WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.540
Hey, guess what? You just landed on the sports

00:00:03.540 --> 00:00:13.820
bastards. Sorry about your luck. Well, since

00:00:13.820 --> 00:00:16.480
the sports show can't be called two douchebags

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.980
with a microphone, maybe we could just call them

00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:48.820
the sports bastards. Okay. Bad enough, huh? Yeah,

00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:51.679
bad enough. Went from bad to worse. I loved it.

00:00:51.700 --> 00:00:55.280
It was great. We suck on purpose. Yes, we do.

00:00:58.539 --> 00:01:00.859
Okay. All right. You got something you want to

00:01:00.859 --> 00:01:07.140
go into? I've got my... Top 16 most expensive

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:09.439
guitars ever sold at auction. Oh, this will be

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.819
interesting. Yeah. All right. And if it's the

00:01:12.819 --> 00:01:15.420
same as the list I had before, then a number

00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:19.299
of these were owned by the same people. What

00:01:19.299 --> 00:01:22.939
I've got up first is Eric Clapton's Blackie Fender

00:01:22.939 --> 00:01:27.299
Stratocaster. It sold in New York in 2004 for

00:01:27.299 --> 00:01:31.980
$959 ,000. I'm surprised he named it Blackie.

00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:37.469
Not African -American -y. Or damn immigrant -y.

00:01:37.569 --> 00:01:42.730
Damn immigrant -y. Considering Eric Clapton's

00:01:42.730 --> 00:01:45.989
white supremacy views, you figured he'd only

00:01:45.989 --> 00:01:51.049
have white guitars. Allegedly. No, that's exactly

00:01:51.049 --> 00:01:55.189
what I was alluding to. Well, at the time, it

00:01:55.189 --> 00:01:57.230
was about the most expensive one ever sold, but

00:01:57.230 --> 00:02:03.780
now it's number 16. Oh, wow. He bought... The

00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:08.860
entire stock from a Nashville guitar store called

00:02:08.860 --> 00:02:12.680
Show Bud, because he really wanted a 1970 Stratocaster.

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.699
So he went through and picked them all out, and

00:02:15.699 --> 00:02:17.639
three of them he gave to his friends, George

00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.659
Harrison, Pete Townsend, and Steve Wynwood, and

00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:23.240
then assembled his ideal Strat from the rest.

00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.699
A 1956 body, a 1957 neck, and a third guitar's

00:02:28.699 --> 00:02:31.479
pickups, two from the 50s and one from 1970.

00:02:32.099 --> 00:02:34.949
Yay! And then he played at Ole Mix exclusively

00:02:34.949 --> 00:02:38.430
from 74 through 85. And by the end, the neck

00:02:38.430 --> 00:02:41.270
was so worn that the low E string hung off the

00:02:41.270 --> 00:02:47.830
edge. Wow. So he put it up for auction. Most

00:02:47.830 --> 00:02:49.789
of these times when they put these up for auction,

00:02:49.909 --> 00:02:53.430
the proceeds go to charity. Yeah. Every now and

00:02:53.430 --> 00:02:55.830
then, the proceeds go back to the person. But

00:02:55.830 --> 00:02:58.509
usually they go to charity, which is good. That's

00:02:58.509 --> 00:03:01.330
great. Yeah. I think David Gilmour has auctioned

00:03:01.330 --> 00:03:05.110
off a couple that way. All right, up next. Roger

00:03:05.110 --> 00:03:08.349
Waters was demanding his cut. Yes. Allegedly.

00:03:09.729 --> 00:03:14.689
Number 15, Bob Dylan's 1964 Fender Stratocaster.

00:03:14.990 --> 00:03:21.449
Sold in 2013 for the price of $965 ,000. At the

00:03:21.449 --> 00:03:25.770
1965 Newport Folk Festival, Dylan went electric

00:03:25.770 --> 00:03:30.469
for the first time with this 1964 Strat and an

00:03:30.469 --> 00:03:35.240
Alembic. And he got booed off the stage because

00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:40.900
how dare he go to electric guitar. Snotty little

00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:44.280
fuckers, aren't they? Now, eventually, he left

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.900
it on an airplane. And the pilot picked it up,

00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:50.219
and it stayed in his family for about 50 years.

00:03:50.500 --> 00:03:53.599
Oh, wow. Auction catalog photos show it's in

00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.680
excellent condition, especially since it's been

00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.000
played in gigs. Three -tone sunburst, free of

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.759
dings and fading. Pre -CBS, before CBS bought

00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.800
the company from Leo Fender, which makes them

00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:10.180
much more desirable. Oh, yeah. The original strap

00:04:10.180 --> 00:04:12.520
and case included. It was expected to go for

00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:17.740
$500 ,000. It went for $965 ,000. Wow. Yeah.

00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:23.819
Number 14, David Gilmour's Martin D -35 Acoustic.

00:04:24.139 --> 00:04:27.060
It's a six -string acoustic. 2019, sold in New

00:04:27.060 --> 00:04:33.290
York for $1 ,000 ,000. $95 ,000. Wow. In 2003,

00:04:33.370 --> 00:04:37.350
David Gilmour told BBC Radio No. 4's Desert Island

00:04:37.350 --> 00:04:40.810
Discs that his Martin D -35 was the one luxury

00:04:40.810 --> 00:04:43.850
item he'd want if he were stranded at sea. Quote,

00:04:43.889 --> 00:04:46.230
it's the best guitar I own. It's the guitar that's

00:04:46.230 --> 00:04:48.709
always by my side. I've written just about every

00:04:48.709 --> 00:04:51.529
piece of music using that guitar. My ideas come

00:04:51.529 --> 00:04:55.329
through that guitar. Most prominently heard on

00:04:55.329 --> 00:04:57.550
Wish You Were Here, it was used on every Pink

00:04:57.550 --> 00:04:59.829
Floyd album from Dark Side of the Moon in 73

00:04:59.829 --> 00:05:04.949
to The Final Cut in 83. The 1969 D -35 proved

00:05:04.949 --> 00:05:08.610
not to be entirely indispensable, however, because

00:05:08.610 --> 00:05:11.550
Gilmer auctioned it to benefit the charity Climate

00:05:11.550 --> 00:05:15.329
Earth. So it's interesting that he was ready

00:05:15.329 --> 00:05:18.569
to give it up for that cause. I guess maybe he

00:05:18.569 --> 00:05:21.470
wasn't playing as much anymore? I guess. That'd

00:05:21.470 --> 00:05:26.480
be my guess. Number 13, Rory Gallagher's 1961

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.740
Fender Stratocaster. A lot of Stratocasters so

00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:34.600
far. Yeah, yeah. Rory was an Irish, what would

00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:38.720
you call him, blues, Irish blues guy maybe? Yeah.

00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:41.879
He did rock, and he landed on the rock charts

00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.680
with several songs. Yeah. I think he died pretty

00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.220
young from cirrhosis. Yeah, that sounds about

00:05:48.220 --> 00:05:52.720
right. Yeah. Just give me a little rundown on

00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.500
Roy Gallagher because he wasn't that well known

00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:59.639
per se. No. He usually played with other people.

00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.339
Yes. He kind of got left out. This guitar sold

00:06:03.339 --> 00:06:09.920
in 2024 in London for $1 .16 million. When the

00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.819
Roy Gallagher's family gave notice that they

00:06:12.819 --> 00:06:15.500
would be selling his 61 Strat plus a lot of the

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:18.620
gear. it sparked a lot of worldwide interests.

00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:21.680
Members of the Irish government endorsed a grassroots

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.079
fundraising effort to keep the guitar of the

00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.959
late blues rock guitarist in the native country

00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.160
of Ireland. Joe Bonamassa joined in. Oh, yep,

00:06:30.220 --> 00:06:32.920
I believe that. And then owing to the significance

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.199
of this particular Strat, the legend is it's

00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.160
the first one to ever reach Irish soil. I've

00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.649
heard that, yes. Yeah, I have too. No one will

00:06:42.649 --> 00:06:45.370
be surprised to see it make this list of top

00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:48.730
-selling guitars. Gallagher wielded this heavily

00:06:48.730 --> 00:06:50.790
aged guitar throughout the course of his career

00:06:50.790 --> 00:06:53.230
and used it to cement himself as one of the all

00:06:53.230 --> 00:06:56.250
-time greats of guitar music. When the auction

00:06:56.250 --> 00:06:58.829
rolled around in October of 24, the Hammer eventually

00:06:58.829 --> 00:07:04.290
went down at 700 ,000 pounds, but with the added

00:07:04.290 --> 00:07:08.649
buyer's premium was 889 ,400, which equates to

00:07:08.649 --> 00:07:15.730
1 .26 million. Wow. U .S. dollars. However, the

00:07:15.730 --> 00:07:21.329
person who bought it was not from Ireland, but

00:07:21.329 --> 00:07:24.730
he bowed to their wishes and put it in a national

00:07:24.730 --> 00:07:26.990
museum in Ireland. Oh, wow. That's where it sits.

00:07:27.730 --> 00:07:33.170
Isn't that awesome? Next up, Dwayne Allman's

00:07:33.170 --> 00:07:38.730
1957 Gibson Les Paul gold top. Okay. Sold in

00:07:38.730 --> 00:07:40.769
Dallas. And this is Dwayne Ullman. Dwayne Ullman.

00:07:40.889 --> 00:07:43.850
Yeah. Yeah. He's dead and he died a long time

00:07:43.850 --> 00:07:46.110
ago. Motorcycle crash. Motorcycle crash, yeah.

00:07:49.050 --> 00:07:52.550
Sold in Dallas in 2019 for a price of $1 .25

00:07:52.550 --> 00:07:57.149
million. Oh. And it's, you know, it's not a burst.

00:07:57.189 --> 00:08:01.569
It's a gold top, which in 1957 was a real high

00:08:01.569 --> 00:08:03.930
seller. Everyone loved the gold top. I used to

00:08:03.930 --> 00:08:05.430
love the gold top. Now it just kind of looks

00:08:05.430 --> 00:08:08.949
bland to me. Yeah, I agree. I was the same. Yeah,

00:08:09.009 --> 00:08:11.170
I've seen them in person at the Gibson Garage.

00:08:11.250 --> 00:08:16.430
It's nice, but not for me. But this particular

00:08:16.430 --> 00:08:18.769
guitar was used on the first two Allman Brothers

00:08:18.769 --> 00:08:22.230
albums, as well as Derek and the Dominoes' Layla

00:08:22.230 --> 00:08:24.449
and other assorted love songs, before Dwayne

00:08:24.449 --> 00:08:28.209
traded it for a Sunburst model. Allman insisted

00:08:28.209 --> 00:08:30.790
on keeping the pickups, so this guitar now has

00:08:30.790 --> 00:08:33.149
the humbuckers from the burst that he bought.

00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.740
So he just traded pickups. So this does not have

00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:39.080
the original pickups, but yeah. The subsequent

00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.740
owner refinished it badly before Tom Murphy,

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:45.559
who of the Murphy Labs works for Gibson, restored

00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:47.940
it to glory. Former owner Scott Lamar frequently

00:08:47.940 --> 00:08:50.659
loaned it out, so you've seen it on stage with

00:08:50.659 --> 00:08:52.940
the likes of Billy Gibbons, Kirk Hammett, and

00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:55.440
Derek Trucks. Kirk Hammett even? Yeah. Okay.

00:08:56.580 --> 00:08:58.840
Interesting. So even without the non -original

00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.220
pickups and the fact that it had to be refinished,

00:09:01.419 --> 00:09:04.330
one and a quarter million. Wow. But the fact

00:09:04.330 --> 00:09:07.470
that the Murphy Lab did it in Nashville. Gives

00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:10.309
it a significance. Yes, yes. That's going to

00:09:10.309 --> 00:09:14.450
be quality. Yep. Number 14 is Eric Clapton's

00:09:14.450 --> 00:09:18.490
1964 Gibson SG nicknamed The Fool because of

00:09:18.490 --> 00:09:21.929
the painting that's on it. It's a painting of

00:09:21.929 --> 00:09:25.330
a fool. It's wild colors. There's yellows and

00:09:25.330 --> 00:09:30.049
greens and blues. He just had this amazing painting

00:09:30.049 --> 00:09:32.559
put on it. I don't like the way it looks, really,

00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:34.659
the painting all over the body, and they've done

00:09:34.659 --> 00:09:38.320
some recreations and reissues of it. Eh, let

00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.779
some people at it. Anyways, it sold in Nashville

00:09:40.779 --> 00:09:47.759
in 2023 for $1 .27 million. It was a 1964 from

00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.559
his days in Cream, and it was famously known

00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.179
as The Fool. It was named after the Dutch art

00:09:53.179 --> 00:09:55.559
collective that gave it its striking body artwork.

00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.740
The Fool became Slow Hand's go -to guitar in

00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:01.340
his post -Blues Breakers day while he and Cream

00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:04.759
bandmates were piecing together the riff -oriented

00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:09.080
Disraeli Gears. So all those songs off Disraeli

00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.779
Gears, it's a Gibson SG, not a Stratocaster.

00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:14.200
He was known for a Strat for so many times, people

00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:16.519
just can't picture him with anything else. But

00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.700
he also played a Gibson 335 a lot, the semi -hollow

00:10:19.700 --> 00:10:23.309
body. You know a couple of guitars that will

00:10:23.309 --> 00:10:25.789
never be on there, but I always wondered if they

00:10:25.789 --> 00:10:29.490
ever auctioned them off or something. Paul Stanley's

00:10:29.490 --> 00:10:33.669
Ibanez, his Shattered guitar. Oh yeah, the Iceman

00:10:33.669 --> 00:10:37.370
with the Shattered. Yes. Oh yeah. I'll have to

00:10:37.370 --> 00:10:39.549
look that one up. Yeah, because that to me was

00:10:39.549 --> 00:10:42.610
one of the prettiest guitars ever. I don't know

00:10:42.610 --> 00:10:46.639
about how, well he sounded great. Yeah. But that

00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.659
right there, to me, I'd like to know what happened

00:10:48.659 --> 00:10:51.799
to that. Because he had one signature one. He

00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:53.980
was really during the Love Gun rock and roll

00:10:53.980 --> 00:10:56.740
era where he had that shattered guitar out quite

00:10:56.740 --> 00:10:59.120
a bit. Yeah. I'd love to know what happened to

00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.080
that. And then I'd like to know what happened

00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.120
to Blackie Wallace's B .C. Rich Warlock. Oh,

00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.759
yeah. Remember that? Black and red? Yeah. B .C.

00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:09.759
Rich made a lot of real pointy guitars, didn't

00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.200
they? They did, yeah. They came up with some

00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:12.940
interesting patterns. There was the Warlock,

00:11:13.019 --> 00:11:16.590
the Rich Pitch. The Rich Pitch, yeah. Mockingbird,

00:11:16.850 --> 00:11:21.149
Eagle, Seagull. There's a couple more. There's

00:11:21.149 --> 00:11:23.950
a couple more, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Anyhow, go ahead.

00:11:24.029 --> 00:11:26.129
I just wanted to mention those. As long as it's

00:11:26.129 --> 00:11:28.309
a sidetrack of Kiss, I saw a video the other

00:11:28.309 --> 00:11:31.230
day where Paul Stanley was talking that Kiss,

00:11:31.370 --> 00:11:35.590
he and Gene Simmons have sold Kiss. Yeah. Completely

00:11:35.590 --> 00:11:38.009
sold everything to it. The name, the costumes,

00:11:38.269 --> 00:11:41.389
the designs, the makeup, the songs, absolutely

00:11:41.389 --> 00:11:44.389
publishing absolutely everything for $350 million.

