  SPEAKER_01: Greetings, everybody.
• 0:01
  SPEAKER_01: Nick DiVergilio here from Mr. Big, and you are watching CMS-TV.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_01: And then there's our friend Styx Hexenhammer.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_02: Now he's dying, allegedly?
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_02: What?
• 0:34
  That guy went from being a really cutting-edge political pundit
• 0:39
  to being a douche.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: He has fallen so far from what he's built.
• 0:45
  He has just totally destroyed his credibility and platform and
• 0:52
  everything.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_02: He should have just stuck to talking about politics.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_02: I don't even really watch him anymore.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_02: I use, he used to be like a daily.
• 1:04
  Well,
• 1:04
  he,
• 1:05
  he hasn't really put out much because he's been dealing with
• 1:08
  his legal issues.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_02: Is that why?
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_01: He puts out maybe issues,
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_01: Apple that too,
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_01: but he,
• 1:17
  he was putting out four to five videos a day and I barely see
• 1:23
  one every two or
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: three days.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:26
  Yeah,
• 1:27
  I mean,
• 1:27
  I don't know if he's still putting out a bunch of videos or
• 1:29
  not.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_02: I have no idea.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_02: I kind of have not been paying attention anymore.
• 1:34
  I see it every once in a while on Odyssey,
• 1:36
  but I don't even click it anymore.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just done.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_02: I'm over it.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you can't stand listening to a toothless guy.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_02: With that whistling going on when he's talking.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_01: Whistling through that missing tooth hole.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: And he's like, Sally.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_02: He's like, come on, dude.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_02: Old stinky whistle teats there.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_02: Just stick a chiclet in there so that you're not whistling.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_01: Well, what else do you have?
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_02: Last thing I got for the night, I think.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_02: This is the all-time no-surpriser.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_02: Anthrax has once again delayed their album.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_02: It's been 10 fucking years, dude.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: They announced a couple weeks ago it's coming in May.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_02: First song going to be out in March, I think, maybe April.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_02: And nothing.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_02: Now it's pushed back to September.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_02: Why do I think it's going to get pushed back to the new year?
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_02: Do you think that it could be that it's not good?
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: It's hard to tell.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I don't know how long it's been, what, 10 years?
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: 10 years.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: 10 years.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: I might agree with you that it probably isn't good.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's been a long time since they've been a band band.
• 3:06
  I mean,
• 3:07
  they play the sporadic gigs here and there,
• 3:09
  but obviously Charlie's been off
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_02: you know, doing stuff with his wife as well as Pantera.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, he's been out doing that kind of stuff.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_02: Joey's been out being a journey tribute guy.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_02: Uh,
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_02: even John Danae is,
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_02: um,
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: he's,
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: he spent the last year recording a new shadows fall record.
• 3:30
  So they're not together to put that cohesive and together to
• 3:36
  maybe do a good album.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: And it might be great.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, who knows?
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: the last ones,
• 3:44
  the last two I thought were exceptionally good for All Kings
• 3:48
  and worship music.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: I thought they were both fucking fantastic.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: They were.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you didn't even know Joey could sing like that.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_02: No, I thought they were really, really good.
• 4:01
  And,
• 4:02
  you know,
• 4:03
  as a fan,
• 4:04
  I want this to happen,
• 4:05
  but my God,
• 4:06
  how long are we going to wait?
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_02: This is getting into...
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_02: Once it gets into Guns N' Roses territory,
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_02: you really start questioning if it's a band or not anymore.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_02: Guns N' Roses made us wait 13 fucking years and delivered a turd.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm very, very nervous about that with anthrax here at this point.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_02: As a fan, I'm very nervous about it, you know.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_02: But of course, you know, they're saying all the things.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, the first single, wait till you guys hear it.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's going to be great.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: And it's a tribute to the fans.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: Shut up.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_02: I almost wish they wouldn't say anything.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I wish they'd say?
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_02: You'll have to judge it for yourself when you hear it.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_02: The hype is bullshit.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_02: Does anybody believe the hype?
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_02: When you hear a band say,
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_02: this is going to be great,
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_02: or it's the best thing ever,
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_02: or it's one of the best songs we've ever done,
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_02: do you ever buy that bullshit?
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_02: No, of course not.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: Does anybody?
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody says that.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_02: Does anybody buy it?
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: Does anybody?
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_02: The dumbest fan out there.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: I think the over enthusiastic fans,
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: we,
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_01: we were very hard on the release of the Megadeth,
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: from what we heard the first couple songs.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: And we were just like, and, you know, granted somehow, some way,
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: It went to number one?
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was number one album.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_01: And to me, that is not a number one Megadeth album.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_02: No, no.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: That's pretty sad that that's their highest charting album.
• 5:47
  So something along the way has convinced people to say,
• 5:52
  man,
• 5:53
  this is a great album.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_01: And what would that be?
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_02: They just want it to be great, I guess.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_02: I guess.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_02: That's the only thing I can think of is that people want it to be good.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_02: Same with the Santhrax.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_02: People want it to be good.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_02: Same with Metallica.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: 72 seasons.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_02: Look, I'll be honest.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: I enjoy it, but it is one of my least favorite Metallica records.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_02: Now that we've had, what, a year, year and a half of it or whatever.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going back to it like I was the first couple of months.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_02: I was listening to it every day.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_02: Now I'm like, whatever.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: There's better things to listen to.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_02: Better Metallica to listen to.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_02: And I still go back to Hardwired, especially.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_02: I listen to that record pretty regularly.
• 6:42
  So it's not like I'm only going back to Injustice for All or
• 6:46
  Ride the Lightning or
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_02: stuff like that.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I like some of the modern stuff from them.
• 6:51
  But man,
• 6:52
  people convinced themselves that it was...
• 6:54
  Remember the hype at the beginning?
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_02: I think we did.
• 6:57
  I'm sure I probably did it too because I'm a dumb fan just like
• 6:59
  everybody else.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: Was probably like, this is the best thing since!
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I'm sure I must have said that at some point.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_02: This is the best thing since.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_02: And it's not.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_02: Upon further review, it's not.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's one of the worst things since.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_02: It's just how it is.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_02: It just sucks.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_02: The whole fucking industry blows.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_02: quitting this show.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_02: This show is going to make, make me need therapy six days a week.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_01: For, for a year and a half or a year and a half, not longer.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_02: I might need it longer.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: Cause I'm telling you, I, I, every story you can see it.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_02: Every story this week is like, Oh, here we go again.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_02: Another shitty thing.
• 7:45
  Yeah.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: Every fucking story.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, it's another shitty week.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_02: Can't we get it together here somehow, some way, please?
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_02: So annoying.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_02: But anyway, that's all I have.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_02: Anthrax, for anybody that thought they were getting it soon, you're not.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_02: You're waiting now until September.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_02: A reason to live.
• 8:09
  Well,
• 8:09
  since Anthrax is part of the Big Four,
• 8:12
  I got some Big Four-related stories.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_02: All right, good.
• 8:20
  The reason I am bringing this story to the table is because of
• 8:26
  the misleading
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: headline and the way that it's written.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_01: Here's the headline.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_01: Beloved 80s rocker is suddenly demanding payment for iconic song.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: Now let's get into the crux of the article.
• 8:52
  Thrash metal legend Gary Holt is making headlines after
• 8:59
  demanding payment for his
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: unexpected role in one of metal's most iconic tracks,
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: Creeping Death.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: In a recent interview with the Heavy Stories podcast,
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: Holt revealed that while he has never officially been credited,
• 9:19
  he believes part of the song's famous middle section traces
• 9:23
  back to his own work.
• 9:25
  His comments,
• 9:26
  though playful,
• 9:28
  have sparked fresh conversations about songwriting credits.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: You can stop there.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_02: You can stop right there.
• 9:36
  Because that little two word in between the commas is just this
• 9:40
  writer throwing his
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_02: own fucking opinion in there.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: That's exactly right.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_02: The fuck out of here with that though playful.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_02: It was playful.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_02: He was joking.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_02: You fucking jizzbag.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_02: Who's the fucking... Give credit to the jizzbag that wrote this shit.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_02: Look at your screen right now.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_02: If you're tired of the hide-and-seek games with big tech,

• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_02: Well, Mads Dyson, you are a douche.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_02: What a fucking shithead.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I bet you he wrote it that way because what publication is this?
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: Parade magazine.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_02: He wrote it this way because it wouldn't get in otherwise.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_02: It wouldn't get in unless it insinuated that there was a problem.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:16
  There's no way are they going to do a story about Gary Holt and
• 12:21
  Exodus in fucking parade.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_02: Exodus is just not a big enough band for that.
• 12:29
  But if there's a Metallica tie in and it could be controversial
• 12:32
  clickbait city,
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_02: as they obviously wrote the clickbait title.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_02: That's fucking poor.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: I should get paid for that.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_01: Hold set with a laugh.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'll send my bank info.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: It'll be a fat check.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: He's joking.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: I know it's a joke.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: The story goes back to the early 1980s when Holt and Kurt Hammett,
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_01: both members of the band Exodus,
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_01: during that time the group recorded a demo called Die By His Hand.
• 13:10
  According to Holt,
• 13:11
  Hammett created a riff while he contributed the lyrics.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_01: Soon after,
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_01: Hammett left Exodus to go join Metallica,
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_01: stepping in for Dave Mustaine,
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: who was let go.
• 13:22
  Not long after the Metallica released Creeping Death on their
• 13:27
  1984 Ride the
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_01: Lightning album,
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: and that's where things got interesting.
• 13:31
  Holt said the famous chant in the song's middle section was
• 13:35
  inspired by his original lyric.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_01: It's Kurt's riff, it's my lyrics, Holt explains.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_01: The song was dying by his hand and they changed it to die by my hand.
• 13:47
  Despite the similarity,
• 13:48
  Holt made it clear he doesn't actually own any part of the
• 13:51
  song.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: Those were Kirk's riffs.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: He was more than welcome to use them.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: I had zero ownership of any of that.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: Holt's playful tone didn't hide his point, though.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_01: He'd never been credited for the contribution and he knows it.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_02: It's not a point.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_02: He wasn't making that point.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_02: If anything,
• 14:15
  all he's doing is circling back around to the fact that in 1981
• 14:21
  or whatever,
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: 1980,
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: they all were boys hanging out and jamming.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:27
  It was sort of an incestuous thing that this guy went to this
• 14:31
  band and this guy
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: joined that band and,
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: interchangeable members.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: I mean,
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: you look at the history of,
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: say,
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: like Dokken and Rat and all those guys in their early years,
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_01: Quiet Riot.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody was changing members.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_02: Look at fucking London.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_02: Everybody that was in every other band was in London.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_02: London was like the bus station to an 80s band.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they were the farm club.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_02: Everybody went there and then pew, pew.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_02: You're going to Wasp.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_02: You're going to Motley Crue.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_02: You're going to this band.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_02: You're going to that band.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_02: Come on.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_02: I hate these.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not a big, you know this.
• 15:19
  I mean,
• 15:19
  I'm not the hater of AI,
• 15:21
  but I don't want to see it eliminate jobs.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_02: This is one industry that I would love for it to eliminate all the jobs.
• 15:29
  Get rid of every one of these fucking jizz bag writers that
• 15:33
  does no research and
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_02: does everything based on how good they can manipulate a clickbait.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_02: Get rid of all of them.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_02: You know, just replace them with fucking Grok.
• 15:46
  Grok could do every bit as good as Mads Dyson or whatever you
• 15:50
  said his name is.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_01: I am.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not in a great mood about any of these fucking cunts.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_02: Really not.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_02: I've decided that I spent too many years being nice on this show.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's time to get back to basics.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: Get back to being angry.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: I've never been credited, so yeah, that'll tell you how I feel.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_01: He said laughing again.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_01: Son of a bitch making a point that he wants money.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: Except he's not.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: He's demanding money all of a sudden.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, stop it.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 16:29
  Because those Slayer checks have run a little thin now,
• 16:33
  so now he needs Metallica money.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: For longtime fans,
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: the story adds a new layer to Creeping Death,
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: one of Metallica's most loved songs.
• 16:44
  It also shines a light on how songs can evolve as band members
• 16:48
  move and the ideas travel.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: Today, Holt remains a major force in metal music.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_01: As the longtime guitarist of Exodus,
• 16:56
  he helped shape the sound of thrash along with bands like
• 16:59
  Metallica and others from
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: the same era.
• 17:02
  Even now at 61,
• 17:04
  Holt is still touring,
• 17:05
  recording,
• 17:06
  and connecting with new generations of fans.
• 17:09
  He recently shared that the younger audiences are showing up to
• 17:12
  shows in big
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: numbers,
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: ACDC,
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_01: proving the thrash metal is far from fading.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: I'm a super happy guy, Holt said in another interview.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_01: Music is a way to get things off your chest.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_02: They're not getting a lot of love on this new record, though.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, they are from press, but they're not from fans.
• 17:37
  I've been reading a lot of fan reviews that have been like,
• 17:39
  eh,
• 17:39
  it's kind of boring.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's good, but fans are not loving it.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_01: So Gary Holt's suddenly demanding payment for iconic song.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: Sure he is.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_02: How'd that work for him?
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_02: You think all of a sudden Het's going to open the wallet here?
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_01: Well, he's going to have to pony up some of that spear money.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 18:04
  Yeah.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe that's how I'll pay him.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_02: I'll give him a free ticket to the sphere.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: Bring your girl.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_01: Come on.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_01: That ticket is worth $30,000.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: Every penny of it is as much as your contribution to that song.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_02: That's what you get for saying dying by my hand.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_02: You get it.

  Headfield founded Metallica in 81 alongside drummers Lars

  Ulrich over the past four decades.
• 24:29
  The band has solidified its legacy as one of the most
• 24:32
  influential acts in heavy metal history.
• 24:35
  Sitting next to Slayer,
• 24:37
  Anthrax,
• 24:38
  and Megadeth as one of the big four of thrash metal music.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_02: Hmm.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_01: The band has released 11 studio albums over the course of their career.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: Their most recent album,
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_01: 72 Seasons in 2023,

• 24:56
  SPEAKER_01: In 2009, Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_02: Wonderful.
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_02: You know what?
• 25:03
  Any fan that cheerleaded this,
• 25:07
  you're the reason that we're getting the shitty music.
• 25:10
  Pfft.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_02: Because if you're telling him that this is inspired, you're an idiot.
• 25:16
  You should be like,
• 25:17
  dude,
• 25:18
  James Hetfield from 1987 would beat this guy's ass.
• 25:22
  This guy that proposed while swimming with sharks,
• 25:26
  get the fuck out of here with that shit.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_02: And again, another, I need the spotlight guy.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_02: Right?
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_02: I agree.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: This...
• 25:39
  As faggy as this is,
• 25:41
  and it is quite faggy,
• 25:44
  I would still be okay with this if it was private.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_02: If this was just something him and his chick did,
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_02: like maybe she's into scuba diving or something,
• 25:55
  or I don't know why they were swimming with sharks in the first
• 25:58
  fucking place.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't want to know because outside of being on stage,
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_02: I shouldn't give a shit about James Hetfield.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_02: But to share this in public,
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_02: like it's cool,
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_02: like it's as cool as it was to do day on the green,
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_02: or it's as cool as it was to tour with Ozzy.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_02: This is as cool too.
• 26:22
  Here's me proposing to my girl with a piece of paper that I
• 26:26
  took underwater with me.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_02: And I almost got bit by a hammerhead shark, but God damn it.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_02: I proposed to her.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_02: That is as gay as it gets.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_02: That is as gay as it gets.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_02: And again, who likes Metallica more than me?
• 26:48
  Apparently a lot of people these days,
• 26:50
  because I can't take this anymore from this band.
• 26:54
  Between the sphere costing an expensive vacation's worth of
• 26:59
  money to go see it,
• 27:02
  Meanwhile,
• 27:02
  the singer is preoccupied swimming with sharks to propose to
• 27:07
  his bitch.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_02: Jesus Christ.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_02: Son of a bitch.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_01: Play that clip.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_01: Son of a bitch.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_01: What the hell are you doing?
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_01: Where are you, Anthony?
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_02: Ohio, Croatian.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_02: That's a legendary proposal.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_01: This one is for you, James.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus Christ.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_02: Son of a bitch.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_02: What the hell are you faggots doing?
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_02: I agree.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_02: Between that and Lars selling art.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_02: What happened to these guys?
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_02: Well, they're rich now.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_02: Doesn't mean you got to be a dick smoker.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's what happens.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_02: Doesn't have to.
• 28:04
  You can have money and still be fucking who you were because
• 28:07
  that's who you are.
• 28:08
  Dude,
• 28:11
  I mean,
• 28:12
  look,
• 28:13
  James Hetfield has had money for 35 years,
• 28:16
  I would say.
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_02: Is that fair?
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_02: Black album, 91.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_02: You know, from 91 on, they have been uber wealthy.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_02: That's a fair assessment.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I would agree.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_02: So that should mean, though, he had well-established himself up to that.
• 28:36
  He was probably in his 30s at that point and was a
• 28:40
  well-established person of who he was.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_02: And now he's not that guy at all.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_02: That guy does not seem to exist anymore on any level.
• 28:49
  Hetfield is one of the biggest disappointments in heavy metal
• 28:53
  history,
• 28:53
  as far as I'm concerned.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_02: You know, he went from being the...
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_02: the prototype of how to make heavy metal.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_02: He really was.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_02: Carmen Apice told me, you know, here I am throwing names.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_02: Carmine Apice told me this week.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_02: My good friend.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_02: My good friend Carmine, when I was chatting with him during the week,
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_02: told me that he thinks that Metallica was the inventor of heavy metal,
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_02: not Black Sabbath because Black Sabbath was still doing heavy rock,
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_02: but with just bigger guitars.
• 29:25
  And it was Lars doing the double bass and stuff that really
• 29:31
  created heavy metal.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_02: And again, that's his take, not mine.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_01: Well, what about Jesus Priest?
• 29:37
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I agree with you.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_02: Believe me.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_02: I take Carmine with.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_01: Well, he has Carmine and the Rockers.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_02: That is true.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_02: But my point is those guys do not exist anymore.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_02: The guys that invented this shit, they don't exist anymore.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_00: Follow the chaos.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_00: The Classic Metal Show is live on X. Stream all the episodes for free.

• 30:29
  picture of them coming out of sacks with two bags and a broad
• 30:34
  on their hand?
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_01: With Louis Vuitton bags and wearing Burberry scarves and shit like that.

