SPEAKER_01: Yes, it is.
0:26
SPEAKER_01: There was a good story about the Hunter playing the Hunter live.
0:31
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
0:32
SPEAKER_01: Back in 2003, Don called me up.
0:37
SPEAKER_01: Do you have to play a bumper for this?
0:39
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01: Don called me up and it was, I don't know, a couple of weeks before Memorial Day.
1:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:05
SPEAKER_01: And he says, hey, we're doing this for four day run on the West Coast.
1:11
SPEAKER_01: Just wanted to know if you want to go.
1:14
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:14
SPEAKER_01: I'm just like, yeah, hell yeah.
1:15
SPEAKER_01: He says, well, catch a flight out here to L.A.
1:19
SPEAKER_01: I'll pick you up.
1:21
SPEAKER_01: We get on the bus, you know, down near Orange County.
1:26
SPEAKER_03: Right.
1:26
SPEAKER_01: We play Orange County.
1:28
SPEAKER_01: We're going over to Tucson, Arizona.
1:30
SPEAKER_01: We're playing with Rat and L.A.
1:32
SPEAKER_01: Guns and Kip Winger, I think, was playing solo.
1:36
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
1:37
SPEAKER_01: And then we go to Phoenix and then we go to Las Vegas.
1:42
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:43
SPEAKER_01: I'm just like, yeah, hell yeah, I'll go.
1:45
SPEAKER_01: So it was over the Memorial Day weekend.
1:47
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:48
SPEAKER_01: So...
1:49
SPEAKER_01: Out in the West, it was already pretty hot out there.
1:56
SPEAKER_02: It was four days of killing it, just having a good
2:01
SPEAKER_01: time, partying, riding the bus.
2:03
SPEAKER_01: They had a brand new bus.
2:06
SPEAKER_01: They had the bus for the weekend.
2:12
SPEAKER_01: It was just a million dollar bus, brand new.
2:16
SPEAKER_01: It smelled like a new car.
2:18
SPEAKER_03: All right, so who was the band at this point?
2:20
SPEAKER_03: Was it Mick, Don, John,
2:22
SPEAKER_01: and who?
2:23
SPEAKER_01: It was Mick, Don, John, and I think they had Greg Smith with them.
2:30
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
2:31
SPEAKER_01: You know, he played in Rainbow, and he's played with Ted Nugent.
2:35
SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm, sure.
2:36
SPEAKER_01: So anyway...
2:41
SPEAKER_01: After the fourth day, we were in Las Vegas.
2:44
SPEAKER_01: And Mick was, it was an outdoor gig.
2:48
SPEAKER_01: And it was at the, well, it was one of the Palace Station.
2:53
SPEAKER_01: It was at Sunset Station.
2:56
SPEAKER_01: Sunset Station Hotel Casino.
3:00
SPEAKER_01: And it was a big outdoor gig for Memorial Day and whatever.
3:03
SPEAKER_01: And so they're in the middle of the song, The Hunter.
3:07
SPEAKER_01: And Mick is out there just wailing away on the drums.
3:12
SPEAKER_01: Right.
3:12
SPEAKER_01: And he just falls off his drum stool.
3:16
SPEAKER_01: Passed out.
3:18
SPEAKER_02: From exhaustion or alcohol?
3:20
SPEAKER_01: Well, both.
3:20
SPEAKER_01: It was heat.
3:22
SPEAKER_01: It was dehydration.
3:24
SPEAKER_01: It was alcohol.
3:26
SPEAKER_01: It was just a whole combination.
3:28
SPEAKER_03: Right.
3:29
SPEAKER_02: And he just literally blacked out.
3:33
SPEAKER_02: And fell off the drum stool.
3:35
SPEAKER_02: That's awesome.
3:37
SPEAKER_02: And they stopped the song, you know, obviously.
3:39
SPEAKER_02: And it's like, what the, what's going on?
3:42
SPEAKER_02: And Mick is just like laying there, just kind of dazed.
3:44
SPEAKER_02: And he's like, where are we?
3:47
SPEAKER_02: And Don is like, we're in the Hunter, dude.
3:50
SPEAKER_02: And he goes, no, where are we?
3:53
SPEAKER_02: He goes, we're in Las Vegas.
3:56
SPEAKER_02: Oh.
3:58
SPEAKER_02: So they got him some water and got him, you know, reoriented and he finished out the show.
4:05
SPEAKER_02: Nice.
4:07
SPEAKER_02: It was just all the partying and the heat and the exhaustion and it was just crazy.
4:13
SPEAKER_02: Rock and roll trooper he is.
4:14
SPEAKER_02: He still finished.
4:15
SPEAKER_02: He did.
4:15
SPEAKER_01: He did.
4:17
SPEAKER_01: That was too funny, but I'll never forget that.
4:18
SPEAKER_01: Every time I hear the hunter, that's what I think about is Mick falling off the stool.
4:22
SPEAKER_01: Just, you know, just dazed.
4:26
SPEAKER_01: So good.
4:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
4:28
SPEAKER_01: So anyway,
4:29
SPEAKER_01: speaking of Doc,
4:30
SPEAKER_01: and I went to Dayton last weekend while you hosted the show solo or
4:35
SPEAKER_01: with guest hosts.
4:37
SPEAKER_02: Sure.
4:39
SPEAKER_02: And it was interesting to say the least.
4:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so I hear.
4:44
SPEAKER_02: Things don't always go as planned.
4:48
SPEAKER_01: So let me back up the story from as early as I'm aware of things taking place.
4:55
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
4:55
SPEAKER_01: Now, as you know, Mark Bowles is in the band now.
4:59
SPEAKER_01: He plays bass and does backup vocals, which makes a big difference in that band.
5:05
SPEAKER_01: I agree.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: Makes them sound very tough.
5:08
SPEAKER_01: It does.
5:09
SPEAKER_01: And Mark is a great vocalist, great bassist, good performer.
5:13
SPEAKER_01: He's a good fit for docking.
5:16
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
5:17
SPEAKER_01: And as you know, Mark is a lead vocalist in his own right.
5:22
SPEAKER_01: He was the lead vocalist with Yngwie Malmsteen for a couple of albums,
5:26
SPEAKER_01: and he's done many other projects and whatnot.
5:30
SPEAKER_01: Well, he's currently involved with that Raiding the Rock Vault album.
5:35
SPEAKER_01: Right, okay.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: Out in Las Vegas and he lives in Vegas now.
5:39
SPEAKER_03: Right.
5:40
SPEAKER_01: And so he's doubling his,
5:43
SPEAKER_01: you know, duty by playing with Dokken and playing and raiding the rock vault.
5:50
SPEAKER_01: Right, okay.
5:50
SPEAKER_01: So on the nights he's playing with Dokken,
5:53
SPEAKER_01: obviously he can't be in Vegas,
5:55
SPEAKER_01: so he has to,
5:56
SPEAKER_01: you know,
5:58
SPEAKER_01: Schedule his time to play with Dokken on their nights and then get back to Vegas
6:03
SPEAKER_01: and play the Raiding the Rock Vault on those nights.
6:07
SPEAKER_01: So he's a busy guy, to say the least.
6:10
SPEAKER_03: Traveling man, as the song says.
6:12
SPEAKER_02: He is.
6:13
SPEAKER_01: So Dokken played a casino in Grand Forks, Minnesota on Friday night.
6:23
SPEAKER_01: Grabbed a plane Saturday morning.
6:27
SPEAKER_01: Had to be in Dayton by Saturday evening for the show in Dayton.
6:31
SPEAKER_01: Well, Mark flew in separately to Grand Forks because he flew in from Vegas.
6:40
SPEAKER_01: You know, Don and John and Mick, they all came in from L.A.
6:45
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
6:46
SPEAKER_01: And then Mark had to finish up his show on Thursday night and fly in on Friday.
6:54
SPEAKER_01: Well, as you know,
6:55
SPEAKER_01: Dawkins' policy,
6:56
SPEAKER_01: Don's policy anyway,
6:58
SPEAKER_01: is that they fly in the day before the show
7:01
SPEAKER_03: because
7:02
SPEAKER_01: he doesn't want to miss a gig,
7:04
SPEAKER_01: and so he always comes in a day ahead.
7:07
SPEAKER_01: Right.
7:07
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
7:07
SPEAKER_01: So Mark had a show on Thursday night, so he couldn't fly till Friday morning.
7:14
SPEAKER_01: Right.
7:14
SPEAKER_01: So the guys were already there on Thursday evening for the Friday show,
7:20
SPEAKER_01: and then Mark came in on Friday.
7:21
SPEAKER_01: So since Mark came in by himself,
7:24
SPEAKER_01: since the guys all fly together more often than not,
7:29
SPEAKER_01: they either get a van or a shuttle from the airport to the hotel.
7:33
SPEAKER_01: Right.
7:35
SPEAKER_03: Right.
7:35
SPEAKER_01: And they all ride together.
7:37
SPEAKER_01: And then when it's time to fly out for the next gig,
7:40
SPEAKER_01: which in this case was Dayton,
7:41
SPEAKER_01: Ohio, they all grab the van together because they played at a casino.
7:47
SPEAKER_01: So they got the casino shuttle van, took them to the airport.
7:51
SPEAKER_01: Right.
7:52
SPEAKER_01: But since Mark came in by himself the day after, he got a rental car.
7:58
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
7:59
SPEAKER_01: And drove the rental car from the airport to the gig at Grand Forks.
8:05
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
8:05
SPEAKER_01: Well, when it was time to fly out on Saturday, he had to return the car.
8:10
SPEAKER_01: Oh, boy.
8:12
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
8:13
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
8:13
SPEAKER_01: Well, Don said right after the show on Friday evening,
8:17
SPEAKER_01: he wanted to get into Dayton a little bit earlier than their original schedule.
8:22
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
8:22
SPEAKER_01: So he bumped the flights up and he told everybody that, hey, I bumped up the flights.
8:29
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
8:30
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
8:30
SPEAKER_01: Well, for some reason...
8:35
SPEAKER_01: Obviously, I wasn't there.
8:37
SPEAKER_01: Well, Mark, for whatever reason, didn't get the message
8:43
SPEAKER_01: or didn't heed the message.
8:45
SPEAKER_01: Let's put it that way.
8:46
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
8:47
SPEAKER_01: And so they were leaving out as the band,
8:51
SPEAKER_01: Mick, John, and Don were leaving together on the shuttle to the airport.
8:55
SPEAKER_01: Right.
