experience on Earth. This is the one

13
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:30.280
that made that decade so freaking awesome. Don't forget that we are here every

know and send us a direct message
via our Facebook page. Now, as

18
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:52.000
always, we cannot, we should
not, we must not, and will

19
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.959
not do the show alone because with
us is a man who currently has been

20
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:04.400
singing cover songs from Culture Club on
the weekends, but here on the back

21
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:09.919
to the eighties radio show, we
call him the ever wondrous and lustrous Chang.

22
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.680
Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys
and girls, let us all op

23
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.039
the top on another great show.
How is everybody doing this evening? And

24
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.400
yes, it is always a joy, a joy that you can only get

25
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.840
from receiving a gift. And the
gift from the Great Spirit to me is

26
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:34.680
sitting side by side with the greatest
Italian since Chef Oyrd and the guy that

27
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:39.080
creates that pizza. Whoever you are, Tuscannell. It's always good to see

28
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.319
my brother. You know, it's
great to be back. We missed a

29
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.479
couple of weeks and we want to
apologize to holiday. But but well that's

30
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:53.719
one. But number two is I
got the famous omicron and that treated me

31
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.960
very very bad. But luckily we
are back here, back to stay.

32
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:02.639
We are healthier than ever taking those
supplements and everything that you need to get

33
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.960
better. So I just appreciate your
guys' support of the show. Regardless off

34
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:13.159
Tiscano Win Chang are not on the
air. You guys have been faithful,

35
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:19.560
been listening to the programs and it's
been great. We recently introduced the Eighties

36
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.919

00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:30.319
addition to that, stay tuned because

00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.919
to go into late night. So
you want to stick around and listen to

40
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:46.639
everything that Chang wants to talk about
about the eighties, especially about the music

41
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.960
of that air, So you don't
want to miss that. You also don't

42

rock music that has ever been recorded.

44
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.520
So come on, let's go back

00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.600
right, welcome back all you cats
and kitties, eighties ladies and everything in

54
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.480
between. You are listening to Scotwin
Cheng right here, back to the eighties

55
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:57.000
radio. We are pretty much giving
you a I hard one and a hint

56
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:01.000
of our topic tonight. We are
going to get a little bit personal.

57
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.800
But please, ladies and gentlemen,
feist team. We are not going to

58
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.480
We're not going to get over the
counter and throw gloves. We may we

59
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.120
may have a toe wrestling match to
see who really is the stronger one in

60
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.399
this category. Put enough about that
now. Jascano, my brother, my

61
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:25.079
partner in crime, the driver of
the back to the eighties, back to

62
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.079
the future vehicle of course you always
drive, yeah, of course you were.

63
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.079
I drive because I am the better
drive. No, you drive because

64
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.279
you were at one time in law
enforcement. You look like a first officer.

65
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.759
If we were to get pulled over
somewhere in the sky, they would

66
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.120
ask me, do you have any
warrants? Have you been in prison?

67
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.480
Is your license all right? I
got to clear something out. Just for

68
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.839
a disclaimer, I was never in
law enforcement, per se. I worked

69
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:57.279
for three letter agencies that cannot be
named. That's all I can tell you,

70
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.519
Siscano, What song comes to my
mind when you say that named the

71
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.680
band Lies Lies Lies. Yeah.
Now that we're going to kick off the

72
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:08.279
show and talk about pop rock,
there was a huge increase in the use

73
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:14.439
of digital recording, the use of
synthesizers associated with pop music and electronic genres.

74
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.319
But let me give you a little
side note. As we get this

75
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:23.879
show kicked off, there was a
survey conducted by the digital broadcaster music Choice

76
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:29.000
group It's a long Name, I
Know, which pulled over one hundred thousand

77
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:33.759
people since the start of this poll
in two ten, and the poll revealed

78
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:42.480
that the nineteen eighties was the most
favored music decade of the last fifty years.

79
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.680
My friend, how do you like
that right onto the age. I

80
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.920
love it. I love it right
on of our decade. Damn straight,

81
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.360
damn straight. We know more than
everybody else, you know, regardless of

82
00:06:53.519 --> 00:07:00.879
what the new generation is bringing,
people will always go back to the eighties

83
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:09.879
music and before because music makes that
imprint in your soul. So eighties and

84
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:15.560
before that imprint on your soul was
made, except if you grew up in

85
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:21.879
the era of the doo wop motown, we can never forget about that.

86
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.759
Well, that's why I said eighties
and before so eighties, seventies, sixties,

87
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:31.199
fifties, those were times when music
was just ingrained and made an actual

88
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:36.959
difference, life changing, life altering
music. And it was you know,

89
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.439
the eighties. Now that we're talking
about the eighties, it saw the rise

90
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.000
of music giants. And today we're
gonna be talking about pop rock music.

91
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.600
And there's a lot of different bands
and artists that are included in the pop

92
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.399
rock genre that, by the way, that you're not gonna believe chang If

93
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.319
you were to ask me what do
you think of when you hear pop rock,

94
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:01.439
I'm gonna name bands for example,
like Huey Lewis and The News.

95
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.120
I'm gonna name bands such as Bruce
Springsteen and The E Street Band, but

96
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:11.480
I would never think of other groups
and artists that we're going to mention here

97
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:18.160
tonight. It saw the rise of
music giants such as Michael Jackson, Prince

98
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:24.720
Madonna, Whitney Houston, and even
though Mike Partner in Radio Crime hates to

99
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:31.159
admit it, MTV was launching and
relaunching careers of those bands and artists that

100
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:37.919
came even from decades past, and
created a way for artists to reinvent themselves

101
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.960
in the midst of a new musical
revolution. Thank you, lay gentlemen.

102
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.440
Thank you. The applause as much
appreciated. Disappointing. Well, today we're

103
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:54.000
gonna be talking about some bands that
are both in the rock pop genre and

104
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.960
bands that you didn't know we're in
the rock pop genre. We're going to

105
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.960
be kind of going back and forth, Chang, between Chang and myself nowadays,

106
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.639
with things so screwed up in society, Chang, I think there's no

107
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:13.120
better time than now to make people
smile, to make people know something new

108
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.039
about music. And as you've told
us before on the show many times,

109
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:24.240
music is one of those things in
the universe that can unite the people who

110
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.879
I will swear by that when my
eyes close. As a matter of fact,

111
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.799
I've told my children if there is
anything that anyone is going to say,

112
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:39.320
I please please urge everybody. I
was me all the time. I

113
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.159
never pretended, but everything I did
to make people laughless for one reason,

114
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.639
to make people feel. Somebody feel
better than they did the first time they

115
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:54.039
met me. Because at a glimpse, life changes. Things can go to

116
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.679
shit, things can go great.
You know, we could win, we

117
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.440
could lose. But at those times, it's always a little bit more sugar

118
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.200
in the sweetening of the beverage.
If there's a little bit of a chuckle.

119
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.320
We're glad that you joined us today, and we want to give a

120
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.799
special shout out if you're listening for
the very first time, and a very

121
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.279
special shout out if you're listening to
us. From the University of Utah.

122
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.200

123
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.759

129
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.879
the Caribbean have been listening to the
show here. So we want to give

130
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:03.120
you guys a special shout out for
making us a number one eighties radio show

131
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.559
on Earth. You know what,
Tuscanno would be a beautiful thing if we

132
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:13.120
could do a show live from the
Caribbean islands and send us a ticket and

133
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.879
we'll be there. We'll send us, yes please, as we paid so

134
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:24.120
much attention and hard work to our
show. As we sit on these shores

135
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:30.840
and sip cocktails true Tuscanno, Yes, very true, and indulging in everything

136
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:37.679
we can, from lobsters to coronals, especially because we don't really get any

137
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.519
of that on a daily basis.
But no boloney sandwiches. Yes, there

138
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:50.799
are some bands on our lists to
today that you may not prefer, but

139
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:56.919
the bottom line is waute tick,
oh, here we go, no you

140
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.000
see wait a minute back. Every
time I'm going to make an important point,

141
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:01.879
you come up with your hate.
No, no, wait a minute,

142
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:07.080
Harriet, listen to me, Johnny
Cochrane, the glove does fit.

143
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:13.799
Now back up right away, ahead, who judge duty. That's a good

144
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.720
one. That is a good one, Johnny Cochrane. It's a good one.

