Casey caseum my god.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
And yeah, he's doing our introduction.

Speaker 6 (01:13):
Yeah when you were when you were listening to him
years and years ago, you probably could never imagine that
you have a show. And then he would do the
intro for that show.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
I know, and you have to hear it every week,
and it's good. If I got to hear something every
single week, I'm glad it's that. Yeah, yeah it is.
And you know, I gotta give props to city, your
brother they love. I could have said anything, but you
know what, I want to be proud of Philadelphia because
we have so much to be proud of right here.
Oh yeah, super Bowl champions reigning. Got to hold on
to the title this year. I don't know, we'll see.

Speaker 6 (01:43):

good shot. Good shot is anybody I.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
Was gonna say, probably better?

Speaker 4 (01:48):
So yeah, And you know, we were trying to think
of all the great things that come from Philly.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
Of course, cheese steaks, you gotta say that. Yeah, you know,
pork roll and scrap pretzels, soft pretzel water ice. Yeah,
that's another one. And you know, I.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Think something happened here historically, maybe once upon a time,
but who knows about that del.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
Something something something, But you know what depends.

Speaker 7 (02:11):
I think think that happened.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Individuality, like the birthplace of the country.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
I think, you know, something like that.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
Something on.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
But we do know cheeseteaks though, Screw that, Let's just
talk about the cheese steaks. Yeah, and bad drivers, bad
drivers on the schoogle.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
That's all I know.

Speaker 6 (02:27):
I always thought, yeah, maybe it's just this area, but
being in a lot of different areas, it's everywhere.

Speaker 7 (02:33):
It is.

Speaker 6 (02:33):
People can't drive no matter what country you are.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
So cheese steaks. Gotta say, who do you like? Who's
your favorite?

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (02:41):
My favorite is Mama's Pizzeria, which is actually down the
road from the station on Belmont Avenue. Balakn.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
You're giving your shout outs here.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
Oh yeah. Unfortunately, I think they're only going to be
open for like the next year.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Why what happened?

Speaker 6 (02:54):
They're going to retire. I read an article a little
while back that I think when their son graduates college,
they're going to retire, and I thought that was this year,
but I just found out, Oh that's next year.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
So got a stock up in the next year. You
better get a bunch of coolers.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
And I don't overdo it. You're gonna have to, yeah,
probably will have to. But I it's like I treat
myself like I don't go there a lot because I
don't want to get tired of it.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah, but but now you have to because you never
tired in a year from it and you'll be like, damn,
I wish I got tired of it.

Speaker 6 (03:25):
Yeah, but yeah, I would say that that's probably my
favorite of that what I've had.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
We'll hear that on everybody check it out, and maybe
if you just bombard them with business, they won't close.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
Do you ever think that will be so popular? They'll
be like, what are we doing? This is crazy?

Speaker 2 (03:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
We can't let Matt down.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Who's Matt? Oh?

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Well know now?

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Oh yeah, there you go, I'm Belmont, there you go,
there you go. Yes, Because you know why I bring
up Philly today because we're obviously proud Philly people. But
our guest today is also born and raised Proudladelphian South Philly.
South Philly, moved to North Philly. He's sort of seen
all of Philly, yes, and he.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
Is still proud.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
He's still claims that it is his home, even though
he's been all over the world and living in LA
and a huge rock and roll musician, He's still you know, Philly.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
Boy, That's how people are around here.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
They don't forget their roots never. So you know what,
I think We're gonna have to talk to him a
little bit about it.

Speaker 6 (04:20):
Yeah, let's just get to it all right.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Today on the Scene with Doreen, I sit down with
the true definition of a journey man. Vocalist and musician,
Singer John Carrabbi has earned a solid reputation as a
go to frontman and collaborator, Accepting an invitation to replace
Vince Neil in the platinum selling Motley Crue touring with
rat and a solid still career, John is now fronting
the musical collective supergroup The Dead Daisies, the powerhouse rock

(04:45):
band celebrated for their soulful, blues infused sound and dazzling performances.
Take a listen.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
Oh Yes, Boom Boom Boom.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Singer and musician John Carabi is back running supergroup The
Dead Daisies, with her new album Looking for Trouble recently
dropping and in European.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Tour on the Way.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
The Dead Daisies are certainly heating up the summer, and
I am thrilled to welcome the musical journeyman himself, Jean
Kara Hey, John, Welcome to.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
The scene with Doreen.

Speaker 7 (06:03):
Go Birds, Oh go Birds.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah, you know what I should say, Welcome home because
you are a Philly son through and through born and
raised here in the city of brotherly love, and.

Speaker 8 (06:13):
I do I'm going to make this statement publicly other
than Jackie Bambam on WMMR. You are my first first
interview on any sort of Philadelphia media.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
That is amazing.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
I'm glad I can be here first. But I got
to say that's that is a crime.

Speaker 7 (06:35):
That that is I have been.

Speaker 8 (06:36):
I have been in the business for almost forty years,
and I have never once done an interview with any
of the Philadelphia radio stations, TV anything.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Well, you say my first see, you had to wait.
The good things come to those who wait, and here
you are you see now.

