Excited to have you here, Dave. I actually bought your album and

1:28
Nice fucking good song, brother love.
1:30
Exactly. Sound I I really like your sound
1:32
a lot. That's right up my style as far
1:34
as what I like to play lead around, just that kind of vibe
1:38
as far as the rhythm goes. And I like that Southern rock
1:42
slash country slash rocks, you know, just right, taking every
1:46
style and throwing it in in a melting pot.

2:37
tours. And we're looking forward to
2:39
that. We're kind of trying to get some
2:41
new music out and re re record some of the old stuff because
2:46
it's tied up with with some other publishing stuff and and
2:50
we want to kind of be free of all that.
2:51
And so there will be an album coming out again here real like
2:55
in the next year sometime. But right now we're just kind of
2:58

4:28
We'll come see you. For sure.
4:29
I mean, this is my, this is my. We have a band or a musician on
4:32
shirts. See, I got vinyl because nice.
4:35
You got to go old school, right? Excellent.
4:38
I'm wearing Ned Ladue. Man, Oh, there you go.
4:42
There you go. That's awesome.
4:45
Yeah, he's cool. He's a cool dude.
4:47
So how long, how long you been been making music man?
4:51
Oh, let's see, 2526 years, something like that.
4:57
You know, I'm as far as like from when I was learning how to
5:01
play guitar and, and learning how to write songs and all that
5:04
kind of stuff and joining a band.
5:07
And that was like right around the Millennium, the Millennium
5:12
change. So yeah, gosh, I guess that.
5:15
'D be changed everything, man. 2025 years.
5:18
Holy holy hell. 25 years, yeah. Son of a bitch I'm getting old,
5:22
man. Yeah, we feel your pain,
5:25
brother. We.
5:26
Feel your pain. Yeah, that was cool.
5:30
It was pretty cool getting into that first band and being being
5:34
able to go out and play like the Millennium New Year's Eve show,
5:38
that was pretty awesome. Everybody was still a little
5:40
afraid of Y2K, you know? And the computer's crashing, and
5:43
at midnight the show was going to shut down because
5:46
everything's going to fall off the face of the planet, right?
5:51
But we just kept on rocking, you know, there.
5:54
You go now. Is it just you doing solo stuff?
5:57
Because I noticed on YouTube it's Dave Noodle than Dave
5:59
Noodle Band. Right.
6:00
Yeah, well, you. Got 2 separate things.
6:03
Dave Nudo Band is what it started out with and when when I
6:08
made my first record called County Line and we didn't have.
6:12
That's the one I just bought. Yeah, And thank you.
6:14
By the way, we didn't have a name.
6:16
You're welcome. Thank you.
6:18
We didn't have a name. Is.
6:19
That the wife is that the wife is that the wife.
6:21
Get the wife in the picture. Man.
6:23
OK, I'll get her in the picture when she comes back.
6:26
Yeah. Come on, man.
6:27
So, you know, so. So yeah, it we didn't have a
6:31
name when we went and recorded that album for the band.
6:34
It was just me and my songs and a couple of friends that that
6:37
were helping me put the tracks down.
6:40
And and the producer was like, well, what's the name of the
6:44
band? Because he wanted to save the
6:45
first song that we recorded. And I'm like, I don't have a
6:49
name for the band. And, and Herb, the guitar
6:52
players like Dave Noodle band. I'm like, OK, that'll work that
6:57
way, you know, because I write all these songs all these years
6:59
and join other bands with these songs and I feel like I got to
7:02
leave them on the on the shelf as soon as that band breaks up.
7:05
And, well, if I don't name it some band name and, and take
7:09
complete charge of, of where the direction goes, the band doesn't
7:12
break up unless I just quit, you know, and I can keep moving
7:15
forward with all of the momentum that I build over the years.
7:18
So I thought that was a pretty, pretty good move going from a
7:22
band band name kind of a thing to just, you know, my name.
7:28
Yeah. So that's how that went about
7:30
anyway. So we've been moving more
7:32
towards just cutting off band and calling it Dave Nudo, you
7:35
know, cuz it's not Luke Combs band, it's not Chris Stapleton
7:39
band. It's the artist and the
7:42
songwriter. And then they got their their
7:44
guys to back them up and, and sometimes you know who they are
7:47
and sometimes you don't. We've always been kind of pretty
7:51
good about making sure everybody knows who's in the band.
7:54
But once again, if, if the guitar player quits or the
7:58
drummer changes or whatever, that no, nothing gets disrupted,
8:05
disrupted this way. So and I like it.
8:08
So you're the primary songwriter in the band?
8:10
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've, I've Co write with a few
8:14
people, but I haven't really Co written with anybody in the
8:16
band. That might change in the future.
8:19
We're we're working on some, some ideas and stuff like that.
8:22
And, but, and there's always been a collaboration as far as
8:25
how the show goes. But so to answer your original
8:29
question, yeah, I do a lot of solo shows.
8:31
It's, it's a great way to get my face and my brand out there
8:35
without having to try to afford all the guys and, and pay
8:40
everybody and, and that kind of stuff.
8:42
And I can pay my bills pretty good that way, doing solo shows
8:46
in smaller venues and, and, and some bigger venues.
8:49
I'll open for guys coming into town sometimes at the like the
8:55
Knitting Factory or whatever. In fact, I opened up for Ned
8:57
Ledoux there. Thank you.
8:58
These guys wanted to say hi to you.
9:00
They won't be able to hear. You won't be able to hear them,
9:02
but you can wave. This is my lovely bride.
9:04
Her name is Celeste. That's Chris and Mike.
9:09
Nice and last. Nice and last.
9:10
That was quick, man. She moved in and out.
9:13
Short and sweet. Well, she didn't have
9:15
headphones. Woo.
9:19
My wife, my wife just comes in the house and then goes away.
