Speaker 1 (00:00):
On your Mark, get ready start.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Broadcasting from California and Delaware.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is the Hard Rocking Trivia Show.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
And here are your host Mark and Danny.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Alright, boys and girls, welcome back after a week long absence,
but we're here live and in person and Delaware and California.
This is the Hard Rocking Trivia Show.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
And the crowd goes wild.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yep, it's July twenty twenty five. This is episode two
hundred and eighty four. Wow, we've been doing this for
like thirteen years now.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Why you think we'd get it right now?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
I don't know why we keep doing We just keep
kind of doing it because it's it's still fun and
there are some people out there who listen regularly, so
thank you for listening wherever you are. So it's cool.
The big, the big news in the hard rock and
metal world is we had the Back to the Beginning
concert in Birmingham, England, featuring Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne. Danny,

(01:28):
I know you saw some of it.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, I saw a few things of it. I mostly
saw well, I saw some of the Black Sabbath part,
but I mostly saw some of the other. I don't
know what you call him, all star groups or some
of the bands, and yeah, I you know it just
it reaffirms my assertion that Nudo is what he's got
to be the best guitarist out there right now.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Well he was the MVP stated by everybody who watched it.
Uh yeah. I bought this the live stream, which was
twenty nine bucks, and I sat in my office for
eight and a half hours.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Straight watching it.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Was pretty damn good. There there were a little bit
of hiccups along the way. One of the things that
people might not know is it wasn't streamed live. What
they did was there was a two hour delay, so
they enhanced some of the video audio so somebody they
was shot and then somebody mixed it and two hours

(02:30):
later that's when we started getting the feeds. Okay, So
I get why they did it because you know some
you know, you're gonna have some missteps along the way.
I saw a couple, but you know, you don't you
never know what you know, what they're helping out and
what they're not helping out. This this show was a

(02:51):
lot like the uh Freddie Mercury tribute thing where the
bands came out, played a couple of songs, A band
would play like the first couple of bands fifteen twenty minutes,
they play some of their songs in one Sabbath or
Ossie cover, and they went right down the line I missed,
I missed like Rival Sons and like masted On. I

(03:12):
think I hopped on at Hailstorm, they crushed. They were
really good and oh yeah, they're they're freaking awesome and
the super group. I mean a lot of people, a
lot of podcasts have been going through what they the
whole deal in the review, We're not gonna go through everything,
just bits and pieces of what we saw. Uh. Steven
Tyler was a nice surprise and surprise he can sing,

(03:36):
which was awesome. He did three songs. He was great.
Sammy Hagar was up there. The audio screwed up the
drum intro drum parts, so you couldn't hear Chad Smith
in the beginning of Uh. I don't know, but that
kicked in and I know that.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
The when Alison Chains was doing their Sabbath cover, the
audio completely dropped out for that almost the entire song,
but later on they put it back in. And the
other thing I noticed was when Jakie Lee and if
you don't know, Jakie Lee didn't do Bark at the
Moon because he physically can't do Bark at the Moon.
I guess he has some carpal tunnel issues. And what

(04:17):
people forget is the guy got shot last year, so
he's going through some health stuff. So the fact that
he even came out there and did a couple of
songs I died. They did Shot in the Dark and
David Draymond from Disturbed came in too early, and it
kind of you could tell it messed up Jake because
the camera went to Jake and he kind of stopped

(04:37):
for a second and then he jumped back in like
eight bars later. But after that he was fine. But
when Jake was playing like the solos, Nuna was playing
the solos. They played them together, but so Nuna was
there to help Jake out, but Jake was playing, but
there was a little help along the way, just kind
of like when Ozzy was doing his solo thing. If

(04:59):
you watch it's the video of that, Zack is singing
lead with Ozzy. They're singing it together, so really a
little help. Yeah, you watched the video of that. Every
time Ozzy singing, Zack is singing, so he's kind of
doubling up his vocals. It's just trying to help out.
But he wasn't. I mean, for the fact that Ozzi

(05:20):
even could sing at all in his condition. Yeah, I
mean Danny I talked briefly about it. Was he great vocally?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
No, but he tried.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
But there was one Black Sabbath song and I can't
remember which it was, that he wasn't even close to
the right key, and you could tell. You could see
Geezer and Tony Iomi kind of looking at each other
like this is horrible, like what the hell man? But
they kept on going. They they did it, And I

