00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:09.640
Let's go. Hey, we're doing
another podcast. What the heck? Welcome

2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:13.919
to podcast eighty four. This is
the play Pants Podcast. That's Jason Ginzi

3
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:18.480
right there. If you're watching on
the YouTube, I'm rod Ryan and uh.

4
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.039
We were off last week, but
so we got a lot of catching

5
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.280
up to do. We got a
lot of actually, we have a lot

6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.600
of stuff to talk about. I
almost feel a little overwhelmed of all the

7
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.039
things I want to get to.
A couple of emails I want to get

8
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.519
to. You said that you had
some stuff that you wanted to look at,

9
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.799
maybe some some comments from our YouTube
channel. Rock and Roll Hall of

10
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.280
Fame just announced who's in, Who's
out. Okay. I don't know why

11
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:46.320
I let my blood bubble on these
things, but it happens. It's National

12
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.799
Parent Normal Day. I wanted to
ask you a question about things that happened

13
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.679
in the French Quarter. I know
you know a lot about that jazz Fest

14
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.359
first weekend. I didn't make it
in I had the sick kids. So

15
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.280
we can talk a little bit about
what you saw out there for jazz Fest.

16
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.280
And we're gonna talk Aerosmith today on
the pod. And I don't think

17
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:11.879
we've ever really gotten into Aerosmith much, but the anniversary of and I've heard

18
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:18.439
people like Slash and some other musicians
say that Aerosmith Rocks was the album that

19
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.799
kind of was a pivotal point in
them going into direction that they went.

20
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.040
Specifically Slash, I know he has
mentioned that album. But Aerosmith in nineteen

21
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:32.280
seventy six, on this day that
we're recording May third, they released Rocks

22
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:34.840
where You Got Back in the Saddle. Last Child was off of that album

23
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.319
nineteen seventy six, So forty seven
years, we'll talk Aerosmith in our Top

24
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.680
five Aerosmith songs. Jason, good
to see him, Dude, I'm having

25
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.560
chips. Remember last episode we were
talking about chips, So I'm like,

26
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.280
and I called it. You were
the Dorito cool ranch guy. Well,

27
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.359
I don't normally eat chips, right, I thought, why not eat chips

28
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.840
during a podcast, because that's fucking
smart. So anyway, jazz Fast people

29
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.680
come into town this week. A
lot of people gonna be here doing some

30
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:05.200
crawl fishing. So the wife went
out and started buying chips and they're never

31
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.760
in the house. Well, she
just left a club Mexico and I'm like,

32
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:09.800
I don't give me some of them
chips. I'm gonna get some chips.

33
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:15.120
You got people coming over. It's
a license for your house to have

34
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.800
junk food in it. It's oh
fucking great. As soon as somebody's come.

35
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.639
I want comfort foods for my guests, and you want to have that

36
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:29.120
stuff for them, even though if
you don't get around to it, well,

37
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:30.199
you don't want to throw it away. You gotta use it up.

38
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.680
So how to eat that ship?
Yeah, no, that it's it's fun

39
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.400
when that happens. But I tell
you what, you get to a certain

40
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.840
age and man, your guts are
wrecked. I'll have three chips. I'm

41
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.439
like, okay, tapping out because
my guts are wrecked. Yeah, dude,

42
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.520
jazz Fest last weekend. That was
weekend number one. Uh, it

43
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.759
wasn't. It didn't go as planned
for a lot of people. Obviously you

44
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.759
had some some issues. But um, I went out Friday and Lizzo performed

45
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.599
on Friday, and I'm like,
I don't give a fuck about Lizzo,

46
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.919
right, and I don't care.
But then like we wanted around a little

47
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.960
bit and we went over. My
wife was of course at Lizzo, jumping

48
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:07.400
up and down, and I got
there and dude, I'm telling you man.

49
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.240
You know again, the way we
always talk about good or bad music

50
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.159
is it's not that it's bad music, it's just may not be your style,

51
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:23.280
your type. Lizzo is an incredible
performer. She owns the stage.

52
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:30.800
She's unbelievably cool on stage, talking
to people in funniest shit can riff and

53
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:32.520
I'm like, damn, you know
what, don't like your stuff, don't

54
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.800
like your music. But I felt
better afterwards. You know. It was

55
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.479
one of those moments. I feel
like she's pretty talented. But I mean

56
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.800
at the end of every song or
the beginning of every song, was every

57
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:47.159
song for all the big girls out
there? Does every single thing have to

58
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:51.360
be for the big girls? It's
for the big girls. I'm a big

59
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.840
girl. I want to be I
want to represent the big girls, and

60
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.120
I want you to know that big
girls can get up here and this is

61
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.319
for the big girls. It's like, Okay, you're a big girl enough

62
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.280
already. Everything doesn't have to be
it doesn't have to define you. Yeah,

63
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.159
it was. It was interesting.
I had a couple of interesting conversations.

64
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.919
You know. It's like, look
and we'll talk about it right here,

65
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.879
because who gives a shit is uh
you know, I get it,

66
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.480
man, I'm all body positive.
Look, I ain't no prize to look

67
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:17.680
at. Okay. I go in
my pool and people are like, what

68
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.120
the fuck is wrong with you?
Many who looked like you got thrown down

69
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.800
a hill or something. So like, I realize I am not exactly captain

70
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.519
handsome, you know what I mean. But I feel like there's there's there's

71
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.839
a pro side to her body image, right, big girls, cool man

72
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:38.959
ride that trade. But then it's
like that ain't healthy. It ain't healthy.

73
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.319
It's setting the minute. Maybe it's
setting a bad thing too. It's

74
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.519
a it's a fifty fifty split on
that deal. And I want to be

75
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.439
careful because I want to get in
trouble, to get fucking canceled or anything.

76
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.720
But it feels like, yeah,
I'm a cool man, you're you're

77
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:55.920
a bit of overweight cool all good? You know. It's just it just

78
00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:00.160
seems like I catch I guess I
just catch sound bites of her. I

79
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.480
don't you know you watched an entire
performance. I just assume that every song

80
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.920
she does, okay, and this
one's going out to the big girls out

81
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.319
here, and then we're gonna do
this song and then okay, well you

82
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.720
know, praise God, and this
one's for the big girls. And then

83
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.160
here's my next song. It's like, okay, fucking we get it.

84
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:20.040
It's for the big girls. I
just feel like the soundbites, the clips

85
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:25.879
that I see that sometimes I'm a
product of my work environment. Listen my

86
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.639
company. iHeart loves Lizzo. There's
shit on the TV all the time.

87
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.000
But I got it. Man,
Okay, you've got the big girls covered.

88
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:39.439
You know you didn't hear Adele shouting
out to the big girls before every

89
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:45.920
song of hers. It's just it's
just when somebody is just one thing you

90
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.680
said it. I agree with you. I think she's super talented. She's

91
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:56.199
got Houston roots, so she's a
big deal here. It's just and then

92
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.040
okay, she's a big girl.
I get it, but I don't.

93
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.439
I don't need to hear about it
NonStop. Just man, just go out

94
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.279
and beat you. You don't gotta
like call out the big girls every time.

95
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.600
I mean, there was that element, but it wasn't every time.

96
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.720
And it was cool. And I
tell you what, man, afterwards,

97
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.000
I was I felt, I was
fired up. I was felt it was

98
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.480
very positive and uplifting and she's cool
and she could sing her ass off,

99
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.639
and it's it's it's one of those
things where had she not set her and

100
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.279
hammered on the big girl thing is
And it wasn't every song, but when

101
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:26.600
she did it, that all washed
away. I didn't think of her was

102
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.600
a big girl. After about two
songs, I just saw a person up

103
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.720
there singing and having a great time, and I was it's like I went

104
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.839
to with the uh, the Mulan
Rouge many years ago in Paris, right,

105
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.600
And of course Titty's right, it's
old school, it's cabaret, it's

106
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.319
dancing, it's singing, it's it's
this whole entertainment circus, right, But

107
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.160
after like five minutes of Titti's I
didn't even think about it. It was

108
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.240
just the performance was cool, it
was fun. It wasn't sensual in that

109
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.639
way it was it was just a
performance, and like the same kind of

110
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.360
concept with her. After a couple
of songs, I was just watching a

111
00:06:55.439 --> 00:07:00.399
performer and enjoying the show. Built
built for comfort, You old sailor,

112
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.120
you willed son of a bitch.
You Oh. I wanted to get old

113
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.680
school and start pulling that cord on
the top of the old motors, remember

114
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:11.079
those old ones in those boats pulling
cord before wrap it around. My grandfather

115
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.240
had an old school boat like that. Yet, okay, I want to

116
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.639
do that. So yeah, anyway, and then Saturday at rain like a

117
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.560
biach, that's when I was supposed
to be there. So everything, you

118
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.439
know, my kid wasn't feeling well. I got you know, I'm talking

119
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.879
to my ex and we're trying to
figure this all out, and um,

120
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.120
I canceled my tickets because so my
kids not well. She goes to the

121
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.319
She gets out of school early on
Friday at the doctor and then boom him

122
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.000
on the phone with the kid,
and I'm like, okay, listen,

123
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.439
listen, Okay, New Orleans is
out, so forget it. Don't worry

124
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.279
about it. Let's not even play
that you're not feeling well. You want

125
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.120
to stay with it was my weekend. You want to stay with mom or

126
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.360
you want to come with dad?
She was, I want to come with

127
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.399
dad. Don't even think twice about
it. You know that's that weird,

128
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.560
that weird unconditional love with your kid. Had she said she wanted to stay

129
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.680
with Mommy. Okay, then okay, I don't get my feelings hurt.

130
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.360
She's not feeling well, it's an
hour and a half drive. She just

131
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:11.319
wants to stay put. Okay,
sometimes little girls want their moms. And

132
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.240
I would have been fine, and
then boom, I would have come in.

133
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.680
So she's like, no, I
want to come to your house.

134
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.759
I said, okay, boom,
get online, cancel the tickets, go

135
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.439
pick her up, hour and a
half, hour and a half back,

136
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.360
and then boom. I'm with a
sick kid. But it's it's it's your

137
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.360
kid. So it's not like,
oh, you're bummed out. Of course

138
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.399
I wanted to be at jazz Fest, but you're not bummed out. I

139
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.240
mean, you know, it made
me feel good that my kid wanted to

140
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:43.159
come see me still, so that
was nice. But you're there just helping

141
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.159
your sick kid out all weekend,
and you know, it's awesome. But

142
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.240
thinking and seeing some of the stuff
that was happening on Saturday, even if

143
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.799
she wasn't really sick, and if
she was just a little bit sick,

144
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.639
man out there in the rain Saturday
was a nasty one. Huh. I

145
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.240
did want to ask you. I
didn't want to ask you about Ed Sharon

146
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.679
though, because man We've been talking
about him in the news a lot lately.

147
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:09.159
As the families. It's not just
um, it's just it's it's not

148
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.279
Marvin Gay, it's whoever else was
involved with writing the song. Let's get

149
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.919
it on. They're going after Ed
Shearon right now for his song. I

150
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:18.720
don't know the name of it,
but I'll be Loving You when I'm seventy

151
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.840
and it's a big wedding song.
And he's in court every day now,

152
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.080
and he court wasn't in session over
the weekend, so he came in in

153
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.720
New Orleans and then boom back into
court. Did he talk about it at

154
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.480
all? Did he mentioned it on
stage? He mentioned it very briefly in

155
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.960
between songs. He said, yeah, maybe I heard about it. I've

156
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.480
been kind of sitting there in court
for the last week, so it feels

157
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.000
good to get stand it up and
out here. You know. That was

158
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.600
it? He just okay, right
on truck Man, I tell you what.

159
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.240
I didn't know that he mentioned it. Yeah, I don't don't know

160
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.320
much about Ed Sharon, but that's
a Helvard performer. That dude. It's

161
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.879
him, that's it. Yeah,
him, there's no band all him in

162
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.320
loops and I'm like, and he
explained it right out of the game.

163
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.519
He played a song and he says, hey, listen, I want to

164
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.759
I want you to know what I'm
doing up here. And he explained the

165
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.320
whole fucking thing. And then he
started doing it and everyone's just going fuck.

166
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.639
And like the one time he fucked
it up, He's like, oh

167
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.279
shit, I'm at the wrong speed. I sucked it up. So he's

168
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.960
sorry, and he just goes back, starts fresh, and he starts doing

169
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.360
it again. It's like nobody cared. He just owned it, man,

170
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.480
and it was again, not my
bag of tricks. Awesome. He was

171
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:31.600
not not my proudest moment telling this
story on this podcast. But Ed Sharon,

172
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.360
that's the second time he's played jazz
Fest, Oh yeah, yeah,

173
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:37.679
a long time ago. He played
it the first time he played jazz Fest.

174
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.200
And I talked about this because your
daughter was there and I'm my goddaughter

175
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:45.200
and and we're hanging out and she's
like, come on, uncle Rogie,

176
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:46.279
let's go. You know, she
wanted to go see Ed sharing it.

177
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.399
I'm like, where the fuck is
Ed Sharon? And I'm like, I

178
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.559
don't know who is this guy?
Nobody gives a shit about Ed Sharon because

179
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.120
he was he was playing on like
the Gentilly stage. And I said,

180
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.600
and I told your daughter, and
I said, listen, all the milks

181
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.639
are gonna be over at bon Jovie. I gotta go watch bon Jovi.

