(00:21):
and Rob's time and other bandslike teenage casket company and
Tiger tales, and so much more.
Stick around

Unknown (00:40):
Hey, buddy, how you doing? Good. How are you? I'm
good man. Lucky t shirt. Yeah, Itry to try to support my buddy.
Rob. Let your friend to ourmutual friend.

Rob Wylde (00:51):
Yeah, I've known Rob for like 2020 is long time.
Yeah. So yeah, we go back a longway. He said he now with you in
the era, the kind of thepodcasting in the states a while
ago.

Chuck Shute (01:07):
Yeah, rockin pod is like a podcast convention for
mostly rock music podcasts. Soyeah, was cool. He was there.
And there's a lot of othermusicians and it's funny.
Somebody actually walked up tohim and had the teenage casket
company CDs and want to hitRob's autograph. I think he was
he felt pretty cool.

Rob Wylde (01:28):
He loved it. Yeah, I'm actually seeing him on that
on Thursday. We're gonna go andsee windows together they're
over here with we had lined upthe wood Steel Panther who I
absolutely hate with adventures,but they're doing all the arenas
over here. And when Guru aromanot the tour, so we're gonna go
and see him in Birmingham, soI'll be wrong versus old time.

(01:51):
I'll tell you to send a lot.

Unknown (01:52):
Yeah, you should be open and you should go. You guys
should be on that tour, too.
That'd be a good point. Youdon't like Steel Panther though?

Rob Wylde (01:58):
Ah, no, I never I never. I never. I never got the
joke. You know? I always thoughtit was kind of like taking the
Mako all the music that I love.
Great, great musicians, but Inever I just never find them. I
never got the joke. Really? So Idon't know. But I'm, maybe maybe
I'll be converted when I seethem on Thursday.

Chuck Shute (02:23):
Yeah, no, I think I cuz I used to see him in Vegas.
And to me, it was like, it wascool. Because it was like, you
know, kind of like a Vegas show.
There was comedy and there wasmusic. And I liked it. Because I
love that music, too. I didn't Ididn't think it was like mocking
the music. I think it was like,glorifying it. I think it was
the humor part was like, kind oflike how, you know, rock stars
are we're in the 80s you know,kind of chauvinistic, and sexist

(02:46):
and all that, like that was the,into drugs and all that, you
know, like partying. And so Ithought that part was and that
was kind of the lyrics of themusic too. Which was i Yeah,
it's it's humorous, but it mademe it would make me laugh. I
thought it was funny because itwas just so raunchy. You know,
it kinda reminded me of likeEazy E or like, you know, the
kind of rap like Eminem andstuff back in the 80s.

Rob Wylde (03:06):
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I'll let you know how we get.
I'll see. I might, you know,I'll email you. And I'm like,
All right, you know,

Unknown (03:16):
I think they put on it.
I laugh. I think it's, I thinkit's hilarious. But see, because
you've never seen him. Yeah,you'll Oh.

Rob Wylde (03:23):
So this is the first time so we'll see what we get
on. You know, hopefully,hopefully, I'll dig it.

Chuck Shute (03:30):
Yeah. So yeah, just I listened to the new album, a
couple of times, good stuff. Ilove this kind of music,
obviously. So if you're a fan ofthis era, of 80s, hard rock,
glam rock, hair, metal, whateverthe hell you want to people want
to call it. I mean, it'sperfect. It's great. It's great,
too, because I love that kind ofmusic. But there's not a lot of
new music that's coming out ofthe 80s. But you've basically

(03:54):
done that you've created I mean,you didn't create anything
original in terms of a style,but you've captured that style
and feel and, and made it new.
It's amazing. So it's reallycool to hear new songs. And
they're all great, of course.
Oh,

Rob Wylde (04:07):
thanks, man. Yeah, yeah, we're so happy with it,
you know, they set forth albums.
So, you know, we got three threebefore this. But yeah, I mean,
in terms of what we do, I mean,it is literally, you know, you
hit the nail on the head, youknow, we take all those great
bands in the late 80s All theAmerican bands and kind of like,
you know, mix it all togetherand do our own version of it,

(04:30):
really. And like you said, Ithink that there's not new bands
doing kind of what we're doingreally, with, especially with
you know, we've got keyboardplayer, and there's a lot of
keys on the album and stuff andyeah, it's kind of we kind of
have a little bit of a nichemarket. And yeah, what we're
doing at the minute,

Chuck Shute (04:48):
exactly as cool the other keyboard player too,
because again, that that issomething that's so iconic of
the 80s. And so it is really ina way it is like really original
because there's not like yousaid there's not a lot of other
things. We'll doing that like Ithink there's some bands and
sweet like crazy licks and stufflike that. And I think you've
played with them right?

Rob Wylde (05:07):
Yeah, yeah played with a lot of those bands I mean
there's a lot of that stuffgoing on out in Europe for sure
you know crazy lakes crash dietall that kind of stuff. Reckless
love all that kind of thing. ButI still think we kind of sound
different to those bands. Idon't know. Maybe it's the
keyboard thing I don't I don'tknow. But um, but the most of

(05:27):
that stuff is coming out ofScandinavia and you know, the
Sweden, Sweden, Sweden, Norway,Denmark, those sort of
countries. So there's certainlynothing like midnight sitting in
the UK. We're literally the onlyband doing this stuff. So we
kind of stand out like a sorethumb on every festival we play
or we're here in the UK becauseit's, you know, nobody really

(05:49):
there is a scene over here butit's more of a kind of a, a
classic rock sort of blues. Youknow, your typical sort of
British blues rock on was thatkind of like you know, early
Whitesnake thunder type soundyou know, everybody seems to
sound like that, you know,they've all got the beards and
so we say just completelycompletely different which which

(06:12):
is cool because we do like standout quite a lot from from the
lot in the band is happeningover here at the minute.

