17:19
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay, which I think is hilarious.
17:22
SPEAKER_02: And I wanted to see if I'm gonna be a little bit more.
17:23
SPEAKER_09: Well, because Cousin Larry is hilarious.
17:25
SPEAKER_02: Well um he sent me this uh music teacher with these kids and these uh little instruments.
17:37
SPEAKER_02: And he thought it was really cool, and I said it was really cool, and I'll I'll tell you what I said, but I wanted to see if you could pick out what my critique of of this video was.
17:45
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
17:46
SPEAKER_02: So just let's see if I can open the whole thing up.
17:48
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if I can do that.
17:49
SPEAKER_02: Uh yes, I can.
17:51
SPEAKER_02: This is a music teacher.
17:56
SPEAKER_03: Alright, let's see.
18:29
SPEAKER_02: So he he sent it to me because he thought it would be a really cool idea to do with my kids, right?
18:34
SPEAKER_02: And I said, I love this.
18:36
SPEAKER_02: Except the teacher has them clapping on one and three.
18:40
SPEAKER_09: You can tell she's not a drummer.
18:44
SPEAKER_09: Everybody on one and three, but it is I like the idea.
18:48
SPEAKER_09: I love they're all they're all singing it, right?
18:50
SPEAKER_09: That's cool.
18:52
SPEAKER_09: Oh like elementary kids.
18:54
SPEAKER_09: What are they what are they banging?
18:55
SPEAKER_02: They look like they're pots and pans, that kind of thing.
18:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
19:04
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, she's literally one and three in it.
19:09
SPEAKER_02: Let's see if it picks up again here.
19:10
SPEAKER_02: I never watched the whole thing.
19:20
SPEAKER_02: Now they're holding their pots and pans in the air.
19:27
SPEAKER_02: She puts them on two and four now.
19:33
SPEAKER_02: Nope.
19:34
SPEAKER_02: No, just still one and three.
19:37
SPEAKER_02: One and three.
19:39
SPEAKER_02: Anyway, I thought I'd share that with you, but that's just that's just she's a music teacher.
19:44
SPEAKER_02: She's got him going to the wheel.
19:44
SPEAKER_02: You would think she would know her.
19:46
SPEAKER_09: She you think she would know one and three.
19:48
SPEAKER_09: You never clap on one in three.
19:50
SPEAKER_02: Anyway, uh, I thought that was kind of funny.
19:52
SPEAKER_02: That was funny.
19:53
SPEAKER_02: He's like, he said, uh, well, he cousin Larry, you know, is far too complimentary to me sometimes.
20:01
SPEAKER_02: He says, uh, laugh my butt off.
20:03
SPEAKER_02: She has a great idea, poor implementation, you would do so much better.
20:06
SPEAKER_02: I was like, you don't know that, Larry.
20:09
SPEAKER_02: You don't know.
20:10
SPEAKER_02: At least I'd have him on two and four.
20:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's all I'm asking.
20:13
SPEAKER_09: I mean the rest of it's fine.
20:14
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
20:15
SPEAKER_09: Two and four, man.
20:16
SPEAKER_02: Two and four.
20:17
SPEAKER_02: Right.
20:17
SPEAKER_02: Uh okay.
20:19
SPEAKER_02: So I want to move on to a couple things because we have some things to talk about.
20:23
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
20:24
SPEAKER_02: Um you know how much I love Sammy Hagar.
20:27
SPEAKER_09: No, I did not.
20:28
SPEAKER_09: This is news to me.
20:29
SPEAKER_09: Please tell me more.
20:31
SPEAKER_02: And when I say I love Sammy Hagar, yes, I love I love the music that he made with Van Halen.
20:35
SPEAKER_02: I like a lot of his own music, you know, his solo work, and and just his um it's his work ethic and it's his lifestyle that I love.
20:46
SPEAKER_02: The guy's 77 years old.
20:48
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and he's still freaking.
20:49
SPEAKER_02: He's still rocking.
20:50
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:50
SPEAKER_02: Um admittedly, uh he's not the greatest lyricist.
20:56
SPEAKER_08: No, it's pretty simple.
20:58
SPEAKER_02: He's got some great songs.
20:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:59
SPEAKER_02: No question.
21:00
SPEAKER_02: He's got some great lyrics and great songs.
21:02
SPEAKER_02: But but a lot of it is not great.
21:04
SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's okay.
21:05
SPEAKER_02: But it's it's done with with uh great attitude and just the delivery.
21:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
21:12
SPEAKER_02: And he's a marketing genius.
21:14
SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah.
