I'm the lead singer vocalist. Man. Well, I mean it's nothing

24
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.480
better. This is a pleasure for
all of us, of course, But

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.359
we're actually giving away tickets to your

26
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.239

own gig? Yeah, here's what
happens. Pabbity babbity boob boop boop.

29
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.959
You know, the band gets so
many tickets per head, you know,

30
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.040
because we're playing and we gotta like
them off salom. You know, it

31
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.719
would make a couple of extra bucks
for scratch for some gigs, maybe some

32
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.280
whiskey. You're trying to get tickets
to your own gig just to make a

33
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.120
little extra on the side, is
that right? Well, in a way,

34
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.039
it's to cover a debt. Yeah, here's the here's the low pro

35
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.800
on this one. Bro Okay,
I need these four tickets because I need

36
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:23.080
to get my chicken there, Sandy
and her sister Sam, her boyfriend Dan,

37
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.840
and my best buddy of the whole
world, Tracy. I need to

38
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.800
get him into that show because you
know, the comp tickets that I got

39
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.680
for a group of mine. I
had to give to my friends slash drug

40
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.879
dealer Rick over there on Hawthorn Street, my six tickets because I owed them

41
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.719
so much money for some blow you
know, the only thing I could do

42
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.680
at the time, because you know, I foul full ladder, so I

43
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.039
can't really, you know, get
on stage and do too much work because

44
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.240
I used to be in the road
crew. Now I'm the big, badass

45
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.439
ax swinger. I had to play
my debt off with some of my tickets.

00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.840
Cool. Well, I want to

00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:59.400
midnight on the one in Oli.
Back to the eighties radio. Back who

58
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.560
welcome everybody. This is the one
and only back to the eighties radio.

59
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.720
This is Toscano from the incredible duo
Toscano Win Chang Yard. Back to the

60
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.360
eighties and you know it's another Friday. I want to thank you guys for

61
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:26.399
taking your time and taking a listen
to the eighties experience. But you know

62
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.800
what, we can't do this alone
and we shouldn't with me is a man

63
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.399
who has more posters of Robert Smith
than even Robert Smith himself. He was

64
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:42.879
a man that was seen in the
eighties actually being a personal assistant to Dave

65
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:48.959
Gone from Depeche Mode. We just
know him as the wondrous Chang. Oh,

66
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:55.720
Toscano, you are too kind with
your loving insults at and to bring

67
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.360
such a vivid picture of me surrounded
by pictures of Robert Smith. The saw

68
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.199
character on a tricycle will looks like
he was tat dude by a target sign

69
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:10.160
that one really hit below the bell. Oh you loved it and I loved

70
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:15.680
it. We are doing and finishing
up a show called Wizards of the Guitar

71
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.800
World in the nineteen eighties, so
nineteen eighties Greatest Guitarist and today this is

72
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:23.800
part two. We could actually do
this show chang or part ten, but

73
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.720
we're not going to be able to
do that. If you are listening to

74
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.759
back to the eighties for the very
first time, we usually have music here

75
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.680
on the show. Unfortunately, if
you're listening to us on a podcast platform,

76
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:39.160
you'll only be able to hear the
beginning, maybe a little bit of

77
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.199
the beginning and the end. They
don't allow us to play the whole thing.

78
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.480
So you can hear us on k
Hits ninety two point five every Friday,

79
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.959
Saturday and Sunday from four pm all
the way until six pm. You

80
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.439
can listen to the show in its
entirety with music and everything. If you

81
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.199
do it on your phone, you
can actually download the Live three sixty five

82
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.879
app and you can listen to radio
station anytime, twenty four hours a day.

83
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.160
And that's kay Hits ninety two point
five. We've got the largest selection

84
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.120
of eighties music in the world.
Trust me, nobody has the variety that

85
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.199
we have. Chang. When we
come back, we're gonna be talking about

86
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.199
those riffs, those artists, those
guitarists that made the eighties all that much

87
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:35.959
better. Welcome back to back to
the eighties radio chang here of Toscanowa Chang

88
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:40.879
that was the faster Pussycat. We
are talking about the acts masters, the

89
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.240
wizards are we not? We are, And we are also mentioning some of

90
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.920
the riffs that they created. So
along with the guitar masters, you can't

91
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:54.399
go without mentioning the riffs, because
even though a lot of our listeners have

92
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.720
not been either born in the eighties
or went through the eighties, they know

93
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.040
these riffs. And if they didn't
know the artist, they'll know him tonight.

94
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.560
So it's a great opportunity for you
to learn who they are and learn

95
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:12.279
what they did and why they're so
famous. I think maybe we did talk

96
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.720
about this one guitar player with this
one riff that everyone knows this band for,

97
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:21.040
and that was mister Angus Young and
his brother Malcolm Young. And who

98
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:26.879
could forget that rip? I mean, it's on commercials. As soon as

99
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.959
you hear it, you just start
banging your head, don't you, and

100
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:35.240
doing that gyration sensation as you play
your guitar ACDC. Most of their songs

101
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.360
on any one of their albums were
huge hits. It was one of those

102
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:45.399
bands that you toss a coin and
any number that you would fall on on

103
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.560
the on a CD or if you
played their cassette or the record, just

104
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.040
any song you would hear it on
the radio. Now, let me ask

105
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:57.079
you this, chang Would you consider
a CDC a pop rock band? I

106
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.319
would say pop in a certain way. Yes, not in pop culture,

107
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.399
but they became popular. Some of
their songs became pretty complex, pretty easy.

108
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.959
I'll refer to the different styles of
the band with both lead singers.

109
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:16.720
But here's where I think they differ. With bon Scott more bluesy. With

110
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.040
Brian, they kind of catered to
his lyrics, his style of singing.

111
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.720
He was more of a rough,
screaming kind of guy. Bon Scott was

112
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.600
a little bit more melodic and you
know, could be rough and tough and

113
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:35.039
high and low Brian Johnson. I
mean, if you listen to that,

114
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.879
especially the album we've talked about Back
in Black, almost the beginning of the

115
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.519
complexity to what happened with that band. And you know, as their albums

116
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.879
came out, they changed and some
of their songs became very popular. I

117
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.519
wouldn't call him pop. I wouldn't
say that they were hanging around with Madonna

118
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.960
more popular Aria And Yeah, it
just happened to be one of those bands

119
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:01.759
that had electrifying live performances. Their
guitarists young of course right now, for

120
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.799
creating some of them some of the
most memorable and iconic guitar rists in all

121
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.519
of rock history. You mentioned Back
in Black. I got songs like Highwood,

122
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.799
a hell Thunderstruck. They've all become
legendary. I mean his he had

123
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.799
a distinct style, and of course
that contributed to the band's appeal. They

124
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:22.399
were a band that not only has
yeah that was bluesy rock, you know,

125
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.159
these heavy riffs, but they've also
been a band that, because of

126
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:31.639
their consistency and longevity, they have
been cross generational, and they've gained this

127
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.799
appeal because they've transcended generations. I
mean there's rock enthusiasts that grew up from

128
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:45.039
way before them that love them during
the eighties. And look, there's even

129
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.600
little kids. I mean, you've
got children that are listening to a CDC

130
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.039
songs today and they know some of
the songs. Yeah, here's one that

131
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.240
I'll tell you for a loop Mark
No Offfler and Dire Straits. That's a

132
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.559
song and a guitar riff. I
mean, I mean everyone knows it.

