uh the shows. The concerts that they had Saturday night

right now called Forever I Will. It's very Randy travesy.
He's a country guy. Believe it or not, he is
a country guy. But we, of course we geek out
on fucking kiss because that's what we do. We're insane.
All right, Well, we are right back another f podcast.
Joe beginness, all right, and we are back. I'm here
with my good buddy Joe McGuinness. You know him from
Chris Jericho's band Quarantine Classic seventy eight, which is the
first time that he was on the show and they
did the unmasking. And he's also a country guy. He's
an amazing fucking player. Welcome back, Joe. It's good to see.
Speaker 1: You, my pleasure. Likewise, great to see you maneers the years.
Speaker 2: Well, let's you know what, let's start with uh, with
the with the country stuff, because we can talk the
kiss ship for hours. You know, you have a brand
new single right now. It's called Forever I Will, And
you've getting radio play, which is almost unheard of. I
mean like terrestrial radio. I'm not talking you know, some
fucking slap dick uh in his basement in Sheboygan with
his own fucking radio station. You know. Now. So uh,
now is this part of like a compilation? Is it
You're just releasing singles? What? What is going on?
Speaker 1: So this will be on a new record. This was
something that this song actually, even though I released it recently,
it's been one of the songs that you know, been
in my uh, you know, at the back of my
on the back burner, let's say, for the past, you know,
decade or more. Uh. I wrote it a long time ago,
and I would record a demo and I'd be like,
that's pretty good, but not not great. Uh. This time,
I think I got it close to wright. I worked
with Luke Bryan's drummer Kent Slusher. He was also in quarantine.
He helped, he helped, you know, rewrite a few lyrics
with me. Uh and the rest of Luke Brian's band
plays on that. So you know the single uh, you know,
it was something that I felt was time to finally
release and get it out to the world. And luckily
I've been fortunate enough to have some amazing radio stations
you know, spin this thing, and that's just a dream
come true, I think for any musician you.
Speaker 2: Know, Oh no, absolutely, and like I've I've seen you
post ship in front of very large crowds and it's
just it just blows my mind. And it's like, because
I know you from the Kiss world, you know, I know,
in Quarantine from Creatures Fest, which you're gonna be at,
and Quarantine is actually coming to Vegas here as well.
I think that's is it the same weekend?
Speaker 1: Uh so? Yeah? December fifteen will be in Vegas, yeah, right,
December fourth, the fourteenth of December will be in West
Hollywood at the Whiskey of Go Go right right, and
the night after we'll be in like I said, a
Las Vegas at Counts Vamped.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the week and the week before that will
be at Kiss Cancer Goodbye, where I'll be performing with
Eric singer and Bruce Kolick right, and Quarantine featuring Bruce Kolick,
So two separate performances.
Speaker 2: For me and Bruce will be sitting in here in
Vegas as well.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's correct. Yeah, yeah, So.
Speaker 2: Always we're gonna we're gonna dive into the kiss shit
in a little bit. So, I mean, like I said,
I've seen pictures of you from some very fucking large crowds,
and like I said, it just blows my mind. You know,
how long have you been in the country world? I
mean when? When? When did you get your start? How
long have you been doing this?
Speaker 1: So so you know, I'm really going to date myself
here as far as my age and whatnot, but that's okay.
So so you know, it all started. You know, when
I was a kid, My older brothers were in a kiss.
My mother and father were into country music, you know, primarily,
so I was always torn between the two and I
always had love for both of them. But the country thing.
I actually started out in a rock group called C
four when I was in high school, and I actually
quit that group to start a country band. So I've
been doing the country thing as a solo. Accents twenty twelve.
But before that, I started, you know, a country band
with my with my brothers and my cousin. It's all
family related, we're all which is cool. So yeah, so
early two thousands I started the country band and then
the solo career started in twenty twelve.
Speaker 2: And what with your rock roots and your kiss roots,
is it was it hard for you to stick to that?
You know?
Speaker 1: Uh? I always kept an element of you know, the
rock or even in this case, uh to compartmentalize even more.