  SPEAKER_02: That's what I mean.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_02: These guys actively and purposely changed.
• 30:50
  The band that I was a fan of,
• 30:52
  the guys that I was a fan of,
• 30:53
  they do not exist anymore.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_02: They died.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_02: They're done.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_02: They're gone.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_02: And in their place,
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_02: the guys that we got on the load cover,
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_02: haircut,
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_02: looking like they're at the business office,
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_02: doing whatever the fuck they want and just saying,
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_02: you people are too stupid to ever say no.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_02: And they're right.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_02: They're right on that, but it's so fucking enraging.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_02: Think about it.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_02: Think about it, dude.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_02: Put it into your world.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_02: If Don Dockin all of a sudden started doing fucking...
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_02: um, EDM music or something, you know, disco music or something.
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_02: If,
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_02: if he just said,
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_02: you know what,
• 31:42
  I've done this enough and now I got a new chick and this new
• 31:45
  chick likes EDM.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_02: So now I'm going to do EDM.
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to be the old doc and I'm going to be this now.
• 31:53
  I,
• 31:54
  you would be like,
• 31:55
  you wouldn't give up on them because you're friendly with them.
• 31:58
  And even if we're friendly of them,
• 31:59
  because that music means so much to you.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_01: I agree.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 32:04
  And you would go around day to day every time you saw a Doc in
• 32:07
  story going.
• 32:12
  Well,
• 32:13
  I'll tell you one that's probably really disappointing for one
• 32:16
  of our fans.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_01: Richie Blackmore.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I would imagine.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_02: But Jim is such a fan.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_02: He just blindly accepts it.
• 32:27
  yeah but but wouldn't you want to see black more rocking out
• 32:31
  with rainbow oh yeah
• 32:33
  or deep purple rather than doing this this you know this
• 32:37
  fucking renaissance fair
• 32:38
  music renaissance fair music no i agree i agree isn't that
• 32:43
  disappointing it's just
• 32:44
  like come on richie fucking rock man and jim is one of these
• 32:49
  guys that if he was a
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_02: metallica fan would be online going so proud of you bro great job
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_02: You proposed with the sharks swimming around you.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_02: Jim would be that guy.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_02: He would be that guy.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_02: Because he could never say that Richie Blackmore did anything dumb.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_02: He could never do it.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_02: Me and you, we just don't give a shit.
• 33:17
  I just know when I saw this article of James with that big
• 33:21
  shit-eating grin on his
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_01: face and doing this,
• 33:24
  holding signs underwater and putting it out there for public
• 33:28
  consumption and
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_01: putting it on social.
• 33:31
  That picture that you got up there on the screen of him holding
• 33:36
  the sign and
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_01: putting that out there,
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_01: it's just like...
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_02: It's like,
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_02: why are you doing this?
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_02: What are you doing?
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_02: Just stop it.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_02: You know,
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 33:48
  it's just I've never wanted somebody to go back to their bad
• 33:52
  substances more than
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_02: James Hetfield.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_02: Everything about Het was so cool when he was an alcoholic.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry that I'm not supposed to say that, but I'm saying it.
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_02: This is crazy.
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_02: Example number one of why rock stars are better if they do drugs or drink
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_02: themselves to death by 40.
• 34:13
  I have a new respect for Midnight of Crimson Glory because he
• 34:17
  did it his way and he
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_02: drank himself straight out.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_01: that was excessive,
• 34:22
  but we got another hero that actually had a longer life and
• 34:27
  even did probably worse
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_01: things is Lemmy.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_02: Did it his way the whole time.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_02: Never caved, never quit, never softened up.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_02: But I'm going to stay the same with what I just said.
• 34:41
  Hetfield,
• 34:43
  nobody ever called him anything but amazing when he was a
• 34:47
  drunk.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_02: True?
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_02: I agree.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_02: There was never criticism of him.
• 34:53
  They were cooler than everybody else in that run from ride the
• 34:58
  lightning to up to black album.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_02: And some would say yes with black.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_02: Some would say no.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_02: So I'll say up to the black album.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_02: There was no cooler band than Metallica.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_01: I mean,
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_01: when they were good,
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_01: when they did binge and purge on that tour,
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_01: they still looked like Metallica.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_02: They were still great.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_02: And then when James quit drinking,
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_02: That's when we started with the, hey, friends.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_02: And look, there's a nine-year-old in the crowd.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_02: This is wonderful.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_02: Come on up and sing with us, kid.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_02: Between that and the friends and the, you know, the... Metallica family.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_02: the Metallica family and the embarrassing video of them with the shrink,
• 35:45
  because God knows they couldn't just get in a room and punch
• 35:48
  each other out like
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_02: every other band has ever done throughout time.
• 35:52
  Instead,
• 35:53
  they needed to bring in a fucking shrink at $10,000 a day to
• 35:55
  help them ease their pain.
• 35:59
  and find their chi again and get the fuck out of here and also
• 36:03
  make a movie out of
• 36:04
  it make a movie well of course you got to release that too
• 36:07
  right of course another
• 36:08
  piece of information that should have never been in public view
• 36:12
  some kind of
• 36:12
  monster should have never seen it the light of day in public
• 36:17
  form except it would
• 36:18
  make money and that ghoul fucking over at q prime was like yeah
• 36:23
  we can do something
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_02: with this
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_02: We can make money with it.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_02: What's even more funny about that is, and nobody even talks about it.
• 36:31
  They had one song in that thing that was like,
• 36:35
  they even made fun of that.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_02: It was like such a crappy song that they didn't end up using it,
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_02: but they showed it in that some kind of monster movie.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it's in, it's on the 72 seasons album now.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_02: So even though they literally said it was a piece of shit song,
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_02: yeah,
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_02: we'll just retool it a little bit.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_02: And now it's on, now it's on the 72 seasons album.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_02: They've gotten lazy.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_02: They don't care.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_02: Made a fortune.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_02: Play on weekends.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, they give the fans a lot for their money.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_02: I will say that.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_02: Not Sphere money, but up until the Sphere tours.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_02: You know, the whole thing about no repeats and two shows over a weekend.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_02: That's pretty cool.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, that is a pretty good get if you're a Metallica fan.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_02: That being said...
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_02: It's over.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_02: Another band bites the dust.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, go ahead.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_01: Well, one last thing and we'll get out of here.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_01: Well, we lost Chuck Norris the other day.
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_02: He got tired of fighting the humans and went to fight God.
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 37:47
  SPEAKER_01: So as a tribute to Chuck Norris.
• 37:50
  This is a tribute to a front man that is still performing at a
• 37:55
  high level.
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 37:57
  This is called 11 reasons why Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson is
• 38:01
  the Chuck Norris of heavy metal.
• 38:04
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 38:06
  SPEAKER_01: Something to tie it all in here.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_01: It's T minus Czech's calendar panics slightly.
• 38:12
  Nine months until heavy metal titans Iron Maiden storm back
• 38:16
  into Australia for
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_01: their absolutely colossal 50th anniversary run for your lives tour.
• 38:22
  Headlining stadiums dragging along Megadeth and generally
• 38:27
  reminding us all that subtly...
• 38:31
  subtly has never been part of the maiden brand and if you're a
• 38:36
  maiden fan then you
• 38:37
  already know what this means it means we must prepare ourselves
• 38:41
  not just for the
• 38:43
  galloping baselines not just for inflatable eddies not just for
• 38:47
  the stadium scale
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_01: theatrics but for the return of bruce dickinson
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yes,
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_01: the Bruce Dickinson,
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_01: air raid siren front man,
• 38:56
  the only human alive who can sprint across a stadium stage for
• 39:00
  two hours straight
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_01: while hitting notes that summon medieval spirits.
• 39:05
  Non-maiden devotees may not fully grasp the magnitude at which
• 39:09
  approaching our
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_01: what's approaching our shores in November of 2026.
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_01: So allow us to very possibly save your life.
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_01: Bruce Dickinson is the Chuck Norris of heavy metal.
• 39:23
  In fact,
• 39:23
  he is the only person in the world that Chuck Norris checks
• 39:26
  under his bed at night for.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_01: Not anymore there.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_01: Chuck's gone to the great beyond.
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_01: Checking under his casket.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_01: Pretty much.
• 39:36
  Because Bruce Dickinson is not just the front man of one of the
• 39:39
  most iconic heavy
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_01: metal bands of all time,
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_01: he is also,
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_01: number one,
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_01: a commercial pilot and marketing director.
• 39:47
  Most maiden fans know that Bruce Dickinson is a fully licensed
• 39:50
  airline pilot.
• 39:51
  He regularly flew Boeing 757s in his role as a captain for the
• 39:57
  now-defunct UK

  cockpit of multiple
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_01: high-profile military and commercial voyages,
• 40:14
  including the time he returned a group of British RAF pilots
• 40:19
  home from Afghanistan
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_01: in 2008?
• 40:21
  SPEAKER_01: You're kidding!
• 40:23
  SPEAKER_02: I never heard that he flew.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_02: Next thing you're going to tell me he's a fencer too, right?
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_01: Um,
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_01: let's see,
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 40:31
  200 UK citizens home from Lebanon during the Israeli Hezbollah
• 40:35
  conflict in 2006 and
• 40:37
  SPEAKER_01: a hundred stranded holiday,
• 40:39
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 40:40
  makers home from Egypt following the collapse of XL airways in
• 40:45
  September of 2008.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um,
• 40:48
  Bruce Dickinson's fearsome aeronautic skills are also called
• 40:51
  upon to fly football
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_01: giants,
• 40:53
  Rangers FC and Liverpool FC to away matches in Israel and Italy
• 41:00
  during the same
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_01: time period.
• 41:03
  It is said that volcanoes inquire about Bruce Dickinson's
• 41:08
  flight patterns before
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_01: they erupt so as to not disturb him.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_01: He is an endangered turtle rescuer.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_01: Bruce Dickinson was recently swimming with Headfield.
• 41:22
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think so.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_01: Looking for turtles to save.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_01: Bruce Dickinson was recently involved in a noble mission to fly a sick,
• 41:31
  endangered turtle named Terry from New Jersey all the way back
• 41:35
  to his home on the
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_01: Canary Islands.
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_01: Bruce Dickinson volunteered his private jet for the task.
• 41:41
  And though it's not yet known whether Bruce Dickinson piloted
• 41:44
  the aircraft himself,
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_01: of course he did.
• 41:49
  Uh,
• 41:49
  he is an actual doctor as well as graduating university with a
• 41:55
  degree in a history.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_01: Bruce Dickinson was awarded an honorary doctorate of music.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_01: So he's not a doctor.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_01: He's an honorary doctor.
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_01: He is an honorary doctor of music by London's queen Mary college in 2011.
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_01: He is an Olympic level fencer as Chris pointed out.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, in 1989, Bruce Dickinson was ranked seventh in all of great Britain.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_01: Legend has it.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_01: Bruce Dickinson was even invited to join the British Olympic team,
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_01: but declined due to iron maidens touring commitments.
• 42:31
  SPEAKER_01: He's a military veteran.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_01: Bruce Dickinson proved that he is not afraid to fight for what's right,
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_01: spending a short amount of time with Territorial Army,
• 42:40
  SPEAKER_01: a part-time voluntary section of the British Armed Forces,
• 42:44
  prior to his university studies and achievement of global
• 42:48
  domination by way of
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_01: heavy metal.
• 42:51
  SPEAKER_01: However,
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_01: please note that the historical records show Bruce Dickinson,
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_01: didn't join the territorial army.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_01: The territorial army briefly joined Bruce Dickinson.

• 43:11
  Chemical Wedding about
• 43:13
  SPEAKER_01: infamous alchemist and Satanist Aleister Crowley.
• 43:17
  The most incredible thing about this is that Bruce Dickinson
• 43:20
  didn't even lift a
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_01: finger to write the script.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_01: The words simply assembled themselves out of fear.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 43:27
  SPEAKER_02: I'm about to throw up from listening to this fucking story.

  SPEAKER_01: Well, they did show him having that...
• 44:44
  wedding out in the desert you know they went out there with
• 44:48
  that priest and we

  fucking swimming with
• 44:56
  sharks he just went out some goofy place to get married right
• 45:02
  he's less judas
• 45:03

• 45:07
  this story yes or no
• 45:09
  Well,
• 45:09
  I don't know if this is so much gay as the writer is making it

  SPEAKER_01: Maybe the writer's gay.
• 45:15
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe he's gay for Bruce Dickinson.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_01: Might be.
• 45:18
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus Christ.
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_02: He wants that half a tongue licking his taint.

