- 2:00SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 2:02SPEAKER_14: And it had green, yellow, and red.
- 2:04SPEAKER_14: And you know, when the sound level got like yellow, or if it got to red, you had to shut up.
- 2:10SPEAKER_18: How does it get there though?
- 2:11SPEAKER_14: Is it uh it it measures it it it it measures the the the volume of the sound in the room.
- 2:17SPEAKER_18: So they had an actual like uh like audio meter?
- 2:21SPEAKER_14: Yeah, it and it looked like a stoplight.
- 2:23SPEAKER_14: So if it was if it was green, you were okay.
- 2:25SPEAKER_14: But then as louder you got, it would get yellow.
- 2:27SPEAKER_14: That was and then if it turned red, you better shut up.
- 2:31SPEAKER_18: Right.
- 2:31SPEAKER_14: Or you're getting your butt kicked.

- 5:24SPEAKER_14: Well, yeah, you know, anytime the Cowboys lose is a good day.

- 5:40SPEAKER_14: Well, that rival between the Niners and the Cowboys.
- 5:43SPEAKER_14: It's still there.

- 5:57SPEAKER_18: Although is Jalen is um Jalen Hurts playing?
- 6:01SPEAKER_14: Well, as far as I know.
- 6:03SPEAKER_18: Yeah, because uh you know he was injured there for a while back back in the regular regular season.
- 6:08SPEAKER_18: So but that could go either way.
- 6:11SPEAKER_18: Oh yeah.
- 6:11SPEAKER_18: But Purdy is is is Purdy good.
- 6:15SPEAKER_14: He's he's he's got the hot hand right now.
- 6:17SPEAKER_14: He does.
- 6:19SPEAKER_18: But he gets in the Super Bowl with I don't know, Mahomes.
- 6:24SPEAKER_18: I don't know.

- 6:26SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 6:27SPEAKER_18: Yeah, that'll be tough.
- 6:28SPEAKER_14: So I I I assume you're uh saying the Chiefs are gonna win against the Bengals.
- 6:33SPEAKER_18: Well, Joe Burrow had a good game.
- 6:36SPEAKER_18: Um but I think yeah.
- 6:39SPEAKER_18: Okay.
- 6:39SPEAKER_18: I I think I think the Chiefs I think it's gonna be the Chiefs and the Niners.
- 6:42SPEAKER_14: I think the Bengals just run the ball, because the Chiefs got no run defense.
- 6:46SPEAKER_14: So they just run it all day long.
- 6:49SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 6:50SPEAKER_14: I don't know.
- 6:50SPEAKER_14: But whatever.

