shirt that you cut up at your belly button.
Speaker 3 (12:41):

Speaker 3 (13:12):

Speaker 5 (13:12):

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Have you been tampering in my ganja container there at

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Have you been eating too many gummies?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Are you mixing alcohols? Are you? Oh? I know you're
under the influence of chaotic stupidity.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And I'm also under the influence of the choices you
make in your bands.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
But any band that decided to follow the camera or
a fashion pitch, I had a problem.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Of course. Anyway, of course, if it was up to you,
nobody would ever see the lights of of any band ever.
We never know what they'd look like, not even in pictures. Anyway,
you brought in way, you brought in loud.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Now you're bashing the technology of camera. Oh no, that's
your video cameras.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
That's what are you trying to paint for the audience.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
You're anti Bob Rossel hate.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
You're anti technology, anti picture, anti music unless it's hard
hard metal.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
But anyway, you're being anti chang I am.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You talked about Loudness and you brought in one of
their songs. I didn't know this, but Loudness is a
metal band that was formed in Japan in nineteen eighty
one by the guitarist Akira Takasaki and the drummer Wunitaka Higuchi.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Did you know this the members that you just mentioned, No,
I didn't know their names, and I wouldn't attempt to
say their names unless I met them at Sandy's in
the eighties, where you used to go sit around and
they would check Jap the cuisine Marie until all right.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, in nineteen eighty five, the release of Thunder in
the East was marked as their major international release and
featured one of their hit singles called Crazy Nights, and
that had a lot of airplay on your favorite station, MTV.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yes it was, and it was also played a lot
on K and AC one oh five point five pure
rock from Long Beach, California, if you resided in southern California.
Now loudness I brought up because anybody out there from
La or Oc you got to remember, if you're from
the eighties, you got to remember K and E C
(15:42):
K E T K Loos before it was klost as
in K lost as it is now.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
You got Rank and Flighty in the mornings when it
should be Tuscano and myself.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
But that's another story.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
But I remember when they came onto the scene, I
tripped out because I mean, these dudes jammed, but they
were like little dudes, you know. And I thought they
were going to be slinging nun chucks and shit. I
was being prejudicial like a dick. But man, these guys rocked.
I mean they were all over the place. The thing
with them, they got categorized multi times out of being
(16:23):
that cross barrier of looking glamb for the hair and
the clothes that they wore with his spandex.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
But if you took that away from him and you.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Put them just on audio, on f them blast. I
mean their rifts, the way their structure was heavy metal,
you know what I mean? It was hardcore metal, but
they got whipped into the look you know what I mean.
So it's what just like we mentioned last time, like
Twisted said, there, that's another band that stepped on the
(16:54):
bridge of am.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I glam or am I not? Or do I just
want to look like a chick who said that?
Speaker 12 (17:02):
Well?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Did you know here's well the hater? Who else did
you know that? Loudness? Loudness was the first Japanese band
to ever play at Madison Square Garden in nineteen eighty five.
And also, here's a fun fun fact. If you ever
watched All Japan Pro Wrestling in the late eighties, their
(17:22):
song Loudness's song Crazy Nights was used as the theme
song for the pro wrestling promotion All Japan Pro Wrestling.
Oh really, I thought that was a pretty interesting Yeah,
pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
You know that is interesting.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
You know, we should do a show on wrestling of
the eighties, my brother, what do you think of that?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I think we should and we should invite definitely Smash Ventura,
who is a wrestling fan of the highest kepl.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
You know, that would be Oh, that would be a
badass show.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I think if we do a show on Rerest, you
know what, let's put that out there everybody out there listening.
Hit us on our social media, uh, and let us
know if you're a wrestling fan and if you would
like us to dive into eighties wrestling, the history, maybe
you have some favorite wrestlers, because I mean, wrestling is
(18:21):
rock and roll, it's entertainment.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Up next, we've got some stocking for you into the fire.
So I'm that still gets up and pumps you up
every single time, So don't go anywhere because we've got
more hits and stories coming up here back to the
eighties radio.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
When we thought the eighties eadies were laying.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
That's because we had to lived through this decade.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yet you're listening to back to the eighties.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Y'all show you.

