1
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.640
Hey, Cokie, can you believe
this? Can you believe the noise?
2
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:17.320
The noise to some of these people. You know, we go to auditions
3
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.039
all day long. Today we did
too, We did what is that that
4
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.879
ringling brothers and bottom him buff.
You know what, Whoppie, I don't
5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.399
want to go back to doing kids
potties for jigs. Just push it top.
6
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.679
As a matter of fact, I'm
gonna have to do a line to
7
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.439
my powder because you know it's you
know, Parubia gold blue. And then
8
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.679
we go to that that one circus
vargus. I have no idea what it's
9
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.679
called. But the point is,
listen, we go do these auditions,
10
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:45.240
and what happens, nothing, not
even a call back to this respect that
11
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.119
this respect, my friend. Here's
what gets to me the most. Here
12
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.560
comes the director of the freaking circus. He says, hey, what's your
13
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.000
what's your name? You go,
I'm Coquie the clown. He says to
14
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.320
me, what's your name? I'm
Whoppo? He goes, what because you're
15
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:58.960
a good looking you know Whoppo?
No? I said, Whoppo? W
16
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.039
Op? Oh you know, I'll
whop. I'm a freak and whop.
17
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.599
You know I'm telling you we're gonna
go back to a time where everybody was
18
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.120
equal. As a matter of fact, I think we got a trial run
19
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.799
and we're gonna be doing some kind
of a shouldn't the kids and the piptieth
20
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:19.680
anniversary of all the clowns back over
a rino, Hey, whoopo those people
21
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.120
over there and looking at us?
What are you looking at over there?
22
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:23.439
Hey? Put your window up,
roll it up. I got a nice
23
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.680
pick in my back seat right here. He's what the director of circus Vargus
24
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.120
told me, what do you do
for the kids? And I said,
25
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.200
look, I do all kinds of
balloon animals, all right. I do
26
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.200
jaguars, you know, I do
rhinoceros, and that's it. But what
27
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.079
I do my speciality, my speciality. The kids love them. I do
28
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.640
guns. I do grenades. I
do AK forty seven's. You know that's
29
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.079
not real popular today anyway, but
you know, hey, what are you
30
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.280
gonna do that? And he didn't
want me. You don't want me,
31
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.000
he said, no, we don't
do that kind of stuff anymore. He
32
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.640
goes and tells me, he goes, okay, cook, what kind of
33
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.079
tricks do you do? And I
go, I'm a magician, and He
34
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.799
goes, you're Aian. That's what
I said. I make things disappear.
35
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.400
He goes, what can you make
disappear? I make Grahams disappear, bones,
36
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.960
Klo's bounces, whatever you want to
make magically God. And you know
37
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.080

51
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.480
by John Cells. You're listening to
Back to the Eighties. John Cells debut
52
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.279
forty five with Oh the Red Vinyl
forty five has proven to be one of
53
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.839
the most collectible and popular records from
the Colorado late seventies new wave era,
54
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.920
and their debut single was released in
the summer of seventy nine. A big
55
00:05:34.000 --> 00:06:03.279
thanks to force Field Studios and Catherine
Levine, the creative director Sack WHOA You
56
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:08.360
are listening to Back to the Eighties
Radios soon launching on k Hits ninety two
57
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.560
five online and around the world.
This is the show that brings back the
58
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.360
eighties to a whole new generation.
We're reminiscing on the memories that made that
59
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:20.160
generation so awesome. We're here every
single Friday, and I want to keep
60
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.040
reminding you to like our Facebook page, drop us a note and let us
61
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.040
know what topics from the eighties that
you want to hear. The other thing
62
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.040
that, of course, myself and
Chang are going to ask that you subscribe
63
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.240
to our show and leave us a
comment on whatever platform you listen to,
64
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.040
because it really does help us out
today. Thank you. For joining us.
65
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.000
As we finish up our crews around
the eighties of rock and metal,
66
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.600
we're gonna be talking about the most
popular bands that were responsible for so many
67
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:55.879
eighties and nineties babies being born.
Now with me today as he is every
68
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:01.279
single Friday, is a man that
was scene secretly entering the White House when
69
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:09.120
Ronald Reagan was gone and Nancy was
left all alone. His collection of spandex
70
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:14.959
rivals those of Bret Michaels and Poison
and Nicki six during the Girls, Girls,
71
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:19.160
Girls tours of nineteen eighty seven.
We here at Back to the Eighties
72
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.319
call him the Chang. Hello,
everybody, it is I the Chang,
73
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:29.399
the legend in my own mind,
another Friday rendition of Back to the Eighties.
74
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.360
Besides my favorite to tell you,
besides ship Boyard Tusky, tuscanoll,
75
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:38.879
how the hell is everybody out there? The eighties rock revolution. That's what
76
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.000
we're talking about today. And if
he just joined us, you have missed
77
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.759
two shows that have been incredible for
us because we have learned a lot.
78
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.399
I particularly learned a lot because I
learned that Chang is a hater, even
79
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:54.360
more than I already knew he was
a hater. Oh, do you know
80
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.879
you're also a hater? Is No? I am not that much of a
81
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.519
hater, and you gotta admit you're
much more of a hater a minute.
82
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.480
I hate them B fifty twos,
but that's probably not a Catholic priest behind
83
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.959
in a little booth with a scartron
front where you can lie in make up
84
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.639
stories just so you can go sit
in your married best in p. Nineteen,
85
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.959
I know you were a hater.
You hate just like me. Now
86
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.600
there's a couple more bands that that
I didn't really care for, but I
87
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:30.160
don't hate y. Yeah, that's
taking a little bit overboard for me this
88
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.000
show. This is what makes it
great about the show, and what makes
89
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.240
it great about all eighties fans is
that we all have our opinion, we
90
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.279
all have our different tastes in music. And here's what was fantastic about the
91
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.440
eighties. There was so much variety. The eighties proved to be a massive
92
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.159
rock domination time. You know,
it was hair metal, glam rock,
93
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.200
new wave that was opening doors for
for a bunch of new artists to come
94
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.879
and and also providing inspiration for those
acts that were already established, you know,
95
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:05.360
bringing technology into the scene. With
digital synthesizers, programmable drum machine,
96
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:11.399
sequencers. It all became a commonplace. Eighties rock, eighties metal. There
97
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.360
was just so much of it,
and it was all different. Everything was
98
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:20.000
different now, Toscano, we you
know, not only metal, but rock
99
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:26.519
and roll at its whole monster back
in the eighties kind of branched off like
100
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.960
a tree a plant to weed.
It rooted all over and sprout out in
101
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.720
different looks. You had the rock
and roll, you know, bands like
102
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:41.000
were categorized as metals such as Rush, Triumph, Van Halen, Guns and
103
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.799
Roses, to where if you break
it down to the essence, their pure
104
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.320
rock and roll such as The Who, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones.
105
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.320
You know, they're not metal at
all. They just have the big bang
106
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:01.600
and the big sound. Areo Speedwagon
Sticks Run Rush had such a powerful sound
107
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.720
in the eighties, but not metal, not cerebral rock, but a rock
108
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.360
and roll that's going to kick your
ass. You had dire straits, your
109
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:18.159
favorites like Poison themselves. Which are
your darn favorites? Well that's glad metal
110
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.000
wooseee metal? Oh did I say
that? Yeah? Yeah. The eighties
111
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:28.440
were filled with so much variety,
and that's what makes this decade so awesome
112
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:33.960
for so many generations to come.
Like I mentioned many times in different programs,
113
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.879
eighties music, eighties rock, even
eighties metal. You can still hear
114
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.759
it in new movies of today.
The one that rings probably the loudest in
115
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.600
my ear is from the movies Iron
Man. They're playing Black Sabbath from the
116
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.159
seventies. That's why I'm saying,
this is music that formed generations. It's
117
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:58.279
also turned, I believe, like
the children to listening to rock and roll,
118
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.279
opening their ears to rock and roll. Marble has a great job incorporating
119
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:09.919
old rock from the eighties and the
seventies into their movies that coincide with the
120
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.480
action going on, which is great
because it does bring back to nostalgia.
121
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:20.519
You'll see kids now with black Sabbage
shirts you would have never seen before in
122
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.399
our era. You know, my
parents would have never ever let me wear
123
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:30.840
a black Sabbage shirt. But Mama
Chang did allow me to wear a Beatles
124
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.440
in the Hendrick shirt under my Catholic
white shirts when I went to Catholic school,
125
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.919
probably at the age of nine and
up. No, it was it
126
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.879
was just it was phenomenal. I'm
I'm gonna show you something right now.
127
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.960
So I called my son in,
my seventeen year old son, Daniel,
128
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.679
who is going to show you through
the camera here his newest acquisition to his
129
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.120
closet. Yeah, we went to
the mall for the first time in a
130
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:01.159
long time, and we decided to
go to one of the mall's my parents
131
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.279
used to take me in the eighties
and it's situated in Orange County and it's
132
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.799
called the Breya Mall. So we
went to the Brea Mall and we happen
133
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:15.879
to drop by Spencers. My son
bought nineteen eighty one tour of Journey shirts,
134
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:22.879
so now he's on the Neil Shawn
experience. Neil Sean came about with
135
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:28.759
Journey from Santana. That's why he
was very excited to find a Journey shirt
136
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.559
with the year nineteen eighty one tour
printed on it. So, and it's
137
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.080
exciting as a dad because you know, parents nowadays, they'll listen to their
138
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:45.399
kids call their music, you know, the parents music old and kind of
139
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.519
insult our music. And I'm just
very fortunate that they decided on their own.
140
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.960
We didn't make them, uh,
you know, listen to to eighties
141
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.559
music. A matter of fact that
they were listening to a little bit of
142
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:03.039
night Ranger and one of your bud
He's posted on Facebook that to mention night
143
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:09.440
Ranger, which is formed in nineteen
seventy nine in San Francisco. It has
144
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.720
some really great hits like you can
still rock in America, sing me Away
145
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.120
Goodbye when you close your eyes,
so all the way from j Yes Sister
146
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.840
Christian from nineteen eighty three on I
mean, what a great band night Ranger.
147
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.080
Yeah. I remember checking that band
out man, when they came to
148
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.759
LA and I tripped out in the
lead singer he was like maybe the size
149
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:35.279
of maybe like a thirteen year old
teenager. The guy could whale it man.
150
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.919
You know, they were a pretty
cool band, you know. I
151
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:43.240
think my favorite track that band was
Sister christ and that's the probably the most
152
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:48.320
popular song that they play on radio
today from that band. Now, Tascannell,
153
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.639
I gotta ask you, as we
dive into this era rock and roll,
154
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.960
just as we skip away from metal, I've got to put it up
155
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:03.159
for Van Hayden and Heroes probably two
of my favorite or two of the best
156
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:11.519
hard rock and non netal bands of
the eighties. Both of them had multiple
157
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:20.960
albums put out in the eighties.
Both of them had dynamic all multitalented members
158
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:26.519
of each band every album. Who
could top that type of plateau back then.
159
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.159
Let's take for example, Aerosmith.
Oh my gosh, let's go back
160
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.000
to about nineteen eighty two with rock
and a hard plays, I mean,
161
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.360
the original the original fivesome. All
right, They're reunited a couple of years
162
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.639
later or a few years later for
a tour in nineteen eighty five, which
163
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:48.440
was pretty much underappreciated with Done with
Mirrors. Unfortunately, it wasn't until all
164
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.559
the way two years later nineteen eighty
seven, with Permanent Vacation, that they
165
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:58.399
became once again those mega superstars.