Speaker 8 (06:55):
Yeah, and now that I know your high school nickname,
I am not going to forget about you ever.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Oh and my listeners, you're just gonna have to guess
on that one, because we're not gonna say that's my
little secret now with John and we're gonna we're gonna
keep that between us. We've bonded over here.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
Ahah.

Speaker 9 (07:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Well, let's get to this because now I'm a little
like blushed and I'm matching my shirt pretty soon here.
So you seem to share the similar backstory with many
of my musical guests. Your love of music started by,
of course, seeing the Beatles on TV.

Speaker 8 (07:27):
Yes, I grew up in well, I was born in
South Philadelphia and my family moved up to North Philly,
and I just remember as a kid seeing some sort
of I got into them a little late, so he
was probably eight or eight, nine years old, seventy whatever

(07:47):
in that ballpark and they did some sort of retrospect
on the old.

Speaker 7 (07:54):
Ed Sullivan show that.

Speaker 8 (07:57):
Used to be on I believe on Sunday, and.

Speaker 7 (08:01):
They kind of did a you know, their first Trip,
which I was.

Speaker 8 (08:04):
Too young to remember, uh there, but they did like
a few songs from their first trip, and they then
they played something like Hello, Goodbye.

Speaker 7 (08:14):
And that, you know from the middle of their career.

Speaker 10 (08:17):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (08:18):
Then they played Hey Jude.

Speaker 8 (08:21):
And then and it must have been around the time
the Beatles were splitting up, so maybe.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
I was a little older.

Speaker 8 (08:28):
So they did like this whole retrospect thing, and I
just remember seeing like this whole transformation with the band.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
But you know, there was the girl screaming.

Speaker 8 (08:37):
In the audience and and it just fascinated me.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Oh yeah, I can see how that could fascinate.

Speaker 8 (08:44):
You, which which at my age I don't really hear
very often anymore, but whatever.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
Anyway, so it was crazy.

Speaker 8 (08:53):
For some apparent reason, my parents opted to get me
two gifts, one chrismas.

Speaker 7 (09:01):
One was a microscope and the other was.

Speaker 8 (09:04):
A Sears silvertone acoustic guitar. And I think that the
I think the microscope is still in the box somewhere
in my parents' basement. But whatever, anyway, I went for
the guitar, and you know it just started taking lessons
and just became absolutely fascinated with music.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
Now, is it true that you learn how to play
guitar from a nun?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (09:31):
God, yes, sister Charles Bronson.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Really was it wasn't it a sister Clement? Was that
her name?

Speaker 7 (09:41):
I don't know it.

Speaker 8 (09:43):
But I used to go to a Catholic school in
North Philly called Incarnation of Our Lord Boy, and it was,
you know, you would go into the convent, uh you know,
it was after schools. You go in. You pay them, like,
I don't know, two dollars and fifty cents, which basically
I always used to tell my parents, like you get

(10:05):
what you pay for. So basically, basically it was like
a concentration camp for wanna be musicians because all she
did was smack my hand with the pointer and the
yardstick for you know. And and the funny thing is
she didn't even really play. She played piano. But like

(10:25):
I just remember, I had an old mel Bay book
which was like the instructional you know whatever book, and
it was.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
Like, Okay, see how the picture is. Look how he's
holding the pick. Look Kelly's holding the guitar.

Speaker 8 (10:38):
Look Kelly's sitting And so I had to like mimic
these pictures.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
And I was just miserable. And it was like, you.

Speaker 8 (10:46):
Know, I'm learning Michael row your boat asure, kumbayats.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yeah or something, yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 8 (10:55):
And it's like meanwhile, my friends across the street are
learning hey Jude, and you know, and I'm just sitting
there going this sucks, you know. So I, you know,
I couldn't quit school. It was only like nine, so
I had to. I just I just said, you know,
I put the guitar in the closet. And again, a
friend of mine across the street, she got a guitar

(11:17):
much later than I did, and I went over to
her house one day and she's sitting there playing like,
you know, Simon and Garfunkel songs, and she's playing the Beatles,
and I'm like, I got like jealous, and I'm like,
where are you going to do?

Speaker 7 (11:33):
Like how how did you learn to do this? Oh?

Speaker 8 (11:36):
I go to this other school in you know, up
the street on it used to be called Fifth Street,
you know.

Speaker 7 (11:44):
I well it still is, but it was a music store.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
Called Zapp's, okay, and she was taking lessons there. So
I went up and spoke to her her teacher, and
he just basically the first couple of lessons, he just
had me undo everything that the nun had taught me.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
And smart noah.

Speaker 7 (12:06):
Yeah, it was like how do you hold the pick?
And I go, well, you know, and I was holding
it like the mel Bay book and he goes, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 8 (12:14):
When you're at home and not in front of the nun,
how do you hold the pick?

Speaker 7 (12:19):
And how do you hold the guitar?

Speaker 8 (12:20):
So he just said just do what you do where
you're comfortable, and I just kind of did that and
then he was like, all right, how's that feel? And
I'm like, well, obviously comfortable, so you know, so he
just had me undo everything that she taught me, and
then you know, and then we started building from scratch.

Speaker 11 (12:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
Well it worked though.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Whatever that combination was, the nun the not none, it
worked for you because that became your fuel, that became
your love. And I know you had a tough start
in the beginning. I know you were going through your
parents' divorce. You mentioned a lot of this in your autobiography,
horseshoes and hand grenades, and you really you could have
let it rip you apart, but you didn't. You let
that fuel your passionate and maybe a better person.

