- 11:49SPEAKER_04: It was really good.
- 11:50SPEAKER_04: And then uh so my wife is eating the pasta salad, and she says, Hold this for a second, and she has to go do something with my daughter, and I finished it.
- 12:01SPEAKER_04: Because I'm standing there talking to somebody and I'm just like, you know, waiting for her to come get it, and I'm just doing it.
- 12:08SPEAKER_04: Did you eat my pasta?
- 12:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 12:11SPEAKER_04: Uh but it was really good.

- 12:17SPEAKER_04: I don't think so.
- 12:18SPEAKER_04: No?
- 12:18SPEAKER_04: I know it says Hometown Proud on it.
- 12:21SPEAKER_08: But it's just it's just i think it's just an outreach.
- 12:25SPEAKER_08: I think it's a go-between between the stores and when they eventually open the restaurant.
- 12:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 12:31SPEAKER_04: So well, because that yeah.
- 12:33SPEAKER_08: Which I s where was I?
- 12:35SPEAKER_08: Oh, yes, it was yesterday.
- 12:36SPEAKER_08: I w I went through town and there were people in there.
- 12:39SPEAKER_08: In the restaurant?
- 12:39SPEAKER_08: In the restaurant.
- 12:40SPEAKER_08: Looks like they were cleaning.
- 12:41SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 12:42SPEAKER_04: So So just to put it in context, so a couple of our friends um from when we were growing up, they one of them owns uh several supermarkets, and one of them is a sheriff who's actually retiring.
- 12:57SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 12:58SPEAKER_04: Um, and they went in on with another friend on uh the Irish Setter Pub.
- 13:03SPEAKER_04: We we we used to love the Irish Setter Pub.
- 13:05SPEAKER_04: It's our favorite place to play.
- 13:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 13:07SPEAKER_04: Uh we played there every St.
- 13:08SPEAKER_04: Patrick's Day, and but it unfortunately closed down.
- 13:12SPEAKER_04: Well, these guys bought it and they're going to reopen it.
- 13:15SPEAKER_04: It won't be the Irish Setter Pub.
- 13:17SPEAKER_04: No, it's gonna be the maple pig.
- 13:18SPEAKER_04: The maple pig.
- 13:19SPEAKER_04: So they're gonna you know be pulled pork and all that stuff.
- 13:21SPEAKER_04: Probably everything that you find on their food truck.
- 13:23SPEAKER_08: Probably.
- 13:24SPEAKER_08: That's what I'm saying.
- 13:25SPEAKER_04: I think this is just a this is like a trial run for the good.
- 13:31SPEAKER_04: It's gonna be good.
- 13:31SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so I'm excited about that.
- 13:33SPEAKER_04: So uh and then we we so we ate and then I go back and find out that our lead singer uh got a migraine and went home.
- 13:42SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I was so confused because I was sitting, I was sitting in the VIP tent, and I was just kind of you know, just kind of lay over looking around and and and Missy came over and she's like, Oh, what are we gonna do without Anthony?
- 13:54SPEAKER_08: I was like, What do you mean we're gonna do without Anthony?
- 13:56SPEAKER_08: She's like, he left.
- 13:57SPEAKER_08: He has a migraine.
- 13:58SPEAKER_04: I'm like, What?
- 13:59SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 14:00SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 14:00SPEAKER_04: I went on to talk to Chris and Jordan, and I was like, and and it's like, yeah, Anthony, uh, he went home.
- 14:05SPEAKER_04: He's got a house in limestone, so he went he went to his house to take migraine meds and uh lay down for a while.

- 14:19SPEAKER_04: Sorry to sorry to spring that on you.
- 14:21SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
- 14:22SPEAKER_04: So we scrambled a little bit, but between the all of us, I think we did pretty good.
- 14:27SPEAKER_08: I think, yeah, it was it was it was a little rough.
- 14:29SPEAKER_08: Of course it was because we didn't know what you know, we were like, Who's singing this one?
- 14:33SPEAKER_08: Oh, you want to sing it?
- 14:34SPEAKER_08: Oh, okay.
- 14:35SPEAKER_08: I'll try.
- 14:37SPEAKER_08: So it was like it was a little it was a little chaotic in the city.
- 14:41SPEAKER_04: It was chaotic and thrown together, but I mean for all intents and purposes, we made it through.
- 14:45SPEAKER_08: I mean, there was there was a lady uh sitting out there, she'd never seen us before.
- 14:50SPEAKER_08: And I went out to talk to uh mom and dad, and uh she was like, You guys are amazing, and I'm like, it would be even better if we had her lead singer.
- 14:59SPEAKER_08: And then he he did show up, he did come back and just just in time for the second set.
- 15:03SPEAKER_04: Yeah, which was really, really cool.
- 15:05SPEAKER_08: And and I c I felt the band like relaxed after that.
- 15:11SPEAKER_08: And everybody was just like, Yeah, I think the second set was you know much more smooth.
- 15:15SPEAKER_08: Yep, you know, because everybody was more, you know, oh he's back, we're good, you know, we this is the way it was supposed to be.
- 15:20SPEAKER_08: Because if we'd known ahead of time, I mean, like, say he couldn't make it at all, right?
- 15:24SPEAKER_08: We would have known ahead of time.
- 15:26SPEAKER_08: We were better prepared.
- 15:27SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah.
- 15:28SPEAKER_08: It would have been a lot smoother.
- 15:29SPEAKER_08: But since it was like last minute, we were like, whoa, what do we panic mode?
- 15:33SPEAKER_08: Yeah, you know what I mean?
- 15:34SPEAKER_08: So but I I meant I remember I turned around at one point, I can't remember what song it was, and uh I was I was talking to Chris and John, and I was like, that's what I love about this band.
- 15:44SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 15:45SPEAKER_08: Just roll with the punch.
- 15:46SPEAKER_08: Roll with it.
- 15:47SPEAKER_08: You know, especially as big as it is, and to be able to roll with it that smoothly.
- 15:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:52SPEAKER_08: I mean, it says a lot about the people in the van.
- 15:55SPEAKER_08: I think so.
- 15:55SPEAKER_08: I think so.
- 15:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:56SPEAKER_04: No, it's uh I think the gig was uh I mean it was an interesting one, but it was a success, I think.
- 16:01SPEAKER_04: I think so, yeah.
- 16:02SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah.
- 16:02SPEAKER_08: So or finally we get to play outside.
- 16:04SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 16:05SPEAKER_08: You know, so we're not like blowing people's eardrums.
- 16:07SPEAKER_04: So next we're uh we're at well, well, you and I are playing at a birthday party on Saturday.
- 16:12SPEAKER_04: Don't forget.
- 16:13SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 16:13SPEAKER_08: Do we know where that is?
- 16:14SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I do.
- 16:14SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 16:15SPEAKER_04: I'll let you know.
- 16:16SPEAKER_04: I'll fill you in.
- 16:17SPEAKER_08: Uh and then just tell me it's not three hours.
