1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,319
Speaker 1: So we've got a couple of gentlemen here, one of

2
00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:07,000
whom is very very colorfully dressed. But we have Larry

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,679
from Loud Entertainment is here. Good morning, Larry, good morning,

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,560
How are you good? Good? And you're your associate here.

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,880
And by the way, for those of you, for those

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,920
of you who are listening to the show, because obviously

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,160
this is first and foremost a radio show, but if

8
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:21,120
you are just listening to the audio, I do implore

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,920
you go back and check out the video because we

10
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,160
have mister I'm not sure your last name, Baboovich, Baboo Figure,

11
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:34,359
Rich Fikovich, Pico Rich. I feel like there's an accent

12
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:37,119
there that I can't replicate. But welcome, sir, Thank you, sir.

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, and thank you for allowing us in today.

14
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:42,359
Speaker 1: Absolutely no, it's wonderful, too wonderful to meet you both.

15
00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:45,840
So uh, we should and you know, we'll circle back

16
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:47,399
back to it at the end, but I think kind

17
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:49,920
of probably priority number one, at least for people listening

18
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,000
live on Saturday, is you all got a big show tonight?

19
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: Right?

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: Yes, sure, we absolutely do. We got coming up tonight.

21
00:00:57,079 --> 00:00:59,719
We have a Metallica tribute along with the God Smack

22
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:02,240
Trip at the Jewel right here in Manchester.

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, right across the street from where we are.

24
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: You can throw stones at it.

25
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, you you literally could. Yeah. Absolutely. So

26
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,120
that's uh tonight. What time does that start?

27
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: Doors open at seven? Show starts at eight. Tickets are

28
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:15,200
available at the door.

29
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: Now is it is it two different bands? Or are they?

30
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,439
Is it one band tribute to both?

31
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: Oh?

32
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,359
Speaker 1: Okay, oh, very cool, very cool? Now, you do you

33
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,879
do a lot of tribute shows, right.

34
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 3: We do. We probably put on at least fifty shows

35
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:28,319
a year.

36
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,719
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, so you got something pretty much every week then, yeah.

37
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:35,079
Speaker 3: Pretty much. Sometimes next week we got three nights in

38
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:35,480
a row.

39
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Oh no kidding. Wow, So that's kind of I feel

40
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,159
like that's kind of your specialty, right, But it's not

41
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,760
the only thing. Because you know, you're involved in Swarmy Fest.

42
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:45,799
We should mention that too. Yep, you're the promoter for

43
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:48,239
a Swarmy Fest coming up November fifteenth. That wore my

44
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,200
I wore my Stepsis shirt of course, the new one

45
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,200
that they gave me last week. Yeah, this will be uh,

46
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,159
you know, this show, not the station, but this show specifically.

47
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,959
We're one of the sponsors involved in that, and Jay

48
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,560
and I always we always look forward to Swarmyfest every year.

49
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:06,719
So this is going to be great and how but

50
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:09,360
this is your this is your first year Loud Entertainments,

51
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,520
first year involved in that, correct.

52
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: In Swimmy Fish.

53
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,719
Speaker 1: Yeah great, So how did that come about? I'm really curious.

54
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:19,080
It's it's a wonderful thing to be a part of,

55
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:20,879
but to be you know, that's but you've got a

56
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,280
little extra responsibility, right because like Jenny and I just

57
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:25,840
have to show up and kind of represent what we

58
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,120
do and whatnot. But as the promoter, you know, you've

59
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,240
got a lot on your shoulders rights as the promoters

60
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,680
of the show.

61
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, there's a lot of organization organizing things that

62
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,919
particular show has. It's not just a show, I should say,

63
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,479
it's not just a concert. It is actually a show. Yeah,

64
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,120
we're going to bring a lot of different acts in

65
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:45,280
and do some different things and you know, we try

66
00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:48,039
to bring you know, bring different people in and have

67
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,879
a good time. And the more the merrier on that one.

68
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So how long has loud entertainment existed? And

69
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,000
and and have have both of you been because baboo,

70
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,840
you're your part. I mean, are you partners in this.

71
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: Or are you There are three of us involved in it,

72
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,479
were other gentleman named Joe Gun.

73
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: It's okay, okay, So so you've been you've both been

74
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:17,240
there from the beginning. Obviously you guys started you started it.

75
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: We were actually doing a show at Default and uh,

76
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,960
I at that point, I didn't know mister Bab. Yeah,

77
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,680
and he walked in the room and I was sitting

78
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,719
there with my girlfriend and.

79
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,719
Speaker 1: She said, I assume I assume you noticed him right away.

80
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:32,479
Speaker 3: Well she did. Yeah, she said to me, see that

81
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,520
guy over there. I said, yeah. She said, that's the

82
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,039
way a promoter should be dressed.

83
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: Nice.

84
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:40,039
Speaker 3: So later on, after the show, there was a local

85
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,639
band playing at a bar not five down the road,

86
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,120
and uh, we went over there to see that after

87
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:48,639
we were done, and mister Bab walked in again. Yeah,

88
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,439
so I call her, sent him an email the next day.

89
00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:53,840
He sent me one back, and I mean, we've been

90
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:56,879
pretty good friends since well I shouldn't even say good friends.

91
00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:58,639
We talked daily, so every day.

