  Don is here what's up southeast of heaven, my podcast compadre
• 1:00
  sorry I wasn't as responsive as you may have needed me to be on
• 1:04
  the texts this week. I am not at home.
• 1:08
  I'm at my girlfriend's where I've been working all day and
• 1:11
  I've been working like a bastard.
• 1:15
  Dillinger Compound is here. What's up, What's up, what's up?
• 1:19
  I am not making it to that Dillinger Escape Plan show in
• 1:23
  December here in San Francisco. I'm pretty sad about that.
• 1:26
  But the old day? Well.
• 1:29
  I know, really like when the door opened.
• 1:33
  That was so much fun. So let's see.
• 1:38
  Nope, ready yet for that. I don't know why I did not
• 1:41
  close. You all right?
• 1:42
  I don't know what it's doing. A basti.
• 1:46
  Only me, only me. Sacrilege.
• 1:53
  So anywho, I think we're live everywhere but TikTok.
• 1:56
  I am still trying to get TikTok to work, so we may just issue
• 2:01
  the pleasantries and the vigories and just do the thing.
• 2:06
  Give me one second while I get this right.
• 2:12
  It's not loading my cover. How's everybody doing?
• 2:15
  I can't believe it is December. Holy shit, where did this whole
• 2:20
  year go? Absolutely fucking buck wild.
• 2:25
  But yeah, and it looks like we're here on TikTok finally.
• 2:31
  And the gram? Trying to move.
• 2:34
  Myself a little bit so I'm in the correct angle.
• 2:37
  I don't quite the home. Studio capabilities here, but I
• 2:40
  brought. All my gear with me.
• 2:42
  Oh, no. Jim Brewer.
• 2:44
  Yeah, he's pretty unfunny, I'm not going to lie.
• 2:46
  He used. To be awesome.
• 2:48
  And then he went kind of batshit crazy.
• 2:50
  I'm going to drink a liquid death.
• 2:52
  I need a refreshment. How's everybody doing?
• 2:55
  I'm going to talk. About all the rock and metal
• 2:57
  news. And stuff that happened this
• 2:58
  week, slurping sounds, Yeah. Lots to cover this week.
• 3:10
  Lots to cover. Lots to cover.
• 3:21
  Omar wanted me to remind me of something I already know.
• 3:26
  Hatton or Beyond For will be present at the show.
• 3:28
  That's a total bummer because I cannot be.
• 3:31
  Present at that show for personal reasons, which sucks.
• 3:34
  My last show of the year is probably this Sunday.
• 3:37
  This Saturday I'm going to the Ripple Music 15th anniversary
• 3:41
  party. But yeah.
• 3:44
  Anywho, let's let's dispense with the pleasantries and get on
• 3:48
  with the the business of the show.
• 3:50
  Let's see if this works in this angle hopefully and I'm being
• 3:53
  seen clearly. I've gone to a winter motif
• 3:57
  after the November. Motif of the people that founded
• 4:01
  this country and I don't mean white Quakers, but anyway, and
• 4:05
  you can see my prominent podcast mic right there in the.
• 4:11
  Strat. You know.
• 4:13
  We're doing our best here. We always start.
• 4:15
  With the announcements, and there are some tough ones to
• 4:18
  start the week with, just a reminder, we are giving away
• 4:22
  tickets to see God Forbid in Brooklyn a week from Sunday,
• 4:26
  December 14th. That show now includes Overcast.
• 4:29
  You'll hear us mention it again. Nora has dropped off the tour.
• 4:33
  Mark. Badger is here.
• 4:34
  What's up, Sir? Great to see you.
• 4:35
  On the tick of the top. Thanks for being here.
• 4:37
  We're doing our. Weekly show a little bit late
• 4:39
  today. But we're doing our.
• 4:42
  Part if you're in the tri-state area and you want to see God
• 4:45
  forbid bleeding through Darkest Hour and now Overcast featuring
• 4:49
  members of Shadows Fall, one of the original American metal core
• 4:53
  bands. Definitely enter the win on our
• 4:57
  post on Instagram. Still trying finding the good
• 5:02
  angle for this light here. All right, not too bad, Okie.
• 5:06
  Dokie man Steve Cropper Yep, live Paul Diano.
• 5:10
  I saw that too just now. Thank you for reminding me.
• 5:14
  We'll talk. I'll get that story up tonight,
• 5:16
  Steve. Cropper, probably one of the
• 5:18
  greatest guitarists in American history, passed away this.
• 5:20
  Week at the age of 80. 4 You know him best.
• 5:23
  From Booker T and the M GS. And Neil Young and Blues
• 5:29
  Brothers movie and band and you know, just, you know, he lived a
• 5:34
  long life. He's an indelible fingerprint on
• 5:37
  American soul R&B. Blues guitar.
• 5:40
  Incredible. Green onions, bro.
• 5:42
  Green onions forever. More.
• 5:44
  Really incredible stuff. Really incredible and I'm very
• 5:48
  sad. But 84 he lived.
• 5:49
  A long life, 10 years since Scott Weiland.
• 5:53
  Passed away from best known of Stone Temple Pilots and his
• 5:56
  solo. Career, but also the incredible
• 5:58
  velvet revolver. And a bunch of other things he
• 6:01
  was in and, you know, just seems hard to believe now that it's 10
• 6:04
  years since he died. Was 10 years ago yesterday.
• 6:08
  Oh my God. Horrible.
• 6:11
  Lying piece of shit. Is here on TikTok.
• 6:13
  What an. Interesting choice of a NUM do
• 6:17
  social media. You've got a funny or
• 6:22
  interesting name. I'm probably going to talk about
• 6:27
  it. Oh man, Puerto Rican Mike.
• 6:29
  There are many Puerto Rican Mike's in New York City, but
• 6:31
  Puerto Rican Mike of District 9 was a foundational New York
• 6:35
  hardcore and metal artist. District 9 was a band.
• 6:38
  That was how it influential to me and my band aids.
• 6:41
  They were a band that made other bands believe we could actually
• 6:45
  do this. They came from the ghetto and
• 6:49
  they rocked and they played. All over the world.
• 6:53
  Along with other bands like Irate and Billy Club Sandwich
• 6:57
  and that's the like. I was in the next generation of
• 7:00
  band downs from them and very sad to hear about my guy.
• 7:04
  He had a heart attack and he was put in the Hospice care and he
• 7:07
  passed away. Very, very sad.
• 7:10
  Very nice tribute to him by Danny Diablo.
• 7:14
  On social media, which I thought was, you know.
• 7:17
  Nice and the sensitive side of hardcore Danny.
• 7:21
  This is a tough one too. There's a Canadian band called
• 7:26
  Calabra and I'm probably saying that wrong, but their bassist
• 7:29
  who was incredible, Adrian Mahoney, died suddenly this
• 7:32
  week. A young person apparently was a
• 7:35
  bad at. They were a progressive metal
• 7:37
  band and she passed away. There is going to be a week for
• 7:41
  her on December 12th with an exchange from 6 to 10. 30 I'll
• 7:49
  see if I can pass this information.
• 7:50
  Regina, SK. So Western Canada also the home
• 7:54
  of Ryan Reynolds for some reason but yeah, super sad, very young,
• 7:59
  don't know what happened. Bowie also.
• 8:00
  Died 10 years ago. Yep, that's.
• 8:01
  Coming and Lemmy's anniversary. Hey, Melissa's here.
• 8:05
  The love of my. Life.
• 8:07
  And that yeah, man, Bowie also. Never really like 20. 15. 2016
• 8:11
  was just unbelievable man. Prince and George Michael and
• 8:15
  Bowie and Lemmy seem like 1 after another after another.
• 8:20
  Please protect Dolly Parton and Billy Joel and people like that.
• 8:24
  Even Springsteen. You know, for real.
• 8:28
  Just. Please take care of them.
• 8:31
  This is another one poor. Stacy was known as a rapper from
• 8:34
  Miami. Trap rapper, but he also
• 8:38
  collaborated with a lot of metal.
• 8:39
  Artists and punk artists. And he really loved rock music.
• 8:42
  Skull Basher's here. What's up, Skull?
• 8:43
  Basher and Marian Orr and Vanessa you.
• 8:46
  What up, what up? What up the police?
• 8:50
  Suspect a drug. Overdose or a suicide is a very
• 8:54
  convoluted story. TMZ has the story apparently
• 8:58
  when his body was. Found by the police who were
• 9:00
  doing a welfare. Check there was a discharged
• 9:03
  gun. And his baby Mama and baby were
• 9:08
  there. And then they took the baby Mama
• 9:11
  into custody and put the kid in child welfare, which can't be a
• 9:15
  good thing for anybody. And there had been signs of drug
• 9:19
  use and neglect. I don't have all the details.
• 9:24
  And I'm really sorry he's going because he was a very talented
• 9:26
  guy. I'm not big into trap rap and
• 9:29
  usually any rap with auto tune just, you know, curls up my
• 9:34
  pubes even tighter and makes my testes go up into my belly.
• 9:37
  But you know, I'm sad another young person has passed away.
• 9:43
  And I I. Hope the kid is OK and I hope
• 9:45
  the baby Mama gets some help but she's under.
• 9:48
  Arrest for child. Welfare endangerment.
• 9:50
  I talked about Adrian already. Also celebrating would have
• 9:55
  celebrated a birthday yesterday, would have been Ozzy, his
• 9:58
  family. Placed a big display at the
• 10:00
  Black Sabbath Bridge where everybody gathered during his
• 10:03
  funeral and before and after. And they put up a happy birthday
• 10:06
  message to him, which I thought was very sweet.
• 10:08
  They miss him. We all miss him.
• 10:10
  This has been just an unbelievable loss for the rock
• 10:12
  and metal community and the globe.
• 10:14
  You know, he was a transcended rock and metal and really, you
• 10:20
  know, was a pop culture icon. And it's just very sad.
• 10:24
  Without him. Not passed away and celebrating
• 10:28
  birthdays this week. Bill steer a carcass.
• 10:31
  Nick Nick's. Father's band Nick Cameron's
• 10:33
  Father's band. Bill Steer, a great guitar
• 10:35
  player. The original Megadeth lead
• 10:39
  guitarist Chris Poland is 61 this week.
• 10:47
  Yeah, I can't. I can't fuck with the rap,
• 10:50
  Michael. I can't.
• 10:51
  Maybe you can turn me on to somebody that doesn't suck, but.
• 10:54
  Every rapper I've ever heard with little or Young in their
• 10:56
  name sucks. Ass I can't fucking help it.
• 10:59
  Brad Delson of Linkin. Park had a birthday this week.
• 11:03
  Today is the 45th anniversary of the original breakup of Led
• 11:08
  Zeppelin following the death of John Bonham.
• 11:11
  They had decided not to carry on without him.
• 11:15
  It's got a piece of heaven. Hey kids, I just learned I had
• 11:17
  to refresh my screen like a dumb ass.
• 11:19
  I know. How old are you?
• 11:21
  Jesus. Anyway, Led Zeppelin.
• 11:23
  And shizzle, that's funny, my nizzle.
• 11:27
  And also today in history, the casino in Switzerland in
• 11:37
  Montreux burned to the ground, later immortalized in the.
• 11:40
  Song Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple.
• 11:42
  Pretty fucking interesting. I did not know.
• 11:46
  That was. Today, but I was 10 years old.
• 11:51
  Also celebrating a birthday this week.
• 11:53
  Vinny Dombrowski of Sponge, The Lucid and other projects.
• 11:57
  I know Melissa's a huge fan. I feel like I didn't recognize
• 12:01
  him in this photo and I had a look at it like 10 times because
• 12:04
  he's wearing like a weird trucker hat and I just always
• 12:06
  think of him as a very good looking dude that's not dressed
• 12:08
  down. But he always has like a very
• 12:10
  stylish dress sense and pretty cool hair.
• 12:13
  And here he's. Wearing like a trucker hat.
• 12:19
  I like that joke. Though very funny, I just looked
• 12:22
  at my thing and found out I'm ASAP.
• 12:23

