The music creeps. The greatest podcast ever in
the history of mankind. Just kidding. Your mama's
so fat, she uses Google Earth to take a selfie.
Yay, it's working. All right. Slow computer stuff.
We're going. All right. Wait. Okay, all right.
One of these days I'm going to hit my head. Well,
I see you pick that up. I'm like, oh, he did
figure out something. You know, one of these
days you're going to run out of stuff. I am.
So I'll just start hitting myself. Hey, I like
a buzzer. Get like little noises on your phone.
Oh, I like to do that, yeah. A little bass. The
more annoying, the better. Yeah, yes. I got access
to that, no problem. All right. See, put my readers
on on you. All right, we are the Music Creeps,
like we said. Yes, we is. So while we were not
doing a Music Creeps, we got together and discussed
about bands' names, if you mismatched their names,
and what you came up with. And we have some interesting
ones. You want to start off, Topher? Yeah. Oh,
I remembered one that I forgot to write down.
That's probably me. I like had them all typed
up and then I got all this handwriting too. It's
like, oh yeah. So anyway, the first one I've
got is, it's my favorite. It's the one my wife
came up with. Oh. Corn bread. I love that. Is
it spelled with a K? Corn with a K. Corn bread.
Corn bread. I love that. Oh. I can't stop laughing
about that one. I would love to see, like, you
know one of those tribute bands for corn? Come
up with cornbread. Or corn -ee. Corn -pone. Oh,
okay. Or like, I think in Nebraska there's a
place called Corn Palace. Oh, that's in, yeah,
South Dakota. Oh, South Dakota, yeah. Mitchell,
South Dakota has the Corn Palace. Yeah, yeah,
or they could call themselves Corn Palace, unless
there's a copyright. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
All right. Okay, my first one was Cheap Theater.
I like that one. Yes, I do too. Because, of course,
Dream Theater and Cheap Trick. Yeah, Cheap Trick
would lend itself well to that. Yes, it would.
I came up with Limp Floyd. That one is really
good. Per Floyd. He gets exploited. He needs
a little blue pill. Yes, he does. My next one
is, how about guns and pilots? Now that's a combo
you don't want to be flying with. No, no, no.
You don't want them to open up for you. For a
band name, that'd be awesome. You do not want
them to open up for you. Or open up on you. Or
open up, yeah. Both. Well, we had Limp Floyd,
so let's go the other way and have Pink Biscuit.
Imagine what the album cover is gonna look like
if your band is called paint biscuit Yeah, okay
Whatever it looks like it's gonna have a bunch
of singles stuffed in it. Yeah You that's why
I don't like touching $1 bills. No, I know what
guys use them for. Yes Okay One of the things
up in Canada, they call them peelers, and I used
to go to Canada all the time until COVID interrupted
it. I have relatives up there. You put the dollar
bill in your mouth so the stripper will come
over and take it, but not with her mouth. Take
it out of your mouth. With her butt cheeks? Yes.
Oh. Yes. So, all right. Moving right along there.
My next one is living white snake. As opposed
to a dead one. So living color and white snake?
Yes. But, oh, the whole point of that last one
was it's not that they take the dollar out of
your mouth. The dollar's in your mouth. Yeah.
That's the whole point. Yeah. And also you have
an ass cheek in your face. Yeah, I guess if you're
willing to have some stranger's ass cheeks in
your face, then you probably don't care about
putting a filthy dollar bill in your mouth anyway.
Probably not. And also I want it known. I did
not partake in this. I witnessed people partaking
in this. Now that would be the fun part is to
watch other people do it and go, eww. Too bad
we didn't have video phones back then. I'd have
a lot of material. I remember it was a band I
was in in the 90s. I won't say because I don't
want to get anyone in trouble. But there was
a local nightclub. It was back when they had
the topless. Juice bars. Yeah, yeah, I remember.
Yeah, you'd get orange juice or soda. Yeah, the
girls are naked or whatever. So the event was
some chick who was currently big in porn was
going to be there, and she was going to lay naked
on this table, and her boyfriend was spreading
ice cream all over her. And for $20, they'd give
you one of those little tiny Baskin -Robbins
spoons. And you can go up and scoop one little
spoonful of ice cream off of her anywhere you
want and eat it. And the singer of the band I
was in at the time went and got in line three
times. And he said just about everybody was scooping
the ice cream off of her vagina. That would be,
she's a porn star. Yeah. That would be the last
place I would take. I wouldn't do it in the first
place. But second. The wear and tear and the
stuff that went in there, no way. He said he
saw guys digging their spoon in there and they're
just licking, licking, licking, licking all over
him. Okay. You know, the husband's like, yeah,
I know what you're digging in. Yeah. He said
that guy was there just, you know, digging out
the ice cream and slapping it down. Sure. Sure.
You ever hear the term eat my fuck? Yeah, there
you go. That was pretty close to it. Yes. Oh,
nasty. Yeah, I don't know what else to say. Your
next one. Okay. Deep Heap. Deep Purple and Uriah
Heap. Uriah Heap. Which actually would be a pretty
good combo. Let's get ready to say them. I'd
love to hear that band together. Yeah, but Deep
Heap. That's not going to sell too many. This
next one might be my favorite of mine. i don't
know but five finger tool that you can take a
lot of different places wow i like that i do
too well i i had that same band only i came up
with stone temple death punch now that's mean
you want me to give you The Stone Temple Death
Punch. And then the WF crowd, WWE crowd goes
crazy. He's getting ready to do the Stone Temple
Death Punch. What? Oh, shit. Hang on, hang on.
Hang on, I'm getting popcorn. I'll be right there.
Freeze it. That's where you get. Well, I don't
even know any Five Feet and the Death Punch songs,
so I can't really make that up. They did a remake.
That's about the only one I know. I don't even
know that. Didn't they do a remake of Bad Company?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So they come out like
Bad Plush. Yeah. Or Creep Company. Creep Company.
There we go. Yeah, that was on that video. It
said, you know, 10 songs that you don't know
are actually covers. Well, I knew all of them
because I'm old. I was around when the originals
came out. That's what I always thought, too.
I'm like, you didn't know, and then I think about
it and go. The same reason you tell people to
Google what you're saying. Yeah. It's like, look,
a lot of you people will not get it. Google it.
You'll get it. So, all right. The next one I
have is. Morbid Ministry. Don't ask what that
ministry does. Yeah. But it's not good. Here's
one that's fun. Foo Crew. Dave Grohl and Mick
Mars. Foo Crew. Oh, that would be cool. That's
another one I like. I introduced you to the song
that Dave Grohl and Tony Iommi did, right? It's
a good song, right? Goodbye Lament, very good
song. It was overlooked because of the time that
it came out. This would be one of those deals
where the people that were like, oh yeah, they
would like it and everyone else wouldn't even
know about it. So the next one I got is Deep
Cinderella. Don't ask her how she got the deep
name. I'm not going to go there. I don't know.