(05:52):
guess it's just the fact that he's he's up there
on stage. Everybody, well, that's so great. He's up there.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well home, he can't walk, he's got Parkins says, well,
you're tough on these guys. And did you see bill Ward?
Finally there's the original Blacks Haveva. Bill Ward was actually
playing there was bill Ward nineteen seventies bill Ward now,
but he was playing along the song, laying along with
the song. Was it perfect, No, But the fact that

(06:21):
it was the four guys up there trying to play
and they pulled it off and everybody there in attendance
loved it because you know, being there live is probably
a lot obviously a lot different than what we heard,
you know, the the audio we got two hours later.
But it is the best they could do, and for
the most part, I'd say ninety percent of it was

(06:42):
very positive. I mean, I I enjoyed it. It was
kind of a nice sendoff, you know, because they're not
He's this is the last time. There's everybody says, oh,
it's gotta coming back, It's gotta be No, I don't
think Ozzie's gonna last more than a year, if possible.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
It's like, no, he's he's doing bad.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
You don't come back.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
And have you seen the Yeah, have you seen the
video of him yelling at the guys to come back
on stage at the end of the Black Saba set, Uh,
Tony and Geezer walking off stage and he like, stay
on the fucking stage. It just looked really really sad.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
I thought he was saying, like turning, turn the stage around,
because he didn't because they with the odd with the
video cut off. The Sabbath guys came back and thanked Ozzie,
but that wasn't on the video. Feed, so some people
probably filmed it with their cameras there, but as soon
as they finished, they cut off. But you could see
Ozzy yelling to the side of the stage and then

(07:42):
it just cut. But the guy's guests came back and
they had a thank you and all that stuff. But
did you see Bill Ward without his shirt? I thought
I was bad, But that's why I put a with
a shirt T shirt on when I swim. I don't
want to. I don't want to scare people. I'm not
in I'm not in nineteen twenties. You know, you know

(08:03):
twenty year old mark shape, I mean sixty shape. So
it ain't it ain't pretty. But you know, Bill didn't
give a crab, which I thought was kind of cool.
He's like, it's like when you see Iggy pop now,
it's like, oh my god, Iggy puts your shirt on.
It's awful. Yeah, but yeah, some guys don't care, and
Bill didn't care. So I thought that was kind of
metal if anything was metals, yeah, bill Ward, but uh yeah, alright,

(08:26):
well give it, give him that. Yeah, guns n' Roses
here's one I wanted to. I mean, Panther was great. Uh,
Metallica was great, Guns n' Roses, the Positives. They only
played as a five piece, which was cool. No keyboards,
no piano, there were just five of them. The new

(08:47):
drummer is great. I don't even know it's navy, but
he looks like he's young, skinny as hell. It's like
he's one hundred and twenty pounds. But he was great.
The band played great, act is in shape, He's moving everywhere,
and they played four deep cut Sabbath songs plus Welcome

(09:08):
to the Jungle, I think Paradise City, but they played
two from Never Say Die. I think but Wow, and
that's an album that most Sabbath fans don't like. But
then this whole concert, I think they played four songs,
three or four songs. I think Guns and Roses played
Johnny Blade or somebody played Junior's Eyes too. It's like, wow, okay,

(09:29):
that's kind of deep.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
But yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Really, the only negative with Axel is I think Guns
n' Roses needs to tune down because when Axel starts
to sing high, he sounds like Mickey Mouse.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Really yeah, oh he does.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
And people were on the live stream because there was
a chat going like, oh my god, Mickey Mouse is
singing guns and Roses and everybody. But when he sings
lower register perfect, but when he goes to that a
lot of guns and roses, he goes to the high register. Right,
it's a little off, so they need to tune down.
But the band was great, actual running around was great.