Chuck Shute (06:20):
Yeah, I mean, it's got a little more like you said
the keyboards I think that islike a unique there's not a lot
of the other ones that aren'tdoing that kind of stuff. Like
Steel Panther even, I mean, theydon't have a keyboard player.
It's crazy looks I don't thinkdoes so that it's a little bit
of a poppier, kind of like a BonJovi would you call it kind of
sound? Almost?

Rob Wylde (06:38):
Definitely. Yeah. I mean, very, very poppy, very, I
mean, that's the main thing. Imean, there's a lot of, you
know, I mean, I love apart fromall the 80s hair bands, I just
love pop music. That's my thing.
You know, there isn't literallythere isn't like a metal bone in
my party. So it's Bowlby. I justlove pop music and I love you
know, catchy hooky songs and,and those, you know, massive

(07:01):
melodies and harmonies and stufflike that. So, definitely early.
Bon Jovi is this, you know, someDef Leppard in the there's a lot
of danger, danger, you know,maybe a little bit of 80s Kiss
you know, Warren put a whiteline in the you know, just don't
hold those bands really, but itis very, very popular, very

(07:22):
commercial. And you know, that'sthe kind of intention behind it
really. So

Chuck Shute (07:28):
yeah, it's definitely really catchy. I love
the first song ready to go whowhose idea was it to put like
the alarm sound at the beginningit's kind of cool though because
it like it does like rev you upa little bit and that's the
first song which is perfect.

Rob Wylde (07:41):
Yeah, and that was that was our keyboard play Shawn
you came up with the the introthing on the album. So yeah, he
that was his sort of departmentwhere he's kind of also thinking
about what we're going to dolive because we're about to go
on tour over here in the UK andin a couple of weeks time so
that's gonna be the intro forthe live show as well into what

(08:01):
how Wow ready to go is going tobe the first song in the setlist
as well so yeah,

Chuck Shute (08:07):
that should go over amazing live and then yeah,
there's some some slower songsto some ballads and like the
song all fall down though Icould see that that's kind of
like a sing along Chorus I couldsee that won't be one that
hopefully if the crowd knows thesongs though, there'll be
singing that one back to you.

Rob Wylde (08:23):
Yeah, I think so.
There's there's a lot of youknow, a lot of songs but that
you know, that are going to begreat when we play them live
with the crowd participationthing going on. So and then
obviously we're doing we'redoing stuff from my previous
three albums as well. So yeah,it was actually quite a tricky
tricky decision coming up withthe setlist because you know
there's, there's a lot of you'retrying to come up with a 15 song

(08:45):
setlist for albums is isactually quite tricky. So So we
kind of had to do obviously whatwe're mainly going to be doing
stuff off the new album. I thinkwe're doing like three off each
previous album as well. So

Unknown (08:59):
Okay, nice. Yeah, because I think Girls Gone Wild
is that the next like singlethere's a music video coming out
for that soon.

Rob Wylde (09:06):
Yeah, that's coming out. He's coming out this
Friday, which will be made the19th so that's going to be the
second single but it's going tobe the first video because the
first thing that we put outSunday was just more of a kind
of like a teaser trying to getthe label put out, which is the
album cover on YouTube. So itwas just a kind of a bit of a

(09:27):
sampler as to what the album'sabout. But yeah, we got bills
Gone Wild, the videos coming outon May the 19th and then doesn't
know that we shot another videofor a song called hardest hard
to break, which is one of thebalance track throughout the
album that's coming out June 16.
So there's basically another twovideos coming out before the

(09:48):
album comes out on June 23.

Chuck Shute (09:53):
Nice Yeah. And then yeah, that because the girls
gone wild. That's that's kind ofmore in that like warrant vein
because it's got the The gangbackground vocals which I love,
personally and is veryreminiscent of warrant I think

Rob Wylde (10:07):
very I mean, I'm a huge warrant plans good and good
ears. Yeah, yeah probably youknow the whole point that Barbie
saw like tongue in cheek youknow lyrics are kind of almost,
you know, a little bit lovingstereo on skinny bump a little
bit you know, it's been, youknow, sort of tongue in cheek,
one foot rock song really, butyeah, there's a lot of Warren

(10:29):
influence through that was ahuge, huge word and Jamie Lane
fans, so yeah,

Chuck Shute (10:38):
yeah, me too. What?
And what about tell me about thesong raise the dead because
there's like growling songssounds at the opening and like,
how did you get those? Clearlythat's got to be like a zombie
type song. It's got a spookyvibe, but it's also like a fun
party song. And I heard a lot ofcowbell, which is always great,
too. So that's,

Rob Wylde (10:56):
you gotta get a car, but you have a heavy metal. Oh,
we got a COBOL. And so there hadto be one in there at some
point. But um, yeah, that was aweird song because I wrote the
song on it. And it kind of addeda different feel to how we how
it actually turned out. It was alittle bit heavier, a little
bit, almost kind of the originaldemos almost a little bit, you
know, early, early Skid Row. SoI purposely actually didn't put

(11:20):
any keyboards on the demo. Butthen Sean, again, keyboard
player, he kind of came up withthis, like, cool, kind of
keyboard riff thing. So and thenit's kind of almost like took on
a completely different,different vibe altogether and
took a bit of a differentdirection. And we actually had a
song on our last album. Eachcan't scratch which came out in

(11:44):
2021. And there's a single and avideo for a song called Liam
only come out at night. I don'tknow whether you've seen that.
But we did this brand new very,it's just a completely insane
video. It's a nine minute videoshot in this this old Victorian
home here, not actually too farfrom where I live. Really,

(12:08):
really. Just got to watch avideo. It's really cool. It's
kind of you know, we're all kindof made up like looking like
vampires. And it's kind of ait's great. It's almost like a
mini little mini little moviemore than a video so you gotta
check that out. But what it kindof had a similar vibe raise

(12:28):
raise the dead kind of had thishas a similar vibe to that song.
On the last album, so yeah, Imean, yeah, it's definitely I
would think that that songdefinitely stands out from from
the rest of the stuff, which iskind of like more you straight
ahead, like heavy metal stuff.
And but he's cool. Yeah, I thinkhe has a different little twist

(12:49):
on it. And I get we're going tobe playing that one live. So
that's, that's gonna be a goodone. That's

Unknown (12:56):
where there'll be a music video for that one later,
maybe?