How about Elton and the Blowfish? No wonder Elton
toured with him. Yeah. I did see an article yesterday
about Elton John, and the headline tried to make
it sound like he's on his deathbed. Oh, yeah,
one of those clickbaits. Yeah, it said, Elton
John admits he's nearing the end of his life
and makes decisions about, well. you read the
article and it's like, yeah, I know I'm old and
I'm closer to the end of my life than the beginning
and it's time to start doing some of these things.
I've given up touring. So the whole thing is
trying to make you think he's about to die. Yeah,
when actually he's just old. What smart people
do. Yeah, he's planning for his eventual death.
Yeah. So now that he doesn't buy $30 ,000 worth
of flowers anymore a day, he's financially okay.
Yeah. The next one I got is, Lamb roses. Now,
what are lamb roses? I don't know, but we have
them right here. Yeah, so here, get your lamb
roses here. Three for a buck. Three for a buck,
lamb roses. How about pearl pumpkins? That's
about the same thing. Eddie Vedder and Billy
Corgan. Oh. You get Marble Mouth, Eddie Vedder
singing in his Marble Mouth. I see Billy Corgan
beating the shit out of him the second day. Pompous
little bitch. He'd like throat punch him, throw
him on the ground, and then turn his head around
and curb stomp him. From all the things I've
heard, Eddie Vedder is just kind of your average,
typical guy, and he's not really all that nice
a guy. But he maintains the image of the tortured
poet with the social conscience on it. It's image.
It's all image to sell. And most of those people
are blowhards anyhow. But also, what else happened
is, he got an oil check administered too. Yeah,
Eddie better got an oil check administered after
the throat punch, the curb stomp. Then he got
his oil checked by Billy Corgan. What a day.
Wow. Man, you look a little beat up there, Eddie.
What happened? I don't want to talk about it.
Why are you walking funny? You chafed. I don't
want to talk about it. Okay, Eddie. Go take your
shower. All right, next one. I already said this
one to you personally. Black foreigner. That
is so good. That is horrible. That's just such
a wrong name. It is. You can see like a whole
southern woman. Watch out for that black foreigner
over there. That reminds me. When I worked at
the Postal Service, whenever there would be icy
conditions, they would say, you know, everybody
watch out for black ice. And we had one carrier.
I can see where that could go. He was Jamaican,
and he didn't quite understand. He's like, why
do they keep telling us to watch out for black
guys? He's like. Why are you telling, what's
wrong with black guys? No, black ice. I want
someone to jump up and go, no, that's African
American ice. I actually did that. The guy who
was casing next to me, Hugh, he was also Jamaican,
but he completely lost his accent. Oh, wow. And
the bosses started talking about, everybody watch
out for black ice. And I'd just lean over to
Hugh and say, how come it's got to be black?
And he'd go, yeah, why's it got to be black ice,
man? Did he do that? He did. Top of his lungs.
Same thing with Black Friday. I said, hey, Hugh,
how come it's going to be black? Yeah, why is
it going to be Black Friday? Because this is
the day people stalk people to death. That's
why. Anytime anybody in management said the word
black, I would prompt Hugh and he'd stand up
and yell. I love it. And then we'd both laugh
our asses off. Yeah. It shows you how absurd
some things are. I mean, you know, it's so. Well,
watch out for black guys. I've never even thought
about that. Someone who didn't understand the
language that much would be like, what the fuck
did we do? And he's like looking around at all
the other black carriers like, how come you're
not offended by this? You guys don't care. That
poor guy. I'm glad you were there to explain
it. And you know, it's not even black ice. It's
clear. Yeah, it is. There's nothing black about
it. It's on black top. That's why they call it
that, and you can't see it. People use the term
black to mean mysterious or unknown, and then
everyone presumes that means, oh, it's colored
black. No, you're not going to see it, but it
should be called clear or transparent ice or
something. Unnoticeable, undetectable ice until
you're on it. Yeah, stealth ice. Stealth ice,
yeah, there we go, that's it. Cliff Burton ice.
No, it's not. No, that's still that taste. Next
band I have is the Radiohead Chili Peppers. That
is good. They could keep the same initials. R
-H -C -P. Radiohead Chili Peppers. I would love
for a band just to come out. Maybe just for one
day with that name. Yeah. Who was it? The Radiohead
Chili Peppers. All right. Next one. Lead cars.
And that would suck. That would. Everyone's getting
sick in their car. Oh, man. Gosh. Or like the
old union rule, if you had what they call lead
fever, and that's where, you know, it's in brass,
you're working with brass, and you get to feeling
sickly and like you have to puke and run down.
That's lead fever is what they call it. They
have to offer you a glass of milk. So, you know,
someone gets in a lead car and they're like,
oh my God, I don't feel so good. Hang on, hang
on, let me get you your glass of milk. Yeah.
I don't know what milk does. They probably have
to use lead gasoline too. Oh, I guess so, yeah.
That's right. All right. I've got puddle of cream.
Oh! Oh, I love that. Oh, Wes Gantlin went to
jail again for some sort of domestic violence.
Yeah, that guy can't keep out of trouble. No,
no, no. Puddle of Cream, that's about what they
sound like, too. Yeah. Muddle of Pud is one of
my favorites. I heard that, and I've never quit
calling them that. There was a time in the 90s
where Puddle of Mud was playing all over town,
and for some reason, my band just seemed to follow
them. It's like every week, people tell us, oh,
yeah, Puddle of Mud was here last week. It's
like, okay, somehow we got booked right after
them for like four dates in a row. Oh. And that
would suck because they're huge in Kansas City.
I mean, they did have a good career, but actually
it was only West Gatlin. Yeah. The record company
made them get rid of everybody else. Yeah, they
all went out to California and then... Only one
stayed. Only one stayed. The rest of them came
back. So that's the story, at least. They said
it's the record company. Who knows what happened.
So, all right. How about Lizzie Van Halen? I
like that. See, Lizzie Borden come out in high
kick. That's if you're doing Lizzie, or you could
do Lizzie Hale, too, because she is a solo artist
also. That's true. Or you could do Izzy Van Halen,
and that's Izzy Stradlin coming out high kick
and going, you might as well jump. Jump. Go ahead
and jump. Oh, hey, who is that? Hey, how you
been? Okay, go ahead. Excuse me. Let me just
check that off. The last one I have. Four non
-shares. Which everyone's pretty thankful for.
