We are the music creeps. We are the music creeps.
We are. All right. Here we go. And we still got
it. Yep. All right. We're just as bad as we always
were. Everyone around is cringing. We did it
right. I think that guy really threw up a little.
Yeah, he did. Oh, that dog's licking. Oh, my
God. Oh. Oh. Oh. Well, it's a dog. That's what
they do. All right. Well, like we said, we are
the music creeps. Yes. I'm still Topher. And
I'm still Mark. Somehow. Yeah. Nobody else wanted
to be Topher, so I'm kind of stuck with that.
I thought someone else was going to, too, but,
I mean, you know, everyone stepped up. You know,
it's like Mark is available, and everyone ran.
Yeah. Everybody ran. All right. You got anything
you want to go into? I got some bullet points.
I got some rock and roll odd facts. I got a little
bit of a... Oh, you want to go into the Nikki
Sixx drama for a little bit again? Okay. Yeah.
All right. Okay. Mick Marr's daughter, this is
kind of old news. I've had this for a little
while, but you know what? If you heard it before,
then you're going to hear it again. Yeah. Or
you're going to shut us off. Hang on. Tell me
when the minute mark is so we'll get credit.
We passed the minute mark. Okay, all right. Mick
Marr's daughter is Stormy Deal because his name
is Bob Deal, believe it or not. And she recently
responded to Nikki Sixx on Instagram regarding
a feud between Sixx and her father. Sixx had
accused Mick Marr of lying and betraying the
band. leading to an ongoing public dispute. In
her Instagram post, Steele defended her father,
calling the situation classic empath versus narcissist
dynamic. And stating that Six's actions were
an attempt at a smear campaign. Yeah, I can believe
that. Yeah, I do too. I think I pretty much take
her side on this. So, of course, he had a rebuttal
because he obviously has nothing else to do these
days. That's true. Nikki Sixx accusations in
a recent statement. Nikki Sixx accused McMars
of lying to fans and attempting to harm the band.
Referencing ongoing arbitration between Mars
and Motley Crue. He also expressed shame and
Mars hinted at more revelations to come. Interesting.
Yep. She stated she was initially not going to
comment but felt compelled to defend her father.
She described the situation as empath versus
narcissist dynamics, suggesting Sixx... resorts
to smear campaigns when he can't provoke her
father. To me, I see that too. Yeah, I've known
a lot of people that when they don't get their
own way, they go right to the insults. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. The first thing they do is they start
making fun of him and saying shit like that.
Yeah, it's a pretty common reaction. Yeah, and
that works against the person because I look
at them and go, wait a minute. If you're talking
about something they did, that's one thing, but
if you just want to try to mock them and make
fun of them, don't bother. Yeah, it shows you
don't have anything else to talk about. Yeah,
so also she accused Six of ruining both Motley
Crue's legacy, which I believe he did, and criticized
him for choosing bitterness. I agree with both
of those. A few days later, and to me this was
a set -up question, and you tell me if you think
so too. Okay. Sometimes we'll have someone ask
a question because they want to say something
but don't want to act like that's what they've
been brooding over. I think this is what he was
brooding over. So he had, in my opinion, asked
someone on X, Twitter, whatever, alluded to Deal's
comments when asking Six about his narcissistic
tendencies. You really aren't a narcissist, are
you? They wrote. You worked hard to get where
you are and been through hell and back, and you
should take pride in that. Tell me I didn't come
from his mouth. Yeah. In response to the fan,
Six agreed that he doesn't consider himself to
be a narcissist. They never do. No, they never
do. That's why they're narcissists. I've been
in therapy since I found recovery. That right
there is a narcissistic statement, in my opinion.
Look how great I am. Yeah, yeah, I did it. He
thinks he's better than everybody else because
he's able to do that. But anyhow, I've been in
therapy since I found recovery and have never
been labeled that, which doesn't matter. No.
Said people use it as an insult without understanding
what it actually is. So the answer is no. Just
because, I mean, a person can be a narcissist,
but not to everybody. Yes. That's a great point.
Yeah. In my opinion, I think he's been a narcissist
for a long time. And this goes back to not just
Mick Mars. Yeah. But he's insulted other people.
He's had problems with other people. I remember
Godsmack wrote the song, You're Crying Like a
Bitch About Me. And the reason is because when
they were touring with him, Nicky had this set
of demands. You can't do this. You can do this.
You can't do this. When Ozzy gave them... Not
only did he help start their career by letting
them be the opening act, at that time, Ozzy could
have had anybody as his opening act. Yes, he
could. He let them do it, and he gave them free
use of the stage, sound equipment, and everything.
Yeah, he helped them. He promoted their career,
basically. Yeah, he said, go at it. Do whatever
you can. You're not going to upstage me. He knew
better. They did great, and everybody loved them.
They were crazy, but they weren't screaming for
Motley when Ozzy took the stage. They were like,
there's Ozzy. Everything else doesn't matter.
So he took advantage of all that. The music that
was written on the early albums are in question.
Who wrote them? He has a lot of, I don't know,
around him to be this bold. And for him to do
that to a young band starting up and try to stifle
him and push them around and bully them, in my
opinion, is absurd when they got the golden treatment
from ozzy yeah don't you don't you reciprocate
that you go look we got a lot of help from a
legend so now that we're older and you're coming
up we're going to help you too yeah but godsmack
ended up hating him and writing a song about
him i guess it almost came to fisticuffs a few
times i would imagine yeah they got tired of
him brooding over everything they're doing And,
yes, it was so bad that even Vince Newman was
like going, man, guys, don't fucking worry about
that. Just do it, you know. Yeah. Quit micromanaging.
Quit being the nanny. Yeah. Yeah, so narcissist,
I think I would tend to agree with that. Yeah.
So, yeah, I mean, I don't know. You got anything
else to add to that? Just to further my point
is I've known people who've treated me in one
way but treated everyone else in a better way.
Oh, I've known that too. And it's not because
there's something wrong with me. It's because
they've decided to treat me badly. Or they're
threatened by you. Yeah, yeah. One of the number
one reasons is because they're threatened by
you. Yeah. For whatever reason, they feel threatened
by you. So they have the need to treat you, belittle
you, and make you think you're not that much.
Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, I've got a family member
who has always been a relentless bully to me.
But to most other people in his life, he's a
relentless kiss -ass. But he chose to be a bully
to me. But nobody else sees him as a bully because
that's not who he is with them. But he's every
bit a bully. It's just he's selective. It's also
part of the act. It's also part of the act. So
if you complain, they go, well, he's been great
to me. That must be him. That must be you. You're
just doing this. What's wrong with you? Yeah,
it's an act. And then again, what he feels threatened
by you, I believe, something, you know. Yeah.
Well, he's just crushingly insecure about his
own life. Well, there you go. Yeah. That'll do
it right there. Yeah. And you're happy and doing
well and, you know, you're happily retired, do
podcasts. You've got a lot of other interests,
music, everything. Yeah. He needs something to
do. Just like a friend of mine that we talked,
we spoke a couple of times on the podcast about.
I wasn't done at first, but then things led to
it, kind of. But when I posted that we're doing
a podcast, and we're, oh, we sent a get well
card to Branch, Brian Branch of the Detroit Lions
for being relentlessly bullied by the Kansas
City Chiefs. Yeah. And so my friend, or supposedly
used to be a friend, I don't think he's so much
of a friend now, but. He wrote, I wish you would
get better. He goes, I know you're not sick.
I just want you to get better. I've seen that.
Yeah. So I wanted him to explain. I said, please
explain. He never explained, which means he pussied
out, which means he meant it like I thought he
did. Yeah. So anyhow, where was I going with
this? Oh, the little tug, the little insult,
okay? And I said this on the podcast, I mean
this. He needs something to do. He's retired
now from what I understand. He needs a hobby.
If he's worried about a podcast and if he doesn't
particularly like it, why would you protest it,
especially a supposed friend online? Why would
you protest it? Why would you say something like
that? What is the goal of doing that? You know,
I've wondered that myself because there's people
in my life who I know who are just so relentlessly
negative. about so much yeah and i really i really
come to the conclusion that they're not they
don't have a goal in mind it's just every day
wake morning every morning they wake up and they
choose to hate yes it's like i'm gonna make hate
a big part of my life and i'm gonna hate all
day long and they just they decide from the moment
they wake up to hate and then they find things
to feed the hate and they find ways to express
their hate and disapproval and insult and I don't
know how they go on day after day just living
in hate, but I've removed several people like
that from my life. Well, yeah, and I may do that
for this person too. We'll see. Right now I'm
just letting him ride, but he's on notice. And
him being out of my life means nothing. Yeah.
I don't talk to the guy anymore. As a matter
of fact, I knew and know some people that really
dislike him, but I don't focus on that either.
But anyhow, this got into something else. Anyhow,
you have something you want to go into? I wanted
to talk about a musician who died recently under
slightly odd circumstances. Oh. This guy's name
is Todd Snyder. Now, he wasn't a real big act,
but he's putting out albums. I've got one of
his called Songs from the Daily Planet. And he's
kind of a mix between a little bluesy, a little
folksy, a little country maybe, a little rock.
You can kind of tell all of his songs were written
on guitar. Let me put it that way. But he's pretty
clever, and he's had a good career. Born in Oregon,
grew up in Texas. and kind of touring around
for many years. Todd Snyder, Tom's brother. Yes.
Yes, okay. I guess they were twins, Tom and Todd.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Anyway, so he was
on tour, and I forgot the city he was in, but
he got into an altercation either at or after
the show, and somebody physically attacked him
and kind of beat the crap out of him. And he
wound up going to the hospital to get treated
in the ER. But then an hour or so later, the
police were there to arrest him for the way he
was treating everybody in the ER. He was yelling
and making threats. Kind of like Mark Sanchez.