- 16:20SPEAKER_04: It is three hours.
- 16:22SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it is three hours.
- 16:23SPEAKER_04: Killing me, dude.
- 16:24SPEAKER_04: It's at somebody's house, too.
- 16:25SPEAKER_04: Oh, even worse.
- 16:26SPEAKER_04: I think it's probably in the garage, but I'm not sure.
- 16:29SPEAKER_08: Uh I'm gonna be sick that night.
- 16:32SPEAKER_04: Please don't.
- 16:33SPEAKER_04: You're my security blanket.
- 16:35SPEAKER_04: Please don't.
- 16:36SPEAKER_08: Uh, that's not gonna be good.
- 16:38SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean, we can take a break in the middle.
- 16:40SPEAKER_04: We can they they've never seen this before, so we can we could say that's the thing, man.
- 16:44SPEAKER_08: I'm getting breakfast.
- 16:46SPEAKER_08: I'm getting too old to play three straight hours.
- 16:48SPEAKER_08: Okay, well, it's just getting too hard.
- 16:49SPEAKER_04: All you gotta do is tell me.
- 16:50SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 16:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 16:52SPEAKER_04: Let's start taking breaks.
- 16:53SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 16:53SPEAKER_04: Because that's what a lot of people don't know, is when we play our acoustic gig, we go three hours straight.
- 16:58SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 16:58SPEAKER_08: It's just getting too rough.
- 16:59SPEAKER_04: Um and so yeah, we'll take a break halfway through.
- 17:02SPEAKER_04: Or maybe two breaks.
- 17:04SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 17:04SPEAKER_04: We'll see.
- 17:04SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 17:05SPEAKER_04: We'll see how it goes.
- 17:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 17:06SPEAKER_04: Play it by ear.
- 17:07SPEAKER_04: And then the syndicate has a show on Sunday down uh pirate themed.
- 17:10SPEAKER_04: Are you are you dressing as a pirate?
- 17:12SPEAKER_04: I'm not dressing as a pirate.
- 17:13SPEAKER_04: What are you doing?
- 17:14SPEAKER_04: I'm bringing a bandana.
- 17:16SPEAKER_08: No, I'm bringing a black beard flag.
- 17:18SPEAKER_08: Oh, there you go.
- 17:19SPEAKER_04: So there you go.
- 17:21SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna bring two eye patches.
- 17:22SPEAKER_04: There you go.
- 17:23SPEAKER_04: Wear them over both ears?
- 17:24SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 17:24SPEAKER_04: Over both ears.
- 17:26SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 17:27SPEAKER_08: What about your buccaneers under my bucking hat?
- 17:31SPEAKER_04: Yes, I'm gonna put them over both my eyes.
- 17:35SPEAKER_04: If Stevie Wonder was a pirate.
- 17:38SPEAKER_04: Uh so yeah.
- 17:39SPEAKER_04: So that's what's going on with the syndicate.
- 17:41SPEAKER_04: Uh what else?
- 17:45unknown: Yeah.
- 17:45SPEAKER_19: Yeah.
- 17:46SPEAKER_04: That's it.
- 17:47SPEAKER_04: I'm trying to get um actually let's do this because Shane sent us a message.
- 17:53SPEAKER_04: Uh I don't know if you saw it.
- 17:55SPEAKER_04: Are you yeah, I think you did.
- 17:57SPEAKER_04: Did I?
- 17:57SPEAKER_04: I think you did.
- 17:58SPEAKER_04: Uh he asked what our opinion was of the new song from Fallout Boy, which is a cover of sorts of the classic Billy Joel song We Didn't Start the Fire.
- 18:10SPEAKER_04: Now, they obviously sounds like Fallout Boy.
- 18:15SPEAKER_04: Um, I haven't pre-done my my my pre-show uh setup here.
- 18:21SPEAKER_03: So I'm gonna do that.
- 18:23SPEAKER_03: Oh, and no, that's where is it right here?
- 18:27SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 18:29SPEAKER_03: I love it when that happens.
- 18:32SPEAKER_04: Just adds to the character of the show.
- 18:34SPEAKER_08: You never know what's gonna happen.
- 18:37SPEAKER_08: Never know.
- 18:37SPEAKER_08: Stuff's gonna fall.
- 18:40SPEAKER_08: Stuff's not gonna record.
- 18:42SPEAKER_08: I always should check on that, Jennifer.
- 18:43SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I probably should.
- 18:44SPEAKER_04: Well, the light is still on.
- 18:46SPEAKER_04: That's always a good thing.
- 18:48SPEAKER_08: As long as it doesn't say right error.
- 18:50SPEAKER_04: If I pick it up.
- 18:51SPEAKER_08: Don't do that!
- 18:52SPEAKER_04: It doesn't say right error.
- 18:53SPEAKER_08: Okay.
- 18:53SPEAKER_08: Now it does.
- 18:54SPEAKER_08: That's good.
- 18:54SPEAKER_08: Now I just picked it up.
- 18:56SPEAKER_04: Now it does.
- 18:56SPEAKER_04: Let me pick up my CD button.
- 18:59SPEAKER_04: Alright.
- 19:00SPEAKER_04: So um they re- they redid Billy Jewel's We Did Start of the Fire.
- 19:06SPEAKER_04: And Shane wanted to know what our opinion of it was.
- 19:09SPEAKER_04: Now I'm not a huge Fallout Boy fan.
- 19:12SPEAKER_08: I mean I didn't even think they were still around, to be honest with you.
- 19:15SPEAKER_08: Um Pretty Boy, right?
- 19:17SPEAKER_04: Pete Wentz.
- 19:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 19:19SPEAKER_04: And what was that that big big hit that they had?
- 19:22SPEAKER_04: I don't even know.
- 19:24SPEAKER_04: Um cock it and pull it.
- 19:27SPEAKER_04: Uh da da da da da da da.
- 19:32SPEAKER_04: Anyway.
- 19:33SPEAKER_04: Um we didn't start the fire, but they changed the words, obviously, because they put more events in.
- 19:42SPEAKER_04: Ah, okay.
- 19:43SPEAKER_04: Have you heard it?
- 19:44SPEAKER_04: No.
- 19:44SPEAKER_04: Um I'm just gonna play it.
- 19:46SPEAKER_04: I'll get your opinion afterwards.
- 19:48SPEAKER_04: So let's see if I can get this to work here.
- 22:11SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so the other criticism was it's just the novelty has worn off.
- 22:17SPEAKER_04: I mean Billy Joel came out with it and was like, well, this is different.
- 22:20SPEAKER_04: This is cool.
- 22:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 22:22SPEAKER_04: And it just did the same thing, just with different well, it's the millennial version.
- 22:28SPEAKER_04: Yeah, right.
- 22:29SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's exactly.
- 22:32SPEAKER_04: Yeah, right.
- 22:32SPEAKER_04: You know.
