Speaker 1: Are making the headlines for all the right and wrong reasons.
Speaker 2: One O one one double JRI rock News brought to
Speaker 2: you this morning by jrr's Tuesday ticket takeover, happening all
Speaker 2: day today on the JRR Instagram at one oh one

Speaker 1: Yep, big JRR soh coming you could be there. Pierce

Speaker 1: Daisy Gred.
Speaker 2: Just go check out the post at one o one
Speaker 2: one WJR on insta comment leaving hashtag JR rocks tag
Speaker 2: somebody you'd like to bring that simple and they picked
Speaker 2: multiple winners too. An example of how time just uh
Speaker 2: keeps on chugging along and in a blink of an
Speaker 2: like it's been twenty years already. That's what this past
Speaker 2: Sunday marked a grim date in rock history. Was the
Speaker 2: twentieth anniversary of the death of Dimebag DARRYL.
Speaker 1: Abbott's I had a feeling you're going to say that.
Speaker 2: Of course. Dime killed on murdered on stage as he
Speaker 2: performed with Damage Plan post Pantera years at the Al
Speaker 2: Rosavilla Club in Columbus, Ohio, shot and killed by a
Speaker 2: twenty five year old ex marine named Nathan Gale. Gail
Speaker 2: murdered a total of four people and wounded three others
Speaker 2: before being killed by police responding to the scene minutes
Speaker 2: after Gaile began his rampage. That thing would have been
Speaker 2: a lot worse had that cop not shown up when
Speaker 2: he did.
Speaker 1: Oh god, Yeah, remember the feeling you got in your
Speaker 1: stomach when you heard about this.
Speaker 2: I absolutely remember it. We were in our old studio
Speaker 2: over there like it was yesterday, and when we both
Speaker 2: got to news, we were like, no, why murder on stage?
Speaker 2: What in a club? And it was just it was surreal. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just horrible.
Speaker 1: It was kind of similar. No, I'm not even gonna
Speaker 1: equate it, but it was just, yeah, it blew me away.
Speaker 2: We had some surprise news announced by longtime Iron Maiden
Speaker 2: drummer Nicko McBrain on this past Saturday, where he said
Speaker 2: he was quitting touring with Iron Maiden after forty two
Speaker 2: years behind the drum kit. Niko is seventy two years old.
Speaker 2: He played his final show the day he announced he
Speaker 2: was retiring from touring with Maiden, Saturday Night in Brazil.
Speaker 2: Of course, he has made known his health issues, including
Speaker 2: a stroke several years ago, which he battled back from,
Speaker 2: but by his own admission, has not regained full capability
Speaker 2: to perform quite a few Maiden songs that are very
Speaker 2: intricate in nature, and his bandmates have been completely supportive, saying,
Speaker 2: no problem, we just won't play those songs. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: that has been the mantra they've been going by ever
Speaker 2: since that. But I guess Nicko has just got to
Speaker 2: the point where he's like, look, enough's enough. My body
Speaker 2: is just not there. So Simon Dawson, former session drummer
Speaker 2: and made bassist Steve Harris's longtime bandmate in British Lion,
Speaker 2: will be taken over, so the drums and the tours
Speaker 2: moving forward, but Nico will still still be in the
Speaker 2: Maiden family, mixed with projects you know in the future.
Speaker 1: Did he tell the guys ahead of time or just
Speaker 1: announce it on stage?
Speaker 2: No, I'm sure it was announced in the day and
Speaker 2: then that night was the final show, so obviously this
Speaker 2: is something that the band probably collectively planned a timeline
Speaker 2: announcement on. But he lives down in the Boca area. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: he normally does his rock and roll ribs parking lot party.
Speaker 2: This year, I guess that's not happening, but yeah, he
Speaker 2: owns a great barbecue restaurant down in Coral Springs. You've
Speaker 2: ever been.
Speaker 1: There, Lover our engineer, shout out, Lover for all you do.
Speaker 1: He's gone and eaten there many a times and watched
Speaker 1: that concert.
