first thing I want you guys to do, though, before
we even get started, I am David Richardson. This is
Hollywood Hangout. We are talking music tonight. If anyone listened

(02:25):
to the Wrestling Show last Wednesday, I said, I really
am kind of itching to come back and talk some music.
So I decided that's what I'm gonna do real quick.
I want you guys checking out the high Marks. Don't
forget to check them out, Metalmist, Metal Mit Podcast, Networking,
check them out on Mixler, and you can check them
out on YouTube also, and also the Weekly Detour. That's right,

(02:49):
Anthony and Teddy Graham's over there, go on and check
them guys out over there working doing it every week,
having a great time. But on that note, I do
want to you guys, I am excited about this one.
I'm gonna take us back a few years. I'm gonna
go way back. We're gonna go back to the eighties.

(03:10):
I'm going to talk about a few eighties hairbands, glam rock,
glam metal, many names you can call it, but it
was really just a bunch of hair bands. And there were, boy,
were there a lot of them. Guns and Roses. You
had La Guns, which was a mixture of the two.

(03:31):
You had Quiet Riot, you had Warrant, you had Wasp
Docin I mean bon Jovi, Van Halen's, Motley Crue, Guns
and like I say, guns and Roses. So many bands
out there, and I'm not even barely scratching the old
surface here of some of the bands that were out

(03:52):
there at that time. Music was so so so much
fun back then. It was so good and you could
really tell, Yeah, the guys were probably fucked up a
little bit on some drugs, but you know, to be
honest with you, listen. I was born in nineteen seventy five,
so throughout these years I was pretty young. My sister

(04:15):
was two years older than me, so she was into
a lot more of this music, which made me get
into some of this music. Her friends were into the
classic rock plus a lot of this stuff too, so
it was kind of just kind of went hand in
hand in a way. But some of the music we're
going to talk tonight, I just I kind of grew

(04:36):
up with I've always loved and I really just want
to share with you guys. I've got just a little
a little six pack of songs that I'm gonna play.
I've got a little Tesla, little skid Row, Little def Leppard,
Rat Twisted Sister, and of course Poison. You know, I mean,
the eighties were a time where the bigger the hair,

(04:59):
the more you look like women. They wore makeup, they did.
I mean a lot of the guys literally went on
stage looking like girls. There's no other way to put it.
They really did it. They just did pretty much. All
the names I've got right here were those bands that
did things, that were dressed like that, were going out

(05:21):
like that. I've got, Like I said, Tesla definitely was,
and yeah they're named after what you think they are. Well,
we'll jump into that in just a minute.

Speaker 13 (05:32):
Here.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I'm actually gonna not gonna try to rush through this,
but I do need to get through this. It's a
little late, but I did want to get this done
real quick, but I wanted to do this one for
a while. This is fun. Now. Listen, you could tell
the bands back then we're having a great time. If
you watch pretty much all of bon Jovi's videos, that

(05:55):
band is having a blast. It was during the concerts.
A lot of you know, the a lot of the
videos back then were just kind of during concerts and
it was just the bands having a fucking blast, just
going out there playing their shit, you know, and it
was great. And bon Jovi was probably one of the

(06:16):
bands that definitely did that. Def Leppard was one of
those bands. I would say, pretty much all the bands
up here except Twisted Sister. Twisted Sister always had the
elaborate outfits, the elaborate videos. I talked about their lead
singer d Snyder last year when I talked about Strange Land,

(06:36):
his movie. But I guess we can go ahead and
jump into the music. I know this might, like I said,
I've only got six songs, it might not be the
the longest of shows, but I'm gonna start off with
a song by a band, like I said, called Tesla. Yes,

(06:57):
they're named after these scientists and er Nikolay Tesla. The
band tried to raise the profile of Tesla by giving
the Smithsonian Institute a bust, but they were rejected. They
gave him a bust of Nikolay Tesla and they were like, no,
that's okay, that's okay. This band did break up in

(07:22):
nineteen ninety five. They re reformed back in two thousand
and a California disc jockey actually got them back together,
said that a lot of people were waiting to hear them.
Basically just talked them into going back out there, getting
on stage, seeing what they could do, and lo and
behold they did. So I'm gonna go ahead and start

(07:47):
off with probably one of their more known songs, that
would be the song Signs. And the best version is
the live version. The official music video is a live version.
So without further ado, let's get this first song going.