133
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.039
Children, my grandchildren might even know
that that freaking song with that. You

134
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.120
know what I mean now is this
are you talking about a song like Money

135
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.320
for Nothing? Exactly that song?
I mean, seeing that we're going to

136
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.399
talk about some of the riffs that
as soon as you hear that riff,

137
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.320
the first couple of sounds out of
your earbox. You're gonna know what that

138
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.799
that song is. You know,
I'm gonna see Money for Nothing is one

139
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:24.399
of them Van Halen, you know, with Panama with Jump. There's so

140
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.200
many songs and so many artists that
we can, you know, bring to

141
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.840
the table right now that the younger
generation is gonna just know by listening to

142
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:33.799
those songs, you know, in
their car with their parents. You know,

143
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.559
when you put on these shirts that
you think look cool, let's say

144
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.279
Metallica or ACDC or you know,
Rush or whatever it is that you don't

145
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:46.799
know just because they look vintage or
retro. It's time that you listen to

146
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.879
the show because you're gonna learn here
who they were and what songs they played.

147
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:56.799
Like. For example, I'm gonna
give you this following song and riff

148
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:03.759
and guitarist. To me, it's
my second favorite band ever and it's a

149
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.639
guitar riff in one of the most
iconic songs of the entire eighties, a

150
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.039
song that everybody who loves music knows
this following song and the riff, but

151
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.440
they don't know Jim Heeterick, who
was a member of the band Survivor,

152
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.440
who co wrote the song with Frankie
Sullivan that became one of Survivor's biggest hits,

153
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.240
and it was, of course in
the Rocky franchise. And I'm talking

154
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:33.240
about the most famous song called I
of the Tiger. Oh that's your favorite

155
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.720
song. Well, no, it's
not my favorite song. No, it's

156
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.679
not my favorite. Okay, okay, Dick Hator, welcome aboard, Welcome

157
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:45.039
to the show. Dick. No, No, not Dick Hator. I'm

158
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.720
just merely pointing out, okay,
that you like to parade around in your

159
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.960
box like Stalone, listening to this
in the bathroom after you shower. The

160
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.279
boys have messaged me listen to my
dad, Oh my god, the Eye

161
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.159
of the Tiger. Yeah, wow, you got I mean, come on,

162
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.960
you have to admit it makes me
want to talk to you like mister

163
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.919
t Don't tell me, don't are
you trying to tell me that when I

164
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.159
the Tiger comes on the radio,
whenever it does, it doesn't want to

165
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.039
make you dance and just start singing
along with with Survivor. Now, don't

166
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.000
lie, now, okay, the
silence. I said everything, lady and

167
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.879
gentlemen, there you go. It
does it. So you're trying to say

168
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.840
you don't like either Tiger. No, I don't. Well, there you

169
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.320
go, ladies and gentlemen. We're
gonna take a break here while I digest.

170
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.399
Oh my gosh, she's worse than
Dicator. Bring Dicator on the show.

171
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.480
Chang's gotta go. Let's just let's
just you know, we're gonna have

172
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.639
to stop and we're gonna get in
the ring. You are listening to the

173
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.559
dynamic duel of stupidity right here,
back to the eighties radio, and here

174
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:52.720
is Survivor with the eile the Tiger. You probably don't know how much words

175
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:58.000
can hurt, but cyber bullying is
real. Whether it's in person or behind

176
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:03.879
the screen to comment or an unnecessary
share. Words can hurt a song.

177
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:11.840
Words can affect lives, Words can
even end lives. This message has been

178
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:22.519
brought to you by your friends at
care. Oh yeah, you're listening to

179
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:33.159
back to the eighties, Back to
the eighties radio. You are live with

180
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.960
Tiscano and Chang and a little bit
of the hater on board. You've just

181
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:46.039
heard Survivor with the iconic eye of
the Tiger, followed by ac DC with

182
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.639
rock and roll. Ain't noise pollution. If you just joined us. We

183
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.039
were talking about the iconic guitarists or
the guitar wizards of the nineteen eighties,

184
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.519
So thank you for joining us.
Chang. We continue on part two,

185
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.919
searching for the famous guitarists of that
time and also telling people what are some

186
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.480
of those riffs, What are some
of those riffs that really just stand out

187
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.679
and that even hey, even the
younger generation. Note today, the first

188
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:20.360
guitar player I'm going to bring up
is also in a dual band metal and

189
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.519
I'm talking about Metallica with Kirk Hemmett. He is a master, a wizard,

190
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:33.399
a godfather to California metal. Mister
Kirk Hemmett, I think is one

191
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:39.559
of the greatest wizards on the acts
in metal, in music in my generation

192
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:45.200
or the generations that follow me.
When I am long gone and I am

193
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:50.240
off to another path, you know, there was a there was a song

194
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:56.759
that is considered to be their most
memorable, their most influential guitar hook and

195
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:03.480
riff. It resonates with fans around
the world. I mean everything about this

196
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.159
following song. Now, it is
said the song was written in the late

197
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:13.919
eighties, but it came out until
ninety one. On the self entitled album,

198
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:20.639
the Black Album, and it's the
song called Intern Sandman Album Inter Sandman.

199
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:30.720
But you know, Kurt is a
prime example of heavy aggressive. That

200
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:37.200
powerful sound of the Metallica isn't known
for chugging and menacing guitar riff. I

201
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.399
mean, that's what grabs the listeners
attention and sets the tone for the entire

202
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.919
songs. Yeah, he does.
You know James Headfield, he's a pretty

203
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:52.279
badass guitar player, as you know, as the backup guitar players a harmonizing

204
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.559
the vocalist. But Kirk Hemmett,
I mean, dude, he's a bad

205
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:02.320
ass guitar player. I definitely a
great guitar player. Here's another cat,

206
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:08.120
Joe Perry of Aerosmith. Oh yes, it's a great guitar wizard, and

207
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:15.159
you know it has had so much
longevity in his career and has never really

208
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.000
slowed down his style of play.
You know, like a gun slinger with

209
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.679
a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Yeah you know what I mean,

210
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:26.600
with his shirt up and almost like
a more sober Keith Richards. I would

211
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:33.440
say, you know, j he
says he's stupid moral it's just going to

212
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:41.360
well, you know, you mentioned
Aerosmith. And you know, and although

213
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:47.639
you hate the words or the three
letters MTV, you gotta give it up

214
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:53.320
for MTV because they're making they made
in the eighties. They made the bands

215
00:16:55.159 --> 00:17:00.440
ability to present themselves in a different
light, and they it literally introduced the

216
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:04.799
bands to the world in a different
light, of course, So that was

217
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:10.400
an opportunity for Aerosmith to come out
and present what they had. I mean,

218
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:14.720
that's the first when I first saw
Aerosmith, I was blown away.