Yeah. I've got a bunch more, so. Hit me. I went
nuts on them. Next one I have is Ice Cream. That's
good. Their logo could be like the Curly Q, the
old Dairy Queen Curly Q. Remember when they used
to do the ice cream cones and they'd have to
do the Curly Q, otherwise they'd throw it away
or give it to someone? Yeah. So, yeah, they could
be the Curly Q. The next one would be Vanilla
Cream. Oh, yeah. Vanilla Cream. Yeah. Boy, Cream
is good. That lends itself really well. Yeah,
it lends it. Yeah. The next one would be the
very odd band that formed for Low Island and
went nowhere, Ronnie James Priest. Wow, that
would be bad. Yeah, you know, the thing is he
fucked up on Holy Diver. The priest part of it
really hated it. They're like, man, I don't know
about that. You're throwing me in a lake with
chains on. I don't know about that. It's a metaphor.
I don't know. Get a lot of hostility, man. I
don't like it. I don't care if it's a metaphor.
I don't like it. What is a metaphor? Yeah, yeah.
I don't know what a meta is for. I know what
a meta is, and it kind of sucks. Yeah, isn't
that Zuckerberg's thing? Yeah, four of them.
I don't know. I don't like it. Get out of here.
Get out of here. All right, the next one would
be Black Fudge. That's good. Yeah, yeah, another
one. The cool thing is with Black Sabbath, you
can take it, or Black Flag, you can take that
in a lot of different places. That's true. That's
true. And the next one. And this is also the
same deep purple you can use in deep fudge. You
can take that however you want. I'm not going
to. And after that, who doesn't love a good Boston
cream? Oh, that's a good one. Oh, that's a perfect
one. Oh, yeah. A big keg of deliciousness there.
But let's not forget the Red Hot Elvis's. That's
pretty good. Chili pepper. Elvis with a funk
beat. That would be odd. See Flea over there
in his fucking whitey tights. Now there is Dread
Zeppelin. You heard of them? Yes, yes, yes. I
love them, actually. They do Led Zeppelin songs
in a reggae style, and their singer is an Elvis
impersonator. I know. I don't think they're around
anymore, but they were really, really unique.
That was something else. I mean, is there one
band that people go, oh, Gwar or them? Gwar,
yeah. Yeah, Gwar. Or Green Jello. Yeah, they're
still around. Green Jello, yeah. They have to
call themselves Green Jelly because the people
who own the brand named Jello got pissy about
it. No, it's called Jelly. So if you have one
of the old albums, it's worth $2 instead of $0
.50. What they should have done is misspelled
the word jello. Yeah. That way it wouldn't have
been a trademark. Yeah, like Disney does with
the flags. Yes. All right. The next one, you
be rancid. That right there, you could use in
a lot of different forms to really disturb people.
Do you know what a UB40 is? No. Contraceptive,
isn't it? No, it's a form you fill out for unemployment
benefits. Oh, okay, I didn't know that. There's
a song by the Bengals going down to Liverpool.
It's like, hey, where are you going with that
UB40 in your hand? Oh, okay. I'm going down to
Liverpool and do nothing. Because he's going
on welfare. Or as Geezer Butler put it in his
book, because he's a musician, he used to have
to go on the dole. Yeah. All right, next one.
That's not Bob Dole. No, no. Bob Dole is the
ones that they put on the bananas. Yes. Yeah.
He owns all the banana, or he owned all the banana
plantations in the world. And pineapple. And
pineapple, too. But no upside -down ones. No.
Not that guy. No. All right. Next one. Rolling
Alice. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kick the shit out
of her. I don't know. I mean, rolling her, taking
her wallet. I mean, why would you want to do
that? I mean, what the hell? What did Alice do
to you? I guess she's drunk. You know, you roll
the drunk. Yeah, that's true. There we go. All
right. The next one would be the dead pumpkins.
Oh, I like that one. And that would be Halloween,
right? Oh, perfect Halloween, yeah. Look at all
those dead pumpkins everywhere. So, and then
I have two more. Next one would be counting beetles.
I count two. I only count two now. That is good.
Because it's spelled B -E -A, not B -E -E. So,
therefore, I count two of them. What about you?
I saw one, and it was a dung beetle. Okay. He's
rolling his little ball of poop. Yeah, I mean,
the Egyptians, you know, that's where they got
reincarnation from. Yep. I almost said carnation
milk. Carnation milk, yeah. Do you know how dung
beetles navigate? Uh -uh. Because they use their
hind legs to roll the ball of poop. Uh -huh.
So they're going backwards the whole time. It's
dark enough where they live that they look up
at the Milky Way. and they see the spine of the
Milky Way overhead, and they navigate by that.
Really? Yep. They look at the stars. And then
they roll themselves in shit and hibernate for
a little while, and then come out. They roll
that ball of poop back to their nest and feed
their babies with it. They navigate by the galaxy.
Yes. Wow. Who would have thought something that
simple? They realize that on cloudy nights, dung
beetles lose their way. Wow. Oh, I have an interesting
thing to tell you about the galaxy after you
give me your last one. And then finally, run
you too. I don't know what they're running from,
but they're kind of afraid of it. Probably running
from Bono because he's a giant turd. That's it.
He's going to preach to them. Everybody get out
of here. Bono's going to preach to us. Oh, shit.
Let's go. He's going to stand up and get indignant
and tell us how we're doing it all wrong. Yep.
Yep. You filthy. Pedestrians, I don't know. Filthy,
horrible, peasant, heathen Americans, and you're
all awful and evil, and you'd be giving all your
money to help the world, except Bono keeps all
of his money. Yes, and he flies and jet airplanes
everywhere. So he's the kind of guy who tells
everyone else what to do to be ethical and nice,
but he doesn't do it himself. He's one of these
people that I've always said, if you hate America
so much, give up your fortune and pay off the
national debt. Do something about it. Yeah, quit
coming over here and touring and taking our money
if you hate us so much. Yeah, if you love America
enough to hate us, then you do that. So until
then, shut the fuck up. Yeah, he just realized
he could get a lot of mileage out of pretending
to be concerned about the things he thought the
audience was probably concerned about, so he
pandered to whatever they wanted to hear. Yeah,
and they ate it up like baby birds. And he cashed
the checks, and he probably doesn't believe in
anything. I bet. From my experience, all the
blowhards like that, that's what they are. It's
kind of like a politician. Whatever's hot, they're
going to navigate to. Like if it's an abortion
issue, they're going to navigate to that. If
it's like, I don't know, the deportation issue
now, they all are navigating to that. Oh, the
trade. the trade wars going on, you know, the
tariffs. They're all navigating that. God put
in their two cents to make everyone polarized.
