• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, I know it ain't me this time.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_01: Usually it's me being slow, but it wasn't me.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_02: No, I was just trying to burn through a few requests here because there was
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_02: a tremendous amount of requests this evening,
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: which I appreciate.

  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's all good.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_02: Trying to get as many in.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_02: Speaking of songs, did your buddy Eric Farentino send you the two Steven Piercy songs?
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: I have not heard anything from Eric, no.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, he sent me two songs.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I guess I'm on the outs.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I think what he did, he was thinking that Stephen is playing.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_02: No, Stephen is playing at the Arcata.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_02: In December.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_02: And he's like, I guess I'm going to be seeing you pretty soon, bro.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_02: Here's a couple of new songs.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_02: That's cool.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_02: How do they sound?
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_02: They sound like they're in line with Smash.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, good.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_01: I like that.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_02: Of course, you know, I like that.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_02: I love that record.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, they're very rat sounding, smash sounding songs.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I think it's going to be a good album from what I've heard.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_02: At least the three songs I've heard.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: I like the one song that I've heard.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: It sounded really good.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_02: So looking forward to the new Steven Piercy.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: Can't wait.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: When does that come out?
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: I said like next month?
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think so.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like November something, I think.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: I like that guy, that Steven Piercy fella.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: I like everybody in that band now.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody in that band is great.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, now.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: Obviously, Eric has been a bud for years,
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_02: and Steven,
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: he gravitated toward us and has told us on
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_02: a few occasions he really likes our commentary.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know,
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_02: he's always been very kind to me for as many times as I've been out to the shows.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: He's always been very gracious about inviting me back and letting me hang.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_02: And, of course, their new addition, Joel Holkstra, was very cool to meet him.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_02: Matt Thorne.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_02: Matt Thorne, very nice guy.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_02: And, of course, Blas Elias.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_02: I've got to know him pretty well over the last couple of years, you know.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: So very, very, very cool band.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_02: Very good.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: Very tight band.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_02: They seem very cohesive.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: No, I'm thrilled that they're putting out music, man.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: It has been way too long for those guys.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: That'll be good.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: I can't wait to cannot wait to hear the whole thing.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to I'm going to hit Eric up on the text tomorrow.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, what the fuck, bro?
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: Come on.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: You didn't send them to me.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: You only sent them to Neely.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: What the fuck?
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: I thought we were good.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: You said you weren't mad about me leaving the show, you prick.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: So it's just kind of funny because what was it,
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: a year and a half, maybe two years ago, Stephen was saying, this
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_01: is the last round.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: This is it.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm retiring.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: I'm getting off the road.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_02: You know, and then all you see is more dates being booked.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_02: Not that I care, because I like Steven.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: I like going to see him, and he still performs well, and he's a character.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he is.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: Dude, it's so funny.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: I know you're aware of this,
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: that I've been slowly moving content over from the old channel,
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_01: and then I just kind of put a new face on it and move it over to the newer channels.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um, YouTube channel,
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: which as much as I shit on the YouTube people,
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: by the way, I would like to say thanks to them in one regard.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: We crossed 5,000 followers this week,
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: which is amazing because it's such a shitty channel with all the editing
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: and stuff that's on it.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: But we, we crossed the 5,000 follower barrier, which is amazing.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but, um, yeah,
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: so anyway,
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: so I've been moving stuff over and the way I do it generally is I just look
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: and I see what in our history has had the most views,
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: cause I figure that's probably the,
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: the stuff people want to hear the most for the most part.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, not always,
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: but you know,
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: so that's how I've been kind of picking and choosing what I'm moving over.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: So the top and the way I do it is I,
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_01: there's a little filter thing on it and it You know,
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_01: you hit it and you tell it, give me the, filter it by the views, most to least.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: The top two things,
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: and I cannot pull the trigger to pull them over,
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_01: just because we like Steven so much, are the... Sao Paulo.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: Sao Paulo, and then there's another one that I think was called The Sad State of Steven.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, when he was pretty fucked up on stage.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_02: He claimed that he took the wrong prescription or something.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, whatever, but...
