1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,140 Welcome one and all to episode 370 of Signals from Mars. I'm your host Victor 2 00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:12,000 and for this episode I bring you the audio version of a recent livestream 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,320 where we discussed our favorite debut albums. Much like other episodes I had a 4 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,280 ton of people vote on what their favorite debut album was for all types of 5 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:33,520 hard rock and metal and beyond. Check it out next. I'm ready. Let's do it! 6 00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:03,200 Much like all the other episodes that use the same premise, livestreams, podcasts, 7 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,560 whatever that I do on Signals from Mars, I had people vote on their 10 favorites. 8 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:13,480 Those 10 are assigned points. Number 1 gets 10 points, number 2 gets 9 points, so 9 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,400 on and so forth down to number 10 which gets 1 point. I reached out to a lot of 10 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,840 different people on a lot of different platforms and I've even, you know, I've 11 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,280 posted about this on social media and it shows the importance of social media. 12 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:32,680 Folks, if you can, subscribe to the Facebook page or group, to Instagram, to 13 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,800 Twitter, X, however you want to call it, or any of the other social media platforms that I 14 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:44,680 do use in relation to the podcast. I'm updating the list on the website. It will 15 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,680 be updated within the next few weeks and it's important that you guys stay in the 16 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,520 loop because when it comes to voting for these things, I can only do so much with 17 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,200 touching base with people and some people respond, some people don't respond. 18 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,600 Not everybody wants to play podcaster per se, so it's one of these things 19 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,800 where I try to cast the biggest net possible, but sometimes it just isn't 20 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,240 possible to do something. And what I mean by that is reach out to absolutely 21 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,560 everyone who might be interested in taking part. And I get it, everyone's busy, 22 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,000 so not everyone either is in the know, has time, or even wants to be part of one 23 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,800 of these shows. So go to signalsfrommars.com, you'll find a one stop shopping 24 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,920 place for everything related to Signals from Mars, and that's any of the social 25 00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:40,160 media platforms, any place where you can subscribe to the podcast or watch the 26 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,760 live stream as it is taking place. Your voice is very important to me and I'm 27 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,600 not bullshitting you when I say that. There's a lot of shows that talk about, 28 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,360 oh you know my fans are great, but they end up ignoring them. You know, I've 29 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,400 known people that have reached out to me and said, hey you know I was on so and 30 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:01,160 so's Patreon and I was largely ignored. Why is it that some random person online 31 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,840 who isn't backing the show is getting recognition while I'm paying 20 bucks a 32 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,600 month and they've never mentioned me by name on the show. So I mean look, I try to 33 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,920 do the best that I can. I can't speak to what other shows do. I try to do the best 34 00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:21,640 that I can to give people the experience that I want myself. On Patreon I do what 35 00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:27,400 I can to try to do that. I try to give you guys new music to check out, new 36 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,800 music from bands you may know, bands that you may not have known in the past, and 37 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,440 again I'm trying to expand things and cast a larger net with various social 38 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,240 media platforms that I haven't tried out in the past. Come along for the ride, you 39 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,920 know, all you have to do is click on like or share with your friends or whatnot. 40 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,880 You know, I get it that Patreon isn't for everyone. If you're so inclined to spare 41 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,600 two bucks a month, please do so. If not, it's cool. Whatever you can do to support 42 00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:00,400 is greatly appreciated one way or the other. So I do want to thank everyone who 43 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,520 has been joining us during the live streams and those who are currently 44 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,360 patrons. I'm not gonna name everyone for this episode. I have another episode 45 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,960 coming out later this week. Just a lot of technical issues have stopped me from 46 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,520 putting out anything sooner. In any event, thank you guys. I appreciate you listening 47 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,200 and here we go with the show. 48 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:42,920 Welcome one and all to the December 15th, December 15th. Let me say that again. 49 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:51,960 December 15th edition of the Signals from Mars live stream podcast replay, 50 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:58,040 depending on when you are listening or watching this. This is an exciting 51 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:05,800 episode, an exciting concept. And I just want to mention this before I bring my 52 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:13,240 guests on the show, the Cavalier ish group, this Cavalier ish cavalcade of guests 53 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:23,320 that I have. This is a podcast. This is a show where your voice is appreciated and 54 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,360 heard. There are many other shows that claim to be about the people for the 55 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:35,720 people, so on and so forth. And they're full of shit. I actually have people vote 56 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,440 and we come up with these lists and we come up with these excellent discussions 57 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:50,200 and shows. And I hope that you guys enjoy what we have planned for you today. So 58 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:59,480 let me introduce our guests. Now we'll get on with it. From California, Mr. 59 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:09,080 Metal Dan. Greetings. The man that came up with the concept, Jeremy Welpman in 60 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:20,280 the UK. Good evening. All right. Sweden, Johan, I don't dare pronounce your last 61 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:29,880 name so that you don't laugh at me. Welcome to Signes from Mars. 62 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:37,160 You go. Hello to Sean Richmond, who is in the chat. Hope you're doing well, sir. 63 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:47,800 He voted as well. From the new home base of Yard Metal in Idaho, Mr. Brad Doll. 64 00:06:47,800 --> 00:07:05,800 Cheers. And joining us from Ireland, Anthony Mackie. Hey, good. Cool. So as I 65 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:13,880 mentioned off air, over 150 albums were voted for. This was the largest turnout. 66 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:19,720 I will say that I also shook a lot of trees this time around to get voting from 67 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:28,920 a lot of different social media platforms, from sites like Quora, from other 68 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:37,000 podcasters, from journalists, from people that span the gamut of just music, music 69 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,280 fans in general. I wanted to make sure that we had a good representation, that 70 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:50,200 there was a lot of stuff. There's a lot of stuff that people voted for. And 71 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:59,800 there are a certain amount of albums. The top 12 got a lot of votes. I will say 72 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:05,480 that. But they must be good, then. I think that they're all very good. And 73 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,400 there's a lot of stuff here that there's stuff that I need to check out. There's 74 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,840 other stuff that, as I mentioned, as I was setting up albums behind me, I 75 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:23,560 thought, wow, I didn't vote for this one. But would I have included it in my list? 76 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,480 Come to mind, over my shoulders, I have the first Down album, which I think is an 77 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:33,640 absolute classic. But that didn't make my list. It didn't make anybody's list. 78 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,400 Also the first Fight album, which I think is one of the greatest albums of the 79 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:43,880 1990s. That isn't on here either. That isn't among the 150 something albums 80 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:50,840 that were included. So without further ado, we are going to focus on the top 25 81 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,960 because that will take us plenty of time to discuss. There are some surprises in 82 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:02,920 here. I will say that. At least surprises to me. Maybe other people will say, 83 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:09,080 what do you know? Of course, that album should be there. But at 25, an album 84 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,880 that was huge back in the day when it came out, an album that still has songs 85 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:19,080 played off of it on the radio, probably newer, quote unquote, the album is 20 86 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:30,280 years old now. But it is Fallen by Evanescence. This got voted on by quite a 87 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:40,920 few people. And this is an album that I really think marked a difference in time 88 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:48,840 because it not only brought this band to the forefront, but it also brought a 89 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,960 style of music. Maybe it helped commercialize certain aspects of symphonic 90 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:59,400 metal, perhaps. The biggest track off of this, Bring Me to Life had some rapping 91 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,600 on it as well. So it was a mix of a lot of different things. It was the launch 92 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:13,160 pad for Amy Lee. And Say What You Want, I saw them in concert and I've seen them 93 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,440 blow away plenty of metal band on a festival bill. I was impressed by them. 94 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,680 But I think that this album is important because of that. I think it did mark a 95 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:30,680 before and after or whether people want to admit this or not, female fronted 96 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:40,680 bands and adding certain aspects of metal to pop culture, if you will. Anyone 97 00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:47,880 else want to mention something about this album? Okay, moving on then. 98 00:10:47,880 --> 00:11:00,040 We've got plenty to talk about. Yes, I always say this from Smokey and the Bandit, 99 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,320 we've got a long way to go and a short time to get there. That's what Snowman 100 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:19,480 would sing. That's true with all bands. Anyway, At 24, an album that Mr. Yardmetal 101 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:32,040 and I have been discussing offline. At 24, it's a self-titled debut by Boston. 102 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,600 This got voted on by quite a few people as well. And this was something that Brad and I talked 103 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:47,720 about because when I recently guested on the Ghost Cult podcast, Brad and I talked about other bands 104 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,320 that you can possibly say were the greatest American rock band from the 70s. And I brought 105 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,640 up Boston as being an example of maybe somebody that you could bring up. But 106 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,200 Brad, you brought up a good point. They really only had two big albums. I mean, the other 107 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,680 two, three albums that they've released over the years are nowhere near as big. 108 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:16,920 I mean, Mr. Schultz revolutionized how guitar was recorded. I mean, let's be honest with that 109 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:23,240 huge sound. He recorded everything at home. He didn't use any amps. So he left the mark. 110 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:32,520 But it was voted 24 as far as one of the most important debut albums. Anyone want to mention 111 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:40,040 something, Brad? You're shaking your head kind of. Yeah, yeah. Being at that time of my life in the 112 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,400 70s, I was quite the musical snob. And when this album came out, I was just like, oh, what is this 113 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:51,800 crap? And I was like, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going 114 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:58,280 to do rap. And everybody loved it. I mean, everybody at my high school, it was like Boston was 115 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:03,320 the best thing that ever happened. And of course, that probably rubbed me the wrong way as well. 116 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,080 Because it's like, no, no, there's other bands that are a lot more important that you don't even 117 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:14,520 know anything about. But the funny thing is the first time I ever listened to the whole album was 118 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:21,400 probably within the last year. OK.

324 00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:12,080 I am not the biggest Hendrix fan. 325 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,240 I appreciate what he did. 326 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,240 I think he's a pioneer for rock guitar, 327 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,240 but I cannot profess to be a huge fan. 328 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,760 So anyone wanna take this album on? 329 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,320 Yeah, I didn't actually vote for this at all, 330 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,440 but I do have a copy of it. 331 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,320 My auntie gave me a copy. 332 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,760 She bought it back in the day. 333 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,400 I think it was released probably around when I was born, 334 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,280 at 66, 67, around then, I suppose. 335 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,080 And it's got some amazing songs on it. 336 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,600 I mean, it's really, I think it's quite a tight album as well. 337 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,600 Some of the Jimi Hendrix stuff later on, 338 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,560 especially the live stuff could go on and on 339 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,360 and the guitar solos would be endless. 340 00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:02,760 But I think this one had some really shorter tracks on it 341 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,920 and all the hits really that you know him for. 342 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,520 So yeah, I think it's a great album. 343 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,520 All right, cool. 344 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,720 Moving on to 20. 345 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:23,200 I possibly may be the only fan of this album here. 346 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,400 Did I miss one? 347 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,880 I thought we were on 21. 348 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,920 Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, you're right. 349 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:30,760 Thank you. 350 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,120 Not my day. 351 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,720 All right, 21 is an album I know nothing about. 352 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,560 I know the band. 353 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,560 I know their Reptilish album, 354 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,800 which is probably their biggest album 355 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,920 because of a huge ballad that they had. 356 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,920 So perhaps this is a band that's been on Yarg Metal 357 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,000 a time or two, or if not, Jeremy can speak about it. 358 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,000 But the self-titled debut by the band from Florida, 359 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000 Florida, it is Saigon Kick. 360 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,040 Wow. 361 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,120 Brad, anything on this one? 362 00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:17,200 I actually don't have a lot on that. 363 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,040 Okay. 364 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:23,040 No, but yeah, I like what the Jason Bealers doing now though. 365 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,320 So. Okay. 366 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,200 Good. 367 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,840 Come on, anybody here vote for this one? 368 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,200 No, none of you guys did, but several other people. 