- 4:14Be home yet? Chris may be under attack.
- 4:18Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to monitor the situation
- 4:23from here. I'm not quite sure what
- 4:31appropriate near death experience music is.
- 4:36Maybe like that suspense. That's the wrong story.
- 5:12That's definitely not Dave from Ireland, ladies and gentlemen,
- 5:15that's oh Jesus. Chris has been Chris has
- 5:22definitely been abducted. I don't know dude.
- 5:23Nobody was there. Chris has been abducted, ladies
- 5:25and gentlemen. That is not a ghost.
- 5:27That is not Dave from Ireland. What a scary ghost.
- 5:31That is not Dave from Ireland. That's what I'm saying.
- 5:34When you were coming back, I'm like, he's been abducted.
- 5:36It's not Dave. I don't know where Dave's at.
- 5:39Dave's been gone for a while now.
- 5:40I know I got to dial him up. I found him on the on the
- 5:44streets. I remember Dave.
- 5:45I do? I wondered.
- 5:50Oh, he can't hear me. I keep fucking dropping shit
- 5:55man. I was talking to you.
- 5:56I'm like, oh, he can't hear me. I'm that smart.
- 6:01I can't hear you, man. I was giving Lord she's got
- 6:04captain. What episode do you think that
- 6:07was 45? 50 That was way early in the
- 6:09days, man. I didn't, I didn't know where
- 6:11Dave. I don't even know where Dave's
- 6:13face is. I'm sure it's behind me in my in
- 6:15my cabinet, but you know, so. Honestly, that was one of the
- 6:19best days ever on a podcast, by the way.
- 6:21Dave, Dave, we'll get Dave back on.
- 6:23So so I told you I, I told you my my buddy Larry Gonzalez.
- 6:27Hey, Larry. I don't know if he watches the
- 6:28show or not, but you should because I just name dropped you.
- 6:32He posted a thing about Ozzy's new documentary And I'm going to
- 6:37do this. You know how we keep getting
- 6:41blocked on YouTube and shit? I do I have a question.
- 6:44OK. How can these people do these?
- 6:48Remember I told you about the charismatic voice?
- 6:50That girl that does like the here's why the singer is so good
- 6:54kind of videos. She's an alpha singer.
- 6:56How does she get away with that? Because she's got to be
- 6:59monetized. She has well over 1,000,000
- 7:00subscribers. She has to be.
- 7:02So how does she get to do a 28 minute video on why?
- 7:07Dio is a great singer and I'm super appreciative that she gets
- 7:10to do that. Absolutely.
- 7:12But when we're trying to explain why we love a certain band, we
- 7:15get blocked. So if anybody out there knows
- 7:18why, let us know, right? That would be great because we
- 7:22would like to talk way more music and play way more music.
- 7:25But yes, you guys don't get to hear it because they keep
- 7:28shutting us down. South the camera something is
- 7:30Dan. It's like what a convicts or
- 7:32something more. Take I just thought of that at
- 7:33work today. I'm like, I watched these 30
- 7:35minute explanations of why Ozzy's a great singer, Dio's a
- 7:39great singer, Hetfield's a great singer, you know?
- 7:42And I'm like I said, I'm super appreciative she's making a
- 7:45living at it and doing it. I'm just not quite sure what
- 7:47we're doing wrong, right? I I hear you.
- 7:51I'm trying to find something, so I don't know.
- 7:54I know you are. No, no.
- 7:55You're good. You're good.
- 7:56Where's my search, man? There it is.
- 7:58Like Arsenio Hall, Things that make you go, ladies and
- 8:01gentlemen. Hey, hey, Joe, where are you?
- 8:04Joe? Joe.
- 8:07I don't have all the answers but I got a lot of questions.
- 8:10Got a lot of questions. That's my quote.
- 8:13My head spins round and round and round.
- 8:16Joe, come on, where the fuck is it?
- 8:19Type something you swear. I think Chris just wanted me to
- 8:21hang on to my guitar so you guys knew what was going on in my
- 8:24head when I don't have a guitar in my hand.
- 8:27So yeah, if I see if I see my absent minded sometimes it's
- 8:31because I got music going on. You don't seem I wanted people
- 8:35to see the so I so I I messaged Dave Mastain because he told me
- 8:40to message him to get him on the show.
- 8:42He he has not, he has not responded yet.
- 8:44He's busy getting ready to go on tour, so we'll forgive.
- 8:47It well, OK, so now I want to show you something though real
- 8:49quick here, because that can this can possibly answer the
- 8:52question you have about how do people get away with shit that
- 8:55we can't get away with? OK, do tell.
- 8:58Well, I'm going to show you. I'm going to share the screen.
- 9:00Look at him. This, this this is Joey from
- 9:02Syracuse. OK, Joey's coming on the show.
- 9:06I've been talking to him for quite a while.
- 9:07I'm super. I follow him.
- 9:09Yes, he's awesome. Yes, he's way awesome.
- 9:11He's I. Follow him too, I love his shit.
- 9:13So. So we have.
- 9:15We've been talking. Shit, in the nicest way
- 9:17possible, Joey. Yeah, yeah, nice way possible.
- 9:20I got to find it again. So I'm going to tell you when we
- 9:22we've been talking. Oh, it's the wrong app.
- 9:24Wrong app, wrong app. Yeah, that's awesome.
- 9:26I love his channel. Yeah.
- 9:30Come on, Joe, where are you? OK, so Joe, we were talking on
- 9:34next Friday, next Friday. I'm so it's the what got to get
- 9:42my calendar. Yeah, I don't know what that is
- 9:45either. I either know it's a work day or
- 9:49not a work day. It's the, It's the 17th at
- 9:5811:00. So which I got it, I got to
- 10:00tell, I got to tell why I'm thinking about it.
- 10:04Gambino I I triple booked this and I can't do that.
- 10:10Also, do you not have the time? Because if you, you don't have
- 10:14to cancel it if you don't want to.
