Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Walt and we're back.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It is another rock ninety five five top five, got
the entire gang in the studio. We have got another year.
We've picked our favorite songs from that year. We're gonna
go do the roundtable thing and we're gonna throw down
what our favorite songs are and why. And it's a
good one. We're moving up last time. I think we
(00:22):
did nineteen eighty three. This time around two thousand and five.
And if you look a lot of great records that year.
So are you guys ready?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Let's go? All right, let's go this side. Gonna start
with Maria. Okay, all right, that was a big year.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I had to narrow down a lot of songs, but
I have to give it to my chemical romances.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I'm not okay, I promise. Why does that make so
much sense?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It was a defining song for who I am as
a person.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
It stuck. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Soga a song written about Gerard Way finding out that
a girl that he was really into, well he knew
that she had a boyfriend. Then he found like a
bunch of photos that they had taken together, and he
got really mad and he wrote, I'm not okay, I
promise with one of the best music videos that my
preteen heart had ever seen where they're in high school.
It's almost like sketch comedy in that music video. So good.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So do you remember the first time you heard that song?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Oh God, I don't know if I know the first
time that I heard that song, because I really consumed
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge sort of all at one time.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Okay, that whole album.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
So I don't know if that's i'd know the first time,
but it was a regular YouTube visit for sixth grade
of me watching and that long luscious hair is good one.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
That's a good, good choice though, really good.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I loved playing MCR I think just the other day, yeah,
and I was like, that was one where I'm like,
if you call me, I'm not answering for four minutes
because I freaking love that song. It's such a cool
flashback and it's a little bit of a surprise.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
To hear on We Love We love our listeners, But
there are those songs that sometimes when they come on,
it's it's like, oh my god, I am absorbing this
just like everybody else is out there. And I love
that moment too, all right, Clinger, Oh, we're gonna we're
gonna go. Let's go Clinger and then we'll move to
the Gentleman with a bowler. All right, all right?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
H So two thousand and five, I'm living in Jacksonville, Florida,
living in Jack's Beach, Eleventh Avenue North, but working at
Planet Radio H in Jacksonville and Wacko's Gentlemen's Club. Wackos
Gentlemen's Club. So strip club's in Jacksonville at the time.
If you wanted full nudity, you're drinking coffee, no alcohol.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Can I step in for a sec? Of course?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
So?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Uh, did they have a rock venue next door?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
There's not to whackas okay, because there was a strip
club next to a performance venue that I played once
in Jacksonville Beach back in the well. This is in Jacksonville,
but I love jackson Yeah, okay, I stepped back.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
No, that's that's totally cool.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Did you ever play the Freebird It sounds familiar, Yeah,
but they're closed now, Okay, go ahead. So we were
doing an appearance with a band whose lead singer's name
M Shadows and the Rev. I mean this is two
thousand and five, The Rev. The entire band and uh.
And so we're doing this thing at Wacos and it's
(03:21):
a bikini bar. So my point is if you want
to drink, they're in bikinis or bikinis.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And so we.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Do we do a we do a meet and greet
with even sevenfold and uh and it was just spectacular
and it was kind of a sign of the times.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
It's like a stamp of two thousand and five because
you know this bikini bar, it's it's Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
And the song is backcountry great and they didn't play there,
but they played later that night. And back Country I
find to be it's like a freaking throat punch right
when it starts, yet thirty seconds later it's melodic with
them Shadow's voice and the rev is just zacky vengeance.
The entire band Sinister Gates. I love that song and
(04:10):
A seven X is one of my favorite bands because
I find that it goes so melodic and yet is
just a metal rager when all within the same song.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I think that's what makes that band work.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And for those not in the note, we're talking of
Ben Sevenfold, yeah, that they they.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Have that melodic aspect to them, that that they's.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Hit hard, but they also have the melody, and I
think that a lot of bands sometimes, you know, it's
all about how hard can we go?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
But you gotta have the melody. You gotta have you
gotta have somebody.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
You have to be able to sing along to the
song for it to actually connect.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Ah Dog melody is there for pussies.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
And as a as a side note, that night, the
concert was I don't even know where that concert. I
guess maybe Memorial Stadium, so it was an indoor like
arena rather and this They do their intro and you,
if you're paying attention, you're looking up and you're.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Like, holy crap, here comes this guy hanging from a
noose and he's in a Dicky's worksuit. And it's a
real guy. It's a real guy. It's it's not a dummy.
And he's kind of moving, is working well, I mean
he's that's part of the prop.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
So he's hanging from a noose and that's how they
start the show.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You just look at everybody's face when you said that
that's a terrible story.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
You would have expected that to just be a prop
and not a real person. And when I asked m
Shadows maybe two years ago, When I interviewed him about that,
I was like, because that's one of those shows and
that's one of those props and it's a production where
you're like, goddamn, that's just spectacular. And he's like, that
was a famous stunt guy that we had out on
that tour, and he said that was there was a
(05:50):
malfunction in his in the harness in which he was wearing,
and so he started to lower down and we realized
that his harness wasn't taking the load as it should have, right,
and so they had to bring him back up real
quick and readjust because it was actually at that show.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, wow, so that they didn't accidentally hang their stuff down, But.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
That's pretty cool. I mean they could have done with
just a dummy, yeah, but they ripped it down, man,
taking it to the next level, just like their music.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And that's hard for me.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
In two thousand and five to present a seven X
is my favorite with back Country because the second Audio
Slave record I think dropped that same year and that's
one of my all time favorite pants.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, Chap, I.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Know everyone, I'm very comfortable down here.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
It's fine. I want to go to the Southeast as well.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Notice the way he's wearing his headphones not to jack
up his beautiful hair.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, that's important.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah, two thousand and five, it was a time where
a lot of other people in different bands got together.
