1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,480
Welcome one and all to episode 372.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:13,920
It is the first episode of 2024 and it is our look at 2024 and what we are looking forward

3
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,680
to in the year.

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:22,360
It is basically our look ahead to what 2024 has in store for us.

5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:31,680
There is a cool episode that is exciting and it is up next.

6
00:00:52,360 --> 00:01:01,760
If you have ever followed me in the past you will know that I am a huge proponent for new

7
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:02,760
music.

8
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,680
New music from new bands, new music from bands that have been around for a million years.

9
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:14,640
It's just new music in general that is something that I strive for checking out.

10
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:21,200
There is always something good out there to listen to and I know, I know people say well

11
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,240
that album will never replace this other album.

12
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:31,000
But again I always say it, I correlate it to food.

13
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,720
The spaghetti and meatballs that your grandma made you, regardless how good anyone else

14
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,720
makes it, it's probably never going to hit the spot the way that your grandmother made

15
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,720
it.

16
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:52,280
So does that mean that you won't take a chance on anyone else's spaghetti?

17
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:59,760
You won't eat out, you won't eat spaghetti out anywhere, you won't make it yourself.

18
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,020
It's kind of the same thing to me.

19
00:02:02,020 --> 00:02:04,920
So it's cool to get together with some of my patrons.

20
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:12,360
We have Brad Dahl, we have Ed Ferguson, we have Johan, a cavalcade of guests from around

21
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:19,360
the world, both in the States and overseas in Europe, and talking about things that we're

22
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,840
looking forward to checking out in 2024.

23
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,040
There's a lot of great things in store and another thing you guys should be checking

24
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,920
out tomorrow night, I will be recording live on the air with Jeremy Weltman.

25
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:39,080
We'll be talking about new music that was released in January, a lot of cool stuff that

26
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,720
has come out already.

27
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:48,920
And we do this for the year end voting for what our favorite albums of the year have

28
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:49,920
been.

29
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:54,280
A lot of times people forget about stuff that comes out early on in the year.

30
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,020
So we do this for that reason.

31
00:02:56,020 --> 00:03:00,680
If you haven't been paying attention, well just check out one of these episodes.

32
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:06,120
If you're unfamiliar which one to check out, you can go to signalsfromr's.com, scroll

33
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,560
down and you'll see the album reviews separated from regular interviews or regular music.

34
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,560
Discussions.

35
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:20,840
And Jeremy and I go through, listen to a bunch of different albums and select what we feel

36
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,780
are some of the best that are available.

37
00:03:22,780 --> 00:03:24,960
So there you go.

38
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,640
There's a bunch of other ways you can support the show.

39
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:32,880
I just mentioned my patrons, you can go to Patreon and support us for as little as two

40
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,200
bucks a month.

41
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,100
You could also do a PayPal donation if that's not your thing.

42
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:40,200
You can also pick up merch.

43
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,680
There's different articles of merch that I've designed.

44
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:52,520
I should say Anthony Mackie, one of my patrons has designed the logo and I've created different

45
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,080
items of clothing based on his design.

46
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,480
So there you go.

47
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,760
And it looks cool.

48
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,280
I have a t-shirt, I have a sweatshirt personally and I think that they look awesome.

49
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,680
If you ever check out the live stream, I've got the logo behind me as well.

50
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,120
But yeah, those are a few ways you can support and you can just simply tell your friends

51
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,520
about us, tell them, oh yeah, remember how we used to have all these really cool music

52
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,520
discussions?

53
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:23,920
Well, these guys are doing it on Signals from Mars and it seems like people's voice really

54
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:30,120
matters on that show because their opinions are respected and we talk about, or they talk

55
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,440
about all this cool stuff.

56
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,440
Maybe we should join them.

57
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,800
You know, you could do that.

58
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,200
If not, you could always just share one of the posts on social media.

59
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,560
There's a bunch of different social media platforms where the show is available.

60
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,880
There's a lot of different places where you could subscribe as well to the podcast and

61
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,120
to the video version of the show.

62
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,400
Go to signalsfrommars.com and you can check out where you can follow and share and all

63
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,560
that great stuff there.

64
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,400
I do want to send a shout out to all of my patrons.

65
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:08,680
I don't have enough time to name them all right now, but thank you guys for your support.

66
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,560
Thank you people that are listening as well.

67
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:29,400
And let's get on with the show.

68
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,520
Welcome one and all.

69
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,240
That wasn't what I was looking for.

70
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,240
That's what I was looking for.

71
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,240
All right.

72
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:48,920
The first Signals from Mars of 2024 and I am joined by an illustrious cavalcade of gentlemen

73
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,620
from around the world.

74
00:05:51,620 --> 00:05:58,240
Let me introduce them to you as we kick things off here.

75
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:05,240
In Kentucky, we have the grandfather of the group here.

76
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,960
Ed, how are you, sir?

77
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,440
Doing pretty great.

78
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Thanks.

79
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,240
Awesome.

80
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:18,100
Out in Idaho, one cavalier ish gentleman.

81
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:27,260
We have what are you showing us on screen there, Brad?

82
00:06:27,260 --> 00:06:32,160
And by the way, if you are seeing this, whether it's live or the replay, what Brad is trying

83
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,600
to show you is this for $20, you can get your own Signals from Mars t-shirt.

84
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,600
Here you go.

85
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,600
That's really nice.

86
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,980
I'm just going to say this is a, I mean, the Signals from Mars logo makes it 10 times better,

87
00:06:45,980 --> 00:06:48,280
but the shirt by itself is a really, it's a really nice shirt.

88
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:49,940
It's very comfy.

89
00:06:49,940 --> 00:06:54,840
We can thank Anthony Mackey for the logo design.

90
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:55,840
All right.

91
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:56,840
Thanks, Anthony.

92
00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:02,560
And the politician of the bunch, we have Johan.

93
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,320
Johan, I see that you have a bandaid on your finger.

94
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,720
Did you cut yourself cooking by any chance?

95
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,880
Yes, I did.

96
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,440
Actually today was the day that I cut myself again.

97
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:25,680
I've done it probably a thousand times and today it was the thousand and one time.

98
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,400
So yeah, I'm a politician and cook.

99
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,400
Yeah.

100
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,400
There you go.

101
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,800
What were you slicing there?

102
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,520
Johan beside your finger.

103
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,400
Brad, I cut myself on a refrigerator.

104
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,880
So yeah, so much fun about that.

105
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:46,880
Okay.

106
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:47,880
Yeah.

107
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,760
When I was in high school, we had a teacher who would always tell a story about working

108
00:07:53,760 --> 00:08:04,960
in a deli and how one of her coworkers, no, no, was on the old deli machine slicing ham.

109
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:11,920
And she ended up, she was supposed to be making the joke was ham sandwich and she ended up

110
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,600
making hand sandwich.

111
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,640
She cut a slice of her hand with the machine.

112
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,720
So there you go.

113
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:30,280
Joining us in the chat is Mr. Sean Richmond.

114
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:38,000
We have, including Sean, everyone here present at the moment is a Patreon, is a patron on

115
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,040
Patreon, on the signals from ours, Patreon.

116
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,480
And Sean has been suggesting a bunch of different videos lately.

117
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:54,840
And we've had others sent in by Mike Jones, Metal Dan sent some into me yesterday as well.

118
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,480
So I'm all about letting people's voices be heard.

119
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:05,760
And if you want to check out some of the cool stuff that Sean is sending my way, join us

120
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,960
on Patreon.

121
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:14,280
You could do so for as little as two bucks a month and chat with this merry batch of

122
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,280
fellows.

123
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,600
Sean, you did that on purpose.

124
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:17,600
I did.

125
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,560
Well, it's two, two, two dollars a month.

126
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:21,560
Right.

127
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:22,560
Okay.

128
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:25,000
Best two dollars you could possibly spend.

129
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,880
There you go.

130
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,920
So as you could possibly spend right here.

131
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,000
Anyway, so today's show is going to be about 2024.

132
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:46,160
We finished 2023 with a show about 2023, but we're speaking this show off this year off

133
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:53,040
with talking about the year to come, what we have in front of us.

134
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,640
We're going to talk about albums.

135
00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:01,920
We're going to talk about concerts, festivals, anything else that may pop in our minds that

136
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,560
we're looking forward to in this year.

137
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:10,660
So all right.

138
00:10:10,660 --> 00:10:14,900
So right off the bat, I know that there have been a few releases that have come out so

139
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:17,600
far that we've talked a little bit about.

140
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:23,720
I posted a few Saxon videos this week and Jeremy is away this week, so he didn't join

141
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,720
us tonight.

142
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:31,900
But shortly, Jeremy and I will be recording an episode talking about January's releases

143
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:33,760
shortly, is what I'm getting at.

144
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,360
We're almost at the end of January and I'm sure the Saxon album will come up.

145
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:48,560
And that's probably one of the first releases that people were looking forward to for 2024.

146
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:54,960
I know one of the biggest things that people talked about in Patreon was that they were

147
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,040
kind of expecting something a little different from the band.

