Political beliefs notwithstanding, a gun is an inanimate object. That's kind of what we viewed in that song for the lyrical content. The guys in RED are super cool and both bands are artistic bands. They're just more middle slightly left of center in the active rock box, and they're highly creative and also have a spiritual side to what they're saying.
I was just told yesterday from management that the pre-sales are really strong already for this run. I looked at your pledge campaign and one thing kind of stood out to me there was bar hopping in Las Vegas with the band.
I know you're Vegas boys. Can you talk a little about maybe what a night out might entail in terms of bar hopping in Vegas for you guys? Oh man, we're born and raised out there me and my brother. It's our village. Just because we're lucky enough to grow up in such a unique place we know all of our good friends are people who get s--t done out there.
We know all of the cool spots that the locals go to that are outside of the touristy things. It's really up to the Pledge campaigners on what they want to do. Do they want to go do a pub type crawl where we can go and visit our favorite bartenders and do something like that? Or do they want to do something a little more "rock star" and go to some of the night clubs. We can get them to where they won't have to wait in line, there's no cover charge.
It's the VIP treatment so to speak. I'm excited about that because it'll be a good showcase for our hometown because we're so proud of being from there. I hate to sound like a whiney little brat but our friends in Imagine Dragons and some of the other guys like The Killers, Neon Trees, the more poppy sounding bands are what people think of when they think of Vegas. I know your love for football from your weekly picks blog that you used to do each week for us. I have to ask about your Las Vegas Raiders that are coming to town.
I'm a little nervous, dude. I've always repped Vegas but you know, maybe not that team. It's gonna be real interesting. I'm hoping.
I know it's gonna make for some great parties for damn sure. And plus, the Raiders have a pretty solid roster, right? With the birth of my two boys in the past few years I haven't been able to follow as closely as I once did. But, from what I've read it sounds like the team itself is pretty stacked. I'm just curious to see the community, how they'll handle and embrace the Raider Nation and vice versa.
So yeah, I'm excited about it. I'm a little nervous about it, but hey, that's what the best things are in life, right? Our thanks to Otherwise's Adrian Patrick for the interview.

What made you go with that track as the first single? Adrian: We went with that because it has both familiarities, people expect certain things from Otherwise, and it has us breaking into new territories for us.
New vocal phrasings, the heavier riffs and we were fortunate to write that sing with Julian and Matt from Rev Theory.
It also functions as an analogy about where we are from which is Las Vegas. What you see on TV and movies, which is the bright lights and flashy neon, hides the darker side that pervades in Las Vegas. We grew up in both extremes and Darker Side Of The Moon is the same, it has a melodic side and a darker edgier side.
When we were writing that song we imagined if we had a time machine would we go back in time and talk to our younger selves and what would we say to them?
My brother had that dark riff and it does go back to the darker rock from the 90s that we listened to. Metal Exiles: What else were you trying to get out to the fans through your music? Adrian: With the song Demon Fighter that you brought up, we all have demons that we have to deal with and I have put myself in some bad situations because of my demons that I let take control of the situation but that song is about defeating them using your inner strength and passion to overcome.
All The Pretty Things deals with suicide and my brother and I have dealt with that a lot unfortunately and its about not taking any moment for granted in life. Metal Exiles: How do you deal with all of this adversity in life? Do you just put yourself deeper in the music?
When life gets darker and hard to deal with you have to put your head down and force your way through it. One of the best examples of getting through it is that I am sitting here on a cool bus, talking to you getting ready to play a rock show.
There have been plenty of times in the past where we could have given up but we pushed our way through. The track is taken from the band's latest studio album, "Defy" , which was released last November via Mascot Records , a division of Mascot Label Group. As the entire civilization across planet Earth navigates towards a better day, the band took the path of continuing to create in support of "Defy".
Singer Adrian Patrick comments: "One of the hardest things we've ever had to do, as performing artists, was cancel our 'Defy Division' tour [due to the coronavirus pandemic]. It's left us wondering how we'll be able to feed our families, if we'll still even have a career after this.
We know that millions of others across the globe are facing the same dire prospect.