- 17:05SPEAKER_18: It was a journalist.
- 17:06SPEAKER_14: What was his name?
- 17:07SPEAKER_18: David Frickie.
- 17:08SPEAKER_14: Fricky?
- 17:09SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 17:10SPEAKER_18: Well, I think it's Frickie.
- 17:12SPEAKER_18: Or Frick.
- 17:13SPEAKER_18: F-R-I-C-K-E.
- 17:16SPEAKER_18: I know who exactly who it is, too.
- 17:18SPEAKER_18: He said Fricky.
- 17:20SPEAKER_18: He said, I wanted to deal with a serious subject that I didn't necessarily have to be a big expert on.
- 17:25SPEAKER_18: The track was basically based on the first Rambo movie.
- 17:29SPEAKER_18: Oh.
- 17:30SPEAKER_18: Phil Collin explained in a vault video interview a soldier comes back and can't adjust to regular life.
- 17:35SPEAKER_18: It just goes way off into this epic thing, and Def Leppard really hadn't done anything like that before.
- 17:43SPEAKER_18: It's a great song.
- 17:44SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
- 17:46SPEAKER_18: And you know they did when they did their Vegas residency, they took they brought out all these songs that they don't do live anymore because they have to fit in the pour some sugar on me's, the focus.
- 17:56SPEAKER_13: Oh, sure, yeah, yeah.
- 17:57SPEAKER_18: They did Die Hard the Hunter.
- 17:58SPEAKER_18: Really?
- 17:58SPEAKER_18: And they don't use any kind of vocal like tricks or anything.
- 18:03SPEAKER_18: And it sounded awesome.
- 18:05SPEAKER_18: Nice.
- 18:05SPEAKER_18: Such a great band.
- 18:06SPEAKER_18: Anyway, uh, Elliot describes Die Hard the Hunter as a classic epic song.
- 18:11SPEAKER_18: Uh, Steve Clark was great at all these bands that did epic stuff like Jimmy Page with things like Cashmere or Ten Years Gone or Rain Song and stuff like that.
- 18:20SPEAKER_18: Steve was great at coming up with all these bits that you can join together really easily and come up with something that was epic.
- 18:28SPEAKER_18: Something like Die Hard from my memory of it came together pretty easily, Joe Elliott continued.
- 18:34SPEAKER_18: It sounds like it should have been a lot more complicated than something like Stage Fright.
- 18:37SPEAKER_18: You often find that the simplest songs are the ones that are so hard to do because you're scared stiff of sounding like everybody else's simple song.
- 18:46SPEAKER_18: Rick Savage said they would all individually come up with guitar riffs, guitar ideas, more so than vocal ideas to begin with, and Die Hard the Hunter was a classic example of this.
- 18:56SPEAKER_18: I think I came up with the intro.
- 18:58SPEAKER_18: Steve had a guitar section, and we used to have all kinds of different riffs that didn't fit to a song until we started piecing them all together.
- 19:05SPEAKER_18: You can hear that.
- 19:06SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 19:06SPEAKER_18: If you listen to this song, I mean there's a lot of different riffs in there.
- 19:10SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 19:14SPEAKER_18: For Colin, everything about it is a journey to the other side.
- 19:18SPEAKER_18: After you finished it, it's like you've seen a movie or something, like an action movie.
- 19:22SPEAKER_18: It's kind of overwhelming.
- 19:23SPEAKER_18: And that was the thing.
- 19:25SPEAKER_18: Mutt would often say, of course, Mutt Lang, let's create Star Wars for the ears.
- 19:32SPEAKER_15: Hmm.
- 19:33SPEAKER_18: So yeah, this is this is an article I'm gonna read later.
- 19:37SPEAKER_18: Because it tells behind every song on Pyromania.

- 20:40SPEAKER_14: You know, of course Rick always, you know, has his right side turned everybody.
- 20:43SPEAKER_14: True.

- 28:09SPEAKER_13: Why does he keep skipping?
- 28:10SPEAKER_18: That's because the my internet is off.

- 28:21SPEAKER_18: Glenn Tipton.
- 28:23SPEAKER_18: I'm sorry, Glenn Tilbrook.
- 28:24SPEAKER_18: Glenn Tipton's from Judas Priest.

- 29:28SPEAKER_18: Who's this?
- 29:35SPEAKER_14: No idea.
- 29:36SPEAKER_14: Was it two different people or was it the same guy?
- 29:38SPEAKER_14: It's a good question.
- 29:39SPEAKER_18: I don't know.
- 29:40SPEAKER_18: Because there was a lower voice, and then there was like another one.
- 29:43SPEAKER_18: I almost think it was the same one.
- 29:44SPEAKER_18: Same guy.
- 29:45SPEAKER_18: Okay.
- 29:46SPEAKER_18: Elvis Costello.

- 30:05SPEAKER_18: Oh really?
- 30:05SPEAKER_18: So he stepped away from the producer's chair and went just to just run into the booth and just like do that and then run back in.
- 30:12SPEAKER_17: I'll do it.
- 30:12SPEAKER_17: I'll do it.

- 30:21SPEAKER_18: I did.
- 30:21SPEAKER_18: I did know that, yeah.
- 30:22SPEAKER_14: So apparently, because I I think anybody who knows Elvis Costello has seen this footage of him starting I can't remember the name of the song.
- 30:32SPEAKER_14: And then he stops and he's like, no, no, no, we're not gonna do this right now.
- 30:35SPEAKER_14: And then he goes into radio radio.
- 30:38SPEAKER_14: Well, apparently that really ticked off uh Lauren Michaels.
- 30:43SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 30:44SPEAKER_14: And uh Elvis said that during the entire time he was playing radio radio, Lauren Michaels was giving him the finger.
- 30:52SPEAKER_14: Just sitting there.

