Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_01: Hey, this is Kirk Winstein from Crowbar, and you're watching CMS-TV.
- 0:19SPEAKER_00: It's Testament right here on your classic metal show with the Disciples of the Watch.
- 0:25SPEAKER_00: That one going out by request to Demolich.
- 0:27SPEAKER_00: Just before that,
- 0:28SPEAKER_00: we heard Metallica with All Nightmare Long from the Death Magnetic release
- 0:35SPEAKER_00: for Floyd Gundoli.
- 0:37SPEAKER_00: And then Halloween kicking off that block there with The King for a Thousand Years
- 0:43SPEAKER_00: for Chris, that 15-minute epic.
- 0:46SPEAKER_01: I did not realize it was that long.
- 0:48SPEAKER_01: I would not have requested that.
- 0:51SPEAKER_01: I just was listening to Halloween all week this week,
- 0:53SPEAKER_01: and that was the first thought that came into my head.
- 0:57SPEAKER_01: I did not realize it was that long.
- 0:59SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
- 0:59SPEAKER_01: You got a long song.
- 1:01SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, it was long.
- 1:03SPEAKER_01: It was a long song.
- 1:04SPEAKER_01: I'm in there.
- 1:05SPEAKER_01: I'm processing shit.
- 1:06SPEAKER_01: I'm like, holy shit, that song's still playing.
- 1:08SPEAKER_01: I must be working incredibly fast tonight.
- 1:11SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:11SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:15SPEAKER_01: But all good.
- 1:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's why I texted you.
- 1:16SPEAKER_01: I was like, hey, I'm back.
- 1:18SPEAKER_01: I was back in the middle of the Metallica song.
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that Metallica song was almost eight minutes as well.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was going to say.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: So just two songs and there was over 20 minutes long.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: That's right.
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: All good.
- 1:32SPEAKER_02: Anyway, so there you go.
- 1:33SPEAKER_02: You got some metal up your ass.
- 1:37SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 1:37SPEAKER_02: Yes, you did.
- 1:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah, man.
- 1:40SPEAKER_02: So you and I watched a documentary this week.
- 1:45SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 1:46SPEAKER_02: The Widower.
- 1:48SPEAKER_02: Speaking of horror movies, Jesus.
- 1:51SPEAKER_00: This is a documentary that's on Netflix.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: If you have Netflix, my nephew actually recommended this to me.
- 1:57SPEAKER_00: He says, oh, there's a pretty good documentary on Netflix called The Widower.
- 2:02SPEAKER_00: You should watch this.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: And so I thought, hey, I got nothing to do here.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: I'm going to flip that thing on.
- 2:08SPEAKER_00: I'm going to watch it.
- 2:08SPEAKER_00: I was just like, I got two thirds of the way through it.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: And I text Chris.
- 2:13SPEAKER_00: I was just like, you got to watch this.
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: This is pretty fucked up.
- 2:16SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was really fucked up.
- 2:20SPEAKER_02: So, you know,
- 2:22SPEAKER_02: what it is,
- 2:22SPEAKER_02: is some guy, all the way back in the 70s, he went through how many wives?
- 2:28SPEAKER_02: Six wives?
- 2:29SPEAKER_02: I think six or seven, yeah.
- 2:31SPEAKER_02: I think six wives and four of them ended up, quote-unquote, mysteriously dead.
- 2:37SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 2:38SPEAKER_02: And he was still walking the streets.
- 2:41SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: And it was just kind of a bizarre thing, but the last...
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: The last one that suffered at his hand, allegedly, was the one that did him in.
- 2:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 2:58SPEAKER_02: But it took so long to prosecute this guy.
- 3:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that last one took, what, nine years?
- 3:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the funny thing is, is his wife's
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: daughter, she was pregnant when...
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: When he was arrested for the death of her mother.
- 3:20SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: And her daughter was now like nine years old when he finally went to try.
- 3:29SPEAKER_02: It took nine years.
- 3:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:31SPEAKER_02: It was crazy.
- 3:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:33SPEAKER_00: But the, the thing that both you and I agreed about this documentary, just a weird looking dude.
- 3:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 3:42SPEAKER_01: How this guy got six wives is incredible.
- 3:44SPEAKER_01: That's the real story here.
- 3:46SPEAKER_01: Not that he killed four of them, that he was able to get six.
- 3:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 3:51SPEAKER_01: He's an oddball.
- 3:53SPEAKER_01: I've got the trailer right here.
- 3:54SPEAKER_01: You want me to put the trailer on?
- 3:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah, go ahead.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: Very strange, very strange documentary indeed.
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: I hadn't heard about this guy.
- 4:05SPEAKER_00: Me either.
- 4:06SPEAKER_02: But just weird, man.
- 4:07SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 4:09SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
- 4:14SPEAKER_03: 911 emergency.