And then obviously in nineteen eighty nine with
166
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.159
the follow up album Pump Yeah,
Errol Smith Is It's a trippy band.
167
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.720
You know, they had their inner
problems. They separated for a while.
168
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.720
I believe they made an album without
Steven Tyler. Other bands I think in
169
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.360
the eighties that brought that powerhouse bands
like Rush a backdout of Canada three piece,
170
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.840
which, by the way, I
think my opinion, bro, don't
171
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.159
even remember we talk about being hater? Are you ready for ready for some
172
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.600
hate on my behalf yeah, Rich, I think Rush is overrated. But
173
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.840
hold on, hold on, hold
your thought, hold your thought. Let
174
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.159
me let me mention something about van
Halen because I love van Halen all right.
175
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:46.440
They dominated throughout the eighties, right, and between eighty and eighty eight,
176
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:52.679
van Halen released no less than six
different multi platinum albums. Not only
177
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.720
that, but they did it with
two different lead singers, David Lee Roth
178
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:00.799
and Sammy Hagar in nineteen eighty five. Now, if I would have been
179
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:07.960
able to finish my just well,
you gotta hate you start talking about the
180
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:14.480
under the overrated band Rush. I
can't believe you're a hater of Rush.
181
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.639
Oh yeah, you know what.
There's a lot of people going, you
182
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.279
know, what's threw that guy?
What else is he gonna say? Yeah?
183
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.039
Yeah, well how about the band
Triumph? Now? I saw Triumph
184
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:32.240
play at the festival like the Metal
Day, But to me, Triumph was
185
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:37.039
not at all medal right to me, they were like they were like Rush.
186
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:42.039
Yes, hate some more No,
because Triumph. I like their sound
187
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:48.000
better. I like the lead singer's
vocals much better. And the plus they're
188
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.480
Canadian? What's not to like?
That's true? They you know the what's
189
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:56.879
funny is they called Pam Bacon.
I'll just leave that there. I mean,
190
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:03.279
these bands had a lot of work
done in the seventies, so there,
191
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:06.680
you know, it's like a seventies
eighties band rather than a full bloon
192
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.640
formed in the eighties and kind of
died in the eighties too. You know,
193
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:17.200
you have bands like Sticks Queen.
What are you gonna say about Queen's
194
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:21.000
music in the eighties. They are
a band from the seventies, but they
195
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:26.839
transcended, just like David Bowie transcended
into a different style, a different sound
196
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:32.039
in the eighties, so did Queen. So yeah, but Queen, See
197
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.440
you're talking about these bands like,
for example, Queen, let's say Queen.
198
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:41.960
Queen is probably my number two band
ever, Okay, number two most
199
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:47.599
favorite band. I love every single
song, every single song that Queen has.
200
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:52.920
I like everybody. The music is
just it's transcendent. Their music goes
201
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:59.440
beyond years. So it was ahead
of its time back then. And the
202
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.240
funny thing with Queen is their music
is ahead of its time now, if
203
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.799
that may even make sense. I
was just going to I was just going
204
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.720
to add that before you stated that, and you hit it before I could,
205
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:17.279
So I commend you you're listening to
Back to the Eighties. This is

just Scanna from just Kino and Chang. We'll be right back. Don't go
207
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.319

way back. Hey by pals Tskano and
208
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.279

your mind at East Chang gets here to
218
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:51.359
please. That was the ever so
great rush with spirit. You were back
219
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.559
on Eat Tack with Toscato and chag
at Back to the eighties. Toscanto,
220
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:03.240
did you feel did you feel that
power full mucle pounding and energy in your
221
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:10.559
ears as you listen to the great
three piece Rest in peace. Neil pr
222
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:14.680
professor of the drums of Rush.
I know you felt it, you know,
223
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.359
every time I hear this is what
I felt. I felt cerebral fluid
224
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:25.640
coming out of my ears as my
ears started bleeding because I can't stand Rush.
225
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.079
And it's like, you know,
here's here's my best example of how
226
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.599
when I listen to Rush, how
it sounds like to me. Just picture
227
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:41.440
in your mind all the demonic forces
of hell getting drunk and vomiting at once,
228
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:48.279
heating up their regurgitation and vomiting up
all at once one more time.
229
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:55.640
That doesn't even compare of what I
think of Rush. Oh my god.
230
00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:00.000
And this coming from a man that
would light a bigger fighter at a cure
231
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:11.400
concert if he wrote us on a
trust up like saw them like This from
232
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:17.400
a man that thinks Kip Winger can
play guitar. This from a man that
233
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:26.880
thinks, listen that the greatest band
of all time is Poison. No,
234
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.519
not Poison, it's you two.
Oh that's right, you two. Now
235
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:37.039
there's another band of rock and roll
essence and rock and roll royalty. You
236
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:42.160
two created great music in the eighties. I love them. For example,
237
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:47.839
Journey. Journey is a band that
started in the seventies and they went on
238
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.960
in the eighties, and I love
Journey. They changed vocals, they changed
239
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:59.640
lead singers, so of course they
became somewhat of a different band. You
240
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:04.720
could say the same a Black Sabbath
once Ozzy left. Ozzy was known for
241
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:12.359
the seventies intro to metal of Black
Sabbath. Ronnie James Deal, previously of
242
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:22.440
Elf Rainbow, came in took him
to a heavy metal experience above and beyond
243
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:29.119
blues metal, but kind of a
cathedral metal. Then he later on went
244
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:37.160
into Deal which it transcended into its
metal kind of the encyclopedia the Tattoo on
245
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:45.359
Metal. So a forced journey with
a great lyricist as Steve Perry. They
246
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:52.559
became epically known the Bad Thing Jonathan
Kane playing a keyboard like a guitar that
247
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.720
was gay. Oh my gosh,
and there it is. I knew it
248
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:02.640
was coming out from around the world, or at least this following band gets
249
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:07.079
the most votes of being the greatest
band of the eighties. Now I'm gonna
250
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.759
mention this band to you once again. I don't really agree, but in
251
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.119
a way, in a way,
I can understand where they're coming from.
252
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.440
All right, here we go.
It's an American band, all right.
253
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.839
They rocketed to the front of the
pack, largely on the strength of just
254
00:23:22.079 --> 00:24:00.640
one studio album. Appetite for this
structures whatever you may need, Yes,
255
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:06.279
great bat Jack, asleite singer pans
he asked though a cigarette, my Chuck
256
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:11.519
Taylor Kirk call, oh my gosh. Yeah, So I'm talking about none
257
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.880
other than guns and Roses. And
of course nineteen eighty eight was their biggest
258
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:22.200
year. Have you seen Axel Rose? Somebody and one of the eighties fan
259
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:27.319
clubs or groups on Facebook posted a
picture of Axel Rose next to the old
260
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.920
lady from Throw Mama Off the Train. You know what, Honestly, I'm
261
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:36.400
not lying. I did not know
it was Axel Rose. I literally thought
262
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:38.960
it was just some poor old lady. I had no idea it was Axel
263
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.079
Rose. I just I couldn't.
I couldn't believe it. I'd not want
264
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:49.599
to mock on aging process in any
way to anyone, but Axel Rose,
265
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:56.440
I believe, was so full of
himself and so unappreciative at a certain time
266
00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:03.400
of his wealth, his fans,
kind of his duty as a rock and
267
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:11.559
roll singer role model to maybe some
then as the way he looks now is
268
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:17.759
because of his self loathing and his
ego ate up his soul. So when
269
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:23.559
you're ugly on the inside and pretending
to be something on the outside, it's
270
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:29.440
like John Lennon said, instant karma
is going to get you, all right.
271
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:33.240
So here's another band I'm gonna surprise
you with because a lot of people
272
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.920
you will not consider it. Probably
it's off course not metal, but it
273
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:42.440
is rock. It's a Swedish band
that was formed in nineteen seventy nine.
274
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:49.279
As well the main vocalist Joey Tempest, the guitarist Joe Norham, bass guitarist
275
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:57.000
Peter Olsen and the drummer Tony Reno. Now this band by nineteen eighty two.
276
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:02.839
That was their major breakthrough because this
band came up with a song that
277
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.680
is played all over the world,
and they had many number one hits,
278
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:27.799
including Carrie and including the Final Countdown
none other than Europe. You know what,
279
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:33.440
I thought, that's the whole reason
I'll never visit Europe. Oh my
280
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:38.599
gosh, the great band. I
had to bring him up Look, if
281
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:45.119
you brought up Billie Squire was going
to he's a rock musician, arena arena
282
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:49.680
rock, power ballads, you know
that type of hit. But his what
283
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:53.039
is he best known for? What
the song the Stroke nineteen eighty one,
284
00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:00.960
Don't say No Stroke? Yeah,
yeah, get a number by anyway?
285
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:04.200
You know that Christmas song that was
done with all the metal bands. Oh,
286
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:10.000
yes, I remember, Yeah,
it was like Christmas is the time
287
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:15.480
abuse, I love you? And
he and he did have he did have
288
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.039
quite a head of hair, didn't
he. Yeah, he did have some
289
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.920
nice hair. I could see.
He reminded me of what was the Queen's
290
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.680
guitarist, Oh, Brian May,
Yeah, Brian. He ruined me of
291
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:32.480
Brian May's hair. He had hair
to me that reminded me of Elizabeth Shoe.
292
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.960
I will just put that out there
now. How about if I bring
293
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.400
up this band from the eighties,
the Pretenders. They're not new wave,
294
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:47.759
categorized as new wave, but not
ass kicking, solid rock and roll in
295
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:52.559
your face. Another great band.
Heart evolved like what I think seventy eight,
296
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.880
seventy nine, then into the eighties, but then the eighties they kind
297
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.119
of slipped into two. Both of
them look like really hot metal chicks,
298
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:06.640
like dressed like queens, and they
got really soft tempoed, you know.
299
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:10.519
So in the eighties they kind of
like they were getting played on. Kiss
300
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:15.440
at them in southern California. We'll
look at four time Grammy winning, six
301
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:22.319
time platinum, four gold albums,
Pat Benatar, you know, Heartbreaker,
302
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.240
Fire and Ice, Treat Me Right, you know, Hit Me with your
303
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:29.519
best shot, Hell Is for Children, Chatters of the Ninth too, and
304
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:33.559
then list goes on in Anne.
You know what, they were a powerhouse
305
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.119
bro Shields, and you know what's
crazy, they were a married couple,
306
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:42.319
so I think that added to their
intellect and they're they're feeding off each other
307
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:48.720
and knowing each other too. They
could just create a powerhouse. I mean
308
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:53.640
Neil Giraldo, her husband, and
Pat Benatar totally badass through the eighties.
309
00:28:55.160 --> 00:29:00.599
They opened the door for a lot
of pretty much badass chicks that would evolved.
310
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:04.160
Jone Jet another rock and roll chick, not metal, but from the
311
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:07.960
Runaways. You know, she came
out bold and strong in the eighties.