145
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.559
Now you I almost lost my train
of thought, but no, I

146
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.559
am back on track because I am
a running full steam ahead as to you

147
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.679
opening the show, already directing our
beautiful listeners, yea, to the negative

148
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.679
train, to where subconsciously you are
already persuading them. Here you see,

149
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:43.639
here we go. Wait, am
I join a radio show with a Trump's

150
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:50.600
illegitimate child? What's going on in
the dojo? Please? Please? If

151
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.000
we were in a court, ye, law, you would have to either

152
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.799
say objection true, But there's no
judge to hear you, so you have

153
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.320
to you have to just wait until
I finished. All right, Pour yourself

154
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.639
a nice cool shot. Yeah,
light up with stokey and just listen to

155
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.440
my point. All right? Go
ahead, My god. It's like it's

156
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.039
like being in court with the dream
team of OJ, and OJ's just sitting

157
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.080
there. Who wants to sign jersey? You're looking for? Who wants to

158
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:26.600
sign a booty? Sock with no
ball. He's already given you hate,

159
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.679
all right, So let's talk about
the bands today that made the eighties so

160
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:37.519
great. Objection, give me a
chat. Let's talk about the bands that

161
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.879
made the eighties so great and talking
about those bands that were involved in the

162
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:48.759
rock pop genre. This first band
that I want to talk about is probably

163
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.320
in my I want to say my
top three bands of all time. I'm

164
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:58.519
talking this this band that you like
or you do this band I put probably

165
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.919
on par and I'm going to dare
to say this with my favorite band of

166
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.000
all time that I'm sure will mention
later on in the show. Oh,

167
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:15.080
but the band that I am talking
about is Total. Asking me about what

168
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:20.519
my opinion is of Total or please
you know what, We're not playing the

169
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.279
game yet. So I agree with
you on Total. That is a great

170
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.320
band. Why do you think they're
a great band? And then I'll tell

171
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.960
you why I agree with you and
why I think they're a great band,

172
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.639
because that is a band that I
do enjoy. First of all, Total

173
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.519
was a band that was formed in
the seventies and seventy seven. I also

174
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:43.919
love Toto because it was formed in
la and it consisted of Steve Lucather who

175
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:50.720
played the guitars and did vocals,
David Pike with did keyboards and vocals,

176
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.919
Joseph Williams on vocals, as well
as Toria with musicians such as John Pierce

177
00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:00.399
who will played the bass and Robert
spot Sawright who was on the drums,

178
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:05.440
and Dominique Xavier Tamblin on keyboards and
vocals. So throughout the years, Total

179
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:11.120
is a band that has been through
many musicians for different reasons. But the

180
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.679
top three guys in Toto, the
three guys that started everything, well,

181
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:22.120
the four but the drummer died unfortunately
not too long ago. But the top

182
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:28.840
three guys that still remain have been
with Toto for a long time and they

183
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:35.879
have produced songs that will go down
as staples of not only eighties music,

184
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:41.039
but staples of music that hits the
heart, hits the mind, hits the

185
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:48.840
soul, music that has been revered
by critics all around the world as being

186
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.840
works of art. So Total is
a band that just will remain for the

187
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.559
rest of history. You know what, I agree with you. And being

188
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:07.639
from an Ice, California, Total
always seemed like such a professional, intelligent

189
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:12.399
band. Uh they were to me
kind of like Los Angeles's Chicago or where

190
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:18.799
they utilized different sounds, different instruments, different singers. Uh you know,

191
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.879
there was always a different vibration to
every album. Uh you know, all

192
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:30.399
though Chicago was there a lot before
U Total, and they too suffered the

193
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.759
loss of their guitar player, but
who was their founding lead singer at the

194
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:38.919
time of the seventies With Chicago Total, I remember when the uh, the

195
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.600
loss of their drummer occurred and they
went off off into their own hiatus for

196
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.960
a bit, And when they came
back, they were just as professional and

197
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:56.039
just as I thought, as tight, but somewhere from the alt their their

198
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:02.000
earlier music to what I heard after
that sounded a little different. And I'll

199
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:07.920
always go and I will always say
that in my ear Wait, I've always

200
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.279
thought this in my own mind.
Every time a band suffers a loss in

201
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:18.519
any form or whatever magnitude and a
new individual comes into the band, that

202
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.160
original sound will never be the same
or duplicated. It's a different vibration.

203
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.680
There's a break in the circuit.
This is now a new circuit that is

204
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:33.279
getting tied in to the control board, your panel board to to rel that

205
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.519
electricity. So it's a little bit
stronger, maybe not as strong, but

206
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:42.880
it's going to take it a while
until it merges into the whole wire and

207
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:48.759
becomes a solid circuit. If if
you understand where I'm coming from, ladies

208
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:56.000
and gentlemen and you, I'm not
pointing out a bottom line an analogy of

209
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.759
my ear. Yeah, okay,
yeah, your analogy isn't any of hate,

210
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.599
thank you, specific than I with
Toto. Toto is one of those

211
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:10.400
bands. Toto is one of those
bands that has remained pretty faithful to the

212
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:15.079
original sound until today. You know
from Steve Lucather and Randy Goodram, wizard

213
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:22.279
of writing songs, writing songs such
as the one that I want to play

214
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:26.880
for you guys tonight, this is
I'll be over. You are the one

215
00:18:26.920 --> 00:19:04.559
and only back to the eighties radio
so dream so I know lives, that's

216
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:25.640
how must be. That's one it
takes sometimes God goes. I know that

217
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:41.559
I can't forget you. As soon
as my heart stream and tea, as

times, don't mind basis we are me?

219
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:23.519
What all the reasons why mother says
they were the so they do.

220
00:20:26.559 --> 00:21:07.480
As soon as my sha as for

223
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.359
Back to the eighties radio, that
was I'll Be Over You from the

224
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:15.079
One in Only Toto nineteen eighty six. Wow. Now after a song like

225
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:19.880
that, man, Look, you
can hear any music you want, Chang,

226
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:26.000
But after you hear this song that
we just heard, man, you

227
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:32.480
are in a state of bliss,
a musical bliss, and that was brought

228
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:36.759
to us by the One in Only
Toto. If you've just joined us for

229
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:41.400
the very first time, we are
going back and forth with Chang talking about

230
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.480
rock pop bands and songs of the
eighties. Both the hate goes back and

231
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.279
forth. If you want to drop
us a note here, you can do

232
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:53.960
so going to our Facebook fan page
and dropping us a direct message. In

233
00:22:55.039 --> 00:23:00.519
the meantime, Chang, I'm going
to give you an opportunity to come hard

234
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.400
at me. No, I don't
okay, I don't want I don't want

235
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:04.960
you to be the good. I
don't want you to be the good Mickey

236
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.440
Mouse Angel and I'm the devil Mickey
Mouse. Goofy No, but it was

237
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:14.119
I referred to myself. I said, there's hate going back and forth.

238
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.799
Anyway, bro, now here is
a band that I loved, I grew

239
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:21.279
up listening to as a matter of
fact, one of the first hard rock

240
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:25.319
albums that Wait a second, I'm
sorry to interrupt you real quick. Did

241
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.480
you say you loved this band?
Yes? I loved them. I loved

242
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:30.559
them. That means that, Okay, that means I'm gonna hate it anyway.

243
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:34.920
Go ahead, Wow, you see
you see Italian monster. I want

244
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:38.240
to know as soon as I mentioned
that there would be something you hate,

245
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.079
you put a cult forty five.
I don't know from what era of all

246
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:47.720
chrome on the top of your desk. What's up with that? It's here?

247
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:51.440
Wow? Well it's here just to
caress for me to let you know

248
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:55.519
that, Oh I love good music. You would Italian? I tell you,

249
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.079
pack and lead everywhere. If you're
not eating pasta, you're shooting somebody

250
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.119
to follow by example, son of
a bitch. Now anywhere. Here's a

251
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:08.599
band that I grew up love you. That is Errol Smith. My sister

252
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.680
bought their albums and I started listening
to them. I mean way before my

253
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:21.440
teams. My brother, I mean
from their albums of Toys in the Attic

254
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:27.759
Rocks all the way through the eighties. This band was epic hard rock,

255
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:34.720
acid rock, classified later as classic
rock. But no raw, ruthless hard

256
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:38.759
rock blues. We're gonna get epped
up, We're gonna get in some fights,

257
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.640
We're gonna do some crazy stuff rock
and roll. I was kicked in

258
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:45.920
the knees, kicked in the nuts, smacked in the back of the head

259
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:52.720
in the nineteen eighties when this band
that I adored came out with some of

260
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:59.240
the music that they did. Now
to Scannell, do you not love Errol

261
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:03.920
Smith from era or do you enjoy
and love then in the eighties when you

262
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:14.160
were wearing Penny loafers, maybe I
had the Don Johnson lawn creepers. You

263
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:18.880
were wearing maybe a Cure baseball shirt
that you thought looked like a cool Rush

264
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.880
shirt. I don't know, no, no, let me tell you this.

