WEBVTT 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:05.639 Welcome one and all to episode 412 of Signals 00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:10.160 from Mars. I'm your host, Victor, and we're back. 00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.080 After what, a month away? Not on purpose. We'll 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.719 get to that in a second. There are a lot of repeating 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:22.600 themes for this episode. Did I say that we had 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.039 a good turnout of votes, that a lot of people 00:00:26.039 --> 00:01:02.939 voted? joke and ikeed yes uh yeah because you 00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:08.620 will hear me say uh a lot of people voted over 00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:12.859 and over again uh anyway yeah it's cool turnout 00:01:12.859 --> 00:01:18.459 uh 1989 uh good year for music every year is 00:01:18.459 --> 00:01:21.980 a good year for music to be honest at least that's 00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:25.540 my opinion uh if you don't feel that way i feel 00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:31.120 sorry for you But anyway, yeah, so 80 albums 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.659 were voted on. I do say during the episode 81, 00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:38.439 that is incorrect. Someone submitted Bad Brains 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.159 as Brains Quickness or I wrote it down incorrectly. 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:49.200 So I had separated the votes as Bad Brains Quickness 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.420 and Brains Quickness. And then after the show, 00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:55.900 when I was running down the list to the patrons, 00:01:56.710 --> 00:02:01.090 Off air, I realized my mistake. Now, it didn't 00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:03.870 really affect the outcome of what's discussed 00:02:03.870 --> 00:02:09.229 during the episode. It ends up moving from number 00:02:09.229 --> 00:02:14.110 70 -something to number 50 -something with the 00:02:14.110 --> 00:02:17.909 combination of the votes for both albums. So, 00:02:17.909 --> 00:02:23.199 hey, I can admit when I make a mistake. I don't 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:29.400 think I'll have an issue with my dessert being 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:34.259 withheld as a result of messing that up. I don't 00:02:34.259 --> 00:02:36.639 think anyone is going to be shaking their fists 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:41.360 or pointing their fingers at me. And if so, I'm 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:46.960 human, damn it. Anyway, quick shout out to the 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.509 patrons. Let's see. Hey, we lost one. Look at 00:02:52.509 --> 00:02:58.610 that. So we have the current batch of patrons. 00:02:59.430 --> 00:03:03.729 We have Sean Richman. We have Chris from Dust 00:03:03.729 --> 00:03:08.030 Bowl Geek. We have Tony Espin, Anthony Mackey, 00:03:08.129 --> 00:03:12.110 Ed Ferguson, Johan Edestrom.

We have 00:03:20.770 --> 00:03:24.580 from Yarg Metal. Proudly sporting his T -shirt 00:03:24.580 --> 00:03:27.300 during the episode, if you watch the YouTube 00:03:27.300 --> 00:03:31.159 version. It is Mr. Brad Dahl, Dr. Poison himself. 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.620 We have Mike Jones. We have Jeremy Weltman. We 00:03:36.620 --> 00:03:42.180 have Steve Hoker. And we have Steven Saylor. 00:03:42.259 --> 00:03:44.340 Thank you, all of you guys, for your support. 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:49.539 We lost Pascal, looks like. I guess this was 00:03:49.539 --> 00:03:54.020 not for him. And that sucks, but is what it is. 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.560 I can't hold a gun to anyone's head to have them 00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:00.800 jump on over to Patreon. If you enjoy the show 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.400 enough and want to contribute two bucks a month 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.979 to get my other podcast, that is cool. That is 00:04:08.979 --> 00:04:13.159 fine. I appreciate it. I appreciate all the support 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.240 you can provide, even if it's just sharing this 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.600 online. If you can tell from my voice. I've been 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:24.040 battling a bunch of nasty different things. We've 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.680 also had family issues with guests and different 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:31.360 people that were scheduled to do shows. We're 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.079 going to be playing catch up in May with regards 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:41.040 to that. So no biggie. I don't know that anyone 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.959 has missed out or missed us. If you have, I appreciate 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.490 it. Either way, we're back with this 1989 episode, 00:04:48.589 --> 00:04:50.649 some technical difficulties, but I think we get 00:04:50.649 --> 00:04:53.670 things sorted out to the point where it is entertaining 00:04:53.670 --> 00:04:56.709 nonetheless. Let's see where your favorites of 00:04:56.709 --> 00:04:59.730 89 end up on the list. Thanks for listening. 00:04:59.889 --> 00:05:16.800 Here we go. Welcome one and all to this episode 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.600 of Signal from Mars. I'm your host, Victor. And 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.620 joining me tonight is, on the west coast of the 00:05:24.620 --> 00:05:30.519 U .S., Metal Dan, Johan in Sweden, and Jeremy 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:36.019 in the U .K. We are finally back with another 00:05:36.019 --> 00:05:44.709 live episode. We are live with our 1989... episode 00:05:44.709 --> 00:05:49.129 a long time in the making the voting was great 00:05:49.129 --> 00:05:55.850 for this and i project this to be a a fun episode 00:05:55.850 --> 00:05:59.290 i think you guys will enjoy it quite a bit and 00:05:59.290 --> 00:06:06.509 um a lot of voting took place as i said 81 albums 00:06:06.509 --> 00:06:12.790 were voted on which is a new record for a um 00:06:13.990 --> 00:06:20.790 a year end or a year episode. And we're going 00:06:20.790 --> 00:06:23.769 to stick to the top 15 here. When this, when 00:06:23.769 --> 00:06:26.250 the podcast format does come out of this episode, 00:06:26.310 --> 00:06:30.930 I will post within the show notes, all 81 albums, 00:06:31.009 --> 00:06:35.610 but we'll go 15 through 11 real quickly here. 00:06:36.750 --> 00:06:44.509 And I've got a few. surprises in store because 00:06:44.509 --> 00:06:48.589 what usually happens is as i'm going through 00:06:48.589 --> 00:06:52.850 these lists i have metal dan i have brad who 00:06:52.850 --> 00:06:56.149 are quick to the draw and as i'm describing albums 00:06:56.149 --> 00:07:00.170 they automatically start to read off the same 00:07:00.170 --> 00:07:02.550 wikipedia page that i'm reading and figuring 00:07:02.550 --> 00:07:06.430 out what the album is beforehand so We're going 00:07:06.430 --> 00:07:08.629 to be doing something different for 10 through 00:07:08.629 --> 00:07:11.470 1, which hopefully will add to the entertainment 00:07:11.470 --> 00:07:16.050 factor. I worked on this and I've had it in my 00:07:16.050 --> 00:07:19.810 mind for a few weeks and I hope you guys think 00:07:19.810 --> 00:07:22.990 it's cool as well. Anyway. Victor, can I just 00:07:22.990 --> 00:07:26.509 interrupt? Sure. We have some people in the messenger 00:07:26.509 --> 00:07:34.149 chat that are looking for a way in. Ed and Brad. 00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:37.519 There seems to be some kind of problem, but I 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:42.779 just want to let you know. Tell them, Victor. 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:50.120 Oh, go to the week before on the Friday, last 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:54.819 Friday, and the link is there. Yeah, I'll paste 00:07:54.819 --> 00:08:03.629 it in the group now as well. See comment earlier 00:08:03.629 --> 00:08:07.069 before we joined that I almost said the same 00:08:07.069 --> 00:08:10.990 thing to Victor and he paused and said, I said, 00:08:11.050 --> 00:08:18.689 I do. I do support for a living. As somebody 00:08:18.689 --> 00:08:21.470 said, project management, that's what I do. I 00:08:21.470 --> 00:08:29.110 would like to be retired like Brad. So would 00:08:29.110 --> 00:08:39.720 I. I can tell Johan while we're waiting that 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.919 I have the Hives tickets for later in the year. 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:51.759 Mm -hmm. Goal achieved. Never done. Really great 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.080 band, especially live. They're better live than 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:59.139 on record, my opinion. I'm looking forward to 00:08:59.139 --> 00:09:06.159 it. A lot of energy. Yeah, sure. Yeah, that's 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:10.600 something that we'll talk about in the coming 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:14.820 weeks, possible shows for the summer, because 00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:18.759 there's a lot of options for us actually here 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.379 in Europe as well as while we're in the States. 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:32.159 It'd be interesting. Joining us is Mr. Ed. Mr. 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:37.980 Ed. Can you hear me? We can hear you, Ed. Mr. 00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:40.539 Ed's good. Everybody calls me Mr. Ed because 00:09:40.539 --> 00:09:43.840 of that show with the horse. Yeah. It's been 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.860 my whole life. I didn't want to call you that. 00:09:48.299 --> 00:09:50.539 You know what I'm talking about, Johan, Jeremy, 00:09:50.740 --> 00:09:53.600 Mr. Ed? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm American. My childhood, 00:09:53.659 --> 00:09:57.250 yeah. It was a horse called Mr. Ed. Very, very 00:09:57.250 --> 00:09:59.769 good looking horse though. Very good looking 00:09:59.769 --> 00:10:07.190 horse. Here we go. Excellent. I'm waiting to 00:10:07.190 --> 00:10:10.509 see if Brad joins in because Brad has a knack 00:10:10.509 --> 00:10:14.870 for joining us right as the recording usually 00:10:14.870 --> 00:10:18.549 starts. So the editing becomes always fun on 00:10:18.549 --> 00:10:24.320 my end. Come on, Brad. If you're going to join 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:35.620 us, let's go. I'll be right back. Victor has 00:10:35.620 --> 00:10:38.539 been challenged this whole time of getting things 00:10:38.539 --> 00:10:41.559 synced up in the behind the scenes of what's 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.600 going on is what I've seen so far. Yes, it is. 00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:48.120 It is always fun. And it's sometimes with these 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.860 episodes with so many people. Luckily, there 00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:56.600 is a plug -in that kind of levels everything 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:03.179 out for us. Brad is playing the part of Brad. 00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:07.740 Like I said, he likes for me to have challenging 00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:11.620 edits. So welcome to the show, Brad. Hey, thanks, 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.019 guys. Glad to be here. What's going on with Patreon? 00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:16.659 What do you mean what's going on with Patreon? 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:21.059 It went down for a few minutes. I still can't 00:11:21.059 --> 00:11:23.779 get it to load. Luckily, I had it bookmarked 00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:27.960 or loaded already. Yeah, there you go. I posted 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:34.919 the link last week. All right. There's Brian. 