00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:11.160
Oh night, all you baseball pads
out there, if you're just joined us,
2
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.920
this is Ted Henderson call of the
game today. We're a beautiful southern
3
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:23.960
California here at Chadez Relieve, while
stage is California over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
4
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:30.960
We're watching the United States play Japan. Today is the eighty four Olympics.
5
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.359
The beautiful day Chris eighty four.
The sun is out and just like
6
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:40.560
the sun beat out, I've got
everybody's favorite sun. He shines and he's
7
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:46.119
sitting right next to me. Everybody
gave a warm welcome by co commentator Chip
8
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.960
Hagar, Chip holl the hell are
you doing? But is a child has
9
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:56.560
been beautiful? Oh it's it's just
Chris Bay Clear, just like a brand
10
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:00.399
new Huggies diaper. I mean,
it is just fabulous day here, and
11
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.319
what a fabulous way to spend the
day here the nineteen eighty four Olympics.
12
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:10.159
That watching baseball be next to the
greatest narrator of all sports of all time.
13
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.040
Well, thank you very much.
I often say that of myself when
14
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.079
I'm look into the mirror. My
wife's always tell me you're so fully yourself,
15
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.879
And I said, hey, that's
a three two call. You're looking
16
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.040
at a couple of Swedens coming and
everybody out there. We got Hendrix on
17
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.480
the plate. He's looking at a
kind two and one. We are at
18
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.560
the bottom of the first By the
way, what are you What are you
19
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.120
sipping there? What are you smoking
there? It looks pretty tasty. Oh,
20
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.760
I'm smoking a Cuban and I've got
a little bit of the hoochie in
21
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.640
there. I thought one better way
to go down to Los Angeles and enjoy
22
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:49.760
a beautiful day at the ballpark Chilas
Ravine, home of the Los Angeles Dodgers,
23
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.200
and smoke a little hoochie. Called
the game. Hendrix comes up with
24
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.799
a three two at the full count. We got batters on second base.
25
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.040
We're over here looking at the skipper. Oh, we're gonna call a box.
26
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.959
That's gonna put Hendricks right back up. So right now in the US,
27
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.039
they've got a runner on second and
a runner on first. They got
28
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.439
one our play the way that that
ball as he came back to the pitcher
29
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.719
slipped the picture's head. It almost
hit the mascot there. No, there
30
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.599
shouldn't really be any mascots. I
mean, this is a game today.
31
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.280
That's representing all of us, a
unity either where nobody should single themselves up
32
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.719
with a ridiculous mascot. I mean, I don't even know what that is.
33
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.120
Chip, I don't know if that's
an elephant to play the Saxo plot.
34
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:37.039
I have no idea. Dawson's batting
a slim two eighty one and he's
35
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:42.240
Oh Dawson is swung and he's hit. Chip, Dawson is down. He
36
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.759
was struck by a wild pitch.
I think that was maybe two under twelve
37
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.479
miles an hour. It looked like
it from here. I don't know.
38
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:53.159
Well, you know, everything is
fast and japad and one of those fast
39
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.919
things is their pitches. You know. That's why we're buying somebody of their
40
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.439
pictures. But anyway, Yeah,
he's down for the count I've been.
41
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.319
I haven't seen anybody that down since
your bachelor party with me and you did
42
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.159
a little couple of gaggers. We
are drinking that rump straight up in the
43
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.319
We woke up with lipstick written across
our heads. I had the d I
44
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.479
you had the ck on you.
I don't know what that. Oh,
45
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:21.000
why don't you go ahead and h
take us back to the eighties and call
46
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.039
us next bat or Hashido Cabuto.
Why don't you give the stats out Hashido
47
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:31.120
and now betting number twelve for Japan
Shiito Cashido? Is that what you said?
48
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:37.479
No, his name was Ishido Camito. Sorry, number twelve Hashido Camino
49
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:43.439
or Cabuto either way, betting for
Japan against the US of A. This
50
00:03:43.560 --> 00:04:00.000
is nineteen eighty four Olympics and we're
going back to the eighties. Save me

62
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.240
the world. Last week we had
Mike Davis from Lucy Borden Halford and Drama
63
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.839
Rama. We had Shannon the shan
Man Hernandez of ninety eight KUPD Phoenix on

the show, so if you missed
it, you could always catch the show
65
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:26.240
again on any of the podcast platforms. Now as he is every single week
66
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:31.240
with me is a man that has
used over a thousand names to collect more
67
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.680
Columbia House cassettes and is the main
reason they ran out of music and out
68
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:45.680
of business. He's been secretly He's
been secretly seen at eighties festivals collecting wham
69
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:51.439
pins, wearing baby blue leg warmers
and a tight shirt that says father figure
70
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:59.240
Street Daddy Daddy. We here at
back to the eighties who call him the
71
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:05.079
chain. How the heck are you
my friend? Oh, I'm okay,
72
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:14.040
I'm real swell, what the hell? Let's ring the bell, Let's write
73
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.160
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and kiddies, eighties, ladies,
74
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:26.800
dudes and dudets of an aragon by. You are about to witness stupidity
75
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.000
at its finest sets right, and
who better to give you that stupidity,
76
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.920
but myself the legend in my own
mind and everybody's favorite to tell you,
77
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:42.560
besides chef Boyardie Tusky, Tiscano,
now Tiscano. Tonight we are going to
78
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:53.560
go Imano, Imano, head to
head, hair against hair Balls against Akwanet
79
00:06:53.600 --> 00:07:00.279
and spandex. So Tiscano, I
want to ask you, now, did
80
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.000
you go to church and drink some
holy water? Because I'm going to bring
81
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:08.199
up some bands that are going to
scare the crap out of you. They
82
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.079
probably will, and I'm going to
be ready for it. But before we
83
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.040
get into the show, I want
to take a couple of moments to address
84
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.399
something that occurred this past week.
On our Facebook page. We said a
85
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:25.040
mean with Freddie Freddie Mercury's picture and
a quote. If you said it or
86
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.240
not, that's not the issue here. But let me read you what the
87
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.600
quote reads. Quote. We are
in a golden age of music. There
88
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:38.000
will be a time when technology becomes
so advanced that we'll rely on them to
89
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:44.480
make music rather than raw talent.
Music will lose its soul end quote.
90
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.800
What happened? We've gotten over one
hundred and four thousand people reacting to it.
91
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.199
Almost eight thousand comments on this and
out of those eight thousand comments,
92
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:59.279
we have had maybe a hundred comments
of people that just misunderstood the quote,
93
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.360
thinking that this quote said what it
did not say. First of all,
94
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.439
the post is not saying there wasn't
going to be any good music in the
95
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.720
future. It doesn't say that technology
was going to make music on its own,
96
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.399
and it doesn't say that there aren't
going to be any more talented musicians.
97
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.079
It doesn't say that people can't make
music with technology. And also the
98
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.879
argument that a lot of people said
on this post that oh, all parents
99
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.600
said the same thing about their music, and in the eighties, the old
100
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.439
people said the same thing about music
back then. Look, parents are always
101
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:31.720
going to have issues with some of
the music that their kids listen to,
102
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.919
all right, it's always going to
be. But you can't compare music that
103
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.360
was new to the scene, music
that changed generations to come because it was
104
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.639
the first time we had ever heard
that, unlike today where most music mainstream
105
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.080
or not isn't really new. Now. Once again, not all are there
106
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:58.320
better musicians today? Well, some
yes, some know. It's like saying
107
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.480
that we have better and more talented
painters or artists than we did with Van
108
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.120
Gogh, Rembrandt, Picasso, Monet. You get the point. Just because
109
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.600
we have better tech and some can
play an instrument better doesn't mean that they're
110
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.960
going to make art in music that
will change generations as it did when we
111
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.159
grew up in the eighties. I
mean, we had influences from the fifties,
112
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.480
from the sixties and seventies, and
those decades helped to form and in
113
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:30.360
some sense alter music and shape it
for the future generations. But I do
114
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.519
want to clarify one thing. There
is no better music. There is just
115
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.399
music that you like in music that
you don't. That's it. A lot
116
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.080
of people thought, oh my gosh, he's he's saying that all of the
117
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.840
music today sucks. Never said that. Obviously, there are great artists today
118
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.080
in all genres of music, but
this meme that was posted isn't referring to
119
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:56.320
them. It refers to a generation
of so called artists that are only in
120
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.440
the business to make money without caring
what they play. Seeing right, for
121
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.440
the masses, it's a matter if
you follow what protects the integrity of the
122
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.960
art or if you just don't care. And that, my friends, is
123
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.080
all this is back to the eighties. We're gonna be right back. That
124
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:18.320
was a long space. Nay,
my pals, Toscano and Chang went to
125
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.360
school in the eighties and that was
cool. But now they're going back.
126
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:31.039
That's right, and you can tag
along with back to the eighties radio.
127
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:41.200
Just say, did not go away, didn't live inside the hun We never
128
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.480
be as if he's a lot of
change, you don't have to be the
129
00:10:45.600 --> 00:11:00.320
same. Now you're a strangers.
If someone else, I'm not saying the
130
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:05.960
song of mine and now things clear, saying no, I don't remember when
131
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.879
I pass you back again? You
can't. Don't you far to show his
132
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:30.559
leading love alone, I'm leading love
love alone. Last night you took with
133
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.360
so you can say listen, I
can see it. I don't want you
134
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:41.480
to see what you got to make
you do want You don't meet yourself?
135
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:20.200
Leading alone, leading you say you
never go away, living side my heart,
136
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.559
we never be a mine. It
seems a lot scape. You'll never
137
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:41.159
be the same. Now you're the
stranger someone leading, leading, lead,
138
00:12:48.519 --> 00:13:05.080
leading, leading, my mind leading. If you can't wear a spandex jumpsuit,
139
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:16.159
what can you do? John Sells
with Leaving Love Alone nineteen eighty eight.
140
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.440
This was a band out of Boulder
featuring John Newlyn on guitar, vocals
141
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.320
or John Sells, Andy Herman's on
bass, Kelly Clear on drums, and
142
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:31.639
Warren Writer on keyboards. Back in
nineteen seventy nine, the group focused mostly
143
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:37.519
on recording instead of live performances.
The studio in Boulder called North Star Studios.
144
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:43.000
While still in construction, they allowed
Cells to come in during non construction
145
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.720
hours laid down some tracks, including
two of their songs that became the band's
146
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.440
debut forty five album, and it
was a red record. I don't know
147
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.679
if you've seen this, but it's
a red record. You could catch it
148
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.519
on our Facebook page and the songs
were Oh and Terminal thighs Now. The
149
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.080
Red forty five vinyl proved to be
one of the most collectible and popular records
150
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:09.879
from Colorado in the late seventies.
But unfortunately, unfortunately John passed away nineteen
151
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.879
ninety four. But brother, his
music is gonna keep on living on.
152
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.679
If you like what you heard,
you can catch music by John Sells by
153
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:24.159

154
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.759
Lowe dot com. I Want to
give a big thanks and a shout out
155
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.879
to Katherine Levine, who is the
creative director over there. We're gonna have
156
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.919
John Cell's music information on our Facebook
page as soon as you listen to the
157
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.240
show. So I want to welcome
you back back to the eighties radio.
158
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:46.440
Today, we're making our second stop
at Metal Rock Island, and before we
159
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.480
do that, I want to give
a special shout out to some of our
160
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:56.799
biggest listeners in Australia, Germany,
the UK, Japan and Argentina. Did
161
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:01.039
you know I just found out Chang
that we are in thirty third place out
162
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.919
of all podcasts listen to in the
country of Argentina. Can you believe that?
163
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:11.240
Now? That makes me think of
one thing man, the power and
164
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.960
the unity that radio brings, whether
it's music, conversation or humor. That's
165
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.600
very humbling. I want to thank
everybody out there, everybody out there,
166
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:26.600
even in back home in our states, in Mexico and Spain and Italy,
167
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:30.480
a big shout out, in a
big thank you at about to all of
168
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:35.720
you. It's very humbling to know
that technology has taken us to this point
169
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:41.879
to where it's grown from terrestrial radio. The other thing that's very empowering about
170
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.080
all. This is the topic we're
discussing, hard rock metal. So many
171
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:52.799
countries have their own style of metal
with their own language, you know,
172
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.799
which is in the vocals. I'm
talking bands is like nowadays, like Ramstein.
173
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.919
Back in the day we had the
Scorpions from Germany and you know what,
174
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.679
Tascano, Not only do we want
to say thank you, we want
175
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.960
to tell them all if you like
what you hear and you're eager to listen,
176
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.120
what we're going to give you music
wise in the eighties realm of music.
177
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.679
At the end of the day,
you need something that's going to take
178
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:21.639
your mind away from whatever stress and
strange you, whatever was hectic or busy.
179
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:25.320
You know, we want to give
you radio when you most need it.
180
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:27.159
Some of you guys out there are
parents. You know you can hard
181
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:32.080
await to your kids or in bed, but nowadays with a COVID, a
182
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:33.440
lot of schools aren't in there.
So you've got to get away from the
183
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.639
stress. You know, you're driving
home from work, you got to deal
184
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.039
with some jackass on the subway or
on the bus. You need something that's
185
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.840
going to take you out of that
realm. So hopefully we're doing that.
186
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.440
All you got to do is share
us, tell a friend, tell a
187
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:55.039
couple of friends. You know,
the more the merrier. Tonight we're gonna
188
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:59.399
get heavy. D Are you ready
to take it on? I am ready.
189
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:00.679
I remember last week you asked me, are we going to talk about
190
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:07.240
glam metal and continue the conversation?
And of course, because you know,
191
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.519
the hair or glam metal bands of
the eighties still remain one of the true
192
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:15.079
guilty pleasures in history of music.
You know it was. It was the
193
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:21.960
hairspray, the makeup catchy pop tunes
of back in the day touched up with
194
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:27.240
distortion. I mean it made for
some serious music television. Let me sum
195
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:33.960
it up like this, My partner
in crime in nineteen eighty the sound and
196
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:42.960
vibration of then called metal music.
It was it gave us an empowerment of
197
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:49.119
us us that turned to this music
a soundtrack to a lifestyle we lived.