219
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:18.200
I mean, what a great rock
band, Aerosmith. And it's another band

220
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.640
like ACDC that we were talking about
that even though they were popular because the

221
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:29.839
most of their songs were hit they
weren't of the pop culture. They still

222
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:34.319
maintained that rock vibe and spirit.
You're right. Another guitar player that comes

223
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:41.599
to mind, I'm talking about the
cat that came from southern California, a

224
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:48.319
guitar wizard could have done great things
had he lived. Started with quiet Riot,

225
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.880
took La by Storm, took music
by storm, took Ozzie and Sharon

226
00:17:53.960 --> 00:18:00.640
Osborne by Storm joined Ozzie and catapulted
to one of the greatest fricking guitar players

227
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.000
of his age, his day,
his style of music, and he had

228
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:08.039
so much tell him and he had
so much in him to where he could

229
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:12.839
not only just play metal rock.
I mean, the dude could lay those

230
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:19.440
strings down on classical Spanish, I
mean just about anything. Randy Rhodes was

231
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:26.000
teaching kids how to play guitar as
a guitar teacher when he was nineteen years

232
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:32.200
old. You know you're a badass
if you've mastered it by nineteen Yeah,

233
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:36.400
yeah, that's true. I mean, mister Crowley, you know he did

234
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.759
a quick song that's just him acoustically, d not acoustically, but man,

235
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.880
it's heavy duty. The guy was
phenomenal. One of my favorite guitar players

236
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:52.039
of all time, Randy Rhodes.
And if you younger cats and kiddies out

237
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:57.119
there have not listened to him,
which I think is probably wow anal redundant.

238
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.440
If you have not heard anything from
Aussie now, maybe you listen to

239
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:06.400
Zach Wild, another great guitar player, but I'm talking about Randy Rhodes.

240
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:11.960
Check out Randy Rhodes YouTube them catching
kiddies and you are going to definitely be

241
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.200
watching greatness and you're going to feel
a lump in your throat because you know,

242
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:21.319
he's no longer with us after that
fatal airplane accident. With him in

243
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:23.559
the pilot, we're doing a little
bit too much parting and then you know,

244
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:29.759
clip the tour bus and we all
know how that ended. But Randy

245
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:34.519
Rhodes definitely a great guitar player coming
up next for you know, one of

246
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:40.400
the bands and the guitarist that I
remember. Nineteen eighty one, there was

247
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:47.720
an album called Moving Pictures and in
this album there's a guitarist of this band.

248
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.160
The band is called Well by the
way. The band is a Canadian

249
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:56.200
progressive rock band with lots of memorable
riffs, but one of the most iconic,

250
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:03.519
instantly recognizable riffs comes from their song
Tom Sawyer, I'm talking about the

251
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:10.880
band Rush with Alex Liveson. You
know. This is not my favorite band,

252
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:15.680
as you know, and Chang you
know this, but I cannot cannot

253
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:22.240
deny how great this band is when
they start playing coupled with Getty Lee's vocals

254
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:27.880
Neil Peart's masterful drumming. I mean
the commercial success. Yeah, commercial success

255
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:33.839
has left an impact on rock music. In the history of rock music.

256
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.920
Oh hell yes, amen to that
one. I got to see Rush four

257
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:44.039
times in my lifetime blown away every
every time I've seen him, the Moving

258
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:51.279
Pictures, I went to signals,
I went to go see twice as a

259
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:55.759
matter of fact, the Moving Pictures
Tour, you know, and then I've

260
00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:00.319
seen them later on down the road
where they were us going to be closing

261
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:06.119
out. So memorable act. I
think one of the greatest three piece acts

262
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:11.119
of all time, Alex Livesong along
with his partner's wizardry. The Life Song

263
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:17.000
was a life form ahead of himself
to create such a sound called Prague Rock.

264
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:22.400
Definitely intelligent as the three of them
are mastering musicians. Who else you

265
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:27.519
got? Tusky Well, I was
thinking, we go ahead and let everybody

266
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:33.160
remember, and for those that don't
remember have never heard, we can let

267
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.839
him here a little bit of rush
and Tom Sawyer here on back to the

268
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:51.960
eighties radio when the economy was good
and the medal was heavy. Man,

269
00:21:52.400 --> 00:22:11.799
Back to the eighties. Welcome back
to back to the eighties radio. Toscano

270
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:17.319
and Chang right here in charge to
charge. We just came back with the

271
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:23.839
ever so great threesome from Canada.
Oh, everybody's favorite guitar player tonight is

272
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:30.000
mister Alec Live song with some Tom
Sawyer. We also followed it up with

273
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:34.440
a little bit of some greatness with
Aerosmith When a Dikening strikes and something from

274
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:41.640
Metallica John and Justice for All.
We are talking about guitar wizards, acts,

275
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:48.279
grinders and everything that ever danced upon
a fret board and strings with all

276
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:53.000
kinds of crazy things, boys and
girls, cats and kitties. As you

277
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.519
tripped out on some great music,
I want to remind you before we go

278
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:02.960
on with the show, to hit
us on all our social media platforms.

279
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:10.079
Join the conversation, joining the group, joining the sensation, joining the vibration

280
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:14.720
that we hear it back to the
eighties. Radio are trying to bring you.

281
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.200
And if you have a dedication,
you have a topic you want to

282
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.000
get talked about and get heard,
maybe you want to try to get a

283
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.759
hold of us. If you have
an X grinder or a guitar wizard that

284
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:33.359
you want to talk about, hit
us on our social media now, Tuscano,

285
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.759
are you ready to match up three
for three with me? Ready?

286
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.799
When you are okay, my brother, okay, then I say I say

287
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:47.359
here we go. I'm going to
talk about a band from Ireland similar to

288
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:53.240
the Beatles, inspired many of their
generation, a guitar player that has changed

289
00:23:53.359 --> 00:24:00.480
the course of music within every album
he created with his band. Then I'm

290
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:03.960
talking about the Edge, who had
the Edge with none other than you two,

291
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:11.519
one of the great guitar players out
of the eighties. I mean it's

292
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:19.400
classical in a sense, haunting in
a way, eerie some may say,

293
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:25.000
but just incredible. I know that's
one of your favorite bands as it is

294
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:29.880
mine. The Edge is a badass
cat. Remember that one track they did

295
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:34.599
when Love Comes to Town? Oh
yeah, Oh man. I'm going to

296
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:40.319
talk about a guitar player that was
around in the seventies and in the eighties,

297
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.400
but didn't do too well early on
in the seventies until the eighties here

298
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:51.960
in the States. I'm talking about
the Great Royalty Band from England, Queen

299
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.640
with a late great Freddie Mercury,
God Rest your soul, the greatest vocalist

300
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:03.000
orchestrating, audience driven lead men of
all times. But his counterpart, Oh

301
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.519
Lord have mercy. Don't you ever
forget who this matter? Ever forget about

302
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:14.039
the great Brian May who actually played
as a pick with a quarter. I'm

303
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:18.319
talking to twenty five cent piece,
that's right, Oh who came out in

304
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:25.200
the eighties, the albums they did, Holies Smack and if you get a

305
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:27.000
chance, if you get a chance
him, you don't know. And you're

306
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:33.160
from the younger generations, even if
you're a millennial and you get a chance,

307
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.119
go on YouTube and search up one
of the greatest, I mean one

308
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:42.319
of the greatest presentations or performances of
all time, and that was at Live

309
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:45.920
A nineteen eighty five. Type in
Live A nineteen eighty five, Queen,

310
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:51.440
that's all you got to type in, and you're going to see rock in

311
00:25:51.519 --> 00:26:00.880
its more most raw, most melodic, the greatest band, whether it's your

312
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:06.279
favorite or not, the greatest band
of all time at their very best.

313
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:08.720
And this is during a time when
it was more closely to the end than

314
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:15.240
it was from the beginning. And
Freddie Mercury and the entire band and Brian

315
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:22.119
May just brought the entire world to
its knees. Oh I mean Brian May.