21:15
SPEAKER_09: How many companies has he started and sold and just like living like a billionaire?
21:19
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
21:19
SPEAKER_02: And he knows how to stay in the press.
21:22
SPEAKER_02: But I have to tell you, I'm a little fed up with Sammy Hagar.
21:27
SPEAKER_09: Oh.
21:28
SPEAKER_09: All that to say, we're tired of you.
21:30
SPEAKER_02: Well, it's it it's it's the way he does things sometimes.
21:33
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
21:34
SPEAKER_02: And it's not necessarily I disagree with what he's saying, but why are why are you saying it?
21:40
SPEAKER_02: You know, and and you go on these um um I'm in a couple of groups, Van Halen group on Facebook, and there's this uh Van Halen with Sammy Hagar group on Facebook.
21:50
SPEAKER_02: Sure.
21:51
SPEAKER_02: You know, things like that.
21:51
SPEAKER_02: And they and they talk about and then I'm in in the Van Halen group, they are they're always dogging on Hagar.
21:57
SPEAKER_02: You know, because oh you he can't do it without the band.
22:00
SPEAKER_02: And blah, blah, blah.
22:00
SPEAKER_02: There he is, crying again, blah, blah, blah.
22:02
SPEAKER_02: You know, and I'm just like, you guys don't know.
22:04
SPEAKER_02: I mean, Van Halen was a much better band when Sammy Hagard, in my opinion.
22:08
SPEAKER_02: Just my opinion.
22:10
SPEAKER_09: Well, how many number one hits did they have with Roth?
22:13
SPEAKER_09: Right.
22:14
SPEAKER_09: And how many number ones did they have with Hagar?
22:16
SPEAKER_02: With Roth, zero.
22:18
SPEAKER_02: Was it Jump a number one?
22:20
SPEAKER_02: Jump was not number one, number three.
22:22
SPEAKER_02: Number three.
22:23
SPEAKER_02: There we go.
22:24
SPEAKER_02: So, but he went on this.
22:27
SPEAKER_02: He he's doing press for his Vegas residency.
22:31
SPEAKER_02: Right.
22:32
SPEAKER_02: And so he released a song.
22:34
SPEAKER_02: Have you heard the song yet?
22:35
SPEAKER_09: Is it the Eddie Van Halen S?
22:37
SPEAKER_09: Yes.
22:37
SPEAKER_09: Have you heard it?
22:38
SPEAKER_09: I haven't heard it yet.
22:38
SPEAKER_02: Okay, I have it.
22:40
SPEAKER_02: You have or haven't?
22:41
SPEAKER_02: I have, and I have it.
22:43
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
22:44
SPEAKER_02: Um.
22:46
SPEAKER_02: And but he's he's promoting this song as Eddie Came to Him in a Dream.
22:53
SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah.
22:53
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I read that somewhere and I'm like, here we go.
22:56
SPEAKER_09: Here's the alien thing again.
22:57
SPEAKER_02: Well, if Eddie came to you in a dream to write this song, there's a reason Eddie never wrote lyrics.
23:04
SPEAKER_02: Because the lyrics are the music is great.
23:07
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
23:08
SPEAKER_02: The lyrics are j just not great.
23:10
SPEAKER_02: Well, I'm sure.
23:11
SPEAKER_02: So we'll hear a little bit of it in a second.
23:12
SPEAKER_02: But also, he's promoting this residency and he puts out this song, no doubt, to promote this residency and to bring all the Van Halen fans back to this residency.
23:26
SPEAKER_02: He's a genius.
23:27
SPEAKER_02: I mean, he knows what he's doing.
23:28
SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
23:29
SPEAKER_09: Uh he's not a stupid man.
23:31
SPEAKER_02: But he he goes on this uh he does a Rolling Stone interview.
23:38
SPEAKER_02: Now, granted, I have not read the whole Rolling Stone interview.
23:41
SPEAKER_02: Um, and I'm sure this is probably taken out of context.
23:45
SPEAKER_02: But Ultimate Classic Rock has some quotes from the interview, and it says, The Red Rocker seemed resigned to the fact that he and the drummer, Alex Van Halen, will remain estranged.
23:58
SPEAKER_02: And this is this is what they pulled from it.
24:00
SPEAKER_02: Al, you're fine.
24:01
SPEAKER_02: Just leave me alone.
24:02
SPEAKER_02: I'll leave you alone.
24:04
SPEAKER_02: Everything's good, Hagar remarked.
24:06
SPEAKER_02: I'm making you money, by the way, Al.
