- 1:28SPEAKER_02: That's good.
- 1:28SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:29SPEAKER_02: Um and we also got some some uh the best story ever.
- 1:34SPEAKER_03: It really it really was surprising because like Saturday morning uh Chris Morton messaged us and I I I did I saw it because I was at work and I didn't have a chance to read it.
- 1:46SPEAKER_03: So I didn't read it till later in the day.
- 1:48SPEAKER_03: And I freaking laughed and caught off.
- 1:50SPEAKER_11: So funny.
- 1:51SPEAKER_03: So so he I I saw him today after my doctor's appointment.
- 1:54SPEAKER_03: I I I asked him if we could do it on the podcast, and he was like, Yeah, yeah, go for it.
- 1:59SPEAKER_03: So uh so a little backstory.
- 2:02SPEAKER_03: Um Chris's two of two Chris's youngest kids, uh Ranger and Mason were spending the week with him up here because they they were on school vacation.
- 2:11SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 2:12SPEAKER_03: And so we had no idea what was going on in the Morton household when we recorded last week.
- 2:17SPEAKER_03: Ah, of course.
- 2:17SPEAKER_03: So we This is why it's such a cool thing.
- 2:19SPEAKER_03: That's why it's so funny.
- 2:20SPEAKER_03: So when he when he took them back down to their mothers on Saturday, this is when all this hap or was it or maybe it was Friday?
- 2:28SPEAKER_03: It was Friday.
- 2:28SPEAKER_03: It was Friday.
- 2:29SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 2:29SPEAKER_03: When he took him back down to the mothers on Friday, this all happened and we I just lost it.
- 2:33SPEAKER_02: Because what you need well, also what you need to know is um Morton's that's part of that's a pastime for the Morton family.
- 2:39SPEAKER_02: Is when they're traveling back and forth, they listen to the podcast.
- 2:42SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 2:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 2:43SPEAKER_03: So it's good.
- 2:44SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 2:44SPEAKER_03: So okay, so so he sends us the he email he posted this with the both of us.
- 2:50SPEAKER_03: Last week, after four straight days of listening to it non-stop, I finally banned Mason from speaking in her British accent.
- 2:59SPEAKER_03: I hope you heard that in your head as an in na I hope you heard that in your head in a ridiculous attempt at a British accent as you read it.
- 3:08SPEAKER_03: I love my girl, but all week she had been cheerfully jabbering away in an accent that bounced between Britishish, Australian, and Scottish, except if all of these languages were being spoken after three-fifths of a bottle of something that could start fires.
- 3:24SPEAKER_03: Hello she would enthusiastically agreed a custom greeted the customer at the shop one morning.
- 3:32SPEAKER_05: Would you like a boy a ukulele?
- 3:38SPEAKER_05: Would you like to buy a ukulele?
- 3:42SPEAKER_03: The customer blanched and considered le bolting for the door.
- 3:46SPEAKER_03: I did too.
- 3:47SPEAKER_03: Thursday morning we all finally broke.
- 3:50SPEAKER_03: We had an impromptu family meeting and asked Mason to save her attempt at a British accent for special times.
- 3:58SPEAKER_03: Like when she was deep in the woods alone.
- 4:01SPEAKER_03: The kind of f spot in the forest where if a tree fell, it could darn well do it in a British accent and no one would ever have any idea.
- 4:11SPEAKER_03: She argued, relented, relapsed a few times immediately after, got called out on it, and eventually settled into a long, low energy sulk.
- 4:20SPEAKER_03: She was still sulking on her way back to her mom's when I pulled up the latest podcast.
- 4:24SPEAKER_03: The one where Doug, fifteen seconds in, maybe, in tones, I got a bag in me pocket in the British ba Brit in the best British accent our family had heard all week.
- 4:35SPEAKER_03: Doug hadn't even got to pocket when things happened simultaneously.
- 4:40SPEAKER_03: One, Range roused himself from his traditional car ride nap and half awake screamed and clamped his ha hands over his ears in horror.
- 4:49SPEAKER_03: And two, Mason shot bolt right up uh bolt upright with a look of pure delight.
- 4:55SPEAKER_03: Doug is my uncle.
- 4:56SPEAKER_03: We even talk alike because we're from the same place.
- 5:02SPEAKER_03: Frankly, I don't know.
- 5:03SPEAKER_03: Doug, your accent places you on the outskirts of London, I think.
- 5:06SPEAKER_03: Whereas the natural environment for hers is an asylum for hearing impaired alcoholics.
- 5:12SPEAKER_03: Possibly still in London though.
- 5:14SPEAKER_03: So such a great writer.
- 5:19SPEAKER_03: I love I love reading his stuff is just amazing.
- 5:23SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
- 5:23SPEAKER_02: So that was that was just kind of uh the icing on the cake, if you will.
- 5:30SPEAKER_02: So speaking of uh British, we had to I have a lot of new music I want to play uh on today's podcast.
- 5:37SPEAKER_02: Um because um I mentioned uh an album that came out uh or is coming out, it came out, I don't I I think it's out, um, that I was excited to to pick up.
- 5:48SPEAKER_02: And it's Def Leopard Drastic Symphonies.
- 5:50SPEAKER_03: And you never even hadn't even known known about it.
- 5:54SPEAKER_02: So I f I found a song uh and I listened to it, and it I'm not gonna get the album.
- 6:01SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 6:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 6:02SPEAKER_02: And I love Def Leopard.
- 6:03SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah, no, that's why I'm a little surprised.
- 6:05SPEAKER_03: I'm uh taken back.
- 6:07SPEAKER_02: Well, you d uh you tell me.
- 6:08SPEAKER_02: Okay, okay.
- 6:09SPEAKER_02: So this is this I'll I'll play the song for you.
- 6:13SPEAKER_02: And you you tell me if this yeah that no no no no no just listening.
- 6:31SPEAKER_02: That's not part of it.
- 6:32SPEAKER_09: I just got to get away awkward to you.
- 7:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 7:35SPEAKER_02: It's the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
- 7:38SPEAKER_02: So somebody, you know, did some nice arrangements, but they took all the vocals from the actual songs.
- 7:45SPEAKER_03: I was just gonna say, did they just remaster the vocals?
- 7:49SPEAKER_02: No, they put the vocals, they took the they lifted the vocals from the original album and just kind of put them in to this piece of music.
- 7:57SPEAKER_03: Okay, that explains a lot.
- 7:58SPEAKER_03: It doesn't s it's awkward.
- 8:00SPEAKER_03: It sounds like something kids would do.
- 8:04SPEAKER_03: Kids?
- 8:05SPEAKER_03: And we're bored.
- 8:20SPEAKER_02: I mean, artistically it's pretty cool.
- 8:23SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah, I mean, I get it.
- 8:25SPEAKER_03: I I see what they're I see the direction you're going in.
- 8:29SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but there's something off about it.
- 8:34SPEAKER_02: I think his voice doesn't fit the the the symphony.
- 8:37SPEAKER_03: No, because he he's not it's not really to the music.
- 8:42SPEAKER_03: It's like they they took like you said, they just took his voice from the original song and just put it in chamber music.
- 8:51SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 8:52SPEAKER_03: And it's it doesn't really fit.
- 8:54SPEAKER_03: The music is beautiful.
- 8:55SPEAKER_03: It isn't really oh yeah, it is I mean it's very well done.
- 8:58SPEAKER_03: I mean it's the royal philharmonic, right?
- 9:01SPEAKER_03: Did you say that?
- 9:01SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 9:02SPEAKER_03: So I mean yeah.
- 9:04SPEAKER_02: I wanna I'm curious as well when it gets to the guitar song, I'm curious what happens.
- 9:37SPEAKER_03: Well, that that's a guitar.
- 9:39SPEAKER_03: It is.
- 9:40SPEAKER_03: But I don't think that's that's not them.
- 9:43SPEAKER_02: That's Def Leppard.
- 9:45SPEAKER_02: You think that's their I think it's Phil Collins.
- 9:47SPEAKER_03: You think it is?
- 9:47SPEAKER_03: I do.
- 9:48SPEAKER_11: Didn't really sound it.
- 9:52SPEAKER_11: I mean it's it's cool.
- 9:55SPEAKER_03: It's cool, it's a cool idea.
- 9:59SPEAKER_03: And well, it's like it's like a cross between Metallica's SM performances and the Beatles A Day in the Life.
- 10:10SPEAKER_03: It's like a cross between those two things.
- 10:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know how I feel about it.
- 10:15SPEAKER_02: I I I I listened to it and I was like, oh, I'm not getting that.
- 10:18SPEAKER_02: I mean because because it's it's a little weird.
- 10:22SPEAKER_02: It's it's awkward.
- 10:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 10:23SPEAKER_02: I think that's the best way I can describe it is onward.
- 10:25SPEAKER_02: It's a little weird.
- 10:25SPEAKER_02: I think the music is beautiful.
- 10:27SPEAKER_02: I you know what?
- 10:27SPEAKER_02: I would I would take it.
- 10:29SPEAKER_02: I would have rather they just did like the symphony.
- 10:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the symphony and no vocals.
