And we were scheduled to play at the Bataclan the next night, the next three nights-we were doing three nights there.Īnd we had flown in a few days earlier and the night that we got there, or the next night that we were there-this is still a night before our show- Eagles Of Death Metal were playing. We were in Paris during the Bataclan attack. I don’t know if a lot of people know this, but I’ll share this. I don’t want to speak for him, but I do feel like a little bit of it, and like I said earlier maybe the weed doesn’t help with that, but he’s paranoid.Īnd he has some right to be about certain things. Because he’s like really worried about society… And I think it’s a little bit of paranoia. I’m just saying if you don’t want to get ridiculed sometimes just don’t say some outlandish shit.īut I will say that I don’t think anything that he says is coming from a negative place either. I’m not saying that he has to keep it to himself because we don’t want to hear it. Kinda like what I was saying earlier, sometimes it’s like just keep it to yourself, you can believe in whatever-I’m saying for his own good. And the consequence is probably gonna be a lot of people talking shit. “I understand too, that it’s like, yeah you can have your opinion but you gotta know the consequence once you say it. From the simplest thing, if has something, you have something and he’s always been like that since we were kids.”Ĭhino also tried to stick up for Carpenter when the host pointed to "clickbait headlines" that resulted from Carpenter's statements: He’s probably one of the most generous people that I’ve ever known in my whole life. He’s a really, really sincere… And he’s smart-which is crazy-he’s very loving. I think it’s a little outlandish, some of his views on the world, the planet itself… But I mean you know I fucking love him, man. I’m not one to say that he’s got to think this way or whatever. But it’s not like I haven’t heard him go on his tangents before and it’s just like I’ll listen for two minutes and then I just can’t, you know what I mean? ‘Cause he’ll just go off into no man’s land.īut yeah it’s kinda tough, because obviously I want to support him-I feel like everybody should have their opinion on certain things here and there, whatever.

still friends the way we were when we were kids. We play music, we laugh, we have a blast playing music. It’s weird though, when we’re together it’s like we don’t even talk about any of that stuff. probably doesn’t help being smoked out and all that stuff and whatever.

I will say that the weed probably has a ‘lil bit to do with his conspiracies and this and that and whatever, because he just, you know… And then probably sitting at home, just looking on whatever sites he looks at.

But, it was actually tough for a minute, because obviously I’ve been friends with him since I was 10-years-old. “I’m surprised he’s not more of a meme… I think there may be a couple.