Speaker 14 (08:06):

Due all right, all right, So there we go, folks,
A little tesla signs for you guys.

Speaker 8 (11:16):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
The first time I remember hearing this song, I was
at a little spot that they called the Clearing My
sister's friends. I was fifteen years old and they played
this song and I was like, that was a pretty
cool song. It was my first Milwaukee's Best. It was gross.
I hated it, but obviously I got to like beer,

(11:40):
but uh yeah, my first beer was a Milwaukee's Best.
And that was actually the first night I heard this song,
So I don't know, I loved it since then and
thought it was a great little song and just a
just a just a great band. Obviously kind of they
got the California kind of that very hippie still style,
you know, all the signs and all that stuff. But
great song, great band, and uh, just a great band

(12:05):
of the eighties. Now gonna get into another definitely hair band.
Well skid Row. This band has had many It had
a few singers before before it found Sebastian Bach, crazy

(12:28):
old Sebastian Bach, and they've had a few after him. Also,
z P Thart, Aaron Gronwell, Gronwall. We've had a few
singers since then. Actually right now, Grown grun Wall is
still the singer for that band. Uh, they're still touring.
A lot of these bands I'm going to talk about
right now are still touring. So It's crazy to think,

(12:52):
but a lot of them are still out there, still
going strong, and still fucking sound and great. Some of
them too now. Skid Row formed in nineteen eighty six
by Rachel Bolan the bassist, and David Yeah and David
Snake Sabo that would be their guitarist, New Jersey band.

(13:16):
They released one of their first albums pretty much that
same same year, and to be honest with you, the
only reason they really ever got famous is for the
people they opened for. At one point, basically they opened
up for all the shows for bon Jovi. This was

(13:38):
way before they even had a record deal. Skid Roll
landed three dates opening up for bon Jovi on his
massive Slippery Wine Wet tour, and basically the Snake, David
Snake Sabo the guitarist, had a real close relationship with
bon Jovi and the rest of the band. They had

(13:59):
all been doing small clubs and then suddenly they were
in front of five thousand you know people doing you know,
big venues. I said, it was obviously pretty cool, but
their first gig was opening up for bon Jovi in Pennsylvania.
After that, the manager for bon Jovi, Doc McGee, went

(14:22):
that sounds like the biggest made up name. What's your name?
Doc McGhee. Okay, anyway, Doc McGee went backstage just to
talk to the band and they were in a dressing
room and he's like, look, you guys are doing great.
I love your sound. They just did Youth Gone Wild
and eighteen to Life and they said, look, great songs, great,

(14:44):
look great band, but you need a new singer. This
guy's not gonna cut it. And that was when they
did have Sebastian book. Now, obviously this guy had a
little bit of foresight because Sebastian Bach did leave the
band in nineteen eighty six after a a little argument
with Bolan. Basically he even Bolan turned down a an

(15:11):
opening slot on this Kiss reunion tour, and Sebastian Bach
had already booked it, so no one really knew what
was going on. The other band members were like, well,
you know, this is kind of what Bolan wants to
do it, we don't really want to do it, saying
you know, we're too big to open. Just just open
for Kiss. And when Sebastian Bach got pissed, he left

(15:34):
a message on their answering machine saying, you're never too
big to open up for kiss, but anyway, like I said,
in the nineties, they reformed with Solinger Johnny Sollinger and
a new drummer, Phil Varone for a little while, and
they toured pretty much every summer since, even put out

(15:56):
a new album in two thousand and three. But speaking
of the one song that we were just talking about,
little Youth Gone Wild, let's play some Youth Gone Wild.

Speaker 13 (16:31):
Mom shouldn't know means.

Speaker 9 (16:36):
No booth thou.

Speaker 18 (16:41):
Never really makes the refusation s chancy what you say?