369 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,240 Yeah, I know Mark Striegel was really in love 370 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,000 with this band, wasn't he? 371 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,000 Well, it's interesting because this band was voted on 372 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,560 by people that voted for a bunch of other rock bands 373 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,520 with a lot of melodies, which Saigon Kick is also known for. 374 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,000 I don't want to give too much away. 375 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,960 One of them is Cheap Trick, who is one of the bands 376 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,720 that was voted on, but we won't be discussing, 377 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,400 but another band we'll be discussing shortly. 378 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,400 And I don't want to give that away. 379 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,240 Okay. 380 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,240 So Jeremy, anything on Saigon Kick? 381 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,400 No. 382 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,240 Okay. 383 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,560 All right. 384 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:18,560 So see you later. 385 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,160 I could have skipped over 21. 386 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,800 All right. 387 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,800 So at number 20, it is over my shoulder over here. 388 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,720 It is Pretty Hate Machine by Nine Inch Nails. 389 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,960 This was an album that initially I thought, 390 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,960 what in the name of Sam hell is this? 391 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,640 I remember somebody that I was in high school with 392 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:56,480 brought this in. 393 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,080 I remember my late girlfriend had seen them at Lollapalooza 394 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,040 on the very first Lollapalooza. 395 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,720 And all these people were talking about Nine Inch Nails. 396 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,760 And I kept thinking of something that we referenced 397 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,640 during the Iron Maiden show, how Bruce Dickinson said, 398 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,080 you can't do heavy metal with keyboards. 399 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,080 Trent Reznor took Depeche Mode and took metal 400 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,160 and kind of fused it together. 401 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,040 He did it more so on the followup on the EP Broken. 402 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,080 But this was definitely to me a landmark album 403 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,280 because it broke open the floodgates 404 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,560 for a lot of industrial hard rock 405 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,360 and a lot of metal bands that came after. 406 00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:40,600 So this album belongs on here. 407 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,920 It did not make my top 10. 408 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:49,240 It was a late album that was pushed out of my top 10, 409 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,000 more so because I like a lot of other music 410 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,360 in their catalog more than this one, 411 00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:56,120 but I get why it's here and it does deserve to be here 412 00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:57,560 in my opinion. 413 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,280 So I don't know if anyone else wants to speak 414 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,640 about this album, if anyone else is a fan of it. 415 00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:07,440 All right, moving on. 416 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,840 No, that's fine. 417 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,760 I mean, this is a very different list of albums. 418 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,760 So at 19, an album that has been reissued, 419 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,640 I don't know how many times we've talked about this 420 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,440 during our Thrash special, 421 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,160 but it is the debut by Megadeth, 422 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:34,160 Killing Is My Business and business is good. 423 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,000 Anthony, you're saying yes. 424 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:42,000 Yeah, and you used the correct cover. 425 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,360 I don't know, was this on my list? 426 00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:47,760 I think it might've been. 427 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,760 No, I don't think it was actually. 428 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,480 I knew this would happen with this, 429 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,120 that I would see albums come up that I'd go, 430 00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:57,840 oh, right, I forgot about that, 431 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,360 because I was like, oh, I'm not gonna do this. 432 00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:01,200 I'm gonna do this. 433 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,040 I'm gonna do this. 434 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,120 I'm gonna go, oh, right, I forgot about that, 435 00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:07,240 because the first albums, 436 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,880 it's very easy just to go through your favorite bands 437 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,760 and pick their first album, 438 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,080 but sometimes that's not their best album. 439 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,880 And yeah, this is great. 440 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,080 I bought it at the time. 441 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,360 If I'd have thought of it, 442 00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:23,520 I probably would have put it in there, 443 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,640 but I didn't. 444 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,440 Yeah, for a lot of people, the common theme was 445 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,960 getting it down to 10 is hard, 446 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,320 because there's so many great debut albums. 447 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:41,320 I mean, for me, I think I whittled it down today to like 15, 448 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,000 and then like you're saying, Anthony, 449 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,120 as I said, all right, this is my 10. 450 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,120 I was like, oh shit, well, what about this other album? 451 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,280 Oh, what about this other album? 452 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,560 I forgot about this one. 453 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,160 So the list kept growing. 454 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,960 I'm like, no, I gotta get this done. 455 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,520 So I understand what you mean. 456 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,440 Anyone else on Megadeth? 457 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,240 Great debut album. 458 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,680 I bought it, of course, after I bought the pieces, 459 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:10,520 but who's buying? 460 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,520 So typical, but that one is good. 461 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,520 It's a bit strange sounding, but good one. 462 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,840 Even stranger after a bunch of solos got changed, 463 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,840 but it is what it is. 464 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,840 All right, at 18 is the other band that I alluded to 465 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,160 that a lot of people that voted for Cheap Trick 466 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:46,160 and Saigon Kick also voted for this band. 467 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,880 And I have a feeling I know who's gonna discuss this band 468 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:52,720 more than anyone else. 469 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,400 We have a resident expert on this band. 470 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,280 And I'm thrilled that this band is here. 471 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,120 It is at number, what did I say? 472 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,840 18, Kings X. 473 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:11,360 Very good. 474 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:13,760 Great. 475 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,120 I'm happy to see it there. 476 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,560 And it's a respectable position. 477 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:24,560 Several people voted for it, like I mentioned. 478 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,280 How does this album, in your opinion, 479 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,880 compare to what the band did after? 480 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,040 And how important do you think it is 481 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,960 in the grand scheme of things? 482 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:43,560 This album, sort of like most of these albums, 483 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,200 it just laid the blueprint for what was to come. 484 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,400 I don't think it's their best album, 485 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,880 but it was very important album. 486 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,040 Do you know what I mean? 487 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,640 And it sounded like nothing else at the time. 488 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,040 What was this, 80, 88, I think it was? 489 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:03,880 Right. 490 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,480 So you got 88 and they're downshifting. 491 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,560 And it was the first, I remember King was the first, 492 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,280 that dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. 493 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:20,280 It was like, I'd never heard a riff in, 494 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,200 kind of a drop D riff before. 495 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,640 It just stood out at the time. 496 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,440 They're hugely influential. 497 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,280 It's a good album. 498 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,480 I think they did better albums as they went on, 499 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:45,480 but this is, it has a few of their live staples in it. 500 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,960 It's a really good album. 501 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,200 It's a strange, weird sound as well. 502 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,600 It's a weirdly produced album, 503 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,000 but that's what another thing 504 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,680 that made it so unusual at the time. 505 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,040 The other thing with King's X2 506 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,560 is that as they were coming out with this 507 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,880 and Gretchen goes to Nebraska and what happened after 508 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,000 with the band, it was interesting 509 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000 because you could see all types of hard rock 510 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,720 and metal fans that were into this album and into the band 511 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,080 because you started seeing their t-shirts 512 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,320 on members of Anthrax, on members of Pantera. 513 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,600 So you saw a lot of bands that were a lot heavier than them 514 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,920 that were really into the instrumentation, 515 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,440 that were really into the melodies 516 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,000 that the band brought forward. 517 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,080 So they were mixing a lot of things 518 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,640 to the point where they probably don't get the credit 519 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,480 that they should. 520 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,440 I know that a lot of people say, 521 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,760 oh, well, they should have been bigger than what they were. 522 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,200 Yes, I agree with that. 523 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,480 But at the same time too, 524 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,400 they were doing stuff that was unique at the time. 525 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,600 Setting aside Galactic Cowboys and other bands 526 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,400 that tried to be them to an extent, 527 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,000 there were other bands that I think that they influenced 528 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,080 in other ways. 529 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,320 So I agree with you. 530 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,520 And I do think that this album should be there 531 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,280 because of its impact on the overall scene at the time. 532 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,080 I think it made a lot of other bands kind of take notice 533 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,560 and think about what they were doing. 534 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,120 Yeah. 535 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,520 Yeah, and it was a really transitional time. 536 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,960 It's like, this was how I remember getting into this. 537 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,640 Well, I got into Gresham first, 538 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,080 but I was aware of this album. 539 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,440 And hearing songs like Shot of Love, 540 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,120 and it was just so unusual. 541 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,040 It really didn't know what to make of it until years later. 542 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:43,880 Right. 543 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,520 And it was like, this was coming from Garden, 544 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,360 Faith and the More. 545 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:52,360 It was a real transitional time in rock music. 546 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:53,720 Yeah. 547 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,560 I am a mostly fan of the band. 548 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:58,920 And I was looking at this one. 549 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,880 Somebody mentioned Nebraska, 550 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,840 and that immediately triggered Gretchen Gozen Nebraska 551 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,400 every time probably for me. 552 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,520 And I was trying to weigh to myself, 553 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,920 which is my favorite album. 554 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,600 And I think this one is out of the side of my mind, 555 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,080 my favorite Kings X album as a whole. 556 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,040 I knew about it when it first came out. 557 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,160 I listened to it. 558 00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:22,080 It's the bass tone of Doug's, 559 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,320 probably the tone that if I wanted to be a bass player 560 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,240 anywhere, I would want to do his with the guitar 561 00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:30,520 and the bass, the way he's hooked up the two 562 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:31,880 and made this sound. 563 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,400 I dig it. 564 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,640 Cause the bass stands out. 565 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,080 So that's probably my favorite album out of the whole thing. 566 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,480 They went and I saw them in the beginning. 567 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,400 They were on tour with Fates Warning. 568 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,240 What a package. 569 00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:49,080 Fates opening up for Kings X in Orange County. 570 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:49,920 Wow. 571 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:50,800 Yeah, it was cool. 572 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,520 What a time to be alive. 573 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:55,680 Awesome. 574 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,280 Great. 575 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,600 Yeah, it's cool hearing all the bands 576 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,240 that are getting thrown in there 577 00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:04,720 and all this stuff that you mentioned, Anthony. 578 00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:07,400 I mean, it's very cool. 579 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,400 I mean, it's obviously different shades 580 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,640 of hard rock and metal. 581 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,640 And I think it's why that time period, 582 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,480 late 80s, early 90s, and even throughout the 90s, 583 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,920 a lot of people that poo poo that stuff. 