00:11:45.269 --> 00:11:49.129
So from this point on, Gene Simmons and Paul

00:11:49.129 --> 00:11:52.269
Stanley need to get permission to perform as

00:11:52.269 --> 00:11:54.490
Kiss, do anything Kiss related, and then they

00:11:54.490 --> 00:11:56.549
will have to pay a fee to whoever owns Kiss.

00:11:56.870 --> 00:11:58.889
Well, they're going to have to pay a fee because

00:11:58.889 --> 00:12:03.570
they're going to do that Las Vegas 50 years or

00:12:03.570 --> 00:12:05.769
whatever tribute. So they're going to have to

00:12:05.769 --> 00:12:07.570
get permission then and probably cut them a check.

00:12:07.990 --> 00:12:10.470
But you know, in a way, this is actually a good

00:12:10.470 --> 00:12:13.110
deal because now Kiss takes none of the risk.

00:12:13.610 --> 00:12:15.990
Exactly. Because somebody else owns it. Somebody

00:12:15.990 --> 00:12:18.129
else is putting the bill. KISS says, hey, we'll

00:12:18.129 --> 00:12:21.929
do it for, you know, here's your cut for, you

00:12:21.929 --> 00:12:24.149
know, using their name and the appearance and

00:12:24.149 --> 00:12:26.730
everything, and then the rest we'll keep. And

00:12:26.730 --> 00:12:29.330
I'm sure it's in the contract that Gene and Paul

00:12:29.330 --> 00:12:32.350
get paid no matter what. So even if it bombs,

00:12:32.389 --> 00:12:34.269
they're going to get paid. So there's zero risk

00:12:34.269 --> 00:12:37.549
to them. And they also sold it to a Japanese

00:12:37.549 --> 00:12:42.370
animation company. Yes. Which will be huge. It'll

00:12:42.370 --> 00:12:46.429
be huge over there. And everywhere that their

00:12:46.429 --> 00:12:50.289
reach extends. Yeah, yeah. So I found out there

00:12:50.289 --> 00:12:53.470
is a mini Aussie. Oh, wow. I was wanting one

00:12:53.470 --> 00:12:54.929
because I was like, you know, hey, we got mini

00:12:54.929 --> 00:12:58.049
Kiss now, but we need a mini Aussie. Well, I

00:12:58.049 --> 00:13:00.559
guess he's been around for a few years. Didn't

00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:06.360
know. So, anyhow. But the only thing is he really,

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.840
many kids say goodbye with it because, you know,

00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:12.000
they have all the, you know, makeup and all that.

00:13:12.100 --> 00:13:17.539
But, mini Ozzy, he looks a little bad, but, man.

00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.740
So, so, anyhow. I'd like to see a mini Alice

00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:24.200
Cooper. Oh, I'd love to see that. Yeah, put him

00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.120
in a little tiny guillotine. Yeah. Welcome to

00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.129
my night. A little bitty straitjacket. I think

00:13:33.129 --> 00:13:37.809
you're gonna like it. Okay, where were we? Sounds

00:13:37.809 --> 00:13:43.029
like he's on helium. Okay. Alright, Eric Clapton's

00:13:43.029 --> 00:13:46.330
The Fool. This guitar also became the face of

00:13:46.330 --> 00:13:49.529
the psychedelic era and the symbol of 1967's

00:13:49.529 --> 00:13:52.830
Summer of Love phenomenon. It also helped Clapton

00:13:52.830 --> 00:13:56.129
concoct what he called his woman tone, which

00:13:56.129 --> 00:13:58.090
is a term that's falling out of favor because

00:13:58.090 --> 00:14:02.379
it's... Basically what you do is you turn the

00:14:02.379 --> 00:14:06.240
gain up all the way, get on the bridge pickup,

00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:11.159
turn the tone all the way down. And if you do

00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:14.360
it right, it sounds almost like a violin, but

00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:18.019
with balls. And that's considered a woman tone,

00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.720
but other people are trying to get rid of that

00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.620
term and call it the violin tone. But it works

00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:28.750
extremely well on just about any guitar. High

00:14:28.750 --> 00:14:31.350
gain, turn the tone all the way down on your

00:14:31.350 --> 00:14:34.350
guitar and use the bridge pickup. There you go.

00:14:34.389 --> 00:14:40.529
It's great for soloing. Good. Anyway. So you've

00:14:40.529 --> 00:14:43.070
heard it on songs like Sunshine of Your Love,

00:14:43.250 --> 00:14:47.210
White Room, I Feel Free. That is probably one

00:14:47.210 --> 00:14:49.889
of my favorite sounds from them. Yeah. Yeah,

00:14:49.889 --> 00:14:54.029
it's an awesome tone. In late 2023, renowned

00:14:54.029 --> 00:14:58.200
collector Jim Irsay... The former owner of the

00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.799
Indianapolis Colts. He had about the biggest

00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.159
vintage guitar, vintage musical instrument collection

00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.860
on the planet. Yeah. It's amazing. He was a very

00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:12.740
interesting guy. Yeah. But this makes it the

00:15:12.740 --> 00:15:16.000
most expensive Eric Clapton guitar sold at auction.

00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:21.440
Okay, now we're in the top ten. Kurt Cobain's

00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:25.639
1993 Fender Mustang, which were nicknamed SkyStang

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:29.480
1. Because it was in sky blue, and it was a Mustang,

00:15:29.740 --> 00:15:32.480
and he bought two of them. Actually, he bought

00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:36.080
ten of them for a tour, and this particular one

00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:38.360
he liked over all the other nine, and he gave

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.519
some on the way. So this is SkyStang 1, sold

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.000
for $1 .587... No. They added a bunch of numbers.

00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:51.399
$1 ,587 ,500. They had to add that extra $500

00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:53.779
on the end, didn't they? Yeah, they sure did.

00:15:55.480 --> 00:16:00.200
So it can be seen on the March 1st, 1994 concert,

00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:03.259
the final show of Nirvana. Last concert Kurt

00:16:03.259 --> 00:16:05.019
Cobain ever played, and he's playing that guitar.

00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.539
It was his go -to guitar for the whole In Utero

00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:16.159
tour. It was built in Japan by the iconic Fuji

00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.100
-Gen factory by custom Luthier Scott Zimmerman

00:16:19.100 --> 00:16:21.940
because it wasn't offered in left -handed. They

00:16:21.940 --> 00:16:24.360
had to actually physically hand -make all of

00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:27.299
those specifically for him. Wow. That makes it

00:16:27.299 --> 00:16:30.559
even more valuable. Probably so, yeah. Now, following

00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:32.960
Kurt Cobain's death, Courtney Love, in a rare

00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.720
moment of generosity and decent human, she gave

00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.470
it to Kurt's brother, Chad. which, you know,

00:16:40.470 --> 00:16:42.649
Chad was there at that concert, and he said,

00:16:42.690 --> 00:16:44.830
that's the guitar I always associate with my

00:16:44.830 --> 00:16:47.269
brother Kurt. And so when Courtney gave it to

00:16:47.269 --> 00:16:48.970
me, I was just thrilled. It was just wonderful.

00:16:49.029 --> 00:16:55.669
It's cool that she did that. Yeah. Let's see.

00:16:57.690 --> 00:17:01.029
Chad Cobain didn't hold it all that long. He

00:17:01.029 --> 00:17:04.650
sold it to Japan -based businessman Mitsuro Sato,

00:17:04.869 --> 00:17:07.190
and then he's the one who put it up for auction.

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.059
Well, that's kind of depressing. Yeah. Oh, this

00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:13.140
one I remember my brother in all the time, and

00:17:13.140 --> 00:17:16.559
then he sells it. But, you know, I don't think

00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.619
Chad Cobain played guitar, so all he could do

00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:20.519
was hang it on the wall. Yeah, I get it. And

00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:22.220
he's like, why shouldn't it sit in my house?

00:17:22.380 --> 00:17:26.619
Yeah, let someone enjoy it. Yeah. Number nine,

00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.700
David Gilmour again, his 1954 Fender Stratocaster.

00:17:30.859 --> 00:17:35.349
It's kind of a cream white. Sold in 2019 for

00:17:35.349 --> 00:17:41.410
$1 ,815 ,000. Wow. Now, even without it being

00:17:41.410 --> 00:17:44.250
David Gilmour's guitar, this would have been

00:17:44.250 --> 00:17:47.029
extremely collectible because it's the very first

00:17:47.029 --> 00:17:51.049
Fender Stratocaster made to be given a serial

00:17:51.049 --> 00:17:54.119
number. There were some made before this, but

00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:56.019
they were made specifically to be given away

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:59.079
or as demonstrators. This was the first one made

00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:01.400
specifically to be sold to the public, and its

00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:12.059
serial number is 0001. Oh, nice. Yeah. Let's

00:18:12.059 --> 00:18:14.420
see. The first owner was country star Rex Gallion,

00:18:14.539 --> 00:18:19.059
who Fender directly sold it to. And then it was

00:18:19.059 --> 00:18:22.190
owned by Seymour Duncan of the pickup. company.

00:18:23.549 --> 00:18:26.250
Then it was also used to record Niles Rodgers

00:18:26.250 --> 00:18:29.309
-esque rhythm parts on another brick of the wall.

00:18:31.130 --> 00:18:35.930
It eventually came to David Gilmour in 1974,

00:18:36.170 --> 00:18:40.890
I think it was. So it spent 20 years bouncing

00:18:40.890 --> 00:18:43.670
around to other people before David Gilmour got

00:18:43.670 --> 00:18:47.259
it in 74. You're familiar with Another Brick

00:18:47.259 --> 00:18:48.900
in the Wall. There's that clean guitar playing

00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:54.240
the rhythm. That's the one. That's the 54 Fender

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:58.299
Strat. All original. 100 % original. Very cool.

00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:06.759
Yeah. It was sold at Christie's auction. And

00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:11.000
the auction guide predicted it would probably

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.799
sell for between $100 ,000 to $150 ,000. $1 .8

00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:20.099
million. Wow. That would have worked a lot more.

00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:24.099
But in that instance, it was a guitar that he

00:19:24.099 --> 00:19:26.740
had retired from playing because it was so worn.

00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.140
And then, again, David Gilmour wanted to raise

00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:32.299
money for a charity, so he said, I'll auction

00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:34.619
this guitar I'm not playing. That's cool. Yeah.

00:19:35.660 --> 00:19:38.420
Next up at number eight, Jerry Garcia of the

00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:41.019
Grateful Dead. His guitar called Wolf, which

00:19:41.019 --> 00:19:43.980
was hand -built for him. It's a weird -looking

00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:47.430
sucker. made from a lot of woods that are endangered

00:19:47.430 --> 00:19:51.809
species now, so you can't make guitars out of

00:19:51.809 --> 00:19:58.950
them. It's hard to describe. Imagine a Fender

00:19:58.950 --> 00:20:02.089
Stratocaster that's been kind of squished around

00:20:02.089 --> 00:20:04.950
a little bit, and the headstock's all wrong.

00:20:05.150 --> 00:20:09.170
That's kind of how it looks. It's a weird -ass

00:20:09.170 --> 00:20:11.349
looking guitar. It is a weird -ass looking guitar.

00:20:11.470 --> 00:20:13.289
And it's called the Wolf because there was a

00:20:13.289 --> 00:20:16.630
cartoony wolf sticker put on it. And eventually

00:20:16.630 --> 00:20:19.710
when that wore off, they recreated it in wooden

00:20:19.710 --> 00:20:23.529
inlay and put it on the guitar. Now it sold in

00:20:23.529 --> 00:20:29.789
2017 for $1 .9 million. Luthier Doug Irwin created

00:20:29.789 --> 00:20:33.630
it specifically for Jerry Garcia. And he used

00:20:33.630 --> 00:20:35.779
it... Pretty much from then on, that was his

00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:38.440
go -to guitar. I smell french fries now. I do

00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:43.500
too. They smell incredible. It had an ingenious

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:45.980
plate system to allow pickup systems to be dropped

00:20:45.980 --> 00:20:49.119
in or out. No heavy wiring or taking the guitar

00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:51.019
apart. Just drop them in, pull them out if you

00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:54.140
want to change the sound. It had two outputs

00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:56.859
so he could run his effects loop separately from

00:20:56.859 --> 00:21:03.319
his main guitar. Let's see. They skipped the

00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:05.640
part in here that I saw in the other one. When

00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.920
the guitar, when Jerry Garcia passed away, the

00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:13.900
guitar was given to the man who made it, Doug

00:21:13.900 --> 00:21:17.440
Irwin, who at the time was homeless because he

00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:20.960
had fallen on hard times. And so he was thrilled

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.539
to get these guitars. He's like, man, I'm going

00:21:22.539 --> 00:21:24.559
to sell this because I really need the money

00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.539
and I'm not going to play it anyway. The band

00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:30.480
stepped in and said, no, no, no. That guitar

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.539
really kind of belongs to the band, not to Jerry.

00:21:34.579 --> 00:21:38.279
So the band wanted to steal it back from a homeless

00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:41.640
guy who built it in the first place. So all you

00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:43.480
hippies there who like the Grateful Dead, this

00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:46.660
is who they are. Yeah. And it took two years

00:21:46.660 --> 00:21:50.700
to settle the suit. And the guy who made it finally

00:21:50.700 --> 00:21:54.759
did get the guitar. Oh, good. Yeah. And there

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:58.970
are two ex... hippie deadheads who were lawyers

00:21:58.970 --> 00:22:05.089
who took the case for free. That figures. And

00:22:05.089 --> 00:22:08.349
that guitar was the flagship of the auction.

00:22:08.430 --> 00:22:12.450
The auction in total raised $3 .2 million for

00:22:12.450 --> 00:22:14.869
the Southern Poverty Law Center. Oh, that's cool.

00:22:15.089 --> 00:22:17.650
Yeah. So there again, there was the Grateful

00:22:17.650 --> 00:22:21.690
Dead trying to block that. Because they're assholes.

00:22:22.009 --> 00:22:27.759
And the music is shit. Anyway. Next up, number

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:32.480
seven, John Lennon's Gibson J160E Acoustic. I

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:35.160
covered this one on the story about stolen guitars,

00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:41.079
famous stolen guitars. It was one that John Lennon

00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:44.480
and George Harrison each bought one at the same

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.539
time, same store, and there's a picture taken

00:22:47.539 --> 00:22:49.700
of them holding their new guitars, and the store

00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:52.299
owner standing next to them has no idea who these

00:22:52.299 --> 00:22:57.039
people are. But you heard it on hits like I Want

00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:00.279
to Hold Your Hand. You could see him playing

00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:05.500
it in the movie Help. It was on Love Me Do. It

00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:07.759
was stolen during a Christmas concert in 1963.

00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:13.640
Lennon replaced it with another one, but eventually

00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:15.839
it wound up being found in somebody's attic.

00:23:16.579 --> 00:23:18.779
Wow. And it had been up there for years and years

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:20.460
and years, and it was still in decent condition,

00:23:20.619 --> 00:23:24.130
so it was brought. brought down and sold at auction

00:23:24.130 --> 00:23:28.289
in 2015 in Los Angeles and got $2 .41 million.

00:23:29.630 --> 00:23:37.769
Wow. Wow. This next one's a little weird. Excuse

00:23:37.769 --> 00:23:41.009
me. Because it's not really historical or vintage

00:23:41.009 --> 00:23:45.190
or anything, but it's got its own kind of value.

00:23:45.250 --> 00:23:48.619
It's called the Reach Out to Asia. Fender Stratocaster.

