I always used to hear stories from from 207 00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:46,360 my old boss about how how would go to McDonald's 208 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:54,039 and stock up on Hamburger's and he would have them 209 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,919 on the heater in the studio to keep them warm, 210 00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:03,000 and he would eat him while he was working. So 211 00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:06,039 there's an old radio story for you. 212 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,679 Speaker 2: Who's in oz Ooh's and oz so rest in peace, 213 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:17,519 Hal Hoover cheers, Thank you for the inspiration, say hi 214 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:18,919 to run Striker for me. 215 00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: Two of the guys that I listened to back in 216 00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:27,279 the day are gone sad. Like I said, we're getting 217 00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:30,519 How was seventy three years old? You would have been 218 00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:41,399 seventy four fifty two. I haven't done shit so dumb, 219 00:16:43,879 --> 00:16:46,919 all right. So one thing that the main reason I 220 00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:49,559 did want to do a show tonight is because I 221 00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:56,639 wanted to talk about something I wanted to talk about. 222 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,120 I wanted to talk about a mentality, a mentality that 223 00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:05,119 I used to have. I used to be one of 224 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:14,039 these people, and I don't like this mentality. I think 225 00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:23,319 it's dumb. I'm not calling this person dumb, But there 226 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,079 was a post, and I'm not gonna say her name 227 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,759 because I don't want to call her out. She's probably 228 00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:33,440 not gonna hear this anyways. It doesn't matter. Do you 229 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,880 have the guts to make money with your own songs? 230 00:17:36,759 --> 00:17:40,519 I see cover bands with millions of followers, hype, et cetera. Congrats, 231 00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:45,359 you achieve nothing in this life. Tribute can work morally 232 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,079 if someone is dead. I can accept this kind of approach, 233 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,920 but still, you don't leave an impact in this world. 234 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,079 You pay tribute to an artist you love because you 235 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,720 can't see him or her anymore. People can't write songs anymore. 236 00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:02,880 Media promote shit. I don't know. I seldom hear a 237 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,240 good song well played by good musicians. No wonder why 238 00:18:06,319 --> 00:18:12,440 gig sales are going down? High cost, mediocre music and performers. 239 00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:17,200 Is this the era I was waiting for the era 240 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,359 of truth? I ponder, Let the real music play, all right? 241 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,640 I have a lot of things to talk about I have, 242 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:31,359 cause there's this. To be honest, this post pissed me off, 243 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,880 and I didn't want to comment on it and get 244 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,799 into it and YadA YadA YadA. But this post pissed 245 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,279 me off, do you have the guts to make money 246 00:18:41,319 --> 00:18:46,039 with your own songs? Well, here's the deal, good fucking luck. 247 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:56,799 Nobody buys music anymore. Nobody buys music anymore. You want 248 00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:59,599 to know why people aren't writing their own songs and 249 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,680 just cover shows and doing tribute bands, because that's where 250 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,359 the money is. That's where you can make a living 251 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,160 being in an original band, being an original songwriter. Good 252 00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:20,960 fucking luck. I'm not saying don't do it. I'm saying 253 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:28,480 good fucking luck. Now, in the age of the Internet, now, 254 00:19:28,519 --> 00:19:31,400 in the age of the YouTube, now, in the age 255 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:37,400 of the SoundCloud now, in the age of the Spotify now, 256 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,359 in the age of the Facebook, the Instagram, the Twitter, 257 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:51,720 there is so much material out there. Good fucking luck. 258 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,920 There are no gatekeepers anymore. Eddie Trunk has talked about 259 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,599 this many many times. Absolutely personal. Sorrybar I really like 260 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,599 how I that. By the way, I felt like I 261 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,759 was having ah And that's the rest of the story. 