53
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.279
pleasure. Thanks for having me and
Millie when you joined us the last time,

54
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.360
we talked, of course about all
those points that they usually talk about

55
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.600
and interviewing shows and things like that, but let's go ahead and kick it

56
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.960
off because we want to take advantage
of the time that we have with you.

57
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.720
We hear a lot a lot of
paining your dudes from bands, especially

58
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.639
from bands back then and from artists. What are some of the things,

59
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.440
some of those tough things that you
personally had to go through to get to

60
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.200
the point where you went to the
audition or to the point where you were

61
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.519
discovered. What were some of those
dudes that were really just they were hard

62
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:33.159
to kind of make you made you
want to doubt. Yeah, disheartening thing

63
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.440
is that you know back in a
day. They made it so damn difficult

64
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.960
for you to sending a demo tape
or something like that. You know,

65
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.159
everybody was so too cool for school. You know, you can't go in

66
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.200
here, you can't have unsolicited tapes. I mean it was a pain and

67
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.200
the ass, I've gotta tell you. And we were rehearsing forever, and

68
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.240
finally I one day, literally I
just said, you know what, that's

69
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.120
it. I don't give a shit. I'm going to LA. I'm going

70
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.840
to Hollywood become star. And it's
literally what I said at the dinner table

71
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.840
my parents, and because my father
asked him, what are you you know,

72
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.360
what are you doing? Literally,
what are you doing with your life?

73
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.559
And I said, I'm going to
Hollywood Friday to become a star.

74
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.279
And he said do it, you
know? And I did. I just

75
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:20.440
I only had one. I had
one connection. One. The other ones

76
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.799
was literally me taking a tape and
walking and knocking on doors, whether it

77
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.279
was management firms or whether it was
I remember going to A and M Records,

78
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.840
knocking on the door at a sunset
here and it's like, hey,

79
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.639
you know who do I give a
tape to? I got an amazing I

80
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.159
got an amazing band. This is
like this is the ship, you know,

81
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.679
and it was like, I don't
know. I mean, I'm lucky

82
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.960
I made it out alive kind of
thing, you know what I mean.

83
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.879
So like the door song, right, bro, no one here gets out

84
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.799
alive and you made it out.
Yeah exactly. But it's just like,

85
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:54.159
you know, it's so they made
it so freaking difficult, and then there

86
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.159
was so much too cool for school
also that you know, the A and

87
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:01.279
R guys were like, you know, we did one show case and I

88
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.440
mean the band was legit. I
mean we're ready. We were the songs

89
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.240
were done, everything was done,
and the guy's like, well you need

90
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.519
a little more work here, you
need this, you need that, and

91
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.840
were looking at it. We're going
really and we got turned down quite a

92
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.440
bit. It was kind of weird. And it wasn't until I went to

93
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.559
Hollywood and I met up with this
producer and I knew there was a manager

94
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.159
that was staying with him for the
weekend that we're working on a project.

95
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.960
So I played the music to the
producer and he's like, wow, this

96
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.759
is like this is amazing, you
know. So then stand comes upstairs the

97
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.519
manager and he goes, hey,
stand, you should really listen to this

98
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.000
this kid's music, you know,
and he goes, you know, I'm

99
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.159
sure you're great. You look great, I'm sure you sound great. I

100
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.679
don't want another band. I can't
if I listen to it and I like

101
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.200
it, I can't take on another
band. I'm just an overload right now.

102
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.519
So then the other guy should goes
to him, I really think you

103
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.360
should listen to this, and he
goes, Okay, I'll tell you what.

104
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.679
Here's my address in New York,
in my office. Send it to

105
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.080
my office. I'll have a listen. I'll get back to you. So

106
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.000
this was Monday, right at noon, so as soon as I left,

107
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.519
as soon as I left the meeting, I went right to fed X and

108
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.600
I fed X that overnight. So
when he came to the office in the

109
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.279
morning on Tuesday, he was flying
out that night. He got the tape

110
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.639
and I wasn't even home yet,
but I listened to my answering machine,

111
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.799
and on the answer machine I could
hear I'll never let you go, literally

112
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.320
only halfway through the chorus. Okay, and he says, you fucking prick,

113
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.600
it is that good? Call me
immediately. So then I called him.