of the.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Love that was pay for Me.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Here, Way Fly, go.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Back to the eighties radio wait for You by the
one It Only Bottom Here. A little bit before that,
we heard Into the Fire by docin Jang, and everybody listening,
we are talking about the revolutionaries of glam metal. We
were talking about bands all over the place, all over
the map, and tonight we just heard Dawkin, who was
incidentally formed in nineteen seventy nine, and they rose to
(28:00):
fame in the eighties. Their breakthrough success album Chang was
Tooth and Nail from nineteen eighty four, and of course
hits like the one that we just played, Into the
Fire and Alone again. What did you think of Dawkin
and what do you still think about Dawkin? Because that
is one powerful band.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
You know what, man, I didn't care too much for
Don Donkey, I mean Don Dawkin. I didn't think he
was a very strong vocalist.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
You know.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
I don't know who wrote a lot of the lyrics,
but I couldn't really get into the lyrics. They were
kind of just catchy, you know what I'm saying, But
I gotta say funny.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I try to set it up in an exciting way
and you shoot me down.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
But the entire band behind him. If you took Don
Dawkin out of the band Dawkin, I'd say it.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Was a kick gass band.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
And that is a kick ass band because George Lynch,
that guy is like an Eddie van Halen. That guy
made that band. George Lynch is a badass guitar player.
That band was a good band, solid band, uh a
very structured band. Without Don Donkey, I thought he didn't
(29:12):
live up.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
To the chops as a lead singer.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I thought maybe if they would add a better singer
and they would have went a different route, they would
have had it. If Don Donkey would have maybe broke
down and just did a lot of stuff like great
white you know what I mean. Stick to your style,
stick to your forte. Don't try to fit in or
blend in, and don't go with a camera. You know,
(29:38):
don't carry yourself somewhere just to do it. If you
got merit, you got town, you'd make some cash. So
I thought Don Donkey was a little bit short of
a great band as Dawkin, But I like the rest
of his band.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I just don't like the guy. Don't like him as
a lead singer.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Do you realize, please, everything negative that can be coming
out of a person's mouth comes out comes out from
the chang whenever he hears any music mentioned that's not
the original heavy metal and he and he just makes
(30:22):
fun of it in a way. You know, there's bands
that he makes fun of the drummer for having an arm.
Last name is Donkin. He calls you Donkey. So yes,
ladies and gentlemen, you heard it yourself. Well, you also
played a song called You played a song called Way
(30:43):
for You by by Bottom from the album The Disregard
of Timekeeping that topped rock airplay charts in nineteen eighty nine. Now,
this was a band that was formed by Led Zeppelins Well,
the son of late led Zeppelin.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Get it Straight, Get it Straight, and it get British.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Slash Canadian hard rock heavy metal bound band found that's
fat Okay, Okay, see, I might as well just just
be playing all music and change and I need to hate.
I'll just call you.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
All I'm doing is drawing the attention of the jury
to some of your faults, to catch you in some
of your uh.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Knots in the lace.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
But yes, well Bonham, Jason Bonham is the son of
the great Led Zeppelin Dramer of course, John Bondam Thunder
got up Thunder.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yes, glad you brought it up right, you know that?
Speaker 4 (31:49):
And Bonham did actually get together with led Zeppelin, do
you remember that in live aid with the members of
led Zeppelin behind the kit, although they didn't sound as
great as A once did in the studio when Robert
Plant was able to wear blouses that my mother wore
probably blouse tops like your mother. Woar right, that's the
(32:12):
way it was back then. A great drummer, I think
a great song, a great era. You know what would
have topped that song off? If he sang like Phil Collins?
Speaker 3 (32:27):
What do you think of that shit?
