4:05

We're having a good time.

that fourth voice. Ladies and gentlemen

4:29

joining us again. Chris Jericho.

4:31

Jericho again hanging with his

4:33

friends. They're running through his brain.

4:36

The dainties that were me.

4:38

That was like one of

4:40

the themes of it, but with

4:42

that I'm surprised you haven't thought

4:45

of that one before That's

4:47

a very good one and

4:49

we just say just to clarify

4:51

so you guys know Nick

4:53

is playing these live He's

4:55

got his Birdland Grets look-alike guitar

4:57

here. He's got his lyric sheets,

5:00

and he's written these songs

5:02

just for us tonight This

5:04

is a very special night for

5:06

everybody listening. It's the first

5:08

time out of 597 episodes

5:10

where Nick did Live interest. You

5:13

gotta do new things. When you

5:15

guys have been around as

5:17

long as you have. That's

5:19

true. You have to add new

5:22

elements to the show to

5:24

expand the audience, which is

5:26

perfect because we have a new

5:28

element to the show, Andy. For

5:30

the first time from quarantine,

5:32

from the internet, you know,

5:34

I'm Charlie Para. Okay.

5:52

Wow. I did not see that coming.

5:54

Charlie, welcome. Hey man, thanks a lot.

5:57

It's my first time in the podcast.

5:59

I had no idea it was going

6:01

to be like this. I think it

6:03

feels like I'm with Chris, but I'm

6:06

also with Rob Schneider, Adam Sandler, and

6:08

Steve Buschaimed. It's like, it's nuts. I

6:10

had no idea it was going to

6:13

be like this. No one knows for

6:15

sure what they're getting into. Couldn't you

6:17

have picked three better looking comedians to

6:19

compare us to? That's probably fair. I

6:23

mean it could be worse they

6:25

could have said I know Tom

6:27

Green or something. Watch the Tom

6:29

Green attacks around the Jones

6:31

brothers he's like their personal

6:33

hero. Nicky would you like

6:36

some sausage? Oh it's great

6:38

to have you here Charlie.

6:40

Welcome to the show and

6:42

We are recording this on

6:44

the heels of a quarantine

6:46

performance here in Joylet, Illinois.

6:48

Which, sorry I shouldn't have

6:50

said that when you were

6:52

taking a drink, but you

6:54

guys killed it tonight, man.

6:56

It sounded great. All those great

6:59

80s kiss covers delivered at top

7:01

volume. It was great. Good crowd.

7:03

belt good. Thank you for that.

7:06

And I'll say, it's so funny

7:08

that you just said that, because

7:10

I swear to God. When I

7:12

walked out on stage and I

7:15

said Joliet, it almost slipped out.

7:17

And then I started over thinking

7:19

myself, is it pronounced joyly? Is

7:22

it Joliet? Where am I? And then

7:24

I was like, if I say the

7:26

wrong one, I'm gonna get lynched here

7:28

because of Chris L and his pronunciation

7:30

of Joliet in Joylet. Either that or

7:32

the crowd would have went nuts. Do

7:35

they like being called Joylet? Maybe. Okay.

7:37

I don't know. Thankfully I stuck with

7:39

the proper pronounce. I've never heard it

7:41

elsewhere, as obvious as it. Seems I've

7:43

never heard anybody say it other than

7:46

Chris L. So I don't know what

7:48

I heard it from a co-worker who

7:50

said it. So obviously I immediately latched

7:52

on to it. But either way it's

7:54

one of those ones that could be

7:56

like a secret bad word in this

7:58

town. So I'm just glad. that I

8:00

remembered that I can see.

8:03

Well, joy! Yes. Yeah, there

8:05

you go. So. Well, thank

8:07

you for having us. We

8:09

are here tonight and we're

8:12

leaving tomorrow and I thought

8:14

it'd be fun to have

8:16

Charlie come join us. Yeah,

8:18

it's great. And experience the

8:21

pot of thunder experience. Absolutely.

8:23

I do know what's back

8:25

and that intro was nuts.

8:27

That's one way to put

8:29

it. I don't think any

8:32

of us knew what to

8:34

expect. I just love the

8:36

fact that Nick showed up

8:38

with his guitar. That was

8:41

really good. Nick nailed it.

8:43

Giving off Labamba vibes with

8:45

his, you know, Nicki Jones

8:47

and his flying guitar. Doing

8:50

theme songs for everybody. Oh,

8:52

you know, since we have

8:54

a Latino in the room,

8:56

I figure I'd start with

8:59

the easily digestible references. Charlie,

9:01

tell everyone where you're from.

9:03

I'm from Lima, Peru. Yeah.

9:05

So there you go. So

9:07

if you hear his accent,

9:10

it is a real Spanish

9:12

accent from Peru. Yeah, I'm

9:14

not from San Diego, if

9:16

you were wondering. Yeah, you

9:19

know, you could be, you

9:21

know. South America, I've never

9:23

been down there. Is that,

9:25

which country is it, is

9:28

it, the long skinny one

9:30

is Chile, right? Yeah, it's

9:32

where Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil,

9:34

Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador. So, um,

9:37

how far down is Peru

9:39

down the, down the South

9:41

America chain? It's right that,

9:43

right, like in the middle

9:45

of it. It's like very

9:48

close to Ecuador. It's like

9:50

right in border with Ecuador.

9:52

Okay. Yeah. Is it landlocked

9:54

or is it ocean front

9:57

area on Peru? There are

9:59

like three parts in Peru,

10:01

actually is the coast, uh,

10:03

the mountains and the jungle.

10:06

Actually, my father is from

10:08

the jungle. So, but actually

10:10

I leave. You can tell

10:12

by looking at you that

10:15

your father is from the

10:17

jungle. Really? Which is of

10:19

course the best song on

10:21

Carnival of Souls. I agree,

10:23

but that's another time. One

10:26

of our catchphrases on here

10:28

is, it's a high, about

10:30

the highest compliment we can

10:32

pay to other men is

10:35

the jungle maleness that you

10:37

give off, and so that's

10:39

a good thing. Having a

10:41

parent come from the jungle,

10:44

not a bad thing. It's

10:46

a, that sounds good. It's

10:48

like having, you know, Chest

10:50

hair like Pelo de Pachuga

10:53

Exacto The kind of body

10:55

hair that just falls off

10:57

you into hotel bathrooms and

10:59

pisses off the next people

11:01

who are in here. So

11:04

all right So what do

11:06

we have here Nick? Did

11:08

you bake something? Yeah. Do

11:10

you want to grab your

11:13

guitar? Charlie

11:18

what would a rock and roll

11:20

podcast be if it didn't have

11:22

a cooking segment? Yeah, we just

11:24

finished our South American geography segment

11:26

and now we're on to cook.

11:28

We're in second, well third period

11:30

now. Sounds like my middle, it

11:32

sounds like my middle school experience.

11:34

I got Spanish and I got

11:36

fucking cooking. Yeah, with Mr. Jones.

11:38

Tell us about what we got

11:40

here Nick. Same thing as last

11:42

week we had those, uh... those

11:44

cookies, the goat cheese, maple cookies.

11:46

But I put pecans in them

11:48

this time because I figure we

11:50

do the butter tarts usually when

11:52

we get together. So this is

11:54

kind of a cookie version of

11:56

it. They're very good. Did you

11:58

have one, Charlie? Yeah, I had

12:00

one. So P.J. Farley was here.

12:02

He can't join us for the

12:04

show because he has to drive

12:06

the, uh, the Dattelack, as we

12:08

call it tomorrow, to Cincinnati. But

12:10

P.J. did come and hang out

12:12

with, hang out with us for

12:14

a bit, and he probably had

12:16

about seven cookies. Yeah. He loved those

12:18

things. I respect that. As a

12:20

night cookie enthusiast, I respect that.

12:22

That's me every night. Once the

12:24

wife and kids go to bed,

12:26

it's pitch black in the house.

12:28

It's deadest time. And that's become

12:30

cookie time over the years. That's

12:32

what it is now. So I

12:34

get it. And something that we

12:36

talked about before we started recording,

12:38

but I think it was good

12:40

enough to bring up to the public. Charlie

12:43

over here just turned 40, right

12:45

a couple days ago. a couple

12:47

days ago on the road. I

12:49

warned him that you got to

12:51

go easy on the cookies from

12:54

here on out because I don't

12:56

know about you, you guys who

12:58

have reached that threshold, other guys

13:01

in the room, but when I

13:03

hit 40, that shit fell off

13:05

the cliff. I can't even look

13:08

at anything fattening without turning into

13:10

a complete slob, so. Yeah, but

13:12

there's jungle metabolism. Yeah, that's true.

13:15

Actually, the normal rules don't

13:17

apply to Charlie. Actually, I

13:19

do the PJ Farley and

13:21

I'm going to do this

13:24

quarantine has changed my life

13:26

big time in several things.

13:28

Now, I was a vegetarian, now

13:30

I'd meet, I did not drink

13:33

coffee, now I do. What I

13:35

have changed is that I

13:37

have due to the PJ

13:39

Farley diet, low calorie cocktails.

13:41

A lot, but low calorie

13:43

cocktails. So what are some

13:45

of those whether they be

13:47

all vodka-based? What's what kind

13:49

of low-calorie cocktails do you

13:51

drink? It's like you know

13:53

those bokasers setsers cans Yeah,

13:55

yeah, and margaritas with no

13:57

salt because salt retains liquids

13:59

Now we're into biology continuing the

14:02

new format. This is going to

14:04

be like high school. We had

14:06

Spanish than cooking our biology with

14:08

Mr. Para. We're going to jump

14:10

off the bed for recess for

14:12

a while. Exactly. Can't wait for

14:14

music class with Mr. Jones. We

14:16

can teach me how to play

14:19

his birdland. I love that you

14:21

keep going to the Birdland. I

14:23

just love the fact I know

14:25

that that's called that, or at

14:27

least Ted Eduardo Nugent plays the

14:29

Birdland. That's true. I was trying

14:31

to say it, it looked like

14:33

Billy Duffy Ducks, guitar, right? That's

14:36

what I was going to say.

14:38

Yes, I was going to make

14:40

that comparison. But yeah, great crowd

14:42

we have in here tonight and

14:44

you and Nick. Tuge were commiserating

14:46

on what song we're gonna do

14:48

tonight? We were. We, uh, Nick

14:50

had an idea, I had an

14:53

idea and we decided this might

14:55

be better for tonight with his

14:57

idea being a great one for

14:59

the next time, I mean, I'm

15:01

around. Oh, so your idea is

15:03

the one. My idea is the

15:05

one that one. We decided because

15:07

maybe we think the video might

15:10

be a little bit more fun.

15:12

Okay. Are you ready to get

15:14

into it? I'm ready to get

15:16

into it. All right, so usually

15:18

we play. You introducing the song

15:20

when you're not with us, but

15:22

when you're with us we play

15:24

the other Chris Jay We know

15:27

our mother Chris Jones Do you

15:29

have all the info in your

15:31

head of album title on everything?

15:33

Song title album title artist, but

15:35

it's but the one that they

15:37

use is from the the I

15:39

got it I got it. I

15:41

got it. You got it. Yeah.

15:44

All right. Let's turn the microphone

15:46

over to Chris Jones This one's

15:48

called Big City Nights. Worldwide live.

15:50

The scorpions. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

15:52

El Madre. She's doing an impression

15:54

of his intro that we play

15:56

all the time when he's not

15:58

with us. So the reason why

16:01

Nick and I like this idea

16:03

is this whole week you guys

16:05

have done such a great job

16:07

of promoting our show at La

16:09

Fora at the Forge in Joliet

16:11

and the clips you kept showing

16:13

us when we did the T's

16:15

Me Please Me episode which was

16:18

a huge hit. as was the

16:20

I'm leaving you episode another huge

16:22

hit so I've had this one

16:24

in my in my mind for

16:26

a while to do worldwide big

16:28

city nights so it's an old

16:30

one man it's from like 1984

16:32

is the one that we need

16:35

that's the one that's the one

16:37

that's the one yeah so this

16:39

is the live version of big

16:41

city nights from love at first

16:43

thing Which is a little different.

