- 0:18SPEAKER_01: From the Mob Rules release,
- 0:21SPEAKER_01: that of course is Black Sabbath with the Sign of
- 0:24SPEAKER_01: the Southern Cross featuring Ronnie James Dio on lead vocal.
- 0:28SPEAKER_01: That one going out by request to my nephew James.
- 0:32SPEAKER_01: A couple Whitesnake tunes in there.
- 0:35SPEAKER_01: Some early Whitesnake with Steal Away for Hardy Boy.
- 0:38SPEAKER_01: Also Whitesnake from the Slide It In release with Love Ain't No Stranger for Jackal.
- 0:46SPEAKER_01: Wait a minute.
- 0:46SPEAKER_03: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 0:48SPEAKER_03: Jack will pick something as modern as the mid-80s?
- 0:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah, believe it or not.
- 0:53SPEAKER_03: That can't be right.
- 0:54SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 0:56SPEAKER_01: Must have a younger cousin or something.
- 0:57SPEAKER_01: He fell through a time warp.
- 1:01SPEAKER_03: He escaped that 70s vortex he lives in for a minute.
- 1:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:08SPEAKER_01: It was in one of the episodes of Stranger Things.
- 1:11SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, it must have been.
- 1:12SPEAKER_03: That must be it.
- 1:13SPEAKER_01: He was in The Upside Down.
- 1:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:19SPEAKER_01: Rush in there with Bastille Day for John Phillips.
- 1:22SPEAKER_01: Montrose with Space Station No.
- 1:25SPEAKER_01: 5 for Roger.
- 1:25SPEAKER_01: And, of course,
- 1:26SPEAKER_01: kicking off that block was something for Chris, Audrey Horn with Goddamn Beautiful.
- 1:31SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
- 1:32SPEAKER_01: So kind of a rock block of classic-sounding tunes, including that Audrey Horn.
- 1:40SPEAKER_03: I love that, man.
- 1:42SPEAKER_03: And it's weird because the guy that I talked to,
- 1:45SPEAKER_03: Arve, Arve Dale, He's also the guitar player for the band Enslaved.
- 1:52SPEAKER_03: So he goes from this brutal heavy band to that.
- 1:57SPEAKER_03: And that band is apparently popular as shit in Europe.
- 2:00SPEAKER_03: That Audrey Horn, I guess they're a headlining act in Europe.
- 2:05SPEAKER_03: And they toured with ACDC and Motley Crue.
- 2:08SPEAKER_03: And I guess they're a big band.
- 2:10SPEAKER_03: But here in the States, they can't give anything away.
- 2:14SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 2:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 2:15SPEAKER_03: I like that.
- 2:15SPEAKER_03: I just like that.
- 2:16SPEAKER_01: It's kind of like Kurt Vanderhoof doing his Metal Church and then doing his Presto Ballet.
- 2:21SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 2:21SPEAKER_03: Exactly right.
- 2:24SPEAKER_03: Same exact thing.
- 2:27SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 2:27SPEAKER_01: Well, we are into the second segment of the Classic Metal Show.
- 2:31SPEAKER_01: So what do you have, Chris?
- 2:33SPEAKER_01: I've got plenty, oh, plenty.
- 2:35SPEAKER_03: I'm going to start out with answering a question that you and I asked,
- 2:41SPEAKER_03: I don't know, a month or two ago.
- 2:44SPEAKER_03: Do you remember,
- 2:45SPEAKER_03: it might even have been longer,
- 2:46SPEAKER_03: I don't remember when this was,
- 2:47SPEAKER_03: but it was,
- 2:48SPEAKER_03: remember we were playing the video of Steelheart and Jeff,
- 2:54SPEAKER_03: of Mealy Medejevic and Jeff Keith doing the Foghat cover?
- 3:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 3:01SPEAKER_03: And you remember how we were,
- 3:04SPEAKER_03: as we were talking through it,
- 3:05SPEAKER_03: we were like, what the hell would make these guys do this?
- 3:09SPEAKER_03: Do you remember that?
- 3:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, you know,
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: we often question just odd pairings like that and odd choices of, you know, tunes.
- 3:18SPEAKER_01: It's just like, so what prompted this?
- 3:23SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 3:24SPEAKER_03: So I talked with Mealy this week about,
- 3:29SPEAKER_03: he's promoting that Bad Finger cover that we played,
- 3:32SPEAKER_03: what, last two weeks ago or whatever?
- 3:33SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
- 3:34SPEAKER_03: And I talked to him about that,
- 3:36SPEAKER_03: but then I was like,
- 3:37SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 3:38SPEAKER_03: let me ask you about this and that and, you know, a couple of other things.
- 3:41SPEAKER_03: And I asked him specifically about that.
- 3:44SPEAKER_03: So I put the clip together.
- 3:45SPEAKER_03: Let me put it on the screen here.
- 3:48SPEAKER_03: So here is Mili Medejevic of Steelheart explaining how he hooked up with Jeff Keith.
- 3:56SPEAKER_03: And why they did this Foghat cover.
- 3:58SPEAKER_03: Because now we have an answer, at least.
- 4:00SPEAKER_03: It's always good if I...
- 4:01SPEAKER_03: I try real hard when I have guys like this that I've interviewed a bunch of times,
- 4:06SPEAKER_03: if we've talked about them,
- 4:08SPEAKER_03: to kind of remember what we talked about a little bit so
- 4:10SPEAKER_03: that we can get some questions answered.
- 4:12SPEAKER_03: We want answers, goddammit.
- 4:14SPEAKER_03: Well, we do talk about these bands,
- 4:16SPEAKER_03: so we might as well...
- 4:17SPEAKER_03: You know, I got them on the phone or on the screen or whatever.
- 4:20SPEAKER_03: I might as well ask them, right?
- 4:22SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
- 4:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 4:23SPEAKER_03: So here's Melee from Steelheart talking about how the, what's the song?
- 4:30SPEAKER_03: I just can't, what is the song?