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: But I literally was like,
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: all right,
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if we can, I don't know if I want to pull those over quite yet.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe I'll just leave those in the old archive.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_01: I don't need to bring a new light on that right now.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so, you know, Stephen's been very, very good to us over the last, you know, 20 years.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_02: And, um, just he, again, he's, he's told me on several occasions what a fan of the show he is.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_02: He goes, I hear you.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_02: I hear you guys commentary.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_02: I got to tell you, you guys are dead on.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: You guys are dead on.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_01: That is funny.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: Tonight is that weird night.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: Now we're getting super chats.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: Um, somebody wants, uh, Jay Lee wants to know about seeing you at the Arcata.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: Will you?
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_01: Will you go out of your way to see Jaylee?
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, sure.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_02: I'm always out in the foyer area after the show,
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_02: typically,
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: and people have come up and Typically,
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_02: I've met quite a few people at the Arcata just because I hang out after the show in
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_02: the entryway.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_02: And a lot of people come up because that's where they sell the merch and stuff.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_02: And they come up and say hello.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: And I think there's a video out there where Eric was out there at one of the shows
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_02: and he was talking to somebody and some guy comes walking up to him and goes,
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_02: hey, is Neely here?
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_02: Is he here?
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: And he's just like, yeah, he's here somewhere, you know.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_02: Boy, that makes Eric feel great, doesn't it?
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, you're in the band, right?
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: What about Neely?
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: Is he here?
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_02: Of course.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_02: But of course,
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_02: yeah, I'm always happy to say hello and shake a hand and chit-chat a little bit.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_01: That's pretty good.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_02: The Arcata is like my second home almost.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_01: They don't come here very often.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_02: Whatever promoter, you know, whatever promoter.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_02: But, you know,
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_02: Rano Nesty over there at the Nesty Entertainment Group,
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: he brings in Doc and all the time.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: He brings in Pure C,
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_02: brings in,
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_02: you know, he's got his core of bands he likes to bring in once or twice a year.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_02: You know, and he does that all the time, like Wasp.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_02: You know, he sells multiple nights of Wasp at the Arcata.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to see him at this Plains Theater on Friday.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: So that's his other venue.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: Hopefully you'll get a show.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: I heard Blackie canceled tonight.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I wasn't aware.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they canceled and only KK's Priest played.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: I did hear that.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_02: Well, we'll see.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_02: Because I think you said tonight?
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_01: Tonight.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, because one of our CMS fans were going out to see him tonight.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_01: Well, they're seeing KK's Priest, and that would be
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_02: it.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_02: That would be Chuck from North Carolina just caught Wasp.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, he just caught them in Raleigh.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_02: So where was this tonight?
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_01: Honestly, I just happened to see it float by on X quickly.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: Wasp.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: It was just like the official statement from KK's Priest saying,
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: Wasp will not be performing tonight, but...
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: KK's Priest will play a headline show.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm not sure where they are tonight.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe Blackie will put out a gospel album soon.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: Great.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not even opposed to people.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: If you want to buy into that hocus pocus, go ahead.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_01: But don't think your fans want it,
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: especially if you built your whole career not doing that to your fans.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_01: Don't release it out there like your friend's Have some reason to buy it.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: Just don't do that.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: That's shitty.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_01: That's just so shitty to do that.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_02: It was like Carrie Livgren of Kansas.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_02: When he left Kansas,
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_02: he got all churchy and religious and did all kinds of religious music and stuff.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know why they do that shit.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe if they.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_02: It's their newfound faith, I guess.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_02: Who knows?
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_01: You know what?