(10:13):
It was just that higher register was the only thing
that was kind of a turn off. But the energy
was there. But then again, maybe it sounds better being there.
I don't know. I mean, you've seen guns recently.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah, I saw them a couple of years ago when
Mammoth was touring with him. Then it was Mammoth's first show,
but I thought he just had it okay. The the
negative part of that show I saw was just Slash
just playing and playing and playing and playing, Like, oh
my god, you've played every note many many times.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
You can move on overplaying, you know.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah, just so many solos, and the solos just kept
going and going, like, all right, everybody knows you can play, dude,
just move on.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
I think I'd rather have I'd rather have another song
or two in the set than a five minute guitar
solo in every song.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, we don't need to take a three minute song
and make it an eight minute song. It's just like no,
I'm with you there. But yeah, but other than that,
I mean it was it was pretty entertaining. I mean,
if you a good video to watch. Eddie Trunk did
a really good job with his interviews. He caught some
of the people are there. But Dave Ellison now has

(11:32):
a podcast on YouTube and he brought on Mike Borden
and Rudy Sarzo and that's very interesting because Rudy goes
deep into what was going on there and what happened
with the Randy crash and how he felt and how
he went through things. Definitely check out Ellison's podcast. It's
pretty good actually, so it's worthy. It seems like everybody

(11:53):
on that podcast.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Now, yeah, every everybody's gonna buy.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's why we will go too deep into it. We
could have went through every band set and done that,
but now I think everybody else has already done that.
So yeah, So what we're gonna do is we're gonna
flip to what the bits we normally do. Most of
my bits have to do with Black Sabbath. This is
Black Sabbath heavy for my side. Danny and I never
discuss what we're gonna do what questions. So I don't

(12:20):
know what his are gonna be like, but I imagine his
are gonna be pretty similar.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Well, actually, I don't have one thing concerning black Sabbath.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Okay, so that's then it'll be a difference, so it'll
be some Sabbath and some not. Okay. So that being said,
let's jump into rapid fire.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
All right, everybody, welcome back time for some rapid fire
where we try to stump each other with three questions each.
And as Mark said in the intro, he's and more
black Sabbath because of the whole back to the beginning, concert, festival,
whatever you want to call it. I did not nothing
I have, so I guess this is a hint. None

(13:12):
of my questions the answers are black Sabbath. So that
knows it down for you.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
And that's my dumb dog barking in the background. Casey,
shut up, Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Start all right, So question number one for you.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, I'm gonna kick that dog, God dog, all right,
the dogs. The dog's afraid of the wind. Okay, so
nobody's nobody's afraid. We got a delivery of package. Oh okay,
thanks Danny must have sent me something, but anyway I
did not. Okay, well, who knows.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
I do have some books to send back to you,
but not yet. Okay, all right, here we go. Question
number one for you. You remember the movie The Money
Pit with Tom Hanks.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
I do.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Yeah, he was a manager of a band, or not
the manager, but he was owing money to a band.
Who was that band?

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Hmmm?

Speaker 3 (14:07):
I haven't they hired a They hired a big name
band to play this fictional band in the movie.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Oh god, it's one of two. Mm I'm gonna say,
you know this guns n' Roses.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Ah, No, that is incorrect, that guns n' Roses one.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
He's inna They're in a Clint Eastwood movie. Damn it.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
The end.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
My other guest was Great White.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Ah, oh, you're close. It's White Lion. Damn it, White Lion.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
White Lion appears in the Money Pit.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, check it out. It's it's hilarious. He's in the
front negotiating with the manager, and the managers like, don't
give him money. You'll just confuse them. They've already got
too much money. They're used to being screwed over, so
don't give him this money. Okay, it's a hilarious scene.
But they're playing in the background doing like a video

(15:00):
shoot and it's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
So wow, okay, check it out. I mean I saw
that in the theater so long ago. I didn't. I
forgot that totally.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah. Wow okay, good quite lion, check it out. Good
question That scene is on is on YouTube? Oh so
check it out.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
I will. And you remember when Guns N' Roses when
is in one of those Dirty Harry movies. Yeah, yeah,
I forgot which one. It was one tour I think
with the last Dirty Harry movie whatever it was called,
but that yeah, they're appearing it. So okay, cool questioning one.
All mine are basically Sabbath related and back to the
from the beginning concert related okay, all right. In the concert,

