  SPEAKER_01: It's Wasp right here on your classic metal show with the mean motherfucking man.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_01: A song that Blackie claims he wrote about Chris Holmes.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_03: Does he still play it?
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_01: No, of course not.
• 0:38
  Yeah.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_01: Chris Holmes and Blackie are not on good terms.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's unfortunate because that song is so great.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_01: It is.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_01: But that one goes out to my nephew, James.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_01: ACDC in there with Little Lover for the Winter Steel.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_01: Rose Tattoo with the Departed Angry Anderson, Man About Town for Roger.

• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: Oda with Power of Love for Skippy.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_01: And kicking off that block, we heard Starcrawler with On To You for Floyd Gundoli.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_03: Well, that was a segment.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's quite a block there.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_01: We've got quite a sampling of various genres of hard rock and metal tonight.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we have.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: Pretty good.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_01: All over
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_03: the map.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_01: Pretty good.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, yep.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: You guys and gals have done a great job tonight.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: So do you have anything in particular?
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, go ahead.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_03: We have to hit the Aerosmith.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, of course.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's the big stuff.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_03: I say it's the number two.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_03: Might be the number one.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_03: It's a busy week this week with stuff.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously,
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_03: they announced Aerosmith to return to the live stage for two exclusive nights at
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_03: the Hollywood Bowl.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_03: But it's Aerosmith and Friends.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_03: It's not Aerosmith only.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know about you, but I'm not.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_03: It's the weirdest thing.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_03: Clearly, clearly, they saw the Aussie thing and how successful it was.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_03: And they talked these guys into doing this.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_03: Very clearly.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know how I feel about this one yet.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_03: What are you thinking?
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's two nights.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: Well, what's surprising to me is that it was announced on such short notice.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: Because it just got announced this week and this is happening in what, like three weeks?
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_03: October 29th and November 1st.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: So basically two and a half, three weeks.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: So it just got announced.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you know,
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: and again,
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's Aerosmith, and there's a cavalcade of people involved with this thing.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_03: And this is where I have an issue.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_03: I'll read you the names.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_03: Black Crows,
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_03: Run DMC, Hart,
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_03: Andrew Watt,
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_03: Billy Idol,
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_03: Chad Smith,
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_03: Duff McKagan,
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_03: Eric Church,
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_03: Jerry Cantrell,
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_03: Marcus King,
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_03: Mike Inez,
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_03: Nuno Betancourt,
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_03: Pat Monaghan,
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_03: Sammy Hagar, Slash,
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_03: Steve Stevens,
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_03: Sully Ernov,
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_03: Godsmack,
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_03: Tom Morello, again,
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_03: with his fucking bullshit,
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_03: Adam Wakeman, all oddly freed, Kenny Aronoff,
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_03: and Don Wuz as the musical director.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_03: Some of this makes sense to me.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_03: If this is an Aerosmith going away party,
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: Does it say that, though?
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_03: It does not say that.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_03: I'm just throwing something out there.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_03: If it's a going-away party, some of this makes sense.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_03: It makes sense that Run-DMC would be on it.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_03: They did something with Slash, right?
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_03: Like the Super Bowl or something?
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: Not really sure.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: All I know is that Guns N' Roses opened for Aerosmith.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_03: It could be that.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_03: Allison Chains, did they open for them?
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_01: They may have in the 90s.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_03: I have more issue with, quite frankly, I'm tired of seeing Tom Morello.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_03: You know, every time there's one of these things, they include him.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_03: And quite frankly, most people that are into Aerosmith do not like Tom Morello.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_03: They just don't.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that's one era against another era, and Tom Morello obviously is a big left-tard.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, I mean, his politics are his politics.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_03: It's not about that.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_03: It's about when you think of Aerosmith, you don't think of Rage Against the Machine.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_03: True.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_03: And vice versa.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_03: He's only there because he's become one of those fucking guys.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_03: I'm really surprised I don't see Wolfgang Van Halen's name on this, honestly.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: That is true.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_03: You know, that's the one that surprised me that he's not on it.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_03: What does Sammy Hagar have to do with Aerosmith?