- 10:33SPEAKER_02: And I would buy it.
- 10:34SPEAKER_02: I would have got that.
- 10:35SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 10:35SPEAKER_02: Or do the symphony and and Joe Elliott's voice have a violin playing the melody instead of his voice.
- 10:43SPEAKER_03: Or have him actually sing to that instead of just lifting the original vocals.
- 10:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 10:49SPEAKER_03: You know?
- 10:50SPEAKER_03: If he had redone them all and sang to that, it would probably have been a lot better.
- 10:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 10:57SPEAKER_02: But I I appreciate the artistic uh I think they're just trying to do something different.
- 11:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I can't I can't fault him for that.
- 11:06SPEAKER_02: I mean, so that's that's cool.
- 11:07SPEAKER_03: But I'm not gonna get that either.
- 11:08SPEAKER_02: No, another one I'm probably not gonna get, um, but I wanted to play it anyway just because we talk a lot about rock.
- 11:15SPEAKER_02: Uh John Millencamp has a new song coming out, or a new album coming out, called Orpheus Descending.
- 11:22SPEAKER_03: And Okay, that's so not him.
- 11:27SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 11:28SPEAKER_03: Well Is he doing something different too?
- 11:32SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 11:32SPEAKER_02: Okay, I don't know.
- 11:33SPEAKER_02: He's he's been doing a lot of painting, and I think he's like But this is a uh an anti-gun song.
- 11:42SPEAKER_02: Okay, and I can understand where they're coming from.
- 11:47SPEAKER_02: Sure.
- 11:47SPEAKER_02: Um and I'll just play, I'll just it's called Hey God.
- 11:50SPEAKER_02: I'll just play a little bit of it.
- 11:52SPEAKER_02: And uh just because I like John Millicamp.
- 12:09SPEAKER_00: Weapons and guns are they really dead on the floor Hey God, you're still there, which please come down Hey God, you're still there, would you please come down Almost makes me forget he was born in a small town.
- 12:53SPEAKER_02: He was.
- 12:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 12:55SPEAKER_02: Weapons and guns, are they really my rights?
- 12:57SPEAKER_02: Laws written a long time ago.
- 12:58SPEAKER_02: No one could imagine the sight of so many dead on the floor.
- 13:01SPEAKER_02: Hey God, if you're still there, would you please come down?
- 13:04SPEAKER_02: We can't take it anymore.
- 13:06SPEAKER_02: Uh it doesn't sound like uh Scarecrow.
- 13:09SPEAKER_02: Um of the song titles, Hey God, The Eyes of Portland.
- 13:14SPEAKER_02: The what?
- 13:15SPEAKER_02: The Eyes of Portland?
- 13:17SPEAKER_02: The Eyes of Portland.
- 13:18SPEAKER_02: Eyes?
- 13:19SPEAKER_02: Eyes, yes.
- 13:20SPEAKER_02: Land of the So-Called Free.
- 13:23SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 13:24SPEAKER_02: Kindness of Lovers, Amen, Orpheus Descending, Understated Reverence, One More Trick, Lightning and Luck, Perfect World, The Backbone.
- 13:33SPEAKER_02: So I don't know why I played that.
- 13:36SPEAKER_02: I like John Mellencamp.
- 13:37SPEAKER_02: I like a lot of the things that he's done in the past.
- 13:39SPEAKER_02: Um this one seems just too political for me.
- 13:45SPEAKER_11: I mean, you know.
- 13:46SPEAKER_02: It it depends.
- 13:47SPEAKER_02: I mean it depends.
- 13:48SPEAKER_02: I would I would have to listen to some of the other uh other songs.
- 13:52SPEAKER_03: Um I totally disagree with him, but yeah.
- 13:56SPEAKER_03: That's you know my background.
- 14:01SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah, I you know I respect his right to do that.
- 14:04SPEAKER_11: We're not gonna we're not gonna do a political podcast.
- 14:06SPEAKER_11: We're not gonna talk politics.
- 14:08SPEAKER_11: We don't do that.
- 14:08SPEAKER_10: The podcast within the podcast.
- 14:12SPEAKER_10: Yeah, so we don't we don't go there usually, so we're not gonna do that today.
- 14:15SPEAKER_10: Okay, okay, goodbye.
- 14:17SPEAKER_03: It's all bright up.
- 14:19SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 14:22SPEAKER_03: I was just gonna do one of our pop-up ads.
- 14:24SPEAKER_02: I was I was waiting for it.
- 14:25SPEAKER_03: I just didn't know what we were going to sell.
- 14:28SPEAKER_02: Uh okay, so the last couple of things I want to play as far as music is concerned.
- 14:33SPEAKER_02: Um, so I don't know if you've heard these or not.
- 14:36SPEAKER_02: You may have.
- 14:38SPEAKER_02: Uh there was a video, Nuno Betancourt posted a video of himself getting a phone call from Gary Sharon.
- 14:44SPEAKER_02: No, I haven't heard that.
- 14:45SPEAKER_02: You haven't heard this?
- 14:45SPEAKER_02: No.
- 14:46SPEAKER_02: So and and Nuno is like, uh, we're we're kind of, you know, I don't know what to do.
- 14:50SPEAKER_02: What should we release for the next single?
- 14:52SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 14:52SPEAKER_02: Because the first single was Rise, which had that awesome guitar solo in it.
- 14:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 14:57SPEAKER_02: And he's and I knew they were gonna do that.
- 14:59SPEAKER_02: From what from watching that video, I knew this was gonna happen.
- 15:01SPEAKER_02: Um because Gary, you know, I um Nuno says, I talked to I can't remember what the drummer's name is, but I talked to the I talked to them and he says Banshee, and I agree.
- 15:10SPEAKER_02: We should go with the song Banshee.
- 15:12SPEAKER_02: And Gary's like, Well, I talked to Pat and uh I think uh I think Rebel.
- 15:16SPEAKER_02: I think we should do Rebel because I think you know, and they they had arguments for each one.
- 15:21SPEAKER_02: And then like two days later, they released both of them.
- 15:25SPEAKER_02: Sneaky.
- 15:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 15:27SPEAKER_02: So I I I want to play oh, they're playing the State Theater August 2nd.
- 15:31SPEAKER_02: Ooh.
- 15:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 15:32SPEAKER_02: Hampton Beach, August 3rd, Boston, August 5th.
- 15:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah, baby.
- 15:37SPEAKER_02: Uh they are a Boston band.
- 15:38SPEAKER_02: They are a Boston band.
- 15:40SPEAKER_02: Alright, so I'm gonna play you a little bit of each one.
- 15:43SPEAKER_02: So this is Rebel.
- 15:45SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 15:45SPEAKER_02: And this is the song.
- 15:46SPEAKER_02: So I will say that Nuno said Nunu didn't want to go with Rebel, although I think it was probably all staged.
- 15:52SPEAKER_02: But he he wanted to go with Banshee because he thought Banshee was a throwback to old extreme.
- 15:58SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 15:59SPEAKER_02: But I'm gonna play Rebel first.
- 16:01SPEAKER_02: Now, I remember what I said about Rise.
- 16:04SPEAKER_02: Not only did I think the chorus sounded like something else, but I also said the all the riff, although it was f really awesome, it didn't sound like funk a metal, you know, that extreme is known for.
- 16:19SPEAKER_02: It was just a straight ahead riff.
- 16:20SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 16:21SPEAKER_02: I feel the same way about Rebel.
- 16:22SPEAKER_02: It's awesome, but just listen.
- 16:24SPEAKER_02: Let's see.
- 16:44SPEAKER_05: I'm going up to Boston!
- 17:05SPEAKER_09: Don't die.
- 17:31SPEAKER_02: See what I mean?
- 17:32SPEAKER_02: It's awesome.
- 17:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I like it.
- 17:34SPEAKER_02: But it's straightforward.
- 17:35SPEAKER_02: I mean it's not aside from a couple of those, you know, guitar bands.
- 17:39SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's you may not have known it was extreme from from the extreme from the 90s.
- 17:44SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 17:44SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 17:45SPEAKER_02: But there is, I will say, there is a breakdown part in this song that you know it's extreme.
- 17:49SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 17:50SPEAKER_02: Let's just listen for a second.
- 19:23SPEAKER_02: Okay, so we we listen to most of the songs.
- 19:25SPEAKER_03: Now, for some reason, that little solo didn't fit.
- 19:29SPEAKER_03: I didn't think it didn't fit fit into that?
- 19:31SPEAKER_03: Yeah, for some reason.
- 19:32SPEAKER_03: I don't know why.
- 19:34SPEAKER_03: Just that finger picking part.
- 19:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 19:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 19:37SPEAKER_03: I didn't think that'd fit.
- 19:38SPEAKER_03: But that's just me.
- 19:40SPEAKER_03: Well, what do I know?
- 19:41SPEAKER_03: I'm not a guitar player either.
- 19:43SPEAKER_03: I just know what I feel, you know.
- 19:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I I I I still love it.
- 19:48SPEAKER_02: I mean, I think it's a good one.
- 19:48SPEAKER_02: Oh, it's a great song.