(15:38):
which ran about ten plus hours, there was only one
song that was played twice. It's a Sabbath song. Name
the song, and I'll tell you which bands played it.
Rival Sons and Pantherea both played the same song.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Umm, shoot, I don't know, but I'm gonna guess iron Man.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Incorrect. The song they played was Electric Funeral really, but
they played it like eight hours apart. So the title
Suns played really early and pan Terri was towards the end,
so I don't think anybody even noticed or cared. They
played Wow cool.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah, that's a cool riff in that song. Yeah, great,
great riff.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Both bands did it really well. So yeah, okay, we're
both over one, all.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Right, oh for one or oh for two? Geez all right,
here we go. I don't know if you'll know this
or not, but if you do, then you'll get it.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
So correct.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Who was the original drummer of King Diamond.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I'm gonna say Mickey D.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
That is correct.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yes, I think because they're from the same country. That's
the only reason Mickey Mickey D has been around. And
I saw a video of King Diamond I still I mean,
I saw Merciful Fate live and I was probably one
of the worst conscious I've ever seen, just because King
Diamonds when he gets that high falsetto it just drives
me bonkers. He still does it. I mean, it's impressive

(17:08):
that he can do it, and he can still do
it today, but it bothers me within the context of
a heavy song. Hearing this, no, I can't stand no.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
But yeah, not a fan, not a fan.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm in the metal minority. There, but I just can't
take it, all right, so I'm one for two. All right, Okay,
you might get this one, but here, okay, what was
the reason for the legendary Birmingham based metal band Judas
Priest not performing at the back from the beginning concert?

(17:43):
There's a real good reason why they weren't there, Do
you know it? I don't because because KK was there
and he performed Breaking Law and he played a couple
of other songs, but Priest wasn't that they weren't there,
but there was a very good reason for them not
being there.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Uh uh. It's lame, but I'm gonna guess they were
on tour in the US or something.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Judas Priest was actually in Hanover, Germany, performing at the
sixtieth anniversary of Scorpions show, which was a hometown gig,
and it just happened to fall in the same damn day.
I mean, terrible, terrible timing, but yeah, same day. It
was like it was Scorpions Priest and Alice Cooper playing

(18:28):
in Hanover, their their hometown. And I think that one
was scheduled first and Priests committed to it, and then
when they had this Black Sabbath thing, they just put
it on the same day, which was a mistake. They
should have changed the day.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Man, that sucks.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
So that was the no.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
I know priests would have would have been there if
they could have.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, and seeing bits and pieces of it, I'm starting
to feel really bad for Klaus Mining because he's starting
to get like, what's that guy we've seen the video
of They just parade him out there and he's like fixed.
I mean, oh, fank Frankie.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Valley, Frankie Valley.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, where he's obviously just lip syncing and she she's
out there. He's like he's dying on stage. But class
Class had some back problems and he doesn't move like
he used to, and he's seventy five seventy six, and
he's starting to struggle vocally, starting to get a little.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yeah. I thought he was doing all right from from
what we've talked about before, but maybe he's gone down
hill pretty quick.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
I don't know. It's like, if I see Scorpions again,
I don't I think I'll be disappointed. So I don't
know if I want to see him again. The other
guys are playing, the band's great, and he's trying, but
you know, sometimes he just got to no One to
put it away.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah. Yeah, that's sad because that would be a bummer
to watch that. Yeah, so I don't know that I
would go see them. And they just did a residency
not long ago in Vegas, didn't they?

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah they did.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Hm.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
I mean you can see clips on YouTube and see
for yourself.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah. All right, so I'm over two. So question number
three for you. Jeff Scott Soto provided backing vocals on
which harm Scaram album?

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Wow, I didn't know he ever performed with him? Yep,
I'm gonna say believe.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
No. It was United from twenty seventeen. I didn't think
you'd get that one because that's pretty that's not as
a great album, but I.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Mean it makes sense that for him. I mean, he's
sang with everybody, but I didn't think he had a
But then again, he sang with everybody, so I didn't
think it had a connection.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Okay, that's a good.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
All right, So this one for three, Let's see if
I can tell you.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
This one's gonna be virtually impossible for you, but good luck, Okay, great,
all right, all right. There's one musician that was on
stage and he's not really a name guy. But he
was on the back from the beginning, and he has
a direct link with a member, a member of Yes
who's still alive today. Do you know who the guy

(21:08):
on stage was that has a direct connection to Yes?

Speaker 3 (21:10):
I know, Jeez, I have no clue.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
All right, I'll give you the answer. His name is
Adam Wakeman. He's Ozzy's keyboard player. Does that ring a back?