- 30:56SPEAKER_14: And then he was banned from Saturday Night Live for like 10 years.
- 30:59SPEAKER_19: So I just thought that was really funny.
- 31:02SPEAKER_19: It was very punk.
- 31:04SPEAKER_19: Yeah.
- 31:06SPEAKER_18: Sorry.
- 31:07SPEAKER_18: That's punk too.

- 33:11SPEAKER_18: It's 1978.
- 33:13SPEAKER_04: Yours now I can.
- 33:16SPEAKER_18: Stevie Nix also served as the lyrical inspiration for the song.
- 33:21SPEAKER_18: On the night when Stevie did the background vocals for my song Tunnel of Love, my nature amorous feelings toward her came into a sharper focus, says Gegan.
- 33:31SPEAKER_18: By the time I pulled into my driveway, I had formulated the lyrics and come up with a magnet metaphor.
- 33:37SPEAKER_18: From there, the song was finished in 15 minutes.
- 33:40SPEAKER_18: So this is Buckingham Knicks singing on this song.
- 33:44SPEAKER_14: That's awesome.
- 33:45SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 33:46SPEAKER_14: But they were the the Fleetwood Mac at this point, right?
- 33:48SPEAKER_18: At this point they were.
- 33:50SPEAKER_18: Yes.
- 33:50SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
- 33:50SPEAKER_18: Yeah, they were.
- 33:53SPEAKER_18: I just think it was.
- 33:53SPEAKER_18: That's that's awesome, though.
- 33:55SPEAKER_14: But I mean, you know, I can't blame the guy because she was pretty hot.
- 33:59SPEAKER_14: Back in the day, she was.
- 34:00SPEAKER_14: She was pretty hot.
- 34:01SPEAKER_18: She was.
- 34:02SPEAKER_18: Speaking of hot, uh, you'll never ever get this one.
- 34:06SPEAKER_14: Okay.
- 34:07SPEAKER_14: But I'm not gonna bother, trying.
- 34:08SPEAKER_14: I'm I'm gonna leave.
- 34:09SPEAKER_14: See you later.
- 34:10SPEAKER_18: Uh this one blew my mind.
- 34:12SPEAKER_14: Okay.
- 34:13SPEAKER_18: Really just and and and nobody would ever get it.
- 34:23unknown: Oh wow.
- 34:34SPEAKER_18: Belinda Carlisle.
- 34:36SPEAKER_14: I was about to say it's it it had a go-go's feel to it.
- 34:40SPEAKER_14: Yep.
- 34:40SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
- 34:45SPEAKER_14: Like that guitar?
- 34:49SPEAKER_14: I heard this song.
- 34:50SPEAKER_14: Oh yeah.
- 34:50SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
- 34:51SPEAKER_14: Not now.
- 34:53SPEAKER_14: Oh, there it is.
- 34:59SPEAKER_14: So is it a guest guitar player?
- 35:01SPEAKER_11: Yes.
- 35:12SPEAKER_18: I don't know.
- 35:13SPEAKER_18: I think I don't know.
- 35:15SPEAKER_18: Does this song have a guitar solo in it?
- 35:17SPEAKER_18: I I don't remember.
- 35:21SPEAKER_18: It's a big hit for her.
- 35:22SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 35:23SPEAKER_18: Let's see if there's a guitar solo.
- 35:25SPEAKER_18: Oh, maybe there is a guitar solo now that I think about it.
- 35:29SPEAKER_14: There must be.
- 35:30SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 35:30SPEAKER_18: And maybe you'll get it after you hear the guitar solo.
- 35:34SPEAKER_18: This this blew me away.
- 35:38SPEAKER_18: I'm just gonna let it play for a second.
