4:55
SPEAKER_08: Uh I digress.
4:56
SPEAKER_08: So uh let's see.
4:58
SPEAKER_10: But I heard a couple songs on the way up that I had I forgot about.
5:02
SPEAKER_10: Uh Pet Shop Boys did that remake of um Always on My Mind.
5:06
SPEAKER_10: Great version.
5:07
SPEAKER_10: I know, I totally because I saw it on the thing.
5:09
SPEAKER_10: I was like, why don't I know this song?
5:11
SPEAKER_10: And then it started playing, you know, I'm like, I still don't know this song.
5:14
SPEAKER_10: And then it the the words that he started saying, I'm like, holy crap, I totally forgot about this song.
5:18
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, you know, because and I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna dial that up because it's a great song.
5:24
SPEAKER_08: It's a great cover.
5:25
SPEAKER_10: It's a great, it's a great, it's a great representative representation of 80s synth pop.
5:31
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, you know what I mean?
5:32
SPEAKER_08: For sure.
5:33
SPEAKER_08: Uh let's see, right here.
5:36
SPEAKER_08: Uh turn it up.
5:45
SPEAKER_08: And you're thinking to yourself, this is a Willie Nelson song?
5:49
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, you're like, well, I after a while, I was like, you know, what if I figured out what it was?
5:53
SPEAKER_10: I was like, man, this is no different from Willie's version, right?
5:58
SPEAKER_08: But I like they make it their own, you know?
6:00
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do with the cover, you make it your own.
6:27
SPEAKER_08: And you know, most of the people listening to this in the 80s, most of the kids listening to this in the 80s, they wouldn't connect this to Willie Nelson.
6:35
SPEAKER_08: No.
6:36
SPEAKER_08: No, you know, I mean it's like, ah, it's a petchet boys.
6:38
SPEAKER_08: I love that song.
6:38
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
6:39
SPEAKER_08: You know it's a country song.
6:40
SPEAKER_08: Woo! Woo! Yeah, yeah.
6:43
SPEAKER_10: It's funny that you bring up the 80s because I have a I have a Well, I also I also heard uh uh Save a Prayer by Durand Duran.
6:49
SPEAKER_10: Oh, that's one that everybody forgets about.
6:50
SPEAKER_10: I always I I totally forgot about it.
6:52
SPEAKER_10: I was like, man, this is such a great song.
6:55
SPEAKER_08: Let me dial that up.
6:57
SPEAKER_08: See, there it is.
6:59
SPEAKER_08: I, you know, Durandoran, uh an underrated, I don't people give them enough credit.
7:05
SPEAKER_08: An underrated band.
7:06
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
7:07
SPEAKER_08: Severely.
7:09
SPEAKER_08: And again, I think it's production value.
7:12
SPEAKER_08: I think people try and distance themselves from the production of the 80s.
7:17
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
7:17
SPEAKER_08: You know, the electric drums and the synthesizers and stuff like that.
7:20
SPEAKER_08: But behind all that, it's great songs.
7:23
SPEAKER_08: It is.
7:24
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
7:47
SPEAKER_08: I remember when I was uh kid that you know how people used to have uh especially girls, like Teen Beat Magazine, the Tiger Tiger Beat.
7:57
SPEAKER_08: I remember there was this one schoolmate of mine, her name was Iona.
8:01
SPEAKER_08: She had this thing for Simon LeBon of Duran Duran, and she had his all her locker was all Durandoran.
8:17
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
8:20
SPEAKER_08: I was like, oh no, it's amazing.
8:22
SPEAKER_08: It's great stuff.
8:22
SPEAKER_08: So good.
8:23
SPEAKER_08: And it also be because for us, I mean, I think we think it's great.
8:28
SPEAKER_08: Other people listening to it might not think it's great, but it's it's doubly great for us because it's nostalgic.
8:34
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
8:34
SPEAKER_08: Brings us back to it.
8:35
SPEAKER_10: And anybody that doesn't think it's great, well, you're just stupid.
8:39
SPEAKER_08: Absolutely.
8:40
SPEAKER_08: That's what I was gonna say.
8:42
SPEAKER_10: The two brain cells in your head going right now?