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: Well, Sammy's been around a long time,
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: and I don't know if Sammy has any relation with Aerosmith going all the way back to
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: the Montrose days.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_03: There's not a recognizable thing, though.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_03: Like Run DMC makes sense.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because they're bringing Aerosmith back from the dead,
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: more or less, with the Walk This Way collaboration thing.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_03: What does Pat Monaghan of Train have to do with Aerosmith?
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_01: Well, what does Black Crowes have to do with Aerosmith?
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_03: And again, I'm reaching here, and I could be wrong.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_03: Weren't the Black Crows supposed to be the opener on that tour that got canceled?
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_03: I thought it was.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe, I don't know.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_03: I could be wrong
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_01: on that.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_01: You mean the one just recently?
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: Within the last two years, the whole farewell thing?
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I thought it was Black Crows were the opener.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: I could be wrong.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_01: They may have been.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_03: I could be very wrong on that.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_03: Andrew Watt, another one.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_03: There's just a lot of these names that I'm sick of seeing at every fucking thing.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_03: They're literally like the Hollywood douchebag that shows up at every awards ceremony.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: Do they share management?
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm sure they probably do.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sure they probably do, but Andrew Watt, most
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: people- Who is that?
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_03: He's the guy that did guitars and produced the last two Ozzy records.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_01: He was also in,
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_03: not Black Country Communion,
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_03: but whatever that other side thing was that Glenn Hughes did.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_03: California Breed.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_03: He was the guitar player in that as well.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_03: But he's just another one of these guys.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_03: Same with Nuno Betancourt.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_03: Nuno Betancourt, I know he has a friendship with Steven Tyler.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_03: I get that because...
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_03: He's played with Steven Tyler.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_01: They're Boston boys.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_03: But Nuno is another one of these guys.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_03: He just is in all this bullshit.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: He's a big session guy.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: He plays for everybody.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: You know, our good friend John Levin just worships Nuno.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_03: Dude, I think he's a great guitar player.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: I don't like him as a guy, but he's a great guitar player.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_03: But like, you know, just some of this stuff is like, you know what they're going to do here.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_03: They're not going to, Aerosmith's not going to play 18 songs.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_01: They're going to play like five.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: Well, this is what I'm wondering, and finish your thoughts on this whole thing.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_03: I just, I'm looking at this list and I'm like,
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_03: this is going to be one of these mishmashy and friends things where You're going
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_03: to get, well, this guy's going to come out and play guitar on Sweet Emotion.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_03: And this guy's going to sing or co-sing with Steven Tyler on Dream On.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_03: And it's not going to be what we really want.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: Well, okay, go ahead.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_03: No, you go ahead.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_03: I just think it's going to end up being one of these sort
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_03: of half-assed tribute things that none of us like.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_03: That's my vibe, is it's going to be that.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_03: And before they even play a note, I can already tell you what this is going to lead to.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_03: Well, now they did this, where's the tour?
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_03: Everybody's going to want them to tour.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_03: No matter what they do on this stupid thing.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_03: And I don't think they're going to tour.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_03: I just don't see it happening.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_03: You know,
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_03: I don't see Steven being willing to risk it again when he has all the money in
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_03: the world and he doesn't need it.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_03: That's my, again, that's my hunch.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I saw this too, Hardy Boy.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_03: Today it was announced that the full Guns N' Roses will be out there, not just Slash and Duff.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_03: It's great.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_03: We get Mickey Mouse singing.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_03: Jamie, crying or whatever.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_01: Jamie's crying.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_03: So I don't know.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_03: I want to be excited about it.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_03: I really, really do.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_03: But I'm sort of not.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_03: I see all these names and I'm like,
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_03: I don't want to see Billy Idol singing a fucking Aerosmith song.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_03: I don't really want to see Steve Stevens sharing guitars with the Aerosmith guitarists.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_03: I want to see Aerosmith.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Joe Perry.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_03: I want to see Aerosmith.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_03: I don't want to see Kenny Aronoff.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_03: And again,
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_03: this is nothing against any of these guys,
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_03: except Tom Morello, who I think is a fucking jizz bag.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_03: But all the rest of them, I'm fine with every other name on here that I know.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know who Marcus King is.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_03: Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_03: Another one of these guys.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_03: He gets the call all the time for this kind of shit.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_03: It's like, it's half the Aussie thing again.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_03: Like, how many of these guys played the Aussie thing?
