WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.640
Hey, my fellow heavy breathers, this is Dash

00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:08.839
Riptide with your music news. Glenn Hughes, the

00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:13.439
legendary bassist, lead singer of many, many

00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:17.160
great bands, such as Deep Purple, Black Sabbath,

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.140
Black Country Communion, California Breed, and

00:00:21.140 --> 00:00:24.839
so on and so on. He had a U .S. tour planned

00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:27.780
for this April. Glenn unfortunately had to cancel

00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:30.440
due to what's been described as a minor medical

00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.560
issue. I already had seats for legendary rocker

00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.700
Knuckleheads, but like most times, I try to see

00:00:36.700 --> 00:00:39.820
him, and it gets canceled. Glenn, I love you,

00:00:39.899 --> 00:00:43.140
but no more. Third time getting jerked is enough.

00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.320
We do wish you a full and speedy recovery, and

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.119
hopefully a full and speedy recovery of my fucking

00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:54.380
money. Again, sorry, not sorry. This is Gash

00:00:54.380 --> 00:00:57.890
Riptide. And that was your music news. If it's

00:00:57.890 --> 00:01:00.329
too loud, you probably have ear damage, just

00:01:00.329 --> 00:01:09.510
like me. If they keep trying to pimp it and I

00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:11.569
keep going by it, I need to watch the tutorial.

00:01:11.950 --> 00:01:17.969
Yeah. All right. Well, I guess we can get going

00:01:17.969 --> 00:01:27.780
here. All right. Which means... We are the music.

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:38.829
We are the music. We are. All right, there we

00:01:38.829 --> 00:01:41.750
go. Well, of course we're the music creeps. You've

00:01:41.750 --> 00:01:45.010
heard that ten times by now. I'm Topher. I'm

00:01:45.010 --> 00:01:47.209
Mark. I'm one of the creeps. Are you the other

00:01:47.209 --> 00:01:49.430
creep? I am the other creep. Okay, can Rob be

00:01:49.430 --> 00:01:51.790
a creep too? Absolutely. Okay, Rob, you're a

00:01:51.790 --> 00:01:53.769
creep when you listen to this. Yeah. All right.

00:01:54.390 --> 00:01:58.280
With love, though. With love. Yes. Yeah. All

00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.859
right, we are the Music Creeps, and Topher, you

00:02:00.859 --> 00:02:03.180
said you have a shit ton of stuff. I got some

00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:06.099
good stuff. All right, good. First thing I'd

00:02:06.099 --> 00:02:08.599
like to start with is I have a big list of how

00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.860
certain bands got their names. I like that. Yeah,

00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:15.259
I think some of these are bullshit. I don't care.

00:02:15.259 --> 00:02:19.379
If it sounds good, I'm good. Anyway, so first

00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:22.020
up we have, remember the 80s band Duran Duran?

00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:25.560
Yes. They were named after a character in the

00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:30.460
movie Barbarella. That was a 1968 movie with

00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:31.939
Jane Fonda. I do believe that's true. It was

00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:33.919
a science fiction movie. There was a character

00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:38.020
in there called Dr. Durand Durand. So they named

00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:40.099
their band Durand Durand. I remember reading

00:02:40.099 --> 00:02:43.759
that. I think that's true. Now that movie Barbarella

00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:48.740
was as close as Jane Fonda ever got to doing

00:02:48.740 --> 00:02:52.009
a porn movie. Because her character was basically

00:02:52.009 --> 00:02:56.069
an intergalactic vixen that wanted to hump anything

00:02:56.069 --> 00:03:02.250
that moved. Kind of like Miley Cyrus. Right up

00:03:02.250 --> 00:03:04.909
next, Fine Young Cannibals. Remember them? Yeah,

00:03:04.909 --> 00:03:08.889
yeah. It was FYC, if you want to be clear. They

00:03:08.889 --> 00:03:12.729
were named after a 1965 movie, All the Fine Young

00:03:12.729 --> 00:03:15.610
Cannibals. I think I remember that one, too.

00:03:15.650 --> 00:03:17.949
Okay. A number of these bands are named after

00:03:17.949 --> 00:03:22.550
movies. That's cool. Alphaville, also named after

00:03:22.550 --> 00:03:27.409
a 1965 sci -fi movie. Okay. Remember the Thompson

00:03:27.409 --> 00:03:30.490
twins? Yeah. They were named after... Hold me

00:03:30.490 --> 00:03:33.590
now. Yes. They were named after twin characters

00:03:33.590 --> 00:03:37.310
in The Adventures of Tintin, an animated movie.

00:03:37.569 --> 00:03:40.110
I remember that, yeah. There were twins in there

00:03:40.110 --> 00:03:43.129
named Thompson without the P and Thompson with

00:03:43.129 --> 00:03:46.120
the P. So that's how the band got their name,

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.500
Thompson and Thompson, Thompson Twins. Okay.

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.259
Spandau Ballet. Yeah, I always thought that was

00:03:53.259 --> 00:03:56.580
a peculiar name. Yeah. That's a movie, too? That

00:03:56.580 --> 00:04:03.319
was a prison in the British sector of West Berlin.

00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.520
Oh, wow. And it was a slang term used by World

00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.479
War II prisoners of Spandau Prison, which was

00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.830
described as a bleak fortress. I find that odd

00:04:13.830 --> 00:04:20.009
that a, oh, a soft -hitting, you know, pop band

00:04:20.009 --> 00:04:22.730
like that is named after a prison. Isn't that

00:04:22.730 --> 00:04:25.149
weird? It is. Yeah. You know, like if it was

00:04:25.149 --> 00:04:27.550
Slayer named Spandau Ballet and you knew that

00:04:27.550 --> 00:04:29.050
it was after a prison, you'd be like, okay, yeah.

00:04:29.129 --> 00:04:30.790
Yeah, you kind of get that. Or Lamb of God or

00:04:30.790 --> 00:04:34.430
something, but not Spandau Ballet. So, anyhow.

00:04:35.970 --> 00:04:38.310
Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Yeah, I know this

00:04:38.310 --> 00:04:41.250
one. Relax, don't do it when you want. Anyway.

00:04:41.310 --> 00:04:45.519
Good song. They named themselves after a newspaper

00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.639
headline, which was a story about Frank Sinatra

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.680
making movies. And the headline was, Frankie

00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:56.360
Goes Hollywood. So they changed it to Frankie

00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.980
Goes to Hollywood. And then what happens? I want

00:04:59.980 --> 00:05:02.000
to know what happens. Yeah, well, he made a bunch

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.639
of movies. Okay. And somebody wound up with a

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.439
horse head in their bed. Yeah, I guess that's

00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:07.339
true. Because they wouldn't give them the lead

00:05:07.339 --> 00:05:10.180
role in From Here to Eternity. Yeah, yeah. Although

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:13.560
Sinatra had nothing to do with that. Yes. Nothing.

00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.579
That was friends of his. He told them no. He

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:18.980
said no horse head, but they did anyhow. But

00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:20.939
yeah, that was interesting. When I saw the movie

00:05:20.939 --> 00:05:26.180
The Godfather, where the Frank Sinatra character

00:05:26.180 --> 00:05:31.279
was like Johnny something in the movie. And there

00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.519
was this new big war picture that he'd be perfect

00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.019
for, and he wanted the lead role. Well, in real

00:05:36.019 --> 00:05:38.160
life, that was Frank Sinatra, and he wanted the

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.100
lead in From Here to Eternity, which was a movie

00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:46.920
about the people in Hawaii leading up to the

00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.100
attack on Pearl Harbor. It's actually a really,

00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:53.420
really good movie. But the director slash producer

00:05:53.420 --> 00:05:56.139
was determined not to give it to him because

00:05:56.139 --> 00:06:00.970
Sinatra had humped his girlfriend. Or the protege

00:06:00.970 --> 00:06:04.050
that he was playing to hump himself. Okay. So

00:06:04.050 --> 00:06:07.029
that was where the movie pretty much got it exactly

00:06:07.029 --> 00:06:09.529
right for what happened in Frank Sinatra's life.

00:06:09.649 --> 00:06:12.889
And he eventually did get that role because the

00:06:12.889 --> 00:06:15.449
director was persuaded. Don't know if it was

00:06:15.449 --> 00:06:17.769
a horse head. Don't know. It might have been

00:06:17.769 --> 00:06:20.790
a dog's head. Might have been a person's head.

00:06:20.910 --> 00:06:23.889
You never know. That could have been. Allegedly.

00:06:24.009 --> 00:06:29.189
Allegedly. All right. Flock of seagulls. And

00:06:29.189 --> 00:06:35.430
I ran, I ran so far away. That epic hairstyle.

00:06:36.050 --> 00:06:41.870
Yeah. It was a line in the 1978 song by the Stranglers,

00:06:41.889 --> 00:06:46.790
and the song was Toiler of the Sea. Toiler? I

00:06:46.790 --> 00:06:48.670
like Toilet of the Sea better. Yeah, Toilet of

00:06:48.670 --> 00:06:51.689
the Sea. But the line was something about a flock

00:06:51.689 --> 00:06:53.810
of seagulls, so they're like, ah, there we go,

00:06:53.829 --> 00:06:57.560
there's our name. Yeah, that'll work. Okay, Thin

00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.139
Lizzy. Oh, I know what that's... Boys are Back

00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:03.480
in Town. Yeah. There was a character in a comic

00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.220
strip. The comic strip is called Dandy, and there's

00:07:06.220 --> 00:07:09.220
a character named Tin Lizzy, which was a robot

00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:12.540
girl made out of tin. I thought, okay, that's

00:07:12.540 --> 00:07:14.420
contradictory to what I always thought. Yeah,

00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:16.279
I was always told it was about the car. The car,

00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.420
yeah. Yeah. Okay. But they showed a picture of

00:07:19.420 --> 00:07:23.699
the comic, and there was Tin Lizzy. Okay. A robot

00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:26.600
girl. I always thought it was the car. Yeah.

00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.439
Like you. You probably know this one, Black Sabbath.

00:07:29.779 --> 00:07:33.300
Yeah, yeah. A 1963 horror film of the same name.

00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:39.079
Boris Karloff movie. Deep Purple. I read this,

00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.980
but I can't remember what it was. Richie Blackmore's

00:07:41.980 --> 00:07:45.300
mother's favorite song was a song called Deep

00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:47.680
Purple. Yes. It looked like it was from the early

00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.480
50s. Uh -huh. Isn't that weird how he lost control

00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.800
of the band, though? Yeah. He obviously started

00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.680
it. Then he left it, came back, left it, came

00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.240
back, and finally he doesn't have any... I wonder

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.079
if they paid him off or something. They probably

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.220
did, because I don't think he has anything at

00:08:05.220 --> 00:08:07.579
all to do with the band anymore. No, he doesn't.

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:14.699
Sticks, the 70s kind of lush orchestral rock

00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:18.360
band. Sticks refers to the river in the underworld

00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.899
that spirits have to pay the ferryman to cross.

00:08:22.220 --> 00:08:25.399
I knew that. Well, people say that it's a river

00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:30.240
in hell. Not really. It's not from the Christian

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.659
mythos at all. No, no, no, but that's what they

00:08:32.659 --> 00:08:35.919
say, but I think it was urban order, and what

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.399
you're saying, the underworld is actually what

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:42.360
it was. Yeah, I mean, the mythos this came from

00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.100
is everybody went to the underworld. Yeah, but

00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:47.840
the temples of Syrinx is what they're thinking

00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.299
about right there. That is about... you know,

00:08:51.299 --> 00:08:54.240
a river in hell. Yeah. Not sticks. No. But everybody

00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.299
thinks that sticks is a river in hell. Yeah.

00:08:56.379 --> 00:08:59.179
Yeah, so anyways. And oddly enough, syrinx is

00:08:59.179 --> 00:09:02.779
what they call the voice box in birds. In humans,

00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:05.120
it's a larynx. Yeah, larynx. In birds, it's a

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.720
syrinx. Yeah. So there's a bird reference there,

00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:09.879
too. And you know what? I better check that because

00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.500
that's another one just like the Din Lizzy. Uh

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:16.750
-huh. Maybe that's not correct about Syrinx.

00:09:16.750 --> 00:09:18.470
Yeah, you never know. But anyhow, that's what

00:09:18.470 --> 00:09:23.269
I was known, anyhow. Uriah Heath. I know. Good

00:09:23.269 --> 00:09:26.090
band. They're really underrated. Very much, yeah.

00:09:26.090 --> 00:09:28.690
Oh, man, they're so good. You know they're still

00:09:28.690 --> 00:09:31.509
together? They are, yeah. I think my favorite

00:09:31.509 --> 00:09:33.570
song from theirs is Stealin' when I should have

00:09:33.570 --> 00:09:35.710
been buyin'. Yeah, they released a new album

00:09:35.710 --> 00:09:38.009
two years ago, and it was really good. Excellent.

00:09:38.049 --> 00:09:41.350
It actually has Bob Daisley on it. Oh, wow. Yeah,

00:09:41.409 --> 00:09:45.179
he came back for a little bit. They got their

00:09:45.179 --> 00:09:49.539
name from a character in a Dickens novel, David

00:09:49.539 --> 00:09:52.299
Copperfield. There was a person in that book

00:09:52.299 --> 00:09:55.419
named Uriah Heep. And if you watch the movie

00:09:55.419 --> 00:09:58.059
David Copperfield, you can actually see people

00:09:58.059 --> 00:10:02.440
talking about him. Wow. Yeah. Uriah Heep was

00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.580
named after that? Just a character in a book.

00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:09.159
Okay. All right. Along the same lines, Jethro

00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:14.080
Tull. That was an 18th century lawyer turned

00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:18.519
agricultural inventor and was labeled as a farming

00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:21.059
rebel because he was trying to revolutionize

00:10:21.059 --> 00:10:26.019
the way farming was done in the 1700s. Now, why

00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:27.759
in the world they picked him, I guess they must

00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:29.159
have just thought his name was kind of cool.

00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:32.419
Jeff Roe Toll. Yeah, and also it's T -U -L -L,

00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:37.259
not T -A -L -L. It's such a unique name. When

00:10:37.259 --> 00:10:41.200
you hear it, you think band. So, I get it. For

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.559
years, everyone thought Ian Anderson was Jethro.

00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:48.039
Yeah, I know. And also, Tony Iommi never did

00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.259
an album with him, like what's going around.

00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.840
Even I felt for him for a little bit. No, he

00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:55.639
never did an album. He did a couple of shows

00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.179
and then went back to Earth at the time, which

00:10:58.179 --> 00:11:02.700
became Black Sabbath. Oh, yeah. Here's one that

00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:05.600
most people know, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Yeah. It was

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.519
their high school football coach whose name was

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.720
Leonard Skinner. Yeah. But they had to change

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.600
it because that was his name. Yeah. And I've

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:17.720
actually seen the video of Coach Leonard Skinner

00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.740
standing next to, I think, one of the guitar

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:23.360
players from Leonard Skinner introducing their

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.340
next song. One of the 30 guitar players from

00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:27.179
Leonard Skinner. Yeah. He's saying, here he is,

00:11:27.220 --> 00:11:29.559
the real Coach Leonard Skinner that we named

00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:33.060
our band after. Here to introduce our song. He

00:11:33.060 --> 00:11:35.200
was notorious for telling them to cut their hair.

00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.240
They're never going to amount to anything. And

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.500
then he became friends with them. And they're

00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:41.679
like, this is Leonard Skinner. And he's like,

00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:44.039
hey, these are my boys. I'm glad they didn't

00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:50.600
cut their hair. Really? Super Tramp. They're

00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.860
a very good band. Breakfast in America. Huge

00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:55.840
in the 70s. What? I mean, Breakfast in America.

00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.179
was not big enough. It was enormous, but it still

00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:00.500
wasn't big enough. It still wasn't big enough.

00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.480
That elk will never get. And their unique sound,

00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.500
too. Yeah. They'll never get the credit they

00:12:05.500 --> 00:12:09.159
deserve. They got their name after the autobiography

00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:14.139
of a man called W .H. Davies. And his book was

00:12:14.139 --> 00:12:16.960
called Autobiography of a Super Tramp. He lived

00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:19.860
as a hobo and wrote a book about it. Oh, wow.

00:12:19.980 --> 00:12:22.460
So they just took the name Super Tramp. And that

00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:28.330
was Ray Davies' cousin. Yes. Yeah. Another one

00:12:28.330 --> 00:12:31.009
that most people know, the Rolling Stones. It

00:12:31.009 --> 00:12:33.230
was a Muddy Waters song. Papa was a Rolling Stone.

00:12:33.230 --> 00:12:37.710
I knew that, yeah. But it was genius to call

00:12:37.710 --> 00:12:40.549
the band that. Yeah, yeah. I was going to guess

00:12:40.549 --> 00:12:43.149
that no moss grew on them, so they called themselves

00:12:43.149 --> 00:12:48.230
Rolling Stones. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they still

00:12:48.230 --> 00:12:51.460
don't have moss on them. Mick Jagger. cannot

00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:55.360
believe he's like 82 or 83 he still runs across

00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:59.019
the stage like he's like i don't know 50 at least

00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:02.500
maybe younger yeah his voice i mean he doesn't

00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:05.980
sing that prolific so it stayed intact but still

00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:09.519
his voice is great yeah all those good stem cells

00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.960
yes and penises in his mouth allegedly allegedly

00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.860
pink floyd yes named after two blues musicians,

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:23.840
Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. Yep. So Elton

00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:26.940
John did the same thing. Yeah. I didn't know

00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:29.460
that until you said that on a Music Creeps, I

00:13:29.460 --> 00:13:32.100
don't know, a couple of months ago. Yeah, yeah.

00:13:32.379 --> 00:13:36.059
There was a musician, Elton James. He's like,

00:13:36.059 --> 00:13:38.039
well, the Elton part's really good, but we can't

00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:41.000
come up with him. James and Elton John. I still

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.639
like the cover band Elton Dan. Yes. Elton Dan.

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:51.519
Elton Dan. Or how about Don Bon Jovi? Yes. And

00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.399
the cover band for Bread calls themselves Toast.

00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:59.200
Toast. That's so good. I mean, yeah, some of

00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:04.840
them are pretty original. Yeah. The Doors. Come

00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:09.000
on, baby, light my fire. Break on through. A

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.259
novelist, Aldous Huxley, wrote a book called

00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:14.879
The Doors of Perception. So that's what they

00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.539
meant themselves to be. He recites some of the

00:14:17.539 --> 00:14:21.539
poetry from them in a couple of songs. And it's

00:14:21.539 --> 00:14:26.100
odd, Jim Morrison joined as a poet. Yes. He got

00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:28.620
together with Ray Manzarek, the keyboard player,

00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:32.799
and listened to some of their songs, and he just

00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.100
started writing down this poetry to fit the song.

00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.899
And Ray Manzarek said, man, you need to join

00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:41.399
this band, and we're going to make a million

00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.389
dollars. And Jim Morrison's like, exactly. Yeah.

00:14:45.529 --> 00:14:47.990
He's just like, exactly what I intended. He was

00:14:47.990 --> 00:14:50.289
not into that, yeah. No, he really wasn't into

00:14:50.289 --> 00:14:54.409
the fame and fortune anyway. Yep. Jefferson Airplane.

00:14:55.269 --> 00:14:57.350
Now this is one I've heard a different version

00:14:57.350 --> 00:15:05.980
of. Okay. Posing for the picture, sorry. You

00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:09.480
got to. Jefferson Airplane. Supposedly from a

00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.200
nickname of a different musician, Blind Thomas

00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:17.639
Jefferson Airplane. Now, what I heard was Jefferson

00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.220
Airplane is a roach clip that you make out of

00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:24.940
a paper match. I think I believe that one. I

00:15:24.940 --> 00:15:29.299
believe that one, yeah. Supposedly, one of the

00:15:29.299 --> 00:15:31.440
forming members, Jorma Kalkkonen, was the one

00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.899
who came up with, hey, let's name ourselves after

00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:37.440
Blind Thomas Jefferson Airplane. But I really

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.059
think it makes more sense that it's the roach

00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:45.980
clip made out of a paper match. Okay. Sorry,

00:15:46.179 --> 00:15:47.919
I'm going to get a selfie so we can promote it

00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:51.259
a little bit. Yeah. All right. Here we go again.

00:15:51.980 --> 00:15:54.480
I don't know why it comes out so cloudy in here,

00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:57.279
the pictures, but anyhow, go ahead. The loving

00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:02.039
spoonful. Oh, yeah. I've heard a different version,

00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:04.480
but what this says is it was a line in a song

00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.899
by Mississippi John Hurt called Coffee Blues.

00:16:09.340 --> 00:16:12.840
He's like a loving spoonful in his coffee. Oh,

00:16:12.899 --> 00:16:15.419
okay. That makes sense. Yeah. But what I've heard

00:16:15.419 --> 00:16:21.320
was a spoonful is approximately how much is the

00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:26.399
typical amount that a man ejaculates. That's

00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:27.200
what I heard, too. And that's why it's called

00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:33.480
a lovin' spoonful. Anyway, we'll give them a

00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.600
pass on that one. Yep. Buffalo Springfield. Remember

00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.259
them? Uh -huh, I sure do. They got their name

00:16:40.259 --> 00:16:43.360
from a steamroller company, the Buffalo Springfield

00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:47.179
Roller Company, that made steamrollers. And they

00:16:47.179 --> 00:16:48.740
just thought the name was cool. That's funny.

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:57.110
Uh... Credence Clearwater Revival. They had a

00:16:57.110 --> 00:17:00.450
friend named Credence Newball. So they took Credence

00:17:00.450 --> 00:17:04.089
from him. They were seeing ads for Clearwater

00:17:04.089 --> 00:17:07.190
beer. So they took Clearwater from that. And

00:17:07.190 --> 00:17:10.589
then since they're from the south, then revival

00:17:10.589 --> 00:17:13.190
meetings were coming. And they thought revival

00:17:13.190 --> 00:17:15.650
is a really positive word. So it became Credence

00:17:15.650 --> 00:17:19.029
Clearwater Revival. Named after a person, a beer,

00:17:19.170 --> 00:17:21.750
and an event. That's cool. Isn't that interesting?

00:17:21.809 --> 00:17:23.549
That is very interesting. I would have never

00:17:23.549 --> 00:17:27.049
guessed that either. Now here's another one that

00:17:27.049 --> 00:17:31.910
I think is wrong. ZZ Top. Billy Gibbons said,

00:17:32.029 --> 00:17:34.730
we named the band after two people, B .B. King

00:17:34.730 --> 00:17:39.410
and ZZ Hill. B .B. King is considered the top

00:17:39.410 --> 00:17:41.650
of the blues musicians, so he's the top, and

00:17:41.650 --> 00:17:45.890
then ZZ Hill for the ZZ. That's cool. But what

00:17:45.890 --> 00:17:48.849
I heard was it's two brands of rolling papers.

00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:53.599
Top and Zigzag. Oh, okay. That makes sense. And

00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:55.359
that makes a hell of a lot more sense because

00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:58.059
at least one of their album covers features giant

00:17:58.059 --> 00:18:02.180
bales of marijuana on the cover. And the members

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:04.440
of ZZ Top getting busted bringing them across

00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:08.700
the Rio Grande into Texas. So I'm pretty sure

00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:10.500
it's the Rolling Papers version that's true.

00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:13.660
I think you're right. Yeah. Zigzag for ZZ and

00:18:13.660 --> 00:18:19.119
then Top for Top. The Ramones. Okay. I want to

00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:21.900
be sedated. Yeah, they're all brothers, too.

00:18:22.019 --> 00:18:24.259
That is so weird. I mean, every time they lose

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:26.640
one, they gain another brother. How many brothers

00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:28.599
do they have? And they all look alike, too. All

00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:30.119
that long black hair. All that black hair, yeah.

00:18:30.740 --> 00:18:32.539
It's almost as if they're wigs or something.

00:18:32.579 --> 00:18:36.579
Yeah, or dyed. Wow, that's crazy. Well, Paul

00:18:36.579 --> 00:18:40.089
Ramon. was the fake name that Paul McCartney

00:18:40.089 --> 00:18:42.630
used to check into hotels so nobody would know

00:18:42.630 --> 00:18:45.549
who he was and who was there by looking at the

00:18:45.549 --> 00:18:49.569
registry. So he called himself Paul Ramone. And

00:18:49.569 --> 00:18:52.089
the guy who started the Ramones said, yeah, that's

00:18:52.089 --> 00:18:53.730
who I want to be. We're going to be the Ramones,

00:18:53.750 --> 00:18:55.269
and we're all going to be Ramones. We're all

00:18:55.269 --> 00:18:57.089
going to pretend we're in the same family. We're

00:18:57.089 --> 00:18:59.930
all brothers and cousins and whatever. I can't

00:18:59.930 --> 00:19:02.970
remember which band it was, but... Some band

00:19:02.970 --> 00:19:05.410
used to throw a swerve on all the groupies and

00:19:05.410 --> 00:19:08.150
the guys that wanted to meet them and all that.

00:19:08.369 --> 00:19:10.650
And what they would do was they would come up

00:19:10.650 --> 00:19:13.789
with an outrageous couple of fake names and put

00:19:13.789 --> 00:19:15.730
them way away from where they stayed. And they

00:19:15.730 --> 00:19:18.289
were like Ben Smith or something like that. And

00:19:18.289 --> 00:19:21.210
then those guys were like Phil Uranus and stuff

00:19:21.210 --> 00:19:23.410
like that. So everyone would find the registry

00:19:23.410 --> 00:19:26.039
and go, oh. That's them right there, Phil Uranus.