- 35:44SPEAKER_18: I don't want to lose the internet again.
- 35:56SPEAKER_16: It's gotta be a guitar staller coming.
- 35:58SPEAKER_16: I was about to say that's the bridge, yeah.
- 35:59SPEAKER_14: So here it goes.
- 36:04SPEAKER_11: Nope.
- 36:07SPEAKER_11: Nope.
- 36:08SPEAKER_18: Here it comes.
- 36:10SPEAKER_18: You'll get it.
- 36:16SPEAKER_17: That's another bridge.
- 36:17SPEAKER_17: Is that it?
- 36:18SPEAKER_17: No, no.
- 36:30SPEAKER_14: That's George Harrison.
- 36:35SPEAKER_14: Wow.
- 36:36SPEAKER_14: That is a George Solo, man.
- 36:39SPEAKER_14: That is so unmistakable.
- 36:41SPEAKER_14: I didn't realize.
- 36:42SPEAKER_18: It is George Harrison.
- 36:43SPEAKER_14: Wow! That's so cool.
- 36:52SPEAKER_14: I never would have pictured George Harrison on a Belinda Carlisle song.
- 36:59SPEAKER_14: Oh yeah, right there.
- 37:00SPEAKER_14: I mean, that's a that's George.
- 37:02SPEAKER_18: The reason he did it is because he liked her voice.
- 37:06SPEAKER_14: I can't blame him.
- 37:07SPEAKER_14: I like her voice too.
- 37:09SPEAKER_18: They found out that he was a fan of hers, so they just made it like a suggestion.
- 37:14SPEAKER_18: Would you want to come and play?
- 37:15SPEAKER_18: Sure, yeah.
- 37:17SPEAKER_18: I'll be quite prepared for that eventuality.
- 37:21SPEAKER_18: So he did.
- 37:21SPEAKER_18: He's he says according to his widow, Harrison agreed to the unlikely guest appearance simply because he liked Carlisle's voice.
- 37:28SPEAKER_18: Harrison reportedly told her team that he hoped they enjoyed his work because he got a blister while recording his part.
- 37:37SPEAKER_14: That is awesome, man.
- 37:39SPEAKER_14: I never would have guessed.
- 37:41SPEAKER_14: Yeah, that's awesome, man.
- 37:42SPEAKER_14: Uh so now I'll never hear that song again without thinking of George.
- 37:46SPEAKER_14: That's awesome.
- 37:47SPEAKER_18: Uh Brian Adams, when Brian Adams was recording Reckless, his big, big, big, big album.
- 37:52SPEAKER_18: Right.
- 37:52SPEAKER_18: Um, there was someone in the studio next door.
- 37:56SPEAKER_18: And they needed help with background vocals on a bunch of the songs off Reckless.
- 38:02SPEAKER_18: So this guy said, Yeah, sure.
- 38:05SPEAKER_18: And they offered to pay him, but he refused.
- 38:09SPEAKER_18: So Foreigners Lou Graham is all over the Reckless album.
- 38:14SPEAKER_18: Free of charge.
- 38:15SPEAKER_14: Wow.
- 38:16SPEAKER_14: That's impressive.
- 38:17SPEAKER_18: Yep.
- 38:17SPEAKER_18: Carly Simon and McJagger, of course.
- 38:19SPEAKER_18: You're so vain.
- 38:20SPEAKER_18: You knew that.
- 38:20SPEAKER_18: We knew that was McJagger.
- 38:22SPEAKER_18: Uh this one you may not have known.
- 38:24SPEAKER_18: Uh let me go to my icon on this one because I happen to have it.
- 38:27SPEAKER_18: I don't think we won't have to worry about the internet.
- 38:31SPEAKER_18: Uh where did I go?
- 38:39SPEAKER_19: I don't know.
- 38:40SPEAKER_19: Where did I go?
- 38:46SPEAKER_18: Come on.