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Ladies, gentlemen, Now it's time for this day in eighties
glam metal news. On this day In November nineteen eighty seven,
White Snake's self titled album hit number one on the
Billboard Top two hundred chart thanks to the hit Here
I Go Again and Is This Love? It was a
(32:54):
monumental moment in glam metal history and cemented White Snake's
status as one of the ears biggest bands.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Okay, you're talking about on this date? What about on
this date in nineteen eighty eight when my little Unoss
Dodgers won the World Series led by Fernando l. Alenzuela
against the New York Yankees, in which ladies and gentlemen,
(33:21):
boys and girls, Earth Dogs and eighties ladies, Dodger fans
and those that hate us because they ain't us. I
got to give you a special shout out in an
homage to my Los Angeles Dodgers, who.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Just spoop up, up, up up uspanked.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
New York and the Yankees to become the World Series
MLB Champions of the World, just like they did in
eighty eight, which is sad but ironic. Also at this time,
I want to go ahead and take a moment of
(33:59):
silence for Fernando Valenzuela, the King of Los Angeles, the
Dodger that came and brought unity and peace in Chavez Ravine.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Every Latino was a Fernando Mania fan.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
So if you can, right now take two seconds bow
your head rest in peace, Fernando Valenzuela.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
That's right, Fernando Valenza. You know I remember, as a
matter of fact, my buddy from high school and junior high,
Mark Hernandez, went to I believe, the last game at
Chavez Ravine. He went to Dodger Stadium with his dad
to see that game where they won the World Series.
(34:44):
So that that's pretty awesome. Man. Today, you know what,
you know what sucks though, Come on, give me a break.
Forty thousand dollars for a ticket in some of those seats.
Forty thousand dollars tickets absolutely ridiculous and I think they
should be a shamed But that's for a different show.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
You know what I'll tell you right now, bro, When
the Dodgers want an eighty eight, which I'm very sad
right now because I was unable to go and to
the parade in LA to see my Dodgers, you know,
this championship, which would have meant a lot to me
because when the Dodgers won the Yankees in eighty eight
with Fernando, I went to the parade with my dad,
(35:24):
which we both know our dad's.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Had blong gone.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
And you know that I'm a livid sports fanatic sports fan.
I could probably do a radio show on sports, but
I'm sure you would call on him and draw attention
to my heay of everything from the East Coast.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
But that's another show. My love of this.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
La enthusiast fan that I am. I am a member
of the Laker Nation. I am a member of the
Blue Crew. I bleed blue, I go horns up, you
know that with my rams. So I was very sad
that I could not go to this parade because it
would have been something of essence is sweet, like it
(36:05):
would have brought back a lot of good memories that
I had going with my dad. But every parade that
LA's celebrated with our organizations, our sports teams, I witnessed
with my dad. When I went to that Ram parade
this last few years ago where they won, I had
to break down in tears because it was if there
(36:26):
was one person I could have had there besides my
two grandkids that I had there and my sister would
have been my dad. And it was crazy because me
and my older sister went and we're the ones that
had season tickets with my dad and would go watch
the Rams growing up in the seventies and especially the eighties.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Un till they left the Saint Louis Hats off to
all you Angelino's and everybody that loves the Dodgers. On
this next set, I'm going to dedicate LA Music, so
you know what. Let's take off right now because I
got to bob my head and cry. Rest in peace, Fernando,
congrats the Dodgers. Something from my Crue Live.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Why are you gonna follow that up with something from
Dan Hayden? Don't you go anywhere? Back to the age radios.

Most places very much so bad outside of bad trouble
words us aside as outside side.
Speaker 7 (41:06):
As said.
Speaker 17 (41:09):
It's so said it side station siss six times last.
Speaker 18 (43:04):
Why if they were a laxative, they'd be so powerful
(43:37):
you could stand on your head and on the ceiling.
That position would not only be unavailable but also undignified.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
And now back to the eighties with Tuscano and Chang.
Speaker 4 (43:49):
Welcome back to back to the eighties radio. We are
talking about the when then thank you man, good God,
it's gone glam metal. And we have ended that segment
with a homage. Well I did, of course, interrupting the
court as I usually do. I was surprised my fellow
(44:10):
attorney here Tuscano, did not throw the red flag on me.
But we paid homage to Fernando and the Dodgers. That
was two bands from La. We took you out with
something from Van Halen, Hangem High Off, a Diver Down
and of course Live Wire, Motley Crue.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
The Saints of La self proclaimed.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
I want to talk about next, a band that was
formed in eighty six in Tom's River, New Jersey, and
they became one of the defining bands of the late
eighties and early nineties hair metal scene. And it was
founded by bassist Rachel Bolin and guitarist Dave the Snake Sabo.