9:22
It's like. We get them out same amount of
9:25
time every. Every now and then she'll come
9:27
pop, pop her head up right here and that's about it.
9:30
It's like. Alright, thanks.
9:31
In and out. Right on.
9:34
Yeah, exactly. That's what she said.
9:40
You're welcome. Yeah, No.
9:46
Well, go ahead, Mike. I got a musician here.
9:47
Fire away, man. Fire away.
9:51
Well, that's the reason I wanted to know why you or not, why I
9:56
wanted to know if you were the primary songwriter, because
9:58
Chris and I would come at it from a completely different
10:00
perspective. For 30 years, on and off, he's
10:04
been my lyricist and I've been his musician, so.
10:07
Oh cool. You know, we, we count on each
10:09
other because he doesn't play an instrument and I don't write
10:12
lyrics. Oh, right.
10:14
A lot of people would find it fascinating that I don't have a
10:16
lot to say, but I've never been able to.
10:21
I've never been able to put it into format.
10:23
So what would you describe your process as far as sitting down
10:29
and writing a song? Do you have a process or does it
10:32
change for each individual song? Do you write the music first
10:35
sometimes, the lyric first sometimes or?
10:38
Yeah, about it. Yeah, that.
10:40
I mean, it does. It varies with the song.
10:42
A lot of times this is the way it goes.
10:44
I'll be sitting there with this idea in my hell here of praise,
10:48
right? And, and there will be a melody
10:51
with it. And if there ain't one, I'll
10:53
have one in moments and then just kind of go from there.
10:56
Sometimes I start with a a really great chorus idea.
10:59
I've got this whole piece that I would consider a chorus of a
11:02
song. And then now I got.
11:04
Now I got to figure out how not to mess that thing up with a
11:06
bunch of too wordy averses and that.
11:09
Kind of stuff. So I say the same thing.
11:11
How do we not practice? That's exactly right.
11:14
Yeah. So and and then the other way it
11:16
a lot of times I'll just sit down with some idea come to my
11:20
mind and I write it down and then or use my phone anymore,
11:24
but but get that line down and then just, well, what's the next
11:27
line? And it starts at the beginning
11:29
and I write it till the end of the song and and then I've got a
11:33
melody in my mind, probably with everything on there.
11:36
And then I got to figure out, you know, what chords on the
11:38
guitar to play with it so I can sing it and accompany myself and
11:42
give the guys a demo and that sort of thing.
11:46
Other times I'm just, I got this cool little thing I'm strumming
11:50
along and you know, a line pops into my head while I'm doing
11:54
that and, and so I move forward that way.
11:56
It, it really does vary. But mostly, I'd say just coming
12:00
up with words that I wanted to elaborate on, you know?
12:05
I guess that was my question without I didn't form formulate
12:08
the question very good. Would you consider yourself a
12:11
lyricist first or a musician first?
12:14
Probably a lyricist, I'd say. I mean.
12:19
I think he would tell you, I think he would tell you that we
12:24
have the similar approach in that he brings me a melody
12:27
sometimes and there's other times I will be playing
12:30
something that inspires him to either think of something he
12:33
wrote before or write something new.
12:35
So I guess I was hearing that you consider yourself a lyricist
12:40
first. That was my.
12:41
I would question, I would say first, I'm a lyricist, but I'm
12:44
also a musician and I've, I've, you know, sat in my little dinky
12:48
studio and and created all, you know, the whole song, of course,
12:53
have to use a drum machine. I am not a drummer.
12:57
I can't, I can do this. But if I have my feet into it,
13:01
it's gone. Me either.
13:04
I'm gonna hold a beat for about 20 seconds before it all goes
13:07
sideways. I suppose if.
13:09
I We all have that in common, I think.
13:11
Right. Good.
13:13
I'm in good company. See, MM and I have yeah, Mike
13:16
and I have unique, the unique, I don't know if it's ability, but
13:20
but I can write. I can write a set of lyrics like
13:22
I wrote one of the last songs and I use my phone too.
13:24
Now that's the beautiful thing about Notes on on an Apple
13:27
phone. Tell your phone price.
13:29
You can or you can just send it right exactly.
13:32
So then so I can send him a song of just the lyrics and he can he
13:36
can tell right away what I was thinking from an emotional
13:39
standpoint, if it needs to be hard driven, angry, or if it's,
13:42
you know, if it's, I don't really write, you know, happy.
13:45
Hey, hey, hey, I write about life and shit.
13:47
So you know, there are there are there are happy things in life.
13:50
But that's the cool thing about our relationship is I can just
13:53
give him a song and then and I'll come back the next day
13:56
after, you know, one practice here, check this out and come
13:59
back the next day. And he's so check it out, check
14:01
out this riff. And I'm like, holy shit, that
14:03
matches it perfectly. So it's that kind of a cool
14:05
thing that's like both our left brains just merge into one.
14:10
And it just works not to. Interrupt you.
14:13
But the crazy thing about that, Dave, is I never considered that
14:16
a gift until he put it into words.
14:19
It's like how many people can just look at a sheet of paper
14:23
and then say, OK, this is what I think he's feeling musically,
14:26
right? This is the message he wants to
14:28
convey. I guess it is a pretty
14:30
fascinating gift because he could have been thinking, hey, I
14:33
wanted that to be like a melodic, beautiful, romantic.
14:37
What? However, you want to describe it
14:39
in words and you turned it into hellscape, right?
14:46
Yeah, you're absolutely right. That's a hell of a gift, really.
14:49
I mean, and just being able to read words and and figure out
14:53
what kind of a mood that's, I mean, sometimes you can get it
14:56
because of the way that the words are formed.
14:58
I mean, you're talking about sad shit.
14:59
It's a sad song. So but being able to convey that
15:03
musically is really where the gift is in my opinion.
15:06
And I'm not even sure I've got that gift.
