Transcript
- 0:19What up dude? What's up, man?
- 0:24I had to do some jamming for Ozzy.
- 0:27That's cool. That's going to be one of your
- 0:42verse riffs. Right on.
- 0:47And I'm the asshole that makes you redo that every?
- 0:50Week I've been. Meaning to tell you why, Because
- 0:54that looks awesome. On the podcast.
- 0:58It doesn't work for the short SO.
- 1:00I. Haven't figured out a way to
- 1:02save yours. I don't think there is a way so.
- 1:05I you talking about? You talking about the
- 1:06background? Yeah.
- 1:08I'm not doing it to be a Dick. I.
- 1:10Love it. And I'll tell you why, like at
- 1:12the end of the show, when the screen would go black.
- 1:16Now your background or our background, the one that you
- 1:19put. On our background.
- 1:21Is that's what they see while they listen to listen to your
- 1:24saying now. That's cool.
- 2:00You can sing over any of that, but.
- 2:02That. All those together is going to
- 2:05be one song. Just so you know, we've been
- 2:08recording for about 2 1/2 minutes.
- 2:13There you go, world. There's some new music that
- 2:15we've promised you for a while. I really do play my guitar.
- 2:19Hello everyone here we'll send you off with some.
- 2:38Did you ever hear back from Rick?
- 2:41I did not. We talked to Rick boys and
- 2:44girls. Rick is the the Blades player
- 2:46that completed the the Nemesis lineup.
- 2:50He he did a random text yesterday.
- 2:51Hi, Rick said he's been loving the show and he's down to help
- 2:57us put some of our original music back, recording it, get it
- 3:03back down recorded so we can stick it in all the platforms
- 3:08that music's allowed to be on now that wasn't available to us
- 3:11back in 1993 to whenever we were done.
- 3:15So that's kind of cool. So we're white.
- 3:17We we pitched the option. He could come on today, but
- 3:19unfortunately he had to do a meeting or something, go to work
- 3:22and he wasn't sure if he'd get off so.
- 3:24He did tell us he was going to come on, we're going to make it
- 3:26happen and he's offered up his services of any kind.
- 3:32However, he can be of help, which is in true Rick fashion.
- 3:34That's one of the reasons why we love him.
- 3:39Our commitment right now is definitely to re record the two
- 3:42songs that you hear every week at the beginning and the end of
- 3:45the show. So absolutely, if, if and
- 3:47probably about four more that that I feel as the vocalist and
- 3:51and lyricist of those songs that are still relevant today, which
- 3:55is maybe a little bit self-serving, but you know,
- 4:00they're good songs. They they've stood the test of
- 4:02time lyrically for sure. Music is music.
- 4:05And then the beat behind them all or I was just driving an
- 4:08amazing because Mike and Scott and Rick, you know, created some
- 4:12badass music to support my vulnerable lyrics and all that
- 4:17kind of fun stuff. So, you know, it's going to be
- 4:18fun. And now that we got him kind of
- 4:21back in the game because it was touch and go for a while there,
- 4:23because, you know, we didn't know, you know.
- 4:26Well, the one thing that I'll say is until I went back and
- 4:31listened to those songs as a listener and not a player,
- 4:35right, I didn't realize a lot of the cool shit that Rick did
- 4:38because I was concentrating on what I was doing, you know?
- 4:41Yeah. Oh yeah.
- 4:43I mostly listen to you and Scott for cues, you know, within the
- 4:47song. If I ever forgot where I was at
- 4:49or how many times something had went around, there was always
- 4:52little cues there. But.
- 4:53Sure. He played a lot of harmony that
- 4:57I didn't realize, like Envision. Instead of playing the same
- 5:01notes I was playing, he would play like 1/3 or 1/5, you know,
- 5:04to build a chord instead of just playing in unison is what they
- 5:10would call it if you're playing the same note, you know.
- 5:13Yeah, he was a talented individual for sure.
- 5:15And at his audition, after it was all said and done, when we
- 5:20were having an haunt about it that I remember hearing Carrie
- 5:23from the other room saying that is the best you guys have ever.
- 5:25Sounded as a fan. We didn't even see her all we
- 5:28heard that we just heard. Her.
- 5:30She's like, that is literally the best you have ever sounded
- 5:33ever and. That was it.
- 5:34There you go. And Kerry was, Kerry was there
- 5:37the entire time because we rehearsed in Scott's living room
- 5:40for the most part. So she heard every single
- 5:42practice. She heard every single song.
- 5:45Every single performance. Right and and I mean heard every
- 5:49single discussion. I don't call them arguments
- 5:51heard you know, I remember we were wrote.
- 5:53I wrote a song called I Don't Know Why, which is about my
- 5:55encounter with Rodger Klein from back then The Refreshments and
- 5:59now the Peacemakers, that that there was disturbance in his
- 6:04band of time, the refreshments. And I sided with with the
- 6:06drummer, but he and I had a little conflict during a show
- 6:11and whatnot and he doesn't remember which, you know,
- 6:13whatever. I wrote a song about it, so
- 6:15that's why I remember. I'm sure he remembered it at the
- 6:18time. Yeah.
- 6:19So I, I there was a, there's a lyric that I would say over and
- 6:23over towards just the GM parts as I, I don't fucking remember
- 6:29now, but but Kerry, I remember Kerry chiming or Scott chiming
- 6:31in saying you're singing that way too much.
- 6:33And Kerry's like, shut up. They just let him be.
- 6:39Because she had a good ear for what?
- 6:43I guess she just had a good ear for music because there's no
- 6:46other way to put it, you know? She knew what was cool and what
- 6:49people would latch onto and what they wouldn't.
- 6:51I remember that moment. Yeah, it was.
- 6:53It was I. Think Bring it back.
- 6:54Right. And I think I was thinking it's
- 6:56are you ever, will you ever be? Will you ever be?
- 6:59Are you going to ever be Ever. Be, but it was totally necessary
- 7:02for the context. Of dynamical, right, right.
- 7:06It was, it was dynamic, Yeah, yeah.
- 7:08But it was. It was.
- 7:11I used to refer to our songs as roller coaster rides because.
- 7:13Do you remember that beat? Not to interrupt you, but do you
- 7:15remember that beat? Underneath that?
- 7:17It was just fucking pounding, man.
- 7:19Yeah, Oh yeah. The whole thing was driving,
- 7:21man. Because it was.
- 7:22It was an angry song. That particular moment I I
- 7:25remember that moment in the song with the drums just he was
- 7:28slamming his bass drum and his Toms constantly.
- 7:31Yeah, and I was just like, will you ever be?
- 7:33Will you ever be? Will you ever be shot Is fine.
- 7:41That's the direction that band was headed because those are the
- 7:44songs that we were writing after Freeman Vision Listen to Your
- 7:48Sin, because that music was pretty much done when you was
- 7:51in. Those were the songs that the
- 7:54four of us were writing together for the first time.
- 7:57Intervention of Vine. I don't know why.
- 8:01Vision. No, Vision was one of yours.
- 8:02I don't know why. Lost in the world.
- 8:07Fuck. Never you never again.
- 8:09I don't remember. I don't know if that was one of
- 8:10ours or not. There's.
- 8:11That was, yeah, I remember that one too.
- 8:13That was a cool guitar part that I'm not sure I even remember.
- 8:16Yeah, and I still have, I still have all there.
- 8:18So, so we had a guest on but I couldn't find him.
- 8:22He he's from the UK and I'm sure he's mourning the loss of the
- 8:25legendary Ozzy Osbourne today, which I mean.
- 8:27As we all are. We all knew it was coming and
- 8:29like, it's, it's, I mean, you know, it's, it's, it's not like
- 8:33Ozzy lived a very healthy lifestyle.
- 8:37Pretty much the polar opposite of that.
- 8:39You know, but I was, I was, I was in a real estate class today
- 8:43learning how to how to better position myself with, with
- 8:47people going through divorce. And I looked at my phone and and
- 8:51it was weird because it was Neanderthal.
- 8:52Neanderthal's page came up. If you don't know Neanderthal,
- 8:55he's a he's a diss jockey in Arizona for years.
- 8:57Paul Marshall. Now he's in California and he
- 8:58syndicates over four or five different stations.
- 9:01All his posts said sad day, Ozzy.
- 9:04And I knew you just, you knew, right?
- 9:06He could have just put Ozzy down and I would have known because
- 9:10it's it's, it's it's ironic to me that everything's being
- 9:13posted, Ozzy Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne, blah, blah, blah.
- 9:15But I mean, all you have to do is say Ozzy.
- 9:17But I'll tell you what, it's just like when I got to stop
- 9:20saying that, I'm driving myself nuts the next time I say, But I
- 9:23tell you what, smack me like virtually.
- 9:26Excuse me? OK.
- 9:28It was the same way when Eddie died to anybody that ever played
- 9:31a guitar, right? I can imagine what the people
- 9:34who worship not worship, but you know what I mean.
- 9:36The people that worship Hendrix as a musician.
- 9:39Musician, right? We looked up to Eddie as an
- 9:42innovator, a guy who taught us about tone, you know, the
- 9:45playing was granted. He was one of the best players
- 9:49in the world. You don't even need to talk
- 9:51about that. It's everything else that he
- 9:52did. You know, he always had a smile
- 9:54on his face. He loved playing.
- 9:56That was the key right there. I saw Van Halen three times, and
- 10:01all three times that man had a smile on his face.
- 10:03From the time he hit the stage until the time he left.
- 10:07You could tell he's just a big kid up there.
- 10:09He enjoyed every moment and I always tried to remember that
- 10:13and emulate it. You know, we're having a good
- 10:15time here. This is fun.
- 10:16We chose to do this. So with that said, I haven't
- 10:19been able to say anything but excuse me.
- 10:22Two weeks ago, 3 weeks ago now, kid that I went to school with
- 10:27played in a band over in Peoria who was super well known.
- 10:30They were getting ready to open up for Theory of a Dead Man.
- 10:33Oh nice. But they played a gig down in
- 10:35the Ozarks and after the gig, I guess he was driving home and he
- 10:39was the only one in the car and I don't know what happened, but
- 10:42unfortunately lost his life. Monster bass player, better
- 10:47human being. He was just one of those guys
- 10:49that I spent a lot of time with Pete when we were mixing our
- 10:53first demo. You remember, remember when I
- 10:55flew back here to hook up with Bob, the guy that taught me how
- 10:59to play? Well, he was playing in a band
- 11:01with Pete at the time, so he was at the studio.
- 11:03And you know, that was in our early 20s.
- 11:07So that was our partying days and we did a lot of that.
- 11:10There was a bar behind it and just had a lot of really good
- 11:14conversations about life and music and just definitely want
- 11:18to give him a shout out. And that's a bummer.
- 11:22It it sucks to lose not only a musician, but somebody that
- 11:26brought that much good into the music scene.
- 11:28You know, he was one of those guys that not only played in the
- 11:30band, but he did what he could for the community of music to
- 11:34keep it going and thriving. And you should have seen the
- 11:36crowds they were drawing. Man, it was outstanding.
- 11:40And this was recent. Yeah, within the last few weeks,
- 11:43unfortunately. Was he?
- 11:44Was he who you talked about coming on the show?
- 11:46No, that's my buddy Gary Romero. I would have gladly had Pete on
- 11:50the show. They were so busy.
- 11:51I was kind of waiting for the weather to turn, you know, when
- 11:54they weren't in their busy season.
- 11:56They're one of the most sought after cover bands in this area
- 11:59for. Sure.
- 12:00Oh wow, that's outstanding. You don't open up for theory of
- 12:03a dead man by accident. No, no.
