WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.480
Hey, my fellow heavy breathers, this is Dash

00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:10.099
Riptide with your music news. For a nerd to take

00:00:10.099 --> 00:00:12.720
center stage on Stranger Things float at Macy's

00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.300
Thanksgiving Day Parade, I remember the infamous

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:17.679
Kiss float years ago where the large Gibson guitar

00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.280
on their float was replaced with a much smaller

00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.079
ugly one. Paul was seen mincing and bitching,

00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:27.469
so in other words, he was being normal. George

00:00:27.469 --> 00:00:32.390
Thorogood has announced a world tour. Minus the

00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:36.990
rest of the world. It kicks off March 8th, Thousand

00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:39.210
Oaks, California. March 10th, Napa, California.

00:00:39.310 --> 00:00:42.289
March 17th, Kamloops, California. March 19th,

00:00:42.289 --> 00:00:45.329
Parkland, California. It ends in Fort Wayne on

00:00:45.329 --> 00:00:48.270
March 31st with a Hamilton, Canada three days

00:00:48.270 --> 00:00:50.689
later. And that appears to be all the tour as

00:00:50.689 --> 00:00:55.250
of date. He is 150, so he probably is not going

00:00:55.250 --> 00:00:58.270
to tour more than that. This is Gash Rooktine,

00:00:58.450 --> 00:01:01.810
and that was your music news. If it's too loud,

00:01:01.890 --> 00:01:26.699
you probably have ear damage, just like me. The

00:01:26.699 --> 00:01:32.879
music creeps. There we go. It's gotten embarrassing

00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.719
enough. Yes. We made enough people shut it off

00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.180
quickly. Yeah, I was starting to cringe. I was

00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:40.680
getting ready to shut it off, and we're doing

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.239
it. I was like, where the fuck's the button?

00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:45.579
Who's making that? Oh, I'm making that noise.

00:01:45.579 --> 00:01:50.299
Hang on. Damn it. So your usual high -quality,

00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:53.260
attractive opening for the music creeps? Yep.

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.799
You see, but I was doing the smart thing. If

00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.879
I didn't like it, I was going to shut it off.

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.760
I wouldn't get online and try to motherfuck it.

00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:02.859
I'd be like, if it's other people's things, that's

00:02:02.859 --> 00:02:06.019
fine. So people would do that. I question their

00:02:06.019 --> 00:02:09.819
integrity and their soul. They're choosing hate.

00:02:10.060 --> 00:02:12.099
Yes, they are. I don't understand why anybody

00:02:12.099 --> 00:02:15.500
would choose to hate. Yeah, that's right. It's

00:02:15.500 --> 00:02:18.539
always a choice. So Joe Q Public on my friends

00:02:18.539 --> 00:02:21.449
list. If you're listening to this, turn it off.

00:02:21.550 --> 00:02:25.569
You don't like it. Fuck face. All right. We're

00:02:25.569 --> 00:02:27.969
already a minute in, so we got him hooked. We

00:02:27.969 --> 00:02:31.610
got him hooked. I'm having fun with it. I don't

00:02:31.610 --> 00:02:34.150
give a shit what anybody thinks about it at all.

00:02:35.030 --> 00:02:37.310
But it is fun fodder. It gave me something to

00:02:37.310 --> 00:02:40.270
work on. I'll take little jabs here and there

00:02:40.270 --> 00:02:42.990
if I get a response even better. But probably

00:02:42.990 --> 00:02:45.229
not because the hit and run guys like that, they

00:02:45.229 --> 00:02:47.530
don't ever respond. Do you remember jabs and

00:02:47.530 --> 00:02:51.389
runoff? I got him. Tiny little fist area. You

00:02:51.389 --> 00:02:53.330
need to come back and see if there's anything

00:02:53.330 --> 00:02:55.969
else going on. See what the effect is. Make another

00:02:55.969 --> 00:02:58.569
comment. Don't just leave it up in the air like

00:02:58.569 --> 00:03:00.830
a fucking mustard burp. Come on, bring it on.

00:03:01.650 --> 00:03:04.150
Bring your shit on, man. Bring them up. Come

00:03:04.150 --> 00:03:06.030
on, fucking raise those fists. Give me a fight,

00:03:06.129 --> 00:03:08.810
bitch. Come on. What the hell, man? You at home

00:03:08.810 --> 00:03:11.729
scratching your fucking ball sack, bitching about

00:03:11.729 --> 00:03:16.110
me, bitching about Topher. Crying about... world

00:03:16.110 --> 00:03:18.490
in general and how it's mistreating you. Yeah,

00:03:18.590 --> 00:03:20.650
yeah. Rob Rad doesn't really live in Lake of

00:03:20.650 --> 00:03:23.289
the Ozarks. That's bullshit. There probably isn't

00:03:23.289 --> 00:03:25.530
a Rob Rad. He's probably just AI. Yeah, that's

00:03:25.530 --> 00:03:29.110
it. Yeah. No, if you're Rob Rad, he's a very

00:03:29.110 --> 00:03:32.550
unique guy. He is Rob Rad. I don't think AI could

00:03:32.550 --> 00:03:35.990
replicate. No. No. No, I love him on the podcast.

00:03:36.090 --> 00:03:40.449
He is just so different. Yeah, that's what you

00:03:40.449 --> 00:03:42.490
need, too. Yeah, yeah. He's an excellent, I mean.

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.879
As far as people go, he's as good as they come.

00:03:44.939 --> 00:03:47.180
You can hand him your wallet and say, hold on

00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:49.240
to this for two years. There wouldn't be a penny

00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.520
taken out of it. He's a great guy, a solid guy,

00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.879
good guy, worked hard his whole life, good man.

00:03:56.379 --> 00:04:01.219
But his unique perspective on everything is really

00:04:01.219 --> 00:04:04.599
what caps it. He does not think like me at all.

00:04:04.659 --> 00:04:06.900
He doesn't think like Topher at all. I love it.

00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:09.479
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I remember posting once,

00:04:09.500 --> 00:04:12.139
if you agree with everything I believe and everything

00:04:12.139 --> 00:04:15.479
I say, you are really boring to me. Yes. Yeah.

00:04:15.819 --> 00:04:18.139
I agree. I'm going to say, I don't want to talk

00:04:18.139 --> 00:04:19.480
to you. I already know what you're going to say.

00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:22.259
Yeah. Yeah. And that isn't a bad thing. It's

00:04:22.259 --> 00:04:26.579
just like, I really don't, yeah, I don't really

00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:28.819
have a reason to say it, you know, because you're

00:04:28.819 --> 00:04:33.240
going to repeat me. Yeah. Yeah, so. Anyhow, all

00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.009
right. We are the Music Creeps. Craig, you got

00:04:36.009 --> 00:04:37.629
something you want to go into? I have bullet

00:04:37.629 --> 00:04:40.750
points for later, and I have some stories. The

00:04:40.750 --> 00:04:43.709
first story is a breaking one that I saw yesterday.

00:04:46.629 --> 00:04:48.290
There's some people that, you know, a lot of

00:04:48.290 --> 00:04:50.990
people don't like Nicky Sixx, obviously. I used

00:04:50.990 --> 00:04:53.769
to love him, but now he's become, to me, he's

00:04:53.769 --> 00:04:56.730
become an atypical asshole. It used to be you

00:04:56.730 --> 00:04:58.649
could hate on him for not being a good bass player,

00:04:58.790 --> 00:05:02.649
but he is now. So, you know, now you criticize

00:05:02.649 --> 00:05:05.610
him for the... questionable choices he makes

00:05:05.610 --> 00:05:08.790
as a human being. Well, whenever you have, like,

00:05:08.790 --> 00:05:11.209
opening bands writing songs about what you're

00:05:11.209 --> 00:05:13.670
crying like a bitch and stuff, you know, you're

00:05:13.670 --> 00:05:15.569
doing something wrong, especially after your

00:05:15.569 --> 00:05:18.790
teeth were cut by Ozzy letting you have anything.

00:05:18.930 --> 00:05:22.649
Yeah. He babysat them the whole time on that

00:05:22.649 --> 00:05:25.050
tour because he wanted them to succeed. It was

00:05:25.050 --> 00:05:27.329
so bad that Sharon had to start going along and

00:05:27.329 --> 00:05:29.410
going, what are you guys going to end up on a

00:05:29.410 --> 00:05:31.509
stretcher? And one of them did. I mean, it was

00:05:31.509 --> 00:05:33.850
from Hanoi Rocks, but, I mean, yeah, he did end

00:05:33.850 --> 00:05:36.790
up dead. Yeah. And then still ended up in jail

00:05:36.790 --> 00:05:38.810
for, what, one day or something? I don't know.

00:05:38.810 --> 00:05:44.350
Something like that. So, yeah, they gave him

00:05:44.350 --> 00:05:46.290
everything. And the reason he was being such

00:05:46.290 --> 00:05:49.230
a bitch, I mean, to me, I... I don't like that

00:05:49.230 --> 00:05:51.810
kind of guy. Yeah. And I can tell you what I

00:05:51.810 --> 00:05:54.110
think he is. He's a guy that got out of recovery

00:05:54.110 --> 00:05:57.189
and thought too much of it. Oh, that makes a

00:05:57.189 --> 00:05:59.629
lot of sense. Yeah. Now he's looking down his

00:05:59.629 --> 00:06:01.410
nose. Maybe he's one of those guys that can only

00:06:01.410 --> 00:06:04.029
be in recovery by looking down on everyone who's

00:06:04.029 --> 00:06:05.920
like. what he used to be. I could be completely

00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:07.660
wrong. I don't know the man. Everything could

00:06:07.660 --> 00:06:10.360
be completely misread by what we read. It could

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.100
be. But from what I've read, and if it's all

00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:15.420
true, what he's been saying and everything, I

00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:16.860
look at him and one of these guys go, I've been

00:06:16.860 --> 00:06:18.980
through recovery, so I know more than you. Yeah.

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.660
Yeah. No one can walk my shoes like they did.

00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:24.220
You know, that type of stuff. The high and mighty.

00:06:25.610 --> 00:06:28.209
Nose up in the air because I defeated it, the

00:06:28.209 --> 00:06:31.790
big bad addiction monster. Which is odd because

00:06:31.790 --> 00:06:34.790
most people, when they get through recovery from

00:06:34.790 --> 00:06:37.550
any kind of addiction, they feel humbled. Yeah.

00:06:37.970 --> 00:06:42.129
He feels like a king, I guess. I guess. Like

00:06:42.129 --> 00:06:44.129
the one thing he might have done right in life,

00:06:44.310 --> 00:06:46.889
he's going to jump on top and beat his chest

00:06:46.889 --> 00:06:49.949
about it over and over and over. But meanwhile,

00:06:50.029 --> 00:06:52.389
you do things that people that brought you there

00:06:52.389 --> 00:06:55.980
are no longer walking with you, like me. Like,

00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:58.519
okay, we have two shows coming to the new Morton

00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.959
Amphitheater over there on the Missouri River,

00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.240
over in Riverside area. Yeah. Okay. One of them

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.360
is Motley Crue, Carnival of Sins. They did this

00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.360
quite a few years back. Kind of an anniversary

00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.639
tour. Yeah, Tesla and Extreme opening. Oh, yeah.

00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:16.120
Yeah, which I'd love to see Tesla and Extreme

00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.300
both. You know Beckport. He's so much fun. Oh,

00:07:19.300 --> 00:07:22.699
my God. He's, yeah, fantastic. So, I'd love to

00:07:22.699 --> 00:07:24.420
see those two. Motley Crue, I don't want to see.

00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.040
Now Guns N' Roses is coming. That raised my eyebrow.

00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:30.980
Because they have not destroyed their legacy.

00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.300
No, they haven't. As a matter of fact, I think

00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:38.480
they kind of re -carved out their rock image

00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.639
in the rock and roll Mount Rushmore, if you will.

00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.740
Yeah, I think so too. They could have just fallen

00:07:46.740 --> 00:07:49.060
away and everyone said, yeah, well, whatever.

00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.600
did what they needed to do to kind of rehabilitate

00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.519
their image and be somebody that you could respect

00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.100
again. Yeah, and they have. Yeah. And they're

00:07:59.100 --> 00:08:01.319
still popular, and they'll still sell out. You

00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.720
know, Guns N' Roses doesn't need Tesla and Extreme

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.819
to support them. Yeah. I'm sure they're going

00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:09.860
to have a good opening band or two if they want,

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:12.319
but they don't need that. You know, Motley had

00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.939
to redo the Den of Sins or Carnival of Sins tour.

00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:22.300
Yeah. Yeah. So, anyhow, yeah. So that's what

00:08:22.300 --> 00:08:25.180
that legacy does. If Mick Mars is still in the

00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:28.180
band, unless he, okay, he stepped down, right?

00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.019
Then that is forgivable. You can't help that.

00:08:31.180 --> 00:08:33.960
But the way that they acted after, towards him,

00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.559
to me, is unforgivable. Give him his fucking

00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.379
quarter of it. He was a quarter of that band.

00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.039
They would have not done it without him and his

00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.879
specific tone that he reaches and his chords,

00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:48.059
although simple, did what they needed to do.

00:08:48.379 --> 00:08:50.179
It's just like Malcolm Young. You didn't mess

00:08:50.179 --> 00:08:52.480
with him. You're going to go, that's not complex

00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.320
enough. He's going to look at you and go, get

00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.440
out of here. You want to see how much money I

00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:02.440
made this band? So the legacy thing means a lot,

00:09:02.500 --> 00:09:04.440
especially to guys like us that grew up around

00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:09.860
it. I don't want to see Motley Crue. With him

00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:12.200
in it. Yeah. I don't respect him at all, and

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:13.879
I don't like what he's been saying, and I won't

00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:15.639
support him. Yeah, and I don't want any money

00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.940
of mine to go into his pocket. Exactly. So, but

00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:20.980
Guns N' Roses, I don't have a problem with them

00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:23.019
getting some of my money. No, and as far as I

00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:26.500
can tell, the former and current members of Guns

00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:29.970
N' Roses... get along. They don't run each other

00:09:29.970 --> 00:09:32.389
down in public, so that makes a big difference,

00:09:32.470 --> 00:09:34.889
doesn't it? Axel Rose has been in recovery because

00:09:34.889 --> 00:09:37.169
he was abused horribly as a child. Yes, he was.