8:55
SPEAKER_01: And they said that they called...
8:58
SPEAKER_01: Mark's room and his cell phone and whatever said, hey, we're leading for the airport.
9:05
SPEAKER_01: We'll see you there because he had to bring his car back so he couldn't ride with them, right?
9:12
SPEAKER_01: Right, sure.
9:13
SPEAKER_01: Well, they get to the airport and they're waiting and they're about ready to board
9:16
SPEAKER_01: and there's no Mark.
9:18
SPEAKER_01: Oh, boy.
9:19
SPEAKER_01: So Don is calling Mark.
9:21
SPEAKER_01: He's like, where are you, dude?
9:22
SPEAKER_01: Come on.
9:22
SPEAKER_01: The plane is leaving.
9:24
SPEAKER_01: We're boarding in 10 minutes, you know?
9:26
SPEAKER_01: Right.
9:26
SPEAKER_01: And he goes, I'm still here at the casino.
9:29
SPEAKER_01: The flights don't leave till like 11.
9:31
SPEAKER_02: And it's like 7 in the morning, right?
9:34
SPEAKER_02: Right.
9:34
SPEAKER_02: He goes, no, the flight leaves at 7.
9:37
SPEAKER_02: I told you last night.
9:38
SPEAKER_02: We changed flights.
9:39
SPEAKER_02: We're leaving now.
9:42
SPEAKER_02: Well...
9:45
SPEAKER_01: Obviously,
9:46
SPEAKER_01: I don't know where this casino was in relation to Grand Forks,
9:49
SPEAKER_01: but he was a bit away, so he's going to miss the flight.
9:53
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
9:53
SPEAKER_01: So Don said, I told him, sit tight.
9:58
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to try to rearrange your flight to get you a different flight.
10:04
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
10:04

SPEAKER_01: Well, he rearranged the flight before he got on the plane.
10:42
SPEAKER_01: And when he got on the plane,
10:43
SPEAKER_01: he got a hold of Mark, called the hotel room and stuff, couldn't get a hold of him.
10:48
SPEAKER_01: So he's like texting him, where are you?
10:51
SPEAKER_02: And he's like, I'm on my way to the airport.
10:55
SPEAKER_02: And he says, I told you to sit tight.
10:57
SPEAKER_02: He said, I got you a flight out of Fargo,
11:02
SPEAKER_01: North Dakota.
11:02
SPEAKER_01: You're not flying out of Grand Forks.
11:05
SPEAKER_01: Oh, no.
11:06
SPEAKER_01: But he was already, see, Grand Forks and Fargo are in two opposite directions.
11:11
SPEAKER_01: Right, okay.
11:12
SPEAKER_01: And he's just like,
11:13
SPEAKER_01: you need to turn around because your flight leaves out of Fargo, not Grand Forks.
11:18
SPEAKER_01: Right.
11:18
SPEAKER_01: And so if he's like, well, I need to return the car, he says, don't worry about that.
11:23
SPEAKER_01: I had somebody at the hotel who was going to return the car for you.
11:29
SPEAKER_02: Well, he was already 60 miles in the opposite direction.
11:33
SPEAKER_02: Oh, God.
11:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
11:34
SPEAKER_01: So he had to turn around and get back to the casino and whatever and get to Fargo.
11:41
SPEAKER_01: Well, by the time he got to Fargo, he missed his flight.
11:46
SPEAKER_02: Goddamn.
11:47
SPEAKER_02: So now it's like noon already.
11:50
SPEAKER_02: Right.
11:50
SPEAKER_02: On day of show.
11:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, on day of show.
11:53
SPEAKER_02: Right.
11:53
SPEAKER_01: So now he's missed his flight.
11:56
SPEAKER_01: So he was able,
11:57
SPEAKER_01: I guess he got a flight or something to Minneapolis,
12:00
SPEAKER_01: which is the main hub over in Minnesota, right?
12:03
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
12:03
SPEAKER_01: Well, by the time he got there,
12:05
SPEAKER_01: he couldn't find a flight to get him into either Cincinnati, Dayton, or Columbus.
12:12
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
12:13
SPEAKER_01: So he couldn't find a flight.
12:15
SPEAKER_01: Oh, no.
12:16
SPEAKER_01: So by this time, you know, they had gotten to the hotel in Dayton.
12:20
SPEAKER_01: I had hooked up with them at the hotel.
12:22
SPEAKER_01: And so Don, you know, he usually goes and takes a nap.
12:27
SPEAKER_01: And Mick and John usually go to the venue to do the sound check, right?
12:31
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
12:33
SPEAKER_01: Well, Don, before he went to bed, he assumed that Mark was going to get on his flight in Fargo.
12:40
SPEAKER_01: He didn't know he missed the flight.
12:42
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
12:43
SPEAKER_01: So Mark is texting and calling John and telling him, hey, dude, I missed my flight.
12:50
SPEAKER_01: And he's just like, where are you?
12:53
SPEAKER_01: And he's like, well, I'm in St. Paul.
12:57
SPEAKER_01: And so they're jockeying back and forth trying to figure out how to get him to Ohio.
13:04
SPEAKER_03: Right.
13:04
SPEAKER_01: And the airport in Cincinnati was only like 35 miles away.
13:11
SPEAKER_01: And the airport in...
13:14
SPEAKER_01: In Columbus is like 100 miles away.
13:18
SPEAKER_01: And then the Dayton Airport is too small to where they couldn't get him
13:22
SPEAKER_01: a direct flight into Dayton.
13:24
SPEAKER_01: So his flight was going to land in Columbus at 8.15.
13:31
SPEAKER_01: At night?
13:31
SPEAKER_01: At night.
13:33
SPEAKER_01: And the show, they were scheduled to go on at quarter of nine.
13:40
SPEAKER_01: Oh, my God.
13:41
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
13:41
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
13:44
SPEAKER_01: So the only thing he could do was take that flight to Columbus
13:48
SPEAKER_01: and hopefully stall their start time.
13:53
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
13:53
SPEAKER_01: Well, Trickster and Firehouse
13:57
SPEAKER_02: were playing, too.
13:58
SPEAKER_02: Now, wait a minute.
13:59
SPEAKER_02: Before you go to the band's playing, Don does not know any of this.
14:03
SPEAKER_01: No, Don is not aware of any of this.
14:06
SPEAKER_02: Okay, because I know Don would be
14:07
SPEAKER_01: losing his shit.
14:08
SPEAKER_01: He would be.
14:10
SPEAKER_01: Well, John is doing his best to take care of this.
14:15
SPEAKER_01: So, of course,
14:16
SPEAKER_01: me, I know all geographical areas and I know mileages and I know how far things are.
14:22
SPEAKER_01: After years of driving a truck,
14:24
SPEAKER_01: I can tell you how far one city is from the next, just right off the top of my head.
14:29
SPEAKER_01: So John is relying on me.
14:30
SPEAKER_01: How far is Columbus from here?
14:32
SPEAKER_01: How far is Cincinnati from here?
14:35
SPEAKER_01: What's the closest this and how can we get him here?
14:40
SPEAKER_01: So as soon as Dokken had got to the hotel,
14:46
SPEAKER_01: we got the shuttle and went over to the venue, a place called JD Legends.
14:53
SPEAKER_01: And it was kind of a multiplex type place.
14:56
SPEAKER_01: It had a bowling alley and it was concert venue and volleyball.
15:02
SPEAKER_01: And it's just kind of like a sports complex type place, you know, just a multiplex.
15:08
SPEAKER_01: And so the area that they use for the big volleyball tournaments and things,
15:13
SPEAKER_01: well, they took the nets down and everything, but they had a big stage there.
15:17
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
15:17
SPEAKER_01: And sound equipment and everything.
15:19
SPEAKER_01: So I was going with Mick and John to go do sound check.
15:25
SPEAKER_01: And since Mark wasn't there to do sound check,
15:28
SPEAKER_01: I had to fill in for him at his spot,
15:31
SPEAKER_01: you know, do sound check on the mics and, you know, the amps and everything.
15:35
SPEAKER_03: Right.
15:36
SPEAKER_01: And since Dokken does the fly-ins, they don't bring roadies and techs and things with them.
15:44
SPEAKER_01: So John and Mick have to set up their own gear.
15:47
SPEAKER_01: Right.
15:49
SPEAKER_01: It's rented gear.
15:50
SPEAKER_01: The drums and everything are rented,
15:52
SPEAKER_01: but John brings his guitars,
15:54
SPEAKER_01: but the amps and everything,
15:55
SPEAKER_01: all the back line is all rented,
15:57
SPEAKER_01: so they have to more or less tune it to make it work for them, right?
16:02
SPEAKER_01: Right.
16:03
SPEAKER_01: So I was helping Mick set up his drums and his cymbals and all this and that
16:07
SPEAKER_01: and John was doing his checks on his amp heads and getting his settings all right
16:14
SPEAKER_01: and working with the sound guy and then Don had given me,
16:17
SPEAKER_01: you know, Don uses wireless in-ears.
16:22
SPEAKER_01: And he uses wireless mics,
16:24
SPEAKER_01: so he gave me his mic transmitter and he gave me his in-ear transmitter
16:30
SPEAKER_01: and everything and told me to give it to the sound guy and make sure
16:33
SPEAKER_01: the guy set it up right and everything.
16:36
SPEAKER_01: So I took it there,
16:38
SPEAKER_01: and so I was helping these guys set up,
16:40
SPEAKER_01: and the guys from Trickster came,
16:42
SPEAKER_01: and I talked to Steve Brown for a couple of minutes,
16:45
SPEAKER_01: and the drummer from Firehouse,
16:50
SPEAKER_01: he was setting up his drum kit,
16:51
SPEAKER_01: and everybody was just setting up and do sound check and whatnot.
16:55
SPEAKER_01: Well, prior to sound check, we went into the sports bar over there to have lunch.
17:03
SPEAKER_01: And there was a bunch of bikers in the sports bar
17:06
SPEAKER_01: and they recognized Mick right away and everybody, hey Mick, take some pictures.
17:11
SPEAKER_01: Mick's just a wild and crazy guy.
17:14
SPEAKER_01: So he went over and John went over and they all just sat with everybody
17:18
SPEAKER_01: in their booths and their chairs and took pictures and signed autographs
17:22
SPEAKER_01: and laughing and joking just like they always do.
17:25
SPEAKER_03: Right, of course.
17:26
SPEAKER_01: You know, just very jovial.