Kind of makes you wonder what they're distracting
us from. Yeah. What is going on that they're
shoving this in our face so we won't look elsewhere?
My experience is that's the only reason they
create a distraction is because they're getting
ready to pass something that's going to fuck
us. And they don't want any opposition at all.
So the media is like, hey, we have something
for you to do while we do this. Oh, okay, sure.
Any decent magician worth his paycheck will figure
out a way to distract you so you won't see him
doing the trick. Oh, yeah. All the time it's
like whether they fumble with something or they
explain something and they go, yeah, the reason
I'm doing this is because I've got this weird
tick. But really they're doing something while
they're telling you that and everyone's looking
at their hand talking about their weird tick,
which they don't have but they're pretending
to have. Just like Joe Cocker. Yes. Google it.
Hello. You were saying something. Oh, yeah. I'm
getting ready to go to something. The closest
galaxy to ours is the Andromeda Galaxy. And for
pretty much my lifetime, I've been told it's
this many light years away, but we're on a collision
course, and eventually the two galaxies will
collide. It's already happening. It has already
started. There are stars from the Andromeda Galaxy
that are already in the Milky Way and vice versa.
So the galaxies are already touching. Wow. So
the collision and the merging has begun. Now,
bad news for the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy
is about a thousand times bigger than us. Oh,
my God. So we're going to get sucked up and absorbed.
Hang on, hang on. Have you ever seen the movie
300? Yes. Okay, it's an actual story. For real.
Okay. That's true. You never know. We could nut
up and beat them. That's possible. We could trick
them. Now, I have seen simulations of how it's
going to happen when the two galaxies fully collide.
No stars are going to hit each other. They're
just too far apart. Okay. It's like... Just going
to be planets? Yeah. It's like one guy running
across the football field at the 40 -yard line
and the other person running across the field
at the 50 -yard line. They're not going to touch.
There's just too much space. However, gravity
is going to have an effect. Oh, that's going
to be cool. Here's the deal. What's so cool is
we're not going to be here because we already
destroyed ourselves. Yeah, this is going to be
millions and millions of years in the making.
It's going to take millions of years for the
two galaxies to collide and settle down. Yeah,
we're going to be nowhere to be found because
we're too stupid to survive long term. That is
pretty cool, though. In the simulation, it looked
like the... World's biggest giant splash. When
the two galaxies collide, the stars go flying
everywhere. And about 10 to 12 % of the stars
are going to get thrown completely out and just
won't be part of any galaxy anymore. Wow. They're
just sailing along through space all by themselves.
They get thrown out of the club. Yep. You, out.
Yep. I just ordered it. No, out. So our solar
system might wind up getting thrown out of the
new galaxy just by the gravitational forces,
and we go flying off in a random direction at
a very, very high rate of speed. You won't be
needing this anymore. Now, all the planets will
get dragged along with it. Yeah. And every single
constellation you know is going to change. They
will all change. So what is astrology going to
do then? Well, it won't be around because no
one's going to be observing it. But I thought
that was interesting is the Andromeda Galaxy
and the Milky Way Galaxy are already colliding.
Wow. That is interesting because I've always
heard that too, but I thought it was forever
and ever, not right now. I did too, but technology
for detecting these stars at the edges of the
galaxy has gotten a lot better, and we realize
the galaxy sticks out a lot farther than they
thought. So, yeah, they're touching. They're
past. Some dumbass. We're already merging. He
put it in reverse. Now he's going forward. He
did this two times. Can't figure out where to
park? I don't know. I couldn't figure out what
he was doing. Sorry. A little distracting. What
a dumbass. What a weirdo. You know, Richie Blackmore,
he suffered a heart attack. I heard that. Yeah.
They just came out with the news. It was about
a year and a half ago. He's got six stints, his
wife said. Candice Knight, who's been married
to Richie Blackmore for 17 years, but has been
together with the legendary Deep Purple and Rainbow
guitarist for 36, spoke to Don Osborne at Total
Rock about the possibility of Richie returning
to Europe in the not -too -distant future for
live shows with their long -running project,
Blackmore's Night. He says, as transcribed by
Blabbermouth .net, as far as flying anywhere
right now, Richie has actually been told by his
cardiologist not to get in a plane. He's had
a heart attack about a year and a half ago. He's
got six stents, and I can't believe he's going
to be 80 on April 14th, which is crazy because
he doesn't look it, he still doesn't act it,
but eventually medical things will wind up catching
up with you. That's true. That's true. So we've
got to keep him happy and healthy, but as of
right now, he lives up in the Northeast, and
that is where they live, and that's how come
every now and then Blackmore's Night, his group
now, who does Celtic music, They perform up there
a couple of times a year maybe. And I was always
wondering how come he always goes to New Jersey.
Well, this has been in the last year and a half
since he's toured a little bit since COVID. He
was just recently at his cardiologist. She said
that puts traveling by plane on hold. So hopefully
we'll get all that straightened out and it'll
change. But I'll let you guys know if it does.
That's another clickbait I saw yesterday. I already
knew Blackmore had a heart attack. But one story
yesterday was doing everything possible to make
it seem like it was happening right now. Some
big gushy headline showing Blackmore with a pained
expression on his face. Richie Blackmore suffers
a major massive heart attack. Everyone concerned.
I clicked on a different one though. So then
you click on it, and it's like, oh, well, this
was a long time ago, and it was the same one
I'd already heard about. Yeah. Yeah. So you've
got to be careful, because whatever you click
on, the AI is going to find more things just
like that for you, and most of them aren't going
to be true. Yeah, it'll duplicate bullshit. It'll
just come up with something. Man, I've got to
piss again. So the former Motley Crue and current
Dead Daisies frontman, John Karabi. who released
two standalone singles in the last four years.
He came out with 2021, Casa Bella, and then 2022,
Your Own Morstanomy, which is a pretty good song,
I've heard that one. Okay, he confirmed plans
to put out more solo music in the not -too -distant
future. I just signed another deal to do another
solo record, and he told, okay, it's one, I thought
it was two. He told The Rock Pit in a new interview,
and so my manager and I were talking about it.
And we were reminiscing and recapping. And it's
funny. We were kind of going through this list
on how many records I've done. I was just sitting
there going, fuck, I was looking at the records.
