What happens when rock legends completely lose the plot? On this entertaining musical journey, I dive into some of rock music's most bewildering failures – albums so unexpected and poorly received that they left fans and critics alike questioning everything they thought they knew about these beloved artists.
The Scorpions' 1999 album "Eye to Eye" stands as a perfect example of a hard rock band abandoning their signature sound for pop territory. With synthesizers and harmonies replacing power chords, tracks like "To Be Number One" sound more like Soft Cell than the German rockers fans had come to love. I play excerpts that demonstrate just how far they strayed from their hard-rocking roots.
We also explore Neil Young's electronic experiment "Trans" (1983), where the folk-rock icon processed his vocals through vocoders and embraced Kraftwerk-inspired soundscapes. There's actually a touching backstory here – Young created these distorted vocals partly to reflect his communication struggles with his non-verbal son who had cerebral palsy. While conceptually interesting, the album remains one of Young's most commercially unsuccessful releases.
Perhaps most notorious is the "Lulu" collaboration between Lou Reed and Metallica from 2011. Despite both artists' legendary status, their partnership produced what many consider one of the worst albums ever recorded. I'll play segments from tracks like "Pumping Blood" that demonstrate how two excellent artists somehow created something far less than the sum of their parts.
We round out our musical misadventures with Lou Reed's infamous "Metal Machine Music" – over an hour of pure noise that was pulled from store shelves just three weeks after its 1975 release. The contrast with BT Express's infectious "Do It ('Til You're Satisfied)" provides a refreshing palate cleanser after our journey through rock's most fascinating failures.

(09:48):
Thank you.
I was watching this other guyon YouTube.
Who is this guy?
You know what?
I still have it up on my TV.
Let's watch this.
This is Sea of Tranquility,whatever that is, but I respect
this guy who's hosting it Histake on music, at least on this.
(10:11):
I'd never seen him before.
Let me see if I can find hisname, but anyhow, I was just
watching.
This came across randomly as Ilet's hear his name again
together.
Maybe he'll say his name hereso we can all hear it.
Hold on, here we go.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Greetings everyone.
T Paro here from CU,Tranquility Welcome to another
edition of Ranked UV Albums.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Today, by popular demand, we're going to look at
my favorite studio albums fromScorpions.
Okay, so you know, okay,Scorpions.
So I'm sitting there, you know,I'm watering the lawn, I'm
doing some things around thehouse, you know, and I'm going
to run a couple of errands and Isee this guy's channel pop up
(10:55):
and I said, okay, I'll see whatyour favorite Scorpions.
I was a fan of the ScorpionsNot everything, but I've seen
them a number of times and Ilike most of their music but I
was waiting to see if he wouldinclude this record and which
then got me to thinking abouttoday's podcast, which is today.
(11:19):
This will be albums by bandsand, in this case, rock bands.
I'm a rock guy, you know whatam I gonna say, but I but I'm
all over the map with music.
Today's rock there's also.
I love soul and funk and all ofthat, but rock bands are rock
artists who released completelygarbage, crap albums like you're
(11:44):
, like what?
No way, there's, no way.
That's who this is, you must bekidding, and and what so, in
talking about the scorpions, Ihaven't.
He has mentioned it as one ofthe considered to be one of the
worst.
No, not one of the worst.
(12:05):
There was another one calledFace the Heat, which is also
horrible, but it's not as bad asthis one, and I remember in the
it must have been like theearly 90s I walked into it was
actually 90,.
(12:26):
No, I think it might have beenthe late 90s, actually 99, let
me look it up, let me see herewhat it was 99, yep, exactly,
that's right, because I wasthinking of another one by
Prince.
I'm not even going to get intothat, but I forgot about that
one until just now, but anyhow.
So this came out in 99.
(12:46):
And I'm in Tower Records overon Florin Road that one never
gets talked about the FlorinRoad location and I, you know,
at the end of the counter or theend of the you know the aisle.
(13:07):
I should say you could pick upheadphones and listen to new
albums that had just come out,and I would do that a lot.
I'd pass the time by listeningto music.
I'm always one to absorb, getto know new music.
Whoever said, oh, you've quitdiscovering new music after the
age of 30, which we talked aboutbefore?
I disagree, at least in my case.
So I see Scorpions have got anew CD.
(13:30):
Put the earphones on theheadphones, excuse me, and I put
this thing on, and I hit thebutton and this pops up.
So this is an album from theScorpions, a beloved rock band,
german rock band.
It's their 14th studio album Ina radical departure.
(13:55):
With this album Eye to Eye Verypop oriented.
Their other stuff was not.
I mean it may have had somecommercial appeal because some
of it black out.
There were some songs they gotplayed on the radio the zoo, I
love that one.