- 19:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 19:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 19:50SPEAKER_02: Um I will I want to also there's a story um that Nuno Bettencourt uh because they've been doing press, obviously, for the album that's coming up.
- 19:57SPEAKER_02: And uh Nuno Bettencourt, hold on, I want to make sure that we're still yeah, we're still going.
- 20:03SPEAKER_02: Uh I want to make sure uh so Nuno Bettencourt said uh was doing an interview and he said that he was recording um he was working on the guitar solo for Rise.
- 20:14SPEAKER_02: You remember that that the first single?
- 20:17SPEAKER_02: And it's just this killer guitar solo, right?
- 20:19SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 20:19SPEAKER_02: He was working on that and he was in the recording studio and and Gary kept calling him.
- 20:24SPEAKER_02: And this was you know like years ago.
- 20:27SPEAKER_02: Like I don't know, 2020, maybe 2019, whatever it was.
- 20:32SPEAKER_02: And uh yeah.

- 20:40SPEAKER_02: Anyway, um and Gary kept blowing up his phone and Gary knows better than to do that.
- 20:46SPEAKER_02: So dunno's like uh I I thought I should answer because you know, I said, Well I'm re I'm working, man.

- 21:11SPEAKER_03: And he they Oh wait, didn't we just talk about this?
- 21:14SPEAKER_03: Did we?
- 21:14SPEAKER_03: I thought we did.
- 21:16SPEAKER_03: I I've heard the story.
- 21:18SPEAKER_03: Have you?
- 21:18SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 21:19SPEAKER_02: Were we talking about it?
- 21:20SPEAKER_02: I don't think so.
- 21:21SPEAKER_02: Maybe you maybe you saw a video or something.
- 21:23SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 21:24SPEAKER_02: Anyway, he says he says they sat in Eddie's car and he played them the mammoth music.
- 21:29SPEAKER_02: He played him Wolfie's music.
- 21:31SPEAKER_02: Oh.
- 21:31SPEAKER_02: And then um he wanted to go up and hear what Nuno was working on.
- 21:36SPEAKER_02: And Nuno said Nuno's a perfectionist.
- 21:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 21:38SPEAKER_02: And he said, No, it's not when it's ready.
- 21:40SPEAKER_02: When it's ready, I'll send it to you.
- 21:42SPEAKER_02: You know, I'll let you hear it.
- 21:43SPEAKER_02: Blah blah blah.
- 21:44SPEAKER_02: Will he died not not long after.
- 21:46SPEAKER_02: So he he didn't get he didn't get a chance to play.
- 21:48SPEAKER_02: So it was a regret that he had that he he didn't get to So did you read that?
- 21:52SPEAKER_11: Seems like we talked about it though.
- 21:54SPEAKER_11: Uh I don't think so.
- 21:55SPEAKER_11: I don't think so.
- 21:56SPEAKER_02: Maybe we did.
- 21:57SPEAKER_02: Maybe it's one of those deja.
- 22:01SPEAKER_03: Let's go.
- 22:01SPEAKER_03: Where am I?
- 22:03SPEAKER_02: Alright, here's the second single.
- 22:04SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 22:09SPEAKER_02: He said this is a throwback, and I I kind of agree to a certain extent.
- 22:12SPEAKER_02: This is called Banshee.
- 22:14SPEAKER_02: So listen to this one.
- 23:32SPEAKER_02: And this sounds more funky than the other.
- 23:39SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 23:40SPEAKER_03: But there's something weird about Nuno's guitar.
- 23:43SPEAKER_03: The sound is weird.
- 23:46SPEAKER_02: I mean, and and the riff is pretty for for extreme, it's pretty simplistic.
- 23:50SPEAKER_02: I mean it's no decadence dance.
- 23:52SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 23:53SPEAKER_03: But it's not that, it just sounds different.
- 23:55SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean it's probably not used in the same stuff.
- 23:57SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 23:59SPEAKER_02: Maybe, I don't know.
- 24:08SPEAKER_02: I wonder if he's using uh modeling and like a fractal or something.
- 24:16SPEAKER_03: Oh I don't know.
- 24:18SPEAKER_03: That's above my pay degrades.
- 24:19SPEAKER_03: I don't know anything about that stuff.
- 24:34SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that sounds like old experience.
- 24:36SPEAKER_03: Your first album experience.
- 24:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 24:40SPEAKER_02: Even that solo.
- 24:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 24:54SPEAKER_02: Either way, I'm glad that.
- 24:56SPEAKER_03: But that solo fits perfectly.
- 24:57SPEAKER_02: Yep, I agree.
- 24:58SPEAKER_02: I am glad that Extreme is coming out with music.
- 25:00SPEAKER_02: I'm glad Winger's coming out with music.
- 25:03SPEAKER_02: So good, man.
- 25:04SPEAKER_02: You know, I think it's just I think it's it's needed.
- 25:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, oh yeah.
- 25:07SPEAKER_02: I think it's needed.
- 25:09SPEAKER_02: Um okay.
- 25:09SPEAKER_02: So the other thing I wanted to do, which I think you're gonna like.
- 25:12SPEAKER_02: Um You sure about that?
- 25:14SPEAKER_02: Well, yeah, it's Ultimate Classic Rock.
- 25:16SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
- 25:16SPEAKER_03: Once again, Ultimate Classic Rock for being our source for if we if we didn't have Ultimate Classic Rock, this would be the world's most boring podcast.

- 25:24SPEAKER_02: So they have taken it upon themselves, and maybe you've seen this, I don't know if if you have or not.
- 25:29SPEAKER_02: Um Metallica albums ranked worst to best.
- 25:35SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay, that'll be interesting.
- 25:36SPEAKER_02: So what I thought I would have you write down, and you can do it in your book, or maybe you know them on the top of your head, but all the albums that you know that you can name.
- 25:42SPEAKER_11: Okay.
- 25:43SPEAKER_02: Because let's see, they have um they only have twelve of them.
- 25:48SPEAKER_02: Is there more than twelve Metallica albums?
- 25:51SPEAKER_02: Are they just the studio albums?
- 25:52SPEAKER_02: Well, let's see.
- 25:53SPEAKER_02: Um I'm just looking, I'm just looking, I'm just looking at it.

- 26:34SPEAKER_02: Master of Puppets?
- 26:35SPEAKER_03: Oh, Master Puppets.

- 26:48SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I tried to forget that one.
- 26:50SPEAKER_02: And and the other one is the is the worst one.
- 26:54SPEAKER_03: I thought Saint Anger was the worst one.
- 26:56SPEAKER_03: No.
- 26:56SPEAKER_03: Really?
- 26:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 26:58SPEAKER_02: With a guest.
- 26:59SPEAKER_02: This one is with a guest.
- 27:00SPEAKER_03: Oh.
- 27:00SPEAKER_03: Lulu.
- 27:01SPEAKER_03: Never mind.
- 27:02SPEAKER_03: Lulu.
- 27:02SPEAKER_03: See, that's the one I oh yeah.
- 27:04SPEAKER_02: Okay, so they they said Lulu was the worst.
- 27:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I agreed.
- 27:08SPEAKER_02: I almost want to say that's not a Metallica album.
- 27:11SPEAKER_02: I mean it is, but it is, but it isn't.
- 27:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 27:13SPEAKER_03: It was just.
- 27:15SPEAKER_03: I think they did it on a dare.
- 27:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 27:18SPEAKER_03: There's something I don't I don't understand.
- 27:21SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 27:22SPEAKER_03: They're like, I dare you guys to make the worst album ever and and and do it with Lou Reed.
- 27:28SPEAKER_03: So let's listen You mean Lou Graham?
- 27:30SPEAKER_03: No, Lou Reed.
- 27:31SPEAKER_02: Let's let's this is what Ultimate Classic Rock had to say about it.
- 27:35SPEAKER_02: We weren't sure whether or not to account Lulu, the band's collaboration with the legendary Lou Reed, as a proper Metallica studio album.
- 27:42SPEAKER_02: But once we decided to do so, there was no question where it would rank on this list.
- 27:47SPEAKER_02: Both parties deserve a lot of respect for trying something so different, but the end result, this plotting spoken word mess, is really hard to sit through.
- 27:55SPEAKER_02: It's so bad.
- 27:56SPEAKER_02: It is really bad.
- 27:57SPEAKER_03: I mean, I think I only listened to the one song.
- 27:59SPEAKER_03: And I just I couldn't do it.
- 28:01SPEAKER_02: No, you're right.
- 28:02SPEAKER_02: I just could not do it because it was so terrible.
- 28:04SPEAKER_02: I think I heard a couple other ones or pieces of a couple other ones, and it was the same thing.
- 28:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's just that was just so awful.
- 28:10SPEAKER_03: It's like, oh, what's wrong with you guys?
- 28:12SPEAKER_02: Alright, so uh so do you need to have them as a frame of reference, like to look at No, I'll just try to go off my okay.
- 28:19SPEAKER_02: So what would so that was obviously Lulu is number 12.
- 28:22SPEAKER_02: So St.
- 28:23SPEAKER_03: Anger is obviously next door.
- 28:24SPEAKER_02: That's what they have.