24:09
SPEAKER_02: I'm out there selling Van Halen records and keeping the name alive, keeping the music alive.
24:15
SPEAKER_09: Not wrong.
24:17
SPEAKER_09: I mean that's pretty correct.
24:19
SPEAKER_09: Why are you gonna say that?
24:21
SPEAKER_09: Because he's Sammy Hagar.
24:22
SPEAKER_09: Right.
24:23
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
24:23
SPEAKER_02: You know, and and and not that I think Al is is the better person uh in this situation because Al has basically kind of just wiped Sammy Hagar from his life.
24:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
24:36
SPEAKER_02: You know, he's he's he's not reached out.
24:39
SPEAKER_02: Um he says, and this is he goes on.
24:43
SPEAKER_02: I think Al's angry because I'm doing it.
24:47
SPEAKER_02: Mike Anthony and I are out doing it, and he can't.
24:50
SPEAKER_02: He's not a singer, he's not a guitar player, he's not really a band leader, and he seems like he doesn't want to play drums or can't play drums anymore, and he can't go write a new record.
25:00
SPEAKER_02: Alex wasn't the songwriter in the band, he was the drummer.
25:03
SPEAKER_02: Eddie and I wrote the songs.
25:05
SPEAKER_02: David Lee Roth and Eddie wrote the songs, and so we can go out and do them, and I think that really bothers him that Mike and I are still out there doing it.
25:13
SPEAKER_02: I would feel bad.
25:14
SPEAKER_02: If I put myself in his shoes, I would feel terrible if I couldn't do it anymore.
25:18
SPEAKER_02: And then he says uh he describes himself as the happiest guy out of all of them.
25:23
SPEAKER_02: That pisses people off in itself.
25:25
SPEAKER_02: Being too happy, people don't like that.
25:28
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
25:31
SPEAKER_02: There's such a thing as humility, too.
25:34
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I think you may be right.
25:36
SPEAKER_02: Well, he technically is.
25:39
SPEAKER_09: I wouldn't have put it like that.
25:40
SPEAKER_09: No, me either.
25:41
SPEAKER_09: And why do you have to say it?
25:43
SPEAKER_09: Why can't you just say Well, because now we're talking about it.
25:47
SPEAKER_09: That's why.
25:48
SPEAKER_02: That's exactly.
25:49
SPEAKER_02: That's what I'm saying.
25:50
SPEAKER_02: He's a genius.
25:50
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
25:51
SPEAKER_02: He's but it rubbed me the wrong way, and I love Sammy Hagar.
25:54
SPEAKER_09: Oh, I know you do.
25:54
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
25:55
SPEAKER_02: Don't get me wrong.
25:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
25:56
SPEAKER_02: Um it rubbed me.
25:56
SPEAKER_09: But yeah, this is his guy, but he this is this is this is strategic.
26:01
SPEAKER_02: I mean, this is Absolutely calculated.
26:03
SPEAKER_09: Or if you're George W.
26:04
SPEAKER_09: more staterie.
26:05
SPEAKER_09: Which he never said, by the way.
26:06
SPEAKER_09: I know.
26:07
SPEAKER_09: But it's still funny.
26:08
SPEAKER_02: It is funny.
26:08
SPEAKER_09: Um, but um, yeah, I mean, this is just this is you know, there's no, you know, the old saying there's no such thing as bad press.
26:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's it's calculated for sure.
26:18
SPEAKER_02: No question.
26:19
SPEAKER_09: I mean, does he mean this?
26:21
SPEAKER_09: Partially.
26:22
SPEAKER_09: Probably.
26:23
SPEAKER_09: But I mean, I think he I think he has more respect for Alex than he's letting on.
26:27
SPEAKER_02: And again, I have not read the whole interview.
26:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
26:29
SPEAKER_09: So Yeah, we're just going off on excerpts and stuff like that.
26:35
SPEAKER_02: Sure.
26:35
SPEAKER_02: You know, and and Sammy's an honest guy, and he's he's gonna say it.
26:40
SPEAKER_02: Um I would think that in a situation like that, maybe you'd have a little humility and say, I don't know what Alex is thinking.
26:47
SPEAKER_02: Uh missy brother.
26:49
SPEAKER_02: You know?
26:50
SPEAKER_02: Uh but and leave it at that.
26:52
SPEAKER_09: But that's never been his way.
26:53
SPEAKER_09: I know.
26:54
SPEAKER_09: And that's never going to be his way.
26:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know.
26:56
SPEAKER_09: So, you know.
26:57
SPEAKER_09: I mean, am I surprised?