But like the kiss uh theories, you know, whether it's
you know, you know, always put on a great show
and you ever, you know whatever all the things that
you know, Paul and Jean especially preached or you know,
any of those guys. You know, I've always looked up
to them. So no matter what I was doing being
a front man with country, I tried to implement some
of the Paul Stanley stuff. Not the stage right, you know,
or if it was an ace freely riff. I mean,
there are songs that have a lot of kiss DNA
in the country three yeah, stuff that I do, which
which is great. So that kind of fed my appetite
for the rock stuff. You know, once you get out
live in front of a crowd, you kind of turn
up your gain a little bit and rip into it
a little bit more, right so, of course, but yeah,
you know, it was a nice breath of fresh air
to kind of start doing the rock thing again. But now,
you know, I was always worried about, you know, what
would happen if I, you know, put the two together
and did both at the same time professionally, And everything
worked out great because I, you know, I meet so
many great people in the rock world and so many
people in the country world, and it's you know, it's
a bonus man.
Speaker 2: Well, dude, it's so funny. And we were kind of
talking about this off the air before I actually know
I forgot to record. But how the rock and country
worlds just really intertwine, you know, how many country guys
are really fucking rock guys. And we look at Keith Urban.
His and in Australia was called fractured me. You know again,
it always comes back to fucking kiss always away.
Speaker 1: And another another little quick note. A while back, Keith
Urban had a telecaster made with a crack mirror finish
like Paul Stanley. Of course, yes, so he was clearly
influenced and open, pretty open about his love for kiss.
Speaker 2: That's funny. It's just it's so wild. I mean that's
really how you know you got Dove into this whole
kiss world with Jericho too, is because of can't Sletcher. Yeah,
it was also a fucking kiss geek. I always say
we're the scientologist of rock and roll. I mean we're insane,
and that that's really how that happened.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you know the Classic seventy eight thing was
kind of prior to that, uh huh. So you know
I did the Classic seventy eight thing. I think twenty
fifteen we started recording maybe sixteen for the side one
inside two. So you know, I had put some kiss recordings.
I call him kiss demos. Stuff. I did like one
hundred thousand Years, Love Gun, Yeah, just some of my favorites.
I'd mess around with these demos and I put them
up on YouTube anonymously. Well, Tom from Classic seventy eight
was able to track me down somehow, I don't know how,
and he's like, hey, I heard you're doing this, but
I know you're a country guy, but would you be
interested in doing this? And I said sure, And it
kind of went from there and grew legs and you know,
I knew Kent at the time, and him and I
were still working on country projects. Yeah, you know kind
of intertwined, which was pretty pretty amazing really.
Speaker 2: So how does Jericho come into this whole thing then,
because obviously this is before Kent was playing with Chris,
I mean, was it yeah, was it PJ or how
did that whole thing come about?
Speaker 1: No, that's a great question. So in twenty twenty, the
craziness that happened, you know, Kent being in a prestigious
you know, traveling worldwide band with Luke Bryan who is
a superstar and his American idol and all these other
TV shows and performances. You know, Kent knows everybody, He's
met everybody. So him and Jericho had a friendship that
that goes back quite a while. And let me get
kiss that that. Yeah, that's a good point. You know,
you know, just always ties into kiss you know, so
you know that what's funny is, you know I knew Kent,
knew a lot of people, and he might have mentioned
Jericho before, but you know I was also friends with
Charlie Bnonte before, so we had, you know, friendship mutual friends,
and it was funny. I'd never you know, officially met.
I had heard great things about him, and so yeah,
when twenty twenty came around and things went nuts, we
were at home Kent and I and he was very
kind of bummed out about not being able to tour,
and I was bummed out about everything and not being
able to perform live also, and I said, let's let's
record some kiss covers, you know, just for fun. And
it was supposed to be just him and I put
it on YouTube. Done deal, forget about.
Speaker 2: It non weekend? Right, yeah, yeah, just.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably most likely we never got you know, we
never really got that far. So you know, so I
did the guitar parts for No, No No. He laid
down the drum tracks. Next thing, you know, he sends
it to Jericho and says, guess which song this is?
And Jericho, being the kiss geek, especially eighties kiss gi
yeah guess no, no no, and he said, do you
guys need a singer? And Ken asked me, would you
mind if Chris saying this? And I'm like, well, you know,
you know, I was more than happy. Yeah, you know,
it's just great too, you know, someone who's established themselves
and been successful to know that you all have that
common thread together and you feel like a family.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: So when we we finally met and played together and
started recording together, we hit it off so uh so quickly.
And he brought in PJ because you know, uh, I know,
Chris was a big fan of Trickster back in the day,
so him and PJ had a you know relationship. And
then eventually we ended up adding another guitar player because
we knew we had need we would definitely need one
for the live stuff. And that's where Charlie Parrah came in.