  SPEAKER_01: He is a proud owner of a T-34 Soviet tank,
• 45:56
  SPEAKER_01: meaning he now makes as much noise on the road as he does on stage.
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_01: Are you fucking kidding me with this?
• 46:04
  SPEAKER_01: Number 10, he's beaten cancer.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_01: Bruce Dickinson beat the shit out of his tongue cancer diagnosis,
• 46:11
  which he apparently contracted in the first place from eating
• 46:15
  too much maiden,
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_01: if you know what I mean.
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_01: And finally,
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_01: and all this after getting expelled from boarding school,
• 46:27
  Bruce Dickinson got kicked out after taking a piss on his
• 46:32
  headmaster soup.
• 46:34
  SPEAKER_01: Totally legit.
• 46:37
  SPEAKER_02: Uh-huh.
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_01: So there you are.
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_01: There's 11 reasons why Bruce Dickinson is the...
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_01: The Chuck Norris of heavy metal.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_02: You know what?
• 46:49
  SPEAKER_02: If we're going to start playing this game, who's the new Chuck Norris?
• 46:51
  Then I'm glad Chuck's gone because I can't wait to hear why
• 46:56
  fucking Dennis DeYoung
• 46:58
  SPEAKER_02: is the Chuck Norris of sticks or whatever.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_02: Jesus Christ,
• 47:02
  anything to fucking make your $35 in whatever publication
• 47:07
  you're selling this shit
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_02: to.
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_02: God, that is fucking poor, dude.
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_02: What publication was this?
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_01: Take a look here real quick.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
• 47:19
  SPEAKER_01: Where is it?
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_01: I shut it down.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_02: That's not that important.
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_02: Gay fag quarterly.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_01: This was done through a thing called Music Feeds.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_01: Music Feeds.
• 47:38
  SPEAKER_01: Music Feeds.
• 47:40
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_02: Feeding on a load of fucking jizz on that one.
• 47:45
  SPEAKER_01: This was written by Emmy Mack.
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_02: Great job, Emmy.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_02: You're wonderful.
• 47:52
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think that'll wrap up the angry show tonight.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_01: Chris is going to just go nasty away for the rest of the evening.
• 48:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 48:06
  SPEAKER_02: Finish up my bullshit.
• 48:08
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 48:08
  I noticed this week as part of the archival shows that you've
• 48:12
  been re-releasing
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_01: that you released one of our favorite segments ever,
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_01: the Eddie Money and the Sandwich.
• 48:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_02: Is that the one with the kid interviewing him?
• 48:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 48:32
  SPEAKER_01: Who wouldn't want to take someone home tonight?
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_02: And he talks about his daughter being fat and everything.
• 48:38
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_02: Fat and she drinks too much.
• 48:41
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that is a good one.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.

  SPEAKER_01: the name of that tune there is called One Half Hard.
• 50:39
  SPEAKER_01: And Chris,
• 50:40
  SPEAKER_01: I know you never talked to this guy before,
• 50:42
  but he's been a fan of the classic metal show since I met him
• 50:45
  about six years ago.
• 50:47
  SPEAKER_01: He's part of the Killer Dwarfs, and you know our good friend Russ, right?
• 50:54
  SPEAKER_03: Rusty Dwarf?
• 50:55
  Yeah,
• 50:56
  he's this good friend of mine still,
• 50:58
  which is rare for guys that have been
• 51:01
  SPEAKER_03: Touring in a band together for 25 years.
• 51:04
  SPEAKER_03: But, yeah, Russ and I are still really good friends.
• 51:07
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 51:08
  SPEAKER_01: as you heard,
• 51:09
  since Daryl can't wait for us to introduce him and had to jump
• 51:14
  in there and speak
• 51:15
  SPEAKER_01: for Chris.
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 51:18
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, you were talking to Chris.
• 51:19
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry.
• 51:22
  We want to welcome back to the classic metal show Daryl Dwarf
• 51:26
  of Auto Man.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_03: Daryl Dwarf Miller.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_03: My full name.
• 51:30
  SPEAKER_01: of Auto Man CA, the CA standing for Canada, of course.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'll just clarify that.
• 51:38
  I know,
• 51:39
  you know,
• 51:39
  we talked about this six years ago now,
• 51:41
  which is,
• 51:42
  we'll get into that.
• 51:43
  SPEAKER_03: But the band, the band's called Auto Man.
• 51:47
  All the logos you'll ever see on this band will be Auto Man dot
• 51:50
  CA,
• 51:51
  which is the band's website.
• 51:53
  SPEAKER_03: And Neely, you're right, it stands for Auto Man Canada.
• 51:56
  SPEAKER_03: But really, it's just
• 51:58
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_03: that's on there for just really a legal purpose,
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_03: because there's a TV show called Auto Man that came out years ago,
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_03: and it just,
• 52:07
  SPEAKER_03: I kind of,
• 52:07
  SPEAKER_03: to use the name and kind of own the name,
• 52:10
  SPEAKER_03: just having the .ca,
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_03: which makes us Auto Man Canada,
• 52:13
  SPEAKER_03: just got rid of a lot of legal fees and different things for me.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_03: And it also,
• 52:17
  SPEAKER_03: on Google searches and whatnot,
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_03: it splits apart the TV show from the band,
• 52:22
  SPEAKER_03: and that's important to me.
• 52:24
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, this is just like an episode of Behind the Music.
• 52:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, behind the music, Neely style, and Chris, that is.
• 52:34
  SPEAKER_02: Very nice, Daryl.
• 52:36
  SPEAKER_02: Well,
• 52:36
  SPEAKER_02: Daryl,
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_02: obviously,
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_02: man,
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_02: Auto Man,
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_02: a very different project from what most people,
• 52:41
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 52:41
  SPEAKER_02: recognize you from,
• 52:42
  SPEAKER_02: that being the Killer Dwarfs.
• 52:44
  SPEAKER_02: And,
• 52:44
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 52:45
  SPEAKER_02: very,
• 52:46
  this is the kind of record I would expect to be doing shots of
• 52:50
  whiskey to while I
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_02: was in a bar somewhere,
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_02: just,
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_02: getting fucked up and having a good time.
• 52:55
  SPEAKER_02: Is that kind of what this is supposed to be for you guys?
• 52:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, it is.
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_03: You couldn't have coined it more nice there, Chris.
• 53:05
  SPEAKER_03: It's a driving, rocking type record.
• 53:10
  SPEAKER_03: I've had fans that have already purchased it pre-release.
• 53:15
  The CD does not come out until March 17th on Sony BMG,
• 53:21
  Megaforce actually in the States,
• 53:23
  but
• 53:25
  SPEAKER_03: It's released on the 17th,
• 53:26
  SPEAKER_03: but pre-orders and all that,
• 53:29
  SPEAKER_03: I made it available on my label,
• 53:31
  SPEAKER_03: Ongadunk Records,
• 53:32
  SPEAKER_03: as pre-orders,
• 53:33
  SPEAKER_03: and it sold some nice numbers for a good little start for me.
• 53:38
  And some of the fans have come back with such positive comments
• 53:44
  on the disc,
• 53:44
  SPEAKER_03: and the best ones are basically what,
• 53:47
  SPEAKER_03: Chris,
• 53:47
  SPEAKER_03: what you just said.
• 53:49
  SPEAKER_03: They get this feeling that when they drive in their car,
• 53:53
  SPEAKER_03: they like to listen to it,
• 53:54
  SPEAKER_03: driving around.
• 53:55
  SPEAKER_03: It's definitely backyard, patio, barbecue, summertime, rock and roll.
• 54:02
  SPEAKER_03: And they're loving it.
• 54:04
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it's definitely good stuff, man.
• 54:07
  SPEAKER_02: And the thing that's really cool about it is it's not just...
• 54:11
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 54:11
  SPEAKER_02: I did a little bit of reading around some of the reviews,
• 54:14
  SPEAKER_02: and it seems like a lot of people are just bagging it as the,
• 54:18
  SPEAKER_02: well,
• 54:18
  SPEAKER_02: it's ACDC type stuff,
• 54:20
  SPEAKER_02: but it's really not.
• 54:21
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 54:22
  SPEAKER_02: there's some songs that clearly remind you of that style,
• 54:24
  SPEAKER_02: but then there's stuff like Cinnamon Rain that's,
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 54:27
  SPEAKER_02: completely unique to this record.
• 54:31
  SPEAKER_02: Is that kind of how you see it as well?
• 54:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know...
• 54:35
  SPEAKER_03: I should get you to review my records everywhere.
• 54:37
  SPEAKER_03: You seem to have more of a handle on it.
• 54:40
  SPEAKER_03: I think,
• 54:41
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 54:42
  SPEAKER_03: nothing against...
• 54:43
  SPEAKER_03: I've only really read mostly positive reviews,
• 54:46
  SPEAKER_03: so I'm happy about that.
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_03: But I think a lot of these guys,
• 54:49
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 54:49
  that do review it probably don't have as much time to kind of
• 54:53
  get close to it,
• 54:54
  SPEAKER_03: so they'll listen to it once,
• 54:56
  SPEAKER_03: kind of get a grip on that,
• 54:57
  SPEAKER_03: and that's sort of what they write the review about.
• 54:59
  SPEAKER_03: Because if you do get into the discs,
• 55:02
  SPEAKER_03: it's not ACDC at all.
• 55:05
  SPEAKER_03: It's just very,
• 55:06
  SPEAKER_03: very bluesy,
• 55:07
  smoky blues-rooted rock and roll with a little bit of a
• 55:10
  southern feel to it.
• 55:11
  SPEAKER_03: Do you not agree?
• 55:13
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 55:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 55:14
  SPEAKER_02: It's closer more to like a...
• 55:15
  SPEAKER_02: It's more like a rose tattoo type of a vibe than an ACDC type of a vibe.
• 55:21
  SPEAKER_02: It's not just rock for the sake of big rock sound, you know what I mean?
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_03: Right, right.
• 55:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, you know, there's definitely... I mean, I am...
• 55:30
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 55:30
  SPEAKER_03: a fan of ACDC and all that,
• 55:32
  SPEAKER_03: but the writing of the record,
• 55:33
  SPEAKER_03: Carlton Lockhart is my writing partner,
• 55:35
  SPEAKER_03: and,
• 55:36
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 55:36
  SPEAKER_03: he's a Jeff Beck,
• 55:38
  SPEAKER_03: Rolling Stones fan,
• 55:39
  SPEAKER_03: mostly,
• 55:40
  SPEAKER_03: and,
• 55:41
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 55:41
  SPEAKER_03: and my flavors come as far as Ted Nugent and Johnny Winter,
• 55:45
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_03: so,
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 55:47
  SPEAKER_03: it's not all about ACDC at all,
• 55:49
  SPEAKER_03: Otto,
• 55:49
  SPEAKER_03: man,
• 55:50
  SPEAKER_03: it's just really,
• 55:51
  SPEAKER_03: I won't deny that it's not
• 55:54
  derived from 70s music though and I do admit that I grew up in
• 55:59
  the 70s and my
• 56:00
  favorite bands were 70s rock bands and it's as simple as that
• 56:04
  everything from Alice
• 56:04
  Cooper to Aerosmith and ACDC and Foghat and Brush and Kiss and
• 56:10
  I can go on and on
• 56:11
  and those bands were my favorite bands and I mean I've seen Ted
• 56:14
  Nugent probably 8
• 56:15
  times actually the head of TSN the sports network has our disc
• 56:20
  and he hears it as
• 56:21
  SPEAKER_03: Ted Nugent the whole record
• 56:24
  SPEAKER_03: That was his evaluation of it.
• 56:26
  SPEAKER_03: So I think everybody just hears something of their own into this.
• 56:30
  SPEAKER_03: It's pretty strange to me.
• 56:33
  But I'm getting a lot of positive feedback from it,
• 56:37
  and I'm very excited about that.
• 56:40
  SPEAKER_03: I did finally get the right message.
• 56:43
  deal for for the disc as neil and i were talking off air it's
• 56:46
  taken me six years
• 56:47
  people think this is like wow you know great you put this band
• 56:50
  together and here
• 56:51
  you are records coming out first records coming out in march
• 56:55
  but it's a six-year
• 56:56
  toil to get to get the big distribution and get it all
• 57:00
  happening and get it out
• 57:02
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 57:02
  SPEAKER_01: Daryl,
• 57:03
  SPEAKER_01: as I'm sure you're well aware of being in the business,
• 57:06
  SPEAKER_01: as you have been,
• 57:07
  SPEAKER_01: and the fact that traditional rock and roll,
• 57:11
  SPEAKER_01: guitar-driven,
• 57:12
  SPEAKER_01: testosterone-driven rock and roll often attracts a male audience,
• 57:19
  SPEAKER_01: a lot of artists like yourself,
• 57:20
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sure,
• 57:21
  SPEAKER_01: is interested in trying to attract maybe the female audience as well.
• 57:25
  SPEAKER_01: Would that be correct?
• 57:27
  SPEAKER_03: You know what?
• 57:28
  SPEAKER_03: I'll take as many females as I can get.
• 57:30
  SPEAKER_01: I mean,
• 57:32
  I did some big tours with Motley Crue back in 2000 when I was
• 57:37
  drumming in this
• 57:38
  SPEAKER_03: southern rock band called Laidlaw that I was in,
• 57:41
  SPEAKER_03: that Nikki had actually signed,
• 57:43
  SPEAKER_03: and that's all in the press.
• 57:44
  SPEAKER_03: Everybody knows I was in Laidlaw for seven years after the Killer Dwarfs.
• 57:48
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, Motley Crue is a girl band.
• 57:51
  SPEAKER_03: Half their audience is all women.
• 57:53
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know,
• 57:55
  SPEAKER_03: I think like a track like cinnamon rain,
• 57:59
  SPEAKER_03: uh,
• 57:59
  SPEAKER_03: which was mentioned earlier as well,
• 58:01
  SPEAKER_03: uh,
• 58:01
  that females are gravitating towards that one track and they
• 58:05
  love that track.
• 58:06
  SPEAKER_03: And when I go out and play shows,
• 58:08
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not seeing that it's an all male audience coming to my shows.
• 58:12
  SPEAKER_03: It's, it's almost reminds me of the crew a bit.
• 58:13
  It's a bit of a mixed bag,
• 58:15
  you know,
• 58:16
  guys in my band are pretty good looking guys.
• 58:18
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, they're a little younger than I am.
• 58:20
  SPEAKER_03: And, uh,
• 58:23
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 58:23
  SPEAKER_03: Let's see what happens.
• 58:24
  SPEAKER_03: We've yet to really do a tour.
• 58:26
  SPEAKER_03: You know,
• 58:27
  SPEAKER_03: this is going to be the first for us to get out and tour North America,
• 58:30
  SPEAKER_03: which is all in the works right now.
• 58:32
  SPEAKER_03: And,
• 58:33
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 58:33
  SPEAKER_03: the bands really only played or performed about 40 shows,
• 58:40
  SPEAKER_03: and they've all been in Canada.
• 58:41
  SPEAKER_03: We haven't been to the U.S.
• 58:42
  SPEAKER_03: yet.
• 58:43
  SPEAKER_03: So it's really, after this CD gets out, you know, I...
• 58:47
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know what's going to happen, guys.
• 58:49
  I don't know what my audience is going to be,
• 58:51
  really,
• 58:52
  or the demographic of it.
• 58:53
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know if it's going to be mixed bag or what.
• 58:55
  SPEAKER_01: Well, Darrell, I've got a marketing idea for you.
• 58:58
  SPEAKER_01: Perhaps when you do do distribution with this,
• 59:02
  SPEAKER_01: maybe you could slap a sticker on there that says,
• 59:05
  SPEAKER_01: a good CD to perform fellatio to.
• 59:10
  SPEAKER_03: Do you think that would work?
• 59:11
  SPEAKER_03: And then we'll use, we'll pick the track even.
• 59:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we'll put cinnamon rain.
• 59:15
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 59:16
  SPEAKER_03: The favorite one.
• 59:17
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 59:17
  SPEAKER_01: I'm always thinking.
• 59:18
  SPEAKER_01: Just marketing, marketing.
• 59:19
  SPEAKER_01: That's important.
• 59:21
  SPEAKER_03: Man, I should have you on my team.
• 59:22
  SPEAKER_03: You're a genius.
• 59:25
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 59:26
  SPEAKER_01: Daryl,
• 59:27
  SPEAKER_01: people know you,
• 59:28
  SPEAKER_01: obviously,
• 59:29
  SPEAKER_01: from the killer dwarves,
• 59:30
  SPEAKER_01: and you're out there trying to make a name for yourself with AutoMan.ca.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_03: You can just call it AutoMan.
• 59:38
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't want to get sued.
• 59:40
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want a copyright infringement here.
• 59:43
  SPEAKER_01: Just playing it safe.
• 59:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just trying to play it safe.
• 59:45
  SPEAKER_01: Just playing it safe.
• 59:46
  SPEAKER_01: So what is the status of the doors?
• 59:50
  Are you guys pretty much done or just on hiatus or you could
• 59:54
  roll that machine out
• 59:55
  SPEAKER_01: anytime you feel necessary or what's the deal?
• 59:59
  SPEAKER_03: Well, really what the deal is, is we kind of did that reunion in 2002.
• 1:00:06
  SPEAKER_03: We toured North America.
• 1:00:07
  SPEAKER_03: You know, we did it for the fans.
• 1:00:10
  SPEAKER_03: We got the original band back together.
• 1:00:13
  I did that live DVD up here in Toronto and the CD,
• 1:00:16
  live CD,
• 1:00:17
  which is out selling.
• 1:00:19
  SPEAKER_03: But you know what?
• 1:00:20
  SPEAKER_03: We never really...
• 1:00:21
  SPEAKER_03: We started dabbling and writing new songs,
• 1:00:24
  SPEAKER_03: and we never really wrote a new record.
• 1:00:27
  SPEAKER_03: So without that, there's really no future of a band, in my opinion.
• 1:00:32
  I mean,
• 1:00:33
  it's not like the Killer Dwarfs would go forward without a new
• 1:00:36
  record.
• 1:00:37
  SPEAKER_03: That seemed to be the progression I would see happening.
• 1:00:40
  You've heard me grill your favorite rock stars for 30 years on
• 1:00:44
  the Classic Metal
• 1:00:45
  SPEAKER_02: Show in Chris Akin Presents.
• 1:00:47
  SPEAKER_02: Now it's time to put me to work for you.
• 1:00:50
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.