00:23:48.779 --> 00:23:52.380
Oh, wow. It was sold in Qatar in 2005 for $2

00:23:52.380 --> 00:23:56.400
.7 million. Qatar sounds like guitar. Yeah, it

00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.259
does. I think that's why they like them over

00:23:59.259 --> 00:24:04.660
there. All right. Now, this starts out as a Mexican

00:24:04.660 --> 00:24:08.099
-made standard Stratocaster, which is the lower,

00:24:08.140 --> 00:24:10.559
even American -made or high dollar. The Mexican

00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:13.160
-made are a little cheaper, although they're

00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:17.279
pretty much just as good. But this was designed

00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:20.599
to raise money for the tsunami victims of the

00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:24.480
2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. So somebody went out

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.599
and bought this white Strat and then got every

00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:30.700
guitar god and rock god he could think of to

00:24:30.700 --> 00:24:33.380
sign it. And that's what gives it its value.

00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:36.900
He got the signatures of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards,

00:24:37.220 --> 00:24:41.579
Eric Clapton, Brian May, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour,

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:46.799
Jeff Beck. Pete Townsend, Mark Doffler, Ray Davies,

00:24:46.859 --> 00:24:50.400
Liam Gallagher, Ronnie Wood, Tony Iommi, Angus

00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:53.519
and Malcolm Young, Paul McCartney, Sting, Richie

00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:57.299
Blackmore, Def Leppard, and Brian Adams. Okay.

00:24:57.819 --> 00:25:00.779
All those people signed it. Liam Gallagher, Sting,

00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:03.619
and Brian Adams. They need to scribble all those

00:25:03.619 --> 00:25:05.359
off. Yeah. And the rest are great. Yeah, the

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:09.259
rest of them are good. Okay, cool. Wow, he got

00:25:09.259 --> 00:25:13.900
a lot of different signatures. Yeah. Now the

00:25:13.900 --> 00:25:17.099
newly made ones sold for around $350 at the time.

00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:19.000
So that's probably what the guy paid for it.

00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:23.319
It sold for $2 .7 million because of the signatures.

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:26.420
All the signatures, yep. And that said, it makes

00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:29.180
it pretty much the most overpriced guitar in

00:25:29.180 --> 00:25:35.700
all of history. Now as a sideline, do you remember...

00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:38.920
a musician, Christopher Cross. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

00:25:39.420 --> 00:25:42.660
He did kind of yacht rock. Say, baby, take me

00:25:42.660 --> 00:25:45.460
away to where I'm going. Did you know that he

00:25:45.460 --> 00:25:47.619
once subbed for Richie Blackmore in a Rainbow

00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:50.900
concert? No. Yep. It was during his hard rock

00:25:50.900 --> 00:25:53.640
days. He had long hair. He had a flying V. He

00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:55.619
was really into Rainbow and Richie Blackmore,

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:59.819
and he was a good guitar player, and Richie was

00:25:59.819 --> 00:26:02.180
sick for a show, and he couldn't do it, so they

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:04.940
called up. Christopher Cross and said, can you

00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:07.019
come play? And he said, okay. And he did it.

00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:10.359
Wow. It's so weird to think of the guy writing

00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:13.900
those gentle songs. He was up there rocking with

00:26:13.900 --> 00:26:19.099
a rainbow. Wow. And they showed a picture of

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:21.380
him with his long hair and I didn't recognize

00:26:21.380 --> 00:26:24.700
him. Totally different looking guy. Wow. You

00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:26.460
just never know. People have been all over the

00:26:26.460 --> 00:26:28.779
place and done all sorts of things. It's amazing.

00:26:29.380 --> 00:26:33.049
That's pretty cool, really. That is pretty cool.

00:26:34.410 --> 00:26:38.630
Number five, John Lennon's 12 -string Framus

00:26:38.630 --> 00:26:41.390
Hootenanny. Framus is the brand, and it was the

00:26:41.390 --> 00:26:44.349
Hootenanny model. It's got a flying trapeze bridge,

00:26:44.430 --> 00:26:46.470
and it's a 12 -string. You see it looks kind

00:26:46.470 --> 00:26:52.650
of vintage. This is one that Julian Lennon announced

00:26:52.650 --> 00:26:59.789
as Discovery. Where did they lose it? Anyways,

00:26:59.890 --> 00:27:01.690
used extensively during their help recording

00:27:01.690 --> 00:27:05.390
sessions. He wrote some songs on it. The song,

00:27:05.470 --> 00:27:07.609
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away. He can be

00:27:07.609 --> 00:27:11.789
seen actually playing it in the movie. It was

00:27:11.789 --> 00:27:14.150
found in the back of an attic, having been missing

00:27:14.150 --> 00:27:20.109
for 50 years. They had no idea really what they

00:27:20.109 --> 00:27:22.930
had, so they brought it and had it evaluated

00:27:22.930 --> 00:27:27.130
and looked at. And it wound up selling in 2024

00:27:27.130 --> 00:27:30.519
for the price of $2. million eight hundred fifty

00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.420
seven thousand five hundred dollars that's a

00:27:34.420 --> 00:27:40.420
lot yeah geez to be found in an attic and at

00:27:40.420 --> 00:27:44.640
the time it set the record for um the most expensive

00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:47.460
beatles guitar to ever sell at auction beating

00:27:47.460 --> 00:27:50.859
out uh lennon's 2 .4 million gibson acoustic

00:27:50.859 --> 00:27:56.099
that we just talked about wow uh number four

00:27:56.829 --> 00:27:59.589
Eddie Van Halen's Hot for Teacher Kramer guitar.

00:28:00.190 --> 00:28:02.650
Red with white stripes. Kind of looked like his

00:28:02.650 --> 00:28:04.829
Frankenstein Strat, except this is a Kramer.

00:28:04.910 --> 00:28:07.150
It has a Kramer headstock. I remember that because

00:28:07.150 --> 00:28:10.410
Kramer was endorsing Kramer. He was. He was a

00:28:10.410 --> 00:28:12.609
Kramer endorser. They needed a Kramer guitar,

00:28:12.930 --> 00:28:15.730
so they made him one that looked like the Frankenstein

00:28:15.730 --> 00:28:18.450
Strat. But you'll notice it's got a hockey stick

00:28:18.450 --> 00:28:22.519
tile headstock. Yeah. Yep. And it was purpose

00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:25.019
-built with just one pickup, whereas his Frankenstrat

00:28:25.019 --> 00:28:27.240
had the two other pickups just torn out. Yeah.

00:28:27.579 --> 00:28:32.660
So this one sold in New York in 2023 for $3 .932

00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:38.359
million. Just under $4 million. Wow. So this

00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:40.660
is the one that he used in the video for Hot

00:28:40.660 --> 00:28:46.000
for Teacher and played. It exceeded its auction

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:48.160
estimate by nearly a million dollars. It was

00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:52.299
built by Paul Unkert. and was reportedly one

00:28:52.299 --> 00:28:54.500
of Van Halen's primary instruments in the 83

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:57.619
and 84, and most notably for the Hot for Teacher

00:28:57.619 --> 00:29:04.500
music video. Someone speculated, what do you

00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:06.819
think Frankenstrat would actually sell for? This

00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:11.700
one sold for $4 million. Or the Bumblebee one

00:29:11.700 --> 00:29:14.460
that was buried with Dimebag Daryl. Oh, yeah.

00:29:15.259 --> 00:29:17.839
Those are probably closer to $10 million. Probably.

00:29:21.940 --> 00:29:25.180
Yeah. Frankenstrat, who owns that? Wolfie does.

00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:27.380
Wolfie does. Yeah, and he's used it on some of

00:29:27.380 --> 00:29:28.359
the music he's put out. Yeah, that's right. I

00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.980
have seen it, yeah. And Wolfie, he's a fantastic

00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:33.519
guitarist. He can play it. Oh, my God. And he's

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:35.180
a good drummer, too. Yeah, he's a great drummer.

00:29:35.420 --> 00:29:37.519
Well, he plays about every instrument around,

00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.799
actually. Why not? Why not? Yeah. I mean, his

00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:46.559
whole family's musical, so, you know. So right

00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:49.700
now, this is the most expensive. Van Halen guitar

00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:52.619
ever sold and maybe will be the most expensive

00:29:52.619 --> 00:29:54.940
ever sold. Yeah, because Frankenstrat's probably

00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:56.579
not going to be sold. No, I wouldn't think so.

00:29:56.819 --> 00:30:01.259
I'd go to Wolfie's son. Number three, David Gilmour's

00:30:01.259 --> 00:30:04.259
Black Spender Stratocaster. Sold in New York

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:09.579
in 2019 for $3 .975 million. This is Black Strat?

00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:17.180
It's a Black Stratocaster. Okay. This blackstrap

00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:19.359
went for the price of a Beverly Hills mansion,

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:23.660
despite having been thoroughly messed with. It

00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:25.700
came with a sales receipt for three different

00:30:25.700 --> 00:30:28.539
custom pickups wound by Seymour Duncan for Gilmore,

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:32.799
and the shortened whammy bar. This is a guitar

00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.619
he used for the Comfortably Numb solo. It was

00:30:36.619 --> 00:30:40.759
his number one guitar from 70 through 86. And

00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:45.900
as far as I can understand, it was... Like a

00:30:45.900 --> 00:30:49.240
different one, it was assembled from parts. It's,

00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.319
you know, this neck and this body. It was just

00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:55.259
all kind of put together. And it just became

00:30:55.259 --> 00:31:00.579
so special to him. Getting to the end here. Number

00:31:00.579 --> 00:31:04.539
two, Kurt Cobain's Fender Mustang that he used

00:31:04.539 --> 00:31:08.470
on the Smells Like Teen Spirit video. Sold in

00:31:08.470 --> 00:31:14.309
2022 for $4 ,550 ,000. And that's the one with

00:31:14.309 --> 00:31:16.890
the big chunk taken out of it and it's broken,

00:31:17.130 --> 00:31:20.170
isn't it? Yeah. On one of the tours, there's

00:31:20.170 --> 00:31:22.410
video of him smashing it into the mixing desk.

00:31:22.589 --> 00:31:25.630
Yeah. It said it fractured the neck, but he used

00:31:25.630 --> 00:31:27.470
glue and tape to hold it together and finish

00:31:27.470 --> 00:31:32.549
playing the rest of the tour with it. I found

00:31:32.549 --> 00:31:35.500
that incredible. Yeah. Now, the auction only

00:31:35.500 --> 00:31:37.240
estimated it was probably going to sell for about

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:44.099
$800 ,000. Try five times that much. Jeez. So

00:31:44.099 --> 00:31:47.140
it was the first guitar you ever saw Kurt Cobain

00:31:47.140 --> 00:31:50.500
playing and holding because it was in that video.

00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:54.359
Yeah. That video has been viewed on YouTube almost

00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:58.619
1 .5 billion times. So when you own that guitar,

00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:00.960
you've got a guitar that billions of people have

00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:06.470
looked at. Wow. Lake Placid Blue is the color.

00:32:08.529 --> 00:32:11.029
And it's got some stripes painted on it, which

00:32:11.029 --> 00:32:14.490
looks pretty cool. And it really isn't anything

00:32:14.490 --> 00:32:18.049
special. Kurt said of the Fender Mustangs, this

00:32:18.049 --> 00:32:21.089
is my favorite guitar because it's cheap, it

00:32:21.089 --> 00:32:23.349
doesn't work very well, it sounds like shit,

00:32:23.470 --> 00:32:27.569
but you can always get something out of it. Fender

00:32:27.569 --> 00:32:29.170
wasn't too happy with that kind of description,

00:32:29.390 --> 00:32:35.259
but it worked. It worked. Who said, yeah, it

00:32:35.259 --> 00:32:37.839
got its nasty neck joint break after Kurt Bane

00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:42.400
used it to smash up a mixing board at Nirvana's

00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:45.420
Tree Club concert in Dallas. The guitar was promptly

00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:48.779
patched up and saw action again in the 1993 Hollywood

00:32:48.779 --> 00:32:52.920
Rock Festival set. It again was bought by Indianapolis

00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.380
Colts owner Jim Irsay. You added it to the Jim

00:32:55.380 --> 00:32:57.259
Irsay collection. I actually remember that, yeah.

00:32:57.500 --> 00:33:03.329
Yep. Wow. Now, the number one guitar. Sold at

00:33:03.329 --> 00:33:08.029
auction. It's an acoustic. It's Kurt Cobain's

00:33:08.029 --> 00:33:11.109
Martin D -18E that he played in the unplugged

00:33:11.109 --> 00:33:15.109
video. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That sold

00:33:15.109 --> 00:33:17.849
in August. That sold in Los Angeles in 2020.

00:33:19.190 --> 00:33:28.529
$6 ,010 ,000. Yeah. Okay. So, it looked pretty

00:33:28.529 --> 00:33:30.769
heavily modified. It had three knobs stuck on

00:33:30.769 --> 00:33:33.390
it. He played it left -handed and it was a right

00:33:33.390 --> 00:33:36.529
-handed guitar. So it was used for the Immortal

00:33:36.529 --> 00:33:40.630
set. You'll probably have heard his cover of

00:33:40.630 --> 00:33:42.849
David Bowie's The Man Who Sold the World. Yeah.

00:33:42.990 --> 00:33:47.789
That's that guitar. Yep. The guy who bought it,

00:33:47.829 --> 00:33:51.809
Peter Friedman, is the owner and founder of Rhodes

00:33:51.809 --> 00:33:55.849
Microphones. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. So he's

00:33:55.849 --> 00:33:58.269
always been into music, and music has helped

00:33:58.269 --> 00:34:03.130
him make his career and his fortune. And he said

00:34:03.130 --> 00:34:05.869
he wanted to make sure that guitar didn't just

00:34:05.869 --> 00:34:08.530
get hidden away somewhere. So he's promised to

00:34:08.530 --> 00:34:12.630
exhibit it on a world tour. And he also wants

00:34:12.630 --> 00:34:15.829
it to continue to be used and played and recorded.

00:34:16.130 --> 00:34:23.829
Oh, wow. But I believe it's a 1933. And here's

00:34:23.829 --> 00:34:26.730
several things about that guitar. It's a Martin,

00:34:26.849 --> 00:34:29.340
which means it's worth a little bit. Number two,

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:32.659
it's made in 1933, so it's survived a long time

00:34:32.659 --> 00:34:35.920
in great shape. Number three, it was built as

00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:39.380
a very fancy, expensive, special guitar in the

00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:42.059
first place. Number four, they only made a few

00:34:42.059 --> 00:34:44.980
of them. Number five, it was used by Kurt Cobain

00:34:44.980 --> 00:34:46.760
in one of the most famous unplugged concerts

00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:49.420
everywhere. This had to be the most expensive

00:34:49.420 --> 00:34:51.559
guitar. There's just so much going for it. Now

00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:53.019
that you put it like that, now I get it. Yeah.

00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:56.139
Okay. And thank goodness it's going to continue

00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:59.989
to be used. Yeah, that is cool. Yeah. Good. So

00:34:59.989 --> 00:35:02.849
that's the top 16 most expensive guitars ever

00:35:02.849 --> 00:35:05.070
sold at auction. That was pretty cool. I like

00:35:05.070 --> 00:35:07.789
that. That's a nice little list and a good description

00:35:07.789 --> 00:35:10.570
of why they sold like they did. Yeah, yeah. All

00:35:10.570 --> 00:35:13.230
right. Oh, I got some bullet points if you want

00:35:13.230 --> 00:35:15.489
to go into them. I love the bullet points. And

00:35:15.489 --> 00:35:17.969
it's funny. You're talking about Nirvana. Well,

00:35:18.010 --> 00:35:23.090
that's... Oh. Yeah, okay. It's still going. I

00:35:23.090 --> 00:35:25.480
thought that it hung up. Oh, okay. I thought,

00:35:25.579 --> 00:35:27.860
why is this not moving? And then it moved. Okay,

00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:30.559
good. Never mind. All right. I do that all the

00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:32.840
time, too. Oh, shit. Oh, wait a minute. It's

00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:37.579
okay. All right. Since we're talking about Nirvana,

00:35:37.579 --> 00:35:39.260
let's start off with them again, all right? Yeah.

