No one sounded quite like Motorhead. Fast, raucous, and very, very loud. And no one looked quite like Lemmy. Those teeth. That head-up position. Those whiskers. If we're in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God? Lemmy. God. Wrong dickhead. Trick question. Lemmy is God. Somebody's dancing on another day. Shy eyes, big smiles, and eyes awake. Don't know how wrong the day will be. Well done. It'll never be the same. Can you live up? And you know it's a righteous job. Don't look like Christ and Christmas. Over here. I can't believe I'm over here. All right. Very loud. It's all right, Macy. Get some medical anesthesia. Yeah. I'll do it myself. You don't give a nice. I can't see through all the eyes. Hold your feet. Look. Every little bit's taken down. And you look bad. I'm over here. Over here. I'm over here. All right. Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow. All right. We got to change the mood. We got to change the mood. We got to change the mood. guitar solo guitar solo guitar solo guitar solo guitar solo Drugs make you feel better. And as long as they do, people will want them. And as long as people want them, somebody somewhere is going to show up with them. So there's no point in saying just say fucking no. That just doesn't work. guitar solo guitar solo My life, we are, yeah I'll be awake with you Just watching the rain We're listening right here It's better than everything I won't be back in a chance My life, we are I'll be awake with you My life, we are, yeah It's okay Hey Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va Va You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me You're the new me Yeah, it's good, you know, it's good to mix it up, but people don't, people, they're very partisan, you know, people are very narrow-minded, as a rule. I remember, uh, there was this kid with hair out of his, Spikes, he was at a gig in Newcastle, and there's a ring around him of a foot, with nobody in it, you know, he's all standing there on his own, and then he's like, And I said, you want to go shake that fucking guy's hand, you know? Because it took a lot of guts for him to come in here tonight. This was the early days of punk, you know? And they got together with him after that. It was good, wasn't it? This was the early days of punk, you know? This was the early days of punk, you know? This was the early days of punk, you know? This was the early days of punk, you know? This was the early days of punk, you know? This was the early days of punk, you know? This is it. This is it. I'm shooting up, I'm waiting back I've been against as all that you like I'm behind the same old door I know you make the horse be gone But I don't care if I stay I'm ensuring I'm right At the end of tracks or trails Dead men turn on trails Come on! You are the end You used to be my friend But I've been just coming to an end My meaning must be clear And I've been in all you fear Cause if you do what it's like You won't be coming back I don't want to make you fail Dead men turn on trails Come on! You got to change We have to change yourself. All right, it's time for some real music. It's showtime. We have seen imitators. We've also seen duplicators. But now, it's time for the originators. Los Angeles and the rest of the world. Many have tried to replicate. Many have tried to duplicate. But there is only one true, real, subversive underground radio show. You are listening to the very manic. Jimmy Cab's show. I am your host, Jimmy Cabs, broadcasting live here from beautiful downtown, gentrified Los Angeles. I got to tell you, wow, where to begin? The last 24 hours has been very, very depressing. Not only with the news that Ian Frazier, Kilmeister, has finally passed away. But it's the end of an era. And it really just signifies that the true warriors of rock and roll are really coming to an end. Wow. Just the fact that the indestructible lemmy of Motorhead is no more is just, it's really tragic. I don't know what more to say other than even though we were expecting this. The man really just signified. True outlawism. True rebellious nature. And when you think of death and lemmy, it just doesn't go hand in hand. And where do we go from here, people? I mean, really, like, who else is going to fill in those shoes? Nobody. Nobody. I mean, as it is where we stand present day with so-called aggressive, raw, real, dangerous music. I don't see, I don't see this whole, I don't see this movement really being pushed any further than what it has. You know, last week we had Scott Carlson here from Repulsion. And we were talking about how we were really living in the heyday of rock and roll or heavy metal or extreme music or what have you. And it's just really sad to see these iconic figures. We have to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them circling around with us to have them people were posting their photos of Lemmy. You know, being that I so-called am considered a music journalist, I never took a photo with Lemmy for two reasons. Because one, the guy really didn't like to be fucking bothered, man. The guy really was just, he really didn't like to be fucking bothered. He liked to drink his drink. He liked to smoke his cigarettes. He liked to do his other stuff and fuck the hoes and, you know, constantly being pestered by people. But he was always gracious enough to take a photo. And, you