11:37
SPEAKER_08: You owe me 20 bucks.
11:39
SPEAKER_08: Anyway.
11:40
SPEAKER_08: Um yeah, and so I picked up a cool game I'll tell you about a little bit later.
11:45
SPEAKER_08: Um I want to talk about Alex Van Halen and Steve Lukuther.
11:48
SPEAKER_08: People are blowing this out of proportion.
11:50
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I don't know what's going on with that.
11:52
SPEAKER_10: I just they're just like it's everybody's like freaking out.
11:54
SPEAKER_10: I know.
11:55
SPEAKER_08: I kinda I kind of do because they've they've said it, but people are twisting their words.
12:00
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
12:00
SPEAKER_08: Uh and you know, it's peop people are just doing it to get clicks, which is the the nature of social media.
12:06
SPEAKER_08: Oh, yeah.
12:06
SPEAKER_08: Uh these days.
12:07
SPEAKER_08: It's all about clicks.
12:08
SPEAKER_08: It is.
12:09
SPEAKER_08: Um, but Alex Van Halen had said he's gonna he's gonna be working on an album with Lucather, Steve Lukather of Toto, who was great friends with Eddie Van Halen.
12:18
SPEAKER_08: Right.
12:19
SPEAKER_08: And then this was six months ago?
12:22
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it was a while ago.
12:24
SPEAKER_08: A year ago, something like that.
12:25
SPEAKER_08: I think it was over the summer, wasn't it?
12:26
SPEAKER_08: He's he said uh Alex said something that that Luke is the only guy he would trust to go through the tapes.
12:33
SPEAKER_08: Right, you know, uh with him and and help him arrange some unreleased Van Halen music or something like that.
12:40
SPEAKER_08: And uh Luke came out a little bit later and said, just so there's clarification, I will never play guitar on a Van Halen album.
12:50
SPEAKER_10: You could I mean that's like that's like adding to you know the Mona Lisa.
12:54
SPEAKER_10: Exactly.
12:55
SPEAKER_10: I'm gonna put a smiley face on the Mona Lisa.
12:57
SPEAKER_10: That that that's the equivalent of it.
12:58
SPEAKER_08: He says, he says, I'm gonna I'll help Al out, you know, if he needs me, but I'm I'm never playing guitar on that album.
13:04
SPEAKER_08: And so that was pretty clear to me.
13:06
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
13:07
SPEAKER_08: Uh and now uh he did a podcast with Nico McBrain of Iron Maiden.
13:11
SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah.
13:12
SPEAKER_08: He has his own podcast, Metal Sticks or something like that.
13:14
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
13:15
SPEAKER_08: Um and he says, I'm gonna be doing this album with Luke and uh this and that, and and then people just were like, new solo album with Alex Van Halen and Steve Lucarthere.
13:26
SPEAKER_08: Who's gonna sing?
13:28
SPEAKER_08: You know?
13:29
SPEAKER_08: It's like nobody said anything.
13:31
SPEAKER_08: They're going to go through the Van Halen tapes, find some music that that is uh a great idea, and arrange it and put it together so that it's presentable.
13:44
SPEAKER_08: Uh and that's it.
13:46
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
13:46
SPEAKER_08: That's all they're gonna do.
13:47
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
13:48
SPEAKER_08: You know, uh whether it has vocals or not.
13:51
SPEAKER_08: It doesn't matter.
13:52
SPEAKER_08: It doesn't matter.
13:52
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
13:52
SPEAKER_08: It's gonna be Eddie and Alex.
13:54
SPEAKER_08: I think I'd almost like I'd prefer it without right?
13:57
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
13:57
SPEAKER_08: Eddie and Alex, and presumably Wolfgang on bass.
14:00
SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
14:00
SPEAKER_08: You know, I would assume.
14:01
SPEAKER_10: I would say so.
14:02
SPEAKER_10: So because he mentioned I some Wolf said something about it too.
14:06
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
14:06
SPEAKER_10: About going through because he owns the studio.
14:09
SPEAKER_10: Well he lives there.
14:10
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, he lives there, so he's like he's got total access to 5150 studio now.
14:15
SPEAKER_08: Exactly.
14:15
SPEAKER_08: So I just think people are just just freaking out and blowing this.
14:19
SPEAKER_10: Well, I think I think I think that just that's just a sign of everybody wants.
14:23
SPEAKER_08: Everybody wants some.
14:26
SPEAKER_08: I want some too.
14:28
SPEAKER_08: Um yeah.

SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah.
14:46
SPEAKER_10: It ain't gonna happen tomorrow.
14:48
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and it's I would say it's not a solo album.

SPEAKER_08: So the first single, a C D single signed and everything, personalized, is a is two hundred dollars uh plus shipping, and he's only making a thousand of them.
15:27
SPEAKER_08: Right.
15:28
SPEAKER_08: But he's got a whole album.
15:30
SPEAKER_08: Oh he's going to sell every song for two hundred bucks.
15:34
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, so he if you if you buy this full album, Guitar Mageddon is what it's called.
15:39
SPEAKER_08: Terrible name.
15:42
SPEAKER_08: Ah, that's worth it.
15:43
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
15:45
SPEAKER_08: Money well spent.
15:47
SPEAKER_08: But I th I think it's so funny because he said today, well not today, when did they post this?

15:52
SPEAKER_08: Is that today?
15:53
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah.

15:55
SPEAKER_08: Yesterday.
15:56
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
15:56
SPEAKER_08: Um he would Vincy Vinnie Vincent would rather this is from ultimate classicrock.com, would rather shelve his new Guitar Mageddon album than sell it in a conventional manner.
16:07
SPEAKER_08: Uh he admits that maybe exactly what happens is he has yet to find enough fans to support his unique and costly release plan for the long-awaited record.
16:17
SPEAKER_10: This is my shock face.
16:22
SPEAKER_08: Uh the guitarist was quick to defend his plan against complaints and concerns expressed by fans.
16:27
SPEAKER_08: He argued that illegal downloading, streaming, and other changes in the music industry over the past few decades made it otherwise impossible for him to get paid fairly for his music.
16:35
SPEAKER_08: Um He says There's no money releasing a record like this with bootlegging thieves at my door.
16:40
SPEAKER_08: Unless I get compensated for my work, the album stays unheard.
16:45
SPEAKER_08: It comes down to this if the fan support is not there, which it does not appear to be, this record will not be released.
16:52
SPEAKER_10: Okay.
16:53
SPEAKER_10: If this was on video, we could have that meme of Deadpool doing this thing.
16:57
SPEAKER_10: Right.

SPEAKER_08: Don't release it, dude.