584 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,600 It annoys me because I think that there's a lot 585 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,840 of great stuff that was still going on at that time. 586 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:32,240 Really before a lot of music kind of became homogenized. 587 00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:36,080 A lot of just like factory stuff being put together 588 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,800 and just thrown out there on the radio. 589 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,520 Anyway, we could talk about that for hours on end, 590 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,720 but we're here to talk about Day View albums. 591 00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:46,560 Keep it moving. 592 00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:49,760 My producer's giving me the sign in the background 593 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,080 to keep things rolling. 594 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:56,080 17, I think I know who's gonna talk about this one. 595 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,600 Diamondhead, Lightning to the Nations. 596 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:08,600 Mr. Weltman, I think that you probably have a word 597 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,400 or two to say about this one. 598 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,800 Yeah, yeah, I really, really love Diamondhead. 599 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,240 I always liked them from the start. 600 00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,600 I bought a couple of the singles when they first came out 601 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,000 and then this album I sort of went back to a little bit 602 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,960 because I think they produced it very early on 603 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,760 and there were very few copies originally. 604 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:31,040 It's been re-released since, sort of reproduced 605 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,760 and also re-played by the current band. 606 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,240 It's got a lot of their hits on. 607 00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:40,160 It's influenced Metallica as we know, 608 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,440 but it had a very different sound in the sort of new wave 609 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,800 of British heavy metal era than some of the other bands. 610 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,960 And they were sort of talked about as the next Led Zeppelin 611 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,000 which kind of probably did them in really, 612 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,280 because once you talk about that with any band, 613 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,520 they're never gonna have reached that level. 614 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:00,600 But they're a great live act 615 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,520 and they still play a lot of the songs off this album now 616 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,840 and I think it's great. 617 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,200 Excellent, anyone else on Diamondhead? 618 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,040 Yeah, I have to say that it's an album I hadn't listened to 619 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,440 till probably the last two years 620 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,680 and mostly because of Jeremy talking about it. 621 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:25,120 And it is really a good album, a very, very good album. 622 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,720 And I know recently we were driving in the car 623 00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,400 and something off of this album came on 624 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,280 and Nathan was with me and he said, 625 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,560 hey, is that Metallica? 626 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,800 I said, good ears. 627 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,000 It does sound like Metallica, doesn't it? 628 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,800 Hmm, curious. 629 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,120 Yeah, so if you like Metallica 630 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,160 and you don't have this album, 631 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,400 there's something wrong with you. 632 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,400 So. 633 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,400 There you go. 634 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,760 And for Edgar Winterson, 635 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,080 who from time to time is in the chat and says, 636 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:58,280 oh, it's definitely an American list. 637 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,440 This is gonna be the second 638 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,560 of three bands out of the UK mentioned. 639 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,960 So coming in at number 16, 640 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,320 you can say a lot of things about this album, 641 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,040 who recorded it, who didn't record it, 642 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,520 who was in the band, who wasn't in the band. 643 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:24,400 But at the end of the day, nevermind the Bullocks, 644 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:25,880 here's the Sex Pistons. 645 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:33,520 So who wants to tackle this one? 646 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,480 I can say a thing about that album. 647 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:44,360 I didn't vote for this one because 648 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,520 I think I thought it was punk rock 649 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,520 and outside the Cygnus from Mars, 650 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:58,080 Lane, but that album is really good. 651 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,880 I didn't vote for it, but that's a favorite 652 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:11,080 along with if we stay in that genre, 653 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,480 it's Ramone's first album. 654 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,640 So good one. 655 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,960 That's a really good first album. 656 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,800 Subvision, I remember Subvision. 657 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,520 Submission. 658 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,920 Submission, yeah. 659 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,560 It was great. 660 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:35,400 Yeah. 661 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:40,400 So see that, Brad busting out his punk cred. 662 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,080 First he tells us that he was in a 663 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,840 social distortion cover band, 664 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,880 and now it turns out that he's schooling us 665 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:50,920 on the Sex Pistons. 666 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:51,960 Who would have known? 667 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,240 Who knew? 668 00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:55,560 Who knew? 669 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,400 Here you go. 670 00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,720 Full of surprises. 671 00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:05,720 All right, at 15, an album that I am so happy is on here, 672 00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:10,280 because time after time, Sean Richmond is in the chat, 673 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:11,720 at least he was before. 674 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,040 Sean voted for this one. 675 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,440 Time after time, there's one person that is on screen 676 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,360 who always votes for this band, 677 00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:28,240 and the planets have never aligned until now. 678 00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:30,120 At number 15, 679 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,800 script for a jester's peer from Marillion. 680 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,280 Oh, Marillion. 681 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,480 No way, I'm very surprised it got this high. 682 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:46,320 Even though- 683 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,920 Beat that to Sex Pistols, Marillion. 684 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,080 Yeah, proper order. 685 00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:54,680 I'm sure my votes were quite high, 686 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,480 probably nine or 10, maybe, I don't know. 687 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:58,320 Can't remember. 688 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,160 But yeah, like, you know, what can I say? 689 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,000 I love it. 690 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:04,800 Love it. 691 00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:08,520 First album, and it's the first album I heard by them. 692 00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:13,720 And, you know, that changed the course of my life. 693 00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:17,960 How different was it for you compared to what you were 694 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,440 listening to at the time? 695 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,800 It was fairly different. 696 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,800 Fairly different, let me see, I probably bought it in 84. 697 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,760 I think their second album was out. 698 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,440 I bought it purely because it was a picture disc, 699 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,560 and I didn't have a picture disc before, 700 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,040 and it's got a kick-ass cover. 701 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,960 And I had heard Garden Party, I think, maybe Top of the Pops. 702 00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:49,760 So, and I'd seen them in crying, 703 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,680 so that was the seal of approval. 704 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,280 Like, okay, they're in crying. 705 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,680 I like whatever's in crying, I'm gonna like this. 706 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:02,680 So I bought it, and put it on, and it was just so different. 707 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,760 But back in those days, you know, you bought something, 708 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:13,280 you had invested money in it, so I was gonna listen to it 709 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,640 over and over again, and that's the kind of music, 710 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,520 that style of listening pays off. 711 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,720 And by the time you're on your fifth listen, 712 00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:26,600 and you're 14, it becomes everything. 713 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,280 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 714 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,440 I've had that discussion many times, 715 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,440 how the difference between streaming something 716 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,760 to actually owning it, where if you stream something, 717 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,920 and a lot of people at the first try, you know, 718 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,400 they don't like it, that's it. 719 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,680 They'll never give the album another shot. 720 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:49,400 But if you spent X amount of money on an album, 721 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,200 you're like, I need to like this, 722 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,760 because I invested money into this. 723 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,320 Yeah, it becomes embarrassing, you know, 724 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,280 oh my God, I spent a tenner on, 725 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,280 well, I don't know what it was back then, 726 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,200 I think it was like six pounds or something, 727 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,320 I bought it in England. 728 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,960 So, you know, I wasted money. 729 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,800 I'm gonna give it my best shot. 730 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,840 Yeah, so there you go. 731 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,240 Sean is saying that he is here. 732 00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:19,840 Sean, Anthony, you guys helped get this on the list. 733 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,560 There's a few others that voted for it as well. 734 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:28,120 So, Jeremy, anything Marillion? 735 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,320 Yeah, just that that particular album 736 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,920 has Forgotten Sons on it, which is an amazing song. 737 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,480 I really love that song, I think it's brilliant. 738 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,760 Yeah, plus they were sort of, you know, 739 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,280 they were a prog rock band, 740 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,480 but they weren't so proggy as, you know, 741 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,080 band like Yes or whatever. 742 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,760 They had really good melodies, 743 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,440 they had proper songs that you could really 744 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:47,800 get your teeth into. 745 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,160 And I think that's why they became really successful. 746 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,480 So it took on the Genesis vein, you know, at the time, 747 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,680 and pushed it on in a different direction. 748 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,040 That amazing voice by Fish, incredible. 749 00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:03,920 Which is probably why they rumored that Fish 750 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,200 was gonna be the one replacing Phil Collins 751 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,120 for how long in Genesis, 752 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:09,920 and that never ended up happening. 753 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:10,760 So. 754 00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:14,560 Yeah. 755 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:15,720 Yeah, interesting thing here, 756 00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:18,680 this album charted seven in the UK. 757 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,320 In Sweden, it was 42, it was as high up as it got 758 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,440 in the charts. 759 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,040 In the US, 175. 760 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:28,880 There you go. 761 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:29,720 Not bad. 762 00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:31,760 That's why we didn't know anything about it, okay? 763 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,320 I mean, it just, it didn't make any waves over here. 764 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,640 This album was huge. 765 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,160 Like it was. 766 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,320 Yeah, seven, I mean, that is huge. 767 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:43,800 Like this is their first album, 768 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,680 and on this tour, they were doing like, what? 769 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,280 Three Nights in Hammersmith Odeon or something, 770 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,240 and they were second on the bill at Reading Festival. 771 00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:54,920 Like that's, I know in England, 772 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,360 they like to jump on new bands, 773 00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,200 but they really, they really were big. 774 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,240 Yeah, but also because it was the style of band. 775 00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:04,800 I mean, this is a country where Pink Floyd 776 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,360 are a massive band, you know? 777 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,880 So if you've got a lot of people who like that kind 778 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,560 of music, very proggy rock, you know, 779 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,960 and have a, there's a real tradition of it here. 780 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,000 Yeah, that's a good, that's a very good point, Jeremy. 781 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,120 A lot of people, I think, forget about that, 782 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,600 forget about the fact that with how huge Pink Floyd is, 783 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,000 that they're actually a very proggy band, 784 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,840 and we're used to hearing them on the radio all the time 785 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,800 on rock radio anyway. 786 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:38,800 So Sean is saying that he has the picture disc as well. 787 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:41,640 All right, so. 788 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:45,520 All right. 789 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:46,360 Sorry, sorry, go on. 790 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,160 Go ahead, what were you saying, Anthony? 791 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,080 No, I was just saying I still have it. 792 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:51,920 Oh, okay, cool. 793 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,400 All right, so at 14, an American band, 794 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,400 but it was voted on mostly by people that are in UK 795 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,600 or Ireland, so this is kind of interesting. 