7:59
SPEAKER_06: Yep.
8:00
SPEAKER_06: You know?
8:00
SPEAKER_06: So that got me thinking about that.
8:02
SPEAKER_01: And I remember too when I was living on Mechanic Street, uh newly married, and we used to watch the original CSI religiously too.
8:13
SPEAKER_06: We did?
8:14

11:22
SPEAKER_06: That's what I meant.
11:24
SPEAKER_01: Um but he was asking him about the Band of Brothers, and and he was it's funny that you brought that up because he was he was talking about how he was watching the Band of Brothers with his son, um, Neil was.
11:40
SPEAKER_01: And because Mike had asked him, you know, the Band of Brothers is is special to you, isn't it?
11:45
SPEAKER_01: And and he got I mean, he was like wicked emotional.
11:49
SPEAKER_01: You know, because especially like I guess there's a certain aspect I've never seen the show.
11:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
11:55
SPEAKER_01: Um but there's a certain scene or a certain storyline or something that he was involved with um that was very moving to him.
12:07
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I know, I know I know what they're I know what he's talking about.
12:09
SPEAKER_01: The whole series he I think was moving to him, but yeah, but there was a certain aspect of his involvement that you could tell had a big effect on him.
12:19
SPEAKER_06: Well, I mean the show is based on actual people.
12:21
SPEAKER_01: Right.
12:21
SPEAKER_01: You know, and and what they went through from That's what it was because he he was saying that the there were they were on set.
12:30
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
12:30
SPEAKER_01: Like as a consultants or whatever, something like that.
12:32
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
12:33

12:40
SPEAKER_06: Right.
12:41
SPEAKER_06: And uh he had to leave the unit.
12:44
SPEAKER_06: He got transferred out, and I think that's what he's talking about, because he just you know, he just lost it.
12:48
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know.
12:49
SPEAKER_06: Not not lost it, lost it, but he just you know, he just lost all feeling, you know, he just lost he was just he was a robot.
12:55
SPEAKER_06: Right.
12:55
SPEAKER_06: You know, so yeah, yeah, it's a it's a it's a good show.
12:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, is that the that's Tom Hanks produced Spielberg?
13:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Tom Hanks uh Spielberg did it.
13:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's why I remember hearing a lot about it, and I remember there's uh I guess the music in that in that show was really good because I f I follow like film composers and stuff like that.
13:13
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I can't remember who uh I think Han uh no uh uh Michael Kamen.
13:18
SPEAKER_01: Michael Kamen did the Yeah, that sounds right.
13:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that sounds right.
13:21
SPEAKER_06: Because Han Han Zimmer did the music for the Pacific.
13:25
SPEAKER_01: Oh really?
13:25
SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, you know, but I mean they're just they're they're the same thing, but they're just too different because the European Theater of War and the Pacific Theater of War are two very different animals.
13:35
SPEAKER_00: Right.
13:36
SPEAKER_06: Because the Germans were, you know, I don't want to say war was civilized, but it was a little more, you know, these guys got to go to Paris to you know, for R and R stuff like this.
13:48
SPEAKER_06: In the Pacific, you didn't have that, right?
13:50
SPEAKER_06: And the Japanese were fighting to the death, so it was much more brutal in the Pacific theater than it was in the European theater.
14:00
SPEAKER_01: Right.
14:00
SPEAKER_06: See, and you can see you can tell the difference between the two from these shows.
14:04

14:44
SPEAKER_01: But on writing.
14:46
SPEAKER_01: Get this.

14:55
SPEAKER_01: Is it a coloring book?
14:56

14:57
SPEAKER_06: How about a pop-up book?
14:59
SPEAKER_06: Uh that would be great.
15:00
SPEAKER_06: If I ever write a memoir, it's gonna be a pop-up book.
15:03
SPEAKER_06: It's gonna be awesome.
15:05
SPEAKER_01: You should read it like uh it's it's I think it's tentatively titled uh Brothers.