Rob Wylde (12:59):
I think so. Yeah, I mean, we've talked about about
that. I think there's definitelygoing to be at least one more
video and I would imagine thatwill be a good one to you know
to do because it can almost likedo they only come out at night?
Part two, maybe? I don't know.
But if you watch a video kind ofkind of see what what I'm
talking about, but I think thatwe've definitely discussed

(13:21):
possibly doing a video for thatfor that song.

Unknown (13:25):
Awesome. Yeah. Or could you like shop some of these
songs to movies and TV showsthat take place in the 80s or
like that when they do an 80sFlashback and they need a song.
And they don't want to payMotley Crue poisoned prices.
Like I'm assuming you guys aredoing a little cheaper. Like I
could definitely see if there'sany ever an 80s zombie movie,
they gotta play raise the dead,like, that'd be perfect.

Rob Wylde (13:48):
I thought that on the last hour as well with it, they
only come out at night becausethe whole idea behind that song
was just kind of, you know,watching laughs boys, which, you
know, anybody's seen a milliontimes, but I was sat with my
girlfriend watching it. And Ihadn't probably not watched it
in probably about 15 yearsbecause it's one of those
movies. You might need your kidyou watch maybe one too many

(14:11):
times, you know? So I rememberwatching them and just thinking
what a great sounds trite numberone and then thinking how cool
would it be? You know, if theydid, you know, a big budget,
almost like you know, they didthe remake of The Top Gun movie
couple years ago? How cool it'dbe they did a remake of a really

(14:34):
cool remake of Lost Boys and Iwould just totally inspired by
it. And then next day actuallywrote that song we taught
totally so almost as a like, I'mwriting this song to go on the
Lost Boys soundtrack sort ofthing. I did actually then the
same really with arrays of dataas well and I have actually

(14:54):
looked into trying to, to youknow, get those songs to the
right people. Obviously, I'vegot a publisher who works with
me and she she's trying totrying especially she'd been
trying to get the onlycommitment night of my last
album, push to two movies andstuff like that and, and raise a

(15:17):
debt will be another one as wellwhich should be, which will be
great. So it's something thatI'm working on as a band, we're
gonna really try and push. Youknow, see if we can make it
happen.

Unknown (15:28):
Yeah, cuz I think it's just sucks because when bands
record these albums, and theymake such great music, and it's
so hard to sell music, so it'dbe nice if you get it on a TV
show or something, then you getsome get paid for, you know,
making that music. Obviously,you're gonna get paid with the
shows too in the merchant lap.
But yeah, it'd be a nice littlechunk of change, for sure.

Rob Wylde (15:47):
You know, in, in Stranger Things or something
like that, you know, be underthe show that we can get some
music on that. That'd be great.

Chuck Shute (15:57):
That would be perfect. That's a great example.
Yeah. I mean, but So speaking oftouring, I mean, so you have
some shows lined up, but Ithought it was crazy that I
heard you talking about that.
You did shows in Japan andAustralia. Like, that's pretty
amazing. So I mean, the bandmust be doing pretty well, if
you're able to tour that faraway.

Rob Wylde (16:14):
Yeah, yeah. I mean, we did. We did Japan in October
2019. So we did, we actually didtwo sold out shows in Japan, we
played in Tokyo and Osaka, whichwas incredible. I mean, it's
been a little kid, you know,it's one of those places. I
mean, what rock band doesn'twant to go to Japan, you know,

(16:34):
because I remember growing up aswell, watching all those
classic, you know, like this kidroll or say, can you scream VHS,
where they're there, they defineit to Japan, they're hanging out
with the fans and stuff. And therap, beat VHS as well. As a
little kid, I was like, one day,I'm gonna go to Japan. And it

(16:57):
happened. And it was absolutelyincredible. So we did that said
October 2018. And then Lich.
Truly, I think it was a weekbefore the whole COVID thing
kicked off. We went toAustralia. And we played a
couple of shows in, inAustralia, which was March 2020.
And, and literally arrived backhome. And then a week later,
like it literally that thatthose gigs that had happened a

(17:21):
week later, we wouldn't havedone them. But but we're
actually going back to Japan inDecember. But we've gotten to
Australia in January, as well.
So we're going back to thosecountries. So looking forward to
it.

Unknown (17:38):
Yeah, it's amazing that you said the Japanese fans can
sing along and know the word seeyour songs, even though they
probably a lot of them don'tspeak English, or don't speak
English very well. It's nottheir first language, but they
know they can sing along to yoursongs.

