DLR or Sammy Hagar? Which version of Van Halen do you prefer, or do you like them both equally?
1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,400
This is a tobacco.
Vape.

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,600
Thank you.
That's a that's a tobacco vape.

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,640
Hey, this is, this is the Chris
and Mike show.

4
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:07,520
Mike's the one holding the
tobacco vape.

5
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,000
I'm the one holding nothing.
I don't know what to do with my

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,320
hands.
Like Ricky Bobby.

7
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,640
What do I do with my hands?
What do I do with my hands?

8
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:22,240
Welcome to episode #2.
So this is this is #2 season

9
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:23,720
one.
Number two, I kind of stopped

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,280
leaning out of the frame.
Season Season One Episode 2.

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,159
Of the Chris and Mike show, what
are we going to talk about

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,720
today, Mike, I think we're going
to talk about who was better in.

13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,120
A spot like that David Lee Roth
or Sammy?

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,680
Who's.
Better Chris or Mike.

15
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,920
Oh there you go Danny the the
damny that's like going to be

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,520
the the then one is one of the
one of the top ten all time

17
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,560
discussions I think in the music
world of who's better Sammy or

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:02,640
Dave right my opinion is and I
and and you have to my opinion

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,000
is that they were both great.
Right, because it depends on

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,280
what you're looking at and and
why, right?

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,400
Because the first song I ever
heard the the my introduction to

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,760
Van Halen.
Ironically enough, because of

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:22,320
our age, MTV played Unchained
and I was like, holy shit.

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,360
These guys are freaking awesome.
Just you know that that that

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,720
video, right, was the old school
video was just the stage.

26
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,520
There's no nonsense to it.
It's just them performing live

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,920
speakers stacked front of the
stage to the ceiling.

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,360
Eddie.
Right, right.

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,560
Eddie had that trademark red and
white whatever Frankenstein

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,560
pants that he was wearing.
You know, shirtless.

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Yeah, shirtless, cigarette
dangling.

32
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,520
Just, you know.
And David Lee Roth being David

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,880
Lee Roth, like the front man
that he is, because he is a

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,480
front man.
Motherfucker Can't Sing.

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,600
We're shit.
He's out of key all the time.

36
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,160
Forgets the lyrics.
I've seen him three Times Now.

37
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,800
But he was a front man like he
he epitomized the front man for

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,320
rock'n'roll in the 70s and what
would eventually be the 80s, you

39
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:23,200
know and and and for his time he
was an amazing front man.

40
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,400
He was also an amazing singer
for his time.

41
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,680
He got bad.
He he how do I say this he did

42
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,920
not age gracefully.
His voice did not age.

43
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,440
You got?
Worse with age it did.

44
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:44,040
Because Scott and I saw him.
I don't know, probably 9596.

45
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:50,240
He was out on his A Little Just
Ain't Enough tour, and I believe

46
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,320
we saw him at America West Arena
when it was still that they were

47
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,600
well, he was amazing.
His solo band was good.

48
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,520
He sounded good.
I agree with you.

49
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,160
Something happened when he got
to about 60 years old where he

50
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,120
just couldn't hit any of those
notes anymore.

51
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,360
Yeah, I saw him.
I never saw Van Halen Original

52
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,400
wind up.
I saw Dave when he did the Eat

53
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,280
Him and Smile tour right after
the break up right and he played

54
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,840
at the Madhouse on McDowell and.
The he came.

55
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,280
I don't remember if it was the
beginning of the show or

56
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,720
somewhere during the show, but
at one point in time he comes

57
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,120
from what would be center field
of a baseball diamond and surfed

58
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,840
down to home plate while singing
and holding onto this rails on

59
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,440
this surfboard.
And just.

60
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,200
And then he ended up on the
stage, like entertainment value

61
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,040
wise, fantastic.
And then I saw him again when he

62
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,600
came back with Van Halen and he
sounded like shit.

63
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,440
I forgot lyrics.
You know it was obviously drunk

64
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,760
walking around stage you know
gyrating and and pelvic

65
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,400
thrusting and it just to me it
wasn't like dude you don't have

66
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,640
18/19/20 year old girls in the
crowd anymore.

67
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,320
You have you know 3540 year old
women are just kind of looking

68
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,880
like what are you doing Dave And
then I saw him with Sammy where

69
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,080
they were doing their tour and
they flip-flopped.

70
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,800
One would headline and one would
open, you know, different nights

71
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:21,399
and I did not see.
Again, the the he didn't.

72
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,440
OK, so, so the antics, the
antics of him for that, for that

73
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,160
show was just this kind of
stupid, like he was like pigeon.

74
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,160
He pigeonholed himself from this
juvenile, you know, I'm 2223

75
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,720
years old, however old he was
when Van Halen was at their

76
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,480
peak.
With him, mind you, because I

77
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:44,080
think they peaked even higher
with Sammy, they were definitely

78
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,000
a better selling band.
With Sammy, they actually the

79
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,360
Sammy era actually outsold the
Dave era.

80
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,200
Oh yeah, absolutely tenfold.
I mean they became the biggest

81
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,760
band in the world with Sammy,
whereas with with Dave, they

82
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,880
they, they they owned
California, they owned the West

83
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,920
Coast, they had their, you know,
United States dominance.

84
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:15,120
But I think with Sammy.
Just, you know, and then I've

85
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,520
heard stuff before, I don't know
if you, if you know this or if

86
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,720
you've heard this, that one of
the producers wanted Sammy in

87
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,400
the band way back when because
he thought he'd be a better fit

88
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,160
than David was.
I don't know how much truth

89
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,400
there is to that, but I've never
heard that I I could imagine

90
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,800
that that could put.
I could imagine that could

91
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,240
potentially be true.
The only reason that I would say

92
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:46,880
there's a possibility that it
wasn't is for the for the same

93
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,800
reason that many lead singers
ended up getting in a band.

94
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,640
The reason that Dave ended up in
Van Halen is he was the one that

95
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,840
owned the PA system get.
A trade system.

96
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,800
Back in the day, if you were a
singer and you had your own PA

97
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,400
system, you were almost
guaranteed a band, correct?

98
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:03,600
Yeah.
Oh.

99
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Yeah.
Oh yeah, That's because that's

100
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,240
the one thing.
PA system when I joined Nemesis.

101
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,560
Yeah, you actually did.
Remember that you had that P?

102
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,680
Yeah, you had that PV and those.
Nice.

103
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:24,000
Tower speakers.
OK, That's right.

104
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,200
OK, I forgot.
That was one of the casualties

105
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,160
of me moving back to Illinois
was those speakers and that PA

106
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,680
or the mixer was still in
Kevin's backroom.

107
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,680
Yeah, yeah.
He ended up getting it.

108
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,880
He ended up giving it back to
me.

109
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,080
Oh, you ended up getting it back
years ago.

110
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,160
Oh.
Nice.

111
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,480
I I kind of, you know, like like
poked on like, dude, you know, I

112
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,600
know you had a conflict with
Mike, but my gear's my gear.

113
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,240
Come on.
So yeah, he.

114
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,280
I forget where I'm at.
But he ended up.

115
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:04,240
I ended up getting it back well,
and hindsight, I should have had

116
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,920
to grab my stuff too.
You know, I probably would have

117
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:12,480
tried if, if, if, if.
I think he probably knew what

118
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,040
was yours and what was mine
because he kind of alluded to

119
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:20,200
that, you know, I don't know, it
was a while ago, you know, a

120
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,360
while ago.
Back to the topic though.

121
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,400
So Sammy and Dave, you never saw
that tour, you never saw that

122
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,520
tour.
So the night, the night that we

123
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,040
saw him, is that cricket
pavilion, which is where you and

124
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,120
I saw the the work at the time,
one of the most entertaining.

125
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,680
Shows ever from John Mellencamp,
everyone.

126
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,480
Kenny Smith's snare broke, his
snare drum broke and he went up

127
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,480
and as he went down they had to
replace it.

128
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,200
I do.
That was amazing.

129
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,200
Remember that?
I do.