- 4:34SPEAKER_03: I just want to make love to you.
- 4:35SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 4:37SPEAKER_03: I asked him about doing that Foghat song with Jeff Keith and here's the answer.
- 4:44SPEAKER_03: Start with the fog hat song that you did with with Jeff Keith.
- 4:48SPEAKER_03: I mean, how did that come together?
- 4:50SPEAKER_03: And I'm imagining,
- 4:51SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 4:52SPEAKER_03: Keith from Jeff from down the road,
- 4:54SPEAKER_03: but how did you end up bringing him in into work with you?
- 4:58SPEAKER_02: You know, so I met Jeff on the Monsters of Rock like five years ago.
- 5:05SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 5:07SPEAKER_02: And as soon as we met, we just connected.
- 5:10SPEAKER_02: It was like, we're done.
- 5:11SPEAKER_02: We're brothers.
- 5:12SPEAKER_02: It's over.
- 5:13SPEAKER_02: It's like a lifetime thing, you know?
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: And so we hung out quite a bit and then we kept in touch.
- 5:20SPEAKER_02: And then I was doing the Monsters of Rock.
- 5:23SPEAKER_02: I was doing an acoustic set.
- 5:25SPEAKER_02: It was the last year.
- 5:27SPEAKER_02: Last year, at the end of the year?
- 5:28SPEAKER_02: I can't remember anymore.
- 5:30SPEAKER_02: But anyways, recently.
- 5:33SPEAKER_02: He was on it as well.
- 5:35SPEAKER_02: And as soon as I saw him, I said, Jeff, listen, man, why don't we do a song together?
- 5:39SPEAKER_02: Like two bros having a blast, two guys going in there rock and roll.
- 5:44SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 5:46SPEAKER_02: A duet.
- 5:47SPEAKER_02: And he goes, I like it, Milly.
- 5:49SPEAKER_02: Let's do it.
- 5:50SPEAKER_02: Let's do it.
- 5:50SPEAKER_02: What do you want to do?
- 5:51SPEAKER_02: What song do you want to do?
- 5:52SPEAKER_02: I said, let's do a Foghat song.
- 5:53SPEAKER_02: It was like, great.
- 5:55SPEAKER_02: So I'm doing an acoustic set.
- 5:56SPEAKER_02: On the boat.
- 5:57SPEAKER_02: They had an off night.
- 5:59SPEAKER_02: And what does he do?
- 6:01SPEAKER_02: He jumps up on stage.
- 6:02SPEAKER_02: And he just starts singing, you know, I don't want to be no slave.
- 6:06SPEAKER_02: You know, I start singing that.
- 6:08SPEAKER_02: And then I sang a little bit.
- 6:09SPEAKER_02: And I was like, there it is.
- 6:10SPEAKER_02: Everybody's our witness.
- 6:12SPEAKER_02: We're doing that song.
- 6:13SPEAKER_02: Nice.
- 6:14SPEAKER_02: So I tell him, listen, I'll get it together.
- 6:18SPEAKER_02: Let me produce it.
- 6:19SPEAKER_02: I'll get it going.
- 6:20SPEAKER_02: And I'll call you when I'm ready.
- 6:22SPEAKER_02: So I call him.
- 6:24SPEAKER_02: Maybe a couple of weeks after the boat, Monsters of the Rock cruise.
- 6:31SPEAKER_02: And I said, so I called him on a Sunday.
- 6:33SPEAKER_02: And I only had the drums and the guitars on.
- 6:36SPEAKER_02: Like rough, these were just, the drums were done, but the guitars were rough.
- 6:40SPEAKER_02: You know, just to get, see how the vibe is gonna go.
- 6:42SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 6:43SPEAKER_02: I call him and say, hey Jeff, when can you come down?
- 6:46SPEAKER_02: I'm thinking maybe a couple of weeks or whatever, you know, get myself prepared.
- 6:50SPEAKER_02: He goes, I'll be there Wednesday.
- 6:54SPEAKER_02: So, but I'm smart enough not to say no.
- 6:59SPEAKER_03: Right,
- 6:59SPEAKER_02: right, right.
- 7:00SPEAKER_02: You don't want to, you know what I mean?
- 7:01SPEAKER_02: That could be like, you say, you know how that works.
- 7:05SPEAKER_02: Two years go by.
- 7:07SPEAKER_02: So I was like, fine.
- 7:09SPEAKER_02: Pick them up Wednesday.
- 7:10SPEAKER_02: We came in my studio here and we sang and sang and sang and sang.
- 7:16SPEAKER_02: I got to tell you, we were done the first day.
- 7:18SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 7:19SPEAKER_02: But kept singing.
- 7:20SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 7:21SPEAKER_02: We're just enjoying ourselves.
- 7:24SPEAKER_02: And Jeff just loves to sing and just keeps going.
- 7:27SPEAKER_02: I go, Millie, let me do another take.
- 7:28SPEAKER_02: I want to do another take.
- 7:29SPEAKER_02: I go, Jeff, we got 15 of them we got to choose from.
- 7:32SPEAKER_02: They're all good.
- 7:32SPEAKER_02: Which one do you want to do?
- 7:33SPEAKER_02: He goes, no, I can do it better.
- 7:35SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, fuck.
- 7:37SPEAKER_02: There's that short one.
- 7:38SPEAKER_03: There it is.
- 7:43SPEAKER_02: But I will say this.
- 7:45SPEAKER_02: He stayed with me.
- 7:46SPEAKER_02: And we did nothing but laugh.
- 7:49SPEAKER_02: That was a lot of fun.
- 7:52SPEAKER_02: And we recorded it, came out.
- 7:56SPEAKER_02: I really enjoyed it.
- 7:57SPEAKER_02: I really think we did a good job.
- 8:00SPEAKER_02: And then he came back out.
- 8:01SPEAKER_02: We did a photo shoot.
- 8:03SPEAKER_02: And during the photo shoot, I was like, you know what?
- 8:06SPEAKER_02: We should shoot a video.