- 10:16Friday's pretty wide open for me.
- 10:18I don't I just don't think we can have three people that would
- 10:20be that would be a a busy day that.
- 10:23'D be a long day, a lot a lot of editing.
- 10:28And it's it's my fault on the 31st.
- 10:31It's a lot of work doing this, ladies and gentlemen, I used to
- 10:33book our gig. So if that's why you never hear
- 10:36me get excited or lose my patience with Chris because it
- 10:40the logistics involved in doing things months out, he does a
- 10:45stellar job. So.
- 10:49Thank you, Mike. You know, I mean what I say, if
- 10:52you weren't doing a stellar job, we'd have a different
- 10:54conversation. But this has been an awesome
- 10:57experience, and being in real estate, I figured that was your
- 11:01Forte, right? You're good at organizing
- 11:03things. Jack and the people.
- 11:04So, yeah. So Joe, so Joe's going to come
- 11:07on the show on the 17th at 11 AM post Standard Time, Pacific
- 11:11Standard Time. But this is this is the cool
- 11:13thing about him. He does, he does, he takes, he
- 11:15takes his approach to all these songs.
- 11:19That's an interesting one. Chick swinging.
- 11:21But she's not doing that. No, she's literally watching the
- 11:25video just like we were. Gotcha.
- 11:27OK. So yeah, so this is yeah.
- 11:29So this is all his stuff that he does.
- 11:31And he he really does. He kind of spins it and it's a
- 11:34cool thing. So I saw him post this when he's
- 11:37talking about new chapter, new passion.
- 11:39So I'm like, dude, let's get you on the show.
- 11:40Let's talk about this stuff. Let's help promote you, you
- 11:42know. Absolutely so.
- 11:44And that's funny that we were following him apart from each
- 11:47other. We just figured it out right
- 11:48now. I love that huge channel.
- 11:50Yeah, so just all and he does, he plays all this stuff.

- 12:13stuff now because I'm pretty sure the Chris and Mike show
- 12:15follows him too. So check this out.
- 12:17I had no idea he's the voice of the WWE and AEW themes for the
- 12:21big show. I knew he's I knew he was.

- 13:33bringing us a whole bunch of stuff in in November too.

- 13:42for yourself, myself and our listening audience, which is
- 13:47expanded drastically. Expanding.
- 13:50We we started this two years ago and the only people that cared
- 13:54was me, you, Mama Kay and sunshine couple other people

- 15:02we need to get Lord and the devil needs to be playing on
- 15:04every single station Well. There's no reason it needs to be
- 15:06in movies. It needs to be in TV series,
- 15:11Netflix. The song is just everything that
- 15:15it needs to be. It the message gets across, the
- 15:17music is outstanding, the recording quality is over up to
- 15:22par. We need to share that on our
- 15:25Facebook page. I keep meaning to do that and I
- 15:27haven't done it. I think that's all.
- 15:29There's very few times in the last 10 years where a song has
- 15:32really spoke to me to the point where I can't stop listening to
- 15:35it. So great job, Dave.
- 15:37Yeah, absolutely, Dave. That's what that song did to me.
- 15:40It got stuck in my head and every time I think of it I got

- 16:27Bruce is genuine. He is straight up a genuine
- 16:30human who wants nothing more than the artist to get paid for
- 16:34what they're doing and be successful and bring them to the
- 16:37forefront. That's that's if I had to define
- 16:40him in any way. That's that's how he is.
- 16:42Carson Lee, he's got coming on the show.
- 16:44We just talked about him. We got him coming on I think in

- 17:31October 21st. Monkey.
- 17:32Wait for that one too. Right.
- 17:34Tell the world whom who Monkey Guitars builds guitars for Mike.
- 17:37So the one person in his life who is also one of my favorite
- 17:43guitar players is Peter Clip from Candlebox.
- 17:46And this guy built a guitar for him that Peter fell in love with
- 17:50and cannot stop playing. He plays at every show on the
- 17:53Candle Box reunion. Tour right on.
- 17:55And he's just so excited that he built him another one.
- 17:58I think he's got it already. I'm pretty sure it's done, but
- 18:00I'm super excited to talk to that guy too.
- 18:02So I'm happy for him. I'm happy for his success, Chris
- 18:05and I understand what it takes to start a vision and see it
- 18:10through to fruition, right? So when something like that
- 18:13happens to you, that's your ultimate goal, but you never
- 18:17really expect it to happen, right?
- 18:20No. That guy was his idol, just like
- 18:22he was my idol. I was standing there.
- 18:24Chris was right behind me at the concert.
- 18:26That's how we met. I was there in awe of this guy's
- 18:29guitar playing, his tone. Peter, if you ever happen to
- 18:34listen to this, you're more than welcome to come on here for as
- 18:36long as you want to talk, because I would love to pick
- 18:39your brain. Well, and here's and here's
- 18:41here's Monkey Guitars page. So this is super.

- 24:22helping us get on the show is is fantastic.
- 24:25Here's another fun thing. This is it's had a squirrel
- 24:28moment. What I wanted what we were
- 24:30talking about before the show started the day was this so
- 24:34Ozzy's new documentary just dropped last night or two days
- 24:38ago on Paramount. It's called no Ozzy, no escape
- 24:42from now. And and I got to tell you from
- 24:46from somebody who grew up and a lot of people have grown up with
- 24:50Ozzy's music from one way or another.
- 24:52It it it hit home on a on a lot of different levels.
- 24:56It talks about how I don't want to give it away because it's a
- 25:00really good documentary. You just need to watch it.
- 25:02But there's going to be some things that you're going to see
- 25:03it. It's going to resonate with you
- 25:05as a musician as it did with me. I was talking to Bruce about
- 25:08this earlier that you just don't you don't realize the impact of
- 25:13a fan base and being in front of people have on you.
- 25:17And it talks about them. No.