148
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:07,440
It seemed like the lyrics were kind of pedestrian and that the music kind of was people expecting

149
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,920
something else, basically, at least some of the comments.

150
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,400
Yeah, yeah.

151
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:25,280
I guess some people are saying that they expected something different given their history.

152
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,680
And also, the other thing you have to throw in there is that they have a new component

153
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:38,240
in the band that I don't know how much they let Brian Tatler write, but obviously his

154
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,960
pedigree with Diamondhead speaks for itself.

155
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:49,040
I think there's three songs that he had the initial riff on.

156
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,040
OK.

157
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:55,760
So yeah, they got him involved and put him right in the band.

158
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,200
And I don't know.

159
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,280
See that's funny because I thought the album was significantly better than like the last

160
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,280
three albums.

161
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,280
OK.

162
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:10,560
Yeah, I thought they actually kind of like, yeah, the production much, much better, far

163
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:12,440
less overdubs and stuff.

164
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,920
And I know they used, oh, what's his name?

165
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:16,920
Jews Priest Guy.

166
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,920
Andy Sneep.

167
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:18,920
Yeah, Andy Sneep.

168
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,640
He was Andy Sneep.

169
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:27,360
They claim that he's their producer and they're letting him produce Judas Priest.

170
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,720
Interesting thing, I heard Biff talking about this, that Judas Priest album, they've been

171
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,280
working on it in Las Vegas.

172
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,280
Hmm.

173
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,280
I wonder where.

174
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,280
I'll have to look into that.

175
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,000
But of course, it's obviously done.

176
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,320
But I think the saxophone is fantastic.

177
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,400
I think lyrically, it's actually better.

178
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,400
I thought the last one was really kind of phoned in.

179
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:55,440
I mean, lyrically, I think this album is significantly better than the last one.

180
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,200
But I guess that's the cool thing about music is one of us can think it's great and the

181
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,840
others think it's like, eh.

182
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:02,840
OK.

183
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,280
So, all right.

184
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:12,000
So let's talk about music that we're looking forward to coming out in 2024.

185
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,440
Ed, let's kick things off with you.

186
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,240
That is our extreme metal, Bert.

187
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:26,960
And I'm sure there are things that you have on your list that you want to hear that you're

188
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,400
looking forward to hearing.

189
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:36,280
What's some of the stuff that you're looking forward to hearing in 2024?

190
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,440
First that comes to mind is I believe Anthrax should have a new album this year.

191
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,160
Am I right about that?

192
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,160
They've been looking on one and I think they said it'd come out sometime this year.

193
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,920
Yeah, I heard either late this year or early next.

194
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520
So really might be that long.

195
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,120
So we don't know really.

196
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,880
Well, here's well, I would like to hear that.

197
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:57,880
Yeah.

198
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:07,920
Things to consider is that Charlie's playing a lot with Pantera this year and Mr. Bungle

199
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,560
just announced dates, which Scott is a part of.

200
00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:12,560
Yeah.

201
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:18,120
And Joey's got his Journey Tribute thing going on as well.

202
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:25,160
So yeah, you know, unless they put something out, it may be an off year for some of these

203
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:30,960
bands because I feel like a lot of them have just released records in the last year or

204
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,960
so.

205
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,960
Testament hasn't had one in a couple of years, but I haven't really heard news of what they're

206
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,280
doing because Alex or who left the band recently?

207
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,920
No, I was a drummer.

208
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,920
Yeah.

209
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,680
But they have.

210
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:54,840
Yeah, they brought Lombardo in for like a hiccup, which to me, in hindsight made no

211
00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:03,360
sense because they brought him in for essentially a tour, got rid of Gene Hoagland.

212
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:10,920
And they're, of course, claiming that the new drummer that they have is putting, you

213
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,560
know, pumping new blood into the band because he's a lot younger than the rest of the members

214
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,560
of the band.

215
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,880
So that'll be interesting to hear.

216
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,960
I'll be excited to hear it when they do.

217
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:28,400
Of course, now the big and this will be a big holiday for me is when Kerry King releases

218
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:34,720
his new album, which he said he's going to have Phil doing the vocals.

219
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,760
Has he confirmed that?

220
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,080
Yeah, that was in the news in the last week or two that Phil's going to be the vocalist.

221
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:47,040
I'm pretty sure they were saying that was a solid info.

222
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:53,160
And regardless of how Phil might end up sounding live, they can at least do their studio magic.

223
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,720
So I'm hoping that the record is going to sound awesome.

224
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,480
I'll probably take off work and just wait for everybody to be gone and turn it up to

225
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,640
11 on my stereo and enjoy hearing those Slayer sounds again.

226
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,960
Because Kerry said it's going to be, you know, extension of Slayer, which is what I was hoping.

227
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,600
I want to hear that sound.

228
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,440
Just kind of like and I don't see how it couldn't be because it's just like with Dave Lombardo,

229
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,440
with all his bands.

230
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:26,120
Have you ever noticed in Phantomous and the Empire State Bastards and some of the other

231
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:32,400
stuff he's done, Mr. Bungle, you hear Slayer in those records that he's playing on, even

232
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,040
though it's another band's music.

233
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,560
Yeah, it's the signature.

234
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,440
You almost feel like it affects the guitar player sometimes.

235
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,360
It makes that guitar player sound a little more Slayer like.

236
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,360
Right.

237
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,920
But so, I mean, yeah, how could Kerry not sound like that either?

238
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,000
So it's going to be a lot of what people have heard in the past, but people like me are

239
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,160
going to love it.

240
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,280
But you know, like I said, a lot of the bands that I'm enjoying right now, I feel like they

241
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:02,880
just released records, so I'm not too sure what else might be coming out.

242
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,540
Unless you've heard of anything, Death Angel, maybe.

243
00:17:05,540 --> 00:17:07,520
It's been a couple of years since they've had something.

244
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,200
Yeah, that's the other one that I was going to mention.

245
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,920
I know Sacred Rake is working on a new album as well.

246
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:23,400
Testament, I believe I read somewhere that Alex Goldnick said they had five or six songs

247
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:29,240
written and they had a few more to do.

248
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,040
So yeah, that should all be interesting.

249
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:43,040
My question to you with regarding to Kerry King and his band, how long until he realizes

250
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:48,400
that the Slayer name garners him more money?

251
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:56,280
And how long until we see some type of infighting where he wants to go out under the name Slayer

252
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,360
because it's going to make more money?

253
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:01,240
I really hope that never happens.

254
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,520
That would be disappointing.

255
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,920
But yeah, you never know.

256
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,240
I can't say, you know, everybody's different too.

257
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,800
So it's hard to know, but yeah, money is awfully powerful, isn't it?

258
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,080
Yeah, it would be disappointing.

259
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:25,520
But if you enjoy what he's doing, you know, with his first solo release, would that make

260
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:33,060
it easier for you to accept him playing under the Slayer moniker?

261
00:18:33,060 --> 00:18:36,860
With that band in particular, I mean, I would still listen to the music, but I'd still be

262
00:18:36,860 --> 00:18:40,000
disappointed in him trying to use...

263
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:47,080
Because Slayer is the one band to where, to me, it's Dave Lombardo, it's Tom Marea.

264
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,080
They're so...

265
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:55,840
I mean, especially Tom, his vocals is so much of the personality of that band that it just,

266
00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:01,280
it can't be Slayer without him, just as much as it couldn't be Slayer without Kerry.

267
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,300
That's just in my mind.

268
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:11,080
So with that one band, that would bother me a lot, even though with other bands, I may

269
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,460
not care so much.

270
00:19:13,460 --> 00:19:19,320
So here's Devil's Advocate for you, because we've already seen that Jeff Hanneman was

271
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,680
replaced with Gary Holt.

272
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,880
Yes.

273
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:30,680
And you know, I had a hard time seeing anybody replace Hanneman, but Gary was a good, almost

274
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,760
perfect replacement for him.

275
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,720
Because I've always enjoyed Gary's playing.

276
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,960
He's a nice, thrashy, heavy guitar player.

277
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,960
He's grown up with those boys since the beginning.

278
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,440
He was the one guy that could do it.

279
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:52,200
I think if it wasn't Gary, I probably would have lost a lot of interest maybe in the last

280
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,200
record they did.

281
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,960
Of course, it also depends on how it turns out in the end.

282
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,080
You know, I make my final judgment when I hear the artwork that you produce.

283
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:08,320
Yeah, because Holt isn't a part of this new project, if I'm not mistaken.

284
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,320
He's not supposed to be.

285
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,940
He says he's too busy doing other things.

286
00:20:11,940 --> 00:20:18,920
But see, that to me boils down to once again, money.

287
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:24,340
To me, I think Slayer, probably the Slayer brand name makes more money than the Exodus

288
00:20:24,340 --> 00:20:32,200
brand name, but the Exodus brand name probably makes more money than the Kerry King name

289
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,200
does.

290
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,200
It's more established.

291
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,400
Well, yeah, for now, for sure.

292
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,400
It'd be hard to see.

