but welcome, sir, Thank.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
You, sir. I appreciate it, and thank you for allowing
us in today.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Absolutely no, it's wonderful, too wonderful to meet you both.
So uh we should and you know, we'll circle back
back to it at the end, but I think kind
of probably priority number one at least for people listening
live on Saturday. Is you all got a big show tonight?
Speaker 9 (05:55):
Right? Yeah, sure, we absolutely do. We got coming up tonight,
have a Metallica tribute along with the god Smack tribute
at the Jewel right here in Manchester.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yeah, right across the street from where we are.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
You can throw stones at it.
Speaker 9 (06:09):
Yeah yeah, yeah, you you literally could.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (06:11):
Absolutely, So that's uh tonight. What time does that start?
Doors open at seven, show starts at eight. Tickets are
available at the door.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Now is it is it two different bands or are
they is it one band two tribute to both. Oh okay, oh,
very cool, very cool. Now you do you do a
lot of tribute shows, right.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
We do. We probably put on at least fifty shows
a year. Wow.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Okay, so you got something pretty much every week then, yeah.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
Pretty much. Sometimes next week we got three nights in
a row. Oh no kidding.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Wow, So that's kind of I feel like that's kind
of your specialty, right, but it's not the only thing.
Because you know you're involved in Swarmy Fest. We should
mention that too. Yep, you're the promoter for a Swarmy
Fest coming up November fifteenth. That wore my I wore
my Stepsis shirt of course, the new one that they
got me last week. Yeah, this will be uh, you know,
this show, not the station, but this show specifically. We're
one of the spots answers involved in that, and Jenny
(07:03):
and I always we always look forward to Swarmy Fest
every year. So this is going to be great and
how but this is your this is your first year
Loud Entertainments, first year involved in that, correct.
Speaker 9 (07:14):
In Swimmy Fish. Yeah great, So how did that come about?
I'm really curious.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
It's it's a wonderful thing to be a part of,
but to be you know, that's but you've got a
little extra responsibility, right because like Jenny and I just
have to show up and kind of represent what we
do and whatnot. But as the promoter, you know, you've
got a lot on your shoulders rights as the promoters
of the show.
Speaker 9 (07:35):
Yes, absolutely, there's a lot of organization organizing things that
particular show has. It's not just a show, I should say,
it's not just a concert. It is actually a show. Yeah,
we're going to bring a lot of different accent and
do some different things and you know, we try to
bring you know, bring different people in and have a
good time. And the more the merrier on that one. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah, So how long has loud entertainment existed?
Speaker 9 (07:58):
And and and have have.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Both of you been because baboo, you're your part I mean,
are you partners in this or are you.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
There are three of us involved in it. Were other
gentleman named Joe Gun.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Okay, okay, So so you've been you've both been there
from the beginning. Obviously you guys started you started it.
Speaker 9 (08:20):
We were actually doing a show at Default and uh
I at that point I didn't know mister bab Yeah,
and he walked in the room and I was sitting
there with my girlfriend and she said.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I assume I assume you noticed him right away.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
Well she did. Yeah. She said to me, see that
guy over there. I said yeah. She said, that's the
way a promoter should be dressed.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Nice.
Speaker 9 (08:39):
So later on after the show, there was a local
band playing at a bar and not five down the road,
and uh, we went over there to see that after
we were done, and mister Babu walked in again. Yeah,
so I call her sent him an email the next day.
He sent me one back and I mean, we've been
pretty good friends since well I shouldn't even say good friends.
(08:59):
We talked daily, so every day excellent?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Excellent. So then how did uh, I mean, did one
of you pitch the idea to the other for loud
entertainment or how did that happen?
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Well?
Speaker 9 (09:10):
Was doing our once you tell him what's up with that?
Which one on the question?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
He just asked about loud entertainment, Like, how did the
two of you? I mean, it sounds like you became
fast friends, But then how did loud entertainment come into existence?
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Well, loud was doing shows and then as as Larry mentioned,
we kind of met up at this little bar after
a gig at at the Vault, okay, and he proposed
that I do all of their events and m see
everything that they do, Oh, okay, which is Gemini, Christmas
a lot. Yeah. And I was, you know, slipping around
getting here dribs and drabs, you know ones he tuesdays.
(09:48):
Now I'm getting like three nights in a given week. Yeah.
I know some bands that you know, they'll do over
one hundred gigs a year.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
I see us in twenty twenty six being there, Yeah,
twenty twenty seven at the latest.
Speaker 9 (10:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
But there's a lot of venues that are closing. There's
a couple of them that are that we're losing, and
that will mean that the bands will have better, better attendance,
I believe, because there's a lot of people out there
for these tribute bands to get a foothold.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
I try. I try to say all the time that
you know, at our age doing these tribute bands, you know,
half of us have passed away. The other half never
came back to music. So there's a small piece of
pie to split up. When there's nineteen shows going on
within one hundred miles of each other, right, Yeah, everybody
gets everybody gets a few. Yeah, so when you do
get that show with one hundred and fifty two hundred
(10:45):
people in a small club, you actually had a good night,
because that's that's accomplishing something. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I hate to see venues closing though, that's that's terrible.
Speaker 9 (10:54):
One of the one of the big ones out on
the what is that the boat? The boat? Okay, the
boat is closing.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
It's cool though that like you guys take the attitude
of well, you know, it's it's terrible when venues closed,
but you know you got to find the silver linings, right.
Speaker 9 (11:10):
So show must go on. Yep, yep.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
There's never been more tribute pans now never ever.
Speaker 9 (11:17):
Ever.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
The first tribute band that I knew was way back
in the early eighties was called Surgical Steel and they
were copying Judish Priest. Yeah, and that was the only
tribute pan then. But now Gimiani Christmas. There's a Linda
ronstant One that's up at the two below.
Speaker 9 (11:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Ah, these tribute bands come out. We just got through
having a couple of really great country Western trips down
at the Plymouth Memorial Hall, which we're going to be
doing shows later on this year again excellent and some
country events. We found out that there's a lot of
people out there that you know, I know, you're a
rock station, but there are a lot of country fans
out there.
Speaker 9 (11:53):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
We have actually our guests in our number two, Matt Axton.
He's white accent son. Oh my, so we got it.
You got a country act in the second hour today
as a matter of yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
We're having a little bit long. We love all types
of music, all genres, you know. Yeah, do what we
can to help out no matter what it is.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Oh yeah, absolutely, So why why is it? Why do
you guys think there are more tribute bands than ever?
Speaker 9 (12:19):
Right now?
Speaker 10 (12:20):
What?
Speaker 9 (12:20):
What?
Speaker 5 (12:20):
What's the reason for that?
Speaker 9 (12:21):
Do you think?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
I mean, is is there something that's driving that?
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Or Yeah, they want to be musicians and they want
to work.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yeah yeah, yeah, because you can. You can really make
a living doing that, right, sure you can.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Yeah, yeah, but you also got to realize that the
competition is very rough.
Speaker 9 (12:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
There's a couple of bands out there that do well.
A guy named Miguel and Kalvis runs a band called
Back in Black. They really do well. They're ac DC
all over New England all the way to Western PA.
Then there's a band called Crazy Train Ozzie Experience. These
cats go on Hawaii now granted Ozzie just passed, and
(12:59):
the riding the crash to the way they just got
through performing for like eight thousand people.
Speaker 9 (13:05):
Oh wow.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Uh they're they're all over the place now and they're
coming down to.
Speaker 9 (13:11):
The Jewel and the Jewel I mean to excuse me,
They're coming down to the Vault next Saturday night, Crazy
Train and uh, who we got with them?
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Sugar? Maybe there's so many shows on the schedule. Yeah,
say it because it's oh Crazy Training White Steak, which
is the White Snake tribute. Those guys are hot too.
They are really good right now. Yeah. Absolutely, they're starting
to get more and more, playing bigger theaters and stuff. Okay,
so yeah, now how does it work? I suppose.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I don't know if as as the promoters, if if
you have to worry about this part, or it's more
of the band has to worry about this part. These
individual bands, but I've always been curious about because that's
not a with tribute bands, that's not a particular zone
I've ever had any involvement in like, how does that
work legally like any other job, because pay a tax? No,
(14:01):
but I mean, but I mean in terms of intellectual
property and whatnot, Like, do you know any because I'm
sure there's stories out there of bands that are maybe
doing a tribute a tribute act and they get you know,
somebody kind of taps them on the shoulder, sends them
a season assist letter or something saying we don't want
you doing this and.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
You have to have original photos. Okay, use the word
tribute a lot when you're explaining your shows. Okay, we
just had a recent issue with our show that's going
on tonight. Oh, about two months ago, when we started
advertising the show, someone took our venue, our time, our date,
and posted real pictures of the real Godsmack on stump hub.
