00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:15.160
Smiles. Everyone smiles, and welcome
to Fantasy Island on Back to the Eighties
2
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:23.800
radio tattoo. That's your line is
next, tattoo, tattoo, your line
3
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.359
is next, tattoo. Where are
you thanking? Momory Mouth? I already
4
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.159
need a line and I got thoo, cruel taps. I need to come
5
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.079
down, tattoo. What have we
talked about, my friend, that you
6
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.600
have to leave those things in the
past. They are no good for you.
7
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.799
Mouth. I cannot leave them in
the past because I go back to
8
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.880
the past, and I go back
to the eighties, and I bring nothing
9
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:51.000
but strippers and fine rubs with me. Oh look, it's the plane.
10
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.600
But the plane is coming. We
are going to have our villagers. I
11
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:02.079
wonder if they have some hooch.
This is Fantasy Island, and today we
12
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:07.359
have two very special people. We
have Russell Brown, who dreams of going
13
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.959
back to the eighties and continuing his
quest for his one and only love.
14
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:19.159
And also along the way, we
have Stevie Lobes, who is with us
15
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:26.200
and wants to get his fantasy of
becoming an MLB player. Today we are
16
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:32.079
going back to the eighties on Fantasy
Island. What do you say tattoo.
17
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.680
Tattoo tattoo? Are you done both? Would you like to take my Columbians
18
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:44.719
looking most relationships? You're useless tattoo. Let's go back back to the eighties.
19
00:01:45.120 --> 00:02:23.520
I need a line of Bussler.
Maybe back to the eighties radio.
20
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.599
This isn't the Scott from Scotta Win

But first with me today, as
he is every Friday, is a
31
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.800
man who many claim was created in
one of Cheech and Chong's labs while filming
32
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.759
up in Smoke. Whenever he is
pulled over by the cops, he makes
33
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:25.039
it a point to show them his
blockbuster in Hollywood video card as his official
34
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.719