00:19:26.140 --> 00:19:27.660
And they go all the way to the other side of

00:19:27.660 --> 00:19:29.680
the hotel, and they were Ben Smith over on the

00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:35.660
right side of the hotel. So anyhow. I remember

00:19:35.660 --> 00:19:42.039
reading in a book written by a guy who wrote

00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.940
books about rock bands. And he wanted to write

00:19:45.940 --> 00:19:48.259
a song about a rock band, but he wanted to participate

00:19:48.259 --> 00:19:53.039
as a member. So he was friends with Bob Ezrin

00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.369
and said, you know, Do you know any band that

00:19:55.369 --> 00:19:57.950
would be willing to have me hang out and work

00:19:57.950 --> 00:20:00.109
on the album and go with them on tour so I can

00:20:00.109 --> 00:20:01.910
write a book? And he said, hey, do it with Alice

00:20:01.910 --> 00:20:05.430
Cooper. So he was like, all right. So the last

00:20:05.430 --> 00:20:08.789
album with the original Alice Cooper group, 1974's

00:20:08.789 --> 00:20:11.470
Muscle of Love, he sang backup vocals on that.

00:20:11.529 --> 00:20:13.390
You can see him in the credits, Bob Green or

00:20:13.390 --> 00:20:16.549
Bob Drew and stuff like that. And then he went

00:20:16.549 --> 00:20:20.140
on tour with them on a holiday tour. And on a

00:20:20.140 --> 00:20:22.220
previous tour, they had a guy who impersonated

00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:24.259
Nixon who would come out and flash the peace

00:20:24.259 --> 00:20:25.900
sign and the members of the band would beat him

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:27.839
up and haul him off the stage because Nixon was

00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.500
very unpopular at the time. So this time they

00:20:30.500 --> 00:20:32.160
thought, Bob, you come with us on the tour and

00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:34.759
you're Santa Claus. And you come out at the end

00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.259
of the show and you throw posters and gifts out

00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:38.859
to the audience and then we'll come up and just

00:20:38.859 --> 00:20:40.539
beat the snot out of you and drag you off the

00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:44.859
stage. Love that. So he played Santa Claus. Cool.

00:20:46.490 --> 00:20:49.250
I think that was the last American tour they

00:20:49.250 --> 00:20:52.349
did with the original lineup. And at one point

00:20:52.349 --> 00:20:56.309
on the tour, ZZ Top was their opening act. And

00:20:56.309 --> 00:20:59.630
they were at the, the ZZ Top stayed at a different

00:20:59.630 --> 00:21:05.109
hotel. Okay. So Bob and a couple other guys on

00:21:05.109 --> 00:21:08.109
the crew were riding up in the hotel elevator,

00:21:08.390 --> 00:21:10.789
and a groupie came up and said, you know, are

00:21:10.789 --> 00:21:12.789
you guys with the Alice Cooper group? Because

00:21:12.789 --> 00:21:15.589
I heard Alice was staying at this hotel. And

00:21:15.589 --> 00:21:17.809
they're like, oh, really? Well, why do you want

00:21:17.809 --> 00:21:20.210
to know? And she said, well, what she wanted

00:21:20.210 --> 00:21:23.990
was a pearl necklace. And that's where you press

00:21:23.990 --> 00:21:26.289
her boobs together and the guy pumps her boobs.

00:21:27.430 --> 00:21:30.710
And jizz is on her. Yeah. And the little drops

00:21:30.710 --> 00:21:32.529
look like a pearl necklace. If you know what

00:21:32.529 --> 00:21:35.670
jizz is, Google it. Yeah. J -I -Z -Z. What they

00:21:35.670 --> 00:21:39.480
did was they... They told her that Alice was

00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:42.099
staying at the other hotel where ZZ Top was and

00:21:42.099 --> 00:21:45.859
sent her over there. And then amazingly enough,

00:21:45.900 --> 00:21:48.640
a few years later, ZZ Top comes out with a song

00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:53.099
called Pearl Necklace. I wonder if it was that

00:21:53.099 --> 00:21:55.319
groupie that made them think of writing that

00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:59.160
song. Well, I mean, Plaster Caster was about

00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:04.190
a groupie. Layla was about a groupie. Actually,

00:22:04.210 --> 00:22:06.130
there's plenty more songs than that, so I could

00:22:06.130 --> 00:22:08.509
find it very easily being about a groupie. There

00:22:08.509 --> 00:22:11.069
are many songs written about him. Yeah. I just

00:22:11.069 --> 00:22:12.230
found that very coincidental. Sweet Connie and

00:22:12.230 --> 00:22:14.690
Hamlet to Barn. Yeah. That was just too much

00:22:14.690 --> 00:22:17.250
of a coincidence for that to be not. I would

00:22:17.250 --> 00:22:19.549
agree. I think the writing there is probably

00:22:19.549 --> 00:22:23.990
pretty much true. Yeah. All right. Let's see.

00:22:24.390 --> 00:22:27.710
Iron Maiden is from the Medieval Torture Device.

00:22:28.609 --> 00:22:30.650
Which I love that name. That is one of the best

00:22:30.650 --> 00:22:33.920
names ever. And someone has researched that and

00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:36.559
discovered that no one actually ever used the

00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:39.539
Iron Maiden as it was intended. It was just there

00:22:39.539 --> 00:22:42.579
to scare people. It was never actually used.

00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.779
Okay, Iron Maiden does not want you to know that.

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:49.880
Yes. Now here's another one that I think is wrong.

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:52.420
Because I've heard something vastly different.

00:22:52.799 --> 00:23:00.019
ACDC. Angus Young said... The label on the back

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:03.619
of his sister's sewing machine could run on AC

00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:08.279
or DC voltage, and it said AC slash DC. And his

00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.180
sister was making their stage costumes, so he

00:23:11.180 --> 00:23:13.039
was very familiar with her and her sewing machine.

00:23:14.380 --> 00:23:16.859
Now, what I heard was their original lead singer

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:21.240
before they had Bon Scott was very sexually ambiguous.

00:23:22.409 --> 00:23:26.930
And ACDC has for a long time been a slang term

00:23:26.930 --> 00:23:32.650
for bisexual. Yep. And that was what I was told

00:23:32.650 --> 00:23:35.670
was the original name their band meant. That

00:23:35.670 --> 00:23:37.849
is their lead singer was bisexual. See, I didn't

00:23:37.849 --> 00:23:40.609
know that until you discussed that on this show.

00:23:40.809 --> 00:23:43.089
And then I looked it up, and that appears to

00:23:43.089 --> 00:23:45.849
me that looks like where it came from. But, I

00:23:45.849 --> 00:23:47.849
mean, now I guess it's in question because they're

00:23:47.849 --> 00:23:51.599
saying, no, okay. It may be that they're trying

00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:54.380
to spin this because it would look disrespectful

00:23:54.380 --> 00:23:58.740
to use that slang term. I think so. Because before,

00:23:58.859 --> 00:24:00.440
they didn't argue. Now, all of a sudden, it's

00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.579
like, eh, yeah. I've seen some video of their

00:24:03.579 --> 00:24:06.380
original lead singer, and in today's world, he

00:24:06.380 --> 00:24:09.259
would look pretty ordinary. But for back then,

00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:12.809
he looked... Pretty oddball. Well, Bon Scott

00:24:12.809 --> 00:24:17.710
was pretty big himself. I mean, just his demeanor

00:24:17.710 --> 00:24:19.990
on stage. He'd come out there and just kind of,

00:24:20.009 --> 00:24:23.329
I don't know, be real fluid and fluffy. Yeah.

00:24:23.329 --> 00:24:26.309
Yeah. And the snotty vocals didn't help either.

00:24:26.390 --> 00:24:29.309
Yeah, that's true. Yeah, listen to Dirty Deeds

00:24:29.309 --> 00:24:32.769
Done Dirt Cheap. Oh! Oh! Yeah, that's snotty

00:24:32.769 --> 00:24:35.990
as it gets. But I am firmly a Bob Scott fan.

00:24:36.170 --> 00:24:38.690
Yeah, definitely. Bob Scott, to me, was the best

00:24:38.690 --> 00:24:41.529
lead singer in ACDC. And I could definitely see

00:24:41.529 --> 00:24:44.390
how he had about triple the sex appeals of Brian

00:24:44.390 --> 00:24:47.829
Johnson. Yes. Although I do know two girls that

00:24:47.829 --> 00:24:51.009
had sex with Brian Johnson, allegedly. I imagine

00:24:51.009 --> 00:24:54.670
some have, yeah. Oh, they said that... He was

00:24:54.670 --> 00:24:58.029
quite the interesting guy with the whiskey and

00:24:58.029 --> 00:25:02.089
everything. So that guy, according to them, if

00:25:02.089 --> 00:25:03.789
they didn't lie, and I don't think they lied

00:25:03.789 --> 00:25:05.930
because it didn't look very complimentary to

00:25:05.930 --> 00:25:09.390
them. Yeah. They said that he was 100 % rock

00:25:09.390 --> 00:25:11.750
star because he would get fucking smashed and

00:25:11.750 --> 00:25:15.630
wake up, you know, fucking vomiting, you know.

00:25:15.690 --> 00:25:18.450
So he's quite the rock star. He's like a lemmy.

00:25:18.549 --> 00:25:23.250
He did what he preached. There you go. Bad company.

00:25:24.650 --> 00:25:28.970
Until the day they die. Yes. Ask Mick Rouse.

00:25:29.069 --> 00:25:33.410
Mick Rouse, yes. That was from the 1972 movie

00:25:33.410 --> 00:25:37.890
Bad Company about Civil War draft dodgers. Jeff

00:25:37.890 --> 00:25:42.230
Bridges was in it. A guy named Tim Brown, I think.

00:25:42.329 --> 00:25:43.829
Tom Brown, something like that. I think I remember

00:25:43.829 --> 00:25:45.910
that a little bit now. Okay, it was about that.

00:25:46.049 --> 00:25:48.490
And if you listen to the song Bad Company and

00:25:48.490 --> 00:25:51.369
the lyrics, it's very close to the plot of the

00:25:51.369 --> 00:25:54.740
movie. And it's actually a really good movie.

00:25:54.819 --> 00:25:56.720
It's pretty grim, but it's a very good movie.

00:25:56.819 --> 00:26:00.000
Also a very good song. Yes, yes. So if you haven't

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.380
seen, I mean, there's Bad Company that was like

00:26:02.380 --> 00:26:05.579
a buddy cop movie from the 90s. This isn't it.

00:26:05.660 --> 00:26:10.900
This is 1972, and it's a western. And they don't

00:26:10.900 --> 00:26:13.440
pull any punches. I mean, it really kind of looks

00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:15.880
like how life would have been back then. Dirty,

00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:20.779
kind of ugly. Life was short. Oh, I hear music.

00:26:21.059 --> 00:26:26.420
I do. I do, too. ABBA. They got their name from

00:26:26.420 --> 00:26:29.099
the initials of the band members. Agnetha, Bjorn,

00:26:29.220 --> 00:26:33.980
Benny, and Annefrid. ABBA. I believe that. That's

00:26:33.980 --> 00:26:36.279
too... Now, what a lot of people thought was

00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:39.079
a rhyming scheme. Yeah, it goes back. ABBA. It's

00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:42.380
a power drum, too, also, yeah. Yeah. That is

00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:47.039
their initials. The Hollies. Long, cool woman

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.960
in a black dress. Yeah. They got their name from

00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:53.309
Buddy Holly. Oh, they're a big fan. Now here's

00:26:53.309 --> 00:26:57.250
one I'm not so sure about. The Bee Gees. They

00:26:57.250 --> 00:26:59.789
say they named themselves after two early fans.

00:26:59.950 --> 00:27:02.490
A guy named Bill Good and a guy named, get this,

00:27:02.730 --> 00:27:07.990
Bill Gates. Both of them had the initials Bee

00:27:07.990 --> 00:27:10.789
Gee, so that's how they named their band. I call

00:27:10.789 --> 00:27:13.490
BS on that because the Brothers Gibb makes a

00:27:13.490 --> 00:27:17.730
lot more sense. Bee Gees. Okay, that does. Yeah.

00:27:19.980 --> 00:27:22.900
Judas Priest. You know how they got their name?

00:27:24.180 --> 00:27:27.380
Uh -uh. It's a Bob Dylan song called The Ballad

00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:31.559
of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest. Okay. And they

00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:33.319
played a clip of it, and you could hear Bob Dylan.

00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:39.140
It's like so weird to hear Bob Dylan saying the

00:27:39.140 --> 00:27:42.039
term Judas Priest. That is weird. It's like,

00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:45.200
no, don't say the word again. Don't. It just

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:51.359
sounds wrong. Led Zeppelin. It's after a Keith

00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.700
Moon joke that Jimmy Page's new band was going

00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:56.740
to go over the world's largest lead balloon.

00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.579
Oh, yeah. What's larger than a Zeppelin? Yep.

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:07.170
Toto. Rosanna, Hold the Line, Africa. Yep. They

00:28:07.170 --> 00:28:09.269
actually did name their band after the Little

00:28:09.269 --> 00:28:11.509
Dog and the Wizard of Oz. Oh, that is true. That

00:28:11.509 --> 00:28:14.109
is absolutely true. Steve Lukather himself said,

00:28:14.190 --> 00:28:16.250
yep, that's where we got the name. It's a cool

00:28:16.250 --> 00:28:19.029
name. Nobody was even from Kansas, but it was

00:28:19.029 --> 00:28:21.750
a good name. That is funny. And Lukather is such

00:28:21.750 --> 00:28:24.210
a good guitarist. He's one of the most underrated

00:28:24.210 --> 00:28:27.109
musicians. Oh, yeah. You never hear his name.

00:28:27.529 --> 00:28:30.109
Other musicians know. Yes, that's something I

00:28:30.109 --> 00:28:31.329
say. But the general public doesn't quite know

00:28:31.329 --> 00:28:33.210
how good he is. He's one of the musician's musicians.

00:28:33.589 --> 00:28:38.619
Yes. Depeche Mode. Yeah. That was a French fashion

00:28:38.619 --> 00:28:41.579
magazine. It was the exact name of a French fashion

00:28:41.579 --> 00:28:44.339
magazine. Wow. That's weird. Yeah, that's interesting.

00:28:45.339 --> 00:28:48.380
This is another one I call BS on. Joy Division.

00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:52.839
Okay. They were like post -punk. Yeah, I remember

00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.660
that. Supposedly from a 1959 novel, The House

00:28:56.660 --> 00:28:59.619
of Dolls. Yeah. There's a reference to Joy Division.

00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:06.539
Now, the term I heard was that... During World

00:29:06.539 --> 00:29:11.640
War II, the Nazis set up a traveling whorehouse

00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.180
for German soldiers. And it was nicknamed the

00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:19.680
Joy Division. Because there was a Nazi propaganda

00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:24.660
song about strength through joy. Love your homeland,

00:29:24.940 --> 00:29:26.920
love what you're doing, love your fellow German,

00:29:27.059 --> 00:29:31.470
and we'll have strength through joy. So the German

00:29:31.470 --> 00:29:34.690
soldiers changed that to, I lost strength through

00:29:34.690 --> 00:29:37.230
joy, meaning I'm so tired from talking, I can't

00:29:37.230 --> 00:29:40.950
fight. So they nicknamed that traveling brothel

00:29:40.950 --> 00:29:43.970
the Joy Division. I like that. Division for a

00:29:43.970 --> 00:29:47.009
military group, because they followed the army

00:29:47.009 --> 00:29:49.089
around everywhere, so they'd have somebody to

00:29:49.089 --> 00:29:50.910
hump when the hard day of fighting was over.

00:29:50.910 --> 00:29:52.950
I wonder if they had the boll weevil clap. Probably

00:29:52.950 --> 00:29:55.730
so. Yeah, probably. Of course, back then it was

00:29:55.730 --> 00:29:58.849
probably like the thistle clap. Maybe the Barley

00:29:58.849 --> 00:30:03.289
Hop Club. Anyway, so I think Joy Division actually

00:30:03.289 --> 00:30:07.730
was named after the slang term for the traveling...

00:30:09.149 --> 00:30:10.329
brothel that the Germans... Probably, and they

00:30:10.329 --> 00:30:12.349
probably just don't want that known now. At the

00:30:12.349 --> 00:30:14.170
time, it was cool. Now it's like, hey, wait a

00:30:14.170 --> 00:30:16.569
minute. It's a little correct. But, you know,

00:30:16.569 --> 00:30:18.450
it was right after punk. They were looking for

00:30:18.450 --> 00:30:21.430
utterly disrespectful and offensive terms. You

00:30:21.430 --> 00:30:22.829
know, you're going against the Dick Kennedys

00:30:22.829 --> 00:30:26.170
and the Sex Pistols. The Slits. The Slits, yeah.

00:30:26.609 --> 00:30:34.599
Yeah. Um, UB40. Oh, yeah. Red wine. Anyway, UB40

00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:37.460
is the form number of the form you fill out for

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:39.480
unemployment in Britain. I knew that. Yeah, I

00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:44.140
knew that. Just like that Bengals song, Going

00:30:44.140 --> 00:30:47.160
Down to Liverpool. They have a line in there,

00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:49.299
where are you going with that UB40 in your hand?

00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.779
Going down to Liverpool and do nothing. There's

00:30:52.779 --> 00:30:55.180
other ones that talk about the quid and the take.

00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:58.589
There's also talking about doling. Getting the

00:30:58.589 --> 00:31:03.329
Dole, which means public assistance. There's

00:31:03.329 --> 00:31:05.410
a lot of songs that actually offer that in there.

00:31:05.529 --> 00:31:09.609
And it's about being on welfare or being unemployed.

00:31:12.210 --> 00:31:17.269
Sucking from the public tit. Yes, that. You remember

00:31:17.269 --> 00:31:20.730
a band called The Misfits? They were from a 1961

00:31:20.730 --> 00:31:26.779
Marilyn Monroe movie of the same name. Velvet

00:31:26.779 --> 00:31:29.700
Underground. Oh, yeah. Remember Bill Bruford

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:32.359
quit Yes to going to Velvet Underground? I remember

00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:36.240
that. What a great move. Yeah. But the Velvet

00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:38.779
Underground was named after a book about underground

00:31:38.779 --> 00:31:42.519
sexual subcultures. Oh, wow. Yeah. So it was

00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.740
kind of a tell -all about all the pervs. doing

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:47.720
pervy stuff that most people didn't know about.

00:31:47.779 --> 00:31:49.039
Of course, now we have the internet, and you

00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:51.319
can get a video of it. Yeah, yeah. But that's

00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:53.180
what the Velvet Underground is like, bizarre

00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:54.839
sexual practices. Yeah, you want to see a guy

00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:56.859
trying to fuck a hamster? There you go, internet.

00:31:57.299 --> 00:32:00.339
Or insert one. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that too. You

00:32:00.339 --> 00:32:03.099
see, if you insert one, you put it inside pantyhose.

00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:05.319
If you're going to fuck it, you wrap it in duct

00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:07.599
tape. Hey, my fellow heavy breathers, this is

00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:13.839
Dash Riptide, your music news. Tony Omi, the

00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:16.519
godfather of metal. is featured in the new limited

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:19.720
docuseries, Iommi, the godfather of heavy metal,

00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:23.000
which streams exclusively on Gibson TV, with

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:26.319
the first volume released in early 2026. The

00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:29.039
series from Gibson Films explores his life, the

00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:31.619
origins of Black Sabbath, and his immense influence

00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:34.660
on metal and music. A deep dive into Iommi's

00:32:34.660 --> 00:32:36.839
life, including his formative years in Birmingham,

00:32:37.299 --> 00:32:39.880
the extent that shaped his guitar sound, and

00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:42.230
the birth of Black Sabbath. Interviews with other

00:32:42.230 --> 00:32:44.710
legendary musicians like Brian May, Rob Halford,

00:32:44.750 --> 00:32:48.329
Slash, and Zach Wilder also featured. Don't miss

00:32:48.329 --> 00:32:52.089
it. This is Gash Riptine, and that was your music

00:32:52.089 --> 00:32:55.130
news. If it's too loud, you probably have ear

00:32:55.130 --> 00:33:04.500
damage, just like me. So it doesn't just like

00:33:04.500 --> 00:33:07.519
burst wide open. Oh, thank you. All right, everybody.

00:33:08.059 --> 00:33:10.619
Allegedly and all that. See, that was the joke

00:33:10.619 --> 00:33:12.880
I was told. It was like, you know why you wrap

00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.519
your hamster in duct tape? No, why? So it doesn't

00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:19.619
burst when you fuck it. It's like, yeah, thanks.

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:23.920
Great joke. I'll remember that. Write it down.

00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:26.400
If you want to make somebody vomit internally,

00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:28.960
just tell them that one. That is fucking funny.

00:33:29.740 --> 00:33:33.200
Okay, Radiohead. It was a song by the Talking

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:36.539
Heads. Really? Yeah. They used the term radio

00:33:36.539 --> 00:33:41.779
head. And I guess Tom, was it York? He picked

00:33:41.779 --> 00:33:46.380
up on it and was like, ooh, I like that. 10 ,000

00:33:46.380 --> 00:33:49.559
Maniacs? Uh -huh. They got their name from a

00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:52.640
1964 cult horror film that was actually called

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:56.220
2 ,000 Maniacs. So they upped it to 10 ,000.

00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:58.460
And this was a time when the band was having

00:33:58.460 --> 00:34:00.640
trouble getting gigs. Yeah, what was the chick's

00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:04.559
name? Natalie Merchant. They would change their

00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.359
name every time because bars wouldn't hire them

00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:13.239
back. So they'd show up one week and be the sunflowers.

00:34:13.670 --> 00:34:15.789
And the band say, yeah, they're never coming

00:34:15.789 --> 00:34:17.690
back. So they show up next week and say, hey,

00:34:17.730 --> 00:34:19.289
we're 10 ,000 Maniacs. Like, all right, I'll

00:34:19.289 --> 00:34:21.130
give you a shot. And then they show up and it's

00:34:21.130 --> 00:34:24.230
the same band. They're like, fuck. Damn it. Well,

00:34:24.250 --> 00:34:26.909
they're already booked. Let them on stage. That's

00:34:26.909 --> 00:34:29.269
funny right now. And ironically for them, when

00:34:29.269 --> 00:34:32.389
they got discovered by a talent, an AR and R

00:34:32.389 --> 00:34:34.769
rep from the record label, they were performing

00:34:34.769 --> 00:34:36.929
under the name 10 ,000 Maniacs. And the record

00:34:36.929 --> 00:34:39.110
label insisted they keep that name. And they're

00:34:39.110 --> 00:34:43.630
like, fuck. So from the moment. that they started

00:34:43.630 --> 00:34:47.329
putting out albums under the name 10 ,000 Maniacs,

00:34:47.329 --> 00:34:49.329
the singer Natalie Merchant was already planning

00:34:49.329 --> 00:34:51.150
on going solo because she couldn't stand the

00:34:51.150 --> 00:34:53.809
name. Okay, that makes sense because she went

00:34:53.809 --> 00:34:56.489
solo pretty young. Pretty fast, yeah. Yeah, and

00:34:56.489 --> 00:34:58.670
she left everybody else kind of sitting in the

00:34:58.670 --> 00:35:06.409
dust. Tears for Fears. Shout, shout, let it all

00:35:06.409 --> 00:35:10.269
out. Those are the things we can do it out? Yeah.

00:35:10.670 --> 00:35:13.460
Can't do it out. Come on. I'm talking to you.

00:35:13.579 --> 00:35:19.199
Come on. Arthur Jenoff. Brilliant. Yes, yes.

00:35:19.619 --> 00:35:22.679
He was a psychologist who pioneered the primal

00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:26.099
scream therapy, and that's what Tears for Fears

00:35:26.099 --> 00:35:29.659
was. Oh, I love that. It was a different term

00:35:29.659 --> 00:35:32.539
for the primal scream. Which doesn't make sense

00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:34.760
at all. No. The song we just sang to you was

00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:38.659
her signature song. Yeah. Yeah. Doesn't match.

00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:40.820
Everybody wants to rule the world. Yeah, that's

00:35:40.820 --> 00:35:43.079
another one. And as it turns out, primal scream

00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.940
therapy was just nothing anyway. It was just

00:35:45.940 --> 00:35:49.260
stupid. Didn't work. Gimmick. Yeah, it was basically

00:35:49.260 --> 00:35:52.900
tap into your primal rage and fear and frustration

00:35:52.900 --> 00:35:55.260
and let it all in one big scream. Just let it

00:35:55.260 --> 00:35:57.989
out. Well, that doesn't fix anything. No, no,

00:35:58.030 --> 00:35:59.429
no. And they used to call it tension -breaking

00:35:59.429 --> 00:36:01.409
screams. Yeah. I remember we used to do that

00:36:01.409 --> 00:36:03.230
all the time. Someone would just walk up in the

00:36:03.230 --> 00:36:04.909
middle of a party and start throwing shit going,

00:36:05.030 --> 00:36:08.170
tension -breaking scream. Everyone would be like,

00:36:08.329 --> 00:36:13.250
okay, are you done? Yeah, okay. Turn the TV up.

00:36:15.469 --> 00:36:20.090
The band Simple Minds. Most of their listeners.

00:36:20.170 --> 00:36:23.010
Don't You Forget About Me. Oh, yeah. It was from

00:36:23.010 --> 00:36:26.300
a David Bowie song, Gene Genie. Really? And I

00:36:26.300 --> 00:36:31.579
know that song. But somewhere in there he says

00:36:31.579 --> 00:36:35.460
Simple Minds. Or Simple Minded. I don't know

00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:38.460
where, but okay. I've got a double album of old.