293
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,680
I don't know.

294
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,680
You never know.

295
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,000
I mean, Exodus has such a deep history.

296
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,760
It'd be kind of hard to see Kerry coming up with a side project that could be bigger than

297
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:49,760
that.

298
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,600
But still, it's Kerry King, one of the men who built Slayer.

299
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,600
We'll see.

300
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,400
This will be exciting.

301
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,480
Does he cover?

302
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,760
Does he do No Sleep Till Brooklyn live since he played?

303
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,200
Please, God, no.

304
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:17,440
Johan, an album that you're looking forward to in 2024?

305
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:27,480
First of all, for the record, I would like to see Alex and Kerry do something to their

306
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:28,480
hold on.

307
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,480
Hold on.

308
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,480
We'll get to that later.

309
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,480
Albums for.

310
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,480
Okay.

311
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,480
That was a wish.

312
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,480
Yeah.

313
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:50,360
Crazy Leaks are releasing an album in March.

314
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:53,360
For those who don't know, Crazy Leaks is a Swedish band.

315
00:21:53,360 --> 00:22:04,280
They play 80s metal and they do it really well.

316
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:12,920
They're releasing an album in March and I think it's only, I don't know, but the songs

317
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:24,600
they released so far are pre-recorded songs of early albums, but in a modern way.

318
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:31,040
And that's better this time.

319
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:40,320
And one of the songs are Sword and Stone by Kiss or Paul Stanley, Victor?

320
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:47,880
Paul Stanley wrote it and then it's been covered by Bonfire is probably the most famous one.

321
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:57,800
I think that Bonnie Tyler or someone like that may have covered it as well.

322
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,280
Or someone that's known for pop music that's covered.

323
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,120
It's been covered a bunch of times.

324
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:06,760
It's a good song.

325
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:15,480
So if I have one album just right off the bat, it's Crazy Leaks.

326
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:22,320
Perhaps an odd choice, but I really like that band.

327
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,600
Yeah.

328
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,400
Very talented.

329
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,840
Let me ask you this with Crazy Leaks.

330
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:39,720
Crazy Leaks, Eclipse, all the other bands that are kind of doing 80s type hard rock.

331
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:45,460
Who do you think out of all the Swedish bands is the one that people should check out?

332
00:23:45,460 --> 00:23:53,240
Is it Crazy Leaks or is it someone else?

333
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,680
We have a bunch of them.

334
00:23:54,680 --> 00:24:00,640
That's why I'm asking.

335
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:09,840
Crazy Leaks is my favorite since a couple of years.

336
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:21,720
I can't point out just them because we have so many of them from the Sunset Strip era

337
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,400
bands.

338
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,680
And they're really good.

339
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:33,320
So now Crazy Leaks is one of the best, of course, because they tour the world and they

340
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:42,680
get a lot of quite big gigs, I must say.

341
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,240
Excellent.

342
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,720
Crash Diet, of course.

343
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:52,160
But I think Crazy Leaks has a bigger worldwide audience.

344
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,800
I don't know.

345
00:24:53,800 --> 00:25:04,680
Perhaps they are better on social media, but I think that Crazy Leaks are ahead of the

346
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,160
bands right now.

347
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,160
Okay.

348
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,320
But if you have a different opinion, please let me know.

349
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,320
Okay.

350
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,640
Brad, how about you?

351
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,920
An album that you're looking forward to?

352
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:18,920
Okay.

353
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:24,120
It's going to be probably the best album of the year.

354
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:25,120
Okay.

355
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:30,640
And it's going to be Kansas with Blues, Serenade playing guitar.

356
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,600
How's that forgetting two of our...

357
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,240
There you go.

358
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:41,280
They're going to bring back that album cover, but they're going to Photoshop blues in there

359
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,520
behind the guy in the front.

360
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,520
Yeah.

361
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,840
Sorry, I had to do that.

362
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,560
I have a question for Johan.

363
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,040
I see he's over there cutting something.

364
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,320
Crazy Leaks, I don't know that I've seen them playing in the US.

365
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,320
Have they toured here?

366
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,240
They have a lot of the boats tour.

367
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,240
Oh, yeah.

368
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,240
Yeah, yeah.

369
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,240
Yeah.

370
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,240
Yeah.

371
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,240
Everybody gets on those cruises.

372
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,440
I don't know how they pull it off and not...

373
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,440
They should play here too.

374
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,760
I mean, use the cruise to get over here.

375
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:15,760
I know it's tough.

376
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,760
It's expensive.

377
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:24,080
Of course, Saxon album was one I was really looking forward to and I'm very happy with

378
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,080
it.

379
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,680
I'm enjoying it a lot, but we already talked about that.

380
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,840
The New Judas Priest album, I got to say that I really like what I've heard off of that

381
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,680
and I'm kind of excited to see that or listen to it, I should say.

382
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,040
I'm not going to really watch it.

383
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,520
Bruce Dickinson, we have a second song.

384
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,040
Yeah.

385
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,960
I'm excited to hear the album.

386
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,640
What was the other guys?

387
00:26:51,640 --> 00:27:00,600
The one that Derek Sherinian is doing, Whom Gods Destroy with Bumblefoot and Dino Jelucic

388
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:01,600
singing.

389
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,440
I don't know if I'm saying that right, but Dino.

390
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,120
Yeah, there you go.

391
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:10,040
That I'm interested to hear.

392
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,320
And I wonder if they'll actually play.

393
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,440
I wonder if Dino will actually go out and tour with those guys.

394
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,680
That's the problem with a lot of these things that come out now.

395
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,960
It just seems like they're projects and not real bands and as far as being able to see

396
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:26,960
them.

397
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:27,960
Tough.

398
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,000
So we'll see what that's like.

399
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,440
But those are the ones I've kind of got on my radar.

400
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:41,880
Yeah, for me, I was definitely looking forward to the Bruce Dickinson album.

401
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,760
That was the biggest one for me.

402
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:51,800
But these first two singles have kind of left me cold.

403
00:27:51,800 --> 00:28:00,080
Instead of Bruce kind of doing his thing as he has in the past, I feel like it's Bruce

404
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:07,800
with leftover Iron Maiden material from the last few albums is just not exciting at all.

405
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:17,760
And as as detuned as the guitars may be, as kind of that kind of heaviness that is being

406
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:24,560
added that Maiden doesn't add, there hasn't been anything that's really wad me yet.

407
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:30,080
And unfortunately for me, the Judas Priest kind of falls into the same category.

408
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:38,680
I think that the songs sound okay, but there's nothing that's kind of like, oh, shit, this

409
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,600
one's really caught me.

410
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:49,920
Whereas with Firepower right away, the title track and then the other two singles that

411
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:55,840
they released shortly thereafter really got me enthusiastic for the album.

412
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,200
And maybe that had a lot to do with the fact that I didn't really care for the previous

413
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,400
few albums.

414
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,880
But this one, what I've heard so far to me has been kind of lackluster.

415
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:08,880
I don't know.

416
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:15,760
I'm hoping that there will be some deeper cuts that I'll be into.

417
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:16,760
Let's hope so.

418
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:17,760
Yeah.

419
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,560
I kind of feel like the videos have distracted me from the music.

420
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:29,160
So I'm looking forward to just actually listening to the album.

421
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:37,960
Another one that sounds intriguing is North Sea Echoes, which is the Fates Warning Boys.

422
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:43,280
But everything that we've heard apparently is what the rest of the album is going to

423
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,280
sound like.

424
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:52,400
There's two of them and acoustic or just one guitar.

425
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,400
There's no drums.

426
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,920
There's no bass on the album.

427
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,920
What?

428
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,000
Okay, screw that.

429
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,000
There's no bass.

430
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,880
I'm out.

431
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:09,800
If I read the press release correctly, which maybe I messed that one up, but I believe

432
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,200
it's just the two of them, the entire album.

433
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,000
Well, then screw that one.

434
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,600
Let's move on.

435
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:25,000
Lords of Black have a new album coming out and I never get enough Ronnie Romero.

436
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,360
I'm actually giving a pass to those guys because that is like a real band.

437
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,360
They've never played over here that I know of, but I do like this stuff.

438
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,040
I'm excited to hear that.

439
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:42,400
And believe it or not, I'm kind of interested to hear the McMarr's album, all of it.

440
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:49,960
The McMarr's album to me, the three songs that I've heard actually sound pretty cool.

441
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,080
I mentioned it.

442
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,120
I believe I posted a video off of it today.

443
00:30:54,120 --> 00:31:01,240
It's kind of what I wanted Motley Crue to do with that last album and some of the stuff

444
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,760
that they've done since.

445
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:09,720
You can tell that Mick is still trying to write some heavier stuff.

446
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:14,360
I know right away after this third single was released, we started getting bombarded

447
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:19,560
with John Five interviews, at least reading about them.

448
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,820
So I'm guessing that Motley Crue is going to release their new music around the time

449
00:31:23,820 --> 00:31:31,240
that Mick drops his stuff just as a way to screw with him, especially since he's already

450
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:39,880
won kind of the first round of court hearings that they had.