265
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:27.279
I love Aerosmith. I don't know
if you knew this, but Aerosmith

266
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:32.799
is the best selling American hard rock
band of all time. They have sold

267
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:37.640
more than one hundred and fifty million
records worldwide, including over eighty five million

268
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:44.200
records only in the United States.
They had twenty five gold, eighteen platinum,

269
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:48.759
and twelve multi platinum albums. I
mean, they hold a record for

270
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:53.359
the most total certifications by an American
group and are tied for the most platinum

271
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:57.960
albums by any American group. How
do you like that? I would say

272
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.759
they are America because led Zeppelin,
I mean straight out of Boston. I

273
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.440
mean, and these cats never changed. It's the same band when they started.

274
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:10.880
Yeah, guys dropped off because they
were getting loaded. It's always been

275
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:17.640
the ever so sexy Stephen Title,
Joe Perry, sizzling, Tom Hamilton with

276
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:22.119
bangs and no bangs, always carrying
it tough, Joey Kramer and Brad Whit

277
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.440
for. These guys stay tight,
the same band, very similar to another

278
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.599
band We're going to talk about later, and I'll mention him now, Jeff

279
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.839
Leopard, your favorite band the other
or not? Their music style change,

280
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.440
they stay true to the same lot
bread band there. Errol Smith to me,

281
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.559
I enjoyed a lot of their eighties
music, a lot of it,

282
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:44.720
but I wasn't going to crank at
my truck. I wasn't going to headbang.

283
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.519
It wasn't going to make me have
a whiskey shot or whoever's enjoying that

284
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.200
music. Why it was Errol Smith
catchy stuff. They always kept that kind

285
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.720
of blues, whether it when poppy
or it was hard ass kicking rock.

286
00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.880
Right, you can agree or you
don't. Everybody out there yet enlightening with

287
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:06.839
go and download some of Aerosmith's older
stuff off the album I mentioned. They're

288
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:11.200
gonna blow you away. They're like
the early day Guns n' Roses there.

289
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.160
I want to take this moment and
say, Chang, you've hit the nail

290
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:21.839
right on the head and agree with
you on everything you've said. Is the

291
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.839
Aerosmith is one of those bands that
I absolutely love. And you know what,

292
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:32.319
Chang back in freaking eighties when they
were making this music, they had

293
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:36.720
no idea, along with any other
eighties band, but they had no idea

294
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.400
that their music was way ahead of
their time. It is just as relevant

295
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:48.079
today as it was in the eighties. You nailed it on the head right

296
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:51.000
there. I mean, you know, so, you know what, Let's

297
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:56.440
leave the listeners with something from the
eighties off of the album When Lightning Strikes.

298
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:00.720
You were listening to back to the
eighties with just Donald and Chang,

299
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.559
and we are talking rock and roll
pop or not see you in a bit.

312
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:15.640
the eighties Radio to Scotto with Jad
on another fun Field discussion of beautiful eighties

313
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:21.119
music, and we are throwing stones
and showing the big boners right here about

314
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:27.480
some of the more great rock and
roll bands that went a little bit pop,

315
00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:32.599
whether it be a song or a
look to Scanne. What can I

316
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:37.640
tell you about that band? I
mean, that's a great band. Even

317
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:39.880
the eighties stuff was cool. You
know. Let me ask you a question,

318
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:44.319
Chang. Then let me ask you
because I noticed that you always talk

319
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:51.559
down when the band turns popish?
Can you explain to everybody listening? What

320
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:54.880
is popish in your point of view? Started dancing like Actel Rolls. Yeah,

321
00:32:55.240 --> 00:33:00.880
yeah, you did what you consider
to be hoppish. And why is

322
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:08.599
it that you youop the Chang don't
like it when a band goes popular mainstream?

323
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:15.599
Now Here is my definition of popular
mainstream. I understand the popular mainstream

324
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:21.759
is that of the exact title popular
mainstream? What people like? What is

325
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:25.880
catchy? What I don't like about
certain rock bands where they go and they

326
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:32.440
change their music to fit what is
pop culture? Just to fit in?

327
00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:37.319
And I understand that everyone needs to
make a buck, and I understand that

328
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:44.119
sometimes record contracts hold you to a
certain degree of what they want. And

329
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:47.759
that is the essence of what is
sad in the radio business. Today as

330
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:52.920
we see a transition from what we
grew up with set aside. What I

331
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:59.599
don't like about a certain bandgoing pop
is this. I have no problem with

332
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:09.119
their music or their uh yeah,
their music being applauded or noticed or risen

333
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:15.119
above. But I do not like
when a band changes how they look,

334
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:22.800
the type of a material they put
out just for the almighty dollars or somebody

335
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:31.199
else's almighty dollar. I don't like
the the flashy video who looks good on

336
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:36.920
camera type of pop music. I
don't like when a band such as Errol

337
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:43.280
Smith, such as when they've categorized
in excess Genesis Rush. I can't even

338
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:52.079
digest when they categorize a band such
as a Journey to a certain degree as

339
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:55.079
pop. Their music got played more
pop, and yes, they are the

340
00:34:55.400 --> 00:35:00.400
iconic resemblance of what I don't like
a pop about. They were a great

341
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:06.400
band prior to Stephen Perry, even
more excellent vocal wise, musical wise.

342
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:12.679
They were better without Stephen Perry.
No, I didn't say that. I

343
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:17.639
said they were even better from the
first form with Greg Rawley and Neil Sean

344
00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:23.639
who created Journey from Santana. When
they added Steve Perry, they went a

345
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:28.960
notch high. They higher, They
were a better band. He brought out

346
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:34.440
vocally everything musically they did with instruments. He could match it vocally, his

347
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:38.320
vocals, his emotions could take the
band higher or lower, almost like an

348
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:44.199
orchestra. But yet a lot of
the content kind of went on team love,

349
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:47.559
love, a lot of soft emotions. So of course they categorized into

350
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:53.199
pop music. Why because people wanted
to hear that in elevators at work on,

351
00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:00.320
So when how are you gonna say
that Journey brings music to elevators?

352
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:04.960
Come on, they weren't an elevator
music band, and you know what,

353
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:09.079
you needed to be in more elevators
than you probably I was in plenty of

354
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:15.280
elevators, bells, and you were
looking at people's backgrounds in the law enforcement.

355
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.320
You don't listen to Journey when you're
in the law enforcement. I was

356
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:23.559
listening Journey. You listen to Chicago. I was listening to Chicago as well.

357
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:29.559
You listen to Whitney Houston hits,
Yes please yes. If we're talking

358
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:36.559
about rosh Ladies and Gentlemen, I
wonder two of the biggest rock bands that

359
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:43.000
changed from being a good rock band
to a pop rock band. So let

360
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.480
me get this straight. Let me
get this okay, and play love songs.

361
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:49.639
Okay, let me get this straight. God. First of all,

362
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:52.679
Journey did not change the way they
dressed. Secondly, are you trying to

363
00:36:52.880 --> 00:37:01.199
say that just because a band goes
main stream and popular, that's it.

364
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:06.000
They're over. They changed automatically.
No I, why don't no, no,

365
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:08.480
no, no no no. I
the one who has changed twists you.

366
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:15.840
You are my words. You're bringing
the hate. That's all I can

367
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:22.800
tell you. You are receiving my
words of wisdom is hate because you are

368
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:25.880
twisting my words as if I was
twisting at that joint. As I sit

369
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:30.880
in the radio dojo and tell you, please, please please understand the rage,

370
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:40.159
not the hate. All right,
that these certain bands change there musical

371
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:47.559
fame and their musical rise to fit
what is a popular, popular audience for

372
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:52.880
a little bit more money rather than
stage. They had to they had to

373
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:55.360
make money. They had to make
more money. Objection, your honor,

374
00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:02.719
This individual is not letting me speak
my case. You can continue Toscano a

375
00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:08.719
rule now, all right, God, Jesus, order in the court.

376
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:15.079
Sammy Davis, sit down, stop
playing marbles with your eye now Toscano.

377
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:20.559
Please let me get back to my
point. You're making me drink more alcohol

378
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:28.599
and forgetting ahead. You're like the
You're like the National Inquirer. You remind

379
00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:31.800
me of the National Inquirer. You
you, you say all these things,

380
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:38.320
and you you, you take up
all these columns to write your little essay,

381
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:45.719
but in reality it's all a bunch
of crap. You are no more

382
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:51.519
fun to play with as a barrel
of monkeys with one arm. Anyway,

383
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:55.440
my point before I was slayed before
the court and all our beautiful listening,

384
00:38:55.880 --> 00:39:01.039
my point is that when a band
us have the tendency to go pop,

385
00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:07.079
depending on the nucleus of the band
and the heart of the band is up

386
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:12.000
to them whether they were go back
to the golden grime and the raw emotion

387
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:15.639
and musical vibe that they once had
when they started on their venture to be

388
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:22.519
a rock band. Popularity is everybody's
dream, money is everybody's goal in the

389
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:28.239
business. But when you sell your
soul for rock and roll, there is

390
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:32.840
no way that you are going to
obtain the gracious goal of being a great,

391
00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:40.480
inessent rock band. A great rock
band does not go pop. Deep

392
00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:45.079
Purple Black Stabbit, Judas Priest,
Iron Maiden, Right, Okay, no

393
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:51.360
they didn't. No, those bands
are living way above the me. They

394
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:53.039
stay poor. Is that what you're
trying to say? You can they stay

395
00:39:53.119 --> 00:40:05.360
poor and popularly criminal? Oh no, Peter, there's a lot of great

396
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:08.079
rock bands that did not need to
go pop. Here's a rock band I'm

397
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:13.639
gonna throw at you that I kind
of got angry because they are categorized as

398
00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:19.039
pop. Queen, the greatest freaking
rock band I believe of their era,

399
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:24.039
the greatest vocalist of all time,
the smartest band all time. Queen.