(14:42):
Oh Wowally, I started getting calls from people and saying, hey,
we just paid three hundred and eighty dollars before tickets.
Oh my god, I'm like you crazy. So I'm actually
letting them come tonight. Yeah, the people that don't have tickets,
I'm just going to give them a break at the door.
And they still got to you know, obviously still got
to pay to come in. But I'm going to tell
(15:03):
them that I've already spoke to stump Hup and Stumphub
said to let the people that don't have valid tickets
to tell them to call them in the morning and
they will they'll fix the situation. They can't do anything
about it until after the show.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Okay, So somebody, somebody was pulling a scam. In other words, so, yeah,
the ups they took your show made it look like
it was the actual band.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
Yeah, and we actually got Wow, we actually got a
phone call from like God Smacks people and they're like,
what are you guys doing? We're like, whoa, that ain't us.
I got a call from John over at the Jewel
and he said, what's going on? Why are you doing this? Yeah,
he said, John, that's not us. So we all looked
into it and we ended up figuring out that it
was a scam.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Oh, that's crazy. I can see how that would happen though. Wow.
So have you ever had a situation where a band
is supposed to play and they come to you and
they say, we've got a problem. We got a letter
we heard from somebody's lawyer. That hasn't happened that's good. No,
that's good, you.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Know, And if you really think about it, these tribute
bands are doing the bands that they're you know, copying
and on or because they're keeping their music alive. Yes,
and they're helping sell their.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Product exactly, exactly. Yeah. I often, you know, when the
subject of tribute bands come up. You know, my favorite
band of all time is Kiss, and I'm well aware
that because i've you know, I've read a lot of
books about this. How during the eighties, when Kiss was
in their non makeup era, you know, these tribute bands
started popping up of kissing full makeup, and Kiss has
(16:27):
always I've seen and heard a couple things that make
me think in recent years they might have changed their
policy slightly. But I know, for a long time, Kiss
was really good about you know, they weren't going after anybody.
Leave them alone, let them do their thing, because they're
actually helped. There was a Kiss tribute band in the
early nineties. I can't remember who it was, but there
(16:51):
was a guy from Boston who was in the band
who they they did like five thousand seats at a
tribute show in Canada, you know, doing the full makeup show.
So it's it's like, you know, so they were making
money and you know it helps, you know, it helps
promote the band that they're a tribute of. But I
do know too that there's like I remember a few
(17:13):
years ago, I think there was a story about Springsteen
was harassing somebody who was doing a Springsteen show, saying
I don't want you doing But I don't know what
the you know, details were about that eater, And maybe
there was something that this guy was doing that that
Springsteen objected to specifically. I'm not sure, but I know
that you can run into trouble. But but it sounds
like it's been pretty smooth for you guys overall.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Right, Well, you got to remember the master marketer is
Geene Simmons. He's got one thing that I think it's,
although a little bit harsh, very correct. He says, if
if you think that money cannot buy you happiness, you've
never had money, right.
Speaker 9 (17:52):
True.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
He's the master marketer. He makes money off of everything
he touches, and he's happy. He's heck to have these
kids tributes out there. Yeah, here's one that Larry and
I know, well, kiss story with a guy named Vinnie,
and Vinnie is spinning off a little bit into an
Aussie trip that they call Sweet Leave. Okay, Vinnie's great.
He's been a musician all his life. They're over in
(18:14):
the New York area, Western New York area mostly so
history hasn't come around. We're hoping we can set something up.
Oh yeah, in the future.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And if you do it in
they're coming here. We'd love to get him on the show.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Oh if we'd love to get him in the studio.
All makeup and everything. They are bloody right on. I
mean every aspect, boots everything, Kate, Yeah, perfect makeup.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
They are the most The blood running from his mouth.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
I don't know if he does that breathing fire. I
don't believe he does that one. The pyrotechnic thing, and
that's kind of a game thing. I mean, you hold
all the liquid in your mouth, you stew it out,
and then you purse your lips because if you draw
back you can get a face full of fire.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Oh yeah, yeah. Who's the I mean, is there anyone
you guys have booked who has particularly surprised you in
terms of just how.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
Good where you go? Wow?
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Like, an absolutely young band named Under the Horizon has
been very very good.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
We love we love them, and we should clarify to
for listeners who don't know that they're not a tribute
but there. We've had them on the show and Jenny
and I just saw them last. It was a week
ago today actually at Bad Burger Okay with Vices Inc.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
And Ye played Dad. They've been making some noise. I mean,
those kids and that guitarist is crazy. The drum is great,
and the girl she loosens up a little more. Every
single show. You find her doing something better and better
and better, and she's just growing along with the band.
And it's I mean, honestly, did one of the better
younger because they are real young. Ain't one in the
(19:57):
band that's over eighteen? Yeah, yeah, but we tried to
put them in all our metal shows. We think they're great. Yeah.
I mean the dad, Mike Palmer, he's taking good care
of them kids. He bought the bus.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
He's pushing them, a yellow school bus. They got a
yellow school bush. Yeah, the horizon on the side. It's
really great.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
Oh yeah, yeah, take you back in time when they
used to just travel around and a bus together. You know,
every time they pull up to a show, I'm waiting
for the Pocas family to come back right right.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
They've gotten heavier too than when they started. The first
time Jenny and I saw them live, it was right
after they were on this show and we went I
think it was that same weekend we went and saw
them at the Tupelo. They were opening for Was it
Great White? They're doing that again?
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
I can't remember it was Great White. It was they're
actually opening up a Great White again in a couple
of weeks.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
The reason I couldn't remember is because Jenny and I
went to that show, but we just stayed for Under
the Horizon and they work where, you know. We just
wanted to see them, and they.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
Were kind of like another great band that we're working
with and see a lot of potential with. There's a
new band, kind of new Stone Crusher.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
I don't know them.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
They got new album out. Their stuff is really really hot.
Speaker 9 (21:03):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Their vocalist was named best vocalist in the local area
by a Worcester magazine. I can't remember exactly which magazine.
Oh really, he's got some pipes, no doubt. Oh my gosh,
he's got one of the best. When he hits the
high notes.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
My toes girl, really yeah nice? So a little bit
of a changing gear is baboo. I have to ask
you because Larry said was talking about I should ask
you this about the time you met Ozzie.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
Oh yeah, excuse me. So there was a casino in
King of Prussia, PA that he came to. Of all places,
he was five hours drive away from me, my idol,
my lifelong idol. You know all the places in New World,
he's five hours.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
So I went for all four days and I met
him several times, and the last day I met him.
But when I first come up to him, I was
kind of expecting him to go, oh, gosh, look there
I am, and he kind of went, oh geez, no, no,
but I have this coat on and he dug it
and he goes Sharon. Sharon goes, oh see you look
(22:11):
at this blouch cout. So I've got Beacher's with Sharon too.
She doesn't even weigh eighty ninety pounds. I don't think
she's so tiny. Yeah, yeah, gosh. But when I met Aussie,
he could barely walk and he was sitting in a chair.
There was two hundred people to meet him.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
What year was this roughly twenty twenty twenty three, twenty
twenty three, yeah, oh okay, so being a pressure pa.
Oh wow, okay, so this was fairly recent, yees.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Very recent. Yeah. So I got to sit by him,
and I have two rings that were custom made to copy.
Is this cross ring and the starring. So he sees
the cross ring and he's fascinated with it, and he
says mone gout. I said, of course, there's just cold.
You're Aussie. I got born man silver. But anyway, he's
(22:59):
looking and he can't see it, keeps pushing my hand down.
My hand is on his leg. Yeah, you're not supposed
to touch these guys.
Speaker 9 (23:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Yeah, so I, you know, jerk back and the guy
on the other side starts laughing. The photographer starts screaming, Ozzy,
Ozzy won two three to tap the snap the picture,
you get one shot, okay. So I got this shot
of Ozzy and me grinning like hell and Ozzy looking
at the photographer and right after the shot he goes,
(23:28):
you wank and called him matter a couple of times.