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's just as bad as politics as far as I'm concerned with the music.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: If that's your faith, that's your faith.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't mean that it's a product.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_02: Well, again, they look at it as spreading the word.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, please.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_01: Spread the word of the evil that you've been spreading, please.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: Whether we're evil or divine, we're the last in line.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: I know this.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: The last couple of Black Eve records are completely forgettable.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: Golgotha and Babylon.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: Can you name one song off either?
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_01: And you're a Wasp fan.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: You're an absolute fan.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: You can't name one song off of the last two records.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_02: Babylon.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah, because it's the name, right?
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and Golgotha.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: I have a hard time getting my religious talk from the guy that told me to fuck like a beast.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: And fuck me, I'm an animal and all that shit that he was doing.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_02: But again, KFD still ranks the top for me.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_02: That's a good one.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_02: That one is so, so vile.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's just a vile record.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: Jim says the show that was canceled was New Jersey.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: New Jersey.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, I mean, I love KFD too.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_01: That's one of my favorite.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: I think my favorite though, bar none, is Last Command.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: That's the one I still go to about every two months.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like on like a two-month thing with Wasp.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: About every two months I pull out an album and listen to it.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: And it's usually The Last Command or Headless Children
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: or Neon Gods or Crimson Idol.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: Why don't you just say you like the early catalog?
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: Well, but I go later in.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I just said I like the Neon Gods.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_02: Those are later.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's when I got to know Blackie
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_02: best during that era.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: Sebastian Bach is throwing another onstage temper tantrum,
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: waging war on AI like he's John Connor.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: Or is he just screaming at clouds because the world
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: left him behind in 1989?
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: Meanwhile, Howard Stern barely broadcasts anymore, but he'll still take your subscription cash.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: A massive conservative festival completely implodes
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: because nobody bought their ridiculous VIP tickets.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: And Kid Rock, he's dropping a Christian album?
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_01: We're tearing through all this delusional nonsense on the cut,
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_01: but freeloaders don't get to hear it.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_01: It's exclusively for CMS paid VIPs on Locals.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: Head to classicmetalshow.locals.com right now and sign up.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_02: And he was a frequent guest at that point.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_02: And we got to talking quite a bit and that's when
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_02: the whole Frankie Benally thing got really nasty and Frankie didn't like us anymore.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, then Frankie hated us for the rest of his life.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he hated me for even asking the question because,
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: and Blackie was very candid on the show about his relationship with Frankie Benally.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_02: He wanted Frankie to be the drummer on that tour.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: And Frankie declined, and he said, yeah, so I took his drum tracks off the record.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: The pettiness of these guys.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_02: It was so funny, though.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: But then Frankie was just like, yeah, and I can't talk to you anymore.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_02: You're out.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_02: Basically, yeah.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: And he didn't want to talk to me either.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_02: You know, and I went, they were here, what was the, I think, Rock Never Stops or some shit.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_02: And I walked right up to them face to face and I said, well, why do you have an issue with me?
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_02: And he goes,
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: because every subsequent interview that I had,
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_02: because I think they were promoting the Quiet Riot record or something at
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_02: that point, he said, everybody had to ask me about Blackie removing the drum tracks.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, how's that your fault that everybody else did it?
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_02: Well, because I asked the question.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_01: So what?
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_01: I guess I'm the bad guy.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and I mean, we've had that happen before.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, Jan Keeneman, same thing.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_01: We asked her about getting punched out or about Janet Garner getting punched out.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_01: And then every interview after asked her the same question.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: But, you know, and I get it.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: But at the same time, don't shoot the messenger.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, just because I had a good question or came up with a good question,
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_02: obviously it caught the attention of other people,
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_02: but I guess it's that negative attention you don't want.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: If he wanted to be mad at somebody, he should have been mad at Blackie for saying the answer.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: The answer was the problem, not the question.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: Blackie could have easily just said,
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_01: you know, I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about and move the fuck on.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_02: Of course.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_01: But he didn't.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_01: He made a big deal about it.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: It was Blackie that made the problem, not you.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_02: But we were ganging up on him, man.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I guess.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_02: That's what it was.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_02: I was ganging up on him with Blackie.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_02: I was siding with Blackie on this one, man.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_01: These guys are such temperamental fucking douches sometimes.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: Just like Bach in our chat or in our comments.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_02: Why is a guy like,
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_02: and again,
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_02: I understand it,
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_02: but why is Sebastian Bach wasting his time putting comments on YouTube
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_02: of all things?
