Verkalehigalum. Welcome to My Weekly Mixtape,

00:00:32.189 --> 00:00:34.689
a podcast that takes the classic mixtape approach

00:00:34.689 --> 00:00:37.829
to building a modern playlist. I'm your host,

00:00:37.869 --> 00:00:40.549
Brian Colburn. Joining me for tonight's collaboration

00:00:40.549 --> 00:00:44.329
is good friend and fellow musician, Sean Faust.

00:00:44.329 --> 00:00:47.250
Sean, thank you so much for joining me on the

00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:52.729
show. You know, Brian, you're welcome for having

00:00:52.729 --> 00:00:56.810
me on your show. I hope that you're feeling the

00:00:56.810 --> 00:00:59.509
grace of my presence, knowing that Sean Faust

00:00:59.509 --> 00:01:02.270
took time out of his day to be here with you.

00:01:02.369 --> 00:01:08.209
Brian? Brian? Hey, Brian, are you there? Brian?

00:01:09.250 --> 00:01:13.170
Brian? We're doing my weekly mixtape today, bro.

00:01:13.489 --> 00:01:16.049
Yes, we are. But seriously, thanks for having

00:01:16.049 --> 00:01:18.349
me on, man. Thank you so much for having me on.

00:01:18.730 --> 00:01:20.950
I've been addicted to your show. So every time

00:01:20.950 --> 00:01:22.930
it comes out, I'm like, all right, hey, put me

00:01:22.930 --> 00:01:25.230
in one of those isolation rooms to clean so I

00:01:25.230 --> 00:01:27.930
can listen to this podcast. So the cats are getting

00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:30.730
used to your voice as well. And I'm just loving

00:01:30.730 --> 00:01:32.750
it. I love this show. So honestly, thank you

00:01:32.750 --> 00:01:37.150
for having me on and gracing me with your presence

00:01:37.150 --> 00:01:38.890
because we haven't really talked in a while anyway.

00:01:39.010 --> 00:01:41.359
So this is pretty awesome to do. Seriously, it

00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.500
feels like forever. Well, I'm really excited.

00:01:43.659 --> 00:01:46.420
And I'm going to start by asking you the same

00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:48.719
question I ask everybody. And being you listen

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.140
to the show, I know you know what's about to

00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:54.939
come. But Sean, what does the word mixtape mean

00:01:54.939 --> 00:01:58.359
to you? My good friend Brian started a podcast

00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:02.640
called My Weekly Mixtape. And I mean, I never

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.500
heard of mixtapes. Until Brian started this show.

00:02:06.739 --> 00:02:08.680
And I thought it was, wow, that's a pretty cool

00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.300
idea. So what I did was I headed over to the

00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:14.919
local drugstore. I won't say its name because

00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.539
apparently it's anti -woman now. And I'm not

00:02:17.539 --> 00:02:20.599
pro that drugstore anymore. But I bought some

00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.879
TDK D90 cassettes. And I've got them ready to

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.340
go. And they're type 2, by the way. So type 2,

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.560
that was with Chrome. And you always wanted to

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.000
record on type 2 because you got a better sound

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.620
out of it. Not that I know anything about cassettes.

00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.159
I'm talking out of my butt here. But I used to

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.159
make mixtapes. Oh, my God. After I saw Dream

00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:43.659
Theater for the first time, of course I'm going

00:02:43.659 --> 00:02:46.319
to mention them, right? I'm Sean Faust. I had

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.840
about 10 90 -minute cassettes of different set

00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.400
lists that I would love to hear from them. Because,

00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.800
I mean, at the time, it was Images and Words,

00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.360
Awake, Change the Seasons, and When Dream and

00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.360
Day Unite. So I must have made 10 mixtapes just

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.259
of Dream Theater. But I did it with Pink Floyd

00:03:03.259 --> 00:03:06.659
one time. analog let me let me blow your mind

00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:09.180
with this breathe i cut out time went right to

00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:11.599
the breather pre's it felt seamless so when they

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.439
did it in 2005 i was like oh my god did you guys

00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.280
get a copy of my pink floyd mixtape that's phenomenal

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.039
so i used to do stuff like hard rock i was into

00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.039
or like you know you know i would just put a

00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.780
cassette in and uh it was it's a cheap mixtape

00:03:26.780 --> 00:03:28.240
because what i would do is i would hit record

00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:33.270
on 1480z rock Oh, yeah. Just let that go. And

00:03:33.270 --> 00:03:36.409
that's how I got turned on to so much cool stuff

00:03:36.409 --> 00:03:40.650
around 1991. So I'm really looking forward to

00:03:40.650 --> 00:03:45.009
making a mixtape with you based on some of the

00:03:45.009 --> 00:03:47.030
music that we were listening to around that age.

00:03:47.449 --> 00:03:50.270
Oh, God. Yeah. A lot of the songs that I have

00:03:50.270 --> 00:03:53.349
on my list for tonight came from discovering.

00:03:54.169 --> 00:03:58.310
these bands on 1480z rock and to a certain extent

00:03:58.310 --> 00:04:01.949
89 .5 wsou those were a little bit heavier than

00:04:01.949 --> 00:04:03.449
some of the bands we're going to talk about tonight

00:04:03.449 --> 00:04:06.449
yeah yeah but there was some overlap every now

00:04:06.449 --> 00:04:09.990
and then but a lot of the stuff 1480z rock was

00:04:09.990 --> 00:04:13.870
my station and the songs we are going to be curating

00:04:13.870 --> 00:04:18.569
tonight all center around power ballads and for

00:04:18.569 --> 00:04:22.540
the sake of tonight's show We did not tie this

00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:26.279
episode to a decade because there were a ton

00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.439
of amazing power ballads that came out in the

00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:34.720
early 90s that would musically fall under the

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:38.860
quote unquote 80s hard rock power ballad. But

00:04:38.860 --> 00:04:43.139
because 90, 91 and 92, these bands were still

00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:46.060
part of the active rotation. they would have

00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:48.899
been cut out of an 80s power ballad playlist.

00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:52.319
But for the sake of an argument, you know the

00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:56.180
songs we're talking about. Those are a slow rock

00:04:56.180 --> 00:04:59.920
song with a strong, emotional vocal delivery

00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:04.079
and typically a grandiose production. That was

00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.139
the Oxford language's definition of a power ballad.

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.660
So, Sean, taking the dictionary out of the equation.

00:05:11.899 --> 00:05:14.620
Yes, let's please do that. What were you looking

00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:17.079
for in the power ballads that you brought to

00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.180
the table this evening? I mean, it's pretty much,

00:05:20.259 --> 00:05:22.480
let's ignore that dictionary and just go for

00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.560
like, when we heard power ballads when we were

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.420
kids, the first thing that came out of our pockets

00:05:26.420 --> 00:05:29.800
were our cigarette lighters. Yes. And just, you

00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.180
know, put them in the air. It's just a mellow

00:05:32.180 --> 00:05:34.819
togetherness kind of thing where like, even bands

00:05:34.819 --> 00:05:37.439
got hip to the whole power ballad thing where

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.500
like, they would start songs off slow. Just to,

00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:42.420
like, kick it into rock and roll. Like, the first

00:05:42.420 --> 00:05:44.579
thing that comes to mind is Come Undone from

00:05:44.579 --> 00:05:49.360
the first Damn Yankees album. Or Just for the

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.939
record, let's get the story straight. Uncle Tom's

00:05:51.939 --> 00:05:54.139
Cabin. That was the one I was going to go for.

00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.839
So, like, you know, here's this acoustic or piano

00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.079
slow intro and then, like, bam, rocker song because

00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.060
they wanted to get people listening to the tune.

00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:06.120
And power ballads were the thing for the longest

00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.689
time. So I just think, like, Some mellow and

00:06:09.689 --> 00:06:13.069
then bam, big power coming in at you. I'd start

00:06:13.069 --> 00:06:14.990
naming song titles, but then I'd be screwing

00:06:14.990 --> 00:06:17.930
up our tape. Well, let's get down to business

00:06:17.930 --> 00:06:20.490
then. Tonight, as I mentioned earlier, Sean and

00:06:20.490 --> 00:06:23.089
I will be curating the ultimate power ballads

00:06:23.089 --> 00:06:25.670
mixtape and we'll use the old cassette deck approach,

00:06:25.870 --> 00:06:28.230
meaning our mixtape will be broken up into two

00:06:28.230 --> 00:06:31.939
sides, side A and side B. Sean, as the special

00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:34.420
guest, will begin side A with his first song

00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:36.899
choice, and then I'll add a song that I feel

00:06:36.899 --> 00:06:40.019
best follows up his choice. We'll then flip -flop

00:06:40.019 --> 00:06:42.319
choosing songs until we've mapped out 10 songs

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.519
for side A. We'll then give our mixtape a proverbial

00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.279
flip, and we'll map out side B, only this time

00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.639
I'll kick the side off, and Sean will choose

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.560
second. Our overall goal for the episode is to

00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.019
craft the best power ballads mixtape possible

00:06:56.019 --> 00:06:59.529
through only 20 songs. At the end of the show,

00:06:59.550 --> 00:07:01.589
you could take our conversation to the next level

00:07:01.589 --> 00:07:05.069

two and a half hours into the Power Ballads episode,

00:10:38.539 --> 00:10:42.200
I guess there's no better time now than to put

00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.919
those lighters down, press the record button

00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.639
on this mixtape, and get things started. Sean,

00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:51.039
what Power Ballad are you kicking off tonight's

00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:55.799
festivities with? Now, I want this tape to start

00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:59.000
with something that's just going to grab you,

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:02.690
but kind of like ease you into it as well. So

00:11:02.690 --> 00:11:05.549
I'm going to go with, it's not very well known,

00:11:05.649 --> 00:11:07.710
but it was kind of big at the time. And it was

00:11:07.710 --> 00:11:08.970
one of those songs that people would be like,

00:11:09.049 --> 00:11:11.330
oh my God, they would go to MTV and they'd have

00:11:11.330 --> 00:11:14.289
to video, like, you know, put the VCRs on to

00:11:14.289 --> 00:11:16.129
like get it. And then they would like, you know,

00:11:16.129 --> 00:11:18.570
put their like cassette player, like cassette

00:11:18.570 --> 00:11:21.149
recorders up to the TV to record it. Because

00:11:21.149 --> 00:11:23.470
nobody bought this band's album for some reason.

