That's where the money is going to be right there.
He probably didn't notice me to his wallet.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Okay, yeah, do you have all the money I've got?
I think I have four dollars so and you can't
have that.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
That's how my family works too. I normally I never
have more than three four dollars my wallet. Ever, we
don't need it. We have our debit cards, we have
Apple paint, we have everything else.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Need that we need.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
No not. My wife's always got cash on her. I
don't know why. I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
All right, we need to finish this up. Yeah, I
gotta get some dinner sometime. I'm getting hungry.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And they did that. Yes, yeah, so we're talking about
toast for some ridiculous reasons. But so, Danny, what else
are you gonna go see?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Okay? What else am I going to see? Okay, Friday night,
I'm seeing Melissa Athridge.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
She's talented, but I'm not into her music much.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, uh sun, I'll leave Saturday night show for for
in a minute. But on Sunday, I'm going to see
a Broadway musical that's touring around playing in Wilmington called
Dear Evan Hanson, which my daughter is freaking out excited about.
I'm like, I don't know any of the music, so
who's I don't know the guy and that this show
(03:58):
is about.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh okay, well I don't know anything about that. It's
definitely not hard rocking for us. But maybe you're no.
You can tell us later at some point. I have
no idea.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
She'll love it. And then Saturday night I am working
forduesel Zappa.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Oh what a talent that guy is.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Oh yeah, I can't wait yeah. He If anybody's ever
heard him play guitar, he is phenomenal. He is so
freaking good.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah. Is it one of those that Deuesel plays Zappa shows?
It plays Dad's.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Zappa plays Zappa. No, but I've seen the set list
and it's pretty much all Frank Zappa songs. He does
a couple of covers like he did a the one
show I or the one setlist I saw. He did
one Foot out the Door by Van Haleen. Okay, yeah,
or maybe it was Push Comes to Shove, I don't remember,
(04:51):
but anyway, so he does a couple of covers like that,
and most of it, like probably eighteen of the twenty
songs Frank zappasongs, and one of my favorites, my guitar
Wants to Kill Your Mama is not one of them,
but who knows, he may play it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Maybe. Yeah, he's got stories. If you happen to see
in the early and talk to him, I'm sure he's
got a billion Edward Van Halen's stories because he met
him when he was a kid. So yeah, then they
were friends. Monster Town.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Well that's Saturday night, and then next Friday, which is
April eighteenth, I am seeing Stanley Jordan, who I don't
know if you've ever heard of him. He's a guitar
player and he has got a very unique style. He
plays right handed like most guys, but then he plays
the melody with his right hand on the fretboard.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So his left hand is playing chords and his right
hand is playing the melody and it is unbelievable to
listen to. It is so cool.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, but I know who he is. Yeah, he's a
jazz dude mostly, and he'd be plays with both hands
on the fretboards right pretty much.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So that I'm seeing a week from
this coming Friday, so, and then the following Friday, I'm
seeing the Fab four, which is a Beatles tribute, which
I'm really looking forward to because apparently they're they are
spot one.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I have seen it. I have seen them. They've been
around forever. They play, they play the whole country. I
have seen them. They are great. When I saw them,
they started with the old Beatles mop tops, and they
went through costume changes and they go all the way
from like sixty three to seventy and they look, they
look the part, they sound the part. They are great.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Play Sergeant Pepper costumes all that.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Oh yeah, so good. And you know all the songs, so.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, that's one bad that I do know all the
songs for. I will admit that.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, so that that sounds pretty cool. Are are you
going with your daughter? Are you going with your daughter
because she's a big Beatles fan.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
No, I'm working that show, but I should ask her
if she wants to go.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh, she would love that. There they are great.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Do that the next the next night or the next day.
