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

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Broadcasting from California and Delaware. This is the Hard Rocking
Trivia Show, and here're your host, Mark and Danny.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Alright, boys and girls, welcome to the Hard Rock and
Trivia Show. It is September twoenty and twenty five. Episode
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
I want to say, like to eighty eight or to
eighty nine, something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I think you're in the ballpark there, getting.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Close to three hundred. We'll have to do something special
for three hundred. I don't know what, But.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Now do the show naked.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, well, that's fine, except that we're the only ones
that see each other and I don't want to see that.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I don't want to see you naked either, So just
a little on a little technical note here. This is
the first time we were using riverside to record a show,
and I'm also doing it on my laptop, so if
the audio seems a little off, it's a work in progress.
Giving it a shot this way. I had bought a

(01:41):
new computer, but mister dumbass here busted the screen and
had to take it back in for repairs. So I'm
doing this on a twelve year old laptop. So wow,
Sorry people, out there in podcast land. It's not going
to be the greatest sounding thing ever, but we'll try
our best.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well. I think they're probably offended.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Maybe all one hundred of you out there, all across
the world are offended. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna improve
your day. Here. We're gonna first, we're gonna what we're
gonna do on the show is we're gonna do a
review of the Rainbow Bar and Grill Bash twenty twenty five,
which happened Sunday, August thirty, first couple weeks ago, and

(02:28):
yours truly went woo. So here are the bands that
were on the line up there. I'll start from the
begin opening bands and go all the way to the headliner.
Somebody called Broken Ravens played, I'm guessing their local and
never heard of them. After that it was Blaize Francisco again,

(02:50):
didn't wasn't there yet, didn't see them. Then Bonnie Break played,
woh Bonnie whoever Bonnie Break is. I'm gonna guess the
first three local bands because this thing started at one
in the afternoon and I wasn't gonna be there from
one to about nine thirty ten o'clock at night, So
the wife and I got there at five in the afternoon.

(03:11):
And this was in Hollywood, right behind the Roxy and
in between the Rainbow and the parking lot. If you've
seen Cheech and Chunks up in Smoke when they're sitting
in the van hanging out behind the Roxy, that's the
same place, all right. And after that a band we've
actually heard of played. I didn't get to see, but

(03:33):
you can see it on YouTube from Canada. The Killer
Dwarves played Killer Dwarves. Now, if I wouldn't have gone
with my wife, I would want earlier to see the
Killer Dwarves because I actually like them, but I wasn't
going to put my wife through this. She's not into
this kind of music at all. So I missed the
Killer Dwarves kind of bummed, but you can see it

(03:54):
on YouTube. After Killer Dwarves was a band that I
have seen before on the Generations Swine tour. They opened
for Motley Crue. And this is a group called head Pe.
You ever heard of them. No, They're kind of a
wrap rock thing and I don't remember being that into
them when I saw them back in the day, so

(04:15):
I wasn't really going to go out of my way
to see them. But they do have their fans. I'm
just not one of them. And now, since I got
there at five o'clock, this place was packed. So when
you get there, tickets are free kind of. You have
to pay a thirty dollars entrance fee for drink tickets

(04:36):
and food tickets, so you get so you basically we
paid sixty bucks to get in. Thirty bucks to get
in to see all these bands. It's worth it. And plus,
if you want two drinks, you get two drinks. We
got three drinks and a slice of pizza for sixty dollars.
But we were entertained, so it was totally worth it.

(04:58):
So we have this, I think twice a year, So
if you're ever in the area and they do it,
go because it is fun. But it is crowded a
lot of interesting looking people there, you know, dressed in
interesting garb.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well it is a Hollywood trip, so it is, and.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
You know, I don't really look like it fit in there,
but then again there are people kind of looked like
me too, but hey, we were there for the music
and the music was good. Can't complain. So the first
act we saw was a guy named Michael Graves. You
ever heard of him.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Actually, that name sounds familiar.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
He was the replacement lead singer for The Misfits in
the nineties. Okay, so when Glenn Danzig was doing his
Danzig band and the Misfits kind of got back together
with some of the guys. Michael Graves was the lead singer. Okay,
I think it's from the Philly Baltimore area originally, but

(05:58):
it's a four piece band. I only knew one song
that they played, and that was so what that Metallica
covered and they all had the corpse grinder face paint on.
I mean, it looks really evil and five o'clock and
it's about ninety degrees out there and it's super light,

(06:18):
and they had those guys. These guys were sweating their
buns off. It kind of felt bad for him. But
surprisingly enough, this Michael Graves guy can actually sing, and
he sings quite well. And the band was really entertaining,
even though I didn't really know their music. It's kind
of the horror punk Ramones type thing. Kind of the
speed and I mean nothing technical where they're doing like

(06:42):
Ingveay Mountain Steam Solos had a good three four minute
punchy punk not pop really but punk songs. It was good.
I liked it. The crowd kind of enjoyed it too.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Michael.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
We were kind of back and enjoying. My wife had
an adult beverage which was heavy on the alcohol, so
she was already buzzing, goes. I kind of feel kind
of good. Now, okay, all right, hey, After a surprisingly
good set for Michael Graves, you know, we went up
front to see a band that's oh, actually Michael Graves.