It was definitely kind of a time and rawck history.
It's also a family affair I want to talk about,
not just like a literal family, which I'm about to
get to, but a family of people who start on
the road. And I was on the road with them
with a band called Harry Cravosse. The band I'm talking
(07:02):
about is Dark New Day Brother. I love that record.
Brett Hesler, Virgo's malow Right and did a little stit
with Creed. Then you have Clint Lowry from Seven Dust,
his brother Cory, an whole bunch of other people.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
That song rips right out of the gate.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
That that the guitar work is like sexy, almost immediately
get a boner.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
It's just like zero to shaft and the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
You know, last time we did this thing, I got
a chance to spend a little time with you guys,
and I talked about how the song needs to have dynamics.
It needs to have like everyone having their moment that song.
Everyone has their moment every member of the band is bringing.
It is wonderful and it's also a big video game
a thing for those who are video maris. Do you
remember that song from video games?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I'm sorry I've let you down.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You have.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
So I wasn't doing video games in two thousand and five.
I was shagging across the Pacific rim.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I think that's code. But yeah, that's A. That's that's
my fun. That's A.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That's a really good one. I haven't thought about that
band in such a long time. I might have to
pull that out.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Listen to it again, holds up. It's brilliant. If it
came out right now, it would be like, oh, this
is a revelation.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Probably would.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You're right, And I also appreciate the reference to virgos Merlow.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Yeah, totally like an Orlando thing. Do you ever go
to Lollipops and Daytona ba, Yes, Lollipops?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I did. I did SHORTZ with Joe Elliott the one time.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Between Lollipops and Daytona and the Shark Lounge where which
they actually had a shark tank that was the dance
floor and they had for the strippers and they're dancing
on little mini sharks, tiny sharks.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It was.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
It was also one of those bikini balls so you
can drink, and they were a bit hansy.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Sometimes the strippers were like pregnant or had like, uh,
like bullet wounds that were still healing, and they were
just trying to make a living.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
And nothing better in Florida than a labor day pregnant
bikini contest.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I love this country. I love it. So when's that anyway?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
That's my London songe.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Price Will and chest Jet Backsman. All right, we're up
to Mike. Mike, Mike, Mike, i'p in here.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
What do you?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
What do you got for the year two thousand and five?
What's your jam?
Speaker 8 (09:17):
I was pretty fresh out of high school and uh,
I was like twenty two years old and living in
Seattle at the time, just starting my radio career and
so uh and as sort of a mess of a
person as a lot of people are. At twenty two,
Chris Cornell's Be your or Audio Slaves Be Yourself came out,
and it was just such a reminder as I was
driving too fast or maybe drinking a little too much,
(09:38):
like just relax, calm down, be yourself. And then I
was very into the lore of, you know, the rock
scene in Seattle and all that stuff, and so it
was really cool and crazy. Later in life, in twenty seventeen,
I was living there when Chris Cornell died, and it
was the craziest thing. Like the whole city shut down.
Businesses weren't open, like it was wild.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Every marquee in.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
The he you know, had what's the line, no one
sings like you anymore? I think, I mean, it was
just incredibly goosebumps even thinking about it. They have a
radio station there called kate e XP, and they held
like a full vigil and like thousands and thousands of.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
People showed up.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
An incredible musician, a legend in his own right. And
I really liked Audio Slave too.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I liked, I mean, what's not to love though, because
you have basically it's rage against the machine, swap out
the singers for Chris Cornell, one of the greatest voices
in rock, and how do you not go wrong with
that recipe? Actually, this morning I heard a song and
obviously it was either like a Highway whichever one you
played on the morning mosh pit, and.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It it hit me that there aren't these big guitar chords.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
In the chorus, he's actually playing single notes and it's
lifted up its eyem the highway, and it lifted up
the chorus without having big giant guitar chords, and like
that is so different than what you hear for rock.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Take.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I think Chris Corno's voice is actually a guitar. He's
like base lee guitar. It's an instrument for sure.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
For sure. Yeah, that is a great record.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I love that song and to your point, arguably, in
my opinion, I think Chris Cornell is the single greatest
rock voice.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Oh that's my We should we should do that. I
say top three for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I just love it so damn much.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
And I also say Tom Morello, I feel like he
is reserved a bit on those audio slave records. As
you said, he simplifies it and he could just get
as crazy as he wants.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I think that's on purpose. It's a point because because
the whole thing. And I can't speak for him, but
I think it was at least my perception that it
was trying to be a little bit more commercial.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Yeah, fair enough, you know, although that particular record didn't
have a lot of I don't even know that it
would have had a radio single on it.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Did it?
Speaker 8 (11:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Off, I don't think it did.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Coming out swinging with coaches, it was just like, oh yeah,
the table is said, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You give me is gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
But don't you think that is a sign of greatness too,
when you have one of the best guitar players in
the world who sort of throttles it back on purpose.