00:35:39.739 --> 00:35:42.519
If there was a Nirvana reunion suddenly announced,

00:35:42.820 --> 00:35:46.380
who would make a great singer to replace Cobain?

00:35:47.219 --> 00:35:54.639
Wow. That's a tough one. It is, isn't it? Damn,

00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:58.960
I can't think of anybody right off the bat. Because

00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:01.500
everyone I'm thinking about is already dead.

00:36:01.940 --> 00:36:07.900
Yeah. Let's see, there's one left. And that would

00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:10.239
be Eddie Vedder. Yeah, that's what I was thinking

00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:12.340
of. It's about the only one left is Eddie Vedder.

00:36:12.420 --> 00:36:16.179
Yeah. I'm sure there's a smaller one over there

00:36:16.179 --> 00:36:19.239
somewhere, Seattle or something. Yeah. That's

00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:25.409
closer to... You know, I think Billy Corgan could

00:36:25.409 --> 00:36:27.210
do a good job. He wouldn't really sound like

00:36:27.210 --> 00:36:29.510
Kurt Cobain so much, but he could definitely

00:36:29.510 --> 00:36:32.070
put the range and the passion in that Kurt Cobain

00:36:32.070 --> 00:36:34.170
put. You know who I think could do it very well?

00:36:35.230 --> 00:36:40.789
Robin Zander. Yeah. I know he's a really polished,

00:36:40.869 --> 00:36:43.730
great singer. I think he could just go up there

00:36:43.730 --> 00:36:45.809
and do it. I think he's got enough raw talent

00:36:45.809 --> 00:36:48.429
to where he'd just be like, you know. Yeah, especially

00:36:48.429 --> 00:36:51.269
if he didn't try to be perfect. Exactly. I think

00:36:51.269 --> 00:36:53.670
he could do it. Because Nirvana, at heart, was

00:36:53.670 --> 00:36:56.170
a punk band. Yeah. And punk doesn't try to be

00:36:56.170 --> 00:36:59.550
perfect. Don't try. Actually, punk tries not

00:36:59.550 --> 00:37:02.750
to be perfect. Yes, yes. That's their whole gimmick

00:37:02.750 --> 00:37:05.969
is, oh, that's horrible. Yes. Yes, it is. Thank

00:37:05.969 --> 00:37:09.949
you. All right. How about the same question,

00:37:10.070 --> 00:37:13.849
but about Mother Love Bone? I'd say Mark Turay.

00:37:14.989 --> 00:37:19.429
For Andy Wood? Yeah. Yeah, I would say he's a

00:37:19.429 --> 00:37:22.579
good choice. And he can sing like it, too. I've

00:37:22.579 --> 00:37:25.880
heard Mert Turin sing so many different ways.

00:37:26.139 --> 00:37:29.800
Yeah, he has an amazing range. He even looks

00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:33.800
similar. Well, he did. He did, yeah. He's had

00:37:33.800 --> 00:37:35.719
some rough miles put on him, that's for sure.

00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:39.480
He's had some rough miles, but yeah. Last I heard,

00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:41.739
he was getting sued by a few of his baby mamas.

00:37:42.500 --> 00:37:44.500
Oh, yeah, yeah, I did see something about that.

00:37:44.579 --> 00:37:46.360
Yeah, I don't know if he has any money left,

00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:48.380
even. Yeah, he's still working, but he doesn't

00:37:48.380 --> 00:37:51.789
have any money. Yeah. Man, I can't think of anybody

00:37:51.789 --> 00:37:56.769
but him. Yeah, that's about it. Yeah. Huh. Those

00:37:56.769 --> 00:38:00.429
are all great. That's a toughie. Yeah, it is.

00:38:02.710 --> 00:38:09.909
Who else is good? Maybe Rob Halpert. Maybe. Nah,

00:38:10.050 --> 00:38:12.250
that wouldn't really work. He's got too much

00:38:12.250 --> 00:38:14.429
of his own style. It'd have to be somebody that

00:38:14.429 --> 00:38:17.230
was so overwhelmingly their own style. Yeah.

00:38:20.139 --> 00:38:22.860
Sebastian Bach, possibly. Sebastian Bach. I think,

00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:24.659
actually, he might be a better fit than anybody

00:38:24.659 --> 00:38:29.420
else. Yeah, I think vocally they could both do

00:38:29.420 --> 00:38:34.099
it. Okay. Cool. And Mark Turan, if he looked

00:38:34.099 --> 00:38:37.719
like he used to. Yes. Yeah. He had the blonde

00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:40.119
hair and all that. He was a heartthrob for a

00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:41.880
bit. I mean, not really a heartthrob, but he

00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:44.079
was definitely up there on the posters for a

00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:47.860
while. He fit the look of the rock star. Yes.

00:38:50.059 --> 00:38:52.300
All right. The kind of guy that countless of

00:38:52.300 --> 00:38:54.780
young teenage girls and guys wanted to lose their

00:38:54.780 --> 00:39:00.639
virginity to. Yes. What grudge band could have

00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:06.159
used an organ, piano, or synthesizer? Wow. I'm

00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:08.460
going to say Alice in Chains. Yeah, Alice in

00:39:08.460 --> 00:39:10.300
Chains could have been awesome. Wouldn't it be

00:39:10.300 --> 00:39:12.699
great with an organ and he plays John Lord style?

00:39:12.940 --> 00:39:18.380
Yeah. With Jerry Cantrell. Oh, man, that'd be

00:39:18.380 --> 00:39:20.820
good. Green Day, no, because they played mostly

00:39:20.820 --> 00:39:23.179
too fast. Yeah. And then, you know, they put

00:39:23.179 --> 00:39:25.420
in strings and whatever they wanted in the studio

00:39:25.420 --> 00:39:29.099
anyway. But just as an every song player, Nirvana

00:39:29.099 --> 00:39:31.400
used a cello player for a while. In fact, Kurt

00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:34.000
was seriously considering asking her to join

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.079
the band permanently on cello, but he died before

00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:39.480
he did. Sounded great. Yeah. Sounded great in

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:46.099
there, too, the cello. Yeah. Gosh. I know there's

00:39:46.099 --> 00:39:52.420
more. Yeah. Maybe the Ramones with the distorted

00:39:52.420 --> 00:39:55.079
kind of electric piano sound. I can hear that.

00:39:55.179 --> 00:39:57.260
Yeah. I can hear that. Slightly out of tune.

00:39:57.539 --> 00:39:59.320
Slightly out of tune. Like somebody hammering

00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:02.119
away on their busted up old fender roads. I think

00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:06.639
that sounds about right. Yeah. Motorhead. Yeah.

00:40:07.300 --> 00:40:12.519
They had enough noise. And Ozzy had plenty of

00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:19.730
synthesizers. Black Sabbath did too. Dio did.

00:40:19.869 --> 00:40:25.190
Dio is really big with synthesizers. I can't

00:40:25.190 --> 00:40:27.250
see Alice in Chains needing anything like that.

00:40:28.349 --> 00:40:30.570
They did enough sonically with just guitars.

00:40:31.769 --> 00:40:36.070
I'd like to see him play John Lloyd style on

00:40:36.070 --> 00:40:38.869
Alice in Chains where he follows the guitar.

00:40:39.750 --> 00:40:42.230
Or leads the guitar depending on how you look

00:40:42.230 --> 00:40:45.980
at it. But I can't see Kim Thayil of Soundgarden

00:40:45.980 --> 00:40:47.659
really fitting in well with a keyboard player.

00:40:48.460 --> 00:40:51.519
That's interesting. With all the sounds that

00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:54.119
they come up with, they might be able to use

00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:57.059
keyboards on the back end. That's true. Because

00:40:57.059 --> 00:41:00.760
they do the solos like I was talking about that

00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:05.679
are just sounds that fit. I mean, like Tom Morello,

00:41:05.739 --> 00:41:08.889
Jimmy Page done a lot of that. It's not supposed

00:41:08.889 --> 00:41:11.230
to be a musical melody that you follow, but more

00:41:11.230 --> 00:41:14.230
a feeling and an emotion you get. No, it's just

00:41:14.230 --> 00:41:17.289
like, this is the sound that describes how we

00:41:17.289 --> 00:41:19.789
feel. Yeah. And that's it. Perfectly valid to

00:41:19.789 --> 00:41:23.590
me. Yeah, me too. To me, that stuff is more brilliant

00:41:23.590 --> 00:41:25.789
than the stuff you can write that's supposed

00:41:25.789 --> 00:41:28.650
to sound like a song within a song. Yeah. If

00:41:28.650 --> 00:41:30.630
you capture the feeling of the song, that's what

00:41:30.630 --> 00:41:32.710
you're trying to do. You're explaining what's

00:41:32.710 --> 00:41:36.119
going on. That could be something we look into

00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:38.679
as the most overwritten and overproduced songs.

00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:42.719
Yes. Let's do that on the next one. Yes. I like

00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:48.440
that. I'm going to write that down. Pretty much

00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:51.139
everything by Asia was overproduced. Oh, yeah.

00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:57.159
It was meant to. That's what they didn't do as

00:41:57.159 --> 00:42:01.360
well as they could have. Yeah. It's described

00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:10.760
as a very wet sound. I agree. Okay, will you

00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:13.119
watch a movie about Ozzie's final six years?

00:42:13.340 --> 00:42:15.739
Yes. Me too. Hell, I'll buy a book about it.

00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:18.420
I did. I got it pre -ordered already. All right.

00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:22.920
The name of it is Last Rites, and it starts with

00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:27.440
Ozzie's falling home in 2019 that set him on

00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:30.280
the path to full -blown Parkinson's and many

00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:33.960
other issues. Yeah. Do you like this idea? I

00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:36.460
do. It's going to be kind of sad, I think. Yeah,

00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:39.860
it will, but I think we can hack it. I do too,

00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:44.440
and I think it's important to see. He worked

00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:47.960
so hard and believed in trying to get the fans

00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:50.239
one more time, and everything that he'd done.

00:42:50.780 --> 00:42:53.360
Yeah, everyone's really comfortable with Ozzy.

00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:56.559
Ozzy is the lovable goofball, but you see the...

00:42:57.569 --> 00:42:59.889
dedicated, hard -working man underneath it, that's

00:42:59.889 --> 00:43:01.550
going to be a good thing. Well, he's a person

00:43:01.550 --> 00:43:04.309
that loved his fans unconditionally. Oh, yeah.

00:43:05.170 --> 00:43:08.889
And it shows. I mean, you know, he did everything

00:43:08.889 --> 00:43:12.289
he could, as bad a help as he could, to be there

00:43:12.289 --> 00:43:14.269
and to be out there on stage as long as he could.

00:43:14.289 --> 00:43:16.289
And he did a lot more songs than I ever thought

00:43:16.289 --> 00:43:18.769
he would do. As opposed to Roger Waters, who

00:43:18.769 --> 00:43:20.909
once was spitting on the audience because he

00:43:20.909 --> 00:43:23.829
hated him so much during the Dark Side of the

00:43:23.829 --> 00:43:26.699
Moon tour. I know it was the Wish You Were Here

00:43:26.699 --> 00:43:29.940
tour, I think. He's like, screw success, screw

00:43:29.940 --> 00:43:31.719
all these fans, I don't want to be here. He's

00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:34.219
just spitting on people who are requesting songs.

00:43:34.500 --> 00:43:38.260
Play money! Play time! Okay, they probably need

00:43:38.260 --> 00:43:42.039
to be spit on. But that's when he came up with

00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:45.340
the idea for the album The Wall. Build a wall

00:43:45.340 --> 00:43:47.280
in front of them? Yeah, his own disaffection

00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:48.980
with the fans, the people who put him where he

00:43:48.980 --> 00:43:52.360
was, suddenly he can't stand them. So he thought,

00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:54.239
ooh, this is a good idea for a double album.

00:43:55.789 --> 00:43:58.090
Worked out very well. Yeah, but he's still a

00:43:58.090 --> 00:44:00.849
jerk. Yeah, it is. And coincidentally, that is

00:44:00.849 --> 00:44:03.789
one of my least favorite albums from him. Yeah,

00:44:03.929 --> 00:44:07.550
yeah. I found it boring, as opposed to a lot

00:44:07.550 --> 00:44:09.829
of the other things. Yeah, there's some really

00:44:09.829 --> 00:44:12.389
interesting moments here and there, and it makes

00:44:12.389 --> 00:44:16.030
a great soundtrack for a movie. But the album

00:44:16.030 --> 00:44:18.480
before Dark Side of the Moon called Metal. I

00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:20.940
like that one so much better. Oh, I do too. And

00:44:20.940 --> 00:44:22.340
Wish You Were Here. And Dark Side of the Moon,

00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:24.639
of course, too. Yeah. And Animals. I like Animals

00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:26.780
better. Animals is great, too. Yeah. Oh, Wish

00:44:26.780 --> 00:44:29.119
You Were Here was one of the classic songs ever

00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:31.900
made. Yeah. One of the most classic songs. Yeah.

00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:38.340
Very recognizable. Yeah. Yeah. Heartfelt. Great.

00:44:38.659 --> 00:44:40.320
One of those ones that you don't play in the

00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:44.360
music store because everyone does. Yes. That's

00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:45.840
the one where everybody's proud because they

00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:48.500
progressed from Smoke on the Water to that. Yes.

00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:53.760
Look what I did in there. But you were here,

00:44:53.940 --> 00:44:56.360
right? Everyone does that. Everyone does that.

00:44:56.559 --> 00:44:59.019
Well, I told you about like in the Richie Blackmore,

00:44:59.139 --> 00:45:01.519
you know, the documentary. He said that they

00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:05.260
used to have signs on the wall in England music

00:45:05.260 --> 00:45:08.119
stores saying, if you play Smoke on the Water,

00:45:08.260 --> 00:45:11.840
you're kicked out. Yep. And I've seen the shortened

00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:15.420
version that just says no 035. Because that's

00:45:15.420 --> 00:45:21.019
the chorus, you know, E then G then A, 035. I

00:45:21.019 --> 00:45:24.519
love that. And someone's like, I wonder what

00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:31.000
that, oh. That's what it means. And that's not

00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:34.000
even played right. No, uh -uh. Yeah, the 035.

00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:35.679
That's just the simple version. That's the simple

00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:37.699
version that everybody learns because it's easy.

00:45:37.860 --> 00:45:40.139
Yeah. And that's one that Blackmore hates. Yeah,

00:45:40.139 --> 00:45:42.440
I'm sure. Oh, my gosh. He's like, you dumbed

00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:46.099
down my song. That's not how you play it. Just

00:45:46.099 --> 00:45:48.420
cash your checks, Richie. Yeah, there you go.

00:45:48.519 --> 00:45:52.340
And play your Celtic music. Yes. Yes. With your

00:45:52.340 --> 00:45:55.420
funny hat. And your weird little tights that

00:45:55.420 --> 00:45:59.780
an 80 -year -old man should not wear. And those

00:45:59.780 --> 00:46:02.960
big boots. Those big boots with the flaps on

00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:05.340
them that go up to your knees. They have bells

00:46:05.340 --> 00:46:08.340
on the end. Yeah, probably. And he's got the,

00:46:08.340 --> 00:46:12.380
you know, the, oh, like shoe strings up on the

00:46:12.380 --> 00:46:15.920
top where it cuts down. Yeah, the little laced

00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:19.639
part there. Now he needs like a little chain

00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:24.119
mail or something. We love you, Richie. Yes,

00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:27.300
we do. Thank you for the music. Yes, yeah. A

00:46:27.300 --> 00:46:29.940
lot of really good music. from a lot of different

00:46:29.940 --> 00:46:34.420
bands what a versatile guy really a genius yeah

00:46:34.420 --> 00:46:37.260
one of the best musicians ever in my book yeah

00:46:37.260 --> 00:46:40.940
england put out a lot of them for a small country

00:46:40.940 --> 00:46:43.679
they cranked out a lot of amazing musicians oh

00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:46.219
i know it's amazing how many great musicians

00:46:46.219 --> 00:46:50.679
that they uh cranked out the different types

00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:53.300
of music and the things that they figured out.