26:59
SPEAKER_09: Not really.
27:00
SPEAKER_02: No.
27:01
SPEAKER_09: I mean, could he have worded it different?
27:03
SPEAKER_09: Absolutely.
27:04
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
27:04
SPEAKER_09: But Sammy's gonna it's just Sammy Hagar doing Sammy Hagar things.
27:09
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
27:09
SPEAKER_02: Boom.
27:10
SPEAKER_02: And he can.
27:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
27:12
SPEAKER_02: The dude's 77 and he still holds up, man.

32:17
SPEAKER_09: 1977, when that when that was it he first came out.
32:21
SPEAKER_02: When he first came out with it, people's minds were like, Well, I mean, you I've read read interviews with guitar players that you know were were pretty good at that, you know, sage in the 70s, and then they would say, Come over, I want you to hear something.
32:36
SPEAKER_02: And they'd put uh eruption on.

32:50
SPEAKER_02: Speaking of the Red Rocker, um, I haven't read this article yet, but I thought you'd be interested.
32:55
SPEAKER_02: Sammy Hagar and Kirk Hammett are planning to collaborate.
32:59
SPEAKER_09: That ought to be interesting.
33:00
SPEAKER_02: Uh, I want to I want to read what it's about here.
33:02
SPEAKER_02: So Sammy Hagar and Kirk Hammett, by the way, this is ultimateclassicrock.com, because I'm probably gonna read a verbatim.
33:07
SPEAKER_02: Uh they're discussing the idea of a collaboration and even have a title for their idea that's taking shape.
33:13
SPEAKER_02: It's no surprise that the perspective song is supernatural in tone based around the Red Rockers' love for aliens.
33:19
SPEAKER_02: Of course.
33:20
SPEAKER_02: Um you know who's a big fan of all that?
33:23
SPEAKER_02: Kirk Kirk Hammett from Metallica.
33:25
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
33:25
SPEAKER_02: Writing a song right now called The Seven Sisters.
33:28
SPEAKER_02: Well, we're not writing it yet, but we're talking about writing it.
33:31
SPEAKER_02: The Seven Sisters, which is the Pleiades where a lot of these people are coming from.
33:37
SPEAKER_02: Um Let's see.
33:39
SPEAKER_02: For the ride out of the song, we're going to go into part of Silver Lights from Hagar's 76th solo album, Nine on a Ten Scale.
33:47
SPEAKER_02: Uh, the first time the Red Rocker has written about aliens and their link to the world, famously, he penned Love Walks In, which a lot of people have used as their wedding song.
33:55
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
33:56
SPEAKER_02: But it's actually about being abducted.
33:58
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it's about as long as you go.
33:59
SPEAKER_09: I don't think people realize that.
34:01
SPEAKER_02: Right.
34:02
SPEAKER_02: Right.
34:03
SPEAKER_02: So I just thought that was interesting.
34:05
SPEAKER_02: Uh that what we may see.
34:06
SPEAKER_09: And I think that's well, Kirk Hammond's more into the horror restaurant.
34:10
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
34:11
SPEAKER_02: If you see his guitars and his stuff like that, he's got a lot of horror-themed guitars, and I think that's Dracula, that's that's what we're gonna see from Hagar now is little one-offs.
34:21
SPEAKER_02: You know, like like a song here and there.
34:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, why not?
34:23

SPEAKER_02: He's just gonna collaborate with people, put out a song here, put out a song there.
34:38
SPEAKER_09: I never I I never they I I could kind of see with Kurt Hammett, because they're both kind of surfer, yeah, you know, California kind of guys, you know.
34:47
SPEAKER_09: So I I could tell you I because putting Hagar and like James Hetfield together, I don't see that.

SPEAKER_10: Uh okay.
51:01
SPEAKER_09: Mixtape.
51:02
SPEAKER_09: Well, being a child of the 70s and early 80s, the first few songs that came to mind were Kung Fu Fighting and Eye of the Tiger.
51:09
SPEAKER_09: However, I deferred to the 90s song Mama Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J, and I thought that would be a pretty cool song to play while heading out to the school parking lot with a crowd of kids behind me.
51:20
SPEAKER_09: Honorable mention to Bullet for my Valentine's Walk Waking the Demon.
51:24
SPEAKER_09: Great song.

SPEAKER_09: Yeah, excellent choice.

52:19
SPEAKER_02: I can't compete with that one.
52:21
SPEAKER_02: Alright, what do you got?
52:22
SPEAKER_09: I went in a similar vein.
52:23
SPEAKER_09: I went with uh straight out of Compton, NWA.