312
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:14.240
You know another great band we talked
about, remember Missing Persons. They were
313
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:17.960
kind of voted in as a new
way. But remember that other band,
314
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.960
that was kind of new way,
but not the motels of powerhouse rock band
315
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.839
back into the end. And also
what about another band formed in nineteen seventy
316
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:37.119
six in the UK, and that's
Foreigner. Oh dude, yeah, I
317
00:29:44.559 --> 00:30:03.079
watch Shot get the Shot. The
Foreigner was a great band. And here's
318
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.559
one of the great things that I
love from not only Foreigner, but there's
319
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.640
many bands like them that they still
maintained that same sound. Their frontman can
320
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:18.759
still reach those notes. Man,
I really enjoy their music. Here's another
321
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:34.000
band, brother that started in the
seventies, Pink Floyd. No, it's
322
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:59.759
just even long after where David Gilmour
took the vocals when Roger Waters departed Pink
323
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.119
to go on his own and then
to stand to be corrected. In the
324
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:08.680
later eighties, you had Roger Waters
out there performing and you had Pink Floyd
325
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:17.119
with David gilmore leads singing at Pink
Floyd at the same time. So there's
326
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:23.559
another band that transcended with both vocalists
in the eighties at different times. Yep.
327
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:27.400
And you know, one of Pink
Floyd's songs, another Brick in the
328
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:33.279
Wall, became twice or three times
as more popular in the eighties as well
329
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:41.599
because of MTV. Yes, I
remember going to the Walk in theater and
330
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:48.079
watching the Wall. Back in the
eighties, I go to La Puente and
331
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.279
go to the theater there, you
know what I mean. In at twelve
332
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:55.599
o'clock party out in the parking lot
was kind of like a party zone,
333
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:59.119
like you were at a concert,
a tailgate party of a sporting event.
334
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.839
People be getting together, cranking on
music, hanging out in mini trucks,
335
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.759
pumping kegs and waiting for the midnight
show. You go in there and check
336
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:13.519
out the wall. So the eighties
we had Bruce Springsteen. He evolved in
337
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.559
the eighties. It's another different type
of rock and roll. You know that
338
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:22.839
that took us to another different element
and a different path in rock. My
339
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:27.759
brother, Yeah, and what about
the English hard rock band founded by David
340
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:31.319
Coverdale, You know he David Coverdale, formerly of Deep Purple, who is
341
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:35.960
White and White Snake. That's another
band, bro that I tripped out.
342
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:40.319
They got categorized as glam metal,
but yeah, they looked at for the
343
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:45.079
video. But that was a band
that I didn't think was metal. I
344
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:51.920
put them more of a more of
a ballad, softer, more of an
345
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:59.440
emotional cerebral rock and roll. Anytime
you utilize great vocal range and you bring
346
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:07.119
it in with the type bluesy rock
or melodic type sounds with keyboards, you
347
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:12.200
kind of evolve into something else.
You could go to the grounds of cerebral
348
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:19.079
rock, similar to were Pink Void
touched. But it's in its own essence
349
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.799
of a rock, which I thought
was kind of cheap to put it in
350
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:28.240
glam metal only because the way they
changed their looking, their fashion to be
351
00:33:28.440 --> 00:34:04.160
played on TV. Walk Down,
Going Down. I was walking along and
352
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:08.039
you know what chang For those of
you who are interested and love White Snake.
353
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:14.079
In twenty twenty, that released the
rock album you know, remixed remastered
354
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:19.079
versions of their best rock songs.
They released CD and here's the best part
355
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:23.599
for all who love vinyl. It
was released on a white vinyl on June
356
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:28.480
nineteenth of twenty twenties. So you
can you can reach out and catch the
357
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.039
vinyl, catch the CD of White
Snake. Go out, go out and
358
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:36.639
do it. Maintain the rock alive. This is back to the eighties.
359
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:40.880
We're talking about rock, metal and
everything across the board. We're gonna be
360
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:45.719
right back or we're gonna continue the
madness of Tuskana and and Chang. Who
361
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:52.000
knows, you might even hear a
hater or two. You're listening to back
362
00:34:52.079 --> 00:35:25.239
to the eighties and now back to
the eighties with Toscato and Chang. You're
363
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:29.320
listening to back to the eighties Toscano
from Toscato and Chang, and that was
364
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:34.039
Starship with we Built this City now
Chang. And for those of you who
365
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.159
don't know Starship is it is the
name of more than one artist, believe
366
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:42.119
it or not. All right there. It's a rock pop band. It's
367
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:46.400
a transact UK power pop and a
techhouse group, believe it or not,
368
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:52.880
and also a seventies rock band with
Mickey Dolan's. But the band we're talking
369
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:58.440
about here is, of course the
band that comes out with two of the
370
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:02.440
most famous songs and played songs,
which is we built the City and Nothing's
371
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:06.840
gonna stop us. Now. Personally, I like a song called Sarah.
372
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:09.360
Which song do you like? King? No, No, wait a minute,
373
00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:13.159
no, wait a minute, now, wait a minute. You have
374
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:16.079
to listen to me. This is
going to get brutal. It goes against
375
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:23.639
everything. Why do you christianly believe
in that I should not say about any
376
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:30.440
Wow, So you don't. I
just played it because this is what people
377
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:36.000
have been requesting as well, to
hear a little bit of us mentioning the
378
00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:37.880
bands, and you know we have
to mention them all. I agree.
379
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:44.039
We will mention every band that we
can in the time frame that we are
380
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:46.719
here at, back to the eighties. But every now and then one of
381
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:52.360
us is going to throw a band
out that's going to get under our skin,
382
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:58.920
kind of like Scathies, kind of
like egg Sama. Now this band,
383
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:01.840
Oh my god, this bad.
So let's move on and I'll mention
384
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:06.119
another band right now that I know
you're gonna like. They were formed in
385
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:13.400
La the city that we of course
belong to, Los Angeles, and they
386
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:16.440
obviously were. They were formed in
nineteen seventy eight, and they had some
387
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:22.119
some good hits in particularly one.
But the band I'm talking about, wait
388
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:25.639
a minute, I don't like the
way you say so you already started it.
389
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.800
Huh you say that, You say
that like a caucase. Here we
390
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:37.599
go. The song I'm thinking that
became their most famous hit is once Bitten
391
00:37:37.280 --> 00:38:10.519
Twice shy, and I'm talking about
none other than Great White. Now,
392
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:14.719
Great White, bro, great band. I thought back in the eighties.
393
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:16.199
I remember listening to them, you
know what I mean, k and AC.
394
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:22.320
They really got huge on K and
AC, but they got their notoriety
395
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:29.960
laid on Klosh when KLS was banging
in the eighties with their metal show that
396
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:34.079
they were playing. I think it
was at ten o'clock too, maybe one,
397
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:38.280
maybe two o'clock, I remember if
I remember right. But Great White
398
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:44.480
was a band that they kind of
said was similar to Zebra in the eighties,
399
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:50.960
going to be the next led Zeppelin
sounding group. Now Jack Russell,
400
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:54.239
you know, just like every band
in the eighties went through their own crap,
401
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:59.360
you know, dope, alcohol,
egos got in the way, so
402
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:04.320
half for the members bailed somewhere else, he bailed somewhere else, you know,
403
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:09.000
he got booted out. Legal legalities
get into it. So both both
404
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:15.559
parties, both the similar, both
parties of the creators of that band got
405
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:19.920
the rights and carried that band into
their own. But I thought Great White
406
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:23.159
was not a metal band, not
a glamm band, but a rock and
407
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:28.519
roll band. And I just think
because of the drugs, alcohol and Eagles
408
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.880
kind of screwed them up. So
they really got notoriety. Nice one for
409
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:38.079
you, that's like me and you
going to a racquet ball game right there,
410
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:42.039
and you threw that son of a
gun right up the back wall,
411
00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:45.159
the left wall and the ceiling at
me, and I had to try to
412
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:50.239
counter and I barely got it over
the line. On you nice, You
413
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:52.360
did, you did, and you
were not a bounds. You were in
414
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:57.000
bounds, all right. So what
about Eddy Money? Talk to me about
415
00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:00.280
Eddy Money, because Any Money was
you know, here's the guy that one
416
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:07.760
of the guys with his band that
became huge because of MTV. Well that's
417
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.360
because he had that hot chick,
that good lord. When I seen her,
418
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:13.400
I was like, man, if
I would have met that chick on
419
00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:19.239
cruising night on what your Boulevard on
Sunday night back in the days in Eastlows,
420
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.960
man, I would have been chewing
on that home girl's neck all night.
421
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:28.119
She's the one on the video that
made that cat that cash Any Money
422
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:32.719
on that video looked like he had
a he had a seizure. If he
423
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:37.679
doesn't self shaken put the chick on
the video. That that chick was like
424
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:42.679
old school, correct, we remember? And you know, speaking of Edny
425
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:45.800
Money. Though I preferred instead of
taking me home tonight, I preferred two
426
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:51.079
tickets to Paradise from him. I
prefer not hearing him at all. Yeah,
427
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:53.280
I bet you did. All right, I'm going to hit you with
428
00:40:53.400 --> 00:41:00.519
a band that I know for a
fact that you will like and that you
429
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:05.960
have nothing but good things to say
of this band that you That's a great
430
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:09.840
band right there. That is probably
one of the greatest rock and roll bands
431
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:15.880
in pure essence at every form and
sound that a rock and roll band could
432
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:22.400
create. Would be the Eagles.
You know. Sometimes they touched the bounds
433
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:25.480
of country, which is like,
yah, I was drinking beer, I
434
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:29.840
could get into it. But other
than that, it was like not on
435
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:32.320
airy country. But they can go
into hard rock. They can go to
436
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:45.280
kind of that down home kind of
feeling, kind of inspirational, hard driving,
437
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:50.280
low key kind of rock and roll. Then they could come out with
438
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:53.519
you know, Hotel California, make
you feel so cal all the way,
439
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:59.320
you know what I mean. Similar
to that would have probably been Chicago.
440
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:07.559
Two different eras, two different singers, two different catastrophic sounds that move people.
441
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:12.159
Speaking of Chicago, I gotta I
gotta ask you because you and me,
442
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:17.639
I like both Chicago's seventies and eighties. I love I love Peter Satera,
443
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:22.920
but you don't seem to quite share
that same taste with me. Peter
444
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:31.280
Satara took over indie Chicago group came
out pretty cool throughout the early eighties mid
445
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:37.920
eighties, but when he went solo, the content and the emotion of his
446
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:45.559
music change from what he was doing
background or side step with Chicago. Even
447
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:51.840
as he took over early Chicago,
the first two albums where it was still
448
00:42:52.039 --> 00:43:00.639
sounding Chicago Ish with different types of
storylines to their lyrics, as opposed to
449
00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:05.880
where he took up in the eighties, and he went love stream with more
450
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:09.519
of that. If you're in La
you're like, hey, everybody, you're
451
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:15.400
listening to Mark and Kim with love
songs. And to me, now,
452
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:23.400
when when Peter Sitera took Chicago to
sound like something in the elevator, I
453
00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:29.079
started sweating and panicking because I knew, even though I wasn't going for a
454
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:34.199
job interview, I was hired.
So Peter Sitera to me, remind me
455
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:37.800
of sucky elevator music there. I
said it. I said it back to
456
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:39.719
the eighties. We're gonna take a
little break. When we come back,
457
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:44.920
We've got changres. I thought that
wasn't a wind this thing down as we
458
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:50.639
continue, was rock metal and Peter
Satera. What I want to know is
459
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:54.000
why are the only funny lines on
this show the ones behind me? Hello,
460
00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:59.719
this is a doctor speaking. I
detect a large amount of social media
461
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:04.360
usage in your life once. Hence, I am recommending you go back to
462
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:14.599
the eighties. Welcome back to the
eighties. This is Siskanno from Siskato and
463
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:19.159
Chang. This is the part of
the show where we talk about what made
464
00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:22.920
us angry back in the nineteen eighties. But in honor of the most wondrous,
465
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:30.599
the most notorious Chang, we've changed
the name and now called them Changers.