Yeah. He got really injured, but he was the aggressor
and went to jail. He was stabbed. That's right,
that's right. I think with Todd Snyder, they're
not really saying what started the initial altercation,
but the police eventually arrested him for the
way he was behaving at the hospital and took
him into custody. And then less than a day later,
he died of complications of pneumonia. That is
odd. Isn't that weird? So he was on stage singing
his ass off, and then like a day later, he's
dead from the... pneumonia complications? How
in the world is he singing on tour if he's got
pneumonia? I smell bullshit. Yeah, so something
weird is going on here with Todd Snyder's death.
My opinion is, I mean, and this, I don't know
any of it, okay, but, okay, they beat him up
because he was being, whatever he was doing that
night, being disruptive on drugs or something.
They went too far. Yeah. Now they're hiding it.
Oh, he had pneumonia. Yeah, yeah. One thing for
sure is he didn't die from complications pneumonia.
Hey, my fellow heavy breathers. This is Dash
Riptide with your music news. For a nerd to take
center stage on Stranger Things float at Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade. I remember the infamous
Kiss float years ago where the large Gibson guitar
on their float was replaced with a much smaller
ugly one. Paul was seen mincing and bitching.
So in other words, he was being normal. George
Thorogood has announced a world tour. Minus the
rest of the world. It kicks off March 8th. Thousand
Oaks, California. March 10th. Napa, California.
March 17th. Kamloops, California. March 19th.
Parkland, California. It ends in Fort Wayne on
March 31st with a Hamilton, Canada three days
later. And that appears to be all the tour as
of date. He is 150, so he probably is not going
to tour more than that. This is Gash Ruktine,
and that was your music news. If it's too loud,
you probably have ear damage, just like me. If
that's what they're telling us, then you know
for sure that's not true. No, it's not true.
It's like the way Bob Saget died. Yeah, yeah.
He actually just kind of fell over and bumped
his head. No, he didn't. No, he had blunt force
trauma that's unaccounted for. The initial coroner
said the only way you can get a skull fracture
like that is to swing a baseball bat as hard
as you can. I'll tell you. There's no way Bob
Saget fell over and did that damage to himself.
Absolutely no way. Yeah, I think there might
have been a girl involved and a pissed off guy.
That's classic Bob Crane stuff. Yeah. Google
it. Yeah. But in Bob Saget's case, he had a huge
body of work with TV shows and series and stuff
that would become... utterly worthless if the
actual circumstances surrounding his death got
out. It's like that 70s show with Danny Masterson
on it. Oh, yeah. I won't watch it anymore because
the guy's a rapist. Yeah, and also... And he
lied about it for decades. Yeah. And Ashton Kutcher
and Mila Kunis are pretty slimeball people also.
It's like, yeah, I ain't watching that show anymore.
No, me neither, and I don't care for him either.
So I think with Todd Snyder is they didn't want
anyone to look any farther into exactly why this
fight happened and why he was getting so pissed
off in the hospital and all this stuff. It's
like, oh, he's got like six, seven albums out,
and if he dies, suddenly there'll be a surge
in popularity, but only if he dies in an approved
way. So they made up the pneumonia story so that...
they can capitalize on his death and sell more
albums. Yes. That's what it smells like to me.
I think you're absolutely right. Wouldn't be
the first time, wouldn't be the last time. It's
happened many times. Elvis, they protected as
much of that as they could. I mean, everything.
Jim Morrison, The Doors. He died of an overdose
in the bathroom of the bar down the street. and
then drag his ass home and throw him in the bathtub
and pretend he died of a heart attack in the
bathtub to protect record sales. And eventually
the people who did that, you know, before they
died, they said, yeah, here's what really happened.
Yeah. Isn't that funny? Yeah. So, I mean, it's
been going on since. Who knows how long? At least
as long as we've been alive. So this is just
another example of sanitizing his mode of death
in order to make sure you protect the revenue
stream. Happens all the time. Michael Jackson,
The Prince, all of those. By the time the real
story got out, Errol was already over it. I've
got some rock and roll odd facts if you want
to go into that. Sure. Okay. Cream Badge was
written by George Harrison. Eric Clapton and
a drunken Ringo Starr who added the line about
swans. That was Ringo Starr smashed. Harrison
had horrible handwriting and it was meant to
be called Bridge. But Clapton read it as Badge
and they kept it. Wow. Bridge might be a better
title. I thought so too. It would make sense.
The swan line was... I told you about the swans,
how they live in the park. Yes, that was Ringo
Starr drunk. So that was Ringo's contribution.
Okay, I can hear Ringo, I told you about the
swans. He also said, you've got to hit the higher
note again. At the park. That's funny, it was
the bridge instead of the badge. Yeah, I thought
that was really interesting. I'd never seen that
ever before. I was like, wow. And then I looked
it up, and it's supposedly true. Yeah, well,
I had heard for years that when they wrote that
song, they were all pretty wasted. This is why
it doesn't make any sense. And why they said
George, it doesn't at all. And that's why George
Harrison, no, Ringo Starr was drunken. He must
have been excessively, and the rest of them were
just fucked up. He was like Ozzy or something.
I want some swans on that thing, okay? Swan cell,
I tell you. I've been noticing that for a long
time. Swan cell. All right. The lyrics, Jim Morrison.
Added in the latter parts, the Roadhouse Blues
were originally meant to be, you've got to be
a poet, you've got to choose a story, you've
got to get to going to the passionate lady. That
was the original lines, which kind of makes some
sense. But Jim was pretty wasted when he attempted
the lyrics, and Doris felt his gibberish fit
the song better, and he kept rolling it in. He's
like, what was he going, and then you've got
to go to Poco, then you've got, you know, he
keeps, it was just gibberish. Nothing, nothing
legible. They just kept it going and going. Yeah.
And they're like, you know what? We're just going
to go with that. You got to roll, roll, roll.
You got to roll, roll, roll. Yeah. And then eventually
he started screaming, passionate lady, give up
your vows. Yeah, he remembered that part. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, if I said this part yet, I better yell
it. That's right, passionate lady. Oh, my gosh.
This one's pretty evident, but a lot of people
may not know, but the massive country hit convoy
was not about CBs. Everybody thought it was about
citizen ban. It was about driving a long haul.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I think it's pretty obvious,
but that's what they, you know, this was the
story here. And some people may not have viewed
it like that. They're like, you know, they're
talking about, they're all like, oh my God, it's
a convoy. They thought it was about the actual
radio that they use. Yeah, because CB radios
at the time were suddenly getting very popular.
People were having them in homes. Yeah, yeah.
And then they expanded from 23 channels all the
way up to 40. And everybody thought, oh, I have
to go buy a new one now. Yeah, everyone's on
one. If you're on 40, nobody knew what the fuck.
Nobody went to 40. And I'm pretty sure you know
this. I know this, but a lot of people may not
know it. Leonard Skinner was named after a high
school gym teacher, Leonard Skinner, who suspended
them for having long hair. Yeah, and was telling
them how they're never going to amount to nothing.
Yes, yep. But they had to change it to Skinnerd
and change Leonard into Wise, you know, so the
O and the E and all that. So they didn't have
to give them any money. Yes. So that was pretty
cool. The Rolling Stones' iconic tongue logo,
if I could say that, the Rolling Stones' iconic
tongue logo was inspired by an Indian Hindu goddess
Kali. Or Kali. I didn't know that at all. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, there's a couple we knew. There's
a few that we didn't know on here. I thought
it was a pretty good little list. I thought Big
Jagger just looked down at the groupie that was
kneeling in front of him and just, oh, the first
thing I see is an open mouth with a tongue hanging
out. I thought he looked in the mirror, seeing
his enormous mouth, and said, I'm going to go
with that. Everybody sees me up there, so I'm
going to go with my face. Before, I think you
probably know this one too, but a lot of people
don't. Before playing guitar, Alex Van Halen
played guitar and Eddie played drums. I knew
that. And actually, however, Alex eventually
became better at drums, so Eddie switched to
guitar and became... Became Eddie. Really, really
good. Yeah. Became Eddie, like you said. So,
yeah, that was pretty good. He even had it in
the book. Yeah, I remember it. supposedly the
story was Eddie had to get a paper route to pay
for his drums. Yes. And he'd be out delivering
the papers and Alex would be home playing. Playing
the drums and getting better. And I learned to
appreciate Alex Van Halen much more than I used
to. I used to go, symbols, yeah, okay, whatever.
No, it was the way he did it. It wasn't the fact
that he did it. It was the way he did it. Yeah,
what really got me on board with Alex Van Halen
is I saw the concert video for their Right Here,
Right Now tour. Uh -huh. And the solo he does
in that is. Pretty good. Pretty freaking good.
Yeah. Yeah, no, he is very good. He's much better
than I think he ever got credit because his brother
was so outstanding. As I understand, he's retired
now. He says, yeah, I'm just kind of done. I
don't want to play anymore. No, he doesn't. I
mean, he self -admittedly said after his brother
passed away, he doesn't really have desire for
music anymore. But he does have about three albums
of unreleased music. Not bad. Yeah, but here's
the problem. Look at A Different Kind of Truth.
The last album with David Lee Roth and all that.
That was a horrible album. And that was done
with retread. Look at Coda from Led Zeppelin.