198
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:56.519
It was a very emotional feeling.
Metal music is very it's empowering. It's
199
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:02.559
kind of a badge of defiance.
Unifies many different people of all walks of
200
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.039
life to where we're not angry with
each other. We're just happy to be
201
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.559
there and enjoy what we're about to
take in. You know, a lot
202
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:15.680
of people think hard rockers and medallers
people that look like me are children of
203
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.799
the devil. We are not.
We may not prayer at the same church
204
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.480
as you as others, or go
to church, but we have a very
205
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:30.960
spiritual guiding. The sound of metal
got louder from its involvement in the seventies.
206
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.480
It got faster, They had more
flair, they played with more dominance.
207
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.400
It brought out more groups that emulated
some of the great bands that we
208
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:44.920
discussed, like the Thin Lizzies,
the Deep Purple's, the Rainbows. It
209
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:51.000
evolved from the Black Sabbath. I'm
going to serve on this metal tennis court,
210
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:56.000
okay, And I'm going to serve
you up a couple of hardcore rock
211
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:03.920
and roll bands from my personal liking
in the eighties. Are you ready to
212
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.759
go? Okay? So this is
gonna be kind of like a tennis match,
213
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:08.920
then, yes, kind of like
a tennis match. I'm going to
214
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:33.680
serve you an Iron Maiden. Iron
Maiden out of the UK, a great
215
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:40.279
heavy metal band. My brother solid
two guitar playing band, a bass player
216
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.640
Stevie Harris that could play like a
like he was slinging an act like he
217
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.119
was a lead guitar player. They
had two singers, Paul Diano in the
218
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.279
early eighties, and then they had
Bruce Dickinson. When Dickinson joined the band,
219
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:59.039
they seemed to become kind of an
arson set wildfire. There was no
220
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:06.759
bounds for them. The vocal range
went note for note with the riffs and
221
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.079
the speed that Iron Maiden brought out. Now, Iron Maiden and Judas Priests
222
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:17.440
both powerhouse, duel guitar playing bands, which I think gave birth to bands
223
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:22.839
like Megadeath, Metallica. I got
to go out with a band called Saxon.
224
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:29.319
You know great bands that the more
instrument the better the music. It's
225
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:32.599
only fair to mention that there are
certain other bands that, even though they're
226
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:37.240
classified in a way, a lot
of people classify them as hair metal and
227
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.400
glam metal. I don't want to
put them in that same category because they
228
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.960
were bands before the eighties, so
I want to leave them kind of out.
229
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.519
For example, like def Leopard Kiss, even Scorpions or White Snake I
230
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:53.000
mean, yeah, and Tesla,
even though they're not considered glam or hair
231
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.839
metal in many ways. However,
you can do that. I do want
232
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:02.119
to put Motley Crue because Motley Crew
was kind of like the Madonna of the
233
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:06.839
hair and Glenn metal scene. Correct, they were always consistently, they were
234
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:12.640
consistently reinventing their look from leather clad
New York dolls, wannabees, you know
235
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.000
in a way, Saintan worshippers,
and Away with their with their Yeah,
236
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.240
with their Shout at the Devil,
hair rockers with Theater of Page nineteen eighty
237
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.720
five, and of course bikers with
their girls, girls girls from nineteen eighty
238
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.799
seven. Now the Crew, you
know, they were all about stage presents,
239
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.640
you know, and they took it, they took it all to you
240
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:41.240
know, to the max level while
becoming one of the biggest bands in the
241
00:21:41.279 --> 00:22:11.480
world. Check this out. This
one's called City Boy Blues. Now,
242
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.480
Dscano, you mentioned some some good
bands and you you you mentioned something very
243
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:21.119
important. A couple of bands that
you mentioned kind of go flip flop.
244
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:26.240
Some of them you could consider they
did touch base with the glam look and
245
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.440
the GLAMs sound, such as def
Leppard. Now, def Leppard did go
246
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:37.519
glam from their first two albums that
they they made. Also, I'd say
247
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.960
the Scorpions went a little bit love
rock glam after, of course, their
248
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:47.559
very first hit, Virgin Killers,
which had the brothers Shanker, Rudolph and
249
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:51.720
Michael in the band at the same
time. Michael later left the Scorpions to
250
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:56.000
create his own band MSG and then
also had a stint. I believe in
251
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:02.759
UFO and the other band is de
Leopard. Now that band, you have
252
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.240
to give them a lot of credit. I think they're a lot more melodic.
253
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.400
Me it's kind of more wimpy rock. But you know, I knew
254
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.640
it. I knew. I mean, but the drummer went out and he
255
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.039
lost his arm, and then he
still has a gig playing the drum.
256
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.279
Now now I'm not knocking the guy. More power to you, brother,
257
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.599
but how can you consider yourself a
metal band? Where metal has pounding drums,
258
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:37.119
double bass rolls, pounding thrusts,
heavy duty rolls, a mixture of
259
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:42.400
of tin and hard hat and slamming
thunder with one arm, you're going to
260
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:49.920
have to go synthesize. So synthesize
and metal means weaker metal like wa So
261
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.359
you are trying to tell me,
said you are trying to tell me,
262
00:23:53.680 --> 00:24:03.559
I'll say that def Leopards drummer cannot
perform real heavy metal. Yes, you
263
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.119
know what, I'm gonna tell you
this right now. Now you put you
264
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:15.279
put the drummer of def Leppard in
a room against Dave Lombardo of Slayer,
265
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:22.559
and you know what, It's like
a pit bull in a bag with two
266
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:30.759
cats because some ass. Well,
of course you gotta give him credit.
267
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.920
You can't just go on and say
he sucks. He wouldn't be able to
268
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:38.960
handle it. Hey, hey,
hey, don't put words in my mouth.
269
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:45.119
I've got to hand it to the
guy playing in a band with one.
270
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:52.720
But I'm saying the band had to
get weaker so that he could keep
271
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.440
up. Right, But that band
was already on the way to being weaker
272
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:03.240
right just like now now. Motley
Crue another great band of lay. Their
273
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:08.319
first album and their first EP,
Get Your Gun, was a great ep.
274
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:15.279
Their first album was Live Wire,
sensational, pounding, thrashing, la
275
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:19.599
in your face, pull a switch
blade out, have a bottle of whiskey,
276
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:23.440
kick your ass, hard rock.
Then they came out with Shout at
277
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.960
the Devil. You know, they
got a little famous, Uh, they
278
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:32.039
got a little crazy, little careless. That album to me didn't really sound
279
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:34.279
like they put all their all into
it, but they had the heart and
280
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.680
soul of being metal. But then
again, you know, they found dang,
281
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:42.559
they rolled the dice and then uh, you know, Vince Neil had
282
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:48.720
that tragic accident where he should have
went in jail and you know, been
283
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:53.640
somebody's cellmate, but it didn't happen. And then the band trans transcended into
284
00:25:53.680 --> 00:26:03.079
the style that they became weak.
Oh that gets a chambo. Oh my
285
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:08.720
gosh. All right, I think
it's your serve. Okay, my serve.
286
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:15.599
Are you ready? Now Here is
a legend who created his own band,
287
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:22.720
with having fame with such bands as
Elf with are you ready for this
288
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.519
one? Rainbow is Stinch and Rainbow. Of course, he took over the
289
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:33.240
rains of Black Sabbath when Ozzie was
asked to leave the band due to substance
290
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.480
intake. Ronnie James Deal, the
late Great Ronney James Deal, I was
291
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.039
very blessed and forged to meet him
at one point in my life. Had
292
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.960
a great conversation the guy created Deal
and I mean he just blew the doors
293
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.480
off of people. Metal wise,
the lyrics you could say were a bit
294
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:56.240
cryptic, maybe devil worshiping. Uh
you know, but meeting deal his his
295
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:03.960
writing style and his uh songs of
stories that he wrote about were all mythical,
296
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:08.799
all of belief, you know,
kind of putting a counterspin on people
297
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:15.799
to see what's really behind something people
don't understand. Okay, so here's another
298
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.000
band I'm going to toss that you. Are you ready for this? I'm
299
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.599
ready? Armored Saint? Who could
forget the legendary band out of Pasadena,
300
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:27.960
Alserino, Armored Saint. There's a
great band right there, brother March of
301
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:34.079
the Saints. Now there's a band. It's not going to put another band
302
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:40.880
that I have to bring up Queen's
Reich reminiscent vocal style of Rob Helfort,
303
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:45.839
Freddie Mercury, operrettic kind of vocals. But there is a band that kind
304
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:52.920
of touched the bounds of obscurity and
maybe a couple of songs sounded a little
305
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:59.119
bit hair but not really. They
always seemed to stay theatrical. Uh you
306
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:07.200
okay? Is it my journey in
or I threw I threw three bands at
307
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.079
you. Dakin was breaking the chains. Dakin probably should have been a bigger
308
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:15.200
band with their hair metal genre that
it was mainly because guitarist George Lynch and
309
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:21.559
bassist Jeff Pilson are Actually they're real
good musicians. And now the band was
310
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.960
even nominated for for the Grammy of
Best Metal Performance in nineteen eighty nine.
311
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:32.799
Now, Lynch doesn't even necessarily consider
Dakin a full blown hair or glam metal
312
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:38.599
band, but he certainly had uh
the benefits to fit in, and frontman
313
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:45.279
Don Dawkins still takes his version of
the group on the road plane hits like
314
00:28:45.000 --> 00:29:15.839
alone again and to those interested in
listening, here's breaking the chains. I
315
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:19.400
would like to break him with Jane. I used to call that guy Don
316
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:25.039
Donkey because he's just a jackass.
I see what I see that guy at
317
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:29.160
the Rainbow one time, man,
and I thought he was a woman's beautician.
318
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:32.400
He had a scarf around his head. And you know, I wear
319
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.400
headbands. I rock headbands like you
know, I'm straight out. I'm straight
320
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:37.839
out of the body. So you
know I even iron my headbands, bro.
321
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.799
But I'm not. I'm not.
I'm not playing headbands like h Stephen,
322
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:48.880
Steven Tyler or Don Donkey. You
know, but I thought George Lynch
323
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.480
was way more talented than that band
could ever create. I don't think Don
324
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:57.839
Donkey had the vocal range to every
to ever carry that band farther than he
325
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:03.119
did, a lot like Warrant,
which I'm sure you're gonna hit me with.
326
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:06.680
You know. The only good thing
about the only good thing about Warrant
327
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:10.640
was that hot blonde in their video
there I said, I just tallied and
328
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.480
hit it right back at you.
Slam you did, And you know what,
329
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.160
I'm going to hit it right back
at you because because skid row with
330
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.200
eighteen in Life Now, although a
lot of people are gonna question, why
331
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:26.759
are you including them marks, why
are you including them in this list of
332
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.599
your guys? Because the band was, believe it or not, more hair
333
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.200
than glam and actually featured pretty good
musicians as well, and it had one
334
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:38.799
of the best wide ranging voices in
all of metal with Sebastian Bach, at
335
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:44.920
least during his you Know the Heyday
Now skid Rowe Too Bad. He turned
336
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:49.000
it into a raging alcoholic idiot skid
Rowe Broke Through with it self titled nineteen
337
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:56.240
eighty nine debut that made them MTV
staples thanks to Youth Gun Wild, eighteen
338
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:02.799
in Life and a widely popular Wow
what was that somebody sneezed in the background?
339
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:37.599
Who is that is that I'm still
loving Because somebody sneezed in the background.
340
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:41.920
I was like, what the heck
is that? Man? You know
341
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.960
what's funny? Man? You play
this band? And I remember I uh
342
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.880
seen him at the Rainbow and he
was a sebastian back was a pompous ass,
343
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.119
you know. Oh he was like
a pretty boy want to be tough,
344
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:00.319
you know what I mean? Uh, I didn't talk to him.
345
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:04.839
I had no altar cash with him. This is is this why why real
346
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.799
metal heads call hair bands, you
know, opposers and stuff like that.
347
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:13.519
Uh, let's see. Uh,
I hope there's no kids listening right now.
348
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:20.000
We call them Woosi's kitty cats.
Pretty boys want to be chicks.
349
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:22.039
Needless to say, you guys had
something against them, and I don't get
350
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:29.200
why, to be honest, because
they actually had some really really good music
351
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:32.599
in my opinion, because i'd see, I love all genres of music.
352
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:37.720
I'm a all kinds of music lover, and the only stuff, you know,
353
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:42.400
the only stuff that I hate is
pretty much the B fifty twos.
354
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.079
Aside from that, I still want
to recognize that they do have music,
355
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:49.839
right Their music is music. But
anyway, it's on your court, my
356
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.759
friends. Okay, Now I am
going to tally up with you. Here's
357
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.960
a band that scared the hell out
of poly guys like you. Slayer,
358
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:23.359
Yes, yes, they did.
Slayer came out of a Southgate Paramount area
359
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:29.200
in southern California. You know what
I mean now, miss it? Missus
360
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:35.119
Chang uh used to go check these
guys out when they formed Slayer when they
361
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:37.440
were in other bands. As a
matter of fact, uh my, my
362
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:45.200
missus Chang was good friends with Dave
Lombardo, the former drummer of Slayer's girlfriend,
363
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:49.680
so she got to see these bands
this, these guys play at the
364
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:52.279
Battle of the Bands. I got
to check these guys play at the l
365
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:57.720
a street scene, which I did
fancy going to during the that era in
366
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:00.920
the eighties when they had live music
playing there. And I'm gonna go ahead
367
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:05.519
and tell you up with Slayer,
and then I'm gonna hit you with another
368
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.599
band. Are you ready for this
band? I don't even think you've ever
369
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:15.840
even heard of this band? Probably
not? Okay, except no, I
370
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.280
had no, I don't think so. I may have heard their music,
371
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:22.559
but not the name of the band. Now except how to sound a little
372
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:28.519
bit heavier, less blues like than
a CDC, but Udo had a voice
373
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:32.719
that was similar between both lead singers
of ac DC. That was a good
374
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:36.639
band. Udo was no longer in
that band, but they're still jamming.