92
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: Excellent, excellent. So then how did uh, I mean, did

93
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,280
one of you pitch the idea to the other for

94
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,960
loud entertainment or how did that happen?

95
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: Well, that was doing our rebe once you tell him

96
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,039
what's up with that? Which one on the question he just.

97
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:17,079
Speaker 1: Asked about Loud Entertainment, Like, how did the two of you?

98
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,279
I mean it sounds like you became fast friends. But

99
00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:21,680
then how did Loud Entertainment come into existence?

100
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: Well, Loud was doing shows and then as as Larry mentioned,

101
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,720
we kind of met up at this little bar after

102
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,399
a gig at at the ball okay, and he proposed

103
00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:34,040
that I do all of their events and m see

104
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:37,759
everything that they do. Oh, okay, which is Gemini, Christmas

105
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,199
a lot.

106
00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

107
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: And I was, you know, slipping around getting here dribs

108
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,360
and drabs, you know ones he twoesies. Now I'm getting

109
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:51,240
like three nights in a given week. Yeah. I know

110
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,399
some bands that you know, they'll do over one hundred

111
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,160
gigs a year.

112
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:55,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

113
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: I see us in twenty twenty six being there. Yeah,

114
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,199
and he sat at the latest.

115
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

116
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of venues that are closing. There's

117
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:10,199
a couple of them that are that we're losing, and

118
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,000
that will mean that the bands will have better, better attendance,

119
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,079
I believe, because there's a lot of people out there

120
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,639
for these tribute bands to get a foothold.

121
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: I try. I try to say all the time that

122
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:26,920
you know, at our age doing these tribute bands, you know,

123
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,240
half of us have passed away. The other half never

124
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:31,800
came back to music. So there's a small piece of

125
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,839
pie to split up when there's nineteen shows going on

126
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,680
within one hundred miles of each other, right, yeah, everybody

127
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,199
gets everybody gets a few. Yeah, so when you do

128
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,319
get that show with one hundred and fifty two hundred

129
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:44,639
people in a small club, you actually had a good night,

130
00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:46,480
because that's that's accomplishing something.

131
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. I hate to see venues closing though, that's

132
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,800
that's terrible.

133
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: One of the one of the big ones out on

134
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,600
the what is that the boat? The boat, the boat

135
00:05:57,639 --> 00:05:58,160
is closing.

136
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,199
Speaker 1: It's cool though that like you guys take the attitude

137
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:04,639
of well, you know, it's it's terrible when venues closed,

138
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:07,040
but you know you got to find the silver linings, right,

139
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,000
so show must go on. Yep, yep.

140
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely, There's never been more tribute pans now never ever. Ever.

141
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,480
The first tribute band that I knew it was way

142
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,319
back in the early eighties, was called Surgical Steel and

143
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:23,720
they were copying Judish Priest. Yeah, and that was the

144
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:26,920
only tribute Pan then, but now Gimani Christmas. There's a

145
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,439
Linda ronstant One that's up at the two below.

146
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

147
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,079
Speaker 2: Ah, these tribute bands come out. We just got through

148
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,079
having a couple of really great country western trips down

149
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,399
at the Plymouth Memorial Hall, which we're going to be

150
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,600
doing shows later on this year again excellent and some

151
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:45,079
country events. We found out that there's a lot of

152
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:47,480
people out there that you know, I know, you're a

153
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,920
rock station, but there are a lot of country fans

154
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,360
out there.

155
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:52,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. We have actually our our guests in our

156
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,399
number two, Matt Axton. He's white accent son. Oh my,

157
00:06:56,639 --> 00:06:57,920
so we got it. We got a country act in

158
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:00,800
the second hour today as a matter of act. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

159
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:02,120
we're having a little bit.

160
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:07,519
Speaker 3: We love all types of music, all genres, you know. Yeah,

161
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,439
do what we can to help out no matter what

162
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:09,800
it is.

163
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,199
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, So why why is it? Why do

164
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,240
you guys think there are more attribute bands than ever

165
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:16,800
right now?

166
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: What?

167
00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:19,519
Speaker 1: What? What's the reason for that? Do you think? I mean,

168
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,079
is is there something that's driving that?

169
00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: Or yeah, they want to be musicians and they want

170
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,519
to work.

171
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, because you can. You can really make

172
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:32,079
a living doing that, right, Sure you can. Yeah yeah, but.

173
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:35,399
Speaker 2: You also got realized that the competition is very rough.

174
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:35,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

175
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:38,279
Speaker 2: There's a couple of bands out there that do well.

176
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,360
A guy named Miguel and Kalvis runs a band called

177
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:44,279
Back in Black. They really do well. They're a C

178
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,759
d C all over New England all the way to

179
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,519
Western PA. Then there's a band called Crazy Train Ozzy Experience.

180
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:53,759
These cats go on Hawaii.

181
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:54,519
Speaker 1: Now.

182
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,279
Speaker 2: Granted Ozzy just passed and the righting the crest of

183
00:07:57,319 --> 00:08:01,160
the wave, but they just got through performing for like

184
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,240
eight thousand people.

185
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:02,879
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

186
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: Uh, they're they're all over the place now and they're

187
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,319
coming down to.

188
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:11,199
Speaker 3: The Jewel and the Jewel, I mean not to duel.

