This is the uncut version from a future documentary :
I’m releasing this finally because for one I’ve been keeping quiet about some of the things that happened during my time booking shows, and then actually basically running the club known as Soma, and there was controversy over certain bands that would not play the club and reasoning for that as well as ever rumors that have percolated over the years about why certain bands would not play a club SOMA.
Justin Pearson is a friend who am I still consider a family, as my little brother. They are many attempts that I’ve done to Tell the story but always kept certain facts out due to the fact that for one I couldn’t remember certain things and for two the more I try to remember things , the more repressed memories come up and made it even more difficult to figure out the truth. Justin as well as the rest of his band struggle and the band short-lived and I were all what I would consider pretty damn good friends and that is the origin story of how I ended up at the club.
We address a few things, but we also just had a really good chat, but one thing that I want to make perfectly clear that this is a conversation between two friends and there’s no hidden agendas, but Justin reminds me of an incident that I have suppressed. I didn’t realize that it was the beginning of the end of friendships that to me, even to this day ,are more valuable than any and everything that I did at the club. I lost myself and had to reinvent myself and in an atmosphere where I needed as much support as possible yet unfortunately the truth had to be buried so that I could do my work, which was amazing and for nine years theres hardly a band that didn’t get an opportunity to play on a real stage. Even trying to do this intro is emotional, so I’ll leave you with this, there’s no love lost for the owner and for all the torment I had to endure and I have come to terms with the past .
I do have regrets but to be able to sit at the table with my friend and talk after almost 40 years is priceless .
links below for Justin‘s projects .
Remember : You don’t pick your family, but you can pick your friends and when your friends become family, that is love.
RIP Eric.

We chat with Sammy who is a local legend when it comes to sound engineering, we go deep into his first years doing sound as well as some shows and partners as well as apprentices. Sammy was doing sound for SOMA even before i started booking shows and continued working with us on and off for many years .
He is known all over town and can be found 7 days a week at Humphreys as well as other local concert venues .
This was a great time and Im sure youll enjoy Sammy as much as Jer and Jerm do !

Jerm & Jer did our first remote session for this one. Gina , sister of the Cazares family , welcomed us to her home to hang out and record. Rocky , brother , was in town and Dino as well as Gina's son Zane , drove down as well as Jer. This was a bit of coordinating and even though I had to run home early , the family had a BBQ and I was blessed to be welcomed as family .

we talk about Dino`s projects and brush into a bit of history .

Dino Cazares : founding member/ creator of Fear Factory , Asesino , Divine Heresy and Brujeria, talks about roots of Brujeria ,as well as getting on Alternative Tentacles records .

We chat about Fear Factory`s AMAZING version of "cars" which is originally performed by Gary Numan as well as play some music including my favorite as well as Dino`s favorite Brujeria song .

Rocky shares stories of working at SOMA and Gina , whom we need to get more time to chat with, shares some stories with us.

This is one of the most fun ive had so far . Great people and we barely touched base on all the chaos !!

We had a few beers flowing and had some laughs as we catch up and the jokes fly and the drinks go down ! This was our longest episode to date.
jerm and jer chat with Dan Albert and Jeff Hawthorne . Dan plays trombone in Buck o Nine and Jeff Hawthorne played drums for Buck o Nine as well as G Spot.
We go back to the roots and once again the San Diego Reader is the place where they became a band thanx to the classifieds. This was 1987 .We discuss Jon Pebsworth( singer of Buck o Nine ) having a heart attack right before going on tour. Tony and Dan's stage mishap on the last show of the tour.
Having band members in 3 different states , practicing becomes different and touring is basically the way to get everyone together. We chat about international tours as well their live album and enough material for 2 more albums .
Jeff's introduction to playing with G-Spot and replacement drummer on tour with Buck O Nine . John Bell (UnwrittenLaw ) going on tour .
Jeff seems to have a nervous stomach before playing .
Lots of names dropped and lots of history !

drinking game : take a shot every time you hear a beer cracked open.

disclaimer : max was not with sepultura during that Japanese tour