  SPEAKER_02: I am officially on Cameo,

• 1:00:56

• 1:01:04
  SPEAKER_02: Whether you need to roast a buddy for his terrible taste in music,
• 1:01:08
  SPEAKER_02: wish a fellow metalhead a brutal birthday,
• 1:01:11

  A-K-I-N.
• 1:01:28
  SPEAKER_02: Let's make something legendary.
• 1:01:30
  SPEAKER_02: Get some CMS personalized.
• 1:01:34
  SPEAKER_03: And I just think it just wasn't meant to be.
• 1:01:36
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 1:01:38
  SPEAKER_03: We got out and did it,
• 1:01:39
  and then there was some internal things that were starting to
• 1:01:43
  feel like the old
• 1:01:44
  SPEAKER_03: dwarfs,
• 1:01:44
  SPEAKER_03: and it kind of just ran its course with us,
• 1:01:48
  SPEAKER_03: and we didn't even break up again or anything.
• 1:01:50
  SPEAKER_03: We just stopped doing dates.
• 1:01:52
  SPEAKER_03: And I had this Auto Man thing going six years ago, as you know.
• 1:01:56
  SPEAKER_03: And I had just come back from L.A.
• 1:01:58
  SPEAKER_03: after being in Laidlaw to get back into Killer Dwarfs.
• 1:02:01
  And we kind of went into it with the attitude that it was going
• 1:02:04
  to be a temporary
• 1:02:05
  SPEAKER_03: thing,
• 1:02:06
  SPEAKER_03: you know.
• 1:02:07
  SPEAKER_03: And so, you know, I don't see the dwarfs touring again with that lineup.
• 1:02:13
  SPEAKER_03: I don't see us touring again actually at all.
• 1:02:16
  SPEAKER_03: And Russ is in an old band called Moxie.
• 1:02:20
  SPEAKER_03: He's the lead singer in that band now.
• 1:02:22
  SPEAKER_03: And he's come back now and has a few projects going on himself now.
• 1:02:26
  So between myself and Russ,
• 1:02:29
  we're both in new projects that are long-term things.
• 1:02:32
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, Auto Man, to me, is a 10-year projection.
• 1:02:37
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I've made a drastic change in my career.
• 1:02:40
  SPEAKER_03: I'm now a front man.
• 1:02:41
  SPEAKER_03: I'm a lead singer.
• 1:02:42
  SPEAKER_03: I'm off the drums.
• 1:02:44
  SPEAKER_03: Singer, songwriter, it's a whole new world for me as a musician.
• 1:02:49
  I mean,
• 1:02:49
  I still play drums,
• 1:02:50
  and I do drum in one song a night,
• 1:02:53
  live at Auto Man.
• 1:02:54
  We have this big double kit,
• 1:02:56
  and I get up and play one song with my drummer.
• 1:02:58
  SPEAKER_03: We do an instrumental thing.
• 1:02:59
  SPEAKER_03: It's fun.
• 1:03:00
  SPEAKER_03: It's really fun.
• 1:03:01
  SPEAKER_01: Well, congratulations on your successful rehab.
• 1:03:06
  SPEAKER_03: There you go, buddy.
• 1:03:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so that's what I'm doing.
• 1:03:10
  SPEAKER_01: Glad to see you're off the drums now and on to, you know, mics.
• 1:03:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:03:15
  SPEAKER_03: Well, you know, again, you just don't all of a sudden become a singer.
• 1:03:19
  SPEAKER_03: I've always been a singer.
• 1:03:22
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I was a singer-drummer in my very first band when I met Russ.
• 1:03:27
  SPEAKER_03: Kind of the Don Henley, kind of Gilmore, whatever you want to say.
• 1:03:31
  I was singing 18 songs a night from the kit in that very first
• 1:03:34
  band I was in
• 1:03:34
  SPEAKER_03: before,
• 1:03:35
  SPEAKER_03: The Killer Dwarfs.
• 1:03:36
  SPEAKER_03: And when Russ and I put the dwarfs together,
• 1:03:37
  SPEAKER_03: I was contemplating being a frontman then,
• 1:03:41
  SPEAKER_03: and he kind of talked me out of it and said,
• 1:03:42
  SPEAKER_03: let's put a band together.
• 1:03:44
  SPEAKER_03: And that's how it happened.
• 1:03:45
  And I'm glad he did talk me out of it,
• 1:03:47
  but now I'm living it now,
• 1:03:49
  you know.
• 1:03:50
  SPEAKER_03: Never say never.
• 1:03:52
  SPEAKER_02: Well,
• 1:03:52
  SPEAKER_02: Daryl,
• 1:03:53
  SPEAKER_02: doing a new project now versus back in the old days,
• 1:03:56
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 1:03:57
  SPEAKER_02: clearly back in the old days,
• 1:03:58
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 1:03:59
  SPEAKER_02: major label throws a big check at you and then you go out and,
• 1:04:02
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 1:04:03
  SPEAKER_02: try and earn the money back that they wrote for you.
• 1:04:05
  SPEAKER_02: But,
• 1:04:06
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 1:04:07
  SPEAKER_02: it's a different animal these days with,
• 1:04:10
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 1:04:10
  SPEAKER_02: downloading and everything else that goes on.
• 1:04:15
  How difficult is it now to break a band where a lot of people's
• 1:04:20
  perception is that
• 1:04:21
  SPEAKER_02: recorded music should be free in the first place?
• 1:04:24
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 1:04:25
  SPEAKER_03: Well, it's very different, that's for sure.
• 1:04:28
  SPEAKER_03: And that's why I approached it completely different.
• 1:04:32
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it starts with the Internet, really.
• 1:04:34
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I kind of embraced the Net in 1999.
• 1:04:39
  I actually took a lot of graphic design courses and ended up
• 1:04:43
  becoming kind of a
• 1:04:44
  SPEAKER_03: digital design guy.
• 1:04:47
  I started my own record label and I started wearing all the
• 1:04:51
  hats that came with it.
• 1:04:52
  SPEAKER_03: I knew it was going to be insane to try to do that,
• 1:04:56
  SPEAKER_03: but the internet does allow a band to be pretty self-supportive as well.
• 1:05:01
  SPEAKER_03: And I just built that label,
• 1:05:04
  SPEAKER_03: Uncle Dunk Records,
• 1:05:05
  up and did everything myself from all the graphic designing and
• 1:05:09
  web design to now
• 1:05:11
  SPEAKER_03: it's at the stage where I'm the guy.
• 1:05:13
  SPEAKER_03: I manufacture all the records.
• 1:05:15
  SPEAKER_03: I do it all.
• 1:05:17
  SPEAKER_03: But I don't.
• 1:05:18
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, a company manufacturer, but I mean, I'm the record label now.
• 1:05:22
  SPEAKER_03: And you know what?
• 1:05:24
  SPEAKER_03: What comes along with that is spending a lot of money.
• 1:05:27
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, this pocket change record, I financed it, and it wasn't cheap.
• 1:05:31
  SPEAKER_03: It was mastered at Sterling Sound in New York.
• 1:05:34
  I had Greg Looper from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers came in
• 1:05:38
  and mixed it and co-produced.
• 1:05:40
  SPEAKER_03: It was recorded in four studios,
• 1:05:43
  SPEAKER_03: two in America and two in Canada,
• 1:05:45
  SPEAKER_03: and I didn't fool around with it.
• 1:05:47
  SPEAKER_03: And,
• 1:05:48
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:05:48
  SPEAKER_03: for an indie-type record,
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_03: it has a quality production quality of a major label,
• 1:05:54
  SPEAKER_03: and
• 1:05:55
  SPEAKER_03: You know,
• 1:05:55
  SPEAKER_03: Pro Tools and all these new toys that we now have,
• 1:05:59
  SPEAKER_03: recording records,
• 1:06:00
  SPEAKER_03: can help cut your budget a bit.
• 1:06:02
  But at the end of the day,
• 1:06:03
  you know,
• 1:06:05
  you still have to get really good drum sounds.
• 1:06:07
  SPEAKER_03: You still have to find a studio that has that drum room.
• 1:06:11
  SPEAKER_03: And time is money,
• 1:06:13
  and you still got to take your drummer in there and track those
• 1:06:16
  tracks over a
• 1:06:16
  SPEAKER_03: period of days.
• 1:06:17
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, you can only cut corners so much.
• 1:06:21
  SPEAKER_03: You know,
• 1:06:21
  SPEAKER_03: Neely,
• 1:06:22
  SPEAKER_03: when I first came on your show six years ago,
• 1:06:24
  SPEAKER_03: I brought that calling card,
• 1:06:26
  SPEAKER_03: that little EP that I had,
• 1:06:28
  SPEAKER_03: right?
• 1:06:29
  SPEAKER_01: And I still have it, as a matter of fact.
• 1:06:32
  SPEAKER_03: Right, so you remember Porno Queen and all that.
• 1:06:34
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I told you exactly what I was doing with that.
• 1:06:36
  SPEAKER_03: It was a calling card.
• 1:06:38
  SPEAKER_03: It was a demo-ish type EP.
• 1:06:41
  SPEAKER_03: I was proud of the songs that Carlton and I had come up with,
• 1:06:46
  SPEAKER_03: and that was in our infancy of our writing season.
• 1:06:48
  together and we've come a long way since that but I you know I
• 1:06:53
  only went into it
• 1:06:55
  you know not investing thousands of dollars because I really
• 1:06:58
  didn't know how I was
• 1:06:59
  going to be received and that's why I called the test drive
• 1:07:02
  times 5 disc a test
• 1:07:04
  drive I wanted to see how I would be received by you guys
• 1:07:09
  really in the media and
• 1:07:10
  what not and lucky for me it wasn't it wasn't totally negative
• 1:07:15
  it was more like wow
• 1:07:17
  SPEAKER_03: I mean you can sing
• 1:07:18
  SPEAKER_03: And that's got me to here now.
• 1:07:20
  SPEAKER_03: So that's your answer with that, Chris.
• 1:07:23
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 1:07:24
  SPEAKER_01: going back to a comment you made there,
• 1:07:26
  SPEAKER_01: Daryl,
• 1:07:26
  SPEAKER_01: about wearing a lot of hats,
• 1:07:28
  I was wondering if perhaps you may have felt some kinship with
• 1:07:33
  now-deceased Leonard
• 1:07:35
  SPEAKER_01: Skinner bassist Leon Wilkinson.
• 1:07:40
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I love that you said that.
• 1:07:41
  SPEAKER_03: Because, like, I don't know if you realize, but that Laidlaw band, okay?
• 1:07:46
  SPEAKER_03: I keep going back to that.
• 1:07:47
  SPEAKER_03: This band,
• 1:07:48
  SPEAKER_03: Laidlaw,
• 1:07:48
  SPEAKER_03: that I was in for Southern California,
• 1:07:50
  SPEAKER_03: we toured with Skinner and ZZ Top and Motley and Scorpions.
• 1:07:56
  SPEAKER_03: We did some great tours in 1999 and 2001 to 2001 in America.
• 1:08:02
  SPEAKER_03: And Leon Wilkson became a good friend of mine,
• 1:08:05
  SPEAKER_03: and he actually,
• 1:08:07
  SPEAKER_03: God rest his soul now,
• 1:08:09
  SPEAKER_03: he's passed away a few years ago,
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_03: but
• 1:08:11
  SPEAKER_03: On the last night of one of the tours,
• 1:08:13
  SPEAKER_03: he looked over at me,
• 1:08:15
  SPEAKER_03: and I was standing in the wings,
• 1:08:17
  SPEAKER_03: and he wears his bobby hat.
• 1:08:19
  SPEAKER_03: He wears a lot of different hats,
• 1:08:21
  SPEAKER_03: as you know,
• 1:08:21
  SPEAKER_03: and he has his bobby hat that he'd had for 20 years or longer.
• 1:08:25
  SPEAKER_03: And he took that hat off,
• 1:08:27
  SPEAKER_03: and he launched it at me,
• 1:08:28
  SPEAKER_03: side stage,
• 1:08:29
  SPEAKER_03: and I'd barely seen it coming at me because of the lights.
• 1:08:31
  SPEAKER_03: But I'd seen it at the last minute, and I caught the hat.
• 1:08:35
  And then I was going to give it to his hat roadie,
• 1:08:37
  which he has a guy,
• 1:08:38
  actually.
• 1:08:38
  SPEAKER_03: It has a big trunk of hats there.
• 1:08:40
  And the guy looked at me,
• 1:08:41
  and he shook his head,
• 1:08:42
  and I was trying to give it to him.
• 1:08:43
  SPEAKER_03: He shook his head, and he goes, no, man.
• 1:08:45
  SPEAKER_03: I go, what?
• 1:08:46
  SPEAKER_03: What's going on?
• 1:08:47
  SPEAKER_03: He goes, Leon just threw that.
• 1:08:48
  SPEAKER_03: He gave you that hat.
• 1:08:50
  SPEAKER_03: And I went, what?
