Let's get back.
Let's get out of them.
Let me see what else we gotnews I saw something about.
(05:26):
Let me see what else we gotnews I saw something about.
Let me see Gene Simmons defendscharging fans $12,000 to be his
roadie.
Would you pay 12 grand to beGene Simmons roadie?
Like really, ah uh.
Perry Dedevich says, eventhough the AI, brody.
(05:47):
Like really, perry Dedevichsays, even though the AI, even
though it'll be mostly backingtracks, yeah, yeah, paul Buccia,
celebration Day, led Zeppelin,that's all that's going to be.
It's all it's going to be isbacking tracks, but they'll
(06:08):
still pay.
But would you pay $12,000 to beGene Simmons' roadie?
Let's see what this guy, whatthis guy.
Do you really think GeneSimmons would back down after
being publicly roasted foroffering fans a 12,495 roadie
for a day experience on hisupcoming solo tour which, by the
(06:31):
way, there's an articlesomewhere in here that got
delayed and I guarantee it hasto do with ticket sales that all
of a sudden got delayed?
How would you, why would youpay 12 grand, almost 12 and a
half grand?
And what's the 495?
12,495, what?
(06:52):
What is that?
Like 1999, like you can getthis for 1999, not 20 bucks?
Well, think again.
He's not backing down.
The kiss star doubled down onthe idea in a new interview,
saying he was inspired byremembering his own questions
while attending shows as a child.
What's it like being on stagewhen they're performing and
(07:17):
seeing the audience from thestage?
Simmons explained to the NewYork Post.
I decided you know what,nobody's ever done it, why not?
You know what?
No, nobody has ever sold beinga roadie for a day for $12,495.
(07:41):
That's what nobody's ever done.
I'm sure there has been bandsthroughout time that have said
said hey, you know, you want tocome in, you can help set up.
You know, here's my king roadie, he'll take care of you.
And then the roadie bitchesthat this new guys just do it.
And that's what happens, right?
No, this dude is going tocharge you to to get bossed
(08:03):
around.
Pretty much that's it is.
He's going to charge you to getbossed around.
Pretty much as it is.
He's going to charge you to getbossed around.
The five-figure fee does include, of all things Simmons
mentioned above breakfast at thehotel, helping assemble the
stage, accompanying Simmons tohis various promotional meetings
for the day, get introduced tothe crowd during the concert and
(08:26):
take home an autographed bassFucking kidding me and I'm sure
that is a very low-end bassguitar.
I'm almost sure of that.
That guy don't give anythingaway.
That guy don't give anythingaway.
(08:48):
Uh, let me see important notethe deal does not include an
actual ticket to the show.
What the fuck?
As they are sold through theindividual venues, that
motherfucker, for 12,495 dollars.
He can't buy you a ticket outof that money.
Like he can't get you a ticketeven if you don't need it
(09:09):
because you're a roadie.
But you get the ticket.
You get a fucking ticket.
You put it in a shadow box.
Check this out.
You put it next to the bassguitar.
It's just a fucking ticket.
Get the worst ticket in thehouse, but no, doesn't come with
a ticket for $12,495.
This is not for everybody andit ain't cheap.
(09:31):
Simmons, oh shit, really Really, but you are motherfucker.
Simmons said of the offer in aseparate interview with
Buffalo's WIVB, placing some ofthe blame for the high cost on
the need for insurance.
It's also a different worldthan when I grew up in.
Nowadays, if you get a papercut, everybody gets sued.
(09:53):
Well then, fucking have themsign a waiver.
What do you mean insurance?
Have them sign a waiver thatthis is a contest.
I paid to do this.
This is out of my goodwill.
I won't sue anybody.
I don't care if a fuckingspeaker falls on my head and
crushes me.
I won't sue.
(10:13):
It's all in the waiver.
No, no, this is.
This is what I said at thebeginning of the intro.
Some crazy shit.
Let me see the Gene Simmons Band.
This is what kills me.
Kiss doesn't tour anymore, butGene Simmons does with his band.