Speaker 14 (17:41):

Speaker 10 (18:36):
We did a mass a frown we walk in never listener,
we walk the walk ron ings on the wall.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
So hell, Yes, that is some goddamn music right there.

(19:30):
I fucking love that ship right there. I'm not gonna lie.
I'm sitting here pumping my fucking arms, jamming out to
that fucking song. I fucking love it. I do, man,
I love it. Y'all hear that guitar. I think any
of y'all that have I heard a lot of this
know that I love guitar. I love the sound of guitar.
Now it just I just absolutely love it. I'm gonna

(19:53):
take quick pause. No one will even know, but I
just figured out when my audio sounds a little different.
I'm gonna pause and I will be back in just
a second here, all right, Like I said, I've been
wondering what was going on in my volume, and I guess, uh,
I guess my little girl pressed a button she wasn't
supposed to. Oh well, life sucks. Got it fixed now,

(20:15):
I'm not worried about it. But anyway, like I said,
man that I've said a thousand times on this show,
I fucking love guitar. I just love the sound of it,
the shredding of it, and this that song definitely has it,
and pretty much all these songs have it, which is
why I fucking love all these goddamn songs. Now we're

(20:35):
gonna talk a little bit about Deaf Leopard. We're gonna
get into a little bit of Deaf Leopard right now
formed in England. Their name was literally was originally spelled
the way you would think it was, with the de
e a f l e O p A r D.
It was changed after they saw led Zeppelin. They decided

(20:58):
to go with the way it spelled, which d E
f l E P p A r D. Now, if
you ever watched a VH one movie, that's not really
how they bring it up. They basically say that Joe
Elliott came up with it just sitting around one day. Actually,
I think it might have even been Rick Allen who
came up with it. But speaking of Rick Allen, obviously

(21:20):
everyone knows that in nineteen eighty four he was racing
his corvette down the road in England, flew through the windshield,
his arm was ripped off by the seat belt. I
guess we can say at least he had a seat
belt on, so at least we know that, and he
stayed with the band. They actually completely redesigned his drum

(21:43):
kit in order to fit him, and he stayed on,
played with one arm. Fucking you cannot tell which one
is which. It was unbelievable how he went right back
played and you never knew I want to talk about

(22:03):
Offensive an old radio station in Florida. These guys Paul
and young Ron I talked about him on the talk
radio show. They used to do a contest and you
had to guess if it was just before Google obviously,
you had to guess if he had one arm or
two well during the song. Really kind of a shitty
thing to do. I'll admit I thought it was funny

(22:24):
at the time, but that was about it. But yeah,
I mean, this was just a band who was pretty
known for doing something a little bit different with a
few things, actually a few things they did. Man, I

(22:46):
got to get back into my internet. I actually lost
I noticed something. Didn't copy it here, and I'll do
that in just a minute. But you know, it's just
one of those bands though that they kind of they
turned up the medley and kind of turned down the vocals. Yes,
their vocals seem loud, but their medley's were super loud.

(23:08):
And that's what made them different. Actually to where a
lot of the bands started doing that. You had Guns
and Roses and a lot of the bands after these
guys doing the same thing and following suit. So all right,
here's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna rock some port
some sugar on me and uh we will get right
back to I believe the next song is rat here

(23:28):
we go.

Speaker 6 (23:30):
Step inside this way? Do you want me made?

Speaker 13 (23:49):
Get it on.

Speaker 20 (26:52):
My you you take, so.

Speaker 13 (26:57):
Why not Jack.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Like I got?

Speaker 2 (27:55):
All right? So there you go. A couple of little
extra facts about little def Leppard right there. Thomas Dolby,
the guy who did She Blinded Me with Science, actually
played keyboards on the Pyromania album. And if you look

(28:15):
at the album, it'll have a gentleman named Booker T. Boffin.
There's Thomas Dolby for you folks. That is him. He
decided to go by the name Booker T. Boffin. I'm
not sure how Booker T. The Restler would feel about that,
but this is what happened. Their first concert was in
a room in a spoon factory in Sheffield, England, and

(28:40):
there were only six people there. Boy imagine starting like
that and ending not even ending, but keeping rolling the
way these guys have def Leppard gonna be a great band.
But if you listen to that song, you can hear
the heavy, heavy drums in the background, and they they've

(29:02):
got the guitar, they've got the medley, but they sort
of blend their lyrics and their vocals into those. That's
what made them a little different. They just had a
different sound than all the other just regular glam rock.
You know, heavy guitar riffs and stuff. It was just
a little bit different. And that's why I was a
huge fan of def Leopard.