00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:38.039 Hey, Edgar. You're right. I'm late. Actually, 00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:40.659 I've been here for about 20 minutes, so not really 00:11:40.659 --> 00:11:45.460 late. In any event, all right. So let's kick 00:11:45.460 --> 00:11:48.669 this off. We're going to start out. At 15 here, 00:11:48.769 --> 00:11:52.830 go 15 through 11, and then we'll jump on into 00:11:52.830 --> 00:12:01.389 the top 10 with all the surprises on many different 00:12:01.389 --> 00:12:07.909 levels. But anyway, this is a great dichotomy 00:12:07.909 --> 00:12:10.669 out of the 81 albums. There's a lot of different 00:12:10.669 --> 00:12:13.669 types of hard rock and metal mixed in here. So 00:12:13.669 --> 00:12:16.309 I think everyone will be pleased. I don't know 00:12:16.309 --> 00:12:18.110 that everyone will be pleased with the positioning 00:12:18.110 --> 00:12:25.649 of things, but yeah, it should be good. Anyway, 00:12:25.830 --> 00:12:35.330 kicking things off at 15 is the 1989 release 00:12:35.330 --> 00:12:44.600 from Exodus, Fabulous Disaster. At 14, an album 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:51.059 that a lot of people voted on. It is Disney After 00:12:51.059 --> 00:12:55.220 Dark, D .A .D. with No Fuel for the Pilgrims. 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:59.220 Man, that is an amazing, I think it's my favorite. 00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:03.779 Absolutely. Is it? What, your favorite album? 00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:07.240 Of theirs, I think. Oh, of theirs, okay. Okay. 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:13.740 All right. D -A -D. No fuel for the pilgrims. 00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:17.860 Actually, this is my number one. I've not heard 00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:23.580 of this. What? Yeah. What's the band name? D 00:13:23.580 --> 00:13:27.159 -A -D. I think that's the hard part for them. 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.120 They were called Disneyland After Dark originally, 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:32.600 and Disneyland, of course, sued them for that. 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:36.200 So when you do searches D -A -D, you have to 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:40.139 use a hyphen, D -A. Stuff like that. And they 00:13:40.139 --> 00:13:42.919 can be difficult to search. In the U .S., they're 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:46.639 not popular at all. It's difficult to search 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.759 for. I can't get merchandise from them here. 00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:53.059 They're in Sweden or Norway, whatever. Denmark. 00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:57.240 Sorry. That area. Yeah. But amazing band. No 00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:01.000 disrespect. Interesting. I'll have to listen 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.299 to it later. Especially if Johan thinks it's 00:14:04.299 --> 00:14:09.059 number one. Yeah, because it's... Especially 00:14:09.059 --> 00:14:12.139 for the name. When that album came out, it was 00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:18.059 very fresh. It felt so fresh. A Danish band that 00:14:18.059 --> 00:14:23.299 sounded kind of like ACDC. The songs were very 00:14:23.299 --> 00:14:30.279 melodic. I don't know. It felt so fresh. Absolutely 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.460 my number one that year. So if you haven't heard 00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:35.899 that album, please check it out. It's great. 00:14:36.730 --> 00:14:40.169 From Top to Bottom, Jihad, and all those songs. 00:14:40.450 --> 00:14:44.149 They're huge in Europe. They do massive festivals. 00:14:44.350 --> 00:14:46.789 In the U .S., they can't even get any attention. 00:14:47.009 --> 00:14:49.470 And they're on the Monsters of Rock Cruise this 00:14:49.470 --> 00:14:53.309 year. Cool. Next year. And the bass player only 00:14:53.309 --> 00:14:58.529 has two strings. Oh, they're good. Jesper Binzer. 00:15:00.529 --> 00:15:07.840 Yeah. Okay, cool. Edgar Winterson mentioned Nuclear 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.960 Salt, Handle With Care. That is on the list of 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:20.679 81 albums. I'll say that. So, okay. Let's move 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:26.419 on here. At 13, King's X with Gretchen Goes to 00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:35.259 Nebraska. Number 12, Kiss. with Hot in the Shade. 00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:47.799 And at 11, Alice Cooper with Trash. All right. 00:15:48.559 --> 00:16:07.549 So let's get ready for the top 10 here. Number 00:16:07.549 --> 00:16:18.649 10. Any guess as to what that is? I'll play it 00:16:18.649 --> 00:16:31.710 again. Yep. Presto. Number 10. No, it is not 00:16:31.710 --> 00:16:38.039 eccentric. It is what? Did you, was the drums? 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:43.899 Yeah. That was the room. That's the second song 00:16:43.899 --> 00:16:49.980 from Headless Cross. It is Black Sabbath, Headless 00:16:49.980 --> 00:16:55.799 Cross, Johan got Devil and Daughter. Man, Johan, 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.460 we need a prize for you. That was awesome. April 00:16:58.460 --> 00:17:03.179 17th, my brother's birthday. 1989, recorded between 00:17:03.179 --> 00:17:06.380 August and November of 88, recorded in several 00:17:06.380 --> 00:17:11.400 studios, Soundmill, Leeds, West, Yorkshire, England, 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:16.839 Woodcray Studios, Berkshire, England, Amazon 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:21.359 Studios, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. Album 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:26.400 is 40 Minutes, 13 Seconds. Label was IRS, just 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.720 recently reissued all those IRS albums. And the 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:35.099 producers were Tony Iommi and Cozy Pal. The singles 00:17:35.099 --> 00:17:38.940 were Headless Cross, Devil and Daughter, which 00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:43.299 Johan just guessed, and Call of the Wild. And 00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:47.099 interestingly enough, the cover for Everywhere 00:17:47.099 --> 00:17:52.440 But the UK has color, and the UK cover was black 00:17:52.440 --> 00:18:00.829 and white. Hmm. Any explanation for that? I just 00:18:00.829 --> 00:18:08.730 saw, let's see, alternate cover. Nothing that 00:18:08.730 --> 00:18:12.170 I can see going over the notes real quickly here. 00:18:12.549 --> 00:18:16.069 Because we only got color television in about 00:18:16.069 --> 00:18:26.210 2021. Anyone want to say anything about this 00:18:26.210 --> 00:18:31.829 album? I bought it when it came out, and it's 00:18:31.829 --> 00:18:37.109 a great album. Great sounding. Not every song 00:18:37.109 --> 00:18:42.670 is great, but perhaps four of them is really 00:18:42.670 --> 00:18:47.009 good. So I really can recommend that album. But 00:18:47.009 --> 00:18:52.829 I guess that everyone has heard it. So great 00:18:52.829 --> 00:18:59.690 one. It's a great lineup. Yeah. That's for sure. 00:19:00.130 --> 00:19:06.190 Yeah, Cozy was a good addition. I'm not sure 00:19:06.190 --> 00:19:08.369 musically what he brought to, you know, as far 00:19:08.369 --> 00:19:10.710 as writing, what he brought to the album. But 00:19:10.710 --> 00:19:14.430 I think Johan nailed it. I mean, it's got four 00:19:14.430 --> 00:19:17.269 or five good, strong songs, and then the others 00:19:17.269 --> 00:19:20.289 are just kind of okay. But overall, I think it's 00:19:20.289 --> 00:19:26.799 a fantastic album. I think it was, is this the 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.099 first one that Tony Martin really was the singer? 00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:34.359 Yeah. Eternal Idol. I guess he redid Ray Gill 00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:37.539 and stuff. Yeah. He just came in and redid the 00:19:37.539 --> 00:19:39.720 vocals. This one, he was there. This one, I think 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:43.259 he wrote the lyrics. Yeah. It actually says that 00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:46.839 I owe me Tony Martin and cozy pal wrote everything. 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:51.039 And then Jeff Nichols co -wrote all but two of 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:56.079 the tracks. Cool. Yeah. I, I mean, they got a 00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.839 lot of crap from people that I know when this 00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:03.819 album came out. I remember sitting in class and 00:20:03.819 --> 00:20:05.779 these guys sitting in front of me were talking 00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:08.779 about the video and they were mocking Tony Martin 00:20:08.779 --> 00:20:11.880 saying that he sang with a lisp. And I was like, 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:13.680 what are you talking about? He didn't sing with 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:17.960 a lisp. You guys are. Anyway, they they didn't 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:20.180 like Tony Martin at all. And I don't think that's 00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:22.039 a new thing. I think there's plenty of people 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.299 out there that don't like Tony Martin. But, you 00:20:24.299 --> 00:20:28.339 know. I don't know what's not to like. He sounds 00:20:28.339 --> 00:20:32.900 great on this album. Agree. I think everybody 00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:35.640 sounds great on the album. Especially the drums 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:39.279 from Cozy. Yeah, well, you would hope if Cozy's 00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:42.240 in the production, when one of the production 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:44.519 chairs, that he'd get the drum sounding the way 00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:47.960 he wanted. So I love Cozy, pal. He's one of my 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:50.740 all -time favorite drummers. One of the guys 00:20:50.740 --> 00:20:53.220 that I could just sit there and watch, you know. 00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.319 I don't care about what else is going on on stage. 00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:02.220 He's just, he's, he's awesome. Yeah. Anyone else? 00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:09.799 Headless cross. All right. Let's move on to the 00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:20.839 next one. Number nine. Wow. Any guesses on that 00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.859 one? They're playing in San Diego at the end 00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:27.599 of the month. What was that, Ed? Dan's going. 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:32.579 Oh. Yeah, they're playing in San Diego at the 00:21:32.579 --> 00:21:35.440 end of the month, and the band is called Testament. 00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:38.460 This band? Oh, you're right. At number nine? 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:43.200 Uh -huh. Who did you say, Dan? Testament. Testament. 00:21:46.299 --> 00:21:51.160 At number nine. Testament, practice what you 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:56.720 preach. You can tell by the production of it, 00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.119 even if you didn't recognize the song. You can 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:04.680 tell. Man, I saw them on this tour at the Country 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:09.559 Club in Reseda back in the day. I had an argument 00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:12.380 with my, she's my wife now, then she was just 00:22:12.380 --> 00:22:15.000 my friend. She didn't go with me. I had to go 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.799 on my own. She got mad at me for acting. badly 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:24.380 and so I fucked up that date and but here we 00:22:24.380 --> 00:22:27.660 are so that's testament on that tour I've seen 00:22:27.660 --> 00:22:29.720 them many times and like I said they're in San 00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:31.839 Diego at the end of the month but they're not 00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:36.460 playing LA for some reason and I should go you 00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:47.849 should go Ed so 89 was a weird year for me Music 00:22:47.849 --> 00:22:52.369 -wise, I told you in the past, my parents put 00:22:52.369 --> 00:22:56.109 me into a treatment center when I was 19, and 00:22:56.109 --> 00:23:01.670 it was April of 89. And I didn't follow all their 00:23:01.670 --> 00:23:03.569 plans, so they didn't let me come back home. 00:23:03.690 --> 00:23:06.809 So I was kind of living anywhere I could. So 00:23:06.809 --> 00:23:11.470 I wasn't collecting music. And a lot of things 00:23:11.470 --> 00:23:15.230 that came out this year, I may not have heard 00:23:15.230 --> 00:23:19.220 until later. Although I do remember friends of 00:23:19.220 --> 00:23:23.460 mine having this cassette when it came out. And 00:23:23.460 --> 00:23:27.420 I think that's the way I heard it the most. But 00:23:27.420 --> 00:23:31.140 it's got some good songs like Practice What You 00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:35.619 Preach. I think that the production got better, 00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:39.759 even though it's still not excellent. It was 00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:45.190 at least better than the last two. It wasn't 00:23:45.190 --> 00:23:47.670 a record that I got to sink into a whole lot, 00:23:47.789 --> 00:23:49.589 and I didn't have any money to go to shows and 00:23:49.589 --> 00:23:58.930 things like that. It's not as good to me as The 00:23:58.930 --> 00:24:02.829 New Order, and especially the original, The Legacy. 