- 28:25SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 28:25SPEAKER_02: St.
- 28:26SPEAKER_02: Anger from 2003.
- 28:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 28:27SPEAKER_02: Uh is uh Kirk Hammett was not allowed to play any guitar solos, you know the whole story.
- 28:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 28:32SPEAKER_03: Um so yes, that's but there's some good songs on that, of course.
- 28:36SPEAKER_03: You know, so I mean, you know.
- 28:38SPEAKER_03: It's not a total piece of crap.
- 28:40SPEAKER_03: It's just it's just uh it's like how do I put this?
- 28:46SPEAKER_03: It's like petrified poop.
- 28:51SPEAKER_03: You know?
- 28:52SPEAKER_03: Because it's it's still poop, but it's not stinky or anything like that.
- 28:57SPEAKER_03: It's just it's like a it's it's just there.
- 28:59SPEAKER_03: It's been there a long time.
- 29:01SPEAKER_03: That's saying anger.
- 29:02SPEAKER_03: Petrified poop.
- 29:03SPEAKER_02: Petrified poop.
- 29:04SPEAKER_02: That's the name of the podcast.
- 29:06SPEAKER_02: Petrified Poop.
- 29:10SPEAKER_02: Hey, uh speaking of uh poop, I got a uh a dad joke for you.
- 29:14SPEAKER_02: You gotta go now?
- 29:15SPEAKER_02: No, a dad a dad joke for you.
- 29:16SPEAKER_03: We're gonna we're gonna put the podcast on pause while O'Brien goes poops.
- 29:21SPEAKER_02: I'm uh I'm uh starting a band called Dyslexia.
- 29:24SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 29:24SPEAKER_02: That way we can release our greatest shits album.
- 29:30SPEAKER_03: No, you don't need that.
- 29:31SPEAKER_03: You don't deserve to use that button.
- 29:33SPEAKER_03: No, no, take it back.
- 29:34SPEAKER_03: Sorry.
- 29:34SPEAKER_03: Take it back.
- 29:36SPEAKER_02: Alright, so that's uh number 11 is St.
- 29:38SPEAKER_02: Agar.
- 29:38SPEAKER_02: What would you put at number 10?
- 29:42unknown: Let's see.
- 29:46SPEAKER_03: Is it one of the re uh load or reload albums?
- 29:49SPEAKER_03: Is it one of those?
- 29:50SPEAKER_02: Do you want me to tell you?
- 29:51SPEAKER_02: It is.
- 29:52SPEAKER_03: Okay, so it's the reload album.
- 29:53SPEAKER_02: It is?
- 29:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 29:54SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 29:55SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 29:55SPEAKER_02: Uh follow-up companion to 1996's Load, which was originally planned to be a double album.
- 30:01SPEAKER_02: I did not know that.
- 30:02SPEAKER_02: Um Everything uh from here on out is unquestionably worth your money in this case.
- 30:06SPEAKER_02: Thanks to the well, Fuel is my one of my favorite Metallica songs.
- 30:09SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
- 30:10SPEAKER_02: Uh but as reload stretches past the 75 minute mark, it's hard not to hear some of the songs as leftovers.
- 30:16SPEAKER_02: Reload is 75 minutes?
- 30:18SPEAKER_03: It's it's a long album.
- 30:19SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 30:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 30:20SPEAKER_03: And I don't know why, because it's like I don't know, it's an exercise and futility.
- 30:26SPEAKER_03: You know, it's like, how long can we keep go going with this?
- 30:29SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 30:29SPEAKER_03: You know, I it just it was it almost felt like an experimental album.
- 30:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 30:35SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
- 30:35SPEAKER_03: A little bit.
- 30:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 30:36SPEAKER_03: But I don't know.
- 30:37SPEAKER_02: Alright.
- 30:38SPEAKER_02: Number nine.
- 30:39SPEAKER_02: What would you put?
- 30:40SPEAKER_03: Number nine.
- 30:42SPEAKER_02: Number nine?
- 30:43SPEAKER_03: Number nine.
- 30:49SPEAKER_03: Maybe the load album?
- 30:52SPEAKER_02: You would put the load album?
- 30:54SPEAKER_03: I'm just trying to guess what they did.
- 30:55SPEAKER_03: They didn't.
- 30:55SPEAKER_03: They didn't?
- 30:56SPEAKER_03: Nope.
- 30:56SPEAKER_03: What'd they put?
- 30:57SPEAKER_02: Uh well, I don't know if you agree with it, so you tell me if you agree with it.
- 31:00SPEAKER_02: Death Magnetic.
- 31:02SPEAKER_02: What?
- 31:02SPEAKER_02: Yep, they put it at number nine.
- 31:04SPEAKER_02: No way, dude.
- 31:05SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 31:05SPEAKER_02: Uh let's see.
- 31:07SPEAKER_02: With an epic, immaculately craft.
- 31:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're good things to say about every album.
- 31:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 31:11SPEAKER_02: Uh reminiscent of the early masterpieces, make no mistake, it's a blast to listen to.
- 31:14SPEAKER_02: Still, Death Magnetic just doesn't stick as strongly in your head as the landmark records we'll discuss later in the gallery.
- 31:22SPEAKER_03: I say I disagree with that.
- 31:23SPEAKER_03: I would put that way higher than that.
- 31:25SPEAKER_03: I agree because there's a because all Nightmare Long is one of my favorite Nightmare Long, all Nightmare Long and uh Cyanide.
- 31:35SPEAKER_03: Actually, the first half of that freaking album is just amazing.
- 31:38SPEAKER_02: Is is which uh Love is a four-letter word.
- 31:42SPEAKER_02: What song is that?
- 31:42SPEAKER_03: Love is a four-letter word.
- 31:43SPEAKER_03: That's cyanide.
- 31:44SPEAKER_03: That's cyanide.
- 31:45SPEAKER_02: Is it cyanide?
- 31:46SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so that's it.
- 31:47SPEAKER_02: Hold on a second because uh I wanna.
- 31:50SPEAKER_02: Because that's one of my I love that riff.
- 31:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 31:52SPEAKER_02: When it goes when it goes into that riff, uh don't where's it right here?
- 32:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I love this song.
- 32:19SPEAKER_02: And you know, we nailed it on the head when we said Metallica songs is just a bunch of rifts.
- 32:27SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, it's just about rift.
- 32:29SPEAKER_02: It's it's just like one big rift.
- 32:33SPEAKER_02: Well, it's like six different reps.
- 32:35SPEAKER_03: But they they all work together.
- 32:37SPEAKER_02: They all work together.
- 32:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:47SPEAKER_02: And that's one rift.
- 33:10SPEAKER_03: I think so.
- 33:11SPEAKER_03: I could be wrong now.
- 33:17SPEAKER_03: This is all my own.
- 33:29SPEAKER_02: I don't think it's that one.
- 33:31SPEAKER_02: I just want to find that part.
- 33:38SPEAKER_02: I don't even think it's cyanide.
- 33:40SPEAKER_02: I can't remember what song it is.
- 33:43SPEAKER_02: Um anyway, there's a song on there that's yeah.
- 33:47SPEAKER_02: Uh are you looking at the words now?
- 33:48SPEAKER_02: Is that what you're doing?
- 33:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 33:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because I want to hear that part.
- 33:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because I just think that's a kick butt riff.
- 33:59SPEAKER_03: I type my ma yeah, myallica.
- 34:05SPEAKER_03: I want to listen to Mialica.
- 34:11SPEAKER_02: Petrified poop.
- 34:12SPEAKER_03: Petrified poop.
- 34:15SPEAKER_03: Uh love.
- 34:16SPEAKER_03: Love is a full head of wood.
- 34:20SPEAKER_03: Is it even on that album?
- 34:21SPEAKER_03: I can't remember.
- 34:22SPEAKER_03: I know, I know it's it's one of those.
- 34:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's on that album.
- 34:27SPEAKER_03: It is on that album.
- 34:29SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 34:31SPEAKER_03: That's the that's the song.
- 34:32SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay.
- 34:32SPEAKER_05: So that's the episode.
- 34:33SPEAKER_05: Love is a full end of wood.
- 34:38SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 34:40SPEAKER_02: There it is, right there.
- 34:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 34:44SPEAKER_02: And this this guitar seems distorted, overlap, over modulated.
- 34:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 34:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 34:51SPEAKER_02: I love this rip.
- 34:52SPEAKER_02: I don't know why.
- 35:02SPEAKER_05: Stop it.
- 35:10SPEAKER_05: Stop it.
- 35:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so this this album, Death Night, is an hour and 15 minutes long.
- 35:22SPEAKER_11: That's a long freaking album.
- 35:23SPEAKER_11: It is.
- 35:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it is.
- 35:25SPEAKER_02: By today's standards, are you kidding?
- 35:27SPEAKER_02: I love it though.
- 35:28SPEAKER_02: So that's what they had at number nine.
- 35:29SPEAKER_02: I can't believe that.
- 35:30SPEAKER_02: You disagree with that.
- 35:31SPEAKER_03: I totally disagree with it.
- 35:32SPEAKER_02: All right, then you're really gonna disagree.
