WEBVTT - Daughtry 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.640 Are we good? Back in the home studio? Things are 0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:08.239 sounding crisp sibiments. Check one, check one. I like that 0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:11.400 I just had some cheese and a Noma breast smells spot. 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.600 But I don't care because no one else is in here. 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.360 The one silver lining this pandemic is that I've been 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:19.640 able to eat cheese without the worry that people will 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.520 judge me for cheese breath. Let's normalized cheese breath, right, 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:28.720 all right? Started? This is a Wells cast with Wells 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:33.400 atoms and I heart radio podcast. Put a peops out 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:39.600 there in the podcast world. Hope everyone's having a wonderful day. 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.400 I feel like I feel like vaccines for me right 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.560 around the corner. I feel like I'm about to get 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.720 that shot. And then guess what, your boy's gonna go 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.040 black out of the bar. I don't know, it's gonna 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:53.960 be a while from now. But I was over at 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.400 my buddy's house a couple of nights ago, who's a 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.200 phenomenal musician, and we were talking about it, and like, 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.360 you know, early in my career, I went to like 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.360 three or four shows a week when I was doing radio, 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.480 which is kind of part of the deal. Like you know, 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.160 you wanted to have your finger on the pulse. So 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.720 what was happening in Nashville? And you know it was 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.240 also one of the perks is that I was a 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.679 tony something kid and I got free tickets to everything 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.480 because I would talk about the show, you know, before 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.959 and after on the radio. And there was a time 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:22.319 in my life in which I mean I loved it, 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:23.440 But there was a time in life I was like, 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.000 oh my god, I got in another show. I can't 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.960 I can't die. And now what I would give to 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.760 see live music. I would go see terrible bands just 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.880 to be like, I'm back in a bar drinking a beer. 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.720 I go see like a children's musician. I go to 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.959 Raffi right now at Hotel Cafe and just get blindly 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.000 drunk and love every second of it. I just missed 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.960 live music so freaking much. It's ridiculous. Speaking of on 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.520 the show today, we've got someone who is actually putting 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.520 on a live show, which is hard to do these days. 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:58.800 So you have to do with zoom and all this 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.200 crazy stuff. Technology. Gee, you need some high speed internet. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.840 Elon must probably needs to be involved sending down some internet. 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.080 I don't know how it works, but I know that 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.160 he's got an awesome live show coming up and listen. 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:14.040 I know, I think I believe we are about through this, 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.320 Like you can't go have fun anymore time, but till then. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.040 My guest today has a really cool idea of how 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.120 to actually experience some live music. Can you get blacked 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.280 out drunk on your couch and still see the live music? 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.440 Yeah you can. He's figured it out. He's doing a 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.560 live show from Nashville, my old stopping grounds coming up 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.520 on March twelveth. We'll tell you all about it a bit, 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.000 but for someone do the whole thing where I like, 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.079 I get you ready for it. This guy one of 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:41.400 the most successful American Idol non winners in the history 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.040 of the show. Yeah he is. He was on season five. 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.760 That's going way back right. He's a multi platinum Grammy 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:52.359 nominated musician. Before going on American Idol, he was a 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.160 service advisor at a car dealership in North Carolina. What 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.320 gotta hear about that? But he's not just a musician. 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.679 Is an actor as well. He's been on CSI New York. 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:06.920 He played Judas in a musical TV movie. What he 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.919 was on The Mass Singer got second place and He's 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.440 one of the most beloved people to come out of 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:18.400 American Idol. His record sales speak for themselves. On the 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:23.320 Wells Cast today we have the one, the only Chris Daughtry. Guys, 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.760 this is a show you do not want to miss. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:36.960 I promise you stick around. Yeah. Back on the Wells Cast. 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.160 They're excited to have I believe, one of the most 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.600 popular American Idol people ever on the show. But he's 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.880 done the thing that a lot of reality people struggle with, 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.840 which is take that fifteen minutes and really build it 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:54.320 into this amazing career. Chris Daughtry, thank you so much 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:58.160 for being on the show. Been a big fan of 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:02.040 yours for a while. And I guess I didn't realize 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.440 that you were a Nashville guy. I used to live there. 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.520 I was a radio host in Nashville for years. First 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.040 of all, thank you, thank you so much. But we 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.880 we moved here about I guess in Gelotopy five years. 