After the Fab four show, We're flying to Costa Rica
for a week, so I'll be piecing out.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah. I don't have any giant list of shows like
you do, but I might. On the twelfth, I think
it's next Sunday. The Rainbow Bar and Grill in their
parking lot is having their Rainbow Bash and the headliner
for that show is Michael Monroe. I've never seen Michael Monroe,
(07:38):
so I'm thinking of going to that tickets are.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
As big a fan as you are, and you've never seen.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Him, Well, I was supposed to see him in eighty four,
but then the razzle crash happened and the show got canceled.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh well, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
So I'm probably I'm ninety going to go to that
one opening for him as a bunch of acts, including
Faster pussy Cat Odin, who I never liked. But if
you've ever saw the they're in that movie. Oh God,
it's about the eighties and the Klan of Western Civilization
(08:12):
part two. Odin is in that and they were a
band I really didn't like. But they're playing or reforming
and playing, and of all bands, well we talked about
a second ago, Black Oak, Arkansas is also playing. Really yeah,
it's a free show. There's like six seven bands. They played.
Behind the Rainbow and the Roxy, there's a parking lot.
(08:34):
And if you've seen the Cheech and Chong's first movie
Up in Smoke, at the end of the movie, they're
sitting in there van, that's the parking lot. And Danny
actually saw the parking lot where they're gonna have the shit.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, that is a tiny place to have a concert.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, so they packed the Rainbow. They pack that and
it's free. But once you've give them your free ticket,
you have to pay a two drink minimum, which is
thirty bucks, so it's really not free, but you still
to drinks and costa thirty bucks for all those bands
totally worth it. So yeah, I'm gonna probably do that.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
That sounds very cool. I would. I'd definitely go with you.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah. So we're going to take a quick break and
then we're going to talk about the board Rock Boardwalk
Rock Concert in Ocean City, Maryland. So SNA too many.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Right, Welcome back to everybody. We're going to talk about
the Boardwalk Rock Festival that's in Ocean City, Maryland on
May seventeenth and eighteenth, and I'm thinking about going. I'm
not sure yet though, because it's pretty expensive. It's like
one hundred and forty bucks for the lowest level for
(09:42):
one day. It's like two sixty for two days. But
the venue, it's on the beach, the stages on the
actually there's two stages and or maybe there's three, but anyway,
they're both. All the stages are on the actual beach
and there's VIP area is cordoned off, and I think
(10:03):
there are some seating areas and things like that. But
I thought we'd go through and talk about each of
the bands on each day. You know, if I do
end up going, which day I would go to which
is clear? Which day I would go to, no question.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Oh it's clear for me too. Out of all these days,
I know which one I would go to. Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Absolutely. So on the first day, they start out with
a band called Royal Lynn, which I've never heard of. Okay,
Mark said you you said you looked into it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Royal Lynn is a female singer. She's from Michigan, and
I went on YouTube and watched her modern rock with
the country twangy vocals. She looks like she's about twenty
twenty one, very attractive. Not really my kind of music,
but she seems like she's talented, so maybe she'll be
(10:58):
huge in a few years. But that's who she is.
She's starting it off, Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Next on Saturday is somebody called Cat Bondie, which I've
heard of before. She's, of course a lady hard rock.
I don't really know a whole lot about her.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Okay, here's what I know about Cat VNDI. She's a
tattoo artist. She was on she had a couple of shows.
La Inc. Was the big one. She had Hispanic woman.
Very attractive. She's she used to be really tatted up
and really wild and crazy. I mean she's she's a
portrait artist. So she's really good at what she does,
(11:37):
but I don't think she does it anymore. She ended
up getting married moving like Indiana. But the music she
plays is not hard rock at all. It's almost dance music.
So it's really it's kind of weird that she's on
this bill. I mean, everybody knows who she is and
in that particular area, especially Tattoos, but her music is
really almost discoy and it's odd.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
But I'm thinking of somebody else thinking because who I
was thinking of was like German hard rock.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
No, this is not hard rock at all. Just check
her videos out. But she's very nice to look at,
I gotta say it.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Next up is a band called Trapped, another band I
know nothing about. Haven't heard of them before.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
You know, Yeah, all I know is they were a
California band that formed in nineteen ninety nine. They had
one big song called Headstrong, and it's one of these
nineties Yeah, in these nineties bands that I really don't
know much about. Not my thing. They didn't do anything
for me, so yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Next is a band called Everclear, which I have heard of.
I like them, okay, you know, I liked their heads.