Speaker 3 (21:22):
Okay, so he's He's Wakeman's son.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
The son of Rick Wakeman, keyboard from Yes. Okay, but
I Adam Ye, I didn't know when all the people
on stage, he's the only one I didn't recognize, because
everybody on stage I pretty much know who they were,
but he's the only one I didn't.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
So that's and he's probably one of the best musicians
up there.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, he was when Ozzy was up there. He was
playing keys, anything with keys there, he was. He was
the one playing so okay, wow, Rick Wakeman's kid. Okay,
Adam Wakeman from the Ozzie band. Yeah, the Ozzie band
that was out there was Mike and this from Alison
Chains zach Uh, Tommy Klefttos was up there playing drums.

(22:04):
Who's a monster? I saw him in Dead Daisies. Good God,
that guy good Wow, that's why, that's why that he's
not playing with the Dead Daisies during their last tour
and they brought in the guy from Union to play
with Dead Dats. Oh yeah, he's filled in why that
band was going on. It's like, okay, well that makes sense. Yeah,

(22:25):
we're you gonna play with Black Sabbath in the last
show where he's to continue with the Dead Daisies, So yeah,
find a replacement for a month, and that's what they did.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
So yeah, yeah, really is John Robbie is still singing
with Dead Daisies?

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yep. Yeah. They just put out They put out a
blue They put out a rock album and a blues album.
I don't really care for the blues album that much
because it's pretty hardcore blues.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
It's okay, but the.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Rock album was really good. And they're very good live.
So when you do get a chance to see them,
go see them this fall. There's gonna be a lot
of shows coming up. I mean, I in one week,
I'm going to three shows, Like, oh it just worked
out that way.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Man, I saw that. That's that's not a killer week.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah. Sunday, the Sunday I'm going to see Marvelous three
in a small club in LA. It was like, and
then I'm seeing Michael Schenker in a club and oh,
what was the other one? I forgot already. I know
there's who else was it? Do you remember when I
wrote I.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Mean, let's see here. You sent it to me.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, I'm already forgetting, but I know it's on the
same week. Wow I happened? Oh, I know it was.
It was crazy licks who. It was never played out,
it was never played La before. They're playing the Whiskey.
I'm like, cool, I'll go. It's like when Danny and
I went to see Eclipse, Like, yeah, this is the
first and maybe the only time they ever play. I
think the week after, Buck Cherry and Michael Monroe were

(23:54):
playing two nights at the Whiskey. Oh wow, last time
Michael Monroe played, he sold out by himself and I
got two quality bands. Buck Cherry's really good live. I
some won't for skid Row. I mean I was.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, they're playing here at the Keswick in outside of
Philly on October twelfth. It's Sunday night. But I may
go just myself.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, I mean Buck Cherry, I mean I like them,
but I'm not a super super fan. I was impressed.
I mean they were tight, they were good, nice. I
mean the crowd was definitely into them. But that and
Michael Monroe, that's a lot of action on stage, so
they're not gonna be standing around looking at their shoes.
So yeah, and a Sunday night. Generally when bands, you

(24:38):
see bands playing like Sunday through Thursday, they don't go
on late. They go on pretty early because they know
people have that work.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
So yeah, I don't know, let me see if it
says when they're starting.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I don't know. I don't even tickets even on sale yet.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah, and there's plenty of seats. But this is the
show that's the place where you and I saw Mammoth.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah. Yeah, I don't see that selling out for them,
but I see a nice, small, rowdy crowd as long
as you're close.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Michael Schenker's playing the same place September seventeenth.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah, he's playing all Ufo, which is yeah. I think
Robin McCauley's gonna be singing.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
That that's okay.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
And I'm seeing him in a small club because he's
playing a theater in Beverly Hills like the night after
and I'm going to see the Canyon Club and a
tiny holds like my four hundred people. It's like, that's
gonna be cool.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Well, if you go see him, go see here. The
opening guy is Jared James Nichols, and I saw him
open for Queen's Right and he was great, really good.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Okay, heard of these check him out, all right, you
know me, I always checked the openers because you never
know who you're gonna get. Yeah, and went from Mammoth
we saw Nita Strauss and she was freaking awesome. Oh yeah,
and very hot and very hot too. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Jeff Tate's playing at the Casswick. Also Slaughter and John
five and Richie Cottson are playing there.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
So they're playing together.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
That's gonna be it's gonna be a lot of notes
that night. Yeah, John five z they're two, they're two
and together.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Oh that's cool because John five Zach and the Creatures.
It's all instrumental, but he does some cool things where
he plays all these cover bits and he's in a
ridiculously great guitar player. Can play anything from like country
the speed metal, he can play at all.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, okay, And on that note, let's do go to
commercial and come back with six and thirty is a
human number. It's number is six.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
All right, welcome back time for some six and thirty,
where we play five second clips of six different songs
with a theme. And Mark has already mentioned that his
is Black Sabbath related. I'm guessing their cover tunes, but.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
What did you know?