Rob Wylde (17:52):
Yeah, it was really weird because we went over them.
And it was like, I mean, we playall over Europe, and, you know,
even Australia was was amazing.
But Australia was very, itreminded me in the States, you
know, I used to live in theStates for a few years. Back in
God like 2007 2010, and it verymuch reminded me of is very

(18:16):
similar. Australia is verysimilar to the state. So I
thought, similar kind of vibe,but when you when you arrive
into Japan, it really is likeyou've landed on Mars, it's so
different. And it's just anamazing place. But the one thing
that really did shock me morethan anything was was the fact

(18:37):
that literally, nobody speaksEnglish, you know, at all. And
it's kind of weird, because whenyou go to most countries even if
people don't speak really fluentEnglish, they speak a little bit
of English to get by. We werejust so lucky because we have a
fan of ours from Japan wholiterally follows us all over

(18:58):
the world. And she was with usin Japan and she was actually an
English teacher in Japan. So shewas kind of for the the week
that we were over there she was.
She was exhausted, because shewas just translating literally
everything, you know, we get toget to the one of the gigs and,

(19:19):
you know, she'd have totranslate between the sound guy
and what we needed. Without herI honestly don't know how we
would have got by because they,you know, nobody, really nobody
speaks any English at all, whichwas quite, that was quite
shocked with that, because itjust made me just, you know,
presumed that people would butbut yeah, they didn't. But apart
from that, I mean, it'd be itwas just an incredible

(19:41):
experience. It was really cool.

Unknown (19:43):
That is really cool. So you said, obviously you've been
in the States, but you've nevertoured with this band in the
state. So is that something thatcould possibly happen someday?

Rob Wylde (19:54):
We're hoping so. I mean, we did actually, like
every year we And the theMonsters of Rock cruise happens.
We're constantly bombarded withmessages and emails from people
saying you need to be doingthis. You need to be doing the
cruise and he did the kisscruise with when I used to sing

(20:18):
in Tiger tails which wasamazing. So that was a while
ago, but you know what it wouldbe, it wouldn't be perfect for
midnight city to do the monsterroku. So I am actually speaking
currently to I don't know who itis, but we've basically been
talking to them today aboutpossibly making that happen.

(20:43):
Hopefully, next year fingerscrossed, but but in terms of
actually, you know, coming overand doing a tours, though, but I
don't really know how that I'mnot sure about that. But I
definitely think you know, youget amongst the rock crews that
would that would be really cool.
And then maybe play some showsaround it. Maybe you know,
before before going on the onthe cruise, maybe? I don't know.

(21:05):
So, but we're working on that.
So fingers crossed.

Chuck Shute (21:09):
That would be cool.
Or just like a one of those bigfestivals like a Rocklahoma or
an M three or something likethat. I mean, that might make
sense for you guys to fly out todo something like that.

Rob Wylde (21:19):
Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean, without a doubt I mean,
the Rocklahoma thing is that'sanother thing that's doable. The
the M three things is kind of abit weird because I mean, I love
love every year lineup and thisevery year there's some really
obscure bands that I love thatsong this year Charles play
played and I love all thatstuff. But with the with the M

(21:45):
three stuff. I never really seeany new bands. I don't know what
it tends to be, you know, you'vegot the big names headlining and
then you've got the kind of thesmaller Hair Metal bands and
stuff. I never really see anykind of like new upcoming bands
on that lineup. But I don'tknow. But I mean, EP three will
be great. And you know, Iremember going going to M three

(22:07):
and going got maybe 2010 I thinkit was and it was great
festival, you know, I mean everysingle bond now I was in I was
in Canada, and it was great.

Unknown (22:18):
Yeah, that's I've never done them three. I've never done
it. I've never done the monstersrock or any cruises in my life.
So that's definitely on mybucket list. So it'd be cool if
I could somehow find a way toget the money to go next year.
And you guys were there. That'dbe amazing. Oh,

Rob Wylde (22:30):
that'd be great.
Yeah,

Unknown (22:32):
but you've done some cool.

Rob Wylde (22:34):
What's that? No, carry on. Carry on?

Unknown (22:37):
Yeah, no, I was just gonna say you've already Evert
you have done some cool openingshows and some other you played
festivals with like, JackRussell and La guns and stuff.
And but tell me about openingfor Ted Poli. Because that's
another one that's like, I'venever seen Danger Danger or Ted
poli solo. It's on my bucketlist. How was a plane with him?

Rob Wylde (22:55):
I was great. Yeah, it was great. We had a really good
time. Yeah, we I've met I've metmany times over the years, but
we've never actually playedtogether. So he came over. It
was March we did, I think it wasseven or eight, eight acoustic
shows over here. And I do that alot as well. I do a lot of solo

(23:18):
acoustic shows with variousdifferent people. Yeah, he came
over and we just had an absoluteblast. It was great. And it was
for him, it was kind of a littlebit weird, because it was the
first time you don't need thekind of the acoustic thing. And
he had a great guitar playerwith him from Ireland who was
sort of playing guitar with himas well. And just doing all the

(23:42):
all the classics, and, you know,the best Ted, so he's still
killing it, you know, everysingle night. He's great. And
actually, the, the, the, the,the attendances of all the shows
a really good, actually betterthan, than a lot of the guys
that come over here. But he wasgreat. I mean, he was, he's a

(24:04):
massive influence of minus, youknow, a singer and frontman and
stuff like that. And so it wasjust great to hang out with him
as well, every night, you know,we became really good friends.
And yeah, we've we've kept intouch, you know, spoke to him a
couple of times. Since since hegot back to the States. I think
he's actually talking about itwent so well. I think he's

(24:26):
actually talking about comingback over to the UK and possibly
doing it again next year. Soyeah, but it was fantastic. It
was it was a great, greatexperience and, and a lot of
fun.

Chuck Shute (24:38):
Yeah. Is that something that you could do,
just to get your feet wet in theUS like tour solo acoustically?
Because that's obviously that'sa lot more affordable to just
bring yourself rather than thewhole band.