(07:18):
I take that back. He's from the New Jersey area
because the Trickster guys referenced this. So the next band
was up Trickster. So in between the sets, the wife
and I went up went up front. We were probably
right behind the barrier, probably second person, so we were
pretty darn clothes for Trickster. And then in the change

(07:38):
of bands, the band's right out there changing changing their
equipment out so and Trickster was a four piece back
in the day, but now they're just basically a three piece.
It's U PJ, the original bass player who's also in
Fozzy and Quarantine and probably a couple other bands. And
Steve Brown, who's also been a filling guy for def

(08:01):
Leppard and their drummer let me see if I got
the drummer's name down here, and he was really good.
But he looks like he's a shop teacher, but he
was excellent. Oh, his name is Ben Hans. Apparently he's
an instructor at the Nashville Music Academy. Okay, so Trickster

(08:22):
comes out. Let me see some of the songs. I
wrote down some of the songs that played here, since
I know you're a Trickster fan. Yeah, Tattoos and Misery,
which is a newer song, that's what they started with.
They did Harder, steal line of Fire, one in a million, Surrender,
rocking Horse and give It to Me good. Okay, what
I was surprised with in the PJ not PJ, excuse me. Yeah,

(08:48):
PJ sang lead on some songs, Steve sang lead on
some other songs, and in the harmonies, all three guys
sang together. N no tapes, no, nothing, sounded great, played great.
These guys were in a really good mood and they
went down pretty well. I was really surprised how in fact,
how good they were. Yeah, because it's now there's no

(09:11):
Pete Lauren there to sing vocals, but it really you
didn't miss it because the drummer sang all vocals in
the background too, so it totally works. So if you
see Trickster in a small club anywhere around you, it's
worth seeing. And they do play stuff off of Here,
and they brought it up because I know you love
that album.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh yeah, that's my top top ten anyway.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
And they did play here song and I think I
sent you the recording of it, but I don't remember
the name of the song.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Sorry about that rocking Horse?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Is that the one that yeah, went down like a storm?
And at the end of the video he talks right
into my camera.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Is kind of cool because I don't want to be
one of those guys who films every damn song and
a show. I'll film one song and put my phone down.
I'm not going to the whole. But there's people around
us we filming every song in every set and then
they put it up on YouTube, which was It's okay.
But I don't want to be that guy. I'm there
for the experience. I want to feel the music.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah. When I when I saw Queen's Rich a few
months ago, there was a guy right behind me. I
was right up against the barrier and you know, not
a big deal because there were hardly anybody there. But
there's a guy behind me watching the show through his
phone the entire show, and you know, finally, you know,

(10:30):
I was getting pissed. But then I thought, why don't
I care if this guy misses the whole show and
sees it through a three by four inch screen, Why
do I care? But anyway, it was annoying.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
I was just like, yeah, defeats the experience. You want
to feel the music, if the music moves you anyway,
you want to be able to jump up and down,
throw your hands in the air. But if you're sitting
there focused on your camera and holding it steady.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
It's not very dramatic on your phone.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
It's cool to watch it back. But I'm there for
the experience.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, I mean some on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Right, I'm there to have a good time. And then,
you know, a lot of these bands that we love,
you know, they're not gonna be around forever. There there
are some newer bands coming out, but eventually, yeah, it
was live music old back in ten years, we'll.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Need to we'll need to talk about some of these
bands that shouldn't be around. Yeah, because I've seen some
videos recently.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, we know they are.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
All right, so after Trickster, so so far Michael Graves
was really good. Trickster was really good. Happy we call
it happy metal. You know, no downers here, good mood,
happy metal. Right, Okay, then then you know the band
chains over. So you see the guys in Bullet Boys
changing over. And there's there's Mark Torren, who's got kind

(11:56):
of a reputation to be kind of a hard guy
to get along with. Yeah, I've had interactions with them,
but always been pretty positive, but I can see how
he kind of rubs people the wrong way. So now
in his this is probably the thirty eighth version of
the Bullet Boys. I've seen the original band, and I've

(12:17):
seen various formations. There seems like there's a different guy
in it every week. But you know, they've always sounded
pretty good. So Mark's working on his monitor and all that,
and you can hear the hum already, And I told,
I told my wife, he says this is going to
be really loud. You can already hear the hum and
he hasn't even played anything. Yeah, so the Bullet Boys

(12:42):
now is just two original guys, Mark and Lonnie Vincent
and the other guys in the band. I never heard
of this drummer. His name is Fred eight Akin or Aiken,
I don't know. And the guitar player is a guy
named Jake Fawn. Apparently this guy has played with David Lee, Roth,

(13:02):
Selena Gomez and he has subbed for Red Beach and Winger.
Never heard him. Excellent player, all the guys in the
band excellent musicians. Band starts to play. Mark's guitar was
so freaking loud. You could barely hear the vocals. He's
so loud, He's so much louder than the rest of

(13:23):
the band. Yes, he can play, but it was almost excruciating.
Sylvia turns around to me and goes, I can't hear
him sing it all because his guitar was so freaking loud.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Was it? You were still up in the front, right, Oh?

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah we were. What's that? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:50):
He shouldn't have There's no reason to have that level
of stage volume.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
And the guy's a great player, and it's obvious, and
he is a really good singer, but he's drowning himself
out because he's playing too loud. Yeah, and he's drowning
out the other guy's in the band, so you know
that's an issue. But did they sound good? Yeah? Would
they have sound better if they were playing out the
level Trickster was. Because Trickster he could hear every instrument,

(14:20):
every vocal, it was clean, and it wasn't. I mean
I was literally I'm standing behind Sylvia and yelling in
her ear and she could not hear me at all.
Damn I couldn't hear myself yelling. It was ridiculous. But
here's some of the songs they played. Okay, they played,
Oh did I get them and get them all? No?

(14:42):
Actually I don't think I did. Highlights. The one time
Mark didn't play guitar was on hang on Saint Christopher,
which is on the second album. Funny part of that song,
I don't know if you know that one, No, I don't.
He does a little shimmy shake dance and he's shaking

(15:03):
his hips and dancing to the song and it looks
really interesting, and Sylvia turns around to me, he goes.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Is he gay?