80
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.439
Welcome back everybody. How you babies
hanging? And that This is the
81
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.480
chang of Tiscano and Chang and you
were locked and loaded to back to the
82
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:38.600
eighties. That was Aerosmith, a
track off of Rock and a Hard Placed,
83
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.639
an album that was put out in
nineteen eighty two, and that was
84
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.120
a great song When Lightning Strikes.
That was a tour that Chang went to.
85
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.480
I have a whole story for that, but that's on another show.
86
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.399
Now, Tiscano, we are going
to get down in dirty into the rock
87
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:56.079
and roll element. And I mean
we've covered metal, we've covered new wave.
88
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.639
Now a lot of bands that are
put on a lot of these doesn't
89
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.079
matter. We're going to talk about
bands that we're not categorized as metal,
90
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.399
new wave or alternative, but just
your steak and potato type rock and roll
91
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.680
bands. And that was the first
band that I had a toss up because
92
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.600
I think Errol Smith is a steak
and potatoes kind of a rock band,
93
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.279
would you not agree? I love
Aerosmith the eighties For everybody listening, the
94
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:31.439
eighties saw everything from enthusiasm to neon
pink socks worn by men. Creativity was
95
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.759
expressed so much in the eighties that
artists wore their individuality, and they wore
96
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:41.679
it with pride. The nineteen eighties
music scene is possibly considered as one of
97
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.960
the greatest and to a lot of
people, the last of the greatest decades
98
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.799
in the evolution of music, and
in this case rock music. Yes,
99
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.240
I would like to slap high five
of that guy. As a matter of
100
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:00.279
fact, I'm gonna give you a
high five. Yes, wait, I
101
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.360
do that again, Do it again. It was a great high five.
102
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.559
Now, I don't know if you're
sure. It was a little week that
103
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.480
was weak, but that was kind
of like a foot That was like a
104
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.399
foot five. Now, Aerosmith,
we were just talking about some of our
105
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.120
listeners know, and I don't know
if you know. Aerosmith released three albums
106
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.279
in the decade of the eighties,
and of course the album I just mentioned,
107
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.600
Rock and a Hard Place, which
was put out August of nineteen eighty
108
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.240
two. Then later on down the
road. They went in with Done with
109
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:37.840
Mirrors, which was also released in
November of eighty five. Permanent Vacation followed
110
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.960
them up in August of eighty seven, and then in nineteen eighty nine,
111
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:46.000
towards the end of the eighties,
kind of where rock and roll metal was
112
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.320
losing ground to grunge, Pump came
out. Now on a personal note,
113
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.200
I was a great fan of rock
and a hard place. There's a couple
114
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.240
of tracks that I do like on
a Permanent Vacation, Done with Mirrors,
115
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.840
a couple of acts on Pump,
But I will have to stay from eighty
116
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.799
five to eighty nine, I kind
of feel that Aerosmith got a little bit
117
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.039
pop rock. I don't want to
offend anybody, but Lord knows, I'll
118
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:15.960
do what I have to do.
In chang terms, they sucked. Well.
119
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.519
You gotta keep in mind that after
eighty nine, you know, as
120
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.399
soon as the nineties started, everything
seemed to go a totally different direction.
121
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.320
Yeah. I don't even want to
get into that because that's definitely a subject
122
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.320
that we will touch upon on another
show. Definitely. So you're talking about
123
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.360
Aerosmith. Aerosmith was one of these
bands that as you mentioned last week there
124
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.080
was a point where they even made
some music without Aerosmith at some point.
125
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.480
Yes, there was a point right
before Rock in a Hard Place in eighty
126
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.200
two where Steven Tyler left the band, and I think they were having engle
127
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.399
problems. I'm not too sure.
I didn't study the glossary on Aerosmith history
128
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.159
to bring that about, but bringing
that point out like you did, Yeah,
129
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:00.960
there was a point and an album
where they were not led by Stephen
130
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.559
Tyler. I don't remember offhand the
name of that album, but I'll tell
131
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.960
you right now it sucks. I
do want to get into one thing as
132
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.440
a side note, it opens up
the path so that people, especially the
133
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:18.240
younger generation, can understand why it
is that eighties music became so huge and
134
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.360
it continues to be so big.
You got to remember that this decade,
135
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:26.120
the eighties, it set a standard
for music to evolve four years to come.
136
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:33.279
And one of the most recognized advancements
during that era was of course MTV,
137
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.759
which first debuted August first, nineteen
eighty one, and it gave way
138
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:43.200
obviously to the very first video jock
and MTV was an outlet for music videos,
139
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.720
so people had the opportunity to actually
view their favorite artists, those that
140
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.639
they had always heard on radio and
now view them. If they can't see
141
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.840
them in concert, what better way
to see them than on television making a
142
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.399
video. And at twelve oh one
am on August first, nineteen eighty one,
143
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:09.080
the first words on MTV were heard
in eight seven six five four,
144
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:22.679
we've gone from main engine start.
We have radio ladies and gentlemen rock and
145
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:35.559
roll. And what did they do? Their very first video played on MTV
146
00:12:35.279 --> 00:13:03.120
was video Killed the Radio Star by
the Buggles Mine we contry wine We've gone.
147
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.120
Now. That's a band that we
talked about on our New Wave show.
148
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.559
But the reason I bring that up
chang is because although that song has
149
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.159
a lot of truth to it,
but I gotta tell you, I think
150
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.840
it did totally the opposite for a
lot of bands, which is, instead
151
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:26.799
of killing the radio star, it
advanced their career. And we were talking
152
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:33.720
about Aerosmith and MTV was a major
factor in bringing Aerosmith back to the charts.
153
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.679
Yes, I concur with you on
your entire statement, but I will
154
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:45.200
not agree where I personally think a
man of radio, where radio was my
155
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.360
babysitter, is a very small chang. Before I was changed, I was
156
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.159
just an ang and I have to
stand by. Video did kill the radio,
157
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.600
And I felt MTV opened up the
floodgates and the avenues to where it
158
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.720
didn't matter what kind of musical talent
or range that you had. It mattered
159
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.759
on how good you looked, what
fashion you were wearing, Oh did you
160
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:15.480
do something theatrically phenomenal for the camera. This is remember where a lot of
161
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:20.639
bands were hard rock bands were doing
videos, but they were lip singing,
162
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.320
they were fake playing, their instruments
were mark well right, of course,
163
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.679
you know that's it's part of getting
them to be perfect on television. But
164
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.120
you gotta remember MTV was going strong
for the entire decade. I'm gonna say
165
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.600
up to eighty nine. I know
people are going to argue that it went
166
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.039
on for a few more years,
for a total of fourteen years. Whatever.
167
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:46.440
I think that by eighty nine it
was over. Why because complaining whiney
168
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:52.679
viewers said that they played too many
videos, and so just as MC Hammer's
169
00:14:52.720 --> 00:15:00.360
career thun stinting, it's over and
that was it. And what happened because
170
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.919
of the recognition of MTV some other
stations got involved. You know, now
171
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:09.399
they see the big dollar sign.
And then here comes HBO's video jukebox.
172
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:15.159
H one WTBS aired night track,
the ABC came out with ABC Rocks,
173
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.840
and then of course you just mentioned
VH one got its start. You know
174
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.000
what's funny that we're talking about this
really quick is if you were to flip
175
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.399
on MTV nowadays, you're not going
to get one video. It's all a
176
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.000
bunch of crappy reality shows that are
teaching our young people not having a brain
177
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.840
is adequate. And to me,
MTV remember how MTV used to start,
178
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.159
how it was blown up. That's
what needs to happen to MTV. And
179
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.279
I want to be the guy that
puts the TNT under their ass and blows
180
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:50.120
them up. Did I say,
ass, oh that's okay, put your
181
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.200
kids to bed to Chank's head ass? You mentioned Darryl Smith, Well,
182
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.559
I want to hit you up with
a band. I want to say,
183
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.159
this is my second between Queen and
that band is mine. You know they're
184
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:03.240
on a tie for second place.
This is for me personally, but this
185
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:08.240
band's seventh internationally released studio album.
The band I'm referring to is, of
186
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:15.559
course the one responsible for those about
to rock none other than A C d
187
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:37.000
C. November twenty third, nineteen
eighty one. Ac DC to me is
188
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:42.279
kind of a blues infused hard rock
band. They give me the same vibe
189
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:48.279
that Black Sabbath did. The differences
you had two guitar players. You had
190
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.039
Angus Young I'm lead guitar and the
late great Malcolm Young on a rhythm guitar.
191
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.840
And the one thing about ac DC, I will stay that these styles
192
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:07.039
and the sound of music changed with
the death to the late great Bond Scott
193
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:12.920
and the music he made with hc
DC in comparison to when Brian Johnson took
194
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:18.880
over the microphone Realm and of course
came out with Back in Black. I
195
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.839
don't know if some of our listeners
know that Back in Black was actually written
196
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:29.559
before Bond Scott passed away, and
they were supposed to be going into the
197
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.839
studio with him at one particular time
to record that album. But obviously he
198
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:40.480
died choked on his own vomit in
his vehicle after drinking one night and Paris,
199
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:45.359
so he wasn't around and they were
very lucky and very fortunate to have
200
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.119
scrambled in the short amount of time
that they did to find Brian Johnson to
201
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:55.559
take over the realm, especially with
his vocal range as well and him sounding
202
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.160
so much like he did sound very
similar to On Scott both. The one
203
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:06.640
thing I will have to be critical
on is his voice seemed a little bit
204
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:11.319
higher in comparison to Bond Scott to
where you got shot the real Way to
205
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:17.920
Gil, you know what I mean, kind of like a rumble into a
206
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.759
high pitch. But with either singer, I thought they remained to be kings
207
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.480
that needed to be crowned. That
is a great band that you bring up
208
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:32.000
because they get thrown into the category
bro like I know you've seen on so
209
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:36.400
many lists, into the heavy metal
realm, just like that Haylan did,
210
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:42.039
and they are farther from being kind
of classified in a heavy metal sound by
211
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.160
far. I think personally, I
don't know if you would agree with Yeah,
212
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.759
no, you're absolutely right. But
you know what I think that these
213
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.480
people who put them in these categories, I don't even think they listen to
214
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.480
the bands or to the music.
What I think they go by is their
215
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.039
album art. Sometimes they'll look at
an album, aren't They'll go, oh,
216
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.680
this has horns on it. It
must be metal and then that's that's
217
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.400
what happens. The one release of
this album was a follow up to They're
218
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.319
highly successful. Of course you mentioned
it back in Black Now for those about
219
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.680
to rock that I mentioned sold over
four million copies in the US and had
220
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:22.960
ended up ac DC's first and only
and this is sad first and only number
221
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:29.359
one album in the US until the
release of Black Ice in October of twenty
222
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:33.720
eight cans. That's just so ridiculous. They didn't get any credit throughout the
223
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.960
eighties and into the nineties. But
then again, you know, this is
224
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.599
an eighties show. But when they
skipped into the nineties, they went through
225
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.960
all kinds of personal changes. They
no longer had Phil Rudd on the drum
226
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.200
kit. I forget the guy's name, but they had the guy that played
227
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.599
in Midnight Oil, not the lead
singer, the bald guy that looked scary
228
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.400
he did, you know, but
they had the drummer. They kind of
229
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.599
were getting pushed by their record company
to put out albums, and I think
230
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:02.839
they won a little bit commercialized,
but they kind of tried to keep the
231
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:07.440
same formula that they were thriving on
with their blues rock in nineteen eighty one.
232
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.880
When they did come out with the
album, Rolling Stone magazine declared it
233
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.200
to be a CDC's absolute best album. Ember. Now another band I got
234
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.440
I'm sure You're gonna You're gonna trip
out on. This band is a band
235
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.799
called Deep Purple. Now Deep Purple
evolved in the early seventies, as a
236
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.039
matter of fact, with lead singer
Ian Gillen, who nineteen seventy took the
237
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:33.119
role of Jesus Christ superstar in Andrew
Lloyd Webber's play Jesus Christal. But this
238
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.319
band, you know, they evolved
a lot of the turmoil that rock bands
239
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.519
do suffer in the business. They
went through some changes. They had just
240
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.759
got back with their lead singer,
Ian Gillen. He came back to the
241
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.000
band. It was John Lord,
you know, it was Richie Blackmore,
242
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:55.920
Roger Glover, Idian Pace, the
original lineup came back in the eighties and
243
00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:59.880
they came up with an album called
Perfect Strangers. I went to this tour
244
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.279
not only once, but three times. I went to that show at that
245
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:10.039
venue at Irvine Meadows all three nights. They turned it up. Now,
246
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:14.000
this is a band that evolved from
the seventies, but yet they kept tight
247
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.720
and they came to their format and
I think that was one of the greater
248
00:21:17.799 --> 00:22:03.720
albums in nineteen eighty two Warriors.
They were recognized as one of the pioneers,
249
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:10.079
if not the pioneers of heavy metal
and modern hard hard rock. Yes,
250
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.319
and he was also in Rainbow.
And as a matter of fact,
251
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:18.720
if you like White Snake, David
Coverdale, he used to be in Deep
252
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:23.359
Purple if I'm not mistaken, between
nineteen seventy four nineteen seventy six. Now,
253
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.480
that was a trippy band, you
know, But I don't want to
254
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.279
get back into the seventies really quick. Rainbow was a band that evolved in
255
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:33.680
the seventies. Rainbow had such a
lead singers at Rodney James Deal. They
256
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:38.400
also had David Coverdale. They also
went to so many different changes. They
257
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.319
had Glenn Hughes, the bass player, was a singing lyrics and one of
258
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:47.119
his better songs was USh and that
was in nineteen seventy nine. I believe,
259
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.599
but Coverdale, I mean Coverdale came
into the eighties. He brought in
260
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:52.440
White Snakes. It's another great band
that you bring up that I don't think
261
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.960
is heavy metal. I wouldn't even
categorize them as pretty metal, glad metal.
262
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:00.039
Sorry if I offend anybody out there, but I wouldn't put them in
263
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.839
there. They were kind of a
ballad rock, kind of a pop.
264
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.839
But if you listen to White Snake
albums, they have a lot of the
265
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.880
nucleus of old hardcore rock and roll, and Coverdale, one of the greatest
266
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:18.640
vocalists I think in rock and roll
heavy metal of any era, brought it
267
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.039
home perfectly clear in the eighties now. I don't know if you notice.
268
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:27.240
Also in the late eighties, Coverdale
went and did a solo project with Jimmy
269
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:33.599
Page, the great guitar players of
the legendary Zeppa, and that was Coverdale
270
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.480
Page. I also went to that
tour. Phenomenal. They both sounded hot.
271
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.759
I saw Coverdale cover some led Zeppelin
songs and at that time I was
272
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.119
like, Robert who, Robert who, if you are. The amazing thing
273
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.640
about David Coverdale, and we talked
about this in the previous show, is
274
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.319
that even at his age now,
when he does a concert, he can
275
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.440
still hit those high notes. I
mean, that's to admire because YaST bands,
276
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.720
and the one that really just comes
to my mind is bon Jovi.
277
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.920
The guy can no longer reach those
notes. He makes the audience. He
278
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:10.039
makes the audience sing. Have you
noticed that even Billy Idol does that when
279
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:11.319
he has to hit those really high
notes. What do they do? They
280
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.640
turn the mic over the audience.
That's how you know, I mean the
281
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.000
guy. They can't hit those notes
anymore. And that's one sad thing as
282
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.960
all of us from the eighties grow
older, where we see some of our
283
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.400
iconic bands that we loved in our
artists, you know, fall to to
284
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.279
you know, mortality, to where
they can't keep up what they used to.
285
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.799
And I'm going to go on the
record right here, I'm gonna say
286
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.640
it loud and proud that if you
cannot carry the notes that you once did,
287
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.480
get the hell off the stage and
just call it a career. You
288
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:44.920
know, sell your music to some
car companies. There's some beard companies,
289
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.480
you know, and do the right
thing and just enjoy, enjoy your retirement
290
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:53.799
exactly. Another one of the great
front men that can reach those high notes
291
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:57.480
is De Snyder. Oh yes,
I mean, look at d Snyder from
292
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:03.240
Twisted Sister. The I can just
rock at his age now. As a
293
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.519
matter of fact, De Snyder put
out a track I think it was a
294
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.480
couple of years ago. Yeah,
that was it, the one he did
295
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:12.400
for cancer. Now that song,
yeah, it's We're not gonna take it
296
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:18.759
anymore. And he did a video
in the desert. We've got the right
297
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:26.680
to choose it. There ain't no
we will lose it. This is a
298
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:37.960
life, this is a song.
We'll fight the pals that be. Just
299
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:52.960
don't pick goddestaickahause you don't know us, you don't belong. Not gonna take
300
00:25:53.039 --> 00:26:04.079
it, well, we are gonna
take it, not gonna take that anymore.
301
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:12.519
He nailed every note, but he
was able to slow it down.
302
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:15.279
I mean, the freaking song brought
tear to my eyes, and on the
303
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.440
check, it takes a lot to
bring tears to my eyes. I have
304
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.559
to even cut honians. Look at
my children, look at my grandchildren,
305
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.960
look at my bills. That D. Snyder song brought me to tears.
306
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:32.000
And not being in LA and not
being in LA brings me to tears.
307
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:36.079
As a matter of fact, I'm
crying in this bottle right now. Fireball.
308
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:40.440
Thanks. I give a lot of
respect to D. Snyder because when
309
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:44.720
their guitar player passed away of cancer. I think it was last year,
310
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:48.519
maybe maybe a year before they came
out and made a statement that they would
311
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.240
no longer perform as Twisted sister.
I give them a lot of respect,
312
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.200
a lot of admiration, because truly, I feel that's the way it should
313
00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:03.440
be. We've discussed this a multiple
occasions. How ridiculous ridiculous is that some
314
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:08.839
bands carry on when other members have
fallen or legalities have split them off.
315
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:15.640
Stones the Rolling Stones, now there's
another band that that was kicking butt in
316
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.359
the avia. It's like, you
know, you see some bands and you
317
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.000
go like, okay, when is
that time that you call it quits?
318
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:26.880
And I admire people when they want
to keep working because maybe their workaholics.
319
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:29.920
Maybe they just think that if they
stop working, they'll die. Whatever the
320
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.359
reason is, that's great if you
can still reach those notes, right,
321
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.000
if you can still make music and
perform. But what if you can,
322
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.279
as you say, start to hang
it up. Now, I'm I'm wondering
323
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.279
if the next time The Rolling Stones
come out they're gonna be on walkers.
324
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:48.240
I wonder if they're cannot pacemakers.
I wonder if Keith Richards is going to
325
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.400
be snorting blow or if he'll be
snorting geritol. I don't know, that's
326
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:55.920
that's a feat. We will have
to wait and see. But that's another
327
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:59.599
band that good. God, hurry
out if you just joined us. This
328
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.079
is from Toscato and Chang. This
is back to the Eighties. We are
329
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:08.759
covering part four of our rock and
Roll Cruise. Stay tuned because there's a
330
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:14.599
lot more to come on this Back
to the Eighties show. Hell of a
331
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:19.359
lot more. No, if it's
totally tubular, red or awesome, it's
332
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:26.519
on Back to the eighties. If
it's popular, we do it totally awesome.
333
00:28:26.880 --> 00:29:03.960
And now back to the eighties with
Toscato and Chang. You're listening to
334
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.599
Back to the Eighties to Scunner from
Scindo and Chang and this his Journey Stone
335
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:14.119
in Love, the seventh studio album
by Journey that was released in nineteen eighty
336
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:18.599
one and at top the American Billboard
two hundred chart, featuring four hit Billboard
337
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:23.680
Hot one hundred singles, which don't
Stop Believing you know what I gotta tell
338
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:27.039
you, That's one of my favorite
Journey songs. I do appreciate Journey.
339
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:30.640
I do give them a lot of
respect. That's a band that is only
340
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:36.119
three point five hours from the area
away from where I am located now.
341
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:38.599
So if anybody wants to go on
their Google Maps and you want to look
342
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:45.680
in every diverse area around, you
will find out that I am three point
343
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.759
five hours now, you're three point
five hours away from the Bay. Yes,
344
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.160
I am three point five hours from
the Bay. As a matter of
345
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.920
fact, my daughter was out here
visiting and her and my grandson and my
346
00:29:55.960 --> 00:30:00.839
granddaughter got lots on the highway and
they ended up in San Francisco, almost
347
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:04.759
four hours away from where I am
sitting at this exact moment talking about this
348
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:10.519
exact band from San Francisco, calif
Or on your journey. Now, I
349
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:15.119
will say this about Journey. I
think a journey evolved into a great band.
350
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:19.240
Adding Steve Perry was phenomenal. Steve
Perry, to me, has the
351
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:25.319
voice of an angel. Steve Perry's
vocals are just phenomenal. I did not
352
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.519
like when Steve Perry went solo in
the eighties, and you know, he
353
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:33.640
was pretty much to me, you're
on Mark and Kim Show, You're on
354
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.240
coast back in LA And I couldn't
handle that. I really couldn't handle that.
355
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.720
Yeah, Well, I mean,
as you mentioned, I mean there's
356
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:42.799
got to be some type of transition. As you get older and as you
357
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:48.839
pass by these different stages in your
life, you sometimes try different things.
358
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.799
They don't always work. And in
this case, although his loyal followers,
359
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:57.079
and I consider myself one of Steve
Perry's fans, but I do believe honestly
360
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:02.920
that he should have remained with the
To me, the downfall of Journey was
361
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.440
when Greg Rawley left the band and
they filled it him with a guy named
362
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:12.519
Jonathan Kane. Why are you playing
the keyboard like a guitar That looks weak?
363
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:15.599
You know what, maybe Jonathan Kane
should have just been left in the
364
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:18.279
studio. That's a lot of hand. Well, you know, my apologies
365
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.200
to Jonathan Kane. If you're listening. If you have a problem with me,
366
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.759
I'll tell you where I live and
we can sit down like a grown
367
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:30.839
men and we can share some of
this fine fireball sweetened whiskey that I'm drinking
368
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:36.079
right now, and I will knock
your socks off. Jonathan Kane. I
369
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:38.400
hate to burst your bubble, but
now because you said that, I'm going
370
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:44.440
to hit you with a band that
road to the top of the chart selling
371
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:49.680
twenty two million albums. They sold
twenty two million albums in the US forty
372
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:59.119
million worldwide gold and platinum records worldwide
hits that included take It on the Run
373
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:29.759
and Can't fight this feeling. I
can't fight this then other then Ario Speedwagon
374
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:32.720
and and if you're an eighty cent
you gotta be a lover of Ario Speedwagon.
375
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:37.400
I mean, come on, all, my dad, there it is.
376
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:44.759
I'm not a big fan of Arial
Feedwagon. There it is again.
377
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:47.119
I don't want to step on on
anybody's toe, So please take the dog
378
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:51.039
you already did by just laughing abody. We'll just, you know, take
379
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:53.519
your sandals off and put them steel
toll booth on because I'm gonna step all
380
00:32:53.519 --> 00:33:01.000
over this band. Now, this
band to me kind of sounded like,
381
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:06.079
uh like Survivor, you know what
I mean. Yeah, whoa, whoa,
382
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:07.359
whoa whoa. Hey, hey,
hey, take it take it easy,
383
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:13.000
Take it easy, Take it easy, because now you're hitting on you're
384
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.640
stepping up my toes with Survivor.
I love Survivor. But we'll talk it.
385
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:19.440
We'll talk about them a little bit, talk about them later because they
386
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.920
they were out there in the eighties
along with all all six of the other
387
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:28.839
crappy rocker came out after Rocky One. I said it a pity woo,
388
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:32.440
a pity of poo. Now now
please back up here, Orio Speedwagon,
389
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:38.519
I really couldn't consider this band a
rock band. I considered them more of
390
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:46.160
a pop temple rock band. Of
course you wouldn't you know. Now here's
391
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:52.480
a funny thing. I did have
the pleasure or displeasure of meeting lead singer
392
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:57.000
Kevin Cronin at a golf tournament for
Mark and Brian. That's right, The
393
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:02.640
Kings are mentors Mark and Brian Samuel's
radio back in the days when KLOS was
394
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:07.359
a good station, which now they
suck. And I hope that you keep
395
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:09.280
that in the show. I want
them to know that. But I met
396
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:15.920
Kevin Cronin and he was nothing but
rude, arrogant, uh, kind of
397
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.800
like through a hissy fit. Now, I don't know. I don't know
398
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:25.239
it's because I called him mac Davis
or because oh well, let me finish
399
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:31.800
my story now. I was deep
into six rum and cokes by the time
400
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:37.199
I met mister Cronin on the golf
course at the Mark and Brian golf tournament.
401
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:39.719
Now, I was not playing golf
because I can't even play minuture golf.
402
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:43.559
Let's get that out there. I
agree. I summoned him for an
403
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:47.239
autograph. Everybody else was getting autographs. I got autographs from Cheech Marin,
404
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:53.360
I got autographs from d Snyder.
I've got autographs from Mac Davis, as
405
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:59.079
a matter of fact, several artists
that were out there. So I went
406
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:01.679
upon Kevin own him. Now he
had all gray hair at this time.
407
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.880
Okay, so he he kind of
had hair like one of the Golden girls.
408
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.639
But I called him over. I
said, hey, Mac Davis,
409
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:15.519
do you think you could sign my
T shirt? He put his club down.
410
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:21.679
He goes, look, Jackass,
I'm not Mac Davis. I'm Kevin
411
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:27.039
Cronin of the great band Ario Speedwagon. I said, well, that's a
412
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:31.719
very good self observation. But I
find you guys weak poppy, and your
413
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:37.639
hair sucks and you look like mac
Davis. No, you didn't did not
414
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:40.400
have him. You don't believe me. We can make a phone call on
415
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:45.119
another show to my good friend Al
and he will verify that story. All
416
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:49.320
right, So let me get this
straight. Now, did you know it
417
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:52.039
wasn't mac Davis or you said mac
Davis on purpose? I said mac Davis
418
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:57.639
at first, because He was very
arrogant out there with the other golfers.
419
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:00.079
He was asking people that were standing
to be quiet, and I mean,
420
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:02.280
come on, this is a golf
tournament. We all know. We watched
421
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:07.480
some people watch golf on TV.
They're all quiet, and then you have
422
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:10.119
the announcers. Oh, he's getting
ready to set a birdie of three hundred
423
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:15.559
and forty feet, so you know
that's that's the way golfer. But this
424
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:19.599
was a rock and roll golf tournament. This was for charity. This is
425
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:23.039
Mark and Bryant. Lord knows.
Mark and Brian never ever stubbed on anybody's
426
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:27.360
toes to be quiet and to be
courteous. They were rot ruthless like us.
427
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:32.440
So therefore I thought, well,
Chang being Chang, I've stumbled into
428
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:37.199
the realm of being a stand up
comedian. I thought Punt intended it would
429
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:42.199
be funny, people would get a
kick. Obviously, Kevin Cronin didn't get
430
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:45.760
a kick, but everyone else did. So all it did was fortify my
431
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:52.440
dislike of Oreo Speedwagon. He's an
arrogant popass ass and his music sucked.
432
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:57.840
Well, I think that you are
just generalizing for one bad occasion, like
433
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:02.000
you and GNR, G and R
great band, jack athlete figure. So
434
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:07.760
okay, so here we go.
You mentioned Survivor, and I'm glad you
435
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:15.440
mentioned Survivor because their fifth album,
Vital Signs Okay, released on August first,
436
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:19.719
nineteen eighty four. What that album
was so crappy? I forgot about
437
00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:22.719
it? Keep going. The album
was their second most successful album in the
438
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:29.400
US, reaching number sixteen on the
Billboard Charts, being certified platinum. My
439
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:32.079
friend, and as a matter of
fact, I want to take you,
440
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:37.639
guys and a little survival ride with
high on you. This is the one
441
00:37:37.679 --> 00:38:00.719
and only back to the eighties.
There you stood so good, wouldn't feel
442
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:06.440
so right? Let me tell you
about the girl I've been last high.
443
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:17.320
It's understood I had to reacher,
I let the wheel options, I just
444
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:27.280
sha handed for the god started rushing
in. Now, I'm i kinder.
445
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:38.559
I'm hadn't been gonna let talking to
myself, runding in the heat. The
446