  Entertain people on the Internet and do some unbiased cool.

  Music news. Metal News.
• 13:21
  Dillinger compound says Osborne's another prick in the
• 13:23
  wall. I have it in the news.
• 13:24
  I tried to get 1. Completely immature and
• 13:26
  ridiculous. You did, Waters paying
• 13:28
  attention. Sorry, Sharon, he isn't.
• 13:30
  I got to tell you, I'm going to talk about it.
• 13:31
  Again in a second, in a few minutes as a.
• 13:34
  Humongous Pink Floyd fan Pink Floyd is my favorite band ever.

  Not very metal, but. Pink Floyd is my favorite band
• 13:39
  ever and I thought the share the chair was the the shirt was a.
• 13:42
  Great. Actually fucking great.
• 13:45
  I don't want to really have Ozzy pissing on my favorite band.
• 13:48
  And Pink Floyd is much more than much more than, you know, Rodger
• 13:56
  only. And Rodger does not represent
• 13:57
  us. Oh, hey.

  Poor Stacy. You know, I was even interested
• 15:11
  in interviewing poor Stacy at one point.
• 15:13
  To discuss the collabs they did with asking Alexandra and Duane,
• 15:19
  who I'm a big fan of, who mixes kind of R&B and rap and punk
• 15:24
  rock. And I'm really a big fan of
• 15:25
  Duane, swords, Dragons and metal.
• 15:27
  Remember gauntlet legends? Dude, I love gauntlet.
• 15:30
  Valkyrie is about to die. I was forever the barbarian.

  Anyway, there's. Our.

  our podcast on vinyl and. But I appreciate you being here,
• 15:59
  friend. New friend.
• 16:01
  All right, it's time to talk about features.
• 16:03
  And for me to stop yammering. As you know when it was just
• 16:06
  black. Friday giving Tuesday Small
• 16:08
  business Saturdays Shop small Monday.
• 16:11
  Whatever you were, the wizard, the wizard was.
• 16:14
  Dope. He could cast spells.
• 16:16
  I know the shopping is over, and I know that commercialism is
• 16:19
  gross. And I just went out and talked
• 16:21
  about how economics are kind of, you know, keeping people down.
• 16:25
  But if you're looking for gifts. For the holidays.
• 16:27
  If you're looking for something for yourself, treat yourself.
• 16:30
  And check out our holiday gift guide.
• 16:31
  It's not just Black Friday only, it's for everything and not.
• 16:35
  Just things that we're affiliate partners in, but a lot of bands
• 16:38
  and cool collabs and concept coffees and graphic novels and
• 16:41
  comic books and home decor for Goths and metal heads and all
• 16:45
  kinds of stuff. Makeup concerts.
• 16:49
  You found oh, Andrew Lee controversy.
• 16:50
  Thanks. A lot of people were shitting on
• 16:52
  me and Andrew Lee for that and also for my next thing I'm about
• 16:55
  to talk about. But people in my comments salty
• 16:59
  as fuck because I came for Rick Biano.
• 17:01
  Listen man, I'm a big Rick Biano fan.
• 17:03
  If you saw my live stream Monday, Rick Biano a couple of
• 17:07
  weeks ago says where are the metal heads at?
• 17:08
  They're all gone. Rick's using only Spotify to
• 17:11
  measure popularity and importance and I think that's
• 17:14
  fucking stupid and doesn't account for the vast.
• 17:17
  Number of bands that are not. Important to Spotify that are
• 17:20
  metal, especially underground metal and death metal and do
• 17:23
  metal and black metal that none of which registers.
• 17:26
  As a Spotify thing, so. You know of course his boomer
• 17:29
  ass fans. Came and defended his.
• 17:31
  Boomer ass and I love Rick and I respect Rick.
• 17:33
  Rick has gone to bat for. Youtubers.
• 17:35
  About copyright strikes. Rick is an.
• 17:37
  Anti AI person as am I. I'm not ignorant about it, but I
• 17:41
  just. Don't think it should be
• 17:42
  overwhelming and taking over. Everything.
• 17:45
  The auto gives me acid reflux. The auto probably has acid
• 17:48
  reflux and a leaky bum hole. I hate to love that guy.
• 17:54
  I love to hate to love Megan. Well, you know.
• 17:57
  Sounds like somebody else we know.
• 17:58
  Anyway. Also this week, I interviewed
• 18:01
  Paulo Greg Aletto from Trivium that ran on our YouTube and our
• 18:05
  podcasts. Go check it out when you're done
• 18:06
  watching this show. He's got a crazy porn stash.
• 18:09
  Like almost like, you know, wildly exaggerated mustache,
• 18:15
  like a Lanny McDonald goon mustache that would have made
• 18:18
  Nick Cameron proud. And here in San Francisco, we
• 18:21
  call that a com catcher. But anyway, he's talking.
• 18:24
  About their new EP Struck Dead, out now on Roadrunner Records.
• 18:27
  Trivium was formerly the Ghost Co album of the year for their
• 18:29
  last album, In the Court of the Dragon.
• 18:31
  They're working on their next album now for release, I assume
• 18:35
  late next year. Really good interview also.
• 18:38
  This is really important to me and really special.
• 18:41
  I interviewed Doctor Steven Payne and Chucky.
• 18:43
  Brown. They are two of the three minds
• 18:44
  behind the Uptown Rumble exhibition at the Bronx County
• 18:48
  Historical Society in New York City.
• 18:50
  In my hometown of the Bronx, NY on Bainbridge Ave.
• 18:53
  If you're in New York City and you love rock and metal, you
• 18:56
  need to go check this out. District 9 was one of the bands
• 18:59
  featured. They didn't know Mike was going
• 19:00
  to pass away. I just talked about.
• 19:02
  Mike but District 9 anthrax kiss Steven Tyler Rivera.
• 19:07
  Smith, who's from. Yonkers, like a few feet away

