Hey, my fellow heavy breeders. This is Dash Riptide.
Your music news. Metal band Slayer fans unite.
Your boys and Slayer have a new hot sauce named
Rain and Blood. This sauce's heat meter is off
the hook. So use with caution or be a dick and
put it on your buddy's sandwich. Maybe not. This
is Dash Riptide and that was your music news.
If it's too loud, you probably have ear damage,
just like me. Creeps. We are the music. Creeps.
Yes, we are. Yes, we're very creepy. All right.
Creeping into your ear holes for yet another
episode. Yep. This is the music. Creeps, of course.
We've stated that, what, 30 times right now?
Yeah. Let's say five or six more. Yeah, music
creeps. Music creeps. Music creeps. Well, let's
see. Well, let's see. I've got stories on...
I've got a story about Neil Diamond. Okay. Some
edits I saw on an episode of Big Bang Theory
the other day. Oh, cool. Spotify and their vote
for the number one female rock song ever. Cool.
I've got a list of musicians who committed crimes,
but no sex crimes, because I don't want to talk
about sex crimes anymore. No, no, we're pretty
much... A list of worst bandmates ever. And I
still have a lot more on my list of really unusual
band names. Okay. I have, of course, Bullet Points.
Love those Bullet Points. I have a full story
about the song It's a Raid by Ozzy. Ooh. I have
Uber Eats has their most expensive orders of
all time. Oh, that'd be good. I have an intoxicated
Air Asia passenger. passenger that stripped off
all her clothes. Oh God. Let's see, I've got
a bunch of stuff here. I'm going to skip that
one. That's a little bit deep. You know what?
Let's just go ahead and go on with it. I've got
a bunch of stuff here. A lot of it music, some
of it not. Oh, the earth vibrations are getting
stronger. And bothering some people. Oh, cool.
Yeah. Oh, Gene Simmons comments on the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame. Oh, the real story about Houston
and Ozzy firing the whole band in Houston. And
then he went to San Antonio and he pissed on
the Alamo. Oh, yeah. And then Sharon overrode
him and hired the whole band back and had them
all go San Antonio. And he got caught pissing
on the Alamo because he's not a big binge. You
know what? I'll go into the story a little bit
later. Anyhow, you got something you want to
go into? Yeah. Neil Diamond has been in the news
recently because there was a movie called Song
Sung Blue that came out recently about an Elvis,
not Elvis, Neil Diamond tribute band. And it
was Hugh Jackman who played the guy who was pretending
to be Neil Diamond. But Neil was very happy about
it. He said, I love the movie. I want them to
make another one too. That's cool. Good. But
another comment that came out is his song Sweet
Caroline. Apparently it's so overexposed that
a lot of people hate it now and actively boo
it when it plays. You know, I could see that.
I mean, it's kind of like Freebird. People get
pissed off when they hear Freebird. Oh, come
on. I get it. So he understands, but he's really
sad because he said, that's still one of my favorite
songs and I love it, I love performing it. And
it makes me sad that people are just so tired
of it because it's been overplayed. But yeah,
it is a really good song. As we discussed last
episode, it's a song about sex. Yeah, but everybody
thought they floated the rumor probably that
it was about Caroline Kennedy. So everyone could
have a nice warm feeling in their belly and go,
oh, it's about the daughter of the... Let's see,
Caroline would be... Would that be JFK's daughter?
Yeah, I would think so. That's right, Jackie
and... yeah, okay. Or no, it was probably his
sister. Sister, that's what I thought, okay,
yeah. Yeah, because JFK's kids were really little.
Okay. Let's see, oh, I was watching The Big Bang
Theory the other day. And I know they edit some
episodes. They air, after the first airing, they'll
go back and edit some stuff, and you'll never
see that part again. Like, the very first episode
of The Big Bang Theory, if you watch it now,
it starts with Leonard and Sheldon walking up
the stairs to their apartment and talking about
stuff. But that wasn't the original opening scene
for the pilot episode. The original opening scene
was Leonard and Sheldon sitting in the lobby
of a sperm donation center, planning to donate
their sperm. and talking about it and talking
about other things. That only aired on the very
first showing of that pilot episode, and it has
been deleted ever since. Do you have any observations
on that? Do you think it was too risque being
in a sperm thing? They said, we need to cut this
for family stuff. Yeah, especially if you've
seen the original pilot for Big Bang Theory where
they cast someone else as Penny, and she was
more of an out -of -control drunk. who was getting
into trouble constantly. And Leonard and Sheldon
were a lot more streetwise and sarcastic and
snarky. And it was a very much more adult -themed
show. And I think that sperm bank scene was a
holdover from that kind of an idea. But then
as the show progressed, they realized, no, this
is kind of more family -friendly, so they went
back and chopped that part out and never put
it back in. Wow. Maybe if you buy the DVD version
or something, you might see it, but you'll never
see it air on TV again. And even in the streaming
services, when I've been able to stream it, it's
not there either. It's like they're trying to
erase it from existence. But I remember it. But
what I saw just the other day was there was a
brief storyline where the Leonard character had
dated Penny and then stopped and then was having
casual sex with a... A character played by Sarah
Gilbert? Melissa Gilbert? Yeah. I think Sarah.
Sarah, yeah. The one that was on... Melissa's
little house was... Okay, yeah, this is Sarah.
Yeah, yeah, Sarah. And the scene was... It's
the next morning. The girl's already left. And
Penny is talking to Leonard. And smiling, she
says... So I hear you and the character's name
is Leslie. I hear you and Leslie hooked up last
night. And while she was saying you and Leslie
hooked up last night, the whole scene jerked
slightly. Because a little piece was cut out.
And I noticed her lips did not match hooked up.
Oh. So they edited, I think initially she said
had sex or did the nasty or something a little
more. Okay, okay, so then they. They went back
and sanitized it to hook it up. Just like they
sanitized the sperm bank. Uh -huh. Okay. So,
and the last time I saw that episode, it wasn't
like that. But they're continuing to go back
and re -sanitize. I think it's at the behest
of the advertisers. Because it's a syndication.
They get Procter & Gamble and stuff. So they're
continuing to edit. But the odd thing is most
people aren't going to notice that. And everyone's
going to think, well, this is the way it always
has been. And that's how they change your history.
That's how they erase your past and make you
doubt yourself. I listened to our very first
all -in podcast with you joining us. This could
be a Sunday night thing, right? Yeah. And you're
talking about how they erased parts of an article.
Yep. In just an hour, you came back, you still
had it highlighted, and they took out some right
there. And the weird thing, it was the exact
same link. And it showed I'd already clicked
the link. And normally I would trust that to
take me back to exactly what I saw before. But
now, no, it doesn't. It can be something completely
different, but it still acts like that's the
same link that you clicked. Yeah, so they can
erase any fucking thing at any time they want.
And it makes me a little more nervous about sending
a link to somebody because who knows what that
link could change into by the time they click
on it and look at it. That's true. Yeah. So the
control is out of our hands, I believe. I think
you're right. So interesting about Big Bang Theory.
Very much so. Okay. Is that it on that? That
was it. Okay. All right. Oh, number one. Hey,
pause for a second, then we'll go into something
of mine. All right. We had some little inside
stuff there that you guys cannot hear. Yep. Yeah,
and you won't hear ever. Secret podcast stuff.
Yes. I think I'm going to go into something kind
of fun here. Sure. Okay. It's a Raid by Ozzy
Osbourne. It was on Ordinary Band. And it was
Andrew Watt, his producer on that album, suggested
when he helped him work with Post Malone and
all that, you know, and he was like, you know,
he told It's a Raid was a duet with Post Malone.
Well, he was featuring Post Malone on the song,
but it was actually a Post Malone song featuring
Ozzy, but it kind of, the revisionist history
have it the other way around. So, okay, so the...
It's a Raid was actually off of a story that
he told both of them. And they're like, we need
to tell it, you know, you need to tell that story.
So here's what it's about. It's a Raid was actually
off of something that actually happened. I spoke,
I brushed around the edges of this, but this
is the official story of what happened. Okay.
It was based on a 1972 incident where a high
on cocaine Aussie accidentally triggered a silent
security alarm. at the Bel Air Mansion while
recording Black Sabbath Volume 4. Thinking it
was an air conditioning button, he called police,
leading to a panic drug fuel cleanup. Oh, that's
so Ozzy. Oh, I know. In 1972, while renting a
house for recording, a heavily intoxicated Ozzy
felt hot and pressed a wall button, mistakenly
summoning the police to a house filled with drugs.
The reaction was, realizing the mistake, Ozzy
yelled, it's a rape, grabbed a large bowl of
cocaine, and hid in a bathroom where he proceeded
to ingest the drugs to hide from the police.
Oh, that's hilarious. Oh, it is. And the police
found no burglary, deemed it a false alarm, and
left, despite Ozzy being gacked to the grills.
But you know, as long as the drugs are in your
system, it's legal. Yeah, it's legal. I mean,
if you're holding the heroin, they can bust you.
but after it's injected into your system, eh,
nothing they can do. Nope. Not unless you're
trying to drive a car or something. The song
was created because producer Andrew Watt thought
the story was hilarious and encouraged turning
the experience and capturing the chaotic, frantic
injury of the moment into a song. It was released
on the 2020 album Ordinary Man. Wow. Yeah, isn't
that something? I finally got to the full story.
I downloaded it a while back and I kept forgetting
to bring it. So I love that. I love stuff like
that. That's so great that he turned it into
a song. Yeah. Or it made it to the album. I mean,
it'd be one thing if he played it live and it
never made it to an album. That'd be good enough.
But it actually got onto an album, which is awesome.
You've got me as Ozzy and Alice never toured
together. That does seem strange. They're great
friends. They really admired each other's work
and each other's... Stage show. Stage show. He
toured with Marilyn Manson. He toured with Motley
Crue. Yeah. He's toured with a number of other
people. Megan Hith. Yeah, why never Ozzy? I don't
know. That is weird that it never happened. Can't
happen now. No, no, not going to happen now at
all. Although the good thing is Alice seems to
be doing pretty well. His health is good. Yep,
yep. He is doing his final farewell kind of thing.
But that's for... I guess him and his show and
his band with Nita and Tommy and Roxy is normal.
But the stuff he's doing with the surviving members
of his first band, Michael, Bruce, Dennis Dunaway,
and Neil Smith, I think he's going to continue
doing that. Yeah, Neil Smith went into football.
That's where you know him from later. He went
into football. Yeah, played for the Chiefs and
the Broncos. Yeah. He went from a 6 '5", blonde,
white guy down to a 6 '3", very heavyset black
man. Yes, it was crazy, the transition. Yeah,
and now he's back to being the Platinum God again,
which is what he calls himself, the Platinum
God. Does he really? No ego there. No, not at
all. I think that's the name of his book. He's
fucking funny. He used to write fan letters to
himself to get them published in magazines. Hey,
self -promotion, man. Whatever it takes. I saw
this morning that the song What's Up by Four
Non Blondes. Yeah. That has been voted the number
one rock and roll song by a female artist of
all time. And it's important to note that this
is the only song of note from Four Non -Blogs.
And it's also known as What's Going On. Yeah.
Hey, hey, what's going on? Yeah. It's exactly
three chords. Yes. In the same order over and
over through the whole song. Very catchy. Very
catchy, very simple. But not the greatest female
song of all time. No. But that's what Spotify
says. Spotify has declared it. So here's the
first point. When you hear, oh, it's been voted
the number one, okay, says who? And it's just
Spotify. Well, I told you about the AI Spotify.
The guy at work listens to the AI -created DJ
that Spotify has. I think it's a premium service,
I imagine. So the only artist, he listens to
R &B and rap and stuff like that. The only artist
that this AI DJ will ever mention is Kendrick
Lamar. The only one he mentions by name? The
only one he mentions by name. All the rest of
them is just, he just, like, that was so -and
-so. He didn't say the name of them. He just
said, let's say the song was called Two Feet.
Yeah. Two Feet. And he goes on to something else.
Yeah. He did not mention the artist and when
it came out. Yeah. Unless it was Kendrick Lamar.
Then he goes, that was... Kendrick Lamar, and
that's off his latest effort, So -and -So. You
can find that on EMI Records under... It's getting
kind of obvious now, isn't it? Yeah, who's paying?
Yeah. The other ones didn't pay. The only one
that paid was Kendrick Lamar, so therefore the
guy mentioned him every time. And they played
more of him than anything else, too. And that's
kind of embarrassing in a way because it makes
it very obvious that it's pay for play. Well,
the problem is not everybody is as observant
as you and I. You wouldn't have noticed it, too.
