tbh i think she was just looking for an excuse to piss someone off

[Tux_Rocks]

I was a bit annoyed about how short this bit was, there could have been some stuff about the new album. :(

[Revolver-2005?]

He said he didn't actually want to join the military because he wasn't into fighting and stuff...but then he loves war movies?

[Amazed]

He said he didn't actually want to join the military because he wasn't into fighting and stuff...but then he loves war movies?

there's a big difference between movies and reality. I love thrillers and horror movies and stuff, but that doesn't mean I wanna kill people. :p

Really great! Appriciate you doing this, but this ain't working. It only plays the first like 10 seconds of it.

[Tijs]

Gayman, I just downloaded it to check. It's working fine for me. Try downloading it again.

[Mr. Orange]

Please someone can explain what Dexter say in this interview for not english people. Thanks ;)Well I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment, so for my non-english speaking friends who can't quite keep up, here's a mediocre transcript.



B: Tell me about flying a plane.

D: Right... It's cool.

B: It seems to be a great passion of your life now. When did you start doing that?

D: It was after Smash. I always wanted to do it. I couldn't afford it, so it was something I just kinda thought about and dreamed about or whatever. Saved up for. Well it costs about five thousand dollars to get your pilots license, which is a fortune when you're... you know, a struggling student and it's all you can do to afford a Peavey amp. *laughs* Y'know, that's your big splurge or whatever. Believe it or not, I actually tried to get into the air force academy out of high school and I almost made it. It's a good thing I didn't. But they weren't gonna let me in. They weren't gonna let me fly because my vision isn't 20/20. I'd have to wear glasses or contacts, and this is before the days of the surgery where they can just correct it now. And in order to actually be a pilot, a fighter pilot, in air force you have to have 20/20 uncorrected vision.

B: So it was because you wanted to fly so much that you wanted to go in the air force, not particularly because you like the military or these other things, because you seem fairly critical of military and government.

D: Yeah exactly. I don't know what I was thinking. I was 18. But luckily for me that didn't work out *laughs* They actually wanted me to come anyway. They were like "Why don't you come? You could be like an engineer or whatever" I'm like "eehhh, that sounds boring." So anyway, luckily, y'know for me, the band kinda took off and I had enough to pay for flying lessons, so I started doing that about 10 years ago. It was right after Smash. Y'know when a record comes out, especially when a record's breaking, you think that you're like "Oh wow! Now I'm gonna buy a yacht!" or whatever. But you can't do shit for about 2 years because you're going everywhere. You're doing every interview y'know, they've got you on the train and they're not gonna let you off the treadmill until they've milked every penny out of (He and Blag start laughing here. I can't make out what he says). So we're busy for about a year and a half and then we had a little time off in between records and I learned how to fly.

B: Well I have to say Dexter, you know of most of the people that I've met who've had a fraction of the success that you've had, it seems like you've largely stayed pretty true to where you started. I mean, to what do you owe the sort of equanimity that you took all the success that you had? It doesn't seem like you're desperate to have more, but it doesn't seem like you're actively throwing it away. You just seem to ride along and...

D: *laughs* I'm rolling with it. You know what I attributed it to is that we were a band... you know we started when we were 18. The band didn't break until we were 28. So we had 10 years, 10 solid years, of failure. Complete failure. And I think it was good because it taught us what it really means and what it's really like you know? Bands, a lot of bands, I think especially now that it's so much easier to get picked up by a major. The road to success can be very quick for some guys in bands. I think they don't really realize what that means or what it takes to get there. And we slogged it out every step of the way in our own van, making our own T-shirts, our own records, our records like that, we glued them together, we glued the sleeves together 'cause we couldn't afford the 25 cents per sleeve it took. We really did it all on our own and I think we just didn't see it as like, "Oh wow, it's such an easy thing. I can just treat it flippantly." or whatever. I mean, because we were in our late twenties instead of our earlier twenties we just had a little bit more of a perspective on it to kind of keep it real.

B: And you wound up sticking with your friends, sticking with the label as much as you could, sticking behind the bands that you signed, and...

D: I didn't move to Hollywood. Not yet. Not yet, maybe, give me one more hit single.

B: Did you ever think about being in movies and this type of stuff? Any branching out into any other media? Are we going to see you as the romantic lead in a Julia Roberts film any time soon?

D: I've always wanted to be like one of the guys in Saving Private Ryan. I wanna be in like a world war 2 movie. Just one of the 7 dudes, 'cause you don't have to look good, you don't have to really know how to act, you know, you'll probably get killed, which is cool. And you know, it's a military movie. It's cool. That's one of my dreams still.

B: OK, are you listening out there Steven Soderbergh? Dexter Holland is offering his services.

D: I'll do it.

B: John woo, he'll kick someone down the stairs.

D: I'll do whatever it takes. McG call me. Do a war movie. Come on.

[patoff10]

Merci beaucoup ! :D

[Hypodermic_89]

I like food.. Oh.
Yeah the interview was cool. And don't expect anything big in part 4. The interview was made in spring 2006.

[Mr. Orange]

Well, spring ends in late June. The interview could be as recent as 2 months.

Damn, I made a typo in my transcript.
"When did you start dong that?"
I gotta start typing a little more slowly. *Edits*

[Gayman]

Gayman, I just downloaded it to check. It's working fine for me. Try downloading it again.
No, still not working for me. It plays only like 10 seconds of it when I downloead it. Even when I press the link, it still only plays the same ten seconds!!!
What is wrong with my computer, or the connection!

[.:SMASH:.]

this one i thought sucked balls....didn't go for long enough and nothing he said really interested me...but im still on the edge of my seat for the last one!!! i hope it goes for longer than that one...

[thecavedog]

Yeah, cant wait for part 4....

... No if only we can get Noodles to write a new journal :rolleyes:

[Funderful Callan]

On the next part it should have the new Dirty Magic recording we've heard about.

NO! :eek: OMG IM SO EXCITED NOW!

[Kill Boy Power Head]

Dude, I got it thats where the inspartion for tehran came and i think he likes the combat of war like the strategy and the team work...our lol i could see dex hardcore paintballin but yea.. i think thats why he wrote tehran

[offspring fan]

Dexter should do a war movie with McG.

[Mr. Noodles]

I'll just (part of my) post my reply from the other thread:
I enjoyed the interview. I liked the "War movie" part. That would be cool and very interesting. I can't wait for the final part.

[H1T_That]

Part 3 is easily the worst of the 3.

[Mr. Noodles]

Part 3 is easily the worst of the 3.
The 2nd was my favorite.

[patoff10]

It's because the 4th will be awesome :D (I dream...)

[Gayman]

I really liked this third part. (Yes Tijs! i finally got it working :D )
Cause it had lots of good humor parts in my opinion. Very fun to listen, so I liked it.

[bouncingcoles]

i dont understand why they release the interviews in segments. they should just release it all at once. the 3rd part wasnt even cool, it was really short too which sucked.