- 25:18And it talks about the dynamic of he and Sharon, you know, for
- 25:2241 years were non-stop on the road at one time raising 3 kids
- 25:28all under to the age of three. Mind you, the only other
- 25:32musicians I ever I ever know that have done that were Pat
- 25:34Benatar and Neil Dorado because they raised their kids on the
- 25:36road too. But Pat and Neil, I don't think
- 25:41had the substance. No.
- 25:44Issues you had so just the dynamic of that and then the
- 25:49documentary got Jack Kelly and Amy talking all three of their
- 25:52kids. Amy's always kind of shield away
- 25:53from the spotlight. But but she was the oldest of
- 25:56the three kids between Ozzy and Sharon.
- 25:59It's I can't I cannot like just impress you upon the fact that
- 26:04you you got to watch this thing. This is it's amazing.
- 26:08It's amazing documentary for somebody who who 115,000,000
- 26:13albums worldwide gross or $200 million in in tours, the most
- 26:20successful artist, solo artist in the history of music.
- 26:25So that's impressive. So watch that show.
- 26:27It's on paramount. It's it's, it's, it's it's the
- 26:30Aussies no escape from now. It's it's sad.
- 26:34It's it's funny. I cried like I don't cry.
- 26:38I don't cry for anything, man. And shit you not, at the end of
- 26:41it, I was, I was fucking rolling up like a baby.
- 26:43Because it's just. It's just.
- 26:45You know why I feel bad? Because I cry at shit like that,
- 26:49but I don't cry when you're supposed to.
- 26:51Yeah, it doesn't matter the to me, the the the reason why I
- 26:55got. It doesn't matter to me either,
- 26:56but you know me. I'm like, I feel not only my own
- 27:00feelings, I feel everybody else's feelings around me.
- 27:03So true, I'm hyper aware of how other people expect me to react
- 27:10in certain situations right? And it's difficult when I
- 27:14disappoint them. Yeah, I can see that.
- 27:17You know, because I don't do it maliciously.
- 27:20I do it to protect me, right? Everything I do in my life after
- 27:24recovery is to protect my Peace of Mind and my physical being,
- 27:28right? Whether it be I have to rest, I
- 27:30have to be alone, I have to be with people, whatever.
- 27:34But yeah, yeah. The, the thing that, that I
- 27:38think hit me was the fact that, that it takes 25 years once your
- 27:45first album's released, you have 25 years to be, you have to wait
- 27:5025 years to be deducted in the Hall of Fame.
- 27:52Well, Ozzy, Ozzy did it. It took them 44 years to get him
- 27:55to the Hall of Fame, which is ridiculous.
- 27:57And in the, in the, in the documentary, Sharon even points
- 27:59it out. She's like, she says she's told
- 28:01these people at the Hall, like, why do you wait so long?
- 28:05Not just for Ozzy, but for everyone.
- 28:07Well, you know, in his case, I think that he got blackballed
- 28:12until society caught up to the fact that everything that the
- 28:18previous generation had dubbed him as was fucking utterly
- 28:23ridiculous, right? I think that's really what
- 28:28happened is I think he got blackballed just for the simple
- 28:30fact that the stories were out there.
- 28:32He, you know, bitten the head off a bat.
- 28:35He worshipped the devil. Your children were.
- 28:38Yeah, your children were killing themselves because they were
- 28:41listening to his music. Just everything that was utterly
- 28:44ridiculous. Yeah.
- 28:46So it took getting our generation, I guess, to the
- 28:49point where we were adults, and we knew that that was ridiculous
- 28:53because if one kid killed himself because he was listening
- 28:57to Ozzy and that he was a troubled child, and that's
- 28:59horrible, but none of my friends ever killed themselves listening
- 29:03to Ozzy. We just rocked out and smoked
- 29:05some cigarettes and drank some beer and you know.
- 29:09And there I saw something where this, because once he passed
- 29:11away, there's all kinds of snippets and reels dropping all
- 29:14over the place. And there was, there was an
- 29:15interview with him about that, about the, the kid who committed
- 29:18suicide and suicide solution, he explains.
- 29:21You know. Yeah, he had to go testify
- 29:22before Congress over that bullshit we wasted taxpayer
- 29:25dollars on. This.
- 29:26Yeah. Yeah.
- 29:26And he's one of the greatest thing he said with that.
- 29:29Where were the parents? Where were the parents?
- 29:31I wrote a song. Where were the parents?
- 29:34Exactly? Like, so you're going to pass
- 29:37your guilt of not being there for your child, right?
- 29:41I mean, I understand we don't always know what's going on in
- 29:43somebody else's brain, you know? Case in point, right, But still,
- 29:49where were you when your child was walking down just dark, dark
- 29:55path of depression, right. And you know, and again, you
- 29:58can't, you can't, I'm not going to blame the parents because
- 30:01it's, it's hard enough. You're like, we've been touched
- 30:02by that and it's, it's, it's suicide, suicide.
- 30:05And it sucks, but don't don't blame don't blame a musician who
- 30:10who did nothing to warrant you accusing him of killing
- 30:18themselves because he listened to suicide solution.
- 30:19The lyrics for suicide solution are just that.
- 30:22It's it's kind of anti suicide. It's like if I keep thinking.
- 30:24Completely anti suicide song. Let's find the lyrics, shall we?
- 30:28Please. Because these things are
- 30:31important. You know, I'm not just being
- 30:32flippant and saying, you know, it wasn't his fault.
- 30:36He wasn't out there putting backward masking messages or
- 30:41what. No.
- 30:41Effect. It was an effect.
- 30:43Correct. That whole Satanic Panic thing
- 30:47of the 80s was just. Tripper Gore Tripper Gore
- 30:51Tripper fucking gore, man Tip you had to be relevant.
- 30:54Tipper Gore. Tipper Gore.
- 30:56Don't, don't, just don't get wrapped up with Jack Tripper.
- 31:00I'm sorry. My bad.
