Transcript
- 0:32It's Deprogram, the podcast where we try to get you into a
- 0:37band. That's right.
- 0:38We've done all the work for you. All you have to do is press play
- 0:41and listen. And you could say that I am band
- 0:44curious and in that I like to talk to my friends about bands
- 0:49that they love and find out why they love those bands and do the
- 0:53work with them and try to come up with a top 10 starter kit
- 0:56list for you today. You could say we're
- 0:59institutionalized. You could say that we've joined
- 1:04the Army. You could say that we're going
- 1:07to do it subliminally anyway you want to say it today we're
- 1:10talking about Suicidal Tendencies.
- 1:11And it's hilarious, Corey, that honestly, I can't believe it
- 1:16took this long to get here. And that, you know, forgive me
- 1:21for saying so, but you're the, you're the one who put them on
- 1:24the board. You're good dude, that's
- 1:28accurate. I, it is funny that nobody's
- 1:32gotten here yet that the pod hasn't arrived here, especially
- 1:35as long as you've been doing this.
- 1:38I I'm typically, I mean, the doors hair metal is typically my
- 1:43thing. But as I've gotten, as I'm
- 1:46approaching 40, it's a great time, I guess, to suddenly start
- 1:51suddenly start delving into punk rock.
- 1:53And so that's how I kind of, I'd heard of tendencies years ago.
- 1:58I remember a buddy of mine, my buddy Ballard had mentioned
- 2:02them, and I was like, wow, that's an interesting name for a
- 2:04band. I was 16.
- 2:06I didn't know any better. I was an idiot, as everybody is
- 2:08at that age. And it just kind of stayed in
- 2:11the back of my mind for years. And I was, you know, aware that
- 2:14they existed. And a couple years ago, I met my
- 2:19buddy Matt, and he played in the punk rock band and, you know,
- 2:22hardcore punk. And he would play at work all of
- 2:25these bands. And I would sit there and I
- 2:27would listen to it. And I'm like, well, who's this?
- 2:29Who's that? And that's how tendencies really
- 2:32came across my radar. And I would be sitting there
- 2:34through Apple Music, and I would add some of the stuff that he
- 2:37would play into my library as I'm listening to music around
- 2:40the house. It will come on.
- 2:41And I would take a band that I, OK, I like this song.
- 2:45And then natural curiosity takes over and you delve deeper into
- 2:48them. And I was telling you the other
- 2:50day, Justin, if I had discovered them years ago, they probably
- 2:55would be in like my five favorite bands of all time.
- 2:59They still might be. Even though I'm a late bloomer,
- 3:02as an St. fan, I love these dudes.
- 3:05This was a blast of a lesson, as they all are.
- 3:07But it's funny because you think of, I think people that you
- 3:14know, just kind of look at the the outside, you know, you think
- 3:17maybe Metallica, Pantera, stuff like that.
- 3:21These dudes rock every bit as hard as them, if not harder.
- 3:26I absolutely think harder. And I would I would find myself
- 3:29going to tendencies over any of those bands personally going
- 3:34forward. Oh, for sure.
- 3:37And I mean, it's funny you brought up you brought up like
- 3:41the, the hair metal in, you know, I was, I was curious.
- 3:43I never bothered to look at the timeline of this self-titled
- 3:47came out in 83. So it's, it's like parallel to
- 3:50your hair metal. So it really could have been on
- 3:53your, your radar. It's it's funny that it just now
- 3:55got there. It is, it is, man.
- 3:58I mean it. I, I always thought kind of they
- 4:01were a, I guess when they were hitting the stride is when I
- 4:06assumed that they began to exist.
- 4:08I mean, those are obviously all things we'll talk about, but as
- 4:11I kind of discovered, oh wow, they've been around for freaking
- 4:14years. Holy shit.
- 4:17You know, like you said, self-titled in 83.
- 4:20And then the evolution kind of began from there, which we'll
- 4:23get into. And it was enthralling to kind
- 4:26of hear how they progressed from this hardcore punk rock band to
- 4:29what they became. So I feel like probably
- 4:34somewhere around the last time Corey was on, he gives me a list
- 4:38of of stuff and tendencies is one of them.
- 4:40And I guess Christian, at some point you're coming through the
- 4:43list and you hopped on almost immediately.
- 4:47So talk to me about suicidal tendencies.
- 4:50Yeah, I I think as well, I was quite surprised they hadn't been
- 4:54done already because they seem like one of the big bands that I
- 4:59would have expected to have been done already.
- 5:00So I was really excited to actually see that it was an
- 5:03opportunity to come on and, and, and talk about them.
- 5:07A lot of the episodes, in fact, all of the episodes I've done to
- 5:10date have been sort of indie, maybe sort of some 90s, kind of,
- 5:16you know, not too heavy. And this was a really good
- 5:20opportunity to get back into my metal days, which is where where
- 5:23I was before I got into those kind of 90s kind of grunge bands
- 5:26and that and that kind of stuff. So yeah, I was really excited.
- 5:31I've normally got a interesting origin story for a band.
- 5:34I don't this time. A friend said check out this
- 5:38band. So really, really boring origin
- 5:41story this time from me. But yeah, I was a friend of mine
- 5:44said, look, check out this band. We were sort of into all the
- 5:46bands that Cory's mentioned, you know, Metallica, etcetera, and I
- 5:52went out and I bought the as as you do when you're a poor
- 5:55student. I bought the cheapest album that
- 5:58was that was available, which was How Will I Laugh tomorrow?
- 6:02And I absolutely loved it. Then I saw the video for
- 6:06Institutionalized, which is obviously a lot earlier than
- 6:08that. And I was like, whoa, they've
- 6:10got, you know, different sides, but it was they would one of the
- 6:18words I want to, I want to describe them as this kind of
- 6:20dangerous. And that, that that was really
- 6:23sort of like for me, a kid from Wales, you know, it's so far
- 6:28removed from from what my life was all about.
- 6:31You know, having said that, there, there was a, there was a
- 6:33connection because where I grew up, there was it was quite sort
- 6:36of a surfy, skatey area anyway. So there was that connection
- 6:39with that whole kind of beach life and, and, and skating.
- 6:43But in terms of the whole Californian thing and you know,
- 6:47the whole the, the, the, are they aren't they involved in the
- 6:50whole gang culture thing? It was, it just felt really
- 6:53excited and fresh and dangerous. And, you know, the, the, the,
- 6:56the other metal bands, your metallicas, your Megadeths, you
- 6:59know, a lot of their imagery and Iron Maiden I liked at the time,
- 7:02like their imagery was sort of dark and occult and you know,
- 7:06all that kind of stuff. And you know that the cover of
- 7:09How Will I Laugh? Where they're all in this
- 7:11blazing Californian sunshine in this kind of, you know, they're
- 7:15not dressed like other metal bands in your dark Leathers.
- 7:18They're all in like your, your skate clothes and your bandanas.
- 7:21And it was just, it was completely fresh.
- 7:26I wasn't into them for very long because they caught me just as I
- 7:31was kind of transitioning into that other kind of genre that I
- 7:34mentioned earlier. And I was just kind of moving
- 7:36away from metal. But this, the fact that I get to
- 7:41talk about them now is brilliant.
- 7:42The last few weeks listening back has been an absolute blast.
- 7:46Just to go back in time, back to my get my metaphorical long hair
- 7:52back on and and have a good old have a good old mosh.
- 7:56Yeah, dude. It's, it's funny because like,
- 8:00you know, again, as, as I'm want to do, you know, I kind of view
- 8:05things through American eyes as, as Rage Against the Machine once
- 8:09said, I don't really think about 'cause I, you know, I just made
- 8:14the parallel to like, you know, the time frame being at the same
- 8:18time as hair metal, which is very LA.
- 8:20But suicidal tendencies puts forward a different look at La
- 8:25and clearly globally, like, you know, suddenly you, you're
- 8:29looking at something else that's LA as opposed to that polished
- 8:33what's coming out of the hair metal, hair metal thing.
- 8:36So yeah, I'm, I have like 2 to three different entry points of,
- 8:45of tendencies in my life because first and foremost, beeps and
- 8:51butt head. There was several Beavis videos
- 8:55on Beavis and butt head that, you know, just implanted in my
- 8:59brain when, when I was very, you know, impressionable 1213 years
- 9:03old and just went, oh, that's cool.
- 9:06Like, you know, never enough to go, I'm going to go buy records.
- 9:10But like enough that, you know, it, like I said, it implanted.