- 35:33SPEAKER_03: Dear Ultimate Rock, classic rock.
- 35:36SPEAKER_02: You suck.
- 35:37SPEAKER_02: Diddly ock.
- 35:38SPEAKER_02: I think you're probably gonna disagree with this one too.
- 35:39SPEAKER_02: Number eight.
- 35:40SPEAKER_02: Number eight, what would you put at number eight?
- 35:44SPEAKER_03: Probably the black album.
- 35:45SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 35:46SPEAKER_02: No?
- 35:46SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 35:48SPEAKER_02: What?
- 35:49SPEAKER_02: You want me to tell you?
- 35:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 35:50SPEAKER_02: 72 seasons.
- 35:52SPEAKER_03: Are you freaking kidding me?
- 35:53SPEAKER_03: Nope.
- 35:54SPEAKER_03: What is wrong with them?
- 35:55SPEAKER_02: Brand new album.
- 35:56SPEAKER_02: Let's see.
- 35:57SPEAKER_02: It says Uh there's uh no backing into the Alright.
- 36:06SPEAKER_02: 72 Seasons finds Metallica straddling the line between their early thrash days and their commercial 90s period.
- 36:11SPEAKER_02: There's no backing into the occasionally fatiguing LP.
- 36:15SPEAKER_02: The title song starts with windstorm guitars and doesn't let up for another seven and a half minutes.
- 36:20SPEAKER_02: The intensity rarely wavers on Shadows Fall, Sleepwalk uh Sleepwalk My Life Away, Chasing Light, or the surprisingly compact Lux Eterna.
- 36:28SPEAKER_02: Uh either.
- 36:29SPEAKER_02: That's that for Metallica, that's a really short song.
- 36:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:33SPEAKER_02: It's archetypal Metallica, but the soul cleansing of 72 Seasons feels genuine.
- 36:37SPEAKER_02: A lifetime of burdens lifted at least partially for now.
- 36:40SPEAKER_02: But they still have it at number eight.
- 36:41SPEAKER_02: So they have good things to say about it.
- 36:43SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 36:43SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 36:44SPEAKER_03: I wouldn't I would put that one a little not much higher, but a little higher than eight.
- 36:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:49SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 36:49SPEAKER_02: What would you have put at eight, do you know?
- 36:51SPEAKER_02: I have no idea.
- 36:52SPEAKER_03: I I I I don't know.
- 36:54SPEAKER_03: It's like it's like it's like trying to figure out which one is your favorite kid.
- 37:00SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's easy.
- 37:04SPEAKER_02: I mean you love them all, but you know, you know, it's it's hard to that's why what I wanted you to do actually is to write them all down and then put them in your order.
- 37:12SPEAKER_03: But that's I I can't do that.
- 37:13SPEAKER_02: That's okay.
- 37:14SPEAKER_03: That would be so hard for me, because it'd be like number one.
- 37:18SPEAKER_03: And then Lulu.
- 37:22SPEAKER_02: Alright, so if you don't agree with that one, you're probably not gonna agree with this one.
- 37:26SPEAKER_02: Maybe you will.
- 37:26SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 37:27SPEAKER_02: What do you think they put at number seven?
- 37:29SPEAKER_03: Um I'm gonna guess hardwired.
- 37:33SPEAKER_02: Now, do you agree with that?
- 37:37SPEAKER_03: I can see why.
- 37:39SPEAKER_03: It's good.
- 37:40SPEAKER_03: When you compare it to death magnetic.
- 37:43SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 37:44SPEAKER_03: It was good, but it wasn't as good.
- 37:47SPEAKER_03: It was more It was more like the continuation of Death Magnetic, but not it was like it was like the B side of Death Magnetic.
- 37:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah, okay.
- 37:57SPEAKER_02: According to Ultimate Classic Rock, um I didn't realize hardware came eight years after Death Magnetic.
- 38:03SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was a long time.
- 38:04SPEAKER_02: Eight years, wow.
- 38:06SPEAKER_02: Um after a very strong start, the second half gets a bit bogged down with plotting repetitive tempos and overbaked ideas.
- 38:13SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 38:14SPEAKER_02: I mean it is a like a double album, right?
- 38:16SPEAKER_03: It really is.
- 38:17SPEAKER_03: It's a it's a little it's a little it's a it's a dense album.
- 38:21SPEAKER_03: Yeah I don't and I I don't know how to I don't know how to explain it any better than that.
- 38:25SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 38:26SPEAKER_03: It's just it's just a really like heavy album.
- 38:30SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 38:30SPEAKER_11: You know?
- 38:30SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 38:31SPEAKER_03: I like it, but I mean, you know, it's what'd they put it number six?
- 38:36SPEAKER_11: Number six?
- 38:37SPEAKER_11: Yep.
- 38:39SPEAKER_11: Um is it one of the older ones?
- 38:43SPEAKER_02: Um it's one from the 90s.
- 38:45SPEAKER_02: So it's probably load.
- 38:46SPEAKER_02: It is load.
- 38:47SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 38:47SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 38:48SPEAKER_02: Um and I thought I almost thought reload was better than load.
- 38:52SPEAKER_02: I liked load better than reload.
- 38:54SPEAKER_02: Did you?
- 38:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 38:54SPEAKER_02: Maybe I just if they would have put fuel on load, perfect.
- 38:58SPEAKER_02: We don't have to do reload.
- 39:00SPEAKER_02: Um, so it says after stripping Metallica Sound down to a bare minimum with their World Conquering Black album, the band loosened things up just a bit, adding a dose of Southern Boogie to songs like Ain't My Bitch and Two by Four, mix two-thirds of this one with about one-third of reload, and you've got an undeniable classic.
- 39:15SPEAKER_02: There it is.
- 39:16SPEAKER_02: That's exactly what we should say.
- 39:19SPEAKER_03: That's why we use Ultimate Classic Rock.
- 39:23SPEAKER_03: We have one brain.
- 39:24SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 39:25SPEAKER_11: Well, we disagree with them quite a bit.
- 39:28SPEAKER_02: All right, number five.
- 39:30SPEAKER_03: Umder album?
- 39:35SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 39:40SPEAKER_03: Injustice?
- 39:42SPEAKER_03: Really?
- 39:42SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 39:43SPEAKER_02: Um just about any other metal band would be proud to call this album their signature work, but the thin production remains a big sticking point.
- 39:51SPEAKER_03: And I I'll tell you, I'll tell you this.
- 39:52SPEAKER_03: I bought the uh remastered version.
- 39:54SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's a three-discond.
- 39:56SPEAKER_02: Is there more bass in it?
- 39:57SPEAKER_03: No.
- 39:57SPEAKER_03: No.
- 39:58SPEAKER_03: There isn't?
- 39:58SPEAKER_03: No.
- 40:02SPEAKER_03: I I saw it remastered and I was like, oh, maybe they turned the bass up.
- 40:06SPEAKER_03: But maybe, you know, from zero to one.
- 40:09SPEAKER_03: So what did they do to remaster it?
- 40:10SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 40:11SPEAKER_03: Just make it louder?
- 40:12SPEAKER_03: I don't even know that because I I I listen to Metallica loud anyway.
- 40:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 40:18SPEAKER_03: So I can't tell.
- 40:19SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 40:19SPEAKER_03: You know, but it does it.
- 40:21SPEAKER_03: I was hoping for more bass.
- 40:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 40:23SPEAKER_03: And I didn't get it.
- 40:24SPEAKER_03: So I was kind of disappointed.
- 40:26SPEAKER_03: But there's a lot of cool B-sides and a lot of tracks off of that.
- 40:30SPEAKER_03: So it was worth it.
- 40:31SPEAKER_02: Uh number four.
- 40:34SPEAKER_02: Number four.
- 40:36SPEAKER_02: This may surprise you, I'm not sure.
- 40:38SPEAKER_02: Is it the black album?
- 40:39SPEAKER_02: It is the black album.
- 40:40SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 40:41SPEAKER_02: Um Metallica perhaps understandably shifted their songwriting style drastically on the follow-up to Justice.
- 40:48SPEAKER_02: Um some fans missed the thrash riffs and complex song structures that made them metal pioneers.
- 40:53SPEAKER_02: But Metallica made 80 bajillion dollars or so new fans, or 80 bajillion or so new fans who followed them into this more straight-ahead hard rock territory, and they're unquestionably right about songs like Enter Sandman and Sabbath true.
- 41:06SPEAKER_02: And they probably did make 80 bajillion dollars off that album.
- 41:09SPEAKER_03: Oh, they had to have, man, because I mean people were lined up around, you know, city blocks to get that album when it came out.
- 41:18SPEAKER_03: Because I was in uh I was in 29 Palms when that album came out.
- 41:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 41:24SPEAKER_03: And uh when it came out, you saw in the news just because we weren't that far from LA.
- 41:32SPEAKER_03: And uh just record stores were just mobbed with people getting that album.
- 41:38SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 41:38SPEAKER_03: I even went down to the PX.
- 41:40SPEAKER_03: I had to get well, because I had to go to the PX to get it.
- 41:42SPEAKER_11: Right.