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_03: Andrew Watt, I think, I'm pretty sure he did.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_03: Wasn't Billy Idol there?
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_03: I think he was.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_03: Certainly the Guns N' Roses guys were there.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_03: Certainly the Alice in Chains guys were there.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_03: Nuno was there.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_03: He was like the music director, him and Morello.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_03: Sammy Hagar was there.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_03: You know, this doesn't feel too special.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_03: I guess that's really what it is to me.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_03: I would have rather seen two 30-minute performances from Aerosmith.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_03: Wouldn't you?
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_03: Perhaps.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_03: All right, go ahead.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_03: I'm rambling and rambling.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_03: What are you thinking?
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: Well, here's what I'm thinking.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to go with your premise about the success of
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: the whole Aussie Black Sabbath going away party.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: Because as you mentioned,
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: a majority of these names that are on this thing,
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_01: they all participated in the Black Sabbath thing.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: So whoever is behind this sees a big payday.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: Hello?
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: Hello?
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: Good afternoon.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: How are you?
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm good.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just in the middle of a confessional church, but I got time.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, you're at church?
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to bother you.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's okay.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: I'm at the confessional, but the priest is in here.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: I've been here for like 20 minutes, so I got time.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, real quick, this is a mortgage.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: Now, were you looking to pay off debt or make some home improvements?
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: Both, actually.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: Man, I haven't been at confessional in years.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even know how it works anymore to you.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: Confession?
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: Excuse me?
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: Are you asking me if I know?
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just honestly a little stunned.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Catholic.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: I don't understand.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Like, that's not okay.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: You should probably say something about this in your confessions.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: Is it a joke to you?
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: No, I'm always asking you if you knew.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't been here in a while.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just having a conversation with you.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: Why are you asking me?
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'm confused.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a little bit taken back.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: You're taken back.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm honestly uncomfortable.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think you believe in me.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you should leave that church.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: No, I'm not.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: You're not a good person.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: Why am I not a good person?
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like this.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like this.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'm asking for advice.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: I'm in the confessional right now waiting for the priest.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: That's why I just asked you that question.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: That's awesome.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't out of the blue.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_00: Congratulations.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: You're at a church.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: There's deacons.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: There's everybody around you.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: James, you got to take care of yourself a little bit better.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: You can't be in a church and talk like that.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's why I'm in the confessional.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: I'm trying to get better.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, hello?
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: Hi.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: Hi, this is Father Don.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: Do you have any sins you'd like to confess, son?
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: Is using a butt plug a sin?
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: What I don't know is where does the payday come from?
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: Because with all of these people on this bill,
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: Do ticket sales,
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_01: and again,
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what they're paying everybody to be there,
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_01: what they're paying them to be there for,
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: but does ticket sales pay for all of this or is this all in merchandising
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: or streaming or,
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: and I'm looking from the business angle,
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: not from the music fan angle because there's got to be an angle here
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_01: to make it worthwhile.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: They haven't announced it yet, but I'll bet anything it's going to be streaming.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so what do the Aerosmith guys get paid?
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_01: What do the Black Crows guys get paid, run DMC and down the line?
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: Because some of these people are very high-profile people.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you're not getting slash coming out there and doing it for nothing.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_03: Or full Guns N' Roses.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, or Nuno Betcourt or any of those things.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_01: Unless, you know,
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_01: they're voluntarily doing this as a favor or friend or whatever,
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: but that's probably not the case.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm sure they're all getting paid.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: So where does...