114
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:37.679
I came home Wednesday. Thursday,
I went to New York. The

115
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:39.960
band and I went to New York. We met with Stand and we had

116
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.240
a verbal agreement we're going to work
together. And Friday, literally this is

117
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.519
this true story, Friday, at
five pm, he calls me, you're

118
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:54.600
ready. You're gonna be on Universal
MCA Records. Have a good weekend boone.

119
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.399
From there, it happened, like
you know, everything is snowballed so

120
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:05.159
quickly we made an amazing record,
and sadly it was on the shelf for

121
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.840
eight months. You know, the
Universal really wasn't doing anything with it,

122
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.159
which was really disheartening and frightening.
You know, we weren't quite sure what

123
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:20.519
was going on. And but what
happened is that Japan Masaito, a very

124
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:26.159
influential DJ back then played She's Gone
and he got over two and a half

125
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.440
thousand phone calls for the song.
It was. It was just unbelievable,

126
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:37.639
the overwhelming response. So it hit, It hit big, and then I

127
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.919
went to Japan for interviews. I
didn't know what was going on. I

128
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.519
landed and there was probably like four
or five hundred fans waiting for me.

129
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.679
I mean, it was like something
you you know, you kind of read

130
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.399
about you know, the Beatles and
all of that stuff. Then it just

131
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.840
took off and then United States picked
up and then the rest is history.

132
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.879
You know, a little side note
that I was reading that when the album

133
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:05.440
has released, thirty three thousand albums
were sold in one day, in one

134
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.399
day in Japan going platfum. I
mean, that's amazing. You remember the

135
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:16.879
albums then it was fifty dollars an
album over there, fifty dollars. It's

136
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.720
insane, you know, so um, yeah, that was that was extremely

137
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.000
exciting. But those are you know, those are the challenges. It took

138
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:30.600
us what I believe, ten or
thirteen years rehearsing, just sitting around sending

139
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:35.120
tapes of no responses. It's like
and everybody knows this one, and I

140
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.039
know this one, and then you
give the tape and then you know,

141
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.159
it's just everybody's so busy and it
was a lot of work. I'll be

142
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.240
honest with you. We could do
it again. I if I was in

143
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.039
charge, I would definitely give a
lot more opportunities for people, you know,

144
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.320
and try to respond to them as
well. You know, why do

145
00:14:54.399 --> 00:15:01.159
you think rock and roll as we're
discussing hits bigger in pan and other countries

146
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.879
faster than it does sometimes here in
the United States or the UK. Rather

147
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.360
well, I think it's a smaller
demographic first of all. You know,

148
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.120
it's more concentrated smaller countries, and
they get to hear it, and they

149
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.159
get to how would I say,
process it quicker, I think, and

150
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.399
they do it, you know,
take them. I think they take a

151
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.840
little more of a minute to appreciate
it and see what it really is.

152
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.639
United States is so vast, I
mean, to get hurt in United States.

153
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.399
It's like Hendricks didn't make it here
either. You have to go to

154
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.039
the UK. Yeah, I mean
it's just like you know in the United

155
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.200
States. You know, I gotta
say, everyone's fickle, too cool for

156
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.840
school. Sometimes it's like, ah, it's a lot of work, you

157
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:50.279
know, so but at time you
get to reach the people. It just

158
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.080
I mean, it just takes a
long time. It's a lot of people

159
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.080
here. It's a big country.
A lot of amazing artists also and a

160
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.799
lot of bullshit artists. Way,
oh offense, Sorry some artists. I

161
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.840
shouldn't be doing that, it should
be doing something else. And yeah,

162
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.799
it's just difficult to get through without
a doubt. And we talked about this

163
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.080
the last time you were here.
We're not going to go into it as

164
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.399
far as details, but your worst
moment without a doubt, in my opinion,