- 22:33SPEAKER_04: So I mean I mean I guess it's I mean it's they're a good band, I guess.
- 22:38SPEAKER_08: I don't like them very much, but it's not a terrible it's not a terrible version, it's actually pretty good.
- 22:44SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 22:45SPEAKER_04: But it's like the the novelty is worn off.
- 22:47SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I I really most of these events are events I could care less about.
- 22:52SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 22:53SPEAKER_04: But I also think if they would have done it It's more about people.
- 22:58SPEAKER_08: You know, you know, you know instead of events.
- 23:00SPEAKER_08: Kanye, Taylor, Michael Jordan, yeah.
- 23:02SPEAKER_08: They're just naming people.
- 23:04SPEAKER_08: Most of it's that, you know.
- 23:05SPEAKER_08: But you know.
- 23:06SPEAKER_04: But I also think if they would have done it in a different way, musically, then maybe it would have a more of a sting.
- 23:13SPEAKER_04: Do you know, like if you if you still had the melody, but if you did it at a uh different tempo, or you know, just make it even more different than the original.
- 23:24SPEAKER_04: Because that's just like the original.
- 23:26SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 23:27SPEAKER_04: Um which is okay, I guess, but I don't know.
- 23:31SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm saying?
- 23:32SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I hear you.
- 23:32SPEAKER_04: Maybe I'm just maybe I'm just being too super critical.
- 23:35SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 23:36SPEAKER_04: But it's not my favorite.
- 23:37SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's okay.
- 23:37SPEAKER_04: It's okay.
- 23:38SPEAKER_04: It's not bad.
- 23:39SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's okay.
- 23:40SPEAKER_04: Um I still I still like uh the original better.
- 23:45SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 23:45SPEAKER_04: But uh while we're on a new music kick, let's see if you can figure out who this is.
- 23:52SPEAKER_04: Well, you will once you start once the singing starts.
- 23:57SPEAKER_04: The song is called So Much.
- 24:04SPEAKER_11: So much unfinished business.
- 24:10SPEAKER_11: I'll stick you with desire.
- 24:13SPEAKER_02: Maybe you won't get it because this is not uh the empty shells of all the rock.
- 24:22SPEAKER_11: Kind of sounds like Peter Gabriel.
- 24:24SPEAKER_04: It is Peter Gabriel.
- 24:25SPEAKER_04: Wow, good job.
- 24:26SPEAKER_04: Uh it's from his upcoming album I O I slash O.
- 24:31SPEAKER_04: In and Out, maybe.
- 24:32SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 24:33SPEAKER_04: It's the seventh track from the album.
- 24:35SPEAKER_04: Each song arrived during the 2023 Full Moons.
- 24:40SPEAKER_04: For each full moon, he's released a song from the album.
- 24:42SPEAKER_11: Draw Sue.
- 24:44SPEAKER_04: Of this year.
- 24:45SPEAKER_11: Accomplish.
- 24:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I know.
- 24:46SPEAKER_11: He's such a wack-a-doodle.
- 24:49SPEAKER_04: Man, he is a bit of a wack-a-doodle.
- 24:51SPEAKER_04: Um, so I mean, I I just like to hear new music from guys like Peter Gabriel.
- 24:56SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, the heritage.
- 24:57SPEAKER_04: It's good that he stole, you know, Heritage Artists, I guess is what you call them.
- 25:00SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 25:00SPEAKER_04: So now their uh Ultimate Classic Rock has four lists, and I'm a I imagine it's it's because of the Fourth of July.
- 25:10SPEAKER_04: Now, when I first looked at these, I wasn't paying attention to the title of the lists because I was up in arms.
- 25:18SPEAKER_04: Because the lists are top 25 uh American classic rock bands of the 60s.
- 25:24SPEAKER_04: Well, my mind didn't read American because I looked at their list and I was like, the Beatles aren't even on this list! Oh where are the Rolling Stones?
- 25:36SPEAKER_04: I was like, oh American America.
- 25:41SPEAKER_04: So uh I thought when maybe we'd tackle one of these lists.
- 25:44SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 25:45SPEAKER_04: Uh because there's a lot of shared uh there's uh some of these bands are on all of these lists.
- 25:50SPEAKER_04: Sure.
- 25:50SPEAKER_04: Uh 67 or 870s or 80s or 90s, which would you uh which would you like to show?
- 25:54SPEAKER_04: Let's go to the 60s, maybe.
- 25:55SPEAKER_04: Oh, the 60s.
- 25:56SPEAKER_04: Okay, and some of these surprised me because you wouldn't uh some of these don't fit into my top 100 bands.
- 26:05SPEAKER_04: But here we go.

- 27:49SPEAKER_08: So I don't know.
- 27:50SPEAKER_04: Although they're based in America, maybe.

- 38:19SPEAKER_08: I don't think it did.
- 38:20SPEAKER_08: I think it was like 91.
- 38:22SPEAKER_04: Alright, let's double check here.
- 38:23SPEAKER_08: 9192.
- 38:24SPEAKER_08: I didn't I think that's too late for.
- 38:27SPEAKER_04: I am not sure on that one.
- 38:29SPEAKER_04: I wanted to say it was late 80s.
- 38:31SPEAKER_08: No, I don't think so.
- 38:32SPEAKER_08: It's it's very early 90s.
- 38:35SPEAKER_08: It's 9192, somewhere around there.
- 38:37SPEAKER_04: Well, we'll see if you're right on this one.

- 38:50SPEAKER_04: September of 91.
- 38:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 38:51SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 38:52SPEAKER_04: But would you put anything that the Chili Peppers did in the 90s, besides that album, above the black album for Metallica?
- 39:00SPEAKER_08: No.
- 39:01SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 39:02SPEAKER_08: No.
- 39:02SPEAKER_08: I I mean I'm I'm honestly surprised Metallica's as low down as it is.
- 39:07SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 39:07SPEAKER_08: Because that black album I mean, because once that black album came out, they were that was it.
- 39:12SPEAKER_04: Oh, exactly.
- 39:12SPEAKER_04: You know.
- 39:13SPEAKER_04: But the Chili Peppers are are higher than they are on the list.

- 39:33SPEAKER_04: Oh Nirvana.
- 39:34SPEAKER_04: Nirvana.
- 39:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah, number one is Nirvana in the 90s.
- 39:37SPEAKER_04: So can you think of any American bands?
- 39:44SPEAKER_04: And I gotta think that's why some of them, especially in the 60s and 70s, some of them were on that list because you can't think of a lot of American bands because a lot of the the bands we listen to are British.
- 39:55SPEAKER_04: Um you know, like the guess who, that's Canadian.
- 39:59SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 39:59SPEAKER_04: Um sixties though, wasn't weren't the turtles American?
- 40:07SPEAKER_04: Were they?
- 40:08SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 40:09SPEAKER_04: I thought the c I thought the turtles were American.
- 40:11SPEAKER_04: I would think that the turtles would be on that list.
