In the latest episode of We Were Loud Once, Jeff tells Bobby Burns just how inspirational it is to see him back onstage and touring with Primer 55 again.

After facing serious health issues, Bobby was finally given the green light to get back out there. Rather than slowing down, he decided to live life to the fullest, reunite Primer 55, and bring the music back to the fans who never stopped supporting the band.

Overcoming everything he went through and choosing to return to the road makes this chapter of Primer 55 even more meaningful. Bobby’s story is a powerful reminder to make the most of every opportunity and keep doing what you love while you still can.

In the latest episode of We Were Loud Once, Bobby Burns talks about Primer 55 hitting the road this fall for the Shattered Schemes, Broken Dreams Tour.

One thing we have always appreciated about Primer 55 is that they do not limit their tours to the major cities on the East and West Coasts. They consistently make sure the Midwest is represented and give fans throughout the heart of the country a chance to experience Primer 55 live.

Bobby talks about the upcoming tour, the importance of reaching fans in every part of the country, and why the Midwest continues to be an important part of Primer 55’s touring plans.

Keep an eye out for the Shattered Schemes, Broken Dreams Tour coming this fall!

In the latest episode of We Were Loud Once, Jeff, Dan, and Bobby Burns take a trip down memory lane to talk about Omaha’s legendary Ranch Bowl. The Ranch Bowl was much more than a concert venue. It was a special place where fans could see some of the biggest bands in rock and metal while creating memories that would last a lifetime. Unfortunately, the venue eventually closed, the building was bulldozed, and a Walmart was built where this legendary piece of Omaha music history once stood.

For those of us who experienced the Ranch Bowl, driving past that location will never feel quite right. What are some of your favorite memories from the Ranch Bowl?

In the latest episode of We Were Loud Once, Jeff, Dan, and Bobby Burns talk about the incredible energy Donny “The DRP” Polinske brings to Primer 55’s live shows.

Donny attacks every performance like he still has the energy of a teenager, constantly moving, engaging the crowd, and making sure the fans are completely involved in the show.

That kind of energy is a huge part of what makes the current Primer 55 lineup so exciting to see live. After all these years, Donny is still giving everything he has every time he steps onto the stage. Not to mention Bobby, Preston, and Joshua thrown down, just to make sure the fans walk away with an experience of a lifetime!

In the latest episode of We Were Loud Once, Bobby Burns shares how what was supposed to be one week filling in with Soulfly completely changed the direction of his career.

Soulfly’s bass player Marcelo "Cello" Dias needed to step away from the tour to be with his wife for the birth of their child, so Bobby was invited to temporarily take his place. That one week turned into months, the months turned into years, and Bobby ultimately appeared on four Soulfly albums.

Hear Bobby explain how the opportunity came together and how a short-term favor became a major chapter in his life and career.

In the latest episode of We Were Loud Once, Dan tells Bobby Burns how much he loved the horn section featured on Primer 55’s album, The New Release.

A full horn section is probably one of the last things you would expect to hear on a heavy rap-rock record, but Primer 55 found a way to make it fit perfectly without losing the aggression or identity of the band.

Bobby shares how the idea came together, how the horns were incorporated into the songs, and what was happening behind the scenes while the album was being created.

It was one of our favorite parts of the conversation and another example of just how creative and ahead of the curve Primer 55 really was.

In the latest episode of We Were Loud Once, Bobby Burns talks about the incredible response Primer 55 has received since returning to the road.

Bobby describes the experience as “magical,” with packed shows, longtime fans coming back, and a new generation discovering the band for the first time.

As special as the early days were, Bobby says seeing this kind of support today feels even more meaningful than when Primer 55 first started back in 1997.

After all these years, Primer 55 is not only back, the band may be connecting with fans more strongly than ever.

In the latest episode of We Were Loud Once, Dan tells Bobby Burns how much he respects the way Primer 55 continues to connect with its fans after the show.

Rather than charging fans for an expensive VIP experience, Bobby and the band make a point to come out, meet everyone, take pictures, sign items, and spend time with the people who continue to support Primer 55.

For Bobby, meeting the fans is not an extra package you should have to purchase. It is simply part of the experience and a way to show appreciation to the people who have kept the band alive.

In the latest episode of We Were Loud Once, Bobby Burns shares one of the craziest Primer 55 stories we have ever heard, a high-speed chase through the streets of Omaha, Nebraska.

After a chaotic situation where a fight ensued, Donny took off. Bobby jumped into the band’s van, trailer still attached, and tore after him through the city.

A van, a trailer, residential neighborhoods, and two members of Primer 55 chasing each other through Omaha, what could possibly go wrong?

Hear Bobby tell the entire story, along with many more unbelievable moments from the history of Primer 55.
