Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and girls from all around town
for the next state. Welcome to the greatest show on
Earth period back to the eighties Circus sixt rabble Hands.
We have fun, clowns, skits, and a trip all the
way back to the nineteen eighties before ringing became brotherhood.
If I could have your attention, put your ears, eyes,

(00:49):
and your fat thighs on the center ring Here he
is a man of steel, of sheer vocal talent, a
menace to latigro shirts, a man that wressell two Dan tigers.
I give you the one and only swall Italy listener,
Tusty TUSCD.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the one and only back
to the eighties radio, and I want to welcome you
from everywhere around this globe. Thank you for joining Toscano
and Chang. We are back and we are better than
ever before. Next to me, ladies and gentlemen, just as
my introduction, allow me to return the favor, because next

(01:31):
to me is a man who swears that he never
liked New Wave, yet somehow knows every word to the song,
just like Heaven Sign and the exact length of Robert
Smith's hairspray routine. He's a man who says that disco
is for people who are afraid of distortion, and alternative

(01:54):
music is for people who couldn't commit to real guitars.
Still in the eighties, he would reportedly seen in White
spandex arguing with bartenders about Iron Maiden while don't you
want me played in the background, ladies and gentlemen, the

(02:14):
very conflicted, the very opinionated, the very infamous.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Chang Ah, there's nothing like being insulted before I come
to the air with It's similar to my sexual performance
that my wife criticizes. They call me the twenty second diver.

(02:42):
And I'm not talking about ocean.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh yeah, you know, I respect you more than ever
now because the honesty, the transparency.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Well, well you know what about I firmly believe this.
Women are more honest than men. Men are are always
on the machiesmos side. They have to look tough, be strong,
you have to be the leader of your group. So
a lot of men kind of trample on the truth.

(03:10):
But yes, I will not. I will tell you for
my age, it is happening. It's not happy. That's what
I call him when he does that mister unhappy, and
I've tried everything.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
So let me ask you is to say. And we're
only on the subject because I'm going to put it
back into the eighties thing. So do you think there's
anything that we used to do back in the nineteen
eighties that you can do today to maybe bring mister
happy back to its soulful, joyful self.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Certainly cocaine, okay, of course, being back on stage singing
a couple of tunes. Not pretty metal, good metal things
like that. Oh and the number one thing the hair
I had on my head when I was twenty one
and on. It used to go all the way down
past I rep them. I would be able to tickle

(04:03):
my own taint with the tips of my hair, and
they did not have split ends.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
See long story short Chang does have a full head
of hair. Ladies, gentlemen may not be to his buttocks anymore,
but it is down to probably pass this shoulders Chang.
I want to give a very special shout out to
a few people, A quick shout out to all those
people listening around the world and here in the United

(04:28):
States from New York City, A big shout out to
Eric Shores, the author of the newest nineteen eighties book
that's going to go crazy on the shelves everywhere you
can get a book, especially here. Back to the Eighties.
You can get this copy. Life Goes On Lessons we
learned from Eighties Music launches this month in November, So

(04:49):
keep in touch here. You can't miss that. Thank you
guys for being with us. Here on Back to the
Eighties Radio as we return, and we have a great
show for you guys. So when we come back, stick
around because we're gonna be talking about those bands from
the nineteen eighties that covered other bands songs that made
him even bigger. You're listening to Back to the Eighties.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Oh look, God, he's tough, but sweete he's so fine.
He can't be beat. He's kind of desire you since
this summersde on fire.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Okay, well, tay.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Go see you when son goes down. Ain't no fun by.

Speaker 6 (06:23):
I want to talk too, Honor.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
So sweet you make my mouth full?

Speaker 5 (06:32):
Okay, well kay me.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah, Kenny on the base, that's nothing better.

Speaker 8 (07:07):
Candy ways this.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
So soon make you candy all time?

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Any candy.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Welcome back to Back to the Eighties Radio. You are
locked in with Toscano and Chang and that was I
want candy. Bow wow wow wow wow. Oh yes, and
everybody tonight's show, we're going to be talking about remakes,
recovers and that is originally from the Strange in nineteen

(08:01):
sixty five. Sixty five was a great year. The Beatles
were kicking ass I was born, enough said, but my god,
bow wow wow. That that was a very interesting band
because I always thought that bah wah wah, which they
probably are, you can dance to a lot of music
you can dance to, but it was a bit kind

(08:24):
of poppy, a bit kind of I don't want to
say DISCOI maybe reggae danceable kind of like an alternative rock,
but not really, although the band's a physical prowess and
the way they looked you could kind of say they
were punk, especially the young lady that used to sing

(08:45):
for them. I mean, what two different quotas of hair.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
This band was put together in nineteen eighty by guess who.
Right into the show, and let us know when we
come back, I'm going to tell you who put this
band together. When we come back from the following break,
I'm gonna tell you guys and give you, guys the answer.
If you get the answer right, and you're my top
two people that write in at FM Eighties Radio at