316
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:27.039
I mean that band will be forever
remembered and forever missed in my eyes

317
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:30.920
and my ears. Probably many of
our generations will feel the same way.

318
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:37.279
You know, here's a band,
and here's a guitar player that I thought

319
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.000
was pretty badass because I followed this
guy's band. You know when I was

320
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.519
just a little chang, before I
was even the chang, I was just

321
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:51.079
chat. You were a little chang, little chang. You know here nothing

322
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:56.039
you were changy chingy. I was
chingy, not Chang. Yet a band

323
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:03.240
I want to bring to light is
none other than Black Sabbath Tony Iomi.

324
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.839
The man is a wizard beyond wizard, a dark wizard could be, a

325
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:12.960
dark lording could be. But plays
with a quarter of his finger missing.

326
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:18.279
How the hell could he do it? Is he related to the def Leopard

327
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:22.079
drummer? Oh no, that would
be an interesting band. Drummer from def

328
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:27.759
Leppard Tony Iomi without his fingerpiece?
Right? Oh, you know there's a

329
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:30.960
very famous guitarist. Now I'm not
sure if you know this following guitarist that

330
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:36.519
I'm gonna mention. We're not gonna
really go into too much detail. But

331
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:40.960
now that you said a missing piece
of the finger, this famous guitarist when

332
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:47.200
when, oh my gosh, what
was the the black guitarist that he died

333
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:49.640
at twenty seven in the sixties.
Oh my gosh, I forgot his name,

334
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:53.160
Jimmy Henry. Okay, yeah,
so when they asked Jimmy Hendrix.

335
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:56.000
Check this out. They asked Jimmy
Hendrix, how does it feel to be

336
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.799
the greatest guitar player in the world. He said, you know, I'd

337
00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:03.359
love to take that title, but
I can't because there's a young guy playing

338
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.200
in bars. His name is Phil
Keggy. If you get a chance,

339
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.440
check out Phil Keggie. Now,
Phil Keggy does a lot of classical and

340
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:17.839
does he does a lot of stuff
with electric guitars, but it's his own

341
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.240
style, his own weird style.
Checkout Phil Keggy. He is missing his

342
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:29.559
entire or the most of his ring
finger that he actually plays with. So

343
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.119
it's interesting that you would say that
because if you get a chance to check

344
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.880
out Phil KEGGI because in spite of
him being without that finger, that important

345
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:40.839
part, or who knows, maybe
if he had it, he wouldn't be

346
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:45.759
one of the greatest. Chang I've
got a band here that you know,

347
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:49.279
I didn't really listen to in the
eighties, but I do now that I'm

348
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:53.680
a lot older. But it is
a band that released a single in nineteen

349
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.759
eighty two. Let's see if you
know this. Okay, this is a

350
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.240
trivia for changing See if I can
stump chang. If I stump changing on

351
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.359
this chang, you might as well
give it up and go, you know,

352
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.440
go work somewhere. You know that
has nothing to do with music.

353
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:15.799
But I know, I know,
because you'll get it if anybody'll get it.

354
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:19.680
This chang released as a single in
nineteen eighty two. This song and

355
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:26.240
this guitar riff stand out for several
reasons. Catchy and memorable, engaging,

356
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:33.359
thought provoking lyrics, it's energetic,
it's in you know, popular, It's

357
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.319
a song that was featured on an
album. Now I'm not going to mention

358
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:40.920
the album because that would give it
away, but it was considered a landmark

359
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:48.119
release. In this discography for this
following band, I'm gonna mention the singer's

360
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:55.400
initials. Okay, the singer,
not the guitarist, because then you'd know

361
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.519
even though you're gonna know this,
but the singer of this band is initials

362
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:07.559
are b D, dynamic vocals,
a galloping rhythm and infectious melody. I

363
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:18.000
mean this song b D. I
can tell you that the combination of Adrian

364
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:23.480
Smith's dual guitar harmonies and Steve Harris's
basslines and Dave Murray an I am talking

365
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:30.799
about the One and Only Iron Maiden
with a song called Run to the Hills

366
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:38.519
from nineteen eighty two. Now,
that song is a badass song. That

367
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:42.640
song, it's crazy because it's always
touched a nerve in me. And I

368
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:48.640
think maybe that's because I come from
Native American ancestry. I'm aware of the

369
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:53.599
history and the lies and the raping
and the murders that took place to make

370
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:59.279
these great states that we do live
in some call now. But that song

371
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:04.039
is cutting edge. The guitar playing
is just wicked, intense. That song

372
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:11.119
sounds like a war going on.
The vocals are shocking. They grab you

373
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:12.960
by the throat, they grab you
by the nuts, and they also leave

374
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:18.359
that impression in your mind that that
crap actually did happen. Yeah, it's

375
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.200
interesting. It's interesting because now that
you're saying that that's what it's about.

376
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:27.960
It addresses themes of conquest, injustice, the impact of colonization, and it's

377
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:36.559
just stop provoking it. Yeah,
you know what's amazing. I thought back

378
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:38.119
in the eighties, with a lot
of these bands that were discussing, or

379
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:45.240
a lot of bands that I followed, they had a very particular political asking

380
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:52.960
for justice, bringing awareness style in
their music content. I thought there was

381
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:56.400
a lot of bands that made political
statements, and the essence of rock and

382
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:04.240
roll was magnified times five because it
went from the hippie singing and preaching about

383
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:08.279
equality and peace to where metal heads
and hard rock took it to where,

384
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:14.200
you know, we're tired of walking
around with flowers and asking nicely for the

385
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:19.880
government the establishment to play nice.
Well, guess what we're hard rockers were

386
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:22.319
metallers. We come from a time
where we don't have a lot of money,

387
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:27.599
we don't have a lot of excuses. We're seeing that time is running

388
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.319
by and crap is still the same, right, So if you're not going

389
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:34.519
to listen to us, then we're
going to scare the flicking flock out of

390
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:38.359
you with our music and the musical
content. To me, that's why I

391
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:44.000
became a metal head. It was
everything that I was born and raised to

392
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:47.920
believe in. But I took a
couple of steroids and metal. You know,

393
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:52.960
electrified a generation. That's a great
pick with two great guitar players,

394
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:59.119
and that bad is still kicking ass. That's vocal wide Bruce Dickinson. Now,

395
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:01.200
the thing about that band, many
of our listeners, I don't know

396
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:08.359
if they're aware that Maiden is also
a band that had two lead singers in

397
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:15.039
the eighties with Paul Diano who sang
on Killers, and then you had the

398
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:22.279
transition with Bruce Dickinson taking the realm
and with the number of the Beast album,

399
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.039
a great album. I still have
that in vinyl and I still love

400
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:30.599
to play it on Halloween just to
scare the crap out of people. Eddie

401
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:35.880
was an awesome character. I was
very fortunate to watch Maiden. Oh my

402
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:40.680
god, I'd say over ten over
nine times, maybe nine times. On

403
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:44.960
that note, Ladies and gentlemen,
here is the memorable hooks and powerful delivery

404
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:50.680
that have made this song an anthem
for metal fans worldwide. This is Run

405
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:54.160
to the Hills by the one and
only Iron Maiden. I'm back to the

406
00:33:54.200 --> 00:34:22.960
eighties radio. You're listening to Back
to the eighties, Ladies and gentlemen,

407
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:28.960
I'm Shadow Stevens, and you must
listen to back to the eighties radio.