- 12:07So they're going to pursue on. I went to school with their
- 12:10drummer too. So shout out to Gary.
- 12:12Sorry for your loss, man Bummer. We all went to school together.
- 12:16We all started playing at the same time.
- 12:18It's just one of those things that it really hits you, man, to
- 12:22enjoy every day. You know, don't sweat the small
- 12:24stuff. As Chris says at the end,
- 12:26tomorrow's a better day. Just go to bed.
- 12:30Things will look up. Because you never know, you
- 12:33know? I always make the joke today
- 12:35could be the last day and people think that's morbid.
- 12:38It's not. I enjoy living more than I've
- 12:40ever in my entire life. So when you hear me say things
- 12:43that sound like they're self deprecating, it's just to remind
- 12:46me that life is fragile, man. Well, it's everybody.
- 12:50It's kind of like, and we lost Malcolm Jamal.
- 12:52We, I say we the world lost Malcolm Jalt.
- 12:55Oh my God, Malcolm. Malcolm Jamal Warner.
- 12:58Which, which I was like when I first saw that, I was like,
- 13:01well, how do you accidentally drown?
- 13:02And somebody, my friend Steve Chen, he's like, well, we think
- 13:05he hit his head. I'm like, Oh, that makes sense.
- 13:06Because really I, I, you know, that just baffled my mind when I
- 13:09read that accidental drowning. I'm like, you know, I don't, and
- 13:12I wasn't saying it to be a Dick, but it's kind of like, how do
- 13:14you accidentally die and why you drown?
- 13:16And that's, you know, that's one of the ways.
- 13:19And I didn't realize post Cos because, you know, I, I didn't
- 13:26was a big Cosby Show fan. I wasn't a big Malcolm Jamal
- 13:30Warner fan because none of the stuff.
- 13:32No, I watched it on the fringes like.
- 13:34Right, exactly I've. Seen it.
- 13:35I know who he is. Yeah, but some of the stuff that
- 13:38I saw posted about him once, once he passed, some of the
- 13:40videos he made and reels he made about his family and and his
- 13:43outlook on life and what he was doing.
- 13:44He had a podcast that was kind of highlighting the different
- 13:48parts of the black community. Because you know, the the world
- 13:51just shows US1 part, right? That's like the world shows
- 13:54shows the same with with all communities, right?
- 13:56They don't focus on them, the totality of them.
- 13:59They focus on these little pockets that they want to pick
- 14:01and choose from. Either good or bad, We're going
- 14:04to highlight the good or we're going to highlight the bad.
- 14:06So that was cool that he was bringing some, some awareness to
- 14:10all the different levels of of the black community, as he
- 14:12called it. And he just seemed like a
- 14:14genuine human. I didn't, you know, Again, I
- 14:16didn't follow his career because I was never really big Cosby
- 14:18Show fan. Well, I would hope that that's
- 14:20something that we're doing here is showing people that, you
- 14:24know, there's another way or side to look at things.
- 14:27Right. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
- 14:31And that's what so he had that impact and that some, like I
- 14:33said, some of the so my, my acquaintances on Facebook
- 14:41basically drop some stuff and it's like, yeah, he's, he's, he
- 14:45had a, he had a really solid impact, which is cool.
- 14:48That's awesome. It's always nice to hear when
- 14:51somebody has success like that, that, that when they kind of
- 14:55what we would consider fade from the public spotlight, they
- 14:58continue to do good. Because, you know, his checks
- 15:00just kept rolling in when you're on a show like that.
- 15:03I mean, unless he was completely stupid, he was set up for life
- 15:07so he could have done whatever he wanted with his life.
- 15:09And it's cool that, you know, like I said, we're trying to do
- 15:13here, at least he was trying to spread some kind of positivity.
- 15:17And and that's that's really the wrong word.
- 15:20You just put you put it into a picture pretty well in that we
- 15:25want to make sure that people don't look at life as just a
- 15:30little tiny microcosm, you know, Right, right.
- 15:33Like you hear people say the black community, it's like, what
- 15:37is that? They're, they're people, man.
- 15:39Yeah, let's. Let's forget about that
- 15:42bullshit. We're all human beings.
- 15:43Right. But that's just that was the
- 15:45focus of his podcast. Because that's awesome, right?
- 15:47Because the lack of right, we've all we've talked about it and a
- 15:50lot of the world has realized it that journalism is no longer
- 15:53journalism. It's it's entertainment,
- 15:55correct? And because it's entertainment,
- 15:57you're not, you're not really speaking truths anymore.
- 16:00You're making shit up that you rely on, you know, the people
- 16:04that read it to call you out or there's true or not because you
- 16:08just want somebody to click the headline so that.
- 16:10They are no different than what we're doing right here.
- 16:12They're trying to get people to watch and entertain or not
- 16:15entertain. They're getting, they're trying
- 16:17to get people to watch and consume the message that they're
- 16:20putting out there. Right.
- 16:21Yeah. I mean, we're guilty of it, too.
- 16:23We wouldn't be doing this if there's no other reason to do it
- 16:25than to try to be successful in getting your message out there,
- 16:29right? Right.
- 16:30But I will say this, our approach is different than most
- 16:33podcasts because they're doing it organically.
- 16:35We're not. We're not feeding people
- 16:37bullshit. We're feeding people the things
- 16:40that interest. The best of our knowledge at the
- 16:42time. Right.
- 16:43Exactly. And so, but that's the thing,
- 16:45right. Like we don't like, we don't
- 16:48speculate anything for the most part it's stuff you've listened
- 16:51to, read or watched. The same with myself.
- 16:53And it's conversations that, right or wrong, it's
- 16:56conversations we have and. But one of the constructive
- 17:00positive things that I've heard about us is how we keep things
- 17:05flowing right. I've heard that multiple times
- 17:06I've. Heard that too, yeah.
- 17:07So the reason that Chris and I are successful at doing that is
- 17:12because when we were writing songs together, we literally had
- 17:14to make decisions in seconds or minutes, otherwise you would
- 17:19never get anything done, right? So we did.
- 17:22He just said it earlier. We didn't say at practice and
- 17:25argue I don't want you to do that there.
- 17:27You're doing that too long there.
- 17:28It was more like I don't think that really sounds that great
- 17:32for the song. And then everybody had to pause
- 17:34and say does it or doesn't, right.
- 17:37If three other if Scott and you and Rick automatically said we
- 17:42think it sounds great, I'm like, OK, just an idea.
- 17:46I'm going to side with the majority, right?
- 17:49You guys hear something that I don't.
- 17:50I'll come around to your side, I'm sure, or I'll keep arguing
- 17:53my point. Yep.
- 17:55That wasn't an argument, it was a debate.
- 17:58Absolutely. About what's best for the song.
- 18:01Right, right. Because that was the thing we
- 18:02wanted to put our best foot forward in the product we were
- 18:04creating. We wanted to be able to play it
- 18:07night after night, day after day.
- 18:09And I don't, I don't personally, I never really grew tired of any
- 18:12of our stuff because. I just thought about that the
- 18:14other day. It's funny you say that.
- 18:16Right. Nor did I, because it was for
- 18:18me. It lyrically was all personal,
- 18:20right? Whether you knew it or not.
- 18:22Like, you didn't realize I never dropped acid, you know, but I, I
- 18:26still was able to write a song like listen to your Sin, which
- 18:29has the elements and the visualizations of that.
- 18:32But that's something I learned in college when I was going to
- 18:34journalism school. I wondered, you know, to be a
- 18:37writer. So I had a teacher who was
- 18:40called descriptive writing and he taught me how to paint those
- 18:43pictures with words. And that just that's how music
- 18:45worked for me and carried it through with all the different
- 18:48elements of. Your lyrics were very visual
- 18:51after the music was set to it, for sure.
- 18:54I mean, for the listener, you knew what you were trying to
- 18:56convey from the get go. But for the listener, if they
- 18:59just read those lyrics on a page, it would still mean
- 19:03something to them because they were great lyrics, right?
- 19:05They're going to take something out of it.
- 19:07But then you hear it like a song like Intervention Divine, when
- 19:11you hear that message delivered with that music in that dynamic.
- 19:15Holy shit, that song impressed me and I'm the one that was
- 19:18there to write it, you know? And that was a poem.
- 19:21That was a poem, man. That was a poem.
- 19:23I was in. That thing became a beast.
- 19:25Though, Dude, yeah, it did. It was, it was, it was.
- 19:27I actually, it wasn't plagiarism, but it was just, it
- 19:30was. I was in a scene in one of my
- 19:32acting classes and, and some of the lyric in that song I wrote
- 19:37based on that scene. I don't remember it now, but.
- 19:40But if I looked at the lyrics, I could pull it out.
- 19:42But it was the first time I ever had to do a scene with a
- 19:46partner, right? Because it was my first real
- 19:48acting pursuit, right? And it was, I don't remember
- 19:54what it is now. I can see it in my head.
- 19:55I can see that the lady in my head, she was, she was probably
- 19:5815 years old and a really nice, nice person and, and rehearsed
- 20:02it and did some improvising shit because there was a the teacher,
- 20:06the instructor handed us these scenes like this is what you're
- 20:08going to do. So we didn't, she didn't want us
- 20:11picking things that, you know, whatever.
- 20:13Well, there's a, there was a part in the scene where we were
- 20:15supposed to kiss and she wasn't comfortable that I was like, I'm
- 20:17fine, I don't give a shit, you know?
- 20:20But the way that we improvise that and just the way that scene
- 20:23was, it was cool because it taught me that part of life, you
- 20:26don't have to do exactly what is written down to have it be
- 20:29effective. As long as you're putting
- 20:32everything that you have into whatever you're doing.
- 20:35Even that 15 minute scene was effective.
- 20:38And even the instructor, Bev, said that was more effective
- 20:42because we didn't kiss because the way that we had tweaked it
- 20:45to make it that much more of a, of an awkward element, it just
- 20:50carried through really cool. Which, you know, that was a
- 20:53fucking squirrel tangent. We're here to talk about Ozzy.
- 20:56Let's talk about Ozzy, Mike. No, that song was awesome.
- 21:00So here's the thing. I just so so Ozzy passed away
- 21:03today. This is July 22nd and we record
- 21:05our shows on Tuesdays and Fridays.
- 21:06So my time just comes out. He will have been will have been
- 21:10pass for you know what couple weeks.
- 21:13But here's the thing. OK?
- 21:15But there's people watching live.
- 21:17On YouTube, absolutely hello people watching live.
- 21:19So we're going to I'm going to I'm going to dive into Rolling
- 21:21Stones top 20 essential Ozzy Osbourne songs and I don't agree
- 21:24with them. I do not agree with these Ozzy
- 21:27Osbourne's 20 essential. Songs I rarely agree with
- 21:29Rolling Stone. That's good.
- 21:32Number and I, I don't. And because they don't do it in,
- 21:34in here 20, they don't say which is number 1 and which is #20 So
- 21:40we're just going to say #1 I'm going to go down Black Sabbath.
- 21:43Black Sabbath from 1970, which to me that introduced the world
- 21:50to Black Sabbath. Oh, for sure.
- 21:52So and that changed the trajectory of heavy metal as
- 21:57because heavy metal wasn't a thing back then.
- 22:00No, they invented heavy metal for sure, right?
- 22:02That's where they tried to be a Blues band and no one was
- 22:06listening, so they turned their amps up so the people couldn't
- 22:08talk while they were playing. That's a true story.
- 22:11Right, so it was, it was it was the the birth of heavy metal and
- 22:15and it has never I I think it'd be hard pressed to find somebody
- 22:19to argue that. So I'll agree with that one.