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I don't think he is, but it looked really and
my wife was mimicking his hit moves. So that would
say every time I hear that song now, I'm gonna
think of that experience, which is a positive. Okay, that
sounds song. I really like that song. It's actually a
cover of a Tom Waite song. It's on the second

(15:34):
album Freak Show. Sounded really good. They did I think
they the second to last song before they do smooth Up.
They did a cover of a Van Halen song Everybody
Wants You, and you can actually see them doing it online.
Sounded really good. But again Mark's damn guitar was too loud,

(15:57):
so it kind of ruined the experience a little bit
because the band act he was quite good, and it
would have been better to just turn it down just
a little bit. And Mark, if you hear me, just
turned down just a little bit. Great singer, great player, just.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Turned it down.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
He was annoying, but people were into it. They were good.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
I went. I know you're probably not gonna believe me,
but I went and saw Dwight Yoakum, who of my
of when I get My Country on. I really liked
Dwite Yoakam, He's one of my favorites. But we went
and saw him up in Pennsylvania somewhere, and that's we
were up in the balcony and all we heard was

(16:37):
his guitar and his band started and it was like cool,
this is good. And then he walked out and started playing,
like holy crap. He was just like twice as loud
as anybody else, and that's all you heard. The whole
entire show was.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
His ant Either he whites it that way or the
sound man needs to be fired.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, yeah, you don't know. It's It was great show,
but good lord, he was loud.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Remember when we saw Jakie Lee play. Yeah, if you're
on one side of the stage, you couldn't hear him play,
and we had to move to the other side to
actually hear him. Yeah, it was weird.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, they the sound guy needs to be fired because
all that should be miked up and coming through the mains.
You should not have your stage volume so freaking loud
that you can't hear anything.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah. Oh we can't hear to hear Jake play, and
all we hear is the bass and drums of what
the hell is going on?

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah yeah, I remember looking back at the sound guy saying,
turn the guitar.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Up, Danny, given that face, what didn't throw his hands
in the air. What the hell, Jake? He's a legend.
We can't hear him all right now onto the headliner,
which was Winger Winger, and I was surprised to find
out that this might be the last Winger show ever. Really,

(18:05):
they're going on hiatus, and they said, we don't know
if we're coming back, but you know, we're gonna go
do some other things because everybody's busy in that band.
They got, you know, Kip does his classical music stuff
and I think that is a teach teaches drums, and
the other guys are got various projects, so they're all

(18:25):
super busy. So being that it might be the last
Winger show, I was kind of glad I was there
because it's a band I've really liked in the past.
Oh yeah, Kip is still the original group, right, it
was the original five. Yeah, that's crazy, which lately you

(18:45):
see if it's usually only the original four plus John Roth,
who also plays with Starship Sometimes. I guess maybe Starship
pays him a little bit more so when he has conflicts,
he does Starship and Howie Simon comes in and takes
his spot when Winger plays. But for this show, since
it was their last, they had all five guys there.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah. I when my wife went to see work Springfield
down at the Delaware State Fair. Starship opened and he
was the guitar player. Yeah, because I asked who the
guitar player is and she said some I don't know,
some guy John Roth. I was like, WHOA, okay.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, John Roth can really play and sing. Oh yeah,
they call when Kit called him the utility guy. And
during the show we saw this because I guess Kip
wasn't feeling that great and he said so and he
could see sometimes he would look over John and says,
you take it. And John would sing with him to

(19:44):
help Kip out with some of the vocals, but about
halfway through Kip held it on. But they all depend
on each other because out of the five guys in
the band, four of them are singing.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Again, no backing tapes whatsoever. And John Roth also played
bass on a song. Rev played bass on a song
What's that? Let me go through the songs and I'll
tell you what happened. So they started with a brand
new song, stick the Knife and Twist. It was just

(20:19):
off the last album they did, seventeen, Can't Get Enough,
Down in Cognito, Miles Away, Rainbow in the Rose. During
the guitar solo. Sylvia said she saw Kip go off
to the bathroom and when the band came back Kick
I mean Rev was doing his solo, and then the

(20:40):
other four guys would come back on stage. And at
that point John Roth was playing bass, and they went
into a song called black Magic, and the four of
them played and it was really good, but John Roth
is playing bass. Interesting enough. Then they did Time to Surrender,
a drum solo, and then the song I Know You
Like Midnight Driver in a Love Machine. Yeah, they did

(21:03):
heading for a Heartbreak, Easy Come, Easy Go Madeline, and
Uh finished it off with the Van Halen cover You
Van Halen cover. Kip took the mic, Reb switched the bass.
Howie Simon came out, who is the guy who usually

(21:25):
subs for John Ross. So Howie came out, and then
the Bullet Boys guitarist came out, Jake Foum, who used
to sub for Reb when Reb went to Whitesnake. So
now you have all seven guys who have actually played
in Winger on the State on the same stage at
the same time.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Nice especially going to be their last show.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
If it's gonna last, the last show, you got every
guy who's ever played in Winger. On stage, Kit points
to Howie and they start playing Ain't Talking about Love
by van Halen?

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Get to the first chorus, he's singing, what does Kip Do?
Sticks his mic out right in front of me, and
I sing it back to him. I didn't choke it
back to him, and there is video of it. I'm
the big white headed guy thirty four seconds in. I
didn't screw it up, and he did it with some

(22:19):
other people. But you know, obviously La van Halen's song
it went down and yours truly didn't screw it up.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
I don't, at least I don't think I didn't.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
The video you sent me was fine, yeah, and you
had like what one second?

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, I was like a couple of words. But I
knew the song and so I didn't screw it up.
But it was a lot of It was a lot
of fun. It was pretty packed. Everybody was into the bands.
Good time had by all nice And when exiting the venue,
I did see a rock star. I saw Michael Battio. Oh,

(22:59):
Michael angela bodyo from Man of War. Man of War's
Man of War Now okay, yeah, he used to be
in I don't think he wears a nightclub he's an
old guy.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Well I didn't. I didn't know if he was wearing
a loincloth.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
I don't think so. I think he just wears a
little leather. Okay, but he is in Man of War now,
and him and and his wig were there. Okay, Yeah,
he looked like he looked the same. I've seen him
actually play. I saw Nitro. Nitro was a terrible band.
But watching Michael do that thing with the double next
one point one point right and there's like four guitar

(23:38):
it is impressive. But the problem with Nitro is, yeah,
great players, but no songs. Yeah. So, but I don't
know how he's doing Man of War. I'm guessing doing.
They're doing all the hits in Man of War.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
So yeah, that's interesting because I thought Man of War
was kind of the guitar players band.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Now it's the bass it's the bass player.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Jameo.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Jameo is the bass player. Does like the was it
Williams overture?