00:40:51.280 --> 00:41:36.159
girl. I must still live.
I'm fan to see now back to good,
457
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:43.199
wholesome, politically correct entertainment. Oops, rock station No. Back to
458
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:46.559
the eighties with Toscano and Chang.
Welcome back. You are on the hang
459
00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:50.519
with Toscano and Chang. Here at
back to the eighties. And that was
460
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.639
another crappy song by another craffy band
back in the eighties. The only thing
461
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:59.000
I'd ever say this band was being
on the soundtrack to Rocky There I said
462
00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:02.840
it, and I would like to
punch the eye of the tiger every time
463
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:07.519
I hear this band. This is
one of the band's strictly eighties. Born
464
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:12.440
in eighties, Some say they died
in the eighties. It doesn't matter.
465
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:15.599
You know what, if you want
eighties, you want to know what eighties
466
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:19.239
was all about? It with the
field, the field of eighties, this
467
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:22.880
is it. Yeah. Now,
now Survivor was like, please squeeze the
468
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:24.360
charman. Let's see what mister Whipple
is going to do. He's not going
469
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:27.840
to do a damn thing, just
like Survivor was not going to do a
470
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.079
damn thing to go into the nineties. All right, for all us Survivor
471
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:37.079
fans, we do not promote or
condone the crap talk on Survivor here back
472
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:39.079
to the eighties, but we do
listen to it because it is the chang.
473
00:42:39.199 --> 00:42:43.880
Yeah, that's right. Now here's
another crappy band. Oh excuse me,
474
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:50.559
I'm sorry about that. Here's another
band that let's see, I'll put
475
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:53.920
this in layman terms. They went
from the seventies into sucking. There I
476
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:59.000
said it, are you ready for
this band? And Readywood Mac. You
477
00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:02.599
know, finally we agree on something, talk about a band that I feel.
478
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:07.719
This is just me personally. I
feel as overrated, but not quite
479
00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:12.239
as overrated as Rush. But anyway, that's all we digress. Yeah,
480
00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:16.000
so Fleetwood Max I would have to
agree with you. No, no,
481
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:22.119
do you not agree? Bro?
They came out with some catastrophic music,
482
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:27.599
a heavy sound when they crew,
when they made Tusk with the USC Marching
483
00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:31.480
Band. The one thing about that
band that stood out is Lindsay Buckingham would
484
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:35.320
sing. Now, that would have
been the only reason I would have ever
485
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:37.800
wanted to hang around with him,
to get free blow. Back into the
486
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:43.920
age the cocaine use involved in Fleetwood
Mac it is said that they did enough
487
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:50.920
blow to fill eight miles worth of
a street. Can you believe that?
488
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:52.760
Now? If the chang was with
them, they would have only been able
489
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:57.960
to account for five miles. But
now this is a band that kind of
490
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:02.719
dissolved instead of evolved. In the
eighties, their music got a little poppy.
491
00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:07.079
There was a lot of kind of
mistrust in the band and you could
492
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:13.159
hear it in their music. I
believe Lindsey Buckingham took some time away from
493
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:16.559
the band in the eighties. I
believe Christine McVie and John McVie the bass
494
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:21.280
player, were going through a divorce
and all in all of their music was
495
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:25.159
sucking, and Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie
Nicks were breaking up and the mcveighs were
496
00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:32.079
breaking up. Mick Fleetwood sat behind
the kid writing talentless crap music while snorting
497
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:37.239
cocaine off his high hats. And
to me, that is weak, just
498
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:40.800
like every song they put out in
the eighties. I said it. I
499
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:46.000
said it. Now you mentioned another
artist that came out of that band,
500
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:52.000
Stevie Nicks. Oh my goodness,
Stevie Nicks rocked the scene with her debut
501
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:57.960
solo album Bella Donna in nineteen eighty
one. Now, some people say she's
502
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.559
like the good Witch. You know
what I mean, because she wore white
503
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:05.840
and she had beautiful blonde hair.
I mean, she was very attractive,
504
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:10.119
don't get me wrong, But that
kind of music, it's another. Hey,
505
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:15.000
you're listening to Mark and Kim right
here at Coast on one. So
506
00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:19.239
what do you have to say for
Edge of seventeen. I think Edge of
507
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:22.039
seventeen should have probably died at sixteen, That's what I'll say to that.
508
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:25.480
You know, that song just missed
out on the top ten on the Billboard
509
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:30.480
one, peaking at number eleven in
the US, Edge of seventeen, And
510
00:45:30.480 --> 00:46:01.960
that is hilarious. Now, you
know what's so hilarious? The Billboard top
511
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:07.639
I don't know what billboard they were, you know, striving from but the
512
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:12.440
one on rosecrans at Normandy right now, that's the one. Though. I
513
00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:15.920
believe that's by the train tracks that
nobody really sees exactly. If I would
514
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:20.599
have had a sledgehammer, or maybe
I would have had a chainsaw, I
515
00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:23.840
would have cut that billboard down because
I was like, good god, your
516
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:28.440
list of great music really sucks.
But you know what, you gotta hand
517
00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:34.360
it to her because this has been
Stevie Nick's most enduring and recognizable song,
518
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.039
Hedge of seventeen. They still played
this on the radio, did that?
519
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:39.119
Yes? They do. They overplay
it. As a matter of fact.
520
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:46.639
Bands are like Fleetwood Mac and Foreigner. Oh wa, wait a minute,
521
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:51.800
that those are the those are the
two biggest reasons why I had from radio
522
00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:57.800
sucks in Los Angeles, California.
Foreigner is an amazing band. Come on,
523
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:01.519
look at songs like Jukebox zero.
Well, great song. Maybe back
524
00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:05.519
in the seventies, seventy eight,
seventy nine there were a great band.
525
00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:08.559
But come on, when Lay first
came out, I want to know,
526
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:12.280
I thought you were gonna say,
I want to know what I was like,
527
00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:15.920
Oh my god, you guys suck
for I want to know what love
528
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:19.159
is. But I didn't want to
know what love is. I just wanted
529
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:22.880
to know what station could I put
on to where I don't hear your god
530
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:25.239
gang, there's the hater. That's
what I thought of, all right?
531
00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:31.159
Well, what about nineteen eighty three
album by zz Top called Eliminator was produced
532
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:38.800
by their band manager Bill Hamm,
and this was a song called sharp Dressed
533
00:47:39.400 --> 00:48:15.000
Man ZZ Time, Yeah, Chris
about his Well, of course it wasn't
534
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:19.320
for MTV. I don't think that
album would have done as well as it
535
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.360
did. You know, this was
about the time when Sex Sells and zz
536
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:25.679
Chop came out looking like a couple
of old perverted guys straight out of a
537
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:30.280
senior center with those long beards where
who knows what the heck was in there,
538
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:34.239
what kind of food they had eaten
weeks previously, And they came out
539
00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:38.800
to two hot smoke and chicks and
a badass ride. Unfortunately, MTV only
540
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:45.880
made one particular song really really famous
over that entire album, and that was
541
00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:51.719
Legs. Why obviously because of you
know, chicks legs and so it was
542
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:54.440
all a marketing thing. But they
that song did really, really well,
543
00:48:54.599 --> 00:49:01.079
because all guys would see when they
heard the song were those legs exactly.
544
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:07.599
You know. The only time I
would I would sometimes watch MTV out of
545
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:09.800
boredom, and I would only watch
for the Hot Chicks. I'm not gonna
546
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:13.519
lie, I'm going out right now. I'm going out right now on leg
547
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:15.920
I'll lege on my own. Yeah, I only watch the Hot Chicks to
548
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:20.519
start now. That is a great
band that did come from the seventies that
549
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:25.599
kind of had that kind of blues
Texas style a lot like a great Oh
550
00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:30.000
here's another great guy out of Austin, Texas, Steven ray Van that falls
551
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:34.920
the falls into the realm of rock
and roll in the eighties. But then
552
00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:37.360
that's a whole nother list of rock
and roll that we can go into.
553
00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:43.320
Blues Fuse, Robert Rayley, you
know what I mean. But Ray Vaughan,
554
00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:46.079
I have to say, Ray Vaughan
to me was one of my favorite
555
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:52.440
artists back in the late eighties.
Guitar Wizard, guitar God. I put
556
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:55.559
him up in the ranks of Eric
Clapton. I put him in the ranks
557
00:49:55.599 --> 00:50:00.400
of Jimmy Hendrix. I put him
in the ranks of Muddy Water Waters.
558
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:04.800
You know, I just put him
in the ranks of some of the greatest
559
00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:07.639
blues guitar players of all time.
Steven RayBan I was very blessed and fortunate
560
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:13.079
to watch team play four times in
Los Angeles. Man, what I would
561
00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:15.800
have given to have seen Stevie ray
Van while he was alive. Well,
562
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:19.599
I'll tell you what. Let's jump
over to April tenth, nineteen eighty four,
563
00:50:19.639 --> 00:50:22.320
because the Heart of Rock and Roll
was the song that was performed by
564
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:27.800
Huey Lewis in the news, and
it was and it was based on a
565
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:32.599
comment that Huey Lewis made to the
band that later he changed it because he
566
00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:36.920
mentioned to the band the heart of
rock and Roll is still beating. This
567
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:38.360
was in nineteen eighty four, of
course, and according to him, the
568
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:44.079
message of the song is that there's
real rock and roll in other places as
569
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:47.079
well, other than la in New
York. That is a band that goes
570
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:52.760
under the scope a lot. Bro
If they fall under the microscope, a
571
00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:58.039
lot of people will classify then as
kind of pop. I particularly do not,
572
00:50:58.280 --> 00:51:00.760
just probably like you dumb, A
lot of mad respect for hughe Lewis
573
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:07.760
in the news. Anybody that incorporates
brass, anybody that incorporates the sound of
574
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:15.719
horns, anybody that incorporates the feeling
of wanting to dance to just regular rock
575
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:20.719
and roll and have such a soulful
voice as Huey Lewis did, and to
576
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:25.440
have the kind of fashion that they
did. They all wore glasses, they
577
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:30.480
all wore dark sunglasses, suit They
look very business attire. I got a
578
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:34.280
lot of mad respect for Huey Lewis
in the news, and I think that
579
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:38.119
that Dan kind of got jipped a
little bit in being honored and brought up
580
00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:42.639
for the talent that they really were. A matter of a real quick story.
581
00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:47.159
I did meet Huey Lewis at one
time in nineteen eighty five in Hollywood
582
00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:53.519
on Kwega at a seventy eleven.
He was one of the coolest dudes I've
583
00:51:53.559 --> 00:51:57.199
ever met. I met him in
line. I was getting a big gulp
584
00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:00.559
and he was getting a copy.
It was about nine o'clock, no ten
585
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:02.880
o'clock in the morning. I was
a union painter at the time, so
586
00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:07.719
I met him getting my break soda
pop and of course a hot dog,
587
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:10.599
and I said, whoa huie man, I'm a big fan. Love your
588
00:52:10.679 --> 00:52:14.840
music. What are you guys going
to do next? I love how you
589
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:17.760
incorporated the Horns. He was classic
broth, totally a cool dude. Matter
590
00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:22.800
of fact, he bought my hot
dog and my big gulp and we continue
591
00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:25.800
talking all the way out till I
got in my work truck and he got,
592
00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:30.320
of course in his Mercedes bands convertible. Great band if you just joined
593
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:34.039
it. This is Toscano from Toscano
and Jay here at Back to the Eighties.
594
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:38.239
We are talking about rock and we
are ending our Rock Cruise series today
595
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:44.119
with our fourth and final episode.
We're gonna come back from a quick break.
596
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:47.199
But I want to leave you with
a band that is my number one
597
00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:55.559
band ever from their greatest album from
nineteen eighty seven to Joshua Tree. That's
598
00:52:55.639 --> 00:53:00.199
right, none other than you two
with Where the Streets Have No Name On
599
00:53:00.440 --> 00:54:20.280
Back to the Eighties Radio. I
want, I want to high. I
600
00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:30.159
want to tell down the loves,
the homely inside. I want to reside
601
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:50.800
and to the flame where you sit. I want side of my face I
602
00:54:51.039 --> 00:55:07.480
see the disappear with her chance.
I want to shut where the season,
603
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:37.119
where season? When the season money? I still being when it's hard,
604
00:55:43.920 --> 00:56:00.920
the seasons to rust beating blow,
when the sound windows I show you place
605
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:30.800
as a play, where is she
play? She still be And when I
606
00:56:30.159 --> 00:57:37.679
was still to see your sus she
to us tippity tippity do you are back
607
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:43.719
to the Tiscano and Chang revival here
at back to the eighties. And that
608
00:57:44.199 --> 00:57:47.199
was a great, great song.
And I gotta tell you there is no
609
00:57:47.280 --> 00:57:52.440
other band like that. I hope
you liked it, but we've got more
610
00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:55.599
to talk about it. As a
matter of fact, Tiscano listening to that
611
00:57:55.639 --> 00:58:00.440
song of the great YouTube, one
of the greatest albums I think, besides
612
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:06.199
War, that YouTube could ever create. And you know I have special homage
613
00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:10.280
in a special place for YouTube,
just like you. I feel YouTube was
614
00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:15.280
as great as the Beatles. Every
album they did was different. Bono came
615
00:58:15.320 --> 00:58:20.559
out and stood up like a humanitarian
in the same style as the late great
616
00:58:20.679 --> 00:58:25.800
mentor himself. To me John Lennon, diabolical the way that those Kays came
617
00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:30.079
up with hit after hit. They
would just dive into the studio and just
618
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:36.960
give you everything from their heart and
soul. The song Streets with No Name
619
00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:42.960
that is so open on the horizon
of what it means, because I think
620
00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:46.800
everybody could identify with being in that
place with the street with no name.
621
00:58:47.239 --> 00:58:52.440
Whether you're trapped in a moment of
time in your mind, or you're visiting
622
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:57.960
somewhere you're not familiar with, or
you say you're moving on with your life
623
00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:00.199
and you get away from home.
That's a you can listen to that.
624
00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:04.719
It's going to give you all those
memories back of what you just left or
625
00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:07.159
why you just left. A very
great band and I'm glad you brought them
626
00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:17.480
up. You're listening to back to
the eighties, back to the eighties.
627
00:59:17.840 --> 00:59:23.000
This is the time of the show
where this is the time of the show
628
00:59:23.039 --> 00:59:29.159
where we talk about what made us
angry in the nineteen eighties. And in
629
00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:34.239
honor of the most wondrous and the
most fluid, the most notorious chang we
630
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:39.440