17:28
SPEAKER_01: They didn't turn anybody away.
17:31
SPEAKER_01: They took all the pictures and whatever anybody wanted.
17:34
SPEAKER_01: Then they came over and we all sat down in like one of those horseshoe-shaped booths.
17:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
17:40
SPEAKER_01: And then we ordered lunch and then John was,
17:43
SPEAKER_01: you know,
17:44
SPEAKER_01: dealing with Mark's flights and everything,
17:46
SPEAKER_01: you know, and we were just all kind of...
17:49
SPEAKER_01: You know,
17:50
SPEAKER_01: just kind of sitting there talking and what's going to happen
17:53
SPEAKER_01: if Mark doesn't make it on time.
17:55
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, we're just kind of discussing that kind of stuff.
17:58
SPEAKER_02: Right.
17:58
SPEAKER_02: And as far as I could tell, everything was cool, right?
18:02
SPEAKER_02: Right.
18:02
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
18:04
SPEAKER_02: So we went out there, did sound check with everybody.
18:07
SPEAKER_01: Everything seemed to be fine, you know, whatnot.
18:10
SPEAKER_01: And, you know,
18:11
SPEAKER_01: I didn't think anything of it because,
18:13
SPEAKER_01: you know, I've been around those guys forever, you know.
18:16
SPEAKER_02: And so I looked over there,
18:19
SPEAKER_02: or I actually,
18:20
SPEAKER_02: Teresa had pointed me out to the Facebook page for this place,
18:24
SPEAKER_02: and some chick,
18:27
SPEAKER_02: she posted over there something about,
18:31
SPEAKER_01: you know,
18:32
SPEAKER_01: I was sitting having lunch behind those guys,
18:34
SPEAKER_01: and that doc and drummer totally had that rock star attitude.
18:42
SPEAKER_02: And I'm just like, how did I miss that?
18:45
SPEAKER_02: I was sitting right there.
18:50
SPEAKER_02: I mean, they couldn't have been any more friendly than
18:54
SPEAKER_01: anybody could ever have been.
18:55
SPEAKER_01: And this chick,
18:56
SPEAKER_01: whoever she was,
18:58
SPEAKER_01: just flat out, yeah, yeah,
19:00
SPEAKER_01: I was sitting behind them having lunch,
19:01
SPEAKER_01: and they just totally had that rock star attitude.
19:04
SPEAKER_03: Right.
19:07
SPEAKER_01: She says,
19:10
SPEAKER_01: I was in the restaurant with them and they were sitting behind me and
19:14
SPEAKER_01: the drummer was rude and had a rock star attitude.
19:21
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that sounds like Mick.
19:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
19:23
SPEAKER_02: Not at all.
19:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
19:25
SPEAKER_02: And I was there.
19:26
SPEAKER_02: I saw it.
19:28
SPEAKER_02: They didn't turn anybody away.
19:30
SPEAKER_02: Right.
19:31
SPEAKER_02: Or just leave me alone or anything.
19:36
SPEAKER_02: I read that and I was just like, when did
19:38
SPEAKER_03: this happen?
19:39
SPEAKER_03: It had to be somebody else.
19:41
SPEAKER_03: If it's true, it had to be somebody else.
19:45
SPEAKER_03: Because Mick, of all the guys... Now, to be perfectly honest, I could see Don doing that.
19:52
SPEAKER_03: I could see Don being in a bad mood and just not wanting to deal with anybody.
19:56
SPEAKER_03: I can picture that.
19:57
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I've never seen it happen, but I can...
20:01
SPEAKER_03: Picture that in my mind.
20:03
SPEAKER_03: Mick gets off on being famous.
20:06
SPEAKER_03: Mick will tell a thousand stories in a row about how much he loves being famous.
20:10
SPEAKER_03: Sure.
20:11
SPEAKER_03: He's not going to turn anybody away ever.
20:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:15
SPEAKER_03: That's just not who that guy is.
20:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:17
SPEAKER_02: And he was just as friendly as can be.
20:18
SPEAKER_02: But when I saw that comment, I was just like, what are you talking about?
20:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:23
SPEAKER_02: No kidding.
20:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:24
SPEAKER_01: So anyway, we got soundcheck done, went back to the hotel.
20:31
SPEAKER_01: It was about two hours before we had to head back to the venue for the gig, right?
20:38
SPEAKER_01: Right.
20:39
SPEAKER_01: So I went back to my room, just kind of took a short nap, met up with the guys in the lobby.
20:46
SPEAKER_01: We got the van, went to the venue.
20:49
SPEAKER_01: Right.
20:50
SPEAKER_01: All right.
20:51
SPEAKER_01: So we get to the venue and they don't have a green room.
20:55
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
20:55
SPEAKER_01: They don't have a place to be,
20:58
SPEAKER_01: you know,
20:58
SPEAKER_01: if these guys wanted to change clothes or have a dressing room or nothing,
21:02
SPEAKER_01: they didn't have anything like that.
21:04
SPEAKER_03: Wait a minute, this big multiplex that has concerts?
21:07
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
21:08
SPEAKER_03: And volleyball and shit doesn't have a dressing room?
21:11
SPEAKER_02: Uh-uh.
21:11
SPEAKER_02: They didn't have a green room of any kind.
21:14
SPEAKER_02: So when you come off stage, where are you?
21:16
SPEAKER_02: Backstage, just in the open air bar area.
21:22
SPEAKER_03: So where is Firehouse and L.A.
21:26
SPEAKER_03: Guns or whoever?
21:28
SPEAKER_03: Firehouse and Trickster.
21:29
SPEAKER_03: Trickster?
21:30
SPEAKER_02: Where are they at after they play?
21:32
SPEAKER_02: Well, they just were hanging out over in the outdoor bar area.
21:37
SPEAKER_02: That's all.
21:38
SPEAKER_01: There was really no green room.
21:40
SPEAKER_01: So they had this room,
21:43
SPEAKER_01: which was basically the pro shop where people buy bowling balls and get them drilled
21:48
SPEAKER_01: and stuff.
21:50
SPEAKER_01: Well, they had this room and it was basically the pro shop store.
21:56
SPEAKER_01: And then they had one of those big backdrops.
21:59
SPEAKER_01: You know how you go to like a Hollywood premiere or something?
22:03
SPEAKER_01: They got the backdrop with the logos of the premiere on it.
22:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sure.
22:09
SPEAKER_01: Well, they had this room and they had one of those big backdrops
22:13
SPEAKER_01: because they do these meet and greets with all these bands and things that come
22:16
SPEAKER_01: in there.
22:17
SPEAKER_01: So they have a place where everybody can stand in front of the backdrop.
22:21
SPEAKER_01: Right.
22:22
SPEAKER_03: Right.
22:22
SPEAKER_01: And I sent you a picture last week of some kid wearing an animal skin on his shoulder.
22:28
SPEAKER_03: Right.
22:29
SPEAKER_01: You saw it.
22:29
SPEAKER_01: So, yeah.
22:31
SPEAKER_01: So they let them use that room, the pro shop room for the green room.
22:37
SPEAKER_03: Right.
22:38
SPEAKER_01: And they brought in like the vegetable trays and the wine and,
22:42
SPEAKER_01: you know, whatever else they had on their ride or they brought that all in.
22:45
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
22:45
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
22:46
SPEAKER_01: And we were there.
22:48
SPEAKER_01: And so the club manager, owner,
22:51
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if he was the owner or just the manager or whatever,
22:53
SPEAKER_01: but he's just like, all right, guys, well, we got this meet and greet.
22:56
SPEAKER_01: We got people lined up here.
22:58
SPEAKER_01: They want to do this meet and greet.
23:00
SPEAKER_01: Of course, they didn't really inform the band that they were doing this.
23:05
SPEAKER_01: Right.
23:05
SPEAKER_01: But by that time, Mark actually got to the venue.
23:09
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
23:10
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
23:10
SPEAKER_01: So that worked out okay.
23:12
SPEAKER_01: He got there in plenty of time and Firehouse was still on the stage.
23:16
SPEAKER_03: So, okay, so let's backtrack a little bit.
23:19
SPEAKER_03: Somewhere in this mix here, Don knows that Mark's not there.
23:23
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because he was supposed to get to the hotel by five.
23:27
SPEAKER_02: So is Don losing his shit?
23:29
SPEAKER_01: No, he's not losing his shit, but PJ Farley from the band Trickster is a huge Dokken fan.
23:37
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
23:37
SPEAKER_01: And he told John that if need be, if he needed to fill in, he knows all the Dokken songs.
23:43
SPEAKER_01: Oh.
23:44
SPEAKER_01: So he volunteered to step in to play the bass if they needed him.
23:49
SPEAKER_01: Right.
23:50
SPEAKER_01: Well, then Mark showed up, so it was fine.
23:53
SPEAKER_03: Right.
23:53
SPEAKER_01: All right.
23:54
SPEAKER_01: So the owner,
23:57
SPEAKER_01: you know,
23:57
SPEAKER_01: kind of a,
23:58
SPEAKER_01: you know,
23:58
SPEAKER_01: one of these kind of a bumpkin kind of guy, you know, he's just like all starstruck.
24:04
SPEAKER_01: Right.
24:04
SPEAKER_01: You know, Don, it's just so great to have you guys here.
24:08
SPEAKER_01: It's just a pleasure and an honor and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you know.
24:12
SPEAKER_01: Well, so they start bringing all these people in and,
24:15
SPEAKER_01: you know, taking photos in front of this backdrop thing.
24:18
SPEAKER_01: And the guys were great with it.
24:20
SPEAKER_01: You know, everybody was happy and smiling and, you know, taking great pictures.
24:24
SPEAKER_03: Saw a bunch of those pictures online.
24:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they were on the Facebook page.
24:28
SPEAKER_03: Right.
24:29
SPEAKER_01: You can go to the Facebook JD Legends Concerts.
24:35
SPEAKER_01: Right.
24:36
SPEAKER_01: That's facebook.com slash JD as in dog legends concerts.
24:43
SPEAKER_01: Right.
24:43
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
24:44
SPEAKER_01: You can go and look at those.
24:46
SPEAKER_02: All right.
24:47
SPEAKER_02: And you can see that they're smiling and laughing and just having a good time.
24:50
SPEAKER_02: And they were.
24:51
SPEAKER_01: They were having a good time.
24:54
SPEAKER_01: All right.
24:55
SPEAKER_01: So Firehouse gets off the stage.
24:57
SPEAKER_01: Then, you know, Dokken is the headliner.