• 1:08:51
  SPEAKER_03: You're kidding me.
• 1:08:53
  SPEAKER_03: And I couldn't believe it.
• 1:08:54
  SPEAKER_03: Leon gave me that hat on the last night of the tour,
• 1:08:58
  SPEAKER_03: and he autographed it,
• 1:08:59
  SPEAKER_03: and I still have it here.
• 1:09:01
  SPEAKER_03: The guys in Skynyrd were going, you better not sell that hat.
• 1:09:05
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, why would I do that?
• 1:09:07
  SPEAKER_01: Go ahead.
• 1:09:10
  No,
• 1:09:10
  so I'm just saying that's a very special piece of rock and roll
• 1:09:14
  memorabilia that I own.
• 1:09:15
  SPEAKER_03: I own a lot of different pieces, but that one.
• 1:09:18
  SPEAKER_03: And to answer your question, I didn't want to get sidetracked.
• 1:09:20
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, I do wear some hats, a couple on stage.
• 1:09:23
  SPEAKER_03: I have this big red top hat,
• 1:09:25
  SPEAKER_03: kind of velvet-crushed English-looking top hat,
• 1:09:28
  SPEAKER_03: and that's became a bit of a showpiece with me.
• 1:09:30
  SPEAKER_03: I really only wear it in one song a night,
• 1:09:33
  SPEAKER_03: and I wear some cowboy hats on and off,
• 1:09:36
  SPEAKER_03: but that's really it.
• 1:09:36
  SPEAKER_03: But it has become a part of my frontman look
• 1:09:40
  SPEAKER_03: So I didn't get that from Leon.
• 1:09:42
  SPEAKER_03: No, I just, I don't know.
• 1:09:44
  They started calling me the cat in the hat kind of thing,
• 1:09:46
  and I just,
• 1:09:47
  that hat was cool.
• 1:09:49
  SPEAKER_03: It's a custom-made hat, and it just became a showpiece.
• 1:09:52
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I just think a band should put on a rock show, that's all.
• 1:09:57
  SPEAKER_03: So I dress,
• 1:09:57
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:09:58
  SPEAKER_03: with some stage clothes and whatnot,
• 1:10:00
  SPEAKER_03: and I just go the extra mile,
• 1:10:02
  SPEAKER_03: you know.
• 1:10:02
  SPEAKER_03: I've got a nice back line built now, and I just,
• 1:10:06
  SPEAKER_03: I just believe that fans deserve more of a show.
• 1:10:09
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 1:10:09
  SPEAKER_03: I still go see these bands,
• 1:10:11
  SPEAKER_03: some of these new bands,
• 1:10:12
  SPEAKER_03: and I won't name any names,
• 1:10:13
  but I swear they're still just standing there in T-shirts and
• 1:10:17
  jeans looking at
• 1:10:18
  SPEAKER_03: their shoes,
• 1:10:19
  SPEAKER_03: kind of the way the grunge thing was.
• 1:10:21
  I mean,
• 1:10:21
  I've went and seen a lot of new bands lately that have big
• 1:10:24
  deals that are out touring.
• 1:10:26
  SPEAKER_03: Do you agree with me?
• 1:10:27
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 1:10:28
  SPEAKER_01: Well, Daryl, would you ever consider wearing a miter on stage?
• 1:10:32
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 1:10:34
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know, maybe.
• 1:10:36
  SPEAKER_01: Or perhaps you could wear it sideways like a rally cap.
• 1:10:40
  SPEAKER_03: There you go.
• 1:10:42
  Well,
• 1:10:42
  if I get bored of the two I wear now,
• 1:10:44
  I'm going to credit you with that one.
• 1:10:46
  SPEAKER_03: If you ever see me out there with one, you get full credit.
• 1:10:50
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 1:10:50
  SPEAKER_02: Well,
• 1:10:51
  SPEAKER_02: Daryl,
• 1:10:52
  SPEAKER_02: in a lot of reviews that I see out there,
• 1:10:54
  SPEAKER_02: your vocals take a lot of comparison to...
• 1:10:58
  SPEAKER_02: To Ted Nugent's material, would you consider yourself a Derek St.
• 1:11:03
  SPEAKER_02: Holmes type or a Charlie Hewn type?
• 1:11:05
  SPEAKER_03: I think I've got a bit of Derek in me.
• 1:11:09
  SPEAKER_03: I use my range.
• 1:11:13
  SPEAKER_03: You'll see a wide range on that record.
• 1:11:16
  SPEAKER_03: From a song like Mildog Blues that has that low kind of register,
• 1:11:20
  SPEAKER_03: but then it goes high in the breaks,
• 1:11:23
  SPEAKER_03: which is kind of that Derek St.
• 1:11:26
  SPEAKER_03: Holmes tone.
• 1:11:28
  SPEAKER_03: And also, you'll just hear it throughout the CD.
• 1:11:31
  SPEAKER_03: I know what people are talking about.
• 1:11:32
  SPEAKER_03: I do little breaks, like in that song, Give an Inch, Take a Mile.
• 1:11:35
  SPEAKER_03: There's this crazy laugh in it.
• 1:11:37
  SPEAKER_03: That register is that stranglehold register.
• 1:11:41
  SPEAKER_03: It's up there.
• 1:11:43
  SPEAKER_03: And it's pretty clean, too.
• 1:11:45
  SPEAKER_03: So also,
• 1:11:46
  SPEAKER_03: I get that Bon Scott kind of because of that,
• 1:11:48
  SPEAKER_03: too,
• 1:11:48
  SPEAKER_03: because of that clean kind of high pitch.
• 1:11:53
  SPEAKER_03: I get compared to Bon quite a bit, but...
• 1:11:56
  SPEAKER_03: I'm glad to get away from that,
• 1:11:58
  SPEAKER_03: because if you listen to Test Drive x 5 from six years ago,
• 1:12:02
  SPEAKER_03: it's undeniable I don't sound a lot like Bon Scott.
• 1:12:06
  SPEAKER_03: The real reason for that,
• 1:12:07
  SPEAKER_03: and I'll be completely honest,
• 1:12:08
  SPEAKER_03: I had a Bon Scott tribute band together before I put Auto Man together,
• 1:12:13
  SPEAKER_03: just to get my chops together.
• 1:12:15
  SPEAKER_03: I put this band together.
• 1:12:17
  It was a tribute to Bon Scott,
• 1:12:19
  and we did about 35 clubs up here in Canada.
• 1:12:23
  SPEAKER_03: And that's all I did.
• 1:12:24
  I just put it together just so I could get out and sing three
• 1:12:27
  sets a night.
• 1:12:28
  SPEAKER_03: And it was all AC, DC, Bond, Scott, which is challenging to sing.
• 1:12:34
  And if I could get through that,
• 1:12:35
  I figured I could move on and do the original thing.
• 1:12:38
  So I think when I tracked Test Drive x5,
• 1:12:42
  I was really mentally in the AC,
• 1:12:44
  DC headspace.
• 1:12:47
  SPEAKER_03: I'm glad that I've got away from that.
• 1:12:49
  SPEAKER_03: And as the co-producer that worked on my record,
• 1:12:52
  SPEAKER_03: Greg Looper,
• 1:12:52
  SPEAKER_03: with me,
• 1:12:53
  SPEAKER_03: he said,
• 1:12:54
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:12:54
  SPEAKER_03: this record here,
• 1:12:55
  SPEAKER_03: Pocket Change,
• 1:12:56
  SPEAKER_03: this is Daryl singing for the first time.
• 1:12:59
  SPEAKER_03: This is really you.
• 1:13:00
  SPEAKER_03: This is your voice.
• 1:13:02
  SPEAKER_03: So I'm just...
• 1:13:03
  SPEAKER_03: I'm really stoked about that.
• 1:13:04
  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 1:13:05
  SPEAKER_01: just for the record,
• 1:13:05
  SPEAKER_01: Daryl,
• 1:13:06
  I'm sure there are a lot of 70s groupies out there that had a
• 1:13:10
  little Derek in them
• 1:13:11
  SPEAKER_01: as well,
• 1:13:11
  SPEAKER_01: so just to let you know.
• 1:13:15
  SPEAKER_03: I bet.
• 1:13:16
  SPEAKER_03: I have to agree with you.
• 1:13:17
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sure there is.
• 1:13:21
  SPEAKER_03: You put it so well, Neely.
• 1:13:23
  SPEAKER_01: Aren't you glad you came on the show tonight?
• 1:13:26
  SPEAKER_03: You're making my night, man.
• 1:13:27
  SPEAKER_03: I'm having a great time.
• 1:13:29
  SPEAKER_03: I needed some cheering up.
• 1:13:30
  SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
• 1:13:30
  SPEAKER_03: I've been working too hard on this damn record.
• 1:13:33
  SPEAKER_03: This administrative stuff is driving me nuts.
• 1:13:37
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 1:13:38
  SPEAKER_02: Well,
• 1:13:38
  SPEAKER_02: Daryl,
• 1:13:38
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 1:13:38
  SPEAKER_02: obviously doing Auto Man,
• 1:13:40
  SPEAKER_02: very different from what you were doing,
• 1:13:41
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 1:13:42
  SPEAKER_02: both with Laidlaw and with Killer Dwarves.
• 1:13:45
  SPEAKER_02: Is it easier or harder for you to be...
• 1:13:49
  SPEAKER_02: You know,
• 1:13:50
  SPEAKER_02: the leader,
• 1:13:50
  SPEAKER_02: and by saying that,
• 1:13:52
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 1:13:52
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 1:13:53
  SPEAKER_02: obviously when it's your project,
• 1:13:54
  SPEAKER_02: you can have a lot more,
• 1:13:56
  you can lend a lot more direction to the songwriting and the
• 1:14:00
  style and the music
• 1:14:01
  SPEAKER_02: playing and everything,
• 1:14:02
  SPEAKER_02: whereas the drummer,
• 1:14:03
  SPEAKER_02: you just kind of take somebody else's songs a lot of times.
• 1:14:06
  SPEAKER_02: I mean,
• 1:14:06
  SPEAKER_02: you certainly add some of your own feel to it,
• 1:14:09
  SPEAKER_02: but for the most part,
• 1:14:10
  SPEAKER_02: you're playing against what the other person's idea was.
• 1:14:14
  SPEAKER_02: Is it different?
• 1:14:15
  SPEAKER_02: Is it easier, harder, or more comfortable, or what?
• 1:14:18
  SPEAKER_03: Well, great question.
• 1:14:21
  SPEAKER_03: Really,
• 1:14:22
  SPEAKER_03: throughout the Killer Dwarfs career,
• 1:14:25
  SPEAKER_03: I took a real role in the leader part of that band,
• 1:14:30
  SPEAKER_03: as in I was politically involved with decision-making,
• 1:14:33
  SPEAKER_03: with management and all that.
• 1:14:34
  I was really close to that,
• 1:14:35
  and I've always had that kind of attitude in rock-roll.
• 1:14:39
  SPEAKER_03: I'm more of a businessman, really.
• 1:14:41
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 1:14:41
  I've always had my ear to the ground and knew everything that
• 1:14:44
  was happening in my
• 1:14:45
  SPEAKER_03: career business-wise.
• 1:14:47
  Writing-wise,
• 1:14:48
  you know,
• 1:14:49
  I've always been not the main writer in those bands.
• 1:14:52
  SPEAKER_03: You know, Russ and Mike were the main writers in The Dwarfs.
• 1:14:55
  SPEAKER_03: I was more of an arranger in that band.
• 1:14:57
  So this is a good question you're asking me because this is why
• 1:15:00
  I am so fulfilled
• 1:15:02
  SPEAKER_03: now as a player because I am a singer-songwriter now for the first time.
• 1:15:08
  SPEAKER_03: And that is a giant hat to wear, you know.
• 1:15:12
  SPEAKER_03: And if you put out a record and those songs are...
• 1:15:16
  SPEAKER_03: are not that strong,
• 1:15:17
  SPEAKER_03: then you're the one that created those bad songs,
• 1:15:20
  SPEAKER_03: and you're the one that takes the fall,
• 1:15:22
  SPEAKER_03: and you're the one that'll take the criticism.
• 1:15:25
  SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
• 1:15:27
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 1:15:29
  SPEAKER_03: it's really an awesome feeling,
• 1:15:31
  SPEAKER_03: and like I said,
• 1:15:33
  SPEAKER_03: there's no,
• 1:15:34
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:15:34
  SPEAKER_03: there's no,
• 1:15:36
  SPEAKER_03: we're a band,
• 1:15:37
  SPEAKER_03: it's not just me.
• 1:15:39
  SPEAKER_03: There's no I, and I'm not the whole band.
• 1:15:43
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I share it with the other three members,
• 1:15:46
  SPEAKER_03: And Carlton is definitely 50%,
• 1:15:48
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:15:50
  SPEAKER_03: hands down,
• 1:15:51
  SPEAKER_03: of the writer of Auto Man,
• 1:15:52
  SPEAKER_03: lyrics and music.
• 1:15:54
  SPEAKER_03: So we share the writing 50%.
• 1:15:57
  SPEAKER_02: Look at your screen right now.
• 1:16:00
  SPEAKER_02: If you're tired of the hide-and-seek games with big tech,
• 1:16:04
  SPEAKER_02: where links disappear and episodes get throttled,
• 1:16:08
  SPEAKER_02: I've got the fix.