00:11:23.470 --> 00:11:26.330
I don't know why, but I'll tell you. The song

00:11:26.330 --> 00:11:29.610
I'm going with is I'll See You In My Dreams by

00:11:29.610 --> 00:11:35.830
Giant. Big, grand, huge, awesome chorus, great

00:11:35.830 --> 00:11:39.330
musicianship, and just that mellow intro that

00:11:39.330 --> 00:11:42.490
kind of leads you into where it's going. What

00:11:42.490 --> 00:11:46.990
a fantastic, dude, I love Giant. I actually would

00:11:46.990 --> 00:11:49.289
have thought the song Chained, but that's a little

00:11:49.289 --> 00:11:52.289
bit more of a mid -tempo rocker. But again, it

00:11:52.289 --> 00:11:54.710
starts with that slower opening, like you said,

00:11:54.750 --> 00:11:57.389
to kind of pull you into the song. And that was

00:11:57.389 --> 00:12:01.519
a big part of it. Dude could sing, man. Oh, absolutely.

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.139
I absolutely love that group. And you know what?

00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.179
I already know the perfect song to follow that

00:12:09.179 --> 00:12:12.379
up with. And we're going to start this kind of

00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:15.539
on a deeper end here. This is a band that I discovered,

00:12:15.820 --> 00:12:19.399
believe it or not, at the Garden State Plaza.

00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.759
They had several record stores around the 89,

00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:27.210
90, 91 range. And I think it was Record Town.

00:12:27.269 --> 00:12:29.590
It was in the far corner of the other end of

00:12:29.590 --> 00:12:32.429
the mall. It certainly wasn't Sam Gooden. That

00:12:32.429 --> 00:12:33.830
was Record World. Record World. It was Record

00:12:33.830 --> 00:12:36.840
World. Record Town was the Bergen Mall. Bergen

00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.899
Mall. Yes. Okay. So Record World had a bin. They

00:12:40.899 --> 00:12:43.399
had a cutout bin in the front of the store. And

00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:45.559
my buddy and I were in the store flipping through

00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:49.059
CDs. And they had this band in there called Baton

00:12:49.059 --> 00:12:52.080
Rouge. And the album was called Shake Your Soul.

00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.539
And the album cover looked interesting enough

00:12:54.539 --> 00:12:57.960
for us to buy it. Sight unseen. Never heard of

00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:59.799
the band before, but the album cover looked like

00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.120
a rock album. And we said, hey, I'll kick a dollar

00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.440
and you kick a dollar and let's give it a try.

00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.100
And it turned out to be a fantastic band. The

00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:12.000
singer has a voice similar to Sammy Hagar. It's

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.820
that typical late 80s, early 90s bravado style

00:13:15.820 --> 00:13:18.519
of rock. And we both fell in love with this band.

00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.059
Two years later, they released The Sophomore

00:13:21.059 --> 00:13:24.460
Effort, 1991's Lights Out on the Playground.

00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:27.279
And the song I'm going to go with is from that

00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:31.100
album. And it's a song called Desperate. Might

00:13:31.100 --> 00:13:33.240
sound familiar right now because at the beginning

00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.360
of the show, Derek Carreview chimed in with a

00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:41.639
song from 1989, Babylon A .D., Desperate. It's

00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.879
the same song. So I want to give a second shout

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.779
out to Derek because I love the track. But because

00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:49.960
of the connection I have with the band Baton

00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.580
Rouge and those memories I have, I had to go

00:13:52.580 --> 00:13:57.360
with their version instead. It is that grandiose,

00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:59.840
the entire, there's not a lot of vocal harmonies

00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:02.659
in the chorus, but the whole band sings the chorus.

00:14:02.700 --> 00:14:06.460
So it gives you that feeling of just that sing

00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:09.259
-along type song. And it's just a fantastic power

00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:13.000
ballad. So following you up, Baton Rouge, Desperate.

00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.500
I mean, Brian, leave it to you to choose the

00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:21.419
cover song, right? Even back in 1990. I'll be

00:14:21.419 --> 00:14:26.240
perfectly honest, though. In 1991, I had no idea

00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.840
it was a cover song. It wasn't until about two

00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.860
or three years later when my buddy gave me Babylon

00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:34.940
A .D. on cassette. And he goes, you got to check

00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:36.940
these guys out. And I started because I knew

00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:39.899
the one single they had. And I listened to the

00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:42.240
whole tape and I went, wait a minute. What the

00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:43.840
hell are they doing desperate for? And I would

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.820
open up the J cards and realized the song that

00:14:46.820 --> 00:14:49.100
I had liked already for a few years was a cover.

00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.309
So I guess it was already in my DNA. You didn't

00:14:52.309 --> 00:14:54.889
know just the 30 seconds of The Kid Goes Wild

00:14:54.889 --> 00:14:57.190
from RoboCop 2? Well, there you go. From the

00:14:57.190 --> 00:15:01.250
arcade? Come on, man. Come on. Well, you know,

00:15:01.309 --> 00:15:05.330
I got to say, you're saying covers. We're getting

00:15:05.330 --> 00:15:08.509
in the cover zone. And I kind of, I think I'm

00:15:08.509 --> 00:15:11.710
going to steal a band from you. Uh -oh. Because

00:15:11.710 --> 00:15:16.149
for me, I spent 11 years of my life playing covers

00:15:16.149 --> 00:15:19.409
of this band. The band, of course, being Bon

00:15:19.409 --> 00:15:23.769
Jovi. And you cannot have a power ballad mixtape

00:15:23.769 --> 00:15:27.529
without some Bon Jovi. Am I right? Of course.

00:15:27.769 --> 00:15:30.309
Yes. I mean, come on. You and I are from New

00:15:30.309 --> 00:15:33.210
Jersey. I spent, like I said, 11 years of my

00:15:33.210 --> 00:15:35.450
life playing these songs. You'd think I'd never

00:15:35.450 --> 00:15:37.009
want to hear them again. But let me tell you

00:15:37.009 --> 00:15:39.190
something, man. I'm going to make a power ballad

00:15:39.190 --> 00:15:42.210
mixtape. The choices from Bon Jovi are crazy.

00:15:42.330 --> 00:15:45.129
Like, how many power ballads do they have? For

00:15:45.129 --> 00:15:46.970
a while there, they were almost the power ballad

00:15:46.970 --> 00:15:49.710
band. But when I think of them... I think, I

00:15:49.710 --> 00:15:52.190
swear to God, I already screwed up the lyric.

00:15:52.230 --> 00:15:55.549
But anyway, I'm going to go with Bon Jovi's I'll

00:15:55.549 --> 00:15:59.009
Be There For You from the 1989 New Jersey album.

00:15:59.330 --> 00:16:04.049
It's a perfect power ballad. I could not agree

00:16:04.049 --> 00:16:08.029
more. It is my favorite Bon Jovi power ballad.

00:16:08.049 --> 00:16:11.210
It was on my list. The other song I had from

00:16:11.210 --> 00:16:13.490
them that was hovering in my list was obviously

00:16:13.490 --> 00:16:16.929
their biggest hit song ever, which was always...

00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:20.700
But if I'm being honest with myself, I'll Be

00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:25.320
There For You is just a better song. I love the

00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.519
minor chord progression in the opening. It just

00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.639
feels a little bit more bluesy, and it brings

00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:33.980
a little bit more of what Richie Sambora brings

00:16:33.980 --> 00:16:37.539
to the band, to that song, where Always was more

00:16:37.539 --> 00:16:41.779
of just your straight -up Jon Bon Jovi pop -style

00:16:41.779 --> 00:16:44.340
ballad. I feel like I'll Be There For You brings

00:16:44.340 --> 00:16:47.080
a little bit more Richie into the fold here.

00:16:47.529 --> 00:16:49.889
It's also from New Jersey, which is arguably

00:16:49.889 --> 00:16:52.610
their best album. Yeah, I would have to agree

00:16:52.610 --> 00:16:55.570
with that. But now coming out of that, you can

00:16:55.570 --> 00:16:59.169
go a lot of different directions. And I think

00:16:59.169 --> 00:17:01.070
I'm going to go with something that is another

00:17:01.070 --> 00:17:06.130
band that was massive in the 80s. They were massive

00:17:06.130 --> 00:17:09.230
in the 90s. They were massive in the 2000s. They

00:17:09.230 --> 00:17:12.289
were massive in the 2010s. They're massive now

00:17:12.289 --> 00:17:17.119
in the 2020s. And they were massive in the 1970s.

00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:20.799
So this is a band that's had 50 years of longevity.

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:25.220
But this was the time in their career where they

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:28.500
stripped off the makeup. And I'm talking about

00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:31.700
Kiss. And I'm going to bring Michael Bolton into

00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:34.700
the fold here because you can't have a power

00:17:34.700 --> 00:17:36.839
ballad playlist without talking about Michael

00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:39.740
Bolton. I have two Kiss songs in my bank right

00:17:39.740 --> 00:17:43.210
now. I kind of was debating I Still Love You

00:17:43.210 --> 00:17:46.509
from 1982's Creatures in the Night, but I feel

00:17:46.509 --> 00:17:50.650
like when you're talking power ballads, you have

00:17:50.650 --> 00:17:53.910
to go with 1989's Hot in the Shade, and you have

00:17:53.910 --> 00:17:59.529
to go with Forever. It's forever. I love that

00:17:59.529 --> 00:18:02.990
song. What a choice. I mean, let's be honest.

00:18:03.230 --> 00:18:06.289
I think that is one of Paul Stanley's best ever

00:18:06.289 --> 00:18:08.690
vocal performances. Oh my God, yes. It is absolutely

00:18:08.690 --> 00:18:13.599
fantastic. Absolutely. My God. And you know,

00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:15.240
a lot of people, and I know a lot of KISS fans

00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.220
right now are probably like, I know, I know.

00:18:18.259 --> 00:18:21.599
He just mentioned Hot in the Shade. Well, folks,

00:18:21.619 --> 00:18:24.259
yes, he did. He just mentioned Hot in the Shade,

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:27.519
but he also mentioned Forever, a great song.

00:18:27.700 --> 00:18:29.839
And if you don't like Forever, you're just not

00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:31.400
a fan of music. No, I'm not going to be that

00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:34.700
guy. I'm just kidding. But seriously, I understand

00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:39.240
in the KISS. lexicon where this album would be

00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:42.319
an outlier where especially this song being an

00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:47.799
outlier however in this mixtape of power ballads

00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.140
it's a perfect fit especially coming out of Bon

00:18:51.140 --> 00:18:54.859
Jovi because those are two songs where everybody

00:18:54.859 --> 00:18:57.819
knows word for word because the first two songs

00:18:57.819 --> 00:19:01.319
we did let's just be honest here Giant and Baton

00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:04.359
Rouge are not household names. Right. So you

00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:06.299
and I looked like we were being the music snobs.

