Speaker 2: hour to get in on trying to win that flyaway

Speaker 2: Specific contest number there to text to two hundred two
Speaker 2: hundred one, emphasize that. All right, your rock news for
Speaker 2: this week. I got news yesterday that funk rock pioneer
Speaker 2: sly Stone had passed away. Obviously from sly and the family,
Speaker 2: Stone really laid the groundwork for a lot of other
Speaker 2: artists contemporaries of his and the style that slice Stone
Speaker 2: developed that rolled out in nineteen sixty eight. He passed
Speaker 2: away at the age of eighty two after a prolonged
Speaker 2: battle with COPD and some other underlying health issues. Much
Speaker 2: more on sly on our Facebook page if you would
Speaker 2: like to take a look at that. Obviously, many of
Speaker 2: you were at one or both of the Metallicas shows
Speaker 2: this past weekend at Raymond James Stadium with JRR. By
Speaker 2: all accounts, everybody seemed to just an absolute blast.
Speaker 1: I've heard just today, you know, four days removed from
Speaker 1: the Friday show, three different people already texted it, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, this show was so awesome Sundays as well.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Sunday show, one fan in attendance in particular
Speaker 2: had his attention caught when Kirk and Rob went into
Speaker 2: their nightly Doodle section where they improvise and go off
Speaker 2: and just jam on something different in every city that
Speaker 2: they play in on the seventy two tour, those of
Speaker 2: you who are fans of the death metal genre might
Speaker 2: have picked up on this. Kirk and Rob featured a
Speaker 2: segment of Pull the Plug from Florida death metalers Death.
Speaker 2: Terry Butler, who played bass on that nineteen eighty eight
Speaker 2: Leprosy album that featured that song, was there and he
Speaker 2: was like, these guys are no waylay my music. So
Speaker 2: that is that is super cool and it just shows you,
Speaker 2: you know, and the guys of Metallic you as a fan.
Speaker 2: You know this. They're fans of other bands music as well,
Speaker 2: and they want to acknowledge that and they do it
Speaker 2: in many different ways and this is just one of those.
Speaker 2: But that I thought that was pretty damn cool man.
Speaker 2: Of course, Death started in Chuck's garage literally off of
Speaker 2: Palm Springs Road and right here in Altamont Springs way
Speaker 2: back in the day. And you know, paid the way
Speaker 2: for a whole honor of music. So yeah, they are
Speaker 2: you know what. Metallica just gets it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, just like that concert they did at
Speaker 3: that football stadium for all the fans, you know, and
Speaker 3: it's like everything they do, I mean, like that the
Speaker 3: way they were paying respects to Ice nine kills and cool.
Speaker 2: Uh. Speaking of Metallica, you may have bought a guitar
Speaker 2: from an anonymous seller on eBay or reverb. If you
Speaker 2: have in the past few years, there's a chance you
Speaker 2: own a Kirk Hammet guitar. Did somebody steal No, he
Speaker 2: sell he has. He said he's got all these guitars
Speaker 2: because he's always buying guitars and uh, he doesn't like
Speaker 2: guitars sitting around not being played, so he'll sell them.
Speaker 2: So in hopes of somebody buying them. He does, he
Speaker 2: keeps himself anonymous when he sells some You may have
Speaker 2: a Kirk Hammt guitar if you've purchased one via eBay
Speaker 2: or reverb in the last few years. Wow, how about that? Yeah,
Speaker 2: don't know how you would go about proving it, but
Speaker 2: it's cool to think.
Speaker 1: About, and you could somehow get in touch with Kirk.
Speaker 2: And behind it. Hey, did you does this look familiar?
Speaker 2: Send him a picture. Triumph, as I hinted at last week,
Speaker 2: did play a reunion set before the Stanley Cup Final
Speaker 2: Game two in Edmonton this past weekend. They did a
Speaker 2: three song set. Notably missing was bassist Mike Levine. He
Speaker 2: did not participate with Rick Emmett and Gil Moore for
Speaker 2: the set. Why did Mike Levine miss Triumphs sets? After?
Speaker 2: You know the band hasn't played together in eons and
Speaker 2: that's a big deal. You're not I canna believe why
Speaker 2: he missed. It's not that he didn't want to do it,
Speaker 2: he said. He goes up here in Canada, we have
Speaker 2: this socialized medicine and it takes forever to get an
Speaker 2: appointment with a specialist and his appointment with the specialist
Speaker 2: for whatever he's having done, conflicted with that set of
Speaker 2: three songs. So you're like to take a pass, guys,
Speaker 2: I don't want to go to the back of the
Speaker 2: line again.
Speaker 1: That is.
Speaker 2: Oh ma shit, That was his explanation the one time Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, back to the beginning. Final Black Sabbath performance

Speaker 2: hard rock and heavy metal will be serving as openers.
Speaker 2: It will be streamed. It is going to be streamed.
