1:18
It joins us for an encore presentation of his life.
1:23
Welcome back, Dave. Hey, guys.
1:31
So what's going on in the Dave Noodle world, man?
1:34
Well, just recording music and trying to get some, some new
1:37
stuff out there. We did AAI kind of reimagined a
1:41
little bit, a couple of old songs, Betting on a Bullet and
1:46
and The Lord of the Devil, and I just rerecorded it more, you
1:52
know, the way we've been doing it live instead of the way that.
1:56
Cool. It, you know, it's a little, I
2:00
think it's got a little more balls, a little more balls to
2:02
it, you know, And then I, I got this new song I just released
2:05
out there. It's called How Do I.
2:07
That was actually a kind of a, a story that that came kind of
2:13
naturally when I first met my wife, you know, when we first
2:16
started kind of, you know, liking each other and seeing
2:20
each other and that sort of stuff.
2:23
Yeah. And trying to figure out how to
2:25
bring a, a brand new love into this life that I live.
2:29
You know, I'm, I'm a musician. So I'm, I'm, I'm gone a lot and
2:35
and then I'm out late and it's just like, you know, that's not
2:41
conducive for a brand New Girl to try to deal with, you know?
2:45
Nope, no, I've always, I've always equated a a a musician to
2:49
be in a cowboy 'cause you're never home, you're always a.
2:52
Bit like that. You're always doing something.
2:55
It's yeah, it's like that. You're always doing something
2:57
now. And then then when?
3:02
You're definitely nailed. Home doing stuff at at the house
3:05
and right, doing yard work and all that kind of stuff.
3:09
Home Depot and whatnot. Yep, Go ahead.
3:14
Go ahead, Mike. You're going to say something.
3:16
No, I was going to say you, we were talking before the show.
3:18
You definitely nailed it with how do I because I didn't know
3:21
that was you When it came up in my playlist, I had forgotten
3:24
that I put it in there. Spotify is really cool about
3:27
letting you know when you like somebody and follow them.
3:31
Your song came up when it was new, so I just hit the follow
3:34
button, you know? So it threw it in my liked
3:36
folder and you came up in the middle of everybody else and I
3:40
didn't know who it was. So if anybody out there hasn't
3:43
heard it, go look up Dave Nudo. How do I along with Lord or the
3:46
Devil? As soon as he releases the new
3:47
version for sure. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
3:51
I've introduced so many people to that song, dude.
3:53
I sure appreciate it. And so is Chris.
3:57
I appreciate both you. Guys, I, I told you I, I, I
4:00
thank you. We appreciate you.
4:01
I told you with the when we first had you on the show, I
4:03
just looked for your song titles and that was the one that stood
4:05
out at me. So I didn't even, I didn't even
4:07
know how badass it was going to be.
4:09
I just liked the title and. You know, I thought it was kind
4:13
of kind of catchy it. Yeah, I don't know.
4:16
It just came naturally too. That was the three at 3:00 in
4:18
the morning sort of thing. I was fill up and hanging out
4:21
and I just got this. Yeah, yeah, I see.
4:23
I love. Yeah.
4:27
Go to the tell the story. It was more about like the
4:29
groove of it too. It was like a just sort of a
4:33
driver like that. And I don't know, I was thinking
4:37
about all the, all the shit you find on TV with the commercials
4:41
and all that. And they're all trying to sell
4:42
you some kind of pill all the time.
4:44
It's going to fix everything for you.
4:45
And then it's like, you know, we all need some pill to swallow.
4:49
That's the first line of the chorus.
4:51
And then, you know, you got me to think, you know, who's
4:54
guiding this little freight train?
4:56
Is it for you or is it the Lord or the devil?
4:59
Cause to me and all that consumer bullshit is, I mean, I,
5:04
I partake in all a lot of that kind of consumer nonsense, but
5:08
but it's certainly not great, you know, grounded in anything
5:12
through a necessarily a righteous path of any kind.
5:17
Usually it's trying to eliminate hard work and that kind of
5:19
stuff. Here's something funny, Dave.
5:23
I was half in the bag last night because I worked 3-12 hour days
5:27
this week and I was just tired, man.
5:29
So, you know, I had a couple extra beers and one of those
5:33
commercials came on and I had to rewind it to time how long the
5:38
horrible side effects lasted in that commercial.
5:41
It was 24 seconds of the commercial was this will kill
5:47
you, cause you to want to kill yourself, cause you to bleed out
5:50
your eyes, your ears, places you don't want to have things like
5:54
that happen. I thought about your song.
5:56
I was like, man, right? Now here's the here, now here's
6:00
the, here's the, here's the, here's the thing that's going to
6:01
just blow your mind. OK, those side effects, we're
6:06
done with test subjects because you see that stuff, you can be,
6:09
you can be a lab test animal, human, because they'll check
6:13
them on the end of the rats first, right?
6:14
And once they pass the rat test and they go to humans.
6:17
So you can be a case study for Pfizer, right, International and
6:20
make $10,000 over a course of two months, but you're taking
6:24
all this crap. So every side effect happened to
6:26
somebody. Somebody died, somebody's eyes
6:30
bled, somebody's ears bled, you know, like, right, somebody's
6:36
penis went limp and never came back.
6:38
Their hair fell out. I mean, think about that shit.
6:40
So when you're watching TV, boys and girls, and you see this
6:43
commercials for these drugs that they're pimping out, the side
6:46
effects actually happened to real life human beings.
6:49
So true. And somehow that still gets
6:52
passed the FDA mind though. You know, one in one in a, one
6:58
in a million, one in 20,001 in 10.
7:01
I don't know, I don't know how what their ratio is for these
7:03
side side effects, you know, actually affecting people in a
7:07
in a large way, But maybe it's not worth it.
7:11
Maybe it's not worth it. No, I think it's, I think it's
7:14
lower than that man. I don't, I don't think you test
7:17
a million people because that's not cost effective.
7:20
I think you're testing small groups like 1000 or maybe 100.
7:24
I don't, I can't imagine, you know, a big drug company, you
7:27
know, like, like when they discovered Viagra worked for,
7:30
for erectile dysfunction, It was, it was created for the, I
7:34
think it was the Navy seals, something to do with their lungs
7:38
and their heart or something, why they're doing all that
7:39
insane training. And then that was a by product
7:42
that was like, and then all of a sudden they started getting
7:43
erections like what the hell is this?
7:45
And they realized, oh, this does this, which is what it was
7:48
designed for. This was a side effect.
7:50
Now we can make trillions of dollars on this.
7:53
You know, fuck curing cancer, but let's give everybody a heart
7:56
hunt. Yeah, right.
7:57
For three hours. Well, four hours.
8:01
Four hours is worst case scenario, but you know, 3 hours.
8:04
After four hours, seek medical attention, right?
8:06
Right, right. So, funny story, we have some
8:11
friends that that happened to him.
8:15
And so we had to go to the hospital and they actually have
8:19
to drain, really stick something in the dangling and then and
8:23
yeah, and then drain. Yeah, he took the wrong, he took
8:27
the wrong amount or something, something wacky.
8:31
And so he was still, it was still at attention 4 hours later
8:34
and then started getting painful.