- 31:02And for those you know, Jack Tripper, John Ritter, character
- 31:04on Three's Company, Come and knock on my door.
- 31:07Knock on my door. We've been waiting for you.
- 31:10We've been waiting. Still a hilarious show if you
- 31:12watch it. Right.
- 31:15Sure. OK, so here's the lyrics.
- 31:17The suicide solution. Wine is fine.
- 31:22Whiskey's quicker. Suicide is slow with liquor.
- 31:25Take a bottle. Drown your sorrows.
- 31:26Then it floods away. Tomorrow's our way.
- 31:28Tomorrow's evil thoughts and evil do Wings cold.
- 31:32Alone you hang in ruins. Thought that you'd escape the
- 31:35Reaper. You can't escape the Master
- 31:36Keeper. That's I mean it there.
- 31:39It's a song. It's just a song, kids.
- 31:42It's it's no different. Alcohol taking control of your
- 31:45life. Right, it's it's no different
- 31:48from from Freeman, right with no, it's a Freeman that I would
- 31:54that I had the lyric to it. No, I don't believe in Jesus.
- 31:57Nothing man, nothing man. So there's a lyric and nothing,
- 32:00man, Mike and I've talked about this before where I where I,
- 32:02I'm, I'm in, I'm in the. Character of This is probably
- 32:07the only heated debate that ever happened within Nemesis, right?
- 32:10Right. Right, because it was heated.
- 32:13Yeah. So nothing man has a line in
- 32:15there was I don't believe in Jesus Christ.
- 32:18I don't believe in the afterlife.
- 32:21I don't believe what the preacher.
- 32:22Says I don't believe. Yeah, I don't believe what the
- 32:24preacher says. Yeah.
- 32:25I, I, I should I find it. Should I find the lyric?
- 32:29Yes, please. That's why we're here, man.
- 32:34We're doing things sometimes. I hate, I hate, I hate leaving
- 32:36the screen. No.
- 32:37No, no, no, no. That's the other day when I did
- 32:40it. I had to pee so bad I was going
- 32:41to pee on the floor so. Lyrics Ladies and gentlemen,
- 32:45this is just one bag. Chris Dunham has wrote a couple
- 32:48lyrics in his life. Just a couple couple he he
- 32:52killed a couple trees, as they say.
- 32:55Yep, keep tree killer. Of course, what pops up right
- 32:59away? Intervention.
- 32:59Divine. First thing that comes up first.
- 33:05Thing Bob Rouse is down all right.
- 33:09What am I looking for again? Nothing, man, Nothing.
- 33:14I don't know why. Immigrants into my way.
- 33:20Americans. Freeman 2. 3344.
- 33:58234. There's pain and whisper.
- 34:05I found pain and whisper. We're talking about that
- 34:09earlier. I just take a step from one of
- 34:31our concerts. That's old because we were just
- 34:36for an Angel on. That yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 34:38That's an old ticket for the ballroom.
- 34:40So that's where Chris and I met at the Candle Box concert.
- 34:42Ladies and gentlemen, if you're just listening, he held up a
- 34:44ticket for Desperate Angel, which was the original Nemesis
- 34:48name at the Electric Ballroom in Tempe, AZ, right down the street
- 34:52from ASU. I should really optimize this
- 35:00shit man. I don't like that song.
- 35:28Here's my. Proof.
- 35:35Proof that I was the original lead singer of Disturbed.
- 35:37That is proof right there. The original lead singer of
- 35:40Disturbed. So suck on that.
- 35:43So that was a we must have met in 94.
- 35:46We met. We met probably after that.
- 35:47Yeah, Yeah. That wasn't that.
- 35:49That didn't last very long. That was my my first real band.
- 35:52And it just, you know. I moved to Arizona in May in 93.
- 35:57Original lyrics to listen to your sin right there.
- 36:03That's the song that you all hear at the end of the podcast,
- 36:06ladies and gentlemen. It is at the end of almost
- 36:08everyone since probably episode 50 this.
- 36:15Is this is how cool this is? So I wrote this in practice and
- 36:25it has the title of this song has no name and that's what it
- 36:29says. And then I typed it up to
- 36:31nothing, man no shit, no shit. So this song has on any.
- 36:36Of that stuff I. Believe.
- 36:43I believe so. I wish I yes.
- 36:44April 1996. Awesome.
- 36:48So nothing, man. Everybody listen to me.
- 36:52I'm going to tell you how it's supposed to be.
- 36:53I'm going to be a free man. I'm going to fight until the
- 36:55end. I'm going to find the answer
- 36:56here. I'm going to make it all quite
- 36:58clear. That's Freeman.
- 37:00Is it Freeman? I think nothing man became.
- 37:04Free. Here it is now I see it because
- 37:06here it is. This is this is this is this is
- 37:09got to be my favorite riff lyric that I wrote because of the hook
- 37:12of it, the melody, because it just rolls off the tongue.
- 37:15I wrote this while I was doing lights at a play at MCC, the
- 37:19rehearsal of the play, and I had Alice In Chains playing in the
- 37:23background while I was just going to the light setting.
- 37:28And this is how this came just from that being in the
- 37:31auditorium. I think it was.
- 37:34I think it was. What fucking hell was that?
- 37:36I don't know. That's the Rooster album for
- 37:38Alice In Chains, but it's like, what can I say?
- 37:41I had isn't. That on dirt.
- 37:43Dirt. Yes.
- 37:44So what can I say? I had a bad day, sipping on a
- 37:46bottle, just wasting time away. I don't know what I've been
- 37:49told, and I don't know just where I'll go.
- 37:51I live my life, take it day by day, serve my time.
- 37:53It'll never fade away because I am perfect at the chosen one.
- 37:55I find my place. I don't need the Sonia.
- 37:58So take me now baby. How I am.
- 38:00Leave the rest. Separation of sin.
