But, you know, I don't know. 592 00:34:35,500 --> 00:34:36,740 Easy to say that. 593 00:34:36,740 --> 00:34:41,380 This stuff doesn't really excite me like, you know, I'm not going to be talking 594 00:34:41,380 --> 00:34:48,100 about the new Kerry King song, but, you know, these new kind of super groups. 595 00:34:49,580 --> 00:34:50,860 They're grand. 596 00:34:50,860 --> 00:34:54,060 Yeah. And that and that's the whole thing, because Mike Orlando, 597 00:34:54,060 --> 00:34:59,020 for example, who's in this band, is in a band with Corey Glover from Living Color. 598 00:34:59,380 --> 00:35:03,420 And the songs that I've posted have sounded have sounded neat, 599 00:35:03,420 --> 00:35:07,060 have sounded better than the stuff that Corey did with George Lynch, for example. 600 00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:08,820 But it's what you're saying. 601 00:35:08,820 --> 00:35:13,700 We have so many of these bands thrown together where. 602 00:35:16,220 --> 00:35:18,460 Where's the investment on our end? 603 00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:22,220 You know, is the music going to grab us enough to say, 604 00:35:22,980 --> 00:35:26,820 you know, wow, that was cool, I'd like to hear more, I'd like to see more. 605 00:35:26,820 --> 00:35:30,780 Sons of Apollo, for example, is a band that kind of did that for me 606 00:35:30,780 --> 00:35:34,740 in the sense that I like Bumblefoot. 607 00:35:34,740 --> 00:35:38,020 I'm not a huge fan of Jeff Scott's Soto, 608 00:35:38,020 --> 00:35:42,580 but I thought that the music was better than what I had expected. 609 00:35:43,140 --> 00:35:49,380 Earlier this week, I posted a track from Black Country Communion. 610 00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:52,540 Band has never done anything for me. 611 00:35:52,540 --> 00:35:57,460 Because I think that Glenn Hughes on his own, his solo stuff is better. 612 00:35:57,460 --> 00:35:58,460 The. 613 00:36:00,060 --> 00:36:03,860 The sum is never greater than the parts for a lot of these bands. 614 00:36:04,180 --> 00:36:08,300 And for example, that Black Country Communion 615 00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:11,180 or whatever the band is called. 616 00:36:12,940 --> 00:36:14,740 It's got one riff that gets boring. 617 00:36:14,740 --> 00:36:18,380 You get to the solo, you have a monster player like Joe, 618 00:36:18,380 --> 00:36:22,700 Bonamasa, and you're thinking, OK, it's time for him really to kick this song 619 00:36:22,700 --> 00:36:26,380 into another gear. And it's oh, wow, he's noodling on the guitar 620 00:36:26,380 --> 00:36:29,780 with no distortion. That kind of is a mood killer. 621 00:36:30,780 --> 00:36:32,580 You know, I don't know. 622 00:36:32,580 --> 00:36:36,180 But, um, Brad, what are your thoughts 623 00:36:36,180 --> 00:36:40,220 both on this band and some of these thrown together supergroups? 624 00:36:41,220 --> 00:36:42,220 Wow. 625 00:36:44,220 --> 00:36:45,940 I think that's a great question. 626 00:36:45,940 --> 00:36:49,940 Wow. I'll agree this with 627 00:36:50,580 --> 00:36:56,500 as I do with all of these type of projects is that I think this could be really awesome. 628 00:36:56,940 --> 00:36:59,900 And then usually I'm somewhat disappointed. 629 00:37:00,340 --> 00:37:04,340 So I'm going to I'm really excited to hear what they're doing. 630 00:37:04,580 --> 00:37:06,940 And I hope it's going to be really cool. 631 00:37:06,940 --> 00:37:10,500 And I hope they do something more than just an album. 632 00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:12,780 It'd be cool if they would get out there and play. 633 00:37:12,780 --> 00:37:15,020 So I would I would go see that. 634 00:37:15,020 --> 00:37:19,620 And if they do the Bush Air Anthrax, I'd love to see that. 635 00:37:20,420 --> 00:37:23,420 So, yeah, bring it, boys. 636 00:37:23,420 --> 00:37:27,620 Now, all these other supergroup bands. 637 00:37:29,620 --> 00:37:33,420 You know, at least like Sons of Apollo, they were they were a real band. 638 00:37:33,420 --> 00:37:36,020 I mean, they toured.

And I think it was the best vehicle I've ever seen for Jeff Scott Soto. 643 00:37:55,820 --> 00:38:00,620 You know, where he he he sounded he sounded great in that band. 644 00:38:00,620 --> 00:38:03,020 He wasn't obnoxious or annoying. 645 00:38:04,460 --> 00:38:07,780 You know, trying to, you know, trying to look like a gangster or something. 646 00:38:07,780 --> 00:38:12,220 He was just a great rock singer when with with those guys.