How about we don't watch that?
Uh, john Fives.
John Five is a great guitarist,by the way.
If you've never heard of him,he's, he's kind of a uh, a hired
(12:19):
gun guitarist.
He played with Marilyn Mansonfor a while.
Uh, I believe he's with RobZombie now.
Amazing, amazing guitar player.
I've seen him play a coupletimes.
And let me see.
John Fives failed.
First attempt to get GeneSimmons.
This must be Gene Simmons nighton Milk Rates and Turnitins.
(12:39):
Let's see.
John Fives said he would spendfive hours on the hunt for an
autograph from Gene Simmons,then, at the last moment,
decided not to take it.
The incident took place whenthe future Motley Crue guitarist
and Motley Crue, yeah, onceNick Mars was kicked out of the
band.
The guitarist was around 13, 14years old and Kiss were playing
(13:01):
Detroit one night in the early80s.
I wanted to meet my heroes and Iwas waiting at the fucking Punk
Dehera train hotel, I don'tknow.
Five to a recent interview I'mthis little kid skipping school,
kind of preppy and all thatstuff, and I'm the only one in
the lobby.
He identified the correct hotelwhen he saw tour buses parked
(13:21):
outside and the scene was tobecome familiar to him.
I was waiting there all day,all day, he said.
He recalled, thinking hopefullyhe'll come down and have
something to eat or get coffee,who knows, with one of the guys.
That's more or less how it went.
So here comes Gene Simmons.
He's walking out of his bus,into the hotel and I had my
(13:41):
originals booklet.
I said Mr Simmons, mr Simmons.
And he walked right by me.
I'm this little kid.
He said Five wasn't going togive up though.
And he gets in the elevator andI was like, screw this.
So I get in the elevator too.
And he's standing there and Ihave my booklet and my little
marker.
Soon came the moment that madethem the day so memorable.
(14:04):
The elevator opens to his floorand he goes you want me to sign
that?
And I go no, it's okay, it'sthat great it's.
It says nah, fuck it.
True story, I don't know whatit was.
I was just like so upset, I wasno threat, I was just a little
kid.
I was waiting there for likefive hours.
And he goes you want me to signthat?
And I was no threat, I was justa little kid.
(14:24):
I was waiting there for likefive hours and he goes.
You want me to sign that and Iwas like, no, it's okay, then
the elevator shut.
That's pretty cool.
That is actually a pretty goodstory.
Five will be inviting fans toenjoy his massive collection of
classic era Kiss memorabiliawith the Knights in Satan's
(14:45):
Service Museum.
Well, there you go the Knightsin Satan's Service Museum.
I wonder what that's all about.
All right, let's see.
What else do we have in thenews going on here?
Let me see Randy Bachman andBurton Cummings planning a 2026
(15:06):
Guess who Tour.
Really, would you go see them?
Would you go see them?
I don't know.
I don't know if I would go seeRandy Bachman and Burton
Cummings today for a Guess whotour.
(15:27):
I don't think so.
Here it is right here.
This fucking guy too.
This guy, bob Dylan, launches2025 tour in Tulsa.
Here's his set list Bob Dylanlaunched his 2025 tour on
Tuesday night in Tulsa, oklahoma, home of the Bob Dylan Center.
(15:48):
As with previous tour legs,dylan did not allow cell phones
inside the venue.
I will give this guy credit forthat.
All this guy credit for that.
All praise to him for that.
That's great.
I mean, I'm guilty of it.
I've really tailed back on itwhen I go to concerts using my
(16:09):
cell phone to record it, and yourecord shit that you don't
really watch again.
A complete set list, however,can be viewed below Through.
Dylan's song selections weresimilar to previous legs of
touring.
Though Dylan's song selectionswere similar to previous legs of
(16:29):
touring, one notable differencewas in his band lineup.
Drummer Jimmy Keltner has beenreplaced by Anton Fig, who has
worked with Dylan before, bothin studio and live.
He also worked with artistslike Paul Simon, john Bonamassa,
peter Frampton, mick Jagger andmany more.
Let me see, go see Aaron Lewisif you get the chance.
(16:53):
I saw Aaron Lewis.
I saw Stained back up Korn, soI've seen him.
He's an interesting cat livewhen he's on a solo tour.
And Aaron Lewis is the leadsinger of the 90s band Stained
and you know they're good.
They had a little moment therein the 90s.
He's a temperamentalmotherfucker.
(17:16):
I'll tell you that.
Uh, let me see.
Where else will dylan performthis year?
I I don't know, but I don't.
I don't really want to read allof that.
So here's a set list all alongthe watchtower.
If that is not the worstversion of an original song and
you know he wrote all, and thisis one of those conversations
(17:40):
that's endless he writes allalong the Watchtower.
Jimi Hendrix does it and doesit so much better.
Jimi Hendrix made that songfamous.
If you hear the version of BobDylan's all along, watch how
you'll be very, verydisappointed, very disappointed.
It ain't me, babe.
(18:03):
I contain multitudes, falseprophet, when I paint my
masterpiece, black Rider, my ownversion of you.
To be alone with you crossingthe Rubicon, desolation Row, key
West, philosopher Piratewatching the river flow.
It's all over now, baby blue.
(18:25):
I've made my mind up to givemyself to you, mother muses.
Goodbye, jimmy Reed.
Goodbye Jimmy Reed.
Every Grain of Sand.
So that's his set list.
That's a set list that's forhardcore Dylan fans.
I know, I think two songs Inthat whole list, because, well,
(18:47):
I'm not a fan, so it would beMeaningless to me.
Oh, let's move on down.
Let's load some more articleshere.
I like these.
They're short and sweet.
Elton John names the worstthing that can happen to a new
(19:09):
act, I don't know.
Oh, here's one for you, thisold piece of shit.
And I'm just going to say thatbecause, well, this is an old
woman that's made her money andnow just decides she wants to
say, after she made all thisAmerican money, all this big
(19:30):
American money, millions andmillions of dollars, american
money, nancy Wilson, hot, nancyWilson says she's embarrassed to
be American.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, and here's how NancyWilson is not afraid to share
(19:51):
her displeasure with the currentstate of America During a
recent conversation with theMilwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Yeah, that hard-hitting,worldwide-known newspaper, the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Now I've heard of papers beingcalled the Journal, the Wall
Street Journal, and I've heardof papers with Sentinel, the
(20:13):
Washington Sentinel.
But Milwaukee has to have ajournal Sentinel.
Think of that.
What idiot.
What Milwaukeean, what stupidScantzen idiot says we're going
to make ours a journal Sentinel,milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
(20:34):
The Hot Guitarist noted that thegroup's 1975 hit Crazy on you
was inspired by one of the mosttumultuous times in US history.
We were kind of embarrassed atthat time to call ourselves
American because of the dirtypolitics of the Vietnam War,
wilson said, adding that thetune still resonates In 2025.
(20:55):
Yeah, to be as subtle aspossible, it's more embarrassing
to be an American.
Now, again, she's got hermillions and millions and
millions of dollars, tens ofmillions of dollars.
She doesn't care.
So she runs her mouth.
But you know what it is withthese people, with celebrities
(21:15):
and you know.
So she runs her mouth.
But you know what it is withthese people, with celebrities,
and you know politiciansex-politicians for that matter
it's about their ego.
So, once the money isn't anissue, like George Clooney is a
perfect example the guy sold histequila company for, like I
don't know, fucking $500 millionor something.
(21:36):
Like the guy doesn't need themoney, but when you attack his
ego, when you attack their ego,these people's ego, that's where
it hurts them.
You know they're in thesebubbles, but then when they step
outside the bubble and peopleare like fuck you.
They're like what, what?
(22:00):
How dare you?
How dare you say that to me?
Well, yeah, fuck you.
I'm going to report the news.
So I'll continue to read this,although I really don't want to.
I'll just go put on CNN andMSDNC and see what they say.
Wilson's perspective isn't justabout politics.
(22:21):
She also sees rapid sexism andmisogyny in today's culture.
Wait, wait, I think she's fouryears too late for this.
Wasn't this a thing in 2021,2020, 2022, that whole misogyny?
She had a rock and roll band.
(22:43):
She was the head of a rock androll band.
Okay, this one right here soldout her fucking sister.
All right, you want to talkabout bullshit, sexism and
misogyny?
You sold out your sister when?
Because when mtv wanted to makea video and your sister was too
fat, as they told her not mywords.
(23:05):
They had to cover her up inthese big go.
Look at these 80s videos withheart.
Ann wilson is all covered upand they only show her from the
neck up the shoulders up,because she was too fat for
videos.
And this one her sister wentalong with it.
(23:25):
So what's up with that?
Right?
But she wants to run her mouth,her pompous ass, and say, oh,
america is sexism and misogynyin today's culture.
Yeah, nah, you're bullshit.
She thinks people forget thatstuff, or she forgets it until
(23:46):
someone reminds her.
But when you live in themillionaire bubble, people don't
say that shit.
But this one, yeah, yeah, Isaid it, I don't forget.
Uh, he says, uh, this just getseven stupider.
The echoes, uh, that echoesanother of hot's most famous
songs, barracuda, you know.
(24:08):
So let me see, uh, people,there will be people that will
not.
So all their money right now, aslittle as it trickles in, right
, the trickle-in effect of, say,spotify.
The trickle-in effect is theyget supposedly cents on the
dollar for when a song is played.
(24:28):
