their head but I haven't been home for
0:19
two months today I'm going head to
0:21
Central Florida Fairgrounds for an event
0:23
called punk in the park I'm an old punk
0:26
rocker nothing says punk rock more like
0:29
a a loha shirt but I'll put the cap on
0:32
backwards so that'll give me a little
0:34
punk credentials now I did play in a lot
0:36
of bands of the punk persuasion for many
0:38
many years the last band I was in
0:40
stopped playing with them about 10 years
0:42
ago by the name of Guttermouth they are
0:44
playing today along with a Cavalcade of
0:47
other really great bands like triaa gets
0:48
all Authority South Florida band Down By
0:51
Law Dave sm's Band the
0:54
vandals Alkaline Trio all bands I know
0:59
love well don't really personally know
1:01
them but love
1:03
them going to see my friends in
1:04
Guttermouth play with them from 2011 to
1:07
2013 I don't know where the day is going
1:09
to lead not really into these outdoor
1:12
All Day festivals I was when I was
1:13
younger was really into the Warp Tour
1:15
and all those that era first Warp Tour
1:18
was in '95 coincidentally so I gut to
1:20
mouth on that eventually joined the band
1:23
later did five or six tours was in the
1:25
band a couple years playing base and I
1:27
use that term moderately I kind of just
1:29
jumped around a lot and hit a bunch of
1:32
notes and kind of made it happen I I was
1:33
okay I wasn't I wasn't the greatest but
1:36
now I'm doing YouTube and I'm going to
1:38
go relive my punk days It's All Coming
1:42
Back join me it's good to have you here
1:44
it
1:45
is warn but it's overcast I thought
1:47
about wearing the big brimmed hat but I
1:49
was checking the weather app it's going
1:51
to be raining and cloudy later so I'm
1:54
just I'm I'm going to support the also
1:56
raay one last night they've already won
1:58
the series they've already won two
2:00
tonight's game three against the
2:01
Cleveland
2:03
Guardians Good Times join me shall you
2:07
and I guess they do this event on a
2:08
couple places across the US this is
2:10
Orlando's turn Central Florida's term at
2:12
the
2:13
fairground time I should say term or
2:16
time either one looks like Alkaline Trio
2:18
is going to be closing the thing about
2:20
this is no bands overlap with set times
2:22
it's kind of like the first Warp Tour
2:24
that's how the 95 Warp Tour was yeah
2:26
triaa love triaa Down By Law Oh Black
2:30
Flag dead Kennedy's are
2:32
playing no Henry Rollins or Jello be
2:34
offra but yeah they're still
2:37
playing kind of hope it does rain a
2:39
little bit I haven't really seen
2:40
precipitation in a couple months I was
2:42
just discussing with big the foot and
2:43
catching up
2:45
reminiscing but the good old days from
2:48
farther back than two months ago CU I've
2:49
been gone for like 57 days I think I
2:52
figured out it was it's not too happy
2:55
I'm leaving again in three days but he
2:58
got a little contentment
3:00
content not contempt or maybe some
3:03
contempt but some contentment of the
3:06
fact that I'm going to be around all of
3:07
October in Central Florida and I'm
3:09
looking forward that to that as well big
3:11
the foot I really am yeah I stopped off
3:13
in the 7-eleven here in celebration and
3:15
they in fact
3:17
funny funny fact that they actually have
3:20
Punk bunny coffee in there which is
3:24
green days coffee
3:26
brand I was with a Philly Captain the
3:29
other day and Philadelphia we were going
3:31
to try it 7-Eleven there didn't have any
3:33
so it's just so funny I'm just talking
3:35
about
3:36
Punk and I'm going to try some punk
3:39
bunny coffee didn't bring my camera in
3:40
with me but uh this is a photo I took on
3:42
my on my phone so I think this used to
3:46
be Oakland coffee that Mike dur the Bas
3:48
player Green Day started and I think
3:50
that folded and they just decided you
3:53
know what we probably would sell more if
3:55
we had the Green Day name on it now I
3:57
could be way off with that assumption
3:59
but I do believe that that's probably
4:01
what happened I went to Oakland coffee
4:04
when last time I was up in uh San
4:05
Francisco in Oakland well a couple times
4:07
ago and uh was hoping to meet Mike D
4:10
there but he wasn't there that day but
4:12
now now it's called punk bunny coffee
4:14
and it's geared more about around Green
4:17
Day than it is Mike D okay I have
4:19
officially parked this might be the best
4:21
windshield sun blocker ever the
4:25
law the
4:28
law the law Coming Attractions not too
4:32
far off in the future though because
4:34
it's happening today right there
4:37
9:14
4:39
punk in the
4:47
park this is definitely going to give me
4:47
old school '90s Warp Tour Vibes
4:49
especially with the two stages no band
4:52
playing at the same time of the other
4:54
band One band finishes their last song
4:55
and immediately the other stage starts
4:57
the first song parking over on this side
4:59
I believe believe is for some tents that
5:01
are set up for the farmer flea market
5:06
things like that I believe that's what
5:07
that is so the event I'm going to is
5:10
over
5:11
there a little memories of the vandals
5:15
love the vandals live past diarrhea the
5:16
quickening a assortment of really great
5:20
albums I have probably seen sweating to
5:23
the oldies I used to have that VHS in
5:24
the 9s 500 times my friends and I used
5:27
to watch it all the time
5:29
love that group and little Disney tie-in
5:32
Josh free who now plays for the Foo
5:35
Fighters used to perform his dad was the
5:38
head music director don't quote me on
5:40
this but he worked for
5:42
Disneyland Josh F used to play at the
5:45
tarland Terrace stage on the band and
5:48
that's how the vandals discovered him
5:50
one of the greatest one of my favorite
5:52
all-time favorite drummers I know a lot
5:54
of people say Travis Barker is the best
5:56
punk rock drummer I'm a Josh free sky in
5:59