451
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:40,880
So we'll see.

452
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,000
That will be interesting.

453
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,520
Yeah.

454
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:52,000
If I can jump in, I mean, Mick Mars is a legend.

455
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:00,960
And if he releases a solo album and in this time and this age, I'm going to buy it directly.

456
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:12,320
It's so exciting to see what he has to, you know, Mick Mars, I mean, he's always been

457
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,320
in shadow of the other three guys in Motley Crue.

458
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:26,840
So I think it's going to be nice to hear what he has to and probably good because the songs

459
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,240
that we have heard, they were good.

460
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:42,120
So yeah, you know, sorry, my English is so...

461
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,080
Yeah, I pause.

462
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,760
But yeah, I have a lot to say about Mick Mars.

463
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:57,960
I respect Mick Mars.

464
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,520
That was what I wanted to say.

465
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,520
Yeah.

466
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:08,120
To me, it was interesting hearing this last single and thinking back about, especially

467
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:17,680
with the first three albums, some of his just really good solid soloing that he's done on

468
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:24,320
a lot on those three albums specifically, where he probably doesn't get the recognition

469
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:31,200
that the other three like Johan just mentioned, but because a lot of that recognition also

470
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:37,800
has to do more with stuff that happens outside of the studio or off the concert stage more

471
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:44,560
than the actual music, which kind of sucks because you think about, I was thinking about

472
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,880
it today or yesterday when I posted the video, I scheduled it.

473
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:57,600
I think about a track like Fight for Your Rights off of Theater of Pain, the last song

474
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:04,920
off of Theater of Pain, which the song onto itself probably isn't that big of a deal in

475
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,960
comparison to the rest of those three albums or to their catalog.

476
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,240
But the solo off of that is just so good.

477
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:22,000
I think back at how Mick hasn't garnered that attention that the other people have through

478
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:31,440
his music, but because I think by the time we got to Girls, Girls, Girls or even Dr.

479
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:37,800
Feelgood, his soloing, I think, was kind of cut back by that point.

480
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,080
It wasn't as extravagant or out there.

481
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:46,440
And I'm not saying that he was in vain Malmsteen, but some of those solos, you go back and listen

482
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,440
to them and you think, wow, he was really on the top of his game.

483
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:58,000
He was really, I think, rubbing elbows with George Lynch and Vivian Campbell and some

484
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,000
of the other people.

485
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,360
I'm not saying that he was better, but you listen to some of those solos and you think,

486
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:09,360
yeah, he was a gunslinger back then.

487
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:16,160
And unfortunately, you think of some of the big singles that they've had after that.

488
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,360
And his soloing kind of wasn't there.

489
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:26,680
Again, listen to something like the solo off of Look That Kills.

490
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:36,280
It's not in vain, but it hits the sweet spot when that solo comes up.

491
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,280
It's right.

492
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,840
It propels and takes the song to another level for me.

493
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:46,800
Well, you can remember a Mick Mars guitar solo as opposed to an Invi.

494
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:53,320
All of his guitar solos are memorable, just like George Lynch and Warren D. Martini and

495
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,440
all those guys.

496
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:59,240
You can remember those guitar solos in your brain when you're singing those songs to yourself.

497
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:08,480
And also, Mick Mars, Motley Crue, the sound of Motley Crue is mostly in Mick Mars to me.

498
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,820
He's got a tone that no one else has ever matched.

499
00:36:12,820 --> 00:36:15,360
It's his own personal tone.

500
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,720
It's really in his hands.

501
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:23,640
And yeah, like you said, great riffs, great guitar solos.

502
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:29,160
And without him, just like Slayer without Tom Haraya in this band, it's not Motley Crue

503
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,600
to me without him.

504
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:38,440
And really, the only guitar player in the world they could have now is John Fybe, because

505
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:45,160
that guy has a pretty amazing ability to mimic someone else's sound like you heard in those

506
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,120
Van Halen cover songs he did with David Lee Roth.

507
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:56,360
He's the one guy that may do justice with Motley Crue, but that tone will not be there

508
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,200
that Mick has.

509
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:05,040
The thing is, now the rumors are, and I don't know if the band are the ones that have been

510
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:15,020
floating this out, that everything after New Tattoo was John Fybe to begin with.

511
00:37:15,020 --> 00:37:20,360
So I don't know if that's true or not.

512
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:26,200
I know that there were rumors that DJ Yashba had his hand in some of that stuff as well,

513
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,880
because he was working with Nicky.

514
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,680
But yeah, I mean, John Fybe is a ridiculous player.

515
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:43,800
So I'm hoping that he helps take them someplace else where it makes the music worthwhile, because

516
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,120
we know how talented he is.

517
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:52,960
And I know I'm trying to think of, I was listening to a conversation on another show where they

518
00:37:52,960 --> 00:38:01,200
talked about how John Fybe's work in Rob Zombie wasn't really that good and this or that.

519
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,380
And I'm thinking, maybe you really haven't listened to him in John Fybe, because he's

520
00:38:05,380 --> 00:38:11,840
done some, or in Rob Zombie, he did some cool shit in that band and some memorable riffs

521
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:20,120
where the riffs themselves, it's a classic thing where you're humming along to that riff

522
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,480
with the lyrics in your head.

523
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:23,480
Yeah.

524
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:28,800
You know, being in an industrial metal type band is not a good place for someone like

525
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,800
John Fybe.

526
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:35,600
He's not going to be able to shine as much as his talent should let him.

527
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,480
So it's good to see him go off and do other things.

528
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:39,480
Yeah.

529
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,640
Well, that's why I think he had the solo albums that he's released as well.

530
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,600
And his day job helps those types of things take place.

531
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:50,600
That's right.

532
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,480
All right.

533
00:38:52,480 --> 00:39:00,720
So my next question shows that you guys are looking forward to seeing some tours that

534
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:07,360
have been announced, some festivals that have been announced.

535
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,360
Let's talk about that.

536
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:13,840
Brad, before we move on, how about Ace Freely?

537
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,400
He's got a new album coming out.

538
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:16,400
Yeah.

539
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,400
You know what?

540
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:23,600
And I love Ace, but he's really fucking everything up with his comments in the meeting.

541
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,520
Oh, for sure.

542
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,960
He sounds like an old man.

543
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,240
Yeah, I get that.

544
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:40,360
I get that Gene and Paul have been slagging him for years and whatnot.

545
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:47,680
And a lot of what's coming out now, it makes me feel that it has to do with the fact that

546
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:54,840
he didn't make any money off of those two with this end of the road tour and he was

547
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,600
banking on it.

548
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:04,880
I know some behind the scenes stories that would make a lot of people go, what the hell

549
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,320
is going on in this guy's head?

550
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,800
But it's his prerogative.

551
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,480
Who knows if what I've been told is true anyway.

552
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,020
But yeah, I'm looking forward to the album.

553
00:40:18,020 --> 00:40:22,800
The album comes out next month and we've only heard one single so far.

554
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:29,560
So that kind of frightens me at the moment.

555
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:37,680
I'm interested in hearing the rest of the Steve Brown and PJ, you know, the two guys

556
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:38,680
from Trickster.

557
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:49,720
Plus Joey from Z Rock, from Z02 is involved in this album as well.

558
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:59,000
I mean, what I don't get is why he didn't write with his band, with the band, because

559
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:04,360
they're ultra talented guys and it seems like they're brought in to do these tours, but

560
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:09,600
nobody's writing with them outside of Accept.

561
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,080
So I mean, I don't know.

562
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,360
I want to be positive.

563
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:20,120
But every time that I hear it's the best, it's the best album since the 78 solo album.

564
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,760
Yeah, you say that every fucking album.

565
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,960
You know, you were so close to doing that impression.

566
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:31,480
He started and then he just kind of didn't go there.

567
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:32,480
What?

568
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:33,800
Yeah, it's early.

569
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,720
It's the best album since 78.

570
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:37,720
There you go.

571
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:38,720
Nailed it.

572
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:40,720
I'll give it a period out statement.

573
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:46,040
Well, I can just give you his laugh.

574
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:47,040
Very good.

575
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,360
And let's see, we got a new end machine album coming out.

576
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,000
I wasn't real impressed with the first single.

577
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,160
So I'm still trying to see.

578
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,160
Here's the thing.

579
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,920
That second Lynch Mob album to me.

580
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:07,820
Look, I think the first Lynch Mob album is classic.

581
00:42:07,820 --> 00:42:15,640
But that second one with Robert Mason, you kind of get rid of that Queen cover, which

582
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:16,640
what?

583
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,800
The cover, Tie Your Mother Down.

584
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,000
Yeah, your mother down.

585
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Great song.

586
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,440
But yeah, the solo in that is ridiculous.

587
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:26,640
Not in a good way.

588
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,440
But it's just bland.

589
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,200
That cover just so damn bland.

590
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,480
The rest of the album is great.

591
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:40,320
It's a bunch of songs towards the end of that that are just so good, which rival what he

592
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,560
did with those first few Dockin albums.

