All right, what do we got forthe first story?
Bring it up on the screen, allright.
John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten,says he'll never rejoin the woke
(04:18):
Sex Pistols.
After Dirty Deeds.
After dirty deeds, okay, johnLydon is hit out at the Sex
Pistols reunion, again saying hewill never rejoin the band.
Earlier this year, the formerPistols frontman criticized the
reunion with Frank Cotta,branding it karaoke.
(04:43):
If there's any of you ever seenan interview with John Lydon,
johnny Lydon, johnny Rotten, theguy is surprisingly witty and
very, very smart.
He is the epitome of do notjudge a book by its cover.
(05:04):
He is the epitome of do notjudge a book by its cover
Because the guy, the guy, let medo something over here, let me
see there we go and he's neverat a loss for words.
So now in an interview with PAvia the Independent, when asked
if he would reunite with theband, lydon said never, not.
(05:26):
After what I consider theirdirty deeds, let them wallow in
Walt Disney woke expectations.
Yikes, they've killed thecontent, or done their best to,
and turned the whole thing intoa rubbish child, child
childishness, and that'sunacceptable.
(05:46):
Turning into rubbish, childchildishness I can't say that
word.
For some strange reason headded sorry, I'm not going to
give a helping hand to this anylonger.
As far as I'm concerned, I I amthe Pistols and they're not.
A lot of people would agreewith that.
(06:08):
He is the face of the group andthere are certain groups and
I've talked about this a lot onthis podcast over the past I
don't know 177, 178, 179episodes that certain bands are
known by their front man.
Their front man is the band.
Now, the musicians in the bandare somewhat known, but for the
(06:33):
most part, when you, when wewere growing up and you heard
the Sex Pistols, you thought oftwo people Johnny Rotten and Sid
Vicious.
Really, unless you were ahardcore fan.
So he is the Pistols, like hesays.
(06:54):
The singer-songwriter previouslyfought a high-profile court
battle against guitarist SteveJones and drummer Paul Cook in a
bid to stop their songs beingused in a 2022 Disney Plus
series of their story Pistol,which was directed by Danny
Boyle.
Lydon eventually lost the case.
That was a big deal.
(07:17):
Yeah, on the Sex Pistolscurrent lineup, he added.
They had to get Billy Idol lastyear and now Mr Carter I'll get
to him in a minute To come inand listen to them his lyrics,
for them To come in and listento them his lyrics.
For them, that's a clown circusat work.
(07:39):
He made similar comments to NMEearlier this year when asked
whether he had had a chance tosee the footage of the band
performing live.
No, but Mr Carter has to followin Billy Idol's footsteps,
doesn't he?
He said at the time poor Billy.
I saw some clips on YouTube andhe's gasping for air.
He can't sing my songs.
(07:59):
No failings is the greatseparator.
Speaking about his frustrationwith the band during the early
days, in the latest interview hesaid I really wanted to
experiment with the Pistols.
I wrote Religion, which is afamous pill song.
Public Image Limited, hissecond band while in the Pistols
(08:22):
, but unfortunately theywouldn't go near it.
His second band while in thepistols, but unfortunately they
wouldn't go near it.
Oh, you can say that it's likehave you not heard everything
I've been saying before?
This is lightweight.
That was frustrating, but Imean again, I don't mean to be
digging them out it's not theirfault that they're talentless
and can't fucking move on, is it?
As for me, variety is the spiceof life.
(08:46):
I love all forms of music and Iadore anyone that's got the
balls to rehearse, play live,record and then deal with the
guillotine that's called thepress.
You should get medals for this.
Never at a loss for words.
The Pistols, who last performedwith Lyme in 2008, headed out on
(09:09):
a UK comeback tour last autumn,with Carter stepping in as
frontman.
This followed two intimate gigsat London's Bush Hall, where
they played Never Mind theBollocks in full.
That's pretty much the album.
They have since announcedfurther live appearances for
2025, including DownloadFestival and the Teenage Cancer
(09:33):
Trust Series at London's RoyalAlbert Hall.
Additionally, guitarist Jonestold NME that Sex Pistols would
be hitting the road in the US.
I don't know who would go seethat.
I can't imagine that the crowdIs going to be big or Not
ridiculous looking.
(09:53):
I mean, come on, these guys arein their late 70s, so who's
going to go see them?
Who's going to go see them?
People in their late 60s, early60s Are they going to dress up
like punks?
Oh, look at me.
I spiked my hair, I put a fakeearring in my nose, I got makeup
(10:14):
on, I got my wristbands withspikes on them, I got my studded
leather belt and I'm going towear these leather pants that
are too tight and, yeah, I'mgoing to get all hey, let's go
dress up like punks and go seethe Sex Pistols.
Good luck.
I mean, maybe I would go to theshow just to see that, just to
(10:35):
see the ridiculousness of that,because people do that.
They get all into it like, hey,let's get all punked out.
Nah, nah, don't, but do for thepeople that want to witness
that circus.
When asked about Lydon frontingthe reunion, jones recently told
(10:57):
NME John ain't interested indoing it.
You think you're going to get anegative thing by doing it
without him.
But I'm surprised there was nobacklash whatsoever.
There was a few diehards onInstagram, but they hadn't even
seen us.
They just can't see.
They can't see it without John,which I get.
But even the ones that came outof curiosity Were into it after
(11:19):
a couple of songs.
When asked whether he wouldever get back in touch with John
Lydon, he responded who knows,you never know.
Pistols bassist Glenn Matlock,who recently spoke to NME about
Lydon's previous comments ontheir current reunion.
When it was put to him thatLydon was unhappy about their
shows, with Carter saying they'dbe bullocks, matlock responded
(11:42):
well, he was wrong, wasn't he?
Because they were good.
John's made his bed.
He can lie in it.
He's happy doing his publicimage stuff.
Good luck to him.
It's not my thing and I'm suremy thing isn't his thing.
Well, interestingly enough,interestingly enough, let's get
(12:02):
back over here.
Interestingly enough, let's getback over here.
It is his thing, it always washis thing.
Always was his thing.
Again, I wouldn't go see them.
I was never a big Sex Pistolsperson anyways.
(12:23):
I like like a handful of songs,maybe three or four songs at
the most, but I wasn't into thatwhole punk scene.
All right, let's see something.
Let's go here.
Bring up the next story.
Last week this was kind of funk.
(12:45):
This got a little funky on me.
There we go.
There we go.
Okay, let's get this out of theway.
So on to this guy.
This guy, if this isn't a bunchof bullshit, I don't know what
(13:09):
is.
I really don't know.
This is pure.
As Johnny Rotten would say,bullocks Bruce Springsteen to
release seven never heard beforefull records on tracks to the
lost albums.
This is bullshit.
I'm not buying it.
(13:29):
I'm not buying it for a second,not for a second that these
albums were lost.
They just got discovered.
You know what?
The guy has run his course.
His relevancy is fading.
He's not who he used to be andthis is a way to try to get back
(13:52):
into relevancy.
This is bullshit.
No one has seven lost albumsnever heard before full records.
In other words, they were trashback in the day.
That's what it was.
They were absolute trash,garbage.
And now they go in and they puta little technology into them
(14:13):
and they dust them off and theybring them out.
They're like, hey, let's, uh,let's just put them all together
.
You know these, these sevennever heard before full records
no, not buying that, but peoplewill, they'll buy it and they'll
(14:35):
pay whatever they're going tocharge for this fucking thing.
Figure seven records.
It's going to be over $200, afucking box set.
I don't see it being any lessthan that.
And what are you going to hear?
You're going gonna hear nothing.
You're gonna hear nothing.
Good, that's just been touchedup, like I said, with technology
.
Let's see where this goes, andI haven't read this article, so
(14:57):
I'm maybe I'm getting ahead ofit.
So bruce springsteen is set torelease seven never heard before
full records on tracks to thelost albums.
The collection, which arrives onJune 27th, will feature seven
previously unheard Springsteenalbums.
You can pre-order them here.
I don't even want to go there,the collection.
(15:21):
Well, maybe I'll do it after Iread the article.
The collection, which spans amass of 83 songs, is said to
fill in rich chapters ofSpringsteen's expensive career
timeline, while offeringinvaluable insight into his life
and work as an artist.
According to a press release,of course.
(15:43):
To a press release, of course.
Robert Kirkman in the commentssays fuck Bruce.
I think there's a lot of peoplethat have that sentiment.
In a statement, springsteensaid I don't know, it's exactly
(16:07):
what he said.
It's exactly how he soundedwhen he said what he said.
In a statement, bruceSpringsteen said the Lost albums
were full records, some of themeven to the point of being
(16:29):
mixed and not released.
Gee, I wonder why.
Maybe because he sold his otherlibrary of records?
He sold all his whole recordinglibrary.
Maybe these weren't included?
Maybe these are the holdouts?
See, nothing sounds right aboutthis.
I've played this music tomyself and often close friends
(16:51):
for years now.
I'm glad you'll get a chance tofinally hear them.