what made you changry in the nineteen eighties?
631
00:59:39.679 --> 00:59:43.840

in the eighties, Having to pay
632
00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:49.760

Rolling Stone. Oh my. All I
633
00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:52.159
could do when I sat there with
my sister watching that concert, was like,
634
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:55.360

640
01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:25.559
Ronald Reagan say no to drugs?
You know what else got me changry back
641
01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:31.000
in the nineteen eighties. I've already
mentioned it anytime I had to see Jonathan
642
01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:37.119
Kane in the Jersey and Night but
a weasel, That, ladies, gentlemen,
643
01:00:37.199 --> 01:00:40.280
has been this week's chang reason.
If you have something that made you
644
01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:43.599
angry in the nineteen eighties and want
to share it with us, go ahead
645
01:00:43.639 --> 01:00:47.400
and drop us a note on our
Facebook page and we'd be more than glad
646
01:00:47.440 --> 01:00:52.440
to read it. Here on Back
to the eighties, So we're talking about
647
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:57.440
rocking and chang This is the home
stretch. I'm gonna have to kick the
648
01:00:57.480 --> 01:01:00.719
door and with his next band,
A lot of our listeners, if you
649
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:05.079
really, really really are deep into
the eighties music, you have to give
650
01:01:05.119 --> 01:01:09.280
it up for a band that had
a short lived time. And that bandy
651
01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:15.800
is called the power Station Tusky.
Do you remember the power Station very little?
652
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:20.519
They were the power Station Band.
Now. Power Station first floored us
653
01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:27.320
with some like it Hot Now.
This band was led by the extraordinary vocalist,
654
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:32.840
the late great Robert Palmer, and
it was also the members. There
655
01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:37.360
was a band called Sheet back in
the seventies, the drummer Tony Thompson,
656
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:43.159
Robert Palmer. And get this,
the brothers of Duran Durand that's right,
657
01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:50.079
the brothers of Duran Duran, Andy
and John Taylor. Yes, this band,
658
01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:53.800
and you know John Taylor was on
base and Andy Taylor was on guitar.
659
01:01:54.360 --> 01:01:58.840
Yes, that's a very good fun
fact. I have that in my
660
01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:01.320
script notes. I don't know how
you've seen them, but you beat me
661
01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:07.039
to the punch. I think I
think you're wearing that tough jiu jitsu.
662
01:02:07.679 --> 01:02:12.360
She is all of a sudden,
you think you could just kick the chang's
663
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:15.920
ass. I'm gonna come up in
my own fun facts, but I give
664
01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:19.119
you a lot of credit for jumping
in and give me that fun fact.
665
01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:22.840
Now. This was a band that
was formed in nineteen eighty four. They
666
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:28.719
had three top ten hit busting songs
on the charts. A great band,
667
01:02:28.800 --> 01:02:32.440
I would I would have really loved
to have seen them carry it on beyond
668
01:02:32.519 --> 01:02:37.119
the eighties, but they did not. All right, saying so, another
669
01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:40.679
one of the bands I want to
bring up actually not even a band anymore
670
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:46.840
because after Genesis, Phil Collins took
off on his own and Phil Collins he
671
01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:53.679
does not suck. Plus, Phil
Collins has one of those repertoire of music
672
01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:58.639
that almost every song is a hit. I got one more band now that
673
01:02:58.679 --> 01:03:02.480
you brought up, that crappy Phil
Collins. Guy Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
674
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:07.639
Okay, okay, I like him. That was a great fan Tom
675
01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:09.239
Petty and the Heartbreakers. They came
out and you kind of looked at him.
676
01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:12.360
You were like, man, am
I watching the guy from he Haws?
677
01:03:12.400 --> 01:03:15.840
That's a donkey. No, that's
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Yeah,
678
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:21.360
didn't hear it looked like when you
first see him. Yeah, I
679
01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:30.280
was like, oh, you wouldn't
made man man. He kind of sounded
680
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:45.039
like Bob Dylan on blow I'm glad
we man. Yeah. Yeah. The
681
01:03:45.119 --> 01:03:50.360
variety the music is the eighties and
they were big hits and there continue to
682
01:03:50.440 --> 01:03:54.000
be big hits from the eighties.
That's because the music spoke of the minds
683
01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:59.440
of the people. It made no
apologies. We could all identify with the
684
01:03:59.599 --> 01:04:04.360
slow ballads of course from Phil Collins
in the afternoon and put up a black
685
01:04:04.440 --> 01:04:10.400
leather jacket rocking to Iron Maiden by
nighttime. We didn't have to apologize to
686
01:04:10.440 --> 01:04:15.800
anyone. We had the freedom to
express ourselves. Experimenting and lyrics became an
687
01:04:15.840 --> 01:04:20.840
integral part of the eighties, and
that, my dear eighties fans, it's
688
01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:28.039
precisely the reason why the eighties will
never die. This is back to the
689
01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:32.320
eighties radio. I'm Tiscano from Tiscanno. Win chang till next week. God
690
01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:36.679
bless this is a chang. Before
I release you to another chang tastic weekend,
691
01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:43.119
I'll have to apologize. During tiscanno
speech, I was laughing because I
692
01:04:43.239 --> 01:04:47.400
was I was just I couldn't believe
that me and Tiscanno could nail Tom Petty's
693
01:04:47.480 --> 01:04:51.920
voice and not even single lyric that
was beautiful. So we're gonna leave you
694
01:04:51.960 --> 01:04:56.519
on that note. Remember, stay
lifted and gifted. Everybody, do something
695
01:04:56.559 --> 01:05:00.639
bigger than yourself, stand up for
something bigger for in yourself. Call somebody
696
01:05:00.639 --> 01:05:03.719
you haven't called, Go see somebody
you haven't seen, get your shots,
697
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:08.519
do what you gotta do, and
remember tomorrow is a better day. To
698
01:05:08.679 --> 01:05:15.639
all my friends out there, I
bid you an audios astamanyana and to all
699
01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:32.239
my homies in the barrio all around, order nick na me back.
1
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:15.160
Smiles. Everyone smiles, and welcome
to Fantasy Island on Back to the Eighties
2
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:23.800
radio tattoo. That's your line is
next, tattoo, tattoo, your line
3
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.359
is next, tattoo. Where are
you thanking? Momory Mouth? I already
4
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.159
need a line and I got thoo, cruel taps. I need to come
5
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.079
down, tattoo. What have we
talked about, my friend, that you
6
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.600
have to leave those things in the
past. They are no good for you.
7
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.799
Mouth. I cannot leave them in
the past because I go back to
8
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.880
the past, and I go back
to the eighties, and I bring nothing
9
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:51.000
but strippers and fine rubs with me. Oh look, it's the plane.
10
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.600
But the plane is coming. We
are going to have our villagers. I
11
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:02.079
wonder if they have some hooch.
This is Fantasy Island, and today we
12
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:07.359
have two very special people. We
have Russell Brown, who dreams of going
13
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.959
back to the eighties and continuing his
quest for his one and only love.
14
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:19.159
And also along the way, we
have Stevie Lobes, who is with us
15
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:26.200
and wants to get his fantasy of
becoming an MLB player. Today we are
16
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:32.079
going back to the eighties on Fantasy
Island. What do you say tattoo.
17
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.680
Tattoo tattoo? Are you done both? Would you like to take my Columbians
18
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:44.719
looking most relationships? You're useless tattoo. Let's go back back to the eighties.
19
00:01:45.120 --> 00:02:23.520
I need a line of Bussler.
Maybe back to the eighties radio.
20
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.599
This isn't the Scott from Scotta Win
Chang Soon launching on kay HiT's Latty two