24:59
SPEAKER_01: So Dokken heads out.
25:02
SPEAKER_01: And they...
25:04
SPEAKER_01: They break into their tunes.
25:06
SPEAKER_01: Well, this sound guy... Oh, let me go back.
25:11
SPEAKER_02: I need to go back to the sound check.
25:13
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
25:14
SPEAKER_02: That you were playing bass in.
25:16
SPEAKER_02: Well, yeah, I was doing the stand-in for Mark.
25:19
SPEAKER_01: Well...
25:20
SPEAKER_01: John was up there getting his guitar tone and everything all set up.
25:26
SPEAKER_01: Well, he wasn't getting the sound that he needed.
25:32
SPEAKER_01: And these sound guys that they brought in,
25:36
SPEAKER_01: their rented sound group,
25:40
SPEAKER_01: these guys aren't the most experienced sound people in the world.
25:44
SPEAKER_01: Right.
25:44
SPEAKER_01: So John went to front a house mixer and he told the guy what the settings were he needed.
25:52
SPEAKER_01: Right.
25:54
SPEAKER_03: Are you looking at the chat?
25:55
SPEAKER_01: I am looking
25:55
SPEAKER_02: at the chat.
25:58
SPEAKER_02: They're killing me with the bowling shit.
26:00
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
26:00
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's what it looked like.
26:04
SPEAKER_02: That's what the green room looked like with all the bowling balls on the wall and everything.
26:08
SPEAKER_02: That is hilarious.
26:09
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
26:10
True.
26:11
SPEAKER_02: True.
26:12
SPEAKER_02: All right, go ahead.
26:13
SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry.
26:16
SPEAKER_01: John had me stand on his side of the stage and test the amp mics.
26:21
SPEAKER_01: Right.
26:22
SPEAKER_01: So I was up there just kind of tapping on the mics and getting the sound and everything.
26:25
SPEAKER_01: So he was out front of the house and telling the guy the settings he wanted up there.
26:33
SPEAKER_01: Well, he said the guy kind of took an attitude with him.
26:35
SPEAKER_01: And you know John.
26:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
26:37
SPEAKER_01: John is just the nicest, sweetest,
26:40
SPEAKER_02: laid back, easygoing guy you could ever know.
26:43
SPEAKER_03: John is not a guy that ever seems like he would fight with you.
26:46
SPEAKER_02: Never.
26:47
SPEAKER_03: Anything.
26:48
SPEAKER_01: Never.
26:49
SPEAKER_01: So before they went on,
26:51
SPEAKER_01: about five minutes before he went on,
26:54
SPEAKER_01: John came over to me and he says, he says, do me a favor.
26:59
SPEAKER_01: He says, I don't think that front of house guy likes me.
27:03
SPEAKER_01: He said he gave me some real attitude when I went out there.
27:06
SPEAKER_01: He said, make sure he doesn't sandbag me on the sound.
27:09
SPEAKER_01: Go out there and...
27:12
SPEAKER_01: Threaten them if you have to.
27:14
SPEAKER_01: Wow.
27:14
SPEAKER_01: You know.
27:15
SPEAKER_01: Right.
27:16
SPEAKER_01: So I was standing on the side of the stage during the first song and John looks over
27:20
SPEAKER_01: at me and points to his ears and then points out to the sound guy.
27:24
SPEAKER_01: So I knew exactly what he needed.
27:26
SPEAKER_01: Right.
27:26
SPEAKER_01: So I ran out there to the front of house and I said to the guy,
27:31
SPEAKER_01: I said, do you have John's settings where he told you this afternoon?
27:35
SPEAKER_01: And the guy kind of like looked at me like he was kind of like startled a little bit.
27:39
SPEAKER_01: Right.
27:39
SPEAKER_01: That I came out there.
27:41
SPEAKER_01: So he reached over and he tweaked the gain and stuff on there.
27:45
SPEAKER_01: And John,
27:47
SPEAKER_01: I looked up at John and he gave me the thumbs up like,
27:49
SPEAKER_01: yeah, that's what I wanted, you know?
27:51
SPEAKER_01: Right.
27:52
SPEAKER_01: So then that was fine.
27:54
SPEAKER_01: So he knew that this guy was going to turn the settings back.
27:59
SPEAKER_01: Right.
28:00
SPEAKER_01: So anyway, long story short.
28:02
SPEAKER_01: So Don gets out there.
28:03
SPEAKER_01: Don starts singing the song and all of a sudden he's wearing his in-ears, right?
28:07
SPEAKER_01: Right.
28:08
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
28:09
SPEAKER_02: Feedback, just, you know, just this, and I could just see the pain on Don's face.
28:17
SPEAKER_02: Right.
28:17
SPEAKER_02: You know, because he was getting full feedback
28:20
SPEAKER_01: in his headphones.
28:21
SPEAKER_02: Right.
28:21
SPEAKER_02: Right.
28:22
SPEAKER_01: Now, you know,
28:24
SPEAKER_01: you know,
28:24
SPEAKER_01: and as well as anybody that I have seen Don do this at least a couple dozen times
28:31
SPEAKER_01: over the years.
28:32
SPEAKER_01: If a sound guy,
28:33
SPEAKER_01: oh, first of all, when he, before he went out on stage, he had his wireless, right?
28:39
SPEAKER_01: And the guy introducing the band was using Don's mic.
28:44
SPEAKER_01: So Don had his in-ear pack on, and he's listening to the guy do the intro.
28:49
SPEAKER_01: And this guy's yelling.
28:50
SPEAKER_01: Well, no, no, it wasn't so much that.
28:52
SPEAKER_01: He's like, I'm only hearing one side.
28:54
SPEAKER_01: He says, I'm only getting left channel only.
28:57
SPEAKER_01: Oh, no.
28:58
SPEAKER_01: He said, this isn't right.
28:59
SPEAKER_01: He says, I'm getting left channel only.
29:01
SPEAKER_03: Now, this is after a successful sound check?
29:04
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
29:04
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
29:05
SPEAKER_02: Well, you got to remember that Firehouse and Trickster both played.
29:11
SPEAKER_02: But he didn't mark his board?
29:12
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
29:13
SPEAKER_02: I don't know what he did.
29:14
SPEAKER_02: What a douche.
29:15
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
29:16
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know what he did.
29:17
SPEAKER_01: So Don leans over to me and he goes, I'm only getting left channel.
29:23
SPEAKER_01: So as soon as the band broke into Unchain the Night,
29:29
SPEAKER_01: he went over to the board to see what was going on over there.
29:33
SPEAKER_01: The guy had his in-ears plugged into the mono channel.
29:39
SPEAKER_01: So he wasn't getting stereo.
29:42
SPEAKER_01: He was only getting mono.
29:44
SPEAKER_01: Very nice.
29:44
SPEAKER_01: So he had to unplug and plug it into the stereo channel so he could get the stereo.
29:52
SPEAKER_01: So then he went back when he went out to do the vocals that he got some major feedback.
30:00
SPEAKER_00: Heavy Metal Warriors, are you ready to crank it up?
30:04
SPEAKER_00: The Classic Metal Show is live every Saturday night,

30:43
SPEAKER_00: The classic metal show, Louder on Rumble.
30:48
SPEAKER_01: And then, you know, what he likes to hear in his headphones is just vocal.
30:53
SPEAKER_01: He doesn't want to hear the band in his headphones.
30:55
SPEAKER_01: He just wants to hear vocals so he can monitor himself.
30:58
SPEAKER_01: And in the wedges on the front of the stage, that's where he wants to hear the band.
31:04
SPEAKER_03: Right.
31:05
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
31:05
SPEAKER_01: Well, the guy put full monitors in his headphones.
31:08
SPEAKER_01: Right.
31:10
SPEAKER_02: He put band and vocals into his in-ears.
31:15
SPEAKER_02: Right.
31:15
SPEAKER_02: So Don went over there and told the guy, vocals only.
31:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
31:22
SPEAKER_01: And he went over there and just...
31:25
SPEAKER_01: And actually, there's a YouTube video out there.
31:27
SPEAKER_01: It's a shitty video.
31:28
SPEAKER_01: I think I even sent it to you.
31:29
SPEAKER_02: Sent it to me.
31:31
SPEAKER_01: You can see him walking over there and trying to get this guy straightened out, right?
31:37
SPEAKER_01: Right.
31:38
SPEAKER_01: Well, he's dealing with this the best way he can through the whole show.
31:42
SPEAKER_01: And I was standing on the side of the stage,
31:45
SPEAKER_01: so that feedback coming through that monitor just blew you backwards.
31:49
SPEAKER_01: Right.
31:50
SPEAKER_01: It just squealed and then Donna got it in his in-ears and then it came in on
31:56
SPEAKER_01: the stage and it was just terrible.
31:58
SPEAKER_01: The sound was terrible.
32:00
SPEAKER_01: But they muddled through it and after about,
32:03
SPEAKER_01: I don't know,
32:03
SPEAKER_01: the sixth or seventh song,
32:06
SPEAKER_01: Don stopped the show after he had talked to the sound guy like two
32:10
SPEAKER_01: or three times already.
32:11
SPEAKER_01: And everybody was just hooting and hollering.
32:15
SPEAKER_01: And I think he was just trying to be funny and trying to make light of the situation.
32:21
SPEAKER_01: But he told everybody, I don't think he said shut up.
32:26
SPEAKER_01: I think he told everybody just to be quiet for a second.
32:29
SPEAKER_02: Then he said to the sound guy, he says...
32:31
SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't mind playing more songs for these people if you'd get my fucking sound right.
32:38
SPEAKER_02: Because he just had it at that point.
32:40
SPEAKER_02: Right.
32:41
SPEAKER_02: All right.
32:42
SPEAKER_02: So he did swear on stage.
32:44
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
32:44
SPEAKER_01: So what?
32:45
SPEAKER_01: Well, this apparently is a no-swear zone.
32:48
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what it is, if it's like a family club or something.
32:51
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what it was.
32:52
SPEAKER_01: No-swear zone.
32:55
SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm just using that as a terminology.
32:58
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
32:58
SPEAKER_02: Well, this club manager flips out...
33:04
SPEAKER_02: Guess who he comes to immediately?
33:06
SPEAKER_02: You know, the manager.
33:07
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, me.
33:08
SPEAKER_02: Really?
33:08
SPEAKER_02: He comes to me.
33:10
SPEAKER_02: You need to go out there and tell Don he can't be cursing like that.
33:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you need to do that.
33:15
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
33:16
SPEAKER_02: So he tells me, I need to do that.
33:19
SPEAKER_02: And what'd you tell him?
33:20
SPEAKER_02: I'm just like,
33:21
SPEAKER_01: I just said,
33:23
SPEAKER_01: when he comes back over to the side of stage,
33:25
SPEAKER_01: I'll say something to him, but I'm not walking out there.
33:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course not.
33:30
SPEAKER_01: So Don came over to me and he kind of rested on my shoulder there and he goes,
33:37
SPEAKER_01: this is by far one of the worst gigs I've ever played.
33:42
SPEAKER_01: He said, this is just insane, the incompetence of the sound system here or the crew.
33:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
33:52
SPEAKER_01: And that's what you get when you hire a backline, right?
33:56
SPEAKER_01: Right.
33:56
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
33:56
SPEAKER_01: So anyway, long story short, the show wasn't that good.
34:03
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
34:04
SPEAKER_01: Because of the technical problems.
34:06
SPEAKER_01: Right.
34:06
SPEAKER_01: Well, they got into the last song.
34:08
SPEAKER_01: They finished the last song.
34:09
SPEAKER_01: And just as they finished the last song, John blew his amp.
34:13
SPEAKER_01: Right.
34:18
SPEAKER_02: This rented backline app.
34:19
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was a rented backline app.
34:21
SPEAKER_02: Now, mind you, they were going to come out and do an encore.
34:25
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's the end of that.
34:26
SPEAKER_02: That was the end of that.
34:27
SPEAKER_02: So they plugged in to do the encore and they started playing.
34:30
SPEAKER_01: And of course, there was no guitar.
34:32
SPEAKER_01: And so they were trying to switch around heads and this and that.
34:35
SPEAKER_01: But by that time, they were just like, you know, thank you.
34:38
SPEAKER_01: Good night.
34:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
34:39
SPEAKER_01: Goodbye.
34:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
34:40
SPEAKER_01: We're out of here.
34:40
SPEAKER_01: Right.
34:41
SPEAKER_01: Right.
34:41
SPEAKER_01: Well, by this time.
34:44
SPEAKER_01: Someone like yourself who's been to a million shows,
34:47
SPEAKER_01: when the band says, thank you, good night, what needs to happen immediately?
34:53
SPEAKER_03: Lights need to come up.
34:54
SPEAKER_03: Lights need to come up and what?
34:56
SPEAKER_03: And the band needs to leave and they need to start moving people out.
35:00
SPEAKER_03: Well, not only that, but they usually play exit music.
35:03
SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
35:04
SPEAKER_03: You got to play the music to tell people it's done.
35:07
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
35:08
SPEAKER_02: Well, no lights come up, no exit music.
35:11
SPEAKER_01: So everybody's left standing in the dark going chanting dock and dock and dock.
35:16
SPEAKER_01: And then Don's like, we're fucking done here.
35:19
SPEAKER_01: The amp is blown.
35:20
SPEAKER_02: We don't have any PA. We don't have any of this.
35:23
SPEAKER_02: And I'm just like, play some house sound, do something, you know?
35:26
SPEAKER_02: And they're all just kind of standing there like looking at each other like, what, what, what?
35:30
SPEAKER_03: Was this the first weekend they've had shows there?
35:35
SPEAKER_03: Where they don't know?
35:36
SPEAKER_03: No, they have shows there all the time.
35:38
SPEAKER_03: All right.
35:39
SPEAKER_03: I mean, this just sounds fucking like shit I would do if I had a backyard show.
35:44
SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
35:45
SPEAKER_02: So it just, you know, it was just very amateurish is what it is.
35:52
SPEAKER_02: Sure.
35:52
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
35:53
SPEAKER_02: So after the show's over...
35:55
SPEAKER_01: There's nowhere to go.
35:56
SPEAKER_01: There's no green room or
35:58
SPEAKER_02: nothing, right?
36:00
SPEAKER_02: Right.
36:00
SPEAKER_02: So we're just like, well, where can we go to cool off and this and that?
36:04
SPEAKER_02: Because you would have to traipse back through the bowling alley and this and that
36:08
SPEAKER_02: to get back to that pro shop room.
36:12
SPEAKER_02: Right.
36:13
SPEAKER_02: You know, and you know, those guys like to kind of cool off and, you know, collective thoughts.
36:18
SPEAKER_02: Right.
36:18
SPEAKER_02: Sure.
36:19
SPEAKER_02: They go, well, we got tents back here.
36:21
SPEAKER_02: Tents?
36:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
36:22
SPEAKER_02: They had these, they had these tents, right?
36:25
SPEAKER_02: With tables and chairs.
36:26
SPEAKER_02: Well, there was no lighting back there.
36:28
SPEAKER_02: Oh, nice.
36:29
SPEAKER_02: None.
36:30
SPEAKER_02: So they had no lights.
36:32
SPEAKER_02: At midnight.
36:33
SPEAKER_02: Well, it was like 11 o'clock, 1130.
36:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
36:36
SPEAKER_02: Give or take.
36:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
36:38
SPEAKER_01: So there's no lights back there.
36:40
SPEAKER_01: So they got two girls who work at the bar,
36:43
SPEAKER_01: work at the club, holding cell phones with the flashlight app.
36:53
SPEAKER_02: No kidding.
36:54
SPEAKER_02: That's hilarious.
36:55
SPEAKER_02: So these two girls are standing there holding their iPhones with the
36:59
SPEAKER_01: flashlight app
37:00
SPEAKER_01: on just to give them some kind of light.
37:03
SPEAKER_03: And that's no light.
37:04
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
37:04
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
37:06
SPEAKER_01: So by this time, you know, of course, Don is not happy.
37:09
SPEAKER_01: I'll bet.
37:10
SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean, he wasn't like, you know, cussing up a storm or something.
37:14
SPEAKER_01: He just is like this.
37:16
SPEAKER_01: He goes, I think I have hearing damage.
37:19
SPEAKER_01: He literally,
37:20
SPEAKER_01: he was sitting there with his head in his hands,
37:23
SPEAKER_01: you know, kind of bent over with his hands over his ears.
37:28
SPEAKER_01: And he's just like, I got hearing damage.
37:30
SPEAKER_01: Oh, my God.
37:31
SPEAKER_01: He said that the feedback on that stage just blew my eardrums.
37:37
SPEAKER_01: Oh, boy.
37:38
SPEAKER_01: You know, because he had the in-ears.
37:40
SPEAKER_01: Right.
37:40
SPEAKER_01: And, you know,
37:41
SPEAKER_01: he was just sitting there just trying to hold his head because his head was ringing,
37:47
SPEAKER_01: you know.
37:47
SPEAKER_03: Right.
37:49
SPEAKER_02: Well, by this time, the guys
37:50
SPEAKER_01: want something to eat, right?
37:52
SPEAKER_02: They have to show meal.
37:54
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
37:54
SPEAKER_01: So the guys order hamburgers, right?
37:57
SPEAKER_01: Right.
37:57
SPEAKER_01: Because this is like a bar and grill type place.
38:00
SPEAKER_01: So they tell them, okay, yeah, we'll get your burgers coming out and this and that.
38:04
SPEAKER_01: So we're just sitting there just shooting the shit and talking and Don's trying
38:08
SPEAKER_01: to recover from the ear thing and whatever.
38:10
SPEAKER_01: Right.
38:11
SPEAKER_01: And here, like half hour, 40 minutes goes by.
38:15
SPEAKER_01: And Don goes, Wendell, he says, I think this guy's going to screw me.
38:21
SPEAKER_01: And I go, what are you talking about?
38:22
SPEAKER_01: And he says, I broke the golden rule.
38:25
SPEAKER_01: I said, what do you mean?
38:27
SPEAKER_01: He says, I always get the money up front before the show.
38:31
SPEAKER_01: He said, but for some reason, I let this guy slide.
38:34
SPEAKER_01: I never do that.
38:35
SPEAKER_01: He said, I let this guy slide.
38:37
SPEAKER_01: And when I came off stage, I told him I want my settlement.
38:40
SPEAKER_01: He said, it's almost been 40 minutes.
38:42
SPEAKER_01: Where is that guy?
38:43
SPEAKER_03: Right.
38:44
SPEAKER_01: Oh, boy.
38:44
SPEAKER_01: You know,
38:45
SPEAKER_01: he says, I said, Don, I said,
38:47
SPEAKER_01: I swear to God,
38:48
SPEAKER_01: if that guy doesn't come out in five minutes, I said, I will go find him.
38:53
SPEAKER_01: And five minutes went by.
38:54
SPEAKER_01: I said, Don, I'm going to go find him.
38:56
SPEAKER_01: So I went marching in there, went to the office.
39:00
SPEAKER_01: As I went to the office, the one guy saw me coming.
39:04
SPEAKER_01: He hurried up, came out to me, and I said, where
39:08
SPEAKER_02: is Don's settlement?
39:10
SPEAKER_02: And he said, I got it right here.
39:12
SPEAKER_02: I got it right here.
39:12
SPEAKER_02: And I said, give it to me.
39:14
SPEAKER_02: He goes, no, no, no, where's Don?
39:15
SPEAKER_01: Where is he?
39:16
SPEAKER_01: I need to give it to him personally.
39:17
SPEAKER_01: And I said, well, he's over here.
39:19
SPEAKER_01: So we went out there.
39:21
SPEAKER_01: And the guy went to, the guy says, I got your settlement, Don.
39:26
SPEAKER_01: And so he takes the envelope.
39:33
SPEAKER_01: Hang on a second.
39:34
SPEAKER_01: My cell phone's ringing.
39:35
SPEAKER_01: All right.
39:36
SPEAKER_01: Hello.
39:39
SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm doing my show, right?
39:45
SPEAKER_01: How about, well, I'm kind of telling a story, but what do you want to hear?
39:50
SPEAKER_01: What do you want to hear?
39:55
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
39:56
SPEAKER_01: Well, why don't you tune into the show and listen and I'll play it right after this.
39:59
SPEAKER_01: How's that?
40:06
SPEAKER_01: Spreaker.com slash CMS rocks.
40:12
SPEAKER_01: Who is this?
40:13
SPEAKER_01: It's Kelly.
40:14
SPEAKER_03: What is she doing?
40:17
SPEAKER_02: Are you listening?
40:18
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
40:20
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
40:24
SPEAKER_02: I think that she might be drunk.