- 8:08SPEAKER_02: So I told the photographer,
- 8:09SPEAKER_02: why don't you just turn on that thing into a video camera now
- 8:13SPEAKER_02: and let's just shoot it.
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: So, you know, good camera.
- 8:17SPEAKER_03: So there you go.
- 8:18SPEAKER_03: That's basically it.
- 8:19SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 8:21SPEAKER_03: But there's our answer.
- 8:24SPEAKER_03: So apparently they met on the Rock Monsters of Rock Cruise.
- 8:29SPEAKER_03: Hello, friends.
- 8:30SPEAKER_03: Hello, friend.
- 8:33SPEAKER_01: Well, you know,
- 8:34SPEAKER_01: those kind of things,
- 8:35SPEAKER_01: just to use a term that Chris Bacon used to use quite a bit,
- 8:41SPEAKER_01: those things come together organically.
- 8:43SPEAKER_01: They do.
- 8:45SPEAKER_01: And that apparently was one of the times that you just sort of have a kindred spirit
- 8:51SPEAKER_01: when you meet somebody.
- 8:52SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 8:53SPEAKER_01: Kind of like you and I did when we first got together on the mic for the first time.
- 8:58SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 9:01SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 9:01SPEAKER_01: we tell the story in the book,
- 9:04SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 9:04SPEAKER_01: our version of it when Chris and I first got on the mic together for the first time.
- 9:10SPEAKER_01: And it just clicked.
- 9:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was pretty immediate.
- 9:15SPEAKER_01: It was immediate, and it just worked.
- 9:18SPEAKER_01: And, you know, here it is 30 years later, and it still works as far as I'm concerned.
- 9:24SPEAKER_01: But anyway,
- 9:25SPEAKER_01: getting back to Jeff Keith and Mr.
- 9:28SPEAKER_01: Menagevic there,
- 9:31SPEAKER_01: you know, they obviously had that chemistry, that thing that worked.
- 9:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 9:38SPEAKER_01: When you get along with somebody,
- 9:40SPEAKER_01: especially musically,
- 9:42SPEAKER_01: these musicians have a kinship in the fact that this is their livelihood.
- 9:50SPEAKER_01: This is all they know.
- 9:51SPEAKER_01: This is what they've done.
- 9:53SPEAKER_01: They just have an appreciation for each other's talents and abilities.
- 9:59SPEAKER_01: And obviously, Mike, you know, I'm just not used to calling a melee.
- 10:05SPEAKER_03: I know.
- 10:06SPEAKER_03: Dude, let me find this room.
- 10:07SPEAKER_01: He's Mike Menagevic as far as I'm concerned.
- 10:10SPEAKER_01: Me too.
- 10:11SPEAKER_01: And I saw your little post that you've never been a Steelheart fan.
- 10:15SPEAKER_01: I really never was.
- 10:16SPEAKER_01: I've been a Steelheart fan since I first heard him, you know.
- 10:20SPEAKER_01: But regardless of that, I met Mike almost two years ago.
- 10:26SPEAKER_03: Let's Malenko, please.
- 10:28SPEAKER_01: Yes.

- 11:02SPEAKER_01: I met him.
- 11:04SPEAKER_01: He was opening for Warrant, Dockin, and April Wine.
- 11:09SPEAKER_01: And I met him backstage and chit-chatted up with him for a few minutes.
- 11:13SPEAKER_01: But getting back to his story, though,
- 11:17SPEAKER_01: it's just cool that these guys have the ability to,
- 11:20SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 11:21SPEAKER_01: just get together and just hang out and do something that they love together.
- 11:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 11:26SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 11:26SPEAKER_03: You know, he's a he's the coolest guy.
- 11:30SPEAKER_03: He's one of the coolest guys that I interview and I'll interview him.
- 11:34SPEAKER_03: I told him after the interview, we're talking a little bit.
- 11:36SPEAKER_03: He has a new project getting ready to come out with Nicholas from In Flames.
- 11:41SPEAKER_03: It's going to be just like he said, it sounds like In Flames with him singing over it.
- 11:45SPEAKER_03: I'm like, oh, my God, take my money.
- 11:49SPEAKER_03: I'm all about that.
- 11:50SPEAKER_03: But yeah, he's just one of the good ones.
- 11:54SPEAKER_03: And I could see Jeff Keith,
- 11:57SPEAKER_03: who's another one of the good ones,
- 11:58SPEAKER_03: I could see those two just getting together and be like, yeah, this is fun.
- 12:01SPEAKER_03: Fuck yeah, let's do it.
- 12:03SPEAKER_03: Dude, I'm going to share one more thing that I should have actually edited this out.
- 12:07SPEAKER_03: It's so bad.
- 12:09SPEAKER_03: You know as well as I do, man.
- 12:11SPEAKER_03: Every once in a while, you come across a name or something that you just can't say.
- 12:17SPEAKER_03: And his is that name that I always fuck up.
- 12:21SPEAKER_03: And I fucked his name up so bad in this interview.
- 12:27SPEAKER_03: And he rolled with it, so I rolled with it.
- 12:31SPEAKER_03: But this is one of the all-time butcherings from me.
- 12:36SPEAKER_03: And you know me, I don't give a shit if people say it or not.
- 12:39SPEAKER_03: So check out his name.
- 12:42SPEAKER_03: Well, here, I'll play the ID first.
- 12:46SPEAKER_03: I'll back it all the way up so you can hear the ID.
- 12:50SPEAKER_03: And then I'll play the ID.
- 12:54SPEAKER_03: Let me put it on the screen.
- 12:55SPEAKER_03: And then I'll play the intro where you can hear me doing his name,
- 13:00SPEAKER_03: which is two very different things.
- 13:04SPEAKER_03: Check this out.
- 13:07SPEAKER_02: Hey, everybody out there, this is Millie from Steelheart.
- 13:10SPEAKER_02: You are watching CMS-TV.
- 13:13SPEAKER_03: Oh, he didn't do it.