I'm not I haven't gone deep into any of their
albums or anything, but I would go see them.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah, they were kind of a punk band in California.
The songs I really liked by theme of the really
early stuff. They had a song called Heroin Girl and
Santa Monica. Those are my two favorites. Then they got
a little pot popular and their stuff got really really poppy,
almost like pop rock. And then that's when they had
their most They probably had like five or six hits,
(13:10):
and then they broke up, and now they're back again.
I mean you could you'll be able to sing all
like all their songs when you see them actually quite good.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
But uh, next up is Puddle of Mud, which I
know kind of like Everclear. I know a couple of
their songs don't go deep into their catalog at all,
so you know, I could see him, not see him.
The songs I do know I like.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Okay, So yeah, I guess their lead singer, Wes s
Gatland is kind of a train wreck. I guess he's
had all kinds of issues. Seems like every time you
read about him, there's something going on with that dude,
or something went wrong at a concert, or he got
arrested or whatever. It's that kind of stuff people aren't
really talking about their music, but they they were popular
for a while. But again, I guess I'm I guess
(13:58):
I'm the guy on the lawn off my lawn guy
because I'm not into Trapped or Puddle the Mud or
any of those that That era just doesn't appeal to me.
But so I would be eating a corn dog during
that if I was going that day.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
So yeah, so for me, it would be That's when
I'd be heading down there. You know. I wouldn't try
to be there an hour before the first band goes,
like I normally would, but after Puddle of Mud is
when I would start wanting to be there for sure.
Because the next band is Extreme, which anybody who listens
to this show knows. I'm a huge Extreme fan. So
(14:35):
I've seen them probably ten times, so it wouldn't be
anything new, but they are amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, it's interesting that they're lumped together with these acts
so far, but I kind of like it when they
do this. They'll put some nineties bands with some eighties bands,
mix it up a bit, because, yeah, you don't want
everybody to sound the same. It gets boring if everybody's
the same so it's definitely different.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Because you could have two thousands bands that all sound
the same and you wouldn't know one band starts on
the next one in the next one ends, but you know,
but an extreme, yeah, i'd want to see them.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And we don't know. If there's two stages, I'm gonna
guess like one band's playing, one band setting up. But
if there's three, there might be a third stage way
in the back in a tent, or these acts that
we really don't know anything about are playing. So I'm
gonna guess the bigger bands that we've heard of obviously
going to be in the big stages. There might be
a side stage somewhere, like the first couple of acts
we talked about might be on there. But Extreme is
(15:34):
always great.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Next up is The Struts. I like them pretty good.
They're newer band, basic hard rock. I like them all right.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, I definitely see them very poppy. They're their newer
stuff is almost like Robbie Williams esque, very I mean,
all their songs are sing along. The first two albums
I thought were really good, but they're kind of like
going on this Maroon five type deal. I haven't seen
them live, but apparently they're really good live and they're
(16:05):
heavier live than they are on their albums. Yeah, very
talented group. Yeah, I would definitely watch them for sure.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
So yeah, next up, no question, Mammoth WVH is on
the bill. I'm a gigantic fan, as you guys know.
Mark traveled from California on his birthday trip out here,
and that's the band we saw up in Keswick Theater
and up around Philly. So yeah, I'm not I'm not
(16:36):
going to get a hot dog when they're on.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, they're They're damn good. I mean, I mean right now,
I mean, this festival started a little light, but now
you've got three bands in a row. I would stay
to see for sure.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So far, Saturday's looking pretty good. So big thumbs up
for Mammoth WVHEP yep.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Next up, man, I have never heard of, have no idea.
Who they are is fly Leaf with Lacey sterm no idea.
I don't know anything about them.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, this is one of those bands I've heard of
but didn't know squad about them. All I know is
that they've had a couple of female vocalists. They're a
hard rock nineties hard rock band. Apparently they have a
Christian influence with their lyrics, but they're not really a
Christian band, but I guess they're kind of popular. But yeah,
I don't know any about those guys, So I'm sorry,
(17:27):
get off my lawn. I don't know anything about these guys.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
That might be a bathroom break brand, yeah, or maybe
they're on a side stage.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I don't know. Or they might be really good. You
just never know. Okay, you gotta help me with the
next two.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Let me, let's let's take a break for a second.
