Skeletal Remains - BUS INVADERS Ep. 2054

Yo, what's up? Chris here. Rustin from Skeletal Remains. Yeah, we're currently on tour on the Vortex of Violence with Warbringer, Allegiant, and Summoning the Lich. And, yeah, we're here at Reggie's. What are we touring? Our new album, Fragments of the Ageless. Yeah, welcome back. It's good to be back on this one. We're going to show you quite some upgrades that we have now. It's a totally different rig. And, yeah, I hope you guys enjoy it. Do you want to check it out? Alright, welcome to the driver's area of what I like to call the Dick Van Dyke. Beautiful van that we have here, our wonderful 2000-something Sprinter. This is Skeletal Remains' home for not only this tour, but several others at this point. So, come on down. This is our driver, Kyler. He's usually the one doing all the drives. He'll help out when it's super long drives. Yeah, this is his area. Pretty much, this is my office. That usually leaves music choice up to me too, but we just stick to the classics. Steely Dan, Lady Gaga, Men at Work, Cryptic Lust by Eternal. Been listening to that one a lot. Usually just run albums, and these guys sleep while I listen and drive at night. Or sometimes we watch TV. We have a TV up here. And we have this cool ******* shade. So, we're normally about 99% sleeping in the van now. So, it's like, yeah, these are crucial. You know, with the sun waking up in the ******* morning, you don't have the sun hitting your face. So, this is my office. Some key elements to surviving these long night drives on a tour are like this. Various forms of caffeine. We got Red Bull, coffee from said truck stop. Nicotine gum, which is crazy. Also, nicotine vape, cigarettes. That's the secret. Those are for the big ones. Gotta knock those out. That is my secret to handling the long drives for Skeletor Mains. Yeah, we also have a pretty cool bed that we sometimes use when we have a bigger crew. Like a sound guy that, like, kind of, specifically made for just adding the forms around the ----. We just inflate it, and I think you were the one that... Yeah, on the last tour, that's how I slept. So, every night we'd pull in, inflate kind of a T-shaped bed that fits between the buckets, and sleep kind of cockeyed in here. Yeah, and that's what these things are crucial for. Because, yeah, with somebody sleeping up here, it's like... Gotta block it out. Yeah. But, yeah, that's pretty much it. We got some tea. I mean, yeah. We use... I'm mostly the one that drinks it for my vocals here and there. But, yeah, I think that's pretty much it. Just a bunch of random bullshit, gibberish ----. But, yeah. What do we have in the door here, Rusty? Well, this isn't quite my area, but let's start with the shoe refresher spray, which, honestly, doesn't do a ******* thing. Can I say that? It does absolutely nothing, you know, for everyone's feet. I'm not going to point fingers. It's all right. We all have feet. We all poop. Everybody poops. This looks like some sort of gaff tape. This is gorilla gaff tape. Man, oh, man. You should be mouth taping. You only want to do nasal breathing at night. We don't want to be snoring. We don't want to be honking away, waking up our neighbors. So, we take a strip of this. We put it over our mouth. That way, when we're on our backs, you know, we just have a little. And then, immediately, your mouth is taped. I'm obviously, you know, doing a facsimile thereof. But your mouth is taped. You shut the **** up. There's no honking in the middle of the night. It's great. We love it. It's good for everyone. But continuing on, apparently, we played Detroit, because here is a moon mist flavored Faygo with real kick. You got to watch out for the kick. But, you know, we can go into locks. There's some sort of mobile urinal device. It could be, you know, it's anyone friendly. Any, you know, he, they, anyone can use this, honestly. There's locks. There's screws. You know, that's the long and short of it. Bang. Yeah, so this is, I guess, the middle area. Got some ******* practice amp here. These things rule. My guitar. Sometimes come in here and just, like, play, warm up, whatever the ****. And then, yeah, no, I think on this run, Kyler has been taking this here. We have, like, some mattresses in the back that we throw over, because these ******* seat belt things are killer on your back. So, yeah, we throw a mattress over that. It's pretty okay, right? Better than the front seat. Yeah, better than the front seat. What? The pickle clown popcorn. What is that? Feel free, man. Talk about it. So we picked this up in Canada. Actually, Destiny, our merch person, got this. Shout out to Density. Pickle clown popcorn. This ----, you want to talk about a kick? Forget the Faygo. This is going to give you a real kick, a real pickle flavor. All right, we're back. We just got a train run on us. Anyway, so the real kick in this pickle clown flavored popcorn, it's great. It's