15:07
Sometimes I get it right. But but, but you know, guys like
15:10
you, that's a really impressive, impressive deal.
15:16
The song I heard from you, you definitely know how to convey
15:19
emotion because I was feeling everything you were trying to
15:22
get across, just even on that little speaker through a
15:25
microphone, through my. Headphones I get.
15:27
It man, and that's that's a gift.
15:30
So if you want to know if you're being successful in that
15:33
department, I would say resoundingly, yes.
15:35
Oh well, thank you very much, Wilson.
15:38
Some of those tracks were were done by other people, so I may
15:41
not have had my hands in in making the real mood of the
15:44
music come alive with the lyrics, you know what I mean?
15:47
But. But you, right.
15:48
But you, you still wrote this song, which is right here.
15:53
And you still, you know, you still perform it.
15:56
Oh yeah. Go man, fucking hey brother.
16:02
The Lord or the. I'm telling you dude, this is
16:04
the first. This is the first one.
16:06
This is the first one I downloaded from you man.
16:08
I dig it. Everybody's looking for
16:11
something good for something bad, even though they shoot a
16:16
little bit of heaven right here on earth, a little hell.
16:19
If that's what works, you can look in your Sunday hymns.
16:26
I ride it on the back of the road or call my old.
16:31
Hell yeah. Yeah, right.
16:33
Lyrically dude, that's a bad ass man.
16:37
Thank you. Yeah, That whole song idea came
16:41
to me at like 3:00 in the morning one night when I was up
16:45
still. Probably should have been in
16:47
bed. That was a great.
16:50
The idea behind that song was like who you're like, what
16:54
everybody's got, they're following something, you know,
16:56
you're either reading a magazine or following little memes on
16:59
Facebook, learning how to live your life based off of what
17:02
other people kind of push your direction off TV commercials and
17:05
that shit. Everybody needs some kind of
17:07
pill to make them skinnier, to make them, you know, eat some
17:10
kind of whatever to, to bulk up, you know, and, or mental health
17:15
and all that stuff. So everybody needs some pill to
17:19
swallow, right, and some path to follow.
17:22
And so I, I just thought it was kind of a, it's more of a
17:24
concept song than anything. But yeah, that that kind of made
17:28
a lot of sense. So I tried to not mess up that
17:30
chorus with any crappy verses. Now it's like, dude, I've
17:35
listened, I probably listened to it 5 or 6 times before Mike came
17:37
on and it was, it was in the middle of it when Mike came on.
17:40
Because that's the thing with me, like I'm because I'm a
17:42
vocalist and a lyricist first and foremost.
17:44
The first thing I attach myself to, I look at the song name,
17:47
right? So I was looking at, I was
17:49
looking at all your singles. I'm like, I wonder which one is
17:51
going to kind of catch me because our conversation
17:54
yesterday was like, OK, I'm excited to, you know, to pull up
17:56
some music from him. And just the name of the song is
18:00
what drew me to it. It went on me to right so.
18:03
That one right away, too. Yeah.
18:04
So then when I listen, I was happy when I listened to it
18:06
because you just, you never know.
18:08
I mean, there's, there's and you can probably, I mean, Mike and I
18:12
can agree. We, we're all musicians.
18:13
So we agree to this. You can put 12 songs out, right?
18:15
And and and you all think they're badass, but in the in
18:17
the in the real world, you're going to have maybe four or five
18:20
that stand out if you're lucky, Right, Right.
18:22
Because you have to breakthrough all the barriers with the
18:25
people, which is why so many artists now are just singles
18:28
after singles after singles, because you just, you're trying
18:30
to get that niche and then, you know, yeah, you know, get your
18:33
million views to make your $10,000 Woo, you know.
18:36
But it's, it's I so my, my first thing how you open my door and
18:41
my brain is, is the song title and then the lyrics.
18:44
So as soon as, like I said, I saw the song title, I listen to
18:47
it and I was like, fuck, that's good, man.
18:48
So I listen to it again and again and again.
18:50
And it's just, it's cool. It's got a catch.
18:52
It's got a hook. It, it's, it's, it's, it's not
18:55
super heavy, but it's not super country twangy, you know?
18:59
So it's, I dug it, man. It's kind of like we talked
19:01
about yesterday. It's kind of the middle of the
19:02
road. You can kind of, I could hear
19:04
that. I could hear that play it on a
19:06
multiple of of different stations because of of how you
19:10
created it and produced it. It's not just stuck in a box.
19:13
How perfectly would that song fit in a movie?
19:16
Yeah. Oh, I think.
19:18
So, you know, just a scene where a guy's, like, blazing down a
19:21
desert highway or something, running away from whatever he's
19:26
running. I mean, I can see it in my head.
19:27
And here's what I'm listening to when I hear something for the
19:30
first time. Chris is listening to the
19:32
lyrics, the phrasing, your melody I'm listening to.
19:36
Did you choose the right tempo? How does the chord structure fit
19:41
with the message you're trying to get across that opening?
19:44
Dave is out. I get, I'm I, I got goosebumps
19:47
thinking about the way that song started.
19:50
You couldn't have picked a more perfect opening to start to
19:54
convey that message, in my opinion.
19:56
Those are the things I'm listening for.
19:58
Where did you record that at? They deserve some kudos too.
20:01
Yeah, those sounds amazing. So, so I I was hooked up with
20:04
the producer. His name was Chaz Childers.
20:08
He's since passed, but but Eminent music Group and and it
20:13
was an independent label and and he had access to, you know,
20:17
Nashville's and it was a requirement to use if you're
20:21
going to put music out through them.
20:23
The session players from, you know, union session players.
20:27
So and I'm not sure about the politics behind that, but what I
20:30
do know is you come back and they've got excellent tracks and
20:34
they're really good about doing the things that we were just
20:36
talking about. And so anything that says Dave
20:41
Nudo as the artist was done that way.