15:16
SPEAKER_01: But get this it's 384-page hardcover, 720-minute audiobook.
15:25
SPEAKER_01: That's 12 hours.
15:27
SPEAKER_06: Holy crap.
15:29
SPEAKER_01: Because if he's reading it himself, maybe it took him twelve hours.
15:32
SPEAKER_06: Well, you know, you never know.
15:34
SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
15:35
SPEAKER_01: It is Alex Van Halen, I think.
15:37
SPEAKER_01: 720-minute audiobook and an e-book.
15:40
SPEAKER_01: Uh it's gonna focus on his relationship with Eddie.
15:43
SPEAKER_06: Are they two is it the same book or is it two different books?
15:46
SPEAKER_01: Well, according to this, it says uh to be available as a 384-page hardcover, a 720-minute audiobook, and an e-book.
15:55
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay, so uh I guess they're gonna release it digitally, maybe you know.
16:00
SPEAKER_06: Well, it's not like an audible or you know, something like that.
16:02
SPEAKER_01: Something like that, yeah.
16:04
SPEAKER_01: Um on your Kindle.
16:06
SPEAKER_01: He said and it's interesting too to because he's so quiet.
16:11
SPEAKER_01: I mean, you don't hear anything from Alex, especially since Eddie dies.
16:14
SPEAKER_06: I honestly don't even know what he sounds like as a person.
16:18
SPEAKER_01: Really?
16:19
SPEAKER_06: You very rarely ever hear any interviews with him.
16:23
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, I mean, I mean, I from old interviews, obviously I know what he sounds like, but but these days, I don't know.
16:29
SPEAKER_01: Um, he said he said this, he has said a couple cool things in this interview.
16:36
SPEAKER_01: Um he says, playing live, there should be no dead space.
16:41
SPEAKER_01: Never turn your back on the audience and never insult them.
16:43
SPEAKER_01: They are equal to you.
16:44
SPEAKER_01: That line that separates the audience from the stage, that's not a line.
16:48
SPEAKER_01: That's just to keep them from puking on your stuff.
16:50
SPEAKER_01: He didn't say stuff.
16:52
SPEAKER_01: Uh you're there to make the audience feel good, which is something I've always said too.
16:56
SPEAKER_01: Um but then he said, There's nothing left in the music business.
17:01
SPEAKER_01: It's a bunch of ones and zeros.
17:03
SPEAKER_01: In the old days you'd get a dollar a record, and now you get 50 cents for 275,000 streams.
17:08
SPEAKER_01: It's insane, it's wrong.
17:10
SPEAKER_01: Now the only thing you have is playing live, which is ironic because that's how it all started.
17:16
SPEAKER_01: Um I'm glad to hear him say it.
17:20
SPEAKER_06: Well, he's definitely not alone in saying that.
17:23
SPEAKER_06: No, of course not.
17:23
SPEAKER_01: Of course not.

19:25
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so we didn't do it in February last year.
19:28
SPEAKER_01: No.
19:29
SPEAKER_01: Or the beginning of the year last year.
19:30

19:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's probably true.
19:44
SPEAKER_06: I think that's what he means.
19:45
SPEAKER_01: That's probably true.
19:46
SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
19:46
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, so Sarcidi Syndicate, um, who all can make it, and most of us made it uh for this one, right?
19:53

19:56
SPEAKER_06: Or two.
19:58
SPEAKER_06: Two weren't there.
19:59

SPEAKER_01: Oh, well, that's true.
20:03

20:07
SPEAKER_01: Yep, okay.
20:08
SPEAKER_01: Yep, you're right.
20:09
SPEAKER_01: Um but yeah, so we played at a high school uh in in Caribou.
20:16
SPEAKER_01: Um and we did that in the morning.
20:19
SPEAKER_01: We played for about, I don't know, an hour.
20:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was about an hour.
20:21
SPEAKER_01: Hour, hour and a half, something like that.
20:23

20:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
20:33
SPEAKER_01: So and and both were fun for different reasons.
20:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
20:36
SPEAKER_06: I think the the high school kids uh got out of class and uh well that that I think that was the big thing is that you know we were a distraction for you know the last it was the last day of school before vacation, so they're not really interested in being in class.
20:51
SPEAKER_01: So that's that's so we were a nice distraction, so anything they can do to get out of class is is all right with them and and you know we were happy to be that for them.
21:00
SPEAKER_01: Heck yeah.
21:00
SPEAKER_01: And then uh the elementary kids, I don't think they knew what to think at first, uh, but as soon as we started playing, uh you know, all the teachers are like, let's dance.
21:10
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and that uh and then of course there was creepy staring kid.
21:14
SPEAKER_01: Um he was not having it.
21:17
SPEAKER_06: He was not about it at all.
21:19
SPEAKER_06: He was just hands in his pockets and just standing in the middle of the floor, yeah, and staring everybody down.
21:26
SPEAKER_06: And I was like, Yeah, okay, this kid's either a future serial killer or you know, just weird.
21:34
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know.
21:35
SPEAKER_06: I mean, I don't know.
21:36
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I don't know if he's got a a disability uh developmental.