00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:56.780
I mean, from the Beatles on, they're constantly

00:46:56.780 --> 00:46:58.920
figuring out new concepts of music like heavy

00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:02.099
metal. I mean, you know, I mean, I only pretty

00:47:02.099 --> 00:47:06.480
much invented that out of accident, out of necessity,

00:47:06.940 --> 00:47:10.239
but it was invented through him. And I think

00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:12.460
wasn't he using like... The guitar strings at

00:47:12.460 --> 00:47:14.480
the time were way too light and thin. You couldn't

00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:16.420
get a decent sound out of them. So he was using

00:47:16.420 --> 00:47:18.760
banjo strings. Banjo strings, yep. Yeah, and

00:47:18.760 --> 00:47:21.300
then finally the string makers said, oh, okay,

00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:22.820
there's a market for these. We'll start making

00:47:22.820 --> 00:47:24.000
bigger strings. They started making them, yep.

00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:27.039
Yeah. And this was out of necessity too because

00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:29.219
there's fingers that were chopped off. We had

00:47:29.219 --> 00:47:33.440
some of them. He had to basically make it sound

00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:37.500
larger and thicker and heavier without more movement.

00:47:37.780 --> 00:47:41.559
Yeah. And he did it. And he had the perfect guitar,

00:47:41.679 --> 00:47:44.400
the Gibson SG. Oh, that's my favorite. It is.

00:47:44.500 --> 00:47:47.860
Mine too. I had an email about, like, if there

00:47:47.860 --> 00:47:51.280
was just a guitar that, to me, sort of represents

00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:54.599
rock and metal, that's mine. Yep. Gibson SG.

00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:58.119
And I gave examples like Iommi and Malcolm Young

00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:01.019
and Angus Young. Yep. They all used SGs. Yep.

00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:04.900
All of the really good tone eccentric people

00:48:04.900 --> 00:48:08.829
used SGs. Yep. So. I have two of them. Yeah,

00:48:08.829 --> 00:48:14.030
they're the best. I've got a black 61 reissue,

00:48:14.050 --> 00:48:20.250
which is... Mine's a 2018, I think. And Angus

00:48:20.250 --> 00:48:22.210
Young uses one. I think it's a slightly different

00:48:22.210 --> 00:48:24.230
year, but it's the exact same production model

00:48:24.230 --> 00:48:30.130
as mine. Really? And then I've got a Gibson SG

00:48:30.130 --> 00:48:34.699
Special. And that has the lightning bolt bridge

00:48:34.699 --> 00:48:38.980
and P90 pickups. It was built as a lower priced

00:48:38.980 --> 00:48:44.739
guitar, but it rocks out. Those P90s sound so

00:48:44.739 --> 00:48:49.119
good through a Marshall. It's amazing. I love

00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:55.539
my SGs. That's cool. Yeah, SGs are the best.

00:48:55.579 --> 00:48:57.760
I'm telling you, the tone, everything, and the

00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:01.309
people that just play them are cool. Yeah. All

00:49:01.309 --> 00:49:04.949
right. Will Rage Against the Machine ever put

00:49:04.949 --> 00:49:09.469
out new music? I think so. I think it will. I

00:49:09.469 --> 00:49:13.309
think the singer will kiss and make up. Zach

00:49:13.309 --> 00:49:17.510
Delaroche, his rap career did not go as planned.

00:49:17.769 --> 00:49:21.730
No. So I'm thinking you're probably right, but

00:49:21.730 --> 00:49:24.389
I'm afraid that the music has probably passed

00:49:24.389 --> 00:49:26.650
him up. Yeah, yeah. And maybe they shouldn't

00:49:26.650 --> 00:49:28.389
go there, but they're probably going to go there.

00:49:28.550 --> 00:49:32.460
Yeah, yeah. they haven't released from back then

00:49:32.460 --> 00:49:34.199
that they could do? I could see that because

00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:37.219
I thought when Zach De La Rocha left the band

00:49:37.219 --> 00:49:39.960
that they did say something about they had unreleased

00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:42.380
stuff or something, but I don't think it ever

00:49:42.380 --> 00:49:45.000
made it to any counter anywhere. Probably not

00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:46.420
because they would have had to get everybody's

00:49:46.420 --> 00:49:49.139
permission. Probably everyone's like, fuck you.

00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:52.139
And I don't know how the deal went with De La

00:49:52.139 --> 00:49:54.019
Rocha and the rest of the band. I don't know

00:49:54.019 --> 00:49:57.219
if it's a big fuck you fest or hey, we understand,

00:49:57.320 --> 00:49:59.840
have a good time or whatever. A lot of bands,

00:49:59.960 --> 00:50:03.920
even ones that had really bad breakups, they're

00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:06.519
realizing that they're leaving money on the table

00:50:06.519 --> 00:50:09.400
if they don't patch things up and get out there

00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:11.039
on the road and take advantage of the people

00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:16.559
who want to see them still. Spinal Tap can get

00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:18.460
back together and do it again. I don't see any

00:50:18.460 --> 00:50:20.320
reason that Rage Against the Machine couldn't.

00:50:20.420 --> 00:50:24.519
That's a good point. I am so over Spinal Tap.

00:50:25.389 --> 00:50:29.050
Me too. I'm not even going to watch it. It seems

00:50:29.050 --> 00:50:32.429
to me that it's fading out already. I watched

00:50:32.429 --> 00:50:34.630
Naked Gun. I finally broke down. Oh, yeah. It

00:50:34.630 --> 00:50:39.230
was good, but you'll never be able to capture

00:50:39.230 --> 00:50:41.989
the original Leslie Nielsen and all that. How

00:50:41.989 --> 00:50:45.469
about just O .J. and the looks and the stuff

00:50:45.469 --> 00:50:48.849
that he did that was just brilliant. He just

00:50:48.849 --> 00:50:54.039
played the O. Morty type of guy. And he knew

00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:56.039
he was. He was having so much fun with it, too.

00:50:56.059 --> 00:50:58.179
He's like, oh, here, let me do this look. Ooh,

00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:03.039
let me do this one. Ah. And he did it so well,

00:51:03.039 --> 00:51:04.980
and he did it so willingly. I just thought it

00:51:04.980 --> 00:51:07.400
was like, this is a guy that is just having fun.

00:51:07.780 --> 00:51:10.780
Yep. Yeah. He's okay with looking goofy. Yeah,

00:51:10.820 --> 00:51:13.480
yeah, and I really respected that. Yeah. There's

00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:15.559
not a whole lot of that going on, and I also

00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:19.219
felt like they could have focused in on a little

00:51:19.219 --> 00:51:21.739
bit more than the Liam Neeson, the lead character.

00:51:22.919 --> 00:51:26.239
Yeah, true. And also Pamela Anderson, the lead

00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:29.659
chick. They could have branched out like the

00:51:29.659 --> 00:51:32.079
first ones where they offered more people doing

00:51:32.079 --> 00:51:35.199
more things that were funny. Yeah, yeah. There

00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:37.340
were a lot of good cameos in the early ones.

00:51:37.500 --> 00:51:39.639
It was good and it was worth watching, but I

00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:42.199
felt it could have been done much better. You

00:51:42.199 --> 00:51:43.960
know what? I don't know if they can necessarily

00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:46.260
do movies that funny anymore. I don't know if

00:51:46.260 --> 00:51:49.619
that type of a... If it's even in people's vocabulary

00:51:49.619 --> 00:51:52.900
anymore to be that funny. Yeah, I know. It really

00:51:52.900 --> 00:51:56.659
seems like it passed us. It may be that they're

00:51:56.659 --> 00:51:59.179
looking at it as, okay, what's funny now, and

00:51:59.179 --> 00:52:01.099
what part of this might be objectionable in 10

00:52:01.099 --> 00:52:04.579
years so where we can't sell it then. Yeah. Or

00:52:04.579 --> 00:52:07.340
here's half a script, give it to the AI and let

00:52:07.340 --> 00:52:09.880
it finish the script. Yeah. Like a lot of that

00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:16.440
stuff, like Arthur, okay? Yeah. This just, people

00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:19.139
today don't get it, but the lady goes to him,

00:52:19.139 --> 00:52:21.579
I forgot her name, goes to Arthur, she goes,

00:52:22.030 --> 00:52:25.369
Give me your hand. And he goes, well, that would

00:52:25.369 --> 00:52:29.050
leave me with one. People don't get that today.

00:52:29.230 --> 00:52:31.469
Just that silly little humor. Yeah, it's like,

00:52:31.530 --> 00:52:36.889
oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah, people don't really

00:52:36.889 --> 00:52:40.130
catch that stuff anymore. They're like, what

00:52:40.130 --> 00:52:42.269
do you mean? You're not actually giving him your

00:52:42.269 --> 00:52:46.389
hand. It's like, you know, this is pretend world.

00:52:46.590 --> 00:52:51.119
This is fake world. Yeah. If they do it at all,

00:52:51.260 --> 00:52:53.900
it's done in the dumb and dumber style where

00:52:53.900 --> 00:52:55.940
instead of a little joke, they slip under the

00:52:55.940 --> 00:52:57.980
door. It's more like they bash the door down

00:52:57.980 --> 00:53:00.079
and then run over you with the joke six times

00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:01.880
and then yell in your face, did you get it? Did

00:53:01.880 --> 00:53:04.800
you get it? Oh, yeah. I mean, that seems to be

00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:07.159
kind of where a lot of humor is. They have to

00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:09.460
be incredibly obvious because most people just

00:53:09.460 --> 00:53:10.739
really aren't paying attention. Aren't paying

00:53:10.739 --> 00:53:14.599
attention, yeah. Yeah, that's what I mean. Something

00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:16.840
like that would leave me wondering if people,

00:53:16.940 --> 00:53:19.599
if they catch it even, would be like, well, where

00:53:19.599 --> 00:53:22.260
do you see that? Have you noticed there's almost

00:53:22.260 --> 00:53:25.380
no movies out there with complex storylines?

00:53:26.369 --> 00:53:28.690
Because nobody can follow it. Nobody's even going

00:53:28.690 --> 00:53:31.070
to bother to try following it. For a while there,

00:53:31.130 --> 00:53:34.070
Netflix was doing concept stuff like that. It

00:53:34.070 --> 00:53:36.150
looks to me like they backed off from it. And

00:53:36.150 --> 00:53:38.869
I think probably because people weren't watching

00:53:38.869 --> 00:53:41.010
it. They watched like, I don't know, 30 minutes

00:53:41.010 --> 00:53:43.449
ago. Eh, that's too much. I don't get it. Yeah.

00:53:43.710 --> 00:53:46.230
But the movies that are more successful are the

00:53:46.230 --> 00:53:48.269
ones that keep reminding you as the movie goes

00:53:48.269 --> 00:53:50.570
along. Okay, here's the story. This is the story.

00:53:50.630 --> 00:53:52.809
Here's the plot points. Okay, this is what happened

00:53:52.809 --> 00:53:55.940
five minutes ago. Remember this. They have to

00:53:55.940 --> 00:53:57.780
keep reminding you every step of the way what

00:53:57.780 --> 00:53:59.960
you just saw 20 minutes ago because you've forgotten

00:53:59.960 --> 00:54:03.719
already. That's true. Yeah. Or before, you know,

00:54:03.800 --> 00:54:06.059
everyone would be sitting around watching and,

00:54:06.059 --> 00:54:08.760
like, wondering and predicting their moves. Hey,

00:54:08.840 --> 00:54:10.639
I think so -and -so is still alive. And you're

00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:12.739
trying to figure it out. Yeah, it's like he's

00:54:12.739 --> 00:54:14.380
going to jump up from the level and kill them

00:54:14.380 --> 00:54:16.639
all. You watch, you know. Yeah. The only way

00:54:16.639 --> 00:54:18.500
to make anything like that successful anymore

00:54:18.500 --> 00:54:22.000
is give people an opportunity to bet on it. You

00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:24.199
know, follow the complex storyline and then bet

00:54:24.199 --> 00:54:27.159
on what happens next. When's that going to start

00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:30.159
happening? It's got to. And they've been talking

00:54:30.159 --> 00:54:33.940
about interactive TV for as long as I've been

00:54:33.940 --> 00:54:36.119
alive. Well, ones that you can insert yourself

00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:38.920
into also. Movies that you can jump into. Yeah.

00:54:38.940 --> 00:54:41.219
And they react to you and see you and talk to

00:54:41.219 --> 00:54:44.980
you. Uh -huh. It's, what do they call it, a hologram

00:54:44.980 --> 00:54:47.940
type. Yeah. That's been talked about and I guess

00:54:47.940 --> 00:54:50.500
done, but it's just not mainstream. It's so hard

00:54:50.500 --> 00:54:53.639
to do. Dead bots. Yeah, dead bots, yeah. Yeah,

00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:57.460
if you want to get scared, look up the digital

00:54:57.460 --> 00:55:00.719
afterlife industry. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I did.

00:55:00.780 --> 00:55:03.400
You told me about that. That's nuts. It's creepy

00:55:03.400 --> 00:55:05.800
as hell. I've got a lot of stuff I'm going to

00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:07.679
report on, and I think I'm going to have to do

00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:11.719
its own segment on it, unless you want to help

00:55:11.719 --> 00:55:14.260
produce one with me and do one about it. Yeah,

00:55:14.260 --> 00:55:16.500
I'll dig up some material for you, absolutely.

00:55:16.860 --> 00:55:19.329
Yeah, we can either, like, recorded together

00:55:19.329 --> 00:55:23.630
or what or i can do it or whatever but um i that

00:55:23.630 --> 00:55:26.630
that's like a focus one that i'd like to do just

00:55:26.630 --> 00:55:29.929
like i'm going to do more little uh quick hits

00:55:29.929 --> 00:55:33.050
or whatever because those things garner a lot

00:55:33.050 --> 00:55:36.050
of hits yeah yeah anytime there's like breaking

00:55:36.050 --> 00:55:39.050
news you know crank one out yeah 10 minutes five

00:55:39.050 --> 00:55:40.849
minutes people are down for that they're like

00:55:40.849 --> 00:55:43.010
oh i got 10 minutes all right here let me listen

00:55:45.530 --> 00:55:48.449
Yeah, it surprised me that it was allowed to

00:55:48.449 --> 00:55:51.250
be used in court. Yes, me too. They had a dead

00:55:51.250 --> 00:55:55.309
person recreated using AI, and that person testified

00:55:55.309 --> 00:56:00.510
during the penalty phase of the trial of the

00:56:00.510 --> 00:56:02.809
person who murdered them. Yeah, isn't that crazy?

00:56:02.809 --> 00:56:05.429
Yeah, it's like bringing John Lennon back from

00:56:05.429 --> 00:56:07.789
the dead so he can go to the parole hearing of

00:56:07.789 --> 00:56:11.809
Mark David Chapman. And the court allowed it.

00:56:11.969 --> 00:56:13.630
Boy, what a way to put it. Yeah, you're right.