165
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.799
of course, would have had to
be in your night on Halloween night,

166
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:23.519
since you had to live through the
torment in many different facets. Talk

167
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:27.399
to us just about what went through
your mind, if you can. Oh,

168
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:32.559
well, that was very you know, difficult. For a minute there,

169
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:33.960
I didn't know if I was going
to be able to keep going,

170
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:41.279
keep singing. You know, my
world completely crumbled. I mean, everything

171
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.840
went anything that could go wrong went
wrong. It was almost as if life

172
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:51.320
stripping me, you know, of
everything and rebuilding me so to speak.

173
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:55.240
You know, I wouldn't lie there
for seven months. I didn't leave the

174
00:16:55.240 --> 00:17:00.600
house because my brain swelled and I
couldn't I couldn't even go the bathroom.

175
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.519
Was just a lot of work and
blink. I couldn't blink because the pain

176
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:08.640
was so excruciating. But you know, after a while, it's just had

177
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:14.200
a lot of time to think it
was time to move on, you know.

178
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:19.960
And when I did do that,
the band separated. It was it

179
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.680
wasn't fun. I'd be honest with
you, it was sad. It was

180
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:29.200
sad the way it all kind of
you know, dissipated. But then it

181
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.079
just grew to more stuff than you
know it game, the money missing,

182
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.880
and then managers and legal things.
I mean, it just went from one

183
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:38.839
thing to another thing to another thing. And on top of that, then

184
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:42.880
I started losing memory, and then
I was in a fog. So it

185
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:48.920
was just years of mentally rebuilding my
brain. Wow, I was there in

186
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:53.039
consciousness and then all of a sudden, I just drifted, drifted somewhere else,

187
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.519
and I was just like, whoa, and now I'm here, and

188
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.200
then now I'm not here, And
it was just my conversations with people be

189
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.039
you know, focusing, and all
of a sudden I started talking about something

190
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.240
else. That's what traumatic brain injury
is, you know. So a lot

191
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.920
of things went through my mind.
I did see a lot in those moments.

192
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:17.559
I had learned how to go to
sleep, honestly, which is I

193
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:21.880
know sounds crazy, but at one
point, you know, my life was

194
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.279
such a turmoil that I couldn't fall
asleep. I ended up on a futon

195
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:29.000
in the attic of my friend's house. I mean, go figure, and

196
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.880
I wasn't on drugs, I wasn't
drunk, you know, none of that.

197
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:36.359
And it was just it was just
life said, you know what,

198
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.799
pause, let's let's restart this thing. You know, after that, you

199
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.359
can't sleep, You're stressing out,
you're stressing out in the morning, you're

200
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:47.200
stressed out at night. It's like
and one day I just said, you

201
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:49.880
know what is it, I'm tired. I gotta go to sleep. I

202
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.279
can stress tomorrow, but right now
I need to sleep. All right,

203
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:57.400
good, we got it done.
And from then on till this day,

204
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.839
when I put my head on a
pillow, I'm gone like a baby.

205
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:07.720
Like a baby, because it's it's
time out. You know, you can

206
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.440
start tomorrow stressing out, but if
you take it to bed, it doesn't

207
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.000
work. Nothing changes. But if
you come fresh and wake up fresh,

208
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.880
you're clean, you got your mental
side, you can focus and you can

209
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.960
rebuild. And also what I did, you know it was really crazy?

210
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.799
I thought it was. Was one
of the things that saved me is that

211
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:33.799
I took days off from stressing.
Check check this is this is really funny.