796 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:14,640 So at 14, we have the self-titled debut by Montrose. 797 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,000 So I found that. 798 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:22,840 That's a little close to me. 799 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,520 Yeah, well, there were other people that voted for this, 800 00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,640 and I was like, wait a second, California band, 801 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:34,640 and the world's introduction to Sammy Hagar as well. 802 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,520 But Jeremy, you had this on your list. 803 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,160 Yeah, it's the only Montrose album 804 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,320 that is actually worth listening to. 805 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,480 That's the first thing to say, 806 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,480 because after that, they didn't produce anything 807 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,520 particularly great, but it actually has quite a few 808 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:59,520 of the staples that Sammy Hagar went on to play 809 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,520 in his solo career. 810 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,120 It's got Rock the Nation on it, it's got Bad Motor Scooter, 811 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:07,800 it's got Space Station Number Five, 812 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,000 and I got The Fire as well. 813 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:11,840 So it's... 814 00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:16,120 No, I got The Fire as the second album, Paper Money. 815 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,200 Sorry, you're right. 816 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,040 Yes, I stand corrected, yeah, I went too far. 817 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,480 Anyway, I have played almost every one of these songs 818 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,120 off this album in a band at one time or another. 819 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,560 So yeah, I know this album backwards and forwards. 820 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,960 So yeah, it's a great album. 821 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,600 Yeah, I think it's a really rocking album, it's good. 822 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,960 Yeah, Rock Candy was one of the first songs 823 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,920 I learned to play on the bass, actually. 824 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,520 All right, anyone else on Montrose? 825 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,560 All right. 826 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:50,400 It's a great album. 827 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,160 If you don't own it, you need to get it. 828 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,200 The next one, I think is gonna throw a wrench 829 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,280 in a lot of people's works here. 830 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,800 But this was another band where... 831 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:03,680 A Spanner. 832 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:08,680 I can remember hearing their first single 833 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,880 and thinking, what the hell is this garbage? 834 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,920 And I remember getting up for work every morning 835 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,040 at four o'clock in the morning, 836 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:22,560 and MTV was playing the video for this. 837 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,360 And I'm thinking, first of all, 838 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,280 it was one of the only videos that they were playing. 839 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,400 It was the only rock-like video. 840 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,760 So after about a week of hearing this song every day, 841 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,200 it started getting in my head and I got into the band. 842 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,800 So I think that this is a huge landmark album as well. 843 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,800 It is the self-titled debut by another California band, 844 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,920 this time out of Bakersfield. 845 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:51,240 Corn. 846 00:48:51,240 --> 00:48:52,080 Corn. 847 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,440 How'd you know that, Brad? 848 00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,080 Well, because how many bands are out of Bakersfield? 849 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,040 There's a few, but they're the... 850 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:02,880 Really? 851 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:03,720 Yeah. 852 00:49:03,720 --> 00:49:04,560 Oh, wow. 853 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,920 Yeah, I think they opened the door for a bunch of others. 854 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:08,760 Okay. 855 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:10,280 All right. 856 00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:13,880 Are you versed in corn, Brad? 857 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:14,720 No. 858 00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:16,800 No, I just eat it once in a while. 859 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:17,640 Okay. 860 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,520 I was thinking maybe you were gonna all of a sudden 861 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,280 surprise us and say that you detune like Fieldie 862 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,160 and sometimes decide to play with the bass down 863 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,240 and around the level of your shins. 864 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:30,040 No, no. 865 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:32,880 No, yeah. 866 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,200 I kind of have a little respect for him being different 867 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,320 in everything as far as his tone and that, 868 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,120 but yeah, that's nothing I've strived for in my bass line. 869 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:43,960 Okay. 870 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:48,400 Yeah, this album really much set the table for new metal, 871 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:53,400 brought in aspects of hip hop and rap that were being used 872 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:59,120 and they actually used instruments to do a lot of the effects 873 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,760 that people were doing in samples and using keyboards 874 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,240 and stuff like that. 875 00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:06,720 It was really eye opening for a lot of people. 876 00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:07,560 They started a movement. 877 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:12,560 I think like every other movement in any genre of music 878 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:17,560 I think the waves A and B are usually pretty good. 879 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,280 Once you get to levels, waves D, E, F, 880 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,280 things start to suck and beyond that, it's just horrible. 881 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,280 But I think that again, another band that marked 882 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,680 a before and after with what they did. 883 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:38,960 So at 12, I think you could say something similar 884 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,680 about this band. 885 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:45,680 Specifically given what a monumental unit they were 886 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,520 and I think with them carrying on the name 887 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:58,520 and the band to this day with two main components missing 888 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,520 is definitely driving that point home for me. 889 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,520 Jeremy, we spoke about them the other day. 890 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:09,520 It is Queen. So let's see here. Queen is a band that, 891 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,920 Jeremy and I talked about the other day at length. 892 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:21,440 We talked about their whole catalog, which is similar 893 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,640 to what we discussed before where maybe they were 894 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,160 playing in the same band. 895 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,160 So I think that's a good example of what they were doing. 896 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,160 And I think that's a good example of what they were doing. 897 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,520 What we discussed before where maybe they're in Queen's case, 898 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,520 it probably wasn't until their third or fourth album 899 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,520 where they kind of came into their own. 900 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:45,520 But I don't think you can deny the power that the band had, 901 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,720 what Freddie's voice was like. 902 00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:51,960 Freddie's voice is the, when they, people say that 903 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,560 the voice is another instrument. 904 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,360 Freddie's voice was another instrument. 905 00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,320 It was something very different, especially at that time, 906 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,440 what they did with layering his vocals, 907 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,680 what they did with a lot of different things. 908 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,520 Whether you want to talk about, oh, well, 909 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,520 they were just a pop rock band. 910 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,840 Listen to the Prophet song off of this. 911 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,160 It has some pretty heavy riffs on there. 912 00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,480 Listen to Modern Times Rock and Roll, 913 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:22,280 which is something that maybe could go ahead 914 00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:27,280 and influence stuff like Metallica afterwards. 915 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,360 We know that they did Stone Cold crazy, 916 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,000 but a song like Modern Time Rock and Roll, 917 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,720 which had Roger Taylor on vocals, 918 00:52:33,720 --> 00:52:36,800 is a fast straight ahead two minute song. 919 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,720 So I think that it opened doors 920 00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:42,280 and changed a lot of things as well. 921 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:46,320 It wasn't them, they hadn't perfected the recipe yet, 922 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,360 but it was a great starting point. 923 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,160 Anyone else want to mention something about this album? 924 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,440 All right, let's see. 925 00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,520 Sean is chiming in in the chat. 926 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,400 He is saying got the Megadethon picture disc 927 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,120 with the cover shown by Victor. 928 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,480 All right, I've seen that before, actually. 929 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,320 He's saying he never heard of Montrose 930 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,520 and he didn't expect the Queen album on here, 931 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,720 but I do have it and like it. 932 00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:20,320 This album, surprise, surprise, 933 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:25,320 especially from a bunch of journalists that chimed in, 934 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,880 actually voted for this one. 935 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,320 I'll need to listen to it. 936 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:34,560 You've never heard this? 937 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:36,600 The first Queen album? 938 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,120 No, parts of it, but not the whole thing. 939 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,520 Have you seen Queen in a closet somewhere? 940 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:49,080 No, but I remember in the mid 70s when they came out, 941 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:50,680 there were people like, hey, you got to listen 942 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:54,840 to these guys and I probably would put on a Watt album 943 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,640 and I was just like, I don't know. 944 00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,280 It's just not grabbing me. 945 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:00,280 It's not doing it for me. 946 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,200 So of course that was during my snobby time. 947 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,200 I was gonna bring up that snobbish period. 948 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,200 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 949 00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,080 You really had to work hard to break through to me 950 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,240 and in my teenage years. 951 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:18,600 All right, so moving forward to number 11, 952 00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:23,600 a band that a lot of people associate with being 953 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:31,840 from down under, but their roots are in the UK. 954 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:38,240 Is there any actual member of ACDC that is from Australia 955 00:54:39,240 --> 00:54:41,880 who wasn't actually born in the United Kingdom? 956 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:46,880 So at number 11, it is High Voltage from ACDC. 957 00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:53,240 Was Bon born in Australia? 958 00:54:53,240 --> 00:54:54,240 I'm not sure. 959 00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:55,720 I can't remember. 960 00:54:55,720 --> 00:54:57,320 I thought he was born in Scotland. 961 00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,040 He was, yeah, yeah, yeah. 962 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:00,840 I know the youngs were anyway. 963 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:01,680 Yeah. 964 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,160 He's born in the United Kingdom in Orfar. 965 00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:12,160 So, all right, anyone wanna talk about High Voltage? 966 00:55:15,720 --> 00:55:16,560 Yeah, sure. 967 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,320 High Voltage is amazing. 968 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:24,320 It's amazing how many times you can listen to it 969 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,840 and not get bored of it. 970 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,640 I think it's amazing how many times 971 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:38,640 you can listen to it and not get bored of it. 972 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:45,640 I've discovered that when, in the early years of my son, 973 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,920 my first son, we used to listen to it a lot. 974 00:55:50,720 --> 00:55:53,920 Yeah, so look at it. 975 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:55,800 What more can you say, ACDC? 976 00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:58,720 Excellent. 977 00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:00,440 Okay, anyone else? 978 00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,360 High Voltage album also TNT. 979 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,120 They brought out the two at the same time, didn't they? 980 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:06,520 In different parts of the world 981 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,520 and there's a couple of tracks that are different or whatever. 982 00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:14,520 Well, the High Voltage that we now know to be High Voltage 983 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,280 was a mixture of the cover, 984 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:23,200 the High Voltage that Victor just put up and TNT. 985 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,320 Right, yeah, yeah. 986 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:26,640 Okay. 987 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,360 Yeah, and it was not released in the US 988 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,680 until I don't know how many years later. 989 00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,680 A lot of the early ACDC, I think, 990 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:47,280 nothing before Dirty Deeds was released in the States 991 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,240 until Dirty Deeds came out, 992 00:56:49,240 --> 00:56:53,600 until Dirty Deeds hit the radio and became big. 993 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:58,600 That's when, and even the 74 Jailbreak EP, 994 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,280 that was released in the 80s. 995 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,800 That was never released in the US in the 70s. 996 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:08,320 All right. 997 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:10,040 Sorry. 998 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:10,880 No, go ahead, go ahead. 999 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:15,600 The High Voltage that we know and love now, 1000 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,080 it's the mixture of the two albums 1001 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,760 and it's better than the original version, 1002 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:26,480 but it's not their first, this wasn't their debut. 1003 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:30,040 So, right, there's a technicality there. 