But you and I are more observant than a lot of
people I've noticed. And not only that, but we're
more willing to look behind and say, okay, this
isn't all nice and happy and just for us. It's
not. There's something sinister and there's an
ulterior motive here. We've been looking behind
the curtain our whole life, and we're not about
to stop now. But most people, it's like, oh,
you want to do this because you like me? Okay,
I believe you. All right. Hope that works out
for you. So anyway, Spotify says that they did
research, they looked at downloads, they looked
at shares and likes and plays and blah, blah,
blah. But the odd thing is, there's a different
group called the American Society for the Preservation
of Rock Music. And they say their number one
song by a female artist or group is I Love Rock
and Roll by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. To
me, I find it a little bit more acceptable, and
here's why. Because it's been used everywhere.
All different types of sporting events. Music
events, commercials, that thing is universal
and that riff is universal. And the American
Society for Preservation said that they looked
at what you're saying, use in TV, shows, commercials,
movies, just this total impact in pop culture
everywhere. Spotify was basically going by people
who own Spotify and what they listen to. Plus
the fact that Spotify just said they did all
this research, which, of course, they didn't
spend a single penny on this. They just decided
who was going to be the winner and announced
it and pretended they did all the research and
stuff to sell the idea. But why would Spotify
spend any time and money coming up with a real
list when they could just publish a list that's
exactly the way they want it to and just do that?
Which is, of course, exactly what they did. And
that's, of course, exactly what I did. Because
there is no American Society for the Preservation
of Rock Music, I made it up. They didn't exist.
They never voted on anything. But I made it sound
pretty real, didn't I? You did. That's how easy
it is to just bullshit somebody. There's probably
a bunch of people out there who say, oh, okay,
I guess that's the new song then. The truth is,
is if you didn't tell me this ahead of time,
I would have been like, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I can
make up just as much bullshit as Spotify can.
Hey, we're getting our picture taken. Yes. All
righty. All right. So, anyhow, go ahead. A little
caveat there that, you know, and they published
this little happy article. Oh, boy, four non
-blondes. It's the number one song. Blah, blah,
blah. Well, the truth behind it is Spotify wants
to pander to a certain group of people and get
them to become... subscribers. So they printed
up this list to tell people what they want to
hear to try to get them to subscribe to Spotify.
And that's the only reason that article was ever
published in the first place is because there's
something in it for Spotify. I got the microphone
on that one. Anyhow, yeah, no, you're right.
Please, everyone, just take a minute to think,
why do they want me to believe this? Just ask
yourself that. Why do they want me to believe
this? That'll save you some heartache, let me
tell you. Yep. Hang on, I'm going to post it
here so people know we're down here. I've got
a list of musicians who committed some pretty
horrible crimes. Okay. This doesn't go into great
detail about the crimes, but it's all something
that is part of public... Public record, you'll
look up. Our first one on the list is legendary
music producer Phil Spector. Oh, yeah. Yes. He
was convicted of the second -degree murder in
2009 for shooting actress Lana Clarkson. And
I think she was living in a guest house on his
property at the time. And he went in and shot
her. And then he tried to pretend he didn't.
He tried to hide it. And, yeah, he was convicted.
Here's a really good one. Vard Vikernes, who
went by the name Burzum, or maybe that was the
band he was in, I don't know. Norwegian black
metal musician convicted of murdering a bandmate
named Euronymous, who was Boystein Arsef, in
1993, and involved in church burnings. Wow. Apparently,
he showed up... This Varg guy went to Euronymous'
place just to talk to him. But he brought a very
long, sharp knife with him to just talk. And
he wound up stabbing the guy 23 times, most of
them in the back. Okay. But even though he was
convicted of murdering, he claimed it was self
-defense. I stabbed him in the back 20 times
because it's self -defense. Now, the guy he stabbed
to death, Euronymous, he wasn't such a great
guy either because he was famous for coming to
band practice one day and finding that the drummer
had committed suicide. So the first thing he
did was he staged the scene to be more photographic
and then took a bunch of pictures and then used
the pictures to try to make merchandise to sell.
The actual dead body of his bandmate, who was
supposed to be his friend, and he took pictures
and printed it on merchandise. Oh, my gosh. What
a horrible person. That is... The Norwegian black
metal scene is pretty ugly, apparently. Oh, jeez,
yes. Oh, read all the crimes that are committed
in that genre. Oh, yeah. It's like a bunch of
really... horrible people that are in that industry.
It really is. I'm sure some of it is just PR
to get you excited, but probably half of it actually
happened. Yeah, probably half of it. Next up,
Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols. Oh, yeah. Who
did not know how to play bass. He was picked
because he had the right look, and there's exactly
one... He taught Nicky Six. Yeah, he did. There's
exactly one Sex Pistols song where he actually
played bass on. The rest of the time it was somebody
else filling in for him. Oh, just like Nikki
Sixx. Allegedly. Anyway, he was accused of stabbing
his girlfriend Nancy Spungen to death. He claims
he can't remember. Before trial, he died of a
heroin overdose. And the prevailing wisdom is,
even though they can't prove it, that his mother
helped him OD because she knew he couldn't handle
going to prison. So she helped him kill himself
by heroin, death by heroin, rather than go to
jail. Yeah. So, yeah, what a mom. Yeah. Tim Lambesis.
I would go out on a limb and say his mom was
probably most of his problem. Probably so, yeah.
She was definitely just fine with him using heroin.
Yeah. Tim Lambesis of As I Lay a Dying. pleaded
guilty to solicitation of murder for attempting
to hire a hitman to kill his estranged wife.
And that was more recent, too. Yeah, that was
pretty recent. It's like, dude. Pay the alimony.
Don't go to jail. You're in a rock band. Pay
the alimony. Or don't. You're in a rock band.
You're not expected to. You're in a rock band.
Yeah. Yeah. Here is a guy named Bard Faust Eiffen.
Again, the Norwegian black metal scene. He should
have killed his mom for naming him that. Yeah,
really. He was in the band Emperor. He's the
drummer of the band Emperor. He stabbed a man
to death in a park in Lillehammer, Norway in
1992. Now, the original article specifically
mentioned that it was a gay man who he stabbed
to death, but did not go as far as to say it
was a hate crime. Why would you specify that
the man he killed was gay unless you're trying
to make the point that it was a hate crime? Yeah.
So I left out that part, or I can include it
and say he stabbed a gay man to death in a hate
crime in Lillehammer. I don't know if they were
ever able to prove that it was a hate crime.
How about an alleged? Yeah, alleged hate crime.
So anyway, he didn't stab a man to death. The
man was gay, but apparently they weren't able
to prove that it was an anti -gay hate crime.
I think that's the way they had to name it, but
we'll go ahead and say allegedly it was a hate
crime. Allegedly, yeah. And we'll let you draw
your own conclusions, so yeah. Lisa Left Eye
Lopez. Oh, yeah. Go ahead. A member of TLC who
burned down the house of her boyfriend. And she
died, yeah. That would be the football player
Rice. Andre Rison. Yep, Bad Moon Rison. Yep.
But, yeah, she died early. She died young with
something else. In a car crash. I think that
was it, yeah. In Dominican, maybe? That sounds
familiar, yeah. I think it was a certain place
in Ventura. Orlando, Yodano Ventura passed away.
Yeah. In a car on those roads going too fast.
Yeah. But Lisa Left Eye Lopez was actually filmed
dying. Oh, gosh. Because someone was filming
them when they had their wreck. Oh, wow. With
her phone. And you hear a bunch of screaming
and just stuff, you know, shoes, bodies, all
that stuff. Wow. And Lisa was left lifeless.
Yeah. That's a shame. Yeah, it is. And as far
as I remember, she wasn't trying to burn Andre
Rison's whole house down. No, no, no. She set
a small fire and it got out of control. It got
out of control. She was trying to make a statement.
It was like, oops! Really, really badly. Well,
speaking of fire, our next one is Johnny Cash.
Oh, yeah. In 1965, he set fire to the Los Padres
National Forest in California with a truck, destroying
hundreds of acres and killing 49 endangered condors.
I didn't know this. Oh, wow. He was Mr. Drug
Use back then. I mean, he was so out of control.
By the way, I was asked, and so was Rob, and
probably you too, what would be the best punk
band name you could come up with? Mine was Johnny
Gash. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah, that's a good
one. What do you listen to? Johnny Gash. Oh,
wow. Who is that? Take a listen. Anyhow, go ahead.
You can call yourself Anita Bryant's Breasts.
Look up Anita Bryant. I think she was discovered
by... I just like the name of it. It sounds great.
I think she was discovered by Howard Hughes,
who had a thing for brunettes with giant boobs.
Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, there was someone else
that he... I remember in the 60s and early 70s,
she used to do bra commercials. Yeah, okay. But
she was in a couple of Howard Hughes' films.
Yeah, yeah, he was... The quotation was he burst
into the studio's office saying, She was the
dental assistant. She had just cleaned his teeth.
And he said, you won't believe it. I just found
the girl with the biggest knockers I've ever
seen. Oh, Jane Russell. Jane Russell. Yeah, that
was her name, Jane Russell. Okay. She got her
started in movies because she cleaned Howard
Hughes' teeth and he thought her boobs were pretty.
They were, you know, as I remember. They were
pretty big. Anita Bryant's were about that big.
Okay. And then last on my list is. Kobe's grandma.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And Arthur's a great -grandma.
No, no, no. Arthur's grandma. Yeah. Kobe's great
-grandma. Yeah. Google it. Suge Knight, former
Death Row Records CEO with a long history of
violent crime, eventually pleading no contest
of voluntary manslaughter in 2018. He was also
accused of being a drug dealer and trafficker.
I don't know. I don't think he was ever. arrested,
indicted, or whatever, so it was always just
alleged. It was always alleged, but he was never
indicted on it, yes. Yeah. So that's criminal
band members. Then we could segue into worst
bandmates ever. Okay, then I have some bullet
points. Do that. All right. Okay, number one,
Roger Waters. Absolutely. He is known for intense
conflicts with band members. And he will go to
the nuclear option right away when he doesn't
get his way. He considers himself to be Pink
Floyd and treated the other three guys as hired
musicians who needed to do what he told them.
He's the one that they could do without. Yeah,
yeah. If you didn't have David Gilmour or Nick
Mason, no fucking way. David Gilmour played a
lot of Roger Waters' parts on the albums, and
then Roger would have to learn a simplified version
to play live. If you're familiar with the song
One of These Days, it starts out with two bass
guitars, one in the left speaker and one in the
right speaker. You can hear the one that's David
Gilmour because it's good, solid playing, it's
on time, it's a good -sounding guitar. And then
the one that's Roger is sloppy. You can hear
the strings flopping and vibrating. The strings
sound dirty. He didn't take care of his instrument
because he just didn't give a shit. That guy
is so fucked. I mean, it would take us three
years to go through everything that's wrong.
Really? Yeah. Next up, we have Richie Blackmore.
Oh, yeah. Known for micromanaging, being very
controlling, and... Creating an atmosphere where
everyone is afraid to do anything for fear he
might lose his temper. Kind of a walking on eggshells
environment. And he and Ian Gillen were fucking
just horrible together. Yeah. Because Ian Gillen
was pretty much a control freak too. He had Leitzinger
disease. Yes, he did. And those two together
did not match. But go ahead. All right. Next
up we have Keith Moon. His alcoholism and other
addictions. Coke. prescription pills, amphetamines,
all sorts of stuff, made it increasingly difficult
to get any usable drumming out of him. It just
got harder and harder for albums and tours, and
it was just, it got to the point. Who was going
to get rid of Manny Howe before he died? I mean,
he was just like, he was impossible to work with
because, you know, at least John Bonham, when
he showed up, he played. This is true. Yeah,
but with Keith, they spent as much time trying
to get usable tracks out of Keith as the whole
rest of the band combined. Yes, and the problem
is the stuff with Keith Moon was so much better
because it was Keith Moon. Yeah. But you couldn't
keep trying to coax someone to play and be there
and, you know, so. Yeah. So he was. Hey there,
Slap Nets. It's time for the Creeps Music News.
Stay the fuck out of it. Bye -bye. Male Felicia.
This is Johnny Rohypno. That was your music news.
And remember, bar chords are bullshit. He was
very unreliable. He ruined a lot of concerts
and shows because a lot of those they had to
play to a backing track because of Pete Townsend's
recorded. keys and various other things. And
if he lost time with that backing track, he'd
just rip the headphones off his head and just
play whatever the hell he felt like. He has...