20:46
Anything that was done as Debuto Band was with me and my friends
20:52
that I know locally. So, but but anyway, yeah, so
20:56
those guys, they have got it down on lock.
20:58
You can walk into a room. I walked into a room with a guy
21:01
named John Connelly, Bobby Terry, Mike Real Haas, and Dave
21:07
Francis and Kenny Royster at the helm, the producer, and I'm
21:12
drawing a blank on the drummer's name, but I showed them my
21:15
little demo with my little acoustic guitar and some
21:18
three-part harmony multitracked, you know, all done by me.
21:21
And it's this boring little version of the song.
21:24
And in 5 minutes we're done listening to my version done
21:30
talking about the direction of the song and we're in isolation
21:34
booths. And in 10 minutes after that,
21:39
the meat and potatoes of the song is done with the, the
21:42
intro, you know, all that we have left is some like extra
21:46
keyboard parts or extra guitar lick, you know, solos and that
21:50
kind of stuff. And then I would go back and do
21:52
the vocals. But in 10 minutes, those guys
21:55
had the meat and potatoes done. And in one hour this song is
21:58
complete. All that's left is me to do my
22:00
vocals on it And, and for, for the guy to, you know, produce
22:06
the song and mix it and master it and all that stuff.
22:09
It's incredible. It was, it was like, why haven't
22:11
we been doing it like this all the time instead of spending all
22:14
day working on one guitar track, you know, incredible.
22:19
Well, you recorded in Nashville as well, Chris.
22:22
Did you have the same kind of experience?
22:24
We we didn't have when we do our Nashville recording, we didn't
22:27
have studio musicians. We had our own stuff.
22:29
Well, I'm just talking like the studio experience.
22:31
The studio is, yeah, professionalism.
22:33
The first one we did, we're at Dolly Parton Studio Gravity, and
22:38
that was cool because the there's a hallway between the
22:41
sound booth and then where the band plays records live and then
22:45
the vocal booth. So as you're walking down that
22:47
hallway, the wall is filled both sides with artists who've been
22:51
there and signed it and dated it.
22:52
So obviously did that Dolly Parton was in the building.
22:56
We heard her. We didn't actually go see her or
22:58
anything, but that was kind of cool.
22:59
The second one we were and the, the cool story about that is, is
23:03
Tony Migliori was the producer and he plays piano on Bye Bye,
23:06
Miss American Pie. But we went in the band set up
23:10
everything they started. He said, oh, we're going to
23:13
record just kind of get some levels of stuff.
23:15
Well, 12 hours later, we we laid out 12.
23:17
We laid out four songs. And by the beginning of the
23:22
fourth song, we only had a break for lunch.
23:25
It was like an hour. So the beginning of the fourth
23:26
song, he's like, all right, once you wrap this up, we're done
23:28
with these four songs and we're all kind of like, what?
23:30
And he's like, I've been recording this whole thing.
23:32
So he recorded those four songs completely live.
23:34
So I, I sang legitimately, you know, 12 hours for the most part
23:39
that day, which was just insanity.
23:43
And I was in vocal shape to do it, but I didn't, I, we didn't
23:45
go in. That was a cool thing about him.
23:46
We wouldn't go in thinking we're going to bust out four songs
23:50
today. It, it really was just kind of a
23:53
weird little dynamic because we've never been in, in
23:55
Nashville, never been in that kind of studio.
23:57
This was the last band I was in and so it was unique in that
24:02
fact effect. And the second one we're at was
24:04
in Brentwood, Brentwood, Brentwood, TN with it was, I
24:10
want to say George Strait and Alan Jackson's studio or, or
24:14
something to that effect. I forget.
24:17
The Chelsea, Chelsea Music group was in in Brentwood, TN.
24:20
So that was kind of cool. We had really good interaction
24:24
with with the the engineers, sound engineers and stuff.
24:27
They were skipping. Oh shit, Stacey, I think her
24:31
name was super nice, super nice couple.
24:34
They had me write a couple different lyrics and they
24:37
recorded them trying to sell them out, you know, to other
24:42
people and other bands stuff, you know, that never came of it,
24:44
but it's still cool to have the opportunity.
24:45
So it is kind of cool to kind of walk into this really, you know,
24:48
intrinsic. I know that's, that's not the
24:51
right word, but this really, I don't know, the vibe is there
24:53
and it's and everybody that, especially Dolly studio, right,
24:56
Everybody that walk through that studio and everybody that
24:58
recorded there and you can just kind of feel that aura and it's
25:01
just, you know, it's not, it's, you know what I mean?
25:04
It's kind of dark lit, but it's, it's light enough, but it's dark
25:06
enough and it has an atmosphere. And I'm at the end of the I'm at
25:10
the end in my vocal booth and the band's there and then Tony's
25:13
all the way down to the hallway. But it was it's, it's just
25:16
blended. It was kind of cool.
25:17
It's like even though you were separated by glass, you were
25:19
still, you still have the energy and vibe that you needed, you
25:22
know, to feed off each other to create tracks and stuff.
25:25
And even though, and there's a funny story, we have a song
25:28
called the empty man that they kept fucking up this part.
25:31
I hold that a high note for for a period of time.
25:35
And every time they went to that transition, they would they
25:37
somebody would fuck it up the guitar fucking up, they
25:39
whatever. And so I, I burned the
25:42
microphone at the beginning of the next take.
25:43
I'm like, stop fucking around and get it right, man.
25:47
That made it that made it through the entire editing
25:50
process, like the whole way. So we're doing a radio, we're
25:55
doing a radio interview and the guys we're talking and the guys
25:58
like, OK, what, what do you have for us today?
26:00
Well, we're going to have we're going to play empty man.