00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:44.820
It was like David Bowie's singles from 1969 through

00:36:44.820 --> 00:36:52.300
1992. And Gene Genie's on there. R .E .M. from

00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:54.739
Georgia. they actually named their band after

00:36:54.739 --> 00:36:57.760
the sleep cycle. Yes. Rapid eye movement. That's

00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:00.300
when you're dreaming and your eyes are moving

00:37:00.300 --> 00:37:02.019
like you're looking at what you're dreaming.

00:37:02.300 --> 00:37:04.000
You see, that was one of those ones that I knew

00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.159
without knowing, you know, but then I read later,

00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:07.960
yeah, that is what they named it after. I was

00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:09.460
like, that makes sense. Some of them are pretty

00:37:09.460 --> 00:37:17.679
obvious. Daft Punk. Oh, yeah. Early on in their

00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:21.610
career. A music critic used the phrase to describe

00:37:21.610 --> 00:37:25.489
their music as daft, punky thrash. So they said,

00:37:25.630 --> 00:37:27.550
all right, we're going to change our name to

00:37:27.550 --> 00:37:30.449
Daft Punk. Then later on they became Steampunk

00:37:30.449 --> 00:37:32.409
and made a lot of money with those images. They

00:37:32.409 --> 00:37:38.849
did very well with all this gadgetry. Bananarama.

00:37:39.650 --> 00:37:43.050
Not to be confused with Banana Hammock. Close,

00:37:43.130 --> 00:37:47.039
close, though. Close, yeah. It was a combination

00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:49.500
of the word banana, which they thought was funny,

00:37:49.619 --> 00:37:55.300
and a song by Roxy Music called Pajamarama. So

00:37:55.300 --> 00:37:57.579
they combined banana and pajamarama to become

00:37:57.579 --> 00:38:03.440
Bananarama. Bananarama. Bananarama. Okay. God

00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:05.599
bless them. Yes. That's all you can say. God

00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:08.400
bless them. Yeah, they didn't last long. Soundgarden.

00:38:09.340 --> 00:38:11.139
Soundgarden. I use the German pronunciation.

00:38:11.139 --> 00:38:14.559
Soundgarden. Soundgarden. All right. It's a wind.

00:38:15.289 --> 00:38:19.250
sculpture in seattle that uses pipes that channels

00:38:19.250 --> 00:38:22.349
the wind and makes moaning and hooting sounds

00:38:22.349 --> 00:38:25.150
and it's called the sound garden who would have

00:38:25.150 --> 00:38:27.469
fucking thought yeah i even saw a picture of

00:38:27.469 --> 00:38:29.789
it there it is that's what they named themselves

00:38:29.789 --> 00:38:32.889
after the sound garden i love the name i always

00:38:32.889 --> 00:38:35.329
thought it was about you know a garden of sound

00:38:35.329 --> 00:38:40.280
yeah yeah yeah One of the most underrated guitars

00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:44.440
ever. Yeah. Guy's amazing. I think he single

00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:46.920
-handedly brought guild guitars back from the

00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:49.599
brink. He did. He did. Because people started

00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:51.820
liking guild guitars again when they saw him

00:38:51.820 --> 00:38:54.679
playing them and all the amazing sounds he could

00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:56.539
get out of them. Yeah, and he was actually at

00:38:56.539 --> 00:38:57.960
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when they were

00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:02.179
inducted, too. Yeah. I appreciated that. The

00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:06.900
Foo Fighters. You ever hear of that one? Yeah,

00:39:06.940 --> 00:39:09.059
yeah. Isn't that named after the Japanese fighters

00:39:09.059 --> 00:39:12.440
or not? This was an aerial phenomenon reported

00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:15.099
by World War II fighters, and there were balls

00:39:15.099 --> 00:39:17.179
of light that were flitting around their airplanes

00:39:17.179 --> 00:39:19.840
and hanging around the wingtips. And I've seen

00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:25.559
film of this. It's a formation of airplanes flying

00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:28.139
over, and these little weird balls of light are

00:39:28.139 --> 00:39:30.980
flying around them. Yeah. Now, the theory is

00:39:30.980 --> 00:39:35.019
that it's static electricity. because the plane

00:39:35.019 --> 00:39:36.980
is whooshing by real fast, you're rubbing across

00:39:36.980 --> 00:39:39.599
all that air, you build up static. So it's similar

00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:44.000
to ball lightning, but they just named them Foo

00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:46.429
Fighters. Okay, you see, there were Japanese

00:39:46.429 --> 00:39:49.010
fighters that were called Foo Fighters, too,

00:39:49.030 --> 00:39:51.030
weren't there? Yeah, I think it's because the

00:39:51.030 --> 00:39:54.630
round circle on the emblem looked like a ball.

00:39:54.710 --> 00:39:57.690
They just didn't know. Ball, Foo Fighters. You

00:39:57.690 --> 00:39:59.030
see, I didn't know they were named after the

00:39:59.030 --> 00:40:01.289
phenomenon. I thought they were named after the

00:40:01.289 --> 00:40:03.789
actual Foo Fighters of the Japanese fighters.

00:40:03.869 --> 00:40:06.190
Okay, that's interesting. Close, but... Yeah.

00:40:07.510 --> 00:40:11.869
The Offspring? There was a 1987 horror movie

00:40:11.869 --> 00:40:15.099
of the same name. the offspring. I think I do

00:40:15.099 --> 00:40:17.460
remember that, too. Yeah, I barely remember it.

00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:21.980
Savage Garden. Not Sound Garden. Savage Garden.

00:40:25.420 --> 00:40:28.579
It's from a phrase used in one of Anne Rice's

00:40:28.579 --> 00:40:32.079
Vampire Chronicles books. She used the term Savage

00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:36.739
Garden. Probably so, yeah. Now, I have heard

00:40:36.739 --> 00:40:39.679
of a band called Secret Garden, and they're apparently

00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:42.340
named after a vagina. Because that's what people

00:40:42.340 --> 00:40:44.760
say. Oh, I gave them access to my secret garden.

00:40:45.139 --> 00:40:47.039
They're talking about their vaginas. Oh, yeah,

00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:49.199
yeah. What do you use, a hoe? Yeah. Oh, okay.

00:40:52.019 --> 00:40:57.000
Three Dog Night is an aboriginal phrase describing

00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:00.179
a very cold night. What was their biggest hit?

00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:03.179
Joy to the World. Joy to the World, yeah. Yeah.

00:41:03.179 --> 00:41:06.659
Yeah. All right. And let's see. The Beatles,

00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:12.019
they either took it from the bug. after, like,

00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:13.780
Buddy Holly and the Crickets, and they wanted

00:41:13.780 --> 00:41:16.059
some sort of bug name and then dispelled it.

00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:20.480
Or it was a 1953 biker movie called The Wild

00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:24.059
Ones, and one of the guys in the movie referred

00:41:24.059 --> 00:41:29.300
to his fellow bikers as beetles. Oh. Completely

00:41:29.300 --> 00:41:32.280
different than what I thought. It's not really

00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:34.760
sure which one is the real one because the beetles

00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:36.760
aren't telling. You see, I love the ones that

00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:38.599
are like this that throw a swerve on you. You're

00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:41.599
like, what? All these years, and now you're telling

00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:46.699
me... So, that was like 52 bands and how they

00:41:46.699 --> 00:41:49.480
got their names. Very cool. Thank you. All right.

00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:52.780
I got some interesting things here. I love it.

00:41:53.059 --> 00:41:56.360
Let's play... What was the number one song of

00:41:56.360 --> 00:42:00.539
the year? Oh, this will be good. Okay. 1987.

00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:04.820
What do you think the song of the year might

00:42:04.820 --> 00:42:07.800
have been? This was during the pop, big pop era.

00:42:08.219 --> 00:42:10.739
And there was also glam metal, but it was starting.

00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:13.760
Guns N' Roses were coming out. The mass deflation

00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:16.380
of hairdos started happening. There was no grunge

00:42:16.380 --> 00:42:18.800
yet? No, no grunge, not yet. So I remember Journey

00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:25.440
and Loverboy were real big. Yep. Gosh, I'm going

00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:30.219
to say either Loverboy's Turn Me Loose or Working

00:42:30.219 --> 00:42:31.579
for the Weekend. That was close. That was in

00:42:31.579 --> 00:42:35.480
the top ten. Oh, okay. Yeah. Or some Journey

00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:40.110
hit. I'm not sure about Journey, but probably,

00:42:40.389 --> 00:42:42.449
because that sounds about the right timeline.

00:42:42.710 --> 00:42:45.090
They have that one about birth control. Don't

00:42:45.090 --> 00:42:48.309
stop conceiving. Yes, yeah, yeah. Hold on to

00:42:48.309 --> 00:42:52.610
that semen. Yeah, I mean, it's used in movies.

00:42:52.610 --> 00:42:56.010
Yeah, it's great. It's all about not using birth

00:42:56.010 --> 00:42:58.170
control and having lots of babies. Don't stop

00:42:58.170 --> 00:43:00.789
conceiving. Yeah, and that's why they go black

00:43:00.789 --> 00:43:06.019
on the Sopranos one. All right. 1987, the Bengals

00:43:06.019 --> 00:43:08.440
walked like an Egyptian was the number one song.

00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:12.260
It's kind of hard to believe that the Bengals,

00:43:12.260 --> 00:43:15.079
being all poppy and a girl band, getting the

00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:18.260
number one hit in 1987 with all the other bands.

00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:21.619
Bon Jovi was huge. I think Steve Martin helped

00:43:21.619 --> 00:43:23.840
because he had his old King Tut thing not too

00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:27.679
long before that. So that kind of got raised

00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:31.260
awareness for Egyptians and mummies and tombs.

00:43:31.610 --> 00:43:33.570
And then you have the demonstrators. Yeah, they

00:43:33.570 --> 00:43:35.670
come out and say, yeah, we need to give the Egyptians

00:43:35.670 --> 00:43:39.309
more credit. Yeah. Plus Susanna Hoffs was just

00:43:39.309 --> 00:43:43.409
so freaking hot. It was so hot. Oh, my God. I

00:43:43.409 --> 00:43:46.849
about ruined my dick to her. Oh, did I say that?

00:43:47.170 --> 00:43:50.349
You said the quiet part aloud, I think. Yeah,

00:43:50.409 --> 00:43:54.269
I think I did. Yeah, yeah. And poor guy, he got

00:43:54.269 --> 00:43:57.449
beat up pretty good over her. Yep. All right.

00:43:58.269 --> 00:44:07.780
How about 1986? This one's a tricky one, because

00:44:07.780 --> 00:44:12.139
it's a collab of a lot of people. Oh, gosh. Okay,

00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:15.219
so it's one of those We Are the World or Beat

00:44:15.219 --> 00:44:21.800
Africa kind of things? How about Dion and Friends,

00:44:21.900 --> 00:44:25.289
as in Dion Warwick? Huh? Gladys Knight, Elton

00:44:25.289 --> 00:44:27.929
John, and Stevie Wonder called That's What Friends

00:44:27.929 --> 00:44:31.250
Are For. Oh, yeah. I remember it now, but not

00:44:31.250 --> 00:44:36.590
a minute until. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, that was like

00:44:36.590 --> 00:44:40.590
baby food for your ears. Yes. They made sure

00:44:40.590 --> 00:44:43.150
every single note and every single syllable couldn't

00:44:43.150 --> 00:44:45.650
possibly cause offense to anybody. Yeah, so they're

00:44:45.650 --> 00:44:47.809
like, come here for the big grip hug. Yeah. It's

00:44:47.809 --> 00:44:51.230
like the world's safest family -friendly music.

00:44:51.230 --> 00:44:54.199
It was made boring as hell. You drop your toxic

00:44:54.199 --> 00:44:57.719
masculinity at the door right now, mister. Put

00:44:57.719 --> 00:44:59.820
it down. Put it down. In this room, nobody has

00:44:59.820 --> 00:45:03.460
testicles. Testicles don't exist. They're evil.

00:45:03.719 --> 00:45:06.840
Nobody has genitals. Yeah. Yeah. Ooh, yeah. Ooh,

00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:11.340
ah. All right. 1985, I actually guessed this

00:45:11.340 --> 00:45:22.889
before I looked it up. Okay, the emerging band

00:45:22.889 --> 00:45:26.750
that did it was Wham. Oh. Careless Whisper. Careless

00:45:26.750 --> 00:45:29.349
Whisper. Yeah. Yeah, with George Michael and

00:45:29.349 --> 00:45:31.349
that other guy. Yeah, that nobody knows about.

00:45:31.369 --> 00:45:35.630
Yeah. I think he was parking my car the other

00:45:35.630 --> 00:45:38.610
day. Yeah. Nice guy. I really like him. Actually,

00:45:38.889 --> 00:45:41.210
George Michael did a really nice thing for him.

00:45:41.469 --> 00:45:43.949
Even though George Michael wrote that song years

00:45:43.949 --> 00:45:46.659
before when he was in high school. He wrote all

00:45:46.659 --> 00:45:48.800
the words, all the music, everything. Which one?

00:45:48.860 --> 00:45:51.420
Careless Whisper? Careless Whisper. When he put

00:45:51.420 --> 00:45:57.059
it out, he gave his partner in Wham half the

00:45:57.059 --> 00:45:59.539
songwriting credits. That's good. So that way

00:45:59.539 --> 00:46:02.159
that guy would be just as rich as George Michael

00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:05.219
and never have to worry about money again. So

00:46:05.219 --> 00:46:07.579
wherever he is, he's sitting on a pile of cash.

00:46:07.820 --> 00:46:10.760
Yeah, yeah. George Michael is sitting on a cloud

00:46:10.760 --> 00:46:15.929
or I don't know. Yeah, he's decomposing. In a

00:46:15.929 --> 00:46:17.929
bathroom somewhere. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:46:18.110 --> 00:46:21.010
He did die young, didn't he? About 50. Yeah.

00:46:21.150 --> 00:46:23.030
A heart attack, massive heart attack took him

00:46:23.030 --> 00:46:27.010
out. Yeah. Usually that's because of a long cocaine

00:46:27.010 --> 00:46:29.809
use. Well, yeah, yeah. It roasts your heart.

00:46:29.889 --> 00:46:32.409
And it's funny how this stuff comes out way after

00:46:32.409 --> 00:46:34.769
the fact. Like James Gandolfini, he died at 50.

00:46:34.889 --> 00:46:37.159
Mm -hmm. From a heart attack, massive heart attack.

00:46:37.340 --> 00:46:39.380
And then you find out years later that he was

00:46:39.380 --> 00:46:41.880
a massive cokehead. Yes. He used to come on the

00:46:41.880 --> 00:46:43.860
set and fuck things up, and he would actually

00:46:43.860 --> 00:46:46.000
pay his co -stars for putting up with him. Yep.

00:46:46.179 --> 00:46:48.260
And you're like, what, him? I thought he was

00:46:48.260 --> 00:46:50.559
squeaky clean. It is. Yeah, everyone said how

00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:52.980
he was just completely opposite of that soprano

00:46:52.980 --> 00:46:55.840
character. No. Not so much. I think it kind of

00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:58.539
got to him. Yeah. It's like when Toto's drummer

00:46:58.539 --> 00:47:01.190
died, Jeff Porcaro. Oh, yeah. They started the

00:47:01.190 --> 00:47:03.090
rumor that, oh, he'd been spraying pesticides

00:47:03.090 --> 00:47:05.530
in his yard earlier and just had a bad reaction.

00:47:05.789 --> 00:47:07.789
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it was cocaine. It

00:47:07.789 --> 00:47:09.570
was cocaine, yeah. He turned his blood vessels

00:47:09.570 --> 00:47:12.210
into concrete pipe. John Etwistle. His heart

00:47:12.210 --> 00:47:14.750
exploded. John Etwistle, another one of the who.

00:47:14.929 --> 00:47:18.110
Yeah. They said at first, they said, yeah, coronary,

00:47:18.130 --> 00:47:20.949
too bad, yeah, artery disease, yeah, sucks. And

00:47:20.949 --> 00:47:22.769
then later on, it's like, oh, there might have

00:47:22.769 --> 00:47:24.630
been a little bit of cocaine involved and a couple

00:47:24.630 --> 00:47:28.880
of hookers. Yeah. It was like, oh, yeah, yeah,

00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:31.320
a heart attack brought on by all the others.

00:47:31.500 --> 00:47:33.960
Yeah, it's like you could say that. Cocaine and

00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:36.440
ejaculation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could say

00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:38.920
that John F. Kennedy died of heart failure because

00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:40.719
his heart stopped beating after his head was

00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:43.519
blown open. Yes. You know, it all comes down

00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:45.179
to at some point your heart stops. You could

00:47:45.179 --> 00:47:47.679
call anything a cardiac event, a heart failure,

00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:49.920
whatever, and not even really be lying. You know,

00:47:49.940 --> 00:47:51.519
you could say whatever you want about Jackie

00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:53.719
Kennedy or Onassis, whatever you want to call

00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:57.400
her. She did try to put his head back together

00:47:57.400 --> 00:48:00.619
after it was fucking blown off. I felt so bad

00:48:00.619 --> 00:48:03.440
for her because her first instinct was to save

00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:05.239
her husband's life, and she tried to put his

00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:07.000
head back together after it had been shattered.

00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:10.199
And if you look at that still photograph, she

00:48:10.199 --> 00:48:12.579
got out of her seat and crawled backward onto

00:48:12.579 --> 00:48:15.119
the trunk of the car to get a piece of his skull.

00:48:15.340 --> 00:48:17.880
Yes. So that had to have been a shot from the

00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:19.300
front. That's something they never bring up.

00:48:19.300 --> 00:48:22.400
And Lee Harvey Oswald was behind. Behind, I know.

00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:26.239
Yeah. No, the fix was in. The fix was in. It's

00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:28.659
just like when Trump was almost assassinated.

00:48:28.820 --> 00:48:31.760
There is a template that they use. And they,

00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:34.960
you can say whoever they are. Whoever. Whoever

00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:37.539
the real people are in charge. But this is what

00:48:37.539 --> 00:48:41.280
happened. Okay, you got a guy, right? Okay. And

00:48:41.280 --> 00:48:44.099
he suddenly just gets by all the security somewhere

00:48:44.099 --> 00:48:47.500
and he's got a chip shot. Right there. Okay.

00:48:47.699 --> 00:48:51.380
He dies. Nothing to see here. Nobody around.

00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:54.880
Nothing. So, close case. Guy's dead. Lee Harvey

00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:57.420
Oswald, he survived that, but he did not survive

00:48:57.420 --> 00:49:00.980
the police tunnel that Jack Ruby, a reputed mobster

00:49:00.980 --> 00:49:04.579
in Dallas, how'd he get there? He had no clerics

00:49:04.579 --> 00:49:06.840
and he killed him. And then Jack Ruby died not

00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:08.820
too long after. Two days later from cancer. Yes.

00:49:09.619 --> 00:49:14.719
Another example I can give you is the organized

00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:18.409
crime... boss of chicago i forget allegedly all

00:49:18.409 --> 00:49:23.989
this yeah yeah um he went on vacation um he had

00:49:23.989 --> 00:49:26.110
just moved out of this big palatial house because

00:49:26.110 --> 00:49:27.849
he figured the irs paying too much attention

00:49:27.849 --> 00:49:30.829
and moved to a much more modest ranch style home

00:49:30.829 --> 00:49:34.170
a lot of them did yeah a lot of them did so he

00:49:34.170 --> 00:49:37.190
went on vacation and then this other this other

00:49:37.190 --> 00:49:41.239
thug in chicago decided to go rob his house because

00:49:41.239 --> 00:49:44.239
he didn't like it that the mob was making him

00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:46.960
pay tribute. So he went and was like, I'm just

00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:48.880
going to go rob the guy's house. So he put together

00:49:48.880 --> 00:49:50.539
a small crew and they went and robbed the guy's

00:49:50.539 --> 00:49:54.079
house. So when Mob Boss gets back and finds out

00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:58.159
that he's been burglarized, he contacts Tony

00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:01.820
Spolatro, the Joe Pesci character from Casino.

00:50:01.860 --> 00:50:05.659
Yes. he has him said, go find out who did this.

00:50:05.940 --> 00:50:08.519
And he hunts them down. And remember that scene

00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:10.400
in Casino where he's got the guy's head in a

00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:13.800
vice? He said, give up your partner. That was

00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:17.719
about this breakup. I didn't know that. I might

00:50:17.719 --> 00:50:20.500
be confusing two stories, but anyway, Tony found

00:50:20.500 --> 00:50:24.019
out who did it. And suddenly those guys started

00:50:24.019 --> 00:50:26.840
showing up, shot to death, throats cut in the

00:50:26.840 --> 00:50:29.940
trunks of their cars. And this is like 78, 79,

00:50:30.420 --> 00:50:32.960
and 1980. In all fairness, that was pretty fucking

00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:36.820
stupid. Yeah. But it's like guy after guy after

00:50:36.820 --> 00:50:40.820
guy. One of them was apprehended by the mob guys

00:50:40.820 --> 00:50:43.539
wearing a watch that belonged to the mob boss.

00:50:44.529 --> 00:50:47.670
And they tortured the snot out of him. I mean,

00:50:47.690 --> 00:50:49.570
they did all sorts of things to him before they

00:50:49.570 --> 00:50:51.289
killed him. You see, those guys, if we went back

00:50:51.289 --> 00:50:53.190
to, like, caveman days, those were the first

00:50:53.190 --> 00:50:56.710
ones killed by the fucking lion. Yes. Yeah, that's

00:50:56.710 --> 00:51:00.230
too dumb to live. And also, what he did was,

00:51:00.289 --> 00:51:03.389
it's a known practice. I grew up with some, we'll

00:51:03.389 --> 00:51:05.610
just leave them unnamed. They lived up the road

00:51:05.610 --> 00:51:07.429
on the hill. I lived in North Kansas City. They

00:51:07.429 --> 00:51:10.340
were up on the... on the bluff, the Missouri

00:51:10.340 --> 00:51:12.699
River Bluffs over there off Gladstone Boulevard,

00:51:12.900 --> 00:51:16.280
if you're familiar. And I used to hang out with

00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:19.019
their kids. You didn't know what they did. You

00:51:19.019 --> 00:51:20.739
had no idea. But I always thought it was weird

00:51:20.739 --> 00:51:22.539
how they'd have a very modest outside of the

00:51:22.539 --> 00:51:25.019
house. You walk in, there'd be a baby grand piano

00:51:25.019 --> 00:51:28.579
and golden doorknobs. It's like, even as a child,

00:51:28.659 --> 00:51:31.619
there's something going on here that I don't

00:51:31.619 --> 00:51:34.239
know about. And I don't know if I want to know

00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:36.179
about it. Maybe I shouldn't play dice with these

00:51:36.179 --> 00:51:38.260
kids anymore. Yeah, really. Yeah, so anyhow.

00:51:38.579 --> 00:51:42.670
So these bodies kept turning up. And then after

00:51:42.670 --> 00:51:47.449
all of the people who ran the burglary had been

00:51:47.449 --> 00:51:49.949
taken care of, there was a pause of a couple

00:51:49.949 --> 00:51:52.289
of months, and then two more bodies showed up,

00:51:52.289 --> 00:51:55.570
shot, didn't have their throats cut, but they

00:51:55.570 --> 00:51:57.090
were shot and stuffed in the trunks of their

00:51:57.090 --> 00:51:59.750
cars. Those were the two guys who had done all

00:51:59.750 --> 00:52:03.010
the previous killings. It was like, you two guys,

00:52:03.230 --> 00:52:04.989
here's the names of all the guys who ripped me

00:52:04.989 --> 00:52:06.949
off, go kill them all. And then when they were

00:52:06.949 --> 00:52:11.360
done, those two guys got killed. to break the

00:52:11.360 --> 00:52:16.960
chain of accountability. I'm sure the federal

00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:19.860
government has learned all these lessons, and

00:52:19.860 --> 00:52:22.699
they have assassins they can use and then kill.

00:52:23.039 --> 00:52:26.780
And that's what they did all the time, is they

00:52:26.780 --> 00:52:28.739
would hire a couple of outside assassins and

00:52:28.739 --> 00:52:31.019
then kill them right after. The guy who shot

00:52:31.019 --> 00:52:34.639
and killed Joey Colombo in Philadelphia shot

00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:40.030
himself moments later. It's like, hey, you kill

00:52:40.030 --> 00:52:42.449
our big mob boss, and then they're going to kill

00:52:42.449 --> 00:52:44.550
him. Yeah, then when they kill him, there's nobody

00:52:44.550 --> 00:52:46.710
to talk about. Nobody knows what happened. Next

00:52:46.710 --> 00:52:50.210
in line, come on up. And I'm sure there's a lot

00:52:50.210 --> 00:52:52.070
of governments around the world who are bright

00:52:52.070 --> 00:52:54.250
enough to figure that thing out and say, you

00:52:54.250 --> 00:52:55.789
know, that works out pretty well. Maybe we'll

00:52:55.789 --> 00:52:58.869
do that too. Yeah, you know, we talked about

00:52:58.869 --> 00:53:01.710
wag the dog on the way here. What do you think

00:53:01.710 --> 00:53:04.630
about my theory without going into it? Yeah,

00:53:04.630 --> 00:53:09.030
sounds pretty right. Big fucking bowl of nothing.

00:53:09.590 --> 00:53:14.030
But everyone's focusing in on it. It happens

00:53:14.030 --> 00:53:17.949
all the time. Hey, look over there. Jingle the

00:53:17.949 --> 00:53:19.610
keys in front of the baby's face so they don't

00:53:19.610 --> 00:53:22.329
see mama walking out the door. Yeah, that's a

00:53:22.329 --> 00:53:24.750
great way to describe dinner. Or hey, look, there's

00:53:24.750 --> 00:53:27.289
a naked person running while someone grabs your

00:53:27.289 --> 00:53:29.630
wallet. And you're like, where, where? Or peeks

00:53:29.630 --> 00:53:34.889
at your cards. Or something. Alright, how about

00:53:34.889 --> 00:53:41.010
1984? I should have guessed this because I was

00:53:41.010 --> 00:53:45.349
a huge fan. I found him really refreshing. I

00:53:45.349 --> 00:53:47.610
was going to say some hit by Van Halen, but I'm

00:53:47.610 --> 00:53:51.289
guessing not. No, him. One person. One person.