375
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:39.280
Here's another band. Yeah, I
wouldn't be in that band either. No,
376
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.800
No, those guys would have scared
you. I think you would have
377
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:45.440
pissed all over you. You would
have pissed all over your penny lopers,
378
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:51.440
creepers, my creeper. Sorry.
Another band that kicked ass in the eighties
379
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:58.400
Focus Diamond Head. Oh, here's
one more, man O War and Wasp.
380
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.599
Yeah, man O War definitely.
Okay, So so let's see how
381
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:06.440
you're going to counterattack. Wait a
second, when you're going to you're you've
382
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:10.800
given you're like an AK forty seven, spitting out uh metal bands and not
383
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:15.760
giving me a chance to breathe.
What is this? This is not you
384
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:20.760
know? This is this is metal
terrorism. You can't do that to me.
385
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:27.239
All right, we want to strike
back, all right. Rat was
386
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.920
one of the first true giants of
the hair metal scene. Things Too It's
387
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:35.159
breakout debut Out of the Cellar in
nineteen eighty four, which produced They Hit
388
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.239
Round and Round now one of the
most popular recognizable songs that come out of
389
00:35:38.280 --> 00:36:01.960
that scene. A former lead guitarist, Warren D. Martini, is one
390
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:06.480
of the top guitar players out there. Stephen Percy, their front man,
391
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.599
drew most of the attention, of
course, with his sense of pop metal
392
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:15.119
fashion. Truly one of the bands
that defined that era in music. However,
393
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:20.360
I must say that they had a
concert in twenty eighteen and Stephen Percy
394
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:23.519
members of the band couldn't even get
up. They were literally sitting down on
395
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:29.719
a speaker. They couldn't perform,
and it's just a disgrace to to their
396
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:34.480
fans. I mean, not being
able to perform. I believe that you
397
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:39.000
have tattoo on your ass. That's
as rat it's it's actually on my hip.
398
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:44.599
Now continue, please continue, Okay, well continue. So I had
399
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:49.760
a job in nineteen eighty nine and
my co worker was a hardcore metal head
400
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.880
and he brought a shirt that said
a Slayer right with a pentagram on it.
401
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:59.480
And he knew he knew I was, you know, I went to
402
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:04.920
church and uh, you know,
was a Christian guy. And and he
403
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:07.519
said, oh, did you know
Slayer's a Christian band? I said,
404
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:12.360
really, He goes, yeah,
check this out. They have a song
405
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:15.480
called Jesus Saves And he puts on
and they do. They have this such
406
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:20.920
a great it's a great song.
Yeah. But but and he puts on
407
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:24.039
the song and I told him straight
to his face, you scare me.
408
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:31.760
But speaking of the Christian scene,
this next band was a yellow was a
409
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:39.199
Yellow and Black attack. Now while
you gotta you gotta let see your your
410
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:45.159
AK forty seven took off. Now
you gotta let me with my missile launcher
411
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:49.960
come in to strike you down.
Because while satanic imagery has traditionally been a
412
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:53.920
big part of the metal scene of
any variety, striper striper sing about you
413
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:58.960
know, Christian values, and it
was actually accepted by mainstream of course,
414
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:02.880
the yell hello and black outfits were
we're hair metal at its best, and
415
00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:07.960
the band was often the butt of
plenty of rock jokes. However, they
416
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:13.559
didn't manage to generate a hit in
nineteen eighty seven with a power ballad,
417
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:17.480
honestly, and it was all over
the radio. They still play that on
418
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:22.920
some radio stations today. But on
that note, just to make it make
419
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:25.079
it even better for you, we're
gonna take a break here back to the
420
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:30.800
eighties, and we're gonna bring it
right back with more of Chang's ak forty
421
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:36.360
seven of metal, and we're gonna
leave you with Striper's newest hit, just
422
00:38:36.400 --> 00:39:00.679
so you can tell that Striper still
has music. Stop but no, no
423
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:13.039
to nothin no. He's reading shut
and towers so true. He's a holy
424
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:30.920
univis al righteous. I seen through
with the races, the blood my wall,
425
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:50.920
he fos the special pleas I strained
enough put his one consistiction, the
426
00:39:51.119 --> 00:40:09.559
tom said, he answered the girl, he's a holy USI the horse my
427
00:40:09.840 --> 00:41:45.760
sister, sister, He's as sister. We never stopped, never stop,
428
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:49.239
not even when it hurts, didn't
hurt, didn't hurt, didn't hurt,
429
00:41:50.119 --> 00:42:05.880
not stop. Unforgettable memories from the
eighties started back to the eighties. A
430
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:21.760
god you're listening to back to the
eighties. That was Blood from Above by
431
00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:27.320
Striper Michael Sweet, although his voice
did get a little bit deeper. Chang,
432
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:30.920
I know that you went to go
see Striper at some point, But
433
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:34.840
to believe it or not, he
can still reach some of those notes,
434
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:38.440
which I'm just glad to hear that. You know what, man, I
435
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:44.280
I just thought that their get up
was kind of gay, kind of like
436
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:49.000
gay bees bees trying to be wasps. But they did have a lot of
437
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:53.400
talent in that band. Instrumental wise, they could rip it up a vocal
438
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:57.639
wise he could shred, you know, I mean, the guy could carry
439
00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:02.519
some lyrics. But they fell between
the crest of of being kind of pretty
440
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:07.760
for the way they looked some of
the songs that they did sing, and
441
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:15.559
then it not being like what metal
was really established on defiance people getting tired
442
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:22.280
of being pushed on, judged,
people tired of of the constraints that religion
443
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:29.519
and politics and social order were giving
the injustice. So when Striper came out,
444
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:34.440
their concept is understandable. Okay,
you want to create a positive for
445
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:37.559
the youth out there right right,
Well it was it was a little too
446
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:42.719
polished for for people who who weren't
in the church scene, you know basically,
447
00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:45.480
and uh, you know what we're
going to be able to bring you,
448
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:49.559
guys, Striper. Believe it or
not, Striper is going to be
449
00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:52.119
on back to the eighties. And
that is a little surprise we have for
450
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:58.119
you. So you gotta keep tuning
in to find out when Striper comes back.
451
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:01.719
Now, originally co found unded by
late metal guitar Virtuous of Randy Rhodes.
452
00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:07.960
Quiet Riot is often called or often
credited, by putting hair glad metal
453
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:13.320
on the mainstream map. After nineteen
eighty three, Metal Health and They became
454
00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:15.360
the first album to reach number one
on the Billboard chart. The jewel of
455
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:20.760
that release was, of course,
Come on Field of Noise. However,
456
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:28.079
the title track was Quiet Riot's Time
in the Limelight, and it was brief
457
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:35.039
bassist Rudy Sarvo, guitarist Carlos Cavazo
and drummer Frankie Benlli from the classic lineup.
458
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:38.480
We're able to stay busy, and
they still do up till today.
459
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:55.239
Driva Mama says David Raine. I'm
insane. The teacher says dada one day,
460
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:37.880
and so that's quite right with Metal
Health. Bang your head, how
461
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:39.840
do you like that? How do
you like it? Came back at you?
462
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:44.480
You know what you had, You
came back strong. Now. That
463
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:47.159
was one of my favorite LA metal
bands. I checked those guys out at
464
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:51.719
the Art Vessel. They opened up. They were the last ones on the
465
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.760
ticket. They got tossed up there. The bad thing about that gig with
466
00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:59.760
them is they went out first,
so the sound equipment kind of sucked,
467
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:04.800
so they really didn't have the power
behind him because it was pretty pretty much
468
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:09.079
a technical issue. But that was
a great band. Kevin Dubro had powerful
469
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:14.280
lyrics. He had some powerful chops, you know, they they wailed.
470
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:20.400
Cavazzo filled in great. You know, from the departure of Randy Rhodes,
471
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:25.480
Rudy sarzol Frankie bala Bonelli who we
lost of cancer a couple of years back,
472
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:32.119
Rudy Sarzo joined Randy Rhodes to play
Ozzie later in time then but You
473
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:37.360
Came Back Strong. That was a
great, a great freaking album. I
474
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:40.239
remember I went to that concert.
I had this shirt killer ass band dude,
475
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:44.920
quiet right all the way la King. Okay, now I'm gonna take
476
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:49.880
it to a band that is called
Y and T. You know what I'm
477
00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:52.679
saying, mean streak when their their
debut album, Y and T. You've
478
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:59.280
got to familiarize yourself with YAT Tell
the young Tascano to crank on YANT and
479
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:04.880
get some skills off of that band. Another great, uh hardcore band that
480
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:09.360
I think would probably scare the crap
out of you. Testament. Testament was
481
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:15.400
a little bit darker, a dual
guitar playing UH hard pounding uh drum and
482
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:25.679
bass. Act of Terror, but
more lyrically about the decline of civilization,
483
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:30.840
the anger that people have about it, how they felt, you know,
484
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:34.599
the lyricture about the end, because
everything kind of looked black in the eighties,
485
00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:37.920
you know, because we didn't know
what was going on with the Reagan
486
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:42.239
and Gorby back then another band that
came out Murder I am, by the
487
00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:45.519
way, I am very familiar with
Testament. I don't know if you remember
488
00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:53.280
a band called Virgin Steel or Stealer. You know, those are a couple
489
00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:59.920
of the hardcore last of the metal
bands. But then uh metal also took
490
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:04.840
turned to go into thrash metal,
which became black metal. I don't know
491
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:08.760
if there was a band that used
to tear it up called Loudness from Japan.
492
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:15.000
I mean they were just like totally
killer Alca, Draz geez Bro.
493
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:20.760
I could just keep going, Merciful
Fate, you know, Celtic Frost.
494
00:48:21.199 --> 00:48:24.239
How about this? How about this? You mentioned one of your favorite bands,
495
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:30.760
Warrant a little while ago, and
another band that was another band now
496
00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:35.960
Warrant milked every single ounce of MTV's
obsession with hair metal. It's almost as
497
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:38.880
if Warrant was the boy band of
the movement, right. I mean,
498
00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:45.400
they had matching outfits with their names
on the sleeves, choreograph moves and focus
499
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:50.199
on video and not necessarily the song. And now, come on, if
500
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:54.280
there's ever a song that was made
for MTV, it wasn't until nineteen nineties.
501
00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:59.199
Yeah, you know the song Cherry
Pie. I mean, you gotta
502
00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:01.719
give the band credit it right,
they knew how to follow the formula,
503
00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:07.599
and retro fans still want to hear
it. But here's the thing. The
504
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:12.199
only good thing is that band was
that hot check. Oh okay, but
505
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.119
I'm going to hit you back in
these with these two bands. Now,
506
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:20.679
bon Jovie's another band that might be
on the line when talking about whether it
507
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:23.679
belongs to the hair metal category or
not. You may think it is,
508
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:29.880
and you know, we need to
address it because even back in the runway
509
00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:32.599
days of nineteen eighty four, their
hair was teased, coats were long,
510
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:37.239
and of course bon Jovie was a
group made for MTV. The songs were
511
00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:44.159
the perfect combination of arena rock and
pop metal, capturing of male and female
512
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:49.880
fans. But the success of nineteen
eighty six is Slippery When Wet Yep Slippery
513
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:53.719
feature the song Living on a Prayer. It made bon Jovi one of the
514
00:49:53.800 --> 00:50:00.719
biggest acts in the world more than
anybody else on this on this a rock
515
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:06.800
and roll and metal talk that we're
having, and they still remain relevant even
516
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:12.559
though John bon Jovi cannot sing anymore. Okay, bring it, bring it.
517
00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:46.079
However, here's what I'm where.
I'm gonna strike you very very strong.
518
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:52.159
Are you ready for this? Because
John bon Jobi helped give this Philadelphia
519
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:59.320
area bandits break and they delivered three
quality albums during the era, The Night
520
00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:02.000
Songs and They ten eighty six,
Long Cold Winter in nineteen eighty eight and
521
00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:46.840
Heartbreak Station in nineteen ninety. Cinderella
Nobody's fool Nice Now, that's that's a
522
00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:52.400
nice bolly back at yeah, And
although Cinderella did look the part of hair
523
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:57.840
rockers, of course, their overall, their overall sounds seem to have more
524
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:02.079
meat than other bands of that era, mostly because of Tom Keefer's raspy voice
525
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:07.280
and blues infused guitar work. Yes, Now I'm gonna saw a couple of
526
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:12.599
bands are good Volley right there now, Cinderella is a great band. Also,
527
00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:16.840
here's two other bands, Tesla and
Lizzie Borden. Those are two other
528
00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:22.599
bands, yes that I think kind
of uh. We should ask Mike Davis
529
00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:25.360
what was it like using AquaNet.
That would have been a great question,
530
00:52:25.719 --> 00:52:30.760
because you know, I've known Mike
since back in the days of Montebello.
531
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:35.960
You know, when he first started
with Borden, he was jamming in Bandza
532
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:38.679
with his brother Brian, and he
was also playing in a Battle of the
533
00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:45.960
Bands in Montabello. But Tesla another
band that could either fall upon metal or
534
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:53.119
could fall upon the other genre,
like Van Halen, you know what I
535
00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:58.760
mean, where it's like not metal
but it's hard rock. But they got
536
00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:05.039
categorized as Cinderella did into a realm
of metal. But I think both those
537
00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:09.800
bands have way more talent and more
range than a metal band. What do
538
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:14.119
you think about those three bands?
Would you not agree? Lizzie Borden,
539
00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:20.039
Tesla and Cinderella strong bands that finish
strong. And on that note, we're
540
00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:22.360
going to take a short little break

Mexican Americas don't like to just get into
550
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:20.079
gang fights and like flowers and music
and white girls named Debbie to Mexican Americans
551
00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:25.440
are named chat Chella and Jemma and
have a son in lawe named Jeff.
