JUSTIN THE JEW DRUMS
YO WITH 25 TA LIFE THATS HOW ITS BEEN ,AND I WILL DO THIS BAND AS LONG AS I STILL BELIEVE YA KNOW IM HAPPY THAT
ENOUGH PEOPLE LUV THE BAND AND BELIEVE IN IT ,AND WANT TO HELP ME CONTINUE TO KEEP THE MISSION ALIVE YA KNOW
, TO KEEP OUR SCENE ALIVE THE HC SCENE ,WE CAME FROM A DIFFERENT TIME YOU DOING BLOOD FOR BLOOD ,ME
DOING 25 TA LIFE STARTING LATE 92 WRITING LETTERS PHONE CALLS YOU HAD TO DIG DEEP IT WAS SPECIAL IF
YOU WERE INVOLVED IN HC ,U SEEN SOMEONE THEY HAD A T SHIRT IT WAS SPECIAL WHEN YOU SEEN SOMEONE WITH A CRO MAGS OR
WARZONE SHIRT YA KNOW OR A SLAPSHOT SHIRT OR VERBAL ASSAULT ,YOU KNEW THEY WERE INVOLVED IN THE
MUSIC TODAY HC IS AT THE MALLS, ITS SAD BUT TRUE ,I GUESS IT GOOD FOR THE BANDS TODAY
FOR EXPOSURE BUT I THINK HC PUNK IS HONEST AND REAL
A STREET MUSIC , HC GETS TRENDY,PEOPLE RIP IT OFF AND WHEN IT DIES DOWN LOTSA PEOPLE
DISAPPEAR ,IVE BEEN DOING 25 TA LIFE COMIN CORRECT NON STOP THRU THE RISE AND FALL WE HELPED BRING BACK THE
NYHC SCENE IN THE MID 90S ,THE EARLY 90S NYHC FELL OFF IT WAS DEAD DUE TO VIOLENCE GANGS KIDS BRINGIN KNIFES
AND GUNS TO SHOWS IT WAS A CRAZY TIME YO HC CAME BACK IN MID 90S WE WERE ONE OF THE MAIN PLAYERS IN THAT ,IT SUCKS BUT I
GOTTA CREDIT MYSELF WATCH THE NYHC VIDEO DOCUMENTARY NOW DVD YO
YOULL SEE WHATS UP ,BOTTOM LINE I LOVE NYHC AND THE WORLDWIDE HC SCENE HC DIED OUT
EARLY 2000 AND 2001 AGAIN
BUT IN NY I THINK ITS COMIN BACK STRONG NY BOSTON THEY STILL PLAY BIG PARTS IN HC BUT HC IS WORLDWIDE
NOW YO BOTH SCENES HAVE SUCH A RICH HISTORY BOSTON WITH JERRY KIDS SSD DYS GANG GREEN SLAPSHOT.
NYHC WITH CRO MAGS AF ABUSED ANTIDOTE THE MOB URBAN WASTE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
Has the internet helped or hurt bands like 25talife?
BOTH BUT I ALWAYS STAY ON THE POSITIVE SIDE,I MEAN THE INTERNET IS AN AMAZING THING YOU CAN
REACH KIDS IN JAPAN ,ALL ACROSS EUROPE EASTERN EUROPE IN SECONDS I USTA HAFTA WAIT
MONTHES SOMETIMES TO GET LETTERS BACK ITS AMAZING MYSPACE IS AMAZING BUT LIKE EVERYTHING
PEOPLE ABUSE THINGS ,IF YOU USE IT FOR THE RIGHT THINGS ITS AMAZING LIKE ANYTHING YOU HAFTA
WORK THE TOOLS ARE THERE LOTSA PEOPLE ARE LAZY PEOPLE WANT THINGS HANDED TO THEM THEY WANT TO BE
NUMBER ONE
THAT NUMBER ONE SPOT ,I COULD CARE LESS WHEN WE PLAY SHOWS TO 1000,500,200 10 50 KIDS
OR 5 OR 15 ,I DO THIS CAUSE ITS MY RELEASE I SAY WHAT I WANT WHAT I BELIEVE ITS MY DEDICATION I KNOW WHAT I
BELIEVE I KNOW WHAT I PUT INTO THIS AND WHY ,AND WHERE MY HEART WAS MY MAIN THING IS GIVING BACK TO THE
MUSIC TO GAVE ME HOPE, GAVE ME A WAY OUT ,SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
Has anyone ever made sense out of any of your myspace bulletins?OF COURSE
YES ,PEOPLE SUPPORT ME,SOME LOVE ME , SOME RESPECT ME ,SOME HATE
ME, SOME DESPISE ME,SOME COULD GIVE 2 SHITS YA KNOW , LIKE YOURSELF MIKE YOU SUPPORT ME
,PEOPLE SEE MY DEDICATION ,MY DETERMINATION ,IVE PAID DUES AFTER DUES PEOPLE
DONT UNDERSTAND THAT I DO THIS WITH A PASSION A COMMITMENT HARDCORE IS ABOUT TAKIN
CONTROL DOING IT YOUR OWN WAY LEARNING FROM MISTAKES THATS LIFE IVE MADE LOTSA
MISTAKES,IM NOT PERFECT BUT IN LIFE WHO IS , I WOULDNT CHANGE ANYTHING IN MY LIFE
NOTHING CAUSE ITS WHO I AM THOSE THINGS IVE DONE GOOD OR BAD I HOLD LIKE A BADGE OF HONOR ..

Was I being dissed? Because that shit went way over my head.
What I read was he is old and washed up and the interview never even happened. Right? RTL someone needs to seriously document this dudes decline. It
could make for a very shitty movie.

Interview from a few years back, but still worth reading.
