Live & Learn with Edsel Dope | Drinks With Johnny
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2022
- This week’s guest has taken his own path to success both in & out of the music industry, Edsel Dope frontman and visionary behind the band Dope.
We get into a deep discussion about how the music industry has shifted, and why it’s now the best time for up and coming bands to be successful. On the flip side, we also discuss the struggles that longer-tenured artists must endure to push through to connect with a new generation of fans.
Edsel opens up about how this shift in the industry has aided him in his ventures outside of music. We explore the world of Ecco Studios, the 3D/4D scanning company that Edsel started with his longtime friend. This leads us into a discussion about how this technology could impact the music industry (and the world) as we move deeper and deeper into Web3 and the expansion of the metaverse.
We also learn on this episode:
• The thought process behind releasing Dope’s Blood Money Pt. 0
• How Drama Club became a creative outlet for Edsel
• Why Johnny may be buying Edsel tickets to the Super Bowl
• What Edsel’s “Band to Fan” concept really means

Why is (DOPE) so goddamn underrated?! Not too many people know who they are. I loved their music in high school!! 😈😈😈
Same. First time I saw them was at Irving Plaza I think in 2001. Amazing band - should have been much bigger.
Edsel needs to write a book. From Dope to helping bring back static x to his secret electric music group to his tech company I mean the guy has had a fascinating career.
Great interview. Edsel: one of the nicest, well-spoken, welcoming, and professional guys in the business.
Thank you. And agreed 🤙
@@DrinksWithJohnny met Edsel back in 2003 after he just got done playing a sold-out show and he took the time to hang out and chat with people and was engaging and friendly as ever. Made me a fan for life.
So much great introspection by Edsel....and shout out to him for pulling double duty fronting both Dope and Static X on these tours.
Wow, what a surprise! My image of Edsel was a mix between Marilyn Manson and a total junkie like Layne Staley. He's an intelligent, business focused down to earth guy. I'm a fan now.👍
the layne staley part hit close 😢
met Edsel a few times at shows. one of the coolest, down to earth dudes
Very cool dude 😎
So killer how Edsel is tearing it up in static X! We did shows together way back early 2000’s. I definitely love you had him on your show. I learned a lot. Where things are going for us earlier recording artists
Glad everyone gets to hear Edsel’s story. Super underrated, talented guy that always helped me and gave me great advice. Had some epic times back in those Chicago days….Dave
This was a awesome interview you should definitely have Edsel back on soon
Super late to this but im really happy to hear more about drama club. I saw them with black veil brides and falliing in reverse in 2014 and at warped 2015 and ive missed them ever since
Edsel is new to me , I never really paid attention other than a few Static songs before hand with Wayne, but the Xero persona is just I absolutely am a Dope fan now, so good to discover new music, cool dude and it's funny to hear him say almost the same thing as Wayne getting out of the cold.
Such an underrated band dope an Sevendust have to be the two bands that never got the credit they deserve over the years ,amazing live performance bands an they put out consistently great music album after album
💯
Edsel Dope rules! I love the band dope!
Agreed
The more I listen to this guy the more I respect him. Edsel is such a good dude.
I used to work at the Masquerade in Tampa and got to help them load in and out at least 3 times. cool guys. \m/
IM a CD guy so glad edsel does cds
A7X and Dope tour! asap!
DOPE is very underated , everything i see on edsel just shows how real and down to earth he is
This has seriously been the best Edsel interview, what an experience this was, thank you so much Johnny!! Would love a A7X/Dope tour.
Thank you for the words
A7X sounding the seventh trumpet tour would be epic, after tht nope.
I bought a Dope album from one of those old music magazines back in high school. Didn’t know who they were and never heard their music. I just liked the description and album cover. Well that was a random blessing because I’ve been jamming them ever since
This was a great episode! Already looking forward to him coming back on.
Follow and listen wherever you get your podcasts for a follow up this week. 💪
I used to see them at Harpo's in Detroit in the early 2000's. They'd hang out in the back after every gig and just were cool as hell. Just saw them for the first time in over 20 years and they still freakin' rock man. Gotta tip my cap to that.
I remember i was 16 (now 36) on my bmx bike at the not x games but what ever the other one was and i was riding through and im like.. are you guys dope? And got their autographs.. before cell phones. Their show was at a small club in cleveland that went crazy and got destroyed
Holy fuck, would of never thought 1 of my artists have so many side hustles. Can't wait for the new album Blood Money pt. Zer0 (I hope Dope exists 25 years from now)
Really cool interview Johnny Edsel Dope is one of kind very hard working business savvy smart the guy really knows what he wants to do and gets it done the best way he knows how👍👍🆒🆒🤘🤘
🙏😊
Edsil Dope has got to be the smartest man. Would love to meet him and be close friends
Edsel is a great dude!!!
Admittedly I’m not a big Dope music guy but this guy is really nice, humble, and all around good person. Much respect to him and his future endeavors. ☺️🙏🏻🤘🏻
Stand up guy. Amazing interview.
looking forward to this sit down. I remember discovering Dope in 2001 as a freshman in high school. They had a track called Take Your Best Shot(I think) on a demo CD that came with Rob Zombies "Sinister Urge" album.