(09:11):
gmail dot com. Once again FM eights Radio at gmail
dot com. We're gonna give you some shirts with back
to the Eighties Radio. This new version was eleven on
the US Billboard Hot one hundred.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
You know what to its own right, Yeah, it was it,
you know, I got to say they made it their own.
I was now familiar that these Strange Loves had originally
done that song. I've heard their version a lot different.
The thing with bow Wow Wow that intrigues me is
they captured pop music, kind of alternative punkish, but they

(09:48):
put that kind of Caribbean reggae into that, and hell man,
that just takes you to another realm and another vibration
of music, very similar to reggae, where you can you
can move your body to reggae, very easy, centrally. And
I think bah Wah Wah was a faster version of

(10:08):
reggae to where you could move your body, but more
of a sexual prowless, a fun loving party kind of prowess.
You know, bah Wow Wah that song I think you
could dance by yourself, reminding me of Billy Idol, Dan
Friend wit Mals.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
So this is the version that made half of the
United States think that I Want Kenny was born in
the eighties. By the way, a lot of people didn't
know that it was original a song from nineteen sixties,
and this is I Guess sixty five. I guess covers.
Covers are like a double edged sword in my opinion,
because when a band is really good. For example, there

(10:47):
were a lot of the eighties bands that we're going
to go through tonight that made some of the songs
that were from back in the sixties and seventies sound
even better. And one of the things that I that
I mean by double edge, which sort, is that because
you didn't hear from the original, then you end up
liking the cover song or the band that covered it
better than the original. Since it is my church, I'm

(11:10):
going to talk to you about a band that was
born in Los Angeles, a band that from the seventies
became one of the top ten, or probably top five
or even top three in some people's opinions of top
rock bands of all time. Definitely had one of the top,

(11:30):
if not the top guitarist in the history of rock.
And they covered Before I mentioned the name of the band,
they covered a song from the Kinks. Okay, that started
as the sixties riff, but this band called van Halen

(11:50):
poured jet fuel on it and used it as their
calling card. And for a lot of us that were
seventies and early eighties kids, this was the first time
that we had heard the song that Eddie van Halen
basically turned a British Invasion classic into a blueprint for

(12:12):
eighties hard rock guitar. And I'm talking about the one
and only song You Really Got Me from van Halen.
What do you think of that one?

Speaker 3 (12:20):
You know what that is? That's a freaking home run, brother.
I mean, I could not have thought of a better
band that did a song from a rock band, a
hard rock band from the sixties as van Halen. Of course,
I think up until it became Van Hagar and Diamond

(12:41):
Dave got an ego and they went in to jump
and of course MTV killed the radio before that era,
I thought van Halen was top not I.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Had to throw that one in the exactly what I
had to throw v.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
And you know what's funny, because I was thinking the
Kings when I first started talking in my own head
about the artist that I was talking about. Now. The
Kinks also did some different renditions of other prior songs.
But I think anybody that could cover the Kinks and
make it their own is spectacular. You know, Brother van

(13:19):
Halen one of my favorite bands, Diamond Dave electrifying doing
martial art kicks, Eddie van Halen mastering it, fingering the
guitar like it was a twenty year old virgin Lord
Have Mercy. That band was everything. When I listened to
Van Halen, my mind goes all the way back to

(13:41):
summers in southern California, you know, from my junior high
era of seventh and eighth grade, all the way into
high school. I mean I went to see them twice.
I was very let down when they played in eighty
three at the US Festival because I knew they were
all fucked up, and they played like they were all

(14:04):
fucked up, and it really went bad. Because I was
all fucked up and a lot of people were all
fucked up.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
It all sounded great. It sounded great for error.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Actually, no, you see what you see?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
You guys could tell it was really bad.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Well, you know what you can tell if you're like
a true fan. Or if you're a musician, now you know,
I'm not patting myself on the back. I didn't play
the acts. I didn't play the bass, didn't play the drums.
I didn't even play the flute. But I could sing,
and uh, you know, it's kind of the same thing.
Singers use their voice as an instrument. But everybody has

(14:39):
that vibe, that feeling, that timing in them. So of course,
you're a member of a band or a musician, I
think in any form, Uh, you're aware of the ups
and downs and the wrongs. When songs go good or
go bad. You're aware of, like, oh, the highs and
the lows where your anticipy, You're anticipation. We'll take that song.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
A lot of times bands that tried to recopy songs
don't captivate that, and sometimes under the influence is just
the bad thing.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
I've got one more band before I turn it over
to you. I've got one more band. That way we
can take it into the break and then we come
back to get your couple of choices. Now, this following
band is up my alley, not up yours. This is
the only time metal heads secretly danced and then denied

(15:38):
it to this following song. The original Funky Town by
Lips Incorporated was peak disco song nineteen eighty. It was
glossy funky and then a few years later a bunch
of guys from Australia the band called Pseudo Echo. They said,
what if we drag Funky Town out of the disco
and into the new wave rock world, So they loaded

(16:00):
it with guitars. Since in eighties attitude and their version
became a hit in its own right and gave the
song a second life with kids who were in the
eighties that they were done with disco but still loved
a good dance track. Ladies and gentlemen, Here, I'm back
to the eighties radio. Before we get Chang's take on

(16:23):
this one, Van Halen with you Really Got Me, followed
by Pseudo Echo and then come back with the hater's opinion.
Here back to the eighties radio.