I hope you enjoy them.
Get the fuck this fucking guy.
One of the collections isdescribed as lo-fi exploration
of LA garage sessions in 83.
And serves as a crucial linkbetween Nebraska and born in the
(17:18):
USA To the drum loop andsynthesizer sounds of Streets of
Philadelphia sessions.
The Lost albums offerunprecedented context into 35
prolific years from 83 to 2018,of Springsteen's songwriting and
home recording.
Springsteen elaborated further,saying the ability to record at
(17:43):
home whenever I wanted allowedme to go into a wide variety of
different musical directions.
That was garbage, absolutegarbage.
I'm telling you I can't waittill this shit comes out on like
someone puts it out on Spotifyand you can hear the garbage
that it is.
This is going to be like thenew Snow White movie.
(18:05):
It's going to be a bomb.
It's definitely going to be abomb.
Other collections on thereexcuse me, include a soundtrack
via Faithless for a movie thatwas never made.
There you go Along withcountry-themed collection titled
(18:29):
Somewhere North of Nashville,oh boy.
Others the press statement adsinclude orchestra-driven and
mid-century noir.
Oh, this has's gotta be fucking.
This is more than garbage now.
(18:50):
This is just.
This is a dumpster fire.
Like.
Who is gonna listen to thisshit?
This is, you know what this is.
This, he admitted it.
This is him fucking sitting inhis living room and just playing
this shit.
Fucking orchestra-drivenmid-century noir.
Who wants to hear that shit?
(19:15):
Like, who wants to hear that?
Who wants to hear BruceSpringsteen do that In the
country theme collection.
Anybody can.
Any rock star can turn aroundand do fucking country, just I
mean boy.
Theme collection anybody can.
Any rock star can turn aroundand do fucking country, just I
mean boy.
Yeah, the fucking mess.
Another of the lost albumscalled perfect world is

listen to below, together witha video about the collection for
springsteen.

(20:35):
The collection will arrive vialimited edition 9lp, 7cd and
digital formats, includingdistinctive packaging for each
previously unreleased recordwith a 100 page cloth bound
hardcover book that nobodyfucking looks at anymore.
(20:58):
In other words, it's a fuckingcoffee table book, that's all it
is, featuring rare archivalphotos that will all be
available online about a weekafter the fucking this $250 box
set goes on sale.
Line of notes on each lost album.
They keep saying lost albumfrom essayist Eric Flanagan.
(21:21):
Oh, okay, line of notes from anessayist, what the fuck?
And a personal introduction onthe project from Springsteen
himself.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say.
That's it.
According to a statement,there's also a companion set
(21:44):

feature 20 highlights fromacross the collection.
Oh boy, and they list off 20songs that no one's ever fucking

Good lord, good lord, all right.
What do we got next?
Let me get rid of this.
(23:16):
I saw the headline again.
I'm reading these for the firsttime so I can give you a fresh
take on what I think of whateverthe article is.
So let's get rid of that.
Bring me back up on the screen.
I'm going to have some coffee,let me see.
Patty Yossi says sounds horrible.
(23:36):
Yep, steve Stevens, I lost aSpringsteen album that somebody

So, anyway, enough about me,back Back to the show.
Let me see, I go over here.
(25:04):
Do-do-do, do-do-do, delete this.
Let's bring it up this way.
All right, let's see what storywe have next.
Sharon Osbourne is open to BlackSabbath, abba-style hologram
show.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, okay, just basedon, steve Stevens says, a noble
(25:35):
foundation.
Indeed, yes, it is Just basedon this, this, this headline.
Now I'm sure you've all heardof the abba hologram show and
technology's getting better andyou know these shows, think
shows like that.
I mean, I would go see that,just based on just to see how it
(25:58):
looks.
And you know the sound, youknow is going to be great and
abba is no longer a guiltypleasure for people, people that
I am, let's say, baby boomersat this point, have no problem
saying they like abba.
If they like abba, they reallydon't have any problems saying
(26:18):
it 30 years ago, never, that'sthe shit you listen to in your
car by yourself, like you andyour friend go into a bar.
You're not playing fucking ABBA, you'd be listening to the
radio.
Comes on.
You're like what this shit?
Get this shit off.
But in your head you're like ifyou change my mind, you can
take your time, take a chance onme.
(26:41):
You know, we all know, we allknow.
So let's see, sharon Osbourneis open.
Would you see a Black Sabbathhologram show?
I mean, if you think about it,they weren't like a Motley Crue
(27:01):
or like I don't know know a bandthat was all over the place.
That would be hard to follow.
They pretty much stayed rightwhere they were on stage.
Now the cars the cars would bea good hologram show because
they they just fucking stoodthere literally.
That was a boring band to seein concert.
I've said that a hundred times.
Sharon osborne is open to blacksabbath, abba style hologram
(27:25):
show.
Sharon osborne has said thatshe's open to the idea of black
sabbath.
Let me see if this does.
There we go.
The idea of black sabbathhologram show in the future.
And where did I go?
Okay.
Hologram show in the future andwhere did I go?
Okay.
(27:51):
The legendary heavy metal bandwill be reuniting for one final
live concert at Villa Park intheir hometown of Birmingham on
Saturday, july 5th.
The gig will see the group'smost iconic lineup, comprising
frontman Ozzy Osbourne,guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist
Giza Butler and drummer BillWard play on stage together for
the first time in two decades.
There's also a stacked lineupof other major acts set to
(28:16):
perform at the event, dubbedBack to the Beginning.
These include Metallica, slayer, pantera, alice in chains,
gojira gojira I saw them back upcorn uh about six, seven months
ago and my my critique on themwere um, very, very.
(28:40):
They're like metal, they'realmost like death metal, and the
first three songs were good,and then the rest sounded just
like the first three songs.
So that's what you get withthem Smashing Pumpkins, billy
Corrigan, slash, duff McKagan ofGuns N' Roses and my boys Korn.
Now that sounds like it's goingto be a great show.
(29:03):
Additionally, tom Morello willbe performing and serving as the
show's musical director InFebruary.
Guns N' Roses, tool and morewere added to the bill.
Speaking of Metal HammerMagazine, which I don't know
where that came from.
Speaking of Metal HammerMagazine, which I don't know
where that came from.
Ozzy's wife and manager askedif she would ever consider an
(29:27):
ABBA Voyage-style return forSabbath.
Sure, I would.
Yeah, sharon responded.
I mean, if they get paid,she'll do it.
She will do it.
Technology keeps moving on.
You can do incredible thingsnow, so what you can do in five
years will be even better.
You never know what theopportunities are to get paid.
(29:52):
As for the return of drummerWard, who did not participate in
Sabbath's farewell tour, theend in 2016,.
17,.
Again, like Kiss, like I talkedabout last week, oh, farewell
tour.
This is the final tour.
This is the tour.
That's it.
This is the last one.
And then Kiss goes.
Yeah, we're going to be playingin Vegas.
Sharon told the publication.
(30:15):
Bill has always been fantasticwith Ozzy.
I always say they've got thatinvisible connection between the
four of them and he's going tobe there, which is amazing.
She added I'm not going tobullshit you and say we're the
best of friends.
We're not, we're such differentpeople.
But I respect Bill so much andI'm so happy that he's agreed to
(30:38):
come for the band and for thefans and the payday cha-ching.
Good, fam, make that money whenyou're 80.
It was recently reported thatOzzy was back in the gym in
preparation for the last everBlack Sabbath gig.
Good for him.
He's all fucked up, ozzy's allfucked up.
(30:59):
It's hard to not like the guy,no matter what.
It's hard to not like him.
I very he.
You've never heard him sayanything derogatory, anything
bad.
It was his actions that got him, uh, his reputation, not his
words, not his mouth.
Uh, steve stevens, uh, gojira.
(31:21):
Gojira sounds like a Japaneseperson trying to pronounce
Godzilla.
You know what it sounded likethat when I first heard it too.
Well, godzilla's name inJapanese is isn't it like Gojira
, Something like that.
Maybe that is it.
Let's see.
(31:42):
Here we go.
His longtime collaborator inguitar, zach Wild, has since
teased that the Prince ofDarkness may perform from a
throne that flies over thestadium.
At the concert Earlier, ozzytold fans that he would only be
doing little bits and pieceswith Sabbath at the massive date
(32:05):
amid his health issues.
I'm doing what I can where Ifeel comfortable.
You know his adrenaline isgoing to kick in.
There's no doubt his adrenalinewill kick in and he'll do
probably more than he thinkshe'll do.
I'm trying to get back on myfeet.
When you get up in the morning,you just jump out of bed.
(32:26):
I have to balance myself, butI'm not dead.
I'm still active and doingthings good for him.
Uh, this came after ozzyrevealed that now we can't walk,
that now he can't walk as aresult of Parkinson's disease.
However, his wife and manager,sharon, has assured fans that
(32:48):
his illness doesn't affect hisvoice.
That fly and throne would bepretty interesting actually Be
pretty interesting.