16:45

It's got a little bit more

16:47

of a sing-along on the guitar

16:50

soles a little different, but this

16:52

is a classic scorpions tune But

16:54

the video is so much fun,

16:56

and that's another reason why we

16:58

wanted to do it Charlie? scorpions

17:00

fan. How do you feel about

17:02

them? Were they big in South

17:04

America? You grew up down there

17:07

obviously, right? Yes, of course. Actually,

17:09

this is pretty cool because Pretty

17:11

much all the music that I've

17:13

listened like mostly my entire life.

17:15

It's been like 80s music For

17:17

two reasons the first one obviously

17:19

because in the 90s everything arrived

17:21

late there Right like I told

17:24

Chris like Nirbanas and Platt was

17:26

already out that what I knew

17:28

was big care and you know

17:30

sure and stuff but also because

17:32

my my sisters We have a

17:34

17 year old 17 year difference.

17:36

So they were into the 80s

17:38

for quite some time. So you

17:41

were the baby. You were a

17:43

little baby 17 years later. Yeah.

17:45

Okay. Oh, so that's why you

17:47

know so much 80s music. Yes.

17:49

Actually, yes. And of

17:51

course like lots

17:53

of music, not

17:55

necessarily just like

17:58

hair metal or

18:00

hard rock related

18:02

music, but also

18:04

like I mentioned

18:06

before like level

18:08

42, the patch

18:10

mode, and even

18:12

the Caribbean Queen.

18:15

And all those

18:17

guys. He's

18:19

my new favorite guy. I

18:21

knew you'd love him. My all

18:24

time favorite song. I knew

18:26

you'd love him. He's like the

18:28

mascot of quarantine. Everyone's favorite

18:30

guy. Like when Rich introduced Don't

18:32

Stop Believin' at your birthday

18:34

party and said it was the

18:36

greatest song ever written. After

18:38

they're said, I took them aside

18:40

and I go, how can

18:42

you say that when Caribbean Queen

18:44

is also in your side?

18:46

You just, you can't say one

18:48

and have the other. It's

18:50

just impossible. Actually, they have a

18:52

really cool story about what

18:54

we're going to see tonight because

18:56

actually, I've watched Scorpions Live

18:58

once and that was in Germany.

19:00

No, wait, in France, in

19:02

Hellfest 2015. You saw them play.

19:04

Yes. I was playing there

19:06

in a very small booth, in

19:08

a video game related booth.

19:10

So after I finished my mission

19:12

there, I went to watch

19:14

the whole show and everything. I

19:16

got to watch Motorhead in

19:18

one of their final, yeah, it

19:20

was a really cool experience

19:22

and now that we're going to

19:24

watch this, it was like,

19:26

oh my God, this is like

19:28

a, like traveling in time

19:30

because I probably saw that. Yeah.

19:32

So this would be from

19:34

30 years earlier. And that's the

19:36

thing with the Scorpions we've

19:38

discussed. They never lose their level

19:40

of popularity. They're always, they're

19:42

still playing arenas everywhere you go

19:44

and when I saw them

19:46

at Rosemont Horizon in 2022, 23,

19:48

I was like, Rosemont Horizon,

19:50

there's no way. The place was

19:52

packed, sold out show. Oh

19:54

yeah. Then I went and saw

19:56

them about a year ago

19:58

at Las Vegas Residency. place was

20:00

packed and they still draw everywhere

20:03

they go. That's amazing considering

20:05

that they've been at

20:07

it for what over 50 years

20:09

now. Yeah, 60. Just so you

20:11

know the scorpions was a homage

20:13

to the Beatles. That's how long

20:15

they started. It's like well

20:18

they're the Beatles, we'll be

20:20

the scorpions. Just different bugs. Well

20:22

yeah basically. in the same time

20:24

frame, 1965 or whatever it was.

20:27

Exactly. Like they saw the Beatles,

20:29

they wanted to put a band

20:32

together. We'll be the scorpions. Yeah,

20:34

something's good. Geez. A far more

20:36

dangerous little critter. Yeah, well that's

20:39

how you want up the Beatles.

20:41

You pick a lethal insect that

20:43

works, you know. Would a scorpion

20:46

be classified as an insect? Oh

20:48

I don't know. Are we morphing

20:50

into another high school class? Oh

20:52

my gosh. We've finished a Spanish

20:54

class with senior Jericho a few

20:56

minutes ago. Escorpion. Are you looking

20:58

up whether a scorpion is an

21:00

insect? Yeah, I guess I am.

21:02

Sort of like a quadropod or

21:04

something like that. A sauropod. This

21:06

whole episode is turning into a

21:09

fucking. It's an arachnid. Arachnid. Arachnid.

21:11

Arachn. Arachn. I knew it was

21:13

like some kind of... That's a

21:15

spider though, right? A spider isn't

21:17

erecta. A rachted family family. That's

21:19

still a bug. That's what

21:21

I'm saying. Bug is all

21:23

encompassing. Insect you get a

21:26

little dicey there. A bug,

21:28

a nuisance, I don't know.

21:30

I just wanted to make

21:33

one quick comment about the

21:35

family dynamic that Charlie brought

21:37

up, the 17 year age

21:40

difference. You tend to get

21:42

that when one of the

21:45

parents is from the jungle.

21:47

It's totally understandable given the

21:49

background that you revealed on

21:51

here. I mean he's 85

21:54

right now. He's like doing

21:56

great. You probably got another

21:58

sibling on the way. I'm

22:00

making one right now as you

22:02

speak. He's from swinging on vines

22:04

from tree to tree for so

22:06

many years. He's the Anthony Quinn

22:08

of Peru. I want to say

22:10

like he's more like hoolier Iglesias.

22:12

All those guys are just, you

22:14

know, you can't shut it off.

22:16

Okay, it was actually in the

22:18

Marines. At some point I wanted

22:20

to be in the Navy too.

22:22

It didn't work out. No, but

22:24

I still got to... It was

22:26

my plan to be in the

22:28

Navy about something... The Peruvian Navy?

22:30

Yes, actually that was pretty much

22:33

one of my goals and dreams

22:35

way back in today. Yeah, well,

22:37

there's four boats in a, in

22:39

a canoe. He wanted to be

22:41

on the canoe. But, uh, no,

22:43

so this, this video is going

22:45

to be performance footage. I think

22:47

I've seen it. It's, it's, there's

22:49

many, it's like a box of

22:51

chocolate. This one. I was going

22:53

to ask you about this, so

22:55

what's, this is from the live,

22:57

this is to promote the live

22:59

album. This is to promote worldwide

23:01

live, which when it came out

23:03

was a huge record, it was

23:05

kind of like a Kiss a

23:07

Live of its time double album

23:09

and scorpions are at the peak

23:11

of their powers and this kind

23:13

of had all the hits and

23:15

it was really a really big

23:18

record at the time when it

23:20

came out. That's right away I'm

23:22

getting the crazy train video. promoting

23:24

a live album right with a

23:26

previously released song except for this

23:28

is kind of like this is

23:30

like a tour a tour documentary

23:32

shall we say and and worldwide

23:34

live can we just say it

23:36

huge album but one of the

23:38

worst covers in history it looks

23:40

like somebody is graphic design again

23:42

going on out going back to

23:44

high school somebody Turn that in

23:46

for their graphic design project and

23:48

got like a C minus. It's

23:50

like all. five members of the

23:52

scorpions are looking down at a

23:54

camera but they're all different sizes.

23:56

Klaus looks like he just ejaculated.

23:58

Which isn't always a bad thing.

24:00

That's probably true, the scorpions in

24:03

85, that's all they were doing.

24:05

And that, well, okay, so in

24:07

78 they had maybe one of

24:09

the best live album covers. The

24:11

Tokyo tapes, yeah, that's a great

24:13

one. Yeah, yeah. That's why you're

24:15

like, you're a little underwhelmed when

24:17

you see the cover. Worldwide live,

24:19

but then when you put it

24:21

on it's well and for me

24:23

at 14 years old I thought

24:25

the cover was fucking great like

24:27

I didn't know like whatever it's

24:29

a scorpions like scorpions in 1985

24:31

You're a little bit older Chris

24:33

and Jones boys the younger Charlie

24:35

as well scorpions in 85 were

24:37

fucking huge like maybe the big

24:39

like priest was big I think

24:41

scorpions might have even been bigger

24:43

than Iron Maiden was big too,

24:46

but scorpions were just All the

24:48

chicks love the scorps all the

24:50

dudes love the scorps. So this

24:52

was literally like the peak of

24:54

the scorpions Love at first thing

24:56

was a massive massive Because it

24:58

had rock like a hurricane for

25:00

the guys still loving you for

25:02

the girls. I'm leaving you in

25:04

the middle for everybody. That's that's

25:06

literally it. Those are the three

25:08

tunes and Big City Nice is

25:10

just one of the greatest pop

25:12

pop-y metal rock tunes We recorded

25:14

this Fuzzi on our second album

25:16

and for the first time ever

25:18

we played it live on the

25:20

Jericho Cruise. And it fucking rocks

25:22

so well we're gonna put it

25:24

in our set for our 25th

25:26

anniversary team. Are you really? That's

25:28

great. It's great. It's so good

25:31

and we've never played it live.

25:33

And Rich said it's very hard

25:35

to play. And Nick you might

25:37

and Chris as well being guitar

25:39

players. He said there's a lot

25:41

of rhythm and intricacy about it

25:43

that makes it very hard to

25:45

play. But it's such a such

25:47

a fun song. Yeah. Well, and

25:49

to be fair, the album cover

25:51

for Worldwide Live is better than

25:53

any Inge Momstein album cover in

25:55

the last 25 years, probably. Well,

25:57

you're set in the bar. Pretty

25:59

low. I'm just saying. You're just

26:01

bagging on Malmstein of anybody? It's

26:03

the connection. Well, yeah, but why

26:05

Malmstein? What does that have to

26:07

do? Because we're talking about, like,

26:09

bad Photoshop. Okay, gotcha. Gotcha. Well, we

26:12

could find a lot of bad ones for

26:14

sure. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but, but,

26:16

but, but, but, but the, sonically, what's

26:18

inside the album is. Top shelf live

26:20

material. Yeah, and the flow of

26:22

it is great. Yeah, it's just

26:24

really good And Nick how can

26:26

you bag on the trilogy album

26:28

cover where Inve's killing a three-headed

26:30

dragon with the fire from his

26:33

guitar That's one of the all-time

26:35

great album I'm saying in the

26:37

last 20-25 years They haven't been

26:39

particularly a picture of Inve every time.

26:41

Oh there they're yeah, it's kind of

26:43

like when Kiss's last album when

26:45

Monster came out. It's like that's

26:47

the album cover with the title

26:49

like that monster and kiss You

26:51

could think of a hundred amazing album

26:54

covers And that's what they came out

26:56

with and it's not even a good

26:58

band picture. It sucks Like a regular

27:00

like a t-shirt band picture for a

27:02

tour t-shirt. It's awkward. They're out of

27:04

it's like the cover of highway to

27:07

hell Like this is not a good

27:09

band picture and then the font is

27:11

dangerously close to monster energy. Oh, yeah.

27:13

I wonder if they were trying to

27:15

get a deal with them at first.