I love the album, love drive.
(14:18):
Just to throw that in there inthe mix.
But this is not like that, noneof those.
It alienated a lot of fans.
I could not believe this.
There was a song on therecalled mysterious, which was
okay, it was not bad.
It actually went to number 26on the billboard hot mainstream
(14:41):
rock tracks chart.
It was the first Scorps albumto feature James Coddick on
drums, final Scorpion studioalbum to feature Ralph
Reicherman on the bass.
And it's also the only timewhere the Scorpions recorded a
record or, excuse me, a songwhich was mostly in the German
(15:05):
language, which, if I say thename it's called you Are so
Dirty, du bist so schmutzig Idon't know if I got that right,
but anyhow, you get the point.
So I thought I would play someof this for you Now.
If you know the Scorpions, youknow Blackout, you know some of
their big songs.
Here's a song off that record,called To Be Number One, on
(15:30):
Pat's Peeps 323.
Yes, this is the Scorpions.
Might as well be Soft Cell.
Give me a job, the one I haven'tgot.
(15:51):
Don't write me off at any time.
Don't ever leave me unsatisfied.
I don't wanna come in second, Ijust wanna come in second.
I just wanna come.
Don't wanna be that last light,don't wanna be just left behind
(16:15):
.
And in the evening, when I comehome, it's time to throw my
dark above.
That's when I wear my shirtthat says it's everything.
It's everything.
Isn't it fun, fun, fun To be nomore?
(16:37):
He's got no job, got no blow,got no money.
Isn't it fun, fun, fun To be nomore?
Can't be that bad all the waythrough.
Let's go to another track.
How about Obsession?
Let's see, you've got to bekidding me.
Don't think of you.
(16:58):
At least that's what I try todo.
Ladies and gentlemen, grab thatpuke bucket for this brand new
one from the Scorpions.
Put your hands in the air andwave them back and forth.
Put your hands in the air andwave them back and forth, please
(17:27):
don't.
Oh, what beautiful harmoniesScorpions.
How about Ten Light Years Away?
Oh, what beautiful harmonies,scorpions.
How about 10 light years away?
How horrible is this.
I'm sorry.
I don't own the rights to this,and who am I to criticize?
Well, like any, other personLord.
(18:10):
Come on, man, you across theriver.
Oh, come on man, mine.
Like a tree.
Uh-oh, this could be good.
Okay, is this the actualscorpions?
Hold on, wait a minute.
Now that has a little more likethe old scorp sound to it right
(18:31):
there, a little more like theold Scorp sound to it right
there.
Ugh, no, we don't see eye toeye here's eye to eye.
(18:53):
The title track.
That's peeps 323.
Hope you're having a greatWednesday.
You may have been until Iplayed now, see, if you heard
this.
If I heard this just on theradio and I didn't know it was
the Scorpions like right here,I'd be okay, I didn't know what
it was, I'd be like okay, Ididn't know what it was, I'd be
(19:18):
like, okay, what is now?
This is kind of a differentgroove and then it's done, it is
over.
Sorry, anyhow, I don't mean torip them apart.
I'm sure some people like thatand maybe out of context, in a
(19:40):
different I should say in adifferent context.
But I'll play this one for youand see if you can guess who
this is.
This is the 13th studio album bythis artist, very popular, has
a very distinct style of music,except for here.
This was released January 10th1983.
(20:05):
During the Geffen era of the80s, this album baffled many
fans, including yours truly,when it was released.
It features the SennheiserVokoder or VSM-201, on six of
(20:28):
the nine tracks on this record.
So here's the background onthis record.
So here's the background.
In 82, this artist leavesReprise Records, which was his
record label since his debut in68.
He signs with Geffen, a labelvery popular, founded by David
Geffen, and he had worked withthis artist as a manager when he
(20:52):
was part of a different bandanother very popular band but
then this artist as a managerwhen he was part of a different
band another very popular bandbut then this artist's contract
guaranteed him a million dollarsper album as well as total
creative control over his output.
So from late 80s to mid-82, hespends much of his working hours
carrying out a therapy programfor his young son, ben, who was
(21:16):
born with cerebral palsy he wasunable to speak.
The album was influenced by theelectronic experiments of the
German band Kraftwerk, who Ihave much respect for.
Now, you may or may not likeKraftwerk, but I think they're
in the Rock and Roll Hall ofFame and they should be If you
(21:36):
want to talk about influence,the fact that they influenced.
This artist, though really kindof tripped me out because his
work is nothing like Kraftwerk.
But if you look at Devo, I meanthere's just so many.
I didn't want to go down theroad.
Kraftwerk, maybe we'll talkabout them sometime.
Extremely influential, just somany.
I didn't want to go down theroad.
