2:30
SPEAKER_10: For about 20 minutes, 21 minutes.
2:32
SPEAKER_09: It was close, it was getting close to half an hour to the point where I was like, well, this might be an easy night.
2:37
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and you know, it's it's funny because the manager came to us and was like, you know, I'm sorry.
2:41
SPEAKER_03: I thought there'd be more people.
2:44
SPEAKER_03: And honestly, well, two two things, two two observations.
2:48
SPEAKER_03: When the manager, and this is this is because you know, people get busy.
2:53
SPEAKER_03: This is not to cast shade on the manager because he's a nice guy.
2:57
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I like him.
2:58
SPEAKER_03: Um when you advertise us the day before or the morning of, right, you know, because I had sent him an email because usually they're pretty good about saying, Hey, coming out this Saturday, it's this, and they run it all week long.
3:11
SPEAKER_00: Right.
3:11
SPEAKER_03: I saw nothing, nothing, and nothing.
3:13
SPEAKER_09: And we weren't gonna do it because you know Well, we I don't know if we sh why do we have to?
3:20
SPEAKER_09: I mean, do we have to promote ourselves?
3:21
SPEAKER_03: Well, usually you do, but I mean I understand but we're we suck at that.
3:25
SPEAKER_09: We don't even promote this.
3:26
SPEAKER_03: Right, this is true.
3:27
SPEAKER_03: So we suck at promotions.
3:29
SPEAKER_03: So I sent him uh an email like two days before the gig.
3:33
SPEAKER_03: And I said, just uh in case you're doing this, I said for clarification, because the last time we played here there was some confusion.
3:40
SPEAKER_03: They thought it was the full band.
3:42
SPEAKER_00: Right.
3:42
SPEAKER_03: I said, please specify that it's Common Crossing Duo.
3:45
SPEAKER_03: And I said, here's a picture.
3:47
SPEAKER_03: And it was a picture of you.
3:48
SPEAKER_03: Actually, it's the one on our our O'Brien and Doug Facebook page.
3:51
SPEAKER_03: It's just two the two of us just said here's a picture in Common Crossing Duo.
3:56
SPEAKER_03: Uh in case you in case you're gonna do anything.
3:58
SPEAKER_03: So I sent it to him and I didn't hear anything.
4:00
SPEAKER_03: And then I think it was the next day, which would have been Thursday or Friday, he says, We're we're pumped to have you.
4:07
SPEAKER_03: Okay, great.
4:09
SPEAKER_03: But then there was nothing.
4:11
SPEAKER_03: They didn't put anything out.
4:12
SPEAKER_03: And then when they did put it out, which was I think either late, late Friday night or early Saturday morning.
4:17
SPEAKER_03: We played Saturday night, it was Common Crossing, and it was like from our Common Crossing band page.
4:24
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I was about to say it was like a drum set on my um and so I I shared it, and I said, Well, just the it's the duo, it's not the full band.
4:33
SPEAKER_03: And and I actually commented on their post too.
4:37
SPEAKER_03: So, but I don't think I and we I told him, I said, I don't think it's the place.
4:43
SPEAKER_03: I don't think it's us.
4:45
SPEAKER_03: I think people just around here are just fickle and don't go out and well there was already a big advantage.
4:53
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, so I mean they thought they they thought they were gonna get some like dregs from that.
4:59
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but see the you know the banquet had food.
5:01
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right, and they don't have and alcohol, I think probably.
5:04
SPEAKER_03: Maybe not, I don't know.
5:05
SPEAKER_03: But they had food.
5:06
SPEAKER_03: They're not gonna come down uh they're gonna go home because they're full.
5:10
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
5:10
SPEAKER_03: You know, they've had enough.
5:11
SPEAKER_03: They've had enough, they're not gonna go back downstairs.
5:13
SPEAKER_09: I mean, we had a cute, cute bartender.
5:15

5:16
SPEAKER_09: So I mean, I was like, you know, uh, you remember her, Alexis from uh she used to work at the Irish Setter.

SPEAKER_03: She's really she's really nice.
5:35
SPEAKER_03: It's a nice place, and it's a it's a it's a nice gig, but it's the you know, it's I don't know, an acquired taste, I guess.
5:42
SPEAKER_09: I don't know.
5:43
SPEAKER_09: I I just think they need to promote it more, you know.
5:45
SPEAKER_09: It's like hey, it's also downstairs.
5:48
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it's kind of out of the way.
5:50

5:52
SPEAKER_09: There's no there's no like outside stimulus.
5:56
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.