00:19:06.339 --> 00:19:08.579
So what I was trying to do is counterbalance

00:19:08.579 --> 00:19:11.640
that with two songs where everybody knows. So

00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.039
that way it's not just a whole 90 minutes of

00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.700
you and I rattling off bands where everybody's

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:20.740
going, who? Because at the end of the day, power

00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:23.559
ballads are the ones that everybody in the room

00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.519
knows. Yes. So. Absolutely. And then you say

00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:29.740
forever. And I think forever. And there's a song

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:32.960
from that era that is always kind of reminded

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.819
me of forever, but it's, I'm going to say this.

00:19:36.819 --> 00:19:39.759
And I know like kiss fans that hate hot in the

00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:41.940
shade are going to hate me for saying this anyway,

00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:44.019
but like, but this song I'm thinking of, I like

00:19:44.019 --> 00:19:46.640
it. I love it. It's actually one of my top, like

00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:49.960
favorite power ballads ever. And it kind of has

00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:52.819
the same flow. So like if I'm coming out of forever

00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:56.650
by kiss, I kind of want to. Keep it at that same

00:19:56.650 --> 00:19:59.009
vibe. You know what I'm saying, Brian? And I

00:19:59.009 --> 00:20:01.569
want to go with another band. I think they're

00:20:01.569 --> 00:20:05.509
still around today. Big in the 70s. Huge in the

00:20:05.509 --> 00:20:11.269
70s. But their big 80s power ballad is The Flame

00:20:11.269 --> 00:20:14.750
by Cheap Trick. One of my favorite songs ever.

00:20:14.890 --> 00:20:17.289
I think I might have stolen this from you just

00:20:17.289 --> 00:20:20.250
judging by the reaction on your face. Of course

00:20:20.250 --> 00:20:26.420
you did, man. This song was 1988. lap of luxury

00:20:26.420 --> 00:20:29.420
i mean i know they did the don't be cruel cover

00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:33.420
on the same album which i had the 45 of and when

00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:37.480
this song came out you could not put on any new

00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:42.559
york radio station z100 95 .5 even the classic

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.759
rock station at the time which was 92 .3 was

00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:51.279
classic rock 1027 they all played it. This song

00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:55.059
crossed rock radio, pop radio, and every, you

00:20:55.059 --> 00:20:57.099
couldn't escape it. You could not escape it.

00:20:57.339 --> 00:21:01.359
And it is an amazing song. So now coming out

00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:04.079
of that, I want to kind of do something that

00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:06.220
might be considered a little bit of a deeper

00:21:06.220 --> 00:21:10.000
cut. It's not an artist that people will automatically

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.170
think of when you think power ballads. I want

00:21:14.170 --> 00:21:16.250
to bring a female into the list now because we

00:21:16.250 --> 00:21:19.150
had some great female power ballads. But this

00:21:19.150 --> 00:21:21.730
is not the one that everybody's going to go to.

00:21:22.569 --> 00:21:26.109
It was a hit song, and Desmond Child wrote it,

00:21:26.130 --> 00:21:29.490
so you know damn well when Desmond Child had

00:21:29.490 --> 00:21:32.190
his name on something in the 80s. It had a key

00:21:32.190 --> 00:21:35.269
change at the end for the chorus? It most certainly

00:21:35.269 --> 00:21:39.930
did. Okay. And I am going to go off of 1988's

00:21:39.930 --> 00:21:42.450
Up Your Alley, and I'm going to go with Joan

00:21:42.450 --> 00:21:49.150
Jett. Little Liar. It was a hit, but it's not

00:21:49.150 --> 00:21:51.109
like she doesn't play. I'm not holding my nose

00:21:51.109 --> 00:21:53.569
saying ooh. No, she doesn't even play it in concert

00:21:53.569 --> 00:21:56.430
anymore, but it's such an amazing. Her gruff

00:21:56.430 --> 00:22:00.369
voice was so powerful against that Desmond Giles

00:22:00.369 --> 00:22:04.089
backdrop. It almost on paper doesn't sound like

00:22:04.089 --> 00:22:07.049
it's going to work. This song, even when I was

00:22:07.049 --> 00:22:11.230
a kid, I liked that song more than I Hate Myself

00:22:11.230 --> 00:22:13.069
for Loving You, which was the massive hit from

00:22:13.069 --> 00:22:18.589
the album. Dude, I'm finding myself in a place

00:22:18.589 --> 00:22:24.089
here where I don't know how I'm going to follow

00:22:24.089 --> 00:22:31.109
this. So I'm thinking, while we're on great female

00:22:31.109 --> 00:22:33.950
vocalists, why don't we stay there for a bit?

00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:40.240
And I'm thinking, not rock, not hard rock, not

00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:44.839
quite pop pop, but pop. And this is a band that

00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.660
got their name from a Star Trek character. And

00:22:48.660 --> 00:22:53.319
I'm talking about T 'Pau's Heart and Soul. Wow.

00:22:54.420 --> 00:23:01.289
Oh, my God. I friggin' love it. That is such

00:23:01.289 --> 00:23:05.410
a perfect pop song to fit in this category because

00:23:05.410 --> 00:23:08.549
that is not one that would make you automatically

00:23:08.549 --> 00:23:11.950
think lighter in the air power ballad. But when

00:23:11.950 --> 00:23:15.869
you get to that chorus, it's got all the workings

00:23:15.869 --> 00:23:20.410
of a perfect power ballad. It's got a little

00:23:20.410 --> 00:23:23.369
bit of that beat where it's, I'll tell you, I'll

00:23:23.369 --> 00:23:26.109
use the word, the song, the verses of that song

00:23:26.109 --> 00:23:30.630
are sexy. And I'm talking specifically about

00:23:30.630 --> 00:23:33.470
the vocal delivery during the verse here. But

00:23:33.470 --> 00:23:36.029
then you've got that chorus, which is big and

00:23:36.029 --> 00:23:38.369
bombastic. Because you've got to think about

00:23:38.369 --> 00:23:40.589
the way they're singing those verses in kind

00:23:40.589 --> 00:23:43.890
of the deeper octave. It's got a sexy vibe to

00:23:43.890 --> 00:23:46.309
it. But then when you hit the chorus, there's

00:23:46.309 --> 00:23:53.500
your power ballad. I will accept money now. Well,

00:23:53.579 --> 00:23:56.380
I am going to stay with where we are going on

00:23:56.380 --> 00:23:58.880
this. Cool, I'm liking this. We talk about this

00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.240
on this show all the time. We have our bank of

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:04.240
songs. We're not just sitting here picking our

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:06.960
one, two, three, four, five. We're making this

00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:09.420
up as we go along. And now that you mentioned

00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:12.460
T 'Pau, there's only one song that you can follow

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:14.599
it up with. And this is going to make it a trifecta

00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.039
of female singers. I think I know what it is.

00:24:17.220 --> 00:24:22.910
It's pop, but it rocks. I am shocked. Shocked,

00:24:22.910 --> 00:24:26.730
shocked that to this day, Eminem is the only

00:24:26.730 --> 00:24:28.849
person that's tried to cover the song for hip

00:24:28.849 --> 00:24:31.970
hop. No rock band has ever turned this into a

00:24:31.970 --> 00:24:35.450
modern hard rock song because it would be a perfect

00:24:35.450 --> 00:24:38.750
song for Hailstorm, a perfect song for The Pretty

00:24:38.750 --> 00:24:41.970
Reckless, a perfect song for Eva Under Fire.

00:24:42.150 --> 00:24:46.609
And I am going with 1989, the artist Martika

00:24:46.609 --> 00:24:53.259
and the song Toy Soldiers. What a choice. It

00:24:53.259 --> 00:24:57.859
seems like I stole the flame from you, and you

00:24:57.859 --> 00:25:01.420
stole Martika from me. Brian, I just want you

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:03.900
to know, it wasn't my intention to mislead you.

00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:07.119
I just didn't know how long you'd stay. What

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:15.440
could I say? I just didn't see that coming. How

00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.559
could I be so blind to music addiction? If we

00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:23.569
don't stop. I just might have to pee. And the

00:25:23.569 --> 00:25:28.049
next one will be me at that point. Well, wow.

00:25:28.230 --> 00:25:31.670
The floor is yours now. Oh my God. So we've got

00:25:31.670 --> 00:25:35.369
big, we've got bombastic. I'm going to keep it

00:25:35.369 --> 00:25:40.349
in this almost theatrical realm. And I'm going

00:25:40.349 --> 00:25:44.289
to go with something more. The band was kind

00:25:44.289 --> 00:25:46.490
of straight up metal for like their first few

00:25:46.490 --> 00:25:49.890
albums. And then their lead singer keyboard player

00:25:49.890 --> 00:25:52.769
saw Phantom of the Opera, and he told his co

00:25:52.769 --> 00:25:55.509
-writer Paul O 'Neill, I kind of want to go into

00:25:55.509 --> 00:25:59.690
the more theatrical realm of things. And I believe

00:25:59.690 --> 00:26:03.769
the album came out in 1988. And same theatrical

00:26:03.769 --> 00:26:07.650
big hugeness, but starts off little piano with

00:26:07.650 --> 00:26:10.569
the minor seconds, bing, bing, almost like Days

00:26:10.569 --> 00:26:14.450
of Our Lives -ish. And from the 1988 album Gutter

00:26:14.450 --> 00:26:17.609
Ballet. I'm going to go with When the Crowds

00:26:17.609 --> 00:26:22.670
Are Gone by Savatage. Wow. I love it. Now, Sean,

00:26:22.890 --> 00:26:27.089
we have a history with Savatage, me and you,

00:26:27.210 --> 00:26:30.509
because our bands played together in the late

00:26:30.509 --> 00:26:33.670
90s, early 2000s all the time, and you guys covered

00:26:33.670 --> 00:26:38.529
Believe. I had that in my bank of songs because

00:26:38.529 --> 00:26:41.990
I absolutely love that song. It's a little bit

00:26:41.990 --> 00:26:44.990
more of a theatrical tune than a power ballad.