- 22:21Absolutely paranoid. Oh yeah, every guitar player in
- 22:26the world learned Paranoid. Right, and I'm doing this this
- 22:28morning #3 Iron Man. Oh yeah, I.
- 22:31Remember the man before you learned Paranoid?
- 22:34I remember the video on MTV with with the trippy background right
- 22:38the the the neon green. What do they call it?
- 22:42Saint Christopher's cross? It was upside down spinning.
- 22:44Right, right with the watercolor art.
- 22:47Right, going in the background, right.
- 22:49Oh my God, you know, Black Sabbath Satanic.
- 22:53You know, hide your children. They were marketing before KISS
- 22:57was marketing. Right, right.
- 22:59Changes from from Black Sabbath song changes, which the first
- 23:03time I heard changes was actually at his No More Tours
- 23:06tour, which was recorded live for Live and loud.
- 23:10That's the first time I ever heard changes, believe it or
- 23:12not. That's the first time I ever saw
- 23:14Ozzy is on that tour. Wait on, that's the first time I
- 23:16saw him as well. Nice.
- 23:19Yeah. Makes the Amphitheatre, 2000.
- 23:21People Peoria, IL Yeah, the Amphitheatre.
- 23:26I saw Pantera there twice and they tore that place apart.
- 23:29What a great place to see a band like that because it's nice and
- 23:32tight sound. Well, and and see what what blew
- 23:35my mind now looking back on it then thinking going then it did,
- 23:39you know, I mean, we got tickets the day of the show and it was
- 23:41general mission and we worked our way up to like, you know,
- 23:43probably 10 people from the stage.
- 23:44And you couldn't do that nowadays day of the show.
- 23:48It's impossible. But the fact that if you look at
- 23:50that now that where they played, where he played, it was the
- 23:53opening leg of the tour for no more tours, no more No More
- 23:56Tears tour, but to play at the at the Mesa Amphitheater.
- 24:01I mean, this is a guy who. That's a warm up show for sure.
- 24:04Right. It's like I sell out Dodger.
- 24:06Stadium and and, you know, Madison Square Garden right out
- 24:10of my mouth. And I'm playing this little
- 24:12podunk place in Mesa, AZ. But you know, you know, we would
- 24:16have done the same thing. Sure, you always want to play
- 24:18your first show, intimate venue, make sure everything's going to
- 24:23work. Yep, Yep.
- 24:25What's next? So I think so.
- 24:26He probably did some kind of little club tour like that.
- 24:29Sabbath. Bloody Sabbath, yeah.
- 24:33Metallica covered that one. Right on.
- 24:35I don't know why? I'm sorry.
- 24:37I don't. I don't know.
- 24:38I don't know. I don't know.
- 24:39I don't know. Great riff.
- 24:42Yeah. That riff is like our Freeman
- 24:45riff. It's simple and effective.
- 24:47Yeah, yeah. So he, he told the planet Rock.
- 24:51Ozzy did that. I'm not the kind of guy.
- 24:52I'm a dyslexic fucking rock and roller.
- 24:55So I don't know, is me saying don't ask me questions.
- 24:58I don't know. You got to believe in someone.
- 25:00He sings over a crisp guitar riff, asking who is right,
- 25:04asking me who to follow. Don't ask me.
- 25:06I don't know. That's such a great song.
- 25:10And then. And then what?
- 25:11Which a lot of people are going to.
- 25:13Yeah. Oh yeah, which a lot of people
- 25:15are going to say this launched his solo because it was his
- 25:18first solo hit and it crazy train.
- 25:20Yep, there you go. And you have to say it.
- 25:22And you, you, you know that song from the first riff, kind of
- 25:26like, you know, Sweet Child to mine, right?
- 25:27There's certain. What's that instrument they use
- 25:29at the beginning of the song? That's how you know it's all
- 25:33drummers know what that is. But it's a percussion
- 25:35instrument, and if used right, it's effective.
- 25:38And he used it very effectively because that's what you hear
- 25:41first in Crazy Train. Yeah.
- 25:43Yeah, the video was cool too. Black and white.
- 25:46You know, he was, he was heavily intoxicated, still kind of in
- 25:51not very healthy, but. Had his eye makeup like raccoon
- 25:54eyes and a spiky hair. Yep, there was.
- 25:58Oh yeah, 1980 man. He embraced the hair metal.
- 26:02Mr. Crowley, the next. I just heard that today.
- 26:07I did. Why?
- 26:07When I came home from the office, I put on my ultimate
- 26:10Aussie. Me too.
- 26:10Yeah. Yeah, I see.
- 26:12And this I never liked this song Suicide solution I.
- 26:15Love that song. Yeah, I, I never liked it.
- 26:17It was just one of those songs I just don't like, you know?
- 26:19It's an anti suicide song. Oh, I know.
- 26:22Yeah, I know what it's about. I just, I just, it's just never,
- 26:25I just never gravitated towards that, you know, for whatever
- 26:28reason. I don't know why.
- 26:30Flying high again. Oh, yeah.
- 26:32Now. Now what?
- 26:33Are you trying? To say nothing, man, I will.
- 26:37This is this is this is my first Aussie story, right?
- 26:40OK, this is so my, my introduction to Ozzy Osbourne,
- 26:42my brother, his friend Brendan, myself and this guy and his
- 26:46other friend named Pat. We were in my elementary school
- 26:49parking lot and I think it was Brendan's, you know, 1970
- 26:54orange, K5, Bronco, blazer, whatever, right?
- 26:57Orange, you know, white top. They were, they had Ozzy on the
- 27:03cassette and and Over the Mountain came on and that was
- 27:08the first time I ever took a hit off a joint.
- 27:11Sweet. So we basically smoked a joint
- 27:13while listening to Ozzy. No better way to hear Ozzy.
- 27:18I'm going back home and I felt like I was walking on the moon,
- 27:23you know, I had. To I remember when marijuana did
- 27:25that to me. Had to walk past the parent, the
- 27:30parent, you know. And I don't remember what she
- 27:32said, but I acknowledge, my brother said I know.
- 27:34She probably sounded like she was a mile away.
- 27:36Right and and delayed response and got our money.
- 27:40Proceeded to go 711 and and munch it away.
- 27:44That's my first ever introduction to Ozzy Osbourne.
- 27:47Seeing when somebody thinks of somebody being high.
- 27:51If you see somebody high for the first time, second time, maybe
- 27:54even in their first year of smoking marijuana, and that is
- 27:58your impression of people getting high, I understand why
- 28:01you're confused. Right, Right.
- 28:03Because the first time, you just described the first time
- 28:06perfectly. You feel like you're walking on
- 28:07the moon. Yeah, it's the greatest feeling
- 28:10ever. And you got to hear Ozzy at the
- 28:12same time. Right, right.
- 28:15And you know. So my introduction to Ozzy was
- 28:19art. Well, I think he's still my mom
- 28:21and dad's mailman, Mr. Mark Brewer.
- 28:24We were jamming out tunes in his room one day.
- 28:28We're probably junior high high school.
- 28:30OK. And I think it was the fact that
- 28:32he didn't like the live album. I don't think it wasn't that he
- 28:35didn't like Ozzy, but it was the Randy Rhodes Ozzy Osbourne
- 28:39tribute album. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 28:41He just flipped it to me and he's like here, man.
- 28:44Maybe it was like meant to be, you know, fate.
- 28:47I had recently started playing guitar and you never know why
- 28:50things happen, but he's like here.
- 28:51I don't really care for this. I think you'll enjoy it.
- 28:55So I've popped that in the cassette player and holy shit,
- 28:58man, I got to hear Randy Rhodes and really listen to him for the
- 29:01first time. And in a live setting where
- 29:03people, you know, like myself, are able to cut loose as a
- 29:06player, you don't always play the same solos when you're live
- 29:09is on the record. A lot of times you don't even
- 29:12play the same rhythm. You throw little things in
- 29:14there. And he did a lot of that.
- 29:16And it gave me ideas of what to do in between the beats, you
- 29:22know? Yeah, music happens in between
- 29:24the beats. It's the silence that actually
- 29:26makes the music. People don't realize that if you
- 29:28just kept playing straight through and there was no breaks,
- 29:31it wouldn't be music, right? Yeah.
- 29:34So Mozart taught us that, that it's the silence, it's the
- 29:38notes, it's the silence in between the notes that actually
- 29:40makes the music. It's how long you pause and
- 29:43where your brakes are, right? Yeah, I'm Speaking of tribute.
- 29:47I lost my virginity to Ozzy Osbourne's tribute album.
- 29:50That's awesome. That's a better story than mine.
- 29:55I think we're probably lighting our farts on fire in junior high
- 29:58or something like. That so next one, which is
- 30:01which, which to me was it epitomized It epitomized him at
- 30:06the time for me, because it was this song was so dark, but it
- 30:09was so it was so, so eerie and storytelling vibe that it it
- 30:15hunked, it hooked me like because once, once once I heard
- 30:20over the mountain right then it's like, OK, I got to buy
- 30:22this. I got to buy the cassette, you
- 30:24know, sure got it. Diary of a Mad Men.
- 30:27What a fucking epic song dude. Another Randy Rhodes.
- 30:31Beautiful. Yeah, this is funny, too.
- 30:35Once, while Rhodes was taking a classical guitar lesson.
- 30:37You're going to like this, Osbourne ambled in and asked
- 30:40what he was playing, as he later told the magazine Revolver.
- 30:45Mozart, Rhodes said. Right, we're nicking it, Osborne
- 30:49replied. Worked.
- 30:50We can't nick Mozart, Rhodes said.
- 30:52They worked on it basis. Bob Daisy wrote some lyrics
- 30:55reflecting a nervous breakdown. He had had a 16 and Osborne
- 30:58channeled the words into a Munch like scream.
- 31:02By the time Randy had finished messing around with it, there
- 31:05was hardly any work, any Mozart left.
- 31:09That would be me. How can I wreck this?
- 31:11But that's the thing. So you said.
- 31:13That's why I thought that was a good thing to read, because
- 31:15that's a great story. You reference Mozart?
- 31:17Yeah, that was a. Great story man, Randy was a
- 31:19huge lover of classical and anybody who is a lover of music
- 31:23is, and anybody who is a player that doesn't study or at least
- 31:27appreciate classical music, you're doing yourself a
- 31:30disservice. Well, classical music is
- 31:32awesome. I had it on Monday at the
- 31:33office. It was just me and Christy, the
- 31:37she's like helps Nick run the whole thing and it was rare.
- 31:40It was just her and I, So I put on she can't hear.
- 31:42She's got a hearing aid. So I usually put on like Alter
- 31:44Bridge station or something Rocky when it's just me, but
- 31:48actually put on, I put on Mozart's station and just it was
- 31:52it's it's amazing how. As a musician, the appreciation
- 31:56you have for it when you hear it is just mind blowing.
- 31:59Yeah, because if you ever just sit down and listen to classical
- 32:02music, like just turn the world off, you'll be amazed at the
- 32:06sounds they can create. Yes, with such a massive, you
- 32:10know, amount of musicians in the orchestra and just it's, it
- 32:13fills the space like you wouldn't believe.
- 32:16So that's, that's what it does for me, dude.
- 32:19As a musician, it makes me realize how simplistic and you
- 32:23know, as cool as what I think I do, when I hear that music, I'm
- 32:27like, whoa, you know, we're super simple here.
- 32:30If we go to 6-8 time, people freak out or three, four or
- 32:33something, you know, right. They're playing in multiple time
- 32:36signatures within the same measure sometimes.