5:59
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
6:00
SPEAKER_09: You know?
6:01
SPEAKER_03: And you know, they have to imagine they have there's a lot of stairs to go down to get down there.
6:06
SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah, yeah.
6:06
SPEAKER_03: And imagine being uh a little inebriated going down and up those stairs.
6:11
SPEAKER_09: It's probably well my uncle would know all about that.
6:14

6:34
SPEAKER_09: And then I was like, holy crap, it's Tom.

SPEAKER_03: You know what was cool, a cool feeling for me was when we played our original stuff and Tom was there.
6:42

7:25
SPEAKER_10: Put it back in the set.
7:26
SPEAKER_03: Anyway, so that was fun.
7:27
SPEAKER_10: Uh anything anything else happened between uh uh between Oh, we had syndicate rehearsal.
7:34
SPEAKER_03: We did have syndicate rehearsal and I blew my amp.
7:36
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, your amp died.
7:38
SPEAKER_03: I'm not sure what what what's going on there, but uh I don't know if I want to tear it apart and see if what's wrong with it or because it's a is it worth it?
7:49

7:51
SPEAKER_03: It's a vox.

7:57
SPEAKER_03: Uh it's a it's a modeler amp.

8:03
SPEAKER_09: There's gonna be a toy airplane inside.
8:05

SPEAKER_03: So I don't know if I want to do that or I don't know.
8:11
SPEAKER_03: I have another amp.
8:12
SPEAKER_09: It's a lot heavier, but uh well they should make lighter amps.
8:18
SPEAKER_03: They should.
8:18
SPEAKER_03: That's why I got this one.
8:19
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
8:20
SPEAKER_03: Because A, it's a modeler and it's just fun for practicing.
8:22
SPEAKER_09: Well, they they should make it out of hemp.
8:24
SPEAKER_03: Well, they make everything out of hemp, don't they?
8:26
SPEAKER_09: Well, yeah, why can't they make a monitor out of hemp?
8:29
SPEAKER_09: And then when you get bored with it, you just set it on fire and smoke it.

SPEAKER_03: Um, and I think you know, we always talk about how rock and roll is, you know, you know, uh an offshoot of the blues.
13:51
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
13:52
SPEAKER_03: And she's rhythm and blues.
13:54
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
13:54
SPEAKER_03: You know, so okay.
13:56
SPEAKER_03: I'm okay with that.
13:57

14:32

14:37
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
14:38
SPEAKER_03: You know, I I don't know if I'm just softening on on that.
14:42
SPEAKER_09: I think I've convinced you that rap is okay.
14:45
SPEAKER_03: Well, because it's it's you know, and honestly, yeah, I think you may be right because it's the way you put it was like rock and roll was about rebellion.
14:56
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
14:57
SPEAKER_03: And so is rap.
14:58
SPEAKER_03: Rap is about rebellion.
14:59
SPEAKER_03: And rap, for all intents and purposes, there's also folk music.
15:02
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
15:03
SPEAKER_03: You know?
15:03
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, well you know, modern day folk.

SPEAKER_03: Modern day folk, and but it is about rebellion.
15:08
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
15:08
SPEAKER_03: And okay.
15:10
SPEAKER_03: I'm kind of I'm kind of softening to that.
15:13
SPEAKER_09: Eventually rap's gonna become very mainstreamed.
15:17
SPEAKER_09: And then there's gonna have to be another like resurgence of something to get it like I don't think it's already mainstreamed.
15:24
SPEAKER_09: Oh, it is mainstream, but it's gonna even come it's gonna be like Taylor Swift's mainstream.
15:29