182
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.840
Okay, I'm telling this to your
daughter, my god daughter. I'm telling

183
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.000
her. The MILFs are gonna be
on the other side of the track.

184
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.679
I need to be over here in
this number. So that's when we kind

185
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.799
of split up. So she went
to go see Ed Shearing and I went

186
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.320
to go see and I went to
go hang out with all the milks,

187
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.960
which there were. I was right, I was spot on. There was

188
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.600
just a million mills at a bon
Jovie show. But that was the that

189
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.440
was the first time that he had
played, and that was my I told

190
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.879
that story. And I texted your
daughter within the last couple of weeks and

191
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.840
I just, you know, hand
to talk to you. Just check it

192
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.080
in, miss you. And then
she goes, h yeah, we'll catch

193
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.519
up soon, you know. I
listened to the podcast. I'm like,

194
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:54.600
ah shit, I'm like shit,
I'm like that's not cool. I don't

195
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.399
think you need to hear all this. Yeah, it gets weird then,

196
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.720
right, you know, what I
mean, like, that's one thing you

197
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.759
gotta keep in mind too, is
like, what's what's great about these podcasts

198
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.240
is that Wow? Not much obviously, but like your daughter could go back

199
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.399
and listen to all this shit someday
it's art. She's gonna be like,

200
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.840
no, God, my dad and
my uncle were dip shits. No,

201
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.679
as soon as she gets of age, I'm just hitting I got everything set

202
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.360
up. One button, Pully,
it's just the cleaner switch. Boom.

203
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.240
It just wipes out every dumb thing
I've ever said on for the whole thing.

204
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:30.759
Man, that's actually not a bad
idea. So I'm kind of open

205
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.519
ended. I mean, there's an
outside chance. I look, there's still

206
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.399
some flights available my kids, not
one hundred percent. I do have her

207
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:41.480
again this weekend, so we'll see
what happens. Um. I wanted to

208
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.519
share with you an email, and
not because of specifically what I wrote,

209
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.919
but I kind of wanted to get
your take a little bit like this happens

210
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.159
to me all the time. Amber
is uh is going to New Orleans?

211
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.360
Okay, she says, Uh,
good evening, Rod husband and I are

212
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:03.200
venturing to New Orleans this weekend.
The North Mississippi All Stars and then two

213
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.480
nights of Better than Ezra. Yep, Since that's your stopping grounds, what

214
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.600
are a few of your musts when
you go back? Thanks for your suggestions,

215
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.799
and I hope you're having a great
week. So that's Amber and her

216
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.240
dude. They're going into New Orleans. So I mean, I do I

217
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.919
get these emails all the time.
So I said, all right, here

218
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.720
are my must have drinks. Amber, I said, you got to go

219
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.720
to the Napoleon House and get a
Pim's cup. You gotta go to Molly's

220
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.639
on the Market and get a frozen
ice coffee, Lafitte's Blacksmith's shop. You

221
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.639
got to get the Purple Voodoo.
And I put in parentheses very strong.

222
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.960
I said, party, party after
dark. The gold Mine is one of

223
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.559
my favorite places. Tell owner David
Brinks. I said, hello, do

224
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:50.080
a flaming doctor pepper shot. And
then the late night The Dungeon is my

225
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.519
favorite bar on Tulou Street, just
off of Bourbon. Next thing, all

226
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.159
right, take the Pirate Tour.
My friends own it Pirates of the Quarter

227
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.639
dot com, Pirates of the Quarter
on ig and Facebook. Then I wrote,

228
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.559
if you go past the Quarter,
down past the French Market, it's

229
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.679
a bit of a walk, but
it's manageable. There's a whole another world

230
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:16.919
called Frenchman Street. You'll be amongst
locals. You'll hear really amazing music till

231
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.720
the wee hours of the night.
Everyone I have sent there has been amazed

232
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.759
and have had no idea that this
area even existed in New Orleans. Most

233
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.399
people just hit Bourbon Street and I
sent her a link to a Frenchman Street.

234
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.919
So, as a guy that lives
there and basically roams around the quarter

235
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:41.399
every day, did I miss anything? As far as you know what I

236
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.159
mean? You could go on and
on and on for hours, you know

237
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.919
about stuff to see and stuff to
do. What would you tell her?

238
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.440
I would say, did I miss
anything? Now? I mean, you're

239
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.039
you know what by going to those
places, you're going to stop at places

240
00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.240
in between and distill her own shit
on your own You know, that's time

241
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.960
you get to French Street before you
get to Frenchman Street. Oh well,

242
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.799
there's Rod just mentioned, there's you
know, the defeats, the French Market

243
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.759
or whatever, you know things.
So um, yeah, I get that

244
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:11.919
all the time, people wanting to
hit some you know, hey, they

245
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.639
want to hear from somebody that's been
there. You know what what what are

246
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:18.399
your favorite places to go to?
Right? It's tough because you don't know

247
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.240
how many times they've been there.
You know, if it's if it's the

248
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.240
first time, you just tell them
the basic. The must dudes out of

249
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.399
the gate. You know, you
gotta go to Jackson Square. You gotta

250
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.000
get a beigny a. You gotta
go up by the river. You take

251
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.840
a paddle boat ride, you know, go to the feats, all the

252
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:33.519
places you mentioned. Yeah, that's
that's your first time. Second time,

253
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.639
then you start digging in a little
bit more, and then you do the

254
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.759
Frenchman streets and then you want to
dig in a third time. You go

255
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.759
over to the Byewater where it gets
that's like, you know, Bourbon Street

256
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.559
is you're you're you know, your
your your candy bar. You know,

257
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.559
it's easy. It's solid cover songs
mostly and it's just it's it's Bourbon Street.

258
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.200
And then you go to the Frenchman
Street and it's brass bands and Latin

259
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.240
and shit. And then you go
down to the Mirror or I'm sorry,

260
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.240
then you go over to uh,
the Byewater and that's just that's just whole

261
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.080
other level of different bizarro. You
know, the Saturn Bar and the Highhole

262
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.039
Lounge and all these little dirty dives
and stuff, and that's just a whole

263
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.720
another animal. And then uptown is
a whole another animal too, you know,

264
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:12.399
so you head up, head up
Saint Charles. So there's other areas,

265
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.039
but you're right if somebody's just kind
of going in for a weekend,

266
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:19.320
though. I feel like for me, I'm pretty good on my feet.

267
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:25.240
I want to walk everywhere and everything
that I said, even getting down to

268
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:27.320
Frenchman Street. And this is for
anybody that's listening that's thinking about going to

269
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:33.600
New Orleans Frenchman Street. Every time
I've taken somebody there, they just go,

270
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.320
what the fuck? What is this? It's kind of like another Bourbon

271
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.159
Street. The difference, the big
difference is that you gotta pay a cover.

272
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.360
Everywhere you go on Bourbon Street.
Everywhere is free. They want you

273
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:47.399
to come in drink, drink,
drink, drink, drink, drink,

274
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.480
drink specials. And there's, like
you said, cover bands, karaoke,

275
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:53.159
that type of shit. If you
want to go see like real bands,

276
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:59.320
great jazz and horn sections and things
like that, you are gonna have to

277
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.159
pay a cover. And then you
get your craft beers and stuff, and

278
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:03.720
it's gonna be a lot of locals. There's still a ton about of town

279
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.960
people there. But I remember,
you know, that's kind of come around

280
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:15.359
in the last twenty years or so, and everybody is blown away and it's

281
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.200
still within walking that's for me,
that's walking distance. I still like to

282
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.640
walk that. And that's the best
part about like Fat Tuesday and Marty gard

283
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.000
Day. That's where we end up
because that's where the chaos really is.

284
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.880
I mean Frenchman straight now. Yeah, that's where like the weird weird avant

285
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.279
Guard parade start and the little the
little drum parties, Like everyone with the

286
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.319
drum shows up. There's one parade. Everyone's gonna fucking drum either a based

287
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:42.440
or a snare, and it's just
everyone banging on shit and it's it's just

288
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:48.039
the most coolest area down there for
Marty Grad and that's that's a locals thing.

289
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.039
And then they parade right into the
quarter that it all falls apart.

290
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:53.759
But yeah, Fat Tuesday about eight
o'clock in the morning, nine o'clock in

291
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.519
the morning down in the Marinie that's
the spot, dude. Yeah, that's

292
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.759
where you want to go. So
I mean, yes, there's a million

293
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.559
things. Look email us, man, I'll tell you where to go,

294
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.200
but you basically covered it. You
know. I always tell people all the

295
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.759
time, what else do we do? If it looks cool, it probably

296
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:10.559
is. That's usually what I tell
people. You know, I shouldn't.

297
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:17.319
I should have mentioned Dragos, great
place, that oyster house for the oysters.

298
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:18.839
Yeah, all that good ship,
dude, it's all fucking great.

299
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.599
And be honest with you. I
tell people to skip act me because that

300
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.000
fucking line is ridiculous. Yeah.
Yeah, the line is just way too

301
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.279
out of hand. And if for
me it's still a walk, it's still

302
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.759
within a walk. I know.
Sometimes I mean, chicks, if you're

303
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.680
wearing ass jackers, you're not gonna
be able to walk to Frenchman Street.

304
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:41.799
You're not gonna be able to walk
to um the Hilton where Dragos is.

305
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.839
But for me, I could walk
that. I still I want to I

306
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:47.880
want to move. I want to
be on my feet the whole time.

307
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:49.960
Um, you can walk, but
Dragos is where you want to go and

308
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.000
get the oysters. So I'm going
to add that onto that email really quick.

309
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.319
So obviously I told her, you
know, to take the pirate tour.

310
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:59.799
Yeah, this is what I wanted
to run by you. Today.

311
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:07.960
It's National Paranormal Day, so I
don't know the exact definition of paranormal,

312
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.960
but we talked about it briefly on
the air because I know Test is into

313
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:18.680
all this shit and dream catchers and
saging rooms and bullshit. Okay, I'm

314
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:25.960
coming around a little bit on the
UFO stuff. You're coming around a little

315
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:30.359
bit. I do feel like there
are some things out there. I'm okay

316
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:34.000
with calling something a UFO. An
unidentified flying object is a little fucking green

317
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:38.119
man in there driving around. I
don't know. I don't think so I'm

318
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:41.839
coming around though. Maybe it's the
guys in Blink within eighty two. They

319
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.599
got me. But when it comes
to the ghosts stuff, okay, And

320
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.559
when it comes to people taking pictures
and they use a flash and it catches,

321
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:55.599
it catches a piece of dust and
people try calling that orbs and those

322
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.319
are spirits and all of that stuff. New Orleans is a great place for

323
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:04.079
those types of stories. And as
a guy that owns Pirates of the Quarter

324
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:11.240
dot com, Jason's a very He's
a history guy. He's a history buff.

325
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.319
And that's what kind of led him
and his brother into this? And

326
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.559
and I've taken both types of tours. I'm promised I'm going somewhere with this.

327
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:25.400
You come at it in a fun
way, but you're actually giving history.

328
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.359
You're you're giving things that really happened. You know, you hear me

329
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.519
do the commercial all the time,
and these are the ways that you know,

330
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.480
the things that formed New Orleans and
the reason why New Orleans is the

331
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.240
way that it is. And you
know, and you do talk about Lafitte's

332
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.240
blacksmith shop. Well, you know, I don't think those guys live there.

333
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:51.400
But the ghost tours, there's these
fantastic stories that are told and and

334
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:56.759
I know that people for years because
your tour is relatively new in the quarter.

335
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:02.559
So with today being national or a
normal day, a lot of people

336
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:04.599
will go to New Orleans and they
say, I want to take a ghost

337
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:11.599
to her. You know, how
do you approach that? Because I they're

338
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:18.720
telling stories and I'm sure from what
I've gathered and then knowing you for as

339
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:23.079
long as I have, they grab
a little piece of history. There may

340
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:29.160
have been a party, there may
have been somebody that was being tortured up

341
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:33.079
in a in an attic somewhere,
but you know, blood spilling and body

342
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:38.400
spilling out of doorways and down the
street, and in the in the nunnery,

343
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:44.960
there's apparently a bunch of coffins up
there, and they blessed the screws

344
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.880
and they screwed the door shut,
and there's vampires up. They take a

345
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.359
little bit of history and they kind
of like tack on these huge stories.

346
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:57.640
So where are you at with the
ghost stories and the paranormal because you live

347
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:03.480
in one of the haunted, most
haunted cities in America. So I'm told,

348
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.200
well, that's the fun part of
it, you know. And people

349
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:07.640
will ask occasionally on the tour,
they're like, hey, you see any

350
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:12.079
ghosts? And I go and here's
my answer I give every time that question

351
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.000
is asked of me. Have you
seen any ghosts? I said, I'm

352
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:21.920
a grown ass man. No,
grow up, that's my answer, no,

353
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:23.720
because there aren't any. I've been
in that I've been in the French

354
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:29.440
Quarter twenty six years now. I've
been drunk out of my skull, I've

355
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:33.039
been stone cold sober. I've been
in almost every fucking building in the French

356
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.440
Quarter. You know what, I've
seen nothing, Not a goddamn thing.