00:09:37.370 --> 00:09:40.129
He got through it. He's a better person. He wrote

00:09:40.129 --> 00:09:43.250
open letters of apology. He humbled himself.

00:09:43.610 --> 00:09:46.370
He recognized his faults. He admitted them. He

00:09:46.370 --> 00:09:48.809
said he was sorry. You don't hear that from Nicky.

00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:52.129
No. So I'll go see a Guns concert. Yeah. I will

00:09:52.129 --> 00:09:55.129
not go see. And I used to despise Axl Rose because

00:09:55.129 --> 00:09:57.049
of the stuff he did. Yeah. Now I admire him.

00:09:57.049 --> 00:09:59.190
Now I understand him. Yeah. Now I admire him

00:09:59.190 --> 00:10:01.870
because he's like, he got through it all. He's

00:10:01.870 --> 00:10:04.830
a better person. Yeah. So he passed the test.

00:10:04.929 --> 00:10:07.590
He does. Nicky failed. Yeah. Whatever that smell

00:10:07.590 --> 00:10:10.090
is, it smells great. It does. Oh, gosh. That's

00:10:10.090 --> 00:10:13.250
like onions and peppers boiling. Oh, my gosh.

00:10:13.250 --> 00:10:17.470
Yeah. Yeah. You know, if my stomach had a boner,

00:10:17.490 --> 00:10:19.549
it would have one right now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:10:19.870 --> 00:10:21.690
If my stomach was a penis, it would be hard.

00:10:21.809 --> 00:10:26.070
My small intestine is getting hard. Yes. It's

00:10:26.070 --> 00:10:27.950
just like I love you so much, you make my middle

00:10:27.950 --> 00:10:35.789
finger hard. Well, anyway, Nikki Sixx is getting

00:10:35.789 --> 00:10:38.690
some heat now, and apparently there are people

00:10:38.690 --> 00:10:41.690
who are starting to rat him out about some things.

00:10:42.029 --> 00:10:45.389
Yes. And the one that surfaced yesterday that

00:10:45.389 --> 00:10:48.710
I saw is people are sharing some of the texts

00:10:48.710 --> 00:10:52.070
that he's been sending around. This one is dating

00:10:52.070 --> 00:10:53.909
back to when they're still, you know, kicking

00:10:53.909 --> 00:10:57.490
out Nick Bars or he resigned or however it happened.

00:10:57.850 --> 00:11:00.409
Depends on which article you read, how it went

00:11:00.409 --> 00:11:03.809
down. Yeah. Nick Bars wanted to be in the band

00:11:03.809 --> 00:11:06.990
on music. He didn't want to tour. Yeah, he's

00:11:06.990 --> 00:11:09.870
old and he has... Bad medical conditions. It's

00:11:09.870 --> 00:11:12.049
like Pete Townsend. He told Roger Daltrey, I

00:11:12.049 --> 00:11:13.490
still want to put out albums, but I don't want

00:11:13.490 --> 00:11:15.289
to tour anymore. And Roger Daltrey's like, screw

00:11:15.289 --> 00:11:16.889
that, I don't want to do anything. But then Pete

00:11:16.889 --> 00:11:18.830
Townsend started looking at Roger Daltrey and

00:11:18.830 --> 00:11:21.230
said, never mind, I withdrew my request. You're

00:11:21.230 --> 00:11:23.029
going to throw the drummer under the bus? Yeah,

00:11:23.210 --> 00:11:26.389
and then doubled down on him. And tripled down

00:11:26.389 --> 00:11:30.070
on him. Anyhow, Nicky, I've heard a little bit

00:11:30.070 --> 00:11:32.509
about this, but I never got the real story. Apparently

00:11:32.509 --> 00:11:34.769
when they were looking for a replacement guitar

00:11:34.769 --> 00:11:38.429
player, it was floated as a joke. He's like,

00:11:38.570 --> 00:11:40.570
hey, you're Nicky Six. Why don't you hire John

00:11:40.570 --> 00:11:44.950
Five? So you got Five and Six. And Nicky fell

00:11:44.950 --> 00:11:47.590
for it hook, line, and sinker and was dead set

00:11:47.590 --> 00:11:50.549
on getting John Five into the group and did whatever.

00:11:50.649 --> 00:11:52.769
He promised him anything, did whatever it had.

00:11:52.889 --> 00:11:57.309
He wanted him in just for that little. And the

00:11:57.309 --> 00:12:00.110
word is that now that Vince Neil is having trouble

00:12:00.110 --> 00:12:01.990
and having some strokes and having some issues,

00:12:02.070 --> 00:12:05.649
he's doing okay better now. But Nicky Six was

00:12:05.649 --> 00:12:08.230
thinking he wanted to replace Vince Neil. And

00:12:08.230 --> 00:12:09.950
he was going to keep the number thing going and

00:12:09.950 --> 00:12:13.210
try to hire Tech 9. I love that. So it would

00:12:13.210 --> 00:12:16.769
be Nicky 6, John 5, and Tech 9. And I guess Tommy

00:12:16.769 --> 00:12:18.929
Lee would have to change his name to Tommy 8

00:12:18.929 --> 00:12:24.350
1⁄2. No, probably 30. Yeah, yeah. Tommy 30 -inch.

00:12:24.470 --> 00:12:26.210
Yeah, because that's about the size of his dick.

00:12:26.269 --> 00:12:29.210
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He could throw it over his

00:12:29.210 --> 00:12:33.610
shoulder and still have room. So, I mean, imagine.

00:12:34.429 --> 00:12:36.690
Tech N9ne singing for, or rapping for Motley

00:12:36.690 --> 00:12:39.029
Crue. And all this is allegedly, you know, we've

00:12:39.029 --> 00:12:41.590
read this on the internet. Yeah, it was an anonymous

00:12:41.590 --> 00:12:44.129
source releasing these text messages saying this

00:12:44.129 --> 00:12:46.669
is Nikki Sixx. But, you know, I believe it. It

00:12:46.669 --> 00:12:49.850
kind of makes sense. It makes sense to me. So

00:12:49.850 --> 00:12:51.830
it makes more sense than anything else he's done

00:12:51.830 --> 00:12:53.929
in a long time. That's true. And it kind of explains

00:12:53.929 --> 00:12:56.450
why in the world did they hire John Fives. Like,

00:12:56.450 --> 00:12:58.529
well, he had the right last name, I guess. Yeah,

00:12:58.529 --> 00:13:00.929
there we go. No, I've never agreed with that.

00:13:01.049 --> 00:13:06.279
He is... A Rob Zombie guy. He's a crunch guy.

00:13:06.379 --> 00:13:08.679
He's not a Motley guy. Motley Crue is always

00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.179
a lot more melodic and had catchy hooks and had

00:13:12.179 --> 00:13:15.600
fun songs. And they're not fast. Rob Zombie's

00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:19.460
all about doom and sludge and slow and menacing.

00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.519
And also, the songs on Motley are slowed down.

00:13:25.129 --> 00:13:27.889
I mean, now you have Kickstart, which is a relatively

00:13:27.889 --> 00:13:32.009
fast one. And then Theater of Pain was kind of

00:13:32.009 --> 00:13:34.370
a fast album on rhythm -wise. But most of the

00:13:34.370 --> 00:13:37.950
time, you have that slide type of vibe on it,

00:13:37.970 --> 00:13:40.379
whether it's slide or not. But you had the chords

00:13:40.379 --> 00:13:43.139
that were, that hung in the air. Yeah, you need

00:13:43.139 --> 00:13:45.179
a slower tempo in order to be able to do things

00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:47.259
like that. You don't have something that takes

00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:49.919
a while to develop. If your song's going by at

00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:51.799
120 beats a minute, you know, you don't have

00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:55.220
time for that. Yeah, no, you had to support Vince's

00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:57.600
voice, which back then was Banshee -like. Yes.

00:13:57.779 --> 00:14:00.240
I mean, he really had a classic voice for this

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.019
stuff. Yeah. I mean, he had the look of David

00:14:03.019 --> 00:14:05.559
Lee Roth, but the voice that really did it. And

00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:07.539
he could still sing. I've heard him sing fine.

00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:15.360
But the problem is he's too erratic. He can't

00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:19.480
seem to hold it in the whole concert. And as

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.940
active as he's needing to be and walk around,

00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.820
the cardio needs to be there. He runs out of

00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:29.120
air. And then he gives the mic to the people.

00:14:29.419 --> 00:14:35.419
And he stops in no sense. Instead of like...

00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:38.799
trying to get through it without, like, running

00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:40.840
everywhere and huffing and puffing. He hands

00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.240
the mic, you know, he puts it to the crowd, and

00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.240
the crowd's confused, like, you just did this

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.500
in the middle of a line. Yeah. No, no, no, do

00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:50.879
left and right or something. Hey, oh, left's

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.019
kicking your ass, guys. You guys over here hung

00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:55.820
over? The hell, you know. You don't just, like,

00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:57.759
hand it to them as soon as you're huffing and

00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.460
puffing and can't see. Yeah. And people see right

00:15:00.460 --> 00:15:02.740
through that. And then people make funny videos

00:15:02.740 --> 00:15:06.120
about what you did. It looked like you said as

00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.460
opposed to what you did say. That was David Lee

00:15:08.460 --> 00:15:10.600
Roth, too. There were videos about him and his

00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:13.620
recent outing. It's like every other line, he's

00:15:13.620 --> 00:15:15.799
holding the mic out. For a while, he just held

00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:17.639
the mic out to the audience so they could sing

00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.980
a verse or two. Well, he does something questionable

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:25.039
like grab his ass. Yeah. Ew. I mean, that ass

00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.759
grab was creepy like come and get it, not like,

00:15:27.779 --> 00:15:29.840
hey, look at this. Yeah. It was kind of like,

00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:33.379
hey, it's open. Come on over. Like grabbing a

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:42.240
bleached -out prune. Yeah. He's Uncle Creepy.

00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:44.600
Oh, my gosh, yeah. He is Uncle Creepy. Oh, my

00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:50.379
gosh, yeah. He's like the... The very not politically

00:15:50.379 --> 00:15:53.240
correct older uncle that shows up at Thanksgiving

00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.559
that nobody invited. Yes. And he comes around

00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:57.500
and makes fucking jokes about the younger girls

00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:59.759
there. Oh, boy, you're going to be a real shower

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:03.320
later, aren't you? Look at those breasts. Boy,

00:16:03.460 --> 00:16:04.820
they're getting there, aren't they? Always gives

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:08.580
off the pedophile vibe. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yep.

00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.100
Yeah. And he wears, like, skin -tight stuff where

00:16:12.100 --> 00:16:14.519
you can count his little thimbles, like David

00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:19.279
Lee Roth does. The other day I was watching kind

00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:24.919
of an analysis show about the TV series House.

00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:28.519
Yeah. And one of the things the guy brought up

00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:35.860
was the creepy sort of semi -pedophile vibe that

00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:39.440
would surface in a number of episodes over and

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:42.230
over and over. In House? In House, yeah. There

00:16:42.230 --> 00:16:44.490
was one whole episode where it was a 15 -year

00:16:44.490 --> 00:16:47.909
-old supermodel who collapsed on the catwalk,

00:16:48.070 --> 00:16:51.649
and couldn't stop talking about her ass and her

00:16:51.649 --> 00:16:54.289
breasts and how hot she was and how sexy she

00:16:54.289 --> 00:16:58.090
was. And everyone just kind of raised their eyebrows

00:16:58.090 --> 00:16:59.870
and went on about their visit. There was another

00:16:59.870 --> 00:17:03.250
episode where an 8 -year -old girl dying of brain

00:17:03.250 --> 00:17:06.650
cancer, and she tells one of the other doctors,

00:17:06.730 --> 00:17:08.829
I've never been kissed, so he gives her a full

00:17:08.829 --> 00:17:12.240
-on mouth kiss. Oh. And just, you know, on and

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.240
on like this. And he was saying, now, this might

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:17.400
have nothing to do with it, or it might have

00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:20.000
everything to do with executive producer Brian

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:23.859
Singer, who, as it turns out, may actually be

00:17:23.859 --> 00:17:28.140
a pedophile, allegedly. Okay. And his name is

00:17:28.140 --> 00:17:30.039
there in under credits every episode. In fact,

00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:32.539
he was in one episode, did a cameo as a director

00:17:32.539 --> 00:17:35.619
during the episode. But they're saying he's the

00:17:35.619 --> 00:17:38.099
guy who put all the creepy pedophile stuff in,

00:17:38.140 --> 00:17:40.869
and everyone just went along with it. Okay, here

00:17:40.869 --> 00:17:45.730
is my version on that. Okay, I think that one

00:17:45.730 --> 00:17:47.390
of the things that the people that are really

00:17:47.390 --> 00:17:50.390
pedophiles do, they try to normalize it. Yes,

00:17:50.390 --> 00:17:52.769
exactly. And how do you normalize it? Pretend

00:17:52.769 --> 00:17:55.009
as if it's no big deal, it's just everyday stuff.

00:17:55.269 --> 00:17:58.269
Yes, and that's why these filthy groups like

00:17:58.269 --> 00:18:01.549
NAMBLA and all that are trying to normalize it.

00:18:01.650 --> 00:18:03.329
They're talking about, well, what's the big deal?

00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.640
They can make their own decisions. No, they can't.

00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.059
They're trying to introduce phrases like minor

00:18:09.059 --> 00:18:11.799
attracted person. Yes, and all that, trying to

00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:14.019
normalize it. Trying to say that, well, if I

00:18:14.019 --> 00:18:17.220
never touch a little boy, then no harm ever occurred.

00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.079
My opinion, that's what that guy's doing. I think

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.759
so. My opinion, yeah. Yeah, it's trying to normalize.