1004 00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:32,600 Okay, cool. 1005 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,360 Yeah, I think we should throw it out. 1006 00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:40,360 All right, so at number 10, 1007 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,560 we have another band from California, 1008 00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,840 originally from Huntington Beach, I think. 1009 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:54,840 Let's find out. 1010 00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:55,840 Let's find out. 1011 00:57:55,840 --> 00:58:00,840 I could be wrong, although their drummer is from Denmark. 1012 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:03,240 Ooh. 1013 00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,040 So at 10, Kill'em All, Metallica. 1014 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,640 Johan, anything on Kill'em All? 1015 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,000 Never heard it. 1016 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:14,840 No. 1017 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:15,680 No. 1018 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:18,520 No. 1019 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:19,360 No. 1020 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:20,200 No. 1021 00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:21,040 No. 1022 00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:21,880 No. 1023 00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:22,720 No. 1024 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:23,560 No. 1025 00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:30,760 Actually, I think that it's a proper placing of that album. 1026 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:37,320 It's a classic, of course, but there's so many good albums 1027 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:41,880 in front of that album. 1028 00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:46,880 So, but Kill'em All is good, I would say. 1029 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:58,840 I would say from now on or from it's all 10 out of 10 albums I guess. 1030 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:05,480 So let's hope so. 1031 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,120 Let's see if everyone agrees on that. 1032 00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:12,880 As it should be. 1033 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:21,920 Yeah, these all got voted from the Queen album up. 1034 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,400 12 up are the ones that got the bulk of all the voting. 1035 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:34,420 They all appeared or not all of them, but most of these albums appeared on everyone 1036 00:59:34,420 --> 00:59:35,420 who voted's list. 1037 00:59:35,420 --> 00:59:38,080 At least one of them appeared someplace. 1038 00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:39,080 Yeah. 1039 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:40,080 All right. 1040 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,000 All right. 1041 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:49,880 Okay so anyone else on Kill them all? 1042 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:50,880 All right. 1043 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:55,520 Moving on then at number nine. 1044 00:59:55,520 --> 01:00:01,400 An album that reintroduced somebody to the world of music. 1045 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,480 I think a lot of people thought he was down and out. 1046 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:15,840 And then he pondered upon or found someone who's known for polka dots and bow ties and 1047 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:23,160 vests and Brad knows exactly who I'm talking about. 1048 01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:33,440 It is Ozzy Osbourne, Blizzard of Oz, the cacophony of Ozzy with Randy Rhoades. 1049 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:37,840 Brings us to number nine. 1050 01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:43,600 Brad this to you was your number one. 1051 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:49,520 It's my number one. 1052 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:53,720 This album is, I mean not only was it huge and it still lives today. 1053 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:58,600 I mean so many of those songs you can barely go throughout a day anywhere in public and 1054 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,960 not hear crazy train. 1055 01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:09,720 So I mean not just for me personally this album I mean it saved Ozzy and I think it 1056 01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:16,580 really did a lot for music at that time for metal and for making it much more popular 1057 01:01:16,580 --> 01:01:20,000 and probably helping a lot of other bands along the way. 1058 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:25,960 Because I mean let's face it man when Ozzy was kicked out of Sabbath I don't know that 1059 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:30,240 anybody really expected him to do anything. 1060 01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:36,400 And this album was just when I again dropped the needle on this thing I was like holy crap 1061 01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,160 this is something special. 1062 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:40,840 And the album is. 1063 01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:42,320 That's why it was my number one. 1064 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:49,560 I think I've listened to it a lot and still love it. 1065 01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:54,600 And I think you know for so personally for me it's number one but I think you throw on 1066 01:01:54,600 --> 01:02:01,560 the historical aspect of it and what it did for music what it did for Ozzy what it didn't 1067 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:08,640 do for Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake. 1068 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,520 But it's a great album. 1069 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,920 So that's why it ended up number one for me. 1070 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:22,360 Yeah and I also think that a lot of people always talk about how much of an influence 1071 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:26,480 Tony Iommi had in Sabbath. 1072 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:32,640 But I think Randy Rhoads has a huge influence on what players did afterwards. 1073 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,800 I think it's a shame obviously. 1074 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:40,840 For not mentioning that either because I mean I know so many people that have named their 1075 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:48,880 kids after Randy you know some aspect of that and and well guitar players. 1076 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:53,760 I mean one of the guys I'm playing with tomorrow night you saw his one guitar. 1077 01:02:53,760 --> 01:03:00,560 Well he actually has quite a quite an armory there with Jackson V's and custom made Randy 1078 01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:01,560 V's. 1079 01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:06,280 So I mean yeah there's hard to find a lead guitar player who's not influenced by Randy 1080 01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,280 Rhoads. 1081 01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,600 And this album. 1082 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,720 This album is huge. 1083 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:20,680 And I think that this album especially you listen to Revelation Mother Earth that whole 1084 01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,480 acoustic intro. 1085 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:31,120 I think if you talk to Eric Peterson of Testament, Kirk Hammett you know a lot of these thrash 1086 01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:37,800 players that started incorporating acoustic passages in their songs as intros. 1087 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,480 You know you think of a song like Battery by Metallica. 1088 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:49,000 I think it's directly influenced by Randy and and that specific track. 1089 01:03:49,000 --> 01:04:01,440 So all right moving on at number eight. 1090 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:05,800 It is the self-titled debut by Kiss. 1091 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,360 Anthony Mackie is laughing. 1092 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:09,360 Much to his chagrin. 1093 01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:13,480 It had to happen. 1094 01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:18,480 I almost made this my number one just for my personal like I said it's the album that 1095 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,560 taught me to play bass. 1096 01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:24,520 And but yeah you guys have listened to me enough today. 1097 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:27,840 So anybody else want to talk about this album? 1098 01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,360 No? 1099 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,840 Yeah I think it's a fantastic album. 1100 01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,120 There's some really cracking songs on it. 1101 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:40,880 There's songs in there that you know the band play regularly in their set list. 1102 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,200 It was released what in 74. 1103 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,960 So it's quite an old album. 1104 01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:51,160 And it's you know it's I think it's just fantastic. 1105 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,160 I think it's one of their best albums to be honest. 1106 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:59,440 And I often read about this album by people critics who say oh it's not their best album 1107 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:00,440 you have to wait. 1108 01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,160 They they got much better in the in the later career. 1109 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:08,160 But if you go back and listen to it really sets the stall out as what Kiss was at the 1110 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:13,640 time you know the the songs are just very catchy. 1111 01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:18,920 And it's got probably my favorite song that opens it up Shutter which is just amazing. 1112 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:22,120 That's a great song. 1113 01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:23,800 Yeah. 1114 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:33,120 To your point when somebody posted their top 10 Kiss albums and they were asking for people 1115 01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:39,880 to vote on it or whatever they mentioned Alive as their number one. 1116 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,040 And I said that's kind of a bullshit move. 1117 01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:46,720 I'm like you're picking a live album as your favorite Kiss album. 1118 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:51,440 Well that's when they came into their own and you know this sounds more true to them. 1119 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:52,440 I said OK fine. 1120 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:56,200 And I get it that they re-recorded the album in studio. 1121 01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:03,920 But the original blueprint is on the you know on the self-titled debut as you're saying 1122 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:08,120 Jeremy songs like Strutter and Deuce and Black Diamond. 1123 01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:14,320 You know these are songs that they played all the way up until the end. 1124 01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,920 And to me they're they're cool songs. 1125 01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:21,000 I mean I think Deuce is one of the greatest things they ever did. 1126 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,640 So yeah. 1127 01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:29,400 There's you know and at the end of the day I think either get it or you don't. 1128 01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:30,480 That's cool too. 1129 01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,400 So that's fine. 1130 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:41,360 Number seven moving on a band that has borrowed a lot from Kiss over the years a tremendous 1131 01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:49,560 amount for makeup to saying that they were never going to do meet and greets to platform 1132 01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:51,760 shoes to everything else. 1133 01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:56,240 Not everything but a lot of stuff. 1134 01:06:56,240 --> 01:07:01,800 Too fast for love by Motley Crue. 1135 01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:09,520 And this is funny because when I mentioned this to somebody they said you know a lot 1136 01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:13,560 of bands have put out great debut albums. 1137 01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:15,040 Well Motley Crue didn't. 1138 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:18,880 And I'm thinking are you serious. 1139 01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,920 You know my first train of thought was OK. 1140 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:28,280 I get it that you might say that shout at the devil is better but I would have a hard 1141 01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:34,880 time positioning anything else that they've done over too fast for love. 1142 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:41,280 I listened to this album recently and as raw and as undercooked as the album is it's part 1143 01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:46,040 of the beauty of this album and it has great melodies on it. 1144 01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:53,320 It's got Mick Mars doing some fucking ridiculous guitar solos on it. 1145 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,600 The band is on fire. 1146 01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,800 Nikki was literally on fire on stage. 1147 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:06,480 But you know this is this was such a statement made by this band and that's why I always 1148 01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:13,880 have a hard time with them bitching about oh oh so many bands copied us after. 1149 01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:19,560 But you guys kind of copied yourselves and kind of became a parody of what you were because 1150 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:23,120 they never touched these first two albums again in my opinion. 1151 01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,080 It's just my dumb opinion. 1152 01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:30,200 But there's just something raw and magical about this album. 1153 01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:31,480 It's the perfect storm. 1154 01:08:31,480 --> 01:08:33,880 It was a perfect launching pad. 1155 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:43,400 So anyone else want to say something about too fast for love. 1156 01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:49,680 Yeah sorry Brad. 1157 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:56,000 I bought Shout of the Devil first. 1158 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,640 My Shout of the Devil is magical. 1159 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:10,240 But when I heard this album I was a bit confused at the first couple of listenings but after 1160 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:18,640 that it was I think it's a that's a that's a real debut album. 1161 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:30,840 It's simple and it's raw and it's the recording is bad to say in lack of another word. 1162 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:46,240 But I mean it's the melodies are so good and we all have read the dirt. 1163 01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:56,240 So I think it's a soundtrack of a time that most of us love. 1164 01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:06,920 So it's great album and by the way that wire is that's a great heavy metal tune. 1165 01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,880 I think everyone can agree on that. 1166 01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:12,840 So yeah that's that from that. 1167 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:13,840 Thank you. 1168 01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,840 Brad, go ahead. 1169 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:20,360 Johan said it all man. 1170 01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:24,360 Yeah it's a landmark album. 1171 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:25,360 It really is. 1172 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:31,720 I mean and look at all the stuff to follow those guys coming out of LA and other places 1173 01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:32,720 too. 1174 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:38,680 I mean they were hugely influential but then you're right Victor they stole almost everything 1175 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:43,720 from somebody else but they use that to kind of put together something that was at least 1176 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:45,360 at the time original. 1177 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,480 Right agreed. 1178 01:10:48,480 --> 01:10:50,920 Anthony what were you going to mention? 1179 01:10:50,920 --> 01:11:02,840 I don't know other than this is Head and Shoulders they're my favorite album. 1180 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:10,320 Instead of saying their best album you know I think I did vote for this because basically 1181 01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:19,280 what you've everyone has already said in terms of debut albums it stands out. 1182 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:24,640 Yeah it was year 10 actually. 1183 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:35,840 So a band from the other side of the pond and also man this album is huge but I think 1184 01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:44,800 the opposite of Motley Crue I think what came after this kind of this was this first album 1185 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:50,560 set the blueprint and the band really exploded afterwards in my opinion. 1186 01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:55,080 Exploded like the album cover I should say. 1187 01:11:55,080 --> 01:12:04,480 Led Zeppelin with what we all know now as Led Zeppelin 1. 1188 01:12:04,480 --> 01:12:09,320 Anyone Led Zeppelin 1. 1189 01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,680 Somebody must have voted for it. 1190 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:18,760 I didn't vote for it but I did buy it quite early on not when it first came out and I 1191 01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:20,760 liked the bluesy sounds on it. 1192 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:26,040 They did a lot of blues in the early days and you could tell the class that they had 1193 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:31,720 on this album and it possibly isn't their best album but it's got some great songs 1194 01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:36,400 on it and shows the quality that they've got and the sort of technical prowess of Jimmy 1195 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,600 Page. 1196 01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:44,440 So it's certainly up there and I think probably if I'd have been around at the time it came 1197 01:12:44,440 --> 01:12:51,680 out when it was actually released and was really into it then and I was in my 20s then 1198 01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:57,680 I probably would have been blown over by it because if you think about the sort of stuff 1199 01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:06,120 that was getting released around that time it probably was one of the better releases. 