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_01: Why does he give a shit what two knuckleheads say?
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_01: We don't even acknowledge ourselves as fucking journalists or any of that.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_01: We regularly say we're two fucking knuckleheads.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_01: And you're literally listening to our fucking conversation that we would have at a bar.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's just our opinion.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_02: It doesn't make it so.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but some of these guys, they get so fucking upset about everything.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_01: Quiet, right?
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_01: Look at how fucking mad those guys were at me for nothing.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_01: For literally nothing.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: You know, look at Jizzy.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: Who supported Jizzy more than me?
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't even want to put you into the category.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: Nobody supported that guy more than me in this realm.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: And he absolutely hates me because somebody said something about something
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: that had nothing to do with him.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, what the hell?
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: It had nothing to do with Jizzy.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_01: Hell, he was mad at me because you said something about Jizzy at one point.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_02: And again, that was another situation where I walked up on him face to face.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_02: It's just like, what's the deal?
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_01: What's the problem?
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_02: You know, we're good, bro.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_02: We're good.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_02: And we literally hugged it out.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: We're just like, you know, dude, I'm not trying to be critical of you.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I didn't, I mean,
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't agree with you,
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: but that was just,
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_01: and the part that bugged me about that,
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: not that this is even what we want to be talking about or whatever,
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: but what bugged me the most about that was that I literally,
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_01: it was one of the few times that me and you Had a strong disagreement
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_01: about anything.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: Not an argument, but you said, jizzy doesn't sound to me like Quiet Riot.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_02: I said, I don't hear it, is what I said.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_01: And I was like, well, I do.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_01: I think you're crazy.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: I hear it.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: I hear that it's a fit.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_01: I said that.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_01: And me and you went back and forth a little bit.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we didn't fight about it or nothing, because really, who gives a shit?
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: But, you know, I mean, it was just kind of a banter, but it was me taking Jizzy's side.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: And then I get a text or something from Amy Rocks that says,
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you know this, but Jizzy's mad at you.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_01: Mad at me for what?
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_01: What did I do?
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_02: And the other thing he was mad at me about is that I played a clip
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_02: when he was coming on the show and I played a clip that he said here on this show
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_02: about accidentally slipping his dick into the ass of some girl he was trying to fuck
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_02: on the couch.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_02: Do you remember that at all?
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_01: I do remember that,
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_02: yeah.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_02: And his current chick was listening and then she got all butthurt about it.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_02: Pun intended.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_02: How is that our problem?
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_02: Well, because I played it.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_02: And he goes, dude, I don't know why you had to play it.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_01: You said it on the show.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you said it.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_01: But we've had that problem before, too.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_02: Jack Frost.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Jack Frost had a heart on.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_02: And that's another one I walked up on him at NAMM.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_02: I walked up on him at NAMM.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_02: He was at NAMM, and he saw me, and he was acting like he was all busy with some shit.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_02: And I just waited him out.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_02: And then I walked up on him, and I said, what's the problem?
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_02: What did I do?
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_02: I thought you guys were sandbagging me, and I thought you did.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_01: Sandbagging you?
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_02: You said it.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_02: I said, why would we do that?
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_01: We were friends for 10 years or whatever.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_02: But, you know, I have no problem walking up on these guys and facing them face to face.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, tell me what I did.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_02: What's the problem?
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_02: And it always ends up with, oh, we're good.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_02: We're good, bro.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we're good, bro.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_02: You know?