130
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,920
Yeah, that was amazing.
And what was amazing, as we were

131
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,960
both watching that moment at the
same time, because I know that's

132
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,040
Whoa, did you see that, dude?
I would love to know how many

133
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,560
people caught that moment in
time because I guarantee it was

134
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,760
very few.
Only musicians, I think, caught

135
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,960
that that had.
You know but yeah so so they

136
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,200
played at Cricket, which is I
don't know what it's called now.

137
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,520
They played at cricket pavilion.
Sammy was on 1st and he was in

138
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:21,480
his prime post Van Halen.
I think he left, just left Van

139
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,400
Halen.
I don't remember.

140
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,720
But it was it was he was like
Cabo Abo Cantina was was you

141
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,360
know he was everywhere.
It was like the lean, fit red

142
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,159
rocker, you know.
Just fun.

143
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:42,280
His show was just fun.
There was nothing negative about

144
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,640
it.
He just came out and he had his

145
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,320
little he had these little
dancers, he had the bands, he

146
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,080
had his bar.
He had people on side stage, you

147
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,960
know, pimped out his.
His tequila he made in Cabo Wabo

148
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,800
and just start to finish was a
great show.

149
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,680
Like, it was entertaining, it
was energetic.

150
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:00,920
The crowd was engaged.
They were singing back.

151
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,360
He did the Van Halen stuff.
He did his solo stuff.

152
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,560
The Van Halen stuff obviously
was more revered than the solo

153
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:10,720
stuff because solo stuff, 3 lock
box, can't drive 55.

154
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,400
And that's all I really know
from him.

155
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,560
I know he did.
What was that candy song from

156
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:16,440
Montrose?
He did.

157
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,040
Oh, rock candy, you know.
What I'm talking about rock

158
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,240
candy.
Yeah.

159
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,480
So that's really.
And then was one of his original

160
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,800
ones.
Yeah.

161
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,160
Yeah.
And so, like his like straight

162
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,320
up showmanship, right.
And then lights go out.

163
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,200
They do the stage switch for
Dave.

164
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,840
We're all just kind of, you
know, crowd half an hour or so

165
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,800
now since Sammy laughed and and
all of a sudden the light goes

166
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,680
on and outcomes Dave and the
band like there was no.

167
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,200
Showmanship to it.
There was no entertainment value

168
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,360
to it.
He came out in this spandex blue

169
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:08,520
suit that was, you know kind of
like AU cut so you could see the

170
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:14,480
chest and the ABS left nothing
to the imagination how how tight

171
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,520
fitting the thing was, had what
looked like like wrestling shoes

172
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,080
on and just came out and started
singing and then he.

173
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,560
He had the bottle of Jack.
He played with the whole show

174
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:26,240
and that was his little phallic
symbol.

175
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,920
As he's walking around he's
drinking it.

176
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,000
It just, it was, it was weird,
man.

177
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:40,680
There was there was nothing in
my eyes anyway that it was just

178
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:43,000
a guy up there singing songs
with no flash.

179
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,240
No.
No fun.

180
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,520
No.
No pyrotechnics, nothing behind

181
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,360
the scene.
He was doing a lot of that, that

182
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,480
martial arts stuff with the big
stick that he used to twirl

183
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,680
around, you know, all up and
down as he's singing songs and

184
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:02,760
shit.
He kind of half assed a lot of

185
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,480
the Van Halen songs that, you
know, made him what he was.

186
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,400
It just, it wasn't.
I left early.

187
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,400
We didn't stay for the encore.
It was that kind of like, what

188
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,600
the fuck is this?
Sammy and I, from a showmanship

189
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,840
standpoint, from an
entertainment standpoint, from,

190
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,160
from a vocal standpoint, just
annihilate him.

191
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,240
It wasn't even, it wasn't even a
competition.

192
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,720
It was just like get off the
stage.

193
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,440
And I've heard Sammy.
I've, I've watched him and Dave

194
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,840
different times with the
interviews and stuff over the

195
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,320
years.
And Sammy said he was just the

196
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,800
biggest asshole in the world on
that tour.

197
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,000
Like they they wouldn't talk to
each other.

198
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,480
Sammy wasn't allowed to go knock
on his dressing room door.

199
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,200
He wasn't allowed to.
Engaging conversation.

200
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,560
You know, before or after the
shows, they took separate buses,

201
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,560
you know?
And Dave's never really

202
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,800
elaborated too much on anything,
except he just thinks that

203
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,320
Sammy's jealous of him, you
know?

204
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,680
And Dave could do no wrong.
There was Joe Rogan.

205
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,000
Joe Rogan had them both on.
As we talked about Joe Rogan

206
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,080
earlier, I saw Dave and he.
Was talking to them both.

207
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,920
I don't know if it was the same,
OK, yeah.

208
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:11,440
So yeah, it wasn't the same
show.

209
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,880
Shaved, but it was really close.
Like, all?

210
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,760
Yeah, Right.
OK.

211
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,520
Had he had Sammy on our show and
Dave on our show separately.

212
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,240
I've never seen Sammy on there.
I've seen Dave on there though.

213
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,800
OK, yeah, that was one of the
reels I just saw was was him

214
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,440
talking to Sammy and it was, it
was kind of a back and forth

215
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,680
thing there was there was a
Sammy question, Sammy respond

216
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:37,040
and then the reel went to Dave
and something.

217
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,040
Relevant to what Sammy was
saying.

218
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,440
So somebody obviously met,
meshed it together.

219
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,760
Yeah, I would say that's
something that somebody.

220
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,440
Put together, Dave was his
typical.

221
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,800
Yeah, well was Dave his typical.
ADHD on the show, you know, had

222
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,560
to overtop laughing.
Everything was stupid funny,

223
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,200
even though it oh 100% yeah,
that.

224
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,440
That's just who he is.
Yeah.

225
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,960
Well, yeah, I mean, you know,
the whole Brown M and Ms. thing

226
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,960
was just a gimmick, right?
It wasn't real.

227
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,880
Well, it was real, but it wasn't
for the reason that people

228
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,960
thought it was, for it was to
make sure that the promoters

229
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,040
were actually reading the
contract.

230
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:24,720
Oh, no shit.
So many, yeah, many contracts,

231
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,240
especially in the music
business, because you're doing

232
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,720
one day after day after day
after day.

233
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,640
The people that run the venue
are also doing that, and they

234
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,400
get real complacent at just
boilerplate contracts.

235
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,520
So they snuck things into their
contract to make sure that

236
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,760
people were actually reading
them.

237
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,360
Yeah.
That's cool.

238
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,880
That's and most.
Of everything I've heard about

239
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,280
Dave from marketing standpoint,
yeah.

240
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,360
Oh yeah.
Dave was an excellent marketing

241
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,840
he.
He knew, he knew how to promote

242
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,040
it himself.
He knew how to promote the band.

243
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,720
Obviously, back in the day he
was the guy with the PA system,

244
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,080
so he had his shit together.
I mean, there's a reason they

245
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,360
were successful.
He was one of the first real

246
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,040
actual.
Frontman rock'n'roll ever saw?

247
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,520
Oh, I agree.
With that, Van Halen took the

248
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,840
arena concert to a whole new
experience.

249
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,880
They.
Did.

250
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,200
And then they took stadiums to a
whole new experience because

251
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,640
they did.
They did stadium tours too,

252
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,120
right when they were first in
Van Halen in the 70s.

253
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,640
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then Sammy.

254
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,920
Sammy took me to a whole another
level just because of the

255
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,200
harmonies and the range and the
melodies.

256
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,040
And that's the one thing that I
don't think Michael Anthony got

257
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,040
enough credit for.
Was his backing vocals.

258
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,160
Helped to find, helped to find
the sound of Van Halen even with

259
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,680
Oh no question was David or
Sammy singing?

260
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,000
I like Anthony's background.
Vocals were.

261
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,280
That's kind of awkward.
They were amazing.

262
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,040
That dude had a voice like they
were Spot.

263
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,480
On he had a voice like there was
no tomorrow, man.

264
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,920
I mean the, like you said, the
harmony parts that he hit at the

265
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,600
range that he hit, for a guy his
size, you would never expect

266
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,000
that voice was going to come out
of that man.

267
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Not.
At all.