Speaker 9 (16:35):
I'm here for my appointment, doctor, count Dracada. When are
you going to come in through the door? Forgive me now,
just because i'm your psychiatrist doesn't.

Speaker 7 (16:42):

Speaker 10 (16:44):
I'm so upset.

Speaker 3 (16:45):

Speaker 11 (16:46):
I'm never satisfied.

Speaker 9 (16:48):
You need an extra bite.

Speaker 7 (16:49):
I love an extra bie.

Speaker 8 (16:51):
Have you tried Baby Ruth?

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Does she live alone? The candy bar account.

Speaker 9 (16:55):
Baby Ruth is bigger than most other leading candy bars,
so you get an extra bite in every bar.

Speaker 10 (17:00):
But how does it taste?

Speaker 8 (17:01):
I'm very picking delicious.

Speaker 9 (17:03):
Baby Ruth has lots of fudge and nuts and caramel.

Speaker 10 (17:06):
Yum. I love that.

Speaker 8 (17:07):
But doctor, this big Baby Ruth must be very expensive.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Not at all.

Speaker 9 (17:12):
Count, you get an extra bite in every bar of
Baby Ruth without paying extra.

Speaker 10 (17:15):
That's amazing.

Speaker 12 (17:17):
I'll go to the store and get a big bunch
of bigger Baby Ruths.

Speaker 7 (17:20):
Who knows, maybe I'll stay home tonight.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Back to the eighties radio? You just heard Pseudo Echo
with Funky Town before that, Yes, you heard the one
at Only van Halen where you really got me. And
before we get Chang's opinion on this, I want to
remind everybody listening, wherever you are around the world, go
ahead and send us a little note if you'd like
to share whatever your problems are. We can give you

(25:22):
sound advice for next week because we have the doctors
coming in, So you can write to us at FM
Eighties at FM Eighties Radio at gmail dot com. Before
the break, I told you guys, there's going to be
a little trivia for the top two emails we get
at FM Eighties Radio at gmail dot com. You're going
to get a free back to the Eighties t shirt

(25:46):
in the color of our choice. Of course, The question
was who was the person who formed the band Bow
Wow Wow in nineteen eighty in London. This man is
also responsible for managing Adam and the ants. Who was he? Hey,

(26:06):
some of you remember the eighties five right, well, it
lives loud and proud on back to the eighties with
my pals to Scato and Jay.

Speaker 19 (26:25):
You remember the first time you tried these games space
cap bluck with practice coptain you'll see. And when you
first tried coke you said, no, thank you, but let's
try and coke again, because once you got that new
wave taste, do you want to.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Try it again and again and again?

Speaker 13 (26:44):
Practice mast catch the way.

Speaker 10 (26:46):
Of the cocaine.

Speaker 15 (26:47):
If they were a laxity, they'd be so powerful you
could stand on your head and on the ceiling.

Speaker 20 (26:54):
That position would not only be unavailable but also undignified.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
And now to the eighties with Toscato and Chang. The
man responsible for basically building the band Bow Wow Wow
was Malcolm McLaren. So if you said, Malcolm McLaren, congratulations,
you are the winner of her Back to the Eighties
t shirt. What did you think of the pseudo Echo?

(27:19):
Because I know you weren't too much of a fan
of new wave bands or alternative bands. Now ever, you
know what, I was.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Pretty much bewildered because I did enjoy the song. I
do not like a lot of the techno that was
put into music. I didn't like the keyboard on the
guitar frame. It reminded me of Journey of Jonathan Kane,
and I'll always think that he destroyed.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Oh my gosh, ladies and gentlemen, listen to this man.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
A minute, Wait a minute. I'm a big Greg Rawley fan.
Him and Neil Sewan started that band, so who they
came from Santana To our listeners that don't know that
frivolous trivia.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
You probably hate synthesizers, don't you. You know, probably hate
when Van Halen started using him in eighty four.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yes, I did, because I felt that was a cheap
way to create a good sound of music. I thought
that they bowed down to the pop culture. And yeah,
I'm gonna say MTV style of music play, I will
say that, of course you would. And of synthesized drums,

(28:34):
I think it takes away the essence of the pounding
of the skins, just like it does synthesize any type
of a musical instrument or your or your vocals to.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Me it So wait a second way, sac wait, So
that means are you against using keyboards to make sounds
of instruments that normally are not played like, for example,
what we just heard funky Town and this part right here. Okay,

(29:07):
So you mean to tell me that you don't like
that part because it was made on a scent.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
No, because that part originally is also on a keyboard
type instrument.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
So I do like it.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
So you pick and choose, right, I can choose what
my ears like and don't I mean, please, come on,
it's like my penis. If I let it think for itself,
I'd be a holy high halwa. But I don't. Now
you're you're already pinpointing to be ahavior, and I don't
want our listeners to buy into that type of rhetoric.

(29:39):
Donald Trumpella, he's the greatest. But I will tell you this,
I did dig that song. It was interesting because when
we started watching. When I watched the video, of course
everything's on video everything. Of course, of course the haircuts
came in to play before you any facial awareness. I

(30:02):
thought of you too. I thought of gajah goo goo,
I thought of of that. What's the name of that?
Do take on Me?