- 32:38Yeah. But I agree with what you said,
- 32:42the fullness of the sound and what they can create with the
- 32:45percussion and the all the way down to the chimes and the
- 32:49triangle and you know, just outstanding.
- 32:52Well, I mean, it's like what Metallica did with with Michael
- 32:54Kamen, you know, beautiful. Yeah.
- 32:56I mean and. The second one is good too, but
- 32:58that first one, like you said on the last show, it shocked the
- 33:02world. It's like, wow, Metallica is
- 33:04powerful. Yeah, when you when you hear
- 33:06Metallica in an elevator, it's it's, it's a little ridiculous,
- 33:11but but it shows you that, that the ability of that's there
- 33:14because of of how they they didn't.
- 33:16And again, we talked about it last show, they didn't realize
- 33:20how they were writing. They just thought it sounded
- 33:21cool, which I think a lot of musicians don't have that.
- 33:25I can't, can't read music. So I just I play by ear.
- 33:27I couldn't tell you what we're doing sound right.
- 33:30It's just, it's what feels good at what feels right at what's
- 33:33what sounds good. And it's filling the space and
- 33:36you know, so next one bark at the moon. 01 of the hardest
- 33:41songs to play on guitar ever. Really.
- 33:43Oh yeah, Well, Jake was the master.
- 33:46Jake got screwed because he came in after Randy Rhodes and those
- 33:50are huge shoes to fill. But I challenge anyone to come
- 33:54on here and tell me that Jakey Lee was not one of the greatest
- 33:56guitar players Ozzy ever had because his rhythm work was so
- 34:01unique. It was hard to put your finger
- 34:03on how he played because he did things.
- 34:07That was just, I did the same thing.
- 34:11However, he learned to play was out of the ordinary, right?
- 34:14The way I learned to play was out of the ordinary because I
- 34:16was by myself a lot. I think he was by himself a lot,
- 34:19too. You learn to fill in spaces that
- 34:23people who just grow up playing organized, structured music, or
- 34:27they start off playing in a band right away.
- 34:30They don't do those things because they're used to just
- 34:32holding down the rhythm or whatever.
- 34:35Bark at the Moon is moving #1 the tempo is way up there, and
- 34:40it's a constant pedal tone on the A string, like alternate
- 34:44picking all the time. And then you're playing this
- 34:47huge full chord underneath it at the same time, like he's
- 34:51stabbing at the beats underneath it, but he's always keeping that
- 34:56A string going all the time. Interesting.
- 35:01So then we got shot in the dark. Ultimate send album.
- 35:06Which he hated. I remember, I remember.
- 35:07You know why? Because he wasn't.
- 35:09I just read that he wasn't involved in almost zero of that.
- 35:14Bob Daisley and Jakey Lee wrote that whole album because Ozzy
- 35:17was in rehab. He came in and most of the music
- 35:20was done. I love that album, but I
- 35:23understand why he doesn't like it because I think he was forced
- 35:27into here's what we have and we need to get it out because you
- 35:31got to get out on the road, you know, blah blah blah.
- 35:33Yeah. He wasn't in a position to be
- 35:38the guy who could say, I'm going to take another year and rewrite
- 35:42this the way I would like it. Well, and he wrote in the liner
- 35:46notes that I laugh so much every time I see the video for the
- 35:48song Shot in the dark. I looked like a tattooed truck
- 35:51driver in a sequin dress. That one was ridiculous.
- 35:56Videos were definitely 80s cheesy.
- 35:58Oh, but but ultimate sin is I see I that's one of the albums
- 36:02I've listened to like I listened to it I what when I was doing
- 36:04yard work the other day because. I love the album.
- 36:06Yeah. I'm a huge Jakey Lee fan.
- 36:08His work in Badlands is another one people should go check out.
- 36:11It's hard to find now, but he was a monster player that just
- 36:15didn't get the credit he deserved because he was in the
- 36:18shadows of reindeer. Yeah, yeah, this is a really
- 36:22good song too. And it's a duet.
- 36:25Close my eyes forever. With I just heard that too
- 36:27today. Do you know that that was an
- 36:30accident that that song was ever done?
- 36:32They were both recording in the same studios.
- 36:35Just, you know, they had like a studio A, studio B.
- 36:39They got all fucked up one night and went in the studio together
- 36:42and hammered that song out. Nice.
- 36:44Yeah, so. I think that was Ozzy's only
- 36:47number one single. We'll look that up when we're
- 36:50done. So Lita Ford's first concert was
- 36:52singing Black Sabbath at age 13 and 71.
- 36:54That I'm reading the the notes on this.
- 36:56Nearly two decades later, after she established herself with the
- 36:59Runaways and as a solo artist, she found herself jamming and
- 37:02getting drunk with Sabbath's lead singer and his wife at her
- 37:04new house. There was a little side room
- 37:07with a guitar and a keyboard. And we started messing around,
- 37:09singing, playing, and we wrote close My Eyes Forever.
- 37:13She once recalled. The song features Forge Spyder,
- 37:15a guitar playing, and the two artists share vocals about
- 37:18contemplating love and eternity. Next thing I know, the sun was
- 37:21coming up, she recalled. I looked at him and I went, uh
- 37:24oh, we're in trouble. Sharon had been waiting all
- 37:26night. But then we had this hit song.
- 37:31It peaked #8 on Billboard's pop chart. close My Eyes Forever.
- 37:36OK. So you're close, and then and.
- 37:39Then this is only top ten single.
- 37:41Maybe because here's so well, I don't know, we're going to I
- 37:43because I could've swore patient #9 debuted at #1 but maybe that
- 37:48was the album this one, this and this is the cool thing about
- 37:52Ozzy. If if if you followed his career
- 37:54like like Black Sabbath, right? They hit the scene and boom
- 37:57world changed, right? Crazy Train hit the scene, boom
- 38:01world change right And then this song, Mama, I'm Coming Home,
- 38:04boom world change. It's like he got.
- 38:07He reestablished himself as a true rock'n'roll legend because.
- 38:12He had to keep reinventing himself because he almost became
- 38:15a parody of himself. Right, especially in the 80s.
- 38:19That's it right there. The 80s and the early 90s, he
- 38:22really had to keep struggling to reinvent himself.
- 38:25And I agree with you, man. It's fascinating the way he did
- 38:27it. Yeah, yeah.
- 38:29And then so this that this part of it, he talks, he wrote it.
- 38:34This is this song actually is the one and only time that one
- 38:39of his solo tunes enter the Top 40.
- 38:41He wrote it with Zack Wyden, Lemmy.
- 38:44Everyone thinks it's about my mother, Osborne, Soul planet
- 38:46rock, but it's not. I call my wife Sharon.
- 38:48Mama. I had the idea for this.
- 38:50And Lemmy wrote the lyrics in about 3 hours.
- 38:53The song became a main stand MTV and helped Osborne win over an
- 38:56entirely new audience, which we just said remained part of his
- 39:00live shows. I mean, he played his last show
- 39:02ever. He played it.
- 39:03And I, I didn't realize that he was, it was his Mama was Sharon.
- 39:06I did. So that's cool.
- 39:08Another, another figured it out watching The Osbournes 'cause
- 39:11you hear him call her that all the time.
- 39:14I thought it was about his mother too till I started
- 39:16watching The Osbournes and I'm like, oh, he calls Sharon Mama
- 39:19I. Didn't think about that.
- 39:20No next one. I don't want to change the
- 39:24world. What a great song.
- 39:26Yeah, let me wrote the lyrics and and and see this this I
- 39:32mean, here's the power of Ozzy. Tell me I'm a sin.
- 39:35And I got news for you. I spoke to God this morning and
- 39:37he don't like you. That's.
- 39:39Such a great lyric. That's so Lemmy too.
- 39:43Yeah, Yep. But that's the that's yeah,
- 39:48just. And then, of course, the the the
- 39:50mainstay of that album. No more tears.
- 39:53You know, that video was great too.
- 39:56Great video. That was a band that that was a
- 40:00force to be reckoned with, man. I, I saw him twice with Zach and
- 40:05I think Newstead was playing bass one time.
- 40:09And Rob, actually I did. I saw him with both Metallica
- 40:13bass players. I saw him with Newstead once and
- 40:15I saw him with Rob Trujillo once.
- 40:17Oh wow. And Tommy Aldridge was playing
- 40:19drums for most of it. I mean, you just couldn't find a
- 40:22better band. Yeah.
- 40:25Gotcha. Next one I just want you another
- 40:29another. Oh yeah, you can feel the
- 40:31emotion in that song. From Osmosis, I don't ask much,
- 40:35I just want you Dreamer 2001 released at Dreamer.
- 40:43That's a good one. And people say Dreamers like
- 40:46Ozzy's is is like Ozzy's imagine from from John Lennon.
- 40:50I can see that. Osborne said he takes that as a
- 40:52compliment. I would too.
- 40:54It's got the gentle piano line, George Martin esque
- 40:57orchestrations. That's where he lived out his
- 41:01fantasies of becoming his, you know, part of his favorite band,
- 41:03which was The Beatles. It's a great.
- 41:06I'm just a dreamer. I dream my life away.
- 41:08I'm just a dreamer who dreams of better days.
- 41:10Just like The Beatles song, you know it's cool.
- 41:14That's a good song for. Sure, it is a great song.
- 41:16And then and see, This is why I don't necessarily agree with us,
- 41:18because now it's patient #9 good song, really good song.
- 41:21That's right. But but oh, there's there's the
- 41:27other, there's another track on on on patient number 90.
- 41:33Fuck, I can't think of the name now, but but the lyric is it's
- 41:36just one of those days where I don't believe in Jesus.
- 41:38So if if you, if you just hear that line, you think, oh, you
- 41:43know, he's fucking slamming God again, but he's not.
- 41:45He's just the the lyrics. It's just he's the song is about
- 41:48you. Just you have a shitty day and
- 41:49it's just, it's today's just one of those days.
- 41:52I just, I just don't believe in Jesus.
- 41:53When you see, you know, 75 kids drown in a, in a massive flood
- 41:58in Texas. Like it's hard to have faith if
- 42:00you're a Christian because where are you God?
- 42:04You're letting 75 children ages, you know, 7 to 11 die in a
- 42:08flood, right. So that's like when that the,
- 42:12the one song I, I, I, I think, what is it?
- 42:14The window of hell, whatever that one song I wrote about the
- 42:16guy. That was another one we wrote
- 42:19together. Yeah, that thing, that thing
- 42:21wrote itself. Yeah, but that dude took his
- 42:23daughter to the desert, you know, and to burner under the
- 42:27preclusive. You're going to go see Santa
- 42:28Claus. That's those elements where.
- 42:31But that song could have been taken out of context.
- 42:33Very. Sure, sure.
- 42:34But but again, when I'm going with that, that's one of those
- 42:36contexts where you, you, you have to read the lyric to
- 42:43understand as best you can what, what the lyricist is portraying,
- 42:48you know, So the, I'm going to look up the fucking lyrics of
- 42:51that song. That's driving me nuts now.
- 42:54Well, I'm thinking if you don't understand what the song's about
- 42:57and you have a bad interpretation of it, don't
- 42:59listen to that song anymore. Don't, don't, don't chastise the
- 43:03songwriter and make your own opinion as to what songs are
- 43:07about negatively. Yeah, there's no need for that.
- 43:11Just don't listen to it, you know?
- 43:12Yeah, because you probably. Don't know what the song's about
- 43:15anyway. Right, It's called One of Those
- 43:16Days. And Eric Clapton played on it
- 43:19and then patient #9 patient, Yeah, patient #9 played, had
- 43:22Jeff Beck on it. And then Jeff Beck, he passed
- 43:24away right shortly after that album was.