  OK, now it's time for the news rundown.
• 21:57
  And every week when we start the news rundown, we start with
• 21:59
  metal festivals. This is what we do.
• 22:01
  We are covering 2 metal festivals.

  Chandler, AZ Punk rock Christmas brought to you by brouhaha and

  Vandals including Josh Freeze, Authority 0, Voodoo Glow Skulls,
• 22:45

• 23:00
  weekend. We are covering this.
• 23:02
  Going to be a big preview on the site of this festival.
• 23:05
  I am pumped. Also, Beyond the Gates announced
• 23:08
  their full line up this week. Tickets are on sale now for
• 23:10
  that. And if you want to party in the
• 23:12
  forest in Norway in July. Sounds like a blast to me.
• 23:16
  Clemosh festival has been announced.
• 23:19
  This is a. Cleveland death metal festival a
• 23:21
  lot of death metal one offers and.
• 23:22
  Bests Dead Lands and unhealthy and unhinged and a bunch of
• 23:29
  other Lone Wolf, Akira, a bunch of other bands.
• 23:30
  This kind of looks like also a banger.
• 23:33
  This is coming up next weekend. Also this weekend decibel metal
• 23:36
  and beer fest after bath and blood incantation, all your
• 23:39
  headliners. Damn sick I got to get out to.
• 23:42
  Denver for this one year after some tickets are already on
• 23:46
  sale. They should be dropping their
• 23:47
  line up very soon as well as Incarceration around the same
• 23:51
  time. Mojave Experience, which Ghost
• 23:54
  Cult will be covering, has announced their full lineup.
• 23:57
  You know that we were doing a live stream every week sharing
• 24:00
  about their. Lineup and everything and I'm
• 24:02
  really. Excited about this festival also
• 24:04
  because it tickles. My little funny bone for Stoner
• 24:07
  doom and doom metal. Friday night is at Mojave Gold
• 24:12
  with. Mario, Wally and the Rubber
• 24:15
  Snake Charmers featuring Sean Wheeler, The Freaks, Arthur Say

