• 14:09
  SPEAKER_13: Yep, harder edge, for sure.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_13: Uh so that's pretty cool.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_10: And again, I don't know if it's a one-off or if it's a it's gotta be, because like I said, the only album I know of coming out is a Christmas album.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_13: Right.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_10: Which will which will be interesting.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_10: I can't wait for that one.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_13: Um and I have another uh song I want to play.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_13: I haven't heard it yet.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_13: Uh and then we'll go and we'll uh see what else what other news we've got.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_13: But I did I did want to say this.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_13: Uh your mother lost her iPad?
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_13: She laid it on the back of the car and forgot about it?
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_13: And then she took her car into Blaine.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_13: Yes.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_13: So it's between her house and the potato stand uh in Blaine.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, and I I I drove that and I didn't see it.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_13: So you went looking for it.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_10: Well, she went looking for it, and then I just happened to know it'd be I had had to go play.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_10: So I just looked too, but I who knows where it is.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_10: That stinks.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_10: I don't know why she had to take it.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_10: I mean, you know.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_10: Well, I mean I get it, but I don't know.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_13: Uh let's see.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_13: So Foo Fighters.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_13: They fired their drummer, Josh Frees.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_13: And I don't know, uh first new music from uh from the Foo Fighters since 2023's but here we are.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_13: This is called Today's Song.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_13: Um there's really no um it's to mark their 30th anniversary, apparently.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_13: There's no other context.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_13: And look, I mean you can see the article is really oh no, I guess there's more to it.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_13: Uh release a statement noting over the years we've had moments of unbridled joy, moments of devastating heartbreak, moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_13: We have mended broken bones and broken hearts, but we have followed this road together with each other, for each other, no matter what, because in life you just can't go it alone.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_13: Um it should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Frees, the story would be incomplete.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_13: So we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_13: Thank you, gentlemen.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_13: And Taylor, your name is spoken every day.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_13: Sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_13: Um so to mark the 30th 30th anniversary, this is the Foo Fighters today's song.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_13: And if there are drums, I don't know who's playing them.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_13: Probably him.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_13: Probably it's probably Dave.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah, probably Dave.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_13: So let's see what this sounds like.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_03: I woke today, screaming for change, and know that I must hear a shadow.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_03: Ashes to ashes, dust and to dust.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_03: You know that nothing can prepare you.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_03: Don't let these group work prepare you.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_03: Waiting for someone to prepare you.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_10: It's typical Foo Fighters.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_13: Typical Foo Fighters.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_13: It seems very it seems even more compressed than most food fighters.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_13: You can hear the the compression in it.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_13: I mean, a lot of Foo Fighters music is is that way, but and maybe I'm just getting old and it's you know.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_13: Nah, nah.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_13: Not me.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_13: So that's good stuff.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_13: Um speaking of drummers parting ways, did you see Matt Cameron?
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah, he's leaving Pearl Jam.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_13: Um no reason was given.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_13: No.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_13: Just decided.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_13: So um boy.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_13: Um Good luck finding your dad.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_13: Did I ever tell you that story?
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_00: What?
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_13: About um no, I yeah, I did, I did on the podcast.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_13: One of my chorus students, remember I I used that.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_11: Oh yeah.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah, yeah.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_13: We won't go there again.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah, that's right.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_13: I forgot.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_13: Um so speaking of Dave Grohl, I would th have thought he would have been a part of that big Black Sabbath show.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_10: Um I thought the Food Fighters were there.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_13: I don't think so.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_10: I thought they were.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_13: Let's see.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_13: Uh well, I can click on this one.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_13: It says who will cover which Black Sabbath songs at their farewell show.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_13: Um, Guns N' Roses, Tool, Slayer, Pantera, Alice and Chains, Anthrax, Steven Tyler, and that's it.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_13: I mean, there were other artists there, but those are the.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_10: I could have swore I saw them on the list.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_13: Uh I think they were notably absent.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_13: And Dave Grohl was somebody I mean, he's a huge Black Sabbath fan.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_10: Uh but maybe it's because they don't have a drummer and I mean I mean it could be.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_10: But I mean, who wouldn't play for Foo Fighters and at that show?