27:17

Oh my god, just would you be

27:20

surprised? I would have called Ken Kelly

27:22

do a fucking cracking coming

27:24

out of an ocean

27:26

foreheads and of course

27:28

There's a star man,

27:31

there's a fucking star

27:33

child, there's a space

27:35

band, like it writes

27:37

itself. Yeah, it could

27:39

have been done too.

27:41

Oh well. So, are

27:43

you guys ready to

27:45

get into this? I

27:47

think so least, oh

27:49

Charlie? I just I

27:52

can't help

27:57

it.

28:00

The monster album cover idea You

28:02

could have done a From the

28:04

other side of the door for

28:06

the elder and you could have

28:08

had a monster peeking through that's

28:11

awesome. There's so many there's so

28:13

many there's so many ways you

28:15

could have done this so many

28:18

Yeah, they spent like 45 minutes

28:20

on it instead on the album

28:22

cover and the album title and

28:24

listen on the album itself I'm

28:27

not a big fan of it.

28:29

That's the one thing I love

28:31

the concept of it Kiss song

28:33

in the catalog, but I did

28:36

not envy when any of the

28:38

monster songs came up. I didn't

28:40

like any of them. Nick liked

28:42

a few. I like about half

28:45

of the album. I really like

28:47

about half of the album. Okay,

28:49

well, I think it's pretty good.

28:52

I think you're giving it more

28:54

credit than I would. I like

28:56

maybe two songs. The one before,

28:58

Sonic Boom, I thought was pretty

29:01

soon. A thousand percent. Yeah, yeah.

29:03

I played it for large. It's

29:05

like, it's fucking the same fucking

29:07

lyric, it stole it from Ritchie.

29:10

Which they originally used on I

29:12

stole your love. So another good

29:14

call. Yeah, let's stop talking about

29:17

monster. Stop talking scarbins. Yeah, all

29:19

right. Well, let's take a quick

29:21

commercial break and we'll be right

29:23

back with big city nights. Legends,

30:07

I mean the video started out

30:09

like You would expect except for

30:12

more yeah, and I don't know

30:14

someone's wearing a lampshade or something

30:17

is that is that? Who is

30:19

that close? Is it buckhols? Who

30:21

is it? I don't know but

30:24

things are off the chain already

30:26

It started with a chick in

30:29

a bikini in the ocean about

30:31

ten of them and yeah, and

30:33

then nine seconds later. It's bookhols

30:36

with a fucking garbage count on

30:38

his head. It's like a brotto

30:41

Bucket head or something. Yeah, that's

30:43

right. The original garbage bucket head.

30:45

Yeah The zooming and the Mathias

30:48

jabs, knowing grin on his face,

30:50

you know, look at that, that's

30:53

the look of a man who

30:55

is in a good position in

30:57

life. He's the lead guitarist, the

31:00

scorpions, and once again, pure hedonism,

31:02

these guys are shielded. It just

31:05

chicks, there's been like, literally, like

31:07

Nick just said, there's been 15

31:09

chicks in this video, and it's

31:12

only 12 seconds in. That's more

31:14

than one second per chick. It's

31:17

a good race. There's a rare

31:19

bell signing a tit. Rare bell

31:21

doing the Afro man. What he's

31:24

become famous for in the last

31:26

couple of years. I have to

31:29

say that for his racie as

31:31

the video is so far. It's

31:33

far more family friendly than half

31:36

of their album covers. It's racy.

31:38

But like once again, I hope

31:41

you guys are watching along with

31:43

the video. This is just as

31:45

a 14 year old kid you

31:48

watch this and it's like the

31:50

heavens on fire video as Chris

31:53

said it's it's it's the peak

31:55

of Bacchanalia you watch this and

31:57

you go I want to in

32:00

a rock and roll band. Because

32:02

all I've seen is girls in

32:05

bikinis, oceans, pool tables, waist baskets,

32:07

signing of tits, and a knowing

32:09

glance from the guitar player. It's

32:11

like, fuck, I'm in for my

32:13

rest of my life. They go

32:16

and put this garbage count in.

32:18

If I didn't, if I wasn't

32:20

at risk of having curly pubes

32:22

in there, you know I would

32:24

do it. Well plus back then,

32:27

the trash cans were no joke.

32:29

No, no, you could fire a

32:31

bullet off that trash can that

32:33

was on bushels. The shotgun blast

32:35

from the father and I'm leaving

32:38

you video couldn't penetrate that garbage

32:40

can. But I mean, like you

32:42

said, it's the chicks element. So

32:44

that's what everybody, you know, when

32:47

they saw the Beatles and Ed

32:49

Sullivan, if there are no chicks

32:51

in the audience, I mean like,

32:53

okay, that's kind of cool. But

32:56

when there are chickss, fucking going...

32:58

ape shit over what's going on stage

33:00

that's what makes you want to

33:02

be in a band that's right

33:04

at least that's my attitude how

33:06

about you what was a was

33:08

a chicks element something that drew

33:10

you into picking up the guitar

33:12

absolutely 100% thank you for everybody

33:14

asked me like how come the

33:16

guitar being your life it was

33:18

because actually a therapist suggested that

33:20

because I was really bad at

33:22

school and actually when I saw

33:24

the element that I was playing

33:26

a chord and some chick came, hey

33:29

that was beautiful, I said I

33:31

got a better be the best

33:33

at doing this. That's how. And

33:35

now you see the intro. It's

33:37

been 18 seconds. And it's been

33:39

like 25 chicks and only one

33:41

band member. Smiling. You know what's

33:43

going on. One man member smiling

33:45

who happens to be the lead

33:47

guitarist and the bass player has

33:49

a fucking trash cat on his

33:51

head. It's like, yeah, I want

33:53

to be the lead guitarist. You

33:55

know, although the drummer here is

33:57

signing a tit. So that's kind of,

33:59

you know. track maybe that's why

34:01

PJ didn't stick around he knows

34:03

what he's in for when it

34:06

comes to scorpions bass playing but

34:08

you know I appreciate your honesty

34:10

there Charlie because you know certainly

34:13

a guitar player is adept as

34:15

yourself A lot of those guys

34:17

are like, oh man, I'm in

34:19

it for the art and I

34:22

want to express myself and know

34:24

all the modes and all the

34:26

frigian shit going on. It's like,

34:29

nah, I picked up the guitar

34:31

so I could get laid. Yeah,

34:33

actually I love the frigian shit,

34:36

but I love the chicks. Right,

34:38

but you, but you, like I

34:40

said, you're a virtuoso guitarist. You

34:42

obviously know all the frigian shit,

34:45

but. Let's prioritize that. That's your

34:47

blabbermouth headline. Charlie Farrell loves the

34:49

fridge and shit, but he also

34:52

loves the chicks. Yeah, I love

34:54

the fact that this is on

34:56

Patreon. Yeah, you know, if this

34:59

goes out, I'm gonna. in so

35:01

much trouble. No, trust me, that

35:03

ain't nothing compared to what's been

35:05

said on this show before. You're

35:08

fine. Yeah, you're really, you're good.

35:10

In that case, I love the

35:12

mini-sharpages and I love the chicks

35:15

too, man. Say it all. But

35:17

that's, but see, I'm trying to

35:19

say, you're all encompassing. Some of

35:22

these fucking guitar nerds is like,

35:24

oh man, you know, they don't.

35:26

They don't stop and smell the

35:28

roses. They're fucking wood shedding for

35:31

10 hours a day so they

35:33

can play dream theater shit. Where's

35:35

the tit sign in? Where does

35:38

that factor in? You have to

35:40

prioritize that. I think that's the

35:42

reason why the 80s has this

35:45

thing, not only because of the

35:47

pyrotechnical guitar playing. Oh yeah, because

35:49

it had so many party factors.

35:51

It was not as depressing as...

35:54

Later years correct and that was

35:56

part of that was a was

35:58

a backlash against the unbridled hedonism

36:01

of the 80s which which got

36:03

a little extreme so the thing

36:05

Pengelum tends to switch back to

36:08

the other side, but this is

36:10

a good side to be on

36:12

what we're looking at right here.

36:14

I mean, rare bell with a

36:17

sharpie on a woman's breast. I

36:19

mean, that's what it's all about.

36:21

Based on her reaction, he just

36:24

took the sharpie out of the

36:26

fridge. Yeah. Let's keep, let's see

36:28

what happens next. More

36:31

six. Was that Fred Astaire

36:34

and Ginger Rogers? Klaus and

36:36

the, what do you call

36:39

this type of girls? The,

36:41

kind of dancers of those

36:44

Charlie, belly dancer. Looks like

36:46

a Mariachi band in the

36:49

back around. Actually it's not

36:51

a Mariachi. It's like, it's

36:54

not a Mariachi. It's like,

36:56

I think that's Flamenco. Flamenco.

36:59

Flamenco. What a great riff.

37:01

to start this and what

37:04

a great opening melodic solo.

37:06

How big are Klaus's balls?

37:09

Jesus, that's like a fucking...

37:11

Come on now. Moose knuckle

37:14

for the ages. Andy just

37:16

pointed at the screen, notice

37:19

what was happening. Elle Jevos

37:21

de Klaus. Yeah, he's... He's

37:24

Juevo son bajos. That's what's

37:26

going on there. Yeah, he

37:29

brought his big balls. It

37:31

looks like they raided a

37:34

quincinera or whatever that is,

37:36

a 15 year old land.

37:39

Kincinera. Kincinera. I think his

37:41

belt goes down just to

37:44

hold him up from the

37:46

middle. You've heard of wedding

37:48

crashes, Klaus is a quincinciera.

37:51

He knows where to go

37:53

to find a good time.

38:12

First of all, they,

38:14

there's the chicks, they do

38:16

exactly what they were doing.

38:19

Besides that, that is

38:21

such one of my

38:23

all-time favorite verses, the

38:25

melody, the way he sings

38:28

it. It's very emotional

38:30

maybe, but it's really

38:32

heavy too. His smooth

38:34

vocal fits that riff

38:36

so well. It just makes

38:38

it, like, it just, I don't know,

38:41

for me, I've always felt that song

38:43

in my heart, you know, you just feel

38:45

it. And he's gonna get a little

38:47

bit more, he's gonna throw a little

38:50

grit in there, but he just hasn't

38:52

done it yet. But I do love

38:54

the longer droning notes like

38:56

that. That's just, in any kind

38:58

of rock song, that's a thing I've

39:01

always been into. And as a singer

39:03

who close his range is kind of

39:05

my range, It's so much

39:07

fun to sing this song.

39:10

Like, we did, like, on

39:12

the cruise, it's like, wow,

39:14

like, I love this song.

39:17

I want to sing this

39:19

song every night. Because, like,

39:21

you mentioned the dynamics

39:24

from verse to

39:26

pre-chorus to chorus.

39:28

It's going through all

39:30

the elements. It's heavy.

39:33

Yet emotional, right?

39:35

Right. What? No, it didn't. Who

39:37

said they got pulled over? Oh

39:40

yeah. This is us. That's the

39:42

look on. We got pulled over

39:44

by my friend Pacco in Maryland.

39:47

Yeah, Pacco wanted some cash. Wasn't

39:49

some money. Had a nothing but

39:51

trouble situation. Unfolding. I mean, that's

39:54

the face you make when you

39:56

see the blue and red lights

39:58

flashing behind you. So I grew

40:00

off to have an encounter as we

40:03

see later as the video progresses. Wait.

40:05

Did he actually kiss the Asian chick?

40:07

Yeah, he did. But who was behind

40:10

security? He just went over there and

40:12

gave her a kiss. Well, he's got

40:14

a scarf. He's got leather pants, leather

40:17

hat. Like they're a living large. This,

40:19

this whole video is the. highlight of

40:21

Bacchanalia Chris. Oh, absolutely. And that's what

40:23

you want to see. Yeah. I mean,

40:26

the kitty faces on the jacket that

40:28

we're seeing here would tell a different

40:30

story. Can I just say to you

40:33

like Mathias Jobs? This could be one

40:35

of the last times you ever saw

40:37

him without a hat. Oh yeah, this

40:40

is a wet ball very quickly. But

40:42

his hair looks good there though. It's

40:44

working for the time. Yeah, thin as

40:47

hell, but this is his last chance.

