Mate? So why are you guys calling it quits? 12 00:00:45,452 --> 00:00:50,133 Speaker 3: Well for a few reasons, but mainly we've been talking 13 00:00:50,132 --> 00:00:52,373 Speaker 3: about this for about a couple of years and it's 14 00:00:52,373 --> 00:00:56,173 Speaker 3: just like, for so long we've had this as the 15 00:00:56,253 --> 00:01:00,892 Speaker 3: center of our lives, and shed when you're taking it seriously, 16 00:01:01,213 --> 00:01:02,533 Speaker 3: you need to be doing it one hundred percent of 17 00:01:02,573 --> 00:01:06,613 Speaker 3: the time all the time. So circumstances have changed. We've 18 00:01:06,653 --> 00:01:10,693 Speaker 3: got kids, we've all got other things outside of She 19 00:01:10,813 --> 00:01:14,333 Speaker 3: Had that we love doing. And you know, when we 20 00:01:14,413 --> 00:01:16,493 Speaker 3: get together we always make sure that you know, we 21 00:01:16,693 --> 00:01:20,293 Speaker 3: bullets the stage and it's great and I think the 22 00:01:20,373 --> 00:01:23,173 Speaker 3: last two she had records are probably my favorite, but 23 00:01:23,932 --> 00:01:27,773 Speaker 3: like five years in between each other, and we used 24 00:01:27,773 --> 00:01:30,292 Speaker 3: to do a record every two years, you know. When 25 00:01:30,572 --> 00:01:33,652 Speaker 3: we were everything was all about she had. But we 26 00:01:33,773 --> 00:01:36,253 Speaker 3: just thought, rather than go out with a whimp, we'll 27 00:01:36,292 --> 00:01:39,933 Speaker 3: go out on a high point. And that was basically 28 00:01:39,932 --> 00:01:42,013 Speaker 3: the sort of decision we came to over a couple 29 00:01:42,053 --> 00:01:45,253 Speaker 3: of years of conversations. And yeah, we are. 30 00:01:45,572 --> 00:01:48,173 Speaker 2: You mentioned some moments there, John, but what are some 31 00:01:48,253 --> 00:01:51,493 Speaker 2: of your greatest memories looking back on that incredible Jenny. 32 00:01:52,133 --> 00:01:55,653 Speaker 3: Well, I mean there's so many.