Rob Wylde (24:49):
Yeah, I mean, that would that would make sense. You
know, I mean, I could literallyjust, I mean, that's the beauty
of doing the solo acousticstuff, is you just rock up with
an acoustic guitar. And then,you know, go for it. So that's
something I mean, I used to dothat quite a lot when I lived in
the States and get away with it.
And always, always really, youknow, because when I was doing a
TED thing I, you know, I'm justdoing all midnight city songs,

(25:11):
you know, just acoustically. Andit really, it definitely
promotes the band. And, youknow, and the I mean, I do that
all the time in between the themidnight city stuff, I'm going
out with my trump in August,he's coming over to do the white
line songs. So I'm doing I thinkabout four or five shows with

(25:31):
him and, and get a few Johncorabi. And a few guys like
that, but But yeah, definitely.
I mean, that could be somethingfrom like you say, a little bit
cheaper than bring the wholeband over. You know, that might
be something might be able to doat some point. Yeah.

Unknown (25:49):
Yeah. That's cool. I didn't know the mother, Mike
trampy. I saw that you'vealready done at least I think
one show with John corabi.
Before right in the past.

Rob Wylde (25:56):
Yeah, I've done a few actually. Yeah, I've done. He
came over last November lastyear. And he did a did a tour.
And I think I did about fourshows with him then. And then I
and then a couple years prior, Idid another show with him. And
he's great as well. I mean, he'sa lovely guy. And yeah, he comes

(26:18):
over here quite a bit. TrumpMike does as well. You know,
it's very spiritual. You know,now, I think like I said, I
think Ted is going to be comingback again. And so I get I get
kind of I seem to be like the goto hair metal guy to them for
you know, he was going overdoing the acoustic stuff. So, so

(26:41):
yeah, so

Unknown (26:43):
cool. What about this tour? We got John karate, Mike
tramp, Ted Poli. And Rob Wildeto the US acoustic solo tour. I
think

Rob Wylde (26:53):
we need to get that book to me. That's, that'd be
great. That'd be really happywhile up for doing that.

Chuck Shute (26:59):
That would be amazing. I find it so you're
telling mentioned Tiger talesearlier, I find it so
fascinating that I've never seenthis before. We're, I'm looking
at your career in that band. Andyou started out playing bass.
And then you played rhythm.

Unknown (27:13):
And then you're saying it's like you got promoted every
day? I've never seen that whereI'm like, first of all, it's
amazing that you can play allthose instruments. I think you
play the drums too. So But talkabout that, because curious how
that happened. How theprogression? It's, it's
interesting to me, I don't Youdon't say?

Rob Wylde (27:28):
Yeah, it was not. And I haven't even played drums as
well, which I'll tell you aboutin a minute. Because that really
funny story. But yeah, it wasvery strange. I mean, I got into
the band through the originaldrummer ace Fincham, who he was
going back to like, 2012,because I was actually in the

(27:49):
band. I left last year, but Iwas in the band for 10 years. So
we do. I mean, there's been alot of band members come on,
come in that band, evenWikipedia. But if you look at
the kind of the timeline, I wasactually in the band for for,
you know, one of the long hourslike one of the longest running
band members. But yeah, I joinedin 2012. As a rhythm guitar

(28:14):
player, he was going in touchand said, You know what, putting
a new lineup together we needneed a second guitar player,
would you be up for it? And ofcourse, I said, Yeah, because as
a kid as a teenager, I was a bigtime details. Finally don't look
them. I used up posters on mywall and stuff. So it's a big
deal for me join. And so Ijoined as a guitar player, we

(28:40):
went out and I think we shot thevideo. And then we went over the
European tour. And then thatlineup ace left the, the bass
player was fired. I mean, theythey brought back their old
drummer who had been in the bandprior to AES. And then I was

(29:01):
asked to switch the bass. So Iswitched the bass and I was in
that lineup was that you know,together for probably about two
and a half years with me playingbass. Then the singer he left
and then he was like, Okay,well, we want you to sing song

(29:22):
and then I moved to singing in Ithink it was 2015 I started
singing. So I did I sign forseven years, which is probably
what I should have been doingall along really but but there
is a funny story that early on.
When I first joined the band, wewere flying to Italy, and we
were at the airport and Ace losthis passport. I don't know how

(29:45):
he did it. We checked on forflight. We were sitting at a bar
and there was a call we were thelast call for passengers blah
blah blah. So we were about toMiss Miss Fly. So we all went
running to the gate. When he gotto the gate, he realized he'd
left Islam. He lost hispassport. So we had no other

(30:06):
option to all get on the planeand sit on the plane. And there
was this soft panic went aroundthe plane as in, you know, as
he's going to be left behind,and we're going to arrive to
Italy with no drama. Until Isaid, Well, actually I complete
drama. I could probably now I'msure we can get through a gig.

(30:27):
So I very, very nearly we canalso became the drama. But on
the last minute, I mean this,this never happens, but swear to
God, we were both takeoff, therewas an announcement over the the
PA and the pilot said we'regoing to be delayed because we

(30:47):
have to actually have to changethe tire on one of the wheels.
So the plane is going to bedelayed for half an hour at nap
time as his passport, and theylet him on the plane. Yeah. But
otherwise I would have I wouldhave done the full. I would have
played every instrument in thatin that band.

Unknown (31:11):
That's hilarious. Wow.
Because that's what youoriginally started out as a
drummer, like really young,right? Is that we got Yeah,

Rob Wylde (31:19):
yeah. Yeah, I started. Yeah, I was really
young. I mean, I started playingdrums first. And then I started
taking guitar lessons when I wasabout nine. And then he started
playing in bands really fromfrom being about 13. And, and
I've kind of done I startedstarted out as a drummer. But I
was always in the bands I was inI was a drummer, but I always

(31:42):
wrote all the songs. And I kindof like, I always felt a little
bit sort of, I'll use when I wasa little kid, I was just really,
really shy. So I like to be atthe back of the drums and sort
of hide behind the drums alittle bit. And as I got a bit
older, I kind of like, you know,became a little bit more
outgoing. And I kind ofeventually move my way forward

(32:04):
to the front of the stage. ButBut yeah, I started really
young. And you know, it's, it'sbeen it's been it's been been
fun. It's been interestingtwice. Let's put it that way.
Yeah. Well,

Chuck Shute (32:17):
so that was your first band was inside out. We
play drums and then China Doll.
Was that the first one you sangwith? And then was that the the
biggest show? First big showthat you did was opening for
danger. Danger?