Speaker 8 (13:04):
Yeah, you know, it's just I think, you know, it
wasn't easy at times, you know, but what is no,
you know, nothing nothing is easy, whether it's a relationship,
being in a band, being married, you know, getting up
and having to go to work, even if you're getting paid, well,

(13:26):
there's going to be days that are you're just.

Speaker 7 (13:28):
Like, oh my god, why did I do this?

Speaker 8 (13:31):
So, you know, it is what it is, you know,
And I've just you know, at first, I used to
think that it was like it was it was aggravating
that some of the things happened to me the way
that they did. I used to you know, I was
one of those class half empty people for a while.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
A lot of musicians are artistic, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (13:54):
Yeah, and it's weird.

Speaker 8 (13:56):
You have to just kind of sit there and retrain
your brain.

Speaker 7 (14:02):
You know.

Speaker 8 (14:02):
One of the things that I can say, and I'm
not blowing smoke up my own you know what, but
one of the things that most people say about me
is when they meet me, I'm just really approachable. Yeah yeah,
and I kind of feel like I always have been.

Speaker 7 (14:18):
But it was one of those things.

Speaker 8 (14:20):
Where I've always had like something really great happen and
then something really not so great would happen to almost
counterbalance it.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
So it just always kind of made me, I think,
even keeled.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (14:39):
So it really takes a special kind of person to
make me go into like anger mode. And I'm capable,
but it's just, you know, I just I just kind
of look at things differently.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
Than maybe most I don't know, and I.

Speaker 8 (14:58):
Have I have a lot of the the trials of
my you know, early days, you know, and we still.

Speaker 7 (15:06):
Have them, right, But I just kind of it just kind.

Speaker 8 (15:10):
Of makes me sit there and go, Okay, well, you know,
I could sit here and go, why don't I have
Steven Tyler's bank account or Vincenil for that matter.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
Yeah that one.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
Yeah, Yeah, you ever seeing Martha Stewart video. That video
I laugh all the time with where they put the
subtitles up for Vince. It's a very funny thing. For
people who haven't seen it, you have to go see
it on YouTube.

Speaker 8 (15:34):
It's funny and it's you know, I sit here sometimes
and I go, you know.

Speaker 7 (15:38):
What does a guy have to do?

Speaker 8 (15:40):
So I do still have my moments, But then I
catch myself and I go, you know what, I'm sixty
six years old. I've been doing this since I was
sixteen years old. You know, I still have a career.
I'm still making records with the Dead Daisies. I'm in
the process of doing a solo record. I still get

(16:02):
to travel all over the world and do shows, and
people are still interested in what I have to sing
about and say. And so my family's healthy, you know,
its life is good, you know what I mean. So,
you know, it just depends on how you look at it.
But I credit a lot of the not so nice

(16:24):
things when I was younger to like making me look
at things a certain way.

Speaker 7 (16:30):
Right.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
People don't realize that sometimes you have to go through
the dark to get to the light, or at least
understand or appreciate the light, because if you just everything
is great for you, you will never ever.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
Be able to appreciate when things really are really well.

Speaker 7 (16:43):
And it's really weird.

Speaker 8 (16:44):
I mean even in sports, Like I'm a huge football fan.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
Oh yeah, my producer man here, he can talk to
you all day about that one.

Speaker 7 (16:52):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 8 (16:53):
My wife actually kids with me, and she goes, You're
You're like, you're literally one step way from like being
like Dustin Hoffman and Rainman when it comes to football.

Speaker 5 (17:05):
Uh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (17:08):
So it's you know, but the thing that's funny is
like even them, uh you know, a lot of those guys,
I don't know, you you hear this phrase all the
time and you don't realize it, but it's like that
that that phrase that football player say, iron sharpens iron.
So it's like that that that hard work and them

(17:31):
on the sidelines throwing up in the heat of the
summer and la la lah, and it just makes them
that much tougher for the season, you know.

Speaker 7 (17:38):
What I mean.

Speaker 8 (17:39):
So I kind of feel like, I don't know, for
not to be weird, but I I just kind of
feel like a lot of those things that I did
go through, as traumatic as they were, when they were
happening have made me the person that I am.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Now, Yes, amen, I agree, I'm the same. I I'm
cut from the cloth that way. So I think anyone
who is successful has had to go through something in
their life that's sort of very lesson learning. We'll just
say that and yeah, yeah, So let's move on then,
because you've had this forty plus your career, so we

(18:15):
got to keep going because there's so much to touch on.
Around nineteen eighty six, you decided to uproot your life.
You moved to the West Coast from Philly with your
band Angora. Jeene Simmons mentored you and one of my
former guests on the show, Steve I, produced your demo
that Angora was definitely poised to ascend a rock stardom.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
So what happened?

Speaker 7 (18:36):
You know, Hollywood?

Speaker 5 (18:39):
Yeah, that's the answer for a lot of people.

Speaker 7 (18:42):
You know. I'm still friends with all of the guys.