- 9:14I, I knew who they were. I could I could put, you know, I
- 9:18could put a name to the band, put a name to the face and like
- 9:22I'll give more specific stories as we as we come up on the songs
- 9:25portion. But like and then
- 9:28institutionalized obviously got a got a lot of radio play here
- 9:33on Corey. You'll know this on 96 X used to
- 9:36play that song. So, you know, there's entry
- 9:40level 2 and then the band gets put back on my radar with,
- 9:45funnily enough, GTA5 and I'm actually doing another band in a
- 9:50couple days that GTA5 put, you know, in my face.
- 9:54But like, it's, it's funny how parallel this band has been to
- 10:01my life. And I've all every song I've
- 10:04ever heard. I've always been into you and I
- 10:06just why I never made the dive, who knows?
- 10:09You know, like this show has been great for that for me.
- 10:12And like, hey, let's you know, we did Pink Floyd last night,
- 10:15like hey, finally opening the door to this band that's been
- 10:18like around quite literally my whole life.
- 10:22And now it's finally time to to to get into him.
- 10:26We've made a, a couple mentions here, like of how fun of a
- 10:31listen, how, how easy of a, a listen.
- 10:34This was, Corey. We did have to chop it down to I
- 10:38think we ended up what like the first six records or something,
- 10:415-6 records. When you, yeah, when you're
- 10:45looking at that and you know it, it kind of encompasses, you know
- 10:50what the 80s maybe right into the 90s.
- 10:53What it, what does it look like as you're trying to put your,
- 10:56your 20 together 'cause it. And you know, I know there's
- 11:00like a, a move in there, but like, you took your time with
- 11:03this one. You you really were pretty
- 11:05meticulous with your list. I did and a lot of that is, you
- 11:10know, we were in the middle of a move and we're all adults.
- 11:12We know how much moving sucks is the worst.
- 11:16It had it not been for that, we could have probably got to this
- 11:18two weeks earlier. But this was in terms of
- 11:21actually dissecting getting to my 20I realized as I was doing
- 11:25it, and I don't know if I mentioned it to you, you know,
- 11:28through the weeks, as were, you know, in person, this was the
- 11:32hardest time I had making cuts since the doors and that was
- 11:36like cutting limbs off your children, You know, when we did
- 11:40the doors episode. But this was it was very, very
- 11:44arduous, man. It was just hard to kind of, you
- 11:46know, because you want to check the boxes, you want to play the
- 11:48game, but it's also I found myself OK, do I want to learn
- 11:52more and make my cuts towards playing the game more or But
- 11:55holy shit, this song rocks. How can I cut this off?
- 11:59I love it. And, you know, I've, I always
- 12:02make lists of my final cuts, what I bring to the final round
- 12:04and what I end up neutering and. I was.
- 12:08Scrolling through, you know my notes section looking as you
- 12:11guys were talking and I'm seeing some that were just like oh man,
- 12:15you know I had forgotten you know the specific ones that I
- 12:18had cut until just looking at it.
- 12:20This one was hard man. It really was.
- 12:23It's. Interesting to hear that, like
- 12:25it's such a swift and easy listen, right Christian?
- 12:28Like as you said, you had a lot of fun listening, but that
- 12:31doesn't always translate to making a fun list make right.
- 12:38Yeah, it was, it was challenging.
- 12:41There were a couple of things that I that I sort of took into
- 12:44consideration. Chad, we always talk about
- 12:46whether album representation is important, and I think this is 1
- 12:50band. Yeah.
- 12:50Where it is because there is AI mean, you know, people who know
- 12:54the band will know that there's a you.
- 12:57You said the word earlier on, Corey, an evolution of sound,
- 12:59you know, going from 83 up to where do we stop our rebellion?
- 13:05Was that 90s? Yeah. 92, I think, yeah.
- 13:09That that sound massively evolves and I thought it was
- 13:15really important to get some milestones along the way just so
- 13:19you could actually see where that evolution takes place and
- 13:22how it moves along. So this is one of the, you know,
- 13:24the the bands I've done so far that this is probably the
- 13:27biggest one where album representation was important for
- 13:30me. The other one is this is a
- 13:32phrase that you use quite often just in is it does the thing.
- 13:37There are there are motifs within suicidal tendencies that
- 13:43I felt it was important to highlight in my 20 where oh,
- 13:48that's, that's a real St. motif. We have to have that in because
- 13:52of and it may just be a little, a little snippet.
- 13:54Do you know what I mean? It may just be 8 bars, but it's
- 13:57like, no, no, that is that that sums them up right there.
- 13:59And and therefore that has to be a contender for the list.
- 14:04That's funny you mention that, Christian, because I one of the
- 14:07songs that we'll discuss made my it ended up leapfrogging into my
- 14:12final 20. You know, based off of exactly
- 14:15that what you're saying. So I think I may have like not
- 14:21purposefully done that, you know, I don't know.
- 14:23We'll, we'll see how I, I don't have it written out via, you
- 14:27know, records and whatnot. I do.
- 14:29I do agree that representation will be important.
- 14:32As far as we should have a song from everything, especially it's
- 14:35only 5 records. We should be able to make that
- 14:38happen. It's such a breeze of a listen.
- 14:42I think I accidentally listened all the way through over the
- 14:47course of like an afternoon. And that's not usually the case
- 14:51with me. And usually it takes me like 2-3
- 14:54afternoons. I, you know, I only have like a
- 14:56little bit of time when I'm waiting to pick up the kids.
- 15:01But something happened where I had, I had an afternoon where I
- 15:05had a couple hours, I could just sit and listen and I just kind
- 15:08of breezed through it and I was suddenly I was done with my
- 15:11first pass and I was like, oh, and I don't think I had a ton
- 15:15through on my first pass, but like I could have.
- 15:21I'm also a person who doesn't want to make more work for
- 15:24myself. So I didn't, I didn't want to go
- 15:26back and overdo it, you know, like I was, I think it may have
- 15:29come down to 27, which I thought was kind of low and considering
- 15:34how much I enjoyed, but I was like, well, what am I going to
- 15:37do? Go add more and then make the
- 15:39this next round of cuts harder? No, that doesn't make any sense.
- 15:42Let's, we'll just go with this. And, you know, I, I feel like, I
- 15:48feel like I got a little everything and their songs that
- 15:54I knew that again, I, I, you know, people who have listened
- 15:59to the Pink Floyd episode will know that with a band like this
- 16:04that I've kind of either overlooked or has been in my
- 16:07head somewhere. I just never kind of opened the
- 16:09door to it. Like there's songs that I love
- 16:12even more now that, you know, some time has passed and the
- 16:16doors officially open. So it's this sounds like it
- 16:21could be interesting. It's 58 songs, so it's not like
- 16:24we can hide too much Corey. But it does feel like there is
- 16:28the possibility of overthinking overplaying.
- 16:33It does feel like there is a possibility that that this is
- 16:36this is a garbage fire when it comes to like, you know, how do
- 16:39we get to our list right? Like, but how much do you think
- 16:42we get through unanimously for the final say all?
- 16:46Right, man, I've been toying with that all afternoon.
- 16:51I'm going to go with it. It might be, it might be
- 16:54ambitious, but I'm going to go 4.
- 16:57OK, All right, Four. I like that.
- 17:00What do you think, Christian? I don't know.
- 17:06I feel quite, quite confident about this one.
- 17:11I think there are re songs that I would be flabbergasted if they
- 17:17didn't make it. So that's three already.
- 17:20I think there are there are standouts.
- 17:23I think there are other ones that I that I think we'll get
- 17:27through. So I'm going to go six.
- 17:29I've left the door open for you. I mean, do I take the easy way
- 17:36out and just split the difference?
- 17:39I mean, left that door open, right that's.
- 17:41What I'm saying, right, We did. I might as well take that
- 17:45because I can think of like one or two songs that if they don't
- 17:48get in, I could pick as as my pick to be the 10th song.
- 17:54So I might as well play. Yeah, you don't want to win.
- 17:58Normally I normally. Don't want to win this time I
- 18:02do. I want to no, but usually it's
- 18:05because I don't have a song in mind.
- 18:07There's a couple songs here where I, you know, if they don't
- 18:10make it, I I'd be like, OK, well, I can pick this song.
- 18:13So I'll go with five in case that way, in case I do win, I
- 18:19I've got something in mind. So all right, 456 we're we're
- 18:22right there in the middle. If that feels about right
- 18:25though, like it's 58 songs, but but they're all kind of in play.
- 18:30So we'll see. We're going to take a quick
- 18:34pause and when we come back on the other side of it, we're
- 18:36going to play the game. It's the programs.
- 18:45And with that, the name of the game is deprogrammed.
- 18:48The three of us have combed through the 1st 5 Suicidal
- 18:50Tendencies records and plucked out 20 songs that we are now
- 18:54going to mash together in an attempt to create a top 10
- 18:56starter kit for you in case you haven't given them the time of
- 19:01day. And I'll understand if one of
- 19:05you doesn't have this, but one of you should and it we're not
- 19:10here without this song. I don't care what anybody says.