357
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:40.680
Dude, there's no fucking ghosts,
you know. Oh but dude, and

358
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:42.920
I'll get it, and we're gonna
get hammered today, probably in the comment

359
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.240
section, which is cool, man. I you know, tell me,

360
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.119
you tell me your little story about
how you saw a ghost or you were

361
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.279
in a hotel of the French Quarter
and when you left or you went to

362
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.160
bed, the drawer was closed and
in the morning it was opened, and

363
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:56.279
I'm like, yeah, that's a
good one, That's one of my favorite

364
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.640
ones. But you realize these buildings
in the French Quarter are old as fuck,

365
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.200
and there's not a straight you got
a place? Is there a floor

366
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.240
that's straight? There isn't. Everything
is at an angle. Shit opens.

367
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.880
Sorry, there's always going to be
an explanation. There's no goddamn ghosts in

368
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:14.200
the French Quarter. They tell stories
about vampires and I'm like, where the

369
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:18.319
fuck are they now? Where are
they? Because I've done yet they were

370
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.920
around all I mean, you know, Interview with a Vampire and Brad Pitt

371
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:27.839
story telling and Rice she lived in
New Orleans. I mean the stories that

372
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:30.680
she wrote, she wrote, you
know, New Orleans was the backdrop of

373
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.240
these great stories and stuff, and
it's great. It's I love all that

374
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.400
shit. I love and I love
Interview with a Vampire, the series it

375
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.559
was just on AMC. I love
that too, man. But again I'll

376
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.319
go back to I'm a grown ass
man. You know what you get in

377
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.079
your head. You start thinking about
stuff, then you start thinking you're seeing

378
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:49.519
shit, and then you're drinking,
and of course you're gonna see shit.

379
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:52.400
My favorite one is when people hold
their phones. Dude, look, there's

380
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.480
a dude back there. I go, do you fucking know anything about light

381
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:02.680
and dark in photography? Come on? Your tour is very different. It

382
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:07.480
absolutely ghost tours. And like I
said, yours is relatively new ghost tours.

383
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.240
They probably have been doing them for
forty years in New Orleans, right,

384
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.799
Oh totally. And those guys,
look you you believe in ghost great,

385
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.519
I'm all for it. Go for
it. Take the ghost tours because

386
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:21.640
a lot of those guys do a
really fantastic job. They there, they

387
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.839
look the part, they act the
part. There's a lot of really good

388
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.720
ones and and god love them,
man, and they're great dudes. But

389
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.160
I don't I don't buy any of
that shit. Do they run any kind

390
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.799
of a disclaim? I know,
I don't remember I've taken a ghost tour

391
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.000
before. It's been twenty years.
Do they run a disclaimer? Do they

392
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:38.440
just go right into it and say
what you're about to hear? This is

393
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.759
it, man, this is what
fucking happened. There's you know, Dracula's

394
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.960
right up there in that window.
Well, what they do is they tell

395
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.720
you is what it really is a
lot of times is they're gonna tell you

396
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:49.400
a story of a murder. Somebody
got fucking killed at a party, like

397
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:52.680
you mentioned, right, someone hung
themselves on a balcony. Those things are

398
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.799
all probably true because that shit happens
all the time anywhere, right. Well,

399
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.759
then, of course, then then
they twisted into you know, well

400
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.519
people have stayed there, have seen
the little girl walking down the hall and

401
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.480
say, okay, that guy was
fucked up on shrooms. You know,

402
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.799
It's like, no, you didn't
see the little girl because a little girl

403
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:12.799
dead. That's not how this works, you know what I mean? And

404
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:18.119
then we always we always, I
always explain it this way. Well,

405
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.039
because you talked about Lafitte's blacksmith's shop, right, that's a fucking the best

406
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:23.960
bar in the quarter as far as
I'm concerned, especially day drinking. You

407
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:26.000
get in there, you get a
table, sit down, chill out,

408
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:32.079
drink some of those purple drinks.
It's fucking awesome. Don't say some of

409
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:36.759
those purple drinks. Drink one purple
drink. It depends on how much of

410
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:38.599
a day you're gonna have. Don't
drink more than one purple drink. But

411
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.319
I told her, yeah, the
purple Voodoo it's very strong. It's a

412
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.480
right. It's one of my favorite
bars that chill out it because it's just

413
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.400
got that look. It's build the
seventeen seventies. It's old as fucking it's

414
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.039
awesome. But then it's like,
you know, oh, the ghost of

415
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.200
this, ghost of that? And
I'm like, look, I've done plenty

416
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.799
of ghost research over the years,
and the research is this. I've seen

417
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.960
every episode of Scooby two thousands of
times. The end of every episode.

418
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.160
What is it? It's an asshole
in a mask. It's all the research

419
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.680
you need, bro, That's what
it is. Okay, Oh up,

420
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:12.519
And I'm no, we're gonna get
hammered on the ghost thing, but you

421
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:15.440
know what, go for it.
You want to believe in that shit?

422
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.599
Great now, now, ghosts and
all that horseshit. It's different than like

423
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.839
spirituality. You want to light some
incense for Grandma or some shit like that,

424
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:27.119
or you're having conversations with a dead
relative. That's you having a conversation

425
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:30.319
and you're you're doing that. That's
great. I think that's awesome. If

426
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.759
that's how you're dealing with things in
your life, I'm all for it.

427
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.680
But don't sit there in fucking stand
on the street corner to tell me there's

428
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:44.319
a fucking ghost upstairs, because I'm
not gonna fucking believe it. I mean,

429
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:49.119
the absolute best story is there is
there's a there's a convent or a

430
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:56.039
nunnery in the back of the quarter
convent. Yeah, and as Richard Simmons

431
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:02.599
grew up across the street. So
on the tour they show you these windows

432
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:07.599
up at the very top and they
got the shutters closed, and they tell

433
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:10.440
you that these Now, I listen, we've all known nuns over the time.

434
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:12.720
I don't know how agile they were
back in the day, but apparently

435
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:18.880
there was a ship coming over here. It was bringing vampires. They're in

436
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:25.079
their coffins and everything, and the
nuns flew into action. Okay, they

437
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:30.839
were just incredibly fit and nimble.
They flew into action. They intercepted the

438
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:34.960
coffins, took them right upstairs,
put them in that room up at the

439
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:41.200
top, and the priest blessed the
screws, and they screwed everything shut.

440
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:45.880
And then apparently because of the separation
of church and state, nobody can go

441
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:52.480
up there, and these vampires are
up there. It's a fantastic story.

442
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.119
It's pastic story, and it's one
that I tell if I'm walking with somebody

443
00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:59.680
and I come across that. It's
a it's an awesome story to tell,

444
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.079
and it kills every fucking time.
I mean, when you're walking with somebody

445
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.160
by that covenant the nunnery, and
you tell that story, they remember that

446
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.480
for the rest of their lives.
But is it true. It's an Rice's

447
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.440
story, it's you know what I
mean, Like, it's probably not true,

448
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.319
but it's just such an awesome story. So these ghost tours do that,

449
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.000
yeah, and it's okay. I'm
not shooting at them. They do

450
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.400
a great job at that. It's
storytelling. You're having drinks and you're getting

451
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.880
scared. Who doesn't love going on
in houses and all that shit. It's

452
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.119
all it is, right. That
story comes from Ann Rice's books. You

453
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.359
know Lestat was buried or in a
coffin up there in the convent. It's

454
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.920
just been twisted around over the time, you know what I mean, and

455
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:40.799
you never notice how it's really convenient. How well there's a separation of church

456
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:45.359
and states, so you really can't
go check. That's convenient storytelling right there,

457
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.400
dude. I've told this story too. I've told people like, like,

458
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:49.799
man, if you're really into ghosts
and ship, here's what you're gonna

459
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:53.839
do. Go yanka tooth out tonight, throw it under your pillow, wake

460
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:57.400
up tomorrow morning and see what's going
on under that pillow. It's the same

461
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:03.799
fucking thing. Sorry, kids,
who or listen it is I'm not that's

462
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:08.920
that's very very soon in my future. Okay, Well, happy National Paranormal

463
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:11.960
Day everybody. And then wait,
wait no, they always got those things,

464
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:15.519
those little fucking people, the ghostbusters
shoes. There's dudes out there with

465
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:19.640
those things, the little fucking the
lights up and ship. Oh oh,

466
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:22.000
I'm feeling it, man, I'm
feeling Oh. It's it's cooler right here,

467
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.640
the temperatures two degrees cooler. I'm
like, you're in the fucking French

468
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.839
quarter. It's all brick. Shit's
gonna change temperatures around with a piece of

469
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.960
technology. There's a couple of dorks
out there doing that, and that's what

470
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:37.319
that's what I've You've lost me.
You want to tell great stories, that's

471
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:44.400
awesome, because the art of storytelling
is a skill, but don't be fucking

472
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:47.160
Oh we got one, we got
one? Oh did you feel that?

473
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:49.279
It just got cold? Like I
just want to hit him with my fucking

474
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:56.519
sword? Do you? So you're
I imagine there's a time when you're bringing

475
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:03.799
a tour of your pirate group,
you're passing, You're you're crossing over ghost

476
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.359
tour people, right, yeah,
yeah, the whole tour. I should

477
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.680
write a book just on the tour
guide business because it's fucking wild man like

478
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:12.440
that. There's rules and shit you're
supposed to follow, which most people do.

479
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.680
But every once in a while you
get someone who's gonna be a dick.

480
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.000
And you know, I'm fucking dressed
as a pirate and I'm carrying a

481
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:21.799
sword. I'm pretty much gonna own
the moment, you know what I mean?

482
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:23.880
Right? And yeah, the ghost
people just stare at me like,

483
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:27.680
whoa, that looks like fucking fun. As we go by and they're sitting

484
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:33.640
there hearing about you know, fucking
ghost in some bedroom. You know,

485
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.440
So again, take the ghost tour
when you come to New Orleans. That's

486
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:41.319
fine, you're gonna have fun.
But that's what I'm up against. The

487
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:44.759
ghost tours are so world famous and
we're a haunted city. What people don't

488
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:49.400
understand is that the fucking pirate influence
is so much more important to everything New

489
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.880
Orleans. But you know what,
let's go stand on the street corner and

490
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:55.839
fucking look at nothing. You slide? Is it? Poor formed? Can

491
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:57.480
you slide up some cards as you
go and buy the ghost people? Yeah?

492
00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:00.400
Man, look we're gonna we're gonna
live and die in our own way,

493
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.799
and we would ever do that.
Right. They're out there working just

494
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:10.319
as hard as anybody else. Jason
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced Rage

495
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:15.839
is in. Sound Garden is not
in. I thought that was a flip

496
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.000
of a coin. I'm good with
it, you know. I think Sound

497
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:21.880
Garden will eventually get in. But
Iron Maiden didn't make it in again.

498
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:26.240
And if that's the one thing that
kind of got like my blood bubbling today,

499
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:32.000
the fact that fucking Iron Maiden didn't
get in. It's I mean,

500
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:34.000
I've already, like I've already bitched
and moaned about it, so I'm kind

501
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:41.599
of like over it. But why
Judas Priest is in even though I think

502
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.039
they got one of those bullshit things
like side deal. I'm kind of a

503
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.400
you know, like Randy Rhodes got
in, you know, because of Tom

504
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:56.000
Morello. I don't know how ll
cool J is in. Is he in

505
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:57.519
there as a regular rock and Roll
Hall of Fame and ductee or is he

506
00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:04.079
in there because he's you know,
it feels very much like there's the adult

507
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:06.920
table in the kid's table, and
like like Rendy Rhodes at the kid's table

508
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:08.039
at the rock Home, you know
what I mean. It feels very much

509
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:10.599
like that. So I think maybe
Judas Priests, maybe he got in that

510
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:15.160
way. I don't know. But
George Michael got in with the most votes

511
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:17.400
from the fans, and then you
know, he made it in. Willie

512
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:22.160
Nelson made it in on his first
nomination. Kate Bush got in somehow,

513
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.960
which is such a bullshit, which
such bullshit. It doesn't mean that it's

514
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:30.079
just it's not that I don't like
her, it's just it's absolute bullshit.

515
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:36.799
Nobody can tell me a second another
Kate Bush song. For God's sake,

516
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.079
somebody come at me with one more
Kate Bush song. They can't, you

517
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:44.640
can't. And it's influenced. It's
yeah, it's literally dumb. It's it's

518
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:46.680
weird. Chylus goes in, It's
like, come on, you know,

519
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:51.240
I don't have a problem with that. She's a songwriter. I think she's

520
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:55.720
very well respected amongst her peers.
I'm okay with Cheryl Crowe. I'm good

521
00:32:55.720 --> 00:33:00.559
with it. I just don't I
don't even get upset anymore. The thing

522
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:02.720
that really does upset me, and
I'm absolutely creased about is Iron Maiden,

523
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:13.720
who still play around the world in
at minimum arenas stadiums still and still play

524
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:15.480
some stadiums. Right, How can
they not be in the Rock and Roll

525
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:22.519
Hall of Fame because you have you
have Black Sabbath. I mean, the

526
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:28.000
way the tree works for me is
Black Sabbath is on top, and then

527
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:31.000
right after that, I think it's
Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Zeppelin.