- 43:26Released, it is a great song. Yeah, yeah.
- 43:30But the two this I like go. Ahead.
- 43:32I like the Post Malone song on there too.
- 43:35Which one was that? I don't know, you got the tracks
- 43:39up there. Yeah, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Mike,
- 43:41Derek, Zach. I just heard him.
- 43:45Dark side Blues Maybe no. Oh, maybe it's not on that
- 43:50album. Maybe it's on.
- 43:50I don't think it's on. Maybe that was just a single.
- 43:53OK yeah, but One of those days, impatient #9 are are the 2 songs
- 43:59I like on that now. Take one back on it.
- 44:02Yeah, yeah, I was one catalog. That was from 2019.
- 44:08OK, gotcha. That's a great song.
- 44:12So I just I want to open up his his songs because there's so
- 44:17many songs listen missed. I bet that's the problem with
- 44:20Ozzy dude. There's He's so he has so many
- 44:22good songs, man. Yeah, not very many of them are
- 44:25bad. No, so so ultimate sin.
- 44:31Thank God for the bombs. One of my.
- 44:33On. That one.
- 44:34I just heard that today too. That's what people I don't want
- 44:41to think a lot of people under realize that.
- 44:42I mean I'm making a broad statement there, but Ozzy was
- 44:46very in tune with what was going on around him in the world.
- 44:49Thank God for the Bomb is an anti nuclear weapon song but
- 44:55it's. The wall had just come down when
- 44:57he wrote that. Right.
- 44:58But it's also, he's basically saying like, thank God for the
- 45:02bomb, because if we didn't have the threat of using the bomb,
- 45:05all chaos could ensue in the world.
- 45:07Correct. So that was the thing.
- 45:09Yeah. So the ultimate saying, thank
- 45:10God for the bomb Killer Giants. Great song.
- 45:12There's another, right? There's another track that
- 45:16nobody ever talks about that's a killer Ozzy song, no pun
- 45:19intended. No, it is though.
- 45:21It is though, lightning striking, shot in the dark full
- 45:25for you just OK, that's ultimate sin.
- 45:28So right there, there's more often than not good.
- 45:31There's no filler on that album. No.
- 45:34Bark at the moon. We're at bark at the moon now.
- 45:36Bark at the moon. You're no different than me.
- 45:38That's a great song, right? Rock'n'roll Rebel.
- 45:41Another great song. Waiting for Darkness, that was
- 45:44an E. That was an EP.
- 45:47Dude. That's 8 songs.
- 45:47The other ones on there now you see it now you don't.
- 45:50Center of Eternity and Slow down.
- 45:53But you have you have 5 of the 8 songs you can just, you know,

- 46:34Yeah, Diver Man, but again as AEP 8 tracks and you have at
- 46:38least six of those tracks held up.

- 46:44right? Right then, no more tears, Mr.
- 46:49Tanker Train. Great song, Desire.
- 46:52Great song, Hellraiser. I don't want to rule the world

- 47:18Nobody, nobody, Blizzard of Oz, you have, I don't know, great
- 47:23song, crazy train, great song, goodbye to romance.
- 47:26I, I don't, I don't love that song.
- 47:28See, and I don't that's a weird thing.
- 47:30I just, I, I mean, I, I from a music standpoint, I see what you
- 47:34do because Randy's on it and and his guitar sounds are fantastic
- 47:37And, but I just. I like that melody.
- 47:40I just never felt it. So those are two songs on the
- 47:43album. I just don't.
- 47:43I don't. I've never really liked.
- 47:44What's the other one? Oh, yeah.
- 47:46Suicide Solution. But Steal away the night, Mr.
- 47:50Crowley. Revelation.
- 47:52You know, I just fucking did. Just talk to the dead, you know?
- 47:58Mr. Crowley, I love. This osmosis if you don't know
- 48:01what Mr. Crowley is about boys and girls, just Google Mr.
- 48:03Crowley, the original Mr. Crowley.
- 48:05And Aleister Crowley. Yeah, it's, it's interesting
- 48:09Osmosis again. Just Perry Mason.
- 48:12Only Ozzy could get away with that, right?
- 48:15I just want you Ghost behind Thunder Underground.
- 48:18Thunder Underground. See you on the other side.
- 48:22Listen to that. Right, see you on the other side
- 48:24tomorrow. Denial, my little man, and my
- 48:27just see you on the other side, man.
- 48:31Old LA tonight. Just another great album, man.
- 48:36Just another great album. He knew how to make a good
- 48:40album. He knew how to put a great band
- 48:42together. Yeah, and we already talked
- 48:44about patient #9 yeah, I just, there's so many other songs that
- 48:54could be in that top 20. I mean, the man was one of he
- 48:57was 25% of inventing heavy metal.
- 49:00Yeah, he was when without his voice.
- 49:03I don't think you created heavy metal.
- 49:05I don't think. I don't think.
- 49:06He had one of the most unique voices ever in the history of
- 49:09the world. I know, I know.
- 49:10And just, you know, from other Sabbath singers, I don't think
- 49:12you've put Ronnie James Dio and as as the original lineup for
- 49:15Black Sabbath. It doesn't, it doesn't
- 49:17breakthrough like it did with Ozzy because it is, you know his
- 49:20voice. You can't mistake his voice and
- 49:22you know his name. Like you don't have to say Ozzy
- 49:24Osbourne. It's just Ozzy.
- 49:25You say, Ozzy, everybody knows. I'll tell you how powerful it
- 49:28is. One of my friends that just
- 49:31isn't a huge fan of heavy metal is a huge Ozzie fan.
- 49:35Like hit her super hard, right? That's how unique his voice was,
- 49:42was it? It really spoke to people who
- 49:44would generally not listen to that kind of music because it
- 49:46was so unique. You want to say that he really
- 49:51wasn't a singer, but he was in an odd way, because it was
- 49:56pleasing to the ear in the weirdest way possible.
- 50:01On paper, he shouldn't have been a singer.
- 50:03You know, he didn't have a huge range, but it was that.
- 50:07You just hit the nail on the head, man.
- 50:09It was his, the uniqueness of his voice that just drew people
- 50:14in. And he was such a lovable
- 50:17character once you got past the fact that he wasn't trying to
- 50:20woo everyone into Satan. That was such.
- 50:25Well, those people were fucking stupid.
- 50:27Yeah. And then he he released the
- 50:28album in 2010 called Scream That I, I there's nothing on there
- 50:32that I recognize. So obviously I didn't, I didn't
- 50:34gravitate. That's a great album at all.
- 50:36I think that was Gus G on guitar if I remember right.
- 50:39What are the songs on that album?
- 50:41I gotta go back to it. Where'd it go?
- 50:43Where'd it go? You've heard scream because of.
- 50:46Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I've heard.
- 50:47Yeah, I've heard scream for sure.
- 50:54Recording this home studio in LA.
- 50:58It doesn't say oh, Kevin. Produced by him and Kevin Chunko
- 51:03Cunko. It doesn't say who the guitarist
- 51:06is on it. Who?
- 51:07Oh, here we go. The drop down menu.
- 51:09Gus G. Yep, you're right.
- 51:10Gus GI. Know my eyes, A guitar player.
- 51:14Yep, let's see. That was not one of his better
- 51:22picks in my opinion. Just my opinion.
- 51:25Yeah, Black Rain, 2007. That's a great album too.
- 51:31Not going away. I don't want a black Rain 11
- 51:36silver here for you, the almighty lay your world trap
- 51:42door after. I haven't.
- 51:42I've never heard that one. I'll have to listen to it.
- 51:46I don't think I I just put a bunch of them on my phone maybe
- 51:50six months ago and the last two that you mentioned I had never
- 51:54heard either. Yeah, ordinary man.
- 51:56I've heard that. I've heard that's the one that
- 51:58post Malone's on Ordinary man. OK, no rest for the wicked, of
- 52:04course. Yeah, Miracle man crazy baby is
- 52:06bloodbath that. Was miracle man.
- 52:08Yeah, Demon alcohol, we talked about that.
- 52:10What was that? Jerry Falwell, right?
- 52:13Miracle man, Yeah. No Jimmy.
- 52:16Jimmy. He got busted with his pants
- 52:19down. Little Jimmy, Center.
- 52:23And then when he when, Yeah. And when he introduces it on
- 52:26Jimmy who? The fuck was that?
- 52:30I don't know. I know I fucking Jimmy somebody.
- 52:32He's dead now. Yeah, but it was funny when he
- 52:35went on Live and Loud. He's like all these people think
- 52:38you listen to the likes of Ozzy Oz when you're as fuck going to
- 52:40go to hell. God, I don't believe in that,
- 52:43you know? But you went to Cash, you know,
- 52:45whatever, he Mumbles. Swagger, swag Jimmy Swagger.
- 52:48Swagger. I just know him as little Jimmy
- 52:51Sinner because that's what Ozzy dubbed him.
- 52:53You know, that was the brilliance of Ozzy though.
- 52:57It's like nothing's taboo, man. Oh, you're a man of the Lord,
- 53:00are you? How come you're fucking that
- 53:01prostitute? And then and then of course,
- 53:04Live and Loud, which was got to be one of the best live albums
- 53:07ever. And he was at I think to me that
- 53:11was he was, he was sober. He was clean for the he was a
- 53:14very long time, right? He's like, he hit his stride.
- 53:18That's what what what propelled him to kind of he reinvented
- 53:21himself again, like we talked about, and I mean, just the, the
- 53:24songs, the intro, which is badass and you got paranoid.
- 53:26This is how it started. Paranoid.
- 53:28I don't want to change the world desire Mr. Crowley.
- 53:31I don't know. Road to Nowhere another
- 53:33fantastic song. Why Road to no No is not in in
- 53:36Rolling Stones top 20s beyond me that.
- 53:38Should have been there over patient #9.
- 53:41That's an autobiography. Yes.
- 53:43Right yes. Flying high again.
- 53:46Zach Wylde solo suicide solution.
- 53:48Goodbye to Romance. Shot in the dark.
- 53:50No more tears. Miracle Man Randy Castillo's
- 53:53drum solo. We've talked about Randy before
- 53:55on the show. Amazing human and drummer.
- 53:57Yeah, rest in peace. Right then war pigs because he
- 53:59brings he brings Sabbath back on stage.
- 54:02No, I that wasn't that yet he waited till Black Sabbath and
- 54:05changes so war pigs and then bark at the moon Mama, I'm
- 54:08coming home crazy train. And then he brings Black Sabbath
- 54:11on stage and does Black Sabbath and and changes and that's the
- 54:15first time I heard changes and I was like, wow, that's that's
- 54:17amazing. Now also live and loud is when
- 54:20he bought when he brought Jack, his son at the time on stage,
- 54:24put him on his shoulders and brought him out.
- 54:26And that to me all the all the fucking nonsense that people
- 54:31said about Ozzy being Satanist and evil and dark and blah blah
- 54:35blah. Right when he comes out on stage
- 54:37with this kid on his shoulders, it's just like everybody just
- 54:39shut up. Just.
- 54:40Don't. Well, just the fact that they
- 54:42did a show together for that long and you could tell that the
- 54:46love was genuine. And then Jack and Ozzy went on
- 54:49to do Ozzy and Jack's detour where the road trip.
- 54:52That was great road trip. Great show.
- 54:54And then him and Kelly did something together too.
- 54:56If I remember right. I know they recorded a song
- 54:59together. Yeah, yeah.
- 55:01And then? So they were always together.
