- 1:17SPEAKER_05: You weren't obsessing over it.
- 1:18SPEAKER_05: I wasn't obsessing over it.
- 1:19SPEAKER_05: I I think I was just, and I I think I knew who the artist was, but I couldn't think of the name of the song.
- 1:25SPEAKER_05: I suppose I could have just looked up the artist, and I I was right about the artist, actually.
- 1:30SPEAKER_05: So my point is I guess I don't mind tributes.
- 1:38SPEAKER_05: You know, like one could say that Cole Swindell's and it's mostly country music that does it.
- 1:45SPEAKER_05: Uh Cole Swindell's uh song that we talked about, um Heads Carolina, Tales California, uh was a tribute to Jody Messina's song.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: I mean he included the song in the song.
- 1:57SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:57SPEAKER_05: He included the song in the song.
- 1:59SPEAKER_05: I mean it's the same chord progression, really.
- 2:02SPEAKER_05: I mean it's the same song.
- 2:03SPEAKER_05: They just rewrote the words.
- 2:05SPEAKER_05: And I mean there's Jake Owen did a song um that I don't know you could say it was j a tribute.

- 5:47SPEAKER_05: Um just bec I don't know.
- 5:51SPEAKER_05: I I don't I just don't like the song.
- 5:53SPEAKER_05: Just on general principle.
- 5:54SPEAKER_05: Just on general principle, right.
- 5:56SPEAKER_05: Um but I heard this song on vacation.
- 6:04SPEAKER_05: It came on the radio, and this is the one I was telling you about a couple episodes ago where where I just kind of freaked out, and my wife was like, What, what, what, what's wrong?
- 6:12SPEAKER_05: I said, Write your own stupid song, and she's like, Are you kidding me?
- 6:17SPEAKER_05: Right, right.
- 6:18SPEAKER_05: She did she did her typical uh yeah, you're an idiot.
- 6:21SPEAKER_05: Yeah, exactly.
- 6:22SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 6:22SPEAKER_05: Yeah, which I get all the time.
- 6:39SPEAKER_08: He's gonna Chevrolet that don't always run and the radio never turns down.
- 6:47SPEAKER_08: He's gonna greet That's no good for nothing, no commas in his bank account.
- 6:54SPEAKER_08: But there's a girl at the home animal to place.
- 7:00SPEAKER_08: Don't take her out on the state, she doesn't go to the land.
- 7:14SPEAKER_08: It's important now, we're in the party.
- 7:37SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 7:38SPEAKER_05: So that is um That's a song from the 80s.
- 7:41SPEAKER_05: No, it's from the 70s.
- 7:42SPEAKER_05: Oh it's David Bowie.
- 7:46SPEAKER_05: Oh, that's what it is.
- 7:47SPEAKER_05: It's Rebel Rebel.
- 7:48SPEAKER_05: I mean, the whole song is based around this riff.
- 7:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: I knew as soon as I heard that riff, I was like, I know that song.
- 7:57SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 7:57SPEAKER_05: And and and so as soon as I heard that on the radio, I'm like, are you kidding me?
- 8:05SPEAKER_00: I mean, you didn't have that begs the question.
- 8:08SPEAKER_00: Is country the new rap?
- 8:10SPEAKER_00: Well, if it's the new rap, but it's definitely I mean, you know, sampling other people's things.
- 8:15SPEAKER_00: Unoriginal.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 8:17SPEAKER_00: You know?
- 8:18SPEAKER_05: Um, you could that could have that song could have existed, I think, without this riff.
- 8:27SPEAKER_05: You could have written that song and and either had a different riff, or I mean, I know it's it's that old adage, that old record company adage where it's like, if it was a hit once, it can be a hit again.
- 8:40SPEAKER_05: You know, and it's you know it's bringing something familiar into something new so that people will like it.
- 8:46SPEAKER_05: You know, I'm against it.
- 8:48SPEAKER_00: I I yeah I but I wonder if it's like that Ed Sheeran thing that he just went through not too long ago when he used to be.
- 8:53SPEAKER_05: Well no, they obviously they had to get permission to use this.
- 8:56SPEAKER_05: I hope so.
- 8:57SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I will I'll obviously.
- 8:58SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say, because that Jake Owen one, you know, with the Jack and Diane.
- 9:01SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 9:02SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty sure that if he had taken it, John Mellencamp would have just like went up one side of him and down the other.
- 9:09SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 9:09SPEAKER_05: They had to go to the publisher and get permission to use it, obviously.
- 9:13SPEAKER_05: Um, but I don't know.
- 9:15SPEAKER_05: You know, it's it's just to me, it's like I know there's the the old saying that everything's been done.
- 9:21SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 9:22SPEAKER_05: I don't think that's true.
- 9:24SPEAKER_05: I mean, I think there's there's I mean, I think you can put your own spin on things without without and I'm not saying he's they stole the riff.
- 9:36SPEAKER_05: No.
- 9:37SPEAKER_05: I I think they put it in there for familiar familiarity purposes to boost the song.
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but it's it's it's it's for a new country.
- 9:48SPEAKER_00: I mean, they're not they haven't even listened to Bowie.
- 9:53SPEAKER_05: Well Chris Young is probably in his mid to late thirties.
- 9:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so he wouldn't know.
- 10:00SPEAKER_05: But he knows who Bowie is.
- 10:01SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm sure he does.
- 10:02SPEAKER_00: If he doesn't, then he shouldn't be in music.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: But you know.
- 10:06SPEAKER_05: But I think we we underestimate how far classic rock reaches.
- 10:10SPEAKER_05: I think you know what I mean?
- 10:12SPEAKER_05: I think even the young kids, because I mean, look at my kids.
- 10:15SPEAKER_05: My kids love the Beatles and they love all that old stuff.
- 10:18SPEAKER_05: You know, of course, I'm in the Star City Syndicate, so they Well, they're kind of forced into it.
- 10:25SPEAKER_00: You know, is it it's it's you know n it's not of their own volition.
- 10:30SPEAKER_00: True.
- 10:31SPEAKER_00: You know, you're you're you they're exposed to it because it's but it's played here.
- 10:35SPEAKER_05: But it's also not the not only is it played here, but marketing TV ads, they all use they use old music, right?
- 10:43SPEAKER_05: And and this generation is a Spotify generation.
- 10:47SPEAKER_00: So they're they're a look at um look at uh Rosemary uh wherever.
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: Love Girls from my Rosemary Girls.
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: I was on TikTok and everybody went lost their minds.
- 10:56SPEAKER_00: It's like, well that song's been around you know for Right, like 1974 or something like that, whatever.
- 11:02SPEAKER_00: But that uh uh remember that dude on the skateboard and Dreams?
- 11:07SPEAKER_00: Dreams, yeah, yeah.
- 11:08SPEAKER_00: Everybody was like, oh my god, and I'm like how do you you never heard this song?
- 11:12SPEAKER_05: Look at the popularity of the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtracks.
- 11:15SPEAKER_05: Oh, I know, yeah.
- 11:16SPEAKER_05: You know, that's all old stuff.
- 11:17SPEAKER_05: Well most of it.