52:31
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
54:01
SPEAKER_02: I think it's I think we should censor everything that way every from now on.
54:04
SPEAKER_02: Just be just do it on our own.
54:07
SPEAKER_02: Um all right, so I didn't have one before before we started.
54:12
SPEAKER_02: Sure.

54:22
SPEAKER_02: And I I think it's gonna fit.
54:24
SPEAKER_02: I think it's gonna work.
54:26
SPEAKER_02: So uh picture you're walking out at three o'clock with maybe your buddies to go fight some buddies.

59:09
SPEAKER_09: Ah, this week we're off revolver.
59:13
SPEAKER_09: Uh it's rain.
59:15
unknown: Rain.
59:16
SPEAKER_09: Rain.
59:17
SPEAKER_09: In there's a place on the Beatles' first album, John had voiced the opinion that it's your state of mind that matters, not the events out there.
59:25
SPEAKER_09: In rain, he picked up the theme again, although by this time psychedelic drugs had influenced his thinking.
59:32
SPEAKER_10: No.
59:34
SPEAKER_09: On one level, it was a simple song about people moaning because they don't like the weather, he said.
59:40
SPEAKER_09: But on another level, it was a song that contained a message about the need to develop a state of mind in which we transcend both the good and the bad.
59:48
SPEAKER_09: In the same way that we should be indifferent to the weather.
59:52
SPEAKER_09: He feels that there is a need for people to rise above their circumstances.
59:57
SPEAKER_09: The use of phrases I can show you and can you hear me indicated that John was starting to take his role as a spokesman seriously.
1:00:08
SPEAKER_09: Rain was the first Beatles track to suggest new transcendental states of consciousness.
1:00:12
SPEAKER_09: That was awful.
1:00:14
SPEAKER_09: Not just in its lyric, but in the music.
1:00:16
SPEAKER_09: The mournful, dragged-out vocal, the slowed-down instruments, and the backward tape at the end were all a taste of things to come.
1:00:23
SPEAKER_09: Backward taping became a controversial issue in the rock industry during the 70s and 80s when some artists were accused of concealing hidden messages within their recordings.
1:00:34
SPEAKER_09: The Beatles were responsible for making the first backwards tape on this track, had done it not to conceal messages, but simply to produce a new range of sounds to add extra color to their musical palette.
1:00:46
SPEAKER_09: Nice.
1:00:46
SPEAKER_09: Which makes sense.
1:00:47
SPEAKER_09: George Martin said he came up with the idea experimenting on his own after the Beatles had left the studio.
1:00:52
SPEAKER_09: He played back his new effects to them the next day.
1:00:55
SPEAKER_09: John, who wrote Rain at Kenwood, always claimed that he'd discovered the process, trying to thread a demo tape of the song on his home recorder while high on marijuana.
1:01:05
SPEAKER_09: He was in such a disoriented state that he got the tape twisted, and when he heard the sound like an Arabic chant coming from his headphones, he knew he'd found a sound which accurate accurately reflected his stoned consciousness.
1:01:18
SPEAKER_09: Rain was released on the reverse side of paperback writer.
1:01:22
SPEAKER_09: So the bass line on the Paul McCartney, man.
1:01:32
SPEAKER_02: Come on.
1:01:45
SPEAKER_02: This is the mono version.
1:01:47
SPEAKER_02: This is Yeah.
1:01:51
SPEAKER_08: Alright.
1:01:52
SPEAKER_02: Very cool.
1:01:53
SPEAKER_08: Alright, so Beatles, let's uh let's uh let's start this uh let's start this thing.
1:02:01
SPEAKER_08: How is that spider?
1:02:07
SPEAKER_08: Spider.
1:02:07
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
1:02:10
SPEAKER_02: My son is at his girlfriend's house.
1:02:17
SPEAKER_02: So uh at eight o'clock, like ten minutes ago, he says, they're taking me home, which is great, we don't have to go get them.
1:02:23
SPEAKER_02: And I said, by nine.
1:02:26
SPEAKER_02: And he said, Yes.
1:02:27
SPEAKER_02: How was that spider?
1:02:31
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
1:02:32
SPEAKER_02: And I said, I said, huh?
1:02:35
SPEAKER_02: So hopefully I'll get some clarification on that.
1:02:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm not sure what he means by that.
1:02:39
SPEAKER_02: Um, all right, so I have picked an album.
1:02:42
SPEAKER_02: Alright.
1:02:43
SPEAKER_02: So let the guessing begin.
1:02:45
SPEAKER_02: Is it a man?