528
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:35.559
I mean, I really do put
those three together, and then you

529
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:40.000
got Deep Purple and those other things. But I think right underneath Sabbath is

530
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:44.960
Iron Maiden. What am I How
am I so wrong on this? Yeah,

531
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:46.079
I don't know what the deal is
Iron Maiden, because they've got the

532
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:49.759
albums, they've got the touring,
they've got the street cred, they've got

533
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:52.759
all of it. But you know, Motley Crue is in. You know,

534
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:54.640
No, Mally Crue is not in. You're right, Mala Crew is

535
00:33:54.680 --> 00:34:00.359
not in. Def Leppard's in.
Okay, yeah, you'll this is where

536
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:01.559
we started falling apart, and we
said like, well, this band got

537
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:06.359
in before this band. Again.
I've used this example many times when you

538
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:08.239
go to the fucking Louver, one
of the biggest best museums on earth,

539
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:10.800
and you're like, standing is anyone
standing there? Going well, I can't

540
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:15.639
believe they fucking put the Venus de
Milo in here before the before the Mona

541
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:17.199
Lisa, fuck that, you know
what I mean? Nobody cares. Ten

542
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:20.480
years down the road's gonna be up
happy to go through the place and go

543
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:22.880
that's cool, you know what I
mean. It's a museum. But we'd

544
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:24.519
be caught up in that argument all
the time. They'll get in. Well,

545
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:30.440
what's interesting about the Rage Soundguard thing. There's all kinds of little fun,

546
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:32.559
funny, fumbling bullshit that goes around
getting these people in. I wonder

547
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:36.320
if like Soundguard, like they said, hey, look, don't put us

548
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.800
in this year because they were still
working out the legalities between the widow of

549
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:43.119
Chris Cornell and the band members.
They had just got that taken care of

550
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:45.880
a couple of weeks ago, so
there's gonna be Soundguard music coming out.

551
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:47.519
So I wonder if they just said, hey, wait until we get this

552
00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:51.280
ship ironed out, then put us
in, you know what I mean.

553
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:54.039
So that makes it a more touchy
feely, huggy sort of event. We

554
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:57.639
don't know what goes on behind the
scenes. No, no, no,

555
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:05.639
but here's I'll play into what you
just said. The induction ceremony. The

556
00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:09.079
guy that is the curator of that
is one of the really high ups,

557
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:14.719
maybe the number three four guy for
iHeartRadio, John Sykes. He's an old

558
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:21.280
MTV guy and stuff like that.
The fact that Iron Maiden said, we

559
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:25.360
don't want it, we're not showing
up, we're not categorized, we don't

560
00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:28.440
blah, we don't we don't want
to be put in a box. All

561
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:31.760
of that. This guy's ultimately,
I say, this guy, John Sykes,

562
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:37.119
this iHeart guy, He's got to
put together a television show, put

563
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:40.679
together an award show, you know, the Grammys has to be put together.

564
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:45.559
The Academy Awards has to be put
together. That's his thing. He's

565
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:47.440
got to put that together. If
he's got a band that's flat out saying

566
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:51.960
I'm not showing up, well then
fuck you. I'm not putting you in

567
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:59.239
right, that should not play into
it. They deserve. They have done

568
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:02.119
more than enough to be in the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I

569
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:07.280
really do feel the fact that they
won't show up for that fucking TV show

570
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:12.079
that is a major strike against them. Yeah, no, I agree.

571
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:14.360
I mean because you have to put
that show together. That show has to

572
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:16.480
be interesting. That's why you see
certain layers, you know. Okay,

573
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:21.079
rage against the machines in that's our
hard, heavy rock this year. Okay,

574
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:22.440
we're done, we're good. We
got it. We got our pop

575
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:27.280
tart you know, chicks, shell
Crow, George Michael, pop artists.

576
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:29.280
Okay, we got that covered.
We got a country guy. Oh,

577
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:30.480
Willie's in here. Let's get him
in before he croaks. You know,

578
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:34.519
he's ninety good. It's like they
check the boxes. Okay, we gotta

579
00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:36.079
get one of these, one of
these one of these, one of these.

580
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:37.320
Okay, we got a good show. It feels that way, you

581
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:43.400
know, it's what it ends up
being. That's okay. Yeah, when

582
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:45.800
I think about it, it makes
me sick. If I don't think about

583
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:46.840
it, then okay, boom,
I'm not gonna lose any sleep. I'm

584
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:52.039
gonna sleep. I'm gonna sleep just
fine tonight. But it's amazing that after

585
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:54.480
all these years, that rock and
roll Hall of fame still gets me upset.

586
00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:59.320
It still gets me upset even when
okay, good, rage, okay,

587
00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:00.480
great. I kind of an idea. I mean, Tom Morello seems

588
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:04.920
to be really really involved these days, and I know he's back in the

589
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:10.239
he's in that back room with the
nerds, and he's the only reason because

590
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:14.239
of his influence, he's the only
He's the guy that got Randy Rhodes,

591
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:19.039
you know, even for them to
even talk about him. So, you

592
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:21.760
know, you got a bunch of
guys back to that fucking worship Roxy music,

593
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.320
and then you got Tom MORRELLO.
So, uh, what Voe came

594
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:30.840
here? He is that a bark? Well, yeah, that's about the

595
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:34.719
butt came here. Vo comes everybody
on the podcast. Man, Holy shit,

596
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:37.519
it's probably your dog, dude.
Oh yeah, No, she hasn't

597
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:39.719
had a full bark in over.
Yeah, she's gonna have to. Actually,

598
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:43.760
I'm not upset about it. I'm
not upset about having a three quarters

599
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:46.800
of a three quarter bark. I
gotta let her out. She's yeah,

600
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:51.760
got hang on, we didn't,
so we don't got to go much further

601
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:54.400
on this Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame thing. I'm almost sick of hearing

602
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:59.079
myself talk about it. To be
honest with you, it's uh and I

603
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:02.639
said again this morning, Come on, just Garth Brooks. I will be

604
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:09.440
upset if Garth Brooks is not nominated
next year. Dolly Willie and I get

605
00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:12.239
it. You still got to take
care of some of these. There's the

606
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:14.719
older guys. You know, you
might need to go back and get fucking

607
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:19.960
you know. I don't know Merle
Haggard, Merle Haggard and Tubs somebody with

608
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:22.039
the last name of Tubs. Um, you have to get him in there.

609
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:24.760
But Garth Brooks so a fucking rock
star man, you know, put

610
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:28.760
in No, it's fine, I
mean, you know whatever, I'll watch

611
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:30.079
I'll watch the Rage against the Machine
Induction. I'll be like, okay,

612
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.199
cool, I'll see what they do
with with George Michael. That'll be interesting,

613
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:36.719
you know, but yeah, whatever, who gives a shit? Right?

614
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:40.679
I want to bring something up from
last last episode. We talked about

615
00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:47.039
Stained m and we talked about Greta
Van Fleet and how you you know,

616
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.000
their new song came out, which
is a great song, but yet it's

617
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:53.960
not gonna get much radio airplay,
and it's not it's barely getting any radio

618
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:58.639
airplay around the country. I check
this morning, nobody's playing that song really,

619
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:02.519
and they're not. And you brought
up how you know, maybe maybe

620
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:07.320
uh, maybe gret band Fleet don't
give a shit because they can make enough

621
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.599
money through touring and TikTok and all
the other shit and downloads and vinyl sales

622
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:14.800
and all that merchandise. But that's
good enough for them, right. That

623
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:16.559
was kind of the gist of your
comment. And I'm like, yeah,

624
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:22.280
that maybe some bands don't need to
be on the radio to to you know,

625
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:23.639
they don't care. They got their
own thing going on and they don't

626
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:28.800
have to worry about right, right. So a guy who who actually listens

627
00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:32.760
into the podcast chimes and occasionally is
Richard lundie H. He said, hey,

628
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:37.320
look there's a lot of good rock
bands putting out good music, but

629
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:42.039
y'all will never play them unless they
got a million dollars backing them. He's

630
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:45.400
talking about you and I and our
radio stations, right, Yeah. A

631
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:49.360
perfect example is Lit band, the
band Lit. You know, uh,

632
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:52.519
their last CD was ridiculous, yet
no airplay. That's why bands like Greta

633
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:55.559
van Fleet do what they do and
they're happy. Now he's got some interesting

634
00:39:55.599 --> 00:40:00.119
points in there. Um, I
didn't hear the last album, so I

635
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:04.920
couldn't speak on that. His point
about, hey, some bands just want

636
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:07.440
to do that, I'm I'm with
you. I think I think there's a

637
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:12.400
plenty of bands and don't give a
shit about radio, but paying us millions

638
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.440
of dollars that doesn't happen. Okay. I want to make it clear,

639
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:20.760
and you've made it clear many times
the podcast it we have bands don't pay

640
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:24.840
us anything, if anything else the
radio station when you play it, those

641
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:28.519
every time it's played, it's called
a spin. Those spins get added up

642
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:32.360
and then quarterly radio rights checks to
the artists who play on the radio.

643
00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:37.239
So it's actually backwards. You know, we don't pay bands don't pay us

644
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:39.119
to get on the radio. All
right. They just know. It's not

645
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:43.480
how it works. It's it's it's
record labels who'll say, hey, here's

646
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:45.760
a band we're pushing right now,
here's a new song. Do you like

647
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:47.320
it or not? Does it fit
your radio station or not? They talked

648
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:50.760
to Radio Wizard in Houston. They
talk to me, and they talk to

649
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:53.639
program directors all around the country,
and we go, yeah, that fits

650
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:57.679
our station, we'll play it,
or no, that doesn't fit where we're

651
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.119
trying to accomplish with our stations,
so we won't play. That's pretty much

652
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:04.840
how the game works. So with
a band like Lit, I'm just going

653
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:08.400
to guess because I don't know.
I really don't know, but I'm guessing

654
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:15.199
that Lit does not have any backing
from a major record labels. I didn't

655
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:21.440
hear about it. I'm guessing that
Lit put out an album and they have

656
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:23.960
a certain amount of fans, and
they put something out and their fans bought

657
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:30.480
it, and this guy likes it. But it's Lit and they're fucking street

658
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:37.119
team working it, working it.
Meaning if you do have major label backing,

659
00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:42.239
and let's say you they were on
OURCA back in the day, our

660
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:47.199
SA has got some juice and they
have a team of salespeople, record people

661
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:51.639
that will go out and they will
go out and promote it and push a

662
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:53.320
guy like Jason and push a guy
like the Radio Wizard. Hey man,

663
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:55.440
we got this. This is really
good man. You should take a listen.

664
00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:59.039
You should take a listen. Lit's
not at that level where they have

665
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:05.199
people working for them. So Lit
is just like the other millions of bands

666
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:08.880
that are floating around on YouTube right
now. The difference is they did have

667
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:14.400
a hit and there's some name recognition
there, but other than that, they're

668
00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:17.440
no better off than fucking Richard Cheese
that's you know, putting out his own

669
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:27.360
CDs and and other artists. So
it's it's on them, you know.

670
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:30.519
I just don't think they have a
record deal. No, and you don't.

671
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:32.400
You don't have to have a record
deal. But it's just how do

672
00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:36.840
you expect us to go and find
all this stuff? You know? That's

673
00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:40.440
what That's what having a major label
on your side will do. They will

674
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:45.119
go out and they've got salespeople to
go out and push it and get it

675
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:47.400
in front of people and get it
out there and do the different things that

676
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:52.000
need to be done for promoting the
new album. It's on LIT to promote

677
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:57.639
it themselves. And man, let
me tell you, those songs are gonna

678
00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:00.920
be fucking amazing, you know,
if they're gonna get play. Yeah,

679
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:06.159
well, I know there's just a
lot of bands like that. Stabbing Westward

680
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:07.639
just played here, remember them?
Oh yeah, yeah, what do I

681
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:10.639
have to do? Yeah yeah,
a couple of really really great songs,

682
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:14.400
you know, and the singers dealing
with some personal things. He had some

683
00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:17.320
health issues and stuff, and they're
putting off their own stuff right now,

684
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:21.679
and they're working on trying to do
some sort of a comeback type thing.

685
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:25.599
And yeah, it's just there's a
million of those out there right now.

686
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:30.440
There's a million of those. Most
bands. I didn't even know Crazy Town

687
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:34.199
was still together until I saw the
fucking lead singer and a guitar player get

688
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:37.920
into a fight on TMZ last week. It's like, I imagine those guys

689
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:39.920
are probably still trying to bang out
new music, you know. Um,

690
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:47.719
but yeah, we don't accept money
and songs, and that doesn't Lit does

691
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:51.119
not have to pay to be on
the air. No. The problem you

692
00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:52.639
have though, with like a band
like Lit, maybe the album is good,

693
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:57.199
Um, I don't know, but
you know, there's a lot of

694
00:43:57.239 --> 00:44:00.480
noise. So what happens is these
record labels they get access to us,

695
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:05.719
the program directors and other people in
the industry. You know, LIT doesn't

696
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:08.400
have that person ringing my phone sending
me emails. Hey. You know,

697
00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:10.519
they just don't have the people to
help. That takes a lot of people

698
00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:14.400
to put these things together and get
in front of people. You know,

699
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:16.199
you gotta let me know what's out
there and then I'll go listen to it,

700
00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:19.719
and then I listen. You know, don't just start emailing me links

701
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:22.440
to fucking songs. Okay, that's
not really gonna help me either, Like

702
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:23.719
I don't there's not enough time in
the day to listen to all the music

703
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:25.920
that's out there. You just don't
have time. So that's why these major

704
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:30.400
labels get shit in front of you. And now occasionally there's these weird little

705
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:34.639
bands that will get a weird song
that sneaks through, like the band Giovanni

706
00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:37.719
and the Hired Guns. You know
that song they had out of the last

707
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:40.320
summer, Ramona Yala or whatever it's
called. Song came out of nowhere.