- 11:21SPEAKER_05: You know, so uh I get I I get it.
- 11:26SPEAKER_05: Um you're bringing old and and and and and putting it into something new.
- 11:32SPEAKER_05: Maybe I'm just w what did what did you say the couple weeks ago?
- 11:34SPEAKER_05: You're the crotchetier.
- 11:37SPEAKER_05: I'm taking crotchety to hold the crotch, right?
- 11:40SPEAKER_05: Because I feel like a crotchety old man, but it's like as a songwriter, I'm like, I could have done without that.
- 11:46SPEAKER_00: I could have done it.
- 11:47SPEAKER_00: No, I get that.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: You know, I could have been you just write your own riff.
- 11:51SPEAKER_00: Well, maybe that's what you should do from Rowan.
- 11:52SPEAKER_00: Just take riffs and just write songs right now.
- 11:55SPEAKER_00: Just sample all old songs and put new words on them.
- 11:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: And then it'll be and you'll be huge.
- 12:01SPEAKER_05: Yeah.

- 12:20SPEAKER_00: Um I want to talk that wasn't really my idea, but well, we'll we'll get to that.
- 12:24SPEAKER_05: I want to talk about uh I don't want to talk about that.
- 12:27SPEAKER_05: The late great The Late Great Bernie Marsden.
- 12:32SPEAKER_05: I don't know if you know who Bernie Marsden was.
- 12:34SPEAKER_05: I know the name, I don't really know Bernie Marsden was the original guitar player uh and songwriter for Whitesnake.
- 12:39SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
- 12:40SPEAKER_00: Um I was talking about that the other day.
- 12:42SPEAKER_05: You were?
- 12:42SPEAKER_00: Well, it was the same guy.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: He goes Oh.
- 12:45SPEAKER_00: He goes, the the guitar player from Whitesnake died, and I went Doug Aldridge?
- 12:51unknown: Right.
- 12:52SPEAKER_05: There's a man's guitar players for White Snake.
- 12:54SPEAKER_00: No, I don't I don't think that's his name, and then I had to look it up and I was like, oh.
- 12:57SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 12:58SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 12:58SPEAKER_00: That guy.
- 12:59SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that guy.
- 13:00SPEAKER_05: Well, we had uh so you know, let's see, when you say when I say Whitesnake, you think of probably this.
- 13:11SPEAKER_00: Now is this the the the original version or is this the remixed version that came out later?
- 13:17SPEAKER_00: There's two remixed versions.
- 13:19SPEAKER_05: So this is from the 87 album.
- 13:21SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 13:21SPEAKER_05: This has Adrian Vandenberg on it.
- 13:24SPEAKER_05: No, it doesn't.
- 13:25SPEAKER_05: Yes, it does.
- 13:26SPEAKER_05: No, it doesn't.
- 13:27SPEAKER_05: It has John Sykes on guitar.
- 13:30SPEAKER_05: Um this is the this is the one that everybody plays.
- 13:32SPEAKER_00: This is the one everybody plays.
- 13:33SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 13:34SPEAKER_00: And then there's you have the original, the original, the 83 version?
- 13:37SPEAKER_00: Hold on a second.
- 13:38SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
- 13:39SPEAKER_00: I got a thing here.
- 13:40SPEAKER_05: So they redid this.
- 13:41SPEAKER_05: I'm doing a thing here.
- 13:43SPEAKER_05: Adrian Vandenberg, Vivian Campbell, the band that was touring with him.
- 13:47SPEAKER_05: They did another version, which is a little different than this.
- 13:50SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 13:51SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 13:52SPEAKER_05: But what a lot of people don't know, and and thank you for jumping ahead, is uh Well, I didn't know where you were going.
- 13:58SPEAKER_05: This is this I just anticipated.
- 14:00SPEAKER_05: This is the original from 1982 from the Saints and Sinners album.
- 14:06SPEAKER_05: Whole different lineup of Whitesnake, Bernie Marsden on guitar.
- 14:09SPEAKER_05: Bernie Marsden actually helped write this song.
- 14:12SPEAKER_09: I don't know where I'm going.
- 14:14SPEAKER_05: And it's not like a drifter, it's like a hobo.
- 14:17SPEAKER_05: Did you know that?
- 14:17SPEAKER_09: But I sure know where I'm gonna be.
- 14:19SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I think I think so.
- 14:23SPEAKER_05: Let's just listen to it for just a second.
- 14:27SPEAKER_05: It's not as bombastic, obviously, as the 87 version.
- 14:30SPEAKER_05: It's more like the church lady's about to come out.
- 14:32SPEAKER_05: Well, it's m I think it's more bluesy.
- 14:34SPEAKER_05: You know, because Bernie Marston was a bluesy player.
- 14:37SPEAKER_00: Well, this this organ part.
- 14:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's true.
- 14:41SPEAKER_00: Could it be Satan?
- 14:52SPEAKER_05: Oh, speaking of uh we weren't speaking of this, but David Coverdale on vocals, right?
- 14:57SPEAKER_05: So our our friend who's not really our friend.
- 15:01SPEAKER_05: We we love him to hate we love to hate him, Eddie Trunk.
- 15:04SPEAKER_05: Oh, Eddie.
- 15:05SPEAKER_05: How is Eddie?
- 15:06SPEAKER_05: I listened to one of his episodes the other day, and he's just a crotchy little man, just like you and I.
- 15:13SPEAKER_05: And I'll tell you why here in a second.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: That's that's that's the way it is.
- 15:16SPEAKER_05: He's about ten years older than we are, but hold on.
- 15:27SPEAKER_05: I don't know why.
- 15:28SPEAKER_05: I almost like this version better.
- 15:29SPEAKER_00: I I was just gonna say I like this one better.
- 15:32SPEAKER_00: Like a hobo.
- 15:45SPEAKER_05: So um, I'll get to the Eddie Trunk here thing here in a second.
- 15:50SPEAKER_05: So you also know this song.
- 15:57SPEAKER_09: Old Wednesday's burning with the fingers from 1987.
- 16:02SPEAKER_05: Yeah, the um 87 album.
- 16:07SPEAKER_07: I will go with the stop review stop.
- 16:23SPEAKER_05: Did you know that was a cover as well?
- 16:26SPEAKER_05: From that same album.
- 16:27SPEAKER_05: From David Coverdale.
- 16:30SPEAKER_05: Uh oh, I'm sorry.