31:33
SPEAKER_10: It's a four-part probably, yeah.
31:35
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
31:36
SPEAKER_03: So um but speaking of uh John Bon Jovi, um an interviewer asked him, because you know he's been he's been saying this publicly, he may not sing again live.
31:50
SPEAKER_03: Because with the new album, he was able to you know, he had that surgery, that vocal surgery.
31:56
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
31:57
SPEAKER_03: And with the new album, he was able to take his time and record the vocals.
32:02
SPEAKER_03: Right.
32:02
SPEAKER_03: And we all know what you can do in the studio.
32:05
SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
32:05
SPEAKER_03: Right.
32:05
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
32:06
SPEAKER_03: But for him to get up on stage and sing for two hours, he's he's openly saying, if I can't do it, I'm done.
32:14
SPEAKER_09: Well, I don't I don't blame him.
32:15
SPEAKER_03: I don't either.
32:16
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know.
32:17
SPEAKER_03: He's like, it's like a baseball player or a or a quarterback.
32:20
SPEAKER_03: You know, if I if I don't have it, I'm done.
32:22
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
32:24
SPEAKER_03: And he's a gajillionaire anyway, and his his his his honestly legendary status.
32:30
SPEAKER_03: I mean, he's an i he's an icon.
32:32
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
32:32
SPEAKER_03: Uh and the band is an icon.
32:33
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
32:34
SPEAKER_03: Um, but they asked him if there was one song that you could sing that would be the last song you ever sang, what would it be?
32:44
SPEAKER_03: Do you think you can guess?
32:46
SPEAKER_10: No, I would have no idea.
32:48
SPEAKER_10: Well, I mean, what do you what do you what are you um what would you think?
32:57
SPEAKER_03: I wanna tell you this.
32:59
SPEAKER_03: It is relatively obscure.
33:01
SPEAKER_03: Because most people would probably say living on a prayer.
33:04
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I was gonna say something off of whatever.
33:07
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, or wanted dead or alive, or something.
33:10
SPEAKER_03: No.
33:11
SPEAKER_03: Uh, and it actually is, and I'm gonna play a bit a little bit of it because it actually is my favorite Bon Jovi album.
33:21
SPEAKER_03: Which I don't think a lot of people can a lot of people say that.
33:25
SPEAKER_03: This was a darker album, and this is a deep, this is the title cut from it.
33:32
SPEAKER_03: And I don't know, you probably haven't he heard this song.
33:35
SPEAKER_09: Doesn't sound familiar.
33:36
SPEAKER_03: This is called These Days.
33:39
SPEAKER_09: Okay.
33:40
SPEAKER_03: Uh I just want to play a little bit of it.
33:42
SPEAKER_03: This is the song that if he had to stop singing, this would be the last song he sang.
33:49
SPEAKER_06: Uh just listen to it for a second, and I'll read you the the lyrics of the chorus I was walking around just to face in the crowd, trying to keep myself out of the booking I don't think he'd be able to sing this song.
34:48
SPEAKER_09: No, I I think this is the way out of his ring.
34:50
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it is now anyway.
35:46
SPEAKER_03: So let me translate that in case you didn't understand it.
35:49
SPEAKER_03: These days, the stars seem out of reach.
35:53
SPEAKER_03: These days, there ain't a ladder on the streets.
35:57
SPEAKER_03: Meaning I think you can't get pulled up from you know.
36:01
SPEAKER_03: Uh these days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age.
36:05
SPEAKER_03: There ain't nobody left but us these days.
36:08
SPEAKER_03: He says, I think that sort of encapsulates where I am at this moment in time.
36:15
SPEAKER_03: Again, this is a dark album.
36:16
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
36:17
SPEAKER_03: This is a this is a he was in a weird place, but it's my favorite album.
36:22
SPEAKER_03: It's the most real to me.
36:23
SPEAKER_03: And I don't know, it m maybe it's the instrumentation.
36:27
SPEAKER_03: I mean, because there's no it's not slick.
36:29
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know.
36:35
SPEAKER_03: He wrote a song on this album uh for Richie Sambora called, and this is Richie, by the way.
36:40
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
36:40
SPEAKER_03: This is Richie playing.
36:42
SPEAKER_03: Uh, but he wrote a song for Richie called My Guitar Lies Bleeding in My Arms.
36:46
SPEAKER_03: I mean, that's how dark a little dark, yeah.
36:49
SPEAKER_03: But it's it's great.
36:50
SPEAKER_03: It's just uh it's a great album.
36:52
