00:00Of course, you're formerly a falling in reverse, that's in the past, had a good run, but now

00:10it's time to take on and do your thing.

00:13Tell us about American Monster.

00:15American Monster.

00:17So if you could do a slow pushing right here.

00:21So American Monster has been a passion project of mine.

00:25I feel like it's something that the world needs, and I feel like every so many decades

00:32there's a genre or something like that, whether it be hair metal, grunge, nu metal, whatever

00:38today is, and I feel like something new needs to happen.

00:41I love this.

00:42I feel like every so often something really cool happens and then everyone goes, oh, that's

00:47really cool.

00:48And then the radio is just one long song of all the bands copying each other.

00:54And I kind of feel like that's happening right now in a way.

00:56With what?

00:57What's the artist?

00:58Like, give me the genre that's kind of saturating and vanilla-izing.

01:02I mean, you know what it is, you know?

01:04I know, I go with it every day.

01:05I'm trying to be very diplomatic here, Kill Pop.

01:07I'm trying to figure where your head's at.

01:08I'm trying to be diplomatic here.

01:11But yeah, it's a good sound, but I feel like a lot of bands fall victim to-

01:16The Nirvana syndrome.

01:18Yes.

01:19Like grunge.

01:20Yeah, it's like, this band rules, but I already heard this, you know?

01:25So it's like, I guess what I'm getting at is, in my younger days, I just wanted to be accepted

01:33as a musician, or I wanted to be accepted as like, oh, if this band heard my band, we

01:37could tour and blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:39And now it's like, nowadays, I just want to go the opposite f***ing direction, you know?

01:44I'm a huge fan of music, and I'm a huge fan of music from yesteryear.

01:50Yeah.

01:51You know, I feel like there was a pocket of time in rock and metal and pop culture, and

01:56you know, that whole like, late 80s, early 90s thing.

02:01And-

02:02Ooh, give me some bands, like-

02:04Ooh, Pantera, White Zombie, Prong, Motley Crue, Metallica, like there's, and I feel like

02:14other bands take different influences from those bands, and I'm finally doing what I'm

02:20taking from them.

02:22You know, like, I have a, I'm trying to create this world, and I finally get to start inviting

02:26people to it.