- 16:40SPEAKER_05: This is the original.
- 16:42SPEAKER_05: Crying in the rain.
- 16:44SPEAKER_05: Again, very bluesy.
- 16:55SPEAKER_09: Black Cotton Moes when he's burning with a fever.
- 17:01SPEAKER_09: Straight of the balls when he's lonely in the night.
- 17:23SPEAKER_05: I mean, I don't know which version I like better.
- 17:26SPEAKER_05: I know, that's the thing.
- 17:31SPEAKER_05: This is another Bernie Marson too.
- 17:33SPEAKER_05: Ready and Willie.
- 17:36SPEAKER_05: When they when when it was Bernie Marison and Cozy Powell on drums uh and that whole lineup, it was very bluesy.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 17:44SPEAKER_05: You know, very um, I don't know.
- 17:48SPEAKER_05: So then the the 80s, the late 80s came and it was very slick and very positive.

- 19:17SPEAKER_00: You were wearing your uh Montana, Joe Montana, and I was wearing my Dante Hightower jersey.
- 19:26SPEAKER_00: Well, I we over the weekend, there's a series called NFL Icons.
- 19:32SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 19:32SPEAKER_00: And I was watching the Jerry Rice one.
- 19:35SPEAKER_00: Right.

- 19:44SPEAKER_05: I did not know that.
- 19:45SPEAKER_00: Absolutely horrid.
- 19:46SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 19:48SPEAKER_00: Drop passes everywhere.
- 19:50SPEAKER_00: Okay?
- 19:51SPEAKER_00: All the time.

- 19:52SPEAKER_00: Joe Montana did nothing but encourage him.
- 19:57SPEAKER_00: Didn't didn't duberate him, didn't, you know, every time he dropped a pass, he wasn't like, ah, yeah, yeah.
- 20:02SPEAKER_05: That doesn't surprise me.
- 20:03SPEAKER_00: Every time he was like, dude, you know, you this is what you need to do.
- 20:07SPEAKER_00: Then he got then he became the Jerry Rice that we all know and love and holds all the all the records for receiving an AFL.
- 20:15SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 20:16SPEAKER_00: And will for eternity.
- 20:17SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 20:18SPEAKER_00: But what I was watching was after that, he worked so hard on his catching.
- 20:26SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you'll notice this.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: But if you ever watch like reruns of, you know, like replays of Jerry Rice catching, every time he catches the ball, he catches the ball, he looks at it, he brings it into his chest, and he looks at it, and then he runs.
- 20:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, okay.
- 20:43SPEAKER_00: That's because that's after his that first horrible season, his rookie season, that is what he did.
- 20:48SPEAKER_00: He every time he caught the ball, he would bring it down his chest, look at it, and then do anything else.
- 20:53SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 20:54SPEAKER_00: But that was his every time.
- 20:56SPEAKER_00: And it was really funny because I was watching uh he was at a Super Bowl.

- 21:02SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 21:03SPEAKER_00: And he had one of the quarterbacks from and he I mean, the dude's been retired for years.

- 21:10SPEAKER_00: Caught the ball, looked, you know, brought it into his chest, looked at it, and then, you know, did everything else.
- 21:16SPEAKER_00: So, I mean, that's just secure the ball.
- 21:19SPEAKER_00: Yeah, every every but every if you watch Jerry Rice after that, after his rookie season, he catches the ball, brings it into his chest, looks at it, and then you know, everything else.
- 21:29SPEAKER_00: Every single time.
- 21:32SPEAKER_00: That is single-minded focusedness.
- 21:35SPEAKER_00: And I'm not sure focusedness is a word.
- 21:37SPEAKER_00: I don't think so, but that's but I like it.
- 21:39SPEAKER_00: That's that's my word for you, Jerry.
- 21:41SPEAKER_00: Single-minded focus.
- 21:43SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 21:43SPEAKER_00: It was just it's just amazing.

- 28:17SPEAKER_05: Everybody put their put their own.

- 29:17SPEAKER_05: It is subjective.

- 29:55SPEAKER_06: I can see you.
- 29:56SPEAKER_00: Billboard needs to have people that actually have, you know, musical taste working there.
- 30:02SPEAKER_05: You would think.
- 30:04SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 30:04SPEAKER_00: But who did they ask?
- 30:06SPEAKER_05: Varied music.
- 30:07SPEAKER_00: Who did they ask?