- 38:02Take me now baby. Believe me be I chose my soul in
- 38:05eternity. Now I lay 6 feet to rest.
- 38:07I got no regrets, got nothing left.
- 38:09Just the time that was spent in vain.
- 38:11Just the soul crying out of shine.
- 38:13So start at the beginning of that.
- 38:15OK. So that part, that part is that
- 38:19part. The take me now.
- 38:21Yeah, because that was the. Where'd they come in at?
- 38:31I remember. Right there.
- 38:32So right there, 234. So.
- 38:35Check me in now, baby, how I am. Leave the rare separation of
- 38:41sin. Check them now, baby.
- 38:45Leave me. Please join my soul.
- 38:49And it's turning chief now I live shit St. you rest.
- 38:55I've got no regrets. Got nothing left.
- 39:00Just a time that was spent in vain.
- 39:03Just a soul. Crying out in.
- 39:06Shame. And I don't believe in the after
- 39:10liars, don't believe in Jesus Christ.
- 39:15I don't believe in the coming man, don't believe in the
- 39:20government's pain and I don't believe in yesterday's, don't
- 39:27believe in social praise and I don't believe in the histories,
- 39:34don't believe that societies. It's different without the drums
- 39:39in the bass, man. Yeah, I realized we were going
- 39:41super slow in the. Beginning super slow, but yeah,
- 39:43so the lyric that's more like. Don't believe in Jesus Christ,
- 39:52and I don't believe in the common man.
- 39:57Don't believe in the government's plan and I don't
- 40:01believe in the yesterday's. Don't believe in social praises.
- 40:08I don't believe in history. Don't believe in society.
- 40:15Yeah. So the so yeah, so the lyric
- 40:23that that we had a debate on was was the IT was the pre course,
- 40:27right? I don't believe in the afterlife
- 40:28and I don't believe in Jesus Christ.
- 40:30I don't believe in the common man.
- 40:32I don't believe in the government's plan.
- 40:33I don't believe in yesterday's and I don't believe in the
- 40:35social praise. I don't believe in histories and
- 40:38I don't believe in societies because I'm nothing, I'm a
- 40:40nothing man. But Scott had a problem with
- 40:44with I don't believe in Jesus Christ.
- 40:46Yeah, because he was thinking of it as he was saying that, right?
- 40:51So when I finally had a chance to talk to him one-on-one.
- 40:57Right, right, right. Right.
- 40:57I basically just said, look, we're artists.
- 41:03He's an artist. Yeah.
- 41:05He may not even believe what he wrote.
- 41:08He may be writing it from a third person of somebody else
- 41:11who he created in his head. Correct.
- 41:13Exactly. Yep.
- 41:15So this guy is at the and I explained it to him and like,
- 41:18immediately you could see the understanding wash over him,
- 41:21right? Yeah, yeah.
- 41:22Like, this is a guy who is fucking desperate.
- 41:26He's just, he's at his. What's end?
- 41:29Right. He's Michael Douglas and falling
- 41:31down, right? I've had it.
- 41:33Basically, yeah, cuz, cuz here's the thing.
- 41:36OK, so just going back to what can I say, I had this.
- 41:38This is my favorite thing I've ever wrote.
- 41:40As far as rolling off the tongue, it's.
- 41:43I love the way that that one section I just figured out again
- 41:46when that where it went high from the.
- 42:01Like the same three chords forwards and backwards.
- 42:03But like you said, the flow of how that worked together was
- 42:07outstanding. Right, right, because really,
- 42:09the intro of the song, what can I say?
- 42:10I had a bad day. Sipping on a bottle, just
- 42:12wasting time away. I don't know what I've been
- 42:15told. I don't know just where I'll go.
- 42:16I've lived my life and take it day by day.
- 42:18I serve my time and it'll never fade away because I ain't the
- 42:22chosen one. I'll find my place underneath
- 42:23the song. Didn't Mike has a guitar solo
- 42:27and then a breakdown. So take me now, baby, how I am.
- 42:30Leave the rest. Separation of sin.
- 42:32Take me now baby, leave me be. I chose my soul and eternity.
- 42:35I love that line before that one too.
- 42:37Thank you. Read that again.
- 42:39So take me now, baby, how I am, leave the rest.
- 42:41Separation of sin. I fucking.
- 42:43Love the way. That take me now baby, leave me
- 42:45be. I chose my soul and eternity now
- 42:48I lay 6 feet to rest. I got no regrets man.
- 42:50Nothing left just a time that was spent in vain.
- 42:52Just a soul crying out in shame. Then I do the I don't believe
- 42:55stuff. But then it goes into now I
- 42:57won't apologize for my life and I won't apologize for damaged
- 43:00lies. That part always spoke to me
- 43:02too, because now this guy is having a conversation with
- 43:06himself within the same idea, right?
- 43:09Yes, yes. Go back to that, read that
- 43:12again. That's now here real quick.
- 43:15Squirrel moment. The reason that, and I don't
- 43:20know, she may say yes, I remember that like it was
- 43:22yesterday. Mama Kay may not even remember
- 43:25why she was never concerned about the kind of music I
- 43:28listened to, because the first thing I told her, and she always
- 43:31knew whether I was lying to her or not.
- 43:32She's my mother, right? Right, right.
- 43:34I blatantly looked at her with 100% certainty and I said 99% of
- 43:40the time I have no idea what they're saying and I really
- 43:43don't care. I'm just listening to the guitar
- 43:45and the drums and you know, that was my thing at the time.
- 43:48Yeah, yeah. So when I met you and I read
- 43:51those lyrics for the first time, other than maybe Led Zeppelin
- 43:55and, you know, their lyrics and Pink Floyd and things like that.
- 43:59Poignant bands, right? People change the world.
- 44:02Yeah. You were the first person I ever
- 44:03met that wasn't famous that I went.
- 44:05Holy shit thank you, I get it right, lyrics can be something.