189
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:14,079
Excuse me, They're coming down to the Vault next Saturday night,

190
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,240
Crazy Train and uh who we got with them?

191
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,399
Speaker 2: Uh, sugar?

192
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,199
Speaker 3: Maybe there's so many shows on the schedule. Yeah, you

193
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,439
say it because it's oh, Crazy Training, White Steak, which

194
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:28,720
is the White Snake tribute. Those guys are hot too.

195
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,480
They are really good right now.

196
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:30,959
Speaker 1: Yeah.

197
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely, they're starting to get more and more, playing bigger

198
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,360
theaters and stuff.

199
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:37,919
Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, now how does it work? I suppose,

200
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,679
I don't know if as as the promoters, if if

201
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,440
you have to worry about this part, or it's more

202
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,879
of the band has to worry about this part these

203
00:08:44,879 --> 00:08:49,279
individual bands. But I've always been curious about because that's

204
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:52,120
not a with tribute bands. That's not a particular zone

205
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,200
I've ever had any involvement in, Like, how does that

206
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,080
work legally?

207
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: Like any other job? Because pay a tax?

208
00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:00,399
Speaker 1: No, but I mean, but I mean in terms of

209
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,759
intellectual property and whatnot, Like, do you do you know

210
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:06,480
any because I'm sure there's stories out there of bands

211
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,639
that are maybe doing a tribute a tribute act and

212
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,679
they get, you know, somebody kind of taps them on

213
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,240
the shoulder, sends them a season assist letter or something

214
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,440
saying we don't want you doing this and.

215
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,519
Speaker 3: You have to have original photos. Okay, use the word

216
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,919
tribute a lot when you're explaining your shows. Okay, we

217
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:26,879
just had a recent issue with our show that's going

218
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:30,120
on tonight. Oh, about two months ago, when we started

219
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,360
advertising the show, someone took our venue, our time, our date,

220
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:39,559
and posted real pictures of the real Godsmack on stump hub.

221
00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: Oh.

222
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:40,639
Speaker 1: Wow.

223
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 3: Actually, I started started getting calls from people and saying, hey,

224
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,159
we just paid three hundred and eighty dollars before tickets.

225
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,679
Oh my god, I'm like you crazy. So I'm actually

226
00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:54,600
letting them come tonight. Yeah, the people that don't have tickets,

227
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,919
I'm just going to give them a break at the door.

228
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,240
And they still got to you know, obviously they still

229
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,600
got to pay to come in, but I'm gonna tell

230
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:03,120
them that. I've already spoke to stump Hub and Stumphub

231
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,120
said to let the people that don't have valid tickets

232
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,519
to tell them to call them in the morning and

233
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,360
they will. They'll fix the situation. They can't do anything

234
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,720
about it until after the show.

235
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:16,279
Speaker 1: Okay, So somebody was pulling a scam. In other words, So, yeah,

236
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,399
they Upstate took your show, made it look like it

237
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,960
was the actual band. Yeah, and we actually got up Wow.

238
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 3: We actually got a phone call from like god Smacks

239
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:26,080
people and they're like, what are you guys doing. We're like, whoa,

240
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:29,320
that ain't us. I got a call from John over

241
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,600
at the Jewel and he said, what's going on? Why

242
00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:33,960
are you doing this? Yeah, he said, John, that's not us.

243
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,159
So we all looked into it and we ended up

244
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,600
figuring out that it was a scam.

245
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: Oh that's crazy. I can see how that would happen though. Wow.

246
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,519
So have you ever had a situation where a band

247
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,039
is supposed to play and they come to you and

248
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:48,080
they say, we've got a problem. We got a letter

249
00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:51,519
we heard from somebody's lawyer. Uh, that hasn't happened.

250
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:51,879
Speaker 2: That's good.

251
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: No, that's good.

252
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,519
Speaker 2: You know, And if you really think about it, these

253
00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:57,600
tribute bands are doing the bands that they're you know,

254
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,080
copying and on or because they're keeping their music, yes,

255
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,679
and they're helping sell their.

256
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: Product exactly exactly. Yeah. I often, you know, when the

257
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,919
subject of tribute bands come up. You know, my favorite

258
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:12,840
band of all time is Kiss, and I'm well aware

259
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:14,679
that because i've you know, I've read a lot of

260
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,080
books about this. How during the eighties when Kiss was

261
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,200
in their non makeup era, you know, these tribute bands

262
00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:24,360
started popping up of kissing full makeup, and Kiss has

263
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,879
always I've seen and heard a couple things that make

264
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,519
me think in recent years they might have changed their

265
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:35,720
policy slightly. But I know, for a long time, Kiss

266
00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:38,559
was really good about you know, they weren't going after anybody,

267
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,200
leave them alone, let them do their thing, because they're

268
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,759
actually helped. There was a Kiss tribute band in the

269
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,960
early nineties. I can't remember who it was, but there

270
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,639
was a guy from Boston who was in the band

271
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,399
who they they did like five thousand seats at a

272
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,759
tribute show in Canada, you know, doing the full makeup show.