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_10: Right, exactly.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_10: You know what I mean?
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_13: Maybe they're like, you probably couldn't So speaking of that show, I've only seen because you it's a pay-per-view thing and I didn't I didn't know uh I've only seen I've seen clips.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_13: A lot of clips, actually.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_13: Nuno Betancourt apparently was the most valuable player of that of that whole um festival, that whole show.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_13: Oh sure.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_13: Um he played um well he was only supposed to play three songs.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_13: Uh but people kept coming to him and saying, Can you do this one?
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_13: And so he ended up playing twelve.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_13: Twelve songs, uh Black Sabbath songs, Aussie songs.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_13: Um and he knew all the parts.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_13: Well of course he did.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_13: He known all.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_13: I mean, even Jakey Lee was up there and he told uh Nuno, of course, Jakey Lee's still recovering.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_13: I don't know if you knew that.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_13: Uh he got shot.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_13: Um but he said he can't do Bark on the Moon.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_13: Uh he's just not able to do it these days.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_13: And so without a beat, Nuno Betancourt stepped stepped up and and did Bark on the Moon and a couple other ones.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_13: So ultimate sin, I think.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_13: And um but I mean from everybody that I've seen um online that are talking about this.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_13: They're all talking about how Newton Betancourt just killed it.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_13: So they said, you know, he did his homework and and of course he did.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_13: Um I did watch and it was c I didn't think it would aff affect me because I you know, I appreciate Black Sabbath.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_13: I was never a big Sabbath fan.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_13: Right.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_13: Um I appreciate appreciate Aussie.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_13: I was never a huge Aussie fan.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_13: Right.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_13: I mean I I I love the music, but uh and I own some of the music, but I'm I'm not like a mega fan.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_13: Um but he did Mama I'm Coming Home and I mean he can barely I mean I shouldn't say he can barely sing.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_13: He sang.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_13: It was rough and he's he was sitting down he's got Parkinson's yeah you know uh but they they pan to like audience members and there's people crying.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_13: You know just because it was kind of uh this is his last time doing that.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_13: You know so it was kind of heavy.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_13: Um who else?
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_13: Let's see Steven Tyler went up and did a Zeppelin tune and did Walk This Way and and he had been suffering he's the same age as Ozzy 77.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah you wouldn't know it that guy.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_13: He had been suffering from some vocal problems which is why Aerosmith canceled their residency and you know they cancelled a bunch of stuff um so he could rest and and whatnot.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_13: He sounded amazing I mean and now there was talk of of you know putting that back together just so that they could that Aerosmith can say goodbye.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_10: Sure.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah we'll see yeah uh what else Stranger Things have happened.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah what else let's see uh about that concert did you did you see any performances or anything from that concert?
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_10: No just clips mostly it's mostly of Ozzy.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah obviously yeah paranoid the original Black Sabbath got up there all original members it was weird to see Bill Ward back there with no shirt.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah I was like not a good look for you dude yeah well you know but you still killed it oh yeah you know um so let's see I'm looking at ultimate classic rock headlines here um and some that we might want to talk about I don't see any yet top 15 rock songs of 2025 so far boring yeah you'd have to know the rock songs we probably don't probably don't um top 50 American rock songs that's of course because of the 4th of July whatever that means I guess that makes sense um top 20 American rock bands of the 2000s nobody cares nobody cares um who covered which Black Sabbath Metallica debuts Black Sabbath deep cut at the back to the beginning concert did you hear what they I have no idea.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_13: I didn't hear about this I didn't either let's see because I didn't get to see um let's see Metallica Rock Birmingham England's Villa Park as part of the gargantuan back to the beginning concert storming through a six song set of Sabbath covers and originals that got the audience primed for the evening's main attractions the Thrash Legends opened their set with the sabotage classic Hole in the Sky which they hadn't performed live since 2009.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_13: They also dug deep into the Sabbath archives for a cover of Johnny Blade off Never Say Die, marking the first time they'd ever played the song live.