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, I've heard I've heard that. I saw I saw
him doing when I saw Man of War, but I
thought it was the Ross the Boss's band.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
No, Joey is the leader okay, and it's only Joe
and Eric Adams are the only twour left. But Man
of War huge in Italy and Europe, played clubs in
the States, so yeah, kind of like WASP huge in
Europe here small medium sized clubs. But interesting about what

(24:38):
when we bagged down WASP a couple of years ago,
or that the last tour because they're faking everything. But
now that the last WASP tour, they're playing live and
singing live, so I guess they they hurt everybody and
said not of that.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
So yeah, enough of that crowd. Nobody wants to see that,
especially when Blackie Law was looking like a grandma.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, but they actually, you know, when they when they
actually sang and played for real, everything was quite good.
So they ever come back around, I'd actually go see
him because I know it's not fake anymore.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah. Well, I don't know. When we saw him in
them three, I wasn't so much worried about being fake.
It was just that he looked like a grandma, and
they they played so much of the Crimson idol type stuff.
It was just like, oh, come on.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, they well they were they were kind of celebrating it.
But on this last tour. They were celebrating the debut album,
which is, to me, their best stuff, so that would
have been something to see.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
But yeah, I liked them up through the Electric circus.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah. And on the way, my wife has one rock
star shirt. It's an Ell Elo. That's her concert shirt,
which was by the way, so we're sitting down there
at the show. It could barely walk. My feet and
knees were killing me because we've been staying then for
six hours. Right, And the guitar player from the Michael
Graves band, who since took his face paint off, saw

(26:07):
my wife's shirt and went, hey, good band. I don't
expect the guy who's been playing Misfits song to give
a thumbs up to Elo, but hey, stranger things have happened.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Was a great band.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Aar. So they got fans everywhere, including guys who play
Misfits tunes. Nice all right, And on that note, we're
gonna do a quick commercial break and we're gonna be
back and Danny and I are gonna go through. Uh.
We don't have a name for the segment, but it's
gonna be like five successful bands that we can't understand
why they're successful. We just don't get it. We're gonna

(26:42):
get into that.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
All right, Welcome back, everybody. We're gonna do a bit.
I guess this really isn't a bit. It's just something
we came up with last time where we wanted to
talk about five bands that we don't understand why they're
so freaking big. And yeah, I was thinking about this,
and there's a ton ton of bands, but we're gonna

(27:04):
just do our top five that we've thought of in
the past couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
So yeah, it could be bands or solo artists or critics,
darlings or whatever. Yeah, adic, yeah, I don't know what
Danny's five are and I got my.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Five, so yeah, well i'll go I'll go first with
my number five. And I think this may be just
because I saw him last week. He played at the
Grand Opper House in Wilmington, one of the first shows
of the season, and that is George Thoroughgood, and I
know everybody loves him and he you know, he's got

(27:39):
a pretty good following and they're all big time drinkers
and part of his his thing with the Grand was
we had to shut the bar down when the when
the show started, and it was all because he didn't
want a bunch of drunk people at his show. And
I get that, but when your whold, when your whole

(27:59):
shit is one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer or
I drink alone, you may you may be promoting it yourself.
But I went in and watched him for about three songs,
and I couldn't tell the songs apart. You know, he
ended one song and the next one started. I'm like,
wait a minute, that he just played this. And so

(28:23):
one of the other bartenders, as I was walking out, said, oh,
you're not gonna stay with the whole show. I said, no,
I heard eight bars, I'm ready to go.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
So yeah, a lot of his songs, A lot of
his hits do sound very similar.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah, they're all blues.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
We all know them. Yeah, bad to the bone, I
drink alone.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeahd one bourbon, one scotch, one beer. Yeah, everybody knows them.
But I don't know, maybe it's just kind of hit
me wrong. And I at the time I was doing
this list, I just thought, that's one guy. I don't
understand why he's as big as he is, but he's
a big deal around here because he's from Delaware. He
went to Hey, I do Piny High School up in

(29:09):
North Wilbington.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Okay, well I don't think he's that big around here,
but he could probably play a big club here and
he probably gets more airplay where you're at. Yeah, he's
got a super long career. But oh I can't stand
bad to the Bone now because when I was in
the Army, that's the song they woke us up to
every day four a m. We hear that guitar. That's

(29:36):
why I can't. I don't like that song anymore, even
though I do like some of his stuff, but I
don't go out of my way to listen to it. Yeah,
not my thing, but yeah, he got to give it
to him. He's built a career out of it.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
But oh yeah, yeah, it's funny you say that about
the song. You know, I have an issue with the
song Yesterday from the Beatles. It's not my favorite song,
which I know it is a great, great song. But
when I was like two or three years old, when
I was going to daycare or school or whatever it was,

(30:11):
that was the song that we had to go take
a nap too. They would put that song on and
it had just come out. It was a brand new song.
So these girls that were watching over us playing the
latest hit, and that was it, and I just, oh.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
That's weird.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, good brainwashed it yesterday fifty five years ago.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
But hey, I don't want to take a nap.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
I'm not tired.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Wow, okay, yeah, I learned something new to Well, there
you go, all right, my number five. This guy's a legend.
Everybody talks about what a great songwriter he was. They
made a movie about him recently. I've heard it's a
good movie. I don't want to see it. In the sixties,
he could actually sing. By the early eighties, he can't sing.

