Zetro's Toxic Vault - Lars Frederiksen, July 21, 2020 Part 3 of 3

[@toddsnyder7765]

I Love this one. Lars and Zetro fanboying over old school wrestling!!! What a GREAT interview!

[@MINOTAURunOfficial]

Hey Zet, Back at it taking care of business. Hip deep in the days of the pandemic, dealin’ with it under another lockdown. As you might of noticed got a new handle, and just so there’s no confusion, the easiest way I can explain is to think of it like THE WHO and the song “Won’t Get Fooled Again” with the phrase “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss”. In other words the channel’s name may of changed but the game’s still the same. Horns up to you and Walt for your continued support of MINOTAUR. Really does mean the world to me! It’s a real honor! Thank you! ⛧🤘 This episode, 3 of 3 interview with Lars, is my favorite. I’m not a RANCID or The Casuals fan, if I’m honest. I’m more of a full on meat n’ potatoes Metalhead and proud of that fact. And yet, at the same time, being that Lars and I are from the same era, same side of the street so to speak, I can definitely relate to what Lars talks about in this episode. Especially concerning friendships, relationships, and personal defense mechanisms. I appreciate the depth, and the range of subject matter that you both touched upon, and Horns up for encouraging Lars speak his mind. Not many interviewers would have the guts, nor the attention span to keep up, or care.. for that matter, and I just wanted you to know that I listened to every word.⛧🤘 On with the show notes: Intentionally goin’ in reverse here, so bear with me.. 54:55 Amen! When you bring Lars back, let’s hear more on this + How about a match between you and Lars for TOXIC TRIVIA? 50:54 And that friends and trolls, is the bottom line. The realization that undue stress is no good for the mind, the body or the soul. This awareness and knowledge, together, is THE key that unlocks one’s own three lock box. For those Red Rocker fans out there you already know what I’m talking about. For those that don’t... The realization that YOUR well-being is worth more than its weight in gold, is all that matters in this life. And for damn sure worth more than constantly & consistently having to give a fuck about those that could give a shit less about you. THIS! specific awareness is paramount not only to self-healing, but one-thousand percent the catalyst for positive change, i.e. moving the fuck on. Having toxic people in your life, toxic so-called “friends”, or toxic relationships, and all of that unnecessary garbage. All of it equals lethality. Do yourself a favor and CUT THESE MISERABLE FUCKERS LOOSE! Once you let go, while simultaneously shouting out loud >>FUCK IT!

[@stevendavidson391]

Man!!!! What an amazing interview. All 3 parts just brilliant.

[@Zshumba]

One of the best interviews I’ve seen in forever! I laughed, I learned and I enjoyed! Thank you both 🙂

[@amocmofficial]

I feel Lars when he says that his old street survival mechanisms have bled into his intimacy. I used to hang around allot of bikers and shit, their attitude rubbed off onto me and for like a good seven years, and my poor wife had to deal with so much anger and hate coming out of my mouth. But in 2019 I decided to get help and ever since I've been a new man, calmer, and loving.

[@TheAstrocat11]

Good interview content on all three episodes. But it felt more like Zetro was getting interviewed. I would have like to hear Lars talk more and finish some of his thoughts before getting interrupted.

[@azertyuiop2493]

Lars couldnt let zetro talk for a second

[@Grimeyhoob]

[@andyhamerlinck2366]

Zetro! thank u for this great one! been watching every episode of your magnificent show but this was the most interesting and reliable to my mentality! great great great! go on with this! looking forward for the guys of Ludichrist and Mike Muir!!!!!! and andy andersen! regards from andy, belgium.

[@Bigdan1151]

Thank you for great interview from my two favorite Bay Area bands. The Old Firm Casuals and Exodus. I am so looking foward to being able to see you guys soon.

[@DeathTrap-tc6uv]

Really enjoyed this series and the way Lars opened up at the end, you don’t often get that in most interviews.

[@necrogoatdanzig]

the bidet story had me laughing so hard my GF came checking on me. Not a Rancid fan, but Lars is a cool dude

[@gregmcqueen707]

Lars kills it in every interview/podcast I’ve ever found. Love this!

[@gregmcqueen707]

Matt Freeman, Tim Armstrong next, please!

[@LicenciadoNexus]

Best podcast ever. And i agree, i would like to see tim armstrong here, and matt freeman in other podcast too

[@louielouie3900]

Great interview. Very informing AND entertaining. I had a blast!

[@satannewsted]

I love Rancid! They were the very first punk band I ever got into. First heard of em back in 94 when MTV'S Headbangers Ball played the Salvation video

[@saffel]

Dude... this latter part of this interview was great! (The whole thing actually) But where it got personal- really resonated with me and my current situation- thanks Lars. Needed to hear some of those things.

[@punkrockerr4892]

Next guest please tim from rancid 💀

[@Sander-Mania]

that would be fuckin cool

[@strummerlover9033]

ya he doesnt do many but they always end up awesome. Another good one would be matt. Ive always wondered what he'd be like in a metal band!!!! Fucking awesome is my guess. Hey Zetro! I 3rd this motion so pls feed us and thank you! Tim may not be as big a metal fan as Lars is but he does love it and would have a lot to say on the hardcore and metal scene in the east bay so... please!

[@barrysmith502]

@@strummerlover9033 matt does have a metal band.

[@alwarrior211]

Great interview guys!!