- 13:15SPEAKER_03: Well, it's like Milyenko...
- 13:19SPEAKER_03: Metavetic or something like that.
- 13:21SPEAKER_03: I just fucked it completely.
- 13:24SPEAKER_03: I mean completely.
- 13:25SPEAKER_03: Check this out.
- 13:27SPEAKER_03: Today on the show,
- 13:28SPEAKER_03: we are having a returning guest,
- 13:31SPEAKER_03: one of my favorite guys in all of the business, whose voice is beyond extraordinary.
- 13:37SPEAKER_03: And he is back with a very, very, very tough song to sing.
- 13:41SPEAKER_03: You know, just me as a lousy karaoke singer, I would never attempt this song.
- 13:46SPEAKER_03: Way too much for me, but when you've got a four octave range, I guess nothing is scary.
- 13:51SPEAKER_03: He's of course promoting the cover of Bad Fingers Without You.
- 13:56SPEAKER_03: And we'll talk about other things as well.
- 13:58SPEAKER_03: He is the lead vocalist of Steelheart.
- 14:00SPEAKER_03: He is Miljanko Medvedic.
- 14:03SPEAKER_03: Mealy, how are you, man?
- 14:04SPEAKER_02: I'm doing well.
- 14:05SPEAKER_02: Thank you so much.
- 14:06SPEAKER_03: I just swung and missed.
- 14:08SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you just glossed right over it.
- 14:10SPEAKER_03: I'm just like, there you is.
- 14:16SPEAKER_03: That is one of the worst fuck-ups I've ever had.
- 14:19SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's not an easy name to pronounce.
- 14:21SPEAKER_01: It's not.
- 14:23SPEAKER_03: No, it's not.
- 14:24SPEAKER_03: But man, that is brutal.
- 14:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's Mike Medejevic.
- 14:30SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I know.
- 14:31SPEAKER_03: Let's go back to that.
- 14:33SPEAKER_03: Let's just go back to that.
- 14:34SPEAKER_03: And boy, let me just back that up a little bit.
- 14:37SPEAKER_03: I got to play it one more time.
- 14:38SPEAKER_03: I just butcher it so bad.
- 14:40SPEAKER_03: I literally,
- 14:41SPEAKER_03: you can hear me just trying to just mumble it so
- 14:45SPEAKER_03: that he can't hear how I'm fucking up his name.
- 14:49SPEAKER_03: He's, of course,
- 14:50SPEAKER_03: promoting the cover of Bad Fingers Without You,
- 14:54SPEAKER_03: and we'll talk about other things as well.
- 14:56SPEAKER_03: He is the lead vocalist of Steelheart.
- 14:58SPEAKER_03: He is Miljanko Medvedic.
- 15:01SPEAKER_03: Mili, how
- 15:01SPEAKER_01: are you?
- 15:02SPEAKER_01: Miljanko.
- 15:03SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's not as bad as you think it sounds.
- 15:06SPEAKER_01: I hate it.
- 15:06SPEAKER_01: I'm just like, man.
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure, but I mean...
- 15:09SPEAKER_01: Just the average listener.
- 15:12SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they won't know.
- 15:13SPEAKER_01: They won't know.
- 15:14SPEAKER_01: I mean, but you're really putting a spotlight on it,
- 15:17SPEAKER_01: and it's really not as bad as you think it is.
- 15:21SPEAKER_03: But still, I just knew.
- 15:23SPEAKER_03: I knew when I did it, it was fucked up.
- 15:26SPEAKER_03: You can see, look at the look on my face.
- 15:27SPEAKER_03: I'm like, oh, my God.
- 15:29SPEAKER_01: This is one of those things that you hear, and it's 10 times worse in your own head.
- 15:37SPEAKER_01: Then, you know, the average person who's just listening to the interview.
- 15:41SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: Wouldn't even think two seconds about it.
- 15:46SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 15:47SPEAKER_03: Skippy in the chat room.
- 15:48SPEAKER_01: Eh, close enough, Chris.
- 15:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- 15:51SPEAKER_01: It's like nobody would even think that you fucked it up.
- 15:54SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 15:55SPEAKER_03: I did.
- 15:56SPEAKER_03: I was like, ugh.
- 15:58SPEAKER_03: But the worst part is I fucked it up every time I've done...
- 16:02SPEAKER_03: The last time I was even...
- 16:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 16:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 16:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 16:25SPEAKER_03: And it's like you take a shot or you just say,
- 16:29SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 16:30SPEAKER_03: when we're reading a story, we can go, you know, it's Muhammad blah, blah, blah.
- 16:35SPEAKER_03: Or some name I can't pronounce.
- 16:37SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you just say it.
- 16:38SPEAKER_03: I can't say that to him.
- 16:39SPEAKER_03: I can't be like, well, here's the guy from Steelheart.
- 16:43SPEAKER_03: How you doing, bro?
- 16:44SPEAKER_03: You know, I can't do that either.
- 16:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 16:47SPEAKER_03: So I took a swing and I felt like I missed.
- 16:49SPEAKER_03: Maybe it's a foul ball instead of a pure miss, but it wasn't real pleasant.
- 16:55SPEAKER_03: I was not happy with myself, but I think you're probably right.
- 17:01SPEAKER_03: I'm probably making more out of it than it is, but whatever.
- 17:04SPEAKER_03: You want to be good with this shit.
- 17:06SPEAKER_01: Of course you do, and especially when you're face-to-face with the guy.
- 17:11SPEAKER_03: Especially when you like the guy.
- 17:12SPEAKER_01: And you don't want to flub up their name.
- 17:14SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 17:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 17:16SPEAKER_03: That's, that's, I was just waiting for him to, to be like, dude, seriously.
- 17:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 17:22SPEAKER_01: He's a, he's a small guy too.
- 17:24SPEAKER_01: Is he?
- 17:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 17:25SPEAKER_01: He, you know, very, very slight of frame, just kind of a smaller guy, you know, but very nice.