- 19:13Like, even if it wasn't on your radar at the time it came out,
- 19:18it's probably the biggest hit. It's but it also fucking rules
- 19:24and it's very much what they do. And it was so good that Fred
- 19:28Durst had to use part of it for one of his songs in Limp Bizkit.
- 19:31You know what? 16 years later, I'm going to
- 19:34start with institutionalized. All I want it was a Pepsi.
- 19:39I got it. Yep.
- 19:41Yeah, If it wasn't, I would be ending, ending my participation
- 19:44in this podcast right now, I mean.
- 19:47Yeah, it does feel like that, right?
- 19:49Like in, you know, I would have understood if one of you didn't,
- 19:52you know, And but like this, there's no way that's a bin song
- 19:57for this band, and rightfully so.
- 20:00It should be in and thank God it is.
- 20:01We don't have to spend any more time on that.
- 20:04But like. I've never heard anything.
- 20:06I've never heard anything like like it before.
- 20:10Yeah. Yeah, it's.
- 20:12It's completely unique. Well, you know.
- 20:15In terms of what? I in terms of what I heard, but
- 20:17you know, there may be other things out there, but I've
- 20:19listened to a lot of music and it's, it's still holds up to
- 20:23this day as being unique and fresh for me.
- 20:27I also the video with when Beavis and Butthead are watching
- 20:32it and Beavis kind of like starts agreeing with Mike.
- 20:35He's like, they're always like Beavis Beavis and it's just you
- 20:40know, it, it it has both the uniqueness you're looking for.
- 20:45It also has a nostalgia you can tie to and it also had there's a
- 20:49timeliness to it, like it's it, it's very unique in in that way
- 20:54And and it it's just rules. So I'm I'm so happy I didn't
- 20:58have to like yell at one of you for not having it.
- 21:03All right, institutionalized is in Corey.
- 21:05Where do you want to go hang out with?
- 21:08You also on this round for self-titled in this one as well.
- 21:13You probably know where I'm going.
- 21:14Maybe obvious, but I I same thing felt like one of you guys
- 21:19definitely would have it if not too.
- 21:21So let's just try and see. Subliminal.
- 21:22Yes Sir. Yep, had it.
- 21:26There we. Go.
- 21:28Yeah, I wasn't sure if this was a Homer because this one got
- 21:34introduced to me via GTA5. Like, I'm sure that I had
- 21:39probably heard it prior to that, but I know it from GTA5 S it
- 21:46it's on one of the radio stations and like so many times
- 21:51I can recall. Like driving their stupid FedEx
- 21:54vans delivering drugs to people's doors in a video game,
- 21:58folks. Not for real.
- 22:01Yeah, just to clarify. And this song kind of being on,
- 22:04you know, as you're climbing up a mountain going 40 miles an
- 22:09hour in a stupid UPS truck, it's, you know, it's just going
- 22:13to. Pick up a hooker.
- 22:15Yeah, you. Know all those cool things and I
- 22:17mean funnily enough, my band, we wrote a song.
- 22:22So we wrote a song when we were a band prior and one of the
- 22:27riffs we took it and brought it to the new band and it
- 22:32accidentally is the same as the opening rift, the subliminal.
- 22:37So we we accidentally ganked the the rift from subliminal.
- 22:41So that was just a fun note. It does.
- 22:44It does. It does lots of the thing.
- 22:47Yeah, subliminal. It has, it has that menacing
- 22:50quality. It it does something that, you
- 22:55know, people often talk about Pixies and grunge being loud,
- 22:59quiet, dynamic. St. have like a slow, fast
- 23:02dynamic, which is definitely a motif.
- 23:06And yeah. And that transition into the
- 23:10sort of the skate punk, you know, it's.
- 23:12Yeah, it takes a lot of the boxes.
- 23:14Yeah. I mean.
- 23:15It does. Well, and this is one of those
- 23:16ones for me where it's like the game almost gets inside your
- 23:20head because you at least in bands I've done in the past, you
- 23:23know, it's like, well, you don't.
- 23:25Do you really want to bring all of the ones that get the FM
- 23:28radio circulation to the conversation?
- 23:30Everybody already kind of knows those.
- 23:32So you always kind of, at least for me, I've always kind of
- 23:35tried to decipher which ones do I want to bring forth forces,
- 23:38which ones I want to leave behind.
- 23:40So I kind of had that game with institutionalized versus
- 23:42subliminal. And then I'm sitting there going
- 23:44fuck that dude. They I, you can't not have them
- 23:48both. It's true.
- 23:49It's true. And I it clearly all all three
- 23:51of us agreed, which is great. I was sure that one of them was
- 23:56was going to not be on one of ours.
- 23:58So I'm glad that we got them both.
- 24:00That makes sense. Yeah, that 6.
- 24:02Is looking good, brother, Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 24:06All right, Christian, where you want to go?
- 24:10Left lots of doors open. I will tell you what I mentioned
- 24:15that the album that got me into them was #3 How will I laugh?
- 24:22Certainly #3 in this list anyway.
- 24:24How will I laugh tomorrow? But I can't even smile today.
- 24:26And I will pick the title track. Got it.
- 24:32OK. Good.
- 24:33I don't, but yeah, I know. You know, I think that kind of
- 24:39comes with not knowing the the band fully before doing this.
- 24:45But yeah, well, I mean, subliminal wasn't in my 3
- 24:51definites and this one was, so I guess that's even get out a
- 24:55little bit. But wow, OK.
- 24:57It's. It's I love it and it's got one
- 25:00of one of the best breakdowns. Well, one of my favorite
- 25:05breakdowns, let's say in music that the whole bit with the IT
- 25:09just goes think sounds funny. Left this and then the rest that
- 25:17just bit. That bit just makes me go nuts.
- 25:21Oh, sorry, I'll let you guys down.
- 25:22Yeah. Obviously it doesn't make Justin
- 25:24go nuts, but yeah. Damn it, Justin.
- 25:29I'm often times that guy, unfortunately.
- 25:33It's, it's usually me to be fair, so you know.
- 25:36I'll stay on that record with you and you know, I'll, I'll
- 25:40stay here and I'm going with this one because I didn't get a
- 25:43ton of answers when I asked threads, you know, about
- 25:46suicidal tendencies. We got, you know, of course, a
- 25:49couple people answering with institutionalized and this is
- 25:52one of the other answers I got, which is why it at least in
- 25:56part, why I kept it on my list. So how about trip at the brain?
- 26:01Absolutely, dude. Yeah, it definitely is really
- 26:04important. Hey, all right, all right, that
- 26:09that gets us going again. And that also just means like,
- 26:14you know, if it, I just noticed surprise, surprise track 1.
- 26:19Yeah, that, yeah, Yep, that that opening, it just says, yeah,
- 26:25we're a Malaban now. Yeah.
- 26:27And what a great video too. Oh, OK, so it was a single.
- 26:33That makes sense. That must have been at least in
- 26:35part, why somebody answered that.
- 26:39I just thought it ripped. I was like, oh, this is cool.
- 26:41Like this is, this is a neat little progress to their sound.
- 26:47Yeah, they were, you know #1 is it is a punk album #2 you know,
- 26:53I don't know, Join the Army. I don't know that album very
- 26:56well. But what I've read is they say
- 26:58that that became a bit more metal.
- 27:00I, I, I don't hear it as much. It's Join the Army's a bit more
- 27:03kind of messy. But for me, that opening of
- 27:07track 1 of How Will I Laugh is just like, yeah, they are firmly
- 27:12flash metal band. And it's, it's confident the
- 27:14production's clean. It's yeah, it's, as I said, it's
- 27:18a real milestone for me that in terms of the evolution of the
- 27:21band. So we got it.
- 27:24It's in. Brings us up to a three still
- 27:29very early in the game. So like it could easily fall off
- 27:32at any moment or we could go on a hot streak.
- 27:34Who knows? We'll see, Corey.
- 27:38All right. So I'll I'll venture to my
- 27:40favorite album of theirs since you guys are Christian, you did
- 27:44for yours, I'll go to Lights Camera Revolution and I'll stick
- 27:48with that track 1 theme as well with You Can't Bring Me Down.
- 27:52Yeah, I got it. 1,000,000%. Hey, hey.
- 27:58All right. Let me get that queued up.
- 28:03That is 1. I didn't see going all the way
- 28:06through that. That one I felt like was
- 28:07probably A2 but. Wow.
- 28:10Yeah, me too. Really.
- 28:12No, that, that is an absolute stand out for me.
- 28:14It's it is one of the songs that I listen to before I play sport.
- 28:19It just. It just massively pumps, pumps
- 28:22me up. The video is amazing.