Speaker 9 (12:12):
Yeah, And I think that's so important for musicians to
serve the song right, Like, like you said, it's so
easy to come out, Okay, we got a chorus, let's
bang on the cords, let's lift it up.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Which is what I'm so used to hearing.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
Right, But because Chris Cornell's voice was so dynamic, he
didn't need to do that with the guitar, right, He
could do it with his voice, and by pulling back
on the guitar, it allowed the voice to be more showcased.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah. I think that that's a great point.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It definitely showcased the voice and I Am the Highway,
which could be a different album, but nonetheless it's the
band is special because of it.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
But then you turn around and you have a song
like Gasoline, where everybody has said, Yo, let's just go
to a thousand miles an hour on this, but they
didn't do that for every song on every record.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
What makes it a dynamic? It makes it great? Agree,
I love it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Great choice, Mike, think you, thank you, thank you? All right, Maris,
you're up two thousand and five? What are you listening to?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Him?
Speaker 7 (13:07):
That lovely year I was graduating from high school, had
my CD player with me in my back pocket because
you can't really fit it anywhere else. And A System
of a Down drops a gym follow up to hypnotize, mesmerize,
and there's one song just in the middle of the
hallway and I was just like, holy shit, this is funny, Cigararo.
(13:33):
You're just talking Dix and shit for two minutes. It's
the one thing that just gets you hype for absolutely
no reason.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
And it's just like.
Speaker 10 (13:44):
You picture a dick and walking through the door and
they're like, that's badass, I want that. And then he's
talking about how shitty or how stinky his shit is,
and I was like, I feel that right now. And
it is the simplest lyrics and there's nothing to it.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
So fast forward to System of a Down and Deftones
at All State was on my first I was with
another rock station and I just see this balloon being
inflated in the pit and it is a giant dick
and they get to Cigararo and everybody loses their shit.
(14:24):
The balloon dick is just floating across the pit and
everybody's tossing it around having fun, and I was like, Wow,
there's like the energy from the song translated into the
people in real life. And like every time you know
when you're just vibing by yourself with the headphones in
and you have that feeling and you see that energy
coming out and other people and it's like they really
wrote a gym here.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
As stupid as it was, your love of cock was born.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
The only thing I heard in the past two minutes
was the balloon dick.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Did you touch the balloon dick?
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I was not in the pit.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Were you yourself inflated?
Speaker 7 (15:05):
It was a lot of energy in the room, Maria,
there's a.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Lot of dick in your choice.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Side note, Beastie Boys spring Break MTV had a huge
penis inflatable.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
They took it out with him when they were opening
for Madonna in the eighties and they got it so
long ago, but yes, it flew in Daytona. Nice love it,
great choice, Maris System of Down, thank you, all right,
mister Pat Capone's all right, what do you got?
Speaker 9 (15:34):
It was hard man, because as we mentioned, there are
so many great tunes from two thousand and five, right like,
it's nuts, But the one I chose.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Is wolf Mother. Oh okay, right, woman, I love that tune.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
And I'll tell you the reason why. I mean, I
was going to lean in towards Queens of the Stone
Age just because I love that album. It's so eclectic,
you got melodies, you got just different. It's almost experimental
in some ways. But with wolf Mother, what I really
liked was that the band stripped it all the way down.
And in two thousand and five, we had a lot
(16:13):
of heavy production because it was easy to do with
digital production, and everything was produced to death, compressed and
optimized and distilled.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
And that's fine.
Speaker 9 (16:24):
But what I liked about wolf Mother was it came
out three piece band, just raw riff rock, just the
roots of rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It stood out because it was so simplified.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Exactly, and it was refreshing, right yeah, yeah, And that's
why I liked it so to me that was the standoup.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
And you gotta wonder, you know, if a record drops
in two thousand and five, do they start working on
in two thousand and three, two thousand and four?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You know, it depends.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It depends on where you are in your career. I
think if you're later in your career and you're already established, yeah,
you're spending that much time on your record. A band
like wolf Mother and their debut coming out, they might
have been just, you know, hang it out pretty quickly.
So do you think that they heard what was going on?
I got.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
If you time.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I was a great comment from a pianist to an expert,
penis you came. The reason why I ask when they
would have made it is because with all of the
overproduced stuff, did they do that on purpose?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I don't think, well, you kind of stand out.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I don't know if they did it strategically.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
I think it was just how they resonated for their sound,
which is what I like bands to do, right. I mean,
a great producer can grab great musicians and formulatically produce
a song and album, a sound, a band, and we
see it all the time, right, And in fact, it's
probably one of the dregs of the music industry. But
when a band just lets the members do what they
do naturally the best you get that raw rock sound.
(17:53):
And I think that's what wolf Mother captured.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
When you're in the studio for a while, you know,
when I was in Moist Crevasse Fit, I thought it
was Harry And when you're in there, two things can happen.
At the same time, two things can happen. I'm sorry, Hell, yes,
damn it. When you're in the studio for a long time,
(18:16):
you know this because you're in a band, something just
sometimes erects from your process. And when it's erected, that's
when you know that's the right music.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
Intentional on the erection, Okay, intentional erection.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
They just pop up every Now that was my brother.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Wait are we talking about the band in Gorge or
are we talking about the band he was in? Hey,
I do want to say this, Uh, this is a
good time for rock and roll, but I do feel
like there is a lot coming out that is so
overproduced and processed, and it's from bands that I love,
and I don't want to call any particular band out,
but is it what's the new song from from Papa
(18:56):
Roach with the guy from H two. Oh uh that
just came out, brain Dead, brain Dead, It's I love it.