8:35
So they had to go to the hospital and and sure enough,
8:38
man, they have to drain something.
8:40
They have to poke a, you know, and.
8:41
Stick it in like it's a van. Draw blood from it.
8:45
No, I don't want to see a picture.
8:47
I do not want to I see a picture.
8:49
I don't need to see a picture, I can just I can visualize.
8:53
I don't have. One of those that's a good idea.
8:58
Nope, no. Crazy.
9:00
So the Dave Noodle Band are are you doing, are you torn?
9:03
Are you going on the road? What's what's the dealio?
9:05
It's it's, it's May 1st. Welcome to May boys and girls in
9:09
2026. What's on the horizon for the
9:11
band, my friend? I saw you put the band back
9:14
together. Yeah, yeah.
9:16
So I had a couple of lineup changes here recently too.
9:19
And you know, I, I've been pretty happy with the, with the,
9:23
the group of guys as far as playing and all that stuff goes.
9:27
But I've, I think we've kind of levelled up a little bit.
9:31
Got I got all of the key components that I was always
9:34
looking for. Like when I first recorded
9:37
County Line, I wanted a group of guys 1, you know, a three-part
9:42
harmony on the vocals, you know, wherever, wherever it's
9:45
necessary. Of course, we're not going to be
9:48
the the, you know, Diamond Rio and or that, but it's we're you.
9:52
Know that quality is what you want to be Diamond Rio.
9:54
Don't. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
9:56
But as far as like Diamond Rio? The ability to throw that in
10:00
there when I want it, we have that ability.
10:04
And so I got a a guy on drums, name's Danny Gately.
10:09
He's also one of the the harmony vocalists.
10:13
He he's got just a big old huge metal drum kit and, and just
10:18
kind of what I was always looking for something big drums.
10:21
And now in the way of guitars, I got Ronnie, Ronnie long on
10:25
guitar, leading guitar and, and he's, you know, he's just an
10:31
expert player. I mean, he's got he's got
10:33
chicken picking. He can, he can play like the
10:36
best of them. He can play like all your
10:38
favorite rock and and like Hard Rock and then country music as
10:43
well. So that's just kind of what I
10:45
have not updated the website though.
10:48
I didn't. I didn't think so, yeah.
10:50
That's Kyle. That's Kyle, the bass player
10:53
there with the green bass. He's he's still in the band now.
10:56
He's like the old, you know, the the longest member of the band
11:00
besides myself. He's also one of the harmony
11:03
vocalist and yeah, yeah. Kyle Christensen.
11:06
Good. Job, Kyle.
11:09
So I've got a group of guys that we all, we all fit in really
11:12
well together and as far as personalities go, and, and just
11:16
the four dudes that I would actually 3, three other dudes
11:19
that I would actually like hanging out with as well.
11:21
And, and we get to do that a little bit.
11:23
That's. Important.
11:23
That is so important. Yes, that's the most important.
11:27
Aspect of being in a band. Oh man, don't like them?
11:30
Then get them, get rid of them. You don't 'cause you know, you
11:32
just got to like them. You got to like them.
11:34
You spend so much time, people don't.
11:35
I think people realize it more so now than they did before.
11:38
But being in a band, it's like being in a marriage.
11:39
But you, it's not just one person.
11:41
It's, you know, 3456. We had we had a lady on not too
11:46
long ago, Deborah Masterson, who who got to go on tour with Sammy
11:50
Davis Junior. What did, what did she say,
11:52
Mike? There was nine people in that
11:53
band. 9 or 11? I think that one might have been
11:56
11. That's a lot.
11:58
Yeah, yeah. That's a lot of people who got
12:01
to get along with. Yeah, well, imagine the artist,
12:04
like, like Bruno Mars is on a tour right now.
12:06
So when he came to Arizona, I saw some pictures and stuff.
12:09
His, his, his. It's like 20 people, man.
12:13
Plus the musicians. Oh wow.
12:15
Oh, because of all the dancers. All the all the the dancers and
12:18
shit, yeah. Oh yeah.
12:20
That's one of the artists. That's one of the artists of my
12:22
daughter was she's going to be 30 now in September.
12:25
When she was young, I was like, this guy's going to be around
12:27
for a long time. Oh yeah.
12:29
Because you could just tell he was talented, him and him and
12:31
the only two I really thought of everybody.
12:33
She'd listen to Bieber Bieber, Justin Bieber and and and and
12:36
Bruno Mars. I'm like, OK, they have
12:38
something that most people don't.
12:40
Bruno's another one that you like to say, Chris, that he
12:43
plays all those instruments. Yeah, he.
12:46
He not only is that talented at dancing and singing, he actually
12:51
envisions how that song's going to be with every instrument
12:54
that's. One of those guys that plays all
12:55
the parts in the studio and then hires guys to play it live.
12:58
Yep. For the most part, yeah.
13:01
Probably. Yeah, He's another.
13:02
He's another Prince, another Kid Rock.
13:04
No, man. Cool.
13:06
Multi instrumentalist, multi talented.
13:09
Right on. Well, I'm not multi multi
13:12
instrumental necessarily. I could play a little bit of
13:15
chords on piano, that kind of thing.
13:17
And you know, a stringed instrument I can make some kind
13:20
of music with, but fluently it's just guitar.
13:24
Yeah, that's what I always like to say too.
13:26
I know where the notes are on the bass, but I am not by no
13:29
means a bass player because I'm going to play it like a guitar.
13:32
Right, Yeah, yeah. When I pick up a bass guitar, I
13:36
I kind of stick to the root because I'm just, I'm not as I
13:40
don't know, I don't know how a bass should go.
13:42
That's why I like what I hear when when Kyle does it.
13:47
That's a great way to put it. I think I know how to play bass
13:50
until somebody actually knows how to play bass and then I hear
13:53
it. Yeah.
13:54
Oh yeah, that's how it goes. So here's here's Dave's Here's
13:58
Dave nudo topic. What does topic mean, Dave?
14:01
So when I so while I was signed to Eminent Music, they they were
14:06
releasing all my music through the orchard, which actually I'm
14:08
going to start releasing all my music still through through the
14:12
orchard there. It's only like linked to Sony,
14:15
correct? Yeah.
14:17
Brian Wayne Perry, the Perry group I think is what it what
14:21
it's through. But so that they create the this
14:26
YouTube page. And so it's not they're they,
14:30
you know, they're not Dave Nudo. This is just their Dave Nudo
14:33
topic page. But I don't really even.
14:36
So I'm going to try, I'm going to have him let me have control
14:40
of that so I can, you know, put other things on, fix it on there
14:43
that I want. Get a cover.
14:45
Yeah, get a cover. Get a cover photo.
14:47
Yeah, one of your bad ass. I'm, I'm motherfucking Dave
14:50
Noodle pictures, man, you know? Yeah.
14:52
You know, be that guy. Yeah, OK.
14:58
Yeah, for all the live shows, I've got this ridiculous.
15:00
I do a lot of sitting and like like just solo shows as well.
15:05
This is how I pay all the bills. So when we're not, you know,
15:07
when we're not touring, I'm, I'm booking all around the, you
15:11
know, the Boise area, you know, the Treasure Valley and beyond.