21:44
SPEAKER_01: I was gonna like start dan because I had my wireless.
21:46
SPEAKER_01: I was gonna go start dancing with him or something.
21:49
SPEAKER_06: He might have killed you.
21:49
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
21:50
SPEAKER_06: He might have shivved you.
21:50
SPEAKER_06: That's why I I kept my distance.
21:52
SPEAKER_06: I think that's why his hand is in his pocket, because he he'd he'd fashioned a shiv out of a butter knife during lunch.
21:58
SPEAKER_06: Right.
21:58
SPEAKER_06: So
22:00

SPEAKER_01: Although the one thing, because we were you know, we were there at at night, it was dark out, and we're sitting right next to the window right on the front of the building.
36:24

SPEAKER_06: I love an audience while I eat.
36:37
SPEAKER_01: Um, so before we do our uh before we climb the wall of tunes, uh and before we actually read from A Hard Days Right, yes, uh, we should mention our our bonus Beatles bit.
36:51
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
36:53
SPEAKER_01: So Paul McCartney got his bass back after 50 years.
37:00
SPEAKER_06: It's like when Stella got her groove back.
37:02
SPEAKER_01: Right.
37:03
SPEAKER_06: Paul Paul got his bass back.
37:05
SPEAKER_01: So his bass was stolen in like 1971 or something like that.
37:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
37:10
SPEAKER_01: Uh his Hoffner violin bass.
37:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
37:13
SPEAKER_01: Uh which was very special to him because he found it um was it like in Germany?
37:21
SPEAKER_06: Is that right?
37:22
SPEAKER_06: I think he got it in Hamburg.
37:23
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
37:24
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
37:24
SPEAKER_01: And it was a left he's a lefty, yeah, right, and he he just loved the feel of it and and played it on a bunch of the Beatles records and Yeah, it's it's a it's a it's an iconic bass.
37:35
SPEAKER_01: It is, yeah, it is.
37:37
SPEAKER_01: But it w in 71 it was stolen and he hadn't seen it since.
37:41
SPEAKER_01: And there's a apparently there's a Lost Bass Project, which is uh uh uh I don't know if it's uh following the launch of last year's Lost Bass Project, Paul's 61 Hoffner 5001 bass guitar uh has been returned.
38:00
SPEAKER_01: The guitar has been authenticated by Hoffner, and Paul is incredibly grateful to all those involved.
38:06
SPEAKER_01: Yes, he did purchase it in Hamburg, you're right.
38:08
SPEAKER_01: In 1961.
38:11
SPEAKER_01: Um and he bought it for, get this about thirty-eight dollars.
38:17
SPEAKER_01: Thirty-eight US dollars.
38:19
SPEAKER_06: Which was huge money back then.
38:21
SPEAKER_06: Right.
38:21
SPEAKER_01: So he found the violin base.
38:25
SPEAKER_01: Uh to me it was it was left-handed, it looked less daft because it was symmetrical.
38:30
SPEAKER_01: He got into that, and once he bought it, he fell in love with it.
38:32
SPEAKER_01: So it's good to see that with some hard work uh from the Lost Bass project, MACA has been reunited with the Hoffner.
38:42
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, that's nice.
38:43
SPEAKER_06: It's a nice feel-good story.
38:45
SPEAKER_06: It is.
38:45
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
38:46
SPEAKER_01: So, um it's a brrr moment.
38:49
SPEAKER_01: And while I climb the wall of tunes looking for our CD of the day, or CD of the week, I should say.
38:55
SPEAKER_01: Yes, you're gonna read from a hard day's right.
38:58
SPEAKER_06: And I'm going to read about my least favorite Beatles song ever.
39:02
SPEAKER_06: Revolution?
39:03
SPEAKER_06: Nope.
39:04
SPEAKER_06: What is it?
39:04
SPEAKER_06: Hello, goodbye.
39:05
SPEAKER_06: Really?
39:06
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I hate that song.
39:07
SPEAKER_06: Why?
39:08
SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
39:08
SPEAKER_06: It's just so it's just very You say yes, I say no, you say hi, and I say go go no.
39:20
SPEAKER_01: It's a obviously a Paul McCartney.
39:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
39:23
SPEAKER_06: It screams Paul McCartney on some serious weed.
39:27
SPEAKER_06: That's what it is.
39:29
SPEAKER_06: I mean, if you've ever seen the video for it, it's just like them in those brightly colored, like military-ish uniforms with hula girls and I have no idea, man.
39:40
SPEAKER_01: Right.
39:40
SPEAKER_01: Alright, we get to it.
39:41
SPEAKER_01: While I climb the wall.
39:42
SPEAKER_06: Alright, uh Alistair Taylor, who worked for Brian Epstein, remembered once asking Paul how he wrote his songs, and Paul taking him into his dining room to give him a demonstration on a hand-carved harmonium.
39:57
SPEAKER_06: He told Taylor to shout out the opposite of whatever he sang as he struck the keys.
40:02
SPEAKER_06: And so it went.
40:03
SPEAKER_06: Black and white, yes and no, stop and go, hello and goodbye.
40:08
SPEAKER_06: I've no memory at all of the tune, Taylor later recounted.
40:11
SPEAKER_06: You have to remember that melodies are as common as a as common around the Beatles as bugs in May.
40:18
SPEAKER_06: Some grow into bright butterflies, and others shrivel and die.
40:22
SPEAKER_06: I wonder whether Paul really made up that song as we as he went along or whether it was running through his head already.
40:28
SPEAKER_06: Anyway, shortly after, he arrived at the office with a demo tape of his beloved latest single, Hello Goodbye.
40:36
SPEAKER_06: The last part of the record where the Beatles repeat the line, Hey La, Hey Aloha, came about spontaneously in the studio.
40:45
SPEAKER_06: Aloha is an affectionate form of Hawaiian greeting.
40:49
SPEAKER_06: No is it?
40:51
SPEAKER_06: Wow! Uh if Hello Goodbye was nothing more than a word game set to music in the mystical climate of 1967, Paul was expected to offer a deeper interpretation.
41:04
SPEAKER_06: In an interview with Disc, he gallantly tried to produce an explanation.
41:09
SPEAKER_06: The answer to everything is simple.
41:10
SPEAKER_06: It's a song about everything and nothing.
41:13
SPEAKER_06: If you have black, you have to have white.
41:16
SPEAKER_06: That's the amazing thing about life.
41:18
SPEAKER_06: Hello Goodbye was released as a single in November 1967 and topped the charts in both Britain and America.
41:24
SPEAKER_06: The final Aloha chorus was used in the magical magical mystery tour of Phil.
41:31
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I yeah, other than Revolution, that's my least favorite Beatles song.
41:36
SPEAKER_01: So Revolution number nine.
41:38
SPEAKER_06: Revolution number nine.
41:39
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, not the not the revolution.
41:42
SPEAKER_01: Right, that's a good tune.
41:43
SPEAKER_06: I love that tune.
41:44
SPEAKER_01: Alright.
41:45
SPEAKER_01: Um it's a good story.
41:48
SPEAKER_01: I have it's a good story, but not I have an album.
41:53
SPEAKER_01: I have a microphone.
41:55
SPEAKER_01: So let the guessing begin.
41:59
SPEAKER_01: It's the Beatles.
42:00
SPEAKER_01: No, it's not the Beatles.
42:02
SPEAKER_06: It's Elvis.
42:03
SPEAKER_06: It's not.
42:04
SPEAKER_06: It's Def Leopard.
42:07
SPEAKER_06: Is it really?
42:22
SPEAKER_06: That's hilarious.
42:23
SPEAKER_06: Was it really Deaf Leopard?
42:24
SPEAKER_06: Yes, it's Deaf Leopard.
42:27
SPEAKER_01: So it's this one.
42:28
SPEAKER_06: You're getting predictable.
42:30
SPEAKER_06: Oh, on through the night.
42:31
SPEAKER_06: Yes.
42:31
SPEAKER_06: Yes, that's a grand second.
42:33
SPEAKER_01: Which is their basically their first album.
42:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
42:35
SPEAKER_01: Their first major label um release for Mercury.
42:38
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I don't know why.
42:40
SPEAKER_06: Uh the cover always weirded me out.
42:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
42:44
SPEAKER_01: I don't know why.
42:45
SPEAKER_01: Big semi.
42:46
SPEAKER_01: Well, this is a semi-truck.
42:47