268
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,920
And that was, that was kind of
why Van Halen was Van Halen,

269
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,440
right.
They had, it was the full

270
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,280
package.
I mean Eddie was Eddie and Eddie

271
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,760
will always be Eddie And I I I
don't know if you follow

272
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,960
Wolfgang or not.
I saw Wolfgang open for Alter

273
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:33,520
Bridge earlier this year at the
Marquee Theatre and I never

274
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,360
really got into him prior to
that show.

275
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,080
I heard the song that that he
when he debuted, you know about

276
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,240
his dad.
Never, really.

277
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,840
It just didn't, It didn't appeal
to me.

278
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,360
I wasn't like, it didn't pull me
in right.

279
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,760
But seeing him live like he's
fantastic.

280
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,280
He's he's got, he's got the the
stage presence he has the the

281
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,200
power to control the crowd.
He's everything you want from a

282
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,840
lead singer.
And then you have the fact that

283
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,720
he can.
Like he shreds on the guitar

284
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,720
like you can.
You can.

285
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,640
When we were watching him, he
did that little finger tapping.

286
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,760
You know, which Eddie wasn't the
first one to do the finger

287
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,760
tapping.
I'm sure you know that it was

288
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,560
some blue sky.
Eddie was not the first person

289
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,560
to do it, he just perfected it.
Nope.

290
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,520
Right.
That's what I was going to say.

291
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:23,680
Yep.
He just took it to a whole new

292
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,440
level.
Like, look what I can do.

293
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,800
And you can't do it as good as I
can.

294
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,640
So Wolfgang did a little bit of
that, but not too much, which I

295
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,120
was kind of.
I was kind of glad with that

296
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,840
because.
I don't think Wolfgang wants to

297
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,520
get pigeonholed as any Van Halen
son, you know?

298
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,080
No, I actually follow him on
Facebook and he no, you're

299
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,400
right, 100%, because I thought,
yeah, I follow him on Facebook,

300
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,880
Instagram.
He's totally not wanting to be.

301
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,080
He understands he's in his
father's shadow, but he's doing

302
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,880
everything he can to get out of
that.

303
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,920
And he's very interactive with
his fans.

304
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:03,960
Like if people talk shit to him,
he talks shit right back to him.

305
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,960
He he's super interactive with
the people that are on social

306
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,720
media, so you got to be careful
fucking with him.

307
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,200
And I admire him for that.
That's cool.

308
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,560
Yeah, no, he was on on stage
that night.

309
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,520
He was really engaged and he
talked to the crowd.

310
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,960
He he praised the crowd for
knowing some of his songs and

311
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,040
singing back to it several
times.

312
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,560
You said we're the, you know,
which all bands do it?

313
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,440
Oh, you're the best crowd on
tour to date.

314
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:34,440
No, we never did that.
But then Alter Bridge was saying

315
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,080
the same, right, right, right.
No, we didn't because we just

316
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,800
had fun.
But Alter Bridge was saying that

317
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,160
as well.
And then when the review came

318
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,240
out, which I don't know how, the
review stumbled in my lap, but

319
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,960
it did.
They they reviewed both Wolfgang

320
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,720
and him as just Alter Bridge and
Wolfgang.

321
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,920
Their performances just showered
them with praise like it was.

322
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,840
It was very indicative of the
show if you read the review.

323
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,600
Then you were at the show.
You're like, Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep,

324
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,600
Yep.
Just down the line there was a

325
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,080
band that opened the the first
band was pistols, pistols and

326
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,520
pistoleros.
I think really good band

327
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,080
actually.
I think they, I think they

328
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,000
opened for Alter Bridge.
Last time I saw them in, I think

329
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:26,560
it was 17 on the last hero tour.
They were really good too.

330
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,880
It was a whole all three bands
did a really good job.

331
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,960
Wolfgang really impressed me to
to the point that I bought his

332
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,000
next.
I downloaded his next album, his

333
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,040
his most recent one, and I've
listened to it probably 30-40

334
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:38,720
times.
It doesn't.

335
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,200
It doesn't get old.
He's he's got, Oh yeah, I got a

336
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,520
really good song.
I got all his stuff on my

337
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Spotify playlist.
I really make it too, man.

338
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,360
I don't have Spotify.
You better get Spotify because

339
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:52,720
that's where.
We're published this time.

340
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,560
I think it's Spotify.
Yeah, well, see, now I have to.

341
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,840
Now I have to.
So now Van Helen's in the Hall

342
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,520
of Fame, right?
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,

343
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,080
correct.
Right, yes.

344
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,200
And are they in there with Dave
or with Sammy or both?

345
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,440
Because I I don't know that
answer with both of them.

346
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,760
They're in there with both of
them.

347
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,600
Yeah.
When you're a band, you can

348
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,920
induct just certain members.
You can induct all the members

349
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,400
and since they were successful
with both Dave and Sammy on

350
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,480
massive levels, yeah, they're
they're all in there together as

351
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,240
Van Halen I.
Thought so.

352
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,480
But you know, Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame is such kind of bullshit

353
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,760
right now with, you know, it's
ridiculous.

354
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,160
Rock'n'roll.
Not hip hop.

355
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,760
Not right.
Not.

356
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,320
Not rap.
Not hip hop.

357
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,160
Fucking Dolly Parton was like,
what?

358
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,480
I don't want to go in the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame.

359
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,080
I'm not a rock singer.
I'm Dolly Fucking Parton.

360
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,000
I agree with you on this subject
because it does say Rock and

361
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,280
Roll Hall of Fame on the outside
of the building, right?

362
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,120
It doesn't say Music Hall of
Fame.

363
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,480
If they want to have a Music
Hall of Fame, that's fine.

364
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,760
Then you can put country, rap,
Rock Eastern, what?

365
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,640
You can put it all in there, but
it literally says Rock and Roll

366
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,520
Hall of Fame on the outside of
the building.

367
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,520
If you don't play rock'n'roll,
you shouldn't be able to be

368
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,080
qualified to be in there, right?
Right.

369
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,120
Right, exactly.
Exactly.

370
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,480
And they have a country Music
Hall of Fame and I do they have

371
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,480
a hip hop Hall of Fame or they
just or a Rap Hall of Fame?

372
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,360
Yeah.
So there you go.

373
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,880
So like Bono said, rock'n'roll
stops the traffic man and

374
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,960
anything else goes the wayside,
you know?

375
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:44,680
It's funny you mention that,
because I literally just saw,

376
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,240
you know, Where The Streets Have
No Name video on MTV last night.

377
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,040
When they stopped the traffic in
LA and they arrested them and

378
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,240
all that shit, that was an
awesome video.

379
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,600
I had to crank that thing up,
man.

380
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
When I saw a little glimpse of

381
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,600
of some of their stuff when
they're because they're doing

382
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,080
The Sphere right now in Vegas
and when they play, their

383
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,640
streets have no name, that
inside of that Sphere turned

384
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,040
into that desert background, you
know, with the red.

385
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,600
Oh, that's awesome.
Just on their yeah, on their

386
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,440
flat screen.
I looked at the going going

387
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,920
there.
It was fucking insane.

388
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,240
Tickets.
Like, yeah, I'm not spending

389
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,120
1200 bucks a ticket just to
watch you two in a giant Dome.

390
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,920
Not going to happen.
Is that what all the tickets

391
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,720
cost or is that the ticket
price?

392
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:38,720
No, no, I think it's the average
ticket price because I was like

393
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,600
I'm going to be taking you know
when I saw that.

394
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,600
Yeah, well it's you know it's
you 2 and that's the opening of

395
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,560
the skill.
I'm trying to find it.

396
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,520
I, I, I subscribe to SiriusXM,
right.

397
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,600
And so you too has their own
channel obviously and they had

398
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,560
this little thing they do called
desire.

399
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:06,560
So you listeners can chime in
and and you know, you could be

400
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,920
be the guest DJ for half an
hour, whatever long it takes.

401
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,240
You pick five songs and and
you're going on the show.

402
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,240
So just for the hell of it, I'm
like, oh, I'm going to do this,

403
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,680
you know, just to see if it if
it actually would amount to

404
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,160
anything and should you not as I
pull it up.

405
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,600
That was my release.
Yeah.

406
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,240
So my 5 songs I I picked for the
show which I have to record

407
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,640
everything explain it is running
the standstill.

