[00:00:55]>> All right, quick little rant here at the beginning. Um, I found this gentleman on accident. This is going to be a one of those like never judge a book by its cover type thing. I know this song.

[00:01:06]>> Kyle [clears throat] does not. I really wanted to show let him see this, show him this. So, let's just go. This is not a live performance, but I think it's a live recording of him doing something.

[00:01:15]>> Correct.

[00:01:16]>> Yeah. Welcome back, you music junkies.

[00:01:18]I'm Eric. I'm the hip-hop head.

[00:01:19]>> I'm Kyle. I'm the metal head. And we're brothers that react to [ __ ] So, let's do that. Tonight, we have Gavin Copeland, Blood in the Water. Let's get into this.

[00:01:32]>> I know this man's got a deep voice.

[00:01:34]Deep, deep voice. Well, you're about to find out. [music] >> I don't need money. I don't need [music] >> this man talked like this the last time I saw him and now he's got an upper register. [laughter] What the [ __ ] dude?

[00:01:55]>> This dude, this song has been on [laughter] straight repeat for a week, >> man. So, this dude, he's got a very He does have like a Teddy Sims kind of like vibe to him, >> man.

[00:02:06]Like, it's the soul, you know what I mean? All right. All right. All right.

[00:02:08]All right. Here we go. All right.

[00:02:11]At first, I thought that was like a backing vocal thing, but >> I don't need money. I [music] don't need I just want respect when you say my name. God is my witness. Don't waste my time. I'm from the [singing] gut. I [music] take your life.

[00:02:34]There's blood in the water.

[00:02:36]>> Oh, come on.

[00:02:39]>> [music] >> Oh, I'm loving the way that I'm living.

[00:02:45]I've been through hell. [music] I ain't no Superman.

[00:02:53]There [music and singing] ain't no on my chest.

[00:02:58]I'll take off the gloves.

[00:03:02]come [music] to I'm a diamond in the ruck.

[00:03:09][music and singing] >> Oh my god, baby.

[00:03:16]>> Okay.

[00:03:17]>> Fatality.

[00:03:19]>> Okay. So, but I I agree with this with the consensus of that. It's like when you were saying, don't judge a book by its cover. But I think also too is to not let your ears let you go astray either, >> you know, because man, one of the things I always love when I was a kid was whenever I would know that there was a lead singer and then they would do an interview and I could hear what their voice actually sounded like. You know what I mean? Like, you know, it's like when you hear John Resnick, he's got that kind of, you know, that like, you know, raspy voice when he talks or whatever where it's it's like, well, of course he's goooo dolls. You know what I mean? Like he's got that deal. But man, sometimes there are just people that their voice is like it's not so much to the Aussie point where it's like you can't understand them except for when they sing, you know, but in the same hand it's but this is a complete it's completely out of left field. Like I can't even think. So >> that's what I said, man. Like I was really excited because I was blown away.

[00:04:12]Like I said, I found this on accident through a Tik Tok.

[00:04:15]>> Guys, if you've not seen the original Tik Tok, do yourself a favor. like find some Tik Toks or some videos of him talking and then come back and listen to this cuz that will completely >> Yeah. People think that his voice is fake and he's doing it on purpose. But >> well, you know what? If he is, then he's due to because he's happy to be here.

[00:04:30]So, >> all right, let's get back into it, man.

[00:04:32]>> Let's do it. [music and singing] I'm a [music] diamond [singing] in the r. I don't give a [ __ ] I'll die before I trust you.

[00:04:49]>> I don't need money. I don't need blame.

[00:04:53]I just want respect when you [music and singing] say my name.

[00:04:57]>> God is my witness. Don't waste [music] my time. I'm from the gutter. I take your life.

[00:05:06]>> I'm from the gutter.

[00:05:08]>> I'll take your life. [singing] Oh, buddy. Yeah, >> dude. He's got so much >> I got goosebumps still, >> dude. I've heard a hund times.

[00:05:21]>> This what I what I also love about this one because I want to go about this properly here. So, I guess we pause here, you'll get over it. Um but uh no dude there's there's something about those phrases like there's blood in the water like um what and the only thing that's coming to my mind is like Stevie Avon which honestly when Patreon kicks in and we start doing that as a norm and stuff. I think that's one of the things I want to take you through or see if people are are interested in that if we can do like kind of more of like a blues thing.

[00:05:48]Yeah. We don't got to go through all of Steviey's stuff cuz it would take like 60 years. But um but no um when you think of the blues, when you think of the attitude, when you think of the feeling, everything that comes with it is that there's a lot of meaning that's put into words that are said in a statement where like when he gives you that stank face, like it's almost that metal stank face that happens. Um, there is a song by Stevie Rayvon called You Better Leave My Little Girl Alone.