Anything left on the floor, it was on the floor
for a reason. Yeah, that's the thing. You can
scrub them up and glorify them all you want,
but they're not good songs. Either they weren't
all that good or they weren't finished. Either
way, yeah. And without Eddie there doing his
stuff, no, no, no. And also another thing where
they lost a lot of their stuff was, listen, Wolfgang
is a phenomenal musician. Very good. But Michael
Anthony was so simplistic that he made it. He
made that heartbeat that he did. He made the
whole songs. I mean, especially the early stuff
that they really rocked. Bad Company's bass player
wasn't any big deal. Buzz Burrell? Yeah. He was
okay. I mean, he had to work real hard to just
be okay. But they loved him, and what he did
in the band was all they needed. That's all they
needed, I know. I mean, you can look at... Oh,
shit, I'm trying to think of the song. You know
what, forget it. Anyhow, I can't think of the
song, but... There was one song in particular
that really shows it, because you can hear him
struggling to keep up. I mean, there's just that
certain little pause there. But it fits so well.
It's kind of like John Bonham could have done
so much more, but he's like, no, no. I'm going
to hit him hard. Yeah, Ian Pace in Deep Purple.
He could have overplayed his brains out, but
he didn't. He played just what the song needed.
And he can still play great to this day. Oh,
yeah. The guy's phenomenal. Oh yeah, he is one
of the most underrated drummers ever. Yeah, he
really is. Because he really wrote the tempo
for the song. Man. Yeah. And he was one of the
guys that was always in Purple. Yeah, yeah. And
it was John Lord until he passed away. No, that's
true. All the rest of them came and left. Those
two were always in the band. Interesting. The
Ramones, Joey Ramones, suffered from a debilitating
OCD, which led to extreme behaviors like a compulsive
need to drive back to the airport to ensure he
performed a specific task correctly after returning
to a tour, from a tour. Wow. Yeah, so he would
get all the way back, and then he'd go, did I
close the door at that airport? That can be crippling.
It really can. Sounds to me like... Yes, that
was it. I've got a few more here on another page.
Queen's Freddie Mercury once called his manager
in distress because he was trying to record with
Michael Jackson, who had brought his pet llama,
Louie, to the studio. And I knew that. I knew
that. I knew that for a long time. Michael Jackson
was one of those guys that was so rich, nobody
would tell him no. Yes, exactly. So he did all
sorts of bizarre, weird stuff. But the thing
is, Freddie Mercury, he was the ultimate, ultimate,
consummate professional. Yeah. A perfectionist.
You bring a llama into the studio, it's not going
to fly with him. The music is what matters, not
this animal. Get this animal out of here. Why
would you bring someone into this? We need to
record. We need to record this perfectly. Was
the llama named Tina? Probably. Tina, eat the
food. Google it. Judas Priest album British Still
was recorded in a former home of Ringo Starr.
The sound of marching feet and metal gods was
created by using a tray of cutlery from Starr's
kitchen. The marching, yes. Funny. That cracks
me up. Oh, gosh. Now when I hear that, I imagine
utensils, but at the time I was like, wow, that's
a cool sound. Yeah. Rage Against the Machine.
Tom Morello's mother, Mary Morello, was a schoolteacher
who was also the homeroom teacher for Tools,
Adam Jones. Oh, wow. The two were even in a high
school band together called Electric Sheep. I
would have never known that. No. It doesn't seem
like Tom Morello and Adam Jones would be in the
same classes because doesn't it seem like Rage
was out way before? Yeah, it doesn't seem like
the ages would line up. Yeah, I guess they do.
But there are some high schools where it's not
grade -specific. You can have juniors in with
seniors. Yeah, that's true. It is probably a
deal like that. And also, Tom Morello, him and
Kim Thall were two of the most underrated guitarists
ever, I think. I think they really helped define
the sound of a lot of people. Yes. It's not so
much that the general public is aware of them
and their influence, but other guitar players
are heavily influenced by them. Other guitar
players always mention them. Yeah. It's just
like Richie Blackmore. Well, Blackmore gets credit
because of his songwriting, not like Virtuoso.
I mean, he was very good, obviously. Yeah. But
every guitarist after that, for years, even today,
you know, who's your main influence? Always Richie
Blackmore, Tony Iommi. Yeah. Two of the non -fancier
guys, but knew how to write a song. Yeah, yeah.
There are movies like that, too. You would never
have any of the Matrix movies without the movie
Dark City first. Because Dark City really inspired
the Wachowski siblings. At the time, they were
brothers, now they're sisters. In fact, they
used some of the same sets from Dark City. Well,
that's a good point. I never even thought about
that. The rooftop sets. Yeah. Yeah. We'll have
to revisit that. There was a big battle at the
end where a creature got thrown through a water
tower, just like in The Matrix. That big fight
in the rain between Agent Smith and Neo. I mean,
there's a lot of it. If you're familiar with
The Matrix, especially the first Matrix movie,
and then go watch Dark City, you're like, wow,
I can see where they got it. Wow, okay. I never
even thought about that ever. Yeah. Okay, that
makes a lot of sense. Then there are a lot of
movies out there like that that we haven't necessarily
seen, but a lot of really good movie directors
and writers. It's like, oh, yeah, without that
movie, you wouldn't get this one. I agree. Yeah,
you know what? Yep. It happens all the time,
and wow. That makes a lot of sense. All right,
the Marshall Tucker Band is named after a real
person. A South Carolina piano tuner they found
on a key chain. Not a band member. Oh, funny.
On a keychain. Marshall Tucker. Yeah, it's got
a good name. It's got a good sound to it. It
does, yeah. That's why they decided to call the
band that. It's like the band Jethro Tull. That
was like some 18th century agriculture expert.
Oh, yeah. And they just liked the name. It's
like, yeah, let's just name ourselves that. Everybody
thinks Ian Anderson is Jethro Tull. No. I mean,
property -wise and everything, probably, yeah.
No, but it's not him. He's not Jethro Tull. The
real Jethro Tull lived about 270 years ago. Yeah.
That's a long time ago. It is. No, that is funny.
And to think they're still touring is insane.
I know. Yeah. Of course, Ian Anderson is pretty
much the only guy. Yeah, he's a, yeah. But it's
funny because everyone always has him like this
dancing one leg, one leg up in the air all the
way up, you know, all the way up to his knee
while he's playing the bass. No, he barely lifted
his leg up and he did it sparsely, but he gets
this reputation for being this Pied Piper looking
guy. Yeah, Flamingo. Yeah, Flamingo. But he never
really does that. He just lifts his leg up every
once in a while. And I was like, oh, he's a guy
that dances around on one leg, the Flamingo.
No, mostly he's just jumping around like he's
got motion disorder. He just really is awkward
on stage. He's weird looking. I remember I watched
him one time. I'm like waiting for that, waiting,
waiting. Okay, all right, I want to see this.
I want to see this flamingo. That split second
of him sticking his left leg up, that's it. That's
his flamingo. Now, Robert Plant had a thing where
he'd hold the mic. his left hand and then his
right hand he'd have the the hand up by his face
with the wrist bent all the way back and his
fingers kind of up in the air and yeah there's
tons of pictures of him doing that and yeah he
does that a whole lot it's like every three or
four seconds he's got his hand up there and flipping
his hand back so it's like yeah he did that a
lot so that really was a common thing for him
but Ian Anderson is He got credit for it. Has
anyone ever asked him, is that like something
while he sings he needs to do? It's like... I
have never heard. Expressive, like... And maybe
he doesn't even think about it. I don't know,
but when you said he was off key, my God, now
that's all I can hear. Yeah. I mean, it melts
out those, you know, big emotive screams. They
sound great, but they are horrible musically.
You're like, ugh. Dissonance. It's like a cat
being skinned if you really want to get down
to it. But during the 70s and all of that stuff
and everything, that's what fit the bill. You
got a heroin addict, Aleister Crowley, loving
fucking drummer, or not drummer, guitarist. You
got an alcoholic drummer. And then you got the
straight guy, John Paul Jones, you know. I believe
he pretty much was. He was pretty much your average
guy. Yeah, yeah. He wrote music very well, though.
Yeah, he did. He was a hell of a guitarist and
pianist, too, and keyboardist, but people wouldn't
know that. Yeah. So, you ever see him play guitar?
No, I haven't seen him on it. There's videos
of it. He's really good. So is Robert Plant.
Yeah. Robert Plant, my God. How about Big Lock?
Yeah. I mean, the song's nothing fancy, but the
songwriting on that is just insane. Yeah. So
good. So, I have bullet points, but you have
some stuff you want to go into? Let's see. What's
the one I got next? I've been seeing articles,
and I mention this to you, people saying that
when Alex Van Halen came up with the eruption,
great piece of music. However, it's not completely
original. It was based very heavily on Ace Frehley's
guitar solo in the live version of Shock Me.
Yes. And I got on YouTube yesterday, and I listened.
And you have to get the live version from Kiss
Alive 2. Yes. And go about four minutes and eight
seconds in, and the solo starts. And holy cow.
I mean, it's not note for note, but structure
-wise. Structure -wise, and also the tapping.
The tapping. He'd done pick tapping, not finger
tapping. Yeah. Which is harder, I think. It's
harder, yes. But a lot of people say that Ace
really brought it to electric. Because finger
tapping has been going on for hundreds of years.
Yeah, hammer on, pull off. Even medieval music
featured some. Yeah, absolutely. But most famously,
bluegrass. Bluegrass is all finger tapping, and
my gosh. You have to be a musician of musicians
to play that. Yeah. Yeah, that's so fast and
precise. But Ace Frehley, the whole structure
and everything was, yeah, I agree. I've always
thought that, and I didn't know it was a thing
now. Yeah, I've been seeing, you know, of course,
since I responded to the first article and read
it, you know, now my newsfeed is giving me five
or six more because they want me to click on
it. Well, Ace was so influential on so many guitarists
in the 80s. Yeah, that's another good example
of you don't know, but he was the influence.