00:24:03.410 --> 00:24:06.710 But it was still a really good effort, and I'm 00:24:06.710 --> 00:24:09.269 sure it's got songs that they probably play to 00:24:09.269 --> 00:24:17.230 this day in concert, I'm sure. Yeah, when I talked 00:24:17.230 --> 00:24:19.150 to Chuck Billy, that was one of the things he 00:24:19.150 --> 00:24:21.890 mentioned was that how they hated the production 00:24:21.890 --> 00:24:25.450 of the first two albums. So I'm sure they went 00:24:25.450 --> 00:24:28.849 out of their way with this one. It was produced 00:24:28.849 --> 00:24:33.549 by Alex Perialis. This did come out on Megaforce 00:24:33.549 --> 00:24:37.680 Atlantic, 46 minutes, 6 seconds. Came out on 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.819 August 8th, 1989. Was recorded between February 00:24:41.819 --> 00:24:44.559 and March of 89 at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, 00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:50.900 California. And the singles off of this are Practice 00:24:50.900 --> 00:24:53.019 What You Preach, the title track, Greenhouse 00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:58.099 Effect, and The Ballad. So anyone else? The Ballad 00:24:58.099 --> 00:25:01.359 got overplayed. I think that kind of wore me 00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:04.619 out on this record because MTV was playing, I 00:25:04.619 --> 00:25:10.000 remember now. That ballad, yeah. Right. Yeah, 00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:12.119 it didn't need that. They were going up against 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:14.700 Metallica, and that wasn't... Okay, Metallica 00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:16.720 then later on did a ballad, but it wasn't needed. 00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:24.819 No. Right. Yeah, no, I agree. I mean, the title 00:25:24.819 --> 00:25:26.799 track to me is my favorite song off of this. 00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:30.579 It's hard, too, to handle Chuck Billy's voice 00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:34.470 in a ballad. I think his vocals are perfect for 00:25:34.470 --> 00:25:36.609 thrash metal, but when I hear him in that ballad, 00:25:36.670 --> 00:25:40.910 it just gets old really fast. I mean, it depends 00:25:40.910 --> 00:25:43.650 because I think Return to Serenity, which is 00:25:43.650 --> 00:25:46.670 also a ballad, I think he's able to pull it off 00:25:46.670 --> 00:25:50.089 more there because I think that's maybe a little 00:25:50.089 --> 00:25:53.349 bit more akin to like a fade to black. Yeah, 00:25:53.369 --> 00:25:55.730 it might depend on the style of this tune. That's 00:25:55.730 --> 00:25:58.369 right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good point. 00:26:01.869 --> 00:26:04.069 All right, so at number nine, Testament, with 00:26:04.069 --> 00:26:11.569 practice what you preach. Let's jump on to the 00:26:11.569 --> 00:26:21.930 next one here. Number eight. I got it. Anybody 00:26:21.930 --> 00:26:23.789 else? Let's hear it then. That's great white. 00:26:24.470 --> 00:26:32.720 Yep, Mr. Bone. I got to hear them play that the 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:39.259 other day, Sunday. I knew that with this album 00:26:39.259 --> 00:26:43.160 that I needed to make it very short because Dan 00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:48.539 was going to get this if I went anything more 00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:52.819 than like a second or two. So yes, this is Great 00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:58.079 White, Twice Shy, April 12th, 1989. recorded 00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:02.339 at total access in redondo beach california 49 00:27:02.339 --> 00:27:06.140 minutes 24 seconds came out on capital produced 00:27:06.140 --> 00:27:10.259 by alan niven and michael lardy and these singles 00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:15.019 were once bitten twice shy with slow ride being 00:27:15.019 --> 00:27:17.660 the b -side the angel song with runaway being 00:27:17.660 --> 00:27:21.259 the b and house of broken love with bitches and 00:27:21.259 --> 00:27:28.809 other women as the uh b -side to that Dan, go 00:27:28.809 --> 00:27:31.349 ahead. Yeah, that's one of the good days of when 00:27:31.349 --> 00:27:34.150 you had to chase singles that would come out 00:27:34.150 --> 00:27:36.990 and they'd have unique B -sides and songs that 00:27:36.990 --> 00:27:39.730 I think they just came up with in the studio. 00:27:40.369 --> 00:27:43.769 And those were good times. Simply Bands did that 00:27:43.769 --> 00:27:46.410 back then. So a lot of cool, different, unique 00:27:46.410 --> 00:27:49.930 songs. Absolutely huge album at the time. Great 00:27:49.930 --> 00:27:52.849 White went out with Tesla and Kix on that tour. 00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:57.779 So you can go wrong. Irvine Meadows packed highlight 00:27:57.779 --> 00:28:01.140 of the of the summer. It was it was great. They 00:28:01.140 --> 00:28:03.599 were they were hitting it all. They weren't as 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.180 bluesy yet, I don't think. It was a great time. 00:28:12.140 --> 00:28:17.819 Brad, anything to add on to that? Yeah, there's 00:28:17.819 --> 00:28:20.500 I got to say, like I said, I saw them Sunday. 00:28:21.019 --> 00:28:26.180 They played Mr. Bone. And I think they're sounding 00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:28.160 better now than they have in the last probably 00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:33.559 15 years. So good for them. And yeah, this is 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.359 a good album. I think this is the, you know, 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.640 1989, I got my first CD player. And I think this 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:50.900 is the second CD I got. Okay. Cool. All right, 00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:55.710 let's... Move on here. So far, we've gone from 00:28:55.710 --> 00:28:57.910 Black Sabbath to Testament to Great White, like 00:28:57.910 --> 00:29:01.170 I mentioned at the top of the show. This is going 00:29:01.170 --> 00:29:05.609 to vary quite a bit from band to band as we move 00:29:05.609 --> 00:29:17.750 up the list here. Number seven. Faith no more. 00:29:20.190 --> 00:29:29.039 Johan got it. All right. So released on June 00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:36.519 20th, 1989. Recorded between December 88 and 00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:40.900 January 89 at Studio D in Sausalito, California. 00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:48.200 The CD and cassette version were 54 -58 long, 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:54.009 while the LP was 43 -22. came out on Slash Reprise 00:29:54.009 --> 00:29:59.549 Albums, or Records, and the producer was Mike 00:29:59.549 --> 00:30:04.130 Wallace and Faith No More. Singles were From 00:30:04.130 --> 00:30:08.569 Out of Nowhere, Epic, Falling to Pieces, which 00:30:08.569 --> 00:30:14.390 is that intro there, Surprise You're Dead, and 00:30:14.390 --> 00:30:18.650 Edge of the World. Johan, what do you have to 00:30:18.650 --> 00:30:21.509 say about this album? First, I have to say that 00:30:21.509 --> 00:30:28.089 the first time I heard it was probably 1990 or 00:30:28.089 --> 00:30:33.609 1991, because I'm in Europe. So it was kind of 00:30:33.609 --> 00:30:39.750 like that. Great album. Also very fresh. It felt 00:30:39.750 --> 00:30:43.329 new. And I did see them at Roskilde Festival 00:30:43.329 --> 00:30:50.279 in 1992 on this tour. Amazing. this album and 00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:54.880 the next one is masterpieces both of them I think 00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:57.680 I don't know what you think but I think that's 00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:04.819 two very different and I don't know if it was 00:31:04.819 --> 00:31:09.799 groundbreaking or not but it was to me it was 00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:16.259 kind of melodic and a little bit rap and heavy 00:31:16.259 --> 00:31:26.480 and And what do you say? The band had an image 00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:36.980 that were fun and new, very new. Yep. That's 00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:43.099 it for me. So I say the reason this album became 00:31:43.099 --> 00:31:46.430 as popular as it is. It's because of the Metallica 00:31:46.430 --> 00:31:50.349 effect. And what happens when you open for a 00:31:50.349 --> 00:31:55.150 major big tour and the major headliner, Metallica, 00:31:55.150 --> 00:31:59.009 fully embraces the band and tells everybody the 00:31:59.009 --> 00:32:01.529 time to listen to the album, give it a chance. 00:32:01.950 --> 00:32:05.470 And so they went out on tour with Metallica and 00:32:05.470 --> 00:32:10.789 they went over great. And that's the reason why 00:32:10.789 --> 00:32:12.210 we all listened to this album and then we all 00:32:12.210 --> 00:32:13.849 said, yeah, you're right. This is really cool. 00:32:14.269 --> 00:32:17.329 I think without that happening, I don't know 00:32:17.329 --> 00:32:19.309 if it gets as popular as it does. I don't know 00:32:19.309 --> 00:32:21.490 if I ever listened to it. I might have never 00:32:21.490 --> 00:32:26.089 given it a chance. Some friends were kind of 00:32:26.089 --> 00:32:31.170 talking about it, but it was different. So that's 00:32:31.170 --> 00:32:33.490 why Faith No More, I think, exploded like they 00:32:33.490 --> 00:32:39.569 did with that album. Yeah. Because the first 00:32:39.569 --> 00:32:41.710 single, From Out of Nowhere, it's saying here 00:32:41.710 --> 00:32:46.309 that it came out in the UK on October 30th, 89. 00:32:48.029 --> 00:32:53.589 And then Epic came out in January of 90. They 00:32:53.589 --> 00:32:56.609 re -released that because I remember hearing 00:32:56.609 --> 00:32:59.650 From Out of Nowhere. Could have been a college 00:32:59.650 --> 00:33:02.369 radio or may have been like once or twice on 00:33:02.369 --> 00:33:07.970 MTV. And that song got like no play at all. it 00:33:07.970 --> 00:33:11.069 wasn't until Epic came out that it started getting 00:33:11.069 --> 00:33:16.309 massive play on the radio. And I mean, Epic and, 00:33:16.329 --> 00:33:20.710 and falling to pieces were huge on, on us radio. 00:33:22.809 --> 00:33:28.390 So, I mean, for a lot of people, it changed the 00:33:28.390 --> 00:33:30.690 landscape of things. So to answer what you said, 00:33:30.769 --> 00:33:33.309 Johan, I mean, it introduced Mike Patton to so 00:33:33.309 --> 00:33:37.019 many people became a huge influence. to a lot 00:33:37.019 --> 00:33:43.819 of people. I always felt that they kind of did 00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:47.200 a lot of things of what Anthrax was doing with 00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:49.920 imagery at one point in time with the shorts 00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:52.839 and the colors and stuff like that. But they 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:54.839 did, I mean, their music was completely different 00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:57.559 because they were mixing aspects of, as you said, 00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:05.220 rap and melodies and funk and full -on metal 00:34:05.220 --> 00:34:09.719 as well. I mean, going back to the track from 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:12.260 Out of Nowhere, the melodies in that, I mean, 00:34:12.260 --> 00:34:16.860 just listen to that. And when you get to the 00:34:16.860 --> 00:34:19.099 crescendo in that song towards the end where 00:34:19.099 --> 00:34:21.780 he starts saying, one minute here, one minute 00:34:21.780 --> 00:34:25.780 there, don't know if I'll ever die or whatever 00:34:25.780 --> 00:34:29.519 the exact lyric is, or cry or die, I forget. 