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_13: Um they also did Creeping Death For Whom the Bell Tolls Battery and Master of Puppets So I guess that's the deep cut hole in the sky I don't know if that's a deep cut buttons I mean it's not it's not a you know one of Black Sabbath's you know most popular songs.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_13: True so um I'm looking at some of these headlines Scorpions are having uh there's a biopic coming um people playing uh playing the members of the scorpions that'll be weird it will be weird I mean they did it with Def Leopard and that was kind of an awful yeah I I don't know how I feel about I don't I mean that that just you know I don't know yeah I I I got mixed feelings about it.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_10: I mean it'd be cool to see but I really don't want to watch some you know jag off try to be you know you know anybody in the scorpion exactly you're not even doing it right you just you suck.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_10: Go back to being in a Marvel movie.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_13: Come on so uh speaking of biopics uh here is there's a there was a story around the Ozzy Osbourne back to the beginning um concert where Sharon Osborne apparently fired a band off of the ticket like there was they were scheduled to perform and she said you're not performing I wonder who it was I think I know was it Foo Fighters?
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_13: No no no it wasn't a Foo Fighters uh and the reason that she gave was they were trying to cash in on it.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_13: They were trying to um you know this was about uh being a tribute to Ozzy according to Sharon and and and and Black Sabbath and it was uh they wanted to get paid.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_13: So these other performers they didn't get paid.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_13: Right this band wanted to get paid.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_13: And so she said no figure out it was nickel back I bet.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_13: No I bet I know who it was because what other band has kind of a history with Ozzy uh did a lot of um kind of crazy antics with Aussie Wasp?
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_13: No they opened for Motley Crew Motley Crue that would make sense yeah I don't know that for sure I can't confirm that that was the band but that's that's what I suspect.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_13: It wouldn't it wouldn't surprise me with that whole Dolly Parton right you would you would think that because I mean Motley Crue went on tour with Ozzy and they they he basically made Motley Crue.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_13: Exactly that's what I'm saying.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_13: And it was even in the movie The Dirt wasn't it?
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah yeah they showed that whole thing where Ozzy was snorting up ants.
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_13: Right yeah so the fact that there was there was a high profile band that was not allowed to perform I'm thinking I'm thinking it was Motley Cruz I wouldn't be surprised yeah me either um Ultimate Classic Rock does have a list of artists that they believe should get their own Back to the beginning concert.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_10: Okay.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_13: Um and I I don't disagree with a couple of these um because it's it's time you know for them to hang it up.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_13: Right.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_13: Aerosmith is one.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_13: Um they for all intents and purposes have hung it up but hopefully Steven Tyler I mean he sounded fantastic at the end I'd like to see him go out on top exactly you know yeah you do want them to do like a a farewell even if not a farewell tour.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_13: Or just do their residency then then do a a few concerts or something or or one big concert like they did with Ozzy.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_13: Um Van Halen.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_13: I don't think it's gonna I mean That's never gonna happen.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_13: Well did they do that with Sammy and Mike?
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_13: The uh bat the uh uh best of both worlds tour I mean what was wasn't that what that was kind of I don't know what that was to be honest with you.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_13: No it was just I think everybody was just broke.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_13: Oh I don't think Sammy Hagar's broke not Sammy but everybody else um I think I I think they kind of tr that's what they kind of tried to do with that tour was to thank the fans and and oh I'm sure that's you know that was part of it.
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_13: Carry on the legacy of the music and stuff yeah but you're never gonna see that again.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah I agree because I don't think Alex is going to be involved in anything like that.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_13: Alex is not going to do anything Roth Roth is a loose cannon yeah you never know Wolfgang's got his own thing going on so you know Iron Maiden I don't think Iron Maiden's time to hang it up when is Iron Maiden never gonna stop exactly I don't think they're hanging it up anytime soon.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_10: And the only way the only way you're gonna stop Iron Maiden is for Bruce Dickinson to crash their plane that's the only way they're gonna stop.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_10: Right?
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_10: So well except for Nico he's not playing with them anymore he retired.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_13: Nico McBrain yep yeah so um so Iron Maiden has uh Bruce Dickinson has uh said of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame he calls it vulgar and a mausoleum and declared that he wouldn't be caught dead in its hallways but they should still be voted in.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_13: Okay.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_13: Okay.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_13: A C D C now A C D C um announced a um a small tour I think uh and they ha I've seen footage of them and there's people you know commenting about the footage that they should hang it up and I'm and I'm thinking I think they sound just as good as they always have.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_13: I mean they're they're a bar band.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_13: You know?
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_13: Um well maybe not just as good as they always have.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_13: Brian Johnson is still I mean he can hit those notes but he's he it's harder obviously yeah um yeah A C D C I mean would you would you is that something you'd want to see?
• 31:37