Speaker 9 (29:23):
Man.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
I loved their fucking songs. And here's another one that
I absolutely love. This song was actually probably one of
my favorites. When I I told the story that I
went and I bought my first you know, a little
bit of cash I had, I decided to go buy
a couple of forty five records. I bought two. I

(29:47):
bought Don Henley Dirty Laundry, and this I bought Rat,
Round and Round. Don't know why I love this song
so much, but I absolutely loved this song, Round and
Round by Rat. I mean it was definitely a little

(30:08):
weird song, and I mean, if you guys are kind
of going that sounds familiar, it should. They were in
the Geico commercial in twenty twenty with you know, we
have a Rat problem and then you know, it shows
the married couple you know there and they show the
attic and Rat is up there playing the song. They
were originally called Mickey Rat and then just kind of

(30:31):
turned it into Rat. In the early eighties. It was
supposed to be an acronym for rock. All the time, R,
A T T rock all the time. But they didn't
put any you know, little periods after the letter to
let people know, like WASP is w you know with

(30:56):
the A, which you know that's actually an act, you know,
an acronym. But I don't know what they were thinking now.
It just resembles the rodent that you think of. Even
in their video to this song, a girl mutates from
a human to a rodent, which is a little weird.

(31:17):
It's even got Milton Burle's nephew who was actually the
band manager, Marshall Burrell, and he got Milton Berle himself
to appear free of charge and dressed as a woman.
I know, folks, just don't worry about it. It was
a very weird video. This song, Round and Round was

(31:38):
definitely their biggest hit. It was one of two top
forty groups or top top forty songs to hit in
the United States. The other one was Lay It Down,
which reached exactly number forty in nineteen eighty five. This
song was written by Steve Pearcy, who was the lead

(31:58):
singer of the group and uh Both guitarists Rob Crosby
and Warren to Martini were also UH co writers on
this song, and it's basically about a woman who broke
his heart, the singer's heart, Stephen Piercy, and he thinks

(32:22):
it's he thinks it's okay because you know, basically the
old whatever comes around goes around, which he says in
the song, And let's do this, folks, mus.

Speaker 8 (33:00):

Speaker 17 (36:19):
Well wait asking hi sho shine shop, what counts a round?

Speaker 9 (36:29):
Go from work?

Speaker 5 (36:31):
I'll tell you why why.

Speaker 11 (36:57):
Well?

Speaker 2 (36:58):
I guess listening to that and listening more time to
that and hearing the ripping guitar riffs, I think I
know why I liked that song so much when I
was a kid. I've always loved it's it's amazing. I
never learned how to play. I would love to, but
I'll never hear, you know, be able to play like that.
But that's some pretty crazy shit right there. But definitely

(37:22):
hair band right there. You know, lead singer's hair was
so long, he had that sheep dog thing going. He
had it all in front of his face down was
news could probably couldn't see. I would annoy me be
in my eyes. Yeah, anyway, it's annoying me watching it.
But great song, great guitar and all right, So next

(37:45):
one we are going to get into Twisted Sister, folks,
that's right, Twisted Sister. This is a band who has
been together for a very very long time. They did
have a couple of band of lead singers before before

(38:09):
de Snyder joined him in nineteen seventy six. They had
Michael O'Neil, who actually came up with the name. The
only problem is he doesn't remember coming up with the
name Twist's Sister. The guitar One of the guitarists, JJ French,
said that O'Neill called him from a bar and said,
I've got the perfect name, Twisted Sister. French was like, yes,

(38:30):
I love it, But the next day the didn't remember
any of it. But d Snyder took over for them
obviously very early nineteen seventy six, still the lead singer.
The only original member, not original member, but the only
member not with the band anymore is obviously aj Parow.
He died in twenty fifteen, so you know, that's obviously sad.