- 41:43SPEAKER_03: And uh I mean even I even then it was like, holy crap.
- 41:48SPEAKER_03: I mean, people were buying that friggin' album out of the PX, you know, and that's like, you know, it's 29 Pops, California.
- 41:55SPEAKER_03: It's out in the middle of the Mojave Desert, right?
- 41:57SPEAKER_03: You know, there's people like clamoring for Metallica, you know what I mean?
- 42:01SPEAKER_03: So it was pretty great.
- 42:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 42:03SPEAKER_03: But I remember I played the crap out of that friggin' tape.
- 42:06SPEAKER_02: There was a thing I saw on um Instagram, I think maybe uh Reels or something, where there's this sports team or this the sports.
- 42:14SPEAKER_03: Oh, it's a it's a Virginia College.
- 42:16SPEAKER_03: They use uh Inner Sands.
- 42:17SPEAKER_02: And they told them they couldn't.
- 42:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 42:19SPEAKER_02: And so they couldn't play the song.
- 42:21SPEAKER_02: Uh actually Metallica didn't.
- 42:22SPEAKER_02: The school.
- 42:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the school singing.
- 42:23SPEAKER_02: So we're we're banning that if you can't play.
- 42:26SPEAKER_02: So the crowd starts singing it.
- 42:28SPEAKER_02: It's so awesome.
- 42:29SPEAKER_02: It was awesome.
- 42:30SPEAKER_03: I mean, uh not to get off the subject, but you know, Metallica's doing that contest where they're having school bands play their songs, and the winning school is gonna get like all new equipment.
- 42:40SPEAKER_03: They're gonna hear about that.
- 42:42SPEAKER_03: Metallica's gonna give them all like brand new instruments and equipment and stuff like that.
- 42:45SPEAKER_02: Wow, I didn't hear about that.
- 42:46SPEAKER_02: That's cool.
- 42:47SPEAKER_03: It's for like call it you know, like marching bands and things like that.
- 42:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so that's pretty cool.
- 42:50SPEAKER_02: That's awesome.
- 42:51SPEAKER_02: Uh, because they have more money than anybody.
- 42:53SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean you think about it, I mean just give back.
- 42:58SPEAKER_03: That's what that's exactly what they're doing because they do that that uh fundraiser for that school.
- 43:03SPEAKER_02: Oh yes, I know what you're talking about.
- 43:05SPEAKER_03: Um I think it's a school for deaf kids.
- 43:07SPEAKER_02: It is.
- 43:08SPEAKER_03: And uh they so they they you're every year they do a they do a benefit concert for them.
- 43:12SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 43:12SPEAKER_03: And it's all Metallica, but it's all acoustic.
- 43:15SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 43:16SPEAKER_03: And I mean they're doing this thing for school bands, you know.
- 43:19SPEAKER_02: They do they I know James Heffield does acous an acoustic um set at Acoustic for a Cure, which is Sammy Hagar's um charity.
- 43:27SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, because uh I mean they were and they bought that vinyl, you know, share in that vinyl uh factory in Virginia.
- 43:34SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 43:36SPEAKER_03: I mean it's like, well, we got one million bazillion dollars.
- 43:40SPEAKER_03: What are we gonna do?
- 43:41SPEAKER_03: Let's we should do stuff.
- 43:42SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 43:43SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, the the I mean you know that they're doing okay when they're auditioning bass players, they finally hire Rob.
- 43:49SPEAKER_02: This is all in the some kind of monster movie.
- 43:51SPEAKER_02: We're gonna give you a million dollars.
- 43:55SPEAKER_03: The funny thing is that Rob's just kind of like he's got his arms like on the table like this.
- 44:00SPEAKER_03: And they go, we're gonna give you, you know, and Lars is like, we're gonna give you one million dollars up front.
- 44:05SPEAKER_03: And Rob just kind of went, you know, he just jut his head forward and he's like, What?
- 44:09SPEAKER_02: What?
- 44:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:12SPEAKER_02: So I don't think they're hurting.
- 44:14SPEAKER_02: No, I think so.
- 44:15SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 44:15SPEAKER_02: What do you think is at number three?
- 44:17SPEAKER_02: Well, let's see.
- 44:21SPEAKER_02: They call it one of their uh three undisputed masterpieces.
- 44:26SPEAKER_03: Well, it's either Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning, or Master Puppets.
- 44:31SPEAKER_02: It is Ride the Lightning.
- 44:32SPEAKER_02: It is Ride the Lightning.
- 44:33SPEAKER_02: From 1984.
- 44:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:35SPEAKER_02: They expanded uh the sound of their debut album, barely a year old at the time.
- 44:40SPEAKER_02: Uh Creeping Death is on there for whom the bell tolls, obviously.
- 44:43SPEAKER_03: Creeping Death is one of my favorite metallic songs of all time.
- 44:46SPEAKER_02: Fade to Black.
- 44:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:48SPEAKER_02: I remember when I was in high school, there was a guy that was learning to play guitar, and that's all he did.
- 44:52SPEAKER_02: Doom doom doom ding doom ding doom and played.
- 44:55SPEAKER_03: It's not a super difficult riff.
- 44:56SPEAKER_03: I probably could pick it up.
- 44:58SPEAKER_03: It's not.
- 44:59SPEAKER_02: But it's but it's very memorable.
- 45:01SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 45:01SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 45:02SPEAKER_02: Alright.
- 45:02SPEAKER_02: So number two, what do you think?
- 45:03SPEAKER_02: Is it is it kill 'em all?
- 45:05SPEAKER_02: It's kill'em all.
- 45:06unknown: No.
- 45:06SPEAKER_02: So you think Master Puppets obviously is number one.
- 45:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 45:09SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 45:09SPEAKER_02: You're right.
- 45:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 45:10SPEAKER_02: Kill 'em all uh seems a bit raw and unhinged, but in this case that's not a bad thing at all.
- 45:15SPEAKER_02: Unlike St.
- 45:16SPEAKER_02: Anger this time around, the dazzling combination of speed and precision on songs like Hit the Lights and Jumpin' the Fire hits even harder thanks to the lack of production.
- 45:23SPEAKER_03: Well, you know, the best song on that album, I think, is Sir uh Seek and Destroy.
- 45:28SPEAKER_02: Seek and Destroy.
- 45:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 45:30SPEAKER_02: Which was Cliff Burton, right?
- 45:32SPEAKER_02: That that riff that riff.
- 45:33SPEAKER_03: They were all Cliff Burton.
- 45:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but I mean, isn't that we played?
- 45:40SPEAKER_03: He does he does uh on the Kill 'em all, he does a song called Anesthesia.
- 45:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 45:43SPEAKER_02: Pulling teeth.
- 45:44SPEAKER_02: That's a bass solo.
- 45:45SPEAKER_02: Well, what I'm thinking of is we we featured on the podcast, I think, one time where he was in another band.
- 45:50SPEAKER_02: And he was that Seek and Destroy?
- 45:53SPEAKER_03: Or was that a different It might have been a different song.
- 45:56SPEAKER_03: I don't think it was Seek and Destroy.
- 45:58SPEAKER_02: Anyway.
- 45:58unknown: Yeah.
- 45:59SPEAKER_02: Um and yeah, Master Puppets number one.
- 46:01SPEAKER_02: I would agree with that.
- 46:02SPEAKER_02: Um it would take another half decade for the world to realize it, but in reality, Master Puppets, and not the Black Album, is the album that made Metallica the still reigning kings of heavy metal.
- 46:11SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 46:12SPEAKER_03: I I think Black the Black Album.
- 46:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it just g it just you know gave them a wider audience, but Master Puppets is the one that it was like, these guys are awesome.
- 46:22SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 46:22SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
- 46:23SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 46:23SPEAKER_03: I wish I I wish I had discovered Metallica during that period and not And Justice for All.
- 46:29SPEAKER_02: During the Master of Puppets period?
- 46:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 46:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 46:32SPEAKER_03: Because I got you know, I discovered them during the Justice for All period.
- 46:36SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 46:37SPEAKER_03: And then I went back to Master of Puppets and I went, oh, this is even better.
- 46:42SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 46:42SPEAKER_03: You know, and then that just you know just snowballed into my love affair with Metallica.
- 46:48SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 46:49SPEAKER_02: Um Doug Hart's Metallica.
- 46:51SPEAKER_02: What is the um do you know the story behind the because I just got the the new album.
- 46:58SPEAKER_02: Um uh the 72 seasons.
- 47:01SPEAKER_02: And do you know why uh I mean is that a filter or does he look that old?
- 47:06SPEAKER_02: He does look that old.
- 47:07SPEAKER_02: Does he?
- 47:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 47:08SPEAKER_03: Um well I mean, no offense to James.
- 47:11SPEAKER_02: These are filters.
- 47:12SPEAKER_02: I I mean it is a it is a I think I think it made them look older.
- 47:16SPEAKER_02: And they all look sad.
- 47:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 47:17SPEAKER_03: Well, but I mean it's Metallica.
- 47:19SPEAKER_03: They're supposed to, you know, they're supposed to look that way.
- 47:22SPEAKER_02: Are they?