It just seems like they it's too compressed. I don't
hear those drums. I don't hear the vocals like I
want to. And I feel like.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
We've moved in that.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I think with the digital aspect, we've moved into this
world where everybody wants it to be as loud as possible.
And when you look at the waves, yeah, as you
look at an audio wave, they're like giant.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It's a brick. It's a brick.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, it's it's unfortunate, I think because you lose that
when you listen to a Zeppelin record.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
Imagine quantize Zeppelin how it would sound, it would work.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, But if you even go twenty years back with
Papa Roakes, those are such hard hitting, not overproduced. You
hear vocals front and center, you hear guitar riffs, and
the drums are loud. But I feel like that kind
of is an era that we're bringing back to music.
That's what I feel like.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Dear listen, well, what's your band, your song.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
My band, my song? And this is gonna shock absolutely
no one Uh. This band came to prominence in the nineties,
started in the eighties, prominence in the nineties, and then
kind of fell off with the general public. In the
tail end of the nineties and early two thousands, they.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Were still going. They're still they're still doing their things.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
But then the band Nine Inch Nails put out their
album with Teeth in two thousand and five, and they
came out with The Hand That Feeds and it was
just like just this this NonStop guitar riff over and
over again that just builds and builds. By the end
of it, you're raging and you're like, this is the
Nine inch Nails that I've been missing for the past
few albums.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
And then they had only on that record.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
That is where to me, nineach Nails is like, all right,
we've got it, we know what we're doing, we're back.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Atticus Ross joins the band. At the time.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Alan Mulder produced it. It is one of the great
nineach Nails records that came out swinging with with Teeth
trying saying that I think the blot's going somewhere else
on him and it is just that's gonna be my
my favorite footba.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I love that song and think about it's got to
be so damn tough for a band like that to
have released the records that they did and then come back, Yeah,
not necessarily come back, but continue to innovate a song
like that, and to this day, loudest concert I've ever
seen nine Inch Nails, but the greatest sounding show at
that volume too. You know that's Trent Reznor like at
rehearsals and stuff and making sure everybody is dialed in.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Right and their crowds are crazy. I mean that that
audience gets in.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I mean, I'll never forget seeing the Downward Spiral tour
at what is now All State Arena and being in
the balcony front row and seeing just like what looked
like a hive on.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The floor, everybody just undulating.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Look at that voe comeboard.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Okay, it was awesome. So I stay still has the
same carpet they did back then. Now the carpet in
the concourse, Why have carpet there?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Oh that's crazy, but that would be a nine inch
Nails with Teeth album.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
The hand that feeds. What a great conversation, What a
great year?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Right?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Was there any of the songs that you wanted to
say but didn't. Is there any like honorable mentions?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yes, mister bright Side also two thousand and five.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Gods, seriously, I mean, I mean or even somebody told
me when that came out and like, what's this band?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, yeah, Killer's absolutely phenomenal. Green Day's Holiday came out
two thousand and five as.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Well, That was on my list, I mean an American idiot,
They can't go wrong with that record.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
Speaking of raw bands, what about Jack White?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah? Jack, which record White Stripes had? Oh yeah, I
think that was one of the the tail end.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Uh the red cover?
Speaker 9 (22:37):
What's it called?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Get behind Me Satan? Or yeah? What about some Queens
of the Stone Age? Anybody like them?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
See now that I would have to That came up
earlier in the conversation. And I think Songs for the
Deaf would be my honorable honorable mention because Dave Grohle
played drums on that record, and just the writing is
so good. It was at a high level. So I
definitely think Queen's Songs for the Death is a great record.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Grek call Muse Hysteria also two thousand and five, that
incredible opening riff.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Oh my, they're one of my all time favorite bands,
and they're back with a new song too.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Have you heard it the Unraveling?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yeah, we're playing it on ninety eight Rock and uh
and I popped up and I was.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Like, holy crap.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I played it on New Noise and it's like it's
like somebody said sleep Token. Yeah, yeah, it's yes. You
got to check it out. It is their back.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Andy's surprised anytime they go into a studio, God Almighty,
they have all the tools and just they rock it.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Their last record was great to the one with Will
of the People on it. That was a good record.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Also got to call out attack from thirty Seconds to
Mars too.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah you do do that? Yeah, you do good one.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Speaking of like viral with that right when you went
viral online with thirty seconds tomorrow you went, you went, yes.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You personally me. I don't remember that now I remember it. Okay,
He's got really closer for that one. Would you like
to share this?
Speaker 7 (24:02):
This could almost be like I think she's really excited
about Pride Month And then we talked about those dicks
for so long?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah we didn't, you did? We talked about dicks a lot.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Was that next year as you were doing I got
it was uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
It was inflatable dicks, it was normal dicks, it was
hot dits. There was a crowd with well, it was
kind of a short dick because the shot song is
only two minutes.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
There was a long conversation about a short day.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Hey, but it fit through the door and that's the
most important part.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
That's what she said.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
That dick got in and out within two minutes, as
it should.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Two thousand and five, What an amazing year for music.
Always great to have these conversations. This is so much fun.