00:34:29.579 --> 00:34:34.000 Anyway, but that melody gets stuck in your head. 00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:39.239 heard that song covered by, I don't know how 00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:41.179 many different bands, Halloween covered that, 00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:47.300 for example, that track. So it goes to show that 00:34:47.300 --> 00:34:51.139 they influenced newer bands and older bands that 00:34:51.139 --> 00:34:54.239 were around. I mean, they were, I mentioned King's 00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:57.099 X before. I think they were kind of like King's 00:34:57.099 --> 00:35:00.579 X in the sense that once people got to know who 00:35:00.579 --> 00:35:03.980 they were, they were kind of a musician's band. 00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:08.159 You know, a lot of bands started talking about 00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:12.460 them. So definitely laid the groundwork for a 00:35:12.460 --> 00:35:17.920 lot of what came out after that. So anyone else 00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:25.059 faith no more before we move on? All right. Let's 00:35:25.059 --> 00:35:28.260 see. You guys have been able to guess all of 00:35:28.260 --> 00:35:37.639 them so far. Number six. Yeah, I got it. Yeah, 00:35:37.659 --> 00:35:43.199 yeah, yeah. I think it's Bangtango. I could be 00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:50.320 wrong. Wait, wait, wait. No way. That's what 00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:56.019 Guns N' Roses? That's wrong. Okay. Johan said 00:35:56.019 --> 00:36:02.619 Guns N' Roses. Can I hear it again? That's what 00:36:02.619 --> 00:36:05.739 it sounded like, but that's two years late. Number 00:36:05.739 --> 00:36:16.780 six. Wow. I don't have it. I don't want to have 00:36:16.780 --> 00:36:23.300 silence. No. Johan was not that far from it, 00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:30.360 though. LA Guns. It's LA Guns. Jeremy said it. 00:36:30.699 --> 00:36:37.719 Guns. LA Guns, cocked and loaded. So the album 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:44.659 was released. Let's see if this loads for me. 00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:48.079 All right. Released in August, August 22nd of 00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:52.019 1989. Recorded from April to June of 89 at one 00:36:52.019 --> 00:36:55.400 -on -one in North Hollywood, California and Music 00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:59.380 Grinder, Hollywood, California and Conway, Hollywood, 00:36:59.500 --> 00:37:05.679 California. 54 minutes, 24 seconds. Released 00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:08.599 on Vertigo. Was released on Mercury in the U 00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:11.699 .S., if I'm not mistaken. Producers are Dwayne 00:37:11.699 --> 00:37:21.239 Barron, John Perdell, and Tom Worman. The singles 00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:24.920 off of this are Rip and Tear, Never Enough, and 00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:29.079 The Ballad of Jane. This is their biggest charting 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:36.349 success. I will still remember that I gave Melanie 00:37:36.349 --> 00:37:41.349 Strecco a 90 -minute cassette, a Maxell 90 -minute 00:37:41.349 --> 00:37:44.809 cassette. And on one side, she recorded the first 00:37:44.809 --> 00:37:47.050 LA Guns album for me. And on the second side, 00:37:47.150 --> 00:37:50.030 she recorded this album for me. This is a lot 00:37:50.030 --> 00:37:54.969 more polished than the first one. And the big 00:37:54.969 --> 00:38:00.070 hit off of this is Ballad of Jane. I remember 00:38:00.070 --> 00:38:02.750 going back into this before revisiting a lot 00:38:02.750 --> 00:38:06.530 of these albums and thinking, yeah, I'm not going 00:38:06.530 --> 00:38:09.989 to pick an album with one of these wonky ballads 00:38:09.989 --> 00:38:13.750 that I don't care for. And going back and listening 00:38:13.750 --> 00:38:17.110 to it and thinking, fuck, I really like this 00:38:17.110 --> 00:38:19.789 song. I really like this other song. I really 00:38:19.789 --> 00:38:25.110 like this other song. Thinking about how. You 00:38:25.110 --> 00:38:27.630 know, Tracy Gunn's playing on this. It's so heavily 00:38:27.630 --> 00:38:31.389 influenced by Randy Rhoads playing and thinking 00:38:31.389 --> 00:38:34.610 about, OK, taking away that one ballad that I 00:38:34.610 --> 00:38:37.610 don't really care for. This isn't a bad album 00:38:37.610 --> 00:38:42.710 after all. So it is our number six. Anyone else 00:38:42.710 --> 00:38:47.670 want to mention something about it? They. Jeremy. 00:38:48.889 --> 00:38:52.800 Jeremy. No, not really. I'm not a massive fan 00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:55.179 of it, to be honest. So I'll leave you guys to 00:38:55.179 --> 00:38:58.219 speak about it. They worked and worked. They 00:38:58.219 --> 00:39:01.579 did supports for Maiden. They supported everybody. 00:39:01.619 --> 00:39:04.860 They went out. And then Ballad of Jane comes 00:39:04.860 --> 00:39:08.079 along and it's a hit. This is the time of when 00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:10.780 ballads do a lot. Probably White Testament maybe 00:39:10.780 --> 00:39:13.719 did what they did. And it launched them into 00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:17.340 headlining. So they headlined the local Irvine 00:39:17.340 --> 00:39:21.550 Meadows. And here they were, 15 ,000 seats. They 00:39:21.550 --> 00:39:24.110 finally got all the way up there, and I think 00:39:24.110 --> 00:39:26.570 they went back down after that. But, you know. 00:39:26.909 --> 00:39:30.909 Yes, they did. Yeah, you know, great album. And 00:39:30.909 --> 00:39:33.789 I think the infighting did not help, because 00:39:33.789 --> 00:39:36.710 after this, I think fame got to them maybe. I 00:39:36.710 --> 00:39:39.769 wasn't there, but it seems like Tracy and all 00:39:39.769 --> 00:39:42.789 of them, then they started having problems. Yeah. 00:39:42.809 --> 00:39:47.170 Probably money, credits. When did Tracy leave 00:39:47.170 --> 00:39:51.840 the band? uh, way later because it was Hollywood 00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:55.119 vampires after this. And then the whole band 00:39:55.119 --> 00:40:00.460 broke apart. And then after that, they put out, 00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:06.519 um, damn it. I, I forget the name of the, the, 00:40:06.539 --> 00:40:09.760 the fourth album. Uh, but that album was like 00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:11.920 pieced together. Some of the, some of the tracks 00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:17.139 have a drum machine on it. Some of it has, You 00:40:17.139 --> 00:40:22.519 know, then after that, actually, Phil Lewis left. 00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:27.559 Yeah. Then they kind of got back together again, 00:40:27.619 --> 00:40:30.519 and then Tracy left. And, you know, it was a 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:38.239 whole big thing. And it's funny because the two 00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:41.300 British fellows that you turned me on to, Brad, 00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:47.789 their podcast. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Mojo and Hunzee. 00:40:47.889 --> 00:40:51.690 Yeah. I had to stop listening to that show because 00:40:51.690 --> 00:40:54.869 some of their opinions are just like way out 00:40:54.869 --> 00:40:57.789 there. They hate a lot of American hard rock 00:40:57.789 --> 00:41:00.409 and metal, but they were saying that Hollywood 00:41:00.409 --> 00:41:03.050 Vampires is by far their best album. And I'm 00:41:03.050 --> 00:41:07.570 like... Everybody's got opinions. You know what's 00:41:07.570 --> 00:41:10.829 funny is their show this week, they both accidentally 00:41:10.829 --> 00:41:13.349 picked the same album and it's that Faith No 00:41:13.349 --> 00:41:15.199 More album that we talked about. Is it? What 00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:18.539 are the odds? Yeah. Well, they, they also, the, 00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:21.219 the, the, my, my tipping point was them, uh, 00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:24.440 was them crapping all over Metallica's injustice 00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:27.159 for all. So I was like, all right, I'm done. 00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:31.900 They called it boredom for all or something like 00:41:31.900 --> 00:41:34.900 that. So I'm like, all right, I'm done. Goodbye. 00:41:36.900 --> 00:41:42.000 I have a quick question for Johan. Johan, LA 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:44.059 Guns, did they make any noise over there in Sweden? 00:41:45.300 --> 00:41:51.940 No. Not really. Sorry. Doesn't sound like they 00:41:51.940 --> 00:41:57.019 made much noise in Manchester. No. I mean, I 00:41:57.019 --> 00:41:59.420 think that they're here, again, based on the 00:41:59.420 --> 00:42:02.320 popularity of what, you know, a lot of the American 00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:09.909 voters voted for. Yeah. All right. Cool. Let's 00:42:09.909 --> 00:42:18.610 move on to the next one. Number five. I know 00:42:18.610 --> 00:42:22.670 that was super long, Dan. You don't know what 00:42:22.670 --> 00:42:24.329 it is? I do know what it is, and I can't get 00:42:24.329 --> 00:42:32.190 it. Oh, okay, good. Is that Tesla? I think it's 00:42:32.190 --> 00:42:41.079 Tesla. Tesla. Final answer. Yeah. It is the great 00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:44.099 radio controversy. That is the, the intro to 00:42:44.099 --> 00:42:47.760 a lady luck. I was going to do a hang tough because 00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:50.880 the bass intro is so similar to a lot of other 00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:54.460 songs. Uh, but then I said, Oh wait, there's 00:42:54.460 --> 00:42:58.039 this one real quick backwards guitar thing at 00:42:58.039 --> 00:42:59.760 the beginning of this other song. So let's do 00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:02.400 that. But anyway, this was released February 00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:07.900 1st, 1989, uh, was recorded in 88. Recorded at 00:43:07.900 --> 00:43:11.940 Bearsville in Woodstock, New York, where Rush 00:43:11.940 --> 00:43:14.239 recorded some albums as well and a bunch of other 00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:18.619 people. The length is 59 minutes and 18 seconds. 00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:23.039 Came out on Geffen. Produced by Steve Thompson 00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:28.599 and Michael Barbiero. Singles are Heaven's Trail, 00:43:28.780 --> 00:43:34.420 No Way Out, Hang Tough, Love Song, and The Way 00:43:34.420 --> 00:43:41.059 It Is. Biggest song off of this is Love Song. 00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:46.199 It is the one song that I have always skipped 00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:50.280 on this album because once again, a sappy ballad, 00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:53.420 which is just plugged in the middle of a really 00:43:53.420 --> 00:43:59.239 good rock album. I played the ever living shit 00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:03.440 out of this album back in the day to the point 00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:06.199 where I. Had to stop listening to Tesla because 00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:09.719 I listened to it too much. But going back and 00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:12.739 listening to it, I like the majority of this 00:44:12.739 --> 00:44:15.199 album. I mean, out of 13 tracks, I would say 00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:20.079 there's probably 11 songs that I really, really 00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:26.219 like off of this. I mean, even on Wikipedia, 00:44:26.739 --> 00:44:31.260 they're roped into glam metal, which I don't 00:44:31.260 --> 00:44:34.130 think they were a glam band at all. The look 00:44:34.130 --> 00:44:37.610 wasn't there. And the playing was definitely 00:44:37.610 --> 00:44:41.769 heavier than a lot of, like we're going to the 00:44:41.769 --> 00:44:44.349 LA Guns, for example. We went from LA Guns to 00:44:44.349 --> 00:44:47.809 this. This is a lot heavier than that LA Guns 00:44:47.809 --> 00:44:53.730 album. They're more of a 70s hard rock band than 00:44:53.730 --> 00:44:58.030 they are a Sunset Strip band. They're more 70s 00:44:58.030 --> 00:45:03.280 YNT, in my opinion, than they are. poison for 00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:09.440 example so um great radio controversy who wants 00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:12.260 to talk about this one yeah it's a really good 00:45:12.260 --> 00:45:14.860 album i like it i like early tesla i think it's 00:45:14.860 --> 00:45:17.000 really good i'm actually quite surprised looking 00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:18.980 through the track listing they don't play a lot 00:45:18.980 --> 00:45:21.659 more of those songs live or they don't seem to 00:45:21.659 --> 00:45:25.019 um because you like you say picture you know 00:45:25.019 --> 00:45:27.340 you could probably pick six seven eight of those 00:45:27.340 --> 00:45:31.010 songs and They'd all be good live tracks. But, 00:45:31.070 --> 00:45:33.690 yeah, I really like early Tesla. Really good 00:45:33.690 --> 00:45:40.289 band. I like this album. It's really good. Yeah, 00:45:40.369 --> 00:45:42.449 as dumb as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is 00:45:42.449 --> 00:45:46.010 here in America, Tesla should deserve it for 00:45:46.010 --> 00:45:48.329 their catalog. As you say, there's so many great 00:45:48.329 --> 00:45:50.570 songs off this album, and they have a catalog, 00:45:50.610 --> 00:45:52.349 so they can't play them all off this one. But 00:45:52.349 --> 00:45:56.610 we all played this album over and over back when 00:45:56.610 --> 00:45:58.969 this came out. They went on tour, like I said, 00:45:59.010 --> 00:46:07.769 with Great White and Kix and huge. Johan, Tesla 00:46:07.769 --> 00:46:12.829 make any noise in Sweden? No, again, sorry. Actually, 00:46:12.829 --> 00:46:16.170 no, I don't think they ever play Sweden Rock. 00:46:18.030 --> 00:46:21.650 They play, every band played there, but no, Tesla. 