They soon added guitarist Scottie Hill, drummer Rob Offuso, and
(44:57):
of course lead vocalist Buck.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
Oh, you're talking about skid Row.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
I'm talking about skid Row. Yes.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
As a matter of fact, the name of the band
fits where Sebastian Bach should be now with his uh
bigotry t shirts, his loud mouth, his whining, his uh
pre Madonna attitude, egotistical, narcissistic, alcoholic, childlike immature ways.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Sebastian Bach.
Speaker 4 (45:34):
Uh, I told you I I seen him in Hollywood
on Sunset Strip with a shirt that it angered me
to no end.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
Uh it said aides kills kills, Fag's dead.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
Now, Yeah, but I mean you gotta come on, you
gotta let that one go. That was one thing, one time, No,
and people are entitled to make one mistake in their
life debt that I mean, this guy's made a lot
of mist one mistake that you can overlook.
Speaker 4 (46:02):
Come on, Okay, that shirt that he wore made a
statement and it was in alliance with the way that
he carried himself, which was a hard rock band would
have been a good band, kind of glannye, but they
had balls. They were Glanny but balls. I'll give him that.
(46:22):
But his arrogance, his stupidity, his moduism, his uh under
the is under the influenced childlike behavior to wear his
shirt like that at a time when we were going
through that.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
To be in sense, well, he was you know he
had a predicable.
Speaker 4 (46:46):
That had a family member or themselves dealing with that ailment.
It's wait, it's a testimony to the way he acts. Now,
did you know that he has made a claim to
try to get back into schedule because they're on tour
now with Lizzie Hale, their front singer. Don't ask me
(47:06):
that that's another show. Maybe when I go back to
Bang with a Chain. But everybody in the band, undisputed,
without a doubt, unanimously said no, that guy is a
problem egotistically, chemical balance, imbalancement at alcohol, at anything else,
(47:28):
instant asshole, like a firework with a with a what
you call firework with a low spark, a dud.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
That's what that guy is.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
So you can tell me everybody makes a mistake. Oh yes,
I am a true believer in redemption. I myself, I'm
under redemption powl Kobe Bryant, King of redemption, greatness, La.
Speaker 3 (47:54):
All the way.
Speaker 4 (47:55):
But we're talking about Sebastian Buck, who continues to act
like an impulse of alcoholic raging, bitter jackass, who's never
taken himself at all to be the reason of his
own bed.
Speaker 2 (48:12):
Okay, so so okay, that's fine, that's fine, and you're right.
I'm not gonna argue with that, of course, you're you're
you're right. Park. However, however, okay, yeah, okay, let's go
however in a t ball field. Okay. So, the point
is that the decisions of having the departure of Sebastian
(48:33):
back stemmed from mounting tensions and a specific incident involving
a disagreement about opening for the band Kiss if you remember,
this was.
Speaker 3 (48:44):
Like an idea jackass band.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Okay. The point is that, yes, they've had their mistakes,
they've done their their their time right, they may continue.
Speaker 3 (48:57):
To be a way.
Speaker 2 (48:59):
However, however, you will not deny. You will not deny
that despite this, skid Row with Sebauschinbach remains a great
band with great music, great songs, songs for example, that
some One song for example that was inspired by a
real life story and tells the tragic tale of Ricky,
(49:21):
a young man who makes a series of poor choices
leading to his downfall, was a song called eighteen in Life.
I mean, that's an unforgettable rock anthem. So, regardless of
what his stupidity may say, the guy when he was
when he was doing music, and he was well doing music.
He did it well. Unfortunately, this is one of those
(49:44):
cases where I believe that bands and performers should keep
their mouth shut, should not express their whatever their hidden
views are, don't put it on a shirt, don't put
keep that to yourself. You know, everybody has their their
own opinions abou how the world turns, okay, and that's fine,
(50:04):
but people should shut up, especially if they're in the
eye of the public. You know, for example, today what
we got now with all this stupidity of the politics,
and then you have different artists and bands backing up
each each color, the blue and the red, and I
think that it's so stupid. I wish these performers would
(50:27):
just be quiet, because then it makes you go, you
know what, I don't like them anymore because now I
know their personal feelings, and that shouldn't be because sometimes
their music is really good and the stuff that they
believe in private should shouldn't get in the way.
