Live & Learn with Edsel Dope

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 Become a FILTHY ANIMAL and get access to exclusive content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2qKyxOwoa_Uz5d5xCZEUPw/join Explore More Drinks With Johnny: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/drinkswithjohnny Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drinkswithjohnny Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drinkswithjohnny Twitter: https://twitter.com/drinkswjohnny​​​​ Shop: https://www.drinkswithjohnny.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Om Podcasten

After touring the world with Avenged Sevenfold for 20 years, Johnny Christ sits down to have conversations with some old friends, some new friends, and people of all different walks of life to hear the stories that shaped their lives and careers. The truth is, we never really know where these conversations are going to go. Sometimes we play a game for some less than thrilling penalties, get lost in the middle of LA, and even just kick back to celebrate a holiday or two.  Sometimes we drink, other times we don’t drink at all. From cocktails to health shakes, the drink is just a nice icebreaker to loosen up our guests for the wild ride they’re about to embark upon. Whatever it is you're looking for, we're sure to have it on the menu here at Drinks With Johnny. So stay tuned, stay thirsty, and stay FILTHY AF!