- 35:27SPEAKER_10: If we don't find the wings, then we're the village in the bomb.
- 35:39SPEAKER_00: It's very 80s.
- 35:41SPEAKER_00: It's i i I was just gonna say, it's like it's like he's embracing it.
- 35:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's like he's like, you know, I missed out on all the electronic of the 80s.
- 35:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 35:50SPEAKER_00: Because I was a guitar guy.
- 35:51SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go back and redo it.
- 35:53SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 35:56SPEAKER_05: I mean, it's like very depeche modey.
- 35:58SPEAKER_05: It is.
- 35:59SPEAKER_05: Uh I really love the the song titles.
- 36:04SPEAKER_05: This one's called In Case of Fire Break Glass.
- 36:08SPEAKER_00: Well, we we were gonna have it, we had an album we were gonna call uh Case of Fire Pointed Base of Fire Pull trigger pointed base of the flame.
- 36:16SPEAKER_00: Instructions from a fire extinguisher.
- 36:17SPEAKER_05: What was it?
- 36:17SPEAKER_05: Point uh hold upright a name with the flame.
- 36:19SPEAKER_05: Hey you know, hold upright name with the flame.
- 36:21SPEAKER_10: Justin Silent, an invisible girl, but lately the world has turned.
- 36:36SPEAKER_05: It's very, very toe eighties, man.
- 36:39SPEAKER_10: I mean, this guy is like 71, 72 years old.
- 36:47SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's up there, man.
- 36:55SPEAKER_00: It's very 80s.
- 36:56SPEAKER_00: So 80s, dude.
- 36:57SPEAKER_00: It's like all but it's all drides up and it's ear candy.
- 37:00SPEAKER_00: Oh, it is ear candy, huh?
- 37:03SPEAKER_00: He must be just having fun.
- 37:06SPEAKER_00: Because the last couple of albums have been kinda people on the heavier dark side.
- 37:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 37:11SPEAKER_00: So this is kinda this is kind of a nice change in this.
- 37:26SPEAKER_10: I just said out loud.
- 37:34SPEAKER_10: I'm bursting at the stream.
- 37:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is like off the foot loop sound traffic, man.
- 37:52SPEAKER_05: But somehow still still relevant.
- 37:55SPEAKER_05: Still Rick Screenfield.
- 37:57SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 38:03SPEAKER_05: But you know, you say he didn't do this stuff back when back in not as much.
- 38:10SPEAKER_05: True.
- 38:11SPEAKER_05: But I mean think about like I'm looking I'm looking back here.
- 38:17SPEAKER_05: Think about this one.
- 38:27SPEAKER_05: That's like from mid the early to mid eighties.
- 38:29SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 38:33SPEAKER_00: This this would fit perfectly on the new album.
- 38:35SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
- 38:36SPEAKER_00: Nobody nobody would even bat an eye.
- 38:38SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 38:38SPEAKER_05: Um, I wanted to play this one.
- 38:40SPEAKER_05: Uh uh.
- 38:41SPEAKER_05: Because I just I'm just going off the title.
- 38:43SPEAKER_05: When God forgets my name.
- 38:47SPEAKER_05: Oh, here's his here's his reggae.
- 38:49SPEAKER_05: He always has like a reggae type song.
- 38:52SPEAKER_10: Wake up feeling somehow, just to stay on this.
- 38:56SPEAKER_10: And I'm always looking for somehow else to play.
- 38:59SPEAKER_10: God's nothing strange, but somehow it's never staying up to stay like a little bit of a lot of people.
- 39:44SPEAKER_05: Interesting.
- 39:45SPEAKER_05: He's always had a very dark side.
- 39:47SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 39:48SPEAKER_05: Because he I mean he suffers from depression, he has for a long time.
- 39:51SPEAKER_05: I I mean, if you've read his memoir, I mean he was a horndog.
- 39:54SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 39:55SPEAKER_05: And um it like to a fault.
- 39:58SPEAKER_05: Um there's a song on here called Heroes.
- 40:01SPEAKER_05: I'm curious if it's the David Bowie Heroes if he cut if he covered it.
- 40:05SPEAKER_05: Doesn't sound like it.
- 40:19SPEAKER_10: Transmission's mission turned the page.
- 40:25SPEAKER_05: I don't think so either, but I dig it.
- 40:27SPEAKER_05: I I don't know.
- 40:27SPEAKER_00: It's actually pretty good.
- 40:28SPEAKER_00: I'll probably get it at some point.
- 40:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 40:33SPEAKER_05: Anyway, I just I I wanted to preview that.
- 40:36SPEAKER_05: I hadn't heard any of it.
- 40:37SPEAKER_05: I I purchased it, I think I purchased it earlier today.
- 40:41SPEAKER_05: And download it or just the I downloaded it.
- 40:44SPEAKER_05: Yeah, download it.
- 40:45SPEAKER_05: Because if I I I wish I could have yeah.
- 40:47SPEAKER_05: I I'm one of those guys that likes to look at the liner notes.
- 40:49SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 40:50SPEAKER_05: And it really, really bothers me that we can't do that anymore.
- 40:52SPEAKER_05: Um but it's a brave new world.
- 40:55SPEAKER_05: It is a brave new world.
- 40:56SPEAKER_05: Run by Billboard.
- 40:57SPEAKER_05: So so there you go.
- 41:00SPEAKER_05: Um speaking of the 80s.
- 41:02SPEAKER_05: Rick Speedfield wasn't on that list either.
- 41:05SPEAKER_05: I wouldn't consider him one of the greatest singers.
- 41:07SPEAKER_05: No, but he should have been somewhere.
- 41:09SPEAKER_05: I always thought he was a great artist.
- 41:11SPEAKER_05: Um but to have uh to have no um to have no Sammy Hagar on that list kind of bogbles the mind.
- 41:25SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 41:27SPEAKER_00: Yep, that's that's that's perfect.
- 41:29SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 41:31SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 41:32SPEAKER_05: So speaking of speaking of idiots, you had a conversation.
- 41:37SPEAKER_00: So I was at work Saturday morning, and uh of course it's Saturday morning and I always get a little loopy because it's O Dark Hundred and Right.
- 41:47SPEAKER_00: I tend to be a little goosey-goosey.
- 41:49SPEAKER_00: So it's just me and the other guy.
- 41:52SPEAKER_00: And uh he he's about ten years older than I am.
- 41:55SPEAKER_00: But he he likes eighties stuff.
- 41:57SPEAKER_00: So what I do is when I get in there, I uh put my phone on Sirius XM and I play 80s on eight.
- 42:04SPEAKER_00: So we jam out, you know, and we're talking about stuff.
- 42:06SPEAKER_00: And uh whammy came on.
- 42:09unknown: Okay.
- 42:10SPEAKER_00: Wait me up.
- 42:10SPEAKER_00: Before you go.
- 42:12SPEAKER_00: That song came on.
- 42:13SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 42:14SPEAKER_00: And uh he stopped dead in his tracks and he goes, What happened to the other guy?
- 42:20SPEAKER_00: I was like, Andrew Wrigley?
- 42:22SPEAKER_00: Ridgly.
- 42:23SPEAKER_05: Ridgly, yep.
- 42:24SPEAKER_00: He goes, Yeah, the guy that wasn't George Michael.
- 42:27SPEAKER_00: And I said, I don't know.
- 42:29SPEAKER_00: He said, You should talk about that on your podcast.
- 42:33SPEAKER_00: And I went, you know, that is probably a good point.
- 42:37SPEAKER_00: That is a good point.
- 42:38SPEAKER_00: So I don't and I was like, and so the right, like like later that day, you know, I was you know, we had a gig and I was like, whatever happened to the guy from other guy from Wham.
- 42:48SPEAKER_00: And you were like, I don't know.
- 42:51SPEAKER_00: So it's like it's like the great mystery of like what happened to Andrew Ridgely.
- 42:55SPEAKER_05: Well, uh I'm going strictly off Wikipedia here, which is you know his gospel.
- 43:00SPEAKER_05: Oh, of course.
- 43:01SPEAKER_05: Uh it says post Wham, shortly after Wham broke up, and they broke up because George Michael went solo and he was huge.
- 43:09SPEAKER_05: Shortly after the breakup, Andrew Ridgley moved to Monaco and tried his hand at Formula Three motor racing.
- 43:15SPEAKER_05: Really?
- 43:15SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 43:16SPEAKER_05: Meeting with little success, he moved to Los Angeles in pursuit of an acting career.