know, I used to see him time and time again. And I would often want to, you know, the inner adolescent in me would want to approach him. And then I'd say, no, man, I don't want to fucking bother that dude. Because just leave him alone. Leave him alone. All right, on the phone with me, Caten de la Pena. Are you on there? Fuck yeah. Hey, how are you dealing with Mr. Ian Frazier Kilmeister's death, man? You're a longtime Motorhead fan like myself. Oh, yeah, for sure. You know, I think it's just kind of a weird time for anybody that's been in the band for decades because you feel kind of like he was the dude that you looked at like he was invincible, like you said, but also it made you feel invincible, you know? So now you kind of like the mortality thing kicks in more for anybody that's been living this kind of a lifestyle for the last. 30 plus years or more. And so I think everybody's pretty much in shock. And I think for me, I just I think the thing that makes me feel a little bit better is just I mean, obviously, I like to drink, but I just got a big bottle of Jack Daniels and drinking that. It's been fun, you know, reflecting on his career and listening to the music and looking at pictures and stuff. And even just like you said, the Internet's been kind of crazy. But I just kind of went on there and went on YouTube and watched a lot of Motorhead footage. And since yesterday when I found out at four o'clock, you know, one of the things that I want to comment on and you're going to relate to this because we talked about this in our private conversations. Where? Jesus, where do we go from here now, man? I mean, the real deal rock and roll outlaws are almost extinct. You know, where do we where do we go from here? Well, there's really nobody to mention. That's what's crazy, right? Like there's a lot of people running around trying to do what he did. But that's going to. Take many, many years and a lot of hard living to even come close. But I mean, even when you think about him dying, he lived he lived a life probably 20 times the life that most wild rock stars live. You know, you know, when there's no there's like you said, there's nobody that could replace him. Nobody's going to replace him. So I don't know. I mean, I'll be honest with you. I really couldn't tell you where the fuck we're going to go. It's finding somebody that could stand up for rock and roll. Yeah, exactly, man. Now, listen. You've been doing some very interesting extracurricular activities. You've been DJing all over Southern California. And tomorrow you're going to be DJing at the Rainbow Bar and Grill. You're going to be paying tribute to Lemmy and Motorhead. Is that correct? Well, I mean, that would be obvious. You know, I mean, it'd be kind of crazy for me not to for one huge fan. And then for two that, you know, that that room, that that whole bar was basically his, you know, they call it a second house. But I think he was there more than his. I think he was there more than his house. So, you know, it's for one, it's going to be weird just walking in the building because when before he passed on, you would always think you might see him there, you know. So now to go there and know that you're not going to see him is going to be a trip. Yeah. And I'm going to get into it. I'm going to play some really good shit. I'm going to play other bands that he liked. And this is basically my own little private, you know, tribute to him or memorial or whatever wake. You call it a heavy metal wake. But I'm going to make it light, too, though. I'm going to make it fun. It's not going to be depressing. I mean, he would, you know, everybody knows that that guy wouldn't have wanted it that way. He would just say, live your life and have a good time. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, he he was the epitome of that. He literally lived his life to the end the way he wanted, you know. Well, it's pretty amazing that he actually really did it that way. Like, even though it's sad that, you know, he got, you know, what was going on with him near the end. But that dude really did play music till the end. Yeah. So that's that's pretty fucking awesome. I think people are going to look back at this and be like, this guy really did his career and he went out the right way, even though it's sad. But, you know, he went out basically still touring to the end, still making records. I mean, they just released that last record. So, yeah, I mean, he did an awesome even though this all happened by the way it happened. But you couldn't have gone out a better way if you were Lemmy. You know, and he really talk about really. Setting the bar high and these musicians that they cry when they're on tour and they fucking bitch and moan about fucking, you know, their their voice or, you know, what have you. This guy was out there literally on the verge of death and he's still toward man. Yeah. I mean, I even saw some footage last night where he's actually, you know, trying to do a show and he shouldn't even be up there. You can tell that he shouldn't even have been up there. He was even standing was amazing. And they did the first song and they had to stop doing the first song. He went off. Somehow he got the energy to come back on with a cane just to tell everybody he was sorry he couldn't do the show, which is amazing. Incredible. I mean, I even have more respect for him. I mean, he seriously looked like a soldier that has been shot a thousand times and kept going just to come back out to tell these kids that he was sorry he couldn't do the show. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you got a bunch of people are going to act a certain way because of this. But I mean, the real fans, the people. Really. Doug, what he was about and what he did and, you know, bought the early records and sometimes bought from the early records even up until now. So those real fans are going to be the ones that are really affected by it. But I think at the same time, they all know that he lived an awesome, incredible life. You know, here's the deal, though. I think it's important to mention because, you know, we are at that age now where we're technically adults. That doesn't mean kids for all of you to start slamming Jack Daniels and smoking fucking Marble Reds. And. Snorting all kinds of different shit. I mean, the guy lived his life the way he wanted to. And obviously he wasn't endorsing that lifestyle. He just did his own thing. So, you know, let's let's be a little bright there. You know what I mean? I heard that yesterday. The Rainbow, they sold out of Jack and Cokes. Is that true? Well, that's what I heard. I haven't been in. Tomorrow is the first day I've been in since this happened. But I wouldn't doubt it at all. I mean, I think I bet you Jack Daniels. Oh, yeah. That stock is fucking going through the roof right now, man. OK, so tomorrow you're going to be DJing at the Rainbow Bar and Grill. You're upstairs, correct? Yes, I am. Now, let me let me ask you something here, Caden, because first of all, as you know, I don't like that place, but I'm going to go there because number one, obviously I want to pay tribute to Lemmy. Number two, I want to be there because you're DJing. But the few times that the few times that I have been there and by the way, I think I'm the only individual that has never gotten. Laid at the Rainbow. But anyways, every time every time I ventured up to that second floor, there's always another DJ there and there's nobody in that room or maybe one fucking delusional chick dancing by herself to fucking Cinderella. How what's going on with that? Are you transforming that whole fucking spot into a party place now? It's definitely starting to happen. When I first got there, I was kind of tripping because, you know, a lot of people, you know, they don't even know there's an upstairs. That's why we always try to write on every kind of promotion for when we do shows there that there's an upstairs because a lot of people think that it's a VIP room that you can't go in. That upstairs resembles it's at least it's casual show, Matt. It was empty as fuck. You're going off. Easy, easy. Look, I have to sidestep that one. But the deal is, it's an awesome room. And the reason I was excited to come into the room and start DJing is because the building has a lot of history, whether people, you know, I understand different strokes for different folks. Some people don't like the place. But the awesome thing about it is it's a museum, really. It's like when you walk around in those, you know, some of the bands you aren't going to care for. But if you like stuff like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple and Rainbow and, you know, Ronnie James, all these people. I mean, it's insane when you look at the list because the list is unending. And we're talking about. We're talking about rock stars, movie stars, whatever. But if you're into the history of music, especially the mid-60s on, that place has stood the test of time, you know. And even with what they've been through, they've revamped the place. The place is really nice now and it's cleaned up. But anyways, back to the thing about upstairs. Now it's starting to happen. The last two nights that I've been there have just picked up, you know, massively. And obviously with this thing that's happening with Lemmy. I think obviously a lot of people are going by there just to pay their respects. Absolutely. Really, really good. But it's definitely starting to happen. I mean, I've got a mix. I mean, obviously there's going to be the heavy metal people, the people like, you know, thrash and speed and the real, real heavy stuff. But I've also got the rockers that come in there. And for me, you know, it's part of my job to, like, make everybody happy. I mean, obviously you can't, but I try. I play everything from, you know, the speed shit, the heavy stuff, to the glam shit, to the rock and roll stuff. And, you know, obviously. It's a very diverse audience of people that go there because they come from all over the world. But to be honest with you, it's definitely starting to happen. And I'm more excited about that because I think there needs to be a club that people can go to that want to hear heavy music and they can hang out. I mean, there's not that many places left that like that. So for me, I want to try to build something that people can go to and have a good time and, you know, just fucking relax and listen to music, especially the heavy shit. Because you don't. It's not like you can walk in. I mean, it's not like you can walk in. You can go to one of those clubs and hear Angel Witch or Merciful Fate or even Nephilim, but also hear, you know, Old Twisted Sister and shit like Def Leppard. So