Rob Wylde (32:28):
Yeah, yeah, we that was 2003 Yeah, we did a tour. We
did the tour actually, they cameover. And that was that was a
big deal to me because I was ahuge, huge Danger Danger fan.
And they haven't been they'veonly been to the UK once before
they came over in Nike to openup for kiss on the revenge tour.

(32:52):
And they hadn't been to the UKsince then. So so they came came
back over in 2003. And Chinadoll was one of the two support
bands on that tour. So it wasgreat. You know, it was that was
a big deal to me back then. Andwe had a great time on that
tour. But yeah, that was thatwas yeah, that 2003 I think it

Unknown (33:13):
was yeah, that would have been that would have been
with Paul lane. Not Ted Pollythen Right.

Rob Wylde (33:17):
Yeah, it was pull pull lane. Rob masala was
playing guitar. And Bruno andSteve. Right.

Unknown (33:26):
So then you started the when you started the teenage
casket company, it was you wereinfluenced by Butch Walker, who
was in that band called Southgang. And then he started the
marvelous three. And that kindof gave you the idea like, Hey,
maybe I can start kind of a moremodern sounding band that's
influenced, kind of by thatmelodic rock kind of more catchy
stuffs kind of like a cheaptrick. Would you call like,

(33:48):
Cheap Trick meets Bon Jovi kindof sound? Yeah.

Rob Wylde (33:51):
Yeah. It was a really weird time. Because I did. I did
the china doll thing in theearly early 2000s. And, and it
was playing sort of melodic rockstroke, her metal around that
time was just, it was just that.
I mean, there's never been amassive scene for that stuff
over here. But back then, Imean, it was literally almost

(34:12):
like dinosaur music. And, youknow, I was really young back
then I was, you know, like,2425. And apart from the Danger
Danger tool, which was gray,when we were going out and
playing we were just playing infront of like, you know, all men
in like, you know, like socksand T shirts and stuff. And I'm
just kind of like, this is notreally what you know, I thought

(34:34):
it was gonna be in the UK at thetime. In terms of rock music, it
was the only things that werereally happening were you know,
there was the new metal stuffwhich was, you know, slipknot
and corn and disturbed and allthat heavy stuff, which I, you
know, absolutely hated. And thenthe only other thing that was

(34:54):
really happening was all the poppunk stuff, which wasn't I'm
overly into either, but I kindof like well, and then, but then
I discovered two bands and I hadno idea. Originally who was in
the bands, I remember hearingthe marvelous three and
thinking, this is really cool.

(35:15):
And then there's another bandcalled 40 foot Ringo. Which I
thought this is really cool. Andthen it wasn't until maybe a
couple of months later that Isaw a picture of both bands that
I might hold on a minute.
That's, that's good. I'm surethat's both walk with him
besides going. And I was like,ah, it is. And then oh, I'm sure
that's PJ Farley and Steve Brownfrom trickster. And then it was

(35:38):
like, There's a reason I likethis stuff. As opposed to, you
know, like Psalm 41, and allthat kind of stuff. Because it
was, even though it wasdefinitely one, there's a lot of
elements that pop punk stuff init, there was still a big chunk
of sub 80s rocking, kind ofburied in this sort of the mix.

(36:00):
And like you say, it's kind oflike more sort of the cheap
trick thing. And, you know, so Ilistened to that stuff and
thought, you know, what I candefinitely do, right, this type
of music, you know, and, and itwas also for me, it was out of
necessity to I knew that Ieither had to update the look
and the sound. Otherwise, I youknow, I'd either have to stop

(36:25):
playing music for a while or,or, you know, I just had it,
because that whole melodic rockthing, which just was not
happening. I mean, now it'scool. Again, now it's cool.
Everybody likes it, again, theimage and everything, but back
then it was, it was almost likea day, or kind of stopped
playing it really. So I kind oflike got the just kind of

(36:48):
updated everything really thesound, you know, got my head
caught and kind of genres.
Nick's been going on for a whileand but it was kind of cool
that, you know, I still keptthat that those 80s rock
elements in what we were doing,but also we're updating it,

(37:09):
which is what marvelous threeand five foot ring goetic,
basically. So we definitely kindof modeled the band on those
two, two bands. Really?

Unknown (37:19):
Yeah, no, I love it.
It's good stuff. Do you thinkthat you think though maybe that
maybe that's why you guys didn'tbreak through to the next
levels, because maybe you didhave a little bit too much of
the 80s. Like, the 80s peoplewere like, well, this is too
punky. And then the pop punkpeople were like, well, this is
sounds a little too 80s It'skind of like you're stuck in
between?

Rob Wylde (37:37):
I think so. Yeah. I think that's exactly what it
was. Because we I mean, thatband was together a long time.
It was like 13 years. And and weplayed everywhere. I mean, we
did and we did two Americantours as well. We did a tour in
2005. And then we did in 2006.
We did a tour with reigns ofJana and the erotics and also

(38:00):
Stevie Rochelle. So Steve,Michelle was with us. And it was
in the metals. Okay. I thinkit's called a mountain bulls
lunch somewhere extravaganza orsomething like that. If you look
online, you'll find you find thetour. And that was, that was a
summer of 2006. So we toured allthe time. I mean, we were doing

(38:26):
looking back, and I know it wasridiculous. And we would do like
150 shows a year, playingeverywhere. And we had this kind
of like wheel cult following,but we were never able to kind
of get from here to here. And Ithink it was what you just said
that I think new people maybe itwas people were just confused.