There's a lot of music you would never hear if
it wasn't for Ace. Oh, I agree, yes. Yeah. Ace
has always been one of my guitarists, not for
preciseness, but feeling. Yeah. His note bending,
everything meant something. Yeah. He had so much
feeling in his music. And that was something
that Kiss could never regain after he left. Yeah.
They never had it again. I mean, that magic was
gone. So, I mean, they could get by Peter Criss
because I actually, I like Eric Carr better,
my personal opinion. I do too, yeah. But Peter
Criss was fine. Yeah. And he was a great songwriter,
obviously. Yeah. His voice is very unique. But
I like Derek Carr better because he's more of
a straightforward, heavier hammer guy, you know.
That allowed him to do Creatures of the Night,
which could be, might be one of my favorite Chris
Kiss albums. That album was so underrated, but
it was the time it came out. Yeah. So, and also
it came out after The Elder. Yeah. And Unmasked
and all that. I mean, it came out from like Fluff
and... soundtrack music to this heavy, dark,
brooding stuff. Well, after The Elder, anything
would be an improvement. Anything's an improvement.
Now, if you want to call it another band, that
album's good. But if you call it Kiss, no. Let
me ask you a question. On a video I watched the
other day, it was another one of those AI fantasies
where it was written by AI and read by AI. But
they were talking about... underappreciated musicians
and they were talking about Geezer Butler and
they credited him with writing the lyrics to
like Iron Man and various other things. Until
Ronnie James Dio came into being. I'd always
been told that Ozzy wrote Iron Man. I don't think
that's true. Yeah. So whoever told me that was
totally wrong. Ozzy was the melody guy. Yeah.
He would do the melodies and Geezer always said
this. And so did Bill Ward. Tony, I don't know,
he may have. But, okay, they said that Ozzy had
always been underappreciated as a musician because
he may not have been able to, he could play the
harmonica and that's it. Yeah. Okay, the harmonica,
he was good at. But his melodies, he would come
up with the melodies, and that was his songwriting,
not the lyrics. Yeah. But Geezer Butler was the
one that came up with the lyrics. And so, until
Ronnie James Dio. joined the band, and Dio loved
that thought, or Geezer loved that thought. He
got tired of writing lyrics, and Dio came in,
and that's how come you had the darker songs
with Dio, because Dio came in with the druidism
and all that, you know. Yeah, all that interesting
stuff. Yeah, yeah, and the maloik, you know,
going around everywhere, fucking giving everybody
the horns and all that. I remember my brother
telling me that he went to the Black and Blue,
Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath, and he said
that it scared the hell out of him because in
the middle of the concert it felt like he attended
a black mass oh because ronnie james dio was
in for that shock devilish stuff yeah i don't
think he was really into it but if he was then
okay whatever but he was like you know um it's
in the middle of heaven and hell they go and
a little white shake come down on me and he said
i'm where you ought to be and he said come with
me and i'll show you what to do But then a big
dark force came after me, and he said, I'm going
to tell you where you ought to be. And then he
said something like, he goes, I'm going to burn
in hell with all of you. And then he points at
the crowd, and the crowd goes nuts. And my brother's
sitting there looking around, and he's going,
what the fuck? Everybody wants to burn in hell?
And all they're doing is following the guy. To
me, that, listen, I mean, you can believe whatever
you want, but to me, believing in the devil is
an idiocy. Because he is just the counter of
God. And why would you want to open a door to
something like that? Even if you really don't
think it's real, why take the chance of opening
a door and inviting it in? I'm certain he answered
to it in 2010. But, no, he was more the dark
guy. He was the guy that always sang about the
devil and stuff. Gieser Butler would point towards
it but not get in it. Gieser Butler would also
find the absurdity in life. Like Iron Man was
actually written about Jesus Christ. He killed
the people he once saved and all this stuff.
I mean, Christ didn't kill. What they're talking
about is being crucified. It's an adaptation.
Gieser Butler said it's a song about Jesus Christ,
only it doesn't mention Jesus Christ. That guy
would be Iron Man. you know so um anyhow uh yeah
everything came all of this stuff came from ace
he isn't the only he isn't the only influence
yeah hendrix had a lot to do with a lot of other
ones had a lot to do with but ace on that flashy
stuff and also jk lee this would be the ultimate
sin live it was recorded at kemper arena kansas
city i was there yeah but his solo was highly
based on that too And I think both of them were
not meant to be. Both of them were highly influenced,
like me. I mean, when I was into Ace, that's
all I wanted to listen to. The guy had so much
feeling, and it sucks that he passed away. And
one of the things that really sucks is this right
here. He survived the first fall. He was fine.
He went back in the studio, tripped in the same
place, and that time, brain bleed got him. He
had the first warning, and then it happened again.
But it also makes you wonder if there's something
neurological going on, too. Yeah. You know, two
in a row like that, and the second one comes
in. Yeah, if you're feeling clumsy or whatever.
He was an alcoholic, been a bad wreck, all this
stuff. He had a lot, you know. Well, I know from
experience that... Job opening. A lifetime of...
Oh, that's Ace's ghost. Shut up. A lifetime of
alcohol abuse. Oh, shattered mirror. There you
go. Shattered mirror. Oh, yeah. Connect the dots,
guys. Connect the dots. Fractured mirror, not
shattered. No, but a lifetime of alcohol abuse
makes the blood vessels in your brain very weak
and fragile. And I have a grandfather who fell
and hit his head. And a normal person would have
said, ow, and got back up. But since his brain
was so weakened by alcohol, blood vessels burst.
and he had a brain bleed and died. And that is
probably a big part of why that fall took him
out. Oh, yeah, yeah. That makes an optimal amount
of sense. Yeah, I don't think so. Yeah. Okay,
me and Rob got into this, and I always wanted
to ask you this. Whenever someone dies, okay,
right before that, They've always been bickering
with him. And some of it got pretty personal.
Yeah. You know, like Paul saying that he's an
anti -Semite and looked at them as like money
-grubbing Jews and all that. That was uncalled
for. Yeah. Okay. There was a lot of dirty shit
said between the two, but when he died, they
left. Oh, he was a brother. Yeah. I don't believe
any of that, do you? No. Bullshit. No. No. It
serves their purpose to say it now. Yes. And
if I would, I would respect this more. You don't
dog them. What you do is go, well, we had our
differences, but I'm sad. Exactly. Yes. Exactly.
But the fashion now is to suddenly pretend as
if you always loved each other. Gene Simmons
coming out fucking sobbing does nothing for me.
He's been an actor his whole life. Yes. Why would
he change now? Bullshit. If he was still alive,
they'd still be quarreling, making fun of each
other, saying shit. No, that's the way it is.
And, no, it pisses me off that they think that,
well, probably most people are that gullible
and go, see, they really did love each other.
No. I don't believe that for one minute. No.
They want your money. No. It's what you say when
someone passes away. How dare you just tell the
truth and go, well, we had our differences, and
I can't say I was a huge fan of some of the stuff,
but, you know, I'm sad and feel bad for his family.
God rest his soul, that good stuff. Yeah. All
right. But, no, I agree with you 100 ,000%, but
the funny thing is, before this came up, I've
always thought that. That a lot of this stuff
was taken from Ace. A lot of it. Especially the
newer solos. Not now, but the solos in the 80s
were all tempered around Ace. Yeah. Hello, this
is Phineas J. Altaris III. I'm here to deliver
your music news this evening. Hold the line.
Toto's U .S. tour is coming together just fine.
I didn't write that. Legendary rock band Toto
will be touring as an evening with Steve Lukather
and Joseph Williams. They have curated a set
list for this entire excursion. February 18th,
the tour kicks off in Milwaukee and will wrap
up in Buffalo, Michigan. Our home base of Kansas
City is getting snubbed, unless you feel like
traveling to Tulsa, Omaha, or Des Moines. That's
not very far to travel, so if you love Toto,
there you go. This is Phineas J. Baltar S. III.
That has been your music news for this evening.
I have one burning question for you all. Do people
really skip around the Maypole? The bridge, the
structure, everything. The note bending. the
note bending was stolen from him or at least
borrowed so many times especially the more musical
of the solos because i remember a lot of 80s
bands would learn the flashy techniques of eddie
but no and then just throw them in there as you
know well it's a rock song so you have to have
a certain amount of finger tapping dive bombing
on your tremolo or whatever and it just got really
boring people built their career on that yeah
it was power chords in this flash in the middle
yeah Yeah, and the power chords, that was 70s
arena rock, lots of power chords. And then in
the 80s, it was like, well, keep using that,
but then we'll throw in all the finger tapping
and the Floyd Rose and all that stuff. The Floyd
Rose, yeah. So much of it was just boring and
meaningless. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you're
right, and that goes to one of my bullet points,
and we'll get to it later, but I'll tell you
what it is. Have glam bands been snubbed from
the hall? And that's one of the reasons. But
we'll go to that later. Go ahead. You've got
something you're going into. As long as we're
talking about KISS, I looked it up again this
morning. Knights in Satanic Service? Yeah. Or
it could be Knights in Saint Service. Oh, it's
that. You're right. Yeah, they were highly Christian.