- 17:31SPEAKER_01: Like I said, I,
- 17:32SPEAKER_01: I chatted it up with him for a little bit,
- 17:34SPEAKER_01: you know, and, uh,
- 17:37SPEAKER_01: first time I ever met him,
- 17:38SPEAKER_01: first time I actually saw a steel heart perform, you know, so it was, it was good.
- 17:43SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 17:44SPEAKER_01: I don't know how I miss Steelheart, but I just kind of did.
- 17:46SPEAKER_01: Wow, that was when you were in Korea.
- 17:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's probably it.
- 17:50SPEAKER_03: But he's huge in Asia.
- 17:53SPEAKER_03: Surprising that I wouldn't have seen him there.
- 17:55SPEAKER_03: But I don't know.
- 17:57SPEAKER_03: You know what?
- 17:58SPEAKER_03: Who knows?
- 17:59SPEAKER_03: There was a lot of those bands that I didn't really listen to much.
- 18:02SPEAKER_03: You know, the Firehouse and Steelheart and whatever.
- 18:06SPEAKER_03: But I like Steelheart now.
- 18:07SPEAKER_03: I listen to them actually...
- 18:10SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 18:11SPEAKER_03: I've really toned down on a lot of the bands that everybody listens to over and
- 18:14SPEAKER_03: over, like Motley Crue or Poison or Warrant or any of that stuff.
- 18:18SPEAKER_03: And when I go to, like,
- 18:20SPEAKER_03: hair metal mode,
- 18:21SPEAKER_03: it's always like Firehouse or Steelheart or these bands that I didn't burn out on.
- 18:27SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 18:27SPEAKER_03: and Steelheart's one of those I'm like,
- 18:29SPEAKER_03: God damn it,
- 18:30SPEAKER_03: I wish I would have been listening to that in the 90s because that was pretty good.
- 18:33SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 18:34SPEAKER_03: So...
- 18:35SPEAKER_03: But instead I moved over to Cannibal Corpse and other pleasant sounding tunes like that.
- 18:40SPEAKER_01: Well, that was just to numb your anger.
- 18:45SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 18:46SPEAKER_01: Or stoke your anger, one or the other.
- 18:48SPEAKER_03: Match it.
- 18:51SPEAKER_01: I want to kill your mother.
- 18:52SPEAKER_01: I need her fucking heart.
- 18:54SPEAKER_01: I need something to level me out.
- 18:56SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 19:01SPEAKER_03: All right, let's move forward.
- 19:02SPEAKER_03: I know that's just a little quick one.
- 19:04SPEAKER_03: Well, I got one more quick one for you.
- 19:07SPEAKER_03: Friend of the show,
- 19:08SPEAKER_03: friend of yours,
- 19:09SPEAKER_03: friend of mine,
- 19:10SPEAKER_03: Stephen Piercy,
- 19:12SPEAKER_03: released a trailer or a teaser for a new single off of The Dog Mob called,
- 19:21SPEAKER_03: I forget what it's called.
- 19:25SPEAKER_03: It is called All Night Long.
- 19:30SPEAKER_03: Let me share this.
- 19:32SPEAKER_03: Let me pop this up.
- 19:34SPEAKER_03: And here it is.
- 19:36SPEAKER_03: Already playing, I guess.
- 19:39SPEAKER_03: Let's kick it back to the beginning here.
- 19:41SPEAKER_03: So here it is.
- 19:42SPEAKER_03: Steven Piercy with whatever this is.
- 19:50SPEAKER_03: Here we go.
- 19:55SPEAKER_03: Where's the song?
- 20:01SPEAKER_00: All night.
- 20:40SPEAKER_03: So there you go, a little taste.
- 20:41SPEAKER_03: Oh, God, that's great.
- 20:42SPEAKER_03: Thank you, Stephen.
- 20:46SPEAKER_03: This thing, what is it doing?
- 20:50SPEAKER_03: Well, I like the snippet.
- 20:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah, sounds good.
- 20:54SPEAKER_03: Good high energy.
- 20:56SPEAKER_03: I'm assuming that means we're going to get the full song this week, I would think.
- 21:00SPEAKER_03: So...
- 21:02SPEAKER_03: So yeah, so Steven's getting ready to release the dog mob at some point here.
- 21:07SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 21:08SPEAKER_03: I guess at that point we'll probably have to have Steven or Eric or both on
- 21:11SPEAKER_03: the show, don't you think?
- 21:12SPEAKER_01: Of course.
- 21:15SPEAKER_01: Of course.
- 21:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 21:16SPEAKER_01: When I saw Steven, what,
- 21:18SPEAKER_01: a few weeks ago and sat there in his dressing room shooting the shit with him for
- 21:23SPEAKER_01: a few minutes.
- 21:24SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 21:26SPEAKER_01: He's Steven.
- 21:27SPEAKER_01: Steven's a character, man.
- 21:29SPEAKER_01: He's just funny.
- 21:29SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 21:30SPEAKER_01: He is a funny guy.
- 21:31SPEAKER_01: He always makes me laugh.
- 21:32SPEAKER_01: He's just funny.
- 21:35SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 21:36SPEAKER_01: when their road manager took me to his dressing room first,
- 21:41SPEAKER_01: and I went in and hung out with him for a few minutes and shot the shit.
- 21:45SPEAKER_01: And then went over and hung out with Eric and met Joel Holkstra and chatted it up
- 21:51SPEAKER_01: with Blas Elias.
- 21:52SPEAKER_01: And, you know,
- 21:54SPEAKER_01: we were doing almost the same thing we did in the first hour here,
- 21:57SPEAKER_01: talking about health.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: Supplements and dietary and workouts.
- 22:04SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 22:05SPEAKER_01: Because we're all in the same age group.
- 22:08SPEAKER_01: Eric being a little bit younger.
- 22:09SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 22:10SPEAKER_01: But he suffered a heart attack.
- 22:12SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 22:13SPEAKER_01: So he's got to be on his game, taking care of himself and so on and so forth.