Kraftwerk, maybe we'll talkabout them sometime.
(21:57):
Extremely influential on somany the Cars and Devo and
Blondie, the list goes on.
Anyhow, more importantly forthis artist, he felt that
distorting his voice reflectedhis attempts to communicate with
his son.
I'm going to play this for youbefore I tell you who it is, and
you see if you know who this is.
(22:20):
Sample call hair, heart, eyes.
(22:44):
Wait, what, what, oh?
Disposition.
(23:32):
It is very, very Kraftwerk-likeby Croftwood.
Any idea who that is?
I'll play another one for youhere.
I don't own the rights to it.
I always have to say that.
Alright, I'm going to give youanother song off of this one.
(23:56):
This is called we Are InControl.
Here we go, then I'll tell youwho it is.
Maybe you'll guess by this one,maybe this will give it away,
maybe not.
(24:16):
This is an album called transby neil young Kranz, by Neil
(24:45):
Young.
So I think this is an album.
If you put it on, for mostpeople they would have no idea
that this was Neil Young,something very unexpected.
Now, whether or not this isn'tto me, as bad as the previous
record it's not the one that Iwould listen to, really, but
(25:09):
it's not as bad as the Scorpionsit's just way different.
You want to go to bad?
No, you don't.
No, we don't want to go downthis road, but we are going to.
You're on Pat's Peeps 323.
(25:31):
Happy Wednesday Support localtwo-for-one dinners, rockets
Little Diner.
Come on now.
Come on Now.
You get two, two renownedartists in one that suck
together.
You would think, man, youcombine forces, you can't lose.
You got two greats.
(25:52):
Can't lose.
Well, yes, you can.
If you go back to October,halloween of 2011,.
What a perfect day to releasethis god-awful at least in my
opinion record by two greatartists in one.
Like sir, it's two, two, twoartists in one With a drop of
(26:13):
Retsin in it.
Like sir, it's two, two, twoartists in one, with a drop of
Retsin in him.
It's a collaborative effort.
Studio album betweensinger-songwriter and heavy
metal band.
You know where I'm going withthis.
Released on Warner Brothers,vertigo Records, elsewhere
Warner in the US.
It's the final full-lengthstudio album recording project
(26:40):
that the singer-songwriter wasinvolved in before he passed two
years later in October of 2013.
It was recorded in San Rafael,california, in April of 2011,
april to June and this is afterthe artists played together at
(27:00):
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's25th anniversary concert that
led them to wanting tocollaborate Big mistake.
This double album is based onLulu plays by a German
playwright, frank Wittekind, and, by the way, you have, you have
(27:24):
, it's Lou Reed with Metallica.
Metallica is the band, lou Reedis the spoken word, like he did
in some of his songs leadsinger guy.
It is really, really awful, atleast in my opinion.
Okay, a lot of interestingartists on this, but here you go
(27:47):
, just to give you an idea Lulu,lou Reed, who I really like Lou
Reed, I like Lou Reed.
Metallica I like Metallica.
Here we go.
Here is a song when they gettogether.
Please enjoy this one.
It's called Pumping Blood.
(28:07):
Just one example from thishorrible mistake called Lulu Wow
(28:30):
, metallica kicks in.
This could be good.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
This could be good, let's mix them together.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
See what happens Pumpkin blood, pumpkin blood.
Pumpkin blood.
Pumpkin blood, pumpkin blood,pumpkin blood.
Pumpkin blood, pumpkin blood.
Ha yeah, pumpkin blood in thesunshine.
Mom, can you turn that upplease?
Yes, dear, on the wheel that isblasted and busted away.
Mom, can you turn that upplease?
Yes, dear Uh-huh Honey, youdidn't bring that pumping blood
track.
I sure did, dear.
(29:27):
Can you plug that in?
Oh God, awful.
Are you enjoying this?
Maybe some of you are Jack, jack, I'm going to beat you.
I call out your name.
God, I'm getting a headache.
(29:49):
But now let's go for the twofor one.
On the two for one.
Well, yeah, but Metallica ontheir own and Lou Reed on their
own obviously, great.
Let's go to a couple of thoseareas, shall we?
How about Metallica's Kill EmAll album?
(30:11):
Eddie Trunk was talking aboutthis on his heavy metal show on
Trunk Nation on SiriusXMrecently and he was talking
about how bad this album wasrecorded.
What a low-quality recordingthat many people cannot listen
to it, even if you're aMetallica fan.
Some people's like yeah, somepeople are like, yeah, I can't
listen to that.
So I thought you know what.
(30:32):
I got a little trip drivinghome here.
It took me about a half hour.
Let me put this sucker on seewhat I think of this.
I've never listened to this.