But when you look at thesesongs and some of them have over
a million downloads, a millionplays, well, that's, that's a
lot of money.
That's a lot of money for thesepeople.
Now you're gonna get peoplethat will go and to their
spotify page and they'll seecrazy on you and barracuda and
(24:50):
maybe they don't play any oftheir songs anymore.
Maybe 77 million people say youknow what you can say, you don't
play any of their songs anymore.
Maybe 77 million people say youknow what you can say you don't
like Trump.
You can say you don't likeRepublicans or conservatives or
the far right or the extremeright or whatever you want to,
the MAGA people, whatever youwant to call us.
That's fine, fine.
(25:17):
But when you dog the country,when you say you're embarrassed
to be an American, how manypeople do you think, when they
see this, are going to just likeme and say you know what?
Done, done, I'm a music guy too.
Done, you know, I will neverdownload.
If I hear it on the radio, I'lljust change it because there's
so much more.
Just on general principle.
Just on general principle.
(25:40):
There's a lot of bands that Idon't agree with.
Their politics rage againstmachine, pearl jam, I I mean the
list goes on.
I still listen to them.
I still listen to them becauseI have yet to hear them dog the
whole country and say they'reembarrassed.
But the last time somebody saidthey were embarrassed to be
America was those Dixie chicks,that little blonde mouthy one,
(26:02):
and they paid a radical pricefor that one that destroyed them
.
Then they tried to come back asthe chicks.
They had nothing else.
That absolutely stalled them.
But this old bitch, she's, she'snot going anywhere.
She's trying to stay relevant,but she's like three years, four
years behind on this sexism andmisogyny.
(26:23):
And you know, blah, blah, blah.
Uh.
Barracuda is even more relevantin the salacious billionaire
culture with the grab them bythe pussy mentality.
Wilson declared these songswill be there long after we are
gone.
Yeah, see how she didn't mentionmillionaires, right?
(26:45):
See how they didn't mentionmillionaires, right?
Do people get that?
No, she can't dog her ownpeople, right?
No, has to go after.
Now it's the billionaireculture.
Yeah, you know how manybillionaires there are and you
know how many billionaires aredemocrats.
(27:06):
There's more democratbillionaires than there are
conservative billionaires.
So what else is this, thisblonde?
She's a blonde and I don't carewhat you say, ladies, if you're
listening, I don't care.
If you know me, I'm on a roll,so just let me go.
Let's let me go.
I love my woman, though I lovemy woman, despite her
(27:26):
disappointment with whereAmerica is today.
Wilson added that she seeschange on the horizon.
Oh, we're going to end this ona good note, I think.
For women in the culture thependulum will come back again
and there'll be anotherrenaissance in the arts to push
back against the oppression ofthe cranky old, rich white guys.
(27:47):
She noted, this is, you know,she's single, by the way.
This is probably the reason Ihope I'm alive to see the next
revolution.
Was there ever a revolution?
I don't know.
I think the revolution was inthe 60s, when they were burning
their bras.
Now, that was a movement.
(28:07):
I just wish I was old enough toreally appreciate it, if you
know what I mean.
Okay, yeah, enough of her,enough of her.
Ronnie Spector what is thisarticle?
I don't know.
Rock's greatest front womenlet's get on this line.
Let's get on this line.
Let's get on this rabbit hole.
(28:27):
According to VCR Classic RockCulture.
It's a good website.
Rock's greatest front womenlet's see Number 25, kate
Pearson from the B-52s.
I'll give her that.
Number 24, ronnie Spector ofthe Runettes, probably this high
in the list.
I should say this low in thelist because the Runettes didn't
(28:50):
have a long career and RonnieSpector really got screwed by
Phil Spector where she couldn'tplay any of her songs.
He owned the rights.
April Bernard called me an asskisser.
I am.
I love my women.
You know that.
Big head Todd the Wet Sprocketsays Nancy Wilson can move to
(29:11):
Ireland with Rosie.
Let me see Perry Denevich.
The AI said Nancy Wilson lookslike she hasn't slept in months
and won't sleep for four years.
That's good, I like that.
Let me switch over here for asecond.
(29:33):
Let me get caught up on thesechats.
I don't know what's going on.
I guess that's all it is rightnow.
Okay, there should be more Hidechat overlay.
No, I don't want to.
All right, I'm not getting nonancy.
Yeah, all right.
(29:54):
Let's see ronnie specter,number 24, number 23 on the
all-time best front women.
Uh, suzanna hoffs from thebangles.
You know she looks good, she.
She looks very good for her age.
She aged well, but she iscrazier than a fucking sprayed
roach.
That one, yeah, fucking la laland, she's crazy.
(30:21):
If you ever watch her videos,like her Instagram videos, she's
nice to look at.
She's a beautiful older woman,but cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo.
Yeah, she's out there.
Oh, Nancy is the ass kisser.
Okay, april Bernard, not youNancy.
I get you.
All right, let's get down tonumber 22.
(30:44):
Donna Sparks Donita Sparks fromL7.
Was never a fan so can't reallyspeak on them.
I knew who they were.
Number 21, karen Carpenter Well, if she's 21,.
How did they put this?
Surprised to see soft rockqueen Karen Carpenter on our
list.
(31:04):
You shouldn't be.
The Carpenter singer was asingular talent with a pure,
emotive voice and drumming chopsto boot.
She was an amazing drummer.
Paul mccartney called her thebest female voice in the world,
while elton john described heras one of the greatest voices of
our lifetime, and they are bothcorrect, absolutely.
(31:27):
Uh, cheryl crowe, john lennon,kim gordon and madonna are among
the many other famous musicianswho have sung.
Carpenters praises as a singer,performer and songwriter.
Sadly, more than 40 years afterher death, she tends to be
forgotten.
However, her impact and thelegacy should never be
overlooked.
That's right, you know what?
(31:47):
So this is that syndrome, thatAM radio syndrome, as I call it.
They were everywhere, like theywere all over the place, and AM
radio like pfft, that's allthey played.
Carpenters, carpenters, alongwith all that other.
You know the soft rock of the70s and they just became
(32:08):
oversaturated and they weren'tcool.
So there was that big crossovertime April Bernard says
nevertheless got the credit shedeserved, as she should, as she
should, you're right.
But there's that crossover now.
It was like when.
It was like when grunge like Ialways say, grunge killed lover
(32:30):
boy, and that's a very.
You can take that as a, youknow a comparison, but you know
what I mean by that.
The Carpenters just got sweptup in that soft pop rock, you
know pop radio, like when theshit started changing and FM
popped up.
And then, you know, okay,they'd be on certain types of
(32:53):
stations but they were justlooked back at as square and not
cool and, you know, totallyover in their image, was just
like so squeaky clean, nevertaking the time to listen to
their songs in their songs for awhile.
And I I believe I'm not wrongin saying that there's a bunch
(33:15):
of people that will be listeningto this that will say that the
carpenters were a guiltypleasure where you'd play them
by yourself or, you know, maybewith a friend, but for the most
part no one would ever say, oh,karen Carpenter was a great lead
singer, not in the 80s, not inthe 90s, not in the 2000s Years
(33:37):
after she died, you know, iswhen she started to really and
her music will live on forever.
It's a matter of fact.
It's a matter of fact.
Let a matter of fact, let mesee if I can do this.
There's a great uh, it's a goodsegue.
So I I've been kind of goingdown rabbit holes of I love like
(33:58):
ambient music and and stufflike that, and everyone knows I
like techno and let me see, hereit is.
Listen to this.
This is from an artist calledClark and I stumbled into this.
This is speaking of thecompetence.
Let me play this.
I'm gonna get a copyright hitfor this, but I don't care, I'm
(34:24):
gonna play.
This is just a great versionfor this, but I don't care, I'm
going to play.
This is just a great version ofthis song Brought into the
modern era.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
How haunting is that?
Scott McLean (34:59):
Right, this is the Carpenter song.
Superstar, how great is thisversion?
I don't know.
You gotta like this.
It's ominous.
(35:45):
This is one of those songs I'llplay.
I'll just keep repeating itlike three times in a row when
I'm driving.
This is what I've beenlistening to lately.
I've been listening to a lot ofthis type of music and again
(36:10):
I'm going to get a copyright hiton this in us is such a sound
(37:00):
of fire.
I love that synth.
I love that synth.
I love that synth.
What a great version of thatsong.
And I stumbled into that, likebecause I go down these rabbit
holes with music and I will sitthere sometimes for I don't know
(37:22):
an hour, sometimes two hours,and just go down these rabbit
holes of genres of music and Iwill just skip song and I'll
just listen.
If I don't like it in the first30 seconds it doesn't catch me.
I just move on.
Boom, boom.
Then you hear that song and Iheard this and I was at first I
was like what, this soundsfamiliar, like this song sounds
(37:44):
familiar.
I didn't even really look atthe name.
I looked there.
I said superstar, wait a minute, that's uh, that's the
carpenters.
And then I, that's the, that's,this is a remake.
And I was amazed and how coolit was and how this, like I said
, very haunting, a very hauntingversion of that song.
That song in itself is kind ofit's kind of a sad song.
(38:05):
But all right, moving on.
Let's see what else.
Uh, carrie, number 20 on thebest.
Uh, well, according to vcrmagazine, uh, best front women.