1200 01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:14,840 So just so you guys realize the magnitude of this, US radio to this day still plays 1201 01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:20,120 and this is every single day these songs get played on terrestrial radio. 1202 01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:27,960 Good times, bad times, babe I'm gonna leave you, you shook me, dazed and confused, your 1203 01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:37,120 time is gonna come, black mountainside, communication breakdown and from time to time you'll hear 1204 01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,200 how many more times. 1205 01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,200 That's like the one that gets popped in and out. 1206 01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:53,340 So outside of one song which is I Can't Quit You Baby, the rest of this album gets played 1207 01:13:53,340 --> 01:13:55,760 every day on US radio. 1208 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,960 Dan go ahead. 1209 01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:04,880 Every day that it does come on I change the channel and find something else to listen 1210 01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:05,880 to. 1211 01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:10,960 So I want to say one other thing, I didn't use Rolling Stone magazine to come up with 1212 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,240 my top 10 list. 1213 01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:15,240 Okay. 1214 01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:16,240 Ooh. 1215 01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:23,240 Fair enough. 1216 01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:28,440 Well I will say this Dan, yours is one of the most diverse and you'll see when I post 1217 01:14:28,440 --> 01:14:34,160 the full list, you'll see that there's a lot of different stuff out there. 1218 01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:40,920 The thing is, like I said, 12 through one got a lot of votes. 1219 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:52,080 So I think close to what you're saying with Zeppelin up to what? 1220 01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,880 Houses of the Holy maybe? 1221 01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,520 Almost every single song gets played on the radio. 1222 01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:03,640 I mean it's one of the reasons why we stopped listening to terrestrial radio where I worked 1223 01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:15,360 because Zeppelin, Aerosmith, ACDC, Ozzy, Van Halen, we didn't want radio to ruin these 1224 01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:20,280 bands for us because Rush was another one actually as well. 1225 01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:23,880 We didn't want radio to ruin the bands for us. 1226 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:29,440 So we decided that we wouldn't listen to radio anymore. 1227 01:15:29,440 --> 01:15:31,280 But I get what you're saying Dan. 1228 01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:35,040 Now I can listen to Zeppelin once a year. 1229 01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:36,880 I get my fill and then it's okay. 1230 01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:41,120 Let's put it away for 365 days. 1231 01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:42,400 It's a formula that they use. 1232 01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:44,680 It's obviously some sort of success. 1233 01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:51,080 I've taken part in radio listening party of what we should listen to and give my opinion 1234 01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,780 and they paid me whatever money to participate. 1235 01:15:53,780 --> 01:15:57,680 But I'm sure I was useless because I don't feel like everybody else that I've already 1236 01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:01,680 heard those songs enough time that I like to hear something different and something 1237 01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:05,760 new and yeah, you know. 1238 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,160 It is called the Abrams Report. 1239 01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:13,880 It is the stupidest fucking thing that was ever invented. 1240 01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:22,080 The Abrams Report are the 50 songs that are recommended that you should play every single 1241 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:23,920 day on radio. 1242 01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,200 Eagles Hotel California. 1243 01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,440 Oh yes. 1244 01:16:29,440 --> 01:16:37,480 So we can come up with the 50 quickly because it's the same damn songs and it's been the 1245 01:16:37,480 --> 01:16:43,480 same songs since the late 80s. 1246 01:16:43,480 --> 01:16:46,080 How many Fleetwood Mac songs are on that list? 1247 01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,200 Oh my God, it's fucking maddening. 1248 01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:50,760 Must be a few journey ones. 1249 01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:52,240 This finally got a little bit of light. 1250 01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,160 Did I put a spark in this shit? 1251 01:16:55,160 --> 01:17:03,680 Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Jackson Brown. 1252 01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:09,160 It's shit that I think makes it rain every time that these songs are played. 1253 01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:16,440 I mean, it's and I'm going to bust this out quickly, but Mr. Mark Striegel, we would always 1254 01:17:16,440 --> 01:17:18,240 have these discussions off air. 1255 01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,960 You'd be like, you like the Eagles, don't you? 1256 01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:22,880 No, I don't. 1257 01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:23,880 You don't? 1258 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:30,080 Like, no, I fucking hated hearing, you know, the same 10 Eagles songs on the radio every 1259 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:37,400 day was one of the only rock songs that my ex-wife liked was Desperado by the Eagles. 1260 01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,480 He'd played all the fucking time. 1261 01:17:39,480 --> 01:17:41,280 It drove me nuts. 1262 01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:50,280 So my counterpunch to that was playing Crush by Anthrax all the time, which he hated. 1263 01:17:50,280 --> 01:18:05,440 So anyway, moving forward at number five, the self-titled debut of an album that scared 1264 01:18:05,440 --> 01:18:08,360 the shit out of a lot of people. 1265 01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:15,800 I think Brad is laughing because it's probably one of the albums most heard in his house. 1266 01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:19,160 At least CEO Dave plays it all the damn time. 1267 01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:21,200 Still today. 1268 01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:27,320 It is the title debut by Black Sabbath. 1269 01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:38,280 I played too often on the Sirius XM, Ozzy's Boneyard with Striegel that I'm getting for 1270 01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,960 free right now is this shit. 1271 01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:44,680 And I could rather hear the Ronnie stuff than that. 1272 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,960 And they just, they replayed the same thing over and over. 1273 01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:48,960 Wow. 1274 01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,000 Yeah. 1275 01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:57,400 What Sirius has become and thankfully I stopped subscribing years ago because it's become 1276 01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:00,120 terrestrial radio. 1277 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:01,120 It has. 1278 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:05,080 I mean, it's, you're paying to hear the same shit that you hear on regular radio all the 1279 01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:06,280 time. 1280 01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:12,680 But anyway, who wants to speak to, go ahead, Brad. 1281 01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:17,160 I just have to say that on Yard Metal, we have a Black Sabbath song coming up in four 1282 01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:21,200 songs and it's falling off the edge of the world. 1283 01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:26,360 And I think that Jeremy's introducing this song. 1284 01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:36,760 You want to hear a very passionate Jeremy talking about this song when we're done. 1285 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:38,760 Jeremy are you getting that royalty check? 1286 01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:42,720 Because Brad's telling me that mine is in the mail, but I've yet to see it. 1287 01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:43,720 He's telling me. 1288 01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:49,200 Jeremy's is in the mail too, but I keep hearing that they're on strike over there. 1289 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:54,440 My lawyers have sent a cease and desist letter immediately to stop him playing my track. 1290 01:19:54,440 --> 01:19:57,000 Johan, you raised your hand. 1291 01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:58,000 Go ahead. 1292 01:19:58,000 --> 01:19:59,000 Yeah. 1293 01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:08,400 Just want to say that in the eighties in Sweden, early eighties, we were still like DDR here. 1294 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:16,480 And when I bought that album, it was because of the album cover. 1295 01:20:16,480 --> 01:20:22,040 It was scary and it was mystical. 1296 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:30,760 And when I put on the record, I thought it was, I needed some time to light that record 1297 01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:38,480 when I was around 13, 14 and I light multi crew on the side. 1298 01:20:38,480 --> 01:20:48,440 But it took me perhaps two or three listings to that album. 1299 01:20:48,440 --> 01:20:50,720 And I loved it. 1300 01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,720 It's so good. 1301 01:20:53,720 --> 01:21:05,280 And it's such a nice rock album and I don't know about you guys, but I think it's the 1302 01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:11,320 cover and the songs are matching together. 1303 01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:14,880 It's one of those albums. 1304 01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:22,840 So it has earned its place on the top of the bill. 1305 01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:23,840 Okay. 1306 01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:24,840 Yeah. 1307 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,720 And you have to remember that this album came out, was it 1970? 1308 01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:31,920 So I was like three years old when this came out and didn't obviously didn't hear it when 1309 01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:33,200 it first came out. 1310 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,680 It was much, much later. 1311 01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:38,880 And it scared me to shit. 1312 01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:41,200 I was absolutely scared to shit when I heard it. 1313 01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:43,600 I must have been probably 10 years old. 1314 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:48,880 Somebody brought it, looked at the cover and then they played that first track really loud 1315 01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:49,880 as well. 1316 01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,680 And I just thought, fucking hell, what is this? 1317 01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:56,240 Either I'm going to get into this kind of music or I'm just going to hate it. 1318 01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:57,960 But I actually liked the sound of it. 1319 01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,640 And N.I.B. I think on the album is amazing riff. 1320 01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:06,600 And there's just three or four songs on the album where you just thought that is absolute 1321 01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:07,740 class. 1322 01:22:07,740 --> 01:22:10,280 Some of the other songs were not so good. 1323 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:13,720 They sort of got better, didn't they? 1324 01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:14,800 I'm paranoid. 1325 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:20,640 But yeah, it's an incredible debut really, if you think about it, because it's very different 1326 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,400 to anything else that was out there at the time. 1327 01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:30,920 There were no Dancing with Girls to Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath. 1328 01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:34,380 All right. 1329 01:22:34,380 --> 01:22:45,100 So at number four, another band out of California, a band that I think with this album, we thought 1330 01:22:45,100 --> 01:22:53,480 that we would be getting 10, 15, 20 albums out of them. 1331 01:22:53,480 --> 01:23:01,320 And to date, we've gotten four without counting a covers album. 1332 01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:06,980 It is Appetite for Destruction by Guns N' Roses. 1333 01:23:06,980 --> 01:23:11,800 Another huge album that I remember this came out. 1334 01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:16,840 And I've told the story a million and one times, probably as many times as Sweet Child 1335 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,800 of Mine has been played on the radio. 1336 01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:26,840 When this came out, I mean, that was and still is my automatic skipper on the album. 1337 01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:31,720 But I remember telling everyone here, they're going to be big. 1338 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:33,440 No, they're not going to be big. 1339 01:23:33,440 --> 01:23:34,680 They've got all this profanity. 1340 01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:35,680 They've got this. 1341 01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:36,680 They've got that. 1342 01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:40,800 And sure as shit, I came back from vacation here and Sweet Child of Mine was everywhere. 1343 01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:42,680 It was nauseating. 1344 01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:47,600 But anyway, I love the rest of the album. 1345 01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:53,240 I mean, I still listen to it from time to time, more so the deeper cuts than the actual 1346 01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:58,640 singles, because the singles have been played to death. 1347 01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:03,120 But I get why it got voted so high. 1348 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:09,640 Anyone else want to mention something about Appetite for Destruction? 1349 01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:13,160 I don't like that album. 1350 01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:21,360 No, I and it's an honest opinion. 1351 01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:24,240 It's not. 1352 01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:29,480 No, I have never listened. 1353 01:24:29,480 --> 01:24:31,240 I don't own it. 1354 01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:38,160 And I it's not my I don't know. 1355 01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:39,840 It's a good album now. 1356 01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:42,120 I can understand. 1357 01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:46,920 But back then, no. 1358 01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:52,000 And now, no, no, that's not my band. 1359 01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:59,000 OK, sorry to say, but it's not my band. 1360 01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:03,920 No, that's that's I'm very honest about that. 1361 01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:16,040 So but I'm I know that I'm that a lot of people don't agree with me right now. 1362 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:22,480 But no, no, I think there's a lot of people that actually do agree with you because Axl 1363 01:25:22,480 --> 01:25:27,360 Rose is an acquired taste, I do think, even though I enjoyed I know that there are a lot 1364 01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:32,480 of people that do not like his voice or his attitude. 1365 01:25:32,480 --> 01:25:40,000 But Dan, this yeah, we can agree to disagree. 1366 01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:41,200 It's OK. 1367 01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:42,880 It's a perfect album for me. 1368 01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:44,160 But then I grew up in it. 1369 01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:49,240 I knew when it was coming out, I was here in the Hollywood area when the scene was what 1370 01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:51,080 it was. 1371 01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:54,120 So that's all we heard. 1372 01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:56,480 Not all my friends even like this band, this album. 1373 01:25:56,480 --> 01:25:58,520 So they could be in a different stuff. 1374 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:00,560 But I it's a perfect album. 1375 01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:01,560 It's the way it's mixed. 1376 01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:08,080 It's the way if you listen to it on headphones, you hear each guitar in each year and you 1377 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,040 can hear different things going on. 1378 01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:13,040 And I like that it was, you know, mixed different. 1379 01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,920 I wish other bands had done that. 1380 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:20,640 And yeah, I thought that there was more to come from this greatness of this album. 1381 01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:22,960 And then it all went downhill. 