This is the Desipable

1:21

Bicast with Chris Zak

1:24

and Aaron Camaro.

1:28

All right, here we are. It is

1:30

time for the Decibel Geek Times. The things you want The

1:32

things you want to remember, the

1:34

people you never want to forget. We're

1:36

going to cover it all for

1:39

you right here today. and even a

1:41

quick, optimistic look to the future the

1:43

new albums on the horizon. My My

1:45

name is Aaron Camaro, as always by

1:47

my good friend my good friend How are

1:49

you feeling? how you feeling? Good let's do this.

1:51

this. All right, so you know how

1:53

we do this. We start off with

1:55

death days. These are the people These are the

1:57

people you want to remember, the anniversaries are

1:59

past. upon us right now. And

2:02

in this edition of the Times,

2:04

we're gonna be covering the first

2:06

half of December. So here we

2:08

go. The first one? Oh man,

2:10

this sucks. It's a new addition

2:13

to the list. And you know,

2:15

there's nothing I hate more than

2:17

adding people to the rock star

2:19

Death Day's roll call here. But

2:22

I gotta take a minute because

2:24

this one really hurts former guest

2:26

to the show. Tom Higgins. People

2:28

probably best know him as the

2:31

mastermind behind Classic 78 recently passed

2:33

away. So you won't hear us

2:35

crying for more Classic 78 albums

2:37

anymore because there will be none.

2:40

Yeah, I would send a message to

2:42

Joe McGinnis who was in that band

2:44

with Tom and is now in quarantine

2:46

with Jericho. But no, man, this one,

2:48

really, this was like a gut punch

2:51

because I didn't know Tom was going,

2:53

and I didn't get a chance to

2:55

get close with Tom, but we just,

2:57

I think we met him, it might

2:59

have been him and Joe, we met

3:01

at the Atlanticus Expo in 2018. It

3:03

was two of the guys from Classic

3:05

78, I'm pretty sure Tom was one

3:07

of them. and that's where we got

3:09

the CDs and but like you know

3:11

they they kind of took the kiss

3:13

world kiss fan world by storm because

3:15

it was so creative to have a

3:18

band that could record new material but

3:20

make it sound like it was you

3:22

know straight off rock and roll over

3:24

a love gun and they had a

3:26

serious knack for getting that sound instrumentally

3:28

But the thing that set them above

3:30

everyone else was they could really mimic

3:32

the voices pretty damn good. Where you

3:34

really thought you were hearing Gene Ace,

3:36

Peter or Paul at times. And we

3:38

had him on for a great live

3:40

stream for the Friday Night Live. And

3:42

we're looking at maybe doing something around

3:45

New Year's Eve for that. So stay

3:47

tuned. But now he was really genuine,

3:49

nice guy, big music fan, super cool

3:51

to talk to. this really took me

3:53

back when I heard the news. Yeah,

3:55

it really sucks. You know, rest in

3:57

peace, Tom. Yeah, it does really suck,

3:59

man. I love those classic 78 albums

4:01

so much. And another thing about those

4:03

was that you would listen to it.

4:05

You'd be like, man, I wish this

4:07

really was a kiss song, or I

4:09

could totally hear kiss doing this, or

4:11

man, that's a perfect ace freely song,

4:14

you know? And they were so good

4:16

at it. And they came at it

4:18

from a place of true fandom, where

4:20

they really, really did their best to

4:22

make it real. And it was so

4:24

good. It was like, um, it was

4:26

like audio fan fiction. Yeah. You know,

4:28

where it was like it very deep.

4:30

Like if you're a real fan, you

4:32

got it. Like, and not everyone loved

4:34

it. I have friends that didn't like

4:36

it. You know who I'm talking to.

4:38

But I just loved that they could

4:41

get that sound down. It was just

4:43

a cool, like, what if scenario. The

4:45

thing I hate that we never got

4:47

from them that I remember bugging Tom

4:49

about, and it was probably an issue

4:51

with rights, but I was like, there's

4:53

so many old, especially gene demos from

4:55

back in the day, that are unfinished

4:57

and kiss demos that are unfinished, like,

4:59

finish those up and record them professionally,

5:01

and record them professionally. And he's always

5:03

like, you don't want Gene's lawyers coming

5:05

after you, but, but, Right. One thing

5:07

I noticed, because I, I, you know,

5:10

obviously looked up his profile and started

5:12

reading through stuff because I hadn't really

5:14

caught up with him in a long

5:16

time. And I saw, because I was

5:18

watching the A&E biography about KISS recently.

5:20

And I remember on little mid-sections through

5:22

it, you'll hear music that sounds like

5:24

kiss, but it's not kiss. Like as

5:26

filler music, you know, in between segments

5:28

and stuff. Yeah. Or underneath the narration.

5:30

And I remember thinking that does sound

5:32

like classic 78 and then I'm going

5:34

through Tom's profile and like he mentions

5:37

that they had actually hired him to

5:39

do that. So on the A&E biography

5:41

like a lot of kiss fans may

5:43

not know that when you hear the

5:45

kiss like sounding songs in the underneath

5:47

you know the music bed. Tom that's

5:49

Tom in doing those those

5:51

Man, I'm gonna I'm gonna

5:53

listen to those

5:55

albums for the rest

5:57

of my life.

5:59

I of my life. I loved

6:01

I Yeah, me too. I love

6:04

that that that era

6:06

and the sound sound

6:08

that the so perfectly so

6:10

we all love we

6:12

all love And it it

6:14

sucks because I like

6:16

complaining that we

6:18

don't have enough of

6:20

it. enough of it. Yeah I

7:05

Oh Yeah,

7:52

rest in peace, Tom Higgins,

7:54

Higgins. gonna be missed going won't

7:56

be forgotten by Kiss fans

7:58

by kiss fans forever. All

8:00

right, then also passed away on

8:02

the 1st of December in in

8:05

the age of 34, Ray Gillen. Ray the

8:07

age of 34 vocalist. He was Gillen,

8:09

very famous vocalist. He was

8:11

in Black Sabbath for a

8:13

moment. singer was almost the

8:16

lead singer of Black and

8:18

Blue, probably best known for

8:20

his work with with Badlands, and ended

8:22

up catching the HIV HIV.

8:25

in the mid 80s or late early 90s

8:27

8:31

8:33

fought it off you know

8:38

sort of stuff of back in

8:42

that that sucks he was sucks he

8:45

was a hell of a

8:47

singer. Yeah, and although we've we've

8:49

8:51

about his lifestyle after you know after

8:53

he caught that disease but but not

8:55

9:13

better chance a staying together with Sykes

9:19

hell of a talent. they did they did cover in

9:21

9:28

10:02

10:05

10:09

that I know

10:12

that you're

10:14

leaving It's color and

10:16

right now young. Now

10:18

that my that

10:21

my heart now is bleeding

10:23

Don't know which way to

10:25

to tell. Run out! Run

10:48

out! Yeah, rest in peace,

10:51

peace, Ray Gillen. On the 2nd of of

10:53

December, in 1997, the at the

10:55

age of 37, in excess lead

10:57

vocalist Michael Michael He died of

10:59

a hanging, a but there's

11:01

a lot of controversy that

11:03

goes into that story. into main

11:05

thing I read the kind

11:07

of sums it all up

11:09

was that he had a

11:11

really bad head injury in

11:13

1992 injury in they say he

11:15

was never the same after

11:18

that. Like two different people, the

11:20

day before, the day normal,

11:22

the day after, day

11:25

completely insane. Wow, I didn't

11:27

didn't hear about that.

11:29

that. so they figure

11:31

that that bad bad I

11:33

think if I remember,

11:35

if I remember he motorcycle or

11:37

a bike or something.

11:40

Yeah, in excess fans would be fans

11:42

would be able to

11:44

tell us exactly what

11:46

it was, but but

11:48

they say that that

11:50

really contributed to his

11:52

downfall because after 1992,

11:54

he wasn't the same

11:56

guy. He he last till 97,

11:59

but then they found

12:01

him with what, the

12:03

old story with the

12:05

towel around your neck neck

12:07

hung a a or something.

12:09

or something. They called auto erotit auto erotit.

12:11

I guess if you wrap it around your

12:13

neck and you hang too hard or too

12:15

long and you cut off by choking himself.

12:18

That's kind of like Heade from ex-Japan. And

12:20

a lot of people say that's something people

12:22

do when they've got neck and spine issues

12:24

where they do that to straighten out their

12:26

spine. But I mean, I guess if you

12:28

wrap it around your neck and you hang

12:30

too hard or too long and you cut

12:32

off the blood flow, I mean you could

12:34

possibly accidentally kill yourself. But in this instance,

12:37

there's too much drama in his life at

12:39

this time to say anything otherwise than he

12:41

was messed up in the head and he

12:43

killed himself. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not

12:45

an in excess die hard. I have a

12:47

handful of songs I like, you know, the

12:49

singles and stuff, but I have watched like

12:51

some live footage of them from back. And

12:53

this is one of those bands where it's

12:56

the benefit of hindsight, because when you're growing

12:58

up in the 80s and it's all about

13:00

metal, it's got to be a metal band,

13:02

a rock, hard rock band. Like we can't

13:04

like anything else. But in hindsight, when you

13:06

get older, you're like, okay, I'll open up

13:08

and I'll check out some of this stuff

13:10

that I kind... I liked a handful of

13:12

their songs back then, but I watched some

13:15

live footage there. That dude had charisma out

13:17

the ass, man. He was a hell of

13:19

a front man. So I have to give

13:21

credit where it's due. You always kind of

13:23

reminded me of like the Jim Morrison of

13:25

the 90s. Yes, very much so. Yeah, almost

13:27

reincarnated. It was kind of weird. And I've

13:29

actually over the years of collecting CDs I

13:31

would from time to time find in excess

13:34

CDs for you know very inexpensive and pick

13:36

them up so maybe someday we do the

13:38

best and worst of in excess. Oh God.