15:16
Yeah, the Northwest kind of. We follow you.
15:18
So we notice we yeah, yeah, yeah, we follow.
15:21
Yeah, on the. Social.
15:22
So we we. See, you guys are always you.
15:24
Doing all the things, man. Yeah, thanks.
15:26
Appreciate it. Yeah.
15:28
So more gigantic picture of me sitting right next to me, like
15:34
at all the solo shows. And I'm looking at that thing
15:36
and how grandiose it looks compared to, you know, me
15:39
sitting in a corner playing music, like pointing out because
15:43
there's a little link tree thing, QR code for my link tree
15:49
on the bottom. And I'm pointing it out out,
15:51
talking about this ridiculously huge picture of myself sitting
15:55
right next to me. Look at the bottom and use your
15:57
camera. You know, so it's kind of it
16:01
looks a little silly to me, but that's it'll look cool on the on
16:04
it. It looks good on the side of a
16:06
bigger stage. That's good.
16:10
Yeah. I'm just scrolling, you guys.
16:16
Yeah, that was a great shot. You know, you know how I you
16:19
know how I roll? I like to pimp out the guests I
16:21
like. That one, that's the one right
16:23
there. That was created by my like one
16:27
of my longtime best friends, the TJ Tim Schmidt.
16:31
Tim Schmidt photo. Yeah, he does some good work
16:34
and, and we've used those. That picture was the first one
16:38
he took and I've used. I still use that both of those
16:41
pictures when I'm trying to advertise well.
16:43
'Cause you still you, you, yeah, 'cause it still looks like you,
16:46
man. That's.
16:46
The Yeah, it's not like. Yeah, well, and your picture is
16:49
a little longer, you know, lonesome.
16:52
My beard, kinda. This one fluctuates a little
16:54
bit. But yeah, I got to trim it up
16:56
there now and then keep it straight.
16:59
Yeah. Other than that, it it's all
17:01
topped out, it doesn't get any longer than that, which is
17:05
unfortunate. I'd like to have one down to the
17:07
belly button, you know? Inquiring minds want to know how
17:12
long did it take you to get to where you're at currently?
17:15
Oh, I haven't cut it in years. Well, actually, that's not true.
17:19
I did actually let this guy talk me into touching me up before a
17:25
show one day, and he did it. He did it for free.
17:28
But I come out of there and my beard's like about three or
17:32
three inches shorter than it was, and I'm OK.
17:36
It'll grow back. What's your wife think?
17:41
She, I, you know, she didn't really give me any shit about it
17:46
either way. She she didn't express very
17:50
much, enough for me to remember whether she hated it or like,
17:55
maybe she just didn't want to hurt my feelings.
17:57
I don't know. That's funny.
18:04
Yeah. So what you guys been up to?
18:10
Oh, you know, just taking over the world.
18:12
We're at what? What, almost in 100 countries
18:14
now? Nice.
18:16
Yeah, probably, probably closing in on 100.
18:18
We can claim 85 officially. I got to count the ones on the
18:24
website, but yeah, we just had a surge, man about two weeks ago.
18:30
You know how the Internet works. You fall into a rabbit hole.
18:32
You don't know how people find you.
18:34
We picked up over 40 countries in 10 days.
18:37
Oh, that's awesome. So listen when the whole world.
18:41
And Vietnam became #2. When you dominate the whole
18:44
world, try not to forget about me, would you?
18:48
Hell no dude, you. No, absolutely not.
18:51
We just had this conversation with another guest.
18:54
Yeah. We hope it works one of two
18:57
ways. We hope you dominate the world
18:59
and you don't forget about us, right?
19:01
Because in in turn, we're not going to do the same.
19:04
I mean, exactly. That's the whole point of this
19:06
show is hopefully one of us blows up and it just helps
19:10
everybody else and it becomes a whole community, you know?
19:13
Yeah, absolutely. Well, you got my phone number
19:15
so. We.
19:17
We do. Yeah, and I meant it, man.
19:20
Your music comes up in my playlist all the time.
19:22
I'm as much of a fan as I am, you know, humbled to be your
19:26
friend now. It's.
19:27
Yeah. That was the whole point of this
19:28
show, was to meet cool people that are doing cool things, and
19:31
especially musicians, because that's our wheelhouse, right?
19:36
Yeah, I love it. Yeah, that's cool.
19:42
I I got hooked on another podcast because of the guy who
19:46
was a member. You guys watched WWE at all?
19:50
Probably not a thing I. Used to very.
19:53
Very seldomly. Seldomly.
19:56
Some weird reason, you know, I used to watch it when I was when
19:59
mainly when I was a teenager, late, late teens but but you
20:03
know all throughout my life, if it was on, I glued to the TV
20:06
watching these crazy maniacs beating the hell out of each
20:08
other but. But yeah, I just recently
20:11
started watching over the last, I don't know, three or four
20:13
years watching it again and with all the new characters and all
20:18
that stuff. And one of those guys is Logan
20:19
Paul and and. Oh.
20:23
Yeah. Yeah, that guy was pretty cool.
20:25
He he's always interviewing all a lot of the people that I I'd
20:30
like to, you know, know stuff about not so much in the
20:34
Rockstar world. I like I I found this other one
20:37
for that, but well I can't remember the name of it so I
20:41
just go to the Chris and Mike show.
20:44
That way I can hear about all the all the up and comers and.
20:50
Right. Whoever else is on there.
20:56
We've been pretty blessed man. Chris has done an amazing job of
21:00
picking people who are legitimate about what they say
21:04
they're doing. I'll, I'll give him credit for
21:06
that. You know, you get a lot of
21:08
people that you know are bullshit and you got to weed
21:10
those people out. So he's done a a great job of
21:14
wedding out the people who you know, are just blowing smoke and
21:19
finding the people who are definitely on their way up, you
21:22
know, like yourself. Look at what you've done since
21:24
you've been on this show. You went back, re recorded that
21:27
you put your band back together. We knew you were legitimate just
21:30
by hearing your music. Oh yeah, that's why that's.
21:33
Yeah. So again, I wasn't bullshitting
21:36
you before the show. We bring up the Lord and the
21:38
Devil a lot with other musicians we talked to because it's just
21:42
it's we haven't brought it up to this.
21:44
We brought up to a friend of ours, a radio DJ who who was in
21:48
here in Arizona forever. Then he went to California and
21:50
he got riffed. So we had him on the show
21:52
because I'd always wanted to have him on the show because the
21:54
dude's got stories like he wouldn't believe, like he met
21:56
Lemmy. I mean, he's met Jimmy Page.
21:58
I mean, I keep telling dude, write a write a book while
22:00
you're while you're searching for employment, write a book.
22:03
Just write a book, man. And he posted something on his
22:06
Facebook page yesterday and I chimed in there, dude, write a
22:09
book. And the the likes of that common
22:12
alone are blowing up because it's like, dude, you have disc
22:16
jockeys from because 40 years in music, he was as a disc jockey.