When speaking to NME alongsideTony Iommi at Villa Park, sharon
explained that her husband wasdoing really great at the moment
.
She told us that Ozzy wasfeeling very emotional about the
(33:09):
final Sabbath show and that itwas what he wants.
He wants to say thank you toeverybody.
Sharon continued he didn't havethat chance because of his
illness, but now he does havethat chance.
Yes, he does.
Speaking further with aboutOzzy's health, she added he's
got Parkinson's, which we allknow, but he's great and it
(33:33):
doesn't affect his voice.
Iommi then told NME that theSabbath gig would do him good,
explaining that's what it's allabout.
He wants to get out and dosomething.
Sharon said he feels like he'snever had a chance to thank the
fans, to say thank you for thisunbelievable life Elsewhere.
In NME's interview, sharon saidthat the concert would be just
(33:55):
about celebrating the old musicthat still lives on, rather than
Black Sabbath releasing any newmusic to coincide with the date
and definitely don't do any ofthat fucking Dio trash fucking
deal.
You know I've said this before,I'll say it again.
(34:16):
Uh, steve Stevens says I sawthe last two, uh, final Sabbath
shows.
It's on a roll tonight the lasttwo final Sabbath shows.
You know this whole Dioexperiment was a fuck.
(34:36):
That black and blue tour, thatfucking that concert, was the
worst concert I've ever been to.
I mean blue oyster cult playedI don't know they played
godzilla, speaking of gozira,and uh, you know, don't fear the
reaper and there was a couplemaybe wanted to I'm, I'm burning
for you and you know whatever.
But then fucking dio came, cameout with Black Sabbath and it
(34:59):
was like what the fuck is thisLike?
Worst concert I've ever been to.
Great name, fucking great namefor a tour, worst concert I've
ever been to.
So they're not doing any Dioshit.
Thank God, not that Ozzy wouldwant to do that.
Anyways, let's see.
Uh, you get to a stage in yourcareer, whatever you do just
(35:26):
doesn't stand up to what you didbefore.
To be able to rest on yourlaurels and say people still
love that and it's still sellingand we can't do better than
what we've done.
That's enough.
Sharon said this is acelebration of the genre and the
pioneers who started it Yep andpassed it on to all these bands
(35:48):
.
Usually, this thing is donewhen you're dead.
That's a great point.
That is a great point rightthere.
Why didn't I think of that?
Yeah, these tributes areusually done like after the fact
, so it's nice that these guyscan be alive to be appreciated.
I only added I was justthinking that we're having it
(36:12):
before we go now see, sharonbrought it into everybody.
There you go.
Good job, sharon.
I always liked her.
She guess, evidently, is afucking handful sometimes, but
not that I know her man talkinglike I've met her In other news.
We're not going to talk aboutother news, so again I would
(36:36):
probably, just out of curiosity.
How's this?
I would go see a Black Sabbathvirtual reality hologram show
before I went to see thisversion of the Sex Pistols live.
How's that?
Referring to the previousarticle, one of the previous
(36:56):
articles yeah, that's where I'dgo with that.
All right, getting rid of that.
One.
One of the previous articles.
Yeah, that's where I'd go withthat.
All right, get rid of that oneTime for some more coffee, ice
coffee only, ice coffee only.
Oh, this next one is a littletouchy, little touchy, little
(37:21):
touchy.
Let's see where we go with this.
Here we go.
This shit never gets old.
This shit never gets old.
(37:43):
This shit never it's, it's,it's now.
With that said, all of this isunfortunate for the victims.
I just want to say that, uh,the victims in this and there's
many, the shit that does't andit's, you know it's, it's tragic
(38:04):
, it's tragic and, all and allhonestly, all joking inside, the
shit that doesn't get old is.
New lawsuit accuses diddy ofhuman trafficking, claims
beyonce jay-z.
Lebron jays, who was rightthere on video saying ain't no
party like a diddy party.
That piece of shit.
And he is a piece of shit.
(38:26):
Lebron James Witnessed victimafter assault.
I'm sure they did.
The alleged freak-off incidenttook place at a party in 2015
and the rappers team have deniedthe allegations.
(38:50):
A new lawsuit has been filedagainst sean diddy combs,
accusing him of humantrafficking.
The allegations were putforward by a florida man called
j, called Joseph Manzaro, whoalleges that the rapper
assaulted and humiliated him.
I bet you didn't see thatcoming.
It's a guy, but we all knowthat Diddy was gay anyways.
(39:14):
Not that there's anything wrongwith that.
Thank god Seinfeld came outwith that that whole.
Not that there's anything wrongwith that.
Thank God Seinfeld came outwith that that whole.
Not that there's anything wrongwith that.
Steve Stevens got to check out.
All right, buddy, love you.
My friend Steve Stevens helpedme out quite a bit when I was
getting my father's affairs inorder a couple weeks back, a
month or so back, and I love himand appreciate him, been
(39:37):
friends for a long time.
So thanks for checking in,steve Stevens.
All right.
The allegations were put forwardby a Florida man called Joseph
Manzaro, who alleges that therapper assaulted and humiliated
him at an event in 2015 and thathe was seen on the night by
Beyonce, jay-z and LeBron James,who, I'll say we never been
there.
We never did that, no, no, no.
(39:58):
James, who I'll say we neverbeen there, we never did that,
no, no, no.
According to the filing, thealleged incident took place
during a birthday party held byDiddy for his son, christian
Combs.
Manzaro claims he was druggedand transported to Star Island
in Miami for the party beforebeing involved in a freak off.
(40:20):
Here we go.
Let's get into the minutia ofthis whole thing.
He says in the claim that therapper and business mogul
humiliated him by strapping apenis to his face and parading
him around.
I can't even joke about that.
(40:42):
That's just fucking demented.
As reported by TMZ, manzaroclaims he was led through a
secret tunnel in Diddy's homeand was noticed by Beyonce and
Jay-Z.
He says Beyonce asked what'sthis?
What's this all about?
Why is this half-naked whiteman with a cock mask standing
(41:03):
around here in front of me Whilea member of Diddy's entourage
allegedly replied Diddy wantshim to see what we do to
snitches.
This is part of his punishment.
I wonder if we'll get to that.
(41:24):
He says he was forcibly paradedaround, forced to wear a small
thong and a black leather maskwith a rubber attachment and
subjected to non-consensual acts.
Others he claims saw him at theevent were Gloria Estefan and
(41:46):
her husband, emilio LeBron Jamesand celebrity jeweler Jacob
Arabo.
Which this all makes sense With?
The lawsuit?
Manzaro was not suing Jay-Z,beyonce, lebron James or Jacob
Arabo.
He is suing Diddy, emilioEstefan, who he says stopped him
(42:06):
from receiving medical care,adria English, who he claims
ushered him into the event, andBrendan Paul, who he claims
helpedhered him into the event.
And Brendan Paul who claims uh,who he claims helped Diddy drug
him.
It is worth noting that theoutlets, including TMZ, have
reported that Jay-Z was in NewYork City on the date of the
(42:28):
alleged incident.
Doesn't mean you can't fly backand forth.
It's only on a jet.
It's like two and a half hours.
Additionally, combs' legal teamdenied the claims in a statement
to TMZ.
Of course they did.
This complaint demonstrates thedepraved lengths plaintiffs
will travel to Ghana headlinesin pursuit of a payday.
(42:49):
It read.
No sane person reading thiscomplaint could credit this
story.
Reading this complaint couldcredit this story.
Mr Combs looks forward tohaving his day in court, where
these lies and the perversemotives of those who told them
will be revealed.
Now this is.
This makes me even more happythat I'm retired, because I
(43:11):
watched that whole, that wholeJohnny Depp, amber Heard trial
and I don't really watch thosethings.
That was fascinating, that wasfucking fascinating.
It was insane.
This trial, oh boy, I will beup in the morning, I'll have my
(43:32):
fucking coffee.
I might, just I might take aweek off from my podcast, from
my foundation.
I might just take time just towatch this shit.
This is going to be someriveting TV.
Uh, let me see A representativefor Gloria and Emilio Estefan
(43:58):
told TMZ.
Gloria and Emilio Estefanstrongly deny the allegations
made.
Of course you do, why wouldn'tyou?
We have all necessarydocumentation to support these
facts and we'll provide it intothe court.
Yeah, okay, yep, patty's goingto watch it too.
Steve Stevens, keep onpodcasting.
You're incredible.
Thank you.
You, my friend, thank you.
Yeah, we have all the necessarydocumentation that we fucking
(44:23):
are forging right now because wegot blamed.
Uh, now there's this.
If there's video, if they gotvideo from that place, if they
supposedly got everything.
They, they, the fbi went inthere and they took everything
computers, cameras, everything.
(44:45):
So there just might be videothat they're there.
They might.
That might be one of the thingswe'll see.
An attorney for brendan paultold the outlet.
The allegations against brendanare 100 false and literally
impossible to have occurred.
Brendan was still in highschool in ohio at the time,
having never even set foot inwest palm beach in his life.