Bonus stop on our final cruise around
the nineteen eighties world of rock and metal.
30
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.639
But first with me today, as
he is every Friday, is a
31
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.800
man who many claim was created in
one of Cheech and Chong's labs while filming
32
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.759
up in Smoke. Whenever he is
pulled over by the cops, he makes
33
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:25.039
it a point to show them his
blockbuster in Hollywood video card as his official
34
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.719
ID. But we hear it.
Back to the Eighties call him the Chang,
35
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:36.120
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, wonderers and wondrousts. It is
36
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.479
eyes a legend in my own mind
and co host to this fantastic right of
37
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.400

38
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:54.520
the Scott and win Chang, the
bell must be rang Tusky. This show
39
00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:00.719

eight thousand pounds of sheers to pit and

00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.560

80
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.439
Welcome back everybody. How you babies
hanging? And that This is the
81
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.480
chang of Tiscano and Chang and you
were locked and loaded to back to the
82
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:38.600
eighties. That was Aerosmith, a
track off of Rock and a Hard Placed,
83
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.639
an album that was put out in
nineteen eighty two, and that was
84
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.120
a great song When Lightning Strikes.
That was a tour that Chang went to.
85
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.480
I have a whole story for that, but that's on another show.
86
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.399
Now, Tiscano, we are going
to get down in dirty into the rock
87
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:56.079
and roll element. And I mean
we've covered metal, we've covered new wave.
88
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.639
Now a lot of bands that are
put on a lot of these doesn't
89
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.079
matter. We're going to talk about
bands that we're not categorized as metal,
90
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.399
new wave or alternative, but just
your steak and potato type rock and roll
91
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.680
bands. And that was the first
band that I had a toss up because
92
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.600
I think Errol Smith is a steak
and potatoes kind of a rock band,
93
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.279
would you not agree? I love
Aerosmith the eighties For everybody listening, the
94
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:31.439
eighties saw everything from enthusiasm to neon
pink socks worn by men. Creativity was
95
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.759
expressed so much in the eighties that
artists wore their individuality, and they wore
96
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:41.679
it with pride. The nineteen eighties
music scene is possibly considered as one of
97
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.960
the greatest and to a lot of
people, the last of the greatest decades
98
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.799
in the evolution of music, and
in this case rock music. Yes,
99
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.240
I would like to slap high five
of that guy. As a matter of
100
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:00.279
fact, I'm gonna give you a
high five. Yes, wait, I
101
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.360
do that again, Do it again. It was a great high five.
102
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.559
Now, I don't know if you're
sure. It was a little week that
103
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.480
was weak, but that was kind
of like a foot That was like a
104
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.399
foot five. Now, Aerosmith,
we were just talking about some of our
105
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.120
listeners know, and I don't know
if you know. Aerosmith released three albums
106
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.279
in the decade of the eighties,
and of course the album I just mentioned,
107
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.600
Rock and a Hard Place, which
was put out August of nineteen eighty
108
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.240
two. Then later on down the
road. They went in with Done with
109
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:37.840
Mirrors, which was also released in
November of eighty five. Permanent Vacation followed
110
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.960
them up in August of eighty seven, and then in nineteen eighty nine,
111
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:46.000
towards the end of the eighties,
kind of where rock and roll metal was
112
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.320
losing ground to grunge, Pump came
out. Now on a personal note,
113
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.200
I was a great fan of rock
and a hard place. There's a couple
114
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.240
of tracks that I do like on
a Permanent Vacation, Done with Mirrors,
115
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.840
a couple of acts on Pump,
But I will have to stay from eighty
116
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.799
five to eighty nine, I kind
of feel that Aerosmith got a little bit
117
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.039
pop rock. I don't want to
offend anybody, but Lord knows, I'll
118
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:15.960
do what I have to do.
In chang terms, they sucked. Well.
119
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.519
You gotta keep in mind that after
eighty nine, you know, as
120
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.399
soon as the nineties started, everything
seemed to go a totally different direction.
121
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.320
Yeah. I don't even want to
get into that because that's definitely a subject
122
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.320
that we will touch upon on another
show. Definitely. So you're talking about
123
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.360
Aerosmith. Aerosmith was one of these
bands that as you mentioned last week there
124
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.080
was a point where they even made
some music without Aerosmith at some point.
125
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.480
Yes, there was a point right
before Rock in a Hard Place in eighty
126
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.200
two where Steven Tyler left the band, and I think they were having engle
127
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.399
problems. I'm not too sure.
I didn't study the glossary on Aerosmith history
128
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.159
to bring that about, but bringing
that point out like you did, Yeah,
129
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:00.960
there was a point and an album
where they were not led by Stephen
130
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.559
Tyler. I don't remember offhand the
name of that album, but I'll tell
131
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.960
you right now it sucks. I
do want to get into one thing as
132
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.440
a side note, it opens up
the path so that people, especially the
133
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:18.240
younger generation, can understand why it
is that eighties music became so huge and
134
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.360
it continues to be so big.
You got to remember that this decade,
135
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:26.120
the eighties, it set a standard
for music to evolve four years to come.
136
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:33.279
And one of the most recognized advancements
during that era was of course MTV,
137
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.759
which first debuted August first, nineteen
eighty one, and it gave way
138
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:43.200
obviously to the very first video jock
and MTV was an outlet for music videos,
139
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.720
so people had the opportunity to actually
view their favorite artists, those that
140
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.639
they had always heard on radio and
now view them. If they can't see
141
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.840
them in concert, what better way
to see them than on television making a
142
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.399
video. And at twelve oh one
am on August first, nineteen eighty one,
143
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:09.080
the first words on MTV were heard
in eight seven six five four,
144
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:22.679
we've gone from main engine start.
We have radio ladies and gentlemen rock and
145
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:35.559
roll. And what did they do? Their very first video played on MTV
146
00:12:35.279 --> 00:13:03.120
was video Killed the Radio Star by
the Buggles Mine we contry wine We've gone.
147
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.120
Now. That's a band that we
talked about on our New Wave show.
148
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.559
But the reason I bring that up
chang is because although that song has
149
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.159
a lot of truth to it,
but I gotta tell you, I think
150
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.840
it did totally the opposite for a
lot of bands, which is, instead
151
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:26.799
of killing the radio star, it
advanced their career. And we were talking
152
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:33.720
about Aerosmith and MTV was a major
factor in bringing Aerosmith back to the charts.
153
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.679
Yes, I concur with you on
your entire statement, but I will
154
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:45.200
not agree where I personally think a
man of radio, where radio was my
155
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.360
babysitter, is a very small chang. Before I was changed, I was
156
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.159
just an ang and I have to
stand by. Video did kill the radio,
157
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.600
And I felt MTV opened up the
floodgates and the avenues to where it
158
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.720
didn't matter what kind of musical talent
or range that you had. It mattered
159
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.759
on how good you looked, what
fashion you were wearing, Oh did you
160
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:15.480
do something theatrically phenomenal for the camera. This is remember where a lot of
161
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:20.639
bands were hard rock bands were doing
videos, but they were lip singing,
162
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.320
they were fake playing, their instruments
were mark well right, of course,
163
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.679
you know that's it's part of getting
them to be perfect on television. But
164
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.120
you gotta remember MTV was going strong
for the entire decade. I'm gonna say
165
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.600
up to eighty nine. I know
people are going to argue that it went
166
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.039
on for a few more years,
for a total of fourteen years. Whatever.
167
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:46.440
I think that by eighty nine it
was over. Why because complaining whiney
168
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:52.679
viewers said that they played too many
videos, and so just as MC Hammer's
169
00:14:52.720 --> 00:15:00.360
career thun stinting, it's over and
that was it. And what happened because
170
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.919
of the recognition of MTV some other
stations got involved. You know, now
171
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:09.399
they see the big dollar sign.
And then here comes HBO's video jukebox.
172
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:15.159
H one WTBS aired night track,
the ABC came out with ABC Rocks,
173
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.840
and then of course you just mentioned
VH one got its start. You know
174
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.000
what's funny that we're talking about this
really quick is if you were to flip
175
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.399
on MTV nowadays, you're not going
to get one video. It's all a
176
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.000
bunch of crappy reality shows that are
teaching our young people not having a brain
177
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.840
is adequate. And to me,
MTV remember how MTV used to start,
178
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.159
how it was blown up. That's
what needs to happen to MTV. And
179
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.279
I want to be the guy that
puts the TNT under their ass and blows
180
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:50.120
them up. Did I say,
ass, oh that's okay, put your
181
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.200
kids to bed to Chank's head ass? You mentioned Darryl Smith, Well,
182
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.559
I want to hit you up with
a band. I want to say,
183
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.159
this is my second between Queen and
that band is mine. You know they're
184
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:03.240
on a tie for second place.
This is for me personally, but this
185
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:08.240
band's seventh internationally released studio album.
The band I'm referring to is, of
186
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:15.559
course the one responsible for those about
to rock none other than A C d
187
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:37.000
C. November twenty third, nineteen
eighty one. Ac DC to me is
188
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:42.279
kind of a blues infused hard rock
band. They give me the same vibe
189
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:48.279
that Black Sabbath did. The differences
you had two guitar players. You had
190
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.039
Angus Young I'm lead guitar and the
late great Malcolm Young on a rhythm guitar.
191
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.840
And the one thing about ac DC, I will stay that these styles
192
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:07.039
and the sound of music changed with
the death to the late great Bond Scott
193
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:12.920
and the music he made with hc
DC in comparison to when Brian Johnson took
194
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:18.880
over the microphone Realm and of course
came out with Back in Black. I
195
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.839
don't know if some of our listeners
know that Back in Black was actually written
196
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:29.559
before Bond Scott passed away, and
they were supposed to be going into the
197
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.839
studio with him at one particular time
to record that album. But obviously he
198
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:40.480
died choked on his own vomit in
his vehicle after drinking one night and Paris,
199
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:45.359
so he wasn't around and they were
very lucky and very fortunate to have
200
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.119
scrambled in the short amount of time
that they did to find Brian Johnson to
201
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:55.559
take over the realm, especially with
his vocal range as well and him sounding
202
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.160
so much like he did sound very
similar to On Scott both. The one
203
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:06.640
thing I will have to be critical
on is his voice seemed a little bit
204
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:11.319
higher in comparison to Bond Scott to
where you got shot the real Way to
205
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:17.920
Gil, you know what I mean, kind of like a rumble into a
206
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.759
high pitch. But with either singer, I thought they remained to be kings
207
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.480
that needed to be crowned. That
is a great band that you bring up
208
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:32.000
because they get thrown into the category
bro like I know you've seen on so
209
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:36.400
many lists, into the heavy metal
realm, just like that Haylan did,
210
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:42.039
and they are farther from being kind
of classified in a heavy metal sound by
211
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.160
far. I think personally, I
don't know if you would agree with Yeah,
212
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.759
no, you're absolutely right. But
you know what I think that these
213
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.480
people who put them in these categories, I don't even think they listen to
214
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.480
the bands or to the music.
What I think they go by is their
215
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.039
album art. Sometimes they'll look at
an album, aren't They'll go, oh,
216
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.680
this has horns on it. It
must be metal and then that's that's
217
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.400
what happens. The one release of
this album was a follow up to They're
218
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.319
highly successful. Of course you mentioned
it back in Black Now for those about
219
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.680
to rock that I mentioned sold over
four million copies in the US and had
220
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:22.960
ended up ac DC's first and only
and this is sad first and only number
221
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:29.359
one album in the US until the
release of Black Ice in October of twenty
222
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:33.720
eight cans. That's just so ridiculous. They didn't get any credit throughout the
223
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.960
eighties and into the nineties. But
then again, you know, this is
224
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.599
an eighties show. But when they
skipped into the nineties, they went through
225
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.960
all kinds of personal changes. They
no longer had Phil Rudd on the drum
226
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.200
kit. I forget the guy's name, but they had the guy that played
227
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.599
in Midnight Oil, not the lead
singer, the bald guy that looked scary
228
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.400
he did, you know, but
they had the drummer. They kind of
229
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.599
were getting pushed by their record company
to put out albums, and I think
230
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:02.839
they won a little bit commercialized,
but they kind of tried to keep the
231
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:07.440
same formula that they were thriving on
with their blues rock in nineteen eighty one.
232
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.880
When they did come out with the
album, Rolling Stone magazine declared it
233
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.200
to be a CDC's absolute best album. Ember. Now another band I got
234
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.440
I'm sure You're gonna You're gonna trip
out on. This band is a band
235
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.799
called Deep Purple. Now Deep Purple
evolved in the early seventies, as a
236
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.039
matter of fact, with lead singer
Ian Gillen, who nineteen seventy took the
237
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:33.119
role of Jesus Christ superstar in Andrew
Lloyd Webber's play Jesus Christal. But this
238
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.319
band, you know, they evolved
a lot of the turmoil that rock bands
239
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.519
do suffer in the business. They
went through some changes. They had just
240
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.759
got back with their lead singer,
Ian Gillen. He came back to the
241
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.000
band. It was John Lord,
you know, it was Richie Blackmore,
242
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:55.920
Roger Glover, Idian Pace, the
original lineup came back in the eighties and
243
00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:59.880
they came up with an album called
Perfect Strangers. I went to this tour
244
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.279
not only once, but three times. I went to that show at that
245
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:10.039
venue at Irvine Meadows all three nights. They turned it up. Now,
246
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:14.000
this is a band that evolved from
the seventies, but yet they kept tight
247
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.720
and they came to their format and
I think that was one of the greater
248
00:21:17.799 --> 00:22:03.720
albums in nineteen eighty two Warriors.
They were recognized as one of the pioneers,
249
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:10.079
if not the pioneers of heavy metal
and modern hard hard rock. Yes,
250
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.319
and he was also in Rainbow.
And as a matter of fact,
251
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:18.720
if you like White Snake, David
Coverdale, he used to be in Deep
252
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:23.359
Purple if I'm not mistaken, between
nineteen seventy four nineteen seventy six. Now,
253
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.480
that was a trippy band, you
know, But I don't want to
254
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.279