40:49

Right, but again, look at the grin

40:51

on his face. I mean, that's the

40:53

facial expression of a man who's winning

40:56

at life. Maybe the best looking member

40:58

of the scorpions since this time frame.

41:00

And a hell of a guitar player

41:03

too. Stone cold Steve Austin will tell

41:05

you that. Steve will tell you. What

41:07

was the quote? Give me a quote

41:10

again. Phone rings. Hey Steve, I'm got

41:12

a question for you. What do you

41:14

think with them with fast jabs and

41:17

the scorpions? I think a pretty underrated

41:19

guitar player, a pretty underrated band, no

41:21

one ever talks about. Amy reads the

41:23

guitar, top 50, greatest guitar players in

41:26

the 80s, you get your Eddie Van

41:28

Halen, you get your Warren D. Martine

41:30

and never see much about the Thiest

41:33

jobs. You like him? Yep. All right

41:35

man, I'll talk to you soon, see

41:37

you down the road. Wasn't there something

41:40

about him not having much charisma though?

41:42

I don't know. I thought that was

41:44

on one of our earlier scorpions. I

41:47

think Steve might have said that about

41:49

Vito Brought on White Lion. He'd be

41:51

right about that. Because Matthias always looked

41:53

like he was having the best time

41:56

playing. So I always thought he had

41:58

some career. Yeah, and you know, he

42:00

had the striped span, except he was

42:03

a visual guy. Yeah, like the shirt,

42:05

like the muscles and. The leopard skin

42:07

tank to up and you know. What

42:10

are you looking for? The smooch that

42:12

Klaus gives this woman. I think he

42:14

was working on hosting family feud in

42:17

Germany or something. You're Tokyo. Give him

42:19

a smoochos to all the contestants. Let's

42:21

look at the girl's face to there.

42:23

She's like, no. I didn't. It's like

42:26

the camera's rolling. It's like you like

42:28

it. Wasn't looking for a kiss. We

42:30

don't do that over here. Andy paused

42:33

it again on when Klaus is in

42:35

the car looking over. If you're, if

42:37

you have that paused on your computer

42:40

and someone walks by, they think you're

42:42

watching BJ and the bear or something

42:44

like that. All right, we gotta, we

42:47

gotta keep going and see what happens

42:49

next. Here we are, okay. Stop

43:00

that's fucking great. That's like that's like the

43:02

monkeys right there basically scorpions always did that

43:04

they did They do a clap they do

43:06

a thing and they always had these choreographed

43:09

Ridiculous things which once again lends us to

43:11

the when we were kids you thought your

43:13

band was a gang and the band hangs

43:15

out all the time and they're all best

43:18

friends and like I always say it's like

43:20

the Beatles and help they go to their

43:22

apartment and they all open their four doors

43:24

and they walk in their apartments but it's

43:27

all one big giant apartment that's what you

43:29

thought and the scorpions doing these choreographed ridiculous

43:31

things it just makes them so much cooler

43:33

like fuck man look at this crowd yeah

43:36

packed arena I mean checking all the boxes

43:38

of what you want to aspire to as

43:40

a rock musician. I can vouch for it

43:43

and that they do hang out because Mathias,

43:45

Klaus, and Rudolph were at the cheesecake factory

43:47

hanging out together. In Hamel, in downtown Chicago,

43:49

by the Hancock building. is the

43:52

time you cross the

43:54

street with Paul Stanley

43:56

no it's a different

43:58

I same same corner

44:01

you can meet Paul

44:03

Stanley and you can

44:05

see the Scorpions eating

44:07

at the Cheesecake Cafe

44:20

that was great would you

44:22

see Charlie explain you just

44:24

saw I used to the

44:26

drummer grab drumsticks that are

44:28

enormous and he broke them

44:30

with his damn hat and

44:33

it did not look fun

44:35

it looked actually great it

44:37

was not like like it

44:39

looked badass somehow giant hit

44:41

drumsticks that he breaks over

44:43

his head and it probably

44:46

throws them in the crowd what

44:55

was that a Bon

44:57

Jovi video where he

44:59

throws a stick up

45:01

in the air and

45:03

about 20 of them

45:05

fall down on him

45:07

yeah yeah bad medicine

45:09

oh yeah can I

45:12

just say do the

45:14

scurfs have now introduced

45:16

another element to their

45:18

rockstar amazingness private jets

45:20

that's now into the

45:22

equation women signing boobs

45:24

knowing smiles and fucking

45:26

amazing the crew apparently

45:28

yeah the old I'm

45:30

gonna kick your inside

45:32

knees you're walking see

45:34

a buckle a Gerald

45:36

Ford oh my just

45:38

for the record this

45:40

is the first time

45:42

ever I watched this

45:44

video okay yeah you're

45:46

seeing all the delights

45:49

yeah so this is

45:51

real surprising I feel

45:53

like it's almost like

45:55

a semiotic thing because

45:57

we're like damn looking

45:59

fucking Charlie I speak

46:01

really shitty Spanish we

46:03

always have jokes symbiotic

46:05

and Charlie's bus so

46:07

symbiotic okay we're like

46:09

you know splitting everything

46:11

and getting all the info. Pirmaravas, you say

46:13

symbiotical. Because I know some really cool English

46:15

words, one that I never use is flamboyant.

46:17

Oh, there you go. But I started using

46:19

it as we started doing the tours. Yeah.

46:21

I said. This actually looks flamboyant. We should

46:23

do this. It's a good thing we save

46:26

the AP classes till after lunch. Symbiological. Oh,

46:28

I want to point out about the crew

46:30

member there. Look at the ponies

46:32

he's wearing. Remember that shoe brand?

46:34

I had a fucking pair of

46:37

ponies back of the day. That

46:39

was a great brand. Not

47:05

sure what that was backstage, that was

47:07

fogging or smoking. Dry ice. Dry

47:09

ice, right? Yeah, two buckets of

47:12

dry ice. Yeah, the roadies are

47:14

taking the dry ice. But once

47:16

again, we saw, I don't know, another 10

47:18

chicks on the beach and bikinis.

47:20

I mean, it's just, they just

47:22

nailed this for whatever. If I'm

47:24

an alien coming down from the

47:26

planet Grimlock or Gendel, if you

47:28

wheel. And they said, show me

47:30

something from 1985 that makes me

47:33

realize how much fun. Like I'm

47:35

gonna blow up the planet if

47:37

you don't show me something cool

47:39

from 1985. Yeah, something cool from

47:42

1985 that people liked. This would

47:44

be, they like this music called

47:46

Heavy Metal. Oh really, show me

47:48

this video and this song. Boom,

47:50

done. And then at that point,

47:52

the aliens, like we're gonna add

47:54

on to your planet now? Yeah, right.

47:57

But now I have it paused. Is

47:59

this a nude man? on here. I

48:01

think it's just the way the

48:03

light is shine. He's wearing jeans.

48:05

He's running out to deal with

48:07

the dry ice I think. Rosemont

48:09

Horizon which is now called the

48:11

all-state arena. But when I made

48:14

my debut in August of 99

48:16

it was the Rosemont Horizon and

48:18

that's also where I saw the

48:20

scorpions where I told you guys

48:22

the place was packed. And it's

48:24

also where we met you in

48:26

person for the first time today

48:29

nine years ago. At the Rosemont

48:31

Horizon? Yeah. All-state? I thought it

48:33

was like somewhere in Hammond or

48:35

something. No, it was raw. But

48:37

did I not meet you at

48:39

another kind of smaller show? No,

48:41

no. So that picture that's from

48:43

nine years ago. Was it all

48:46

state? Yeah. Really? I would have

48:48

guessed it was like in Hammond

48:50

or champagne or something. No. Wow.

48:52

So just for people that don't

48:54

know, nine years ago exactly to

48:56

the day. That we're recording. That

48:58

we met each other for the

49:01

first time. That's great. Isn't that

49:03

cool? Yeah. So you mean your

49:05

debut? Like when they did the

49:07

countdown in the big screen? So

49:09

my countdown was there, but meeting

49:11

these guys for the first time

49:13

was also there nine years ago.

49:15

That's not. Yeah. To the dead.

49:18

The same day you turned on

49:20

AJ Styles for those who are

49:22

looking for a bookmark of what

49:24

happened that day. Why to AJ?

49:26

Yeah, it was leading into Russellmania.

49:28

Dumbest name ever that we got

49:30

shirts made because I said if

49:33

we get shirts made, people are

49:35

gonna, well, there's no way they're

49:37

breaking up now. You had me.

49:39

That's exactly right. We did it.

49:41

I was like, well, they're obviously

49:43

gonna, this isn't gonna last. Wait,

49:45

they have shirts. Yeah. Now in

49:47

the 80s, did you, did you

49:50

have any, like with rude gies?

49:52

in here, did you ever have

49:54

any of the Japanese graphic? Oh,

49:56

fuck, yeah, because of Rudy. I

49:58

had a couple Japanese, but see,

50:00

Puckel's always wore them, but to

50:02

me, that was like a version

50:04

of a modern, an 80s version

50:07

of a war on a star

50:09

shirt. Like, it just wasn't cool.

50:11

Rudolph war than they were cool.

50:13

And the other one I had

50:15

was with John Gallagher from a

50:17

raven, which I'll bust out one

50:19

of these days for you guys.

50:22

He had a black sleeveled a

50:24

black sleeveling bolt. And that was

50:26

a popular one and the Japanese

50:28

was, but the thing of the

50:30

coolest thing was, is that they

50:32

weren't sleeveless, they were cut a

50:34

little bit above the shoulder. Oh

50:36

yeah. So if you had a

50:39

good shoulder muscle, it would show

50:41

through. One last comment with that,

50:43

I was watching the Us Festival,

50:45

1983, with the scorpions. And my

50:47

dad came downstairs and was looking

50:49

at Rudolph Shankar. He said, he

50:51

must work out, he looks good,

50:54

he looks so good in those

50:56

shirts. I wanted to comment on

50:58

what a great chorus this is

51:00

what a great chorus this is

51:02

what a great kind of simple

51:04

hook it is but they're doing

51:06

so many Monkeys, Marx Brothers type

51:08

things that it's hard to... It's

51:11

hard to separate the audio from

51:13

the vision. Yeah, and it's it's

51:15

so quick. There's so many edits

51:17

in this. So right now Rudolph

51:19

is like looking like he's hanging

51:21

from a from a balcony above

51:23

Prado Budapest or the fuck they

51:26

are and he can barely hang

51:28

on and he's like gonna fall

51:30

off the balcony. But obviously there's

51:32

you know a step right below

51:34

that he's standing on. Is there

51:36

another band that looked like they

51:38

had this much fun? Even Kiss

51:40

back in the day? I don't

51:43

think so. I mean besides the

51:45

Kiss Heaven's on Fire video, there's

51:47

no band that looked like they

51:49

were having this much fun as

51:51

the scorpions. None of them. I

51:53

guess maybe... of those David Lee

51:55

Roth solo videos. But it's mostly

51:57

him having that much fun by

52:00

himself. It's not a gang of

52:02

guys. This is the whole band

52:04

as a gang having fun. And

52:06

you're right, because you know another

52:08

thing about this, and it's similar

52:10

to what, especially Paul in the

52:12

80s, they understand the cheesiness of

52:15

rock and roll. Like, you know,

52:17

these guys don't give a fuck

52:19

if you like it or don't

52:21

like it. Like, hey, I'm gonna

52:23

pretend to hang on to this

52:25

balcony. and I'll fall like Motley

52:27

crew would never do this because

52:29

it's too much heavy we must

52:32

be heavy and Skorps didn't care

52:34

tongue-in-cheek, right? Well smoking in the

52:36

boys room came close. Good call,

52:38

good call, but I get your

52:40

point though. But at this point

52:42

in time, crew probably learned from

52:44

scorpions. This is shout of the

52:47

devil, right? This is 84, 85.