466
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:37.079
So Chang, what made you changery
back in the nineteen eighties? You
467
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:42.639
know what got me changry back in
the nineteen eighties being on Sunset Strip when
468
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:49.079
some jackass flix his cigarettes at your
brand new Chuck Taylors. You know what
469
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:54.440
got being changry back in the eighties? Saskato when the Trojans would rip Ah,
470
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:59.719
you mean the team, the USC
team got it? Yeah, this
471
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:04.199
has been this week's changreis. If
you have something that drove you nuts,
472
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:07.079
made you angry back in the eighties, and you want to write to Chang
473
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:10.440
and let him know that you want
him to read your changry on the air,
474
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:15.000
Go ahead and hit up our Facebook, send us a message, and
475
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:20.480
we'll be darn sure to read your
changry on our future show. Damn straight.
476
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:22.599
Don't be afraid. Hey, if
you listen to rock and roll radio
477
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:28.199
in the eighties, then listen to
this to Scotto and Chang, they will
478
00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:44.639
transport you back in time, back
to the eighties. We're back. This
479
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:46.800
is back to the eighties, do
you know, Chang. I want to
480
00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:53.119
do something for everybody, because there's
a lot of younger people listening to our
481
00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:59.360
show, both younger millennials, millennials
that didn't get a chance, but just
482
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:04.880
to hear from their parents what it
was like to hang out, to be
483
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:08.719
a part of the rock scene.
So I want you guys listening for a
484
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:13.400
little bit, for a little while, I want you to take a ride
485
00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:17.000
with me and Chang, and we're
gonna go back to the eighties at least
486
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:22.320
in our mind right now. And
I'm gonna paint the picture briefly, and
487
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:27.480
Chang is going to be the master
mind of the master painter of this scene.
488
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:32.480
So here's the scene, and I'm
gonna tell you the year nineteen eighty
489
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:39.480
four. We're going to your choice
shang either Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard because there's
490
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:43.480
a few bands that are going to
be playing, and I want you to
491
00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:45.760
tell us what it was like or
what it would be like to go see
492
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:52.199
these bands. All right, here
we go opening up. There are three
493
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:57.480
bands total. The first two are
going to be playing some sets. The
494
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:00.519
first group is Motorhead, and then
they're gonna ease it down. They're gonna
495
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:05.079
tone it down as soon as Motorhead
stops, Motley Crue is gonna come in.
496
00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:08.559
And then when Motley Crue leaves,
they're gonna bring it in for the
497
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:15.599
Star of the Night, and of
course it's Van Halen. So I want
498
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:16.960
you to paint that picture for me, or what do you want to take
499
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:22.039
us? Hollywood Boulevard or the Sunset
Strip? And where let's stick with a
500
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:29.079
Sunset Boulevard and let me describe all
three bands, because I did go see
501
00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:34.079
all three bands in that time frame. Now, going to a Motorhead gig
502
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:38.800
is kind of priming yourself to get
into a fight. Eye to an Alley
503
00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:58.719
Star. We are out ahead,
Let play rock and roll full broadle with
504
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:07.119
adrenaline and pumping testosterone is blowing.
If you're a female going to a motorhead
505
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:10.480
gig, you've got bolts of steel. You're the type of girl that's going
506
00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:15.400
to steal a bottle of alcohol from
a liquor store. The smell of a
507
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:23.360
motorhead gig is of this leather,
alcohol, cigarettes, perfume, guy's cologne,
508
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:29.360
the scent, a little bit of
weed, the occasional whiff of a
509
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:34.519
urinal when the door gets open a
little bit too long because the screen the
510
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:39.280
spring on the door is jacked up. It's a small place. The only
511
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:45.800
ventilation is that of when the front
door opens and the back door to where
512
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:50.559
the bouncer sits to allow you to
go in and outside to smoke a cigarette,
513
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:53.280
Go get something out of your car, and then come back in the
514
00:48:53.440 --> 00:49:00.199
front and show your stamp, your
dreams getting spilled, your on a table,
515
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:06.519
nobody's sitting, Your table's getting moved. It's time to get into pitch.
516
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:09.599
So you're you're thrashing with people.
That would be a motor head gig
517
00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:16.079
In eighty four on sunset and how
much how much was? How much was
518
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:21.480
the entrance fee. You think back
then going to see these bands. You
519
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:24.920
know, back then, you can
go to a gig for maybe like fifteen
520
00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:30.119
to twenty bucks depending they were where
they were playing, you know what I
521
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:35.079
mean, maybe twenty five bucks.
A lot of times you had to go
522
00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:39.039
wait for music outlets to open up
and sell tickets. So you know,
523
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:45.800
back then, you didn't pay over
thirty bucks for a ticket depending on the
524
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:51.159
venue. So unlike today where two, three, four or five six hundred
525
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:52.719
dollars a ticket. Yeah, yeah, there was no way. Back then
526
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:55.840
it was like that, you know, because they catered to the young mind
527
00:49:55.920 --> 00:50:02.760
and they knew teenagers are either going
to get money from their parents working part
528
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:07.400
time jobs. So now or Motor
had just finished their set, there's a
529
00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:12.880
little break in between. I'm sure
what goes on in this venue. Everybody
530
00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:15.599
takes a break to get some drinks, to go to the bathroom, to
531
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:17.599
get whatever else done, to go
outside to get it, get a smoke,
532
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:23.519
paint us that picture, and then
you hear the sound of the announcement
533
00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:46.119
that it's Motley Crew are usually when
they would do a gig like that.
534
00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:50.840
Yeah, like you said, everybody
takes that brief moment to go do whatever
535
00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:53.559
they got to do. You know, get loaded, get loose, get
536
00:50:53.639 --> 00:51:00.159
some drinks, air out, flirt
with somebody that caught your attention, you
537
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:04.760
know name, bring your table party
into a bigger magnitude. You meet up
538
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:07.800
with friends that during the gig couldn't
get to where you're at. Everybody kind
539
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:12.440
of gathers up and groups up.
You know, everybody's you know, getting
540
00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:15.639
ready and you're all pumped up with
the next band. Usually after that,
541
00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:20.400
you know, the lights are out. You start seeing lights, You see
542
00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:29.199
things changing on stage. You start
hearing hearing the intro of the other band
543
00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:32.440
as they're testing their equipment. Every
sitting on the lights kind of come on.
544
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:37.039
People are starting to cheer, people
are starting to get all crazy,
545
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:40.480
all the attentions forward to the stage. You know, people are kind of
546
00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:46.480
a little bit more subdued in the
transition of Motorhead to Motley Crue. So
547
00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:50.280
in the transition, everybody does that. You know, you gotta do what
548
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:52.679
you gotta do to get settled.
So when the next band comes out,
549
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:57.519
you got Motley Crewe coming out,
so you're going to see more the chick
550
00:51:57.679 --> 00:52:04.480
radius grab it and try and send
to the front of the venue. So
551
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:07.760
you're going to see a lot of
hot metal chicks, a lot of leathers,
552
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:14.360
fandex other kind of promiscuous outfits.
So yeah, Motley Crewe would bring
553
00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:17.519
out the chicks in the forefront,
pretty dudes that were their boyfriends or that
554
00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:23.360
just dated them. People would pretty
much be headbanging standing rather than in a
555
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:29.079
pit. So it would be a
trip. You know, the bathrooms were
556
00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:32.519
chaotic. You could open up the
bathrooms and both of the bathrooms would open
557
00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:37.199
up and you smell Opwinette cologne,
perfume. You know what I mean,
558
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:42.880
you got both. You got like
mountains of people standing in front of a
559
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:50.559
prinking mirror playing with their hair.
It was insane. Less cigarette, more
560
00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:54.840
sweetness in the air. If you
can dig that vibe, no, dig
561
00:52:54.880 --> 00:53:00.679
it completely dig it. Now there's
the time. Here comes a time Motley
562
00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:04.480
Crew just ended their last song,
they go on another break. What happens
563
00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:09.920
on this transition before the main band
comes on, and that is Van Halen.
564
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:17.159
Now, usually after a gig with
like Motley Crewe, people would hook
565
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:20.800
up. You know what I mean, you bet your scam for the night.
566
00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:23.519
Either both of you are going to
get a room somewhere on the strip,
567
00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:28.480
or you're going to hook a bit
at somebody's pat or even rent a
568
00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:31.400
room somewhere on this drip, which
is totally kill her to do, and
569
00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:37.880
a great memory that would usually happen
after a Motley Crew, you would see
570
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:43.920
maybe some people that would not be
of the motorhead type or the motley crew
571
00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:47.440
type kind of fade out. You
would see the later crowd rushing into the
572
00:53:47.559 --> 00:53:52.920
gig that was outside in line that
came just a CVH, So you would
573
00:53:52.960 --> 00:54:00.679
see kind of an interchange of the
atmosphere and the fan type and the looking
574
00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:07.039
that have come in a triple threat
of that band type with all three of
575
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:14.519
band playing then catering to three different
types of rock and rollers. Van Hayden
576
00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:22.960
would probably bring in some older cats
party time as kicking hardcore, seventies neighborhood
577
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:28.760
party rock and roll, la rock
and roll, you know, the kind
578
00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:30.840
of rock and roll. We're like, We're not going to take no crap
579
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:35.639
from no pretty metal head. We're
not going to take no crap from somebody
580
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:37.960
that's gotten the pit. You know. We come up from the old school.
581
00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:42.960
We're cruising in cars, we're picking
up on chicks, we're looking the
582
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:45.599
way we do. If you've got
a problem, that's Muhammad at lead up,
583
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:51.639
and you would probably have two different
type kicks, because I think any
584
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:59.400
chick that would dig sexiness in Motorhead
and Motley Crue is definitely gonna find sexiness
585
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:06.239
in Alex van Halen. You know
that badass drummer dude that hid behind the
586
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:08.800
shades, cut up like Bruce Lee, you know what I mean, the
587
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:15.039
wavy hair Eddie van Halen, Eddie
van Haydn had the hair of the god
588
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:20.440
could play. And if Eddie van
Halen could play any woman like he did
589
00:55:20.639 --> 00:55:24.800
in guitar, Eddie van Halen had
to have at least ten thousand women.
590
00:55:25.280 --> 00:55:35.760
Then with Diamond Dave, the magical, sensational Frank Sinatra of Martial Arts and
591
00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:44.320
Malibu looking Huntington beach beach boy ass
kicking rock and roll La Street kind of
592
00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:49.159
dude. And then with Michael Anthony. Michael Anthony looked like the kind of
593
00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:53.920
guy that like lifted weights, played
sports, rock and rolled hard, served,
594
00:55:55.760 --> 00:56:01.679
built cars, boxed, arm wrestled, So bad Halen gig would be
595
00:56:02.320 --> 00:56:08.320
totally sexually geared up on one thing, hardcore. Everybody's out for one thing.
596
00:56:08.480 --> 00:56:13.599
Let's have a good time. It's
going to be pure, no holds
597
00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:20.559
barred rock and roll, beauty,
all American, no leather, none of
598
00:56:20.639 --> 00:56:25.440
the prettiness, just rock and roll. So that's how that night would end.
599
00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:30.320
And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is what the eighties was all about.
600
00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:35.760
There were some that have those memories
and can describe it just like Chang
601
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:37.440
did today. I want to thank
you guys for joining us here and back

why we do this and I want you

612
00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:43.320
aa, and to all my homies
in the loudio or a ba
1
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.640
Hey, Cokie, can you believe
this? Can you believe the noise?