it's a real nice atmosphere that I'm creating there. And more and more people are coming out. I think tomorrow night when you see it, you'll see what I'm talking about. It's just, it's awesome. All right. And it's pretty fucking loud. So come out and have a good time. And, you know, like I said, we're going to do the pay a tribute to Lemmy tomorrow night that I think nobody's going to be able to match because I've got the heaviest shit, you know, by Motorhead. So I'm going to be talking to him. I'm going to be playing all that. That's right, man. And you know what? Let me just say this. I have seen you DJ and you really do spin the cool tunes from everything from the heavy to what really you want to slam to when you're getting drunk. So tomorrow night at the Rainbow upstairs, Caden de la Peña, Diablo Negro of Hyrax will be spinning. Hey, real quick. In January, you got another show coming up, don't you? Yeah, the band's playing finally. We've been off the road for a little bit, but we're going to be playing in Long Beach at this place called Deep Piazza. Obviously, it's an old school pizza parlor. But it's got a nice sound system in there and it's all ages. So that's pretty much the main reason that we could get an all ages gig with a full bar. But that's Saturday, January 30th in Long Beach at Deep Piazza. So thanks for the support, Jimmy. I appreciate it. And good luck with the new radio show. Thank you, my friend. Thank you very much. All right. That's Caden of Hyrax there. Make sure you catch him spinning tomorrow at the Rainbow. And remember, not only did Lemmy enjoy that place, but so many pivotal figures from rock and roll got blowjobs and fucking threw up at that place. So I'll be there tomorrow with Caden. Caden, make sure you play my favorite fucking Cinderella tune, please. No kicks. You got it, buddy. Thanks for calling, my friend. All right, man. I'll see you tomorrow. Have a good show. You too. All right. Tonight, we have a really special guest. You know, Los Angeles has some incredible bands that are really thriving and really just incredible, just breaking the creative realms here. They're really doing some amazing stuff. One of these bands is a band called Behold the Monolith. What an incredible story this band is. I got to tell you, a true example of just perseverance and overcoming tragedy and coming together and being able to not only just overcome the loss of one of their members, but to come together and regroup and then record an amazing record. We're going to be talking to a couple of members of Behold the Monolith. I'm going to introduce you to them. But let's get back into it. All right. All right. Let's get to music here. You are listening to the very manic Jimmy Cab Show. I am Jimmy Cabs here on We Play Radio. Chester, that's that name. But anyways, We Play Radio. Let's get into it. Take it away. Take it away.

No regrets, no regrets You know you can't have ever guessed Coming down, coming down Over on the sideways round Up for the week Playing hide and seek Cause I'm a speed freak Everlasting speed freak guitar solo With an unlimited supply of misinformation Is Mr. Noto Alright. I'm a speed freak. Well, actually, I'm not a speed freak, but... Me either. Ugh, still, till this day, uh... It's been a pretty heavy week, Cabs. Right? Heavy. I mean... Heavy. Oh, by the way, let me introduce my co-host for tonight. Lost Johnny, welcome back. I'm back. It's good to be back. Thank you very much. How do you like the new studios at We Play Radio? Weplayradio.com, man. It's where all the heavy shit happens, man. We Play Radio. Hi, We Play Radio. No, love, we got all nothing but the love, so here we are. How are you dealing with Lemmy's death? You know, honestly, I'm absorbing it all, and as a fan of Motorhead, as we are here, you know, it's... It's pretty heavy, man, but at the same time, we have to really celebrate the... effort that he's put in to the last, what, 50 years of rock and roll? Listen, I don't want to sound disrespectful, okay, but one of the questions that I have that will never be answered is, that guy tweaked for a fucking... Dude, for over 50 years. Again, 60 years, bro. That guy has lived a life that... as far as I'm concerned, you are concerned, everyone in this room, in this building, on this block is concerned, has lived a life that will never come close, come close, I want to emphasize that, come close to what the life has Lemmy has lived. How has he kept his teeth all this time? Well, that's nothing to be said about British dentistry, but, you know, that's... Again, that's something to be said about the man's constitutionally... Constitutionist? Constitutionist? Whatever. Again, the fact that he made it this far is a fact of a miracle. Right, right. So, I mean, 70 years in regards to a rock and roll lifestyle, that's already like twice as long as... Again, the fact that Keith Richards himself had to said, I have to chill, whereas Lemmy said, fuck that, I'm going to keep going and out, like a light bulb. But here, this is... Lost Johnny, this is something that's going to keep me up late at night, that's going to be hard for me to deal with. Okay, yeah, Lemmy really lived the red line. To the fucking T. But yet, Bob Eubanks is fucking alive and healthy as fuck. Right? Yeah, you know, hey, man, you can't win them all. Again, Bob Eubanks, he's taking the long