You know, when I listen to LouReed or Metallica, I listen to
them about the same amount, Idon't know.
Sometimes they both get a bitrepetitive to me.
Just being honest, I like theirmusic in small doses.
(30:53):
Bit repetitive to me, justbeing honest, I like their music
in small doses, both of theseartists.
So I put in Kill Em All and Ilistened to him.
Sorry, eddie Trunk, but I puthim on pause and listened to the
rest of his show.
After this, I'm going to tellyou I could not listen to this
for more than five minutes and Iwas switching tracks trying to
see if I could find no.
(31:13):
It has been panned by fans andcritics alike.
It was characterized as raw,muddy, a very shrill sound
compared to their later stuffwhen it was more polished.
They had a limited budget, theyhad a limited recording time,
but the band was unhappy withthe result you got.
You know, you put this throughthe speakers, you're in the
(31:34):
studio like what on earth, andthen you release this.
There's no bass, there's zerobass Bass solo.
Take one, this is just a basssolo.
So right away, pat, you justsaid there's no bass.
(31:56):
Now how long are you going tolisten to that?
Right, this is 4 minutes and 15seconds long.
Okay, here we go.
(32:17):
Where is that bass?
Even the bass had no bass andthe drums are too loud and the
(32:39):
guy playing in the Hatfield isin the background sitting like
he's in another room.
Anyhow, anyhow, but let's goback to Lou Reed.
(33:03):
This has got to be considered,without a doubt, and thank you
for listening to bad music hereon Pat's Peeps 323.
I think Greg said that I playedsome music one time that it was
giving him a headache.
I don't know.
Listen, I'm into this.
I'm into finding stuff that isweird and horrible and odd and I
(33:25):
just am fascinated by it.
I honestly am Now.
Would I sit and listen to it?
No, would I torment you with it?
Yes, no, I'm listening to ittoo.
All right, I just get.
I just like the.
I just find it interesting,that's all.
But as you go back to Lou Reed,this has got to be one of the
worst ever.
It's called Metal Machine Music,fifth studio album by Reed,
(33:51):
double album nonetheless, julyof 75 on RCA Records.
It was taken off the marketthree weeks later.
It features no songs.
What no songs?
Well, it has to be some kind ofa.
You know some, you know somekind of a.
(34:11):
It has to have tunes, right?
Well, oh, it does.
Well, it has no recognizablystructured compositions
whatsoever.
Melody, melody.
And, by the way, who needs arhythm here?
Thank you, no rhythm, you don'tneed a rhythm.
Yes, now, you don't need thathere on Metal Machine Music.
(34:36):
All you need is modulatedfeedback.
By the way.
Just our luck, this wasreleased on Quadraphonic.
So you have two albums of thismetal machine music by lou reed,
and you get it on quadraphonic.
Here's another little side noteto this.
(34:57):

record shelf.
Thank God you're saying toyourself get to something else.
By the way, I'm trying so hardto avoid politics and not have a
meltdown this week while I'm onvacation.
Keep my blood pressure undercontrol.
This is a cool record.
I remember this one very well,scepter Records, and there's no
stickers or anything, but thereis a radio.
(37:50):
Someone took like a somethinglike a stamp and stamped it and
it says September 1974.
I don't see the date other thanSep 1974.
One side is mono, the otherside is stereo.
Also has this really coolthrowback like roadshow cartoon
little thing on there on thelabel.
(38:10):
So this song I remember beingon the radio all the time.
I do play this actuallyoccasionally on my radio show.
By the way, pat Walsh, host ofthe Pat Walsh Show, as heard on

the older sound.
You've got the pre-disco andthen maybe it has that feeling
of maybe the beginnings of, youknow, disco.

stubborn to admit that he can'thear 80% of what's going on.
What did the doctor say aboutyour blood pressure?
Yes, he treats every vacationlike a military operation and
(07:13):
the fanny pack is his weapon ofchoice.

He still leaves voicemails andthey always end with his full
name and number.
Dad, you don't have to say yourname and number in every
voicemail.
I know it's you.
He doesn't believe in therapy.
Why pay all that money when youcan take out your repressed
(07:50):
emotions for free on waitstaff?
What is this crap playing?
Can't you put on somethingnormal like the Eagles?
He has a glass cabinet full offigurines he's irrationally
proud of.
He still calls it the Googleand the YouTube.
Hey, honey, what's that videowebsite you were talking about
(08:11):
again?
Was it the YouTubes?
He believes everything he readsin the paper and nothing his
wife tells him.
He thinks text messages shouldbe signed like letters.
Yours truly, mike Hunt.
The quieter the room, thelouder he talks.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
No, this isn't a bad time at all.
Yeah, we just got back fromFlorida time.

