- 20:01the dude. We're here Saturdays at 1 p .m. bringing
- 20:03you vinyl, punk, metal, hardcore, hard rock,
- 20:06all on records from 1977 to 1997. Today's a special
- 20:11show. The theme is horror. We played some cramps
- 20:15for you. That was from the newly released Gravest
- 20:17Gravy LP. Unreleased studio tracks from the October
- 20:211977 Memphis recording sessions that un... Leashed
- 20:25Human Fly. It was mixed by Alex Chilton, Poison
- 20:29Ivy, and Luxe Interior. And it's on glow in the
- 20:32dark vinyl. Very Halloween. I've got the lights
- 20:34out here in the studio watching this vinyl glow.
- 20:38The song we played was Rockin' Bones. After that,
- 20:41we got into some Danzig. Starting with the Misfits,
- 20:45we played Last Caress from the Beware 12 -inch
- 20:49EP, Import, from 1980. All of these are original
- 20:53pressings. After that, we played Vampyra from
- 20:56Walk Among Us. Then we got into some Sam Hayne
- 20:59with Horror Biz from Initium. I bought that record
- 21:02at Generation Records in New York. If you haven't
- 21:05been, wow, one of my favorite record stores I've
- 21:08ever visited. And trust me, I have seen a lot.
- 21:11It's incredible. After that, from November Coming
- 21:14Fire, Sam Hayne 3, we played To Walk the Night,
- 21:19which always has a Halloween spooky vibe to me.
- 21:22Actually, when I was a kid, My friend and I,
- 21:25we did a Haunted House at his house and we played
- 21:29that song on a loop in the background. And we
- 21:32finished off that block of music with Danzig,
- 21:34Her Black Wings from Danzig 2, Lucifuge. Quick
- 21:38story, seeing Danzig live, I think it was on
- 21:40the How the Gods Kill tour, so early 90s at the
- 21:45Warfield in San Francisco. Went with some friends,
- 21:48we weren't old enough to drive, so an older brother's...
- 21:52friend took us. He was a pro surfer at the time.
- 21:56His nickname was Daryl, because in his words,
- 21:59he's a derelict. So his nickname was Daryl. And
- 22:02he took us up there. And so as soon as we got
- 22:04to the Warfield, he's like, all right, later,
- 22:06guys, I'm going to have fun. I'll see you at
- 22:07the end of the show. Give you a ride home. So
- 22:10we're getting to the end of the show. Danzig
- 22:12is about to wrap up his set. And we're like,
- 22:14where's Daryl? You know, we're gonna need a ride
- 22:16home. We live a long way from San Francisco and
- 22:18we're You know, probably, I think at that point,
- 22:2114 or 15 years old. And out of nowhere, my friend
- 22:23goes, oh, there he is. And we look up at the
- 22:26stage and Daryl is on top of a half stack of
- 22:29Marshall amplifiers and jumping off the stage,
- 22:33stage diving, soaring through the air. And that
- 22:35was our ride home. We are fundraising here at

- 49:53I had the lights out in the studio getting in
- 49:55the vibe of Halloween spooky. Speaking of the
- 49:59studio, my walls in here are covered in posters
- 50:01and flyers, and one in particular I want to call
- 50:04out because we played some Danzig earlier in
- 50:06the show. So I got a flyer here on the wall from
- 50:09October 28th, 1992 when Danzig, White Zombie,
- 50:13and Caius played in Santa Cruz at the Civic Auditorium.
- 50:17What a show that must have been. Bummed I wasn't
- 50:20there. If you were there, you're a legend. I'd
- 50:22love to hear some stories. Come on the show.
- 50:24Tell me about it. Last song we played in that
- 50:26block was from Guar. That was Vlad the Impaler
- 50:29from the Scum Dogs of the Universe LP. And I
- 50:32wanted to play some Guar because costumes, right?
- 50:35I mean, it's Halloween. Kids are dressing up.
- 50:38Guar love to dress up. I saw Guar a few times
- 50:41live at the Edge in Palo Alto, at the Warfield
- 50:43in San Francisco, some great, great shows in
- 50:46the 90s. And the tradition with Guar back then,
- 50:49you'd go to the show in a white t -shirt and
- 50:52you would get covered in the fake blood and fake...
- 50:57and pus and whatever other fake juices they were
- 51:00spewing from the stage you get covered in it
- 51:02and then you'd go to school the next day with
- 51:05your shirt covered in that stuff and it was like
- 51:08a trophy it was like a badge of honor that I
- 51:10was at the guar show and I got covered in juice