It would just ruin the whole song. Next up we
have Perry Farrell. He completely... He's another
guy that you could take three years trying to
describe what's wrong with him and still not
even getting on. He torched that complete reunion
tour with bad behavior and drug use. Yep. Flaking
out on stage and punching Dave Navarro. Oh, yeah,
yeah, yeah. I think Dave DeMauro ended up kicking
his ass though, didn't he? Yep. Which was quite
satisfying to watch. In fact, the roadies who
were taking Perry Farrell off stage were also
punching on him because they hated him too. Everybody
was, hey, this is my chance to get a few licks
in on Perry. That's why there'll never be a reunion
is because of him. They hate him that much. They're
like, we'd rather make no money than be with
this idiot. When that blew up the tour, everyone
lost millions. Millions. And I'm sure a lot of
people were counting on that money. to help somewhere
else. Oh, yeah. They'll never get business with
me. That's it. Perry Farrell sued the band. The
band's countersued him. In the intervening time,
they've all come to some sort of agreement and
arrangement. Everyone's dropped their lawsuits,
and everyone's talking about, well, let's just
preserve the legacy of the band and the music
we have. No one's talking about doing anything
more together in the future. That's impossible.
Too much has happened on the hands of Perry Fernald.
Nobody wants to be next to him. But they are
trying to preserve the value of what they already
have recorded. We don't want you to hate the
band because of him, so let's downplay that part.
Keep buying all of our past catalog and merchandise
and stuff. So they're making nice so they can
try to recoup some of the money that they would
have gotten on that tour. I've always thought
that the band was a bit overrated anyhow. Yeah.
They just came by and like when Errol was searching
for something besides the glam metal scene was
dying out. Grunge wasn't quite in yet. So they
were going more alternative. And then Jane's
Addiction was like a huge leap. Not very many
guitars in it really per se. I'm trying to remember
the drummer's name. Was it Stephen Perkins? Yeah,
I think so. Because Chad Smith is in the Chili
Peppers. Yeah, yeah. So I think it's Steve and
Perkins. But they remind you of each other. They
do. The playing style is a lot alive. Yeah, there's
a lot of funk in both of them. Yes. Next up,
we have Captain Beefheart, whose real name is
Don Van Vlier. He was kind of a protege of Frank
Zappa. Even Frank Zappa said he couldn't stand
him. In one instance... Captain Beefheart threw
his drummer down a flight of stairs because they
were arguing over a part in a song. He wouldn't
let anyone in the band eat, sleep, or even leave
the house until the songs were just right in
the way he wanted them. So they were going on
sleep deprivation, food deprivation, and a completely
toxic... atmosphere trying to get this song made.
They came out with an album called Trout Mask
Replica, which is apparently very influential.
Not easy to listen to, but apparently very influential.
So I guess they kind of got what they were looking
for. But what a horrible human being. It sounds
like it. You can't leave, can't talk. Yeah. Next
up we have David Crosby. Oh yeah, yeah. He is
pretty much known for pissing off absolutely
everybody who has ever known him. Notorious for
going out of his way to be an asshole and offensive.
You could be sitting minding your own business
and he would come over and pick a fight with
you to try to wreck your day. That's the kind
of guy he was. Now he had a near constant addiction
of freebasing coke. and heroin. Both addictions
running simultaneously for the majority of his
musical career. How did he live so long? That's
the same combination that Layne Staley was on.
Mostly everybody that does that eventually dies.
Not like later, but soon. It destroys your body
so badly. He also took assorted uppers, downers,
and hallucinogens throughout the years. He was
always... always on something. They said Layton
Staley wouldn't have lived anyhow because he
destroyed himself even if he wouldn't have OD'd.
Yeah, he destroyed all his organs. Now, Dave
Crosby did get sober and he was still somewhat
of an asshole, not quite as much of an asshole.
But he did hold it together long enough to donate
sperm for Melissa Etheridge to have a baby. I
forgot about that. Yeah, he's the sperm donor
for Melissa Etheridge's baby. And he died, what,
four years ago? Yeah. Yeah, something like that.
And for him, it was the effects of cocaine on
his circulatory system. It basically turns your
blood vessels into concrete pipe. Yeah. And your
heart just explodes trying to pump blood through
them. Yep. Pretty much that's what happened to
him, too, only he was, like, well into his 70s.
Wasn't he closer to 80? Yeah, he lived quite
a long time. The drummer for Toto died of the
same thing, but he died a lot younger. Quite
that younger. He did a whole lot more coke. Yeah.
Okay, David Byrne of the Talking Hits. He freely
admits that he was a tyrant while he was in the
Talking Hits. Oh, no, he did, yeah. Yeah, he
owns it. He's like, yeah, I was a complete jerk,
complete asshole, yeah. And that's one of the
reasons he's declared he's not going to ever
do anything musical again. Yeah. Except recently
he said, I've changed my mind and I do want to
do music again. Oh, did he? I didn't know that.
Like a month ago. I'm sorry, that makes it even
funnier. Like a month ago, he put out an article
and said, yeah, music is something I used to
do when I was younger. I'm over it. I don't want
to do it anymore. It's not going to happen. And
now he's like, yeah, I kind of like what Alex
Van Halen did. I'm retired. I'm done. I'm not
playing. Oh, Steve Lukather is available? Yeah,
I'm doing more music. Next up on our list is
Dave Mustaine. Oh, yeah. Well, he's changed a
lot now. He's had throat cancer and a lot of
other things. And he was worse when he was on
heroin. All kinds of stuff, yeah. Now, he's notorious
for when he was using, he had a quick and violent
temper, and he holds grudges forever. He never
forgets anything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, next
one is no surprise, Bret Michaels of Poison.
Yeah, I got to where I can't stand him for what
I've read about him. The band members are now
freely talking about this, and he's been a total
diva ever since he joined the band, even when
we were nobody or nothing. They used to hide
it. They used to not say anything. Now they're
like, we're never getting back together. Anyhow,
so fuck it. Just say what you have. Yeah, the
recent tour, he wrecked that. He threw it completely
off the rails. It was ready to go. And then he
says, nope, I want six times more money than
anybody else makes. And everyone said, fuck you.
Bye. But even up to this point, when the band
was big, when they were popular, he insisted
that he fly. by himself in a private plane while
the rest of the band went by bus. He would leave
immediately after the show was over, get whisked
away by limo to the airport so he could fly ahead
to the next city. He also insisted on his own
private rooms in a separate hotel from the rest
of the band. That was the thing that got me.
Not only did he want all this other perks, but
he wanted to be completely away from everyone
else. Which would indicate to me that he didn't
like them. Other contempt for his bandmates.
And we thought C .C. DeVille was the problem.
No, I know, no, he wasn't. He wasn't. Brent Michaels
was the dick the whole time. Yeah, it's really
disheartening, though, about the Mick Mars stuff,
though. Yeah. Because we were dead set, Nicky
was like the asshole. But on this, he may be
an asshole, but on this one... Yeah, Motley Crue
was completely right the whole time, and Mick
Mars sealed his own fate when he used the term
retiring from touring. That's all it took, because
in the contract, in Mick Mars' own assistance,
if you retire from touring, you're retired from
the band, and you will be divested of everything.
That is so messed up. He demanded all that, and
then thought he could just get away with it.
Which means, like I said, I think there's dementia.
I think so. Something going on there for him
to do it like that. Made no sense. And to Motley
Crue's credit, they knew the whole time that
it never had a prayer. But they never said a
word. No, they were just kind of like, yeah,
we'll wait until it gets to the court and then
drop the bomb. There you go. No money for you.
And then what's her name? Deal, his daughter,
because his name is Bob Deal, his real name,
putting up that post about him and all that.
It's like, man, she was completely involved.
Completely wrong. I don't know if she knew or
if that's what she thought was going on. But,
yeah, now in hindsight, it looks like a horrible
post. Yeah. Didn't age well. No, it did not.
All right. Three more. Greg Ginn of the seminal
punk band Black Flag. Now, don't confuse that
with King Zax, who had a song called Black Flag.
This is a totally different band than Black Flag.
Yeah, Black Flag had Henry Rollins. I think he
was pretty much the only one to note from that
band. Yeah. Greg Ginn is the only original member
left because nobody else can stand him. Yeah,
yeah. Everyone goes away from him. He has screwed
over every bandmate he has ever had and every
band that was signed to the SST label, which
he ran. I don't think he owned it, but he was
running it. What he did is he refused to pay
royalties to anyone. under any circumstances
unless they took him to court and sued him and
the judge ordered him to pay it. That was the
only time he would ever let go of the royalties
that he was supposed to be paying everyone. Other
than that, he just kept it for himself. And I
followed up with some reports. Some people were
weighing in with their personal experiences and
several people saying, yeah, I met him in a meet
and greet line after a show in whatever. And
she said, I'm 19, female. And he came up and
gave me an extra long hug and said, you're cute.
I'd have sex with you. And she laughed. She said,
well, I'm a lesbian, so it's not going to work
out. And he looked at her and said, I'd still
have sex with you, and wandered off. And another
woman from another city said, he said the exact
same line to me. I guess that's his line. You
know, this guy is in his 60s, at least. And he's
creeping on women around 19, 20 years old and
telling, yeah, you're cute, I'd have sex with
you. He's a David Lee Roth. Yeah, he's a total
perv. So he's got that going for him, too. Yay!
Thank you. Sting is apparently very awful. The
other two guys in the band said he's insanely
controlling. He has a very strong opinion about
everything. He never admits he's wrong, never
backs down. And if you have a disagreement with
him about anything, he will relentlessly pick
at you until you get so sick of it you just give
in to make him shut up. Wow. That's who Sting
is. I believe it. So apparently if he's absolutely
getting his own way all the way through, he's
okay to be around. But if anything goes wrong,
he's just a nightmare. Yeah, I'll pass. You know
what, I can believe that. Some of the songs that
he wrote. And last up, we have the Van Halen
brothers. They have apparently monster egos.
Well, that was apparent. I mean, but so did David
Lee Roth, and so did Sammy Hayworth. Yeah. Gary
Sorrell, not so much, but that's how come he's
a forgotten one. Yeah, and Michael Anthony got
pretty much trampled on. Yeah, he did, constantly.
But from band members, from the crew, from anybody
who's ever worked for Van Halen, they say...
The Van Halen brothers felt superior to everyone
whose last name wasn't Van Halen. If your last
name was Van Halen, they would treat you like
an equal. If your name wasn't Van Halen, they
would shit on you. And you just didn't matter.
And they took full advantage of the fact that
both of those guys were absolutely vital to the
band. If either one of them left, the band would
fall apart. And everyone says they used that
to their full advantage. They knew they could
make anybody do anything just by threatening
to quit, which they did over and over and over.
Until David Lee Roth finally quit. Yep. And it's
funny because in the book Brothers by Alex Van
Halen, he pretty much blamed the split up between
David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen on his brother
because he said his brother went out and did
that solo on Beat It, Michael Jackson. And he
started getting more popular, and they knew that
that would not set well with David Lee Ross'
ego. Yeah. And they knew that it might cause
something like that, but he still said, I'm going
to do it. And that's, you know, that's a battle
of egos. And then finally David Roth was like,
I'm going to do my solo stuff. Fuck you guys.
And, you know, David should have known better
because the band was named after Eddie and Alex.
Yes. And Eddie was this amazing virtuoso guitar
player who was playing in ways that most people
had never heard before. He had to realize that
he was not the lead. He was not the star of the
band. Yeah, but his ego wouldn't let him do that,
you know. Yeah. It's like Montrose. The guitar
player, Montrose, was the star of the band. Sammy
Hagar was the lead singer, but he wasn't the
star of the band. Elvin Bishop, he was the guitar
player. He was the star of the band. They had
the song Fooled Around and Fell in Love. The
singer was Mickey Thomas, who went on to sing
for Jefferson Airplane and Starship. But he wasn't
the leader of the band. He wasn't the main focus.
No, he wasn't. It was Elvin Bishop, the guy who
the band was named after. Yeah. So David should
have known better. He should have. Yeah. What
you got to do? Ego's a weird thing. Yeah. All
right. I've got some bullet points. Oh, give
me the bullet points. All right. What bands would
you like to have a collaboration of music together?
Before, during, after, whatever. Live, dead.
You know, I would love to work with Jeff Lynn
of ELO. I would also really enjoy working with
Alan Parsons. Both of those? Those are very creative.
I would echo your sentiment 100%, yeah. But just
to get together and jam. To jam? I'd like to
jam with Mick Mars. Yeah. But not today. Yeah.
Back, shout at the double, two pass for love.
Yeah. Because that guy had just. I'd like to
jam with Chris Isaac. Because he's not a real
rocker. He's more rockabilly and some softer
stuff. But the drummer he's got, Kenny Anderson,
is just amazing. Just such a delicate touch.
Excellent choices of what to play and not to
play. I would probably embarrass myself trying
to play like him, but it would be fun to try.