00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.799
And look at all the other things they normalize

00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.200
through popular culture. Yes. Yeah, they make

00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.119
stuff just, oh, that's just the way it is. It's

00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:34.720
fine. But it isn't. Yeah. So that was interesting

00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.640
to know that he was allegedly the person behind

00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.660
it working all that in. It is interesting to

00:18:41.660 --> 00:18:44.220
know you're right, yeah. They even did it on

00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:46.940
the show Frasier. Frasier's father, Martin Crane,

00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:53.359
ex -veteran. Slash was on Eddie Trunk's Trunk

00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:55.799
Nation the other day. Eddie asked Slash if they

00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:59.059
planned on doing any U .S. dates next year. Slash's

00:18:59.059 --> 00:19:01.380
reply was, yes, we are doing a U .S. tour next

00:19:01.380 --> 00:19:04.160
year as well as another album. He said they have

00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:06.859
more than enough material for a full album. This

00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:08.819
is great news for all the Guns N' Roses fans,

00:19:09.099 --> 00:19:12.400
including myself. Hired a police officer, injured

00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.720
in the line of duty, but later in the series,

00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.599
they make him a total perv, drooling all over

00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.599
the young women and making inappropriate comments.

00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.859
I think I quit watching it by that time. I'm

00:19:23.859 --> 00:19:27.670
glad I did watch it. They turned him into a total

00:19:27.670 --> 00:19:29.250
pervert. That's too bad because his character

00:19:29.250 --> 00:19:32.329
was so strong and good. Yeah, and they also turned

00:19:32.329 --> 00:19:35.710
him into an idiot. I did notice that. His back

00:19:35.710 --> 00:19:40.789
story was a veteran, went in the police department,

00:19:40.950 --> 00:19:43.650
became a detective, became an undercover cop,

00:19:43.930 --> 00:19:47.329
was a homicide detective. In the first few seasons

00:19:47.329 --> 00:19:49.789
he was smart, but then the last few seasons he's

00:19:49.789 --> 00:19:52.430
just a moron that can't quit drooling over young

00:19:52.430 --> 00:19:55.759
women. Yeah, that's crazy. It's sad. It's like,

00:19:55.859 --> 00:20:00.640
oh, let's just throw this character away. Anyway,

00:20:00.819 --> 00:20:03.619
music creeps. It's pop culture, too. Yeah, no,

00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:05.539
no, no. I like that, and we do. We've got to

00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:08.799
keep stuff like this going. I just dropped my

00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:10.680
pencil, but I'm not going to pick it up again

00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:13.000
because I think there's homeless vomit on the

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:17.720
floor. Probably so. I had one other thing. We

00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.779
can get to your bullet points. I love the bullet

00:20:19.779 --> 00:20:23.369
points. I do, too. Something I've been... I'm

00:20:23.369 --> 00:20:25.990
kind of getting the impression of lately is for

00:20:25.990 --> 00:20:28.349
guitar players, the tube amp is kind of on its

00:20:28.349 --> 00:20:32.170
way out. It came back for a while. We were discussing

00:20:32.170 --> 00:20:35.130
this before the show. Yeah, I mean, when solid

00:20:35.130 --> 00:20:37.490
-state technology kind of took over for tube

00:20:37.490 --> 00:20:42.509
technology. Attack pigeon. Yeah. That's two fucknuts

00:20:42.509 --> 00:20:45.289
in a recorder. They train pigeons. That's true.

00:20:45.369 --> 00:20:46.970
Yeah, they're trying to ruin our show. That could

00:20:46.970 --> 00:20:49.470
be a drone disguised as a pigeon. Yeah, they

00:20:49.470 --> 00:20:52.299
have that capability. Yeah, they do. They're

00:20:52.299 --> 00:20:57.660
in their mom's basement up in... Is it Gladstone?

00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:01.099
It's over here on the Missouri River, just east

00:21:01.099 --> 00:21:08.680
of Independence on 40 Highway. Oh. What is the

00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.950
name of that town? blanking on that. Well, that

00:21:12.950 --> 00:21:14.910
was a story we came up with a long time ago.

00:21:15.730 --> 00:21:19.930
But, yeah, the tube technology, everyone said,

00:21:20.029 --> 00:21:23.150
oh, old -fashioned, go solid state. And then

00:21:23.150 --> 00:21:24.910
realized, well, solid state doesn't quite sound

00:21:24.910 --> 00:21:28.609
the same. And then when the former Soviet Union

00:21:28.609 --> 00:21:33.269
fell, there were a lot of plants over there that

00:21:33.269 --> 00:21:37.630
could make tubes. Buckner. So tube had kind of

00:21:37.630 --> 00:21:41.490
a resurgence. It's kind of a combination of things

00:21:41.490 --> 00:21:44.430
now. One is the modeling amps are so much better

00:21:44.430 --> 00:21:47.490
at replicating not only the sound but the feel

00:21:47.490 --> 00:21:51.970
of how a tube amp reacts. Another one is quality

00:21:51.970 --> 00:21:54.250
tubes are getting really hard to find again.

00:21:55.650 --> 00:21:59.490
And a third one is tube amp manufacturers are

00:21:59.490 --> 00:22:03.059
cheaping out on the build quality. And one of

00:22:03.059 --> 00:22:06.299
the big things they're doing is instead of installing

00:22:06.299 --> 00:22:09.039
a socket for the tube, which, you know, separates

00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:11.099
it from the motherboard and keeps it from, you

00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:13.680
know, leaking heat into your motherboard. Instead,

00:22:13.900 --> 00:22:16.059
they're putting it directly on, the tube plugs

00:22:16.059 --> 00:22:19.019
directly into the motherboard. Oh, okay. So when

00:22:19.019 --> 00:22:21.160
the tube heats up, that whole motherboard heats

00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.720
up. And all those solder joints heat and then

00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:26.519
cool and heat and cool. And it cracks the board,

00:22:26.619 --> 00:22:29.000
it cracks solder joints, it screws up everything.

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:32.400
As to the point now where amps like the Fender

00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:36.420
Blues Junior, it's like a $500, $600 amp, but

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:39.119
the tube's plugged directly into the circuit

00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:42.480
board. You pretty much can't find anybody who

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.359
will repair that amp. If it breaks down on you

00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:47.819
and you need to repair, there's just about nobody

00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:49.700
who will fix it because it's going to break again

00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:51.359
right away and they don't want to have to do

00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:52.960
the warranty work. Yeah, you know what, you're

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.819
right, yeah. Okay. Now Marshall is doing that.

00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:59.799
Marshall's been sold twice since the Marshall

00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:02.559
family owned it. Yeah, it really bothers me.

00:23:02.579 --> 00:23:05.279
I try not to keep up anymore. It's such a proud,

00:23:05.460 --> 00:23:10.160
long history of amplifiers. It was sold to Sounds,

00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:12.519
and now it's been sold to some Swedish firm.

00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:17.279
But pretty much they're turning, unless it's

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.759
one of their hand -wired, high -expensive ones,

00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:22.880
then the rest of them are going to the tube directly

00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:27.410
into the motherboard. So the amps they're making

00:23:27.410 --> 00:23:30.809
are becoming disposable tube amps. If they break,

00:23:30.829 --> 00:23:33.109
throw it away because no one's going to fix it.

00:23:34.009 --> 00:23:37.970
They can't fix it properly. And then the people

00:23:37.970 --> 00:23:40.089
who work on tube amps are going to give up and

00:23:40.089 --> 00:23:42.970
retire and go do something else. Yeah, and also,

00:23:43.130 --> 00:23:45.769
you know, like the warning work. You know that's

00:23:45.769 --> 00:23:48.109
coming, so why wouldn't you do it? Yeah. Just

00:23:48.109 --> 00:23:49.930
like that's why a lot of people, let's say you're

00:23:49.930 --> 00:23:52.450
a handyman, you don't put in doors. Yeah. Because

00:23:52.450 --> 00:23:54.329
then every time they don't shut within a year

00:23:54.329 --> 00:23:56.680
or two. they're calling you up going hey there's

00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:58.579
something wrong with this it's like well it could

00:23:58.579 --> 00:24:01.460
be your house settling but you know but but since

00:24:01.460 --> 00:24:03.440
i did this not too long ago i'm gonna have to

00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:06.180
come out and figure something out you know which

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:09.680
usually shim the uh you take and you shim the

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:13.500
uh the hinges yeah and then bring it out a little

00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:15.660
bit but then you're forever doing morning work

00:24:15.660 --> 00:24:18.319
so it's same thing with that so yeah and then

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.380
the tubes themselves can still become a big still

00:24:21.380 --> 00:24:24.299
be a big part of music because we're seeing a

00:24:24.299 --> 00:24:28.279
lot more tube -driven effects and tube -driven

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:31.720
processors, like compressors, there are tubes

00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:36.779
in microphones, tube rack -mounted effects with

00:24:36.779 --> 00:24:39.380
tubes in them. So the tube technology they're

00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:42.779
going to still be able to use, but the amplifiers

00:24:42.779 --> 00:24:45.960
are going to be like modelers or something that

00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.539
plugs directly into your computer so there's

00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:52.619
never going through a speaker anyway. But in

00:24:52.619 --> 00:24:56.339
that way, the lack of service options are going

00:24:56.339 --> 00:25:00.519
to make the amp itself a real problem. But you'll

00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.720
still be able to buy tube -driven effects and

00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:06.640
processors, and then they can start ramping up

00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.019
the cost of the tubes, and they can become an

00:25:09.019 --> 00:25:12.880
exclusive high -end product. It's like, oh, we'll

00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:16.369
buy this tube -driven overdrive pedal. and put

00:25:16.369 --> 00:25:19.490
a $150 tube in, and then it's going to sound

00:25:19.490 --> 00:25:21.329
good. They'll get people to think, oh, my God,

00:25:21.390 --> 00:25:23.549
I've got to get an awesome tube, but I only have

00:25:23.549 --> 00:25:25.950
to buy one, so it's worth it. What a great ploy,

00:25:25.950 --> 00:25:30.349
too. Yeah. Yeah. So whatever tube they're deciding,

00:25:30.490 --> 00:25:32.950
usually it's the 12AX7. That's a pretty common

00:25:32.950 --> 00:25:35.490
preamp tube. So if that's their plan, they're

00:25:35.490 --> 00:25:38.670
going to manufacture a metric buttload of them

00:25:38.670 --> 00:25:42.119
and then suddenly make them exclusive. and then

00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:43.740
they're going to take one out of the box and

00:25:43.740 --> 00:25:47.140
say, oh, this one's the special, you know, extra

00:25:47.140 --> 00:25:50.039
this or that. It's $20 more. And then they'll

00:25:50.039 --> 00:25:51.779
reach in the same box, pull another one, and

00:25:51.779 --> 00:25:55.200
this has twice it, so it's $50 more. It's just

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:57.400
all going to be lies and hype. Oh, yeah. But

00:25:57.400 --> 00:25:59.319
they're going to make the tube into something

00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:03.359
that people don't really get all that well. Oh,

00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:04.980
yeah. And they're going to pay whatever they're

00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:06.859
told to pay. I've figured out what they're doing

00:26:06.859 --> 00:26:09.900
over there. Turn around and look. That one lady

00:26:09.900 --> 00:26:11.880
has been, like, all over the place pointing and

00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:13.359
stuff. They're putting up Christmas decorations.

00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:16.119
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Look at those down here on this

00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:18.559
side. That's nice. I like it. Yeah, I kept looking

00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:20.240
over there because she's been walking around

00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:23.279
kind of, like, you know, pissy and, like, expressive.

00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:25.579
Do this. Do that. Yeah, yeah. And I couldn't

00:26:25.579 --> 00:26:27.440
figure out what was going on. Okay, they're putting

00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:30.660
up Christmas decorations. Yeah. Very cool. So

00:26:30.660 --> 00:26:32.579
that's my prediction. The tube amp is going to

00:26:32.579 --> 00:26:34.980
go away, but tubes themselves are going to become

00:26:34.980 --> 00:26:39.950
something expensive and status -driven. Because

00:26:39.950 --> 00:26:41.369
right now, you're typically like, I've got a

00:26:41.369 --> 00:26:43.529
tube amp. It's not like, eh. I'm going to say,

00:26:43.630 --> 00:26:46.009
hey, my effects pedal has this special tube in

00:26:46.009 --> 00:26:47.950
it. That gets it right there. It's like, oh,

00:26:48.150 --> 00:26:51.470
okay, I'm listening. And that's a big part of

00:26:51.470 --> 00:26:54.029
business is find something that you can brag

00:26:54.029 --> 00:26:56.569
about and make other people envious, and then

00:26:56.569 --> 00:26:58.750
they will come to you begging to buy your product.

00:26:58.990 --> 00:27:01.849
It's typical. It happens all the time. Some of

00:27:01.849 --> 00:27:04.029
the worst products, you know, they do that, and

00:27:04.029 --> 00:27:07.410
it just explodes overnight. Like a pet rock.

00:27:07.950 --> 00:27:10.470
Yes, yeah. There actually was a pet rock. I mean,

00:27:10.490 --> 00:27:12.750
look it up if you don't remember. But it became

00:27:12.750 --> 00:27:15.289
a status thing. They didn't really even have

00:27:15.289 --> 00:27:17.690
to advertise because other people would talk

00:27:17.690 --> 00:27:19.690
you into it. Oh, this is cute. Get a pet rock.

00:27:19.789 --> 00:27:21.750
Yeah, people would have it on their desk as a

00:27:21.750 --> 00:27:23.150
paperweight. People would go, what's that? Oh,

00:27:23.170 --> 00:27:25.789
that's my pet rock. What? That's my pet rock.