273
00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:02,720
So it's it's like, you know, so they were making

274
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:05,840
money and you know it helps, you know, it helps

275
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:08,720
promote the band that they're a tribute of. But I

276
00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:10,919
do know too that there's like I remember a few

277
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,519
years ago, I think there was a story about Springsteen

278
00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:17,279
was harassing somebody who was doing a Springsteen show, saying

279
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,559
I don't want you doing But I don't know what

280
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,200
the you know, details were about that eater, and maybe

281
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,320
there was something that this guy was doing that that

282
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:28,279
Springsteen objected to specifically. I'm not sure, but I know

283
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,879
that you can run into trouble. But but it sounds

284
00:12:30,919 --> 00:12:32,720
like it's been pretty smooth for you guys overall.

285
00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:35,759
Speaker 2: Right, Well, you got to remember the master Marketer is

286
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,879
Geene Simmons. He's got one thing that I think it is,

287
00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:42,399
although a little bit harsh, very correct. He says if

288
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,919
if you think that money cannot buy you happiness, you've

289
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:51,600
never had money, right. True. He's the master marketer. He

290
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:54,600
makes money off of everything he touches, and he's happy.

291
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:57,000
He heck to have these kiss tributes out there. Yeah,

292
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,639
there's one that Larry and I know well, Kiss Story

293
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,039
with a guy named Vinnie, and Vinnie is spinning off

294
00:13:04,039 --> 00:13:06,600
a little bit into an Aussie trip that they call

295
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:07,240
Sweet Leave.

296
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:07,759
Speaker 1: Okay.

297
00:13:08,159 --> 00:13:10,759
Speaker 2: Vinnie's great. He's been a musician all his life. They're

298
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:13,279
over in the New York area, Western New York area

299
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,799
mostly so history hasn't come around. We're hoping we can

300
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,960
set something up. Oh yeah in the future.

301
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And if you do it in

302
00:13:21,159 --> 00:13:22,799
they're coming here. We'd love to get him on the show.

303
00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: Oh if we'd love get him in the studio. All

304
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:31,960
makeup and every they are bloody right on, I mean

305
00:13:32,039 --> 00:13:37,000
every aspect, boots everything, Kate, Yeah, perfect makeup.

306
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: They are the most the blood running from his mouth.

307
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if he does that breathing fire. I

308
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:46,600
don't believe he does that one. The pyrotechnic thing, and

309
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:50,480
that's kind of a gene thing. I mean, you hold

310
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,679
all the liquid in your mouth, you spew it out

311
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,080
and then you purse your lips because if you draw

312
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,320
back you can get a face full of fire.

313
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, who's the I mean, is there anyone

314
00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:09,720
you guys have booked who has particularly surprised you in

315
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,039
terms of just how good where you go? Wow?

316
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,799
Speaker 2: Absolutely, young band named Under the Horizon has been very,

317
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,960
very good.

318
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: We love we love them, and we should clarify to

319
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,960
for listeners who don't know that they're not a tribute,

320
00:14:23,799 --> 00:14:26,200
but there. We've had them on the show and Jenny

321
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,080
and I just saw them last well it was a

322
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,519
week ago today actually at Bad Burger Okay with Vices Inc.

323
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:33,600
And Plagued Dad.

324
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,279
Speaker 3: They've been making some noise. I mean, those kids, and

325
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,440
that guitarist is crazy. The drum is great yep. And

326
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,279
the girl she loosens up a little more every single show.

327
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,200
You find her doing something better and better and better,

328
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,759
and she's just growing along with the band. And it's

329
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,879
I mean, honestly, they're one of the better younger because

330
00:14:52,919 --> 00:14:54,720
they are really young. There ain't no one in the

331
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,519
band that's over eighteen. Yeah yeah, but we try to

332
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:00,000
put them in all our metal shows. We think they're great.

333
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

334
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,639
Speaker 3: I mean the dad, Mike Palmer. He's taking good care

335
00:15:04,679 --> 00:15:06,120
of them kids. He bought the bus.

336
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: He's pushing them a yellow school bus. They got a

337
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,440
yellow school bush. Yeah, the horizon on the side. It's

338
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:11,919
really great.

339
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, take you back in time when they

340
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,600
used to just travel around and a bus together. You know.

341
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,840
Every time they pull up to a show, I'm waiting

342
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,679
for the Pocas family to come back.

343
00:15:21,039 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: Right right. They've gotten heavier too than when they started.

344
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,000
The first time Jenny and I saw them live, it

345
00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:28,960
was right after they were on this show and we

346
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,559
went I think it was that same weekend we went

347
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,639
and saw them at the Tupelo. They were opening for

348
00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:34,120
was it Great White?

349
00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: They're doing that again?

350
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I can't remember it was Great White.

351
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,559
Speaker 3: It was they're actually opening up a Great White again

352
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:41,440
in a couple of weeks.

353
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: The reason I couldn't remember is because Jenny and I

354
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,960
went to that show, but we just stayed for Under

355
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,679
the Horizon and they were where, you know, we just

356
00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:48,080
wanted to see them, and they were kind of.

357
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: Like another great band that we're working with and see

358
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:53,360
a lot of potential with. There's a new band kind

359
00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:55,840
of new Stone Crusher. I don't know.

360
00:15:55,879 --> 00:15:56,559
Speaker 1: I don't know them.

361
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,559
Speaker 2: They got a new album out. Their stuff is really

362
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,200
really hot.

363
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:00,639
Speaker 1: Okay.