And man, like, we're a big happy family, you know,
we I don't think you know, most bands may have disagreements.
We have very few, if any at all. And if
it's it is it's minor stuff. But yeah, it all
started twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Man, please tell me the disagreements about stage clothes. No, dude,
Bruce didn't have it exactly like that. You're missing over here.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, you know, probably something like that. And
like I said, I'm trying to think of one because
there are very few and usually we all agree unanimously,
and which is which is great. You know, we all
just love, love the whole eighties kiss thing, especially so much.
Speaker 2: And then I think it's I think the eighties part
it's really a forgotten gem, you know really because it's like,
you know, even when you know Trunk did his uh
you know, Creatures versus lick it Up, And I think
Lick It Up is the better record. Creatures has four
super strong songs and a bunch of fucking filler in
my opinion, and I think Lick it Up top to bottom,
other than the actual song lick it Up, even though
I like the live version. For some fucking reason, I
think lick it Up is a better thing. But a
lot of people are like, it's the image, it's kiss
the makeup, and it's like that's why that it's got
to be Creatures. It's like, no, dude, the eighties shit
is so good because it's it's two different bands. It's
like Van Halen van Hagar.
Speaker 1: It's completely exactly exactly and.
Speaker 2: Like, to me, Asylum is probably the number two record
Kiss ever put out.
Speaker 1: Oh it's so up there. For me, it's so up there,
you know. Give you an idea. A couple of years ago,
I said Asylum was my number one favorite kiss album
of all Time, and now this year it's Crazy Nights
and they keep flip flopping.
Speaker 2: Wow, see Crazy Nights. I can't go that.
Speaker 1: Far, but I like I like it well, you know,
I just I have such a passion for Bruce's playing
and man, his guitar solos on that record, even if
you just soloed his guitars, he just has has such
amazing uh you know, riffs and phrasing and the way
he's just such a soulful player. But you know, great songs,
very catchy, obviously very interesting, you know time for music
in general, and but it's got a cool vibe, man.
And that was my introduction in the Kiss was the
late eighties. Yeah, you know, as a kid watching Kiss
exposed with my older brothers and then animalized live uncensored,
So you know, that was my era of Kiss. So
it's hard for me too. And I love the seventies stuff.
I love all eras really, but the seventies stuff is
so great also. But man, there's something special about the
eighties era for me.
Speaker 2: Well, I've told Bruce this and the song I'm Alive
off of Asylum for all of you who don't know.
To me, it's like you know, we always heard those
stories that Gina Paul wanted Alex and Eddie or I'm
sorry Edward, I didn't like Eddie edd and to me,
the song I'm Alive, that's what it would have sounded
like because of Bruce's playing on that. He he that's
really a van Halen esque song as far as.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, you know, uh, I'm gonna say it.
You know, Bruce was the best Kiss guitarist all around
in my opinion. He could play the ace stuff, and yeah,
he put his own spin on some of it. But
you know, I put his solo for Deuce on a
live three right up next to aces. I mean, they're
you know, it's like, you know, apples and oranges. They're
they're both great. You know, depends on the date which
one's better. I love him both, man. He he really
did a great job on a lot of stuff, you know,
but overall he could play the fast stuff, he could
play the soul full stuff and play the straight up
rock stuff. So best all around guitarist for Kiss in
my opinion.
Speaker 2: And this is so wild that you guys are charting,
You're fucking charting with Kiss covers, covers for songs that
weren't fucking hits. It was just just like album tracks.
Speaker 1: Right, which kind of shows you you know, the truth
is if the radio stations really truly didn't think they
were anything special, they would not play them because they
do not want to lose listeners. So the fact a
song like silver Spoon or a song like Good Girl
Gone Bad, which are great songs, you know, I feel like,
you know, we put a little bit of a modern,
little bit more modern twist. We don't like to go
too far, but yeah, you know, we put that modern
twist to them, and you know, and they breathe new
life into them and hopefully someone else could discover them
and eventually go down that rabbit hole you know.
Speaker 2: Right, Please tell me any way you slice, it is
going to be in there at some point. Man.
Speaker 1: I play that one all the time on my guitar.
I love it so great. So we have so much
to choose from, you know, when we were talking to
Eddie Trunk before, we mentioned if you think about the
amount of material we have, even the demos like Sword
and Stone, we have so much stuff to choose from.