Was not happy at all because he want to talk
about this ring.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
Oh okay.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
So the guy that was there, I hope, I got
say anker on here.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Yeah, I think that's fine.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
So anyway, the guy guy give us some time, and
Ozzy was fascinated where to come from talking about it.
Then he goes, look, Oz got two hundred people, we
got her, he's along. The last thing he said to
me was he goes, there's only two things that well,
might all go one on? Hey he got yeah wow,
and three feet up the ground I went and floated away.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
He was gonna come to Phoenix, Arizona and do another
one of those things. Yeah, only an hour flight from
LA Yeah, in a lyrics yet you know, yeah, he
couldn't even do that. I bought tickets for that and
that one they didn't hold.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
It and got canceled.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Hyeah.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
And I couldn't afford to get over to England for
the last show. Yeah, I mean that was just gosh.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
No doubt, no doubt, what a what a way to
go out though, like doing that show and raising all
that money for cancer research and for kids.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
And was the same man. Everybody said he was black
and dark, but he was very very Christian.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's funny. It's funny you mentioned
that because I remember he was on this was years ago.
He was on Alice Cooper's show, and uh, some people
might not know this about Alice Cooper, but he's a
devout Christian and and I remember I remember at the
end of the interview Ozzy he kind of went out
of his way to say God bless you to Alice.
And I thought, oh, that's interesting because you just don't
(25:07):
expect that necessarily. But but the but the character, you know,
the character of Ozzy Osbourne, you know obviously under that
was you know, you know, a really good guy. But
but I've always said, too black Sabbath to me is
and this is not an original thought. Others have said
this too, but the most misunderstood band in in history,
(25:28):
you know what I mean. Like I think actually I
think Ozzie said that once. You know, because if you
if you perceive Sabbath as being like evil and dark,
and well, yeah they're dark, but but their songs are not.
They're not promoting anything. I don't think anyone really thinks
this now anyway, but back in the day, you know,
people who are afraid of it whatever. You know, they're
(25:49):
not promoting something satanic or anything. It's a you know,
it's a commentary on life and the world. And you know,
war Pigs, I think is one of the greatest anti
war songs ever. But you know, if you go online
and you look at you know, look up a list
of great anti war songs, you know you'll hear a
lot of stuff from the you know, like more of
the from the hippies and whatnot. But you know you
(26:10):
won't see war Pigs on that list. But it's like,
why not. It's a fantastic anti war song in my opinion.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
Baboo spent a lot of time out on the road
throughout his life and he's met many many big rock stars. Yeah,
and he's used to tell him how you got all
your miles there, Baboo?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Oh yeah, I'm curious.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
I used to work for an Arizona company called Arizona Instruments,
and they sent me all over the world starting then
I got a job with another company in Massachusetts called
liq Wood Solids Control. Okay, they sent me all over
and then I got my own company. I went all over.
But while I was working for Arizona Instruments, I was
in Canada with a green card, a gold American Express card,
(26:55):
cart launch go wherever I want, no supervision, and Rush
would be playing on Triumph. These places down in the
United States were thousands of people.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
In fact, I saw him in eighty three at the
US Festival at California Triumph.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Oh wow.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
And so I was up in Canada and they were
playing and I'd go see him. They couldn't even sell
out five hundred seats.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
No kidding.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
In their own country they were not as popular as
the United States. Well, consequently, I get up and get
to meet the band, and by time two years was
over with, I knew the band Rush and the band
Triumph well enough that if there was a show in
Cold Lake, Alberta, I found a business reason to be there.
And I was in the dressing room and I you know,
(27:41):
I knew Neil Parrot very well. Really, he was well written,
he was an author, he was he was such an introvert.
He didn't want to have a lot to do with people.
Right the show was over, he would run to the limo.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I've always heard that about him from other people who
knew him. Yeah, that he Yeah, he was not comfortable
with the fame part of being famous.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
The only time he comes from behind his kit to
stand with the other guys in the band. Was the
last show we ever played.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:10):
How many times have you chased Kiss around the country?
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Oh my goodness, my ex wife April was Kiss on
a member like eight Yeah. Yeah, so Team any Christmas
if they came within five hundred bloody miles, I had
to go there, yep, and take her there and get
as good a tickets as we could afford. And back
in the eighties we spent five thousand dollars for a
meet and greet. Wow, that was a lot of money then, yeah,
(28:35):
but a lot more then. Yeah, But they did it right.
It was an hour. We got to meet everybody in
the band. Yeah, we got they had food, they had drinks.
They spent at least fifteen to twenty minutes with everybody
in there. Yeah, we got all the pictures we wanted
on our cell phones and such.
Speaker 9 (28:53):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
So I've got to say that Chris Kiss is one
of the best marketing bands out there.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Oh yeah, the most heavily merchandise band in history. I
think I think the Beatles is number two.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Oh, Team and Christmas you can buy Kiss caskets, kiss condoms.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
Oh yeah, with all the with all the time that
he spent out doing all this rock and roll stuff.
It's really a privilege to have him working for LOUD
because he knows you know, he knows a lot of people, people,
especially in New England. Yeah, a lot of people are
starting to know who the Baboo is. And yeah, we
have a great time with him, and I'm glad to
have him aboard. Actually kind of took him and he's
(29:36):
gonna be he's kind of the face of LOUD because
of his character.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
And yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
Yeah, you got a little trading cards made up to
the autographs, and yeah, we're having a good time with it.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
And that autograph card is gonna be worth so much
after I'm dead. Just it's gonna be worth its own
weight and papers.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
If you're just joining us, we've got Larry and a baboo.
How do you say her last time again?
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Think of it?
Speaker 9 (29:58):
Speakovich, Yep, I got it.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Oh you got it all right from a Loud Entertainment
here with us in studio. And so what's kind of
the long term you got I mean, you guys are
running at quite a pace, right.
Speaker 7 (30:13):
We are, and we're about to hold the theater events.
We just finished one at the Plymouth Memorial Hall.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
We've got the theater up in jaff in New Hampshire,
the Park Theater, and we've got Marshfield Fairground. We're trying
to do a three day event there in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
Okay. And we got a couple of locations that we
play in Providence with music. We go down the Cape,
we have Lauryl Hall, obviously, we're.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Here in Manchester Lot and we're down at the Vault
quite a bit too.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (30:43):
I do a little MC work at places like Rascals
for my good friend Frank Upolo. Okay, and there's a
little plug for you, Frank.
Speaker 9 (30:52):
It was great. It was great to meet him. He
took like a half hour of his time. The other
night we went to his club to see this country
line dance thing that works out all for him. Yeah,
so we went to check it out and he's what
gave us about a full half hour of his time
just to talk about what everybody's doing. Yeah, it was Yeah,
what a guy, nice guy man.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
Frank's whale in our polland yeah, yeah, he's definitely he's
got that minus touch almost anything he touches.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Now, what do you guys look for in terms of
venues to whole events like like, are there are there
specific things that you.
Speaker 9 (31:25):
Depending on the popularity of the band kind of tells
you what size staity you're gonna need. Okay, it always
doesn't turn out that way. Sometimes, you know, sell out
a smaller club is a better thing because it's a
you've got a great show and yeah it's packed and
people are having fun.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Better to have a small room that's full, right, then
it's then a big room that's exact half empty.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
But you got tribute Southdale, Like, well, you can help
me out with this, but like, get the let out.
They're killing it. They're killing it. The fifteen twenty thirty
thousand people coming out to say a tribute really yeah, wow,
killing it all over the country. Wow.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
I held an event at the excuse me, the Lowell
Memorial Theater. I was trying to get the lead out,
get the lead out, and they were seventy five hundred.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Within a month they were over.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Ten thousand, oh no kidding, Wow.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Within three months they were twenty. They sold out the
Red Rocks two Knights in a row, really bad. Took
them up to forty and I believe they get the
lead out is right around fifty thousand this show now,
And you know, it's really interesting because there's farmer members
than Led Zeppelin. They don't really even look like any
of led Zeppelin members, but their music is very, very
(32:35):
good and their promotion is top shelf.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
So are they the most successful tribute band?