SPEAKER_03: Anyway, um if you if yeah that was from 1995, actually.
36:57
SPEAKER_03: Oh wow the crossroads uh compilation came out, uh the Greatest Hits compilation type thing.
37:03
SPEAKER_03: And then a year later, these days came out.
37:05
SPEAKER_03: So yeah.
37:06
SPEAKER_03: Uh I it's my favorite Bon Jovi album.
37:08
SPEAKER_03: And I was a huge Bon Jovi fan uh up until probably Crush, which was in 2000.
37:14
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
37:14
SPEAKER_03: And then well maybe Havan I'd say was okay, but uh they then just went Yeah after that.
37:20
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
37:20
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
37:21
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
37:22
SPEAKER_03: Um but speaking of uh new music, because we were, um Molly Crew have released their first song since the split with Mick Mars.
37:33
SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
37:34
SPEAKER_09: It's with John Five.
37:35
SPEAKER_03: It is with John Five.
37:36
SPEAKER_03: Uh I only read the article.
37:38
SPEAKER_03: I have not heard the song, uh, and I don't know if it's a full uh actually let me go here and see if it's it's listed on here.
37:48
SPEAKER_03: It may be just a s uh snippet.
38:12
SPEAKER_03: I think it's which is unfortunate.
38:18
SPEAKER_03: Uh forty-one seconds.
39:09
SPEAKER_09: It's it's kind of new metalish, but uh it's pretty good.
39:14
SPEAKER_10: It's it's it's good.
39:16
SPEAKER_10: You know what I worry about?
39:18
SPEAKER_03: Vince Neal coming on.
39:20
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, they didn't really uh showcase him too much.
39:24
SPEAKER_09: But I mean the band sounds tight.
39:26
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
39:27
SPEAKER_03: Uh you're right.
39:29
SPEAKER_03: Kind of new metalish.
39:30
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
39:31
SPEAKER_03: Uh I could like this Motley Crazy.
39:34
SPEAKER_09: I'm kind of I'm intrigued.
39:37
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
39:37
SPEAKER_03: I'm intrigued.
39:38
SPEAKER_03: I'm intrigued.
39:38
SPEAKER_03: That's called Dogs of War.
39:40
SPEAKER_03: Um, and you can you can pre-save it now, I guess.
39:44
SPEAKER_03: Um I'll be interested to see I'll be interested to uh see what the rest of it sounds like.
39:53
SPEAKER_03: Um Yeah.
39:55
SPEAKER_03: Um we'll see what it says about it.
39:58
SPEAKER_03: Uh the first piece of new music from Motley Crue since uh McMurr stepped down from touring in 2022.
40:03
SPEAKER_03: It's gonna be released oh, next Friday.
40:06
SPEAKER_03: The song.
40:06
SPEAKER_03: Oh, okay.
40:07
SPEAKER_03: Uh fans can pre-save the track on all streaming platforms.
40:10
SPEAKER_03: In a promotional post on social media, Motley Crue shared an image of a post-apocalyptic setting inhabited by the band.
40:17
SPEAKER_03: Uh there were z zombie-like figures.
40:20
SPEAKER_03: I have to point out that Vince Neal is looking rather thin.
40:25
SPEAKER_09: I think it's I'm sure he's got a personal trainer of some sort, or I don't think of Photoshop, one or the other.
40:34
SPEAKER_03: I think it's Photoshop.
40:35
SPEAKER_03: But anyway.
40:36
SPEAKER_03: Uh let's see.
40:36
SPEAKER_03: The first two songs since uh John Five.
40:38
SPEAKER_03: Uh it's not the first track he's written with the band.
40:41
SPEAKER_03: He was a longtime close friend of Nikki Six and Motley Crue.
40:43
SPEAKER_03: He co-wrote three songs on the Dirt Biopic soundtrack companion, The Dirt, Ride with the Devil, and Crash and Burn.
40:51
SPEAKER_03: John Five co-wrote those songs.
40:53
SPEAKER_03: Uh that was released in 2019.
40:56
SPEAKER_03: Um so yeah, so it'd be interesting to see.
41:00
SPEAKER_03: Because John Five is a unique guitar player.
41:02
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, he is.
41:03
SPEAKER_03: Um and I think he could probably bring something pretty cool.
41:06
SPEAKER_03: Although, you know, if you've noticed, I mean we played some Mick Mars stuff.
41:11
SPEAKER_03: Mick Mars stuff doesn't sound like Motley Crew.
41:13
SPEAKER_10: No.
41:14
SPEAKER_03: No.
41:14
SPEAKER_03: It sounds better.
41:15
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, it does.
41:16
SPEAKER_03: You know, it's just kind of neat.
41:17
SPEAKER_03: Maybe they were just on different pages.
41:20
SPEAKER_09: Maybe they just needed to get away from each other.
41:21
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, yeah.
41:22
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
41:23
SPEAKER_03: Spark some creativity or something like that.
41:24
SPEAKER_09: Well, I think so, you know.
41:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
41:27
SPEAKER_09: That's all I have.