364
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: The vocalist was named best vocalist in the local area

365
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:08,080
by a Worcester magazine. I can't remember exactly which magazine.

366
00:16:09,039 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: He's got some pipes, no doubt.

367
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, he's got one of the best. When

368
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,799
he hits the high notes, my toes.

369
00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:21,159
Speaker 1: Girl, really yeah nice. So a little bit of a

370
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,559
changing gear is baboo. I have to ask you because

371
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,960
Larry said was talking about I should ask you this

372
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,639
about the time you met Ozzie.

373
00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, excuse me. So there was a casino in

374
00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:38,600
King of Prussia, PA that he came to. Of all places,

375
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,639
he was five hours drive away from me, my idol,

376
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,799
my lifelong idol. You know all the places in no world,

377
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:45,679
he's five hours.

378
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

379
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,799
Speaker 2: So I went for all four days and I met

380
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:52,600
him several times, and the last day I met him.

381
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,559
But when I first come up to him, I was

382
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:57,360
kind of expecting him to go, oh, gosh, look there

383
00:16:57,399 --> 00:17:00,840
I am, and he kind of went ouh, geez, no no,

384
00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:05,359
but I have this coat on and he dug it

385
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,440
and he goes Sharon. Sharon goes, oh, see, you look

386
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,240
at this blouch coat. So I've got pitchers with Sharon too.

387
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:15,880
She doesn't even weigh eighty ninety pounds. I don't think

388
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,960
she's so tiny. Yeah, yeah, gosh. But when I met Ousie,

389
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,960
he could barely walk and he was sitting in a

390
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:26,119
chair where there was two hundred people to meet him.

391
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,799
Speaker 1: What year was this, roughly twenty twenty twenty three, twenty

392
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:31,319
twenty three.

393
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh okay, so being a pressure pa.

394
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, so this was fairly recent.

395
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very recent.

396
00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

397
00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:41,559
Speaker 2: So I got to sit by him, and I have

398
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,160
two rings that were custom made to copy. Is this

399
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,039
cross ring and this star ring? So he sees the

400
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:49,359
cross ring and he's fascinated with it and he says,

401
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,119
moin to gout, I said, of course, there's just cold.

402
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: You're Aussie.

403
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,319
Speaker 2: I got born man silver. But anyway, he's looking at

404
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,279
he can't see. He's pushing my hand down. My hand

405
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,200
is on his leg. Yeah, you're not supposed to touch these guys.

406
00:18:03,319 --> 00:18:04,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I.

407
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:07,559
Speaker 2: You know, shirk back and the guy on the other

408
00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:12,039
side starts laughing. The photographer starts screaming. Ozzy Ozzy won

409
00:18:12,079 --> 00:18:14,599
two three to tap the snap the picture, you get

410
00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:15,200
one shot.

411
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:15,759
Speaker 1: Okay.

412
00:18:16,519 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: So I got this shot of Ozzy and me grinning

413
00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:23,119
like hell and Ozzy looking at the photographer, and right

414
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,960
after the shot he goes, you wank and called him

415
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,599
matter a couple of times. Was not happy at all

416
00:18:29,599 --> 00:18:31,200
because he want to talk about this ring.

417
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,079
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so.

418
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,799
Speaker 2: The guy that was there, I hope I guess that

419
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:35,599
lanker on here.

420
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fine.

421
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: So anyway, the guy guy give us some time, and

422
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,079
Ozzy was fascinated where to come from talking about it.

423
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,119
Then he goes, look, Oz got two hundred people, we

424
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,200
got her, he's along. The last thing he said to

425
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,359
me was he goes, there's only two things that well,

426
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,720
Mike all got one. Hey you got the other?

427
00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: Wow?

428
00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 2: Three feet up the ground. I went and floated away.

429
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: Yeah that's pretty cool.

430
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: He was gonna come to Phoenix, Arizona and do another

431
00:19:08,759 --> 00:19:11,599
one of those things. Yeah, only an hour flight from

432
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:15,839
LA Yeah, in a lyrics yet you know, yeah, he

433
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,160
couldn't even do that. I bought tickets for that and

434
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,559
that one they didn't.

435
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,559
Speaker 1: Hold it and got canceled.

436
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 2: Hyeah, Yeah, and I couldn't afford to get over to

437
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,920
England for the last show. Yeah, I mean that.

438
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: Was just gosh, no doubt, no doubt, what a what

439
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,920
a way to go out though, like doing that show

440
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,200
and raising all that money for cancer research and for kids.

441
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,559
Speaker 2: And Ozzy was saying, man, everybody said he was black

442
00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:42,960
and dark, but he was very, very Christian.

443
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's funny. It's funny you mentioned

444
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,640
that because I remember, uh, he was on this was

445
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,680
years ago. He was on Alice Cooper's show, and uh,

446
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,720
some people might not know this about Alice Cooper, but

447
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:58,119
he's a devout Christian and I remember I remember at

448
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,839
the end of the interview Ozzie he kind of went

449
00:19:59,839 --> 00:20:01,720
out his way to say God bless you to Alice,

450
00:20:01,759 --> 00:20:04,680
and I thought, oh, that's interesting because you just don't

451
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,359
expect that necessarily. But but the but the character, you know,

452
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,680
the character of Ozzy Osbourne, you know obviously under that

453
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,160
was you know, you know, a really good guy. But

454
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,640
but I've always said, too Black Sabbath to me is

455
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,599
and this is not an original thought. Others have said

456
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,920
this too, but the most misunderstood band in in history,

457
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,920
you know what I mean, Like I think, actually I

458
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,079
think Ozzy said that once. You know, because if you

459
00:20:31,279 --> 00:20:34,480
if you perceive Sabbath as being like evil and dark,

460
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:38,240
and well, yeah they're dark, but but their songs are not.