If that was on mushrooms, I would love to jam
with Jeff Beck. Oh, yeah. Some of his shit. Yeah.
I'd be like, wow. Let's see. For crunchiness,
I would go like Mick Mars. Actually, I would
love to take Mustaine. Oh, yeah. He's got a very
unique way of crunchy playing. I would have a
long time ago said James Hetfield, but not now
because it's, yeah, who cares anymore? I mean,
they've sucked for so long and I don't care.
Bad Company would be fun. Oh, Bad Company. Mick
Ralph's. Yeah. Yeah. And step in for Simon Kirk.
Say, hey, go take a break. I want to play this
one. Take a powder. with Simon Kirk and they'd
go, who the fuck are you? Yeah. Get out of here.
Hey, you know, even though I'm not very good
at bass guitar, I could probably play at least
as good as Buzz Burrell did. Oh, easily, yeah.
He wasn't much of a bass player. No, he was not.
He was a good guy and he was fun. He was important
to the band, like that little syncopated lick
for The Sky is Burning. Buzz Braille came up
with that. It was just a straight beat until
he said, hey, let's do it this way. Oh, that's
great. And that made the whole song. It did.
It made the whole song. And then Paul Rogers
came in with this very weird vocal style. Yeah.
It was just like, it fit. Somehow it fit. Yeah.
Yeah. It became the title track of the album.
Yeah. So. Yep. Actually, a really, really very
unique good song. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. If you could
start a band and it was signed right away and
the record company wanted you to pick a producer
for the first effort, what would that producer
be? Who would it be? Mutt Lang. Mutt Lang would
be a good one. Bob Ezra would be a good one.
Bob Ezra. There was some drummer I heard of recently
who was also producing. I know Butch Big from
Garbage is a producer as well. If it wasn't like
Bob Ezrin or Mutt Lang, I would probably want
to go with a drummer producer. Okay. Just for
my own personal... I'm going to say mine is Mutt
Lang, number one, and that's just because he
had such a way with the harder -edged songs that
got radio play. Yeah. He was a master at that.
You know, he could take a Def Leppard song and
make it edgy and hard, but it would be played
everywhere. Yeah. He had a very unique style
of doing that. Well, there's so many that I'm
leaving off just because I can't think of them
right now. Gosh, yeah. Desmond Child, maybe?
Desmond Child, yes. He would help you write the
songs. He would write the songs. Well, he's a
producer, too, so Desmond Child would be great.
Desmond Child was notorious for bringing bands
back from the dead. It's like, hey, like Aerosmith,
they did that. collab with Run DMC, but then
they're like, alright, well, we're still out
of ideas. Yeah. And then, you know, Desmond Chow
came in and started writing these songs for them.
Yeah. They might have been bigger in the 80s
than they were in the 70s, which is kind of hard
to fathom. Yeah. I think after Alice Cooper's
second stint in rehab... And he came back in
like the mid -80s and he had two albums. One
was called Constrictor and one was called Raise
Your Fist and Yell. And they were more straight
ahead, hard rock. I think Desmond Child worked
on at least one of those. He did. He worked on
both of them, I believe. I was thinking it was
both of them, but I wasn't sure. Didn't he write
Poison? But that was off a different album. That
was off Trash. I think he was continuing with
that. But yeah, he wrote some of those songs
too. There's another one that he had at 32, Alice
Cooper. Yeah. It might have been Hey Stupid.
I think it was. It was Hey Stupid. Two O's. Two
O's, okay. So when you go to Google. Stupid.
Yeah. All righty. Next one. Will Sharon Osbourne
ever produce her own autobiography? I'm probably
thinking no. I don't know that she could really
do it justice. I don't think she'd want to tell
all the things that would make it interesting.
I think it would be... her version of an autobiography
I don't think she would fess up to some of the
stuff that everyone else says that she's done
to them personally I think there are definitely
going to be books written about her and the smart
people will wait until she's already gone so
she can't sue them because she will although
I do have full faith in her kids too I agree
It's going to be harder for the kids to do it.
Jack and Kelly won't be as vindictive. I wouldn't
think so. All right, we're pretty much on track
with all of this so far. Next one. Will Bob Daisley
ever get the credit he deserves? Oh, my gosh.
I'm not just talking about the Aussie stuff.
I'm talking about Uriah Hink. I'm talking about
Rainbow. I'm talking about, gosh, besides Aussie.
He also helped play with Black Sabbath. Didn't
he help Purple out on a couple of albums too?
I think so. He's not on the credit, but he was
behind the scenes helping him. Him and Roger
Glover kind of worked together on some stuff.
And that happens a lot more than I realized.
Musicians would step in and play the backing
guitar on this track or do the solo on this track
and never get any credit. They didn't worry about
it back then. No, they didn't care. They were
just like, oh, yeah, yeah, he helped on that
album. Why? Oh, yeah, yeah, it was good. It's
like Aerosmith's Train Kept a Rollin'. They weren't
having very much luck with doing the guitar parts,
and Steve Hunter just happened to be in the studio
down the hall recording for somebody else. And
the producer for L. Smith said, hey, you want
to come play guitar on some of our tracks? He's
like, yeah, I still got my axe with me. So he
stepped in and did all those parts. Just happened
to be there. Monero Smith, Dude Looks Like a
Lady, which was written about Vince Neil. Yeah.
Okay, because Vince Neil looked like a lady.
He did. You can hear Mick Mars down the hall.
play it in the background if you listened to
it very carefully. He refused to turn down his
equipment, so he just went ahead and just kept
recording with it in the background. That's funny.
He went in there and said, hey Mick, Aerosmith's
wanting you to turn it down a little bit. Fuck
you. He kept playing. And finally Aerosmith's
like, roll it. You can hear it, not very well,
but actually it's kind of cool to listen to in
the back of the song. Yeah, that sounds like
Mick. Oh, yeah, yeah, he's got a down -tune,
drop -down, not down -tune, drop -down. What
did he tune his guitar to? I can't remember.
He tuned his guitar down... Some of them use
what's called the dad -gab, D -A -D, G -A -D.
Yeah, he used something like that, but he did
it to a different one to come up with his own.
Yeah. Geez, I'll have to look it up, but anyhow.
But you can hear his... Sound, that verbal. Hey,
I know that. All right. Gene Simmons, is he a
loudmouth, egotistical, or wise and makes great
points? I say both. I say both, yeah. He made
a great point about the Hall of Fame. I got an
article on that, and I agree with that. He's
right on that. He's absolutely right. I mean,
listen, some of that stuff is ego -driven, and
he does get a little egocentric, and he does
like to brag. Yeah. A lot of his stuff is extremely
educated, right to the point, doesn't fuck around,
says what he thinks, and is not afraid of it,
which I appreciate so much in today's world.
He doesn't care. He's like, this is how I feel,
and I don't care if you like it or not. I'm going
to tell you how I feel. So, yeah, go protest
it. I don't give a shit. I love it. I mean, to
me, I wish more people had that attitude. This
stupid shit would go away if people were like,
I don't care. Yeah, I'm not playing along with
your bullshit. Yeah, don't like it all you want.
Yeah. Don't care. I wonder, I'm going to try
to see if the interview is still available online.
A number of years ago, Gene Simmons went on to
a national public radio show called Fresh Air.
NPR for the cool kids. And the host was Terry
Gross. And he went on, I guess, playing a role
or a character. He's trying to be as bizarre
and strange and uncooperative as possible. Just
to piss her off and get her off base and off
track. And when the interview was over... He
went back and listened to it, and he's like,
oh, shit, I came off pretty weird in this one.
So he tried to get the interview killed and not
aired. And NPR said, nah, we're airing it. And
they aired it under the heading of most unusual
celebrity of the year or something like that.
Oh, I love it. Most unusual character of the
year, I think they described it. Is this when
he was constantly trying to bang on chicks all
the time and probably being creepy like that?
Yeah, yeah. One thing he did is he was discussing
his birth name, and she mispronounced it. And
he said, well, that's close, but you've mispronounced
it. The problem is it's coming out of a Gentile's
mouth. And she said, I'm not a Gentile. And he
said, oh, really? Oh, and you could tell he was
genuinely surprised. He said, oh, okay, well,
we'll have to discuss that later. But he was
ready to jump on her and say, well, you're just
a Gentile, so you can't say my name right. She
said, no, I'm not. That's funny. And it's interesting.
When I was growing up, someone told me that their
term Gentile was how Jews referred to Christians.
No, Gentile means a non -Jew. Yes. So there are
only two categories, Jews and Gentiles. And,
you know, you could worship that lump of rock
over there and you'd be a Gentile. It just doesn't
matter. Yeah, isn't it? So it's a real us and
them situation. A hundred percent. Yeah. You're
either them or you're a Gentile. Wow. But, you
know, on TV it's still used to meet Christians.
They wouldn't look at a Muslim person and call
him a Gentile. Not on TV anyway. That's not the
way it's perceived. It would never be different
because people don't care enough to correct anybody.
That's not true. All right. If you could be on
tour with one band of all time, what band would
it be? Wow. I love that question because, jeez.
Holy cow. Mine. Yeah. But I wanted to be invisible
so I wouldn't get caught up in the shenanigans.
Yeah. Be Ozzy Motley. Yeah. That'd be pretty
insane. Oh, gosh. All the shit they did. Yeah.
I'd just love to have been back there. I probably
would have gone on the 1973 Billion Dollar Babies
Tour for Alice. Oh, that would have been something.
ZZ Top, I think, was opening during part of that
time. That would be interesting. That would be
interesting, yeah. But that... I mean, that was
kind of the last big hurrah for his original
band. That was kind of the last time they really
got along enough to make good music together.
Yep. That would be interesting. That would have
been good. Either one was great choices because
there's so many shenanigans that happen on each
one of the albums. And also, like you said, the
bands, well... The band didn't really break up,
but Sharon made sure they never toured again
after that. We're not doing this again because
a couple of you are going to be exiting the tour
in body bags, so we're not going to have this
anymore. As a matter of fact, it's so bad that
she had to start going along with them, which
she hated because she's constantly fed off stupid
shit. She didn't really do anything about mopping.
But she always had to watch out for her interests,
and that'd be Jake and Ozzy and whoever else,
if anyone else was there, too. All right. What
rock star will find Jesus and stop playing music?
I'm talking the next one, too. I'm going to say
Youngblood. That would be a good choice, yeah.
Even though I love him, but I don't want him
to stop. Yeah. I mean, he's really refreshing.
I like him. Talented. You know, maybe Marilyn
Manson, except he's not relevant anymore. No.
Drew Fresnor, but he's not relevant anymore.
Who's relevant that would, gosh, I don't know.
King Diamond? Yeah, okay. Actually, I think King
Diamond might have. I think he did after his
massive heart attack. Yeah, I think he kind of
did. All right, I think I'm going to put that
safe and stuff. I think I'm going to... Yeah.
When I had my heart attack, I didn't see the
light. I saw flames. Yeah, so I think I'm going
to go ahead and change things around a little
bit. Yeah. Enlightened self -interest. Yes. And
also, that whole thing isn't working anymore.
Nobody cares. Yeah. It's like, oh, you're in
the safe. Oh, okay. All right, cool. But what
about this album? No, I sacrifice him. Okay,
cool, yeah. What about this album? Nobody cares.
All right. What would be a good punk rock band
name? I already gave mine out. Johnny Gash. Yours?
Man, I can't. The only one I can think of is
Anita Bryant's Breasts. ABB for short. I'm going
to say the Screaming Rockefellers. Oh, that'd
be a good one. The Bulimic Rothschilds. The Dead
Regrets. Yes. Left Foot in a Right Shoe. The
Bunions. Canker Sore Incorporated. There's probably
some good ones on my list of interesting band
names. Johnny Filth. Johnny Filth was a good
one. And the Dead Saxophones. Flaming orphans.
Ruptured spleen. Deep, deep penetrating trauma.
Kurt Cobain's remains. Peggy Incorporated. How
about... Traffic Fatality's Last Shit. That's
pretty rude. That was very rude. I loved it.
ALS for Beginners. Swimming in Razorblades. Cancerous
Toenail. Swim in Razorblades. Cannibalistic carp.
Yeah. All right. Anyhow, we can go on. Will Ted
Nugent hit Dave Lee Roth in the face eventually?
I'm going to say yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he'll eventually.