00:46:22.610 --> 00:46:29.199 I remember them from MTV. The US version, but 00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:37.440 I don't, not for me. Okay. I think this is a 00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:39.420 great album. I think it may be, you know, looking 00:46:39.420 --> 00:46:42.119 back as I listened to it with the other albums, 00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:46.199 it's a little slickly produced. I think those 00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:48.280 songs could benefit from a little bit harder, 00:46:48.380 --> 00:46:53.260 harder edge on the sound, but they're great songs. 00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:57.219 And other than like Victor said, love song. I'd 00:46:57.219 --> 00:47:02.380 be okay if I never heard that song again. Ever. 00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:07.400 Was the song that I was asked to play when auditioning 00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:10.960 for a cover band? Oh, no. And I said, are you 00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:15.239 fucking kidding me? I hate this song. I said, 00:47:15.260 --> 00:47:18.440 okay, I'll do it. Yeah, there you go. You're 00:47:18.440 --> 00:47:24.940 a pro. I played it, but no. Seriously, we can't 00:47:24.940 --> 00:47:27.099 pick anything else. Well, we could do this or 00:47:27.099 --> 00:47:31.619 Signs. I'm like, ah, do I want – That's equally 00:47:31.619 --> 00:47:35.019 as bad. Do I want to put a 45 to my head or a 00:47:35.019 --> 00:47:39.099 38? That's what you're asking me. The thing is 00:47:39.099 --> 00:47:40.920 today, you just mentioned cover songs, is they 00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:43.639 have albums of cover songs, and I think they 00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:47.059 do cover it pretty well. So they're staying active 00:47:47.059 --> 00:47:53.030 by doing that. My biggest – issue with their 00:47:53.030 --> 00:47:56.409 covers or if you're going to cover deep purple 00:47:56.409 --> 00:47:58.969 for example do we need another cover of space 00:47:58.969 --> 00:48:03.429 trucking seriously i mean is is is there anything 00:48:03.429 --> 00:48:08.130 else i mean you look at they also did if i'm 00:48:08.130 --> 00:48:10.710 not mistaken like a popular steve miller song 00:48:10.710 --> 00:48:14.449 and it's like nobody's gonna listen to this over 00:48:14.449 --> 00:48:20.449 the fucking original Or if you're going to do 00:48:20.449 --> 00:48:23.050 it, do something different with it. Just my opinion. 00:48:23.809 --> 00:48:29.550 Yeah. I'm surprised. I like their cover of Space. 00:48:29.730 --> 00:48:32.369 Maybe where you lived, Victor, they played Space 00:48:32.369 --> 00:48:35.170 Trucking all the time, but I never heard it all. 00:48:36.090 --> 00:48:41.849 On the radio? The Deep Purple song? The original? 00:48:42.550 --> 00:48:47.360 Yeah, the original. Every single day. new york 00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:52.360 metropolitan area you got you got space trucking 00:48:52.360 --> 00:49:00.559 you got um my woman of tokyo you got uh hush 00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:05.579 you got uh smoke on the water that of course 00:49:05.579 --> 00:49:08.719 is universal overplayed but no those songs didn't 00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:12.900 make it on the west coast as much No, he's right. 00:49:13.059 --> 00:49:15.500 You know, and Dan, you'd like this. We used to 00:49:15.500 --> 00:49:18.579 sing My Woman from Tokyo. We used to sing My 00:49:18.579 --> 00:49:23.559 Woman from Ontario. Ontario, California, not 00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:27.840 Canada. Yeah, Ontario. No, not Canada. Yeah. 00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:32.639 Yeah. Yeah. Inland Empire. That's awesome. Cool. 00:49:32.900 --> 00:49:39.440 Good for you. Good on you. Yeah, but again, since 00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:42.900 this was a song we didn't hear very much, I was 00:49:42.900 --> 00:49:45.559 okay with him covering it. Yeah, Deep Purple 00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:47.699 just didn't rule the airwaves. What if Johan 00:49:47.699 --> 00:49:54.480 said it? Sorry? I bet Johan has heard a little 00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:57.480 Deep Purple in Sweden. Yeah, you ever hear Deep 00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:07.300 Purple in Sweden? Nope. Yeah. Sure did. All right. 00:50:08.900 --> 00:50:12.699 Number four, and I almost gave this away before 00:50:12.699 --> 00:50:25.420 the show. Number four. I got it. That's Wasp. 00:50:25.659 --> 00:50:35.309 Yes! Oh, yeah. Fuck. This is a fun game. Oh, 00:50:35.309 --> 00:50:40.909 man, Johan. It is Wasp. Mean man. Headless children. 00:50:41.150 --> 00:50:43.469 We went from headless cross to headless children. 00:50:43.610 --> 00:50:50.230 Look at how we've advanced. So anyway, this album 00:50:50.230 --> 00:50:54.190 came out in April of 89. Clock's in at 48 minutes 00:50:54.190 --> 00:50:57.750 and 32 seconds on Capitol Records. Produced by 00:50:57.750 --> 00:51:02.590 Blackie Lawless. Singles are Mean Man. The Real 00:51:02.590 --> 00:51:06.829 Me, which is almost what I said when we started 00:51:06.829 --> 00:51:12.949 the show. And then Forever Free. All right. Who 00:51:12.949 --> 00:51:21.809 wants to talk about Headless Children? Yeah, 00:51:21.829 --> 00:51:23.469 they put out a lot of singles. Same thing. I 00:51:23.469 --> 00:51:29.170 have some of their hard -to -find B -sides. They 00:51:29.170 --> 00:51:33.469 were massive at the time on this album. And they're 00:51:33.469 --> 00:51:37.750 playing the UK this year. Yeah. Europe. Yeah, 00:51:37.829 --> 00:51:39.929 yeah, with. And Armored Saints, I think, joining 00:51:39.929 --> 00:51:43.710 them for a couple. That's right, yeah. And Jeremy 00:51:43.710 --> 00:51:48.869 should go. Yeah, I might try and go. I actually 00:51:48.869 --> 00:51:51.210 listened to this album today and I really enjoyed 00:51:51.210 --> 00:51:53.829 it. I don't think I've listened to this one as 00:51:53.829 --> 00:51:55.809 much as some of the others because the other 00:51:55.809 --> 00:51:58.269 ones have got more of their hit singles on, the 00:51:58.269 --> 00:52:02.150 ones that really made it. I enjoyed it. I thought 00:52:02.150 --> 00:52:04.889 it was good. I think once you turn up Wasp nice 00:52:04.889 --> 00:52:07.050 and loud, they're a good band. They really get 00:52:07.050 --> 00:52:13.349 you. I thought it was good. Yeah, in Sweden, 00:52:13.489 --> 00:52:17.889 the Wasp are still... Not huge, but they go here 00:52:17.889 --> 00:52:21.610 every second year. They play small towns and 00:52:21.610 --> 00:52:27.909 they sell out. They played here in 98, perhaps, 00:52:28.010 --> 00:52:30.610 and I got the honor to hang out with the whole 00:52:30.610 --> 00:52:37.829 band for a whole day. Wasp are... They have... 00:52:37.829 --> 00:52:41.329 In Sweden, Wasp are very famous because they 00:52:41.329 --> 00:52:45.369 were on a... big big television show in 1984 00:52:45.369 --> 00:52:49.090 when they released their debut album and they 00:52:49.090 --> 00:52:53.969 toured here and the shocking of the stage performance 00:52:53.969 --> 00:52:59.969 were so spectacular so the Swedish state TV made 00:52:59.969 --> 00:53:03.750 a big thing about it so they have to thank the 00:53:03.750 --> 00:53:06.369 Swedish TV for being so big here in Sweden and 00:53:06.369 --> 00:53:11.400 they still are so they can go here and Play solo 00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:15.440 shows, even though it's clubs, but it's good 00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:19.760 for them. Even though it's a lot of backing tracks 00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:29.800 nowadays. Yes. Thank you. Brad, anything on this? 00:53:29.840 --> 00:53:34.190 No, I got nothing here. Sorry. Okay. Backing 00:53:34.190 --> 00:53:37.269 tracks be damned. They sound good live probably 00:53:37.269 --> 00:53:40.429 because they have it. If they need it, it's near 00:53:40.429 --> 00:53:46.250 the end probably. So why not go and do it? I've 00:53:46.250 --> 00:53:49.530 seen him twice now recently. So this is good, 00:53:49.570 --> 00:53:52.449 I guess, at Blackies. I mean he has a reputation 00:53:52.449 --> 00:53:57.030 of being difficult and a jerk for some people. 00:53:57.289 --> 00:54:02.719 But whatever. He's a legend. He's pissed off 00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:06.519 some people, but, yeah, he made his own path. 00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:09.760 Chris Holmes doesn't like him, you know, whatever. 00:54:11.519 --> 00:54:16.480 Money. I think that Blackie was kind of a gentleman. 00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:27.199 Chris Holmes was crazy. He still is. That man. 00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:32.199 I remember him very well. It was very hard to 00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:37.159 be a sober person around him and to try to, no, 00:54:37.260 --> 00:54:39.940 don't go there, don't go there, don't go there, 00:54:39.960 --> 00:54:44.440 don't do that. Big guy. He was a two -year -old. 00:54:47.099 --> 00:54:50.820 Yeah, he was like 6 '7", I think. That was a 00:54:50.820 --> 00:54:55.929 good and very fun Saturday. I, it's gotta be 00:54:55.929 --> 00:54:58.349 difficult to be in a band with people. And if 00:54:58.349 --> 00:55:00.829 the other guy's crazy, how do you deal with that 00:55:00.829 --> 00:55:03.769 day in day out? And then back in those days was 00:55:03.769 --> 00:55:06.309 on a bus, you know, you didn't fly in and fly 00:55:06.309 --> 00:55:10.329 out. You were stuck with each other. Yeah. So 00:55:10.329 --> 00:55:13.070 bad shit's going to happen. Bad vibes are going 00:55:13.070 --> 00:55:18.210 to happen, I guess. Yeah. If, if you guys listened 00:55:18.210 --> 00:55:22.710 to a recent episode of a decibel geek where they're, 00:55:22.710 --> 00:55:26.280 um, talking about the Rockin' Pot Expo. Courtney 00:55:26.280 --> 00:55:29.219 Cronin is talking about, I think, the Monsters 00:55:29.219 --> 00:55:32.139 of Rock Cruise, where Chris Holmes was on it. 00:55:32.619 --> 00:55:37.159 And she tells a pretty interesting story about 00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:41.739 him. I'll have to check that out. Actually, I 00:55:41.739 --> 00:55:44.219 thought it was fairly humorous. It was hilarious. 00:55:45.579 --> 00:55:50.000 Thanks for that tip. I'll check it out. There 00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:54.719 you go. i have a chris holmes i mean i was that 00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:58.239 day i was working as a chef and as a you know 00:55:58.239 --> 00:56:03.679 i tried to take care of them uh that stains here 00:56:03.679 --> 00:56:08.699 in sweden and chris holmes put on a robber's 00:56:08.699 --> 00:56:13.559 mask and he ran out on the parking lot and chased 00:56:13.559 --> 00:56:20.369 normal citizens here in my of Sweden just for 00:56:20.369 --> 00:56:24.369 fun. And that's the truth. And that's a very 00:56:24.369 --> 00:56:31.650 special thing to do for a grown -up man. Now, 00:56:31.650 --> 00:56:35.630 do you think he would remember that he did that 00:56:35.630 --> 00:56:41.369 today? No. No? No, because, you know, here in 00:56:41.369 --> 00:56:44.989 Sweden we have a quite, we had a strict policy 00:56:44.989 --> 00:56:50.900 against marijuana. And the band Wasp didn't have 00:56:50.900 --> 00:56:57.619 that same policy. So it was in the 90s here. 00:56:58.280 --> 00:57:03.000 It was, as I said, a strange day and a very fun 00:57:03.000 --> 00:57:07.219 day. Nothing bad happened, but that memory lives 00:57:07.219 --> 00:57:12.039 on forever. Great story. Great story, Johan. 