13:41

No, we're going to have to get to the

13:44

bottom of the barrel before we do that. I'm

13:46

sorry, I like in excess, but that's not our

13:48

audience. No, definitely not. Unless you guys want to

13:50

overwhelmingly comment and say, give us the best and

13:52

worst of in excess, then I'll consider it. Is

13:54

there a heavier side of in excess? I got

13:56

to imagine there must be. there's tons

13:58

of stuff I to that

14:00

is not right for our

14:03

show. No No. But I would gladly

14:05

about but I know know,

14:07

don't there's no heavier side of an none

14:09

of it's heavy No, I guess not. There's guess there's

14:11

good songs, but none of them are heavy

14:28

Look in a tie. Future uncertain,

14:30

but certainly slight. Look at the

14:32

faces, listen to the at

14:34

It's and listen

14:36

to the bells

14:38

It's hard to

14:41

believe we need

14:43

a place called hell.

14:47

Place called hell The

14:51

inside, the devil

14:53

inside the single one

14:55

of us, the devil

14:57

inside one of us, the devil

14:59

devil inside inside, one

15:02

of us, the

15:04

devil inside devil inside. All

15:35

right then on the third

15:37

of December back in

15:39

2015 2015 the age of

15:42

48 classic tale of the

15:44

overdose on the tour

15:46

bus it's Stone Temple Pilots Scott Wyland

15:48

Yeah man super talented guy clearly in

15:51

guy had a lot of in

15:53

his life had a

15:55

lot of troubles did

15:57

a lot of drugs him

16:00

they found him dead

16:02

the cops found samplings

16:04

of kinds of different medications. His is one

16:07

of the saddest stories in Rock to me,

16:09

because there's so much untapped potential. That guy

16:11

had, I think. I think

16:13

he could be up there, you know,

16:16

he, you know, they were chasing Pearl

16:18

Jam, they were chasing Nirvana, Stone Double

16:20

Pilots, but then, and they, to me,

16:22

I mean, I like their music better

16:25

than a lot of those bands, but

16:27

those bands obviously got bigger. I think

16:29

he had the potential to get up

16:31

there had he, you know, behaved himself

16:34

in a little bit, but, and then

16:36

Velvet Revolver was the second chance and

16:38

he blew that too. Right, yeah. It

16:41

just, and they know he blew his

16:43

marriage, it's the, it's the, it's the

16:46

utter worst of addiction, his whole story.

16:48

And I had some, a girl I

16:50

went to high school with, met him,

16:52

I think it was three days before

16:54

he died, and she's like, it wasn't

16:56

a surprise when I heard the news.

16:58

He was a mess. That last tour,

17:00

if you saw him on that last

17:03

tour, it was, it was rough. And

17:05

you think about that, like today, you know, 2024 going

17:08

into 2025, if he was still alive and they announced

17:10

a Stone Temple Pilots reunion, that would be massive right

17:12

now. That would be a big old stadium tour. Well,

17:14

they'd at least be doing the Danny Wamer festivals and

17:16

headlining them. Yeah, they were, their legend is only grown

17:18

and their music I think appreciates more over the years

17:20

compared to some of their contemporaries. So, I, you know,

17:22

Stone, Stone, Stone, Stone Temple Pilots are one of the,

17:25

one of the more, one of the better quality bands

17:27

from that era. And at the time, I don't think

17:29

anybody viewed them that way. Because I, I remember a

17:31

lot of people viewing them, oh, they just want to

17:33

be Pearl Jim, they just want to be Alice and

17:35

Chains. Yeah, but they were different man. That's and that's

17:37

the one thing about that. That's that's one thing about

17:39

that too in that era of grunge was yeah, you

17:42

had all these bands, bands but each

17:44

one of was unique in

17:46

their own way. And maybe and

17:48

maybe did have some of

17:50

the same similarities same similarities Eddie as

17:52

a little bit, but but Stone

17:54

Temple and Pearl Jam were completely

17:56

different bands. No, I I agree.

17:59

I'm just saying that the

18:01

consensus at the time was that

18:03

that they were imitators. I

18:05

remember remember being talked about

18:07

by a lot of Even Even

18:09

wrote about it. about it. Are they Allison

18:11

Chains I always heard it. I

18:13

always heard it. I was the talk

18:16

was he was the talk was he

18:18

he tried to do clone, like

18:20

vocal, especially on Lane Staley type vocal,

18:22

album. But I love that

18:24

album. But the thing is

18:26

that was the talk early

18:28

on. talk early They grew out

18:31

of it, though, because then

18:33

you had you had then you

18:35

had tiny music. And, you

18:37

know, those know those those albums

18:39

different differentiated them from their

18:41

contemporaries. So they they kind of of

18:43

but they went in a

18:45

more artsy direction. direction didn't

18:48

go for the easy path

18:50

of the easy path of hits. They hits

18:52

they they definitely did their own

18:54

thing. own thing they were I i

18:56

that's the the delillo know, I

18:58

think that's the two the two

19:00

the the the bass player. the

19:02

They they a lot of the

19:05

material, so had their own had

19:07

their own stamp on music,

19:09

which Stone Temple Pilot newer with the new guy,

19:11

but, and I with the new

19:13

guy. show album even, I it the

19:15

talk show album even, but

19:17

it didn't have a chance

19:19

without the he was the charisma

19:22

of the band. Right, yeah,

19:24

they probably shouldn't to try

19:26

to call Temple Pilots with but him.

19:28

him. You're

19:49

not sexual, so far

19:51

from home. I

20:01

could feel it when I

20:03

stood there Roll

20:06

over rain, keep it through

20:09

the night Rain, rain, keep

20:11

it through the night Rain

20:13

in my sight, keep it

20:15

through the night I'll smash

20:17

right through your spotlight What

20:26

you give

20:29

We you you to take

20:33

you please, what

20:36

you break I

20:42

blame

20:45

for you,

20:47

I

20:50

blame you

20:55

I take I

20:59

take All

21:33

right then we go back

21:35

to the fourth way back

21:38

in 1976 oh man it's

21:40

another cautionary tale about drugs

21:42

at the age of 25

21:44

so young Tommy Bolin man

21:47

he was in the band

21:49

Zephyr in the James gang

21:51

and of course best known

21:53

for his work with deep

21:56

purple replacing Richie Blackmore who

21:58

could replace Blackmore in deep

22:00

purple well Tommy Bolin did

22:02

it but man he did

22:05

a lot of drugs cocaine,

22:07

alcohol, all mixed together, died

22:09

hours after his last show

22:11

opening for Peter Frampton and

22:14

Jeff Beck. Wow. Too much,

22:16

too young. He was a

22:18

wild man, but he didn't

22:20

get past 25. Man, what

22:23

a great player. Yeah, too

22:25

much, too young is the

22:27

perfect way of putting it.

22:29

Yeah, burned out real fast,

22:32

but yeah, he was on

22:34

a hot streak right before

22:36

it happened. Ain't no telling

22:38

what that guy could have

22:41

done in the 80s. He

22:43

would have been considered to

22:45

be a guitar hero. I

22:47

feel like because he died

22:50

so young and he didn't

22:52

really have a chance to

22:54

really become a superstar, I

22:56

think over time he definitely

22:59

would have been. He would

23:01

have been one of those

23:03

guys from the 70s that

23:05

joined a band in the

23:08

80s or created a band

23:10

in the 80s that probably

23:12

would have been huge. He

23:14

would have been a perfect

23:17

fit for that era. Very

23:19

talented guy. that

23:21

had no sense of

23:23

running. And if you

23:25

ask what she'd need,

23:27

then she don't got

23:29

no time. She's a

23:31

teaser, and she's got

23:33

her heart on it

23:35

out. She's a teaser,

23:38

and she's got her

23:40

heart on it out.

23:42

She's a teaser, and

23:44

she'll tell me just

23:46

a little about. Yes,

23:50

you tell you to

23:52

hear you fall away.

24:55

And also on the but but many years

24:57

later, at the age of 52 in

24:59

1993, I gotta mention him a couple of to mention

25:01

the couple of times in the

25:03

last couple of weeks, he just

25:05

kind of pops up, but here

25:07

he is again, here Frank again, Frank Zappa.

25:09

people love him, some people, like

25:12

me, just don't get it. get it.