I just did with the Dead Daisies since 15. And
he's done four or five of them with him. And
then he had seven records before. So altogether,
he's done 20 records. And he said it didn't seem
like it. He thought he'd done like seven or eight
records. Yeah. How many records has Motley Crue
done? oh okay we're talking about like real music
like real uh -huh let's see okay um okay motley
crue too fast for love shout at the devil theater
of pain the theater of pain girls girls girls
doctor feel good doctor feel good um i forgot
the name of the next one um okay and then there
was uh saints of los angeles Hang on, I'll figure
this out. I'm just trying to figure out, did
Karabi have more albums than they do now? Oh,
I'm sure. Yeah, because I don't think Cruise
put out 20 albums. No, and I can tell you by
reading them how many it has changed. Discography.
Wow, there was something major cruising by just
then. Mötley Crüe discography. Okay, so... I'm
going to guess they have 13. You're probably
right, but it's not all. I'm going by new material
because that's what we got. Yeah, no greatest
hits, no live. Okay, studio albums, they have
nine. EPs, they have three. Live albums, three.
Compilation, eight. Singles, 31. Video albums,
nine. Music videos, 32. Yeah. Okay, here's the
studio albums. Too Fast for Love, Shout at the
Devil, Theater of Pain, Girls, Girls, Girls,
Dr. Feelgood. Motley Crue. Oh, it's a re -release.
Generation Swine. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Motley
Crue. It's the Karabi one. Yeah, the Karabi one.
Generation Swine. Their worst one. Yes. New Tattoo
was the one I couldn't think of. New Tattoo,
yeah. Saints of Los Angeles was their last studio
album. And that was, jeez, 15 years ago maybe?
Yeah. That was 2008. So. So let's see just the
studio new material here. It's one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Nine actual
new material. So if you look at new material,
Karabi has done over twice the amount. Yeah.
I'm thinking at last count, Alice Cooper put
out 27 studio albums. Oh, I can believe that.
He's got a lot. He put out one last year called
Road, and he's working on another one right now.
Okay. He's 77 years old, and he's still putting
out new material and touring with it. Wow. Here
comes that giant piece of shit again. Yep. Wow,
that's got to be hearing damage for the guy playing
it. God, I would think so. Just the guy pulling
it's got to be deaf after half an hour. Oh, shit,
yeah. Loud. Yeah. That's what you get when you
go out into a live location in public and do
your podcast. That's right. I know. I was going
to say, you wouldn't have it any other way. Oh,
the benefits far outweigh the noise. Yeah. So,
anyhow, and you talk about quality material.
I would say probably six of those albums are
quality, six or seven, and the rest are garbage.
Yeah. I mean, because New Tattoo was garbage.
Saints of Los Angeles was okay. Generation Swine
was crap. Yeah. Really, anything after Karabi
was garbage. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. So,
you know, let's face it. If it wasn't for the
record company, they would have stuck with Karabi
because they loved him, just loved him. I think
he was a really good songwriter, too. Yeah, he
was. Yeah, and he fit really good with the band
because his guitar accompanying Mick Mars was
a really good sound. Yeah, they'd never had a
rhythm guitarist in the band before, had they?
No, uh -uh. And I'm not so sure that Mick didn't
get a lot of rhythm on that either. I mean, because
he is, basically. He is a really good rhythm.
Okay. The fish story from Led Zeppelin. Oh. We've
all heard about that. Yep. Okay. This is what
I got here. Yes, the fish story involving Led
Zeppelin, a mud shark, and a groupie is well
known. Although controversial tale. And it's
generally accepted that it happened, though the
details vary. Yeah. Here's a breakdown of the
story. The incident. In 1969, during a tour with
Vanilla Fudge, Led Zeppelin and Vanilla Fudge
roads managers, Cole. Richard Cole from Led Zeppelin
and Bruce Wayne, I'm not kidding you, from the
Hell of Fudge, caught mud sharks and red snappers
while fishing from the waterfront room at the
Edgewater Inn Hotel in Seattle, which is actually
on the ocean. The Beatles were staying there
because the groupies could get to them and they
all took boats. The groupie, a 17 -year -old
groupie named Jackie, was present in John Paul
Jones' room. where the fish were brought, along
with Carmine Apice, you don't go by Apice, Vanilla
Fudge Drummer, and others. The allegents then,
according to the New York Post, the groupie was
allegedly molested with a fish, though details
are controversial and the story has evolved over
time. The variations in the story are this. Some
accounts suggest that only Vanilla Fudge members
were involved, while others claim that John Bonham,
who ends up with Drummer, was also present, though
his involvement... is questionable the aftermath
the band was banned from the edgewater hotel
after the incident the hotel was destroyed by
the band it's still there though yeah they rebuilt
it the aftermath uh the band was uh the band
was banned from ed watch Ed's Water Hotel, Carmine
Apice's account, or Apice, Carmine Apice, drummer
for Vanilla Fudge, has written about the incident
in his book, and he claims that the girl in question
was a groupie who had tagged along with him.
Mark Stein's role, the keyboardist for Vanilla
Fudge, claimed to have filmed the encounter,
but he said the film has said it had been lost
or destroyed. I bet. It was probably incriminating
as hell. I bet. Redemptive postscript. A piece
has stated that he later heard from the woman
who claimed to have moved to Alaska, raised a
family, and lived happily ever after, which sounds
like a story to me. She's probably ruined and
ended up on Skid Row fucking Jack and Heroin.
I remember Frank Zapper wrote a song called Mud
Shark, and he mentions Vanilla Fudge, but he
doesn't mention Led Zeppelin. Yeah, so Zappa
knows all about it, or knew all about it, and
wrote a sarcastic song about mud sharks. Well,
I mean, it's a well -known incident. I mean,
it really is. It's like, it's common knowledge,
but it sounds to me like Zeppelin didn't have
anything to do with it. I think it was all vanilla
fudge, yeah. Yeah, but Zeppelin got the, well,
Zeppelin was the more controversial band, so
I'm pretty sure they're like... Led Zeppelin
did this. Yeah, I think Vanilla Fudge is the
one that inserted the fish into this poor young
woman in various orifices of her body, but Led
Zeppelin's the one that trashed the hotel afterwards.
Yeah, so Led Zeppelin got the whole... They got
the whole load, but Vanilla Fudge is the creeps
that wanted to stick a fish in this poor young
girl. How about the young girl is like, sure.
And, you know, the waters right off the coast
in Seattle, they ain't all that clean. No, no.
So you're taking this nasty, dirty, diseased
fish and you're inserting it? Yeah, I know. Oh,
that's nasty. Yeah, that's, yeah. You know, I
hope I am never that bored that I have to resort
to something like that just to entertain myself.
Yeah, I agree. I hope to God I'm never that bored.
That's just bad. That's all I've had. I didn't
have much time with music creeps this week. Yep.