212
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.200
Now here I am okay, I
lost everything. I mean, I'm

213
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.079
done. I'm shot. Burt okay
I'm sitting it with fifteen cents in my

214
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:42.880
podcast, I'm like going, oh
man, this is like, how can

215
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:47.799
this be? You know, in
a minute ago, I'm playing Denver Arena,

216
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.319
you know, but I did,
I said, you know what,

217
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:56.519
I'm getting tired of this. Tomorrow
I'm taking a day off. I'm taking

218
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.759
a day off from stressing. I'm
taking a day off from thinking. I'm

219
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.079
taking in a day off from abusing
myself, you know, or other people

220
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:07.720
whatever they think. I don't give
a shit. Tomorrow is a day off

221
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:10.720
and I'd wake up and I go, okay, today is a day off,

222
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.759
and it works. It really works. Okay. It gives you a

223
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.559
moment to reset, you know,
give yourself a moment because this is life,

224
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.720
you know, and it's it's like, we're not perfect, but it

225
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:27.359
would be great to take a minute, even if you're whatever you're doing,

226
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.960
window shop and take a walk.
I would fall asleep in the park on

227
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:36.319
the grass, you know, and
just take that moment, and then the

228
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:40.079
next day you can start stressing all
over again. So definitely a mind over

229
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:45.960
matter things. So would you say
that your best moment personally was after all

230
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.400
that experience and then you came back. Would you say that was one of

231
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:55.960
your best moments personally? Yeah,
you know whatever. One really major moment

232
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.319
was when we were mixing the Weight
record which we all die young is down

233
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:06.200
there, and I believe Kit was. I'm a friend of mine and producer

234
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:10.960
that we made that record. We
passed away recently a very dear friend Kit

235
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:12.880
was mixed and I believe we all
die young. I believe it was that

236
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:18.559
song. And it was after dinner, and we were in England, beautiful

237
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.440
studio and the chefs were amazing,
so we couldn't wait for dinner. So

238
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.359
after dinner, I got my feet
up on the desk and I'm kind of

239
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.000
taking a nat while he's mixing,
but I could still hear everything, you

240
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.000
know, but I'm falling into a
nice space, and out of nowhere,

241
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:40.559
something just picked me up off my
chair. I just I mean, I

242
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.119
stood up, like, I mean
like something picked me up. And I

243
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:47.559
stood up, and Kit looks like, WHOA, What's going on? What

244
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.640
happened? What's the matter? I
go, holy shit, I'm back,

245
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:56.240
I'm back in this world. It
was so I can't I can't even explain

246
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.920
it. It was like now I
was in back in this world. Before

247
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.960
I'm always like you know, in
out, in out fuzzy and I came

248
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.759
back and it was just remarkable,
a supernatural moment. You know, all

249
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.880
we saw on TV or heard on
the radio was just the end result of

250
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.640
a lot of blood, sweat and
tears that bands went through. And in

251
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.359
this case, steel Heart yourself.
Let's take a short breather. When we

252
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.319
come back, we'll be reading some
questions from fans that we just got.

253
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:29.319
We'll be back with steel Heart.
Back to the Eighties Radio. You're listening

254
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:38.400
to Back to the eighties. Oh, do you remember the first time you

255
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:44.720
tried these games? Space fuck?
Let's practice cop do y'alllex see? And

256
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.759
when you first tried and coke and
you said no, thank you, But

257
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:53.279
let's try and coke again? Because
once you got that new wave of taste,

258
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:56.799
do you want to try it again
and again and again? No practice?

259
00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:02.680
Catch the way, cocag If you
can't wear a spandex jumpsuit, what

260
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:11.279
can you do this? Back to
the Ages Radio, we are joined by

261
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.720
steel Hart. We did say some
questions from fans. They want to have

262
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.359
you hopefully answer them. So here's
a few questions. Here's one from Diane

263
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:25.920
Orange County, California. She says, what's the strangest thing that ever happened

264
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:29.920
to you while on tour? Aside
from the accident? Of course, maybe

265
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.519
one of the funniest strange things.
I would say that comes to mind right

266
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.359
away. We were doing Everybody Loves
Eileen video? Do you remember that video?