Speaker 10 (30:16):
The take on Me?

Speaker 2 (30:17):
By Aha? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
So the hairstyle on point with the eighties. But I
will tell you it kept the grooving dance beat going
as the original did, but yet it took it to
a rock and level to where you can rock and
roll and dance at a rock club. To this, uh,
you can dance at a house party if it was

(30:39):
on video. So I really did like the version that
they replicated. So, yes, I am not a miracle. I
you know what observe?

Speaker 6 (30:53):
Right?

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yes you do? I I agree?

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Oh my god? Counter addicting me?

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Is that is that?

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Missus?

Speaker 16 (30:59):
Old?

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, I'm dying. Hold hold on, hold on, hold, I
need to dial somebody. Hold on, yeah, can I speak
with E please? I want to speak with the king?

Speaker 21 (31:14):
Hey man, hold on man, I hete John Man, Elvis,

Speaker 7 (31:40):
Man?

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Elvis? You're on the line with Toscato and take here
with back to the eighties radio and we're talking about
cover bands that are from the eighties, regular bands from
the eighties that are covering other songs from the sixties
and seventies. Let me ask you a question of us
shoot my nam because we need to tell people that, hey,
I'm just playing John.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Every time I'll say shoot John Lennon ducks. Wow, No way, man,
What was the question man? On my ludes?

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Is there a problem with using synth synthesizers in music
of the eighties because they made some of the biggest hits.
And there's no problem with making big hits. You should
know you had the biggest hits in history.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Let me tell you right now, man, oh man, in
my day, we didn't use synthesizers, and man, we used
the feeling from the Lord Bove, the great spirit that
gave us the telling to create the greatest music of
all times. And of course I won't tell you right now. Yes,

(32:40):
rock and roll and myself took so did Jerry Lee.
He took the Soul sisters.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
You know what.

Speaker 6 (33:37):
You go away.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Let's jump in the mirror together and.

Speaker 13 (33:41):
Oh my way, Oh got a hole.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Come on up here on me you Cloud nine. I
got John Lennon and Alsie and Kurt Cobain stop. And
Kirk Cobain lost his head when.

Speaker 10 (33:54):
He got on the cloud with us.

Speaker 22 (33:55):
Man, baby Mama, thank you just got a shang. Thank
you for everything. But I got my supplements that I
must attend ae up there. You got an have sandwiches
for me. I'm already hungry.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
Hey, I got a whole lot of peanut butter banana sandwiches.
Man I got a whole lot of devil dust to
get on up here so we could take a selfie
and be more handsome. Letting me be.

Speaker 21 (34:27):
All right.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
That was Elvis and Elvis. Ladies, you want to thank
you well, lit Chang. Both kings know that there was
no problem in using technology to make songs even greater.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Well, remember they're both dead.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Well they got a point though.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Yeah, but you can't say anything negative in heaven or
you're gonna get kicked out.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Here's what I think. I think it's your turn, my friend,
to give us a song that was covered back in
the nineteen eighties.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Okay, here's something from I know an artist. All of
all of you are going to be shot. How the
did chant come up with this artist?

Speaker 13 (35:02):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (35:03):
There he went, He had a way down the F
bomb there he went.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
F bomb, F bomb. There's a song right here, Evan
of the Morning, done in nineteen eighty one. Who no
other than Juice Newton, which is an original soundtrack from
Eddie Sands in nineteen sixty seven. I was barely in

(35:31):
a toilet in sixty seven. Well, first of all, Juice Newton,
she had a very interesting voice, very mallow, soft tone, monotone,
you know, poppy, but not you know, you know, she
was like something you listen to in the elevator when
you're running late for work, but you don't want to

(35:52):
be stressed out, but you want to keep tapping your foot.
But please, Juice never ever quench my third the names
alone Juice and Newton Newton, I think about a guy
sitting under a tree getting hit by an apple with
Brian Mayhare Juice, I think of oj Simpson, I think

(36:13):
of mixed drinks. It didn't sink for me. I didn't
like either version. There, I said it both. Of course
you didn't, because the hater never likes anything but metal.
But just to let you know, that recording, that eighty
one recording on the album Juice became the highest charting
and best selling US version, number four on the Billboard

(36:36):
Hot one hundred, number one for three weeks on the
Adult Contemporary Billboard, and number twenty two on a chart
that I would never see as a kid or as
an adult, on the Country chart. And just to let
you know, it was also one of the earliest videos
ever played on MTV. So did you say something? First

(37:01):
of all, out of the right of Jim Morrison to
those who enjoyed the juice without feeling yeah fresh, be
full of strange when you're a stranger. Boys, it seem
ugly when you're alone, when it seem wicky, juice sunk tasty.

Speaker 15 (37:25):
What I really think that?

Speaker 3 (37:26):
She sucks up?

Speaker 6 (37:28):
Pee you?

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Okay? How was that? Jim Morrison?

Speaker 2 (37:31):
All right?

Speaker 3 (37:32):
All right, Phil? He enjoyed that Boys and girls?

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Anyway, I hate my own song? I love it?