(31:03):
And he still sings today and he can't sing it all.
I'm talking about Bob Dylan. Yeah, people still go to
see him live, but he can't sing.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
He like, yeah, his singing is so horrible now.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
He's like Tom Petty. If Tom Patty couldn't sing. Yeah,
Tom Petty's not a great wasn't a great singer. But
at least we can understand Tom Petty exactly. And I
lay Lady Ley and Knocking on Heaven's Door great songs.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
He's a great songwriter. But maybe he should have stuck
to the writing and let other people record his song exactly. Yeah,
great song.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
He's a legend and people still go he sells out
everywhere he goes. But I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Sorry, that's a good one. Okay, not on my list,
but I totally agree. All right, Number four on my
last A band that sells out all over the world,
and I don't get it. I won't go see them.
I have no interest in seeing them.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
It's Oasis, really Oasis. They just sold out the Rose
Bowl here.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah, oh yeah, they could sell out wherever they want to. Nope,
I don't get it. I don't enjoy their songs. You know,
Dylan was at least a great songwriter.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
I yeah, I don't know how they got so huge,
and they're mostly huge in England and Europe. And I
admit I have like two of their albums. Actually they
am all but there's one album I really like, and
I like wonder Wall, and I like some o the
others Champagne super Nova, but I've listened to their other

(32:53):
hits and they just didn't do it for me. Yeah,
I hate my brother thing. I mean, you know, they're boring.
They just kind of stand there, but people love them.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah, I you know, if you hate your brother some bad.
Ride in a different bus. Yeah, it probably due, but okay,
ride in a different bus, show up on stage, do
your sound check go off in your own dressing room.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
That Yeah, we already saw that. I hate the Brothers thing.
The Kinks and the Black Crows have already done that.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
But I actually don't hate Oasis. But then again, I
don't understand selling out the Rose Bowl.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
And that's you know, I don't hate them.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
I don't love them, but I just don't Maybe I
just don't get it.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
I don't get it either, And you know what they're
and it's funny because they're big. They love the Beatles
and they're influenced by the Beatles, but they're not the Beatles.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
No, they're not bad.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
But all right, my number four is a specific is
a band that I actually like. But there's an era
of the band that I don't understand, but people like
to talk about it. Oh that's the Sid Barrett era
of Pink Floyd. Have you ever heard some of that stuff?

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Before Gilmore, see for me, Pink Floyd got good when
Gilmore joined and Sid Barrett left. Because Sid Barrett was
the leader of Pink Floyd and I've listened to some
of that stuff and it's psychedelic garbage. It's terrible.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Yeah. Absolutely, When Gilmore came, they became Probably a lot
of the old school people say that's when they were ruined,
but no, that's when Pink Floyd became the megastars they are.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
You got another leader in the band who could sing
and talk about a melodic player. Those solos, Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Oh yeah, he's like he's probably got two or three
of the top ten solos of all time comfortably numb. Yeah,
sing that.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
So if you can sing a solo, it's a good solo.
And if you can remember it and sing it, Yeah,
I love I like Pink Floyd, after, said Barrett before.
The whole story is intriguing. But I did. I don't.
He wasn't like, he was not a great singer, and
those songs were terrible. Sorry, I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Sorry, all right, Well that's not a bad not a
bad one either. My number three kind of on the
same plane as Coldplay. Oh but I gave it away
now it's cold Play.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
I almost put him on my list.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Oh my, I don't get it at all. I mean,
I think the the CEO getting caught cheating on with
his with his girlfriend is hilarious.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
It's really funny.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
That's awesome. But Coldplay had nothing to do that. No,
but it's hilarious. But I don't get, you know, I
don't get how cold Play is selling out stadiums.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
I just don't. They're super popula, they sell a lot
through tickets. Yeah, I mean, I don't even I've heard
some of their music and I think, Okay, I should
like this more because I do like melodic rock and
it's almost yacht ROCKI ish, and I do like that
kind of music. But it just I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
I just don't not this particular brand.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah, it's like a I prefer I to listen to
the Little Little River Band over Coldplay. Yeah. Yeah, I
don't know what it is. I mean, I don't have
anything against them. I just don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yeah, that's kind of what this list is.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Yeah. Didn't they play the super Bowl one year? Coldplay?

Speaker 2 (36:47):
I think they did.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Yeah. I was like, and I'm like, why why is
this so boring?

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Something exciting. I get Janet Jackson exciting, I get Prince exciting. Rappers,
forget it. No, Coldplay. I don't get Prince.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Prince to me was by far the best super Bowl halftime.
It was unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah, but he pretty much thinks that. I agree. It
was great, all right. My number three critics loved this
guy in his first band. Oh, rolling Stone creams their
jeans over this guy. This guy made an album with Metallica,

(37:29):
their worst album of their career. It's terrible. He's a
one hit wonder and he talks to the whole song
I'm talking about Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Oh, I don't get it either. I you know, I
don't really consider him a big star. But I guess
maybe he is in some circles. But I don't. I mean,
I think he's definitely an underground kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Yeah, but rolling Ston own Creams, I mean Rolling Stone
talk to hibout. I had Rock Scene magazine. He was
in it every month. Oh, he's like, he's good. He's
like Bowie No, I mean Bowie, Iggy Pop and lou Read.
All kind of people kind of like to put those

(38:19):
three together because they were friends and they're from the
New York scene. No, but wait a lot lou Reid,
lou Reid and Metallica. Metallica couldn't save him. Those songs
are terrible.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know whose idea that was.
They should have been fired, no question. I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yeah, maybe I'm buying myself on that one. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
No, I get I'm with you. I didn't even think
of him because I don't think of him as being
a huge star. So okay, whatever, all right? Number two
for me, this one, this band kind of started the
whole grunge thing, and I don't I don't see why
they became as gigantic as they all were. I'm not

