Electric Apricot Page #9

It's up here.

Yeah, we gotta just kind of

cruise through town a little bit.

But what's the road?

What's the turn?

What's the-

Is there a name?

Special event.

That's us, special event.

Is that it right there?

Yeah, this one up here,

this is the one.

All right, so here

we are at Festeroo.

We're getting

our credentials.

Really exciting.

We're checking in,

we're gonna start camping,

and we're going to

get ready for the gig.

This is a very

symbolic thing

because the gates

of Festeroo here...

We're here, guys.

I know, dude. F***ing...

We're here, man.

Dude, how many times

have we been f***ing jamming

and f***ing doing

a freedom jam and going,

We're getting to

Festeroo one day, dude.

Oh, Lapdog.

Yeah?

We should get, uh...

tattoos!

Matching tattoos.

Electric Apricot.

You know, I've always

wanted to get a tattoo

of a battleship

on my chest.

Aw, Christ.

Gordo.

Gordo. Hakia.

Remember they talked about

free love in the '60s?

Uh-huh.

This festival's totally

the same thing, like free love,

except for now

it's not free.

Like a guy like me, I have

no problem getting chicks,

but it's cool guys like you

can come to this festival

and just score

chicks, man.

I just think that's

just f***ing-

That's why I love

these places, man.

They're awesome.

We ain't got

no free love yet.

You have gotten any yet?

That's why you gotta

hang with us, dude.

I've never heard

of Electric Ay-pricot.

Actually, let me try again.

I've never heard

of Electric App-ricot.

I say App-ri.

Um...

Well, let's see,

first of all,

they should lose

the food name.

That never works.

The Electric part is okay.

Well, this one, um-

Okay, so let's see.

The purple, the combo Thursday,

which is the purple one,

was the late night

shows on Thursday.

The reason that I'm-

The one redeeming value

is the corn,

because it's better than

any other festival's corn,

and I love that.

Brought me here.

And the yellow one

is the combo Friday

for late night shows

on Friday.

That's quite

an appealing,

evocative gaze,

if you ask me.

Good to know.

Not beer.

There are all types

at Festeroo.

All types:
tall, big, small.

So, on that one side of your mouth?

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, there you go.

Like this?

Yeah, that's...

that was closer.

The combo, like,

I guess some kind

of weird pink color

was for Saturday.

And then I have my combo

Sunday, which is orange.

So- I don't think

that's going to help, dude.

I can't eat stuff... If it's

stuffed, I can't eat stuffed.

Sweet Potato?

I can't eat sweet.

Grilled?

Can't eat grilled.

Why can't you

eat grilled?

Caeser? Can't eat Caeser.

Why?

Right now all I can eat

at this festival

is like, wheatgrass.

So far I found one place

that sells wheatgrass

and there's one place

that sells these rocks

that you put in cinnamon

and you can lick them.

So I'm kinda hungry, dude.

The timber's off...

Wolf is running round

Winter was so hot and cold,

put him beneath the ground

No, don't kill me

No, don't kill me

We are at Festeroo

and I had to step up.

I had to bust out the special

leopard skin glasses,

They aren't even

leopard skin anymore

because I've been

to Burning Man

so many times with these

that it's faded out.

See that guy

right over there?

The guy with the-

That's Matt Abts, man.

That's incredible.

I can't believe

he's even here.

That's incredible.

It's an honor

to meet you, man.

Oh, thank you, man.

Incredible.

I love the way you play

that Slingerland kit.

I like how you got

the tunings really open.

You're getting all that

ring, that resonance.

Oh, yeah. As much as I

can. I mean, that's just-

Warren f***ing-

Warren f***ing Haynes.

Warren f***ing Haynes, dude.

You kind of got

the bottom thing going,

but I also see

- were you ever into Cozy Powell?

I kind of get...

Love Cozy Powell.

I get, like,

a Cozy Powell...

The Jeff Beck stuff

he did especially.

I remember hearing him

with Rainbow

when Dio was singing

with Rainbow.

Yeah. You know, Long

Live Rock 'n' Roll.

That was back when

I was kinda crazy,

playing a lot of kind of

more heavier music, you know?

Excuse me, Warren?

Yes, sir.

Hey, how you doing?

Hey, man, how you doing?

Steve Gordo Gordon

from Electric Apricot.

Nice to meet you Steve.

How do you do?

I'm doing pretty good.

I'm a big, big fan.

Well, thank you.

Hey, you gotta second?

Could ask you a couple

questions or something?

Sure, I got a second.

Phil Collins, I don't know

what happened to that guy.

I mean, he's such

a great drummer.

I don't know why

he started doing

all this cabaret,

Las Vegas-y thing.

Yeah, that's true.

Brand X, man.

Yeah.

That was a good band.

Yeah, I don't know

what happened.

He's got

cool hair, though.

Most people run their

pre-amp really hot,

and I don't run mine very hot.

Uh-huh.

So it gives it more

bottom-end at low pre-amp.

I-I see that, because you got

all the tone right there.

Thanks for taking some

time to talk to me.

Anytime.

I know you got a lot

of things to do, so...

It's quite all right.

Gordo? You said it's Gordo?

Gordo.

It's nice to meet you, Gordo.

Hey- Pleasure, pleasure.

My pleasure. Hey, do you

like to go to the zoo?

Do you go to the zoo?

I don't go often, but-

Do you like to feed

the ducks in the park?

Uh, you know, I'm not

a big duck-feeder.

I like ducks.

Yeah? I can see that.

Yeah, yeah.

You can screw my

girlfriend if you want to.

She's totally down, dude.

Yeah?

I probably would

feel too guilty.

I'm married and she's

your girlfriend, you know?

Oh, oh, okay.

All right.

But I appreciate the offer.

I mean, it's probably-

it's coming from your heart

He was okay.

He was kinda weird, you know?

He offered me to sleep

with his girlfriend.

Something about ducks

and feeding ducks and-

I don't know.

Maybe he was a little high

or something.

Okay, I just was

a f***ing total dipshit.

I think you'reoverreacting.

Nah, dude.

I think you're

totally overreacting.

I'm not.

I was sitting there

telling him, dude,

he can sleep

with my girlfriend?

Well-

What the f*** is that, dude?

You don't even have

a girlfriend.

What the hell?

I'm trying to tell you, dude.

Where the f***

is that coming from?

Oh, man. I don't think

it's as bad as you think.

No, it's the f***ing

nightmare.

It's the worst thing in my

whole entire f***ing life.

I got to meet Matt Abts. It's

supposed to be the best day ever.

Feed the ducks.

What are you

talking about, ducks?

I asked him if he wanted

to go feed the f***ing ducks!

What does that mean?

I don't know.

He was walking away,

I wanted to talk to him.

I didn't know

what to f***ing...

So you talked

to him about ducks?

I just- I don't get it.

I mean...

I don't know

what to say, dude.

I didn't know

what to say, I just...

F***ing, I turned

into a blithering idiot

ass-f***ing-hole.

It just kind of tripped

him out a little bit

that he told me

he felt like he made