Speaker 8 (18:44):
Like one of my buddies actually lives in Philadelphia. My
old guitar player, Jimmy, he lived in Philly. The other
two guys I think still live in California. But it
was just weird, you know, like they were much younger
than I was. And you know, they got out, they

(19:08):
got up in California and we all used to party
like that was the thing.

Speaker 7 (19:13):
Like they a lot of these promoters would say, oh,
you know, you got to sell.

Speaker 8 (19:17):
These tickets and then give me the money before you play.

Speaker 7 (19:20):
So you had that, you know, it was like a
pay to play thing.

Speaker 8 (19:25):
But a lot of the guys are like, listen, man,
if you want to build up following, you got to
have parties back to your apartment and you know, so
it was like it was about drinking and you know,
in some cases, you know, whatever drugs were available and like,
you know, and it just unfortunately for those guys. A
couple of the guys just got a little too carried

(19:47):
away with the Hollywood lifestyle and drugs in particular. And
the thing that annoyed me was like, for example, we
had a rehearsal room and.

Speaker 7 (20:00):
It was about.

Speaker 8 (20:03):
I think it was five hundred a month, and I
you know, sat there with everybody and I said, hey,
you know, is everybody cool? Can everybody afford one hundred
and twenty five dollars a month?

Speaker 7 (20:16):
We're all going to chip in for this place. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
And it was weird.

Speaker 8 (20:21):
Like, so most of the time it wound up being
the two guys that didn't have kids that were married.
I mean, the two guys that had kids and were
married were the ones that were covering for the other
two guys that weren't married and didn't have kids.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
But they always had weed.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
Oh yeah, they had their money. Their priorities are a
little different.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
Yeah, their priorities were a little different.

Speaker 8 (20:45):
And eventually I just said, you know what, man, I
did not uproot my wife, my kids, my dogs and
drive across country and an ambulance with a U haul
trailer to come out here and babysit a bunch of
like at the time, I was just like, you know,
a bunch of drug addicts.

Speaker 7 (21:04):
I came here to get a record deal.

Speaker 8 (21:06):
I want to be Steven Tyler, I want to be
Robert Plant, I want to.

Speaker 7 (21:10):
Be Alice Cooper.

Speaker 8 (21:12):
And so I just said, you know what, I'm done,
I'm done, and I quit. I just said, I'll see
you guys later, I'm out.

Speaker 7 (21:22):
And it was weird.

Speaker 8 (21:25):
My manager, who I'm still with since back in those days,
this gentleman named John Greenberg. He told me about a
couple guys from band called race X. They were looking
for a singer. I wound up hooking up with them,
and I don't think we were together eight months. We

(21:46):
didn't even do a show. We literally just sat in
this room and wrote music. And we wound up doing
a few showcases for some record labels, and we had
a couple of record deals offered to us just on
the strength of like four five songs that we had
written at that point. So, you know, it was, uh,

(22:07):
it sucked that I brought those guys. It was my
decision to come to California. They all kind of followed
me out there, but and I felt really bad about
leaving the band after they had moved, you know, three
thousand miles away from home.

Speaker 7 (22:26):
But at this point I just sat there.

Speaker 8 (22:27):
I'm like, I feel like I'm swimming with cinderblocks tied
to my ankles.

Speaker 7 (22:32):
So I'm like, I'm done. I'm out.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
No, you made the right choice. I mean, it would
have been licener blocks.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
And it's funny you mentioned Stephen Tyler choice and a
lot of fans compare your vocals to Steven Tyler. So
I heard you have a quite interesting story about meeting
him and singing with him.

Speaker 8 (22:49):
Yeah, it was weird when we were doing the Motley record. Well,
I got to back up, like I have truly been
like a mass of Aerosmith fan since forever. Like I
was the guy I'm gonna move because I'm I'm in
like one hundred degree weather right now.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Oh yeah, we don't want you to die on the show.
Who did not want this to be.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
Your first Silly one and your last Philly one.

Speaker 7 (23:17):
Yeah it was great.

Speaker 8 (23:18):
He did his first Philly interview and dropped it from
heat to heat broke. There you go.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
You finally got you know, see me. Okay though, yeah,
actually it's good. It's really good lighting.

Speaker 7 (23:27):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (23:28):
So I was the guy that was at the Spectrum,
you know, the night before when tickets were going to
go on sale.

Speaker 7 (23:37):
I sat.

Speaker 8 (23:38):
I sat at the Spectrum at five o'clock in the
morning and snowstorms, like just to get a ticket to
go see Aerosmith. You know.

Speaker 7 (23:49):
But so I was always a fan.

Speaker 8 (23:53):
And then when I was about I don't know, sixteen
years old, I got into an argument with my parents
and I just said, yeah, well f you guys, and
I literally bought a one way ticket up to Boston
and I was going to I was convinced I was
going to join Aerosmith as the second guitar player, and

(24:16):
I was going to get rid of that Whitford guy.
You know, Let get rid of that Brad Whitford guy,
and I'll be on the other side with Joe Perry.

Speaker 7 (24:24):
And I'm just gonna, you know. And so it was weird.

Speaker 8 (24:29):
We were doing the Mottley record nineteen ninety I guess three,
and we're at displays little Mountain Studios, and the guys
played a little bit of a joke on me and
didn't tell me who the band was that was in.
We were in Studio A, they were in Studio B,
and they were doing some touch ups and mixing what

(24:51):
became their Get a Grip record, and they let me
walk into the room first. I totally interrupted Joe Perry
and the middle of the guitar.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
Solo, which he was not happy about, and uh, you know,
and it.