(45:07):
Brendan paul is one of thepeople that got.
He's the one that's gettingblamed for drugging the victim.
Similarly, a spokesman forLeBron James said this is
demonstrably false.
Well, lebron didn't say that.
I don't think he knows thatword even means.
(45:30):
This is demonstrably false anddoesn't even merit a report or
response.
A basic internet search showsLeBron was doing all of April
what was doing all of April 2015.
He was playing basketball forthe Cleveland Cavaliers and
(45:51):
never in Miami.
So well, let's see.
Let's see the guy.
So why would the guy come upand just make these dates up?
That's the thing.
And basketball stars, footballstars, hockey players, baseball
players they have been known toplay a game and then fly
(46:13):
somewhere, go to a party.
You got the money.
You got the money.
You got the jet.
If you're only an hour away.
Maybe they were playing theAtlanta Hawks.
Dude flies down to Miami, thenmeets the team the next day, you
know, does his thing, meets theteam next game.
Maybe they were off the nextday.
There's so many ways this couldhappen the next day.
(46:40):
There's so many ways this couldhappen.
The news of the accusationscomes just days after a separate
one of Diddy's sexual assaultlawsuits was dismissed on Monday
.
Claims of sexual traffickingagainst Combs and former chief
of staff Christina Coram, aswell as sexual assault and
premises liability claimsagainst Combs, have been upheld.
However, let me say that againClaims of sex trafficking
(47:05):
against Combs, as well as sexualassault and premise liability
claims against Combs, have beenupheld, however Okay.
So sex trafficking is still onthe table.
An attorney for combs saidjones, reckless name dropping
about events that are purefiction and simply did not
happen is nothing more than atransparent attempt to garner
(47:25):
headlines, whilst quorum deniedall allegations, as they would
and as is to be expected.
Uh, let me see another news.
One of combs lawyers recentlyquit the rapper's forthcoming
criminal sex trafficking case,writing under no circumstances
can I continue to effectivelyserve as counsel for sean combs,
(47:46):
consistent with the abastandards of criminal justice.
That never looks good, that thatnever.
That never looks good.
Yeah, when your lawyer quitsnever looks good.
Nope, nope, nope.
All right, let me see.
What else do we got?
(48:09):
Let's see, let's see, let's see.
I think we got two more, twomore articles tonight.
I actually like doing this and,yeah, let's see.
I think we have one to go.
Let me see.
What is this one?
(48:29):
This is an old one.
Let's go to this one.
I guess we're on the lastarticle.
All right, coming up on an hour, it should be done right about
an hour.
The who's, roger daltrey I'vebeen told I'm going blind.
Now.
How ironic is that.
And this is what he says.
Again, I haven't read these.
Thank god I've still got myvoice.
(48:51):
If I lost that, I'll go full.
Tommy, exactly, is he going tostop playing pinball too?
I got a machine he can comeover and play with me.
I just have to lead him there.
That deaf, dumb and blind guysure sings a mean rock song.
(49:14):
I know that's bad, that's bad,but hey, he said it, not me, he
started it.
The who's, roger Daltrey, hastold the live audience that he
has been informed that he isgoing blind, which is, again,
joking aside.
That's not good.
That's not good.
(49:34):
Again, joking aside, that's notgood.
That's not good.
The rock legends were playingthe first of two shows at
London's Royal Albert Hall onThursday, march 27th for the
Teenage Cancer Trust when thefront man opened up about his
condition.
Look at all these rock starsOzzy Parkinson's, fucking Roger
(49:55):
Daltrey going deaf, dumb andblind.
Let's just say it.
There's a bunch of them outthere.
The problem with this job is yougo deaf.
He said from the stage.
And now I've been told that I'mgoing blind.
Referencing the band's 1969rock opera title character, he
(50:17):
added thank god I'm still got myvoice.
If I lost that, I'll go fulltommy.
Well, if he goes blind, then hegoes deaf.
I just I had to.
I'm sorry, I can't help that.
It's very well.
(50:39):
You know what?
No one's Canceling anybodyanymore, so I don't give a shit.
Not that I care about that.
To begin with, let's see.
Oh, you know what?
I'm not even.
I don't even have this up onthe screen.
I've just been reading it.
See, because I haven't looked.
Here we go, let's get rid ofthis.
Let's get rid of this.
Let me bring that back up onthe screen.
(50:59):
See, I got ahead of myself.
I was doing so good.
Here we go, there we go.
I'm not going to read it again,but here's what it looks like
for the viewers of the livestream and the rewatch, the
podcast.
They don't care, they're justlistening.
(51:21):
Ah, where was I?
There we go.
The who played a hits-packedshow at the London venue, with a
second date to follow on Sundaynight, march 30th.
Daltrey founded the TeenageCancer Trust concerts in 2000,
(51:45):
but announced last year that hewas stepping down as curator
because he's not in good health.
The cure is Robert Smith totake the reins.
Good for him, good for him.
Good for him.
Daltrey turned 81 earlier thismonth and he told the Times last
year that he has to berealistic about his age,
claiming that he is on the wayout.
(52:05):
Yep, yep, yep.
Would you go see an 81-year-old, roger Daltrey, sing though?
I saw them at the Garden forthe who Are you Tour without
Keith Moon.
Great show, great show.
Glad I saw them, but I wouldn'tgo see the remaining two.
(52:29):
Pete Townsend's, pete Townsend,I don't know.
The average life expectancy is83.
With a bit of luck I'll makethat, but we need someone else
to drive things.
He said about the decision tostep down from the role.
I'm not leaving TCT.
I've been a patron since Ifirst met the charity's founder,
(52:49):
dr Adrian, and Myrna Whitesonmore than 30 years ago, and that
will continue.
Continue, but I'll be workingin the back room talking to the
government rattling cages.
Also, last year, daltrey gavean interview about the future of
the who in which he said he washappy that that part of my life
(53:10):
is over, before clarifying that, ultimately, any decision about
calling it a day would have tobe made alongside Pete Townsend.
Townsend told NME last year thathe is pretty sure there will be
more shows by the who in thefuture.
I can't really see the point ofmaking a big deal of the who's,
(53:30):
of last who's shows, apart fromthe fact that it might help
sell a few tickets.
He said see, that's why he'salways been.
He marches to his own drummer,always has, always will.
Pete Townsend.
I would go see Pete Townsend.
Pete Townsend can tour byhimself.
He has enough material to dothat.
(53:52):
He doesn't need to do this withthe who.
He can sing all the who songsthat he sang on, which was a
good amount of them, and hissolo work, which was very good.
Uh, let me see, when we startedthe last us tour the year
before last, some of the seatswere not filled.
An easy way to fill seats is tosay we're not coming back and
(54:13):
this can be the last set ofshows.
Right, kiss, black sabbath,blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
What I would prefer was that theband adjusted itself to the
audience that wants to see it,rather than just saying we need
to fill arenas in order to gohome with enough money to make
the whole thing worthwhile,because they're all fucking,
(54:34):
they.
They are both loaded, so theydon't really need the money.
But then again, how much is toomuch?
The story of the end of the?
Who is going to be when eitherroger or I drop dead and can't
function anymore on stage?
Which makes sense?
Yeah, makes sense, yeah, andthat's it.
(54:56):
That's it.
Five stories, five stories, onehour, Right on 55 minutes.
I like this little format here.
It's interesting, it'sinformative, which is so.
This rabbit hole will continue.
Maybe Jack might jump in everyonce in a while, but I think I'm
(55:17):
going to go down this for alittle while.
I like doing this, like I hadsaid earlier a few times, and
yeah, let me get rid of this.
Let me come back on the screen.
There I am well.
I want to thank you forwatching.
Thank you for listening.
If you like it, share it.
If you didn't like it, well,thanks for listening for 55,
well, 56 minutes, just short ofan hour.

I didn't see that.
Oh geez, they're all fallingapart.
Yep, nope.
Honest though, yeah, he ishonest.

that, again, thank you forwatching.

All right, what do we got forthe first story?
Bring it up on the screen, allright.
John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten,says he'll never rejoin the woke
(04:18):
Sex Pistols.
After Dirty Deeds.
After dirty deeds, okay, johnLydon is hit out at the Sex
Pistols reunion, again saying hewill never rejoin the band.
Earlier this year, the formerPistols frontman criticized the
reunion with Frank Cotta,branding it karaoke.
(04:43):
If there's any of you ever seenan interview with John Lydon,
johnny Lydon, johnny Rotten, theguy is surprisingly witty and
very, very smart.
He is the epitome of do notjudge a book by its cover.
(05:04):
He is the epitome of do notjudge a book by its cover
Because the guy, the guy, let medo something over here, let me
see there we go and he's neverat a loss for words.
So now in an interview with PAvia the Independent, when asked
if he would reunite with theband, lydon said never, not.
(05:26):
After what I consider theirdirty deeds, let them wallow in
Walt Disney woke expectations.
Yikes, they've killed thecontent, or done their best to,
and turned the whole thing intoa rubbish child, child
childishness, and that'sunacceptable.