1382 01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:29,360 So to say, you know, a top 10 debut album, and then it kind of all went downhill from 1383 01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,720 there, that this is a good example of that. 1384 01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:39,680 And what he's done now is ruined his not his legacy, but it's a shame Axl's voice is not 1385 01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:40,680 what it is. 1386 01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,200 And he can't do it without help. 1387 01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,720 What's that? 1388 01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:46,720 OK. 1389 01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:50,640 And the current songs are not nowhere near as good. 1390 01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:55,440 I mean, if you look at this album, there's probably about six tracks on there that are 1391 01:26:55,440 --> 01:26:58,480 absolute classic songs. 1392 01:26:58,480 --> 01:27:02,240 And to be on that one album, you know, the debut album is incredible. 1393 01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:05,080 I remember when it came out and a friend of mine played it to me and I just thought it 1394 01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:13,480 was really, really classy sounding, you know, hard rocking album that I had not heard anything 1395 01:27:13,480 --> 01:27:15,240 like it at that particular time. 1396 01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:19,480 And I just thought you could just tell this band was going somewhere, even if they didn't 1397 01:27:19,480 --> 01:27:22,960 produce so many great albums afterwards. 1398 01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:26,240 They just became massive, didn't they? 1399 01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:29,600 Quite deservedly so, in my opinion. 1400 01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:31,440 They're still massive. 1401 01:27:31,440 --> 01:27:34,800 And you can argue that that's really just one album. 1402 01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:35,800 Yeah. 1403 01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:44,040 They're almost the definition of a band that is living off their first album. 1404 01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:51,560 And we're like all people here are probably of an age where we witnessed this album and 1405 01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:54,560 this band getting big. 1406 01:27:54,560 --> 01:28:01,880 Like I was certainly into this album when it was just a few people knew about it. 1407 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:08,880 You know, I'm not saying I was into them first or anything, but they certainly were listening 1408 01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:14,200 to this album before it was big and witnessed them getting bigger and bigger and becoming 1409 01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:15,520 enormous. 1410 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:23,280 And then producing albums that weren't as good. 1411 01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:25,400 But they made a mistake. 1412 01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,760 They shouldn't have done Use Your Illusion 1 and 2. 1413 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:31,280 They should have just compacted it into one album and picked the best tracks. 1414 01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:35,040 And if they'd have done that, they may have had a much better career out of it because 1415 01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:37,480 they would have had a really good second album. 1416 01:28:37,480 --> 01:28:38,480 Yeah. 1417 01:28:38,480 --> 01:28:46,000 But it's like the first album was so big, so quickly that their heads just got fucked 1418 01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:49,040 up and they made stupid decisions. 1419 01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:58,320 Like, you know, so they're like of all the bands like who are, I'm sure how many songs 1420 01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:01,720 from this are they still playing? 1421 01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:04,400 Probably the majority of their set. 1422 01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:05,880 Yeah, yeah. 1423 01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:06,880 Yeah. 1424 01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:11,500 And the stuff they're producing now is absolutely dreadful compared to that, compared to this 1425 01:29:11,500 --> 01:29:12,500 debut album. 1426 01:29:12,500 --> 01:29:17,400 I mean, you wonder if they can actually make a proper rock song. 1427 01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:24,200 You know, the amazing thing is they're one of the few rock bands that can still headline 1428 01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:28,000 a stadium and sell all the tickets. 1429 01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:29,000 Yeah. 1430 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:30,000 It's incredible. 1431 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:31,520 Really based with just one album. 1432 01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,320 Yeah, it's a legacy thing, isn't it? 1433 01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:36,760 It's just because of their characters as well. 1434 01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:37,960 And also because of Slash. 1435 01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:39,440 Slash carries them a lot. 1436 01:29:39,440 --> 01:29:44,720 Yeah, but you look at Slash on his own, he's not packing, he's not playing big places in 1437 01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:45,720 America anyway. 1438 01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:52,120 I mean, when his solo band comes out, they're playing kind of larger clubs here. 1439 01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:53,120 Right. 1440 01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:54,960 They're quite big over here. 1441 01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:57,840 He fills out, you know, decent sized places here. 1442 01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:01,040 Anyway, we're going off topic a little bit. 1443 01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:02,320 That's all right. 1444 01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:03,320 They're an enigma to me. 1445 01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:10,180 I mean, the fact that you can have one really big first album and yet have a whole career 1446 01:30:10,180 --> 01:30:14,760 without doing anything else great and still be huge. 1447 01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:16,560 It's unbelievable what they've done. 1448 01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:20,160 I don't think you can see there's any other band like that. 1449 01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:21,160 No. 1450 01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:22,160 Yeah. 1451 01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:28,400 My intro to them was Cowbell and that first chord in Night Train. 1452 01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:29,760 Night Train. 1453 01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:31,520 That's my favorite song. 1454 01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:37,720 That was I remember Eddie Trunk played it and I was like, what the hell is this? 1455 01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:39,560 It was so different. 1456 01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:42,040 And that's when, you know, he would play Night Train. 1457 01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:46,840 He played it for a few subsequent weeks on his show. 1458 01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:52,400 And then then I heard Welcome to the Jungle. 1459 01:30:52,400 --> 01:31:01,000 And then I had a friend who wanted to borrow my Number of the Beast single. 1460 01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:08,240 And he says to me, is there anything that that you want to borrow of mine? 1461 01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:09,760 And his favorite band was Striper. 1462 01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:13,600 I said, what do you have that isn't Striper? 1463 01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:17,880 I got this tape by this band Guns N' Roses. 1464 01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:19,800 I'm not sure if I like them or not. 1465 01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:21,880 I said, oh, that's that Night Train band. 1466 01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,720 I'm like, yeah, I want to hear that. 1467 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:29,540 So that's how I got turned on to them. 1468 01:31:29,540 --> 01:31:31,320 And just to answer your question. 1469 01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:36,960 So in their last show, they played a little over a month ago. 1470 01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:37,960 Let's see. 1471 01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:44,160 They played It's So Easy, Bad Obsession, Chinese Democracy, Slither, which is a Velvet Revolver 1472 01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:50,120 song, Mr. Brownstone, Pretty Tied Up, Welcome to the Jungle, Hard School, Reckless Life, 1473 01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:56,680 Absurd, Strange, You Could Be Mine, Perhaps, The General, Live and Let Die, Knockin' on 1474 01:31:56,680 --> 01:32:07,080 Heaven's Door, Rocket Queen, Anything Goes, Double Talking Jive, Civil War. 1475 01:32:07,080 --> 01:32:16,880 Now that's Slash's solo, Sweet Child of Mine, November Rain, Patience, Don't Cry, Coma, 1476 01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:19,760 Night Train and Paradise City. 1477 01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:23,840 So out of 20 songs, eight are off of this album. 1478 01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:24,840 Yep. 1479 01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:27,920 It's incredible. 1480 01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:30,280 So anyway. 1481 01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:34,480 And nobody's standing up during the rest of those songs. 1482 01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:37,480 Wow. 1483 01:32:37,480 --> 01:32:42,920 Go get beer and go to the bathroom during a Guns N' Roses show. 1484 01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,520 We only bought their friend. 1485 01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:50,280 They came to our attention because they covered Rose Tattoo on their first EP. 1486 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:53,880 So I was like, oh, this is a band that's covered Rose Tattoo. 1487 01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:54,880 Cool. 1488 01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:55,880 Right. 1489 01:32:55,880 --> 01:33:03,080 And I think isn't a whole lot of Rosies on that as well. 1490 01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:04,080 Yeah. 1491 01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:05,080 Yep. 1492 01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:06,080 Yep. 1493 01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:09,080 All right. 1494 01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:15,000 So number three, a band that this show knows a thing or two about. 1495 01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:16,000 Hmm. 1496 01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:17,000 Could it be Armin? 1497 01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:24,640 So say on the new thing, guys, come on. 1498 01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:25,640 Yeah. 1499 01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:33,160 If you hadn't let all these other people vote, Victor, this would have been number one. 1500 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:34,160 You know, that's funny. 1501 01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:36,320 I didn't think of that. 1502 01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:40,200 Do the numbers again with just the patrons. 1503 01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:43,800 Guarantee Iron Maiden will be number one. 1504 01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:48,880 I don't know because the number two kind of surprised me. 1505 01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:52,220 Number one. 1506 01:33:52,220 --> 01:33:59,160 Number one, I had a hard time not making it my number one, but it was high for me as well. 1507 01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:00,800 The top three are there on my. 1508 01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:03,400 A lot of these are on my list for God sakes. 1509 01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:08,520 Anyway, we talked about Iron Maiden at length last week. 1510 01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:11,600 We voted for Iron Maiden. 1511 01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:15,960 Anyone else want to add anything about the self-titled debut by Iron Maiden that wasn't 1512 01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:17,360 discussed last week? 1513 01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:18,760 Dan, you weren't here. 1514 01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:20,760 Anything you want to say? 1515 01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:21,760 No? 1516 01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:22,760 Okay. 1517 01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:24,760 So, Brad, you're probably right. 1518 01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:28,600 It would probably be number one if it was just the patrons. 1519 01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:29,600 Yeah. 1520 01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:30,600 All right. 1521 01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:31,600 Number two. 1522 01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:36,440 We're talking about picture discs. 1523 01:34:36,440 --> 01:34:45,680 There's a picture disc over here and it is the number two album. 1524 01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:52,200 It has Murray on the cover with a priest. 1525 01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:53,200 Wow. 1526 01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:54,200 Dio. 1527 01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:57,560 Holy diver. 1528 01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:03,640 I did not expect this to be that high. 1529 01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:05,280 It was my number two. 1530 01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:09,320 A lot of people voted this number one and number two. 1531 01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:11,000 My number one. 1532 01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:12,000 Your number one. 1533 01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:15,000 So, Johan is not wrong. 1534 01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:17,200 Johan, holy diver. 1535 01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:21,040 Yeah, it's, you know, it's. 1536 01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:23,880 Yeah, Sean is right. 1537 01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:28,400 I mean, when it came out, it was here in Sweden. 1538 01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:32,680 It was a really big hit. 1539 01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:33,680 Everyone liked it. 1540 01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:36,800 Both, you know, girls and boys. 1541 01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:41,360 And it was a good cover. 1542 01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:49,120 And the song, holy diver, was, you know, kind of a hit. 1543 01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:53,400 For me, it was the song, stand up and shout. 1544 01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:57,000 It was amazing and still is today. 1545 01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:03,320 Best opening song to a concert to this day. 1546 01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:17,760 So that album is, I mean, I feel like Ronnie saved up to release that album. 1547 01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:22,160 So that was a good one. 1548 01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:32,160 And like the climate of the world in the 80s, that cover was a bit, even here in Sweden, 1549 01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:38,480 a bit, you know, it was a tough cover. 1550 01:36:38,480 --> 01:36:43,680 I can only imagine how it was in the USA. 1551 01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:58,740 So it's now I think that's that is a really good album cover wise and song wise. 1552 01:36:58,740 --> 01:36:59,740 Thank you. 1553 01:36:59,740 --> 01:37:03,520 OK, Brad, anything to add to that? 1554 01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:04,520 Johan said it all. 1555 01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:08,440 I think we've talked about Dio before. 1556 01:37:08,440 --> 01:37:13,680 This album is just it's a landmark album for our genre of music. 1557 01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:18,420 And it's just remarkable that he would be again out of Black Sabbath. 1558 01:37:18,420 --> 01:37:23,000 My top two albums were guys that had just left Black Sabbath and did albums. 1559 01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:27,600 And just unbelievable how that worked out. 1560 01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:30,600 Plus, you had Black Sabbath on the list as well. 1561 01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:32,880 So you kind of covered all bases. 1562 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:37,500 If it wasn't for this album, we, you know, the world wouldn't really know much about 1563 01:37:37,500 --> 01:37:38,760 Ronnie James Dio. 1564 01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:45,560 I mean, this this this album propelled him and he unlike G&R, he followed it up with 1565 01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:47,400 other good albums, too. 1566 01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:50,760 So it wasn't that he only had one good album. 1567 01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:53,360 He's had an incredible career. 1568 01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:56,400 Think of think of the streak. 1569 01:37:56,400 --> 01:38:05,320 Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, Holy Diver and Last in Line. 1570 01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:11,960 How many bands alone, not just one artist, can string four monumental albums in a row 1571 01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:13,960 like that? 1572 01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:14,960 You. 1573 01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:16,240 Sorry, Victor. 1574 01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:18,480 I have to jump in there. 1575 01:38:18,480 --> 01:38:26,040 But Long Live Rock and Roll, Rising and Rainbow debuted. 1576 01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:27,040 So there you go. 1577 01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:31,400 You've got this streak even more. 1578 01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:34,960 That's like seven seven albums you just mentioned right there. 1579 01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:36,320 If we combine everything. 1580 01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:40,340 So I mean, think about that. 1581 01:38:40,340 --> 01:38:42,320 What other band has done that? 1582 01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:48,300 Maybe Iron Maiden with their first through Seventh Son. 1583 01:38:48,300 --> 01:38:55,080 Are there many more artists that have strung a bunch of strong albums like that together? 1584 01:38:55,080 --> 01:39:01,900 I mean, that was the funny thing that came out later with Vivian not getting paid, as 1585 01:39:01,900 --> 01:39:05,560 Ronnie said, I did all this music, all this great run of albums. 1586 01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:06,560 I never got paid. 1587 01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:09,720 I finally got to Holy Diver and I got paid. 1588 01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:12,320 Fuck Vinnie and he can't have his money. 