  SPEAKER_13: Right now this is true.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_13: Rolling Stones?

  SPEAKER_13: Green usually shares.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_13: Okay.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_13: It's I'm I'm not gonna say it's country but when these guys started harmonizing uh it was quite remarkable not remarkable but just really really well done so um this wasn't impressive to me until until they started kind of kind of harmonizing but because it it's it's great.
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_06: This is Ashes and Arrows a song called Hang On in my NC Is this just a game with no hand to play have I lost my eye in the end so far it's good.

• 52:02
  SPEAKER_13: Elvis songs.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah, well, that's right.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_13: The syndicate, because they said it's members of the Star City Syndicate, so I thought we were gonna play Syndicate songs.
• 52:08
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 52:08
  SPEAKER_13: But something they were sorely disposed to.
• 52:10
  SPEAKER_13: Something tells me that our gig at the Potato Blossom Festival, people are gonna think that we're playing like oldies.
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_10: I told you that story about us and governors a few weeks ago.
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_10: Where there was a pla people at a table across from us and they were talking about it.

• 52:55
  SPEAKER_13: Um with the syndicate.

  SPEAKER_10: Well, especially for the crowd that's gonna show up like two hours early for a syndicate.
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_13: For the syndicate.
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_13: That's what I'm saying.

• 53:06
  SPEAKER_10: What are they playing?

  SPEAKER_10: Uh this week's picks were really cool, but the one that really stuck out for me was the love of money.

  SPEAKER_10: Something about something about a guitar solo.
• 55:43
  SPEAKER_10: Uh no one knows you play the guitar, but oh do you ever?
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_10: What screaming guitar solo do you play at the talent show to melt the faces off your peers?
• 55:50
  SPEAKER_10: To steal the win and be carried off the stage in victory.
• 55:54
  SPEAKER_10: Nice.
• 55:55
  SPEAKER_10: This'll be interesting.
• 55:56
  SPEAKER_10: So, cousin Larry.
• 55:58
  SPEAKER_10: Says.
• 55:58
  SPEAKER_10: Says.
• 56:00
  SPEAKER_10: Cousin Larry.
• 56:01
  SPEAKER_10: We should make that a segment.
• 56:02
  SPEAKER_10: Cousin Larry says.
• 56:03
  SPEAKER_10: Cousin Larry says uh this might be the hardest mixtape question yet.
• 56:07
  SPEAKER_10: Eruption definitely came to mind, as you both mentioned, and I love Chuck Berry's Johnny Be Good.
• 56:12
  SPEAKER_10: But the question says screaming guitar solo to melt your peers' faces off.
• 56:16
  SPEAKER_10: So I was thinking something either hard rock or metal.
• 56:19
  SPEAKER_10: So I thought about Guns N' Roses' Sweet Child of Mine and Rush's Working Man, among many others.
• 56:24
  SPEAKER_10: But if I want to melt faces, I'm thinking Pantera and Dimebag Daryl.
• 56:29
  SPEAKER_10: My choice is Pantera's Cowboys from Hell, with honorable mention to one of my favorites, Van Halen tunes, Mean Streets.
• 56:36
  SPEAKER_10: Oh.
• 56:36
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, he's got good taste.
• 56:38
  SPEAKER_10: He's always got great taste, man.
• 56:40
  SPEAKER_10: It's a good thing this is not a real game because we would lose every friggin' dog.
• 56:44
  SPEAKER_13: Oh yeah, for sure.
• 56:46
  SPEAKER_13: For sure.
• 56:48
  SPEAKER_10: Oh shoot.
• 56:54
  SPEAKER_13: So this should I get to the solo?
• 56:57
  SPEAKER_10: No, that's what it is.
• 56:57
  SPEAKER_10: It's about the solo, right?
• 56:59
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 57:02
  SPEAKER_13: I don't know the song, so.

• 1:08:56
  SPEAKER_10: As with the Hard Days Night, the songs used in Help owed little to the script.

• 1:09:06
  SPEAKER_10: Unquote.
• 1:09:07
  SPEAKER_10: Confirms Dick Lester.
• 1:09:09
  SPEAKER_10: I was given a demo tape about with about nine songs, and I chose six of them in a rather arbitrary way, thinking that they were ones which I could do something with.
• 1:09:19
  SPEAKER_10: It was as casual as that, and I fitted the songs into the film in places where I thought I could do something with them.
• 1:09:27
  SPEAKER_10: Composed as a song of regret over a love lost, Paul was filmed singing the night before while surrounded by troops and tanks on Salisbury Plain.

  SPEAKER_13: I mean, you know, when you got Steve Perry.

  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, no, you know, no, no offense to him now, but they they should have stopped when Steve Perry left.
• 1:18:58
  SPEAKER_13: You think so?
• 1:18:59
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 1:18:59
  SPEAKER_10: Because, I mean, you know, they're still great.
• 1:19:02

  SPEAKER_10: They're still great, but they'll never reach this success again.

• 1:19:08
  SPEAKER_10: If you want me to be honest, I mean they're not.
• 1:19:10
  SPEAKER_13: No, I think you're right.

  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 1:19:20
  SPEAKER_13: Steve Perry, yeah.
• 1:19:22

  SPEAKER_13: And uh what's it, Greg Raleigh, who is the one of the other original keyboard player and singer singers.
• 1:19:28
  SPEAKER_13: Uh that would be that would be a sick show.