Speaker 2 (37:43):
All right? Now, do you have another? Well, let let's
do something.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Let's have another song. I hate so we throw stones
at me? Where where in Hell's name is Jesus to
stop you and the listeners from throwing hate stones at me?
I don't care, so really in America, Captain Mexico.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Let's let's do something. Let's have a special moment, and
let's talk about before we continue on the subject of
the cover bands this month in nineteen eighty seven, what
were some of the things that happened every once in
a while. We'd like to jump into the DeLorean punch
in a date and see what's going on on this

(38:27):
month back in the greatest decade of all time. And
today we're setting the controls for November nineteen eighty seven.
This was the month when the eighties were in full glorious,
confused bloom, metal was roaring, pop was ruling the malls,
and somewhere in between a thousand or more poor cassette

(38:52):
players were being eaten alive. In November nineteen eighty seven,
you had former Beatles going head to head on the
same day at the record store. You had a teenage
redhead named Tiffany taking over the malls and charts, and
you had Bruce Springsteen getting all introspective on Tunnel of Love.
By the Way, Madonna turning the living rooms into dance floors,

(39:15):
and somewhere down in southern California in excess was filming
a video practically in our own backyard. And because this
is back to the eighties, we're gonna walk you through
some of the madness of what was on.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
The charts and what was hitting the shelves, which.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Songs made metal heads like Chang question their life choices
every time they accidentally heard them. Let's fire this up
really quick, and let's go back nineteen eighty seven.

Speaker 23 (39:45):
I got mamonse go Ma moonset, I got my MOONSE
got my moon, said ebuddy, it's gonna take the money out,

Speaker 8 (40:11):
It's gonna take time, whole lot of precious time.

Speaker 7 (40:17):
It's gonna take patience and time.

it up to one another. Thing try again away into
the night. And then you put your hands around and
with almost to the ground, and then you say.

Speaker 6 (47:56):

Speaker 3 (48:00):
Welcome back to Back to the eighties radio. I firmly
believe everybody is of one race, the human race. I
don't give a damn what color you are, what sexuality
you have. I don't care your political status, I don't
care your religion, your social status. I believe the only
way that we are going to reach prosperity is in unity.

(48:22):
We had always something there to remind me back in
nineteen eighty three, by whose eyes naked eyes?

Speaker 10 (48:30):
Now?

Speaker 3 (48:30):
When I first heard the name Naked Eyes, I thought
of I thought of Stevie wonder hrld. Oh my god.
See there's more joke. Sorry about that, everybody, No pun intended.
If I could see my microphone, I would actually if
I was in sixty if I could see my penis,

(48:51):
it would be a big thing. That song originally came
out in nineteen sixty four by Lou Johnson. Now that rendition, whoa, whoa,
both renditions. Wow. Something to think about. The lyrical content alone,
however you put it instrumentally strong, There's always something there

(49:17):
to remind me of no matter what scenario there, Tuscano,
bash the hate flag on me on that hah, Now, Tuscano.
That song was originally done by here's an artist. You're
gonna You're gonna fly over your terrat that I loved
Burt backerat back in the early sixties. Who doesn't love
Burt Backerac. As a matter of fact, your hair is

(49:38):
changing colors into the Burt back Orac scenario. I will
call you Tusky Backerac as well. You should, my friend
as well, you should thank you. Just some trivia to
cast amongst the ears back to the eighties radio. But
I'm sure you already did your research. You already had

(49:58):
it up on one of the fire screens in your yojo. Yeah,
as comparison to the three I have here. That's how
we work, Ladies and gentlemen. We don't get funded. We
kick ass with their own sweat and blood. Right her,
back to the Ages radio. Please please, you know I
was expecting you to say, visit us on our Patreon page.

(50:20):
Jump a little bit in there. We'll give you soieties right,
Please let us help you by helping us. Just got
on the hair dye.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
I do so, ladies, gentlemen, that was Chang's I don't
like this song, but I totally do. Picknaked Eyes always
always something there to remind me. Here's a band that
I'm just gonna I'm just gonna go flat out and
say it. This is a band that recorded from nineteen
seventy three a tune from Slade that didn't even want
to record this song, but their label, okay, their label

(50:52):
pushed them to cover this song. They went in and
basically trying to sabotage it, did it in one take, okay,
because they said, you know, we're not gonna do this crap.
We're just they did it in one take, and it
ended up blowing up so big it helped make Metal
Health the first heavy metal album to hit number one

(51:13):
on the Billboard charts. I'm talking about the band that
tried to throw it all away and made them legends,
Quiet Riot, with the song called come On Feel the Noise. Now,
imagine imagine hating a song so much you only give
it one take and it pays your bills for life.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
You know what that band I mean, dude, that's La
Hollywood rock and roll. For those of you that are
not familiar with that band, Randy Rhodes, the Electrifian origin
second even maybe tied for first of La rock gods
on guitar to Eddie van Halen, who died in a

(51:57):
horrific track he jumped on the plane and crashed into
the actual place where they were staying, the tour bus.
But Quiet Riot they were like the van Halen but
a little bit more I want to say glitz balls,

(52:22):
because they knew how to play to the audience. They
did not go out and at all try to be
like David Lee Roth as sexy and provocative. Kevin Dubro,
my god, Kevin Dubro was a fantastic lead singer. I

(52:43):
think if Kevin Dubro had lived and not gone through
some of the trials and tribulations of life that he had,
maybe if the band would have stayed in the public
eye longer instead of getting classified as glam, which I
don't think they were. I think that album was magnificent.