25:14

too. But you gotta and respect

25:16

the guy the all he did in

25:18

he and roll, rock and roll. And he

25:20

had prostate cancer real bad, but

25:22

he really he it out. Well, he

25:24

was sick for a long time,

25:26

but he But much literally was

25:28

out playing live playing live he literally

25:30

couldn't do it it anymore. But he But

25:32

he loved music he he loved performing

25:34

and he gave it everything he

25:36

had had he just didn't have any

25:38

more to give. more to he passed

25:40

away at the age of at the

25:42

in 52 back in 93. Here's

26:12

a guy you don't really talk

26:14

about too much too we're talking

26:16

about talking music but you gotta

26:18

think he was kind of

26:20

a but to all the stuff

26:22

we kind his style to all this back

26:24

in 1988 at the age

26:26

of But back in lost the age of 52, we

26:28

lost Roy a heart attack. a heart attack.

26:31

What do you think? Where's Roy

26:33

Orbison's place in influencing the

26:35

kind of music we love? love? It's

26:38

influencing, I it's there. there, I I don't

26:40

know that it's a huge influence, I think

26:42

the Beatles and the British the have

26:44

kind of more to do with

26:46

that of more to do with know but you legend.

26:48

It's hard to, you know, It's so

26:51

much older when he so much older when he died.

26:53

That seems not seem does not seem he looked

26:55

older. He looked like he was

26:57

in looked like or 70s like 60s or 70s, but you

26:59

know, know legendary, legendary career of course.

27:01

Yeah that's true because you think about

27:03

at that time like the time like the

27:06

and stuff and it was like

27:08

when you got Tom it was you got

27:10

all these other guys and they're

27:12

all and you got all these other and really seemed

27:14

like Roy Orbison was the like Roy of

27:16

them all. old Well he was. He

27:19

was he was and the group. definitely thing

27:21

is we all looked at them as

27:23

the old guys is we all the at them

27:25

as the they were then in them were 80s

27:27

but they were like most of them were in their like late 30s.

27:29

Right. You know like they

27:31

were 10 years younger than you

27:33

and I now. Right. And we looked

27:35

at them Right. And old at them know we're

27:37

to meet his son a few

27:40

years ago. He's a he's a rock

27:42

and roll guy. a Yeah, that's He's a,

27:44

he's I met him at a show.

27:46

roll And you got to think about

27:48

cool. When I at a guy like

27:50

Roy a show. know he's got the glasses.

27:52

He's got a leather jacket. He

27:54

always wears black you know plays a guy

27:56

got that guitar in front of

27:58

him. know, You know he was just

28:00

a especially for his got a leather a

28:02

cool looking dude. wears black, you know. fought the high voice

28:04

he you voice unique you know that was

28:06

that definitely definitely had his own stamp

28:08

with a vocal him so like yeah nobody nobody

28:10

nobody sounded like Roy Orbison All

28:30

right, then that brings us

28:32

up to December us up to

28:34

which is absolutely one

28:36

of these saddest days in

28:38

rock and roll history

28:40

many years apart and roll history,

28:42

caused by murder both caused by murder.

28:44

of the biggest stars

28:46

in rock and roll history

28:48

in rock in 1980 at

28:50

the age of in murdered 40,

28:52

murdered, it's John Lennon. the

28:56

kind of thing like our like stuff

28:58

we'll always remember will know where they

29:01

were you know where they were or it made

29:03

them feel to find out that John out that

29:05

John Lennon from the Beatles had been

29:07

murdered mom's talked about crying talked about crying my

29:09

dad the news it because he was my dad

29:11

recollecting it because he was watching heard

29:13

29:16

like just like the of the nation. right

29:18

and he he he said he just

29:20

everything just felt kind of felt kind of

29:22

felt felt like the world stopped when

29:24

it was announced like Like kind of

29:26

just kind of froze. And yeah, because my because my

29:28

parents are both both Beatles fans you

29:31

29:33

that I was to you I mean

29:35

29:37

half two, I mean, that was what, three and a I

29:39

29:43

to New York last year go to

29:46

Central Park see the Central Park, see the

29:48

know thing in the, you know, in the and then could

29:50

over to the Dakota and be

29:52

there where it it happened. That was a was

29:54

that was a heavy heavy stuff still

29:56

know you feel just feel a weird

29:58

vibe when you're there I'm

30:02

30:06

tight -lipped condors and in

30:08

of soap Let's

30:40

want it for dough Want

30:44

30:46

we were too young to know

30:48

what it felt like it Lennon

30:51

was murdered John many years later in

30:53

2004 many years get to understand the

30:55

feeling to one of

30:57

our own was murdered

30:59

of our own I'm talking

31:01

about and I'm talking about 8th bagged

31:04

Daryl killed by obsessed

31:06

fans killed by obsessed fans yeah weird

31:08

weird I

31:10

know that probably wasn't

31:12

part of the plan

31:14

in 2004 but that's

31:16

the way it worked

31:18

out the way it worked out. That's

31:20

remember hearing about that hearing

31:22

about being blown away

31:25

I remember being in

31:27

my kitchen remember being my it

31:29

was the radio or

31:31

maybe on TV or maybe

31:33

on TV guess you know

31:35

internet was kind of

31:37

it was a thing

31:39

then of it was a it

31:41

was on so maybe was on

31:43

there. But CNN's website was how I

31:45

how I learned Yeah, I

31:47

don't remember how exactly

31:49

I heard it I

31:51

do remember how it

31:53

made me feel like

31:56

I'd been kicked in

31:58

the balls punched in

32:00

the gut the balls punched in the

32:02

couldn't believe it You

32:04

know believe it. and Dimebag

32:06

and Dimebagderal so important You

32:08

know you to me to

32:10

me. I love Dimebag Darrell

32:12

so much and the the

32:14

main reason of just what a just

32:16

a killer player was that in a

32:18

time where people that were my age didn't

32:20

really have a whole lot of love and

32:22

respect for kiss or ace fraily, Dimebag Darryl

32:24

came around and gave him the love and

32:26

respect that he deserves and did it publicly

32:29

to where Pantera fans who would maybe look

32:31

down on you if you really loved kiss.

32:33

would have to then say well you know

32:35

they were cool with dime bag they were

32:37

panthera and dime bag were one of the

32:39

first bands that in that turnaround that made

32:41

kiss cool again you know when these guys

32:43

love and respect them and you love and

32:45

respect panthera that should tell you a little

32:47

something about ace fraily too. Yeah

32:49

it was around that time that and

32:52

Pantera kind of led the charge with

32:54

the kiss love and then like people

32:56

followed suit after that because it was

32:58

like well if diamond Vinny love them

33:00

then we should we can admit that

33:03

we love them too. Yeah. And that

33:05

it was almost like an avalanche of

33:07

kiss love. I remember that like 92-93-94

33:09

around that time there was like all

33:12

of a sudden it was cool to

33:14

like kiss again. It was like it

33:16

was allowed amongst bands like the grunge

33:18

bands and some of the punk bands

33:21

even like Rancid was talking about how

33:23

much they love kiss and so like

33:25

all that led to the reunion of

33:27

course because they would rave about you

33:29

know the 70's era of the band

33:32

they weren't raving about you know crazy

33:34

nights I'm no I was but nobody

33:36

else was But yeah, no, I remember

33:38

seeing it on CNN.com and you know,

33:41

I can still picture the weather, the

33:43

room I was in. You know, I

33:45

remember pacing the floor of my living

33:47

room that morning. Because it was, I

33:50

woke up the morning after it happened

33:52

and found out. And just kept pacing.

33:54

Like, and I just couldn't believe it.

33:56

It was just like, there's no way

33:58

he's dead I can't believe this and

34:01

it took it took like a whole

34:03

day for me to let that sink

34:05

in you know I just because I

34:07

probably like you you know with holding

34:10

out hope that Pantera would figure it

34:12

out and get back together again you

34:14

know so like that was like something

34:16

I had on my in my head

34:19

was like oh they'll work it out

34:21

and get back together and then that

34:23

with that whole finality of well Pantera's

34:25

dead you know they're doing their thing

34:28

and I still supported it I think

34:30

people deserve to hear to hear those

34:32

songs to hear those songs live And

34:34

it's good to know that because of

34:36

that you know that it would have

34:39

happened eventually. Yeah. Oh yeah, absolutely. Dime

34:41

was all about bringing people together. He

34:43

would have made it work. He would

34:45

have gotten over. He would have talked

34:48

Vinny into it. He would have let

34:50

fences be mended with Phil. I think

34:52

for sure they would have gotten back

34:54

together. Yeah, without a doubt, I believe

34:57

that. And I always remember, just one

34:59

of the greatest things I ever seen

35:01

in my life was the addition of

35:03

the, I think it was guitar player,

35:05

maybe it was guitar world. that had

35:08

Ace Freilly along with Snake Sabo and

35:10

Dimebag Darryl on the cover where Snake

35:12

and Dimebager wearing Ace Freilly makeup. Yeah.

35:14

And it's like finally, finally, finally after

35:17

all this time Ace Freily is getting

35:19

the love he deserves and it's all

35:21

because of Dimebag Darryl. Indication.

