![RPG Site: How did Grand Theft Auto V's High Pressure Dave happen then? Did Rockstar Games want to work with you again or did you pitch it?
John Famiglietti: We've stayed really great friends with the music department at Rockstar. A lot of people at Rockstar, we flew to their wedding, even dog sitting. I mean, like, we're friends. They are great dudes, and I see them whenever they come to LA, or we go to New York. Anyway, it was their idea. They wanted us to cover a legendary old LA band called The Units.
So the song by The Units is called High Pressure Days. We kept making this dumb joke while recording like 'Ha ha check it out, High Pressure Dave'... and we kept titling it High Pressure Dave. What if it's High Pressure Dave? They're like 'ha ha, very funny guys.' Then when the game comes out it's just High Pressure Dave. We're like 'what the fuck guys?!' and they're like 'you said High Pressure Dave - you like that?'
So it's a bit of a practical joke but it kind of works out hilariously because there's a character in GTA5 who's named Dave and he's pressuring your character so it's High Pressure Dave. It's so stupid. [laughs]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zuazc2mq4x2c7vkaduyashwr/bafkreibaijd6dphj56c6l7ka743ou5btxkymt44r2gldo5eskjdkeo64vm)