26:01
This is what it's about. And they hit the button, man,
26:04
and there's a little bit of silence and you all, you hear
26:06
dead silence in the studio. Stop fucking around and get it
26:08
right, man. And I laugh and everybody, all
26:12
the all the radio person are like.
26:14
Watch. But they by the time they
26:15
watered it, the music started so they couldn't stop it.
26:19
So yeah, so and I totally forgot that was there and I forgot to
26:23
say, hey, buffer the 1st 10 seconds because I dropped the F
26:25
bomb, you know? Well, something you just said,
26:28
Chris, I've built 2 recording studios.
26:30
Dave and I butted heads with one of the guys that I was working
26:33
with because he was very analytical, right?
26:37
He understood that you had to have the right gear, the right
26:39
cabling, blah, blah, blah, right?
26:41
Everything hardware wise and software wise had to be just so.
26:47
But he didn't understand that you had to create a vibe, right?
26:51
You can't. You can't ask a bunch of
26:53
musicians to come in an office complex with fluorescent
26:56
lighting and feel inspired, no. How important is it when you go
27:00
in a studio to feel comfortable and create?
27:03
What does it take for you to feel creative?
27:06
Certainly not fluorescent lighting.
27:08
I can tell you that right now. Thank you.
27:11
Yeah, I like. And ice, kind of a dim sort of,
27:15
you know, I don't know that warm lighting.
27:20
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
27:22
Yeah, Moody, it's got and see, Chelsea didn't have that.
27:24
Chelsea was straight up like Mike just said.
27:26
Chelsea was like in an office complex.
27:28
You go into the you go into round to the back and you go in
27:31
and it's legit. It was just an office complex
27:33
built out like a studio, the recording studio.
27:35
So it it didn't have the same vibe as as Gravity, which would
27:38
again, this doggy parking spot totally didn't have the same
27:41
vibe as that. I surely don't want concrete
27:42
floors. No concrete floors, No.
27:45
I wanna see some throw rugs all over.
27:47
Maybe tapestries on the wall. Dim lighting, nothing bright.
27:52
Yeah. Yep, yeah, You know, especially
27:55
if you spent the night before drinking, right?
28:01
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
28:03
A vibe. It's got to be there.
28:05
Yeah, it's got to have a vibe, man.
28:07
That just caught my ear when you said that about the first studio
28:10
you were in, that it had a good vibe to it.
28:12
Dave said the same thing about the studio he was in.
28:14
You know, the the feel was right and now you can hear what that
28:19
does in the song that we heard from you in that you were able
28:23
to not only get your emotion and your message across, the sound
28:27
is just outstanding. That's why I wanted to give
28:30
kudos to the studio because oh man, they can also wreck an
28:34
excellent song. You wrote a great song.
28:36
They could have ruined it by making it sound thin or sure,
28:40
whatever. You know, just the sound could
28:42
have ruined the brilliance of the song.
28:45
Yeah, it has a very fat sound for sure.
28:47
You you fill the space like there's you're not wanting for
28:50
anything in that track at all. And I had, and I haven't
28:52
listened to the rescue stuff yet.
28:53
I will. But that's the first one that I
28:55
did and it just kind of it caught me.
28:57
Yeah, so right. But I have I have I have your
29:00
county line 1. I just haven't.
29:01
I haven't unboxed that yet, if you will you.
29:04
Know, but cool. I'm gonna Dave, and I'll report
29:06
back then. All right, yeah.
29:08
County line was recorded around in a town called Emmett ID.
29:13
So, OK, it's the production's not the same, you know, but I
29:19
thought it was pretty good for what we had at the time.
29:22
And I was, I was proud of it at the time.
29:25
I didn't look at it. And I mean, some of those songs
29:27
are songs that I probably will never play live, but but some of
29:32
them are. And and yeah, I I always kind of
29:36
felt weird about going to Nashville and playing with these
29:39
session players. Yeah.
29:42
But the guys that recorded on on say the song called So far So
29:46
good Live in it, which I'm pretty proud of that song.
29:49
Live in it and lean into me does all right for me too.
29:52
I like that one, those 3 songs. The guys that recorded on there
29:56
have recorded on Luke Combs albums and a bunch of other top
30:00
names, you know? And the mean guitar player was
30:03
the the touring guitar player for Kenny Chesney at the time,
30:07
at least I'm not sure what he's doing these days.
30:09
But so they, yeah, they go off tour and come in and do all that
30:12
work right there like that. I kind of felt a little cheesy
30:15
about that, not bringing my own band, but I had an opportunity
30:19
to open up for a guy named Colt Ford.
30:20
I'm not sure if you know who he is, but he's.
30:23
Oh yeah, I know. Colt Ford.
30:24
Yeah. Oh yeah, absolutely.
30:25
So he was a. Little Chad neck man.
30:27
Oh. Yeah, so I was talking, I was
30:31
talking with his touring guitarist and, and telling him
30:34
what I had just gone and done in Nashville.
30:36
And he says, oh, yeah, man. I asked, did you?
30:40
Are you a session player? He goes, Yeah, he goes.
30:42
I even played on one of Colt Ford's songs and I'm like, so
30:46
you don't go into the studio with your band it none of them
30:49
do. And yeah, a lot better about
30:52
that at that point. So yeah, they're all mix and
30:55
match, and whoever gets on what album depends on who's available
30:58
that day, I guess. I used to kind of feel weird
31:01
about that too. Like I never wanted anybody to
31:04
have any kind of outside influence on what I was doing
31:09
unless they were in the band, right?
31:10
You know, I respect Chris. I respected Scott, Rick, those
31:14
are the only opinions I wanted. Yeah, that's so stupid.
31:19
Because at the end of the day, what we need to do is get
31:24
Chris's message across to the audience right in a.
31:29
Format. Other otherwise, he's reading
31:31
poetry. He want, he wants.
31:32
A song? Yep.