- 40:01SPEAKER_14: Was it Mark Knopfler?
- 40:02SPEAKER_18: Nope.
- 40:06SPEAKER_18: You'll think yourself because it does have a distinctive sound.
- 40:10SPEAKER_18: If you put that slide guitar in with another band.
- 40:23SPEAKER_14: Is it back there?
- 40:24SPEAKER_18: I don't hear the slide right now.

- 43:15SPEAKER_14: No, that was early in that.
- 43:16SPEAKER_14: It was like 66, 67.
- 43:22SPEAKER_14: So this had to be 68, 69.
- 43:27SPEAKER_18: I almost thought this was in the 70s, but I could be wrong.
- 43:30SPEAKER_18: Hold on, let's see.
- 43:32SPEAKER_14: The Joe Cocker one?
- 43:33SPEAKER_14: The Joe Cocker one.

- 45:33SPEAKER_18: Because it's a song that I didn't know.
- 45:36SPEAKER_18: Um, although it's it's very reminiscent of Wow, it's it's basically another song.
- 45:44SPEAKER_18: But just listen, see if you can tell who's guesting on this.

- 47:42SPEAKER_14: I mean, session work is such a rabbit hole.
- 47:45SPEAKER_18: It it is.
- 47:46SPEAKER_14: You know, you could just go down, you could just go into you know who did what on what album and just go on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and never.

- 53:26SPEAKER_14: It is Willie Nelson.
- 53:30SPEAKER_18: N is for Willie Nelson.
- 53:33SPEAKER_18: If you're trying to figure out what I was doing.
- 53:35SPEAKER_14: I was like, what is your problem?
- 53:39SPEAKER_14: Now I'm thinking is about uh when we had that interview with uh Jeff from uh Dirt Drifters.
- 53:44SPEAKER_18: He was talking about when the Willie did the song with them.
- 53:46SPEAKER_18: Yes, yes, Jeff Middleton.
- 53:48SPEAKER_18: Yep.
- 53:49SPEAKER_18: Uh this country outlaw rebelled against the constraints of the Nashville sound and became one of the most recognized artists in country music.
- 53:56SPEAKER_18: Born during the Great Depression, Nelson literally sang his way out of hardship.
- 54:01SPEAKER_18: Yeah, he's like a hundred now, something like that.
- 54:03SPEAKER_14: He's a million years old, man.

- 54:14SPEAKER_14: Alright.
- 54:15SPEAKER_14: So that was the country legends.
- 54:17SPEAKER_14: So now we're gonna go to Debito's legends.
- 54:20SPEAKER_07: Right!
- 54:21SPEAKER_14: And it's for nowhere man.
- 54:26SPEAKER_19: He's the real nowhere man sitting in his no.
- 54:33SPEAKER_18: Before you start reading, because you know I should get I should get on top of this stuff, but like you said, we don't prepare.
- 54:38SPEAKER_18: So why would we?
- 54:41SPEAKER_14: It's just it's just not us.
- 54:43SPEAKER_14: Right.
- 54:44SPEAKER_14: But what is us?
- 54:46SPEAKER_14: Us is a very fluid concept.
- 54:49SPEAKER_14: You know?
- 54:52SPEAKER_14: Where is that?
- 54:54SPEAKER_14: I don't know.
- 54:55SPEAKER_14: It's a really dumb picture, I know.

- 55:02SPEAKER_18: Oh I don't know what that is either.
- 55:04SPEAKER_18: Here we go.
- 55:05SPEAKER_02: He's a real nowhere man sitting in his nowhere land, making all his nowhere land for nobody.
- 55:19SPEAKER_02: Alright, go ahead.
- 55:20SPEAKER_14: Okay.
- 55:21SPEAKER_14: The man in the song can be anyone, really, but it was actually written by John Lennon about himself during a bad case of writer's block.
- 55:30SPEAKER_14: What starts in melancholy melancholy, what starts in melancholy soon becomes hopeful.
- 55:38SPEAKER_14: A reassuring reminder that even great people have bad days, and even the worst days can be overcome.
- 55:44SPEAKER_14: That was really very deep.

- 55:47SPEAKER_14: Me too.
- 55:48SPEAKER_14: Yes, this is an excellent song.

- 56:13SPEAKER_18: Right, this was '65.
- 56:15SPEAKER_14: Yeah, because this was them starting to get more creative in the studio.
- 56:19SPEAKER_14: And they were it was harder to reproduce it on stage.
- 56:23SPEAKER_14: This was like the beginning of it.
- 56:25SPEAKER_18: Right.

- 56:28SPEAKER_18: Yeah.
- 56:29SPEAKER_14: You know how rich and they are, you know.
- 56:31SPEAKER_14: You can't you couldn't reproduce those when they were.

- 56:37SPEAKER_14: Exactly.
- 56:37SPEAKER_14: Yeah.

- 56:43SPEAKER_18: Um and they couldn't hear themselves on stage.
- 56:47SPEAKER_18: Nobody could hear them sing.
- 56:48SPEAKER_14: It was sad, man.