- 40:15SPEAKER_04: Um But they're not classic rock.
- 40:17SPEAKER_04: They're not?
- 40:18SPEAKER_08: I I would consider the turtles more p-pop rock.
- 40:24SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 40:25SPEAKER_04: What's the Beach Boys?
- 40:28SPEAKER_08: Well, the Beach Boys, that was that was their own thing.
- 40:31SPEAKER_08: Surf.
- 40:32SPEAKER_04: Right, but it's like pick pop, isn't it?
- 40:34SPEAKER_04: But it's pop, yeah.
- 40:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 40:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the turtles were 65, and they're they're an American.
- 40:38SPEAKER_04: They were American.
- 40:40SPEAKER_04: Happy Together.
- 40:41SPEAKER_04: It ain't me, babe.
- 40:43SPEAKER_04: Eleanor.
- 40:44SPEAKER_04: I I don't know.
- 40:45SPEAKER_04: Uh I'm trying to think of if you can can think of any other bands from the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s that are from America that didn't make that list.
- 40:54SPEAKER_04: What's um um well no, I was gonna say Black Flag probably wouldn't have made that list.
- 41:03SPEAKER_08: No, they're not gonna be on any list.
- 41:05SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 41:06SPEAKER_08: Oh, speaking of that, I pulled the trigger and bought a ticket to see Henry Ron.
- 41:11SPEAKER_08: Did you?
- 41:11SPEAKER_08: Yes.
- 41:12SPEAKER_08: Oh, that's awesome.
- 41:13SPEAKER_08: Well, I'm going to Walderboro, the Walderborough show.
- 41:15SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 41:16SPEAKER_08: I don't I'm not sure.
- 41:16SPEAKER_04: And it is, by the way, it is through um it is through uh waterfront concerts.
- 41:22SPEAKER_08: The the Bar Harbor one is, not not Walderborough.
- 41:25SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
- 41:26SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 41:26SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 41:27SPEAKER_08: Uh because when I when I checked out the Bar Harbor show, it was through Ticketmaster.
- 41:31unknown: Yeah.
- 41:32SPEAKER_08: I was like, screw that.

- 48:48SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 48:48SPEAKER_04: No.
- 48:48SPEAKER_04: I have no idea where it is.

- 48:57SPEAKER_08: That's where it is.
- 48:58SPEAKER_08: When did they put an amphitheater in?
- 49:00SPEAKER_04: Right, that's the thing.
- 49:01SPEAKER_04: It's the same place that we saw bare naked ladies and big head todd and all that.
- 49:05SPEAKER_04: BB King.
- 49:06SPEAKER_04: And BB King.
- 49:06SPEAKER_04: Right there?
- 49:07SPEAKER_08: Yep.
- 49:07SPEAKER_08: But they put an amphitheater in there.
- 49:08SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 49:09SPEAKER_04: Really?
- 49:09SPEAKER_04: And it's completely built up, it looks completely different.
- 49:12SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
- 49:12SPEAKER_04: I'll show you some pictures.
- 49:14SPEAKER_04: I don't realize I took some pictures on my phone.
- 49:16SPEAKER_04: Um but you know, so we were on grass, right?
- 49:19SPEAKER_04: And and they had some chairs and everything.
- 49:21SPEAKER_04: When we went to see BB King and everything, we stood.
- 49:24SPEAKER_04: Right?
- 49:24SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 49:25SPEAKER_04: And on on grass and on like a hill.
- 49:27SPEAKER_08: Well, I we were by the porta potties, I remember that.
- 49:29SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 49:30SPEAKER_08: And we saw we saw we actually got to see them wheel BB up to the stage.
- 49:34SPEAKER_04: Yes, we did.
- 49:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 49:35SPEAKER_08: Which was kind of cool.
- 49:36SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 49:37SPEAKER_08: Which it was cool, but it was sad at the same time because he couldn't he couldn't walk under his own power up the ramp.
- 49:42SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 49:43SPEAKER_08: But once he got on stage, you wouldn't even know it.
- 49:45SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 49:47SPEAKER_04: Still the classiest shows I've ever seen.
- 49:48SPEAKER_04: Absolutely.
- 49:49SPEAKER_04: Um, so so th we were kind of uh on the on the grass and then on it went up like a hill, like the the back lawn, you know, those tickets were were cheaper and blah blah blah blah.
- 50:01SPEAKER_04: So where we were standing is now all concrete.
- 50:05SPEAKER_04: It's all um cement.
- 50:07SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 50:07SPEAKER_04: And they have uh seating down the front, and then there's a tier, like uh it's like a s like stairs.
- 50:15SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 50:16SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 50:16SPEAKER_04: So two hundreds are here, three hundreds are here, lawn is way back there.
- 50:20SPEAKER_04: But then you get still a lawn?
- 50:22SPEAKER_04: Yeah, there's still well, they call it lawn seats.
- 50:25SPEAKER_04: Uh I don't know if they're standing on the lawn or not.
- 50:28SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 50:28SPEAKER_04: But and then on each side you've got box seats.
- 50:33SPEAKER_04: And it's they've really done a good job.
- 50:35SPEAKER_04: The best thing that they did is um because you used to have to go in the same place.
- 50:41SPEAKER_04: Oh, you know, everybody went in the same gate.
- 50:42SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 50:43SPEAKER_04: Um well, now they have multiple gates that you can go in.
- 50:48SPEAKER_08: Okay.
- 50:49SPEAKER_04: So coming into the show and leaving the show is so much more organized.
- 50:53SPEAKER_08: Oh, that's good.
- 50:54SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 50:54SPEAKER_08: Used to be chaotic.
- 50:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 50:56SPEAKER_04: So we went to see James Taylor and just before uh the show uh started, probably about a half hour before the show started, it started to pour.
- 51:06SPEAKER_10: Ah yes.
- 51:06SPEAKER_04: Yes, it started to pour.
- 51:08SPEAKER_04: So we had we'd we had gone to Walmart and bought two dollar ponchos.
- 51:11SPEAKER_04: So we put those on, and he came out, and at first I thought there was something wrong with him.
- 51:18SPEAKER_04: Because um he just didn't he he has he has developed this singing style over the years where he just kind of tightens up his feet and does stuff like this, you know, and just sings kind of in a weird so I took that with a grain of salt, but then his voice sounded weird, and I was like, something's wrong.
- 51:41SPEAKER_04: Something's wrong.
- 51:41SPEAKER_04: And then finally, after like three songs in, he took out a handkerchief and says, I've been fighting a cold.
- 51:47SPEAKER_08: Ah, that explains it.
- 51:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah, blew his nose and all that stuff, and and uh but he continued to put he's a great storyteller.
- 51:55SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know, in between songs he'll tell a story and it's just hilarious.
- 51:59SPEAKER_04: It's just really, really entertaining.
- 52:02SPEAKER_04: And dude, he had Mike Landau on guitar.
- 52:05SPEAKER_08: Really?