- 28:28There's the bit where it kind of gets a bit melodic when he's in
- 28:31the video and I'm just, I can just picture he's sort of doing
- 28:33that sort of that dance where you sort of side to side and
- 28:36he's kind of going through a prison corridor.
- 28:39And there's people like grabbing up the cells and he's in sort of
- 28:42shuffles and he he's just sort of sort of striding through.
- 28:45And you know, the bet is like can't bring me down.
- 28:48No, everything about that song, it absolutely smashes.
- 28:54What would you look at that Corey?
- 28:55We're at right at your four this early in the game.
- 28:59Dude, right? I know I should have been.
- 29:01I thought that might have been ambitious.
- 29:03I should have been even more ambitious, I guess.
- 29:05That's interesting though, like all good.
- 29:07Yeah, you know. You never know.
- 29:10I mean, you have to start playing the game to find out,
- 29:12right? So, Yep.
- 29:15All right, Christian. OK, I'll stay on the album.
- 29:22I'm going to pick a song. That kind of evidence is kind of
- 29:27something about Mike Mirror. I think he's he's an absolutely
- 29:30fascinating character. There's, you know, there's two
- 29:34sides to Mike Muir. There's the the whole, the
- 29:37bravado of like, he's a big guy. Like you would mess with him,
- 29:41the muscles, the kind of the low slang bandana, especially, you
- 29:44know, later on when he's sort of properly bugged up and he's got
- 29:48the long hair of the bandana and he's big and and yet there's a
- 29:52vulnerability to him as well in terms of, you know, as he gets,
- 29:56as they get into the later albums, he's got this kind of
- 29:58falsetto that he the users I read someone said it's his Ray
- 30:02Davis voice from the Kinks. And I was like, whatever.
- 30:07And you know, the whole, the whole, you know, the whole self
- 30:09deprecation that goes right through the whole thing about
- 30:13the whole idea of this suicidal tendencies about him having low
- 30:19self worth and he's no good and all this kind of stuff.
- 30:21So it's a real sort of dichotomy with Mike Beery.
- 30:23He's he's, and I find that really fascinating.
- 30:27But yeah, I'm going to go for get to the point.
- 30:29I'm going to go for a loan. After all that that.
- 30:34Was that was one of my final cuts?
- 30:36Dude, I do not have it. I can't.
- 30:38Save you either, sorry. OK.
- 30:41That's fine. It's just, as I say, I wanted to
- 30:44get that on it because it's just that the way that it begins,
- 30:46it's that that high kind of look at this guy.
- 30:50He didn't cry. It's that, you know, it's his
- 30:54high voice, not his shouty voice, you know?
- 30:57Yeah, he's. Being vulnerable.
- 30:58He's being vulnerable, yeah. Never mind.
- 31:03We've. Kind of gone all over the place.
- 31:04So like we haven't cracked in to join the Army.
- 31:07I know what you said Christian, but I did find stuff from join
- 31:11the army so might as well see if we can find something from that.
- 31:20How about you got I want? I don't.
- 31:27No, not for me. OK.
- 31:28All right. Into the bin and we had to dive
- 31:32into it at some point. So all right, Corey, I will.
- 31:37I'm just going to follow you guys kind of.
- 31:39I guess that's the trend. So I'll stick on join the army
- 31:43with human Guinea pig. Oh.
- 31:46No, unfortunately. No.
- 31:50Me neither. No.
- 31:51Dice. Yeah, might be time to bail on
- 31:56join, join the army for now. Come back to that later,
- 32:02Christian. I do have some, believe it or
- 32:08not, I do have some stuff from Join the Army.
- 32:11But yeah, all right, let's go back to that later.
- 32:12All right, let's go where we haven't gone yet.
- 32:14Then this Art of Rebellion was another album that kind of for
- 32:22me didn't have as strong an identity as maybe self-titled
- 32:27How I Laugh and Like Camera, but I've managed to get something
- 32:30from every album. I'll go with something that was
- 32:32literally my 20th pick. It's got heavy guitar, it's got
- 32:37funky bass because by then you've got to Halo in the mix.
- 32:41It's got the Mikey Mirror falsetto.
- 32:45Which way to free No. I got.
- 32:48It hey. Take that too.
- 32:52I, you know, for the record, I Art of Rebellion was easily my
- 32:57least favorite that we covered. Absolutely, you know, not that
- 33:01again, you know, I hate saying things like that because it
- 33:03comes off as me saying like it's bad.
- 33:06It isn't bad. It's just you.
- 33:09You said it perfectly Christian, so I don't know why I'm
- 33:11repeating it, but I think maybe because hearing it from a second
- 33:16person on the panel might kind of put it out there to the world
- 33:19that these other ones are very clearly suicidal tendencies and
- 33:25not that that that one isn't. It's just a lesser then like if
- 33:31you, if you want suicidal tendencies, go for the earlier
- 33:35stuff and then you can get to that later.
- 33:38And it's it's a perfectly acceptable, it's a perfectly
- 33:42fine suicidal tendencies record. But if you want like to get into
- 33:46them, go earlier like that. It's we'll find something from
- 33:50that for sure. But yeah, you know, since he's
- 33:54since you're there, I do have a couple from that, so I might as
- 33:58well try one of mine too. Sometimes the attitude is in the
- 34:04song title too. So I'm going to go with one that
- 34:08has the attitude in the song title.
- 34:10How about we call this Mother Revenge My final?
- 34:16Cuts. I did not take it through.
- 34:20Yeah, it didn't have it. It's it's, it's in my, you know,
- 34:24it's in the top half of that album.
- 34:26But no, I didn't make it all. Right into the bin.
- 34:30All right, We'll find each other again, Corey.
- 34:35I only brought two from the Art of Rebellion into the
- 34:38conversation, so I'll just throw my other one out and see if
- 34:41either one of you guys have it. I've got nobody hears.
- 34:45Nope. Nope, same.
- 34:50What are the better ones? But not not up there for me.
- 34:55Yep. Yep, All right, so.
- 34:56That, that one's going to be hard to find something from, but
- 34:59we'll figure out something maybe.
- 35:02All right, Christian. OK, which way do I go?
- 35:10Right? I haven't taken anything from
- 35:12self-titled yet, so I'm going to go with something that does one
- 35:17of the things Menacing, slow, dissonant, the opening riff,
- 35:24suicidal failure. Don't.
- 35:30Dang it. I mean, as a, as a song, I kind
- 35:35of get, I get that, you know, it's but that riff that for me
- 35:42that, that is that first, first album, you know, in a, in a
- 35:46nutshell, it's, it's similar to the subliminal has that kind of
- 35:50dissonant kind of feel to it, which creates that menace and
- 35:53that sense of danger. And it, it, it does that for me.
- 35:57But that's, that's cool. That's cool.
- 35:59I think the problem here is, and I'm I, I didn't look at my album
- 36:03breakdown until now. I've got 6 from that record.
- 36:08So I, you know, 121. Yeah.
- 36:11So I think that probably just kind of got lost to I've got too
- 36:15much. Something's got to go, yeah.
- 36:17And. I think there are there are
- 36:19better songs on the album and I think I went a different
- 36:22direction in terms of picking songs where that perhaps the
- 36:25overall song wasn't as good, but it had a like I said it tell it
- 36:28told the story, it had a motif. So, and that's a perfect example
- 36:31of that all. Right, so I might as well
- 36:36continue with follow the leader. You went back to self-titled.
- 36:38I'll go with self-titled. This is the only other answer I
- 36:42got when I asked the Internet which the Internet was
- 36:45everything. So one of you may have this.
- 36:49How about I want more? I've got it.
- 36:55Yeah, I have. That yay all.
- 36:58Right, God. And now the weight just got.
- 37:04That's #5. I mean, Mike Miller.
- 37:08Mike Miller is looking to the sky again.
- 37:10I will say this, there's one that I haven't played yet that
- 37:14if it doesn't get in, I know I'm taking.
- 37:16So we'll see like where you guys fall in that song.
- 37:21But just like that at 5, I didn't see that one.
- 37:27I mean, I guess I must have somewhat because somebody said
- 37:30it, but it is interesting. The ones that have have kind of
- 37:34gone in. So all right, I only want more
- 37:37is in brings us to five. And just for the record, we've
- 37:41got the five unanimous and two twos.
- 37:43So we still got our work cut out for us, but we still have like
- 37:46well over half our lists, I think.
- 37:48So, yeah. Where you want to go, Corey?
- 37:52So I'm going to go here just because I want to see if this is
- 37:56the other song you're talking about that you will fight for.
- 37:59Because this is one of the ones, the chalky ones that Christian
- 38:02said he had a few. This is one of the ones for me
- 38:05so I just want to see if this was it.