SPEAKER_08: I said, also, thanks for the kind words.
24:21
SPEAKER_08: You are so right that we disagreed.
24:24
SPEAKER_08: But as I get older and not so stuck up my own tush, I'm so glad I was able to let go in some cases and let you do your thing.
24:33
SPEAKER_08: Since you said you were listening to our album, I went and did the same.
24:37
SPEAKER_08: I know we tried to do this once, but I really think we should become the Beatles and be a studio band.
24:42
SPEAKER_08: In February, I'm hoping to get a new to me computer loaded with logic.
24:47
SPEAKER_08: I think we should record songs and put them on Spotify.
24:50
SPEAKER_08: I hate Spotify, but I need to create.
24:53
SPEAKER_08: I don't need to make money, I need to make music.
24:56
SPEAKER_08: So F it.
24:57
SPEAKER_08: You in?
24:59
SPEAKER_08: And he hasn't replied yet.
25:01
SPEAKER_08: But who it is, right?
25:03
SPEAKER_08: But I was thinking about it.
25:04
SPEAKER_08: You know, we tried to do that once.
25:06
SPEAKER_08: We had, I don't know, three songs, three new songs that we were working on.
25:11
SPEAKER_08: And it was during COVID, so yeah, and it was just it was a that was hard.
25:16
SPEAKER_08: It was a difficult process.
25:18
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
25:18
SPEAKER_08: But why can't we?
25:22
SPEAKER_08: Like there's no reason why we can't.
25:24
SPEAKER_08: There's no reason why we can't.
25:25
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
25:25
SPEAKER_08: I mean, we could we could start from scratch and we could re record those songs.
25:29
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
25:29
SPEAKER_08: Um, you know.
25:33
SPEAKER_08: I don't know how easy this would be, but we could I could record to a drum track and you give it to you, and you set up your drums and you mic your drums and you play to it.
25:44
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
25:44
SPEAKER_08: Then I take out the drum track and your drums are there.
25:46
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
25:47
SPEAKER_08: Same thing with the bass.
25:49
SPEAKER_08: You know?
25:50
SPEAKER_08: And we could send it to Josh in Nashville and he could put some guitar on it.
25:54
SPEAKER_08: Oh, dude, he would kill it.
25:55
SPEAKER_08: Right?
25:55
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
25:56
SPEAKER_08: Um, there's no reason we can't do it except for time.
25:59
SPEAKER_08: Right.
25:59
SPEAKER_08: So we just have to carve out the time.
26:01
SPEAKER_08: But you know, I'm listening to that album.
26:03
SPEAKER_10: Well, I think we all should just quit our jobs.
26:05