(39:10):
Oh, here's my girl, shirleyManson from Gobbage.

Yeah, shirley Manson, what agreat stage presence she had
when I saw her live.
She absolutely controls thestage, there's no doubt about it
.
She has command and control ofthe crowd, the stage presence.
She is a true rock star.
(39:32):
Shirley Manson, susie, sue, Ialways you know what.
So Susie and the Banshees,that's an interesting group to
me.
They were a big part of the NewWave movement in the 80s.
They were a big part of the newwave movement in the 80s.
But for the most part, I hate,I hate, I hate their version of
Dear Prudence.
I was like what a shit songthey did with that.
(39:59):
They had a couple of good songs.
I was kind of a fan from adistance, but not really Like

.
She lived like a rock star.
(41:34):

Yeah.
Scott McLean (42:57):
Courtney loves a rockstar.
You know there's so there's alot of talk that said she didn't
write her lyrics and she didn'tdo this and she didn't do that.
And I would probably say thatKurt Cobain had a lot to do with
writing that.
The lyrics to the songs on thealbum live through this.
(43:19):
But, with that said, she'sstill a rock star.
She's still a rock star.
She's still a rock star.
She's crazy, crazy, crazy.
All right, let's move on.

Still is Still doing it.
Still doing it.
Still looks like a 12-year-oldboy, you know, with makeup on,
(43:45):
not that I would know what thatlooks like.
I'm assuming, people, I'massuming.
Don't judge me, don't justsaying, I'm just saying she's

Breast front 25 breast frontwomen was that what?
Yeah, chrissy Hines, she's oneof the breast front women.
Of course she is.
Yeah, let me see.
(44:29):
April says you said wheneverwas bar she was better, when she
was bad she was better.
Yeah, chrissy Hines, legend,legend, although although when
she was on tour, she wants like$ 300 a ticket so that ain't
happening.
Uh, joan is a greedy person.
(44:50):
Um, yeah, I'm not paying three.
I saw them at the orpheumtheater in boston, uh, the
beginning of their second uh,you know stage of the pretenders
.
They were great, she was great,but I'm not paying 300 cents.
I love it.
Another one of my childhood.
(45:11):
I had a huge four foot by threefoot poster of Debbie Harry on
my wall when I was a kid andI'll just leave it at that.
Just going to leave it at that.
Okay, don't think beyond that,that you don't need to, but oh,
yeah.
So there was always thequestion debbie harry or pat
(45:35):
benatar?
That's a question that's likeis it gravy or is it sauce?
Right, ketchup?
No ketchup, debbie Harry or PatBenatar.
I was in team Debbie Harry.
Let me see Another one,absolutely beautiful, beautiful
(46:04):
woman I think Annie Lennox atnumber five.
Annie Lennox was just so, sounique, still is, still is a
beautiful older woman, beautifulolder woman, as all of them are
, all of you are.
Annie Lennox was just so uniquein how she looked and she owned
(46:28):
it and she created it and shenurtured it and even when she
dressed in that kind ofandrogynous David Bowie type
thing, still hot, hot, hot, asthe late great Busta Poindexter
once said hot, hot, hot, yeah.
Let me see, as the late greatBuster Poindexter once said Hot,
hot, hot, yeah.
Let me see On number four oh,this guy, this guy, how did he
(46:55):
get on the list?
Wait a minute.
How did this guy, janis Joplin,get on the list?
This is for women.
What Is this one of these new?
Is this one of these new?
Is this one of these DEI?
Things Like Janis Joplin shouldbe on the men's list.
That's a guy.
I don't care what anybody says,she got voted best looking guy
(47:20):
on her in her college.
They voted the best looking.
So this dude should not be on,should not be on the list,
especially at number four.
That's like that dude.
That was the swimmer calledhimself.
I guess his name was JohnJoplin before he changed it to
Janice, so I'm just going to goright by him, that dude.
(47:44):
He pops up everywhere.
Alright, there you go.
Tina Turner, ike and Tina Turneryep, no doubt.
Saw her live.
Saw her tear it up in 1997 inAlbuquerque.
Great show, great show.
Uh, cyndi Lauper backed her up.
Cyndi Lauper, another one justshut up and sing total horror
(48:09):
show, total diva, for no reason,but you've heard those stories.
Uh, number two ann wilson.
I like ann wilson better thannancy wilson, that's for sure.
After the beginning of thisshow, yeah, ann Wilson.
Okay, but unfortunately for AnnWilson, I might not be
(48:29):
listening to heart songs anymore, unless if Ann Wilson came out
and said I love America.
Well then, you get me back.
You get me back, but sorry, ann, your sister ruined it for you.
Don't siblings do that though?
Don't?
They ruin everything?
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Look, at siblings, they ruin everything.
Scott McLean (48:51):
And number one on the list, stevie Nicks from
Fleetwood Mac.
Well, okay, you can go withthat.
You can go with that.
I don't think there's anargument here.
Nope, so that's your list.
That's the top 25 according toVCR.
Let me see.
Do I want to do one more?
It's been an hour.
I fucked up the beginning of theshow.
(49:13):
I've been away for three weeks.
You got to bear with me onthese things.
I got to get it, but I likedoing this.
I like reading you guys thenews.
It's fun.
I don't need Jack, this guy.
I'm going to end it on a lownote.
This guy hasn't performed since2020, right, this clown show,
(49:37):
this vaudeville act?
David Lee Roth set second 2025concert date.
What's he releasing them like?
Once a week?
This is great.
This is typical of thisegomaniac.
Like I said, the more I lookback at David Lee Roth in the
80s, the more I say, yeah, I wasdrinking a lot, because he
(50:00):
wasn't really that cool.
We would just like to believethat he's actually a douche.
David Lee Roth now has two showsscheduled for this year,
marking his first timeperforming since, like I said,
2020.
It was previously announcedthat on May 3rd he'll appear at
(50:21):
the M3 Rock Festival in Columbia, maryland, may 3rd.
He'll appear at the M3 RockFestival in Columbia, maryland,
approximately four months later.
Roth will play the MountainWinery in Saratoga, california.
Yeah, for a bunch ofbillionaires.
(50:42):
Though an official announcementhas not yet been made,
information via the venue's siteconfirms pre-sale tickets will
be available March 25th Gee,sorry, I can't make it.
Followed by regular sale onMarch 28th.
Yeah, I can't make it.
There's also no word on whowill perform in Roth's band.
Speaker 2 (51:00):
There you go.
Scott McLean (51:01):
There you go.
Yeah, you know I'm going toplay, but I don't really have a
band yet.
But you know, because you knownobody really wants to play with
me.
Let's finish this up.
Last time Roth gave an officialperformance was when he opened
for kiss on march 10th 2020 atthe united supermarket arena,
(51:25):
supermarkets arena and lubbock,texas.
The following year, rothannounced that he planned on
throwing in the shoes andretiring after a run of farewell
shows in las vegas.
I saw videos from those and theywere not good.
They did not sound good or lookgood.
Scheduled for early 2022, thesedates were ultimately canceled
(51:46):
due to unforeseen circumstancesrelated to covid abundance of
caution for working andattending and attending those
shows the ones I saw he was at aclub somewhere and it just
wasn't good.
You can go find them on youtube.
So, yeah, so it, that's it.
I got through the show, startedoff rough.
(52:07):
Haven't done it in three weeks.
Things get rusty, you know, butI'm back and I'll be here next
week and maybe I'll do some moremusic news next week.
Uh, we'll see.
Maybe Jack will show up andwe'll do music news together.
I don't know.
I don't know, but I kind oflike doing the music news.
So maybe that's a rabbit hole.
I will start traveling down,but let me get back on my
(52:29):
regular screen.
Uh, let me see, oh, corporategig.
Uh, yeah, where, uh, where,vegas, perry david's corporate