400
00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:29.119
Yes, some of their songs did
go Me Too and we Go Here we

401
00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:36.239
Go. Because of MTV, MTV
creative pop music, music change in rock

402
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:39.079
and roll, people wanted to look
good, sound good, make videos,

403
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:45.679
bringing money, where flashy clothes,
nice hair, and forgot about the times

404
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:51.159
they wrote these songs loaded on their
ass, heartbroken, no freaking money,

405
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:54.920
and doing it just to fill a
pub or a bar and make people rock

406
00:40:55.039 --> 00:41:00.599
their freaking socks off. When you
go pop, there is no stop to

407
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:07.320
forgetting where you came from. Boom
Yeah, back to the eighties radio.

408
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:13.559
We're gonna be right back with more
banter, more love, but specifically more

409
00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:15.760
hate from the Chain. Nobody has
the movie I want. Hey, if

410
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:20.199
it's on video, Blockbuster probably hasn't. I mean we have over ten thousand

411
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:22.599
videos. Wow, I'll watch you
spass have them back tomorrow, I promise.

412
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:27.239
Relax and Blockbuster you can keep your
videos for three evenings. So take

413
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.320
home plenty hey, and use our
twenty four hour quick drop. Do you

414
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:35.360
have any show rings videos? Sure, Blockbusters America's Family Video store. You

415
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.679
know we have more kids videos than
any place else any more movies, more

416
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:45.519
nights, more fun video. What
a difference you can dispense with the pleasant

417
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:54.320
trees you're listening to scuttle and Chain. You don't know the power. Back

418
00:41:54.440 --> 00:42:00.239
to the eighties. Back to the
eighties radio, a lot of us did

419
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:04.519
not listen to side two of different
albums. Do you remember there was a

420
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:07.280
lot of people that didn't that would
just listen to the hit song that was

421
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:12.320
on the radio of that album.
But in this case, for example,

422
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:19.760
with Queen on this album the Game, side two included songs like Rocket by

423
00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:24.519
Roger Taylor as a writer, Don't
Try Suicide that was Freddie Mercury writing it,

424
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:31.079
Sailor Waite, Sweet Sister Coming Soon, and Save Me by May.

425
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:37.480
So we're talking. This had great
songs, Side A and side B,

426
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:44.920
and unfortunately a lot of people,
and especially today, chang the majority of

427
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:50.760
people. And I'm going to say
from our era, the millennials and Generation

428
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:57.599
Z do not listen to complete albums. What they do is they choose different

429
00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:04.519
songs and create playlists, but in
fact do not listen to the entire albums.

430
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:12.320
And that's cheating not the artist alone, but it's also cheating themselves from

431
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:19.599
receiving the greatness the other lyrics,
the other musical masterpieces that these artists had

432
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:22.119
in mind. Would you agree,
I totally agree with you. I'm glad

433
00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:25.480
that you brought that point up.
I look at it is the dare to

434
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:32.440
be different. You know, not
everybody gets in touch with music as deep

435
00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:37.280
as others. You know, we've
talked on many occasions. I was brought

436
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:39.159
up with music, you know,
in the seventies. I was born in

437
00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:44.880
nineteen sixty five. You know,
I grew up with everything from Elvis Presley,

438
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:50.639
Frank Sinatra, to the Temptations,
to Otis Reading, to the Commodores,

439
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:58.440
Linda Ronstad, Vicente Fernandez, Jose
Feliciano, all the way into three

440
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:02.519
Dog Night, led Zeppelin, Jimmy
Hendrix, you know the Beatles. I

441
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:07.840
was a Beatle baby. But the
one thing that I will always hold true

442
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:13.800
too is it never even changed in
the eighties. When you purchase an album

443
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:19.360
and a cassette, hell a CD, listen to the whole thing all the

444
00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:23.440
way through. Just don't listen to
the songs that put you familiar with the

445
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:29.079
band. Open up your mind.
Listen to the songs because their emotions,

446
00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:34.039
their feelings, and ninety nine percent
of the time when you listen to the

447
00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:37.760
whole album, there is something that's
going to step out of that song.

448
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.079
Do you not agree? Bro?
It's going to touch you emotionally, it's

449
00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:45.840
going to touch you spiritually and and
and it enlightens you, It informs you,

450
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:53.639
It betters you, kind of gives
you, you know, a relevation.

451
00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:58.280
Whoa somebody else feels like that.
So you have to do that.

452
00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:07.039
And that's how we only create a
bigger music entertainment kind of world where we

453
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:12.119
can open up radio again. You
know, it's more than a download.

454
00:45:12.199 --> 00:45:15.280
Don't download a song, download the
whole album. Get in touch with the

455
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:20.760
album, because you're robbing yourself,
as you said, spiritually, you're robbing

456
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:25.960
yourself of getting great music. You're
robbing that artist of being smothered rather than

457
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:30.119
expanding. So it's only a beautiful
thing if you crack the whole thing on.

458
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:36.400
It's like, you know, it's
it's almost like opening a book.

459
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:42.039
You're not just going to read one
page or one chapter to get the justification

460
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:45.719
of the story. You gotta read
the whole freaking thing. You got to

461
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:50.320
feel the whole thing. You gotta
visualize the whole thing to understand why you're

462
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:54.800
a freaking reader and why you touch
your intelligence and your emotional state. Same

463
00:45:54.880 --> 00:46:00.239
with music exactly, and you want
to get the feel of what the writer

464
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:07.519
of the songs intended, what the
poet, and what the performer conveyed when

465
00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:14.239
he was reading those lyrics and sang
them. I mean, this is music,

466
00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:19.119
ladies and gentlemen, fans of back
to the eighties. When we talk

467
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:23.360
about music from the eighties, we're
talking about music that was written, it

468
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:31.719
was directed, it was mastered for
the purpose of being contagious to a generation

469
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:37.719
of people that needed to smile,
to identify with the artist, to a

470
00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:45.000
generation that needed change, and change
in this case came from the revolution of

471
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:47.519
music. You were listening to Back
to the eighties with Tuscano and Chang and

472
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:52.559
seeing that we are talking about pop
rock and a band that we both totally

473
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:54.280
enjoy and all of you love,
We're going to take you out with one

474
00:46:54.400 --> 00:47:00.480
more song from the legendary greatest rock
and roll band Queen. This is off

475
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:07.280
the album The Works, and this
is Radio Gaga. You are getting banged

476
00:47:07.320 --> 00:48:00.519

Radio Google Radio Gaga alway here is
Radio Gaga Radio, Googu Radio Gaga.

487
00:50:52.800 --> 00:52:35.840
Already here is Radiogga Radio, bah
Bat Radio got back here, I'm back

488
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:40.239
to the eighties radio. We are
back talking about rock pop and the rest

489
00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:45.079
of eighties music and why it was
so popular and why it was so damn

490
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:52.880
good. I want to talk about
a band that is maybe not considered to

491
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:59.559
be let's say, eighties rock pop. However, it is a band that

492
00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:06.159
you personally may or may not like, I'm not sure. In nineteen eighty

493
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:10.079
three, they released a song that
went number one, and I'm talking about

494
00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:16.320
none other than the band The Police, and the song is Every Breath You

495
00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:22.079
Take. Now, this was a
band Chang that came in with a variation

496
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:30.800
of musical infusion and that was jazz
pop rock. And the way that Sting,

497
00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:36.320
along with the rest of the members
of the band brought to us Every

498
00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:40.679
Breath You Take it became one of
the biggest hits in history of music even

499
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:45.159
until today. This is a song
that has not only been in movies,

500
00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:52.719
but it also has been covered by
the most famous bands and artists. Very

501
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:53.800
true. Now, first of all, yeah, bro, I had nothing

502
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:57.960
of a mad respect for the Police. I mean they were a kick ass

503
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:01.639
trio. There's so many kick ass
trios in music that we can go into,

504
00:54:01.840 --> 00:54:05.880
especially from the eighties. We could
probably do a whole show on kick

505
00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:08.920
ass rock and roll musical trios of
all time into freaking eighties. I mean,

506
00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:15.960
but the Police. The Police to
me was kind of a mod I

507
00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:21.280
want to say, maybe beginning of
ska very much. I agree with you.