00:26:45.529 --> 00:26:48.869
But I will say, you know, when I talk about cover

00:26:48.869 --> 00:26:51.609
songs, that is one that I have hoped for years

00:26:51.609 --> 00:26:54.609
that you would record a version of because I

00:26:54.609 --> 00:26:57.490
always loved watching Money for the Toll play

00:26:57.490 --> 00:27:00.190
that song. I think you guys did just an unbelievable

00:27:00.190 --> 00:27:03.390
job of it. I absolutely love hearing you sing

00:27:03.390 --> 00:27:07.309
it. I love the original. But what a pick on this

00:27:07.309 --> 00:27:10.650
one. I love where you went with this. I feel

00:27:10.650 --> 00:27:12.609
it begins the trilogy because you've got when

00:27:12.609 --> 00:27:15.279
the crowds are gone and then you've got. Part

00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.519
of the course of that ends up in Believe, and

00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:19.940
then you get part of Believe ending up in Alone

00:27:19.940 --> 00:27:22.460
You Breathe, which also brings in some of When

00:27:22.460 --> 00:27:24.720
the Crowds Are Gone. So there's this nice trifecta

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:28.099
that Sabotage did over the course of six years

00:27:28.099 --> 00:27:31.799
that this is the one that started it all. Well,

00:27:31.940 --> 00:27:36.460
I have to end this very interesting side of power

00:27:36.460 --> 00:27:39.519
ballads here. And I want to go with something

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:41.859
where Sabotage is a little bit of a deeper cut.

00:27:42.190 --> 00:27:44.690
Let's just be honest. They were. Oh, absolutely.

00:27:44.890 --> 00:27:48.869
Metal fans, 1480 Z rock fans will know this song.

00:27:49.230 --> 00:27:54.990
However, this was not a mainstream MTV hit. So

00:27:54.990 --> 00:27:57.890
what I want to do is end a side with one of those,

00:27:58.009 --> 00:28:00.930
one that everybody knows. And I'll be honest

00:28:00.930 --> 00:28:04.670
with you. This song could very well be in my

00:28:04.670 --> 00:28:08.670
top 10 favorite songs of all time. It is a super

00:28:08.670 --> 00:28:13.579
group. They only had two albums. The first album,

00:28:13.779 --> 00:28:16.339
I will never forget getting it on Christmas morning

00:28:16.339 --> 00:28:19.599
in 1990, along with Black Crow's Shake Your Money

00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:21.759
Maker. My parents got me those two cassettes.

00:28:22.180 --> 00:28:24.500
I didn't get to Shake Your Money Maker until

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:26.519
New Year's Eve because this tape did not come

00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.680
out of my cassette deck. And that was 1990s damn

00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:34.700
Yankees. And I'm going with the gorgeous power

00:28:34.700 --> 00:28:38.099
ballad. Some of the most beautiful harmonies

00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:41.710
ever. High enough. That guitar solo is perfect,

00:28:41.809 --> 00:28:44.329
too. That's the nicest thing I'll ever say about

00:28:44.329 --> 00:28:47.490
that. I almost called him a gentleman. But that's

00:28:47.490 --> 00:28:49.329
the nicest thing I'll say about that, guys. Everything

00:28:49.329 --> 00:28:53.329
about that guitar solo, the harmonies, as you

00:28:53.329 --> 00:28:56.430
mentioned, just, man. Every time I hear that

00:28:56.430 --> 00:28:58.109
song, it just brings me back to the innocence

00:28:58.109 --> 00:29:02.650
of youth. And just, like, you know, like, you

00:29:02.650 --> 00:29:05.069
study music, and things sound different after

00:29:05.069 --> 00:29:06.430
a while. But, like, that's one of those songs

00:29:06.430 --> 00:29:08.589
to me that's just... It's never changed the way

00:29:08.589 --> 00:29:10.589
it sounds to me because it's just perfection.

00:29:10.930 --> 00:29:14.049
What a choice, sir. It's timeless. Absolutely

00:29:14.049 --> 00:29:17.250
timeless song. And that, mixtapers, concludes

00:29:17.250 --> 00:29:21.609
side A of our Power Ballads mixtape, which consists

00:29:21.609 --> 00:29:25.670
of Giant, I'll See You In My Dreams, Baton Rouge,

00:29:26.089 --> 00:29:30.089
Desperate, Bon Jovi, I'll Be There For You, Kiss,

00:29:30.250 --> 00:29:34.990
Forever, Cheap Trick, The Flame, Joan Jett. Little

00:29:34.990 --> 00:29:39.869
Liar, T 'Pau, Heart and Soul, Martika, Toy Soldiers,

00:29:40.089 --> 00:29:43.630
Sabotage, When the Crowds are Gone, and Damn

00:29:43.630 --> 00:29:48.470
Yankees High Enough. Now, I'm doing some math

00:29:48.470 --> 00:29:52.109
here. And this is a TDK 90 -minute cassette.

00:29:52.410 --> 00:29:56.309
Oh, of course. So 45 minutes. And I see we've

00:29:56.309 --> 00:29:59.549
got about... A minute and 12 seconds left, so

00:29:59.549 --> 00:30:02.309
I would like to interject. I'd like to fill in

00:30:02.309 --> 00:30:04.009
this space, because I've never heard you talk

00:30:04.009 --> 00:30:08.390
about this on this show, but my go -to sometimes

00:30:08.390 --> 00:30:11.970
was, if it was about a minute, it's always Waiting

00:30:11.970 --> 00:30:15.769
for 22 from Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche.

00:30:16.049 --> 00:30:18.430
Nice. But earlier today, Brian, I'm listening

00:30:18.430 --> 00:30:21.670
to There Can Only Be One podcast, and you mentioned

00:30:21.670 --> 00:30:24.640
the whole thing about... filling up the side

00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:29.519
with stuff by sod what the hell man the first

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:31.799
time you mentioned talking about this isn't even

00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:36.299
on your show i'll be honest with you there are

00:30:36.299 --> 00:30:38.759
girlfriends i am sure ex -girlfriends of mine

00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:42.279
from high school who have Love song mixtapes

00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:45.339
from me that include Hey Gordy, Diamonds and

00:30:45.339 --> 00:30:48.619
Rust, The Ballad of Jimi Hendrix, and then The

00:30:48.619 --> 00:30:52.019
Descendants All and All Know All. And my door

00:30:52.019 --> 00:30:54.299
just opened and my wife just shot me a look.

00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:58.619
Thankfully, by the time we were dating, I had

00:30:58.619 --> 00:31:00.700
mixed CDs, so I didn't have to put those on the

00:31:00.700 --> 00:31:02.240
end because I probably wouldn't be married right

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:06.650
now. Oh, you put them in the middle. Well, Sean,

00:31:06.750 --> 00:31:09.269
the songs that are actually on this mixtape,

00:31:09.269 --> 00:31:12.230
for the mixtapers listening, head over to MyWeeklyMixtape

00:31:12.230 --> 00:31:14.549
.com to hear all the songs we've discussed in

00:31:14.549 --> 00:31:17.650
this mix through the playlist embedded on the

00:31:17.650 --> 00:31:20.250
episode page. Now, Sean, before we flip over

00:31:20.250 --> 00:31:22.809
and start Side B, I'd like to talk about some

00:31:22.809 --> 00:31:25.509
of your music for a while because you've recently

00:31:25.509 --> 00:31:29.190
released a brand new live EP called Live Volume

00:31:29.190 --> 00:31:35.150
4, 50 -50. 9 -18 -22. And you took what I consider

00:31:35.150 --> 00:31:37.789
to be a very unique approach to this live release.

00:31:38.109 --> 00:31:40.029
Can you tell the listeners a little bit about

00:31:40.029 --> 00:31:41.829
it, please? Oh, of course, because if there's

00:31:41.829 --> 00:31:46.930
one thing I love talking about, it's me. But

00:31:46.930 --> 00:31:50.750
seriously, folks, you can't drown a fish. I kind

00:31:50.750 --> 00:31:53.650
of got the idea of doing this from the mix from

00:31:53.650 --> 00:31:57.529
live volume two that John Mosco of 60 Miles Down

00:31:57.529 --> 00:32:00.819
did for me. He had added some harmonies on New

00:32:00.819 --> 00:32:03.500
Love Song. And I was like, wow, that's pretty

00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:06.079
cool. I didn't do that. He had added that in

00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:08.500
the mix and it sounded great. So I was like,

00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:11.359
oh, one of these days I'd like to do something

00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:12.980
different like that. And it was always in the

00:32:12.980 --> 00:32:15.559
back of my mind. And then when I was recording

00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:18.099
this set for Laszlo for a blow -up radio performance,

00:32:18.380 --> 00:32:20.640
I opened up with Settle In, which you can't do

00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:22.819
solo. You need that second guitar part playing

00:32:22.819 --> 00:32:24.579
that melody. And I was like, I'm going to do

00:32:24.579 --> 00:32:27.630
this. I'm going to cut these songs. So I played

00:32:27.630 --> 00:32:31.069
my full set, about a half hour, but I extended

00:32:31.069 --> 00:32:34.170
little sections. So I could just, a week later,

00:32:34.329 --> 00:32:37.670
plug my Strat in and just do some lead guitar

00:32:37.670 --> 00:32:40.730
over stuff. Or like for Settle In, you know,

00:32:40.730 --> 00:32:47.410
play the... Except in the right key. And I just

00:32:47.410 --> 00:32:48.829
thought it would be something different where

00:32:48.829 --> 00:32:51.029
it's kind of like, look, people like acoustic

00:32:51.029 --> 00:32:53.009
music, but nobody wants to hear somebody strumming

00:32:53.009 --> 00:32:55.490
every time they like... Put something on. So

00:32:55.490 --> 00:32:58.190
I wanted to just try something different and

00:32:58.190 --> 00:33:00.509
just send it out there to the ether. And so far,

00:33:00.569 --> 00:33:02.569
the response has been pretty good. So thanks

00:33:02.569 --> 00:33:04.750
for bringing that up, man. Oh, of course, dude.