- 44:12So and yeah, yeah, OK, so. OK, so now I want to apologize
- 44:16for my life, and I want to apologize for damaged lies.
- 44:19I live my life the only way I could.
- 44:21I gave my soul as no other would.
- 44:23Took my times eternally. And man, I'm grateful for my
- 44:26misery. It taught me well about my
- 44:28history. It taught me well about my
- 44:30insanity. And then it goes back into the I
- 44:33don't believe in the afterlife and I don't believe in Jesus
- 44:35Christ. I don't believe in the common
- 44:37man. I don't believe in the
- 44:38government's plan. I don't believe in yesterday's
- 44:40and I don't believe in social praise.
- 44:42I don't believe in histories. I don't believe in societies
- 44:44because I'm nothing. Nothing.
- 44:46I'm a nothing man. That's all that I am.
- 44:48And part of this I think. I had so much in common with
- 44:51that person at the time. Well, and I appreciate that and
- 44:55part of it, and I'm not going to divulge, I don't like telling
- 44:57why I wrote what I wrote, but part of it, I think, was my
- 45:00internal struggle with the, the, the faith and the, the journey I
- 45:04was walking on with, with young life and all that kind of stuff.
- 45:07And, you know, half of my soul was kind of, you know, driven.
- 45:11I wanted to be a high school passion.
- 45:12The other half of my soul I wanted, I wanted to be for like
- 45:14a better term, which is I, I wanted to be like Ozzy.
- 45:16I wanted to be on a stage in front of thousands of people
- 45:18every night. Me too.
- 45:20That's where I'm at home. That's where I'm at peace.
- 45:22It's like he talks about it in the in the documentary.
- 45:26When he did he did one song in England.
- 45:30It was, I forget what it was for some kind of festival.
- 45:32They went up and did Paranoid and he's like, I wish we did
- 45:35more than one song. And I I I the one thing I hated
- 45:40about open mics is you can only do 3 songs.
- 45:42Right. You know, I mean, it was.
- 45:44Cool, just warmed up that for three.
- 45:46Right, right. It's like you got to do more
- 45:48than just one song. So I, it's like halftime shows
- 45:51and things like that. When you're doing, when you're
- 45:54doing like the national anthem, things like that.
- 45:56I can't imagine just going up and doing one song and being
- 45:59done because if you've never been on stage, you don't
- 46:02understand. It's, it's not, it's, it's not
- 46:07a, it's a fear, but it's not a fear.
- 46:09It's. OK, I'll, I'll put it into
- 46:11perspective for you right now. OK, OK.
- 46:13I've been, what time is it we've been on here for OK, so we've
- 46:19been on here for however long, half hour, 40 minutes.
- 46:23I'm, I'm just now starting to feel like I could play something
- 46:26like if I had to record it in the studio, right?
- 46:28So that's, I don't play as often as I used to.
- 46:32I play every day, but not for the same length of time.
- 46:35So like Chris is saying, even the best artist in the world,
- 46:40their first thing that they're going to do for the day is never
- 46:43going to be the best. That's why Whitney Houston, I
- 46:46just saw you post that version of the Star Spangled Banner,
- 46:51hands down is still the best in history because she had one shot
- 46:55at that. And that was, I'm sure she
- 46:58warmed up a little bit, but that's not the same as standing
- 47:00in front of 60,000 people. No, and that was this.
- 47:04That was Super Bowl 5th, 25 and that was live.
- 47:07She didn't record that shit like a lot of them do now.
- 47:10Stapleton didn't didn't record his, but a lot of those artists
- 47:13record that live because they don't have a choice, because the
- 47:16sound system and stuff that they have, it doesn't work right.
- 47:20You need to have your gear behind you.
- 47:21But Whitney Houston fucking sang that shit right then and there
- 47:25and she nailed it. She, I mean, that is by far my
- 47:27favorite rendition ever of that Montana.
- 47:29I don't care who. And I've debated it with people.
- 47:32Chris Stapleton. Chris Stapleton's was good.
- 47:35It's not Whitney. Houston, it's not better than
- 47:36hers. No, nobody can touch what
- 47:38Whitney Houston did. Nobody.
- 47:40That's a bar that's very high. Yeah, that's why you don't cover
- 47:43Whitney Houston. Correct.
- 47:45You don't see. You don't see any Whitney
- 47:47Houston cover bands? No, there was a fucking at my
- 47:50office yesterday. Nick was listening to one of the
- 47:52one of the stations get on on Sonos and and Dixie Chicks came
- 47:56on, which I didn't know who it was a Dixie Chicks who never
- 47:58liked them, but they're covering Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks.
- 48:01I'm like, you don't do that. You don't cover Stevie Nicks,
- 48:04man. No, you just know there's one
- 48:06girl out there that did an outstanding job and she got
- 48:09famous over it. We we talked about that there
- 48:11was a chick on the cruise, I don't know name.
- 48:13The Gardner or something? Something yeah, there was there
- 48:15was the the cruise that Nick and I went on the second one, the
- 48:20the band that played the entire cruise in the in the comedy
- 48:24showcase room. She sounded like Stevie Nicks,
- 48:27like legit. And they were.
- 48:29Yeah, they. Were Here's what I'm going to
- 48:30say, yeah. OK.
- 48:32I'll agree with you that when I'm in a place where a live
- 48:36bands playing, there's certain bands that if you start playing
- 48:40instantly, I go, you better have your shit.
- 48:43Yeah, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, because you got to cover
- 48:48all those harmonies. Def Leppard.
- 48:51Def Leppard has four part harmonies.
- 48:53Right. And a lot of it's with the
- 48:54music. People don't realize that.
- 48:56Def Leppard is all live. Ladies and gentlemen, they.
- 48:58Always have been, yes. Right.