(05:46):
Turning into rubbish, childchildishness I can't say that
word.
For some strange reason headded sorry, I'm not going to
give a helping hand to this anylonger.
As far as I'm concerned, I I amthe Pistols and they're not.
A lot of people would agreewith that.
(06:08):
He is the face of the group andthere are certain groups and
I've talked about this a lot onthis podcast over the past I
don't know 177, 178, 179episodes that certain bands are
known by their front man.
Their front man is the band.
Now, the musicians in the bandare somewhat known, but for the
(06:33):
most part, when you, when wewere growing up and you heard
the Sex Pistols, you thought oftwo people Johnny Rotten and Sid
Vicious.
Really, unless you were ahardcore fan.
So he is the Pistols, like hesays.
(06:54):
The singer-songwriter previouslyfought a high-profile court
battle against guitarist SteveJones and drummer Paul Cook in a
bid to stop their songs beingused in a 2022 Disney Plus
series of their story Pistol,which was directed by Danny
Boyle.
Lydon eventually lost the case.
That was a big deal.
(07:17):
Yeah, on the Sex Pistolscurrent lineup, he added.
They had to get Billy Idol lastyear and now Mr Carter I'll get
to him in a minute To come inand listen to them his lyrics,
for them To come in and listento them his lyrics.
For them, that's a clown circusat work.
(07:39):
He made similar comments to NMEearlier this year when asked
whether he had had a chance tosee the footage of the band
performing live.
No, but Mr Carter has to followin Billy Idol's footsteps,
doesn't he?
He said at the time poor Billy.
I saw some clips on YouTube andhe's gasping for air.
He can't sing my songs.
(07:59):
No failings is the greatseparator.
Speaking about his frustrationwith the band during the early
days, in the latest interview hesaid I really wanted to
experiment with the Pistols.
I wrote Religion, which is afamous pill song.
Public Image Limited, hissecond band while in the Pistols
(08:22):
, but unfortunately theywouldn't go near it.
His second band while in thepistols, but unfortunately they
wouldn't go near it.
Oh, you can say that it's likehave you not heard everything
I've been saying before?
This is lightweight.
That was frustrating, but Imean again, I don't mean to be
digging them out it's not theirfault that they're talentless
and can't fucking move on, is it?
As for me, variety is the spiceof life.
(08:46):
I love all forms of music and Iadore anyone that's got the
balls to rehearse, play live,record and then deal with the
guillotine that's called thepress.
You should get medals for this.
Never at a loss for words.
The Pistols, who last performedwith Lyme in 2008, headed out on
(09:09):
a UK comeback tour last autumn,with Carter stepping in as
frontman.
This followed two intimate gigsat London's Bush Hall, where
they played Never Mind theBollocks in full.
That's pretty much the album.
They have since announcedfurther live appearances for
2025, including DownloadFestival and the Teenage Cancer
(09:33):
Trust Series at London's RoyalAlbert Hall.
Additionally, guitarist Jonestold NME that Sex Pistols would
be hitting the road in the US.
I don't know who would go seethat.
I can't imagine that the crowdIs going to be big or Not
ridiculous looking.
(09:53):
I mean, come on, these guys arein their late 70s, so who's
going to go see them?
Who's going to go see them?
People in their late 60s, early60s Are they going to dress up
like punks?
Oh, look at me.
I spiked my hair, I put a fakeearring in my nose, I got makeup
(10:14):
on, I got my wristbands withspikes on them, I got my studded
leather belt and I'm going towear these leather pants that
are too tight and, yeah, I'mgoing to get all hey, let's go
dress up like punks and go seethe Sex Pistols.
Good luck.
I mean, maybe I would go to theshow just to see that, just to
(10:35):
see the ridiculousness of that,because people do that.
They get all into it like, hey,let's get all punked out.
Nah, nah, don't, but do for thepeople that want to witness
that circus.
When asked about Lydon frontingthe reunion, jones recently told
(10:57):
NME John ain't interested indoing it.
You think you're going to get anegative thing by doing it
without him.
But I'm surprised there was nobacklash whatsoever.
There was a few diehards onInstagram, but they hadn't even
seen us.
They just can't see.
They can't see it without John,which I get.
But even the ones that came outof curiosity Were into it after
(11:19):
a couple of songs.
When asked whether he wouldever get back in touch with John
Lydon, he responded who knows,you never know.
Pistols bassist Glenn Matlock,who recently spoke to NME about
Lydon's previous comments ontheir current reunion.
When it was put to him thatLydon was unhappy about their
shows, with Carter saying they'dbe bullocks, matlock responded
(11:42):
well, he was wrong, wasn't he?
Because they were good.
John's made his bed.
He can lie in it.
He's happy doing his publicimage stuff.
Good luck to him.
It's not my thing and I'm suremy thing isn't his thing.
Well, interestingly enough,interestingly enough, let's get
(12:02):
back over here.
Interestingly enough, let's getback over here.
It is his thing, it always washis thing.
Always was his thing.
Again, I wouldn't go see them.
I was never a big Sex Pistolsperson anyways.
(12:23):
I like like a handful of songs,maybe three or four songs at
the most, but I wasn't into thatwhole punk scene.
All right, let's see something.
Let's go here.
Bring up the next story.
Last week this was kind of funk.
(12:45):
This got a little funky on me.
There we go.
There we go.
Okay, let's get this out of theway.
So on to this guy.
This guy, if this isn't a bunchof bullshit, I don't know what
(13:09):
is.
I really don't know.
This is pure.
As Johnny Rotten would say,bullocks Bruce Springsteen to
release seven never heard beforefull records on tracks to the
lost albums.
This is bullshit.
I'm not buying it.
(13:29):
I'm not buying it for a second,not for a second that these
albums were lost.
They just got discovered.
You know what?
The guy has run his course.
His relevancy is fading.
He's not who he used to be andthis is a way to try to get back
(13:52):
into relevancy.
This is bullshit.
No one has seven lost albumsnever heard before full records.
In other words, they were trashback in the day.
That's what it was.
They were absolute trash,garbage.
And now they go in and they puta little technology into them
(14:13):
and they dust them off and theybring them out.
They're like, hey, let's, uh,let's just put them all together
.
You know these, these sevennever heard before full records
no, not buying that, but peoplewill, they'll buy it and they'll
(14:35):
pay whatever they're going tocharge for this fucking thing.
Figure seven records.
It's going to be over $200, afucking box set.
I don't see it being any lessthan that.
And what are you going to hear?
You're going gonna hear nothing.
You're gonna hear nothing.
Good, that's just been touchedup, like I said, with technology
.
Let's see where this goes, andI haven't read this article, so
(14:57):
I'm maybe I'm getting ahead ofit.
So bruce springsteen is set torelease seven never heard before
full records on tracks to thelost albums.
The collection, which arrives onJune 27th, will feature seven
previously unheard Springsteenalbums.
You can pre-order them here.
I don't even want to go there,the collection.
(15:21):
Well, maybe I'll do it after Iread the article.
The collection, which spans amass of 83 songs, is said to
fill in rich chapters ofSpringsteen's expensive career
timeline, while offeringinvaluable insight into his life
and work as an artist.
According to a press release,of course.
(15:43):
To a press release, of course.
Robert Kirkman in the commentssays fuck Bruce.
I think there's a lot of peoplethat have that sentiment.
In a statement, springsteensaid I don't know, it's exactly
(16:07):
what he said.
It's exactly how he soundedwhen he said what he said.
In a statement, bruceSpringsteen said the Lost albums
were full records, some of themeven to the point of being
(16:29):
mixed and not released.
Gee, I wonder why.
Maybe because he sold his otherlibrary of records?
He sold all his whole recordinglibrary.
Maybe these weren't included?
Maybe these are the holdouts?
See, nothing sounds right aboutthis.
I've played this music tomyself and often close friends
(16:51):
for years now.
I'm glad you'll get a chance tofinally hear them.
I hope you enjoy them.
Get the fuck this fucking guy.
One of the collections isdescribed as lo-fi exploration
of LA garage sessions in 83.
And serves as a crucial linkbetween Nebraska and born in the
(17:18):
USA To the drum loop andsynthesizer sounds of Streets of
Philadelphia sessions.
The Lost albums offerunprecedented context into 35
prolific years from 83 to 2018,of Springsteen's songwriting and
home recording.
Springsteen elaborated further,saying the ability to record at
(17:43):
home whenever I wanted allowedme to go into a wide variety of
different musical directions.
That was garbage, absolutegarbage.
I'm telling you I can't waittill this shit comes out on like
someone puts it out on Spotifyand you can hear the garbage
that it is.
This is going to be like thenew Snow White movie.
(18:05):
It's going to be a bomb.
It's definitely going to be abomb.
Other collections on thereexcuse me, include a soundtrack
via Faithless for a movie thatwas never made.
There you go Along withcountry-themed collection titled
(18:29):
Somewhere North of Nashville,oh boy.