2
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:17.320
The noise to some of these people. You know, we go to auditions
3
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.039
all day long. Today we did
too, We did what is that that
4
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.879
ringling brothers and bottom him buff.
You know what, Whoppie, I don't
5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.399
want to go back to doing kids
potties for jigs. Just push it top.
6
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.679
As a matter of fact, I'm
gonna have to do a line to
7
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.439
my powder because you know it's you
know, Parubia gold blue. And then
8
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.679
we go to that that one circus
vargus. I have no idea what it's
9
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.679
called. But the point is,
listen, we go do these auditions,
10
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:45.240
and what happens, nothing, not
even a call back to this respect that
11
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.119
this respect, my friend. Here's
what gets to me the most. Here
12
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.560
comes the director of the freaking circus. He says, hey, what's your
13
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.000
what's your name? You go,
I'm Coquie the clown. He says to
14
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.320
me, what's your name? I'm
Whoppo? He goes, what because you're
15
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:58.960
a good looking you know Whoppo?
No? I said, Whoppo? W
16
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.039
Op? Oh you know, I'll
whop. I'm a freak and whop.
17
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.599
You know I'm telling you we're gonna
go back to a time where everybody was
18
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.120
equal. As a matter of fact, I think we got a trial run
19
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.799
and we're gonna be doing some kind
of a shouldn't the kids and the piptieth
20
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:19.680
anniversary of all the clowns back over
a rino, Hey, whoopo those people
21
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.120
over there and looking at us?
What are you looking at over there?
22
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:23.439
Hey? Put your window up,
roll it up. I got a nice
23
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.680
pick in my back seat right here. He's what the director of circus Vargus
24
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.120
told me, what do you do
for the kids? And I said,
25
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.200
look, I do all kinds of
balloon animals, all right. I do
26
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.200
jaguars, you know, I do
rhinoceros, and that's it. But what
27
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.079
I do my speciality, my speciality. The kids love them. I do
28
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.640
guns. I do grenades. I
do AK forty seven's. You know that's
29
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.079
not real popular today anyway, but
you know, hey, what are you
30
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.280
gonna do that? And he didn't
want me. You don't want me,
31
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.000
he said, no, we don't
do that kind of stuff anymore. He
32
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.640
goes and tells me, he goes, okay, cook, what kind of
33
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.079
tricks do you do? And I
go, I'm a magician, and He
34
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.799
goes, you're Aian. That's what
I said. I make things disappear.
35
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.400
He goes, what can you make
disappear? I make Grahams disappear, bones,
36
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.960
Klo's bounces, whatever you want to
make magically God. And you know
37
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.080
what he told me? Whapple held
me get back to the freaking ees.
38
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.759
You guys is a couple of the
hack whack X cause you know what I

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:29.000

Whapple in the salad night. And that

51
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.480
by John Cells. You're listening to
Back to the Eighties. John Cells debut
52
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.279
forty five with Oh the Red Vinyl
forty five has proven to be one of
53
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.839
the most collectible and popular records from
the Colorado late seventies new wave era,
54
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.920
and their debut single was released in
the summer of seventy nine. A big
55
00:05:34.000 --> 00:06:03.279
thanks to force Field Studios and Catherine
Levine, the creative director Sack WHOA You
56
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:08.360
are listening to Back to the Eighties
Radios soon launching on k Hits ninety two
57
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.560
five online and around the world.
This is the show that brings back the
58
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.360
eighties to a whole new generation.
We're reminiscing on the memories that made that
59
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:20.160
generation so awesome. We're here every
single Friday, and I want to keep
60
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.040
reminding you to like our Facebook page, drop us a note and let us
61
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.040
know what topics from the eighties that
you want to hear. The other thing
62
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.040
that, of course, myself and
Chang are going to ask that you subscribe
63
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.240
to our show and leave us a
comment on whatever platform you listen to,
64
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.040
because it really does help us out
today. Thank you. For joining us.
65
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.000
As we finish up our crews around
the eighties of rock and metal,
66
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.600
we're gonna be talking about the most
popular bands that were responsible for so many
67
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:55.879
eighties and nineties babies being born.
Now with me today as he is every
68
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:01.279
single Friday, is a man that
was scene secretly entering the White House when
69
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:09.120
Ronald Reagan was gone and Nancy was
left all alone. His collection of spandex
70
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:14.959
rivals those of Bret Michaels and Poison
and Nicki six during the Girls, Girls,
71
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:19.160
Girls tours of nineteen eighty seven.
We here at Back to the Eighties
72
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.319
call him the Chang. Hello,
everybody, it is I the Chang,
73
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:29.399
the legend in my own mind,
another Friday rendition of Back to the Eighties.
74
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.360
Besides my favorite to tell you,
besides ship Boyard Tusky, tuscanoll,
75
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:38.879
how the hell is everybody out there? The eighties rock revolution. That's what
76
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.000
we're talking about today. And if
he just joined us, you have missed
77
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.759
two shows that have been incredible for
us because we have learned a lot.
78
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.399
I particularly learned a lot because I
learned that Chang is a hater, even
79
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:54.360
more than I already knew he was
a hater. Oh, do you know
80
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.879
you're also a hater? Is No? I am not that much of a
81
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.519
hater, and you gotta admit you're
much more of a hater a minute.
82
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.480
I hate them B fifty twos,
but that's probably not a Catholic priest behind
83
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.959
in a little booth with a scartron
front where you can lie in make up
84
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.639
stories just so you can go sit
in your married best in p. Nineteen,
85
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.959
I know you were a hater.
You hate just like me. Now
86
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.600
there's a couple more bands that that
I didn't really care for, but I
87
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:30.160
don't hate y. Yeah, that's
taking a little bit overboard for me this
88
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.000
show. This is what makes it
great about the show, and what makes
89
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.240
it great about all eighties fans is
that we all have our opinion, we
90
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.279
all have our different tastes in music. And here's what was fantastic about the
91
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.440
eighties. There was so much variety. The eighties proved to be a massive
92
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.159
rock domination time. You know,
it was hair metal, glam rock,
93
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.200
new wave that was opening doors for
for a bunch of new artists to come
94
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.879
and and also providing inspiration for those
acts that were already established, you know,
95
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:05.360
bringing technology into the scene. With
digital synthesizers, programmable drum machine,
96
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:11.399
sequencers. It all became a commonplace. Eighties rock, eighties metal. There
97
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.360
was just so much of it,
and it was all different. Everything was
98
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:20.000
different now, Toscano, we you
know, not only metal, but rock
99
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:26.519
and roll at its whole monster back
in the eighties kind of branched off like
100
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.960
a tree a plant to weed.
It rooted all over and sprout out in
101
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.720
different looks. You had the rock
and roll, you know, bands like
102
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:41.000
were categorized as metals such as Rush, Triumph, Van Halen, Guns and
103
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.799
Roses, to where if you break
it down to the essence, their pure
104
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.320
rock and roll such as The Who, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones.
105
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.320
You know, they're not metal at
all. They just have the big bang
106
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:01.600
and the big sound. Areo Speedwagon
Sticks Run Rush had such a powerful sound
107
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.720
in the eighties, but not metal, not cerebral rock, but a rock
108
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.360
and roll that's going to kick your
ass. You had dire straits, your
109
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:18.159
favorites like Poison themselves. Which are
your darn favorites? Well that's glad metal
110
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.000
wooseee metal? Oh did I say
that? Yeah? Yeah. The eighties
111
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:28.440
were filled with so much variety,
and that's what makes this decade so awesome
112
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:33.960
for so many generations to come.
Like I mentioned many times in different programs,
113
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.879
eighties music, eighties rock, even
eighties metal. You can still hear
114
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.759
it in new movies of today.
The one that rings probably the loudest in
115
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.600
my ear is from the movies Iron
Man. They're playing Black Sabbath from the
116
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.159
seventies. That's why I'm saying,
this is music that formed generations. It's
117
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:58.279
also turned, I believe, like
the children to listening to rock and roll,
118
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.279
opening their ears to rock and roll. Marble has a great job incorporating
119
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:09.919
old rock from the eighties and the
seventies into their movies that coincide with the
120
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.480
action going on, which is great
because it does bring back to nostalgia.
121
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:20.519
You'll see kids now with black Sabbage
shirts you would have never seen before in
122
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.399
our era. You know, my
parents would have never ever let me wear
123
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:30.840
a black Sabbage shirt. But Mama
Chang did allow me to wear a Beatles
124
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.440
in the Hendrick shirt under my Catholic
white shirts when I went to Catholic school,
125
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.919
probably at the age of nine and
up. No, it was it
126
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.879
was just it was phenomenal. I'm
I'm gonna show you something right now.
127
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.960
So I called my son in,
my seventeen year old son, Daniel,
128
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.679
who is going to show you through
the camera here his newest acquisition to his
129
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.120
closet. Yeah, we went to
the mall for the first time in a
130
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:01.159
long time, and we decided to
go to one of the mall's my parents
131
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.279
used to take me in the eighties
and it's situated in Orange County and it's
132
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.799
called the Breya Mall. So we
went to the Brea Mall and we happen
133
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:15.879
to drop by Spencers. My son
bought nineteen eighty one tour of Journey shirts,
134
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:22.879
so now he's on the Neil Shawn
experience. Neil Sean came about with
135
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:28.759
Journey from Santana. That's why he
was very excited to find a Journey shirt
136
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.559
with the year nineteen eighty one tour
printed on it. So, and it's
137
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.080
exciting as a dad because you know, parents nowadays, they'll listen to their
138
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:45.399
kids call their music, you know, the parents music old and kind of
139
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.519
insult our music. And I'm just
very fortunate that they decided on their own.
140
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.960
We didn't make them, uh,
you know, listen to to eighties
141
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.559
music. A matter of fact that
they were listening to a little bit of
142
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:03.039
night Ranger and one of your bud
He's posted on Facebook that to mention night
143
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:09.440
Ranger, which is formed in nineteen
seventy nine in San Francisco. It has
144
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.720
some really great hits like you can
still rock in America, sing me Away
145
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.120
Goodbye when you close your eyes,
so all the way from j Yes Sister
146
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.840
Christian from nineteen eighty three on I
mean, what a great band night Ranger.
147
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.080
Yeah. I remember checking that band
out man, when they came to
148
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.759
LA and I tripped out in the
lead singer he was like maybe the size
149
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:35.279
of maybe like a thirteen year old
teenager. The guy could whale it man.
150
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.919
You know, they were a pretty
cool band, you know. I
151
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:43.240
think my favorite track that band was
Sister christ and that's the probably the most
152
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:48.320
popular song that they play on radio
today from that band. Now, Tascannell,
153
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.639
I gotta ask you, as we
dive into this era rock and roll,
154
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.960
just as we skip away from metal, I've got to put it up
155
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:03.159
for Van Hayden and Heroes probably two
of my favorite or two of the best
156
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:11.519
hard rock and non netal bands of
the eighties. Both of them had multiple
157
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:20.960
albums put out in the eighties.
Both of them had dynamic all multitalented members
158
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:26.519
of each band every album. Who
could top that type of plateau back then.
159
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.159
Let's take for example, Aerosmith.
Oh my gosh, let's go back
160
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.000
to about nineteen eighty two with rock
and a hard plays, I mean,
161
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.360
the original the original fivesome. All
right, They're reunited a couple of years
162
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.639
later or a few years later for
a tour in nineteen eighty five, which
163
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:48.440
was pretty much underappreciated with Done with
Mirrors. Unfortunately, it wasn't until all
164
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.559
the way two years later nineteen eighty
seven, with Permanent Vacation, that they
165
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:58.399
became once again those mega superstars.