(39:05):
talking about Nirvana, I get that. No, I'm talking about Pearl.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Jam, Pearl Jam, Pearl Jam.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Okay, don't get it at all. I you know, I'm
okay with Jeremy. I like that song. I like the
stub did matter, I like the baseline. But other than that,
just yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
You know, you know it's funny. My Number two is
also Pearl Jam, Run Scene, Okay, Stone Temple Pilots. I
like Yep, Nirvana, I like Sound Garden, I like Alison Chains,
I like the biggest of them all. I don't get it, yeah,

(39:52):
but I watched their documentary. The documentary was quite good,
but I hated the music. I couldn't stand it. In
these I sell out arenas regularly.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Huge, They got loyal following that got their own channel
on Serious. People love them.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
I am too old, you know. They the lead singer
was interviewed talking about what a genius Stone Goddard, Gossard
or whatever his name is, what a genius he is.
I'm like, what, no, no, I mean like guitar, but okay.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Yeah, I think he's the one I forgot. I don't
know all their names. One of the guys has a
UFO covers band, and I've heard him on trunk. Seems
like a nice enough guy. I mean, they seem like
they're good guys. In the documentary they seem like they're
pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah. I like the whole their whole stance against Ticketmaster
and all that.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Yeah, that's great music.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
I'm lost. I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
That's funny. We had both the same singing band. We
may get some hate over that one, but I don't care.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
I Wonderful Number one are going to be the same too.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Well. I don't know, because mine is not a specific band, okay,
but mine is just not really a genre, I guess,
but a group of bands. It's all of the jam bands.
Rachel Dead Fish, Dave Matthews Band, I don't get it,

(41:24):
Almond Brothers, Almond Brothers, all those. I mean, you could
almost throw Leonard Skinner in there, but not quite. But
just these bands that you know they can have a
twenty minute song. If you don't, if you can't say
what you have to say in under five minutes, you're
talking too much. Because there's these bands that just go

(41:47):
on and on and they have these followings and oh man,
did you hear the third set? Lost some man? Oh geez? Nope, okay, nope.
So just for me, I don't get the jam bands
just in general.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
My number one band has started in nineteen sixty five,
released their first album nineteen sixty seven, The Grateful Dead
don't get it.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
I love them writing the band The Skull, cool as hell,
great marketing, look at heavy metal marketing, fantastic.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
I can't listen to music jamming on a song. I
hear great Jerry Garcia sing, can't sing? Is he a
great player? No? No he's not.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
And people just think, oh, oh man, he's so emotive.
No he's really not.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
No. Yeah, the whole jam band thing I don't get.
I don't know if you could really consider Leonard Skinner
had one jamming song, jam band song that was free
Bird because it went on forever, but most of their
songs were kind of short.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Allman Brothers definitely a jam band. Fish Great Players, definitely
a jam band. Can't stand their music. I don't know
if Dave Matthews is a jam band. Oh yeah, they
they maybe, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
They they're on the cusp between Fish and Dave Matthews.
I think they're the ones that are trying to take
over for where Grateful Dead left off.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Is it because maybe some of these guys were influenced
by freeform jazz, because in free form jazz you can
take go off on your own little tangent for twenty
minutes over here.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Maybe I guess, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
I guess yeah. I just I picked the Dad out
of all those jams bands because I think that they're
worst musically. They're not like Fish, good musicians, and it
was actually good musicians.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
I do like Touch of Gray, but you know, I
like the I don't know, there's something about that song
I like. I don't really like the solo. The singing
is not good singing.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Yeah, well maybe because it reminds me of my current hair.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Yeah yeah, I got a little touch of grade going too.
But yeah, so there we are. We almost basically agreed.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Well hopefully we didn't piss anybody off. But these are
just our opinions and his opinions.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
I know there are probably people out there. I don't
understand Van halen Man. I just don't get it.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Oh yeah, there's all kinds of people like that. I mean,
I don't understand metal. It doesn't do it for me. Hey,
everybody's entitled their opinion. No big band, as long as
you like it, it makes you feel good, That's what
music's all about. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
I have a friend that I worked with and ask
for Resenica that loves Dave Matthew's band. Has gone all
over the world to see that, all over the world
just to She doesn't follow him around, but she'll go,
like when they have a They had like a Dave
Matthews weekend down in cook or maybe it was Mazamon

(45:04):
or somewhere in Mexico that she went for the whole weekend.
She and a friend of hers and I'm okay, you
do you.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Right, and if it makes you a better person and
you have a good time, go for it. Not for me,
but yeah, I wouldn't be going right.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
But then people probably say I couldn't imagine going on
on a lot of rock crews either, Well I could, yeah,
I could.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
Well, Danny and you and I are we have a
niche show, and we're definitely in the minority of what's
popular in the United States. Now, in Europe, in South America,
the stuff that we listen to is very popular, and
same thing with Japan. So just because our country doesn't
quite get it, other countries do.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
So all right, well that's good.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Yeah, And on that note, we're gonna go take a
quick break and be back with some rapid fire. All right,
boys and girls, We're back with our signature bit of

(46:13):
rapid fire, where Danny and I fire three questions each
off at each other, and you people at home, you
guys try to play along, and you guys try to
go six for six six.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
I don't think we ever done that.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
No, lately, we've been really stinking at this.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
Watch.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
We'll get one out of six, maybe two out of six. Yeah,
I mean, we have to come up with these out.
Sometimes we repeat the questions, but you know, lots of
times we don't. We're just getting older and we're forgetting things.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
So okay, all right, well we'll see how we did.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
All right, here you go. Question number one? What do
these musicians all have in common? Blast Elias, Jeff Scott Soto,
al Pitter, l Pitrelli, and Rosa. Oh god, I can't
even pronounce her name. She's the lead singer, Vixen. I

(47:11):
think it's Laura Cutu. Okay, lead singer Vixen, alp Terry,
who's a guitar player, Jeff Scott Soto and Blast Alias.
What do they all have in common?