22:19
So you, you think back 40 years ago, they had, they had the keys
22:23
to the Kingdom, right? You didn't have social media,
22:25
you didn't have the presence that you can have now as an
22:28
artist on your own. So the DJs were the were the
22:32
gatekeepers. They'd come to the studios,
22:34
they'd talk to promote the shows, right?
22:35
Because you come to town, where are you going?
22:37
You're doing the radios bit in the morning to promote your show
22:39
that night. Because there was nothing.
22:42
It was just radio and TV. So the things that he's done,
22:47
the people he's sat with and and the interviews he's done, like
22:50
he he told Scott Stapp, he asked Scott Stapp, how hard is it
22:54
being the world's greatest douche right at the at the
22:58
height of creed, Because this step was a douche back then,
23:02
right, right. No, that was a different
23:04
conversation, but you know what I mean?
23:07
So those little Nuggets of his life, I think would be a
23:09
fascinating book. But again, we told him about you
23:14
because it's just that good of a song that it just blows.
23:17
Mike and I mind that you're just that it's hopefully when it's re
23:21
released, you take off because dude, like Mike said, I have it
23:25
in several different playlists and it just it just flows.
23:28
It's it just flows with it. It's it's that's how you know
23:32
it's a hit because it just comes up and you automatically start
23:34
singing to it. And then you for me anyway, I'm
23:37
halfway through it. Like fuck, that's Dave again,
23:39
right on. But you don't think about it
23:42
when it first comes on. So if people watching this thing
23:45
in all 85 countries, Google Dave noodle Lord, the Lord and the
23:49
devil, download it, buy it Spotify, Apple Music, wherever
23:53
you can find the thing downloaded, buy it.
23:55
I guarantee you, you will love this song.
23:58
It will be stuck in your head. Sometimes the moments you don't
24:01
want it stuck in your head, but that's how you know it's a good
24:03
song you can't get out of your head.
24:06
Yeah, you said it best, man. Halfway through that song.
24:08
I always say in my head, I know that dude.
24:13
Yeah. You know, it's like, I know that
24:14
dude. That's how good of a song it is.
24:16
It's just like one of my playlist.
24:19
It's number 2. So when I get in my car, if I
24:22
want something to listen to on the way to get something to eat
24:24
and back, I'll always just hit that playlist because I know
24:27
it's right there. Crank it up so everybody in town
24:29
can hear it, of course. It's good, it's good loud too.
24:33
And I'm so I'm excited to hear the new version cause the
24:35
original version is, is badass. But if if the new version is
24:39
more like how you play it live, which we as musicians can
24:41
understand that you can rehearse the song till you're blue in the
24:44
face. But when you play it live, it's
24:46
speed up a little bit. The energy's a little bit more,
24:49
you know, elevated there, a little heavier off the crowd,
24:51
right? You're feeding off the crowd.
24:53
You start to kind of improv certain spots.
24:55
Or I could do this here. I could hold this out now this
24:57
no longer here. I can go up here.
24:58
If I wanted to, I'd go down here.
24:59
I could. So the dynamic changes life.
25:03
You know, that's a good lesson for young musicians from all
25:05
three of us. Don't record your music too
25:08
soon. Go play it and workshop it.
25:11
You know that He just said it best, man.
25:15
You're gonna find things that you didn't anticipate in
25:18
practice. Live is just a whole nother
25:22
level. Chris and I have said this for
25:24
years. It might be 100 practices in one
25:28
show. We always said 10.
25:30
It literally might be 100. Mm hmm.
25:33
It's that important to go play your songs live before you go in
25:36
the studio and record. And see what's what's even
25:38
indicative with that of the like nail nailing the hammer on the
25:41
head. The last band I was in, we never
25:43
played a show live till after it was recorded.
25:45
And once we started playing live, I'm like, oh, I sure did
25:47
it this way, 'cause they didn't want.
25:49
To play live, yeah. So you had first hand, huh?
25:52
I do some. Of the first hand, yeah.
25:54
A lot of my songs are recorded and then I go out and play them
25:57
and then I regret it. So that's what I've I've started
26:00
yeah, finding is that it it's better to have some time on in,
26:05
you know, and in the in the saddle with it in the studio
26:09
before you go, before you go record it.
26:11
There's otherwise you're just trying to recreate some ideas
26:14
you had in the moment and right. Mm, hmm.
26:19
It's you. You don't.
26:19
Like the song I wrote called Liquid Sand, right?
26:22
The song I wrote called Liquid Sandwich is about my, my, my
26:24
journey through alcoholism. OK, OK.
26:27
When we started playing that live wear that because when I
26:31
sing my songs, I sing my songs like I'm I, I feel my songs with
26:34
every I'm sure you're the same as a vocalist and songwriter.
26:37
You feel it with every ounce of your body.
26:39
It's not just you're not going through the motions ever.
26:42
It's it's in in my mind, it's always this first time I'm
26:45
playing the song in front of these people and they have to
26:48
feel the emotion that was there when I wrote it.
26:51
But when just rehearsing it and studio work, you don't get that
26:56
vibe. So when we started playing out,
26:58
and especially with that song, we started playing it live,
27:00
there were so many different things I could do with it
27:02
vocally, with the way the music was and improving and shit.
27:06
There's just like 1000 times better live.
27:08
And the recording version just sucks.
27:09
I mean, it captures the moment of what I wrote about and it has
27:11
a little bit of the energy, but it's fucking doesn't even
27:14
compare. And back then there weren't cell
27:17
phones, you know, it was 2008. So we didn't have the technology
27:21
we have now. We did the Road to Sturgis tour.
27:23
So it it was nothing that was really captured because you just
27:27
had to flip on the stoves and little Nokia's from the Matrix.
27:29
Remember the Nokia phone from the Matrix and it pops up.
27:32
That was the phone technology. So there's no way to capture
27:35
stuff the way you can capture now unless you have this big
27:38
recording set up. And we didn't because we were,
27:40
we were just a nobody band going to Sturgis.
27:43
But it's just, yeah. So I champion every band out
27:47
there. It's great that you can record
27:49
your music, record your music just to learn your music, to
27:52
learn your songs. But then go play live six
27:57
months, do six months worth of shows, whether that's once a
27:59
week or four times a week or whatever the case may be.
28:02
Then go back to the studio. You're going to be amazed the
28:04
difference. That's why I think a lot of the,
28:06
the, the bands that come out like Matchbox 20, right?
28:09
Their first album was phenomenal, but because they
28:11
played those songs for years and years and years, their second
28:13
song, their sophomore projects always flop.
28:15
Why they don't have time to go play live when you're on tour,
28:20
when you, when, when, when the Lord and the devil breaks And,
28:22
and that's going to be your, your encore song after your
28:24
other 14 songs you play, you're not going to have time to
28:28
introduce new music. And when you do, the fans are
28:30
going to be like, OK, beer run. You're right.
28:32
Because they want to hear the hits.
28:34
Yeah. And that's the catch with being
28:36
a band that that starts rising, right?
28:37
Because you got to introduce your new shit.
28:39
But you, you can't really induce your new shit because people
28:42
don't want to hear your new shit.
28:43
They want to hear the shit that's playing on the radio
28:44
right now that got you where you are and you could you know it as
28:49
well as I do. So does Mike.