fact the fifth or sixth show I ever
6:03
played when I tour with gutb I think it
6:04
was 2011 maybe 2012 was a a concert
6:07
called music and that was in Orange
6:10
County California and a huge show we
6:14
opened up for Bad Religion and the
6:15
vandals thousands of people there also I
6:19
never had
6:20
one practice when I played with
6:22
Guttermouth I showed up to the first
6:24
show and jumped on stage started playing
6:28
and I was in the band for like years
6:30
never had a formal practice and my fifth
6:32
or sixth or seventh show was opening for
6:35
the vandals Bad Religion and it was neat
6:37
because Josh F my favorite drummer was
6:40
playing with the vandals out I don't
6:41
think he's I don't think he's going to
6:42
be with them tonight cuz he's with Foo
6:44
Fighters now you never know though maybe
6:46
he'll do like a one-off show but that
6:48
was pretty neat I stood right next to
6:49
the drum kit a few feet away and just
6:51
watched the watch the master at work
6:53
another band is playing here Down By Law
6:55
Dave SMY and his group of
6:57
guys my buddy Rob my former roommate
7:00
years ago in the late '90s he had a
7:03
cassette player in his car and he had
7:05
the punk rock Academy album by Down By
7:08
Law stuck in his cassette player for
7:10
like 6 months so every single time we
7:13
would go anywhere that's what we we
7:15
listen to so I have every Nuance of that
7:19
album etched in my head forever remember
7:22
the Steven Wright joke I did an entire
7:24
cross country trip I only had one album
7:26
listen to it over and over and over and
7:28
over and over
7:30
I wish I could remember what it was been
7:32
here a number of times last time I was
7:34
here there was a haunted house in there
7:37
and the Blockbuster experience was
7:39
temporarily set up in
7:40
there it's been a while ago I've been to
7:43
a lot of fairs here as well and
7:45
carnivals and things like that all right
7:46
it's about 1:00 right now so you got a
7:48
stage over there and a stage over there
7:52
still really early also realizing if it
7:54
starts to downpour this is going to be
7:57
it's going to be a muddy mess a little
7:59
bit later plenty of port a roundabout
8:01
way kind of an interesting way the
8:02
reason I'm doing YouTube videos the
8:04
reason I was able to sleep in a van
8:05
travel around for a couple of years live
8:07
in a vanand basic live in the van
8:10
basically is because I did that in the
8:12
punk rock band traveling around playing
8:13
shows things like that so I already had
8:16
that that kind of that mindset for me
8:19
basically uh you use that term
8:21
specifically for me it's just more about
8:24
kind of a DIY Thing a do-it-yourself
8:26
type of thing a motivational thing and
8:27
not kind of going against the grain just
8:29
doing what you want for me that's that's
8:32
what that's what that terminology means
8:33
everyone else they have a different it's
8:35
not really about fashion and a mohawk
8:37
and all that but you know what I'm
8:38
saying but I also love the music so
8:39
there's that aspect as well yeah I saw
8:41
AAA probably gosh hundreds of times back
8:44
in the 9s I call him Triple A against
8:46
all authority the vand you know what the
8:49
vandals are definitely
8:51
utilizing the uh the Mickey over there
8:53
the steamboat Mickey which is no longer
8:57
copywritten by Disney look at the merch
8:59
a little bit later with a lot of vendors
9:01
out here as well got punk rock saves
9:04
lives over here you got smart Punk over
9:07
here a lot of different Merchant this is
9:09
definitely going to be very very full
9:11
and a little bit messy later when
9:12
everyone shows up and it rains oh check
9:14
it out look like the vandals actually
9:15
have look at this Space Mountain that is
9:19
freaking great oh they're going to do a
9:21
poster signing here at 7 to 7:30 that's
9:24
awesome it'll probably be downpouring by
9:25
then but that is freaking great
9:34
wow I might have to get that oh look at
9:34
this
9:36
casualties signing here from 6:00 to
9:39
6:30 oh I love that Guttermouth has
9:41
brought back their friendly people it's
9:43
my favorite album love playing songs off
9:46
that
9:47
album all right hop in here and see
9:49
what's going on inside this little shed
9:51
over here oh there's actually a lot
9:52
going on in here look at this wow
10:02
a lot of people in
10:02
here feels good in here
10:04
too beer is your oh this must be the
10:07
brewery maybe this is the only place you
10:09
can drink maybe no I don't think that's
10:11
the case yeah basically this is just a
10:13
little sample area where you can get
10:16
three little sample cups of beer of
10:18
course I'm not I'm a non-drinker so I'm
10:20
not going to partake but I was thinking
10:22
if they're going to do this all night it
10:24
could get very interesting in here but
10:25
then I was just told they're only doing
10:26
it till 3 which is probably good if
10:29
there's a cut off point because if
10:30
people are getting free samples all
10:31
night that could be uh that could in
10:33
pretty wild definitely going to be
10:34
consuming a lot of water and or power
10:37
raids out here I did have a big water in
10:39
my car but left it in there forgot it
10:42
then I got out here I thought you know
10:43
what I should probably get some Electro
10:45
like hats apparel and
10:50
debaucher there a Dolly Parton holding a
10:52
little kitty right
11:00
there this where land painting here
11:00
basically what everyone is doing is
11:01
waiting in the shade for down by LA to
11:03
Sharp playing so everyone's lined up
11:05
here against the wall like I am because
11:07
the sun is permeating you would think
11:10
this would be like a q line or something
11:11
against this wall but it's not it's just
11:13
everyone standing out of the Sun so
11:15
really hoping those clouds roll in
11:16
because yeah the Sun is
11:23
hot really happy to see everybody check