SPEAKER_01: Carrying a a uh extra large guitar.
42:51
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I don't I but I don't know why.
42:52
SPEAKER_06: It always it always struck me as I don't know, weird.
42:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
42:57
SPEAKER_06: I I don't know.
42:58
SPEAKER_01: You know what I think of when I see it though?
43:00
SPEAKER_01: And I don't know why.
43:01
SPEAKER_01: Well, I do know why.
43:02
SPEAKER_01: Trucks.
43:02
SPEAKER_01: Um, you know that uh that Stephen King movie?
43:06
SPEAKER_06: Uh oh uh um Maximum Overdrive.
43:09
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
43:10
SPEAKER_01: That's that truck.
43:11
SPEAKER_01: That's what I think of.
43:12
SPEAKER_06: Oh, maybe that's why.
43:13
SPEAKER_01: Right?
43:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
43:14
SPEAKER_01: Um because ACDC did the soundtrack to to that.
43:17
SPEAKER_06: Oh, that's right, yes, I forgot all about that.
43:19
SPEAKER_01: Uh with the Who Made Who and all that and all that stuff.
43:22
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I I I think of that movie when I s when I see that.
43:24
SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure.
43:25
SPEAKER_06: I never even thought of that.
43:26
SPEAKER_06: But this is maybe a subconscious level, that's what I'm thinking.
43:29
SPEAKER_01: So this is um this is their debut album.
43:33
SPEAKER_01: Um and it was the first the first um time America heard Def Leopard.
43:41
SPEAKER_01: They didn't on their debut album?
43:43
SPEAKER_05: On their debut album, yeah.
43:44
SPEAKER_01: Really?
43:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
43:45
SPEAKER_05: It's funny how that works.
43:47
SPEAKER_05: Wow.
43:47
SPEAKER_05: You're you're a genius.
43:50
SPEAKER_05: I guess what I was trying to do was segue.
43:54
SPEAKER_06: If we were starting to if we if we're gonna start, we should start at the beginning.
43:58
SPEAKER_05: I was trying to segue into this song.
44:01
SPEAKER_06: Hello America.
44:03
SPEAKER_06: I see what you're doing.
44:04
SPEAKER_06: Poorly done.
44:14
SPEAKER_06: So I think they're saying hello America.
44:18
SPEAKER_06: Not a hundred percent.
44:19
SPEAKER_06: You're right.
44:19
SPEAKER_06: Wow, wow.
44:23
SPEAKER_01: This is so 80s, so early 80s.
44:25
SPEAKER_01: Oh, good lord, right?
44:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
44:28
SPEAKER_01: But see, this is why I don't necessarily lump Def Leopard in, although you kind of have to, in with hairbands.
44:37
SPEAKER_01: Because, like hysteria on, they became in entwined in that whole hairband scene.
44:45
SPEAKER_06: They did, but it was by accident.
44:47
SPEAKER_06: Right.
44:48
SPEAKER_01: They're not a hairband.
44:49
SPEAKER_06: No, I mean they were part of the new wave of British heavy metal.
44:52
SPEAKER_06: So I mean you can't you can't lump them in with the hairband.
44:54
SPEAKER_00: Right.
44:55
SPEAKER_01: Um this has, believe it or not, my all-time favorite Def Leopard song on it.
45:16
SPEAKER_03: Oh.
45:17
SPEAKER_01: I bet you can't guess what it is.
45:18
SPEAKER_06: I have no idea.
45:20
SPEAKER_01: I want to get to this part in the song though.
45:26
SPEAKER_01: Um, we should say that this lineup includes Steve Clark, the late great Steve Clark, and original guitar player Pete Willis.
45:38
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, I forget about Pete.
45:40
SPEAKER_01: Um so this is before Phil Collin joined the fold.
45:45
SPEAKER_01: He didn't join really until Pyromania.
45:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he joined on Pyromania.
45:52
SPEAKER_01: Um so this is all Pete Willis and Steve Clark on guitar.
45:57
SPEAKER_01: I love this part right here.
46:04
SPEAKER_00: I've always had those great vocals.
46:14
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so there's that song that had like I think three singles from this debut album.
46:20
SPEAKER_01: That was one of them.
46:22
SPEAKER_00: This is the other one.