Do you just think and reflect on it, 59 00:03:12,613 --> 00:03:15,053 Speaker 4: the impact you've had on the country, and how does 60 00:03:15,093 --> 00:03:15,852 Speaker 4: that make you feel? 61 00:03:16,733 --> 00:03:19,452 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm all. I mean, I come from zeal 62 00:03:19,653 --> 00:03:23,973 Speaker 3: so I've got a real my parents are both working 63 00:03:24,013 --> 00:03:28,213 Speaker 3: class Londoners, so I've got a real workman sort of 64 00:03:28,252 --> 00:03:30,533 Speaker 3: ethic towards it, I mean, and all of us have. 65 00:03:30,733 --> 00:03:33,853 Speaker 3: It's like it's a it's a job you know, and 66 00:03:33,893 --> 00:03:38,293 Speaker 3: it's it's an amazing job. It's it's so great that 67 00:03:38,373 --> 00:03:41,053 Speaker 3: I wake up, you know, every day and go cool 68 00:03:41,173 --> 00:03:42,973 Speaker 3: actually get much to make music to pay the rent, 69 00:03:43,013 --> 00:03:47,253 Speaker 3: which is great. But we never really spend much time 70 00:03:47,333 --> 00:03:50,333 Speaker 3: looking back. It's always about what can we do to 71 00:03:50,413 --> 00:03:53,053 Speaker 3: improve the life show, what can we do to make 72 00:03:53,813 --> 00:03:57,653 Speaker 3: the record sound as big as we do live ya, 73 00:03:57,813 --> 00:04:01,452 Speaker 3: It's always it's going on that journey, you know. So yeah, 74 00:04:01,533 --> 00:04:04,413 Speaker 3: I always I'm always in the moment and I'm always 75 00:04:04,413 --> 00:04:07,973 Speaker 3: looking at what's next, you know. So that whole legacy 76 00:04:07,973 --> 00:04:11,293 Speaker 3: thing is it's sort of external from my experience of 77 00:04:11,373 --> 00:04:16,253 Speaker 3: the band. You know. I'm always really with people that 78 00:04:16,333 --> 00:04:18,493 Speaker 3: come up and say, hey, you know, I was at 79 00:04:18,533 --> 00:04:20,533 Speaker 3: the Whaling Bongo when I was at university and you 80 00:04:20,613 --> 00:04:23,693 Speaker 3: guys blew my mind. And that's great because I'm like, 81 00:04:24,493 --> 00:04:28,053 Speaker 3: you know, that's I really appreciate it when people do 82 00:04:28,213 --> 00:04:30,693 Speaker 3: come up and say that sort of stuff. But it's 83 00:04:31,013 --> 00:04:34,293 Speaker 3: for me. I'm just thinking about how can I articulate 84 00:04:35,173 --> 00:04:38,173 Speaker 3: my experience of the world better in a song. I'm 85 00:04:38,173 --> 00:04:41,053 Speaker 3: on that journey, you know, so I don't really think 86 00:04:41,093 --> 00:04:44,693 Speaker 3: too much about the legacy of the band or or 87 00:04:44,733 --> 00:04:47,053 Speaker 3: looking back. You know, and in fact to the point 88 00:04:47,053 --> 00:04:49,253 Speaker 3: where when we were when we got the call that 89 00:04:49,293 --> 00:04:51,293 Speaker 3: we were being inducted into the New Zealand And Role 90 00:04:51,293 --> 00:04:54,493 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame, I was flatted, But I was also 91 00:04:54,533 --> 00:04:56,373 Speaker 3: a little bit like, well, I'm in the middle of 92 00:04:56,453 --> 00:05:00,093 Speaker 3: right of the next record? Am I that old? You know? 93 00:05:01,133 --> 00:05:04,333 Speaker 4: You know, have you thought, Johnny about the last show 94 00:05:04,413 --> 00:05:06,293 Speaker 4: you play, what your emotions are going to be when 95 00:05:06,293 --> 00:05:07,733 Speaker 4: you throw your hand in the air like you do 96 00:05:07,773 --> 00:05:10,613 Speaker 4: on stage and thank you and goodbye, when you say 97 00:05:10,653 --> 00:05:12,773 Speaker 4: that for the last time you Have you contemplated that 98 00:05:12,773 --> 00:05:13,693 Speaker 4: that moment. 99 00:05:14,613 --> 00:05:18,853 Speaker 3: I haven't not that far yet. I've basically basically gone, okay, right, 100 00:05:18,973 --> 00:05:21,453 Speaker 3: what is the workload? How are we going to make 101 00:05:21,493 --> 00:05:26,693 Speaker 3: these shows memorable and epic? And how much work is 102 00:05:26,733 --> 00:05:30,333 Speaker 3: that going to require. I'm just looking at making sure 103 00:05:30,373 --> 00:05:33,493 Speaker 3: that each show is amazing. So so I'm sure it's 104 00:05:33,493 --> 00:05:37,053 Speaker 3: going to be emotional, but I'm leaving that till the moment. 105 00:05:37,093 --> 00:05:39,893 Speaker 4: You know, well, I'm looking forward to that moment myself. 106 00:05:39,933 --> 00:05:41,933 Speaker 4: It'll be sad, but I mentioned it'll be awesome. Like 107 00:05:42,453 --> 00:05:45,373 Speaker 4: every she Had show I've ever seen has been Speaking 108 00:05:45,373 --> 00:05:48,173 Speaker 4: of live shows, put you on the spot here, what 109 00:05:48,333 --> 00:05:51,173 Speaker 4: is the best show you have ever played, and what 110 00:05:51,293 --> 00:05:52,613 Speaker 4: is the best show you have ever seen? 111 00:05:53,533 --> 00:05:56,293 Speaker 3: It's the best show would have played.

I was so 115 00:06:09,733 --> 00:06:14,213 Speaker 3: nervous walking out beforehand that my eyeballs were shaking inside 116 00:06:14,213 --> 00:06:16,613 Speaker 3: my skull a year. As soon as I was on 117 00:06:16,693 --> 00:06:18,773 Speaker 3: the stage, it was like I felt like I was 118 00:06:18,773 --> 00:06:20,373 Speaker 3: in the center of the universe and it was like 119 00:06:20,773 --> 00:06:23,293 Speaker 3: the best feeling of all the time. Got to have 120 00:06:23,373 --> 00:06:25,853 Speaker 3: played a great show, then you know, towed down afterwards, 121 00:06:25,853 --> 00:06:27,653 Speaker 3: got rid of the sweat, and then when watched my 122 00:06:27,733 --> 00:06:31,053 Speaker 3: favorite live band play ACDC.

It's like the passion those guys in the 130 00:06:57,573 --> 00:07:01,013 Speaker 3: sweat that those guys put out, It just totally changed 131 00:07:01,053 --> 00:07:03,813 Speaker 3: my life, you know, like so that's probably on my face. 132 00:07:04,213 --> 00:07:06,373 Speaker 4: Oh well, thank you so much, Johnny too good.
