<v Speaker 2>believe that this is just weirdness going on today and

14
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 2>I can't quite put my finger on it, but uh,

15
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, it happens. It happens. The old Pat Lynch

16
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:51.799
<v Speaker 2>would have had a meltdown right about now.

22
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>rock the bank cash to be had as well this hour.

23
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>The first keyword went out, a bit of go you

00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 2>can enter each go around as I've been doing since

29
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 2>the fan vote open for Rock and Roll Hall of

30
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Fame consideration last week to vote. You've got through the

31
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty first top five remain unchanged. Soundgarden in fifth, Cindy

32
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Laupper fourth, Billy Idol third, Bag Company, second, and Fish.

33
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 2>It looks like the Fish fans are going to keep

34
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Fish out front for the duration of the fan vote. Now,

35
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 2>which of the fan vote artists will end up making

36
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>the final cut, we'll find out. That's just part of

37
00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:00.799
<v Speaker 2>the consideration that the board there in Cleveland takes in

38
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>before announcing those who will be enshrined later this year.

39
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Kind of cool event going on tonight and tomorrow night

40
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>at New York City's Madison Square Garden. The remaining folks

41
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>with any connection to the Almand Brothers band will be

42
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:20.159
<v Speaker 2>performing sold out shows tonight and tomorrow night. The Almend

43
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Brothers used to just after you know the key members

44
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>have passed away. The Brothers was a group featuring remaining

45
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>members of the final Almond Brothers band lineup. Well, those

46
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>guys are going to get back together after about a

47
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 2>five year hiatus. Tonight and tomorrow night try to put

48
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 2>some closure on the entire Almond Brothers saga, which those

49
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 2>of you who love Southern rock know that. Oh God, yeah,

50
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 2>Almend Brothers at or near the top when it comes

51
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 2>to that. Metallica have shared the trailer for their new

52
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>fan documentary called metallicas Saved My Life, which, by the way,

53
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 2>is not quite finished yet yet. The band is still

54
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>ranging for screen in towns where they will be playing

55
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>this spring and summer. So you know, I did not

56
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 2>see if they booked something in the Tampa area yet

57
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 2>from Metallic to Save My Life, but they are planning

58
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 2>to do this on their tour stops before the completed product,

59
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.439
<v Speaker 2>just to give the you know, the hardcore fans a

60
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 2>first chance to see this.

61
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.439
<v Speaker 1>Remember we went to something similar, we hosted out at

62
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Waterford Lakes.

63
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was some kind of monster. That's pretty cool.

64
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 2>What else you got here? Coachella? First weekend at Coachella

65
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 2>was over the weekend. You know, obviously there's the things

66
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>that happened there. One that may not have met expectations

67
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 2>was when Brian May from Queen showed up on stage.

68
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 2>He joined singer Benson Boone and they performed Bohemian Rhapsody

69
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 2>of Course, one of Queen's best known tunes. The fan

70
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 2>reaction and response to Brian May was described as lukewarm. Wow, lukewarm,

71
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, considered royalty in rock world. I don't know

72
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>what to read into that. If anything.

73
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I saw some of the people that are there that

74
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>they're interviewing. They were interviewing them pat about the reactions

75
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to the earthquake.

76
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Yea, guys, Oh it's crazy. Yeah. The My best guess

77
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 2>is there's probably a good portion of people in the

78
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 2>crowd who have no clue who Brian May even is,

79
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 2>but they'd have to know the song. You know, you

80
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>would hope, you would hope. So that was interesting. ACDC

81
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 2>has now done two shows of their North American Power

82
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 2>up to where they kicked it off last Thursday in

83
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 2>Minneapolis and they rocked Arlington last night at and T

84
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Stadium just outside Dallas. Twenty one song set list, two

85
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>plus hours. They only play two songs off the new album.

86
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>The rest is all ACDC hits that you've known and

87
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 2>loved for spanning the band's career.

88
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Wish all bands did that. It brings me back to

89
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the def Leppard show.

90
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, that's an entirely valid conversation to have

91
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>when classic rock artists continue to put out new albums,

92
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 2>which if they want to create new music, obviously that's fantastic.

93
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Good for them, that's, you know, part of their DNA.

94
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>But the fact of the matter is most of the

95
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.399
<v Speaker 2>times it's more miss than hit, and the fans that

96
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 2>are showing up to support you and see your shows

97
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 2>are there to hear your previous catalog of hits. I

98
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 2>think ACDC pretty much well aware of that. Yeah, So

99
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>May sixteenth get a chance to see them at Raymond

100
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:37.279
<v Speaker 2>James Stadium in Tampa. Stevie Nicks announcing a North American

104
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>info at stevinicks dot net. A former Guns N' Roses

105
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 2>manager Alan Niven, he has a GNR themed podcast called

106
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 2>at Petite for Distortion and Uh. He revealed that Axel

107
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Rose while he was, you know, managing the band, took

108
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.879
<v Speaker 2>a full fifty percent of the band's income. Seriously fifty percent.

109
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>And uh it was asked, you know, to elaborate a

110
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.439
<v Speaker 2>little more, and he said, he goes. He goes with axel.

111
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 2>It's straight up control thing. He uh, he wants to

112
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.680
<v Speaker 2>be in total control. Even though you know, Guns n'

113
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:31.439
<v Speaker 2>Roses at their prime and their heyday, the beauty of

114
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>it was five different elements coming together just to create

115
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.120
<v Speaker 2>this you know, never before seen type of presentation. And

116
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>AXL Yeah, obviously a huge part of that, but not

117
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:47.279
<v Speaker 2>the only part. Fifty percent. He was I'm surprised the

118
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>other guys in the band let that let that fly.

119
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:53.000
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy. That's a good way to stir it up

120
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.839
<v Speaker 2>real quick. Is it true he was the band's manager.

121
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>I would think if anyone would have access to the finances,

122
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>it would be the band's manager. So he may know,

123
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 2>and he said it is because he's a control freight.

124
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 1>That's very similar to when he comes out to perform

125
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>back in the day and he'd be, I don't know,

126
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>an hour and a half late for his set.

127
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Luckily he's gotten through that phase of his you know, me, Me, Me,

128
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>And for the last few years, while Guns n' Roses

129
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.879
<v Speaker 2>are now being doing their thing, they've hit the stage

130
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>on time for the most part. And one final thing

131
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:28.720
<v Speaker 2>here Shirley Manson, of course, from Garbage. That band has

132
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 2>been around a long time. We don't realize this. Shirley

133
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 2>is now fifty eight years old. They have some new

134
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>music out and one of the British tabloids she took

135
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:40.879
<v Speaker 2>a shot at them after they took a shot at

136
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>her when they called her unrecognizable the band's new publicity photograph,

137
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:52.319
<v Speaker 2>and she played the captain obvious thing heared said, Look,

138
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm almost sixty years old. Obviously I don't look like

139
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 2>I did when I was in my twenties. People age,

140
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 2>She goes, but I'll tell you this, no matter what

141
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I look like, no matter what they say about me,

142
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I will always in forever rock harder than most.

143
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Well done, Shirley.

144
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Then she allegedly said, sick burn