delicious. Yeah, so we took care of this one. And then, yeah, normally, yeah, it just depends on how big of a party we have. But, yeah, someone sleeps here. Someone sleeps in the front. And then somebody sleeps here, usually a smaller person, because you see that gap. But we have a mattress that we throw over it, and it kind of helps. I hope it does. I don't sleep there. But, yeah, our merch person usually sleeps there. And, yeah, we have our TV. After Millennial, go back. Extensive, you know, Jim Henson library. You're going to love it. Yeah, we've been watching that. I don't know, a bunch of random stuff. Oh, we haven't told you about Mario. Here's Mario. Hey, what's up, everybody? How's it going? He just woke up, dude. Just woke up from a nap a little bit a while ago. Having a fat burger here at Reggie's. What were you saying? What have we watched? We watched that Dracula movie. I just, I don't forget. Oh, no, not, what is it? Nosferatu. Nosferatu, yeah, we saw that a couple days ago. I don't know. Yeah, it was all right. What else have we watched? The Pal Show. We always watch the Pal Show. That's a classic. Yeah, a lot of comedy stuff, stand-up stuff. What, Paulo Francisco. I don't know, we're on tour and it's like super hot. And we gotta leave the door open. We can't have the van running all ******* night. So, we'll throw this down and it just kind of keeps it cool and keeps the bugs out. But, yeah, we have one here and we have one in the back, too, by the bunks. So, yeah, we can talk about the bunks if you want. We have two queen beds. So, for the most part, oh, yeah, all four. I like it up there because the AC things are up there. So, when it's, like, super hot, it cools us down. I don't know about you guys. Do you guys get much of the AC down where you're at? Yeah, we get blown pretty good. It's nice. Just blowing on each other. According not to Mario. Mario says it's super hot for him. But, yeah, that's pretty much our bunks. Let's show you the back of the van. Wet wipes. Plus, use water to clean your butthole. Why would you use dry paper? You got a hairy ass like mine. I got Chewbacca going on down there. So, you don't want to get little bits of paper. You know, you get intimate later. You're finding stuff. What's going on? Wet wipes. Welcome to the future. One more thing that's crucial when you sleep in somebody who snores a lot. You got to keep one of these on you at all times. If it gets a little too loud, you just crank it up, dude. And you just ******* quiet right there. You just got to keep it with you at all times. Yeah, that's pretty much it, right? What else do we got? Oh, we have this. Which we stole from Waterbringer last night. Nah, just kidding. They forgot it. And we drank most of it. So, don't tell them. Yeah, you want to talk about the results of that experiment? I don't know. I don't remember. There was vomit in the van. It wasn't any of us. Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. We cleaned it. Don't worry. You guys didn't see that. Yeah, that's our van, man. Well, actually, we keep a lot of stuff in here. Because most of the stuff is usually packed with merch. And we don't take everything in, obviously, because there's so limited room in there. So, you want to check it out inside? Yeah, there's some stuff in there. Yeah, normally, loading is usually, I mean, it's supposed to be all of us. But normally, that's not the way it works. Somebody's always missing. I think Mike's the one that usually takes care of arranging and Tetris-ing everything. He's got a good system down already. Tetris Trailer Troll. For sure. Mike, big shout-out to Mike. Tetris Trailer Troll. Every time. Killing it. Yeah. I think last time we were here, we had something a little bit smaller. This one here. This thing. Yeah, this thing's awesome. Now, we can pack so much stuff in there. You'll see. Can we talk about the penis that my son drew on this that looks like a whale? So, he came with us for two shows. And my son drew his first van penis. You can't really see, but it looks like Moby Dick. So, it's fitting. As far as most of our back line. Actually, we're using some of these cabs. Our cabs are still in there. These are the beds we normally use on those benches for people to sleep. We've got this cool AFI box that we just bought before this tour where our fogs go in. And yeah, we've got this jack, too, just in case we get a flat. And the rest of this stuff is just a bunch of merch and bins. We've got to have a spare tire for the trailer. But yeah, that's about it, man. So, yeah, thanks for watching. We're currently on tour. We've still got like ten days left. I believe so, yeah. And yeah, we're promoting our new album, Friendless of the Ageless. And yeah, we've been pretty ******* busy, so I'm sure we'll come around again. And yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed it. And I hope to see you at an upcoming show. Be there or be octagonal!