00:27:26.170 --> 00:27:29.089
And when the popularity started to wane, they

00:27:29.089 --> 00:27:32.750
came up with pet rock funerals. Did your pet

00:27:32.750 --> 00:27:34.630
rock die? I forgot about that. Buy this coffin

00:27:34.630 --> 00:27:39.920
and bury it. And people did it. If there was

00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:41.859
social media back then, you would have had like

00:27:41.859 --> 00:27:44.299
three years of people burying their fucking pet

00:27:44.299 --> 00:27:47.160
rock. Yeah, this was all word of mouth. I mean,

00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:49.339
you could call somebody on the telephone and

00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:51.339
tell them about it, but that was it for social

00:27:51.339 --> 00:27:53.900
media. That's the ultimate cruelty. You take

00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:56.079
a rock that worked its way up from the ground,

00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:58.799
and then you put it back in the ground in a box.

00:27:58.980 --> 00:28:01.779
Oh, gosh, that poor rock. Yeah, poor thing. He's

00:28:01.779 --> 00:28:06.440
like, hey, wait a minute. It took me 10 ,000

00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.599
years to get up there, and now you guys are putting

00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:10.839
me in a box and putting me in the ground again.

00:28:11.339 --> 00:28:15.380
I'd be furious. I would be too. All right, should

00:28:15.380 --> 00:28:18.579
we go to bullet points? Yes. All right. David

00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:21.740
Coverdale. Retiring. Yeah, and now this is retirement

00:28:21.740 --> 00:28:25.680
a week ago. Which Whitesnake album is the best?

00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.140
The one with Ainsley Dunbar on it. Sliding In?

00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:32.980
Yeah. Yeah, that is their best. It's when they

00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:35.819
adopted that. White Snake logo that was on the

00:28:35.819 --> 00:28:39.119
album. John Sykes. Yeah. Also. Yeah, they did.

00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:42.400
They developed that White Snake cover. Ainsley

00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:45.599
Dunbar, number one. John Sykes, also. Because

00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:47.900
John Sykes is responsible for all their hits.

00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:49.799
Yeah. Well, most of them. Most of them. He was

00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:52.440
a heck of a writer. Oh, yeah. And they had a

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:53.940
falling out. I don't know what happened, but

00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:56.339
he quit the band before they hit it really big

00:28:56.339 --> 00:28:58.660
with their self -titled album. Yeah. Geffen Records

00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:01.960
picked him up. They prettied up David Coverdale

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:04.839
like crazy. They Bon Jovi'd him. At the time,

00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:06.539
they Bon Jovi'd him. They looked very similar

00:29:06.539 --> 00:29:08.000
in the way they dressed and looked and everything.

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:10.440
That's similar to being Sunday Night Footballed.

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:12.420
Yes, Sunday Night Footballed. That's where they

00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:15.720
take your song and they turn it into a weird

00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:20.720
caricature of itself. Yes. Like they did before

00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:24.180
Joan Jett's song. Yeah, with songs like Slide

00:29:24.180 --> 00:29:28.200
It In and Slow and Easy and some of that classic,

00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:33.099
classic. Not only drums, the backbeat, the bass,

00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.519
everything. Just so classy. I'll clear up a misconception.

00:29:38.539 --> 00:29:41.640
The album was Ainsley Dunbar drumming, but the

00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:44.880
video is Tommy Aldridge. Yes. Because Ainsley

00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:47.920
Dunbar quit and they hired Tommy Aldridge and

00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:50.099
had him mime along. No, and everybody thought

00:29:50.099 --> 00:29:52.039
it was Tommy Aldridge, but it was not. It was

00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.900
Ainsley Dunbar. And David Grohl had to do that

00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:59.210
for a couple of Nirvana videos. because some

00:29:59.210 --> 00:30:02.089
of those songs from their Nevermind album, the

00:30:02.089 --> 00:30:04.130
drumming was done by a different drummer who

00:30:04.130 --> 00:30:07.069
was before Dave, so he had to fake along with

00:30:07.069 --> 00:30:09.230
the other guy's drumming for the video. Yeah,

00:30:09.369 --> 00:30:12.910
yeah, I can't remember which song. I think one

00:30:12.910 --> 00:30:14.809
was Come As You Are. I think so, yeah. Yeah,

00:30:14.809 --> 00:30:18.730
with a really, really unique bass, which turns

00:30:18.730 --> 00:30:22.069
out is easy to do when they showed it. Whoa,

00:30:22.190 --> 00:30:26.029
Mark sees it again. No, the cello. Yeah, the

00:30:26.029 --> 00:30:28.079
bass player. Yeah, he showed how to do it one

00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:31.559
time, and you just let the echo reverb, and it

00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:34.079
comes up on its own. It's like dun -a -dun -a

00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:38.240
-dun, then it fills in. Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:41.180
how he does that. Of course, it's more complicated

00:30:41.180 --> 00:30:43.539
than that. I'm just making it like a common version.

00:30:43.539 --> 00:30:45.440
There's a Van Halen song like that, too, where

00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.259
he's using an echo. Yeah. So he's not playing

00:30:48.259 --> 00:30:51.099
all of the chords you're hearing. He's letting

00:30:51.099 --> 00:30:53.859
the echo fill in. Yeah, and it works out perfectly.

00:30:53.980 --> 00:30:57.259
The beat is perfect on that song. Come As You

00:30:57.259 --> 00:30:59.420
Are, and also the Van Halen song, which we can't

00:30:59.420 --> 00:31:01.519
think of. Oh, it's the beginning of Panama. Panama,

00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:05.519
yeah. Okay, we agree. Slide It In is the best.

00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:08.279
Second best would be the self -titled album when

00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:12.160
Geffen picked them up that went enormous. Which

00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:15.619
is the one with Slow and Easy? That's Slide It

00:31:15.619 --> 00:31:24.240
In. No, maybe not Slow and Easy. Still of the

00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:27.589
Night? No, it's the one I've got in my car. The

00:31:27.589 --> 00:31:30.190
last song on it, I think, is Babe, Don't You

00:31:30.190 --> 00:31:31.750
Leave Me This Way, something like that. Yeah,

00:31:31.750 --> 00:31:35.809
yeah, yeah, yes. That song is amazing. That song

00:31:35.809 --> 00:31:37.609
is kind of almost like... Prayer for the Dying

00:31:37.609 --> 00:31:41.410
is on it. Yeah, that song, those two songs in

00:31:41.410 --> 00:31:44.009
particular, are almost like a throwback to the

00:31:44.009 --> 00:31:47.430
old Purple stuff before they disbanded and then

00:31:47.430 --> 00:31:51.410
the original band came back. The MK3 lineup or

00:31:51.410 --> 00:31:54.130
4 lineup, whatever it was. Actually... Yeah,

00:31:54.130 --> 00:31:57.490
because they started getting into funk and some

00:31:57.490 --> 00:32:00.690
of the blues and some of the almost Led Zeppelin

00:32:00.690 --> 00:32:03.150
-ish stuff. True. And that's when Blackmore said,

00:32:03.269 --> 00:32:05.690
I don't want to do this anymore. I don't like

00:32:05.690 --> 00:32:09.940
it. I'm going to go form my own band. I wonder

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:11.960
if some of that wasn't written back then, and

00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:14.940
he just took it with him. Oh, yeah. A lot of

00:32:14.940 --> 00:32:16.640
times you'll get songs on an album that were

00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:18.740
written seven, eight years ago, and they just

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:20.980
never fit, and they never fit. Or they never

00:32:20.980 --> 00:32:23.279
came up with the part that finishes the song.

00:32:23.500 --> 00:32:28.900
Yeah. Yeah, so, yeah. So, yeah, those songs like

00:32:28.900 --> 00:32:30.680
Babe Don't Ever Leave Me and stuff like that

00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:34.160
are kind of like the classic crooner kind of

00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:41.869
driving song. Yeah. The album, Whitesnake, Whitesnake,

00:32:41.890 --> 00:32:44.690
the one that hit huge when Geffen signed them

00:32:44.690 --> 00:32:48.950
in America and promoted them and all that, all

00:32:48.950 --> 00:32:51.930
of those songs were written by Sykes and Coverdell

00:32:51.930 --> 00:32:53.890
also, and also there have been a couple other

00:32:53.890 --> 00:32:57.329
influences. But I think Altridge had something

00:32:57.329 --> 00:33:02.609
to do with that writing. Let's see, who else

00:33:02.609 --> 00:33:06.710
was it? Oh, well, it doesn't matter. Yeah. All

00:33:06.710 --> 00:33:09.829
right. Motley Crue, Tesla, and Extreme are touring

00:33:09.829 --> 00:33:12.509
this coming summer. Is that lineup strong enough

00:33:12.509 --> 00:33:15.309
to buy a ticket and leave when Motley comes up?

00:33:16.569 --> 00:33:18.829
Depends on how much they are is what I say. Yeah,

00:33:18.930 --> 00:33:21.950
yeah, I'd say so. I've never seen Tesla. I'd

00:33:21.950 --> 00:33:24.009
like to see Tesla. I don't care how many original

00:33:24.009 --> 00:33:25.990
members are in it. Back when I saw them, they

00:33:25.990 --> 00:33:28.289
were boring, but I was much younger. Yeah. Now

00:33:28.289 --> 00:33:30.529
I probably like them. Yeah. I remember not liking

00:33:30.529 --> 00:33:32.549
Cinderella all that well because I didn't like

00:33:32.549 --> 00:33:35.809
the way the lead vocalist sounded, but I like

00:33:35.809 --> 00:33:40.970
him now. But Tesla I'd like to see. Extreme,

00:33:41.130 --> 00:33:43.589
as long as Nuno's in the band, I'll go for that.

00:33:43.849 --> 00:33:47.509
Yes. Well, I also like Gary Cherone. Yeah. Not

00:33:47.509 --> 00:33:50.349
in Van Halen, but with Extreme, he's fantastic.

00:33:50.789 --> 00:33:53.390
And actually, that whole album, Van Halen 3,

00:33:53.450 --> 00:33:55.710
was a good album. It was, yeah. It's just you

00:33:55.710 --> 00:33:57.809
could not put that many prolific lead singers

00:33:57.809 --> 00:34:00.799
in a band. And have people accept it. Finally,

00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:02.920
there's a point where they're like, no more.

00:34:04.180 --> 00:34:07.319
That's it. And that's what they came up against.

00:34:07.579 --> 00:34:10.340
And you don't spend $2 million on a $100 ,000

00:34:10.340 --> 00:34:13.320
making video. Really? Yeah. But yeah, I'd like

00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:15.860
to see Tesla in Extreme. I could skip Motley

00:34:15.860 --> 00:34:18.699
Crue, of course. And if it's just going to be

00:34:18.699 --> 00:34:20.579
those two, I'd like to go see them in Knuckleheads.

00:34:20.860 --> 00:34:23.000
You know, a small venue like that. Yeah, me too.

00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:27.090
I'm with you. I'm with you. If it's not selling

00:34:27.090 --> 00:34:28.849
very well and they're trying to fill up the amphitheater,

00:34:28.869 --> 00:34:31.050
you get one for $25 or something. Yeah. Yeah,

00:34:31.050 --> 00:34:33.750
all day long. Yeah. But other than that, no,

00:34:33.849 --> 00:34:36.989
I'm not paying real ticket price to go watch

00:34:36.989 --> 00:34:39.510
two bands that I will eventually see at Knuckleheads

00:34:39.510 --> 00:34:47.289
or Uptown. Yeah. Yeah. Who is the very best rock

00:34:47.289 --> 00:34:52.110
guitarist still living? Ryan May has to be in

00:34:52.110 --> 00:34:56.449
the conversation. Tony Iommi. Tony Iommi. Well,

00:34:56.550 --> 00:34:58.889
now that Ace is gone, you can't put him in there.

00:34:59.090 --> 00:35:02.230
True, true. Well, he is a healthy songwriter.

00:35:03.070 --> 00:35:06.510
But it was also him and Paul Stanley both writing

00:35:06.510 --> 00:35:12.309
together that really had that magic. Yeah. Rick

00:35:12.309 --> 00:35:15.110
Derringer's died, so that one counts. Oh, yeah,

00:35:15.170 --> 00:35:18.710
that's gone now. I forgot. Richard Blackmore.

00:35:18.849 --> 00:35:24.550
Yeah. He's barely hanging in there. Stevie Ray

00:35:24.550 --> 00:35:27.789
Vaughan's gone. I think I'd have to go to Brian

00:35:27.789 --> 00:35:30.409
May right now. Even though he's not really musically

00:35:30.409 --> 00:35:35.610
active, the amount of awesome songs and riffs

00:35:35.610 --> 00:35:39.050
and just his guitar sound in general. What about

00:35:39.050 --> 00:35:44.289
Jimmy Page? I like Jimmy Page, but... No, you're

00:35:44.289 --> 00:35:46.429
like me. You like him, but he's not that upper,

00:35:46.510 --> 00:35:49.329
upper. He's right below. Just barely below, but

00:35:49.329 --> 00:35:53.380
he's right below. Even though his body of work

00:35:53.380 --> 00:35:55.539
is probably better than most people's. Yeah.

00:35:55.699 --> 00:35:57.860
I mean, he was able to leave Zeppelin and be

00:35:57.860 --> 00:36:00.099
successful in a couple of bands. Yeah. Coverdale

00:36:00.099 --> 00:36:03.019
Page, The Firm. He worked with Plant on his solo

00:36:03.019 --> 00:36:05.639
album. Yeah, yes. He's had a body of work. He's

00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:07.780
done a lot more than that. Yeah. He's appeared

00:36:07.780 --> 00:36:09.500
on a lot of different things that people would

00:36:09.500 --> 00:36:12.500
go, what? So he's been very successful without

00:36:12.500 --> 00:36:15.800
Led Zeppelin, but I still, I would have to go

00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:20.460
with an Iommi, a May, a Blackmore. People were

00:36:20.460 --> 00:36:23.139
not even thinking about him. Possibly Mark Knopfler

00:36:23.139 --> 00:36:25.219
from Dire Straits. Oh, Mark Knopfler would have

00:36:25.219 --> 00:36:28.219
to be way up there. He's not a hard rocker by

00:36:28.219 --> 00:36:32.900
any means, but just his fluidity and his skill,

00:36:33.139 --> 00:36:36.980
he's just amazing. His insight on writing a song

00:36:36.980 --> 00:36:39.840
is insane. I mean, he doesn't come from left,

00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:43.579
right, middle. I don't know where he comes from,

00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.059
but it's out of this world the way he writes.