- 49:00And they're still live. They're not fucking amping and
- 49:02shit. I went and saw that with my own
- 49:05eyes, and every time somebody made fun of Def Leppard, I was
- 49:07like, you can shut the fuck up. Yeah, because I saw with my own
- 49:10eyes guys playing harmony guitar parts and singing harmony vocals
- 49:16at the same time. They weren't just playing the
- 49:18same chords to thicken it up. No, the one guy was playing the
- 49:21chord, the other guy was playing the 3rd or the 5th, and they
- 49:24were singing a harmony over the top of what Joe Elliot was
- 49:26singing, and they were doing it with perfection.
- 49:28Yep, Yep. I.
- 49:30Got. I got.
- 49:31Goosebumps right now, man. I was blown away walking out of
- 49:33that Def Leppard concert. I'm like kudos you guys kick
- 49:36ass. They may have.
- 49:38They may have looked like. They were.
- 49:42Proper pop rock yeah, they may have looked like yeah, they
- 49:44yeah, I mean, they have they may have they may have kind of felt
- 49:47like they were just this this pop rock band, but but they they
- 49:51legit fucking you know, just, you know, you have no, if you're
- 49:56not a musician, you don't know what they're doing.
- 49:58And normally every person doesn't realize what they're
- 50:00doing and the dynamic that they're creating by doing what
- 50:02they're doing and how. Hard, that is, to pull off,
- 50:05especially live. Yep, Yep.
- 50:10Agree. Those guys were outstanding,
- 50:11man, and even Joe Elliott will admit we had super good music
- 50:17with sometimes questionable lyrics.
- 50:19Right, right, right. It's like I don't know what
- 50:21poured some sugar on me means any more than you do.
- 50:24It just sounded cool with the riff that was going on at the
- 50:27time. You know it just like you said,
- 50:29it flowed off the tongue and everybody admitted instantly
- 50:33that that stupid line was going to catch on just like it did,
- 50:36right? It became a top ten hit.
- 50:38Well, and what I believe, because again, this is the
- 50:41beautiful thing about music. That's why I never really kind
- 50:44of have ever have ever really shared what what's behind my
- 50:48songs that I wrote lyrically because I want you have your own
- 50:50interpretation of it. What I took from Pour Some Sugar
- 50:54on Me was basically you're making a baby and you remove the
- 51:01phallic symbol and you pour some sugar all over the person that
- 51:06you're engaged with. That's what I equate that to.
- 51:09And if you watch the video right back in the 80s or was in the
- 51:1490s, that totally that totally I ate it.
- 51:17That totally had that in your window because you got all the
- 51:19chicks poured some sugar on me. Joe Elliot, come on.
- 51:24And you know, so 90% of Def Leppard crowd was what, female,
- 51:29OK. And the 10% of men that went
- 51:31with them to that concert got home and they poured some sugar
- 51:35on the person they took to the show.
- 51:37Just saying. And.
- 51:38As a band, when you look out there and see 80% women and 20%
- 51:43men, you know you've made it. Because the women buy all the
- 51:47stuff. They buy the posters and the
- 51:49magazines and the shirts and the hats and the pics and all the
- 51:53things, man, all the things. Music truly makes the world go
- 51:58out. And when you watch the
- 51:59documentary, the Aussie documentary, you're going to
- 52:01understand even more so how much music has the impact on
- 52:06somebody's soul and, and just what it can do to just, you got
- 52:11to watch it. Watch it tonight.
- 52:13That's I will. That's the thing that I wish I
- 52:15could give everyone is the gift to live musically in our head
- 52:19for a day. I wouldn't want to live
- 52:22musically in our heads for a day.
- 52:24I'm just saying, just the ability to sit down and go, I'm
- 52:28going to do. Yeah.
- 52:32Right. To the average person looking at
- 52:35that, when I see somebody who's never seen me play before, when
- 52:39their eyes get as big around as half dollars, I forget sometimes
- 52:43that the ability to just pick up a guitar and do doesn't apply to
- 52:55everybody. No.
- 53:08I haven't been bored since I was nine years old.
- 53:10That else doesn't exist to me, you know.
- 53:17That's the beautiful thing about Music Man.
- 53:20And the other thing too about the documentary.
- 53:22It's it's it's imagine spending 41 years on the road non-stop.
- 53:27Go, go, go. Raising a family.
- 53:29Well, just 41 years on the road, and then in that time span, you
- 53:35only put out 13 studio albums. So that tells you how much of
- 53:39that time was actually truly spent on the road.
- 53:42And then you wake up one day and you get out of bed, you go to
- 53:45the couch and that's your life for three years.
- 53:50I didn't realize either what you're going to learn in the in
- 53:52the thing when he fell one night, that he fell in LA and in
- 53:56Beverly Hills, he actually broke his neck and they went to the
- 53:59hospital. They went to the hospital and
- 54:02they sent him home because all he said they could see was
- 54:03bruising. So in my mind, you can expect a
- 54:08heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy lawsuit to be dropped against
- 54:13the doctors that eventually, I think personally watching it led
- 54:17to his physical demise because he hadn't been drinking and
- 54:20drugging for years and years and years.
- 54:22No, So that's, that's one take away that I'm interested to see
- 54:25what you think as well as anybody else that watches it,
- 54:27what you think if that that one incident because the doctors did
- 54:34things they didn't need to do, according to other doctors that
- 54:37they ended up going to and being as old as he was, I don't think
- 54:41that damage could have been undone because your brain, your
- 54:43brain, your bones, as you get older, they get less and less.
- 54:47They get more brittle, right, Because we're old.
- 54:48Sure. So it's interesting.
- 54:51It's definitely interesting. It's a really, really good
- 54:53documentary. You're going to, you're going to
- 54:54cry because if I cried, fucking dude, you're going to cry
- 54:58probably. And yeah, yeah, the other thing
- 55:01too, is you look at that. And that's the one drawback.
- 55:03Watching documentaries about people like Ozzy, you kind of
- 55:07you. And you don't intentionally do
- 55:08it, but you you start comparing your life to, well, OK, well, he
- 55:12came from shit poverty. And then, you know, the highest
- 55:15selling solo artist ever, Rock. What have I done?