00:33:04.809 --> 00:33:07.410
You mentioned one of your songs that, to be honest,

00:33:07.630 --> 00:33:10.369
whenever we do get a studio version of it, New

00:33:10.369 --> 00:33:13.089
Love Song would have been a perfect song to include

00:33:13.089 --> 00:33:16.450
in this mix. But for the sake of power ballads,

00:33:16.509 --> 00:33:19.089
I went to a song from one of your earlier EPs

00:33:19.089 --> 00:33:21.569
that, with your permission, I'd like to play

00:33:21.569 --> 00:33:25.490
a small clip from. Sure. This is a clip of Sean's

00:33:25.490 --> 00:33:53.000
track, Second Verse. to know what it's about

00:33:53.000 --> 00:34:02.180
this denim jacket says the name we're in this

00:34:02.180 --> 00:34:07.859
together and tonight we feel the same well it's

00:34:07.859 --> 00:34:13.840
a hard time it's getting right for you and it's

00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:38.960
such a sweet So, Sean, obviously you weren't

00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:41.780
going for a power ballad with this one, but I

00:34:41.780 --> 00:34:44.199
really love the story you're telling in the song.

00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:45.800
So why don't you tell people a little bit about

00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:50.329
this one? All right. Karma has gotten me back

00:34:50.329 --> 00:34:52.789
for this after these years and probably for writing

00:34:52.789 --> 00:34:55.849
that song. But as I had mentioned earlier, I

00:34:55.849 --> 00:34:58.510
was in a Bon Jovi tribute for 11 years. Slippery

00:34:58.510 --> 00:35:01.269
When Wet New Jersey. From New Jersey. Rocking

00:35:01.269 --> 00:35:02.869
for you wherever they're rocking for you. They

00:35:02.869 --> 00:35:05.190
got a website, jovitribute .com. Check it out.

00:35:05.210 --> 00:35:07.090
All kinds of stuff. When and where they're playing.

00:35:07.230 --> 00:35:09.369
I have to plug my boys. I love them to death.

00:35:09.869 --> 00:35:12.670
So we're playing a gig one night and we're just

00:35:12.670 --> 00:35:15.630
on fire. The crowd just kept feeding it to us.

00:35:15.650 --> 00:35:17.070
We kept feeding it to the crowd and it was just

00:35:17.070 --> 00:35:20.119
so good. So we have our openers and we're going

00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:21.840
through our openers. And like 20 minutes later,

00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:24.639
we stop our big opening. Cause it's like wild

00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:26.300
in the streets, bad medicine and out of love.

00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:29.139
Raise your hands. Bam. Done. So we start, it's

00:35:29.139 --> 00:35:31.579
my life. And it's just, we're going great. We're

00:35:31.579 --> 00:35:34.420
going great. And the singer is like, just, he's

00:35:34.420 --> 00:35:36.760
into it. He's like, this is for ones who stood

00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:43.920
their ground. And we were just like, Oh no. Oh

00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:48.260
no. I mean, thankfully. He picked it right back

00:35:48.260 --> 00:35:51.159
up, but it was like he started with the second

00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:54.480
verse. And just a lot of what that song is, is

00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:57.820
just stuff like that was about being in Slippery

00:35:57.820 --> 00:35:59.619
Room. Like that whole thing, like it's a hard

00:35:59.619 --> 00:36:02.000
time getting it right for you. And, you know,

00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:03.440
Mike would always say at the end of the night,

00:36:03.500 --> 00:36:04.820
you know, if we would you never say goodbye,

00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.360
he'd always say like, hey, man, you know, you're

00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:09.360
what makes it happen. And we never want to say

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:12.340
goodbye. So I had to incorporate that into the

00:36:12.340 --> 00:36:15.969
song and just. That song to me, you say power

00:36:15.969 --> 00:36:18.730
ballad, and for me, and it took years for somebody

00:36:18.730 --> 00:36:22.489
to point it out, but it's got a night shift vibe

00:36:22.489 --> 00:36:25.670
to the chorus. Gonna be some sweet sounds. A

00:36:25.670 --> 00:36:28.809
little bit, a little bit, yeah, yeah. But yeah,

00:36:28.989 --> 00:36:31.750
I mean, I'm always going to have that part of

00:36:31.750 --> 00:36:34.210
my life. It's always going to find its way into

00:36:34.210 --> 00:36:38.170
a song somehow. Awesome, awesome. Well, now we

00:36:38.170 --> 00:36:41.309
have flipped over our power ballads mixtape,

00:36:41.329 --> 00:36:45.079
and we are going to start on side B This side,

00:36:45.179 --> 00:36:47.699
I get to kick things off, and I'm going to go

00:36:47.699 --> 00:36:50.420
with another one of my personal favorite power

00:36:50.420 --> 00:36:54.840
ballads from one of my favorite bands of the

00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:59.900
80s, hands down. This is a band that was unfairly

00:36:59.900 --> 00:37:04.400
lumped into the hair band scene. However, when

00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.719
you look at the cover of their 1986 album Night

00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:11.079
Songs, that would be Cinderella, you can kind

00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:14.420
of understand. why they were lumped into hair

00:37:14.420 --> 00:37:17.679
bands. But Cinderella was never a hair band.

00:37:18.019 --> 00:37:21.940
They were always a bluesy, southern, hard rock,

00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.980
Rolling Stones with a little bit more oomph,

00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:28.980
Aerosmith, ACDC type group. And they put out

00:37:28.980 --> 00:37:30.739
a ton of great ballads when you think of stuff

00:37:30.739 --> 00:37:34.460
like Nobody's Fool and Don't Know What You Got

00:37:34.460 --> 00:37:37.420
Till It's Gone. The second one there being a

00:37:37.420 --> 00:37:40.480
massive, massive hit. But no ballad they ever

00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:44.750
did touched my heart. As much as the title track

00:37:44.750 --> 00:37:49.349
to 1990s Heartbreak Station. An absolutely beautiful

00:37:49.349 --> 00:37:54.469
composition. Amazing guitar work. One of my favorite

00:37:54.469 --> 00:37:57.170
acoustic guitar riffs to play. But then you've

00:37:57.170 --> 00:37:59.769
got the middle section where Tom Kiefer just

00:37:59.769 --> 00:38:03.630
opens up to his signature growl. Singing over

00:38:03.630 --> 00:38:05.969
this bridge leading right into the solo. It's

00:38:05.969 --> 00:38:09.110
just a perfect power ballad. I know it's not

00:38:09.110 --> 00:38:12.949
their biggest hit. But how in the hell was Heartbreak

00:38:12.949 --> 00:38:16.670
Station not their biggest album? Because to me,

00:38:16.690 --> 00:38:19.889
it's easily my favorite. Musically, there's not

00:38:19.889 --> 00:38:22.449
a dud on it. Not that they had many duds across

00:38:22.449 --> 00:38:25.170
any of their albums. But to me, it feels like

00:38:25.170 --> 00:38:27.510
the most perfect body of work they ever put out.

00:38:27.650 --> 00:38:30.570
And this song is kind of the centerpiece of that,

00:38:30.670 --> 00:38:32.869
obviously being the title track. So I'm starting

00:38:32.869 --> 00:38:35.869
off side B with Cinderella, Heartbreak Station.

00:38:36.329 --> 00:38:39.840
Well, before I go on to my... Next track. I got

00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:43.380
to say, I'm with you with that song. I'm with

00:38:43.380 --> 00:38:46.239
you with that band. That's also my favorite album

00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:49.000
from that band. And Tom Kiefer is just one of

00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:51.079
my all -time favorite musicians. The first time

00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:53.500
I saw Cinderella Live, I'm like, this guy just

00:38:53.500 --> 00:38:56.280
played everything but the drums. And he played

00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:59.900
everything proficiently. And what a unique voice.

00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.900
If you heard anybody else trying to sing like

00:39:02.900 --> 00:39:04.840
that, you'd be like, dude, get... the hell out

00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:07.239
of here. But for some reason, Tom Kiefer is like,

00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.980
that voice, only he can do that. There's no Cinderella

00:39:10.980 --> 00:39:13.739
tributes. Why? Show me somebody that can do that

00:39:13.739 --> 00:39:17.679
and be convincing doing it. He's unique. But

00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:22.300
you mentioned a band getting lumped in with the

00:39:22.300 --> 00:39:26.599
whole hair thing. My favorite. Not just of that

00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:29.519
era, but I'm going to go with one of my top 10

00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:32.519
favorite bands of all time. My first rock and

00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:36.269
roll concert. I will say. But I'm not going to

00:39:36.269 --> 00:39:42.590
go with Love Song by Tesla. I am not going to

00:39:42.590 --> 00:39:47.070
go with Love Song, which is fantastic. But, you

00:39:47.070 --> 00:39:50.190
know, power, right? And Love Song does have power,

00:39:50.329 --> 00:39:53.269
but it doesn't go by that definition of like

00:39:53.269 --> 00:39:57.469
start mellow and then bow, right? But What You

00:39:57.469 --> 00:40:01.829
Give from 1991's Psychotic Supper does exactly

00:40:01.829 --> 00:40:05.389
that. I think it's just as long as love song.

00:40:05.469 --> 00:40:07.489
So this is going to take up the right amount

00:40:07.489 --> 00:40:10.789
of space for us to have short, but sweet at the

00:40:10.789 --> 00:40:14.909
end of this cassette. Absolutely love that song,

00:40:15.030 --> 00:40:18.170
man. I'm so glad there is no other band. Can

00:40:18.170 --> 00:40:21.269
you imagine a Tesla Cinderella tour? How, how

00:40:21.269 --> 00:40:23.829
has that ever happened? I would be at every show.

00:40:23.869 --> 00:40:25.730
I saw Cinderella open up for poison. I'm like,

00:40:25.750 --> 00:40:27.650
that's awesome. Cause poison puts on a great

00:40:27.650 --> 00:40:31.090
show too. Yeah. I mean, Cinderella and Tesla

00:40:31.090 --> 00:40:34.510
together. I'd go to every show. How has that

00:40:34.510 --> 00:40:37.449
never been a thing? I don't know. Maybe they

00:40:37.449 --> 00:40:39.210
don't get along, and that's sad if that's the

00:40:39.210 --> 00:40:42.710
fact. But, I mean, Tom, Brian, guys, get together.

00:40:42.849 --> 00:40:46.210
Make this happen. I would be front row center

00:40:46.210 --> 00:40:47.349
for that one. Oh, not you, Brian. I'm sorry.

00:40:47.469 --> 00:40:50.809
Brian Wheat. Sorry. Oh, well, you know. If I

00:40:50.809 --> 00:40:52.570
could do something about it, I certainly will.

00:40:52.750 --> 00:40:56.630
Make it so. All right. You mentioned Poison.

00:40:56.630 --> 00:40:59.670
Let's just go to Poison now. Oh, okay. Poison.