28:40
SPEAKER_08: Could we incorporate, I mean, could we just do it like we do mixtape?
28:44
SPEAKER_08: We just ask each other questions.
28:45
SPEAKER_08: Could we like a trivia thing?
28:47
SPEAKER_08: That's well, it's no, it's a it's uh kind of a trivia thing, but not really.
28:52
SPEAKER_08: Um it's kind of a trivia thing.
28:55
SPEAKER_08: Okay.
28:55
SPEAKER_08: Um I found it at Bull Moose, actually.
28:59
SPEAKER_08: So I'm gonna tell you about it right now.
29:01
SPEAKER_08: Does it smell like incense?
29:02
SPEAKER_08: No, it doesn't.
29:03
SPEAKER_08: Actually, that bull moose didn't smell that bad.
29:06
SPEAKER_08: Wow.
29:06
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
29:06
SPEAKER_08: And the carpets on the floor, it was great.
29:08
SPEAKER_08: What?
29:10
SPEAKER_08: That's legit, man.
29:11
SPEAKER_08: So this is right up your alley.
29:14
SPEAKER_08: Okay.
29:14
SPEAKER_08: This is called Poorly Explained Movies.
29:20
SPEAKER_07: Wait, wait, wait, wait.
29:21
SPEAKER_08: 80s edition.
29:22
SPEAKER_08: Oh, sweet.
29:23
SPEAKER_08: Okay.
29:24
SPEAKER_08: So you do have to know your 80s movies.
29:26
SPEAKER_08: Okay.
29:26
SPEAKER_08: Uh, I want to read you the instructions first.
29:28
SPEAKER_08: All right.
29:29
SPEAKER_08: Because I think it's it's quite comical.
29:32
SPEAKER_08: Um, so it says, uh, let's see.
29:38
SPEAKER_08: The objective.
29:39
SPEAKER_08: Has your mom ever forgotten the name of a movie that she just watched and decided to describe it to you instead?
29:45
SPEAKER_08: Well, that's this game in a nutshell.
29:47
SPEAKER_08: You'll try to identify popular movies from the worst descriptions possible before your friends, family, or any other random strangers that you happen to be playing with can.
29:56
SPEAKER_08: Uh Difficulty levels.
29:58
SPEAKER_08: Kind of a movie uh snob, don't worry.
30:00
SPEAKER_08: There's different ways to play to make the game as hard as you want.
30:04
SPEAKER_08: Number of players.
30:05
SPEAKER_08: How many people can play?
30:06
SPEAKER_08: Well, that really depends on how many people you want to hang out with at any given time.
30:11
SPEAKER_08: It's pretty flexible.
30:12
SPEAKER_08: For a truly competitive game, though, you'll need at least three people, and probably less than ten, mainly because that gives us anxiety, just thinking about it.
30:21
SPEAKER_08: That said, two people are still perfect for playing casual mode, you'll see.
30:26
SPEAKER_08: Standard mode.
30:27
SPEAKER_08: This is the way that we like to play.
30:28
SPEAKER_08: It's fun and challenging, but not super hard.
30:31
SPEAKER_08: Bonus, you can still be an annoying show-off if you want, earning some bonus points in the process.
30:36
SPEAKER_08: First, gather three or more people and decide who will be the host.
30:40
SPEAKER_08: This role rotates after every question, so don't think too hard about it.
30:43
SPEAKER_08: Just pick someone.
30:44
SPEAKER_08: This player then shuffles the cards a bit and picks a card at random to announce to the group.
30:50
SPEAKER_08: The host now reads the poorly written movie summary, which is in the center of the card, out to the group, but not the hint just yet.
30:58
SPEAKER_08: Players then buzz in by saying their own name.
31:04
SPEAKER_09: Which I think is funny.
31:05
SPEAKER_10: That is funny.
31:07
SPEAKER_10: I love the directions already.
31:08
SPEAKER_10: Let's let's buzz in.
31:09
SPEAKER_10: Brian, Doug!
31:12
SPEAKER_08: Did I win?
31:15
SPEAKER_08: The uh first gets the chance to guess the correct movie.
31:18
SPEAKER_08: If they don't give the right answer, the remaining players then get the chance to buzz in.
31:22
SPEAKER_08: If a player is able to answer correctly before a hint is given, they get two points, and the game moves on to the next round.
31:28
SPEAKER_08: I'm not saying we do points or anything like that.
31:30
SPEAKER_10: No, just like we do with mixtapes.
31:31
SPEAKER_08: Kind of, yeah, yeah.
31:33
SPEAKER_08: However, if everyone fails to name the correct movie, this the hint and the year of the movie is read out loud by the host.
31:40
SPEAKER_08: The process continues as before with players buzzing in to answer again.
31:44
SPEAKER_08: Note each of the players only get two guesses per movie, one before the hint and one after.
31:49
SPEAKER_08: So guess wisely.
31:50
SPEAKER_08: The first player to correctly answer after the hint is awarded one point.
31:54
SPEAKER_08: If no one gets the movie, add the card back to the box and move on to the next round.
31:59
SPEAKER_08: Another note, you should find a pad of paper to keep score with.
32:02
SPEAKER_08: That card is now set aside, and the role of host rotates to the right.
32:06
SPEAKER_08: Play now continues as before with the new host picking a card at the rant at random blah blah blah blah.
32:11
SPEAKER_08: The game keeps going on as as such until one player reaches five points or some other arbitrary number that everyone agrees on beforehand.
32:20
SPEAKER_08: Um they are then pronounced the winner and can brag about it accordingly.
32:23
unknown: Psst!
32:24
SPEAKER_08: If you like this game, you're in luck.
32:26
SPEAKER_08: There's way more where this came from.
32:28
SPEAKER_08: Be sure to check out our original version and all of our other editions.
32:32
SPEAKER_08: Variation.
32:33
SPEAKER_08: Want the game to be easier?
32:34
SPEAKER_08: Give our hint immediately after reading the description and add your own.
32:38
SPEAKER_08: Want the game to be harder?
32:40
SPEAKER_08: No hints ever.
32:41
SPEAKER_08: Not even if they beg you for them.
32:43
SPEAKER_08: Casual mode.
32:44
SPEAKER_08: This is probably kind of what we're we're gonna do.
32:46
SPEAKER_08: Uh first, get some drinks.
32:49
SPEAKER_08: Well, check.
32:50
SPEAKER_08: Yep, there we go.
32:51
SPEAKER_08: This is very important.
32:53
SPEAKER_08: Now, drink them.
32:55
SPEAKER_08: Alright.
32:56
SPEAKER_08: Uh, you're doing great so far.
32:58
SPEAKER_08: Now just sit around with your friends and randomly pick a card.
33:01
SPEAKER_08: Tell answers as loudly and as passionately as your current level of intoxication allows.
33:05
SPEAKER_08: Everyone wins except maybe your neighbors.
33:08
SPEAKER_08: So, I'm just gonna give you an example.
33:11
SPEAKER_08: I'm gonna pick a card right from the middle of the deck.
33:15
SPEAKER_08: And so, so let's decide how we can incorporate this, because I think it could be fun.
33:22
SPEAKER_08: Do we want to include the audience?
33:24
SPEAKER_08: Do we want to include I don't I don't know how, I don't know how.
33:27
SPEAKER_08: Maybe it's just you and I.
33:28
SPEAKER_10: It may have to be.
33:29
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, it may have to be.
33:31
SPEAKER_08: Okay.
33:33