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you're nicer than me.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I like to resolve things.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_02: I don't want people getting all pissy about shit that's just dumb to be pissed about.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_01: I'm happy if Jizzy never says another word to me.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: I am.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_01: I absolutely am.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_01: Because if he had a problem, he could have brought it to me and he didn't.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: Instead,
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_01: he's going around saying it to people behind my back,
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_01: knowing that it'll get back to me.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: Come on.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: That is a bitch move if ever there was a bitch move.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you got a problem with me.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_01: You can always say it.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_01: I know my phone number hasn't changed and I know he's called it before.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, stop it.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_01: Stop with that nonsense.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_01: But whatever.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_01: Enjoy your Fiesta record that we did not promote at all.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: That I purposely said no thank you to the interview on.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_01: Have at it, bro.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just one of many.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_01: Fine.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_01: Fine.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_02: Well, what do you really want to talk about?
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_01: I just have one quick one and then whatever you have.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_02: I got a few things here that might be just silly stuff.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I just have one and it's real quick.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_01: This might take two minutes,
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: but I'm sure you were aware that And on the 27th or 28th or one of those days was
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_01: the 40th anniversary of Cliff Burton's passing.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_02: We talked about that last Saturday.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it was just, it is what it is.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't want to revisit the whole,
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: would Metallica have gone the direction that they,
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: you know, all that shit, whatever.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_01: They're going to do whatever they're going to do.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_01: But what do you think about Mustain playing Ride the Lightning and dedicating it
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_01: to Cliff Burton.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_01: Do you think that that's true?
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: Like real?
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: Like real emotion?
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: Or do you think that's a pander job?
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's pander.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_01: You think so?
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_02: Why?
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I don't know what Dave's relationship was with Cliff.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_02: I have no idea.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't know.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_02: And again, I could say that he's not sincere and all these other things.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_02: But to be honest with you, I really don't know.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_02: But I think out of what do you want to call supporting the most current thing,
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_02: I think Dave kind of jumps on that bandwagon a little bit.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_01: I think he's doing it just to keep his name in the press.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_01: Of course.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_01: I agree.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: I do agree.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_01: I just, I don't,
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_01: I don't understand at this point why you're bringing up Cliff Burton or Metallica
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_01: or anybody, Dave and David Ellefson or whatever.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_01: You know, at this point you're on your retirement tour.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_01: You've already made it clear that you're not going to welcome anybody from
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_01: the old bands, the old, the 93 other renditions of Megadeth in.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_01: Certainly not going to welcome Metallica to come up and play with you on the final gig.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_01: So why is any of this a topic?
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't know the answer to this.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you have obviously dealt with Don, and you might have insight to this.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_01: You might not.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_01: Why can't any of these guys ever tell a reporter, I'm not going to talk about this?
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_01: None of them do it.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_01: They'll have their publicists do it.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_01: I get that all the time from publicists.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: They'll be like, hey, so-and-so doesn't want to talk about this or that or whatever.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_01: And then it's up to me to respect it or not.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_01: And usually it's some bullshit from 30 years ago,
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_01: so it's easy for me to respect it because I don't talk about the past anyway,
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_01: generally.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_01: But why do you think it is that none of these guys can do that,
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_01: can just say, I don't want to talk about it?
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_02: Well, because I'll tell you.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_02: These legacy artists always had publicists and stuff to run interference for them.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_02: But now that they're kind of independent guys,
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_02: they don't have a label,
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_02: they don't have publicists, they don't have people working them per se.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_02: They have to field these questions.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_02: They're just not media savvy.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: They've been doing it for 40 years.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: They know what they don't want to answer, though.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_02: But here's the other thing, and I know this to be a fact, especially with Don.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_02: Don gets a bad rap.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_02: A lot of the time from from fans who are Lynch fans.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_02: And every time you see something about Don and I've known Don over 30 years.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_00: Don's a dick.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_00: He's a self-centered blah, blah, blah.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_00: He just wants all the money.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_02: He just wants that,
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_02: you know, and it's all, you know, it's all what people conjure up in their head.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_01: Mm hmm.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_02: So when it comes to doing interviews,
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_02: especially when he was doing the whole interview cycle for Heaven Comes Down,
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_02: he didn't want to come off on the internet because everything's unregulated on
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_02: the internet.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_02: As Don didn't want to answer this question.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_02: Geez, what a dick.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_02: I understand.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_02: I get it.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_02: But that's the whole thing.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_02: How many times do you have to hear this over and over and over again?