408
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,040
I love that song Bull the Blue
Sky, Exit bad and all I want is

409
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,360
you.
Now thinking about it I should

410
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:50,000
have been I should have added
removed one of those and did

411
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,280
who's going to ride you around
the horses?

412
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,560
But that was more because of the
video.

413
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,000
If you remember that video, you
know because in all.

414
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,760
Videos, You're lip synching.
You're not really playing,

415
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,960
right?
Right.

416
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,560
But there's a one part, man,
that was just to me is the

417
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,560
epitome of Bono's personality.
He was singing the lyric, you

418
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,800
know, blip singing the lyric and
he fucked up and he just stops

419
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,120
like fuck and walks off the
screen.

420
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,360
She can't see him and he comes
and he comes back.

421
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:24,400
He's just like, you know, it
was, it was, it was fantastic,

422
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,360
man.
It was the coolest thing because

423
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:28,720
he really was so pissed off that
he missed.

424
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,640
He missed the lyric.
I'm pulling up YouTube right

425
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,360
now.
It's just like, you know, you

426
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,880
two who's, Yeah, the black and
white one.

427
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,440
Is it the black and white one?
Does it start off at?

428
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,480
I guess it does start off at the
screen.

429
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,480
I'm going to, I'm going to let
it play.

430
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,280
I'm going to tell you what, what
spot it is so you can go, oh, oh

431
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,320
shit.
Do you hear that?

432
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,320
That was my Did you lose me?
Get my, my, that music.

433
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,880
I was crazy.
No, I think that was my shirt

434
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,680
brushing against the microphone.
Can you hear this?

435
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,960
Oh no, I can't hear your music.
Wow.

436
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,400
Wow.
I can hear it.

437
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,520
I well, hold on.
I can actually hear the song in

438
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,560
my headphones.
Can you do you hear it?

439
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:25,080
I do not.
Do you hear the song?

440
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:32,040
No, I don't hear it, OK, But I
couldn't hear you when it was

441
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,680
playing.
That's a trip, man.

442
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,320
So we're going to have to figure
that one out and watch it.

443
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,520
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
But yeah, yeah, that's that's

444
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,240
that was that'd be 5.7 million
views on this.

445
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,800
It's 11 years.
It's the fifth single from the

446
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,120
album Auctun Baby.
Awesome album.

447
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:55,720
Awesome.
They're really good.

448
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,520
They're really good live.
I I don't know how good they are

449
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,520
not.
It's the age of them and stuff,

450
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,560
but back in the day.
My guess is they still sound

451
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,920
portion of Arizona was filmed.
My guess is they still sound

452
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,240
amazing.
I they do.

453
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,360
I I I would think so, because
they're not.

454
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,880
Their music is not that
complicated and he used his

455
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,520
voice effectively correct.
I will tell you though, if

456
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:29,520
you've heard him do acoustic,
it's not the same like he needs.

457
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,880
He needs the band behind him.
He needs all that going on

458
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,720
behind him for him to sound the
way he sounds because some.

459
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,160
Of the They're a They're a
strange band, man.

460
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,960
And well, I shouldn't.
I shouldn't say this because

461
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,440
almost every band is this way.
The bass player and the drummer

462
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,560
could survive anywhere, but the
uniqueness of the band comes

463
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,640
from the guitar player and the
singer for the most part.

464
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:01,840
There's exceptions to the rule,
but you know your layers.

465
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,080
Your different unique sounds,
they all come from effects on

466
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,200
The Voice or effects on the
guitar, right?

467
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,160
You don't have really any
effects on drums or bass.

468
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,360
Once again, there's exceptions
to the rule, but for the most

469
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:19,240
part, when you lay a song down,
the foundation of the song is

470
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,800
the bass and the drums 1st.
And then you layer all the just

471
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,280
like baking a cake, man, you got
to bake the cake 1st and then

472
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,480
you put the frosting and the
sprinkles and all that shit on

473
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,600
the top, right?
But that's how you build a song.

474
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,920
So the Edge and Bono.
Getting back to your point, The

475
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,880
Edge and Bono, yeah, they rely
on all those effects to make

476
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,360
that sound.
The edges sound is completely

477
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:48,240
based on delay, so if he doesn't
have a delay on his guitar, then

478
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,680
you ruin what makes the Edge the
edge, right.

479
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,000
His sound is that delay, and
he's perfected it better than

480
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,280
anyone.
You're right.

481
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,920
Certain bands can't pull off
acoustic.

482
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:04,360
I've I've there's stuff online.
No he doesn't he doesn't sound

483
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:08,560
anything like he sounds with the
band doing acoustic stuff.

484
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,320
It's just like holy shit who is
this And then wow that's Bono.

485
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,240
Like dude go back to the amps
and the and the Marshall stacks

486
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,320
get let's go get the music
popping behind you again because

487
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,000
he doesn't have that.
He doesn't have that voice you

488
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,080
know he just he just doesn't.
It needs.

489
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,280
You're like shit, man.
This ain't working for me.

490
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,040
It's filling the space behind
him, right?

491
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,520
No, no.
And I and I Bono, I mean, you

492
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,120
know that Bono, Morrison and and
and Vetter were my three.

493
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:40,800
Like, Oh my, the lead singer
said.

494
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,120
I just like epitomized this is,
if I could take a piece of all

495
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:47,240
of them and throw it into my
personality, I'm winning.

496
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,640
Well, I'll, I'll say that you
know Bono is one of those guys

497
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,840
that you.
I know people don't like him,

498
00:27:58,120 --> 00:28:02,560
but if you can't admit that he
was the voice of a generation,

499
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,040
then you're just kidding
yourself.

500
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,880
Because you too was the biggest
band on the planet for a long

501
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,120
time, right?
Oh yeah.

502
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,880
Oh yeah, yeah, Just.
And then and then going back to

503
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,760
we were just started discussing
Van Halen was the biggest band

504
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,080
in America for a while there
too.

505
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,560
So you had.
Absolutely.

506
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,880
You had extreme polar opposite
type of music, you know, I mean,

507
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,440
the grants are both based on
rock'n'roll, but you know,

508
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,040
different elements for sure.
But I'm still watching who's

509
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,240
going to ride you on horses
waiting for that specific scene.

510
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,720
Wait, there it is, right?
What?

511
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,680
What does that say?
4 minutes and 33 seconds into

512
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,360
the song. 4/30 4 minutes 33
seconds he's all pissed.

513
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,600
Off 433, HE misses the lyric
man.

514
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:51,200
Yeah, it's awesome.
It's it's, you know, it's great.

515
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,400
It's a great moment you get.
It's a great moment in

516
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,400
rock'n'roll.
So getting back to the point

517
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,640
that you just made though, what
does that say about the power of

518
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:09,320
music when a band as Hard Rock
as Van Halen can command the

519
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:15,040
entire planet, and then ten
years later a band as pop rock

520
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,960
as you too can command the
entire planet?

521
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,040
It doesn't matter what kind of
music it is, It just matters

522
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:26,720
that it's good, right?
It has to move you right and and

523
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,800
the biggest thing that right and
the biggest similarities between

524
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,440
the two bands, if we're not
talking anything but from the

525
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:38,000
musical aspect, neither one of
them were afraid to go in their

526
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,400
own direction with the next
release of their albums, right?

527
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,840
Like they didn't.
They were pigeonholed and that

528
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,320
that.
I think from a fan standpoint

529
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,880
that speaks volumes because you
know they're they're not putting

530
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,280
themselves in a box.
They're they're music.

531
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,800
They have to grow.
They have to change.

532
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,240
They have to evolve.
Especially you too, because you

533
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,720
2 embraced all that electronica
stuff and all the like you said

534
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,800
the distortion and the voice
vocal effects and and the

535
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,360
different elements of music,
music.

536
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,200
Like when remember when Van
Halen came out with Jump and

537
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,040
everybody's like what the fuck
is that he doing playing

538
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,480
keyboard?
I was just getting ready to say,

539
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,520
so let's.
Yeah, so let's.

540
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,120
So let's expound, let's expand
upon that subject just a little

541
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,520
bit.
You got, you have two schools of

542
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,440
thought, right?
You have the fans that as soon

543
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,040
as a band changes, they get
pissed off, right, Because they

544
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,200
feel like they own that band
from the beginning.