Even though they don't seem to have heat, I think
just somewhere, somehow, it's going to happen
organically. Yeah. And Dave Lee Roth's going
to walk up and he'll go, whoa! And he's going
to go, bam! Or. Will he get him in the mouth
with the butt end of his guitar? Lift his guitar
up and just break out some of David Lee Ross'
fake teeth. Yeah, then David Lee Ross is going
to go, whoa, and walk off bleeding. Who would
win in a fist fight? This is a battle of the
gingers. Axl Rose versus Dave Mustaine. I'm going
to say Dave Mustaine. Me too. I think Dave Mustaine
would beat the shit out of him. wipe his ass
with his face and beat him for dead. He would
say, Axel, I gotta take a dump, hang on. Throw
him back on the ground. Yeah, I think Dave's
got more anger in his system. I think so too.
I think Axel kind of looks like Buster Brown
with a little bit of extra weight. Yeah, and
Axel's more accustomed to having other people
fight as fights for him. This is true. Dave Mustaine
will get in there and throw his hands. He's always
done that. He'd go in and beat someone's ass
because he has to. I think Axl Rose was a lot
of talk. He had every opportunity to fight Vince
Neal, who I thought he would kick the shit out
of, and he never did. He was always at Malvin,
but then whenever someone was like, hey, he's
over there, he would never go over there. As
a matter of fact, I remember Vince saying, hey,
he gave the time and place to MTV and said, I'll
be right here. And Axl never showed up. I think
Dave would point at Axl's crotch and say, hey,
that looks like a penis, only smaller. And then
when Axl looked down, he'd kick him in the teeth.
Axl would call him a filthy Mexican. Oh, I remember
the singer for Def Leppard blanking on his name.
Joe Elliott. Joe Elliott. Back when they were,
before the drummer lost his arm and they were
riding kind of high, they did a concert down
in Texas that was fairly close to the Mexican
border. Might have been a border town. And somebody
had misinformed the band about the meaning of
the term greaser. Hey, my little pumpkin seeds,
this is Johnny Rohypnol with your music news.
John Karabi, former lead singer of Motley Crue
and The Scream, has a new album coming out on
April 24th called New Day. You can pre -order
the album online. The effort features guitars
like Richard Fortis from Guns N' Roses, Paul
Taylor from winger Steve Perry on keyboards,
Marty Freckerson, producer of multi -instrumentalist
and Charlie Starr from Blackberry Smoke on guitar
solos, alongside Evan Freckerson on drums and
bass. This should be a pretty good album. Sure
has a lot of talent to go with it. This is Johnny
Rohypnol. That was your music news. And remember,
bar chords are bullshit. I can see that going
bad. Yeah. And Joe Elliott thought it was just
like a term of endearment, like calling a British
person a limey. which is no big deal. So when
the band was playing, between songs, he said
something like, it's great to be down here to
play to all you fans and all you Mexican greasers.
And the mood in the room changed. And he had
no idea that the term greaser, he thought like
the 50s greasers where you grease your hair back.
And him being British, he didn't really get that.
So he didn't realize that using that term for
Mexican people was a really bad idea. Oh my gosh.
I would have loved to have seen that crowd when
he did that. Oh God. And there was like enormous
apologies the next day. It's like, I had no idea.
I just heard the term. I thought I knew what
it meant. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. But you know,
he totally survived that. No, he did. Totally
survived that. I would have never known about
it until you said something. No. I remember reading
the article in the newspaper. I thought, damn,
I'm smart enough to know that. Joe Elliott's
a very likable guy, luckily. He is. He is. All
right, and then finally, another little fist
fight deal here. How about Zach Wilde versus
Jerry Cantrell? This one I have a tough time
with. Zach Wild works out a lot, but Jerry Cantrell
just looks tough. Jerry Cantrell looks like he
knows a lot of dirty tricks. Yes. I'm going to
say Jerry Cantrell. I'm going to say Jerry. I
think Zach comes up punching him in the face
with those big arms, and I think Jerry Cantrell
falls to the ground and bites his nuts on the
way down. Therefore, Jerry winning. Yeah, I'd
go with Jerry. And besides that, if he's wearing
a kilt, it's going to be really easy to get to
his nuts. This is true. This is true. All he's
got to do on the way down is give him a good
yank and he's done. Unless he's a ball genie.
Yeah, this is true. He could be any. Yeah, the
jury's reaching. Too late. He's got that boot
on him. There's a little sign down there that
said, Too late, Biggin got here first. Oh, that's
right. We're doing ours tomorrow night because
I got a massage tonight. So I got to tell the
story about Biggin because I can't find it anywhere.
Oh, yeah. It sucks. I had it. Yeah. I don't know
where it is. I must have mislabeled it or something.
Yeah. Like, I don't know, the St. Prick files
or something. Yeah. Have you heard of Crotch,
the old St. Prick? The one that doesn't... Oh,
yes. Yeah, that gives you a different wish than
what you want. A poem, a horrible poem. I probably
mislabeled it St. Crick or something. Yeah. I
think it's one of the earliest episodes you talk
about Big and the Bullbiter. It was, I know.
I think it's like the ninth episode. Yeah, within
the first dozen episodes, I think it is. I'll
find it, because I want the original one. The
original one was the best, because I remembered
it very well. And, yeah, because I forgot what
triggered it, and I was like, I'm going to tell
about the bullbiter. Yeah. It was probably around
the same time you told us about the mad shitter.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The mad shitter I
had. Okay. Yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. Bigging
the bullbiter. Yeah, the first, like, 20 episodes
were full of all the crazy stories I had. Yeah.
And now people email me reminding me. Yeah. Like
Mitch and the famous boner in the field. Yeah.
I'd forgotten all about that until he mentioned
the girl. uh jesse the little chick that used
to hang out with and yeah and then i remembered
it i was like that's why he doesn't care for
me but actually he doesn't dislike me he just
thought he'd bring that up and go hey remember
that i'm like yeah yeah actually i do now so
anyhow uh you got something you want to go into
i have other stuff also well i'm gonna hit pause
for a second because i really gotta pee and then
after you get done i will go okay Okay, we both
had to take a break for urinary reasons, and
we forgot where we're at, so we're going to start
this. We're not even going to back up and take
a look. We're just going to soldier on ahead.
Yeah, you had something you just had sent to
you by your lovely wife. Yeah, she sent me a
little article about the actor Don Knotts. He
was in Three's. That's with a K. Yes, Knotts.
Knotts. He was in Three's Company. as the Mr.
Furley, the nervous landlord. The ghost Mr. Chicken.
He was in Andy Griffith. He got a start in Andy
Griffith in the early 60s. But his start in life,
he was born in West Virginia in 1924. His mother
was already 40 years old, and all of his siblings
were teenagers. So he was a late, unexpected
baby. He was an oops? Yeah. And there wasn't
really a bedroom for him, so his cot was put
in the kitchen, and that's where he slept at
night. But then to leave and go do anything,
he had to walk past his father. He spent most
of his days lying on the couch, suffering from
both alcoholism and schizophrenia. Oh, wow. So
Mr. Knott kind of had a lot going on. Yeah. Now,
both alcoholism and schizophrenia were not talked
about. You just kind of ignored them and put
up with them back then. And so his father, Jesse,
used to hold a knife to young Don's throat and
threaten him when he was still in diapers. Wow,
because he was schizophrenic? Yep. And an alcoholic
didn't help either? Yeah. Wow. He said some days
were calm, other days were terrifying. Later
in life, his mother asked if he remembered when
his father held a knife to his throat when he
was still in diapers. And Don had blocked the
memories, but his body still remembered the fear.
Wow. Elise, his mother, Elsie, held everything
together, encouraged him when he started trying
to tell jokes and do magic tricks and be a ventriloquist.
She just encouraged all of it. And then when
Don was 13... In 1937, his father died, and Don
suddenly blossomed. He was in high school. He
became class president. He wrote a humor column,
performed in talent shows. He enlisted when World
War II started and was a performer and entertainer
for the troops. Traveled all over doing that.
Moved to New York. Taking stage work anywhere
he could find. And then when the Andy Griffith
Show needed a nervous deputy, Barney Fife, he
auditioned. And they said most of what you see
him doing on screen as the nervous, jittery,
twitchy Barney Fife, he's tapping into his childhood
and living with a schizophrenic, violent father.
Wow. So you're seeing how he used to be. He did
that same gimmick as Mr. Furley on Three's Company.
You know, all the bug -eyed and the fear and
the nervousness, jittery, that was all based
on real, real feelings. Wow. He didn't have to
pretend at all. Amazing. Yeah. Well, no wonder
he was so good at it. Yep. But they said his
mother, Elsie, never became famous. But she basically,
without her, he probably would have been killed
by his father in childhood. Wow. As it turned
out, Don worked until the age of 81 in the year
2006, shortly before he died. He was still working.
Yeah, I think I remember that. He was actually
doing dinner theater a lot. There's a picture
of him and his mother together. But he overcame
a bunch. Yeah, he did. I always respect him,
too. Yeah, I mean, when I was a kid, I didn't
like him because I was based on the way he was
acting on screen, and it made me nervous. I was
in a not -too -different situation as a kid.
My home was also very violent and dangerous to
me. So that's probably why I didn't really enjoy
the way he was acting. It's like, hell, that's
my life. That's how I am. That's not entertaining.
That's the life I live every day, trying to stay
away from... Somebody who's trying to hit me.
I couldn't understand that. Wow. Yeah. You know,
he used to take residence. He would do like three
months at the New Theater restaurant over there
off of Metcalf. I think it's still there. I'm
not for sure. Yeah. It used to be in Waldo. The
Waldorf Astoria was one. Yeah, that was up here.
But, yeah, this one was actually in Johnson County.
right off of Metcalf called the New Theater Dinner
Restaurant. And he used to play a lot of roles
in that. He'd be there for like three months
doing this like twice a week or whatever. A lot
of people I knew, including the guy that did
maintenance over there on those townhomes behind
there, got to know him because that's where he
stayed. That's where they put him up. And nice
guy. So really down the road to talk to you.
Everybody said that, that had met him, and I
know a lot of people had met him because they
worked in that area, serviced that area. I forgot
the name of the townhomes, but if I said the
name, you'd go, oh yeah, I heard of them. So
anyhow, I can totally believe that. Most people
who worked on the Andy Griffith show said Andy
Griffith was tough and harsh, but basically a
decent guy. He was very blunt when it came to
work. He wanted what he wanted, and he wasn't
going to sugarcoat anything. Don was the nice
guy that everyone liked and got along with. And
then Frances Bavier, who played Aunt Bea, she
hated everyone. No, I'm joking. She thought the
show was beneath her, but she didn't want to
quit, so she just hated on everybody. left and
right and sideways. And she only reconciled with
Andy Griffith a few years before her death. And
she said, man, I wish I'd been a nicer person.
They were all being nice to me. I didn't realize
what an opportunity I had. I really blew it.
So she had her regrets later. At least she reconciled
with Andy Griffith. And most of the cast and
crew said, yeah, Don Knotts was the reason we
enjoyed coming to work every day for that show.
I believe that is naturally entertaining because
of his tragic life growing up. So you think I
would be more entertaining, but oh well. I don't
know. But you're pretty good on the podcast,
so you know. You and I come up with some pretty
interesting stuff, so I'd say, yeah, you are.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. Yep. Okay,
I've got a story. Then I had AI write a list
according to this story. Okay. So this is about
bubble gum. Okay, so AI wrote a list about bad
bubblegum flavors. So I think you could imagine,
you know, AI's done a pretty good job so far
on all the other stuff that I've had to do. So
this is a lady in Ontario who's being sued for
malicious actions that led to pain and embarrassment
after she secretly put chewed warm bubblegum
in a stocking cap of Janine Byers was putting
on her head to go outside. So, needless to say,
the joke wasn't really a prank when Janine had
to have her head shaved because of the gum. Yikes.
Now, we all know this. We know people have done
this as a child or something. Putting it in a
stocking cap to warm chewed up gum. That's pretty
vicious. You would know that when they take that
cap off that, number one, taking the cap off
is going to hurt like hell. Number two, you're
probably going to have to have your hair cut
if not shaved. Yeah. Rachel White of Cambridge,
Ontario, I guess the other lady, Janine Byers,
put the gun in the cow. Yeah. Okay. And Rachel
White of Cambridge, Ontario, is asking for $100
,000 in pain and suffering and damages caused
by the supposed prank. By the way, which she
did win. Oh, okay. But I found that out later
after I went and I put this article down. But
she did win that. Yeah. And the other lady had
a lot of community time. She didn't go to jail,
but she had community service. I mean, it was
a lot, but it was like four months of it. Oh.
Yeah. She probably would have preferred to go
to jail, get it over with. That's what I think.