00:53:51.409 --> 00:53:53.869
He might have been from Minneapolis, maybe. Oh,

00:53:53.869 --> 00:53:56.889
Prince. Yeah. When Doves Cry. When Doves Cry.

00:53:57.070 --> 00:54:00.110
Yes. And I should have guessed it. Yeah. Because

00:54:00.110 --> 00:54:03.510
1984 and Prince, I remember that album. I remember

00:54:03.510 --> 00:54:06.940
thinking, what a guitar player. And nobody ever

00:54:06.940 --> 00:54:10.219
talked about his guitar playing. Yeah. Oh, he

00:54:10.219 --> 00:54:14.460
is so gifted. Yeah. That right there is why fentanyl

00:54:14.460 --> 00:54:16.639
needs to be outlawed. Yeah. It took out Prince.

00:54:16.820 --> 00:54:21.000
It did. Yeah. And then that was propofol on Michael

00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:23.260
Jackson, so we're going to go ahead and let propofol

00:54:23.260 --> 00:54:25.599
stay. We don't care about that, but we do care

00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:30.480
about Prince. All right. All this tongue -in

00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:32.039
-cheek. We know this. We don't want anyone dead.

00:54:32.179 --> 00:54:38.699
All right. 1983. I just did a story about the...

00:54:38.699 --> 00:54:41.800
I'm going to say journey. Okay, the drummer showed

00:54:41.800 --> 00:54:48.579
up at a Black Sabbath store step. And the guy

00:54:48.579 --> 00:54:52.059
said, hey, the police are here. Stuart Copeland,

00:54:52.139 --> 00:54:55.360
the police? Yes. Okay. Yeah, the police every

00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:57.039
breath you take. Every breath you take, yeah.

00:54:57.569 --> 00:55:00.170
Yep, which was a creepy song. Oh, yeah. But she

00:55:00.170 --> 00:55:02.670
admitted about stalking somebody. Yeah, but people

00:55:02.670 --> 00:55:05.210
suddenly, oh, I'll play that at my wedding. Ew,

00:55:05.429 --> 00:55:08.130
okay. Yeah, it's like, you really want to play

00:55:08.130 --> 00:55:10.530
that? That guy was a creep chasing somebody and

00:55:10.530 --> 00:55:12.409
wouldn't leave him alone. Yeah, I got this real

00:55:12.409 --> 00:55:14.769
pretty song by Marilyn Manson that you want to

00:55:14.769 --> 00:55:17.110
play. Or one by Lex Diamond. Maybe you'll play

00:55:17.110 --> 00:55:18.789
it at your wedding. King Diamond. King Diamond,

00:55:18.909 --> 00:55:21.230
yeah. Lex Diamond, they were fucking him up.

00:55:21.230 --> 00:55:28.059
Yeah. I got to get you that flyer. The guy from

00:55:28.059 --> 00:55:31.840
the hurricane, the manager of the hurricane,

00:55:32.079 --> 00:55:35.440
was so pissed. He put a bounty on us. I think

00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:36.920
it was like a couple hundred dollars to catch

00:55:36.920 --> 00:55:39.639
who was putting that the fuckhammer was playing

00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:43.699
at the hurricane. Because if someone was smart,

00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:45.719
they wouldn't name themselves fuckhammer. Yeah.

00:55:45.780 --> 00:55:48.360
Because everybody loved them for no reason. You

00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:49.900
did all the legwork for them. I did all the legwork.

00:55:49.900 --> 00:55:52.639
They could have just cashed right in. Yes. And

00:55:52.639 --> 00:55:54.739
then the fact that Lake's Diamond looks so fucking

00:55:54.739 --> 00:55:58.889
cool. They're as ugly as fucking sin in a church

00:55:58.889 --> 00:56:04.070
on Sunday. But they tried to pretty it up with

00:56:04.070 --> 00:56:11.989
a lot of makeup. Did not work. 1990. 90? Yeah,

00:56:12.030 --> 00:56:18.489
this is kind of hip -hop pop. Oh, gosh. Can't

00:56:18.489 --> 00:56:23.469
touch this. Close. End of the road. Boys to men.

00:56:24.210 --> 00:56:26.679
Men to men. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Men to men now.

00:56:26.719 --> 00:56:32.760
New men on the block. Yep. Yep, 1990. Backstreet

00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:36.440
men. Backstreet men. Because they weren't boys.

00:56:36.659 --> 00:56:39.019
They weren't kids. Backstreet men doing questionable

00:56:39.019 --> 00:56:42.280
things. These were horny adult men that wanted

00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:45.280
to rape your little daughter. Allegedly. Allegedly.

00:56:45.420 --> 00:56:48.659
Yeah. Except for that gay one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:56:48.739 --> 00:56:51.679
He wanted your son. Yes. But that's okay, you

00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:53.500
know. It was like that Elton John. Like that

00:56:53.500 --> 00:56:55.780
Elton John song, Don't Let Your Son Go Down On

00:56:55.780 --> 00:57:01.780
Me? Oh, that's not the way it goes? Oh, okay.

00:57:01.940 --> 00:57:03.460
No, that's the way it goes. I'm pretty sure.

00:57:03.539 --> 00:57:11.280
Yeah, that's it. How about 1991? Man, Soundgarden's

00:57:11.280 --> 00:57:14.460
got to be in here somewhere. But I doubt that

00:57:14.460 --> 00:57:16.000
they were the number one song in the country.

00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:19.659
There's usually, you know, some... Unfortunately,

00:57:19.780 --> 00:57:22.079
no, they're not anywhere on here. Corporate bullshit.

00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:24.860
Usually winds up being the number one song. That's

00:57:24.860 --> 00:57:26.679
pretty much what all these are, yeah. These are

00:57:26.679 --> 00:57:31.760
forced down our throat. 91, I can't. I'm going

00:57:31.760 --> 00:57:36.739
to guess Sweet Child of Mine. Well, that's a

00:57:36.739 --> 00:57:39.159
good guess, but Bryan Adams, Everything I Do.

00:57:39.519 --> 00:57:43.219
Oh, yeah, another mushy, soft ballad. That's

00:57:43.219 --> 00:57:45.380
all they would let them do for a while. Rock

00:57:45.380 --> 00:57:48.039
is getting too threatening. We need to make it

00:57:48.039 --> 00:57:51.610
nice and soft and friendly. Too much. pull everyone's

00:57:51.610 --> 00:57:54.190
teeth and cut everyone's balls off and just make

00:57:54.190 --> 00:57:57.610
them all breathy voices. Yeah, that toxic masculinity

00:57:57.610 --> 00:58:00.730
has no business in music. We need to end it now.

00:58:00.949 --> 00:58:03.329
Frank Zappa was right about record producers.

00:58:04.170 --> 00:58:06.369
They're all scum and slime and they all need

00:58:06.369 --> 00:58:11.070
to go to jail. Yes, I agree with him. Record

00:58:11.070 --> 00:58:13.949
executives, not producers, record executives,

00:58:14.150 --> 00:58:17.550
that was it. You notice on Zappa's albums there

00:58:17.550 --> 00:58:20.449
was no executive anything. Nobody wanted that

00:58:20.449 --> 00:58:23.949
name next to their name because Zappa hated executives.

00:58:24.949 --> 00:58:27.289
Yes. He also kind of hated women, if you read

00:58:27.289 --> 00:58:29.489
the lyrics. He just kind of had a problem with

00:58:29.489 --> 00:58:33.789
women. Yeah, he really did. Yeah. His track record

00:58:33.789 --> 00:58:36.849
wasn't the best either. I think he had that album,

00:58:36.969 --> 00:58:40.349
Thingfish, where there was a strong career woman

00:58:40.349 --> 00:58:44.409
who had sex with a briefcase. Yeah, Zappa had

00:58:44.409 --> 00:58:47.449
a problem with women. He did, yes. Very much

00:58:47.449 --> 00:58:54.349
so. All right. 1990. 1990. This is a couple of

00:58:54.349 --> 00:58:57.250
women that got together, and they were prominent

00:58:57.250 --> 00:59:10.369
musician dads. Their hit was Hold On. Oh. How

00:59:10.369 --> 00:59:14.440
about Wilson Phillips? Oh, okay. Okay. That was

00:59:14.440 --> 00:59:16.880
hard. That's why I gave you all the clues. I

00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:20.420
was thinking of a Kansas song called Hold On.

00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:21.840
I couldn't get that out of me. Oh, that's right.

00:59:22.019 --> 00:59:27.280
Hold on, baby, hold on. So yeah, the Hold On

00:59:27.280 --> 00:59:30.039
was featured in the movie Bridesmaids, which

00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:32.739
is a pretty freaking funny movie. Yeah, it was.

00:59:32.940 --> 00:59:35.400
And I'm not going in order here. I'm actually

00:59:35.400 --> 00:59:38.400
ascending. I was ascending. Now I'm descending.

00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:39.980
It's more fun when you don't go in order. It

00:59:39.980 --> 00:59:46.289
is, yeah. 1989. Named after a big city in the

00:59:46.289 --> 00:59:55.750
Midwest. Wichita lineman. That's it. Chicago.

00:59:56.469 --> 01:00:01.210
Oh, okay. Look away. Had to be from some movie

01:00:01.210 --> 01:00:04.610
because I don't recognize the song. Yeah. You

01:00:04.610 --> 01:00:07.989
notice there for a while movie theme songs were

01:00:07.989 --> 01:00:10.710
like dominating the airwaves. It's like they

01:00:10.710 --> 01:00:12.969
were trying to get us to not rock out anymore.

01:00:13.090 --> 01:00:14.789
They didn't want us to be happy. I think some

01:00:14.789 --> 01:00:16.730
of these songs that we don't recognize were probably

01:00:16.730 --> 01:00:19.889
movie themes. They were huge, like you said.

01:00:20.389 --> 01:00:23.110
This guy was down there a little ways, but in

01:00:23.110 --> 01:00:28.510
a band a little bit ago. 1988. His real name

01:00:28.510 --> 01:00:36.389
is George Papakirio. That would be one George

01:00:36.389 --> 01:00:39.070
Michael. Oh, okay. I was thinking George Harrison.

01:00:40.010 --> 01:00:42.369
George, right? Yeah, okay. That makes sense.

01:00:42.510 --> 01:00:44.929
George Michael. I think it's Papa Garrio. Something

01:00:44.929 --> 01:00:48.130
like that. It's a long -ass Greek name. Okay,

01:00:48.329 --> 01:00:51.989
it was Faith. Oh, yeah. Which, I really like

01:00:51.989 --> 01:00:53.829
that song. I thought the song was really... I

01:00:53.829 --> 01:00:56.070
actually really like George Michael. I mean,

01:00:56.090 --> 01:00:59.670
his voice had such a range, but he didn't really

01:00:59.670 --> 01:01:02.769
use it in his music. until he joined Queen. Yeah.

01:01:02.989 --> 01:01:04.570
And then he started showing, and I'm like, my

01:01:04.570 --> 01:01:06.469
God, this guy, where was this guy this whole

01:01:06.469 --> 01:01:08.929
time? Yeah. I knew he had talent, but not that

01:01:08.929 --> 01:01:13.190
kind of talent. I remember listening to his song

01:01:13.190 --> 01:01:17.650
Father Figure. Uh -huh. And even if people don't

01:01:17.650 --> 01:01:20.389
like the music, listen to his vocal control.

01:01:20.530 --> 01:01:23.130
It's amazing what he's able to accomplish. The

01:01:23.130 --> 01:01:25.590
guy was so talented, and the thing is, to me,

01:01:25.590 --> 01:01:28.849
was wasted on the pop music. Yeah. But he was

01:01:28.849 --> 01:01:32.239
making money. Yeah. I would put George Michael's

01:01:32.239 --> 01:01:35.800
vocal abilities in the same ballpark with Whitney

01:01:35.800 --> 01:01:38.659
Houston. Me too. Because that woman was phenomenal.

01:01:39.539 --> 01:01:45.059
And shame on Bobby Brown for destroying Whitney

01:01:45.059 --> 01:01:47.860
Houston's life and robbing us of all the music

01:01:47.860 --> 01:01:53.360
she could have created. Yeah, no, I agree. People

01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:55.579
need to be smacking Bobby Brown in the face every

01:01:55.579 --> 01:01:58.300
opportunity they get. They should, even though

01:01:58.300 --> 01:02:02.050
they set him up, supposedly. Allegedly. Supposedly

01:02:02.050 --> 01:02:05.829
allegedly. Yeah, they wanted to enhance her gangster

01:02:05.829 --> 01:02:09.289
image. Allegedly. I don't know if this is true,

01:02:09.349 --> 01:02:11.610
but this has been going around a long time. Imagine

01:02:11.610 --> 01:02:13.610
Whitney Houston doing gangster rap. That would

01:02:13.610 --> 01:02:17.369
just suck. That would suck right out loud. Boy,

01:02:17.409 --> 01:02:21.250
my God, too. And I mean, she would, you know,

01:02:21.269 --> 01:02:22.849
we don't even need to go into it. That whole

01:02:22.849 --> 01:02:26.670
thing is sad. As a side note, there is a medical

01:02:26.670 --> 01:02:30.469
examiner in Seattle. who has re -examined the

01:02:30.469 --> 01:02:33.329
materials surrounding Kurt Cobain's death and

01:02:33.329 --> 01:02:37.050
has ruled that this has been a staged event and

01:02:37.050 --> 01:02:39.789
that he did not commit suicide. Who did this?

01:02:39.789 --> 01:02:43.550
A medical examiner in Seattle. Now, he's not

01:02:43.550 --> 01:02:47.409
official on the case, but he is a medical examiner,

01:02:47.469 --> 01:02:49.349
and he got a hold of all the materials and everything

01:02:49.349 --> 01:02:51.730
surrounding Kurt Cobain's death, and he says

01:02:51.730 --> 01:02:54.949
this was staged. This was absolutely not a naturally

01:02:54.949 --> 01:02:59.860
occurring event. This was staged. So expect that

01:02:59.860 --> 01:03:02.139
guy to wind up dead pretty soon. Yes. Because

01:03:02.139 --> 01:03:03.760
they've killed everyone else who's been trying

01:03:03.760 --> 01:03:07.440
to tell us that Kurt Cobain was murdered. Too

01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:09.800
bad they never got Courtney Love. Well, she's

01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:11.699
one of the ones killing people. Oh, that's right.

01:03:12.079 --> 01:03:14.699
She should use a killery claim. The guy that

01:03:14.699 --> 01:03:17.539
she allegedly hired to go shoot him, he gave

01:03:17.539 --> 01:03:19.739
two interviews saying, yeah, Courtney hired me,

01:03:19.760 --> 01:03:21.599
she offered me $10 ,000 to go kill her husband.

01:03:22.260 --> 01:03:25.019
After the second interview, he disappeared. And

01:03:25.019 --> 01:03:28.530
he has never been found. I mean, it's like he

01:03:28.530 --> 01:03:33.969
was just removed from life. Wow. Yeah. Okay.

01:03:34.230 --> 01:03:37.630
Wherever Jimmy Hoffa is, that guy is too. Giant

01:03:37.630 --> 01:03:43.809
Stadium? I don't know. All right. 2020. The year

01:03:43.809 --> 01:03:48.349
2020. The COVID year. That fun year. Oh, yeah.

01:03:48.929 --> 01:03:55.010
Yeah. Gosh. I don't know that I was even listening

01:03:55.010 --> 01:03:56.949
to the radio. I wasn't either. Yeah, what was

01:03:56.949 --> 01:04:00.210
our hot song that year? The Weekend, but it's

01:04:00.210 --> 01:04:04.070
spelled W -E -E -K -N -D. The Weekend. Weekend.

01:04:04.150 --> 01:04:06.070
Like, you got weaker, so you've been weakened.

01:04:06.349 --> 01:04:08.730
Oh, I guess it would be weakened. Okay, The Weekend.

01:04:08.909 --> 01:04:12.349
He's got a weak need. He has weak knees, or he's

01:04:12.349 --> 01:04:15.090
just been weakened. Who knows how they meant

01:04:15.090 --> 01:04:19.050
it. Oh, well, Blinding Lights. Whatever. That's

01:04:19.050 --> 01:04:21.409
the guy that destroyed his face with plastic

01:04:21.409 --> 01:04:25.210
surgery. He just looks like bad taxidermy now.

01:04:25.489 --> 01:04:27.869
What, the weekend, or the weekend guy? Yeah,

01:04:27.869 --> 01:04:30.369
the weekend guy, yeah. Is that how they pronounced

01:04:30.369 --> 01:04:32.329
it, the weekend? No, it's supposed to be the

01:04:32.329 --> 01:04:35.070
weekend, but I pronounce it weekend, just to

01:04:35.070 --> 01:04:38.269
be disrespectful. Okay, I believe it was weekend,

01:04:38.369 --> 01:04:41.610
so okay. But yeah, he, man, he just didn't look

01:04:41.610 --> 01:04:46.760
human anymore. No, no, he, yeah. In Blinding

01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:48.820
Lights, I don't remember that song at all, do

01:04:48.820 --> 01:04:51.519
you? No. In fact, I think he's gone back to using

01:04:51.519 --> 01:04:54.360
his real name instead of that slang term, because

01:04:54.360 --> 01:04:56.079
it just wasn't working for him. Yeah, I can't

01:04:56.079 --> 01:05:03.500
remember. All right, 2019. I believe this, but

01:05:03.500 --> 01:05:06.360
I did not know this song was this old. I can't

01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:08.860
think of what would be there. Lil Nas featured

01:05:08.860 --> 01:05:13.699
Billy Ray Cyrus, Old Town Road. Oh, okay. Yeah,

01:05:13.800 --> 01:05:16.420
and I didn't think a song was that old. No. I

01:05:16.420 --> 01:05:19.239
definitely thought it was post -COVID. Yeah.

01:05:20.119 --> 01:05:22.900
Yeah. It is kind of surprising that Billy Ray

01:05:22.900 --> 01:05:25.719
was still active in the music industry as recently

01:05:25.719 --> 01:05:28.659
as 2019. No, I know. Isn't that weird? Yeah.

01:05:29.800 --> 01:05:33.239
Yeah. I thought people pretty much already figured

01:05:33.239 --> 01:05:36.340
him out by around the year 2000 or so. I think

01:05:36.340 --> 01:05:38.639
his daughter probably helped his career along

01:05:38.639 --> 01:05:40.940
again. That's true. Brought awareness to him,

01:05:40.980 --> 01:05:49.449
all that good stuff. Yeah. 2018. Yep. His name

01:05:49.449 --> 01:05:53.210
rhymes with rake, like garden rake. Drake? Yes.

01:05:53.329 --> 01:05:56.789
Canadian guy? Yeah. The only thing I know about

01:05:56.789 --> 01:05:59.449
Drake is some ridiculous person got his name

01:05:59.449 --> 01:06:02.030
tattooed in giant letters across her forehead.

01:06:02.449 --> 01:06:07.750
Oh, what a great idea. Yeah. God's Plan was the

01:06:07.750 --> 01:06:09.650
name of the song, so I'll take their word on

01:06:09.650 --> 01:06:16.079
it. Okay. All right. 2017. That would have been

01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:19.559
the Grateful Dead Touch of Grey. This guy's a

01:06:19.559 --> 01:06:23.840
pop guy. The music creeps. The greatest podcast

01:06:23.840 --> 01:06:28.880
ever in the history of mankind. Just kidding.

01:06:30.420 --> 01:06:32.900
That did not look like any type of a rock guy

01:06:32.900 --> 01:06:35.559
at all. He looked like a goofy kid next door

01:06:35.559 --> 01:06:39.239
that could sing really well. And his name is

01:06:39.239 --> 01:06:43.760
Ed Sheerhan. Oh, yeah. Shape of You was the name

01:06:43.760 --> 01:06:46.920
of the song. I made a very concentrated effort

01:06:46.920 --> 01:06:50.079
to never hear any of Ed Sheerhan's music. That's

01:06:50.079 --> 01:06:52.980
a smart move. I accidentally heard some one time,

01:06:53.059 --> 01:06:55.619
and I had to go to therapy for a couple of months.

01:06:55.760 --> 01:06:58.260
It was awful. I was screaming and night terrors

01:06:58.260 --> 01:07:01.480
and everything. It was horrible. Just the uncontrollable

01:07:01.480 --> 01:07:04.519
vomiting that happens. Oh, my God. I've got to

01:07:04.519 --> 01:07:06.820
move on. I've got to move on. It was like the

01:07:06.820 --> 01:07:08.579
other day I turned on the football game, and

01:07:08.579 --> 01:07:10.460
I had the sound down, but I had the closed captioning

01:07:10.460 --> 01:07:12.780
on. And it would say what one of the announcers

01:07:12.780 --> 01:07:14.300
was saying, and then when the other announcer

01:07:14.300 --> 01:07:16.420
would talk, it wasn't words. It would just say

01:07:16.420 --> 01:07:18.900
in parentheses, you know, angry chimp noises.

01:07:19.079 --> 01:07:21.840
or caveman grunting. It's like, who the hell?

01:07:21.840 --> 01:07:23.599
So I turned the sound off. It was Tony Romo.

01:07:23.639 --> 01:07:27.900
Well, of course. Yeah. So when he talks, AI can

01:07:27.900 --> 01:07:30.780
only interpret it as angry chimps grunting. It

01:07:30.780 --> 01:07:32.619
does sound like angry chimps grunting. Yeah.

01:07:32.699 --> 01:07:35.880
The other day on a game, the Bills were lining

01:07:35.880 --> 01:07:39.280
up for quarterback sneak, and he rushed in so

01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:42.159
hard, he had to get the term tush -push in there.

01:07:44.199 --> 01:07:46.719
He just had to scram it right in there right

01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:49.320
before the play happened. He was so eager to

01:07:49.320 --> 01:07:51.179
use that word. But they don't do the tush -push.

01:07:51.219 --> 01:07:54.699
They do the push -push. Tony Romo just really

01:07:54.699 --> 01:07:57.099
wanted to say that phrase on air. I'm sure they've

01:07:57.099 --> 01:07:59.039
been told, say that as many times as possible.

01:07:59.860 --> 01:08:04.860
Until they outlaw it. Yeah. All right. 2016.

01:08:07.119 --> 01:08:12.900
This guy had some delightful times with... What

01:08:12.900 --> 01:08:15.780
the hell is his name now? Damn it, the guy with

01:08:15.780 --> 01:08:20.659
all the baby oil. P. Diddy. P. Diddy, yeah. Sean

01:08:20.659 --> 01:08:24.479
Combs. Yeah, Sean Diddy Combs. Sean Beaver Oil

01:08:24.479 --> 01:08:28.520
Combs. Justin Beaver would be. Justin Beaver,

01:08:28.600 --> 01:08:32.020
oh yeah. The song's called Love Yourself. With

01:08:32.020 --> 01:08:34.439
a penis, someone else's penis. Make love to yourself,

01:08:34.579 --> 01:08:38.859
yeah. Yeah, with someone else's penis. Boy, Justin

01:08:38.859 --> 01:08:41.229
Beaver's been just kind of. disappeared for a

01:08:41.229 --> 01:08:43.289
while, hasn't he? Yes, he has. I mean, he's trying

01:08:43.289 --> 01:08:45.510
to recover from all the times that Diddy raped

01:08:45.510 --> 01:08:47.729
him. He needs to start doing, like, charity work

01:08:47.729 --> 01:08:49.909
or something. He needs to rebuild his image because

01:08:49.909 --> 01:08:53.630
people are, like, going, dude. Yeah, I mean,

01:08:53.649 --> 01:08:57.689
for part of the time, he was a child being taken

01:08:57.689 --> 01:09:00.289
advantage of by adults, but I think at some point

01:09:00.289 --> 01:09:03.010
he started joining in wholeheartedly and embraced

01:09:03.010 --> 01:09:08.720
that sick... pedophile lifestyle. Yes. And now

01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:11.199
he's got to go, you know, redo himself and try

01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:16.319
to get out from under it. I would agree. How

01:09:16.319 --> 01:09:24.420
about 2021? That one I'm just going to blank

01:09:24.420 --> 01:09:29.840
on. Okay, so this is spelled D -U -A. Dua? Dua.

01:09:30.140 --> 01:09:36.619
Dua. Lipa. Or Lipa. L -I -P -A. So named after

01:09:36.619 --> 01:09:40.600
liposuction. Yeah, do a liposuction. Yeah. Levitating.

01:09:40.760 --> 01:09:43.399
You sure her first name isn't FUPA? It is. It's

01:09:43.399 --> 01:09:46.079
FUPA. FUPA, which stands for fatty upper pubic

01:09:46.079 --> 01:09:49.000
area. Yes, yeah. It's FUPA. FUPA liposuction.

01:09:49.239 --> 01:09:51.279
Liposuction, yeah. And that would be levitating

01:09:51.279 --> 01:09:56.460
after you lost all your weight. You know what's

01:09:56.460 --> 01:09:58.460
funny? The other day I saw a commercial for one

01:09:58.460 --> 01:10:01.520
of those, I won't say the name of the, but one

01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:03.840
of those that do the cryogenic freeze thing to

01:10:03.840 --> 01:10:06.909
remove fat. Yeah, where Ted Williams' head fucking

01:10:06.909 --> 01:10:11.569
rotted. It's not normal liposuction. It's like

01:10:11.569 --> 01:10:14.090
cool liposuction where they freeze the fat and

01:10:14.090 --> 01:10:16.390
then suck it out of you. They showed the staff

01:10:16.390 --> 01:10:20.680
of that place. Not a damn one of them. has had

01:10:20.680 --> 01:10:23.420
that procedure done. I would never have it done.