545
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,360
There's nothing more.
So there's nothing more exciting

546
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,680
when you're a new fan?
To a band that nobody knows

547
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,080
about, right?
All of a sudden you're like, hey

548
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,520
man, you got to check these guys
out.

549
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,160
You get a whole bunch of people
into them.

550
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,520
Now, their next album, they
gained some kind of popularity.

551
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,840
And for some reason, man, you
got these people who are just

552
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,720
like, they feel like they own
you as a band, right?

553
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,920
And you change a little bit and
they're not cool with it.

554
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,680
Metallica was one of those
bands.

555
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,040
There's so many people that
after Injustice for All, nobody

556
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,560
would listen to Metallica.
There's two schools of thought.

557
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,960
You either love them as a whole
or you jumped off the bandwagon

558
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,400
after Injustice For All.
Van Halen was the same way, man.

559
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,760
They got so much shit for coming
out with Jump and it ended up

560
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,440
being the biggest song that they
ever wrote.

561
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,720
So I would say that Eddie knew
what he was doing, right.

562
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,400
Did they ever have a top?
Did did.

563
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,160
Did they ever have a top?
A number one song.

564
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,960
Jump was a number one song, if I
remember right.

565
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,480
What's the number one?
OK, OK.

566
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,040
You're on the Google right
there.

567
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,320
Check it out, man.
But yeah, it's a Google machine.

568
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:56,720
Van Halen's number one song
tracks like Panama Drop, Dead

569
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,480
Legs and Hot for Teacher retain
the guitar focused sound that

570
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,480
Van Halen was known for, but it
would be jump.

571
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,120
They gave the band the very
first and only #1 single by the

572
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,960
end of the 1984 tour.
That's what I thought.

573
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,240
I was pretty sure that was their
only number one hit.

574
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,600
Yeah.
Good job, Mike.

575
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,120
I know a couple things about
music.

576
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,800
It is my favorite subject, you
know?

577
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,440
I know you do.
I know you do.

578
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,360
We've had many, many
conversations about music in our

579
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,360
time, so now we're having them
with all of our friends on the

580
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,400
Internet, right?
Speaking of which, one of our

581
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,520
new fans has a message for you
about farming, So I'm going to

582
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,880
tell you, let me pull it up
here.

583
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,240
My grandpa's got to put his
glasses on farming.

584
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,520
This was specifically for you
farming.

585
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,680
This is from Rhonda.
OK Rhonda.

586
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:54,040
Rhonda show she is a first time
listener, first time caller.

587
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,680
She is a first time listener,
first time caller.

588
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:04,040
OK, so messenger, she said.
To tell you she just finished

589
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,320
listening to the podcast.
I really enjoyed it.

590
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,800
Tell your buddy that to grow
good Peppers, add cow manure to

591
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,320
the soil, OK?
And her last comment was

592
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,440
personally because it it jacks
with me.

593
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:24,160
Maybe she meant to say potatoes.
I think that maybe she meant to

594
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,640
say potatoes.
Potatoes were great, but Nikki

595
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,600
likes them.
Yeah.

596
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,760
Or did you talk about Peppers
and I forgot about it?

597
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,520
On the last podcast I talked
about both.

598
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,480
I talked about potatoes because
we went back to the motherland

599
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,920
for potatoes.
You know, being Irish, German,

600
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,080
you know, we had a potato famine
in Ireland.

601
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,120
All right, I I remember now.
Potatoes, it's.

602
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,880
Coming back to me, yeah.
And then we did talk about the

603
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,040
Peppers, but the Peppers didn't
go very well.

604
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,560
So if there's lots of cows in
the neighborhood, I could just

605
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,240
walk up to somebody's backyard
and take a bucket and say, come

606
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:05,280
on cow shit, shit, cow shit, and
then I'll take the shit with me.

607
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:11,080
I passed the message along and
it was funny because her last

608
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,520
question was what the hell is a
sitar?

609
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,040
So I explained that one as well.
Right on.

610
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,360
I always direct everybody to the
beginning of wherever I may

611
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,120
roam, right?
Yes.

612
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,520
Yeah, that's it.
Because I didn't know that.

613
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,080
And you told me that.
I'm like, no shit.

614
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,639
Yeah, that's a sitar.
So here's here.

615
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,400
Here's a fun little thing for
you.

616
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,760
Hold on, hold on.
We talked to I think I, yeah, I

617
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,239
was on here running to stand.
OK, I'm holding.

618
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,600
I bet that's it.
Oh, no, go ahead.

619
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,440
Sorry, my bad.
Well, I was trying to see if I I

620
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,320
would love to be able to.
I think the Rattle and Hum

621
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,760
version of running the
Standstill is the one that I

622
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,480
fell in love with.
That album was just fucking

623
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,440
great, man.
I don't know how to start to

624
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,360
finish, just fucking unbelief.
It's funny how we start talking

625
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,520
about U2 or or Van Halen and now
we're talking about U2, you

626
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,920
know?
If I do like talking about

627
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,880
music, I sing.
It just goes all over the place.

628
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,760
But you know how I am too.
I mean, my whole thing with

629
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,200
music is I from a from a vocal
singer standpoint.

630
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:28,880
I always, I it's always what the
lyrics the lyrics have to draw

631
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,880
me in.
If I if I like the lyrics, then

632
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,400
it's just game over.
Like when I when I first threw

633
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,960
Pearl Jam I didn't really dig
them and then I got I got, which

634
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,120
is you know shocking.
But then I got somebody had

635
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,640
their their cassette tape and I
opened it up and I started

636
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,000
reading the lyrics and I'm like
holy shit, these are badass

637
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,400
lyrics.
And then it was just all over

638
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,120
you know all over.
So yeah, I'm all, I'm all about

639
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,480
lyrics and.
I apologize for that little

640
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,880
technical difficulty there.
My Mama was calling me Buddy at

641
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,960
all because I was rambling.
Oh, hi, Mom.

642
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,520
Yeah, she just got back from
vacation, so welcome back.

643
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,760
Where'd she go?
They went up to the great state

644
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,160
of Wisconsin.
Where was vacation?

645
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,600
They were vacationing up around
the Wisconsin Dells.

646
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,040
Yes.
So they got some cheese, some

647
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,400
queso.
My guess is they probably got

648
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,400
some cheese.
You know, it'd be kind of

649
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,560
shocking if you're with the
Wisconsin and then get Didn't

650
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,480
get cheese.
Say I just got an e-mail from

651
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,080
what is this VIP Nation tour
update?

652
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,320
I have no idea who these first
three bands are.

653
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,560
Doja Cat Gloria Trevi and two
friends, OK?

654
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,320
I'm going to say I've heard the
next three dropped her.

655
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,840
Majid Jordan now, Sam.
Sam Hunt.

656
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:59,840
I've heard of Travis.
Sam Hunt, I think he's is Travis

657
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,000
Scott Blink one.
Is he is Yeah.

658
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,720
And is Travis Scott Blink 182?
Yes, Sir, He absolutely is.

659
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,280
OK, OK, good.
There you go.

660
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,520
So I didn't make a fool of
myself on our Chris and Mike

661
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,280
show episode #2 Season #1.
You know what's fucked up?

662
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,080
I'm just going to tell you.
So foreigners still playing,

663
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,280
right?
Foreigners still out there

664
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,760
touring.
And they're calling it the Fair

665
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,800
World Tour, but there's no
original member in Foreigner.

666
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:29,120
How the fuck do you have a tour?
And you call your Fair War tour,

667
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,680
but all the original members of
the band no longer are playing

668
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,760
in said band.
So it's just the I don't.

669
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,680
Know because the entire music
has had nothing to do with

670
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,600
Foreigner back.
Hold on it.

671
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,240
Is Mick still there?
That's fucked up, Mike.

672
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,880
I think Mick still might be.
Are you sure Mix?

673
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,280
Is he gone now?
From what I understood, man,

674
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,800
it's it's Fleetwood Mac is not
the original lineup at all.

675
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,360
Fleetwood.
Oh, hold on, you said Foreigner

676
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,040
musicians.
You said foreigner.