44:51

SPEAKER_03: Steve Turner.
45:02
SPEAKER_03: And it's not related to Tina.
45:04
SPEAKER_03: A Hard Day's Right is a book about uh the story behind every Beatles single.
45:08
SPEAKER_03: Every song's single Beatles.
45:10
SPEAKER_03: So what song is it today, Doug?
45:11
SPEAKER_09: Well, today's song is a classic.
45:14
SPEAKER_09: Probably not as well known as a lot of them.
45:17
SPEAKER_09: Why don't we do it in the road?
45:19
SPEAKER_09: Why don't we?
45:20
SPEAKER_09: I don't know.
45:21
SPEAKER_09: Well I'm later on.
45:22
SPEAKER_09: Find out why.
45:23
SPEAKER_09: It's illegal, that's probably why.
45:24
SPEAKER_09: Well, probably.
45:25
SPEAKER_09: Uh one of the great strengths of the Lennon and McCartney team was that although they now rarely sat down and created s a song from scratch together, they did egg each other on to greater extremes in what was increasingly to become solo work.
45:41
SPEAKER_09: They always sought to wind the other up, particularly by composing in a style more often associated with the other.
45:49
SPEAKER_09: This explains why the white album contains the sensitive Julia and sentimental Goodnight by Paul in uh by John in Paul's style, as well as gritty rock and roll numbers like Helter Skelter and Why Don't We Do It in the Road from Paul, Ala Lennon.
46:05
SPEAKER_09: John was upset by Why Don't We Do It in the Road because Paul recorded it with Ringo in a separate studio at Abbey Road.
46:13
SPEAKER_09: What probably irritated John most though was that Paul's chosen style, a risque lyric and sparse arrangement, was recognized as his own trademark.
46:23
SPEAKER_09: Paul had the idea for the song while in India when he saw two monkeys copulating in the open.
46:29
SPEAKER_09: That's disappointing.
46:31
SPEAKER_09: He was struck by the apparently uncomplicated way in which animals make compared with the rules, rituals, and routines of human sex.
46:39
SPEAKER_09: The Beatles have always been a rock group, Paul explained in November 1968.
46:44
SPEAKER_09: It's just that we're not completely rock and roll.
46:47
SPEAKER_09: That's why we do obladah one minute and this the next.
46:52
SPEAKER_09: When we played in Hamburg, we didn't play just rock and roll all evening because we had these fat old businessmen coming in, and thin old businessmen as well, and they would ask us to play a mambo or a samba.
47:04
SPEAKER_09: And we had to get into this kind of stuff.
47:07
SPEAKER_03: So Well, you know.
47:09
SPEAKER_06: No one will be watching us! Why don't we do it in the road?
47:15
SPEAKER_03: The whole song is him just saying that.
47:17
SPEAKER_09: Basically, yeah.
47:18
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
47:18
SPEAKER_09: I mean, it's not hard.
47:19
SPEAKER_09: No, it's a it's a I mean we could wrote that as new caters.
47:23
SPEAKER_03: So it's a blues progression, and that's all he does.
47:26
SPEAKER_03: It's just repeat that phrase.
47:27
SPEAKER_09: Well, it's just it's like drums, guitar, a piano, and why don't we do it in the road?
47:33
SPEAKER_09: Simple.
47:34
SPEAKER_03: But it's because it was the Beatles.
47:36
SPEAKER_09: It's simple and it was the Gibbs.
47:38
SPEAKER_09: Like doing it in the road.
47:39
SPEAKER_09: That's simple.
47:41
SPEAKER_09: That's simple.
47:42
SPEAKER_03: Alright.
47:44
SPEAKER_03: Good story.
47:46
SPEAKER_03: I have good story.
47:48
SPEAKER_03: Good story.
47:48
SPEAKER_03: An album.
47:52
SPEAKER_03: So I would say height of popularity is probably the eighties.
48:10
SPEAKER_09: How many people in the set band?
48:12
SPEAKER_09: Five.
48:16
SPEAKER_09: Any virtuals?
48:20
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I guess you consider you could consider a couple one of them at least.
48:24
SPEAKER_03: Virtuals maybe.
48:27
SPEAKER_09: Very ambiguous, I love it.
48:34
SPEAKER_09: Are they Americans?
48:36
SPEAKER_09: Yes.
48:39
SPEAKER_09: American American?
48:40
SPEAKER_01: I think originally from San Francisco area.
48:44
SPEAKER_01: Texas.
48:45
SPEAKER_01: Nope.
48:46
SPEAKER_01: Fish.
48:46
SPEAKER_01: Nope.
48:48
SPEAKER_01: Nope.
48:49
SPEAKER_01: Fish was a Vermont, by the way.
48:51
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I know.
48:51