01:10:23.420 --> 01:10:25.300
All of them are very big people. It's like they

01:10:25.300 --> 01:10:27.460
work there and they don't even want it done to

01:10:27.460 --> 01:10:29.399
them. So you know that what they're doing is

01:10:29.399 --> 01:10:31.899
pretty awful. They know the secrets. Yeah. Like

01:10:31.899 --> 01:10:34.039
five years from now, your body's going to erode

01:10:34.039 --> 01:10:37.560
into mush because of this bizarre procedure that

01:10:37.560 --> 01:10:39.380
was done. It's like the employees won't even

01:10:39.380 --> 01:10:42.039
use it and I ain't using it. No, I agree. No,

01:10:42.119 --> 01:10:44.199
no, no. And those were all very big people working

01:10:44.199 --> 01:10:50.109
at that weight loss clinic. Yeah. How about 2022?

01:10:57.010 --> 01:10:59.189
I'm just going to go with it. Glass Animals,

01:10:59.529 --> 01:11:02.789
Heat Waves. See these bands I don't even know.

01:11:02.989 --> 01:11:06.329
2023, Morgan Wallen, Last Night. 2024, Teddy

01:11:06.329 --> 01:11:11.689
Swims, Boost Control. 2025, though, Lady Gaga,

01:11:11.909 --> 01:11:15.350
Bruno Mars, Die With a Smile. You know what's

01:11:15.350 --> 01:11:17.689
interesting? Nowhere on that list was Taylor

01:11:17.689 --> 01:11:21.229
Swift. That is interesting, isn't it? I thought

01:11:21.229 --> 01:11:23.390
she had all the hits and was the hugest thing

01:11:23.390 --> 01:11:27.529
ever, but maybe it was all just PR. Maybe it's

01:11:27.529 --> 01:11:30.649
PR. Maybe PR convinced us Taylor Swift was a

01:11:30.649 --> 01:11:32.670
lot bigger than she really was. I have a shit

01:11:32.670 --> 01:11:34.869
ton of more, but I think we'll save them for

01:11:34.869 --> 01:11:36.890
another time because I think it's probably starting

01:11:36.890 --> 01:11:42.010
to get a little boring. I've got a list of old

01:11:42.010 --> 01:11:44.409
bands that are still out there touring that just

01:11:44.409 --> 01:11:49.649
need to stop and hang it up. Yeah. David Lee

01:11:49.649 --> 01:11:54.569
Roth springs to mind. You know what? She is not

01:11:54.569 --> 01:11:57.970
on here anywhere. Isn't that weird? That is really

01:11:57.970 --> 01:12:00.090
weird. She must have a bunch of number twos.

01:12:01.050 --> 01:12:03.409
Oh, yeah. And that could be used either way.

01:12:03.489 --> 01:12:08.670
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Oh, here's one.

01:12:08.770 --> 01:12:13.090
Ace of Base. Ooh. All right. That was a long

01:12:13.090 --> 01:12:16.180
time ago. Yes, it was. Alright, starting our

01:12:16.180 --> 01:12:18.800
list of bands that are still touring that need

01:12:18.800 --> 01:12:24.000
to just cut it out. Okay. Bon Jovi. Yes. If you

01:12:24.000 --> 01:12:26.699
take a look at his clips, live clips from 2024

01:12:26.699 --> 01:12:32.140
and 2025, his voice is nothing like it used to

01:12:32.140 --> 01:12:35.239
be. I mean, you think of Bad Medicine and Young

01:12:35.239 --> 01:12:38.460
Guns and Living on a Prayer, that's not how he

01:12:38.460 --> 01:12:40.520
sounds. You would not even recognize him anymore.

01:12:41.970 --> 01:12:46.250
It's weak. It's broken. He looks like Ellen DeGeneres.

01:12:46.250 --> 01:12:49.210
He really does. He's got tons of loose, wrinkly

01:12:49.210 --> 01:12:51.649
arm skin hanging down. When he puts his arms

01:12:51.649 --> 01:12:54.170
over his head in the rock and roll gesture, there's

01:12:54.170 --> 01:12:57.170
all this loose, crepe -looking, wobbly skin.

01:12:57.270 --> 01:12:59.489
It's like, dude, put a long -sleeved shirt on,

01:12:59.550 --> 01:13:04.470
please. He's not David Lee Roth cringe -worthy,

01:13:04.609 --> 01:13:06.449
but I'm telling you, in another few years, he

01:13:06.449 --> 01:13:09.310
might be there. Yeah. Yeah. And something, you

01:13:09.310 --> 01:13:12.229
know, I saw clips of a lot of these bands and

01:13:12.229 --> 01:13:14.710
their live performances, and I made a list of

01:13:14.710 --> 01:13:20.229
things that the tour managers do to try to make

01:13:20.229 --> 01:13:23.670
it more palatable for the crowd. Okay, the songs

01:13:23.670 --> 01:13:28.689
are slowed down. Way slower. So anytime you go

01:13:28.689 --> 01:13:31.149
out and see one of these bands from the 70s or

01:13:31.149 --> 01:13:32.930
80s or whatever, their songs are going to be

01:13:32.930 --> 01:13:35.689
really slow because they just can't sing them

01:13:35.689 --> 01:13:39.069
fast enough. A lot of them are lowered in pitch

01:13:39.069 --> 01:13:43.250
because they can't sing that high anymore. The

01:13:43.250 --> 01:13:46.210
hard parts are rewritten and rearranged where

01:13:46.210 --> 01:13:48.590
the song doesn't even sound like it used to because

01:13:48.590 --> 01:13:52.829
the singer can't sing that anymore. Or they hand

01:13:52.829 --> 01:13:55.390
off the vocals to the backing vocals, which will

01:13:55.390 --> 01:13:58.189
drown out the singer so you can't tell they're

01:13:58.189 --> 01:14:00.510
not hitting the note. Or the singer will just

01:14:00.510 --> 01:14:03.069
hold the microphone out to the crowd. That's

01:14:03.069 --> 01:14:05.710
something Vince Neil does about half the time.

01:14:05.729 --> 01:14:08.170
It drives me fucking nuts. It's because he can't

01:14:08.170 --> 01:14:10.310
sing and he's out of breath and he's tired. Well,

01:14:10.310 --> 01:14:12.689
the problem is I figured it out. And you tell

01:14:12.689 --> 01:14:15.470
me if you think I'm wrong, okay? Vince Neil wants

01:14:15.470 --> 01:14:18.630
to act like his fatness is not impeding on him.

01:14:18.649 --> 01:14:21.810
So he runs as fast as he can on stage. Yeah.

01:14:21.909 --> 01:14:24.409
But he can't sing when he does that. If he stood

01:14:24.409 --> 01:14:26.670
still, he'd be able to sing quite a bit better.

01:14:26.869 --> 01:14:29.949
Yeah. It doesn't look well for him. Number one,

01:14:29.970 --> 01:14:32.529
he's tubby and he's running in leather pants.

01:14:32.989 --> 01:14:35.670
Not a good look. Number two, when he does that,

01:14:35.710 --> 01:14:38.130
he sticks a microphone out and doesn't do anything.

01:14:38.449 --> 01:14:41.850
Yeah. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Another thing that

01:14:41.850 --> 01:14:43.949
they'll do is they'll do talk singing, where

01:14:43.949 --> 01:14:45.489
they don't sing the notes anymore. They just

01:14:45.489 --> 01:14:48.829
kind of talk the line. Bon Jovi's doing a shit

01:14:48.829 --> 01:14:51.029
ton of that. He's done a shit ton of that. I'll

01:14:51.029 --> 01:14:52.449
tell you another one that's doing it, but he

01:14:52.449 --> 01:14:54.770
has a really, really good excuse. It's Ian Gillen.

01:14:54.770 --> 01:14:57.510
He's 82. Yeah. Yeah, in fact, Dee Purple's on

01:14:57.510 --> 01:15:04.850
this list. Oh, okay. Yeah. Except Ian Pace. Yeah,

01:15:04.850 --> 01:15:06.529
that's true. Ian Pace could definitely still

01:15:06.529 --> 01:15:10.430
be his fan. I can't believe it, yeah. Now, a

01:15:10.430 --> 01:15:12.750
lot of these tours will also manage the energy.

01:15:13.329 --> 01:15:16.449
It's like Vince Neil running around on the stage.

01:15:16.489 --> 01:15:19.470
He'll only do that every few minutes. Yeah. And

01:15:19.470 --> 01:15:22.170
they'll have a slow song. And then they'll have

01:15:22.170 --> 01:15:24.770
a fast song and then three more slow songs because

01:15:24.770 --> 01:15:30.770
they can't maintain the energy level. They have

01:15:30.770 --> 01:15:34.489
lots of visual distraction on stage. Like 15

01:15:34.489 --> 01:15:37.369
people dancing around with costumes and lights

01:15:37.369 --> 01:15:39.890
going off and smoke and pyrotechnics. It's like

01:15:39.890 --> 01:15:41.970
do everything but look and pay attention to the

01:15:41.970 --> 01:15:45.310
singer because they can't hack it anymore. They'll

01:15:45.310 --> 01:15:48.220
use backing tracks. They'll do unplugged versions,

01:15:48.420 --> 01:15:51.340
which gives an excuse to sing low and soft and

01:15:51.340 --> 01:15:55.960
easy. Or they'll do non -vocal versions or medleys.

01:15:55.979 --> 01:15:57.460
Now, this is something Alice Cooper's been doing

01:15:57.460 --> 01:16:00.659
for years. He'll take, like, five of his best

01:16:00.659 --> 01:16:04.140
songs, and he'll have the band do an instrumental

01:16:04.140 --> 01:16:07.380
medley of them while he goes offstage. and takes

01:16:07.380 --> 01:16:09.880
a rest, gets to drink water, pees, maybe gets

01:16:09.880 --> 01:16:12.279
an IV, I don't know. But he's taking it easy.

01:16:12.340 --> 01:16:14.920
He's taking an extra long break while nobody

01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:16.979
is singing and Alice isn't even on the stage

01:16:16.979 --> 01:16:19.720
for about 10 minutes. It's because he's old and

01:16:19.720 --> 01:16:22.000
he's tired. The one person that didn't ever do

01:16:22.000 --> 01:16:25.199
that in his latter years was Ozzy. This is pre

01:16:25.199 --> 01:16:29.659
-2020, pre -late 2019. He never did medleys.

01:16:29.659 --> 01:16:31.939
He always did the whole song and that was smart

01:16:31.939 --> 01:16:34.319
of him because people didn't want a medley. No.

01:16:34.909 --> 01:16:37.510
No, I've always disliked the medley. Well, even

01:16:37.510 --> 01:16:40.050
Dio did a lot of medleys with Sabbath in on his

01:16:40.050 --> 01:16:43.810
own, and I never did like him. Yeah. No. Next

01:16:43.810 --> 01:16:47.289
up, we have Leonard Skinner. No original members

01:16:47.289 --> 01:16:50.590
left. Duh. It's a tribute band. I know. That's

01:16:50.590 --> 01:16:53.610
all it is, and people go and spend... ridiculous

01:16:53.610 --> 01:16:55.750
amounts of money thinking they're seeing Lynyrd

01:16:55.750 --> 01:16:58.329
Skynyrd and the sing -along is like, yay, just

01:16:58.329 --> 01:17:01.229
like my youth. No, this is a tribute band. Rob

01:17:01.229 --> 01:17:03.590
wants to go see them, and I warned him. I said,

01:17:03.630 --> 01:17:05.289
this is a tribute band. He said, no, I just want

01:17:05.289 --> 01:17:06.890
to go see them so I can tell people I've seen

01:17:06.890 --> 01:17:10.229
them. It's the name. So there's value in that,

01:17:10.270 --> 01:17:13.550
I guess. I'm not one of those guys. But, you

01:17:13.550 --> 01:17:16.029
know, that's... And so much of this just looks

01:17:16.029 --> 01:17:18.210
so much like a cash grab. It's like everybody

01:17:18.210 --> 01:17:21.210
associated with these tours knows that they can't

01:17:21.210 --> 01:17:23.649
hack it anymore. Dave Lee Roth is a cash grab.

01:17:23.770 --> 01:17:26.670
But they know that the fans are so nostalgic

01:17:26.670 --> 01:17:29.550
and such suckers for I want to feel good, I want

01:17:29.550 --> 01:17:32.789
to recapture my youth. They'll go watch an opossum

01:17:32.789 --> 01:17:35.649
taking a diuretic dump, if it sounds like this

01:17:35.649 --> 01:17:41.000
thing. Look, I mean... I think that David Lee

01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:44.399
Roth knows it, but when he saw all these other

01:17:44.399 --> 01:17:45.920
bands that couldn't do it anymore, he's like,

01:17:45.979 --> 01:17:48.100
because he did retire because he couldn't do

01:17:48.100 --> 01:17:50.560
it anymore. I think now he's just like going,

01:17:50.640 --> 01:17:52.920
if people are going to buy the tickets, I don't

01:17:52.920 --> 01:17:55.500
give a shit. Alex Lifeson of Rush retired because

01:17:55.500 --> 01:17:57.220
he couldn't do it anymore. I'll just say he's

01:17:57.220 --> 01:17:59.600
back. Yeah, he got dead babies inserted. I don't

01:17:59.600 --> 01:18:01.880
know. Allegedly, possibly, maybe, who knows.

01:18:03.140 --> 01:18:07.279
Paul McCartney. Oh, yeah. His voice is gone.

01:18:08.450 --> 01:18:12.189
Absolutely gone. He cannot sing even a little

01:18:12.189 --> 01:18:14.369
bit anymore. It fucking hurts me to hear it.

01:18:15.729 --> 01:18:18.350
That's how it sounds. That's exactly how it sounds.

01:18:18.369 --> 01:18:20.069
He sounds like Yoko. It's ridiculous. He does.

01:18:20.229 --> 01:18:23.090
He sounds worse than Yoko. He has no power, no

01:18:23.090 --> 01:18:26.909
range. He can't hit any notes. He kind of barks

01:18:26.909 --> 01:18:29.350
and warbles and talks his way through. Father

01:18:29.350 --> 01:18:31.649
Time took a baseball bat in his voice. Yeah.

01:18:31.770 --> 01:18:35.390
Yeah. I mean, check out the Saturday Night Live

01:18:35.390 --> 01:18:38.180
50th Anniversary Show. And look at his performance

01:18:38.180 --> 01:18:40.560
there. Is that where I saw him? It's sickening.

01:18:40.600 --> 01:18:42.939
I think that's what I'm referring to. Yeah, it's

01:18:42.939 --> 01:18:46.720
like, who the hell is so corrupt inside that

01:18:46.720 --> 01:18:49.000
they're willing to put this poor sick old man

01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:52.060
on stage and make money off of him? That's just

01:18:52.060 --> 01:18:54.720
sick. That would be NBC. That would be NBC, yeah.

01:18:55.539 --> 01:18:58.899
Paul McCartney is so stubborn that he says, I'm

01:18:58.899 --> 01:19:00.560
never retiring, I'm always going to do this.

01:19:00.619 --> 01:19:04.470
Like, time to hide his shoes, you know? Hide

01:19:04.470 --> 01:19:06.689
his clothes so he can't get on stage. The guy

01:19:06.689 --> 01:19:10.329
is just, yeah. Yeah. I have zero respect left

01:19:10.329 --> 01:19:14.470
for Paul McCartney because he's just this disgusting

01:19:14.470 --> 01:19:19.810
creature. Yeah, I agree. All right, next up we

01:19:19.810 --> 01:19:23.810
have Deep Purple. And for them, they mostly focused

01:19:23.810 --> 01:19:28.289
on Ian Gillian. He can't hit the notes. He can't

01:19:28.289 --> 01:19:30.560
do anything with the power. For some reason,

01:19:30.600 --> 01:19:33.239
they mentioned that he's, like, only has 30 %

01:19:33.239 --> 01:19:35.500
of his vision left. I don't know how that would

01:19:35.500 --> 01:19:39.399
affect anything performance -wise, but... Well,

01:19:39.460 --> 01:19:42.060
he's going to stand there anyhow. He's 82. Yeah,

01:19:42.140 --> 01:19:45.680
yeah. Okay, well, all right. There is a possibility

01:19:45.680 --> 01:19:48.760
he's damaging his legacy by, you know, is this

01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:50.619
what you want people to remember? Well, I don't

01:19:50.619 --> 01:19:52.819
think they're popular enough now for him to damage

01:19:52.819 --> 01:19:55.359
his legacy. This is true. This is true. I mean...

01:19:56.189 --> 01:19:58.210
When I went to the Uptown Theater, it was bad

01:19:58.210 --> 01:20:00.149
enough in St. Louis with all the older people

01:20:00.149 --> 01:20:02.590
there, right? Yeah. You know, the walkers and

01:20:02.590 --> 01:20:04.529
all that. But when I saw them a couple of years

01:20:04.529 --> 01:20:06.810
later, this is like, I don't know, 2019, I believe,

01:20:06.909 --> 01:20:10.829
and saw all the wheelchairs and the walkers and

01:20:10.829 --> 01:20:14.640
the oxygen tanks, I was like going... Yeah, yeah.

01:20:14.779 --> 01:20:16.619
The majority of the people that knew what they

01:20:16.619 --> 01:20:18.899
were like in their heyday are dead or dying.

01:20:19.159 --> 01:20:21.460
Yeah, yeah. So now they can reinvent themselves

01:20:21.460 --> 01:20:23.560
as whatever they want. Yeah, I don't think he's

01:20:23.560 --> 01:20:25.539
damaging his legacy because all those people

01:20:25.539 --> 01:20:27.939
are either dead or on their way there. Good point,

01:20:28.060 --> 01:20:30.579
good point. But anyhow, nevertheless, I need

01:20:30.579 --> 01:20:35.140
to stop. Next up, Metallica. Their new material

01:20:35.140 --> 01:20:39.180
is weak. Songwriting -wise, intensity -wise,

01:20:39.539 --> 01:20:42.930
it's just weak. Oh, it's horrible. It's horrible.

01:20:43.090 --> 01:20:45.649
Hetfield used to have that big, powerful roar

01:20:45.649 --> 01:20:49.470
of a voice. It's nothing. It's nothing anymore.

01:20:49.649 --> 01:20:53.430
It's a shadow of what it used to be. They distort

01:20:53.430 --> 01:20:58.590
their legacy 100%. Yeah. 100%. 100%. Yeah. Every

01:20:58.590 --> 01:21:02.310
time Lars posts a video online of his live drumming,

01:21:02.329 --> 01:21:05.189
he gets relentlessly roasted by the drumming

01:21:05.189 --> 01:21:08.649
community. Because he never was that good. No,

01:21:08.649 --> 01:21:11.649
no. It was... It was always PR. I mean, they

01:21:11.649 --> 01:21:14.130
built up a reputation. I remember hearing so

01:21:14.130 --> 01:21:16.189
many people saying, oh, he's the greatest drummer

01:21:16.189 --> 01:21:18.590
in heavy metal, greatest drummer in hard rock.

01:21:18.770 --> 01:21:21.310
He's just awesome. He's the drumming god. That

01:21:21.310 --> 01:21:24.229
was PR. That was like Dallas calling themselves

01:21:24.229 --> 01:21:26.909
America's team. Yeah. Just because they made

01:21:26.909 --> 01:21:29.109
it up and said it didn't mean it's true. Yeah.

01:21:30.350 --> 01:21:35.289
Back in mid-'90s, Metallica was touring with

01:21:35.289 --> 01:21:38.569
Dream Theater opening. Mm -hmm. And I went to

01:21:38.569 --> 01:21:41.210
see the drummer, Mike Portnoy, in the drum clinic.

01:21:41.310 --> 01:21:43.869
I love him, and he's back. He is back. He's awesome.

01:21:44.489 --> 01:21:46.989
But after the clinic, I got a chance to talk

01:21:46.989 --> 01:21:50.890
with him. And he was saying during the tour with

01:21:50.890 --> 01:21:55.229
Metallica, they had the drummer backstage doing

01:21:55.229 --> 01:21:57.930
Lars' double kick parts because Lars couldn't

01:21:57.930 --> 01:22:00.149
do it. He didn't have the power, didn't have

01:22:00.149 --> 01:22:03.369
the timing, he didn't have the energy. He just

01:22:03.369 --> 01:22:06.710
couldn't do it. So they roasted him mercilessly.

01:22:07.229 --> 01:22:10.010
on that whole tour about needing a backup drummer

01:22:10.010 --> 01:22:13.430
backstage to cover his ass. And so they never

01:22:13.430 --> 01:22:15.529
really thought he was anything special. And it

01:22:15.529 --> 01:22:18.510
was funny to see the Metallica fans in the audience

01:22:18.510 --> 01:22:22.409
going, I'm having to think about it. Well, Metallica

01:22:22.409 --> 01:22:24.649
shoved away the real fans and bought a bunch

01:22:24.649 --> 01:22:29.789
of posers. Yes, they did. Yeah. Somebody convinced

01:22:29.789 --> 01:22:33.029
Metallica, here's how you can make the most money

01:22:33.029 --> 01:22:35.670
in the short term. And they said, sign us up.

01:22:35.789 --> 01:22:38.680
Yeah. Well, it started in the 90s when they did

01:22:38.680 --> 01:22:41.680
the Alternica version of Metallica. And they

01:22:41.680 --> 01:22:47.159
never recovered from that. Never. The Who. I

01:22:47.159 --> 01:22:49.619
think they have actually quit. Roger Daltrey

01:22:49.619 --> 01:22:53.340
is a weak, old, whiny, insecure creep who blames

01:22:53.340 --> 01:22:55.859
everyone else for his own mistakes and gets bandmates

01:22:55.859 --> 01:22:58.640
fired for his own mistakes. For his own mistakes,

01:22:58.939 --> 01:23:01.539
yeah. He has no voice left, no stage presence.

01:23:02.380 --> 01:23:08.029
He's publicly... secured his place as a whiny

01:23:08.029 --> 01:23:14.229
little crybaby. Yep. Ugh. Yeah. And even Pete

01:23:14.229 --> 01:23:16.069
Townsend has come out saying, you know, I don't

01:23:16.069 --> 01:23:19.369
enjoy these Who tours. They're a struggle. It's

01:23:19.369 --> 01:23:21.590
work to get through it. I don't enjoy it, and

01:23:21.590 --> 01:23:23.649
I don't like it. When he was trying, he was wanting

01:23:23.649 --> 01:23:25.569
to do another album to stay active, and then

01:23:25.569 --> 01:23:27.810
after Roger Daltrey pulled all his shit, he was

01:23:27.810 --> 01:23:30.489
like, I think I'm going to retire. Yep. I'm all

01:23:30.489 --> 01:23:36.699
done. Yeah. Up next, the Eagles. Insane ticket

01:23:36.699 --> 01:23:39.920
prices. Fuck them. Don Henley's the only one

01:23:39.920 --> 01:23:42.260
left in the band. And he sucks. And it's just

01:23:42.260 --> 01:23:46.020
a cash grab. Yep. All of the vocals and most

01:23:46.020 --> 01:23:52.279
of the instruments are pre -recorded. And I watched

01:23:52.279 --> 01:23:55.600
a guy do an audio analysis of a number of Eagles

01:23:55.600 --> 01:23:59.140
concerts. And he did music, he did guitar solos,

01:23:59.140 --> 01:24:03.579
and he did vocals. And he took... I think three

01:24:03.579 --> 01:24:06.460
examples of the song Seven Bridges Road with

01:24:06.460 --> 01:24:10.060
all those harmonies in it. And he isolated out

01:24:10.060 --> 01:24:12.779
the vocals. This is from this date in this town.

01:24:12.899 --> 01:24:15.180
This is from two years previous in this town.

01:24:15.239 --> 01:24:17.180
And this is from a year before that in this town.

01:24:17.420 --> 01:24:20.060
And he plotted the audio spectrum. They were

01:24:20.060 --> 01:24:24.260
identical. Which means they were pre -recorded.

01:24:24.260 --> 01:24:26.279
Yes, they were just playing the same tape over

01:24:26.279 --> 01:24:27.880
and over. Because it's not physically possible

01:24:27.880 --> 01:24:31.579
for any human, let alone a group of humans. to

01:24:31.579 --> 01:24:34.619
perfectly reproduce what they did before over

01:24:34.619 --> 01:24:37.640
and over in a live setting. Can't happen. Same

01:24:37.640 --> 01:24:41.060
with the guitar solos. Note for note, pause for

01:24:41.060 --> 01:24:44.640
pause, timing exactly the same guitar solo that

01:24:44.640 --> 01:24:48.039
has been used in a hundred other shows. Everything

01:24:48.039 --> 01:24:50.140
is pre -recorded. They just get up there and

01:24:50.140 --> 01:24:51.979
fake their way through, and people are paying

01:24:51.979 --> 01:24:54.699
$1 ,000 a seat for that shit. It's not that I

01:24:54.699 --> 01:24:56.399
don't believe they're doing this. It's the fact

01:24:56.399 --> 01:25:01.119
that they sell out. Yeah. Their fans are suckers

01:25:01.119 --> 01:25:06.460
and morons and fools. It's disgusting. A bunch

01:25:06.460 --> 01:25:09.500
of fucking rubes that just enjoy getting fucking

01:25:09.500 --> 01:25:13.479
pleased. Now, my wife is a big Eagles fan. So

01:25:13.479 --> 01:25:16.279
we hear Eagles a lot around my house. But I just

01:25:16.279 --> 01:25:18.979
don't like them anymore because... They're creeps.