593
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:45,560
And I get it.

594
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:46,560
All right.

595
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:47,560
So we bring Robert back.

596
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,840
We bring Steve Brown in.

597
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,000
Okay.

598
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:57,080
And it seemed like they were about to hit their stride.

599
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:03,880
And then Robert Scott, and we have Gresh in the band.

600
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:09,560
I'm guessing that Jeff Pilsen is probably now writing all the lyrics instead.

601
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:14,000
And Jeff, to me, as much as I love him as a bass player, is kind of hit and miss with

602
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,000
a lot of stuff.

603
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,760
He's either great or just kind of vanilla with stuff.

604
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:24,680
I don't know their idea to cover all these pop songs.

605
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,320
It's no sense to me at all.

606
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,320
Why?

607
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,720
I mean, I'd rather them cover.

608
00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:36,360
And then have Glenn Hughes sing on that second album.

609
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,320
Was like, what?

610
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,920
But I was not.

611
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:49,320
Cover some obscure Van Halen song or an obscure Blue Oyster Cult song.

612
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:58,400
Cover something that who the fuck wants to hear these two cover?

613
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,520
What the hell is the name of the guy from Nsync?

614
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:02,680
Justin Timberlake.

615
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,880
Why are they covering Justin Timberlake?

616
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,720
Who's going to buy that?

617
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:10,360
I don't know.

618
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:21,480
It's no different than a black metal band doing a cover of a pop song and seeing people

619
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,360
say, wow, that's so great.

620
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,360
Fucked with the original.

621
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,000
Yeah, I don't care about somebody fucking with the original.

622
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,840
I want something that's entertaining or something that sounds good.

623
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,840
And it just why?

624
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:40,760
You know, it just doesn't make sense to me at all why those two guys have to do that

625
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:41,760
specifically.

626
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:42,760
So, okay.

627
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,040
I mean, I got one more album I want to talk about.

628
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,640
They will move on to concerts.

629
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:47,640
Okay.

630
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,280
I listened to about half of this today.

631
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:50,880
Riley's LA Guns.

632
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:51,880
Okay.

633
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,320
I was kind of bittersweet being that he just died.

634
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:55,320
Right.

635
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,440
And I mean, obviously, I don't know if this band is going to carry on or not, but I got

636
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,640
to tell you that the album is pretty.

637
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,160
It's pretty nice to listen to.

638
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,040
It's really good songs and good performances.

639
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,600
I'm pretty impressed with it.

640
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:14,880
Like I said, I've only heard four or five songs, but it's pretty good.

641
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,440
And we'll see what happens with those guys.

642
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,840
So they have announced the show without him, at least.

643
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,840
Oh, really?

644
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:23,840
Yeah.

645
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,560
And it's not M3.

646
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:26,800
And it's not M3.

647
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:31,800
It's somewhere in Connecticut or something, if I'm not mistaken.

648
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:32,800
But.

649
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:33,800
Yeah.

650
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,920
Anyway, from what I've heard on the album, I really like it.

651
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,720
So I would encourage people to check it out.

652
00:45:40,720 --> 00:45:42,000
Yeah.

653
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,360
Real quick shout out here to Tony in the chat as well.

654
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,160
Another one of my great patrons.

655
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,760
Thank you, sir, for joining us.

656
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,760
He says he's really.

657
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,760
Hey, Tony.

658
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,080
Yeah.

659
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,080
So anyway.

660
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,080
All right.

661
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,080
Let's go back to Ed here.

662
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:07,480
Are there any shows that are tours that have been announced that you're interested in checking

663
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:08,920
out?

664
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,040
You're going to laugh at this one.

665
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,640
The Flock of Seagulls is on tour.

666
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:14,640
They're coming to Lexington.

667
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,160
I think I might have to go see that.

668
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,160
Of course.

669
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,760
And by the way, I just saw here, I was looking at the.

670
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:27,320
They're having some band called Strange Love Open, which is a Depeche Mode.

671
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:28,320
Yeah.

672
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:29,320
Yeah.

673
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:30,320
Have you heard of that?

674
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,520
One of your favorite bands, the Depeche Mode?

675
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:33,520
Yeah.

676
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:34,520
So, yeah.

677
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,520
Yeah.

678
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:41,200
So the reason I know about that is because we did buy tickets to see the Depeche Mode

679
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,680
here in Spain.

680
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:43,680
Nice.

681
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,040
That's what I thought.

682
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:52,040
And the thing is, I was asked by my oldest son if they were playing a specific song on

683
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,040
this tour.

684
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,000
And I said, I don't think they're playing that song.

685
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,680
He goes, well, that's my favorite song.

686
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:02,680
And I said, right, but you have to understand that's off of their not their last album,

687
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:06,760
but their next to last album, which isn't one of their bigger albums.

688
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,360
So that's replaced by something off of their newest album.

689
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,000
We're one tour too late on this.

690
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:19,840
And when I went to go look up the set list, I saw with Flock of Seagulls.

691
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,280
I'm like, oh, so Flock of Seagulls is opening up.

692
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,600
And then I said, I saw no Strange Love tribute to Depeche Mode.

693
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:33,400
So that's why I knew that that was actually taking place.

694
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,600
Jeff Tate is coming in March.

695
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,000
And I have a friend that wants me to go with him to see that.

696
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,200
Pantera Lama God is coming to our local arena.

697
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,640
That'll be the first time a band like that has come here.

698
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:53,440
Although I'm not going to that because I think I told you it costs like $65 to get a back

699
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:54,440
row seat.

700
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,680
I'm just I don't want to sit in the back row and watch that.

701
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,160
But I'm still happy they're coming.

702
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,080
It's a need for Lexington to do that.

703
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,280
And then Black Flag is coming here.

704
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,880
They came here in 2013.

705
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,920
I went and saw that.

706
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:15,120
I don't know if I'm going to go this time because when I went the last time, one of

707
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,120
their old singers, Ron Ray's, was touring with them.

708
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,780
So that made it a little more significant to go.

709
00:48:22,780 --> 00:48:24,560
This time it's just going to be Greg Jinn.

710
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,560
He's kind of a strange dude.

711
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:33,800
I remember his opening band was himself and another side project where he just kind of

712
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:39,520
doodled progressively in his Greg Jinn way, if you know what I mean, listening to his

713
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:44,960
old lingering guitar solos on some of those latter records of Black Flag.

714
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,240
It was kind of like that.

715
00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:48,560
It wasn't very interesting.

716
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,960
But it was kind of cool, though, to go to the show and hear those songs played in a

717
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:58,840
big club like that with a crowd.

718
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,280
And I'm going to go see Colin Hay again.

719
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:03,740
That's another nonmetal thing.

720
00:49:03,740 --> 00:49:05,660
He's come into Lexington for the first time.

721
00:49:05,660 --> 00:49:07,360
I usually travel to go see him.

722
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:14,360
And of course, he's the singer from Men at Work who's had a great solo career.

723
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:19,640
I can't see on the schedules that I have here what's coming the second half of the year.

724
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,040
I don't ever go to festivals anymore.

725
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,520
My older body just can't handle.

726
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:30,360
Also, being self-employed, it's kind of hard for me to go off to a festival either because

727
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,080
a client may need me at any time.

728
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:37,400
But I need to be able to plug into a laptop, that kind of thing.

729
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:42,320
So that's about it for this year, which is not a bad start, I think, if I hit one or

730
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:43,320
two of those.

731
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,120
All right, cool.

732
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:50,400
Johan, we were kind of talking before the show started about some of the stuff that

733
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:51,800
you're looking into.

734
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:58,200
What are some of the concerts or festivals that you're interested in checking out?

735
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:09,160
Well, there are Arch Enemy and In Flames are going out together, as you perhaps may have

736
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:13,080
seen in the world.

737
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:21,600
They're coming to Gothenburg and Sweden, I think it was November 24.

738
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:27,480
Of course, I have to attend that concert because that's the...

739
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:35,280
I mean, Arch Enemy and In Flames, that's in Gothenburg.

740
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:39,800
That's going to be something special.

741
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,720
Besides that, this is the thing.

742
00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:50,520
My son is turning 18 this year and he wants to go to Wacken.

743
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,880
Yeah, yes.

744
00:50:53,880 --> 00:51:04,400
And I have never been to Wacken, but I have a friend and his son and my oldest son are

745
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:05,400
friends.

746
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:13,520
So they want to go to Wacken together and so we are planning to go to Wacken on a bus

747
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:14,840
trip.

748
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,920
Yeah, quite expensive.

749
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:26,440
We have not decided yet, but yeah, probably if because my wife says that, of course, he

750
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:31,280
has to go to a hard rock festival when he turns 18.

751
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:36,680
So I guess we have to go to a hard rock festival when he turns 18.

752
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:42,800
So I have to go to Wacken and sleep in a tent at the age of 51.

753
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:47,520
Yeah, and see a lot of metal bands.

754
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,600
So we'll see.

755
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:56,520
So guys is good, but that's...