408
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:32.800
It's the law. Welcome back to
back to the eighties radio. We are

409
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:37.039
banging and changing right here with Toscagow
and Chang and we had just opened up

410
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:40.400
your ears. That was some Maiden
with Run to the Hills off of the

411
00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:45.360
great album Number of the Beasts.
Also, we had something from the great

412
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:52.000
Tony Iomi with Black Sabbath fronted by
the late great rested Piece mister Ronnie James

413
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:57.079
Deal with the title track from the
great album Heaven and Hell, followed it

414
00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:01.679
up with Some You Two and Everybody's
Edge The Edge with the ever so great,

415
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:08.320
late great sorry rest in Piece mister
bb King Doscano. I think they're

416
00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:13.840
having an ear gasle. I'm sure
of it. And now I want to

417
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:20.000
change up the pace a little bit
because that's right, because I'm going to

418
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:24.559
bring you some of the bands that
were a little less heavy. I've got

419
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:32.360
a couple of guitarists that brought technical
proficiency, melodic sensibility, and just versatility.

420
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:37.280
And let me give you some of
the bands that I think that were

421
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:42.320
just phenomenal. Andy Summers from the
Police with I mean, this guy was

422
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:47.760
known for his atmospheric guitar work.
You know, he brought a blend of

423
00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:54.800
reggae rock and his pop influences to
the band and just a phenomenal, phenomenal

424
00:35:54.840 --> 00:36:00.199
guitar player. And lastly, I'm
going to bring up a guy who plays

425
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:05.159
for a band that you probably won't
like, of course, but I'm going

426
00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:09.639
to bring him up anyway, because
John Taylor from Duran Duran was recognized.

427
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:14.199
First of all, this guy was
recognized as the bassist of Duran Duran,

428
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:21.440
but his rhythm guitar work added so
much depth and flair to this band's pop

429
00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.760
rock sound that it just shot them
up to a different level. You know

430
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:30.519
what I have to tell you.
No, he was an ask guitar player.

431
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:34.800
I didn't care for Duran Duran sort
of sense. But hey, a

432
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:37.760
big shout out, A big shout
out to all the Duran Duran fans out

433
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.039
there. What's cracking all U d
and d fans. Don't worry. I'm

434
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:45.360
only hayting within my own mind.
You know, I too want to ride

435
00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:51.119
on a yacht in white van tennis
shoes with do socks, a white matching

436
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:53.960
outfit with a striped shirt with a
bunch of hot and girls all over la.

437
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:58.840
No, that is never going to
happen. That means I'm never going

438
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:05.320
to consider them great Bay. Yes, mister Taylor is a fantastic guitar player

439
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:09.400
under the radar, under the gun. He started the power station with a

440
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:15.639
late great Robert Palmer. He was
a great guitar player. His career did

441
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:21.320
carry on. He played, but
he was always under the gun under you

442
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:24.159
have a couple more you or you
want to go one for one? Let's

443
00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:29.960
do well, you know what,
I actually do have one more because Daddy.

444
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:36.519
This following guitarist, his name is
Steve Howe. Now, if you

445
00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:42.199
know Steve Howe was from a band
called Yes and Yes has a song and

446
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:46.400
Steve change what was Do you remember
what? Yes? His most popular song

447
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:50.960
or the song that got played to
death in the radio, which actually was

448
00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:57.599
just a great, great song because
that riff is phenomenal. It turns out

449
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:01.519
that Owner of a Lonely Heart is
one of their most famous songs as their

450
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:06.440
single from their album nine O one
to five. It had a catchy chorus,

451
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:10.239
I mean, and it was played
everywhere. Do you remember what was

452
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:14.559
the radio station that you first heard
this song? For me, I heard

453
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:17.800
this song for the first time when
it was released in eighty three on k

454
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:23.719
Q Wow. I heard it on
KOLs meeting, got up and smashed my

455
00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:29.840
radio onto the floor and anger and
then I went cranked on some maiden and

456
00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:32.599
of course he did. Did you
listen to George Benson, did you listen

457
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:37.199
to anything that was on the radio? Yes, I was. I was

458
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:42.360
a radio or did you hate did
you hate Radio two? No? I

459
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:47.000
just hated MTV of course, of
course he did. Now continue my young

460
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:52.159
Paddawan hater. Thank you. Now, here's a guitar player that fronted a

461
00:38:52.199 --> 00:39:00.400
few bands and I thought was phenomenal. I'm talking about Richie Blackmore, formally

462
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:04.719
of Deep Purple. And as the
story goes, this, this cat Richie

463
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:08.440
Blackmore had He was kind of an
uptight cat, so he was always bouncing

464
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:14.840
in and out of bands. And
the funny thing is he stopped Deep Purple

465
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:21.599
to start Rainbow, and three of
the players from Deep Purple were with Rainbow.

466
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:24.400
Right, but he's do a hissy
fit with Deep Purple singer Ian Gillen

467
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:30.239
because he's another cat that had attitude. And I think anybody that portrays Jesus

468
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:35.360
christ in an Andrew Lloyd Weber play
as Jesus is going to give the guitar

469
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:38.320
player of their band a hassle.
So he joined, you know, he

470
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:43.800
wasn't jamming. They called the band
Rainbow. Richie Blackmore is so badass that

471
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:45.960
he actually said, ah, I'm
done with rock and roll. I'm gonna

472
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:50.639
chill, join my money, play
for fun, marry a hot chick,

473
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:54.760
and go into folk rock. And
my plane is just as known within the

474
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:59.000
folk rock genre as it was in
the rock and roll. But thank you

475
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:04.079
very much. Another guitar player that
comes to mind. Okay, now,

476
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:07.800
don't get excited. I don't want
you to get scared. All right,

477
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:12.880
Okay, you're probably gonna mention somebody
from Pantera or or Mega Death. Oh

478
00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:15.280
no, as a matter of fact, I should, but I won't.

479
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:23.679
I'm gonna talk about a dual guitar
playing ensemble from Los Angeles, California.

480
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:30.800
Right, I'm talking about a band
from Southgate. Oh of course you are,

481
00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:38.119
missus. Chang was a friend of
of Dave Lombardo, the former drummer

482
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:44.719
of this bad of course. And
I'm talking about the great Slayer Harry King

483
00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:52.800
and Delay, Great Jeff Hanneman Slaying
bad ass, kicking cats on the string.

484
00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:55.400
Yeah, I knew it was coming. Wizardry. Yeah, dual Anger,

485
00:40:55.920 --> 00:41:00.679
get your face, getting the pit
and prove that you're somebody. I

486
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:07.559
told you you better drink holy water
and acts grind with a Chang. This

487
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:25.800
is Slayer on back. To the
Eighties Radio. This is a drink.