35:24

Totally. I remember that article, yeah, because

35:26

they were talking raven with Ace about

35:28

how, you know, nerding out on their

35:30

favorite solos and stuff and Ace just

35:32

being like, settle down, guys. I was

35:35

never more happy to buy a magazine

35:37

in my life. Yeah, that was a

35:39

great issue. I remember that. And then,

35:41

like, I think within the next year,

35:43

there was another one with Ace from

35:45

the Alive Tour on the cover. And

35:47

it was like, Kiss, reunion time. And

35:50

I was like, oh, here we go,

35:52

now it's happening. Yeah. Yeah. Man,

35:55

time-based, Harold will definitely never, ever be forgotten. long

35:57

as as out there as

35:59

long as there's guys like

36:02

us talking about it like us

36:04

of the greatest guitar players

36:06

ever ever to play it ever,

36:08

ever to love You gotta long as

36:10

there are long as being served

36:13

up grins being there'll always be

36:15

back there will always be around. Amen. And

37:30

then we go back to

37:32

1984 9th, at the age of 24, man, just a

37:34

the age of 24 man

37:36

just a kid Molly Crew, know

37:39

a partying with Molly to make a

37:41

a good time liquor to

37:43

make a run to the

37:45

liquor store with Vince in the

37:47

car with go, it'll be go it'll

37:49

be fun fun it wasn't

37:52

fun for drummer of drummer of Do

37:54

you want to hear you want to

37:56

hear the weirdest segue ever You

37:58

know what kind of you know what

38:00

kind of car they were

38:02

driving Oh yeah, it was yeah it

38:05

was a Pantera wasn't it

38:07

it. Twilight Zone music I saw one of those cars

38:09

once and I wanted it so bad but at the

38:11

time I just didn't have the money for it but

38:13

it was such a cool-looking car yeah I don't know

38:15

they must not have been that reliable I don't know

38:18

they they kind of fizzled quickly but they were cool-looking

38:20

that sucks though he was a young dude had his

38:22

whole life ahead of them and that's right there you

38:24

know you talk about bad decisions drinking and driving and

38:26

driving man that's never a good one I

38:29

wonder what the future would have held

38:31

for Hanaway Rocks had he lived. I

38:33

don't know. I don't know if he

38:36

had that much of an impact on

38:38

the music. No, but they broke up

38:40

after he died. Right. He had an

38:42

impact on them being a band. Yeah,

38:44

that's for sure. That is true. And

38:47

they had the image, you know, people

38:49

don't think about Hanoy Rock, especially here

38:51

in the States, because they're not really,

38:53

they're definitely not a household name, and

38:55

they weren't even back then. But if

38:58

you talk to guys from Poison or

39:00

Motley Crew or any of the bands

39:02

of that time, they would all sing

39:04

the praises of Hanoy Rock's, you know,

39:06

you'd see Axle Rose wearing Hanoy Rock's

39:09

t-shirts, and be like, who is that

39:11

even? And then you've realized

39:13

later on that yeah they all they all

39:15

ripped off Hanoy Rocks and they were all

39:17

getting those import albums sent to Los Angeles

39:19

from Finland or wherever they're from and you

39:21

know it's it's it's a it's kind of

39:23

crazy to look back on it now and

39:25

be like these guys were such a huge

39:27

influence on this whole thing that got so

39:29

big but they never got any of the

39:31

credit for it except from the bands themselves.

39:33

Yeah, although I have to say I mentioned

39:36

it before, I'm still partially impartial to Michael

39:38

Monroe's solo stuff than I am to the

39:40

Hanoi rock stuff. Yeah, me too, because it's

39:42

more straight up rock. I mean, some of

39:44

that Hanoi rock stuff is kind of weird

39:46

and not heavy enough. Little too bowie for

39:48

me. You don't head bang to oriental be.

39:50

no, but the look in the style. Oh,

39:52

they the look in

39:54

the style. Poison looked amazing.

39:56

I mean, those where poison

39:58

came from I mean

40:00

those guys saw those saw

40:02

the picture of the band. It and

40:04

cool the there. the band

40:06

and was like need to

40:09

cool right there. They

40:11

They need to listen

40:13

to the music They

40:15

just wanted to look

40:17

cool like those guys

40:19

Well, that's kind of

40:21

the of was was New York

40:23

Hanoi Hanoy Rock's poison and

40:25

all those those bands. It was all

40:27

borrowed. And I guess you

40:29

could even go back to the to

40:31

of the late of the They kind of

40:33

started that Keith Richards was kind

40:35

of looking like that early on of looking

40:37

like that and then like I say Right

40:40

and then doing the glam thing doing you

40:42

know bands like know bands like Sweet you in

40:44

that too in you know just one of those

40:46

of those bands that like I

40:48

said, you know never got the credit

40:50

for it except from the musicians

40:52

themselves I didn't know nothing. I knew

40:54

about Michael Monroe before I even

40:56

knew about Hanoi rocks because Rocks because I guess

40:58

just didn't follow the Vince Neal or didn't

41:00

know too much about it at

41:02

the time at the I remember the song

41:04

the song Dead Jail or and roll and that

41:06

was Michael first single single. John our old

41:09

friend from from Freily's on that album on

41:11

that album and uh... that was the first

41:13

time I seen it. I was like,

41:15

oh, I really it. I this And

41:17

I went out and bought that Michael

41:19

Monroe album based on that song Michael

41:21

Monroe for me on that song. Same, same for me.

41:23

I I heard of of purely because of

41:25

like the because of like the t-shirt ads and metal magazines.

41:27

Like I'd see the name Hanoi Rocks on

41:29

posters and stuff stuff. And I always thought I was

41:31

thought I was like that's such a

41:33

cool name like I like I didn't

41:35

know the It took took years before I

41:38

got into them. Yeah, pretty wild how that

41:40

works works sometimes. Now, more revered than they

41:42

ever were when they were a thing

41:44

ever were when they were a thing. Oh

42:04

I'll be your

42:06

darling angel,

42:09

I'll never let

42:11

you down I'll

42:14

be your

42:16

total stranger, but

42:18

I'll get you in

42:20

the long run better

42:23

come right in, you

42:26

better come right in

42:28

I'll come and be

42:30

free when no one's

42:32

42:34

42:36

42:47

month. one's you right

42:49

in I'll come and be no

42:51

ever been Come right in

42:53

no been been

43:08

All in, there you in been have it. Those

43:10

are the rock star in death days in to

43:12

be get one's us been through half of

43:14

of December. are the people you gotta

43:16

remember, got to remember, Scott Ray Gillen, Scott Weiland, Tommy

43:18

but of course of Lennon and and

43:20

Diane Bagg-Deryl and Razzle. So those are the people

43:22

we lost around this time of

43:25

year. We definitely want to remember

43:27

those folks. remember So So get

43:29

into some album anniversaries.

43:31

And what I've discovered

43:33

is is is a

43:36

really shitty month for

43:38

album releases. releases. Historically

43:40

it seems like. like spring and fall are like, it

43:42

seems like spring and fall are the

43:44

hot spots and every other the rest

43:46

of the year is kind of mixed.

43:49

I never really understood

43:51

that though. You would

43:53

think it'd be a

43:55

good idea to come

43:57

out with an album

43:59

in the first half

44:01

of December, so that so

44:03

back then then all the

44:05

kids would say, oh

44:07

I need the album from this band

44:09

for Christmas. You know, that's what I want

44:11

for Christmas. But it's just not a thing.

44:14

I don't know if it's a record company

44:16

thing or they just assume that albums aren't

44:18

going to sell around Christmas time or what

44:20

the deal is. That's probably likely what it

44:22

is. pretty sparse pretty sparse here so as

44:24

a matter of fact for our album anniversaries

44:26

for this first one we got to go

44:28

all the way back 40 years because wow

44:30

there just really isn't nothing in the big

44:32

big years up to there so we go

44:34

all the way back to 40 and this

44:36

one's even a stretch to 1984 the fifth

44:38

full-length studio album from foreigner it's agent provocateur

44:41

This is the one man. This is

44:43

the one that made me think I

44:45

didn't like foreigner. Because when I was

44:47

a kid, because when I was a

44:50

kid, my introduction to foreigner was, I

44:52

want to know what love is. Was

44:54

their biggest album, I think? Yeah,

44:56

it's weird man. It's weird because like I

44:58

thought ancient provocateur, I don't know if I

45:01

even know this album. I know I have

45:03

it, I don't know nothing about it. And

45:05

then I got to looking at it and

45:07

I was like, oh yeah, there's this one

45:09

song I like on here. And then it's

45:11

like, oh no, this is the one with,

45:13

I want to know what love is. Otherwise

45:15

known as the theme song for Gene Seven

45:18

Sex Day. So

45:21

if this song ever comes on and you're in

45:23

the car with somebody, you just start off the

45:26

conversation with, I can ruin this song for you

45:28

really quickly. Do you want to know how? I'm

45:30

gonna take off all my clothes except for my

45:32

t-shirt and my socks. Well, you just tell them

45:34

what is the theme song to. And I mentioned

45:36

that to my wife recently. She's like, yeah, that

45:38

pretty well ruins it for me. Oh, she didn't

45:41

say, lose the pants, keep the socks. No. I

45:43

have to take my socks off. I don't keep

45:45

my socks. I don't take my shirt off, too.

45:47

Which just tells just tells you

45:49

he knew he was

45:51

being filmed, which is why

45:54

he kept a shirt on

45:56

That's weird like, did like did

45:58

he set that up

46:00

himself? That's kind of creepy.