listening for one hour and threeminutes, although the first
five minutes were a disaster.
But I don't care.
After 177 shows.
It's not that I don't care.
I just have come to theconclusion that this shit is
going to happen.
Sometimes this is what happens.
I just have come to theconclusion that this shit is
going to happen.
Sometimes this is what happens.
I've said this from thebeginning.
When you do live streaming,shit just happens, unexpected
(53:12):
shit happens, and it's easier ifyou have a team of people that
handle this shit and you're justthe personality.
But I am the team and I am thepersonality, big personality,
big, larger than life.
That's me.
Anyway.

That's a little better Now wecan see it.
(04:37):
Kiss could conclude their nearlyfour-year-long end-of-the-road
farewell tour.
Four years, four fucking years,they've been doing an end of
the road farewell tour.
They'll be back.
They'll be back.
Yeah, and this is why it saysbut band founders gene simmons
and paul stanley were alwayscareful to leave the door open
(05:00):
for future special shows.
Nah, nah, kiss fans celebrateDressed to Kill album with New
York City Expedition.
Nah, nah, enough of Kiss.
Let's get back.
Let's get out of them.
Let me see what else we gotnews I saw something about.
(05:26):
Let me see what else we gotnews I saw something about.
Let me see Gene Simmons defendscharging fans $12,000 to be his
roadie.
Would you pay 12 grand to beGene Simmons roadie?
Like really, ah uh.
Perry Dedevich says, eventhough the AI, brody.
(05:47):
Like really, perry Dedevichsays, even though the AI, even
though it'll be mostly backingtracks, yeah, yeah, paul Buccia,
celebration Day, led Zeppelin,that's all that's going to be.
It's all it's going to be isbacking tracks, but they'll
(06:08):
still pay.
But would you pay $12,000 to beGene Simmons' roadie?
Let's see what this guy, whatthis guy.
Do you really think GeneSimmons would back down after
being publicly roasted foroffering fans a 12,495 roadie
for a day experience on hisupcoming solo tour which, by the
(06:31):
way, there's an articlesomewhere in here that got
delayed and I guarantee it hasto do with ticket sales that all
of a sudden got delayed?
How would you, why would youpay 12 grand, almost 12 and a
half grand?
And what's the 495?
12,495, what?
(06:52):
What is that?
Like 1999, like you can getthis for 1999, not 20 bucks?
Well, think again.
He's not backing down.
The kiss star doubled down onthe idea in a new interview,
saying he was inspired byremembering his own questions
while attending shows as a child.
What's it like being on stagewhen they're performing and
(07:17):
seeing the audience from thestage?
Simmons explained to the NewYork Post.
I decided you know what,nobody's ever done it, why not?
You know what?
No, nobody has ever sold beinga roadie for a day for $12,495.
(07:41):
That's what nobody's ever done.
I'm sure there has been bandsthroughout time that have said
said hey, you know, you want tocome in, you can help set up.
You know, here's my king roadie, he'll take care of you.
And then the roadie bitchesthat this new guys just do it.
And that's what happens, right?
No, this dude is going tocharge you to to get bossed
(08:03):
around.
Pretty much that's it is.
He's going to charge you to getbossed around.
Pretty much as it is.
He's going to charge you to getbossed around.
The five-figure fee does include, of all things Simmons
mentioned above breakfast at thehotel, helping assemble the
stage, accompanying Simmons tohis various promotional meetings
for the day, get introduced tothe crowd during the concert and
(08:26):
take home an autographed bassFucking kidding me and I'm sure
that is a very low-end bassguitar.
I'm almost sure of that.
That guy don't give anythingaway.
That guy don't give anythingaway.
(08:48):
Uh, let me see important notethe deal does not include an
actual ticket to the show.
What the fuck?
As they are sold through theindividual venues, that
motherfucker, for 12,495 dollars.
He can't buy you a ticket outof that money.
Like he can't get you a ticketeven if you don't need it
(09:09):
because you're a roadie.
But you get the ticket.
You get a fucking ticket.
You put it in a shadow box.
Check this out.
You put it next to the bassguitar.
It's just a fucking ticket.
Get the worst ticket in thehouse, but no, doesn't come with
a ticket for $12,495.
This is not for everybody andit ain't cheap.
(09:31):
Simmons, oh shit, really Really, but you are motherfucker.
Simmons said of the offer in aseparate interview with
Buffalo's WIVB, placing some ofthe blame for the high cost on
the need for insurance.
It's also a different worldthan when I grew up in.
Nowadays, if you get a papercut, everybody gets sued.
(09:53):
Well then, fucking have themsign a waiver.
What do you mean insurance?
Have them sign a waiver thatthis is a contest.
I paid to do this.
This is out of my goodwill.
I won't sue anybody.
I don't care if a fuckingspeaker falls on my head and
crushes me.
I won't sue.
(10:13):
It's all in the waiver.
No, no, this is.
This is what I said at thebeginning of the intro.
Some crazy shit.
Let me see the Gene Simmons Band.
This is what kills me.
Kiss doesn't tour anymore, butGene Simmons does with his band.
(10:36):
Who's going to see the GeneSimmons Band?
Okay, they're playing inPeachtree City, georgia, at the
Fred Amp.
Beaverdam, kentucky, at theBeaverdam Amphitheater.
Yeah, I'm sure that's a bigvenue.

