember 00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:49.239 now. I'm picking my own brain here. But the song 00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:51.059 itself wasn't done until we were there. There 00:41:51.059 --> 00:41:53.360 was four songs that we completed in the pre -production. 00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:56.699 That was one of them. Ironically, our shortest 00:41:56.699 --> 00:41:59.940 song as well. But a fun song to play, man. And 00:41:59.940 --> 00:42:01.079 that's another song.

Well, if you ever tour with 00:43:01.300 --> 00:43:03.199 Skindred, I would want to see that for sure. 00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:06.719 I would do a reggae Drowning Pool set right now 00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:08.159 with Skindred. I would pick my guitar up and 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:09.960 do it on the fly, man. That would be incredible. 00:43:11.059 --> 00:43:14.039 So we talked about your personal ultimate concert 00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:16.400 tonight, but I want to put a spin on that in 00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:19.920 the Drowning Pool universe. So if you had a chance 00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:25.349 to create a top five personal drowning pool set 00:43:25.349 --> 00:43:28.230 list. Oh man. You don't have to worry about the 00:43:28.230 --> 00:43:31.690 hits and the fan favorites. This is purely your 00:43:31.690 --> 00:43:34.510 set list to pick. And you could pick five songs 00:43:34.510 --> 00:43:37.269 from across drowning pools catalog. Which five 00:43:37.269 --> 00:43:39.670 would you pick? Jesus, man. That's that's, I 00:43:39.670 --> 00:43:41.829 wasn't prepared for that. I know. I got to throw 00:43:41.829 --> 00:43:44.050 out the hard questions every now and then. It's 00:43:44.050 --> 00:43:45.590 a hard one. Cause I do love them all. I mean, 00:43:45.590 --> 00:43:48.050 there's not one that I don't like. I'm trying 00:43:48.050 --> 00:43:52.599 to think of ones, you know, I know there's a 00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:55.179 few that I would like to play here. Let me just 00:43:55.179 --> 00:43:57.460 go here. Hell to Pay off of Hallelujah is one 00:43:57.460 --> 00:43:59.920 of them. I love that song. I would love to play 00:43:59.920 --> 00:44:02.179 that one. You know, we did Let the Sin Begin 00:44:02.179 --> 00:44:05.119 a few times. That's a fun song to play. King 00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:07.420 Zero, definitely off the self -titled record. 00:44:07.579 --> 00:44:10.619 King Zero is like, you know, we almost get to 00:44:10.619 --> 00:44:12.920 play it and then, you know, it almost makes us 00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:15.619 that list, but it hasn't. Full Circle too. I 00:44:15.619 --> 00:44:18.599 love that song off the Full Circle record. It 00:44:18.599 --> 00:44:21.829 just opens up all jamming. Is that five? That 00:44:21.829 --> 00:44:24.389 would be four. You got one more. Shit, man, this 00:44:24.389 --> 00:44:29.170 is hard. Dude, this is so hard. You know, this 00:44:29.170 --> 00:44:31.909 life off of Desensitized, too, man, that one 00:44:31.909 --> 00:44:34.530 really hits home for me. And I still sit around 00:44:34.530 --> 00:44:36.050 the house and just another song that, you know, 00:44:36.090 --> 00:44:38.110 I sit and play and just do it because I just 00:44:38.110 --> 00:44:40.780 like the song, man. I'm going to throw out one. 00:44:40.820 --> 00:44:43.500 If you guys are ever taking requests, I don't 00:44:43.500 --> 00:44:45.320 know if it's been in the set list for a while, 00:44:45.420 --> 00:44:48.059 but it's one that I've always been a huge fan 00:44:48.059 --> 00:44:50.980 of actually from desensitized and it's numb. 00:44:51.420 --> 00:44:55.980 That song to me is such a freaking jam. I've 00:44:55.980 --> 00:44:58.789 always wondered why that. kind of hasn't stuck 00:44:58.789 --> 00:45:00.369 through the years but obviously there's only 00:45:00.369 --> 00:45:02.469 so much time you have on stage right thanks for 00:45:02.469 --> 00:45:04.610 saying that uh there's a bill xavier that that's 00:45:04.610 --> 00:45:07.769 the own bc rich guitarist um that's another one 00:45:07.769 --> 00:45:09.469 of the song he says a lot numb is one of his 00:45:09.469 --> 00:45:11.570 favorite ones and i love that song you know that's 00:45:11.570 --> 00:45:13.610 come up a few times for other people it's i guess 00:45:13.610 --> 00:45:15.389 that's a good deep track but uh it's just that 00:45:15.389 --> 00:45:17.409 head groove to it man like the song is playing 00:45:17.409 --> 00:45:19.570 in my head right now as we speak in fact i'm 00:45:19.570 --> 00:45:21.369 gonna you know i'll push that one for the next 00:45:21.369 --> 00:45:23.630 tour i'm gonna push it because uh yeah you know 00:45:23.630 --> 00:45:26.460 again it's hard to pick Again, we love them all, 00:45:26.539 --> 00:45:28.659 man. And there's only so much time you can play. 00:45:28.659 --> 00:45:30.840 But we do mix it up. And I'm going to bring those 00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:33.119 up for sure. I'll bring them up. Or we do a special 00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:35.179 when we play in Jersey. There you go. Perfect. 00:45:35.719 --> 00:45:38.739 Now, you mentioned a big tour for next year. 00:45:39.460 --> 00:45:42.699 How much am I allowed to pick at that? How much 00:45:42.699 --> 00:45:45.679 could you spill? You can tell me what your dream 00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:48.000 setup would be. I mean, there's a few other bands 00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:49.800 having their anniversaries. But for us, it's 00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:51.659 a big deal. 25 -year anniversary for Center. 00:45:52.399 --> 00:45:54.360 And, you know, I just want to do it right by 00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:56.099 Dave. So this year we're doing a lot of stuff 00:45:56.099 --> 00:45:57.860 overseas. We kind of, you know, taking a break 00:45:57.860 --> 00:45:59.300 in the States. We hit it pretty hard last year. 00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:01.239 So we'll start out in the States and do a run. 00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:03.840 I mean, for me, I'd like to have a lot of the 00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:05.440 bands that were aforementioned in my set list 00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:09.360 or bands, you know, around that era, 2001, 2002, 00:46:09.460 --> 00:46:11.480 Auspice, would be great to join forces and just 00:46:11.480 --> 00:46:13.480 have like a big new metal thing with bands with 00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:15.659 anniversary records. That's what I would like 00:46:15.659 --> 00:46:17.679 to do. And not saying that that's what's happening. 00:46:17.980 --> 00:46:20.699 But Hugo, what would you like to see? Oh, dude, 00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:25.360 that 2001 OzFest to me was such a monumental 00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:27.719 show. When you look back at the new metal era 00:46:27.719 --> 00:46:31.780 and you think about all the bands, what the Osbournes 00:46:31.780 --> 00:46:34.380 were able to put together on that day, when you 00:46:34.380 --> 00:46:37.500 look back at that lineup from start to finish. 00:46:37.980 --> 00:46:40.039 Yeah, it's a great lineup, man. So why not just 00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:42.320 run that back, man? Yeah, let's just do it. Let's 00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:46.199 have a 2001 redo, man. I would play that. You 00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:47.539 know, when we started the tour, we were going 00:46:47.539 --> 00:46:51.090 on first at the time. Yes. and bodies took off 00:46:51.090 --> 00:46:53.130 and and you know it was up sharon is the one 00:46:53.130 --> 00:46:54.730 that kind of moved us up in the set list which 00:46:54.730 --> 00:46:57.670 you know we all dave and i went to every single 00:46:57.670 --> 00:46:59.869 band that did you know we had superseded and 00:46:59.869 --> 00:47:01.849 said hey like you know that's sharon it's not 00:47:01.849 --> 00:47:04.150 us because you know we felt i appreciated her 00:47:04.150 --> 00:47:05.869 doing that and the song did take off and i guess 00:47:05.869 --> 00:47:07.989 it made sense with the whole of the time to play 00:47:07.989 --> 00:47:09.769 later in the day but yeah it was just awesome 00:47:09.769 --> 00:47:11.650 to be there man we're just thankful to be on 00:47:11.650 --> 00:47:13.769 the tour and i gladly opened up the show like 00:47:13.769 --> 00:47:15.369 i'm not too big for my britches like i'll go 00:47:15.369 --> 00:47:17.889 on first i'll go on last man We're easy.