  in The Rift Killers, Baracho, Insomniac and Saxon.
• 24:22
  And Saturday at Joshua Tree Park Band show is going to be Dead
• 24:26
  Meadow Earthless. And a ton of other acid.
• 24:29
  Witch Jesus Christ. Acid King.
• 24:32
  Tom, let's talk about the insane price of the rush tickets.
• 24:35
  We did a whole thing on this. We did a whole thing on the
• 24:38
  concert tickets and there's, you know, let's talk for a second
• 24:41
  about this. The UK just banned basically
• 24:46
  dynamic pricing. So if you buy a ticket at face
• 24:49
  value, you cannot resell it for more money than it was purchased
• 24:53
  for now, as Nick Cameron mentioned on the upcoming
• 24:56
  Glacial Musical podcast airing now.
• 25:01
  Ticketmaster always charges additional fees.
• 25:03
  To the seller, so so. They're making money on money on
• 25:06
  money when you resell a ticket with them.
• 25:08
  But certainly it would curtail some of these astronomical
• 25:11
  prices. But the you know, basically.
• 25:13
  Floor tickets for an arena show are going to escalate higher and
• 25:17
  higher. They're going to that's.
• 25:19
  Just, you know. Ticketmasters are just going to
• 25:20
  raise the price of tickets. If we can't resell them and make
• 25:22
  a fortune, we'll just keep raising the price of.
• 25:24
  Tickets. It's very interesting to see how
• 25:27
  the UK handles this. Very interesting to see.
• 25:32
  Moving on. The Satan Fest in in Iceland
• 25:37
  which I heard is going on their fourth year ever.
• 25:40
  This looks incredible. It's just got announced.
• 25:41
  Sign Dima strip show. Voivod the haunted tail.
• 25:48
  Gunner, Hanford, Power Paladin, so many cool bands.
• 25:54
  A lot of Icelandic bands. There's a lot of great Icelandic
• 25:56
  black. Metal from that scene that plays
• 25:59
  at that festival, so pretty damn exciting.
• 26:02
  Milwaukee Metal Fest announced their full lineup, Killswitch
• 26:04
  Engage I, I believe, or most of their lineup I believe.
• 26:07
  Killswitch Engage is one of the headliners with the headliner
• 26:10
  along with Acid Bath, Iron Reagan and a bunch of other
• 26:13
  bands that looks very exciting. I may I wanted to go to this.
• 26:17
  But now they moved into June, so it's going to be a little tough
• 26:19
  for me. Two more death metal festivals.
• 26:23
  That's popped up this week that I wanted.
• 26:24
  To talk about coming up a one day or next weekend, Mary Death
• 26:28
  miss at Lucky 13 in Brooklyn, a one day sort of all dayer
• 26:31
  festival headline by our homies Malignancy and a bunch of other
• 26:36
  bands. We love Malignancy.
• 26:38
  There was an interview on. YouTube that I did with them.
• 26:40
  At Old at good old Saint Vitus bar where we I just put the
• 26:45
  whole band in the interview. It was hilarious.
• 26:48
  Hilarious. Ha.
• 26:50
  Emphasis on ha. The average cost is 534 Canadian
• 26:55
  in the stands for Scotia Bank. Yeah, that's fucking
• 26:57
  embarrassing, dude. It's so ridiculous.
• 27:01
  But they're making money. I saw the real thing.
• 27:02
  Yeah, I I'll be honest with you. I am ambivalent about seeing
• 27:06
  Rush. I love the professor I skipped.
• 27:08
  Going to the Rush 40 tour now. I'm sorry I didn't.
• 27:13
  But I saw Rush many times. My first ever arena concert was
• 27:16
  rushing Kansas and Madison Square Garden.
• 27:18
  I saw them being endless times. So if the curiosity gets the
• 27:23
  better of me I might just fly down to LA because those tickets
• 27:26
  are going to drop right before the show.
• 27:28
  Especially those 4th and 5th shows.
• 27:30
  Whatever for every city. I might just do it.
• 27:32
  But like, I don't need to go see them.
• 27:35
  I just don't. I'm happy for them.
• 27:37
  Make that money. You know they didn't.
• 27:39
  You know their. Drummer died.
• 27:40
  That sucks Rush, great band. As I get older the lyrics don't
• 27:44
  mean as much to me anymore. And not so in awe of the
• 27:47
  professor's lyrics. You know, Parrot and his
• 27:50
  libertarianism is not for me. But cheers to them for making
• 27:54
  that. Money.
• 27:58
  I used to think subdivision was. A work of.
• 28:01
  Genius. And then I was like, I don't
• 28:05
  know, I want to, I saw that tour.
• 28:07
  I, I. Didn't get the.
• 28:08
  Poster in the show in in time. Yeah, I do want to see Hannibal
• 28:11
  Housewolf. Yeah, I saw the Counterparts to
• 28:14
  tour also. And then this is another death
• 28:17
  metal festival. This is next year in September,
• 28:21
  the Arms of Armageddon Tour. It's kind of a bulky name.
• 28:26
  Massacres the headliner, great band, elixir, medieval steel,
• 28:32
  blood feast, all these bands, violent revolution, sinister
• 28:36
  realm, coven, but not that coven.
• 28:40
  I think at the Meadows in Brooklyn.
• 28:43
  If if it was the real. Coven.
• 28:44
  They would be the headliner in this, but it's not.
• 28:46
  They're not the death metal covenant.
• 28:47
  Don't. Desolation Angels is a
• 28:49
  headliner. Don't name your band after a
• 28:52
  name that is already taken. I'd love to see a triple bill of
• 28:55
  her, Naylor and Rundle. Me too, but probably not in the.
• 28:58
  Works, but I would too. All right, that's all the
• 29:03
  festivals. Let's do the tours.
• 29:05
  Guns and Roses finally announced their U.S. tour.
• 29:07
  We know. About that already they.
• 29:08
  Dropped two new songs and we'll talk at length about.
• 29:11
  This later, but just a reminder that Gene our tickets are on
• 29:14
  sale now. We'll be very.
• 29:15
  Interested to see how they do with their new.
• 29:17
  Trimmer. Isaac Carpenter just did a
• 29:18
  whole. Loop of the world with him I'd.
• 29:21
  Like to see them announce? The opening bands also, but it
• 29:23
  doesn't appear. I'd love to see them with Public
• 29:26
  Enemy who opened for them all this year.
• 29:30
  God forbid. One more reminder, we're giving
• 29:32
  away tickets to this God Forbid show It now features Overcast
• 29:36
  instead of Nora. No word as to why Nora dropped
• 29:38
  off, which is too bad. They're a killer band.
• 29:40
  I've always loved them. I love Overcast.
• 29:42
  I saw Overcast before I ever saw Shadows Wall.
• 29:45
  Hey Brooklyn, this is also here on.
• 29:47
  The tick of the top. What's up?
• 29:48
  Girl. Good to see you.
• 29:49
  How are you doing? I hope you're well.
• 29:50
  I hope you had a lovely. Holiday and you're well in your
• 29:53
  family as well. I'm just talking about that God
• 29:56
  forbid show in Brooklyn and now overcast.
• 29:59
  Is on the bill. Too too bad they couldn't rustle
• 30:01
  up shadows fall, but that would have been too much and shadows
• 30:05
  fall surely I think would have been headlining over bleeding
• 30:08
  through in darkest hour, which you don't want to take away from
• 30:10
  them. The In Memoriam show for Tompa
• 30:13
  Thomas Lynn Thomas from. At the Gates.
• 30:17
  Thomas Lindberg. Is this weekend in Sweden
• 30:22
  headlined? By former members of, but
• 30:24
  obviously, couldn't you know? Still members of At the Gates
• 30:27
  and there is an At the Gates album that was finished before
• 30:29
  he died. Dark Tranquility, the Halo
• 30:33
  effect, and the Crown will all be present.
• 30:36
  I have some news about the crown coming up in a minute.
• 30:39
  Other major concert. For fuck's sake, bring back
• 30:43
  Izzy. No, he won't come back.
• 30:44
  They asked him to come back, so you know, I'm not are
• 30:47
  illegitimate without Izzy. Well, that's interesting.
• 30:49
  They've asked him to come back many times and he does not want
• 30:52
  to come back. Slash campaign to get Gilby back
• 30:56
  in the band and Axel said fuck no.
• 30:58
  Which sucks because I love Gilby Clark.
• 31:01
  I mean Fortis is great. Man, like, you know, there's no,
• 31:04
  you know, no disc. Obviously, Izzy do.
• 31:06
  Some more solo. Shit yeah I also love that Juju
• 31:08
  Hounds record. I'll be honest, the best album
• 31:10
  until Slash did his recent stuff.
• 31:12
  The best album by anybody that was in Guns ever is the album
• 31:20
  that Gilby Clark did. With cure me or kill me.
• 31:23
  I love that fucking song. I don't know, Paxil he just
• 31:27
  hates, you know? It's the same thing.
• 31:29
  Why like Hatfield couldn't get Pepper Keenan into Metallica?
• 31:34
  Because like, it would balance the power too much to another
• 31:37
  guy? You know what I'm saying?
• 31:39
  It's. Slashes guy.
• 31:40
  Gilby is slashes Guy. He's going to vote.
• 31:43
  With slash she's a slashes dude, just like Pepper was perceived
• 31:47
  as James's dude, which is. Also true.
• 31:51
  Also announcing their only tour dates of 2026, Kane, Gizzard and
• 31:56
  the Lizard Wizard. I wish my band was named this.
• 31:59
  They're doing their. Field fields Vision.
• 32:02
  All dayer, all Weekender in Colorado next June and then
• 32:07
  they're doing 3 shows at the Arthur Ashe Tennis Center
• 32:11
  stadium in Queens in Forest Hills hopefully.
• 32:14
  We'll get to cover one of those great band.
• 32:16
  They are otherwise not playing any.
• 32:18
  American shows the rest of the year.
• 32:19
  Which I think is super. Interesting.
• 32:22
  Probably going to record one of those 9000 albums like Paradise
• 32:24
  Lost. Evanescence has finally
• 32:26
  announced their Big As Expected headline tour with Spirit Box
• 32:31
  Poppy and the Nova Twins. They are UK alternative metal
• 32:35
  band and punk band and you know, people have mixed reactions.
• 32:41
  I do believe there's another song in the works.
• 32:43
  To come out with Evanescence, Poppy and Spirit.
• 32:46
  Box. We shall see.
• 32:48
  Death. Angel Long Tour.
• 32:49
  Currently we're covering this. Show this tour this weekend in
• 32:52
  Albany. They are playing all of ACT.
• 32:54
  Three live, and they are. Closing this tour with their
• 32:58
  annual Christmas shows at. Great American music.
• 33:01
  Hall I will not be in. Attendance for the first time in
• 33:04
  several years, but I've had some great times with them, so we're
• 33:07
  good also. This weekend Agnostic Front
• 33:09
  kicks off and I think today kicks off their new tour of the
• 33:13
  East Coast and we'll be covering that this weekend in New York
• 33:15
  City at Irving. Plaza.
• 33:18
  Also announced a tour and a brand new album, Jarbo, formerly
• 33:21
  of Swans. This looks like an.
• 33:24
  Incredible tour, Jarbo Thor. Harris, the multi
• 33:29
  instrumentalist, former member of Swans which means they will
• 33:31
  probably do some Swan stuff together, and the vocalist of
• 33:36
  Eye of Nix. Who's a solo artist now living
• 33:38
  in Europe? So very cool.
• 33:41
  Came to hit that. What's your?
• 33:42
  Venmo Oh no, you don't have to. You know all our things are.
• 33:47
  At ghost cult nag. I think or ghost cult.
• 33:50
  Kefi or something it should be in the description, but again,
• 33:55
  Brooklyn this you're. You're one of the real.
• 33:57
  Ones I don't ever expect, but you're you're wonderful.
• 34:00
  I appreciate you. Also, Jimmy World is going to be
• 34:04
  touring most of 2026 doing all of their.
• 34:06
  Classic Bleed American album and they announced exclusive shows
• 34:11
  in the UK. I'm a big Jimmy Eat World ban.
• 34:15
  I think they were like the best of the punk bands and emo punk
• 34:19
  bands of the turn of the century.
• 34:21
  And I think Bleed American still holds up and I should probably
• 34:25
  get the reissue on vinyl. Also also the crown.
• 34:28
  I was talking about them for the Tumpa thing.
• 34:30
  The Crown has announced they are breaking.
• 34:32
  Up and doing a. Farewell tour.
• 34:34
  It will play no shows following 2026, so if you're in Europe, I
• 34:39
  hope they come to America, but probably not.
• 34:41
  They're probably done. It's kind of sucks.
• 34:43
  Great band. Machine had had a kick off their
• 34:46
  tour of Australia and New Zealand.
• 34:48
  As a three piece because the guitar player they got to.
• 34:51
  Fill in for Reese Scruggs, who's still.
• 34:52
  Dealing with the illness of long term illness of his ailing.
• 34:56
  Father, they played as a three piece and I just wanted to
• 35:00
  highlight this. They went back to the.
• 35:02
  Evening with format and I fucking love this setlist.
• 35:07
  Look at this set list from from them as a three piece.
• 35:10
  They play the 2 1/2. Hours Imperium 10 ton hammer
• 35:13
  choke on the ashes of your hate Now we die.
• 35:16
  Is there anybody out there? Not long for this world crashing
• 35:20
  around you unhallowed aced blood for blood Now I lay thee down
• 35:25
  old the classic outsider locust bone scraper circle the drain
• 35:30
  darkness within catharsis. I don't need that song, but OK
• 35:34
  from this day Davidian. I think they did.
• 35:37
  They've been doing like their little medley of covers like
• 35:40
  Battery and stuff like that and and Slayer.
• 35:42
  And then they close with Halo. What a fucking set list.
• 35:45
  I can live without you ever hearing catharsis live again,
• 35:47
  but what a banner. What a banner.
• 35:51
  Oh, it's nice when our friends are friends.
• 35:52
  Isn't this cute? And Ryan?
• 35:53
  Ryman asked if I knew. Who Bohr were?
• 35:56
  Maybe hint of another Dillinger show?
• 35:57
  OK, cool. Good to know.
• 35:59
  Good to know. I keep thinking they're done and
• 36:03
  then they keep. Booking more shows it's kind of
• 36:04
  like Ansidan. Mono Lord has announced their
• 36:07
  new album is complete and being mixed right now and they have
• 36:11
  booked their first West Coast U.S. tour in a few years.
• 36:15
  I will be at the. I will definitely.
• 36:17
  Not miss that tour. If I have to travel, I will
• 36:19
  travel. I'm planning to go.
• 36:21
  Once again, Ripple Music 15th Anniversary Party this weekend
• 36:24
  headlined by one of my favorites, Fireball Ministry.
• 36:26
  If you love guitar rips, you need some Fireball Ministry in
• 36:30
  your life. Flatline is a banger of all
• 36:33
  bangers and a big fan. And Zed is on this.
• 36:36
  Not Zed the DJ, but Zed the rock band.
• 36:39
  And pretty excited. Also, one more holidayer holiday
• 36:46
  of horror. 2025 Saturday, December 27th MC.
• 36:50
  Cobb this is outside of Chicago at Reggie's Roundaboutly
• 36:54
  Chicago. There's a 17 plus ring and
• 36:56
  there's a 21. Plus ring so MC Cobb bones
• 37:01
  awareness disrobe. Doesn't seem that menacing.
• 37:05
  Disrobe, brain bleed, Texas Toast, Chainsaw Massacre, great
• 37:10
  name, Condition Critical and the after party has dreamlined the
• 37:15
  Rush tribute from Chicago. Just bizarre.
• 37:17
  What a bizarre fucking band. This night, that is, but OK.
• 37:21
  Jack Kirby, I don't know if you like comic books, but I do Jet
• 37:24
  the Jack Kirby Museum, which is not a physical museum, is doing
• 37:28
  pop up museum type stuff and they are doing.
• 37:32
  A. Jack Kirby from the Ghetto to
• 37:35
  the Cosmos, All about Jack Kirby from New York City.
• 37:38
  By the way, and this is running until.
• 37:41
  December. 7th so that is. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
• 37:45
  I love me some Jack Kirby. This is one of those rare times
• 37:48
  I wish I was still. Back in New York City, Megadeth
• 37:50
  has announced additional four dates they're doing Canada with
• 37:53
  Exodus and Anthrax. They're.
• 37:54
  Doing the Iron Maiden. Tour, they're starting to book
• 37:56
  headline more headline dates, so those are on sale now.
• 38:00
  But again, the. Height, you know, maybe the, you
• 38:03
  know, key thing for Oasis and Rush was to.
• 38:06
  Build the hype on these. Shows sell the 1st.
• 38:08
  Ones out make tons of money and then announce more shows which I
• 38:11
  think is. Shitty.
• 38:12
  You know, if Megadeth had just been like, we're not going to.
• 38:15
  Tour that much? After the next few years, no,
• 38:17
  it's going to be like three to five years.
• 38:19
  I think that's misleading. Oh, thanks, Brooklyn Miss for
• 38:24
  subscribing the Don's channel. And also I'll be on one of his
• 38:28
  videos soon. Also Ice 9 kills.
• 38:31
  This is coming up next weekend. They're doing the silver screen
• 38:33
  con in London this week. And the next week they're doing
• 38:35
  a mini tour. Very, very cool.
• 38:38
  And then some cancellations. We know that Parkway Drive
• 38:41
  cancelled all their park. Waves Tour That was an extensive
• 38:44
  tour of of Australia to the. Rising costs and then knocked.
• 38:48
  Loose. Cancelled their entire
• 38:50
  Australian tour date. They were going to be part of
• 38:52
  that tour, so we're very sorry to everyone.
• 38:53
  To cancel an Australian trip including good things, which is
• 38:56
  this weekend and our headline shows around and anyone familiar
• 38:59
  with this band knows we do not take cancelling shows lightly.
• 39:02
  But family will always come first.
• 39:03
  We're already planning on return.
• 39:04
  Cannot. Wait to be.
• 39:05
  Back as soon as possible. Love you all.
• 39:08
  You know, Not Loose has had a hell of a year.
• 39:10
  They were the ghosts called out of the year last year.
• 39:11
  Arf arf motherfucker. Punchy, punchy hardcore.
• 39:16
  So OK. And once again, we're about the
• 39:19
  halfway. Point of the show a little bit
• 39:20
  more. Thanks again for anybody.