- 52:06SPEAKER_04: Oh Mike Landau on guitar.
- 52:08SPEAKER_04: But I to I sent you a text from the show because um You did?

- 57:07SPEAKER_08: I don't know.
- 57:08SPEAKER_08: I don't know.
- 57:08SPEAKER_08: I think he likes Iron Maiden, but he just doesn't like the fans.

- 59:33SPEAKER_04: It's an inside joke.
- 59:35SPEAKER_04: Do you uh do you have a joke?
- 59:37SPEAKER_04: Do you have or or a story?
- 59:39SPEAKER_08: Oh, wait, a history uh um Well, today I'm going to speak on Stevie Ray Vaughn because I saw him over the weekend.
- 59:47SPEAKER_08: Oh, that's right.
- 59:48SPEAKER_08: Not personally.
- 59:49SPEAKER_08: I did not travel back in time, nor did I see him in a vision.
- 59:52SPEAKER_08: Or did he come to me from beyond the grave?
- 59:57SPEAKER_08: No.
- 59:57SPEAKER_08: I when I got home from the gig, I was while you tell this story, I'm going to eat.
- 1:00:01SPEAKER_08: Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:00:02SPEAKER_08: So when I got home from the gig Saturday and I I always like because I'm always like starving.
- 1:00:07SPEAKER_08: Because I don't eat before gigs.
- 1:00:09SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:00:10SPEAKER_08: So when I get home, I you know eat some food and I watch whatever.
- 1:00:15SPEAKER_08: Well, I just happened to be flipping through the channels, and lo and behold, Stevie Ray Vaughn is on Austin City Limits on PBS.
- 1:00:24SPEAKER_08: Well, they were showing an earlier show from like 1983.
- 1:00:29SPEAKER_08: Oh, wow.
- 1:00:30SPEAKER_08: When it was just him in Double Trouble.
- 1:00:32SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:00:33SPEAKER_08: And he was doing they were he was doing Voodoo Chow, and he did that thing where he like unhooks his guitar and hooks it back up and plays it behind his back.
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:00:44SPEAKER_08: I forgot how smooth it is.
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah.
- 1:00:46SPEAKER_08: I mean, it's just amazing to watch him do it.
- 1:00:48SPEAKER_08: Because you don't even you don't know what he's doing at first if you haven't seen him before, and you don't know what he's doing.
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_08: It's just it's just seamless though.
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_08: Yeah, because he just unhooks it, hooks it back up, and then he just he he doesn't miss a beat.
- 1:00:58SPEAKER_04: Please tell me that you've seen the one, the clip where he breaks a string.
- 1:01:03SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:01:04SPEAKER_08: Yeah, okay.
- 1:01:04SPEAKER_08: That's famous.
- 1:01:05SPEAKER_08: Because that's incredible.
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_08: That's incredible, yeah.
- 1:01:08SPEAKER_08: And then they showed uh I think they showed like two or three songs from that one.
- 1:01:12SPEAKER_08: And then they fast forwarded to hit the last time they were on Austin City Limits in 1989.
- 1:01:17SPEAKER_08: Okay.
- 1:01:18SPEAKER_08: The difference in the show.
- 1:01:22SPEAKER_03: The show at the In his performance.
- 1:01:24SPEAKER_03: Oh, in his performance.
- 1:01:25SPEAKER_08: Because in '83 he was still new-ish.
- 1:01:29SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 1:01:29SPEAKER_08: So he wasn't really interacting with the crowd, and he was just doing his thing, being as awesome as as always.
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_08: But when he when they showed the 1989 show, he was interacting with the crowd, and you know, the playing was, you know, still phenomenal.
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_08: And plus they had a keyboard player.
- 1:01:47SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 1:01:48SPEAKER_04: Reese Weinans?
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_08: So it was actually pretty cool to see that because I totally forgot about that.
- 1:01:54SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 1:01:54SPEAKER_08: And uh listen.
- 1:01:58SPEAKER_04: I forgot I put some Stevie Ray on for you.
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_08: Oh, I appreciate that, man.
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_08: But I just, you know, it's it's it's a good reminder of what he what he was.
- 1:02:08SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah.
- 1:02:08SPEAKER_08: Not only was he one of the greatest blues artists of his time, but he may be one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
- 1:02:17SPEAKER_08: Also.
- 1:02:17SPEAKER_04: I agree.
- 1:02:18SPEAKER_08: You know, and I don't think he I don't think he gets credit for that.
- 1:02:21SPEAKER_04: Well, you know, anytime other guitar players that are that are like legendary talk about Steve Ray Vaughn, they hold him in the highest regard.
- 1:02:36SPEAKER_08: Oh, yeah.
- 1:02:36SPEAKER_08: I mean, he's yeah.
- 1:02:37SPEAKER_04: Clapton used to say that uh Steve Vere was like, and I'm paraphrasing, it was like an open channel.
- 1:02:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_04: Because he was never out of ideas.
- 1:02:51SPEAKER_04: Clapton said that I can be up on stage and I can be, you know, playing, and I'm always trying to think of what am I gonna do next that's different, you know, and I'm I'm I'm trying to um find my way still uh at my age to this day.
- 1:03:08SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:03:08SPEAKER_04: He said Stevie seemed to be like channeling it from somewhere else.
- 1:03:12SPEAKER_08: Yeah, he never it just never seemed like it was difficult.
- 1:03:15SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:03:16SPEAKER_08: Yeah You know, he it was never like where is it gonna go next?
- 1:03:19SPEAKER_08: He knew, you know, I don't even think he knew where he was going next.
- 1:03:22SPEAKER_08: He just went.
- 1:03:23SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:03:23SPEAKER_08: You know what I mean?
- 1:03:24SPEAKER_08: Yep.
- 1:03:25SPEAKER_08: It was just it, but I mean, you can't you can't watch Stevie and not be like spellbound.
- 1:03:35SPEAKER_08: It's true.
- 1:03:36SPEAKER_08: Whether you're a fan of Yeah, I mean, even if you're not a fan of him.
- 1:03:40SPEAKER_08: Or even of Blues guitar.
- 1:03:41SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 1:03:42SPEAKER_04: You you have to appreciate it.
- 1:03:43SPEAKER_08: You gotta you gotta you can you can't watch him and not go, wow.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_08: You know what I mean?
- 1:03:47SPEAKER_08: Oh yeah.
- 1:03:48SPEAKER_08: So, I mean, it was just it was just, you know, sometimes you need that little reminder that, you know, even all these years later, I mean, he's been gone since 1990.
- 1:03:56SPEAKER_08: Yeah, you know, he is still, I I would still put him up with the greatest.
- 1:04:02SPEAKER_04: That is crazy.
- 1:04:04SPEAKER_04: 1990, 33 years?
- 1:04:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:04:07SPEAKER_04: He's been gone 33 years.
- 1:04:09SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and he's still one of the greatest.
- 1:04:11SPEAKER_08: That's crazy.