- 38:08How will I laugh tomorrow? Pledge your allegiance.
- 38:11Oh, I got it. That wasn't it, but I got it.
- 38:14Really. Yeah.
- 38:15Yeah, I have it. St.
- 38:18Yes, boom. Yes, firmly away from my 5.
- 38:23On to Christian 6. The weight is off me.
- 38:26We can go. We can do whatever we want from
- 38:28here. I do.
- 38:31I no longer care. Yeah.
- 38:34The weight is not mine, although that does put my My One song in
- 38:39jeopardy. So we'll see.
- 38:41We'll see what happens when we get there.
- 38:43We scroll this up and get it queued up before we move on.
- 38:48I guess I didn't realize that this one was was chalky.
- 38:51Is this like a single or something or just kind of?
- 38:57So I believe it was I for me, it just, it's, I know it's one of
- 39:01the top played songs on Apple Music.
- 39:03I think it was probably a single.
- 39:05I think it's just kind of that, you know, at the beginning, the
- 39:09St. it feels very, it feels very Ant to me.
- 39:13It feels like one of the ones like if I were to put someone
- 39:16onto the band, that would be one of the Rushmore ones where I
- 39:19would go, Yo, you got to hear this one.
- 39:21Yeah. Yeah, that.
- 39:23St. is is iconic. It's like a sports chant.
- 39:26Yeah, yeah. Exactly.
- 39:27Yeah, yeah. All right, Christian, I mean,
- 39:31we're right at your 6. I don't know if you've I, I
- 39:34think you've won before, so you know.
- 39:37Yeah. I wish I'd had.
- 39:40Could keep. Better track of that.
- 39:42But I mean, I guess I do record it and could go back and all
- 39:49right, yeah, I won. I won the cranberries.
- 39:52That's. Right, I won the cranberries.
- 39:53And I did a last minute pivot. OK, I'll stay on.
- 40:00How will I laugh then? And this is actually one of my
- 40:03favorite songs. I'm not sure whether other
- 40:05people think it's a strong song, but again, it it has a bit that
- 40:10I absolutely love the miracle. Oh.
- 40:15No. I do not.
- 40:17Don't, but I know what you're talking about.
- 40:19Yeah. Yeah, you.
- 40:20Know the bet, right? Uh huh.
- 40:27Yep, that's cool. That's cool.
- 40:29Again, I'm hard one to leave off.
- 40:31I'm going. For riffs and and bits rather
- 40:34than, you know, whole songs some of the time.
- 40:37So if they, you know, if they swing and miss, there's a
- 40:40reason. Yeah.
- 40:41Right, well, it's it's funny we've we've got a lot of bin
- 40:44stuff, but we also have the six unanimous and two twos.
- 40:49So it's like this this feels like I I think it's playing out.
- 40:54Ultimately. I was what I'm trying to say
- 40:56ultimately is kind of how I thought it was.
- 40:58Even though there's only 58 songs in play here.
- 41:01It's deep and I've none of these ones that have gone in the bin.
- 41:06Nobody's gone. No, and I never would have, you
- 41:11know, like, right. So all right, so we're back
- 41:14around to me. Let me try.
- 41:28This is my last how I laugh track.
- 41:34How about if I don't wake up? Ironically, that is also my last
- 41:40one from How Will I Laugh? I've got it.
- 41:42Hey and. I don't win because I have it
- 41:46too. Wow.
- 41:47Hey. All.
- 41:48Right. So we're going to continue
- 41:50playing just like that up to seven.
- 41:53I, you know, I don't know, man. Sometimes it's cool when no one
- 41:57wins because that means we've exceeded expectations.
- 42:02You know, that's kind of cool. That's true.
- 42:05That is true. Damn.
- 42:09I didn't expect this one, I'll tell you that.
- 42:12Yeah, no, I wouldn't have had this either.
- 42:13That's a shocker or a sleeper. Yeah, me too.
- 42:17Didn't expect that one. I love a sleeper.
- 42:21Get it up here right? Who doesn't?
- 42:23Yeah. Get this up to the top with the
- 42:25rest of the thing and Corey where you want to go.
- 42:31I'm going to go for one of my favorite songs of theirs.
- 42:35I don't expect this one to make it, but it would be cool if at
- 42:38least one of you guys had an awful lights camera.
- 42:41Send me your money, yes? Yes, No.
- 42:47Well. At least we got just yes.
- 42:51That's the song. Really.
- 42:54Yes, I got. It that's the song that if I
- 42:58would have won, that was the one that I would have picked.
- 43:02You know, it's, it's there's stories here.
- 43:05There's double, double stories. First easy story is this is one
- 43:08of the videos that Beavis and Butthead played as well.
- 43:11So again, it implants on me at A at a young time in my life, 1213
- 43:16years old. And now they're, they're the
- 43:19next level of that story is because of watching it on Beavis
- 43:22and Butthead. I took it to school one day and
- 43:26welcome to the Church of suicidal.
- 43:29And I would do that part and my friend Paul would always like go
- 43:34suicidal and it's, it's fucking stupid.
- 43:38But because the way, the way I would perform it, he would
- 43:41always say suicidal and like correct me and it would piss me
- 43:45off so much. It's it's dumb, but like, oh
- 43:49God, I love this dumb song. Like it just it makes me happy.
- 43:53And and you know, I think about like the content of it in the
- 43:56video where it's kind of taking a raw net at, you know, those
- 43:59big mega churches that that are asking for your money.
- 44:03So like, I don't know, all that stuff kind of hits me in my
- 44:05sweet spot. So I'm glad I'm glad that it is
- 44:10in the conversation. And as of right now, since we
- 44:13have the seven unanimous, we're officially out of NTP.
- 44:16Nobody's going to win if we do nothing else.
- 44:19All three of these songs are in unless Christian really, really
- 44:23wants to put his foot down and send me your money.
- 44:25We'll, we'll see about that. But I, I I.
- 44:27I, I don't dislike the song. It's, it's for me, it's a bit
- 44:32infectious grooves. It's got the sort of you could,
- 44:36there's a, there's a big Trujillo base kind of on that.
- 44:39And yeah, I, I, I massively got into Infectious Grooves around
- 44:43the same time and I was quite deliberate about this being St.
- 44:48not Infectious Grooves. And I think that's kind of, that
- 44:51one veers towards the middle for me.
- 44:55So that's kind of, yeah. I didn't go for anything too
- 44:58funky in this because you never know, we might do Infectious
- 45:01Grooves. Yeah, that's true.
- 45:03Eventually that's true. We have all the.
- 45:05Bands in the world, so we'll get there.
- 45:08Right. Maybe in?
- 45:09Like 2042 or something. All right, Samir Nnamani gets
- 45:15A2, gets to hang around for now. And Christian.
- 45:20OK, they have a song that fits in a category where I have some
- 45:26songs that I always reference when I talk about songs like
- 45:29this, which is multi movement songs.
- 45:32So when I hear a multi movement song, I think of three songs.
- 45:36Bohemian Rhapsody, Paranoid Android, and slightly more less
- 45:43well known Tuner in the Brine by Silverchair.
- 45:46Oh yeah, and they have one on how I laugh.
- 45:51I counted the number of different riffs in the song and
- 45:55I think I got to 16, which is pretty, pretty impressive.
- 45:59It's suicycle mania. I mean, unfortunately I can't
- 46:04save you. As I mentioned, I'm out.
- 46:06I don't. Either I can't, but that was one
- 46:09of my final cuts. Yeah, again, just just the the
- 46:14way that it goes in so many different directions.
- 46:17Again, it's more of a thing than actually I like this as a song
- 46:20because in terms of a song, it doesn't go, you know, doesn't do
- 46:23a lot. But just all of the ref if you
- 46:26if you just want to listen to some kick ass guitar, it's it's
- 46:30amazing. Well, it's.
- 46:32Very. It's very St. as well.
- 46:34You know, that's that signature sound that they've got that you
- 46:37hear that and you go, OK, I know who that is.
- 46:40Sure, we've got nothing from Art of Rebellion into the
- 46:45conversation yet, so I'm going to trot my last chance at
- 46:48getting something from it in. How about accept my sacrifice?
- 46:58To know from I don't have it. Oh, it was it was a last cut.
- 47:04It was in for so long. And then it I literally swapped
- 47:09it out yesterday. That is get ready.
- 47:12Stomach haircut, banana, I think.
- 47:18Yeah, no, just missed it. Well, I can't save anybody
- 47:23else's rebellion picks, unfortunately.
- 47:25But away we go, Corey. I'll go back to lights camera
- 47:33here for one that also I brought in because of what we were
- 47:39discussing in terms of St. and having that vibe about it.