708
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:43.800
I mean, yeah, they're on
a label, but it like it got

709
00:44:43.880 --> 00:44:46.679
it took forever and ever and ever, and it just sort of inched its

710
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:50.760
way up and then people started taking
notice of it, and then a label

711
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:52.519
got involved more and then they push
it out. That is such a rare

712
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:55.519
occurrence, you know, and it
kind of came out of Texas because it's

713
00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:58.960
a Texas band, I believe.
So it shows you that, but it

714
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:00.960
shows you that it still can't and
happen, you know, like it still

715
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:05.920
can't happen for a band, and
a band can that can still a rock

716
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:09.840
band, you know, can still
be discovered and you know, you don't

717
00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:14.119
have to be on American Idol.
You can still put stuff out there and

718
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:19.480
try to get noticed. It's just, you know, the music industry has

719
00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:22.480
never been easy, you know.
It's it's always been incredibly hard. And

720
00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:27.840
for every band that makes it,
there's a million that don't. And nothing

721
00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:30.159
has changed. Nothing has changed,
No, not really. I think what's

722
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:32.039
good about it now? Though,
Like you say, you've got a band

723
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:36.280
you love from the you know,
early nineties that have just not had the

724
00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:38.079
success. They haven't been back on
the radio, like like litt for this

725
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:40.559
guy right, he likes the band
great. Well, they can keep putting

726
00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:45.000
out albums every few years and their
fan base who's probably connected to them through

727
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:47.920
Facebook or whatever. If it pops
up on Facebook, you're like, oh

728
00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:51.800
shit, they got a new album
out. Cool boom, Okay, maybe

729
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:54.199
you buy it, maybe you download
a couple of songs. A band could

730
00:45:54.199 --> 00:45:58.159
probably sustain a life with that,
with touring and hitting the you know,

731
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:00.239
the small sheds and the small clubs
around the country. You could do it.

732
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:05.039
You could make money doing that,
you know, you could. I

733
00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:06.840
don't know if I'd want to do
it, but hey, if you want

734
00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:08.039
to do it that way, you
can bang it out. Told. Most

735
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:13.960
of those hair metal bands are still
playing, still putting stuff out, don't

736
00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:17.000
have a record deal. They're on
the Monsters of Rock, Creuse, Faster,

737
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:22.079
Pussycat and Fucking Bang Tango and Tora
Torah and whatever. You know,

738
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:25.760
Steel Hard, anybody that had one
song, you know, some hair metal

739
00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:30.880
song, they're still playing and they're
probably still recording new stuff, you know,

740
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:32.960
I mean all the way up until
Docking. You know, they're probably

741
00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:37.039
still putting music out there. George
Lynch is always putting shit out, you

742
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:43.280
know it. It doesn't mean that
it needs to be on the radio.

743
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:45.519
It's just they built a fan base
back in the day, and you know

744
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:49.280
what, they still go out and
they tour and they still put shit out

745
00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:52.760
for their fans, and it's great
where lits at and you know lit they

746
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:57.800
had a couple of hits, so
they probably can make a living. You

747
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:00.280
know, like, I don't know
if they have dajobs. Well you've got

748
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:05.119
if you've got that hit, you
know, um that that's gonna get thrown

749
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:07.280
into a movie or TV show every
once in a while. That's where you

750
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:08.880
make your bank. That can that
can carry along for a while. You

751
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:13.119
go do some shows, you tour, you got your merch you know what,

752
00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:15.440
if you build enough fan base and
your work, I'm sure they're fine.

753
00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:19.639
I'm sure they're fine. But that's
that's still kind of rare too.

754
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:22.639
Do you even get to that level
of success, you know, yeah,

755
00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:28.039
money, most of the guys that
we all fell into the trappings of kind

756
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:31.440
of somewhat worshiping back in the day, these guys are not gonna be on

757
00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:38.559
cribs. They're just not. Um. You know. There's of course,

758
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:42.400
you know, you mentioned def Leppard
and you know Bond. Everybody knows bon

759
00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:45.039
Jovi's like so insanely rich. He
wants to buy a football team rich.

760
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:50.679
He's you know, he's in there
in that billionaire area. Um. But

761
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:55.519
man, it's just these guys that
we we we looked up to. You

762
00:47:55.639 --> 00:47:59.639
go and look at them, and
you know, I don't know how if

763
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:04.400
you out some songs and you own
the publishing of them and that sort of

764
00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:07.599
thing. But you know, me, as the drummer of my band,

765
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:09.920
I thank god every day we didn't
get signed, and I didn't go that

766
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:15.039
direction because I'd beyond that fucking monsters
of rock cruise, playing my one song

767
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:21.480
and you know, and then going
back to my mom's basement. Yeah,

768
00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:24.159
yeah, no, probably, you're
right, You're right. I thank god

769
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:28.480
that I quit when I did,
and I and I didn't go out to

770
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:31.679
Los Angeles, and you know,
I just I my friend Mark hates when

771
00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:34.840
I talk like that. I'm I'm
so glad we didn't get signed by a

772
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:38.440
record label. I I just because
it worked out. You know, I

773
00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:44.079
wouldn't be where I am, And
thank god I got out when I did.

774
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:46.639
But that's the thing that we were. We were too late. Nirvana

775
00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:50.920
already hit. We weren't doing that. It wasn't going to happen for us,

776
00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:52.880
you know, I was just gonna
go out to La and struggle.

777
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:54.920
Yeah, yeah, no, I
mean that that, but but I just

778
00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:59.599
wanted to make sure we made it
clear that we're not getting checks written to

779
00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:02.559
us. Yes to play music.
It's just in fact, it's quite illegal

780
00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:07.239
nowadays, after what's his name Spitzer
in New York years ago, sign all

781
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:10.119
those rules and stuff, and you
got to sign so much paperwork when you

782
00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:14.159
work in radio. Oh, it's
gross. It's gross. Not the old

783
00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:17.679
days when they bring in blow and
horrors and corvettes and you can play music.

784
00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:20.480
Man, I'm like, we missed
it by about ten years. Man.

785
00:49:20.519 --> 00:49:22.039
I used to hear we hear stories
all the time. Yeah, man,

786
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:24.400
you want to play this song?
No, it's piece of shit.

787
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:30.400
Open up a briefcase. There's a
ride. Go for a ride. Oh

788
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:34.000
dude, you know you're spending it
like ninety times. That's how you got

789
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:36.000
songs on the radio back in the
day. Man, you can't do that.

790
00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:39.159
Go for a ride. You come
in with a brand new Warner Brothers

791
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:43.280
jacket, and then all of a
sudden the songs being played on the air.

792
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:45.159
Okay, amazing how it used to
work. Well, Errol Smith was

793
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:49.079
able to do it the old school
way. I'm sure Blow was involved though,

794
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:52.320
well blow Jesus Christ, everything was
involved. I mean they called those

795
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:57.840
two the Toxic Twins for a while. Yeah, I mean that's Aerosmith is

796
00:49:57.880 --> 00:50:04.920
such a it's such a unique story
with them. I really cannot I cannot

797
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:08.800
put anybody in the same category.
There's been bands that have gone into a

798
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:15.119
lull and had a comeback, nothing
to the magnitude of Aerosmith. They were

799
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:20.400
fucking done. They were completely done
zo. They were a huge band in

800
00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:27.079
the seventies, and then Boom Drugs
took over Perry Leaves the band. They

801
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:29.880
put out Rock and a Hard Place. Then they put out the shittiest record

802
00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:34.119
ever done with Mirrors, and then
nineteen eighty seven hits and they just agree

803
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:36.639
that, Okay, number one,
we gotta get cleaned up. Number two,

804
00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:38.960
we got to have somebody helped write
some songs for us, okay,

805
00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:44.320
because we're just these seventies fucking fossil
guys. Man. We need Desmond Child,

806
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:46.880
we need this, we need this. And then Permanent Vacation hits in

807
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:52.679
nineteen eighty seven, and it's the
biggest fucking comeback in the history of rock.

808
00:50:52.920 --> 00:51:01.559
Can you even think of somebody that
comes close you really, you look

809
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:06.159
at bands, people don't realize that
back in the day, like Kiss,

810
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:09.559
their first three albums, nothing was
happening. Nothing was happening with Kiss.

811
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:13.599
As a matter of fact, they
might have broken up had they not put

812
00:51:13.599 --> 00:51:17.480
out that a live record. That's
what radio stations grabbed it, and they

813
00:51:17.519 --> 00:51:22.599
started playing the live version of probably
rock and Roll all night, and then

814
00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:25.440
all of a sudden it happened for
them. Bruce Springsteen put out a couple

815
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:30.159
of albums. Not a whole lot
was happening until Born to Run hits,

816
00:51:31.360 --> 00:51:37.559
But Aerosmith was big and then they
went away, meaning it's just they just

817
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:43.719
were falling apart, and then they
had the biggest comeback ever. Well,

818
00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:46.840
part of the comeback was the run
DMC thing with Walk this Way. Yes,

819
00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:51.599
that's what really twisted them in.
What was interesting about that is that

820
00:51:51.800 --> 00:51:57.159
neither parties wanted to do it.
Nobody Aerosmith was like, are you fucking

821
00:51:57.360 --> 00:52:00.880
nuts? Absolutely not, and the
guys would run MC were like, are

822
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:05.800
you fucking nuts? Absolutely not.
Neither party wanted to do it. I

823
00:52:05.800 --> 00:52:07.760
believe it was Rick Rubin to put
it together right. It was, uh,

824
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:12.199
he had to you know, work
his sage magic and do all that

825
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:15.400
shit and guru stuff and get them
together and do it, and then it

826
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:17.920
just blew up both of their careers
and that's where their train started to roll.

827
00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:23.679
He did not to use it.
Yeah, you didn't. You're not

828
00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:27.360
crying, are you? So Hey? I want to bring this up before

829
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:31.119
we dive into our top five favorite
Aerosmith tunes. Um, we've talked often

830
00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:35.599
about a bio pick, what band
would make it. I don't think we

831
00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:38.760
ever mentioned Aerosmith. Aerosmith is ripe
for the picking. There is so much

832
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:44.119
shit, so much drama, so
much everything with it. And then comeback,

833
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:45.400
Man, it would be like they
come You know, there's would be

834
00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:51.079
different because you would have that We
started as kids in Boston playing in gymnasiums,

835
00:52:51.079 --> 00:52:53.039
and then we blew up to the
top, and then we fucked it

836
00:52:53.119 --> 00:52:57.760
up and then we fell apart and
then we came back and the rap thing

837
00:52:57.760 --> 00:53:02.400
with the run DMC. It could
be a fucking great story some of the

838
00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:07.480
stuff that's coming out right now,
and specifically with Steven Tyler and having that

839
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:12.280
fucking fourteen year old girlfriend and you
know, going all fucking Jerry Lee Lewis

840
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:19.840
back in the day. People have
receipts. And you know, I touched

841
00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:23.559
upon it briefly on the air.
I said, man, your heroes in

842
00:53:23.599 --> 00:53:29.880
the fucking seventies got away with some
shit. You know, Jerry Lee Lewis

843
00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:34.400
wasn't the only fucking creep out there, you know, I mean even even

844
00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:37.239
Elvis the Priscilla thing. You go
look at the ages when they met.

845
00:53:38.519 --> 00:53:42.800
Go look at the ages when he
met her. I'm not saying they did

846
00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:45.360
anything. And apparently they waited and
all this bullshit. I don't believe it.

847
00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:50.599
You know, we have a history
of just kind of like skirting these

848
00:53:50.599 --> 00:53:55.280
things because there are heroes. But
Jimmy Page, those guys did some fucked

849
00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:59.639
up ship back in the day.
And he had a little fucking baby girlfriend

850
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:02.880
and there they are getting the Medal
of Freedom from you know, President Obama.

851
00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:07.199
I know, it's so those guys, it's a fucked up shit,

852
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:09.960
man. They're jamming a fish in
a chick. So anyway, mud shark,

853
00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:16.519
there's there's there's a story that Steven
Tyler had a girlfriend and the parents

854
00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:22.639
signed her over to him, and
he admits this. He said, it's

855
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:30.000
not like you think the parents signed
her over he was her guardian and boyfriend.

856
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:35.079
Fucking weird. So that's I mean, the seventies were a little different,

857
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:37.719
man. People were getting married much
younger back then, I know,

858
00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:40.239
But now people want answers, and
I you know, we're in that.

859
00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:44.880
I'm not even chalking this up to
cancel culture. I just think people are

860
00:54:44.920 --> 00:54:47.679
finding out about this guy that they've
always known. I mean, at one

861
00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:54.280
point he was a judge on American
Idol. That's American Everybody's living room man.

862
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:58.119
Yeah, yeah, so that's that's
the thing. What do you mean

863
00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:04.519
he had a fourteen year old girl
friend and what do you mean is the

864
00:55:04.679 --> 00:55:08.679
parents signed her over to him.
That stuff is happening right now. You

865
00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:13.400
know, Steven Tyler is dealing with
that right now. Yeah, that's that's

866
00:55:13.519 --> 00:55:15.840
That's the only one, you know. I mean, what the fuck was

867
00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:20.880
going on with Michael Jackson? You
know again, right, it's it's it's

868
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:27.320
a whole nother discussion. I don't
know if that would stop the Aerosmith biopick

869
00:55:27.440 --> 00:55:30.360
from moving forward, Yeah, I
don't know. It didn't stop Michael Jackson

870
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:37.320
stories from being made, so yeah, I don't know. But my top

871
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:42.360
two contenders I think would be because
we know that there's gonna be a dumb

872
00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:45.039
kiss movie being made for Netflix,
so that's already out of it. That's

873
00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:49.039
out of the question. It's not
going to be a big theatrical release.