- 22:20SPEAKER_01: But then we were sitting in the, I guess you would call it the catering room.
- 22:27SPEAKER_01: And we were just sitting at the table,
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: just, you know, Eating a few things that they had on the cater.
- 22:32SPEAKER_01: And Steven just comes in and he starts picking through everything on there.
- 22:37SPEAKER_01: And he just starts grabbing up stuff because he's like, I'm ready to go back to the hotel.
- 22:42SPEAKER_01: So I'm taking this, this, this, and this.
- 22:46SPEAKER_01: That's funny.
- 22:49SPEAKER_01: We might as well.
- 22:50SPEAKER_01: It's his tray.
- 22:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know.
- 22:51SPEAKER_01: But it's just kind of funny, though.
- 22:53SPEAKER_01: He was just, you know, I'm not sticking around, but I'm taking this shit to go.
- 23:00SPEAKER_03: What's funny is he probably eats like two carrots a day.
- 23:02SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I know.
- 23:03SPEAKER_03: I mean, you see how skinny he is.
- 23:04SPEAKER_03: He's so small.
- 23:06SPEAKER_01: I know, for 69 years old, 70 years old.
- 23:08SPEAKER_03: 70-something, yeah.
- 23:10SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he's starting to get old-looking a little bit.
- 23:15SPEAKER_03: He's definitely starting to look his age a little bit.
- 23:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's looking a little leathery.
- 23:20SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, whatever.
- 23:22SPEAKER_03: He's been doing it, what, 50 fucking years or something.
- 23:24SPEAKER_03: So I guess he can adopt that look, I guess, so.
- 23:29SPEAKER_01: It's just kind of funny that he,
- 23:32SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 23:33SPEAKER_01: from being,
- 23:35SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 23:35SPEAKER_01: I'm sure the party days of Rat to,
- 23:38SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 23:39SPEAKER_01: during his solo days and arcade and doing his own solo shows and,
- 23:44SPEAKER_01: you know, getting back with Rat and stuff.
- 23:46SPEAKER_01: But, you know,
- 23:47SPEAKER_01: he gradually went from,
- 23:49SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 23:49SPEAKER_01: the partying,
- 23:50SPEAKER_01: drinking,
- 23:51SPEAKER_01: potentially drugging down to,
- 23:55SPEAKER_01: No drinking, no drugging, no partying, you know, dealing with a cancer scare.
- 24:02SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 24:03SPEAKER_01: Down to just smoking a cigarette, down to nothing.
- 24:06SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 24:07SPEAKER_01: You know, so he's like doing nothing because just a few years ago, what was it?
- 24:16SPEAKER_01: Well, when Smash came out, that was like, what, 17, I think?
- 24:21SPEAKER_01: I think so, yeah.
- 24:22SPEAKER_01: 2017.
- 24:23SPEAKER_01: So it's almost been 10 years already.
- 24:25SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 24:26SPEAKER_01: But he was smoking a cigarette and he goes, this is the only thing I've got.
- 24:32SPEAKER_01: And I don't even think he smokes now anymore.
- 24:35SPEAKER_01: Oh, really?
- 24:36SPEAKER_01: No.
- 24:37SPEAKER_01: Does he still smoke pot?
- 24:39SPEAKER_01: I don't, that I can't answer.
- 24:41SPEAKER_01: I don't know the answer.
- 24:43SPEAKER_01: I've never seen him do it, but I, you know, again, but it's just kind of funny.
- 24:46SPEAKER_01: But now he just, just clean and sober.
- 24:50SPEAKER_01: Good for him.
- 24:51SPEAKER_01: At 69 years old.
- 24:53SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 24:54SPEAKER_03: Well, at least he's not like some of these other dummies that we hear that are like
- 24:57SPEAKER_03: the same age and they're still doing Blow and whatever.
- 24:59SPEAKER_03: It's like, what are you doing?
- 25:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I know.
- 25:00SPEAKER_03: Fucking idiots.
- 25:01SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 25:04SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 25:04SPEAKER_03: Next one I'm going to bring up.
- 25:06SPEAKER_03: I'm going to, we'll play some of the songs.
- 25:08SPEAKER_03: I like this song.
- 25:10SPEAKER_03: And I don't know,
- 25:12SPEAKER_03: I don't know anything really about,
- 25:16SPEAKER_03: because it's a guy from Alice Cooper, I really don't know shit about him.
- 25:21SPEAKER_03: There's a band called Crossbone Scully.
- 25:24SPEAKER_03: Are you aware of this band?
- 25:25SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 25:26SPEAKER_01: Who was it telling me about them?
- 25:29SPEAKER_01: Somebody had sent me a link to it.
- 25:33SPEAKER_01: Somebody must have sent me a link to it.
- 25:36SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 25:37SPEAKER_03: I didn't know really shit about it.
- 25:40SPEAKER_03: It's Tommy Hendrickson from Alice Cooper and Hollywood Vampires,
- 25:43SPEAKER_03: and it's a cool song,
- 25:44SPEAKER_03: and it's They did a song with Phil Collin from Def Leppard,
- 25:50SPEAKER_03: and they got Mutt Lang to produce it, which is pretty cool.
- 25:53SPEAKER_03: And honestly, when you hear the song, it sounds like a Def Leppard song.
- 25:56SPEAKER_03: Sure, it does.
- 25:57SPEAKER_03: It's very obvious that Phil is playing on it and Mutt is producing it.
- 26:01SPEAKER_01: There's no question.
- 26:03SPEAKER_01: It's like having David Foster produce your song and having it sound like 1980s Chicago.
- 26:09SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 26:10SPEAKER_01: Because these guys have their own sound that they inject into anything that they produce.
- 26:16SPEAKER_03: Sure.
- 26:17SPEAKER_03: Well, the reason I'm bringing this to the table is not about the song or the band or anything.
- 26:25SPEAKER_03: I got nothing bad to say about these guys at all.