552
00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:34.360
Mexican Americas don't like to get up
early in the morning, but they have
553
00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:43.360
to, so they do it real
slow. Mexican Americas love educations, so
554
00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:51.840
they go to night school and they
take Spanish and get a bee. Mexican
555
00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:59.480
Americans love their nanas and their nonos
and their ninas and their ninos na na
556
00:54:59.719 --> 00:55:05.360
Nina. I don't know Mexic kind
of Americas don't like to go to the
557
00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:10.000
movies. Whether dude has to wear
contact lances Toamaica's blue eyes brown because don't
558
00:55:10.159 --> 00:55:16.119
make my brown eyes blue? And
that's all I got. How do you
559
00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:20.920
like it? No, that's good. Yeah, it's like a protest tune.
560
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:22.400
Man. Yeah, I did that, man, But you know why
561
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:25.159
you were singing that, I wrote
another tune, you know. Yeah.
562
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:30.119
Yeah, it's it's like the same
thing, only different. Dude, do
563
00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:31.519
you want to hear it? Yeah, it's like a little bit more rock
564
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:45.960
and roll. Right, get down
something this year Peters, Paters, I
565
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:51.199
gotta work a little more in the
lyrics. Yeah. Now back to good,
566
00:55:51.320 --> 00:55:58.159
wholesome, politically correct entertainment. Oops, rock station, No, back
567
00:55:58.199 --> 00:56:16.199
to the eighties with test rock and
roll is in your soul? That band
568
00:56:17.039 --> 00:56:21.039
was epic back in the day.
That's a band, mean Tiscott will have
569
00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:24.519
to agree agree upon, uh,
speaking of bands that we both can agree
570
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:30.280
upon to where they could go for
their looks of being glad, pretty metal.
571
00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:35.519
But when you when you crank on
the cassette or you crank on the
572
00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:38.480
vinyl and you just get into the
core of the music and the sound,
573
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:45.199
just like Tesla, just like Lizzie
Borden. Uh, here's another band like
574
00:56:45.320 --> 00:56:51.559
Great White, Uh, Girls School
and Helix. Helix is another band to
575
00:56:51.800 --> 00:56:55.719
where they got. You know,
they kind of looked pretty because they had
576
00:56:55.760 --> 00:57:00.480
to keep in with that flow.
Because the one thing about the pretty metal,
577
00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:05.519
they got more chicks than a lot
of us that were in the hardcore
578
00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:08.559
metal, because you know, chicks
were unwilling to go out with a guy
579
00:57:08.679 --> 00:57:15.559
that had falonies or maybe a suspended
license, or no job or no job,
580
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:20.400
or push drugs for a living,
or go out and punch people in
581
00:57:20.440 --> 00:57:22.800
the face or you know, I
remember, I recall the days of getting
582
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:27.800
into pit and slamming people, you
know. So yeah, but you know
583
00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:30.880
change. I remember the chains on
the on the on the jeans, chains
584
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:35.639
on the jeans, are on the
leather pants, and spikes on their wrists.
585
00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:37.760
Oh yeah, dude, bands like
that. Now, Great White here's
586
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:40.480
a band right here, Ciscano.
And I'm sure you like Great White.
587
00:57:40.639 --> 00:57:44.519
I do, actually, I really
do. Yeah. Now, Great White
588
00:57:44.639 --> 00:57:49.920
was in competition because they did a
couple of tracks that were Led Zeppelin covers.
589
00:57:50.519 --> 00:57:55.119
So them and Zebra another great band
that came out that was kind of
590
00:57:55.719 --> 00:58:02.519
put to the test of a led
Zeppelin vocal style of musical range. But
591
00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:08.519
bands like that, you don't get
much talk on on great bands like that,
592
00:58:08.760 --> 00:58:12.440
you know. But then again,
Great White did come back with two
593
00:58:12.519 --> 00:58:15.400
different versions. You know, they
went through the legal system that fought each
594
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:21.599
other like more greedy bastards than than
you can even wave a stick at all.
595
00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:23.320
Right, well, I'm going to
untie it. I'm gonna untie it
596
00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:28.480
for you, and I'm gonna untie
it for all eighties fans because what I'm
597
00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:53.639
gonna hit you with is something you're
gonna enjoy, a gonna o god this
598
00:58:54.119 --> 00:59:05.239
is That's right. I'm hitting you
with the legendary frontman of Twisted Sister,
599
00:59:05.360 --> 00:59:12.440
D Snyder. And although D Snyder
may think that Twisted Sister doesn't belong in
600
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:16.639
the glam and metal scene, well
I think it definitely qualifies because, yes,
601
00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:22.400
although it was established before the scene
took off, but certainly they looked
602
00:59:22.440 --> 00:59:29.159
apart and they used MTV and the
overall hair glam rock movement to score it's
603
00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:35.079
only commercially successful album, would Stay
Hungry in nineteen eighty four. Plus it
604
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:38.039
was a band that never took itself
seriously and had they had a good time
605
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:42.119
with the music and the videos.
Now I gotta give it up. You
606
00:59:42.199 --> 00:59:45.119
got me on a tongue tight here
Now, I like Twisted Sister. I
607
00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:47.920
thought they were metal. You could
put them kind of in the glam only
608
00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:52.199
because they did wear makeup, but
you cannot say that they were in the
609
00:59:52.440 --> 00:59:59.599
bubblegum. I'm gonna sing to my
chick. I'm gonna wear the same kind
610
00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:07.320
of jackets with shoulder pads like my
chick style rock and roll. Do you
611
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:14.119
mean do you mean to tell me
that they're not going to be musically as
612
01:00:14.199 --> 01:00:19.440
this band from the greatest hair metal
band of all time. For some people,
613
01:00:19.960 --> 01:00:23.119
when the genre is brought up,
this should be the group that comes
614
01:00:23.159 --> 01:00:29.840
to mind with Brett, Ricky,
Bobby and CC who lived up the hair
615
01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:35.280
metal life like nobody else. From
the teased hair makeup clothes and good times
616
01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:39.519
on stage and off. Poison was
the epitome of the hair metal scene.
617
01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:44.719
Who lived up the hair metal life
like nobody else. From the teased hair
618
01:00:45.079 --> 01:00:51.480
makeup clothes and good times on stage
and off. Poison was the epitome of
619
01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:58.400
the hair metal scene, and the
band never apologized this. Of course,
620
01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:17.079
I'm talking about Poison. Look at
what the cat dragged in. What did
621
01:01:17.159 --> 01:01:23.239
you know that? Bobby? Bassist
Bobby Doll said during an episode of vh
622
01:01:23.320 --> 01:01:27.679
Ones Behind the Music. I never
aspired to be a musician. I wanted
623
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:30.280
to be a rock and roll star, and that's what I have become.
624
01:01:31.039 --> 01:01:36.880
And fans can still catch poison on
the road today having nothing but a good
625
01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:38.400
time, Like how it did that? Yeah, I like the way you
626
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:46.519
did that. I really do now
poison, Now, poison was like poison
627
01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:54.119
to my ears. Man, these
guys look like Barbie balls with Jenna Talia
628
01:01:54.280 --> 01:02:01.119
hanging. Now I had I had
the I don't want to say fortune,
629
01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:08.679
I will I know. I will
say I had the benefit of coming to
630
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:17.800
cross these pretty boys during the Hollywood
Sun said Boulevard eighties rock and roll scene,
631
01:02:19.119 --> 01:02:24.559
when Gazaries had the legendary k and
Et ninety four point seven. Oh
632
01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:32.559
yeah, sticker, I mean not
sticker, but painted on the side overlooking
633
01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:37.599
the rainbow, the same side where
Van Halen was painted on, that same
634
01:02:37.719 --> 01:02:43.480
side where later Poisoned and Motley Crewe
were put up on banners. Now,
635
01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:47.440
I had the benefit of meeting these
guys a few occasions. Now, one
636
01:02:47.559 --> 01:02:52.760
night when the chang was under the
influence of the White Lady too much whiskey.
637
01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:59.000
And two of my friends were walking
me down Sunset Boulevard as we were
638
01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:02.119
trying to get across this to get
into the vehicle, and Brett Michaels walked
639
01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:08.159
upon me and handed me a flier
to them opening at the Roxy the following
640
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:15.000
weekend. Here's a band flyer.
Come check us out, brothers. He
641
01:03:15.199 --> 01:03:19.840
did not have the lipstick on.
He did not look like a Barbie doll.
642
01:03:21.159 --> 01:03:25.519
He had a Levi jacket on,
Levi's no stonewash, truly bleached,
643
01:03:25.599 --> 01:03:29.960
like a real rocker. They had
some miles on him. He looked like
644
01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:32.159
a cat like me. He looked
like a cat that I would pass a
645
01:03:32.239 --> 01:03:37.039
straw to pass the joint too.
Tell him, hey, check out that
646
01:03:37.159 --> 01:03:39.719
chick's ass. He looked like that
kind of a guy. Now he gave
647
01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:45.599
me the flyer and I looked at
the flier and automatically I see him in
648
01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:52.119
his poison outfit and the chag bean
inebrated. I see red lipstick and blonde
649
01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:55.880
hair, and I whispered these words
quite loudly. I would like to get
650
01:03:57.559 --> 01:04:00.280
from that chick. Well, that
chick spread Michaels, who had to meet
651
01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:04.079
the flyer who looked like a guy
that was like me. He was inflamed,
652
01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:11.199
he was furious. He asked me
to go f myself, and then
653
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:13.760
I it came to me. Look
at those eyes, look at the harrits
654
01:04:13.880 --> 01:04:18.280
you, and then the rest is
history. We had a scuffle CC and
655
01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:23.840
Bobby pulled him away. My buddy, Yeah, we scuffled. My buddies
656
01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:27.320
pulled me away, and I remember
yelling at him, don't ever mess with
657
01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:30.920
me. I'll mess up your miscaa
bitch. Okay. I want you to
658
01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:32.960
go right now to your bathroom cabinet, get your holy water and drink it,
659
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:39.719
okay, because I'm gonna throw off
probably like fourteen serves at you right
660
01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:45.679
now. We have a metal that
turned a couple of a couple of avenues.
661
01:04:46.119 --> 01:04:50.880
We went dark, and we went
thrash. So there's three types of
662
01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:56.840
metal that are going to scare you
that you're probably gonna not want your boys
663
01:04:56.920 --> 01:05:00.280
to listen to, that you're probably
gonna all want to after I give you
664
01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:05.679
these names of I will give you
three bands in the black metal, three
665
01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:13.360
bands in the dark metal. Now
Here is a band Suicidal Tendencies, kind
666
01:05:13.400 --> 01:05:18.519
of like a rap hip hop metal
band that was dynamic Los Angeles. Of
667
01:05:18.599 --> 01:05:23.920
course from the vodio. From the
street, they look like a bunch of
668
01:05:23.960 --> 01:05:28.599
homes. Suicidal Tendencies look like me
and my homies. If you want to
669
01:05:28.679 --> 01:05:31.760
picture what the chang look like and
the guys that I ran with back in
670
01:05:31.840 --> 01:05:36.559
the eighties, check out Suicidal Tendencies. We don't play no games and say
671
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:42.199
the bodio, homie, We're gonna
smash and crash brol. Here's another band,
672
01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:46.599
bro T s o L. Another
great kind of a speed metal,
673
01:05:46.719 --> 01:05:50.159
in your face street band. You
know what I mean. We're gonna We're
674
01:05:50.159 --> 01:05:56.360
gonna pass a bottle of whiskey and
share a forty ouncer. Another band that
675
01:05:56.960 --> 01:06:01.000
looked pretty but wasn't King Diamond.
He looked a little bit more eviler than
676
01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:08.119
Kiss. Now that would end kind
of my on thought of the hard rock
677
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:12.760
metal that I hung out and the
gigs I went to. But then you
678
01:06:12.840 --> 01:06:16.559
open the can like a tunic can
into these other two diverse groups and I'm
679
01:06:16.559 --> 01:06:20.840
gonna hit you real quick with black
metal. So you better have some pretty
680
01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:25.039
boyd rock and roll that is going
to be able to that's going to be
681
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:32.119
able to counterplay what I'm hitting you
with Venom, Sepultula, Sabotage, Celtic,
682
01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:38.280
Frost, Exodus, Metal Church.
Now these are bands I'm going to
683
01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:41.880
give you just real quick. We
don't have to talk about their music because
684
01:06:41.880 --> 01:06:44.960
we really don't have enough time,
but I want to get him into there
685
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:51.320
because they are the roots of the
tree of the birth and death of metal.
686
01:06:53.119 --> 01:06:56.760
If you know what I'm talking about, Overkill, Warlock, Pentagram,
687
01:06:56.920 --> 01:07:01.320
Riot, Corrosion of Conformity, Dark
Angel, my brother, you know,
688
01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:08.079
Creater destruction of course with Raven and
at Celtic Prost probably one of the greatest,
689
01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:13.599
most known besides Venom and Merciful Fate
in that realm. Then you get
690
01:07:13.679 --> 01:07:18.039
into that thrash metal, which is
all aggression Ripley brother to where a lot
691
01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:25.639
of maybe the metal movement and the
metal vibe got misconscrewed and put anger and
692
01:07:26.280 --> 01:07:29.960
frustration. Is this why you hate
Metallica so much? To me? When
693
01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:33.280
Clipburton passed away, the heart and
soul and the balls and guts of Metallica
694
01:07:33.679 --> 01:07:36.599
went away. There, I said
it. I don't know how many listeners
695
01:07:36.599 --> 01:07:42.679
are gonna hate me, but I
think true listeners and metal heads are going
696
01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:46.039
to probably say right on. Chank
for you saying that, And here a
697
01:07:46.159 --> 01:07:54.119
shout out to all my real metal
head fans and fanets. Metallica started sucking
698
01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:58.679
after Clipburton passed, Oh are you
done? Are you ready? Because I'm
699
01:07:58.679 --> 01:08:02.559
gonna mention him, really really asked, because the show is pretty much hit
700
01:08:02.679 --> 01:08:08.159
the end of the road, and
here we go faster. Pussycat. You
701
01:08:08.280 --> 01:08:13.119
still got white Snake, you still
got kicks, you still got dirty looks,
702
01:08:14.039 --> 01:08:15.479
We still got you. Want me
to hit you with more? How
703
01:08:15.520 --> 01:08:21.279
about some white lion? How about
Winger? How about how about some nitro?
704
01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:30.560
Enough enough rough cut d malls Steve
Stevens, you want gonna give you
705
01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:35.520
some more? How about this?