Good luck.
Let me see what's this one sayWatch Bruce Springsteen and Flea
play Because the Night in NewYork City.
How about not?
How about we don't watch that?
Uh, john Fives.
John Five is a great guitarist,by the way.
If you've never heard of him,he's, he's kind of a uh, a hired
(12:19):
gun guitarist.
He played with Marilyn Mansonfor a while.
Uh, I believe he's with RobZombie now.
Amazing, amazing guitar player.
I've seen him play a coupletimes.
And let me see.
John Fives failed.
First attempt to get GeneSimmons.
This must be Gene Simmons nighton Milk Rates and Turnitins.
(12:39):
Let's see.
John Fives said he would spendfive hours on the hunt for an
autograph from Gene Simmons,then, at the last moment,
decided not to take it.
The incident took place whenthe future Motley Crue guitarist
and Motley Crue, yeah, onceNick Mars was kicked out of the
band.
The guitarist was around 13, 14years old and Kiss were playing
(13:01):
Detroit one night in the early80s.
I wanted to meet my heroes and Iwas waiting at the fucking Punk
Dehera train hotel, I don'tknow.
Five to a recent interview I'mthis little kid skipping school,
kind of preppy and all thatstuff, and I'm the only one in
the lobby.
He identified the correct hotelwhen he saw tour buses parked
(13:21):
outside and the scene was tobecome familiar to him.
I was waiting there all day,all day, he said.
He recalled, thinking hopefullyhe'll come down and have
something to eat or get coffee,who knows, with one of the guys.
That's more or less how it went.
So here comes Gene Simmons.
He's walking out of his bus,into the hotel and I had my
(13:41):
originals booklet.
I said Mr Simmons, mr Simmons.
And he walked right by me.
I'm this little kid.
He said Five wasn't going togive up though.
And he gets in the elevator andI was like, screw this.
So I get in the elevator too.
And he's standing there and Ihave my booklet and my little
marker.
Soon came the moment that madethem the day so memorable.
(14:04):
The elevator opens to his floorand he goes you want me to sign
that?
And I go no, it's okay, it'sthat great it's.
It says nah, fuck it.
True story, I don't know whatit was.
I was just like so upset, I wasno threat, I was just a little
kid.
I was waiting there for likefive hours.
And he goes you want me to signthat?
And I was no threat, I was justa little kid.
(14:24):
I was waiting there for likefive hours and he goes.
You want me to sign that and Iwas like, no, it's okay, then
the elevator shut.
That's pretty cool.
That is actually a pretty goodstory.
Five will be inviting fans toenjoy his massive collection of
classic era Kiss memorabiliawith the Knights in Satan's
(14:45):
Service Museum.
Well, there you go the Knightsin Satan's Service Museum.
I wonder what that's all about.
All right, let's see.
What else do we have in thenews going on here?
Let me see Randy Bachman andBurton Cummings planning a 2026
(15:06):
Guess who Tour.
Really, would you go see them?
Would you go see them?
I don't know.
I don't know if I would go seeRandy Bachman and Burton
Cummings today for a Guess whotour.
(15:27):
I don't think so.
Here it is right here.
This fucking guy too.
This guy, bob Dylan, launches2025 tour in Tulsa.
Here's his set list Bob Dylanlaunched his 2025 tour on
Tuesday night in Tulsa, oklahoma, home of the Bob Dylan Center.
(15:48):
As with previous tour legs,dylan did not allow cell phones
inside the venue.
I will give this guy credit forthat.
All this guy credit for that.
All praise to him for that.
That's great.
I mean, I'm guilty of it.
I've really tailed back on itwhen I go to concerts using my
(16:09):
cell phone to record it, and yourecord shit that you don't
really watch again.
A complete set list, however,can be viewed below Through.
Dylan's song selections weresimilar to previous legs of
touring.
Though Dylan's song selectionswere similar to previous legs of
(16:29):
touring, one notable differencewas in his band lineup.
Drummer Jimmy Keltner has beenreplaced by Anton Fig, who has
worked with Dylan before, bothin studio and live.
He also worked with artistslike Paul Simon, john Bonamassa,
peter Frampton, mick Jagger andmany more.
Let me see, go see Aaron Lewisif you get the chance.
(16:53):
I saw Aaron Lewis.
I saw Stained back up Korn, soI've seen him.
He's an interesting cat livewhen he's on a solo tour.
And Aaron Lewis is the leadsinger of the 90s band Stained
and you know they're good.
They had a little moment therein the 90s.
He's a temperamentalmotherfucker.
(17:16):
I'll tell you that.
Uh, let me see.
Where else will dylan performthis year?
I I don't know, but I don't.
I don't really want to read allof that.
So here's a set list all alongthe watchtower.
If that is not the worstversion of an original song and
you know he wrote all, and thisis one of those conversations
(17:40):
that's endless he writes allalong the Watchtower.
Jimi Hendrix does it and doesit so much better.
Jimi Hendrix made that songfamous.
If you hear the version of BobDylan's all along, watch how
you'll be very, verydisappointed, very disappointed.
It ain't me, babe.
(18:03):
I contain multitudes, falseprophet, when I paint my
masterpiece, black Rider, my ownversion of you.
To be alone with you crossingthe Rubicon, desolation Row, key
West, philosopher Piratewatching the river flow.
It's all over now, baby blue.
(18:25):
I've made my mind up to givemyself to you, mother muses.
Goodbye, jimmy Reed.
Goodbye Jimmy Reed.
Every Grain of Sand.
So that's his set list.
That's a set list that's forhardcore Dylan fans.
I know, I think two songs Inthat whole list, because, well,
(18:47):
I'm not a fan, so it would beMeaningless to me.
Oh, let's move on down.
Let's load some more articleshere.
I like these.
They're short and sweet.
Elton John names the worstthing that can happen to a new
(19:09):
act, I don't know.
Oh, here's one for you, thisold piece of shit.
And I'm just going to say thatbecause, well, this is an old
woman that's made her money andnow just decides she wants to
say, after she made all thisAmerican money, all this big
(19:30):
American money, millions andmillions of dollars, american
money, nancy Wilson, hot, nancyWilson says she's embarrassed to
be American.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, and here's how NancyWilson is not afraid to share
(19:51):
her displeasure with the currentstate of America During a
recent conversation with theMilwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Yeah, that hard-hitting,worldwide-known newspaper, the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Now I've heard of papers beingcalled the Journal, the Wall
Street Journal, and I've heardof papers with Sentinel, the
(20:13):
Washington Sentinel.
But Milwaukee has to have ajournal Sentinel.
Think of that.
What idiot.
What Milwaukeean, what stupidScantzen idiot says we're going
to make ours a journal Sentinel,milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
(20:34):
The Hot Guitarist noted that thegroup's 1975 hit Crazy on you
was inspired by one of the mosttumultuous times in US history.
We were kind of embarrassed atthat time to call ourselves
American because of the dirtypolitics of the Vietnam War,
wilson said, adding that thetune still resonates In 2025.
(20:55):
Yeah, to be as subtle aspossible, it's more embarrassing
to be an American.
Now, again, she's got hermillions and millions and
millions of dollars, tens ofmillions of dollars.
She doesn't care.
So she runs her mouth.
But you know what it is withthese people, with celebrities
(21:15):
and you know.
So she runs her mouth.
But you know what it is withthese people, with celebrities,
and you know politiciansex-politicians for that matter
it's about their ego.
So, once the money isn't anissue, like George Clooney is a
perfect example the guy sold histequila company for, like I
don't know, fucking $500 millionor something.
(21:36):
Like the guy doesn't need themoney, but when you attack his
ego, when you attack their ego,these people's ego, that's where
it hurts them.
You know they're in thesebubbles, but then when they step
outside the bubble and peopleare like fuck you.
They're like what, what?
(22:00):
How dare you?
How dare you say that to me?
Well, yeah, fuck you.
I'm going to report the news.
So I'll continue to read this,although I really don't want to.
I'll just go put on CNN andMSDNC and see what they say.
Wilson's perspective isn't justabout politics.
(22:21):
She also sees rapid sexism andmisogyny in today's culture.
Wait, wait, I think she's fouryears too late for this.
Wasn't this a thing in 2021,2020, 2022, that whole misogyny?
She had a rock and roll band.
(22:43):
She was the head of a rock androll band.
Okay, this one right here soldout her fucking sister.
All right, you want to talkabout bullshit, sexism and
misogyny?
You sold out your sister when?
Because when mtv wanted to makea video and your sister was too
fat, as they told her not mywords.
(23:05):
They had to cover her up inthese big go.
Look at these 80s videos withheart.
Ann wilson is all covered upand they only show her from the
neck up the shoulders up,because she was too fat for
videos.
And this one her sister wentalong with it.
(23:25):
So what's up with that?
Right?
But she wants to run her mouth,her pompous ass, and say, oh,
america is sexism and misogynyin today's culture.
Yeah, nah, you're bullshit.
She thinks people forget thatstuff, or she forgets it until
(23:46):
someone reminds her.
But when you live in themillionaire bubble, people don't
say that shit.
But this one, yeah, yeah, Isaid it, I don't forget.
Uh, he says, uh, this just getseven stupider.
The echoes, uh, that echoesanother of hot's most famous
songs, barracuda, you know.
(24:08):
So let me see, uh, people,there will be people that will
not.
So all their money right now, aslittle as it trickles in, right
, the trickle-in effect of, say,spotify.
The trickle-in effect is theyget supposedly cents on the
dollar for when a song is played.
(24:28):
But when you look at thesesongs and some of them have over
a million downloads, a millionplays, well, that's, that's a
lot of money.
That's a lot of money for thesepeople.
Now you're gonna get peoplethat will go and to their
spotify page and they'll seecrazy on you and barracuda and
(24:50):
maybe they don't play any oftheir songs anymore.
Maybe 77 million people say youknow what you can say, you don't
play any of their songs anymore.
Maybe 77 million people say youknow what you can say you don't
like Trump.
You can say you don't likeRepublicans or conservatives or
the far right or the extremeright or whatever you want to,
the MAGA people, whatever youwant to call us.
That's fine, fine.
(25:17):
But when you dog the country,when you say you're embarrassed
