WEBVTT

00:00:15.598 --> 00:00:17.809
All right, gentlemen! Get
ready for the moment of truth.

00:00:17.934 --> 00:00:20.270
Because you’re entering
your metal castle

00:00:20.478 --> 00:00:22.188
and will turn the ship into the

00:00:22.188 --> 00:00:23.523
most battleship in the whole world.

00:00:23.523 --> 00:00:25.358
Yeah! Welcome.

00:00:25.358 --> 00:00:27.694
And for your information,

00:00:27.694 --> 00:00:29.112
these tables will be ready in less than

00:00:29.112 --> 00:00:30.572
half an hour and in the meantime...

00:01:32.967 --> 00:01:33.968
From the White.

00:01:42.143 --> 00:01:45.105
[heavy metal growling]

00:02:20.140 --> 00:02:22.433
But getting

00:02:22.433 --> 00:02:23.977
off the ground.

00:03:00.388 --> 00:03:02.056
So welcome everyone.

00:03:02.056 --> 00:03:04.100
But on the third 70,000

00:03:04.100 --> 00:03:05.101
tons of metal,

00:03:05.977 --> 00:03:07.979
the third time sold out in a row.

00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:09.606
Where did the idea for this festival

00:03:09.606 --> 00:03:10.607
come from?

00:03:11.441 --> 00:03:13.568
Well, ideas

00:03:13.568 --> 00:03:14.569
of drunken minds.

00:03:15.820 --> 00:03:17.780
I live in Vancouver

00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:19.991
for nine years now, and I

00:03:19.991 --> 00:03:22.202
actually happened to see the

00:03:22.202 --> 00:03:23.703
Canada place the cruise ship here,

00:03:23.703 --> 00:03:25.663
where all the cruises to Alaska

00:03:25.663 --> 00:03:27.665
leave from

00:03:27.665 --> 00:03:28.708
my apartment.

00:03:28.708 --> 00:03:30.543
So about six years ago, I

00:03:30.543 --> 00:03:32.420
was sitting there on

00:03:32.420 --> 00:03:33.796
the balcony with a couple of my

00:03:33.796 --> 00:03:35.840
friends and we had some drinks.

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.592
Most obviously, I had one or two too

00:03:37.592 --> 00:03:39.469
many and I

00:03:39.469 --> 00:03:41.262
had this idea. I would shout out to

00:03:41.262 --> 00:03:42.680
parties and play for the heavy metal

00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:44.390
festival, and everybody was like

00:03:44.641 --> 00:03:45.934
Ah! You’re nuts, you know?

00:03:46.976 --> 00:03:47.977
Here we are.

00:03:48.478 --> 00:03:49.687
That\'s how the idea was born

00:03:54.317 --> 00:03:55.318
Yeah.

00:04:45.535 --> 00:04:47.996
I work in a grocery store

00:04:47.996 --> 00:04:50.081
and sometimes I do DJ gigs

00:04:50.081 --> 00:04:52.583
on the side and promote local shows.

00:04:52.583 --> 00:04:53.543
You know, I didn\'t have a lot of

00:04:53.543 --> 00:04:54.711
friends when I was growing up.

00:04:54.711 --> 00:04:56.421
I played a lot of video games.

00:04:56.421 --> 00:04:57.755
You know, when you get like fucked

00:04:57.755 --> 00:04:59.590
with in high school

00:04:59.632 --> 00:05:01.009
picked on a lot, you know, you kind

00:05:01.009 --> 00:05:02.385
of want something angry, you know?

00:05:02.385 --> 00:05:03.803
So it was easy for me to get into

00:05:03.803 --> 00:05:05.596
Megadeth and Slayer.

00:05:05.596 --> 00:05:06.639
No problem.

00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.850
It\'s about the people.

00:05:08.891 --> 00:05:09.976
It\'s about the Brotherhood, the

00:05:09.976 --> 00:05:11.853
fellowship and the

00:05:11.853 --> 00:05:12.854
beer.

00:05:22.697 --> 00:05:25.575
Currently, I\'m an unemployed factory
worker.

00:05:26.367 --> 00:05:28.328
You go to a show and you\'re getting

00:05:28.328 --> 00:05:29.829
the pit. You jump around, you run

00:05:29.829 --> 00:05:31.748
around and really just

00:05:32.957 --> 00:05:36.753
all the stress builds up over the
last weeks, months,

00:05:36.753 --> 00:05:37.754
it’s all just gone.

00:05:37.754 --> 00:05:38.921
It was all all vented out.

00:05:39.589 --> 00:05:41.382
I’m having a fantastic time so far.

00:06:00.151 --> 00:06:01.944
How hard was it to convince the ship

00:06:01.944 --> 00:06:03.321
company to let us on board in the

00:06:03.321 --> 00:06:04.322
first place?

00:06:05.531 --> 00:06:07.075
Well, in the beginning, of course,

00:06:07.075 --> 00:06:08.951
they were kind of wary

00:06:08.951 --> 00:06:11.037
in America where heavy metal is

00:06:11.037 --> 00:06:13.122
is not as mainstream

00:06:13.122 --> 00:06:14.791
as in some European countries.

00:06:14.791 --> 00:06:16.334
There is probably still a certain

00:06:16.334 --> 00:06:18.920
stigma attached to heavy metal,

00:06:18.961 --> 00:06:20.922
loud music, extreme music, some

00:06:20.922 --> 00:06:22.423
extreme looking people.

00:06:22.423 --> 00:06:24.550
But if you are in the metal scene,

00:06:24.550 --> 00:06:26.094
if you know metal people, there is

00:06:26.094 --> 00:06:28.012
usually a very soft kernel.

00:06:28.012 --> 00:06:29.972
There is like it worked out

00:06:29.972 --> 00:06:31.516
brilliantly. In the meantime,

00:06:33.267 --> 00:06:34.685
the whole ship, the whole crew

00:06:34.685 --> 00:06:35.978
they all love us.

00:06:35.978 --> 00:06:37.021
They always say

00:06:37.021 --> 00:06:38.689
you just never complain.

00:06:41.984 --> 00:06:43.986
I\'m not going on regular cruises.

00:06:43.986 --> 00:06:45.947
I mean, I see these people sometimes

00:06:45.947 --> 00:06:46.823
when I come for a ship

00:06:46.823 --> 00:06:47.824
inspections. Yes.

00:06:48.866 --> 00:06:51.035
I don\'t know really how how it is.

00:06:51.035 --> 00:06:52.286
It\'s not.

00:06:52.286 --> 00:06:53.788
It would probably not really be my

00:06:53.788 --> 00:06:55.581
thing. But obviously, those people

00:06:55.581 --> 00:06:57.667
are much more troublesome than our

00:06:57.667 --> 00:06:59.961
heavy metal crowd,
so it makes me proud.