Speaker 8 (25:07):
Was like the whole room went quiet, and Steven Tyler,
in his leopard print bangle bracelets, you know, just ran
across the room doing that sound that he's notorious for.
And he gave me, gave me a hug, lifted my
feet off of the ground and said you're the one
that's getting ready to be shot out of the cannon.

(25:28):
And I was completely dumbfounded, no idea what to say.

Speaker 7 (25:33):
About a week.

Speaker 8 (25:34):
Later, I'm sitting in the lounge I had been doing
trying to do a guitar track, and Bob didn't like
the Bob Rock didn't like the sounds whatever, so he
was adjusting the mics and I went into this lounge
area and I was sitting there by myself with an
acoustic guitar, and I start going through the back catalog

(25:55):
of stuff that I grew up playing, like Over the
Hills and Far Away by Zeppelin and Blackbird by the Beatles,
and then I just started playing this song called Seasons.

Speaker 7 (26:10):
Of Wither.

Speaker 8 (26:12):
From the second Aerosmith record, and right when the vocals
were supposed to start, I heard the voice and I
turned around and Steven's face was literally like two inches
from my and he goes, yeah, you're playing it wrong, brother,
and I was just like horrified, and he just jumped

(26:36):
over the couch. He told me the whole story of
how he wrote the song, why he wrote the song,
and then we sat and played it together. He taught
me this weird tuning that he came up with and
he showed me how to play you could play that
song the way he does it with one finger because
he's he's not a guitar player, and he wrote the

(26:58):
song and it's literally he played it with one finger,
and I'm like, oh my god, that's brilliant. But I
was so enamored with the whole situation I forgot the too.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
I was gonna say, you probably don't remember anything.

Speaker 8 (27:10):
Yeah, yeah, and it's like I still play it wrong,
so basically, but it was I was.

Speaker 7 (27:18):
Literally sitting there when he walked away.

Speaker 8 (27:20):
I literally just sat there for like days, pinching myself right,
and it was it was truly. That was one of
those things where I just sit there like he's been
still to this day, like I'll meet, you know, guys like, uh,
you know, I met the guys in Deep Purple.

Speaker 7 (27:41):
I met the guys in you know. I met David Coverdale.

Speaker 8 (27:44):
We did a tour together with him and the Dead Daisies,
White Snake Bears, bat and right and and and you're
just sitting there and you're you're having this moment where
it's like, you know, I'm sitting here talking to David
Coverdale and then like a minute later, you go, oh

(28:04):
my god, I'm sitting here talking to David Coverdale, like
the guy that I saw on Don Kirshner's rock concert
back in nineteen seventy four, you know, like at the
cow Jam, you know what I mean, Sam with Glenn Hugh's.

Speaker 7 (28:21):
I met Glen Hughes multiple.

Speaker 8 (28:22):
Times, and you know, so you just meet these people
and you're like, oh my god, dude, I literally bought
a ticket to see you at the Spectrum in Philadelphia
and now I'm sitting.

Speaker 7 (28:34):
Here having a cup of coffee with you. I have
your phone.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Number, right, you know what I mean.

Speaker 8 (28:40):
So it's a little because as much as I've done,
I'm still I'm still like a music geek, like a fan,
you know what I mean. I'm still a fan. I'm
still enamored with people. I still get annoyed when I
hear like some brilliant lyric that I should have thought.

Speaker 7 (28:59):
Of to that person, do you know what I mean? Yeah, oh, Jo,
you know what made them write that?

Speaker 8 (29:04):
And then it's like I want to know the history
of the songs or the artists or the album, and
you know, so I'm still a bit of a music.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
Geek that makes you good though, I mean that makes
you keep striving to be better because you want to
keep learning, you want to keep evolving as a musician.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
And that's why you keep reinventing.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
I mean, you did this, you moved all the way
out to you took a shot West Coast.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
Then you know you let that go.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Then of course you know we're going to talk very
briefly because you talked to it at nauseum about your
time with Motley Crue. I'm sure you talk that to
death on every interview platform. But yeah, you would replace
Vince Neil Motley Crue for what two years, and then
you turn the page again and now you're with this
amazing the Dead Daisies. I mean, it's just you keep
evolving and that's what I means.

Speaker 8 (29:48):
You no, And it's funny though, like the universe, And
this is going to sound really corny, but I've just
been one of those guys, like a lot of people
ask me it, you know in interviews like Manure, you
sure have been in a lot of different bands, But
I kind of look at each band that I've been

(30:11):
in as a hand of poker, like you get dealt cards.
The only thing you can do is.

Speaker 7 (30:22):
Work hard at your craft.

Speaker 8 (30:24):
But the one thing that a lot of people forget
is that there's a massive.

Speaker 7 (30:28):
Piece like luck is a huge part of.