(38:48):
It was too. It was kind of afew, a little bit of a few
different things. But nothingthat, you know, I do think
people like to almost hearsomething and kind of label it
and say, Okay, this is this typeof band. This is that type of
plan. And we were kind of like amix of a lot of different
things. And I think that'sprobably why we maybe got

(39:11):
overlooked a little bit.

Unknown (39:14):
Well, yeah, and then I mean, because I've talked to a
lot of musicians that kind ofsay a similar thing, where, in a
way, like they're just, youknow, you weren't really being
true to yourself, like youreally wanted to go all in, like
with the midnight city. That'sreally what your vision for a
band was deep down, like youwere just trying to kind of
change it to fit and itultimately like this is more who

(39:34):
you really are is what you'redoing right now.

Rob Wylde (39:37):
Yeah. 100% I mean, it was it always was I mean, it was
always you know, I mean, I neverwanted to do anything but this
music but in that period, therewas just no, you just couldn't
do it you just unless you werewanting to go out and play in
front of three people and andsell 10 albums. It was either
you know, you have to updatewhat you're doing or just Have

(40:00):
you stopped doing it, you know,for a while and hope that things
come back around whichultimately, we always do. But at
the time it was it was, youknow, Rob was saying, you know,
Rob Langley, we're talkingabout, you know, he come from
the same thing as, you know,similar age pretty much the same
age. And he'd been the same asme, you know, he'd grown up on

(40:20):
poisoned water and Danger,danger. And, and he, you know,
was exactly like me, he kind ofrealized that, you know, almost
like, he saw the iceberg when Idid is like, Okay, well, we
needed the exact same thing. Hekind of updated his image and
his style, and, and it was justsomething that we just had to do

(40:41):
at the time. And, you know, Ilook back on that on that band.
And it was, it was a great,great period of my life as well,
you know, I don't have anyregrets over it. It was a lot of
fun. But, but yeah, I mean, whatI'm doing now is what I've
always always wanted to do. Youknow, there's no doubt about
that.

Unknown (41:00):
Yeah, I mean, the first album that you guys midnight
city had, there goes theneighborhood, it seemed like it
got really good reviews andreally good reception. I mean, I
read that it was like fifth bestalbum and classic rock magazine,
one of the best albums of theyear for burn magazine in Japan.
But my question is that firstalbum, whose ass is that on the
cover?

Rob Wylde (41:21):
Well, a lot of people thought it was mine originally.
But it definitely isn't. Yeah, Iyou know, I don't know, it was
it was the record label. Some ofour department came up with
that, that the album coverwhich, at the time, everybody in
the band, I always thought Ithought it was quite cool. But
everybody in the band hated thealbum. Basically, what happened?

(41:44):
And what happened was they sentabout, they just kept sending.
There was a little bit of amiscommunication thing, because
we were on for the first twoalbums, we were on a German
label. And then I think theissue was, they didn't really
understand what their goals areneighborhood. Something means,

(42:04):
you know, the phrase, you know,like, we all know what those a
neighborhood means, you know,but I don't think they got that.
So we were trying to say, well,this is sort of what it means.
And, you know, so they was theyjust keep sending these album
covers that were just awful. Itwas just No, no, no. And then in
the end, the label kind ofstarted getting pissed off and

(42:27):
said, Look, you either youeither have to pick one of these
album covers, or the album isgonna get delayed by six months.
So So then it was kind of like,well, this one's probably the
best of a bad bunch, which isthe one that we chose. So, but
to me, I mean, I liked the albumcover, I think, I mean, it just
screams you know, when you pickup that album, there is no,

(42:49):
there is no doubt as to whatkind of music you know, you're
going to be listening to, youknow, so, and it kind of has
that, you know, it was like thatscrew it sort of, you know,
cherry pie, you know, when youwhen you look at the outcome of
what you know, it's going to bewhat kind of music you're going
to be listening to so. So yeah,but it but I don't know who the
girl was, I think he was just Idon't think it was photoshopped

(43:13):
or I don't I have no idea.

Unknown (43:16):
That's funny. So for a while you were doing the
midnight city and the tigertails. Then you finally left the
tiger tails and 2022. Tail. Inever understood this. It said
you left Tiger tails due toirreconcilable differences. What
what does that mean? I alwayshear that I'm always like, what,
but okay, but really whathappened?

Rob Wylde (43:36):
Um, good question. It was a tricky one. I mean, I
enjoy doing I love singing tinydetails. You know, I had a great
time and I never say anythingotherwise. And we played some
amazing shows. Like said thekiss Cruise was, you know, as a
massive kiss fan, that was areal dream come true for me, you

(43:58):
know, getting to meet kids and,and we played some amazing
festivals out in Europe. And,and it was great time. You know,
I, I don't have any regrets. Butwe're tired. It's always it's
always been a lot, a lot ofstuff going on behind the
scenes. And, you know, I mean,if you look at how many band

(44:21):
members have come and gone in, Imean, yeah, I mean, they've been
together forever. But I mean, ityou know, I mean, I think that
in the time that I was in theband, I think there was six five
or six lineup changes, you know,so it was it was more what was
going on. So behind the scenes,that it was it just made it kind

(44:45):
of an impossible situation forme to still be involved and I
you know, I'm not gonna throw myname anybody under the bus or
anything like that, but it just,I thought about leaving for
quite a while, probably a yearbefore I did. And it was a shame
because I could have easily donecarried on doing both. Because

(45:05):
titles, never really, when Ifirst joined, we were really
busy. And then the last fewyears, we do maybe, you know,
two or three shows a year or,but I could have definitely
carried on doing it, you know,but it was there was just too
many things going on behind thescenes. And it was just, yeah,
he just, it was just one ofthose situations that I just

(45:28):
sort of figured, you know, it'sbest for me to kind of step away
from it. And, and that's what Idid so. So yeah, so that's it
really, I'm not gonna, I'm notgonna I'm not gonna dish any
dirt. So it makes sense. Quitecool. You know, they've, you
know, I mean, there's two sidesto every story. You know, I

(45:48):
could obviously say a lot ofthings. But, you know, I'm not
going to you know, it was all Iwas saying the, you know, it was
good while it lasted. I don'thave any regrets at all. And,
but it was, it was time to moveon.