00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:49.380
The drummer equivalent. of Mark Knopfler would

00:36:49.380 --> 00:36:51.980
be Stuart Copeland from The Police. Oh, that's

00:36:51.980 --> 00:36:56.159
a good analogy. I mean, Neil Peart would listen

00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:58.360
to Stuart Copeland and say, this guy's my hero.

00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:00.380
I can't figure out how the hell he does all this.

00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:03.019
I would agree. It's just all feel and style and

00:37:03.019 --> 00:37:06.380
not so much technique. But Neil Peart thought

00:37:06.380 --> 00:37:09.159
Stuart Copeland was the bomb, and so do I. I

00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:11.659
would agree, too. Yeah. I would agree, too. Even

00:37:11.659 --> 00:37:15.699
if you don't like police songs in general. Listen

00:37:15.699 --> 00:37:17.880
to the drummer. He's incredible. And he does

00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:21.000
so much with just a few. I like a few of their

00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:24.280
songs, but I'm not a fanatic. Yeah. But I can

00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:26.760
listen to Copeland anytime and go, yeah, that

00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:29.460
guy. That guy has it. He has that hit. Yeah.

00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:32.639
I'm not a real fan of their guitar player, Andy

00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:35.119
Summers. I thought he was pretty replaceable

00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:36.739
in the band. He was very replaceable, although

00:37:36.739 --> 00:37:39.159
he gets all the love. He does for some reason.

00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:41.179
I don't know why. Yeah. I don't know. It's like

00:37:41.179 --> 00:37:44.760
other guitar players really like him. I remember

00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:47.619
when The Doors had their resurgence in the 70s,

00:37:47.619 --> 00:37:51.619
and every guitar player I knew thought The Doors'

00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:54.239
drummer was awesome and thought that The Doors'

00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:56.860
guitar player was crap. And I thought the opposite.

00:37:56.940 --> 00:37:58.599
I thought the guitar player was pretty cool,

00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:02.820
and the drummer was not playing anything like

00:38:02.820 --> 00:38:05.400
what the song needed. I've always thought that,

00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.679
too. Yeah. I've always found that confusing.

00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.079
But, I mean, if you really want to get down to

00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:12.940
it, Ray Manzarek. Yeah, he was it. Yeah, he was

00:38:12.940 --> 00:38:14.960
it. Without him, there would have been no doors.

00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:22.260
No, that, what would you call it? Carnival type

00:38:22.260 --> 00:38:25.619
of a... Yeah, it was a farfisa organ was what

00:38:25.619 --> 00:38:27.659
he used for his right hand. And then his left

00:38:27.659 --> 00:38:29.980
hand was a little bass keyboard sitting on top.

00:38:30.139 --> 00:38:32.420
And then he was playing with his feet, too. Yeah.

00:38:32.460 --> 00:38:35.679
And singing back up. Yeah. And when Jim Morrison

00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.980
would pass out drunk, he'd sing lead. Yeah, he

00:38:37.980 --> 00:38:41.139
got everything. He did. But he was the sound.

00:38:41.320 --> 00:38:43.840
He made those songs what they were, honestly.

00:38:44.099 --> 00:38:46.539
Yeah. I mean, you could have Ian Asbury do the

00:38:46.539 --> 00:38:50.199
same thing, and he did. Yeah. Oh, anyhow. All

00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:53.820
right. Will Jakey Lee ever get his songwriting

00:38:53.820 --> 00:38:59.400
credits for Bark at the Moon? I'm going to say

00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:02.639
at this point, no. Even though they get along.

00:39:02.940 --> 00:39:06.920
Hello, this is Phineas J. Altaris III. I'm here

00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:16.659
to deliver your music news this evening. Hold

00:39:16.659 --> 00:39:20.679
the line. Toto's U .S. tour is coming together

00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:24.860
just fine. I didn't write that. Legendary rock

00:39:24.860 --> 00:39:26.940
band Toto will be touring as an evening with

00:39:26.940 --> 00:39:29.250
Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams. They have

00:39:29.250 --> 00:39:32.289
curated a set list for this entire excursion.

00:39:32.409 --> 00:39:35.030
February 18th, the tour kicks off in Milwaukee

00:39:35.030 --> 00:39:37.789
and will wrap up in Buffalo, Michigan. Our home

00:39:37.789 --> 00:39:40.090
base of Kansas City is getting snubbed, unless

00:39:40.090 --> 00:39:42.690
you feel like traveling to Tulsa, Omaha, or Des

00:39:42.690 --> 00:39:45.750
Moines. That's not very far to travel, so if

00:39:45.750 --> 00:39:49.369
you love Toto, there you go. This is Phineas

00:39:49.369 --> 00:39:54.210
J. Baltaris III. That has been your music news

00:39:54.210 --> 00:39:57.030
for this evening. I have one burning question

00:39:57.030 --> 00:40:00.360
for you all. do people really skip around the

00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:04.699
maypole i'm thinking the only thing that would

00:40:04.699 --> 00:40:07.719
get him his credits is he's about ready to die

00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:12.500
from some bad chronic disease and he begged sharon

00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:15.059
kind of like lee kerslake did he said hey could

00:40:15.059 --> 00:40:17.559
i please get that platinum record for my wall

00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:20.059
before i die and they sent it to him but not

00:40:20.059 --> 00:40:23.860
a minute until then yeah i i think if jakey lee

00:40:23.860 --> 00:40:28.139
signed away any financial gain i think he did

00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:31.300
To say, just give me the credit and don't give

00:40:31.300 --> 00:40:34.940
me any money. But I think he will get it after

00:40:34.940 --> 00:40:38.159
he dies. I think Sharon will wait until after

00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:40.400
he dies before doing anything. Yeah, if she's

00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:45.719
still around. Yeah. Okay, I think that to be

00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:48.019
in that band, he was a hired hand to begin with.

00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:51.900
Even Randy Rose was a hired hand. It was Ozzy's

00:40:51.900 --> 00:40:55.059
band. Him and Sharon came up with all of everything

00:40:55.059 --> 00:40:59.079
that it was. And that's the way it is. And they

00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:01.300
went searching for the musicians that they wanted

00:41:01.300 --> 00:41:06.320
to represent them. So when Randy Rhodes tragically

00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:10.940
died, then J .K. Lee came in, and at the time,

00:41:10.940 --> 00:41:13.000
they could get away with whatever. It's like,

00:41:13.139 --> 00:41:15.360
oh, you want to be in Ozzy's band? Look, right

00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:18.199
now, what are you in? What's the name of that

00:41:18.199 --> 00:41:21.440
band? Rough Cut? Do you want to stay with Rough

00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:24.010
Cut, or do you want to play with Ozzy? I think

00:41:24.010 --> 00:41:26.010
it was Rough Cut, wasn't it? It sounds right.

00:41:26.110 --> 00:41:28.909
I remember watching a documentary about Randy

00:41:28.909 --> 00:41:32.030
Rhoades and how we went from this small band

00:41:32.030 --> 00:41:34.809
to... Yeah, I mean, Quiet Riot wasn't the whole

00:41:34.809 --> 00:41:37.630
lot. And it was like, I got a chance to go play

00:41:37.630 --> 00:41:39.570
with Ozzy. And they're like, do it, man. Yeah,

00:41:39.570 --> 00:41:42.789
they're like, you're going to be much better.

00:41:42.969 --> 00:41:45.989
But the thing is, they needed Carlos Cavazos.

00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:49.139
to come into that band and simplify the music

00:41:49.139 --> 00:41:52.019
for what they were doing. Randy Rhodes was too

00:41:52.019 --> 00:41:54.920
good for that band. He was almost too good for

00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:57.519
Ozzy. He demanded too much of the listener in

00:41:57.519 --> 00:41:59.719
a lot of ways. He really did. I mean, save that

00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:01.960
for one or two tracks on the album, but for every

00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:04.559
song to require the listener to be fully involved

00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:08.880
in paying attention? No. Yeah, I agree. Especially

00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:11.559
that genre of music, it's meant to be blasted

00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:13.380
loud, but you're doing something else while it's

00:42:13.380 --> 00:42:17.710
playing. Drinking, you're playing a game, you're

00:42:17.710 --> 00:42:21.010
whatever. No, no, no, I agree. Driving, having

00:42:21.010 --> 00:42:24.469
sex. Driving, yeah. Driving in, having sex. Playing

00:42:24.469 --> 00:42:30.969
badminton. Yeah. So, yeah, back at that time,

00:42:30.989 --> 00:42:32.670
they'd get away with murder. Yeah. And I'm pretty

00:42:32.670 --> 00:42:35.690
sure they did. Yeah. They were like, Jakey Lee,

00:42:35.849 --> 00:42:38.789
rough cut or Aussie? Aussie. Okay, well, here's

00:42:38.789 --> 00:42:44.480
the contract. Where's the pen? Yeah. So. And

00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:46.980
also after that, then that affords him to go

00:42:46.980 --> 00:42:50.719
into a band like Badlands and be reasonably successful.

00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:54.159
Yeah. Because of the name. I went out and bought

00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:56.920
the album thinking, Jakey Lee, guitar virtuoso,

00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:59.599
and left going, I didn't want to hear the blues.

00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:05.340
So, anyhow, but God bless him. That's what he

00:43:05.340 --> 00:43:06.980
wanted to do, and he stuck to it. He didn't change

00:43:06.980 --> 00:43:11.710
it, so. All right. Do you believe? And I know

00:43:11.710 --> 00:43:13.230
your answer on this because you and me have talked

00:43:13.230 --> 00:43:15.670
about it a few times. Do you believe that the

00:43:15.670 --> 00:43:18.269
80s flashy guitar style was heavily influenced

00:43:18.269 --> 00:43:21.809
by Ace Frehley? Yes. Without a doubt. Yeah, yeah.

00:43:21.909 --> 00:43:25.510
Almost copied it. You could say, oh, well, they

00:43:25.510 --> 00:43:28.269
were copying Eddie Van Halen, but no, not really.

00:43:28.389 --> 00:43:30.550
No, no, no, not Ace. Because they weren't listening

00:43:30.550 --> 00:43:32.889
to Eddie Van Halen when those good hard players

00:43:32.889 --> 00:43:34.530
were growing up. They were listening to Ace.

00:43:34.710 --> 00:43:41.230
Yeah, Eddie Van Halen listened to Ace. Randy

00:43:41.230 --> 00:43:45.070
Rose listened to Ace. Every guitarist, Warren

00:43:45.070 --> 00:43:48.010
Demartini listened to Ace. All of those guys

00:43:48.010 --> 00:43:51.170
in that age range of you and I right now, we

00:43:51.170 --> 00:43:55.050
all grew up listening to Ace. Yeah. Ace had such

00:43:55.050 --> 00:43:58.900
a unique sound and songwriting abilities. That

00:43:58.900 --> 00:44:02.579
always put him. I know he is sloppy. Yeah. So

00:44:02.579 --> 00:44:04.880
is Jimmy Page. Yeah. Jimmy Hendrix. So is Steve

00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:08.360
Clark for Steve Leppard. But, man, that sloppiness

00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:11.079
sounded so good. Now, my sloppiness is not so

00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:12.639
good. No, me neither. It sounds quite so good.

00:44:12.659 --> 00:44:16.000
My sloppiness reeks of no talent. Their sloppiness

00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:18.360
reeks of talent. Yes. They're a difference. A

00:44:18.360 --> 00:44:24.519
big difference. So, yeah, Ace Frehley did so

00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:28.130
much. And he got a lot of credit, but this was

00:44:28.130 --> 00:44:31.130
musician's credit. Yeah. Not guy standing on

00:44:31.130 --> 00:44:34.429
the side of the road credit. Right, right. But

00:44:34.429 --> 00:44:37.230
now... Go ahead. No, I'm good. I was going to

00:44:37.230 --> 00:44:41.730
say, I like the hidden influence or hidden idol.

00:44:42.909 --> 00:44:46.829
I think about bands like Nine Inch Nails and

00:44:46.829 --> 00:44:51.730
Rob Zombie and before that, White Zombie. And

00:44:51.730 --> 00:44:56.280
Chabelle. And his sister... Rose Zombie? Rose

00:44:56.280 --> 00:45:03.380
Zombie, yeah. And his mom, Opal Zombie. No, I'm

00:45:03.380 --> 00:45:08.159
sorry, go ahead. A lot of those bands listened

00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:13.159
to Gary Newman. And you think, wait, Gary Newman?

00:45:13.380 --> 00:45:17.679
But listen to Gary Newman. Really heavily overdriven

00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:21.920
synthesizers. He would play a lot of synths,

00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:24.570
but he'd run them through guitar pedals. And

00:45:24.570 --> 00:45:27.090
he'd overdrive and distort them and just fire

00:45:27.090 --> 00:45:29.429
those bad boys up. And the guitars were always

00:45:29.429 --> 00:45:33.489
super high gain. And the lyrics were a lot of

00:45:33.489 --> 00:45:37.329
times very personal and self -reflective and

00:45:37.329 --> 00:45:41.570
delivered with a soft voice. Sounds like Nine

00:45:41.570 --> 00:45:45.630
Inch Nails to me. Those guys were listening to

00:45:45.630 --> 00:45:47.670
Gary. And listen to Gary Newman now. He's still

00:45:47.670 --> 00:45:50.230
putting out music. He's still touring. He's awesome.

00:45:51.929 --> 00:45:54.409
Maybe Trent Reznor did a salute to him or something?

00:45:55.010 --> 00:45:58.710
I would hope. I can't remember. I've got to look

00:45:58.710 --> 00:46:01.889
at it. When you did that, that rung a bell of

00:46:01.889 --> 00:46:05.510
some sort. I think you're right. People think

00:46:05.510 --> 00:46:08.849
of cars and our friend's electric. He came a

00:46:08.849 --> 00:46:10.849
long way in the meantime. The cars got a lot

00:46:10.849 --> 00:46:15.469
from him. Including the way that... Oh, he's

00:46:15.469 --> 00:46:18.349
dead now. I can't think of his fucking name.

