ANDY WILLIAMS: Every Time I Die, AEW, & The Parallels Between Music & Wrestling (4K Re-Upload)
HardLoreShow Notes
Rest in peace to the universally beloved Andy "The Butcher" Williams of Every Time I Die, Atomic Rule and All Elite Wrestling. When it comes to leading by example, Andy was THE ultimate example to follow from the moment you met him. A beacon of kindness, the benchmark of cool, and an unbreakable pillar of love and support to everyone in his life. To know Andy was to love Andy, but more importantly, to know Andy was to feel loved by Andy.
Andy was our second ever guest on HardLore, and technically our 3rd ever recorded episode. In his honor, we've upscaled this original episode to 4K to preserve this important conversation in the highest possible quality. We will love and miss Andy forever and I can't wait to hear the band that he and Bo will surely be working on. Goodbye my friend.
Originally aired May 11th, 2022:
"Colin and Bo welcome Andy Williams to the show to recount some of his favorite tour stories, from his early days touring with Buried Alive, his long tenure with Every Time I Die, and how he went on to be able to balance his music career with wrestling full time for AEW as half of The Butcher and The Blade." __________ 00:00:00 - Remembering Andy Williams 00:05:29 - 10 Bell Salute 00:05:58 - HardLore Episode 4: Andy Williams 00:07:01 - The Parallels Between Music & Wrestling 00:11:53 - What Set Andy on a New Path 00:17:13 - Andy & Buried Alive 00:22:54 - Andy's Music Taste Refining 00:30:08 - Andy Asks the Worst Places We've Stayed On Tour 00:35:22 - ETID's 1 Star Hotel Gimmick 00:39:19 - Andy Tour Stories 00:48:04 - Balancing AEW & ETID 00:52:32 - Andy Loves Little Gear Now, Tour Stories Cont. 00:58:29 - Wrestlers and Their Musical Interests 01:03:27 - Wrestling Is Songwriting 01:11:16 - ETID Setting the Example For Touring Bands 01:16:45 - Andy on the End of ETID
More from HardLore
No need to have a nervous breakdown, we've finally got the legendary KEITH MORRIS on HardLore, one of the founding fathers of hardcore music.
This week we’re joined by Andrew Kline, co-founder and guitarist of one of California hardcore’s most important bands: STRIFE.
Hello welcome! Decided to take a minute this week to reflect on the last 4 and a half years of the show and do a little deep dive into what are, in my opinion, our top 10 most important episodes. "Important" meaning episodes that we talked about often that felt like game changers in different ways: Creative growth, audience growth, and personal growth.
Let the chaos begin... In March of this year, Bo and I had an idea to let the viewers decide on our next bracket episode (since you're never happy with the bands we pick) and this was the result. The top 64 bands, as voted by YOU! Every matchup was random in our first ever truly unpredictable live tournament challenge.
This week we're joined by vocalist Ross Farrar & guitarist Anthony Anzaldo of the great CEREMONY...