to be an American, how manypeople do you think, when they
see this, are going to just likeme and say you know what?
Done, done, I'm a music guy too.
Done, you know, I will neverdownload.
If I hear it on the radio, I'lljust change it because there's
so much more.
Just on general principle.
Just on general principle.
(25:40):
There's a lot of bands that Idon't agree with.
Their politics rage againstmachine, pearl jam, I I mean the
list goes on.
I still listen to them.
I still listen to them becauseI have yet to hear them dog the
whole country and say they'reembarrassed.
But the last time somebody saidthey were embarrassed to be
America was those Dixie chicks,that little blonde mouthy one,
(26:02):
and they paid a radical pricefor that one that destroyed them
.
Then they tried to come back asthe chicks.
They had nothing else.
That absolutely stalled them.
But this old bitch, she's, she'snot going anywhere.
She's trying to stay relevant,but she's like three years, four
years behind on this sexism andmisogyny.
(26:23):
And you know, blah, blah, blah.
Uh.
Barracuda is even more relevantin the salacious billionaire
culture with the grab them bythe pussy mentality.
Wilson declared these songswill be there long after we are
gone.
Yeah, see how she didn't mentionmillionaires, right?
(26:45):
See how they didn't mentionmillionaires, right?
Do people get that?
No, she can't dog her ownpeople, right?
No, has to go after.
Now it's the billionaireculture.
Yeah, you know how manybillionaires there are and you
know how many billionaires aredemocrats.
(27:06):
There's more democratbillionaires than there are
conservative billionaires.
So what else is this, thisblonde?
She's a blonde and I don't carewhat you say, ladies, if you're
listening, I don't care.
If you know me, I'm on a roll,so just let me go.
Let's let me go.
I love my woman, though I lovemy woman, despite her
(27:26):
disappointment with whereAmerica is today.
Wilson added that she seeschange on the horizon.
Oh, we're going to end this ona good note, I think.
For women in the culture thependulum will come back again
and there'll be anotherrenaissance in the arts to push
back against the oppression ofthe cranky old, rich white guys.
(27:47):
She noted, this is, you know,she's single, by the way.
This is probably the reason Ihope I'm alive to see the next
revolution.
Was there ever a revolution?
I don't know.
I think the revolution was inthe 60s, when they were burning
their bras.
Now, that was a movement.
(28:07):
I just wish I was old enough toreally appreciate it, if you
know what I mean.
Okay, yeah, enough of her,enough of her.
Ronnie Spector what is thisarticle?
I don't know.
Rock's greatest front womenlet's get on this line.
Let's get on this line.
Let's get on this rabbit hole.
(28:27):
According to VCR Classic RockCulture.
It's a good website.
Rock's greatest front womenlet's see Number 25, kate
Pearson from the B-52s.
I'll give her that.
Number 24, ronnie Spector ofthe Runettes, probably this high
in the list.
I should say this low in thelist because the Runettes didn't
(28:50):
have a long career and RonnieSpector really got screwed by
Phil Spector where she couldn'tplay any of her songs.
He owned the rights.
April Bernard called me an asskisser.
I am.
I love my women.
You know that.
Big head Todd the Wet Sprocketsays Nancy Wilson can move to
(29:11):
Ireland with Rosie.
Let me see Perry Denevich.
The AI said Nancy Wilson lookslike she hasn't slept in months
and won't sleep for four years.
That's good, I like that.
Let me switch over here for asecond.
(29:33):
Let me get caught up on thesechats.
I don't know what's going on.
I guess that's all it is rightnow.
Okay, there should be more Hidechat overlay.
No, I don't want to.
All right, I'm not getting nonancy.
Yeah, all right.
(29:54):
Let's see ronnie specter,number 24, number 23 on the
all-time best front women.
Uh, suzanna hoffs from thebangles.
You know she looks good, she.
She looks very good for her age.
She aged well, but she iscrazier than a fucking sprayed
roach.
That one, yeah, fucking la laland, she's crazy.
(30:21):
If you ever watch her videos,like her Instagram videos, she's
nice to look at.
She's a beautiful older woman,but cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo.
Yeah, she's out there.
Oh, Nancy is the ass kisser.
Okay, april Bernard, not youNancy.
I get you.
All right, let's get down tonumber 22.
(30:44):
Donna Sparks Donita Sparks fromL7.
Was never a fan so can't reallyspeak on them.
I knew who they were.
Number 21, karen Carpenter Well, if she's 21,.
How did they put this?
Surprised to see soft rockqueen Karen Carpenter on our
list.
(31:04):
You shouldn't be.
The Carpenter singer was asingular talent with a pure,
emotive voice and drumming chopsto boot.
She was an amazing drummer.
Paul mccartney called her thebest female voice in the world,
while elton john described heras one of the greatest voices of
our lifetime, and they are bothcorrect, absolutely.
(31:27):
Uh, cheryl crowe, john lennon,kim gordon and madonna are among
the many other famous musicianswho have sung.
Carpenters praises as a singer,performer and songwriter.
Sadly, more than 40 years afterher death, she tends to be
forgotten.
However, her impact and thelegacy should never be
overlooked.
That's right, you know what?
(31:47):
So this is that syndrome, thatAM radio syndrome, as I call it.
They were everywhere, like theywere all over the place, and AM
radio like pfft, that's allthey played.
Carpenters, carpenters, alongwith all that other.
You know the soft rock of the70s and they just became
(32:08):
oversaturated and they weren'tcool.
So there was that big crossovertime April Bernard says
nevertheless got the credit shedeserved, as she should, as she
should, you're right.
But there's that crossover now.
It was like when.
It was like when grunge like Ialways say, grunge killed lover
(32:30):
boy, and that's a very.
You can take that as a, youknow a comparison, but you know
what I mean by that.
The Carpenters just got sweptup in that soft pop rock, you
know pop radio, like when theshit started changing and FM
popped up.
And then, you know, okay,they'd be on certain types of
(32:53):
stations but they were justlooked back at as square and not
cool and, you know, totallyover in their image, was just
like so squeaky clean, nevertaking the time to listen to
their songs in their songs for awhile.
And I I believe I'm not wrongin saying that there's a bunch
(33:15):
of people that will be listeningto this that will say that the
carpenters were a guiltypleasure where you'd play them
by yourself or, you know, maybewith a friend, but for the most
part no one would ever say, oh,karen Carpenter was a great lead
singer, not in the 80s, not inthe 90s, not in the 2000s Years
(33:37):
after she died, you know, iswhen she started to really and
her music will live on forever.
It's a matter of fact.
It's a matter of fact.
Let a matter of fact, let mesee if I can do this.
There's a great uh, it's a goodsegue.
So I I've been kind of goingdown rabbit holes of I love like
(33:58):
ambient music and and stufflike that, and everyone knows I
like techno and let me see, hereit is.
Listen to this.
This is from an artist calledClark and I stumbled into this.
This is speaking of thecompetence.
Let me play this.
I'm gonna get a copyright hitfor this, but I don't care, I'm
(34:24):
gonna play.
This is just a great versionfor this, but I don't care, I'm
going to play.
This is just a great version ofthis song Brought into the
modern era.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
How haunting is that?
Scott McLean (34:59):
Right, this is the Carpenter song.
Superstar, how great is thisversion?
I don't know.
You gotta like this.
It's ominous.
(35:45):
This is one of those songs I'llplay.
I'll just keep repeating itlike three times in a row when
I'm driving.
This is what I've beenlistening to lately.
I've been listening to a lot ofthis type of music and again
(36:10):
I'm going to get a copyright hiton this in us is such a sound
(37:00):
of fire.
I love that synth.
I love that synth.
I love that synth.
What a great version of thatsong.
And I stumbled into that, likebecause I go down these rabbit
holes with music and I will sitthere sometimes for I don't know
(37:22):
an hour, sometimes two hours,and just go down these rabbit
holes of genres of music and Iwill just skip song and I'll
just listen.
If I don't like it in the first30 seconds it doesn't catch me.
I just move on.
Boom, boom.
Then you hear that song and Iheard this and I was at first I
was like what, this soundsfamiliar, like this song sounds
(37:44):
familiar.
I didn't even really look atthe name.
I looked there.
I said superstar, wait a minute, that's uh, that's the
carpenters.
And then I, that's the, that's,this is a remake.
And I was amazed and how coolit was and how this, like I said
, very haunting, a very hauntingversion of that song.
That song in itself is kind ofit's kind of a sad song.
(38:05):
But all right, moving on.
Let's see what else.
Uh, carrie, number 20 on thebest.
Uh, well, according to vcrmagazine, uh, best front women.
Uh, carrie brownstein, sleater,kinney I don't know who that is
, so I'm gonna move on.
Uh, belinda carlisle, belindaCarlyle, oh, we're not doing 25,
(38:26):
I guess, but okay, belindaCarlyle.
Number 19 the late greatDolores O'Riordan from the
Cranberries.
Yeah, that's a horrible story.
That's a horrible story how shedied.
They figured out she drowned inher bathtub.
(38:48):
Yeah, sad, kim Gordon, sonicYouth at number 17.
I agree with that.
She's about where she should be.
Number 16, kathleen Hanna fromBikini Kill.
I've heard of them, not reallya fan of that type of music.
(39:10):
Oh, here's my girl, shirleyManson from Gobbage.
She's at 15.
Yeah, shirley Manson, what agreat stage presence she had
when I saw her live.
She absolutely controls thestage, there's no doubt about it
.
She has command and control ofthe crowd, the stage presence.
She is a true rock star.
(39:32):
Shirley Manson, susie, sue, Ialways you know what.
So Susie and the Banshees,that's an interesting group to
me.
They were a big part of the NewWave movement in the 80s.
They were a big part of the newwave movement in the 80s.
But for the most part, I hate,I hate, I hate their version of
Dear Prudence.
I was like what a shit songthey did with that.
(39:59):
They had a couple of good songs.
I was kind of a fan from adistance, but not really Like
caught up in them.
She just happened to be thefemale amongst all those bands
that came out around the Clashand all those bands that came
out.
Who else were we at?
Karen O from the yeah yeah,yeahs.
Okay, Gwen Stefani from noDoubt what the fuck?