You got anything you want to go into? I'm trying
to remember if I've read up on anything or heard
anything as of late, but I'm blanking. Okay,
let me see if I can go to something here. Let
me go to the good old intranets. The wrong tronet.
Yeah, yeah. Liarnet. What's new in rock music?
Let's see what we have. What's new in rock music?
Okay, hey, modern rock. This is a common commercial
radio format that focuses on alternative rock
music, often stating that hardcore punk with
hardcore punk and expanding to include alternative
rock since the 1980s. An alternative rock station.
This genre is characterized by its departure
from the mainstream rock sound, often incorporating
elements of punk, grunge, and other sub -genres.
Indie rock. This genre is known for its DIY...
ethos, and often features bands that are not
signed to major record labels. So independent.
Hard rock. This genre is characterized by its
heavier, more aggressive sound, often featuring
distorted guitars and powerful vocals. Okay,
examples of new rock artists. Greta Van Fleet,
The 1975, Royal Blood, Foals, F -O -A -L -S,
Don Rocco. Wet Leg. I don't know any of these.
Inhaler. The Lathams. Machine Gun Kelly. The
Bobitos. Sea Girls. Dorothy. Meet Me at the After.
And Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones is
good. I like him a lot. He's heavy. Songs in
New Rock. The Caught Casualty by the Dead Pioneers.
Fantasy by Scowl. Scowl, that's a good name.
I know, isn't it? Blockage by Pigs, Pigs, Pigs,
Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs. New World Julie from
Dean Warnham. Freefall by Daughtry. That would
be Chris Daughtry of American Idol, maybe. Coherence
by Santana. Okay. People Watching by Sam Fender.
It's Amaze Me Young by The Fountains, D .C. Gods
of Rock and Roll by Billy Morrison, who works
with Ozzy a lot. Your House Inhaler, 365 by Shinedown.
Model Train Town by Petty USA. Even If It Kills
Me, Papa Roach. Mayday, Three Days Grace. Perfect
Soul, Spirit Box. New Way Out, Poppy. Good Things
to Come, Linkin Park. Linkin Park. Over each
other, Linkin Park and stained Linkin Park. So
Linkin Park had a bunch out. Yeah. You got anything
you come up with? I heard that the lawsuit between
Gibson guitars and Dean guitars is back on. Dean
has been copying some Gibson body styles. for
years and years, and Gibson has been telling
him to knock it off. They've been going back
and forth, been kind of reaching agreements,
but apparently the lawsuit is back on. And the
last thing I saw yesterday said that Gibson had
won. Really, they did? Dean Guitars is going
to get a cease and desist to stop making guitars
that look like Gibson's, like Les Pauls and SG's
and Flying B's. Isn't a lot of the damage done,
though? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It
took so long. They already got to produce so
many of them. Now, do they have to pay damages
at all? I don't know. I'll have to hear about
that. I'm thinking one of the incentives for
Gibson to go ahead and get this settled is that
other guitar manufacturers were going to start
copying as well because they're thinking if you're
not going to stop being, you're not going to
stop us. You know, you're right. It's not so
much what happened as what could happen in the
future. Well, Gibson is, who owns them now? God,
I can't remember who owns the Gibson brand now,
but I know that they own a lot of other brands.
Okay. Gibson owns Kramer and Mesa Boogie. Okay.
And Epiphone. Uh -huh. And KRK, which makes,
like, studio monitors and things. There's another
that they own. I can't think of right off the
top of my head, but those are all Gibson family
brands. Orville Gibson, the guy who started the
company, he died a long time ago, and I really
don't think the Gibson family has much in the
way of direction of the company. I don't think
they give a shit at all. So we'll see how Dean
has to change. In a lot of ways, Dean was making
affordable versions of Gibson. Yeah, they were,
and I enjoyed them because they were affordable
versions of Gibson that were decent, good guitars
for not nearly as much money. Yeah. So I think
that was a good market for them to have, but
I guess that's going to be over now. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. When I look over the Gibson website and
I pick out a guitar that I think I'd like to
have, it's usually around the $2 ,500 range.
Uh -huh. You can get a Dean for less than $1
,000 that's every bit as good. The Gibson will
be U .S. made. The Dean will probably be Chinese
made. But there are Chinese factories that are
making really good guitars now. No, I know they
are. Well, the Taurus, though. We'll see what
happens with the Taurus. That's true. That's
true. I'll have to check on that. Look, they're
going to get solved. Yeah. They're going to get
solved because each country needs each other
too much, whether they admit it or not. At the
end of everything, we all share this planet.
Yes. And they're going to get solved. And whether
you agree with what we're getting ripped off
or not, it's going to get solved. Keep in mind
everything's temporary. Yep. Because I could
tell you stories from 30, 40 years ago that everybody
said was going to be the end of the world and
the end of American civilization and the end
of our influence and blah. Eh, it didn't work.
It didn't, yeah. They were completely wrong.
Yeah, you're going to get all sorts of doomsayers.
Yeah. So keep that in mind. Yeah. You know, I
mean, and also what sells. Yeah, true. Yeah,
so. I've got something different here. Okay.
I was going to do this on the douches, but here
we go. Now, I have food wars every now and then.
Like, I was walking through Costco, and I was
walking through the produce section. I thought,
what would happen if that grape jumped up and
started trying to kick the shit out of that banana?
Who would win? So we called that food wars. Well,
I expanded it a little bit into other things.
So who would win between Bugs Bunny and Woody
Woodpecker? Oh, I think Bugs is smarter. You
think so? You think he'd outsmart him? He could
stay away from Woody Woodpecker pecking his head?
Yeah, I think Bugs Bunny could outsmart him.
Okay. Woody would have to be pretty fast to get
Bugs. Bugs would probably figure out something
to get him, yeah. Yeah. Okay. How about Fred
Flintstone versus Peter Griffin? Fred. Fred?
Yeah. You think so? A club? Yeah. He would have
a club and he would smack the shit out of Peter
Griffin. Stick his dinosaur on him. Yeah, Dino.
Dino the dinosaur. Or hell, he could have his
neighbor's son, Bam Bam, come over and pick Peter
Griffin up and throw him into Oklahoma. He'd
go, hey, Bam Bam, come here. He'd go, Bam Bam,
and knock the shit out of Peter Griffin. Go throw
this guy into orbit, will you? Good point. Okay,
so Peter Griffin's toast on that. How about a
palm tree versus an elm? tree see i think an
elm tree is a white trash tree yeah it would
pick up something to beat the shit out of the
palm tree it would find like a rock a big rock
in the middle of the yard yeah it would smack
the palm tree in the head and kill it yeah elm
trees are like crackhead strong yeah yeah yeah
there are two kinds of elm trees The ones that
are dying of Dutch elms disease and ones that
are going to die of Dutch elms disease. Yes.