SPEAKER_08: Four friends roast a marshmallow together.
34:18
SPEAKER_10: Ghostbusters.
34:23
SPEAKER_08: I don't want to do them all, because I think we can do this.
34:25
SPEAKER_08: I'm going to do one more.
34:26
SPEAKER_08: This is the last one.
34:27
SPEAKER_08: This is the last one, then we'll move on.
34:29
SPEAKER_08: Alright.
34:32
SPEAKER_08: Oh, you may not know this one.
34:34

38:06

38:21

39:43
SPEAKER_01: Hey guys, that was a really great week of mixtape picks.
39:46
SPEAKER_01: Uh I do enjoy some good Motown music from time to time.
39:50
SPEAKER_01: Um and I I did really enjoy Doug's pick, but I had to go with Larry's pick this week.
39:56
SPEAKER_01: Um the the irony of being on a deserted island listening to the same Motown song and the lyrics being the same old song and the beats been changed and on it.
40:08
SPEAKER_01: The irony of that one did not escape me, and I I appreciated it.
40:12
SPEAKER_01: Um we had to go with Larry this week.
40:15
SPEAKER_01: Uh but I can say I'm super excited to hear the picks for this week because there's a lot of pressure on that first song.
40:25
SPEAKER_08: Uh she must have wedding on the brain or something because that was my pick.
40:28
SPEAKER_08: I picked the four tops, it's the same old song.
40:30
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
40:31

40:37
SPEAKER_08: I'm I'm I'm I do I do uh um relate to the irony.
40:40
SPEAKER_08: That's one of the reasons.
40:42
SPEAKER_10: Actually, I never picked up on the irony, so yeah.
40:44
SPEAKER_10: It's the same old song over and over and over and over and over again.
40:47

41:29
SPEAKER_08: Okay.