(38:57):
But the band does still do. They are touring a
little bit. They kind of went nineteen seventy two, eighty eight,
They came back in nineteen ninety seven, had a little
bit of Yeah. I mean they actually came back because
of that movie, because they did a few songs for
that movie Strangeland that we had talked about. But yeah,

(39:21):
they were. They're still wearing the old wigs and getting
their headbang and glory going. But you know, this is
another one that you could also really kind of argue
were they a heavy metal band? Were they a glam
rock band. D Snyder considers themselves a metal band, but
also really admits that they are probably a glam metal band.

(39:45):
So you know, now, D Snider, the lead singer, also
got his start singing in the choir at the All
Saints Episcopal Episcopal Church in Baldwin, New York and Church
of the Transfiguration in Freeport, New York. Like I said

(40:07):
in eighty eight, they kind of broke up a little bit.
They were getting a lot of media attention though on MTV,
just from you know, the all the headbanger shows and
Snuff and Snuff and stuff, and D. Snyder would have
mention just kind of show up on the early MTV shows,

(40:28):
give a little you know, just a little SoundBite, little
quip and move on.

Speaker 9 (40:37):
Now.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Did talk about this on the other show, But I'm
gonna go and talk about it now. Frank Zappa, John Denver,
and d Snyder were all part of Gentlemen who testified
at the Congressional hearings on September nineteenth, nineteen eighty five.
This was regarding the warning labels on albums deemed to

(40:59):
consider it I plicit lyrics. This really had a lot
to do with Two Live Crew and their album The
Parents Music Resource Center. The p MRC was led by
Tipper Gore, al Gore's wife, and she testified obviously in
favor of the labels, while the musicians were arguing, it's censorship,

(41:20):
you can't do that. Obviously they won. We still have
those labels as of today. There's still labels. I believe
there are. I'm pretty sure there are. But this album
that was that I'm about to play a song off
of State Hungary was really a huge album for the band.
It was just one of the albums that really made

(41:43):
their career. And this was just a great band with
some great music. I've got the official video, So you're
gonna hear a little talking in the beginning. Remember that
is need a Meyer from Animal House anther movie that
we've talked about before on this show. That is need
a Meyer from my animal house. So let's go ahead,
get this music going. We're not gonna take it.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
Look all right, mister, what do you think you're doing?

Speaker 15 (42:21):
You call this a room.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
This is a big style.

Speaker 18 (42:26):
I want you to straighten up this area.

Speaker 10 (42:28):
Now you are a disgusting slop?

Speaker 18 (42:32):
Are you listening to me? What do you want to
do with your life?

Speaker 2 (42:39):
I want to rock.

Speaker 21 (42:41):
O're not gonna take it.

Speaker 18 (43:03):
We ain't gonna take Oh God, we've got no light
to choose in.

Speaker 15 (43:19):
That I know I willse it.

Speaker 9 (43:22):
This is our life.

Speaker 13 (43:24):
This is a song.

Speaker 18 (43:29):
We'll find nine dollars being just dumb. Be contest because.

Speaker 13 (43:35):
Your dumb hows your dumb. I'm not gonna take it, but.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
We ain't gonna tell.

Speaker 18 (43:55):
How we also jump this same name beyond godless dunna ridday. Wait,

Speaker 18 (45:36):
Say, We're not gonna.

Speaker 15 (45:44):
Well, I gotta.

Speaker 13 (45:47):
Not wait, I gotta die.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
There you go, And if you heard the end there
they're playing actually a little bit of the Animal House
where he's is that.

Speaker 18 (46:27):
A pledge pin on your uniform?