488
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:31.880
Listen to the decade of decadence,
Razio. Start back to the eighties,

489
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:42.880
Welcome back to Back to the eighties
Radio. Let the axes grind and get

490
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:47.280
your asses all behind. Back to
the eighties with Tisconowan chang as we discuss

491
00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:52.920
great guitar wizards, axe grinders and
masters of the fret board that danced on

492
00:41:52.960 --> 00:42:00.840
the stream that was none other than
the great metal band s John Taylor with

493
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:07.000
some like It Hot, following it
up with Yes, that was an incredible

494
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:15.239
set of music. I've got a
very very popular rock guitarist started in this

495
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:20.719
way back in the sixties, and
I'm sure he was he was probably close

496
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:24.599
to eighty years old in the nineteen
sixties. But back in nineteen eighty one,

497
00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:34.199
this guitar riff from this particular guitar
wizard who was also the main influence

498
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:39.920
for Johnny Depp playing the part of
Captain Jack Sparrow, where the lead single

499
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:46.239
from their album Tattoo You Oh,
a song that became a massive hit that's

500
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:58.159
called start Me Up. And the
guitar riffs of Keith Richards opening this song

501
00:42:58.280 --> 00:43:04.440
up. I mean it's terrized by
infectious simplicity, a rhythmic drive, and

502
00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:08.920
it just captures the essence of Richard's
distinctive style. It combined rawness and a

503
00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:15.159
timeless quality that resonates with everybody that
was It was a riff Brother that everybody

504
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:19.400
knows. Everybody in the world knows, Start me up. It's one of

505
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:22.480
the greatest guitar riffs in rock history, even in the age I agree,

506
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:27.400
and because of MTV anybody that when
you first hear that riff, you jump

507
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:30.559
out and you do that kind of
big jagger twist on stage where you look

508
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:35.239
around like you're in an alley at
dark all cooked out. You know,

509
00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:38.320
Yeah, that is a great riff. That's a great band tattoo is it.

510
00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:43.679
That's a great album, a great
album all in all. You know,

511
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:46.159
I'm just one of my favorite tracks
off that album is I'm Just Waiting

512
00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:50.559
on a Friend. When I was
growing up, I had my best buddy,

513
00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:53.559
Micah Salinas. Me and that guy
used to just like listen to everything

514
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:58.320
we're talking about. But that was
an album that me and this cat went

515
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:04.519
to Music Plus together in East LA
off of the a Zantic Boulevard. When

516
00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:07.559
that got released, both of us
went and bought our copy. We also

517
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:13.360
went to that tour a dynamic album. The Stones is royalty in rock and

518
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:15.239
roll. Well, they had to
be mentioned on the show, definitely,

519
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:20.239
and you can't believe it. I
mean, they're still filling up stadiums in

520
00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:23.559
their eighties. You know, God
is good when you could afford blood transfusions

521
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:28.400
and it goes snort and eight ball, you know, slam some the monkey

522
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:31.360
on your back and maybe drink a
couple of cases of wine, go and

523
00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:35.880
pregnate some nineteen year old chicks and
still rock and roll and bring home that

524
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:38.199
dough bro. Hey, you know
what, I've got a little something that

525
00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:42.320
I'd like to do, just to
kind of change it up a little bit.

526
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:46.440
Because back in the eighties there was
a very popular radio show that you

527
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:51.840
and me as Chang Toscano and Chang, we loved. Mark and Briant actually

528
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:55.840
had Keith Richards calling to the show
and I'd like to I'd like to play

529
00:44:55.880 --> 00:45:00.760
for you guys the exchange that happened
on this the station with Mark and Briant.

530
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:05.199
Check this out. As we mentioned
yesterday, Motley Crew lead singer Vince

531
00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:08.800
Neil recently began a three month extreme
makeover for MTV's version of The Swan.

532
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:14.760
The new Neil will be revealed on
August twenty eighth after seeing a trainer,

533
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:20.360
a plastic surgeon, and a lifestyle
counselor. Quote. It's not just for

534
00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:23.920
me, but from my career,
said Neil. MTV recently announced the next

535
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:30.119
rocker getting an extreme makeover will be
none other than Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.

536
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:38.119
On the phone to discuss this is
Keith himself, Keith good Man.

537
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:42.880
Yeah, I'm getting an extreme makeover. Can you dig it? That's what

538
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:46.119
we heard. Okay, I can't
get enough satisfaction, but I can get

539
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:50.480
some both tacks and a facelift.
So I out look black them dead.

540
00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:04.280
I mean, Vince Neil is one
fat, drunk s ob, but he

541
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.159
looks pretty damn good compared to me. Right, So I thought, if

542
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:12.760
he's getting an extreme goo, I
definitely need one of those bad boys.

543
00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:19.320
My face is so rankly, even
my crowsfeet have crow's feet and my berries

544
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:32.119
hang. So though I've got I'll
chuck him into my sock. That's not

545
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:37.480
I was taking fish hooks out of
my hair and I found out big mouth

546
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:42.280
bats attached to one of them.
And it was still alive. Well,

547
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:49.599
turns out it was feeding on the
algae in my bandanna stunk like hell.

548
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:52.679
You know, but rock and roll, what are you gonna do? I

549
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:57.599
mean, I'm so skinny, I'm
transparent, and the only thing holding my

550
00:46:57.679 --> 00:47:12.760
ribs together is this under just massive
blacks, all heroin. But my nipple

551
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:16.599
rings are rusted to my nipples and
a family of badgers have been living in

552
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:22.440
my crops for the past five years. My blood type, my blood type

553
00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:32.679
is Jack Daniels and my snot has
the consistency of Hamburgers. I've sound in

554
00:47:32.719 --> 00:47:37.639
the drugs in my system. My
pee is hot pink, and I haven't

555
00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:51.880
had a solid movement since the steel
wheels tore out of nineteen eighty nine,

556
00:47:52.519 --> 00:48:01.280
when bats fly out of my mouth
and when I fought my directivy stops picking

557
00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:15.000
up Bravo anyway. Forget about sympathy
for the devil, I have about sympathy

558
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:21.719
for my liver, my lungs,
and my immune system. The Sixtreme makeover

559
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:25.519
won't be easier though, because from
what I understand, I'm gonna have to

560
00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:32.840
eat food. My a whole trainer
is making me cut down from six packs

561
00:48:32.840 --> 00:48:37.840
of smokes a day to five and
a half. When I shoot up,

562
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:42.920
I'm gonna have to push the syringe
in myself. Man, I hate working

563
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:58.679
out, so yes, I could
use an extreme makeover. Don't get me

564
00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:02.880
wrong. I look pretty good for
my age. Oh I'm not three hundred

565
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:08.920
and ninety four years old, am
I Listen? I've gotta go. Do

566
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:15.519
you have any grave plots from the
junct role? We'll certainly find something good

567
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:21.360
talking to you. Keep on last, keep on laughing, laughing, Yeah,

568
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:32.599
try certain keep you healthy. Thank
you, Keith English Rich. Oh

569
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.639
you remember the first time you tried
these games? Space fuck? Let's practice

570
00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:43.039
cop telling, Y'alllexe when you first
try and coke and you said no,

571
00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:49.880
thank you, But let's try and
coke again because once you got that new

572
00:49:49.880 --> 00:49:52.199
wave of taste, do you want
to try it again again and again?

573
00:49:52.280 --> 00:50:00.519
No practice? Catch the wave,
Coca. You're listening to back to the

574
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:05.519
eighties. We're talking about the wizards
in the guitar world of the nineteen eighties,

575
00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:10.039
and man, you gotta love the
eighties and the guitar riffs. There

576
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:15.960
just hasn't been another another time for
music like there was back then. Chang,

577
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:22.119
I've got a band straight out of
the eighties known as Queen's Reich with

578
00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:29.079
Jeff Tait. The dynamic vocal range
of that man, you would say he

579
00:50:29.239 --> 00:50:37.960
is somewhat in the Helford Mercury Dio
type operatic range of vocals. I'm talking

580
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:43.519
about a guitar player that a lot
of people don't talk about. Actually two

581
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:50.199
of them, Mike Wilton and mister
Chris DeGarmo, from the band known as

582
00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:54.920
Queen's Reich. The very first time
I heard this band on KMET ninety four

583
00:50:54.920 --> 00:51:00.760
to seven on the Mighty Metal Hour
back in the early nineteen eighties, I

584
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:07.679
think it was eighty two, maybe
eighty three. A Queen of the Reich.