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Just a guess. So I'll go ahead and play play
the one you said and we can go from there.
All right, let's see what we got.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
En rolls gathered in their messes. So sad.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Wow, Yeah, pretty different. Call one is gonna be actually impossible.
Maybe two of them are super hard and then yeah,
I'll Banji Kardoff for sure.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
I think I've got three maybe four? Okay, the other
two should lord, I don't, I don't know, I even
have a guess. Let's listen to one more time.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
En rolls gathered in the mess.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
I feel so sad wow.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Okay, all right, well let's go the first one. I'm
gonna I'm pretty sure that's no more. You'd be correct, sir, right,
Number two, I definitely know that's Anthrax two for two
Number three, No, not even a guess. I can get

(29:15):
no idea.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yeah, this one the hardest one. It is a name.
It was a guy's last name who's a super shredder.
He has his own band and his last name is
the band.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Oh that Italian name Impellitary.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yep, that'd be correct.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Oh okay, so you're still two for three Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
More. Four is the weird one.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Number four, I'm gonna guess is that Smashing Pumpkins.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Incorrect? Dang it. It is an early eighties band that
when they played, they had a very it's a very
Scottish or Irish feel to him. They had a big
hit and the big hit was the name of their band.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
When they were a Scottish band.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Their Scottish or Irish one of the two. But that
had that that bad And it's weird that they would
cover this two words in a big, big country correct.
Number four is big Country covering paranoid? Who knew what? Yes?

Speaker 3 (30:25):
I would never have thought they would covering No, I
get it. Number five. I listened to this one. This
is Crocus correct, even without the vocals. I remember they
that was on their cover album or whatever it was called. Yep, correct,
You're got three out five and the last one. Uh

(30:46):
the vocalist sounds really familiar. A metal band, right, Yes,
a thrash metal band. Yeah, overkill?

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Wow? Who got it New Jersey's phone? Over killed phone?
Four of six? You crush this, Damn. I thought maybe
you get three at the bet best. No, you killed
it four out of six. You already won, already won
this bit. I'm pretty sure I.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Don't know mine. Mine is not hard. You you know
all of these bands, like, none of these bands are
obscure at all.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, but when you say that, I usually tank it
out of pure pressure. That doesn't anything.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
Let's see of these bands I have. I have seen three.
I think you've probably seen three or four. Okay, one
of what you and I saw together. Okay, that could
be one of eighty bands. Okay, Uh so let's go
ahead and play this. The theme is as hot as

(31:54):
it's freaking been here, and it's been up in the
nineties with like two hundred percent he adity. All these
songs have heat. The word heat in the title.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Okay, all right, play along at home with me, because
I'm sure I'm gonna tank this one.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
I started off strong and in the last three I tanked.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Man, as I'm listening to it, I made it way
too easy. But that's I guess because I know who
they are.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
But yeah, I'm not going to get all these all right,
I'll try again here, play along with me, all right. Uh,

(33:30):
some of them I know for sure I got them easy.
But the other one I don't know if the people
on the podcasts then are gonna get these. They're pretty tough.
First one was probably the easiest one. That was Black
and Blue.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
Ye love that whole album. Love it.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Number two is an obscure cut from Deaf Leopard.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Yeah, that's correct. That's from their first strike EP.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, most people don't know that song, but we're back,
We're geeks.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
That was called heat Street.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Yeah, never made I don't think.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
I don't think he actually says heat street anywhere in
the song. I listened to it a number of times
thinking does he actually say heat Street? But he does not.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Yeah, I mean the song is okay, but never made
an album. So number three that is the band that
we saw together opening for Cheap Trick. That is acts.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
That's correct.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
And I saw Axe also open up for Motley Cruz.
First shout at the Devil Show really Santa Monica Civic,
and after that I never saw Acts again. They just
kind of disappeared after that.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Yeah, they were they're good.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
They were good. I think one of their band members
passed died in a motorcycle accent or something like that,
and that that's kind of a band kind of broke
up and went their separate ways. Bobby Bartham end up
ended up fronting Blackfoot for a while.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
So oh really okay?

