Music is the main event around here, but nobody said it had to behave. This is the corner of Moe Train's Tracks where the funny stuff lives: comedian interviews, comedy news, and the moments from the show that still get quoted years later.
Yo! Fair warning. Some of these interviews turned into a laugh riot with a microphone sitting in the middle of it.
Here is the score that actually matters in this business: making a comedian break. Moe Train sat down with Kyle Gass of Tenacious D in the Rothbury media tent and had him cracking up through the entire conversation. Gass held court, Moe held it together. Barely.
“Working the festivals, saving a multi-national corporation, that’s how I be.”Kyle Gass, mid-interview
Stand-up, comedy records, funny people doing loud things. If it makes the room laugh, it lands here.
At 95, William Shatner has recorded a heavy metal album called What The F Is Heavy Metal?, with Brian May, Rob Halford, and Dave Lombardo among about 50 guests. The first single lands this winter.
Skrillex's first Farm set in 12 years, the Strokes, Noah Kahan's coronation, Kesha's Superjam, and Weird Al at midnight. The Farm reopens tomorrow.
Proof the interviews are a contact sport. The lines and the moments that never made it out of the tent.
“Working the festivals, saving a multi-national corporation, that’s how I be.”
Kyle Gass, explaining his second career: personally saving General Motors from collapse, one festival at a time. Delivered deadpan in the Rothbury media tent.
Moe Train, a stage at Bonnaroo, and Oderus Urungus in full regalia. The GWAR interview happened in person, MTT mics in hand, in front of the whole festival.
Ric Flair on the floor at Wing Bowl 25, Wells Fargo Center. When Ric Flair shows up, the volume goes up on its own.