Even the two Jews? Yes. Okay. Wait, Bob Dylan
was a Jew and a Christian? You know what? It's
possible. I stand corrected. Yeah, sometimes
the yarmulke falls off. Yes, it does. The blood
doesn't, but the yarmulke does. Okay, I checked
this again this morning. Kiss sold everything
to the Pop House Entertainment Group of Sweden,
PEG, for $300 million. They sold the music, the
master recordings, the publishing rights, the
name, the likenesses, everything. Which surprised
me, by the way. Yeah, it did. But what surprises
me even more is to read an article yesterday
or the day before saying Paul and Gene are together
writing new songs for Kiss to be used in the
Avatar show. Okay. Because that's another thing
that Pop House Entertainment is going to do is
create the digital avatars and have the digital
show. The agreement was not released. The agreement
is completely different than the surface of sold
everything to. Okay. In there are provisions.
Okay. And if they come up with their own material
and stuff, it's a percentage. Okay. That makes
more sense. Either that or they're getting paid
directly from these guys. Yeah, because otherwise
they're just making money for PEG, not themselves.
No, there's language in there. I guarantee it
that that's what it is. And they knew this all
along. They're like, look, this is part of their
overall plan of their quote -unquote retirement.
But another weird thing is they recently performed
two shows in Vegas as Kiss. Yes, but no makeup.
But they don't own the name Kiss. They're not
legally allowed to perform under the name Kiss
unless Pop House Entertainment okays it. They
probably okayed it for money, but I think there's
also something with no makeup. If they would
have wore the makeup, I think they would have
owed them like 80 or 90%. Yeah. But I think because
they didn't have the full stage show and the
makeup that's now, you know, property of someone
else, then they were probably, they skirted it
and maybe had to give a little, but not like
they would have had if they would have came out
full on kiss. Yeah. And also Bruce Kulik was
there, which was interesting. It makes it sound
like they intentionally misled us to say, oh,
this is it, Kiss is done, we're never going to
be Kiss again. They did. But they knew they were
going to. My opinion is they did that all the
time. Yeah. Starting with their first retirement
tour. Yeah. At least Ozzy really did think he
was retiring. He thought he was dying. Yeah.
He did. And after that, to his credit, he didn't
do any more No More Tours after that. Yeah. He
did tours, but they weren't No More. Yeah. I'm
going to quit claiming it's the last one. Until
the one he didn't get to finish. All right, you
got something? The recent Springsteen movie that
came out, Deliver Me From Nowhere. Looks interesting.
And I'm not a huge fan. No, I'm not a real big
Springsteen fan either. But the weird thing is,
the movie is based on Springsteen's life about
the time he recorded and released the album Nebraska,
which was his sixth album. That one? Yeah. The
one he mostly records sitting in his living room
with a portable recorder. Why? Just him and a
guitar. Why that one? I have no idea. So you
get none of Bruce Springsteen, you know, growing
and learning and trying to break. None of that.
None of the young Bruce Springsteen or the E
Street Band doing all the shows. No, it's six
albums in for one of his more somber and kind
of sedate and depressing albums. I don't understand.
That's what the movie's about. I don't understand
what the whole point of the movie is. I don't
either, and a lot of critics are stretching their
heads. It's like, out of all the parts of Bruce
Springsteen's life and career, you picked one
of the most boring episodes in his life. I remember
when the album came out and hearing tracks on
it, and a lot of people were like, eh, this is
just kind of boring and dull and depressing.
We're used to Springsteen being fun and upbeat
and lively and energetic, and this is just bleh.
And that's what they chose to make the movie
about. No wonder it didn't do anything. No, it's
already gone from the theaters. I'm not going
to see it. No, I have no interest in it. It just
seemed like such a weird choice. Maybe that's
the only one they could get the music rights
to? I guess. Like I said, okay, I said it was
interesting, but I didn't mean it in a good way.
It's like, why did they do what they did? So,
I don't know. But Bruce Springsteen is just over
the moon about it. In fact, he's already talking
about a sequel, and he said, for the next one,
do it about this album, or, I mean, this album.
I hope you're financing it. Woody Allen -looking
motherfucker. Oh, God, yeah. I've never liked
him. I always thought he was a fucking loudmouth
pompous. piece of crap to me. Yeah. Well, it
didn't help that from the beginning his marketing
was aimed at getting the teenage girls to fall
in love with his sexuality. Yeah, but that didn't
work. Not really. And, of course, it totally
didn't work on me. It was like, oh, so I'm now
competing with this guy for the interest of teenage
girls? Because I was a teenager at the time.
Oh, yeah. Well, I think he probably had the sexuality
of a brick. Yeah. From what I could tell. Yeah.
When you listen to him talk, he's... Kind of
boring. He was a really plain looking guy. He
didn't dress flashy. He had a massive underbite.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he does not stand
out. Yeah. And that's one of the problems I always
thought with him is he did good on the coast,
but nowhere else really. Yeah. And that's just
because I loved it. He used to be Jersey. Loved
it. Yeah, oh yeah. Oh, hell yeah. But nah. Midwest
more belonged to John Cougar Mellencamp. Yes.
He's an Indiana boy. Indiana guy. Yeah. So he
was more our speed. And he's a guy that became
really, really old and bitchy. Very bitter. He
let all the social causes pretty much take over
his life. Yeah. So he just kind of gave up on
music. Yeah, to where nobody cares anymore. Like,
yeah, yeah, good music, but who gives a shit?
It's not that good. Yeah, well. So Alice Cooper
and Criss Angel doing shows together. They are.
They're advertising a great big tour. They're
adding dates. They're going to both be on the
stage at the same time. It's going to be a combination
of Alice Cooper live performance plus a Criss
Angel magic show. Illusion show. He does illusions.
And I've got to tell you, not interested at all.
I have zero interest. Alice does just fine without
Criss Angel. Yeah, I don't need him there. And
this is aimed at rehabbing Chris Angel's career,
I think. Probably. He needs a real leg up, and
he probably said, look, Alice, I'll finance the
entire tour, but my career needs a heart and
lung transplant. Yeah. So please let me come
out on stage with you so I can become cool again.
I think that's basically what's going on here.
You're right. And I love Alice Cooper. And I
tell people this. Yeah, it's the same show. But
I want to see it over. Yeah. I watch planes,
trains, and automobiles every time I sit down
during Thanksgiving. I can't get away from it.
And his backup band is so incredibly good. Yes.
You know, they're just all so good. Oh, my gosh.
He has the best guitarist. And he always has
a hot chick guitarist, which is smart. Yeah.
Except for that. What is it? A cross dresser
or whatever. Something like that that he had
for a while. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. I mean, that.
That. Yeah, he was introduced as Jossie Guse
or Gaius or something like that. Yeah, Gaius.
Gaius, I think that was it. He was announced
and brought out. Look, here he is. Here's the
news guy. And then nothing. I think he maybe
did one performance with him. Yeah, I think so.
And then it's just gone. Yeah, so traditionally
he hires hot women to go out there and play.
Yeah. Nita Strauss. And the thing is, Oregonte,
really talented. Nita Strauss is really talented
too, but she doesn't warrant the kind of fame
she gets. Yeah, she's not as creative. Every
time she plays, it's like I've seen people play
this exact kind of stuff a million times. There's
nothing new here. Yeah, it's like John 5. You
can practice, practice, practice, and get that
precise, but you never have that feeling. That's
her. He's like AI. Yeah, he is. Nothing new and
original. I think he is AI. He's just vomiting
out what he's absorbed. Look at him. He is AI.
He is a creation of AI. He doesn't exist. He's
like Max Hedren. Yeah, he is. The modern -day
Max Hedren. And that goofy dress -looking thing
that he wears. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you're
Scottish and you want to wear a kilt, that's
cool. Yeah, but this is like a nightgown kilt.
Yeah. Yeah, not right. Like, just trying too
hard, dude. Yeah. Just trying too hard. Yeah,
that's not right. They shouldn't, yeah. I think
the Alice Cooper and Criss Angel shows are going
to be a big success. I think he's going to make
a ton of money. But it's nothing I'm interested
in. I don't need to go out to a fine restaurant
and eat and at the same time have a demolition
derby going on nearby. It's just they don't fit.
I don't want the two together. And I don't want
a hard rock concert and an illusionist magic
show at the same time. Yeah, that's true. And
also, you know, some of this is for Alice, too.
Yeah. Because Alice has toured and toured and
toured, and like I said, it's the same show.
I think people don't get that excitement anymore
like they did because he comes by every year.
The dude is 77 years old. He probably can't handle
a two -hour show anymore. Yeah, so he's got to
split it up. Yeah, it's like, hey, I get to get
off stage for a half hour, 45 minutes while you
do your stuff, and then I come back, you know,
and this probably works out pretty good. Actually,
probably after we discussed it, a good idea.
Yeah. For them. Yeah, I mean, it works. It's
a great business decision. I think it's going
to make a ton of money. It's just I have zero
interest in it. And also, Alice gets to do like
a half hour, then leave, and then come back and
do a little bit more, which she probably needs
to do. Yeah. How about the idea of like if Ozzy
was still alive and could like get around very
well? Half hour, another band. Half hour, another
band. Split it up with other good bands. Like
them and GNR could have toured. Like Ozzy and
GNR could have toured. I have no doubt that that
would succeed. It would. Absolutely would succeed,
but I don't think anyone's got the guts and the
imagination to make it happen. I think there's
too much ego involved, too. Yeah. All they gave
one would be like, oh, no, no, we're not splicing
this up, and I get half of it. Ozzy would do
it. He didn't care. And the technology is there
for a rotating stage. Yeah. And put one band
on the front with the other band on the back.
It was time to switch. You rotate the stage around,
plug everything in. You're good to go. Do you
want to switch back? It takes 10 minutes. I would
at least go once. Yeah. And then see how it was.
If it sucked, then okay. But if it was good,
I'd be like, hell yeah, do more. Okay, you got
anything? I've got one more thing. Okay. It occurs
to me lately that you really don't get big bands
anymore. The only bands you hear about are the
ones that have been around since forever ago.