SPEAKER_08: All right, so present.
41:32
SPEAKER_08: I'll be interested to see if mine is the same as Cousin Larry's.
41:36
SPEAKER_10: Cousin Larry, mixtape.
41:37
SPEAKER_10: Well, normally I would pick Highway to Hell by ACDC, or maybe Born to We Be Wild by Steppenwolf.
41:43
SPEAKER_10: But I'm pretty sure we have had similar questions before in which I chose those songs, so I'm going to try and branch out a little.
41:51
SPEAKER_10: I was walking on the treadmill the other day and listening to Deep Purple's When We Rock.
41:55
SPEAKER_10: We rock, and when we roll, we roll on cassette tape, which is essentially a greatest hits album.
42:02
SPEAKER_10: The song Highway Star seems like a good choice to start a road trip, so I'll go with that.
42:08
SPEAKER_10: Honorable mention to Iggy Pop and the Passenger, probably possibly my favorite Iggy tune.
42:16
SPEAKER_06: Can I just tell you right now?
42:18
SPEAKER_06: You were gonna do that?
42:18
SPEAKER_06: Is it no, this is mine.
42:20
SPEAKER_06: Is it?
42:20
SPEAKER_06: I picked it.
42:24
SPEAKER_06: Yep, this was so.
42:25
SPEAKER_06: Do I have to pick another one?
42:26
SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
42:30
SPEAKER_08: I should have had a backup.
42:37
SPEAKER_08: This is the perfect.
43:27
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
43:28
SPEAKER_08: That was that was my pick.
43:29
SPEAKER_08: That was how we start.
43:31
SPEAKER_08: So, in the interest of this game, you're gonna pick another one.
43:34
SPEAKER_08: I'm gonna pick another one.
43:35
SPEAKER_08: Okay.
43:35
SPEAKER_08: I just thought of it.
43:37
SPEAKER_08: Um, so so I'll let you do yours.
43:39
SPEAKER_10: Well, mine is Metallica, wherever I may roam.
43:43
SPEAKER_08: Oh, that's a great one.
43:45
SPEAKER_08: Just the just the riff on that.
43:48
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
43:48
SPEAKER_08: And the just the just the thickness of that riff, man.
43:51
SPEAKER_08: My gosh.
44:05
SPEAKER_10: So I figured because it starts off slow.
44:07
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
44:08
SPEAKER_10: This is like you pulling out of your driveway.
44:10
SPEAKER_10: Right.
44:11
SPEAKER_10: You know, actually to me this is loading up getting in the car.
44:15
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
44:16
SPEAKER_10: No, here's seatbelt comes on.
45:39
SPEAKER_08: I know a lot of Metallica fans don't like this album.
45:44
SPEAKER_08: But I love this album.
45:45
SPEAKER_10: I I do too.
45:46
SPEAKER_10: I mean, I remember when I got it when it first came out.
45:50
SPEAKER_10: I was out in 29 Palms, California.
45:53
SPEAKER_10: And I l I played the crap out of this tape.
45:56
SPEAKER_10: Well, you know, I think over I mean over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
46:00
SPEAKER_08: I think if you're a if you s if you were a metallic Metallica fan that started from the beginning, right?
46:05
SPEAKER_08: With the Kill Em All and all that stuff.
46:07
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
46:07

