I'm a big chocolate milk fan. On the road only, though.
Instead of putting them on a rack that's soaking wet, that comes out the next day still soaking wet,
it's like putting on wet blankets. It's disgusting.
Oh, what's up? Come on in.
Welcome to, well, the circus, I suppose. The Mushroom Head Bus.
We are out pushing, obviously, the Call the Devil, our newest album that we have out.
Lots of chaos, lots of fun, lots of new members, new characters. It's all good stuff.
It's Halloween time, so we have lots of horror movies, lots of gore.
Lots of everything that we do on a daily basis.
Thank you for that.
Crazy.
There's a lot of foot sprays that we use on this bus.
Get you Dr. Scholl.
This is Simon, by the way. He's the newest member.
To the clan.
Those are chipmunks.
Alvin and Theodore.
We got Vinny Klamhammer blowing up the bathroom in here.
Hey!
What you need to know is...
What do you want?
We said you can't use the shitter, man.
There's no brisket in here.
There's about to be.
We're not just pushing an album, we're pushing a signature cocktail as well.
There's no DeBiase Zone.
Oh, hell no.
There's DeBiase Tour Bus.
What?
Oh, hell no.
Man, you just missed him, brother.
Yep. You stay away from that sound guy.
He's trouble.
He's trouble, really.
Trouble.
Stevie just eats all day.
Lay off me! I'm starving!
Oh, hell no.
That's for you.
Make sure you check out my party list.
Join the monsters.
Well, we do a lot of peanut butter.
Can't forget the Nutella.
And everyone lives on coffee, so this coffee maker gets a lot of use.
Johnny, over here.
Oh, hell yeah.
Cheese, three meals a day, seven days a week.
He's on a six mac a day habit, I think, by now.
We call this the kid's drawer.
A few more cool snacks in different cities that are local to the area.
Kind of the singer's drawer, keep yourself healthy drawer.
You know, the good stuff.
We don't do the rider, we like to stop every morning.
We do our little Walmart run.
We put our grocery list up here.
So anybody who wants anything specific, throw it on the hoard.
We pick it up in the morning.
Things got a little excessive.
We have some people that bring us out some awesome snacks.
Full-on homemade cheesecakes, sandwiches.
Today we got catered by the Perry family.
They had the most amazing barbecue show up today.
It was ******* awesome.
And a pretty sweet music museum as well.
Catered by Vinnie's Clam Wagon.
That's right.
Yeah, the Clam Wagon.
We have a food truck some days.
Chris, pay for that, brother.
Oh, thank you, sir.
There you go.
I also have my griddle in here.
We do some cooking, some eggs, some pancakes, some French toast.
Fun stuff.
Oh, yeah, the glorious throne.
It smells like piss.
What?
It's never clean.
We got makeup lights galore.
If Neutrogena is ever into sponsoring or endorsing bands, we could really use these.
We'd go through a **** ton.
Shit tons.
Number one rule in the bathroom, no number two.
Want to talk about chocolate milk?
I'm a big chocolate milk fan.
On the road only, though.
I don't drink that stuff at home.
It's like fuel out here for me.
White Claws made him his own flavor there, right?
Yeah, I'm not going to show the label because I'm still waiting on my endorsement.
But, yeah, I need my White Claw endorsement.
Chocolate milk, White Claw, basically.
Yeah, that's right.
It's a good mixture.
So, yeah, I'm out here late doing that.
What's going on?
Yeah, I just walked off the bus.
I walked right past Stone Cold E.T., too.
He had an attitude.
He was making a ruckus.
He was part of the attitude era, to be fair.
He was looking for some cheese burgers.
He had a fully smashed Snickers bar when he walked off.
He was mad about that or something.
Check your mac and cheese out to make sure it's still there, too.
I hope so.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you, Simon.
Always keeping our feet honest.
That's his whole job after every show.
He sits on the bus for about two hours afterwards and sprays everybody's feet.
And quotes all the best mob movies.
Well, you're goddamn right.
That's true.
Oh!
Ew!
What, am I a clown to you?
But after a show, it's usually dark out.
Figured I'd mention that.
He's funny.
He's a funny guy.
Mm-hmm.
Funny how?
Funny how.
That's how you tell the story.
I can't really hear you through the mask.
That's what's funny about it.
Oh, what, am I a clown?
I couldn't tell you.
I can't even tell what you're saying to me right now.
Maybe I should take off my eyes.
Oh, you left me right in the eighth pair of eyes I got back there.
Okay.
Listen, fella.
He's a good guy.
Oh, God.
You're gonna like this guy.
He's got good foot spray.
This literally is essentially what happens at night.
Yeah.
This isn't far from the truth.
And throughout the day, really.
Oh.
I mean, you know.
It's just...
Yeah, it's not Motley Crue, guys.
Bunks?
Make sure you check out Jenkins' party lights in there.
Sorry to disappoint you, Internet.
All right.
Oh, oh, oh.
This is Jenkins.
He's got the party lights.
You know, he's always down for a good time.
I think his girlfriend's in the back corner.
Yes, he does.
They're a little wrinkled, Jenkins.
Specialty.
I don't think anybody's got it.
No, that's not a specialty.
No.
Stevie's.
This is the junk bunk.
This is where we keep some masks, which are all in the menu today.
We have the doctor's bunk.
He likes to keep it nice and soft and cozy and comfy.
Another junk bunk for luggage.
This is Johnny's bunk.
Don't film the bunker ice.
Dude eats mac and cheese all day, every day.
Hey, Scotty, you home?
I've got my alien blanket.
Oh, he's got his specialty stuff.
Simon's bunk.
It's about normal.
And then this disaster room.
We have to pull these beds down each night, Skinny and I, to form an actual bed.
And then we have to fold it up every day.
By the end of the night, I'm just passing out, trying to pull out a blanket.
We have our wardrobes back here, hanging, getting dry from the heaters up here.
Well, the masks we used to hang from all the clamps.
But lately, we've been hanging our towels and our wet stage gear.
And we have heaters up here, so it helps dry them.
Instead of putting them on a rack that's soaking wet, that comes out the next day still soaking wet.
It's like putting on wet blankets. It's disgusting.
I keep my hats in here until I sell them.
I got some fun.
New gifts.
We stopped home mid-tour, so I got to drop off a bunch of my gifts.
So I only have a few on here to show.
A couple over here.
JD, while we were at the Epic Events Center, we played some basketball.
That's how I met him last year.
So this year, he brought me a fresh basketball.
He did some art on it. He called me the Mosh Boss.
Then we just got this one in Joliet.
Nice little uni.
The only DVD on the bus this tour.
We usually have hard drives full of movies that we love.
But we forgot them, so we stopped.
And the only one we found that we wanted to grab was the three pack of Deadpool.
A little bit of art in here.
Working on a gas mask.
I'm making a little heresy mask.
And then this was just something fun.
I was working on the other day, sitting in the parking lot.
Every day at home, I go to the shop and we do art.
So being out here, I still try to do art every day.
I have some of the hats I've been wearing on stage that will get sold.
This is our little snack cabinet and toiletries and stuff.
Skinny and I do a lot of organic at home and clean eating.
So out here, we try to keep up with it.
But it's a lot harder on the road.
Especially when your only stop is Walmart.
But we do do Planet Fitness every morning.
8 to 10, we're at Planet Fitness.
And then straight from there, we go to Walmart and get our things that we need.
Well, we are still pushing that Call the Devil album.