756
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,200
That's mother of the year right there.

757
00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,200
Yeah, I know.

758
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:00,200
I know.

759
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:01,200
Good job.

760
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,240
Tell her I said she's awesome, man.

761
00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:06,240
That's cool.

762
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:09,200
Take your boy.

763
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,200
You think that you do?

764
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:12,200
Yes.

765
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:16,360
You got to do this stuff, even if it's expensive, man.

766
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,320
These are times with your son you're never going to be able to have back.

767
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,680
So yeah, I know, I know.

768
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:22,680
Yeah, I know.

769
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:23,680
Go all in.

770
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:24,680
Yeah.

771
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:30,280
But yeah, so probably I will go to Wacken.

772
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:31,280
I didn't expect that.

773
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,200
You're going to bar a soap with you.

774
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:38,400
I'm a bit disappointed of the lineup at Sweden Rock this year.

775
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,360
So far, I must say.

776
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:41,360
It's good bands.

777
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:46,160
I mean, Judas Priest, of course, but I've seen Priest now for...

778
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,360
I've seen them so many times.

779
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:56,720
So yeah, perhaps Wacken is the new... my new thing to see.

780
00:52:56,720 --> 00:52:59,000
A new experience.

781
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,000
That's awesome.

782
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,680
Yeah, I don't know.

783
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:02,680
We'll see.

784
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,800
But yeah, probably Wacken.

785
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:06,800
Okay.

786
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:07,800
Yeah.

787
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,480
Brad, aside from M3.

788
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:15,320
Yeah, and we're definitely doing that.

789
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,000
Hopefully, Shelly will be going with me.

790
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:23,680
If not, I'm going to make Ed drive down from Kentucky or maybe I'll go pick him up.

791
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,120
But yeah, M3.

792
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,360
Yeah, I'm not... there's just some good bands on there, but I can't even remember who all

793
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:31,360
is going to be there.

794
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:32,360
I'll be there.

795
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,120
That's the important thing.

796
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:36,920
For me, Saxon.

797
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,400
We're back to talking about Saxon.

798
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,440
They're coming to the US.

799
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,240
I'm going to go to...

800
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:44,360
Nathan and I are going to take your son.

801
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:45,920
We're going to Texas.

802
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:51,600
We're going to do all three Texas shows, Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas.

803
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,000
And it's going to be awesome.

804
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,080
URI Heap warming up.

805
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:56,360
I've never seen URI Heap.

806
00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:02,920
I realize that's kind of a tribute band at this point, but they seem that the last album

807
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:09,440
was good and yeah, they seem to be good live from what I've seen on YouTube.

808
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:15,040
So I'm excited about three shows in Texas and being able to eat some good Texas food.

809
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:20,920
And that would be something, Johan, is to get you to Texas with me.

810
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:28,080
And we'll just eat Tex-Mex for a week.

811
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,120
Is Texas food good?

812
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:31,120
Yeah.

813
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:32,120
Oh yeah.

814
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,120
It's really good.

815
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:34,120
Yeah.

816
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:35,120
It's fantastic.

817
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:40,680
I do have to say, and I know this is in the food channel, but New Mexico, which is right

818
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,280
next door.

819
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,440
I love New Mexican food and it's unbelievable.

820
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:47,440
Okay.

821
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:48,440
All right.

822
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:49,440
Enough about food.

823
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:57,120
Udo, who I love, of course, he postponed his tour last year.

824
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:01,640
Haven't heard anything about it coming on the books for this year, but I know that they

825
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,240
told people to keep their tickets.

826
00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:04,240
They didn't refund.

827
00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:07,640
You might've been able to get a refund, but they didn't cancel.

828
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,620
They postponed, but I haven't heard anything about that.

829
00:55:10,620 --> 00:55:17,120
If they come, I'll be going to see them at least once.

830
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:23,320
And I know this isn't a concert, but I'm hoping to see Victor on this side of the ocean.

831
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,600
We'll see where he ends up in his adventures.

832
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:28,600
We'll see.

833
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:29,600
Yeah.

834
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:34,920
Although I do have to say it'd be worth it just to go to New Jersey to eat a pizza with

835
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,320
him and Steve and Mike.

836
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:39,320
That'd be pretty incredible.

837
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,320
That would be a good time.

838
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,680
We'll see if we can make that happen.

839
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:46,680
Yeah.

840
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:52,280
And if I'm driving out that way, hey, Kentucky's on the way, Ed.

841
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:53,280
That's right.

842
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:54,280
You might have to pick me up.

843
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:55,280
Yeah.

844
00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:01,000
Well, at least I got to have dinner with you or something, Ed.

845
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:06,080
So yeah, that's one of my, there you go.

846
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:11,960
One of my New Year's resolutions is to meet up with at least three signals from Mars dudes.

847
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:16,640
So that's a good three different or the same person three times.

848
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:17,640
No, different.

849
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:18,640
Yeah.

850
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:19,640
When's I haven't?

851
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:20,640
Yeah.

852
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:21,920
I'm trying to like, I'm like a collector here.

853
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:22,920
Okay.

854
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:23,920
I don't know.

855
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:29,240
Metal Dan seems to be the easiest, the lowest hanging fruit of the bunch.

856
00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:31,480
Because I know I'll be going to LA more than a couple of times.

857
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,440
And I realize he's not in LA, but he's close enough.

858
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:35,440
Close enough.

859
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:36,440
Yeah.

860
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,400
Oh, I should be able to make that happen.

861
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:44,440
I won't be able to get to Spain probably this year, but you never know.

862
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:49,120
Like I said, they still, I'm sure there's still a cruiser too, that they need to.

863
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:50,120
Isn't it?

864
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,040
Wait, Tony, Tony, aren't you in Barcelona, Barcelona?

865
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:54,040
Yeah.

866
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:55,040
Yeah.

867
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:56,040
Okay.

868
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:57,040
A lot of cruise ships go to Barcelona.

869
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:58,800
I've in fact, I've done that one.

870
00:56:58,800 --> 00:56:59,800
It's been two days.

871
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:00,800
I was, it was great.

872
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:01,800
Biggest port in Europe.

873
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,040
Biggest cruise port in Europe.

874
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:09,040
So I really want to do the, of course I got to get to Sweden.

875
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,360
I have to get to Sweden.

876
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,560
So you have to.

877
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:18,120
Yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it has to happen.

878
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:19,880
Cool.

879
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:27,960
So for me, I just mentioned the Depeche Mode with our stateside trip.

880
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:33,400
It kind of, um, so you're seeing them here.

881
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,600
You're seeing them in the U S. No, I'm seeing the Depeche Mode in Spain.

882
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,160
Where in Spain?

883
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:40,160
In Bilbao.

884
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:41,880
Okay, cool.

885
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,200
Yeah.

886
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:53,040
And then, uh, we had bandied about seeing, uh, Metallica in Madrid and, uh, and the same

887
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:57,960
exact day that Metallica is playing Madrid, one of the two days, Scorpions is playing

888
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:08,040
a festival about an hour and a half away and it's Scorpions and Royal Blood and Queens

889
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:09,040
of the Stone Age.

890
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:14,920
So there's a few bands that we actually enjoy in this household.

891
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:21,120
The thing is we're going to the States three days later, so I don't want to go out to a

892
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:27,960
festival and be out of whack for a few days when the trip to the States is already going

893
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:32,000
to be, you know, enough of a grind.

894
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:39,560
So I'm looking at having to drive either from Boston to New Jersey or from Long Island to

895
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:40,560
New Jersey.

896
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:48,000
So, um, tack on a festival to that and it won't be pleasant, but while we're stateside,

897
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,840
there are a few shows that we've already seen that are going to be taking place.

898
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,480
Must be my youngest son's delight.

899
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:59,500
Limp Bizkit is actually playing in New Jersey on July 30th.

900
00:58:59,500 --> 00:59:06,120
So when I told him that he started freaking out saying, we're going, we're going, we're

901
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,120
going.

902
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:13,400
And this week I told him, I said, look, so long as everything lines up and hotels don't

903
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:19,600
all of a sudden become out of whack after that show and we're going to try to go.

904
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:25,720
Because the other option is at the same venue.

905
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:30,320
I mean, Bush is playing who I'm not a huge fan of Bush, but it's one of these things

906
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,600
where are we're there.

907
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:37,440
So I want to go to, I want to go see some sort of show.

908
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:44,920
So it's Bush, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains and Candlebox playing on a bill with

909
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,060
with the Limp Bizkit.

910
00:59:46,060 --> 00:59:51,480
You have Corey Feldman as one of my good.

911
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:52,480
Yeah.

912
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:59,440
So that would almost be worth it to, I mean, it's just like a car wreck, you know, you

913
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,000
get a comedy show with your music show.

914
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:06,720
Well, there's, there's a band from Sweden that's opening up as well.

915
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:19,000
See if I can pull up the names of the, of all the artists involved.

916
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,760
Name of the tour is Loserville tour.

917
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,760
Name that one right.

918
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,480
All right.

919
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:31,080
And the bands are.