SPEAKER_10: Interesting.
1:03:01
SPEAKER_10: I bet it packed up that guy.
1:03:07
SPEAKER_08: Oh, did you hear what Gene Simmons said about Peter Chris?
1:03:10
SPEAKER_08: Did you read that?
1:03:11
SPEAKER_08: No.
1:03:12
SPEAKER_08: Oh.
1:03:14
SPEAKER_08: I wanna I wanna look that up for a bit because uh I think Was it in response to his new album?
1:03:23
SPEAKER_08: Uh no, it was in response to um well he's he's talking about how Peter Chris really had nothing to do.
1:03:33
SPEAKER_08: There was no songwriting.
1:03:35
SPEAKER_08: You know, he gets credit for the song Beth.
1:03:38
SPEAKER_08: Right.
1:03:38
SPEAKER_08: And a couple other ones.
1:03:39
SPEAKER_08: He didn't write Beth, he just sang it.
1:03:41
SPEAKER_08: Oh, right.
1:03:42
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:03:42
SPEAKER_08: So, but I thought this was you know, we were just making fun of the fact that there's a drum solo.
1:03:48
SPEAKER_08: I thought this was kind of uh I mean it's Gene Simmons, so he he kind of salt.
1:03:54
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, take it with a grain of salt.
1:03:56
SPEAKER_08: Um let's see if it's in this article.
1:04:00
SPEAKER_08: Uh okay, so he said Peter is always family, but it's time for the truth.
1:04:09
SPEAKER_08: Peter does not write songs, he doesn't play a musical instrument.
1:04:14
SPEAKER_08: Drums are not a musical instrument by definition.
1:04:18
SPEAKER_08: They're called a percussive instrument.
1:04:20
SPEAKER_08: He's not wrong.
1:04:22
SPEAKER_08: Well, I mean, there's there's pitched percussion and there's unpitched percussion.
1:04:27
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:04:27
SPEAKER_08: You know, I mean, percussion is an instrument.
1:04:30
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, you can I mean you could pitch drums.
1:04:32
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
1:04:32
SPEAKER_08: So uh but really important, sometimes extremely important in a band.
1:04:36
SPEAKER_08: It was for it was for us, but you cannot play a drum fill that could be copyrighted.
1:04:41
SPEAKER_08: But you can come up with a riff that you can own and a melody and a lyric, those can be copyrighted.
1:04:47
SPEAKER_08: But nothing you do on drums will prevent anybody else from directly copying whatever you did and applying it to another song.
1:04:53
SPEAKER_08: Okay, that's number one.
1:04:54
SPEAKER_08: Number two, as far as I know, Peter plays no other instruments that I've ever seen.
1:04:58
SPEAKER_08: Not keyboards, six-string instruments.
1:05:00
SPEAKER_08: Peter's got a great whiskey voice in the early days.
1:05:03
SPEAKER_08: So, who actually wrote Beth?
1:05:06
SPEAKER_08: Stan Pendridge was with Peter in a group called Chelsea.
1:05:09
SPEAKER_08: They had a record out, actually, I think it was on MCA.
1:05:12
SPEAKER_08: So Peter did not write Beth.
1:05:13
SPEAKER_08: Peter did not write Baby Driver, Stan Pendridge wrote that.
1:05:18
SPEAKER_08: Okay, I Okay, that's well, you know, whatever.
1:05:21
SPEAKER_08: I just didn't like what he said about drummers.
1:05:24
SPEAKER_10: That's James Emmons.
1:05:25
SPEAKER_10: I know.
1:05:25
SPEAKER_08: It's not like he's a bass prodigy.
1:05:27
SPEAKER_08: You know, I know we joke about, you know, uh what do you call a guy in the room with a bunch of musicians?
1:05:33
SPEAKER_08: The drummer.
1:05:34
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:05:34
SPEAKER_08: You know, we joke about it.
1:05:36
SPEAKER_08: But the drummers are just as much a musician as anybody else, if not more in some cases.
1:05:42
SPEAKER_08: You know, I think.
1:05:44
SPEAKER_08: You don't agree?
1:05:45
SPEAKER_10: Well no, I mean the groove is what's gonna shake asses.

1:09:47
SPEAKER_08: That Friday.
1:09:47
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:09:48
SPEAKER_08: So we had uh representative of the Lime Rock Um Country Club or the Lime Rock Golf Club Golf Club, which is formerly the Limestone Country Club.
1:09:55
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
1:09:56

1:10:03
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, we've got a couple dates up at the Lime Rock Golf Club, and I was I was going to Walmart the other day, and I saw our friend Sean, and he was walking ahead of me, and I said, Hey, Sean! He turns around and says, Uh, you ignoring us or what?
1:10:20
SPEAKER_08: Right?
1:10:21
SPEAKER_08: And then he went on this whole thing, he says, No, no, man.
1:10:24
SPEAKER_08: And then he he was telling me that he the performing rights organizations are giving him a hard time.
1:10:31
SPEAKER_08: Really?
1:10:32
SPEAKER_08: Did you know that he's paying BMI to have live music?

1:10:57
SPEAKER_08: He says, no, that's for the artists.