Speaker 2 (46:32):
So yeah, it was just a little kickback. It's very quiet.
You probably have to listen with headphones on you hear that.
I don't know, maybe it was loud enough, but I
kind of doubt it was. But just a great song
and a great I mean, they had full makeup on
these guys. They were they were, you know, pretty. They
were kind of creepy back then, but they were like

(46:53):
scary creepy, but they were really cool. I always thought
they were really cool. They had a great look. D
Snyder was obviously a very intelligent guy, and I just
thought they were great. Heavy, heavy guitar in those songs.
Again obviously why I love these songs, and uh just

(47:15):
love this era. I mean the eighties and seventies. The
eighties the music just completely did a you know, an evolution,
as it did in the in the nineties. Also it
took a whole new you know, kind of a whole
new uh whole new look in the nineties too. You know,
we did the nineties grunge and everything. And I'll get
in a nineties metal, and a little more of all

(47:36):
that as the time goes on here, But I'm gonna
talk about probably one of the I mean, when you
think of hair bands, I think this might be one
of the ones you really that pops into your head.
A band still touring today, ridiculously high hair makeup. I mean,

(47:58):
you think hair metal. Like I said, this is one
of the bands. You've got to think of Poison. You
gotta think of Poison, I do. I mean, as soon
as someone says hair bands, Poison absolutely one of the bands.
And you know when I mentioned one of those bands
that usually had the videos, just the music videos, just

(48:18):
hanging out and at their concerts, rocking out and having
a great time, this is one of them.

Speaker 10 (48:24):
Here.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Poison did the same thing most of the time. He
had Brett Michaels on lead vocals and also guitar. You
had Bobby Doll, Ricky Rocket, C C. Deville. There's been
a few guitar players through and through in and out.
Even even Slash for a while was uh did a
little thing with before Guns N' Roses. Was in a

(48:50):
band with Axl Rose called Hollywood Rose, and he actually
auditioned for Poison and uh CC Deville ended up getting
the gig instead. He looked more than part. They thought
Slash wasn't gonna wear makeup is basically what they're saying.
But they've this, this has been it's never broke up.

(49:10):
They've been inactive for long periods of time, but they've
you know, in the late nineties, they still toured with
def Leppard, Rat Tesla, Moley, Cruz, Cinderella. Michaels kept the
popularity of the band going by keeping his own popularity
going with the series Rock of Love started in two

(49:31):
thousand and seven, a little bit like The Bachelor, but nastier.
The show was a hit though for him and then
Michael's Brett Michaels. He won Celebrity Apprentice Season three back
in twenty ten. Very intelligent guy, obviously. I don't think

(49:51):
you can be a stupid man and make it in
the music business as successful and as long as he
has with being stupid. Little band though out of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania,
moved to la and that's where they got their big break.
But it was just one of the band members had
already left home. A guy named Matt Smith was on

(50:13):
guitar and left home before they made it big. They were.
They did make it big pretty quick after so they
they hadn't released their first album yet, though they did
right afterwards. Both Michaels and Ricky Rockett both had some
health scares. Michael's obviously had a brain hemorrhage in twenty ten.

(50:36):
I remember people saying, you know, pray for him. You know,
I'm not looking good. Rocket diagnosed with oral cancer in
twenty fifteen. But they both made full recoveries. Still are
doing great and doing well right now. Cc Deville, I
mean they didn't really break up, but they did sort

(50:58):
of eject Ccville in nineteen ninety one. He was heavy
drug use was making him hard to deal with, and
at the nineteen ninety one MTV Music Awards he actually
played the wrong song purposely just to make his make

(51:18):
the rest of the band look like idiots. They threw
him out of the band for about five years. They
really took a stretch off right there. Anyway, about five
years he was gone and was back so but for
a couple of those years, that's when they had Richie
Cotins on guitar and blues so Race Saracino never heard

(51:43):
of him, actually, but that's who that was right there.
So I'm gonna end this off right now with one
last song, nice little four minute song little talk dirty
to Me, another song I loved. The guitar in this
song is ridiculously loud, So you know I love this song.

Speaker 12 (52:00):
And here we hello, just a man, Sandy, it's for you.

Speaker 9 (52:07):

(56:17):
I thought it was great. I still listened to it.
I still listened to iHeart Eighties on iHeartRadio all the time.
If you listen to the Classic the Classic Rock station,

these great songs that you can hear on it. But listen,
