Live & Learn with Edsel Dope | Drinks With Johnny #125

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:    / @drinkswithjohnny   Explore even more Drinks With Johnny: Spotify: http://bit.ly/DWJSpotify​​​​​​ Apple: http://bit.ly/DWJApple​​​​​​ Instagram:   / drinkswithjohnny   Facebook:   / drinkswithjohnny   Twitter:   / drinkswjohnny​​​​​   Shop: https://www.drinkswithjohnny.com​ The official YouTube channel of Avenged Sevenfold’s Johnny Christ.