He still gets lost.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
You're the one who told me to take that exit.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I never said that.
If you had your hearing aid in,you would have heard me say
don't take that exit.
It's always about that damnhearing aid with you.
Nothing gets him going like agood email chain titled FWFWFW
Hilarious.
He watches the news every nightjust to confirm that
everything's falling apart.
You know, marge, everything'sgoing to crap, same as yesterday

(09:48):
Thank you.
I was watching this other guyon YouTube.
Who is this guy?
You know what?
I still have it up on my TV.
Let's watch this.
This is Sea of Tranquility,whatever that is, but I respect
this guy who's hosting it Histake on music, at least on this.
(10:11):
I'd never seen him before.
Let me see if I can find hisname, but anyhow, I was just
watching.
This came across randomly as Ilet's hear his name again
together.
Maybe he'll say his name hereso we can all hear it.
Hold on, here we go.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Greetings everyone.
T Paro here from CU,Tranquility Welcome to another
edition of Ranked UV Albums.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Today, by popular demand, we're going to look at
my favorite studio albums fromScorpions.
Okay, so you know, okay,Scorpions.
So I'm sitting there, you know,I'm watering the lawn, I'm
doing some things around thehouse, you know, and I'm going
to run a couple of errands and Isee this guy's channel pop up
(10:55):
and I said, okay, I'll see whatyour favorite Scorpions.
I was a fan of the ScorpionsNot everything, but I've seen
them a number of times and Ilike most of their music but I
was waiting to see if he wouldinclude this record and which
then got me to thinking abouttoday's podcast, which is today.
(11:19):
This will be albums by bandsand, in this case, rock bands.
I'm a rock guy, you know whatam I gonna say, but I but I'm
all over the map with music.
Today's rock there's also.
I love soul and funk and all ofthat, but rock bands are rock
artists who released completelygarbage, crap albums like you're
(11:44):
, like what?
No way, there's, no way.
That's who this is, you must bekidding, and and what so, in
talking about the scorpions, Ihaven't.
He has mentioned it as one ofthe considered to be one of the
worst.
No, not one of the worst.
(12:05):
There was another one calledFace the Heat, which is also
horrible, but it's not as bad asthis one, and I remember in the
it must have been like theearly 90s I walked into it was
actually 90,.
(12:26):
No, I think it might have beenthe late 90s, actually 99, let
me look it up, let me see herewhat it was 99, yep, exactly,
that's right, because I wasthinking of another one by
Prince.
I'm not even going to get intothat, but I forgot about that
one until just now, but anyhow.
So this came out in 99.
(12:46):
And I'm in Tower Records overon Florin Road that one never
gets talked about the FlorinRoad location and I, you know,
at the end of the counter or theend of the you know the aisle.
(13:07):
I should say you could pick upheadphones and listen to new
albums that had just come out,and I would do that a lot.
I'd pass the time by listeningto music.
I'm always one to absorb, getto know new music.
Whoever said, oh, you've quitdiscovering new music after the
age of 30, which we talked aboutbefore?
I disagree, at least in my case.
So I see Scorpions have got anew CD.
(13:30):
Put the earphones on theheadphones, excuse me, and I put
this thing on, and I hit thebutton and this pops up.
So this is an album from theScorpions, a beloved rock band,
german rock band.
It's their 14th studio album Ina radical departure.
(13:55):
With this album Eye to Eye Verypop oriented.
Their other stuff was not.
I mean it may have had somecommercial appeal because some
of it black out.
There were some songs they gotplayed on the radio the zoo, I
love that one.
I love the album, love drive.
(14:18):
Just to throw that in there inthe mix.
But this is not like that, noneof those.
It alienated a lot of fans.
I could not believe this.
There was a song on therecalled mysterious, which was
okay, it was not bad.
It actually went to number 26on the billboard hot mainstream
(14:41):
rock tracks chart.
It was the first Scorps albumto feature James Coddick on
drums, final Scorpion studioalbum to feature Ralph
Reicherman on the bass.
And it's also the only timewhere the Scorpions recorded a
record or, excuse me, a songwhich was mostly in the German
(15:05):
language, which, if I say thename it's called you Are so
Dirty, du bist so schmutzig Idon't know if I got that right,
but anyhow, you get the point.
So I thought I would play someof this for you Now.
If you know the Scorpions, youknow Blackout, you know some of
their big songs.
Here's a song off that record,called To Be Number One, on
(15:30):
Pat's Peeps 323.
Yes, this is the Scorpions.
Might as well be Soft Cell.
Give me a job, the one I haven'tgot.
(15:51):
Don't write me off at any time.
Don't ever leave me unsatisfied.
I don't wanna come in second, Ijust wanna come in second.
I just wanna come.