All you get anymore is individuals. Yes. And
they're on stage with like a whole troupe of
dancers and whatever. But the idea of a band
with a band name and everybody plays an instrument
and they're on the stage together, you pretty
much had to be popular. at least 20 years ago
before you have any kind of chance. No, it started
with the boy bands because none of them played
in this where they just went out there dancing
and shaking their ass. And that was the transition
from band to individual because it was a band
full of singers. Yes. And now it's, you know,
Jelly Roll, individual. Taylor Swift, individual.
Katy Perry, individual. Lady Gaga, individual.
There are no bands anymore. They pick an individual
who's got the right look and who they can build
a mystique around and who will follow instructions.
And you don't have to deal with a group of three
or four people who all have different opinions.
It's just this one person. Everything rides on
that one person. You don't have to talk one person
into doing what they're told. And you've got
a successful act on your hands. So it's easier
and cheaper for the promoters and the record
companies. But then we miss out because bands
are always better than individuals. Oh, I know.
Yeah. No, you're right. And it's vibe design,
too, because people don't want to hear musicianship
now. They want to see stars. Yeah. They want
to see stars on stage, and that's it. They don't
want anything else. Yep. Pretty much anything
mainstream music -wise coming out is just there
to make money, and that's it. If you really want
to hear good bands and good musicians, your local
music scene is about the best chance you have
for that. Because those are people who are still
going out and playing because they like going
out and playing. Okay, hey, Ramone answered me.
Oh, cool. Every week, Tuesday at 1030, I just
need a day's notice so I can plan ahead, but
would love to go. So let's go ahead and just
put that down right now. All right. All right,
good, yeah. He's going to be a really interesting
guest. Yeah. From drug cartels to high corporate
crime to actually high corporate positions. Guy's
interesting, that's for sure. Yeah. But we'll
let him tell his story. And actually, I lied.
I do have one more thing. Oh, okay. Let me get
to my... Okay, unlikely simultaneous historical
events. Okay. The one I start with usually is
there was a time in history where samurai were
still a thing in Japan. And Abraham Lincoln was
alive. And fax technology. had been invented
using telegraph. So there was a point in history
when it would have been possible for Abraham
Lincoln to send a fax to a samurai. Isn't that
weird? That is. You think of fax machines as
like, you know, 80s, earliest. Yeah. 1860s. That's
insane, isn't it? That's pretty fucking cool.
They get weirder. Spain was a fascist dictatorship
when Microsoft was founded. And what would have
been that time frame? 1975. Pretty much 50 years
ago this month is when Franco died and Spain
was no longer a fascist dictatorship. I guess
so. It doesn't seem like it. It seems like Franco
had been in the 50s or something, but I guess
not. Franco won the Spanish Civil War and came
to power in April of 1939. With Hitler's help.
Hitler sent his Luftwaffe over there to get combat
experience, which they used to pound the snot
out of holes. But Franco was a fascist dictator,
and he was part of the Axis with Germany and
Japan and Italy. But he kept constantly stalling
and putting off Hitler. Hitler was like, send
some troops, we need your troops. Oh, yeah. I'll
get around to that. I'll talk to you next week.
Yeah. And after World War II, everyone left Spain
alone because they never bothered anybody. Franco
wouldn't deport Jews the way Hitler wanted him
to. He wouldn't allow the Germans to come put
concentration camps and death camps there. So,
like you said, nobody gave a crap about him.
They're like, I didn't bother anyone. His human
rights violations really weren't all that much
worse than everybody else's at the time. Yeah.
So, they let the fascist dictatorship of Spain
exist until his death in 1975. Interesting. Isn't
that weird? Yeah. But think of all the people
who talked about going to visit Spain in the
60s and early 70s. They were going to a fascist
dictatorship, and they didn't think a thing of
it. Yeah, they had no clue, I know. And to think
that lasted until 1975 is insane. Yeah, Spain
has only been free for 50 years. Less time than
I've been alive. Wow, that's insane. Yeah. Here's
another weird one. There were no classes teaching
calculus in Harvard's curriculum for the first
few years because calculus hadn't been discovered
yet. Oh, wow. There was no such thing as calculus.
That's hard to imagine, too. Yeah, isn't it?
I mean, you figure, you know, like a trade school,
they wouldn't have aircraft mechanics until they
invented airplanes. But calculus. And Harvard.
Calculus came later? That's just weird. Yeah.
Wow. Here's one that blew my mind. There are
two world empires that span the entire gap. From
Jesus Christ to Babe Ruth. So when Jesus was
born, there was the Holy Roman Empire. And that
lasted. And then when that broke apart, the Ottoman
Empire took over. And that lasted all of the
time until Babe Ruth was alive. Wow. The Ottoman
Empire. The Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire
spanned the entire 2 ,000 years. The Roman Empire,
I see that. But the Ottoman Empire? Yeah. And
they only got wiped out by World War I. Yeah.
I guess so. Isn't that weird? Jesus to Babe Ruth.
Two empires. Man, if you put that on paper, you're
like, what? No way. I'm going to share it all
day long, but that being explained like that,
I'm like, I guess so. Wow. When the pyramids
were being built in Egypt, Giza, there were still
woolly mammoths on the planet. Wow. Living woolly
mammoths. So the pyramid builders could have
sat down to a dinner of fresh woolly mammoth
steak. Oh, what I was thinking is they put all
those stones on top of the mammoths and made
them go over there. That's how they did it. It
was mammoths. Yeah, there you go. Here's a good
one. No wonder Wolfgang's band is named after
them. Yeah, there we go. Connect the dots, people.
Anyhow. The last use. Of the guillotine in France
was the same year that Star Wars came out. 1976
or 76? 76. Wow. So as recently as then, people
were being beheaded. I'm in favor for it. I'm
in favor for it. If someone does something that
egregious, they should. Yeah. You know, and it
should be, to me, I've always thought this, let
the victim's families pick it. If it's a drawn
quarter in them, cutting their eyes out and making
them eat them, I don't care. Yeah, I think pedophiles
should suffer that fate. Oh, that would be great.
Rapists and kidnappers. And they say they can't
help it. Liability lawyers. Pull their eyes out
and make them eat it. I bet you they can help
it then. Yeah. Yep. Last one I got. Oxford University
in England. Oxford University was already 300
years old. when the Aztec Empire was founded.
Wow. That one seems... Yeah, you tend to think
of the Aztec Empire as like way back then, but
Oxford was already over 300 years old. Yeah,
you know what? I see it now, and it's true, but
if you just work that out, that's where those
ones are like, okay. They say that, but like...
Yeah. Wow. Okay. That's just kind of weird. Okay.
So that's my weird fact. I love that, and I like
breaking this up with stuff like that, actually.
It's kind of fun. Because not everybody appreciates
a hard rock music scene like we do. Yeah. So
they might appreciate some stuff like that. But
I have some bullet points. Sure. All right. Should
Richie Blackmore get a solo induction into the
Hall of Fame? I know it's worthless, but, I mean,
still. His body of work can influence multiple
generations with his style of innovation, not
to mention rainbow and also purple. We're not
going to throw in Blackmore's Night. I mean,
Druid music. But yeah, not only his performing
and playing abilities, I mean, playing ability
for the albums, performing ability for live situations,
and then songwriting on top of that, and then
to last so long and be relevant, have some of
his music. or a lot of his music still very popular
so many years on. I think that qualifies him
for an induction. Yeah, I think so too. I would
vote for him. Yeah, I would too. And the way
the Hall of Fame is now, I could vote for him
five or six times. Good point. Yeah, I've always
thought that he deserved it. I also think it
may be harder to prove with Tony Iommi. But I
think his guitar work was so influential, they
should consider it. Yeah. Maybe a different award
for like an Influencers Hall of Fame. Okay, that
would be it right there. And then Blackmore would
get it just on Rainbow and the other stuff that
he's done. Yeah. Okay. Should there be a fan...
I know the answer to this, but I'm going to ask
it anyhow. Should there be a fan voted inductee
into the Hall of Fame? Yes. Yes. And also, if
they win or not, should be? Hall of Fame, you
know, it should be voted by the fans. Yeah. Of
course, you've got to be careful about that.
There was, I think it was over in England, there
was, like, a car ferry boat that they had built
and was going to, like, you know, ferry boats
across a river or canal, and they let the public
name it. And you know what the number one name
they chose was? O .T. McVoteface. Oh, that's
right. And that's what they named it. Okay, you
know what? So I don't trust the fans to vote.
And also the ballot box stuff. People are going
to get in there and be idiots, just like they
are in the NFL. There's going to be 10 ,000 dead
Democrats voting for it. That's what happens
when you're a Democrat. You die and you vote
more often. You vote more often. So they never
voted in their whole life and all of a sudden
started voting in the afterlife. There was somebody
who actually wrote a letter of protest to a newspaper
because they found a bunch of people were exposed.
It's like, well, this person's dead and he voted
Democrat. And this guy wrote and said, my grandfather
was a lifelong Republican. There's no way he
ever would have voted Democrat. And I'm more
insulted that you had him vote Democrat. than
the fact that you stole a dead man's identity
to cast a vote. At least it could have been somebody
he actually would have voted for. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. That was hilarious. Yep. Have glam bands
been snubbed from the hall? Yeah. Yeah, they
have, and I think, honestly, probably good reason,
because so many of them were just big at the
time because of what it was. Yeah, they had the
right look and the right sound. You'd have to
get the ones with staying power. Yeah. And I
can't really think of any right off hand poison,
probably. I think if there's any of them, poison
should be considered. And Motley Crue, their
early stuff, yeah, but they really... Hey there,
slap nuts. It's time for the Creeps Music News.