- 1:04:12SPEAKER_08: And I don't think I don't think there'll be anybody that'll ever come along and dethrone him.
- 1:04:17SPEAKER_04: You know, it's funny that you say that because there are uh today current guitar players that model their playing after Stevie Ray.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_04: Kenny Wayne Shepard, John Mayer to a certain extent.
- 1:04:28SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 1:04:29SPEAKER_04: Um, and they're great players.
- 1:04:32SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:04:32SPEAKER_04: But it's like Eddie Van Halen.
- 1:04:34SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:04:35SPEAKER_04: When Eddie Van Halen came out, everybody started to tap and started to do all these you know things because of what he was doing.
- 1:04:42SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:04:42SPEAKER_04: And they were all fantastic players.
- 1:04:45SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:04:46SPEAKER_04: But they weren't Eddie.
- 1:04:47SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_04: And and uh John Mayer and Kenny Wayne Shepard, and I'm just using those two as an example, um, they worship Stevie Ray Vaughn.
- 1:04:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:04:56SPEAKER_04: Uh and they play fantastic.
- 1:04:59SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's unreal how good they are.
- 1:05:01SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:05:01SPEAKER_04: But they're not Stevie Ray Vaughn.
- 1:05:02SPEAKER_08: No, then they'll never be.
- 1:05:03SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 1:05:04SPEAKER_08: That's what I'm yeah, that's what you're saying.
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_04: It's it's same thing with Jimi Hendrix.
- 1:05:07SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 1:05:07SPEAKER_04: You know, Jimi Hendrix came along, he was one of a kind.
- 1:05:10SPEAKER_04: Nobody else played like Jimmy Hendrix.
- 1:05:11SPEAKER_08: Well, I just saw um it was a it was a quote from John Lee Hooker, and he said, and he said something I I can't remember it exactly, but he's like, you know, everybody knows Jimi Hendrix as a rock man, but he plays the blues.
- 1:05:26SPEAKER_08: Uh, you know, he he said, I think of him more as a blues guitarist because he plays the blues beautifully.
- 1:05:31SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 1:05:32SPEAKER_08: You know, and that's coming from John Lee Hooker, so that's that's high praise.
- 1:05:35SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 1:05:36SPEAKER_04: You know what I mean?
- 1:05:36SPEAKER_04: So for sure.
- 1:05:37SPEAKER_04: For sure.
- 1:05:38SPEAKER_04: All right, so I'm gonna turn off my Stevie Ray here.
- 1:05:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:05:41SPEAKER_08: I was just I just I was just like, you know, it's the perfect end to a you know a gig night.
- 1:05:45SPEAKER_08: Oh, yeah.
- 1:05:45SPEAKER_08: You know, just watching Stevie Ray.
- 1:05:47SPEAKER_04: You know that's actually the perfect beginning to a gig night, too.
- 1:05:50SPEAKER_08: Well, I too, yeah.
- 1:05:50SPEAKER_04: But you know, anytime I we play, I always try and get inspired, you know, the night before.
- 1:05:55SPEAKER_04: Sometimes I watch Sound City or you know, sometimes I'll just I don't know.
- 1:05:58SPEAKER_08: Well I have the uh fiftieth.
- 1:06:00SPEAKER_08: anniversary of Tower of Power.
- 1:06:02SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 1:06:03SPEAKER_08: And from uh Oakland.
- 1:06:05SPEAKER_08: And it's I watch that man and I get like pumped.
- 1:06:08SPEAKER_08: It's like I want to play it's like well it's like I want to put the horns in front like they do.
- 1:06:13SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:06:13SPEAKER_08: You know, and and the rest of us in the back.
- 1:06:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:06:15SPEAKER_08: Instead of the way we do it.
- 1:06:17SPEAKER_04: Well it was it's funny.
- 1:06:18SPEAKER_04: Uh we've tried we've tried that before a couple well with the with the the saxophones and everything.
- 1:06:22SPEAKER_04: Yeah sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
- 1:06:24SPEAKER_04: But I brought my um so for this gig that we had last weekend, I brought my baffle to put in front of my amp.
- 1:06:30SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 1:06:31SPEAKER_04: And so so what's hard it's so hard because the amp that I brought is the the amp that I use in outdoor shows because it's you know it's only 40 watts?
- 1:06:43SPEAKER_04: Well you would think it was 400 Right.
- 1:06:45SPEAKER_04: It's very powerful.
- 1:06:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:06:46SPEAKER_04: It's a fender uh blues blues deluxe uh and I love it and I love the tone I get from it.
- 1:06:52SPEAKER_04: Um I have this little thing, this attenuator so I can I can turn the volume up really high but I turn the attenuator down so that so it's pushing the tubes but it's not it's hard to explain.
- 1:07:04SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 1:07:04SPEAKER_04: Um but I do have to have it at a certain volume.
- 1:07:07SPEAKER_08: We need Bill Guy Bill Nye the science guy to explain it.
- 1:07:10SPEAKER_04: I do have to have it at a certain volume even especially with the baffle in front of it to be able to hear it because it sits in front of the trumpets.
- 1:07:18SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:07:19SPEAKER_04: Uh and when they're playing I have a hard time hearing my aunt.
- 1:07:22SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:07:23SPEAKER_04: So I had it at a certain volume with the baffle in front of it and we played um I kicked I kicked a pedal on my phase 90 to play Feeling stronger every day by Chicago.
- 1:07:35SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:07:36SPEAKER_04: And there must be a game structure in that pedal or something that made it even louder.
- 1:07:41SPEAKER_04: Um because I finished that song and both the trumpets were like Whoa Brian you gotta Whoa that's that's really pushing it man.
- 1:07:50SPEAKER_04: I was like what?
- 1:07:51SPEAKER_04: Is it really loud?
- 1:07:52SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah it's really loud so because it was the baffle was pushing the sound back onto them.
- 1:07:59SPEAKER_04: Yeah and uh Adam has this thing on his watch that he can take the decibel level.
- 1:08:04SPEAKER_04: It was like 111 dB that's like an airplane I know I know so I said okay well let's just get rid of the baffle so I did I took the baffle down and I turned the amp down a little bit and then I we went into um yellow yellow song.
- 1:08:22SPEAKER_04: And my wife is sitting in the audience and she's covering her ears.
- 1:08:26SPEAKER_04: Yeah I saw I saw her pointing down yeah she's like turn your guitar down and I said I said Jasmine Jasmine's just I I can't do anything.
- 1:08:35SPEAKER_04: So I turned my guitar down a little bit anyway we got it to a point where I think it was okay eventually but uh yeah it was just um yeah it was it was it's hard to Well it's it's live music and it's outside so it's hard to dial it in.
- 1:08:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah it is it is anyway I don't know I digress on that okay so we are doing climbing the wall of tunes because did you forget we were doing that?
- 1:09:00SPEAKER_05: No actually I didn't I was like I know something's next oh yeah well I have picked an album Okay Okay I'm gonna say let the guessing begin.