ball. Lemmy lived in the green from day one. Yeah, yeah, what an incredible life. What did we hear starting from the beginning? What did we hear starting from the top? We've been doing nice little tribute there. What did we hear from the top? Totally, man, we started with the song Motorhead, called Motorhead, from the band Motorhead. And then we heard White Lion Fever, yeah! Oh, yeah. From the band Motorhead, the same record. Decades. Oh, my God, the first Motorhead record, it is absolutely mandatory listening. If you call yourself a heavy music fan or just a rock and roll fan, that is absolutely mandatory listening between you and me. Yeah. That is absolutely mandatory listening between your ears. After that, we heard Iron Fist. Again, some little band called Metallica heard that song like, uh, I think we should start a band after hearing that song. Again, from the first record, Motorhead. After that, we heard Dead Man Tell No Tales, one of my personal favorite songs from this record, Bomber. Hello, dude, that shit is boom! And then after that, we heard Ufo Mamat from Italia with the song Somomium from the record Ecate. Very well, very well done there. Thank you very much. I learned my Italiano. And then after that, we heard Bolzer with the song CMF from the record Aurora EP. And then after that, we heard, obviously, Speed Freak from the record Iron Fist from the band Motorhead. Jesus Christ, if you don't know a third of these songs that are on this playlist, go home, get to Amiibo or wherever your local rec store is and get this shit between your ears. Oh, trust me, the Motorhead units are moving right now. Merchandising is, right now, there's some slave camps out in fucking Mexico. And fucking Taiwan, putting up merchandise, Motorhead merchandise. Trust me. Again, one of the best things I ever heard was one of the best business models is if you die, your records will sell. Yeah, they're going to sell. I mean, that's the whole thing. I mean, you and I have our particular Lemmy stories. And indulge me for a second. I interviewed Lemmy many years ago for the fanzine I was writing for many years ago. Great, another one. Super cool, super, you know, just intelligent. I got blown off. And I'll be quick about it. And I asked him about how he used to hang out with Ian Stewart, who was the singer for the white part of Skinhead band called Screwdriver, spelled with this K. And I was like, hey, man, what's up with hanging out with... Or is that him with Ian? He was a cute guy. Yeah. He was a cute guy. And we used to hang out. And, you know, we had a good time. And that was a good thing. And so I'm like, wow, you hung out with Ian Stewart, like the gnarliest white power Skinhead guy. And you were bros with him. And he's like, yeah, man, you know, I just hung out with him. And he was a good cool guy. I hung out with him. And then we had a couple of beers afterwards. And then we hung out afterwards. So that's how I was able to catch his attention. But at the end of the day, I... I did have a very brief interaction with Lemmy. And that's something that I can take with me. And that was my very brief interaction with him. So, hey, cheers to Lemmy. I'm glad that you and the rest of fucking the world has your Lemmy moments. I think I'm the only asshole who never took a photo with... Did you never meet Lemmy? I was in the vicinity of him hundreds of times. But I just never wanted to bother the guy. Because if you look at all the photos that are being put up right now on social media... He's super bummed. He's like, dude, even my photographer, fucking Adrian Mejia of Metal Warzone, he has a photo of him. What did he say? Everybody that takes pictures with Lemmy, Lemmy looks like he's fucking annoyed. Yeah, dude. I wasn't going to annoy the guy. I mean, that guy has been taking... That guy's photo has been taken... Everybody has a photo of him. Photos of him for the last 30 years. Again, your Facebook feed, my Facebook feed has been inundated with people's like, I took pictures with Lemmy. I took pictures with Lemmy. You probably killed the guy. Yeah, dude. Leave him alone. That in itself has been... Let him rest in peace now. Yeah. Dude, his corpse is not even what, 48 hours of your load? Jesus Christ. Give the guy a break. All right. Let's get into our guest here. Yeah. Los Johnny, as you know, you and I frequent the Los Angeles underground extreme music scene, amongst other music scenes. And I'm not going to go into too much detail. I'm going to go into a little bit more detail. And I think it'd be safe to say that within the last six to seven years, there's been a really organic movement of very diverse, eclectic Los Angeles bands that are really doing incredible things in the heavy music realm. Absolutely. One of them... We have one of the best music scenes going on in the country right now. Yeah. Fuck New York and fuck all that other fucking... Chicago. Fuck San Francisco. Chicago. I'm tired of that here. Portland, Chicago. LA. Oakland. We have our own stake in this right now. One of the bands that I really admire and respect is a band called Behold the Monolith. Dude. Now, a couple of years ago, I was fortunate enough... And here, let me give this guy credit, because no one gives this guy credit. I was listening... And by the way, I'm not ripping them off either. I get tired of fucking people telling me I'm ripping