And then obviously in nineteen eighty nine with
166
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.159
the follow up album Pump Yeah,
Errol Smith Is It's a trippy band.
167
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.720
You know, they had their inner
problems. They separated for a while.
168
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.720
I believe they made an album without
Steven Tyler. Other bands I think in
169
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.360
the eighties that brought that powerhouse bands
like Rush a backdout of Canada three piece,
170
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.840
which, by the way, I
think my opinion, bro, don't
171
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.159
even remember we talk about being hater? Are you ready for ready for some
172
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.600
hate on my behalf yeah, Rich, I think Rush is overrated. But
173
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.840
hold on, hold on, hold
your thought, hold your thought. Let
174
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.159
me let me mention something about van
Halen because I love van Halen all right.
175
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:46.440
They dominated throughout the eighties, right, and between eighty and eighty eight,
176
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:52.679
van Halen released no less than six
different multi platinum albums. Not only
177
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.720
that, but they did it with
two different lead singers, David Lee Roth
178
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:00.799
and Sammy Hagar in nineteen eighty five. Now, if I would have been
179
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:07.960
able to finish my just well,
you gotta hate you start talking about the
180
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:14.480
under the overrated band Rush. I
can't believe you're a hater of Rush.
181
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.639
Oh yeah, you know what.
There's a lot of people going, you
182
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.279
know, what's threw that guy?
What else is he gonna say? Yeah?
183
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.039
Yeah, well how about the band
Triumph? Now? I saw Triumph
184
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:32.240
play at the festival like the Metal
Day, But to me, Triumph was
185
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:37.039
not at all medal right to me, they were like they were like Rush.
186
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:42.039
Yes, hate some more No,
because Triumph. I like their sound
187
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:48.000
better. I like the lead singer's
vocals much better. And the plus they're
188
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.480
Canadian? What's not to like?
That's true? They you know the what's
189
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:56.879
funny is they called Pam Bacon.
I'll just leave that there. I mean,
190
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:03.279
these bands had a lot of work
done in the seventies, so there,
191
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:06.680
you know, it's like a seventies
eighties band rather than a full bloon
192
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.640
formed in the eighties and kind of
died in the eighties too. You know,
193
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:17.200
you have bands like Sticks Queen.
What are you gonna say about Queen's
194
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:21.000
music in the eighties. They are
a band from the seventies, but they
195
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:26.839
transcended, just like David Bowie transcended
into a different style, a different sound
196
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:32.039
in the eighties, so did Queen. So yeah, but Queen, See
197
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.440
you're talking about these bands like,
for example, Queen, let's say Queen.
198
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:41.960
Queen is probably my number two band
ever, Okay, number two most
199
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:47.599
favorite band. I love every single
song, every single song that Queen has.
200
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:52.920
I like everybody. The music is
just it's transcendent. Their music goes
201
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:59.440
beyond years. So it was ahead
of its time back then. And the
202
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.240
funny thing with Queen is their music
is ahead of its time now, if
203
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.799
that may even make sense. I
was just going to I was just going
204
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.720
to add that before you stated that, and you hit it before I could,
205
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:17.279
So I commend you you're listening to
Back to the Eighties. This is
206

just Scanna from just Kino and Chang. We'll be right back. Don't go
207
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.319

way back. Hey by pals Tskano and
208
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.279
Chang went to school in the eighties

your mind at East Chang gets here to
218
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:51.359
please. That was the ever so
great rush with spirit. You were back
219
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.559
on Eat Tack with Toscato and chag
at Back to the eighties. Toscanto,
220
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:03.240
did you feel did you feel that
power full mucle pounding and energy in your
221
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:10.559
ears as you listen to the great
three piece Rest in peace. Neil pr
222
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:14.680
professor of the drums of Rush.
I know you felt it, you know,
223
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.359
every time I hear this is what
I felt. I felt cerebral fluid
224
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:25.640
coming out of my ears as my
ears started bleeding because I can't stand Rush.
225
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.079
And it's like, you know,
here's here's my best example of how
226
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.599
when I listen to Rush, how
it sounds like to me. Just picture
227
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:41.440
in your mind all the demonic forces
of hell getting drunk and vomiting at once,
228
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:48.279
heating up their regurgitation and vomiting up
all at once one more time.
229
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:55.640
That doesn't even compare of what I
think of Rush. Oh my god.
230
00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:00.000
And this coming from a man that
would light a bigger fighter at a cure
231
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:11.400
concert if he wrote us on a
trust up like saw them like This from
232
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:17.400
a man that thinks Kip Winger can
play guitar. This from a man that
233
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:26.880
thinks, listen that the greatest band
of all time is Poison. No,
234
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.519
not Poison, it's you two.
Oh that's right, you two. Now
235
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:37.039
there's another band of rock and roll
essence and rock and roll royalty. You
236
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:42.160
two created great music in the eighties. I love them. For example,
237
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:47.839
Journey. Journey is a band that
started in the seventies and they went on
238
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.960
in the eighties, and I love
Journey. They changed vocals, they changed
239
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:59.640
lead singers, so of course they
became somewhat of a different band. You
240
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:04.720
could say the same a Black Sabbath
once Ozzy left. Ozzy was known for
241
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:12.359
the seventies intro to metal of Black
Sabbath. Ronnie James Deal, previously of
242
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:22.440
Elf Rainbow, came in took him
to a heavy metal experience above and beyond
243
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:29.119
blues metal, but kind of a
cathedral metal. Then he later on went
244
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:37.160
into Deal which it transcended into its
metal kind of the encyclopedia the Tattoo on
245
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:45.359
Metal. So a forced journey with
a great lyricist as Steve Perry. They
246
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:52.559
became epically known the Bad Thing Jonathan
Kane playing a keyboard like a guitar that
247
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.720
was gay. Oh my gosh,
and there it is. I knew it
248
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:02.640
was coming out from around the world, or at least this following band gets
249
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:07.079
the most votes of being the greatest
band of the eighties. Now I'm gonna
250
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.759
mention this band to you once again. I don't really agree, but in
251
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.119
a way, in a way,
I can understand where they're coming from.
252
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.440
All right, here we go.
It's an American band, all right.
253
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.839
They rocketed to the front of the
pack, largely on the strength of just
254
00:23:22.079 --> 00:24:00.640
one studio album. Appetite for this
structures whatever you may need, Yes,
255
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:06.279
great bat Jack, asleite singer pans
he asked though a cigarette, my Chuck
256
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:11.519
Taylor Kirk call, oh my gosh. Yeah, So I'm talking about none
257
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.880
other than guns and Roses. And
of course nineteen eighty eight was their biggest
258
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:22.200
year. Have you seen Axel Rose? Somebody and one of the eighties fan
259
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:27.319
clubs or groups on Facebook posted a
picture of Axel Rose next to the old
260
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.920
lady from Throw Mama Off the Train. You know what, Honestly, I'm
261
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:36.400
not lying. I did not know
it was Axel Rose. I literally thought
262
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:38.960
it was just some poor old lady. I had no idea it was Axel
263
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.079
Rose. I just I couldn't.
I couldn't believe it. I'd not want
264
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:49.599
to mock on aging process in any
way to anyone, but Axel Rose,
265
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:56.440
I believe, was so full of
himself and so unappreciative at a certain time
266
00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:03.400
of his wealth, his fans,
kind of his duty as a rock and
267
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:11.559
roll singer role model to maybe some
then as the way he looks now is
268
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:17.759
because of his self loathing and his
ego ate up his soul. So when
269
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:23.559
you're ugly on the inside and pretending
to be something on the outside, it's
270
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:29.440
like John Lennon said, instant karma
is going to get you, all right.
271
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:33.240
So here's another band I'm gonna surprise
you with because a lot of people
272
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.920
you will not consider it. Probably
it's off course not metal, but it
273
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:42.440
is rock. It's a Swedish band
that was formed in nineteen seventy nine.
274
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:49.279
As well the main vocalist Joey Tempest, the guitarist Joe Norham, bass guitarist
275
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:57.000
Peter Olsen and the drummer Tony Reno. Now this band by nineteen eighty two.
276
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:02.839
That was their major breakthrough because this
band came up with a song that
277
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.680
is played all over the world,
and they had many number one hits,
278
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:27.799
including Carrie and including the Final Countdown
none other than Europe. You know what,
279
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:33.440
I thought, that's the whole reason
I'll never visit Europe. Oh my
280
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:38.599
gosh, the great band. I
had to bring him up Look, if
281
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:45.119
you brought up Billie Squire was going
to he's a rock musician, arena arena
282
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:49.680
rock, power ballads, you know
that type of hit. But his what
283
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:53.039
is he best known for? What
the song the Stroke nineteen eighty one,
284
00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:00.960
Don't say No Stroke? Yeah,
yeah, get a number by anyway?
285
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:04.200
You know that Christmas song that was
done with all the metal bands. Oh,
286
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:10.000
yes, I remember, Yeah,
it was like Christmas is the time
287
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:15.480
abuse, I love you? And
he and he did have he did have
288
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.039
quite a head of hair, didn't
he. Yeah, he did have some
289
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.920
nice hair. I could see.
He reminded me of what was the Queen's
290
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:26.680
guitarist, Oh, Brian May,
Yeah, Brian. He ruined me of
291
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:32.480
Brian May's hair. He had hair
to me that reminded me of Elizabeth Shoe.
292
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.960
I will just put that out there
now. How about if I bring
293
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.400
up this band from the eighties,
the Pretenders. They're not new wave,
294
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:47.759
categorized as new wave, but not
ass kicking, solid rock and roll in
295
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:52.559
your face. Another great band.
Heart evolved like what I think seventy eight,
296
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.880
seventy nine, then into the eighties, but then the eighties they kind
297
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.119
of slipped into two. Both of
them look like really hot metal chicks,
298
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:06.640
like dressed like queens, and they
got really soft tempoed, you know.
299
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:10.519
So in the eighties they kind of
like they were getting played on. Kiss
300
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:15.440
at them in southern California. We'll
look at four time Grammy winning, six
301
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:22.319
time platinum, four gold albums,
Pat Benatar, you know, Heartbreaker,
302
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.240
Fire and Ice, Treat Me Right, you know, Hit Me with your
303
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:29.519
best shot, Hell Is for Children, Chatters of the Ninth too, and
304
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:33.559
then list goes on in Anne.
You know what, they were a powerhouse
305
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.119
bro Shields, and you know what's
crazy, they were a married couple,
306
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:42.319
so I think that added to their
intellect and they're they're feeding off each other
307
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:48.720
and knowing each other too. They
could just create a powerhouse. I mean
308
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:53.640
Neil Giraldo, her husband, and
Pat Benatar totally badass through the eighties.
309
00:28:55.160 --> 00:29:00.599
They opened the door for a lot
of pretty much badass chicks that would evolved.
310
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:04.160
Jone Jet another rock and roll chick, not metal, but from the
311
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:07.960
Runaways. You know, she came
out bold and strong in the eighties.