Speaker 7 (32:42):
I would believe so, Yeah, I can. I would think
so because there's three that one completely unchained and yeah,
completely unchanged killing the two and they're very confident about
what they can draw.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
They come. They done a great job in Alison Chain's tribute. Uh,
the one we know that when Hale that's Van Hill
doing Okay. The Alison Chains band that we use a
lot is called Nothing Safe. As a matter of fact,
and November fifth, November twentieth, maybe you'll have to look
and look up Loud Entertainment, look up Steve O and
(33:17):
they're having a great Lane Staley tribute. Every year Steve
would fly out to Seattle to do the vocals for
a show out there that they have that tributes Lane Staley. Okay,
and Steve actually met Lane Staley's mom and he has
collaborated with all of them to bring us a great
show here in Boston at the Ballroom, and it's gonna
(33:39):
be a nothing but a tribute to Lane Staley, And
it's gonna be it's gonna be multiple artists on the
stage doing things like songs in him and things for him,
and one special song for his mom. And yeah, it's
gonna be a great show. If you're hearing Allison Chains
and you want to see the memorial, you're going to
see a really good a really good show. Okay, okay,
(33:59):
very cool. Once again, it's not a concert, it's a show.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotcha, I gotcha. Do you
guys have any advice for so you know, a lot
of musicians listen to the show, a lot of industry people.
That's that's kind of our our niche audience. I think,
do you have advice for if there's a musician listening
who wants to start a tribute band or maybe they
want to do a solo tribute thing or whatever it is, like, like,
do you have advice for how to get into it?
(34:22):
Because obviously there's you know, when you're doing that and
you're kind of doing that in tribute to someone else's
artistic vision and they're what they've created. I mean, there's
there's probably there's probably mistakes that people make, right when
they try to do that.
Speaker 9 (34:37):
Yeah, when you put out a tribute to it's like,
you know, you gotta be good, You got to have
it down, yeah, because if you don't, it doesn't serve
the purpose of what you're trying to do. Yeah, So
don't don't try to jump out too quick. Get yourself
together before you, you know, decide to take the stage
with someone else's name, so to speak.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
It's uh, yeah, yeah, make sure you've really got it.
Speaker 7 (35:00):
Honor, because you can't do this tribute stuff halfway.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Right, right? What about have you guys worked with anybody
who who doesn't do it, like who kind of puts
their own twist on it. Like I'll give you an
example that I don't know if they're still around or not.
But there was a tribute band I happen to find
them on YouTube one time, a Kiss tribute band called
Reason to Kiss. And they what but what they did
because the name of the band was a play on
(35:25):
the song Reason to Live, which obviously came out during
the non makeup era. And what this band did was
they called it reason to Kiss, and it was they
were doing acoustic versions only of eighties non makeup era
Kiss song. So there's really it's funny because some of
these Kiss tribute bands they find like this weird niche
and it was like, I was kind of fascinated by it.
(35:46):
But that's but they're obviously doing something different. They're doing Kiss,
but they're putting their own spin, their own twist on it.
Speaker 9 (35:53):
I mean, have you.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Guys worked with anybody who does that, because there's a
risk in doing that, right, because that can blow up
in your face, Like, like, do any of the bands
that you guys have worked with do anything like that?
Speaker 7 (36:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (36:05):
No, no, would you.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
If you came across someone who did do something like that,
would you give them a chance or would that be too.
Speaker 9 (36:12):
We're always wanting to give you a chance. You just
gonna show us what you got. Yeah, We'll find a
stage for you. It's just you got to have it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
We being promoters, we can't be left with the bag,
I mean right, you know. So one of the reasons
that we've been able to get so far is because
we've been able to work with some bands who nobody
else at touch Yeah, and we go in a semi
partnership with the moan, we say, look, this is it.
(36:40):
We'll split whatever happens to play for the door.
Speaker 9 (36:43):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
And some of the venues can't fill. We had the
Jewel over here, we had two hundred in there one night.
Speaker 9 (36:52):
Pet White Athlete, White Snake and looks at Kill. Yeah,
it looks at Kill, Motley Crue. Yeah. Yeah. We had
a good time over there that.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
We did well.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
Tonight's shows got a lot of tickets sold to it. Good. Yeah,
you're gonna be a great show tonight if you can
get out at the Jewel in Manchester, New Hampshire. Yeah,
we're going to be having Metallica and a Metallica tribute
yea and a guard Smack tribute called head Smack. Okay
and on on point like that's great. I can't. Yeah,
(37:24):
it's it's nice, it's good, it's loud, it's it's real solid.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Is it is it just the two bands or is
there is there an opener who's not not really advertised
or is it just yeah yo?
Speaker 9 (37:35):
Yeah. Do you guys do a lot of shows a
Jewel or.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
At one time we're gonna do fifty, but we just
have to back away and two other shows other places. Yeah,
I mean, we couldn't put all eggs in one basket, right.
Speaker 9 (37:48):
I would say we're probably at the Jewel like twice
a month, okay, maybe even three times. Sometimes. We got
a big, big next Thursday night, excuse me, next Friday night.
We have a national tribute coming to the Jewel called Satisfaction. Okay.
They are a great rolling Stones band that like travels
the world. Oh no, kidding. Yeah, So that's gonna be
(38:09):
a great show over there.
Speaker 7 (38:10):
And you know you got to have some horns to
get up there and do Mick.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Jagger, Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, that's absolutely.
Speaker 9 (38:18):
We're absolutely gonna Halloween party coming up on October seventeenth
over here at the Jewel. Yeah, we're going to be
bringing Lords of Salem, which is a Rob Zombie tribute, okay,
and uh Sun and Steel, which is an Iron Maiden tribute.
And both of them are like great, oh really, yeah,
we enjoy it. Some people come and you know, they
(38:38):
watch it and they're like, wow, I didn't think anybody
else could do that. Yeah, and some of the guys
are really really good at what they do.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
And then like, what what's the what's the biggest show
you guys have done so far? Like in terms of attendance,
and we're the one that one that really stands out
is like, yeah, we had.
Speaker 9 (38:56):
A country show last week that's a fifteen, had fifteen
hundred seats. We did okay with that, and most of
them are like somewhere between, say two hundred and five hundred.
Seems to be our big We're trying to branch out.
We want to get into those places that are selling
one thousand and fifteen hundred, two thousand seats because we
(39:16):
want to bring in those national acts from around the
around the country, around the world.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
I completely unchanged. Jean Henrickson is willing to work for
the door. He's so confident a part of the door.
He's so confident in him, his draw and his band.
At one time he had this guy that was almost
fantastic drummer I can think of, But he's got a
drummer now and equals and yeah, I mean it just
(39:40):
that's kind of Jean Henrickson is Tommy Henrickson of The
Hollywood Vampire's older brother. Oh okay, oh interesting, And I
mean Jean and I are two years different difference in
age and he's like a chiseled Greek statue.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
Oh really.
Speaker 9 (39:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
I mean I.
Speaker 7 (39:57):
Don't even know of any twenty year old to can
go shirt. Let's eat and go shirt.
Speaker 9 (40:01):
Oh no kidding, Oh that's cool. You just see him
up there, jumping around like he's twenty five.
Speaker 7 (40:06):
Rat just had hip surgery, but he still does the
kicks up and over.
Speaker 9 (40:10):
The Wonder why he's had Wonder why he's had hip surgery? Wow.
Speaker 5 (40:15):
Wow. Whatever Iggy Pop's been doing, he must have been.
This guy must have been doing it too.
Speaker 9 (40:20):
He needs he's doing it though, and they're doing very well. Matter.
They're all over the place a matter of fact, yesterday
I think last night or tonight they're in Melbourne, Florida. Early. Yeah,
completely unchanged. It's got it going on. Wow.
Speaker 7 (40:32):
He does over one hundred and twenty gigs a year.
He's the hardest. Like I said, they only know of
two other guys that worked as hard as him.
Speaker 9 (40:39):
Yeah, oh wow. Sometime in the early spring, if you
follow us, you'll get the date we're going to be
doing a big festival at the Marshfield Fairgrounds in Marshfield, Massachusetts. Okay,
we plan on having two really big bands there on
Friday night. That'll you know, pack us in then Saturday
night we're doing I think eight bands, and then Sunday

a pig roast on Sunday. Okay, so well, basically you
have a show for the entire weekend. Yeah, there's gonna
be a good time. Okay. We got some really good,
good people that are available for it, and we're starting
to put it together. We should have a set date
by the end of the week. Yeah. Nice.
