Speaker 2: the fan vote open for Rock and Roll Hall of

Speaker 2: twenty first top five remain unchanged. Soundgarden in fifth, Cindy
Speaker 2: Laupper fourth, Billy Idol third, Bag Company, second, and Fish.

Speaker 2: Fish out front for the duration of the fan vote. Now,
Speaker 2: which of the fan vote artists will end up making
Speaker 2: the final cut, we'll find out. That's just part of
Speaker 2: the consideration that the board there in Cleveland takes in
Speaker 2: before announcing those who will be enshrined later this year.
Speaker 2: Kind of cool event going on tonight and tomorrow night
Speaker 2: at New York City's Madison Square Garden. The remaining folks
Speaker 2: with any connection to the Almand Brothers band will be
Speaker 2: performing sold out shows tonight and tomorrow night. The Almend
Speaker 2: Brothers used to just after you know the key members
Speaker 2: have passed away. The Brothers was a group featuring remaining
Speaker 2: members of the final Almond Brothers band lineup. Well, those
Speaker 2: guys are going to get back together after about a
Speaker 2: five year hiatus. Tonight and tomorrow night try to put
Speaker 2: some closure on the entire Almond Brothers saga, which those
Speaker 2: of you who love Southern rock know that. Oh God, yeah,
Speaker 2: Almend Brothers at or near the top when it comes
Speaker 2: to that. Metallica have shared the trailer for their new
Speaker 2: fan documentary called metallicas Saved My Life, which, by the way,
Speaker 2: is not quite finished yet yet. The band is still
Speaker 2: ranging for screen in towns where they will be playing
Speaker 2: this spring and summer. So you know, I did not
Speaker 2: see if they booked something in the Tampa area yet
Speaker 2: from Metallic to Save My Life, but they are planning
Speaker 2: to do this on their tour stops before the completed product,
Speaker 2: just to give the you know, the hardcore fans a
Speaker 2: first chance to see this.
Speaker 1: Remember we went to something similar, we hosted out at
Speaker 1: Waterford Lakes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was some kind of monster. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: What else you got here? Coachella? First weekend at Coachella
Speaker 2: was over the weekend. You know, obviously there's the things
Speaker 2: that happened there. One that may not have met expectations
Speaker 2: was when Brian May from Queen showed up on stage.
Speaker 2: He joined singer Benson Boone and they performed Bohemian Rhapsody
Speaker 2: of Course, one of Queen's best known tunes. The fan
Speaker 2: reaction and response to Brian May was described as lukewarm. Wow, lukewarm,
Speaker 2: you know, considered royalty in rock world. I don't know
Speaker 2: what to read into that. If anything.
Speaker 1: I saw some of the people that are there that
Speaker 1: they're interviewing. They were interviewing them pat about the reactions
Speaker 1: to the earthquake.
Speaker 2: Yea, guys, Oh it's crazy. Yeah. The My best guess
Speaker 2: is there's probably a good portion of people in the
Speaker 2: crowd who have no clue who Brian May even is,
Speaker 2: but they'd have to know the song. You know, you
Speaker 2: would hope, you would hope. So that was interesting. ACDC
Speaker 2: has now done two shows of their North American Power
Speaker 2: up to where they kicked it off last Thursday in
Speaker 2: Minneapolis and they rocked Arlington last night at and T
Speaker 2: Stadium just outside Dallas. Twenty one song set list, two
Speaker 2: plus hours. They only play two songs off the new album.
Speaker 2: The rest is all ACDC hits that you've known and
Speaker 2: loved for spanning the band's career.
Speaker 1: Wish all bands did that. It brings me back to
Speaker 1: the def Leppard show.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's an entirely valid conversation to have
Speaker 2: when classic rock artists continue to put out new albums,
Speaker 2: which if they want to create new music, obviously that's fantastic.
Speaker 2: Good for them, that's, you know, part of their DNA.
Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is most of the
Speaker 2: times it's more miss than hit, and the fans that
Speaker 2: are showing up to support you and see your shows
Speaker 2: are there to hear your previous catalog of hits. I
Speaker 2: think ACDC pretty much well aware of that. Yeah, So
Speaker 2: May sixteenth get a chance to see them at Raymond
Speaker 2: James Stadium in Tampa. Stevie Nicks announcing a North American
Speaker 2: solo tour, speaking of Tampa, August thirtieth, Emily Arena only
Speaker 2: Florida stop. Tickets for that will be going on sale
Speaker 2: Friday morning via ticketmaster dot com. You can also get
Speaker 2: info at stevinicks dot net. A former Guns N' Roses
Speaker 2: manager Alan Niven, he has a GNR themed podcast called
Speaker 2: at Petite for Distortion and Uh. He revealed that Axel
Speaker 2: Rose while he was, you know, managing the band, took
Speaker 2: a full fifty percent of the band's income. Seriously fifty percent.
Speaker 2: And uh it was asked, you know, to elaborate a
Speaker 2: little more, and he said, he goes. He goes with axel.
Speaker 2: It's straight up control thing. He uh, he wants to
Speaker 2: be in total control. Even though you know, Guns n'
Speaker 2: Roses at their prime and their heyday, the beauty of
Speaker 2: it was five different elements coming together just to create
Speaker 2: this you know, never before seen type of presentation. And
Speaker 2: AXL Yeah, obviously a huge part of that, but not
Speaker 2: the only part. Fifty percent. He was I'm surprised the
Speaker 2: other guys in the band let that let that fly.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. That's a good way to stir it up
Speaker 2: real quick. Is it true he was the band's manager.
Speaker 2: I would think if anyone would have access to the finances,
Speaker 2: it would be the band's manager. So he may know,
Speaker 2: and he said it is because he's a control freight.
Speaker 1: That's very similar to when he comes out to perform
Speaker 1: back in the day and he'd be, I don't know,
Speaker 1: an hour and a half late for his set.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Luckily he's gotten through that phase of his you know, me, Me, Me,
Speaker 2: And for the last few years, while Guns n' Roses
Speaker 2: are now being doing their thing, they've hit the stage
Speaker 2: on time for the most part. And one final thing
Speaker 2: here Shirley Manson, of course, from Garbage. That band has
Speaker 2: been around a long time. We don't realize this. Shirley
Speaker 2: is now fifty eight years old. They have some new
Speaker 2: music out and one of the British tabloids she took
Speaker 2: a shot at them after they took a shot at
Speaker 2: her when they called her unrecognizable the band's new publicity photograph,
Speaker 2: and she played the captain obvious thing heared said, Look,
Speaker 2: I'm almost sixty years old. Obviously I don't look like
Speaker 2: I did when I was in my twenties. People age,
Speaker 2: She goes, but I'll tell you this, no matter what
Speaker 2: I look like, no matter what they say about me,
Speaker 2: I will always in forever rock harder than most.
Speaker 1: Well done, Shirley.
Speaker 2: Then she allegedly said, sick burn