Hey, my little pumpkin seeds. This is Johnny
Rohypnol with your music news. Almost two decades
after donating hundreds of signed books to the
Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, a legendary musician
returned to the museum Saturday to sign the book
he wrote about his massive collection. Geddy
Lee is best known as the lead vocalist and bassist
for legendary rock band Rush, but the Negro Leagues
Baseball Museum knows him best as the man who
donated 400 baseballs signed by Negro League
players. Lee returned to the museum today to
sign his new book about the stories tied to those
baseballs. called 72 Stories from the Collection
of Geddy Lee. Kendrick said Lee actually bid
on the collection at an auction specifically
to donate to the museum. Geddy, couldn't you
have at least played a small set while in town?
Casey isn't getting a tour date anyhow. This
is Johnny Rohypnol. That was your music news.
And remember, bar chords are bullshit. Nikki
Sixx has done his best, in my opinion, to destroy
their legacy. So right now, if it was me, they'd
ask me, I'd say no. And not, definitely if they
ever get in, not with John 5. Not with him. No.
No mention. As a matter of fact, they should
actually entertain John Carabi more than they
should John 5. Yeah, absolutely. Because John
Carabi wrote, to me, relevant music with him.
It would be listed as Motley Crue with Vince
Neil on vocals and John Carabi on vocals, and
then leave John 5 completely out of it. Yeah,
he's contributed. Yeah, you know what? I don't
even want to go into it. I don't believe that
John 5 has written anything for Motley Crue.
No. Anything they're claiming he wrote was probably
A .I. written by somebody else. I'm pretty sure
that last, that Dog's A War or whatever it was,
A .I. written was a horrible song. Even the video
was AI. Axl Rose just sent out an open apology
to all that he's done wrong. Is this a direct
result of Ozzy's death? Did that affect him?
I would think so, yeah. You can look this up.
He wrote a big letter. I mean, it's like a therapy
thing, too, but he wrote a letter to everybody
he'd done wrong, and he apologized, and he's
not that person, all that stuff, which I appreciate.
I'm not making fun of him. Yeah. That took a
lot of guts. Yeah. He could have easily just
been like, yeah, you know what, we were all fucked
up, whatever. Yeah. Kind of like Tony Iommi with
that whole being abusive to Lena Ford thing.
Yeah. His answer was... We were all on drugs.
Yeah, but did you beat her and almost kill her,
like she said? Yeah, we're all on drugs. That's
just like Prince Andrews. Did you molest his
children? Well, they said I sweat. I don't sweat.
Same bullshit. Dodging the question. Don't take
accountability. Don't say you're sorry. Just
come up with an excuse. That reminded me of Axl
Rose apologizing. It reminded me of... a musician
whose name is Ryan Adams, not Brian Adams. Ryan
Adams, yeah. Ryan Adams, alt country. Not the
Canadian, or no, it's the other one Canadian.
I think Brian Adams is Canadian. Yeah, yeah,
the other one is not. Ryan Adams. People get
him confused, yeah. Ryan Adams was, you know,
Ryan Adams of the Cardinals. He was also in Whiskey
Town. Yeah. So he did some alt country, did some
kind of semi -folk, et cetera. And a few years
back, he put out a public statement saying, you
know, I know I've been a jerk and an asshole
and hard to work with my whole career, and, you
know, I'm really sorry, and I'm not that guy
anymore, and nobody will work with me, and I'm
broke, and I really need to work and be a musician
again, so, you know, please, somebody, you know.
So I guess some people felt sorry for him, and,
you know, he kind of revived his career, and
he was in Australia and New Zealand on a tour.
And after a concert in Australia, he tweeted
out how sick he was of Australia and New Zealand.
Couldn't wait to leave. Oh, I remember that.
He hated it there. Making fun of the people and
the fans. And he was immediately... under a lot
of heat and fire. He should have been. Oh, I'm
sorry. It was just a mistake. I'm like, no, you
don't get that chance. Get out of here. You already
showed your hand. Don't try to correct it. It's
done. So obviously Ryan Adams is still the jerk
he's always been. He writes good music, and he
performs well, but he's a pretty awful person
to be around. A publicist got a hold of him and
said, this is going to affect your career. You
need to do something. Yeah. All right, Axel.
Rose, of course, was thrilled to finally meet
Ozzy at the back of the beginning concert. Ozzy
was equally thrilled to meet Axl. He posted how
nice it was to meet a legend in his age. Was
Ozzy correct? I would say so. I say so, too,
because he changed the whole music industry.
Yeah, and Axl wasn't the bad guy everyone thought
he was for busting up Guns N' Roses because Axl
was the only sober one in the band. And the band
would have either died on the road or been completely
taken advantage of unless Axl stepped in and
saved them. Yeah, he had anger issues and all
of the above. Yeah, he was an asshole at times,
yes. But the band thing was not his fault. And
I agree with him, what he did. Someone had to
save it, and he did. And he kept it going until
they all got back together, which was great.
Yeah, I think that he was right. I think Ozzy
was right because the music industry was changed
by accident. Yeah, very much. It was high hair.
And nasal vocals and the big wows and woos and
David Lee Roth knockoff stuff and all that. Okay,
so he came out there. He had a unique voice.
But the whole Janis Joplin effect transcended
music at the time. Because everybody, like, remember
Dangerous Toys? Yeah. That guy should have been
shot. Honestly. He was trying to be Axl Rose
so bad, I thought he was going to cut Axl's head
off and burn his face. And then there's many
other ones, including Grunge. Grunge's vocals
came from Axl, in my opinion. It didn't start
until after Guns N' Roses. And they did the,
oh yeah, wah, wah, and all that stuff. Same thing.
For the most part, they were imitating Axl, or
they were imitating Eddie Vedder. Yeah, Ethel
Merman effect, if you will. So, yeah, I agree
with him. Okay. Axl had one album without Slash
Enough. Chinese Democracy is the album. Should
that album not be labeled Guns N' Roses? I would
think, yeah. It was a good album, but... I mean,
classify it as Axl Rose from Guns N' Roses album.
Like they did with Black Sabbath with the one
with Glenn Hughes as the singer. Yeah. Seven
Star. Yeah. Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi.
Yeah. They had to do that because of the record
company because Tony Iommi was pissed. He was
like, no, this is solo. And they're like, nope,
we're not going to back you. Yeah. So then they
agreed to do that. And I think that could be
the same thing. It could be like, all right,
this is Axl Rose featured in Guns N' Roses or
Guns N' Roses featured in Axl or whatever. There's
a couple more albums like that. The Pink Floyd
album, Momentary Lapse of Reason. with Learning
to Fly and Dogs of War. That was supposed to
be a David Gilmour solo album. And it was excellent.
It was. I love that album. Very good album. And
another one, the Yes album, 90125. Oh, yeah.
With Changes and Owner of a Lonely... That was
supposed to be a Trevor Rabin solo album. The
guitar player. Yeah, the guitar player. I remember
that. And that was a great album. Yeah, it was
a really good album. That was one of their biggest
ones. It really revitalized their career. Owner
of a Lonely Heart. Let's see. There's another
big song on that, too. Leave It. Leave It, yeah.
Changes. Yeah, Changes. The song arrangements
on that were insane. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. All this
stuff coming at you from different angles. Brilliant
stuff. That's an excellent headphone album. Oh,
yeah. Listen with the headphones on. That's gummies
and a headphone. Yeah. In a hot tub. In fact,
I think that's going to be my afternoon now that
you mention it. Well, that's going to be me tonight.
I'm going to be in a hot tub with the fucking
headphones on listening to 90210. I'll just have
to boil some water on the stove. You're welcome
to come over. You're always welcome to come over.
I appreciate it, yeah. And the chemicals are
good now, so you won't get some skin disease.
Yeah. There you go. Got plenty of bromations.
All right. Axl had one album. Oh, no, no. Just
read that. Okay. I would love to hear another
Guns album. Do you think it will ever happen?
I think it will. I think so, yeah. They have
too many strong songwriters in that group, including
Axl. He's a great songwriter. So is Duff. So
is, of course, Slash. Do they still have Matt
Sorum on drums? No, they hate each other. Oh,
good, because he's a very technically proficient
drummer, but his playing just leaves me cold.
No, me too. I've never liked him. I don't know
why they chose to steal him from the cult. Yeah,
well, because Stephen Adler was bombed out of
his mind. They needed somebody. Yeah, but they
really seem like, yeah, I agree. It was a poor
choice. I mean, songwriting -wise and for the
sound of their... music. It was not a good choice
for Matt Sorum. They hate him worse than they
hate Steven Adler. And he hates them worse than
Steven Adler hates them. Yikes. The new guy,
Carpenter. Was it Duff or Slash? He said that's
the best drummer he's ever worked with. Nice.
I don't know that much about him. I'll check
him out. He's got a pretty good reputation. That's
all I know. Alright. Then finally, this is music
kind of. Johnny Dare was Grand Marshal of the
Kansas 400 at the Kansas Speedway. Nice. Keeping
his name out there in the public, right? Yeah.
Will he be back on the air next year, assuming
his no compete is over? I would say so. I think
it might take a couple years because it's going
to have to be 101 to Fox. Yeah. And I don't think
it's going to be a morning show. They seem to
be doing all right, that Sparks and whoever.
Okay. I think that it's... Chuck Nasty is in
his 70s. Yeah. And Doug Metlock is in his 70s.
Yeah. One of them, too, is probably going to
retire, and they'll be like, well, who can we
stick? Oh, Johnny Darrell already has an audience.