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_02: That, oh, you know, I asked him one question and he told me he didn't want to answer it.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, what a dick, man.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_02: What's he hiding?
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_02: What's he hiding, man?
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_02: You follow what I'm saying?
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_02: I get it.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_01: I get it.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: But I would think after 40 fucking years or whatever.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_01: It really wouldn't matter.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_02: You would think so.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_02: And I would think so.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_02: And, and,
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_02: and believe me,
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_02: we've had discussions about, uh,
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_02: trying to stave off some of these quote unquote,
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_02: these internet journalists who had the opportunity because they were always asking
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_02: about the old shit all the time.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_02: Is it true that you and George hated each other?
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_02: Is it true?
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, I want to talk about the new record.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_02: And, and I've said that to him on many occasions is say,
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_02: Everything you want to hear about George and Don is out there somewhere.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_02: Go find it.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to talk about it anymore.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's old news.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_02: It's water under the bridge.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_02: I want to talk about the new record.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I'm here for.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_02: Let's talk 30 minutes about the new record.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_02: Let's not talk about dream warriors.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_01: Or just make a simple compromise.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_01: The first time they ask the question, say, look,
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'll let you ask me an old one in the last five minutes of the interview.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_02: But you get a lot of young kids who are, you know, like, what's his kid's name?
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_02: The Quiet Riot singer?
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_01: John Tora.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_02: You get a John Tora kid who's,
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_02: Doing journalism,
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_02: you know, because he's got a YouTube channel or whatever that he does.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_02: And they're so psyched that they're getting to talk to somebody, you know, of name.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_02: And they go, well, you know, I heard all about this.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_02: I heard this lore and I got it.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like, it's out there.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_02: Go find it.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_02: Go research it.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_01: But that could be the answer.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_01: Asked and answered.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_01: Next question.
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_01: So I never do that.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_01: I try my damnedest not to.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_02: But you're a seasoned guy, though.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_02: And you already know the story and you're not going to rehash all this old stuff.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_01: And the truth is,
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_01: it's not even about that as much as I don't want to sink myself into
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_01: the same mediocrity as everybody else.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I just don't want to do that.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because you'll take the time,
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_02: and when I used to do interviews,
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_02: I would take the time to listen to a record and go through and make a couple
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_02: of notes about a certain song or whatever, and then concentrate on that record.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_02: And then if an epiphany hit me
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_02: ask something kind of like off the beaten path,
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_02: I might do that.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_02: That's kind of how we just talked about Blackie.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_02: I was so wound up about the fact that it was arranged for me
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_02: to interview Blackie Lawless in person that I was just like,
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_02: I got to do something that's going to Set me apart from everybody else.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_02: And I did my homework on Blackie as a person.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_02: And didn't talk music one iota during that interview.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_02: I talked about social commentary.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_02: I talked about politics.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_02: I talked about sports.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_02: You humanized him.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_02: I did not ask him one music-related question at all.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_02: And after we were done, I got a full hour with him up in the green room at the Odeon.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_02: And he goes, this is one of the best interviews I've ever had.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_02: And whether he was being sincere or not, I have no idea, but that's what he told me.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_02: And I was just like, whew.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_02: Because regardless of what you think,
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_02: and I know you know this is a fact, Blackie's a very smart guy.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he is.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_02: He's a very intelligent guy.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_01: And has a very long memory.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_02: He does.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_02: And I was just like, I'm not going to fuck this up.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_02: And I was really prepared.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sure.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_01: Now, Blackie's, there's certain guys in this business that you do not go into unprepared.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_01: Jeff Tate.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_01: Jeff Tate's another one.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm not going to lie.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not wildly prepared all the time.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_01: I make sure I'm prepared enough,
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_01: you know, and, and I do little things, little tricks to the trade.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I'll,
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'll have the album up on my screen so that if I really get lost somewhere,
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_01: I can be like, well,
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_01: tell me about this song,
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_01: you know, and I might not even know what the song is in my head,
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_01: but I'm trying to redirect back to getting him going about music where
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_01: then I can hear what he says and expound upon it or whatever.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_01: And that happens a lot with the newer bands because, let's face it, they're newer bands.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_01: There's not a lot of history.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of them are brand, brand new.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_01: So it's helpful to have.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_01: I don't really do notes, though.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_01: Very rarely do I have questions or anything.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_01: I might have a couple
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_02: of points.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't do that either.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_02: I just used to go through and make mental notes and think, I heard this in the song.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_02: What's the premise of this title?