I think they said, don't throw her in jail. I'll
be over in a couple weeks. Make her do community
service for four or five months. I think it was
like four months of community service. And basically,
the way it read was, every time she wasn't at
work, or sleeping, she was doing this community
service. So she had no other life besides work
and community service. That's fitting. Yeah,
so it sounds like they did pretty good on the
punishment. Yeah. Okay, well, Jeffy X had to
go to AI for this. He couldn't break into anything.
I think it's Sergeant Pepper outfit that he keeps
wearing that he would never, you know, wash it.
Rob Embroider gave this loincloth with his toes.
So he came up with chewing gum flavors that have
failed. Okay. Okay. The first one that failed,
according to AI, was hot dog water flavored chewing
gum. I think, you know, I think so. Yeah. Unless
it's Costco hot dogs. Those are pretty good,
yeah. Those are good, yeah. Yeah, just like hot
dog water over ice on a hot day. Or the next
one that failed was cream corn flavored bubble
gum. Oh, that would be awful. Can you imagine
the texture? Oh, God. What the hell was that?
You try to blow a bubble and then pop would be
this wet splat. And little pieces of corn all
over your face. Wow, that's nasty. Looked like
someone took a dump on your face. The next one
that failed was tuna melt. flavored wow i think
i would go ahead and say yeah that's probably
a fail yeah so if that wasn't enough the next
one would be ketchup flavored no no no if you're
eating it with fries but then you'd have to eat
the gum which would erase the purpose of having
them but imagine just eating a bowl of ketchup
spoon by spoon no no So I think I would agree
with that. So far, I think the AI has come up
with some stuff that's probably pretty close
to being good. The next one I agree with wholeheartedly,
because I can't stand this shit normally, and
that's Pickle Loaf. Pickle Juice would be okay,
but Pickle Loaf, no. Who is the person that hated
humanity that bad that they came up with Pickle?
You know, I think it was more of, here's all
this waste and scrap that I have to throw away.
Maybe I'll just mash it together into a loaf
and make people pay for it. And someone will
buy it, which they do. Yeah. Because they still
sell it at stores. Yep. So, yeah, that was one
of those industrial food waste products that
was like, instead of paying to throw it away,
let's just charge for it. Yeah. Rubes will buy
it. It's like regurgitated meat and vegetables
with glue. Yes. The next one that AI said was
a bad idea would be broccoli flavored chewing
gum. Oh, yeah. I think I would agree with that
100%. I mean, I like broccoli, but sometimes
when you're cooking it, it smells like farts.
Oh, it does. It just does. Yeah, and then later
on it smells like farts too, ironically. Yeah,
cabbage is the same way. Yeah, yeah. When you're
sitting in your chair at home, yeah. And then
you fart and it smells like farts. Yeah, it smells
like broccoli farts. Yes. The next one I think
I agree with because I was subject to tasting
some of this when I was younger after maybe saying
a dirty word or something I wasn't supposed to.
That would be Dawn dish soap flavored. I think
so. I think so. Yeah, I remember not rinsing
my coffee carafe well enough once. There was
a little bit of soap flavor left and a whole
pot of coffee tasted like soap. I did not drink
it. I've done that before, too. I'd pour the
whole thing out and start over. The next one
would be leaf lettuce. Wow, yeah, that'd be just
kind of a waste of time. It would be like, what
flavor is this? Iceberg lettuce. Iceberg lettuce.
Water. Yeah. The next one I agree with 100%.
Dab. Damp mop flavored chewing gum. I think I
would agree with that. Yeah, that musty... I
mean, when you smell it, you just know that you're
getting unhealthier. Yeah, it's like, ugh. It's
like, this is what black mold probably smells
like right here. It feels like there are already
colonies in my lungs. Yeah, they're already in
there causing all kinds of cancers. Oh, gosh.
And emphysemas and what have you. And then finally,
the one that AI created was NyQuil flavored chewing
gum. Ooh, that would be nasty. I would agree.
100%. Here's a flavor I want us to get. Would
it be a bad flavor or a good flavor or kind of
both at the same time? And that's vagina -flavored
chewing gum. Oh, but human vagina. Let me put
it that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. That could
be like anything. It could be good or bad. It
could be good. It could be bad. Maybe you like
it for the first ten minutes and then you're
like, I'm really tired of this. Yeah, I'm tired
of this gum. I think I'm going to get rid of
it. Imagine the breath it would give you. True.
But you know, I think there is a market for that.
Yeah, as a slip of the tongue, you have shitty
breath. Oh, this is true. And now if Gwyneth
Paltrow can sell a candle that smells like her
twat. Then we can sell bubblegum that tastes
like a twat. I forgot about that. Yeah. You're
talking about fooling yourself. No kidding. I
mean, I hope they tested those candles to make
sure none of her vaginal secretions are actually
in the candle that you're burning. Oh, if you
will. If people start dropping dead, we know
why. Yeah. I mean, I'm perfectly fine with someone
finding Gwyneth Paltrow attractive, but I don't.
I don't want anything to do with her. I don't
want to look at her. I don't want to hear her.
I don't want to see any of her acting performances.
She repels me. That's okay, because I'm sure
I would repel her, but, you know. She just has
a look that doesn't have a look. Yeah, she looks
like a partially completed painting of a person.
Yes. It's all there on the surface, but there's
nothing beneath. It's kind of like, yeah, when
she was formed, you know, the sperm and the egg
and all that, they're just like, they bypass
the face. You open up her head and look inside,
and it's just like moaning wind noises down a
cave. No, there's nobody home here. Like one
of those big windmills or something. I mean,
she married the Coldplay guy, and Coldplay's
music sucks, so you know she can't have much
intelligence. I think most of it's inspired by
her, depending on how bad the music is. Yeah.
The way the outro's a bit jaded. I don't even
want to think about her having one. I'm just
going to pretend she features us like a Barbie
doll. I agree. I agree. Very cool. All right.
Well, that was the end of that list. All righty.
You got something? I've got more continuation
of the really strange band names that we are
going through. Let's hear it. We're up to the
J's here. The first one we have is the Jazz Iguanas.
That's a little weird. Next up we have Jehovah's
Waitresses. And these are real band names, right?
These are actually registered band names, yeah.
Jehovah's Witness Protection Program. Very cool.
Here's a band called Jerry's Kids. Uh -huh. Jif
and the Choosy Mothers. Even if you don't know
what a choosy mother is, it sounds good. I just
like the sound of it. Yeah. Joan of Arkansas.
I like that one. Joe Puke and the Chunky Bits.
That was probably named after a real -life experience.
Now, any of these band names, you can drive up
to a bar and see it on the marquee. So just imagine
seeing that. This next one, Johnny Cougar Concentration
Camp. That must have been so much fun to come
up with that name. John Denver's Co -Pilot. The
Juggling Death Squad. And here's one that was
almost me. Junior High Burnout. And me. Yeah,
I was getting pretty burned out in Junior High.
Oh gosh, yeah, same here. Okay, the K list. There's
not too many in the K list. First up we have
the Kamikaze Sex Pilots. Okay. Kathleen Turner
Overdrive. I just love that one. Randy Bachman's
going, what? What do they do in my name? Oh,
those bastards. I'm going to sue. Kerrigan's
knees. That's a Nancy Kerrigan. Google it. The
killer hayseeds. I've heard of them before. I've
heard of them too. Kinky slinky. Okay. The kit
shickers. You have to be really careful pronouncing
that one. Yes, and that's why they do that. Yes.
K -Y and the Backsliders. Oh, that sounds nasty.
Oh, that's horrible. I love it. Okay, and the
L list. Leonard Skinhead. Leonard Skinhead, yeah.
I've heard of them. Yeah, but it was Zach Wild
with a couple other people. Yeah, they were doing
Skinner covers only in Los Angeles. Like the
rainbow and Roxy. Yeah. Under the name Leonard
Skinhead. Leonard Skinhead. That's what's going
on. I love it. That's an excellent name. Lee
Harvey Keitel. That might be my favorite. I'm
going to put a star by that one. That's like
Marilyn Manson. Yes. Twiggy Ramirez and Madonna
Wayne Gacy. That was good. Real good. Lee Presson
and the Nails. I like that. Lesbian Dopeheads
on Mopeds. Okay. The Lost Underpants of Doom.
Okay. Lubricated Goat. I think that happens a
lot out there in the sticks on a Friday night.
I think so. I think that in Arkansas they call
that Tuesday. Yes. Louisiana, too. Hey. The Luminous
Toilet Bowls. You actually, a luminous toilet
bowl wouldn't be a bad idea. No, they actually
make them. They make kits for that. You haven't
seen them? No, I haven't. Yeah. That's a good,
actually, good idea. Lung mustard. No. And the
lust penguins. The lust penguins. All right,
in the M list, we have maggot sandwich. Okay.
The Manson -Nixon line. To hell with Mason Dixon.
You got the Manson Nixon. Mount Seed Helen. Mount
Seed Helen? Mount Seed, like Mount Seed Tongue.
Oh, Mount Seed. Mount Seed Helen. Cool. Mary
Kay and the Cosmetics. Mary Tyler Morphine. Oh,
I like that one. Here's another one I've heard
of. The Meat Puppets. Yeah, oh yeah. That's actually
one of the bands that Greg Ginn screwed over
and wouldn't pay the royalties to. Oh, was it?
They sued him. I believe it. Mechanical Tampon
Fish. Okay. Melissa's House of Crabs. Men With
Issues. Men With Issues? Men With Issues. Okay.
The Minstrel Cramps. Oh, I've heard of them.
I have too. Mr. Holland's anus. Oh, that's a
good one. The Mr. T experience. That would actually
probably be pretty fun. That would be great.
Imagine Mr. T up there singing hardcore. Whoa,
sucker. Moist fist. The morbid tavern apple choir.
The morning shakes. The Muscular Lesbians. Mussolini
Head Kick. Mustard Plug. Mustard Plug. Mustard
Plug. Oh, I don't know about that one. All right.
You want the ends, or do you want to move on?
Keep going. Okay. Under the ends, we have Naked
Potato. Okay. Naugahyde Chihuahuas. Okay. Navigators
of Carrots. I like this one. Nearly died laughing
while shaving my butt. That's quite a bad name.
Ned's atomic dustbin. I've heard of them. I've
heard, yeah. New squids on the dock. That is
awesome. The no -pants bandits. Okay, that's
interesting. Here's another good one. Nocturnal
emissions. Wow. Oh yeah. Nomad Nipples. Noodle
Muffin and the Pig Squints. Norman Bates and
the Showerheads. Under the O's we have Etta Pussy.
Old Lady Driver. Okay. The Only Alternative and
His Other Possibilities. Very cool. Operation
Cliff Clavin. From Cheers. Yes, I got it now.
It took me a second to figure out where that
came from, but yeah. Organic Condom Mazda Drugs.
I don't know what that means. I don't either,
but... Out of Godzilla's Butt. Like it? Ovarian
Trolley. And Aussie beard spaghetti. I've never
seen Aussie with a beard. There's a couple of
pictures of him with a goatee, but not a beard.
I mean, he probably did, because that was the
style back then for a while. So, yeah, okay.
All right, let's run through the P's. We've got
some good ones here. First up, we have Pabst
Smear. Like my dream, Pabst Smear on the beach.
Painful Rectal Itch. That would be a good punk
name. That would be a great one. Paul Will Eat
Himself. Peace, Love, and Pit Bulls. Okay. The
Peanut Butter Conspiracy. I mentioned them earlier.
Yes, you did. They were actually a 60s kind of
psychedelic prog rock band. I can't believe I
never heard. Okay. Yeah. See, I was wrong about
the peanut butter conspiracy because I remember
hearing a techno pop song called Emo Sucks by
a band called the Peanut Butter Conspiracy. But
I tried to look it up and it's just not there.
There is a song called Emo Sucks, but it's by
somebody totally different. Is it something like
you remembered, but it was a little bit different
maybe? Yeah, it was on a podcast I downloaded,
and it was one of my favorite tracks, and I'd
listen to it over and over and over. And I know
it's called Emo Sucks. And I thought it was called
By the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, but apparently
not. Okay. Pepto -Dismal. I like that one. Peter
and the Test Tube Babies. I like that one. Pheno
Barbie dolls. That's good. Phlegm Fatale. Phlegm
Fatale. Another good one. Phone bill from hell.
Who the hell kept calling Kangaroo? The pissed
off postman. Oh, I like that one. Oh, yeah. Poo
on a stick. Oh, that's a good one. Poop shovel.
Okay, I like that one. Pontius Copilot. Pontius
Copilot. I didn't know we had a copilot. Those
are the ones I like the best where they just
modify a name. They modify a name in history
and go with it. Porn on the cob. That might be
my favorite. I don't know. That's just so good.
That is really cool. It can mean whatever you
want it to mean. Yeah. Yeah, that's like one
of those ones where it's kind of like, okay,
I can fit that in a lot of different angles.