508
00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:28.920
Jazz influenced, heavy, heavy intelligence
of their musical instrument, how to

509
00:54:29.000 --> 00:54:32.079
carry tempo's timing, and I'm talking
about I mean, Jesus, you can't

510
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:38.960
get any better than Stuart Copeland,
one of the greatest jazz drummers, smartest

511
00:54:39.039 --> 00:54:45.320
drummers I think, in his realm, in his era and his style of

512
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:53.000
music. I would put Copeland in
the school of Keith Moon, Buddy Buddy,

513
00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:59.079
Buddy Rich. I would put him
in there with of course, the

514
00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:06.400
legendary Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones. Anywhere that you have a jazz influence,

515
00:55:06.840 --> 00:55:10.639
Copeland was all over it. You
have Steing, one of the greatest

516
00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:19.920
lyricists, vocalist, kind of tempo
setting, even sexy style of lead men

517
00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:25.400
who could play the bass like a
guitar and still harmonize and harmonize and such

518
00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:29.159
a different voice. Yeah, but
you know what, you couldn't do without

519
00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:36.159
Andy Summers. A lot of the
guitarists, a lot of individuals get lost

520
00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:39.480
behind other individuals. But Andy Summers, I mean, dude, that dude.

521
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:45.360
Guys destroys the guitar. His licks
are insane, but they get lost

522
00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:51.159
behind Sting's beauty, his lyrics,
you know, but they do carry the

523
00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:57.039
song very similar I think to like
I'll say, maybe like a Pink Floyd.

524
00:55:57.559 --> 00:56:00.400
Pink Floyd is such a different trip. A lot of time, the

525
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:05.199
guitar gets lost in the wizardry and
the mind fucking you're getting. I think

526
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:10.519
the police also slip into that with
Andy Summers. People forget about Andy Summers.

527
00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:15.119
There would be no police without Andy
freaking Summers. Bro and r.

528
00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:21.079
They came up from London in seventy
seven, but they didn't catch flight until

529
00:56:21.159 --> 00:56:23.920
the eighties. All that hard work, all that time together in the studio,

530
00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:29.480
in a freaking garage, working together, hanging together, you know what

531
00:56:29.519 --> 00:56:34.519
I mean, playing instruments and just
like putting your heads together, that becomes

532
00:56:34.639 --> 00:56:37.719
one force. The police were a
great force. If the police were to

533
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:44.000
ever get together again, now it
would be a force that the musical industry

534
00:56:44.199 --> 00:56:46.880
would get mind fucked. They wouldn't. Let me give you a few facts

535
00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:52.119
from the Police. They've sold over
seventy five million records, making them,

536
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:55.559
of course, one of the best
selling bands of all time. They have

537
00:56:55.760 --> 00:57:01.440
won music awards all over the place, including six Grammy Awards, two British

538
00:57:01.559 --> 00:57:07.760
Awards, and the MTV Music Award
as well. The Police were the highest

539
00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:19.360
earning musicians in two thousand and eight. The Synchronicity album was alone an album

540
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:24.960
of brilliance. I mean, how
could you Every temple in that album was

541
00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:30.480
heavy. Everything was so precise,
so jazz oriented, you know, murdered

542
00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:36.679
by numbers. Don't stand so close
to me again. The essence of a

543
00:57:36.760 --> 00:57:39.039
great band, the essence of a
lot of eighties music, is it was

544
00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:43.800
from the heart, the lyrics,
the music, everything was from the heart

545
00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:49.119
personal experience. So you know what
we've done enough talking. Let's take our

546
00:57:49.159 --> 00:57:53.920
beautiful listeners all the way back to
the eighties for a glimpse of the legendary

547
00:57:54.199 --> 00:58:00.159
three piece phenomenal band from London.
That's right. In nineteen seventy seven,

548
00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:07.559
the Police off of seeing Chronicity.
It's murders by number. You are listening

549
00:58:07.599 --> 00:58:12.519
to Tuscono jank right here in back
to the eighties radio. Don't you go

550
00:58:12.719 --> 00:58:17.760
nowhere? We got more music,
more Mayhan and more head to head competition.

551
00:58:25.119 --> 00:58:31.920
Wolst that you've decided on the killing. First, you make a stone

552
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:38.159
of your heart. And if you
find that your hands are still willie,

553
00:58:39.920 --> 00:58:51.239
do you consider the murder into art. They're real blood shit. Just do

554
00:58:51.400 --> 00:59:07.519
it with a little if you can

570
01:02:58.119 --> 01:03:01.719
the first rendition of a game we
are going to play called glam Bam

571
01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:08.199
or neither Sam. I'm going to
give to Skanno five bands, no description,

572
01:03:08.760 --> 01:03:14.679
no songs, and give his opinion
in either of the three. He

573
01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:21.199
is allowed to to find what it
explained his decision. But it cannot go

574
01:03:21.400 --> 01:03:25.239
any longer than I wanted to.
Are you ready, ladies and gentlemen,

575
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:30.880
to partake in the game to Skano? Are you ready to take the game

576
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:35.880
on? Okay? Now you know
the rules? Right? Do I need

577
01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:37.280
to go over the rules? You
do not? I know the rules?

578
01:03:37.320 --> 01:03:43.239
Okay? Because yes, you're you're
a very bad lawyer. Oh my gosh,

579
01:03:43.519 --> 01:03:45.639
all right, go ahead, I'm
just saying are you ready? Yeah.

580
01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:47.679
Now, the first band out of
my five I'm going to give to

581
01:03:47.760 --> 01:03:54.760
you is the band bon Jovi.
Yeah. Nineteen eighty three, this band

582
01:03:55.760 --> 01:04:02.639
from Sayerville, New Jersey, John
bon Jovi, David Brian Tico, Torres,

583
01:04:03.360 --> 01:04:10.599
Phil X and bassist Hugh McDonald formed
his band and created what their virgin

584
01:04:10.719 --> 01:04:15.760
and sound of rock and roll is. Do you think they are glam Bam

585
01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:23.400
or neither sam? I'm going to
say. I'm good to say bon Jovi

586
01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:31.599
is glam Bam and the reason why
is obvious. They were a glam metal

587
01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:35.840
band. They weren't exactly a metal
band, but they weren't also a rock

588
01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:43.360
band. They were the pretty boys. They were indulged by many a young

589
01:04:43.480 --> 01:04:47.719
lady, and they were a band
that wanted two. You know. They

590
01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:53.440
went up on stage with all the
hairspray in the world and a little bit

591
01:04:53.480 --> 01:04:58.800
of eyeliner, not too overboards like
the poison in such bands, but they

592
01:04:58.880 --> 01:05:03.440
were They were of the glam band, so definitely. But I gotta tell

593
01:05:03.480 --> 01:05:09.679
you this, bon Jovi in the
beginning, especially with Slippery when Wet,

594
01:05:10.880 --> 01:05:16.800
h phenomenal. Okay, very very
very well, I'm going to bring another

595
01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:19.679
band I'm gonna give you my first
five, then you give me your five.

596
01:05:19.719 --> 01:05:23.320
You're ready for this, Let's do
it. Because I know there's no

597
01:05:23.559 --> 01:05:27.079
order in your court. You don't
believe in the justices. Whatever, let's

598
01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:30.599
do it. Let's go. Love
of Christ, Huey Lewis and the News,

599
01:05:31.400 --> 01:05:38.239
glam Bam or Neither Sam, Neither
Sam. I think they were a

600
01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:43.400
rock band. They weren't heavy,
They were more inclined to the pop arena,

601
01:05:44.039 --> 01:05:47.599
but they had songs that were not
pop. They weren't popular per se,

602
01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:55.639
but they still maintained the rock essence
and familiarity with the same. So

603
01:05:55.800 --> 01:06:00.639
I loved Huey Lewis and the News, The Cars, glam Bam or Neither

604
01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:04.760
Sam. You know where I would
take that. Yes, I'm gonna say

605
01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:12.400
the Cars was neither Sam. I
agree once again once again as Huey Lewis

606
01:06:12.480 --> 01:06:18.599
and The News. These were performers
that were strictly rock. They accidentally turned

607
01:06:18.639 --> 01:06:24.000
to pop because of MTV. But
I gotta tell you, the Cars were

608
01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:30.320
a band that maintained their integrity in
rock. They didn't go overboard, but

609
01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:36.599
they also didn't go full mainstream.
Even when they were mainstream, they still

610
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:45.960
maintained their originality. Yes. Perfect. Now also with the movie remember you

611
01:06:45.079 --> 01:06:51.559
know Richmond High. You remember absolutely
in stereo with Phoebe Kates in the pool,

612
01:06:51.840 --> 01:06:57.880
So you can forget Judge Reinhall jacker
him jacket, his meatstick off in

613
01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:00.880
the toilet. Who could not forget
that? I mean that song was epic

614
01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:06.800
moving in stereo correct fat times at
Ridge one High. That movie is my

615
01:07:08.039 --> 01:07:11.480
high school. I was a senior
the same year that movie came out.