SPEAKER_09: I'll just naming off bands at that point.
48:54
SPEAKER_09: Uh so they're rock.
48:57
SPEAKER_09: Pop rock.
48:58
SPEAKER_09: Rock.
49:00
SPEAKER_03: Um.
49:02
SPEAKER_03: Uh, here's one I'll throw you.
49:04
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
49:04
SPEAKER_03: They were labeled corporate rock.
49:07
SPEAKER_09: Corporate rock.
49:08
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
49:09
SPEAKER_09: Is it journey?
49:10
SPEAKER_09: It is.
49:13
SPEAKER_09: There it is! Journey.
49:15
SPEAKER_09: There it is.
49:16
SPEAKER_03: Journey.
49:16
SPEAKER_09: Journey.
49:17
SPEAKER_03: I know we've probably done Journey before.
49:19
SPEAKER_03: I don't think we've done this album.
49:20
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
49:21
SPEAKER_03: This was the album that um destroyed the band.
49:26
SPEAKER_09: Pretty much.
49:27
SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
49:27
SPEAKER_09: I was just kidding about that.
49:28
SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah.
49:29
SPEAKER_03: When I say destroyed the band, it didn't destroy the band, but it definitely um ruined this version of the band.
49:37
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
49:38
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
49:38
SPEAKER_03: It's the last album they made with Steve Perry.
49:41
SPEAKER_03: It's called Trial by Fire.
49:43
SPEAKER_03: That's kind of uh and ironic.
49:47
SPEAKER_03: What had happened, and if I have my history wrong, somebody will correct me.
49:52
SPEAKER_03: But um Steve Perry kind of threw his weight around in the mid to late 80s because they were they had become huge.
50:04
SPEAKER_03: Right.
50:05
SPEAKER_03: And he decided, I can't remember which album was before Raised on Radio.
50:12
SPEAKER_03: Um Raised on Radio which had one second, one second.
50:24
SPEAKER_03: Raised on Radio had this one.
50:31
SPEAKER_03: Right?
50:32
SPEAKER_03: Girl can't help it.
50:35
SPEAKER_09: This can't be right.
50:37
SPEAKER_09: What?
50:37
SPEAKER_09: We've never done journey.
50:38
SPEAKER_09: We've never done journey.
50:39
SPEAKER_09: This can't be right.
50:40
SPEAKER_09: Wow.
50:42
SPEAKER_03: That is surprising.
50:44
SPEAKER_03: I have a lot of journey.
50:45
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I know.
50:46
SPEAKER_10: Let me double check.
50:48
SPEAKER_03: Would you consider Neil Sean uh a virtuoso?
50:53
SPEAKER_09: Nah.
50:55
SPEAKER_09: Virtuo.
50:56
SPEAKER_09: He has virtuoistic tendencies.
50:59
SPEAKER_03: Because I that's why I said I was leaning towards Neil Sean.
51:04
SPEAKER_03: So this was a big hit for them, as was this one.
51:08
SPEAKER_03: Now these are from Raised on Radio, right?
51:09
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
51:10
SPEAKER_03: Now, this is not the original band.
51:14
SPEAKER_03: This is Steve Perry, John Cain, and Neil Sean with two other people playing drums and bass.
51:21
SPEAKER_03: Studio musicians.
51:22
SPEAKER_03: One of them's Randy Jackson, actually.
51:24
SPEAKER_03: Oh really?
51:24
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
51:25
SPEAKER_03: So I'm not sure what album was before Raised on Radio, but Steve Perry said, I want the rhythm section fired.
51:33
SPEAKER_09: Oh.
51:34
SPEAKER_03: So he he fired Stuart um Steve Smith and uh and Ross Valerie.
51:40
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
51:40
SPEAKER_03: And he said, I can't work with those guys.
51:42
SPEAKER_03: I want I want somebody else.
51:44
SPEAKER_03: I want a studio musician.
51:45
SPEAKER_03: So they did.
51:46
SPEAKER_03: And they did Raised on Radio.
51:48
SPEAKER_03: And it was a big hit.
51:50
SPEAKER_03: And it was either before that or after that.
51:54
SPEAKER_03: I think it was right after that.
51:56
SPEAKER_03: Steve Perry went and did his solo album.
51:59
SPEAKER_03: Which had O'Sherry on it.
52:01
SPEAKER_03: Right.
52:01
SPEAKER_03: Which ticked off Neil Sean because all of Steve Perry's solo albums sounded like stuff Journey would do.
52:08
SPEAKER_09: Right.
52:09
SPEAKER_03: And when Neil Sean went and did a solo album, it didn't sound like Journey.
52:13
SPEAKER_03: So he was kind of ticked off that Steve Perry went and it sounded like Journey.