28:50
When you get those new songs, what's the crowd do?
28:52
Bear run bathroom And you know, so that's the thing.
28:58
It's hard. It's hard.
28:59
So, you know, maybe maybe come up with an alternative name, you
29:02
know, like the the skip the skip Tracy band and then every now
29:06
and then go play live under Skip Tracy.
29:08
I like it. The songs that you know, nobody
29:10
knows who you are. You know, don't wear your cowboy
29:12
hat and sunglasses. Just, you know, maybe pull the
29:14
hair up like a ponytail and, you know, braid the braid the.
29:21
Yeah, I should always call this guy here, you know, jump, you
29:24
know, the hair's all back. It's in a parade.
29:26
Usually when I show up to the show, set up all my gear, I'm
29:29
Dave's roadie, right? And then then I go out and
29:33
change my hat and show back up as the that other guy in the
29:36
picture, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:41
Dave's Roadie. Yeah, Dave's, Dave's Roadie.
29:43
That's a good name. Roadie Dave.
29:45
There you go. Call yourself Roadie Dave as
29:47
your side project and. Then.
29:49
You can and and then get that, get the, get the work up from
29:54
that, you know. That's a great idea and.
29:56
When people come up and then when people come up and talk to
29:59
you in that character, always remain in that character.
30:01
So like when they say, hey, will you, if they talk to you as Dave
30:05
Noodles, just say hey, I'll let him know when I see him.
30:08
Yeah. Yeah, yes.
30:12
That would really throw people for a loop, man.
30:15
Yeah. I've actually said.
30:17
Aren't you? Aren't you?
30:19
Aren't you that guy? No, no, no, no, no, no.
30:21
It's not me. I get that all the time.
30:23
I said no one I've seen. Stop me, I'm not that guy.
30:26
I'm as roadie. I know.
30:28
Yeah, that's awesome. But yeah, that's lesson.
30:31
Let me learn kids. If you're in a band starting out
30:33
dude live shows. It's worth 10 practices all in
30:36
one. Oh, absolutely.
30:38
So with the go ahead. So with that said Dave, because
30:42
the song, because the song is so important, where did you go re
30:45
record it and what was your mentality?
30:48
Because we feel partly responsible in this happening.
30:51
So I want to hear the story. And where was your mind when you
30:54
went in the studio this time with knowing that that song is
30:58
important, I think you understand that as well.
31:00
Where'd you go do it and what was your mindset when you went
31:03
in to do it? Yeah, you should start this
31:06
conversation, Angela. Thank you Chris and Mike for
31:08
pushing me to do so. Well, no.
31:14
So I did the drums over at the Tonic Room.
31:17
You're in Boise, ID this guy's done some good recordings for,
31:23
for a few famous people. I've he's mentioned the names
31:26
and I knew them and I don't, I don't know them very well, but
31:30
but very popular at some point and needed to get some record,
31:37
get some recording done while they were on the road and they
31:40
went there to the Tonic room and anyways, got a pretty cool setup
31:42
for getting live drum sound and he's you got all the right tools
31:48
and, and, and, and I enjoy working and working with him.
31:51
His name's Jason at the Tonic room there in Vista off of Vista
31:56
in Boise. And also I have a good one of
32:01
my, one of my best friends. We, he and I have worked
32:05
together quite a bit and doing some kind of like duo shows and
32:09
that kind of stuff. And, and he has a pretty great
32:12
recording studio and a killer vision for music.
32:17
And so I'm, I'm letting him like help produce me on, on a lot of
32:22
this stuff. Anyway, I, I re recorded all the
32:25
guitars there and, and except for the, the guitar solo on, on
32:32
the Lord of the Lord of the edible, Ronnie Long did that for
32:36
me. He's the new guy in the band.
32:39
And the mindset is just really, you know, make it.
32:45
Those other guys were session players in Nashville.
32:47
So it's going to be great music, whether you know, whether you
32:53
like it or not, it's going to be perfectly just well made.
32:57
And my goal and my mindset was to come in and into the studio
33:03
and play as play as well as they do and and, you know, but have a
33:10
little bit more more guided towards country rock versus like
33:15
country radio. And that's what I got out of my
33:18
band, you know. And and the way that I play
33:21
guitar is a little different than than what you'd hear in in
33:25
out of a Nashville session player anyway.
33:28
But yeah, so that was the idea is, you know, give it a little
33:33
bit more sack. You know, I'm not sure if we
33:37
speed it up because I like the way it sounds, the way that the
33:42
the tempo was. I like playing it live a little
33:45
faster. I like, I think it needs to be
33:48
played live a little faster. But listening to it on the over,
33:52
you know, whatever the car stereo or whatever, it's like
33:56
it's good. It's it's a good tempo.
33:57
So I left that alone betting on a bullet.
34:00
I think, I think, I think we left the tempo the same on that
34:06
too. But I, that was one of those
34:09
ones where I recorded several years ago and I've played it
34:13
live over all these years and I just, I sing it, I sing it
34:19
better. I, I, I've lived with the song
34:22
for so long. I've got it down exactly the way
34:24
I want it in every little spot. Then that's what I recorded.
34:27
And that was the mindset of going in for that.
34:30
How do I I was just happy to be putting out a new song And and
34:35
Andrew Chappell did most of the guitar work on that for me and
34:39
the drums and the bass. He's kind of an all around
34:42
musician. You ever got get a chance to to
34:46
get him on your podcast? I would Andrew Chappell.
34:50
He's pretty imprisoned guy. Along with you on Yeah, follow
34:57
him along with you on Facebook. Dave, if you can make that
35:00
happen, tell him to go register himself as a guest or help him
35:03
do that or whatever. We'd love to have him.
35:05
I I follow his music as well. Oh, OK.
35:08
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:11
I want to show you something funny because I was going to, I
35:13
was going to, I was going to pull up Lord of the Devil.
35:16
OK, this is on YouTube. I just typed in Dave Noodle, the
35:20
Lord and the Devil. Number one is your, is your
35:22
video Dave and #2 is the Chris and Mike show short about your
35:27
song. How crazy is that man?
35:30
I love that, it's awesome. It's outstanding.
35:33
And then, yeah, that's that's like before, like that's, that's
35:38
cool right there. Because I was going to, I was
35:39
going to pull this shit up and just, you know, you know,
35:42
because I like it. I like, that's good.
35:44
I like the song. I sure appreciate you guys
35:47
spreading the word. It's a great song dude, it just
35:51
is. It got stuck in my head from the
35:53
moment I've heard it, and I've heard it probably 200 times
35:56
since then minimum. Uh huh.
36:00
Yeah, I tried to stay true to to the way that the guitars were
36:05
played for the most part, but. This is the line
36:27
I love that dude. I love.