Don't wanna be that last light,don't wanna be just left behind
(16:15):
.
And in the evening, when I comehome, it's time to throw my
dark above.
That's when I wear my shirtthat says it's everything.
It's everything.
Isn't it fun, fun, fun To be nomore?
(16:37):
He's got no job, got no blow,got no money.
Isn't it fun, fun, fun To be nomore?
Can't be that bad all the waythrough.
Let's go to another track.
How about Obsession?
Let's see, you've got to bekidding me.
Don't think of you.
(16:58):
At least that's what I try todo.
Ladies and gentlemen, grab thatpuke bucket for this brand new
one from the Scorpions.
Put your hands in the air andwave them back and forth.
Put your hands in the air andwave them back and forth, please
(17:27):
don't.
Oh, what beautiful harmoniesScorpions.
How about Ten Light Years Away?
Oh, what beautiful harmonies,scorpions.
How about 10 light years away?
How horrible is this.
I'm sorry.
I don't own the rights to this,and who am I to criticize?
Well, like any, other personLord.
(18:10):
Come on, man, you across theriver.
Oh, come on man, mine.
Like a tree.
Uh-oh, this could be good.
Okay, is this the actualscorpions?
Hold on, wait a minute.
Now that has a little more likethe old scorp sound to it right
(18:31):
there, a little more like theold Scorp sound to it right
there.
Ugh, no, we don't see eye toeye here's eye to eye.
(18:53):
The title track.
That's peeps 323.
Hope you're having a greatWednesday.
You may have been until Iplayed now, see, if you heard
this.
If I heard this just on theradio and I didn't know it was
the Scorpions like right here,I'd be okay, I didn't know what
it was, I'd be like okay, Ididn't know what it was, I'd be
(19:18):
like, okay, what is now?
This is kind of a differentgroove and then it's done, it is
over.
Sorry, anyhow, I don't mean torip them apart.
I'm sure some people like thatand maybe out of context, in a
(19:40):
different I should say in adifferent context.
But I'll play this one for youand see if you can guess who
this is.
This is the 13th studio album bythis artist, very popular, has
a very distinct style of music,except for here.
This was released January 10th1983.
(20:05):
During the Geffen era of the80s, this album baffled many
fans, including yours truly,when it was released.
It features the SennheiserVokoder or VSM-201, on six of
(20:28):
the nine tracks on this record.
So here's the background onthis record.
So here's the background.
In 82, this artist leavesReprise Records, which was his
record label since his debut in68.
He signs with Geffen, a labelvery popular, founded by David
Geffen, and he had worked withthis artist as a manager when he
(20:52):
was part of a different bandanother very popular band but
then this artist as a managerwhen he was part of a different
band another very popular bandbut then this artist's contract
guaranteed him a million dollarsper album as well as total
creative control over his output.
So from late 80s to mid-82, hespends much of his working hours
carrying out a therapy programfor his young son, ben, who was
(21:16):
born with cerebral palsy he wasunable to speak.
The album was influenced by theelectronic experiments of the
German band Kraftwerk, who Ihave much respect for.
Now, you may or may not likeKraftwerk, but I think they're
in the Rock and Roll Hall ofFame and they should be If you
(21:36):
want to talk about influence,the fact that they influenced.
This artist, though really kindof tripped me out because his
work is nothing like Kraftwerk.
But if you look at Devo, I meanthere's just so many.
I didn't want to go down theroad.
Kraftwerk, maybe we'll talkabout them sometime.
Extremely influential, just somany.
I didn't want to go down theroad.
Kraftwerk, maybe we'll talkabout them sometime.
(21:57):
Extremely influential on somany the Cars and Devo and
Blondie, the list goes on.
Anyhow, more importantly forthis artist, he felt that
distorting his voice reflectedhis attempts to communicate with
his son.
I'm going to play this for youbefore I tell you who it is, and
you see if you know who this is.
(22:20):
Sample call hair, heart, eyes.
(22:44):
Wait, what, what, oh?
Disposition.
(23:32):
It is very, very Kraftwerk-likeby Croftwood.
Any idea who that is?
I'll play another one for youhere.
I don't own the rights to it.
I always have to say that.
Alright, I'm going to give youanother song off of this one.
(23:56):
This is called we Are InControl.
Here we go, then I'll tell youwho it is.
Maybe you'll guess by this one,maybe this will give it away,
maybe not.
(24:16):
This is an album called transby neil young Kranz, by Neil
(24:45):
Young.
So I think this is an album.
If you put it on, for mostpeople they would have no idea
that this was Neil Young,something very unexpected.
Now, whether or not this isn'tto me, as bad as the previous
record it's not the one that Iwould listen to, really, but
(25:09):
it's not as bad as the Scorpionsit's just way different.