262 00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:13,279 I thought I was having a Paul Harvey moment. I'm 263 00:20:13,279 --> 00:20:16,119 not going to say you're not going to be successful 264 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,880 in life writing music, because you can be, but good 265 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,839 fucking luck. I am fifty two years old, I am 266 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,240 not going to be a rock star. I'm not going 267 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,880 to be a pop star. I'm not going to be 268 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,480 a country star. I have a better chance of hitting 269 00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:37,599 the fucking power ball than having a top ten song 270 00:20:37,759 --> 00:20:45,960 on the rock, country, or pop charts. It's not going 271 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,160 to happen. The music industry is a young guy's game, 272 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:59,079 a young man's game, a young gals game. Good fucking luck. 273 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,680 I see cover bands with millions of followers, hype, etc. Congrats. 274 00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:06,960 You achieve nothing in life. I think that's a real 275 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:12,720 dick thing to say. Achieve nothing in life because you're 276 00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:18,119 enjoying what you're doing. You achieve nothing in life because 277 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,680 you're up playing covers. You might have a job and 278 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,599 then you play covers on the weekends. You might have 279 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,920 that's all you do. Maybe you live in Las Vegas, 280 00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:32,559 maybe you live in Nashville and all you do is 281 00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:36,200 play music every day. Yeah, I'm sure you're playing songs 282 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:43,599 that you don't want to play, but that's called making money. 283 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,960 You're not going to get paid doing originals. That's a 284 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:55,799 whole different industry. And look, I know, as an original artist, 285 00:21:55,839 --> 00:21:59,359 it is easy to sit there and look down your 286 00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:03,519 no at somebody in a fucking wig pretending to be 287 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:10,359 Vince Neil. I know it's easy to sit there and 288 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,880 go I am holier than thou because I perform original 289 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,960 music and this guy in this cowboy hat has a 290 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:29,799 fucking looping station playing songs for money. Well, here's the deal, 291 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,759 Babo or whatever whatever name I'm using right now, here's 292 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,000 the deal. Some of these musicians are a hell of 293 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,960 a lot better than some people that you know of 294 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,440 because they do original music. That's just their lot in life. 295 00:22:50,519 --> 00:22:54,839 That's just what they do, and there is nothing wrong 296 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,160 with that. Do I have a tribute band? You're goddamn 297 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:04,960 right I do. Why do I do it? Because I 298 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,599 get to play kiss songs with my friends and get 299 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,480 paid for it. I can go out and do the 300 00:23:13,519 --> 00:23:17,720 Izy prison van, which I am going to do. I 301 00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:21,519 am going to play original songs. Am I going to 302 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,960 make that money that I make doing act a tribute 303 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000 to Ace? Freely? No? I am not. You know why, 304 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:34,119 because nobody gives a fuck about your original music. I'm 305 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:41,799 not talking you the person that wrote this. And this 306 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,200 is a general statement. Obviously, there are people out there 307 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,880 that you want to hear original music from, the people 308 00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:51,720 want to make it in the music industry. Of course, 309 00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:57,519 you gotta write original music. You have to have good songs. 310 00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:03,200 I have song. Are they good to me? Yeah? Are 311 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,359 they good to somebody else? Probably not. That may be 312 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:16,440 good to a few. But to sit there, what have 313 00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:22,720 you accomplished? That is a dick thing to say. I 314 00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:25,160 hate that mentality. Okay, let's see what else do they 315 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,720 go on to say? I can accept this kind of approach. 316 00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:31,599 You still don't leave an impact in the world. I 317 00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:37,359 call bullshit on that too. You paid tribute to an 318 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,359 artist you love because you can't see them anymore. No, 319 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,279 I paid tribute to Ace freely because I love Kiss 320 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,720 and I can see him. But I want to play 321 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,240 songs that he doesn't play live, and I get to 322 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,200 play Kiss songs with my friends and get paid for it. 323 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,839 That's why I do it. Because it's fun. Music is 324 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,160 supposed to be fun. Let's forget about the business this 325 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,680 part of the industry. Why do we start playing fucking 326 00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:08,880 music because it's fun? Because you love the response you 327 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,279 get from people, You love jamming with your friends, you 328 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:17,359 love learning songs, you love performing those songs. Why because 329 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:22,319 it's fun. It is fun, and once you lose the 330 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:27,039 mentality of music not being fun. Why the fuck are 331 00:25:27,079 --> 00:25:29,200 you in it for the first place? For the money? 