677
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,000
Yeah, yeah.
Now you're excited.

678
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,080
I just typed in Fleetwood Mac
and I said Foreigner, what the

679
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,640
fuck is up with my head, man?
That was crazy.

680
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,560
And I'm not even high.
Nor am I.

681
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,000
No, I don't want to.
Never list who's touring?

682
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,080
OK, let's see.
So here's here's the members

683
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,720
turning with former foreigner's
current touring incarnation.

684
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,440
Features from guitarist Bruce
Watson, keyboardist Michael

685
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,080
Bloomstein, singer Kelly Hanson,
bassist Jeff Pilsen, guitarist

686
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,640
Louis Maldonado and drummer
Chris Frazier.

687
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,720
OK, there are.
That tells me there are no

688
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:40,240
original members because Mick
was the last one there.

689
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,160
So Foreigner, original lineup.
We'll come, we'll compare here.

690
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,280
There is original members Lou
Graham, which obviously Lou

691
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,320
Graham.
Oh yeah, Lou Graham, Mick Jones,

692
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:56,360
Ian McDonald, Ed Gagliardo and
Dennis Elliott.

693
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,960
And keyboardist Al Greenwood.
Yeah.

694
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,280
And Mick was the last one there,
and he was still there the last

695
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:08,120
time that I saw them.
But that was about 2810.

696
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,800
Somewhere around there.
Yeah.

697
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,720
Yeah.
So I think the only one there,

698
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,600
it looks like Ed Gagliardi.
Is that what I said?

699
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:19,840
Yeah.
So the only original member

700
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,480
still in that band is the bass
player, Ed, which we know bass

701
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,440
players can, you know, go
anywhere.

702
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,400
That's it.
So I'm sorry, I'm not going to

703
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,480
see foreigners to watch Ed do
this.

704
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,760
I'd rather see Lou Graham do his
thing.

705
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,280
But.
Actually, based on what you just

706
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,640
said for their active members.
Jeff Pilsen is the bass player.

707
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,320
He was the bass player in
Docken.

708
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,840
That was Docken's original bass
player.

709
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:49,280
Oh, So what is that doing in the
band?

710
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,680
Because Ed's listed as the band
as.

711
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,840
AI wonder if he's playing.
I wonder if he's playing

712
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,280
keyboard.
Let's see.

713
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,040
Bruce.
Michael, Colin Basses.

714
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,600
No, I'm sorry, I was wrong.
He was that listed.

715
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,720
So it's not so there is no
original member left.

716
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,000
No, there are no original
members based on that line up

717
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:17,720
you gave me.
Yeah, yeah, You know, which is

718
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,080
just who's the last concert you
saw or what's the last concert

719
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,760
you saw?
Oh shit, man.

720
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:29,000
Let me think.
Actually, the last concert I saw

721
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,680
would have been. 2000, The Death
Magnetic Tour.

722
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:38,160
The opening night.
Yeah, it was the opening night

723
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,760
of the Death Magnetic Tour.
What's that arena down the road

724
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,080
from where I lived with Kevin?
They played there where the

725
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,320
Coyotes play.
Oh, HeLa River, HeLa River

726
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,440
Arena.
I don't know if.

727
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:51,720
That's that's where we saw him
at.

728
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,240
OK, Wow.
Interesting.

729
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:02,640
Yeah, and that fucking pussy.
We were in the front row, so

730
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:08,200
there was a there was a just, it
was like the heavens parted,

731
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,800
man.
And there was a big opening

732
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,520
right to the gate, right in
front of James.

733
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,920
And we went up there and we're
probably there for, I don't

734
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,160
know, 15 minutes.
And he's like, I don't want to

735
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,840
be up front anymore, man.
Let's move to the back.

736
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,680
I was like, Jesus Christ, man,
you're in the front row of a

737
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,560
fucking Metallica show for the
second time in my life.

738
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,440
I went back there with him.
Yeah, you should have said bye.

739
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:37,840
I should have.
I would have been like bye.

740
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,360
Didn't see you after the show.
Yeah the only the only shows

741
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,320
I've ever been front row like
you know kissing the stage is is

742
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,720
both Ultra Bridge concerts.
I I Counting Crows because Nikki

743
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:52,360
loves Counting Crows.
I I I think that's the last one

744
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,440
I saw.
I like Counting Crows.

745
00:41:55,040 --> 00:42:00,000
This is, this is, this is
October, August, I think it was.

746
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,880
They came Washington Federal
Theater, used to be Dodge

747
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,000
Theater.
You know we were second row.

748
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,080
And of course the guy in front
of me was was, you know, 65,

749
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:14,760
right.
So I put Nikki on the aisle.

750
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,400
I had seats one and two second
row.

751
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,160
So I put her on the aisle so she
could make sure she could see

752
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,480
because it's never ending.
When we go somewhere, she can't

753
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:22,920
see.
Not that she's short.

754
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:31,120
She's like 5, I'm 6 feet, she's
5-6, I think 5453, something

755
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:35,080
like that.
But yeah, as soon as the dude

756
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,920
stood up on my fox, so my entire
night was was bassy dude right

757
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,040
in front of me, shoulders,
everything.

758
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,480
So I had to either go this way
or go that way.

759
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,440
I don't want to see anything.
That's always so much fun.

760
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:48,400
So it was.
It was.

761
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,360
And the reason why?
Well, and the reason why for

762
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,320
that is, is Counting Crows don't
have a pit.

763
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,360
There's not a mosh pit.
You don't mosh at Counting

764
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,280
Crows.
You're sitting down and standing

765
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,360
up.
So they had seats set up,

766
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,840
whereas Alter Bridge you're, you
know, there's no chairs.

767
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,120
So legit.
The first Alter Bridge concert,

768
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,800
I was on Tremonti's side and
this last one I was we were dead

769
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,600
center.
So you know Miles was right

770
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,280
there, you know, which is cool.
I had this T-shirt that said

771
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,960
believe in yourself.
And at the end of the show, when

772
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,600
they're doing all their, you
know, tossing up guitar picks

773
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:24,680
and drumsticks and shit, you
know, we're just standing, you

774
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,000
know, and like straight up just
looks at my shirt and then

775
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:31,320
follows up to my eyes and he's
like, which I thought was.

776
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:32,280
Cool.
That's awesome, man.

777
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,080
I met him.
I met them all in.

778
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,200
I met them all in 17.
I think I told you that before.

779
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:41,160
Super nice guys.
Just super nice guys, like, you

780
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,320
know, not, not wrapped around
what they do at all.

781
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,840
Just grounded, humble.
And I think part of that's

782
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:53,880
because I think Creed took the
three of them up and over the

783
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,680
edge.
And then when the staff left,

784
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:01,840
Miles came in and ironically
enough, I learned that Brian

785
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,680
Marshall, the bass player, he
was out of, out of Creed an

786
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,800
ultra bridge for a while due to
his alcoholism, due to raging

787
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,440
Alcoholics.
So I'm like, that's cool.

788
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,040
I did not know that, You know,
recovery and stuff.

789
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:16,400
Not either.
He's got a whole thing on it

790
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,040
somewhere on on YouTube.
I was watching.

791
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:23,920
I did something on the TV and it
was Brian Marshall, for love of

792
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:24,800
the music, I think.
Oh.

793
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,720
If I look for that, I think
that's what it was called.

794
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,320
I'm.
I'm going to look at it right

795
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:32,680
now and just see if that was
what it is.

796
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:34,920
Yeah.

Brian Marshall is on YouTube.
It's it was released by Alter

802
00:44:50,240 --> 00:44:51,920

Had 66,000 views for what that
you know, whatever.

804
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:03,240
But he from the discovery of his
tone to his Rd. of sobriety and

805
00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:07,400
life on the road.
So anytime I come across an

806
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,800
alcoholic being, you know,
approaching 19 years in February

807
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:17,760
of 24, I like, I like to to
learn about their journey

808
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,320
because everybody's journey is
different, which, you know, one

809
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,000
of these episodes will talk
about our journeys.

810
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:24,760
Oh absolutely.
But it was it was it was

811
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,440
interesting that I because I
didn't know that I had no idea

812
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,080
he he was he's a recovering
alcoholic, which is cool.