You want to go to bad?
No, you don't.
No, we don't want to go downthis road, but we are going to.
You're on Pat's Peeps 323.
(25:31):
Happy Wednesday Support localtwo-for-one dinners, rockets
Little Diner.
Come on now.
Come on Now.
You get two, two renownedartists in one that suck
together.
You would think, man, youcombine forces, you can't lose.
You got two greats.
(25:52):
Can't lose.
Well, yes, you can.
If you go back to October,halloween of 2011,.
What a perfect day to releasethis god-awful at least in my
opinion record by two greatartists in one.
Like sir, it's two, two, twoartists in one With a drop of
(26:13):
Retsin in it.
Like sir, it's two, two, twoartists in one, with a drop of
Retsin in him.
It's a collaborative effort.
Studio album betweensinger-songwriter and heavy
metal band.
You know where I'm going withthis.
Released on Warner Brothers,vertigo Records, elsewhere
Warner in the US.
It's the final full-lengthstudio album recording project
(26:40):
that the singer-songwriter wasinvolved in before he passed two
years later in October of 2013.
It was recorded in San Rafael,california, in April of 2011,
april to June and this is afterthe artists played together at
(27:00):
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's25th anniversary concert that
led them to wanting tocollaborate Big mistake.
This double album is based onLulu plays by a German
playwright, frank Wittekind, and, by the way, you have, you have
(27:24):
, it's Lou Reed with Metallica.
Metallica is the band, lou Reedis the spoken word, like he did
in some of his songs leadsinger guy.
It is really, really awful, atleast in my opinion.
Okay, a lot of interestingartists on this, but here you go
(27:47):
, just to give you an idea Lulu,lou Reed, who I really like Lou
Reed, I like Lou Reed.
Metallica I like Metallica.
Here we go.
Here is a song when they gettogether.
Please enjoy this one.
It's called Pumping Blood.
(28:07):
Just one example from thishorrible mistake called Lulu Wow
(28:30):
, metallica kicks in.
This could be good.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
This could be good, let's mix them together.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
See what happens Pumpkin blood, pumpkin blood.
Pumpkin blood.
Pumpkin blood, pumpkin blood,pumpkin blood.
Pumpkin blood, pumpkin blood.
Ha yeah, pumpkin blood in thesunshine.
Mom, can you turn that upplease?
Yes, dear, on the wheel that isblasted and busted away.
Mom, can you turn that upplease?
Yes, dear Uh-huh Honey, youdidn't bring that pumping blood
track.
I sure did, dear.
(29:27):
Can you plug that in?
Oh God, awful.
Are you enjoying this?
Maybe some of you are Jack, jack, I'm going to beat you.
I call out your name.
God, I'm getting a headache.
(29:49):
But now let's go for the twofor one.
On the two for one.
Well, yeah, but Metallica ontheir own and Lou Reed on their
own obviously, great.
Let's go to a couple of thoseareas, shall we?
How about Metallica's Kill EmAll album?
(30:11):
Eddie Trunk was talking aboutthis on his heavy metal show on
Trunk Nation on SiriusXMrecently and he was talking
about how bad this album wasrecorded.
What a low-quality recordingthat many people cannot listen
to it, even if you're aMetallica fan.
Some people's like yeah, somepeople are like, yeah, I can't
listen to that.
So I thought you know what.
(30:32):
I got a little trip drivinghome here.
It took me about a half hour.
Let me put this sucker on seewhat I think of this.
I've never listened to this.
You know, when I listen to LouReed or Metallica, I listen to
them about the same amount, Idon't know.
Sometimes they both get a bitrepetitive to me.
Just being honest, I like theirmusic in small doses.
(30:53):
Bit repetitive to me, justbeing honest, I like their music
in small doses, both of theseartists.
So I put in Kill Em All and Ilistened to him.
Sorry, eddie Trunk, but I puthim on pause and listened to the
rest of his show.
After this, I'm going to tellyou I could not listen to this
for more than five minutes and Iwas switching tracks trying to
see if I could find no.
(31:13):
It has been panned by fans andcritics alike.
It was characterized as raw,muddy, a very shrill sound
compared to their later stuffwhen it was more polished.
They had a limited budget, theyhad a limited recording time,
but the band was unhappy withthe result you got.
You know, you put this throughthe speakers, you're in the
(31:34):
studio like what on earth, andthen you release this.
There's no bass, there's zerobass Bass solo.
Take one, this is just a basssolo.
So right away, pat, you justsaid there's no bass.
(31:56):
Now how long are you going tolisten to that?
Right, this is 4 minutes and 15seconds long.
Okay, here we go.
(32:17):
Where is that bass?