Scott McLean (42:57):
Courtney loves a rockstar.
You know there's so there's alot of talk that said she didn't
write her lyrics and she didn'tdo this and she didn't do that.
And I would probably say thatKurt Cobain had a lot to do with
writing that.
The lyrics to the songs on thealbum live through this.
(43:19):
But, with that said, she'sstill a rock star.
She's still a rock star.
She's still a rock star.
She's crazy, crazy, crazy.

my wall when I was a kid andI'll just leave it at that.

dressed in that kind ofandrogynous David Bowie type
thing, still hot, hot, hot, asthe late great Busta Poindexter

So this dude should not be on,should not be on the list,
especially at number four.
That's like that dude.

Janice, so I'm just going to goright by him, that dude.

and said I love America.
Well then, you get me back.

You got to bear with me onthese things.
I got to get it, but I likedoing this.

This guy hasn't performed since2020, right, this clown show,
(49:37):
this vaudeville act?
David Lee Roth set second 2025concert date.
What's he releasing them like?
Once a week?
This is great.
This is typical of thisegomaniac.
Like I said, the more I lookback at David Lee Roth in the
80s, the more I say, yeah, I wasdrinking a lot, because he
(50:00):
wasn't really that cool.
We would just like to believethat he's actually a douche.
David Lee Roth now has two showsscheduled for this year,
marking his first timeperforming since, like I said,
2020.
It was previously announcedthat on May 3rd he'll appear at
(50:21):

approximately four months later.

information via the venue's siteconfirms pre-sale tickets will

Followed by regular sale onMarch 28th.

Speaker 2 (51:00):

Yeah, you know I'm going toplay, but I don't really have a
band yet.
But you know, because you knownobody really wants to play with
me.
Let's finish this up.
Last time Roth gave an officialperformance was when he opened
for kiss on march 10th 2020 atthe united supermarket arena,
(51:25):
supermarkets arena and lubbock,texas.
The following year, rothannounced that he planned on
throwing in the shoes andretiring after a run of farewell
shows in las vegas.
I saw videos from those and theywere not good.
They did not sound good or lookgood.
Scheduled for early 2022, thesedates were ultimately canceled
(51:46):
due to unforeseen circumstancesrelated to covid abundance of
caution for working andattending and attending those
shows the ones I saw he was at aclub somewhere and it just
wasn't good.
You can go find them on youtube.
So, yeah, so it, that's it.
I got through the show, startedoff rough.
(52:07):
Haven't done it in three weeks.
Things get rusty, you know, butI'm back and I'll be here next
week and maybe I'll do some moremusic news next week.
Uh, we'll see.
Maybe Jack will show up andwe'll do music news together.
I don't know.
I don't know, but I kind oflike doing the music news.
So maybe that's a rabbit hole.
I will start traveling down,but let me get back on my

regular screen.

listening for one hour and threeminutes, although the first
five minutes were a disaster.
But I don't care.
After 177 shows.
It's not that I don't care.
I just have come to theconclusion that this shit is
going to happen.
Sometimes this is what happens.
I just have come to theconclusion that this shit is
going to happen.
Sometimes this is what happens.
I've said this from thebeginning.
When you do live streaming,shit just happens, unexpected
(53:12):
shit happens, and it's easier ifyou have a team of people that
handle this shit and you're justthe personality.
But I am the team and I am thepersonality, big personality,
big, larger than life.
That's me.
Anyway.