874
00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:53.000
Um Aerosmith and I really think the
front runner has to be right now,

875
00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:59.280
has to be Fleetwood Mac because of
Daisy Jones, because of the success of

876
00:55:59.320 --> 00:56:01.599
that. And know it's not like
that was on the tip of everybody's tongue,

877
00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:07.360
but it was so good that I
think. I look at a guy

878
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:10.920
like Alex on my show who watched
Daisy Jones is his girlfriend got him to

879
00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:14.360
watch it, and then he realized
how much he got into it, and

880
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:15.599
then he's seeing the parallels. He's
like, Wow, I didn't know all

881
00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:19.320
this stuff about Fleetwood Mac. It's
like, why did this really happened?

882
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:22.840
They really stood up there and they
sang songs about each other and breaking up,

883
00:56:22.840 --> 00:56:24.599
and they this guy forced her to
sing this and him to sing this.

884
00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:28.599
I said, yeah, I said, that's a fucking movie. He's

885
00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:30.159
like, yes, that, I
want that to be a movie. Yeah.

886
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:34.679
I think Fleetwood Mac would be great. I really do think that's the

887
00:56:34.800 --> 00:56:37.840
movie. What if you did a
thing? And again we're getting off of

888
00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:40.519
the fucking weeds again. But our
podcast, what if you did a thing

889
00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:45.719
where like, because there's a lot
of interconnected shit in that seventies vibe right

890
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:49.000
there. You had the Eagles,
you had Fleetwood Mac, and there was

891
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:52.519
a little that was that you could
almost do a movie on that whole scene,

892
00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:55.960
because the Eagles were a fucking disaster
as well in a different way Fleetwood

893
00:56:57.000 --> 00:56:59.679
Mac. You could almost go and
put us all this shit together and have

894
00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:02.360
it all culminate to like some big
festival, you know, like actually,

895
00:57:02.360 --> 00:57:06.400
you know, would be kind of
a cool fucking movie, and you'd almost

896
00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:07.880
have to fake it in a way, as the US Festival in eighty three,

897
00:57:08.119 --> 00:57:10.000
you know, that's where Van Halen
played. It was like one hundred

898
00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:14.559
thousand people, and it was put
on by what Steve Wozniak from Apple or

899
00:57:14.639 --> 00:57:16.800
whatever the fuck it was. You
could almost make a fake one of that,

900
00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:20.480
like they do with Daisy Jones and
the Six and have all these bands

901
00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:23.519
and tell their stories about getting to
this final concert and all the conflicts and

902
00:57:23.519 --> 00:57:28.079
all the bullshit, beause they all
have their fucking Every day you go to

903
00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:30.480
work is a fucking chore. I
don't want to say in you specifically,

904
00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:35.840
I'm saying in general anybody, there's
always drama. There's that asshole that fucking

905
00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:37.519
cooks fish for lunch in the microwave. There's you know, the guy that

906
00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:40.199
always forgets his tools on the job, or whatever the case. I mean,

907
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:44.719
bands are even worse because you've got
all these creative, fucking people,

908
00:57:44.880 --> 00:57:49.519
a lot of egos involved at drugs
and booze. Every band is fucked up

909
00:57:49.519 --> 00:57:52.280
in a lot of different ways.
It's just the way it is. Fleetwood

910
00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:58.559
Mac would be cool. I just
to get the sign off of the bands,

911
00:57:59.320 --> 00:58:02.000
then the you know, the business
aspect of it and the music,

912
00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:07.239
and it's hard enough just to get
one band right to get on the same

913
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:09.280
page. And then you're you're trying
to bring together like let's just say you

914
00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:15.079
even focused on five bands, four
bands. What a fucking nightmare to try

915
00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:17.039
to get all those camps to agree
to all of this stuff. Now you're

916
00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:21.320
doing something that's gonna be unauthorized and
you're not gonna get anybody. And Don

917
00:58:21.320 --> 00:58:24.119
Henley is gonna say fuck you because
we deserve our own movie and because,

918
00:58:24.280 --> 00:58:28.760
believe me, he would be a
dick. So you're not gonna get you're

919
00:58:28.800 --> 00:58:31.119
not gonna get people signing off on
that ship. They just won't. They

920
00:58:31.119 --> 00:58:34.320
won't, right, right, No, I agree, but a kind of

921
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:36.599
a neat thing to see happen.
And if you can't put all these you

922
00:58:36.599 --> 00:58:37.880
know, if you can't do a
one off. But you're right, there's

923
00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:40.840
so much fucking bullshit, all the
rights to all the music and all you

924
00:58:40.880 --> 00:58:43.400
know, and then of course,
you know, what are they gonna want

925
00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:45.679
to show. They want to show
Stevie Nicks do it a blow for an

926
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:49.159
hour and a half of the movie. You know, she get that right

927
00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:52.559
out of dude's assholes. I think. Yeah, those great stories about her,

928
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:57.440
what a great girl. I like
her, and Fanny holes dude love

929
00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:00.400
it. That's gross. Let's never
forget who's listening to this po podcast or

930
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:04.440
who potentially will live listen to this
podcast. Okay, you know what you

931
00:59:04.519 --> 00:59:10.239
know? Hot take Christine mcveee was
hotter or Christine McGee she was hotter.

932
00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:16.639
There was something about her, there
was something always hotter. Was she English?

933
00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:21.320
Was she milfy? She was always
Milfye the something that was? I

934
00:59:21.320 --> 00:59:23.480
don't I thought she was hotter than
Stevie Knicks. Yeah, Stevie Nicks was

935
00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:28.159
the show boat and just all up
front constantly all the time with the scarves

936
00:59:28.159 --> 00:59:30.920
and dance and twirling around and ship, which was fine. It was great

937
00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:32.199
for the band. It was cool
and she did it. But yeah,

938
00:59:32.280 --> 00:59:37.199
Christie mcveee was over there v behind
the fucking keyboard, just banging away.

939
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:40.360
Yeah, I think that's where I
go first. You know, you know

940
00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:45.920
that you don't want to go Stevie
Wolf, tie a fucking board to your

941
00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:52.159
back. Remember who's listening. She's
whish. I wouldn't have done that piece

942
00:59:52.199 --> 00:59:58.039
of information, all right, Um, take the pirates to her. All

943
00:59:58.119 --> 01:00:00.840
right, let's do our fucking top
five arrows. There's a commercial Pirates of

944
01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:05.440
the Quarter dot com. Thanks for
joining us in New Orleans. So do

945
01:00:05.480 --> 01:00:13.199
you agree that there's two Aerosmiths.
There's Aerosmith seventies and then there's Aerosmith Dude

946
01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:15.760
looks like a lady moving forward right, Yeah, permanent, permanent vacation for

947
01:00:15.840 --> 01:00:17.599
it. And in fact, what
I was going to bring up is the

948
01:00:17.639 --> 01:00:22.960
fact that I didn't know I came
into Aerosmith and I was the second half

949
01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:24.920
Aerosmith guy. I had to go
back and listen to older shit later,

950
01:00:25.000 --> 01:00:29.119
Like I had heard dream on and
and that kind of ship. But yeah,

951
01:00:29.159 --> 01:00:30.679
that was all like old to me. The new Erosmith was cool.

952
01:00:30.679 --> 01:00:37.320
I bought Permanent Vacation on cassette set
when it came out in eighty eighty seven.

953
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:39.079
I believe, yeah, I had, I bought it. It was

954
01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:44.599
fucking awesome. I love that album, but that was my Aerosmith, you

955
01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:46.239
know. I went from there,
and then I had to go backwards in

956
01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:53.880
time. The video is the Daughter
and Alicia Silverstone and there. Yes,

957
01:00:55.000 --> 01:01:01.360
um, yeah, that that Aerosmith
is was silly to me. Yeah,

958
01:01:01.480 --> 01:01:05.079
dude, Dude looks like a Lady
was not one of my favorite songs.

959
01:01:05.159 --> 01:01:07.119
I think part of the problem with
that is we've talked about this before,

960
01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:09.719
is that, you know, classic
rock. I played that song a trillion

961
01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:14.440
fucking times plus. I just that
Janey's Got a Gun. I hated those

962
01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:17.440
songs. I never liked them,
never liked but that version of Aerosmith,

963
01:01:17.639 --> 01:01:23.079
that was really our Aerosmith. That's
our band. Then you know, eighty

964
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:29.199
seven, I'm graduating high school.
This it's the biggest album, and I

965
01:01:29.559 --> 01:01:34.320
think it's silly. I find dude
looks like a Lady in love it an

966
01:01:34.320 --> 01:01:38.320
elevator. I find those like goofball
songs they are. It brought him because

967
01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:45.079
of MTV and all of that stuff, and it made them so unbelievably huge,

968
01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:47.159
and I went to go see him
on those tours that and Pump.

969
01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:52.360
But then I started to get into
some of the older stuff and my sister

970
01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:54.360
kind of introduced me to them too, because that's gonna play into my top

971
01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:58.079
five list because I'm gonna have I'm
gonna have like a weirdo song on there.

972
01:02:00.239 --> 01:02:05.800
But yeah, everything that I love
about Aerosmith because I was in a

973
01:02:05.880 --> 01:02:09.159
band, you know, dan in
uh Scott. They're a little bit older

974
01:02:09.159 --> 01:02:14.280
than me, and they worshiped.
They worshiped, and that influenced the sound

975
01:02:14.360 --> 01:02:15.599
of our band back in the day. And that's how I started to get

976
01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:19.960
into them because they were so into
them. So I had to do this

977
01:02:20.039 --> 01:02:22.719
deep dive because I like, what
are you guys going for here? And

978
01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:25.400
then boom, I started listening to
a ton of Aerosmith and uh, never

979
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:30.760
my favorite band, but always,
you know. And they were called like

980
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:36.239
the poor Man's Rolling Stones, and
they they they're they're a great American band.

981
01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:38.159
You know, they're one of our
greatest American bands of all time.

982
01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:45.239
Absolutely top five American band of all
time, right yeah, oh absolutely,

983
01:02:45.239 --> 01:02:49.000
No. Aerosmith is is absolutely And
tell you why you want to see a

984
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:51.679
great live band, dude, I've
seen him like four or five times.

985
01:02:52.199 --> 01:02:55.280
They do not disappoint live. Holy
I mean you are? They good in

986
01:02:55.360 --> 01:03:04.639
no particular order. Beach Boys,
Mettall like a Eagles, Aerosmith, and

987
01:03:04.679 --> 01:03:07.280
then you know, you go,
you take the fifth one. I don't

988
01:03:07.280 --> 01:03:10.360
care, but I think those four
you can put Fleetwood Mack in there.

989
01:03:10.440 --> 01:03:15.639
Right. American band, I mean, these are not my favorite bands.

990
01:03:15.639 --> 01:03:17.199
These are American bands. I'd say
they're you know, I mean, do

991
01:03:17.239 --> 01:03:21.880
you throw? I mean kiss has
got the you know, kisses an American

992
01:03:21.920 --> 01:03:23.679
band. There's doesn't get more American
over the top than that, you know,

993
01:03:23.840 --> 01:03:28.159
right, So, I don't know, but the importance of Aerosmith,

994
01:03:28.159 --> 01:03:32.639
There's just no question at all that
they are. They are absolute royalty when

995
01:03:32.639 --> 01:03:38.440
it comes to American rock bands,
right absolutely, Um top five. I

996
01:03:38.599 --> 01:03:44.039
you spent a lot of years in
classic rock, so I imagine you got

997
01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:45.920
burned out on some of this stuff. I did. I got burned out

998
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:49.440
on a lot of it. Man. It's like, god, damn it

999
01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:52.239
really love it an elevator. I
seriously, you know, it's goofy it

1000
01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:54.800
dude looks like a lady. You're
right, it was just it always was

1001
01:03:54.840 --> 01:03:58.400
goofy to me. I'm like,
really, dude looks like a lady.

1002
01:03:58.440 --> 01:04:01.679
That's what we came up with.
I mean, there's no doubt that Steven

1003
01:04:01.719 --> 01:04:08.719
Tyler is clever, but his lyrics
they're kind of dad jokey to me.