52:16
SPEAKER_03: Well, how do you make it not sound like Journey when it's the voice of Journey?
52:19
SPEAKER_09: Well, exactly, yeah.
52:20
SPEAKER_09: I mean you just can't do it.
52:21
SPEAKER_03: He's talking about stylistically, it sounded like songs that Journey would do.
52:25
SPEAKER_03: Right.
52:26
SPEAKER_03: So they broke up.
52:29
SPEAKER_03: And for a long time, like ten years anyway, uh, like Neil Sean and Jonathan Kane went and did bad English.
52:38
SPEAKER_09: Yep.
52:39
SPEAKER_03: Um I think Steve Smith and I'm not sure what Ross Valerie did, but they went and did other projects.
52:44
SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
52:45
SPEAKER_03: Uh actually, yeah, we talked about it.
52:47
SPEAKER_03: Um Steve Smith and Ross Valerie did um uh CDI Boughtable Moose not too long ago.
52:56
SPEAKER_03: The Storm.
52:57
SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:58
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
52:58
SPEAKER_03: So that was right around the same time that that bad English was there and everything.
53:02
SPEAKER_03: So Journey had broken up.
53:04
SPEAKER_03: This was the album that brought Journey back together.
53:08
SPEAKER_03: With the original rhythm section, Steve Smith, Ross Valerie, and then uh Jonathan Cain and Neil Shawn and Steve Perry.
53:15
SPEAKER_03: The most successful lineup of Journey.
53:18
SPEAKER_03: Right.
53:18
SPEAKER_03: The Don't Stop Believing lineup of Journey, right?
53:22
SPEAKER_03: So they released this album.
53:24
SPEAKER_03: They had a couple of hit songs on this album.
53:28
SPEAKER_03: And then Steve Perry was hiking in Hawaii or something like that, and hurt himself, and then they discovered that he had to have heavy related.
53:41
SPEAKER_03: So they needed they needed to support this album.
53:46
SPEAKER_03: Right?
53:46
SPEAKER_03: They needed to because they wanted to sell the album and go on tour.
53:50
SPEAKER_03: And Steve.
53:56
SPEAKER_03: And they said, well, then we're gonna get somebody else to do it.
54:00
SPEAKER_03: And they did.
54:02
SPEAKER_03: And the rest is history.
54:04
SPEAKER_03: They got Steve Algieri to sing for them, and they put out two or three albums with Steve Augieri.
54:10
SPEAKER_03: Maybe two.
54:11
SPEAKER_03: And uh now they have um um Argin.
54:16
SPEAKER_03: Uh Arnell Pineda is singing with them, and he's great, and they've they've done some great stuff uh since then.
54:22
SPEAKER_03: But this was the album that broke the band.
54:25
SPEAKER_03: Uh the original the most popular line album.
54:28
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
54:29
SPEAKER_03: But they had some uh they had at least two big hit songs uh from this album.
54:38
SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, I remember this one.
54:39
SPEAKER_03: When you love a woman.
54:40
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
54:40
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
54:41
SPEAKER_03: Um what year was this?
54:44
SPEAKER_03: This was I think it was like 98.
54:46
SPEAKER_03: Hold on a second.
54:47
SPEAKER_03: Let me double check here.
54:53
SPEAKER_03: 96.
54:54
SPEAKER_09: Okay, so this is this was pre-internet, really.
54:58
SPEAKER_09: Pretty much.
54:58
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, so you had to go out on tour to sell your album.
55:01
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
55:01
SPEAKER_09: So yeah.
55:02
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
55:06
SPEAKER_06: Within myself.
55:07
SPEAKER_03: I'll just get to the chorus.
55:24
SPEAKER_03: It was just, it was great to have them back.
55:26
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know, and this song was all over radio.
55:32
SPEAKER_03: And then Adult Contemporary Radio had another hit.
55:35
SPEAKER_03: Let's see if you recognize this one.
55:47
SPEAKER_06: Please be wrong.
55:49
SPEAKER_06: Please don't tell me it's really wrong.
55:53
SPEAKER_03: Vaguely?
55:54
SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna say it was top ten.
55:55
SPEAKER_03: I don't think it went to the top.
55:58
SPEAKER_03: Maybe it was only top 20.
56:01
SPEAKER_03: Called If He Should Break Your Heart.