  SPEAKER_01: Well,
• 1:17:49
  SPEAKER_01: as cordial and humble as you come off there,
• 1:17:52
  SPEAKER_01: Daryl,
• 1:17:52
  SPEAKER_01: it would have never occurred to me what a glory hound you are.
• 1:18:00
  SPEAKER_03: So this is the straight guy versus you two guys, eh?
• 1:18:06
  SPEAKER_03: I love that.
• 1:18:10
  SPEAKER_03: I had trouble getting that out even.
• 1:18:12
  SPEAKER_03: It was so much bullshit.
• 1:18:14
  SPEAKER_03: It's hard for me to say that, Neely.
• 1:18:16
  Well,
• 1:18:16
  it's not even close to the whipping Russ took when he was here
• 1:18:19
  in the studio.
• 1:18:20
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'll have to get a copy of that.
• 1:18:23
  SPEAKER_03: Would you send me that?
• 1:18:25
  SPEAKER_03: I know.
• 1:18:26
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 1:18:27
  Well,
• 1:18:29
  Daryl,
• 1:18:29
  the new CD called Pocket Change from Auto Man,
• 1:18:33
  and it is a solid CD.
• 1:18:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's a long time in coming.
• 1:18:38
  SPEAKER_01: I know you're very proud of it.
• 1:18:39
  SPEAKER_01: I can hear the pride in your voice and just talking about it.
• 1:18:44
  Is there anything else about this CD that we haven't touched on
• 1:18:48
  that you'd like
• 1:18:48
  SPEAKER_01: fans to know about?
• 1:18:52
  SPEAKER_03: Well, not really, except that it's
• 1:18:57
  SPEAKER_03: I produced it, and then I brought in Greg Looper to help me co-produce.
• 1:19:03
  The best thing I can tell fans about this CD is that I could
• 1:19:07
  have went in,
• 1:19:08
  SPEAKER_03: and you guys will be interested in this too,
• 1:19:11
  SPEAKER_03: I really could have went in and produced the shit out of this record.
• 1:19:14
  SPEAKER_03: I could have went in and multi-tracked guitars for days.
• 1:19:18
  SPEAKER_03: I could have done vocal overdubs and take after take,
• 1:19:23
  SPEAKER_03: and I could have spent so much more time on the disc.
• 1:19:26
  SPEAKER_03: But
• 1:19:27
  I really wanted this pocket change CD to be able to be
• 1:19:32
  performed live by my band to the bone.
• 1:19:36
  It was very important to me that we could go recreate the feel
• 1:19:40
  of that record and
• 1:19:41
  SPEAKER_03: sound of that record,
• 1:19:42
  SPEAKER_03: including all the backing vocals,
• 1:19:44
  SPEAKER_03: because my other two guys sing.
• 1:19:47
  SPEAKER_03: It was very important to me that we go out,
• 1:19:50
  SPEAKER_03: and if you came to a show to see Auto Man,
• 1:19:53
  SPEAKER_03: that's what you would get live,
• 1:19:54
  SPEAKER_03: just louder.
• 1:19:56
  SPEAKER_03: And so it's a very honest recording.
• 1:19:59
  SPEAKER_03: It's not overproduced.
• 1:20:02
  SPEAKER_03: And that was very important to me.
• 1:20:04
  SPEAKER_03: But I think it's very sonic,
• 1:20:06
  a sonic-tight record that stands up with really anybody out
• 1:20:11
  there right now that's
• 1:20:11
  SPEAKER_03: a rock band.
• 1:20:13
  SPEAKER_03: And so that's a little tidbit that I thought I'd give you there.
• 1:20:16
  SPEAKER_03: And other than that,
• 1:20:18
  SPEAKER_03: it is coming out worldwide on March 17th,
• 1:20:22
  SPEAKER_03: and it'll be at all retail and download in the U.S.
• 1:20:25
  SPEAKER_03: and Canada.
• 1:20:27
  SPEAKER_03: So you can get it at all your places,
• 1:20:29
  SPEAKER_03: Best Buy and Walmart and iTunes online and all the download,
• 1:20:34
  SPEAKER_03: Rhapsody,
• 1:20:34
  SPEAKER_03: wherever you feel like you want to go.
• 1:20:38
  SPEAKER_03: If you're actually going to purchase it, you can go there to do it.
• 1:20:42
  SPEAKER_03: And so that's it.
• 1:20:44
  Well,
• 1:20:44
  do you feel that it'll surpass the first week's sales of
• 1:20:47
  Chinese democracy?
• 1:20:52
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, man, I don't have any expectations.
• 1:20:55
  to tell you the truth nearly about sales these days you know I
• 1:20:59
  I don't know what to
• 1:21:00
  expect and I don't expect too much all I know is that this
• 1:21:04
  we're living in a new
• 1:21:05
  time of rock and roll there's no doubt about that and you know
• 1:21:09
  the way I have my
• 1:21:10
  label set up and everything I don't have to sell millions of
• 1:21:14
  records to come out on
• 1:21:16
  SPEAKER_03: top on this I really don't you know I
• 1:21:19
  SPEAKER_03: It's a different time.
• 1:21:21
  It's not like the big deal that The Killer Dwarfs had with Epic
• 1:21:24
  back in the day.
• 1:21:24
  SPEAKER_03: We had to sell millions of records just to recoup.
• 1:21:27
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I only have to sell thousands now, really.
• 1:21:30
  SPEAKER_03: It's a different element now.
• 1:21:33
  SPEAKER_03: It's really different.
• 1:21:33
  SPEAKER_03: I just want to get out on the road.
• 1:21:35
  SPEAKER_03: That's all I really care about.
• 1:21:36
  SPEAKER_03: I just want to get out and tour.
• 1:21:38
  In the immortal words of ACDC,
• 1:21:41
  it's a long way to the top when you want to rock and roll,
• 1:21:44
  right?
• 1:21:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 1:21:45
  SPEAKER_03: And I would know it more than anyone being in my 40s now.
• 1:21:49
  SPEAKER_01: Holy shit, you're ancient.
• 1:21:52
  SPEAKER_01: All right, well, Daryl, the fans can find you over at automan.ca.
• 1:21:57
  SPEAKER_01: That's A-U-T-O-M-A-N dot C-A.