Because I know there was a there was a lineup
listing of when they were playing on what stage.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Okay, well, I know the next band. I know the list.
I have the list in front of me too. I
can tell you.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Do you have it when they're playing on the stages?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
No, I don't have the times or anything like that,
but I just had.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Just had times and okay, times and stages.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Because the next band I've heard of and I know
the name, but I don't know squat about them. I
can't say. I don't know why I know one song
from them, So.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
All right, so we're back. I've looked up the actual
stages and where they're playing times. Okay, Yes, so we
got up through Mammoth, WVH and Flyleaf. Right, Flyleak is
actually on one of the side stages, and so is Extreme.
Really they have three stages, thunder Bolt and Lightning H
(18:42):
so on the on the Lightning stage is Trapped Extreme,
ever Clear, which we haven't talked about yet, and Flyleaf. Okay,
I don't know, I probably i'd well, I definitely. The
problem is Extreme and the Struts are playing at the
same time on two different stages.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
So this this, this might be he huge. They might
have set this thing out. So yeah, you might have
to walk like half a mile or a quarter mile
to goo the stage.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah. I think the two main stages are facing each
other on each end of the beach, and then there's
a third stage over on the side.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, probably in a tent or something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yeah, okay, so we haven't talked about Chevelle. They're playing
on the thunder stage and each of these bands have
like it has an hour, so that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, I couldn't take you.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I know of them, but I don't really know much
about them. Yeah, between that, them and ever Clear play
at the same time. Okay, So I don't. I would
probably go see Chavelle. I think I.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Would see Ever Clear. That's just me though. It stinks
that Extremely. It stinks the Extreme and the Struts are
playing the same time, because you think they would have
the same kind of fans exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
And then Mammoth wv H is playing after Extreme, but
before Chavelle. I'm Ever Clear, So I don't know who
i'd go see between the Struts and Extreme. I mean,
I've seen Extremes so many times, and I've seen them
on this tour.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, I might. I might just watch the Struts because
I'd never seen them before. Yeah, and if they suck,
I'd go over to Extreme exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So after Chavelle and ever Clear, they play almost at
the same time as Bush. They play on the same
stages as Mammoth, but nobody else was playing at that time.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I'm not a big Bush fan of the of the
President or the band.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I'd go see. I'd probably go see them just because
there's no other bands playing at the time, and might as.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Well sure give him a shot. I mean, they might
surprise you. But now the songs I know, I breathe
and breathe out, breathing and breathe out. That's the only
thing I can think of with Bush, and I'm like, eh,
I didn't like it back then.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So and so the next the next two bands playing
our fly Leaf, they're on the Lightning Stage, as I'm
thinking is the third stage, and then it was going
to be Motley Crue was playing, but they or they
got pulled or whatever, and Alison Chains is taking their place,
which I've never seen. Alison Chains. I would definitely go
(21:07):
see them.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, between fly Leaf and Alison Chains, no brainer. Alison
Chains exactly. I have seen Alison Chains.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I saw them with Lane Staley when they opened for
Sigon Kick in front of about twenty people in a
small cook club.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, that's cool, that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
They were really good.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Then after Alison Chains on the other stage is Hailstorm,
which I've never seen but I love them. Lizzie Hale
is amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, big thumbs up. I've never seen them either, but yeah,
I like Hailstorm absolutely.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah. And then the closer of the night is def Leppard,
which we really don't need to talk about. They're amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, I haven't seen def Leppard in probably fifteen twenty years,
but I've always liked them. I've never seen them do
a bad show, and with Deaf Left, where there's no
fake vocals, it's them all singing because they don't sound
like the record, but they're still great. They're a great
live band.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh yeah, absolutely. So that's so, that's Saturday, and between
the two days, Saturdays the day i'd be going to.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, and it doesn't seem it's going to be so
long because it looks like you can bounce around if
you really wanted to.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, I would add Puddle of Mud is so they
start out Royal Lynn, Catbandie and Trapped are playing like
a twelve thirty to two o'clock on the three different stages,
but then Puddle of Mud plays it too. I'd probably
try to be there by then just.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
To see them, yeah, just to see what it's like.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, yeah, and then i'd have to make decisions between
the Struts and Extreme and then mammo. So yeah, I
would definitely go to Saturday over Sunday. But we're going
to talk about Sunday right now.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, you know. And I hope with this
for these people going, I hope they have enough shade.