  IN202425 Excuse me, any hints of Napalm Death?
• 40:54
  God, yeah, I think there's definitely a new Napalm Death
• 40:56
  record. Coming because.
• 40:59
  Shane Embury's new has like another new EP or album with his
• 41:03
  solo. You know, ambient dance thing,
• 41:07
  dancing music. It's not really dance.
• 41:08
  Music, but it's like. Dance music for sad, angry
• 41:11
  people? I have a hunch.
• 41:13
  That Napalm Death is going to do another run with Melvin's, who
• 41:16
  are also making another record, probably because they're
• 41:19
  Melvin's and that's what they do.
• 41:21
  They make records and they chew gum and they're all out of gum
• 41:24
  public. Enemy bring the soy, it's nice.
• 41:26
  I like that. Good stuff, good stuff, good
• 41:31
  stuff. OK, so we're on all the socials.
• 41:33
  We have a. Newsletter.
• 41:33
  You might want to sign up for that.
• 41:36
  Big news of the week. Guns and Roses in addition to
• 41:39
  those, Yeah, Dark Sky, Burial, Great, great project Dillinger.
• 41:42
  Guns and Roses have dropped two new songs.
• 41:44
  New songs in. Quotes.
• 41:47
  This is the question I asked last week.
• 41:49
  Are they going to be brand new songs written by Slash and Axel
• 41:52
  and Duff? Or are they going to be rehashed
• 41:54
  old demos re recorded and redone by the current band today?
• 41:59
  And the answer is B. The latter, Atlas and Nothing
• 42:04
  are new versions of demos. Right before Chinese Democracy
• 42:08
  came out, there was a demos leak.
• 42:10
  To. Streaming platforms.
• 42:13
  Somebody you're watching might have downloaded that and.
• 42:15
  Listened to it a lot back then and these basic frameworks of
• 42:19
  these songs were already out in other.
• 42:21
  Formats. Some fans are disappointed, some
• 42:25
  people are stoked. I will tell you that the solo on
• 42:28
  Nothing Rips. The songs are good, one of them
• 42:32
  is great. Nothing is great.
• 42:33
  Atlas is like it sounds like usual.
• 42:34
  Illusion too. It's a little all over.
• 42:36
  The place kind of like a strange.
• 42:37
  Just shorter, but I liked both songs.
• 42:40
  If it made, if it makes a difference to you and if it
• 42:42
  makes a difference to you to go see G&R on tour.
• 42:45
  And they're probably going to play these songs and maybe one
• 42:48
  or two less songs they're tired of playing.
• 42:51
  That's good for the band. And they have a new drummer.
• 42:54
  So all these things are like, you know, positive to me.
• 42:57
  But maybe you're cynical and like.
• 43:00
  I haven't cared about this band since the spaghetti incident
• 43:05
  now. It's the greatest sense of
• 43:06
  drama. The last three or four weeks
• 43:08
  have been ripe with drama in the music and metal world.
• 43:11
  So we still don't have AI. You know, I think Axel does
• 43:16
  sound good. What?
• 43:17
  What do you consider good? He's 60 something years old.
• 43:21
  He's not 25 anymore. You're you have to get over your
• 43:24
  brain, just like Rick B Otto. And his boomer ass fucking.
• 43:28
  Crew that doesn't understand underground metal or that
• 43:31
  Metallica is a one off and they'll never be another
• 43:33
  Metallica and. Linkin Park is a unique entity.
• 43:36
  And system of a down is a special.
• 43:37
  Kind of band. I think Axel can hit all the
• 43:40
  notes. Does anybody except for Halford
• 43:43
  and? Dickinson have the same.
• 43:44
  Power and maybe Eric AK of flotsam and Jensen get off my
• 43:48
  lawn. Get off your lawn.
• 43:49
  Eat your own butt. But anyways, Cradle Phil lawsuit
• 43:54
  featuring five former members and a model who was in some of
• 43:57
  their more recent videos. Some of them have gone to
• 44:02
  extreme lengths to discuss stuff.
• 44:06
  Luciani just announced a new solo.
• 44:08
  Yes, Black Queen bitch. I've been talking about the
• 44:10
  Black Queen. Forever.
• 44:11
  I need the new Black Queen album.
• 44:14
  Melissa and I listened to it and she absolutely loved it.
• 44:16
  So Cradle of Field members are now coming out of the woodwork
• 44:20
  and I'm very surprised if you have a lawsuit going on you.
• 44:22
  Probably shouldn't be making public statements to continue
• 44:25
  this, but I. Guess that's their.
• 44:26
  Strategy. Good for them.
• 44:28
  I consider Lindsay Schoolcraft a friend and a person I've admired
• 44:32
  and looked up to for a long time.
• 44:33
  She was really great to us when she's in Cradle.
• 44:35
  She's been pretty great to me when she's been out of cradle,
• 44:38
  but not so you know. We have not yet had a rebuttal
• 44:42
  from. Either.
• 44:44
  Danny fills or Des and Anastasia Fafaro.
• 44:47
  From the management group so. Wild shit, more drama vitriol
• 44:53
  after getting abandoned at a gas station in Vermont with his dog
• 44:57
  and his girlfriend. And I don't know why his
• 44:58
  girlfriend who is not AUS citizen, is on tour anyway with
• 45:02
  them. Seems like a burden to bring
• 45:05
  your dog and your partner with you when you have to tour in a
• 45:07
  van, which is brutal and hard in the winter in Vermont and Maine
• 45:10
  and Connecticut and Boston and Rhode Island and New Hampshire.
• 45:14
  He raised $10,000 in a GoFundMe to get back home, buy new gear,
• 45:20
  whatever. The members of that band who
• 45:23
  quit or or hired guns are all starting a new band together.
• 45:28
  And then, you know, I don't know what mental state this guy is
• 45:33
  in, but he posted like a positively unhinged social post.
• 45:37
  About I was going to. Be like a Phoenix rising.
• 45:39
  From the ashes, talking a lot. With the third person, I wish
• 45:43
  him well. I like vitriol.
• 45:45
  It's a band we've interviewed and covered before, but like, I
• 45:47
  just don't fucking. Know what's going on?
• 45:50
  Also in the drama department, Dogma, fresh off of having their
• 45:54
  tour cancelled, unbeknownst to them, because the promoter
• 45:58
  wanted the band that they booked and not the band they got.
• 46:02
  The former members of Dogma, in addition to having a lawsuit
• 46:05
  against that manager, have started a new.
• 46:08
  Band that they are working on new music for and eventually
• 46:11
  we're recording tour. So we'll see what happens.
• 46:13
  Will it be two dogmas? What will happen?
• 46:18
  This story pisses me the fuck off.
• 46:20
  Do you guys remember last month when we told the story about the
• 46:23
  2 Norwegian black metal artists who were supposedly lost in the
• 46:27
  wilderness in Norway? Guess what?
• 46:29
  It was a fucking hoax to promote the new record of one of those
• 46:33
  guys. What the fuck?
• 46:34
  I actually think I know who the guy is.
• 46:38
  I know who the guy is. Who who came up with this?
• 46:39
  Because they're labeled as prophecy production.
• 46:41
  So it's a guy you may know. I used to see associated.
• 46:44
  With me, you may know him from his long hair and his cigars and
• 46:48
  his rings. You know I'm fucking talking
• 46:50
  about it just sounds like. It was his.
• 46:52
  Fucking idea and if it is, he's a a joke and so are this man.
• 46:56
  So, so longmore and is the guy. And then it was a publicity
• 47:01
  stunt, not about us getting abducted or dead, but like, you
• 47:05
  know, to understand the power of social media and what a bunch of
• 47:07
  clowns you are. Yeah, it's stupid.
• 47:10
  It was stupid when Upon a Burning body did this.
• 47:12
  And the singer claimed to get. Kidnapped so they could push a
• 47:14
  single. This is the most unblack metal
• 47:17
  thing I could possibly fucking think so.
• 47:19
  And I will go toe to toe with anybody about black metal
• 47:22
  because I go back to Emperor and over and Mayhem and the early
• 47:25
  shit even though I fucking hate Barbie appearance.
• 47:28
  But like this is some dumb shit. Just people.
• 47:31
  Get kidnapped and. Killed every day and to just
• 47:34
  like fake getting abducted or fake disappearing to get
• 47:38
  interest in your band no one cares about on a small.
• 47:40
  Label that otherwise was respected before now.
• 47:43
  Stupid. I rest my case.
• 47:46
  Dillinger I love the trio, but Kyle has got to stop drinking
• 47:49
  nose beers. He's got to stop the cocaine.
• 47:52
  Fuck Cradle. I love them, but they fuck this
• 47:54
  Irving Plaza. I remember that show.
• 47:55
  I remember. You are that petty.
• 47:57
  That's great. I remember that show.
• 47:59
  I wasn't living in New York at the time Brooking this, but I do
• 48:02
  remember that. Yeah.
• 48:03
  Danny is, you know, he's been great with me.
• 48:06
  Des and Anastasia have been great with me.
• 48:08
  But Danny is a is an interesting fit.
• 48:10
  Of a human being, we'll just put it that way.
• 48:14
  OK. Moving along the Aussie.
• 48:16
  Rules. Roger, another prick in the
• 48:20
  wall. Roger Waters shirt.
• 48:21
  I think it's already gone. If it comes back, I'm definitely
• 48:24
  going to get one. Even though I love Pink Floyd
• 48:26
  more than you can possibly imagine, the only.
• 48:28
  Thing I love more than Pink Floyd.
• 48:29
  Is my girlfriend. And but this shirt is amazing.
• 48:33
  I think it's hilarious. Is it disrespectful?
• 48:35
  Yes. Is Is Roger a cunt?
• 48:38
  Yes, absolutely a cunt and he deserves whatever he gets,
• 48:42
  whatever pain and punishment Luke Graham is putting.
• 48:45
  Out a solo? Yeah, we talked about it.
• 48:46
  We know Lulu, the official source of foreigner news, is the
• 48:52
  Glacial Musical Podcast. Not my show, but you're not
• 48:54
  wrong. Within Temptation just streamed
• 48:59
  their career spanning live set that they did in their home of
• 49:06
  Sweden and it's on Veeps if you want to buy it.
• 49:10
  And I think they've been putting videos out.
• 49:11
  For it and it looks pretty spectacular based on this fire
• 49:15
  show here. Also I want to talk about
• 49:18
  Spotify. I know everybody is probably
• 49:20
  excited about their rapt. And I talk a lot about.
• 49:23
  Spotify being unfair, but it's kind of a necessary evil.
• 49:26
  I tell young bands, you can't not be on Spotify.
• 49:30
  It's it's a, it's a search. Engine of awareness for music
• 49:33
  fans? It's not going to.
• 49:35
  Ever. Pay.
• 49:36
  They built a model where they colluded with the record labels.
• 49:39
  To not pay anyone and then everyone is expected to kind of
• 49:42
  fall suit to that. And I say you're better off on
• 49:45
  band camp and you're better off on amp.
• 49:47
  Wall. And you're better off somehow,
• 49:49
  some way else. We did see the Dark Angel record
• 49:53
  get lambasted by everybody for not being on Spotify.
• 49:56
  And then one song and video came out and people just shout on the
• 49:59
  record they absolutely did not hear.
• 50:01
  Because it's not. Streaming anywhere to hear?
• 50:04
  I actually really love that record.
• 50:05
  And I didn't think it was bad, I just think people are stupid.
• 50:07
  But anyway, amp. Wall is the shit.
• 50:09
  It is the shit, right? It's cheap.
• 50:11
  So anyway, Spotify has a has a substance.
• 50:13
  I don't know if you know this, where they put out their numbers
• 50:16
  and like on a very press release things and they did something
• 50:20
  Monday that just took my breath away and it's this Spotify
• 50:23
  through there like big nuts on the table.
• 50:26
  And they said not only are we the most, we pay out the most of
• 50:30
  any site. And they explain their
• 50:33
  methodology on how they pay and how they don't pay.
• 50:36
  They said that other streaming platforms not only don't pay
• 50:40
  better, they don't pay at all. And they like they don't.
• 50:43
  They're too scared to drop their numbers and back.
• 50:46
  It up so so. Spotify claims that they have
• 50:48
  paid out over $60 billion in 11 years of Spotify, and that's
• 50:53
  only up to the 2024 numbers. And so they were like, I dare
• 50:58
  you to. Challenge us on this.
• 50:59
  But it still doesn't make a lot of sense.
• 51:01
  It's not equitable. I do think you could see some
• 51:04
  legislation. In the UK, Europe or other
• 51:07
  countries. That have more fair.
• 51:08
  A. Fair trade policy than the US
• 51:12
  yeah, like 60 billion, it's impressive, but who's making
• 51:15
  that money? And they're still trying to say
• 51:16
  like, well, it's you know, I would like to see if you, if I'm
• 51:19
  paying for Spotify Premium, which I do by the way, I would
• 51:23
  like to see the money go to the people whose music I stream.
• 51:26
  It should not go to artists I didn't stream.
• 51:29
  And even if I like Lady Gaga, I have Lady Gaga.
• 51:31
  Vinyls if I want them. Including her Tony Bennett
• 51:35
  duets. Album I don't need Lady Gaga and
• 51:38
  Taylor Swift getting my money from listening to Killing Joke
• 51:41
  and Anthrax and Helmet and Metallica if I listen to most
• 51:44
  more Metallica than any band this year, which I did.
• 51:47
  They should get my money. Why isn't it like that?
• 51:50
  Because they. Colluded with the record labels
• 51:51
  to make it that way, which fucking sucks.
• 51:53
  But anyway. I'll I'm going to post a story
• 51:57
  about. This so I'll put the.
• 51:57
  Link in the description and Don Don has a new album out by.
• 52:00
  The way Dancing on My Father's Grave and other stories out on
• 52:04
  Dark Waters Records. I'm really proud of Don for
• 52:06
  putting this record out. It's beautiful.
• 52:08
  He's got a son with Mercer Nadler on it.
• 52:10
  It's dark folk in Americana. So it may.
• 52:12
  Not be everybody's jam, but it's pretty fucking ranch.
• 52:15
  And Don is also a respected music journalist and reviewer,
• 52:18
  podcaster and all those things. And he wrote a book about
• 52:21
  growing up a metal in it, so pretty cool.
• 52:24
  Also this is. Which band is this?
• 52:30
  I forgot. Survivalist.
• 52:36
  That's it. Took a second.
• 52:37
  Survivalist is a Irish band from Belfast.
• 52:40
  They had a pretty brutal death metal album out a couple of
• 52:43
  years ago. They just put.
• 52:46
  A new cover of Slipknot Sick. I think a lot of people are
• 52:49
  trying to cover Slipknot right now.
• 52:51
  A little bit of vibes. But a really bad ass.
• 52:54
  Cover of of one of the Slipknot iconic trance from the.
• 52:57
  Debut Carla Harvey is was just in the studio.
• 53:01
  She's had a monster year. She married Charlie Benante from
• 53:04
  Anthrax, She put out a solo album, The Violent Hour, which

