one last time test the audience to see if I could jump into it and I failed. You know, and I stood there for a long time and I know they couldn't read my mind, but I was trying to like with my eyes trying to tell them, don't hurt me. Can't you tell? I mean, haven't you read enough bitching? We're not rock stars, you know, we're not trying to be. Although we did display a lot of rock star. They immediately just started grabbing for me and trying to rip my flesh off for souvenirs. You know, oh, I have a piece of Kurt's forearm. Well, that's, I think that's a reaction.

I was really, for a long time, obviously I was contemplating whether I should do it or not, but I just wanted to try to do, because it used to be so much fun in clubs reminiscing about the old days. I used to be able to jump out in the audience and then the audience would carry me all the way to the back and roll around all the way to the back and it was really fun. It was like a celebration. Everyone's jumping. These kids just, some of them understand that. They're not used to that, so it's all they know how to do is to tear people apart. Phil fifteen feet, but it's not really fifteen feet. It's about six feet.

And we didn't want to have to have, like, security to, like, beat up on people to keep them in line and stuff. But since we've had the experience and since we've played a bunch of shows like this, there hasn't been any trouble.

Sometimes they don't have any control over that. The kids don't have any control over that. They're being pushed over, you know? So it's not their fault. I've noticed, like, in a lot of places, especially, like, in England and a lot of those festivals in Europe, the bouncers seem to be a lot more accommodating to kids. They're really cautious in not being. making sure that they're not really mean or, you know, abusive to the kids. But in the States, we've run into a lot of problems before. I mean, I've actually gotten in total fistfights with them before and, like, had to be saved by my manager and, you know, and stuff like that because nothing.

And then we started getting too much into straight-ahead garage grunge music, pretty much what Bleach was like, and then Nevermind was more pop, a little bit more commercial. And now we're kind of reverting back to the first thing, which would sound more like Ancestor Side, just other stuff. We just happened to be really into the idea at the time. It seemed like a really challenging idea at the time because we were playing punk rock underground clubs, and we thought it would be really funny to test that out on those kind of people.

I mean, there's nothing better than, you know, that much of a capacity of people, you know, in tune with the band and giving off that much energy.

ruin our reputation and only a few thousand people from every city would show up. That wasn't the case. And then we realized that because of the production costs to bring our own lights and our own PA and all that stuff, it costs a lot of money and if we were to just play like venues and clubs and stuff, we'd be totally in the hole. We're not nearly as rich as everyone thinks we are.

I've had two years to recuperate. Fine, we'd still be doing it, but we've made a point to sleep on the bus as much as possible because buses are kind of expensive, so we're not staying in hotels as much as we would normally, or a lot of other bands would. Yeah, one of those typical. I remember a few years ago, you know, when we were lugging around our own equipment in a van, you know, like five people cooped up in a van with our own equipment, we would see a band with a big bus and go, man, what a bunch of gluttonous bastards, you know? What a waste. Those things must cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, you know? And also, I looked into it, and if. Okay, how do I explain this? If we were to stay in a hotel every night, let's say we drove in a van and stayed in a nice hotel every night, it would equal out the same. If we didn't rent a bus and stayed on the bus most of the time, so what's the difference? You know? No, we just love vinyl. I only still buy vinyl. The only CDs I own are CDs that have been given to me. I just love vinyl. It's just something.

Oh, God. How do you explain something as pure as that? I'm at a loss for words when that subject comes up. A long time ago, when their first cassette came out on K Records. You know, when we took them on tour with us in England, it was weird because obviously, probably ninety percent of the whole audience had never heard of them before. And instantly, they were just taken in by them. They just were, they're almost crying. You know, you could just see everyone just like completely fucking amazed by them, you know. And it's just, I don't know what it is. It's just something that you can't explain. It's something that's really, really sincere and good. Blah, blah, blah, blah. You can't put it in words.