00:40:59.670 --> 00:41:03.059
Poison. Power ballads. I mean, I've seen Cinderella

00:41:03.059 --> 00:41:05.320
and poison several times on tour together. I

00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:08.159
saw cheap trick and poison together. And there's

00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:11.159
always one song that poison does that moves me

00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:15.019
to tears in every show. And it actually isn't

00:41:15.019 --> 00:41:17.119
every rose has its thorn. I know that's the one

00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:21.079
that everybody's thinking of, but 1990s flesh

00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:24.239
and blood is my favorite poison album. I actually

00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:28.000
went on records or visited to do an episode about

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.889
this album. I think it is the. band's finest

00:41:30.889 --> 00:41:34.170
hour, including as much as I love Native Tongue

00:41:34.170 --> 00:41:37.250
with Richie Cotsen. I feel like Flesh and Blood

00:41:37.250 --> 00:41:40.010
gets the edge because CeCe's in that kind of

00:41:40.010 --> 00:41:43.389
transition. And CeCe is more of a part of Poison's

00:41:43.389 --> 00:41:48.289
history than Richie was. And the song Something

00:41:48.289 --> 00:41:52.510
to Believe In just tugs at my heartstrings. My

00:41:52.510 --> 00:41:56.050
father is a Vietnam veteran. This was a song

00:41:56.050 --> 00:41:58.250
that the first time he saw the video, he said,

00:41:58.750 --> 00:42:00.849
I'm not a big fan of a lot of the music you listen

00:42:00.849 --> 00:42:04.170
to, but this song is effing perfect. And this

00:42:04.170 --> 00:42:06.010
was one that when I would make him mix tapes

00:42:06.010 --> 00:42:08.889
of stuff to listen to when he'd be out working,

00:42:09.030 --> 00:42:11.570
I would always include like the songs he wants

00:42:11.570 --> 00:42:14.650
and then stuff that I knew that he liked of mine.

00:42:14.789 --> 00:42:17.130
And this was one that I always put on there.

00:42:17.269 --> 00:42:19.550
He still loves it to this day. Last time I saw

00:42:19.550 --> 00:42:22.429
Poison with Cheap Trick in, I want to say it

00:42:22.429 --> 00:42:25.699
was 2018. They did this song. I recorded the

00:42:25.699 --> 00:42:27.659
whole thing for my father and Brett Michaels

00:42:27.659 --> 00:42:30.440
had brought out a bunch of veterans onto the

00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:33.119
stage. Oh, the man. That's awesome. And it was

00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:36.360
just like, I'm getting literally the hair on

00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:38.420
my arms are standing up just telling this story.

00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:40.699
And I showed it to my father the next day and

00:42:40.699 --> 00:42:44.900
he said, just unbelievable. And this song doesn't

00:42:44.900 --> 00:42:47.320
really tug at your heartstrings like a love song.

00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:50.440
But nowhere in that Oxford definition did it

00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:52.639
say the lyrics had to be about love. And Something

00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:56.139
to Believe In is about losing somebody important

00:42:56.139 --> 00:43:01.139
to you and kind of dealing with that. And it's

00:43:01.139 --> 00:43:04.340
a beautiful, heartbreaking song. And you know

00:43:04.340 --> 00:43:06.940
what? It shows that Poison was much more than

00:43:06.940 --> 00:43:10.099
the glammy party band that everybody took them

00:43:10.099 --> 00:43:13.880
to be. This song was a mature, well -thought

00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:17.099
-out, beautiful composition. So Poison, Something

00:43:17.099 --> 00:43:19.960
to Believe In. Another thing that song is, is

00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:22.940
one that you stole from me. Oh, really? You had

00:43:22.940 --> 00:43:25.539
that too? Oh, yeah, absolutely. That's my favorite

00:43:25.539 --> 00:43:28.599
Poison tune. I used to perform that live when

00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:31.719
I was doing an acoustic duo with Ronnie, who

00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:35.519
was currently now the bass player in Bonfire.

00:43:35.860 --> 00:43:38.199
So he was in Slippery When Wet. We did an acoustic

00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:40.679
duo. Now he's out touring Europe with Bonfire.

00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:44.239
And since I'm going to mention Ronnie, I'm going

00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:46.929
to go a little deep. For my next choice. Because

00:43:46.929 --> 00:43:51.110
this is a CD I got when I was in like a mall

00:43:51.110 --> 00:43:54.030
rat hanging out at the Garden State Plaza. Back,

00:43:54.070 --> 00:43:55.949
you know, like everybody wearing denim jackets

00:43:55.949 --> 00:43:58.550
with patches on them, smoking cigarettes by the

00:43:58.550 --> 00:44:01.570
food court, which is not really there anymore.

00:44:01.650 --> 00:44:05.630
But this band Cleavage, everybody was handing

00:44:05.630 --> 00:44:09.750
out their CDs and stuff like that. And the song

00:44:09.750 --> 00:44:12.570
is available still to this day, but... The first

00:44:12.570 --> 00:44:15.050
song I ever heard from Cleavage was on what they

00:44:15.050 --> 00:44:18.570
called The Demo, and it's not Goodbye Forever.

00:44:19.090 --> 00:44:22.469
Awesome ballad. It's out there. It's been re

00:44:22.469 --> 00:44:25.710
-released, I think, in 2013, the album was re

00:44:25.710 --> 00:44:29.369
-released. But Ronnie was the guitar player of

00:44:29.369 --> 00:44:32.690
said band, and the bass player of said band is

00:44:32.690 --> 00:44:36.030
none other than Mike, the singer from Slippery

00:44:36.030 --> 00:44:38.829
When Wet, who I had mentioned earlier, talking

00:44:38.829 --> 00:44:41.510
about my song's second verse, and just... Talking

00:44:41.510 --> 00:44:43.170
about Bon Jovi, when I think about Bon Jovi,

00:44:43.210 --> 00:44:45.670
I think about Mike and Ronnie a lot. And It's

00:44:45.670 --> 00:44:48.050
Not Goodbye Forever is just that perfect power

00:44:48.050 --> 00:44:50.590
ballad. And those guys were like right there,

00:44:50.690 --> 00:44:53.550
man. And everybody in this North Jersey area

00:44:53.550 --> 00:44:56.250
definitely knew the Cleavage album. So that's

00:44:56.250 --> 00:45:00.349
my next choice. Wow. You've got me set up here

00:45:00.349 --> 00:45:04.190
to go really deep as well. And I think I'm going

00:45:04.190 --> 00:45:06.150
to take that. This is where I think you and I

00:45:06.150 --> 00:45:08.789
are going to lose a lot of the outside of New

00:45:08.789 --> 00:45:12.719
Jersey listeners. But there was a band that one

00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:15.340
of my friends growing up, his cousin was in this

00:45:15.340 --> 00:45:18.800
group. And this group was set to do some very,

00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:22.260
very big things. And their lead singer was a

00:45:22.260 --> 00:45:25.800
guy, Tommy Lee, not the Tommy Lee from Motley

00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:29.340
Crue. But they were a band called Sitting Pretty.

00:45:29.940 --> 00:45:33.519
And they were getting very, very popular in the

00:45:33.519 --> 00:45:36.389
New Jersey, New York, Brooklyn. metal scene.

00:45:36.530 --> 00:45:39.389
And unfortunately, the lead singer died in a

00:45:39.389 --> 00:45:41.570
car accident, but they had a power ballad on

00:45:41.570 --> 00:45:46.670
their album called China Died that was so perfect

00:45:46.670 --> 00:45:50.409
for the New Jersey hard rock metal scene. This

00:45:50.409 --> 00:45:54.030
is kind of where 89 .5 WSOU comes into play.

00:45:54.289 --> 00:45:58.269
They got some play on there. I know 1480 Z Rock

00:45:58.269 --> 00:46:02.159
played these guys. They just never had that chance.

00:46:02.500 --> 00:46:05.699
And the song is obviously up on Spotify. So when

00:46:05.699 --> 00:46:07.960
I make a mixtape for people, I always like to

00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:10.400
kind of throw songs in where as they're singing

00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:12.719
along with the ones they're oh so familiar with,

00:46:12.840 --> 00:46:15.300
they get some new songs that maybe they could

00:46:15.300 --> 00:46:18.380
take something away. So I'm hoping that China

00:46:18.380 --> 00:46:21.340
Died is something that listeners tonight take

00:46:21.340 --> 00:46:24.420
away and rediscover a band that I loved so much

00:46:24.420 --> 00:46:27.639
growing up and that was Sittin' Pretty. That's

00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:29.659
awesome, brother. That's very awesome. And it

00:46:29.659 --> 00:46:32.559
seems like side two is that weird side because

00:46:32.559 --> 00:46:35.579
we're in that mood. And, you know, I know when

00:46:35.579 --> 00:46:38.019
you made mixtapes, if you were just driving around,

00:46:38.099 --> 00:46:40.800
you make one for driving around. The first side

00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:42.099
was like, all right, my friends are going to

00:46:42.099 --> 00:46:43.760
have to deal with this. So like the first side

00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:45.860
is everything that like they would know mostly

00:46:45.860 --> 00:46:48.400
for the most part, not a lot of deep cuts. And

00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:50.159
the second side is where you really started getting

00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:53.760
deep. I'm going to stray away from that a bit.

00:46:54.780 --> 00:46:56.860
And I'm going to go with something. It's a song

00:46:56.860 --> 00:47:02.000
about. being cheated on but witnessing it i'm

00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:04.119
just kidding i'm not going deep from the 1990

00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:06.960
album cherry pie i'm gonna go with i saw red

00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:12.119
by warrant oh wow you went with i saw red you

00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:15.960
see i had warrant on my list and it was not heaven

00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:18.960
either i went with the one that hutch chimed

00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:22.320
in with and sometimes she cries from 89's dirty

00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:25.760
rotten filthy stinking rich but my god i'll tell

00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:29.099
you right now You take the song Cherry Pie off

00:47:29.099 --> 00:47:32.639
of the album Cherry Pie, and people view Warrant

00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:34.920
differently moving forward. Absolutely, because

00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:37.900
you've got Mr. Rainmaker, you've got Uncle Tom's

00:47:37.900 --> 00:47:39.639
Cabin, which the album was originally going to

00:47:39.639 --> 00:47:41.519
be called, was Uncle Tom's Cabin. Yes, and if

00:47:41.519 --> 00:47:44.539
Uncle Tom's Cabin started the album, people take

00:47:44.539 --> 00:47:47.000
Warrant more seriously as a band. But instead,

00:47:47.380 --> 00:47:50.920
the label pushed him. He probably wrote the song

00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:54.579
while he was on the toilet. On a pizza box. Yeah,

00:47:54.699 --> 00:47:58.369
24 hours later. And then they bring in CeCe DeVille.