00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:17.679
Yeah. When this first started being talked about,

00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:21.239
probably 10, 15, 20 years ago, what I thought

00:56:21.239 --> 00:56:24.440
they were going to do was find people who have

00:56:24.440 --> 00:56:28.000
already died, like James Dean or other Hollywood

00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:31.579
people, Joaquin Phoenix. who died before making

00:56:31.579 --> 00:56:33.559
all sorts of great movies, and then just make

00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:36.840
more movies and use their digital image and recreate

00:56:36.840 --> 00:56:38.880
them so it looks like... Was it Joaquin or River?

00:56:39.099 --> 00:56:41.559
River, whoever. It was River. That's right. Okay.

00:56:41.639 --> 00:56:45.760
All right. Anyhow. Or do it with Amy Winehouse

00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:48.320
and put out new music with her singing it and

00:56:48.320 --> 00:56:51.019
have the AI learn how she sang and what she did

00:56:51.019 --> 00:56:53.719
and recreate her. I think that's going to happen.

00:56:54.340 --> 00:56:58.380
But the way it's mostly being used now is...

00:56:58.190 --> 00:57:03.289
to calm and comfort people by recreating their

00:57:03.289 --> 00:57:07.210
deceased loved ones. But the creepy thing about

00:57:07.210 --> 00:57:11.090
that is it's a subscription service. Access to

00:57:11.090 --> 00:57:13.809
it is a subscription service. Well, we can't

00:57:13.809 --> 00:57:16.889
really afford Uncle Joe anymore. And what the

00:57:16.889 --> 00:57:19.250
company does is if you can't afford the subscription,

00:57:19.449 --> 00:57:22.639
they delete it. It's gone. So it's like killing

00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:25.579
your loved one all over again. Unless you keep

00:57:25.579 --> 00:57:28.420
up the monthly payments. Oh my God, that's evil.

00:57:28.500 --> 00:57:30.219
Isn't that sick? That's evil. They're preying

00:57:30.219 --> 00:57:34.360
on people's sadness and grief to get a monthly

00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:36.460
payment out. Remember when they're doing those

00:57:36.460 --> 00:57:39.460
undercovers and they show it? Uh -huh. Oh, this

00:57:39.460 --> 00:57:43.000
is your mom. You need a really nice pillow. This

00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:47.260
is eternal sleep. Yep. And they're like, yeah,

00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:49.760
you're right. Would you do that to your mommy?

00:57:50.319 --> 00:57:52.760
You make her sleep on a bad pillow the rest of

00:57:52.760 --> 00:57:56.019
her time ever. My wife was really good about

00:57:56.019 --> 00:57:58.019
that when they started trying to do that to her.

00:57:58.119 --> 00:58:00.320
Because she's like, no, this is just the empty

00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:03.119
vessel. My mom and dad, they're up in heaven

00:58:03.119 --> 00:58:05.420
now. This is just the empty vessel they don't

00:58:05.420 --> 00:58:07.760
need anymore. So they don't need some fancy pillow

00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:09.119
to lay their head on because they're not there

00:58:09.119 --> 00:58:11.619
anymore. They've already moved on. This is just

00:58:11.619 --> 00:58:14.099
what the husk left behind. And they're like,

00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:17.980
oh, shit, we don't know how to handle this. I

00:58:17.980 --> 00:58:19.920
bet they backed the fuck off and said, just let

00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:22.119
us know what you think. We gave, you know, we

00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:24.019
spent what we needed to spend, and everything

00:58:24.019 --> 00:58:25.920
was decent and nice, but they were trying to

00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:27.940
talk us into all these extras, like, uh -uh.

00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:30.179
Yeah. To me, that's the same thing that they

00:58:30.179 --> 00:58:31.679
do. Absolutely. Just like they say, eye company.

00:58:31.860 --> 00:58:34.579
Yeah. Now, you brought up a good point that I

00:58:34.579 --> 00:58:36.639
want to go into real quick, and I know this is

00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:38.280
music, but you know what? It's entertainment.

00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:42.719
Entertainment, too. Yes. River Phoenix, his career

00:58:42.719 --> 00:58:45.760
was cut very short. Heath Ledger. That's what

00:58:45.760 --> 00:58:47.059
I was also thinking of. Heath Ledger's another

00:58:47.059 --> 00:58:49.900
good one. Yeah. Oh, you're thinking of Joker.

00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:54.420
The Joker was Joaquin Phoenix. Yeah. Okay, I

00:58:54.420 --> 00:58:56.460
thought you meant his brother River. But, yeah,

00:58:56.579 --> 00:58:59.500
one of the Phoenixes died outside of a nightclub,

00:58:59.579 --> 00:59:02.079
didn't he? Yeah, outside the Viper Club. Yeah.

00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:05.860
I think he OD'd. Yeah. Now, someone like him

00:59:05.860 --> 00:59:08.260
that was cut short or Heath Ledger that was cut

00:59:08.260 --> 00:59:10.559
short, people would still like to see movies

00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:14.239
with him in. Yeah. I would not doubt if the right

00:59:14.239 --> 00:59:16.860
people sold the rights, if they would generate

00:59:16.860 --> 00:59:19.800
movies with them in and again. You know, I think

00:59:19.800 --> 00:59:21.619
something that really opened Hollywood's eyes

00:59:21.619 --> 00:59:24.980
was when they were filming The Crow. And their

00:59:24.980 --> 00:59:28.679
lead actor, Brandon Lee, was killed during production.

00:59:29.099 --> 00:59:31.739
But they still managed to finish the movie using

00:59:31.739 --> 00:59:34.900
a body double and a stand -in filmed from behind.

00:59:35.679 --> 00:59:39.639
And I think it really opened their eyes. Everyone

00:59:39.639 --> 00:59:41.679
knows that he's dead and he didn't finish this

00:59:41.679 --> 00:59:43.860
movie, but they don't care. They want to see

00:59:43.860 --> 00:59:46.119
it anyway. It made me want to see it more. This

00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:48.480
is the last movie ever. And they even had an

00:59:48.480 --> 00:59:50.719
extended version released. And then there was

00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:53.639
a sequel. And it's like, that opened their eyes.

00:59:53.699 --> 00:59:56.380
Like, people will pay. We'll fake up the dead

00:59:56.380 --> 00:59:58.260
person who isn't here anymore, and that's going

00:59:58.260 --> 01:00:00.179
to be good enough for enough people that we'll

01:00:00.179 --> 01:00:02.460
make money on this. Yeah, that's true. There

01:00:02.460 --> 01:00:04.900
will be people who will never go see it. It's

01:00:04.900 --> 01:00:06.920
like, no, that's not him. It's just fake. It's

01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:09.619
not good enough. But enough people will go. There

01:00:09.619 --> 01:00:13.019
was enough of him in the first game that he was

01:00:13.019 --> 01:00:16.809
really there before he was killed. that I was

01:00:16.809 --> 01:00:19.949
willing to go see it. And I understand that they

01:00:19.949 --> 01:00:22.429
had to do the stuff from behind and all that

01:00:22.429 --> 01:00:26.469
stuff. And that's fine. I get it. Do you remember

01:00:26.469 --> 01:00:29.250
a movie in the 80s from Steve Martin called Dead

01:00:29.250 --> 01:00:33.130
Men Don't Wear Plaid? Yeah. They did a different

01:00:33.130 --> 01:00:35.949
take on that where they took actual movie clips

01:00:35.949 --> 01:00:39.070
from historic movies. and then inserted Steve

01:00:39.070 --> 01:00:41.409
Martin in them. They matched the colors, they

01:00:41.409 --> 01:00:43.329
matched the movement, they matched the lighting,

01:00:43.449 --> 01:00:45.690
and it really looked like Steve Martin was doing

01:00:45.690 --> 01:00:48.869
a scene with Humphrey Bogart or Claude Rains

01:00:48.869 --> 01:00:52.150
or all these different Hollywood legends. Man,

01:00:52.929 --> 01:00:55.809
that's a forgotten movie. It is. The movie kind

01:00:55.809 --> 01:01:00.480
of bombed, but the technology was amazing. At

01:01:00.480 --> 01:01:02.719
the time, it looked flawless. And I watched it

01:01:02.719 --> 01:01:05.019
a few years later for a second time, and it still

01:01:05.019 --> 01:01:06.980
looked pretty damn good. I'll have to go back

01:01:06.980 --> 01:01:10.219
and revisit that because I don't remember that

01:01:10.219 --> 01:01:13.599
much about it. Yeah. It was supposed to be some

01:01:13.599 --> 01:01:20.349
30s film noir, kind of a dark. atmosphere and

01:01:20.349 --> 01:01:22.210
he was like a private detective and there was

01:01:22.210 --> 01:01:25.210
some vast conspiracy. Yeah, yeah. Movies of that

01:01:25.210 --> 01:01:28.710
time usually involved Nazis and communists because

01:01:28.710 --> 01:01:30.309
it was the 30s. Yeah, they were the bad guys.

01:01:30.929 --> 01:01:35.869
Which they are, but you know. Yeah, he was doing

01:01:35.869 --> 01:01:38.989
like The Jerk and planes, trains, and automobiles

01:01:38.989 --> 01:01:42.269
and Saturday Night Live. And that movie really

01:01:42.269 --> 01:01:45.269
didn't fit the mold of all the other ones? No,

01:01:45.289 --> 01:01:47.550
and he said he made it because he loved those

01:01:47.550 --> 01:01:49.690
style of movies, and he wanted to do something

01:01:49.690 --> 01:01:52.550
to commemorate them and celebrate them, and he

01:01:52.550 --> 01:01:54.809
was hoping to revive interest in preserving them,

01:01:54.909 --> 01:01:58.570
etc. And what a great way to showcase how good

01:01:58.570 --> 01:02:01.929
you are. Yeah. You insert yourself in a classic,

01:02:02.010 --> 01:02:05.210
and you're going along with them doing the same

01:02:05.210 --> 01:02:07.289
thing, playing in there. I mean, I think that's

01:02:07.289 --> 01:02:09.889
a brilliant concept myself. And it'd be nice

01:02:09.889 --> 01:02:12.130
if they redid it with the right person. Yeah,

01:02:12.150 --> 01:02:18.389
yeah. All right. Is there any place for the trombone

01:02:18.389 --> 01:02:24.469
in metal music? Ooh. No, I'm going to say no.

01:02:24.650 --> 01:02:27.630
No, you could have it in Sgt. Pepper's. Yeah.

01:02:28.429 --> 01:02:32.710
That's about it. Gosh. Yeah, that's it. Sgt.

01:02:32.789 --> 01:02:35.469
Pepper. Any kind of low brass just really doesn't

01:02:35.469 --> 01:02:39.179
fit in. No. No, no. You remember a band called

01:02:39.179 --> 01:02:43.039
Morphine? A little bit, yeah. It was a bass player,

01:02:43.260 --> 01:02:46.320
a drummer, and then a guy who played two saxophones

01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:51.880
simultaneously. That rings a bell. And they played

01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:55.619
very low, kind of downer kind of music. Yeah,

01:02:55.619 --> 01:02:58.940
yeah, yeah. I remember a little bit of that.

01:02:59.179 --> 01:03:02.739
Yeah. They never really went anywhere, but it

01:03:02.739 --> 01:03:06.119
was such an unusual band. And the musical style

01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:12.010
was kind of... out there. Maybe a saxophone could

01:03:12.010 --> 01:03:16.230
fit in with metal, because you can distort and

01:03:16.230 --> 01:03:18.469
overdrive a saxophone pretty hard, and it still

01:03:18.469 --> 01:03:21.110
sounds awesome. Saxophone was great with Foreigner.

01:03:21.110 --> 01:03:23.010
Look how well they incorporated that. I mean,

01:03:23.090 --> 01:03:27.889
Meatloaf. Yeah. I think my favorite saxophone

01:03:27.889 --> 01:03:31.750
song is from Traffic, and it's called The Low

01:03:31.750 --> 01:03:36.610
Spark of High -Heeled Boys. and it is at least

01:03:36.610 --> 01:03:40.389
two saxophone solos in there. And I don't know

01:03:40.389 --> 01:03:42.090
who that sax player is. I have to look it up.

01:03:42.090 --> 01:03:45.789
It is amazing. They do things to that saxophone

01:03:45.789 --> 01:03:49.489
I didn't think you could do. And it's a really,

01:03:49.570 --> 01:03:53.929
it's kind of a slow, moody song, but Steve Winwood's

01:03:53.929 --> 01:03:55.909
vocals are just perfect on it. I have to listen

01:03:55.909 --> 01:03:58.110
to that. Yeah, it's a long song. It's about 11

01:03:58.110 --> 01:04:01.320
minutes, 9 to 11 minutes long. There's so much

01:04:01.320 --> 01:04:07.119
saxophone solo. I love it. Now, bagpipes have

01:04:07.119 --> 01:04:09.780
been used in rock music, too. Bagpipes are awesome.

01:04:10.039 --> 01:04:11.820
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock

01:04:11.820 --> 01:04:17.500
and roll. It was in there. There was a song called

01:04:17.500 --> 01:04:22.039
Big Country. Yeah. They used some bagpipes in

01:04:22.039 --> 01:04:26.659
there. Who the hell was that? The name of the

01:04:26.659 --> 01:04:31.690
band was Big Country. And I think the song was

01:04:31.690 --> 01:04:34.190
Big Country. It was. Yeah. And then there was

01:04:34.190 --> 01:04:36.789
the church under the Milky Way. Yeah. There's

01:04:36.789 --> 01:04:39.590
a bagpipe solo right there towards the end. Yeah.

01:04:40.050 --> 01:04:41.710
And there's some other ones where they don't

01:04:41.710 --> 01:04:44.010
use the full pipes, they just use the, not the

01:04:44.010 --> 01:04:47.050
bagpipes, but the small pipes. I love the way

01:04:47.050 --> 01:04:49.469
the elders plays everything. Yeah. They even

01:04:49.469 --> 01:04:55.130
play the pan, everything. Very cool. A sax that

01:04:55.130 --> 01:04:58.090
I like, just a solo, was actually off a Rocky

01:04:58.090 --> 01:05:02.279
Horror Picture Show, and it was me though. Hot

01:05:02.279 --> 01:05:04.860
Petunia, Bless My Soul was the song. Yeah, and

01:05:04.860 --> 01:05:07.260
he just goes nuts on that. That was a good sax

01:05:07.260 --> 01:05:12.159
solo. It was. He could play sax very well. He

01:05:12.159 --> 01:05:14.840
got eaten, though. Yeah, he got eaten, so it

01:05:14.840 --> 01:05:16.360
didn't matter. Well, at first, didn't he get

01:05:16.360 --> 01:05:20.920
beaten to death and stabbed? Yes, first Dr. Frank

01:05:20.920 --> 01:05:23.940
beat him to death with an ice axe, an ice pick,

01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:27.800
and then served him for dinner. Yes, and that's

01:05:27.800 --> 01:05:32.219
because his monster that he made, his beautiful

01:05:32.219 --> 01:05:36.960
creation, liked him playing saxophone. Yep, yep.

01:05:37.079 --> 01:05:41.079
What a show, what a movie. He even fed him to

01:05:41.079 --> 01:05:45.119
his own uncle. Yeah, he did, yep. Uncle Scott

01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:47.699
was at the table. Speaking of Eddie, that's a

01:05:47.699 --> 01:05:50.280
rather tender subject. He pulls the tablecloth

01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:55.980
back and there's the carcass. I finally got my

01:05:55.980 --> 01:05:57.840
wife to watch that movie, and she thought, that

01:05:57.840 --> 01:06:00.539
was okay. She liked the music, but the rest of

01:06:00.539 --> 01:06:02.559
it, she's like, eh, it's okay. What's his name,

01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:05.739
Tim Curry? Tim Curry, yeah. Oh, he was, jeez.