312
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:14.240
You know another great band we talked
about, remember Missing Persons. They were
313
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:17.960
kind of voted in as a new
way. But remember that other band,
314
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.960
that was kind of new way,
but not the motels of powerhouse rock band
315
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.839
back into the end. And also
what about another band formed in nineteen seventy
316
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:37.119
six in the UK, and that's
Foreigner. Oh dude, yeah, I
317
00:29:44.559 --> 00:30:03.079
watch Shot get the Shot. The
Foreigner was a great band. And here's
318
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.559
one of the great things that I
love from not only Foreigner, but there's
319
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.640
many bands like them that they still
maintained that same sound. Their frontman can
320
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:18.759
still reach those notes. Man,
I really enjoy their music. Here's another
321
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:34.000
band, brother that started in the
seventies, Pink Floyd. No, it's
322
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:59.759
just even long after where David Gilmour
took the vocals when Roger Waters departed Pink
323
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.119
to go on his own and then
to stand to be corrected. In the
324
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:08.680
later eighties, you had Roger Waters
out there performing and you had Pink Floyd
325
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:17.119
with David gilmore leads singing at Pink
Floyd at the same time. So there's
326
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:23.559
another band that transcended with both vocalists
in the eighties at different times. Yep.
327
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:27.400
And you know, one of Pink
Floyd's songs, another Brick in the
328
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:33.279
Wall, became twice or three times
as more popular in the eighties as well
329
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:41.599
because of MTV. Yes, I
remember going to the Walk in theater and
330
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:48.079
watching the Wall. Back in the
eighties, I go to La Puente and
331
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.279
go to the theater there, you
know what I mean. In at twelve
332
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:55.599
o'clock party out in the parking lot
was kind of like a party zone,
333
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:59.119
like you were at a concert,
a tailgate party of a sporting event.
334
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.839
People be getting together, cranking on
music, hanging out in mini trucks,
335
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.759
pumping kegs and waiting for the midnight
show. You go in there and check
336
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:13.519
out the wall. So the eighties
we had Bruce Springsteen. He evolved in
337
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.559
the eighties. It's another different type
of rock and roll. You know that
338
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:22.839
that took us to another different element
and a different path in rock. My
339
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:27.759
brother, Yeah, and what about
the English hard rock band founded by David
340
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:31.319
Coverdale, You know he David Coverdale, formerly of Deep Purple, who is
341
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:35.960
White and White Snake. That's another
band, bro that I tripped out.
342
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:40.319
They got categorized as glam metal,
but yeah, they looked at for the
343
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:45.079
video. But that was a band
that I didn't think was metal. I
344
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:51.920
put them more of a more of
a ballad, softer, more of an
345
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:59.440
emotional cerebral rock and roll. Anytime
you utilize great vocal range and you bring
346
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:07.119
it in with the type bluesy rock
or melodic type sounds with keyboards, you
347
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:12.200
kind of evolve into something else.
You could go to the grounds of cerebral
348
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:19.079
rock, similar to were Pink Void
touched. But it's in its own essence
349
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.799
of a rock, which I thought
was kind of cheap to put it in
350
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:28.240
glam metal only because the way they
changed their looking, their fashion to be
351
00:33:28.440 --> 00:34:04.160
played on TV. Walk Down,
Going Down. I was walking along and
352
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:08.039
you know what chang For those of
you who are interested and love White Snake.
353
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:14.079
In twenty twenty, that released the
rock album you know, remixed remastered
354
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:19.079
versions of their best rock songs.
They released CD and here's the best part
355
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:23.599
for all who love vinyl. It
was released on a white vinyl on June
356
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:28.480
nineteenth of twenty twenties. So you
can you can reach out and catch the
357
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.039
vinyl, catch the CD of White
Snake. Go out, go out and
358
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:36.639
do it. Maintain the rock alive. This is back to the eighties.
359
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:40.880
We're talking about rock, metal and
everything across the board. We're gonna be
360
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:45.719
right back or we're gonna continue the
madness of Tuskana and and Chang. Who
361
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:52.000
knows, you might even hear a
hater or two. You're listening to back
362
00:34:52.079 --> 00:35:25.239
to the eighties and now back to
the eighties with Toscato and Chang. You're
363
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:29.320
listening to back to the eighties Toscano
from Toscato and Chang, and that was
364
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:34.039
Starship with we Built this City now
Chang. And for those of you who
365
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.159
don't know Starship is it is the
name of more than one artist, believe
366
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:42.119
it or not. All right there. It's a rock pop band. It's
367
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:46.400
a transact UK power pop and a
techhouse group, believe it or not,
368
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:52.880
and also a seventies rock band with
Mickey Dolan's. But the band we're talking
369
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:58.440
about here is, of course the
band that comes out with two of the
370
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:02.440
most famous songs and played songs,
which is we built the City and Nothing's
371
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:06.840
gonna stop us. Now. Personally, I like a song called Sarah.
372
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:09.360
Which song do you like? King? No, No, wait a minute,
373
00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:13.159
no, wait a minute, now, wait a minute. You have
374
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:16.079
to listen to me. This is
going to get brutal. It goes against
375
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:23.639
everything. Why do you christianly believe
in that I should not say about any
376
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:30.440
Wow, So you don't. I
just played it because this is what people
377
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:36.000
have been requesting as well, to
hear a little bit of us mentioning the
378
00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:37.880
bands, and you know we have
to mention them all. I agree.
379
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:44.039
We will mention every band that we
can in the time frame that we are
380
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:46.719
here at, back to the eighties. But every now and then one of
381
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:52.360
us is going to throw a band
out that's going to get under our skin,
382
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:58.920
kind of like Scathies, kind of
like egg Sama. Now this band,
383
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:01.840
Oh my god, this bad.
So let's move on and I'll mention
384
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:06.119
another band right now that I know
you're gonna like. They were formed in
385
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:13.400
La the city that we of course
belong to, Los Angeles, and they
386
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:16.440
obviously were. They were formed in
nineteen seventy eight, and they had some
387
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:22.119
some good hits in particularly one.
But the band I'm talking about, wait
388
00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:25.639
a minute, I don't like the
way you say so you already started it.
389
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.800
Huh you say that, You say
that like a caucase. Here we
390
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:37.599
go. The song I'm thinking that
became their most famous hit is once Bitten
391
00:37:37.280 --> 00:38:10.519
Twice shy, and I'm talking about
none other than Great White. Now,
392
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:14.719
Great White, bro, great band. I thought back in the eighties.
393
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:16.199
I remember listening to them, you
know what I mean, k and AC.
394
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:22.320
They really got huge on K and
AC, but they got their notoriety
395
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:29.960
laid on Klosh when KLS was banging
in the eighties with their metal show that
396
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:34.079
they were playing. I think it
was at ten o'clock too, maybe one,
397
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:38.280
maybe two o'clock, I remember if
I remember right. But Great White
398
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:44.480
was a band that they kind of
said was similar to Zebra in the eighties,
399
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:50.960
going to be the next led Zeppelin
sounding group. Now Jack Russell,
400
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:54.239
you know, just like every band
in the eighties went through their own crap,
401
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:59.360
you know, dope, alcohol,
egos got in the way, so
402
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:04.320
half for the members bailed somewhere else, he bailed somewhere else, you know,
403
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:09.000
he got booted out. Legal legalities
get into it. So both both
404
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:15.559
parties, both the similar, both
parties of the creators of that band got
405
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:19.920
the rights and carried that band into
their own. But I thought Great White
406
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:23.159
was not a metal band, not
a glamm band, but a rock and
407
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:28.519
roll band. And I just think
because of the drugs, alcohol and Eagles
408
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.880
kind of screwed them up. So
they really got notoriety. Nice one for
409
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:38.079
you, that's like me and you
going to a racquet ball game right there,
410
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:42.039
and you threw that son of a
gun right up the back wall,
411
00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:45.159
the left wall and the ceiling at
me, and I had to try to
412
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:50.239
counter and I barely got it over
the line. On you nice, You
413
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:52.360
did, you did, and you
were not a bounds. You were in
414
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:57.000
bounds, all right. So what
about Eddy Money? Talk to me about
415
00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:00.280
Eddy Money, because Any Money was
you know, here's the guy that one
416
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:07.760
of the guys with his band that
became huge because of MTV. Well that's
417
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.360
because he had that hot chick,
that good lord. When I seen her,
418
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:13.400
I was like, man, if
I would have met that chick on
419
00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:19.239
cruising night on what your Boulevard on
Sunday night back in the days in Eastlows,
420
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.960
man, I would have been chewing
on that home girl's neck all night.
421
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:28.119
She's the one on the video that
made that cat that cash Any Money
422
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:32.719
on that video looked like he had
a he had a seizure. If he
423
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:37.679
doesn't self shaken put the chick on
the video. That that chick was like
424
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:42.679
old school, correct, we remember? And you know, speaking of Edny
425
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:45.800
Money. Though I preferred instead of
taking me home tonight, I preferred two
426
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:51.079
tickets to Paradise from him. I
prefer not hearing him at all. Yeah,
427
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:53.280
I bet you did. All right, I'm going to hit you with
428
00:40:53.400 --> 00:41:00.519
a band that I know for a
fact that you will like and that you
429
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:05.960
have nothing but good things to say
of this band that you That's a great
430
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:09.840
band right there. That is probably
one of the greatest rock and roll bands
431
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:15.880
in pure essence at every form and
sound that a rock and roll band could
432
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:22.400
create. Would be the Eagles.
You know. Sometimes they touched the bounds
433
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:25.480
of country, which is like,
yah, I was drinking beer, I
434
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:29.840
could get into it. But other
than that, it was like not on
435
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:32.320
airy country. But they can go
into hard rock. They can go to
436
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:45.280
kind of that down home kind of
feeling, kind of inspirational, hard driving,
437
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:50.280
low key kind of rock and roll. Then they could come out with
438
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:53.519
you know, Hotel California, make
you feel so cal all the way,
439
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:59.320
you know what I mean. Similar
to that would have probably been Chicago.
440
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:07.559
Two different eras, two different singers, two different catastrophic sounds that move people.
441
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:12.159
Speaking of Chicago, I gotta I
gotta ask you because you and me,
442
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:17.639
I like both Chicago's seventies and eighties. I love I love Peter Satera,
443
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:22.920
but you don't seem to quite share
that same taste with me. Peter
444
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:31.280
Satara took over indie Chicago group came
out pretty cool throughout the early eighties mid
445
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:37.920
eighties, but when he went solo, the content and the emotion of his
446
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:45.559
music change from what he was doing
background or side step with Chicago. Even
447
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:51.840
as he took over early Chicago,
the first two albums where it was still
448
00:42:52.039 --> 00:43:00.639
sounding Chicago Ish with different types of
storylines to their lyrics, as opposed to
449
00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:05.880
where he took up in the eighties, and he went love stream with more
450
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:09.519
of that. If you're in La
you're like, hey, everybody, you're
451
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:15.400
listening to Mark and Kim with love
songs. And to me, now,
452
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:23.400
when when Peter Sitera took Chicago to
sound like something in the elevator, I
453
00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:29.079
started sweating and panicking because I knew, even though I wasn't going for a
454
00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:34.199
job interview, I was hired.
So Peter Sitera to me, remind me
455
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:37.800
of sucky elevator music there. I
said it. I said it back to
456
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:39.719
the eighties. We're gonna take a
little break. When we come back,
457
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:44.920
We've got changres. I thought that
wasn't a wind this thing down as we
458
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:50.639
continue, was rock metal and Peter
Satera. What I want to know is
459
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:54.000
why are the only funny lines on
this show the ones behind me? Hello,
460
00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:59.719
this is a doctor speaking. I
detect a large amount of social media
461
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:04.360
usage in your life once. Hence, I am recommending you go back to
462
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:14.599
the eighties. Welcome back to the
eighties. This is Siskanno from Siskato and
463
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:19.159
Chang. This is the part of
the show where we talk about what made
464
00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:22.920
us angry back in the nineteen eighties. But in honor of the most wondrous,
465
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:30.599
the most notorious Chang, we've changed
the name and now called them Changers.