267
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:47.759
And I had these uh suede suede
fringe like Indian pants and we'd be

268
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.599
jam and touring performing anyway. That
night I was like losing, how would

269
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.799
I say, just having a lot
of fun. And I'm in a front

270
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.640
row and there's a bunch of people
in the front row and I'll never forget

271
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.759
it. There was a couple of
girls in the front row and I and

272
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.400
I'm saying I do to backbend,
you know, scream, and my pants

273
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:15.400
ripped an half no under it.
So I guess that was a kind of

274
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:22.160
strange, kind of funny. Ricardo
from the Bronx asking is there a song

275
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.480
that you wish you had recorded?
So I'm assuming he means just out of

276
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.519
any song in the world, is
there a song that you wish it would

277
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:33.279
have been you recording that song?
Ah? Um, I would probably you

278
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.960
know what suppose they stay with Stare
with happen if there was one song that

279
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.640
I would like to do, you
know, And I did do an acoustic

280
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:42.559
version of Stare what Happened, by
the way, never released it, and

281
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:47.279
it was it's actually really nice.
It's got a nice vibe to it.

282
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.359
But I would say that, yes, there would happen, I do.

283
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:55.319
I think that's a beautiful song and
that's forever. Tammy from Florida is asking,

284
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:59.240
is there an eighties band that's not
rock that you really enjoy listening to?

285
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.839
Well, here's my problem. I'm
good to be really honest. My

286
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.880
problem is as you see the studio
that you're that you're seeing absolutely okay.

287
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:12.680
I'm in here like all the time. Okay, So I when I leave

288
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:17.480
here, I don't listen to bands. I don't listen to me. I

289
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:22.680
listened to classical music, meditation music
because it's too much. So I'm a

290
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.359
little bit out of the loop to
be brutally honest. We got Joe Anne

291
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.960
from Seattle just asking, how do
you take care of your voice because you

292
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:36.599
do sing those extremely high notes and
what is the most difficult song to sing?

293
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.279
Well, they're all difficult straight up, okay, um, but to

294
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.200
take care of my voice. I
really um, well, I don't smoke.

295
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.680
I gotta go easy, you know, very moderate on the alcohol because

296
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.640
it strips your throat, you know, if you're drinking and a let um.

297
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:56.279
I don't know drugs. Uh,
it's honey, tea, a lot

298
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:03.200
of water. And the best thing
for me that I really really love is

299
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.839
the more I sing, the better
I get. And recently it's been so

300
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:15.160
much of these days it's like all
of it's like more of promotion and everything

301
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:19.720
else than singing, you know,
and I'm just doing all the I'm actually

302
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:25.279
singing Eileen right now for the thirtieth
album, finishing that up. And yesterday

303
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:30.720
I sang a good eight hours.
It feels so good. So a lot

304
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:34.599
of singing, hot water, honey, a lot of rest and that's it.

305
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:37.799
Just go easy on the alcohol and
no smoking, you know. But

306
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.480
let me say this, I love
a Scotch and a good cigar once in

307
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:45.000
a while. You know. It's
you know, being a singer, it's

308
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:49.640
not just about singing. There's so
much involved. It's a it's a keep

309
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:55.359
healthy, you gotta sing, You've
got it's a mental you know. There's

310
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:57.799
so many facets to being a singer. It's not just like boom boom go.

311
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:02.799
You know, well involved. I'm
sure all the singers know that.

312
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.960
Another note I rerecorded She's Gone with
a forty piece orchestra for this album.

313
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:14.799
Wow, And it's just vocals,
vocals, piano and a forty piece orchestra.

314
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.319
It is. I think it's gorgeous, Okay, I'd love to hear

315
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.519
that. Yeah, it's I'm really
excited for the world to hear it.

316
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.480
I hope you guys will like it's
special. You know, Chang, remember

317
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.359
about a couple of weeks ago,
I started listening to one by one through

318
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:34.000
your entire albums, right, do
you remember changed about two weeks ago what

319
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:37.640
I told you about the song She's
Gone. Yeah, you said that was

320
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:42.400
one of your favorites. Yeah,
you said that it was very balanced,

321
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:48.119
ballad like, poetic, deep lyrics. You said that was probably one of

322
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:53.000
your now favorite songs that you can
go back to the eighties and grab.

