35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: all this morning. We're absolutely loving it. We do detect

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: that the orchestra is in the background. Dove girl, you

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: are maturing. There's a We also hear a little bit

38
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: of violin going on as well. You didn't get Andrey

39
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: Ryuo or something involved with this song, did you.

40
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: So that's the first song people are hearing from this record,

41
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: and it's much different than anything we've ever done. Like

42
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: the rest of the record, it's filled with this like

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: really us sort of groovy party rock music. Yeah. So

44
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: when we were making a record, the first song we did,

45
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: we were like, oh man, this is like a really

46
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: like heavy fly and a family stone, huge rock song.

47
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: Like the only thing that we started writing more songs

48
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: like oh my God, I think it's so heavy it's local.

49
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: And then we recorded Shame Seen and we got really

50
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: excited because, you know, after twenty five years of being

51
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: a band and lance record, when you when you like

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: when you when you come upon something you've never done before,

53
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: it's really exciting. And so that was after we heard

54
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: that song, we thought, Okay, we want people to hear this.

55
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: It's kind of indicative of the direction that we'd like

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: that we're going into that we've never gone before. But

57
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: I mean, here's a big rock record that that song

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 2: in particular, it is dark man.

59
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 3: You know dive to us too. When you talk about

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: that big sound on that rock sound. How is he

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: hearing these guys, because then, I you've pushed through injury before.

62
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: Was it your leg that you brought one? He just

63
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: pulled up a satan, kept going. But Hall of the

64
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: is he's still hearing everything. Clearly, I have.

65
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: So leftive hearing?

66
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: Is that what it is?

67
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: If I don't want to listen to what you're saying?

68
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,760

71
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,320

78
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,000

91
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: when someone with the level of success that you've had

92
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: whenever they have kids, there's still the father and the

93
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: child relationship where the father is embarrassing to the child

94
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 3: and you don't understand it because the rest of the

95
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: world thinks you're the coolest blog that's ever existed. Are

96
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,159

97
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: considered an embarrassment.

98
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: Oh, you have no idea. I mean, like whether it's

99
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: home in the kitchens or honest foods at a stadium.

100
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,400

Speaker 2: backups in this social wow and you know, the minute

102
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: I have a microphone in front of sixty thousand people,

103
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: she's terrified whatever's going to come out of my mouth

104
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: when I introduced her. You know, we kind of have

105
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: this stirk where we make fun of each other for

106
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: a little bit, you know. But of course, I mean

107
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: you know, to them, they've they've grown up, they've seen,

108
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: they've seen have its offices make okay, like they've seen

109
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: this thing from behind the curtain, and to them it's

110
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: not as glamorous as most other people might think.

111
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: Yes, make sure you get.

112
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: Out of bed after a three hour show the next morning,

113
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: limp around like I'm you know, able to go to

114
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: are like ninety years old or wet And you know,

115
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: I'm very much adad just as any other data that just.

116
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: On interviews as well, I've unbelievable. You've got to sit

117
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: down with the boss and Bruce Springsteen's asking you questions

118
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: about the rise of Nirvana. I mean a moment like

119
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: that for you, dive, what did that mean to you?

120
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know, first of all, he is one of

121
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: the nicest, most down to earth, genuine people. I think

122
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: it's one of the reasons why he's such a legend

123
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: is that people relate to him because he really is

124
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: just like one of his his stands, you know, he's

125
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: like he's like someone is standing in the audience. He's

126
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: just he's a good dude. And of course he's brilliant

127
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: and deloquent and thoftball and he's but he's also really fun,

128
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: you know. So the few times that I've got to

129
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: hang out with him, it seems but he seeks as

130
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: a kind of guy who has the way of the world,

131
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: earn sholders. But I swear every conversation he's just going

132
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 2: ah the whole time. It's great and mean, I love

133
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: him the desk, but but it was you know, I've

135
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: years touring around a band at the playing clubs, and

136
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,080

139
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,880

Speaker 2: or as form ut or the guy's on the chery surface.

141
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: We all sort of started in the same place, so

142
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 2: we have these shared experiences and so when I you know,

143
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: when I talked through, it's like, I don't feel like

144
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: Bru Sprinstein the rock got that's what is a legend.

145
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: But we do share a lot of the same kind

146
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: of formative experiences. But I kind of guy to sit