- 26:29SPEAKER_03: But I certainly got a couple of thoughts about the press release.
- 26:32SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 26:33SPEAKER_03: Because this is a doozy of a doozy of the press release.
- 26:38SPEAKER_03: This is...
- 26:40SPEAKER_03: I know we make fun of it a lot, and we know it's all AI and whatever.
- 26:44SPEAKER_03: This one is, this takes the cake.
- 26:47SPEAKER_03: This might be the all-time silliest one ever.
- 26:50SPEAKER_03: Let me put it here on the screen.
- 26:52SPEAKER_03: Check this out.
- 26:54SPEAKER_03: Share the screen.
- 26:55SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 26:56SPEAKER_03: Crossbone Scully recruits Def Leppard's Phil Collin and legendary producer Mutt Lang
- 27:02SPEAKER_03: for Thunder Love single.
- 27:05SPEAKER_03: That's fine.
- 27:05SPEAKER_03: That sounds good.
- 27:06SPEAKER_03: But listen to this.
- 27:08SPEAKER_03: Crossbone Scully has released a brand new single,
- 27:11SPEAKER_03: Thunder Love,
- 27:12SPEAKER_03: that features Def Leppard's Phil Collin,
- 27:16SPEAKER_03: capturing a thunder-shaking midnight encounter between two sinners.
- 27:22SPEAKER_03: The song is a shot of lightning and lust-fueled chemistry,
- 27:27SPEAKER_03: delivering the first strike from Crossbone Scully's upcoming sophomore album,
- 27:33SPEAKER_03: Condemned to Rock and Roll, to be made available by Ear Music.
- 27:39SPEAKER_03: What in the fuck?
- 27:44SPEAKER_03: All you need is the guy that reads it and goes, in a world.
- 27:48SPEAKER_03: I mean, come on.
- 27:51SPEAKER_03: That's a hell of a sentence, isn't it?
- 27:55SPEAKER_03: It's jam-packed with adjectives.
- 27:58SPEAKER_03: Oh, my God.
- 27:59SPEAKER_03: And just a shot of lightning and lust-fueled chemistry.
- 28:06SPEAKER_03: What?
- 28:06SPEAKER_03: What?
- 28:08SPEAKER_03: What does that even mean?
- 28:10SPEAKER_03: Honestly, what does that mean?
- 28:13SPEAKER_03: What is a shot of lightning and lust-fueled chemistry?
- 28:18SPEAKER_01: It's hot and passionate love.
- 28:23SPEAKER_01: Is it?
- 28:24SPEAKER_01: It's lusty urges just exploding together.
- 28:29SPEAKER_03: Wonderful.
- 28:32SPEAKER_03: Let me read a little more.
- 28:33SPEAKER_03: I mean, not all of it is this, but it's just like, Jesus Christ.
- 28:36SPEAKER_03: Fronted by Tommy Hendrickson of Alice Cooper and the Hollywood Vampires,
- 28:41SPEAKER_03: Crossbone Scully is
- 28:42SPEAKER_03: a gritty hard rock band featuring fellow Alice Cooper guitarist Anna Blackthorn Cara
- 28:50SPEAKER_03: and a revolving cast of...
- 28:53SPEAKER_03: And a revolving cast of rock and roll misfits,
- 28:56SPEAKER_03: teaming up with Colin and the legendary producer Robert John Mutt Lang,
- 29:01SPEAKER_03: Hendrickson has crafted the perfect storm on Thunder Love.
- 29:06SPEAKER_03: The perfect storm.
- 29:08SPEAKER_03: The track also features the powerhouse studio drumming from Glenn Sobel
- 29:13SPEAKER_03: of Alice Cooper and the Hollywood Vampires,
- 29:16SPEAKER_03: whose thunderous performance helps drive the song's explosive energy.
- 29:21SPEAKER_01: How many times are they going to throw the word thunder in there?
- 29:24SPEAKER_03: Thunder is all over this thing.
- 29:26SPEAKER_03: And the name of the song is Thunder.
- 29:28SPEAKER_03: Thunder love.
- 29:29SPEAKER_01: My point.
- 29:30SPEAKER_01: So it's like, how many times are they going to throw thunder in there?
- 29:33SPEAKER_03: Well, it's thunder love.
- 29:34SPEAKER_03: It's thunder shaking.
- 29:36SPEAKER_03: It's thunderous.
- 29:39SPEAKER_03: Thunder thighs.
- 29:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no shit.
- 29:42SPEAKER_03: Just.
- 29:44SPEAKER_03: Again, I'll play the song here.
- 29:46SPEAKER_03: I'm not going to read the rest of this junk, but.
- 29:49SPEAKER_03: I'll play the song.
- 29:49SPEAKER_03: The song is fine.
- 29:51SPEAKER_03: It's just that press release is just retarded.
- 29:54SPEAKER_03: Just bad.
- 29:56SPEAKER_03: All right, here we go.

- 32:28SPEAKER_03: Def Leppard guys have a sound, don't they?
- 32:33SPEAKER_01: They got the big drum sound.
- 32:36SPEAKER_01: They got the background vocal thing going on.
- 32:39SPEAKER_03: This sounds like an outtake from Hysteria.
- 32:42SPEAKER_01: It does.
- 32:42SPEAKER_01: It really does.
- 32:43SPEAKER_01: It sounds like a scratch track.
- 32:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 32:48SPEAKER_01: You know, Def Leppard is recording this song, but they just got a scratch track here.
- 32:53SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they got a roadie or something to sing on it or something.
- 32:56SPEAKER_01: And I noticed that since Phil Lewis has a whole new look,
- 32:59SPEAKER_01: this guy decided to take the Phil Lewis look.
- 33:02SPEAKER_03: He took the Phil Pirate look.
- 33:04SPEAKER_03: I guess that's Crossbone Scully, right?
- 33:06SPEAKER_03: Is that a pirate thing, maybe?
- 33:08SPEAKER_03: I suppose.