36:29
Now that you explain the line at 3:00 AM in the morning, it hits
36:32
even better. It hits even better because
36:35
knowing the context behind it, yeah, that that's the cool thing
36:39
about it. You don't, you don't give away
36:40
the story of the song, But when you give insights, when you give
36:44
insight that why it was written, That to me is cool because I
36:47
don't like when artists will, you know, they, they die, they,
36:50
they tell the world songs about like, motherfucker, don't do
36:52
that. Everybody has their own
36:53
interpretation. But I love the origin story of
36:57
how it was, how it was written and what, you know, because I've
36:59
had those 3:00 AM moments, man, that they're, they're fucking
37:01
frustrating because if you think you're remembered, you know, you
37:04
won't remember. So you got to get up and get out
37:06
of bed. You got to go write it down.
37:08
Yeah, that's just, I'm telling you.
37:10
And the beginning, it's just a hook.
37:12
It's a hook. The hook.
37:13
You hook from the beginning of that.
37:14
So I'm really excited to hear the new version, the updated
37:17
recorded version, you know, I am.
37:19
I'm super stoked for that. It's it's pretty, it's pretty
37:22
similar, but I think, like I said, a little more balls.
37:24
And also the way that the vocals were mixed in the chorus on that
37:28
original version, it's almost, I wasn't very, I don't know.
37:32
I'm very stoked about the way the the lead vocal just sort of
37:35
disappears into the into the music quite a bit for the
37:38
chorus, which is. The first the first one.
37:40
Yeah. You said that because that's
37:42
something that bothers me about that one too.
37:45
That doesn't happen. It's still good though.
37:47
It's. Still good though.
37:49
OK, but it's still good though. No, I like it.
37:50
It's. Still a good.
37:51
Yeah. Yeah, no, but I like to hear
37:53
things like that because that tells me that he's just as in
37:57
tune with the production value as he is as an artist, right?
38:02
Some artists are not in tune with what should sound good
38:05
because I don't think they have an ear for it.
38:08
Yeah, I would never tell. You that Dave Because it's a
38:11
great song, but I think it's going to be better when I hear
38:15
it the way that now you intended it, for that lead vocal to still
38:19
be there with the background vocals ducked underneath.
38:22
It right? Yeah, Yep, yeah, absolutely.
38:27
Well, I like it better, so hopefully you will too.
38:30
I think I will too. Yeah.
38:33
We will. We like everything from Dave
38:35
Noodle, man. We're fans.
38:40
Well, I, I, I like to listen to the music that I made-up too,
38:44
because, you know, that's all I've always said is like, I like
38:46
making music that I want to listen to.
38:49
So, and, and if that means I'm emulating certain guys or, you
38:54
know, there's, I'm all over the map with my influences,
38:57
including like gangster rap or from the 90s and that kind of
39:00
stuff. But hip hop and R&B and and all
39:04
that and and obviously country and and metal, but yeah, so it
39:13
all makes its way in there and, and it's all based out of some
39:16
kind of music that I liked or liked at one point, so.
39:20
Yeah, yeah. I'm glad you guys agree with me
39:23
on it. Absolutely, man.
39:27
Well. Traditionally, I would not
39:30
consider myself a country music fan unless it's either done in
39:34
the traditional vein or if you start adding the elements of
39:38
rock into it, which you do so well.
39:40
A lot of it's subtle, but it's always there.
39:43
Thank you. And you know, I like to think a
39:45
lot of times my vocal delivery comes from a little more
39:47
influence on the heavier stuff rather than countries
39:52
necessarily. Yes, I, I, no, That's why I like
39:56
that song off the bat, because the, the yeah, the music was
39:59
country, but your voices kind of got that cool little Southern
40:03
rock raspy drawer. Yeah, like a Rod Van Zandt
40:06
delivery morgue. You know, you got that attitude
40:09
that it's that Dave Nudo, you got your personality in there,
40:13
you know? So motherfucker Dave Nudo Chris
40:17
was the. Same way you always knew it was
40:21
him because his attitude came out in the song.
40:24
Yeah, right on my biggest, probably my biggest, like
40:29
influence. Go ahead.
40:32
No, no, you're good. Probably it was like James Hess
40:34
Field and and you know, like Ozzy Osbourne and those kind of
40:38
guys. I just loved that sort of music
40:40
the most. And then I don't think I'll ever
40:44
get into that, you know, death growling kind of stuff.
40:47
But but, you know, heavy music's always been, it's a forefront of
40:51
my, you know, listening since as far back as I can remember.
40:55
But yeah, so there, there's a lot of that influence, you know,
40:59
Chuck Billy from Testament and all those kind of guys.
41:05
I don't know if you guys are into heavier music like that,
41:08
but that's, it's, it's my favorite.
41:11
I'm I used to be a Metallica fan, but more like a I'm more
41:15
like a metalhead nowadays. OK, so here's a OK, so here's a
41:23
question. OK, because this this is this
41:26
isn't fascinating. Your answer is going to
41:27
fascinate me. You, you, you just like like
41:31
slid off all the metal talking time in your metal head, but
41:34
you're doing country. Fucking arthritis and stuff, you
41:39
know, in the neck there. Here's what happened.
41:43
I I was in in 2010, I was the front man and I played guitar,
41:47
not lead guitar, but rhythm guitar for a band I made that I
41:52
formed with a couple of other dudes called Prime Melodic.
41:55
And we went to Reno and played at the Knitting Factory there.
42:00
And I came back with a tink in my neck that never went away.
42:05
So I, I was like, man, I can't do this forever.
42:10
Plus I've been writing songs. I started out in the country
42:12
band, country rock and Blues kind of cover band.
42:16
And I wrote a few tunes with those guys and they didn't
42:18
really want to pursue original music, so to speak.
42:22
So I kind of moved on, got into a little more heavier stuff,
42:26
Hard Rock called 12 Gauge Fuse, and then but I'd all along been
42:31
writing songs with my acoustic guitar in my hand.
42:34
So you can turn pretty much anything you write on an
42:38
acoustic guitar into something the country folks would like,
42:42
you know, country music lovers would like.
42:44
Then that's why I call it country rock, because it's
42:47
always based off of all of that stuff rather than traditional
42:51
country music necessarily. Yeah.
42:56
Thanks. Cool.
42:57
All right. OK, good answer, man.
43:01
Good answer. That was very close.
43:03
Yeah. Yeah, that was very close to our
43:05
style, Dave. I mean, when Metal Blade came to
43:09
us, the ANR Rep here was his comment.
43:13
I I can't put my finger on your sound.
43:17
There's something unique about it.
43:19
It it shouldn't be unique, but I just can't figure it out.
43:23
Chris had a very Southern drawl to his voice.
43:27
My guitar playing was basically the Blues with the distortion
43:31
cranked up right. Increase the tempo and turn the
43:36
distortion up and now you got rock'n'roll or metal or whatever
43:40
you want to call it. But it's it's all based in that,
43:43
like you said, a lot of those songs I initially wrote on an
43:46
acoustic guitar because my teacher told me if it sounds
43:50
good without amplification, it's a good song.
43:53
But if you're hiding behind the distortion and then you strip
43:56
all that away, you got to strip it all away because sometimes it
44:00
sucks, right? Yeah.
44:02
So so I always started either playing my electric not plugged
44:06
in, or I would grab an acoustic and make sure that that chord
44:09
combination sounded good or those notes worked right there.