Speaker 2: Guns N' Roses announcing a twenty twenty five tour of
Speaker 2: Europe in the Middle East, including some places the band
Speaker 2: has never played before. One of those would be Saudi Arabia,
Speaker 2: which now you know these days, artists get some pushback
Speaker 2: from some groups when they announced that they're going to
Speaker 2: do anything in Saudi Arabia, of course because of the
Speaker 2: human rights record there. But they stroke big checks in
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia, not all money, and I'm sorry, at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, maybe a musician, but you gotta
Speaker 2: eat and it's a business, so you know, they'd probably
Speaker 2: be dumb to turn that down. Also going to be
Speaker 2: playing Georgia, Lithuania, Luxembourg for the first time as well,
Speaker 2: taken out with him public and meet rival sons and
Speaker 2: the reconstituted Sex Pistols, which Frank Carter now vocals. When
Speaker 2: the Pistols have been doing shows here as of late,
Speaker 2: that I think that's kind of a cool pairing because
Speaker 2: if you if you're a longtime Guns and Roses fan,
Speaker 2: you remember when they first hit the scene back in
Speaker 2: the eighties. There are a lot of comparisons, not so
Speaker 2: much musically, but attitude wise to the Sex Pistols, just
Speaker 2: the no holds barred fu here we are like us
Speaker 2: hate us whatever. This is what you got.
Speaker 1: Think of the people in Saudi Arabia who have heard
Speaker 1: and seen on video whatever like Sweet Child of My Mind,
Speaker 1: and now they're gonna get to see it performed. That's
Speaker 1: I mean, that's huge.
Speaker 2: You know, Joe Satriani and Steve v launch the satch
Speaker 2: Vi band. They have now obviously they've done their G
Speaker 2: two tour or G three tour I'm sorry for for years.
Speaker 2: But now they're like, look, we're we're gonna fuse together
Speaker 2: and literally become a band. And they're going to do that.
Speaker 2: Announcing surfing with the hydri European Tour. So Joe Satriani
Speaker 2: and Steve Vai, along with each of their respective bands
Speaker 2: you know, have now merged as one. We'll see how
Speaker 2: that goes. That ought to be interesting. So we got
Speaker 2: here System of a Down announcing three stadium shows next year.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be big MetLife Stadium with Coorn August. That's
Speaker 2: gonna be August twenty eighth, August thirty first Soldier Field
Speaker 2: in Chicago with Avenged Sevenfold Summer vacations anyone. And then
Speaker 2: September three they'll team up with Deftones for a show
Speaker 2: in Toronto at Rogers Stadium.
Speaker 1: All good pairings for the other band too, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so Corn Avenged and and he said de Tones yep,
Speaker 1: So three System stadium shows next year. And finally there's this.
Speaker 2: From over the weekend and indie wrestling outfit UH in
Speaker 2: Chicago was holding holding one of their events over the weekend,
Speaker 2: and UH, we've we've got you know, wrestlers all have
Speaker 2: their own gimmicks, ye saylo to Stephen Flow. Steve Stephen
Speaker 2: Flow is a grunge type wrestler that's greareat comes out
Speaker 2: comes out with not one but two flannel shirts, wearing
Speaker 2: one and one tied around his waist. The the Doc
Speaker 2: Martin boots the whole deal and reworked lyrical versions of
Speaker 2: Pearl Jams even flow to rather say Stephen Flow as
Speaker 2: his entrance. Of course, once this got social media got
Speaker 2: ahold of this, they jumped in in earnest, you know,
Speaker 2: suggesting finishing moves the last kiss, don't get caught in
Speaker 2: a yellow leadbetter.
Speaker 1: Steven Flo.
Speaker 2: I love it. He's a couple decades late on the
Speaker 2: whole grunge thing, but.
Speaker 1: Still, although it's probably really hard to wrestle in a flannel,
Speaker 1: Stephen Flow, everybody Bucky in the morning.
Speaker 2: This is lynching Taco on j r r