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, Number four sounds definitely a or I I have
no idea this is a super guest. Is that air race? Ah? No,
that is not.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
This band kind of made me think of the theme
in general.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, Heat, Yes, it's correct. Yeah, okay, I should have
gain H A T.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
I guess I don't know what h A T stands for,
but they always go by heat.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
But yeah, I don't think it stands for anything but
good band though. Oh even both lead singers. They started
out with one guy and then Eric Grunwal came in,
and Eric Grunwall left and the old guy came back
and they're still good, all right. Number five. I don't
know why I wrote this down. I wrote the word
Toyota down for some reason, Like, what the hell am

(35:52):
I to? I wrote it down, but I was thinking
of something else, and I'm what was I thinking?

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (35:58):
What the heck was that? I know it's not Toyota,
but I wrote the word Toyota on the piece of paper.
Makes no freaking sense. I don't remember who the hell
it was. Oh, Tokyo Blade. No, No, that's not it
I wrote. I wrote Toyota instead of Tokyo Blade. All right,

(36:20):
I'm no three for.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Five, Damn, that's a Canadian three piece triumph No Anvil
heat sing, I can't think.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Damn, I still think of Animal as a four piece
even though they are a three piece. And all right,
the last one.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
I was, I was gonna use a King Cobra song
that heat.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
I think it's called Field the Heat or something. I
don't know. But then I saw Anvil, thought, now use
that one.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Yeah, you always give me.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
I'd already chosen the last song, so.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yeah, you you always kill me in the Anvil songs.
Because I only know four Anvil songs. Yeah, but they
all sound the same. So okay, number six. This is
a guess. I think this is a New England demo.
Am I right?

Speaker 3 (37:12):
That is correct? Yeap a song called Heat of the Ocean.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Which is funny because I think I sent them to
you and I don't even have them anymore, so oh really, yeah,
I don't. I looked online. I don't even have so
I have to reget those from you.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Probably might might have to put them up there for you.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Them because they put out a They put out a
CD called nineteen seventy eight which was mostly demos and
you can't even find that anymore, and I don't think
I even have that, so I have to look around anyway.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
So let me see what that was from. It was
from a box set New England Archives box from twenty nineteen. Jesus, Okay,
it's like a five CD thing.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yeah, I remember that coming out. For some reason, I
didn't save it. So okay, so I went four for
six and for four for six, so we tied.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
You were three percent, No, you were four that's right.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yeah. So it's a last push, so it goes all
it comes all the way down to the last bit,
which is called cover this and Danny's promised that he
has a great cover, and I think I have a
great cover, but I think Danny's gonna get my cover
based on the vocals, so we're gonna find.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
Out, so right, I go ahead. I like my cover
that I picked. I don't know if many people know
this or not, but maybe you do, and if you do,
then you'll get it right away.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Yeah, the one I picked, I didn't know and I
was surprised when I heard it. But I think it'll
be easy for you based on the vocals. So how
about we go to quick break and come back with
cover this time to cover with this? All right, boys

(39:05):
and girls, we're back for the last bit of the show.
This has covered this. We'll play a thirty second clip
of an obscure cover from a band you probably know,
And sometimes the band covering is a really known band
or a real obscure band you just don't know what
you're gonna get. But this week is a very surprising
cover that I found. And the theme of all my

(39:28):
Stuff is pretty much from the same band, so it'll
be pretty obvious who the original artist is, but the
band covering it is quite the surprise. So go ahead,
Danny and play that cover.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Let's scare it just that's hard that well, it's definitely