Unknown (46:02):
Sure. Because I think if you notice that too, like the
older you get, the kind of lesslike bullshit you want to put up
with, like, you want to just dowhat makes you happy. And it
sounds like midnight city iswhat makes you happy. And you
want to just focus on that. Andyou don't want to be like, Okay,
well, I should do this to makepeople happy. Or I should stay
here because this might be abigger band, or what are the

(46:22):
sub, you know, I get to do thekiss cruise with this, like, Who
gives a shit like you want todo? What makes you happy? And
then I feel like the good stuffwill come eventually.

Rob Wylde (46:31):
Yeah, I mean, exactly, you hit the nail on the
head. I mean, and it was also,you know, when you when you when
stuff gets to a point where it'skind of you're, you're getting
anxious about doing stuff. Imean, that shouldn't be

Unknown (46:46):
you know, dreading it or whatever, you write

Rob Wylde (46:48):
it down a little bit.
And, and, you know, it shouldbe, you know, obviously, it's
work, you know, it's what we dofor a living, and you got to
take it really serious, but atthe same time, you do have to,
it is supposed to be fun. Andit's no fun, then, you know, you
shouldn't be doing it. And thatwas kind of what, in the end was

(47:12):
sort of what was happening withtitles. It just wasn't fun. It
was it was it was just a lot ofstress. And I'm just like, I
don't really need this in mylife. You know, it's supposed to
be, you know, supposed to be funwith me, and I suppose we have a
good time, you know? And, yeah,so that's, that's it really, and
probably for that as well, youknow, I'm not saying, you know,

(47:33):
I'm not throwing anybody underthe bus, but it was just a which
is it just wasn't working. Andit was just time to time to move
on. We go away from it. Really?

Unknown (47:43):
Yeah. So with this new album with midnight city, what
are your expectations or goals?
For it to when it comes out?
What do you want to happen?

Rob Wylde (47:53):
What Wait, you know what I mean, we've we're kicking
off at towards pretty much likethe setting in two weeks time on
second June, we're doing a UKtour, which takes us all the way
through to the whole way throughJune. And then we got some
festivals festival in Europe, inSeptember, and like I said,

(48:17):
Japan, in December, Australia inJanuary. And for us, it is just
all about kind of building aband back up because we were it
was quite frustrating, really,because we had you know, we made
so much momentum on the firsttwo albums, and we were kind of
really, you know, we felt likewe were kind of doing this and

(48:39):
then then the whole COVID thinghappened. And it really felt
like the kind of like the rugbeen pulled from beneath us
really. And third album. Youknow, we was recorded during
COVID. And it was it was it, wecouldn't really go out and tour
and it was a weird time. So itwas so it's great now that we're

(49:02):
you know, with this new album,that everything's everything's
back to normal, we can properlyget properly tore this album.
And that's what we're planningon doing, we will at least spend
a year and a half, at leasttrying to, you know, turn on the
back of this album. And in youknow, we we do a lot of like I

(49:22):
said a lot of festivals andstuff like that. So we've
actually got a new booking agentin Europe, who's at the minute
template called festivals was toplay out there and, and also a
tour with them. I think onething we need more than anything
is just to get on a on a good, agood, good tour, you know, which

(49:43):
is something that we've beentrying to do for a few years
now, which is it's not that easyto do. But that's I think that's
one thing that we need, I mean,ideally like we were talking
earlier about the you know, thethe you know, the stuff that It
goes, that goes on, you know,the arena tours and stuff. You

(50:04):
know, ideally, the stadium tour,you know, the poison Def
Leppard, something like that.
What would have been amazing forus? You know? But I think, yeah,
just trying to get on a goodtour, I think is a part of
magic, just keeping the momentumgoing. Because it's, you know,
so far, so good, you know, sowe're just trying to keep it,
keep it rolling.

Unknown (50:27):
Ya know, I'd love to see like a melodic Rock Tour.
Like, I feel like that. I mean,I'm sure there's been stuff in
the past, but it seems likelately, there hasn't been one
but it'd be cool to seesomething like warrant and
Winger. And you guys and like aTED poli like all just like it
like five or six bands, likesomething a little like little
Meteor than just like one or twoor three, you know, like, let's
have like four or five, or six,like, really good bands. I think

(50:50):
that'd be really fun. And thenthen you guys, you know, the
more bands, I feel like thebigger venues you can play. So
it makes me

Rob Wylde (50:56):
Yeah, that's it. I mean, we'd love to do that. I
mean, that'd be the icing on thecake for us, really. I mean,
there is talk of, actually thereis talk about a festival
happening over here in the UKwith some, you know, a few in
the early stages have kind ofbeen organized at the minute,

(51:17):
but there's apparently aboutthree or four big American
bands, and we've been throwninto the hat as well. We'll just
be a one off because there wasactually a festival over here,
which used to happen every year,in October, it was called Fire
fest. And it would happen overthree days at a venue here in

(51:38):
Notting Hill called Rock City,which is kind of like almost
like the, you know, the kind ofalmost like the Whiskey a Go Go