616
01:07:11.519 --> 01:07:15.760
A bit I agree with you.
The Cars You Know is one of my

617
01:07:15.960 --> 01:07:19.599
favorite bands. I think they're multi
talented, two great lead singers. Sometimes

618
01:07:19.679 --> 01:07:24.480
you couldn't tell which from the other. But oh my god, they were

619
01:07:24.519 --> 01:07:28.960
a badass band. I remember the
first time I got the eight track Candio

620
01:07:29.519 --> 01:07:31.679
Dude, I was floored. Are
you ready for another band? I am

621
01:07:31.760 --> 01:07:39.599
ready hit you straight between the eyes
heart glam bam or neither? Sam,

622
01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:45.880
Well, this is a more difficult
one because even though I tend to lean

623
01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:51.440
towards don't let your penis, don't
let your penis, I tend to lean

624
01:07:51.599 --> 01:07:58.639
towards the the latter one, right, nothing, Sam, However, there

625
01:07:58.920 --> 01:08:04.039
is a bit of the glam in
them, and the reason I say That

626
01:08:04.440 --> 01:08:11.039
is not only because of what their
popularity sparked in the eighties through MTV,

627
01:08:11.920 --> 01:08:17.680
but because of MTV, they also
had to adjust to what the public wanted,

628
01:08:17.840 --> 01:08:21.960
and that was more glammy. Now, I'll say this really quick before

629
01:08:24.720 --> 01:08:27.800
I bring up my other band to
you, but I agree with everything you

630
01:08:27.920 --> 01:08:31.720
said about this band and even more
hard to me as a female led Zeppelin.

631
01:08:32.680 --> 01:08:45.159
Both of them are so provocatives,
so I mean standout ish. Both

632
01:08:45.279 --> 01:08:49.039
sisters and and Nancy. The vocals
and the guitar, they match each other

633
01:08:49.199 --> 01:08:56.119
perfectly. They climb to the same
heights and to the same loads because their

634
01:08:56.159 --> 01:09:00.399
sisters are on the same waveley same
emotion. Oh but good god, you

635
01:09:00.479 --> 01:09:04.079
know, and the good the other
eye Candy, which took them to the

636
01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:10.600
pop region. They're both very beautiful
for looking women. They represent rock and

637
01:09:10.800 --> 01:09:17.359
roll to the sexy essence. These
two chicks looked like sexy goddesses. They're

638
01:09:17.399 --> 01:09:23.520
the essence of rock and roll female
version. But yet they got thrown into

639
01:09:23.600 --> 01:09:29.359
the pop era because I believe of
the Almighty video. The pop rock remember

640
01:09:29.479 --> 01:09:35.199
Hart got started getting played on soft
music stations on FM. You know,

641
01:09:36.840 --> 01:09:42.840
it was played in elevators, office
music one of their most famous songs was

642
01:09:42.920 --> 01:09:46.439
what About Love? Not only that, I'm talking about these dreams. That's

643
01:09:46.479 --> 01:09:51.840
when they started wearing a shiny blazers, their hair got really high. The

644
01:09:53.039 --> 01:09:58.199
big shoulder pads, Yeah, the
big shoulder pads. So that's where I

645
01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:01.920
gotta tell you I stand strong.
I'm sorry video did kill a certain amount

646
01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:06.800
of the heart and motion of the
radio rock and roll music. I'll say

647
01:10:06.840 --> 01:10:11.600
it so I agree with you on
hard Foot. I'm gonna have to hate

648
01:10:11.960 --> 01:10:15.920
a bit because that's what I think. Here is the ever so poppy heart

649
01:10:15.439 --> 01:10:23.319
with what About Love? On the
one and only back to the eighties radio.

650
01:10:44.000 --> 01:10:54.119
I've been I've been waiting for you. I'm pretuning and that's all I

651
01:10:54.359 --> 01:11:09.119
can do. I'm saying getting through
to your heart. You've been hiding,

652
01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:23.159
never let it shot, always trying
to keep it under control. Now and

653
01:11:23.319 --> 01:11:40.000
you will you wait to time because
somebody do forgot what don't? You can't

654
01:11:45.560 --> 01:12:09.920
I wants you might need someday.
I can't change what you're feeling inside,

655
01:12:10.600 --> 01:12:18.439
and I can't tell you what You
don't want to buy? Something's missing?

656
01:12:19.119 --> 01:12:29.760
You got back your life. You
know somebody didn't want what am I lie?

657
01:12:30.560 --> 01:13:13.720
Don't you mind someone to don't my
life? I war shout, what

658
01:13:15.560 --> 01:13:54.159
don't you call me? Got a
son? Back to the eighties, Radio

659
01:13:54.239 --> 01:14:00.800
Ciscono Chang and Death was the ever
so talented, ever so in eellectual great

660
01:14:00.279 --> 01:14:05.720
rock and roll band Hart and in
Nancy Wilson. Oh, those two chicks

661
01:14:05.760 --> 01:14:13.760
were like Robert Plant and Jimmy Page
of their era. Now Tuscano, I've

662
01:14:13.880 --> 01:14:17.760
got Are you ready? One more
band for you? One more Okay?

663
01:14:17.960 --> 01:14:20.399
Then you have to give me yours. I'm going to give you a band

664
01:14:20.479 --> 01:14:25.800
that is probably one of your most
favorite bands, and I want you to

665
01:14:26.039 --> 01:14:33.600
give me your honest opinion if this
band was glam Bam or Neither Sam and

666
01:14:33.960 --> 01:14:41.880
why? But this band is the
Cure erected out of nineteen seventy six,

667
01:14:43.399 --> 01:14:54.560
launched into the nineteen eighties and captivated
many audiences with the sort of I would

668
01:14:54.640 --> 01:15:00.640
think, woe is me? Darker
side of emotional existence? Where would you

669
01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:06.239
put them? Glam Bam or neither
Sam? You know, with the Cure,

670
01:15:06.520 --> 01:15:11.960
I would more than anything, I
would say neither Sam. They would

671
01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:15.680
fit, in my opinion, more
in the gothic rock, post punk,

672
01:15:16.479 --> 01:15:21.159
an alternative rock, and new wave. Even in nineteen eighty, the band

673
01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:30.720
adopted a new, increasingly dark and
tormented style, which, together with Robert

674
01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:35.800
Smith's stage look, had a strong
influence on the emerging genre of gothic rock,

675
01:15:36.359 --> 01:15:43.920
as well as the subculture that eventually
formed around that particular genre. The

676
01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:48.199
Cure, I would say, is
nothing close to glam or BAM. I

677
01:15:48.399 --> 01:15:54.319
would say The Cure is one of
those bands that is still remaining today as

678
01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:59.119
gothic rock, and I think that's
a great, great genre for them,

679
01:16:00.039 --> 01:16:03.960
thick rock. Would you say they
are transcending? They are definitely a band

680
01:16:04.039 --> 01:16:10.920
that transcends over the ages. With
over thirty singles, they've sold over thirty

681
01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:17.359
million albums worldwide, and they continue
to bring new stuff to the table.

682
01:16:17.720 --> 01:16:23.520
These are not bands that only get
stuck on singing and playing old things.

683
01:16:24.159 --> 01:16:29.359
These are bands that are continuously evolving. And but you know what, The

684
01:16:29.479 --> 01:16:35.239
Cure still maintains that same sound.
They've never varied. So a lot of

685
01:16:35.319 --> 01:16:41.319
respect to Robert Smith and the band
of the Cure, you know what.

686
01:16:41.560 --> 01:16:46.560
I admire your love and believe me, I totally respect your definition. Oh

687
01:16:47.439 --> 01:16:55.119
brother. Anytime on my taint hurts, I think of tricycles and the target

688
01:16:56.399 --> 01:17:00.079
when I see him on stage,
because I think he's going to set me

689
01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:02.199
up in a device and pull my
body, you know what, you know

690
01:17:02.279 --> 01:17:06.079
what, and ride out on a
tricycle and kill me. You know what.