- 47:43I've got discos out murders in yes.
- 47:47No all. Right, it's a 2, but we've got
- 47:51ourselves a conversation here for what what is in and what is
- 47:55out. So, yeah.
- 47:58All right, Christian, OK. I haven't picked anything from
- 48:04Join the Army yet and I said that it's not my favorite so I
- 48:09don't have a lot, but I did think this.
- 48:12I'm surprised this one's lasted this long because I think it's
- 48:15the stand out track on the album and it's the title track Join
- 48:19the Army I. Don't have?
- 48:21Yep. OK, good.
- 48:23I've got it. That one came up when I asked
- 48:28the Internet, they they said that one as well.
- 48:32But I, I that's a two, yeah. A2 cool gets to.
- 48:36Hang around, at least for now, and the conversation gets a
- 48:42little deeper. So we'll see.
- 48:46All right, let me give a real count real quick. 12345678 Yeah,
- 48:52I feel like we got a couple more rounds in US here.
- 48:59How about I'll try it out? My light, last lights, camera
- 49:05track. How about lovely?
- 49:08Hell yeah. No, not.
- 49:11For me. Take that too again.
- 49:14Is that too funky? Too funky with this band?
- 49:20It's an infectious grooves argument again for me.
- 49:23Fair enough. Fair enough.
- 49:26Lovely, gets the two, and the conversation gets even harder.
- 49:30All right, Corey. So I want to I'm going to I'm
- 49:34going to stick off lights, camera and I Christian, I don't
- 49:38know if you would put this in the infectious grooves category
- 49:40as well. I this one, though, I felt like
- 49:43deserved to mention, not just in terms of, you know, when we go
- 49:46through and dump out. It's kind of controversial, but
- 49:51I got to I got to play it go and breakdown.
- 50:00Yeah. Yeah, I have it.
- 50:02Hey. Right, there's a team.
- 50:06Breakdown. Yeah, were you going to?
- 50:11Say something Christian. I was just going to say
- 50:14breakdown. Oh.
- 50:18I was like, did I cut him off? All right?
- 50:23Oh, God, now. Oh, all these twos now it's
- 50:27starting to make my head hurt, like seeing all this
- 50:30conversation. All right, Christian.
- 50:37Right. OK, I'm running now.
- 50:42Actually I don't have many left. I'll stay on lights, camera
- 50:46because I'm looking at my list and we've only got one in
- 50:48unanimous. So I'm going to try something
- 50:51else. Lost again?
- 50:55Got it. Wow, I can't make that
- 50:59unanimous. Obviously.
- 51:00I'm out on lights camera. And I should have, I should have
- 51:05remembered that, but never mind. All right, so we're back around
- 51:12to me. By the sounds of it, this
- 51:13probably can be our our last full round before we dump out.
- 51:19I'll go back to self-titled here.
- 51:23How about you cited politics? Oh, I don't.
- 51:29Have it. No me need that.
- 51:32It's a great song but I don't love it though.
- 51:35Bend. OK, Corey.
- 51:41I'll play my last one off of Join the Army war inside my
- 51:45head. Yeah, I.
- 51:46Got it. Yeah, Wow.
- 51:49Hey, wow. And the plot thickens.
- 51:56I mean, again, talk about wanting to be.
- 52:01It's always better to way overshoot what any of us think.
- 52:07And it also gets us to join the Army song in unanimously.
- 52:10So like, that can kind of come into play later, too.
- 52:15Yeah, that's cool. So.
- 52:18All right, Christian. OK, I will go back to first
- 52:31album. What a great album cover, but we
- 52:34haven't talked about album covers yet, OK, And album
- 52:37covers, I mean, apart from joining the army, which is just
- 52:41weird. I mean, that first album album
- 52:45when they're all hanging upside down on the fence, that is just
- 52:47absolutely iconic. I've already talked about how
- 52:50will I laugh that kind of they're all in there kind of
- 52:52skate clothes in the in the sun, but there's a menacing, you
- 52:55know, lights camera with that kind of cinema kind of right in
- 53:00iconic, absolutely iconic. Anyway, sorry I digress.
- 53:04So go back to the first album again.
- 53:07This does the thing because it starts off really fast, thrash
- 53:11punk and then it goes into like a almost like a swing.
- 53:15Well, I've got a little story to tell.
- 53:18It's the first song on the first album, Suicide and Alternative
- 53:22Slash. You'll be sorry.
- 53:23Yeah, I got it. It was one of my final cuts.
- 53:29It's, you know, it's the intro to the band in terms of full
- 53:33length. It's it, it does the thing.
- 53:37It's the fast, it's the kind of the medium tempo.
- 53:41It's the, it's the shouty. It's the sing singing it.
- 53:45Yeah. It's, it's a great introduction
- 53:47to to what you're going to get, basically.
- 53:49Yeah. Really good, yeah.
- 53:51And I mean, typically this that would have been a song I'd lead
- 53:55with, but you know, when you have the weight of
- 53:59institutionalized on you, you kind of got to start there.
- 54:03And then it was just like, well, there's a lot of tendency songs
- 54:07that do the thing. It made my list because it does
- 54:11the thing, but it also didn't need to be something I let off
- 54:14with. So.
- 54:15But we'll take that too. Yeah.
- 54:19We got that too and I guess that leaves us to the dump out and I
- 54:23only have a couple left here. So, starting at the top on
- 54:27self-titled Memories of Tomorrow.
- 54:31Nope. Nope.
- 54:33OK, moving on to join the army. Army.
- 54:37I can speak. Suicidal maniac.
- 54:43No. Nope.
- 54:46OK. The prisoner.
- 54:50Nope. Nope.
- 54:52All. Right.
- 54:52And last but not least, I feel your pain.
- 54:57Nope. Nope.
- 54:59OK, so we sword past everybody and we get 83 unanimously.
- 55:04There's no more on the table that we can we can get.
- 55:07But Corey, you can make the conversation harder.
- 55:11What do you got left? I've only got 2 left off of
- 55:15self-titled possessed. Nope and.
- 55:20Off of Join the Army psycho. Nope.
- 55:25Right and psycho. All right.
- 55:36What do you got left, Christian? Yeah, I.
- 55:39Only have two either, but I'm I'm later.
- 55:42I have give it revolution off lights, camera revolution and
- 55:50just trying to hit on our rebellion.
- 55:54I have tap into the power and that's what I slightly
- 55:58constitute myself because that has a funky Truffulo finger
- 56:01bass, but yeah. We covered almost all of lights,
- 56:09camera. The only two that didn't come up
- 56:12in conversation today were get whacked in a motion #13 just for
- 56:15the record. Yeah.
- 56:17Which is funny because like I wouldn't consider that like my
- 56:21favorite record of theirs, you know, like it, you know, I
- 56:25didn't feel like particularly drawn in the same way that I was
- 56:30to some some of the earlier records.
- 56:33But also it it's just interesting that that's the one
- 56:36we pulled the most from. I guess is is what I'm getting
- 56:38at easily, like very handily because they're still it's.
- 56:44I think, you know, from what I read, that that's the one that
- 56:47people consider to be their kind of their masterpiece, I guess.
- 56:51I mean, you know, maybe maybe I just didn't clock how much I
- 56:55liked it. I'd have to go back and and
- 56:56listen and hopefully I'm trying to get ahead.
- 56:59And so it'd be nice to like make space for to go back to bands
- 57:03like this that I thoroughly enjoyed and be able to listen to
- 57:06them at leisure instead of, you know, to make a list.
- 57:10All right, so we did great here, fellas.
- 57:13We we got 8 through unanimously. We've got subliminal
- 57:17institutionalized trip of the brain.
- 57:19You can't bring me down. I want more pledge your pledge,
- 57:22your allegiance. If I could read if I don't wake
- 57:24up and war inside my head. So let's look at these twos.
- 57:28This this just got more and more brutal as as it went on and you
- 57:33know, as as we landed a couple more of those those unanimous.
- 57:38It's like man, like the the conversation doesn't get as
- 57:42clinging anymore. So we've got the title track How
- 57:46Will I Laugh tomorrow, Which way to Free, which is a 2 from Art
- 57:50of Rebellion again, but we talk about album representation, so
- 57:55send me your money. Disc goes out, murders in join
- 57:59the Army, Lovely go and breakdown, Lost Again and
- 58:04suicide. It's an alternative.
- 58:06You'll be sorry. So for track 9, but we don't
- 58:13have anything from Rebellion, we've talked at length about
- 58:18feeling the need to have representation.
- 58:20Do we still feel that way? I mean, so for me personally it
- 58:30once we got to 8 album representation kind of goes out
- 58:34the window because there's not as much to play with.
- 58:38I do still see the argument though.