get back into the seventies really quick. Rainbow was a band that evolved in
255
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:33.680
the seventies. Rainbow had such a
lead singers at Rodney James Deal. They
256
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:38.400
also had David Coverdale. They also
went to so many different changes. They
257
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.319
had Glenn Hughes, the bass player, was a singing lyrics and one of
258
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:47.119
his better songs was USh and that
was in nineteen seventy nine. I believe,
259
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.599
but Coverdale, I mean Coverdale came
into the eighties. He brought in
260
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:52.440
White Snakes. It's another great band
that you bring up that I don't think
261
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.960
is heavy metal. I wouldn't even
categorize them as pretty metal, glad metal.
262
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:00.039
Sorry if I offend anybody out there, but I wouldn't put them in
263
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.839
there. They were kind of a
ballad rock, kind of a pop.
264
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.839
But if you listen to White Snake
albums, they have a lot of the
265
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.880
nucleus of old hardcore rock and roll, and Coverdale, one of the greatest
266
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:18.640
vocalists I think in rock and roll
heavy metal of any era, brought it
267
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.039
home perfectly clear in the eighties now. I don't know if you notice.
268
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:27.240
Also in the late eighties, Coverdale
went and did a solo project with Jimmy
269
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:33.599
Page, the great guitar players of
the legendary Zeppa, and that was Coverdale
270
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.480
Page. I also went to that
tour. Phenomenal. They both sounded hot.
271
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.759
I saw Coverdale cover some led Zeppelin
songs and at that time I was
272
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.119
like, Robert who, Robert who, if you are. The amazing thing
273
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.640
about David Coverdale, and we talked
about this in the previous show, is
274
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.319
that even at his age now,
when he does a concert, he can
275
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.440
still hit those high notes. I
mean, that's to admire because YaST bands,
276
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.720
and the one that really just comes
to my mind is bon Jovi.
277
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.920
The guy can no longer reach those
notes. He makes the audience. He
278
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:10.039
makes the audience sing. Have you
noticed that even Billy Idol does that when
279
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:11.319
he has to hit those really high
notes. What do they do? They
280
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.640
turn the mic over the audience.
That's how you know, I mean the
281
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.000
guy. They can't hit those notes
anymore. And that's one sad thing as
282
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.960
all of us from the eighties grow
older, where we see some of our
283
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.400
iconic bands that we loved in our
artists, you know, fall to to
284
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.279
you know, mortality, to where
they can't keep up what they used to.
285
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.799
And I'm going to go on the
record right here, I'm gonna say
286
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.640
it loud and proud that if you
cannot carry the notes that you once did,
287
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.480
get the hell off the stage and
just call it a career. You
288
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:44.920
know, sell your music to some
car companies. There's some beard companies,
289
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.480
you know, and do the right
thing and just enjoy, enjoy your retirement
290
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:53.799
exactly. Another one of the great
front men that can reach those high notes
291
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:57.480
is De Snyder. Oh yes,
I mean, look at d Snyder from
292
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:03.240
Twisted Sister. The I can just
rock at his age now. As a
293
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.519
matter of fact, De Snyder put
out a track I think it was a
294
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.480
couple of years ago. Yeah,
that was it, the one he did
295
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:12.400
for cancer. Now that song,
yeah, it's We're not gonna take it
296
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:18.759
anymore. And he did a video
in the desert. We've got the right
297
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:26.680
to choose it. There ain't no
we will lose it. This is a
298
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:37.960
life, this is a song.
We'll fight the pals that be. Just
299
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:52.960
don't pick goddestaickahause you don't know us, you don't belong. Not gonna take
300
00:25:53.039 --> 00:26:04.079
it, well, we are gonna
take it, not gonna take that anymore.
301
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:12.519
He nailed every note, but he
was able to slow it down.
302
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:15.279
I mean, the freaking song brought
tear to my eyes, and on the
303
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.440
check, it takes a lot to
bring tears to my eyes. I have
304
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.559
to even cut honians. Look at
my children, look at my grandchildren,
305
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.960
look at my bills. That D. Snyder song brought me to tears.
306
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:32.000
And not being in LA and not
being in LA brings me to tears.
307
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:36.079
As a matter of fact, I'm
crying in this bottle right now. Fireball.
308
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:40.440
Thanks. I give a lot of
respect to D. Snyder because when
309
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:44.720
their guitar player passed away of cancer. I think it was last year,
310
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:48.519
maybe maybe a year before they came
out and made a statement that they would
311
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.240
no longer perform as Twisted sister.
I give them a lot of respect,
312
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.200
a lot of admiration, because truly, I feel that's the way it should
313
00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:03.440
be. We've discussed this a multiple
occasions. How ridiculous ridiculous is that some
314
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:08.839
bands carry on when other members have
fallen or legalities have split them off.
315
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:15.640
Stones the Rolling Stones, now there's
another band that that was kicking butt in
316
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.359
the avia. It's like, you
know, you see some bands and you
317
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.000
go like, okay, when is
that time that you call it quits?
318
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:26.880
And I admire people when they want
to keep working because maybe their workaholics.
319
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:29.920
Maybe they just think that if they
stop working, they'll die. Whatever the
320
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.359
reason is, that's great if you
can still reach those notes, right,
321
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.000
if you can still make music and
perform. But what if you can,
322
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.279
as you say, start to hang
it up. Now, I'm I'm wondering
323
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.279
if the next time The Rolling Stones
come out they're gonna be on walkers.
324
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:48.240
I wonder if they're cannot pacemakers.
I wonder if Keith Richards is going to
325
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.400
be snorting blow or if he'll be
snorting geritol. I don't know, that's
326
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:55.920
that's a feat. We will have
to wait and see. But that's another
327
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:59.599
band that good. God, hurry
out if you just joined us. This
328
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.079
is from Toscato and Chang. This
is back to the Eighties. We are
329
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:08.759
covering part four of our rock and
Roll Cruise. Stay tuned because there's a
330
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:14.599
lot more to come on this Back
to the Eighties show. Hell of a
331
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:19.359
lot more. No, if it's
totally tubular, red or awesome, it's
332
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:26.519
on Back to the eighties. If
it's popular, we do it totally awesome.
333
00:28:26.880 --> 00:29:03.960
And now back to the eighties with
Toscato and Chang. You're listening to
334
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.599
Back to the Eighties to Scunner from
Scindo and Chang and this his Journey Stone
335
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:14.119
in Love, the seventh studio album
by Journey that was released in nineteen eighty
336
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:18.599
one and at top the American Billboard
two hundred chart, featuring four hit Billboard
337
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:23.680
Hot one hundred singles, which don't
Stop Believing you know what I gotta tell
338
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:27.039
you, That's one of my favorite
Journey songs. I do appreciate Journey.
339
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:30.640
I do give them a lot of
respect. That's a band that is only
340
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:36.119
three point five hours from the area
away from where I am located now.
341
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:38.599
So if anybody wants to go on
their Google Maps and you want to look
342
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:45.680
in every diverse area around, you
will find out that I am three point
343
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.759
five hours now, you're three point
five hours away from the Bay. Yes,
344
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.160
I am three point five hours from
the Bay. As a matter of
345
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.920
fact, my daughter was out here
visiting and her and my grandson and my
346
00:29:55.960 --> 00:30:00.839
granddaughter got lots on the highway and
they ended up in San Francisco, almost
347
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:04.759
four hours away from where I am
sitting at this exact moment talking about this
348
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:10.519
exact band from San Francisco, calif
Or on your journey. Now, I
349
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:15.119
will say this about Journey. I
think a journey evolved into a great band.
350
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:19.240
Adding Steve Perry was phenomenal. Steve
Perry, to me, has the
351
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:25.319
voice of an angel. Steve Perry's
vocals are just phenomenal. I did not
352
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.519
like when Steve Perry went solo in
the eighties, and you know, he
353
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:33.640
was pretty much to me, you're
on Mark and Kim Show, You're on
354
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.240
coast back in LA And I couldn't
handle that. I really couldn't handle that.
355
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.720
Yeah, Well, I mean,
as you mentioned, I mean there's
356
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:42.799
got to be some type of transition. As you get older and as you
357
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:48.839
pass by these different stages in your
life, you sometimes try different things.
358
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.799
They don't always work. And in
this case, although his loyal followers,
359
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:57.079
and I consider myself one of Steve
Perry's fans, but I do believe honestly
360
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:02.920
that he should have remained with the
To me, the downfall of Journey was
361
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.440
when Greg Rawley left the band and
they filled it him with a guy named
362
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:12.519
Jonathan Kane. Why are you playing
the keyboard like a guitar That looks weak?
363
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:15.599
You know what, maybe Jonathan Kane
should have just been left in the
364
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:18.279
studio. That's a lot of hand. Well, you know, my apologies
365
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.200
to Jonathan Kane. If you're listening. If you have a problem with me,
366
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.759
I'll tell you where I live and
we can sit down like a grown
367
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:30.839
men and we can share some of
this fine fireball sweetened whiskey that I'm drinking
368
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:36.079
right now, and I will knock
your socks off. Jonathan Kane. I
369
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:38.400
hate to burst your bubble, but
now because you said that, I'm going
370
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:44.440
to hit you with a band that
road to the top of the chart selling
371
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:49.680
twenty two million albums. They sold
twenty two million albums in the US forty
372
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:59.119
million worldwide gold and platinum records worldwide
hits that included take It on the Run
373
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:29.759
and Can't fight this feeling. I
can't fight this then other then Ario Speedwagon
374
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:32.720
and and if you're an eighty cent
you gotta be a lover of Ario Speedwagon.
375
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:37.400
I mean, come on, all, my dad, there it is.
376
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:44.759
I'm not a big fan of Arial
Feedwagon. There it is again.
377
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:47.119
I don't want to step on on
anybody's toe, So please take the dog
378
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:51.039
you already did by just laughing abody. We'll just, you know, take
379
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:53.519
your sandals off and put them steel
toll booth on because I'm gonna step all
380
00:32:53.519 --> 00:33:01.000
over this band. Now, this
band to me kind of sounded like,
381
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:06.079
uh like Survivor, you know what
I mean. Yeah, whoa, whoa,
382
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:07.359
whoa whoa. Hey, hey,
hey, take it take it easy,
383
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:13.000
Take it easy, Take it easy, because now you're hitting on you're
384
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.640
stepping up my toes with Survivor.
I love Survivor. But we'll talk it.
385
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:19.440
We'll talk about them a little bit, talk about them later because they
386
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.920
they were out there in the eighties
along with all all six of the other
387
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:28.839
crappy rocker came out after Rocky One. I said it a pity woo,
388
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:32.440
a pity of poo. Now now
please back up here, Orio Speedwagon,
389
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:38.519
I really couldn't consider this band a
rock band. I considered them more of
390
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:46.160
a pop temple rock band. Of
course you wouldn't you know. Now here's
391
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:52.480
a funny thing. I did have
the pleasure or displeasure of meeting lead singer
392
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:57.000
Kevin Cronin at a golf tournament for
Mark and Brian. That's right, The
393
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:02.640
Kings are mentors Mark and Brian Samuel's
radio back in the days when KLOS was
394
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:07.359
a good station, which now they
suck. And I hope that you keep
395
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:09.280
that in the show. I want
them to know that. But I met
396
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:15.920
Kevin Cronin and he was nothing but
rude, arrogant, uh, kind of
397
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.800
like through a hissy fit. Now, I don't know. I don't know
398
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:25.239
it's because I called him mac Davis
or because oh well, let me finish
399
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:31.800
my story now. I was deep
into six rum and cokes by the time
400
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:37.199
I met mister Cronin on the golf
course at the Mark and Brian golf tournament.
401
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:39.719
Now, I was not playing golf
because I can't even play minuture golf.
402
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:43.559
Let's get that out there. I
agree. I summoned him for an
403
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:47.239
autograph. Everybody else was getting autographs. I got autographs from Cheech Marin,
404
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:53.360
I got autographs from d Snyder.
I've got autographs from Mac Davis, as
405
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:59.079
a matter of fact, several artists
that were out there. So I went
406
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:01.679
upon Kevin own him. Now he
had all gray hair at this time.
407
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.880
Okay, so he he kind of
had hair like one of the Golden girls.
408
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.639
But I called him over. I
said, hey, Mac Davis,
409
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:15.519
do you think you could sign my
T shirt? He put his club down.
410
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:21.679
He goes, look, Jackass,
I'm not Mac Davis. I'm Kevin
411
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:27.039
Cronin of the great band Ario Speedwagon. I said, well, that's a
412
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:31.719
very good self observation. But I
find you guys weak poppy, and your
413
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:37.639
hair sucks and you look like mac
Davis. No, you didn't did not
414
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:40.400
have him. You don't believe me. We can make a phone call on
415
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:45.119
another show to my good friend Al
and he will verify that story. All
416
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:49.320
right, So let me get this
straight. Now, did you know it
417
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:52.039
wasn't mac Davis or you said mac
Davis on purpose? I said mac Davis
418
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:57.639
at first, because He was very
arrogant out there with the other golfers.
419
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:00.079
He was asking people that were standing
to be quiet, and I mean,
420
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:02.280
come on, this is a golf
tournament. We all know. We watched
421
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:07.480
some people watch golf on TV.
They're all quiet, and then you have
422
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:10.119
the announcers. Oh, he's getting
ready to set a birdie of three hundred
423
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:15.559
and forty feet, so you know
that's that's the way golfer. But this
424
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:19.599
was a rock and roll golf tournament. This was for charity. This is
425
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:23.039
Mark and Bryant. Lord knows.
Mark and Brian never ever stubbed on anybody's
426
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:27.360
toes to be quiet and to be
courteous. They were rot ruthless like us.
427
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:32.440
So therefore I thought, well,
Chang being Chang, I've stumbled into
428
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:37.199
the realm of being a stand up
comedian. I thought Punt intended it would
429
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:42.199
be funny, people would get a
kick. Obviously, Kevin Cronin didn't get
430
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:45.760
a kick, but everyone else did. So all it did was fortify my
431
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:52.440
dislike of Oreo Speedwagon. He's an
arrogant popass ass and his music sucked.
432
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:57.840
Well, I think that you are
just generalizing for one bad occasion, like
433
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:02.000
you and GNR, G and R
great band, jack athlete figure. So
434
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:07.760
okay, so here we go.
You mentioned Survivor, and I'm glad you
435
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:15.440
mentioned Survivor because their fifth album,
Vital Signs Okay, released on August first,
436
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:19.719
nineteen eighty four. What that album
was so crappy? I forgot about
437
00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:22.719
it? Keep going. The album
was their second most successful album in the
438
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:29.400
US, reaching number sixteen on the
Billboard Charts, being certified platinum. My
439
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:32.079
friend, and as a matter of
fact, I want to take you,
440
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:37.639
guys and a little survival ride with