56:03
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
56:03
SPEAKER_03: Let me just get to the chorus.
56:17
SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah, now I recognize it.
56:39
SPEAKER_06: I'll be there.
56:41
SPEAKER_03: Alright, so if you should break your heart, oh, it only went to number 21 on the United States Adult Contemporary Charts.
56:50
SPEAKER_03: When you love a woman went number one on the AC charts in the US, and number nine on the top 40.
57:00
SPEAKER_03: So, I mean it was a comeback.
57:02
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
57:02
SPEAKER_03: It wasn't a huge comeback, but it was it went number one on the AC charts.
57:06
SPEAKER_03: Um but I will tell you the first two songs, or the first song on this album, I'm gonna play for you.
57:18
SPEAKER_03: It wasn't a hit, they didn't release it.
57:21
SPEAKER_03: But there's a formula for journey.
57:26
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
57:26
SPEAKER_03: Um part in here I want to play you because I want to see if you recognize that they pulled it from somewhere.
59:09
SPEAKER_03: Sounds like journey, right?
59:10
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
59:12
SPEAKER_03: I want to play the breakdown.
59:21
SPEAKER_03: So this is the bridge.
59:25
SPEAKER_03: See if anything sounds familiar.
59:50
SPEAKER_10: Oh, it's separate weights.
59:52
SPEAKER_09: It is.
59:53
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah, separate weights.
1:00:02
SPEAKER_03: This is another song called One More.
1:01:56
SPEAKER_03: Maybe it's not this often.
1:02:00
SPEAKER_03: But they've done this before, and we actually talked about it when they came out with their new album, Freedom.
1:02:06
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
1:02:07
SPEAKER_09: They have themes, they rip themselves off.
1:02:11
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
1:02:11
SPEAKER_09: But you know, which is completely illegal.
1:02:14
SPEAKER_09: Right.
1:02:15
SPEAKER_03: So So on the the first Steve Augeri album with Journey called Arrival, which was in 2001, this one called Signs of Life.
1:02:27
SPEAKER_03: This one, I want you to hear the guitar solo.
1:02:33
SPEAKER_03: Now I do like this song.
1:02:42
SPEAKER_03: I do think this is kind of a cop-out though, because I think I don't know.
1:02:48
SPEAKER_03: I such iconic parts that to use the same part in another song, I know you're doing it as like an homage or to bring people back in.
1:03:03
SPEAKER_03: Alright, but listen to this.
1:03:59
SPEAKER_03: No, it's uh who's that's uh who's crying now?
1:04:02
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
1:04:02
SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
1:04:06
SPEAKER_03: That little that little riffs.
1:04:10
SPEAKER_10: One love beautiful.
1:04:13
SPEAKER_03: And again, I mean I'm I'm being picky, but I love Journey, don't you?
1:04:18
SPEAKER_09: Well, it reminds me, it reminds me of when Rush was on uh Stephen Colbert.
1:04:21
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, and he asked them if they'd ever written a song so long that that by the end of it they were being influenced by themselves.
1:04:29
SPEAKER_02: I like that.
1:04:30
SPEAKER_09: I thought that was great.
1:04:32
SPEAKER_09: I like that.
1:04:33
SPEAKER_09: When when Neil Peart laughs, you know it's funny.
1:04:35
SPEAKER_03: So I was gonna say, what was their reaction to that?
1:04:37
SPEAKER_09: No, they all they all they all busted up.
1:04:42
SPEAKER_03: That's awesome.
1:04:42
SPEAKER_03: Anyway, so that's the album.
1:04:44
SPEAKER_03: It's called Trial by Fire from Journey.
1:04:46
SPEAKER_03: It's the last album featuring uh Steve Perry on vocals.
1:04:50
SPEAKER_03: Uh actually, uh nope, yeah, it's the last album with Steve Perry on vocals because the other the rhythm section would go on to to play on more albums with them.
1:04:57
SPEAKER_03: So uh although Dean Castronovo came in.
1:05:00
SPEAKER_03: Uh I was gonna say Dean came in.
1:05:02
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, did Steve Smith play on another album?
1:05:03
SPEAKER_03: No, I think this was the last album with Steve Smith, too.
1:05:05