01:25:18.979 --> 01:25:20.920
I hear their music and don't like it either.

01:25:21.000 --> 01:25:23.579
I'm like, nah, I don't like them. It's like that

01:25:23.579 --> 01:25:26.399
song by Gary Glitter, Rock and Roll Part 2. I

01:25:26.399 --> 01:25:29.640
can't listen to that either. I was never a fan

01:25:29.640 --> 01:25:31.359
of that song, but if I was, I wouldn't listen

01:25:31.359 --> 01:25:33.079
to it now because the guy's a fucking creep.

01:25:33.239 --> 01:25:36.699
Now that I know that he's a completely unrepentant

01:25:36.699 --> 01:25:39.319
child molester and he's been convicted numerous

01:25:39.319 --> 01:25:42.659
times and always claims... Unapologetic. Unapologetic.

01:25:43.140 --> 01:25:46.069
Doesn't care. Doesn't care. He's been kicked

01:25:46.069 --> 01:25:48.310
out of numerous countries and banned from ever

01:25:48.310 --> 01:25:50.310
returning because he wants to come over and rape

01:25:50.310 --> 01:25:52.689
their children. Yes. I don't want to hear his

01:25:52.689 --> 01:25:54.789
song. Isn't he in jail in Vietnam or something

01:25:54.789 --> 01:25:58.590
right now? Britain. Britain. Yeah, he's British.

01:25:58.770 --> 01:26:03.630
And the last thing, he was set free again and

01:26:03.630 --> 01:26:06.390
after many, many years was allowed to have a

01:26:06.390 --> 01:26:09.010
cell phone on the condition that it was regularly

01:26:09.010 --> 01:26:12.029
checked and monitored. And it wasn't a week before

01:26:12.029 --> 01:26:15.020
he had child porn on his telephone. Yeah. And

01:26:15.020 --> 01:26:16.899
then he claimed, oh, I don't know how that got

01:26:16.899 --> 01:26:19.340
there. That's not my fault. I didn't do it. And

01:26:19.340 --> 01:26:22.439
then they threw his ass back in jail. But I went

01:26:22.439 --> 01:26:24.399
to a wedding a couple years ago where they played

01:26:24.399 --> 01:26:26.399
that song at the wedding reception, and I thought,

01:26:26.439 --> 01:26:30.119
are you people insane? This guy is an unrepentant,

01:26:30.119 --> 01:26:32.340
unapologetic pedophile, and you're listening

01:26:32.340 --> 01:26:37.779
to his music? Okay. Your choice, I guess. Anyway,

01:26:38.619 --> 01:26:43.250
Iron Maiden. It was amid the list. Bruce can't

01:26:43.250 --> 01:26:45.850
sing very high anymore. He can't sing very long.

01:26:46.010 --> 01:26:48.689
He talks through a lot of his lyrics. I didn't

01:26:48.689 --> 01:26:52.029
know that. Audiences have commented on how exhausted

01:26:52.029 --> 01:26:54.930
he looks from the beginning of the show onward.

01:26:54.930 --> 01:26:57.909
He just looks exhausted. Struggling to get through

01:26:57.909 --> 01:27:01.170
the show. And the fact that Nico McBrain is gone.

01:27:01.989 --> 01:27:06.130
It just don't sound the same. And a lot of Iron

01:27:06.130 --> 01:27:09.689
Maiden fans are like, the combination of no Nico.

01:27:11.050 --> 01:27:13.529
And Bruce can't sing the way he used to. It's

01:27:13.529 --> 01:27:17.909
just not the same thundering thing anymore. Yeah.

01:27:17.970 --> 01:27:20.869
It's just kind of a shadow of what it used to

01:27:20.869 --> 01:27:24.109
be. Yeah. You know, that sucks because the last

01:27:24.109 --> 01:27:26.489
time I saw him, it was spoken word, so he didn't

01:27:26.489 --> 01:27:30.029
sing. Yeah. And it was so good. I just hate to

01:27:30.029 --> 01:27:32.010
think that Bruce Dickinson is one of them now

01:27:32.010 --> 01:27:34.229
that are still trying to keep it going when it's

01:27:34.229 --> 01:27:36.149
not possible. I know. It makes you wonder, do

01:27:36.149 --> 01:27:37.930
they have obligations where they really can't

01:27:37.930 --> 01:27:39.590
get out of this and they have to pretend that

01:27:39.590 --> 01:27:46.949
they're on board? I think it's the denial of

01:27:46.949 --> 01:27:51.329
your own mortality. I can keep doing this. No

01:27:51.329 --> 01:27:54.170
big deal. I didn't age that much. Look at me.

01:27:54.189 --> 01:27:59.220
I look young. I'm putting Alice Cooper on this

01:27:59.220 --> 01:28:02.640
list as well. Unfortunately. He can still sing

01:28:02.640 --> 01:28:05.880
about as well as he used to because he never

01:28:05.880 --> 01:28:09.979
was all that great of a singer anyway. But the

01:28:09.979 --> 01:28:13.939
thing that I'm really tired of is all the shows

01:28:13.939 --> 01:28:17.359
are identical anymore. Back when we saw him in

01:28:17.359 --> 01:28:20.439
St. Louis, he threw in a couple of songs from

01:28:20.439 --> 01:28:22.359
his past catalog that I'd never heard him play

01:28:22.359 --> 01:28:24.100
live before. I was like, oh, that's pretty cool.

01:28:24.220 --> 01:28:27.590
Never heard Halo of Flies before. But anymore,

01:28:27.770 --> 01:28:30.130
he's dropped all that. Now it's just the same

01:28:30.130 --> 01:28:32.989
tired set list that he's been using for a long,

01:28:33.149 --> 01:28:36.909
long time. You know, I'm 18, feed my Frankenstein,

01:28:37.029 --> 01:28:45.090
poison, and just on and on and on. And the medleys

01:28:45.090 --> 01:28:48.050
kill Alice Cooper. Yeah, as I said before, they

01:28:48.050 --> 01:28:50.689
do the medley while he leaves the stage and goes

01:28:50.689 --> 01:28:54.029
take a rest somewhere. And it's the same band

01:28:54.029 --> 01:28:56.600
members. on his touring band. They play exactly

01:28:56.600 --> 01:28:58.800
the same way. The stage show is pretty much almost

01:28:58.800 --> 01:29:01.060
the same for a version that I've seen before.

01:29:01.539 --> 01:29:04.020
The encores are the same. It's like, I've seen

01:29:04.020 --> 01:29:07.279
this concert a dozen times already. I want something

01:29:07.279 --> 01:29:09.699
new. I want something different. It's just the

01:29:09.699 --> 01:29:13.180
same. It's just over and over and over. Supposedly,

01:29:13.180 --> 01:29:17.520
he's doing a farewell tour. So, if that is different

01:29:17.520 --> 01:29:19.340
and noticeably different and a whole different

01:29:19.340 --> 01:29:23.720
song list and set list and stuff... You're right.

01:29:23.739 --> 01:29:27.020
He was going out with somebody. It was something

01:29:27.020 --> 01:29:30.659
like David Copperfield, but it's not. Chris Angel.

01:29:30.800 --> 01:29:34.060
Chris Angel. Yeah. I don't hear anything about

01:29:34.060 --> 01:29:35.779
those shows anymore. I think that was a limited

01:29:35.779 --> 01:29:37.859
run and it's done. And it's done. I think so.

01:29:38.899 --> 01:29:42.199
But yeah, I'm not going to go see Alice again.

01:29:43.000 --> 01:29:46.880
I don't have a reason to. No. I mean, if he goes

01:29:46.880 --> 01:29:49.539
on tour... And there were reviews of his show

01:29:49.539 --> 01:29:51.539
saying, yes, this is totally different. He's

01:29:51.539 --> 01:29:53.939
revamped. He's gone back to the beginning. Then

01:29:53.939 --> 01:29:55.539
I'll think about it. Then I'll try it. But if

01:29:55.539 --> 01:29:57.159
it's the same thing I've already seen a bunch

01:29:57.159 --> 01:29:59.100
of times, I don't need it. I'm done with the

01:29:59.100 --> 01:30:01.060
bullshit concert industry and them stealing my

01:30:01.060 --> 01:30:03.600
money constantly. Fuck them. I'm so sick of them.

01:30:03.760 --> 01:30:05.760
The government needs to get involved in that

01:30:05.760 --> 01:30:07.600
and make sure that these pieces of shit give

01:30:07.600 --> 01:30:09.840
you your money back instead of credit. I'm fucking

01:30:09.840 --> 01:30:12.239
sick of it. The Glenn Hughes tour canceled before

01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:15.680
it even started. Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

01:30:15.899 --> 01:30:17.779
Yeah, and then the lying to people that it was

01:30:17.779 --> 01:30:19.539
a health issue and it was because they didn't

01:30:19.539 --> 01:30:20.479
sell enough. They didn't sell enough tickets.

01:30:20.500 --> 01:30:22.680
Not enough pre -sales. If they don't get enough

01:30:22.680 --> 01:30:24.979
pre -sale, then they have to borrow money to

01:30:24.979 --> 01:30:26.060
go on tour and they don't want to do that. They're

01:30:26.060 --> 01:30:28.140
not going to do that. They'd rather borrow our

01:30:28.140 --> 01:30:30.800
money. I want to say fuck every one of them.

01:30:30.800 --> 01:30:32.760
I'm tired of them. They're musicians and everything

01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:34.880
because they're in on it too. Fuck every one

01:30:34.880 --> 01:30:36.779
of them. They may have a great talent. I might

01:30:36.779 --> 01:30:38.340
love what they do, but I think personally they're

01:30:38.340 --> 01:30:41.159
all pieces of shit. No kidding. So, anyhow. It's

01:30:41.159 --> 01:30:44.460
their choice to be part of this. Now this racket.

01:30:44.800 --> 01:30:46.899
Yeah, I was the hugest Glenn Hughes fan. Now

01:30:46.899 --> 01:30:53.439
I don't fucking like him. Twisted Sister. They

01:30:53.439 --> 01:30:56.539
already did the farewell tour. Did the whole

01:30:56.539 --> 01:30:59.460
farewell, we're done, bye thing. And now they're

01:30:59.460 --> 01:31:02.239
back. The drummer's gone. Yeah. And now it's

01:31:02.239 --> 01:31:04.479
like Dee Snider and whoever. AJ Perro or something

01:31:04.479 --> 01:31:06.479
like that was the drummer. Was that it? AJ Perro.

01:31:06.539 --> 01:31:08.539
Sounds right. And then I think the bassist passed

01:31:08.539 --> 01:31:12.779
away. Yeah. So this is the Dee Snider cash grab.

01:31:13.039 --> 01:31:15.779
I mean, he can still sort of sing like he used

01:31:15.779 --> 01:31:18.079
to and still kind of do the stuff. But for him,

01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:20.920
it never was singing. It was his crazy stage

01:31:20.920 --> 01:31:23.779
presence. Yes, and the wild makeup and the bizarre.

01:31:24.039 --> 01:31:26.720
It's like a very ugly man wearing girls' makeup.

01:31:26.720 --> 01:31:29.380
He looked like a zombie hooker. Yeah, definitely

01:31:29.380 --> 01:31:33.159
a zombie hooker. I mean, he's a smart guy. He's

01:31:33.159 --> 01:31:34.960
an interesting guy. Oh, I love the guy. Especially

01:31:34.960 --> 01:31:38.340
the PMRC stuff. Yeah. But he's ugly as a box

01:31:38.340 --> 01:31:41.140
of boiled shit. Yeah. But he was so cool tearing

01:31:41.140 --> 01:31:43.699
up the idiots. Of course, so am I. Same here.

01:31:44.119 --> 01:31:46.619
He was so cool tearing up the fucking idiots

01:31:46.619 --> 01:31:50.640
at the PMRC. Tipper Gore. Yeah, he was one of

01:31:50.640 --> 01:31:54.600
the... Yeah, Al Gore's wife. Allegedly. He was

01:31:54.600 --> 01:32:02.039
one of the... Yeah, allegedly. So... Anyhow,

01:32:02.199 --> 01:32:05.760
he, what was I going to say? Oh, he was one of

01:32:05.760 --> 01:32:07.880
the musicians, he was one of the entertainers

01:32:07.880 --> 01:32:10.760
that tore them up and they didn't even understand

01:32:10.760 --> 01:32:13.760
how bad he tore them up. Yes, they were really

01:32:13.760 --> 01:32:16.000
expecting all these rock and rollers to be idiots

01:32:16.000 --> 01:32:18.140
and mouth breathers. The only idiots on that

01:32:18.140 --> 01:32:21.159
was them. They were like twice as smart and twice

01:32:21.159 --> 01:32:24.460
as prepared as all these supposed experts on

01:32:24.460 --> 01:32:27.460
the panel or committee. And they thought, oh,

01:32:27.579 --> 01:32:29.199
we're just going to run roughshod over these

01:32:29.199 --> 01:32:32.539
long hairs. Oh, and how about their asses handed

01:32:32.539 --> 01:32:34.859
to them? John Denver. Yes. Oh, they thought he

01:32:34.859 --> 01:32:37.039
was going to start pointing their bat for them.

01:32:37.479 --> 01:32:40.840
He's like, no, no, no, no, no. Y 'all discriminated

01:32:40.840 --> 01:32:43.159
against my song, too, so I'm on their side, not

01:32:43.159 --> 01:32:45.479
yours. I think he would have been anyhow, but

01:32:45.479 --> 01:32:48.100
still. I mean, because he was a musician, a damn

01:32:48.100 --> 01:32:50.579
good one, and he knows that expressing yourself

01:32:50.579 --> 01:32:53.369
doesn't exactly make everybody happy. Yeah. But

01:32:53.369 --> 01:32:55.609
that's what it's about. The big three, I think,

01:32:55.689 --> 01:32:58.670
were John Denver, because he's so accessible

01:32:58.670 --> 01:33:00.529
and so popular, and everyone thought he was such

01:33:00.529 --> 01:33:03.390
a nice guy, and he was not on their side. Oh,

01:33:03.409 --> 01:33:05.630
he tilted the scale. When he got off of that

01:33:05.630 --> 01:33:08.710
podium, everyone, like, you could see everything

01:33:08.710 --> 01:33:11.970
just deflated over there in the PMRC. But they

01:33:11.970 --> 01:33:13.829
got their revenge on him. John Denver wanted

01:33:13.829 --> 01:33:16.470
to go up in the space shuttle, but because he

01:33:16.470 --> 01:33:18.270
embarrassed and humiliated the committee, they

01:33:18.270 --> 01:33:21.550
black -hauled him from NASA. Really? Yep. Fucking

01:33:21.550 --> 01:33:24.510
dicks. Aren't they? Yeah. But the second person

01:33:24.510 --> 01:33:27.869
was Dee Snider, who's like an everyman but made

01:33:27.869 --> 01:33:31.090
a ton of sense and was very clear and everyone

01:33:31.090 --> 01:33:34.189
got what he was saying. And the third was Frank

01:33:34.189 --> 01:33:38.970
Zappa. Frank Zappa. Who knew every... Hey there,

01:33:39.029 --> 01:33:41.930
slapmets. It's time for the Creeps Music News.

01:33:44.489 --> 01:33:47.069
Hey, my little pumpkin seeds. This is Johnny

01:33:47.069 --> 01:33:50.439
Rohypnol with your music news. The latest news

01:33:50.439 --> 01:33:52.720
from the coroner and the death of Ace Brealey.

01:33:53.000 --> 01:33:56.119
His founding member, lead guitarist, and successful

01:33:56.119 --> 01:34:00.659
solo artist was. Ace had a stroke and led to

01:34:00.659 --> 01:34:03.319
his fall that resulted in a brain bleed and his

01:34:03.319 --> 01:34:06.119
unfortunate passing. We already miss you, Ace.

01:34:06.300 --> 01:34:10.159
Condolences to his family and friends. This is

01:34:10.159 --> 01:34:13.319
Johnny Rohypnol. That was your music news. And

01:34:13.319 --> 01:34:19.530
remember, bar chords are bullshit. Everything.

01:34:19.530 --> 01:34:22.510
And knew everything. And he called them all out

01:34:22.510 --> 01:34:25.590
on lies and misinformation and misrepresentation.

01:34:25.590 --> 01:34:28.109
And no, that's not correct. Here's what's correct.

01:34:28.329 --> 01:34:30.329
And here's how you can tell it's correct. But

01:34:30.329 --> 01:34:32.489
he just embarrassed the snot out of them. But

01:34:32.489 --> 01:34:34.350
he wasn't all that relatable to your average.

01:34:34.810 --> 01:34:37.090
No, no, no. Most people didn't get it. He's an

01:34:37.090 --> 01:34:39.050
intellectual that people didn't think was an

01:34:39.050 --> 01:34:41.189
intellectual. Yeah. I mean, if you listened to

01:34:41.189 --> 01:34:43.670
his music, you would know he was. Yeah. Because

01:34:43.670 --> 01:34:46.529
he wrote the lyrics and obviously there's a lot

01:34:46.529 --> 01:34:48.090
going on in the head. There's a lot of intelligence

01:34:48.090 --> 01:34:50.649
and creativity. Yes. Obviously, yeah. But yeah,

01:34:50.789 --> 01:34:54.850
he loved it. Yeah, I did too. And the thing is,

01:34:54.869 --> 01:34:57.170
is he tore them up so bad that they didn't even

01:34:57.170 --> 01:34:59.270
understand how bad he tore them up, which was

01:34:59.270 --> 01:35:01.149
funny as hell. They had to get their lawyers

01:35:01.149 --> 01:35:03.189
to come back later and review the testimony and

01:35:03.189 --> 01:35:06.430
say, here's exactly how he yanked your pants

01:35:06.430 --> 01:35:08.470
down in front of the world. Yeah, he pantsed

01:35:08.470 --> 01:35:12.289
them. And for that, I always owe gratitude to

01:35:12.289 --> 01:35:15.010
Frank Zappa. Besides that, all the music he influenced.

01:35:15.270 --> 01:35:18.170
I mean, as him himself, you could say that, yeah,

01:35:18.210 --> 01:35:23.020
he was a good... He was a good star and everything,

01:35:23.159 --> 01:35:26.340
you know. He was fairly popular, but he couldn't

01:35:26.340 --> 01:35:29.420
reach much more heights not being so himself.

01:35:29.800 --> 01:35:34.399
Yeah. So, anyhow. Aerosmith, they forced the

01:35:34.399 --> 01:35:36.600
drummer out. They continue to force the drummer

01:35:36.600 --> 01:35:38.159
out every chance they get. They're using backing

01:35:38.159 --> 01:35:40.380
tracks. They have low -energy shows. Who is this?

01:35:40.699 --> 01:35:43.819
Aerosmith. Oh, Aerosmith, yeah. And despite all

01:35:43.819 --> 01:35:47.479
the talk to the contrary, Steven Tyler's voice

01:35:47.479 --> 01:35:50.130
is not anything like it used to be. They're saying

01:35:50.130 --> 01:35:53.750
it's fine? No. He fractured his larynx, and you

01:35:53.750 --> 01:35:56.170
don't just come back 100 % from that. And also

01:35:56.170 --> 01:35:58.430
his asshole, too, I heard. He fractured his asshole.

01:35:58.430 --> 01:36:00.569
I don't know how that happened allegedly, but

01:36:00.569 --> 01:36:03.609
we're not here to judge. And we talked about

01:36:03.609 --> 01:36:06.909
David Lee Roth. He's just like creep personified.

01:36:07.270 --> 01:36:10.970
That disgusting grin on his face constantly.

01:36:11.800 --> 01:36:14.180
He does this on purpose, I'm almost certain,

01:36:14.279 --> 01:36:16.739
just like Corey Feldman. Yes. Same thing. He's

01:36:16.739 --> 01:36:19.079
trying to creep you out. Yeah. So you keep talking

01:36:19.079 --> 01:36:20.939
about him. Yeah, and he knows that everything

01:36:20.939 --> 01:36:24.199
on YouTube is posted when he acts like he's jerking

01:36:24.199 --> 01:36:26.779
off or when he grabs his ass and almost fingers

01:36:26.779 --> 01:36:29.319
himself. Yeah. All that garbage that he does.

01:36:29.460 --> 01:36:33.899
Watch me check my own oil. Yeah. So everyone

01:36:33.899 --> 01:36:36.779
goes back and goes, look what this guy did. And

01:36:36.779 --> 01:36:38.680
then people go, you know what, I wasn't going

01:36:38.680 --> 01:36:40.319
to go watch it, but I think I want to watch this

01:36:40.319 --> 01:36:42.199
train wreck. Yeah. Makes sense. That could be

01:36:42.199 --> 01:36:45.260
part of it. Yeah, I think so. Or he could just

01:36:45.260 --> 01:36:48.420
be insane. Yeah. Last one I got is Bruce Springsteen.

01:36:48.960 --> 01:36:51.260
Now, again, he looks like Woody Allen on a bad

01:36:51.260 --> 01:36:56.079
day. There's nothing left of his voice. He struggles,

01:36:56.239 --> 01:36:59.159
he screams, he screams, he screws his face up

01:36:59.159 --> 01:37:01.520
into these weird contortions, and he still almost

01:37:01.520 --> 01:37:05.060
barely hits the notes. And these are notes that

01:37:05.060 --> 01:37:07.399
he... could have easily hit, and the high ones,

01:37:07.520 --> 01:37:09.319
the hard ones, he didn't even try. And it's not

01:37:09.319 --> 01:37:11.300
like he's that great of a singer to begin with.

01:37:11.399 --> 01:37:14.619
He's a horrible singer. Yeah. No, me and Rob

01:37:14.619 --> 01:37:17.699
just fucking tore him up on the last podcast,

01:37:17.739 --> 01:37:19.979
the one before this. And the reason is because

01:37:19.979 --> 01:37:22.699
he's supposed to be Mr. America. You know, I

01:37:22.699 --> 01:37:25.539
was in Vietnam. I wore the American bandana in

01:37:25.539 --> 01:37:29.220
my back pocket. You know, son, you know, I went

01:37:29.220 --> 01:37:31.039
to the VA. Man, he said you don't understand.

01:37:31.140 --> 01:37:34.579
All this stuff about loving America. And then

01:37:34.579 --> 01:37:38.319
you got this bitter old man that fucking seemingly

01:37:38.319 --> 01:37:41.479
hates everything about us and won't shut up.

01:37:41.619 --> 01:37:44.340
Yes. You know, the guy, that's the type of guy

01:37:44.340 --> 01:37:46.479
that needs to go away forever. Just shut up.

01:37:46.539 --> 01:37:49.810
Go find something to do. In Argentina. Get the

01:37:49.810 --> 01:37:51.689
fuck out of here. He's letting everyone know

01:37:51.689 --> 01:37:54.369
that he's always been a hypocrite and they've

01:37:54.369 --> 01:37:57.130
always been lying to us about his image. Yes.

01:37:57.550 --> 01:37:59.949
Yeah, that guy had never been what he posed to

01:37:59.949 --> 01:38:04.670
be in my opinion. It's like the poster child

01:38:04.670 --> 01:38:09.550
for destroying your legacy. Oh, yeah, yeah. And

01:38:09.550 --> 01:38:11.829
I'd like to just be able to meet Bruce Springsteen

01:38:11.829 --> 01:38:14.829
one time and go, dude, you're the only one that

01:38:14.829 --> 01:38:17.800
thinks anything of yourself. Yeah. You are your

01:38:17.800 --> 01:38:22.340
biggest fan. Yep. And there's not that many others.

01:38:22.380 --> 01:38:25.579
So maybe you ought to rethink about your, recalibrate

01:38:25.579 --> 01:38:30.220
your life. Yeah. So, anyhow. You got something

01:38:30.220 --> 01:38:32.359
or I got something? So I've got Overlook Singers

01:38:32.359 --> 01:38:34.579
and I've got Overlook Drummers. Let's do the

01:38:34.579 --> 01:38:38.680
Overlook Singers first. Okay. First on my list

01:38:38.680 --> 01:38:41.819
is Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson

01:38:41.819 --> 01:38:44.640
Starship. Okay, people would have to go back.

01:38:44.720 --> 01:38:47.920
This is pre -Gray Slick? No, this is with Gray

01:38:47.920 --> 01:38:51.060
Slick. Was this with Gray Slick? But he was often

01:38:51.060 --> 01:38:52.960
overshadowed by Gray Slick. They pretty much

01:38:52.960 --> 01:38:56.739
had about the same vocal range. So it was really

01:38:56.739 --> 01:38:59.380
tough for them. Was anyone singing Jamie? No,

01:38:59.399 --> 01:39:01.100
that was Mickey Thomas. That was Mickey Thomas.

01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:05.340
Yeah, but he did like Miracles. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:39:05.420 --> 01:39:08.859
Okay, yeah, yeah. Okay, I remember. Yeah, a little

01:39:08.859 --> 01:39:10.920
softer, but he could still hit the high notes.

01:39:11.060 --> 01:39:14.220
It was a crooner's voice almost. Yeah, you know

01:39:14.220 --> 01:39:16.020
what? You're right. That guy was a great singer.

01:39:16.199 --> 01:39:18.319
And me, I always just think of Mickey Thomas.