46:02

But anyway, this isn't

46:04

torpedo dude dude. I need a

46:07

sex tape everybody else

46:09

got sex tapes Gene Simmons

46:11

should have a sex

46:13

tape tape. That's pretty sad if

46:15

that's what it was it

46:17

was. Yeah, this

46:19

album is not great and then

46:22

like years later I would go

46:24

back to early for her stuff

46:26

and be like be like, is really

46:28

good is really good. a song a here

46:30

called here called action to That sounds sounds,

46:32

sounds like they're classic stuff, but

46:34

the rest of the album the not

46:36

not. success for for Foreigner, this goes

46:38

to number to in the United States

46:40

back in States back in 1984. But

46:57

the way that you play,

46:59

well, any man's affection, oh,

47:02

you should never be around.

47:04

See, I consider myself the

47:06

one who has shown you.

47:09

I'd go as far as

47:11

the same. Girl, I ain't

47:13

leaving here without you, but

47:16

you better understand. There's only

47:18

one rule in this game.

47:20

We're going to play in

47:23

that reaction. It's

47:43

getting made, I've been

47:46

amazed, I've definitely moved.

47:48

Reactions of action! Look

47:50

at the bad baby,

47:52

it's up to you.

47:57

I need

48:14

It's got a few good few good songs wrong.

48:16

to know what love is, not

48:18

one of one of them. No, no. Made him a lot

48:20

of them a lot of money, lost

48:22

lost them a lot of fans But gained

48:24

him a whole bunch of new them a whole

48:27

new bunch of new ones. reason to us

48:29

I guess. Live, I guess, lot for her. Which

48:31

actually was the song that got me song that got

48:33

me into the band, ironically, it

48:35

have been funnier if have been funnier if that

48:37

would have been the song for Gene

48:39

Simmons' Sex sex tape? A Reason

48:42

to Live live with Paul's name is creepy.

48:44

Although Gene did and Sharon, we all know the

48:46

Gene did it share and

48:48

we all know the similarities

48:50

with Paul, so that's creepy

48:52

enough on its own. its own. Okay,

48:55

on. on. Oh, I could get weird if you

48:57

could get weird if you

48:59

go back 45 let's go back

49:01

45 years sparse, yes they are. We're Things

49:03

are talk about are. We're going

49:05

to talk about their third their

49:08

studio album London Calling. I

49:10

don't know, know, we talked about, you

49:12

know, the punk rock that we like,

49:14

neither one of us mentions the Clash,

49:16

but a lot of people would consider

49:18

them icons of punk rock music. rock music.

49:20

got them. To me, I

49:23

always kind of look back in the

49:25

back think that and saw what the Ramones

49:27

doing, they saw what the doing, they were

49:29

doing, and they said, we should

49:31

do that and they especially the Ramones. too. Well,

49:33

mean, listen to the first Clash record,

49:35

I it's a complete to the of the

49:37

Ramones. Yeah. a complete and then they the

49:39

their sound, and I get that, and

49:41

they got big on that, the new

49:43

sound. I get that, but they got

49:46

a foothold because of the got just

49:48

another case of the Ramones not getting

49:50

the credit they deserve. a foothold not

49:52

going to get on a soapbox right

49:54

now. Well, this is definitely the one

49:56

where they start changing their sound up.

49:58

get their sound up. You get on here. You

50:00

get here. You get poppy sounding songs. even a couple

50:02

of of too. I don't mind it. I

50:04

I don't think it's terrible. it. I

50:06

I do like some of the songs

50:09

off of it. Pretty popular for the

50:11

time. songs off of it. in the U .S.

50:13

back in for the time. Goes number 27 in US also

50:15

music to listen to when you're drinking

50:17

to out of a whiskey bottle. drinking

50:20

tea of a whiskey bottle.

50:22

Oh yeah. That

50:24

was the whole Van Halen feud,

50:26

right? feud, only one only one band that

50:28

drinks tea out of whiskey bottles and

50:30

that band is The is the clash,

50:32

I I should just just put the in, but

50:34

yeah, in. Lee Roth called them out Lee Roth

50:37

called them out US at the And

50:39

then they put then they put a

50:41

big picture of the they that they

50:43

check check that they took after

50:45

they complained about, about, like, know, corporate

50:47

greed greed and shit. Van Halen was was like,

50:49

well, what about this check you

50:51

just cashed? That's so awesome. awesome. And

50:54

you awesome. you know that was all

50:56

Dave. you know that was all Dave. Oh yeah, that

50:58

other guys guy's probably didn't care about

51:00

that. But I mean, that is mean that

51:02

brilliant. Oh, it is. is. To go

51:04

and be phony like that bitch about about

51:06

corporate rock and bloated bands and shit

51:08

like that. then And then Dave gets

51:10

a hold of the and puts it

51:12

up on the big screen for

51:14

the world to see. see. Brilliant. That's where That's

51:16

where it's good to have David

51:18

Lee Roth on your side your side, because

51:20

a lot of fucking in a lot of fucking draw.

51:32

You see, he feels like

51:35

Ivan, born under the Brixton

51:37

Sun. His game is called

51:39

Surviving. At the end of

51:41

the holiday it you know it

51:43

means no mercy. They

51:45

caught him with a gun, no

51:48

need for the blood, Mariah. Goodbye

51:50

to the Brixton Sun. You

51:52

can't crush us, you can't

51:54

bruise us. But you'll have

51:57

to answer soon. I

52:26

love how how to the clash turns turns into

52:28

David Lee Roth awesome. I'm not going to

52:30

talk about the the don't don't their music.

52:33

All right, so then let's jump back

52:35

50 years to 1974. actually we

52:37

actually of them them in The first

52:39

The first one is full -length studio

52:41

album from Beatles guitarist George

52:43

Harrison. The album's called Dark Horse

52:45

Dark Horse and it's kind of tough times

52:47

for George Harrison. This is

52:49

the first first US by a Beatles

52:51

member since 1966, so you

52:53

think this is going to be

52:55

a pretty big deal. big deal. But

52:57

this is around the time where

52:59

George Harrison spent a lot

53:01

of time around his Indian time around

53:03

his good friend, and good friend the Ravi

53:05

Ravi Shankar, Shankar, And so he

53:07

takes him out on tour out on

53:09

tour and really lets him do him do

53:11

a lot of stuff where people

53:13

probably are showing up to

53:15

hear George Harrison songs, hopefully maybe

53:17

maybe know, you guitar my but then

53:19

they get But then they can. and they get

53:21

whole other thing and it

53:23

is not, people do not like

53:25

it. know, it really was

53:27

bad for him at that time.

53:29

to the point where anything the

53:31

Beatles the Beatles former members in

53:33

the in the all went to number

53:35

one. Not this, this one

53:37

only gets to this in the

53:39

US. Still, number you know, for

53:41

a failure, that's pretty damn good.

53:43

that's pretty damn good yeah but uh times for

53:45

George Harrison right here. This

53:47

is right after his wife leaves

53:50

his wife leaves you know, and you know just

53:52

yeah weird times for him, weird

53:54

album album too I

54:02

thought that to move

54:05

it all along It's

54:08

a little bit hard

54:11

to get it being

54:13

if you

54:15

It seems as you

54:17

heard a limb fate.

54:19

Oh, we

54:21

both when we go,

54:23

we're sad to start

54:25

again. How we don't,

54:27

almost, almost, a little

54:30

and our phrase goes.

54:33

I'm a more blue

54:35

moon, Because

54:39

I said that the wound.

54:43

I live a

54:45

cool judge,

54:47

just looking for

54:50

his parts I'm

54:54

a dark

54:56

horse Also

55:04

in 1974, right around wow time, you

55:06

think, Wow, coming out with with his

55:08

fifth studio album well Joe Walsh is

55:10

coming out with his third solo

55:13

album And this is after being

55:15

in the James in for a

55:17

few years a few called the album's called so what

55:19

album cover with Joe Walsh with

55:21

the with the bomber glasses bomber glasses I

55:23

love it too man it too, a one of the

55:26

most of the most iconic rock

55:28

album covers out there it's it's just

55:30

him, looking silly, and I love

55:32

it it Big deal this

55:34

album, back in 1974, mainly of

55:36

song turned his stone great great song a great

55:38

hit the song, big hit lot on

55:40

Eagles helped him a lot on

55:42

this album, doing background vocals out

55:44

helping out wherever they could thing

55:46

whole thing sets the stage

55:48

for him actually joining the Eagles

55:50

in a couple of years years

55:52

but 1974, doing doing pretty good

55:55

for himself this album goes to 11

55:57

in the United States. You know for all

55:59

know, for all the great

56:01

stuff he brought to the Eagles,

56:03

I got to wonder what

56:05

his solo career would have been

56:07

had he kept that material

56:09

for himself. material for Yeah, kind of

56:11

wish he would would I mean,

56:13

he got got of overshadowed in

56:15

the Eagles. Yeah, he's great on

56:17

on his own wife my wife and

56:19

I had luckily got, thanks Al

56:21

Horta for the free free got to

56:23

see the Eagles in New Jersey last

56:26

year. last year. And Joe Walsh, definitely highlight of

56:28

the show. show. Best player on most fun most

56:30

fun he's the only He's the only in

56:32

in that band. my God, the rest of my

56:34

God, the rest of the band, it's

56:36

like going to a fucking PTA

56:38

meeting. then Joe Walsh gets how's it it

56:41

It's And it's like, he's he's the

56:43

ace of that band. Oh totally. Yeah, that's

56:45

what they said. need need somebody like

56:47

that, you know, that was was their guy.