- 1:09:13SPEAKER_05: Okay?
- 1:09:18SPEAKER_08: It's a band.
- 1:09:19SPEAKER_08: It's a band Hide 90s who do you know late 90s I'm gonna do that.
- 1:09:40SPEAKER_04: It is one of our favorite bands though I think it is one of our favorite bands though I think our favorite band?
- 1:09:47SPEAKER_08: I think so Oh it's gotta be Nickelback then we we love Nickelback.
- 1:09:53SPEAKER_08: Hold on oh no there we go that was all of nickelback fans I don't think actually so it's not nickelback.
- 1:10:10SPEAKER_04: Not nickelback early late 90s early 2000s I think so I have no idea what do you got for hints here oh boy oh it's Diva sorry to play with my new toy um hints uh let's see five piece okay Florida oh Sister Hazel it is Sister Hazel yes so here's the here's the album this one right here Fortress Oh that's a great album it is a great album yeah um let me I should pull them up I haven't pulled them up yet um highly underrated band in my opinion yeah I don't they don't they definitely don't get the credit they deserve they don't get the credit um the one that's let's see this is the biggest hit from this album right here this is Change Your Mind Yep um lots of great songs on this album nice thing I will say about these guys is they're just a cool bunch of guys kind of like Hootie and the bluefish just a cool bunch of guys it's like Hootie with more uh distortion everything yeah pretty much you know another way just and I think better harmonies about today well I think uh Ken Block the lead singer one of the lead singers um has always said that he wanted a band that could play like his folk songs or his acoustic songs but loud oh yeah yeah because they they had an acoustic duo kind of like we do and they wanted a band that could kind of put some power behind it and that's exactly what they did.
- 1:12:05SPEAKER_04: So their their songs are very catchy.
- 1:12:11SPEAKER_04: The harmony is amazing battle with yourself somebody else change your life so when we were first starting our band Comic Crossing we had a lot of Hulie and Blowfish you know influence I mean we were listening to them a lot.
- 1:12:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah but these guys too yeah Jim Blossom Sister Hazel this was uh we did this one I think was it the song that we did we didn't do Champagne we didn't I don't think I don't ever remember doing it.
- 1:12:47SPEAKER_04: Which one did we do that was uh I remember we did it at Dean's a couple times.
- 1:12:54SPEAKER_13: All for you no oh no it wasn't Champaign High it was uh oh Shane Shane's gonna kill me looking for lifetime with you it was a ballad I never thought it would hurt just to hear I'm looking I'm looking at all their albums I do it I do number on myself and all no it was this one did we yeah I don't ever remember doing this left me undone by my own we didn't do it very well I must say must taste maybe maybe I blocked it out stories completed now it's a long way from the pretty sure it was this one I honestly have no recollection of doing this song where will I be when I stop wondering why are now I'm wondering was it this song we have the technology I wonder if uh I'm just gonna text Shane actually I'll text the the thread here let's see right at the time was because I mean he's the guy to ask he he would have sung it I think oh yeah yeah um all right so let's go back to this album um champagne well this this is on this album uh but this is another good one your winter yeah he just said once it deans yeah see it was champagne high I don't rem I don't have any recollection I think we learned it like that night we must have because I I really don't remember doing it so um while we're talking about Sister Hazel I want to point out that this um the guy that doesn't get enough credit in my opinion is Drew um the other the other um singer and the rhythm guitar player oh let's see there's a picture of us learning the harmonies in one of the rooms see if we learned it that night he says he says Ken might have taken the picture I've I really don't remember doing it I have no recollection um I I love Ken Block's voice and maybe we've talked about this before on the podcast I don't know Ken Block is an amazing singer an amazing songwriter but Drew um I can't remember his last name anymore Andrew um I like his voice better well he does some lead stuff right some lead singing yeah yeah like and and most of the songs that he does are the ones I like the best is this is still Ken Block by I like this song rushing it has but you'll hear Drew come in and do harmonies all night don't want to blink your eyes thinking man this is it lasting there he is about to sleep that's Drew can't believe you still want to see that kind of stock you around in your tracks knock you out just like that something you tracks can explain about it that you stopped never yeah so that's from their album Lighter in the dark my favorite Sister Hazel album is one called Heartland Highway.
- 1:17:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah um it's got countryish it's very country yeah uh well I should say it's very country but it does sound yeah you know um like it would fit on country radio yeah but this is one that Drew sings I just dig his voice better I don't know why it's got a better timber to it I think yeah maybe let's play the chorus of this one oh shade is a huge fan of these guys yeah okay so that is the album Sister Hazel Fortress my favorite song on that is uh Out There on that on which album the one we were talking about Fortress on Fortress yeah uh that's my favorite song well let me let me go back to it here because I had gone somewhere else I was gonna talk about something you went out swear it's okay but since we played my favorite songs I think we should play your favorite song so let's see Fortress out there yeah she's out there somewhere somewhere I would give everything too old and to finally have her take me a sunrise from indigo I like that line take from sunrise to indigo it's indeed I think that's cool line I don't know why yeah there's well they're very talented I mean the the whole band uh great songwriters great great musicians yeah no wanna see but if it's um yeah there is anyone for me so now Shane says although now that I think about it we learned it but I don't know if we actually played it we did yeah I remember playing it I don't recall so maybe if you're pre actor I'm gonna say pretty sure pretty sure we did just talk to me um she's out there somewhere somewhere I'll give everything to get you some sister hazel great uh great band highly underrated yeah um still going and still doing awesome I have uh that DVD that concert DVD that they put out yeah um I love those things because they go behind the scenes and you see what what kind of guys they actually are right how much fun they are you know I love those things uh I I discovered something well I I shouldn't say I discovered it because I always knew it was there um but I it was like saying you discovered the moon right there something about we were talking about um uh Paul Gilbert doing the deal album you know he red re did uh uh like an instrumental version of the deal the the deal album I forgot that Paul Gilbert has released a lot of albums not just with Mr.
- 1:20:48SPEAKER_04: Big um but solo a lot of solo albums and I always thought that it was instrumental shredder rock and a lot of it is you know when he was on Shrapnel Records you know uh same as like Minnie Moore and things like that um but I found I I I said I'm gonna get some Paul Gilbert I'm not gonna get the Dio on yet um but I'm gonna get some solo Paul Gilbert because you know I love his playing and it'd be like inspirational sometimes when I'm cleaning I just listen to guitar music so I found back in 2003 the best of Paul Gilbert 2003 and it's called Paul the Young Dude The Best of Paul Gilbert and it's very uh what I want to say um power pop uh I'm gonna play it but he's got such a cool sense of humor um the first uh first track is on the album is called I'm not afraid of the police okay um but you'll notice a lot of Beatles influence too especially in in the vocals and the harmonies not what I was expecting now not very close right uh wait for this album well this is the greatest hits album that came out in 2003 20 years ago wow this one's called my religion rollers and but I didn't expect the big pop hooks you know right I mean that's we're really good man the fact that he's singing is pretty cool right off oh if you don't know who Paul Gilbert is think Mr.
