On this episode of the Adventures of Pipeman, Pipeman speaks to Sean Smith of The Blackout and Sappenin' podcast, as well as Uncle Raiders. The conversation starts with some banter about Sean's lesser-known band, Uncle Raiders, and his stylish sunglasses. They discuss The Blackout's reunion and how it came about after the band split up eight years ago. Sean shares that the other band members had children, and the band decided to do more shows while their fan base was still active. They successfully organized a reunion show and even did a warm-up show in their hometown, which sold out in just 53 seconds.

Pipeman and Sean talk about their experiences with other bands in the industry. They mention how some well-known bands, like Metallica and My Chemical Romance, are surprisingly down-to-earth and humble. They also discuss the dynamic of ego in the music industry and how some bands with moderate success can develop inflated egos, while others remain grounded. Sean shares anecdotes about his interactions with bands like Sum 41 and New Found Glory, emphasizing that even famous musicians are just regular people.

The conversation takes an interesting turn when they discuss My Chemical Romance's reunion show and its significance as one of the first major gigs in the UK after the COVID-19 pandemic. Sean highlights the cultural impact of the event and how it brought communities of fans together. They also reflect on the importance of live music and its ability to create memorable experiences for both fans and artists.