00:46:18.590 --> 00:46:22.159
Bass player? Rick O 'Cason. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

00:46:22.820 --> 00:46:25.719
The way he sang and the way he played. Yeah.

00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:29.760
Yeah, exactly. And Gary Newman, he kind of has

00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:33.079
what he calls android persona when he's a lead

00:46:33.079 --> 00:46:35.599
singer. So it's not... Rico Kasich, same thing.

00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:37.800
Yeah, yeah. He really kind of cribbed on that.

00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:39.460
Max Headroom type of thing. Yeah. Where you're

00:46:39.460 --> 00:46:41.300
just kind of standing and your head moves a little

00:46:41.300 --> 00:46:44.199
here and there. Yeah. But... You know, if you

00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:47.360
listen to the songs on Savage, there's an album

00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:50.420
called Savage, Songs from a Broken Mind. That

00:46:50.420 --> 00:46:54.099
was a good album. Incredible songs. I mean, really

00:46:54.099 --> 00:46:56.820
heart -wrenching, you know, a lot of depth to

00:46:56.820 --> 00:46:59.760
the music, the lyrics, and man, do they sound

00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:03.000
good loud. The thing I loved is he always had

00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:05.639
something to say. Yes. Always had something to

00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:09.260
say, which is everything in music. Yeah. I mean,

00:47:09.260 --> 00:47:12.599
some of the song titles, like Ghost Nation. Bed

00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:15.300
of Thorns. Bed of Thorns, yeah. My Name is Ruined.

00:47:15.500 --> 00:47:17.619
Oh, I love that one. That might be my favorite.

00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:20.340
My Name is Ruined. Save Me From What God Intended.

00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:28.159
From the song title, you'd think this would be

00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:30.579
a nice song. It's called Mercy. That's not a

00:47:30.579 --> 00:47:32.199
happy, fun, pleasant song. No, it is not. No,

00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:35.840
that's a miserable song. That is, yeah. There

00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:38.360
was times when my mental health was low, and

00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:39.980
I just couldn't listen to that album because

00:47:39.980 --> 00:47:42.500
it just affected me too much. Oh, yeah. because

00:47:42.500 --> 00:47:44.940
he's gone through depression, he's autistic,

00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:47.480
which has made his life a lot more complicated.

00:47:47.500 --> 00:47:49.059
You know, that's not very well known either.

00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:52.099
No, it isn't. No, it's never really focused on

00:47:52.099 --> 00:47:54.519
him because he's such a strong musician and writer.

00:47:54.739 --> 00:47:58.239
Yeah. All right, and I think it helped his writing,

00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:00.219
actually, because it allowed him to focus on

00:48:00.219 --> 00:48:03.179
things that he needed to to write music, and

00:48:03.179 --> 00:48:06.519
especially a lot of bad things. Yeah. So, all

00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:09.090
right. Do you believe that Eddie Van Halen might

00:48:09.090 --> 00:48:11.469
have stolen Ace's work from Kiss Alive 2, or

00:48:11.469 --> 00:48:14.429
was it just circumstantial? Oh, I went and listened

00:48:14.429 --> 00:48:19.329
to that. I read in the article it said, shock

00:48:19.329 --> 00:48:22.190
me from Kiss Alive 2 and forward up to about

00:48:22.190 --> 00:48:25.349
4 minutes and 8 seconds for the solo that ends

00:48:25.349 --> 00:48:26.949
the song. That's when he starts doing the really

00:48:26.949 --> 00:48:32.849
fast rhythm, and then with the break. That is

00:48:32.849 --> 00:48:35.789
the start of it. That is the start of a lot of

00:48:35.789 --> 00:48:40.230
different solos, not just aces, but that tempo

00:48:40.230 --> 00:48:43.050
that he presents there is like a template for

00:48:43.050 --> 00:48:45.590
solos in the 80s. Yeah, it really was. It was

00:48:45.590 --> 00:48:47.730
like, here's the lead in that really gets them

00:48:47.730 --> 00:48:51.750
going. And structurally, yeah, it was so similar

00:48:51.750 --> 00:48:54.309
to Eruption. It was crazy. I mean, it didn't

00:48:54.309 --> 00:48:57.489
sound, you know, note -wise or the key was in

00:48:57.489 --> 00:49:00.789
or the little minor melodies playing, but structure

00:49:00.789 --> 00:49:03.829
-wise. Only people that know music and understand

00:49:03.829 --> 00:49:09.269
it somewhat can catch what we're saying. Yeah,

00:49:09.269 --> 00:49:11.489
yeah. If you go into it thinking you're going

00:49:11.489 --> 00:49:13.610
to hear a carbon copy, you're not. No, you're

00:49:13.610 --> 00:49:16.170
going to hear similarities, but that's it. And

00:49:16.170 --> 00:49:24.190
then also, the guitar picking, the guitar tapping,

00:49:24.349 --> 00:49:27.349
the pick tapping that they used, that Ace used.

00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:29.639
really set the template for what they did in

00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:32.199
the 80s. And it's not the fact that he was pick

00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:34.039
-tapping instead of his fingers, it's the way

00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:36.500
it was done. He was doing the da -da -da -da

00:49:36.500 --> 00:49:38.280
-da -da -da -da -da -da, you know, doing the

00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:43.059
scale, if you will, somewhat, on the neck, and

00:49:43.059 --> 00:49:46.539
only the neck. So it's about the same thing,

00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:49.280
a little bit different, than someone didn't have

00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:51.039
a pick one time and did it with their fingers

00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:53.780
and said, hey, look at this. Probably Eddie.

00:49:54.449 --> 00:49:56.449
Instead of one pick, I can use eight figures.

00:49:56.570 --> 00:49:58.409
Yeah, they're like, hey, look at that. Or they

00:49:58.409 --> 00:50:01.449
watch Bluegrass. Yeah, yeah. Bluegrass is nothing

00:50:01.449 --> 00:50:04.269
but a series of that. You want to talk about

00:50:04.269 --> 00:50:07.489
any Bluegrass musician that's good could outdo

00:50:07.489 --> 00:50:11.570
anybody in the rock realm. Well, hell, go look

00:50:11.570 --> 00:50:15.210
at videos from the late 60s and 70s of Roy Clark.

00:50:15.530 --> 00:50:19.039
Oh, gosh. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That banjo.

00:50:19.739 --> 00:50:22.440
Banjo, guitar, 12 -string guitar. Everything.

00:50:22.739 --> 00:50:25.519
Oh, that guy. If it had strings on it, that guy

00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:27.420
could play it and play the heck out of it. He

00:50:27.420 --> 00:50:29.760
was amazing. He might have been the best ever.

00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:32.190
I mean, Jesus. Stuff that he did. Yeah, with

00:50:32.190 --> 00:50:33.869
a big old grin on his face, too. Oh, yeah, he

00:50:33.869 --> 00:50:36.250
always had the big grin on his face. I mean,

00:50:36.269 --> 00:50:38.909
he was just kind of a portly -looking guy, just

00:50:38.909 --> 00:50:41.130
really nothing that special until you see him

00:50:41.130 --> 00:50:43.210
playing. Oh, yeah. Then you're like, how in the

00:50:43.210 --> 00:50:45.670
hell? How can someone have that many rhythms

00:50:45.670 --> 00:50:48.250
in his head and express them at one time? You

00:50:48.250 --> 00:50:50.989
know who else is a really underrated guitar player?

00:50:51.349 --> 00:50:55.630
Glen Campbell. Dude could play. Yeah, he just,

00:50:55.710 --> 00:50:59.190
like, wrote hits, but he could play, yeah. Yeah,

00:50:59.210 --> 00:51:02.179
the radio hits didn't really... need or want

00:51:02.179 --> 00:51:04.619
a lot of intricate guitar work, but when he played

00:51:04.619 --> 00:51:07.440
live, wow. Yeah, he would show you that. He was

00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:10.159
amazing. Yeah, and a lot of people went to go

00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:12.000
see him because of that. They didn't want to

00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:14.599
really, per se, hear Rhinestone Cowboy or something.

00:51:14.820 --> 00:51:16.059
Yeah, which is a good song. It's a good song.

00:51:16.059 --> 00:51:18.880
Or Wichita Lyman's a little better. Yeah, I agree.

00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:20.980
Wichita Lyman's unfinished, but that was intentional.

00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:24.820
It's still good. I agree. Very good. Alright,

00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:28.039
if the band had opened up their tour bus toilet

00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:31.369
over the Chicago River... was a metal band and

00:51:31.369 --> 00:51:33.530
not dave matthews band would have been a much

00:51:33.530 --> 00:51:36.610
bigger deal yeah oh hell yeah oh yeah oh they

00:51:36.610 --> 00:51:38.510
would they would have been claiming it was satanic

00:51:38.510 --> 00:51:45.409
poop yeah yeah yes yes yep yeah they did it for

00:51:45.409 --> 00:51:48.150
the dark lord yeah shit on their neighbor something

00:51:48.150 --> 00:51:50.329
like that i don't know you know if dave matthews

00:51:50.329 --> 00:51:52.309
had been a little more likable as a person they

00:51:52.309 --> 00:51:53.849
probably could have skated a little better on

00:51:53.849 --> 00:51:57.309
that but he was he's a pompous Nobody really

00:51:57.309 --> 00:51:59.750
liked him. I mean, he's not a total jerk, but

00:51:59.750 --> 00:52:02.489
he's arrogant, and he's full of himself, which

00:52:02.489 --> 00:52:04.650
works for... He's man -bun guy, and nobody likes

00:52:04.650 --> 00:52:06.510
man -bun guy. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah.

00:52:06.570 --> 00:52:08.989
Man -bun guy needs to be smacked in the face

00:52:08.989 --> 00:52:11.829
every time he wears that thing. Yeah. What'd

00:52:11.829 --> 00:52:15.309
you call it? A blotch of spaghetti on his head

00:52:15.309 --> 00:52:17.469
or something? Yeah, a hair hamburger. Hair hamburger,

00:52:17.610 --> 00:52:21.010
that was it. I like the term douche -not. Douche

00:52:21.010 --> 00:52:26.380
-not. That's the best right there. Yeah, so,

00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:30.079
yeah, he wasn't a very likable guy, but if that

00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:31.599
would have been a metal band, that would have

00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:33.420
been so much. They would still be talking about

00:52:33.420 --> 00:52:36.119
it. Oh, yeah. Metal band shit all over everybody

00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:38.940
under the Chicago River. Yeah. Architectural

00:52:38.940 --> 00:52:44.199
tour. They're all looking up. Oh, my God. And

00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:48.500
here you see the Sears... Imagine the PTSD from

00:52:48.500 --> 00:52:50.800
something like that. Oh, I would still be vomiting

00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:53.360
to this day if I was one of those ones. They're

00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:56.719
oohing and aahing over some structure. And then

00:52:56.719 --> 00:52:59.420
liquid shit hitting me all over my orifices.

00:52:59.420 --> 00:53:01.860
I don't think there's... You couldn't shower

00:53:01.860 --> 00:53:04.360
often enough to get rid of that feeling. And

00:53:04.360 --> 00:53:06.980
they didn't have a shower on that fucking boat.

00:53:07.300 --> 00:53:08.980
So what are they going to do? They've got to

00:53:08.980 --> 00:53:12.300
wear that shit home. I remember the first excuse

00:53:12.300 --> 00:53:15.340
that Dave Matthews' band came up with after they

00:53:15.340 --> 00:53:17.039
said, oh, it wasn't us. It was like, well, yeah,

00:53:17.059 --> 00:53:20.599
it was. Their second excuse was, oh, well, we

00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:22.300
never pooped in the toilet on the bus because

00:53:22.300 --> 00:53:24.400
they said we couldn't. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:53:24.579 --> 00:53:27.480
Well, somebody was. Yeah, somebody launched some

00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:31.659
turds on top of some people. Oh, my gosh. Hopefully

00:53:31.659 --> 00:53:34.800
the grids, like, kind of filtered out the big

00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:39.989
turds. Let's hope. I mean, think of all the things

00:53:39.989 --> 00:53:42.010
that rock bands have done to get famous, like

00:53:42.010 --> 00:53:45.329
trash hotel rooms and throw TV into the swimming

00:53:45.329 --> 00:53:48.650
pool. And you got famous for dumping your waste

00:53:48.650 --> 00:53:53.429
water on a tour group. And then lying about it

00:53:53.429 --> 00:53:55.829
completely. Yes, then lying about it like Jamar

00:53:55.829 --> 00:54:00.449
Chase. Yes. I didn't do that. Well, the video

00:54:00.449 --> 00:54:04.630
says that you, oh, video's a liar. Let me rephrase

00:54:04.630 --> 00:54:07.429
that. The reason I did that. Yeah. They pivot

00:54:07.429 --> 00:54:09.409
from, no, I didn't, to, well, let me tell you

00:54:09.409 --> 00:54:11.570
why I did. Yeah, yeah. It's like, well, that's

00:54:11.570 --> 00:54:13.349
quite a bit different than no, you didn't, isn't

00:54:13.349 --> 00:54:15.409
it? Can we go back and address the part where

00:54:15.409 --> 00:54:17.829
you lied? Yeah, yeah. Let's go ahead and go with

00:54:17.829 --> 00:54:19.289
that. Let's go from there forward. I don't want

00:54:19.289 --> 00:54:21.050
to skip over the part where you lied right to

00:54:21.050 --> 00:54:22.710
my face. Yeah, yeah. Let's go back and talk about

00:54:22.710 --> 00:54:23.949
that. Three or four or five times. And you got

00:54:23.949 --> 00:54:25.849
insulted that I would suggest that. Remember

00:54:25.849 --> 00:54:28.710
that, too? Yeah, yeah. Or at least, you know,

00:54:28.730 --> 00:54:31.130
let people like Jamar Chase know. It's like,

00:54:31.230 --> 00:54:33.920
all right, now we know you're a liar. And things

00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:36.159
that come out of your mouth are lies. So now

00:54:36.159 --> 00:54:38.960
we know Jamar Chase is a liar. And he can never

00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:42.360
bring any kind of legal action against anyone

00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:44.760
who calls him a liar because he's on record as

00:54:44.760 --> 00:54:47.460
being a liar. That's true. So that would be awesome

00:54:47.460 --> 00:54:49.019
if everyone just calls him a liar to his face.