- 58:40For me, I just think there's so many twos that are like, yeah,
- 58:44that one, that one, that one that.
- 58:47I mean, I think you can go either way, but I would skew
- 58:50more towards kind of going through the songs individually.
- 58:54Then let's make sure the art of rebellion is represented because
- 58:59like, yeah, I think Justin, you were the one that said that was
- 59:02that was my least favorite as well.
- 59:04And that could probably be, you know, universal out of what we
- 59:07chose. And it's not saying the album is
- 59:09cheeks by any stretch, but when every other one is so damn good,
- 59:15it's not that that one's bad. It's just to get shuffled down
- 59:18the deck. Yeah.
- 59:19What? Do you think Christian?
- 59:21Yeah, I agree. I agree.
- 59:23Like I mentioned, there was a really strong feeling when I was
- 59:27putting my 20 together around album representation.
- 59:30But I completely agree what Corey said.
- 59:32When we've got 2 to play with, which way to free, is that
- 59:36really going to fight out some of the others just because it's
- 59:40on that album and I think right. But you know.
- 59:43You know, particularly because it's the last album as well.
- 59:46If this if this was on an album sort of towards the middle or
- 59:50early on, I think, OK, there's more of an but you can kind you
- 59:53can kind of say, well, it you know, we we could have done we
- 59:57could have done the first four albums and it wouldn't be in the
- 59:59conversation. Do you know what I mean?
- 1:00:00It still would be a a show about suicidal tendencies and you
- 1:00:05could have stopped that lights camera and that would be enough
- 1:00:07to get people into the band. So I don't have an issue with it
- 1:00:11with it not being with with nothing from rebellion being on
- 1:00:15there for those reasons, I guess.
- 1:00:17Yeah, I. Think if we're looking at six,
- 1:00:20maybe even 7, like with we have 3 or 4 songs that that we can
- 1:00:25play with. I I think it has a stronger
- 1:00:27chance. But just to kind of echo
- 1:00:29everybody's point, I don't think you know, does is I I told to
- 1:00:34send me your money story does which way to free really beat
- 1:00:36send me your money when it's got that that story, like, you know,
- 1:00:40does is it really stronger than, you know, anything that we've
- 1:00:44got left from, you know, self-titled like yeah, I don't
- 1:00:47know it. It's happy to be here.
- 1:00:50And, you know, I just don't see it beating out some of these
- 1:00:55songs. So, all right, let me run them
- 1:01:00down one more time and we can kind of start seeing where we go
- 1:01:05here. How will I laugh tomorrow?
- 1:01:08Send me your money. Disc goes out.
- 1:01:09Murders in. Join the Army.
- 1:01:11Lovely. Go and breakdown.
- 1:01:13Lost again and suicide. It's an alternative.
- 1:01:15You're sorry. Is there one that's kind of
- 1:01:17really sticking out to you, Corey, I thought for?
- 1:01:21Me I go send me your money and go and breakdown.
- 1:01:26Those are my 2 that kind of jump out at me.
- 1:01:29Also probably second tier. Lovely and how will I laugh
- 1:01:35tomorrow? But those are the 2 for me.
- 1:01:38Send me your money and go and breakdown we.
- 1:01:41Think Christian the. The only one I feel particularly
- 1:01:50strongly about, because this is one of the three that I thought
- 1:01:52was was a shoo in, was how I laugh tomorrow.
- 1:01:57But again, coming back to representation, the way I feel
- 1:02:01if, if we are, if we are now just talking about the first
- 1:02:03four, the way I feel that the numbers should go in terms of
- 1:02:07the story, it should be equal between self-titled How will I
- 1:02:11Laugh and Lights Camera and Join the Army less so.
- 1:02:15So we currently have three from the first album, 3 from How Will
- 1:02:18I laugh, one from join the Army and one from Lights camera.
- 1:02:22And I mentioned it on lights Lights camera, I think I
- 1:02:25understand is their kind of most acclaimed album.
- 1:02:29So I'm kind of torn between those two arguments.
- 1:02:31Really. If, if, if I take my second
- 1:02:32argument, we should have two from lights camera, because then
- 1:02:35that gives us 3331, which I think is the perfect balance.
- 1:02:39But in terms of songs, I would be disappointed if how will I
- 1:02:43laugh is not in there. I'm not particularly attached or
- 1:02:48or the other way with regards to any of the other songs.
- 1:02:51If you guys want to bat for send me a money.
- 1:02:54I don't have an issue with that. So it sounds like you have a bit
- 1:02:57of a bit of a a connection with that one to Justin.
- 1:03:00So I'm, I'm happy for that one to go in and then we've got one
- 1:03:05more to decide on, right? So.
- 1:03:07Let's do it Yeah, let's grab send me your money then seems
- 1:03:12like we have some concession there and then let's figure out
- 1:03:15this sounds like the discussion is between how will I laugh
- 1:03:17tomorrow versus go and breakdown, right Yeah.
- 1:03:24I. Mean I unless you know anyone
- 1:03:26feels strongly about any of the other ones.
- 1:03:28Those are the two. This and I had both.
- 1:03:32So. I could go either way.
- 1:03:36I do think, Christian, you make a hell of a point about album
- 1:03:39representation amongst the four. The layout of 333 from
- 1:03:45self-titled How Will I Laugh and Lights Camera feels, and that's
- 1:03:49not me trying to push for going breakdown over How Will I Laugh.
- 1:03:53But that does feel, it feels perfect having the album's
- 1:03:57represented that way. Because I think we all agree of
- 1:04:00those four, Join the Army is probably the weakest.
- 1:04:03Yeah, respectfully. Yeah, yeah, even though.
- 1:04:08I had like 5 songs from it yes I, I, I agree It's it's the the
- 1:04:13weakest yeah. I it's it's hard to argue math
- 1:04:20when math starts coming into it. We all kind of came to the same
- 1:04:24conclusion. So like, why fight that?
- 1:04:29And I mean, yes, it's easy for me to say because I'm the odd
- 1:04:33man out on both of these songs, but if we have something that
- 1:04:37feels right, we should probably go with that.
- 1:04:41And also, it does seem like a would seem like a shame that
- 1:04:46only two from Lights camera got through when we practically
- 1:04:49covered the entire record. There were only two songs that
- 1:04:54need any. None of us mentioned.
- 1:04:55Yeah. So I, you know, I, it sounds
- 1:04:59like I'm, I'm talking myself into going breakdown unless
- 1:05:03anybody would like to stand up at this point and really put
- 1:05:06their foot down. Sounds like I'm with it.
- 1:05:11Yeah, sounds. Like we're in agreement, so
- 1:05:13let's turn the heat up. Let me run this down and then
- 1:05:15we'll turn the heat up and get to the next hard part of the
- 1:05:18conversation. All right, here's our 10
- 1:05:21subliminal institutionalized trip of the brain.
- 1:05:23You can't bring me down. I want more Pledge of
- 1:05:25Allegiance. If I don't wake up war inside my
- 1:05:28head. Send me your money.
- 1:05:29Go and breakdown RN. I got to I'm not going to lie
- 1:05:33man, send me your money making it makes me so happy.
- 1:05:37Like the fact that I didn't have to use a final say to to to make
- 1:05:41that happen really makes me happy.
- 1:05:45It feels like this is A1A1 BI mean, you know, maybe somebody's
- 1:05:50got something else up their sleeves.
- 1:05:52Which one do you think is the one?
- 1:05:54Corey I. Think it's got to be
- 1:05:59institutionalized, right? I mean, that's that's where my
- 1:06:04brain goes anyway. It's not if I'm going to turn
- 1:06:06them on. If I were to pick one song and
- 1:06:08be like, this is the one that I'm going to play, gun to my
- 1:06:11head, that probably wouldn't be the first one I would go to.
- 1:06:15It would be on the Rushmore. But I feel like that's the one
- 1:06:18though. What do you think?
- 1:06:20Christian Oh, there's there's two and it feels like, you know,
- 1:06:26like, what do they call it? You know, like a theatre mask
- 1:06:30when there's one, there's two side two faces.
- 1:06:32Yeah, I can't remember what they call it Juno mask or something
- 1:06:36like that. It's institutionalized on one
- 1:06:38side and it's you can't bring me down on the other.
- 1:06:42Oh, yeah. And it's it's the, it's the,
- 1:06:46it's the the punk, the the young upstarts, the, you know,
- 1:06:52disruptors versus the kind of later, you know, accomplished
- 1:06:58musicians, the thrash, the the massive anthemic song, you know,
- 1:07:05haven't even mentioned Rocky George, who is phenomenal
- 1:07:08guitarist. It's those two and I, I, you
- 1:07:15know, I think you can make an argument for either it, you
- 1:07:20know, because it, it's the two sides of the band.