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: This whole thing has to generate a lot of money to pay for everybody.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_01: And again, I've been to the Hollywood Bowl numerous times in my life when I lived in California.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: And that place holds 18,000, 20,000 people at the most.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: Is 18 or 20,000 people going to cover the costs for paying everybody and production
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_01: and blah, blah, blah?
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: So where's the money angle in this is my question.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_01: Where is the value in this for the promoter who is putting this whole thing on?
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_03: I don't remember,
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_03: but I don't think,
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_03: and again,
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_03: I could be wrong on this,
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think they announced the streaming part of the Aussie thing until after
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_03: the tickets were sold.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_03: So that makes me think they'll probably wait till that and then announce maybe week
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_03: of streaming.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_03: Don't miss it.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_01: Then the second part of this is, is this just a test run for Aerosmith?
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's hard to say.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, if it is, they're testing a bunch of stuff.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_01: But is this a test run to see if perhaps they can perform as Aerosmith?
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: You know, will Steven's voice hold up?
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, could be.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: are the band healthy enough to pull off this final tour that they want
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_01: to do two years ago?
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_03: Who's playing drums too?
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: That's another question.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_01: You just hit the nail on the head.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: I was just going to ask, is Joey Kramer going to be the drummer?
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't know.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: Because there was obviously issues with his, quote unquote, his ability, whatever that is.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_03: And nowhere in the press release does it say anything about Joey Kramer.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_03: It doesn't say anything about the lineup.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_03: Let me go back to the picture.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_03: Is he in this picture?
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's right there.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: He's second from the right.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so he's in the photo.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, is that a current photo?
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to assume it's a current photo.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_03: I think it is, just because I recognize Hamilton from when he...
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_03: Came on and did not talk on our,
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_03: what is it, not Elegant Weapons, was it Close Enemies interview?
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_03: When he tried to talk.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_03: I feel so bad for that dude.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_03: Dude makes millions of dollars,
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_03: and right when he's about to retire, he loses his ability to speak.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_03: That blows.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_03: That absolutely blows.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_03: Can't even order the hookers on the phone.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_01: So, a lot of questions there.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_01: It's just like, what is the reason for this?
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_01: Why now?
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_01: You know, all of a sudden, it's just announced on very short notice.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_03: And the announcement was goofed up, too.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_03: That's a whole other thing, is how organized is this thing going to be?
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_03: Because did you see it was...
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_03: Like, they put out a whole thing, like a teaser and everything about...
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_03: Tomorrow, 10 a.m. or something.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_03: Then tomorrow at 10 a.m. came and went.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_03: And at like 6 p.m., they put out another thing and said, well, really, it's tomorrow.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_03: It's like, ooh, that doesn't feel right.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't know, man.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_03: I want it to be good in the worst way.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_03: Everybody says that me and you are way too negative or whatever.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_03: Not negative.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_01: Is it negative to ask questions?
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_03: It is.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_03: Is it?
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_03: If you don't just ask, kiss it and say, oh, this is the best thing ever, man.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: Why can't you ask questions?
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_01: Not allowed.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_01: See, the thing is, is you've known me a long time.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_01: I'm a businessman.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_01: I do business.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: And I look at the return on investment.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_01: And regardless if it's entertainment or if it's,
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_01: whatever other kind of business you're in, I always look at return on investment.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sure.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_01: So where is the return on investment in this?
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_01: And the questions come from not knowing.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's not because it's like, well, that makes a lot of, you know, sense business wise.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's just like, I don't know the answer.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm going to ask the question.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: But it isn't because of my fandom, because I love Aerosmith.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: I've seen Aerosmith many times, you know, and I like most of the people who are on the bill.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: I love Black Crows.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_01: I like Guns N' Roses.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: I do too.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_01: You know, all these people.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_01: But regardless of that,
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_01: Does it make sense in my head from what I know in my years of doing this show
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_01: and being involved in the business?