00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:54.000
The liar just gained four yards. Oh, the liar

00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:57.739
lost some yardage at the line of scrimmage. But

00:54:57.739 --> 00:55:00.389
considering the NFL is all about. fun, happy,

00:55:00.590 --> 00:55:02.769
and polishing our own image, they're not going

00:55:02.769 --> 00:55:05.750
to let anybody talk shit about them. Nope, that

00:55:05.750 --> 00:55:08.809
will not be brought up again this year. Just

00:55:08.809 --> 00:55:11.329
like the pink cocaine that Stefan Diggs had.

00:55:11.829 --> 00:55:13.789
Oh, let's not talk about that. There's too much

00:55:13.789 --> 00:55:16.409
money to be made. Oh, yeah, no, I know. They're

00:55:16.409 --> 00:55:18.530
too busy patting him on the back now. Oh, great

00:55:18.530 --> 00:55:21.070
guy, great guy. If that's your daughter, would

00:55:21.070 --> 00:55:24.730
that be a great guy? Probably not. Well, it's

00:55:24.730 --> 00:55:26.809
the way things work. If you can make money for

00:55:26.809 --> 00:55:29.900
somebody... They'll put up with any of your crap.

00:55:30.219 --> 00:55:32.460
Whatever your crap is, they'll put up with it

00:55:32.460 --> 00:55:34.139
as long as you're making them enough money. But

00:55:34.139 --> 00:55:36.159
when the income dips, they'll cut your ass loose.

00:55:36.199 --> 00:55:38.340
If anyone wants to argue that, look up Epstein

00:55:38.340 --> 00:55:43.139
-Arden. Yeah. Erwin knew what he was doing, but

00:55:43.139 --> 00:55:47.920
he was benefiting them. 1934 in Nazi Germany,

00:55:48.059 --> 00:55:50.380
the Night of the Long Knives, when Hitler got

00:55:50.380 --> 00:55:52.800
into power, solidified his power, and then...

00:55:53.179 --> 00:55:55.300
murdered everybody who helped put him there.

00:55:55.380 --> 00:55:57.260
Yes. Because they were rivals now. Because they

00:55:57.260 --> 00:55:59.780
were rivals now. So there were a lot of people

00:55:59.780 --> 00:56:03.820
died that night. Oh, yeah. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. And,

00:56:03.920 --> 00:56:07.559
like, would he do that? He just did. Yep. Yeah.

00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:11.340
So, all right. Why does David Lee Roth continue

00:56:11.340 --> 00:56:13.679
to embarrass himself? I've got a theory, but

00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:17.320
I want to hear yours first. The only thing I

00:56:17.320 --> 00:56:21.139
really think of is he just doesn't care. and

00:56:21.139 --> 00:56:25.260
he wants to make some more money and maybe he's

00:56:25.260 --> 00:56:28.239
still delusional about how hot he is. That's

00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:29.599
what I think. That's the only thing I can think

00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:32.159
of is just he doesn't realize or just doesn't

00:56:32.159 --> 00:56:34.099
care. It's like, hey, I'm getting paid. I'm going

00:56:34.099 --> 00:56:36.179
to keep doing it. I'd say he's delusional. Yeah.

00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:39.639
Because he seems awfully confident up there in

00:56:39.639 --> 00:56:43.460
the very tight clothing that he wears. Yeah,

00:56:43.500 --> 00:56:46.719
he's acting like he's still a 25 -year -old man.

00:56:46.920 --> 00:56:50.199
Yeah, he's acting like he did in 1979, 1980.

00:56:51.739 --> 00:56:55.579
Either it's a really good actor or he really

00:56:55.579 --> 00:56:57.559
still thinks he's that. I think he really still

00:56:57.559 --> 00:56:59.579
thinks he's that. I think he's delusional. I

00:56:59.579 --> 00:57:02.260
think he can't accept the fact that he's 70 and

00:57:02.260 --> 00:57:06.320
doesn't look so good anymore. There are 70 -year

00:57:06.320 --> 00:57:09.000
-olds that carry it very well. He's not one of

00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:12.039
them. No. He did not age well. He got really

00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:14.880
haggard really quick and never recovered. He's

00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:18.440
got that freaky kind of death grin thing going

00:57:18.440 --> 00:57:21.500
when he smiles. Yeah, that's it. He just looks

00:57:21.500 --> 00:57:24.159
so unhealthy. It's like, ooh, you look like you

00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:26.019
died a couple weeks ago and you just haven't

00:57:26.019 --> 00:57:29.599
stopped moving yet. Yeah. I think he has. We're

00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:31.300
going to find out that this last tour he was

00:57:31.300 --> 00:57:33.440
actually dead. It was like a weekend at Bernie's

00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:37.900
kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yes. All right, and

00:57:37.900 --> 00:57:41.440
finally... A weekend at Joe Biden's. Oh, no,

00:57:41.500 --> 00:57:44.260
no, that'd be a jewel cup. Allegedly. Allegedly,

00:57:44.300 --> 00:57:45.619
yeah. Yeah, we've got to throw that allegedly

00:57:45.619 --> 00:57:49.280
in there. Like, Joe... Democratic secret police

00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:52.320
might be after us. Yeah, yes, yep. And then they'll

00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:57.260
find some way to cancel us. Yeah. Or it'll turn

00:57:57.260 --> 00:58:00.050
up that we both... decided to commit suicide

00:58:00.050 --> 00:58:02.510
by shooting ourselves eight times. In the back

00:58:02.510 --> 00:58:05.750
of the head and wrap ourselves in carpet. Yes.

00:58:05.949 --> 00:58:08.230
And throw ourselves in Central Park. Clearly

00:58:08.230 --> 00:58:13.010
a suicide. Clearly. Google it. All right. And

00:58:13.010 --> 00:58:17.309
then finally, David Lee Roth. The reason I think

00:58:17.309 --> 00:58:19.869
he's delusional is he does not use backtracking.

00:58:20.130 --> 00:58:25.210
He needs to. Yeah. Bad. He has his backing band

00:58:25.210 --> 00:58:28.030
sing a lot of stuff he should, but it's not the

00:58:28.030 --> 00:58:30.869
same. You need to hear his voice when it was,

00:58:30.869 --> 00:58:34.630
well, as good as it was. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

00:58:35.789 --> 00:58:39.210
Yeah, why doesn't he use backtracking? He could

00:58:39.210 --> 00:58:41.730
just go up there and be a fool if he sounded

00:58:41.730 --> 00:58:44.590
much better instead of being a fool and sounding

00:58:44.590 --> 00:58:46.769
horrible. And, you know, I don't think anyone

00:58:46.769 --> 00:58:49.150
would care if he went up there and lip synced

00:58:49.150 --> 00:58:51.469
to recordings. I'd be like, you know what, that's

00:58:51.469 --> 00:58:53.849
fine. I wanted to see him. The reason I didn't

00:58:53.849 --> 00:58:55.650
see him is because of how horrible he sounded.

00:58:55.789 --> 00:58:58.090
I would like to have seen him one last time.

00:58:58.210 --> 00:59:00.190
Yeah. If he would have backtracked, I would have

00:59:00.190 --> 00:59:02.070
seen him. And I know that goes against everything

00:59:02.070 --> 00:59:05.110
I've ever said, but here's why. I wanted to see

00:59:05.110 --> 00:59:07.369
him one more time, but I did not want to hear

00:59:07.369 --> 00:59:10.570
what I heard on video. Oh, God, that was awful.

00:59:10.750 --> 00:59:13.409
Yeah. I'd rather see him up there doing his stuff,

00:59:13.550 --> 00:59:15.530
as bad as it was, and just go, yeah, I got to

00:59:15.530 --> 00:59:17.969
see him one last time. Wasn't very good, but

00:59:17.969 --> 00:59:19.949
I don't care. Got to see him. You know, there

00:59:19.949 --> 00:59:21.929
have been a lot of bands I saw one last time

00:59:21.929 --> 00:59:23.829
I probably shouldn't have, but I'm glad I did.

00:59:24.090 --> 00:59:26.309
I mean, to be fair, the last couple of WOS shows.

00:59:27.070 --> 00:59:29.510
that I watched weren't that amazing. Yeah. Actually

00:59:29.510 --> 00:59:31.489
weren't that good at all. I mean, they were okay.

00:59:31.730 --> 00:59:34.969
Yeah. But I saw it because this was part of my

00:59:34.969 --> 00:59:37.989
growing up and I'm relatively sure this is the

00:59:37.989 --> 00:59:40.150
last time you're going to see them anywhere around

00:59:40.150 --> 00:59:42.769
here. So I decided to go and it's just one guy

00:59:42.769 --> 00:59:44.989
and that's Blackie Lawless. You know, Dave Lee

00:59:44.989 --> 00:59:47.769
Ross the same way. No Steve Vai. No Billy Sheehan.

00:59:47.909 --> 00:59:50.690
None of those guys. Yeah. Right? No, definitely

00:59:50.690 --> 00:59:54.510
no Eddie. None of that. But there's something

00:59:54.510 --> 00:59:58.190
to be said for just the one last time. And Walsh

00:59:58.190 --> 01:00:02.630
sounded good. He did not. So the Walsh shows

01:00:02.630 --> 01:00:05.030
I considered a success. If I would have saw him,

01:00:05.190 --> 01:00:07.110
I would have had a horrible taste in my mouth

01:00:07.110 --> 01:00:09.349
forever and I would have done it. That's kind

01:00:09.349 --> 01:00:11.590
of how I feel about Alice Cooper anymore. The

01:00:11.590 --> 01:00:14.110
last show I saw Alice do where Ace freely opened,

01:00:14.250 --> 01:00:17.630
Ace was cool because I'd never seen him before.

01:00:17.730 --> 01:00:20.250
But then Alice, I kept thinking, this is the

01:00:20.250 --> 01:00:23.059
exact same show I've seen a bunch of times. It's

01:00:23.059 --> 01:00:26.440
the same musicians. Everything's the same. There's

01:00:26.440 --> 01:00:28.860
nothing really new or fun here. It was okay,

01:00:29.059 --> 01:00:32.679
but it was like, eh. I would go see Alice again

01:00:32.679 --> 01:00:35.219
if he toured with the three surviving members

01:00:35.219 --> 01:00:39.460
of his old band. Neil Smith, Dennis Dunaway,

01:00:39.619 --> 01:00:42.179
and Michael Prince. Who later went on to be a

01:00:42.179 --> 01:00:46.239
football player. Yes. Yes, Neil Smith. Changed

01:00:46.239 --> 01:00:47.519
the spelling of his first name a little bit.

01:00:47.659 --> 01:00:50.199
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also the color of his skin

01:00:50.199 --> 01:00:52.400
a little bit. Yes. Well, I guess he was about

01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:54.639
the same height. Yeah, probably pretty close.

01:00:54.699 --> 01:00:57.679
He's a tall guy. Very tall guy. But I would go

01:00:57.679 --> 01:01:00.579
see Alice again if he toured with his old band,

01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:03.980
even if they only played half the show. I would

01:01:03.980 --> 01:01:06.699
too. But anymore, I really don't know that I'm

01:01:06.699 --> 01:01:09.599
going to go see Alice again. I will if he's opening

01:01:09.599 --> 01:01:12.340
for a band that I really like. And he's only

01:01:12.340 --> 01:01:15.260
doing like five or six songs. That's fine. But

01:01:15.260 --> 01:01:18.719
to see the same show, the guillotine, I Love

01:01:18.719 --> 01:01:20.400
the Dead, the Killing the Hooker and all that,

01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:23.679
it's great. But I've seen it too many times.

01:01:23.900 --> 01:01:25.960
And there's a number of his songs that I want

01:01:25.960 --> 01:01:27.719
to hear the whole song that he just puts in the

01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:31.800
middle. He plays like 30 seconds of it, or the

01:01:31.800 --> 01:01:33.980
band plays 30 seconds of it while he's offstage

01:01:33.980 --> 01:01:36.219
changing. It's like, no, I want to hear that

01:01:36.219 --> 01:01:39.480
whole song. Yes, I agree. And that's another

01:01:39.480 --> 01:01:43.099
thing about it too. You know, he's 76 or 77.

01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:47.400
77, right? Seven, yeah. Okay. He has to temper

01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:49.940
a lot of what he does because he just can't do

01:01:49.940 --> 01:01:52.539
it like he used to. Yeah. Now, his voice isn't

01:01:52.539 --> 01:01:54.280
a problem because he's never had the singing

01:01:54.280 --> 01:01:57.840
voice. He's had the talking voice. Which is great.

01:01:57.920 --> 01:02:00.079
Kind of like Ozzy never really had vocal problems

01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:03.420
per se because he didn't have to put on some

01:02:03.420 --> 01:02:05.619
type of a sound. That's what he was. That was

01:02:05.619 --> 01:02:07.179
just like really just waiting. The singers who

01:02:07.179 --> 01:02:08.980
push themselves that wind up having problems.

01:02:09.239 --> 01:02:11.940
Yeah. Unless you're a pure singer like Glenn

01:02:11.940 --> 01:02:13.960
Hughes where you can put a candle up to him.

01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:16.559
He sings from his diaphragm like you should.

01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:20.059
He doesn't have vocal problems because he does

01:02:20.059 --> 01:02:24.880
it the right way. But everyone else, the nasal

01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:27.760
stuff and all that, they tend to lose their voice.

01:02:28.300 --> 01:02:31.639
So David Lee Roth had to stretch to even sing.

01:02:32.139 --> 01:02:35.519
And then the high notes and screams really did

01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:43.119
his voice in. Destroyed it. So, yeah, that's

01:02:43.119 --> 01:02:45.760
all of the bullet points. Good bullet points.