323
00:27:53.279 --> 00:28:00.720
Yeah. It literally is a masterpiece
musically speaking. You know, my younger,

324
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.920
my youngest son, who's a guitarist, I had him listened to it

325
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:08.839
with I would say a considerable amount
of volume in the car, and he

326
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:15.799
was just like Wow, amazing song. You jam with Zach, Matt and

327
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:22.720
Jeff when you guys are cracking that
movie star right, and you still keep

328
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.400
in touch with those cats. Have
you gotten into studio with him just for

329
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:33.200
fun or any other kind of business
with those cats? Well, what we're

330
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:36.839
working on, you know. In
twenty nineteen, I actually put together a

331
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:41.720
show with a promoter in pomp on
a Beach, Florida, and we were

332
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.920
going to actually do Steel Dragon.
We were going to do a show.

333
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.480
Jason wasn't going to do it because
he was on tour and so not on

334
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:51.480
tour. He just, I don't
know, couldn't do it or something.

335
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:57.200
But it was me, Zach Wilde, Jeff Pilson, and Matt Srem Literally

336
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:02.960
I think it was I want to
say, March something, and then the

337
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.640
pandemic hit. It just cut it. So so then we waited, and

338
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.200
we waited till the summer, and
then it was pushed back to the winner,

339
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:14.880
and then it was put to the
next year, and then two years

340
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:21.319
went by. So right now I'm
actually waiting on a couple of offers and

341
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:23.440
I hope that I can reach out
to the guys and see if we can

342
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:26.039
do a show. Or two,
you know, with Steal the Dragon,

343
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:29.960
which would be pretty wicked. Bro. Yeah, I think there'll be a

344
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:36.440
loop love it. There's a decline
in the type of music talent that is

345
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:41.920
getting promoted and played nowadays as opposed
to in our era. I'd even say

346
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:48.519
up to the nineties with the kicking
in the door of grunge. But would

347
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:55.119
you not say the decline of musical
talent and musical substance that we lack.

348
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:59.920
Are three reasons, and here are
those reasons. The decline of terrestrial race

349
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:07.720
deal free form radio, the end
of the radio personality, the end of

350
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:12.960
music stores being able to go out
there listen to music at a venue.

351
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.079
Tickets weren't that expensive, bands were
able to play more, there was a

352
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:22.759
lot more pr to the business.
Do you think with the decline of music

353
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:30.000
now all three things are of equivalence
and lead to this decline? Well,

354
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:33.880
I definitely all all three and more. You know, I can add to

355
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:38.079
that too. I think. I
think what's happening is that the talent,

356
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:44.079
a lot of talented artists who are
artists, that's who they are. There

357
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:47.599
boot us let's what I call them, their boot us, their channels.

358
00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:51.920
They are true to their art.
That's what they do, and those are

359
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:55.680
the people we gotta this is work
with me, or I'll try to explain

360
00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:57.400
all of what I'm saying is there
are people that we have to protect.

361
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:02.079
Those are the people we have to
find, nurture and build because they're giving

362
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:07.319
us information, they're giving us memories, good feelings, or psychological health,

363
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:12.279
I mean all the above, okay. And what I see is that a

364
00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:21.119
lot of those artists don't have the
capacity or the amount of information that comes

365
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:25.759
through artists. Is a lot of
shit going on, okay, and then

366
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:32.400
to have to start twitting or to
start doing this Facebook and the TikTok and

367
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.839
the yip cock and the lock cock
and all that shit, okay, it

368
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:41.200
burns them out. Okay, But
now you got these other guys not as

369
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:44.119
good. They're not really artists.
They got something, you know, they'll

370
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:45.799
put something together or the you know, some music. It's not bad,

371
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:49.440
but they're really good in everything else. And then they'll do it for a

372
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.400
year or two and they're like,
ah, that's not what I do.

373
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.839
I'm actually an accountant. And it's
like, well, you're in the way

374
00:31:55.880 --> 00:32:00.920
of true artists, right, So
we kind of use a lot of that.

