Matt Pike high on fire ants yeah we'll see about this yeah not updated I hope there's some kind of [ __ ] on there I know I've read a few John's I know you love clearing up [ __ ] yeah I do exactly so oh did you just get how long have you had that lemme tattoo since an hour after he died really yeah would you mind a talk at could you zoom on I just have an idea my friends uh my sound man's tattoo shop with my other friend Jordan you was a tattoo artist from New Orleans that's who I live with down there when I'm staying down there and uh yeah well let me I had to get Lenny awesome man so I'll read some stuff out in Wikipedia today yeah you can prove and disprove and elaborate if you want okay it says you were born first of all and Denver Colorado no no I was born in Southfield Michigan at Providence Hospital at 1:34 p.m. and yeah and yeah Providence Hospital there's okay so I was not born in Denver isn't it weird how much they can just get this wrong it did you moved to California after spending time in military school while living with your mother and Golden Colorado yep that's true that's correct military school military school I don't even know home for a little juvie why did juvie and then I got put in military school because I was a bad kid damn yeah what'd you do to get to juvie and I was stole out of cars car stereos and [ __ ] get all right your kid I haven't stolen anything since you know like side of a lighter yeah I don't steal stuff anymore it's like you know I learned my lesson yeah for sure how did military school treat your heart it sucks looking blue [ __ ] sounded horrible sort yeah I can't even explain uh this one it says that you enjoy marijuana I do yes that's fact I do and you know I've been doing that a lot more I've been struggling with um you know alcohol on and off really long time sure when I'm a habitual slipper I'll go months you know without drinking and then the habitual slip but if I have a bunch of marijuana throughout the day I do a lot better like I'm pretty stoned right now and yeah all I did was eat ravioli have some tea and like now I'm doing an interview and like you know I enjoy marijuana sleep it said that Justin Marlar quit the band to take up life as an orthodox monk sure's that's strong Kodiak Island living with the [ __ ] bears and they have two that have to eat stuff out of the sea and during the times a year they'd have to farm crops you know during harvest before the winter time would come because he lived in Alaska on Kodiak Island Wow truth she's amazing dude yeah he still keep in touch with him I see him he comes to the shows and stuff so yeah is he still into that lifestyle he's a little different mean he's got like a wife and a kid I do believe her it's his girlfriend or I don't know how that is with him but I see him every now and then I'll get him another show and he'll hang out for a while and stuff you know awesome it's warm acquaintance I don't like yo we don't fly do each other's houses or anything anymore but yeah you know he's great guy pretty amazing dude it says uh you know back in the dope smoker day sleep swore and talked with both London and electro records at one point you guys chose a sign to London because you were promised artistic freedom and since the label didn't have any metal bands at the time sleep felt like they would receive special treatment yeah enough special treatment but just like more of like you know if you have a label that has a bunch of metal bands on it they're going to do ads which have all their metal bands cuz they're right there you know we figured you know they're gonna advertise this as sleep it's not grotus it's not this it's not that it's not all the other bands on their label they focus on one band you know fur so we we wouldn't get thrown in a basket with all their other stuff they're trying to sell gotcha you know and it gave us a bigger advance which we needed to record that record that was kind of a hell of a thing to get down on tape the dope smoker you ended up with three different versions of the song yeah well there's a bunch recorded with different vocals and different you know low yeah one one was more of a space one one was more of a sand dunes one and and yeah we did quite a few different versions that were on the reel to reels and reason uh yeah I don't want to elaborate much more on that like alright that but fact legally book fact okay legally gotcha in ninety seven sleep called it quits after you know London refused to release the dope smoker Jerusalem record it said that you couldn't come to terms with the breakup of sleep and suffered from some depression at that time um yeah me and Al did but I got right back on it I started high on fire like six months after I'm on I can't not be planned that's what I do you know exactly but yeah we all had some depression over that I mean we put ten long years into it from 89 to 97 like we put a lot of time into it you know and that was our lives and that's what our future looked like to us you know in it and to have that just you know kind of crumble under your feet it's pretty depressing you know absolutely it says going after that after the dissolution of sleep hire and fire developed from your simple need just to go out and play guitar again yeah yeah yeah there's a guitar for especially guitar yeah well I mean for me and I'm at des phenomenal drummer and we just we clicked like all quick yes we just started writing songs and writing songs and you know we went through a few different bass players and another guitar player and then other people trying to sing and then basically we boiled it down to like you know found a bass player and then I'm like okay I'll take the singing job [ __ ] it I'll just learn how to sing you know I'm been doing it ever since oh yeah says is a guest star you voiced an unnamed character on Metalocalypse oh yeah I was just a clock a tear that had to tell skwisgaar his mom had too much coming her to like tell who his father was bass it was pretty rude and I was [ __ ] cracking up when I what I had to do the voiceovers like Brendan's just sitting there looking at me all [ __ ] like I'm just waiting for him waiting for it dude I wrote that line specifically to [ __ ] make to make you read that is a how many times did you have to get through it to stop like like two or three okay he's just all no it's perfectly all right if you feel awkward that means it went well yeah okay okay good all right the clock it's here very good lastly did the clarity Adult Swim approached you to release that song as part of its weekly series and you guys wrote it in just a few days yeah just a couple of days to get wrote in a few days and recorded it pretty quick it took a couple days and yeah I was kind of amazing how quick that process went yeah you know I think I got together with ami Jay now had like a couple days to jam and I had gotten together with Al before that just me and him on guitar and yeah kind of put all the put all the riffs together and figured out like you know some solo breaks and stuff like that and then went back to Jason we arranged it and there you have it it came out pretty good so looking forward to this next some of the sleep stuffs really [ __ ] good oh I can't wait lots of work on that 12th fret oh yeah yeah there's no other way for sleeves it's only beautiful I want to thank you so much for sitting down giving me some of your time today yeah really do appreciate it man new sleep and new high on fire hopefully coming in 2017 yeah well I'm trying you know I'm not gonna rush anything though either man I'm not gonna I hate putting deadlines on things that you'd have time taken care of so yeah I am promising I given a