- 55:19I just sell houses. You know what I mean?
- 55:23It's that it's that weird dichotomy in your brain.
- 55:26Like, well, fuck, I'm a singer, man.
- 55:29Like what the hell? It ain't over.
- 55:31It ain't over yet. Oh, I know, but I'm just saying
- 55:33it's that it's that it's the thing.
- 55:35It's the sorrow that you just you know if.
- 55:37You know exactly what you did in those thirty years.
- 55:39You raised a beautiful family. You brought 2 productive members
- 55:44into society. One of them is the United States
- 55:46Marine. I mean.
- 55:48No, it's not, it's not, it's not what I've accomplished as a, as
- 55:51a, as a, as a, you know, as a lifelong work.
- 55:54It's just one of those things that.
- 55:55I have those musical, yeah, horrible moments more times than
- 56:01I want to admit, because. And you know, as a musician, you
- 56:06have to be somewhat conceited, right?
- 56:07So this is going to sound horribly conceited, but I know
- 56:11what I'm capable of. Right.
- 56:12Oh, no. Absolutely.
- 56:13And nobody else is capable of what you and I are.
- 56:17Correct. And nobody capable of what you
- 56:20and I and William and Scott were.
- 56:22Unfortunately, Scott's no longer with us.
- 56:24We can't put that puzzle piece together.
- 56:26But yeah, there were things that we did musically that still
- 56:31speak to me today. You know those.
- 56:32Yeah, I mean, right. I can hear that song, I can
- 56:35picture myself playing it on stage and meaning it at the
- 56:38time, right? Yeah, yeah.
- 56:40Like you should always say, we didn't go up there and sing.
- 56:43Not that there's anything wrong with the pour some sugar on me.
- 56:45I fucking love it as much as anything I ever played.
- 56:47Right? It's fun.
- 56:49But that's not who we were. And when I was up there playing
- 56:52those songs, I was that character of the song along with
- 56:57you. Right, Right, Right.
- 56:59It meant something to me. Just like it meant something to
- 57:01you. Because the two worlds got
- 57:03melded together. Yeah.
- 57:07It was no longer just a piece of music.
- 57:09It was a song. Right.
- 57:11It has to be played this way because this is where the
- 57:13melody's. Going to go.
- 57:16Yeah, agreed. That's the beautiful thing about
- 57:18music, man. Anything else you want to talk
- 57:25about? Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.
- 57:34So the Giants, we can talk a little about football, right?
- 57:37So, you know, Giants play tomorrow night, Thursday Night
- 57:42Football or Tuesday? Yeah, that's tomorrow night,
- 57:44October 9th against the Eagles. I hate primetime football.
- 57:47We can talk about how the NFL is completely scripted because what
- 57:50was that fucking play, that last play last night Where?
- 57:53The Jaguars. Trevor Lawrence ever fell down,
- 57:56got back up. Fell down.
- 57:59And fell down and got back up and ran in for a touchdown and
- 58:02no one was 11 people on the other side that were six feet
- 58:06away were not capable of coming over and tackling.
- 58:09Let's see, then you go back to the scripted comment where Tom
- 58:12Brady says, do you really think the NFL is scripted?
- 58:15Because do you really? I would lose that.
- 58:17I would lose to Peyton Manning's little brother not once, but
- 58:20twice. If they paid him enough money,
- 58:22they're going to win that. You're going to win every other
- 58:24one, Tom. Yeah, I don't think that was 19.
- 58:27And oh man, I don't think there's enough money in the
- 58:30world that there wasn't like Tom.
- 58:31There wasn't sports betting at the time like there.
- 58:33Is this is this is true? No, I yeah, this is true for
- 58:37sure. Yeah, it's.
- 58:40Yeah, That totally sounds like simple, man.
- 58:44Well, it's the same court. Yeah, yeah.
- 58:53I could learn to play that one pretty easy.
- 58:55Yeah, I'm sure you could. I can sing that one pretty good
- 58:57too. I kind of, it's Shinedown the
- 59:00way Shinedown does it. I, we did it before.
- 59:03We did it before Shinedown released their version and when
- 59:06their version came out, I'm like, motherfucker, because he
- 59:08and I kind of sound the same. We have the same kind of range
- 59:10in the, the the Southern draw. But yeah, when he when that,
- 59:16when that cover came on, I'm like, yeah, OK, yeah, that's how
- 59:19I do it, you know, but I got to pee, man.
- 59:24OK, so we can wrap it. Oh, yeah.
- 59:26Go eat your burrito. We can wrap her up.
- 59:30All right. Cool.
- 59:31Yeah. Joe, we'll, we'll get you back.
- 59:33We'll get you back on the show. Joe or John Kerry.
- 59:35I'm sorry. I don't know what happened with
- 59:36Sean Valentine. You know, we'll talk again, see
- 59:39if we can get you back on and then.
- 59:41Yeah, hopefully he's OK. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure he is.
- 59:44And then I said Friday, just in Santiago.
- 59:48And then Tuesday we have Matthew, a buddy of mine from
- 59:51Mesa Rotary Club. He's he's he's really cool and
- 59:55financial advisor guy. But he also, he's raising money
- 59:57for Foster 360 and doing all kinds of stuff, film,
- 1:00:00philanthropic key philanthropically.
- 1:00:03So remember, boys and girls, if you're feeling sad, so
- 1:00:05depressed, suicidal, somebody's going to miss you.
- 1:00:08Somebody Loves You. Don't leave a hole in their
- 1:00:10heart. Go for a run, journal, screaming
- 1:00:13a pillow, go workout, go do 100 push ups.
- 1:00:16Do something that will change your mind and alter your mood
- 1:00:19for the better. Tomorrow is always a better day,
- 1:00:22and it's even more so when you wake up in it because you are
- 1:00:25loved it, just like I love Mike Michaels here.
