Ray HarkinsHOST
But the real reason I'm bringing all this up is because they did a amazing thing where each member, if you are not well aware of the composition of the band, Dave Grohl, clearly you understand where he comes from, Nirvana, Scream, all the cool things.
Ray HarkinsHOST
But the guitarist, Chris Shiflett, played in No Use for a Name.
Ray HarkinsHOST
Their bassist, Nate Mendel, played in Brotherhood, but he also played in Sunny Day Real Estate.
Ray HarkinsHOST
Uh, and their guitarist, Pat, played in the Germs, like so much credential.
Ray HarkinsHOST
But what they did is they did little snippets of covers of their previous bands.
Ray HarkinsHOST
So you had them, them as in Foo Fighters playing a minute long No Use for a Name bit, and then they covered Sunny Day Real Estate, and then they covered the Germs, and m- my brain melted because I was like, "Oh." I, I can guarantee you that people were just like, "Sunny Day Real Estate? Like, what the hell is this?" And they played Seven.
Ray HarkinsHOST
It was great.
Ray HarkinsHOST
Um, so anyways, it was just really, really, uh, impressive to see that sort of tribute to old bands that many people have probably not interacted with because, you know, you're talking about this is a pure stadium rock civilian show, and it was really, really cool.
Brad WorrellHOST
This is with Chris Shifflett, who is the phenomenal guitarist for a little band called the Foo Fighters, as well as his own alt-country solo band.
Brad WorrellHOST
Let's not forget Chris's first band, no use for a name.
Brad WorrellHOST
And, of course, he has put in some time as one of the Gimme Gimmes as well.
Brad WorrellHOST
So he's got a lot to talk about.

Chris ShiflettGUEST
TSO
Brad WorrellHOST
records sound great, dude.
Chris ShiflettGUEST
You put on like, I don't know, like a No Use For A Name record from the early 90s.
Chris ShiflettGUEST
It doesn't sound so good.
DanHOST
Dave also talks about a lot of the album reminded him of being in Scream and that the songs feel comfortable to play, which is something I'm going to get onto later actually with Amen Caveman because it's something that he alluded to in a previous interview when discussing the new album about that comfort feeling.
DanHOST
Chris, on tour as we know, has been playing Invincible by No Use For A Name.
DanHOST
And he actually name-checks his old band in this segment by kind of questioning if he was asked whether he'd be able to just step in and do a No Use For A Name set now.
DanHOST
And he said, actually, it'd probably take me a few months to be able to build up to it.
DanHOST
And I think that was when he was discussing the kind of techniques and getting his downstrokes right on the guitar for this album.
DanHOST
Right, next one, not necessarily horrorpunk, but it's definitely horror adjacent.
DanHOST
The band is The Implants, basically a punk rock supergroup featuring members of bands including Strung Out, Pulley, No Use for a Name, Face to Face, Ten Foot Pole, The Tank, you know, all the heavy hitters in the punk world, and any number of those bands I would happily play on the show if it was a punk show.
DanHOST
But, you know, we're, we're doing horrorpunk.
DanHOST
Now, this track originally featured on the Punk Rock Halloween: Loud, Fast and Scary compilation back in 2017.
Kyle DevlinGUEST
People get busy, too, sometimes.
Kyle DevlinGUEST
I remember one time I asked Matt Riddle from No Use for a Name, and he played for Face to Face.
Kyle DevlinGUEST
He was a bass player.
Kyle DevlinGUEST
And he was moving.
JohnHOST
So anyway, you also don't get, there's just not that much music.
JohnHOST
You get Hard Rock Bottom by No Use for a Name, which is good.
JohnHOST
There's just not a lot in 2002.
JohnHOST
Even the emo side.
Joe PrincipeGUEST
It was, it was like, Oh, this is like, that was so, I mean, super happy for him.
Joe PrincipeGUEST
Cause 88 fingers Louis tour with no use for a name so many times.
Joe PrincipeGUEST
And like when I first met them, no use for a name, they were touring on daily grind on fat and they had this guy, Ed Greger, who was in a band called hedgehog was in the lineup.
Joe PrincipeGUEST
Then they got Chris Shifflett.
Joe PrincipeGUEST
I think after, after that.
DeathHOST
one.
IanHOST
Tony Sly was an excellent songwriter, but I just can never connect with No Use for a Name.
DeathHOST
Their last three records are fucking bangers, dude.
Lil' JoeyGUEST
Oh, yeah.

time
JanieHOST
it's the kind of song that every time you get a cover of it it's gonna have a different emotion applied to it
KaiHOST
No Use for a Name is one of my favorite bands, like, of all time.
KaiHOST
And so their cover, it's just so good.
KaiHOST
If you haven't heard it, you really need to listen to it.