52:49

So I just think that, you

52:51

know, Germans are not the funnest

52:53

of people, shall we say. scorpions

52:55

are. But they're giving like all

52:57

the good vibes here. Yeah. It's

52:59

like they're being like bad-assers because

53:01

they are, but at the same

53:04

time they put these parts where

53:06

they're like partying and stuff. It's

53:08

like that movie where Tom Hanks

53:10

is like in a bachelor party

53:12

or something or porkies or those

53:14

80s movies. What do you think

53:16

Chris? Yeah, I mean, it's, again,

53:19

it's checking all the boxes of

53:21

why you would want to be

53:23

in a band. Right. Be great

53:25

at your instrument, packed arenas, and

53:27

indulging and for pleasures and frivoling

53:29

and frivolity that life has to

53:31

offer. I also traveling the world,

53:33

like I said, I don't know

53:36

where they are right now, but

53:38

it's, it could be Peru, like

53:40

it could be South America, but

53:42

it could be South America, but

53:44

it's just the way that it

53:46

could be, I want to go

53:48

there. Yeah, I want to go

53:50

to that exact place and do

53:53

a tick-talk for glitcho. And do

53:55

I mean, fuck, it's one chick after

54:40

another. Oh yeah. You've got, you

54:42

know, tanned bots on the, uh,

54:44

on the beach. Go back and

54:46

watch, look at Klaus's reaction to

54:48

the flammago. He's like, this is

54:50

the greatest thing I've ever seen.

54:53

And by the way, you're looking

54:55

at Talk Dirty to Me video

54:57

with all the chicks on stage.

54:59

This comes right from... this scorpions

55:01

and every steel panther 17 girls

55:03

at once or whatever comes right

55:06

from this video another another video

55:08

that was like that we you mentioned

55:10

a bit from it earlier bad medicine

55:12

yeah this is the first one of

55:14

this the stick was that everybody there

55:17

was filming something and they took some

55:19

of it but they ended up having

55:21

all the chicks on stage Bon Jovi

55:23

kind of fits that for a while

55:25

that the band was you know looked

55:28

like they were having a great

55:30

time being envious of what they

55:32

were doing. But look at Klaus's

55:34

reaction to the belly dads or

55:37

he's like we don't have this

55:39

in Germany. And look at Flud's

55:41

book holds at the back just

55:43

kind of trying to get in the

55:45

shot. That's amazing. You've

55:48

got a rewinded debate. Hold on.

55:50

So right after close in the flamenco

55:52

dancer, Rarebell shows up at the arena,

55:54

gets out of his limo, but only

55:57

after the hot fucking chick gets out

55:59

first. Yeah. And

56:03

that was by any reasonable assumption that was

56:05

the second take of that shot. Take number

56:07

one, his pants were down around his ankles.

56:10

And he was still stepping out of the

56:12

limo like that. And it's like, Herman, let's

56:14

try that again, pull your pants. I just

56:16

read something at Herman there, you know, he's

56:19

in the news right now, because he did

56:21

some new solo record, which is probably about

56:23

as well received as Herman, is a German,

56:25

this is a new solo record, which is

56:28

probably about as well received as Herman, is

56:30

a German, is a German, is a German,

56:32

and he's a new solo record, which is

56:34

probably about as well received as well received

56:37

as Herman, as her as Herman, as Herman,

56:39

as Herman, as Herman, as Herman, as Herman,

56:41

as Herman, as Herman, as Herman, as Herman,

56:43

as Herman, as Herman, as Herman, as Herman,

56:46

as a, as a, as a, as a,

56:48

as a, as a, as, as a, as

56:50

a, as, as, as, as, as, as, as,

56:52

as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as,

56:55

as, as My back was all scratched because

56:57

she scraped it when we were love making.

56:59

I'm like, who uses the term love making?

57:01

Pretty great. Oh, you know, he's trying to,

57:04

trying to be a jettle, but about it.

57:06

Well, yeah. And now we have another chicken,

57:08

a bikini using the water of the ocean

57:10

and whatever exotic locale they are in. Like,

57:13

fuck, man. Looks like the Dells, I'm not

57:15

sure. And the best thing is these chicks

57:17

probably don't even know what the scorpions are.

57:19

They just said go to the beach get

57:22

some film a bunch of chicks and bikinis

57:24

And once again perception is reality. Yeah, I

57:26

just realized that right now 40 years later

57:28

These girls probably don't even know they're on

57:31

this video. This might just be a tourism

57:33

video from this country that they just cut

57:35

scenes from has nothing to do with them.

57:37

And by the way this is a Rudy

57:40

Klaus joint no rarebells not involved So

57:55

this portion I'm gonna nerd out

57:57

with Charles here a little bit

57:59

from a guitar player standpoint so

58:01

it's one of the buzzwords you

58:04

I'm sure you know this of

58:06

guitar nerds is tone like the

58:08

sound of your guitar absolutely how

58:10

fucking great to those chord sound

58:13

in this section here huge it's

58:15

amazing because it's like 1985 and

58:17

to get that tone that reverb

58:19

that ambience it sounds so like

58:22

so hard but at the same

58:24

time it's kind of ethereal for

58:26

moments when they do the audio

58:28

it sounds like a big arena

58:31

yeah you're right and that's why

58:33

I like the fact they use

58:35

the live version of the song

58:37

from worldwide live for this because

58:40

it makes it sound so much

58:42

bigger because it's in the arena

58:44

right you know and those recordings

58:47

were like you know not like

58:49

now that different is like so

58:51

They pull up the fucking Eddie

58:53

Kramer pulls up in his in

58:56

his soundtrack outside the arena and

58:58

dials it in right? It's like

59:00

you cannot be near the mics.

59:02

It's nothing is like straight to

59:05

connect it to it. If you

59:07

fart, it's gonna sound there, right?

59:09

Chances are based on how much

59:11

they're clowning around. I'm guessing there

59:14

was a lot of that. And

59:16

also to buckholes, floods block buckholes,

59:18

wearing the leather pants where there's

59:20

still a little bit too short,

59:23

never figured it out. Well, he's

59:25

a tall guy. Just couldn't get

59:27

the he can't buckholes can't buy

59:29

clothes off the rack established that

59:32

both because of his his body

59:34

type and because he's in the

59:36

fucking scorpions No one buys things

59:38

off the rack. But that's the

59:41

other thing you're in the scorpions

59:43

hire a tailor get some fucking

59:45

pants You know floor raspies and

59:47

whoever her name is was making

59:50

right exactly but they but the

59:52

but the guitar tones of scorpions

59:54

are as good as we're ever

59:57

laid down in this type of

59:59

music. Coming up to the solo

1:00:01

on that note, two things. One,

1:00:03

I love the rhythm part behind

1:00:05

the solo. Two, I love the

1:00:08

solo, but there's a little twist

1:00:10

on the solo, which I'm not

1:00:12

gonna spoil for you guys. Here

1:00:33

we go. I'll just say

1:00:35

here we go. It'd

1:00:56

be remiss if we didn't point out

1:00:58

one of Andy's absolute pet peeves. The

1:01:00

singer with the Tambury and he's not

1:01:02

a fan of that. Well, Klao's also

1:01:05

will break out the cowbell in moments

1:01:07

notice as well. But did you notice

1:01:09

the solo? It's in two parts and

1:01:11

the first part that we just saw

1:01:14

was Rudolph Shankoff. Yeah. Rudolph taking a

1:01:16

rare solo in the scorpions and

1:01:18

the Mathias gets the second one.

1:01:20

Yeah, playing sort of the straight,

1:01:23

straighter, melodic line before the

1:01:25

flashier. And the rhythm of his

1:01:27

band, did, did, did, did, did,

1:01:29

did, did, did, did, did, did,

1:01:31

did, did, did, did, did, did,

1:01:33

did, did, did, did, did, did,

1:01:35

did, did, did, I always love

1:01:37

that, but it just to me,

1:01:39

was like, and you guys know

1:01:41

this, this, the guitar players here,

1:01:43

where rich said this, maybe

1:01:45

cochase or something like this.

1:01:48

And he's playing a solo,

1:01:50

but the rhythm solo is

1:01:52

that riff from cochies. Bownow,

1:01:54

bannow, you cannot solo over top

1:01:56

of a solo. Yeah. Same thing with

1:01:58

Eddie Van Halen and B. where

1:02:00

they wanted him to solo over,

1:02:02

bound, now, now, now, now, bound,

1:02:04

he's like, you can't soul over

1:02:07

that. So Eddie wrote, and whatever

1:02:09

the riff is, it's like, band,

1:02:11

down, down, down, down, down, down,

1:02:13

down, now, now, you can soul

1:02:16

over that. And I always love

1:02:18

the rhythm part in this song,

1:02:20

because it lends itself to writing

1:02:22

a fucking great solo over it.

1:02:25

It is. You need a good

1:02:27

chord progression to. Right. Play a

1:02:29

nice epic solo over it. One

1:02:31

thing leads to the other. Like

1:02:34

you said, if you're trying to

1:02:36

solo over a riff, which is

1:02:38

essentially another solo. And that's a

1:02:40

rage against the machine standard. You

1:02:42

can't fucking solo over those riffs.

1:02:45

Yeah, and he's also not playing

1:02:47

conventional solos. He's doing wammy, pedal,

1:02:49

pitch shifter, shit. Do yourself a

1:02:51

favor and have a fucking rhythm

1:02:54

track behind it. Oh, sure, yeah.

1:02:56

You know, Tom Morello, you've been

1:02:58

doing it wrong all this time.

1:03:00

You should be listening to us.

1:03:03

You should be, you know, sick

1:03:05

of that guy. But, um, the

1:03:07

musical director of the Ozzy thing,

1:03:09

so he doesn't fucking call me.

1:03:12

Fuck you. Rudy Sarsal wants me

1:03:14

to sing. Maybe I'll call Tom

1:03:16

Morello. There's your headline. Yeah, linking

1:03:18

comments. Right, exactly. He gets it.

1:03:21

He gets it. Nick, what he

1:03:23

got? Look at what he wants.

1:03:25

Oh, no, I was going to

1:03:27

say, he did the solo for

1:03:30

that, that Def Leppard song. Was

1:03:32

it 73, I think it was

1:03:34

called? Rela did? Wow. And I

1:03:36

have to say, it's a pretty,

1:03:39

it's a good player. It's a

1:03:41

great lead for for what, where

1:03:43

he played it, where he played

1:03:45

it in the song. Can I

1:03:48

ask you. Can I ask you.

1:03:50

A question at this point, why

1:03:52

in the fuck would Deaf Leopard,

1:03:54

who has Phil Colin and Vivian

1:03:57

Campbell in the band, call Tom

1:03:59

Morello Diasolo? Tom Morello. Guess on

1:04:01

everything. Oh my god. Yeah, he's

1:04:03

he's like one notch below. Groll

1:04:05

in terms of the presence. You

1:04:08

know, you know, I want to

1:04:10

see guest solo on a deflected

1:04:12

record Vivian fucking Campbell. You know

1:04:14

why? Because he's never sold a

1:04:17

defleppard record. Right. Turn it loose

1:04:19

like he did in D.O. Just

1:04:21

let her rip for once. He

1:04:23

just sort of does the Steve

1:04:26

Clark parts and. No, but you're

1:04:28

one of the greatest guitar players

1:04:30

of all time. You know, it's

1:04:32

like having a $1 million check

1:04:35

and no way to cash it.