[@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets]

Thank you! For mentioning Jim Ross & Mid South Wrestling. For me, that was when wrestling ruled. Never could get into the glitzy WWF circus atmosphere.

[@kabukimanindahouse]

We saw Rancid in Munich one time. Were drinking pretty early and peaked into the door while they had their sound check. Looked like in a cartoon. My head was the first, my friend's under mine und my then girlfriend's beneath. They noticed and closed the door. So we felt kind of bummed and ran around the complex a bit. We really needed to piss from all the beer and couldn't find a restroom, so we eventually found a bush behind a building. Friend and me were like pushing each other, cracking dumb jokes, while doing our business out in the open. Friend went "look to your left, do you recognize the tattooed bald guys over there?" Well, they all watched us take a piss and I was so embarrassed and never went to the band lol Not like they could've missed me with my green charged hair and they also noticed us twice

[@Mike4metal]

I was a huge wrestling fan of the early to mid 70”s! I got to meet Alexis Smirnoff! Rowdy roddy piper! Andre the giant! And I got to punch pepper Gomez in the Stomach! Priceless memories!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻this is a great interview Zet! Saw Lars jam with Death Angel a couple Christmas shows ago at slims! I love Rancid!❤️🤘🏻

[@kelseyschlewitz5609]

Great show guys. Big fan of your guys music. Rancid changed my life. I saw you guys when I was 15 and it was just the experience man was transcendent. It was I think dv8 in seattle around 97? 98? Anyway bro thank you for being you lars. Side note I'm an evangelist and I would never want to change anything about you cuz you were created perfectly... it's just more about wanting you there in the next life with me is all. Hopefully that gives some fresh perspective. Also theres no such thing as hell for humans... if you dont accept life then when you die that's it nothing happens. Anyway love you guys great show

[@fabianyuselu1487]

I thoroughly enjoyed all three parts of this highly entertaining toxicity (haha).Hailz to Zetro and his guest Lars Frederickson 🤘🤘🤘

[@wantutosigh1117]

Great interview. Two questions you could've asked: 1. How was it playing with the original Misfits at MSG? 2. What was it like experiencing the punk boom into the mainstream in the 90's?

[@adamneustaedter4666]

Here for the wrestling banter

[@trebekdkm]

Bro I was there on Sing Loud tour in Milwaukee!

[@Joe.888]

Would be cool to hear more about Lars influence from the British punk and Oi music. I could imagine that would be a pretty cool conversation

[@brianwilkinson9110]

Lars is a fucking LEGEND!

[@brianr]

FYI, check out his interview with Nardwuar back in 2000 or something -- he shares the same French bidet story (in a PG sort of way). Favorite parts of these music interviews are about the business history though; thanks for talking a bit about it.

[@grahf9436]

Great show!

[@TommyDeCleenCarpAngler]

great stuff again ... greets from Belgium

[@PlagueofJudea]

Zetro...Stop fucking around and get Jeff Becerra on...

[@gustavonaves455]

Lars is a really good listener

[@andylong6589]

​my favorite so far.Thrash and Fuckin Oi!

[@johndungey8148]

You never know let Lars finish about his brother’s guitar

[@vincegedeon6583]

Haha big boudaid blistered bloody balls awesome 🤘😂🤘

[@AtomicTimes]

watch them 3 episodes till the end -well i had to let out the wrestling part coz i know nothing about wrestling, but that's ok! Really had a good time and relate with some of the stuff going on. ... and yes, you forgot to talk about music, too bad ;)

[@BBKstixxx73]

Killer Lars rules🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@tttarms1970]

Okay zet...when are you gonna have Kirk on???

[@ratadevil]

excelente

[@dirtyhall4074]

this was fucking great!!! thanks

[@bagofbones95]

I'm not a fan of Lars bands. But hell Yeah.. Lars You're so fucking real. 👊

[@VioletCieza]

Great Lars!

[@allprowrestling]

Good shit!

[@boggusboggs7096]

Great

[@amyrees1223]

Bring Lars back and talk conspiracy theories

[@jonnyb7369]

always dug Lars and Rancid...one question ius how is he toward fans? approachable?

[@strummerlover9033]

Extremely so! At least he was in late 90s mid 2000s I’ve met him a few times & he’s exactly like he is here. Friendly, funny. All members of Rancid are. Lars actually spoke on this point in an interview once, saying he knows what it’s like to meet a musician u love &have them be cool to u. Ultra nice, vulgar humour &they always take the time to meet fans that took the time to wait to meet them. Maybe it’s different now idk. He has major back issues & shit. One time it was killing Jim &he still hung out to meet fans. So ya, don’t hesitate to say hi if u see him. ;)

[@TS66667]

Wrestling is soap operas for dudes. But yeah the old wrestling was great

[@hinjurock70]

How about getting Billy Joe Armstrong on? As far as early 90's pop-punk goes, Green Day are far superior to Rancid. But The Offspring are better than both.

[@rickratliff278]

That’s just dumb

[@danielmarshall63]

Fucking hell hinju. How old are you? 6? 7?.

[@hinjurock70]

@@rickratliff278 How so? It's the truth. Green Day rock harder and have better song. Rancid are ska-punk, not hardcore, and I can't stand Tim Armstrong's annoying Joe Strummer-wannabe voice or his douchey tatted poser image.

[@hinjurock70]

@@danielmarshall63 Quite the opposite - I've been a hard rock/metal fan since 1980, a hardcore punk fan since 1985 and a musician since 1983. Rancid sucks.