See I can follow you at last,
706
01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:42.840
but not least smashed gladys. All
right, So on that note, I

01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:45.760
know that there's a lot more ammunition
you have under your belt as well you
708

California here at Chadez Relieve, while

00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:30.960
We're watching the United States play Japan. Today is the eighty four Olympics.

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.359

Hagar, Chip holl the hell are

11
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.319
what a fabulous way to spend the
day here the nineteen eighty four Olympics.
12
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:10.159
That watching baseball be next to the
greatest narrator of all sports of all time.
13
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.040
Well, thank you very much.
I often say that of myself when
14
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.079
I'm look into the mirror. My
wife's always tell me you're so fully yourself,
15
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.879
And I said, hey, that's
a three two call. You're looking
16
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.040
at a couple of Swedens coming and
everybody out there. We got Hendrix on
17
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.480
the plate. He's looking at a
kind two and one. We are at
18
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.560
the bottom of the first By the
way, what are you What are you
19
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.120
sipping there? What are you smoking
there? It looks pretty tasty. Oh,
20
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.760
I'm smoking a Cuban and I've got
a little bit of the hoochie in
21
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.640
there. I thought one better way
to go down to Los Angeles and enjoy
22
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:49.760
a beautiful day at the ballpark Chilas
Ravine, home of the Los Angeles Dodgers,
23
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.200
and smoke a little hoochie. Called
the game. Hendrix comes up with
24
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.799
a three two at the full count. We got batters on second base.
25
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.040
We're over here looking at the skipper. Oh, we're gonna call a box.
26
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.959
That's gonna put Hendricks right back up. So right now in the US,
27
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.039
they've got a runner on second and
a runner on first. They got
28
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.439
one our play the way that that
ball as he came back to the pitcher
29
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.719
slipped the picture's head. It almost
hit the mascot there. No, there
30
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.599
shouldn't really be any mascots. I
mean, this is a game today.
31
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.280
That's representing all of us, a
unity either where nobody should single themselves up
32
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.719
with a ridiculous mascot. I mean, I don't even know what that is.
33
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.120
Chip, I don't know if that's
an elephant to play the Saxo plot.
34
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:37.039
I have no idea. Dawson's batting
a slim two eighty one and he's
35
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:42.240
Oh Dawson is swung and he's hit. Chip, Dawson is down. He
36
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.759
was struck by a wild pitch.
I think that was maybe two under twelve
37
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.479
miles an hour. It looked like
it from here. I don't know.
38
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:53.159
Well, you know, everything is
fast and japad and one of those fast
39
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.919
things is their pitches. You know. That's why we're buying somebody of their
40
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.439
pictures. But anyway, Yeah,
he's down for the count I've been.
41
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.319
I haven't seen anybody that down since
your bachelor party with me and you did
42
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.159
a little couple of gaggers. We
are drinking that rump straight up in the
43
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.319
We woke up with lipstick written across
our heads. I had the d I
44
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.479
you had the ck on you.
I don't know what that. Oh,
45
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:21.000
why don't you go ahead and h
take us back to the eighties and call
46
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.039
us next bat or Hashido Cabuto.
Why don't you give the stats out Hashido
47
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:31.120
and now betting number twelve for Japan
Shiito Cashido? Is that what you said?
48
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:37.479
No, his name was Ishido Camito. Sorry, number twelve Hashido Camino
49
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:43.439
or Cabuto either way, betting for
Japan against the US of A. This
50
00:03:43.560 --> 00:04:00.000
is nineteen eighty four Olympics and we're
going back to the eighties. Save me
51
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:24.240
back. You are listening to Back

61
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.399
the second stop to our three part
crews of rock and metal bands from around
62
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.240
the world. Last week we had
Mike Davis from Lucy Borden Halford and Drama
63
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.839
Rama. We had Shannon the shan
Man Hernandez of ninety eight KUPD Phoenix on
64
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.560
the show, so if you missed
it, you could always catch the show
65
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:26.240
again on any of the podcast platforms. Now as he is every single week
66
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:31.240
with me is a man that has
used over a thousand names to collect more
67
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.680
Columbia House cassettes and is the main
reason they ran out of music and out
68
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:45.680
of business. He's been secretly He's
been secretly seen at eighties festivals collecting wham
69
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:51.439
pins, wearing baby blue leg warmers
and a tight shirt that says father figure
70
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:59.240
Street Daddy Daddy. We here at
back to the eighties who call him the
71
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:05.079
chain. How the heck are you
my friend? Oh, I'm okay,
72
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:14.040
I'm real swell, what the hell? Let's ring the bell, Let's write
73
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.160
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and kiddies, eighties, ladies,
74
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:26.800
dudes and dudets of an aragon by. You are about to witness stupidity
75
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.000
at its finest sets right, and
who better to give you that stupidity,
76
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.920
but myself the legend in my own
mind and everybody's favorite to tell you,
77
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:42.560
besides chef Boyardie Tusky, Tiscano,
now Tiscano. Tonight we are going to
78
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:53.560
go Imano, Imano, head to
head, hair against hair Balls against Akwanet
79
00:06:53.600 --> 00:07:00.279
and spandex. So Tiscano, I
want to ask you, now, did
80
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.000
you go to church and drink some
holy water? Because I'm going to bring
81
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:08.199
up some bands that are going to
scare the crap out of you. They
82
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.079
probably will, and I'm going to
be ready for it. But before we
83
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.040
get into the show, I want
to take a couple of moments to address
84
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.399
something that occurred this past week.
On our Facebook page. We said a
85
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:25.040
mean with Freddie Freddie Mercury's picture and
a quote. If you said it or
86
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.240
not, that's not the issue here. But let me read you what the
87
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.600
quote reads. Quote. We are
in a golden age of music. There
88
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:38.000
will be a time when technology becomes
so advanced that we'll rely on them to
89
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:44.480
make music rather than raw talent.
Music will lose its soul end quote.
90
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.800
What happened? We've gotten over one
hundred and four thousand people reacting to it.
91
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.199
Almost eight thousand comments on this and
out of those eight thousand comments,
92
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:59.279
we have had maybe a hundred comments
of people that just misunderstood the quote,
93
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.360
thinking that this quote said what it
did not say. First of all,
94
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.439
the post is not saying there wasn't
going to be any good music in the
95
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.720
future. It doesn't say that technology
was going to make music on its own,
96
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.399
and it doesn't say that there aren't
going to be any more talented musicians.
97
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.079
It doesn't say that people can't make
music with technology. And also the
98
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.879
argument that a lot of people said
on this post that oh, all parents
99
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.600
said the same thing about their music, and in the eighties, the old
100
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.439
people said the same thing about music
back then. Look, parents are always
101
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:31.720
going to have issues with some of
the music that their kids listen to,
102
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.919
all right, it's always going to
be. But you can't compare music that
103
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.360
was new to the scene, music
that changed generations to come because it was
104
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.639
the first time we had ever heard
that, unlike today where most music mainstream
105
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.080
or not isn't really new. Now. Once again, not all are there
106
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:58.320
better musicians today? Well, some
yes, some know. It's like saying
107
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.480
that we have better and more talented
painters or artists than we did with Van
108
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.120
Gogh, Rembrandt, Picasso, Monet. You get the point. Just because
109
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.600
we have better tech and some can
play an instrument better doesn't mean that they're
110
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.960
going to make art in music that
will change generations as it did when we
111
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.159
grew up in the eighties. I
mean, we had influences from the fifties,
112
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.480
from the sixties and seventies, and
those decades helped to form and in
113
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:30.360
some sense alter music and shape it
for the future generations. But I do
114
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.519
want to clarify one thing. There
is no better music. There is just
115
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.399
music that you like in music that
you don't. That's it. A lot
116
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.080
of people thought, oh my gosh, he's he's saying that all of the
117
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.840
music today sucks. Never said that. Obviously, there are great artists today
118
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.080
in all genres of music, but
this meme that was posted isn't referring to
119
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:56.320
them. It refers to a generation
of so called artists that are only in
120
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.440
the business to make money without caring
what they play. Seeing right, for
121
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.440
the masses, it's a matter if
you follow what protects the integrity of the
122
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.960
art or if you just don't care. And that, my friends, is
123
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.080
all this is back to the eighties. We're gonna be right back. That
124
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:18.320
was a long space. Nay,
my pals, Toscano and Chang went to
125
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.360
school in the eighties and that was
cool. But now they're going back.
126
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:31.039
That's right, and you can tag
along with back to the eighties radio.
127
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:41.200
Just say, did not go away, didn't live inside the hun We never
128
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.480
be as if he's a lot of
change, you don't have to be the
129
00:10:45.600 --> 00:11:00.320
same. Now you're a strangers.
If someone else, I'm not saying the
130
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:05.960
song of mine and now things clear, saying no, I don't remember when
131
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.879
I pass you back again? You
can't. Don't you far to show his
132
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:30.559
leading love alone, I'm leading love
love alone. Last night you took with
133
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.360
so you can say listen, I
can see it. I don't want you
134
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:41.480
to see what you got to make
you do want You don't meet yourself?
135
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:20.200
Leading alone, leading you say you
never go away, living side my heart,
136
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.559
we never be a mine. It
seems a lot scape. You'll never
137
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:41.159
be the same. Now you're the
stranger someone leading, leading, lead,
138
00:12:48.519 --> 00:13:05.080
leading, leading, my mind leading. If you can't wear a spandex jumpsuit,
139
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:16.159
what can you do? John Sells
with Leaving Love Alone nineteen eighty eight.
140
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.440
This was a band out of Boulder
featuring John Newlyn on guitar, vocals
141
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.320
or John Sells, Andy Herman's on
bass, Kelly Clear on drums, and
142
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:31.639
Warren Writer on keyboards. Back in
nineteen seventy nine, the group focused mostly
143
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:37.519
on recording instead of live performances.
The studio in Boulder called North Star Studios.
144
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:43.000
While still in construction, they allowed
Cells to come in during non construction
145
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.720
hours laid down some tracks, including
two of their songs that became the band's
146
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.440
debut forty five album, and it
was a red record. I don't know
147
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.679
if you've seen this, but it's
a red record. You could catch it
148
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.519
on our Facebook page and the songs
were Oh and Terminal thighs Now. The
149
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.080
Red forty five vinyl proved to be
one of the most collectible and popular records
150
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:09.879
from Colorado in the late seventies.
But unfortunately, unfortunately John passed away nineteen
151
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.879
ninety four. But brother, his
music is gonna keep on living on.
152
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.679
If you like what you heard,
you can catch music by John Sells by
153
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:24.159
visiting John Sell's Facebook page at John
Sells Music, or by visiting Rocky Mountain
154
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.759
Lowe dot com. I Want to
give a big thanks and a shout out
155
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.879
to Katherine Levine, who is the
creative director over there. We're gonna have
156
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.919
John Cell's music information on our Facebook
page as soon as you listen to the
157
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.240
show. So I want to welcome
you back back to the eighties radio.
158
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:46.440
Today, we're making our second stop
at Metal Rock Island, and before we
159
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.480
do that, I want to give
a special shout out to some of our
160
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:56.799
biggest listeners in Australia, Germany,
the UK, Japan and Argentina. Did
161
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:01.039
you know I just found out Chang
that we are in thirty third place out
162
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.919
of all podcasts listen to in the
country of Argentina. Can you believe that?
163
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:11.240
Now? That makes me think of
one thing man, the power and
164
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.960
the unity that radio brings, whether
it's music, conversation or humor. That's
165
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.600
very humbling. I want to thank
everybody out there, everybody out there,
166
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:26.600
even in back home in our states, in Mexico and Spain and Italy,
167
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:30.480
a big shout out, in a
big thank you at about to all of
168
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:35.720
you. It's very humbling to know
that technology has taken us to this point
169
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:41.879
to where it's grown from terrestrial radio. The other thing that's very empowering about
170
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.080
all. This is the topic we're
discussing, hard rock metal. So many
171
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:52.799
countries have their own style of metal
with their own language, you know,
172
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.799
which is in the vocals. I'm
talking bands is like nowadays, like Ramstein.
173
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.919
Back in the day we had the
Scorpions from Germany and you know what,
174
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.679
Tascano, Not only do we want
to say thank you, we want
175
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.960
to tell them all if you like
what you hear and you're eager to listen,
176
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.120
what we're going to give you music
wise in the eighties realm of music.
177
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.679
At the end of the day,
you need something that's going to take
178
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:21.639
your mind away from whatever stress and
strange you, whatever was hectic or busy.
179
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:25.320
You know, we want to give
you radio when you most need it.
180
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:27.159
Some of you guys out there are
parents. You know you can hard
181
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:32.080
await to your kids or in bed, but nowadays with a COVID, a
182
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:33.440
lot of schools aren't in there.
So you've got to get away from the
183
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.639
stress. You know, you're driving
home from work, you got to deal
184
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.039
with some jackass on the subway or
on the bus. You need something that's
185
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.840
going to take you out of that
realm. So hopefully we're doing that.
186
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.440
All you got to do is share
us, tell a friend, tell a
187
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:55.039
couple of friends. You know,
the more the merrier. Tonight we're gonna
188
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:59.399
get heavy. D Are you ready
to take it on? I am ready.
189
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:00.679
I remember last week you asked me, are we going to talk about
190
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:07.240
glam metal and continue the conversation?
And of course, because you know,
191
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.519
the hair or glam metal bands of
the eighties still remain one of the true
192
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:15.079
guilty pleasures in history of music.
You know it was. It was the
193
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:21.960
hairspray, the makeup catchy pop tunes
of back in the day touched up with
194
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:27.240
distortion. I mean it made for
some serious music television. Let me sum
195
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:33.960
it up like this, My partner
in crime in nineteen eighty the sound and
196
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:42.960
vibration of then called metal music.
It was it gave us an empowerment of
197
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:49.119
us us that turned to this music
a soundtrack to a lifestyle we lived.
198
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:56.519
It was a very emotional feeling.
Metal music is very it's empowering. It's
199
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:02.559
kind of a badge of defiance.