1589 01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:17,360 That's how I look at it. 1590 01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:18,840 Good one, Dad. 1591 01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:26,880 Anthony, was there any special attention with this album in Ireland because Vivian was Irish 1592 01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:29,720 or is Irish? 1593 01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:36,120 I don't remember that being a thing. 1594 01:39:36,120 --> 01:39:39,960 Everyone knew he was Vivian from Sweet Savage. 1595 01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:46,240 No, I don't think he got any particular. 1596 01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:55,080 This album was and a lot of metal at the time was underground music here. 1597 01:39:55,080 --> 01:40:05,360 And this was a big underground record, you know, but it wouldn't have been it wasn't 1598 01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:12,760 news or it wasn't, you know, people didn't know who Dio were. 1599 01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:13,760 Okay. 1600 01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:16,880 Like you might say, like people wouldn't know. 1601 01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:22,240 People would have known who Twisted Sister were maybe, but not Dio. 1602 01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:23,240 Okay. 1603 01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:27,960 Wait, is that going to be our number one? 1604 01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:36,200 Well, we're about to find out here. 1605 01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:42,760 Considered by some the greatest American band of all time. 1606 01:40:42,760 --> 01:40:46,920 Is it Kansas? 1607 01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:56,400 Yes, Kansas. 1608 01:40:56,400 --> 01:40:58,320 I had to do that for you, Brad. 1609 01:40:58,320 --> 01:40:59,320 You thank you. 1610 01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:00,320 Thank you, Victor. 1611 01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:04,120 This is going to be a running gag for me from now on. 1612 01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:09,600 That guy on the ghost cult thing suggested that Kansas might be the greatest American 1613 01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:11,080 rock band ever. 1614 01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:15,680 I I'm like, what are you drinking? 1615 01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:16,680 What are you smoking? 1616 01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:18,480 What the hell is going on over there? 1617 01:41:18,480 --> 01:41:21,680 I mean, thank you. 1618 01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:22,680 Thank you, Victor. 1619 01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:23,680 You made my night. 1620 01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:28,240 Brad sent me just for those of you that don't know this, Jeremy's the only other person 1621 01:41:28,240 --> 01:41:31,200 that I mentioned this to. 1622 01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:35,280 Brad sent me his list the other day and Kansas is number one. 1623 01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:42,080 And I'm looking at it and I'm thinking he's he's got to be fucking with me. 1624 01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:47,080 There's no way that Brad voted Kansas number one. 1625 01:41:47,080 --> 01:41:48,720 And I'm you know, I'm being cordial. 1626 01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:49,720 I write back. 1627 01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:51,200 I say thank you for your list. 1628 01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:56,080 Cool artists, whatever, you know. 1629 01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:58,640 And then 10 minutes later, I get another message. 1630 01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:02,640 So you're ready for me to give you my real number one? 1631 01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:05,640 All right. 1632 01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:06,640 Perfect. 1633 01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:09,640 I like things. 1634 01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:12,640 I let that go. 1635 01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:13,640 That's. 1636 01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:14,640 Yeah. 1637 01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:21,680 So anyway, at number one. 1638 01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:22,680 Who's missing? 1639 01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:26,400 Who do you guys think is number one on here? 1640 01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:27,400 Halloween. 1641 01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:28,400 Halloween. 1642 01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:30,280 That was on your list. 1643 01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:32,520 Ha ha ha. 1644 01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:33,520 Found Hale and Shirley. 1645 01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:34,520 Yes. 1646 01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:35,520 Jeremy's right. 1647 01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:36,520 It's Van Halen. 1648 01:42:36,520 --> 01:42:37,520 You're right. 1649 01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:43,960 Dan, I regret not having Alice and Chains facelift on my list. 1650 01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:45,040 Good one. 1651 01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:46,640 After later, but it's not it. 1652 01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:49,680 Probably Van Halen amongst others. 1653 01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:55,720 Debuts is obviously I mean, you've got to say Van Halen cannot be outside the top 25. 1654 01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:58,320 Must be number one. 1655 01:42:58,320 --> 01:42:59,780 It must be. 1656 01:42:59,780 --> 01:43:03,280 It's not only a great debut album, but it's an album that changed music. 1657 01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:05,080 It changed everything. 1658 01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:06,080 Yeah. 1659 01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:07,840 Facelift is right there, Dan. 1660 01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:10,320 I actually just picked it up the other day on vinyl. 1661 01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:16,200 So I had to put debut albums behind there. 1662 01:43:16,200 --> 01:43:20,720 And let's see, is it? 1663 01:43:20,720 --> 01:43:24,160 That doesn't give it away as much as maybe this. 1664 01:43:24,160 --> 01:43:28,600 All right. 1665 01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:29,600 At number one. 1666 01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:32,600 It's Striker, isn't it? 1667 01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:33,600 Yes. 1668 01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:37,760 It is Van Halen with Van Halen 1. 1669 01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:41,680 There you go. 1670 01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:51,400 When I did that Kiss episode the other day and I was asked if Kiss was the greatest 70s 1671 01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:55,160 American rock band. 1672 01:43:55,160 --> 01:44:03,000 And after hearing Kansas and the Grateful Dead and The Doors, my instant thought was 1673 01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:09,120 it's David Lee Roth Van Halen, maybe Boston, but it's a Kiss episode. 1674 01:44:09,120 --> 01:44:10,120 No one else is saying Kiss. 1675 01:44:10,120 --> 01:44:15,000 So I'm going to say Kiss. 1676 01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:18,600 But Van Halen with David Lee Roth. 1677 01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:28,680 I mean, again, this album gets played every single day on American radio eruption. 1678 01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:33,240 And you've really got me. 1679 01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:39,960 Just quintessential music. 1680 01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:46,080 I mentioned Iommi before, but who has influenced guitar more than Eddie Van Halen? 1681 01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:49,880 I mean, we can talk about how big this album is. 1682 01:44:49,880 --> 01:44:55,520 We could talk about his solo on Beat It, which whether if you're a rock fan or not, if you're 1683 01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:59,520 just into pop music, you've listened to him at Nausium as well. 1684 01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:01,840 Thanks to that song. 1685 01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:06,920 Just so many things that, again, this is an album that I think marked a before and after. 1686 01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:15,680 It's not my favorite Van Halen album, but I get why so many people voted for it. 1687 01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:22,920 So Dan, you're out in California. 1688 01:45:22,920 --> 01:45:28,080 What does VH mean to the scene that you grew up in? 1689 01:45:28,080 --> 01:45:29,160 It was the start. 1690 01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:30,600 It was a lot to do with the clubs. 1691 01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:32,560 It was a lot to do with parties. 1692 01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:34,800 And they did it out in Brad's area. 1693 01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:37,560 And Brad was there too. 1694 01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:39,720 And it was the sound of Southern California. 1695 01:45:39,720 --> 01:45:41,840 That's the sound of summer. 1696 01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:44,000 Somebody asked me what summer is. 1697 01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:45,000 That is the music. 1698 01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,320 So that's that. 1699 01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:50,160 It's huge. 1700 01:45:50,160 --> 01:45:59,440 I mean, from without getting into the Laurel Canyon stuff that Anthony mentioned before, 1701 01:45:59,440 --> 01:46:06,840 like Fleetwood Mac or like the Eagles or Jackson Brown and all that stuff. 1702 01:46:06,840 --> 01:46:18,440 This was the first big Californian band that really Californian hard rock or just straight 1703 01:46:18,440 --> 01:46:24,440 up rock band that really left a stamp that I think really marked a before and after. 1704 01:46:24,440 --> 01:46:34,460 I mean, is there any other band that you can think of that was as impactful as Van Halen? 1705 01:46:34,460 --> 01:46:39,040 The Eagles. 1706 01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:44,520 But being there, Brad, same thing. 1707 01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:50,160 Was there any band that you noticed could the Eagles be considered bigger than Van Halen 1708 01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:53,360 at that time in Southern California? 1709 01:46:53,360 --> 01:46:55,880 I don't know. 1710 01:46:55,880 --> 01:47:02,360 Yeah, the Eagles, I don't think they were really considered California, even though 1711 01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:03,360 you got the hotel. 1712 01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:04,360 I guess. 1713 01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:05,360 What do I know? 1714 01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:06,360 What do I know? 1715 01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:09,160 I was into rock and rocking out. 1716 01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:15,760 And so, yeah, Van Halen is leaps and bounds above anything that was ever done by those 1717 01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:19,520 wonderful lads in the Eagles. 1718 01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:26,440 OK, anyone else want to mention something about Van Halen 1? 1719 01:47:26,440 --> 01:47:31,920 Yeah, it's an incredible mix of songs, I think, isn't it? 1720 01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:36,440 I mean, and also they did a few covers on it as well, but they did them really well. 1721 01:47:36,440 --> 01:47:41,120 You know, you really got me and you've got Ice Cream Man, which is probably one of my 1722 01:47:41,120 --> 01:47:42,960 favorite songs on the album because it's fun. 1723 01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:46,840 And that was the thing about Van Halen, they did everything with a smile on their face. 1724 01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:47,840 It was all fun. 1725 01:47:47,840 --> 01:47:51,280 You know, Dave Lee Roth was the ultimate frontman in the day. 1726 01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:53,280 You know, he was just incredible. 1727 01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:59,400 And a real mix of songs, really great playing, great bouncy bass. 1728 01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:02,160 Michael Anthony's bass is amazing. 1729 01:48:02,160 --> 01:48:07,840 And they set the scene for what was quite a few good albums that they released afterwards. 1730 01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:12,640 And like you say, probably there were one or two that might have exceeded this one, 1731 01:48:12,640 --> 01:48:13,640 but it was incredible. 1732 01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:18,320 And the opening track, Running With The Devil, is still one of my favorites from any band. 1733 01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:20,800 It's a really great track. 1734 01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:28,240 Yeah, most of this album, again, similar to some of the others that I mentioned, were 1735 01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:33,360 all over rock radio in the States, Running With The Devil, Eruption, You Really Got Me, 1736 01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:42,520 Ain't Talking About Love, Jamie's Crying, Ice Cream Man, and then even the deep tracks. 1737 01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:48,600 I mean, I think by the time I got to this album, I went backwards because my brother 1738 01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:52,080 had Fair Warning first. 1739 01:48:52,080 --> 01:48:55,960 But I remember I skipped over all the radio songs because I'd never heard I'm The One. 1740 01:48:55,960 --> 01:49:00,160 I'd never heard Atomic Punk or Little Dreamer on Fire. 1741 01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:10,080 And some of those songs are just so good and so different that Van Halen to me, you know, 1742 01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:15,200 was an album band because the songs were so good from from beginning to end, especially 1743 01:49:15,200 --> 01:49:20,840 during the Roth era, where even if a song didn't get on radio, you felt that, oh, OK, 1744 01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:24,560 they picked the wrong single because it should have been this song because this song is as 1745 01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:26,920 good or better. 1746 01:49:26,920 --> 01:49:29,800 So I mean, I'm looking at this now. 1747 01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:33,360 They released five singles off of this song off of this album. 1748 01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:38,080 They released You Really Got Me, Running With The Devil, Jamie's Crying, On Fire, and Ain't 1749 01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:39,080 Talking About Love. 1750 01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:43,880 I never heard On Fire on the radio ever where I grew up. 1751 01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:45,360 So that's it. 1752 01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:48,040 Oh, wait, it was a single in Japan. 1753 01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:49,040 So my bad. 1754 01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:50,040 That's why. 1755 01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:53,200 The other thing is it sounds so polished. 1756 01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:58,560 I mean, this was released 1978 and two years later in the UK, you've got bands who can 1757 01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:01,360 hardly play their instruments coming out playing heavy metal. 1758 01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:07,560 And, you know, this is like so far advanced than than anything at the time. 1759 01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:11,000 The sounds it was creating on the guitar is amazing. 1760 01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:16,160 Yeah, it sounds like it could have come out last week. 1761 01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:18,960 You know, it's amazing sounding. 1762 01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:24,040 And that's probably because it's so stripped down, really, you know, there's no there's 1763 01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:29,960 a couple of guitar overdubs on it, but like not many. 1764 01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:32,760 Yeah. 1765 01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:39,440 And for all of you kiss haters out there, there is a Van Halen Kiss Connection. 1766 01:50:39,440 --> 01:50:40,440 Oh, yeah. 1767 01:50:40,440 --> 01:50:43,440 There's Kiss Connections to everything. 1768 01:50:43,440 --> 01:50:49,240 They just whether the greatest American rock. 1769 01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:50,240 There you go. 1770 01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:55,280 No, but I was going to say that's that's what they want to think anyway. 1771 01:50:55,280 --> 01:51:02,840 But Gene Simmons did, quote unquote, discover them and produce the original demo, which 1772 01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:07,800 if you've never listened to the demo, it is really cool. 1773 01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:11,560 A lot of times you listen to some of these demos that have been passed around through 1774 01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:18,360 the tape trading days and they, you know, they're scratching, they don't sound well. 1775 01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:24,640 The songs on there are just as good as the first album with a different production set 1776 01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:25,960 to it. 1777 01:51:25,960 --> 01:51:31,120 There's a few songs different House of Pain, which appears on 1984 is on there. 1778 01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:37,520 It's a shame that there's some of the other tracks that that I guess ended up on a different 1779 01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:42,560 kind of truth, but a song like Bullethead, which they had back in the day, which was 1780 01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:44,320 really cool in the demo format. 1781 01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:48,800 But again, that isn't I don't think Gene produced that. 1782 01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:52,440 But anyway, enough about Kiss. 1783 01:51:52,440 --> 01:51:55,400 This is Van Halen. 1784 01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:59,240 Voted number one, not by a huge landslide. 1785 01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:06,720 Nine points separates that nine points between one and two, nine points between two and three. 1786 01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:15,560 And actually two points between three and four and four and five. 1787 01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:21,320 So the voting at the top was was was pretty tight. 1788 01:52:21,320 --> 01:52:26,920 In any event, I do want to thank everyone who's joining us. 1789 01:52:26,920 -->