Speaker 7 (41:17):
I'm hoping we can get four horsemen in on that.
Speaker 9 (41:20):
That would be nice. Four horsemen.
Speaker 7 (41:22):
Who are Who's that Metallica trip? One of the best
ones out there?
Speaker 5 (41:25):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (41:26):
Yeah, for Sean A good act. I want to tell
you really yeah? Mmm?
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Who?
Speaker 5 (41:33):
By the way, so what what band has the most
like from what you've observed, has the most tributes because
I've always had the impression there's a lot of Motley
Crue tribute bands.
Speaker 9 (41:42):
Am I am?
Speaker 5 (41:43):
I right about that?
Speaker 9 (41:43):
It seems it seems like they're a Motley Crew.
Speaker 5 (41:45):
Tribute bands are everywhere.
Speaker 9 (41:46):
Alison chains too, have a lot of them. Yeah, that's
it's saturated with Alison chains out there. Yeah. Only there's
a couple that are really good. But then you know,
you got some.
Speaker 7 (41:56):
Some of the East coast outlets. That's the only that's
the only Alice banned out here. There's only one on
the West coast something. Mike Carmo is freaking I go
out with other people, and when I went with Mike
Carmo to see Alice Cooper, people were walking past me
like I.
Speaker 9 (42:15):
Was a ghostly to get a picture with Alice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mike.
Mike's great. He puts on the whole act. It's so
theatrical up on the stage because he's acting out like
the the meaning of the song the whole time. He's
very just like Alice Cooper does. Yeah, very good with that.
(42:38):
Is that? Did you bring that in?
Speaker 7 (42:40):
No?
Speaker 5 (42:41):
Oh, that's Jenny's. He can't steal Jenny's.
Speaker 9 (42:45):
I can't drive.
Speaker 7 (42:47):
I'm hoping I could get some water.
Speaker 5 (42:49):
We're almost We're almost we're almost done, guys, because we're
getting close to we're getting close to the top of
the hour.
Speaker 9 (42:54):
What's that?
Speaker 5 (42:55):
No, you don't know, so I'm older.
Speaker 7 (42:58):

I would happen.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
Yeah, we can only have water in here, any We

if something gets spilled, it's uh, I'm in a lot
of trouble.
Speaker 7 (43:10):
Yeah, no, fire on the ship.
Speaker 5 (43:12):
That's right, A lot of cords around you. Yes, yes,
but no. We're about down the segment anyway. But before
we wrap up, so I want to thank you guys
for coming in. This has been wonderful and like I
said too, you know, because I've been in the music
industry for a long time, but the tribute band zone
isn't something I know that much about. So this has
been really interesting for me because I love to learn
as much as I can, and it sounds like you
guys are having a lot of success, which is great,
(43:34):
so I love it. Where should people go online? Like,
where's the best place to go to keep up with

have Larry from Loud Entertainment is here. Good morning, Larry,
good morning, how are you good good and you're your
(05:14):
associate here and by the way, for those of you, uh,
for those of you who are listening to the show,
because obviously this is first and foremost a radio show.
But if you are just listening to the audio, I
do implore you go back and check out the video
because we have mister I'm not sure your last.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Name, Baboo Baboo, Figure Rich Fikovich, Pico Rich if.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
I feel like there's an accent there that I can't replicate,
but welcome, sir, Thank.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
You, sir. I appreciate it, and thank you for allowing
us in today.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Absolutely no, it's wonderful, too wonderful to meet you both.
So uh we should and you know, we'll circle back
back to it at the end, but I think kind
of probably priority number one at least for people listening
live on Saturday. Is you all got a big show tonight?
Speaker 9 (05:55):
Right? Yeah, sure, we absolutely do. We got coming up tonight,
have a Metallica tribute along with the god Smack tribute
at the Jewel right here in Manchester.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yeah, right across the street from where we are.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
You can throw stones at it.
Speaker 9 (06:09):
Yeah yeah, yeah, you you literally could.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (06:11):
Absolutely, So that's uh tonight. What time does that start?
Doors open at seven, show starts at eight. Tickets are
available at the door.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Now is it is it two different bands or are
they is it one band two tribute to both. Oh okay, oh,
very cool, very cool. Now you do you do a
lot of tribute shows, right.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
We do. We probably put on at least fifty shows
a year. Wow.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Okay, so you got something pretty much every week then, yeah.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
Pretty much. Sometimes next week we got three nights in
a row. Oh no kidding.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Wow, So that's kind of I feel like that's kind
of your specialty, right, but it's not the only thing.
Because you know you're involved in Swarmy Fest. We should
mention that too. Yep, you're the promoter for a Swarmy
Fest coming up November fifteenth. That wore my I wore
my Stepsis shirt of course, the new one that they
got me last week. Yeah, this will be uh, you know,
this show, not the station, but this show specifically. We're
one of the spots answers involved in that, and Jenny
(07:03):
and I always we always look forward to Swarmy Fest
every year. So this is going to be great and
how but this is your this is your first year
Loud Entertainments, first year involved in that, correct.
Speaker 9 (07:14):
In Swimmy Fish. Yeah great, So how did that come about?
I'm really curious.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
It's it's a wonderful thing to be a part of,
but to be you know, that's but you've got a
little extra responsibility, right because like Jenny and I just
have to show up and kind of represent what we
do and whatnot. But as the promoter, you know, you've
got a lot on your shoulders rights as the promoters
of the show.
Speaker 9 (07:35):
Yes, absolutely, there's a lot of organization organizing things that
particular show has. It's not just a show, I should say,
it's not just a concert. It is actually a show. Yeah,
we're going to bring a lot of different accent and
do some different things and you know, we try to
bring you know, bring different people in and have a
good time. And the more the merrier on that one. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah, So how long has loud entertainment existed?
Speaker 9 (07:58):
And and and have have.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Both of you been because baboo, you're your part I mean,
are you partners in this or are you.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
There are three of us involved in it. Were other
gentleman named Joe Gun.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Okay, okay, So so you've been you've both been there
from the beginning. Obviously you guys started you started it.
Speaker 9 (08:20):
We were actually doing a show at Default and uh
I at that point I didn't know mister bab Yeah,
and he walked in the room and I was sitting
there with my girlfriend and she said.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I assume I assume you noticed him right away.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
Well she did. Yeah. She said to me, see that
guy over there. I said yeah. She said, that's the
way a promoter should be dressed.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Nice.
Speaker 9 (08:39):
So later on after the show, there was a local
band playing at a bar and not five down the road,
and uh, we went over there to see that after
we were done, and mister Babu walked in again. Yeah,
so I call her sent him an email the next day.
He sent me one back and I mean, we've been
pretty good friends since well I shouldn't even say good friends.
(08:59):
We talked daily, so every day excellent?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Excellent. So then how did uh, I mean, did one
of you pitch the idea to the other for loud
entertainment or how did that happen?
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Well?
Speaker 9 (09:10):
Was doing our once you tell him what's up with that?
Which one on the question?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
He just asked about loud entertainment, Like, how did the
two of you? I mean, it sounds like you became
fast friends, But then how did loud entertainment come into existence?
Speaker 7 (09:24):
Well, loud was doing shows and then as as Larry mentioned,
we kind of met up at this little bar after
a gig at at the Vault, okay, and he proposed
that I do all of their events and m see
everything that they do, Oh, okay, which is Gemini, Christmas
a lot. Yeah. And I was, you know, slipping around
getting here dribs and drabs, you know ones he tuesdays.
(09:48):
Now I'm getting like three nights in a given week. Yeah.
I know some bands that you know, they'll do over
one hundred gigs a year.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
I see us in twenty twenty six being there, Yeah,
twenty twenty seven at the latest.
Speaker 9 (10:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
But there's a lot of venues that are closing. There's
a couple of them that are that we're losing, and
that will mean that the bands will have better, better attendance,
I believe, because there's a lot of people out there
for these tribute bands to get a foothold.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
I try. I try to say all the time that
you know, at our age doing these tribute bands, you know,
half of us have passed away. The other half never
came back to music. So there's a small piece of
pie to split up. When there's nineteen shows going on
within one hundred miles of each other, right, Yeah, everybody
gets everybody gets a few. Yeah, so when you do
get that show with one hundred and fifty two hundred
(10:45):
people in a small club, you actually had a good night,
because that's that's accomplishing something. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I hate to see venues closing though, that's that's terrible.