00:47:58.449 --> 00:48:01.630
It was literally a label contrived, but it became

00:48:01.630 --> 00:48:04.070
what the band was known for. And I think that's

00:48:04.070 --> 00:48:07.929
a shame because they're much better than the

00:48:07.929 --> 00:48:10.530
Cherry Pie band. And now you say sometimes she

00:48:10.530 --> 00:48:12.230
cries and I'm kind of like, oh, I want to change

00:48:12.230 --> 00:48:15.409
my answer, but I'm not going to. I'm going to

00:48:15.409 --> 00:48:18.510
stand my ground with I Saw Red. All right. And

00:48:18.510 --> 00:48:22.030
I'm going to stick with the New Jersey love we've

00:48:22.030 --> 00:48:24.010
been kind of throwing around in this mix. And

00:48:24.010 --> 00:48:26.789
I'm going to go with another one that. Huge hit.

00:48:27.110 --> 00:48:30.989
Everybody knows it. Everybody loves it. And it

00:48:30.989 --> 00:48:33.630
is probably another one of my top favorite power

00:48:33.630 --> 00:48:35.389
ballads. I'm just scrolling through my list.

00:48:35.730 --> 00:48:38.250
Started to get upset because there's at least

00:48:38.250 --> 00:48:40.789
a dozen bands there's no way in hell we're going

00:48:40.789 --> 00:48:43.650
to get to tonight. Yeah. And I can already feel

00:48:43.650 --> 00:48:46.750
the emails coming in. How the hell can you do

00:48:46.750 --> 00:48:50.010
a power ballads playlist and not include? So

00:48:50.010 --> 00:48:52.329
this is one of the songs I know would be on that

00:48:52.329 --> 00:48:55.519
list. But it's also one of my favorite power

00:48:55.519 --> 00:48:59.000
ballads. The Ataris do an amazing punk rock cover

00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:03.619
of it. And I'm going from 1989 Skid Row, I Remember

00:49:03.619 --> 00:49:10.340
You. New Jersey and Canada uniting to give us

00:49:10.340 --> 00:49:13.800
Skid Row. I could have went with 18 and Life

00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:18.320
as well because that was a power ballad. However...

00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:21.719
With the theme of some of the lyrics of the songs

00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:24.199
that are on like side to like Heartbreak Station,

00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:26.179
what you give, I know something to believe in.

00:49:26.360 --> 00:49:28.639
I mean, I could have probably went with either

00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:31.780
or, but I think I remember you. I'm trying to

00:49:31.780 --> 00:49:34.599
kind of steer the ending of this playlist a little

00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:37.619
bit towards kind of the big finale. And I think

00:49:37.619 --> 00:49:40.000
I remember you takes us there a little better.

00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:42.500
Yeah, but I don't think I'm going to be the guy

00:49:42.500 --> 00:49:44.300
to give you the big finale or something that

00:49:44.300 --> 00:49:48.300
everybody knows. I'm Captain Deep Cuts. And it's

00:49:48.300 --> 00:49:50.719
not because I think, oh, that's the popular song.

00:49:50.800 --> 00:49:52.780
People need to know the deeper cuts from these

00:49:52.780 --> 00:49:54.780
bands. It's not that. It's just that I've heard

00:49:54.780 --> 00:49:57.179
the popular song so many times that I appreciate

00:49:57.179 --> 00:49:59.980
the deeper cuts more. How many songs do I have

00:49:59.980 --> 00:50:03.099
left? Two, right? You have two songs left, and

00:50:03.099 --> 00:50:11.539
I've got one. I'm sorry. It's harder than it

00:50:11.539 --> 00:50:16.780
looks, isn't it? It is. All right. All right.

00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:20.400
I got to follow Skid Row. And that's probably

00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:23.800
the biggest power ballad ever, I think. It's

00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:27.019
probably one of the top five biggest power ballads

00:50:27.019 --> 00:50:29.760
ever, I would assume, right? Mm -hmm. I'm going

00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:33.460
to go with another one that I know is huge. Huge.

00:50:34.739 --> 00:50:36.960
And it's from my favorite era of the band because

00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:40.440
they started out as kind of a Led Zeppelin meets

00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:44.119
Fleetwood Mac. And in the 80s, they became something

00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:48.010
just so big and grand. And I have to go from

00:50:48.010 --> 00:50:51.329
the album Bad Animals. I'm going to go with Alone

00:50:51.329 --> 00:50:56.190
by Heart. Yes. Okay, well, thank you. Because

00:50:56.190 --> 00:50:59.849
that was going to be my track nine. Obviously,

00:50:59.849 --> 00:51:03.349
it's my love of cover songs. This song is so

00:51:03.349 --> 00:51:07.570
good. It's a cover song. And when people go back

00:51:07.570 --> 00:51:09.989
and listen to the original. they immediately

00:51:09.989 --> 00:51:13.510
realize how iconic Hart made it. Ann Wilson's

00:51:13.510 --> 00:51:17.090
voice on this song is one of the greatest vocal

00:51:17.090 --> 00:51:22.190
performances in a rock song ever. Bar none. And

00:51:22.190 --> 00:51:26.070
there's a reason why every American Idol hopeful

00:51:26.070 --> 00:51:30.570
sings this damn song to a not -so -good effect.

00:51:31.269 --> 00:51:34.289
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's not the easiest

00:51:34.289 --> 00:51:36.409
tune to sing. I know for a fact I can't sing

00:51:36.409 --> 00:51:40.750
it. Nor would I ever try, but man, even everything

00:51:40.750 --> 00:51:43.130
about that song. And you got to give Nancy heard

00:51:43.130 --> 00:51:45.170
you as well. Cause the guitar work on that is

00:51:45.170 --> 00:51:47.789
beautiful as well. It's gorgeous. It's absolutely.

00:51:48.210 --> 00:51:50.570
And then you take it into the nineties and you

00:51:50.570 --> 00:51:52.809
strip it down to the acoustic version from the

00:51:52.809 --> 00:51:56.050
road home with John Paul Jones on bass. And it

00:51:56.050 --> 00:51:58.730
goes from this grandiose power ballad to this

00:51:58.730 --> 00:52:03.869
delicate, gorgeous song. The harmonies. Oh my

00:52:03.869 --> 00:52:08.980
God. I could have used either version, but power

00:52:08.980 --> 00:52:14.119
comes from the studio version. I am torn, though.

00:52:14.659 --> 00:52:17.699
Well, torn is technically a power ballad. Yeah,

00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:22.059
true. Yes. I have two songs that I would like

00:52:22.059 --> 00:52:27.599
to have in this spot now. Because you chose heart.

00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:31.320
My decision, had you not chosen Heart, was easy

00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:34.119
because Heart was going to be track nine. Now

00:52:34.119 --> 00:52:36.980
you've chosen that and I am torn between two

00:52:36.980 --> 00:52:40.739
songs that we need to follow up alone with. So

00:52:40.739 --> 00:52:44.139
they need to be massive power ballads. And I

00:52:44.139 --> 00:52:52.659
have two and I'm completely undecided. All right,

00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:56.880
I'm going to go with one that is a re -recording.

00:52:57.519 --> 00:53:01.440
Of a hit. The original was a hit. The re -recording

00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:05.159
was a hit. They both charted. And the version

00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:09.480
I'm going from. Is off of 1991's Decade of Decadence.

00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:13.039
Oh alright. And I'm going to go with Motley Crue's.

00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:16.320
Home Sweet Home 91. Where Tommy Lee's playing

00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:19.940
on the grand piano. It kind of strips away. A

00:53:19.940 --> 00:53:22.320
little bit of the 80's sheen. That the Theater

00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:27.670
of Pain version has. And it is. A true. hard

00:53:27.670 --> 00:53:31.329
rock power ballad. And I feel like it was Motley

00:53:31.329 --> 00:53:36.150
Crue's best version of it, bar none. But it was

00:53:36.150 --> 00:53:38.929
really hard for me to choose between that and

00:53:38.929 --> 00:53:40.650
another song. But I'm not going to say what that

00:53:40.650 --> 00:53:43.050
one was because you might even have it for your

00:53:43.050 --> 00:53:46.110
closing song of the night. But Home Sweet Home

00:53:46.110 --> 00:53:49.710
91. I know you're a fan of Motley Crue. Be curious

00:53:49.710 --> 00:53:52.150
where you think this one fits compared to the

00:53:52.150 --> 00:53:56.360
original on Theater of Pain. I like both versions

00:53:56.360 --> 00:54:01.159
a lot. And while I like where you're going with

00:54:01.159 --> 00:54:05.739
your choice, the original just, it's the original.

00:54:05.860 --> 00:54:08.119
And I'm going to go with the original. So like

00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:10.260
a band covers themselves. It's a cover song.

00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:12.139
So you automatically choose it. Is that what's

00:54:12.139 --> 00:54:14.280
happening here, Brian? Not at all. It's because

00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:16.940
believe it or not, I just love the grand piano

00:54:16.940 --> 00:54:20.099
sound. No, I got you. Of the opening versus the

00:54:20.099 --> 00:54:23.559
keyboard. I feel like the grand piano sounds.

00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:30.159
It's more timeless to me than the original, which

00:54:30.159 --> 00:54:34.519
does take me right to 1985. And I'm nitpicking

00:54:34.519 --> 00:54:37.380
here because both versions are great. But to

00:54:37.380 --> 00:54:41.400
me, 91's version just feels still a little bit

00:54:41.400 --> 00:54:46.320
more modern in 2023 versus the 80s keyboard of

00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:48.019
the original on theater. Fair enough. No, that's

00:54:48.019 --> 00:54:51.659
fair enough. But now you have the hardest decision

00:54:51.659 --> 00:54:55.880
of them all, sir. I really do. I'm sitting here

00:54:55.880 --> 00:54:58.659
thinking of all these songs, like all these songs,

00:54:58.699 --> 00:55:02.199
like deep cuts, like Only My Heart Talking by

00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:05.679
Alice Cooper that also has Steven Tyler on it.

00:55:05.860 --> 00:55:08.719
I mean, me, I like Dream Theater. Another Day

00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:12.539
falls into that power ballad. Winger, Miles Away.