375
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:05.440
I feel there's so many people in
the way. We have seventy thousand

376
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:12.640
songs uploaded to Spotify a day,
seventy thousand. Who the hell makes all

377
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:16.119
these songs? That's because because now
you know, nowadays you can anyone can

378
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:20.440
make a song. It's easy.
Just you can just get her off the

379
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:22.599
internet. You get you get a
track off the internet, and then you

380
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.079
go and wrap on it, put
us and then and then put it up.

381
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:29.119
It's like who old, Maybe I've
become famous. It's like winning.

382
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.359
It's like a lot of thing,
you know. So we have that,

383
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:37.880
we lost the authenticity. How do
we bring that back? How do we

384
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:42.519
bring back live music? You know, we have to ask for it,

385
00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:45.680
The fans have to to ask for
it, you know. But you know,

386
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:49.559
then again, you know, times
are changing and it is what it

387
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:52.400
is today. That's the only that's
the thing. How do we how do

388
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:54.880
we bring some of that back?
The future is here and we are moving

389
00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:59.599
forward and we have to accept that. But how do we bring some of

390
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:04.519
that energy back? Because what I'm
hearing constant conversations is, oh, how

391
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.839
amazing it was in the eighties.
Oh you guys missed the eighties oh,

392
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:09.359
man, that was so amazing.
Then it was so much fun, and

393
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:13.799
it's true, it really was.
So how do we bring some of that

394
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:19.160
energy back? You know? And
yeah, the DJs now they have zero

395
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.599
pull zero. They have a tape. They put in the tape and that's

396
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:29.240
what you're playing. That's it.
There's three majors that own the music business.

397
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:31.200
I'm old school bro, just like
you. And to me, growing

398
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:35.000
up, I wasn't a TV kid. I was all about sports, but

399
00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.599
it was all about the radio.
I grew up with great jocks. That's

400
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:42.200
the one thing I wanted to do
before I checked out of this world.

401
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:46.200
I wanted to be an on air
personality. And the reason being because with

402
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:50.640
my backing of my parents, I
was brought a very al much like a

403
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:55.440
civil activist. I fear nothing.
My father was a tremendous a great mentor

404
00:33:55.480 --> 00:34:00.240
to me in his teachings and his
ways of life. So to man,

405
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:05.640
growing up, music was everything to
me. Music and comedy the only two

406
00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:09.320
entities that we can captivate a mass
group of people at one time. And

407
00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:15.079
there is nothing but harmony that would
make a way sweeter world. And what

408
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:20.039
we are up against now, I
feel is the powers above of above that

409
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:25.199
bring us music that prostitute individuals to
sing. I think it's more of how

410
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:31.559
you look, how sexy you can
be, how ridiculously stupid you could possibly

411
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:37.599
be. Is what is making the
industry's money because they can rip these individuals

412
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:40.519
off because they have no substance.
So I think great bands that we grew

413
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:43.719
up with, a great band such
as yours. Bro, I mean,

414
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:45.559
dude, you got to kill the
chops. I mean it's metal all the

415
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:51.159
way. Bro. You know what
I'm saying, you guys are your styles

416
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:55.000
those styles are becoming a dying breed. Yeah, I agree with you.

417
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.920
You know, I did like what
you said that the prostitution of you know,

418
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:02.679
artists. You know. Interesting.
What I will say is that it

419
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:10.280
does come down to one thing,
money and the amount of greed that I

420
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.519
see personally. Sorry, but it's
just still money. Me me, I

421
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:21.159
I let me be the big swing
and penis here. I'm the guy.

422
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:24.559
I'm you know, it's all about
me, this and that and I got

423
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:30.480
this. I have that. We
lost the honesty. Okay, it's the

424
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:32.920
honesty of making music. You know. People say to me. I gotta

425
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:37.480
tell you a lot of people say
to me, why are you still making

426
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:40.559
music? All these other bands don't
really make you know, in my genre,

427
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.239
they don't make any more music.
Really, they will once in a

428
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.800
while, but they're kind of done
with it, you know. I mean

429
00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:51.559
some of my friends who are in
this genre thirty years, they haven't made

430
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:55.639
a record and they won't. Why
because they don't see the value in it.