I think stop was on that sample disc along with static x black and white
@@adamc3360 YES!!!! That was it. I have been racking my brain for about a week thinking I might be wrong but I must have had a false memory.
Absolutely loved this! Great conversation and it was so interesting to hear all about what he’s doing!
I will never forget the first time I tried dope and I've been addicted since Life! Edsel has been DIY always! Thank you so much for all of the music and all of the fan service! I remember the 1,000 signed DVDs of every Group Therapy song music video(which was badass) as well as So much extra stuff I loved the AA Hoodie I got instead of the shirt and I got into trouble in high school because Edsel had the gun pointing forward! Lmao at the "Peter Pans", that finally got a term that covers some PPs I know! But I have been through hell the past 10 months and Dope has been my motivation music for pushing through tough times, and just everything you've done inspires me as I know so many others have as well! But Thank You, DOPE+ARMY 4 LIFE!
Great interview. Thank you. Subscribed.
Can't wait to see Static-X and Fear Factory on the Rise Of The Machine tour. Wonder how he will handle double vocal duty 🤔 hope his voice can hang the whole tour 🤘
Ill see them on april 7th in Chicago. Can't wait
Rise of the Machine is an amazing show if you haven't seen it yet.
Did great on the WDT tour.
Edsel Dope is a huge inspiration to me
Awesome interview
Love what you’re doing Johnny
Great interview!!!! Edsel is inspiring
Preorder both cd and vinyl of the new album. Can’t wait to get them
Oi, *DOPE* will always be one of my favorite *industrial/nu-metal* bands off all time - sadly and unfortunately, they're *QUITE* underrated. 😔 I *definitely* want to meet Edsel and the other members of the band some day if I can - *especially Edsel.* Also, I miss Simon - he honestly did *SO MUCH* for Dope as well; especially when it comes to their "industrial elements," DIY-work-ethic, the band's sound, etc. I saw Dope live back in April of *this year* as part of my 20th birthday celebration along with *Fear Factory* and *Static-X!* It was *ONE OF THE BEST* concerts/shows I've *EVER* been to, man! I definitely want to go see Dope live-in-concert again in the future (*hopefully* with Static-X as well, mate - because they're another one of my *favorite* bands ever, same with *Fear Factory*), and - if I can get the money/means to do so, buy the *VIP meet-and-greet* package with Dope on their tour bus, *ESPECIALLY* as a multi-instrumentalist, "occasional vocalist," and *HUGE* metalhead going on for some 7-odd years now (I picked up my first guitar when I was *13* and I'm *20* years old now) myself ! Edsel just seems like such a chill, down-to-earth, friendly bloke, tbh! 🤘🤘🤘
Dope is an surreal band!
Underrated band
I didnt want this interview to end! I fucking love edsel!
This was a dope interview!
Ahhhh I see what you did there
ผมชอบวงพี่ว่ะ \M/ Dope
Even amongst metal heads, DOPE aint too well known, but at the same time everyone knows their music.... its weird.
Dope rulez baby
Why Felons and Revolutionaries isn’t on vinyl by now?!?
What a nice guy, all the other uptight artists can really take something from Edsel.
The problem with all digital is you run the risk of censorship or the content just getting removed entirely. Despite having already paid for it.
Interview rayna foss. Sooo many new hardcore bands are doing nu metal and have female members. I’d love to hear her perspective from those days being around all guys.
We’ll look into that. Thanx
Just heard new album it’s amazing
You connect with a super group of people yeah it's called everybody
watching this got me feeling old🤣 thinking "most of my favorite bands debuted when I was in Jr high and high school. wait, fuck, I graduated in '04!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
At least you graduated. 😂
Fuckin’ Dope!!!!!!!
Rapper: I'm Dope.
Edsel: Really?
Rapper: Yeah I am!
Edsel: Ok?...🤔 Then pass the weed, bailey's and the chocolate milk. 😄
Hard to believe Edsel is almost 50.
Ready player 1
don't kno this dude very cool
I think once the metaverse comes the next step is downloading your brain to it that's called "the singularity" this is mankind final creation a.i will do the rest after
We’ll see
Lol 😂
Is Ed missing his top teeth?
He’s not.
No
I’d argue his band has nothing to do with music. Dope is hot crap.
Bro that's not Edsel Dope
Yes it is lol wth are you talking about.
I love you Edsel!!!!
I've played shows with DOPE a few times. Last time was in a tiny bar. One way in. One way out. I was fresh out of rehab and sober. I waited outside the door hoping I'd see him. He walked out with a bag and I slowly followed him a few steps away from the people smoking so I wouldn't draw too much attention. I asked him for an autograph and he was super nice about it. He took a picture with me and a badass Ferrari looking type car with a very attractive woman was waiting for him. This was when he was still staying in Chicago and the show was in Rockford. Love ya Edsel.