00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:17.300
These are songs that, man, right? But I'm going

00:55:17.300 --> 00:55:23.039
to end this tape with a song from a movie, from

00:55:23.039 --> 00:55:27.760
a sequel. Not from a hair band. From a guy who,

00:55:27.900 --> 00:55:31.619
when he joined his band, changed the sound of

00:55:31.619 --> 00:55:34.900
them. Then he went solo. And I'm going to go

00:55:34.900 --> 00:55:39.519
with one that is so glorious. Little hint for

00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:43.659
you there. Uh -oh. That I have to go with Peter

00:55:43.659 --> 00:55:50.000
Cetera's Glory of Love. That's a huge, huge song.

00:55:50.699 --> 00:55:54.320
And it ticks every single box. And I was like

00:55:54.320 --> 00:55:56.480
thinking to myself, man, you don't have anything

00:55:56.480 --> 00:55:59.039
from movies yet. And you love movie soundtracks.

00:55:59.139 --> 00:56:03.920
Yes, I do. Glory of love. Gomez is standing up,

00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:07.300
slow clapping that choice. The Karate Kid 2.

00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:12.219
What a great pick. Peter Cetera had so many,

00:56:12.300 --> 00:56:15.500
even Chicago had power ballads with Look Away.

00:56:16.780 --> 00:56:19.440
He was like kind of one of those guys where Kenny

00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:22.960
Loggins was your... Kenny Loggins also had Meet

00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:25.739
Me Halfway that could have very easily fit this

00:56:25.739 --> 00:56:28.320
too. I need to change my answer now because that's

00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:31.920
one of my favorite songs ever. In a lifetime.

00:56:33.219 --> 00:56:37.800
Yeah, I guess. Wow. Sean, we make up the rules

00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:41.420
here on My Weekly Mixtape. I will give you the

00:56:41.420 --> 00:56:44.780
choice. You have... You put the Gloria Love in.

00:56:45.139 --> 00:56:47.719
People are probably cheering for that. But then

00:56:47.719 --> 00:56:50.619
Kenny Loggins got brought into the mix. I will

00:56:50.619 --> 00:56:54.699
allow you a mulligan to cross it off and meet

00:56:54.699 --> 00:56:57.619
me halfway for the close. Let me think about

00:56:57.619 --> 00:56:59.760
this, though. Am I going to go with drum technique

00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:03.639
to defend yourself? Or am I going to turn my

00:57:03.639 --> 00:57:06.300
hat backwards and become a completely different

00:57:06.300 --> 00:57:09.260
guy? I have to think about this, Brian, because

00:57:09.260 --> 00:57:13.159
meet me halfway. That's a beautiful song. And

00:57:13.159 --> 00:57:16.679
it also does have that big, bam, meet me halfway.

00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:21.280
But, oh, Brian, Brian, this is going to be a

00:57:21.280 --> 00:57:23.420
really long episode because I need to sit here

00:57:23.420 --> 00:57:30.380
and dissect. Pros and cons list. These are the

00:57:30.380 --> 00:57:34.820
pros and cons of song choosing. I'm going to

00:57:34.820 --> 00:57:39.460
stick with Glory of Love by Peter Cetera. However,

00:57:39.780 --> 00:57:43.190
how much time is left on this cassette? Ooh,

00:57:43.309 --> 00:57:48.889
could be seconds. Because I'm thinking Dalav

00:57:48.889 --> 00:57:53.750
Nikifesan could also fit. NFB from Anthrax. I'll

00:57:53.750 --> 00:57:56.969
allow it. I'll allow it so much. I'm going to

00:57:56.969 --> 00:57:59.849
put it at the end of the playlist just so people

00:57:59.849 --> 00:58:03.630
could hear the awesomeness. That is Anthrax's

00:58:03.630 --> 00:58:10.590
NFB. Brian, give me some tissues. I used to end,

00:58:10.730 --> 00:58:13.159
I kid you not. And there's probably a reason

00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:15.980
they are exes. I have ended a few power ballad

00:58:15.980 --> 00:58:18.840
mixes with that song. Because you could tell

00:58:18.840 --> 00:58:22.260
which people actually listen to it. Because for

00:58:22.260 --> 00:58:25.920
the first verse of the song, it is a power ballad.

00:58:25.960 --> 00:58:27.739
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the second verse that

00:58:27.739 --> 00:58:29.780
shows if she's really paying attention or not.

00:58:29.960 --> 00:58:32.079
We fell in love at first sight. Can't explain

00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:34.019
the feeling when I first saw you. We were so,

00:58:34.099 --> 00:58:36.019
so happy. Then our lives changed. Son and child,

00:58:36.059 --> 00:58:38.780
you'll always be mine. And then your second verse.

00:58:39.130 --> 00:58:42.030
Then I played the fool. Oh, you're right. I never

00:58:42.030 --> 00:58:45.190
meant to hurt you. I'll sleep with all your friends.

00:58:45.190 --> 00:58:49.250
Oh, this is a family show. It's a sleepover in

00:58:49.250 --> 00:58:51.469
pajamas eating popcorn watching Nickelodeon.

00:58:51.530 --> 00:58:54.989
Yes. Yes. Well, there you have it, folks. Side

00:58:54.989 --> 00:58:58.190
B of our Power Ballads playlist starting off

00:58:58.190 --> 00:59:01.489
with Cinderella, Heartbreak Station, Tesla, What

00:59:01.489 --> 00:59:05.260
You Give. Poison, something to believe in. Cleavage,

00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:08.460
it's not goodbye forever. Sittin' Pretty, China

00:59:08.460 --> 00:59:12.820
Died. Warrant, I Saw Red. Skid Row, I Remember

00:59:12.820 --> 00:59:17.119
You. Heart, Alone. Motley Crue's Home Sweet Home

00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:20.920
91. Peter Cetera's The Glory of Love with the

00:59:20.920 --> 00:59:26.360
bonus track Anthrax NFB for a little fun at the

00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:29.059
end of the playlist. I could tell you right now

00:59:29.059 --> 00:59:33.559
to everybody. There will be a volume two. Sean

00:59:33.559 --> 00:59:38.619
will be back because I still have 25 songs of

00:59:38.619 --> 00:59:41.960
bands we haven't touched. Yeah, yeah. We need

00:59:41.960 --> 00:59:44.300
to do a part two. We have to do a part two because

00:59:44.300 --> 00:59:47.320
where's Night Ranger? Where is Chicago, right?

00:59:47.500 --> 00:59:50.199
Where's Nelson? Who's that other REO Speedwagon?

00:59:50.239 --> 00:59:54.599
And I almost had Only Time Will Tell. Aerosmith,

00:59:54.800 --> 00:59:57.300
Def Leppard. Aerosmith, right. Faster Pussycat,

00:59:57.519 --> 01:00:00.940
Guns N' Roses. Part two of Power Ballads will

01:00:00.940 --> 01:00:04.619
be coming your way this fall. Mark my words,

01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:08.179
we will make it happen. However, to hear about

01:00:08.179 --> 01:00:10.760
the songs we've talked about on tonight's episode,

01:00:11.059 --> 01:00:15.400
head over to myweeklymixtape .com, visit the

01:00:15.400 --> 01:00:17.940
Power Ballads page, and listen to all of the

01:00:17.940 --> 01:00:20.800
songs we discussed in this mix through the embedded

01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:23.809
playlist. Sean Faust. I know you're working on

01:00:23.809 --> 01:00:26.730
some stuff. So what does the rest of 2023 have

01:00:26.730 --> 01:00:29.230
in store for you? Is there any new music on the

01:00:29.230 --> 01:00:32.170
horizon? And then most importantly, where can

01:00:32.170 --> 01:00:35.349
people connect with you to hear your music? There

01:00:35.349 --> 01:00:37.789
is plenty of new music on the horizon, Brian.

01:00:37.889 --> 01:00:41.010
I'm working on a full length studio album. I'm

01:00:41.010 --> 01:00:46.230
also re -recording my original demo from 1995

01:00:46.230 --> 01:00:50.150
because I kind of want to give that. I like recording.

01:00:50.329 --> 01:00:52.940
I like layering. It's your home sweet home 91,

01:00:53.239 --> 01:00:56.219
isn't it? It kind of is, except for songs that

01:00:56.219 --> 01:00:59.079
nobody's heard and probably still won't, except

01:00:59.079 --> 01:01:02.039
for Mountains. But I'm looking at re -recording

01:01:02.039 --> 01:01:04.920
that, which is also an original recording of

01:01:04.920 --> 01:01:07.519
Believe before Money for the Toll, even though

01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:10.300
I was calling myself as a solo artist Money for

01:01:10.300 --> 01:01:12.619
the Toll. So I'm going to be re -recording that,

01:01:12.659 --> 01:01:14.539
and I'm just going to do some more live stuff.

01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:19.139
But I can be found at seanfaustmusic .com or...

01:01:19.630 --> 01:01:22.190
wherever else you might want to find me and buy

01:01:22.190 --> 01:01:25.010
my music. And I will suggest if you are going

01:01:25.010 --> 01:01:28.789
to purchase it, bandcamp .com. They do the monthly

01:01:28.789 --> 01:01:32.050
Bandcamp Fridays. I don't want to tell people

01:01:32.050 --> 01:01:35.170
to wait to purchase your music. However, as a

01:01:35.170 --> 01:01:37.809
musician who does this full time, I would rather

01:01:37.809 --> 01:01:40.590
see you get the lion's share of it. So when there

01:01:40.590 --> 01:01:43.610
is Bandcamp Friday, support Sean's music then

01:01:43.610 --> 01:01:47.309
because Sean gets a bigger cut from the proceeds

01:01:47.309 --> 01:01:50.659
of that song, which... helps him create more

01:01:50.659 --> 01:01:53.960
new music. This is true. And if you're going

01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:56.320
to go to Bandcamp, only use it for purchasing.

01:01:56.579 --> 01:01:58.880
Streaming does nothing. I don't even get a fraction

01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:01.820
of a penny. So please, purchase there. Stream

01:02:01.820 --> 01:02:05.920
elsewhere. Sean Faust, 20 -something year friendship.

01:02:06.420 --> 01:02:09.699
Always great to have you on. I apologize for

01:02:09.699 --> 01:02:11.940
booking you for a part two without even asking

01:02:11.940 --> 01:02:14.739
your permission, but this has been an absolute

01:02:14.739 --> 01:02:17.920
blast. Love, dude. I can't wait to do it. And

01:02:17.920 --> 01:02:20.579
I'm already starting my next list. All right.