01:06:06.280 --> 01:06:09.099
I'm so glad that he has recovered quite a bit

01:06:09.099 --> 01:06:11.239
from his stroke, and he's no longer in such bad

01:06:11.239 --> 01:06:15.880
shape. Because he was really just kind of a wheelchair

01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:17.960
-bound lump for a while. Yeah, he was horrible

01:06:17.960 --> 01:06:21.619
for a while. Oh, along that level, Vince Neal

01:06:21.619 --> 01:06:24.079
is looking much better. I saw a recent one, I

01:06:24.079 --> 01:06:26.679
think like last night or the night before. He

01:06:26.679 --> 01:06:29.239
looked okay. Dude was going to die soon if he

01:06:29.239 --> 01:06:31.199
just kept going the way he's doing. You could

01:06:31.199 --> 01:06:33.619
look at him and tell him his body was struggling.

01:06:34.199 --> 01:06:37.000
Yeah, he's still overweight. He needs to do something

01:06:37.000 --> 01:06:40.380
about it really bad. He's like 60 or 60 -something,

01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:43.920
and he's got this huge gut on him, which is not

01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:46.219
good. And part of that is probably a swollen

01:06:46.219 --> 01:06:50.400
liver. Probably. Look, I think he's done things

01:06:50.400 --> 01:06:52.480
to his body he's never going to exactly recover

01:06:52.480 --> 01:06:55.139
from. Or tell us about. Or tell us about, yeah.

01:06:57.039 --> 01:07:00.739
All right. Now, I'm going to go into a preface,

01:07:00.840 --> 01:07:06.079
whatever you want to call it, a little explanation

01:07:06.079 --> 01:07:08.679
of what I'm getting ready to ask. Okay. Okay,

01:07:08.719 --> 01:07:10.880
you're familiar with the Pantera breakup, right?

01:07:11.079 --> 01:07:15.519
Yes. All right. Phil Insamo was in a huge scuffle

01:07:15.519 --> 01:07:20.760
with Dimebag. Yes. Okay. Phil Ansamo, who said

01:07:20.760 --> 01:07:26.059
that Dimebag needed to be beaten to death. Not

01:07:26.059 --> 01:07:29.380
a good thing to say. A few weeks later, an insane

01:07:29.380 --> 01:07:31.860
man jumped on stage and shot that man to death

01:07:31.860 --> 01:07:34.139
on stage. Right in front of his brother. Right

01:07:34.139 --> 01:07:37.960
in front of his brother. Of course, there's horrible

01:07:37.960 --> 01:07:41.119
feelings. People were calling for a reunion.

01:07:41.519 --> 01:07:45.679
Vinnie Paul said, no way. Without my brother,

01:07:45.820 --> 01:07:50.599
it cannot be Pantera. Okay, well, tragically,

01:07:50.619 --> 01:07:52.920
Vinnie Paul died from a heart attack a few years

01:07:52.920 --> 01:07:58.739
later. So there's only one person, well, there's

01:07:58.739 --> 01:08:02.360
two people left in the band, and they wanted

01:08:02.360 --> 01:08:06.739
to do a reunion. Dimebag's best friend is Zach

01:08:06.739 --> 01:08:09.820
Wild. Oh, wow, yeah. And Zach Wild can play just

01:08:09.820 --> 01:08:13.599
like him. So after these two gentlemen died that

01:08:13.599 --> 01:08:19.329
was in the way, Rex Brown... And Phil Ansamo

01:08:19.329 --> 01:08:22.390
got together with Zach Wild, and I forgot who

01:08:22.390 --> 01:08:27.449
the drummer is. I don't know who could play Vinnie

01:08:27.449 --> 01:08:31.250
Pol's parts. Is that by that guy who was fast,

01:08:31.270 --> 01:08:33.949
precise, and manly to hit hard? Oh, he was good,

01:08:34.069 --> 01:08:36.489
yeah. I mean, Kenny Aronoff can hit that hard,

01:08:36.529 --> 01:08:38.189
but I don't think he can play that style. Yeah,

01:08:38.189 --> 01:08:41.630
I can't remember who took the drumming, but the

01:08:41.630 --> 01:08:45.590
thing is, do you personally support knowing all

01:08:45.590 --> 01:08:49.149
of this about how, Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell

01:08:49.149 --> 01:08:51.930
felt, well, Vinnie Paul, Dimebag was already

01:08:51.930 --> 01:08:55.710
dead. How he felt about a reunion, and especially

01:08:55.710 --> 01:08:59.829
what was said about his brother, and that could

01:08:59.829 --> 01:09:03.050
have possibly led to maybe the shooting. You

01:09:03.050 --> 01:09:06.340
know, I think - What Vinnie Paul was trying to

01:09:06.340 --> 01:09:10.060
say was any reunion that includes Phillip Anselmo

01:09:10.060 --> 01:09:12.279
is not going to happen. Bingo, that's what I

01:09:12.279 --> 01:09:14.140
was thinking too. So if this one's going to include

01:09:14.140 --> 01:09:17.079
him, then that's kind of spitting into Dimebag

01:09:17.079 --> 01:09:19.539
Darrell's face. Well, Zach Wild was best friends

01:09:19.539 --> 01:09:23.420
with Dimebag. Yeah. So, to me, I'm like you.

01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:25.579
I'm like, I'm not sure if there's that respect

01:09:25.579 --> 01:09:28.439
for him. Yeah, especially when his brother said

01:09:28.439 --> 01:09:31.859
no. His brother was adamant about it. And he

01:09:31.859 --> 01:09:33.819
was diplomatic. He could have said, I'm never

01:09:33.819 --> 01:09:35.899
playing with that motherfucker again. Yeah, but

01:09:35.899 --> 01:09:38.199
I'm sure he didn't want people to go after Phillip

01:09:38.199 --> 01:09:40.520
Anselmo and do to him what happened to Dimebag.

01:09:40.520 --> 01:09:42.579
Yeah, so he was like very diplomatic and said,

01:09:42.619 --> 01:09:46.880
without my brother, it cannot be a review. So,

01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:51.180
I love Zach. Rex Brown, I have no problems with,

01:09:51.239 --> 01:09:56.500
but to me, I think... I think it's a bad idea.

01:09:56.739 --> 01:09:58.779
Phillip Anselmo, I don't have any problems with

01:09:58.779 --> 01:10:03.000
either. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. To me, it's

01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:06.039
kind of not that good. Yeah, when all you got

01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:08.859
left is the bass player and the singer, and the

01:10:08.859 --> 01:10:11.560
singer was half the problem, it's not really

01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:14.819
the band. It just isn't. I agree. Yeah. I agree.

01:10:15.300 --> 01:10:20.199
So, okay. Okay, yeah, that's good. I mean, but

01:10:20.199 --> 01:10:23.199
the only good thing is I never got to see Pantera

01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:27.079
live. Yeah. If it had come by close enough, I

01:10:27.079 --> 01:10:29.779
would actually entertain it. Yeah, I would too.

01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:33.439
if nothing else, just to hear the songs. Yeah,

01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:35.739
to hear the songs. Like we went and saw Jerry

01:10:35.739 --> 01:10:37.739
Cantrell, and that's the only chance I'm going

01:10:37.739 --> 01:10:39.479
to get to hear Alice in Chains songs. Yeah, that's

01:10:39.479 --> 01:10:40.880
why I thought we should have went for it, and

01:10:40.880 --> 01:10:42.640
we did, and that was great. And it was great

01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:44.779
seeing the legend like that on stage, which would

01:10:44.779 --> 01:10:48.079
be the same. I mean, I've seen Zach Wild enough

01:10:48.079 --> 01:10:52.279
times, but Phil Anselmo, only way I'm ever going

01:10:52.279 --> 01:10:56.000
to see him. Now that show definitely would have

01:10:56.000 --> 01:10:59.720
a mosh pit. Yes, it would. Yeah. Actually, I

01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:02.100
did see Phil Insomo. I forgot. What was the name

01:11:02.100 --> 01:11:05.220
of his band? Down or something like that? I don't

01:11:05.220 --> 01:11:09.420
remember. They played at the Beaumont Club. Oh,

01:11:09.420 --> 01:11:11.600
wow. Okay. You know what? I stand corrected on

01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:14.420
that by myself. Yeah? I did see that. All right.

01:11:18.500 --> 01:11:21.800
I'll look up Philip Insomo. Okay. Yeah. I can't

01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:24.460
remember. Stone the Crow might have been another

01:11:24.460 --> 01:11:29.859
one too. I think that's the song Stone the Crown.

01:11:31.500 --> 01:11:37.800
Member of Pantera, Down, M Minor, Philip H. Anselmo

01:11:37.800 --> 01:11:41.159
and the Illegals, and Scour. Okay. Yeah, I've

01:11:41.159 --> 01:11:45.460
seen Down at the Beaumont Club. Yeah. So I did

01:11:45.460 --> 01:11:49.000
see Philip Anselmo. So, okay. Previous bands

01:11:49.000 --> 01:11:51.819
are Super Joint, Arson Anthem, Viking Crown,

01:11:52.180 --> 01:11:56.159
Necrophagia, Ibon, Christ Inversion, and Razor

01:11:56.159 --> 01:12:00.039
White. Jeez. And also Pussy Pantera, the one

01:12:00.039 --> 01:12:05.020
in the 80s. Yes, the glam one. Yes, the one for

01:12:05.020 --> 01:12:09.899
Barbies, the Barbie doll Pantera. And then they

01:12:09.899 --> 01:12:13.199
became Cowboys from Hell. Yes. And never looked

01:12:13.199 --> 01:12:20.180
back. Yes. Then they have songs like Walk. Yes.

01:12:21.180 --> 01:12:25.020
Talking to me. You better get out sucking. That

01:12:25.020 --> 01:12:29.619
was pretty good. Or the famous vulgar display

01:12:29.619 --> 01:12:33.880
of power. Yes. I've got that one. Yeah, the artwork

01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:36.199
on the front of it. Yeah. Where a fist is just

01:12:36.199 --> 01:12:38.779
destroying somebody's face. I wonder whose face

01:12:38.779 --> 01:12:41.859
that is. I don't know. But he's getting the shit

01:12:41.859 --> 01:12:43.920
knocked out of him. Yeah, that looks like a broken

01:12:43.920 --> 01:12:47.300
jaw for sure. Yeah, that was funny. Yeah, oh

01:12:47.300 --> 01:12:50.920
yeah, yeah, probably. crooked nose out of the

01:12:50.920 --> 01:12:53.960
deal too. I imagine they curb stomped him too.

01:12:54.039 --> 01:12:55.619
It looked like they were pretty pissed at him.

01:12:55.659 --> 01:12:57.960
I don't know what he did. Fucking stole his fucking

01:12:57.960 --> 01:13:00.960
lunch money or some shit. There should be a meme

01:13:00.960 --> 01:13:04.119
of Andy doing that to Travis Kelsey. There is.

01:13:05.920 --> 01:13:09.819
There's a couple of them. Alright. Would you,

01:13:09.979 --> 01:13:12.600
this is final, this is it. Would you ever spend

01:13:12.600 --> 01:13:17.020
40 bucks on a concert t -shirt at a show? Is

01:13:17.020 --> 01:13:19.199
there one of them that could do it? I think there's

01:13:19.199 --> 01:13:22.680
one of them that could do it. Yeah, maybe once.

01:13:23.899 --> 01:13:26.239
There was some of them that I really entertained

01:13:26.239 --> 01:13:28.319
getting and I'd pay a good price to get right

01:13:28.319 --> 01:13:32.640
now. There's some lost Aussie t -shirts with

01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:37.380
Jakey Lee. After Jakey Lee was fired from the

01:13:37.380 --> 01:13:43.640
band and Zach came in, there's some sort of allergen

01:13:43.640 --> 01:13:47.489
in there that's getting me right now. They just

01:13:47.489 --> 01:13:50.869
forgot about those. They weren't really a concert

01:13:50.869 --> 01:13:53.090
promoted one or nothing. It was just ones that

01:13:53.090 --> 01:13:56.350
they had to have. Like you go to the show and

01:13:56.350 --> 01:13:58.850
the main one would be like Ozzy and Jake on the

01:13:58.850 --> 01:14:01.090
front where he's grabbing his hair or some shit.

01:14:01.649 --> 01:14:05.510
But this one was just one -offs. And a couple

01:14:05.510 --> 01:14:06.909
of them didn't even have Ozzy in it. It was like

01:14:06.909 --> 01:14:10.149
Jake and some other things. So I entertained

01:14:10.149 --> 01:14:12.630
buying one of those for a decent hefty price

01:14:12.630 --> 01:14:15.590
just because I want one. So I think there is

01:14:15.590 --> 01:14:18.130
something that could appeal to me for $40. Yeah.

01:14:18.289 --> 01:14:24.369
What about you? Yeah, yeah. Something that really

01:14:24.369 --> 01:14:27.750
represents a lot from the artist or some kind

01:14:27.750 --> 01:14:31.050
of commemorative thing. Yeah. Like a big final

01:14:31.050 --> 01:14:34.949
event or a reunion or something like that. But

01:14:34.949 --> 01:14:38.659
a vintage one, if they could find one. I remember

01:14:38.659 --> 01:14:40.439
back in the 70s, at the end of the tour, they'd

01:14:40.439 --> 01:14:42.500
throw all that shit away. Oh, I know. It's like,

01:14:42.560 --> 01:14:44.260
we're never going to sell this, and they'd just

01:14:44.260 --> 01:14:47.260
throw it away. There's like hundreds and hundreds

01:14:47.260 --> 01:14:49.380
of thousands of dollars worth of T -shirts and

01:14:49.380 --> 01:14:51.180
hats and shit they just threw away because they

01:14:51.180 --> 01:14:54.060
never thought it was worth saving. One of those

01:14:54.060 --> 01:14:57.859
old, traditional, vintage ones from the 70s,

01:14:57.859 --> 01:15:00.539
I'd pay a lot for it. Oh, I would too. The one

01:15:00.539 --> 01:15:02.560
that I'm looking for is the famous black and

01:15:02.560 --> 01:15:06.779
blue. Black Sabbath Blue Oyster Colt. Oh, yeah.

01:15:07.100 --> 01:15:10.479
The one with Dio is a 1980 tour that they split

01:15:10.479 --> 01:15:13.000
with Dio because they did not a full tour, but

01:15:13.000 --> 01:15:19.180
they did play with Bach before. Yeah. So I would

01:15:19.180 --> 01:15:21.739
love to have that one. Yeah. But it's got to

01:15:21.739 --> 01:15:23.520
be the right one because they have ones for just

01:15:23.520 --> 01:15:25.659
Sabbath only and for Blue Oyster Cult. They have

01:15:25.659 --> 01:15:28.399
one that had both bands on it. Yeah, make it

01:15:28.399 --> 01:15:29.920
rare. The front was Sabbath and the back was

01:15:29.920 --> 01:15:33.199
Blue Oyster Cult. Oh, yeah. And the front of

01:15:33.199 --> 01:15:36.180
it said Black and Blue, 1980. Yeah. And then

01:15:36.180 --> 01:15:39.439
the back of it had the tour stops. Yeah, I always

01:15:39.439 --> 01:15:41.199
liked the one with the tour dates on it because

01:15:41.199 --> 01:15:43.079
then you knew it was a tour t -shirt. It was

01:15:43.079 --> 01:15:45.760
a tour shirt, yeah. And then you could find your

01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:47.220
own city on there. I said, look, there's where

01:15:47.220 --> 01:15:53.039
I am. Right there, Kansas City. All right, all

01:15:53.039 --> 01:15:55.819
I got is one more story after this. Sure. Okay,

01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:57.680
you want me to go ahead? Go ahead. I'm kind of

01:15:57.680 --> 01:16:00.170
tapped out here. Did you know that Richie Kotzen,

01:16:00.329 --> 01:16:03.329
you know, formerly of Poison and his own band

01:16:03.329 --> 01:16:07.470
and Winery Dogs and a couple other things, he

01:16:07.470 --> 01:16:11.390
nearly joined Ozzy's band in 1995. Wow. Zach

01:16:11.390 --> 01:16:14.029
Wild left. They were kind of at odds and everything.