this show off. Ripping who off? I'm not ripping this show off. Ripping who off? I'm very... I'm innovative in my own right. But anyways, I was listening to the Super Rock Sunday show a couple of years back. Super Rock Sunday. KDC.com. The only cool guy on that fucking station, by the way. Anyways, and he played, I believe it was a demo tape. I don't even think it was your album at that time. Chase, you want to confirm that? It was a demo tape by a band called Behold the Monolith. Now, let me introduce my guest. Behold the Monolith. Here we have Chase Manhattan and Kez. Hello. Welcome to the very manic Jimmy Cab Show here in the beautiful We Play Radio studios. DTLA. Welcome. Uptown. Thank you for being here. Was that a demo that Crazy Craig was playing back then? I believe so. You'd have to ask Matt that. I wasn't involved. Matt's not here, by the way. Matt's not here and we have to give, you know, with the poor authority out for his feline companion. Exactly. One of the things that I admired about his show was that he was... He was a great guy. He was a great guy. But the thing that I admired of his show was that he was really playing incredible bands that were coming up at that time and your band Behold the Monolith at that time was a three piece. Correct. And you know, we've have chatted prior. You know, you've been on the show before and we've done interviews and stuff. That band was incredible. You were finally getting to a dynamic and going to venture out on the road and then tragedy struck. obviously the story is well known, but we'll touch base briefly. You know, your bass player and singer passed away in a very unfortunate accident. And that right there in itself would cripple most bands. It would devastate most bands. Just the fact to lose not only someone so instrumental in the band, but also... The songwriting process. The tight unit that you had as friends. Exactly. No one knew what was going to happen. I mean, at that time, talking to you guys on the record and off the record, I mean, you guys are going through the grieves. I mean, I'm seeing this as a fan, as an outsider, when I heard the news, again, devastated. Kevin McDade. Yeah. Tragic. Totally tragic. But at the same time, as a fan, like... Yeah, me too. Are they going to keep going? Again, we all in here, can relate to the whole scenario of, like, what's going to happen? Because this band, with their two albums at the time they were putting out, were so amazing. And again, what they put out so far, like, what they could have put out in the future, well, what's going to happen? So... When you decided to start playing music again and start looking for members to bring in, what was the mindset at that time? Um... Not a tough question at all. No. You know, just to get back into the rehearsal room... Get back in the saddle. ...was... took a lot. You know, because it wasn't just the personal thing of losing a friend. You know, I was also a bandmate. Yeah. You know, we were very tight. You know, I was doing the... Let me think. My mic. You know, so it affected both things. And so that was a struggle, you know. But just to get back in the room, was it a positive thing? I mean, how was it... I mean, how was it just getting into the room in itself between you and Matt? I mean, how was that? That took a bit. But actually, the first couple of times, we didn't even play music. We just went there and sat there and looked at each other. Wow, that's heavy. Didn't say much. We ended up moving into a different room. Same place, different room. That was just a coincidence. It wasn't mainly for that. But when the opportunity came up, we took it. Because for me personally, I wanted to get out of that room. Right. You know. So once we... We actually started jamming me. Me and him in the old room. And then shortly after that, we moved rooms. And we had decided when we were going to move rooms, when that was already in the process, we were going to jam a couple more times in the new room and then start, you know, talking to people. I mean, it was really a matter of going into... Okay, we're into the room. We know the songs of where we are now. Yeah. As opposed to... Okay, where do we go from now into the future where we are now in the sense of talking to the... Yeah, I mean, we haven't even gotten to when you got Kaz in the band. I mean, what was the energy like at that time? Because not only are you dealing with the real world tragedy of losing your friend, but also, as you mentioned, you know, a band member where that dynamic and that energy was just so honed in at that time. Yeah. It was a long process. It was an up and down process. Certainly for myself, it was good one week and bad another. And then it was like that for months, you know. And then things started to even out a little bit once, you know, things were starting to gel with Kaz. And then... And then... And then... And then after we did that first show, I kind of split to go on tour for a little bit. Kaz split to go on tour for a little bit. And then Jordan came up in the mix while I was out of town still. I don't know if you were still out or not, but... I don't remember. And then when I got back in the town, I got back in the town last, I know that. And then Jordan had already learned two or three songs. This story is incredible. And then we got together. I'm fascinated. Really, I am. Well, let's