Others the press statement adsinclude orchestra-driven and
mid-century noir.
Oh, this has's gotta be fucking.
This is more than garbage now.
(18:50):
This is just.
This is a dumpster fire.
Like.
Who is gonna listen to thisshit?
This is, you know what this is.
This, he admitted it.
This is him fucking sitting inhis living room and just playing
this shit.
Fucking orchestra-drivenmid-century noir.
Who wants to hear that shit?
(19:15):
Like, who wants to hear that?
Who wants to hear BruceSpringsteen do that In the
country theme collection.
Anybody can.
Any rock star can turn aroundand do fucking country, just I
mean boy.
Theme collection anybody can.
Any rock star can turn aroundand do fucking country, just I
mean boy.
Yeah, the fucking mess.
Another of the lost albumscalled perfect world is
(19:38):
introduced with a new track,rain in the river, which you can
listen to below, together witha video about the collection for
springsteen.
All right, all right, I'm gonna.
Let's see this.
I'm gonna play it.
I don't know if it's gonna comethrough.
I don't know if I'm gonna getin trouble.
Let's see.
Let's see what it sounds like.
No, no, no, no, nope, nope,nope, nope, nope, nope.
(20:35):
The collection will arrive vialimited edition 9lp, 7cd and
digital formats, includingdistinctive packaging for each
previously unreleased recordwith a 100 page cloth bound
hardcover book that nobodyfucking looks at anymore.
(20:58):
In other words, it's a fuckingcoffee table book, that's all it
is, featuring rare archivalphotos that will all be
available online about a weekafter the fucking this $250 box
set goes on sale.
Line of notes on each lost album.
They keep saying lost albumfrom essayist Eric Flanagan.
(21:21):
Oh, okay, line of notes from anessayist, what the fuck?
And a personal introduction onthe project from Springsteen
himself.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say.
That's it.
According to a statement,there's also a companion set
(21:44):
called Lost and Found selectionsfrom the Lost albums that will
feature 20 highlights fromacross the collection.
Oh boy, and they list off 20songs that no one's ever fucking
heard about.
Nobody Tracks to the lostalbums the la garage sessions,
(22:07):
83 streets of philadelphiasessions, in other words, this
is all the shit that didn't thatone song from the streets of
philadelphia or whatever he haddone.
This is all the shit thatdidn't make it Faithless.
Somewhere north of Nashville,inyo, inyo I could go in about
(22:30):
10 directions with that name.
Inyo, fill in the blank.
You can stick this seven recordlost record collection in your
ass.
Bruce Springsteen, that's whatI say.
Twilight hours, perfect world,whew, whew, ah, no, no, no, no,
(22:56):
no, ah, ah.
Let me see.
What do we got here?
This isn't in a continuation.
Steve Jordan and other newsadolescents all right, yeah,
we're done with that one.
Good lord, good lord, all right.
What do we got next?
Let me get rid of this.
(23:16):
I saw the headline again.
I'm reading these for the firsttime so I can give you a fresh
take on what I think of whateverthe article is.
So let's get rid of that.
Bring me back up on the screen.
I'm going to have some coffee,let me see.
Patty Yossi says sounds horrible.
(23:36):
Yep, steve Stevens, I lost aSpringsteen album that somebody
gave me in the 80s.
I never looked for it.
Wait a minute, I think that wasit.
That is the comment of thenight right there.
(24:02):
And I repeat, steve stevens, Ilost the springsteen album that
somebody gave me in the in the80s.
I never looked for it.
I love that.
Okay, got my.
(24:22):
I have my, got my my.
Vets Connection podcast, coffeemug Vets Connection podcast
doing very well.
And on the other side, myfoundation, the One man, one Mic
Foundation.
There we go teaching veteranshow to podcast and the art and
(24:44):
science of storytelling, whichis doing pretty well.
It's keeping me busy workingwith the veterans.
That's my.
Uh yeah, that's that's for therest of my life.
So, anyway, enough about me,back Back to the show.
Let me see, I go over here.
(25:04):
Do-do-do, do-do-do, delete this.
Let's bring it up this way.
All right, let's see what storywe have next.
Sharon Osbourne is open to BlackSabbath, abba-style hologram
show.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, okay, just basedon, steve Stevens says, a noble
(25:35):
foundation.
Indeed, yes, it is Just basedon this, this, this headline.
Now I'm sure you've all heardof the abba hologram show and
technology's getting better andyou know these shows, think
shows like that.
I mean, I would go see that,just based on just to see how it
(25:58):
looks.
And you know the sound, youknow is going to be great and
abba is no longer a guiltypleasure for people, people that
I am, let's say, baby boomersat this point, have no problem
saying they like abba.
If they like abba, they reallydon't have any problems saying
(26:18):
it 30 years ago, never, that'sthe shit you listen to in your
car by yourself, like you andyour friend go into a bar.
You're not playing fucking ABBA, you'd be listening to the
radio.
Comes on.
You're like what this shit?
Get this shit off.
But in your head you're like ifyou change my mind, you can
take your time, take a chance onme.
(26:41):
You know, we all know, we allknow.
So let's see, sharon Osbourneis open.
Would you see a Black Sabbathhologram show?
I mean, if you think about it,they weren't like a Motley Crue
(27:01):
or like I don't know know a bandthat was all over the place.
That would be hard to follow.
They pretty much stayed rightwhere they were on stage.
Now the cars the cars would bea good hologram show because
they they just fucking stoodthere literally.
That was a boring band to seein concert.
I've said that a hundred times.
Sharon osborne is open to blacksabbath, abba style hologram
(27:25):
show.
Sharon osborne has said thatshe's open to the idea of black
sabbath.
Let me see if this does.
There we go.
The idea of black sabbathhologram show in the future.
And where did I go?
Okay.
Hologram show in the future andwhere did I go?
Okay.
(27:51):
The legendary heavy metal bandwill be reuniting for one final
live concert at Villa Park intheir hometown of Birmingham on
Saturday, july 5th.
The gig will see the group'smost iconic lineup, comprising
frontman Ozzy Osbourne,guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist
Giza Butler and drummer BillWard play on stage together for
the first time in two decades.
There's also a stacked lineupof other major acts set to
(28:16):
perform at the event, dubbedBack to the Beginning.
These include Metallica, slayer, pantera, alice in chains,
gojira gojira I saw them back upcorn uh about six, seven months
ago and my my critique on themwere um, very, very.
(28:40):
They're like metal, they'realmost like death metal, and the
first three songs were good,and then the rest sounded just
like the first three songs.
So that's what you get withthem Smashing Pumpkins, billy
Corrigan, slash, duff McKagan ofGuns N' Roses and my boys Korn.
Now that sounds like it's goingto be a great show.
(29:03):
Additionally, tom Morello willbe performing and serving as the
show's musical director InFebruary.
Guns N' Roses, tool and morewere added to the bill.
Speaking of Metal HammerMagazine, which I don't know
where that came from.
Speaking of Metal HammerMagazine, which I don't know
where that came from.
Ozzy's wife and manager askedif she would ever consider an
(29:27):
ABBA Voyage-style return forSabbath.
Sure, I would.
Yeah, sharon responded.
I mean, if they get paid,she'll do it.
She will do it.
Technology keeps moving on.
You can do incredible thingsnow, so what you can do in five
years will be even better.
You never know what theopportunities are to get paid.
(29:52):
As for the return of drummerWard, who did not participate in
Sabbath's farewell tour, theend in 2016,.
17,.
Again, like Kiss, like I talkedabout last week, oh, farewell
tour.
This is the final tour.
This is the tour.
That's it.
This is the last one.
And then Kiss goes.
Yeah, we're going to be playingin Vegas.
Sharon told the publication.
(30:15):
Bill has always been fantasticwith Ozzy.
I always say they've got thatinvisible connection between the
four of them and he's going tobe there, which is amazing.
She added I'm not going tobullshit you and say we're the
best of friends.
We're not, we're such differentpeople.
But I respect Bill so much andI'm so happy that he's agreed to
(30:38):
come for the band and for thefans and the payday cha-ching.
Good, fam, make that money whenyou're 80.
It was recently reported thatOzzy was back in the gym in
preparation for the last everBlack Sabbath gig.
Good for him.
He's all fucked up, ozzy's allfucked up.
(30:59):
It's hard to not like the guy,no matter what.
It's hard to not like him.
I very he.
You've never heard him sayanything derogatory, anything
bad.
It was his actions that got him, uh, his reputation, not his
words, not his mouth.
Uh, steve stevens, uh, gojira.
(31:21):
Gojira sounds like a Japaneseperson trying to pronounce
Godzilla.
You know what it sounded likethat when I first heard it too.
Well, godzilla's name inJapanese is isn't it like Gojira
, Something like that.
Maybe that is it.
Let's see.
(31:42):
Here we go.
His longtime collaborator inguitar, zach Wild, has since
teased that the Prince ofDarkness may perform from a
throne that flies over thestadium.
At the concert Earlier, ozzytold fans that he would only be
doing little bits and pieceswith Sabbath at the massive date
(32:05):
amid his health issues.