920
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:35,520
Oh, okay.

921
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:41,800
Actually, Johann already answered something from this.

922
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:42,800
Okay.

923
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:47,640
So it's, it's Bones.

924
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:54,200
Nate No Face, Corey Feldman and riff raff.

925
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,800
And it's saying riff raff is only going to serve as the MC.

926
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:04,600
So that means it's going to be three, three, three bands.

927
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:05,600
Okay.

928
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,440
Plus Limp Bizkit.

929
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,320
I've seen Limp Bizkit live already at a festival.

930
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:12,320
Yeah.

931
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:16,200
And you want to do that again?

932
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:22,640
I mean, I realize it's for your son and I think that's the best reason to go to that.

933
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,840
Johann is saying he would see them.

934
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,440
Yeah, I saw them.

935
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:40,120
Now it was 20 years ago, perhaps almost now, but they were good live back then.

936
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,120
Right.

937
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:49,520
And they felt very fresh at the rock festival here in Sweden.

938
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:56,120
So only good memories, but I don't own a record of them.

939
01:01:56,120 --> 01:02:02,960
And I have, I don't think that I have ever listened to a song from them besides from

940
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,200
the radio.

941
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,840
But the show was good.

942
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:09,840
Really good.

943
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:16,880
Yeah, my son has the entire catalog at this point.

944
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:27,800
Listen, whatever you think about their music or think about Fred Durst, who most of people's

945
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:33,120
ire goes towards them, they're actually really good musicians.

946
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:37,760
Wes Borland is a sick guitar player.

947
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:46,000
If you check out some of his solo stuff, he's released stuff under the moniker Black Light

948
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,400
Burns and it's actually pretty cool stuff.

949
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:56,760
If you ever saw the first Underworld movie, he did soundtrack to that.

950
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:05,160
And there's a song off of that, that they put a quote unquote supergroup together.

951
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,920
Tim, it's Richard Patrick of Filter.

952
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:13,760
It's Charlie Closer, I think is his name on bass from Nine Inch Nails.

953
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,680
The drummer was somebody well known as well.

954
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,400
It's slipping my mind right now.

955
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:20,400
I don't know.

956
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,880
I think it'll be an interesting show.

957
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:28,240
We'll see.

958
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:29,240
We'll wait to see.

959
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:30,240
It's early on the year.

960
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:36,920
It's January, so there can be a lot of added between now and the summer to that area.

961
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:41,840
I know Green Day is actually playing as well, but the tickets are just astronomical.

962
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:52,120
Similar to what you said, Ed, the last row of Citi Field in New York where the Mets play,

963
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,760
the tickets are $180.

964
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,400
That's insane.

965
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:03,240
And that's a 70,000 seat venue.

966
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:07,920
They're playing a few days later at Hershey Arena in Hershey, Pennsylvania, which is about

967
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,040
three hours away.

968
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:15,040
And the most expensive ticket is like $100.

969
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:20,160
I'm not saying that that isn't ridiculously expensive either.

970
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:24,840
I wouldn't normally spend that much, but to see a show in the States while we're there,

971
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:31,760
I would splurge a little more.

972
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:37,240
The other two shows that I mentioned are a little bit more economical and closer to home.

973
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:42,160
That makes them a little bit easier to digest.

974
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:47,680
Anyway, all right.

975
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,080
Last question for everyone from tonight's show.

976
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:55,640
John kind of started going down this route already, so I'm going to have Johan kick this

977
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:56,640
off.

978
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:04,960
If there's one thing you wish would become true in 2024 music related, Johan, you already

979
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:06,960
started to say it.

980
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:08,360
Continue your thought.

981
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,000
What would you wish for?

982
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:11,360
Yeah.

983
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:25,480
I would wish for Alex and Geddy to perform live again with some drummer, new music, old

984
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:26,480
music, whatever.

985
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:36,840
I would like to see those two gentlemen perform live music again.

986
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:50,360
I would love to hear some Rush live before it's too late.

987
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:55,040
They are still active in music, both of them.

988
01:05:55,040 --> 01:06:06,800
It's a shame that the legacy of Rush is buried with Neil because I think they have such a

989
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:15,560
big fan base and Rush has a fan base that is beyond normal fan base.

990
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:20,040
It's almost like following.

991
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:29,320
I think it would be good to the world to hear Rush again.

992
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:41,920
That perhaps sounds a bit big, but I think you guys know what I mean.

993
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:49,800
I would like to see Geddy again on Scandinavian soil, or at least European soil, with Alex

994
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:54,400
to perform again.

995
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,880
I miss those guys a lot.

996
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:01,000
Yeah.

997
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,960
Real quickly here, I missed Tony's comments.

998
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:11,000
He mentioned that he's got tickets to Mr. Wigg and Ramstein in Barcelona.

999
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,000
They play together?

1000
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:15,400
No.

1001
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:26,600
I've seen Ramstein on a pretty funky bill here in Spain, so it wouldn't surprise me.

1002
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:34,960
Anyway, Brad, what's your one wish for the year, music related?

1003
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,720
That's a great question.

1004
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,160
I know I've been racking my brain.

1005
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:41,680
My wish is actually coming true.

1006
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:42,680
It's Saxon.

1007
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:47,360
Musically, it's Saxon in Texas.

1008
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:53,800
That ought to check all the boxes for me.

1009
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:54,800
You're good with that?

1010
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:55,800
Nothing else?

1011
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,520
Oh yeah, there's a lot of things I'd like to see.

1012
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:00,520
Go to Ed.

1013
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,000
Oh, I want to see Raven.

1014
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:07,720
I feel like I need to see those guys now that I've been listening to so much of their music

1015
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:08,720
for the last year.

1016
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:10,720
Who got me into that?

1017
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:12,720
Was that you, Ed?

1018
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:13,720
Yeah.

1019
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,160
I'll claim that one for my list too.

1020
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:17,560
I would love to see Raven.

1021
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:18,560
All right.

1022
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:22,120
So if Raven comes near Kentucky, I will make that trip.

1023
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:23,120
We'll go together.

1024
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:27,720
Because those are the kind of bands that will come through Lexington or some smaller acts

1025
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:32,720
to the same place like Jeff Tate's going to be.

1026
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:38,600
So the question, are you referring to something like projects that you know are about to happen

1027
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,400
or you could dream up something?

1028
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:41,400
You can dream up.

1029
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:43,560
This is fantasy land.

1030
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:51,320
Well, besides bringing people back from the dead like Dimebag and Bon Scott, one of my

1031
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:57,880
greatest wishes before these two bands are gone, I would love to see ACDC and Def Leppard

1032
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:06,880
write a good old classic hard rock record like they did back in the early mid-80s.

1033
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:14,680
With of course my greatest wish I've spoken of is Cary Camortig.

1034
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,920
I love his vocal style.

1035
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:26,840
So I'm excited that the one thing that I would dream is inviting Dave Lombardo over Paul.

1036
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:29,960
I respect Paul.

1037
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,080
I love the guy.

1038
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:41,600
He's a head brother, but he's still not my favorite when it comes to him and Dave.

1039
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,360
But yeah, I think that's my, I can't think of anything else.

1040
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,200
Well, yeah, let me also put on that list.

1041
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,520
I hope Anthrax writes a good thrash metal record.

1042
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:56,960
I wasn't terribly disappointed in Worship Music or the other one.

1043
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,200
For All Kings.

1044
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,960
For All Kings, yeah, they had some good thrashy tunes.

1045
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:04,920
In other words, they were getting a little more back to what I want to hear and I hope

1046
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,760
they ramp it up a little bit more.

1047
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:13,840
You know, like Dave Mustaine, still writing some good thrash metal songs that I want to

1048
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,400
listen to over and over again.

1049
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:20,280
So that's high on my wish list too.

1050
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,280
What about you, Victor?

1051
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:23,280
Okay.

1052
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:30,400
Real quickly, I just wanted to confirm that I did see Ramstein with on that same day,

1053
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:33,040
Cohedent Cambria actually was on the bill.

1054
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:37,920
So that's probably the wackiest one out of the bunch, but Ramstein, Alice in Chains,

1055
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:45,200
F-Tones, Megadeth, Soulfly, Cohedent Cambria, Meshuggah.

1056
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:47,040
And I didn't get to see any of the other bands.

1057
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:51,160
It says Annihilator and a few other Spanish bands.

1058
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:55,840
Johan, you've seen Meshuggah?

1059
01:10:55,840 --> 01:11:01,240
Yeah, of course.

1060
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:02,720
Not my kind of...

1061
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:03,720
Yeah, yeah.

1062
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:09,640
Does a place go nuts when they play there?

1063
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:10,640
Of course.

1064
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:18,080
They have, you know, the drummer has a fan base that is like Neil Peirce.

1065
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,520
It's, yeah, very special.

1066
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,440
But very nice guys.

1067
01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:25,960
Meshuggah, very, very nice guys.

1068
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:27,600
Oh, they're Swedish.

1069
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:29,720
Of course they're nice.

1070
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:30,720
Yeah.