Speaker 2 (47:26):
They all live in San Fernando Valley.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
Oh incorrect, dang it. They all do something two months
out of the year on the West Coast.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Oh, they all do TSO.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yep, trans iberis Trans Siberian Orchestra, their West Coast version.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
All right, I didn't. I didn't realize that A.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
That Yeah, nice. Last year we knew Jeff did it? Yeah,
and Blast I know does it because you know, they
usually do their gigs and then they do TSO, which
probably makes a lot more money. Because I think that
is everywhere.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Yeah, my mom went to see them and she was
blown away.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
I have yet to see them.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yeah I haven't either. She said that they she said
they are such good many musicians. Well yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
The East Coast version is basically sabotage.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Yeah exactly, but sabage sabotage in Christmas mod Yeah. Yeah,
but I may go. I may take my wife to
go see them sometime soon.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Yeah. I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
All right, Well, question number one for you. Who is
the only person ever to play live with both the
Beatles and the Stones? Oh?

Speaker 1 (48:47):
My god, it's that keyboard player. What's his names? That's
what I'm thinking it is. Oh what's his name? Ain't
nothing means nothing? Gotta have something. Oh they call them
the Fifth Beetle. Oh yeah, what is his damn name?
I'm drawing a blank here, and I know what he

(49:07):
looks like. He had some hits on his own.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
He played on the rooftop for their Last Moment.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Yeah, say get back in the movie, that terrible movie,
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Yeah, he played. He toured on two separate tours with
the Stones.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Yes, give me his first initial b Oh, that didn't help,
Billy Preston.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
That's right, Oh my god, Oh man, I didn't mean
aurism there.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
This is the last show.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Great my questions killed bark Yeah, go Dan?

Speaker 1 (49:54):
All right. Question two for you, did you realize that
the Video Music Awards were on a couple of weeks ago?

Speaker 2 (50:03):
I actually know.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Yeah, the Video Music Awards, which was stupid because MTV
hasn't shown videos in twenty years. But they actually showed
the VMAs on CBS this year and they did an
Ozzie tribute. Okay, there was a bunch of guys who
went out there and played. Okay. My question for you
is there were two members of two bands from the

(50:27):
same city represented during that performance. Can you name the
two bands and what city they're from? Oh Jesus Christ,
if you knew who played.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Yeah, that would help. I have no idea. I didn't
see that.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
All right, If you didn't see it and didn't see
the highlights of it, I'll give you the city. The
city's Boston. Now, think of two bands from Boston, and
I can tell you two members of two bands from
Boston were on that thing from Stree band that was there,
because also fig was there playing drums. So two guys

(51:04):
from Extreme So who are the other two guys.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
I'm gonna say two guys from Aerosmith.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
Correct Joe Perry and Steven Tyler were also there, and
they had three azzy songs along with that guy young Blood,
who I'd still really never heard a song he's done,
but all of a sudden he's blown up everywhere because
he did a great version of Changes. I still don't
know any other songs he does, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
I saw I saw a video of him doing that
and and over in England and.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
It was great.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
Yeah, and he did it again on the VMA's and
he also sang uh my mom coming home with Steven
Tyler and Joe Perry and there's Nuna back there and
there's k Fake back there.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
They did, they did change. They did three songs, three
Aussie songs, and I forgot the first one nice. You
can see it on YouTube. Actually did it. They did
a pretty good job on it. But why have the
Video Music Awards?

Speaker 2 (51:59):
You don't show video as MTV shouldn't be involved in.
It should be the the Netflix Video.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Music a Wars, something like this some of your shows,
or the YouTube Media YouTube video.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
YouTube video Awards Music.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
Version, Yeah, whatever, something like that.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
All right, Well, I have a question that's kind of
related to Ozzie Tony. Iomi, of course from Black Sabbath
has always played one type of guitar. What type is it?

Speaker 1 (52:34):
I can see it, but I don't know what who
makes it is? Its?

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Nope, bigger story, Nope.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
I don't know what the hell That thing is.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
The same one that that h Angus plays Young plays. Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
It's not a Less Paul, What the hell is it?

Speaker 2 (52:59):
Close? Same same company.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
It's a Gibson, Yeah, Gibson SG.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
That's correct.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
But I missed it already. I'm a dumb Jesus I
thought of it. I don't know what a flying V
looks like in a Less Paul, what it looks like?

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Yeah, you would probably you'd probably be able to tell
what a strata is, an explorer.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Strata explore. I wouldn't I know, because Paul Stanley played one. Yeah,
but yes, strata I wouldn't know. But yeah, I never
really thought of that.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
So how many have I got so far? Done?

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Preston?

Speaker 1 (53:40):
So I got one and you got one? So all right,
so we're doing okay, we're two four right now?

Speaker 2 (53:46):
All right, question.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Three is gonna be hard Maybe? I don't know. We'll
see it. See if you remember, because you probably saw
this movie when you lived in Springfield, Virginia. Probably saw
this movie on videotape, and your your step brother probably
rented it. Okay, you got you got that frame of mind.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Now I'm there with you.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
This movie is probably on Skinmax two, I mean Cinemax.
In the nineteen eighty four sex comedy movie Hard Bodies,
do you remember that? Yeah, there was an all female
band that played in that movie, and they also kind
of they didn't start it, but they were bit players
in it, but they played a song. At least one

(54:32):
can you name the band, because they went on to
have some success, but at least one or two of
the members in that movie. Actually I think one is
the original band and then they morphed into a band
that has success. All female band.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
In eighty four. Yeah, I'm gonna guess. I don't think
that's right, but I'm gonna guess the go Gosh.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
You were incorrect, sir, dang it. Vixen, Vixen.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
I thought about them, but I thought that might be
a little too hard up.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
For that. Yeah, they were in it, and I think
it was the first version of Vixen. And I believe
Jan the guitar player, was the only one from that
particular lineup of that band that went on record the album.
So Vixen is in Hard Bodies. The movie sucks. It's terrible.
I saw it too.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Oh yeah, I remember seeing it back in the day.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Yeah. It's this exploitation film with these three old guys
trying to get the young chicks. But we all rented
those movies back in the day. Absolutely on his lap. Yeah, yeah,
my brother too.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Some of us more than others, rented.