813
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,920
You know I I need to actually
watch it.

814
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,000
I had, I had stumbled on it for
something and I I didn't watch

815
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,160
it.
But there's a whole, there's a

816
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,760
whole episode on it.
It's a whole show on it.

817
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,760
It's not if anyone say it's like
an hour.

818
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,520
But as I scroll through this
now, it's not I'm not finding,

819
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,600
I'm just finding snippets of it.
But there's actually a whole.

820
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,120
There's a whole episode, a whole
story behind it.

821
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:58,880
I'll definitely have to check
that out.

822
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:03,280
Man, that sounds awesome.
Yeah, there's a whole lot of

823
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,960
musicians named Brian Marshall,
too.

824
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,680
Brian Marshall?
Rock Rubin, Mark Rubin.

825
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,800
You know, the guy that helped
Bruno Mars with Uptown Funk live

826
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,200
at the 4th annual Festival of
Texas Fiddling?

827
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,080
I doubt that song, by the way.
I doubt that's the actual.

828
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,480
Oh, it's a great song, man.
It's a.

829
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,120
Great.
That song doesn't make you want

830
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:27,600
to move.
There's something wrong with

831
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,840
you, right?
Actually, that was one of the

832
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,800
candy ass teeny boppers.
It's right.

833
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,400
And that's that's where it's
going with this.

834
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,720
That's one of those.
He was a candy ass teeny, you

835
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:44,080
know, teeny bop or whatever I
used to call scouters, you know,

836
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,640
music she'd listen to.
The only one that I ever felt

837
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,200
would would have sustainability
was Bruno Mars.

838
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,000
Just when I learned that he
played all the instruments on

839
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,960
his on his album, right.
He's like a he's like a a small

840
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,560
Mexican version of Prince.
Exactly, probably the same time,

841
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,480
just.
Him and Prince, he oozes talent,

842
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,440
you know?
Oh, big time him and yeah, I

843
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:06,800
mean him and Prince Stallone,
man.

844
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,400
I mean the Prince.
Just fuck.

845
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,480
Not a lot of people realized
that Prince was so musically

846
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,000
talented that he played every
single instrument on every album

847
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,680
he ever did.
That's why I made that post the

848
00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:19,600
other day. 27 different
instruments he could play.

849
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,080
Yeah.
And he played them all on his

850
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,040
first album or second album.
I know.

851
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,880
I liked it.
Oh yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

852
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,480
yeah, yeah.
Oh, Bruno.

853
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,320
Bruno.
Oh, I didn't know this Bruno.

854
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:38,360
Mars and Morse day and the time
did a did a Prince tribute.

855
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,920
That's fuck.
Got to watch that shit at the

856
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,600
15th annual Grammy Awards.
And he was wearing Prince's

857
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,120
suit, man.
He's wearing Prince's purple

858
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:48,400
suit.
Right.

859
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,160
That's totally awesome.
He's got the guitar, yeah.

860
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,200
Right.
I never saw that either.

861
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:54,760
I'll have to look that up, man.
Good for him.

862
00:47:54,840 --> 00:48:01,240
I hope he's doesn't.
Yeah. 59th Annual 2017 Grammys.

863
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,920
There's a tribute for Prince.
Oh, stop the commercial shit.

864
00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:10,160
His chick's talking about it.

865
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,720
There we go.
Yeah, it's badass, dude.

00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:18,680
They were.
They sounded like they were

867
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,680
doing let's go crazy.
But the chick wouldn't shut up

868
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,240
talking.
That's commenting on it.

869
00:48:22,240 --> 00:48:25,480
So trying to actually see if
they played the video.

870
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,800
Yeah, Bernard does.
Let's go crazy.

871
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,840
Oh man, I want it.

00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,400
that up.
That'll be awesome.

873
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,440
That song just fucking ripped
Bruno Mars.

874
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,840
Let's see.
This is one thing we'll have to

875
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,360
learn that you can learn as an
editing standpoint of this.

876
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:47,920
You can drop clips, You can drop
what we refer to somehow and

877
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,720
make it clickable underneath the
the our podcast as we drop them.

878
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,960
But yeah, holy shit, 12 million
views from three years ago.

879
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,400
Just Google Bruno Mars.
Let's get crazy.

880
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:00,960
It's the second one that pops
up.

881
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,680
Yeah.
The first one that pops up is,

882
00:49:03,720 --> 00:49:07,480
is 5.8 million views.
And it was six years ago, the

883
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,480
official video.
But the one that did three years

884
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,320
ago with 12 million looks like
it's a it's coming from from the

885
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:19,040
crowd where the one, oh, it's a
rehearsal.

886
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,760
The first one pops up the
rehearsal for it, which is I'd

887
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,640
be kind of like watch your
little back behind the scenes,

888
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:26,840
you know, behind the scenes
stuff.

889
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,520
Oh yeah, I loved it like that.
He's no, he did a Little Richard

890
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,360
tribute too.
Yeah, Little Richard tribute,

891
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,120

He says he steals the show in

892
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,360
2017.
But Princess, let's go crazy.

893
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:42,080
Well, I was with you, man.
I was way more He's badass,

894
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,000
dude.
I was way more into that dude as

895
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,440
a pop singer than anybody else
that was out when he first came

896
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:49,800
out.
I agree with you.

897
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,280
There was just something about
him that he just had that it

898
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,080
factor, man.
He commanded the stage for you

899
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,200
know, you hit the nail on the
head for being a little dude.

900
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,520
He should get lost in the crowd,
but he's so larger than his

901
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:08,240
persona, you know, he just or
he's larger than his stature.

902
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,320
His persona is larger than his
stature.

903
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,920
You know, he just seems like
he's 60 foot tall on the stage

904
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,520
and then you see him and he's
like 5 foot 4.

905
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,440
You know, some people just have
that ability.

906
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,880
You had that ability to be able
to walk on the stage and command

907
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,760
it, you know?
You have to be able to wrap the

908
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,960
people around your finger and if
you can't do that you're going

909
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,040
to lose people quick.
But I just.

910
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:40,360
I just yeah, my whole thing was
just you got to get yeah Bruno

957
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,160
Not a single one of them is
taller than 5 foot 9 inches.

958
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:09,400
Bruce Dickinson is 5/6.
See, now he's another one that I

959
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:14,000
didn't Eddie Vedder's foot.
Bruce is the one I asked about

960
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,400
because I've never seen him
standing next to anyone that

961
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,600
made him look short.
The only reason I knew about

962
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,760
Bono and whoever else I
mentioned?

963
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,920
Oh, Mellencamp.
Because I've seen them standing

964
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,920
next to people who are tall,
Yeah.

965
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,000
Bruce is one of those people.
He he looks larger than life on

966
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,360
stage, man.
That dude is amazing as a front

967
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:36,120
man, absolutely amazing.
And he can fly.

968
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,960
That explains a lot.
And Bruce can fly a commercial

969
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,280
airline.
Yeah, he can fly at 747.

970
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:42,680
Oh, yeah.
Oh yeah.

971
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:47,200
And and he was bullied as a
child, like, like, like

972
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,720
painfully bullied because his
his mouth was so big.

973
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:53,360
Like he just, he got ridiculed
like crazy, Especially when he

974
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,120
was at school, which in in
England he went to one of those,

975
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,360
you know, boring schools.
And like legit, he got bullied

976
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,640
so intensely that he actually
took up fencing as a way to

977
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,920
like, you know, raise up arms
against his oppressors.

978
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,840
You're right, Master Fencer too.
I forgot about that.

979
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,080
Really.
Totally.

980
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:15,400
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

981
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:20,960
But yeah, straight up bullied,
like like evilly.

982
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,760
So I don't know what the word
is, you know what I mean?

983
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:29,400
Just like tormented to no end.
So picture of Bruno Mars

984
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,320
standing next to Wow Keenan from
Keenan and Kel.

985
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,000
So Keenan must be short too
because Bruno's we said was 55

986
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:42,080
and and Keenan's only like a
nose up higher than him so he

987
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:47,280
must be like 5-6, seven.
Amazing how short these people.

988
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:48,880
That's why he never made it.
Dude, I'm too tall.