Unifies many different people of all walks of
200
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.039
life to where we're not angry with
each other. We're just happy to be
201
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.559
there and enjoy what we're about to
take in. You know, a lot
202
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:15.680
of people think hard rockers and medallers
people that look like me are children of
203
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.799
the devil. We are not.
We may not prayer at the same church
204
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.480
as you as others, or go
to church, but we have a very
205
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:30.960
spiritual guiding. The sound of metal
got louder from its involvement in the seventies.
206
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.480
It got faster, They had more
flair, they played with more dominance.
207
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.400
It brought out more groups that emulated
some of the great bands that we
208
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:44.920
discussed, like the Thin Lizzies,
the Deep Purple's, the Rainbows. It
209
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:51.000
evolved from the Black Sabbath. I'm
going to serve on this metal tennis court,
210
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:56.000
okay, And I'm going to serve
you up a couple of hardcore rock
211
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:03.920
and roll bands from my personal liking
in the eighties. Are you ready to
212
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.759
go? Okay? So this is
gonna be kind of like a tennis match,
213
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:08.920
then, yes, kind of like
a tennis match. I'm going to
214
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:33.680
serve you an Iron Maiden. Iron
Maiden out of the UK, a great
215
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:40.279
heavy metal band. My brother solid
two guitar playing band, a bass player
216
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.640
Stevie Harris that could play like a
like he was slinging an act like he
217
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.119
was a lead guitar player. They
had two singers, Paul Diano in the
218
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.279
early eighties, and then they had
Bruce Dickinson. When Dickinson joined the band,
219
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:59.039
they seemed to become kind of an
arson set wildfire. There was no
220
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:06.759
bounds for them. The vocal range
went note for note with the riffs and
221
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.079
the speed that Iron Maiden brought out. Now, Iron Maiden and Judas Priests
222
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:17.440
both powerhouse, duel guitar playing bands, which I think gave birth to bands
223
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:22.839
like Megadeath, Metallica. I got
to go out with a band called Saxon.
224
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:29.319
You know great bands that the more
instrument the better the music. It's
225
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:32.599
only fair to mention that there are
certain other bands that, even though they're
226
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:37.240
classified in a way, a lot
of people classify them as hair metal and
227
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.400
glam metal. I don't want to
put them in that same category because they
228
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.960
were bands before the eighties, so
I want to leave them kind of out.
229
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.519
For example, like def Leopard Kiss, even Scorpions or White Snake I
230
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:53.000
mean, yeah, and Tesla,
even though they're not considered glam or hair
231
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.839
metal in many ways. However,
you can do that. I do want
232
00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:02.119
to put Motley Crue because Motley Crew
was kind of like the Madonna of the
233
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:06.839
hair and Glenn metal scene. Correct, they were always consistently, they were
234
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:12.640
consistently reinventing their look from leather clad
New York dolls, wannabees, you know
235
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.000
in a way, Saintan worshippers,
and Away with their with their Yeah,
236
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.240
with their Shout at the Devil,
hair rockers with Theater of Page nineteen eighty
237
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.720
five, and of course bikers with
their girls, girls girls from nineteen eighty
238
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.799
seven. Now the Crew, you
know, they were all about stage presents,
239
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.640
you know, and they took it, they took it all to you
240
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:41.240
know, to the max level while
becoming one of the biggest bands in the
241
00:21:41.279 --> 00:22:11.480
world. Check this out. This
one's called City Boy Blues. Now,
242
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.480
Dscano, you mentioned some some good
bands and you you you mentioned something very
243
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:21.119
important. A couple of bands that
you mentioned kind of go flip flop.
244
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:26.240
Some of them you could consider they
did touch base with the glam look and
245
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.440
the GLAMs sound, such as def
Leppard. Now, def Leppard did go
246
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:37.519
glam from their first two albums that
they they made. Also, I'd say
247
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.960
the Scorpions went a little bit love
rock glam after, of course, their
248
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:47.559
very first hit, Virgin Killers,
which had the brothers Shanker, Rudolph and
249
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:51.720
Michael in the band at the same
time. Michael later left the Scorpions to
250
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:56.000
create his own band MSG and then
also had a stint. I believe in
251
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:02.759
UFO and the other band is de
Leopard. Now that band, you have
252
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.240
to give them a lot of credit. I think they're a lot more melodic.
253
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.400
Me it's kind of more wimpy rock. But you know, I knew
254
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.640
it. I knew. I mean, but the drummer went out and he
255
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.039
lost his arm, and then he
still has a gig playing the drum.
256
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.279
Now now I'm not knocking the guy. More power to you, brother,
257
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.599
but how can you consider yourself a
metal band? Where metal has pounding drums,
258
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:37.119
double bass rolls, pounding thrusts,
heavy duty rolls, a mixture of
259
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:42.400
of tin and hard hat and slamming
thunder with one arm, you're going to
260
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:49.920
have to go synthesize. So synthesize
and metal means weaker metal like wa So
261
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.359
you are trying to tell me,
said you are trying to tell me,
262
00:23:53.680 --> 00:24:03.559
I'll say that def Leopards drummer cannot
perform real heavy metal. Yes, you
263
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.119
know what, I'm gonna tell you
this right now. Now you put you
264
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:15.279
put the drummer of def Leppard in
a room against Dave Lombardo of Slayer,
265
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:22.559
and you know what, It's like
a pit bull in a bag with two
266
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:30.759
cats because some ass. Well,
of course you gotta give him credit.
267
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.920
You can't just go on and say
he sucks. He wouldn't be able to
268
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:38.960
handle it. Hey, hey,
hey, don't put words in my mouth.
269
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:45.119
I've got to hand it to the
guy playing in a band with one.
270
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:52.720
But I'm saying the band had to
get weaker so that he could keep
271
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.440
up. Right, But that band
was already on the way to being weaker
272
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:03.240
right just like now now. Motley
Crue another great band of lay. Their
273
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:08.319
first album and their first EP,
Get Your Gun, was a great ep.
274
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:15.279
Their first album was Live Wire,
sensational, pounding, thrashing, la
275
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:19.599
in your face, pull a switch
blade out, have a bottle of whiskey,
276
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:23.440
kick your ass, hard rock.
Then they came out with Shout at
277
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.960
the Devil. You know, they
got a little famous, Uh, they
278
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:32.039
got a little crazy, little careless. That album to me didn't really sound
279
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:34.279
like they put all their all into
it, but they had the heart and
280
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.680
soul of being metal. But then
again, you know, they found dang,
281
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:42.559
they rolled the dice and then uh, you know, Vince Neil had
282
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:48.720
that tragic accident where he should have
went in jail and you know, been
283
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:53.640
somebody's cellmate, but it didn't happen. And then the band trans transcended into
284
00:25:53.680 --> 00:26:03.079
the style that they became weak.
Oh that gets a chambo. Oh my
285
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:08.720
gosh. All right, I think
it's your serve. Okay, my serve.
286
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:15.599
Are you ready? Now Here is
a legend who created his own band,
287
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:22.720
with having fame with such bands as
Elf with are you ready for this
288
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.519
one? Rainbow is Stinch and Rainbow. Of course, he took over the
289
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:33.240
rains of Black Sabbath when Ozzie was
asked to leave the band due to substance
290
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.480
intake. Ronnie James Deal, the
late Great Ronney James Deal, I was
291
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.039
very blessed and forged to meet him
at one point in my life. Had
292
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.960
a great conversation the guy created Deal
and I mean he just blew the doors
293
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.480
off of people. Metal wise,
the lyrics you could say were a bit
294
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:56.240
cryptic, maybe devil worshiping. Uh
you know, but meeting deal his his
295
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:03.960
writing style and his uh songs of
stories that he wrote about were all mythical,
296
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:08.799
all of belief, you know,
kind of putting a counterspin on people
297
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:15.799
to see what's really behind something people
don't understand. Okay, so here's another
298
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.000
band I'm going to toss that you. Are you ready for this? I'm
299
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.599
ready? Armored Saint? Who could
forget the legendary band out of Pasadena,
300
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:27.960
Alserino, Armored Saint. There's a
great band right there, brother March of
301
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:34.079
the Saints. Now there's a band. It's not going to put another band
302
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:40.880
that I have to bring up Queen's
Reich reminiscent vocal style of Rob Helfort,
303
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:45.839
Freddie Mercury, operrettic kind of vocals. But there is a band that kind
304
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:52.920
of touched the bounds of obscurity and
maybe a couple of songs sounded a little
305
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:59.119
bit hair but not really. They
always seemed to stay theatrical. Uh you
306
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:07.200
okay? Is it my journey in
or I threw I threw three bands at
307
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.079
you. Dakin was breaking the chains. Dakin probably should have been a bigger
308
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:15.200
band with their hair metal genre that
it was mainly because guitarist George Lynch and
309
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:21.559
bassist Jeff Pilson are Actually they're real
good musicians. And now the band was
310
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.960
even nominated for for the Grammy of
Best Metal Performance in nineteen eighty nine.
311
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:32.799
Now, Lynch doesn't even necessarily consider
Dakin a full blown hair or glam metal
312
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:38.599
band, but he certainly had uh
the benefits to fit in, and frontman
313
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:45.279
Don Dawkins still takes his version of
the group on the road plane hits like
314
00:28:45.000 --> 00:29:15.839
alone again and to those interested in
listening, here's breaking the chains. I
315
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:19.400
would like to break him with Jane. I used to call that guy Don
316
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:25.039
Donkey because he's just a jackass.
I see what I see that guy at
317
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:29.160
the Rainbow one time, man,
and I thought he was a woman's beautician.
318
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:32.400
He had a scarf around his head. And you know, I wear
319
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.400
headbands. I rock headbands like you
know, I'm straight out. I'm straight
320
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:37.839
out of the body. So you
know I even iron my headbands, bro.
321
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.799
But I'm not. I'm not.
I'm not playing headbands like h Stephen,
322
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:48.880
Steven Tyler or Don Donkey. You
know, but I thought George Lynch
323
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.480
was way more talented than that band
could ever create. I don't think Don
324
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:57.839
Donkey had the vocal range to every
to ever carry that band farther than he
325
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:03.119
did, a lot like Warrant,
which I'm sure you're gonna hit me with.
326
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:06.680
You know. The only good thing
about the only good thing about Warrant
327
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:10.640
was that hot blonde in their video
there I said, I just tallied and
328
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.480
hit it right back at you.
Slam you did, And you know what,
329
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.160
I'm going to hit it right back
at you because because skid row with
330
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.200
eighteen in Life Now, although a
lot of people are gonna question, why
331
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:26.759
are you including them marks, why
are you including them in this list of
332
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.599
your guys? Because the band was, believe it or not, more hair
333
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.200
than glam and actually featured pretty good
musicians as well, and it had one
334
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:38.799
of the best wide ranging voices in
all of metal with Sebastian Bach, at
335
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:44.920
least during his you Know the Heyday
Now skid Rowe Too Bad. He turned
336
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:49.000
it into a raging alcoholic idiot skid
Rowe Broke Through with it self titled nineteen
337
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:56.240
eighty nine debut that made them MTV
staples thanks to Youth Gun Wild, eighteen
338
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:02.799
in Life and a widely popular Wow
what was that somebody sneezed in the background?
339
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:37.599
Who is that is that I'm still
loving Because somebody sneezed in the background.
340
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:41.920
I was like, what the heck
is that? Man? You know
341
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.960
what's funny? Man? You play
this band? And I remember I uh
342
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.880
seen him at the Rainbow and he
was a sebastian back was a pompous ass,
343
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.119
you know. Oh he was like
a pretty boy want to be tough,
344
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:00.319
you know what I mean? Uh, I didn't talk to him.
345
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:04.839
I had no altar cash with him. This is is this why why real
346
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.799
metal heads call hair bands, you
know, opposers and stuff like that.
347
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:13.519
Uh, let's see. Uh,
I hope there's no kids listening right now.
348
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:20.000
We call them Woosi's kitty cats.
Pretty boys want to be chicks.
349
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:22.039
Needless to say, you guys had
something against them, and I don't get
350
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:29.200
why, to be honest, because
they actually had some really really good music
351
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:32.599
in my opinion, because i'd see, I love all genres of music.
352
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:37.720
I'm a all kinds of music lover, and the only stuff, you know,
353
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:42.400
the only stuff that I hate is
pretty much the B fifty twos.
354
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.079
Aside from that, I still want
to recognize that they do have music,
355
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:49.839
right Their music is music. But
anyway, it's on your court, my
356
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.759
friends. Okay, Now I am
going to tally up with you. Here's
357
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.960
a band that scared the hell out
of poly guys like you. Slayer,
358
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:23.359
Yes, yes, they did.
Slayer came out of a Southgate Paramount area
359
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:29.200
in southern California. You know what
I mean now, miss it? Missus
360
00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:35.119
Chang uh used to go check these
guys out when they formed Slayer when they
361
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:37.440
were in other bands. As a
matter of fact, uh my, my
362
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:45.200
missus Chang was good friends with Dave
Lombardo, the former drummer of Slayer's girlfriend,
363
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:49.680
so she got to see these bands
this, these guys play at the
364
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:52.279
Battle of the Bands. I got
to check these guys play at the l
365
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:57.720
a street scene, which I did
fancy going to during the that era in
366
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:00.920
the eighties when they had live music
playing there. And I'm gonna go ahead
367
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:05.519
and tell you up with Slayer,
and then I'm gonna hit you with another
368
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.599
band. Are you ready for this
band? I don't even think you've ever
369
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:15.840
even heard of this band? Probably
not? Okay, except no, I
370
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.280
had no, I don't think so. I may have heard their music,
371
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:22.559
but not the name of the band. Now except how to sound a little
372
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:28.519
bit heavier, less blues like than
a CDC, but Udo had a voice
373
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:32.719
that was similar between both lead singers
of ac DC. That was a good
374
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:36.639
band. Udo was no longer in
that band, but they're still jamming.
375
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:39.280
Here's another band. Yeah, I
wouldn't be in that band either. No,
376
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.800
No, those guys would have scared
you. I think you would have
377
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:45.440
pissed all over you. You would
have pissed all over your penny lopers,
378
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:51.440
creepers, my creeper. Sorry.