So we'll never It'll be a long time before we
run out of you know material to cover, so but yeah, yeah,
that a great song man.
Speaker 2: It's funny. So I do this. I'm host on the
Monsters of Rock Cruise every year and I do this
jam where it's the Cruiser Jam, so I have artists
and cruisers playing together. Now, last year they had me
do two shows and one of them was I did
nineteen seventy seven and the second one I let the
cruisers pick their bands and picked their songs, and one
of them was fucking Sword in the Stone. I'm like,
nobody's gonna know this song, but fuck it, I like it.
Go for it right, It went over, It went over.
And you also said you are going to be a
Kiss Cancer Goodbye, which is also Neil who did Creatures Fest,
which I was lucky enough to be part of. Unfortunately
I'm not part of Kiss Cancer Goodbye. I have no
idea why. I know I must have did too good
of a job hosting, m seeing, introducing and being hilarious
at punchlines and back lines that he's just like he
hates He must hate me, because otherwise I would have
got the call.
Speaker 1: Uh. You know, Neil's a great guy. I think he
just has so much on his plate. And he's trying
to do. Honestly, I didn't think I was going to
get a call because man, I didn't know. I didn't
hear anything about it for a long time. I heard
rumblings and then but when they did say that he
wanted Quarantine, and then he added Bruce to our said
well what if Bruce played with you? Absolutely, Bruce. I'm
very close friends with Bruce Kolik, which I'm very thankful for.
I mean, he's been a great mentor, especially someone I've
looked up to. Yeah, but you know, just a great player,
and we talked constantly and uh they're just both gear
heads when it comes to guitars and and equipment and
you know. So, yeah, we'll be I'll be doing two
performances at Kiss Cancer Goodbye. I'll be playing with Quarantine,
and then Bruce will be coming out for the last
eight or nine songs Nice our special special guest. And
he he's ready to go. I know that because we've
been talking about the set and I think there's me
some great ones you guys are gonna love. And then
the day after I'll be playing with Eric Singer, Bruce Kolick,
and Zach Throne.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 1: So the four of us will be doing a couple
of songs. I don't know if I'm allowed to say which.
Speaker 2: Don't ruin it, don't ruin it. I don't want to you, yeah,
because they will make him hate me even more.
Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, so I doubt that no one
could hate you, man, You're too likable. I don't know,
ask Neil, but yeah, so we'll be playing a couple
of songs. Very excited for that event, and I know
Talad Howard will be there, one of our all time
favorite musicians. So I'm you know, I'm really looking forward
to the event. And I really wish you were there.
Speaker 2: Oh dude, I wish I was. It's so funny because
I jour our friend Joey Casada had had a post
about him like, oh, this would be great to have
act featuring Todd Holworth reachars Fess liked it.
Speaker 4: Then all a Sunday and Toddy, Well we actually saw,
you know, we actually just did uh.
Speaker 2: In May. We did a gig out here with Todd
and he came up and did like half the set,
you know, and it was cool to be able to
play those songs with him. And a funny story, so
we had Troy Patrick Farrell playing drums. You know, do
you know Troy and his wonderful hair? I know of him, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
great dude, great player. And I get this text day
of rehearsal. It's like, can we do something with breakout? Man?
I'm having a trouble this middle part. I'm just fucking
I just I just don't know. I'm like, dude, it's
got to be in there. And you what are you
talking about getting rid of the middle. It's like no,
it's changing. I'm like, no, you gotta fucking do it.
Troy and I texted Todd, and Todd just started laughing.
He goes, I've had drummers vomit because of that song
before True Story.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it's like that Anton set the bar so
Anton fig set the bar so high. And you know,
I'm actually looking forward to uh seeing Anton play. I've
seen him play live before The Letterman Show, and I
saw him at a club in Manhattan about ten years
ago and I met him. He great guy, So I'm
looking forward to seeing him play.
Speaker 2: Also, oh so he's going to be there.
Speaker 1: I did not know that he will be there. I
don't know if him and Todd Howard will interconnect anyway musically,
but it would be a shame if.
Speaker 2: They didn't, right right, well, it sounds like it's going
to be who else is going to be part of that?
I know Todd Kerns. Yep, they're doing They're doing Creatures, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're doing the whole Creatures record, I believe, and
then Anton's doing some of the Enmasked and Dynasty stuff.