1:04:37

I love that word. We have

1:04:39

this dynamic here with Chris that

1:04:41

when we first started talking on

1:04:44

tour, we actually got to this

1:04:46

point that we both like this

1:04:48

movie, The Decline of the Western

1:04:50

Civilization, The Metal Years. Yeah, and

1:04:53

there are like a lot of

1:04:55

cool elements there like the wet

1:04:57

cherry dude or like seduce from

1:04:59

Detroit, right? That are our favorite

1:05:02

seduce seduce and it's like we

1:05:04

watch always that like that part

1:05:06

where Odin comes out, right? And

1:05:08

I'm always like telling that it's

1:05:11

one of the craziest things. It's

1:05:13

not even the Chris Holmes part

1:05:15

of the pool. It's like Odin.

1:05:17

They're absolutely delusional. The Odin part

1:05:19

might as well be sponged. Final

1:05:22

taps. Yeah, because it's so ridiculous.

1:05:24

Look at this guy. All the

1:05:26

cutie girls love him so much.

1:05:28

The Ben Gazari is just fucking,

1:05:31

Randy Odin. And then, and it's,

1:05:33

everything about it is hilarious and

1:05:35

weird, even the way the guy

1:05:37

gets the chant going instead of

1:05:40

saying, Odin. Odin. Oh, he says

1:05:42

it really awkward. Along with the

1:05:44

girl who just wants to make

1:05:46

great actress sing. Odin. That's Ben

1:05:49

Gazari, who was the. owner and

1:05:51

founder of Gazare, he's the famous

1:05:53

club. So he's the guy old

1:05:55

mafia guy, Odin, Odin. He says

1:05:58

it so awkwardly. Yeah. It just.

1:06:00

Everything about that particular scene is

1:06:02

so strange and so awkward. Now

1:06:04

that we're watching this, probably Aaron

1:06:06

Samson was watching this clip and

1:06:09

said, I want to make a

1:06:11

band and do this. Aaron Samson?

1:06:13

Aaron Samson? Aaron Samson? You guys,

1:06:15

Sean Dune, Ken. And this is

1:06:17

why I love pot of Thunder.

1:06:19

We can go from learning about

1:06:22

biology and geography to talk about

1:06:24

Aaron Samson, the base player of

1:06:26

Odin. Yeah, one of the most

1:06:28

feminine looking guy from that era,

1:06:30

even for that era. Even more so

1:06:33

than Brett Muskrat? Yeah, with Brett Muskat

1:06:35

and Kimp here in a, they're in

1:06:37

a competition right now. At the whiskey!

1:06:40

Tell them the quick story. We played

1:06:42

the whiskey with quarantino with Kenti's air

1:06:44

drummer. We were about to play the

1:06:47

whiskey and we were like at the

1:06:49

like at the dressing room, the green

1:06:51

room and there's like this huge like,

1:06:53

like, like this picture of faster

1:06:56

Pussy cat. Right? And I'm

1:06:58

like, about drink coffee and

1:07:00

can't, or drummer comes and

1:07:02

just points at this picture

1:07:04

and tells me, that's a

1:07:07

feminine looking motherfucker. And

1:07:09

that was brand musket.

1:07:11

With this cash relaxing,

1:07:13

that's a feminine looking

1:07:15

motherfucker. That's a family

1:07:17

looking, you saw him

1:07:19

a bitch. Yep, he's

1:07:21

right. And he got

1:07:24

a sip of

1:07:26

coffee and told

1:07:28

me. Even for

1:07:30

that era. Yeah,

1:07:32

he was

1:07:35

next level

1:07:38

on this.

1:07:41

All right,

1:07:44

let's go

1:07:46

back to

1:07:49

the good

1:07:52

solo here.

1:07:55

Okay, once again for all those watching

1:07:58

we saw roadies playing a jumping game.

1:08:00

We saw more chicks running, we

1:08:02

saw Clouse throw a tambourine somewhere

1:08:04

like Prince throwing the guitar at

1:08:06

the George Harrison induction, where did

1:08:08

it go? And then we see

1:08:10

Rudolph who gets arrested by the

1:08:12

police de Paco. And actually Paco

1:08:15

was very friendly. We got pulled

1:08:17

over last night in Marion Illinois

1:08:19

and I told Charlie after that

1:08:21

the cop was my friend Paco.

1:08:23

So Paco the cop here at

1:08:25

Rosemont allows Rudolph Shanker to take

1:08:27

off his helmet and put it

1:08:29

on. That's not, that's not good.

1:08:31

I've never met a police officer

1:08:33

that would be friendly enough to

1:08:36

do something. To allow someone to,

1:08:38

even if, even if it's a

1:08:40

guy's in a band, I have

1:08:42

a feeling. I was going to

1:08:44

say it's because you were never

1:08:46

in the scorpions. But it's like

1:08:48

it's a weird thing because that's

1:08:50

not like a pilot, like a

1:08:52

member of the crew and the

1:08:54

plane. That's a cop. Yeah, I

1:08:57

mean, let me take your gun.

1:08:59

That's basically a salt taking his

1:09:01

helmet off. Yeah, that's if he

1:09:03

wanted it to be. Once again,

1:09:05

that shows the power of the

1:09:07

scorpions in 1985. Yeah, they could

1:09:09

go, this is the scorpions. He

1:09:11

wants to take your helmet off,

1:09:13

because you know they asked permission

1:09:15

first, especially on camera. That guy

1:09:18

could have been run up by

1:09:20

his boss. Yeah, for sure. He

1:09:22

could have just clubbed him too.

1:09:24

By the commissioner, yeah. He could

1:09:26

have clubbed him. Clubed him. I

1:09:28

got arrested for assaulting a police

1:09:30

officer. I did less than that,

1:09:32

but I was in the flying

1:09:34

errands, not the scorpion, so big

1:09:36

difference. What did you do to

1:09:39

get arrested? My friend was wrestling

1:09:41

with a police officer. Really? And

1:09:43

I touched his shoulder and said,

1:09:45

chill out man. And he said,

1:09:47

you just assaulted a police officer.

1:09:49

Oh no. And I said, come

1:09:51

on. Then he broke your tail

1:09:53

light and who knows? Wow, the

1:09:55

way you went. Any other sort

1:09:57

of corrupt activity. And that was

1:10:00

at the height of your acting

1:10:02

career too. Just a beard in

1:10:04

Chicago Hope? What town was that?

1:10:06

Was that Calumet City or? It

1:10:08

was Sheraville. Oh, okay. But even

1:10:10

they knew, like, they just dropped

1:10:12

everything. It wasn't a real big

1:10:14

deal. It sucks at the moment.

1:10:16

Yeah, in the moment. But he

1:10:18

was going to make an example.

1:10:21

Right. Even when we got pulled

1:10:23

over last night and Mary-on, like,

1:10:25

we're not doing anything wrong, but

1:10:27

we didn't have the headlights put

1:10:29

on properly, because we're up red

1:10:31

cars nowadays. There's so much technology.

1:10:33

Which one do you push? Which

1:10:35

one do you push? You know

1:10:37

what I mean? Like you never

1:10:39

know with cops. And that's where

1:10:42

I was like as soon as

1:10:44

you see that flashing light, it's

1:10:46

scary. Yeah. And Rudolph obviously didn't

1:10:48

give a fuck. Come on California,

1:10:50

could have been in the studio

1:10:52

version and it would have worked.

1:10:54

It sounded so good there. I

1:10:56

will also say that if you

1:10:58

come from my era, we all

1:11:00

know that California! Like, you could

1:11:03

be in Winnipeg, Manitoba when he

1:11:05

yells at California, that's part of

1:11:07

the song. I don't care where

1:11:09

you are. You must yell out

1:11:11

California at this point in time.

1:11:13

Where do you think they were?

1:11:15

I guess they were all over

1:11:17

California. They probably did. This was

1:11:19

like one of those things that

1:11:21

they filmed in the, they filmed

1:11:24

and recorded in Long Beach, I

1:11:26

know. Like Iron Maiden. It was

1:11:28

in the States, yeah. So I

1:11:30

think that must have been a

1:11:32

place to record at that time.

1:11:34

They must have had it set

1:11:36

up, right? Yeah, because Maiden did

1:11:38

it, I think Skorps did it,

1:11:40

like multiple nights. Long Beach Arena,

1:11:42

a screen for me, Long Beach.

1:11:45

Yeah, classic function. That's another one,

1:11:47

wasn't another one, wasn't one, wasn't,

1:11:49

wasn't, wasn't, wasn't, wasn't, wasn't, wasn't,

1:11:51

wasn't, wasn't just. You interject that

1:11:53

into all maiden songs, scream for

1:11:55

me long beech. And interject California

1:11:57

into every scorpion song, yeah. That's

1:11:59

probably what inspired the chili peppers

1:12:01

to write every other fucking song

1:12:03

about California. Yeah. I don't see

1:12:06

them being big scorpions fans, but

1:12:08

maybe I'm wrong. What, Chad Smith?

1:12:10

Yeah, Chad Smith? I don't see

1:12:12

Anthony Keats being a big scorpions

1:12:14

fan. I mean, Flea probably doesn't

1:12:16

even know the scorpions. And plus,

1:12:18

the scorpions would kill fleas at

1:12:20

any point in time. Chad Smith

1:12:22

is like Kent's, Kenti from Guantanamo.

1:12:24

He plays the peppers, but he's

1:12:27

a fucking rock guy. Well, he's

1:12:29

originally from Detroit. The local Hard

1:12:31

Rock bands in Detroit when I

1:12:33

was in high school were seduce.

1:12:36

Wow. The Almighty Strut. I think

1:12:38

their name was just Strut, but

1:12:40

they called themselves the Almighty

1:12:42

Strut. You know? Little, little

1:12:45

burrado there. And then Toby

1:12:47

Red. That's the band, Shad

1:12:49

Smith, was in. No kidding.

1:12:51

Wow. So you know, you

1:12:53

come from Detroit, you're a

1:12:55

rocker. I'm going to tell

1:12:57

Chad, Toby Red. Toby Red.

1:12:59

But you knew seduce as well.

1:13:01

Yeah, they were the big three

1:13:03

of the Detroit local hard rock

1:13:05

bands. They're one of the bands

1:13:07

that comes across the best and

1:13:09

decline of the Western civilization. I

1:13:11

think they're very likable. They're like

1:13:13

a power trio, right? Yeah. Yeah.

1:13:16

But they're Midwestern guys. Detroit is

1:13:18

a different mindset, you know. You

1:13:20

can me rocker. Hopefully someday they'll

1:13:22

reunite so we can hear crash

1:13:24

landing live. Nice. Yeah. Stranger stranger

1:13:26

things have happened, but yeah. That's why

1:13:28

it was like when that movie came

1:13:30

out and seduces in it and you

1:13:32

see him in the credit. You're like,

1:13:34

holy shit, seduces in this movie. And

1:13:36

they literally say in the movie, we're

1:13:38

seduced from Detroit. Actually I have that

1:13:40

like so printed in my mind from

1:13:43

that movie seduced from Detroit and they're

1:13:45

like in in their car like going

1:13:47

you know they're talking about their day

1:13:49

jobs. Hey listen you pick up some

1:13:51

chick at a show you know she's

1:13:53

been with every rockster from this guy

1:13:55

on down it's not a conquest it's just

1:13:57

another notch the belt or whatever he says.

