Now, grunge, where is it? You know,
0:02
metal is back, is alive. The '80s, the
0:05
'90s, metal is, you know, heard more
0:07
than ever now on the festivals. And
0:10
the '90s music that was not that,
0:14
you know, that important that they made
0:17
uh is nowhere to be found, you know.
0:19
>> Exactly. Exactly. It's a It's a It's a
0:22
cliche. You know this. It's in your
0:29
>> Yeah. So, well, we It may be but there's
0:33
something about this art form, and
0:36
that's what it is because it's the way I
0:39
choose to express myself. It is an art
0:41
form. I'm showing you. I'm crafting
0:44
these songs about emotion. Sometimes
0:48
things are really dumb.
0:51
And they have to be because THAT'S ALL
0:52
WE WANT. Sometimes you you want
0:55
Sometimes metal, rock is really dumb.
0:58
Yeah, okay. It's just a feel-good
1:00
>> The thing is that And sometimes it it's
1:04
And it rips your brain apart. BUT THAT'S
1:06

1:44
writing a few good reviews and a good
1:46
article, and break a band by writing a
1:48
few bad reviews. So, they had to be
1:51
respected, and their opinion was
1:53
important. No, it's absolutely wrong.
1:56
The only opinion that matters is the
1:58
fans. They actually paid for their CD.
2:01
They paid for their ticket. They paid
2:03
for their train to get there. They paid
2:06
for their own hotel. The journalists
2:11
So, what did their opinion doesn't
2:14
count. But they thought it counted and
2:16
they told people that it counted. And
2:19
that was wrong back then. Now things are

2:23
internet, we have podcast like yours
2:26
which do things honestly.
2:28
If I'm interested in something I go,
2:30
"Okay, what's he got on his podcast?
2:32
Diamond Letter, what's on? Oh, that's
2:33
I'll go I see the people."
2:36
>> And it's nobody can get in the way. It's