585
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:14.719
That ep was mind blowing. Operation
mind Crime came in later. That

586
00:51:14.840 --> 00:51:19.760
was a band I mean that kicked
ass. From their drums to the dual

587
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:23.079
guitar playing. They were heavy,
they were hard vocal wise, it took

588
00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:28.599
you to It took you to a
rock and roll show. No, theatrics,

589
00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:35.079
cameras weren't needed, videos weren't needed. The sheer excellence of both these

590
00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:38.639
guitar players, the vocals, the
great bass player, the bassline, the

591
00:51:38.800 --> 00:51:44.519
drums. Incredible band. I think
that is those are guys that you know

592
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:49.840
under the radar. Also, Yeah, in nineteen eighty eight they had an

593
00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:57.400
album called Mind Crime, and one
of their songs in there has become I

594
00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:00.159
want to say, one of their
signature songs. It was a high light

595
00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:02.800
of their eighties output. I mean, it's a song called Eyes of a

596
00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:10.000
Stranger. It was so incredible because
of their storytelling abilities, characterized by a

597
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:14.840
haunting melodic quality. Now, Queens
Reich is a great band. They had

598
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:19.360
four albums in the eighties. Nineteen
eighty three, I have to correct myself,

599
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:22.280
but I was close. They came
out with Queens Reich and the title

600
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:25.039
track Queen of the Reich. Also
in eighty four they came up with a

601
00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:30.480
great album, The Warning. Everything
on that told his story socially, politically

602
00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:35.159
and correct. Call it what you
want, No Karens were listening to The

603
00:52:35.239 --> 00:52:38.800
Warning. They followed up in eighty
six with Rage for Order, another great

604
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:45.239
political song, another great political album. Nineteen eighty eight they closed it out

605
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:49.960
with Jeff Kate with Operation mind Crime, which some say is a little poppy,

606
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:52.559
a little bit forced, But to
me, you know what, great

607
00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:57.679
band. I didn't have a problem
with that album. Here's another guitar player

608
00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:02.000
from a band that I got to
see and go backstage with the some of

609
00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:07.000
my buddies, Mike ev mister mad
Al. We went to go check out

610
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:13.400
this band and at this gig,
backstage we got to meet Rodney James Dio,

611
00:53:13.840 --> 00:53:20.280
Rudy Sarzo and this entire band,
and we sat there and had drinks

612
00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:27.320
and talked to them just like ordinary
guys about music, life, kids,

613
00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:32.320
the whole nine yards. Interesting night. Now I'm talking about the band named

614
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:38.440
Tesla. Tesla had two albums in
the eighties. In eighty six, they

615
00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:45.639
had mechanical Residence and great radio controversy. Now, Tesla was one of those

616
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:49.840
bands. I would think they came
out with that one track, remember and

617
00:53:49.880 --> 00:53:53.840
the sign says long haired freaky people, I need not apply. You know,

618
00:53:53.920 --> 00:53:58.440
they came up and they followed up
with a cover and that kind of

619
00:53:58.480 --> 00:54:01.840
just showed the true grit that they
had, that they could play, you

620
00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:07.800
know, down home rock and roll, similar to like the Black Crows early

621
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:13.480
Rod Stewart I'm talking about, mister
Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeech. These guys

622
00:54:13.559 --> 00:54:17.079
kicked ass. Tesla was a great
band, and you know, you're pretty

623
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:22.800
badass. When you can carry on
a whole set acoustically and still give that

624
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:28.519
power presence to your listeners sitting in
the audience, or if they put it

625
00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:30.599
on tape and sold it, Tess, I believe they did an MTV show

626
00:54:31.320 --> 00:54:36.719
and one more band I'm gonna throw
at you with I thought, great guitar

627
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:44.880
players, because I'm talking about Megadeath, born after Metallica fired their good buddy,

628
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:50.440
their pal, Yeah, mister Dave
Mustain, who in anger and balls

629
00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:53.760
and guts and alcohol fueled his own
band and formed with Chris Paul in a

630
00:54:53.920 --> 00:55:00.679
dynamic duel on the acts with heavy, aggressive, political, in your face

631
00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:07.719
intelligent metal. Megadeth, along with
Anthrax and Slayer have opened for Metallica,

632
00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:13.360
Yes they have, and I think
because of that they've always been given that

633
00:55:13.480 --> 00:55:17.400
rap there under the thumb of Metallica. Can you imagine if if Mustain would

634
00:55:17.440 --> 00:55:22.000
have stayed with Metallica, how great
and dynamic they would have been to the

635
00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:28.360
day now? Can you imagine?
Only I and you can imagine. I

636
00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:31.840
don't think Jean Simmons good. No, I don't think so either. On

637
00:55:31.960 --> 00:55:37.239
that note, let's take one last
break before we end the evening, and

638
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:40.039
I'm want to take you out personally, Chang, because now that you mentioned

639
00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:47.719
Megadeth, the American thrash metal here
is the one and only piece sells.

640
00:55:55.079 --> 00:56:00.599
Welcome back to Back to the Eighties
Radio with Tascanow and Chang on another sizzling

641
00:56:00.679 --> 00:56:06.360
sensation number two number those that was
none other than the great Megadeth with Dave

642
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:12.000
Mustain with Peace Cells. We followed
it up with The Rolling Stones with miss

643
00:56:12.320 --> 00:56:17.800
Keith Richards and that was just waiting
on a friend of that great album.

644
00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:23.400
Tattoo you to Scannell Chang. I
want you to go first because I want

645
00:56:23.440 --> 00:56:31.559
to be the one that closes the
evening very mellow, yet melodic and memorable.

646
00:56:32.199 --> 00:56:37.199
Because I'm gonna give you a band
that you're not ready for. And

647
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:40.559
no it's not the cure. So
who is your last band? Oh and

648
00:56:40.880 --> 00:56:45.320
just a reminder for everybody listening,
you can send us a note here at

649
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:50.480
Back to the Eighties Radio. Oh
and there is one thing, Chang that

650
00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:55.079
I'm just gonna let everybody know right
now. Stay tuned. I want everybody

651
00:56:55.079 --> 00:56:59.280
to stay tuned. I know you
listened to us from all over the world.

652
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:01.719
And on that note, I want
to give a very special shout out

653
00:57:01.719 --> 00:57:07.760
to everybody listening to us, from
the UK, from Germany, from Australia,

654
00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:14.239
from Brazil, from everybody in South
America, from Mexico. A special

655
00:57:14.239 --> 00:57:19.719
shout out for everybody listening in Canada
as well, every country in Europe,

656
00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:22.840
the Middle East, just everywhere,
up and down the equator. I mean,

657
00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:28.000
thank you, thank you for making
back to the Eighties radio though popular.