All right, now you got you got a bonus question
for me.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
Bonus question for you. Okay, went to the following three
bands having common Dan, the Yankees, Accept and Leonard Skinner.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Oh, so they have to do with members. Yep, so well,
maybe one guy played in all three.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
Yeah, that's probably what the what it is. But who
is it?

Speaker 1 (58:49):
I'm gonna say that Mike Michael Cardilloni on drums playing
all three.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Yep, that's it.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
I know he's in Leonard Skinner now, but I didn't.
We played with a saft I didn't either.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
He's on two albums by except and of course he's
the only drummer Damn Yankees.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
Oh, I had no idea, but there you go.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:11):
Yeah, he's the least famous guy in Damn Yankees, and
he seems like he's never stopped working.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
Yeah, okay, there you go. Oh, I've got one more
questions say for next time.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
All right, So that was pretty fun and we did
this in an hour, so not too bad. Hopefully it
sounds okay because again we're using new software and old
ass computer, so who knows.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Right, Well, we'll see, we'll see when you go back
and listen to it. If it's totally crap, we'll just
redo everything we just did.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Yeah. In two weeks, I'm seeing I might be seeing
three concerts in the last week of September. I'm seeing
Marvelous three at the end of the month at a
small club in downtown LA which is really sketchy. Downtown
LA is a war zoning what you've heard, Well, you

(01:00:07):
think it's I think San Francisco is bad. Downtown LA
is scary amount of homeless and crime down there, really,
But I'm if I don't make it back, you'll know why.
Then two days later, Crazy Licks is playing I think
on a Tuesday night at the Whiskey, and I'm thinking,

(01:00:28):
I don't have tickets for that, but I might go
to that. We'll see how I feel. And Thursday of
that week I definitely have tickets. I'm going to see
Michael Schenker in a club opening band Armored Saint, so
I might have watched lots of He's coming here.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
He's playing at the Keswick, but you know, yeah, I'm
going to see that. I'll shoot the one that Michael
Monroe pulled out. Cherry, Yeah, Buck Cherry and National Plusity.
You're playing at the Casswick. But Michael Shanker's playing there
with the guy that I saw open for Queens. Right,

(01:01:13):
he's got three names, Jared, Yeah, Michael James, Jared or something.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
He was Jared Nichols.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Right, Yeah, that's it he was great.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
Yeah, I guess he's got a new album coming out.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
So who's singing on that Michael Shanker tour.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
It's it's not Eric because Eric doesn't come over the
States much because there was health I haven't said yet,
but it might be Robin McAuley. Okay, it's all UFO songs, right,
because UFOs retired songs, Michael, you know UFO songs. Michael

(01:01:51):
Shanker played on almost all.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Of them, all the early ones.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Yeah, yeah, so that'd be cool.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
Yeah, I've been thinking I'm going to see that. That's
coming up pretty soon though, Let's see. I am going
to see next weekend, I'm going to see Cowboy Junkies.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
Heard of them, don't know their music?

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Yeah, they're they're a brother and sister kind of trio thing.
My wife and her mother love them, so I got
them tickets and I'm going to work that show. They're
playing at the Grand Opera House, so go to that,
and then the next night at the Queen, I'm going
to see Oh Sister Hazel.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
Heard of them, don't know the music?

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
Yeah, they have one really big hit, all for You.
I don't know if you know that song, but sounds
a lot like the band with the harmonica, Dude Blue Trouser. Yeah,
sounds a lot like that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
Like, I don't know what they could do. I think
that harm.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Because the All for You has a bunch of harmonica
in it, So I've always thought that that sounded like
please travel. But okay, So we're going to see them
on Sunday, and there's a Friday night I may work.
I'm not scheduled to work yet, but I might work

(01:03:24):
at this Beatles tribute show, but not Beatles BG's tribute show.
But it could be good.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
It could be a train wreck.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Yeah, there's about this theater holds about twelve hundred and
I think they've sold about thirty. Yeah, so it's the
Amba one that I went to a few weeks ago.
Was great, great, great, great. You know, the two girls

(01:03:55):
I had saying look good, sounded good, the bands having good,
and it was packed and the whole place dancing.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
The entire time. Sounds like a good time.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
Yeah. I don't know why the Beiji's haven't sold like
Abba did.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
But maybe these people just don't know if they're any
good or not. Yeah, I mean, yeah, some people make
a career just being a tribute band travel across them,
you know, the United States. If you're really good, you
can pull it off.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Yeah. The Abba one's called direct from Sweden music of Abba.
This other one is like dedicated to Beij's or something
like that. I don't know. I don't know. They'll probably
send an email this week saying, hey, we need people
to work, but I think I can do it by

(01:04:45):
myself for thirty people.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
Yeah, there you go. Yeah, drinks for everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
I did work for that George Thornton show, and man
it was constant, just beer and whiskey and Jack Daniels.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
Keep the tips coming.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Yeah, exactly, bringing on. But I don't know how many
times I heard somebody come up, I'll have one bourbon,
one Scotch, and one beer.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
That'll be thirty five dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:05:20):
Yeah. Oh, you wouldn't believe how many times I've heard that. Today.
You're just thinking that on your way here. So that's
really good. You're so original. Well, his wife laugh, I guess,
I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
And on that happy note, we're out of here's been
a couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