31:34
So the idea is to get Dave and Chris's lyrics idea across in a
31:39
musical format. It doesn't matter how that
31:40
happens. Absolutely.
31:43
Because we're all still involved.
31:45
There's two of the Colt Ford albums on my playlist.
31:48
Cool. Right on.
31:49
Yeah, yeah, he's. Yeah.
31:53
He's chicken and chicken and biscuits, man.
31:56
Yeah. I mean, you could go at it from
31:58
a purist perspective. I did when I was young guy.
32:01
I I'm not, I want creative control over everything.
32:05
We're going to sing the words we want to sing.
32:07
We're going to play them the guitars the way we want to play
32:10
them. And it's like, well, there's a
32:12
reason that those guys are like top 200 and higher on the
32:17
country Billboard charts, right? It's not because they're
32:20
purists. It's because they no, there's a
32:22
way to do things and they know how to do it and they do a damn
32:25
fine job at it. So Yep, here we are.
32:29
Understand who their audience is and what they wanna hear.
32:32
That's what you absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
32:34
And for those of you, for those of you watching and gonna
32:38
eventually listen, daveunoband.com is is his page.
32:43
I have it up here. Has all kinds of stuff home used
32:46
to contact us about. There's actually, there's Dave
32:49
and the boys. You know, that's that's a great
32:51
picture. That's fucking Dave.
32:52
It's a cool picture. It is a great picture.
32:55
Photo Look up Tim Schmidt Photo. Shout out to Tim Schmidt, OK?
32:59
Tim Schmidt, SCHMIDTI. DT.
33:03
He's one of my best friends from high school, but we're still in.
33:06
That's a close contact too. Yeah, that guy does.
33:09
So yeah, he, he created that. I'm just sitting there pointing
33:12
at a camera that the whole I don't look like that.
33:14
Just, you know, that's all I'm doing.
33:17
And he makes it. You do right live.
33:19
Yeah, yeah. And you're, so you got a show.
33:21
You got a show coming up Saturday, September 27th in
33:25
Astoria, OR Yep, Yep. And that's.
33:27
My my old stomping grounds over there too.
33:30
OK, cool. Kind of where I grew up.
33:31
Dinner and concert with Dave Nice.
33:33
There's there's some action shot.
33:35
Is this is this from your buddy Tim or is this just somebody
33:37
else on the road taking pics? Those are, yeah, just kind of
33:41
pictures taken from probably a cell phone.
33:43
Look, Dave, yeah, your look is. Out you have the look like
33:47
straight up dude, you got the look for for what?
33:51
But think about it, so many artists you.
33:53
You hate when you have there too.
33:54
That's a huge point, Chris. Yeah, when you hear, when you
33:57
hear somebody singing right and then, and then you, you radio
34:01
Sirius, whatever. And then all of a sudden you go
34:03
home and you Google that then and it's like, oh, that's what?
34:06
Oh, really? Oh you, you have the look to
34:08
back the sound man. All right.
34:10
Awesome. Well, thank you.
34:12
I mean that's I would say nobody that was on purpose.
34:16
Well, I know, but yeah, that's gotta be, yeah.
34:19
I always say nobody wants to go to a concert and see their dad
34:22
up there playing music, right? You don't want to see it or
34:25
their up shirt. Or their teacher or something.
34:29
Yeah, yeah, I don't, I don't never show up at a gig as if I
34:33
just got off work and and came came over, you know, Right,
34:37
Right. I thought that was pretty
34:38
valuable lesson. Representation as well.
34:41
Yeah. Absolutely, Absolutely.
34:43
If you're going to be larger than life, you got to be larger
34:46
than life. Yeah, you do.
34:49
You got to own it, man. You got to have the.
34:50
Presents. When I go to the grocery store,
34:52
this is what I look like. When I go set up my gear, this
34:55
is what I look like. I call him this guy Dave's
34:58
Roadie. So.
34:59
And then I'll, I'll go change my hat and put on my glasses and
35:04
oh, shit. Dave Noodles here.
35:05
All right, Yeah. No, it, it worked, though.
35:09
You got to have you got to have like Mike was big when we, when
35:11
he put together the band that we were in, he, he was, the looks
35:16
were important because back then it was the early 90s.
35:19
So it's all about about the look.
35:20
And do you have like he he had long hair.
35:22
Scott had long hair. I ironically was in a play.
35:25
My bald cap ripped so I shaved my head.
35:27
Shut up. The one day to practice my head
35:28
shaved. Unbeknownst to my ignorance of
35:31
of me, I was wearing red and black flannel shirts with Doc
35:33
Martens and a completely shaved head.
35:36
In like 1994. And, you know, living, living
35:40
with a black dude as my roommate who is all into Louis Farrakhan
35:43
and shit. So imagine us walking down the
35:44
street, Dave. But but so it was great.
35:50
And then we got we got typecast for one of our shows.
35:53
They put us with a Skinhead kind of thing because oh really?
35:57
And we were the heard this thing from that.
35:59
But you know, we were accepted because the way I looked, you
36:02
know, sure, because I owned the stage, I had the presence, I
36:04
knew how to work the crowd and shit, which we won't go into the
36:07
story because they told 1000 of times, but you know, I, I filled
36:10
the void for a singer they had that that just wouldn't perform
36:14
on stage in front of a crowd. That's another thing.
36:18
You can't just stand still while you sing your songs anymore.
36:21
No, I mean you can. Sometimes you can get away with
36:24
it a little. Bit straight and get George yeah
36:26
yeah George Strait can get away with it Alan Jackson getting
36:29
away with it but you know Dave Mustaine gets away with it but I
36:32
I lose interest if you just I just.
36:39
Hands in one hand in a pocket, one hand on the mic.
36:42
Yeah, yeah. I'm like, you're feeling it.
36:44
So show the world you feel it, you know?