332 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:40,039 Good fucking luck, it's all about having fun. Yes, of course, 333 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,880 it is the music business. It is the music industry. 334 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:51,359 There is business involved. If you're all playing fucking cover 335 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,240 songs and you hate those cover songs and you're not 336 00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:55,319 having fun playing those cover songs, okay, then you're just 337 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,000 doing it to make a buck, which is fine too. 338 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,599 There is nothing wrong with that. We'll step aside, let 339 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:09,640 somebody else do it. Why why why? Why? Why why 340 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,880 should they listen to you? Step aside and let somebody 341 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,880 else do it? No? Why why should somebody give up 342 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,480 their fucking gig just so you can go up and play. 343 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,240 I don't know, It's just I just don't like that 344 00:26:24,279 --> 00:26:27,960 fucking mentality. All right, let's go on, let's go on. 345 00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:41,000 People can't write good songs anymore. Well, I disagree. I disagree. 346 00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:46,559 I hold on, hold on, hold on, Let me tell 347 00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:53,559 you this, let me show you this, This record right here, 348 00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:56,799 Mike Dawson and the Smoking Kills. Yes, I'm in the band. 349 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,559 Did I write any of these songs? No? I did not. 350 00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:02,759 The record was done before I joined. This album is 351 00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:07,920 packed with good songs. Did it do anything? No, it didn't. 352 00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:13,039 Does that means there's not good songs on it? No 353 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,559 it doesn't. You can pump the shit out of anything. 354 00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:19,400 If you do not have money behind it, you are 355 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,359 not going to have a fucking success. You have to 356 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,079 have money behind you. You could have the greatest fucking 357 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,720 record in the world. You could have fucking you could 358 00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:33,200 have the next fucking Appetite for destruction, you could have 359 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,519 the next Van Halen one, you could have the next 360 00:27:35,559 --> 00:27:42,000 Kiss destroyer. If you do not have something driving it 361 00:27:42,519 --> 00:27:47,039 behind you that has money, good fucking luck, because the 362 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:53,160 chance of it organically getting found and getting heard not 363 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:59,400 gonna happen. It's not. It's the fucking truth. Yes, there 364 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,720 are going to be instances, but for the love of 365 00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:11,119 fucking Christ, can't write good songs? Fuck off? So dumb? 366 00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:17,160 All right, all right, let's move on, h or maybe 367 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:22,799 media propotes shit. Well, of course we know, because the 368 00:28:22,839 --> 00:28:27,799 garbage that has the machine behind it is what you hear. 369 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:35,400 If the machine was behind good bands, good music, to me, 370 00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:39,759 I would love it. But it's not. It's behind shit 371 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,359 that I don't like that I'm not a fan of 372 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,200 and it's usually garbage except for the country. The country's good, 373 00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:53,279 even the bro country's good. At least hiss fucking songwriting, 374 00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:58,440 at least his storytelling. Lisa's fucking musicians. I seldom hear 375 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,319 a good song well played by musicians. Get the fuck 376 00:29:01,359 --> 00:29:06,960 out of here. I no wonder why gig sales are 377 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:14,440 high cost mediocre music and performance. Just stop, just stop. 378 00:29:16,279 --> 00:29:24,119 This is I'm sorry, I'm friends with this person. Just stop. 379 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,160 Go tell that to Eli Guns, who keeps putting out 380 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,319 fucking albums. Go tell that to uh fucking Elle Guns? 381 00:29:34,359 --> 00:29:37,599 Is putting out a record a year? You do that? 382 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:44,400 Can you do that? You're not doing that? I know 383 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,960 you're not doing that. Ellie Guns has put out a 384 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,839 record a fucking year. And that's a band. That's not 385 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:57,000 a solo artist. That is a band. Is their music. 