Looking forward to doing it again next month. We'll have
another year. It's the Rock ninety five to five crew.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I put too many fights in there. Now you got It?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
You got It five podcast?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah is We'll see you next month. Rock twenty five
five Chow
It's Walt and we're back.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It is another rock ninety five five top five, got
the entire gang in the studio. We have got another year.
We've picked our favorite songs from that year. We're gonna
go do the roundtable thing and we're gonna throw down
what our favorite songs are and why. And it's a
good one. We're moving up last time. I think we
(00:22):
did nineteen eighty three. This time around two thousand and five.
And if you look a lot of great records that year.
So are you guys ready?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Let's go? All right, let's go this side. Gonna start
with Maria. Okay, all right, that was a big year.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I had to narrow down a lot of songs, but
I have to give it to my chemical romances.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I'm not okay, I promise. Why does that make so
much sense?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It was a defining song for who I am as
a person.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
It stuck. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Soga a song written about Gerard Way finding out that
a girl that he was really into, well he knew
that she had a boyfriend. Then he found like a
bunch of photos that they had taken together, and he
got really mad and he wrote, I'm not okay, I
promise with one of the best music videos that my
preteen heart had ever seen where they're in high school.
It's almost like sketch comedy in that music video. So good.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So do you remember the first time you heard that song?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Oh God, I don't know if I know the first
time that I heard that song, because I really consumed
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge sort of all at one time.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Okay, that whole album.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
So I don't know if that's i'd know the first time,
but it was a regular YouTube visit for sixth grade
of me watching and that long luscious hair is good one.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
That's a good, good choice though, really good.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I loved playing MCR I think just the other day, yeah,
and I was like, that was one where I'm like,
if you call me, I'm not answering for four minutes
because I freaking love that song. It's such a cool
flashback and it's a little bit of a surprise.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
To hear on We Love We love our listeners, But
there are those songs that sometimes when they come on,
it's it's like, oh my god, I am absorbing this
just like everybody else is out there. And I love
that moment too, all right, Clinger, Oh, we're gonna we're
gonna go. Let's go Clinger and then we'll move to
the Gentleman with a bowler. All right, all right?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
H So two thousand and five, I'm living in Jacksonville, Florida,
living in Jack's Beach, Eleventh Avenue North, but working at
Planet Radio H in Jacksonville and Wacko's Gentlemen's Club. Wackos
Gentlemen's Club. So strip club's in Jacksonville at the time.
If you wanted full nudity, you're drinking coffee, no alcohol.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Can I step in for a sec? Of course?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
So?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Uh, did they have a rock venue next door?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
There's not to whackas okay, because there was a strip
club next to a performance venue that I played once
in Jacksonville Beach back in the well. This is in Jacksonville,
but I love jackson Yeah, okay, I stepped back.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
No, that's that's totally cool.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Did you ever play the Freebird It sounds familiar, Yeah,
but they're closed now, Okay, go ahead. So we were
doing an appearance with a band whose lead singer's name
M Shadows and the Rev. I mean this is two
thousand and five, The Rev. The entire band and uh.
And so we're doing this thing at Wacos and it's
(03:21):
a bikini bar. So my point is if you want
to drink, they're in bikinis or bikinis.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And so we.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Do we do a we do a meet and greet
with even sevenfold and uh and it was just spectacular
and it was kind of a sign of the times.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
It's like a stamp of two thousand and five because
you know this bikini bar, it's it's Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
And the song is backcountry great and they didn't play there,
but they played later that night. And back Country I
find to be it's like a freaking throat punch right
when it starts, yet thirty seconds later it's melodic with
them Shadow's voice and the rev is just zacky vengeance.
The entire band Sinister Gates. I love that song and
(04:10):
A seven X is one of my favorite bands because
I find that it goes so melodic and yet is
just a metal rager when all within the same song.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I think that's what makes that band work.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And for those not in the note, we're talking of
Ben Sevenfold, yeah, that they they.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Have that melodic aspect to them, that that they's.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Hit hard, but they also have the melody, and I
think that a lot of bands sometimes, you know, it's
all about how hard can we go?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
But you gotta have the melody. You gotta have you
gotta have somebody.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
You have to be able to sing along to the
song for it to actually connect.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Ah Dog melody is there for pussies.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
And as a as a side note, that night, the
concert was I don't even know where that concert. I
guess maybe Memorial Stadium, so it was an indoor like
arena rather and this They do their intro and you,
if you're paying attention, you're looking up and you're.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Like, holy crap, here comes this guy hanging from a
noose and he's in a Dicky's worksuit. And it's a
real guy. It's a real guy. It's it's not a dummy.
And he's kind of moving, is working well, I mean
he's that's part of the prop.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
So he's hanging from a noose and that's how they
start the show.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You just look at everybody's face when you said that
that's a terrible story.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
You would have expected that to just be a prop
and not a real person. And when I asked m
Shadows maybe two years ago, When I interviewed him about that,
I was like, because that's one of those shows and
that's one of those props and it's a production where
you're like, goddamn, that's just spectacular. And he's like, that
was a famous stunt guy that we had out on
that tour, and he said that was there was a
(05:50):
malfunction in his in the harness in which he was wearing,
and so he started to lower down and we realized
that his harness wasn't taking the load as it should have, right,
and so they had to bring him back up real
quick and readjust because it was actually at that show.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, wow, so that they didn't accidentally hang their stuff down, But.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
That's pretty cool. I mean they could have done with
just a dummy, yeah, but they ripped it down, man,
taking it to the next level, just like their music.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And that's hard for me.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
In two thousand and five to present a seven X
is my favorite with back Country because the second Audio
Slave record I think dropped that same year and that's
one of my all time favorite pants.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, Chap, I.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Know everyone, I'm very comfortable down here.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
It's fine. I want to go to the Southeast as well.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Notice the way he's wearing his headphones not to jack
up his beautiful hair.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, that's important.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah, two thousand and five, it was a time where
a lot of other people in different bands got together.