1:14:00

But I like the song,

1:14:02

but maybe they were not

1:14:04

that big because they needed

1:14:06

probably a front man. There's

1:14:08

seduce from Detroit, that's all

1:14:10

that matters. And that's the

1:14:12

ready time we say their

1:14:14

name, it's not ever seduce,

1:14:16

it's seduce from Detroit. Did

1:14:18

they move to Los Angeles

1:14:20

to try to make it?

1:14:22

Yeah, I think at that

1:14:25

point. At that point. Yeah,

1:14:27

okay. But when I was

1:14:29

in high school, they were.

1:14:31

How about Halloween? Detroit band?

1:14:33

Yeah, I remember that. Yeah,

1:14:35

they had a little bit

1:14:37

of steam, kind of evil

1:14:39

Alice Cooper's type shock rock

1:14:41

stuff. Yeah, a little bit.

1:14:43

Yeah, I mean... I found

1:14:45

their album, and I just

1:14:48

remember they're from Detroit, they

1:14:50

play like whatever the venue

1:14:52

in Detroit was, it's not

1:14:54

Harpo's, but the Detroit version

1:14:56

of that. There's not a

1:14:58

Harpo's in Detroit. That's the

1:15:00

one. Recorded live at Harpo's.

1:15:02

Yeah. Yeah, next time you

1:15:04

see Chad Smith just say

1:15:06

Toby read text I'll text

1:15:08

them at the end of

1:15:10

the show a name dropper.

1:15:13

Oh, yeah He says always

1:15:15

yearning. Yeah. I always thought

1:15:17

he said, oh, what's your

1:15:19

name? Like he was like

1:15:21

yelling out of a limo

1:15:23

at some girl on the

1:15:25

street. They're both equally good,

1:15:27

I would say. If we

1:15:29

get, if I get my

1:15:31

wish and we put this

1:15:33

into the Fuzzy set list

1:15:36

for the 25 anniversary, I'm

1:15:38

gonna say that. Ah, what's

1:15:40

your name? Love

1:16:07

how they came out of that

1:16:09

breakdown just that slow build back

1:16:11

up into the song and you

1:16:13

guys did a couple of those

1:16:15

style breakdowns in your set tonight

1:16:17

Which I know the choreography or

1:16:19

no the just the kick drum

1:16:21

in the hand clapping and getting

1:16:23

the people All night's a good

1:16:25

one for that exactly you threw

1:16:27

that in which is cool. I

1:16:30

like that arrangement. I also love

1:16:32

to visually once again. We know

1:16:34

we're talking audio as well There's

1:16:36

so much energy there where you

1:16:38

see the, we always bug buckles

1:16:40

and bag on it, but he's

1:16:42

clapping and then Klaus is running

1:16:44

backwards and it just looks so

1:16:46

cool. Yeah. And then right when

1:16:48

it kicks back in, both Rudolph

1:16:50

and Mathias jump at the same

1:16:52

time, like this energy is there,

1:16:54

like once again. You can't find

1:16:56

a better live band at this

1:16:58

point in time. You can throw

1:17:00

a kiss at me, you can

1:17:02

throw a Van Halen at me,

1:17:04

you can throw Aussie. Scorpions were

1:17:06

the best. And if anybody has

1:17:08

any questions about that, watch the

1:17:10

US Festival. The most famous gig

1:17:12

for this era of that time

1:17:15

frame. Scorpions wiped the fucking floor

1:17:17

with Van Halen. Oh, they did.

1:17:19

They did. They did, man. And

1:17:21

they did it a second time

1:17:23

on the Monsters's Rock. Wow. bills

1:17:25

us festival monsters Iraq they were

1:17:27

the pros I bet you was

1:17:29

scorpions versus Metallica on that one

1:17:31

probably because Metallica was just you

1:17:33

know on the on the rise

1:17:35

yeah and full energy and didn't

1:17:37

give a fuck right but still

1:17:39

scorpions or just the pinnacle of

1:17:41

professionalism and and once you we're

1:17:43

talking about catching the chicks and

1:17:45

the private jets and all stuff.

1:17:47

We just caught the energy of

1:17:49

the scorpions in this video. This

1:17:51

is such a great video for

1:17:53

this band for this time frame.

1:17:55

I can't think of another video

1:17:57

with the exception. I said all

1:18:00

the time. Heaven's on fire was

1:18:02

such a great. uh... example of

1:18:04

the this band is having so

1:18:06

much fun this band is crushing

1:18:08

it and having fun it's just

1:18:10

every box is checked Do

1:18:33

you have a bag of groceries? I

1:18:35

mean, what was he doing? He was

1:18:37

staying at the fucking embassy sweets. He

1:18:39

was staying at the, what is the

1:18:42

Belvedere where we, the Hobart, comfort him

1:18:44

with the sickly table in the oven.

1:18:46

Oven. That's why he's running back to

1:18:49

the room. He didn't want the parishables

1:18:51

to go back. Gagnes looks like a

1:18:53

praying mantis. He's like nine feet tall.

1:18:56

And his legs are like six feet

1:18:58

tall. Yeah. I didn't realize that until

1:19:00

this video. He has to stand like

1:19:02

when we were in WDB there was

1:19:05

a guy called Tom Phillips who's an

1:19:07

interviewer and he was taller than all

1:19:09

the guys so he had to stand

1:19:12

with his legs spread so he'd be

1:19:14

shorter than the guys that's what buckles

1:19:16

do and to be able to sing

1:19:19

in the microphone stand. It's to keep

1:19:21

this light. It's maximum height and thrusts

1:19:23

growing. We've got this pulled up to

1:19:25

six feet dude you got to spread

1:19:28

your legs more. There's no much further

1:19:30

we can get. And this time period,

1:19:32

very important as far as the presentation

1:19:35

goes, is cool looking guitars. And they

1:19:37

definitely had that. They were the stripes,

1:19:39

like that black and white stripe that

1:19:42

he had. And then Rudolph had the

1:19:44

flying V. Right. That was, I mean,

1:19:46

back in that time, you had to

1:19:48

have a cool looking guitar, right? If

1:19:51

you came up with a strap, that's

1:19:53

fine. But if you had. a George

1:19:55

Lynch skull guitar that's even better. Yeah,

1:19:58

well to me me though, the Mathias

1:20:00

Jazz, that's the Gibson Explorer, right? The

1:20:02

other guy that had the Gibson Explorer

1:20:05

a few years afterwards, James Headfield. And

1:20:07

I was like, those are the only

1:20:09

two guys I can remember, and as

1:20:12

soon as Headfield had that guitar, I

1:20:14

remember, oh, that's some Mathias Jobs guitar.

1:20:16

Except for James, it says, eat, fuck,

1:20:18

written on the side. Or more beer,

1:20:21

yeah. There was a little detail here

1:20:23

that. The whole video, it's been about

1:20:25

chicks in the audience, right? Like the

1:20:28

whole video. But there was this dude

1:20:30

singing his ass off. Wow. This dude,

1:20:32

like, big city. He was having such

1:20:35

a great time. And I- They had

1:20:37

to make an exception for him. But

1:20:39

that guy in the video. But once

1:20:41

again, this is the band that every

1:20:44

guy wanted to be them and every

1:20:46

girl wanted to be with them. Well,

1:20:48

and just what a great commercial this

1:20:51

is for going to see them on

1:20:53

tour. Great call. commercial you can't you

1:20:55

can't nail it any better than that

1:20:58

yeah or a trailer you know how

1:21:00

do you said that phrase that you

1:21:02

say today that quote that perception is

1:21:04

reality perception is reality this is one

1:21:07

of those moments that yeah like I

1:21:09

said filming those chicks on the beach

1:21:11

which like I said right now tonight

1:21:14

is when I realized they didn't even

1:21:16

go to the show yeah they didn't

1:21:18

knew nothing but the scorpions Up until

1:21:21

today, I thought, oh yeah, fuck, they

1:21:23

just probably went to the show and

1:21:25

went to the beach and they're filming

1:21:27

all these, like, no, there's no, none

1:21:30

of these chicks except for the ones

1:21:32

on stage probably had any idea who

1:21:34

these guys were, the flamenco dancer, any

1:21:37

of these chicks, perception is reality. Mm-hmm.

1:21:39

I hope Klaus married that flamenco dancer,

1:21:41

they, they... look so good together. Yeah,

1:21:44

you look so happy to do it.

1:21:46

There's so much chemistry. He likes a

1:21:48

lot of this is the cultural dancers,

1:21:51

right? The cultural dancers. Anico dancer. Very

1:21:53

exotic to this Eastern Bloc guy who,

1:21:55

you know, sturdy German Polish women is

1:21:57

what he's used to. He sees this

1:22:00

Latin woman. doing what Latin women do,

1:22:02

he just, he thinks he's on another

1:22:04

planet, you know. It's like, this is

1:22:07

great, I want more of this. I

1:22:09

gotta make a question here, Sorbit, was

1:22:11

out of the cellar before this? Yeah, 83.

1:22:13

So, 84 was out of the cellar, so

1:22:16

they, so yeah, Ellis cellar and love

1:22:18

the first thing, we're around the same

1:22:20

time. Okay, Rat, Rat, never had a

1:22:23

fucking live record like this, nor could

1:22:25

they stand up at the Scorps. Right.

1:22:27

I think when this album came out

1:22:30

as right around one invasion of

1:22:32

your privacy came out. Yeah,

1:22:34

yeah, that's true. It reminds me

1:22:36

a little bit of this behind

1:22:38

the music episode with Rat. Right?

1:22:41

That they have like lots of

1:22:43

these little scenes where they're are

1:22:45

partying and they're doing the the

1:22:47

private jets. They're doing the the

1:22:50

arena shows and everything. Yes. The

1:22:52

gold that some girls go and

1:22:54

give them the record and there's

1:22:56

like Robin Cronin Man video. Yes.

1:22:59

And but however I gotta say

1:23:01

this like it's totally different from

1:23:03

that video and from the

1:23:06

behind music scenes here I

1:23:08

see like more like teamwork

1:23:10

like everybody's like camaraderie I

1:23:13

don't know why the other

1:23:15

thing was like more individuals

1:23:17

well as we talked about

1:23:19

with the monsters of rock

1:23:22

and us festival just

1:23:24

the pinnacle of professionalism

1:23:26

the scorpions at this

1:23:28

time to this day

1:23:30

yeah just a an

1:23:32

incredible unit That just was

1:23:34

like next next level Beyond

1:23:36

what anybody else was doing at the

1:23:39

time and that includes the Van Halens of

1:23:41

the world and all of that stuff They

1:23:43

were they were at the top of the

1:23:45

heap and it came to that and then

1:23:47

you know You're getting that impression because

1:23:49

they're putting it out because they were

1:23:52

the best at it You know one

1:23:54

thing I thought of from a few seconds

1:23:56

ago when they showed Rudolph with

1:23:58

the groceries or whatever had was

1:24:00

a lot of videos when they would

1:24:02

have that you know that kind of

1:24:04

like b-roll footage where the band's just

1:24:06

doing something on tour the guys are

1:24:09

always rushing around and I remember when

1:24:11

I was younger I always thought that

1:24:13

was cool like they have stuff to

1:24:15

do you know like people people need

1:24:17

them to be places and they're busy

1:24:19

and like or they can't hang around

1:24:21

too long because they'll get mobbed yeah

1:24:23

yeah yeah so they gotta go as

1:24:25

quick as they can yeah and I'm

1:24:27

just standing there in the parking lot

1:24:29

whole thing no one bothers me. I

1:24:31

just remember thinking like oh that's cool

1:24:33

to be they they like they're in

1:24:36

demand yeah like yeah I just thought

1:24:38

I was always a cool thing and

1:24:40

pretty much every one of those videos

1:24:42

where there's some kind of road thing

1:24:44

you see the guys like rushing and

1:24:46

they take a quick second to mug

1:24:48

for the camera and you know they're

1:24:50

having a they only have like one

1:24:52

or two seconds but they'll goof around

1:24:54

for you that's this video in its

1:24:56

entirety for sure well you could all

1:24:58

you could trace that all the way

1:25:00

back to those Beatles movies where they're

1:25:03

being chased through the street you know

1:25:05

hard days night it's like these guys

1:25:07

these guys are in demand it's the

1:25:09

first fucking scene of hard days night

1:25:11

yeah and all it all traces back

1:25:13

1:25:43

legendary fun. So

1:25:58

we have We have the subtitles

1:26:01

on and that last line said

1:26:03

California you give me money. Well

1:26:05

he got to the the brass

1:26:08

tax of what was going on.