386 00:29:57,359 --> 00:30:01,440 Is there money in the music industry? Yeah? There is. 387 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,119 Is there money in record sales for La Guns? Probably not. 388 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,799 A couple of my best friends are in the band 389 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:15,680 La Guns. We know this not selling a ton of 390 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,160 fucking record We know it's not selling five hundred thousand records. 391 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,599 We know the world is in streaming. There are people 392 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,359 like me that still want vinyl. That still want CDs? Yes, 393 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,160 I still buy CDs. Hell I bought a fucking eight track. No, 394 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,079 I didn't buy an a track. I about a couple 395 00:30:33,119 --> 00:30:35,279 of cassettes because I still have a fucking cassette player. 396 00:30:36,319 --> 00:30:38,519 Todd Latorre was on this show my good friend. Well, 397 00:30:38,599 --> 00:30:41,359 could my friend not my good friend? I wish I 398 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,880 could say he was my good friend. But we know 399 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,720 each other. I consider him a friend. His record came out, 400 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,759 I bought it on fucking a track or not E track? 401 00:30:49,839 --> 00:30:53,319 Why do I keep saying eight track? Because you got 402 00:30:53,319 --> 00:31:00,519 me all in a tizzy? How about the cassette is? 403 00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:03,039 Why not do something different? And I bought it straight 404 00:31:03,079 --> 00:31:07,960 from him, so I'm contributing to him. I seldom hear 405 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,039 a good song. What kind of music do you like? 406 00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:13,400 You're a rocket. I know you're a rock fan. I 407 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:21,079 know you're a rock fan. Maybe it's just not good 408 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:34,160 enough for you. Now I I'm worked up. Well, high cost, 409 00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:37,319 Well yeah, everything's fucking more expensive. Now you know why 410 00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:40,759 it's more expensive because there's no fucking money in record sales, 411 00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:45,519 That's why. And it has nothing to do with the 412 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,519 quality of the product. It has to do with the 413 00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:51,319 fucking industry, and it's all streaming now. The only people 414 00:31:51,359 --> 00:31:53,480 that make start money make money on streaming is that 415 00:31:53,720 --> 00:32:00,559 is the record labels and the platforms are get shit. 416 00:32:03,599 --> 00:32:05,920 So you want to know why nobody's making fucking music, 417 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:12,799 there you go plus plus. For the most part, ninety 418 00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:14,720 eight percent of the people that go to a show 419 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:18,240 for a band that they love, when it's time for 420 00:32:18,319 --> 00:32:20,240 he We're gonna do a song off our new record, 421 00:32:21,079 --> 00:32:23,519 they go to the bathroom, they go to get a beer, 422 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,519 no matter how great that song might be. I don't 423 00:32:27,559 --> 00:32:29,599 I like to listen to the new shit, but I 424 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,119 am a rarety. There's people out there that still love it. 425 00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:42,839 There are. But that goes back to radio because what 426 00:32:43,039 --> 00:32:48,880 nobody listens to fucking radio anymore hardly? And two radio's 427 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:54,079 not playing new songs by La guns. Radio is not 428 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,839 playing new songs by the bands that you like that 429 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,319 have been around for a while. They're playing newer bands, 430 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,799 but not a lot of them. For the most part, 431 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,720 rock radio is classic rock. And I hate to say it, 432 00:33:09,759 --> 00:33:12,400 even the early two thousands is considered classic rock now. 433 00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:20,559 It's true, It's damn true. And you know what they're 434 00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:25,160 not playing on those classic rock stations, new music from 435 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,559 bands that you love. There's a lot of bands that 436 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,079 just gave up putting out new music because one nobody 437 00:33:33,079 --> 00:33:37,400 buys it. Two nobody wants to hear it live. They 438 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,319 just want to hear the hits. You know, we can 439 00:33:40,359 --> 00:33:45,039 thank for that fucking radio radio. But this has been 440 00:33:45,079 --> 00:33:54,319 going on forever. When Physical Graffiti came out, it was 441 00:33:54,359 --> 00:34:00,039 on the verge of coming out. Zeppelin played Kashmir. I 442 00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:02,480 know what people did, new song. They didn't know it. 443 00:34:02,519 --> 00:34:04,480 They went to the fucking pisser, they went to get 444 00:34:04,519 --> 00:34:12,039 a beer. It's been going on forever, So why make 445 00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:16,039 new music. Nobody's gonna buy it. Nobody wants to hear it, 446 00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:19,920 except for the hardcores. I'm a hardcore. I want to 447 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,440 hear it. I'm excited to hear the new La Guns record. 