40:28
SPEAKER_02: Could be.
40:30
SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to say that.
40:31
SPEAKER_02: I don't know that.
40:32
SPEAKER_02: I'll say it.
40:33
SPEAKER_02: Hammered.
40:33
SPEAKER_02: I don't know that she is.
40:35
SPEAKER_02: I think she's hammered and missing her Wendell.
40:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
40:37
SPEAKER_02: Well, she's tuning in now.
40:38
SPEAKER_02: She's going to listen.
40:40
SPEAKER_01: Well, anyway, so the guy comes out with the money in this envelope, right?
40:46
SPEAKER_01: Right.
40:46
SPEAKER_01: Cash.
40:48
SPEAKER_01: And he hands it to Don.
40:49
SPEAKER_01: He goes, what are you giving this to
40:51
SPEAKER_02: me for?
40:51
SPEAKER_02: He says, fucking give it to him.
40:55
SPEAKER_02: Because he just had it at this point.
40:57
SPEAKER_02: He didn't want nothing to do with this fucking guy anymore.
40:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he was just, I just had it at this point.
41:01
SPEAKER_02: He goes, besides that, where's the hamburgers?
41:05
SPEAKER_02: It's been 40 minutes.
41:06
SPEAKER_02: Right.
41:07
SPEAKER_02: He goes, so the guy says, well, we ran out of hamburgers.
41:10
SPEAKER_02: We're like getting pizzas out.
41:13
SPEAKER_02: Pizzas?
41:14
SPEAKER_02: That's what he said.
41:14
SPEAKER_02: He said, we're out of hamburgers.
41:16
SPEAKER_02: He said, you made us sit out here for 40 minutes waiting on hamburgers you didn't have?
41:21
SPEAKER_02: Well, yeah, they ran out of hamburgers.
41:23
SPEAKER_02: And so, you know, we were getting pizzas for you guys.
41:26
SPEAKER_02: And he goes, we didn't order pizzas.
41:28
SPEAKER_02: If you didn't have hamburgers,
41:29
SPEAKER_02: why didn't you come out and say, hey, guys, we don't have hamburgers.
41:34
SPEAKER_02: But instead, you made us sit out here for 40 minutes waiting on something you didn't even have.
41:42
SPEAKER_03: Love it.
41:43
SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was just so backwards.
41:48
SPEAKER_02: Right.
41:49
SPEAKER_02: Unprofessional.
41:52
SPEAKER_02: You know, and we were having a good time earlier in the day.
41:56
SPEAKER_02: Right.
41:57
SPEAKER_01: But one thing led to another, and by the end of the night, it was just, let's get out of here.
42:02
SPEAKER_03: So you were happy to jump in the car and get the fuck out of there.
42:05
SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
42:07
SPEAKER_01: So anyway, we went back to the hotel.
42:09
SPEAKER_01: We were just like, is there anything open late?
42:12
SPEAKER_01: Could we go do something?
42:13
SPEAKER_01: Guys are just like, screw it.
42:15
SPEAKER_01: You know, I've lost my appetite now.
42:17
SPEAKER_01: We got to catch a plane in a couple hours anyway.
42:19
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, never mind.
42:21
SPEAKER_01: Right.
42:22
SPEAKER_01: Well, there was a McDonald's next door to the hotel.
42:25
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
42:26
SPEAKER_01: And it was open 24 hours.
42:28
SPEAKER_01: So Don and I and Teresa went to the McDonald's.
42:32
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
42:32
SPEAKER_01: And we sat in the McDonald's and we just sat there and Don and I talked about songs
42:37
SPEAKER_01: and music and this and that and just having a chill time.
42:43
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
42:45
SPEAKER_01: Well, I was with Don and the band pretty much the entire time.
42:51
SPEAKER_01: I wasn't anywhere out of sight of them aside from maybe going to get the money or whatever.
42:56
SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
42:59
SPEAKER_02: I get a note from Teresa and she says,
43:03
SPEAKER_02: oh my God, you have to check out the Facebook page for this JD Legends.
43:10
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
43:12
SPEAKER_02: So I went over there and checked it out and I'm reading some of the comments over there.
43:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
43:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
43:18
SPEAKER_01: So the first comment up there is from JD Legends concerts.
43:23
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
43:24
SPEAKER_01: And people apparently,
43:26
SPEAKER_01: the pussies that we have become in this country because Don swore
43:31
SPEAKER_01: on stage
43:34
SPEAKER_02: offended somebody and they were outraged.
43:37
SPEAKER_02: Shocked.
43:38
SPEAKER_02: They were shocked and outraged.
43:41
SPEAKER_02: So JD Legends posted an apology.
43:45
SPEAKER_02: We apologize for his actions.
43:48
SPEAKER_02: Oh my God.
43:49
SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, we have no control how the
43:52
SPEAKER_01: acts we book act, but it will be addressed.
43:55
SPEAKER_03: How they act?
43:56
SPEAKER_01: How they act.
43:58
SPEAKER_03: He said, fix my fucking sound and that's it?
44:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
44:03
SPEAKER_01: So some chick, she posts over there.
44:06
SPEAKER_01: Don Dockin always blames the sound guy for every show I've been to in the last two years.
44:14
SPEAKER_02: It's just he can't sing no more.
44:17
SPEAKER_02: Oh, good English.
44:18
SPEAKER_02: He can't sing no more.
44:19
SPEAKER_02: Can't sing it no more.
44:21
SPEAKER_02: But the band rocked.
44:23
SPEAKER_01: One of my favorite bands, but I won't go see them again.
44:29
SPEAKER_01: How sad.
44:30
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
44:34
SPEAKER_01: Hang on a minute.
44:35
SPEAKER_01: Teresa's texting me.
44:38
SPEAKER_01: She can corroborate some of this.
44:40
SPEAKER_03: All right.
44:40
SPEAKER_03: Bring her on.
44:43
SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
44:43
SPEAKER_01: Give us a call.
44:49
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
44:50
SPEAKER_02: So anyway, the sound was shit.
44:53
SPEAKER_02: I was there.
44:54
SPEAKER_02: It was feeding back.
44:55
SPEAKER_02: It was terrible.
44:56
SPEAKER_01: But she goes, yeah, Don always blames the sound guy.
44:59
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
45:00
SPEAKER_01: He should blame the sound guy.
45:02
SPEAKER_01: It was terrible.
45:03
SPEAKER_01: Right.
45:05
SPEAKER_01: Then another chick wrote, Trickster and Firehouse rocked as always.
45:09
SPEAKER_01: Super interaction with the crowd and they truly appreciate their fans.
45:13
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
45:15
SPEAKER_01: All right.
45:15
SPEAKER_01: Next guy, Matt.
45:17
SPEAKER_01: I really liked your venue.
45:18
SPEAKER_01: It was friendly and well organized.
45:21
SPEAKER_01: I came to see Doc and was understandably disappointed.
45:25
SPEAKER_01: Disappointed.
45:26
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
45:28
SPEAKER_02: Then the next guy, right, had a great time until Don Dockin decided to be disrespectful.
45:35
SPEAKER_02: Oh, thanks.
45:38
SPEAKER_02: Disrespectful.
45:40
SPEAKER_02: What a bunch of pussies.
45:42
SPEAKER_02: I know.
45:43
SPEAKER_02: When did rock fans become so... Pussified?
45:49
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they used to be about rebellion and, yeah, you know.
45:55
SPEAKER_03: Now he swore on stage and it hurt my feelings and stuff.
46:00
SPEAKER_03: I got some sand from the volleyball pit in my pussy, so I got to complain.
46:05
SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
46:06
SPEAKER_03: Fuck you.
46:06
SPEAKER_03: It's like, when did that happen?
46:10
SPEAKER_03: Every one of these people.
46:11
SPEAKER_03: You know what, though, dude?
46:12
SPEAKER_03: Honestly, and I'm just going to say it the way it is.
46:15
SPEAKER_03: Every one of these fucking 80s bands,
46:17
SPEAKER_03: every one of them,
46:18
SPEAKER_03: including Dokken,
46:20
SPEAKER_03: that has maintained, all of them have primarily maintained their female audience.
46:26
SPEAKER_03: Sure.
46:27
SPEAKER_03: And the guys have flaked off for the most part.
46:30
SPEAKER_03: I mean, not totally, but I would say 50% or more of the male audience has moved on.
46:36
SPEAKER_03: Right.
46:37
SPEAKER_03: But all of the 80s bands have kept all of the chicks because of the ballads.
46:40
SPEAKER_03: Right.
46:41
SPEAKER_03: Right?
46:42
SPEAKER_03: So now what you have is a bunch of fucking faggot chicks.
46:45
SPEAKER_03: Sure.
46:46
SPEAKER_03: And that's what you get is,
46:49
SPEAKER_03: he didn't play my favorite song and he didn't sing it the way I liked
46:52
SPEAKER_03: and he said something I didn't like and he didn't respect me for being at the show.
46:58
SPEAKER_03: Shut up, you whores.
46:59
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
47:00
SPEAKER_03: Shut the fuck up.
47:01
SPEAKER_03: Every one of you.
47:03
SPEAKER_03: All you chicks can stay away from any show I'm at because you ruin the experience,
47:06
SPEAKER_03: you fucking twats.
47:08
SPEAKER_03: Right.
47:08
SPEAKER_03: They all do.
47:10
SPEAKER_03: It's like, dude,
47:11
SPEAKER_03: it's amazing to me like a Bret Michaels will play a show
47:14
SPEAKER_03: and there'll be 75 comments,
47:16
SPEAKER_03: all chicks, you know, that says, Bret is so sweet and Bret is so great.
47:24
SPEAKER_03: Shut up.
47:26
SPEAKER_03: Brett's not great.
47:27
SPEAKER_03: He's a dickhead.
47:28
SPEAKER_03: And Don fucking bitching and moaning about a fucking show that sucked?
47:32
SPEAKER_03: Too fucking bad.
47:33
SPEAKER_03: Suck it up, cunt face.
47:36
SPEAKER_03: Now that's the Chris
47:37
SPEAKER_02: Akin I know.
47:39
SPEAKER_03: I hate fucking chicks at shows.
47:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
47:42
SPEAKER_03: Dude, is it me or is everything turning into a chick world?
47:46
SPEAKER_03: It is.
47:47
SPEAKER_03: Everything's turning into a chick world and everybody wants to fucking cater
47:51
SPEAKER_03: to these fucking twats.
47:52
SPEAKER_03: Fuck off.