- 55:03How bad their dad could he have been if his kids wanted to be
- 55:06around him all the time? Right, right.
- 55:08Exactly. You're stupid.
- 55:12They are Ozzy Live in 2012. I think it's just a compilation
- 55:15of of live songs, which is, I don't know.
- 55:17I don't know, crazy trained believer, Mr. Crowley.
- 55:20Flan high again. Revelations.
- 55:22Steal away the night. Suicide, Steal away the night.
- 55:24Another fucking good song, man. That's Tommy Aldridge on drums
- 55:27too, and that's a great drum song.
- 55:29It's a great song Undercover. Now I have this one because I
- 55:31was intrigued by it because all it is is cover songs.
- 55:36You ever heard that one? 2005 Undercover it's.
- 55:40I tried to listen to it. It's hard, I know.
- 55:43And I must have picked the wrong couple songs to listen to
- 55:46because I wasn't real crazy about Ozzy's version of whatever
- 55:49I was listening to. Do you have the track listing
- 55:51there? I do Rocky Mountain way.
- 55:53That might have been the first one, I wasn't a big fan of that.
- 55:55No, it didn't work in my life. Mississippi Queen that don't
- 56:00work. For me either.
- 56:01Woman, 21st century something. That's the doors, right, isn't
- 56:07it? I don't know, because it's cut
- 56:09off. It's it's not 21 Century Fox.
- 56:11It's the lyrics cut off 2120 first century Schnitzel
- 56:14schnitzoid man Schnitzelman sunshine of your love, for what
- 56:19it's worth. How could that work?
- 56:20How does he do? Sunshine of your love.
- 56:22He can't. Mississippi Queen all the young
- 56:26dudes fire dinner with with Ozzy and and Sharon go now for what
- 56:32it's worth working class hero and it's my life.
- 56:34I just it it it didn't work. I mean, I think those are some
- 56:37of his favorite songs that he. Shouldn't that's what I exactly?
- 56:40Is that where you get out of that?
- 56:41That's totally what I got out of it, totally what I got out.
- 56:44And he wouldn't touch The Beatles because The Beatles were
- 56:45his. Like you don't fuck with The
- 56:48Beatles. I love Ozzy, but yeah, those I
- 56:51tried to listen. Now that you mentioned it, I
- 56:53tried to listen to Mississippi Queen.
- 56:54And what was the first one? Oh, I've long since passed.
- 56:58Anyway, yeah. I tried to listen to the first
- 57:00two and I just, I was like, no, that ain't going to work.
- 57:03No, it just it and I tried, I wanted to, I wanted to like it
- 57:06because I was like, oh, this would be a cool take, you know,
- 57:09And then the rest of the stuff is all these different little
- 57:11live junkets and and little, you know, oh.
- 57:15It was the Joe Walsh 1, Rocky Mountain Wayne.
- 57:17How can you? How can you hear that other than
- 57:19Joe Walsh? Oh, you can't.
- 57:21You just can't. He owns that song.
- 57:23Totally, totally. And then the essential Aussie.
- 57:26This is the one I play more than anything because it truly has
- 57:29everything you could ever want. Crazy, that's the one I
- 57:32gravitate towards. Too crazy training, Mr. Crowley.
- 57:35I don't know, Suicide Solution, Goodbye to Romance, Over the
- 57:38Mountain, Flying High Again, Diver, Madman, Paranoid.
- 57:41That's just the first 9 tracks. Bark at the Moon, You're No
- 57:45Different Than Me, Rock'n'roll Rebel.
- 57:47Crazy, Another great song. Rock'n'roll Rebel and You're No
- 57:50Different Than Me. Both of those should have been
- 57:52the top. 20 right? Both Jakey Lee too.
- 57:56Crazy babies. For my Jake.
- 57:59Crazy Babies, Miracle Man. Fire in the Sky.
- 58:02Ironically enough, I was introduced to Fire in the Sky
- 58:05off this compilation album because I didn't.
- 58:08I never, I don't recall ever hearing it prior to, but
- 58:10obviously I did at some point in time because I had that record.
- 58:12Too, That was on No rest for the wicked.
- 58:14Right, right. Oh yeah, I listen to every track
- 58:16on that one. Zach blew me away when I heard
- 58:18him the first time. That riff for Miracle Man is
- 58:22outstanding. Yeah, breaking all the rules,
- 58:26Mama. I'm coming home, Desire no more
- 58:29tears, Time after time, road to nowhere.
- 58:31I don't want to change the world.
- 58:33Perry Mason, I just want you Thunder underground, See you on
- 58:37the other side. Great song has such relevance
- 58:39right now on my post. Today was the end of that
- 58:42outstanding when I put his, when I posted about him, I had that
- 58:46song as the music behind it. Because that's just, you know.
- 58:49Every time I hear that song, I think about everybody that is
- 58:52not with me anymore that ever taught me anything.
- 58:55You know, that's what I think about when I hear.
- 58:57It's just like, yeah, hopefully we do.
- 59:01Gets me through, gets me through Dreamer and no easy way.
- 59:05That's the essential Ozzy Osbourne great if you want.
- 59:07If you don't have any any like real collection of Ozzy, that's
- 59:10a great collection just to get because you have pretty much
- 59:13everything. Yeah, if you only if you like
- 59:16the ones that everybody else likes.
- 59:18That's a great album for sure. Like Chris and I are, we're into
- 59:22the deep cuts and you know, we don't think that there is a lot
- 59:25of filler on Ozzy albums. But I agree with you, if you're
- 59:28just somebody who's a fringe Ozzy fan, that essential album
- 59:32is the definitely the best. And it's the one I gravitate
- 59:34towards the most too, because there's just such a variety on
- 59:38there of his history. From Randy Rhodes to Zack Wylde
- 59:42to Jakey Lee, you hear everything from the early 80s to
- 59:46the 90s to present day. It is a great album.
- 59:50Yeah, so the other thing that he's known for, right?
- 59:56You had Lollapalooza, right? And then you had Oz Fest.
- 59:59So Lollapalooza was all the. I saw him twice at Oz Fest and.
- 1:00:03Then you had and you had Oz Fest, and that started in the
- 1:00:0690s. Scott and I went once all.
- 1:00:09Right. And that was busy.
- 1:00:10With him one time. That's cool.
- 1:00:11And that was that was Sharon's doing.
- 1:00:13Because he wasn't, he wasn't. He wasn't drawing like he was.
- 1:00:16So she's like, let's do this. Let's figure out how to get
- 1:00:19seats. People in the seats and and.
- 1:00:22And it was such a cool concept, dude, because you had the big
- 1:00:25stage where you had like Rob Zombie at the time and Slipknot
- 1:00:30and. System of a down.
- 1:00:31System of the Down. Rage Against the Machine.
- 1:00:34All the big bands of the time, but then about, you know, 203
- 1:00:39hundred yards away you would have a side stage where you
- 1:00:42would see bands like, and I'm going to get this wrong, but it
- 1:00:45would be more like the Goo Goo Dolls were coming up at the time
- 1:00:50and you know, bands of that stature before they became big.
- 1:00:53It was just like a medium sized venue where maybe a couple 1000
- 1:00:57people would see the side stage. It was really cool.
- 1:01:00You got to see like 20 bands for what 8 hours or something?
- 1:01:06The show was all day. It started at like 1:00 in the
- 1:01:09afternoon or 3:00 in the afternoon and it didn't end till
- 1:01:12midnight. So you were there for like 9 or
- 1:01:1410 hours? Yeah, exactly.
- 1:01:18And I, I mean, that kind of set up the way to do festivals too,
- 1:01:21for the, you know. And for the people that don't
- 1:01:23know, Sharon was Ozzy's manager who was his wife, and she has
- 1:01:28been touted as being one of the shrewdest business women out
- 1:01:32there as far as knowing how the business works.
- 1:01:34Her dad was the president of the label that Black Black Sabbath
- 1:01:39was signed to at the time. Right.
- 1:01:42So she understood how the business worked from a very
- 1:01:45young age and yeah, obviously was very good at what she did
- 1:01:48because she kept Ozzy financially solvent for his
- 1:01:52entire life. Right and and now right, he's
- 1:01:55going to be one of those artists that lives on infamy because
- 1:01:59his. Catalog is right legendary.
- 1:02:01Right. And he's in, he's in the.
- 1:02:03I forget what it is, but. He's in the Rock and Roll Hall
- 1:02:05of Fame twice, right? Black right with the name.
- 1:02:08Right, but remember the the the Ozzie and the Jack and Ozzie
- 1:02:11detour where they went to the to the underground archives?
- 1:02:15Yes. Crazy Trains in there, The
- 1:02:17original recording of Crazy Train, 'cause they played it,
- 1:02:19Yeah, I mean that. How cool is that?
- 1:02:21Right for somebody who who grew up dirt poor in a fucking.
- 1:02:26Dark and that the whole world said was trying to introduce
- 1:02:28devil worship to the planet. Right.
- 1:02:32And how's he close every show? Thank you.
- 1:02:34I love you. God bless you all.
- 1:02:35Good night. Every every night, like just I
- 1:02:38love you all. God bless you.
- 1:02:40Yeah, yeah. There was this.
- 1:02:41There was a thing backstage at the at his final concert, that
- 1:02:46Youngblood, that kid coming up from the UK, right?
- 1:02:48I'm trying to get him on the show but he's not responding to
- 1:02:51me. Hey, come on man. 21 countries.
- 1:02:54Right. Ozzy gave him one of his crosses
- 1:02:56and so Youngblood had one made and was giving it, giving it to
- 1:03:00Ozzy. So that was a cool little moment
- 1:03:02behind behind the behind the scenes with him and Sharon
- 1:03:06Youngblood. Now, the reason I bring that up,
- 1:03:08there's other stuff going around where it's it's got to be a
- 1:03:11generator shit where he's like he can't talk and move.
- 1:03:13And how they they stripped of the music away from the vocals.
- 1:03:16And it's like the real the real Ozzy at that concert was
- 1:03:22somebody who was coherent and aware and he was having a
- 1:03:25conversation. Youngblood Sharon was next to
- 1:03:27him. He was sitting down obviously
- 1:03:28because the parking, the accident when he broke his back
- 1:03:30on the ATV accident on his in his English England.
- 1:03:33I remember. That.
- 1:03:35Right. That's what they kind of point
- 1:03:37toward that caused the problem because then they got back
- 1:03:39surgery. Back surgery for someone like
- 1:03:42Ozzy who spent an entire lifetime and then some
- 1:03:46destroying his body, right? Let's be honest, the dude
- 1:03:49inhaled no question, smoked and no question.
- 1:03:52I mean. It's a wonder to deny.
- 1:03:54That no, absolutely not. You know he'd be like fuck
- 1:03:57rock'n'roll. Let's do some more.
- 1:03:59Right. But that's the thing so that
- 1:04:01that like any any tragic bone break when you're old, let's say
- 1:04:09Ozzy's old, he was 76. So this was 73 ish when it
- 1:04:12happened, maybe 7070 ish when it happened.
- 1:04:15You break your back and then you have to go get surgery on your
- 1:04:19back. That just opens a whole cannibal
- 1:04:21bass, no question. And so and so in 19, he said
- 1:04:23that when he's when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's
- 1:04:25disease, that that kind of changed everything with him
- 1:04:32because you have the back issue, then you have Parkinson's
- 1:04:36disease. And so I mean, where you going
- 1:04:37to go? You know what I mean?
- 1:04:38I didn't, I always didn't expect them to be around very much
- 1:04:42longer. But today was just like, wow,
- 1:04:44really? It was way quicker than I had
- 1:04:46anticipated. I wish I had saved it, man.