00:57:14.119 --> 00:57:19.809 Ed, any Wasp stories? No, I love their first 00:57:19.809 --> 00:57:22.329 two records to this day, still love to listen 00:57:22.329 --> 00:57:26.469 to them. But by this time, I wasn't paying attention. 00:57:27.070 --> 00:57:29.610 And, you know, in the last few years with iTunes, 00:57:29.769 --> 00:57:31.769 now that I can go back and listen to everything 00:57:31.769 --> 00:57:37.170 easily, I put their entire catalog in my library. 00:57:37.789 --> 00:57:43.449 And I just not really heard anything that. interests 00:57:43.449 --> 00:57:46.329 me that much and it's kind of depressing because 00:57:46.329 --> 00:57:49.989 i want to like it but i don't know i guess it's 00:57:49.989 --> 00:57:53.329 just over the years i just you know like my more 00:57:53.329 --> 00:57:56.949 extreme metal a bit too much sometimes and if 00:57:56.949 --> 00:57:59.250 when it comes to listening to stuff more in that 00:57:59.250 --> 00:58:04.010 vein that heavy metal vein it's uh you know stuff 00:58:04.010 --> 00:58:07.750 that kind of connects with my earlier memories 00:58:07.750 --> 00:58:12.889 i guess but i don't know it's just I love the 00:58:12.889 --> 00:58:16.329 band, and I want to like it more than I do, but 00:58:16.329 --> 00:58:19.210 it's just kind of a casual listen to me besides 00:58:19.210 --> 00:58:26.190 their first two records. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Let's 00:58:26.190 --> 00:58:36.570 move on here to number three. Number three. Modern 00:58:36.570 --> 00:58:49.639 Rebirth. Monster Crew. It's – oh. Whoa. Johan 00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:55.480 got it. Number three. I think this to me was 00:58:55.480 --> 00:59:02.980 a surprise. At number three, it is Dr. Feelgood, 00:59:03.119 --> 00:59:08.360 released August 28, 1989, recorded between 88 00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:13.000 and 89 at Little Mountain. Sound Studios in Vancouver. 00:59:14.380 --> 00:59:21.679 Length is 45 minutes, 7 seconds on Elektra. Was 00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:26.699 produced by Bob Rock. Singles are Dr. Feelgood, 00:59:26.860 --> 00:59:30.139 Kickstart My Heart, Without You, Don't Go Away 00:59:30.139 --> 00:59:36.280 Mad, Just Go Away, and Same Old Situation. Who 00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:39.190 wants to talk about this? Yeah, it's an absolutely 00:59:39.190 --> 00:59:41.570 brilliant album. I love it, Victor. I know that 00:59:41.570 --> 00:59:45.389 you're not so keen on it, but I think it's great. 00:59:45.469 --> 00:59:48.570 I play it quite a lot. It's probably one of my 00:59:48.570 --> 00:59:51.250 favourite Motley Crue albums. I think it's got 00:59:51.250 --> 00:59:54.429 my favourite Motley Crue song on the album, Kickstart 00:59:54.429 --> 00:59:58.489 My Heart. I love it. I love Dr. Feelgood, the 00:59:58.489 --> 01:00:02.289 title track. I just think it's a real good time. 01:00:03.609 --> 01:00:06.090 of songs, you know, by a band that doesn't give 01:00:06.090 --> 01:00:09.130 a shit and they just play it and they play it 01:00:09.130 --> 01:00:10.630 really well on this. I think it's really well 01:00:10.630 --> 01:00:15.949 produced. It's really, there's got a lot of commerciality 01:00:15.949 --> 01:00:18.230 on it, which I like as well. You know, it's got 01:00:18.230 --> 01:00:21.010 that sort of 80s commerciality, but I think it's 01:00:21.010 --> 01:00:24.250 really stood the test of time. It's a great album. 01:00:25.050 --> 01:00:31.289 Proper rock and roll album. Johan, how about 01:00:31.289 --> 01:00:39.539 you? Jeremy said it all so well. So great. So 01:00:39.539 --> 01:00:45.699 many good songs on it. I mean, everybody knows 01:00:45.699 --> 01:00:47.860 the story. They almost came back from the grave 01:00:47.860 --> 01:00:52.539 and did this excellent record. So what Jeremy 01:00:52.539 --> 01:00:57.039 said, it's a great album and it still is today, 01:00:57.199 --> 01:01:07.829 production -wise and song -wise. Brad? All I 01:01:07.829 --> 01:01:10.210 know is that I feel like there's not a day that 01:01:10.210 --> 01:01:13.309 goes by that I don't hear the beginning of Kickstart 01:01:13.309 --> 01:01:17.510 My Heart. It's like everywhere in sports. You 01:01:17.510 --> 01:01:23.489 can't avoid it. I've heard it enough. Yeah, I 01:01:23.489 --> 01:01:27.150 got nothing to say here. I'm glad Jeremy likes 01:01:27.150 --> 01:01:31.079 it. How about that? It's not metal. We need something 01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:36.019 that Ed can really get his teeth into here. He's 01:01:36.019 --> 01:01:38.360 gone now. He's coming back. It's offended by 01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:46.139 my crew. It's not in my top 10, but I know that 01:01:46.139 --> 01:01:48.500 I listened to it when it came out. I think it's 01:01:48.500 --> 01:01:52.159 a 50 -50 album on the songs. I like the earlier 01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:55.719 days. It was. better than some of the other stuff 01:01:55.719 --> 01:01:58.639 they have in their catalog. I can listen to some 01:01:58.639 --> 01:02:05.099 of it now. And I saw them on the tour. But yeah, 01:02:05.179 --> 01:02:16.780 I'm a fan of it. Cool. All right. Okay, so I 01:02:16.780 --> 01:02:24.820 like this album when it came out. My biggest 01:02:24.820 --> 01:02:28.119 peeve with this album is arguing with people 01:02:28.119 --> 01:02:33.139 as to this being their best album. Oh, wow. And 01:02:33.139 --> 01:02:37.239 the band saying this is their best album. And 01:02:37.239 --> 01:02:42.880 it's Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crue. There's, in 01:02:42.880 --> 01:02:48.239 my opinion, and this is just my opinion, there's 01:02:48.239 --> 01:02:50.920 no way that this is better than Too Fast for 01:02:50.920 --> 01:02:54.440 Love and Shout at the Devil. Or even Theater 01:02:54.440 --> 01:03:00.579 of Pain. The singles off of this outside of Kickstart 01:03:00.579 --> 01:03:05.300 My Heart, which I can listen to, I can't listen 01:03:05.300 --> 01:03:09.980 to any of the other songs. Wow. They're probably 01:03:09.980 --> 01:03:13.199 the band that I've seen most live in my lifetime. 01:03:13.780 --> 01:03:17.539 And hearing Don't Go Away Mad and Same Old Situation 01:03:17.539 --> 01:03:24.190 every fucking time. Drives me crazy. And hearing 01:03:24.190 --> 01:03:26.150 that on the radio, and that's the thing, U .S. 01:03:26.170 --> 01:03:29.130 radio, you hear all of those songs, at least 01:03:29.130 --> 01:03:32.769 New York metropolitan area, all of those songs 01:03:32.769 --> 01:03:36.150 got played every single day on the radio. Every 01:03:36.150 --> 01:03:40.889 day. Where I'm thinking to myself, are you serious? 01:03:40.949 --> 01:03:43.789 You're not playing anything off of any of the, 01:03:43.809 --> 01:03:47.530 well, no, excuse me. Add smoking in the boys' 01:03:47.610 --> 01:03:50.489 room to that list as to what they would play. 01:03:51.179 --> 01:03:57.860 On the radio. So I think that this is an album 01:03:57.860 --> 01:04:01.659 much. This is their Van Hagar album to me in 01:04:01.659 --> 01:04:05.159 the sense that I liked it when it came out. And 01:04:05.159 --> 01:04:09.159 as time went by, I lost interest in this album 01:04:09.159 --> 01:04:11.760 for them to say that it's their best album, I 01:04:11.760 --> 01:04:13.679 think, is a joke. Yes, it's their biggest selling 01:04:13.679 --> 01:04:16.400 album. Yes, I get it. I get it that this is the 01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:20.489 album that will heat their pools. for a few decades 01:04:20.489 --> 01:04:26.210 to come um but the deep tracks slice of your 01:04:26.210 --> 01:04:30.670 pie rattlesnake shake nikki sweet she goes down 01:04:30.670 --> 01:04:34.530 time for change to me none of those songs are 01:04:34.530 --> 01:04:38.309 strong i mean i get it the singles are these 01:04:38.309 --> 01:04:41.590 what's that even the titles sound cheesy just 01:04:41.590 --> 01:04:45.230 listen to you go through yeah and this is the 01:04:45.230 --> 01:04:50.300 album To me, Motley Crue became an imitation 01:04:50.300 --> 01:04:53.960 of themselves. This is where for the longest 01:04:53.960 --> 01:04:57.400 time they said, oh, no, don't compare us to all 01:04:57.400 --> 01:05:01.000 these L .A. strip bands, to all these glam bands. 01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:03.159 We were here before them. Oh, yeah, but we're 01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:05.059 going to put out an album just like them because 01:05:05.059 --> 01:05:11.860 that's what's selling right now. And I will say 01:05:11.860 --> 01:05:16.349 that everything that came out after this, In 01:05:16.349 --> 01:05:20.230 my opinion, it's probably better than this. And 01:05:20.230 --> 01:05:24.110 I know that's not a popular opinion. But there 01:05:24.110 --> 01:05:26.849 are songs on their subsequent albums that to 01:05:26.849 --> 01:05:33.309 me are better than this. Anyway. Rant over. But 01:05:33.309 --> 01:05:39.909 we don't have that same radio climate that you 01:05:39.909 --> 01:05:47.250 have in the US. Speaking only for me, but it 01:05:47.250 --> 01:05:53.269 was a bit more exclusive than it was perhaps 01:05:53.269 --> 01:05:58.250 for you in the New York, New Jersey area. You 01:05:58.250 --> 01:06:01.269 didn't hear those songs on the radio. Never. 01:06:02.710 --> 01:06:06.050 Every day. To this day, you hear them every day. 01:06:06.489 --> 01:06:19.039 Yeah. So a different thing. All right. So I think 01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:21.019 for a lot of people, at least for me, when I 01:06:21.019 --> 01:06:22.980 started tallying this, I thought that that was 01:06:22.980 --> 01:06:27.480 possibly going to be our number one. Just due 01:06:27.480 --> 01:06:31.880 to popularity. I will say that the top three 01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.360 albums got voted on a lot more than every other 01:06:35.360 --> 01:06:43.119 album. Two and three are only separated by two 01:06:43.119 --> 01:06:50.309 points. And one and two are separated by one 01:06:50.309 --> 01:06:57.670 point. Whoa. No way. Up until the last. You know, 01:06:57.690 --> 01:07:03.630 I really had a hard time ranking these albums 01:07:03.630 --> 01:07:06.769 for this year. You know, there wasn't a clear 01:07:06.769 --> 01:07:09.349 number one for me. And maybe that kind of shows 01:07:09.349 --> 01:07:12.349 in the voting as well. It wasn't like this one's 01:07:12.349 --> 01:07:15.710 definitely number one. I mean, all the past years 01:07:15.710 --> 01:07:18.010 in the 80s that we've done, I've had like really 01:07:18.010 --> 01:07:21.570 strong first four or five albums and then kind 01:07:21.570 --> 01:07:24.130 of, you know, had to figure it out for the rest 01:07:24.130 --> 01:07:29.909 of it. But this year, yeah, I had no clear thought 01:07:29.909 --> 01:07:32.630 on any of them. None of them really stood out. 01:07:33.130 --> 01:07:35.090 So I'm curious to hear number two and three, 01:07:35.190 --> 01:07:37.550 or two and one, excuse me, because that was three, 01:07:37.650 --> 01:07:39.829 right? Yeah, that was three. For me, I would 01:07:39.829 --> 01:07:43.050 say that there were some clear -cut favorites. 01:07:45.439 --> 01:07:50.420 But anyway, all right. So number two. Number 01:07:50.420 --> 01:08:01.539 two. I got it. I got it. I got it. You got it? 01:08:01.760 --> 01:08:09.340 Yeah, it's Skid Row. It is indeed Skid Row. I 01:08:09.340 --> 01:08:13.059 heard a bunch of those songs last week, too. 01:08:13.440 --> 01:08:17.680 Released January 24th, 1989. Recorded in 88. 01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:21.920 Recorded at Royal Recorders, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. 01:08:23.260 --> 01:08:26.020 Length of the album is 39 minutes, 28 seconds. 01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:30.319 Released on Atlantic. Produced by Michael Wagner. 01:08:30.659 --> 01:08:34.300 And singles are Youth Gone Wild, 18 and Life, 01:08:34.479 --> 01:08:37.840 and I Remember You. Johan, just so you know, 01:08:37.979 --> 01:08:44.000 all of these songs. are on US radio. And this 01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:46.859 is a band from my home state of New Jersey, outside 01:08:46.859 --> 01:08:50.520 of Sebastian Bach, who is from Ontario, Canada. 