It was definitely kind of a time and rawck history.
It's also a family affair I want to talk about,
not just like a literal family, which I'm about to
get to, but a family of people who start on
the road. And I was on the road with them
with a band called Harry Cravosse. The band I'm talking
(07:02):
about is Dark New Day Brother. I love that record.
Brett Hesler, Virgo's malow Right and did a little stit
with Creed. Then you have Clint Lowry from Seven Dust,
his brother Cory, an whole bunch of other people.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
That song rips right out of the gate.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
That that the guitar work is like sexy, almost immediately
get a boner.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
It's just like zero to shaft and the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
You know, last time we did this thing, I got
a chance to spend a little time with you guys,
and I talked about how the song needs to have dynamics.
It needs to have like everyone having their moment that song.
Everyone has their moment every member of the band is bringing.
It is wonderful and it's also a big video game
a thing for those who are video maris. Do you
remember that song from video games?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I'm sorry I've let you down.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You have.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
So I wasn't doing video games in two thousand and five.
I was shagging across the Pacific rim.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I think that's code. But yeah, that's A. That's that's
my fun. That's A.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That's a really good one. I haven't thought about that
band in such a long time. I might have to
pull that out.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Listen to it again, holds up. It's brilliant. If it
came out right now, it would be like, oh, this
is a revelation.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Probably would.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You're right, And I also appreciate the reference to virgos Merlow.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Yeah, totally like an Orlando thing. Do you ever go
to Lollipops and Daytona ba, Yes, Lollipops?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I did. I did SHORTZ with Joe Elliott the one time.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Between Lollipops and Daytona and the Shark Lounge where which
they actually had a shark tank that was the dance
floor and they had for the strippers and they're dancing
on little mini sharks, tiny sharks.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It was.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
It was also one of those bikini balls so you
can drink, and they were a bit hansy.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Sometimes the strippers were like pregnant or had like, uh,
like bullet wounds that were still healing, and they were
just trying to make a living.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
And nothing better in Florida than a labor day pregnant
bikini contest.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I love this country. I love it. So when's that anyway?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
That's my London songe.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Price Will and chest Jet Backsman. All right, we're up
to Mike. Mike, Mike, Mike, i'p in here.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
What do you?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
What do you got for the year two thousand and five?
What's your jam?
Speaker 8 (09:17):
I was pretty fresh out of high school and uh,
I was like twenty two years old and living in
Seattle at the time, just starting my radio career and
so uh and as sort of a mess of a
person as a lot of people are. At twenty two,
Chris Cornell's Be your or Audio Slaves Be Yourself came out,
and it was just such a reminder as I was
driving too fast or maybe drinking a little too much,
(09:38):
like just relax, calm down, be yourself. And then I
was very into the lore of, you know, the rock
scene in Seattle and all that stuff, and so it
was really cool and crazy. Later in life, in twenty seventeen,
I was living there when Chris Cornell died, and it
was the craziest thing. Like the whole city shut down.
Businesses weren't open, like it was wild.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Every marquee in.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
The he you know, had what's the line, no one
sings like you anymore? I think, I mean, it was
just incredibly goosebumps even thinking about it. They have a
radio station there called kate e XP, and they held
like a full vigil and like thousands and thousands of.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
People showed up.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
An incredible musician, a legend in his own right. And
I really liked Audio Slave too.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I liked, I mean, what's not to love though, because
you have basically it's rage against the machine, swap out
the singers for Chris Cornell, one of the greatest voices
in rock, and how do you not go wrong with
that recipe? Actually, this morning I heard a song and
obviously it was either like a Highway whichever one you
played on the morning mosh pit, and.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It it hit me that there aren't these big guitar chords.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
In the chorus, he's actually playing single notes and it's
lifted up its eyem the highway, and it lifted up
the chorus without having big giant guitar chords, and like
that is so different than what you hear for rock.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Take.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I think Chris Corno's voice is actually a guitar. He's
like base lee guitar. It's an instrument for sure.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
For sure. Yeah, that is a great record.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I love that song and to your point, arguably, in
my opinion, I think Chris Cornell is the single greatest
rock voice.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Oh that's my We should we should do that. I
say top three for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I just love it so damn much.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
And I also say Tom Morello, I feel like he
is reserved a bit on those audio slave records. As
you said, he simplifies it and he could just get
as crazy as he wants.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I think that's on purpose. It's a point because because
the whole thing. And I can't speak for him, but
I think it was at least my perception that it
was trying to be a little bit more commercial.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Yeah, fair enough, you know, although that particular record didn't
have a lot of I don't even know that it
would have had a radio single on it.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Did it?
Speaker 8 (11:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Off, I don't think it did.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Coming out swinging with coaches, it was just like, oh yeah,
the table is said, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You give me is gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
But don't you think that is a sign of greatness too,
when you have one of the best guitar players in
the world who sort of throttles it back on purpose.