Speaker 8 (30:32):
This thing that we live in, do you know what
I mean? And it's about being at the right place
at the right time. So, you know, I wish I
was still sitting here, And I don't mean that in
the glass half empty whatever, but I wish I was
still sitting here talking about the fifteenth or twentieth record

(30:54):
by the Screen or you know, the tenth record by
Motley Crue, you know. But it was like each band
that I was in, it's like I was dealt those cards.
I looked at the cards, I played them, and it
just didn't work out. So but I was I've been
fortunate to be always dealt another.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
Hand, yes exactly, you know what I mean exactly.

Speaker 8 (31:15):
And it was weird like and it's funny, like I
tell this to people all the time, like if you
work hard, believe in yourself, just keep doing what you're doing, the.

Speaker 7 (31:26):
Universe has a way of always giving you what you
need when you need it.

Speaker 8 (31:32):
And it was like in the most random times, like
there was times where I was like, oh my god, man,
I don't know if I'm going to be able to
pay my bills.

Speaker 7 (31:40):
This was after.

Speaker 12 (31:41):
Motley, you know, and all of a sudden, I'd be like,
oh my god, I need like I need like four
thousand dollars by like Friday to pay my bills.

Speaker 8 (31:53):
And then I would get a phone call from some
record label and they're like, hey, we're doing this Rod
Stewart tribute record. Could you maybe saying like Rod Stewart track,
We'll pay you ten grant?

Speaker 5 (32:06):
And I'm like yes, where and when?

Speaker 7 (32:10):
Yeah, where and when?

Speaker 8 (32:11):
And it's like, you know, and it was just I
just somehow keep you know, call.

Speaker 7 (32:17):
It whatever you want. You know, I call them blessings.

Speaker 8 (32:20):
You get these little blessings along the way, and it's
just like kind of keeps you afloat, and then you
stumble upon something like Motley Crue or you know, now
with the Dead Daisies, you know, we've been very, very
blessed to meet a gentleman like David Lowie who started
this band, and his story is just fascinating. But David,

(32:42):
you know, he's a very successful businessman that has always
been into guitar, writing songs. He loves music, but he's
been a business guy and then just on some random thing,
maybe ten fifteen years now, it's longer. It's probably like
fifteen twenty years ago. He just was walking by a

(33:04):
guitar store and saw, you know, guitar in the window
that he liked. He went in, he bought it. He went,
you know what I'm doing. Okay, Now I'm very successful
and my family's very successful. I'm going to do that
other thing that I've always wanted to do. And he
put this band together and he.

Speaker 7 (33:24):
Takes very good care of all of us, right, do
you know what I mean?

Speaker 8 (33:27):
So again, the universe just said, hey, just some random
clunge call and it was like, hey, do you want
to go to Cuba with us and maybe do a record?
And I'm like, I didn't even know who the Dead
Daisies were when they called.

Speaker 7 (33:41):
You found out quickly, yeah, and it was weird.

Speaker 8 (33:44):
I'm like, all these guys are really cool. Yeah, So
you know, here I am, you know, twelve years later.

Speaker 9 (33:53):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
And I want to take a pause because I want
to talk about that. I want to turn the page
and let's talk about the Dead Days is and everything
that is going on. I'm Dorian Taylor and you're listening

Speaker 4 (37:31):
Oh yeah, So welcome back to the Steamers Arena, proud

Doreene Taylor, and I'm chatting today with singer and musician
John Carabbi, former lead singer of Motley Crue and current
frontman of.

Speaker 5 (37:44):
The supergroup The Dead Daisies.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
John, congrats on the new The Dead Daisies album Looking
for Trouble. I love your reimagine take on so many
of the classic blues standards. It's truly, like you said,
it's a love letter to the blues.

Speaker 7 (37:59):
Yeah, it's well.

Speaker 8 (38:00):
First of all, I just I do I hope your
producer had his hand on the button for that last Okay.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
We're okay, we are good.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
I was gonna, you know what, before we go any further,
I got to ask you, so did it?

Speaker 8 (38:16):
No, I'm still going to a kind of collegish on No.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
Man, Oh, Gussie, that's the scoop. That's I don't know
if there's a scoop I wanted, but that's a scoop.

Speaker 8 (38:26):
There's a there's a scoop, and and you know what,
I much prefer the innuendo fielled part of the conversation
we were having before we went.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
On the Yeah see, I know, right, I'm all, I'm
all like you, very proper and professional in my when
I get into my interview mode.

Speaker 7 (38:40):
But yeah, you're right, it's all good, all good.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
Oh but yeah, congrats. It's it's an incredible, incredible album,
and I do love that you're bringing the blues back
and it's this really new, fresh kind of take on it.

Speaker 8 (38:55):
You know, it's funny, like I can honestly say that
because you know, each one of these songs that we picked,
we kind of researched it, as you see from that
video clip. We were we did a documentary while we
were doing it, but each one of these songs we

(39:16):
kind of researched and found out the history of the songs.

Speaker 7 (39:19):
The writers, Yeah, YadA, YadA, YadA.

Speaker 8 (39:21):
And it just really made us all very aware of
the fact that a none of us were blues officionados
prior to this.

Speaker 7 (39:32):
None of us. None of us will say that.

Speaker 8 (39:35):
We are or we were, but it's crazy to me
when you go back and you look at the history
of the blues was this It's the only real American
kind of art musical art form it originated here.

Speaker 7 (39:57):
Unfortunately, back in the day.

Speaker 8 (40:00):
If you look at the history of it, it was
always kind of considered an African American art form.