- 43:21SPEAKER_05: He returned to Britain permanently in 1990.
- 43:23SPEAKER_05: So apparently his acting career didn't take off either.
- 43:27SPEAKER_05: Um CBS Records, later Sony Music, having taken up the option on Wham's contract, specified solo albums from Michael and Ridge Ridgeley released a guitar and drum-driven solo recording from Ridgely called Son of Albert in uh 1990.
- 43:43SPEAKER_05: Uh let's see.
- 43:44SPEAKER_05: His brother Paul, an occasional percussionist for Banana Rama, played drums on the album.
- 43:49SPEAKER_05: Um just I don't care who else played on the album.
- 43:51SPEAKER_05: Let's see.
- 43:52SPEAKER_05: The Son of Albert sold poorly, failing to make the top seventy five in the UK.
- 43:56SPEAKER_05: Was also one of the worst received albums of nineteen ninety among critics.
- 44:00SPEAKER_05: Achieving only half a star in a savage Rolling Stone magazine review.
- 44:05SPEAKER_05: Just nobody cares what Rolling Stone says, just so you say, just so you know.
- 44:11SPEAKER_00: I bet uh Billboard gave it like a number one ring.
- 44:14SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 44:15SPEAKER_05: As a result, CBS passed up the option of a second album.
- 44:18SPEAKER_05: Ridgly Lady said, or later said, it was disappointing and depressing to receive quite such a beating over that album.
- 44:25SPEAKER_05: In January of 91, he joined George Michael on stage for a few songs.
- 44:31SPEAKER_05: Let's see, since 91, Ridgely has generally shunned publicity, but he did agree to give an on-camera interview for the first time since the split in 2005 documentary, a different story about the life of George Michael.
- 44:42SPEAKER_05: He appeared as a guest, a studio guest on the first series of BBC Two program Fantasy Football League in 1994.
- 44:48SPEAKER_05: Ridgely and Michael made plans to reunite as Wham for Live 8 in 2005, but Ridgeley reportedly pulled out at the last minute.
- 44:56SPEAKER_05: In 2012, Michael dismissed rumors that they were set for a reunion to mark the 30th anniversary of their first record.
- 45:01SPEAKER_05: George Michael said that there was no truth in speculation the group would reform for a one-off concert.
- 45:06SPEAKER_05: Upon hearing of George Michael's death in 2016, Bridgely paid his respects on Twitter saying, Heartbroken at the loss of my beloved friend Yog.
- 45:17SPEAKER_05: He performed a cameo role in Last Christmas, a 2019 film that featured many songs by Wham.
- 45:26SPEAKER_05: Says there's a long list of charitable work, but I don't know that he's done much.
- 45:30SPEAKER_05: Doesn't sound like it.
- 45:32SPEAKER_00: Sound like he just kind of nosedived after Wham broke up.
- 45:36SPEAKER_05: In 2019, he released um his memoir, Wham, George, and me.
- 45:42SPEAKER_05: So he's been living in George Michael's shadow, basically.
- 45:45SPEAKER_00: Well, obviously, because without him he was nothing.
- 45:48SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 45:48SPEAKER_05: So seemingly.
- 45:50SPEAKER_05: Seemingly, yeah.
- 45:51SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 45:51SPEAKER_05: So that's that's a shame.
- 45:53SPEAKER_05: Um I would imagine he's I mean, they still play Wham all the time, right?
- 45:58SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm sure he's living comfortably off the royalties.
- 46:01SPEAKER_00: I think so too.
- 46:02SPEAKER_00: So Yeah.
- 46:02SPEAKER_00: I mean, they only had how many albums did Wham have?
- 46:05SPEAKER_05: Uh let's see three.
- 46:08SPEAKER_05: Three?
- 46:08SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 46:09SPEAKER_05: Fantastic in 1983, Make It Big in 84, which was the big one.
- 46:12SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 46:13SPEAKER_05: Uh Music from the Edge of Heaven in 86, so they had three albums.
- 46:17SPEAKER_05: And then George Michael became a superstar.
- 46:20SPEAKER_05: Superstar.
- 46:21SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 46:22SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
- 46:23SPEAKER_00: So okay, well, that answers that.
- 46:25SPEAKER_00: That answers that.
- 46:26SPEAKER_00: So he's still alive.
- 46:27SPEAKER_00: He is still alive.
- 46:28SPEAKER_00: Okay, well, that's good news.
- 46:29SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 46:31SPEAKER_05: Um that got me thinking.
- 46:34SPEAKER_05: When you brought that up, that got me thinking, uh, who who else could we Well, I was thinking about the the surviving member of Millie Vanilli.
- 46:42SPEAKER_05: Right, because because the other guy, um, I don't remember committed suicide.
- 46:48SPEAKER_00: He did.
- 46:48SPEAKER_00: What was his name?
- 46:49SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't remember.
- 46:53SPEAKER_05: Let's see, let's see, hold on.
- 46:57SPEAKER_05: Pilatus.
- 46:58SPEAKER_05: Rob Pilatus.
- 46:59SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 47:00SPEAKER_05: No, wait.
- 47:01SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 47:01SPEAKER_05: Rob Pilatus was the one that killed himself.
- 47:04SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 47:04SPEAKER_05: Who was the other guy?
- 47:05SPEAKER_05: The surviving member is Fabrice Maxim Sylvain Morvan.
- 47:10SPEAKER_05: Or Fab.
- 47:11SPEAKER_05: They called him Fab Fab Morvan.
- 47:14SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 47:15SPEAKER_05: Um We all know the history of Millie Vanilli.
- 47:18SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 47:19SPEAKER_05: Um, how they were caught lip syncing and they didn't really sing on their records.
- 47:23SPEAKER_05: And then they did try and do an album where they actually did sing.
- 47:27SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 47:27SPEAKER_00: And it was not good.
- 47:30SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 47:30SPEAKER_05: Uh let's see.
- 47:34SPEAKER_05: They released an eponymous Robin Fabble around 2000.
- 47:37SPEAKER_05: Oh my goodness.
- 47:38SPEAKER_05: Okay, so this is the aftermath of the lip-syncing thing.
- 47:41SPEAKER_05: Uh, months later, they parodied parodied the scandal in a commercial for carry-free sugarless gum.
- 47:47SPEAKER_05: They began to lip sync to an opera recording.
- 47:49SPEAKER_05: An announcer asked as they were lip syncing, How long does the taste of carefree sugarless gum last?
- 47:54SPEAKER_05: The record then began to skip, and the announcer answers, until these guys sing for themselves.
- 47:59SPEAKER_05: Oh my goodness.
- 48:00SPEAKER_05: Ouch.
- 48:01SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 48:01SPEAKER_05: But they were in the commercial, so they were obviously.
- 48:03SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm certainly they, you know, kind of poke fun at themselves.
- 48:05SPEAKER_05: Well, then they moved to LA where they released that album, Rob and Fab, which was their their them actually singing.
- 48:12SPEAKER_05: It only sold around 2,000 copies.
- 48:16SPEAKER_00: 2,000?
- 48:17SPEAKER_00: 2,000.
- 48:17SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 48:18SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 48:19SPEAKER_05: Um Rob later served three months in jail for assault, vandalism, and attempted robbery.
- 48:24SPEAKER_05: Spent six six months on drug rehab before returning to Germany.
- 48:27SPEAKER_05: Uh later to die in a 1998 drug overdose at the age of 32.
- 48:32SPEAKER_05: But as we I think it was a purposely purposeful drug overdose.
- 48:37SPEAKER_05: So let's see.
- 48:39SPEAKER_05: Morvan spent several years as a session musician and public speaker.
- 48:43SPEAKER_05: It's kind of ironic.
- 48:45SPEAKER_00: That's uh funny.
- 48:46SPEAKER_05: In ninety-eight, he was hired as a radio DJ at LA Radio Station Kiss FM.
- 48:50SPEAKER_05: During this time, he also performed at the station sold-out 99 Wango Tango concert before 50,000 people at Dodger Stadium.