(40:15):
iron Man from Black Sabbath, but the covering band geez uh,
I'm gonna guess just on the vocalist that adds sixpence
none the richer.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
No, I've never heard of that band, but I can get.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
That they did the song kiss Me, kiss Me.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Okay, I did remember this. The band is playing this
is it's a European band and we have talked about
this band at least one or two times on this
show previously.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
And it's a band, not an artist.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
It's a band obviously with a female lead singer, but
it's a band. And either you've given me a song
from this band or I've given you song from this
band before. And the woman singing is very attractive.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
Is it like a Scottish band? The only other European
band that sounds like that with a vocalist, uh, girl
vocalist The Cardigans.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
That'd be correct. Oh jeez, Swedish band the Cardigans Love Me,
Love Me, say that you love me? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (41:27):
Yeah, they have.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
They have a hard edge to them because if you
see some of their other music, it's a little heavier.
But them doing a cover of Iron Man just blew
me away, I'm like, really, yeah, that's crazy and it
kind of works well, it's completely different. So yeah, you
got this beautiful all right, Well that was a good one. Yeah,
beautiful Swedish woman singing iron Man. Okay, take it. And

(41:54):
it's on the same album as their big hit, their
big US hit, but I guess they had more hits
in Europe it yeah, really, Okay, So that's a surprising cover. Huh.
So I'm imagine is surprising as well.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
Well, you said uh in the intro that we usually
pick an obscure song. That's the opposite of what I did.
This is the band, the covering band's biggest hit, but
it's a cover tune. Okay, So go ahead and go
ahead and play and see what you think. All right,
here we go if you know who who originally recorded it.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
So it's a trick then, isn't it. Yes, Yes, Danny's
tricking me again.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
Every everybody knows who this covering band because it was
their biggest hit and they're a huge band.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
So okay, all right, go.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
Ahead, got it.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
I'm got him.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Got on kind of scene.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
That she's.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
She's alright. So the covering band is Santana feature Greg
greg Rally on vocals, and this black Magic Woman. I

(43:27):
kind of did know that was a cover, but I
have no idea who the original artist is.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
It was released in nineteen sixty eight, so.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
The the original was and they origin the original and
they just did it like a year later or something
like that.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
Like yeah, something, I think it was seventy or seventy two.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Something like that kind of happened quite a bit in
their sixties and seventies, where somebody would record it and
then somebody would recorded again if it wasn't a big hit.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
Yeah, like right away it was weird.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Oh God, is the person who originally recorded it? Somebody
I would know the band?

Speaker 3 (44:07):
Yeah, the original Yeah, absolutely know the original band.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
So it's somebody who had a career that I know.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
They They were gigantic, really gigantic.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
Wow, God, nobody really comes to mind. Gigantic bigger than Santana, yep. Wow.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
But this song was not bigger for them for them,
geez yeah, but for.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
I'm trying to think of big.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
You know that that Caribbean kind of feel that had
that Santana has was not in the originally, so I
think they Yeah, I think that made a big difference.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Okay, I'm gonna say something like Fleetwood Mac Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Wrong, No, that was right. You did you know it
and just bullshitting.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
No, I didn't know because I knew fleet I knew
Fleetwood Mac had a career, but they weren't anybody until
seventy six, seventy five and yeah, but Stevie Nixon. But
I didn't know that was Fleetwood Mac.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
Yeah, because that was written It was written by Peter Green.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Okay, yep, I did not know that it was a
total kiss.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
Sorry, I gave you way too many hints. I should
have shut my mouth.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Because you said ginormous. I was thinking, God, is it
somebody like the Yardbirds? But the yards were Was it
led Zeppelins? Like, no, it wasn't. Led Zeppelin was a
grand Funk, but you know it's not Grand Funk. So
I was trying to think of all bands that were bigger.
I knew Fleetwood Mac was bigger later and I knew
they had weird with Peter Green and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
Yeah, they were like really the blues based and the
original version of Black Magic Woman is like a blues song. Yeah,
the melody is the same, but all the backing tracks,
you know, completely different, between Fleetwood Mac and Santana.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Yeah, and I think Peter Green left and then Bob
Welch took his place and they were something from there,
and then Bob Welch left and it was Buckingham Nicks
came in and that's when they blew up later. Yeah,
that was that was a total guess.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
Oh geez, well it was a good guess.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Yeah, you pull a rabbit out of the hat. But
that was a good one. I don't think anybody else
is gonna get that either.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
Yeah, it's not It was not a well known song
by by Fleetwood Mac and like we said, they recorded
it just a couple of years later.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Wow. Okay, well I guess see what that means, right?

Speaker 3 (46:53):
I know, you get all the money from this episode.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Yes, I collect all the money all the money we
make off of this episode, which is virtually nothing. But

but I cannot wait for football season. College football football