- 47:22SPEAKER_03: Well, I mean, look at even Lars is trying to look like old.
- 47:26SPEAKER_03: But he's he's probably the most youthful out of the four.
- 47:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I would agree with that.
- 47:30SPEAKER_03: You know?
- 47:31unknown: Yeah.
- 47:31SPEAKER_03: So I don't know.
- 47:32SPEAKER_02: Um the packaging on the new album is pretty cool.
- 47:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I like the fold, you know, it's all of them and then it folds out, and it's pretty cool.
- 47:40SPEAKER_03: The only thing I don't like is the book sits in the middle.
- 47:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and so when you open it, it falls out.
- 47:46SPEAKER_02: That's alright though.
- 47:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I I'm okay with it.
- 47:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 47:49SPEAKER_02: So there you go.
- 47:51SPEAKER_02: That's uh the uh album Metallica albums.
- 47:56SPEAKER_02: Range from worst to best.
- 47:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 47:58SPEAKER_03: I mean, I I I disagreed with some of it, but I mean I mean they were pretty spot on, yeah, to be honest with you.
- 48:03SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think so.
- 48:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 48:04SPEAKER_03: Oh, before we go to the book, I want to share that Eddie Trunk thing.
- 48:09SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
- 48:11SPEAKER_03: Because he is our best friend.
- 48:12SPEAKER_02: He is, yes.
- 48:12SPEAKER_03: Hi Ed.
- 48:13SPEAKER_03: How's it going, man?
- 48:15SPEAKER_02: Um, you're talking about the rock and roll hall thing?
- 48:17SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 48:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 48:17SPEAKER_02: Um surprised me.
- 48:19SPEAKER_03: It did too.
- 48:20SPEAKER_03: And the fact that he shared it.
- 48:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because I wonder how much grief he took for it.
- 48:25SPEAKER_03: Well, I I I thought this was supposed to be a secret thing.
- 48:28SPEAKER_03: But I I guess I don't know.
- 48:30SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 48:31SPEAKER_03: But anyway, Eddie Trunk posted his votes for the nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
- 48:38SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 48:39SPEAKER_03: And he posted a picture of it.
- 48:40SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 48:40SPEAKER_03: So it's just that it's it looks like a credit card receipt.
- 48:43SPEAKER_03: You know, you get at the restaurant.
- 48:45SPEAKER_03: That's what it looks like to me.
- 48:46SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 48:46SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 48:47SPEAKER_03: It's got his it's got his name at the top, and I don't know if he's his signature or whatever, but it is looks like a two-year-old having a seizure.
- 48:55SPEAKER_03: Um but it says please vote for a maximum of five nominees.
- 48:59SPEAKER_03: And then it lists all the nominees and has a little box before them.
- 49:02SPEAKER_03: So this is what Eddie Trunk.
- 49:05SPEAKER_03: This these are the people that Eddie vote Eddie voted into the Rocco, his votes.
- 49:11SPEAKER_03: Number one, Cheryl Crow.
- 49:14SPEAKER_02: Still surprises me.
- 49:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 49:15SPEAKER_02: A little bit.
- 49:16SPEAKER_03: But not as much.
- 49:17SPEAKER_03: Number two, Iron Maiden.
- 49:19SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 49:19SPEAKER_02: Which was good.
- 49:20SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 49:22SPEAKER_03: Rage Against the Machine.
- 49:23SPEAKER_02: He's a friend of Tom Morello.
- 49:24SPEAKER_02: Tom Morrell's.
- 49:26SPEAKER_03: I get that.
- 49:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:27SPEAKER_03: Soundgarden.
- 49:28SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:28SPEAKER_02: I get that too.
- 49:29SPEAKER_02: Willie Nelson.
- 49:31SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 49:32SPEAKER_02: Why?
- 49:32SPEAKER_02: I don't get it.
- 49:33SPEAKER_02: Why, Eddie?
- 49:34SPEAKER_02: Why?
- 49:35SPEAKER_02: I don't get it.
- 49:36SPEAKER_02: So you have Warren Zevon, who's not in there, who should be.
- 49:41SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 49:41SPEAKER_02: You have the Spinners, who are legends.
- 49:46SPEAKER_03: Um, of course you got Tribe Call Quest, the White Stripes, George Michael, City Lauper, Joy Division, New to Order, Missy Elliott, and Kate Bush.
- 49:55SPEAKER_03: Those are the only other ones.
- 49:57SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 49:58SPEAKER_02: Um I would have put Warren Zevon in over Willie Nelson.
- 50:01SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah, why not, man?
- 50:03SPEAKER_02: Willie Nelson is a country artist.
- 50:05SPEAKER_02: Did he I wonder if he vote if he voted for Dolly Parton when she was nominated last year?
- 50:09SPEAKER_03: If if if this is any indication, he probably did.

- 1:03:25SPEAKER_02: Well.
- 1:03:28SPEAKER_02: The lead singer and bass player.
- 1:03:31SPEAKER_02: Winger.
- 1:03:32SPEAKER_02: There's a I was gonna say there's ant.
- 1:03:34SPEAKER_02: Um puts out his own music.

- 1:03:44SPEAKER_02: He also played in Ringo's band.
- 1:03:48SPEAKER_02: Um and the uh drummer is a, I believe, a session drummer.
- 1:03:54SPEAKER_02: The keyboard player played keyboards for Kenny Loggins for a long time.
- 1:03:59SPEAKER_02: And I think he was his musical director.
- 1:04:02SPEAKER_02: And the guitar player, I'm not sure what the guitar player is doing.
- 1:04:07SPEAKER_03: What about so is the singer also the bass player?
- 1:04:10SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 1:04:19SPEAKER_02: And I will tell you that the the reason I have this album is basically nostalgia.
- 1:04:24SPEAKER_02: I I I do like this band.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_02: But um Oh, is it Duran Randy?
- 1:04:29SPEAKER_02: Nope.

- 1:04:55SPEAKER_02: Actually, two of them were pretty big.
- 1:04:57SPEAKER_04: Okay.

- 1:05:40SPEAKER_03: Uh I know the answer.
- 1:05:42SPEAKER_03: I'm just prolonging this, you know.
- 1:05:44SPEAKER_02: The w the video for one of the songs, and we talked about this uh I hope we haven't done this band before.
- 1:05:50SPEAKER_02: I don't think we have.
- 1:05:52SPEAKER_02: Maybe we have.
- 1:05:53SPEAKER_02: Now that I think about it, I don't think we have.
- 1:05:57SPEAKER_02: Anyway, one of the videos for One of the songs made me want to be in a band.
- 1:06:07SPEAKER_02: Does it show them messing around and and having fun on tour and stuff like that?
- 1:06:13SPEAKER_02: We talked about that before, but I'm not sure what we're talking about.
- 1:06:17SPEAKER_02: Was that what it was?

- 1:06:56SPEAKER_03: Mr.
- 1:06:57SPEAKER_03: Mr.
- 1:06:57SPEAKER_03: It is Mr.
- 1:06:58SPEAKER_03: Mister.
- 1:06:59SPEAKER_03: Oh man, yeah.
- 1:07:02SPEAKER_02: So this is so this is the song.
- 1:07:03SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you've seen the video for this song.
- 1:07:07SPEAKER_03: Oh, Kyrie Laser.
- 1:07:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:07:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:07:10SPEAKER_02: Um, it's them playing on a stage, right?
- 1:07:13SPEAKER_02: On a soundstage.
- 1:07:14SPEAKER_02: But it's also them goofing off.
- 1:07:17SPEAKER_03: Oh, sure, yeah.
- 1:07:18SPEAKER_02: Like their foot feet out of a limousine and just goofing off on tour.
- 1:07:24SPEAKER_03: Oh, of course, yeah.
- 1:07:25SPEAKER_03: Those were always the best.
- 1:07:29SPEAKER_02: So surprisingly, this was not the first single from this album.
- 1:07:35SPEAKER_02: The album, by the way, is Welcome to the Real World.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_02: Ah, yeah, okay.
- 1:07:41SPEAKER_02: Um.
- 1:07:42SPEAKER_02: So it's 85, so everything is electronic.
- 1:07:45SPEAKER_02: Oh, of course, yeah.
- 1:07:46SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 1:07:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:07:47SPEAKER_09: Um The wind blows hard against this mountain side.
- 1:07:53SPEAKER_02: But this was Richard Page uh was in a band called Pages, him and his brother, in the 70s.
- 1:08:01SPEAKER_02: And they were very soft rock.
- 1:08:02SPEAKER_02: They were very um seals and crofts.
- 1:08:05SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
- 1:08:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:08:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:08:07SPEAKER_02: And then this is obviously way different.
- 1:08:17SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 1:08:17SPEAKER_02: I mean it's every time this is one of those songs that when you're driving along and it comes on, I crank it.
- 1:08:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:08:22SPEAKER_03: You gotta you have to.
- 1:08:23SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
- 1:08:24SPEAKER_03: It's the law.
- 1:08:29SPEAKER_03: Now Kiri a liaison means something in Hebrew, right?