  Constitution of Treason album. Obviously God Forbid is out
• 54:35
  without their. You know, doing these reunion.
• 54:37
  Shows the last few years without Dallas Coyle.
• 54:40
  He is not packing the band. He has not talked to the band.
• 54:42
  They have not talked to him. He has not talked to them.
• 54:45
  He's doing his own thing and the band has Nick HEPA, formerly of
• 54:49
  Azalea Dining Room Photography. Fucking dude.
• 54:51
  Our own Omar Cordy is the drum tech for Corey Pearce.
• 54:55
  So if you go to any of these, God forbid, shows in December,
• 54:58
  starting next week, you might run into our guy Omar, either
• 55:01
  setting up the drums. Or maybe taking some photos.
• 55:04
  He's in that documentary like at the end there.
• 55:06
  Filming in the photo bit. It's fun word.
• 55:09
  Poppy dropped another new single today, Guardian, from her
• 55:12
  upcoming new album. Super stoked on Poppy.
• 55:15
  I listened to some Poppy today while I was working.
• 55:18
  Also, Tool has admitted that they are in the studio and have
• 55:21
  worked on new. Music.
• 55:23
  We'll see what. The schedule looks like, like I
• 55:25
  said, I think we're going to get more Tool headline dates.
• 55:28
  They just seem to keep going and the money is so good.
• 55:31
  They keep getting invited to go out and do these huge tours and
• 55:34
  they're probably pulling down millions of show.
• 55:37
  So why not keep, You know, they're getting along.
• 55:39
  They're they're vibing. They did some rare songs they
• 55:42
  haven't played in 10 or 15 years.
• 55:44
  On their current tour of Australia, New Zealand, They've
• 55:46
  been doing their Black Sabbath cover live.
• 55:48
  Which is a complete. Surprise and I'm really stoked
• 55:51
  about it so. Maybe we'll get like a tool EP.
• 55:54
  Next year or something? I'm really pumped.
• 55:57
  Really pumped and and one other thing because I sent this
• 56:01
  article to Melissa Maynard's wife Jen who runs Caduceus
• 56:07
  Sellers and Merkin Vineyards with him talked about the
• 56:10
  unreleased Enema remix. So Don, this will be some new
• 56:13
  Intel for you, so tool when they.
• 56:16
  Were not on streaming until 20/19.
• 56:18
  August. 1st, 2019. All the Tool albums came on
• 56:21
  streaming and they just started to reissue them on vinyl.
• 56:24
  There are. Bootlegs of all the tool.
• 56:26
  Tool Albums. I have.
• 56:28
  All the Tool albums. Except Enema because I was
• 56:31
  waiting to get the read the redo of it basically.
• 56:35
  And they won't release it for whatever reason.
• 56:39
  It's not out yet. It will come out, but they
• 56:41
  haven't. And she's like, I heard it and
• 56:43
  it's brilliant, but also I don't know.
• 56:45
  I don't know why they. Won't put it out fucking.
• 56:48
  Hilarious. And finally super interesting,
• 56:51
  right? And super interesting that she
• 56:53
  was like very confident about talking about it because Maynard
• 56:55
  is so buttoned up and not Sherry.
• 56:58
  Also I guess one other tool bit of note.
• 57:00
  Maynard put out this thing. You do not see a new tool
• 57:03
  record. For two to three years,
• 57:04
  Chancellor said. They are on and off on the
• 57:06
  writing. Yes, well, one thing that I do
• 57:08
  here, I'll put it back to Tool for a second.
• 57:10
  One thing you should all know about Tool is Maynard does not
• 57:12
  even attempt to do vocals and lyrics.
• 57:15
  Until he's heard the. Final versions of songs.
• 57:18
  So the problem is these three nerds.
• 57:21
  Like tweak and tweak and tweak and revise and this and that and
• 57:24
  they probably. Come up with so much good shit,
• 57:26
  they just can't help themselves and it just takes forever to
• 57:28
  write a record. But I wouldn't be surprised
• 57:31
  because like Maynard took Pusipher off of, they have a
• 57:35
  distro deal but they don't like their records now come out via.
• 57:38
  Pusipher Entertainment. So like I think Maynard is
• 57:41
  starting, maybe he can talk the other guys.
• 57:43
  I don't know about Danny, but maybe you can talk the other
• 57:45
  guys into not releasing a tool record anymore on a major label.
• 57:49
  Sony ultimately has been tools labeled for this whole time
• 57:53
  since they bought the label. Tool had signed to me, which
• 57:55
  sucks. Volcano and but yeah, I I think
• 57:59
  it's hella interesting and I'm here for it.
• 58:04
  And finally, Metallica was on CBS This Morning on last weekend
• 58:10
  and they talked about their annual, you know, for in advance
• 58:13
  of giving Tuesday all within my hands, all the charity stuff
• 58:16
  they do. And James gave some pretty
• 58:18
  interesting stuff where he talked about just feeling the
• 58:21
  best he's ever felt and doesn't see any sign of slowing down.
• 58:25
  I really feel like we've only got a few precious years of
• 58:28
  Metallica left. I think Lars can't possibly keep
• 58:31
  this shit up. I He's been fantastic the last
• 58:34
  bunch of. Times I saw him and I don't know
• 58:37
  that he can continue to tour. Forever.
• 58:39
  But I will tell you that I'm I'm stoked that they're in a good
• 58:43
  place. I know they love doing the
• 58:45
  charity. Metallica has one last show this
• 58:46
  year in Dubai on Sunday to close the F1.
• 58:50
  If you like. Cards going in a circle really
• 58:53
  fast, it could kill you if the tire flew off and hit you.
• 58:58
  I feel like if a tire hit you with going 250 miles an hour,
• 59:02
  you'd probably disintegrate. Or.
• 59:04
  Flatten from the impact, right? OK.
• 59:07
  Last and not least, Gary Holt has kind of leaked when the new
• 59:11
  exodus record is going to come out.
• 59:13
  It's going to get announced very soon.
• 59:14
  It's going to come out in March, late March.
• 59:16
  They already have a second record done because they were so
• 59:19
  hot. When they got Dukes back in the
• 59:21
  band, they wrote. A whole nother round.
• 59:23
  So I think that's pretty fucking great.
• 59:25
  I don't know why he chose to tell this to before the press
• 59:28
  release. Came out but.
• 59:29
  Whatever, I'm excited. The new Gary Holtz book is one
• 59:33
  of my favorite books. Fabulous Disaster and his audio
• 59:36
  book is fantastic if you're interested in him narrating that
• 59:40
  experience for you. Rubber band man.
• 59:45
  Rubber band man I'm. Sorry, I'm a few seconds late
• 59:47
  rubber band man let me know what that no was for.
• 59:51
  But anyway, all right, I found out this, I found out basically
• 59:56
  last week that I have ADHD and I probably didn't knew this my
• 1:00:01
  whole life, but it wasn't. Confirmed and I've been you know
• 1:00:04
  a couple of people were like it's.
• 1:00:06
  Great that you know. This you're going to get like,
• 1:00:09
  absolutely. You know when you start taking?
• 1:00:12
  The meds it's going to open up a whole new door for you I.
• 1:00:15
  Somehow have overcompensated in my whole life and career in
• 1:00:18
  anything I do. I've.
• 1:00:20
  Managed to put down some focus and discipline.
• 1:00:22
  And I'm very proud of me. And I'm going to take.
• 1:00:23
  A second back and say like this thing has not defined me and it
• 1:00:27
  won't but also like. Now I know.
• 1:00:30
  Now I know for sure I have ADHD, so I saw.
• 1:00:32
  This meme. And I was like, yeah.
• 1:00:33
  It's time for bed. My brain is it really?
• 1:00:35
  Does it go? I do love Thor.
• 1:00:38