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not like some kind of power broker,
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_01: obviously, but I know the business well enough to ask the questions.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to read this.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to answer it, and I'm sure you're going to want to answer it too.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_03: Scooby in the chat room, it's how you ask the questions.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_03: You sound skeptical.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, it is skeptical.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_03: Go ahead.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_03: I was going to say the same thing.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_03: I am skeptical of it.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_03: I'm absolutely skeptical of it until they show me that there's no reason to be skeptical.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_03: Because I've watched these things flounder a lot of times.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_03: Honestly, in my lifetime, I can think of two things.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_03: Of these kind of things that have not floundered.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_03: Live Aid and Ozzy's last show.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_03: Can you think of any other ones that were just not lukewarm?
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: Well, the skepticism comes from the fact that this was announced so short in advance.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, how did this get thrown together so quickly?
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_01: Typically,
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_01: something like this of this kind of magnitude usually takes planning way ahead
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: of time.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I mean, look at the, look at, let's just take Metallica at the Sphere.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: That was announced, what, like six or eight months ago?
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_01: This thing was just announced for a show that's going to take place in three weeks.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_01: Where, what, what's the deal here?
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_01: And again,
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_01: if you've ever been to the Hollywood Bowl,
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_01: It's just an outdoor shed like most places.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's iconic and everything.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_01: But how does this thing make it worthwhile for the promoter, whoever that is?
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_01: Because our two nights, it's two nights, 40,000 seats.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_01: At whatever dollar amount that sells,
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_01: is that going to cover the cost of everybody involved with this?
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_01: Did they get everybody to sign off and say,
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_01: we're just doing this because we're friends of Aerosmith?
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_01: These are the questions.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's not because we think it's a foolhardy venture.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's just like, how do you pull something like this off?
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_03: What do you think these tickets are going to cost?
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, they're not putting that out there either.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_03: I'm thinking five.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_03: Are they on sale?
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_03: No, not yet.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_03: They're not on sale yet.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_03: Not yet.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_01: When do they go on sale?
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_03: Let me go back to that page.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_03: They go on sale.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_03: Where is that Citibank bullshit?
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_03: Tickets,
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_03: pre-sale tickets go on sale October 8th at 10 a.m.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_01: All right, so the pre-sales are on sale.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, so wait a minute, until Friday for complete The general on sale.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, maybe it is on sale on the 10th.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_01: Well, let's find out what that costs.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_01: Let's find it out.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, let's see.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_03: Let me see here.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_03: LiveNation.com.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_03: Search Aerosmith.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_01: It would not surprise me if it sold out already.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_03: it wouldn't surprise
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_01: me either.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_01: But...
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_01: The whole thing is, regardless of it being sold out or not, 40,000 tickets, two nights.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_03: Well, wow.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: What are we talking here?
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_03: $2.75 a ticket for Section P3.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_03: Where's that?
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_03: That's way over here.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not putting it on the screen here.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_03: Hold on.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_03: That's over here.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_03: $275 plus fees and whatever.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_03: Section X is $238.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_03: And everything up front is gone.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: Of course.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_03: Let's see.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_03: What is G worth?
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_03: How much are these tickets?
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_03: $915.00.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_03: $915.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, $1,000.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_03: Here we go, $1,006 a ticket.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_03: There you go.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_03: $1,000 a ticket.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_03: Well, that's how they're going to pay for it.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_03: Woof.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_03: What is that ticket?
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_03: $1,000 ticket, yeah.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_03: So they sold all these tickets for $1,000 a hit.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_03: $1,000 in here.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_03: $200,300 here.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_03: What did these cost?
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_03: Can you see?
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_01: Now you can't see.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_01: Well, $250 a ticket at $40,000 on an average.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's $10 million.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_03: I guess that's how it pays for itself.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_01: I guess.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sure you can pay everybody and make money with $10 million.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_03: And if you add streaming to it, it's going to be another $5 million.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_03: It'll charge $35 a hit or something for streaming.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_03: Get a million there.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_03: You might get a million there.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_03: Think a million people would stream this thing?