Speaker 7 (40:06):
It was called the Devil's music. White America was not
ready for this stuff at all.

Speaker 8 (40:12):
And thank God for the British because it somehow made
its way. The early recordings of this stuff actually made
its way over to England via the servicemen and merchant marines.
It made its way over to England mainly, and they

(40:35):
just fell in love with it. And these guys like
you know, the Stones, the Beatles, Seppelin, humble Pie, fog Hat,
all these great bands of the seventies took this music,
interpreted it their way, and brought it back and repackaged

(40:58):
it and handed it to America and we ate it up.

Speaker 5 (41:01):
Americans were ready for that, yeah, there were.

Speaker 7 (41:04):
And and you know, so.

Speaker 8 (41:08):
Like normally every record that we've ever done, we've always
done a song or two as a.

Speaker 7 (41:16):
Tribute to some of the artists we grew up with.

Speaker 8 (41:19):
And if you're familiar with our back catalog, you know
that we've done some songs like Joined Together by the Who,
or Fortunate Son by Credence, and you know, Midnight Moses
by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band and I'm We've done
songs on each each record. And while we were doing

(41:41):
the Light Em Up record, we went down to Fame
to do some writing and we were just so enamored
with the building and everything.

Speaker 7 (41:48):
We just said, okay, let's do a blues record.

Speaker 8 (41:51):
And you know, we've caught a little flak about the
songs that we chose to do.

Speaker 7 (41:59):
Because they're they're like the gimme songs, do you know
what I mean? Like it's the obvious.

Speaker 8 (42:07):
But the point that we were trying to make is
this amazing art form we kind of ignored it for many,
many years until the English.

Speaker 7 (42:19):
Guys got it.

Speaker 8 (42:20):
But what we did is we chose songs that were
introduced that introduced us to the blues, not by the
original artist, but by the second wave, you know what
I mean. So like, for example, Crossroads, I grew up
thinking as a young kid, I was like, oh, that's

(42:41):
a cream song, right, but it wasn't. And then and
then it was like later, uh, Leonard Skinner covered it
on their one More from the Road record, their famous
live record, and I thought they were covering a cream song.

Speaker 14 (42:58):
You know what?

Speaker 7 (42:59):
I mean, and it's like, not until.

Speaker 8 (43:01):
The age of social media and internet and you know
whatever were we able to figure out like, oh wait,
that's a guy named Robert Johnson wrote that in like
nineteen twenty seven or thirty or whatever it was. So
every one of these songs are songs that we were introduced.

Speaker 7 (43:23):
To by somebody else.

Speaker 8 (43:25):
Interesting, Going Down, Going Down was. We were introduced to
that by Jeff Beck. We were introduced to Walking the
Dog Aerosmith, Little Red Rooster. David Lowie was like, we
have to do Little Red Rooster. He goes when I
was a kid, that was the first song that I

(43:49):
had ever heard by the Rolling Stones and they did
a TV performance and I saw it in Australia.

Speaker 5 (43:56):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (43:57):
So he became obsessed with the Stones, thinking that that
was their song, right right.

Speaker 8 (44:04):
So these are all songs that we kind of got
from the second wave saying, you know, all these British
cats are like, hey, you know, dumbass, this is this.

Speaker 7 (44:17):
Is your your homegrown art form.

Speaker 8 (44:21):
Yeah, you should probably maybe listen to it and appreciate.

Speaker 7 (44:25):
It a little more.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
I agree, you know what I mean.

Speaker 8 (44:28):
And so we just said, you know what, let's do
a whole record and maybe maybe you know, we had
a blast doing it, we did it in this legendary studio,
and maybe you know we can.

Speaker 7 (44:46):
Influence or or.

Speaker 8 (44:49):
You know, through our acknowledgement of these great songs and
great artists. You know, maybe we'll we'll pass the torch
on and and maybe so somebody at home will do
their research and you know, be enlightened as we were.

Speaker 5 (45:05):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
And you know, if you're going to record a top
notch blues album like you guys did, where else would
you go but the iconic theme studios?

Speaker 8 (45:13):
I mean hello, yeah, it was either that or go
to England and use one of those iconic studios.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
But no, not for a blues record. I think where
you went, you know, in Alabama. I mean that if
you're going to really reintroduce it and bring it back
in your own flavor, that was the right place at
the right time.

Speaker 7 (45:32):
Yeah, and it was. It was weird.

Speaker 8 (45:34):
Like again, that was one of those things where we
just saw that there was a Netflix documentary excuse me,
I think they pulled it, but it was I believe
it was called The Sounds of Muscle.

Speaker 5 (45:47):
Sholes or oh yeah, yes, absolutely, there.

Speaker 8 (45:51):
Was this whole documentary. There was multiple reasons. I'm going
to apologize because this answer is going to be a
little bit long in the tooth. We saw the documentary
and we said, oh man, that'd be really cool to
just go down there and do some writing for our record.
And then being in that building, we started jamming. We

(46:12):
started jamming some blues things, and that's when we decided
let's do a blues record as well. So we were
kind of doing double duties. We were working on a
regular record during the day and then at night we
would arrange and record these tracks and lay them down.
But the funny thing is is if you watch that documentary,

(46:34):
you'll realize that Fame was the first studio in Muscle Shoals.
They had this house band called the Swampers. There was
a guy named Jerry Wexler. He was really tight with
a lot of those guys through Aretha Franklin and so
on and so forth. And then a couple of the

(46:54):
Swampers guys left and they started a studio on the
other side of town, and Jerry Wexler was involved with
them as well. That studio became equally as famous. That's
where the Rolling Stones recorded Gimme Shelter Wild Horses. Bob
Seeger recorded there like Rod Stewart. Just the list is ridiculous.