- 1:04:50Sammy Hagar's statement was the best, he said.
- 1:04:54For someone who knew that he was that close to death, and I'm
- 1:04:57paraphrasing, to have played that show however many days ago
- 1:05:02it was, was a true testament to how loyal and appreciative he
- 1:05:08was of the fans that gave him the life that he had for all
- 1:05:13those years. He basically said the way that
- 1:05:16Ozzy went out will never be done again.
- 1:05:19Nobody has that kind of class. Yeah.
- 1:05:23I agree with him, I really do. Because the one thing that you
- 1:05:26just said that people don't know if they've never been to an Ozzy
- 1:05:29concert is he literally said exactly what Chris just said
- 1:05:33every night, thousands and thousands of times.
- 1:05:37And he meant it. When you heard him say I love
- 1:05:41you all, you really knew somehow that he really did appreciate
- 1:05:45the fact that you were there on a level that you never heard
- 1:05:48from any other artist. I did.
- 1:05:50I saw him five times. And at the end of every show,
- 1:05:53when he did what you said, I felt it in my heart.
- 1:05:57You could feel it coming out of his voice.
- 1:05:59I love you all. So this wasn't a.
- 1:06:01Fate. No, not at all.
- 1:06:03So this is what Sammy said. I can't say enough about how
- 1:06:06impressed, inspired, and touched I am about the Back to the
- 1:06:09Beginning event. Especially Ozzy, Bill, Tony, and
- 1:06:12Geezer. They just did it.
- 1:06:15They fucking crushed it. And let's not forget about the
- 1:06:17musicians that showed up and gave it up for the right
- 1:06:20reasons. And by the way, if you didn't
- 1:06:22know this, it raised $150 million. 190.
- 1:06:26OK, my bad, $190 million for Birmingham Hospital.
- 1:06:31It's right. It's it's yeah, it's the single
- 1:06:34highest grossing charitable concert in the history of the
- 1:06:36world. And that money they Right.
- 1:06:39And that money will have such a. Dramatic impact on for years and
- 1:06:43years and years to come. He continues to say.
- 1:06:46As for me being asked to be a part of this event, I'm I.
- 1:06:49It meant the world. What a horrible doing it.
- 1:06:53Right, you meant the world, and actually doing it in real time
- 1:06:57is something I'll never forget. How about extra?
- 1:07:01The extra love and respect for Sharon and Tom Morello and all
- 1:07:04the technicians, crew, security and the fans that made this
- 1:07:07event not just happen, but made it one of the greatest
- 1:07:09rock'n'roll events of all time. Thank you to all, Sammy Hagar.
- 1:07:12The fact that Sammy called out Tom Morello tells you how
- 1:07:15instrumental he was in helping get that thing arranged.
- 1:07:18Because the one thing that people don't realize about music
- 1:07:22and musicians as we live all over the world, right?
- 1:07:26But there's people like Chris and I who know other people
- 1:07:29through the fringes. And Tom Morello knows people
- 1:07:32through the fringes on a level that we can't even imagine.
- 1:07:35And what he does is he picks up a cell phone and goes, hey,
- 1:07:39Slash, what are you doing? It's Tom Morello.
- 1:07:40Yeah, Hey, we need to meet in England at whatever date because
- 1:07:44Ozzy's OK. I'll be there.
- 1:07:46OK, next. Time.
- 1:07:46Yeah, exactly it. Wasn't a question.
- 1:07:48Name Setfield. What are you doing?
- 1:07:49Tom Morello here. Oh, hey, Tom, what are you
- 1:07:51doing? Hey, you need to meet me in
- 1:07:52England because Ozzy request. OK, I'll be there.
- 1:07:55That's who Tom Morello was. Just so people know he's got the
- 1:07:59connections because. Oh, go ahead.
- 1:08:03No, I've just, I've just, I've just, I just fuck.
- 1:08:06Where is it? I just, I jumped online and
- 1:08:09there's this image that somebody created with AI.
- 1:08:12I'll put it on our page. I'm going to put on my right
- 1:08:14now. Ozzy, Ron and James Gio, Lemmy
- 1:08:17and Renny Rhodes sitting at the table with whiskey and smoking,
- 1:08:20laughing and smiling. I hope they are.
- 1:08:22I really do. I hope Jimmy's there and Janice
- 1:08:25and yeah, let's put a band together.
- 1:08:30That's that's cool, man. That's really cool.
- 1:08:34And it's it's, it's, it's an AI thing, I'm sure.
- 1:08:36But it's fucking badass, man. That's awesome.
- 1:08:39I'm going to put on the Christian mic show right now.
- 1:08:42Those guys are awesome. Yeah, that's one of those
- 1:08:46things, man. If you know anybody's belief
- 1:08:49about the the afterlife and things like that, it's
- 1:08:51everybody's own, sure, you know, And it would.
- 1:08:54We don't know. We don't know.
- 1:08:56Nobody knows. Only thing you can be you can be
- 1:08:58a Bible thump of Christian walk and.
- 1:09:00I don't care. You don't know.
- 1:09:02Right. You don't know you.
- 1:09:03Don't know and thank and thankfully, here's a pun that
- 1:09:07I'll throw out there. Thank God you don't know because
- 1:09:09it means you're. Still.
- 1:09:10Alive, right? Right.
- 1:09:13I'm so happy that I'm sitting here on a Tuesday night talking
- 1:09:15to my brother. You know, I hope that continues
- 1:09:18for many years to come, but you just never know.
- 1:09:20And the last few weeks and actually the last year has
- 1:09:24really taught me because I have a good friend who's lost way too
- 1:09:28many family members. It just shows you.
- 1:09:31It's like the things that people really hold dear and I, I don't
- 1:09:37have a lot of good examples and I don't want to degrade anybody
- 1:09:40anyway, but the way that I look at life is a lot of things that
- 1:09:44people really hold dear. I could give a shit less about
- 1:09:47in the past is the first one right?
- 1:09:50And what people think about me is right up there too.
- 1:09:53You said it best. 100 years ago when we started this podcast, I,
- 1:09:57I tried to pay my bills with other people's opinions and that
- 1:10:00didn't work out too well. So I could give a shit.
- 1:10:03That's what people think of me. And you were?
- 1:10:07Just not sweating this ball stuff.
- 1:10:09Yeah, and aside from my group text from my family, you were
- 1:10:12the second person I said that Ozzy.
- 1:10:13Ozzy is no longer with us today. Thank you.
- 1:10:18Yeah, yeah. And then what was ironic then?
- 1:10:20Then Jake sends a message. Dude, Ozzy's dead.
- 1:10:23I'm like, I know, dude. He's like on my bed.
- 1:10:30I'm like, did you see the group text?
- 1:10:32William Richard Carr just messaged us.

- 1:11:31really want to rehash what he remembers about the old days
- 1:11:34and. Move forward.
- 1:11:37No, I just want to, I want to get our music down.
- 1:11:40I mean, it sucks we we can't do it without Scott, but I just, I
- 1:11:44want to get them down. I want to.
- 1:11:44We learned, yeah, we learned how to, to upload to Apple.
- 1:11:48So we're going to, we're going to get what Freeman uploaded to
- 1:11:50Apple just and do it under Scott as a dedication to Scott just to
- 1:11:54get that out there. Yes, we're going to find
- 1:11:56somebody to program those drums just like he played them.
- 1:11:59Yeah, maybe we should. We should hit Lemoyne.
- 1:12:01That's my thought. I yeah, that would be cool.
- 1:12:04Yeah, he would like. A credit.
- 1:12:05I think he'd do it. He digs our music.
- 1:12:07I think he'd do it. I think he would too.
- 1:12:09Yeah, we'll give him. $100 to to to produce us.
- 1:12:14We won't give him 50 grand like he could have been Black Album
- 1:12:16for. We'll give him 100 bucks some.
- 1:12:19More We want it done tomorrow. You'll get produced your credit,
- 1:12:23man. Of course he will.
- 1:12:25Yeah, yeah. I'd be honored if he'd do it.
- 1:12:29Yeah, his stuff's blowing up, too.
- 1:12:31Oh, I see. Every time I turn around, I'm
- 1:12:32seeing something about that song.
- 1:12:34It's so damn catchy, dude. Right?
- 1:12:36It gets stuck in my head. Yeah.
- 1:12:38It's crazy. I'm gonna, I'm gonna out, I'm
- 1:12:40gonna out myself. Lemoyne, OK?
- 1:12:41I wanna hate and I'm I guarantee he's the same way 'cause he
- 1:12:44wrote it and he had to hear it a million times.
- 1:12:46And musicians can talk to each other this way.
- 1:12:48I wanna hate that fucking song, I do.
- 1:12:53But it's so catchy it just gets stuck.
- 1:12:55And that's why I want to hate it because every time I hear it, it
- 1:12:58gets stuck in my head and I can't stop singing it, which is
- 1:13:01why people love it. So kudos to you brother.
- 1:13:04That's a great. Song Yep, Yep, Yep.
- 1:13:12So yeah, let's get Rick on. Let's jam my music and shit and.
- 1:13:17We're literally the Blues Brothers.
- 1:13:19We're putting the band back together.
- 1:13:20Yes, we are yes, we are. So we've we've gone over all of
- 1:13:25Ozzy's catalog. We've got what we thought, what
- 1:13:28we think of the the best songs. You know anything else you want
- 1:13:32to touch it? There was oh, here, here, here
- 1:13:34we go this so we'll get out of music.
- 1:13:35So you remember the the the my truck rubbing against that
- 1:13:38idiot's car right up in months park.
- 1:13:41I told you about that, right? Yeah.
- 1:13:43OK, so I got the police report, OK.
- 1:13:48He has the police report, ladies and gentlemen, He's grabbing it
- 1:13:50off his office. Desk here.
- 1:13:52The one that's claiming damages? Yes.
- 1:13:56Hired a lawyer. The police report vehicle 2,
- 1:14:01which is mine. I'm sorry.
- 1:14:04Vehicle 2 was parked at the southeast closest pump to the
- 1:14:09fueling station when when I entered and tried to navigate
- 1:14:12through a highly congested parking lot, vehicle two rubbed
- 1:14:18against the bumper of vehicle 1 Fender.
- 1:14:22That's the whole report. That's it.
- 1:14:23The benefit of what this gave me was the person's name, her
- 1:14:28criminal record, of which one is for insurance fraud.
- 1:14:32Oh, isn't that fantastic? And 2424 April of 2024, she was
- 1:14:40charged with insurance fraud along with all other laundry
- 1:14:43list of of past disorderly conducts, convictions, things
- 1:14:46like that. What's even more fun is my
- 1:14:49daughter being my daughter because she just has this innate
- 1:14:52ability to to go down the rabbit holes found her Facebook page
- 1:14:56found her Instagram page the day of the accident.
- 1:14:59She actually posted a video of herself.
- 1:15:04The, the opening up part of the video was a lawyer, basically,
- 1:15:08oh, you ever been in an accident, you know, car crash,
- 1:15:11blah, blah, blah, whatever you need a lawyer, click here.
- 1:15:14And then it has the, the mile marker for Muns Park coming up.
- 1:15:18And then she, she pans the, the manufactured home they were
- 1:15:21staying at for the weekend at Muns Park and how life was
- 1:15:24grand. Two days later, she was at some
- 1:15:27Oceanside resort in San Diego. Because then the following day,
- 1:15:30her son graduated from the United States Marine Corps.
- 1:15:37Insurance fraud. I took all that documentation
- 1:15:40and I sent it to the claims adjuster.