1004
01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:14.840
Like the song Pink and stuff,
it's terrible. He's a word smith and

1005
01:04:14.920 --> 01:04:18.719
he puts things together, but it's
almost embarrassingly dad bad to me, some

1006
01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:23.000
of the stuff that the words that
he puts together. And I mean,

1007
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:28.000
Joe Perry is a god and and
and and Tyler is one of the greatest

1008
01:04:28.039 --> 01:04:33.079
frontmen of all time. But there
is something hokey about the second half of

1009
01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:36.039
their career to me, Yeah,
a lot of it was weird. And

1010
01:04:36.239 --> 01:04:41.039
uh, you know, this is
what I'm not comparing the two of course,

1011
01:04:41.079 --> 01:04:45.760
but like that's what got Nickel back
into trouble. Chad Kroeger, you

1012
01:04:45.800 --> 01:04:47.199
know, the first album, you
know, he would write like the heavy

1013
01:04:47.199 --> 01:04:50.119
song, he'd write the cool ballad, the hint, and then he'd have

1014
01:04:50.159 --> 01:04:54.000
that goofy song and occasionally those would
come across on the radio. You know,

1015
01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:57.159
rock Star is a goofy song,
right, yep and uh, And

1016
01:04:57.199 --> 01:05:00.440
they kept doing that formula and the
goofy songs if you were like, well,

1017
01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:04.119
fuck you, it's dad jokey and
then and actually Aerosmith got away with

1018
01:05:04.119 --> 01:05:06.079
it because it was before all that, you know what I mean. But

1019
01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:09.719
yeah, I'm a sucker for all
the later stuff though. I like all

1020
01:05:09.719 --> 01:05:12.280
the hits. Man, I like
that, Okay, I like that shit.

1021
01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:14.880
Well, I think our lists are
gonna be very, very different,

1022
01:05:14.920 --> 01:05:17.039
so I can't wait to hear what
you got here. I'll go first,

1023
01:05:17.480 --> 01:05:23.559
top five favorite Aerosmith songs. Actually, I go way old school, back

1024
01:05:23.599 --> 01:05:28.679
to nineteen seventy seven from their Draw
the Line album Kings and Queens fucking great

1025
01:05:28.679 --> 01:05:31.119
smile and I don't know why,
but that doesn't get radio airplay. But

1026
01:05:31.199 --> 01:05:34.159
I just discovered it when I was
doing a deep dive on Aerosmith years ago

1027
01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:38.039
and just fell in love with that
too, man, Kings and Queens,

1028
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:45.079
awesome fucking song. You gotta go
to nineteen eighty nine at number four from

1029
01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:50.039
their pump album What It Takes was
massive. I was in eleventh grade chugging

1030
01:05:50.159 --> 01:05:56.360
beers from a Keg and that album
was cranked up. So again, music

1031
01:05:56.480 --> 01:06:00.519
makes memories. So yeah, that's
what's on. What it takes, What

1032
01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:03.360
It's sticks, What it takes,
very ballad e ish, and it just

1033
01:06:03.400 --> 01:06:08.400
kind of rolls and rolls and rolls. A good song. Number that's five

1034
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:13.760
four three, number three from Get
a Grip nineteen ninety three and Don't Only

1035
01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:18.159
Forget to Bring Up nineteen ninety three
Get a Grip the song crying, I

1036
01:06:18.280 --> 01:06:23.440
know, cheese fucking, but man, is it a hit. It's a

1037
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:26.360
great song. And the video how
do you go wrong? I mean,

1038
01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:30.480
you know, ninety three I'm twenty
two and Alicia's Silverstone and Live Tyler run

1039
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:33.079
around in the video. Yeah,
I'm okay with it. I wasn't mad

1040
01:06:33.119 --> 01:06:39.039
about that. That was number three, number two, I go Old school

1041
01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:44.280
Toys in the attic Sweet Emotion.
I still dig that tune. Man,

1042
01:06:45.079 --> 01:06:47.159
there's something very cool the way it
starts off real slow and just kind of

1043
01:06:47.199 --> 01:06:51.679
builds, And there's something very cool
about this I think was that what was

1044
01:06:51.800 --> 01:06:57.960
used and it's been using a lot
of movies, so it's definitely in dased

1045
01:06:57.960 --> 01:07:00.400
and confused days and confused. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's one

1046
01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:05.480
hundred percent in there. And it's
also in Armageddon when they're training and they

1047
01:07:05.519 --> 01:07:09.599
go into the pool. Oh yeah, yeah yeah, and you got them,

1048
01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:12.880
you know. So they're they're learning
how to the floating and stuff.

1049
01:07:12.920 --> 01:07:15.079
So they're here at at Johnson Space
Center in they're in the pool and I

1050
01:07:15.119 --> 01:07:19.079
think Sweet Emotion is playing. Sonically
it's a fucking brilliant song. I mean

1051
01:07:19.119 --> 01:07:25.599
beautiful. It's just the sonics of
it. It's just it's it's a perfect

1052
01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:28.519
song. And you gotta think about
the year seventy five. It just it

1053
01:07:28.679 --> 01:07:31.599
sounds great for nineteen seventy five and
then number one of my favorite song at

1054
01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:35.679
least today, Living on the Edge
from Get a Grip nineteen ninety three.

1055
01:07:36.760 --> 01:07:41.239
I was always, uh, I
was always into that drum section near the

1056
01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:45.440
end where it goes it just drops
down. It's like, apparently, through

1057
01:07:45.480 --> 01:07:50.320
my extensive research on this podcast,
Steven Tyler confessed to stealing the drum from

1058
01:07:50.360 --> 01:07:53.639
his high school. It was a
big bass drum from his high school that

1059
01:07:53.639 --> 01:07:55.760
he had stolen years ago, and
it was like, let's use this and

1060
01:07:57.039 --> 01:08:00.599
it's just a great sound. Yeah, it's a great fucking sound on that

1061
01:08:00.599 --> 01:08:03.320
big drum. So yeah, see
I did go a lot of them were

1062
01:08:03.880 --> 01:08:10.960
had. Three of my five were
the second Wosmith Phase two so I wrote

1063
01:08:11.360 --> 01:08:13.920
so, I wrote down, I
wrote down Living on an Edge, not

1064
01:08:13.960 --> 01:08:16.319
in my top five, that is
my favorite. So it was your number

1065
01:08:16.359 --> 01:08:21.920
one. That's my favorite Phase two
Aerosmith song. It feels like it's got

1066
01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:26.199
a seventies They feel like they threw
back on that one because the way he's

1067
01:08:26.199 --> 01:08:30.279
screaming and shit in it and stuff. There's nothing hokey, there's nothing goofy

1068
01:08:30.319 --> 01:08:33.319
about it. It's just a really
really good song. Yeah, not good

1069
01:08:33.399 --> 01:08:40.439
enough to be in my top five, but definitely from their MTV era moving

1070
01:08:40.479 --> 01:08:43.800
forward to present, I think that's
the best thing that they wrote for sure.

1071
01:08:44.720 --> 01:08:48.479
Um So when I got into Arrow, you know, my sister comes

1072
01:08:48.560 --> 01:08:53.439
up all the time on this podcast
and how she just that three year difference

1073
01:08:53.840 --> 01:08:58.520
was a huge difference musically, and
I think with her Columbia Records and tapes

1074
01:08:58.600 --> 01:09:01.640
or whatever, she got aeros Smith
Rock and a Hard Place, which was

1075
01:09:01.760 --> 01:09:06.479
not a good time for Aerosmith.
Joe Perry is not in the band.

1076
01:09:08.039 --> 01:09:12.279
There's a guy in the band that
Joe Perry thanks in the Rock and Roll

1077
01:09:12.319 --> 01:09:15.560
Hall of Fame. Induction ceremony,
thanks him for you know, like filling

1078
01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:18.840
in and quitting or doing whatever.
Somehow how Tyler and Perry got back together,

1079
01:09:19.199 --> 01:09:23.039
but from that album, which was
a horrible album. The only thing

1080
01:09:23.079 --> 01:09:26.439
worse is Done with Mirrors after that, but there's a song on there called

1081
01:09:26.439 --> 01:09:30.840
When the Lightning Strikes, and that
was my introduction to Aerosmith. You know,

1082
01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:33.760
I'm sure classic rock who was you
know, was playing some stuff and

1083
01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:38.960
dream On was on, and I'm
sure I heard of Aerosmith, But listening

1084
01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:42.680
to a song over and over again
When the Lightning Strikes off of that album,

1085
01:09:43.079 --> 01:09:45.239
it's amazing, and it's it's bad
because there's no Joe Perry on it.

1086
01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:51.479
So that's my number five. My
number four is Toys in the Attic,

1087
01:09:51.600 --> 01:09:59.239
the title track. Really absolutely love
Toys in the Attic and the chant,

1088
01:09:59.560 --> 01:10:01.319
the call, the response and all
of that, and I think I

1089
01:10:01.359 --> 01:10:05.359
think Joe Perry just fucking shreds on
that. So that is my number four.

1090
01:10:06.640 --> 01:10:15.119
My number three is Sweet Emotion.
Yeah, again for everything that you

1091
01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:18.399
said and that I said, I
think that song just the sound of it,

1092
01:10:18.399 --> 01:10:21.319
it just I don't think it sounds
old. I don't think it sounds

1093
01:10:21.319 --> 01:10:26.279
like an old song. It's really
weird to me. And the one thing

1094
01:10:26.319 --> 01:10:30.119
that is different about that song is
Tyler doesn't go up to that high register

1095
01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:34.079
in sweet Emotion. He just sings
it. Yep. Normally he likes to

1096
01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:39.079
flex and show you where he can
do and yea God and doing all that

1097
01:10:39.079 --> 01:10:42.560
shit, and he doesn't do that
on that song. And don't get me

1098
01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:44.880
wrong, I like when Tyler does
that. I like him stretching his voice.

1099
01:10:44.960 --> 01:10:47.159
He's got an amazing voice, but
he doesn't do it on that song.

1100
01:10:47.520 --> 01:10:50.720
And I think that's one of the
reasons why I really like it too,

1101
01:10:50.880 --> 01:11:00.760
because it sounds different sweet emotion then
uh Kings and Queen's in at two

1102
01:11:01.000 --> 01:11:04.920
from Draw the Line and my number
one all time favorite, which they still

1103
01:11:05.000 --> 01:11:13.199
do live every show. Lord of
the Thighs. Yeah, my absolute favorite

1104
01:11:13.439 --> 01:11:18.039
Aerosmith song nineteen seventy four from Get
Your Wings, Um. Lord of the

1105
01:11:18.079 --> 01:11:24.680
Thighs is just the fucking groove of
that song. I don't know that it

1106
01:11:24.720 --> 01:11:28.279
was released as a single, but
I think they play it every live show.

1107
01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:30.960
I think it's a it's a staple
in their live set. Fun fact

1108
01:11:33.199 --> 01:11:38.760
the Breeders Cannonball, I know you
know that song yeah, play it.

1109
01:11:39.399 --> 01:11:44.520
The B side is a cover of
Lord of the Flies. No way,

1110
01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:48.720
I'm talking about a real B side
to the forty five, right, Yeah,

1111
01:11:48.760 --> 01:11:50.600
they did it. They did a
cover of it. So they do

1112
01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:54.720
a pretty good cover of that song. Yeah. Back in the day.

1113
01:11:55.560 --> 01:11:58.800
See, Aerosmith had the whole package
that when you think about it, man,

1114
01:11:58.880 --> 01:12:00.159
they had They had all of it, man, And then they had

1115
01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:04.199
the great logo, you know that
the wings and shit and the A and

1116
01:12:04.279 --> 01:12:08.279
stuff, and I mean they just
had the whole thing. Um. What

1117
01:12:08.359 --> 01:12:11.840
I wanted to bring up was their
second phase. They were one of those

1118
01:12:11.880 --> 01:12:14.960
bands that kind of slid through and
was still getting a lot of airplay,

1119
01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:18.199
mostly because of MTV. You know, Get a Grip was ninety three?

1120
01:12:18.319 --> 01:12:21.000
What the fun was going on in
nineteen ninety three? What we've talked about

1121
01:12:21.039 --> 01:12:26.199
to death on this podcast is grunge
ninety one gets going, you know.

1122
01:12:26.279 --> 01:12:29.439
But there were still some of those
bands, like Van Halen had an album

1123
01:12:29.479 --> 01:12:32.119
that was out still being played on
the radio. Their four Unlawful Cardinal Knowledge

1124
01:12:32.119 --> 01:12:35.680
album came out I believe in ninety
one. Maybe this was being played so

1125
01:12:35.720 --> 01:12:40.039
you still this wasn't the end game, you know what I mean? The

1126
01:12:40.079 --> 01:12:42.199
Aerosmith was still getting through. But
then after that, I think that was

1127
01:12:42.199 --> 01:12:44.479
it. After Get a Grip,
I think that was that was kind of

1128
01:12:44.479 --> 01:12:47.119
where that fell off for them.
As far as airplay, they had achieved,

1129
01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:50.520
but they had achieved a level that
they were they could just stay there.

1130
01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:55.479
They you know, they were they
were going to play arenas moving forward.

1131
01:12:55.640 --> 01:13:00.960
After the success Permanent Vacation, Pump
and what you said, Yea,

1132
01:13:01.079 --> 01:13:06.600
then that solidified they don't have to
do anything else. They're they're going to

1133
01:13:06.680 --> 01:13:13.520
play arenas forever. That was it. They didn't need that's it. They

1134
01:13:13.720 --> 01:13:16.520
had already done enough. Their catalog
was just stupid, and they were already

1135
01:13:16.520 --> 01:13:19.760
one of the great American rock bands
of all time. The best come the

1136
01:13:19.800 --> 01:13:25.359
greatest comeback ever, you know,
because it's just the best comeback ever.

1137
01:13:25.640 --> 01:13:27.479
I mean, I know that people
are gonna say, well, what do

1138
01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:30.039
you think about you know, the
transition from Roth to Sammy Hagar. It

1139
01:13:30.159 --> 01:13:33.039
wasn't come back. It was a
different thing. It was a different thing.