Speaker 9 (12:12):
Yeah, And I think that's so important for musicians to
serve the song right, Like, like you said, it's so
easy to come out, Okay, we got a chorus, let's
bang on the cords, let's lift it up.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Which is what I'm so used to hearing.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
Right, But because Chris Cornell's voice was so dynamic, he
didn't need to do that with the guitar, right, He
could do it with his voice, and by pulling back
on the guitar, it allowed the voice to be more showcased.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah. I think that that's a great point.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It definitely showcased the voice and I Am the Highway,
which could be a different album, but nonetheless it's the
band is special because of it.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
But then you turn around and you have a song
like Gasoline, where everybody has said, Yo, let's just go
to a thousand miles an hour on this, but they
didn't do that for every song on every record.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
What makes it a dynamic? It makes it great? Agree,
I love it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Great choice, Mike, think you, thank you, thank you? All right, Maris,
you're up two thousand and five? What are you listening to?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Him?
Speaker 7 (13:07):
That lovely year I was graduating from high school, had
my CD player with me in my back pocket because
you can't really fit it anywhere else. And A System
of a Down drops a gym follow up to hypnotize, mesmerize,
and there's one song just in the middle of the
hallway and I was just like, holy shit, this is funny, Cigararo.
(13:33):
You're just talking Dix and shit for two minutes. It's
the one thing that just gets you hype for absolutely
no reason.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
And it's just like.
Speaker 10 (13:44):
You picture a dick and walking through the door and
they're like, that's badass, I want that. And then he's
talking about how shitty or how stinky his shit is,
and I was like, I feel that right now. And
it is the simplest lyrics and there's nothing to it.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
So fast forward to System of a Down and Deftones
at All State was on my first I was with
another rock station and I just see this balloon being
inflated in the pit and it is a giant dick
and they get to Cigararo and everybody loses their shit.
(14:24):
The balloon dick is just floating across the pit and
everybody's tossing it around having fun, and I was like, Wow,
there's like the energy from the song translated into the
people in real life. And like every time you know
when you're just vibing by yourself with the headphones in
and you have that feeling and you see that energy
coming out and other people and it's like they really
wrote a gym here.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
As stupid as it was, your love of cock was born.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
The only thing I heard in the past two minutes
was the balloon dick.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Did you touch the balloon dick?
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I was not in the pit.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Were you yourself inflated?
Speaker 7 (15:05):
It was a lot of energy in the room, Maria,
there's a.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Lot of dick in your choice.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Side note, Beastie Boys spring Break MTV had a huge
penis inflatable.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
They took it out with him when they were opening
for Madonna in the eighties and they got it so
long ago, but yes, it flew in Daytona. Nice love it,
great choice, Maris System of Down, thank you, all right,
mister Pat Capone's all right, what do you got?
Speaker 9 (15:34):
It was hard man, because as we mentioned, there are
so many great tunes from two thousand and five, right like,
it's nuts, But the one I chose.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Is wolf Mother. Oh okay, right, woman, I love that tune.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
And I'll tell you the reason why. I mean, I
was going to lean in towards Queens of the Stone
Age just because I love that album. It's so eclectic,
you got melodies, you got just different. It's almost experimental
in some ways. But with wolf Mother, what I really
liked was that the band stripped it all the way down.
And in two thousand and five, we had a lot
(16:13):
of heavy production because it was easy to do with
digital production, and everything was produced to death, compressed and
optimized and distilled.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
And that's fine.
Speaker 9 (16:24):
But what I liked about wolf Mother was it came
out three piece band, just raw riff rock, just the
roots of rock and roll.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It stood out because it was so simplified.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Exactly, and it was refreshing, right yeah, yeah, And that's
why I liked it so to me that was the standoup.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
And you gotta wonder, you know, if a record drops
in two thousand and five, do they start working on
in two thousand and three, two thousand and four?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You know, it depends.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It depends on where you are in your career. I
think if you're later in your career and you're already established, yeah,
you're spending that much time on your record. A band
like wolf Mother and their debut coming out, they might
have been just, you know, hang it out pretty quickly.
So do you think that they heard what was going on?
I got.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
If you time.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I was a great comment from a pianist to an expert,
penis you came. The reason why I ask when they
would have made it is because with all of the
overproduced stuff, did they do that on purpose?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I don't think, well, you kind of stand out.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I don't know if they did it strategically.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
I think it was just how they resonated for their sound,
which is what I like bands to do, right. I mean,
a great producer can grab great musicians and formulatically produce
a song and album, a sound, a band, and we
see it all the time, right, And in fact, it's
probably one of the dregs of the music industry. But
when a band just lets the members do what they
do naturally the best you get that raw rock sound.
(17:53):
And I think that's what wolf Mother captured.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
When you're in the studio for a while, you know,
when I was in Moist Crevasse Fit, I thought it
was Harry And when you're in there, two things can happen.
At the same time, two things can happen. I'm sorry, Hell, yes,
damn it. When you're in the studio for a long time,
(18:16):
you know this because you're in a band, something just
sometimes erects from your process. And when it's erected, that's
when you know that's the right music.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
Intentional on the erection, Okay, intentional erection.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
They just pop up every Now that was my brother.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Wait are we talking about the band in Gorge or
are we talking about the band he was in? Hey,
I do want to say this, Uh, this is a
good time for rock and roll, but I do feel
like there is a lot coming out that is so
overproduced and processed, and it's from bands that I love,
and I don't want to call any particular band out,
but is it what's the new song from from Papa
(18:56):
Roach with the guy from H two. Oh uh that
just came out, brain Dead, brain Dead, It's I love it.