691
01:17:06.199 --> 01:17:13.279
All this hate deserves. The following
deserves. The following from their album

692
01:17:13.479 --> 01:17:18.840
in nineteen eighty nine, their album
Disintegration. This song saw the considerable success

693
01:17:18.960 --> 01:17:24.600
in the US when it reached the
number two position in October of eighty nine

694
01:17:24.880 --> 01:17:29.439
and became the band's only top ten
entry in the Billboard Top one hundred.

695
01:17:29.920 --> 01:17:36.600
This is love song by the Cure
on Back to the eighties Radio. Right.

696
01:18:08.079 --> 01:18:28.880
Never blow You made me feel like
I am Harkin, Never blow Maybe

697
01:18:29.319 --> 01:19:10.000
feel like I am horrig makee feel
like I am young. Never make me

698
01:19:10.399 --> 01:19:26.920
be like I am. I will
always stop, however, say, I

699
01:19:27.119 --> 01:19:39.039
will always stop. Whatever was I
say, I will always I always love.

700
01:20:14.359 --> 01:20:30.279
He might move, be like I
am freaking, He might like I

701
01:20:30.399 --> 01:20:49.079
am. I will always stop.
I will always stop. Ell worlds.

702
01:20:51.520 --> 01:21:00.119
I will always stop you. I
always you just heard love song Here and

703
01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:05.479
back to the eighties radio. We
are talking about pop rock and the different

704
01:21:05.920 --> 01:21:11.279
bands in music that we consider or
not consider to be in the pop rock

705
01:21:11.640 --> 01:21:16.760
genre. And before the break,
we did take a look at the Cure,

706
01:21:17.359 --> 01:21:23.359
brought to us by the ever wondrous
Chang. This is a band that

707
01:21:24.039 --> 01:21:29.520
has music that is still heard today
in movies and is heard everywhere. This

708
01:21:29.600 --> 01:21:35.439
is a band that continuously reinvents itself
with yet keeping their same sound. Just

709
01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:40.399
to let you guys know, the
Cure was the very first band I ever

710
01:21:40.520 --> 01:21:46.680
saw in any concert before. No. I wasn't ripped off at all because

711
01:21:47.319 --> 01:21:55.119
my best friend and myself got led
into the Los Angeles Forum by his girlfriend

712
01:21:55.800 --> 01:22:00.319
let us in through the back door, and we went in, went to

713
01:22:00.439 --> 01:22:04.439
are concert and got back door.
Well, we went in through the back

714
01:22:04.520 --> 01:22:09.720
door, yes, a side door
here at the Forum, at the Forum

715
01:22:09.800 --> 01:22:16.720
at the Angle at Integle with and
H and we got free entrances, chose

716
01:22:16.800 --> 01:22:23.079
our seats. We were very close
to the front row, and we saw

717
01:22:23.520 --> 01:22:28.840
the kiss Me, kiss Me,
kiss Me Tour by Robert Smith and the

718
01:22:28.920 --> 01:22:31.359
Cure. I'm so glad I missed
it, but I'm glad you had a

719
01:22:31.399 --> 01:22:36.560
great time. Missed a great concert. Actually, Okay, okay, what

720
01:22:36.720 --> 01:22:42.119
year was that? Nineteen eighty seven? Oh, you see, at that

721
01:22:42.199 --> 01:22:46.239
time I was doing I was like
raising a kid next Now, I'm I'm

722
01:22:46.319 --> 01:22:53.720
ready for your five bands that you
are going to so at me for our

723
01:22:53.800 --> 01:23:00.640
first edition of our gland band Neither
Sam adition here at Back to the Age

724
01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:03.399
Radio. I think we should continue
this game. You know what, I

725
01:23:03.520 --> 01:23:09.439
really like to telly up the victories
because I think in my own mind right

726
01:23:09.520 --> 01:23:15.479
now, I we're okay. You
keep saying that to yourself, all right.

727
01:23:15.560 --> 01:23:19.920
From nineteen I'm one ahead of you. We'll just go with your wing

728
01:23:20.039 --> 01:23:28.359
choice. Right. From nineteen eighty
four, this following band produced a song

729
01:23:28.600 --> 01:23:34.479
that is called I Want to Know
What Love Is. The band is Foreigner.

730
01:23:35.239 --> 01:23:40.479
So my question to you, my
friend, is Glam Bam or Neither

731
01:23:40.640 --> 01:23:45.000
Sam. Let's talk to us about
Foreigner. I will say Bam because I

732
01:23:45.159 --> 01:23:48.279
grew up. Of course, I'm
a bit older than you with all right,

733
01:23:48.439 --> 01:23:56.760
why Bam? They're earlier hits Dirty
White Boy. You know, man,

734
01:23:56.920 --> 01:24:00.119
they were bad. Graham was the
master. They were hardcore rock and

735
01:24:00.239 --> 01:24:06.640
roll, something like a Joe Cocker
ass kicking band at first when they first

736
01:24:06.880 --> 01:24:13.920
busted in in the seventies. Then
they went a bit soft, you know,

737
01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:16.199
and I'm talking about the eighties.
You know that they were maybe going

738
01:24:16.359 --> 01:24:21.159
through some emotional personal changes. I
don't know. Maybe Peter Sata, the

739
01:24:21.279 --> 01:24:26.680
leader of Chicago at that time,
told them they got to sing love songs

740
01:24:26.800 --> 01:24:30.840
to make it. I don't know, but something happened and that band went

741
01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:39.000
from a hard rock and band to
a band that you listen to. I'll

742
01:24:39.039 --> 01:24:43.399
say it on the elevator. Oh, when you're going to see the proctologists,

743
01:24:43.439 --> 01:24:47.479
a guy and a cologist, when
you're going the dentist way this second?

744
01:24:47.520 --> 01:24:51.239
So are you trying to say that
no rock band should make any way?

745
01:24:51.319 --> 01:24:59.000
Ante Ballot, Let's look at the
definition of rock. Rock has many

746
01:24:59.119 --> 01:25:08.119
different definition numbers in the actual word
rock correct, but the true essences is

747
01:25:08.239 --> 01:25:14.800
rock hard, different, ass kicking, stand up against the establishment, move

748
01:25:14.920 --> 01:25:20.560
your body, move some of the
people's mindset, make bodies move. See.

749
01:25:20.680 --> 01:25:27.039
This is exactly why I have told
everybody that you are a hater.

750
01:25:27.279 --> 01:25:31.159
Brothers and sisters out there, please
hit us at all our social media,

751
01:25:31.479 --> 01:25:36.800
hit us everywhere, and let us
know if I myself am a little bit

752
01:25:36.920 --> 01:25:44.600
more correct on my outlook on the
definition and essence of rock. As to

753
01:25:45.840 --> 01:25:55.600
contemporary solve love rock. You are
listening to Beck the eighties Radio Tuscano and

754
01:25:55.760 --> 01:26:00.520
Chay and we love you with a
little bit of for there. I want

755
01:26:00.560 --> 01:26:16.479
to know I love it. I've
gotta take a little time, a little

756
01:26:16.600 --> 01:26:30.479
time to fill things over, better
read between the lines in case I needed

757
01:26:30.600 --> 01:26:54.880
when a molder, This mountain I
must climb feels like a wall upon my

758
01:26:55.079 --> 01:27:04.720
shoulder, through the clouds as lotion, and keep flue waves like cruise cool

759
01:27:04.840 --> 01:27:16.920
blue in mind. There's been heartaching
pain. I don't know if I can

760
01:27:17.119 --> 01:27:28.720
think sit again. I can't now
come travel so far change as love.

761
01:27:32.880 --> 01:27:42.239
I want to know what I love
me. I want you show me.

762
01:27:45.800 --> 01:28:06.359
I want to deal with loving.
I don't can't show. I want to

763
01:28:06.479 --> 01:28:20.760
take a little time, a little
time look around. I've gotten no it

764
01:28:20.920 --> 01:28:31.520
looks like love is fiphone me in
my life. There's been honey campaign.

765
01:28:33.079 --> 01:28:41.600
I don't know if I can face
it again. I can't stop now.

766
01:28:42.359 --> 01:29:00.399
I've traveled so far change. I
want to know what I want show.

767
01:29:03.439 --> 01:29:15.720
I want to feel with love.
I know you get shoe. I want

768
01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:47.920
to know where I wonder shoe?
How would be? I can't show's stop.