00:40:51.280 --> 00:41:36.159

I'm fan to see now back to good,
457
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:43.199
wholesome, politically correct entertainment. Oops, rock station No. Back to
458
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:46.559
the eighties with Toscano and Chang.
Welcome back. You are on the hang
459
00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:50.519
with Toscano and Chang. Here at
back to the eighties. And that was
460
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.639
another crappy song by another craffy band
back in the eighties. The only thing
461
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:59.000
I'd ever say this band was being
on the soundtrack to Rocky There I said
462
00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:02.840
it, and I would like to
punch the eye of the tiger every time
463
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:07.519
I hear this band. This is
one of the band's strictly eighties. Born
464
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:12.440
in eighties, Some say they died
in the eighties. It doesn't matter.
465
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:15.599
You know what, if you want
eighties, you want to know what eighties
466
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:19.239
was all about? It with the
field, the field of eighties, this
467
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:22.880
is it. Yeah. Now,
now Survivor was like, please squeeze the
468
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:24.360
charman. Let's see what mister Whipple
is going to do. He's not going
469
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:27.840
to do a damn thing, just
like Survivor was not going to do a
470
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.079
damn thing to go into the nineties. All right, for all us Survivor
471
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:37.079
fans, we do not promote or
condone the crap talk on Survivor here back
472
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:39.079
to the eighties, but we do
listen to it because it is the chang.
473
00:42:39.199 --> 00:42:43.880
Yeah, that's right. Now here's
another crappy band. Oh excuse me,
474
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:50.559
I'm sorry about that. Here's another
band that let's see, I'll put
475
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:53.920
this in layman terms. They went
from the seventies into sucking. There I
476
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:59.000
said it, are you ready for
this band? And Readywood Mac. You
477
00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:02.599
know, finally we agree on something, talk about a band that I feel.
478
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:07.719
This is just me personally. I
feel as overrated, but not quite
479
00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:12.239
as overrated as Rush. But anyway, that's all we digress. Yeah,
480
00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:16.000
so Fleetwood Max I would have to
agree with you. No, no,
481
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:22.119
do you not agree? Bro?
They came out with some catastrophic music,
482
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:27.599
a heavy sound when they crew,
when they made Tusk with the USC Marching
483
00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:31.480
Band. The one thing about that
band that stood out is Lindsay Buckingham would
484
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:35.320
sing. Now, that would have
been the only reason I would have ever
485
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:37.800
wanted to hang around with him,
to get free blow. Back into the
486
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:43.920
age the cocaine use involved in Fleetwood
Mac it is said that they did enough
487
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:50.920
blow to fill eight miles worth of
a street. Can you believe that?
488
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:52.760
Now? If the chang was with
them, they would have only been able
489
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:57.960
to account for five miles. But
now this is a band that kind of
490
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:02.719
dissolved instead of evolved. In the
eighties, their music got a little poppy.
491
00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:07.079
There was a lot of kind of
mistrust in the band and you could
492
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:13.159
hear it in their music. I
believe Lindsey Buckingham took some time away from
493
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:16.559
the band in the eighties. I
believe Christine McVie and John McVie the bass
494
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:21.280
player, were going through a divorce
and all in all of their music was
495
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:25.159
sucking, and Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie
Nicks were breaking up and the mcveighs were
496
00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:32.079
breaking up. Mick Fleetwood sat behind
the kid writing talentless crap music while snorting
497
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:37.239
cocaine off his high hats. And
to me, that is weak, just
498
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:40.800
like every song they put out in
the eighties. I said it. I
499
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:46.000
said it. Now you mentioned another
artist that came out of that band,
500
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:52.000
Stevie Nicks. Oh my goodness,
Stevie Nicks rocked the scene with her debut
501
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:57.960
solo album Bella Donna in nineteen eighty
one. Now, some people say she's
502
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.559
like the good Witch. You know
what I mean, because she wore white
503
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:05.840
and she had beautiful blonde hair.
I mean, she was very attractive,
504
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:10.119
don't get me wrong, But that
kind of music, it's another. Hey,
505
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:15.000
you're listening to Mark and Kim right
here at Coast on one. So
506
00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:19.239
what do you have to say for
Edge of seventeen. I think Edge of
507
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:22.039
seventeen should have probably died at sixteen, That's what I'll say to that.
508
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:25.480
You know, that song just missed
out on the top ten on the Billboard
509
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:30.480
one, peaking at number eleven in
the US, Edge of seventeen, And
510
00:45:30.480 --> 00:46:01.960
that is hilarious. Now, you
know what's so hilarious? The Billboard top
511
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:07.639
I don't know what billboard they were, you know, striving from but the
512
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:12.440
one on rosecrans at Normandy right now, that's the one. Though. I
513
00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:15.920
believe that's by the train tracks that
nobody really sees exactly. If I would
514
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:20.599
have had a sledgehammer, or maybe
I would have had a chainsaw, I
515
00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:23.840
would have cut that billboard down because
I was like, good god, your
516
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:28.440
list of great music really sucks.
But you know what, you gotta hand
517
00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:34.360
it to her because this has been
Stevie Nick's most enduring and recognizable song,
518
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.039
Hedge of seventeen. They still played
this on the radio, did that?
519
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:39.119
Yes? They do. They overplay
it. As a matter of fact.
520
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:46.639
Bands are like Fleetwood Mac and Foreigner. Oh wa, wait a minute,
521
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:51.800
that those are the those are the
two biggest reasons why I had from radio
522
00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:57.800
sucks in Los Angeles, California.
Foreigner is an amazing band. Come on,
523
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:01.519
look at songs like Jukebox zero.
Well, great song. Maybe back
524
00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:05.519
in the seventies, seventy eight,
seventy nine there were a great band.
525
00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:08.559
But come on, when Lay first
came out, I want to know,
526
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:12.280
I thought you were gonna say,
I want to know what I was like,
527
00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:15.920
Oh my god, you guys suck
for I want to know what love
528
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:19.159
is. But I didn't want to
know what love is. I just wanted
529
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:22.880
to know what station could I put
on to where I don't hear your god
530
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:25.239
gang, there's the hater. That's
what I thought of, all right?
531
00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:31.159
Well, what about nineteen eighty three
album by zz Top called Eliminator was produced
532
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:38.800
by their band manager Bill Hamm,
and this was a song called sharp Dressed
533
00:47:39.400 --> 00:48:15.000
Man ZZ Time, Yeah, Chris
about his Well, of course it wasn't
534
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:19.320
for MTV. I don't think that
album would have done as well as it
535
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.360
did. You know, this was
about the time when Sex Sells and zz
536
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:25.679
Chop came out looking like a couple
of old perverted guys straight out of a
537
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:30.280
senior center with those long beards where
who knows what the heck was in there,
538
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:34.239
what kind of food they had eaten
weeks previously, And they came out
539
00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:38.800
to two hot smoke and chicks and
a badass ride. Unfortunately, MTV only
540
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:45.880
made one particular song really really famous
over that entire album, and that was
541
00:48:46.079 --> 00:48:51.719
Legs. Why obviously because of you
know, chicks legs and so it was
542
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:54.440
all a marketing thing. But they
that song did really, really well,
543
00:48:54.599 --> 00:49:01.079
because all guys would see when they
heard the song were those legs exactly.
544
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:07.599
You know. The only time I
would I would sometimes watch MTV out of
545
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:09.800
boredom, and I would only watch
for the Hot Chicks. I'm not gonna
546
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:13.519
lie, I'm going out right now. I'm going out right now on leg
547
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:15.920
I'll lege on my own. Yeah, I only watch the Hot Chicks to
548
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:20.519
start now. That is a great
band that did come from the seventies that
549
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:25.599
kind of had that kind of blues
Texas style a lot like a great Oh
550
00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:30.000
here's another great guy out of Austin, Texas, Steven ray Van that falls
551
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:34.920
the falls into the realm of rock
and roll in the eighties. But then
552
00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:37.360
that's a whole nother list of rock
and roll that we can go into.
553
00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:43.320
Blues Fuse, Robert Rayley, you
know what I mean. But Ray Vaughan,
554
00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:46.079
I have to say, Ray Vaughan
to me was one of my favorite
555
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:52.440
artists back in the late eighties.
Guitar Wizard, guitar God. I put
556
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:55.559
him up in the ranks of Eric
Clapton. I put him in the ranks
557
00:49:55.599 --> 00:50:00.400
of Jimmy Hendrix. I put him
in the ranks of Muddy Water Waters.
558
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:04.800
You know, I just put him
in the ranks of some of the greatest
559
00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:07.639
blues guitar players of all time.
Steven RayBan I was very blessed and fortunate
560
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:13.079
to watch team play four times in
Los Angeles. Man, what I would
561
00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:15.800
have given to have seen Stevie ray
Van while he was alive. Well,
562
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:19.599
I'll tell you what. Let's jump
over to April tenth, nineteen eighty four,
563
00:50:19.639 --> 00:50:22.320
because the Heart of Rock and Roll
was the song that was performed by
564
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:27.800
Huey Lewis in the news, and
it was and it was based on a
565
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:32.599
comment that Huey Lewis made to the
band that later he changed it because he
566
00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:36.920
mentioned to the band the heart of
rock and Roll is still beating. This
567
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:38.360
was in nineteen eighty four, of
course, and according to him, the
568
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:44.079
message of the song is that there's
real rock and roll in other places as
569
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:47.079
well, other than la in New
York. That is a band that goes
570
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:52.760
under the scope a lot. Bro
If they fall under the microscope, a
571
00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:58.039
lot of people will classify then as
kind of pop. I particularly do not,
572
00:50:58.280 --> 00:51:00.760
just probably like you dumb, A
lot of mad respect for hughe Lewis
573
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:07.760
in the news. Anybody that incorporates
brass, anybody that incorporates the sound of
574
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:15.719
horns, anybody that incorporates the feeling
of wanting to dance to just regular rock
575
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:20.719
and roll and have such a soulful
voice as Huey Lewis did, and to
576
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:25.440
have the kind of fashion that they
did. They all wore glasses, they
577
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:30.480
all wore dark sunglasses, suit They
look very business attire. I got a
578
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:34.280
lot of mad respect for Huey Lewis
in the news, and I think that
579
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:38.119
that Dan kind of got jipped a
little bit in being honored and brought up
580
00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:42.639
for the talent that they really were. A matter of a real quick story.
581
00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:47.159
I did meet Huey Lewis at one
time in nineteen eighty five in Hollywood
582
00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:53.519
on Kwega at a seventy eleven.
He was one of the coolest dudes I've
583
00:51:53.559 --> 00:51:57.199
ever met. I met him in
line. I was getting a big gulp
584
00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:00.559
and he was getting a copy.
It was about nine o'clock, no ten
585
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:02.880
o'clock in the morning. I was
a union painter at the time, so
586
00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:07.719
I met him getting my break soda
pop and of course a hot dog,
587
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:10.599
and I said, whoa huie man, I'm a big fan. Love your
588
00:52:10.679 --> 00:52:14.840
music. What are you guys going
to do next? I love how you
589
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:17.760
incorporated the Horns. He was classic
broth, totally a cool dude. Matter
590
00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:22.800
of fact, he bought my hot
dog and my big gulp and we continue
591
00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:25.800
talking all the way out till I
got in my work truck and he got,
592
00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:30.320
of course in his Mercedes bands convertible. Great band if you just joined
593
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:34.039
it. This is Toscano from Toscano
and Jay here at Back to the Eighties.
594
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:38.239
We are talking about rock and we
are ending our Rock Cruise series today
595
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:44.119
with our fourth and final episode.
We're gonna come back from a quick break.
596
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:47.199
But I want to leave you with
a band that is my number one
597
00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:55.559
band ever from their greatest album from
nineteen eighty seven to Joshua Tree. That's
598
00:52:55.639 --> 00:53:00.199
right, none other than you two
with Where the Streets Have No Name On
599
00:53:00.440 --> 00:54:20.280
Back to the Eighties Radio. I
want, I want to high. I
600
00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:30.159
want to tell down the loves,
the homely inside. I want to reside
601
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:50.800
and to the flame where you sit. I want side of my face I
602
00:54:51.039 --> 00:55:07.480
see the disappear with her chance.
I want to shut where the season,
603
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:37.119
where season? When the season money? I still being when it's hard,
604
00:55:43.920 --> 00:56:00.920
the seasons to rust beating blow,
when the sound windows I show you place
605
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:30.800
as a play, where is she
play? She still be And when I
606
00:56:30.159 --> 00:57:37.679
was still to see your sus she
to us tippity tippity do you are back
607
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:43.719
to the Tiscano and Chang revival here
at back to the eighties. And that
608
00:57:44.199 --> 00:57:47.199
was a great, great song.
And I gotta tell you there is no
609
00:57:47.280 --> 00:57:52.440
other band like that. I hope
you liked it, but we've got more
610
00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:55.599
to talk about it. As a
matter of fact, Tiscano listening to that
611
00:57:55.639 --> 00:58:00.440
song of the great YouTube, one
of the greatest albums I think, besides
612
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:06.199
War, that YouTube could ever create. And you know I have special homage
613
00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:10.280
in a special place for YouTube,
just like you. I feel YouTube was
614
00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:15.280
as great as the Beatles. Every
album they did was different. Bono came
615
00:58:15.320 --> 00:58:20.559
out and stood up like a humanitarian
in the same style as the late great
616
00:58:20.679 --> 00:58:25.800
mentor himself. To me John Lennon, diabolical the way that those Kays came
617
00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:30.079
up with hit after hit. They
would just dive into the studio and just
618
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:36.960
give you everything from their heart and
soul. The song Streets with No Name
619
00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:42.960
that is so open on the horizon
of what it means, because I think
620
00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:46.800
everybody could identify with being in that
place with the street with no name.
621
00:58:47.239 --> 00:58:52.440
Whether you're trapped in a moment of
time in your mind, or you're visiting
622
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:57.960
somewhere you're not familiar with, or
you say you're moving on with your life
623
00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:00.199
and you get away from home.
That's a you can listen to that.
624
00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:04.719
It's going to give you all those
memories back of what you just left or
625
00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:07.159
why you just left. A very
great band and I'm glad you brought them
626
00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:17.480
up. You're listening to back to
the eighties, back to the eighties.
627
00:59:17.840 --> 00:59:23.000
This is the time of the show
where this is the time of the show
628
00:59:23.039 --> 00:59:29.159
where we talk about what made us
angry in the nineteen eighties. And in
629
00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:34.239
honor of the most wondrous and the
most fluid, the most notorious chang we
630
00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:39.440
now call them changres. So chang
what made you changry in the nineteen eighties?
631
00:59:39.679 --> 00:59:43.840
You know what made me changry back
in the eighties, Having to pay
632
00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:49.760
on TV to watch the Raisinets are
Rolling Stone. Oh my. All I
633
00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:52.159
could do when I sat there with
my sister watching that concert, was like,
634
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:55.360
man, are one of these guys
gonna die to say goodbye? You
635
00:59:55.400 --> 01:00:02.320
know what else got me changry back
in the eighties? What love Her boy