461
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,200
They're not promoting anything. I don't think anyone really thinks

462
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,920
this now anyway, but back in the day, you know,

463
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,200
people who are afraid of it whatever. You know, they're

464
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,759
not promoting something satanic or anything. It's a you know,

465
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:51,519
it's a commentary on life and the world. And you know,

466
00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:54,480
war Pigs I think is one of the greatest anti

467
00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:58,519
war songs ever. But you know, if you go online

468
00:20:58,559 --> 00:20:59,960
and you look at you know, look up a list

469
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,319
of great anti war songs, you know, you he are

470
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,599
a lot of stuff from the you know, like more

471
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,079
of the from the hippies and whatnot, but you know,

472
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,000
you won't see war Pigs on that list. But it's like,

473
00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:12,720
why not. It's a fantastic anti war song in my opinion.

474
00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 3: Baboo spent a lot of time out on the road

475
00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:20,880
throughout his life, and he's met many, many big rock stars. Yeah,

476
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,759
and he's used to tell him how you got all

477
00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:25,079
your miles there, Baboo?

478
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I'm curious.

479
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: I used to work for an Arizona company called Arizona Instruments,

480
00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:35,599
and they sent me all over the world starting then

481
00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:38,200
I got a job with another company in Massachusetts called

482
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,920
Liquood Solids Control. Okay, they sent me all over, and

483
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,920
then I got my own company. I went all over.

484
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:47,599
But while I was working for Arizona Instruments, I was

485
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,839
in Canada with a green card, a gold American Express card,

486
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,880
Carte Blaunch, go wherever I want, no supervision, and Rush

487
00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:00,920
would be playing on Triumph these places down in the

488
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,160
United States with thousands of people.

489
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

490
00:22:04,079 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: In fact, I saw him in eighty three at the

491
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,440
US Festival in California. Triumph.

492
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,079
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

493
00:22:09,519 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: And so I was up in Canada and they were

494
00:22:12,759 --> 00:22:14,759
playing and I'd go see him. They couldn't even sell

495
00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:17,319
out five hundred seats, no kidding. In their own country

496
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,119
they were not as popular as the United States. Well, consequently,

497
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,200
I get up and get to meet the band, and

498
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,480
by time two years was over with, I knew the

499
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:29,559
band's brush and the band Triumph well enough that if

500
00:22:29,559 --> 00:22:32,359
there was a show in Cold Lake, Alberta, I found

501
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,839
a business reason to be there. I was in the

502
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:40,119
dressing room and I you know, I knew Neil parrot

503
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:44,039
very well. Really, he was well written, he was an author.

504
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,720
He was he was such an introvert. He didn't want

505
00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:49,599
to have a lot to do with people. Right the

506
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,880
show was over, he would run to the limo.

507
00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: I've always heard that about him from other people who

508
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,920
knew him. Yeah, that he Yeah, he was. He was

509
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,880
not comfortable with the fame part of being.

510
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: The only time he comes from behind his kit to

511
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:05,440
stand with the other guys in the band. Was the

512
00:23:05,559 --> 00:23:06,960
last show he ever played.

513
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

514
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 3: How many times have you chased kiss around the country?

515
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:13,839
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, my ex wife April was kissing on

516
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,839
a member like eight Yeah. Yeah, so team any Christmas

517
00:23:17,839 --> 00:23:21,119
if they came within five hundred bloody miles, I had

518
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,680
to go there, yep, and take her there and get

519
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,119
as good a tickets as we could afford. And back

520
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,240
in the eighties we spent five thousand dollars for a

521
00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:32,880
meet and greet. Wow, that was a lot of money then, yeah,

522
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,319
but a lot more then.

523
00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:35,039
Speaker 1: Yeah.

524
00:23:35,079 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 2: But they did it right. It was an hour. We

525
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:40,720
got to meet everybody in the band. Yeah, we got

526
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:44,519
They had food, they had drinks. They spent at least

527
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:47,480
fifteen twenty minutes with everybody in there. Yeah, we got

528
00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:50,400
all the pictures we wanted on our cell phones and such.

529
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: Yep.

530
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,519
Speaker 2: So I've got to say that Chris Kiss is one

531
00:23:54,519 --> 00:23:59,200
of the best marketing marketed bands out there.

532
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:02,559
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the most heavily merchandise band in history, I think.

533
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:03,960
I think the Beatles is number two.

534
00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:08,839
Speaker 2: Oh gem and Christmas you can buy Kiss casket, Kiss condoms.