466
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:37.079
So Chang, what made you changery
back in the nineteen eighties? You
467
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:42.639
know what got me changry back in
the nineteen eighties being on Sunset Strip when
468
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:49.079
some jackass flix his cigarettes at your
brand new Chuck Taylors. You know what
469
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:54.440
got being changry back in the eighties? Saskato when the Trojans would rip Ah,
470
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:59.719
you mean the team, the USC
team got it? Yeah, this
471
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:04.199
has been this week's changreis. If
you have something that drove you nuts,
472
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:07.079
made you angry back in the eighties, and you want to write to Chang
473
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:10.440
and let him know that you want
him to read your changry on the air,
474
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:15.000
Go ahead and hit up our Facebook, send us a message, and
475
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:20.480
we'll be darn sure to read your
changry on our future show. Damn straight.
476
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:22.599
Don't be afraid. Hey, if
you listen to rock and roll radio
477
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:28.199
in the eighties, then listen to
this to Scotto and Chang, they will
478
00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:44.639
transport you back in time, back
to the eighties. We're back. This
479
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:46.800
is back to the eighties, do
you know, Chang. I want to
480
00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:53.119
do something for everybody, because there's
a lot of younger people listening to our
481
00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:59.360
show, both younger millennials, millennials
that didn't get a chance, but just
482
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:04.880
to hear from their parents what it
was like to hang out, to be
483
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:08.719
a part of the rock scene.
So I want you guys listening for a
484
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:13.400
little bit, for a little while, I want you to take a ride
485
00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:17.000
with me and Chang, and we're
gonna go back to the eighties at least
486
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:22.320
in our mind right now. And
I'm gonna paint the picture briefly, and
487
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:27.480
Chang is going to be the master
mind of the master painter of this scene.
488
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:32.480
So here's the scene, and I'm
gonna tell you the year nineteen eighty
489
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:39.480
four. We're going to your choice
shang either Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard because there's
490
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:43.480
a few bands that are going to
be playing, and I want you to
491
00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:45.760
tell us what it was like or
what it would be like to go see
492
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:52.199
these bands. All right, here
we go opening up. There are three
493
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:57.480
bands total. The first two are
going to be playing some sets. The
494
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:00.519
first group is Motorhead, and then
they're gonna ease it down. They're gonna
495
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:05.079
tone it down as soon as Motorhead
stops, Motley Crue is gonna come in.
496
00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:08.559
And then when Motley Crue leaves,
they're gonna bring it in for the
497
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:15.599
Star of the Night, and of
course it's Van Halen. So I want
498
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:16.960
you to paint that picture for me, or what do you want to take
499
00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:22.039
us? Hollywood Boulevard or the Sunset
Strip? And where let's stick with a
500
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:29.079
Sunset Boulevard and let me describe all
three bands, because I did go see
501
00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:34.079
all three bands in that time frame. Now, going to a Motorhead gig
502
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:38.800
is kind of priming yourself to get
into a fight. Eye to an Alley
503
00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:58.719
Star. We are out ahead,
Let play rock and roll full broadle with
504
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:07.119
adrenaline and pumping testosterone is blowing.
If you're a female going to a motorhead
505
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:10.480
gig, you've got bolts of steel. You're the type of girl that's going
506
00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:15.400
to steal a bottle of alcohol from
a liquor store. The smell of a
507
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:23.360
motorhead gig is of this leather,
alcohol, cigarettes, perfume, guy's cologne,
508
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:29.360
the scent, a little bit of
weed, the occasional whiff of a
509
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:34.519
urinal when the door gets open a
little bit too long because the screen the
510
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:39.280
spring on the door is jacked up. It's a small place. The only
511
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:45.800
ventilation is that of when the front
door opens and the back door to where
512
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:50.559
the bouncer sits to allow you to
go in and outside to smoke a cigarette,
513
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:53.280
Go get something out of your car, and then come back in the
514
00:48:53.440 --> 00:49:00.199
front and show your stamp, your
dreams getting spilled, your on a table,
515
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:06.519
nobody's sitting, Your table's getting moved. It's time to get into pitch.
516
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:09.599
So you're you're thrashing with people.
That would be a motor head gig
517
00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:16.079
In eighty four on sunset and how
much how much was? How much was
518
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:21.480
the entrance fee. You think back
then going to see these bands. You
519
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:24.920
know, back then, you can
go to a gig for maybe like fifteen
520
00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:30.119
to twenty bucks depending they were where
they were playing, you know what I
521
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:35.079
mean, maybe twenty five bucks.
A lot of times you had to go
522
00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:39.039
wait for music outlets to open up
and sell tickets. So you know,
523
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:45.800
back then, you didn't pay over
thirty bucks for a ticket depending on the
524
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:51.159
venue. So unlike today where two, three, four or five six hundred
525
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:52.719
dollars a ticket. Yeah, yeah, there was no way. Back then
526
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:55.840
it was like that, you know, because they catered to the young mind
527
00:49:55.920 --> 00:50:02.760
and they knew teenagers are either going
to get money from their parents working part
528
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:07.400
time jobs. So now or Motor
had just finished their set, there's a
529
00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:12.880
little break in between. I'm sure
what goes on in this venue. Everybody
530
00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:15.599
takes a break to get some drinks, to go to the bathroom, to
531
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:17.599
get whatever else done, to go
outside to get it, get a smoke,
532
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:23.519
paint us that picture, and then
you hear the sound of the announcement
533
00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:46.119
that it's Motley Crew are usually when
they would do a gig like that.
534
00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:50.840
Yeah, like you said, everybody
takes that brief moment to go do whatever
535
00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:53.559
they got to do. You know, get loaded, get loose, get
536
00:50:53.639 --> 00:51:00.159
some drinks, air out, flirt
with somebody that caught your attention, you
537
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:04.760
know name, bring your table party
into a bigger magnitude. You meet up
538
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:07.800
with friends that during the gig couldn't
get to where you're at. Everybody kind
539
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:12.440
of gathers up and groups up.
You know, everybody's you know, getting
540
00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:15.639
ready and you're all pumped up with
the next band. Usually after that,
541
00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:20.400
you know, the lights are out. You start seeing lights, You see
542
00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:29.199
things changing on stage. You start
hearing hearing the intro of the other band
543
00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:32.440
as they're testing their equipment. Every
sitting on the lights kind of come on.
544
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:37.039
People are starting to cheer, people
are starting to get all crazy,
545
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:40.480
all the attentions forward to the stage. You know, people are kind of
546
00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:46.480
a little bit more subdued in the
transition of Motorhead to Motley Crue. So
547
00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:50.280
in the transition, everybody does that. You know, you gotta do what
548
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:52.679
you gotta do to get settled.
So when the next band comes out,
549
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:57.519
you got Motley Crewe coming out,
so you're going to see more the chick
550
00:51:57.679 --> 00:52:04.480
radius grab it and try and send
to the front of the venue. So
551
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:07.760
you're going to see a lot of
hot metal chicks, a lot of leathers,
552
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:14.360
fandex other kind of promiscuous outfits.
So yeah, Motley Crewe would bring
553
00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:17.519
out the chicks in the forefront,
pretty dudes that were their boyfriends or that
554
00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:23.360
just dated them. People would pretty
much be headbanging standing rather than in a
555
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:29.079
pit. So it would be a
trip. You know, the bathrooms were
556
00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:32.519
chaotic. You could open up the
bathrooms and both of the bathrooms would open
557
00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:37.199
up and you smell Opwinette cologne,
perfume. You know what I mean,
558
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:42.880
you got both. You got like
mountains of people standing in front of a
559
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:50.559
prinking mirror playing with their hair.
It was insane. Less cigarette, more
560
00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:54.840
sweetness in the air. If you
can dig that vibe, no, dig
561
00:52:54.880 --> 00:53:00.679
it completely dig it. Now there's
the time. Here comes a time Motley
562
00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:04.480
Crew just ended their last song,
they go on another break. What happens
563
00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:09.920
on this transition before the main band
comes on, and that is Van Halen.
564
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:17.159
Now, usually after a gig with
like Motley Crewe, people would hook
565
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:20.800
up. You know what I mean, you bet your scam for the night.
566
00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:23.519
Either both of you are going to
get a room somewhere on the strip,
567
00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:28.480
or you're going to hook a bit
at somebody's pat or even rent a
568
00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:31.400
room somewhere on this drip, which
is totally kill her to do, and
569
00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:37.880
a great memory that would usually happen
after a Motley Crew, you would see
570
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:43.920
maybe some people that would not be
of the motorhead type or the motley crew
571
00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:47.440
type kind of fade out. You
would see the later crowd rushing into the
572
00:53:47.559 --> 00:53:52.920
gig that was outside in line that
came just a CVH, So you would
573
00:53:52.960 --> 00:54:00.679
see kind of an interchange of the
atmosphere and the fan type and the looking
574
00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:07.039
that have come in a triple threat
of that band type with all three of
575
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:14.519
band playing then catering to three different
types of rock and rollers. Van Hayden
576
00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:22.960
would probably bring in some older cats
party time as kicking hardcore, seventies neighborhood
577
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:28.760
party rock and roll, la rock
and roll, you know, the kind
578
00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:30.840
of rock and roll. We're like, We're not going to take no crap
579
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:35.639
from no pretty metal head. We're
not going to take no crap from somebody
580
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:37.960
that's gotten the pit. You know. We come up from the old school.
581
00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:42.960
We're cruising in cars, we're picking
up on chicks, we're looking the
582
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:45.599
way we do. If you've got
a problem, that's Muhammad at lead up,
583
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:51.639
and you would probably have two different
type kicks, because I think any
584
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:59.400
chick that would dig sexiness in Motorhead
and Motley Crue is definitely gonna find sexiness
585
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:06.239
in Alex van Halen. You know
that badass drummer dude that hid behind the
586
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:08.800
shades, cut up like Bruce Lee, you know what I mean, the
587
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:15.039
wavy hair Eddie van Halen, Eddie
van Haydn had the hair of the god
588
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:20.440
could play. And if Eddie van
Halen could play any woman like he did
589
00:55:20.639 --> 00:55:24.800
in guitar, Eddie van Halen had
to have at least ten thousand women.
590
00:55:25.280 --> 00:55:35.760
Then with Diamond Dave, the magical, sensational Frank Sinatra of Martial Arts and
591
00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:44.320
Malibu looking Huntington beach beach boy ass
kicking rock and roll La Street kind of
592
00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:49.159
dude. And then with Michael Anthony. Michael Anthony looked like the kind of
593
00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:53.920
guy that like lifted weights, played
sports, rock and rolled hard, served,
594
00:55:55.760 --> 00:56:01.679
built cars, boxed, arm wrestled, So bad Halen gig would be
595
00:56:02.320 --> 00:56:08.320
totally sexually geared up on one thing, hardcore. Everybody's out for one thing.
596
00:56:08.480 --> 00:56:13.599
Let's have a good time. It's
going to be pure, no holds
597
00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:20.559
barred rock and roll, beauty,
all American, no leather, none of
598
00:56:20.639 --> 00:56:25.440
the prettiness, just rock and roll. So that's how that night would end.
599
00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:30.320
And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is what the eighties was all about.
600
00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:35.760
There were some that have those memories
and can describe it just like Chang
601
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:37.440
did today. I want to thank
you guys for joining us here and back
602
00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:40.159

why we do this and I want you

Metal and Beyond. In the meantime,
605
00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:55.119