769
01:29:51.159 --> 01:30:45.560
I'm feeling so much. I just
kind of back to the eighties radio

770
01:30:45.760 --> 01:30:51.640
and I want to know what love
it is by Foreigner reminds me of the

771
01:30:51.760 --> 01:30:59.199
days when Mike Saklaridis and Ted Zickenbush
from Coast one to three point five FM

772
01:30:59.319 --> 01:31:02.720
here in Law, Los Angeles used
to bring us hits like that, Chang

773
01:31:03.840 --> 01:31:09.319
ballads like this, how about Mark
and Kim, Mark and Kim as well,

774
01:31:09.439 --> 01:31:13.600
but anybody who played great ballads like
this one. I mean, you

775
01:31:13.880 --> 01:31:21.319
cannot deny that Foreigner was a rock
band. To behold, I never said

776
01:31:21.399 --> 01:31:27.800
they were not. Yeah, you
dead. Let me reiterate my previous definition

777
01:31:27.880 --> 01:31:31.920
of what I my speculation of rock
really is. I never said they were

778
01:31:32.000 --> 01:31:36.159
not a true rock and roll bad
I said they were the essence of a

779
01:31:36.319 --> 01:31:42.359
true grity rock and roll, raw
emotional band out of the seventies, hardcore,

780
01:31:42.479 --> 01:31:45.079
ass kicking, raw emotion. They
sing about getting their heartbroken, they

781
01:31:45.119 --> 01:31:50.079
sing about being What about this song? The song you just played is a

782
01:31:50.239 --> 01:32:01.319
ballad. It is of emotion,
but more of a personal relationship hype serenation

783
01:32:02.119 --> 01:32:11.439
of a song as opposed to a
description of a feeling that brought you that

784
01:32:11.560 --> 01:32:15.760
emotion to sing that song in that
negatitude. No different kind of music.

785
01:32:15.960 --> 01:32:20.479
So it's not rock. Some call
it soft rock, some call it love

786
01:32:20.600 --> 01:32:27.960
rock. Some call it easy listening, song call it suck rock, some

787
01:32:28.279 --> 01:32:30.520
call it salout, some call it
pop. All right, change, So

788
01:32:30.840 --> 01:32:36.479
here we go. I've got another
band for you. And this band I

789
01:32:36.680 --> 01:32:40.920
know is not going to be one
of your favorites. You have naked pictures

790
01:32:40.960 --> 01:32:45.439
of them, No, I don't, but you would love them. And

791
01:32:45.600 --> 01:32:47.760
this is a band that, in
my opinion, where I mean a fantastic

792
01:32:47.960 --> 01:32:56.239
rock band, they turned rock pop, however, still maintained their intrikee integrity

793
01:32:56.439 --> 01:33:00.239
of being a rock band. However, at the same time, I do

794
01:33:00.399 --> 01:33:05.199
find them to be a little overrated
than what they really were. And I

795
01:33:05.800 --> 01:33:15.520
no, I'm talking about none other
than Death Leopard. Oh I felt the

796
01:33:15.640 --> 01:33:21.239
quiver in my Glam Bam or none. I will go with Glam and Bam.

797
01:33:21.640 --> 01:33:27.600
Explain now the reason I will go
with Glam and Bam. Now,

798
01:33:27.640 --> 01:33:31.239
I totally dug this band when they
first came out, I believe their first

799
01:33:31.520 --> 01:33:39.920
album was seventy nine, and then
they came out again was another smashing album.

800
01:33:40.600 --> 01:33:43.920
No, I will say their first
three albums. Me, being as

801
01:33:44.039 --> 01:33:51.520
young as I was, I thought
that Pyromania was rocking, but then it

802
01:33:51.600 --> 01:33:58.439
went pop because it was like they
looked a certain way. Everybody could kind

803
01:33:58.439 --> 01:34:00.600
of sway that way. They kind
of came up with a gimmick. You

804
01:34:00.680 --> 01:34:08.359
know, homeboy behind the drums wore
British flag shorts. You know. Joe

805
01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:14.720
Elliott, he was kind of looking
to me like I would probably say the

806
01:34:14.920 --> 01:34:21.079
scarecrow looking hair in the Wizard of
Oz. But yet he had the kind

807
01:34:21.119 --> 01:34:29.720
of English charismatic way of like a
Rod Stewart kind of Mick Jagger. But

808
01:34:29.880 --> 01:34:31.279
in the eighties it was like,
wow, you know what I mean,

809
01:34:31.359 --> 01:34:36.279
the band had changed. You saw
the transition between albums and band the way

810
01:34:36.319 --> 01:34:43.720
I told you the texture of a
band changes when an original musician leaves.

811
01:34:44.279 --> 01:34:48.239
Now what I noticed with def Leppard. I liked them their very first two

812
01:34:48.279 --> 01:34:54.359
albums. I went to their tour
in High and Dry. But in that

813
01:34:54.560 --> 01:35:00.119
transition before Pyromania, one guitar player
was already out of the band drug an

814
01:35:00.159 --> 01:35:03.960
alcohol, you know. Then another
guitar player kind of was in and out.

815
01:35:04.359 --> 01:35:09.760
Then the lead guitar player, Steve
Clark, later died from drugs and

816
01:35:09.840 --> 01:35:14.439
alcohol. So they brought in another
guitar player, which brings in another vibe,

817
01:35:14.720 --> 01:35:20.119
another feeling, another direction. So
I felt that they totally changed that's

818
01:35:20.199 --> 01:35:26.000
the way it goes. Nobody stays
the same, but their musical content kind

819
01:35:26.039 --> 01:35:31.359
of cheapened in my eyes, to
where they decided to conform to what other

820
01:35:31.520 --> 01:35:36.079
people really liked and what was going
to get them back in the public eye,

821
01:35:36.239 --> 01:35:43.159
rather than cater to the hard rock
essence of rock and roll soul and

822
01:35:43.319 --> 01:35:47.199
keep your old audience and try to
create what you're doing there and bring in

823
01:35:47.279 --> 01:35:54.119
the youth to that vibe, or
go mainstream. They chose to go mainstream,

824
01:35:54.720 --> 01:36:00.800
so to me, Boom and the
way that they changed their look MTV

825
01:36:00.159 --> 01:36:05.720
changed the way they looked. They
got shiny, they got kind of pretty,

826
01:36:05.880 --> 01:36:12.359
and you know, to a certain
degree, very a gimmicky good for

827
01:36:12.439 --> 01:36:17.960
the camera, almost like a walking
down a red carpet every night, looking

828
01:36:18.159 --> 01:36:24.079
shiny as the cameras flash. Glam
damn all the way nowadays. I give

829
01:36:24.119 --> 01:36:28.319
them props for one thing, bringing
back the original drummer. I don't know

830
01:36:28.439 --> 01:36:30.399
how they did it, but they
did it, so hats off to them.

831
01:36:31.159 --> 01:36:35.520
Musically, to me, it's structured, you know, it's balanced,

832
01:36:35.760 --> 01:36:42.239
it's only one way, so I
don't really listen to them. To me,

833
01:36:42.399 --> 01:36:45.920
they're a Vegas act now, But
props to them for sticking around.

834
01:36:45.479 --> 01:36:50.159
Props to them for sticking straight up
with your homie, your drummer. But

835
01:36:50.279 --> 01:36:55.680
other than that, musically, not
my type of band, not my cup

836
01:36:55.760 --> 01:37:00.760
of tea. You were listening to
Scan on cheng right here at Back to

837
01:37:00.880 --> 01:37:06.279
the eighties, and we are going
to play a song from the truly Jeff

838
01:37:06.359 --> 01:37:10.840
Leppard, but none of this pretty
stuff. Let's go all the way back

839
01:37:10.880 --> 01:38:00.800
to their second album with the south
title track High and Drive than I my

840
01:38:02.520 --> 01:38:43.760
time side side side down, the
skin matream bottom, my line I'm not

841
01:38:49.000 --> 01:40:43.520
I said, my line sign signs
sign. Yeah what I thought that East

842
01:40:43.560 --> 01:40:46.680
Country. You've got to make the
money for us. Then when you get

843
01:40:46.720 --> 01:40:50.000
the money, you get the fower. Then when you get the power,

844
01:40:50.760 --> 01:40:55.680
then you get the woman. If
you can't wear a spandex jumpsuit, what

845
01:40:55.880 --> 01:41:03.159
can you do? This is to
the eighties. Welcome back to Back to

846
01:41:03.279 --> 01:41:09.279
the Eighties Radio, Toscano and Chang, and we have just finished up our

847
01:41:09.359 --> 01:41:15.960
game. I thought I was going
to have to verbally and intellectually destroy you

848
01:41:15.199 --> 01:41:20.439
musically on the true essence and the
definition of rock. But my brother,

849
01:41:20.960 --> 01:41:28.239
WHOA just because you have hair like
Tom Selleck, you wear a hat like

850
01:41:28.720 --> 01:41:33.600
Oh Tiger Woods, I'm afraid when
you put your Colt forty five of gold

851
01:41:34.039 --> 01:41:39.840
on the desk, but you amaze
me with your choices of music. I

852
01:41:40.039 --> 01:41:45.760
must say I applaud you. Everyone
joined me in an applause. That's right,

853
01:41:45.840 --> 01:41:47.439
that's right. Well, we still
have a lot left to talk about,

854