• 1:05:49
  Being on meds has changed my life for the better.
• 1:05:51
  And then Brooklyn Mist comes in and says very fun, great stuff.
• 1:05:54
  Thank you, everybody. We're all here and we're all in
• 1:05:56
  this together. So my birthday passed in
• 1:05:59
  September and the love of my life here.
• 1:06:01
  Melissa got me some presents as well as my best friend sent me a
• 1:06:04
  whole box of gifts. But I wanted to.
• 1:06:06
  Share some of the things from. Them because they've been here.
• 1:06:09
  Ever since and I never shared them.
• 1:06:10
  So Melissa got me this Silence of the Lamb replica figure.
• 1:06:14
  Everybody knows I love toys and figures.
• 1:06:16
  Ghost Cult. We do a lot of geek stuff.
• 1:06:17
  We have covered Comic Con and other things before and like I
• 1:06:20
  said, I talked about the Jack Kirby thing earlier, so and
• 1:06:23
  we've interviewed some comic book creators and artists and
• 1:06:25
  things, not just when bands do fun codes or.
• 1:06:27
  Super Sevens we. We're part of this and I'm very
• 1:06:30
  bummed. The Super.
• 1:06:30
  Sevens store near my house is closing.
• 1:06:32
  It's. Probably good for my wallet.
• 1:06:33
  But it makes me sad. So check out this beautiful
• 1:06:36
  Hannibal figure. It comes in this.
• 1:06:39
  Incredible box with all these different Hannibal, you know,
• 1:06:45
  faces and and accessories. It's got his little dinner plate
• 1:06:49
  with the and the floor of the cell with the knife.
• 1:06:51
  I guess he stands on that and he's got the bloody face, the
• 1:06:56
  face when he. Clubbed the guard to death.
• 1:06:59
  I think it's got a club. This is beautifully made.
• 1:07:02
  I'm so stoked to have this in my collection.
• 1:07:04
  I don't have anything. Quite this beautiful or nice,
• 1:07:06
  but I'm really stoked. For it I also.