658
00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:30.480
Let me put it too this way. You guys know that we have

659
00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:35.280
a station called k HITS ninety two
point five. We want to let you

660
00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:38.079
know that we are going to be
changing the name of the station to Back

661
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:45.000
to the Eighties Radio. Is going
to be a network, a network of

662
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:50.119
shows, a network of jocks that
reflect the eighties, just like it was

663
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:52.679
when you used to listen to radio
back in the nineteen eighties. And the

664
00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:58.239
station officially will be called Back to
the Eighties Radio. I don't think I've

665
00:57:58.239 --> 00:58:00.920
done this many many times, but
I want to give a very big thank

666
00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:07.920
you to one person in particular.
He is my greatest friend in radio and

667
00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:14.719
personally. And I just want to
thank you, Chang, because because this

668
00:58:14.920 --> 00:58:19.880
is you are a hating bastard,
but and I got to think this man,

669
00:58:20.039 --> 00:58:25.639
right, here the Chang because it
is his energy, it is his

670
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:30.880
motivation. And sometimes you guys don't
know that. Both Chang and I have

671
00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:36.079
gone through in our personal life and
we both bring each other up when needed,

672
00:58:36.840 --> 00:58:42.440
and it is just something that isn't
rare, that is rarely found.

673
00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:45.800
And when you have a friend like
this and so Chang, I gotta thank

674
00:58:45.840 --> 00:58:49.199
you. I take my hat off
to you or in this case, my

675
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:53.000
beanie, but I want to thank
you Chang for being my brother in the

676
00:58:53.199 --> 00:59:00.119
radio business. Everybody Chang is just
more than a care He's bigger than life.

677
00:59:00.159 --> 00:59:02.559
And they just gotta thank you,
my brother, Thank you, my

678
00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:06.239
brother. Man. Those words are
heavy, bro. They fall upon my

679
00:59:06.280 --> 00:59:09.840
heart, they follow upon my soul. I feel everything that you mentioned for

680
00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:15.360
you. You know, before we
came up with this show, me and

681
00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:17.239
this cat had been through the Ringer. We've been working together since we got

682
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:22.400
out of radio school. AARB gave
us our start, gave us our way,

683
00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:28.559
and we will forever ever be in
the greatest thanks to a ARB for

684
00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:34.880
creating this friendship, this team,
this dynamic duel that hopefully you're enjoying.

685
00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:39.000
Hopefully we bring to you what we
bring to each other. Joy a little

686
00:59:39.039 --> 00:59:43.400
bit of relief from the daily hell. We give you a little bit of

687
00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:45.480
vigor. We give you a little
bit of shot in the ass to get

688
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:51.320
up and wake up and no matter
how bad things are, to pick up

689
00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:55.000
and carry on because somebody is watching. And that person that may be watching

690
00:59:55.119 --> 00:59:59.880
is somebody that is going to look
at you and your struggle as a men.

691
01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:02.679
Tour Disconnell, that's what you are
to me. Boys and girls,

692
01:00:02.719 --> 01:00:07.159
that's exactly what you are to me
for tuning in, listening, hitting us

693
01:00:07.159 --> 01:00:13.519
on our social media, and anybody
that I've ever had the privilege and blessing

694
01:00:13.639 --> 01:00:17.639
in my life to share time with, or when I was doing stand up,

695
01:00:17.679 --> 01:00:23.000
anybody I made lap. That has
been my entire reason for me being

696
01:00:23.119 --> 01:00:28.400
me. I believe that for every
laugh that me and this cat bring,

697
01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:34.159
the Lord is going to cast a
feather in our suit of Heaven's wings to

698
01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:38.000
fly the hell out of here when
our mission is done here. You asked

699
01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:43.679
me earlier what other forms of music
did I listen to? Because everybody believes,

700
01:00:43.679 --> 01:00:45.360
oh, he's just a medal head. Yeah, well I I am.

701
01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:50.519
But here's an individual that I was
blessed to listen to growing up and

702
01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:54.440
I went to go see at this
particular concert that I'm going to play this

703
01:00:54.599 --> 01:01:00.880
artist from with my mom. I'm
talking about the great blues jazz guitar player,

704
01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:04.760
mister George Benson. I could listen
to George Benson cry, laugh,

705
01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:08.159
grooven vibe. I could sit there
with a glass of wine and I wasn't

706
01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:13.280
even an altar boy. George Benson, to me, takes it home.

707
01:01:14.559 --> 01:01:17.960
This one particular night we went to
go see when they recorded the Weekend in

708
01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:23.280
La Live album. So to me, that's one of the greatest shows I've

709
01:01:23.280 --> 01:01:30.039
ever been been too. And I
was just carried away by his guitar playing

710
01:01:30.440 --> 01:01:35.719
the way he moved the crowd.
I had not seen anything like that after

711
01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:38.559
until I saw Stevie ray Vaughan,
which we discussed on last week's show.

712
01:01:39.039 --> 01:01:43.840
Who could captivate, you know,
with those fingers and then move an entire

713
01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:49.119
audience from their soul to their toes. George Benson to me, was in

714
01:01:49.719 --> 01:01:54.000
Redham. That's my last favorite guitar
player for show number two and brother and

715
01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:58.480
to close out the evening now,
I'm going to close it out with Roland

716
01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:07.239
or the Ball Orzabal. Roland Orzabal
is maybe a name that you don't recognize,

717
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:10.840
but when I tell you that in
nineteen eighty five, in nineteen eighty

718
01:02:10.840 --> 01:02:15.320
five, sounds like a guy that
did bodywork. Tuck okay, Well.

719
01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:22.280
In nineteen nineteen eighty five, they
this band released a single from their album

720
01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:28.639
Songs from the Big Chair. Now
you're wondering what song is this. It's

721
01:02:28.679 --> 01:02:32.840
a song that today it resonates in
a lot of people's hearts, and if

722
01:02:32.880 --> 01:02:37.320
you only listen to the lyrics,
it expresses a reflection on the state of

723
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:42.519
this world. It questions why so
many people are driven by the ambition to

724
01:02:42.599 --> 01:02:50.480
dominate and rule over others. I'm
talking about the band and the guitarist of

725
01:02:50.559 --> 01:02:55.480
Tears for Fears, and the song
is Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

726
01:02:55.639 --> 01:03:07.199
Come Back to the Eighties Radio.
We're gonna be right back. Welcome back

727
01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:09.639
to Back to the Eighties Radio hosted
by Yours truly, Toscano and Chang.

728
01:03:09.880 --> 01:03:14.639
You heard Tears for Fears with Everybody
wants to Rule the world, and that

729
01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:17.920
is as true today as it was
the day that guy. Those guys wrote

730
01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:22.719
that great song. We took the
evening on a tour, on an event,

731
01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:28.400
and on a path and we finished
up our musical set with none other

732
01:03:28.440 --> 01:03:37.239
than George Benson, and we went
to Broadway with On Broadway from the album

733
01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:43.840
George Benson's Weekend in La. You
have been listening to Taskanno and chang right

734
01:03:43.880 --> 01:03:46.239
here at Back to the Eighties Radio. I'm gonna say good night and hand

735
01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:51.440
it over to my partner in crime, Toscano. So everybody out there remained

736
01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:54.400
to be chantastic, and before we
release you to another chang rific week,

737
01:03:54.760 --> 01:04:00.199
remember to stay you, stand up
for yourselves, have no fear. There

738
01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:04.440
is nothing out there that you cannot
do standing for somebody else. Always spread

739
01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:10.519
the love, share the show,
interact with us, make yourself part of

740
01:04:10.559 --> 01:04:13.679
the show, because that's how we
grow. I bid you in the Looha