44:13
So like you said, if you slow that down just a little bit now
44:15
you basically have country slash southern alt rock or whatever,
44:20
right? It becomes the Black Crows or
44:24
Molly Hatchet or. Nemesis.
44:27
That's a hell of a list to be in, thanks.
44:29
Guys, Dave Nudo. Dave Nudo, right direction.
44:38
Well, nemesis was us, man. We're not.
44:40
We're, you know, we're not. We're working on it.
44:42
Climbing the world like you are right now.
44:43
Yeah, I had a couple broken rungs in the ladder, so.
44:46
Cool to have you on and talk about music and shit.
44:48
Yeah, yeah. Well, it's cool to talk to
44:51
people who are going through the same thing.
44:54
What's that, Mike? It's, it's cool to talk to
44:56
people who are going through the same thing that we did when we
44:59
were on our way up. You know, we understand your
45:01
journey. We know where you're at.
45:02
And to have watched what you've done since you were on here the
45:06
first time, it's obvious you're working your ass off because.
45:09
Yeah, you're moving out there more.
45:11
I see you. Did you make a move recently?
45:16
It's, well, there's a lot more music.
45:18
Than. There, there were up in
45:21
Cambridge where I was living, you know, and I'm a small town
45:24
guy. It's, it's the way I like to
45:26
live. I, I know everybody in town and
45:28
that kind of stuff. But you know, yeah, it's a
45:32
little harder getting around with all the traffic here.
45:35
But but there's a lot more places to play and I could stay
45:39
busy every, you know, not, not every day of the week, but every
45:42
week. So that's this is the only thing
45:45
I do to pay the bills. So it's it's.
45:49
Yeah, that's good. Yeah, just got to, got to be
45:52
where? Where where it's happening helps
45:54
and. Not to mention, you know, when I
45:56
met my, my, my wife, she lived in, you know, 2 hours a
46:01
different direction and we kind of met right here in the middle.
46:05
And that's where we planted our planted our feet for for now,
46:10
anyway. Two years.
46:17
How long you guys been together? Two years.
46:20
Yeah, yeah, well, I yeah, the months just RIP on by, but we
46:26
got married last June and so we're coming up on an
46:30
anniversary. I know that'll be cool.
46:32
But yeah, she she's been such a benefit to helping.
46:37
They're not man me get you know, stay busy.
46:40
Stay focused and and just always, always there as a
46:46
support. It's really nice.
46:48
Not, you know, that was the only way it was ever going to work
46:52
out. So.
46:53
That's cool. Yeah.
46:58
Well, yeah, Yeah. I I told, I told my wife on our
47:01
first date. I like, I'm a musician.
47:03
This is what I want to do with my life, you know, when the
47:05
whole game, you know, and then she's, you know, she's still
47:09
with me 31 years later. So it's you know, it's also to
47:13
have somebody that supports you and believes in you and you
47:17
know, realizes that you're not just some PO some PO dunk.
47:20
That's that, you know, that really can't go anywhere with
47:24
what you want to do, you know, because.
47:27
There's well, and you got to, you got to give those women
47:30
credit because there's so many guys who say, I want to be a
47:36
musician and then never do the work, right.
47:38
Yeah, there's a lot of wannabes out there.
47:41
Back in the day. We're all about the same age.
47:42
We called them Posers, right? Yeah.
47:45
Poser. We actually went out there and
47:47
did the work, man. We played for the bartender and
47:51
the guy sweeping the floor on Monday night at 11:00 at night
47:54
or Sunday night, worse yet, at 10:00 at night when nobody's
47:57
there. You know, we paid our dues.
47:59
We played hundreds, thousands of shows where nobody was there,
48:04
and then all of a sudden, everybody was there.
48:06
That's right. Then all of a sudden, you're
48:07
opening up for names that people have heard of, household names,
48:12
you know, and the show is packed at Saturday night at 7:00.
48:15
You're the opening act. And you look out and you're
48:18
like, man, I did it. You know, I, I, I found a
48:23
brotherhood who was of common mind.
48:25
And you know, here we are. That's an amazing feeling.
48:29
Chris has said it 100 times on this show.
48:31
It's something that you're never going to know what that feels
48:33
like unless you've been there. Yep, Yep.
48:37
And there's nothing, there's nothing better than than getting
48:39
there. Get being the opening act and
48:42
getting the crowd, Yeah. No doubt.
48:44
Cheering and applauding and just like, holy shit, who are these
48:47
guys? You know, that's that's the
48:49
greatest, that's the greatest feeling in the world because
48:51
they came to see somebody else. And then we walk on the stage.
48:54
Yeah, and show up with your A game too and.
48:55
Then they have no choice but like holy shit who are those
48:58
guys? You just see that change on
49:01
their. Face.
49:03
Yeah, you do see on their faces, absolutely.
49:05
You know, because you get that skill.
49:07
What the fuck are these guys? Wow, Oh wow.
49:14
Hey, they can play. Yeah, it's that I like to.
49:17
Hetfield has a thing where he talks about when he's on stage,
49:20
he'll find one fan in the crowd that he can lock eyes with, and
49:24
then that's just that's his moment for the rest of the show.
49:27
He just knows where that person is and any any times he feels
49:30
whatever he feels, he just finds that guy and locks eyes.
49:33
I've heard. That and you can't tell.
49:35
You can't tell because I I used to lock eyes with people they
49:37
can't tell you're locking eyes with because the lights are on
49:41
our face. So they really, we really can't
49:43
see them as much as they think we can and vice versa because
49:47
there's the ghost. We're just this, this shower of
49:50
light of white light, right? There's the ghost, the ghost,
49:52
see the ghost. I got to do this to get the
49:54
ghost to go away, go away ghost. So that was that was always cool
49:59
watching watching people, watching people's reactions
50:02
because they always had that. You know, who the fuck are these
50:05
guys? What's depend?
50:06
I want to see, you know, And then by the time we got into our
50:10
third, finished our third song, which.
50:13
Let's just see what they have to offer that all.
50:15
Right. That was pretty.
50:17
These guys. What's next?
50:21
Right, right. Because that's, and that's the
50:23
vulnerability of a musician, right?
50:24
You do the same thing when you play.
50:25
All these games open up. Some people don't know who you
50:27
are. That's the beauty of getting to
50:29
open up for a, for a pretty mainstream band, because you're
50:33
getting in front of people that have never heard of you before.
50:35
And if they like you, that's a pretty good thing.
50:39
I got this song called So Far So Good that that I wrote
50:42
specifically to get the crowd involved, you know, and, and
50:45
that's what I get them to chant with, not chant with me, but to
50:48
say when it's the time of the song, you know, it's the chorus
50:51
and it's the hook. So.
50:52
But yeah. And I got 4000 people out in
50:55
front of me ready to watch Bradley Gilbert and I, and they,
51:01
they all yelled it. They all yelled.
51:02
So far, so good when I asked them to.
51:04
So that was awesome. It's like, OK, this is this is a
51:08
good idea. I'm going to keep doing it.
51:10
That's awesome. You know, I'm just waiting for
51:13
it to be on the radio. And every town I go to,
51:16
everybody already knows it. So they, I don't have to tell
51:19
them. Tell them the name of the song
51:20
and that kind of stuff. Yep.