Possum juice. Possum juice. I don't want to know,
but it sounds cool. Poultry in motion. Pretentious
flame dogs. Psycho sluts from hell. I've heard
of them. Public enema. I've heard of them too.
And pure bastard extract. I love that one. 100
% pure bastard extract. So tell me if you want
to keep going. Why not? These are good. We'll
do what are the next ones. Under the Q, there's
only three under Q. Oh, okay. Quasimodo and the
Unix. Okay. Queer Wookiee. And one that I've
heard of, Question Mark and the Mysterians. I've
never heard of that one, but I like that one.
It was a 60s band. Okay. I'm blanking on the
song, but there really was a song, there really
was a band called Question Mark and the Mysterians.
Okay, I like that. Yeah. Okay. You want to do
the R's and then we'll cut it there so we have
something next. All right. Under the R's, we
have Rainbow Butt Monkeys. And that's actually,
that was the original name of a band that you've
probably heard of, but I forget which band it
was. But they later went on to become something
else that you've probably heard of. Okay. Rebel
Without Applause. I think I've heard that. Yeah,
I think I've heard that. Hey there, slap nuts.
It's time for the Creeps Music News. During an
appearance on July 8th episode of SiriusXM's
Trunk Nation, Tony Omi spoke about some of his
upcoming music -related projects, including a
full -length collection of new material from
legendary Black Sabbath guitarist. Tony said,
as transcribed by Blabbermouth .net, But I'm
continuing next week to try to finish off when
I started with this album. And then who knows
what I'm going to do. It's great, really. Because
if something pops up, I'll do it if I want to
do it. Asked if his upcoming album is a Tony
Omi solo record with guests on it, like he's
done before with the legendary 2000s IOMI, the
guitarist responded, At the moment, no. I've
got one singer on it, which I originally thought
of different singers. But it started off as it
was going to be an instrumental album, and it's
gone from that into a full -fledged Tony Iommi
project. But then I thought, oh, wait, I want
to try it with a singer. So that's what I've
been doing. This is Johnny Rohypnol. That was
your music news. And remember, bar chords are
bullshit. REO Speed Dealer. And this is actually
a local band, Rhythm Method. Yeah. Yeah, a guy
I went to school with, Kenny Russell. I actually
auditioned for Rhythm Method once. I've actually
seen them before and opened up for other bands.
Yeah, I like them. They're good. When I auditioned
for him, their drummer was getting a divorce
and was going to have his kids every other weekend,
so he needed a drummer to fill in when he couldn't
play. I didn't get the job, but I heard later
that the drummer rearranged his visitation so
he could stay in the band full time. Oh, okay,
so they didn't end up getting anybody. Yeah,
he probably thought, I might get replaced here.
Just go ahead, I'll figure this out. The Rolling
Blackouts. And Ron's? Yes. I'm cracking up already.
Ronnie James deodorant. That one is fantastic.
I'm going to put a star by that one too. I want
to know how long ago they were out and if he
knew about that because it probably drove him
nuts. That's insane. You don't take my name like
that. Ronnie James deodorant. Don't take my name
in vain. Everyone in that band must die immediately.
Rubber Nipple Salesman. Okay. Rug Burns. Okay.
Rumpel Foreskins. And The Runs for the Z. Now,
I do remember a band called The Foreskins. That
was a local band. Yeah. It was the number four
and then S -K -Y -N -S. Yeah, I remember those.
But that didn't make the list here. Okay. Maybe
they never registered their name. They may not
have. I don't know. I do remember them, though.
Yeah. All right. That was excellent. We'll be
up for the S's next time. All right. How long
have we got on this one? An hour and 40. All
right. You want to keep going or you want to
go? Okay, let's keep going. Just a little more.
All right. Let's see. Don't figure out which
one to go next. Want me to talk about something
in the meantime? Yes, please. Okay. Recently,
I was watching a video about Magnetone amplifiers.
This is the one that Slash now endorses. In fact,
he's got a signature model of Magnetone. If you
look, there are a lot of musicians that are starting
to switch over to Magnetone. And I looked into
it and they are enormously expensive. I think
one of the cheapest ones you can get into is
around $1 ,200 to $1 ,500 to start with. And
I started wondering who can afford enough of
these amps that the company can stay in business.
Because, you know, you'll run into some people
who's like, well, I'm only going to have one
amp, and I'm going to save up until I get the
best, and I'm going to save up for this magnetone,
blah, blah. But that's not how you stay in business.
You stay in business by selling your amp to half
the people out there. Yes. Because just about
everybody who plays guitar probably played through
a Peavey at one point. Yes. Or owned one at one
point. Or owned one at one point, yep. But if
you've got these amps that are like... you know
they're like super cars or mega yachts or something
it's just like you sell very few and you have
to like make it before you can get one you're
not staying in business that way you're just
not you know even if i had that much money to
spend on a magnetone amp i would not because
i could buy four other amps for the same amount
of money and i'll get four amps yeah i know that's
true because they're just so expensive and seriously
i'm not i'm not bad picky on the sound. It's
not like I'm ever going to record or tour or
anything. I don't need my amplifier to sound
completely professional. There are other amplifier
makers that are kind of going that route of,
we're super expensive, we're super elite, and
you really made it if you could have our... you're
not going to get very big. It's doing the Harley
Davidson one where they try to categorize themselves
in a much higher bracket than what they should
be. And then five years from now, some other
amp maker is going to claim that spot, and you're
going to be done. You're just out the door. I
found some more bullet points. I got two of them
on this one, and I didn't even realize it. Yeah,
let's bullet me. All right. There's so many lyrics
that are just thrown in to fill a song. Is being
a lyricist overrated? Yeah. Yeah. Well, any lyricist
is overrated. I think so. A good one is not.
A good one is underrated. Yeah. But at the same
time, there are a ton of people who never pay
attention to the words. No, I know. That's true.
And that's another reason why they're overrated.
That's a good point right there. Yeah. And there's
so many people that, like, they know the song
and they can kind of sing along, but they have
no idea what the words are. They don't know what
it's about. And they don't really care to know
what it's about. I agree. And also, I remembered
something. I couldn't find these, so I come up
with a whole new set of bullet points. Oh, wow.
And then I found these. Excellent. Okay. Will
Alice Cooper have a huge send -off? I think so.
Like Ozzy? I think so, too, but I don't think
it's going to be like Ozzy's was that big. No,
I don't think so. I think Alice's is as big as
Ozzy was. No, no. I do think that he's going
to have a big send -off and it might be like
Madison Square Garden or something and like just
one big show and like everybody he used to work
with went on tour with or something like that
and you know his good friends like maybe Rob
Halford just shows up and yeah and you know he's
he's worked with Slash on a number of albums
he's worked with John Bon Jovi all sorts of people
I could see him doing it in Detroit because that's
his birth city. I think it'll be Detroit, yes.
That's his birth city, and he really likes Detroit.
He's always done a lot of memorable, important
things in Detroit. So I could see him going back
to his Detroit roots and having it there. I could
too. Okay, all right. Yeah, we're on the same
one. We think it'll be a huge sign -off. Not
as big as back in the beginning, but it's going
to be big. I think once Ozzy set the bar of here's
how you do a send -off, I think a lot of other
bands are like, oh yeah, we're doing that. But
they need to do their own version because if
they just copy Ozzy, they look pathetic. But
I think a lot of bands are like, yeah, this is
the kind of send -off we want to do. Yeah, I
agree. I'm still waiting for the concert video
to come out of Ozzy's send -off. I haven't seen
it yet. It was supposed to come out in January.
on theaters for like a weekend yeah i don't know
why they haven't heard a word about it no i haven't
either so maybe they decided not to because the
internet has all of that yeah i figured it just
went yeah who's going to come to the theater
when you can just oh you can see it on youtube
anyway or maybe him passing away had something
to do with it too maybe they're kind of like
it we don't really want to do it right now it's
a little too fresh plus they have to work out
getting all the rights releases for public appearance
and public performance is probably just a real
nightmare. Well, now that Ozzy's passed on, you
might get a lot of fans coming back going, no,
we want to cut now. Yeah. I can see that happening
too. All right. After Ozzy, would Alice be the
most beloved shock rocker ever? He would be up
there. I would say so. I would say so, yeah.
Kiss aren't really beloved in that way. Nobody
has a problem with him. Yeah. Yeah, Kiss isn't,
no. There's too much shit that happened. Ace
just recently passed away, but all the stuff
they said about him, said about Peter, the business
dealings, the part where the music they didn't
give a shit about. That's the thing about Kiss,
is they've never been shy about letting you know
they are businessmen running a business to make
money. Makes them less personal. Yeah, and they
don't care if you know it, and they count on
their fans to be adult about it. But with Alice,
it's always been about the fun. Yeah. Of course
he makes money, and you always make sure he makes
money. Yeah. publicly and out front it's like
this is about the fun and enjoying this you know
it's like going to a scary movie on a saturday
afternoon when you were 12 years old i agree
that kind of fun yes because that's alice used
to have fun doing that all the time that's kind
of how we wanted the stage show to be i agree
like a saturday matinee matinee double feature
of monster movies my only problem with him was
this and this is why i lost a lot of interest
in him i still love him but he really needed
to change his stage show up considerably, but
he never did. And I think it was working, so
he was like, we're just going to leave it. Realistically,
it's kind of the same thing that he started doing
back in 1966, 65 with his original band when
they were fresh out of high school. They had
spiders and spider webs and all sorts of creepy
stuff, and he's just refined it since then, but
it has never been anything different from that.
It has always been about the only big... Departures
from that was like the Welcome to My Nightmare
tour, where it was set up to be like a nightmare.
Yeah, yeah. And then the... Goes to Hell, didn't
he do? He didn't tour Goes to Hell. He was too
ill. The next album, Lace and Whiskey, he toured,
but he was playing the character of a 40s private
detective, which nobody was interested in. Okay,
yeah. Oh, well. All right, after Alice does his
final bow, will he still create music? I think
so. I think so, too. Yeah, I think he still wants
to get together with Neil, Dennis, and Big Mike
from his original band and put out stuff. I also
think he might do like Ozzy and did collaborations
with people he always wanted to work with, but
he never had the opportunity. That's true. He
almost never appears on someone else's material.
Other people appear on his. Yes. And I think
that's the way Ozzy was until, you know, his
last album, Patient Number Nine. Yeah, Patient
Number Nine. Yeah, yeah, yep. So I would say
that probably it would be something similar to
where, like, yeah, all right, yeah, let me go
ahead and just, you know, work with people that
I've always wanted to and don't care if it sells
or not, just fulfilling stuff towards the end
of your career. Coincidentally, there's an Alice
Cooper song called Public Animal No. 9, which
was a play on Public Enemy No. 1. Oh, yeah, yeah.
I remember that one. And the song was about being
the worst kid in high school. Yeah, and that
was during his less... That was on the School's
Out album, actually. Oh, was it on the School's
Out? Wow. Okay. It's been a while. He rarely
played it live. Yeah. There's a lot of songs
that I've never heard him play live. Oh, there's
so many of them that he doesn't. But he's kind
of like Ozzy did. There's the ones that worked,
and they stuck with him. At the end of the show,
I was the one guy, and probably you too, was
going, I want to hear Paranoid Iron Man. I want
to hear something different. But everybody going
there wanted to hear Paranoid Iron Man. Yeah,
I don't care if I ever hear Alice Play Schools
out again. No, me neither. Because he does it
in every concert. and then he started adding
it as a bonus track, a live version of it, on
a lot of albums. He'll put out an album, and
then he'll add like six or seven live tracks,
and it's like the same one, School's Out, No
More Mr. Nice Guy, Feed My Frankenstein, over
and over and over. So whoever's in charge of
that, they're starting to just recycle. There's
really not much new coming out. Tank's empty.
It's done. And the pictures I've seen of Alice
Cooper recently, he's growing a mustache. Yeah,
you told me that. Which he does every once in
a while during his career. He's grown a mustache,
and that's usually when the big transition is
coming up. Because when he was dumping his old
band and getting ready to go solo, he grew a
mustache. So there's a method to it. Yeah. Okay.
Because he can't wear a mustache on stage. It
ruins his makeup. No, he could not. So when he
grows a mustache, he's not planning on performing.
King Diamond did it, and it really made him look
stupid. All right, is all the creativity in music
diamond? Yeah. Yeah. All kinds of reasons. I
think there is still some creativity out there,
but we're not hearing it because whoever's producing
music is playing it safe. Well, this worked yesterday.