989
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,440
I'm too tall to be a singer in
the world of singers.

990
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,720
What are you, 6 plus feet tall?
It just doesn't work.

991
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:55,960
I can't.
I can't get on those.

992
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,000
Yeah, I can't get on those light
trusses.

993
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,160
Well, that's why you were
hanging from them.

994
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:04,520
It should have been smaller.
I should, right?

995
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,240
Right.
Oh, now here's wow.

996
00:55:06,240 --> 00:55:10,200
Here's surprising cat filled 6-1
large.

997
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,040
Yeah, he's tall, that little man
syndrome.

998
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,960
Kirk Ham, Kirk Hammett's 5-7 and
Cliff Cliff was the tallest of

999
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,280
the bunch at Six Two.
I knew he was tall.

1000
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,680
You can tell that looking at him
on stage.

1001
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,880
Yeah, I did too.
Yeah, Hatfield.

1002
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,560
And, yeah, Hatfield and Cliff
Burton always towered over Lars

1003
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,320
and Kirk.
Yeah.

1004
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:35,240
Oh, yeah.
Well, yeah.

1005
00:55:35,240 --> 00:55:37,000
Lars is tiny dude.
He could be a Midget.

1006
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,000
Like, we say that Midget.
Or is it vertically challenged?

1007
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,280
Yeah, whatever.
Interesting.

1008
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,640
Whatever.
Interesting man.

1009
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:51,920
Marilyn Manson.
What do you think he is?

1010
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,360
Because he looks like he's
really tall, 61.

1011
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,120
He's the same height as as head
fill.

1012
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,280
Yeah, I would have guessed with
heels.

1013
00:55:59,960 --> 00:56:02,400
With heels.
Well then, he's 65.

1014
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,000
Yeah, it doesn't say what he is
with heels.

1015
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,080
Aussie's 510, I believe that.
I believe that Trent Reznor's

1016
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,240
only 5-7.
It's funny when you type in

1017
00:56:11,240 --> 00:56:13,240
meatloaf because I'm going to
see how tall meatloaf was.

1018
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,520
First two things I get is
meatloaf recipes.

1019
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:19,960
I'm going to guess meatloaf was
about 6/4.

1020
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:24,200
Meatloaf was 510.
Wow, he's 510, my son just

1021
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,720
chimed in by Marine son Hoorah.
Thank him for his service.

1022
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,720
He's coming home 43 days.
That'll be fun.

1023
00:56:31,720 --> 00:56:34,280
I'll have to get him on a on a
on a podcast.

1024
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,640
That'll be awesome, man.
Absolutely.

1025
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,640
I took him to the radio show.
Yeah, I yeah, I took him in the

1026
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:45,240
sky both to the radio show when
I was recording the show.

1027
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,440
That was fun.
All right.

1028
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,120
Well, I got to pee again, so I
think that's a good time to wrap

1029
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,080
it up.
All right, brother.

1030
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,840
So what we learned today, we
learned that we learned that

1031
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,880
Sammy and Dave are both good,
good at what they do based on

1032
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,360
what we're talking about.
Yes, I enjoy them equally as

1033
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:09,160
much each because without Dave,
with right, because without

1034
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,440
Dave, Van Halen wouldn't have
been Van Halen, but without

1035
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:15,280
Sammy Van Halen wouldn't have
been Van Halen, right.

1036
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,680
Because you know, United States
Van Halen was dominant, Sammy

1037
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,600
came in.
It was boom worldwide.

1038
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,280
And then we learned in the
lovely world of music that a

1039
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:29,280
decade later you get the new
biggest rock band, the world,

1040
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,360
which is U2, which came from
Ireland.

1041
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,040
So you have and and where were
where were Eddie and Alex from?

1042
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:35,240
They were from somewhere else,
right?

1043
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:37,960
Eddie and Alex were from
Denmark, correct?

1044
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,120
They weren't.
They weren't there.

1045
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:41,880
It was there.
It was.

1046
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,000
I knew they were from somewhere
else.

1047
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:44,680
Correct.
Yeah.

1048
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:49,400
So you know, we covered the V
and EU of rock'n'roll TUV

1049
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:50,760
backwards.
TUV.

1050
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,000
Yes.
You know, maybe next time we

1051
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,080
talk about Tesla.
They're a good band.

1052
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,480
I like Tesla, I like his.
I like the mechanical

1053
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,960
restaurants.
Modern Day Cowboy was my one of

1054
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:00,120
my all time favourites from
them.

1055
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,240
We actually opened up for three
of the members of Tesla.

1056
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,320
They were called the Sofa Kings
at the time.

1057
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,880
Right on.
Yeah, I would say at some point

1058
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,680
we will cover the biggest band
in the world, which would be

1059
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,080
Metallica at the time.
That'll have to be a whole

1060
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,080
episode unto itself.
Yes, we can.

1061
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:19,640
Yeah.
Metallica is currently the

1062
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,000
biggest band in the world, by
the way.

1063
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:26,440
Well, that's old, right?
Oh yeah, yeah, next to Taylor

1064
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,320
Swift.
Kidding.

1065
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:32,840
Kidding.
Well Taylor just did become a

1066
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,760
billionaire with whatever album
she just released that's I I'll

1067
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,840
give we can we can we'll close
with this as a teaser because we

1068
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,120
talked about Mataka that's the
one thing that that because I

1069
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,560
hated Lars for what he did with
the whole Napster shit right.

1070
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,240
Like that was like,
motherfucker, you got yeah,

1071
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,880
we're God and you're gonna.
Yeah.

1072
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:51,800
We're gonna talk about why he
did that, though.

1073
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:56,960
Just need, right?
Well, I'm saying I, I, I kind

1074
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,040
of, I'll leave it there because
I know where you're going to go

1075
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,400
because we're probably going to
go the same place.

1076
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,520
But because of what he did and
enabled people like Taylor Swift

1077
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,800
to become billionaires because
they own the rights to their

1078
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:10,760
music from day one.
Especially since like when when

1079
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:15,120
Hollow council when we started
our path with Platinum Plus

1080
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,800
Records under Universal is that
weird little time where

1081
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:22,200
everything was shifting from
labels to self to self promoting

1082
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,000
You didn't need distribution
anymore.

1083
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:28,360
You didn't because the Apple
Music thing was was coming down

1084
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:33,160
the pipe and we got stuck in
that box like there was nothing

1085
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:38,000
you know labels didn't know what
to do and and the download side

1086
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,800
was just starting.
So it's like why do we do, how

1087
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,080
do we do this how do we make
this profitable for everybody in

1088
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:46,440
the labels obviously like fuck
you this is how we make our

1089
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,080
money.
You have to you can't have

1090
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:53,040
control.
So that was interesting to to be

1091
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:58,720
on that in in that at that time
at the level that even though we

1092
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:02,080
really had a level but it was it
was interesting I still.

1093
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,640
And you and I and you and I were
in two different bands at that

1094
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:09,280
time because I remember you
trying to get us hooked up with

1095
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:10,760
that same label that you were
on.

1096
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,560
So that'll be a that'll
definitely be another subject

1097
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:18,240
for another day for sure.
Yeah, because that was a very

1098
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:22,160
interesting time in my life too.
What was that?

1099
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:24,400
Yeah.
Was that Angel and the Batman?

1100
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,000
Is that the Band, The Angel and
the Batman?

1101
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,560
That was the band I was in at
that time, Yes.

1102
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,360
Correct.
Yeah.

1103
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:33,080
All right.
Cool.

1104
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:34,760
All right.
All right.

1105
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:39,760
Well.
Hey, it's Chris Denham, AKA the

1106
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:41,520
Iron Doc.
That's Mike Michaels.

1107
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,520
This is Mike Michaels.
I would like to give a shout out

1108
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,640
to my good friend Sunshine, who
without this wouldn't be

1109
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:52,320
possible because between you and
her, you guys were instrumental

1110
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,520
in me being motivated.
Because I haven't.

1111
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:56,680
You know, sometimes I need a
kick in the ass.

1112
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,480
So thank you, sunshine.
I appreciate it.

1113
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:00,880
Have a Have a good night.
She's the sunshine of your life.

1114
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:02,320
Name the band.