(53:06):
When that album came out, I was in high school.
We were all banging our fucking heads to Metal Health.
The whole lineup of that band, even after Randy departed,
filling in with Carlos Cuabazo, you know, the ultimate Rod
Stewart type mullet gold guitar. I mean, they were a

(53:28):
bad ass band. I think they got shortcanned, overlooked. I
think they got lapped at when they shouldn't have. To me,
that's one of the most epic albums of coming out
of metal during the nineteen eighties, you know, especially being
from la and being in that type of lifestyle the

(53:53):
eighties metal quiet right class A. I will always rank
them top notch. I don't like when people say they
are glam or pop. I really don't. As a matter
of fact, I will arm wrestle any of you out
there and the do the cars. You will to prove
to me that, of course you Riot is pop, I

(54:14):
will arm wrestle you. No, it's shoulder surgery, but of
course you will switch. You went, you went to What
was the event in eighty five? Was it.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
The whether all the metal bands got together? Where Quiet
Riot just the sound everything went right?

Speaker 3 (54:36):
What you're us festival and Sam Bernardino three?

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Was it really? I mean, go back in your mind
real quick, and perhaps you're going to bring a lot
of memories back to those that took part in that
event that were probably maybe even right next to the
chang at that moment. Describe for me the day as
you went into the the venue and also described to

(55:03):
me the feeling during the music and what people were
doing or saying or you know, whistling or whatever it
was when those issues around.

Speaker 3 (55:11):
Okay, first of all, for Heavy Metal Day in nineteen
eighty three at Irvine Meadows, myself and does beautiful individuals.
We had been partying the night before. Some of us
had tickets to go to rock and Roll and see
Petty and the Clash and Benatar. You know, we saw

(55:32):
some great acts of the first night, so we were
still going whether it be adrenaline, drugs, sex, just the
joy to be alive and to captivate in an era
where you know this, This concert was kind of like
the eighties generation of Woodstock. We made our own, We gathered,

(55:57):
we congregated, we sat mass together. So that morning of
heavy metal, like I say, a lot of people were inebriated,
some people got rest. But going into it, you knew
that everybody there was of equalness. You know, everybody was
courteous and we're a bunch of most of us are

(56:18):
a bunch of teens, either on drugs or alcohol fueled
by taste.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
I can only imagine the stuff that went on the
venue that day.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
It was insane. Now, going into to this, everything was
It's like going to a sporting event for your first time,
and the sporting event colors of the stadium, the team,
the fans, the seat colors just like takes you away.
Very similar at the US festival drugs induced or not.

(56:46):
But the sad thing is because it was such a
big venue and because equipment got moved around and people
were pobably up all night, a lot of sound sucked.
Ass I feel bad because Quiet Riot had a magnificent
headbang and set to fire everybody up and get them ready.

(57:09):
But it was like premature ejaculation. The sound system sucked,
so you could tell the band was a little bit
frustrated trying to capture the audience. Us in the audience,
inebriated or not, we were on a frenzy to hear
exactly what we heard of that band on the radio

(57:31):
from our l beams. So when you have a bunch
of obnoxious under the influence or understupidity, I mean, it's
like mixing eggs with hot water and then throwing them
on a grill with a lighter. It's not going to
be delicious for anybody, you know.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
And as a matter of fact, the sound engineers must
have been high or drunk as well. I don't know
what was going on behind the scenes, but it ended
up just being a sort of a sound tragedy for
Quiet Riot. All right, hold on to your saddle bags
because this is the one and only Quiet Riot. Well,

(58:11):
come on, field of Noise, and then we got a
little bit of mental health after that, So stick around.
This is the one and only back to the eighties.

Speaker 8 (01:06:59):
The moment it stops.

Speaker 5 (01:07:38):
Space and SPOS six.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
Back to the eighties radio mental health bang your head.
Before that, we heard come on field the noise from
the one and only band Quiet Riot, who had a
lot of issues in nineteen eighty three at the Live venue,
and that Chang was there. And Chang, I know, I
know that there was a little riff, a little a

(01:08:36):
little something going on between Randy Roadse and Eddie van
Halen that talk to everybody a little bit about that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
Now, I did see them at Gazaries with Randy Rhodes.
Randy Rhodes, you knew that guy was going to challenge
Eddie Van Halen for the crown of Guitar and ls.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
You know if Randy liked Eddie at all.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
Eddie van Halen didn't like Randy Rhodes because he caught
when that Randy Rhodes was playing everything note for note,
which was Randy's kind of idle, kind of his statue
of quest to play guitar. He was duplicating a lot
of Eddie van Halen's style, a lot of his songs.