Speaker 4 (50:43):
Well, I totally agree with you, Tuskana. We've had conversations
before to where you know, I'm sure there's my number
one hater out there kind of has already aligned me
with a certain political belief.
Speaker 3 (50:58):
But me and you have thought, and I'm pretty strong.
Speaker 4 (51:02):
I'm pretty liberal, but I don't think i'm liberal to
a political stance. I think I speak my mind on
this show and my other shows in a way of
I live and I speak on a moral code. Do
you not agree?
Speaker 3 (51:17):
And so do you?
Speaker 4 (51:19):
So when certain artists or individuals or personalities come across
in the limelight or with you and me or any
however they do, I always proclaim I look at it,
I dissect it, and I give my opinion on a
(51:44):
moral code. You know what I'm saying. So with me
Sebastian Bach across that line of a moral code, and
I mentioned the word redemption because everybody could be redeemed.
And I was very offended by that guy's shirt at
that time. But I'll go into this really quick and
(52:07):
out of it really quick. My cousin Mark resembled Freddie Mercury,
was a homosexual died of AIDS when that previous before
before I saw him wear that shirt. My cousin we
were very close in a tight knit family, which was
(52:27):
crazy Latino. But that's another story. And there was that
one point in my life where I was very angry
with my cousin Mark, because he cut all my hair
off to be at my sister, my older sister's wedding,
And one of the last things I said to him,
honestly was it's not how I feel.
Speaker 3 (52:47):
It's out of anger stupidity.
Speaker 4 (52:49):
I was only sixteen, and I regret this, and I
don't mean any harm or malice on what I'm going
to say. The last thing I said to him, it was,
you f in faggot, how dare you cut my hair,
my power, my strength and give me everything I have
because you thought it would look good.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
Now we fast forward to, you know, the wedding and everything.
I was very upset.
Speaker 4 (53:15):
My age, stupidity and muchism got in the way. But
he died two years after that of AIDS and I
didn't talk to him much after that like we used
to because I was very upset, like a dumb ass kid.
But other things, you know, transpired, took my attention away
(53:35):
from family, so I regretted that.
Speaker 3 (53:38):
So when I saw that shirt, it was approped of me.
Speaker 4 (53:41):
Two years and six months after the death of my
cousin who I grew up with very close, and I
hated myself for making those statements because I really didn't
mean it.
Speaker 3 (53:50):
It was just my pride, my ego. Hair grew back,
of course.
Speaker 8 (53:54):
But.
Speaker 2 (53:56):
To me, so basically, you felt real. You felt a
lot of guilt for what you said, and reading that
shirt just brought those memories back and brought on the guilt.
Speaker 3 (54:08):
Even it brought on the guilt even more. But here's
what it did.
Speaker 4 (54:11):
It opened my eyes to the blind bigotry and hate
and stupidity and uneducation of understanding someone of the lifestyle,
someone that is battling something or dealing with something in secret.
(54:32):
And yeah, the guilt, but not only that, but it
brought on how can you be that unsensitive about a
disease that only hit the gay community?
Speaker 3 (54:42):
You know, when do you say that about people that
died of cancer? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (54:49):
The shallow hate alone, It hit a nerve because it
made me aware of how stupid and childish and heinous
thought at the time to make those comments or to
think the way I did in a macho environment that
I was raised in. To open my eyes and was like, wow,
(55:11):
I lost a loved one and the last thing I
said to him was hate.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
So yeah, it's made me aware. It made me put
my dukes up put me in check.
Speaker 4 (55:26):
So nowadays I try, even if in an anger conversation,
I try to come back and redeem that conversation.
Speaker 2 (55:35):
To be a positive silver lining or the bright side
of the tragedy is that it made you understand that
you were in the wrong, and it made you more compassionate,
and it made you understand the other side as well.
So you know, in spite of the bad, good came
out of it. And that's what That's what matters my
(55:56):
brother and that, ladies and gentlemen, for this evening is
tonight's trip down the glam metal memory lane. We've rocked
out to the legends of metal that's glam metal and
hair metal and celebrated some of the unforgettable sounds of

music that we listened to had a little more hair
and a lot more heart. So until next time when