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_02: Where did that come from?
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_02: That kind of stuff.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not one to delve into the history of things because it's been out there forever
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_02: and a day, especially the older bands and legacy artists and stuff.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, Lita, tell me the background.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_02: Tell me about shooting a video with Ozzy.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_02: That's exactly where I was going.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_02: What was that like?
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, how great was that?
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_02: What was that like?
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_02: Did you feel pressure because Ozzy was there?
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_02: When you play that Warlock guitar, when did you start playing that?
• 33:13
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have an endorsement for that?
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_01: Stop.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_01: I'll be honest, I don't even love interviewing the old guys, really.
• 33:25
  SPEAKER_01: Because, you know, a lot of them, they come in with their guard up.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_01: And that's always a hassle because it takes 10 minutes of you not...
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you can win them pretty easily as long as you don't fall for all the tropes
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_01: that everybody else goes for.
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_01: You know, they come in and they have a new record and...
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_01: I watch enough of them online to know they'll get one question out.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_01: They'll be like, oh, they got this new record.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_01: It comes out on October 15th.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_01: Tell us about it.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_01: Well, let me tell you about the record.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, well, do you remember when George Lynch said this in 1988?
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_01: And I mean, they go right for it.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_01: They give them one question almost as their,
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_01: well, I have to ask you about the new record question.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_01: And then they go off into bullshit that doesn't matter.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_01: Tell me, what was the most difficult part of recording Back for the Attack?
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_01: How the fuck does he know?
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_01: He was stoned and drunk and it was 40 years ago.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_01: He doesn't remember.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_01: And you're going to stick him to the wall trying to get him to remember something
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_01: that they don't remember.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_01: that's the other thing that makes me laugh with fans when fans comment on interviews
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_01: and they'll say something like, that's not what happened.
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_01: This is what,
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_01: and it's like, tell me what you did on a certain day, any certain day, 40 years ago.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_01: Tell me what you were doing.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_01: I'll remind you, you were at your mom's house for Thanksgiving dinner in 1986.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_01: Go, tell me what you did.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_01: Not a fucker that's watching this could do that.
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_01: Unless their mother dropped dead at the table.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_01: And if it was just a regular old Thanksgiving dinner, they don't remember shit about it.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_01: They don't remember if it was 86 or 93 or 2004.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_01: They don't remember.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_01: Because who does?
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_01: So ridiculous.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_02: I agree.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_01: Rough rambling about nothing.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_02: That's what the fans tune in for.
• 35:46
  SPEAKER_02: That's why they send us super chats.
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I guess so.
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_02: Because they want to hear the greatness of us.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sure.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_02: I can shit on a plate and just serve it and gobble it right up.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_01: When I shit on a plate, you better be saying, where's my spoon?
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_01: Where's my seconds?
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_01: Extra corn for you, fucko.