Another band that kicked ass in the eighties
379
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:58.400
Focus Diamond Head. Oh, here's
one more, man O War and Wasp.
380
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.599
Yeah, man O War definitely.
Okay, So so let's see how
381
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:06.440
you're going to counterattack. Wait a
second, when you're going to you're you've
382
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:10.800
given you're like an AK forty seven, spitting out uh metal bands and not
383
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:15.760
giving me a chance to breathe.
What is this? This is not you
384
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:20.760
know? This is this is metal
terrorism. You can't do that to me.
385
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:27.239
All right, we want to strike
back, all right. Rat was
386
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.920
one of the first true giants of
the hair metal scene. Things Too It's
387
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:35.159
breakout debut Out of the Cellar in
nineteen eighty four, which produced They Hit
388
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.239
Round and Round now one of the
most popular recognizable songs that come out of
389
00:35:38.280 --> 00:36:01.960
that scene. A former lead guitarist, Warren D. Martini, is one
390
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:06.480
of the top guitar players out there. Stephen Percy, their front man,
391
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.599
drew most of the attention, of
course, with his sense of pop metal
392
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:15.119
fashion. Truly one of the bands
that defined that era in music. However,
393
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:20.360
I must say that they had a
concert in twenty eighteen and Stephen Percy
394
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:23.519
members of the band couldn't even get
up. They were literally sitting down on
395
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:29.719
a speaker. They couldn't perform,
and it's just a disgrace to to their
396
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:34.480
fans. I mean, not being
able to perform. I believe that you
397
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:39.000
have tattoo on your ass. That's
as rat it's it's actually on my hip.
398
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:44.599
Now continue, please continue, Okay, well continue. So I had
399
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:49.760
a job in nineteen eighty nine and
my co worker was a hardcore metal head
400
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.880
and he brought a shirt that said
a Slayer right with a pentagram on it.
401
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:59.480
And he knew he knew I was, you know, I went to
402
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:04.920
church and uh, you know,
was a Christian guy. And and he
403
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:07.519
said, oh, did you know
Slayer's a Christian band? I said,
404
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:12.360
really, He goes, yeah,
check this out. They have a song
405
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:15.480
called Jesus Saves And he puts on
and they do. They have this such
406
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:20.920
a great it's a great song.
Yeah. But but and he puts on
407
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:24.039
the song and I told him straight
to his face, you scare me.
408
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:31.760
But speaking of the Christian scene,
this next band was a yellow was a
409
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:39.199
Yellow and Black attack. Now while
you gotta you gotta let see your your
410
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:45.159
AK forty seven took off. Now
you gotta let me with my missile launcher
411
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:49.960
come in to strike you down.
Because while satanic imagery has traditionally been a
412
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:53.920
big part of the metal scene of
any variety, striper striper sing about you
413
00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:58.960
know, Christian values, and it
was actually accepted by mainstream of course,
414
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:02.880
the yell hello and black outfits were
we're hair metal at its best, and
415
00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:07.960
the band was often the butt of
plenty of rock jokes. However, they
416
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:13.559
didn't manage to generate a hit in
nineteen eighty seven with a power ballad,
417
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:17.480
honestly, and it was all over
the radio. They still play that on
418
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:22.920
some radio stations today. But on
that note, just to make it make
419
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:25.079
it even better for you, we're
gonna take a break here back to the
420
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:30.800
eighties, and we're gonna bring it
right back with more of Chang's ak forty
421
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:36.360
seven of metal, and we're gonna
leave you with Striper's newest hit, just
422
00:38:36.400 --> 00:39:00.679
so you can tell that Striper still
has music. Stop but no, no
423
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:13.039
to nothin no. He's reading shut
and towers so true. He's a holy
424
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:30.920
univis al righteous. I seen through
with the races, the blood my wall,
425
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:50.920
he fos the special pleas I strained
enough put his one consistiction, the
426
00:39:51.119 --> 00:40:09.559
tom said, he answered the girl, he's a holy USI the horse my
427
00:40:09.840 --> 00:41:45.760
sister, sister, He's as sister. We never stopped, never stop,
428
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:49.239
not even when it hurts, didn't
hurt, didn't hurt, didn't hurt,
429
00:41:50.119 --> 00:42:05.880
not stop. Unforgettable memories from the
eighties started back to the eighties. A
430
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:21.760
god you're listening to back to the
eighties. That was Blood from Above by
431
00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:27.320
Striper Michael Sweet, although his voice
did get a little bit deeper. Chang,
432
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:30.920
I know that you went to go
see Striper at some point, But
433
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:34.840
to believe it or not, he
can still reach some of those notes,
434
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:38.440
which I'm just glad to hear that. You know what, man, I
435
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:44.280
I just thought that their get up
was kind of gay, kind of like
436
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:49.000
gay bees bees trying to be wasps. But they did have a lot of
437
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:53.400
talent in that band. Instrumental wise, they could rip it up a vocal
438
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:57.639
wise he could shred, you know, I mean, the guy could carry
439
00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:02.519
some lyrics. But they fell between
the crest of of being kind of pretty
440
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:07.760
for the way they looked some of
the songs that they did sing, and
441
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:15.559
then it not being like what metal
was really established on defiance people getting tired
442
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:22.280
of being pushed on, judged,
people tired of of the constraints that religion
443
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:29.519
and politics and social order were giving
the injustice. So when Striper came out,
444
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:34.440
their concept is understandable. Okay,
you want to create a positive for
445
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:37.559
the youth out there right right,
Well it was it was a little too
446
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:42.719
polished for for people who who weren't
in the church scene, you know basically,
447
00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:45.480
and uh, you know what we're
going to be able to bring you,
448
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:49.559
guys, Striper. Believe it or
not, Striper is going to be
449
00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:52.119
on back to the eighties. And
that is a little surprise we have for
450
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:58.119
you. So you gotta keep tuning
in to find out when Striper comes back.
451
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:01.719
Now, originally co found unded by
late metal guitar Virtuous of Randy Rhodes.
452
00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:07.960
Quiet Riot is often called or often
credited, by putting hair glad metal
453
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:13.320
on the mainstream map. After nineteen
eighty three, Metal Health and They became
454
00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:15.360
the first album to reach number one
on the Billboard chart. The jewel of
455
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:20.760
that release was, of course,
Come on Field of Noise. However,
456
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:28.079
the title track was Quiet Riot's Time
in the Limelight, and it was brief
457
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:35.039
bassist Rudy Sarvo, guitarist Carlos Cavazo
and drummer Frankie Benlli from the classic lineup.
458
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:38.480
We're able to stay busy, and
they still do up till today.
459
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:55.239
Driva Mama says David Raine. I'm
insane. The teacher says dada one day,
460
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:37.880
and so that's quite right with Metal
Health. Bang your head, how
461
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:39.840
do you like that? How do
you like it? Came back at you?
462
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:44.480
You know what you had, You
came back strong. Now. That
463
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:47.159
was one of my favorite LA metal
bands. I checked those guys out at
464
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:51.719
the Art Vessel. They opened up. They were the last ones on the
465
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.760
ticket. They got tossed up there. The bad thing about that gig with
466
00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:59.760
them is they went out first,
so the sound equipment kind of sucked,
467
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:04.800
so they really didn't have the power
behind him because it was pretty pretty much
468
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:09.079
a technical issue. But that was
a great band. Kevin Dubro had powerful
469
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:14.280
lyrics. He had some powerful chops, you know, they they wailed.
470
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:20.400
Cavazzo filled in great. You know, from the departure of Randy Rhodes,
471
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:25.480
Rudy sarzol Frankie bala Bonelli who we
lost of cancer a couple of years back,
472
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:32.119
Rudy Sarzo joined Randy Rhodes to play
Ozzie later in time then but You
473
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:37.360
Came Back Strong. That was a
great, a great freaking album. I
474
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:40.239
remember I went to that concert.
I had this shirt killer ass band dude,
475
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:44.920
quiet right all the way la King. Okay, now I'm gonna take
476
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:49.880
it to a band that is called
Y and T. You know what I'm
477
00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:52.679
saying, mean streak when their their
debut album, Y and T. You've
478
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:59.280
got to familiarize yourself with YAT Tell
the young Tascano to crank on YANT and
479
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:04.880
get some skills off of that band. Another great, uh hardcore band that
480
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:09.360
I think would probably scare the crap
out of you. Testament. Testament was
481
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:15.400
a little bit darker, a dual
guitar playing UH hard pounding uh drum and
482
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:25.679
bass. Act of Terror, but
more lyrically about the decline of civilization,
483
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:30.840
the anger that people have about it, how they felt, you know,
484
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:34.599
the lyricture about the end, because
everything kind of looked black in the eighties,
485
00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:37.920
you know, because we didn't know
what was going on with the Reagan
486
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:42.239
and Gorby back then another band that
came out Murder I am, by the
487
00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:45.519
way, I am very familiar with
Testament. I don't know if you remember
488
00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:53.280
a band called Virgin Steel or Stealer. You know, those are a couple
489
00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:59.920
of the hardcore last of the metal
bands. But then uh metal also took
490
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:04.840
turned to go into thrash metal,
which became black metal. I don't know
491
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:08.760
if there was a band that used
to tear it up called Loudness from Japan.
492
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:15.000
I mean they were just like totally
killer Alca, Draz geez Bro.
493
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:20.760
I could just keep going, Merciful
Fate, you know, Celtic Frost.
494
00:48:21.199 --> 00:48:24.239
How about this? How about this? You mentioned one of your favorite bands,
495
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:30.760
Warrant a little while ago, and
another band that was another band now
496
00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:35.960
Warrant milked every single ounce of MTV's
obsession with hair metal. It's almost as
497
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:38.880
if Warrant was the boy band of
the movement, right. I mean,
498
00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:45.400
they had matching outfits with their names
on the sleeves, choreograph moves and focus
499
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:50.199
on video and not necessarily the song. And now, come on, if
500
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:54.280
there's ever a song that was made
for MTV, it wasn't until nineteen nineties.
501
00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:59.199
Yeah, you know the song Cherry
Pie. I mean, you gotta
502
00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:01.719
give the band credit it right,
they knew how to follow the formula,
503
00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:07.599
and retro fans still want to hear
it. But here's the thing. The
504
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:12.199
only good thing is that band was
that hot check. Oh okay, but
505
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.119
I'm going to hit you back in
these with these two bands. Now,
506
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:20.679
bon Jovie's another band that might be
on the line when talking about whether it
507
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:23.679
belongs to the hair metal category or
not. You may think it is,
508
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:29.880
and you know, we need to
address it because even back in the runway
509
00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:32.599
days of nineteen eighty four, their
hair was teased, coats were long,
510
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:37.239
and of course bon Jovie was a
group made for MTV. The songs were
511
00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:44.159
the perfect combination of arena rock and
pop metal, capturing of male and female
512
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:49.880
fans. But the success of nineteen
eighty six is Slippery When Wet Yep Slippery
513
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:53.719
feature the song Living on a Prayer. It made bon Jovi one of the
514
00:49:53.800 --> 00:50:00.719
biggest acts in the world more than
anybody else on this on this a rock
515
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:06.800
and roll and metal talk that we're
having, and they still remain relevant even
516
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:12.559
though John bon Jovi cannot sing anymore. Okay, bring it, bring it.
517
00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:46.079
However, here's what I'm where.
I'm gonna strike you very very strong.
518
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:52.159
Are you ready for this? Because
John bon Jobi helped give this Philadelphia
519
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:59.320
area bandits break and they delivered three
quality albums during the era, The Night
520
00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:02.000
Songs and They ten eighty six,
Long Cold Winter in nineteen eighty eight and
521
00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:46.840
Heartbreak Station in nineteen ninety. Cinderella
Nobody's fool Nice Now, that's that's a
522
00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:52.400
nice bolly back at yeah, And
although Cinderella did look the part of hair
523
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:57.840
rockers, of course, their overall, their overall sounds seem to have more
524
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:02.079
meat than other bands of that era, mostly because of Tom Keefer's raspy voice
525
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:07.280
and blues infused guitar work. Yes, Now I'm gonna saw a couple of
526
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:12.599
bands are good Volley right there now, Cinderella is a great band. Also,
527
00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:16.840
here's two other bands, Tesla and
Lizzie Borden. Those are two other
528
00:52:16.920 --> 00:52:22.599
bands, yes that I think kind
of uh. We should ask Mike Davis
529
00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:25.360
what was it like using AquaNet.
That would have been a great question,
530
00:52:25.719 --> 00:52:30.760
because you know, I've known Mike
since back in the days of Montebello.
531
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:35.960
You know, when he first started
with Borden, he was jamming in Bandza
532
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:38.679
with his brother Brian, and he
was also playing in a Battle of the
533
00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:45.960
Bands in Montabello. But Tesla another
band that could either fall upon metal or
534
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:53.119
could fall upon the other genre,
like Van Halen, you know what I
535
00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:58.760
mean, where it's like not metal
but it's hard rock. But they got
536
00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:05.039
categorized as Cinderella did into a realm
of metal. But I think both those
537
00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:09.800
bands have way more talent and more
range than a metal band. What do
538
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:14.119
you think about those three bands?
Would you not agree? Lizzie Borden,
539
00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:20.039
Tesla and Cinderella strong bands that finish
strong. And on that note, we're
540
00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:22.360
going to take a short little break

Mexican Americas don't like to just get into
550
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:20.079
gang fights and like flowers and music
and white girls named Debbie to Mexican Americans
551
00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:25.440
are named chat Chella and Jemma and
have a son in lawe named Jeff.
552
00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:34.360
Mexican Americas don't like to get up
early in the morning, but they have
553
00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:43.360
to, so they do it real
slow. Mexican Americas love educations, so
554
00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:51.840
they go to night school and they
take Spanish and get a bee. Mexican
555
00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:59.480
Americans love their nanas and their nonos
and their ninas and their ninos na na
556
00:54:59.719 --> 00:55:05.360
Nina. I don't know Mexic kind
of Americas don't like to go to the
557
00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:10.000
movies. Whether dude has to wear
contact lances Toamaica's blue eyes brown because don't
558
00:55:10.159 --> 00:55:16.119
make my brown eyes blue? And
that's all I got. How do you
559
00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:20.920
like it? No, that's good. Yeah, it's like a protest tune.