- 1:08:32SPEAKER_02: Yes, it means um uh it's funny that you say that because the chorus, my my high school chorus just did a song called Kiri.
- 1:08:44SPEAKER_02: Kiri A.
- 1:08:45SPEAKER_02: I think it means like Lord uh Have Mercy.
- 1:08:51SPEAKER_02: How do you spell that?
- 1:08:52SPEAKER_02: Kiri K-Y-R-I-E.
- 1:08:56SPEAKER_02: And then ille song is G-L-A-I.
- 1:08:59SPEAKER_02: I think it's Lord Have Mercy.
- 1:09:01SPEAKER_03: Uh it's actually Greek.
- 1:09:06SPEAKER_02: Does that mean Lord Have Mercy?
- 1:09:08SPEAKER_03: Uh Lord Have Mercy.
- 1:09:09SPEAKER_03: Yep, yep, yep.
- 1:09:10SPEAKER_02: It was something like that.
- 1:09:11SPEAKER_03: A transliteration of Greek.
- 1:09:14SPEAKER_03: It's a common name of an important prayer in Christian liturgy.
- 1:09:22SPEAKER_02: So this was the other big one.
- 1:09:24SPEAKER_02: This is the one that I would think would be on all the 80s compilation CDs, Broken Wings.
- 1:09:29SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 1:09:32SPEAKER_02: This was huge.
- 1:09:33SPEAKER_02: This was a huge hit for them.
- 1:09:36SPEAKER_02: But ironically, not ironically, but I bought the first single from the album, and it was a 45.
- 1:09:48SPEAKER_02: I bought a 45 right away from Mr.
- 1:09:51SPEAKER_02: Mister at the record store.
- 1:09:53SPEAKER_02: And it was this one.
- 1:09:57SPEAKER_03: Oh, I totally forgot about this song.
- 1:09:59SPEAKER_03: Yeah, is it love?
- 1:10:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:10:00SPEAKER_02: Is it love?
- 1:10:01SPEAKER_03: This is a great song.
- 1:10:21SPEAKER_06: I stay hello.
- 1:10:23SPEAKER_06: I told you.
- 1:10:26SPEAKER_06: I say I spare you.
- 1:10:28SPEAKER_06: Well that's your fear.
- 1:10:30SPEAKER_06: I don't know the message.
- 1:10:32SPEAKER_06: My heart is tangent.
- 1:10:34SPEAKER_06: You don't read it.
- 1:10:36SPEAKER_06: You keep me guessing.
- 1:10:39SPEAKER_06: It's not it's not the wrap.
- 1:10:41SPEAKER_02: But his voice, Richard Page's voice is just awesome.
- 1:10:45SPEAKER_02: He is a really great singer.
- 1:10:47SPEAKER_02: And so this was the the A side, and the B side was this beautiful ballad called Run to Her.
- 1:10:59SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_06: It's those trash can snares.
- 1:11:02SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 1:11:07SPEAKER_09: So we see that much.
- 1:11:46SPEAKER_02: I have um one of Richard Page's solo albums.
- 1:11:49SPEAKER_02: Oh.
- 1:11:50SPEAKER_02: And I thought I apparently I only have one song in here.
- 1:11:53SPEAKER_02: Oh.
- 1:11:54SPEAKER_02: So this is the kind of music that Richard Page makes on his own.
- 1:11:59SPEAKER_03: A little different.
- 1:12:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:12:13SPEAKER_06: Ever since I can remember.
- 1:12:17SPEAKER_06: I always try to do it.
- 1:12:18SPEAKER_02: And obviously this is later, right?
- 1:12:20SPEAKER_02: It's not in the 80s.
- 1:12:21SPEAKER_02: No, no, definitely not.
- 1:12:22SPEAKER_03: This gotta be 90s.
- 1:12:25SPEAKER_03: Oh, right?
- 1:12:25SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 1:12:25SPEAKER_02: This was 2000s.
- 1:12:28SPEAKER_02: And then for a while, he sang lead for a band called Third Matinee.
- 1:12:32SPEAKER_02: Never heard of it.
- 1:12:32SPEAKER_02: Yep, nobody ever did either.
- 1:12:34SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:12:34SPEAKER_02: But I have this one.
- 1:12:36SPEAKER_02: Which I love the song.
- 1:12:37SPEAKER_02: This is called Echo Hill.
- 1:12:38SPEAKER_02: From Third Matinee, featuring Richard Page on vocals.
- 1:12:52SPEAKER_02: Especially the chorus.
- 1:12:54SPEAKER_02: Just give it a second.
- 1:13:27SPEAKER_09: I feel I want to do it.
- 1:13:34SPEAKER_02: Just gotta wait till it gets to the chords, because that's the best part.
- 1:13:39SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it's cool.
- 1:14:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so it's it's cool.
- 1:14:09SPEAKER_02: Anyway, so that's what he's been doing since um since Mr.
- 1:14:12SPEAKER_02: Mr.
- 1:14:12SPEAKER_02: I am just curious because last time I saw um an interview with him was with a professor of rock.
- 1:14:20SPEAKER_02: Alright.
- 1:14:21SPEAKER_02: Um and I forget that this man is uh because he was he did play bass for Ringo Star.
- 1:14:33SPEAKER_02: This man is 69 years old.
- 1:14:35SPEAKER_02: Is he really?
- 1:14:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_02: Uh but still sings awesome.
- 1:14:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he sounds great.
- 1:14:42SPEAKER_02: Sings background music for a lot of uh a lot of different people, but uh what he's most known for, I think, is Mr.
- 1:14:49SPEAKER_02: Mister.
- 1:14:50SPEAKER_02: Uh Kirier and Broken Wings and that whole album.
- 1:14:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:14:53SPEAKER_02: And I do have one one of their albums on vinyl, I can't remember which one it is.
- 1:14:56SPEAKER_02: Move uh Go On, I think is what it's called.
- 1:15:00SPEAKER_02: But yeah, I really like uh Richard Page's voice.
- 1:15:04SPEAKER_02: I really like Mr.
- 1:15:05SPEAKER_02: Mister.
- 1:15:06SPEAKER_02: I really like Mr.
- 1:15:07SPEAKER_02: Mr.
- 1:15:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they had uh this one right here.
- 1:15:15SPEAKER_02: Of course, you get this, you know, the 80s production value, which is soft the charts sometimes hard to swallow.
- 1:15:23SPEAKER_03: I don't know, I kinda I kinda look at it nostalgically.
- 1:15:26SPEAKER_03: Well that's why I have this album.
- 1:15:28SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:15:28SPEAKER_02: Because it's so 80s.
- 1:15:31SPEAKER_02: But the songwriting is there, you know.
- 1:15:33SPEAKER_03: I mean and we have never done Mr.
- 1:15:37SPEAKER_03: Mr.
- 1:15:37SPEAKER_03: Oh good.
- 1:15:37SPEAKER_03: So good.
- 1:15:46SPEAKER_06: He has a certain player.
- 1:15:50SPEAKER_02: That's the thing.
- 1:15:51SPEAKER_02: The chorus was the was the big thing.
- 1:15:54SPEAKER_02: It usually is, but yeah.
- 1:15:58SPEAKER_02: This one into my own hands.
- 1:16:08SPEAKER_02: This is Barry 80s.
- 1:16:10SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
- 1:16:10SPEAKER_02: This is almost like something from weird science or something.
- 1:16:13SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, right.
- 1:16:14SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:16:16SPEAKER_02: But but I dig it.
- 1:16:18SPEAKER_02: I dig it.
- 1:16:18SPEAKER_02: So that's from 1985.

- 1:16:48SPEAKER_11: I'm not sure if that'll I don't know.
- 1:16:50SPEAKER_11: I don't think we should.
- 1:16:51SPEAKER_11: I think we should come up with something better.
- 1:16:53SPEAKER_11: I think you're right.
- 1:16:54SPEAKER_03: We should call it petrified turd.
- 1:16:59SPEAKER_03: That's much more palatable.
- 1:17:03SPEAKER_03: Not petrified turd.
- 1:17:06SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:17:06SPEAKER_03: There's gotta be something better.
- 1:17:09SPEAKER_02: I don't know what it is.
- 1:17:10SPEAKER_02: I mean, it pales in comparison to I've got a baggage me pocket.
- 1:17:14SPEAKER_02: Nothing will ever change.
- 1:17:15SPEAKER_02: Or John Bon Jovi is the lint in Doug's pocket.
- 1:17:18SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's not I mean, that's kind of funny.
- 1:17:21SPEAKER_02: What our last two episodes both had the word pocket in them.
- 1:17:25SPEAKER_03: Wow.

- 1:17:29SPEAKER_02: No, the one before the one before that said uh it's called the We couldn't think of a name for this episode episode.
- 1:17:37SPEAKER_03: Let's go for the trifecta and make this one a pocket episode.

- 1:18:52SPEAKER_02: True.
- 1:18:54SPEAKER_02: This is all the stuff you wouldn't think about before.
- 1:18:57SPEAKER_03: This is like professional podcasters, they would do all this stuff ahead of time, not us.
- 1:19:02SPEAKER_03: We do ignore it, the podcast.