01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:49.079
All right. Thank you. I have some odd facts.

01:02:49.300 --> 01:02:51.880
Love it. Unless you got something. I'm kind of

01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:55.280
tapped. Okay. How long have we got going on this?

01:02:55.840 --> 01:02:59.039
We've just come up on an hour. Okay. Peter Gabriel

01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:03.980
and Genesis. Sledgehammer was Peter Gabriel's

01:03:03.980 --> 01:03:06.760
only number one on the U .S. chart. Yeah. Which

01:03:06.760 --> 01:03:09.519
surprised me because I thought War Without Frontiers

01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:12.369
might have. Yeah, that was a big hit. Yeah, it

01:03:12.369 --> 01:03:14.409
was, but I guess it wasn't as big as Sledgehammer.

01:03:14.550 --> 01:03:16.769
But the video on Sledgehammer is what got everybody.

01:03:16.929 --> 01:03:18.929
That's true. That's true. Put it in the rotation.

01:03:19.170 --> 01:03:22.230
Yeah, the song was good, but I thought that Gabe's

01:03:22.230 --> 01:03:25.750
More About Frontiers was better. Yeah. I mean,

01:03:25.769 --> 01:03:28.949
musically, and to me, more catchy. Yeah. But

01:03:28.949 --> 01:03:33.469
Sledgehammer was number one. Peter Gabriel's

01:03:33.469 --> 01:03:35.590
only number one in the U .S. charts in 1986.

01:03:36.110 --> 01:03:38.829
The song at this place at number one was Invisible

01:03:38.829 --> 01:03:44.030
Touch. by Genesis. Wow. His former band, which

01:03:44.030 --> 01:03:47.969
happened to be their only number one hit. That

01:03:47.969 --> 01:03:50.929
was such a pop hit, too. Yeah, it was. It was

01:03:50.929 --> 01:03:54.730
one of my least favorite by them. Yeah. And then

01:03:54.730 --> 01:03:56.530
a lot of the stuff that people think is Genesis

01:03:56.530 --> 01:03:59.230
was his solo stuff. Yeah, it really was. Yeah,

01:03:59.250 --> 01:04:00.570
a lot of people were going, I like that Mama

01:04:00.570 --> 01:04:05.860
song. That wasn't Genesis. No. That was not Genesis.

01:04:06.119 --> 01:04:11.820
That was Phil Collins solo. Shock the Monkey.

01:04:12.260 --> 01:04:15.519
That was Peter Gabriel solo. People think that

01:04:15.519 --> 01:04:18.440
was Genesis. That's another great example, but

01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:23.880
only with Peter Gabriel. Prince, he wrote both

01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:27.280
Kiss and Manic Monday, which were number one

01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:30.119
and number two on the Billboard charts, respectively.

01:04:30.980 --> 01:04:32.940
Preventing the Bengals from having a number one

01:04:32.940 --> 01:04:36.789
hit. He wrote both songs, Bannock Monday. Yeah.

01:04:37.349 --> 01:04:40.469
Yeah. So he took a song that he wrote and displaced

01:04:40.469 --> 01:04:45.690
it that the Bengals were going to have a really

01:04:45.690 --> 01:04:48.570
big time with that that he wrote, but he knocked

01:04:48.570 --> 01:04:51.969
it off with his own song. I thought that was

01:04:51.969 --> 01:04:53.510
pretty interesting, and that was Kiss, which

01:04:53.510 --> 01:04:57.389
was a great song, and especially removed from

01:04:57.389 --> 01:05:00.309
Purple Rain and all that, the commercial success

01:05:00.309 --> 01:05:04.400
on that really kind of did him well. Because

01:05:04.400 --> 01:05:06.360
people were starting to view him as very talented

01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:08.820
but a niche. Yeah. And then it kind of brought

01:05:08.820 --> 01:05:10.400
him out because Michael Jackson really kind of

01:05:10.400 --> 01:05:12.599
trumped him at that point. Yeah, that's true.

01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:14.840
Yeah, so that kind of brought him back and said,

01:05:14.900 --> 01:05:17.719
see, this guy is just as good. Yeah. So, anyhow.

01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:21.380
And all that can be, you know, all that can be

01:05:21.380 --> 01:05:24.159
argued. Yeah. I'm not going to argue. They're

01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:27.480
both fantastic. So, all right. Mama Cass and

01:05:27.480 --> 01:05:30.380
Keith Moon both died in the same apartment. Did

01:05:30.380 --> 01:05:33.530
you know that? Oh, wow, I'd forgotten, but that's

01:05:33.530 --> 01:05:35.530
true, that's true. I don't think I ever, if I

01:05:35.530 --> 01:05:40.230
knew that, I forgot it. I know. And Mama Cass

01:05:40.230 --> 01:05:43.050
did not die from a chicken bone or a sandwich

01:05:43.050 --> 01:05:45.670
or whatever. Ham sandwich. Ham sandwich, yeah.

01:05:45.809 --> 01:05:48.269
Yeah. Everyone bet on it. Well, she's kind of

01:05:48.269 --> 01:05:49.789
big, she's kind of portly, I'm going to say she

01:05:49.789 --> 01:05:52.570
did. Yeah, yeah. But what I heard was heart attack,

01:05:52.690 --> 01:05:54.730
and everyone presumed, well, it's because she

01:05:54.730 --> 01:05:56.829
was choking on a chicken bone, but it was more

01:05:56.829 --> 01:06:00.599
likely from drug abuse. Yes. Destroyed her heart

01:06:00.599 --> 01:06:03.880
muscle. It's just like Elvis. When it got out

01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:05.659
that he's on the shitter having a heart attack,

01:06:05.840 --> 01:06:09.280
it was either masturbation or constipation. Yeah.

01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:13.239
It was an of some sort. Pulling too hard or pushing

01:06:13.239 --> 01:06:17.800
too hard? Yes, butter. Take your pick, or maybe

01:06:17.800 --> 01:06:21.019
both. He might have been ambidextrous, if you

01:06:21.019 --> 01:06:23.260
will. Some guys do both at the same time. That's

01:06:23.260 --> 01:06:26.679
right. He was a talented fellow. He was multitasking.

01:06:26.840 --> 01:06:28.940
Yeah, multitasking. He was like, I really need

01:06:28.940 --> 01:06:30.280
to pinch one out, but at the same time, I've

01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:32.219
got to relieve myself. Now you can triple task

01:06:32.219 --> 01:06:34.239
by smoking a cigarette at the same time with

01:06:34.239 --> 01:06:38.980
your other hand. I'm sure he was. All right,

01:06:39.099 --> 01:06:41.119
and that's my hero there. Anybody that can do

01:06:41.119 --> 01:06:45.510
that? My hero. So, all right. All right. Joe

01:06:45.510 --> 01:06:48.369
Walsh and Ringo Starr, they are brother -in -laws.

01:06:49.389 --> 01:06:52.150
Oh, wow. I did not know that. Ringo's married

01:06:52.150 --> 01:06:55.789
to Barbara Bach. Yeah. Not the one everybody...

01:06:55.789 --> 01:07:00.510
Yeah. The actress? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And

01:07:00.510 --> 01:07:03.170
Joe is married to Barbara's sister, May Jury.

01:07:03.530 --> 01:07:07.570
Oh. The Beatles' Paul McCartney claims he chose

01:07:07.570 --> 01:07:10.280
the name Eleanor Rigby. This is a different one.

01:07:10.440 --> 01:07:12.320
Yeah. But it was stuck together, so I'm going

01:07:12.320 --> 01:07:14.699
into it. Okay. So, like a dumbass that I am.

01:07:15.179 --> 01:07:17.719
Paul McCartney claims he chose the name Eleanor

01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:21.340
Rigby from a shop sign, but it was later discovered

01:07:21.340 --> 01:07:24.079
that Eleanor Rigby was a real person buried in

01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:28.300
Wilton near where John and Paul first met. Oh.

01:07:28.340 --> 01:07:30.260
And the reason he would have done that is because

01:07:30.260 --> 01:07:34.280
he hated John, so he was trying to eliminate

01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:36.300
all the memories of him. Disassociated with him.

01:07:36.519 --> 01:07:39.239
Yeah, including pretending he was dead. Kind

01:07:39.239 --> 01:07:41.599
of seems like it. Yeah. I don't know that for

01:07:41.599 --> 01:07:43.219
sure, but it kind of seems like he might have

01:07:43.219 --> 01:07:45.119
done that. Yeah, they kind of seem to play their

01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:48.460
feud out on the album tracks. Yes. And this is

01:07:48.460 --> 01:07:50.860
no different. They're like, I didn't meet Eleanor

01:07:50.860 --> 01:07:53.820
Rigby with that asshole. Yeah. I made her up.

01:07:53.940 --> 01:07:56.840
Yeah. So, just like I made John Lennon up. Never

01:07:56.840 --> 01:07:59.340
existed. I had heard that the Marshall Tucker

01:07:59.340 --> 01:08:03.119
Band got their name from a shoe company. They

01:08:03.119 --> 01:08:05.179
saw the sign out the window and said, oh, look,

01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:07.800
Marshall Tucker, that's a good name. Damn it,

01:08:07.820 --> 01:08:09.639
I don't have that one on here, but I don't know

01:08:09.639 --> 01:08:11.980
how. I might have it down here in here somewhere.

01:08:12.199 --> 01:08:14.300
But, yeah, that's actually on there. Oh, okay.

01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:16.659
But I think it was something else besides a shoe

01:08:16.659 --> 01:08:18.939
company. Yeah. I'll look for it here in a little

01:08:18.939 --> 01:08:22.039
bit. Okay. All right. Limp Bizkit. Yeah. The

01:08:22.039 --> 01:08:25.199
band filmed a music video for Roland Airway Vehicle,

01:08:25.220 --> 01:08:28.380
parentheses. That's titled both, actually. One

01:08:28.380 --> 01:08:31.520
of the World Trade Center South Towers. They

01:08:31.520 --> 01:08:33.920
did that on top of the South Tower of the World

01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:36.449
Trade Center. The old ones. Not the new one,

01:08:36.609 --> 01:08:40.130
the old one. And they received a thank you letter

01:08:40.130 --> 01:08:42.189
from the Port Authority the day before 9 -11.

01:08:43.829 --> 01:08:47.670
Talk about hollow victory. Yeah. What happened?

01:08:49.750 --> 01:08:54.310
Okay. Back around 1970, there was a musical movie

01:08:54.310 --> 01:08:58.329
called Godspell. And it was kind of like a retelling

01:08:58.329 --> 01:09:06.020
of the life of Jesus, but with hippies. And I

01:09:06.020 --> 01:09:09.000
think the end song in the movie is everybody

01:09:09.000 --> 01:09:11.460
standing on top of one of the towers of the World

01:09:11.460 --> 01:09:13.819
Trade Center, which was still under construction

01:09:13.819 --> 01:09:16.960
at the time. Oh, wow. And a helicopter's up there

01:09:16.960 --> 01:09:19.119
flying around, filming and performing the song

01:09:19.119 --> 01:09:20.920
and dance on top of the World Trade Center, one

01:09:20.920 --> 01:09:25.579
of the towers. That was just kind of weird. Okay.

01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:28.479
So the World Trade Center was renting themselves

01:09:28.479 --> 01:09:31.539
out for all sorts of publicity stuff. Oh, yeah.

01:09:31.939 --> 01:09:35.119
Evidently, I have a... dentist appointment at

01:09:35.119 --> 01:09:37.380
3 o 'clock today that I just got the damn thing

01:09:37.380 --> 01:09:41.199
on. Wow. Today's November 25th, right? Uh...

01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:48.300
Yep. Oh, shit. Alright, well, um, okay, uh, how

01:09:48.300 --> 01:09:50.680
long have we got there? Hour and seven. Okay,

01:09:50.779 --> 01:09:53.800
let's see, uh, Phil Spector, his Christmas album,

01:09:53.960 --> 01:09:56.319
A Christmas Gift for You, was released on November

01:09:56.319 --> 01:10:00.199
22nd. 1963, the same day that President John

01:10:00.199 --> 01:10:04.060
F. Kennedy was assassinated. That's right. Damn.

01:10:04.720 --> 01:10:14.260
Yeah. Wow. Let's see. Here's another weird fact.

01:10:14.460 --> 01:10:17.739
On April 20th, everyone celebrates marijuana.

01:10:18.699 --> 01:10:21.760
It's also Adolf Hitler's birthday. Actually,

01:10:21.760 --> 01:10:28.949
I knew that. Isn't that funny? Yeah. What another

01:10:28.949 --> 01:10:33.329
hollow victory. Yes. What day is it? Don't ever

01:10:33.329 --> 01:10:35.329
talk about that again. I used to tease people.

01:10:35.409 --> 01:10:37.210
It's like, why is everyone out here getting high

01:10:37.210 --> 01:10:38.909
in celebration of Hitler's birthday? I don't

01:10:38.909 --> 01:10:44.350
get it. Yeah. Well, I guess being stoned makes

01:10:44.350 --> 01:10:47.890
you happier. I don't know. Hitler was on every

01:10:47.890 --> 01:10:50.149
other drug, so why not me? Why not me, Beth?

01:10:51.970 --> 01:10:56.909
So, all right. Got anything else? I think I'm

01:10:56.909 --> 01:10:59.470
good. All right. I think I'm good, too, due to

01:10:59.470 --> 01:11:02.250
the fact that I evidently had a dentist appointment.

01:11:02.550 --> 01:11:05.029
Yeah. Sometimes you find out last minute. Well,

01:11:05.109 --> 01:11:06.710
I believe it's the teeth cleaning because I have

01:11:06.710 --> 01:11:09.390
nothing else going on, I think. So, yeah. All

01:11:09.390 --> 01:11:12.210
right. I mean, at least I'll feel good afterwards,

01:11:12.369 --> 01:11:16.229
not during. Yeah. So, all right. Hey, everybody,

01:11:16.329 --> 01:11:18.409
thank you for listening. We enjoyed doing this,

01:11:18.470 --> 01:11:20.109
so keep listening and go fuck yourself.