That's pretty much the only kind of elm tree.
So they're already sick. They're already dying.
Don't have much to lose. Yeah, they'll pick up
a rock and just beat the hell out of the palm
tree. Besides that, palm trees are kind of snooty
anyhow. That's true. You know, yeah, they drink
Chardonnay and, you know. Did you know that all
of the palm trees in California are immigrants?
Yeah, actually I did know that. Yeah, palm trees
don't naturally grow there. They're all transplanted
from elsewhere. Yes, and they had to do desert
palms. They couldn't do real palms. Yeah, my
grandparents lived in Florida, and they're very
proud that they had actual native palms that
actually grew there because it was the right
climate instead of all the posers out in California.
How about Henry Blake versus Colonel Potter?
Oh, Potter would kick his ass. Potter would.
He'd go, come here, you lip son of a bitch. He'd
smack the piss out of him. Henry Blake also described
himself as pear -shaped. Yes. Colonel Potter
would fucking piss on him after he beat his ass.
Yeah. He'd be like, take this, you piece of crap.
And also, Henry Blake would start it, and Colonel
Potter would just beat the shit out of him. So,
how about Joanie from Happy Days versus Laverne
from Laverne and Shirley? Laverne. Laverne, yeah,
she's straight tough. Yeah, yeah. I think she'd
probably chew tobacco as a statement. As soon
as they get ready to fight, she'd take a big
wad of Redman and just start fucking chewing
on it, going, come on, bitch, you ready? Are
you really ready? She'd spit one right in her
face, then knock the piss out of Joni. Here's
a real tough one for you. Barney Fife from The
Andy Griffith Show. Yeah. And Potsy from Happy
Days. Oh, shit. Barney's got that revolver, but
he's only got one cartridge for it. And Potsy's
got maybe the Fonz. Okay, I'm going to say that
Potsy. Kotze's going to call the Fonz in, and
the Fonz is just going to go, he's going to stomp
and put his hand out, and then Barney Five's
going to run off. And shoot himself in the foot.
Yeah, I don't want no problems with you, Fonz.
I don't want no problems. Yep, I can see that.
And Fonz goes, well, there's the door, Barney.
I'm going out, and I'm going out. That's a good
one. I like that one. How about bagpipes versus
a saxophone? Oh. bagpipes because they're so
cumbersome and they twist around. Yeah, and Scottish
barbarians play bagpipes. Yeah, that's true.
So, saxophones are like the sexy instrument.
Yeah. Calm, docile. Yeah. Okay. How about Jim
Carrey versus Drew Carrey? Oh. The battle of
the Carreys. You know, at this point, I'm going
to go with Drew Carrey because Jim Carrey is
very much a pacifist. Oh, yeah. He's crackers
and crayons, too. Yeah. And also, Drew Carrey
lost all that weight. I think he'd be like nimble.
Yeah. Yeah, he'd probably high kick him just
to show he could. Yeah, I'd go with Drew Carrey.
Yeah, I would, too. Solidly, yeah. What about
Chick -fil -A versus Subway? Oh, gosh. I'm going
to have to go Chick -fil -A because they actually
serve food. Subway doesn't actually serve food.
It looks like food. It kind of smells like food,
but it's really not food. Yeah, Subway. I don't
know why anyone would eat at Subway, but whatever.
This one is for me only, and Rob wouldn't know
it either. Cohiba versus Amani Cristo. I think
Cohiba will win. They're both traditionally from
Cuba. Yeah. Which makes them a little tougher.
Yeah. But I think Cohiba has got that name. Yeah.
Plus Monte Cristo could also be a grilled sandwich.
Yeah, that's true. So that kind of takes away
a little seriousness. Yeah, yeah. They laugh
at him. Yeah. And this one you wouldn't know.
The two writers that write the most, Mitch versus
Clint, that write into the douchebags most, Mitch.
Because Clint hates us and Mitch loves us. Oh,
well, you've got to go with that. Yeah, Mitch
would beat the shit out of Clint. And then finally,
Home Depot versus Lowe's. Oh, yeah. Wow. I think
I'm going to go Home Depot. They've got better
colors. I think so, too. Yeah, the bold orange.
And also the name Lowe's just doesn't sound appealing.
It's like, hey, what's your name? Lowe's. But
Home Depot sounds great. Hey, what's your name?
Home Depot. Now, they will insist that it's not
Home Depot, it's The Home Depot. Oh, that's right.
When they're advertised, they insist everyone
use The. So I've started calling them The Home,
The Depot, The. The Depot, The. I like that better.
Yeah, because they like the word The in there,
so I'm going to say it three times. The Home,
The Depot, The. There we go. That'll work. All
right. If we have time left, I have a list of
songs that did not make it to number one, even
though you think they did. Okay. Number ten on
the list, Wonderwall by Oasis. Well, I could
have swore that was so big and played on every
station. It did. Yeah, for years. It peaked at
number eight. There must have been a lot of other
music out at the time. There probably was. On
the alternative charts, it made it to number
one. But that doesn't count. Boy bands were big,
I think, at that time. Yeah, that's true. So
new kids on the block probably trumped it, of
course. New men on the block and men to men and
backstreet men. Because there's nothing boys
about them. These were full -grown men who wanted
to rape your little girls. And the funny thing
is, that one's name was Joey Fatone, spelled
like fat one. Yeah. That was ironic. Yeah. Hey,
you want to smoke a fat one? No, his name is
Fatone. Yeah, yeah, get out of here. Okay, Mr.
Brightside by The Killers. Yeah. That only made
it to, where is it? Number 10. Peaked at number
ten in both U .S. and U .K. Could have sworn
that was much larger. Yeah. Okay. Number eight,
Bad Romance by Lady Gaga. Wow. That was huge.
That didn't make it to number one. Did not make
it to number one. Let's see where it peaked.
Peaked at number two. Almost made it. Almost.
Almost made it. Again, probably a lot of music
out during that time, and something was just
a little bit bigger. Yeah, it doesn't say who
beat it out. That's what I'd like to know, but
anyhow, that's okay. Okay, here's a Taylor Swift
song, Love Story. I don't know much about that.
I don't know that one. It peaked at number four,
but it was a blend of country and pop released
in 2008. I think I know which one that was. That's
the one that took her over to the other charts.
Yeah. Where she's pretty steadily at now, pop.
Yeah. But even though that only made it to number
four, Since then, she has become the only artist
to hold all ten top spots on the Billboard Hot
100. Wow. She has had ten through one. No one
else has ever done that. Wow. That's impressive
as hell. Maybe the most popular entertainer ever.