36:46
Yeah, it's but to each his own though.
36:48
But that's, you know. But I agree with you.
36:50
If, if for me, if the singer's not entertaining, I'm not, I'm
36:53
not. I'm not going past him to the
36:54
band. Right.
36:56
Chris literally would not take no for an answer from any crowd
36:59
that ever stood in front of him. No, if he asked them a question
37:03
and he and he got crickets. He was like, I'm not going to
37:06
quit asking this question until I get some kind of response and
37:09
and not in those words. But he had a very good way of
37:13
just asking that same question until people were like, oh, he
37:16
wants us to participate. Yeah, right.
37:19
I used to give away. I used to give away pictures of
37:20
beer. I I used to give away pictures
37:23
of beer, Dave. So I'd ask people.
37:25
The first time I ever did, I was like, who wants a free pitch of
37:26
your beer? Crickets.
37:28
And I was like, I don't think you heard me.
37:30
The loudest motherfucker who raises their hand when I say,
37:33
who wants a free pitch of beer? You get a pitch of your beer.
37:36
I already paid for it. 123. Who wants a free pitch of beer?
37:39
And then everybody's like, what? So that's the point where I just
37:42
had like, OK, right there. And then we were.
37:46
Right. So I I think I did that six or
37:48
seven times at that venue and then they finally killed me.
37:50
He's like, dude, you can't do that.
37:51
Like you don't have an all 21 show.
37:53
You have to stop. I'm like, really?
37:57
Oh, I'm going to. Remember.
37:59
Yeah, so. But it's a cool little bit,
38:01
because who doesn't want a free beer?
38:04
Right. We found a work around then you
38:06
just had Nikki go by. Yeah.
38:07
Yeah, yeah. My wife just ended up buying the
38:09
beer. And you made sure they were 21,
38:11
you know, but it's still that was amazed the first time, Dave,
38:15
you asked the question. It's like it's OK.
38:18
You know, the funniest night. And I just thought of this the
38:21
other day because I was thinking of you doing that, giving away
38:24
T-shirts and bumper stickers and beers.
38:26
And remember the night we were playing with Sacred Reich and
38:28
nobody, You're like, who's here to see Sacred Reich?
38:31
And nobody said anything. And you were like Chris said,
38:34
you all know that the guy running sound plays rhythm
38:37
guitar in the band you came to see, right?
38:39
So then he got kind of 1/2 lukewarm response the second
38:43
time. And he says, Jason, feel free to
38:46
kick all their asses because literally their rhythm guitar
38:51
player was our sound man. So he was right there.
38:55
Right on. Well, I know this whenever.
38:58
That. Yeah, whenever I get a mediocre
39:01
response when I'm on a microphone and I'd say like
39:03
something like how we all doing tonight or whatever, you know,
39:06
just trying to get get a little rise out of the crowd and a
39:09
little soft, kind of like woo. I'm like, oh, right.
39:14
So what I figured out is if you say it again with a little bit
39:17
more conviction, a little louder, people start realizing
39:21
that, oh, oh, he was talking to us.
39:24
So then you get the big cheer from the crowd that that's the
39:27
the bitch about playing in bars and stuff like that.
39:30
I'm I'm glad that I have the opportunity to do bigger things
39:33
than that, but I love playing in the bars too.
39:36
It's a lot of fun, as long as everybody knows what they're.
39:38
There for somewhere, Yeah, right.
39:41
Well, and, and when they know that you're there to really
39:43
perform for them, it's a different thing than just some
39:46
band in the background making noise while we're over here
39:49
visiting with our friends or whatever, you know, So, and I, I
39:52
have a couple of songs like like so far so good that I wrote.
39:56
The reason I wrote it, called it So Far So Good is because
40:00
everybody knows that phrase. And so my job is to get
40:03
everybody to say it at the shows.
40:05
And I do, and sometimes it takes a few takes a couple of tries to
40:10
get everybody on board, but I always get them.
40:13
You know what I mean? Yeah.
40:14
It does, and there's nothing better than that man having the
40:17
crowd sing back to you where you're telling.
40:19
Hell yeah, that. Absolutely.
40:20
That to me is is the greatest moment of every time I was ever
40:24
on stage. If I got the crowd to sing
40:26
something back to me. Yep.
40:27
Right. That was my when, when I decided
40:31
I wanted to get into the music world, that was my thing.
40:32
I wanted to be standing, you know, in front of a venue like
40:35
Madison, the Square Garden and just kind of step back and have
40:37
people sing back to me. Never happened, but it's still
40:40
what we we approached every show like this is it.
40:43
This is the last time we're playing.
40:45
So there was never, there was never that, oh shit, we're
40:47
playing this song for the thousandth time or the five
40:49
thousandth time. It wasn't like that with us.
40:51
Like our whole purpose once we got on the stage was like, we're
40:54
going to win this crowd over because they're a new crowd.
40:56
We had the ability to open up for everybody from Marshall
41:00
Tucker Band to Sacred Right to. You know Tony McAlpine, Pat
41:04
Travers, right? Just LA Gong.
41:07
Yeah, $7.00. Yeah, I mean, just because we
41:10
had, we were that song you heard for the for the show that we
41:14
started, that's one of our songs called Freeman.
41:17
Oh, OK, right on. And we wrote that 30 years ago,
41:20
and it's still can still be played today, yeah.
41:22
Love it. Yeah.
41:25
That's the cool thing about music, man.
41:26
It's just it's timeless, the test of time.
41:28
And it's a it's a common thread. Like, you know, we don't know
41:32
you from Adam, and we've had a conversation for 50 minutes all
41:34
about music and it's like we're brothers.
41:36
You know, absolutely that's. Been the beauty of music my
41:40
whole life, man. Once you find out you have that
41:43
common ground. Like Chris just said, instantly
41:45
we were all three on the same page.