I'm doing what I can where Ifeel comfortable.
You know his adrenaline isgoing to kick in.
There's no doubt his adrenalinewill kick in and he'll do
probably more than he thinkshe'll do.
I'm trying to get back on myfeet.
When you get up in the morning,you just jump out of bed.
(32:26):
I have to balance myself, butI'm not dead.
I'm still active and doingthings good for him.
Uh, this came after ozzyrevealed that now we can't walk,
that now he can't walk as aresult of Parkinson's disease.
However, his wife and manager,sharon, has assured fans that
(32:48):
his illness doesn't affect hisvoice.
That fly and throne would bepretty interesting actually Be
pretty interesting.
When speaking to NME alongsideTony Iommi at Villa Park, sharon
explained that her husband wasdoing really great at the moment
.
She told us that Ozzy wasfeeling very emotional about the
(33:09):
final Sabbath show and that itwas what he wants.
He wants to say thank you toeverybody.
Sharon continued he didn't havethat chance because of his
illness, but now he does havethat chance.
Yes, he does.
Speaking further with aboutOzzy's health, she added he's
got Parkinson's, which we allknow, but he's great and it
(33:33):
doesn't affect his voice.
Iommi then told NME that theSabbath gig would do him good,
explaining that's what it's allabout.
He wants to get out and dosomething.
Sharon said he feels like he'snever had a chance to thank the
fans, to say thank you for thisunbelievable life Elsewhere.
In NME's interview, sharon saidthat the concert would be just
(33:55):
about celebrating the old musicthat still lives on, rather than
Black Sabbath releasing any newmusic to coincide with the date
and definitely don't do any ofthat fucking Dio trash fucking
deal.
You know I've said this before,I'll say it again.
(34:16):
Uh, steve Stevens says I sawthe last two, uh, final Sabbath
shows.
It's on a roll tonight the lasttwo final Sabbath shows.
You know this whole Dioexperiment was a fuck.
(34:36):
That black and blue tour, thatfucking that concert, was the
worst concert I've ever been to.
I mean blue oyster cult playedI don't know they played
godzilla, speaking of gozira,and uh, you know, don't fear the
reaper and there was a couplemaybe wanted to I'm, I'm burning
for you and you know whatever.
But then fucking dio came, cameout with Black Sabbath and it
(34:59):
was like what the fuck is thisLike?
Worst concert I've ever been to.
Great name, fucking great namefor a tour, worst concert I've
ever been to.
So they're not doing any Dioshit.
Thank God, not that Ozzy wouldwant to do that.
Anyways, let's see.
Uh, you get to a stage in yourcareer, whatever you do just
(35:26):
doesn't stand up to what you didbefore.
To be able to rest on yourlaurels and say people still
love that and it's still sellingand we can't do better than
what we've done.
That's enough.
Sharon said this is acelebration of the genre and the
pioneers who started it Yep andpassed it on to all these bands
(35:48):
.
Usually, this thing is donewhen you're dead.
That's a great point.
That is a great point rightthere.
Why didn't I think of that?
Yeah, these tributes areusually done like after the fact
, so it's nice that these guyscan be alive to be appreciated.
I only added I was justthinking that we're having it
(36:12):
before we go now see, sharonbrought it into everybody.
There you go.
Good job, sharon.
I always liked her.
She guess, evidently, is afucking handful sometimes, but
not that I know her man talkinglike I've met her In other news.
We're not going to talk aboutother news, so again I would
(36:36):
probably, just out of curiosity.
How's this?
I would go see a Black Sabbathvirtual reality hologram show
before I went to see thisversion of the Sex Pistols live.
How's that?
Referring to the previousarticle, one of the previous
(36:56):
articles yeah, that's where I'dgo with that.
All right, getting rid of that.
One.
One of the previous articles.
Yeah, that's where I'd go withthat.
All right, get rid of that oneTime for some more coffee, ice
coffee only, ice coffee only.
Oh, this next one is a littletouchy, little touchy, little
(37:21):
touchy.
Let's see where we go with this.
Here we go.
This shit never gets old.
This shit never gets old.
(37:43):
This shit never it's, it's,it's now.
With that said, all of this isunfortunate for the victims.
I just want to say that, uh,the victims in this and there's
many, the shit that does't andit's, you know it's, it's tragic
(38:04):
, it's tragic and, all and allhonestly, all joking inside, the
shit that doesn't get old is.
New lawsuit accuses diddy ofhuman trafficking, claims
beyonce jay-z.
Lebron jays, who was rightthere on video saying ain't no
party like a diddy party.
That piece of shit.
And he is a piece of shit.
(38:26):
Lebron James Witnessed victimafter assault.
I'm sure they did.
The alleged freak-off incidenttook place at a party in 2015
and the rappers team have deniedthe allegations.
(38:50):
A new lawsuit has been filedagainst sean diddy combs,
accusing him of humantrafficking.
The allegations were putforward by a florida man called
j, called Joseph Manzaro, whoalleges that the rapper
assaulted and humiliated him.
I bet you didn't see thatcoming.
It's a guy, but we all knowthat Diddy was gay anyways.
(39:14):
Not that there's anything wrongwith that.
Thank god Seinfeld came outwith that that whole.
Not that there's anything wrongwith that.
Thank God Seinfeld came outwith that that whole.
Not that there's anything wrongwith that.
Steve Stevens got to check out.
All right, buddy, love you.
My friend Steve Stevens helpedme out quite a bit when I was
getting my father's affairs inorder a couple weeks back, a
month or so back, and I love himand appreciate him, been
(39:37):
friends for a long time.
So thanks for checking in,steve Stevens.
All right.
The allegations were put forwardby a Florida man called Joseph
Manzaro, who alleges that therapper assaulted and humiliated
him at an event in 2015 and thathe was seen on the night by
Beyonce, jay-z and LeBron James,who, I'll say we never been
there.
We never did that, no, no, no.
(39:58):
James, who I'll say we neverbeen there, we never did that,
no, no, no.
According to the filing, thealleged incident took place
during a birthday party held byDiddy for his son, christian
Combs.
Manzaro claims he was druggedand transported to Star Island
in Miami for the party beforebeing involved in a freak off.
(40:20):
Here we go.
Let's get into the minutia ofthis whole thing.
He says in the claim that therapper and business mogul
humiliated him by strapping apenis to his face and parading
him around.
I can't even joke about that.
(40:42):
That's just fucking demented.
As reported by TMZ, manzaroclaims he was led through a
secret tunnel in Diddy's homeand was noticed by Beyonce and
Jay-Z.
He says Beyonce asked what'sthis?
What's this all about?
Why is this half-naked whiteman with a cock mask standing
(41:03):
around here in front of me Whilea member of Diddy's entourage
allegedly replied Diddy wantshim to see what we do to
snitches.
This is part of his punishment.
I wonder if we'll get to that.
(41:24):
He says he was forcibly paradedaround, forced to wear a small
thong and a black leather maskwith a rubber attachment and
subjected to non-consensual acts.
Others he claims saw him at theevent were Gloria Estefan and
(41:46):
her husband, emilio LeBron Jamesand celebrity jeweler Jacob
Arabo.
Which this all makes sense With?
The lawsuit?
Manzaro was not suing Jay-Z,beyonce, lebron James or Jacob
Arabo.
He is suing Diddy, emilioEstefan, who he says stopped him
(42:06):
from receiving medical care,adria English, who he claims
ushered him into the event, andBrendan Paul, who he claims
helpedhered him into the event.
And Brendan Paul who claims uh,who he claims helped Diddy drug
him.
It is worth noting that theoutlets, including TMZ, have
reported that Jay-Z was in NewYork City on the date of the
(42:28):
alleged incident.
Doesn't mean you can't fly backand forth.
It's only on a jet.
It's like two and a half hours.
Additionally, combs' legal teamdenied the claims in a statement
to TMZ.
Of course they did.
This complaint demonstrates thedepraved lengths plaintiffs
will travel to Ghana headlinesin pursuit of a payday.
(42:49):
It read.
No sane person reading thiscomplaint could credit this
story.
Reading this complaint couldcredit this story.
Mr Combs looks forward tohaving his day in court, where
these lies and the perversemotives of those who told them
will be revealed.
Now this is.
This makes me even more happythat I'm retired, because I
(43:11):
watched that whole, that wholeJohnny Depp, amber Heard trial
and I don't really watch thosethings.
That was fascinating, that wasfucking fascinating.
It was insane.
This trial, oh boy, I will beup in the morning, I'll have my
(43:32):
fucking coffee.
I might, just I might take aweek off from my podcast, from
my foundation.
I might just take time just towatch this shit.
This is going to be someriveting TV.
Uh, let me see A representativefor Gloria and Emilio Estefan
(43:58):
told TMZ.
Gloria and Emilio Estefanstrongly deny the allegations
made.
Of course you do, why wouldn'tyou?
We have all necessarydocumentation to support these
facts and we'll provide it intothe court.