You know, well, structures if it's just outside, but you
should have some structures or something up for shade because
that's a long day for some people to be out
there at the beach. So you hope this is the
first time they're doing it.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
So, yeah, it is on the beach. It's no, no question.
It's not like it's near the beach or at a
venue close to the beach. It is on the sand
with the water on one side of you and the
boardwalk on the other side.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Okay, they got this tickle, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
You know, a guy told me, one who is big
into Asian medicine and stuff like this, he told me,
if you have to sneeze, because sneezing apparently in Asia
is a big no no, right, it's very offensive, which
I'm like, okay, fine. He said, if you rub right
above and between your eyes, if you have to sneeze,
(23:50):
if you rub right there, okay, it goes away. Unbelievable,
but it works. I've tried it a number of times
and it totally works.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Oh okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
So give it a try some time.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
All right. This public service announcer from Daddy, Yeah, good
to know.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Okay, onto our regular schedule program of talking about board
rock rock on Sunday, May eighteenth. The schedule starts out
with Saliva, which I've heard of, but I don't know
anything about them.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
So I like their first album. I don't think one
of their lead singers with somebody else singing, so it's
a replacement singer for Saliva. I think their first record
was good, but other than that, okay.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Then comes somebody called Tim Montana that I don't know
anything about.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
He had's more of that hard rock slast country fusion
type deal.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Kind of sounds like it. Yeah, yeah, So he's on
the stage by nobody else is playing at that time. Next,
at one point thirty, these two bands are playing on
different stages. Fuel and Blackstone Cherry, and I like Blackstone
Cherry a lot. I know some Fuel songs. I don't
know that i'd oh to Fuel over Blackstone Cherry, but.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Oh it's easy for me. I take black Store. I
haven't seen either band. I'm not a big fuel guy.
Fuel to me is a lot like puddle of mud.
Eh yeah, But Blackstone Cherry is actually quite good. Oh yeah,
very very popular in Europe, not so much in the States.
But great band.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah. At The second stage after those two bands is Lit.
They they don't have anybody else playing, so that would
I'd watch them. I know a few of their songs,
they're okay.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I saw Lit open for Bonn Jovie. They were great.
They're great live, very very catchy songs.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Next up, playing on two different stages is Candlebox, who
I saw open for Rush and I couldn't tell you
anything about them. They were that not memorable. And then
some band called cross Fade that I don't know anything about.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Candlebox bores the crap out of me, and cross Fade
I watched a couple of their videos just to see
who they are. They were, eh, nineties forgettable. I'd pass
and I would go eat lunch during both of those bands. Yeah,
not for me.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Well you'd have an extended lunch because the next band
up is Dorothy, which, again I don't know anything.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
About female hard rock singer. She's very very much a
throwback to the eighties. A lot of eighties people have
been playing with her. Apparently she's like an early twenties
and she's been doing monsters or rock cruises and stuff
like that, so you might want to check her out.
So I heard a lot of good things about her.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
All right, next up on two different stages, and this
is really a no brainer for me. You have Three
Doors Down on one stage and Night Ranger on another,
No question.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Three doors Down a right new is three Doors Down
the band that does that crypt the Night song?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, I don't like them. Night Rangers great, always great,
live all Night Ranger all day.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
So yeah, yeah, but I know a few songs by
Three Doors Down. Kryptonites their big hit, So Night Ranger
I'm been a big fan of since the eighties.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
So see that's smart. Two bands that are completely different,
two different crowds. That makes sense. You don't put two
bands that are similar on against each other, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah. The Saturday when they have like the Strutson Extreme
or Chavelle and ever Clear, I don't know. They just
seems kind of too similar.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
But next after Night Ranger are playing on a stage
with no other bands playing is Alice Cooper, which.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Pretty great.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
You go see Alice Cooper. You don't miss that show.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
No fantastic.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah. Next, this might be when I go to the
bathroom or something. You have Shine Down on one stage,
which I'm okay with Shine Down actually i'd go see
them because I haven't seen them before. And on the
other stage is Brett Michaels, which Mark and I saw
Brett Michaels and we left. We left the show after
(28:05):
what three four songs?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yes, it's because he went he played a Leonard Skinner song.
