13
00:00:42,684 --> 00:00:45,444
Speaker 5: Guns the album we actually actually wrote all the songs

14
00:00:45,484 --> 00:00:49,044
Speaker 5: for this album. We're playing them live specifically and right

15
00:00:49,084 --> 00:00:49,924
Speaker 5: so these songs.

16
00:00:49,684 --> 00:00:53,244
Speaker 2: Also okay, it's also this is the most awkward thing

17
00:00:53,244 --> 00:00:55,404
Speaker 2: that you can do with an artist, will sit around.

18
00:00:55,204 --> 00:00:58,284
Speaker 4: And listen to snippets of your songs. So this is Defiant.

19
00:01:00,564 --> 00:01:01,244
Speaker 3: How did that get?

20
00:01:01,724 --> 00:01:17,524
Speaker 4: I wonder, Hey on this is Barnsy. Wow, I've got

21
00:01:17,524 --> 00:01:20,324
Speaker 4: a bit, I'm a bit. It's got a bit tad,

22
00:01:20,884 --> 00:01:23,164
Speaker 4: it's got a bit later and you go up to bed.

23
00:01:24,004 --> 00:01:26,324
Speaker 4: It's got the anger, just ready for the set. I

24
00:01:26,444 --> 00:01:26,724
Speaker 4: like it.

25
00:01:26,804 --> 00:01:27,724
Speaker 2: I like this one.

26
00:01:27,764 --> 00:01:32,684
Speaker 4: I like the single. It's a bit of an earworm,

27
00:01:32,764 --> 00:01:35,484
Speaker 4: this one. You wrote this. I wrote this with Michael Painter,

28
00:01:35,604 --> 00:01:37,284
Speaker 4: you know Michael who Jesus.

29
00:01:36,964 --> 00:01:39,244
Speaker 3: And he was amazing in Jesus.

30
00:01:39,444 --> 00:01:41,484
Speaker 4: Great writer, great singer, great guitar player.

31
00:01:42,044 --> 00:01:45,604
Speaker 1: Wrote back together with an album called Defiant, and that

32
00:01:45,684 --> 00:01:49,644
Speaker 1: really defiant titled song. Obviously, this is you saying I

33
00:01:49,684 --> 00:01:50,764
Speaker 1: will survive anything.

34
00:01:50,964 --> 00:01:53,844
Speaker 5: Yes, well, you know, I've been defiant since I was

35
00:01:53,884 --> 00:01:54,244
Speaker 5: a kid.

36
00:01:54,404 --> 00:01:55,924
Speaker 4: You know, asked my school teachers.

37
00:01:56,724 --> 00:01:59,404
Speaker 5: But I think in the old days I was probably

38
00:01:59,444 --> 00:02:02,924
Speaker 5: more suthern and you know, and belligerent.

39
00:02:03,484 --> 00:02:05,764
Speaker 4: But as I've got older, I've learned more. But being

40
00:02:05,844 --> 00:02:06,844
Speaker 4: defiant so a bad thing.

41
00:02:06,844 --> 00:02:09,644
Speaker 5: It's sort of like, you know, people throw things, you know,

42
00:02:09,764 --> 00:02:12,124
Speaker 5: if you knock you down, if you learn something from it,

43
00:02:12,163 --> 00:02:14,244
Speaker 5: pick yourself up and move forward again, you normally be

44
00:02:14,564 --> 00:02:16,564
Speaker 5: a better person from it. So I'm so defiant in

45
00:02:16,564 --> 00:02:18,243
Speaker 5: that way. I don't I don't sort of stop learning.

46
00:02:18,363 --> 00:02:19,764
Speaker 5: I don't want to, you know, I'll keep coming at

47
00:02:19,803 --> 00:02:20,884
Speaker 5: you till I tell I've got something.

48
00:02:21,004 --> 00:02:23,644
Speaker 2: You're a bit of a You're a bit of you

49
00:02:23,844 --> 00:02:24,763
Speaker 2: like the terminator.

50
00:02:25,163 --> 00:02:28,684
Speaker 4: You can't kill you. I've done the seven lives, you

51
00:02:28,764 --> 00:02:29,844
Speaker 4: got two left.

52
00:02:29,884 --> 00:02:31,804
Speaker 2: But I was watching, like I watched the first show

53
00:02:32,004 --> 00:02:34,164
Speaker 2: of the Big Five O the Colature.

54
00:02:34,724 --> 00:02:36,044
Speaker 4: And I just thought, man, how are you going to

55
00:02:36,124 --> 00:02:38,244
Speaker 4: keep this up for the whole time? And then the

56
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:38,964
Speaker 4: last show.

57
00:02:38,764 --> 00:02:40,124
Speaker 3: And I was there for the last one.

58
00:02:40,324 --> 00:02:42,884
Speaker 2: We were like the book ends Jones, you at the front,

59
00:02:42,923 --> 00:02:45,083
Speaker 2: a man at the back, and I just thought, how

60
00:02:45,084 --> 00:02:45,684
Speaker 2: do you do it?

61
00:02:45,724 --> 00:02:45,964
Speaker 1: How?

62
00:02:46,324 --> 00:02:47,644
Speaker 4: How do you do it? Listen?

63
00:02:47,884 --> 00:02:51,284
Speaker 5: That tour particularly was was a breeze because I mean

64
00:02:51,284 --> 00:02:53,244
Speaker 5: it was just such a joyous occasion. I mean the

65
00:02:53,284 --> 00:02:56,763
Speaker 5: fact that playing fifty years on with my mates and

66
00:02:56,603 --> 00:03:00,324
Speaker 5: my brothers, you know, playing those songs shape my life. Yeah,

67
00:03:00,884 --> 00:03:03,084
Speaker 5: and playing to an audience who were just who were

68
00:03:03,244 --> 00:03:06,244
Speaker 5: literally there with us for every step of this tour

69
00:03:06,324 --> 00:03:08,364
Speaker 5: and every step very emotional it was. And they were

70
00:03:08,404 --> 00:03:10,684
Speaker 5: singing load on the band, so you know you could

71
00:03:10,684 --> 00:03:12,603
Speaker 5: you didn't. I didn't think about it was being hard work.

72
00:03:12,644 --> 00:03:14,084
Speaker 5: I've just seen it as let me on there. It

73
00:03:14,124 --> 00:03:14,564
Speaker 5: was great for it.

74
00:03:14,564 --> 00:03:16,244
Speaker 1: But I also do know how you do it because

75
00:03:16,244 --> 00:03:17,964
Speaker 1: I've seen the food that your wife cooks.

76
00:03:17,964 --> 00:03:21,564
Speaker 3: I've seen swimming regime. She puts you through the fitness

77
00:03:21,603 --> 00:03:24,364
Speaker 3: that you do. You take your body very seriously.

78
00:03:24,483 --> 00:03:25,084
Speaker 4: Well, you have to.

79
00:03:25,163 --> 00:03:27,964
Speaker 5: You know, I'm sixty nine now and I intend to

80
00:03:27,964 --> 00:03:30,404
Speaker 5: be doing this for you know, a long time to come.

81
00:03:30,803 --> 00:03:34,523
Speaker 5: And you know, I think I'm probably healthier fitter now

82
00:03:34,564 --> 00:03:35,844
Speaker 5: than I was when I was twenty one.

83
00:03:35,964 --> 00:03:38,003
Speaker 4: You look at it, you really do do look good. Yeah,