46:23
SPEAKER_00: Or one of the other ones.
46:25
SPEAKER_00: This is Rock Brigade.
46:27
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
46:38
SPEAKER_01: Part of me likes this Death Leopard better.
46:43
SPEAKER_01: It's more raw.
46:45
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, more on the rift heavy.
46:48
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
47:05
SPEAKER_00: So that was a single.
47:07
SPEAKER_00: And then the other single office was Wasted.
47:24
SPEAKER_00: Doesn't sound like pour some sugar on me, that's for sure.
47:26
SPEAKER_00: No!
47:33
SPEAKER_01: They were just kids, though.
47:34
SPEAKER_03: I mean they were yeah, literally just kids.
47:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the drummer, I think when when when Rick Allen joined the band, he was 15.
47:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
47:42
SPEAKER_01: And that this album, he was he was not 18 yet when they took the litter.
47:47
SPEAKER_06: No, no, definitely not.
47:48
SPEAKER_06: No.
47:50
SPEAKER_06: He was just a small child.
47:57
SPEAKER_00: But you can hear that it's just so raw, almost punk.
48:00
SPEAKER_06: Well, that I was just gonna say that this reminds me a lot of like early uh like the stuff that was coming out of SST records, you know, like uh, you know, Black Flag and Minuteman and that kind of thing, you know, from the early 80s.
48:14
SPEAKER_06: Right.
48:30
SPEAKER_00: I think Steve Clark was well, I think he had a lot to do with that.
48:34
SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, you know.
48:35
SPEAKER_06: He was a riff master.
49:02
SPEAKER_09: Oh no, no, no, today.
49:06
SPEAKER_09: You took a day magic pitch!
49:15
SPEAKER_01: Alright, so you want to hear my favorite Def Leopard song of all time?
49:19
SPEAKER_06: That wasn't it?
49:20
SPEAKER_06: No.
49:20
SPEAKER_06: Wow.
49:21
SPEAKER_01: And I might I'm gonna play a bunch of this one.
49:23
SPEAKER_01: It's just a long one.
49:24
SPEAKER_06: It's a it's a it's a ballad, isn't it?
49:26
SPEAKER_01: Well, no, well, yes and no.
49:28
SPEAKER_06: Okay.
49:29
SPEAKER_01: Um it's seven minutes and forty-four seconds.
49:32
SPEAKER_01: We're not gonna listen to the whole thing.
49:35
SPEAKER_01: But uh I don't know what it is about this song.
49:40
SPEAKER_01: It's called Overture.
49:43
SPEAKER_01: Have you ever heard it?
49:45
SPEAKER_01: I don't think so, no.
49:46
SPEAKER_06: Be honest with you.
49:49
SPEAKER_00: I just I really, really dig this song.
49:53
SPEAKER_09: End with this message the I bring to you the beacon of light.
50:05
SPEAKER_09: Just see all our time.
50:53
SPEAKER_01: We were just kidding.
50:54
SPEAKER_06: We were.
50:57
SPEAKER_06: I think I was in second grade.
52:35
SPEAKER_01: This guitar solo is just crazy.
52:51
SPEAKER_00: That's not the guitar solo.
52:52
SPEAKER_00: That's just a filter guitar solo.
52:54
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
53:13
SPEAKER_00: You know, Steve Clark.
53:17
SPEAKER_00: Actually, I don't even know if this is Steve Clark playing or whether it's people or not, but yeah.
53:22
SPEAKER_00: They just they have a way of constructing a guitar solo.
54:03
SPEAKER_01: It's like it's in movement.
54:05
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
54:06
SPEAKER_06: Like well, I was I keep getting uh twenty-one twelve vibe.
54:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's it's like it was it's a it's an epic it's an epic song.
54:17
SPEAKER_06: It's a it's it's it's very frog rock.
54:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
54:20
SPEAKER_06: You know if you really think about it.
54:22
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
54:22
SPEAKER_06: So which makes sense because 2112 came out in the mid-70s.
54:31
SPEAKER_06: This is 1980s.
54:32
SPEAKER_06: So you know this would have been like an influence.
54:35
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
54:36
SPEAKER_01: So but I mean we don't have to listen to the whole thing except we almost have.