[00:06:15]>> And it's it's just it's one of the craziest solos he's ever done, but dude, like there's so much history and so much emotion just in that phrase. Like, you better leave my little girl alone. Like, it's Oh my god. But with this, like, no, there's blood in the water. Like, it's a classy way of saying I'll [ __ ] cut you. I love it. That's what I love about >> I'm from the gutter. I'll take your life, dude. Dude, it's that that's that's what's great about blues music is that when it's done proper is that dude there it's I wouldn't say it's like the best genre genre or it's like excelled or anything, but dude, blues does something that no other genre can do.

[00:06:47]Yeah. You know, so >> it's got it's got the most feeling I I think.

[00:06:50]>> Yeah. Yeah. All right, here we go.

[00:06:51]>> All right, let's go, guys. Blood in water.

[00:06:57]Oh, [music] [ __ ] I see you [music and singing] running out.

[00:07:07]Think you safe in some [ __ ] around and find out. Your [singing] playground's my house. So go [music] ahead, run your mouth.

[00:07:16]>> My playground is your house, so go [laughter] ahead and find. I love how you also said [ __ ] around and find out as well, too. Hell yeah. your playgrounds, [music] my house. So go ahead, run [singing] your mouth. You can call me the key where you out. [music] I don't need [singing] money, I don't need blame. I just want respect when you say my name. God is my witness. Don't waste [music] my time. [singing] I'm from the gutter. I take your time.

[00:07:48]>> [music and singing] >> Dude, >> I love him like he's [laughter] >> Oh my god.

[00:08:05][music] >> We got a little little guitar.

[00:08:11]Blood in water.

[00:08:19]There's blood in the water.

[00:08:23]>> My god. Still goosebumps, dude.

[00:08:25]>> Okay. Okay.

[00:08:26]>> And I've heard it a hundred times already, >> dude. This This has got man, it's there's sometimes people's voice, the music, the choice, everything, the formula of how everything's put together. It's just it puts you into that state as we we say this a lot is that this is a repeater. It's the fact of that even when you're not paying attention to it, it's nourishing your soul. It's the it's it is all-encompassing you. And we've we've had that across so many different just genres, but also just so many different artists that we've had the pleasure of doing, you know, like with you guys and everything. And but dude, Gavin here, like I mean, this is >> honestly what it makes me makes me want to know and and I'm not saying that this isn't real or anything, but just like any other vocalist is that that's great.

[00:09:11]You sound like this in the studio. What does your live stuff sound like?

[00:09:15]>> I I've heard him sitting in front of his phone.

[00:09:17]>> Okay. See, so that that's that's what I would want to know is like the >> sounds just like this.

[00:09:20]>> Okay, perfect. So, um but >> raw ass [ __ ] Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[00:09:24]>> I mean, cuz it's honestly it's just like, you know, when Ronnie would do his thing and he would like he would show his oporadic parts he could do like via like technology.

[00:09:30]>> I wanted to know too, >> you know, and it's so again now I've said this before too is that I'm okay with studio artists, right? Again, it's one of those that if you're not claiming that you can do it live, then dude, write something that does something to my heart. You know what I mean? Like, it's like do some high notes that you necessarily can't hit, but don't paint yourself as a live artist and then, you know, but then only be a studio artist.

[00:09:52]You know what I mean? I think there's places for both, you know.

[00:09:55]>> I agree. I I I agree, man. And but like I said, this was just one of those things where, you know, never judge a book by its cover, number one. and you know just the fact of he had so much soul and and conviction and just everything with his voice like I it's been a long between him and like Teddy Swims it's been a long time since I've heard somebody be like this man >> like he's just he's got an old soul man and I I don't know like what his upbringing was as far as like what he listened to. I I legit have known this guy's name for like a week.

[00:10:29]>> Mhm. So, and I didn't want to get too far into it because if this was something we could go through because he has other things, >> right? Yeah.

[00:10:36]>> Um, and guys, like I said, sorry Gavin, if you do see this for some reason that we didn't do the one on your channel, I wanted him to see you and and do like performing it. So, this is unfortunately not on his channel. Please go check him out and give him some love. Let him know Riker Road loves his stuff and so does Chandler.

[00:10:52]>> So, but yeah, I'm just I'm super glad that you like this. I had a feeling you would.

[00:10:56]>> Oh, this is impossible to to not like. I mean, it's honestly, it's one of those that if you don't like this, you're wrong. [laughter] You know, so it's like what I told my my boss many years ago when she told me that she didn't like the Avengers. I'm like, you don't have a [ __ ] soul. I'm sorry to tell you. If you like I I heard an atheist say that about that movie. Okay, that's how I feel about this. If like, dude, it's like it's this is >> anyone that listens to this or like I can even just tell with him is that they just have good taste. This this is what good taste sounds like.

[00:11:24]>> For sure, man. For sure. But well, guys, this was incredible. I'm glad he liked it. So maybe we'll get to go through more of this stuff in the future. So you know what to do if you liked it. Hit all the buttons and we'll see you next time.

[00:11:35]Cheers. Adios.
