@@g0stkid8_3 i can’t say this enough, I’m NOT a DGD fan, like i am only cause i support Andrew as a friend. So the DGD part was really just to get that out of the way and then we could have more of a normal convo as we usually do on the podcast. Thanks for checking it out and hope you did the non DGD parts:

@@BREWtallySpeakingPodcast the whole thing was awesome. Being a musician myself, I don’t normally watch interviews because it’s always the same nonsense questions that get asked. I think people forget that they are humans as well, and I had no idea how much I actually have in common with him. The interview only made me like Eidola and DGD that much more. Thanks for putting these out. I’ll definitely be checking out some of your other conversations when I have some more time.

@@nt5811 i never delete comments, unless it’s like racist or horrible shit like that and even then KZbin usually gets it before i do. I feel like taking down comments that aren’t favorable is a bulllshit thing to do. A few things worth noting as i answer your question, this was pretty early into me doing this show and sort of the crossroads of me being so regimented with written down questions versus what i do now where i have a conversation with the person with no prompts. I’ll say letting go of that safety blanket of having everything prepared with a whole conversation I’ve had in my head, and on paper, before I’ve ever spoken a word to the guest felt weird and fake. So sometimes we tend to over talk trying to find the right words or questions. It’s something I’ve learned to not do from speaking to more foreign guests. That it’s ok to stop and collect your thoughts and then proceed. More to the point, at this time Dave hadn’t done any press really since leaving the band, was still pretty early in his sobriety. I recall feeling like he gave some longer answers, but at times he gave some quick ones and i was expecting him to go more in depth, and honestly idk if it’s due to him not wanting to talk about these things or not. I know that when we were done he said he enjoyed himself, his wife liked some of the questions i asked, and we’ve stayed in touch since. So at the end of the day as long as the person i have on didn’t walk away feeling like it was a waste of time, that’s all i really care about. Also….and i don’t mean this in any hostile way, if you think you can do better….start a podcast or a website/blog. It’s literally how i started this and the amount of people ive gotten to talk to and become friends with is fucking wild. All cause i had the same reaction to a video i watched as you did to this one. I’m sorry this one disappointed you, obviously not what i want to hear, but I’ll take the criticism/feedback and hopefully if you check out another one that’s a more enjoyable experience for you.

Honestly don’t recall that part of the chat. There’s also stuff that was discussed pre hitting record that was more salacious than that, and that’s what i always remember from this chat with bubbles.

@@BREWtallySpeakingPodcast 19:45. I didn't hear anything else salacious. would have loved to hear more about BYD. Got an idea for ya. do an update chat with him. he left ATR, joined D.R.U.G.S. and is back in BYD, doing shows. would love to hear what it's like working with Craig Owens (noted for being a VERY difficult person) in comparison to Matt Bruso (noted for being a total sweetheart) lol

@@rickyiglesias5384 he and i still DM on occasion, he’s been getting back into more teching and stuff as of late. Idk what’s going on with DRUGS, i think they have new music coming out, but i feel like it was mostly Craig doing it all?

@@BREWtallySpeakingPodcast yeah, I think Bubble was only a touring member of DRUGS. but teaching? didnt know he was in that field. i know Bruso was. unless that's who you were referring to.

@@rickyiglesias5384 yea i know, and he talked about it in the ep, about how he used to tech for various bands and doing TM stuff so i think he’s just been doing whatever keeps him busy and on the road.

Thanks for checking this out. If you haven’t already David and Gene were on Garza podcast and i thought it was an interesting convo.

@@BREWtallySpeakingPodcast oh yeah I already did. That interview got me back into KING 810's music. Hadn't listened to them since LPM or a CWG. Really cool stuff. Thanks

I too enjoy a happy Jordan. Thanks for checking this out

If it’s the song before the intro that’s Remember These Nights by Chae Hawk. If it’s the one after the intro that’s Pretty Lights by Heartsick.

I am sure nothing will change your mind but I am going to attempt to. Your "judging character" comment and insinuation that Andrew is letting you down by speaking this way I feel is a bit unfair, I think if you zoomed out and looked at the big picture you'd see that although Ronnie is a juvenile dick... He is still a talented musician that has a legacy making songs people somehow enjoy. The fact he is headlining these tours that other established bands like DGD are seeing as "big financial opportunities" speaks volumes. I'm sure you understand DGD in all it's forms is a unique band that doesn't really fit in a mainstream genre box, Tillian helped pioneer a marketable sound for them but they can no longer reap those benefits and they undoubtably have lost fans with his departure. Which brings us back to Ronald- Now imagine you are Ronnie, no matter what he does the guy can't exist anywhere without people spitting venom at him over his past mistakes, merely mentioning his name is enough to make people hiss like cats. We need to be honest that nobody wants to give him a chance- and at this point, nobody wants to see him succeed or do good things. They want him to act out again so they can point and say "SEE, I KNEW IT" because he fits the villain role so well and people love to doormat his name. Media companies profit off his name/controversy in a way that is just plain unfair. This is likely what Wells refers to and why he doesn't care anymore, he probably knows Ronnie personally and might not agree with everything he does but knows he is a harmless dude and they have a business relationship playing music. His "the fans see us as these cartoonish characters" was dead on, they are human beings. Surely you've known someone in your life that had a bad reputation for something that everyone knew them for but you really knew them and that they were just normal people with redeeming qualities.

@@DoYaPhilMeh So I'll start off and agree that I think it is a good financial decision for the band. I cannot fault them for that. They have always been a business. That became vehemently clear to me when they kicked kurt out to bring jonny back so many years ago. That's the only point I can agree with here. You keep talking about Ronnie's "past mistakes" when he is still very much making mistakes to this day and very much owning them. He spits vitriol at bands and artists he doesn't like and uses his platform to preach dangerous rhetoric and has no remorse for any of it. So no, he's not just some misunderstood dude that Andrew must know better than the rest of us. If I had a friend like Ronnie then I would very much cut ties with him, especially if he showed no signs of changing. So in the end no, you won't change my mind.