41:47
We just met you, you know, less than an hour ago.
41:50
Yeah, Yep. But that's because you've been
41:52
doing music for 25 years. him and I have been doing it for 30
41:55
plus years. When you have that kind of
41:58
dedication put into anything, you really have respect for
42:02
anyone that does anything at that level.
42:04
Not just music, you know, any kind of art construction,
42:08
whatever is yours. What I like to call skill set.
42:12
Yeah. Right When you put that 10,000
42:14
hours into it and then you become a master, you have
42:17
appreciation for anybody that can do that, Yeah.
42:20
Absolutely, yeah. Unspoken respect.
42:23
Immediately, the guy that taught me to play gave me that lesson
42:26
that he just talked about. Probably maybe in the first year
42:31
I was taking lessons when I first started to be able to play
42:35
a song. He's like, every time you pick
42:38
up your guitar, play like it's the last time you're ever going
42:41
to play, because eventually it will be.
42:43
Right, so. What he meant was don't put 1/2
42:46
hearted effort into it, ever. Whether you're practicing or
42:49
whether you're standing in front of 60,000 people, you play the
42:52
same way every time. Yeah, absolutely.
42:55
And when I'm feeling like I'm not playing well, it's always
42:58
because I'm not putting enough effort into it, you know?
43:02
Right. Yeah, I kind of approach the
43:04
singing too, that way. Like I'm not gonna half ass it
43:08
at a show. I'm gonna put all I've got into
43:10
it every time. And it doesn't matter if they're
43:13
even if five people or 4000 people, right, They all get the
43:17
so far so good treatment. Yeah, that was.
43:20
Awesome. And I I learned I learned that
43:22
from watching the documentary on mother love bone Precious
43:25
Andrew. All right, you know, just bummer
43:28
that the dude's dead, but. Yeah, absolutely.
43:30
Yeah. That that Andrew would to me
43:33
epitomized a lead singer and and one of one of the many singers
43:39
that I kind of like. Oh, agreed.
43:40
But he approached every single show, whether like you said,
43:43
whether it's five people or 5000, he's in an arena.
43:47
I'm, I'm in front of, I'm in front of 5000 people, whatever.
43:50
And his mindset was I'm playing in front of a sold out crowd at
43:54
the biggest venue possible. And I'm making sure everybody in
43:56
this venue hears me and it gets the same experience.
43:59
Kind of like you and I were talking yesterday how Garth
44:00
Brooks approach things in his heyday, right where he'd go up
44:03
to the to the top of the stadium and look down at the crowd.
44:06
He's like, I got to figure out how this person up here can feel
44:08
me all the way down there. Right.
44:10
That's a unique, that's a unique skill set for a singer to be
44:14
able to do that. But you have to be able to do
44:15
that to get people in into what you're doing because that
44:18
equates to the sales and the success and the, and the
44:21
merchandise and all the things that come along with it.
44:23
But I mean, and so it's it's it's not an easy thing to do
44:26
because there's lots of bands out there.
44:28
We talked about they just will stand there and sing.
44:29
There's no man engaged. You're not excited.
44:31
It's like, yeah, come on, man, come on.
44:33
You know, you know, and you know, one hit wonders on 12
44:36
track albums. It's like, what the fuck?
44:38
We got like 10 minutes. We got, we got like 10 minutes

That's an excellent picture. Oh, yeah, we, we, we, we played
47:12
at the Treeport Music Hall last year and sold the tickets for
47:16
all of that down here in Boise. And, and boy, that stage is
47:19
killer. I mean, look at those lights.
47:20
Those are amazing. Yeah.
47:21
Yeah, that looks beautiful, man. And there's other ones from that
47:24
that are totally different color scheme that just looked
47:27
phenomenal. So whoever's running the lights
47:30
down there at Treeport Music Halls got they got it on the
47:32
lock. Kudo.

47:37
Yeah, yeah, that's a cool venue. Right on.
47:41
Yeah, so I kind of just told everybody where to find you.

47:46
before I wrap this up and you get on with your day?
47:49
Check out Vela Cheetah. It looks like Vela.
47:52
How do you spell that VEL it? Looks like velocity.
47:56
Right. Yeah, it's not really pronounced
47:58
the way it's said. So what's the last four letters
48:01
on it? CSCITA.
48:04
Yeah, Bella cheated with Bruce Gambino and and Russ Allen is
48:08
his partner and Russ Allen is the dude that kind of founded
48:12
Symphony X and he started Adrenaline Mob and boy, that
48:16
guy, I didn't realize who I was dealing with when I heard the
48:20
name Russ Allen. That guy's got one of the most
48:22
killer singing voices on the face of the planet and, and
48:27
apparently quite a, a hell of a work ethic.
48:31
So I'm I'm in good hands with these guys and Bruce Gambino
48:35
and, and yeah, Bella Cheetah. I'm looking forward to all the

Bruce is good people, man. He's he.
48:46
I sent him a Facebook message, dude.
48:48
That's how I found him. And it took him a while.
48:51
He took him a while. I'm going to share this.
48:53
It took him a while to get back to me because obviously he's
48:55
busy. But, you know, same thing, the
48:58
common thread of music. I consider him a friend because,
49:03
I mean, we've had conversations last an hour or more and it's
49:06
all talking about music and musicians.
49:09
Yeah, that's his. That's his.
49:10
That's his LinkedIn. That's his LinkedIn page.
49:12
Oh. Cool.

49:16
I wanted, yeah. Yeah, he's a hell of a nice guy.
49:19
And yeah, like you said, you can get in a conversation for quite
49:23
a while with that guy. He's about as friendly as they
49:25
get. Also, he's a hard working dude
49:28
and he's got a lot of ambition. And I'm, I'm really, I feel like
49:32
I'm in good hands with with that, that whole group of dudes.
49:35

50:07
