Forklift: Ok it should be recording now
Gabe: We are tilt, sorry for flaking you last time
Jeffery: I'm Jeffery I play guitar
Vince: I'm Vince I play drums, sorry about last time.
F: so what did you guys do the day you didn't do the interview?
Vince: uh we...
Jeffery: ..drove and drove and drove, the wrong way probably.
Gabe: ya after detroit where did we go, cleveland or something?
Jeffery: I can't remember...NO we went north! to london, ontario.
Vince: Border crossin you know,
Jeffery: In fact there some people from london, ontario here today.
F: You know a lot of people who follow you around shows?
Gabe: Ya, we have totally like after Jerry [garcia] died, we have like
the tilt heads now. they've all converted over to us.
Vince: we say "leave hippy leave! dont come in here!" and yet they
still do.
Gabe: they swarm, it's strange. but i find myself converting to their ways, because look, I'm wearing a white T-shirt today. It's the first time I've worn a white T-shirt on this tour.
F: ..is it?
Gabe: .. all my other t-shirts are black.
Cinder: Someone tried to make my T-shirt a wet t-shirt by throwing that
water bottle at me.
Gabe: ya that was a close hit.
F: What would have you done if uh...
Cinder:...would have hit me?
F: ya.
Cinder: I would have like killed the guy!
F: did you see who did it?
Cinder: No, I would have killed that whole area!
F: What size crowds are you used to? Isn't this crowd alot bigger than usual?
Jeffery: For the warped tour? This is probabaly a medium to small crowd for the warped tour. but for the crowd size doesn't matter, it's a matter of the type of people who are there. at most of the shows there have been really cool people.
F: Last time you guys played it was to about 40 people in the Shelter.
Jeffery: When Face to Face was playing upstairs?
F: ya
Jeffery: It was at the exact same time.
F: It kinda bummed didn't it?
Jeffery: Actually it wasn't too bad because we had a good time.
Gabe: we take our advice from sammy davis jr. whether there's 1000 people
or one person you give it your all.
Jeffery: We leave a bit of ourselves on stage every night. we sacrifice
the inner child.
Cinder: what?
Vince: but he doesn't let his inner child get anywhere near his uh um
something or another nevermind..
Cinder: no his feminine side.
F: Jeffery you seemed a little talkative today between songs. (Jeffery seemed to have a little speech between each song that day)
Vince: I know!
Gabe: hometown!
Jeffery: I only talked during one...
Cinder: he was just babbling.
Jeffery: I just noticed a lot of things, you know, people... it's just
that i think it's really cool that punk rock is getting a lot of
mainstream attention cause it brings it to more people. but it's
just punk rock, just kids playing music, it's not fucking jerry
garcia or jimmy page and led zeppelin. It's just kids like these
guys(fellow fans sitting around) making a band in their garage,
and that's all it is. ya and it's fun you know that's all. and
that's all I was talking about when i was talking.
Cinder: Ya! anti-establishment, fuck the establishment. down with profit
and greed! and conspicious consumption!
F: If you guys had to change your name what would you change it to?
Jeffery: Tiltosis
Vince: Tilt EB [east bay]
Gabe: Tilt HC, Tilt Jr.
Jeffery: Kill the Lawyers
Cinder: Tilt Tuesday