47:53
SPEAKER_03: He said fuck once.
47:55
SPEAKER_03: Suck it up, you fucking whore.
47:57
SPEAKER_03: I guarantee you when your dude is fucking banging you in the ass as hard as he can,
48:01
SPEAKER_03: he says suck it, you fucking bitch, and gives you a good slap.
48:05
SPEAKER_03: So shut up, you bitch.
48:07
SPEAKER_03: You take worse in the bed.
48:09
SPEAKER_03: Cunts.
48:12
SPEAKER_02: Anyway, continue.
48:13
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
48:14
SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to text here.
48:17
SPEAKER_01: Uncontrolled noise.
48:23
SPEAKER_02: Who are you talking to now?
48:24
SPEAKER_02: Kelly.
48:25
SPEAKER_02: She wants to listen to the show, damn it.
48:28
SPEAKER_01: And she can't figure it out?
48:29
SPEAKER_01: No.
48:29
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what's going on.
48:30
SPEAKER_01: Don't even ask.
48:31
SPEAKER_01: I don't even want to get into trouble here.
48:34
SPEAKER_01: All right.
48:35
SPEAKER_01: Well, anyway, the next guy...
48:38
SPEAKER_01: Writes, it was a blast, had fun, other than Don Dawkins' actions.
48:45
SPEAKER_01: A great time.
48:47
SPEAKER_02: So Don didn't say anything else during the whole show?
48:50
SPEAKER_02: No.
48:51
SPEAKER_02: He just swore at the sound guy.
48:53
SPEAKER_02: Once?
48:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because the guy wouldn't get his sound right and kept having that feedback.
48:59
SPEAKER_03: And therefore, people will blame the band instead of the shit sound that they were hearing.
49:04
SPEAKER_03: I mean, that clip
49:06
SPEAKER_02: I sent you?
49:07
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
49:07
SPEAKER_02: Did you watch it?
49:10
SPEAKER_02: Could you see Don turn around and just go, fuck!
49:13
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and it was bad sound.
49:15
SPEAKER_02: It sounded like it was fucking recorded through a bag of mud.
49:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was terrible.
49:19
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it wasn't good.
49:20
SPEAKER_01: So, Andrew Jones writes, Firehouse and Trickster were great.
49:25
SPEAKER_01: Don Dokken, on the other hand, was
49:28
SPEAKER_02: an ass.
49:30
SPEAKER_02: Aww.
49:32
SPEAKER_03: Too bad.
49:33
SPEAKER_03: What's her name?
49:34
SPEAKER_03: Her name is Angie Jones.
49:36
SPEAKER_03: Angie, go fucking die in a fire, you fucking whore.
49:41
SPEAKER_03: Just fucking drink some gasoline and smoke a cigar, you fucking bitch.
49:47
SPEAKER_03: Burn your insides out, you fucking whore.
49:50
SPEAKER_03: No one cares about your fucking twat opinion.
49:53
SPEAKER_02: She goes, I took off when he told the crowd to shut the fuck up.
49:58
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's what he did.
49:59
SPEAKER_03: Now I'm telling you, shut the fuck up, you fucking Facebook powerhouse empowered cunt.
50:06
SPEAKER_03: Shut up!
50:07
SPEAKER_03: Right.
50:09

51:16
SPEAKER_02: Then Lori Michael says, very bad.
51:19
SPEAKER_02: Dokken was horrible.
51:21
SPEAKER_03: Horrible.
51:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
51:24
SPEAKER_03: It might have been horrible, but that's not the band's fault solely.
51:28
SPEAKER_03: No.
51:28
SPEAKER_03: No.
51:30
SPEAKER_03: If Dokken showed up and played like shit,
51:34
SPEAKER_03: played like shit, which I don't know that they did or didn't.
51:37
SPEAKER_03: I wasn't there.
51:37
SPEAKER_02: They played like they normally play.
51:39
SPEAKER_01: It's just that the feedback and John's amp and all that, it just wasn't right.
51:47
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but my point is if they played like shit through clear sound, it would still sound decent.
51:52
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, exactly.
51:53
SPEAKER_03: And if they play like great through bad sound, it'll sound like shit every time.
51:59
SPEAKER_03: Right.
52:00
SPEAKER_03: So clearly that whatever people are too fucking dumb to be a show.
52:05
SPEAKER_02: I know.
52:06
SPEAKER_02: Go to the movies, you bitches.
52:08
SPEAKER_02: Then Noah Dugan says, I know, right?
52:12
SPEAKER_02: Dokken was disrespectful.
52:15
SPEAKER_02: Right.
52:17
SPEAKER_02: And get this.
52:18
SPEAKER_02: This is what really capped it for me.
52:21
SPEAKER_02: Right.
52:22
SPEAKER_02: He punched my mom straight in the face and cussed at her too.
52:28
SPEAKER_02: So not only were Doc and Dicks on stage, Don punched his mom in the face and cussed at her.
52:35
SPEAKER_02: Amazing.
52:36
SPEAKER_03: I didn't see the police report.
52:37
SPEAKER_02: I didn't either.
52:40
SPEAKER_02: He punched his mom in the face.
52:42
SPEAKER_02: That's what he said.
52:44
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
52:44
SPEAKER_02: So the next guy chimes in, when did this happen?
52:48
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, of course.
52:49
SPEAKER_02: And this kid,
52:50
SPEAKER_02: he says,
52:51
SPEAKER_02: after the concert,
52:52
SPEAKER_02: my mom tried to get an autograph and then Doc and cussed her out,
52:56
SPEAKER_02: then punched her in the face, like straight in the face.
52:59
SPEAKER_03: All right, now let's hold up here.
53:03
SPEAKER_03: If you were at a show.
53:04
SPEAKER_03: Right.
53:05
SPEAKER_03: And you were with your mom and Doc had punched your mom in the face.
53:10
SPEAKER_03: What would you do?
53:11
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you would attack Don.
53:13
SPEAKER_03: You'd fucking be over the barrier.
53:15
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
53:16
SPEAKER_03: Every bit of security would have to stop you.
53:19
SPEAKER_03: So I'm going to assume that this is true for a second.
53:22
SPEAKER_03: I'm going to assume that Don did fucking punch this bitch in the face.
53:26
SPEAKER_03: This guy that was with his mom is the biggest pussy that ever lived.
53:30
SPEAKER_02: Right.
53:30
SPEAKER_03: Ever lived because he just stood there and watched his mom get punched in the face.
53:35
SPEAKER_03: Right.
53:36
SPEAKER_02: What a faggot.
53:37
SPEAKER_02: Then this chick chimes in, Lisa Parrott, she chimes in, who punched her?
53:43
SPEAKER_02: You should have knocked them out.
53:46
SPEAKER_02: I was in the restaurant with them and they were sitting behind me and
53:50
SPEAKER_02: the drummer was rude and had a rock star attitude.
53:54
SPEAKER_02: And those docket guys, they blow into town and just fuck it all up.
53:57
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
53:59
SPEAKER_02: Then this other kid chimes in, you're a pro wrestler, you didn't kick his ass?
54:06
SPEAKER_03: So this guy's a pro wrestler.
54:08
SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
54:09
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if the guy was just being a goofball or whatever.
54:12
SPEAKER_01: But then this chick chimes in, the girl who supposedly got punched.
54:19
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
54:20
SPEAKER_01: By the name of Brandy Dugan, D-U-G-A-N.
54:24
SPEAKER_01: Right.
54:25
SPEAKER_01: That's my son Noah.
54:26
SPEAKER_01: He loves wrestling, but he's not a wrestler.
54:29
SPEAKER_01: Oh.
54:30
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, read my comment I posted, and you will see what happened that
54:35
SPEAKER_02: last night.
54:36
SPEAKER_02: Don Dokken was a disrespectful prick,
54:40
SPEAKER_02: and I'm glad legends will never have Dokken back ever again.
54:44
SPEAKER_02: Fuck Don Dokken, that train wreck.
54:47
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
54:48
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
54:49
SPEAKER_03: It's a good thing Facebook gave her a voice.
54:52
SPEAKER_03: Right.
54:53
SPEAKER_03: Wow.
54:53
SPEAKER_03: The world now knows.
54:55
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
54:57
SPEAKER_02: He punched her in the face.
54:58
SPEAKER_03: Punched her in the face.
54:59
SPEAKER_03: TMZ would be
55:00
SPEAKER_02: on that shit.
55:01
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
55:02
SPEAKER_02: Come on.
55:03
SPEAKER_02: So then this Eric Smith guy chimes in and he said,
55:08
SPEAKER_02: is that why you were crying last night at the concert?
55:11
SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry he did that.
55:15
SPEAKER_02: He was an ass.
55:17
SPEAKER_02: I left early as well because Dokken was rude and they sucked
55:21
SPEAKER_02: and I wish I could get my money back.
55:24
SPEAKER_03: Paint Chippa in the chat room, Randy Blythe killed my mom.
55:31
SPEAKER_02: Then Eric Smith chimes in, you need to sue his ass.
55:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, man.
55:38
SPEAKER_02: And then this Brandy Dugan chimes in again.
55:42
SPEAKER_02: He threw my picture and said, fucking bitch.
55:46
SPEAKER_02: Then right after that, I ended up getting punched by some girl that I didn't even know.
55:51
SPEAKER_02: Fuck Teresa, man.
55:54
SPEAKER_02: And I heard him tell the crowd to shut the fuck up.
55:57
SPEAKER_02: And I bet he was on some drugs and tripping.
56:05
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
56:06
SPEAKER_02: Fuck Don Dockin, the train wreck from hell.
56:10
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
56:11
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, man.
56:12
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
56:14
SPEAKER_03: I know two weeks ago when I hung out with Dockin,
56:17
SPEAKER_03: that motherfucker had just line after line after line of coke
56:21
SPEAKER_03: and he was fucking doing meth and he was shooting heroin.
56:25
SPEAKER_03: He was doing it all, man.
56:29
SPEAKER_02: Yet I was there the entire time and I didn't see any of this.
56:33
SPEAKER_03: Stop lying for him, Neely.
56:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're right.
56:37
SPEAKER_01: I'm lying.
56:38
SPEAKER_03: Right there doing the meth with him, weren't you?
56:40
SPEAKER_03: I was.
56:44
SPEAKER_03: Just you and Don and a big blue bag of meth.
56:48
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
56:52
SPEAKER_03: What a fucking imagination.
56:55
SPEAKER_03: Fucking talk about a story growing on Facebook.