- 50:54SPEAKER_05: Uh, in 2012, he appeared on the song that changed my life.
- 50:57SPEAKER_05: I'm not going to go into too much detail here.
- 51:00SPEAKER_05: Uh so in 2018 he joined fellow musician Steve Hogarth of Marillion, presenting an unveiling of a sculpture in tribute to David Boyd.

- 51:37SPEAKER_05: They're about positive thinking and challenging people's ideas.
- 51:40SPEAKER_05: It wasn't fashionable.
- 51:41SPEAKER_05: I never got good reviews, but I'm proud of the fact that I wasn't liked by the media.
- 51:45SPEAKER_05: Pop music is so reactionary and bigoted, and I found that what's cool is often very shallow and transient.

- 55:00SPEAKER_00: To a new level of by enlisting.
- 55:02SPEAKER_00: Glam metal?
- 55:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you don't remember that, man?
- 55:04SPEAKER_00: No.
- 55:05SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, dude.
- 55:05SPEAKER_00: It was crazy.
- 55:07SPEAKER_00: To a new level by enlisting the deep growl of Phil and Salmo.
- 55:11SPEAKER_00: It was before Phil.
- 55:13SPEAKER_00: Brutal and Raw, Pantera demonstrated a vulgar vulgar display of power.
- 55:20SPEAKER_00: Um that inspired a new generation of groove metal bands like Corn and Lamb of God before breaking up in 2003.
- 55:28SPEAKER_00: It's kind of a short uh thing about Pantera.
- 55:33SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 55:33SPEAKER_05: And of course the legendary Dimebag.
- 55:35SPEAKER_05: Dimebag.
- 55:36SPEAKER_05: That whole story.
- 55:37SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 55:37SPEAKER_05: Yeah, the whole story where Dimebag was was shot on stage.

- 55:41SPEAKER_05: And with damage plan.
- 55:42SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 55:43SPEAKER_05: Uh Pantera on tour right now.

- 55:52SPEAKER_00: That's crazy.
- 55:52SPEAKER_00: I bet you that's a good show.
- 55:54SPEAKER_00: I bet that's a great show.
- 55:55SPEAKER_00: I bet that's really great.
- 55:56SPEAKER_05: So I had to just look up Pantera.
- 56:00SPEAKER_05: I I went on YouTube and I said Pantera 80s Glam.
- 56:04SPEAKER_05: Because I don't remember this era.
- 56:05SPEAKER_05: So I it brought this song up.
- 56:07SPEAKER_05: No, nobody does.
- 56:07SPEAKER_05: It brought this song up.
- 56:09SPEAKER_05: Because Yeah, this doesn't sound like Pantera.
- 56:26SPEAKER_05: So this is time back?
- 56:29SPEAKER_05: Got it.
- 56:40SPEAKER_05: This is the kind of stuff I was listening to back then.
- 56:42SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 56:44SPEAKER_05: No idea.
- 56:45SPEAKER_05: No, it's definitely not Phil.
- 56:46SPEAKER_05: No idea who the singer is?
- 56:48SPEAKER_05: No idea.
- 56:54SPEAKER_00: Nobody talked about Pantera prior to Phil.
- 56:58SPEAKER_05: That's true.
- 56:59SPEAKER_05: Because I never knew I never even knew this existed.
- 57:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, everybody assumes that Cowboys from Hell was the very first Pantera album.
- 57:09SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
- 57:11SPEAKER_00: I think there there was stuff before that.
- 57:13SPEAKER_05: Interesting.
- 57:14SPEAKER_00: Very interesting.
- 57:15SPEAKER_00: But nobody talks about it.
- 57:16SPEAKER_00: But it is one of the best shows I've ever seen.
- 57:19SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you said that.
- 57:20SPEAKER_00: Oh man, they were just, and this was like, this was vulgar display of power era, and it was just off the hook.
- 57:27SPEAKER_00: I mean, you were just like the whole time.
- 57:30SPEAKER_00: It was just amazing.
- 57:31SPEAKER_00: The power and just just ferocity of those guys.
- 57:35SPEAKER_04: Wow.
- 57:36SPEAKER_00: It was amazing.
- 57:37SPEAKER_00: It was such a good.
- 57:38SPEAKER_00: And of course, they were on Twitter.
- 57:40SPEAKER_00: They opened for White Zombie.
- 57:42SPEAKER_00: And White Zombie got on, and it was just like, it was such a letdown.
- 57:45SPEAKER_05: Really?
- 57:46SPEAKER_00: It was so bad.
- 57:47SPEAKER_00: Everybody was just like, ah, you know, because Pantera just kicked White Zombie.
- 57:54SPEAKER_05: White Zombie at that time was very electronic, wasn't it?
- 57:57SPEAKER_05: It was heavy.
- 57:59SPEAKER_00: It was the industrial metal.
- 58:01SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 58:01SPEAKER_00: You know?
- 58:02SPEAKER_00: But I mean it's it sounds better on record than it does live.
- 58:06SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I bet it does.
- 58:07SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 58:07SPEAKER_00: So and Pantera was just just killing.
- 58:11SPEAKER_00: I mean, just killed everybody.
- 58:13SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 58:14SPEAKER_00: It was awesome.
- 58:15SPEAKER_00: One of the easily one of the best shows I've ever seen.
- 58:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 58:18SPEAKER_00: So but anyway, I digress.
- 58:22unknown: All right.
- 58:22SPEAKER_05: Well, there you go.
- 58:24SPEAKER_00: I'm just glad Billboard wasn't there.