56:49

was a perfect pick for it. the

56:51

the rest of them guys would

56:53

be so so all the time. Oh,

56:55

yeah. least least you need somebody fun

56:58

in the band to of balance things

57:00

out. out. And they still do his solo

57:02

material live too, too. So it's like good

57:04

good that they still let him

57:06

do that. But but. Man, I'm thinking of

57:08

how much great material we could

57:10

have gotten out of him, you know,

57:13

if had he stayed solo you know,

57:15

James. he the James gang had reformed

57:17

and kept going, you know. Yeah. and

57:19

Yeah. going, you know. solo stuff better than

57:21

his songs stuff better than his songs in the Eagles. The

57:23

Yeah, that's a great song. great song. Bad-ass.

57:25

got a lot of cool stuff. cool stuff.

57:27

But what great album right there? right there.

57:49

Why? Such a strange feeling

57:51

why don't know why

57:54

it's taking a

57:56

long time. I'm

58:00

back on people in

58:02

their work all day

58:04

Tired of the speeches

58:06

and the way that

58:09

the reasons keep changing

58:11

keep Just to make

58:13

the make the world's line. And know it's

58:15

getting stronger Can't

58:17

make them round

58:20

much longer to longer. And

58:30

know Can't

58:43

round longer

58:49

the stone So

58:53

we go back go years to

58:55

1969 and we got to talk about

58:58

the Rolling got to

59:00

talk about their eighth Stones

59:02

studio album Let album, This is

59:04

a pretty is a

59:06

pretty important time for the

59:08

Rolling Stones A big turning point

59:10

in their history their this is

59:13

the time this is the time of No Go

59:15

Jones. No Go Brian Jones man, this

59:17

guy, important part Kind of the

59:19

leader of the band when the

59:21

when the Stones first by 1969, 1969, he is

59:23

so so drugged out in in

59:25

the studio to try to record

59:27

this album this he can't contribute

59:29

contribute nothing. Nothing. So it's it's like, what

59:31

do we do with this

59:33

guy? this know, he was kind

59:36

of the boss of the band

59:38

of now he doesn't bring anything

59:41

So they did what they

59:43

felt they had to

59:45

do They fired then within

59:47

then a just a couple

59:49

of months after firing

59:51

him You gotta feel

59:54

bad for this guy

59:56

for you go from

59:58

being you go from being the in

1:00:00

Stones to being nothing after that. And I

1:00:02

that imagine that's how

1:00:04

he he felt. And he he

1:00:06

just drugged himself to

1:00:09

death death. didn't he like falling a swimming

1:00:11

bull and drown or something? Yeah but I

1:00:13

would imagine he was pretty damn high when

1:00:15

it happened. Yeah. So... As far as this

1:00:17

album this one of my favorite stones records.

1:00:19

Oh man it's got some great stuff on

1:00:22

it yeah they were replaced Brian with Mick

1:00:24

Taylor that was a good move this album

1:00:26

it's pretty damn good it's it's it's all

1:00:28

over the place I mean you got like

1:00:30

some country sounding songs and some folk rock

1:00:32

kind of Bob Dylany stuff on here but

1:00:34

Man, you got songs like Gimme Shelter, Midnight

1:00:37

Rambler, you can't always get what you want.

1:00:39

Classics right there. This one goes number three

1:00:41

in the United States, but man, it goes

1:00:43

platinum and double platinum pretty much everywhere on

1:00:45

earth. Yeah, it's a great

1:00:48

record. And yeah, the title tracks

1:00:50

cool and the monkey man. But

1:00:52

yeah, this is one that I

1:00:54

got went through. I started and

1:00:57

I got to get back on

1:00:59

it, but like I started trying

1:01:01

to go through and review all

1:01:03

the stones records one at a

1:01:06

time. And this one ranked pretty

1:01:08

high, because it's definitely one of

1:01:10

the better ones for sure. But

1:01:12

yeah, just sad with Brian Jones,

1:01:15

horrible situation with that. But then

1:01:17

Nick Taylor, they lucked out with

1:01:19

the best replacement they could have

1:01:21

gotten with Nick Taylor. Yeah, because

1:01:24

he fit in really good, contributed

1:01:26

quite a lot, and brought us

1:01:28

some of the best Rolling Stone

1:01:31

songs out of their whole catalog.

1:01:39

I always have an

1:01:42

on-bathe bed! Don't you!

1:01:44

But I hope we're

1:01:46

not too messiatic or

1:01:49

a tri-fertusitan and love

1:01:51

is better blue! Well,

1:01:53

I am just a

1:01:55

monk of age.

1:01:58

That you

1:02:00

are woman,

1:02:02

a funky woman,

1:02:04

too, babe. I

1:02:20

I a kind of wonder, man. man, what if

1:02:22

we did a if we did the best

1:02:24

and worst the Stones? I'd be down be down for

1:02:26

that. I don't think we've ever done

1:02:28

ever Stones Rolling Stones episode. No, I don't don't think

1:02:30

we have. Yeah, I'd be up for that.

1:02:32

that. I mean, we'd have to do

1:02:34

that in a series, do that in a Right,

1:02:36

yeah. though. Right, have to split that up

1:02:39

for sure. split that up But now Yeah, but now maybe

1:02:41

we you listening and you're a Stones and

1:02:43

you're a Let us know. Maybe you can

1:02:45

join us. hard, let having company for those.

1:02:47

Those are fun. us. Yeah, that's the

1:02:49

one thing I kind of missed about

1:02:51

the of missed We had a lot of

1:02:53

fun together and we were there fun up

1:02:55

when that music was coming out. up

1:02:57

think we were was coming out. So to cover

1:03:00

it and carry ourselves. But for the

1:03:02

Rolling Stones, I would definitely want an

1:03:04

expert on with us. So

1:03:06

you want an old guy? expert

1:03:08

on with us. So you cool Yeah. Are

1:03:10

you a you a Rolling Stones

1:03:12

super that lived through the

1:03:14

glory years? Let us know.

1:03:16

Yeah, you you one cool dude

1:03:18

dude that knows a little

1:03:21

something about the Stones? We

1:03:23

could make that happen. Yeah,

1:03:25

that would be be fun. I

1:03:27

I think so, too. I

1:03:29

don't know that I've ever

1:03:31

done a super deep dive Stones. I

1:03:33

know at one time I've

1:03:35

to all their albums, their but

1:03:38

but I don't know if

1:03:40

I if I sat down and

1:03:42

gave it gave it its due. like

1:03:44

you do when you're doing

1:03:46

one of those episodes. And

1:03:48

I think that's kind of

1:03:50

the reason why I

1:03:52

like doing those, too. I like doing

1:03:55

those too because in that I and things

1:03:57

like things like in it's like, because

1:03:59

it's if we actually listen

1:04:01

to those albums it might

1:04:03

be pretty good. might be with

1:04:05

and same with the stones you know I

1:04:07

Stones I know great stuff, but

1:04:09

maybe there's stuff on those

1:04:11

albums I don't really know

1:04:14

that well and be

1:04:16

like, know that song I never

1:04:18

knew of I my new

1:04:20

favorite is my new favorite stone I Well

1:04:22

quite a few hidden hidden gems.

1:04:24

doing that. Yeah, I bet. Although now I'm getting into

1:04:26

like the early 80s and it's gonna it's gonna

1:04:28

get rough. Yeah. You gotta watch out for that Mick

1:04:31

Jagger solo stuff too. I don't know if I'm

1:04:33

gonna go into the solo records too man. I don't

1:04:35

know like let me get through the Stones catalog

1:04:37

first. But I don't think I can do this Mick

1:04:39

Jagger solo years. I found a Mick Jagger solo

1:04:41

album and I listened to it. I think it was

1:04:43

called She's the Boss. and it's like yep there's one

1:04:45

good song on here was that all right so

1:04:48

that he had a video on MTV and I know

1:04:50

we're going off the rails here but like it

1:04:52

was like in the late 80s I think it might

1:04:54

have been that record it was a single of

1:04:56

a song called let's work do you remember that I

1:04:58

think so yes. And it was a video of

1:05:00

Mick like running through a neighborhood and like the further

1:05:02

he goes the more people come out of their

1:05:04

houses and you know join him and it's almost like

1:05:07

the forest gump scene before the forest gump movie.

1:05:09

Oh boy. And like they're joining in like construction workers

1:05:11

are dancing around with him and let's work. It's

1:05:13

a terrible song. See, and that's why, and this happens

1:05:15

to me with a lot of bands, but that's

1:05:17

why I think the Beatles benefited by being gone in

1:05:19

the 80s. You're right. People could look back on

1:05:21

the Beatles as this legendary thing that used to exist.

1:05:24

But the Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger's doing those

1:05:26

weird things with David Bowie, and you know, it made

1:05:28

me as a little kid in the 80s go,

1:05:30

I don't think I like the Rolling Stones. And

1:05:33

so I've always been more when people

1:05:35

say Beatles or the Stones. I always

1:05:38

say the Beatles because I was there

1:05:40

in the 80s and I seen what

1:05:42

the Stones were doing. And same with

1:05:44

Queen, you know, I'm a way bigger

1:05:46

Queen fan nowadays than I ever was

1:05:49

when I was in in my prime.