So, but yes, 00:47:21.449 --> 00:47:24.030 that lineup, I would love that to do that as 00:47:24.030 --> 00:47:26.690 like a tour. So let's call Danny Wimmer.

You just say the word. Yeah. Let's get 00:47:32.650 --> 00:47:33.949 in touch with all these bands. Let's do this. 00:47:34.030 --> 00:47:36.250 That would be a dream show really for us and 00:47:36.250 --> 00:47:38.110 the bands. And I'm sure for all the fans as well, 00:47:38.110 --> 00:47:41.139 man. I completely agree. Now, I'm sure you've 00:47:41.139 --> 00:47:43.320 gotten this many times over the years, but I'd 00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:45.460 like to close with my own personal drowning pool 00:47:45.460 --> 00:47:48.599 story, if that's OK with you, because this is 00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:50.960 a story that involves the band. But none of you 00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:54.940 were there 20 years ago. I got to marry the love 00:47:54.940 --> 00:47:59.280 of my life and my cousin put together the best 00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:02.199 bachelor party that I could have ever asked for. 00:48:02.659 --> 00:48:06.239 And he rented out an entire. italian restaurant 00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:09.300 and shut it down and he had the square table 00:48:09.300 --> 00:48:12.159 or the you know rectangular table and everything 00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:14.519 was set up to be like i don't want to call it 00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:17.840 mafia style but you know it was a well done put 00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:20.219 together italian restaurant nice and then we 00:48:20.219 --> 00:48:23.039 went and did the other festivities for the evening 00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:26.039 but the part that sticks with everybody on that 00:48:26.039 --> 00:48:29.760 bus because my cousin rented a party bus And 00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:31.900 before we left, they said, oh, dude, there's 00:48:31.900 --> 00:48:34.099 a CD player on the bus. Now, being the nerd I 00:48:34.099 --> 00:48:36.739 am, I'm always burning CDs. So I went to my car, 00:48:36.900 --> 00:48:40.519 grabbed my quote unquote hype up mix and brought 00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:43.619 it out. Right on. And the first song on that 00:48:43.619 --> 00:48:47.079 was Bodies. And the one thing that if you ask 00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:49.420 anybody that attended my bachelor party from 00:48:49.420 --> 00:48:51.900 my father to my father -in -law to all my friends, 00:48:51.980 --> 00:48:54.420 and there's sadly some people who are no longer 00:48:54.420 --> 00:48:58.519 with us that night, was Bodies on the party bus. 00:48:59.019 --> 00:49:01.420 And that's all you have to say. So between that, 00:49:01.500 --> 00:49:04.460 I want to thank you and the band for one of the 00:49:04.460 --> 00:49:07.019 most fondest memories of my life with a lot of 00:49:07.019 --> 00:49:09.699 people I love dearly.