Yeah, okay, yep, patty's goingto watch it too.
Steve Stevens, keep onpodcasting.
You're incredible.
Thank you.
You, my friend, thank you.
Yeah, we have all the necessarydocumentation that we fucking
(44:23):
are forging right now because wegot blamed.
Uh, now there's this.
If there's video, if they gotvideo from that place, if they
supposedly got everything.
They, they, the fbi went inthere and they took everything
computers, cameras, everything.
(44:45):
So there just might be videothat they're there.
They might.
That might be one of the thingswe'll see.
An attorney for brendan paultold the outlet.
The allegations against brendanare 100 false and literally
impossible to have occurred.
Brendan was still in highschool in ohio at the time,
having never even set foot inwest palm beach in his life.
(45:07):
Brendan paul is one of thepeople that got.
He's the one that's gettingblamed for drugging the victim.
Similarly, a spokesman forLeBron James said this is
demonstrably false.
Well, lebron didn't say that.
I don't think he knows thatword even means.
(45:30):
This is demonstrably false anddoesn't even merit a report or
response.
A basic internet search showsLeBron was doing all of April
what was doing all of April 2015.
He was playing basketball forthe Cleveland Cavaliers and
(45:51):
never in Miami.
So well, let's see.
Let's see the guy.
So why would the guy come upand just make these dates up?
That's the thing.
And basketball stars, footballstars, hockey players, baseball
players they have been known toplay a game and then fly
(46:13):
somewhere, go to a party.
You got the money.
You got the money.
You got the jet.
If you're only an hour away.
Maybe they were playing theAtlanta Hawks.
Dude flies down to Miami, thenmeets the team the next day, you
know, does his thing, meets theteam next game.
Maybe they were off the nextday.
There's so many ways this couldhappen the next day.
(46:40):
There's so many ways this couldhappen.
The news of the accusationscomes just days after a separate
one of Diddy's sexual assaultlawsuits was dismissed on Monday
.
Claims of sexual traffickingagainst Combs and former chief
of staff Christina Coram, aswell as sexual assault and
premises liability claimsagainst Combs, have been upheld.
However, let me say that againClaims of sex trafficking
(47:05):
against Combs, as well as sexualassault and premise liability
claims against Combs, have beenupheld, however Okay.
So sex trafficking is still onthe table.
An attorney for combs saidjones, reckless name dropping
about events that are purefiction and simply did not
happen is nothing more than atransparent attempt to garner
(47:25):
headlines, whilst quorum deniedall allegations, as they would
and as is to be expected.
Uh, let me see another news.
One of combs lawyers recentlyquit the rapper's forthcoming
criminal sex trafficking case,writing under no circumstances
can I continue to effectivelyserve as counsel for sean combs,
(47:46):
consistent with the abastandards of criminal justice.
That never looks good, that thatnever.
That never looks good.
Yeah, when your lawyer quitsnever looks good.
Nope, nope, nope.
All right, let me see.
What else do we got?
(48:09):
Let's see, let's see, let's see.
I think we got two more, twomore articles tonight.
I actually like doing this and,yeah, let's see.
I think we have one to go.
Let me see.
What is this one?
(48:29):
This is an old one.
Let's go to this one.
I guess we're on the lastarticle.
All right, coming up on an hour, it should be done right about
an hour.
The who's, roger daltrey I'vebeen told I'm going blind.
Now.
How ironic is that.
And this is what he says.
Again, I haven't read these.
Thank god I've still got myvoice.
(48:51):
If I lost that, I'll go full.
Tommy, exactly, is he going tostop playing pinball too?
I got a machine he can comeover and play with me.
I just have to lead him there.
That deaf, dumb and blind guysure sings a mean rock song.
(49:14):
I know that's bad, that's bad,but hey, he said it, not me, he
started it.
The who's, roger Daltrey, hastold the live audience that he
has been informed that he isgoing blind, which is, again,
joking aside.
That's not good.
That's not good.
(49:34):
Again, joking aside, that's notgood.
That's not good.
The rock legends were playingthe first of two shows at
London's Royal Albert Hall onThursday, march 27th for the
Teenage Cancer Trust when thefront man opened up about his
condition.
Look at all these rock starsOzzy Parkinson's, fucking Roger
(49:55):
Daltrey going deaf, dumb andblind.
Let's just say it.
There's a bunch of them outthere.
The problem with this job is yougo deaf.
He said from the stage.
And now I've been told that I'mgoing blind.
Referencing the band's 1969rock opera title character, he
(50:17):
added thank god I'm still got myvoice.
If I lost that, I'll go fulltommy.
Well, if he goes blind, then hegoes deaf.
I just I had to.
I'm sorry, I can't help that.
It's very well.
(50:39):
You know what?
No one's Canceling anybodyanymore, so I don't give a shit.
Not that I care about that.
To begin with, let's see.
Oh, you know what?
I'm not even.
I don't even have this up onthe screen.
I've just been reading it.
See, because I haven't looked.
Here we go, let's get rid ofthis.
Let's get rid of this.
Let me bring that back up onthe screen.
(50:59):
See, I got ahead of myself.
I was doing so good.
Here we go, there we go.
I'm not going to read it again,but here's what it looks like
for the viewers of the livestream and the rewatch, the
podcast.
They don't care, they're justlistening.
(51:21):
Ah, where was I?
There we go.
The who played a hits-packedshow at the London venue, with a
second date to follow on Sundaynight, march 30th.
Daltrey founded the TeenageCancer Trust concerts in 2000,
(51:45):
but announced last year that hewas stepping down as curator
because he's not in good health.
The cure is Robert Smith totake the reins.
Good for him, good for him.
Good for him.
Daltrey turned 81 earlier thismonth and he told the Times last
year that he has to berealistic about his age,
claiming that he is on the wayout.
(52:05):
Yep, yep, yep.
Would you go see an 81-year-old, roger Daltrey, sing though?
I saw them at the Garden forthe who Are you Tour without
Keith Moon.
Great show, great show.
Glad I saw them, but I wouldn'tgo see the remaining two.
(52:29):
Pete Townsend's, pete Townsend,I don't know.
The average life expectancy is83.
With a bit of luck I'll makethat, but we need someone else
to drive things.
He said about the decision tostep down from the role.
I'm not leaving TCT.
I've been a patron since Ifirst met the charity's founder,
(52:49):
dr Adrian, and Myrna Whitesonmore than 30 years ago, and that
will continue.
Continue, but I'll be workingin the back room talking to the
government rattling cages.
Also, last year, daltrey gavean interview about the future of
the who in which he said he washappy that that part of my life
(53:10):
is over, before clarifying that, ultimately, any decision about
calling it a day would have tobe made alongside Pete Townsend.
Townsend told NME last year thathe is pretty sure there will be
more shows by the who in thefuture.
I can't really see the point ofmaking a big deal of the who's,
(53:30):
of last who's shows, apart fromthe fact that it might help
sell a few tickets.
He said see, that's why he'salways been.
He marches to his own drummer,always has, always will.
Pete Townsend.
I would go see Pete Townsend.
Pete Townsend can tour byhimself.
He has enough material to dothat.
(53:52):
He doesn't need to do this withthe who.
He can sing all the who songsthat he sang on, which was a
good amount of them, and hissolo work, which was very good.
Uh, let me see, when we startedthe last us tour the year
before last, some of the seatswere not filled.
An easy way to fill seats is tosay we're not coming back and
(54:13):
this can be the last set ofshows.
Right, kiss, black sabbath,blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
What I would prefer was that theband adjusted itself to the
audience that wants to see it,rather than just saying we need
to fill arenas in order to gohome with enough money to make
the whole thing worthwhile,because they're all fucking,
(54:34):
they.
They are both loaded, so theydon't really need the money.
But then again, how much is toomuch?
The story of the end of the?
Who is going to be when eitherroger or I drop dead and can't
function anymore on stage?
Which makes sense?
Yeah, makes sense, yeah, andthat's it.
(54:56):
That's it.
Five stories, five stories, onehour, Right on 55 minutes.
I like this little format here.
It's interesting, it'sinformative, which is so.
This rabbit hole will continue.
Maybe Jack might jump in everyonce in a while, but I think I'm
(55:17):
going to go down this for alittle while.
I like doing this, like I hadsaid earlier a few times, and
yeah, let me get rid of this.
Let me come back on the screen.
There I am well.
I want to thank you forwatching.
Thank you for listening.
If you like it, share it.
If you didn't like it, well,thanks for listening for 55,
well, 56 minutes, just short ofan hour.
(55:40):
I could keep talking.
Well, april popped in.
I didn't see that.
Oh geez, they're all fallingapart.
Yep, nope.
Honest though, yeah, he ishonest.
I mean, they're not in it forthe money, the who, and with
that, again, thank you forwatching.
Thanks for listening.
I always appreciate your timeand, to quote my favorite artist
(56:05):
, morrissey, when doing thisshow for you, the pleasure, the
privilege is mine, and I'll beback next Thursday with music
news.