56:59
SPEAKER_03: Wow.
57:00
SPEAKER_03: Wow.
57:02
SPEAKER_03: What a bunch of fucking retards.
57:06
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's everything that was being said.
57:10
SPEAKER_02: So what did Don say about all this?
57:11
SPEAKER_02: Does he know of this?
57:15
SPEAKER_02: I don't know, to be honest with you.
57:17
SPEAKER_02: Teresa's with him tonight.
57:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
57:20
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, he probably knows.
57:26
SPEAKER_02: Next time we talk to him, I have to ask him.
57:28
SPEAKER_01: That's why I was kind of hoping maybe if she would call if he was within earshot,
57:33
SPEAKER_01: maybe get him on the phone or something.
57:35
SPEAKER_03: You can ask him about punching that lady in the face.
57:37
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
57:41
SPEAKER_03: Holy shit.
57:43
SPEAKER_03: You know, when I wasn't looking too, I saw John Levin out back shooting a guy.
57:47
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
57:47
SPEAKER_03: Did you see that too?
57:49
SPEAKER_03: I did.
57:49
SPEAKER_03: John just pulled a shotgun out of his guitar case and shot a man right in the fucking head.
57:56
SPEAKER_03: John Levin and Don.
57:59
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
57:59
SPEAKER_03: A bunch of criminals.
58:02
SPEAKER_03: Mick Brown, I know he carries a chainsaw with him so he can hack up chicks.
58:06
SPEAKER_03: Right.
58:09
SPEAKER_02: What the hell?
58:10
SPEAKER_02: I know.
58:11
SPEAKER_02: So when I read that, obviously I was just like, what?
58:14
SPEAKER_02: Where was I when all this was going on?
58:17
SPEAKER_03: Where were you the other 400 shows that you've seen and hung out with the band
58:21
SPEAKER_03: where none of this happened?
58:22
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
58:22
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
58:25
SPEAKER_03: None of it has ever happened at any show ever except this one.
58:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course.
58:30
SPEAKER_01: Of course,
58:31
SPEAKER_01: I don't see any lawsuit or any kind of,
58:33
SPEAKER_01: you know, police report or anything like that.
58:36
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, especially you don't see the club.
58:37
SPEAKER_03: I'm looking for damages or anything either, do you?
58:40
SPEAKER_03: Nope.
58:43
SPEAKER_03: Fucking idiots.
58:44
SPEAKER_03: I know.
58:45
SPEAKER_03: Facebook, man.
58:47
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, I got a voice.
58:49
SPEAKER_03: You can't get away with punching me in the face, Don Dockin.
58:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
58:54
SPEAKER_02: He threw my picture down and called me a fucking bitch and then he punched me in the face.
59:00
SPEAKER_02: Why do I think that she was acting like a fucking bitch?
59:03
SPEAKER_01: Well, again,
59:04
SPEAKER_01: I don't know where this happened because there was nobody around like that as far
59:08
SPEAKER_01: as I'm concerned or saw or anything.
59:11
SPEAKER_03: Considering two weeks ago,
59:12
SPEAKER_03: I watched just person after person after person after person come in
59:16
SPEAKER_03: and get autographs and take pictures and do everything that they wanted to the point
59:22
SPEAKER_03: that Mick was screaming at Don,
59:25
SPEAKER_03: we got to fucking go or we're going to miss our fucking planes.
59:29
SPEAKER_03: And Don wouldn't stop signing autographs.
59:32
SPEAKER_03: So somehow I don't think this is 100% accurate.
59:35
SPEAKER_03: Right.
59:37
SPEAKER_03: Maybe there's a little discrepancy.
59:39
SPEAKER_02: Maybe she remembers it slightly off.
59:41
SPEAKER_01: Well, apparently the reviewer who was at the show actually acknowledged the sound problems.
59:48
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
59:50
SPEAKER_01: This is just the review from...
59:52
SPEAKER_01: They reviewed Firehouse and Trickster.
59:55
SPEAKER_01: It says,
59:56
SPEAKER_01: unfortunately,
59:57
SPEAKER_01: a rushed schedule and technical difficulties reared its head multiple times
1:00:03
SPEAKER_01: during dock and set affecting the sound.
1:00:06
SPEAKER_01: Banned delivery.
1:00:10
SPEAKER_02: They coped,
1:00:11
SPEAKER_02: performing through the various issues,
1:00:13
SPEAKER_02: apologizing several times as the show must go on.
1:00:17
SPEAKER_02: Though they stopped mid-tune on tooth and nail encore for equipment problems,
1:00:22
SPEAKER_02: they played many of their catalog hits and staples.
1:00:26
SPEAKER_02: Before punching a lady in the face.
1:00:28
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
1:00:32
SPEAKER_03: There you go.
1:00:33
SPEAKER_03: Holy smokes.
1:00:36
SPEAKER_03: What?
1:00:38
SPEAKER_03: Paint Chippa, Rob Halford raped my retarded uncle.
1:00:41
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
1:00:44
SPEAKER_02: Holy shit.
1:00:45
SPEAKER_01: So this reviewer apparently had a very honest view of the show.
1:00:52
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:00:54
SPEAKER_01: So that was his review.
1:00:57
SPEAKER_03: I see.
1:00:58
SPEAKER_02: Too funny, man.
1:00:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:01:00
SPEAKER_02: So in this bumfuck town south
1:01:04
SPEAKER_01: of Dayton, this is all the mayhem that ensued.
1:01:10
SPEAKER_03: So will you go back to the next Dayton gig?
1:01:13
SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't think Don will ever play there again, regardless if they'd have him back or not.
1:01:17
SPEAKER_01: Because after the debacle, mm-mm.
1:01:20
SPEAKER_03: So is Dayton now off the docket now?
1:01:22
SPEAKER_02: Well, not Dayton as
1:01:24
SPEAKER_02: a city, but that particular venue.
1:01:26
SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, of course.
1:01:27
SPEAKER_03: I can't imagine him going back there.
1:01:30
SPEAKER_03: Maybe just if he needs to beat a woman.
1:01:34
SPEAKER_03: If he has the urge to beat a woman, he'll go back to Dayton.
1:01:37
SPEAKER_03: Sure.
1:01:37
SPEAKER_03: Beat that guy's mom again.
1:01:39
SPEAKER_03: Right, exactly.
1:01:41
SPEAKER_03: But other than that, there's no reason for him to go back.
1:01:43
SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
1:01:44
SPEAKER_03: Throw her picture, beat her up.
1:01:47
SPEAKER_03: You know, maybe Mick can go back and be an asshole in the next restaurant.
1:01:50
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
1:01:52
SPEAKER_02: Just unbelievable.
1:01:54
SPEAKER_02: I love it.
1:01:56
SPEAKER_02: But yet, I was there the entire time and I saw none of this.
1:02:00
SPEAKER_02: Stop lying for your band.
1:02:02
SPEAKER_02: I am.
1:02:03
SPEAKER_02: I'm lying about it.
1:02:04
SPEAKER_03: Stop it, you untruthful bastard.
1:02:09
SPEAKER_02: But as people who don't
1:02:13
SPEAKER_01: have that opportunity to see the nonsense that goes on
1:02:17
SPEAKER_01: behind the scenes, that's just a...
1:02:20
SPEAKER_01: You know, that stuff happens.
1:02:23
SPEAKER_03: You know,
1:02:24
SPEAKER_03: I got a report that you were holding that lady's arms so that she couldn't get away
1:02:27
SPEAKER_03: so Don could get a good clean shot at her face.
1:02:30
SPEAKER_03: The report I got was that you were holding her back.
1:02:33
SPEAKER_03: Truth or no?
1:02:34
SPEAKER_01: True.
1:02:37
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:02:38
SPEAKER_01: I told him to make sure and knee her in the belly so that there's no way in
1:02:42
SPEAKER_01: the world she could bring in another offspring.
1:02:45
SPEAKER_03: I also heard that you jumped off the stage and crowned somebody with
1:02:48
SPEAKER_03: a fucking Jack Daniels button.
1:02:50
SPEAKER_01: That's another band.
1:02:51
SPEAKER_01: That I did as well.
1:02:52
SPEAKER_03: That's another band.
1:02:59
SPEAKER_03: Holy smokes.
1:03:01
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
1:03:02
SPEAKER_02: So that was my weekend with Rockin' with Dockin'.
1:03:04
SPEAKER_02: Sounds like you had a lot more fucking going on than we did.
1:03:07
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, man.
1:03:09
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, man.
1:03:10
SPEAKER_01: Too funny.
1:03:12
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:03:12
SPEAKER_01: Well, I need a drink.
1:03:14
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:03:14
SPEAKER_01: So I get out of this docking segment here.
1:03:18
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:03:18
SPEAKER_01: Got a docking tune.
1:03:21
SPEAKER_03: Do they have any songs about punching women in the face?
1:03:30
SPEAKER_03: How about, you know what?
1:03:32
SPEAKER_03: How about just Lost Behind the Wall?
1:03:35
SPEAKER_03: Just because I like that song.
1:03:36
SPEAKER_01: I do too.
1:03:36
SPEAKER_01: I like that song a lot.
1:03:38
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:03:38
SPEAKER_01: Well, we're going to take a short break.
1:03:40
SPEAKER_01: Everybody go get a drink.
1:03:41
SPEAKER_01: We're going to get into other stuff here.
1:03:44
SPEAKER_01: I think we'll probably get into some of that audio that you sent over.
1:03:47
SPEAKER_03: All right.
1:03:48
SPEAKER_03: Sounds good.
1:03:48
SPEAKER_01: Actually,
1:03:48
SPEAKER_01: I got a couple audio clips along with the one you sent over,
1:03:51
SPEAKER_01: which I didn't listen to because I want to be just as shocked and offended
1:03:58
SPEAKER_01: and outraged.
1:03:59
SPEAKER_03: Well, please,
1:04:00
SPEAKER_03: please start with the one that I brought you because it is,
1:04:03
SPEAKER_03: I don't even know how to describe it.
1:04:06
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
1:04:06
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
1:04:08
SPEAKER_03: It's just something.
1:04:10
SPEAKER_03: It's something, all right.
1:04:12
SPEAKER_03: It's a friend, and that makes it even more sad.
1:04:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it makes it sad.
1:04:17
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:04:18
SPEAKER_01: I didn't listen to it.
1:04:19
SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to.
1:04:20
SPEAKER_01: I want, you know, initial reaction.