54:51
SPEAKER_06: I was about to say we were close to it anyway.
54:54
SPEAKER_01: But uh, that's easily my favorite Death Leopard song.
54:58
SPEAKER_01: You know, even off everything off hysteria, everything off pyromania.
55:04
SPEAKER_01: Actually, this this little bit right here is again it's the riffs, it's the yeah.
55:19
SPEAKER_01: So melodic.
55:38
SPEAKER_06: Sounds like something Rush would do.
55:40
SPEAKER_06: It sounds exactly like something Rush would do.
55:43
SPEAKER_06: But Rush did it first, so this tells me that maybe they heard, you know, of course, 2112 was their biggest album at that point.
55:52
SPEAKER_06: Right.
55:53
SPEAKER_06: So, you know, I I would maybe that was an influence, maybe not.
55:57
SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
55:57
SPEAKER_06: That's just conjecture on my part.
55:59
SPEAKER_01: It could be.
56:00
SPEAKER_01: And then of course they go back to the same thing they did in the beginning of the song.
56:03
SPEAKER_06: I mean, that's I mean, that's Screams Rush, you know, or yes, or you know, any one of those prograph things, you know what I mean?
56:09
SPEAKER_06: Um I'm kinda sad that they got away from doing stuff like this, to be honest with you.
56:14
SPEAKER_01: I know, me too.
56:15
SPEAKER_06: You know, because they you know, because then Pyromania, you know, once Pyromania came out, it became more about you know, making hits and you know, not doing like big production numbers like this.
56:27
SPEAKER_06: So I don't know.
56:31
SPEAKER_01: No, I uh I I agree wholeheartedly.
56:38
SPEAKER_01: I found a found a CD in the CD case that doesn't belong there.
56:42
SPEAKER_03: So What is going on?
56:45
SPEAKER_01: Looking for the other case.
56:46
SPEAKER_06: Oh, I gotcha.
56:47
SPEAKER_06: What's the other CD?
56:48
SPEAKER_01: Jack Blades.
56:49
SPEAKER_01: Rock and roll ride.
56:50
SPEAKER_01: I can see how that works.
56:51
SPEAKER_01: I mean I have the Def Leopard CDs in there too.
56:54
SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
56:56
SPEAKER_01: So look at that, we listened to the whole thing.
56:59
SPEAKER_06: What do you know?
57:00
SPEAKER_01: What do you know?
57:01
SPEAKER_01: What do you know?
57:02
SPEAKER_01: We never do stuff like that.
57:04
SPEAKER_01: The debut album from Def Leopard on Through the Night.
57:07
SPEAKER_01: Which actually funny enough.
57:42
SPEAKER_01: They should have, you know what they should have done?
57:44
SPEAKER_01: They should because they they put a song on their second album, which was the title of the first album.
57:50
SPEAKER_01: So on through the night.
57:52
SPEAKER_06: They should have kept doing that.
57:53
SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
57:54
SPEAKER_01: So like their third album was Pyromania.
57:56
SPEAKER_01: So I on Pyromania.
58:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
58:01
SPEAKER_06: And so on and so forth.
58:02
SPEAKER_01: Just to annoy people.
58:03
SPEAKER_06: I would I think that would've been what did you find there?
58:05
SPEAKER_06: Well, I don't know.
58:06
SPEAKER_06: A quarter rest, a short sound to the last one beat.
58:10
SPEAKER_06: I was just sitting here and I was just like, oh, that's interesting.
58:13
SPEAKER_06: And then the other side is a quarter note.
58:15
SPEAKER_06: Which is a short sound.
58:17
SPEAKER_06: The last one second, like a one beat.
58:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, one second.
58:21
SPEAKER_01: Right.
58:23
SPEAKER_06: Oh, the last one, yeah.
58:24
SPEAKER_01: Did I tell you that I was a I was a music teacher.

58:36
SPEAKER_05: Those are to remind me.
58:37
SPEAKER_06: Oh, uh, we're gonna play a quarter note, and a quarter note is a short sign for one beat.
59:00
SPEAKER_01: This is only like rhythms upon the board.
59:52
SPEAKER_01: Actually, uh I have a I have a hello song that I think every time we get Oh, I have a couple of them, but one of the hello songs that I actually I wrote them both.