- 1:24:49SPEAKER_04: Big he's the guitar player for Mr.
- 1:24:51SPEAKER_04: Big um a shredder basically um but some of the some of the song titles on his other records um forgive me uh for saying this but the title title uh of the first song on his album I Can Destroy is Everybody Use Your Goddamn Turn Signal Um Woman Too Many I Am Not the One parentheses Who Wants to Be With You Let's see I think there's a cover of Great White Buffalo on that album there was yeah I couldn't decide which album to to buy so I just bought the best of yeah uh this one is called Fuzz Universe um will my screen door stop Neptune Plastic Dracula um let me let me just go back to a little bit because I really dig this album um he also has stuff like this is called G V R O Not really sure what it stands for but it's a minute of classical guitar and then followed by a song called I Like Rock you can hear the keys being pressed I know I kinda wonder if he's just like a mad scientist in his studio I like just but you know just board in his base right now it's fun though uh here's one called let the computer decide I think this is instrumental this is what I was expecting right right from a Paul Gilbert and then further down there's this one seven and almost eight minutes Gilberto Concerto I wonder why he named it that I know what a mystery the last track on this album is called the Second Loudest guitar in the world.
- 1:28:07SPEAKER_08: It's still not something that we would do.
- 1:28:11SPEAKER_08: It's like if Weird Owl could play guitar.
- 1:28:14SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 1:28:15SPEAKER_08: You know what I mean?
- 1:28:18SPEAKER_08: These really sound like Weird Owl originals.
- 1:28:21SPEAKER_08: You know what I mean?
- 1:28:24SPEAKER_03: But it's it's it's power pop music with rocket guitar.
- 1:28:29SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:28:29SPEAKER_07: It's pretty great.
- 1:28:34SPEAKER_04: Same song.
- 1:28:37SPEAKER_08: That's the second loudest guitar in the world, apparently.
- 1:28:42SPEAKER_08: Wonder what the first is.
- 1:28:52SPEAKER_04: Wonder if it goes back into the song.
- 1:28:55SPEAKER_07: It would be hilarious.
- 1:28:56SPEAKER_07: He just he just ended on this solo.
- 1:28:58SPEAKER_07: It would be great.
- 1:29:16SPEAKER_04: Again.
- 1:29:17SPEAKER_04: Amazing guitar player.
- 1:29:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:29:20SPEAKER_04: Okay, I'm gonna skip ahead.
- 1:29:22SPEAKER_04: He's still going.
- 1:29:28SPEAKER_07: I don't think he's going back into the song.
- 1:29:34SPEAKER_19: You're right.
- 1:29:36SPEAKER_19: Well there he goes.
- 1:29:40SPEAKER_04: I want to hear how he gets into it.
- 1:29:41SPEAKER_04: Listen.
- 1:29:55SPEAKER_04: So that was 30 seconds.
- 1:29:57SPEAKER_04: The first part of the song is 30 seconds, and then he plays two and a half minutes of just just screaming lead guitar.
- 1:30:05SPEAKER_04: I love this album.
- 1:30:06SPEAKER_04: I really, really do.
- 1:30:08SPEAKER_04: Best of Paul Gilbert.
- 1:30:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's it's called uh Paul the Young Dude, uh, which is a takeoff of All the Young Dudes by Motley uh Motley Martin.
- 1:30:15SPEAKER_08: I thought you said it was the best of Paul.
- 1:30:17SPEAKER_04: It is Paul the Young Dude slash the best of Paul.
- 1:30:20SPEAKER_08: Oh, okay, gotcha.
- 1:30:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:30:21SPEAKER_04: Uh I'm not afraid of the police.
- 1:30:22SPEAKER_04: He does a cover.
- 1:30:23SPEAKER_04: Here's a cover.
- 1:30:40SPEAKER_04: And then we heard My Religion.
- 1:30:42SPEAKER_04: Song called Down to Mexico.
- 1:30:44SPEAKER_04: Super loud, individually twisted, Kate is a star.
- 1:30:48SPEAKER_04: Um, G V R O I Like Rock, let the computer decide, girl crazy, girl who can read your mind, girls watching, Million Dollar Smile Live, Carnival No.
- 1:30:58SPEAKER_04: 9, which is Emerson Lake and Palmer.
- 1:31:00SPEAKER_04: Uh, that's another cover, that's live.
- 1:31:02SPEAKER_04: Gilberto Concerto and the second loudest guitar in the world.
- 1:31:04SPEAKER_04: 16 uh 17 tracks.
- 1:31:07SPEAKER_04: Um again, 2003, 20 years ago.
- 1:31:10SPEAKER_08: How have we never heard of this?
- 1:31:12SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 1:31:12SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 1:31:14SPEAKER_04: But I'm going to lose a lot of money because I'm gonna be buying all about a ton of records out, man.
- 1:31:20SPEAKER_04: He uh Fuzz uh Fuzz Universe, um I Can Destroy, Since A Silence followed by a deafening roar, jackhammer, stone pushing uphill man, man pushing stone uphill.
- 1:31:36SPEAKER_07: Yeah, well, I think that's uh Greek Greek mythology.
- 1:31:39SPEAKER_04: It is, it is, yeah.
- 1:31:40SPEAKER_04: Um Alligator Farm Flying Dog.
- 1:31:45SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 1:31:46SPEAKER_19: These are all names of his albums.
- 1:31:48SPEAKER_04: Uh Spaceship One Um, anyway.
- 1:31:53SPEAKER_04: Uh if you like this kind of music, this I would call this Shredder guitar.
- 1:31:58SPEAKER_04: You know, uh, but but this particular.
- 1:32:00SPEAKER_04: I would call it bored shredder guitar.
- 1:32:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah, because I was gonna say, this particular collection is just Yeah, he's just like, I'm bored, I'm gonna make a song.
- 1:32:09SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:32:09SPEAKER_04: Because he doesn't usually sing, I don't think.
- 1:32:11SPEAKER_08: Yeah, I don't think so either.
- 1:32:14SPEAKER_04: It makes me wonder, I don't think he sang on the Dio album, right?
- 1:32:17SPEAKER_04: I don't think so.
- 1:32:18SPEAKER_04: No, I think he probably just played the lead parts.
- 1:32:20SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
- 1:32:22SPEAKER_04: Anyway, that's Paul Gilbert from uh from Mr.

- 1:33:42SPEAKER_04: Although only half kidding because I don't know I don't really like it.
- 1:33:45SPEAKER_04: There's a tangent, there's a threat of truth in there.
- 1:33:47SPEAKER_04: There is.
- 1:33:48SPEAKER_04: And you know it's more about it's it's it's not me anymore.
- 1:33:53SPEAKER_04: I mean it is.

- 1:34:06SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:34:06SPEAKER_04: You know.