We're not taking any chances. It's just whatever
the formula says, that's what we'll do. Yeah,
I agree. It was fun when music was designed for
people who listened and paid attention and thought
about the music. Now music, for the most part,
is something that happens in the background while
you're doing something else. Yeah. Which is sad.
Yeah, it is. All right. If, yes, all creative
music is dead, which we both agree, is it because
of record companies? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's very
much something that needs to make money or else.
So nobody wants to take a chance. No one wants
to go out on a limb. Back in the 60s, it was,
hey, we're not sure what's going to work. They
didn't have algorithms and AI back then to figure
stuff out for them. All the experimentation was
so cool. They came up with all different types
of sound and music, whether they meant to or
not. Plus, recording technology was evolving.
And they were taking advantage of new techniques,
new abilities. Oh my God, that's a loud bird.
New distortions. Yeah, very much so. All right,
next one. Les Paul or Stratocaster? I'm definitely
a Les Paul guy. Me too. I have a Stratocaster,
but it's just not comfortable to play. It just
really isn't. A Stratocaster is too forward,
just sound. Yeah. It's great for something like,
you know, Richie Blackmore did really well with
it. Stevie Ray. Stevie Ray did really good. Yeah.
But that soulful, deep sound comes from a Les
Paul. Yeah, yeah. Now I've got a different guitar
that has the Strat scale length, but it's more
of a super Strat style. So it has otter pickups,
it's two humbuckers, it's got a more radical
design. It's a shredder's kind of guitar. I can
play that fine, so it's not the scale length
that bothers me, it's the Fender neck. The neck,
yeah. And then also my picking hand, I'm constantly
hitting the volume knob and turning myself down.
It's a piss -poor design. Yeah, well, if you
grew up playing SGs and Les Pauls, it's really
tough. But if I'd grown up playing a Les Paul,
I mean a Strat, then I probably would have gotten
used to it. But the place where my right hand
falls... to play an SG or a Les Paul, works out
great. But when I pick up a Strad, it's just
in the wrong place. I was going to ask this anyhow,
even though I don't have it on here, but an SG
or a Les Paul? Because I kind of figured you'd
go Les Paul like me. I'm going to say an SG.
I've been playing Les Pauls more recently, but
I love the SG. The SG has just got that sound.
I love it. It's just a little thin slab of mahogany.
And it's real bright and spanky, whereas a Les
Paul is a big, thick chunk of mahogany with a
maple cap. Yeah. And, yeah, I mean, the way the
SG feels in my hands is just so much better.
I just love it. I would agree. Yeah, I've got
two Gibson SGs and two Epiphone SGs. I think
you like the Gibson or the Epiphone. My two Gibsons
are pretty awesome. I've got one that's a 61
reissue. with the twin humbuckers, the 60s classic.
It's one of the models that Angus Young uses.
Okay. And I've got... Look at that sound. Yeah.
And I've got an SG Special, which is the two
P90 pickups and the wrap -around bridge. And
then my Epiphones, one is a G400 with a glued
-on neck. And it's a Silverburst, so it kind
of looks like I'm playing in Tool. Cool. I put
hot pickups in that. And then the last one is
the G310. So it has a bolt -on neck, which kind
of puts the neck in a different position. And
the guitar is heavily beat up. It's got a whole
bunch of extra holes drilled in it. And it kind
of looks like a street punk's guitar. And it's
got really, really hot pickups in it. DiMarzio
set when John Petrucci was endorsing DiMarzio.
The Crunch Lab and Liquifier. That's the pickups
that are in it. So it is a metal machine and
it looks pretty punk and I call it the guitar
that survived Y2K because it was made in 1999.
And I don't play that one very often but holy
cow you can get some monster high gain tones
out of that one. All right, who would be the
best keyboardist ever? Gosh, Ray Manzarek's got
to be up there from the doors. I'm a big Don
Airy fan. Yeah. John Lord. John Lord. Elton John,
actually. Yeah, Elton John. Let's see, the keyboard
player for ELO was a guy named Tandy. I liked
him a lot. Yeah. Oh, there's so many that I'm
just not thinking of right now. Yeah. Chester
Thompson. Yeah. Greg Raleigh. He played with
Journey and Santana. Oh, yeah. That's a great
example right there. One that most people haven't
heard of, I forget his name, but he was the keyboard
player for a Texas blues rock band called Blood
Rock, and his nickname was the Texas Tornado.
and he played a Hammond B -3, and he was probably
the best musician in that group. So old recordings
of Blood Rock from 68, 69, 70. Their one big
hit was a song called D .O .A. about a plane
crash. And then they had some others like Jessica
and Cheater that got some radio play, and I've
heard some bands do cover bands, but the only
one I remember hearing on the radio was D .O
.A. Okay. And it's sung from the point of view
of somebody who's waking up after the plane has
already crashed and trying to figure out what's
going on. Oh, wow. Yeah, and he dies before the
song ends. Oh, wow. And it was written about,
the singer actually wrote it about a friend of
his. When they were teenagers, they were taking
flying lessons, and the singer guy had finished
his, and he got on the plane, and his buddy got
in and took off and crashed almost immediately
and died. Oh, wow. So he kind of held on to that
and then eventually wrote the song DOA about
that. And people were like, oh, it's about a
drug overdose. Oh, it's sick. He's like, no,
it's not. Everyone always adds their own stuff,
I know. Next one. I love this question because,
gosh, there's so many, it's really going to be
hard to figure out. But just whatever comes to
mind, what band could have used keyboards that
didn't have them? Oh, good one. I always thought
Motley Crue could have used keyboards. Yeah,
definitely Motley Crue. I was tempted to say
Bad Company, but they did use piano a lot. Yeah,
I guess piano would qualify. Van Halen, but they
did. Rush, but they did. Gosh. Super Tramp. They
did. They had a keyboard player. No, they did
have one, didn't they? Yeah, Roger Hodgson. Or
no, Rick Davies, and he died recently. Yeah,
but, okay. Played the Wurlitzer. Gosh, other
than Motley Crue, who am I thinking? That's actually
a really tough one. It is. Maybe we could do
a list of each one on the next one. Yeah, I'm
going to write that down. Bands that need a keyboard.
Okay. That's going to take some research. Yeah.
All right. All right, next one. Will Motley Crue's
summer tour be a success? No. No, I think it's
going to flop. I don't see much success for Motley
Crue. I keep seeing things that indicate that
John 5 is trying to separate himself and get
away and restart something else. Well, he's doing
a solo tour, wasn't he? Yeah, pretty much. Rob
Zombie doesn't want him back. No. But not because
he's mad at him. He's just like, we've moved
on. We're happy with what we got. You wouldn't
fit anymore, so let's not do it. Yeah. Yeah,
and like he said, he's not mad at him or nothing.
He just moved on, and he likes the way he's going,
so he's not gruffling any feathers. He's like,
this works. It's like you're married to Val.
If one of your old girlfriends came by and said,
hey, you want to try again? You'd be like, no,
because it's way too late for that. Yeah, I'm
pretty good where I'm at. Go ahead and leave.
But that's what he is right there, the ex. Yeah,
and that really is a good analogy for bandmates.
It's kind of like a marriage of convenience.
You don't love each other, but you can make money
together. And then when it's done, they're like,
you know what, it wasn't that bad without him,
so we're going to go ahead and keep it. Yep.
Have Motley overstayed their welcome. Yeah, I'd
say so. Absolutely, 100%. And then some. Yeah,
I mean, in a way, I kind of put them in the same
category of bands that just really aren't putting
out anything new. They're just coasting on the
old stuff. Yeah, yeah. Like Coroner, REO, Rolling
Stones. There's no new music. And they could.
They could write music. They could come out with
new stuff. Other bands are doing it. They don't
want to. But they're just, eh, let's just coast
on all the old stuff. Yeah, they don't want to
put out the effort for the amount of money they'll
make on it, which is nothing. Yeah. Okay, and
finally, would a lineup of grunge bands with
replacement singers, since most of them are dead,
be a hit if they toured? Probably so. I think
so too. I think the nostalgia circuit is definitely
still pretty vital, pretty vibrant. I think they
could find one singer to do all of it if they
wanted to. But it probably wouldn't go very well
if the concert lasted four hours or something.
Yeah, that's true. I think that, like, replacing
the lead singers at this point in time, not back
then, but this point in time would be fine. Yeah.
Because people don't really remember them that
well now, anyhow. I mean, they might remember
Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley, but the difference
isn't there like it used to be. Yeah. When it
was fresh on your mind. Now people would be like,
oh, this guy sounds good. And there are a lot
of bands that have done just fine with replacement
singers. Yeah. Linkin Park, I noticed, is putting
out a bunch of new music that people love. So
it didn't matter that Chester Bennington killed
himself. At first it did, but then after people
got over it, like right now, I think that the
replacement singers in the grunge bands would
be fine. I've been hearing some more about the
Rush tour. They've got a new drummer, Anika Niles.
Yeah, she's really good. But what's disturbing
is they've announced they're adding a keyboardist
for the tour. That's right. I saw that. Yeah.
Is that to hide their age? Yes. Because Geddy
Lee is, and he can still play, but he's not playing
the way he used to. No. And his voice is really,
really fading. I mean, you remember the strong,
powerful vocals from... Yeah. I mean, 2112, of
course, the shrieking and stuff, but later albums.
He had to get away from that back then because
he was destroying his voice. But even the strong
vocals on Subdivision's album or... Which is
very underrated. Presto or Permanent Waves. He
can't even do that anymore. He's got a very weak,
breathy, kind of quavery voice. It's just nothing,
nothing at all like it used to be. No, nothing
like it used to be. So when you go to that...
Kiss tour, I mean Kiss, that Rush tour, for those
of you who are going, you're going to be probably
pretty disappointed at the quality of the vocals.
Rush toured with Kiss actually a long time ago.
Yeah, yeah. Okay, number one, he couldn't do
it back then because he had to move on from it,
so now he can't even do the stuff that he had
to do safe because he's 70 -something. But, you
know what, I mean... If they came by Kansas City,
I think I would go see them. Yeah. Yeah, there's
a tipping point between... I wouldn't buy the
tickets until the day of. Yeah. It's like, I
really like this band. I like their body of work.
Especially if you never got to see them before.
But you've got to balance that against they're
really not what they used to be. They're almost
like their own tribute band. They have to get
all these auxiliary musicians to help them out
because they can't do it anymore. It just starts
sounding really sad. Yeah, I agree. I'm not going
to criticize anybody who wants to go, but at
this point I really kind of don't feel like I
want to go. I mean, I've never seen Rush. It
would be awesome to see Rush, but without Neil
Peart and with extra people on the stage, it's
like I'm not seeing Rush. I'm seeing a tribute
band with a couple of original members. I guess
so. I don't know. I think mine's just nostalgia.
Just to say, yeah, I did go as Watered Down version,
but I still got to see two of them. And that's
just me. I mean, I like the original the way
it was supposed to be, and I really kind of don't
like remakes or revamped versions. And Neil Peart
was such a huge part of that band that it's really
hard to get around. But I do love their new genre.
Yeah. Yeah, I think they made a good choice with
her. They really did. She can do all the things
that she needs to do to sound good. I'm really
curious to see where her career goes after Rush.
Because Rush is going to quit and hang it up.
Rush is going to go from here. I don't know.
I mean, it's not like rock music is big. Yeah.
I don't know. I think Matt Cameron just... just
quit Pearl Jam. I think he's kind of over and
done. He's kind of worn out. Well, he already
said that. He said, like, we're not really doing
anything. He goes, we do some shows and stuff.
But he said, my creativity is just non -existent,
so I'll move on. What point is there in being
in the band if you really aren't getting anything
out of it? It's more like a scheduling conflict
that you're really not getting any enjoyment
from. Yeah, so he just, I agree with him, man.
He moved on. He's like, you know, it's just,
yeah, it's time to just go. He's an amazing drummer.
Just crazy. Yeah, and also he was very good in
the bands that he was in, too. I mean, you know,
he went to... Temple of the Dog and Soundgarden
and Pearl Jam. He's done some other stuff, too.
Yeah, and then he did some, not solo, but other
band fillings, too. But anyhow, yeah, Matt Cameron,
excellent drummer. All right, that's all I got.
Yeah. Yep, and I'm going to save the rest of
our band names for the next time. Okay, all right.
Well, I guess we're going to go ahead and shut
this shit show down. How long we got? Two hours
and six minutes. Oh, we got plenty. Yeah. All
right. Hey, everybody, thanks for hanging with
us and listening this whole time. We really,
really appreciate it. And you guys telling everybody
is just so nice of you. We can't express how
kind it is of you guys to do this and take it
to your friends about this show and having it
spread like it is. Yeah. We can't thank you enough
and go fuck yourself.