We're like, okay, we're done.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, he started Sweet Home Alabama. I'm like, nope, we're out. Yeah,
and we were in the car by the time Sweet
Home Alabama ended.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah. I like Brett Michaels with Poison because there's four
those four guys. It works, the chemistry is great. Brett
Michael's by himself. I'm just not interested in Yeah, he's
entertaining it all, but I'm not interested in him by himself. No,
And who's the band played shine Down? I don't know
anything about Shinedown. I would probably check out shine Down
(28:39):
over Brett Michael's solo, just would, but it was Poison.
I would be watched Poison over Shinedown.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yeah, Shinedown's good. I like. I like what I heard
from them. I'm not a huge fan, Like I couldn't
tell you one of their songs, but I do remember
listening to him thinking that that's good. I like that.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Uh. Next on the stage by themselves is three Days Grace.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Couldn't tell you anything about them, Nope, ninety.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Three Days Grace is some kind of Christian reference or what.
But I'm not I'm not gonna stick around for that one.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, I just I mean, I get, I mean, if
they're that high end, the building must be popular.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
But yeah, they're closing the same stage as Alice Cooper
was on. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
It shouldn't mean that be reversed.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, I would have reversed a lot of these.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
But yeah, old marketing. They're marketing it towards the people
fifteen years younger than this, twenty years younger than us,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Twenty yeah at least. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
And then closing the show is Nickelback, which I don't
know why Nickelback gets such a bad rap. They're okay,
you know, I like some of their songs. Yeah, I
don't know why they're getting such such a bad rap
all the time.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I think as they got popular and a lot of
people couldn't figure out why they write good tunes. I'm
not a huge Nickelback fan, and apparently they're very heavy
live apparently. Yeah, I mean everybody. I know, some people
just love them. But it's the same thing with Creed
people bash on Crete because people couldn't figure out why
they were popular and they sold ten million albums, and
(30:19):
same thing with Nickelback. I'm not a huge fan of
either one of them, but I respect what they do.
Maybe I'd become a fan. I mean, if I was there,
I would and watch Nickelback.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, I'd stay for Nickelback. I wouldn't like leave early
or anything. So it looks like I'd be hanging around
at the one stage for Shine Down and Nickelback.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, depending on the layout, you know, between the two days,
I would obviously go Saturday. But if the layout was
cool enough where I knew I could go take a
break somewhere and you know, go see a stage and
go sit down somewhere else or whatever. If it was
laid out right, I might go to both days because
there's a good hands on Sunday too, but just there,
(31:02):
it's on the layout. If it's a train wreck where
there's like no no bathrooms or you know, though there's
no no cold water and no shade, you're gonna have
to have a shade.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
For this or if you or if they're assuming, well
you've got an ocean to go to the bathroom across exactly.