  SPEAKER_13: That would be awesome.
• 1:19:31
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 1:19:32
  SPEAKER_13: Uh this one is one of my favorites off this album.

• 1:20:26
  SPEAKER_13: Steve Perry's voice in the chorus of this just sore.
• 1:21:19
  SPEAKER_13: I just that that chorus, he's just that um and then of course they have a ballad called Troubled Child, which is really nice.
• 1:21:27
  SPEAKER_13: Uh I'm not gonna I'm not gonna play all of that.
• 1:21:29
  SPEAKER_13: There's one here, I don't know if it's Frontiers or if it's Rubicon.
• 1:21:33
  SPEAKER_13: The the I always wanted to try and figure out the time signature.
• 1:21:37
  SPEAKER_13: Um, because it's a little off.
• 1:21:38
  SPEAKER_13: Let me see if it's Frontiers.
• 1:21:46
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I think that sounds good.
• 1:21:48
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 1:22:26
  SPEAKER_10: I think it it is, but he's just I think it's it's it it's very sticky-fased.
• 1:22:30
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah, he's throwing stuff in there.
• 1:22:32
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 1:22:36
  SPEAKER_10: Very, very underrated.

  SPEAKER_10: I don't know what he's playing now.
• 1:23:06
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah, I don't I don't know what that's all over the place.
• 1:23:09
  SPEAKER_10: But it was not gonna be a rush song.

  SPEAKER_13: Right.
• 1:23:11
  SPEAKER_13: Uh one more.

  SPEAKER_10: Well, they're kind of famous for that.
• 1:24:23
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah, oh yeah.
• 1:24:27
  SPEAKER_13: So obviously, Neil Sean, one of my favorite uh guitar players, and uh you see that I was kind of digging around on my pedal board today.
• 1:24:38
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah, it's kind of a mess.
• 1:24:39
  SPEAKER_13: I had all of my pedals except for the ones on the shelf that are up on the top of the shelf.
• 1:24:45
  SPEAKER_13: Oh yeah.
• 1:24:45
  SPEAKER_13: I had all of the pedals hooked up and I played through my amp.
• 1:24:51
  SPEAKER_13: And I think it was a little too much juice, because it would come in and actually.
• 1:24:56
  SPEAKER_10: Well I was gonna say, did the did they have to go to auxiliary power?
• 1:25:01
  SPEAKER_13: Well, that i it kind of did.
• 1:25:02
  SPEAKER_13: I mean, I was playing along and then the the the power just kind of went, you know.
• 1:25:07
  SPEAKER_10: I have a couple different sources of power, but anyway, I'm looking at it and I'm Do the lights flicker like a like a prison movie when they're electrocuting somebody?
• 1:25:15
  SPEAKER_10: No.
• 1:25:16
  SPEAKER_13: But you see the little pedal board that I use for the syndicate.
• 1:25:19
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
• 1:25:20
  SPEAKER_13: So I had the I had the two M5s uh on the end over there, and I I said, I'm looking at it, and they're all hooked up.
• 1:25:30
  SPEAKER_13: And I have every sound that I really want is all right there.
• 1:25:36
  SPEAKER_13: And I'm thinking, why?
• 1:25:41
  SPEAKER_13: So what am I doing with my life?
• 1:25:43
  SPEAKER_13: So I reduced it down to uh my two M5s, which can give me any voice uh I want.
• 1:25:51
  SPEAKER_10: There's a little circular blue one there.
• 1:25:53
  SPEAKER_13: Oh that's uh that's a um uh fuzz face.
• 1:25:55
  SPEAKER_13: Oh, it's a fuzz face.
• 1:25:56
  SPEAKER_13: It's a fuzz face, yeah.
• 1:25:57
  SPEAKER_13: Um so I've got the two M5s, and then I'm gonna put I've got a rat pedal there, but I'm not gonna use it.
• 1:26:03
  SPEAKER_13: I think I'm gonna use my my green nobles pedal for an overdrive.
• 1:26:08
  SPEAKER_13: And I've got a compressor, and I'm gonna use the tuners on the M5, so I don't need a tuner on there.
• 1:26:13
  SPEAKER_13: And that's gonna be my rig for I think for Skinny Elvis and for Star City Syndicate.
• 1:26:18
  SPEAKER_10: I think until next time.
• 1:26:21
  SPEAKER_13: Yeah, until until I change it again.
• 1:26:24
  SPEAKER_10: Why am I gonna use this one?
• 1:26:25
  SPEAKER_10: Well, I mean it's nice to have that kind of uh that choice.
• 1:26:28