Speaker 9 (10:54):
One of the one of the big ones out on
the what is that the boat? The boat? Okay, the
boat is closing.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
It's cool though that like you guys take the attitude
of well, you know, it's it's terrible when venues closed,
but you know you got to find the silver linings, right.
Speaker 9 (11:10):
So show must go on. Yep, yep.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
There's never been more tribute pans now never ever.
Speaker 9 (11:17):
Ever.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
The first tribute band that I knew was way back
in the early eighties was called Surgical Steel and they
were copying Judish Priest. Yeah, and that was the only
tribute pan then. But now Gimiani Christmas. There's a Linda
ronstant One that's up at the two below.
Speaker 9 (11:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Ah, these tribute bands come out. We just got through
having a couple of really great country Western trips down
at the Plymouth Memorial Hall, which we're going to be
doing shows later on this year again excellent and some
country events. We found out that there's a lot of
people out there that you know, I know, you're a
rock station, but there are a lot of country fans
out there.
Speaker 9 (11:53):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
We have actually our guests in our number two, Matt Axton.
He's white accent son. Oh my, so we got it.
You got a country act in the second hour today
as a matter of yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
We're having a little bit long. We love all types
of music, all genres, you know. Yeah, do what we
can to help out no matter what it is.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Oh yeah, absolutely, So why why is it? Why do
you guys think there are more tribute bands than ever?
Speaker 9 (12:19):
Right now?
Speaker 10 (12:20):
What?
Speaker 9 (12:20):
What?
Speaker 5 (12:20):
What's the reason for that?
Speaker 9 (12:21):
Do you think?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
I mean, is is there something that's driving that?
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Or Yeah, they want to be musicians and they want
to work.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yeah yeah, yeah, because you can. You can really make
a living doing that, right, sure you can.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Yeah, yeah, but you also got to realize that the
competition is very rough.
Speaker 9 (12:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
There's a couple of bands out there that do well.
A guy named Miguel and Kalvis runs a band called
Back in Black. They really do well. They're ac DC
all over New England all the way to Western PA.
Then there's a band called Crazy Train Ozzie Experience. These
cats go on Hawaii now granted Ozzie just passed, and
(12:59):
the riding the crash to the way they just got
through performing for like eight thousand people.
Speaker 9 (13:05):
Oh wow.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Uh they're they're all over the place now and they're
coming down to.
Speaker 9 (13:11):
The Jewel and the Jewel I mean to excuse me,
They're coming down to the Vault next Saturday night, Crazy
Train and uh, who we got with them?
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Sugar? Maybe there's so many shows on the schedule. Yeah,
say it because it's oh Crazy Training White Steak, which
is the White Snake tribute. Those guys are hot too.
They are really good right now. Yeah. Absolutely, they're starting
to get more and more, playing bigger theaters and stuff. Okay,
so yeah, now how does it work? I suppose.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I don't know if as as the promoters, if if
you have to worry about this part, or it's more
of the band has to worry about this part. These
individual bands, but I've always been curious about because that's
not a with tribute bands, that's not a particular zone
I've ever had any involvement in like, how does that
work legally like any other job, because pay a tax? No,
(14:01):
but I mean, but I mean in terms of intellectual
property and whatnot, Like, do you know any because I'm
sure there's stories out there of bands that are maybe
doing a tribute a tribute act and they get you know,
somebody kind of taps them on the shoulder, sends them
a season assist letter or something saying we don't want
you doing this and.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
You have to have original photos. Okay, use the word
tribute a lot when you're explaining your shows. Okay, we
just had a recent issue with our show that's going
on tonight. Oh, about two months ago, when we started
advertising the show, someone took our venue, our time, our date,
and posted real pictures of the real Godsmack on stump hub.
(14:42):
Oh Wowally, I started getting calls from people and saying, hey,
we just paid three hundred and eighty dollars before tickets.
Oh my god, I'm like you crazy. So I'm actually
letting them come tonight. Yeah, the people that don't have tickets,
I'm just going to give them a break at the door.
And they still got to you know, obviously still got
to pay to come in. But I'm going to tell
(15:03):
them that I've already spoke to stump Hup and Stumphub
said to let the people that don't have valid tickets
to tell them to call them in the morning and
they will they'll fix the situation. They can't do anything
about it until after the show.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Okay, So somebody, somebody was pulling a scam. In other words, so, yeah,
the ups they took your show made it look like
it was the actual band.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
Yeah, and we actually got Wow, we actually got a
phone call from like God Smacks people and they're like,
what are you guys doing? We're like, whoa, that ain't us.
I got a call from John over at the Jewel
and he said, what's going on? Why are you doing this? Yeah,
he said, John, that's not us. So we all looked
into it and we ended up figuring out that it
was a scam.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Oh, that's crazy. I can see how that would happen though. Wow.
So have you ever had a situation where a band
is supposed to play and they come to you and
they say, we've got a problem. We got a letter
we heard from somebody's lawyer. That hasn't happened that's good. No,
that's good, you.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Know, And if you really think about it, these tribute
bands are doing the bands that they're you know, copying
and on or because they're keeping their music alive. Yes,
and they're helping sell their.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Product exactly, exactly. Yeah. I often, you know, when the
subject of tribute bands come up. You know, my favorite
band of all time is Kiss, and I'm well aware
that because i've you know, I've read a lot of
books about this. How during the eighties, when Kiss was
in their non makeup era, you know, these tribute bands
started popping up of kissing full makeup, and Kiss has
(16:27):
always I've seen and heard a couple things that make
me think in recent years they might have changed their
policy slightly. But I know, for a long time, Kiss
was really good about you know, they weren't going after anybody.
Leave them alone, let them do their thing, because they're
actually helped. There was a Kiss tribute band in the
early nineties. I can't remember who it was, but there
(16:51):
was a guy from Boston who was in the band
who they they did like five thousand seats at a
tribute show in Canada, you know, doing the full makeup show.
So it's it's like, you know, so they were making
money and you know it helps, you know, it helps
promote the band that they're a tribute of. But I
do know too that there's like I remember a few
(17:13):
years ago, I think there was a story about Springsteen
was harassing somebody who was doing a Springsteen show, saying
I don't want you doing But I don't know what
the you know, details were about that eater, And maybe
there was something that this guy was doing that that
Springsteen objected to specifically. I'm not sure, but I know
that you can run into trouble. But but it sounds
like it's been pretty smooth for you guys overall.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Right, Well, you got to remember the master marketer is
Geene Simmons. He's got one thing that I think it's,
although a little bit harsh, very correct. He says, if
if you think that money cannot buy you happiness, you've
never had money, right.
Speaker 9 (17:52):
True.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
He's the master marketer. He makes money off of everything
he touches, and he's happy. He's heck to have these
kids tributes out there. Yeah, here's one that Larry and
I know, well, kiss story with a guy named Vinnie,
and Vinnie is spinning off a little bit into an
Aussie trip that they call Sweet Leave. Okay, Vinnie's great.
He's been a musician all his life. They're over in
(18:14):
the New York area, Western New York area mostly so
history hasn't come around. We're hoping we can set something up.
Oh yeah, in the future.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And if you do it in
they're coming here. We'd love to get him on the show.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Oh if we'd love to get him in the studio.
All makeup and everything. They are bloody right on. I
mean every aspect, boots everything, Kate, Yeah, perfect makeup.
Speaker 9 (18:40):
They are the most The blood running from his mouth.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
I don't know if he does that breathing fire. I
don't believe he does that one. The pyrotechnic thing, and
that's kind of a game thing. I mean, you hold
all the liquid in your mouth, you stew it out,
and then you purse your lips because if you draw
back you can get a face full of fire.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Oh yeah, yeah. Who's the I mean, is there anyone
you guys have booked who has particularly surprised you in
terms of just how.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
Good where you go? Wow?
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Like, an absolutely young band named Under the Horizon has
been very very good.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
We love we love them, and we should clarify to
for listeners who don't know that they're not a tribute
but there. We've had them on the show and Jenny
and I just saw them last. It was a week
ago today actually at Bad Burger Okay with Vices Inc.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
And Ye played Dad. They've been making some noise. I mean,
those kids and that guitarist is crazy. The drum is great,
and the girl she loosens up a little more. Every
single show. You find her doing something better and better
and better, and she's just growing along with the band.