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_01: Over two nights?
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_01: In the world?
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, a million people in the world, sure.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_03: So if they charge $35, it's $35 million on top of it.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_03: There's your money.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_03: I just hate that fucking all this stuff,
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_03: we made all these bands and now it's just become a luxury to see these bands.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, of course.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_03: It's a luxury purchase now.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_03: It's not an entertainment purchase anymore.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_03: It just sucks.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_03: I fucking hate this business.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_01: Well, even the shitty seats of Section P3
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_03: Terrible.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_03: Even these seats, X.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_03: Let's go out to these X.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_03: These X2, you're basically at the back.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_03: And that's $286.
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, when I lived in California,
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_01: I used to get tickets like around the Terrace 5, Terrace 4 section to go see shows.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_01: They might have been $80.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_03: Dude, now to sit in the back row, $292.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_03: $292.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_03: Got to pay to park there, I'll bet, too, don't you?
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course.
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_03: So add another $100.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_03: So that'd be $392.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_03: Going to get a beer?
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_03: That's probably $25 a hit.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe more.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe more.
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_01: California prices.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's true.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_03: And then the fees on top, I mean,
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_03: this is a thousand dollar night,
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_03: no matter, thousand to two thousand dollars to go to this shit.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_03: God, what a fucking scam.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_03: It's such a fucking scam, man.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_01: It is, I agree.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_03: That's disheartening.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_03: I hadn't looked at this stuff, but that is disheartening, isn't it?
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and again, this goes back to what we've always asked.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_01: Are people going into debt to go see these things?
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_03: Or is it just a bunch of OnlyFans models that make $10,000 a day?
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_01: Are they putting this on a credit card to pay off over time?
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_01: Or are they paying this all up front?
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_03: You know they're putting it on cards, too.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_01: See, I would never do anything like that.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know they are.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_03: So that $1,000 ticket costs them about $1,750 or whatever by the time they pay for it.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and that's just for your ticket.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_01: You're going to take a date or your kid or your wife or whatever the fuck.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_01: So you're in for two grand.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:39
  SPEAKER_01: For you and your, you know, your associate.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not saying that's completely unaffordable, but that's fucking, that's a lot.
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_03: For what, two hours?
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, that's a lot.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's terrible.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not saying it's not terrible.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_03: I'm just saying it's not complete.
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_03: No, it's not like the Metallica shit.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_03: The Metallica shit is ridiculous.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_03: $10,000 for a fucking seat.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_03: Fuck you.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_03: There's not an event on this planet that's worth $10,000.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_03: There's nothing.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_01: Led Zeppelin.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_01: Not for two hours.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_03: There's no act that could play a show that I would ever consider $10,000 on.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_03: Is there any act that you would consider spending that much money?
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_01: No, not at all.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_03: Would you even consider half of that for anything?
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_01: No, absolutely not.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_01: Me either.
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I've been to hundreds of concerts in my life.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_01: I'll live with those memories before I spend,
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_01: two, three, four, $5,000 for a goddamn seat for two, two to two and a half hours.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_01: Are you shitting me?
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_01: That's crazy talk.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_03: That is crazy talk.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_03: And you don't even know what you're going to hear.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_03: That's the other thing.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_03: You might get five fucking Aerosmith songs from actual Aerosmith.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_03: Can you imagine if you spent $2,000 for you and your chick
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_03: and they played five songs as the original band and all the rest of it was like
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_03: an all-star jam?
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_01: And then they play five shitty 90 songs.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_03: It's all crying.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_01: Like crazy or some shit.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_01: Jamie's got a gun.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_03: You know, can you imagine?
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, that could happen.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_03: Amazing.
• 32:41
  SPEAKER_03: You know, the Armageddon song.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_03: I don't want to close my eyes.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_03: Can you imagine if you got that for $1,000?