(01:09:24):
But yet Randy Rhodes was very much younger, you know
what I mean, Eddie van Halen had the power because
remember van Halen started kicking off in the later eighties, seventies, seventies,
seventy eight, seventy eight. You know when a lot of
the bands that are categorized metal did start in the

(01:09:45):
later seventies with that ass kicking hard rock. I mean,
it's a whole nother show. We could talk about the
birth of metal. But Randy Rhodes, I mean he was
like infiltrating Eddie van Halen, coming up on his own,
getting the reaction of the city. The flamboyancy, The Duodoo

(01:10:07):
is a cute little dude. Dudo is a chick magnet.
The guy was like the size of a coupling, but
yet he captivated the presence and the sound similar as
Eddie van Halen did. Eddie van Halen another guy, small
on stature, gorgeous, cute, little motherfucker, look like his wife,
Elary Burton Alley, who knew but also a threat. Big

(01:10:32):
things come out of little packages. And I could say
that for a lot of musicians, artists in any other
field and my penis. But back then it was awesome
to know that we had both guitar players. We could
hear both in their own realm, totally different genres of music.

Speaker 13 (01:10:54):
Uh you know.

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
Of course, Eddie van Halen orchestrated on the verge of
metal and ass kicking hard rock back from the seventies
when it was not classic rock. It was hard acid rock,
classic rock. I get offended because that to me is
like oldies. I was listening to oldies and the Temptations

(01:11:15):
came out. You know, hard rock is different than classic rock.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
So it was always a.

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
Joy to watch both of them, and I think both
of them were the kings of la on the guitar.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Do you think he would have been more popular than
Eddie van Halen or do you think he would have
overpassed Eddie's playing or do you think he would have
just lived in the shadow of Eddie all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
No, I think he would have been as a big
name as Eddie van Halen. But in different genres of music.
I don't think that he would have tried to take
Eddie Van Halen on with his style or his greatness
in the rock and roll genre.

Speaker 6 (01:12:01):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:12:03):
Randy Rhodes was a bit more in tune. Educated with
his mother being a music teacher helped out a lot.
He could have went in any other direction and been
great to where I love Eddie Van Halen and I
miss the man now. You know, he's a backdrop to
a lot of our youths here in the eighties. But

(01:12:24):
it's Eddie Van Halen. That's why a big I wasn't
a big fan when he went synthesized because I thought
it cheapened and uncrisped his sound as I grew up
listening you know, when he made bombshell tunes out of copies.
So I always like that Eddie. I'm not I'm not

(01:12:45):
gonna ever like Van Hagar at all, and what at all?
Because with Sanny Hagar, I think he saw his best
days with Montrose. You know, I can't drive sixty five
as song. Yeah, I want to drink and drive. I
want to, you know, I want to be like that.
But it was pop there, I said it. Van Hayden

(01:13:08):
and Randy Rhodes.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
Are the.

Speaker 3 (01:13:13):
Solidarity of rock and roll in Los Angeles, claiming its
own way above Poison, way above Moldy Crew. They stand
on their own. Greatness only comes once or twice.

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
I like that.

Speaker 21 (01:13:28):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
You know, Jane, you brought two songs from one great band,
a band that paid its dues, went through a bunch
of troubles and ended up very tragically. Now I know,
I want to talk to you about something very very powerful.
I guess I want to say, very passionate. But before
I do that, I want to bring up one band,

(01:13:50):
the Band of my Heart. You know who that band
is because they did a cover two of those covers. Okay,
all right there it is. Two of those covers. One
of them was from the Beatles, Okay, and I'm talking
about the Band of my Heart. Was you two back
in the nineteen eighties, you two decided that they were
gonna steal back rock and roll. And that's literally what

(01:14:11):
Bonos said before launching into their version of the Beatles
song called Helter Skelter released on their album Rattle and Humble,
where they said.

Speaker 27 (01:14:21):
The song Cheles Medicine stole from the Beatles were stealing.

Speaker 2 (01:14:25):
And famously recorded by Jimi Hendrix. Because you two didn't
just stop at the Beatles. They went after Bob Dylan
and they created an incredible cover by singing the song
all along the watch Tower that shows up in Rattle
and Hum. And you've got Dylan's lyrics, hendricks spirit and

(01:14:46):
you two's eighties intensity all colliding into one track. This
is back to the eighties Radio three generations of rock
shaking hands in the middle of a song. Check out YouTube.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
You're listening to the back of the eighties radio with
two powerful songs from YouTube. Here we are dang in
twenty twenty five. I mean if we're dead on his
brother a lot of us are tired, you, me, and
everybody hearing us. A lot of us are tired. We're
tired of the noise. We're tired of the arguing. We're
tired of politics. We're tired of feeling like every second

(01:22:12):
of our lives has to be recorded, posted like judged
social media. We're tired. There was a time when life
wasn't perfect, but it felt a little lighter, and for
a lot of us, that time was the nineteen eighties.
Back then, if you wanted to hang out with your friends,
you said, Hey, I'm going to meet you at seven,
and you just showed up. There's no tracking, no constant texting,

(01:22:36):
no blue dots on a map. You just trusted. You
had that phone conversation and then you agreed and you met.
Music came from a radio, a tape, a record, You
hit play. You lived in that moment. You weren't skipping
a song after ten seconds because your brain was already
somewhere else. You sat with it. You knew every lyric,

(01:22:58):
every guitar solo, every drum riff. We all had problems.
Back then the world was far from perfect, but somehow
chang you remember, there was a freedom, a vibe, a sense,
a sense that man. For a few minutes in the car,
or in your bedroom, or in your living room or
wherever it was with a boombox or with your friends,
wherever you were, you could just be no filters, no algorithms.