And it's I mean, honestly, did one of the better
younger because they are real young. Ain't one in the
(19:57):
band that's over eighteen? Yeah, yeah, but we tried to
put them in all our metal shows. We think they're great. Yeah.
I mean the dad, Mike Palmer, he's taking good care
of them kids. He bought the bus.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
He's pushing them, a yellow school bus. They got a
yellow school bush. Yeah, the horizon on the side. It's
really great.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
Oh yeah, yeah, take you back in time when they
used to just travel around and a bus together. You know,
every time they pull up to a show, I'm waiting
for the Pocas family to come back right right.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
They've gotten heavier too than when they started. The first
time Jenny and I saw them live, it was right
after they were on this show and we went I
think it was that same weekend we went and saw
them at the Tupelo. They were opening for Was it
Great White? They're doing that again?
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
I can't remember it was Great White. It was they're
actually opening up a Great White again in a couple
of weeks.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
The reason I couldn't remember is because Jenny and I
went to that show, but we just stayed for Under
the Horizon and they work where, you know. We just
wanted to see them, and they.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
Were kind of like another great band that we're working
with and see a lot of potential with. There's a
new band, kind of new Stone Crusher.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
I don't know them.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
They got new album out. Their stuff is really really hot.
Speaker 9 (21:03):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Their vocalist was named best vocalist in the local area
by a Worcester magazine. I can't remember exactly which magazine.
Oh really, he's got some pipes, no doubt. Oh my gosh,
he's got one of the best. When he hits the
high notes.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
My toes girl, really yeah nice? So a little bit
of a changing gear is baboo. I have to ask
you because Larry said was talking about I should ask
you this about the time you met Ozzie.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
Oh yeah, excuse me. So there was a casino in
King of Prussia, PA that he came to. Of all places,
he was five hours drive away from me, my idol,
my lifelong idol. You know all the places in New World,
he's five hours.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
So I went for all four days and I met
him several times, and the last day I met him.
But when I first come up to him, I was
kind of expecting him to go, oh, gosh, look there
I am, and he kind of went, oh geez, no, no,
but I have this coat on and he dug it
and he goes Sharon. Sharon goes, oh see you look
(22:11):
at this blouch cout. So I've got Beacher's with Sharon too.
She doesn't even weigh eighty ninety pounds. I don't think
she's so tiny. Yeah, yeah, gosh. But when I met Aussie,
he could barely walk and he was sitting in a chair.
There was two hundred people to meet him.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
What year was this roughly twenty twenty twenty three, twenty
twenty three, yeah, oh okay, so being a pressure pa.
Oh wow, okay, so this was fairly recent, yees.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Very recent. Yeah. So I got to sit by him,
and I have two rings that were custom made to copy.
Is this cross ring and the starring. So he sees
the cross ring and he's fascinated with it, and he
says mone gout. I said, of course, there's just cold.
You're Aussie. I got born man silver. But anyway, he's
(22:59):
looking and he can't see it, keeps pushing my hand down.
My hand is on his leg. Yeah, you're not supposed
to touch these guys.
Speaker 9 (23:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Yeah, so I, you know, jerk back and the guy
on the other side starts laughing. The photographer starts screaming, Ozzy,
Ozzy won two three to tap the snap the picture,
you get one shot, okay. So I got this shot
of Ozzy and me grinning like hell and Ozzy looking
at the photographer and right after the shot he goes,
(23:28):
you wank and called him matter a couple of times.
Was not happy at all because he want to talk
about this ring.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
Oh okay.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
So the guy that was there, I hope, I got
say anker on here.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Yeah, I think that's fine.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
So anyway, the guy guy give us some time, and
Ozzy was fascinated where to come from talking about it.
Then he goes, look, Oz got two hundred people, we
got her, he's along. The last thing he said to
me was he goes, there's only two things that well,
might all go one on? Hey he got yeah wow,
and three feet up the ground I went and floated away.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
He was gonna come to Phoenix, Arizona and do another
one of those things. Yeah, only an hour flight from
LA Yeah, in a lyrics yet you know, yeah, he
couldn't even do that. I bought tickets for that and
that one they didn't hold.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
It and got canceled.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Hyeah.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:24):
And I couldn't afford to get over to England for
the last show. Yeah, I mean that was just gosh.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
No doubt, no doubt, what a what a way to
go out though, like doing that show and raising all
that money for cancer research and for kids.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
And was the same man. Everybody said he was black
and dark, but he was very very Christian.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's funny. It's funny you mentioned
that because I remember he was on this was years ago.
He was on Alice Cooper's show, and uh, some people
might not know this about Alice Cooper, but he's a
devout Christian and and I remember I remember at the
end of the interview Ozzy he kind of went out
of his way to say God bless you to Alice.
And I thought, oh, that's interesting because you just don't
(25:07):
expect that necessarily. But but the but the character, you know,
the character of Ozzy Osbourne, you know obviously under that
was you know, you know, a really good guy. But
but I've always said, too black Sabbath to me is
and this is not an original thought. Others have said
this too, but the most misunderstood band in in history,
(25:28):
you know what I mean. Like I think actually I
think Ozzie said that once. You know, because if you
if you perceive Sabbath as being like evil and dark,
and well, yeah they're dark, but but their songs are not.
They're not promoting anything. I don't think anyone really thinks
this now anyway, but back in the day, you know,
people who are afraid of it whatever. You know, they're
(25:49):
not promoting something satanic or anything. It's a you know,
it's a commentary on life and the world. And you know,
war Pigs, I think is one of the greatest anti
war songs ever. But you know, if you go online
and you look at you know, look up a list
of great anti war songs, you know you'll hear a
lot of stuff from the you know, like more of
the from the hippies and whatnot. But you know you
(26:10):
won't see war Pigs on that list. But it's like,
why not. It's a fantastic anti war song in my opinion.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
Baboo spent a lot of time out on the road
throughout his life and he's met many many big rock stars. Yeah,
and he's used to tell him how you got all
your miles there, Baboo?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Oh yeah, I'm curious.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
I used to work for an Arizona company called Arizona Instruments,
and they sent me all over the world starting then
I got a job with another company in Massachusetts called
liq Wood Solids Control. Okay, they sent me all over
and then I got my own company. I went all over.
But while I was working for Arizona Instruments, I was
in Canada with a green card, a gold American Express card,
(26:55):
cart launch go wherever I want, no supervision, and Rush
would be playing on Triumph. These places down in the
United States were thousands of people.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
In fact, I saw him in eighty three at the
US Festival at California Triumph.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Oh wow.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
And so I was up in Canada and they were
playing and I'd go see him. They couldn't even sell
out five hundred seats.
Speaker 9 (27:18):
No kidding.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
In their own country they were not as popular as
the United States. Well, consequently, I get up and get
to meet the band, and by time two years was
over with, I knew the band Rush and the band
Triumph well enough that if there was a show in
Cold Lake, Alberta, I found a business reason to be there.
And I was in the dressing room and I you know,
(27:41):
I knew Neil Parrot very well. Really, he was well written,
he was an author, he was he was such an introvert.
He didn't want to have a lot to do with people.
Right the show was over, he would run to the limo.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I've always heard that about him from other people who
knew him. Yeah, that he Yeah, he was not comfortable
with the fame part of being famous.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
The only time he comes from behind his kit to
stand with the other guys in the band. Was the
last show we ever played.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:10):
How many times have you chased Kiss around the country?
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Oh my goodness, my ex wife April was Kiss on
a member like eight Yeah. Yeah, so Team any Christmas
if they came within five hundred bloody miles, I had
to go there, yep, and take her there and get
as good a tickets as we could afford. And back
in the eighties we spent five thousand dollars for a
meet and greet. Wow, that was a lot of money then, yeah,
(28:35):
but a lot more then. Yeah, But they did it right.
It was an hour. We got to meet everybody in
the band. Yeah, we got they had food, they had drinks.
They spent at least fifteen to twenty minutes with everybody
in there. Yeah, we got all the pictures we wanted
on our cell phones and such.
Speaker 9 (28:53):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
So I've got to say that Chris Kiss is one
of the best marketing bands out there.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Oh yeah, the most heavily merchandise band in history. I
think I think the Beatles is number two.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Oh, Team and Christmas you can buy Kiss caskets, kiss condoms.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
Oh yeah, with all the with all the time that
he spent out doing all this rock and roll stuff.