01:39:18.560 --> 01:39:20.359
I don't think, you know what I mean? But I forgot

01:39:20.359 --> 01:39:23.760
there was people before him. And then Grace Slick

01:39:23.760 --> 01:39:27.260
was so prolific on everything that she did. And

01:39:27.260 --> 01:39:30.939
I think the band learned early that people at

01:39:30.939 --> 01:39:33.460
the live shows would rather see Grace Slick in

01:39:33.460 --> 01:39:37.220
front of the microphone than Marty. Yeah. But

01:39:37.220 --> 01:39:40.239
Marty was the principal songwriter for all the

01:39:40.239 --> 01:39:42.300
early years, all the early albums. I mean, he

01:39:42.300 --> 01:39:45.420
was writing and writing and writing. And they

01:39:45.420 --> 01:39:47.579
eventually just unceremoniously kicked his ass

01:39:47.579 --> 01:39:51.180
out for Mickey Thomas. Wow. And I think the idea

01:39:51.180 --> 01:39:55.159
at the time was Marty wouldn't take a knee in

01:39:55.159 --> 01:39:57.159
front of Grace Lick. So they're like, okay, you're

01:39:57.159 --> 01:39:59.420
out. Mickey, you can join the band if you know

01:39:59.420 --> 01:40:01.380
Grace Lick is your boss. You have to do what

01:40:01.380 --> 01:40:03.420
she tells you. And he was like, all right. And

01:40:03.420 --> 01:40:06.020
he took and tucked his nuts in and said, all

01:40:06.020 --> 01:40:08.039
right, I'll do it. He'd been singing for Elvin

01:40:08.039 --> 01:40:10.560
Bishop, Fooled Around and Fell in Love. Oh, yeah.

01:40:10.600 --> 01:40:12.359
That's Mickey Thomas. I didn't know that, but

01:40:12.359 --> 01:40:16.720
yeah, okay. But, yeah, Marty Balin never got

01:40:16.720 --> 01:40:18.760
the respect he needed. Part of that deal was

01:40:18.760 --> 01:40:21.180
Grace Slick got to carry around his balls in

01:40:21.180 --> 01:40:24.199
her pocket. Helped him hit the high notes. Yes,

01:40:24.199 --> 01:40:25.500
it really did. He didn't have his balls anymore.

01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:30.140
Yes. Jack Bruce, the bass player for Cream. He

01:40:30.140 --> 01:40:32.899
sang lead on Sunshine of Your Love, White Room,

01:40:33.159 --> 01:40:36.680
I Feel Free. Wow. Much better singer than Eric

01:40:36.680 --> 01:40:39.560
Clapton. Oh, God. Much better singer. Yeah, much,

01:40:39.659 --> 01:40:42.800
much better. But he was constantly overshadowed

01:40:42.800 --> 01:40:47.760
by slow hand, I hate immigrants, Eric Clapton.

01:40:47.899 --> 01:40:51.239
Well, I read something. I was really on Eric

01:40:51.239 --> 01:40:53.460
Clapton bad. And, yeah, he did do that. He did

01:40:53.460 --> 01:40:56.020
say that and all that. He's not a very nice person

01:40:56.020 --> 01:41:00.380
to a lot of people. Yeah. Okay. So there was

01:41:00.380 --> 01:41:03.979
a rumor that was like really, really big time

01:41:03.979 --> 01:41:06.520
that he told Ace Frehley at a signing one time

01:41:06.520 --> 01:41:09.819
that he was nothing more. He wasn't a guitar

01:41:09.819 --> 01:41:13.779
player. He was a clown in a circus. That was

01:41:13.779 --> 01:41:17.260
false. No, him and Ace got along really well

01:41:17.260 --> 01:41:19.840
because he was one of Ace's idols. So they were

01:41:19.840 --> 01:41:22.859
trying to stir up controversy. Yeah, but I read

01:41:22.859 --> 01:41:25.420
that and then I did some other searches and it

01:41:25.420 --> 01:41:27.939
said, no, that did not happen. That was just

01:41:27.939 --> 01:41:32.420
someone coming up with that. So he didn't do

01:41:32.420 --> 01:41:34.340
that. He did everything else, but he didn't do

01:41:34.340 --> 01:41:37.880
that. Including George Harrison's wife. Yeah.

01:41:38.680 --> 01:41:43.189
Can't forget that. Burton Cummings from the Guess

01:41:43.189 --> 01:41:46.689
Who. Oh, okay. American Woman, No Sugar Tonight

01:41:46.689 --> 01:41:51.229
in My Coffee, These Eyes, No Time. Yeah. Amazing

01:41:51.229 --> 01:41:56.229
voice. I would agree. And he went solo from the

01:41:56.229 --> 01:41:58.189
Guess Who, and that's when Randy Bachman left

01:41:58.189 --> 01:42:00.010
the band too and Gordon Bachman turned it over,

01:42:00.109 --> 01:42:04.470
right? Yep, BTO. Yep. But Burton Cummings, amazing

01:42:04.470 --> 01:42:08.409
voice. I would agree. The songs that he put out

01:42:08.409 --> 01:42:10.310
kind of changed after he left the Guess Who.

01:42:10.829 --> 01:42:14.369
He became a lot more contemporary adult pop.

01:42:14.689 --> 01:42:18.510
Yeah, he was trying to kind of be like a star.

01:42:18.689 --> 01:42:23.250
Yeah. More of a star than in a system, in a band.

01:42:23.510 --> 01:42:28.930
Yeah. Okay. Brad Delp of Boston. Yes. The super

01:42:28.930 --> 01:42:32.550
high voice. I've always felt that. Yeah. Yeah,

01:42:32.569 --> 01:42:35.510
he was incredible. Yeah, but Boston didn't put

01:42:35.510 --> 01:42:37.689
out albums very often. It was like three years

01:42:37.689 --> 01:42:40.920
between albums. It was a record. dispute. That's

01:42:40.920 --> 01:42:43.300
why they waited 10 years to put out Boston 3.

01:42:43.579 --> 01:42:46.779
And by that time, no one cared about them. They

01:42:46.779 --> 01:42:49.199
had a couple of really good hits on there. Amanda,

01:42:49.340 --> 01:42:52.260
and then what was the other one? Amanda's the

01:42:52.260 --> 01:42:54.420
only one I remember. There's another one too.

01:42:54.479 --> 01:42:56.939
It wasn't quite as big as Amanda, but the thing

01:42:56.939 --> 01:43:00.180
is, they weren't that big of hits because people

01:43:00.180 --> 01:43:02.699
forgot about them. They were doing it to prove

01:43:02.699 --> 01:43:04.239
a point because they were getting fucked over

01:43:04.239 --> 01:43:06.579
by the record company, but it ruined their career.

01:43:07.479 --> 01:43:10.659
And Tom Schultz, who basically created Boston,

01:43:11.039 --> 01:43:14.600
he went to work for Peavey. And so he was making

01:43:14.600 --> 01:43:17.579
tons of money designing amplifiers and coming

01:43:17.579 --> 01:43:20.939
up with stuff for Eddie Van Halen to use. Oh,

01:43:20.960 --> 01:43:24.039
yeah. He was having no trouble at all. All of

01:43:24.039 --> 01:43:26.159
Boston, man, those guys were highly educated

01:43:26.159 --> 01:43:28.399
and business people. They did not need the music

01:43:28.399 --> 01:43:30.180
industry, and that's why they waited 10 years.

01:43:30.260 --> 01:43:33.659
Yeah. I remember when the first album came out,

01:43:33.699 --> 01:43:36.329
it was like, wow, this is amazing. And then their

01:43:36.329 --> 01:43:39.310
second one didn't come out for three years. And

01:43:39.310 --> 01:43:41.449
when it came out, I thought, well, this is still

01:43:41.449 --> 01:43:43.130
good, but it would have been even better two

01:43:43.130 --> 01:43:46.329
years ago. And then it was another ten years,

01:43:46.470 --> 01:43:48.250
and the third album came out, and I thought,

01:43:48.289 --> 01:43:52.229
this just sounds like sad nostalgia now. Yeah,

01:43:52.250 --> 01:43:55.829
and it was. And it was all drum machine. They

01:43:55.829 --> 01:43:58.250
tried to pretend it wasn't, but every track I

01:43:58.250 --> 01:44:01.680
heard on Boston 3 was a drum machine. You know,

01:44:01.720 --> 01:44:03.760
I don't claim to be a good musician at all. As

01:44:03.760 --> 01:44:05.340
a matter of fact, I'm horrible, but you can tell.

01:44:05.619 --> 01:44:13.439
Yeah. Had a sad end to Brad Delvin. Yeah. Oh,

01:44:13.520 --> 01:44:15.859
yeah, yeah, yeah. He killed himself. But you

01:44:15.859 --> 01:44:19.279
don't want to know the best story I got out of

01:44:19.279 --> 01:44:22.020
that was? What? He put signs up everywhere going,

01:44:22.140 --> 01:44:25.199
be careful, carbon monoxide. Yes. He didn't want

01:44:25.199 --> 01:44:26.840
anyone else to die. He didn't want the first

01:44:26.840 --> 01:44:29.380
responders to get hurt. Yeah, it was sad. He

01:44:29.380 --> 01:44:32.079
committed suicide in his apartment, I believe.

01:44:32.380 --> 01:44:37.159
Yeah. Yeah. He was living with his fiancée slash

01:44:37.159 --> 01:44:40.279
girlfriend. Yeah. And they had an argument, and

01:44:40.279 --> 01:44:43.899
she asked him to move out. So he moved in with

01:44:43.899 --> 01:44:47.180
her sister and her husband. Oh, yeah. And was

01:44:47.180 --> 01:44:49.579
staying in their guest room. And then he set

01:44:49.579 --> 01:44:52.439
up cameras so he could watch them having sex

01:44:52.439 --> 01:44:58.779
and got caught. That's okay, okay, okay. And

01:44:58.779 --> 01:45:04.560
so his girlfriend and the sister both said, you

01:45:04.560 --> 01:45:07.819
know, you need to come clean on this and make

01:45:07.819 --> 01:45:11.579
amends, et cetera. And so he did. He apologized

01:45:11.579 --> 01:45:15.140
to them, but then he decided that... professionally

01:45:15.140 --> 01:45:16.659
and personally, he couldn't stand the shame,

01:45:16.859 --> 01:45:19.239
so that's when he decided to delete himself.

01:45:19.520 --> 01:45:23.659
I did not remember this story. I read it afterwards,

01:45:23.819 --> 01:45:25.659
after he killed himself. I didn't know any of

01:45:25.659 --> 01:45:29.699
this went on. I didn't either. But also, he did

01:45:29.699 --> 01:45:32.560
it with charcoal. Yeah, it was like a whole bunch

01:45:32.560 --> 01:45:35.260
of little Weber grills. Yeah, all over his apartment.

01:45:37.220 --> 01:45:39.020
That'll do the trick, let me tell you. Yeah.

01:45:40.310 --> 01:45:42.210
Of course, then Greta Thunberg's going to come

01:45:42.210 --> 01:45:44.109
and yell at him for his carbon emissions. Yes.

01:45:44.869 --> 01:45:47.949
Did you pay your carbon tax? Who are you, you

01:45:47.949 --> 01:45:51.189
little bitch? Little attention whore. Hey, you

01:45:51.189 --> 01:45:52.630
want to boot to the head, you little bitch? Get

01:45:52.630 --> 01:45:56.029
out of here. Here's another one. David Draymond

01:45:56.029 --> 01:45:59.909
of Disturbed. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay.

01:45:59.970 --> 01:46:02.770
Yeah, but he's got much broader range an amazing

01:46:02.770 --> 01:46:05.189
vocal control. Actually. I know that I've heard

01:46:05.189 --> 01:46:08.069
him singing ballads Yeah, you listen to him sing

01:46:08.069 --> 01:46:10.850
the sound of silence. Oh my god. Yeah incredible

01:46:10.850 --> 01:46:14.170
voice Apparently the live version is even better

01:46:14.170 --> 01:46:15.970
than the studio. Yes. He does it better than

01:46:15.970 --> 01:46:21.550
The original band Simon and Garfunkel. Yeah,

01:46:21.710 --> 01:46:24.010
he did it so much better than those guys. Oh

01:46:24.010 --> 01:46:26.750
my gosh I mean because the way he did it he described

01:46:26.750 --> 01:46:29.579
how the person was feeling Not by saying it,

01:46:29.619 --> 01:46:33.800
but by his sound, his voice. It was masterful.

01:46:33.920 --> 01:46:35.640
And after that, I was like, that guy's really

01:46:35.640 --> 01:46:37.720
fucking good. And another one is Phil Anselmo.

01:46:38.060 --> 01:46:41.880
Yes. Yeah. That guy's range is insane. He had

01:46:41.880 --> 01:46:44.579
a beautiful ballad voice. It was deep and rich.

01:46:45.500 --> 01:46:47.680
Yeah. It's just not the kind of music he wanted

01:46:47.680 --> 01:46:51.600
to do. No, no, no, no. He wanted to do much other

01:46:51.600 --> 01:46:55.819
things. But he did well in it, and so did Dave

01:46:55.819 --> 01:47:03.229
Draymond. Oh, okay. I'm just trying to decipher

01:47:03.229 --> 01:47:06.229
my handwriting here. Corey Glover from Living

01:47:06.229 --> 01:47:08.670
Color. Remember the song Cult of Personality?

01:47:08.989 --> 01:47:10.630
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was that the singer? That was

01:47:10.630 --> 01:47:13.909
the singer. Okay. He had a great voice. Amazing.

01:47:13.930 --> 01:47:16.350
I got that album and the second album after that

01:47:16.350 --> 01:47:21.369
called Time's Up. And amazing vocal ability.

01:47:21.689 --> 01:47:23.689
You don't hear it on the radio hits, but you

01:47:23.689 --> 01:47:25.989
listen to the rest of the album. Damn, that guy's

01:47:25.989 --> 01:47:28.369
insane. Even the guitarist. Yeah. The guitarist

01:47:28.369 --> 01:47:30.909
is insane on the scale. Yeah, it was Vernon Reed,

01:47:31.010 --> 01:47:35.529
I think, is the guitar player. Yes. His scale

01:47:35.529 --> 01:47:38.630
is just insane. He would go up and down, back

01:47:38.630 --> 01:47:42.109
and forth. Almost Eddie Van Halen -esque. Yeah.

01:47:42.409 --> 01:47:45.430
Yeah. He never got the credit either. No, no.

01:47:45.470 --> 01:47:46.869
A lot of people looked down on him because he

01:47:46.869 --> 01:47:49.770
used a signal processor like Steve Vai uses.

01:47:49.989 --> 01:47:54.500
Yeah, but still, the talent's there. You can't

01:47:54.500 --> 01:47:57.119
take away the talent because of that. But anyhow.

01:47:57.300 --> 01:48:00.100
The weird thing about Corey Glover is he was

01:48:00.100 --> 01:48:03.640
a minor character in the 1986 Oliver Stone movie,

01:48:03.739 --> 01:48:08.460
Platoon. Yes. He was in there. Corey Glover.

01:48:08.659 --> 01:48:11.140
You learn something every day. Case in point.

01:48:11.319 --> 01:48:14.239
Did you know that crooner Chris Isaac was in

01:48:14.239 --> 01:48:17.140
Silence of the Lambs? No. He was the officer

01:48:17.140 --> 01:48:20.659
in charge of the SWAT team. Fuck. That was Chris

01:48:20.659 --> 01:48:25.989
Isaac. I'll tell you how this happened is the

01:48:25.989 --> 01:48:29.729
producers or an actor, they were fans of those

01:48:29.729 --> 01:48:31.449
people. They probably called him and said, hey,

01:48:31.470 --> 01:48:34.109
you want to do a cameo? Yeah, I imagine so. Go

01:48:34.109 --> 01:48:36.670
out and get your SAG card. Come on over. Oh,

01:48:36.689 --> 01:48:38.729
did you read the cameo thing that the guy's doing?

01:48:39.529 --> 01:48:43.539
He was fooling people. He came up with a fake

01:48:43.539 --> 01:48:46.420
cameo. You know cameo is the one where the stars

01:48:46.420 --> 01:48:48.460
come in and go, and you pay them. And they go,

01:48:48.520 --> 01:48:51.199
hey, I just wanted to wish Mark a happy birthday.

01:48:51.300 --> 01:48:53.500
He's my best friend. I love the guy. I remember

01:48:53.500 --> 01:48:56.000
when we used to rip off people's shoes and put

01:48:56.000 --> 01:48:58.939
shit in it. They would do this, and according

01:48:58.939 --> 01:49:01.279
to how long your message is, is how much they

01:49:01.279 --> 01:49:04.319
charged you. The guy was a really good impersonator,

01:49:04.380 --> 01:49:08.619
and he came up with a fake phone number that

01:49:08.619 --> 01:49:11.270
he answered. And then if he could do that voice,

01:49:11.369 --> 01:49:13.069
he would charge a person to do that voice, but

01:49:13.069 --> 01:49:16.289
it was fake. That's awesome. I know. I was like,

01:49:16.329 --> 01:49:18.890
brilliant. And the thing is, they didn't charge

01:49:18.890 --> 01:49:21.029
him. They did not charge him because of the way

01:49:21.029 --> 01:49:23.489
he worded it. Nice. Because when people were

01:49:23.489 --> 01:49:26.090
buying this, in the fine print, it said, this

01:49:26.090 --> 01:49:28.289
may not be actually who you're faking it. And

01:49:28.289 --> 01:49:31.569
he got away with it. Excellent. Which I'm all

01:49:31.569 --> 01:49:34.729
for. I'm all for that. I think that's great if

01:49:34.729 --> 01:49:38.180
you can do that. Lizzie Hale. The Pale Storm.

01:49:38.319 --> 01:49:42.060
Oh, fuck yeah. She did guest appearances with

01:49:42.060 --> 01:49:44.359
Skid Row in 2024, and she handled their stuff

01:49:44.359 --> 01:49:46.859
just fine. Yes, I loved her in Skid Row, actually.

01:49:47.359 --> 01:49:50.479
She has a super strong, super powerful voice.

01:49:50.699 --> 01:49:53.500
You know, and they had so many lead singers since

01:49:53.500 --> 01:49:56.500
Sebastian Bach. She was the only one that I really,

01:49:56.619 --> 01:49:58.500
really liked. I didn't like Johnny Sollinger,

01:49:58.500 --> 01:50:00.199
and I didn't like the guy before him, and the

01:50:00.199 --> 01:50:02.180
guy before him, and the guy before him, and the

01:50:02.180 --> 01:50:06.109
guy before him. But I liked her in it. And then

01:50:06.109 --> 01:50:07.670
a couple guys before them, I didn't care for

01:50:07.670 --> 01:50:10.930
them either. Here's one out of left field, Peter

01:50:10.930 --> 01:50:15.229
Gabriel. I could see that. He's got, I mean,

01:50:15.250 --> 01:50:19.369
it's not like a classically beautiful voice,

01:50:19.430 --> 01:50:22.989
but he has an immense emotional range. And he

01:50:22.989 --> 01:50:26.670
has the ability to lose control when he's singing.

01:50:27.660 --> 01:50:30.000
Where it doesn't sound bad, it just sounds like

01:50:30.000 --> 01:50:32.739
he's really, really into it. His range in Games

01:50:32.739 --> 01:50:35.779
Without Frontiers is insane. And it's done very

01:50:35.779 --> 01:50:41.479
offhanded. Yeah. You go, damn, so popular. Yeah,

01:50:41.520 --> 01:50:43.300
he's just like tossing off these little lines.

01:50:43.340 --> 01:50:45.340
Yeah, and it's like, wow, that is fucking great.

01:50:45.619 --> 01:50:48.039
Yeah. But it's not long form. Yeah. There's just

01:50:48.039 --> 01:50:49.960
little bits here that he threw in there that

01:50:49.960 --> 01:50:52.140
you can tell there's a lot of underlying talent

01:50:52.140 --> 01:50:54.600
there. I always liked him better than Phil Collins

01:50:54.600 --> 01:50:57.140
anyhow. One of my favorite songs from him is

01:50:57.140 --> 01:51:01.380
My Body is a Cage. And it's long and it's kind

01:51:01.380 --> 01:51:05.319
of orchestral. And the phrasing is odd, so it

01:51:05.319 --> 01:51:07.920
took a lot of talent. And the emotion that he

01:51:07.920 --> 01:51:14.539
puts into his voice is really intense. I've always

01:51:14.539 --> 01:51:17.260
been a big Peter Gabriel fan, though. I've always

01:51:17.260 --> 01:51:19.460
recognized his talent, so I can totally believe

01:51:19.460 --> 01:51:25.899
that. Eric Burton of Animals and War. His song,

01:51:25.939 --> 01:51:29.380
House of the Rising Sun, you look at his face

01:51:29.380 --> 01:51:31.119
and you hear that voice coming out of it and

01:51:31.119 --> 01:51:34.079
you're like, this doesn't make sense. That amazing

01:51:34.079 --> 01:51:36.319
voice coming out of this kind of ordinary looking

01:51:36.319 --> 01:51:39.579
guy, it's something else. But he's got an incredible

01:51:39.579 --> 01:51:41.840
voice. I don't know if he's still alive or not,

01:51:42.000 --> 01:51:44.819
but he had an incredible voice. I don't know,

01:51:44.880 --> 01:51:49.140
but yeah, I would agree with that. Steve Marriott

01:51:49.140 --> 01:51:51.399
from Humble Pie and the Small Faces. Oh yeah,

01:51:51.560 --> 01:51:55.529
another good one. Great voice, great voice. Here's

01:51:55.529 --> 01:51:57.850
one most people haven't heard of. Jimmy Hall.

01:51:58.130 --> 01:52:03.210
He was the singer for Wet Willie. Uncle Willie?

01:52:03.489 --> 01:52:06.010
Yeah, but Wet Willie was kind of soul, funk,

01:52:06.149 --> 01:52:10.590
blues, and southern rock all together. And he

01:52:10.590 --> 01:52:14.270
had a smooth yet rough voice that just fit in

01:52:14.270 --> 01:52:17.060
perfectly with the band. And Wet Willie never

01:52:17.060 --> 01:52:19.439
got big, but they've got some awesome songs.

01:52:19.640 --> 01:52:21.119
If you want to do a little dive on some of their

01:52:21.119 --> 01:52:22.159
albums. I'm going to look at them later, but

01:52:22.159 --> 01:52:23.779
I'm going to see if Uncle Willie's still around.

01:52:23.880 --> 01:52:25.340
Do you remember them? The guy was kind of an

01:52:25.340 --> 01:52:27.760
Alice Cooper ripoff, but, I mean, he was really

01:52:27.760 --> 01:52:29.960
good, though. I wonder if he's still around.

01:52:30.000 --> 01:52:33.439
He's probably dead. He was old back then. Uncle

01:52:33.439 --> 01:52:38.220
Willie Band. Go ahead, anyhow. There's an album

01:52:38.220 --> 01:52:40.819
cover for Wet Willie that shows a naked woman

01:52:40.819 --> 01:52:45.060
spread -eagled. Uncle Willie Band. And there's

01:52:45.060 --> 01:52:47.380
an arm with a boxing glove punching her right

01:52:47.380 --> 01:52:50.359
in the crotch. And that album cover got banned

01:52:50.359 --> 01:52:54.800
in the 70s. They made him cover it up. Okay.

01:52:55.199 --> 01:52:59.079
It is still around. Okay. And he's got a band

01:52:59.079 --> 01:53:04.239
backing him called Taste of Life Band. Okay,

01:53:04.460 --> 01:53:07.600
anyhow, go ahead. Dolores O 'Riordan from the

01:53:07.600 --> 01:53:11.720
Cranberries. Oh, yeah. Incredible. Listen to

01:53:11.720 --> 01:53:15.939
the song Zombie. That song is emotionally very

01:53:15.939 --> 01:53:17.479
impactful. Didn't she end up killing herself?

01:53:17.739 --> 01:53:19.479
She drank herself to death. Drank herself to

01:53:19.479 --> 01:53:21.840
death, that was it. Yeah, no, I've always admired

01:53:21.840 --> 01:53:25.760
her voice. Her voice was so original. I wanted

01:53:25.760 --> 01:53:28.680
to see her go into heavier rock. Yeah, yeah.

01:53:29.060 --> 01:53:31.779
There's so much more I wanted to hear from her,

01:53:31.840 --> 01:53:35.630
but she just could not. Alcohol took over her

01:53:35.630 --> 01:53:37.829
life and basically destroyed her life and her

01:53:37.829 --> 01:53:39.569
career and then eventually killed her. Listen

01:53:39.569 --> 01:53:42.430
to Zombie if you want to know the vocal style

01:53:42.430 --> 01:53:44.350
we're talking about because nothing comes near

01:53:44.350 --> 01:53:49.350
it. You cannot describe it. It's insane. Brian

01:53:49.350 --> 01:53:54.590
Ferry, Roxy Music. Beautiful, smooth, high, clear

01:53:54.590 --> 01:53:57.590
voice. His dad started Ferryland Park. He did.

01:53:57.970 --> 01:54:01.270
75th and Prospect here in Kansas City. Now defunct.

01:54:01.560 --> 01:54:03.520
Yeah, yeah. Now I think it's a landfill or something.

01:54:03.560 --> 01:54:05.579
I remember going there for my ninth birthday,

01:54:05.680 --> 01:54:08.180
and I wanted to ride the Wildcat roller coaster.

01:54:08.319 --> 01:54:11.079
But it was broke. No, I wasn't tall enough. Oh,

01:54:11.079 --> 01:54:13.020
shit. My brother got to ride, but I didn't get

01:54:13.020 --> 01:54:15.720
to ride. Okay, the only time I went there, it

01:54:15.720 --> 01:54:18.439
was broke. Yeah. Oh, I was pissed. Oh, damn.

01:54:18.819 --> 01:54:21.479
But yeah, Brian Ferry's got a very distinctive

01:54:21.479 --> 01:54:28.600
voice, and he uses a lot of dynamics and volume.