535
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, with all the with all the time that

536
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:15,200
he spent out doing all this rock and roll stuff,

537
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,319
it's really a privilege to have him working for LOUD

538
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,480
because he knows you know, he knows a lot of people, people,

539
00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:24,599
especially in New England. Yeah, a lot of people are

540
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,079
starting to know who the baboo is. And yeah, we

541
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,000
have a great time with him. And I'm glad to

542
00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:33,119
have him Aboard, actually kind of took him, and he's

543
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,240
gonna be he's kind of the face of LOUD because

544
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,759
of his character and yeah that makes sense. Yeah, you

545
00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:40,920
got a little trading cards made up to the autographs,

546
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,759
and yeah, we're having a good time with it.

547
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 2: And that autograph card is gonna be worth so much

548
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,319
after I'm dead. Just it's gonna be worth its own

549
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,079
weight and papers.

550
00:24:50,799 --> 00:24:53,799
Speaker 1: If you're just joining us we've got Larry and a baboo.

562
00:25:27,519 --> 00:25:28,119

00:25:35,319 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: We're here in Manchester Lot and we're down at the

Frank Upolo. Okay, and there's a little plug for you, Frank.

570
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,599
Speaker 3: It was great. It was great to meet him. He

571
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,400
took like a half hour of his time. The other

572
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,680
night we went to his club to see this country

573
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,200
line dance thing that works out well for him. So

574
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,839
we went to check it out and he what gave

575
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,960
us about a full half hour of his time just

576
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,279
to talk about what everybody's doing. Yeah, he was Yeah,

577
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,359
what a guy, nice guy.

578
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,519
Speaker 2: Man, Frank's a whale in our polland yeah, yeah, he's

579
00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:14,799
definitely he's got that minors touch almost anything he touches.

580
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,799
Speaker 1: Now, what do you guys look for in terms of

581
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,400
venues to whole events? Like, like, are there are there

582
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,559
specific things that you.

583
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,599
Speaker 3: Depending on the popularity of the band kind of tells

584
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,400
you what size stity you're gonna need. Okay, it always

585
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,079
doesn't turn out that way. Sometimes, you know, sell out

586
00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:34,359
a smaller club is a better thing because it's a

587
00:26:34,519 --> 00:26:36,839
you've got a great show and yeah it's packed and

588
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,839
people are having fun.

589
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: Better to have a small room that's full, right, then

590
00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:42,400
it's then a big room that's exactly empty.

591
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: But you got Tribute South there, like, well you can

592
00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:46,880
help me out with this, but like get the let out.

593
00:26:47,519 --> 00:26:50,559
Oh they're killing it. They're killing it. The fifteen twenty

594
00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:53,680
thirty thousand people coming out to a tribute really yeah, wow,

595
00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:55,119
killing it all over the country.

596
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: Wow.

597
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 2: I held an event at the Plymouth Excuse Need the

598
00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:03,680
Lowell Memorial Theater. I was trying to get the Lead out,

599
00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:07,279
Get the Lead out, and they were seventy five hundred. Yeah,

600
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,920
within a month they were over ten thousand.

601
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,279
Speaker 1: Oh no kidding, Wow.

602
00:27:11,079 --> 00:27:14,079
Speaker 2: Within three months they were twenty. They sold out the

603
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,799
Red Rocks two nights in a row, really bad. Took

604
00:27:16,839 --> 00:27:19,680
them up to forty and I believe that Get the

605
00:27:19,759 --> 00:27:23,000
Lead Out is right around fifty thousand this show now,

606
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:26,519
And you know, it's really interesting because there's farmer members

607
00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:29,799
than led Zeppelin. They don't really even look like any

608
00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:32,720
of led Zeppelin members, but their music is very, very

609
00:27:32,759 --> 00:27:35,799
good and their promotion is top shelf.

610
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. So are they the most successful tribute band?

611
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,799
Speaker 2: I would believe so, Yeah, I can. I would think

612
00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:45,519
so because there's three that one completely unchained and yeah,

613
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,240
completely unchanged, killing the two and they're very confident about

614
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:49,920
what they can draw.

615
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 3: They come.

616
00:27:50,839 --> 00:27:53,759
Speaker 1: They do a great job in Allison chains tribute.

617
00:27:54,039 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: Uh, the one we know has Vani Okay, the Allison

618
00:27:58,839 --> 00:28:01,160
change band that we used a lot. It's called Nothing

619
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:07,640
Safe as a matter of fact, and November fifth, November twentieth,

620
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,559
maybe you'll have to look and look up Loud Entertainment.

621
00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:15,559
Look up Steve O and they're having a great Lane

622
00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:19,680
Staley tribute. Every year, Steve would fly out to Seattle

623
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,880
to do the vocals for a show out there that

624
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,960
they have that tributes Lane Staley, and Steve actually met

625
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,079
Lane Staley's mom and he has collaborated with all of

626
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,480
them to bring us a great show here in Boston

627
00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:36,799
at the Ballroom. And it's gonna be a nothing but

628
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,200
a tribute to Lane Staley. And it's gonna be it's

629
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,319
gonna be multiple artists on the stage doing things like

630
00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:45,400
songs in him and things for him, and one special

631
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,440
song for his mom. And yeah, it's gonna be a

632
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,880
great show. If you're here in Dallas and Chains and

633
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,200
you want to see the memorial, you're going to see

634
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,799
a really good a really good show.

635
00:28:55,079 --> 00:28:56,839
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, very cool.

636
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 3: Once again, it's not a concert, it's a show.