Even the bass had no bass andthe drums are too loud and the
(32:39):
guy playing in the Hatfield isin the background sitting like
he's in another room.
Anyhow, anyhow, but let's goback to Lou Reed.
(33:03):
This has got to be considered,without a doubt, and thank you
for listening to bad music hereon Pat's Peeps 323.
I think Greg said that I playedsome music one time that it was
giving him a headache.
I don't know.
Listen, I'm into this.
I'm into finding stuff that isweird and horrible and odd and I
(33:25):
just am fascinated by it.
I honestly am Now.
Would I sit and listen to it?
No, would I torment you with it?
Yes, no, I'm listening to ittoo.
All right, I just get.
I just like the.
I just find it interesting,that's all.
But as you go back to Lou Reed,this has got to be one of the
worst ever.
It's called Metal Machine Music,fifth studio album by Reed,
(33:51):
double album nonetheless, julyof 75 on RCA Records.
It was taken off the marketthree weeks later.
It features no songs.
What no songs?
Well, it has to be some kind ofa.
You know some, you know somekind of a.
(34:11):
It has to have tunes, right?
Well, oh, it does.
Well, it has no recognizablystructured compositions
whatsoever.
Melody, melody.
And, by the way, who needs arhythm here?
Thank you, no rhythm, you don'tneed a rhythm.
Yes, now, you don't need thathere on Metal Machine Music.
(34:36):
All you need is modulatedfeedback.
By the way.
Just our luck, this wasreleased on Quadraphonic.
So you have two albums of thismetal machine music by lou reed,
and you get it on quadraphonic.
Here's another little side noteto this.
(34:57):
This album cost lou reed hisreputation in the music industry
.
It has generally been panned by.
Well, everyone, everyone,please enjoy Metal Machine Music
, lou Reed, 1975.
(35:33):
You know, not only would thissong give you a headache, but it
should actually be calledHeadache.
See, I can't hang with this.
I mean this is, oh God, I justhad a demented bod.
I wouldn't dare.
That is the Yoko Ono ofwhatever that is.
(35:57):
It's not music, something thatcalls itself music.
Pat, whatever you do, whateveryou do, please do not play yoga
with that, because that would betoo much to handle.
(36:17):
You're right, it would.
You're right, it actually wouldbe too much to handle, which is
exactly why I'm going to do it.
All right, here we go.
Here we got Metal Machine Music.
Let's get this going, and thenYoko, we'll mix Yoko in with
Metal Machine Music and we'llcome up with our own incredible
(36:42):
artistic song here.
This should hit the charts.
Here we go, here we go.
Here we go.
Hold on to your seat.
Tell me, that doesn't work.
Are you getting a headache?
(37:05):
Are you getting?
Speaker 2 (37:05):
a headache.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Are you getting a headache?
Happy Wednesday.
You're welcome, by the way,you're welcome.
You know I think I'd ratherhear the metal machine music
than Yoko.
Now that I'm thinking about it,pulled this record off my
(37:29):
record shelf.
Thank God you're saying toyourself get to something else.
By the way, I'm trying so hardto avoid politics and not have a
meltdown this week while I'm onvacation.
Keep my blood pressure undercontrol.
This is a cool record.
I remember this one very well,scepter Records, and there's no
stickers or anything, but thereis a radio.
(37:50):
Someone took like a somethinglike a stamp and stamped it and
it says September 1974.
I don't see the date other thanSep 1974.
One side is mono, the otherside is stereo.
Also has this really coolthrowback like roadshow cartoon
little thing on there on thelabel.
(38:10):
So this song I remember beingon the radio all the time.
I do play this actuallyoccasionally on my radio show.
By the way, pat Walsh, host ofthe Pat Walsh Show, as heard on
KFPK Radio in Sacramento, 93.1FM and 1530 AM Production
handled by Jeff Lane and TreyMartin, peaked at number five.
(38:32):
This album did.
This album did on Billboard 200.

Spawned four singles.
One, that was that's what Iwant for you, baby.
(38:52):
Another one was do you like it?
Another one was once you get it.
And then this one, which is theone that I remember the most.
So let's just get right to it.
Let's put on the stereo sidehere BT Express.
Do it till you're satisfied.
Pat's Peeps 323.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Do it do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do
it, do it, do it, do it, do it,do it, do it, do it, do it, do
it, do it, do it, do it, do it,do it, do it, do it, do it, do
it, do it, do it, do it, do it,do it do it.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
See, I still think it has a little bit of that sound,
the older sound.
You've got the pre-disco andthen maybe it has that feeling
of maybe the beginnings of, youknow, disco.
Maybe I think I've accomplishedthat, I've done it until I'm
(40:26):
satisfied today.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
That's right, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yes, Thank you for listening Pat's Peeps 323.