(01:23:25):
It was just you and your friends and freedom and
the liberty and the experience. And that's why ladies and gentlemen,
Back to the Eighties Radio exists. It's not about old songs.
It's it's about reminding us all of a time, when
of a time when you laughed a little easier, when
Friday night felt like anything could happen, when your biggest

(01:23:47):
problems were making sure the tape didn't get eaten by
your walkman. And we can't go back to that time,
I understand. And it's not about living in the past,
but bringing back a feeling and for the next little well,
I want this show to be your escape, a place
where your heart gets a breather from the chaos at
twenty twenty five, when you roll down the windows, at

(01:24:09):
least in your mind and let the eighties rush back in.
And so wherever you are right now in traffic, work home, wherever,
let the next few minutes take you to that better place,
or take take this show with you wherever you go
and Chang, What did you say that that's what we
all need right now?

Speaker 17 (01:24:28):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
Yeah? I think wherever you live on this planet, which
one will tell you? We are one race, as human race.
It doesn't matter what color we are, doesn't matter where
we came from, what we believe in, or who has
more money than the other. We are all here on
borrowed time and we right here it back to the eighties.

Speaker 10 (01:24:51):
Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:24:53):
Do not like to push any type of you should
he should? They should? Yeah, I press, I press the issue.
I'm not gonna lie because why should I lie? And
I'm not gonna lie to you about anything, ladies and gentlemen.
But we want to take you back to a place

(01:25:15):
where it brings a smile, takes your mind away from
whatever stress you have. And I hey, some of us
out there, we're eighties babies. We're parents of kids from
the eighties. I mean I had three of my children
in the eighties. They're products of the eighties. My daughters

(01:25:37):
are from the age of forty one down to thirty one.
Three of my girls grew up in the eighties, just
like I did you know, ride your bike, come home
before the lights go out. If the neighbor sees youffing up,
you get in trouble. You know, sleepovers. My garage was
the family neighborhood den. You know, us dads and moms

(01:26:01):
went out in the street, barbecue, played with our kids,
rode bikes, roller skated, had sleepovers, did characters. So anybody
my age it has kids as old as mine. We
are very special and we have fought the struggles of life,
becoming grandparents, becoming broke, our nest stake gone, some of

(01:26:24):
us evolving other than we thought we would. But the
one thing we came from, we try to give you
that in an essence, take you away from the grind
and the slime. Especially nowadays we are at a divided culture.
The only way evil winds is by division. The only way,

(01:26:46):
the right way and prosperity hits is through unity. So
we do our damages to try to make your head
unswollen from a lot of the bull crap going on
in this country, which always transitions its way into other countries.
That's all I'm gonna say. We got plenty of more

(01:27:06):
tunes coming up. I've got a track, right here from
a guy that changed images all the time, one of
my favorite artists. This is a song that is holds
my heart because I love David Bowie. I graduated in
eighty three, but my best friend, who was no longer

(01:27:29):
on this planet and bailed in nineteen eighty five, said
this was my song. So we named me the chang
you were listening to back to the eighties radio from
nineteen eighty three. Mister Sir David Bowie with mind little
China Girl.

Speaker 7 (01:27:48):
Should swear me back to the radio.

Speaker 31 (01:28:06):
I couldn't escape. Sweet it's my China Girl. I feel
the breck without mind little Chinese Girl. I hear her
hard leading live find soul stars crushing. I'm not mess

(01:28:37):
without my little China Girl. We God, it's my little
Chinese Girl. I hear heart speaking live hor it is
tuned song, the stars.

Speaker 36 (01:28:59):

do this?

Speaker 3 (01:33:08):
Come back to the eighties, Back to the eighties radio.

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
Before China Girl became a glossy eightiesh it was this weird,
moody track on Iggy Pop's seventy seven album called The Idiot.
Bowie wrote the music. Iggy poured out the lyrics about
a real affair he had with a Vietnamese girl, believe
it or not, and the whole thing feels like a
like a late night hangover in some European hotel. A

(01:33:38):
great song, and almost nobody in the mainstream had heard
it at the time. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to
thank you for spending this time together with Chang and
myself here in twenty twenty five, the world feels a
little louder, a little colder, a little more divided, or
a lot more divided. So if this show does anything

(01:34:00):
you today, wherever you are, I hope it reminded you
of who we were back in the nineteen eighties. People
who looked out for each other, who shared headphones, mixtapes,
who hit record on the boombox so a friend could
have that song too. Let's carry a little bit of
that eighties heart into this week as you travel and

(01:34:22):
work and go to school and be a home person
a homebody. Be good to each other, say a kind
word to each other, make the calls forgive faster, Tell
somebody you love them. From our studio here in Los Angeles, California,
to wherever you are listening, thank you for spending this
time with Tuscano and Chain. Take care of yourselves, take

(01:34:44):