1:05:51

Oh, you're placing it off hot space

1:05:53

and shit like jazz. The song Radio

1:05:55

Googoo was what wrecked it for me.

1:05:58

Oh, I love Radio Gagga. That's a

1:06:00

good. I hate that. and I hated

1:06:02

it when I was a kid and

1:06:04

I was like Queen sucks and then

1:06:07

I didn't know nothing more about him

1:06:09

until Wayne's World came out and it's

1:06:11

like okay well that one section in

1:06:13

that song is pretty cool and then

1:06:16

after that then doing this show then

1:06:18

it's like okay I'm gonna go back

1:06:20

and listen to some more Queen and

1:06:22

then it's like ogre battle hell yes

1:06:25

yeah but that's few and far between

1:06:27

but I still want to do a

1:06:29

heavier side of Queen episode too Yeah,

1:06:31

all right, all kinds of good ideas

1:06:34

coming out of this. Although it best

1:06:36

and worst would lend itself to more

1:06:38

comedy. Yeah. Because even on the records

1:06:40

I like, their stuff are like, oh

1:06:43

God, no. Yeah. Because they go too

1:06:45

far into the Broadway stuff for me

1:06:47

at times. Yes. I'm like, ah, it's

1:06:49

too show tuning. You know? Yeah, could

1:06:52

be fun though. Because I hate musicals,

1:06:54

that's the crazy thing. I hate musical,

1:06:56

but I like Queen. Makes no sense.

1:06:58

Yeah, they were kind of a musical,

1:07:01

I don't know. Yeah, it's, yeah, I

1:07:03

don't know, it's a taste, you gotta

1:07:05

acquire, that's for sure. All

1:07:07

right then we got one more that

1:07:10

takes us all the way back to

1:07:12

1964 hell we're talking about the stones

1:07:14

might as talk about the Beatles 60

1:07:16

years ago the Beatles for sale album

1:07:19

is released it's their fourth full-length studio

1:07:21

album you think it goes number one

1:07:23

in the US no it's not even

1:07:25

released in the US isn't the crazy

1:07:28

what the United States gets is an

1:07:30

album called Beatles 65 and it's put

1:07:32

out right at the end of 1964

1:07:34

to be the cool new thing in

1:07:37

the US where Beatlemania is already running

1:07:39

crazy. This is the start of the

1:07:41

change of the Beatles and really as

1:07:43

far as Beatles music goes what I

1:07:46

want to sit and listen to. This

1:07:48

is as far back as I go.

1:07:50

I don't like the stuff before this

1:07:53

it's just to I don't know at

1:07:55

this point they're starting to kind of

1:07:57

shed their boy band image a little

1:07:59

bit Because that's what I

1:08:02

look at when I see the

1:08:04

Beatles. I think they're young guys,

1:08:06

yes, they were writing their own

1:08:08

songs for the most part, playing

1:08:10

their own instruments, that's great, but

1:08:12

they were totally marketed as a

1:08:14

boy band, one of the first

1:08:16

ever, and it was huge, and

1:08:18

it totally worked, it took off

1:08:20

to the point where girls are

1:08:22

screaming and fain, and guys are

1:08:24

getting their hair cuts like the

1:08:26

Beatles, but by 1964, I think

1:08:28

the Beatles have become powerful enough

1:08:30

to where they don't really have

1:08:32

to listen to what the record

1:08:34

companies or their management is all

1:08:36

telling them what they need to

1:08:38

do and they can start doing

1:08:40

what they want to do. And

1:08:42

this is a good picture on

1:08:44

it's a perfect spot that encompasses

1:08:46

where they've been and also where

1:08:48

they're going. I don't even know

1:08:50

what's on this record. There's all

1:08:52

kinds of stuff on there, eight

1:08:54

days a week is on there

1:08:56

I think, and a bunch of

1:08:58

stuff like that. It was weird,

1:09:00

the releases back then, like they

1:09:02

would mix and match songs on,

1:09:04

you know, the same songs on

1:09:06

multiple types of releases. It was

1:09:08

weird right then. Yeah, yeah, because

1:09:10

they'd sell as much of it

1:09:12

as they could, you know, and

1:09:14

if... They didn't have the one

1:09:16

you were looking for, well they

1:09:18

had this other one that had

1:09:20

three songs that you were looking

1:09:22

for. Like the US version, because

1:09:24

the original version in the UK,

1:09:26

the Beatles for sale, it's got

1:09:28

some like Chuck Berry covers on

1:09:30

it and Kansas cities on there

1:09:32

and some other stuff, the other

1:09:34

like old blues rock covers that

1:09:36

they kind of up-tempoed a little

1:09:38

bit. But on the US version

1:09:40

it doesn't have a lot of

1:09:42

those, it's more of their original

1:09:44

songs. And this one doesn't have

1:09:46

as many songs on it about

1:09:48

love. And, you know, being in

1:09:50

love and holding hands and things

1:09:52

like that. Right, yeah, the Beatles

1:09:54

are like, we gotta make an

1:09:56

album for the dudes, you know?

1:09:58

And so this is where it

1:10:00

begins. They start doing their own

1:10:02

things. This might have been around

1:10:04

the time they discovered marijuana. It's

1:10:06

very possible. So there you have

1:10:09

it. Those are your very few

1:10:11

album anniversaries. You got the foreigner.

1:10:13

I wanna know what love is?

1:10:15

No you don't. You got the

1:10:17

clash with London calling. Should I

1:10:19

stay or should I go? George

1:10:21

Harrison. It's weird. Joe Walsh. It's

1:10:23

awesome. The Rolling Stones, let it

1:10:25

bleed. Gotta love that and the

1:10:27

Beatles for sale even if you're

1:10:29

not a big Beatles fan it's

1:10:31

a cool snapshot into a perfect

1:10:33

place in Beatles history where they're

1:10:35

kind of changing right before your

1:10:37

eyes from what they were being

1:10:39

this pop sensation into being more

1:10:41

of a serious band and really

1:10:43

developing I think as songwriters and

1:10:45

musicians to take it to a

1:10:47

whole new level which they will

1:10:49

not my favorite but still pretty

1:10:51

cool and like I said that's

1:10:53

about as far back as I

1:10:55

want to go with the Beatles

1:10:57

and even some of this stuff

1:10:59

on here is still sort of

1:11:01

poppy old I want to hold

1:11:03

your hand type stuff but still

1:11:05

pretty cool man not a lot

1:11:07

but some quality stuff right there.

1:11:10

And there's no fun

1:11:12

in it. Why should

1:11:15

it be so much

1:11:17

to ask of you

1:11:20

what you're doing to

1:11:22

me? I've been waiting

1:11:25

here for you. Wondering

1:11:27

what you're gonna do.

1:11:30

Should you need a

1:11:32

love that's true? It's

1:11:35

me. Please stop your

1:11:37

lying. So speaking of

1:11:40

all that, man, that

1:11:42

brings us up you,

1:11:45

what you're doing to

1:11:47

me. So speaking of

1:11:50

all that, man, that

1:11:52

brings us up to

1:11:55

2024. And let's talk

1:11:57

about some new releases.

1:12:00

coming our way. I don't usually talk

1:12:03

about re-releases, but this one to me

1:12:05

is pretty damn cool. Have you ever

1:12:07

heard of the band Brazin Abbott? No,

1:12:09

that's new for me. So this was

1:12:12

a band that came out in the

1:12:14

90s. They were a Finnish band that

1:12:16

were founded by a Bulgarian guitarist named

1:12:19

Nickleau Cotsev. This guy was a child

1:12:21

prodigy violinist who grew up and he

1:12:23

just wanted to be a rock and

1:12:26

roller. So he picked up an electric

1:12:28

guitar and just started kicking ass. He's

1:12:30

also known for being a producer and

1:12:33

an engineer on albums for bands like

1:12:35

Rose Tattoo and Molly Hatchet and Saxon.

1:12:37

So I mean he's a rocker, no

1:12:40

doubt about it. So in the 90s

1:12:42

he started creating songs and then he

1:12:44

needed to find a singer. But then

1:12:46

he found a bunch of different singers

1:12:49

that wanted to work with him. So

1:12:51

his cool thing is he likes to

1:12:53

use multiple different singers on each one

1:12:56

of his albums. He's been coming out

1:12:58

with albums for years. So that means

1:13:00

he's had Gorn Edmund from In-Veigh Malmstein

1:13:03

sing on his stuff. He's had Thomas

1:13:05

Vicksstrom from Candlemass singing on him. He's

1:13:07

got that yorn dude who's an awesome

1:13:10

singer. Tony Harnell, we just talked about

1:13:12

him on the geekwire. He sings on

1:13:14

some of it, along with Joe Lynn

1:13:16

Turner and Glenn Hughes. Heck yeah. So

1:13:19

the cool thing about this is that

1:13:21

Frontiers is reissuing a couple of their

1:13:23

older albums. Bad Religion and Eye of

1:13:26

the Storm. which

1:13:28

is great news for me because I've

1:13:30

always wanted to own those on CD

1:13:32

but you just don't find it in

1:13:34

the wild and I look man I

1:13:36

always look I read about the span

1:13:38

years ago all I had to do

1:13:40

is here Glenn Hughes was in it

1:13:43

and I wanted to know all about

1:13:45

it and so I get to looking

1:13:47

for it and I thought well I'd

1:13:49

never see it anywhere maybe I just

1:13:51

got a breakdown order online right now

1:13:53

on eBay a CD copy of Eye

1:13:55

of the Storm sells for over $200.