And then I think they're doing the whole Live two album,
and I think Bruce cool Look and Eric Singer will
be jumping up for that also nice, So there's quite
a few things, and then Courtney will be doing the
you know, punch lines and back lines. Actually, I think
they're doing some sort of family fewd thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went through and did that questionnaire for them.
I wasn't very nice on some stuff, but it was
jokingly of course, right sure, sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's badass.
Speaker 1: That'll be a great time, so yeah, you know, the
week after will be uh, I'll be with Quarantine and Lost. Actually.
The first tour date is December fifteen, No fourteen at
the Whiskey Go Go.
Speaker 2: Have you ever played the Whisky?
Speaker 1: This will be my first time at the Whiskey. You know,
a country singer first gig at the.
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. I've never officially played there, but I've
like introduced bands on stage. You walk onto that stage,
it is just like, holy fuck, I'm on stage whiskey
of Gogil, fucking insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'll have to hold it together because
you know, growing up a huge rock fan, you can't
help but ignore the history of that, that legendary stage
and club in general. So I'm pretty excited about that.
And then the night after, like I said, will be
at Counts Vamped in Las Vegas, and That's where I'll
see you. I'm sure, right, absolutely absolutely probably are our
great friend Red Cup Jeff will be there. I think,
no way, I think so.
Speaker 2: Really somewhere Jericho's at I would never imagine that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and man, I'm looking really looking forward to
those dates. It'll be great too, you know, just see
the other part of the country and do it in
a different light with a rock band, you know, in
that matter, So it'll be great. Man.
Speaker 2: So what do you have coming up as far as
the country stuff goes? You have gigs lined.
Speaker 1: Up, so nothing until twenty twenty five. I just played
a one off just honestly, because I'm really trying to
get this album done. Yeah, you know, it's just such
a you know, I'm very particular about the songs I
write and songs I release and the new one Forever
I will. You know. Obviously that was my wedding song,
Believe oh wow. So yeah, so that one has some history.
So yeah, you know, I'm really excited to get this
album underway. But it's been a long process. But as
far as tour dates twenty twenty five, we have a
lot in the works right now. Well I don't want
to say anything because I don't want to confirm it until.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, don't and don't jinx it.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. So I'm really looking forward to it.
And on top of that, I have I have two
children that play music, so my oh badass. Yeah. My
son's just had their first gig. They opened the show
for me on November and man, they ripped into Cold
Gin which was awesome and uh, you know, they played
a snippet of Black Diamond. You know, they did some
country too, but they did some some great rock stuff.
So it was great to watch.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Super proud dad moment you know, just great, great fun
watching them.
Speaker 2: And actually I just decided this right now. I just
looked at the calendar December twenty third. Every year I
do my yearly listener drunk in summit where I have
the listeners involved and we always do the throwdowns, and
this year is going to be I just decided because
of this conference station, lick it up for Animalize Versus
Asylum three way dance. But there you go, I there
you go. Yeah dude, fuck yeah, man, come on in.
It'll be a fucking blast. You. You had said via
text that you wanted to talk about something that may
or may not be right behind me.
Speaker 1: Yes, that amazing. Uh that's a replica, right.
Speaker 2: It is a replica, it's not the real one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Could you grab that and show show people. Are
people gonna be watching this?
Speaker 2: Or is just a sad Yeah? Oh yeah, yeah that's
why the video I thought.
Speaker 1: So, okay, all right, this is the coolest. Yeah. So
this jacket right here, I'm hoping someday to have one
gifted to me by someone that I know that I'm
staring at right now. But uh no, that things, I
think goes anywhere.
Speaker 2: Joe, it's going to you.
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: So funny it's yours.
Speaker 1: Oh what a guy. So for the people that may
not know, this is a replica of a nineteen eighty
seven eighty eight Ace Frehley jacket that he wore with
Freiley's comment, one of my favorite groups of all time,
probably right up there next to Kiss as far as
rock goes close first or second. Man, they're a great band,
but that jacket is super cool. And I told Izzy
before we got on here that you know, this jacket
is super cool and I wanted to talk about it
because super jealous. I need one. So if anyone out
there wants to get me one or make me one,
I'll gladly pay you.
Speaker 2: Well, my friend, my friend Melissa Mellie, she used to well,
I used to have advertising on the show, which I'm
going to bring back because why the fuck not. She
used to have that business called dead Threads, and she
just took old rock shirts had turned him into like
women's dresses and shit like that, which is bad ass.