- 33:09SPEAKER_03: Oh, you want a little more of this?
- 33:11SPEAKER_03: Sure, why not?
- 33:11SPEAKER_03: It's not a bad song.
- 33:12SPEAKER_01: It sounds like Def Leppard.
- 33:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's not a bad song.
- 33:15SPEAKER_01: You know, classic Def Leppard.
- 33:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah, exactly.
- 33:19SPEAKER_03: All right, here we go.
- 33:51Strang.
- 34:33SPEAKER_03: I want to get so excitable.
- 34:38SPEAKER_03: It's like the same guitar solo, even.
- 34:43SPEAKER_03: Again, don't hate it.
- 34:44SPEAKER_03: By any means, don't hate it.
- 34:45SPEAKER_03: But it really is Def Leppardy.
- 34:49SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's not breaking any new ground at all.
- 34:51SPEAKER_03: No, I don't think they're trying to.
- 34:55SPEAKER_01: It's a very familiar sounding song.
- 34:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but not bad.
- 34:59SPEAKER_03: I mean...
- 35:00SPEAKER_03: We get a lot worse through here.
- 35:02SPEAKER_03: How could it be bad if Mutt Lang is involved?
- 35:05SPEAKER_03: That's true, too.
- 35:06SPEAKER_03: He doesn't lend his name to much.
- 35:10SPEAKER_03: So there you go, Crossbone Scully.
- 35:12SPEAKER_03: The thunderous riffs of the shot of lightning and the bolt of thunder or whatever.
- 35:19SPEAKER_01: Thunderous drums, screaming guitars.
- 35:25SPEAKER_01: So stupid.
- 35:28SPEAKER_03: All right, well, there you go.
- 35:29SPEAKER_03: That's Crossbone Scully for you.
- 35:32SPEAKER_03: Not bad.
- 35:34SPEAKER_03: I'll listen to it.
- 35:35SPEAKER_03: That is an album I'll listen to.
- 35:36SPEAKER_03: If Phil is on this whole record, I'll listen to it.
- 35:39SPEAKER_03: If he's not, I'll listen to it.
- 35:42SPEAKER_03: Sounds okay.
- 35:45SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 35:47SPEAKER_01: So do you think Mutt just did this one song, or do you think he's doing the whole album?
- 35:53SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 35:54SPEAKER_03: You know, I hope he does the whole album.
- 35:57SPEAKER_03: Man, I'd love to see that guy come back.
- 35:59SPEAKER_01: So given the relationship with this Crossbones Scully and,
- 36:06SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 36:06SPEAKER_01: obviously Phil Collin and getting Mutt Lang on, you know, to turn the knobs, man.
- 36:14SPEAKER_01: Do you think Mutt is doing this kind of, you know, a little on the cheap side for these guys?
- 36:20SPEAKER_01: Just a little favor.
- 36:21SPEAKER_01: He may have done it for nothing.
- 36:23SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm saying.
- 36:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm sure he probably did.
- 36:26SPEAKER_03: I'm sure he didn't say, okay, my rate is 9,000 an hour or whatever it is.
- 36:29SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
- 36:30SPEAKER_01: I don't think a crossbones Scully with probably no record label support is going
- 36:35SPEAKER_01: to get a Mutt Lang to record.
- 36:37SPEAKER_03: No, probably not.
- 36:40SPEAKER_03: But that said, you know what the weird thing is?
- 36:43SPEAKER_03: They might because of the Alice Cooper connection.
- 36:47SPEAKER_03: You know, I mean, Alice Cooper...
- 36:50SPEAKER_03: There's a lot of people that have tentacle ties to Alice Cooper.
- 36:55SPEAKER_03: And Tommy's been with Alice Cooper for a long time, hasn't he?
- 36:59SPEAKER_03: He's been over there a while.
- 37:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, it's been at least 10 to 15 years, right?
- 37:05SPEAKER_01: Has it been that long?
- 37:06SPEAKER_03: I think it's been that long.
- 37:08SPEAKER_03: He's been there a long time at this point.
- 37:11SPEAKER_03: Again, look at how fast the fucking clock rolls these days, man.
- 37:15SPEAKER_03: It might be 30 years and we just don't even know it.
- 37:17SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 37:18SPEAKER_03: You know, so who knows?
- 37:21SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 37:22SPEAKER_03: And honestly, all I care about is it sounds good.
- 37:26SPEAKER_03: And we're so starved for music that sounds good these days.
- 37:30SPEAKER_03: I'll take it.
- 37:31SPEAKER_01: A little ear candy, if you will.
- 37:34SPEAKER_03: Although now that we said we like it, we will just get destroyed.
- 37:38SPEAKER_03: Did I tell you how bad we got beat up over saying that
- 37:40SPEAKER_03: that Def Leppard song was good three months ago or whatever that was,
- 37:45SPEAKER_03: two months ago?
- 37:45SPEAKER_01: No, I just thought it sounded like a classic Def Leppard.
- 37:50SPEAKER_01: I shared it with one of my coworkers who went to that Motley Def Leppard thing,
- 37:55SPEAKER_01: and he's an 80s guy.
- 37:57SPEAKER_01: He and I are literally nine days apart in age.
- 38:01SPEAKER_01: Sure.
- 38:02SPEAKER_01: And he loves that stuff.
- 38:04SPEAKER_01: And I shared it with him and he was, I'm adding that to my playlist right now.
- 38:08SPEAKER_01: I like it.
- 38:09SPEAKER_01: I like it too.
- 38:12SPEAKER_01: It's, you know, is it, you know, is it groundbreaking stuff for Def Leppard?
- 38:16SPEAKER_01: No, but at least it's the first thing they've done in 30 years.
- 38:20SPEAKER_01: It sounds like Def Leppard.
- 38:22SPEAKER_03: It's groundbreaking for the last 25 years anyway.
- 38:26SPEAKER_03: I mean, my God, take what you can get at this point.
- 38:30SPEAKER_03: All right, well, that's Crossbone Scully.