01:16:14.189 --> 01:16:16.670
I think it's kind of a famous story by now. Yeah.

01:16:16.729 --> 01:16:21.550
They made up. He came back. But after Zach left,

01:16:21.789 --> 01:16:25.010
participating in meetings and sending music for

01:16:25.010 --> 01:16:28.539
the band, Richie Kotzen was doing this. He was

01:16:28.539 --> 01:16:30.460
actually going to meetings and sending music.

01:16:30.779 --> 01:16:35.000
And so the opportunity was lost when a friend

01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:38.079
leaked the news of his potential hire on an AOL

01:16:38.079 --> 01:16:41.460
chat room. Oh, man. Which caused negative fan

01:16:41.460 --> 01:16:47.220
reaction due to him being in Poison. Wow. In

01:16:47.220 --> 01:16:49.960
the 80s. No one liked the fact that a Poison

01:16:49.960 --> 01:16:52.119
guitarist was going to play with Ozzy. Yeah.

01:16:52.119 --> 01:16:53.819
And they're all motherfucking... Because it was

01:16:53.819 --> 01:16:56.659
like grandpa music. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, so they...

01:16:56.659 --> 01:17:00.920
Gosh. Yeah, so they ended up not hiring him.

01:17:01.539 --> 01:17:03.380
Makes you wonder if that was intentional to kind

01:17:03.380 --> 01:17:05.380
of test the waters, say, hey, let's find out

01:17:05.380 --> 01:17:06.819
what they really think and whether this would

01:17:06.819 --> 01:17:09.020
be accepted. I thought of that, too, and have

01:17:09.020 --> 01:17:11.100
someone go in there and it's overwhelmingly no.

01:17:11.300 --> 01:17:14.119
Yeah. Because I think that any time that you're

01:17:14.119 --> 01:17:16.439
in a band like Poison, and no offense to him,

01:17:16.500 --> 01:17:19.220
but I think if people are going to question what

01:17:19.220 --> 01:17:21.939
you shouldn't on him, he's very talented, very

01:17:21.939 --> 01:17:23.979
talented, really good guitarist, good singer.

01:17:27.150 --> 01:17:32.489
I think it's, yeah. Hey, how you doing? Yeah,

01:17:32.649 --> 01:17:35.109
you're a crazy train. Yeah. Some AI heard us

01:17:35.109 --> 01:17:37.789
talking about it. Yep, decided to play it. It

01:17:37.789 --> 01:17:45.050
was Spotify AI. Yes. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's

01:17:45.050 --> 01:17:47.149
all I got. All right. Well, you mentioned Spotify.

01:17:47.289 --> 01:17:51.189
I'll bring up something. Okay. There are some

01:17:51.189 --> 01:17:52.930
people who still apparently have a big love affair

01:17:52.930 --> 01:17:55.710
with Spotify, and they put their playlists on

01:17:55.710 --> 01:17:59.260
there. There's a reaction video series I follow,

01:17:59.340 --> 01:18:01.579
and the guy puts his favorite songs on the Spotify

01:18:01.579 --> 01:18:07.539
playlist. But Spotify was recently accused and

01:18:07.539 --> 01:18:11.079
then admitted that they have AI music farms,

01:18:11.199 --> 01:18:14.460
where they have AI just creating a lot of fake

01:18:14.460 --> 01:18:17.159
bands with fake background stories and fake album

01:18:17.159 --> 01:18:20.479
art and putting out AI -generated music and passing

01:18:20.479 --> 01:18:24.100
it off as real human beings. So Spotify just

01:18:24.100 --> 01:18:28.000
has whole farms cranking out fake music. And

01:18:28.000 --> 01:18:29.939
they're charging people for it. And they're charging

01:18:29.939 --> 01:18:31.319
people for it. Yeah. They have a subscription

01:18:31.319 --> 01:18:33.039
service. It's like, we're just going to make

01:18:33.039 --> 01:18:34.819
up shit out of thin air, and you're going to

01:18:34.819 --> 01:18:38.119
pay for it. Wow. And they finally admitted it

01:18:38.119 --> 01:18:40.220
and said, yeah, we've kind of been doing that.

01:18:40.260 --> 01:18:45.220
Sorry. Sorry. Here's our hand. Smack. Yep. Okay,

01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:48.399
we're done. Thank you. Learned my lesson. Turned

01:18:48.399 --> 01:18:52.359
a corner. Never again. So I have a problem with

01:18:52.359 --> 01:18:55.380
Spotify because, number one, that's faking out

01:18:55.380 --> 01:18:57.399
the customers. Number two, that's taking earnings

01:18:57.399 --> 01:19:00.220
away from actual real living human beings who

01:19:00.220 --> 01:19:04.560
made music. Well, Spotify, I'm having too much

01:19:04.560 --> 01:19:06.239
fun with. I'm eventually going to quit them.

01:19:06.460 --> 01:19:10.100
Their algorithms and AI I love to screw with

01:19:10.100 --> 01:19:14.399
because they come back at you. And they figure

01:19:14.399 --> 01:19:16.560
out ways constantly. No matter what I do, they

01:19:16.560 --> 01:19:19.180
figure out ways. yeah they figured out when i

01:19:19.180 --> 01:19:21.880
was at work and i couldn't get to the uh get

01:19:21.880 --> 01:19:24.899
to the phone quick enough to stop it when a commercial

01:19:24.899 --> 01:19:27.560
come on so they crammed four in yeah right there

01:19:27.560 --> 01:19:32.479
so then i was uh out in the parking lot and i

01:19:32.479 --> 01:19:34.779
didn't go home yet and i was doing that and i

01:19:34.779 --> 01:19:37.239
waited for the first four spot to come up and

01:19:37.239 --> 01:19:40.619
i shut it off and i didn't go back to it for

01:19:40.619 --> 01:19:43.890
a month whoa yeah So now they give me one commercial

01:19:43.890 --> 01:19:46.529
at a time. Right now it's behaving. It's going

01:19:46.529 --> 01:19:49.289
to start getting bold again. Yeah. It's going

01:19:49.289 --> 01:19:51.649
to be one commercial at a time about every 15

01:19:51.649 --> 01:19:54.630
minutes. Yeah. Which is okay. It's like a 30

01:19:54.630 --> 01:19:57.989
-second spot. Yeah, that's not so bad. No. But

01:19:57.989 --> 01:19:59.609
it learned its lesson. It's kind of like, this

01:19:59.609 --> 01:20:01.850
guy's playing hardball. Yeah. He just shut us

01:20:01.850 --> 01:20:05.270
off for good. Well, I'm still trying to teach

01:20:05.270 --> 01:20:07.890
YouTube that I want the video first and not a

01:20:07.890 --> 01:20:09.390
commercial. YouTube's a bastard. It's working

01:20:09.390 --> 01:20:13.609
pretty well. It is working. I have to keep on

01:20:13.609 --> 01:20:16.949
them because if I get distracted and the ads

01:20:16.949 --> 01:20:18.909
pop up and I don't jump right on them. Spotify,

01:20:19.109 --> 01:20:21.250
yeah, they take advantage. They're like, hey,

01:20:21.649 --> 01:20:26.670
he's not looking. Come on over. So I've noticed

01:20:26.670 --> 01:20:30.250
they've added a second advertisement to my recommended

01:20:30.250 --> 01:20:33.409
videos. Because now when I bring up YouTube,

01:20:33.750 --> 01:20:36.270
it goes, the first line is recommended for you,

01:20:36.289 --> 01:20:39.470
and the first one's an advertisement. And that's

01:20:39.470 --> 01:20:42.300
been that way for like a month or so. And now

01:20:42.300 --> 01:20:44.319
if I scroll down, the fourth or fifth one is

01:20:44.319 --> 01:20:46.939
also an advertisement. So now they're starting

01:20:46.939 --> 01:20:49.340
to work even more. Pretty soon, the majority

01:20:49.340 --> 01:20:51.520
of the recommended videos are just going to be

01:20:51.520 --> 01:20:57.899
ads. The next thing that YouTube is doing to

01:20:57.899 --> 01:21:02.039
try to combat me, usually what I'll do is I'll

01:21:02.039 --> 01:21:03.800
start the video and then I'll look down the lower

01:21:03.800 --> 01:21:06.319
right -hand corner and see if that... The timer

01:21:06.319 --> 01:21:08.380
pops up saying, you know, five seconds until

01:21:08.380 --> 01:21:11.279
you can skip. And as soon as I see it, I back

01:21:11.279 --> 01:21:12.979
out because I know, well, this is an ad. It's

01:21:12.979 --> 01:21:15.399
not the video. So what it's starting to do now

01:21:15.399 --> 01:21:17.520
is run the ad for about two or three seconds

01:21:17.520 --> 01:21:21.619
and then bring up the timer. Oh, so you're dedicating

01:21:21.619 --> 01:21:24.239
that. Yeah, so I have to pay really close attention

01:21:24.239 --> 01:21:27.460
and see whether it's an ad or my show, which

01:21:27.460 --> 01:21:29.720
means they're getting me to pay attention. And

01:21:29.720 --> 01:21:31.520
they run the ad for two or three seconds, and

01:21:31.520 --> 01:21:33.899
they make sure that the product's logo is always

01:21:33.899 --> 01:21:37.449
in that first second or two. And then I back

01:21:37.449 --> 01:21:40.010
out. I'm sure they still get paid for it. I think

01:21:40.010 --> 01:21:41.630
they're still getting paid for that, so they've

01:21:41.630 --> 01:21:42.949
figured out. Then we'll go through that amount

01:21:42.949 --> 01:21:44.970
of trouble that we're not getting paid for it.

01:21:45.010 --> 01:21:47.329
And then the last sneaky thing they're doing

01:21:47.329 --> 01:21:50.050
is sometimes I'll put on a YouTube video, like

01:21:50.050 --> 01:21:51.890
last for like an hour, and there's an accident

01:21:51.890 --> 01:21:54.789
in the series, and I'll fall asleep. YouTube

01:21:54.789 --> 01:21:56.770
has figured out that I'm falling asleep during

01:21:56.770 --> 01:21:58.930
these videos because now they're offering me,

01:21:59.109 --> 01:22:04.510
like one was a World War II history of war factories.

01:22:05.440 --> 01:22:07.899
So after I fell asleep to that a couple of times,

01:22:08.020 --> 01:22:10.720
I log into YouTube and one of the first things

01:22:10.720 --> 01:22:13.819
in my recommended videos is two hours of World

01:22:13.819 --> 01:22:17.340
War II facts to fall asleep to. That's the name

01:22:17.340 --> 01:22:20.380
of the video. And I looked at it, and it said

01:22:20.380 --> 01:22:22.939
it was made two years ago, and there's like 1

01:22:22.939 --> 01:22:25.699
.2 million likes and views. And then I looked

01:22:25.699 --> 01:22:28.159
through the comments. They were all AI -generated

01:22:28.159 --> 01:22:30.000
comments. Oh, I wouldn't believe that for shit.

01:22:30.039 --> 01:22:33.119
So that video just didn't exist yesterday. They

01:22:33.119 --> 01:22:35.439
just created it out of nothing because they figured

01:22:35.439 --> 01:22:38.239
I'll click on it, and they'll wait for me to

01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:39.779
fall asleep, and then they'll just hammer my

01:22:39.779 --> 01:22:42.079
subconscious brain with commercials for an hour

01:22:42.079 --> 01:22:46.949
or two. It's evil, evil. Oh, I agree. So if it

01:22:46.949 --> 01:22:48.569
ever says, here's something to fall asleep to,

01:22:48.689 --> 01:22:50.909
don't believe it. Because they're just going

01:22:50.909 --> 01:22:53.270
to wait for you to fall asleep, and the TV is

01:22:53.270 --> 01:22:55.130
going to use the inboard microphone to monitor

01:22:55.130 --> 01:22:57.010
your breathing and tell when you're asleep, and

01:22:57.010 --> 01:22:58.510
then they're just going to hammer your unconscious

01:22:58.510 --> 01:23:02.789
brain with urges to vote for this person and

01:23:02.789 --> 01:23:04.689
buy this product and give your money to these

01:23:04.689 --> 01:23:08.289
people. That type of thing, yep. Leave the programming

01:23:08.289 --> 01:23:12.100
machine on all night. Just to make it clear,

01:23:12.199 --> 01:23:15.039
though, if we go to YouTube, we love them. Oh,

01:23:15.039 --> 01:23:18.300
yes. Yeah, they're great. Yes. Great. Yes. You

01:23:18.300 --> 01:23:20.000
know, if they're paying us money, then all of

01:23:20.000 --> 01:23:21.859
a sudden we like it. Just like the NFL. Yeah,

01:23:21.899 --> 01:23:24.460
yeah. But only if we go to them. Other than that,

01:23:24.500 --> 01:23:29.029
this stands. Yeah. So, yeah. Okay, you got anything

01:23:29.029 --> 01:23:31.529
else? I'm pretty much out of everything. I don't

01:23:31.529 --> 01:23:33.369
think we need to load up the canoe and paddle

01:23:33.369 --> 01:23:35.430
our way home through this deluge of downpour

01:23:35.430 --> 01:23:37.409
and flooding. Yeah, we got flooding everywhere.

01:23:37.609 --> 01:23:40.069
Oh, look at that guy. He's getting ready to go

01:23:40.069 --> 01:23:43.029
into Missouri River. Oh, he's fishing. Look,

01:23:43.109 --> 01:23:46.829
he's got a pole. He's all right. Yeah, yeah,

01:23:46.829 --> 01:23:52.649
he is. A lot further off than when we used to

01:23:52.649 --> 01:23:56.449
broadcast from a sandbar. Yeah, I remember that.

01:23:56.840 --> 01:23:58.600
Back in the drought days, we'd go out in the

01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:00.460
middle of the Missouri River and all those little

01:24:00.460 --> 01:24:02.819
islands that would pop up. We did a podcast on

01:24:02.819 --> 01:24:04.899
one of those. That one started sinking. That

01:24:04.899 --> 01:24:07.479
was a little scary. Yeah, yeah. But that was

01:24:07.479 --> 01:24:09.739
fun. There's still a laptop in there somewhere.

01:24:09.880 --> 01:24:12.659
Yeah, yeah. We got so many bug bites. Oh, sure,

01:24:12.720 --> 01:24:16.100
yeah. Those Japanese carp attacked us. Oh, yeah.

01:24:16.239 --> 01:24:18.199
We didn't know they attacked your genitals. Oh,

01:24:18.239 --> 01:24:21.520
yeah. Yeah, I guess anything huge and throbbing,

01:24:21.539 --> 01:24:24.779
they just go right for it. Right there. We're

01:24:24.779 --> 01:24:31.560
looking for blood flow. All right. Anyhow, everybody,

01:24:31.680 --> 01:24:34.000
thank you for listening, and go fuck yourself.

01:24:35.539 --> 01:24:39.140
Oh, no. Looks like the show's over, kids. Mark

01:24:39.140 --> 01:24:42.180
has explosive diarrhea and can't afford a wireless

01:24:42.180 --> 01:24:45.819
mic. Fear not, assholes. They'll be back invading

01:24:45.819 --> 01:24:46.760
your ear holes soon.