Yeah. You know, but I could be wrong, and they
could be like, we're going to move Sparks and
whoever to somewhere else, and we're going to
put him in first because that would cause a lot
of buzz. But at the same token, they're second
in ratings in Kansas City next to KCMO 94 .9.
Up there in the high nines. I mean, I almost
got a 10 share. And this, of course, is a Cume.
Breaking it down is completely different, but
they do well. They do really well on every day
part. Yeah. So I could see them not wanting to
tip over the outhouse. Yeah. But at the same
time, that's pretty good buzz and pretty good
following. So I think it's going to happen, but
I don't think it's going to be traditionally.
And also, Cume. Cumulus, I think it's, yeah.
Is it Cumulus? Yeah, they're owned by Cumulus,
Kansas City. The Kansas City division, I believe.
They're into hiring the person, not the people
around them. Every time they hire somebody like
Skip Rohde, they didn't ask for any of his, anybody
else's. They just got him. Doug Medlock, you
know, anytime they get a slacker, they're like,
hey, how about the rest of the morning? No, they
just want slacking. So, you see, they save money
like that. They get the name brand. but not all
the people around him, and they make it work.
Slacker changed the morning show to kind of a
really, really kind of a little bit of talk,
more music type of thing, and he had the Chiefs
song of the week and stuff like that, and it
worked. As a morning show, no, it wasn't the
most entertaining or nothing, but he's kind of
like the guy down the road. I've just seen him
doing that with Johnny. Those morning shows where
there are a lot of talk and skits and things,
those work better on a talk format anyway, like
a sports show. That's what they figured out.
But on a rock and roll station, if they're sitting
there for 20 minutes talking about what movie
they watched and where they went to eat and what
their golf game is like, it's like, dude, play
some music. That's why I'm here. Yeah, the FM
talk thing isn't what it was anyhow, but no,
that is the best way to utilize a show like that.
Yeah. Is where people don't expect music. Yeah.
They're like, yeah, I don't want to hear anything.
I just want to hear people talking about the
current events. So there you go. All right, that
is all I had of all of those. I got another weird
fact, if you'd like. Okay, sure. Recently, people
have noticed that the dogs of Chernobyl. Uh -huh.
The nuclear power plant that blew up in the 80s.
There's still a lot of wildlife around Cherry
Hill. In fact, you can go there, and as long
as you don't stay there too long, you're going
to get too injured. Don't they still play music?
Yeah. Yeah. Because there are people who work
there and maintain things. But yeah, it's a total
ghost town now. People noticed that the dogs
of Chernobyl were turning blue. Really? Blue
skin and blue fur. Mange? They had no idea. These
dogs looked healthy. They looked just fine as
they were turning blue. And, you know, for a
few years they were like, what the hell is going
on with these blue dogs? And so finally somebody
worked up enough of a financial backing to go
there and capture some of these dogs. find out
why they're why they're blue what kind of you
know bizarre mutation what they found out was
these dogs had found a porta potty that had tipped
over and were rolling around in the blue chemicals
i wonder what they did with the rest of the money
so they had this whole this whole expedition
to go find out about these bizarre mutation of
blue dogs it turns out they're just covered in
porta potty shit oh my god i love that i love
that I was expecting someone spray painting them.
Yeah. Hey, watch this. It's going to be a great
gag. This is even better. The dogs were doing
it to themselves. I know. Because dogs roll and
stuff. Can you imagine coming back to the financiers
and go, well, do you have some answers? Let's
not get to that yet. You know, it was a long
time. We took a long time trying to figure that
out. No, what were the answers? What was that?
Blue chemical you dumped in your toilet tank,
was that Vanish? Tidy Bowl or Vanish. Or Vanish,
Vanish, I think. Tidy Bowl, you put in the back,
and they had the little Tidy Bowl man in a boat.
Oh, yeah, a little boat. Yeah, yeah. That was
Vanish. You, like, poured it in there, and then
it supposedly got rid of all the shit stains.
Yeah. That's basically what's going on. Where
you ate beets and left a stain in there. Yeah,
there you go. Yeah, and we get rid of it. Oh,
and a side note, Jeffy X, tomorrow night, Jeffy
X is our sleuth that uncovers everything, you
know, like bad product designs. He's going to
have a complete guide to all devices found under
your mom's mattress. Oh, that should be a good
one. You're going to have to stay tuned for that
one. I do have, you had mentioned coming up with
bands that you want their original lead singer
back. So I'd come up with a list of some of those.
That'd be cool. Yeah, yeah, I got some too. So
go ahead. Let's see where my glasses went. Here
we go. So, first one I came up with, Foreigner.
I like the guy who's singing for him now, and
he sounds a lot like the original guy. I got
Lou Graham also. I want Lou Graham. I got him
too. Back in Foreigner. Awesome. But even though
it's not possible anymore. No. Stone Temple Pilots.
Scott Weiland? Yeah. Yeah. They weren't anything
without him. No, I know. Yes. John Anderson?
Yeah. He left on occasion, and they were going
to get the guys from Supertramp, Roger Hodgson,
to sing. And John Anderson came back. He comes
back on his own. Van Halen's another one. Uh
-huh. Sammy Hagar is nice and fun and stuff,
but the David Lee Roth days were just more fun.
They just really were. That's cool. I would like
to see Genesis back with Peter Gabriel singing.
I would too. I like that better than Phil Collins
always did. Yeah, I like the Peter Gabriel years
a lot better than that. I did too. Their music
was more unique. Yeah. Not so much pop -ish.
Yeah, definitely more of an edge. ACDC. No offense
to Brian Johnson, but I want Bon Scott back.
Me too. Me too. And I had that guy. I had that
too. Journey. Not their strictly other original
singer, but the one they had the most success
with was Steve Perry. I think he's better than
Arnel Pineda. Oh, I do too. More photogenic,
more the woman guy. Plus he invented all that.
He was online too. He invented all that, yes.
And not Robert Fleischman either. And on the
first album where they had Steve Perry, they
also had the keyboard player Greg Raleigh singing
lead too. Yeah, they did. That's right. And he's
decent. I mean, he's a good singer. There's another
one that I have that I share with you. I had
a feeling we were going to share a lot of them.
Jefferson Starship. Mickey Thomas is fine. But
Marty Balin is better. Yeah, Paul Cantner is
a deterrent. Yeah, but I want Marty Balin back.
Yeah, I do too. I agree. What about Grace Slick?
Eh. No, I don't want her back. I never liked
her singing. No. I mean, the song that I like
most that Grace Slick does is White Rabbit. And
after that, it's kind of like None. I'm okay
with her being backup vocals. Yeah, I am too.
As far as lead vocals... Me too. Just not that
strong. I thought Stevie Nicks was a better lead
vocalist than Grace Lick. And Stevie Nicks really
isn't all that great lead vocalist. I always
liked Christine McVie much better. Oh, me too.
Christine McVie was... I had such a crush on
her. Oh, she was such... I agree. She was smoking.
Yeah. And plus, she's a better singer. Yeah.
Deep Purple. I'd like to see Ian Gillian. as
the lead vocalist. Everyone else they've had,
it's okay. David Coverdale was fine, but Ian
Gillan had that incredible range. And also, he
had that magic. Burn was a great album. Stormbringer
was a good album. But then after that, well,
I know that Blackmore left and they didn't have
the songwriting that they did and everything,
but still. I mean, Tommy Bolan was a really good
guitarist, but he didn't have the same feel.
But I agree with you. Absolutely. Ian Gillen,
and he is in the band now. The problem is he
cannot sing stuff like Highway Star. Yeah, he
really can't. They do a deviated version of it
that to me isn't that exciting, but he can do
it. And they don't use backing vocals to their
credit. There's no shame in having somebody come
in just to sing those parts. Yes. Yep. And on
the subject of David Coverdale, I heard he's
retired now. Yeah, yeah, he retired two days
ago. Yeah. So he's decided he's done. And then
the last one where I want the original lead singer
back, Alice in Chains. You got, oh, Layne Staley.
There's just nobody liking. I agree. I think
I have two or three that you didn't cover. That's
it. He was such a train wreck as a person. Oh,
I know. Boy, he was fun on stage. Now, let me
look on here and see the ones that you didn't
cover. I knew that was going to happen. Yeah,
we were going to have quite a bit of overlap.
All right, hang on. Oh, Lynyrd Skynyrd's another
one. Okay. Was it Ronnie Van Zandt? Ronnie Van
Zandt, not Johnny Van Zandt. Yeah. His cousin,
I believe. Miami Steve Van Zandt. Okay, that's
one I didn't have, but I agree with that 100%.
I think it looks to me like there's one guy.
John Carabi and Motley Crue. Yeah. And all the
other ones you already mentioned. Okay. We're
reading each other's mind long distance. Yeah,
you know what? They're the ones that stand out,
and that's the ones that we got, right? Yeah.
Oh, and I forgot to mention this earlier. I want
to start a petition for Mahomes to grow his mohawk
back. Yes. Yes. Yeah. He hasn't been the same
since he... No, ever since he cut it, he's kind
of like Goliath. Yeah. Wasn't it Goliath? Samson.
Samson, Samson, yeah. Yeah, Delilah cut his hair.
Yeah, Delilah, and he lost all his, yeah. Yeah.
I think he needs to grow it back. He lost all
his superpowers. Definitely. All right. Oh, no,
I'm kind of hungry smelling this food. Yeah,
no kidding. Do you want to go find something
to eat and tell these people to go fuck themselves?
I think we should. Okay. Should I tell them again,
or did I just tell them? Tell them again they
weren't listening. Thank you everybody for listening.
You guys are so awesome. Go fuck yourself.