piece it together here for people who are not familiar. So you welcome Kaz to the band. Anyone who knows Sasquatch knows who you are. When you joined the band, that had to be interesting for you because not only are you coming in, obviously not to replace. Right. Which is most important here. This is something that I always respected about you guys is that you never replaced. It was just you're moving forward to the next... to the next evolution of the band. But when you came in, was that something that was on your mind? And how did you feel coming into the group? I mean, how conscious of you were... How conscious were you of the steps you were stepping into? You know? I mean... At first, it was more just getting in a room and jamming with the guys. Like it wasn't even... They weren't pressuring me to learn all the songs. They just wanted to sort of get in the room and just jam. But you could tell, you know, as a fan as well, there were certain items of Kevin still in the room. You know, like his... His... His... What do you... His puffy... His puffy mic stand. Mike... His mic... Mic sock. Mic sock. Yes. Thank you. That he always brought to all the shows. And I remember it too. It was that bright... That bright yellow mic sock. Yeah, mic sock that he put on wherever he went, you know? And it was those kind of things that you're like, wow. You know, you still think as a fan, you want to try and represent what Kevin did to the fullest, you know? Yeah. I mean, how... I mean, again, I saw one of the last shows that Kevin did with Behold the Monolith. Amazing. Yeah, dude. It was... If I remember correctly, it was at the Viper Room, which is weird in itself. So... Viper. Wow. Yeah. Super weird. So here you are, Kaz. That's a good show. You're... You're stepping into that. And I walked away from that show with the sense like this band is on their way. There are... I mean, I've seen them go from A, B to C. And now, again, unfortunately, this scenario happens. And now you have to step into... I mean, where do you feel that you can feel confident in taking Behold the Monolith into D? E and F. You know what I mean? For me, it wasn't even confidence. I guess it was... Because I knew both the guys. I knew Chase and Matt more than I knew Kevin, actually. So stepping in, it was just... Again, it was that sort of getting together and jamming in the room. Organic. Yeah, it was super organic. Just super laid back. It wasn't, you know, super intense by any means. And for me, it was... It was more of a challenge. Because what Kevin does on bass, he's very Lemmy-esque. And my style is a little more laid back. So trying to come up to that sort of intensity that Kevin had, it was something that I sort of wanted to learn, if nothing else, you know? Like teach myself how to play with a pick like he played with a pick. Things that I hadn't done before, you know? I hadn't played in a metal band that was semi-technical in certain aspects since high school. I mean, the question would go from Chase to Chase. Where, how did you feel? Again, having going with Chase field, how did you feel when he came into the room? It was different. Like I said, at first, it was... The first couple of times, it was different. Just to look up or to the side of the room where Kevin usually... Well, he was, was strange. Especially playing the songs. But at the same time, you know, we didn't want somebody that sounded like him or... You know, we just didn't want... You didn't want the carbon copy. No, no, no. And I usually don't like seeing bands when they replace members that are really similar. Because I would want anybody to do their own thing. We're both gingers. So then that was something that you guys were very conscious from the beginning was you didn't want to restrict the new members. You wanted them to... Absolutely. Adapt and grow freely, so to speak. This is very interesting because you released this year, Architects of the Void. And this record not only is very powerful, but it really encompasses... So many human emotions and elements in this record. When you listen to this record, you really feel the trials and tribulations of that grieving process. And then also the confidence and the strength of when you started writing. So why don't we listen to some tracks off this great record? And then we're going to talk about Roadburn 2016. That's interesting. Chester, take it away. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Because it takes really a lot of, obviously, dedication and motivation, but also to deal with the climate that we're at today. I mean, that whole era of big labels is gone. And I mean, to really put your money where your mouth is and put out your own music. But at the same time, don't you feel that it's kind of freeing? Oh, yeah, totally. I mean, you have control over what you can do. Now, is it a matter of making money off of that? I don't know how plausible it is or how realistic it is. And Lemmy was the first guy to, you know, if you read some interviews, he's like, don't ask me for advice today. He's like, I grew up in a different climate, you know, as far as selling music. He's like, today, it's a different story. And I don't think anybody has the answer yet, but we're going to keep on trying. It's tough. I mean, it's one thing to take advice. It's one thing to take advice from someone who knows what's up, but