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_03: You'd be looking to riot.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_03: What a fucking disaster.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_03: Wow, I wish I hadn't seen these prices.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_03: Now I'm right back to negative again.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_01: Well, again,
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_01: do you think some high-end promoter is going to promote a show like this
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_01: without getting some kind of, again, return on investment?
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they've got to get their money.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_03: I get it.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_02: Stop scrolling.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_02: This is the one.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_02: After five years, Plush is back.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_02: The all-female power trio.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_02: Vocalist and guitarist Mariah Formica.
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_02: Bassist Ashley Supa and drummer Faith Powell.
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_02: Just dropped their first full length since 2021.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_02: Mass hysteria is here.
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_02: Raw, loud, unapologetic.
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_02: The kind of record that hits like a live show in your chest.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_02: Do not wait.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_02: Click the link at the bottom of the screen or in the description.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_02: And get it now.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_01: But again, who are these people paying this kind of money?
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_03: That is always the million dollar question, isn't it?
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_03: It's a bunch of jerk offs that we wouldn't want to be at a concert with.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_01: That's who it is.
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I can, you know me, I can afford to do that if I wanted to.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't do it.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_01: It's not worth it to me to do that.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_01: No way.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_03: I just can't see.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_03: I can't see me coming.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_03: Technically, I could afford it.
• 34:35
  SPEAKER_03: I could do the same thing.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_03: I'd throw it on a credit card and go.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_03: My thought, though,
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_03: is how mad am I going to be no matter how good the show is after it
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_03: that I spent $2,000?
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_03: I'm going to hate that show for the rest of my life no matter how great it is.
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_03: I would.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_03: If I spent $2,000, forget Aerosmith.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I love Aerosmith,
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_03: but I'll go to like the Metallica,
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_03: Metallica or Pantera, which are my two favorite bands.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_03: And I did go and see them in Detroit and I sat
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_01: and- You drove.
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_01: I drove.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_01: Which is surprising to everybody.
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_01: That you actually went to the mean streets of Detroit.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_03: But you know me, you know those are my two bands.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, of course.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_03: But I'll tell you, if I hadn't gotten a deal on the tickets, I would not have drove.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_03: Tell you that now.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_03: If I hadn't gotten my tickets for $150, there's no chance I'm going to that.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_01: Not only that, you drove home after the show.
• 35:46
  SPEAKER_01: I did.
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_03: I absolutely did.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_01: You didn't even stay.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_01: You didn't even get a hotel and stay.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_01: You just, like, you toughed it out and drove across the Ohio Turnpike and went home.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_03: What am I going to stay for?
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_03: So that I'm not tired in the morning?
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_03: I'm nocturnal anyway.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_03: I was just like, fuck this.
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I mean, hotels.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_03: I just didn't want to add another 200 bucks.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_03: 200 bucks.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
• 36:15
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I just didn't want to add that and then breakfast and all that other bullshit.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_03: I was like, fuck that.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_03: I'll just go home.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_01: And I was home.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just on through the night, just like Def Leppard.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_03: I was much more optimistic about this thing before we started talking about it.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_03: Now I'm just like, God damn it.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_03: Stop being so skeptical, Chris.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_03: You're just being
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_01: an asshole.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, there's a reason I'm skeptical now.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_03: Fucking thousand dollar tickets.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_03: Fuck you.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_03: That is ridiculous.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_03: Oof.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_03: Oof.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_03: Ah.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_03: Anyway, if you want to go see Aerosmith, put your kid on the block for sale.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_03: Jesus Christ.
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_03: That just sucks.
• 37:12
  [music]
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yo, you glam metal savages,
• 37:27

• 37:32
  SPEAKER_02: This is it,

• 37:40

• 37:44
  SPEAKER_02: 1 and Merry-Go-Round will have you smashing the volume knob.
• 37:48
  SPEAKER_02: Remastered, meaner than ever, and ready to key rank in your ride or your man cave.