01:08:50.699 --> 01:08:55.439 And I did not get into Skid Row probably up until 01:08:55.439 --> 01:09:01.560 the last five or six years because they were 01:09:01.560 --> 01:09:05.899 on the radio, on every local radio station so 01:09:05.899 --> 01:09:10.359 much that I couldn't stand them. Because it was 01:09:10.359 --> 01:09:13.439 the same songs over and over and over again. 01:09:13.500 --> 01:09:15.479 And it was funny, when I finally listened to 01:09:15.479 --> 01:09:19.920 this album, I started realizing that Eddie Trunk 01:09:19.920 --> 01:09:22.539 had played every single one of the songs off 01:09:22.539 --> 01:09:26.180 of this album on his radio show at one point 01:09:26.180 --> 01:09:28.359 or another. So I had already heard the album. 01:09:29.880 --> 01:09:35.060 So anyway, Brad, you got to see Sebastian Bach 01:09:35.060 --> 01:09:40.109 at M3 last week. Is he still able to pull these 01:09:40.109 --> 01:09:46.069 songs off? Yeah, I've heard other reviews from 01:09:46.069 --> 01:09:50.850 people that just watch videos on YouTube and 01:09:50.850 --> 01:09:53.329 people are saying, oh, he didn't sound very good. 01:09:53.710 --> 01:09:56.750 And I've seen plenty of bad sounding videos of 01:09:56.750 --> 01:10:01.149 him, but I thought he did really well. He came 01:10:01.149 --> 01:10:02.670 across really well. It's kind of interesting 01:10:02.670 --> 01:10:06.060 for him being a headliner for that night. Because 01:10:06.060 --> 01:10:07.840 in years past when he's played the festival, 01:10:07.920 --> 01:10:10.840 he's been really early in the day. But people 01:10:10.840 --> 01:10:15.739 showed up for him. I mean, and people loved what 01:10:15.739 --> 01:10:17.840 he was doing. What was really cool is he played 01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:23.000 not just all Skid Row songs. He started off with 01:10:23.000 --> 01:10:24.920 a couple of songs off his new album, which was 01:10:24.920 --> 01:10:28.880 good. And he played one American Metalhead. He 01:10:28.880 --> 01:10:31.520 played that, which is I really like that album. 01:10:32.250 --> 01:10:35.289 So he sounded really good. Skid Row is kind of 01:10:35.289 --> 01:10:39.090 a band that I just never really just hit me with 01:10:39.090 --> 01:10:43.270 their music. But Friday night, the songs kind 01:10:43.270 --> 01:10:45.989 of resonated with me. I don't know. Maybe it's 01:10:45.989 --> 01:10:50.850 just he has a really good band. That helps. And 01:10:50.850 --> 01:10:54.510 he comes across very, very likable on stage, 01:10:54.770 --> 01:10:59.569 which is not what you would expect. Shelly liked 01:10:59.569 --> 01:11:01.970 him. Shelly, you know, normally she'd be like 01:11:01.970 --> 01:11:04.270 after three songs, let's get out of here. But 01:11:04.270 --> 01:11:08.310 she, we, we stayed till the end and, and yeah, 01:11:08.449 --> 01:11:10.689 so there you go. Somebody brand new being thrown 01:11:10.689 --> 01:11:12.890 into the mix. I mean, I'm sure she's heard some 01:11:12.890 --> 01:11:16.970 of those, the songs that you mentioned, but yeah, 01:11:17.130 --> 01:11:20.630 she, he was, he was good. Okay. I got, I got 01:11:20.630 --> 01:11:22.329 to say he was, he was good. So there you go. 01:11:22.649 --> 01:11:27.380 There you go. Skid row boys. Anyone else on Skid 01:11:27.380 --> 01:11:32.260 Row? Five -time platinum selling in the U .S., 01:11:32.260 --> 01:11:36.220 which means it was huge. It went over on the 01:11:36.220 --> 01:11:38.539 West Coast as well, too, on all the radio and 01:11:38.539 --> 01:11:41.720 all the songs. And sonically, as we've spoken 01:11:41.720 --> 01:11:43.720 about other bands, this one I think is mixed 01:11:43.720 --> 01:11:46.380 really well. So it plays really well. It plays 01:11:46.380 --> 01:11:50.720 really well loud. It's a perfect balance. The 01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:54.619 bass, the drums, the guitar. They nailed it. 01:11:54.640 --> 01:11:57.119 At the time, that's all you listen to. And it 01:11:57.119 --> 01:11:58.560 was a little bit different at the time coming 01:11:58.560 --> 01:12:01.000 out. You're getting away from Poison and the 01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:03.460 lighter stuff. And they were a little bit heavier. 01:12:03.619 --> 01:12:05.899 Of course, Metallica comes along and kills that. 01:12:06.020 --> 01:12:09.840 But still, and I think they teamed up with Pantera 01:12:09.840 --> 01:12:14.560 not too long after this. So, yeah, we wore the 01:12:14.560 --> 01:12:17.039 album out to where you can't play it anymore. 01:12:17.460 --> 01:12:20.300 You don't need to hear 18 and Life ever again. 01:12:21.429 --> 01:12:25.430 Never, and just stop. So that's what happens 01:12:25.430 --> 01:12:32.710 is you listen to it too much. Yeah, it's the 01:12:32.710 --> 01:12:37.750 ballad thing. It's like enough. But pretty much 01:12:37.750 --> 01:12:39.930 all of these albums have the ballad, right? True. 01:12:40.729 --> 01:12:45.390 Yeah, Testament, Great White, LA Guns, Tesla. 01:12:47.149 --> 01:12:49.770 I'm not sure about the Wasp album, but Motley 01:12:49.770 --> 01:12:54.869 Crue had several, and this had several. Yeah, 01:12:54.890 --> 01:12:59.210 it was mandatory during those years. Yeah. Yeah, 01:12:59.369 --> 01:13:01.529 the record company is probably leaning on it. 01:13:01.529 --> 01:13:03.850 Yeah, because they made them for me. I like balance. 01:13:06.949 --> 01:13:12.430 You're the guy. I like a good, solid power balance 01:13:12.430 --> 01:13:16.699 from the late 80s, early 90s. There you go. What's 01:13:16.699 --> 01:13:19.020 your favorite food to cook while listening to 01:13:19.020 --> 01:13:26.960 a ballad? Oh, it's always some selfish. Mussels, 01:13:27.020 --> 01:13:33.220 spaghetti vongole. Oh, vongole. A la vongole, 01:13:33.340 --> 01:13:38.939 yeah. I think at this point, Johan likes to move 01:13:38.939 --> 01:13:41.579 it from the kitchen to maybe the bedroom. That 01:13:41.579 --> 01:13:51.050 is true. Oh, man. All right. There's another 01:13:51.050 --> 01:13:53.050 show right there, Victor. What's your go -to 01:13:53.050 --> 01:13:56.270 song in the bedroom? There you go. Top ten. Top 01:13:56.270 --> 01:13:59.449 ten bedroom songs. Could be a topic for the future. 01:14:00.430 --> 01:14:05.770 Let's talk about that Slayer bone again. I'm 01:14:05.770 --> 01:14:07.750 sorry. Sometimes you've got to hit your Slayer 01:14:07.750 --> 01:14:12.640 bone. Wait, wait, wait. Where'd that go? Tickle 01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:18.600 my Slayer bone. I love having my Slayer bone 01:14:18.600 --> 01:14:26.180 tickled. Rock and roll. That's it. All right. 01:14:26.180 --> 01:14:31.960 So let's recap this real quick. At 10, Black 01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:34.979 Sabbath, the Headless Cross. At 9, Testament 01:14:34.979 --> 01:14:38.600 with Practice What You Preach. At 8, Great White 01:14:38.600 --> 01:14:42.960 with Twice Bitten. At seven, Faith No More with 01:14:42.960 --> 01:14:46.359 The Real Thing. At six, L .A. Guns Cocked and 01:14:46.359 --> 01:14:49.899 Loaded. At five, Tessel with The Great Radio 01:14:49.899 --> 01:14:53.939 Controversy. At four, Wasp with The Headless 01:14:53.939 --> 01:14:58.640 Children. At three, Motley Crue with Dr. Feelgood. 01:14:58.739 --> 01:15:02.680 At two, Skid Row with their self -titled debut 01:15:02.680 --> 01:15:10.149 album. Any guesses as to... What number one is, 01:15:10.229 --> 01:15:14.229 or you guys just want me to go with the... I 01:15:14.229 --> 01:15:18.229 think I know. Well, I can say what it is. I know. 01:15:18.770 --> 01:15:24.289 Sodom. Great agent orange. Jeremy? The cult. 01:15:26.470 --> 01:15:34.869 Metal Dan? It's not Lizzie Borden. I don't know 01:15:34.869 --> 01:15:37.750 what the number one is, but it's not mine. Brad? 01:15:39.029 --> 01:15:42.270 It's not Badlands. I'm looking at my list here, 01:15:42.430 --> 01:15:46.189 and I don't. It's not Leatherwolf. I don't know. 01:15:47.250 --> 01:15:49.289 That's a West Coast thing. Not Leatherwolf. Ed, 01:15:49.369 --> 01:15:55.170 any guesses? It's not except. Sepultura? No. 01:15:55.329 --> 01:15:59.649 Yes. Yes. There you go. It's not. Could I get 01:15:59.649 --> 01:16:03.510 that lucky tonight? It's not Dirty Looks. All 01:16:03.510 --> 01:16:05.750 right. All right. So, Johan, it should be Rush, 01:16:05.829 --> 01:16:09.869 right? It's not Rush. Presto. It's not that great 01:16:09.869 --> 01:16:14.430 a sound. Number one. Oh, wait. Where's the sound? 01:16:14.949 --> 01:16:18.789 Number one. Oh, you got to be shitting me. All 01:16:18.789 --> 01:16:21.229 right. Hold on. Let me fix this. Comment if you 01:16:21.229 --> 01:16:25.329 know it, Victor. It's Steve Stevens. Atomic Playboy. 01:16:25.350 --> 01:16:34.529 Atomic Playboys. No, it is not. I bet Dan has 01:16:34.529 --> 01:16:39.470 some. Oh, why is this just working? Hold on, 01:16:39.550 --> 01:16:46.829 hold on. Yeah, I do. I knew it. I wish I could 01:16:46.829 --> 01:16:48.270 have seen more. Nothing like technical difficulties 01:16:48.270 --> 01:16:53.989 on the air. It's not Annihilator, which is almost 01:16:53.989 --> 01:17:00.789 a perfect album. It's not, oh, Blue Murder. It's 01:17:00.789 --> 01:17:03.949 not Badlands. It's got to be the Celts. Udo. 01:17:05.940 --> 01:17:10.939 Number one. Oh, come on. That's it? Are you going 01:17:10.939 --> 01:17:14.180 to give us? That's all I'm going to give you 01:17:14.180 --> 01:17:18.720 guys. I've been hearing this in my head. Is that 01:17:18.720 --> 01:17:24.460 Badlands? Badlands. Badlands. Yeah. Badlands. 01:17:25.699 --> 01:17:31.159 Must be. You sure that's Badlands? Yes. That's 01:17:31.159 --> 01:17:34.060 the final answer. But that's what I'm going with. 01:17:34.060 --> 01:17:35.500 That's one of the widest album covers of that 01:17:35.500 --> 01:17:39.539 year. That's the cult. Besides Pump by Aerosmith. 01:17:39.859 --> 01:17:46.180 It's not that. Seeing if Edgar Winterson had 01:17:46.180 --> 01:17:51.779 a guess or not. What did he have? I am pleased 01:17:51.779 --> 01:17:58.539 to say because I'm very happy with This result, 01:17:58.659 --> 01:18:01.960 the number one album, as voted by you guys, at 01:18:01.960 --> 01:18:08.939 one point, Skid Row's self -titled debut is the 01:18:08.939 --> 01:18:17.659 self -titled debut by... Who? Whoa. Yes! Yes! 01:18:19.039 --> 01:18:24.939 Released May 11th. Released tomorrow. In 1989, 01:18:25.260 --> 01:18:30.579 recorded October 88 through January 89, recorded 01:18:30.579 --> 01:18:34.560 at one -on -one studios, Los Angeles and the 01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:38.819 record plant in New York City. Thankfully, it 01:18:38.819 --> 01:18:41.920 is listed as blues rock and hard rock, and no 01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:45.859 one decided to throw glam metal in there. 49 01:18:45.859 --> 01:18:49.640 minutes, 33 seconds. Label was Titanium Atlantic. 01:18:50.460 --> 01:18:56.699 Producers, Paul O 'Neill. And Badlands, the single 01:18:56.699 --> 01:19:00.159 was, as you guys heard there, Eric Singer with 01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:04.039 Dreams in the Dark with the B -side being Hard 01:19:04.039 --> 01:19:10.699 Driver. The Edgar Winters song. Dan, Badlands. 01:19:13.300 --> 01:19:15.680 All I could – when I think of Badlands, it's 01:19:15.680 --> 01:19:18.340 controversy as it's not available and it's banned 01:19:18.340 --> 01:19:22.590 now. Something happened. Something happened. 01:19:22.810 --> 01:19:28.029 We unfortunately had a lead singer who willfully 01:19:28.029 --> 01:19:31.850 infected people with AIDS. And as part of the 01:19:31.850 --> 01:19:36.829 settlement is that these albums can not be re 01:19:36.829 --> 01:19:39.430 -released. Rock Candy or somebody along those 01:19:39.430 --> 01:19:44.010 lines was going to re -release it. And when it 01:19:44.010 --> 01:19:47.949 was about to be re -released, it was pulled from 01:19:47.949 --> 01:19:51.760 the shelves because of... A court order because 01:19:51.760 --> 01:19:55.920 settlement with the families was that neither 01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:59.779 of these two albums could be re -released. I 01:19:59.779 --> 01:20:03.619 am ignorant to the situation and really – I don't 01:20:03.619 --> 01:20:07.460 know. Don't judge. I don't know. And I have the 01:20:07.460 --> 01:20:10.319 original. I listened to it. It wouldn't be my 01:20:10.319 --> 01:20:13.779 number one. It's good. It sounds great. It's 01:20:13.779 --> 01:20:20.119 not all that. Yeah, I'm with you on this, Dan. 01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:21.640 I mean, when the album came out, I was like, 01:20:21.720 --> 01:20:23.479 yeah, this is pretty cool, but it's kind of... 01:20:23.479 --> 01:20:26.600 I like the second album better, but that's me. 01:20:27.859 --> 01:20:31.880 But I still think this is just a great, great 01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:35.500 album performance -wise. I mean, Jakey Lee was 01:20:35.500 --> 01:20:39.119 just tearing it up. Say what you want about Ray 01:20:39.119 --> 01:20:44.199 and his escapades. He was an incredible vocalist. 