  Santa Rosa, CA that has a Zoltar machine which I have always
• 1:07:23
  loved because of the movie. Big Finally, other things that I

  How great the detail. Is in this y'all on TikTok and
• 1:08:05
  appreciate? It it's not going to do too
• 1:08:06
  well. Because of the camera tracking.
• 1:08:08
  But this thing is amazing and I love having this in my
• 1:08:11
  collection. And then of course, does my
• 1:08:13
  buddy of 40 years know me or does he not know me?
• 1:08:15
  Hey, Don. Look at this like.
• 1:08:17
  That big book of you with my own.
• 1:08:20
  I was not home. I went.
• 1:08:22
  I was, I was home yesterday when we recorded that pod.
• 1:08:25
  But like, it is Anakin Skywalker.
• 1:08:29
  Be to shit. By Luke from Return of the Jedi
• 1:08:32
  and I love this thing and he's a little bobble head which is
• 1:08:34
  amazing. It's Nick.
• 1:08:37
  It kind of it was Nick with the zip up face.
• 1:08:41
  I don't know what the. Fuck he was doing and he thinks
• 1:08:42
  it looks. Cool.
• 1:08:43
  It was funny. But it wasn't cool.
• 1:08:45
  And that's like some additions to my toy shelf.
• 1:08:48
  And yes, of course. Oh, no worries, man.
• 1:08:53
  That was September. I did a whole.
• 1:08:56
  This live stream on my birthday and I think you were.
• 1:08:57
  There. But it's all good.
• 1:09:00
  You know, it's been a trip, I'll say that much.
• 1:09:02
  It's been an absolute trip. Around the sun and 53 years and
• 1:09:08
  the end of this year, it's been some ups and downs, but I'm I'm
• 1:09:12
  in a pretty good place right now and I appreciate every single
• 1:09:14
  person that is here and I thank you all.
• 1:09:17
  For being here and that's our show, a very manageable one hour
• 1:09:21
  and 9 minutes. Thanks so much.
• 1:09:22
  I'm going to go get some dinner with my beloved and I'll be back
• 1:09:26

• 1:09:28
  I believe Sunday. We're going to do our Top 40
• 1:09:31
  albums of 2025 countdowns. So the programming.

  We're going to try to get some of the crew.
• 1:09:47
  Together from the team around the world and run through.
• 1:09:51
  The Top 40 and it should be what?
• 1:09:54
  Because it is not for the winners.
• 1:09:58
  The picks are unexpected. The list is long.
• 1:10:00
  We voted on 75. I think, you know, we reviewed
• 1:10:04
  like 400 records this year, which is a little lower.
• 1:10:06
  Than the last two years we're. Down a few reviewers, but thanks
• 1:10:09
  everybody for watching once again I'm very.
• 1:10:11
  Lucky to do what I do. I love you all and I sincerely
• 1:10:14

• 1:10:16
  the holidays and you're struggling.
• 1:10:18
  DM me, I'll be there for you and as I say every week of this
• 1:10:22
  juncture, the show it's a tough. Time in the world so take care
• 1:10:24

• 1:10:27
  humanly possible and I'm going to dance and jig on the way out