1:26:10

And then it ends with a

1:26:12

freeze frame shot of the thighs

1:26:15

jabs doing a fucking double leg

1:26:17

crescent scisser kick. Yeah. California give

1:26:19

me money. Well, that was it

1:26:22

for Big City Nights? It's time

1:26:24

to vote. Sweet surrender or kick

1:26:26

in the crotch. Chris Jay, you

1:26:29

brought this song to us today.

1:26:31

So how about you go first?

1:26:33

So if you like it, Charlie,

1:26:35

you say sweet surrender. If you

1:26:38

don't like it, you say kick

1:26:40

in the crotch. All right. Okay.

1:26:42

I mean, obviously, do I even

1:26:45

have to say, I didn't bring

1:26:47

this to the table for us

1:26:49

to bag on. I brought it

1:26:52

to the table because I knew

1:26:54

that we would all like it.

1:26:58

It's we surrender! Hell yes!

1:27:01

The epitome of 80s, the

1:27:03

epitome of the scorpions, one

1:27:05

of my all-time favorite bands

1:27:07

that still, as Steve Osley,

1:27:10

a little bit underrated people

1:27:12

and won't talk about the

1:27:14

scorpions as much as they

1:27:17

should. I still think that

1:27:19

to this day, the fact

1:27:21

they've never even been nominated

1:27:23

to go on the Rock

1:27:26

or Hall of Fame, if

1:27:28

you believe in that sort

1:27:30

of thing, it's fucking ridiculous.

1:27:33

I feel the scorpions could

1:27:35

release the same video today

1:27:37

and we would still all

1:27:40

buy it. Great band great

1:27:42

then fuck the videos on

1:27:44

what a great song Riff

1:27:46

chorus we talked about the

1:27:49

verse the solo I can't

1:27:51

think of anything that's not

1:27:53

better than this Around this

1:27:56

era for what we all

1:27:58

like about rock and roll

1:28:00

in my opinion Nick a

1:28:02

very sweet surrender Yeah, this

1:28:05

is The video is as

1:28:07

much fun as the song

1:28:09

is. Agreed. If you're just

1:28:12

listening to the song, it's

1:28:14

so, it's like got a

1:28:16

bouncy vibe to it. It's

1:28:18

such a, again, the chorus

1:28:21

is such a great hook

1:28:23

and so simple. And the

1:28:25

video matches with it perfectly.

1:28:28

It's not one of those

1:28:30

situations where it changes your

1:28:32

perception. Like if you hear

1:28:34

the song, you have the

1:28:37

sort of picture in your

1:28:39

mind. And the video really

1:28:41

nails it. It doesn't take

1:28:44

away or change anything. They

1:28:46

coincide perfectly. All right. Chris

1:28:48

L. Oh, Sweet Surrender for

1:28:50

sure. Yeah. Yeah, the live

1:28:53

version is definitely cool. And

1:28:55

the video of course. like

1:28:57

we said, checks all the

1:29:00

boxes of what you liked

1:29:02

about 80s hard rock, why

1:29:04

he was spired to be

1:29:06

in a band, it's all

1:29:09

self-contained in that video. I

1:29:11

will say, you know, the

1:29:13

original studio version of Love

1:29:16

at First Sing, definitely got

1:29:18

a lot of air play

1:29:20

in Detroit Rock Radio. It

1:29:22

was just one of those

1:29:25

songs that sounded so good

1:29:27

on FM radio, just the

1:29:29

production of it. Just jumped

1:29:32

out at you when it

1:29:34

came up on, on, you

1:29:36

know, listening to your rock

1:29:38

station, it came on, it

1:29:41

just captured your attention immediately.

1:29:43

So, it's a great, great

1:29:45

tune that embodies, like Jericho

1:29:48

said, everything we like about

1:29:50

this style of music. Charlie?

1:29:52

Switzerland. It's

1:29:56

like this obviously explains a lot

1:29:59

to me why the 80s were

1:30:01

like that. Because this was released

1:30:03

in 1985, right? I was born

1:30:06

in March 1985. So when I

1:30:08

said this about Aaron Samson and

1:30:10

Brent Musket and all these guys,

1:30:13

I was actually being serious. But

1:30:15

I was joking about the family

1:30:17

because I know if I shave

1:30:20

my goate, I'm going to look

1:30:22

like my sister. But I no

1:30:24

wonder why everybody was so excited

1:30:27

about it. It's like everything is

1:30:29

fun, everything sounds great, everybody looks

1:30:31

great and having like a good

1:30:33

time. Even the girls that are

1:30:36

the beach, they were having a

1:30:38

great time at the beach. They

1:30:40

were probably not scorpion fans, they

1:30:43

probably liked level 42. But in

1:30:45

1985 they were having a good

1:30:47

time. Absolutely, absolutely, so it makes

1:30:50

you happy to watch this video.

1:30:52

It does. It's like I want

1:30:54

to add this song to my

1:30:57

playlist and I want to listen

1:30:59

to listen to it. But not

1:31:01

watching the video because I'm going

1:31:04

to remember forever that California gave

1:31:06

me money. You're going to have

1:31:08

to say that if you're in

1:31:11

the Fuzzy set. You know I

1:31:13

will. Whatever city you're in. ALB?

1:31:15

You're the final guy. Yeah, that's

1:31:17

my turn. I'm giving in a

1:31:20

sweet surrender. Makes you smile, right?

1:31:22

Like it's just a good time.

1:31:24

It makes you feel good The

1:31:27

song itself anytime I hear that

1:31:29

I've I've watched this video probably

1:31:31

five or six times in my

1:31:34

life Not a ton, but I've

1:31:36

definitely watched it But I've listened

1:31:38

to this song hundreds of times

1:31:41

and even just the song, you

1:31:43

know, by itself Great song, you

1:31:45

know, great driving song. Yeah, yeah,

1:31:48

so but like you guys all

1:31:50

said this video is perfect as

1:31:52

far as like This is what

1:31:54

you aspire to be if you

1:31:57

want to be in a band.

1:31:59

If you like this kind of

1:32:01

music, this is what you want

1:32:04

the vibe to be like when

1:32:06

you go to a con. like

1:32:08

it's what you want to experience

1:32:11

in the crowd on the stage

1:32:13

whatever it is whatever in the

1:32:15

crew whatever part of like whatever

1:32:18

part of the rock and roll

1:32:20

experience you're in this video shows

1:32:22

how fun it could be so

1:32:25

perfect but guess what it happened

1:32:27

If this is a rock and

1:32:29

roll boner classic I'm gonna have

1:32:31

to explain this to Charlie's Charlie's

1:32:34

reaction It's so we talk about

1:32:36

this anytime we have a first-time

1:32:38

guest how All this stuff seems

1:32:41

so normal to us because we've

1:32:43

been doing it for so long.

1:32:45

It's like we don't even pay

1:32:48

attention to it when it's the

1:32:50

three of us or the four

1:32:52

of us or whatever. But like

1:32:55

we had Tom Warman on, we

1:32:57

have to explain Rock and Roll

1:32:59

Boner to Tom. It's just silly.

1:33:02

That's when there's a first time

1:33:04

guest. You almost, you feel self-conscious

1:33:06

about ridiculous. So how do we

1:33:09

do it when there's five of

1:33:11

us? I was just thinking that

1:33:13

rock and roll bone earth. Yeah,

1:33:15

we're gonna have to separate out

1:33:18

boner by syllable. So Charlie, this

1:33:20

is like now that the song

1:33:22

was unanimous, everybody liked it. Now

1:33:25

it goes to the final round,

1:33:27

where if everyone likes it again,

1:33:29

it goes to the classic like

1:33:32

all-time grates. And rock and roll

1:33:34

boner is how we do it.

1:33:36

So if you, everyone likes it,

1:33:39

Andy will say we're doing it.

1:33:41

Rock. and roll bone er so

1:33:43

that's how we do it yeah

1:33:46

and if you don't like it

1:33:48

what do you say just no

1:33:50

I'm not gonna say no bone

1:33:52

no boner okay he ready to

1:33:55

walk out at this point Charlie

1:33:57

he's like what's this is this

1:33:59

1:34:02

is this is Charlie's greatest birthday

1:34:04

1:34:06

1:34:09

1:34:11

1:34:13

pot of thunder I know I

1:34:16

1:34:18

1:34:23

1:34:48

that's right. Yeah. You can do

1:34:50

1:34:53

think about our votes. We will

1:34:55

all let each other know. My

1:34:57

vote is in. Mine's in. Next

1:35:00

is in Charlie. Are you still

1:35:02

debating or do you are you

1:35:04

1:35:18

All right. And here we go

1:35:20

rock and roll bone This

1:35:35

is the limitation. And again, when

1:35:37

there's a new guest, I realize

1:35:39

just how silly the clips are.

1:35:41

And what must people think? Well,

1:35:43

don't be embarrassed. It's fucking amazing.

1:35:45

We don't bring anybody into the

1:35:48

inner sanctum here unless you know

1:35:50

they're gonna dig it. That's true.

1:35:52

That's true. Charlie will remember this

1:35:54

birthday for the rest of his

1:35:56

life. And trust me, he will,

1:35:58

he appreciates this. after watching the

1:36:01

video that I'd never watched it

1:36:03

before it's my new favorite scorpion

1:36:05

song right now it's like now

1:36:07

it's I have an image of

1:36:09

it yeah well that's the best

1:36:11

of beauty of the video medium

1:36:13

you know like we said there

1:36:16

it's an advertisement for what you're

1:36:18

trying to put across its marketing

1:36:20

it resumes it resumes it's like

1:36:22

it's like the the final commercial

1:36:24

right yeah like an ad yeah

1:36:26

a trailer. It's perfect. It's a

1:36:29

perfect commercial for the rock and

1:36:31

roll experience, right? Yeah. Like, I

1:36:33

gotta go to this when it

1:36:35

comes to my town. That's how

1:36:37

much fun it is? And 40

1:36:39

years later, I want to go

1:36:41

see this girlfriend again. They're supposed

1:36:44

to do the residency, but Mickey

1:36:46

D had a real issue with

1:36:48

himself. Saphsis and whatnot. Like, almost

1:36:50

death. Yeah, that chick could kill

1:36:52

you. Yeah, and they don't want

1:36:54

to play without Mickey D and

1:36:57

I wouldn't either. You never fucking

1:36:59

know. And in the more times

1:37:01

you can see the scorpions in

1:37:03

your life, the better it is.

1:37:05

It's like now that you mention

1:37:07

it, like right now I appreciate

1:37:09

more that I got to watch

1:37:12

them once. Yeah, man. But it's

1:37:14

like, I would have appreciated it

1:37:16

way more if I watched this

1:37:18

before. Yeah, well now you got

1:37:20

to see him again. Yeah. Are

1:37:22

you going to play us out

1:37:25

tonight or no? And I don't

1:37:27

want to put pressure on you.

1:37:29

You don't have to. We can

1:37:31

do a clip. We'll do a

1:37:33

clip. I don't think we need

1:37:35

to do a yardo question. I

1:37:37

mean, it's late. You guys got

1:37:40