- 1:15:42When I opened up the file, they paid her $1500.
- 1:15:44I'm like for what? They paid her. $15109 for that
- 1:15:49and I have I have a guy that I sold a house to.
- 1:15:53He runs a bike shop in Colorado, at least he did forever.
- 1:15:55And I'm talking you build the motorcycle from the ground up.
- 1:15:58He's that guy. He looked at the picture, the
- 1:16:01picture that I posted on Facebook and text me car cleaner
- 1:16:045 minutes. I'll get that off carb cleaner.
- 1:16:09The extent of the damage of this lady's car would have been
- 1:16:11resolved within 5 minutes with carburetor cleaner.
- 1:16:14Don't even need a Body Shop. Don't even need a Body Shop so
- 1:16:17how she plucked 1500 bucks is beyond me.
- 1:16:20Well, I told you this, I saw the picture.
- 1:16:22I'm a fucking idiot, and I knew it was an easy fix.
- 1:16:24Like I said, it sucks if it was you, but there's no dent,
- 1:16:29there's no damage, there's no break.
- 1:16:31There's, you know, like you said, that that guy who knows
- 1:16:33what he's talking about said we'll buffer out with some
- 1:16:36carpet cleaner. A 2015 Nissan Sentra that has a
- 1:16:40salvage title. So her claim of you just win my
- 1:16:43$9000 paint job lie. And then what's best about this
- 1:16:47woman her little her little bio on Facebook.
- 1:16:51What's it say I heart God? Oh, of course she.
- 1:16:54Does she also has a video why she's in church and she's
- 1:16:57panning in the pews because she's obviously Catholic?
- 1:17:00No nothing wrong with that but she's panning as people go down
- 1:17:03the aisle for mass. So not only is she a God lover,
- 1:17:08she's a warrior, Catholic and a a father or a mother to a
- 1:17:12marine. I respect that part.
- 1:17:14Sure, she's lying piece of shit. Yeah, 100%.
- 1:17:19Who just I'm like, really? I don't understand people, man.
- 1:17:24I don't know what I told you, that's why I stay inside a lot.
- 1:17:26Right. And what sucks is it's going to
- 1:17:27make my insurance go up higher because she took advantage of
- 1:17:30the situation. So I'm hopefully, I'm hoping
- 1:17:31that that my auto insurance, which is AAA, they will go after
- 1:17:35her for insurance fraud. I have her home.
- 1:17:37They do. I have her home address too.
- 1:17:39So I was thinking about when I'm out showing houses just doing a
- 1:17:41drive by and if she's out front take a video.
- 1:17:43Well, she obviously didn't learn her fucking lesson because she
- 1:17:45here she is what, less than a year later trying to do the same
- 1:17:48bullshit again? A.
- 1:17:49Little over a year, because it was.
- 1:17:50It was April 24th. Now it's July 2014.
- 1:17:53Months, ten months still, you would have thought that if you
- 1:17:58got away with it once, right, you wouldn't you know, she was
- 1:18:02close to not getting away with it the first time.
- 1:18:04So she's. Imagine how stupid.
- 1:18:07Imagine how many packages of blueberry pie Oreos you could
- 1:18:10buy with $1500. Are those delicious?
- 1:18:12Oh. My God, dude, yeah, Oh my God.
- 1:18:14I got to get some. I forgot.
- 1:18:16About them it it tastes like blueberry pie, man.
- 1:18:18Oh, I want one. Even Nikki was.
- 1:18:21Like I'll buy some for my upcoming trip.
- 1:18:24Oh, she liked them too. Oh, she was like holy shit, they
- 1:18:26they went over so well. My broker Nick bought them for a
- 1:18:30class we had last week so we could all enjoy the broker the
- 1:18:35the Oreo cookies. I'm going to read some of her
- 1:18:37stuff. This would be fun.
- 1:18:40This is the real role relevant show you have.
- 1:18:44OK, I'm not going to I won't. I also have her Social Security
- 1:18:46number, her home address and her birthday which made.
- 1:18:48That off the show. I will.
- 1:18:49I will. She does have a placard, a honey
- 1:18:53cat placard card. Of course she does salvage title
- 1:19:00so it's not even a brand new car.
- 1:19:02Real quick, let me tell you about this guy that has a
- 1:19:05handicap placard title in a lifted truck the other day.
- 1:19:08That was special. Not kidding, You can't make this
- 1:19:11shit up. Dude, I remember I didn't.
- 1:19:15I didn't print that out. Scott has sent me that in a
- 1:19:18screenshot. See if I can find it real quick.
- 1:19:23That's. Fucking crazy man.
- 1:19:25But what's what's, what's crazy about it is just just how how
- 1:19:34she tries to pretend. Well, that's what those people
- 1:19:39do, because they don't want to work.
- 1:19:41I know it's just. You know that's what it is.
- 1:19:43She's playing the system right. Yeah, I told, I told Nikki and
- 1:19:47Sky. I'm like, she's she's a a female
- 1:19:49version of Frank Gallagher from Shameless.
- 1:19:51Yeah, there you go. At least he was a lovable, funny
- 1:19:54character though. Right.
- 1:19:56What the hell would I do with this stuff, man?
- 1:19:58I don't remember where I put it. I'll, I'll save it for next
- 1:20:01time. It'll be a nice little thing.
- 1:20:02Next time. Read her Criminal Criminal
- 1:20:06activity. You find your way into some
- 1:20:10unique situations, I'll. Give you that and it's just, you
- 1:20:14know, the the guy was supposed to come do the sidewalk.
- 1:20:16This is another situation with me.
- 1:20:18Remember the contractor, Fidel that just you know, so a couple
- 1:20:22weeks ago I was like, dude, just little man trips fell off the
- 1:20:24sidewalk and into the dirt part. I'm like, dude, I called him up.
- 1:20:27You just need to at least come do my concrete, man.
- 1:20:29I already paid you for it. At least just come do the
- 1:20:31concrete. Be a human, come do the
- 1:20:32concrete. Then we'll work out a payment
- 1:20:33plan for the rest of the money you owe me.
- 1:20:35So he's all on board, right? Texting Monday, blah, blah,
- 1:20:39blah. Couldn't get there.
- 1:20:40It was too late in the day. So Friday comes, he's like, you
- 1:20:43know, I'm, he starts texting in the morning.
- 1:20:44I got this, this and this. We're going to take care of it.
- 1:20:46I'm like, all right, cool. You know, 5:00 he's still not
- 1:20:49here, hasn't, hasn't responded to text, hasn't responded to
- 1:20:52phone calls. I even sent a video.
- 1:20:54Then I'm going to drop that just calls him out again.
- 1:20:57Nothing, nothing. And I'm really, it's, I don't
- 1:21:01get it, man. I just don't get it.
- 1:21:05It's hard to get people to want to work anymore, man.
- 1:21:08Well, it's hard to get people to work when they steal your money
- 1:21:10and then make all these stories about it and then and you know.
- 1:21:13Like, well, you know, that's that guy's MO.
- 1:21:15I mean, you're not the first person he fucking did that to.
- 1:21:17That's. For sure.
- 1:21:19No. And and he's not, he's not going
- 1:21:21to be able to get a contractor's license ever again.
- 1:21:24Like it's like, so you think you at least want to, you know, try
- 1:21:29to make up for it. But no, no, absolutely not.
- 1:21:34Can't fix stupid, as Ryan White says.
- 1:21:36He cannot fix stupid. So there you go.
- 1:21:39Long live Ozzy Osbourne. He'll be forever remembered
- 1:21:42because airwaves and SiriusXM has a whole, their channel is
- 1:21:45nothing but tribute to Ozzy, which was cool until they
- 1:21:48started stopping the music and having people calling them with
- 1:21:51stories, which I get, but you just you know, I mean, I listen
- 1:21:55to Ozzy Osbourne. I mean, he's on almost every
- 1:21:57playlist I have, you know, because he's just because it's
- 1:22:00Ozzy, right? So it's not, it's not a sad day
- 1:22:03because we all knew it was coming.
- 1:22:04And I don't, I don't get why people are like, oh, you know,
- 1:22:07this one's hard. Well, I get it's hard, but
- 1:22:10unless you know the person, unless he's with you every
- 1:22:12single walking part of your life, like it's got to be hard
- 1:22:14for Jack and Sharon, of course, you know, and Kelly and all the
- 1:22:20grandkids and the. People that played in his band
- 1:22:23and worked on his Rd. crew. Those people, yes, it's a hard
- 1:22:27day. He was the boss.
- 1:22:28That's what Zach called him. Yeah, you and I, we didn't know
- 1:22:31the man. We, we love his music.
- 1:22:33We love his. He's one of the reasons I played
- 1:22:35music for sure. I.
- 1:22:37Never met him. I'm not crying.
- 1:22:40No, you know, not to say that we're not.
- 1:22:42You know, we're bummed because it's Ozzy, because the world now
- 1:22:46just got a little quieter. Yeah, there's not.
- 1:22:49There's not. There's one less person to give
- 1:22:53the middle finger to. The people that think that
- 1:22:55they're living their life the right way.
- 1:22:57I'm going to say it like that. Yeah, that's a good.
- 1:22:59That's a. Good.
- 1:22:59I'm that same person. I'm going to call you on your
- 1:23:01bullshit. Why do you think you're right?
- 1:23:04You're not right? No, you're just living your way,
- 1:23:06the way you see things through your perspective.
- 1:23:09And that's fine as long as you don't try and push it on me.
- 1:23:12That was agreed, right? That's how he lived his life.
- 1:23:16You can do whatever you want, but you're not going to push
- 1:23:17your bullshit on me because that's what it is.
- 1:23:20It's bullshit. It's just an ideology that you
- 1:23:23carry around. We're all doing the same thing.
- 1:23:28All right. This is how we're going to wrap
- 1:23:29today up after the, the, the, the standard.
- 1:23:34Hey, if you're feeling bad, you know, somebody miss you,
- 1:23:37somebody's going to miss you, somebody's going to love you.
- 1:23:39Don't leave a hole in somebody's heart because you took the
- 1:23:41coward's way out. You know, go to sleep, take a
- 1:23:43breath, meditate, journal, journaling.
- 1:23:47Worse wonders if you're in, if you're depressed.
- 1:23:49So write your thoughts down, you know, talk to somebody.
- 1:23:52Tomorrow will be a better day. We promise you that, OK?
- 1:23:55Then you'll go back and look at those later and have a different
- 1:23:58perspective on you'll. You'll understand.
- 1:24:00I agree with you because I wrote a lot of stuff down during that
- 1:24:03time. No, Yeah, see.
- 1:24:05And I journaled for years. So we're going to leave you with
- 1:24:09this voices. 1000 thousand voices.
- 1:24:12Which being the time has passed for choices.
- 1:24:15Golden days are passing over. Yeah.
- 1:24:17I can't seem to see you, baby, Although my eyes are open wide.
- 1:24:21But I know I'll see you once more When I see you.
- 1:24:24I'll see you on the other side with that boys and girls.
- 1:24:27Ozzy Osbourne. You'll be you'll be missed.
- 1:24:29And by quiet, I meant you won't have his little media drops and
- 1:24:34his little quirks in the world anymore.
- 1:24:37His music will live on forever and ever.
- 1:24:40But it is. It is a sad day for the heavy
- 1:24:43metal world and the rock odds have called him home.
- 1:24:46So nothing but love and peace for the Osborne family.
- 1:24:49And you know, thank you for everything you did for the world
- 1:24:52of music, Ozzy. You're appreciated.
- 1:24:53And just for the world in general, for sure.