448 00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:26,639 I can't wait to hear the new La Guns record. 449 00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:31,360 I haven't bought it yet, but I'm going to. Why 450 00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:36,199 because I love La Guns has nothing to do with 451 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,800 the fact that I know the band, which is weird. 452 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,400 It's still weird for me to say that I can 453 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,519 text Phil Lewis that Tracy Gunns knows who I am. 454 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,679 That as Von Johnson and Johnny Martin are two of 455 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:59,880 my closest friends. It's weird. I don't take any of 456 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:04,920 that shit for granted. And I'm just using Elle Guns 457 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,360 as an example because they're a band that just put 458 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,519 out a fucking brand new record again this year when 459 00:35:10,519 --> 00:35:17,159 they just put one out last year. Would it be 460 00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:19,800 great if we could all put out fucking new music 461 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,639 and people would buy it and want to hear it. Yeah, 462 00:35:21,679 --> 00:35:27,920 it would be fucking awesome. But no, for the most part, 463 00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:34,559 nobody fucking cares. If people cared, you wouldn't have to 464 00:35:34,559 --> 00:35:38,639 do gofundmes. You wouldn't have to do uh ba bab 465 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,440 what's that other pledge? One? You guys know what I'm 466 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,039 talking about. You wouldn't have to do that because there 467 00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:47,079 would be an industry behind it. But there is not 468 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,119 unless you're twenty two years old. You have great knockers 469 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,599 can sing, but can't sing live. You have to lip 470 00:35:55,599 --> 00:35:59,400 sync because that's how the fucking industry is. God I 471 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:07,480 love knockers. So there there's your fucking music music industry. 472 00:36:07,519 --> 00:36:13,079 One oh one. You could say I'm wrong, you can 473 00:36:13,119 --> 00:36:16,239 see all this kind of stuff, but you know deep 474 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,639 down in your heart that I'm right. You know deep 475 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,280 down inside that everything that I just told you is 476 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,159 one hundred percent spot on. And to sit there and 477 00:36:27,199 --> 00:36:28,960 shit on somebody because they want to play in a 478 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,280 fucking cover band and make some money, fuck you so dumb. 479 00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:45,880 It's a horrible mentality to have. Horrible. It's degrading to 480 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,760 the people that are out there doing it. Look like 481 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,239 I said, yeah, there's some people that make a living 482 00:36:51,639 --> 00:36:57,800 off of another person's name. Is that right? No? I 483 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,159 don't make a living off of it. We played two 484 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,719 or three times a year. Why to celebrate the music 485 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,840 of my favorite band, and I get to play songs. 486 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,639 I get to play kiss songs with my friends and 487 00:37:09,679 --> 00:37:15,719 get paid for it because you're performing. If you're playing 488 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,599 at a bar, the bar's making money, so you should 489 00:37:18,599 --> 00:37:20,519 get paid. If you want to do it for free, 490 00:37:20,679 --> 00:37:28,119 God bless you go for it. To sit there and 491 00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:29,960 shit on somebody because they want to go out and 492 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,039 fucking play it, be a weekend warrior and play covers 493 00:37:33,159 --> 00:37:35,760 because nobody gives a fuck about original music and they 494 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,639 want to have fun and play fucking music and get paid. 495 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:49,679 Not cool, all right. I could sit and I can 496 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,400 keep yelling, and I can keep yelling, but I'm just 497 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,400 running around in circles. If you like what they do, 498 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,519 support them. If you don't like it, don't support them, 499 00:37:58,519 --> 00:38:01,880 that's fine, But don't there and shit on somebody because 500 00:38:02,039 --> 00:38:09,199 they're not playing original music. Oh well, there's my cue. 501 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,920 It's like the hook at the Oscars. Is he shut up? 502 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:20,840 Is he stop yelling? Is he stopped talking? It is 503 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:27,559 time to go pushing? Forty minutes, which in these days 504 00:38:27,639 --> 00:38:32,440 is kind of long for this podcast unless I have 505 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,440 a great guest in the studio or a great guest 506 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:40,320 on the fucking on the blower or the zoomish.