- 1:05:44SPEAKER_05: And I don't know if we've done this album before.

- 1:05:48SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 1:05:49SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 1:05:49SPEAKER_05: I think uh I seem to think we've talked about them, and we may even have talked about this album, but Okay.
- 1:05:56SPEAKER_00: Um Well what you want.
- 1:06:03SPEAKER_05: Uh let's see.
- 1:06:05SPEAKER_05: Um I think they're based in Florida.
- 1:06:10SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I think you so you would call them a kind of a Southern Rock.
- 1:06:20SPEAKER_00: Is it right?
- 1:06:21SPEAKER_00: It is 38 Special.
- 1:06:22SPEAKER_00: Dude, I was just listening to the 38 special when I got here.
- 1:06:25SPEAKER_00: Really?
- 1:06:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:06:25SPEAKER_00: It was on the 80s on the 80s on eight.
- 1:06:29SPEAKER_05: So I was right.
- 1:06:30SPEAKER_05: I mean the one's most popular decade was probably the 80s.
- 1:06:32SPEAKER_00: I would agree, I would agree with that.
- 1:06:33SPEAKER_05: Uh the album though.
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_05: Have we talked about this?
- 1:06:39SPEAKER_00: Bone Again Steel?
- 1:06:41SPEAKER_00: No?
- 1:06:42SPEAKER_00: Not that I were.
- 1:06:43SPEAKER_05: Okay, I don't even know if we've talked about Yeah, look in there and see if we've talked about 38 Special because I've always loved 38 Special.
- 1:06:52SPEAKER_05: Just you know, the songs that they have on the radio, they higher because they play the same ones over and over.
- 1:07:00SPEAKER_05: Hold on Loosely is a great song.
- 1:07:03SPEAKER_00: That's exactly the one I was looking to.
- 1:07:05SPEAKER_05: It's a great song, but radio just killed it, in my opinion.
- 1:07:13SPEAKER_05: Um matter of fact, it's funny because I have uh in addition to this album, I have the very best of the AM years, and I don't have Hold On Loosely in there on purpose.
- 1:07:24SPEAKER_05: Uh I liked it, I love the song, but it just got overplayed as well as this one.
- 1:07:30SPEAKER_00: I love this song.
- 1:07:31SPEAKER_05: I do too.
- 1:07:33SPEAKER_05: So, and I will tell you this though, if 38 Special comes on the radio, I do not turn the channel.
- 1:07:38unknown: Let's go.
- 1:07:41SPEAKER_05: So this is from never done 38 Special.
- 1:07:43SPEAKER_05: Okay, good.