And I asked her to write me a fucking acet
Frailey jacket. So basically she's like, well, find a jacket
that fits and send it to me. And she found
all the I mean even the even the buckle is
the exact I don't know where the hell she found
the exact fucking buckle. Wow. And the patches are all
exactly like they are on the on Ace's jacket. Yeah,
the one thing that's different is the back. But yeah
that looks cool too, though, yeah it looks bad as Yeah,
she did a great job. She did a really great
job on it. Yeah, once I retire ACT, it's yours.
What a guy?
Speaker 1: What a guy?
Speaker 2: What can I say? Man? Can I say?
Speaker 1: All?
Speaker 2: Right? So? Uh so we got coming up first is
gis Cancer? Goodbye? And then we got the quarantine shows,
which ACT is not a part of. Unfortunately, that would
have been badass. That was what I was pushing for
that for so long.
Speaker 1: You guys introduced us like, yeah, you know, truthfully, I
I mentioned it, but I think they as soon as uh,
our booking agent reaches out. I think, you know, a
million things start flying around, so you never know. And
like I said, I don't know if I mentioned it
too late or well, I'm not sure. I don't really
handle it's looking, but man, that would have been awesome.
Speaker 2: Dude. Imagine ACT featuring Todd harworthro in the eighties, fucking
a stuff opening from perfect Quarantine doing the eighties. Fucking
kiss shit, it would have been fucking perfect. It's magic. Yeah,
next exactly, Well, it doesn't have to be in the Southwest.
We'll go wherever. So I'm just saying, I'm just throwing
that out there, Chris. You have you have to pitch
it as a as a bill. That's that's the key.
It has to be pitched as a bill. But Joe,
where can they do you have a website? Where can
they find you? Your personal ship first? Because that's most important.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, uh Instagram at Joe McGinnis official or on
Facebook Joe McGuinness. It's not spelt Guinness like the beer.
It's it's a cheap ripoff that they gave us Ellis
Island and this is close enough. G I M C
G I N N E S S. But you know, uh,
you know, so yeah, there you got social media of course,
Joe McGuinness dot com, you know, get a bio or
anything they want. The merchandise all sold out recently, so
on revamping the the shopping part of the website.
Speaker 2: Nice, well, d hold on now that that's great to hear,
because I mean, I don't sell a lot of merch.
That's why I have to use like t spring and
tea public and stuff like that. Would you get those
get the Great Me and the some Bitch shirts and
uh and uh and the Act shirts and hats and
fucking all that kind of good stuff. But uh but yeah,
so you you you sell enough to actually do hard product,
which is great.
Speaker 1: Yeah we do. Okay. You know, I'm pretty fortunate too.
Like I said, I you know, mainly in the Northeast.
This is kind of my territory if you if you
want to talk in wrestling terms, yeah, yeah, but you know,
it's very regional, which is fine with me. But you know,
I have fans from all areas and then some that
came along when I started playing in Quarantine, some classic seventy.
So I have really cool, very accepting fans. Because some
of the rock fans, you know, will say, man, you know,
I was never into country, but I really like this
song or that song of yours, so I take that
as a compliment. And some of the country fans say,
you know, the quarantines not for me, or they'll say,
you know, I like Good Girl Gone Back, you know,
or whatever. Yeah, so I'm pretty fortunate there for the
most part. Nine times out of ten they're very accepting
and very supportive, so you know, I'm definitely I can't
think those people enough for buying my merch coming to shows. Downloading,
you know these days it's downloads. Yeah, streaming, you know,
streaming is you know, changed the game a lot. But yeah, man,
it's just a pretty wild musical ride doing the country
and the rock thing.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's great. I mean because we have a
I have a country band too. It's it's more of
a rock country band. It's called Mike Dawson and the
Smoking Kills. Yes, I did give you the c that's right.
Speaker 1: And that's what that telecaster used for in the background,
isn't it.
Speaker 2: That's right, That's right. I fucking love playing that guitar.
I love it awesome. There's just something special about it. Telly.
Speaker 1: You know, oh man, I'm a huge Telly.
Speaker 2: I'm not a stract guy, but I love a fucking telecaster.
Speaker 1: Yep, same here, same here.
Speaker 2: And uh we will be at the Mint in Los
Angeles December nineteenth, so you guys make sure you get tickets.