1071
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:31,720
They are.

1072
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:32,720
Yeah.

1073
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:33,720
Good guys.

1074
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:34,720
Yeah.

1075
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:42,800
So, so for me, one thing that I would like to see happen to me, it would be, and this

1076
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:51,480
is no surprise to anyone, would be some sort of John Bush involvement with either with

1077
01:11:51,480 --> 01:11:55,120
Anthrax directly.

1078
01:11:55,120 --> 01:12:00,320
I was thinking about this today, you know, could we see Anthrax and Armored Saint go

1079
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:04,280
out together now that Anthrax is going to be playing less shows?

1080
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:10,560
And that way at some point we have John come up and sing a few songs from his era.

1081
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:14,440
I think that they would go down well.

1082
01:12:14,440 --> 01:12:17,840
Here's the problem with that is that it makes too much sense.

1083
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:25,480
I mean, it would be, you know, if I don't know what the deal is with those guys.

1084
01:12:25,480 --> 01:12:28,840
I mean, I don't think there's any bad feelings between them.

1085
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:35,840
There was for a long time, there is no longer at the moment because over the course of the

1086
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:42,520
last few years, things got smoothed over, but when they initially split, things were

1087
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,000
bad on both sides.

1088
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:54,080
I think the whole Metal Allegiance, Metal Alliance thing kind of helps smooth that over.

1089
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:59,160
But previous to that, things weren't the greatest.

1090
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:04,520
Yeah, that's actually a brilliant idea, Victor.

1091
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:12,160
You should get the promoter's fee for that if they do it.

1092
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:19,640
Well, and if that doesn't take place, have John go out with some other well-known people

1093
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,000
to do some of those songs.

1094
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:22,000
I think it's...

1095
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:23,600
He has talked about that, right?

1096
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:31,480
I mean, he's talked about it, but I think that there hasn't been the demand that they

1097
01:13:31,480 --> 01:13:32,640
expected.

1098
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:39,960
But I think for that to be big and draw people, you need to surround him with known players.

1099
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:43,160
You know, you can't just go out with...

1100
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:44,160
Me on bass.

1101
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:45,160
Right.

1102
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:56,360
Well, outside of that, but I mean, imagine that the biggest guy in the band is James

1103
01:13:56,360 --> 01:14:00,480
Christian, who was the bass player of Testament.

1104
01:14:00,480 --> 01:14:04,760
That's really not going to get a lot of people in the seats.

1105
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:06,840
You need to get...

1106
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,080
If they had his sister in there, though.

1107
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:12,720
Oh, well, that changes things, of course.

1108
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:22,360
No, but what I'm getting at is if you get a drummer, if you get a Dave Lombardo or Mike

1109
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:30,240
Portnoy or someone who's been a fan base of their own, that's how you make that work.

1110
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:36,440
You surround him with four guys that are going to pull people in, and then you sell that

1111
01:14:36,440 --> 01:14:40,640
tour that way.

1112
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:51,720
If it's going to be him with Rob Caggiano and Paul Crook and Joey Vera on bass and I

1113
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:57,200
don't know who on drums, then no, you're not getting a lot of people in there.

1114
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:58,200
You know, because...

1115
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,360
Probably two to three hundred people.

1116
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:01,360
Right.

1117
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:09,880
But you need to get people that are important within the metal community to make that happen,

1118
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:10,880
of course.

1119
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:11,880
Yeah.

1120
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:12,880
Yeah.

1121
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:16,640
You're right, man.

1122
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:22,440
In any event, I do want to thank Johann, Ed and Brad for joining me today.

1123
01:15:22,440 --> 01:15:31,160
I do want to thank Sean and Tony for joining us in the chat as well.

1124
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:36,200
Thank anyone who's listening to the replay or watching the replay of this.

1125
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:40,920
We are back with Signals from Mars, hopefully every week from here on out.

1126
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,840
At least that's my plan.

1127
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:46,840
Let's see if we stick to that.

1128
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:48,760
And that's pretty much it.

1129
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,960
Any parting words before we wrap things up here, Ed?

1130
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:53,960
Any parting words?

1131
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:59,280
I'll just keep it metal in 2024.

1132
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:01,480
We'll see you soon, hopefully.

1133
01:16:01,480 --> 01:16:02,480
Awesome.

1134
01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:03,480
Johann.

1135
01:16:03,480 --> 01:16:06,840
Go out and see shows.

1136
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:08,320
We see you there.

1137
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:09,320
Brad.

1138
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:10,320
Johann's correct.

1139
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:15,320
First of all, I want to say it's really cool that Tony's hanging out there and I hope he

1140
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:18,800
has fun at any shows that he goes to.

1141
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,120
And hopefully Sean's still there.

1142
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:22,400
Sean's still there.

1143
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:25,560
Keep sending Victor ideas for videos to show.

1144
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:27,880
I've enjoyed the stuff you've been sending.

1145
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,040
Yeah, everybody needs to keep rocking.

1146
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:31,040
I got to be honest here.

1147
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:40,080
I'm still overwhelmed with my 2023 list.

1148
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:44,840
And I've been listening to so much music lately, which has been great.

1149
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:52,080
And I'm going to do a better job for 2024, staying up with the music, not wait till 2025

1150
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:53,680
to start listening to it.

1151
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,280
It was a weird year for me, this 2023.

1152
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,600
So anyway, it's good to see everybody.

1153
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:00,040
Good to see you, Victor.

1154
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:01,880
Good to see you, Johann.

1155
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:02,880
And of course, Ed.

1156
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:03,880
Ed's awesome.

1157
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:04,880
Ed's over here.

1158
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:05,880
Yeah.

1159
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:06,880
As you all are too.

1160
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:07,880
I appreciate it.

1161
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:08,880
We didn't get to Jeremy's stuff.

1162
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:09,880
Which is fine.

1163
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:16,880
It's like if you're not going to show up for the show.

1164
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,960
No, you don't get to have a list.

1165
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:21,520
No, no.

1166
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:23,000
Jeremy sent a list of stuff.

1167
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:27,640
Well, he can talk about it next time he's on the show.

1168
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,680
Oh man, and it's not loading on my end.

1169
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:34,200
Oh, that's all right.

1170
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:35,560
Oh boy.

1171
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,800
I promised him I would read his stuff.

1172
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:41,240
Yeah, Jeremy, Jeremy Weltman, everybody follow him on Twitter.

1173
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,440
You can just see everything he's doing there.

1174
01:17:43,440 --> 01:17:47,160
You can now follow, you can now follow Ed on Twitter as well.

1175
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:51,240
I'm not going to call it that.

1176
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:54,680
I opened a Twitter account so I could follow Brad's yardmell.

1177
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,880
See that?

1178
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:02,640
I'm secretly planning some stuff with Ed in the future.

1179
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:04,200
So we'll see.

1180
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:05,320
Okay.

1181
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,520
So real quickly, let me go over these before we wrap things up.

1182
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:09,520
So thank you.

1183
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:13,160
Jeremy's not going to watch this.

1184
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:14,160
There's no way he'll know.

1185
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:16,040
Yeah, no, not at all.

1186
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:17,840
Like he's not watching this tomorrow.

1187
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:18,840
No.

1188
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:19,840
All right.

1189
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:23,280
So he's saying Saxon, which is out.

1190
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:27,240
East wasp, except Europe and others.

1191
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:31,040
Looking forward to the Tony Martin Black Sabbath box set.

1192
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:34,040
Yes.

1193
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:39,200
Looking forward to the heavy metal assault tour with girls school Raven Alcatraz and

1194
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,360
Air Force.

1195
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:43,880
That would be good.

1196
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:44,880
Let's see.

1197
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:50,320
Priest Saxon and Uriheap tour.

1198
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:58,960
He's also let's see a one off UK gig in London by Scorpions and ZZ Top with rival sons.

1199
01:18:58,960 --> 01:18:59,960
Wow.

1200
01:18:59,960 --> 01:19:02,200
That's a weird bill.

1201
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:08,040
He's looking forward to great weather for festival season.

1202
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:14,240
Finding a new band or two to listen to or maybe even catch live.

1203
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:23,720
Watch to Johan's heart rush going for it live again for Johan, obviously, is what he says.

1204
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:29,680
And he's also looking forward to some great signals from our shows on the usual topics.

1205
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,860
So there you go.

1206
01:19:31,860 --> 01:19:35,260
We did the proper icing on the cake with that.

1207
01:19:35,260 --> 01:19:36,840
Thank you, Brad, for reminding me.

1208
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:39,480
And I apologize, Jeremy, for not remembering.

1209
01:19:39,480 --> 01:19:41,880
Been a crazy day.

1210
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,560
Anyway, guys, thank you once again.

1211
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:48,240
I appreciate you spending time with us tonight.

1212
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:54,520
Both everyone here present and those that are checking this out after the fact.

1213
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:59,160
See you, Tony, who just said goodbye.

1214
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:05,800
And we will see all of you next time right here on signals from Mars.

1215
01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:30,920
See you, folks.