the eighties? Do you want to know?
639
01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:21.039
Damn qv you know what else got
me changry back in the eighties?
640
01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:25.559
Ronald Reagan say no to drugs?
You know what else got me changry back
641
01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:31.000
in the nineteen eighties. I've already
mentioned it anytime I had to see Jonathan
642
01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:37.119
Kane in the Jersey and Night but
a weasel, That, ladies, gentlemen,
643
01:00:37.199 --> 01:00:40.280
has been this week's chang reason.
If you have something that made you
644
01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:43.599
angry in the nineteen eighties and want
to share it with us, go ahead
645
01:00:43.639 --> 01:00:47.400
and drop us a note on our
Facebook page and we'd be more than glad
646
01:00:47.440 --> 01:00:52.440
to read it. Here on Back
to the eighties, So we're talking about
647
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:57.440
rocking and chang This is the home
stretch. I'm gonna have to kick the
648
01:00:57.480 --> 01:01:00.719
door and with his next band,
A lot of our listeners, if you
649
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:05.079
really, really really are deep into
the eighties music, you have to give
650
01:01:05.119 --> 01:01:09.280
it up for a band that had
a short lived time. And that bandy
651
01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:15.800
is called the power Station Tusky.
Do you remember the power Station very little?
652
01:01:15.119 --> 01:01:20.519
They were the power Station Band.
Now. Power Station first floored us
653
01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:27.320
with some like it Hot Now.
This band was led by the extraordinary vocalist,
654
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:32.840
the late great Robert Palmer, and
it was also the members. There
655
01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:37.360
was a band called Sheet back in
the seventies, the drummer Tony Thompson,
656
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:43.159
Robert Palmer. And get this,
the brothers of Duran Durand that's right,
657
01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:50.079
the brothers of Duran Duran, Andy
and John Taylor. Yes, this band,
658
01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:53.800
and you know John Taylor was on
base and Andy Taylor was on guitar.
659
01:01:54.360 --> 01:01:58.840
Yes, that's a very good fun
fact. I have that in my
660
01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:01.320
script notes. I don't know how
you've seen them, but you beat me
661
01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:07.039
to the punch. I think I
think you're wearing that tough jiu jitsu.
662
01:02:07.679 --> 01:02:12.360
She is all of a sudden,
you think you could just kick the chang's
663
01:02:12.400 --> 01:02:15.920
ass. I'm gonna come up in
my own fun facts, but I give
664
01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:19.119
you a lot of credit for jumping
in and give me that fun fact.
665
01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:22.840
Now. This was a band that
was formed in nineteen eighty four. They
666
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:28.719
had three top ten hit busting songs
on the charts. A great band,
667
01:02:28.800 --> 01:02:32.440
I would I would have really loved
to have seen them carry it on beyond
668
01:02:32.519 --> 01:02:37.119
the eighties, but they did not. All right, saying so, another
669
01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:40.679
one of the bands I want to
bring up actually not even a band anymore
670
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:46.840
because after Genesis, Phil Collins took
off on his own and Phil Collins he
671
01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:53.679
does not suck. Plus, Phil
Collins has one of those repertoire of music
672
01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:58.639
that almost every song is a hit. I got one more band now that
673
01:02:58.679 --> 01:03:02.480
you brought up, that crappy Phil
Collins. Guy Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
674
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:07.639
Okay, okay, I like him. That was a great fan Tom
675
01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:09.239
Petty and the Heartbreakers. They came
out and you kind of looked at him.
676
01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:12.360
You were like, man, am
I watching the guy from he Haws?
677
01:03:12.400 --> 01:03:15.840
That's a donkey. No, that's
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Yeah,
678
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:21.360
didn't hear it looked like when you
first see him. Yeah, I
679
01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:30.280
was like, oh, you wouldn't
made man man. He kind of sounded
680
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:45.039
like Bob Dylan on blow I'm glad
we man. Yeah. Yeah. The
681
01:03:45.119 --> 01:03:50.360
variety the music is the eighties and
they were big hits and there continue to
682
01:03:50.440 --> 01:03:54.000
be big hits from the eighties.
That's because the music spoke of the minds
683
01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:59.440
of the people. It made no
apologies. We could all identify with the
684
01:03:59.599 --> 01:04:04.360
slow ballads of course from Phil Collins
in the afternoon and put up a black
685
01:04:04.440 --> 01:04:10.400
leather jacket rocking to Iron Maiden by
nighttime. We didn't have to apologize to
686
01:04:10.440 --> 01:04:15.800
anyone. We had the freedom to
express ourselves. Experimenting and lyrics became an
687
01:04:15.840 --> 01:04:20.840
integral part of the eighties, and
that, my dear eighties fans, it's
688
01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:28.039
precisely the reason why the eighties will
never die. This is back to the
689
01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:32.320
eighties radio. I'm Tiscano from Tiscanno. Win chang till next week. God
690
01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:36.679
bless this is a chang. Before
I release you to another chang tastic weekend,
691
01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:43.119
I'll have to apologize. During tiscanno
speech, I was laughing because I
692
01:04:43.239 --> 01:04:47.400
was I was just I couldn't believe
that me and Tiscanno could nail Tom Petty's
693
01:04:47.480 --> 01:04:51.920
voice and not even single lyric that
was beautiful. So we're gonna leave you
694
01:04:51.960 --> 01:04:56.519
on that note. Remember, stay
lifted and gifted. Everybody, do something
695
01:04:56.559 --> 01:05:00.639
bigger than yourself, stand up for
something bigger for in yourself. Call somebody
696
01:05:00.639 --> 01:05:03.719
you haven't called, Go see somebody
you haven't seen, get your shots,
697
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:08.519
do what you gotta do, and
remember tomorrow is a better day. To
698
01:05:08.679 --> 01:05:15.639
all my friends out there, I
bid you an audios astamanyana and to all
699
01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:32.239
my homies in the barrio all around, order nick na me back.