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.359 So it still feels kind of new to us, to 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.800 be honest, because we're we have so many kids, were 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.080 always home. We don't really get a chance to to 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:25.640 be out in it. Um. We live slightly outside of downtown, 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.960 so we're not in in all the craziness. But it's cool. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.640 It's it's uh. It kind of reminds me of where 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.000 I grew up in North Carolina, um as far as 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.480 the landscape of it all real quick, because you're a 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.600 Nashville guy and I was a Nashville guy. What's your 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:48.640 go to hot chicken? I haven't eaten chicken in two years, 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.920 three almost three years. I kind of stay away from 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.919 the meat man, all right, smart move, not because of 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.960 the vegetarian thing, but because of the diarrhea that comes 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.839 the next day. So could call on that. Yeah, there, 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.560 there's there. There was that as well. Yeah, yeah, I 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.360 saw that you're doing dough Free live from Nashville. It's 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:13.320 going to be a virtual show on March twelve people 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.960 Combiny tickets at gigs dot Live. I was looking at 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.400 your Instagram and you were kind of showcasing what it's 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.359 gonna be like, and it's so dope, dude. But it 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.400 also is like a little Hunger Game Z to me. 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.200 It's so Hunger Games. It's so like it. I was 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.440 in there and I'm like, holy sh we're really in 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.360 the future here. Like one year ago, if you would 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.840 have told me we're gonna be doing a show in 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.640 front of screens and you're gonna be talking to the fans, 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.320 and they're gonna be talking to you, but they're gonna 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.359 be in their living room may or may not be 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.400 wearing pants. We would have just thought it was the 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.200 craziest ship we've ever heard ever, and you know, here 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.760 we are and it's super bizarre. We did a we 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.279 did a live stream tour just me and my guitar 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:01.040 player back in the fall, and that was even weirder 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.479 because it was just in front of a camera but 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.200 we didn't see anyone, so there was no It was 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:10.039 like crickets after every song, and we just had to 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.440 finally like say, you know what, screw this, We're gonna 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.480 have fun, me and you and then if they they 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.080 see that that they're going to have a good time too, 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.960 because we realized that we were really dependent on the 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.679 audience reaction for us to like have a good time, 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.720 like this is back ass words. It should be we're 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.200 having a good time, therefore you're enjoying the show. Not 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.280 you're enjoying the show. So I'm going to be better 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.520 at it. This whole year has been a learning curve 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.440 for everybody trying to figure out how to do your 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.039 job differently. Um, and that was certainly a a weird one, 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.279 but this this feels like it's at least a little 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.760 more connected where we get to see faces. I don't 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.520 even know if they're gonna be watching the show. It 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.560 might just be pre recorded faces just to make us 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.200 feel better. I was talking about it leading up to 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:58.080 calling you, and I miss going to see live music 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.120 so much. And the weird stuff too, of like the 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.240 chats that you have outside with like the chain smoker 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.640 that you haven't seen in a while in between sets, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.840 and like the blacking out and like forgetting to close 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.600 your bark. Like there's like a lot of like little 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.440 intricacies of like the live show that it was, this event, 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.360 and it sucks that we've been robbed of it for 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.200 this past year. And it's cool that you guys have 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.240 figured out a way to somewhat bring it back to 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.960 what we remember. And it's so funny too, because I think, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.320 as a person in the audience, you forget how the 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:36.960 energy is looped between the audience and the artist, because 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:41.200 the artist gives the fans energy and then they fans 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.040 give it back to you. And it's like you're on 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.640 this cyclical loop of energy together. Yeah, and you're hearing 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.440 them sing the songs sometimes louder than you are, and 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:54.280 and that's like an unbelievable feeling. And if we do 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:59.480 that now, it's going to cut out the feed m 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.000 it's every all the sounds gonna drop and we're gonna 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.880 lose our place. Um It's it's a weird. And I 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.520 saw like the Flaming Lips were doing like bubbles where 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.760 everybody was, even the crowd was in bubbles. Did you 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.200 see that? I'm like, how is how does that work? 