Oh man. So so anyway, that's the lineup for Boardwalk
Rock on Sunday or Saturday and Sunday, May seventeenth and eighteen.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
So yeah, I kind of hope you go.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I'm thinking about Saturday. I'll talk to with my brother
and his sons and see if any of them would
want to go.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, and is it where? Is it cool enough to worry? Hey,
you can actually, because I would be very surprised if
there was a way you could go run out and
jump in the ocean and play in the ocean for
like thirty minutes and run back out there and watch
a show.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Oh, I think. So, I don't know. I don't know
if you can go in the ocean from where I
know that the stages are on the sand right up
against the water, so so you know, if it's an
extremely high tide, I don't know if they're going to
be having problems with the proximity of the water to
the stages. But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
If this is well planned out, it sounds like it
could be an awesome thing. They do every year, or
it could be a complete train wreck, which would make
for great podcasts. And again, I'll.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Think about it. Like I said, it's you know, I
think it's one hundred and forty bucks for one day. Actually,
let me let me check.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah, you told me something was like one for maybe
two sixty for both.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, it eats. General admission for two days is two
point fifty for one day. Is one sixty five for
general mission plus, which I don't really know what that means. Oh,
upgrade their conditioned restrooms, amenities for comfort and access, meaning
like loungs with shade and relaxed seating.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Is that more money?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It's three hundred for one day. Yeah, I can hospitality staff,
private bar with drinks for purchase.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I'm yeah, yeah, this seems concerning to me. That's why
I want you to go. Now. I was like, oh god,
this is horrible.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You want you want me to go? Okay, here's a
here's a little map of the place. So there's the
main stage on one.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
End of the beach, wear hat, wear a hat.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Oh absolutely. Then on the other end of the beach
is the second stage, and there's it looks like one, two, three, four, five, six,
and eight nine ten blocks between the two stages.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, it depends on how long a block is. You
think it's like one hundred yards between stages or like
five hundred yards.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
I think it's probably three hundred yards.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, that's reason there's a boardwalk between the two that
goes out into the ocean with like kind of a
little amusement park on the on the pier.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Oh, kind of like Santa Monicas.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Yeah, okay, and then the third stage is kind of
in the area where the second stage is. So luckily
the second and third stage none of the none of
the acts override each other, so okay, but the first,
the main and the second stages face each other. But
(34:24):
like I said, they're a few one hundred yards apart.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Okay. I think like Rockelholma does it that way too. Yeah,
if I lived out there, I would go. The first
year is just to see how it'd make sure I
wore a hat, long sleeve T shirt, Sun's green. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah. For the VIP, which is five hundred and ten dollars,
there's a dedicated viewing platform at the main stage, dedicated
viewing areas to all stages, amenities for comfort and access
upgrading their conditioned restrooms. I don't know. I'm not paying
five hundred and ten bucks for one day.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
No, I wouldn't either, But then again, you know we're
older guys. I guess, Yeah, I don't. I couldn't. I
could see myself paying five hundred dollars for both days
and the bands being like spectacular for this lineup. I can't.
I'm not paying five hundred bucks. And I like a
lot of these bands, but not I like maybe what
(35:25):
thirty percent of them. No, it's a little pricey.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah, yeah, let's see. I like on Saturday, one two,
three or five six, six of the bands I would
be into on Sunday one two, three four.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, I'm like five on five on Sunday and one two, three, four,
five six on Saturday. So yeah, Saturday would win it
for me. But I don't know. We'll see.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, it's a little it's a little pricey.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Yeah it was first time, but it's who knows. I mean,
you don't know. Yeah, but if you're not sure, wait
till I would say, if you're not sure, wait till
last second, because you don't know how well this thing
is going to sell. And sometimes they do a big
ticket dump if they don't if it's not selling that great.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
So well, it looks like it looks like most of
the they say limited access. Now I don't really know
if that's anything, you know, if limited access really means anything. Right,
So you know, if you go to the tickets you get,
you would have to go on the wait list for
the two day like the Platinum and the Ultimate versions.
(36:48):
Platinum is seventeen hundred and fifty bucks for two days
and the Ultimate is thirty nine hundred and fifty. No,
thank you, but they're sold out.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, okay, and the Platinum, the seventeen fifty is sold
out as well. Jeez.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
I know those monsters and rock cruises are in the
couple thousand. You'll spend like seventeen dollars per person, But
that's a lot more bands and a lot of cruise
and on the cruise, and it's a lot more days.
I can see paying for that, but not for one
or two days on the beach. No, I don't think.
I don't see this thing lasting. But okay, not at
(37:29):
those prices, all right, But if you go, we gotta
tell us what it's like.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Oh, I no doubt, you know, I will but i'll
definitely next time we talk, i'll talk about the duezl
Zappa Show. Yeah, and Stanley Jordan if we haven't talked
about that yet.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Okay, yeah, because we've got one more show before you
go to Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
So all right. Cool.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
On that note, well, I'll say goodbye, all right, see
you bye. What a crap ending that is, Okay,