It's really a privilege to have him working for LOUD
because he knows you know, he knows a lot of people, people,
especially in New England. Yeah, a lot of people are
starting to know who the Baboo is. And yeah, we
have a great time with him, and I'm glad to
have him aboard. Actually kind of took him and he's
(29:36):
gonna be he's kind of the face of LOUD because
of his character.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
And yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
Yeah, you got a little trading cards made up to
the autographs, and yeah, we're having a good time with it.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
And that autograph card is gonna be worth so much
after I'm dead. Just it's gonna be worth its own
weight and papers.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
If you're just joining us, we've got Larry and a baboo.
How do you say her last time again?
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Think of it?
Speaker 9 (29:58):
Speakovich, Yep, I got it.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Oh you got it all right from a Loud Entertainment
here with us in studio. And so what's kind of
the long term you got I mean, you guys are
running at quite a pace, right.
Speaker 7 (30:13):
We are, and we're about to hold the theater events.
We just finished one at the Plymouth Memorial Hall.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
We've got the theater up in jaff in New Hampshire,
the Park Theater, and we've got Marshfield Fairground. We're trying
to do a three day event there in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
Okay. And we got a couple of locations that we
play in Providence with music. We go down the Cape,
we have Lauryl Hall, obviously, we're.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Here in Manchester Lot and we're down at the Vault
quite a bit too.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (30:43):
I do a little MC work at places like Rascals
for my good friend Frank Upolo. Okay, and there's a
little plug for you, Frank.
Speaker 9 (30:52):
It was great. It was great to meet him. He
took like a half hour of his time. The other
night we went to his club to see this country
line dance thing that works out all for him. Yeah,
so we went to check it out and he's what
gave us about a full half hour of his time
just to talk about what everybody's doing. Yeah, it was Yeah,
what a guy, nice guy man.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
Frank's whale in our polland yeah, yeah, he's definitely he's
got that minus touch almost anything he touches.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Now, what do you guys look for in terms of
venues to whole events like like, are there are there
specific things that you.
Speaker 9 (31:25):
Depending on the popularity of the band kind of tells
you what size staity you're gonna need. Okay, it always
doesn't turn out that way. Sometimes, you know, sell out
a smaller club is a better thing because it's a
you've got a great show and yeah it's packed and
people are having fun.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Better to have a small room that's full, right, then
it's then a big room that's exact half empty.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
But you got tribute Southdale, Like, well, you can help
me out with this, but like, get the let out.
They're killing it. They're killing it. The fifteen twenty thirty
thousand people coming out to say a tribute really yeah, wow,
killing it all over the country. Wow.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
I held an event at the excuse me, the Lowell
Memorial Theater. I was trying to get the lead out,
get the lead out, and they were seventy five hundred.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Within a month they were over.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Ten thousand, oh no kidding, Wow.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Within three months they were twenty. They sold out the
Red Rocks two Knights in a row, really bad. Took
them up to forty and I believe they get the
lead out is right around fifty thousand this show now,
And you know, it's really interesting because there's farmer members
than Led Zeppelin. They don't really even look like any
of led Zeppelin members, but their music is very, very
(32:35):
good and their promotion is top shelf.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
So are they the most successful tribute band?
Speaker 7 (32:42):
I would believe so, Yeah, I can. I would think
so because there's three that one completely unchained and yeah,
completely unchanged killing the two and they're very confident about
what they can draw.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
They come. They done a great job in Alison Chain's tribute. Uh,
the one we know that when Hale that's Van Hill
doing Okay. The Alison Chains band that we use a
lot is called Nothing Safe. As a matter of fact,
and November fifth, November twentieth, maybe you'll have to look
and look up Loud Entertainment, look up Steve O and
(33:17):
they're having a great Lane Staley tribute. Every year Steve
would fly out to Seattle to do the vocals for
a show out there that they have that tributes Lane Staley. Okay,
and Steve actually met Lane Staley's mom and he has
collaborated with all of them to bring us a great
show here in Boston at the Ballroom, and it's gonna
(33:39):
be a nothing but a tribute to Lane Staley, And
it's gonna be it's gonna be multiple artists on the
stage doing things like songs in him and things for him,
and one special song for his mom. And yeah, it's
gonna be a great show. If you're hearing Allison Chains
and you want to see the memorial, you're going to
see a really good a really good show. Okay, okay,
(33:59):
very cool. Once again, it's not a concert, it's a show.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotcha, I gotcha. Do you
guys have any advice for so you know, a lot
of musicians listen to the show, a lot of industry people.
That's that's kind of our our niche audience. I think,
do you have advice for if there's a musician listening
who wants to start a tribute band or maybe they
want to do a solo tribute thing or whatever it is, like, like,
do you have advice for how to get into it?
(34:22):
Because obviously there's you know, when you're doing that and
you're kind of doing that in tribute to someone else's
artistic vision and they're what they've created. I mean, there's
there's probably there's probably mistakes that people make, right when
they try to do that.
Speaker 9 (34:37):
Yeah, when you put out a tribute to it's like,
you know, you gotta be good, You got to have
it down, yeah, because if you don't, it doesn't serve
the purpose of what you're trying to do. Yeah, So
don't don't try to jump out too quick. Get yourself
together before you, you know, decide to take the stage
with someone else's name, so to speak.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
It's uh, yeah, yeah, make sure you've really got it.
Speaker 7 (35:00):
Honor, because you can't do this tribute stuff halfway.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Right, right? What about have you guys worked with anybody
who who doesn't do it, like who kind of puts
their own twist on it. Like I'll give you an
example that I don't know if they're still around or not.
But there was a tribute band I happen to find
them on YouTube one time, a Kiss tribute band called
Reason to Kiss. And they what but what they did
because the name of the band was a play on
(35:25):
the song Reason to Live, which obviously came out during
the non makeup era. And what this band did was
they called it reason to Kiss, and it was they
were doing acoustic versions only of eighties non makeup era
Kiss song. So there's really it's funny because some of
these Kiss tribute bands they find like this weird niche
and it was like, I was kind of fascinated by it.
(35:46):
But that's but they're obviously doing something different. They're doing Kiss,
but they're putting their own spin, their own twist on it.
Speaker 9 (35:53):
I mean, have you.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Guys worked with anybody who does that, because there's a
risk in doing that, right, because that can blow up
in your face, Like, like, do any of the bands
that you guys have worked with do anything like that?
Speaker 7 (36:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (36:05):
No, no, would you.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
If you came across someone who did do something like that,
would you give them a chance or would that be too.
Speaker 9 (36:12):
We're always wanting to give you a chance. You just
gonna show us what you got. Yeah, We'll find a
stage for you. It's just you got to have it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
We being promoters, we can't be left with the bag,
I mean right, you know. So one of the reasons
that we've been able to get so far is because
we've been able to work with some bands who nobody
else at touch Yeah, and we go in a semi
partnership with the moan, we say, look, this is it.
(36:40):
We'll split whatever happens to play for the door.
Speaker 9 (36:43):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
And some of the venues can't fill. We had the
Jewel over here, we had two hundred in there one night.
Speaker 9 (36:52):
Pet White Athlete, White Snake and looks at Kill. Yeah,
it looks at Kill, Motley Crue. Yeah. Yeah. We had
a good time over there that.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
We did well.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
Tonight's shows got a lot of tickets sold to it. Good. Yeah,
you're gonna be a great show tonight if you can
get out at the Jewel in Manchester, New Hampshire. Yeah,
we're going to be having Metallica and a Metallica tribute
yea and a guard Smack tribute called head Smack. Okay
and on on point like that's great. I can't. Yeah,
(37:24):
it's it's nice, it's good, it's loud, it's it's real solid.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Is it is it just the two bands or is
there is there an opener who's not not really advertised
or is it just yeah yo?
Speaker 9 (37:35):
Yeah. Do you guys do a lot of shows a
Jewel or.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
At one time we're gonna do fifty, but we just
have to back away and two other shows other places. Yeah,
I mean, we couldn't put all eggs in one basket, right.
Speaker 9 (37:48):
I would say we're probably at the Jewel like twice

Mike's great. He puts on the whole act. It's so
theatrical up on the stage because he's acting out like

very just like Alice Cooper does. Yeah, very good with that.