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.800 Like how do you prevent someone from like completely blacking 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:22.200 out from from exhaustion and heat? And it's just a weird, 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.440 weird living in the jets ands like we're there, Yeah, 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:29.960 especially because the Flaming Lips fans are already out there 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.440 and weird, you know, like the band, the band, the 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.960 singer has always done the bubble thing, right, like that's 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.520 a thing for him. I don't know, I don't know 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.880 if I could ever do that. The mass singer was 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.440 like the closest thing I came to, like singing in 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.520 a bubble, and that was I almost passed out every 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.880 every episode, So no thanks on that. I think we'll 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.679 stick with the screens until we can get back in 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.880 in front of people. I haven't seen my band and 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.600 over a year other than the two people, the two 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.120 band members that live in Nashville. Like it's it's been 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:00.960 like a weird time loop. I don't know about you, 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.960 and it feels like someone just turned the dial and 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:07.080 here we are. We're in and we're still not in 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.600 front of people, and I don't know when it's gonna change. 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.440 I don't know. I think that you figure out, like 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.800 at least a good something for everyone to go do 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.679 and again March twelve. You can be a part of this. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.679 Dot Frey Live from Nashville. Grab tickets at gigs dot live. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.240 Are there like tears, like like are some people getting 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.640 to like ask questions or be more interactive or like 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.760 how does this work? I don't know how they're selecting it. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.480 I don't want to say the wrong thing, but I 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:36.040 don't know how they're selecting the fans. But they're however 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.000 many fit on those screens that they'll they'll be selected. 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.839 I don't know if it's the first so many people 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.160 they bought tickets, or how they're doing it. That's out 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.280 of my hands. But they'll be fans. What I'm saying 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.400 is they'll be fans. And I think at the end 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.559 of the show, certain fans I don't I think it 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.160 might be a tear where they buy into the I 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:57.760 don't know if they're part of the fan club or what. 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.360 I should know more about this as I'm saying this, 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.320 I should know more. That's what I'm realized. But yeah, 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.080 there's gonna be a Q and A and um, yeah, 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.680 it's it's cool and and in some ways like this 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:14.000 is uh, probably a little more interactive than you know 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.360 if they were to see us on stage somewhere, because 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.240 there is no Q and A. There's no like in 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.760 the middle of a song, you know, talking to you 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.840 know so and so sometimes there is I guess if 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:29.640 they're they're interrupting the set, But which has happened. It's 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.760 a trade off, right, Like you get to experience it differently. 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:34.960 You get to be in your own home. You don't 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:39.040 have anybody spilling beer on you, um, unless you just 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.800 have that drunk uncle over and he's just lost it 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.280 and he's out of control, or brother doesn't have to 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.600 be uncle, or sometimes mom sometimes mom just had too much. 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.000 I don't know, it's a really cool thing. I think 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:52.840 that this is the best because I've I've talked to 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.839 a lot of people who have been doing the live 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.240 shows and the small live showcases and stuff, and I 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.120 think this is the best execute did the thing that 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.280 I've seen so far. And if you're just like wondering 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.520 if this is something you want to go do, go 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:11.000 to Chris's instagram at Daughtry and it's like the like 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.360 the third thing you put three posts to go is 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:18.280 a really cool like showcase of what the stage looks like, 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.079 what the backdrop looks like, and then like what the 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.920 fans will be looking like looking back at you guys. 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.160 I don't know if you remember when the NBA was 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.400 in the playoffs or whatnot, everyone's kind of stuck in 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.360 Orlando and they had put TV screens where the seats 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.160 were and everyone was just sitting there watching it. It's 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:35.960 kind of like that. So it's a really cool thing, 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:41.960 complete disease free. Yeah atmosphere, let's drunk moms next to you, 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.240 and then who knows what's going to happen. I saw 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.760 you got some new music out and the new song 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.160 that you've got out is World on Fire, which I 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.360 was reading about it and that was kind of like 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.760 a nod to the Australia fires. Yeah, when we originally 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.880 wrote it, Um Scott and Marty much producers. When we 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.640 were writing that song, it started out as um, you know, 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.120 we were just kind of on Instagram looking at you know, 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.600 the fires that were taking place, and the George Floyd 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.280 thing hadn't happened yet, but there was certainly no shortage 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.360 of police brutality going on even then. I can't remember 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.400 who it was. I don't know if it was Mod 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:22.199 Aubrey or Brianna Taylor. It was just like one bad 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.480 thing after another. And I remember were us just saying, man, 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.240 the damn world's on fire, and we're like, that's what 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.000 we gotta, right, And we were going through. Scott had 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.880 