- 1:07:22It's, you know, it's, it's the first song from this 10.
- 1:07:27Sorry. It's the first album from this
- 1:07:2810 versus the last album from this 10.
- 1:07:31And it, it tells the story and it's really difficult to pick.
- 1:07:34If I was to say to somebody, listen to this one song to know
- 1:07:38whether you like Suicidal Tendencies, I'd have a real hard
- 1:07:41time picking which one of those. I'll say.
- 1:07:46That that's all I can say. I'm on the fence I.
- 1:07:50Yeah. So my 1A1B was institutionalized
- 1:07:54and subliminal. So I mean we've all got
- 1:07:57institutionalized on our list. So I mean we could take the easy
- 1:08:00way out here. But here's another thing I'll
- 1:08:02add is sometimes you kind of put forward the one song and you
- 1:08:07kind of worry about, oh, you know, the the end of year is, is
- 1:08:11somebody going to Papoo that because it's the song that
- 1:08:14everybody knows. Yeah, maybe maybe everybody
- 1:08:19knows institutionalized, but also maybe they don't like we're
- 1:08:23talking about 1983 here, right? It's it isn't it isn't a
- 1:08:28guarantee that people have heard institutionalized.
- 1:08:33So there's that. And also it just rips like it's
- 1:08:37just, it's just good. And sometimes, like I said.
- 1:08:42Tonight it's it's it's like nothing else.
- 1:08:44Yeah, it's like nothing else. And I.
- 1:08:46Sometimes, you know, sometimes I like to use the number one as a
- 1:08:50chance to go, hey, man, remember this song, You should listen to
- 1:08:54it again. And I feel like
- 1:08:57institutionalized possibly maybe one of those songs that people
- 1:09:00have either forgotten or should just revisit or is the one that
- 1:09:08that really, hey, you've never heard of this band.
- 1:09:11Hey, check this out. This is this is cool.
- 1:09:13They do a lot of different things in it.
- 1:09:15And plus, Hey, man, we we already mentioned this.
- 1:09:17Fred Durst got a lyric from it. So some people would call that a
- 1:09:22plus. I call it a plus.
- 1:09:23Why not? I look, I, I feel like it was on
- 1:09:29all three of our lists. We got to go with
- 1:09:31institutionalized. I don't think there's a wrong
- 1:09:33answer here, but I I do think like that's the most right we're
- 1:09:37going to be is. As you were talking through
- 1:09:40that, as you were talking through that, I was thinking how
- 1:09:42much I like this. This this past year's best of
- 1:09:46was the first one that I listened to and I I had an
- 1:09:50absolute blast, thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.
- 1:09:53And I was just thinking, if I listen to next year's and
- 1:09:57institutionalized kind of makes it into like the top, top 10 or
- 1:10:02whatever, I'll be absolutely pumped.
- 1:10:04So, and I think it's probably got a better chance of standing
- 1:10:08out as being as pricking people's ears up.
- 1:10:11Then you can't bring my other choice would be you can't bring
- 1:10:13me down, which might just be dismissed as kind of just, you
- 1:10:16know, if it's if you've not heard before, just another
- 1:10:18thrash song and you know, it's not.
- 1:10:20But I definitely think institutionalized will make
- 1:10:23people sit up and and take notice.
- 1:10:24So that kind of you've sold me. There we go.
- 1:10:30So let's do it. Let's lock in institutionalized.
- 1:10:32I'll get it going underneath us. I'll run down this list one last
- 1:10:35go and we'll get on out of here. So institutionalized is going to
- 1:10:39be our number one and subliminal trip at the brain.
- 1:10:45You can't bring me down. I want more.
- 1:10:47Pledge your leads LED your allegiance.
- 1:10:49I don't know what it is about the word allegiance today.
- 1:10:51I can't say it if I don't wake up war inside my head.
- 1:10:54Send me your money and go and breakdown rounds out our 10.
- 1:10:58Beautifully done. And with that, let's let
- 1:11:01institutionalized get a moment in the sun and like, maybe you
- 1:11:06should talk about it. You'll feel a lot better.
- 1:11:08I go, no, it's OK. You know, I'll figure it out.
- 1:11:10Just leave me alone. I'll figure it out.
- 1:11:14You know, I'll just work. Just so good there we go
- 1:11:19institutionalized and we're not going to be institutionalized.
- 1:11:23I mean, maybe we could maybe we are crazy for like trying to
- 1:11:25make lists of of bands that people can yell at, yell at us
- 1:11:29about. But you know, we did it and
- 1:11:32we've turned you on to Suicidal tendencies and for that you're
- 1:11:34very welcome. I'm.
- 1:11:36Going to go and get a Pepsi. Just one.
- 1:11:38Pepsi. Just one, you know, maybe you
- 1:11:43agree with our list, That would be cool and you could say so.
- 1:11:46Now on Spotify, we can actually have a little conversation.
- 1:11:50If you want to leave a comment there, I can reply.
- 1:11:52You can reply. Yeah, that's right.
- 1:11:54Threads are now available on Spotify.
- 1:11:56So if that's where you're listening, awesome.
- 1:11:58If you're going to do that, though, please consider giving a
- 1:12:01five star review. As a matter of fact, please do
- 1:12:03give a five star review. It does help us get seen in the
- 1:12:06algorithm, which would be super appreciative.
- 1:12:09But same thing for Apple Podcasts, which I believe a
- 1:12:11majority of you are still listening on.
- 1:12:13So if you're listening on Apple Podcasts, five star review would
- 1:12:16be super helpful. Just say, hey, I listen to the
- 1:12:19suicidal tendencies episode. Here's what I would have gone
- 1:12:22with or awesome list. Or hey, your list is dumb, but I
- 1:12:25love the episode. However you want to do it.
- 1:12:27Just if you're going to do it, please give five stars.
- 1:12:31If you'd like to help the next level monetarily cost you a
- 1:12:35dollar. But patreon.com/oh.
- 1:12:37Hi, Justin's a way to get in. I should mention some of you are
- 1:12:41international listeners, as is Christian.
- 1:12:45That's how he got here. It's a dollar American.
- 1:12:48I am an American and that's why I always say a dollar, but I'm
- 1:12:52also obviously very much in my own head and very much in, you
- 1:12:57know, thinking in American. So it's a dollar American to to
- 1:13:01get in. I don't know what the conversion
- 1:13:02rate is for where you're listening from, but it costs a
- 1:13:05dollar American to get in the door.
- 1:13:07It gets you the after the fact conversation that we're about to
- 1:13:09have. It gets you the program before
- 1:13:11the rest of the world, the ever increasingly or decreasing
- 1:13:15episodes of Oh, hi, Justin. I'm hoping to make space for
- 1:13:18that. You know, no promises there.
- 1:13:20Other things will probably be coming to the Patreon, you know,
- 1:13:23as as time passes on. I have ideas, but you know, I'm
- 1:13:27an idea man, not always an execution man.
- 1:13:30I'm trying to do better at that, but it also gains.
- 1:13:32I don't know how that. Feels right.
- 1:13:34It also gains you access to the discord, the Legion stupid
- 1:13:38discord. There's certain channels that
- 1:13:40are only available to patrons of the Ohio Justin Patreon.
- 1:13:45So consider that. And if you don't want that, but
- 1:13:49you do want to join the discord, cool, that's cool.
- 1:13:52We're the Legion's stupid. You should be able to search
- 1:13:54this up. If not, ask for a link and I'll
- 1:13:56get you that link and you can come join in.
- 1:13:58We grow trees in there and I literally mean we're growing a
- 1:14:03digital tree in one of the channels.
- 1:14:06You can count in there. There's a counting channel
- 1:14:08that's fun. There's also the D Program
- 1:14:11channel where you can come in and talk about episodes, but
- 1:14:13underneath that there's the Music League, which is a lot of
- 1:14:16fun. Even though I never win, I'm
- 1:14:19very bad at it. I try not to be sour about it.
- 1:14:22Sometimes I'm sour about it, sorry.
- 1:14:24And then there's also the Find Finding Panelists channel
- 1:14:28underneath that, which is exactly how it sounds.
- 1:14:31Hey, I want to come on the show. This is a band I'd like to talk
- 1:14:34about. Does anybody else want to do it?
- 1:14:36And a lot of episodes come together that way nowadays.
- 1:14:40So hop in there and tell me what you want to talk about.
- 1:14:43And that's one way to sign up for the show.
- 1:14:48The best way, though, you can help me is by telling somebody
- 1:14:50that you listen. Hey, I listen to Deprogrammed
- 1:14:52and you should too. And with that suicidal tendency
- 1:14:56tendencies, God, man, I can't talk today.
- 1:14:58Learn and love them people. We'll see you next week.