1140
01:13:33.159 --> 01:13:38.199
It was a different singer. And
that needs to be said about Aerosmith.

1141
01:13:39.239 --> 01:13:44.680
Except for right now with Joey Kramer
being out, that band has stayed

1142
01:13:44.720 --> 01:13:49.199
together. I talked about you know, Joe Perry left the Joe Perry Project.

1143
01:13:49.279 --> 01:13:53.479
Stuff I didn't I couldn't get into. I did pick a song from

1144
01:13:53.560 --> 01:13:59.600
Rock in a Hard Place. But
think about that original lineup. That's everybody

1145
01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:02.079
in the bay. They're all original
members. They figured it out somehow.

1146
01:14:02.520 --> 01:14:06.319
That's insane. Yeah, that's insanity
that you know, from the bass player

1147
01:14:06.319 --> 01:14:11.119
to the rhythm guitar player to the
main guitar cup everybody, they're all original

1148
01:14:11.119 --> 01:14:14.880
players. You know. They played
jazz Fest a few years ago and my

1149
01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:16.760
son was with us and I said, dude, I said, you're about

1150
01:14:16.760 --> 01:14:20.640
to see a clinic on how fucking
rock and roll is done. I said,

1151
01:14:20.640 --> 01:14:23.640
You're about to see a goddamn clinic. He's like, what do you

1152
01:14:23.640 --> 01:14:26.720
mean. I go just watch.
I go, just fucking watch. How

1153
01:14:27.079 --> 01:14:32.600
unbelievably cool these guys are. It's
hard to get. I don't love Aerosmith,

1154
01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:35.560
but there was a moment in time
and I think, I don't know

1155
01:14:35.560 --> 01:14:38.479
if it was dream On, I
don't know. He starts off with the

1156
01:14:38.520 --> 01:14:41.479
piano. I forget which song it
was. They bring out this huge white

1157
01:14:41.479 --> 01:14:45.920
piano way to the front of the
stage and Tyler's sitting down playing it and

1158
01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:49.119
he's singing, and then it kicks
in and fucking Joe Perry comes walking out,

1159
01:14:49.439 --> 01:14:54.439
steps up on top of the fucking
piano and just shreds the solo,

1160
01:14:54.600 --> 01:14:58.600
hair blowing, fucking gold chains and
scars. And I'm just sitting there going

1161
01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:03.199
like that. That is about as
cool as you're ever gonna fucking see it

1162
01:15:03.239 --> 01:15:09.600
done right there? Yeah, I
mean so fucking cool. Slash after he

1163
01:15:09.640 --> 01:15:14.279
gets done. After Slash gets done
with November Rain and he walks up and

1164
01:15:14.319 --> 01:15:16.479
steps on the piano when that song's
over, he should go to the side

1165
01:15:16.479 --> 01:15:20.520
of the stage and fucking make out
a check to Joe Perry mail it to

1166
01:15:20.600 --> 01:15:25.119
him. Every time he steps on
top of that piano. He should send

1167
01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:28.720
a check to fucking Joe Perry.
You're right. I never thought of that,

1168
01:15:28.760 --> 01:15:32.439
you're right, But Joe Perry.
He worships Joe Perry. Like I

1169
01:15:32.479 --> 01:15:34.960
said, I think the Rocks album, which is why we're doing this.

1170
01:15:35.000 --> 01:15:41.600
We're celebrating what forty some years of
the Rocks album nineteen seventy six. They

1171
01:15:41.640 --> 01:15:45.199
released Rocks so forty seven years ago
today, and I know that I've heard

1172
01:15:45.199 --> 01:15:50.479
Slash say that that was one of
his formative albums. So they just influenced

1173
01:15:50.479 --> 01:15:55.920
everybody. They influenced everybody. Yeah, and one of my favorite Saturday Live

1174
01:15:56.000 --> 01:16:00.319
moments of all time was the Wayne's
World and they worshiped with Aerosmith showed up

1175
01:16:00.359 --> 01:16:03.479
and you've probably remember seeing it,
and Tom Hanks was on that episode and

1176
01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:08.159
he was their roadie and he's setting
up and the whole band ends up in

1177
01:16:08.159 --> 01:16:10.880
the basement with Wayne and Garth and
I just remember watching it that night,

1178
01:16:10.920 --> 01:16:15.439
going, holy fuck, this is
unbelievable because that's what Wayne's World were at

1179
01:16:15.479 --> 01:16:18.760
their peak. Powers Errol Smith was
back. It was like the coolest shit

1180
01:16:18.840 --> 01:16:23.560
that ever happened. Tom Hanks is
the roadie. He gets on the mic

1181
01:16:23.680 --> 01:16:30.079
and he's like check check sibilants,
sibilants one. Two. He says,

1182
01:16:30.079 --> 01:16:35.079
sibilants sibilants. It says the mic. It's the funniest fucking thing ever.

1183
01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:39.520
It's one of the great all time
moments on Saturday Night Live way because you're

1184
01:16:39.520 --> 01:16:42.079
like, you know, if you're
a Wayne's World fan, you wanted that

1185
01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:45.239
to show up every week, and
when it did, you were excited,

1186
01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:47.600
but you knew they always wanted Arrowsmith. When Aerosmith walked down those fucking steps,

1187
01:16:47.720 --> 01:16:51.000
and that shitty basement. You're just
like, oh, like you've felt

1188
01:16:51.039 --> 01:16:54.720
it. You felt it for those
guys, You're like, no way.

1189
01:16:54.800 --> 01:16:59.119
So yeah, Errol Smith again not
my favorite band, but a clinic when

1190
01:16:59.159 --> 01:17:00.319
they're on stage, and I'm hoping
they pull it off on this tour.

1191
01:17:00.399 --> 01:17:02.439
I hope it really goes well for
him because I want to see even go

1192
01:17:02.479 --> 01:17:09.520
out big. You know, they're
playing Dallas, they're playing Austin, they're

1193
01:17:09.520 --> 01:17:14.119
playing San Antonio. Jesus, They're
not Houston. They're not playing Houston.

1194
01:17:14.720 --> 01:17:18.680
How I don't know. Their drummer
is from Houston. The guy that's filling

1195
01:17:18.720 --> 01:17:23.880
in the drum tech, he's from
Houston. Again, they're not gonna play

1196
01:17:23.920 --> 01:17:26.760
it because of him. They're not
gonna just come here, but they're not

1197
01:17:26.800 --> 01:17:30.680
playing here. It's infuriating to me, you know, because I want to.

1198
01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:34.119
I do want to see him one
last time. Stephen Tyler is fucking

1199
01:17:34.239 --> 01:17:39.920
seventy five years old, seventy five, can still fucking sing his ass off

1200
01:17:40.760 --> 01:17:45.880
and still can move around. Um, just the elephant in the room right

1201
01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:49.079
now, they're Stairway to Heaven his
dream on. Neither one of us had

1202
01:17:49.119 --> 01:17:54.920
it in the top five. It's
a fucking amazing song. It's an amazing

1203
01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:58.279
song, It's great. Why is
it not on either one of our top

1204
01:17:58.319 --> 01:18:00.760
five lists? Did? I work
classic for many many, many many years,

1205
01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:04.520
and it's one of those things it's
just I cannot It's just been beaten

1206
01:18:04.560 --> 01:18:08.119
into my DNA and I'm like,
I can't, I can't, I can't

1207
01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:10.119
do it. It's like eating one
of the egg of cookies. You don't

1208
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:13.039
want to eat those fucking favorite cookies
after a while, you know. Maybe

1209
01:18:13.239 --> 01:18:19.000
my favorite top five lists in the
history of this podcast was best closing songs

1210
01:18:19.039 --> 01:18:25.960
in a movie, And the one
that we both missed was Miracle. The

1211
01:18:26.119 --> 01:18:31.560
Miracle on Ice movie yea, and
the closing credits where they show the guy

1212
01:18:31.960 --> 01:18:36.840
and who played him in the movie
and they're playing and they're playing dream on

1213
01:18:36.960 --> 01:18:42.680
and the closing credits and it's one
of the best fucking closers ever, And

1214
01:18:42.840 --> 01:18:45.239
neither one of us handed on our
list. No, why would we do?

1215
01:18:45.640 --> 01:18:51.359
And it just still I didn't put
it in my top five. It's

1216
01:18:51.399 --> 01:18:56.520
Stairway to Heaven. Yeah, it's
It's America's Stairway to Heaven. Yeah,

1217
01:18:56.560 --> 01:19:00.520
that's a good one. That that
is true. That is I would agree

1218
01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:03.640
with that. Yeah, absolutely absolutely, we should do a We should really

1219
01:19:03.640 --> 01:19:05.600
do a top five. Maybe we
have. I'll have to go back and

1220
01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:09.920
check our notes, but a top
five frontmen, I don't know if we've

1221
01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:13.399
done that one, you know what
I mean? A top five frontmen of

1222
01:19:13.439 --> 01:19:15.399
all time would be a beating because
we would there would be a four hour

1223
01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:19.399
podcast. You gotta ask Jordan Welch
in the Machine Hill. Now we have

1224
01:19:19.439 --> 01:19:23.199
to take that his spreadsheets out,
I guess and get all that straight now.

1225
01:19:23.239 --> 01:19:25.039
But anyway, Yeah, no,
that was good. I have to

1226
01:19:25.199 --> 01:19:28.439
I'm gonna spend some time listening to
Marroosmith this week for sure. Now that's

1227
01:19:28.439 --> 01:19:32.479
what I wrote down. I wrote
down Angel crying amazing, don't want to

1228
01:19:32.520 --> 01:19:36.960
miss a thing one song. Yeah, but I do like Angel. I

1229
01:19:38.159 --> 01:19:40.399
always liked that song. It was
always cool. But you're right, they're

1230
01:19:40.399 --> 01:19:44.039
all basically the same song. It's
one song to me. They've got in

1231
01:19:44.079 --> 01:19:45.479
the ballot, but they were,
they were still playing the formula. They're

1232
01:19:45.479 --> 01:19:47.920
still doing the formula. Gotta have
the ballot. You gotta have the song

1233
01:19:47.960 --> 01:19:50.439
where the chicks are going to show
up to the concert, then the dude

1234
01:19:50.439 --> 01:19:54.600
show up and everybody makes a ton
of money, so they were still following

1235
01:19:54.640 --> 01:19:58.600
the game, Rod, I think
we wrap this thing up, man.

1236
01:19:58.880 --> 01:20:02.600
Any final thoughts, yes, if
anybody is still listening, my gift to

1237
01:20:02.640 --> 01:20:12.079
you, my final thoughts is google
Stephen Tyler's feet. Oh no, no,

1238
01:20:12.640 --> 01:20:16.439
don't do that. There you go
it. That's it. That's it.

1239
01:20:17.319 --> 01:20:24.520
That's my gift to you today.
If you're still listening, google Steven

1240
01:20:24.640 --> 01:20:30.199
Tyler's feet, Okay, and then
maybe you'll understand a little bit better why

1241
01:20:30.199 --> 01:20:38.920
this is going to be their last
fucking tour. He's got some feat there

1242
01:20:38.960 --> 01:20:44.560
could be we could almost do our
own version of the reaction videos to the

1243
01:20:44.560 --> 01:20:48.439
two girls one Cup. Remember that
video and then the thing that came out

1244
01:20:48.479 --> 01:20:55.079
after that was just videotaping people watching
what they were looking at. Yep,

1245
01:20:55.159 --> 01:20:59.439
the reaction. I really think we
could do a whole series of reactionary videos

1246
01:20:59.479 --> 01:21:02.600
of people googling Steven Tyler's feet.
Yeah, yeah, he's got elephant man

1247
01:21:02.600 --> 01:21:08.600
feet. They're they're gross. It
just meant it. That's it. Help

1248
01:21:08.640 --> 01:21:13.680
yourself if that's something that you you
trust me enough to go and do what

1249
01:21:13.800 --> 01:21:16.079
you got For final thoughts, nothing
I can tell you what I'm not gonna

1250
01:21:16.079 --> 01:21:20.039
do is Google Steven Tyler's feet,
just do it. I won't do that.

1251

you. Man, I I've said in

1259
01:21:49.680 --> 01:21:53.800
a thousand times, but I love
doing this podcast for the sure fact that

1260
01:21:53.800 --> 01:21:58.279
it's selfish for me. I get
to go discover songs I didn't know about.

1261
01:21:58.760 --> 01:22:00.520
You know what I mean. It's
it's really on that way, like

1262
01:22:00.520 --> 01:22:03.399
you bring up some and sometimes you
win, sometimes you lose. Still stuck

1263
01:22:03.399 --> 01:22:05.720
on Harry Styles. I actually heard
the song the other day and I was

1264
01:22:05.720 --> 01:22:10.760
like, God, damn it,
Rod, Thanks Rod, Thanks Rod.

1265
01:22:11.039 --> 01:22:14.600
Like I'm I'm a little bit sweet
on old Harry Man. Now he was

1266
01:22:14.640 --> 01:22:16.239
somebody I would go see. I
would like to see him perform. I

1267
01:22:16.279 --> 01:22:21.000
think Harry be great. Yeah,
it's a million dollars a ticket. It's

1268
01:22:21.319 --> 01:22:27.720
one million dollars per ticket to go
see that fuck face perform live. Hey,

1269
01:22:27.760 --> 01:22:30.720

suits, he wears diamonds on him. So anyway, dude, all right,