01:54:29.310 --> 01:54:32.810
to convey the message is pretty good. Ian Asbury

01:54:32.810 --> 01:54:35.930
of the Colt. Yeah, oh God, yeah. Gorgeous voice,

01:54:36.010 --> 01:54:40.810
amazing power, so unique. Yeah. It'd be nice

01:54:40.810 --> 01:54:43.329
if he could work more, because the Colt doesn't

01:54:43.329 --> 01:54:45.590
get a whole lot of work. No, they don't. So it'd

01:54:45.590 --> 01:54:47.329
be awesome if he could do a bunch of other vocal

01:54:47.329 --> 01:54:49.189
work on other stuff, just so we could hear more

01:54:49.189 --> 01:54:51.970
of him. He did the Broadway of The Doors, and

01:54:51.970 --> 01:54:54.250
he did it really well. He even looked like him.

01:54:54.289 --> 01:54:57.090
I mean, he did a great job. I would agree. Ian

01:54:57.090 --> 01:54:59.229
Asbury has always been one of my favorite singers.

01:54:59.649 --> 01:55:01.770
And the Colt has always been one of the most

01:55:01.770 --> 01:55:04.649
underrated bands in my opinion. Them and April

01:55:04.649 --> 01:55:08.789
Wine and a couple other ones. Mike Patton from

01:55:08.789 --> 01:55:12.170
Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. Like a five octave

01:55:12.170 --> 01:55:16.750
range. He can hit any note he wants to out of

01:55:16.750 --> 01:55:20.670
the blue just flawlessly. But he can also sound

01:55:20.670 --> 01:55:24.539
rough and punk. nasally and weird. He doesn't

01:55:24.539 --> 01:55:27.779
have the beautiful voice of Michael P. Clay unless

01:55:27.779 --> 01:55:30.720
he wants to. Yeah, in concert it's where I found

01:55:30.720 --> 01:55:32.800
that out. Because he was singing commercials

01:55:32.800 --> 01:55:35.939
in between songs and hitting those octaves. And

01:55:35.939 --> 01:55:37.359
I remember me and David looking at each other

01:55:37.359 --> 01:55:39.600
going, what the fuck? He opened up for Robert

01:55:39.600 --> 01:55:42.460
Plant. Fake No More just got big with Epic. And

01:55:42.460 --> 01:55:46.260
then they had the piano blowing up song. Falling

01:55:46.260 --> 01:55:49.939
to Pieces. Yes. Was that Falling to Pieces or

01:55:49.939 --> 01:55:53.710
was that Korn Falling to Pieces? Faith No More

01:55:53.710 --> 01:55:55.850
was My Life is Falling to Pieces, Somebody Put

01:55:55.850 --> 01:55:58.590
Me Together. Yeah, that's it. Somebody put me

01:55:58.590 --> 01:56:01.029
together. Yeah, that's right. That's a good song.

01:56:01.189 --> 01:56:06.590
And then Falling to Pieces was actually unhinged

01:56:06.590 --> 01:56:08.149
or something like that from Korn, but it has

01:56:08.149 --> 01:56:09.789
that lyric in it. Anyhow, it doesn't matter.

01:56:11.569 --> 01:56:15.909
Greg Lake from Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Songs

01:56:15.909 --> 01:56:20.060
like From the Beginning. He's relatives to Longview

01:56:20.060 --> 01:56:22.199
Lake. Yes. Yeah, the maker of Longview Lake.

01:56:22.220 --> 01:56:25.159
Yeah, and Carnell Lake, who was a defensive back

01:56:25.159 --> 01:56:26.979
for the Steelers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were

01:56:26.979 --> 01:56:30.720
all in on the Longview Lake. Yeah. But he's got

01:56:30.720 --> 01:56:33.640
such a beautiful, clear, smooth voice. Yeah.

01:56:35.859 --> 01:56:38.500
Lucky Man is another good example. Oh, that's

01:56:38.500 --> 01:56:40.880
a good one. Yeah. The tones that he hits on the

01:56:40.880 --> 01:56:43.720
lower scale. Yeah. Beautiful. It's funny. I was

01:56:43.720 --> 01:56:46.680
listening to the song from the beginning. And

01:56:46.680 --> 01:56:49.899
I realized that Greg Lake was singing, playing

01:56:49.899 --> 01:56:53.659
acoustic guitar, playing bass, pretty much doing

01:56:53.659 --> 01:56:55.899
everything until close to the end of the song

01:56:55.899 --> 01:56:58.779
when Keith Emerson came in with some keyboards.

01:56:59.720 --> 01:57:02.699
And then you hear a little bit of Carl Palmer

01:57:02.699 --> 01:57:06.000
doing some little hand percussion. But the majority

01:57:06.000 --> 01:57:08.699
of the song was Greg Lake. That was awesome.

01:57:08.800 --> 01:57:12.020
I also enjoy his lakes. He's done a great job.

01:57:12.180 --> 01:57:14.479
But Truman Lake, too. I forgot about that. True,

01:57:14.520 --> 01:57:16.520
true. Yeah, yeah. Lake of the Ozarks was a little

01:57:16.520 --> 01:57:20.380
bit before him. Yeah. But his ancestors were

01:57:20.380 --> 01:57:22.899
in on that. And Table Rock was a different lake

01:57:22.899 --> 01:57:25.319
crew. They were from down south somewhere. And

01:57:25.319 --> 01:57:28.300
I think there's a segment in his family that

01:57:28.300 --> 01:57:30.960
changed their last name to Reservoir. Yes, yeah,

01:57:31.020 --> 01:57:33.159
yeah. And then they changed Truman to Reservoir

01:57:33.159 --> 01:57:36.720
instead of Lake, yeah. Eric Wolfson of Allen

01:57:36.720 --> 01:57:40.539
Parsons. Okay. Incredible high range. He can

01:57:40.539 --> 01:57:42.859
be soft and breathy. He really doesn't sing with

01:57:42.859 --> 01:57:45.899
power, but he can sing just all over the place.

01:57:46.420 --> 01:57:50.279
I try to sing Alan Parsons songs, and there's

01:57:50.279 --> 01:57:52.619
very, very few I can actually sing because he

01:57:52.619 --> 01:57:58.079
has such a wide range, and I don't. You and most

01:57:58.079 --> 01:58:01.840
other people. Mark Torian of the Bullet Boys.

01:58:01.920 --> 01:58:03.979
Oh, fuck yeah. He used to play guitar for Rat

01:58:03.979 --> 01:58:05.720
until he kicked his ass out, and then he became

01:58:05.720 --> 01:58:09.039
the singer for the Bullet Boys. He can do a rock

01:58:09.039 --> 01:58:11.340
and roll scream like nobody else. He should have

01:58:11.340 --> 01:58:13.699
replaced David Lee Roth and Van Halen. Yes, he

01:58:13.699 --> 01:58:15.640
should have. I don't know why they didn't go

01:58:15.640 --> 01:58:19.340
for him. And it's weird. He's a born -again Christian,

01:58:19.439 --> 01:58:22.600
but he's still raunchy and rude as hell. And

01:58:22.600 --> 01:58:25.000
he's funny as hell, too. Yes, he is. He does

01:58:25.000 --> 01:58:27.539
these little lines and undertones and stuff,

01:58:27.619 --> 01:58:32.720
and it's just like, what the fuck? I love him.

01:58:32.760 --> 01:58:35.979
He's very flamboyant, but he isn't gay or anything

01:58:35.979 --> 01:58:38.819
that I know of. No, he's got a lot of ex -wives.

01:58:39.020 --> 01:58:42.659
I know that. Yes, he does. Jeff Lynn of ELO.

01:58:42.680 --> 01:58:45.680
Oh, shit, yeah. Plus, just the musicianship.

01:58:45.760 --> 01:58:47.880
Yeah. Oh, my God, yeah. He wrote everything to

01:58:47.880 --> 01:58:51.420
ELO. Oh, I know. But he also has a much higher

01:58:51.420 --> 01:58:53.819
range than you would think just listening to

01:58:53.819 --> 01:58:56.100
ELO songs. Try singing along to some of those.

01:58:56.199 --> 01:58:58.420
He goes way up there. Oh, I know he does. It's

01:58:58.420 --> 01:59:02.680
just incredible. Yeah. Let's see, Gary Neumann?

01:59:02.939 --> 01:59:08.020
Yes. If you're a fan of Nine Inch Nails, Gary

01:59:08.020 --> 01:59:10.159
Neumann is where Trent Reznor got a lot of his

01:59:10.159 --> 01:59:16.380
ideas. The heavily overdriven synthesizers, high

01:59:16.380 --> 01:59:21.020
-gain guitars, and the vocals that are either

01:59:21.020 --> 01:59:25.479
a painful scream from the depths of your soul

01:59:25.479 --> 01:59:28.640
or a soft whisper like you're in a confession.

01:59:29.310 --> 01:59:32.489
Gary Newman does all that. Yeah. And the material

01:59:32.489 --> 01:59:36.109
that he writes has a lot to do with mental health,

01:59:36.170 --> 01:59:40.529
mental illness, problems. So it's meaningful

01:59:40.529 --> 01:59:43.090
stuff. He had a lot to say, which I always enjoy.

01:59:43.270 --> 01:59:46.289
Yeah. One of my favorite albums from Gary Newman

01:59:46.289 --> 01:59:49.359
is called Savage. And it's got songs like...

01:59:49.359 --> 01:59:53.159
Savage. Savage. Ghost Nation, Bed of Thorns,

01:59:53.300 --> 01:59:56.479
My Name is Ruined. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. I love

01:59:56.479 --> 01:59:58.659
that song. Mercy. Mercy is another good one.

01:59:58.659 --> 02:00:00.119
Mercy is another really good one. I would highly

02:00:00.119 --> 02:00:03.699
recommend picking up the album Savage. And that's

02:00:03.699 --> 02:00:05.840
where Trent Reznor got a lot of his stuff. He

02:00:05.840 --> 02:00:09.960
did. Trent was listening to a lot of Gary Newman.

02:00:10.300 --> 02:00:12.880
I'm convinced My Name is Ruined is where he got

02:00:12.880 --> 02:00:17.220
a lot of his material from. Yeah. You know, he's

02:00:17.220 --> 02:00:19.340
like, you know, I wear this crown of shit, you

02:00:19.340 --> 02:00:23.039
know, on my liar's throne. All that stuff is

02:00:23.039 --> 02:00:26.399
so Newman -ish. You know, the self -deprecating.

02:00:26.840 --> 02:00:31.100
The song Bed of Thorns, the chorus is, you're

02:00:31.100 --> 02:00:37.039
welcome to stand in my place. You're welcome

02:00:37.039 --> 02:00:40.659
to feel what I feel. You're welcome to live my

02:00:40.659 --> 02:00:43.680
life. You're welcome to sleep in my bed of thorns.

02:00:43.859 --> 02:00:47.279
Yes. And it's a really good example of, you think

02:00:47.279 --> 02:00:50.319
you got it bad? Come over and take over for me.

02:00:50.420 --> 02:00:54.119
I will gladly trade with you. And it's a very

02:00:54.119 --> 02:00:57.939
powerful song. Paul Newman's brother, right?

02:00:58.039 --> 02:01:01.220
No, no, no, no, actually second cousin. Second

02:01:01.220 --> 02:01:05.319
cousin. From Vermont. Yes. And one of my favorite

02:01:05.319 --> 02:01:09.329
autistic singers. He is autistic. Is he really?

02:01:09.350 --> 02:01:10.970
Yes, he is. Oh, I thought you were joking around

02:01:10.970 --> 02:01:13.970
about his mannerisms. No, he's actually autistic.

02:01:14.329 --> 02:01:18.210
Okay. Glenn Shorrock of the Little River Band.

02:01:18.449 --> 02:01:20.489
Oh, okay. He's the one that did all the 70s hits.

02:01:20.850 --> 02:01:24.729
Lady, Reminiscing, Happy Anniversary. I could

02:01:24.729 --> 02:01:27.829
see that. Beautiful, clear, high voice. Nobody

02:01:27.829 --> 02:01:29.770
could sing like him. They had a really tough

02:01:29.770 --> 02:01:31.789
time finding a replacement for him when he left.

02:01:33.630 --> 02:01:37.390
Very good. Colin Hay. from Men at Work. Yes.

02:01:37.390 --> 02:01:40.649
Oh, my God, yeah. Laying Down Under, Overkill.

02:01:40.710 --> 02:01:42.949
I found out about him on a morning show that

02:01:42.949 --> 02:01:45.130
I still listen to every now and then. It's Bubba

02:01:45.130 --> 02:01:47.689
the Love Sponge. They had him on there, and he

02:01:47.689 --> 02:01:49.550
was doing all this stuff, and I'm like, where

02:01:49.550 --> 02:01:54.229
has this guy been? Yeah. Men at Work really didn't

02:01:54.229 --> 02:01:56.789
showcase his talents. He's got kind of a rough,

02:01:56.930 --> 02:01:59.630
raspy, scratchy voice like Rod Stewart. He played

02:01:59.630 --> 02:02:02.789
the role. He can hit any note, anytime, anywhere.

02:02:02.970 --> 02:02:06.289
He can do fast, fluid runs. He has a high range.

02:02:06.550 --> 02:02:08.850
The guy's incredible. Yeah. And he's a great

02:02:08.850 --> 02:02:11.390
guitar player, too. Yes, he is. But Colin Hay,

02:02:11.569 --> 02:02:15.109
man, I like the way he sings. He did like two

02:02:15.109 --> 02:02:17.750
guest appearances on the show Scrubs. Oh, did

02:02:17.750 --> 02:02:21.489
he? As himself, playing songs. Very cool. Yeah,

02:02:21.550 --> 02:02:23.449
I've always been a huge fan of his once I found

02:02:23.449 --> 02:02:26.670
out how good he really is. Yeah, I would recommend

02:02:26.670 --> 02:02:31.909
checking out some Colin Hay. Pat Benatar. Yes.

02:02:32.090 --> 02:02:35.729
Oh, my gosh. I saw a video from a couple years

02:02:35.729 --> 02:02:38.710
ago when she was doing Promises in the Dark,

02:02:38.829 --> 02:02:42.970
and she says it's been 41 years since she refers

02:02:42.970 --> 02:02:45.899
to her husband, Neil Giraldo, as Spider. So Spider

02:02:45.899 --> 02:02:48.500
and I got together in 79, and this was one of

02:02:48.500 --> 02:02:50.279
the first songs. They're still married, by the

02:02:50.279 --> 02:02:53.079
way. Yes, they're 44 years. She said, when we

02:02:53.079 --> 02:02:55.420
got together, we were just writing songs about

02:02:55.420 --> 02:02:57.899
stuff. We were writing songs about, and she pointed

02:02:57.899 --> 02:03:00.979
to the audience, all y 'all. But he said, then

02:03:00.979 --> 02:03:03.399
we decided we want to start writing songs about

02:03:03.399 --> 02:03:06.659
our personal stuff. And Promises in the Dark

02:03:06.659 --> 02:03:08.640
was the first one they wrote that had personal

02:03:08.640 --> 02:03:12.100
meaning. And from what I could tell, they still

02:03:12.100 --> 02:03:15.979
had their original band name. Myron Grombacher

02:03:15.979 --> 02:03:18.979
on drums. I love Myron Grombacher. He's this

02:03:18.979 --> 02:03:22.720
big ginger. And he plays with such wild abandon

02:03:22.720 --> 02:03:26.380
and joy. I love Pat Benatar's drummer. Always

02:03:26.380 --> 02:03:28.380
have. Oh, I have too. Listen to Heartbreaker.

02:03:28.539 --> 02:03:31.840
Yeah. Oh my gosh. Or Treat Me Right. Yes. The

02:03:31.840 --> 02:03:34.260
range that she hits there is just phenomenal.

02:03:34.640 --> 02:03:37.380
And she was a person that I would love to see

02:03:37.380 --> 02:03:40.020
went to a hard rock band that I really liked.

02:03:40.100 --> 02:03:45.350
Because of her range and her style. Trent Reznor

02:03:45.350 --> 02:03:48.409
of Nine Inch Nails. I didn't know that, but I

02:03:48.409 --> 02:03:49.710
can see it. And he can convey a ton of emotion

02:03:49.710 --> 02:03:52.970
in his voice. Yes. Oh, my God, yeah. Whenever

02:03:52.970 --> 02:03:56.069
he sees despair. You know what he's feeling.

02:03:56.229 --> 02:03:59.729
You feel what he's feeling. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

02:03:59.729 --> 02:04:02.930
we're talking despair in its worst sense. Yeah.

02:04:03.210 --> 02:04:07.829
Like there's nothing left. Yeah. When he wrote

02:04:07.829 --> 02:04:10.640
and recorded the downward spiral. Yeah. And then

02:04:10.640 --> 02:04:12.760
toured that. He was actually planning on ending

02:04:12.760 --> 02:04:14.760
his life after that because he figured there's

02:04:14.760 --> 02:04:17.560
nowhere to go from here. I've laid it all out

02:04:17.560 --> 02:04:20.579
there. But he turned it around and got happy.

02:04:20.739 --> 02:04:23.300
Yeah. About 20 pounds. Now he can't write music

02:04:23.300 --> 02:04:25.239
and he doesn't look as good, but he's happy.

02:04:25.239 --> 02:04:27.460
Yeah, but he's alive. Yes. That's the important

02:04:27.460 --> 02:04:29.260
part. Maybe that's what Chris Cornell should

02:04:29.260 --> 02:04:31.199
have done. Yeah. Just get happy. Start getting

02:04:31.199 --> 02:04:34.640
eaten. Yeah. Here's an old one. Roy Orbison.

02:04:35.329 --> 02:04:37.569
Yes. A lot of people don't like his. My wife

02:04:37.569 --> 02:04:39.810
doesn't like his voice. Really? But it's a gorgeous

02:04:39.810 --> 02:04:42.590
voice. Oh, my God. His voice is one of the best

02:04:42.590 --> 02:04:45.430
voices ever. Yeah. Good old boy from Texas, and

02:04:45.430 --> 02:04:48.149
he can sing like that. They said that he would

02:04:48.149 --> 02:04:49.890
have been bigger than Elvis if he looked like

02:04:49.890 --> 02:04:52.149
Elvis. Yeah. He just didn't have the looks. No,

02:04:52.149 --> 02:04:54.210
no. They'd be like, man, that voice. And then

02:04:54.210 --> 02:04:57.090
they'd see him go, oh. Yeah. Yeah. He was great

02:04:57.090 --> 02:04:58.750
on the radio, not so good on the album cover.

02:04:58.750 --> 02:05:00.630
He had a voice on the radio. That's about it.

02:05:02.430 --> 02:05:05.260
John Lennon. Of the four original Beatles, I

02:05:05.260 --> 02:05:07.659
thought he was the best vocalist. Absolutely.

02:05:08.199 --> 02:05:10.779
He had a better range. He was the only one who,

02:05:10.840 --> 02:05:12.739
when he was singing, I believed what he was saying.

02:05:13.020 --> 02:05:15.739
Me too. And his complexity of his songwriting,

02:05:15.920 --> 02:05:18.600
even when they're in the Beatles writing ditties,

02:05:18.659 --> 02:05:22.340
to me, he was the best musician and the most

02:05:22.340 --> 02:05:27.659
tortured out of all of them. Martha Davis of

02:05:27.659 --> 02:05:31.119
the Motels. Yes. Suddenly Last Summer, Only the

02:05:31.119 --> 02:05:35.000
Lonely, Little Robbers. Icy Red, all sorts of

02:05:35.000 --> 02:05:37.500
beautiful boys. I've always enjoyed her. I had

02:05:37.500 --> 02:05:40.439
such a crush on her back in the 80s. Oh, yeah.

02:05:41.279 --> 02:05:43.939
She's another one that I wore my thimble out.

02:05:44.260 --> 02:05:51.319
Yeah. Fee Waybill of the Tubes. The Tubes? Yeah.

02:05:52.399 --> 02:05:55.840
Talk to you later. She's a beauty. She's a beauty.

02:05:55.899 --> 02:05:59.199
I enjoyed her. Okay, I could see probably something

02:05:59.199 --> 02:06:02.659
that she's a beauty. Let's see, on the Remote

02:06:02.659 --> 02:06:05.859
Control album, their single was Primetime. But

02:06:05.859 --> 02:06:09.460
he has a super high range, and he can sing with

02:06:09.460 --> 02:06:12.239
just balls -to -the -wall power, or he can break

02:06:12.239 --> 02:06:15.060
into the falsetto and just croon. They had a

02:06:15.060 --> 02:06:18.640
female singer as part of the Tubes, and it went

02:06:18.640 --> 02:06:21.500
under the name Ree Styles. He could sing higher

02:06:21.500 --> 02:06:25.899
than her. Wow. Yeah. They did a duet on Primetime,

02:06:26.020 --> 02:06:29.550
and he sang every bit as high as she did. I've

02:06:29.550 --> 02:06:31.789
got a question. This is a big argument among

02:06:31.789 --> 02:06:34.390
people, especially musicians. What do you think

02:06:34.390 --> 02:06:41.229
of Axl Rose? I think he's really good. I think

02:06:41.229 --> 02:06:43.409
he's a lot better vocalist than a lot of people

02:06:43.409 --> 02:06:45.949
think. And if he had a slightly different vocal

02:06:45.949 --> 02:06:48.920
tone... He probably would have been a lot more

02:06:48.920 --> 02:06:50.960
apparent. But I think people tend to dismiss

02:06:50.960 --> 02:06:53.739
him with that rock and roll tone as, oh, he's

02:06:53.739 --> 02:06:56.600
just another rocker. No, but he's got a great

02:06:56.600 --> 02:07:00.720
range. Yeah. And he knows how to sing. And that's

02:07:00.720 --> 02:07:02.560
how come all the bands that Slash came up with

02:07:02.560 --> 02:07:06.340
afterwards never hit because they didn't have

02:07:06.340 --> 02:07:08.340
that. Even Scott Weiland couldn't help them.

02:07:08.810 --> 02:07:11.130
They had to have that. That was about the closest

02:07:11.130 --> 02:07:14.289
they came with Scott Weiland. But still, Build

02:07:14.289 --> 02:07:18.890
a Revolver, it's still, it's sagged to the rest

02:07:18.890 --> 02:07:23.670
of the music that they did. And then the last

02:07:23.670 --> 02:07:26.229
I've got is all three singers from Three Dog

02:07:26.229 --> 02:07:29.130
Night. Chuck Negron, Corey Wells, and Danny Hutt.

02:07:29.170 --> 02:07:31.710
I was never that huge into them, so I'm going

02:07:31.710 --> 02:07:35.699
to take your word for it. Chuck Negron was the

02:07:35.699 --> 02:07:38.880
one who did all the really high vocals on Eli's

02:07:38.880 --> 02:07:44.260
Coming and Pieces of April. He's also the one

02:07:44.260 --> 02:07:49.920
that got so heavily into LSD that he destroyed

02:07:49.920 --> 02:07:52.260
his career and his place in the band. He actually

02:07:52.260 --> 02:07:55.079
wrote an autobiography called Three Dog Nightmare

02:07:55.079 --> 02:07:59.079
about his drug problems. And one of the other

02:07:59.079 --> 02:08:01.239
guys, Danny Hutton, said, yeah, Chuck fought

02:08:01.239 --> 02:08:06.710
the war on drugs. Drugs 1. Drugs 1. Fucking awesome.

02:08:07.029 --> 02:08:09.649
Yeah. But I just love the vocals on Three Dog

02:08:09.649 --> 02:08:12.489
Night. That list was very well thought of. I

02:08:12.489 --> 02:08:15.189
like that list a lot. I've got a Three Dog Night

02:08:15.189 --> 02:08:19.010
Greatest Hits CD, but I recently learned that

02:08:19.010 --> 02:08:21.189
a number of the songs on it are shortened radio

02:08:21.189 --> 02:08:24.649
edit versions. Oh, fuck that. Yeah. That's not

02:08:24.649 --> 02:08:28.750
why you buy an album. No, no. I want the album

02:08:28.750 --> 02:08:32.119
cut. How long have we got on this? We have two

02:08:32.119 --> 02:08:40.279
hours and five minutes. Oh, hell yeah. Mama told

02:08:40.279 --> 02:08:42.640
me not to come. That was written by Randy Newman.

02:08:43.699 --> 02:08:45.680
Actually, I think I knew that. Yeah, very cool.

02:08:45.819 --> 02:08:47.640
And Joy to the World was written by Hoyt Axton.

02:08:47.920 --> 02:08:50.579
Yeah, okay, I know Joy to the World and stuff

02:08:50.579 --> 02:08:53.439
like that, but I know they're talented, but I

02:08:53.439 --> 02:08:56.119
never really got into them that much. Okay, very

02:08:56.119 --> 02:08:59.060
cool. All right, well, should we end this? I

02:08:59.060 --> 02:09:01.130
think we should. All right. Everybody, thank

02:09:01.130 --> 02:09:02.909
you for listening. Our numbers are growing. You

02:09:02.909 --> 02:09:04.949
know, we got our million download and then some.

02:09:05.430 --> 02:09:07.710
We really appreciate it. It's because all of

02:09:07.710 --> 02:09:10.649
you guys taking the time to let people know and

02:09:10.649 --> 02:09:12.390
smash them in the face if they don't listen.

02:09:12.470 --> 02:09:14.829
We really appreciate that too. Allegedly, I'm

02:09:14.829 --> 02:09:18.630
just joking. But anyhow, we really appreciate

02:09:18.630 --> 02:09:23.149
it and go fuck yourself. Oh no. Looks like the

02:09:23.149 --> 02:09:26.189
show's over, kids. Mark has explosive diarrhea

02:09:26.189 --> 02:09:30.210
and can't afford a wireless mic. Fear not, assholes.

02:09:30.250 --> 02:09:32.470
They'll be back invading your ear holes soon.