51:23
Yeah. Yeah.
51:26
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Best feeling in the world, man.
51:29
When the crowd sings back. To you, no doubt.
51:31
Best feeling in the world for sure.
51:34
Nothing can match that. Oh, because then, you know, you
51:37
got that. I have mine going.
51:38
We're all on the same. Page you can and if you can do
51:42
or say things that that makes that that large amount of people
51:46
feel something and and move with you on it.
51:49
That's that's pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to Bella
51:54
Cheetah. There's Gambino getting me.
51:57
Absolutely, man. Out further than I can get
52:00
myself into a little bit bigger venues than I would get myself
52:04
into. That's all still kind of in the
52:08
works now that I've got some new music to, to put out and, and I
52:12
think, I think things are, the wheels are starting to turn for
52:15
that kind of thing too. So looking forward to hopefully
52:18
getting on some kind of tours with with some other folks and
52:22
playing for some bigger crowds. Shout out to Bruce.
52:26
Call him up. Yeah, I haven't.
52:28
I haven't talked to Bruce in a while.
52:30
Yeah. Bruce.
52:31
Must be really busy on he needs to talk every week man.
52:34
Making changes, you know, finally down to.
52:36
I will. Yeah.
52:37
He's got, I think he's got all of his stuff moved over to where
52:42
he's living now instead of where it was.
52:44
So now he's ready to rock. Cool.
52:50
Cool. Yeah, I like that guy.
52:54
Yeah, Bruce is good people, man. Right.
52:56
He's really good people. He why?
52:57
I mean, you know he. Introduces to you?
52:59
Absolutely. You know, that says something
53:01
right there. You know, I got this.
53:06
I got this country story named Dave Noodle.
53:08
Man, you're going to love him and you get him on the show,
53:10
Chris, Just get him on the show. I promise dude, I promise.
53:14
He was right. Turns out he was right.
53:16
Yeah, yeah, I think we we had about a month and a half of
53:19
straight Velo Cheetah musicians. Nice.
53:23
It was crazy. It was just like this swarm of
53:25
this swarm of artists from. Bruce Well, I sure appreciate.
53:27
That I really you. You're the we're the one that
53:29
stood out the most to us. I don't know why, but you know,
53:33
you are. Yeah.
53:34
Yeah. Well, after talking to him for
53:36
as long as we have, it's pretty clear that we grew up listening
53:40
to pretty similar kinds of music.
53:42
Yeah. And we approached the music
53:45
business absolutely, almost an identical standpoint.
53:48
True. You know, I, I just think no
53:51
disrespect to any other artist that ever comes on here, but the
53:55
reason that we praise you so much is you get to know people
53:58
after you talk to them on an intimate level like this.
54:02
You know, you're learning about your life, how you came up
54:05
through it and just the little Nuggets that I pulled out as far
54:09
as you liked metal. That's where my heart lies.
54:13
Half the time I sit down to play my guitar, Dave, I start playing
54:16
some what people would call pretty beautiful music.
54:21
But when I turn on music, a lot of times I gravitate towards
54:24
Pantera and Testament and Megadeth and Metallica.
54:27
Absolutely. You know, it's it, it makes you
54:31
want to move, you know, but I also gravitate towards Marvin
54:34
Gaye and Motown music and, you know, closet disco fan and I
54:43
just like music that makes you want to move.
54:46
But I agree with you that half the time I pick up my guitar to
54:49
write music now I want to write what I'm feeling in my.
54:52
Soul. And in my a lot of times that's
54:55
not. Yeah, I'm the same way.
54:57
And then other times I pick up a guitar and I go straight back to
55:01
when I was playing for, you know, those other bands play
55:05
those heavy wrists, and I love that too.
55:09
And I just love it. Oh, a million percent.
55:14
Yeah. I like music that I like, riffs
55:17
that scare people, you know? I always.
55:19
Found that. I was.
55:21
I always found that so hilarious that you know just the tone of
55:24
the music people put a name on. Like now this is devil music.
55:29
Or is that right? It's just, it's just music, man,
55:33
right? We were just talking about it.
55:35
If I turn the distortion off now, it's not so.
55:38
Scary. Before I had an amp that would
55:43
do that, I was like, man, this isn't scary at all.
55:46
This is, this is an E chord and an F chord.
55:48
That's what that is. Well, is it 12/30, 12:30 my
55:56
time? What else?
55:59
What you guys, what else what you guys talk about?
56:00
I it's it's well. It's no, I just.
56:03
It's 1130 minutes. Yeah, it's 11:30 AM my time.
56:05
We can wrap this up if you want, man.
56:07
I know you got shit to do in your front yard.
56:09
Your wife's been, you know. OK, that's all I was worried
56:11
about. I'm.
56:11
Good. I still got I still got like 5
56:13
minutes before I got to bounce. So if do you guys want to wrap
56:16
things up and and yeah, yeah. So it's up to you guys.
56:20
We can keep going. We can keep talking.
56:21
We can. Hey man, I'm, you know, I'm
56:23
getting out of yard work and all.
56:25
That kind of fun stuff. So you let us know.
56:27
We're good either way brother. I Oh this is true.
56:33
This is true. So like you got to keep Dave on.
56:37
4 hours would be the longest episode ever.
56:42
We'll try, we'll try and bone the rogue and die at about 12%.
56:46
So maybe not 4 hours. Well, we can wrap up with Chris
56:58
then. Yeah, you're welcome back here
57:01
anytime. Yeah, anytime.
57:02
In fact, you need to come back once, once you got some stuff,
57:05
that stuff released the new versions of both those two
57:07
songs. We have had to come back.
57:09
All right, We can, we can pimp that stuff out and tell people
57:11

59:08
Yeah, I get killed one of these days.
59:10
I swear to God I can't see it. Now.
59:15
If you're feeling, if you're feeling depressed and suicide, I
59:17
don't know how you could feel depressed and suicidal if you
59:20
watch our show when it comes out.
59:21
So maybe just do that. Just just stay alive to watch
59:25
our show twice a week because that'll just keep you in the
59:27
right mindset. But if you are struggling and
59:30
and you're having a bad day, go run, go journal, go screaming a
59:33
pillow, go find someone to talk to you.
59:35
If you can't find somebody to talk to, text 988 somebody
59:38
standing by, they're willing to talk you off that Cliff.
59:40
Recently, if you watch storage wars, Daryl Sheets played
59:44
lollipop with the with a handgun and killed himself lived in Lake
59:47
Havasu City. His son lives somewhere around
59:50
me in Queen Creek. And I just I don't I don't get
59:52
the mindset with that. There's you know, you know, his
59:55
son would have talked to him and there was a image of him a
59:58
couple hours prior to where he was out in the community walking
1:00:01
his dogs. It's just.
1:00:03
It just makes no sense to me, man.
1:00:05
Just just just don't do it. Don't leave a hole in somebody
1:00:06
else's heart. It's it's you know you're going
1:00:08
to run their lives because you take your own.
1:00:10
So text 988. Somebody's there to help you
1:00:13
make help you feel better. Tomorrow's always a better day