431
00:35:55.800 --> 00:36:00.000
Okay, because not that it's gonna
make money or anything, but I

432
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:05.039
don't see it that way. There
is a value. There's a value for

433
00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:08.639
me. There's a value of energy. There's something I need to say,

434
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:13.039
and if it's coming through me,
like the song Trust and Love I wrote,

435
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.000
I mean, this ship comes through
me. What am I gonna not

436
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:19.199
go record it? Of course I'm
gonna record it. I'm gonna record it,

437
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.360
and I'm gonna record it. I'm
gonna make crazy videos and I'm gonna

438
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:25.480
do whatever I gotta do to do
what I'm supposed to do. That's what

439
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:30.920
artists have to do. And maybe
some of more of that honesty with the

440
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:35.719
rest of them, maybe we can
rise to a new level. You know.

441
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:38.599
But right now it's become so digital, you know, not that I

442
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:42.960
like some of that stuff, you
know, but it's become so digital,

443
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:46.079
and some of it's become like really, I mean really, I'm fucking making

444
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:49.679
so much money on that. It's
like, oh God, bless you man.

445
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:52.480
You know what I mean, check
this out. It's like this,

446
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:55.280
right. You listen to those records. You listen to all those older records

447
00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:00.880
when we went in that studio.
Okay, there's no auto tune, there's

448
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:05.639
no pitching, there's no fixing,
there's no cutting. Either you got it

449
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:10.239
or you don't. So one of
your passions, Emili is helping humanity in

450
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:15.119
any way that is possible. And
if you can just talk to us about

451
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:19.880
trust and love. There's a project
involved with all this which I sincerely believe

452
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:24.239
is got the potential to do a
lot of great things for everybody. Talk

453
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:28.880
to us about that, well,
I really do hope. So you know,

454
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:32.280
sometimes I mean sometimes I see I
wish I could just shake everybody for

455
00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:36.639
a second and just showed, hey, this is it, guys, this

456
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.920
is life. This is happening us
doing this interview right now. We are

457
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:45.119
choosing to be together to do this
interview and talk about this. Every moment

458
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:51.639
of the day is life, ti, Okay, And it could be gone

459
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:54.320
in any second. As my accident, I was spared. I should have

460
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:58.639
been dead. I should have been
dead on that stage. Absolutely that that

461
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:02.599
impact, except that I was spared, and I just I'm through my songs.

462
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:07.480
I'm just trying to send a message, a message of raising our vibration

463
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:10.920
of intelligence. We're all there,
we all see it right now. It's

464
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:15.679
like I feel like the world is
being tested with the war in Ukraine.

465
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:22.760
I feel this one man is testing
the world to our level of intelligence.

466
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:28.639
It is unifying a lot of people. It is definitely unifying. So it's

467
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:32.360
I feel like we are growing and
my message is to rise and raise the

468
00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:36.440
vibration. That's what I want to
do. And that's what the song is.

469
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:40.000
Trust and love, that's what it's
about. And you know, I

470
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:43.159
don't know. I know we're pressed
for time, so I can go on

471
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:45.320
with it for an hour, but
I just want to say, guys,

472
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:51.480
this is life. It's ticking,
and you know we are all we all

473
00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:54.719
see a new level of thinking.
The old ways is not working. It

474
00:38:54.840 --> 00:39:00.320
we already did it. War doesn't
work, But it's time to it's time

475
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:05.119
to step up. I feel it's
time to step up in every area.

476
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:08.639
I want you to go out check

nineteenth or August twentieth, one of those

478
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:17.639
two days, we're shooting a movie
and the movie is uh. The movie

479
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:22.960
which I'll be also acting in is
uh. The song Trust and Love is

480
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:28.880
the theme of the movie, and
the director loved the song so much they

481
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:31.639
changed the title of the movie to
trust and Love. What could be better?

482
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:35.480