this this folder and I don't know, kind I swear 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:37.360 on this, I don't know, Yeah, alright, perfect, he had 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.320 this folder and we were He said, I got a 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:43.040 few like riff starts here and there, just let's listen 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.480 to it and see if anything like inspires us. And 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.760 I saw this folder and said, threshes, I was like, 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.520 let's play that one. And it was. It was the 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.400 opening riff, literally the opening of of what you know 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.320 as the song now, and I was like, that is 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.640 what we need to work on, and it just kind 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.680 of start it right in itself. We were just talking 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.040 about everything that was was wrong with the world. And 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:10.080 then fast forward to because this was in January, fast 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.679 forward to like two months later, We're all scratching our 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.199 heads like how did we know? Like holy sh it, 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:19.920 like the sickness is rising, like there was no sickness 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.880 going on, and um, you know, twenty dead in a 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.280 cop car, bleeding like all this stuff. We were like, 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.400 oh my god, it was like we had a crystal 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.800 ball or something. And uh, I didn't want people to 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:33.640 think we were just writing about so we kind of 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.520 held off. We didn't we didn't release it right away 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.440 because I didn't want it to sound like, hey, look 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:42.000 at what we wrote, this is what's happening right now. 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.160 But it felt very aproposed for the first single. For sure, 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.319 I know that there's a new record on the way. 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.679 I wonder this not just for you, but like for 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.920 every musician that I've interviewed, The stuff that comes out 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:59.800 after this year has got me the most sad bastard dark, 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:05.360 like deepest Ryan Adams lyrics ever. That is how It's 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.040 gonna come. It's absolutely the deepest ship I've ever written 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:13.080 in my career. It's the most introspective that I've ever written. 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.800 For sure, It's definitely got, I don't want to give 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.520 too much away, but it's also probably in some ways 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.240 the most hopeful. There hasn't been a shortage of things 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.960 to write about, and this year has been I think 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.200 transformative for so many people and and forced us to 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.200 really look at ourselves and and face our own baggage 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.760 and bullets. And I think this record has been extremely 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:39.720 therapeutic for me. I just finished vocals on it last week. 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.160 We're getting the band on it like it's the record 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.160 is actually happening. But I feel like at this point, 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.320 if we release it would be like throwing a ball 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.160 out to just the open field and just falling to wherever. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.280 And we're like, we can't go out and tour on it. 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.720 We're trying to figure out when it's coming out. I 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.720 don't know yet, but we are going to be releasing 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.240 a new single very soon, so I can say that 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:06.360 um And we just put up a limited edition vinyl 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:10.520 World on fire and Side B is the next single 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.360 that we have yet to tell anyone the title of, 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.400 but I'm super pumped on it. Be shooting a video 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.760 on it, uh this weekend actually, So yeah, there's a 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.920 lot of a lot of stuff going on, but hopefully 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.360 we can actually get out there and support it at 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.400 the same time, you know, I talked to a lot 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.320 of musicians and they're putting stuff out and I'm like, 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.160 this is tough because it's expensive to put out music 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.840 and when you can't recoup by selling merch and touring 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.600 behind something, then if I was a businessman in the 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.360 music industry, I'd be like, you just got to hold 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.320 off until people can go to festival. So I applaud 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.840 you for like sticking around waiting for it. It's that 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.520 double edged sword, like you know, we're all running out 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.880 of new things to listen to, so we're like, we 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.800 feel bad for the fans, yet we're like, but we gotta, 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.840 you know, pay our bills too, and holding onto it 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.240 might not be Um, I don't know. It's like we 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.480 hold onto it and you're doing nothing. You at least 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.720 release it and something's happening. So um, yeah, it's it's 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.960 a tricky, tricky thing to navigate. You did a mass 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.040 sing or you the Rottweilder. I've had a bunch of 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.200 people from Massinger, m mass Dancer on the show, and 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:20.680 my thing is this is it smells so bad in there? 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.600 Or do they for breeze it before and afterwards? Oh 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:28.560 it's the worst, It's awful. Um did you ever did 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.720 you ever play any sports in high school? So like 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:36.320 it's like locker room smell, So did you ever play football? 