637
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah you know, Yeah, Yeah, I gotcha, I gotcha. Do

638
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,440
you guys have any advice for so you know, a

639
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,160
lot of musicians listen to the show, a lot of

640
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,799
industry people. That's that's kind of our niche audience. I think,

641
00:29:09,359 --> 00:29:12,160
do you have advice for if there's a musician listening

642
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,039
who wants to start a tribute band or maybe they

643
00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:17,839
want to do a solo tribute thing or whatever it is, Like, like,

644
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,680
do you have advice for how to get into it,

645
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,960
because obviously there's you know, when you're doing that and

646
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,319
you're kind of doing that in tribute to someone else's

647
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,839
artistic vision and they're what they've created. I mean, there's

648
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,759
there's probably there's probably mistakes that people make right when

649
00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:34,559
they try to do that.

650
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you put out a tribute to it's like,

651
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,039
you know, you gotta be good, you got to have

652
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,519
it down, yeah, because if you don't, it doesn't serve

653
00:29:43,559 --> 00:29:45,640
the purpose of what you're trying to do. Yeah, so

654
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,480
don't don't try to jump out too quick. Get yourself

655
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,160
together before you, you know, decide to take the stage

656
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,799
with someone else's name, so to speak. It's uh yeah, yeah.

657
00:29:55,759 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: Make sure you've really got them on it, because it

658
00:29:58,279 --> 00:30:01,720
can't do thisstribute stuff halfway right right?

659
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,799
Speaker 1: What about have you guys worked with anybody who who

660
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,559
doesn't do it, like who kind of puts their own

661
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:11,519
twist on it. Like I'll give you an example that

662
00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:12,960
I don't know if they're still around or not. But

663
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,759
there was a tribute band. I happened to find them

664
00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:17,079
on YouTube one time, a Kiss tribute band called Reason

665
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,319
to Kiss and they what but what they did because

666
00:30:20,599 --> 00:30:23,039
the name of the band was a play on the

667
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,680
song Reason to Live, which obviously came out during the

668
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,480
non makeup era. And what this band did was they

669
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,960
called the Reason to Kiss and it was they were

670
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,880
doing acoustic versions only of eighties non makeup era Kiss songs.

671
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,960
So there's really it's funny because some of these Kiss

672
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,359
tribute bands they find like this weird niche and it

673
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,599
was like, I was kind of fascinated by it. But

674
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,480
that's but they're obviously doing something different. They're doing Kiss,

675
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,599
but they're putting their own spin, their own twist on it.

676
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,599
I mean, have you guys worked with anybody who does that,

677
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,480
because there's a risk in doing that, right, because that

678
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,000
that can blow up in your face, Like, like, do

679
00:30:58,079 --> 00:30:59,480
any of the bands that you guys have worked with

680
00:30:59,519 --> 00:31:00,440
do anything like that?

681
00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: No?

682
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,519
Speaker 1: No, no, would you if you came across someone who

683
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:08,319
did do something like that, would you give him a

684
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,519
chance or would that be too.

685
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:11,359
Speaker 3: We're always wanting to give you a chance. You're just

686
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,839
gonna show us what you got. Yeah, we'll find a

687
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,519
stage for you. It's just you got to have it, right. Yeah.

688
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,799
Speaker 2: We being promoters, we can't be left with the bag.

689
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,440
I mean right. You know. So one of the reasons

690
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,799
that we've been able to get so far is because

691
00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:29,799
we've been able to work with some bands who nobody

692
00:31:29,799 --> 00:31:34,000
else at touch Yeah, and we go in a semi

693
00:31:34,039 --> 00:31:37,960
partnership with them, We say, look, this is it. We'll

694
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,599
split whatever happens to play for the door.

695
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:41,119
Speaker 1: Yep.

696
00:31:42,519 --> 00:31:45,359
Speaker 2: And some of the venues can't fill. We had the

697
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,680

711
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it just the two bands or is

712
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,920

Speaker 1: M who By the way, so what what band has

806
00:36:32,119 --> 00:36:34,480
the most like from what you've observed has the most

807
00:36:34,519 --> 00:36:38,599
tributes because I've always had the impression there's a lot

808
00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:40,639
of Motley Crue tribute bands. Am I am? I right

809
00:36:40,679 --> 00:36:42,840
about that? It seems it seems like they're a Motley Crew.

810
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:43,880
Tribute bands are everywhere.

811
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 3: Alison Chains too have a lot of them. Yeah, that's

812
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,280
it's saturated with Alice and Chains out there.

813
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:48,599
Speaker 1: Yeah.

814
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 3: Only there's a couple that are really good. But then

815
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,559
you know, you got some.

816
00:36:53,639 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 2: Some of the East coast outlets. That's the only that's

817
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,880
the only Alice band out here. There's only one on.

818
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,599
Speaker 3: The West coast out at something.

819
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,599
Speaker 2: Mike Carmo is freaking I go out with other people

820
00:37:05,679 --> 00:37:09,559
and when I went with Mike Carmo to see Alice Cooper,

821
00:37:10,159 --> 00:37:12,360
people were walking past me like I was.

822
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: A ghostly to get a picture with Alice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mike.

823
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 3: Mike's great. He puts on the whole act. It's so

824
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,199
theatrical up on the stage because he's acting out like