560
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:22.400
Man. Yeah, I did that, man, But you know why
561
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:25.159
you were singing that, I wrote
another tune, you know. Yeah.
562
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:30.119
Yeah, it's it's like the same
thing, only different. Dude, do
563
00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:31.519
you want to hear it? Yeah, it's like a little bit more rock
564
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:45.960
and roll. Right, get down
something this year Peters, Paters, I
565
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:51.199
gotta work a little more in the
lyrics. Yeah. Now back to good,
566
00:55:51.320 --> 00:55:58.159
wholesome, politically correct entertainment. Oops, rock station, No, back
567
00:55:58.199 --> 00:56:16.199
to the eighties with test rock and
roll is in your soul? That band
568
00:56:17.039 --> 00:56:21.039
was epic back in the day.
That's a band, mean Tiscott will have
569
00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:24.519
to agree agree upon, uh,
speaking of bands that we both can agree
570
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:30.280
upon to where they could go for
their looks of being glad, pretty metal.
571
00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:35.519
But when you when you crank on
the cassette or you crank on the
572
00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:38.480
vinyl and you just get into the
core of the music and the sound,
573
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:45.199
just like Tesla, just like Lizzie
Borden. Uh, here's another band like
574
00:56:45.320 --> 00:56:51.559
Great White, Uh, Girls School
and Helix. Helix is another band to
575
00:56:51.800 --> 00:56:55.719
where they got. You know,
they kind of looked pretty because they had
576
00:56:55.760 --> 00:57:00.480
to keep in with that flow.
Because the one thing about the pretty metal,
577
00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:05.519
they got more chicks than a lot
of us that were in the hardcore
578
00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:08.559
metal, because you know, chicks
were unwilling to go out with a guy
579
00:57:08.679 --> 00:57:15.559
that had falonies or maybe a suspended
license, or no job or no job,
580
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:20.400
or push drugs for a living,
or go out and punch people in
581
00:57:20.440 --> 00:57:22.800
the face or you know, I
remember, I recall the days of getting
582
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:27.800
into pit and slamming people, you
know. So yeah, but you know
583
00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:30.880
change. I remember the chains on
the on the on the jeans, chains
584
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:35.639
on the jeans, are on the
leather pants, and spikes on their wrists.
585
00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:37.760
Oh yeah, dude, bands like
that. Now, Great White here's
586
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:40.480
a band right here, Ciscano.
And I'm sure you like Great White.
587
00:57:40.639 --> 00:57:44.519
I do, actually, I really
do. Yeah. Now, Great White
588
00:57:44.639 --> 00:57:49.920
was in competition because they did a
couple of tracks that were Led Zeppelin covers.
589
00:57:50.519 --> 00:57:55.119
So them and Zebra another great band
that came out that was kind of
590
00:57:55.719 --> 00:58:02.519
put to the test of a led
Zeppelin vocal style of musical range. But
591
00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:08.519
bands like that, you don't get
much talk on on great bands like that,
592
00:58:08.760 --> 00:58:12.440
you know. But then again,
Great White did come back with two
593
00:58:12.519 --> 00:58:15.400
different versions. You know, they
went through the legal system that fought each
594
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:21.599
other like more greedy bastards than than
you can even wave a stick at all.
595
00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:23.320
Right, well, I'm going to
untie it. I'm gonna untie it
596
00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:28.480
for you, and I'm gonna untie
it for all eighties fans because what I'm
597
00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:53.639
gonna hit you with is something you're
gonna enjoy, a gonna o god this
598
00:58:54.119 --> 00:59:05.239
is That's right. I'm hitting you
with the legendary frontman of Twisted Sister,
599
00:59:05.360 --> 00:59:12.440
D Snyder. And although D Snyder
may think that Twisted Sister doesn't belong in
600
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:16.639
the glam and metal scene, well
I think it definitely qualifies because, yes,
601
00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:22.400
although it was established before the scene
took off, but certainly they looked
602
00:59:22.440 --> 00:59:29.159
apart and they used MTV and the
overall hair glam rock movement to score it's
603
00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:35.079
only commercially successful album, would Stay
Hungry in nineteen eighty four. Plus it
604
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:38.039
was a band that never took itself
seriously and had they had a good time
605
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:42.119
with the music and the videos.
Now I gotta give it up. You
606
00:59:42.199 --> 00:59:45.119
got me on a tongue tight here
Now, I like Twisted Sister. I
607
00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:47.920
thought they were metal. You could
put them kind of in the glam only
608
00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:52.199
because they did wear makeup, but
you cannot say that they were in the
609
00:59:52.440 --> 00:59:59.599
bubblegum. I'm gonna sing to my
chick. I'm gonna wear the same kind
610
00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:07.320
of jackets with shoulder pads like my
chick style rock and roll. Do you
611
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:14.119
mean do you mean to tell me
that they're not going to be musically as
612
01:00:14.199 --> 01:00:19.440
this band from the greatest hair metal
band of all time. For some people,
613
01:00:19.960 --> 01:00:23.119
when the genre is brought up,
this should be the group that comes
614
01:00:23.159 --> 01:00:29.840
to mind with Brett, Ricky,
Bobby and CC who lived up the hair
615
01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:35.280
metal life like nobody else. From
the teased hair makeup clothes and good times
616
01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:39.519
on stage and off. Poison was
the epitome of the hair metal scene.
617
01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:44.719
Who lived up the hair metal life
like nobody else. From the teased hair
618
01:00:45.079 --> 01:00:51.480
makeup clothes and good times on stage
and off. Poison was the epitome of
619
01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:58.400
the hair metal scene, and the
band never apologized this. Of course,
620
01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:17.079
I'm talking about Poison. Look at
what the cat dragged in. What did
621
01:01:17.159 --> 01:01:23.239
you know that? Bobby? Bassist
Bobby Doll said during an episode of vh
622
01:01:23.320 --> 01:01:27.679
Ones Behind the Music. I never
aspired to be a musician. I wanted
623
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:30.280
to be a rock and roll star, and that's what I have become.
624
01:01:31.039 --> 01:01:36.880
And fans can still catch poison on
the road today having nothing but a good
625
01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:38.400
time, Like how it did that? Yeah, I like the way you
626
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:46.519
did that. I really do now
poison, Now, poison was like poison
627
01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:54.119
to my ears. Man, these
guys look like Barbie balls with Jenna Talia
628
01:01:54.280 --> 01:02:01.119
hanging. Now I had I had
the I don't want to say fortune,
629
01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:08.679
I will I know. I will
say I had the benefit of coming to
630
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:17.800
cross these pretty boys during the Hollywood
Sun said Boulevard eighties rock and roll scene,
631
01:02:19.119 --> 01:02:24.559
when Gazaries had the legendary k and
Et ninety four point seven. Oh
632
01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:32.559
yeah, sticker, I mean not
sticker, but painted on the side overlooking
633
01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:37.599
the rainbow, the same side where
Van Halen was painted on, that same
634
01:02:37.719 --> 01:02:43.480
side where later Poisoned and Motley Crewe
were put up on banners. Now,
635
01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:47.440
I had the benefit of meeting these
guys a few occasions. Now, one
636
01:02:47.559 --> 01:02:52.760
night when the chang was under the
influence of the White Lady too much whiskey.
637
01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:59.000
And two of my friends were walking
me down Sunset Boulevard as we were
638
01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:02.119
trying to get across this to get
into the vehicle, and Brett Michaels walked
639
01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:08.159
upon me and handed me a flier
to them opening at the Roxy the following
640
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:15.000
weekend. Here's a band flyer.
Come check us out, brothers. He
641
01:03:15.199 --> 01:03:19.840
did not have the lipstick on.
He did not look like a Barbie doll.
642
01:03:21.159 --> 01:03:25.519
He had a Levi jacket on,
Levi's no stonewash, truly bleached,
643
01:03:25.599 --> 01:03:29.960
like a real rocker. They had
some miles on him. He looked like
644
01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:32.159
a cat like me. He looked
like a cat that I would pass a
645
01:03:32.239 --> 01:03:37.039
straw to pass the joint too.
Tell him, hey, check out that
646
01:03:37.159 --> 01:03:39.719
chick's ass. He looked like that
kind of a guy. Now he gave
647
01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:45.599
me the flyer and I looked at
the flier and automatically I see him in
648
01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:52.119
his poison outfit and the chag bean
inebrated. I see red lipstick and blonde
649
01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:55.880
hair, and I whispered these words
quite loudly. I would like to get
650
01:03:57.559 --> 01:04:00.280
from that chick. Well, that
chick spread Michaels, who had to meet
651
01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:04.079
the flyer who looked like a guy
that was like me. He was inflamed,
652
01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:11.199
he was furious. He asked me
to go f myself, and then
653
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:13.760
I it came to me. Look
at those eyes, look at the harrits
654
01:04:13.880 --> 01:04:18.280
you, and then the rest is
history. We had a scuffle CC and
655
01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:23.840
Bobby pulled him away. My buddy, Yeah, we scuffled. My buddies
656
01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:27.320
pulled me away, and I remember
yelling at him, don't ever mess with
657
01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:30.920
me. I'll mess up your miscaa
bitch. Okay. I want you to
658
01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:32.960
go right now to your bathroom cabinet, get your holy water and drink it,
659
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:39.719
okay, because I'm gonna throw off
probably like fourteen serves at you right
660
01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:45.679
now. We have a metal that
turned a couple of a couple of avenues.
661
01:04:46.119 --> 01:04:50.880
We went dark, and we went
thrash. So there's three types of
662
01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:56.840
metal that are going to scare you
that you're probably gonna not want your boys
663
01:04:56.920 --> 01:05:00.280
to listen to, that you're probably
gonna all want to after I give you
664
01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:05.679
these names of I will give you
three bands in the black metal, three
665
01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:13.360
bands in the dark metal. Now
Here is a band Suicidal Tendencies, kind
666
01:05:13.400 --> 01:05:18.519
of like a rap hip hop metal
band that was dynamic Los Angeles. Of
667
01:05:18.599 --> 01:05:23.920
course from the vodio. From the
street, they look like a bunch of
668
01:05:23.960 --> 01:05:28.599
homes. Suicidal Tendencies look like me
and my homies. If you want to
669
01:05:28.679 --> 01:05:31.760
picture what the chang look like and
the guys that I ran with back in
670
01:05:31.840 --> 01:05:36.559
the eighties, check out Suicidal Tendencies. We don't play no games and say
671
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:42.199
the bodio, homie, We're gonna
smash and crash brol. Here's another band,
672
01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:46.599
bro T s o L. Another
great kind of a speed metal,
673
01:05:46.719 --> 01:05:50.159
in your face street band. You
know what I mean. We're gonna We're
674
01:05:50.159 --> 01:05:56.360
gonna pass a bottle of whiskey and
share a forty ouncer. Another band that
675
01:05:56.960 --> 01:06:01.000
looked pretty but wasn't King Diamond.
He looked a little bit more eviler than
676
01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:08.119
Kiss. Now that would end kind
of my on thought of the hard rock
677
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:12.760
metal that I hung out and the
gigs I went to. But then you
678
01:06:12.840 --> 01:06:16.559
open the can like a tunic can
into these other two diverse groups and I'm
679
01:06:16.559 --> 01:06:20.840
gonna hit you real quick with black
metal. So you better have some pretty
680
01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:25.039
boyd rock and roll that is going
to be able to that's going to be
681
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:32.119
able to counterplay what I'm hitting you
with Venom, Sepultula, Sabotage, Celtic,
682
01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:38.280
Frost, Exodus, Metal Church.
Now these are bands I'm going to
683
01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:41.880
give you just real quick. We
don't have to talk about their music because
684
01:06:41.880 --> 01:06:44.960
we really don't have enough time,
but I want to get him into there
685
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:51.320
because they are the roots of the
tree of the birth and death of metal.
686
01:06:53.119 --> 01:06:56.760
If you know what I'm talking about, Overkill, Warlock, Pentagram,
687
01:06:56.920 --> 01:07:01.320
Riot, Corrosion of Conformity, Dark
Angel, my brother, you know,
688
01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:08.079
Creater destruction of course with Raven and
at Celtic Prost probably one of the greatest,
689
01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:13.599
most known besides Venom and Merciful Fate
in that realm. Then you get
690
01:07:13.679 --> 01:07:18.039
into that thrash metal, which is
all aggression Ripley brother to where a lot
691
01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:25.639
of maybe the metal movement and the
metal vibe got misconscrewed and put anger and
692
01:07:26.280 --> 01:07:29.960
frustration. Is this why you hate
Metallica so much? To me? When
693
01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:33.280
Clipburton passed away, the heart and
soul and the balls and guts of Metallica
694
01:07:33.679 --> 01:07:36.599
went away. There, I said
it. I don't know how many listeners
695
01:07:36.599 --> 01:07:42.679
are gonna hate me, but I
think true listeners and metal heads are going
696
01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:46.039
to probably say right on. Chank
for you saying that, And here a
697
01:07:46.159 --> 01:07:54.119
shout out to all my real metal
head fans and fanets. Metallica started sucking
698
01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:58.679
after Clipburton passed, Oh are you
done? Are you ready? Because I'm
699
01:07:58.679 --> 01:08:02.559
gonna mention him, really really asked, because the show is pretty much hit
700
01:08:02.679 --> 01:08:08.159
the end of the road, and
here we go faster. Pussycat. You
701
01:08:08.280 --> 01:08:13.119
still got white Snake, you still
got kicks, you still got dirty looks,
702
01:08:14.039 --> 01:08:15.479
We still got you. Want me
to hit you with more? How
703
01:08:15.520 --> 01:08:21.279
about some white lion? How about
Winger? How about how about some nitro?
704
01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:30.560
Enough enough rough cut d malls Steve
Stevens, you want gonna give you
705
01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:35.520
some more? How about this?
See I can follow you at last,
706
01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:42.840
but not least smashed gladys. All
right, So on that note, I