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:41.080 You ever smelled the pads? And it like day one, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.720 it was like this has been used by day. By 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:48.240 day like seven, it's like, oh my god, I don't 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:49.600 even know if they made for breeze when I was 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.600 in high school. But so it just it just kept 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.480 getting worse. But that's how it was. It was like 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.240 day one. I'm like, oh, but it was a little 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.360 different because it wasn't like used football gear. It was 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.880 new to me. So everything in it was my fault, 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:10.199 Like I caused every smell in this thing. By like 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:14.960 third episode, I'm like, this is this is getting tough 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.280 to deal with. They would try, they would for breathe it, 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.200 they would sit it out in the sun, probably let 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.680 it air bait. I don't know it was. It was right. 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.400 Luckily they did their best. They did their best to 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.280 try to air it out and make it a little 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.200 more livable. That was a lot of information about smell. 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:34.359 By the last question about about mass Singer, I heard 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.639 that you chose the rottweiler for a reason. Yeah. So 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:40.840 when they approached me to do the show, they had 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:45.879 like three or four different costume options, and I was like, 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.200 I'm gonna have to just go with the rottweiler because 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:51.360 I have a connection to a rottweiler. I got bit 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.680 by one when I was like fourteen or fifteen. My 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:58.280 mom watched this This blind lady took care of her 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.680 a few days a week, helping out stuff around the house, 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.320 and she had this rottweiler and she was like, Oh, Chris, 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.879 this is the sweetest dog ever. Don't don't be afraid. 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.359 You can come over here in Petter. The very second 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.080 I reached my hand out, this dog jumped up and 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.600 snapped my leg and it scared the living ship out 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.640 of me, ripped through my jeans, barely scratched the skin. 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.080 I'm not gonna try trying not to be too dramatic. 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.960 Barely scratched the skin, but it scarred my soul for life. 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.399 It was terrifying. This dog's head was like the size 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.280 of my head on the show. It was. It could 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.480 have ripped my leg off if it wanted to. I 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.320 don't know if it was scared that I was getting 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.639 too close to its owner and and didn't trust me. 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.600 I don't know. Maybe it was the nineties geens. I 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.360 don't know. Maybe it didn't like baggy jeans. I don't 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.840 I don't really know the motive. But it bit me, 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.720 and it scared me, and I never touched that dog again, 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:55.040 and I don't think I've pet a Rottweiler since. So 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:59.719 it was me embracing and facing my fears, much like 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.720 Swayne became a game batman because it was terrified about 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.080 I like that. Okay, I'm running out of time with you, 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:08.600 but I want to kind of flip over to like 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:10.600 my portion of the show. I don't know if anyone 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.280 told you, but this is an Origin Stories podcast, so 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.840 I like to find out where people came from and 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:21.240 how the hell they got here. You down, all right, quick, brighton, 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.600 we come back. Chris Daughtry tells us where he came 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.800 from and why the fun he is on this show? 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:37.679 Stick around all right back in the Wales cast have 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.240 Christofrey on the show. He's gonna be doing a live 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:45.520 show from Nashville, which you can virtually be a part of. 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.960 It's coming up on March twelve, by your tickets over 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:51.359 at gigs dot Live. I want to know you know, 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:55.520 obviously there's been a whole lot of information about you 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.520 pre American Idol. So where did you come from? Man? 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:04.200 In a small, small, small town called Laska, North Carolina. 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.720 I don't think it was on the map until after 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:08.639 I was on an American Idol, to be honest, I 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:13.520 think it was a town of like nine people one stoplight. No, 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:18.280 I think it was a hundred people actually, but it 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.160 was like one street. I was around music all my life, 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.199 but never really um never really showed an interest. I 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.480 was always into art, Batman, I was. I wanted to 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:31.200 be a comic book artist actually, way before I ever 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.919 picked up a guitar, even though my dad played guitar, 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:38.240 My granddad played guitar. It was around music, but never 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.040 showed any interest other than like singing along with the radio. 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:45.119 Didn't really give the nineties hit and I started getting into. 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.560 My brothers started turning me onto like, you know, Metallica 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:53.159 Black album and this band called Live, this Throwing Copper album. 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:55.639 He was like, oh, you gotta listen to this, and 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:57.960 I remember kind of blowing it off at first, and 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.680 bands like Sound Garden and Stone Temple Pilots I got 0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:03.800 really heavy into them. But there was this album called 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.320 Throwing Copper that I kind of kept going back to 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:08.640 and listening to. And the more I listened, the more 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:10.679