it's another thing to actually apply it into the present tense. All right. Let's get into, let's remind everybody here. The new record is called Into Architects of the Void. How can people get a hold of this album again? Beholdthemonolith.com. Check out the store. You will be playing Roadburn April 14th. How can people get tickets for that? If they want to venture out. Is it sold out yet? It may have been sold out. I don't know if there's one day tickets left. Roadburn.com. Yep. Okay. And you might be playing some dates before or after? Definitely after. Before is going to be tough. I may be on the road. I am on the road. Let's mention that real quick because you play in Sasquatch. Talk to me briefly. What's going on with your band? We're working on new stuff and we wanted to get back to Europe as well. So we've sort of been. I've been piggybacking Sasquatch right before Behold gets to Europe. Sasquatch will be over there for a month. And we've got all of our dates set. So I'm trying to logistically figure that out between both bands. And Chase, is that okay with you guys that he's still. Oh, absolutely. Is it more. What's the word I'm looking here for? Is it more like creatively enjoyable for you? Because you get to. Is it convenient? It's good for me because it's like apples and oranges. Like I said, for when I joined Behold, it was a learning experience. Because Sasquatch is more straightforward ahead, rock and roll sort of stuff. Where Behold has a lot more technical aspects to the music. Where I had to like step up my game to some degree. All right. So make sure you look up. How can people get a hold of information on Sasquatch? Sasquatch rock.us. Or just Google us. You'll find it on the Facebooks and all that. All right. Let's get into a little bit more music. And then we'll come back and say farewell with my very special guest. Behold, the monolith. Chester, take it away. An old kid on the corner in Soho, four o'clock in the morning. This cop comes around the corner and says, hello, sonny. The kid says, all right, you know. He said, what are you doing? He said, I'm looking for a whore. And how old are you? He said, I'm nine. Right? He said, what do you want a whore for? He said, I want to get a disease. He said, what kind of fucking disease? He said, a sexually transmitted one, officer. The guy said, what do you want to get a fucking disease for? He said, well, if I get it, I go home and I fuck the babysitter and she gets it. And she fucks my dad and he gets it. And he fucks my mom and she gets it. And she fucks the gardener. And that's what got him after, because he's got my frog. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Sex has dropped out of the sky Millions orgasm until they die Squirming flesh, we beg for more We'll make the sex There is no more You live for sex. All right. There's nothing more. Johnny, what did we hear there? We just heard sexiness. Next, Johnny T from The Plasmatics from their record Beyond the Valley of 1984. One of my personal favorite punk rock records. I think that record was called Mental Priestess. Before that, we heard Girl School playing, covering a song by Motorhead, Emergency. Dude, if you don't know Emergency, fuck out of this fucking room right here, man. Before that, we heard Hawkwind, Hello Silver Machine from the record In Search of Space. If you don't know already, Lemmy plays bass and sings on that particular track. And then before that, we heard Stay Clean from the band Motorhead. I'm pretty sure that's on their first record. Here we go. Jimmy Cab's Take It From Here. All right. Behold the monolith. Make sure, as we mentioned, you pick up Architects of the Void. Make sure you go on their site and make sure you pick up this great, phenomenal record. What's the site you can look up there? What's the site you can look up? What's the site you can look up? Your record for? Beholdthemonolith.com. April. Simple and easy. April 14, 2016. Behold the monolith. We'll be playing Roadburn. Super jealous. And hopefully in 2016, you'll be playing a couple of shows locally. Oh, definitely. And without, hopefully, also throughout the states. Probably on the way back. Yep. Yes. All right. And then US beyond that. I want to thank my guests, Chase, and Kaz for being here, joining us here at the WePlayRadio studios. WePlayStudios.com. Thank you. 1-800-893-9562. That is 1-800-893-9562. Get on it, man. WePlayRadio.com. All right. We're going to end the show. This is interesting. You played a show at the Five Star a couple years back. And as you know, there's major bootleggers in Los Angeles. This is a bootleg. This is a bootleg of Behold the Monolith doing Celtic Frost into the Crypts of Rays. Now, before we go any further, we have to make clear that Kevin, not Kevin. Yeah, Kevin. Yes, Kevin. Kevin plays. Kevin sings on this. No, not only that, but the guitar player. Matt. Matt. Matt plays in a band with Menno from... That's for another day, Los Angeles. When they play some Venom songs, and just to kind of keep that, you know... We'll touch base on that on another day. I want to thank you all for listening. Real quick, make sure you pick up Bulldozer Magazine, www.bulldozermag.com. Again, make sure you pick up the new Behold the Monolith record, Architects of the Void, and let's end it with some Behold the Monolith doing Celtic Frost. Thank you for listening. See ya.