Speaker 7 (47:17):
And then once again.

Speaker 8 (47:19):
A couple of the guys said, you know what, let's
go to Nashville, right, and they went and they started
a studio in Nashville, which our producer, Marty Fredrickson purchased
when he moved to when he moved eventually moved to Nashville.
So the last few records we've done, we've been in,

(47:42):
We've done make some noise, burn it down, and even
finished up these two records at the third of the
three that Muscle Souls.

Speaker 5 (47:53):
Right, you're in the family.

Speaker 8 (47:54):
Yeah, yeah, So we said, let's go to Muscle Shouls
and it's only I mean, and I could literally get
on my motorcycle and I can be in muscle shows
from my house in you know, two hours.

Speaker 7 (48:06):
Hour and a half.

Speaker 5 (48:07):
Yeah, it's close.

Speaker 11 (48:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (48:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (48:08):
So we just said, you know what, I have a
motor home. We use that as a home base. We
parked it behind the studio and I drove everybody down
the muscle shoals and we stayed there for nine days
and we just did we did this blues record in
nine days.

Speaker 7 (48:26):
Down in muscle shows.

Speaker 5 (48:27):
Wow, nine days, that's incredible.

Speaker 4 (48:30):
I mean, the quality is so I mean, it's really
like just amazing what you guys could do in nine days.
And you were working simultaneously on another project too.

Speaker 5 (48:40):
That's multitasking and its finess.

Speaker 7 (48:43):
Yeah. I can chew gum and walking.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
I haven't done that yet. If you can teach me,
that would be good. I still trip all over the place.

Speaker 7 (48:52):
It's fine.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
But you know, the album debuted straight out at number
seven on the Billboard Blues Chart, which is extreme. The
impressive musical styles are ever evolving. Rock has changed, and
I mean almost every style pop has changed.

Speaker 5 (49:07):
The blues still continue to survive and thrive. It may
change a little bit, it's still the blues.

Speaker 7 (49:13):
Yeah, And you know it really it really was.

Speaker 8 (49:18):
I can't say it enough. It really was enlightening and
it really was eye opening.

Speaker 7 (49:26):
Doing this.

Speaker 8 (49:27):
And to be honest with you, I hope I'm really
kind of hoping and keeping my fingers crossed. You know
that this is only volume one, you know what I mean.
I hope that every time we do a record that
we can go in and do another blues record at
the same time, pick another ten songs, do our takes

(49:48):
on them are versions of it because it really was fun.

Speaker 7 (49:51):
And there's so many great.

Speaker 8 (49:53):
Songs, you know, it's just I mean, like to do
this withou a no brainer.

Speaker 7 (50:00):
There's thousands of great, great.

Speaker 8 (50:05):
Lose songs, yes, that we've probably never even heard of before,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (50:10):
Right, show, and you can bring them to the masses.
You can put your spin on them and introduce them
to a whole new group of people and listeners to
experience Lose who maybe really haven't, like you said, maybe
thought like you know, a certain song they heard was
the originator.

Speaker 5 (50:24):
It's not.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
And you're you know, making everybody here for the first
time maybe, And that's very that's a that's quite a responsibility, right,
with great power comes great responsibility.

Speaker 8 (50:36):
Well, you know when I become, when I become powerful
and responsible, I'll give you a call right now, Right now,
I'm sitting here chewing on an orange crayon.

Org, NBC News Radio. I'm Scott Carr. Possible pathways to
keep tariffs in place are being looked at by the
White House. The Trump administrations now ask the Supreme Court
to quickly review an appeals court ruling that a nineteen
seventies national security law does not grant the president the

(57:28):
power to set tariffs. Trump's allies say they're confident the
Supreme Court will provide a more favorable interpretation of the
executive's authority. The Supreme Court has lifted restrictions on immigration
patrols in the Los Angeles area. On Monday, the High
Court block to federal judges ruling that prevented ICE officers
from stopping people based on their race or ethnicity or

(57:49):
what language they speak. In the majority opinion, just as
Brett Kavanaugh writes, the judiciary does not set immigration policy
or decide enforcement priorities. DHS has now announced in immigration
operation underway in Chicago. Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam confirms
the operation, but would not get into details.

Speaker 14 (58:09):
I never talk about security operations. I don't want to
ever do anything that would jeopardize our law enforcement as
are out there on the ground making sure they're keeping
people safe.

Speaker 17 (58:18):
In a post DHS says Operation Midway Blitz will target
the criminal illegal aliens they say, who flocked to Chicago
and Illinois, and the Secretary says ICE is in many
cities now, not just Chicago.

Speaker 14 (58:30):
We can run as many operations every single day as
we need to to keep America safe. So nothing's on bold.
Everything is full speed ahead.