Maybe. Yeah, I think by the time she's done,
she's going to hold a lot of records. I think,
yeah. In like five or ten years, looking back
at her career, people are going to go, wow, we
didn't know it was this massive. But look at
what she accomplished. I want her to do a metal
song and hit number one. Wow, I don't know that.
Well, it would be easy to because metal songs,
there's not that many of them. And really, frankly,
horrible songs are making number one. Yeah, that's
true. That's true. Next up, we have number six,
Don't Speak by No Doubt. That's odd. That was
huge. That thing was played all the time. And
it also integrated to rock radio besides Alternative.
Yeah, yeah. Let's see, 1995. Sounds about right.
Yeah. But here's the thing about that. It was
never officially released as a single. It's just
radio stations started playing it. So it never
charted because it was never officially released
as a single. It just did really well on Airplay.
Yep. Okay. So we'll never know. It spent 16 weeks
as the most played song on radio. I believe that.
But it wasn't officially released, so oh well.
Okay. This one surprised me. Born in the USA,
Bruce Springsteen. Never made it to number one.
That's surprising. It barely made it into the
top ten, peaking at nine. Really? That's it.
Wow. Yeah. That probably wasn't even as big as
Ted. I don't think so. Although it would have
seemed like it because of radio play. And, you
know, it's ironic. It's often interpreted as
a very patriotic song and used for political
services. It is not. It's a protest song about
how crappily a Vietnam veteran was treated. Went
down to see the VA man. He said, son, you don't
understand. I went down to the refinery, son,
if it was up to me. Talking about how, yeah,
it's like no one wants you after you're a veteran.
Just get out of here. You're trash. I remember
at the time. Ronald Reagan said, we should make
this our new national anthem. It's so wonderful.
He was trying to jump on board and bandwagon,
trying to see hip. And then people started pointing
out the lyrics. Okay, here's what we have as
our national anthem. Here's the one you say you
want. And Reagan immediately backed off, just
pretending he never said it. Yeah. Open your
mouth. Stick your foot right in. Oops. Number
four, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Cool. Never
made it to number one. I knew that. It peaked
at nine on the Billboard Hot 100. It did hit
number one in the UK, but they're talking about
the Billboard Hot 100. It actually was more popular
after than it was during. True. That was because
of Wayne's World. And the album it came out on,
Night at the Opera, had... You're My Best Friend,
which is a massive hit. I'm In Love With My Car,
which was a minor hit. We had a couple other
ones, and Bohemian Rhapsody was not the first
hit. It wasn't the only hit off that album. And
also, I think that was one that wasn't a single
either, was it? It was released as a single.
Oh, it was? Okay, I didn't realize that. And
it was over six minutes long. It was really difficult
for the band to get them to release it as a single.
So Freddie Mercury went behind the labels back.
and took a copy to another radio station and
got him to start playing it, and then it just
got picked up all over the country. So fine,
the record label's like, all right, fine, we'll
release it as a single. Okay, that's what it
was. So it missed out on the first few weeks
of sales because it wasn't released yet. Oh,
wow. If they release it off the bat, it might
have made number one. Well, and also, whenever
you hear it nowadays, the DJ has to take a dump.
Yes. Although they prerecord everything. Yeah.
But back in the 70s, yeah, it was songs like
Stairway to Heaven, Free Bird, Highway Star,
you know, those big -ass long songs. They'd go
put one of those on, hit the bathroom, run up
to the roof, smoke half a joint, and come back
down and get back on for the... And the station
ID is always programmed in between the songs,
so they didn't have to be there for the station
ID either. That's true, that's true. Because
there's a law, I forgot how so often you have
to have the station ID to say, hey, this is whatever,
KY102, this is Q104, whatever. Yeah, otherwise
you lose your license. Yes. Next up, smells like
teen spirit. That's really surprising. Yep. Because
that's all that was playing for us. Oh, my gosh.
It peaked at number six. No, you know what? No,
no, no. Actually, I believe that. I believe that.
And the reason is because Grunge took a while
to get some traction. That's true. That's true.
The album was released in 91. Uh -huh. And hair
bands were still hanging on. Yeah. And, like,
Guns N' Roses kept the whole hard rock thing
going all the way through the Grunge. Yeah. Because
Guns N' Roses came out in, what, 89? 87. 87.
For Appetite. For Appetite. So they were before
the grunge, and they survived grunge just fine.
Yeah, and that's because they weren't glam. No.
They were dirt rock. Yeah. They were tough guys
who could play instruments. Yeah, and also they
didn't put out a lot of albums either, so they
kind of lingered as a lore. It's kind of like,
oh, yeah, there's this Guns N' Roses band somewhere.
So Smells Like Teen Spirit peaked at number six
on the Billboard. It did hit number one on the
alternate charts and in some other countries.
Okay. Sold 13 million units. Wow. That's pretty
good. That is. Number two, Don't Stop Believin'
by Journey. That's another one that came up huge.
Way later, and that was the ending, the famous
Fade to Black Sopranos episode. And it became
a hit then too, but I can believe that both times
it didn't hit number one. Because that was not
nearly the best song on that album. It was good,
but it wasn't the best. Album was their seventh
album in 1981. And Don't Stop Believing was the
very first track. So it was the first song everyone
heard when they put the album on. The album itself
reached number one, but the song only made it
to number nine. I believe that. I really do.
But you'd have to have been around and realized
that that album was so huge on every other facet.
It was enormous. And then number one, Thriller,
Michael Jackson. That's really surprising. Yep,
did not make it to number one for some reason.
Isn't that crazy? That is crazy. Came out in
the sixth album in 1982, the Thriller album.
Go ahead. The album itself is the best -selling
album of all time with over 500 million copies
sold. But the song itself peaked at number four.
I'll tell you why. Because of all the other hits
on it. Yeah. Didn't that have... I think that
had Beat It and Billie Jean. Billie Jean. Those
two were bigger than Thriller. Yeah. Thriller
was kind of like an ancillary song, actually,
really. Yeah, Thriller was fun for the video,
but to just listen to it by itself, it wasn't
as much fun as the other songs were. No, the
video with Vincent Price, I believe, was huge.
So, yeah, so that's one. Is that all of them?
That's ten. All righty, let's go ahead and wrap
this up, because Val has an appointment that
I've got to take her to. All righty. So, anyhow,
thanks for listening. Go fuck yourself. Oh, no.
Looks like the show's over, kids. Mark has explosive
diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic. Fear
not, assholes. They'll be back invading your
ear holes soon.