01:20:44.260 --> 01:20:46.600 I mean, really, really just unbelievable how 01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:51.170 good he was. So, and I got to say the bass playing 01:20:51.170 --> 01:20:54.649 on these Badlands albums is just fantastic. I 01:20:54.649 --> 01:20:57.510 mean, it's good old, good old just jamming out 01:20:57.510 --> 01:21:00.010 and not just following the guitar player. And 01:21:00.010 --> 01:21:03.170 Greg Chaison or whatever his name is. Chaison. 01:21:03.470 --> 01:21:08.430 Yep. Chaison. Yeah, he does a great job. It's 01:21:08.430 --> 01:21:11.710 a good sounding album. But it didn't fit into 01:21:11.710 --> 01:21:14.229 any of the niche of this year either. I mean, 01:21:14.229 --> 01:21:16.109 there was not a single band doing what these 01:21:16.109 --> 01:21:19.869 guys were doing. These guys absolutely did not 01:21:19.869 --> 01:21:26.770 chase what was going on at the time. No ballad 01:21:26.770 --> 01:21:29.229 that would fit into any of these other albums. 01:21:29.710 --> 01:21:32.869 So I got to give them credit for that. They did 01:21:32.869 --> 01:21:35.770 their own thing, probably paid a price commercially 01:21:35.770 --> 01:21:38.609 for it. I don't know that they ever really headlined 01:21:38.609 --> 01:21:43.649 any decent shows or anything like that. But I 01:21:43.649 --> 01:21:45.350 never got to see them. Dan, you ever get to see 01:21:45.350 --> 01:21:48.939 them? If I did, I don't recall it. It's not in 01:21:48.939 --> 01:21:53.420 my memory. Wow. Okay. Yeah. I would have loved 01:21:53.420 --> 01:21:56.039 to have seen them. But anyway, I think it's a 01:21:56.039 --> 01:21:59.000 great album. I was, I got to say it was number 01:21:59.000 --> 01:22:02.840 two on my list. So there you go. Anyone else? 01:22:03.060 --> 01:22:08.220 Badlands? Oh, and if you want to hear it, if 01:22:08.220 --> 01:22:10.279 you don't, can't buy it, can't stream it, you 01:22:10.279 --> 01:22:14.840 can hear it on yardmetal .com. So I have a question. 01:22:15.600 --> 01:22:19.939 Go ahead. So I didn't hear this album until probably 01:22:19.939 --> 01:22:24.260 the last 10 to 20 years. If I even did hear some 01:22:24.260 --> 01:22:27.439 of it, I don't know how I did because, as you 01:22:27.439 --> 01:22:32.500 said, it's not available to buy or stream. But 01:22:32.500 --> 01:22:37.180 this is more like a bluesy hard rock band, correct? 01:22:37.300 --> 01:22:40.640 Yes, correct. And so what were Jake's solos like 01:22:40.640 --> 01:22:43.800 on this album compared to what he did in Ozzy? 01:22:47.660 --> 01:22:51.420 His tone is just incredibly raw, just like guitar 01:22:51.420 --> 01:22:53.920 plugged straight into the amp and just burning. 01:22:54.319 --> 01:22:57.180 I mean, he's just blistering. In fact, everybody, 01:22:57.340 --> 01:22:59.300 the drums, Eric Singer's playing drums on this 01:22:59.300 --> 01:23:04.180 one. Yeah, everything is just, these guys are 01:23:04.180 --> 01:23:08.579 just rocking and just playing. It's kind of like 01:23:08.579 --> 01:23:10.699 good old humble pie kind of thing where the guys 01:23:10.699 --> 01:23:12.699 are just really putting their soul into every 01:23:12.699 --> 01:23:18.300 note of the song. Are his solos more like a bluesy 01:23:18.300 --> 01:23:21.239 rock -based solo and less shredding, I would 01:23:21.239 --> 01:23:24.960 think, with the music? Yeah, but they're still 01:23:24.960 --> 01:23:29.600 shredding. Yeah, tone -wise, it's nothing like 01:23:29.600 --> 01:23:31.100 what he did with Austin. But, I mean, you're 01:23:31.100 --> 01:23:37.640 crossing, like, Jake's fiery solos with, and 01:23:37.640 --> 01:23:39.600 I don't want to say a Stevie Ray Vaughan sound 01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:44.500 because it isn't as clean as Stevie. But there's 01:23:44.500 --> 01:23:50.979 still a lot of like fire and oomph to it. This 01:23:50.979 --> 01:23:53.659 was my number one. I have no problem admitting 01:23:53.659 --> 01:23:55.840 it. I absolutely love this album. I like the 01:23:55.840 --> 01:24:01.659 second album more, but I think this is a masterpiece 01:24:01.659 --> 01:24:07.140 because you listen to Jake soloing with Eric's 01:24:07.140 --> 01:24:11.680 playing and with Greg Chason's bass playing behind 01:24:11.680 --> 01:24:16.739 it. They're going in completely different directions, 01:24:16.739 --> 01:24:21.939 and it all works. Like, Greg Chason isn't doubling 01:24:21.939 --> 01:24:25.619 Jake. Greg Chason playing walking bass, he's 01:24:25.619 --> 01:24:30.420 doing a lot of different, like, complicated patterns. 01:24:32.039 --> 01:24:35.359 And he's got his own bass tone, too. Johan, you 01:24:35.359 --> 01:24:41.060 got this album? No, I haven't. I only have heard... 01:24:41.479 --> 01:24:44.359 one or two songs of it. So I can't really comment 01:24:44.359 --> 01:24:48.220 on that. Yeah. Yeah. As a, yeah, as a bass player, 01:24:48.300 --> 01:24:49.939 you'd have to, you'd have to love this stuff. 01:24:49.979 --> 01:24:53.560 The guy's great tone and a great playing. And 01:24:53.560 --> 01:24:57.579 it's just, yeah. I'm kind of, I'm kind of now 01:24:57.579 --> 01:24:59.859 making, I want to make this my number one, Victor. 01:25:00.060 --> 01:25:04.359 Too late. Too late. We all made it number one. 01:25:05.619 --> 01:25:08.260 There you go. Your number two is still factored 01:25:08.260 --> 01:25:12.680 in there. Yeah. And you got number one without 01:25:12.680 --> 01:25:15.020 really any commercial success. I don't know how 01:25:15.020 --> 01:25:18.760 much this sold. Probably didn't go platinum, 01:25:18.800 --> 01:25:21.119 did it? I think it went gold. I think the album 01:25:21.119 --> 01:25:24.859 did go gold. Yeah. Yeah. So for an album to not 01:25:24.859 --> 01:25:27.420 sell much, not be available now to the world, 01:25:27.460 --> 01:25:31.520 other than on Yard Metal, and it made number 01:25:31.520 --> 01:25:33.500 one with our group. That's pretty impressive. 01:25:33.680 --> 01:25:36.619 No, I agree with that. And that's why, to me, 01:25:36.640 --> 01:25:39.640 I was happy that this ended up as number one. 01:25:40.110 --> 01:25:43.069 Because I wasn't expecting it at all, even though 01:25:43.069 --> 01:25:46.670 I had personally voted it number one. I said, 01:25:46.810 --> 01:25:49.930 there's no way. Like I said, I thought Motley 01:25:49.930 --> 01:25:52.489 Crue's Dr. Feelgood, because of its popularity, 01:25:52.829 --> 01:25:57.029 was going to be a runaway number one. I said, 01:25:57.029 --> 01:26:01.210 there's no way. And as I'm tallying things up, 01:26:01.310 --> 01:26:05.550 I'm like, shit, a lot of the top 10 is a lot 01:26:05.550 --> 01:26:08.140 of things that I voted for. So for the first 01:26:08.140 --> 01:26:12.439 time, there's a lot of stuff in here that I really 01:26:12.439 --> 01:26:17.159 enjoy. I mean, honestly, outside of three albums 01:26:17.159 --> 01:26:21.699 that didn't make my top ten, the rest are kind 01:26:21.699 --> 01:26:27.600 of in there. Yeah, I'm kind of amazed that the 01:26:27.600 --> 01:26:31.319 Kiss album ranked up there with the – I mean, 01:26:31.340 --> 01:26:33.760 I thought Ace's album was actually a lot better 01:26:33.760 --> 01:26:36.239 than the Kiss album. I agree with that as well. 01:26:36.279 --> 01:26:40.140 I think to me, Trouble Walking is Ace's strongest 01:26:40.140 --> 01:26:44.000 solo album. That's exactly what I was going to 01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:49.239 say. Hot in the Shade is hot in the shit. I mean, 01:26:49.260 --> 01:26:51.899 it's one of their worst albums, but it just shows 01:26:51.899 --> 01:26:55.739 the popularity of the brand and the logo. I mean, 01:26:55.779 --> 01:27:00.359 the album is just a bunch of demos. It's, you 01:27:00.359 --> 01:27:03.420 know, it's got. a ton of ghost players and drum 01:27:03.420 --> 01:27:07.220 machines on it. And they recorded in the same 01:27:07.220 --> 01:27:10.039 studio that appetite for destruction was recorded 01:27:10.039 --> 01:27:12.520 in just to see if they could get their own appetite 01:27:12.520 --> 01:27:17.279 out of there. I mean, it's just the whole ridiculousness 01:27:17.279 --> 01:27:21.020 of them chasing fads and trying to be popular. 01:27:21.939 --> 01:27:24.659 So, yeah. Hey, I got to throw one out there for 01:27:24.659 --> 01:27:28.840 Dan. Dan, did Lord Tracy meet your top 10? I 01:27:28.840 --> 01:27:32.000 love Lord Tracy. I still listen to them today. 01:27:32.520 --> 01:27:35.159 They didn't make my top ten. But let me tell 01:27:35.159 --> 01:27:38.359 you, Lords of Babylon, they toured with Ace and 01:27:38.359 --> 01:27:41.640 they broke in the U .S. because of that, in my 01:27:41.640 --> 01:27:45.840 opinion. And they have live album on streaming 01:27:45.840 --> 01:27:50.109 and I listen to it. I still want to see them 01:27:50.109 --> 01:27:52.350 now. I saw them back then, and I want to see 01:27:52.350 --> 01:27:55.630 them today. They still hold up, and I miss them. 01:27:55.750 --> 01:27:58.710 The singer is amazing. The bass player is amazing. 01:27:59.489 --> 01:28:04.010 What a band. Let's go to Texas because that's 01:28:04.010 --> 01:28:06.489 where they play, and I'm probably going to have 01:28:06.489 --> 01:28:09.010 to get on a plane when they finally do it again 01:28:09.010 --> 01:28:11.170 because they've done it like two years ago, I 01:28:11.170 --> 01:28:14.470 want to say. They put a show together, and it's 01:28:14.470 --> 01:28:16.390 like, I got to go. One of these times, I got 01:28:16.390 --> 01:28:21.159 to make the effort. I'll meet you there. Johan, 01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:24.479 you ever heard of Lord Tracy? No. That's a fun 01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:27.899 album. Never heard of him. Jeremy, Lord Tracy, 01:28:27.899 --> 01:28:31.779 for those that don't know, features Terry Glaze, 01:28:31.800 --> 01:28:37.420 the original lead singer of Pantera. Yeah, so 01:28:37.420 --> 01:28:40.600 that's the – I have that album in my collection. 01:28:41.100 --> 01:28:44.539 Yeah, and Phil does it better. But, yeah, that's 01:28:44.539 --> 01:28:49.210 how he broke it. Screw that. Lord Tracy, he's 01:28:49.210 --> 01:28:51.210 got a great thing in that band. There's enough 01:28:51.210 --> 01:28:54.390 albums. I wish they made more. That album, that 01:28:54.390 --> 01:28:59.649 Lord, not that. Yes. Lord Tracy is on the list. 01:29:00.149 --> 01:29:02.949 People voted for that album. That's a perfect 01:29:02.949 --> 01:29:06.369 album. I missed it, Brad. I missed it. I screwed 01:29:06.369 --> 01:29:09.270 up. That's all right. So I'm going to challenge 01:29:09.270 --> 01:29:11.289 everybody here who hasn't listened to this album, 01:29:11.489 --> 01:29:14.500 Deaf Gods of Babylon. Listen to it. I mean, it 01:29:14.500 --> 01:29:17.079 covers a lot of territory there. They kind of 01:29:17.079 --> 01:29:19.640 remind me of what some an old Swedish band would 01:29:19.640 --> 01:29:22.520 do. They kind of trying to spread the music around 01:29:22.520 --> 01:29:25.659 to touch all different kinds of areas rather 01:29:25.659 --> 01:29:29.239 than just every song is kind of the same. But 01:29:29.239 --> 01:29:31.520 it's all good. It's it's a really, really good, 01:29:31.579 --> 01:29:34.159 solid album. Deaf Gods of Babylon, Lord Tracy. 01:29:34.159 --> 01:29:38.630 They're a tight playing band. But they like to 01:29:38.630 --> 01:29:41.609 screw around and play, kind of like what Metallica 01:29:41.609 --> 01:29:44.270 does, and they don't take themselves so seriously. 01:29:45.130 --> 01:29:47.949 Not at all. And that background squeal thing, 01:29:48.010 --> 01:29:52.050 that ooh -ah thing, I can't do it, is, yeah, 01:29:52.210 --> 01:29:54.829 damn, it's so good. I've listened to it over 01:29:54.829 --> 01:29:56.789 and over, and I haven't really gotten tired of 01:29:56.789 --> 01:30:01.369 it, that live thing. Okay. There you go. There 01:30:01.369 --> 01:30:03.710 you go. Edgar, if you're still there, listen 01:30:03.710 --> 01:30:07.119 to that album, Deaf Gods of Babylon. I could 01:30:07.119 --> 01:30:10.560 listen to it. I would geek out with you on that 01:30:10.560 --> 01:30:12.439 album. That's amazing. We'd have a good time 01:30:12.439 --> 01:30:19.319 talking about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I love 01:30:19.319 --> 01:30:21.939 that album. Okay. Why did we hijack this, didn't 01:30:21.939 --> 01:30:24.899 we? Number one, I fucked up. That guy, Nick, 01:30:24.939 --> 01:30:29.880 missed kicks that one year. Yeah. See that? You're 01:30:29.880 --> 01:30:38.319 kicking yourself about that, huh? Yeah. All right, 01:30:38.399 --> 01:30:41.039 cool. So I do want to thank everyone who voted 01:30:41.039 --> 01:30:45.720 for this 1989 special. Like I said, great turnout. 01:30:46.199 --> 01:30:49.140 Great turnout of the list. A lot of good music 01:30:49.140 --> 01:30:52.800 came out this year. The full list will be posted 01:30:52.800 --> 01:30:56.920 up on signalsfrommars .com when the podcast audio 01:30:56.920 --> 01:31:00.520 version is released so you guys can see where 01:31:00.520 --> 01:31:07.839 your picks ended up. A lot of great music. But 01:31:07.839 --> 01:31:11.000 there you go, Brad trying to do his D .O. with 01:31:11.000 --> 01:31:16.380 the lasers.