1:13:59

So thank you Frontiers you

1:14:01

making Brazen Abbot for

1:14:04

and now I can finally get myself a copy of

1:14:06

those CDs. affordable

1:14:09

again. Now I

1:14:12

can finally get

1:14:14

myself a copy

1:14:17

of those CDs.

1:14:30

1:14:32

1:14:34

1:14:36

1:15:53

of time of year when come

1:15:55

out with Christmas to

1:15:58

come out with better albums and

1:16:00

who better than Christmas flute masters jethro

1:16:02

tall? in on the action. They got

1:16:04

a Christmas album coming out. Which is

1:16:06

funny. I joked about that with my

1:16:08

wife the other night and she actually

1:16:10

said to me, I think Jethrothal's already

1:16:12

got a Christmas album and I was

1:16:15

like, what are you even talking about?

1:16:17

Do you even know what I'm talking

1:16:19

about? But it's because her dad likes

1:16:21

Jethrothal and he was looking for the

1:16:23

Christmas album but she couldn't ever find

1:16:25

it so she says this might be

1:16:27

a re-release. That's

1:16:31

news to me if Jethro

1:16:33

Tulls ever released a Christmas

1:16:36

album and it's definitely news

1:16:38

to me that they're going

1:16:40

to release a Christmas album.

1:16:43

I just think it's awesome

1:16:45

that my wife is contributing

1:16:47

to the Decimal Geek podcast

1:16:50

on the Jethro Tull Front.

1:16:52

I just think that's amazing

1:16:54

that your wife has thoughts

1:16:56

on Jethro Tulls for the

1:16:59

wife. Maybe,

1:17:01

maybe not.

1:17:03

Yeah, maybe.

1:17:05

We'll see

1:17:07

if she's

1:17:10

right. No

1:17:12

children's loved

1:17:14

around to

1:17:16

the final

1:17:18

Electric Wizard they've been around for a

1:21:12

while they're like super doom like Sabbath

1:21:14

on acid pretty cool man I like

1:21:17

this now cool fun to

1:21:19

this band, to fun

1:21:21

to listen to they

1:21:23

got this thing out now

1:21:26

it's it's called Black Magic

1:21:28

Rituals and I think, i

1:21:30

something like that like that black for

1:21:32

sure And perversions? And perversions

1:21:34

Wow, that's a bonus that that's so

1:21:36

so uh this is is pretty cool though

1:21:38

very unique what they've done

1:21:41

What I understand done what i that

1:21:43

this is like a is that album

1:21:45

a instead of just releasing like

1:21:47

a greatest hits album They

1:21:49

have gotten to a room they have

1:21:51

gotten just jammed them out in

1:21:53

the studio studio One, two, three, four,

1:21:55

hit it And record it,

1:21:57

hit record So it's straight up.

1:21:59

jam room style, style the album the album

1:22:01

of some of their most popular

1:22:04

songs and and they're now releasing that

1:22:06

that. it'd be like like. If a

1:22:08

band you really liked had a

1:22:10

pretty good collection of songs that

1:22:12

you liked you liked, and like man I

1:22:14

just don't want to buy a

1:22:16

greatest hits album because hits album all

1:22:19

those songs on other albums already

1:22:21

already. guys found a way to

1:22:23

make it pretty cool to make

1:22:25

it something unique and a little

1:22:27

bit different so their fans aren't

1:22:29

just buying a rehashed greatest album but

1:22:31

they're getting something kind of cool

1:22:33

and unique out of this this. I

1:22:36

like that yeah it's pretty neat

1:22:38

I like it electric wizard it. magic

1:22:40

rituals and perversions available on December

1:22:42

13 on December

1:22:45

13th. and

1:23:49

And then, a whole

1:23:52

lot lot mean I mean, you

1:23:54

got Halloween at the the

1:23:56

booticon. That's coming out on

1:23:58

the 13th, if you a

1:24:00

a live album album. You

1:24:02

got that coming your way. And then

1:24:04

I've got one final band I want

1:24:06

to tell you about. I really got

1:24:08

to give it up to CGCM because

1:24:11

they keep a pretty good list of

1:24:13

bands coming out with new stuff and

1:24:15

I've learned that there's other places I

1:24:17

can look to try to find things

1:24:19

that are new and coming out unless

1:24:21

it's December. And in that case there's

1:24:23

not a whole lot out there. But

1:24:25

I found this band called Violet and

1:24:27

I listened to it and I said

1:24:30

But it might even be

1:24:33

a little too cheesy for

1:24:35

you my friend. Maybe. This

1:24:37

stuff is, it's Time Machine

1:24:39

Music is what it is.

1:24:41

Their debut album came out

1:24:43

in 2022, self-titled. I mean,

1:24:46

what do they call it?

1:24:48

A-O-R? A list to a

1:24:50

song called Bad Dream. This

1:24:52

is some top gun soundtrack

1:24:54

quality stuff here. It

1:24:57

could totally fit on there. I think

1:25:00

they're from Denmark? Is that how that

1:25:02

works? When it's like, instead of dot

1:25:04

com, it's dot D-E? Does that mean

1:25:07

they're from Denmark? Okay, cool. Yeah, nice.

1:25:09

They're Dutch. Little detective work that paid

1:25:11

off there. I don't know, man. I

1:25:13

don't know if I should use this

1:25:16

as a play out song or not.

1:25:18

I made you listen to it. So

1:25:20

how about this? Why don't we play

1:25:22

it? And like, you know, we're talking

1:25:25

about doing a Friday Night Live kind

1:25:27

of doing a live stream on New

1:25:29

Year's Eve. Yes. That's something we used

1:25:31

to do on Friday Night Live. We

1:25:34

called Smasher Trash. Yeah. So why don't

1:25:36

we play this on the way out?

1:25:38

And then in the comments, you guys

1:25:40

tell us, is it a smash or

1:25:43

is it trash? All right, so which

1:25:45

one do I play? Do I play

1:25:47

the the bad dream top gun song

1:25:49

or do I play arms around which

1:25:52

was the crazy ballad with the super

1:25:54

epic ending that I made you listen

1:25:56

to? I liked bad dream a little

1:25:59

better but arms around is like the

1:26:01

bad power ballad. Let's do bad, let's

1:26:03

do bad dream. I think that fits

1:26:05

our audience a little bit here. Okay,

1:26:08

all right, you're totally correct on that.

1:26:10

But if you like bad dream, then

1:26:12

you have to go check out the

1:26:14

song Arms Around. It is a super

1:26:17

ballad. You would never, never, would you

1:26:19

play this for somebody and they would

1:26:21

tell you, oh, that came out in

1:26:23

2024. Never in a million years. As

1:26:26

a matter of fact, if this would

1:26:28

have came out in 1984, It would

1:26:30

have been a massive hit. I know

1:26:32

it would have, especially that song, Arms

1:26:35

Around. Are you sure you don't want

1:26:37

to play that one? I kind of

1:26:39

do, but it would play that one.

1:26:41

It would absolutely be the wimpiest thing

1:26:44

I've ever chosen to play on this

1:26:46

show ever. But it's far out. Well,

1:26:48

let's play that one and you guys

1:26:51

tell us as a Smasher as a

1:26:53

Trash. Okay, because some people are going

1:26:55

to be like, that's disgusting and I

1:26:57

can't believe you played that on Decibel

1:27:00

Geek. And I do know that there

1:27:02

is a certain segment of this audience

1:27:04

that will absolutely love this song. Oh

1:27:06

yeah. Yeah, I like, I think I'm

1:27:09

more of the melodic rock guy, that's

1:27:11

why I was kind of surprised like

1:27:13

Aaron's bringing this, it's getting into this,

1:27:15

but, but now I'm interested in the

1:27:18

feedback. Well, honestly, when I first heard

1:27:20

it, I just wanted you to listen

1:27:22

to it because I thought you were

1:27:24

going to love it. And then as

1:27:27

I'm listening to it, I go, why

1:27:29

this is, like I said, it's time

1:27:31

machine stuff where it makes you feel

1:27:33

like you're listening to something from a

1:27:36

different time. But it's powerful enough to

1:27:38

where it actually kind of gives you

1:27:40

feelings when you're listening to it? And

1:27:43

it might be a nostalgia thing. It

1:27:45

might be, you know, something you felt

1:27:47

like... The way the music made you

1:27:49

feel back in the 80s. This has

1:27:52

got that. So the band, so the

1:27:54

band is called Violet. The new album

1:27:56

is called Mystery. It's out on the

1:27:58

13th on Metallopolis Records. All

1:28:02

right, brace yourself for this. has been the

1:28:04

Decibel Geek times, has been The you Geek

1:28:06

want to forget, the you never want to

1:28:08

forget, the people you always want

1:28:10

to remember, something like that, a

1:28:12

and a little look into the

1:28:14

future, and that's what you got

1:28:16

right now. It's you got and this

1:28:18

is a song called song called Arms and

1:28:20

we'll see you next week. Let

1:28:22

1:28:24