- 1:10:22SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 1:10:23SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 1:10:23SPEAKER_05: The guy that they had most of the hits with is the guy with the the close-up beard.
- 1:10:28SPEAKER_05: His name is Don Barnes.
- 1:10:29SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 1:10:30SPEAKER_05: Donnie Van Zant is who you're thinking of.
- 1:10:32SPEAKER_05: And he is the cousin to Ronnie and Johnny Van Zant from Rainard Skinner.
- 1:10:38SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 1:10:38SPEAKER_05: I believe he's their cousin.
- 1:10:39SPEAKER_05: Or their cousin.
- 1:10:41SPEAKER_05: No, he's got to be their cousin.
- 1:10:42SPEAKER_05: I'm pretty sure.
- 1:10:44SPEAKER_00: And he did sing on a bunch of 38 special songs, but like when you listen to serious, you know, usually, you know, like the artists have like a picture.
- 1:10:53SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 1:10:53SPEAKER_00: Well, it was just that guy.
- 1:10:55SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:10:55SPEAKER_00: And I was like.
- 1:10:56SPEAKER_05: Well, here's the thing.
- 1:10:57SPEAKER_00: So I'm pretty sure there was more than one guy in a band.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:11:01SPEAKER_05: So let me uh remember this one?
- 1:11:03SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 1:11:04SPEAKER_05: Teacher Teacher.
- 1:11:05SPEAKER_05: Yes, I love this song.
- 1:11:06SPEAKER_05: From the movie uh Teachers with Nick Nolte.
- 1:11:09SPEAKER_00: Oh, I didn't know it was from a movie.
- 1:11:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:11:11SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:11:12SPEAKER_00: But I do know a song.
- 1:11:14SPEAKER_11: Just win the bottom.
- 1:11:19SPEAKER_05: It's just like it's, I mean, it's catchy.
- 1:11:21SPEAKER_05: It's kind of pop rock.
- 1:11:22SPEAKER_05: Yeah, kinda.
- 1:11:23SPEAKER_05: You know.
- 1:11:25SPEAKER_05: But a lot of hit.
- 1:11:44SPEAKER_05: Great, great song.
- 1:11:45SPEAKER_05: Um, and then there's this, which is back where you belong.
- 1:11:49SPEAKER_05: Why don't you back where you belong?
- 1:11:51SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 1:11:51SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 1:11:52SPEAKER_05: You heard this one.
- 1:11:54SPEAKER_05: What if I'd been the one?
- 1:11:57SPEAKER_00: Have I?
- 1:11:58SPEAKER_05: I know you have.
- 1:12:08SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah.
- 1:12:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:12:11SPEAKER_05: I'm gonna.
- 1:12:12SPEAKER_00: I guess there's another one I didn't realize was 38 Special.
- 1:12:15SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 1:12:17SPEAKER_05: So here's the thing.
- 1:12:21SPEAKER_05: Don Barnes left 38 Special.
- 1:12:24SPEAKER_05: The lead singer.
- 1:12:25SPEAKER_05: The one of the lead singers.
- 1:12:27SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:12:27SPEAKER_05: Uh the one that had most of the Oh, I guess Donnie Van Zent is the younger brother of Ronnie.
- 1:12:34SPEAKER_05: Uh Van Zan.
- 1:12:37SPEAKER_05: So I'm trying to think of when Don Barnes left.
- 1:12:52SPEAKER_05: Okay, here he is.
- 1:12:53SPEAKER_05: In 87.
- 1:12:55SPEAKER_05: 1987, Don Barnes decided to leave the band to go out on his own.
- 1:13:00SPEAKER_05: He recorded an album called Ride the Storm, which, though slated for release in 1989, was shelved after AM Records was sold and was not released until 2017.
- 1:13:11SPEAKER_05: 28 years later.
- 1:13:13SPEAKER_05: So they the group moved on.
- 1:13:17SPEAKER_05: And you know, it's one of those replace the guy that had most of the hits.
- 1:13:22SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:13:23SPEAKER_05: Uh, which is difficult to do.
- 1:13:25SPEAKER_05: Well, so they replaced him with a guy named Max Carl.
- 1:13:32SPEAKER_05: And they had a, I think, a number one hit with this song, Second Chance.
- 1:13:39SPEAKER_05: Did you not know this was 38 Special?
- 1:13:41SPEAKER_00: I did not know this was 38 Special 2.
- 1:13:42SPEAKER_00: What with the freak, dude?
- 1:13:44SPEAKER_00: Alright, alright.
- 1:13:47SPEAKER_10: Since you've been gone.
- 1:13:49SPEAKER_05: Great song.
- 1:13:50SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:13:50SPEAKER_05: Second chance.
- 1:13:51SPEAKER_05: Good song.
- 1:13:51unknown: I feel my last listen.
- 1:13:53SPEAKER_05: And that's Max Carl, who has a bluesier, soulful kind of voice.
- 1:13:58SPEAKER_05: See, I I never would have figured this out.
- 1:14:01SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:14:02SPEAKER_05: And so, which brings me to this album.
- 1:14:06SPEAKER_05: Uh, this song is not on this album.
- 1:14:08SPEAKER_05: I think they only did two albums with Max Carl.
- 1:14:14SPEAKER_06: Let's see.
- 1:14:15SPEAKER_10: Why can't you care about the mask?
- 1:14:26SPEAKER_05: Actually, Max Carl was Yep, from 87 to 92.
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_05: Which which means they probably only did like one or two albums.
- 1:14:42SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I was gonna say two or three.
- 1:14:44SPEAKER_05: Yeah, because Second Chance is not on this album.
- 1:14:48SPEAKER_05: So, let's get to this album.
- 1:14:50SPEAKER_05: Because I bought this album because I like Don or uh I like Don Barnes Barnes' voice, but I liked Max Carl's voice.
- 1:14:57SPEAKER_05: And you know, that song.
- 1:14:57SPEAKER_05: I was like, well, I like that kind of music.
- 1:14:59SPEAKER_05: I'm gonna take a chance, I'm gonna get this album, Bone Against Steel.
- 1:15:03SPEAKER_05: And um this is back when cars had CD players in them.
- 1:15:08SPEAKER_05: This CD never left my car for like six months.
- 1:15:11SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:15:12SPEAKER_05: I wore it out because it's well, let me just play it.
- 1:15:18SPEAKER_05: This is the first track.
- 1:15:19SPEAKER_05: Think of uh think of riding around sunny day, sunny summer day down the highway with the windows rolled down.
- 1:15:34SPEAKER_05: This is called Sound of Your Voice.
- 1:15:37SPEAKER_05: Catch you pop rock.
- 1:15:38SPEAKER_10: Knock down the doors and break through the walls, tear off the phone run from the law.
- 1:15:45SPEAKER_10: I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna feel it.
- 1:16:30SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, right.
- 1:16:51SPEAKER_05: And this one is the title track.
- 1:16:56SPEAKER_05: Bone against Steel.
- 1:16:59SPEAKER_05: I'm only gonna play a couple because we gotta wrap it up here, but I just dig this town, you know.
- 1:17:05SPEAKER_10: Rolling all out to Vegas on eastbound of LARP neck man who hair from Alabama His eyes had a lot to say, and his name was Rufus Champion.
- 1:17:29SPEAKER_05: So Max Max Carl, like I said, was only in 38 Special Um from 87 to 92.
- 1:17:36SPEAKER_05: Then Don Barnes came back.
- 1:17:38SPEAKER_05: So and then Don Barnes has been with him ever since.
- 1:17:40SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:17:41SPEAKER_05: Um and I think they put out maybe one or two more albums, but they tour all the time.
- 1:17:45SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:17:46SPEAKER_05: Um Max Carl.
- 1:17:51SPEAKER_05: Big choruses, you know, big choruses.
- 1:17:53SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:17:58SPEAKER_05: Um Max Carl is now in and has been for a while.
- 1:18:03SPEAKER_05: Um not only did he do um like soundtrack work for ESPN, like uh like uh for X games and stuff like that, he recorded, he did like guitar soundtrack and stuff like that.
- 1:18:19SPEAKER_05: He's a multi-instrumentalist as well.
- 1:18:21SPEAKER_05: Um but he also joined um Grand Funk Railroad.
- 1:18:25SPEAKER_00: Oh, really?
- 1:18:25SPEAKER_05: And he's been with Grand Funk Railroad, I think, since the mid-90s.
- 1:18:28SPEAKER_05: Wow.
- 1:18:29SPEAKER_05: Um great singer.
- 1:18:33SPEAKER_05: Uh but Don Barnes is a great singer too.
- 1:18:36SPEAKER_05: I love you know, and I'm glad that he's back with 38 Special.
- 1:18:39SPEAKER_05: I do like Max Carl a lot, his his voice.
- 1:18:43SPEAKER_05: So anyway, that's the album.
- 1:18:45SPEAKER_05: That's from 1991.
- 1:18:46SPEAKER_05: Bone Against Steel from 38 Special.
- 1:18:50SPEAKER_05: Um kind of a do I want to say an underrated band?
- 1:18:57SPEAKER_05: I mean they're known for their they're known for their a few hits, right?
- 1:19:01SPEAKER_00: Well, unfortunately that album was probably buried by you know Yeah.

- 1:19:13SPEAKER_05: Yeah, right.
- 1:19:14SPEAKER_05: Yeah.

- 1:19:20SPEAKER_05: So that was on the first album with Max Carl.
- 1:19:22SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:19:22SPEAKER_05: Which I don't know what it what it was called.