It just seems like they it's too compressed. I don't
hear those drums. I don't hear the vocals like I
want to. And I feel like.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
We've moved in that.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I think with the digital aspect, we've moved into this
world where everybody wants it to be as loud as possible.
And when you look at the waves, yeah, as you
look at an audio wave, they're like giant.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It's a brick. It's a brick.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, it's it's unfortunate, I think because you lose that
when you listen to a Zeppelin record.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
Imagine quantize Zeppelin how it would sound, it would work.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, But if you even go twenty years back with
Papa Roakes, those are such hard hitting, not overproduced. You
hear vocals front and center, you hear guitar riffs, and
the drums are loud. But I feel like that kind
of is an era that we're bringing back to music.
That's what I feel like.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Dear listen, well, what's your band, your song.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
My band, my song? And this is gonna shock absolutely
no one Uh. This band came to prominence in the nineties,
started in the eighties, prominence in the nineties, and then
kind of fell off with the general public. In the
tail end of the nineties and early two thousands, they.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Were still going. They're still they're still doing their things.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
But then the band Nine Inch Nails put out their
album with Teeth in two thousand and five, and they
came out with The Hand That Feeds and it was
just like just this this NonStop guitar riff over and
over again that just builds and builds. By the end
of it, you're raging and you're like, this is the
Nine inch Nails that I've been missing for the past
few albums.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
And then they had only on that record.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
That is where to me, nineach Nails is like, all right,
we've got it, we know what we're doing, we're back.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Atticus Ross joins the band. At the time.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Alan Mulder produced it. It is one of the great
nineach Nails records that came out swinging with with Teeth
trying saying that I think the blot's going somewhere else
on him and it is just that's gonna be my
my favorite footba.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I love that song and think about it's got to
be so damn tough for a band like that to
have released the records that they did and then come back, Yeah,
not necessarily come back, but continue to innovate a song
like that, and to this day, loudest concert I've ever
seen nine Inch Nails, but the greatest sounding show at
that volume too. You know that's Trent Reznor like at
rehearsals and stuff and making sure everybody is dialed in.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Right and their crowds are crazy. I mean that that
audience gets in.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I mean, I'll never forget seeing the Downward Spiral tour
at what is now All State Arena and being in
the balcony front row and seeing just like what looked
like a hive on.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
The floor, everybody just undulating.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Look at that voe comeboard.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Okay, it was awesome. So I stay still has the
same carpet they did back then. Now the carpet in
the concourse, Why have carpet there?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Oh that's crazy, but that would be a nine inch
Nails with Teeth album.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
The hand that feeds. What a great conversation, What a
great year?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Right?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Was there any of the songs that you wanted to
say but didn't. Is there any like honorable mentions?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yes, mister bright Side also two thousand and five.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Gods, seriously, I mean, I mean or even somebody told
me when that came out and like, what's this band?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, yeah, Killer's absolutely phenomenal. Green Day's Holiday came out
two thousand and five as.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Well, That was on my list, I mean an American idiot,
They can't go wrong with that record.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
Speaking of raw bands, what about Jack White?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah? Jack, which record White Stripes had? Oh yeah, I
think that was one of the the tail end.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Uh the red cover?
Speaker 9 (22:37):
What's it called?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Get behind Me Satan? Or yeah? What about some Queens
of the Stone Age? Anybody like them?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
See now that I would have to That came up
earlier in the conversation. And I think Songs for the
Deaf would be my honorable honorable mention because Dave Grohle
played drums on that record, and just the writing is
so good. It was at a high level. So I
definitely think Queen's Songs for the Death is a great record.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Grek call Muse Hysteria also two thousand and five, that
incredible opening riff.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Oh my, they're one of my all time favorite bands,
and they're back with a new song too.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Have you heard it the Unraveling?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yeah, we're playing it on ninety eight Rock and uh
and I popped up and I was.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Like, holy crap.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I played it on New Noise and it's like it's
like somebody said sleep Token. Yeah, yeah, it's yes. You
got to check it out. It is their back.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Andy's surprised anytime they go into a studio, God Almighty,
they have all the tools and just they rock it.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Their last record was great to the one with Will
of the People on it. That was a good record.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Also got to call out attack from thirty Seconds to
Mars too.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah you do do that? Yeah, you do good one.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Speaking of like viral with that right when you went
viral online with thirty seconds tomorrow you went, you went, yes.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You personally me. I don't remember that now I remember it. Okay,
He's got really closer for that one. Would you like

Speaker 7 (24:02):
This could almost be like I think she's really excited
about Pride Month And then we talked about those dicks
for so long?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah we didn't, you did? We talked about dicks a lot.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Was that next year as you were doing I got
it was uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
It was inflatable dicks, it was normal dicks, it was
hot dits. There was a crowd with well, it was
kind of a short dick because the shot song is
only two minutes.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
There was a long conversation about a short day.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Hey, but it fit through the door and that's the
most important part.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
That's what she said.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
That dick got in and out within two minutes, as
it should.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Two thousand and five, What an amazing year for music.
Always great to have these conversations. This is so much fun.
