High on Fire

It's usually a big stacked bill.

Like the one we talked about earlier with like high on fire.

And that

show happened because I hate God and high on fire.

We're playing dark Lord day that day in, um, in, uh, Indiana.

And so I was like, man, man, I love high on fire.

Yeah.

I love that band.

That's a really good record, though.

15, High on Fire, Snakes for the Divine.

Love it.

Everybody listening should know by now I'm a huge High on Fire fan.

That's a great record.

Hopefully a new one soon, especially now that Matt Pike is no longer in sleep.

Hell yeah.

Well, I mean, fucking Stonewielder, which I had on the show a few weeks ago, he was telling me that what sold him on the Supercrush was that when they were on tour or something with, I think, High on Fire, he said he's seen Matt Pike's fucking shit behind stage, and he had a super crush, and he was like, what the fuck? And he was like, that's for backup, man.

And he's like, well, hell, man, if that can handle everything that this other shit can, that's pretty fucking cool.

Those super crushes are fantastic amps.

But otherwise, yeah, he's eager to see what happens next.

For myself personally, I said earlier offline, went and saw a metal show in the city, went and saw High on Fire, who I've never seen live, but knew of.

And then Neck Rot, who we love.

I think I've seen three or four times.

They should have just been Om or whatever that other band of his is.

Some said, just why didn't they just say it was Om with a guitar or something? But I think the point is lost on some that Matt Pike is way more interested in continuing the High on Fire legacy and growth.

And I've heard from a good source that I gathered that he gave the blessing and he still gets part revenue share as a co-founder.

So it's not like Matt was shoved out of the band or any kind of weird thing like that.

Um, there's a lot of bands doing that kind of music.

I got to listen to Hemispheres by Sleep, which is their first album without Mike, uh, Pike from High on Fire in the band.

Um, yeah, interesting album.

I mean, what you would come to expect from a band like Sleep, really not reinventing the wheel.

I've, I've, we're taking a little break right now.

We went on, we actually, last thing we did, we went on a tour with High on Fire up in Canada in September.

Oh.

That was a lot of fun.

You're gonna go across the country?

No, I'm just gonna go up north and over to like Montana up there, but, um, I've never been...

I know it sounds fucking stupid, but last year, so we went on this tour with High on Fire, and it took us up to Pacific Northwest.

It started in Vancouver, then went all the way over to Calgary and down through Great Falls and down through Boulder and, uh, Fort Collins and everything.

And I haven't really either, not closely.

I would say the only one that was probably a shock that I thought was a good thing, and I was like, maybe there's some main heroes when High on Fire won a Grammy.

That was shocking.

I remember seeing them nominated.

That makes

sense,

right? And more high on fire.

High on fire is still like, really? Wow, man.