  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think we're covering it.
• 1:22:43
  SPEAKER_03: You know what, guys?
• 1:22:44
  SPEAKER_03: I really appreciate you having me on, man.
• 1:22:46
  SPEAKER_03: It means a lot to me,
• 1:22:47
  and I really appreciate you just getting me to airplay and
• 1:22:51
  helping spread the word

  SPEAKER_01: All right, Darrell.

  Well,
• 1:23:15
  we always ask our guests the traditional classic metal show
• 1:23:19
  question.
• 1:23:20
  SPEAKER_01: How has Lemmy from Motorhead influenced your career?
• 1:23:25
  SPEAKER_03: He's made my drinking skills the top of my game.
• 1:23:29
  I've never been such an amazing drinker in the last few years
• 1:23:33
  because they'll let me in.
• 1:23:34
  SPEAKER_03: I thank him for that.
• 1:23:35
  SPEAKER_03: I can slam Jack Daniels still at my age, like no tomorrow.

  SPEAKER_03: Paddy's Day, don't you know?
• 1:23:51
  SPEAKER_01: Excellent.
• 1:23:52
  all right all right daryl uh it's been a lot of fun so uh we
• 1:23:56
  always let the artist
• 1:23:57
  pick a closing song from their new disc so uh what should we
• 1:24:00
  play and maybe tell us
• 1:24:01
  a story about it um let me think well actually uh let's play
• 1:24:07
  the single this this
• 1:24:08
  is going to be the first single actually that's officially
• 1:24:10
  going to go to radio
• 1:24:11
  SPEAKER_03: it's called dig in deep second track i believe on on the disc and uh
• 1:24:18
  SPEAKER_03: It's got a different flavor to it.
• 1:24:21
  I don't have a whole lot to say about it,
• 1:24:24
  actually,
• 1:24:24
  lyrically or anything.
• 1:24:25
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's kind of self-explanatory.
• 1:24:28
  Pocket change is in the lyrics,
• 1:24:30
  so I ended up using that as kind of a coin.
• 1:24:35
  SPEAKER_03: That's what the title track is called.
• 1:24:39
  But Carlton Lockhart,
• 1:24:41
  my guitar player,
• 1:24:41
  I will talk about him just quickly.
• 1:24:43
  SPEAKER_03: This kid is amazing.
• 1:24:45
  SPEAKER_03: He plays with his fingers.
• 1:24:46
  SPEAKER_03: left-handed, upside down.
• 1:24:48
  SPEAKER_03: He's kind of like a Jeff Beck finesse type player.
• 1:24:52
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, you hear a difference.
• 1:24:54
  SPEAKER_03: He's not just your ordinary guitar player.
• 1:24:56
  SPEAKER_03: He's undiscovered.
• 1:24:57
  SPEAKER_03: He's a real talent.
• 1:24:59
  SPEAKER_03: And,
• 1:25:00
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 1:25:00
  I could see this kid on Guitar Player magazine after our first
• 1:25:03
  real tour in the
• 1:25:04
  SPEAKER_03: U.S.
• 1:25:04
  SPEAKER_03: because he's very unique.
• 1:25:06
  SPEAKER_03: And he shines in this song.
• 1:25:08
  SPEAKER_03: You can really hear the feel.
• 1:25:11
  SPEAKER_03: Like I said, he doesn't use a pick.
• 1:25:12
  SPEAKER_03: He plays with his fingers like the Mark Knopfler type player.
• 1:25:15
  SPEAKER_03: But he's a rock guitar player.
• 1:25:17
  SPEAKER_03: And his favorite artists are the Rolling Stones and Jeff Beck.
• 1:25:23
  SPEAKER_03: That's sort of his favorite artists, Keith Richards and Jeff Beck.