- 4:28SPEAKER_03: In my 30 years as a journalist,
- 4:31SPEAKER_03: the case of Thomas Randolph stands out as the most bizarre,
- 4:36SPEAKER_03: insane, surprising story that I have ever done.
- 4:41SPEAKER_03: Sharon Randolph had died and the intruder Had been shot dead.
- 4:46SPEAKER_03: And that's when I just pushed him.
- 4:47SPEAKER_03: Boom, boom, boom, boom.
- 4:49SPEAKER_03: Right out of the gate, there were a few things that weren't adding up.
- 4:51SPEAKER_03: We needed to dig further.
- 4:52SPEAKER_03: Randolph had six wives.
- 4:55SPEAKER_03: Four of them were dead.
- 4:57SPEAKER_01: Hold on.
- 4:58SPEAKER_01: I'm going back for a second.
- 5:01SPEAKER_01: Look at this guy.
- 5:03SPEAKER_01: He doesn't look like a guy.
- 5:05SPEAKER_01: He was a very charming and litty person.
- 5:09SPEAKER_01: I fell for that at first.
- 5:10SPEAKER_01: This innocent guy.
- 5:11SPEAKER_01: This jovial.
- 5:13SPEAKER_01: That does not look like a guy.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's got the high cheekbones.
- 5:18SPEAKER_02: He kind of almost looks like a transgender person.
- 5:21SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he really does.
- 5:24SPEAKER_01: He doesn't look like a dude at all.
- 5:27SPEAKER_01: But apparently he was.
- 5:28SPEAKER_01: Six wives.
- 5:29SPEAKER_01: My goodness.
- 5:30SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
- 5:32SPEAKER_03: Little smart, funny dude.
- 5:34SPEAKER_03: This guy's dangerous, and you don't know what he's planning on next.
- 5:38SPEAKER_03: I'm a nice guy.
- 5:39SPEAKER_03: I'm cocky, but it certainly doesn't make me a murderer.
- 5:44SPEAKER_03: He's claiming he's innocent.
- 5:45SPEAKER_03: They know damn well I didn't shoot you.
- 5:49SPEAKER_03: Or perhaps he's a criminal genius.
- 5:51SPEAKER_03: I told you we're going to become infamous together.
- 5:53SPEAKER_03: Prosecutors filed murder charges.
- 5:55SPEAKER_03: I think about my mom every day.
- 6:02SPEAKER_03: They had a hundred suspicions that her death was murder.
- 6:06SPEAKER_03: He's just going to kill somebody else's daughters.
- 6:08SPEAKER_03: And I said, she's dead, isn't she?
- 6:11SPEAKER_03: I'm the victim of this.
- 6:13SPEAKER_03: That's an insane person.
- 6:15SPEAKER_03: That's a psychotic person.
- 6:16SPEAKER_03: Am I beautiful?
- 6:17SPEAKER_03: He's manipulated countless people.
- 6:19SPEAKER_03: He was facing the death penalty.
- 6:23SPEAKER_03: Thomas Randolph played the system like a fiddle.
- 6:28SPEAKER_01: In the end,
- 6:30SPEAKER_03: I'm going to win.
- 6:39SPEAKER_02: He's got a joker's mouth.
- 6:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he does.
- 6:42SPEAKER_02: You notice how his mouth turns down at the sides?
- 6:45SPEAKER_02: It's really weird.
- 6:46SPEAKER_02: He's a real creep.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: Now, back that, I don't want you to play anything, but I want you to back it up.
- 6:54SPEAKER_00: This is kind of relatable to what we were talking about in the first segment.
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: Just keep going back.
- 6:59SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you when to stop.
- 7:01SPEAKER_00: Keep going.
- 7:02SPEAKER_01: Keep going.
- 7:09SPEAKER_01: Still going.
- 7:10SPEAKER_02: Keep going.
- 7:14SPEAKER_02: Right here?
- 7:15SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 7:16SPEAKER_02: Keep going.
- 7:17SPEAKER_01: What are you looking for?
- 7:18SPEAKER_02: I'm looking for the picture of his last wife.
- 7:32SPEAKER_01: Is that her?
- 7:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 7:34SPEAKER_02: That's who you'll be dating if you're out trolling on a Saturday night.
- 7:40SPEAKER_01: Come on, Agnes.
- 7:42SPEAKER_02: Is that your speed right there?
- 7:45SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying I wouldn't.
- 7:50SPEAKER_02: So that's what a woman in your age group,
- 7:55SPEAKER_02: an average woman in your age group, is this who you see yourself with?
- 8:02SPEAKER_01: For one night, why not?
- 8:03SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but it's not going to be one night.
- 8:05SPEAKER_02: You know it's not going to be one night.
- 8:07SPEAKER_02: Three, four dates, why not?
- 8:11SPEAKER_01: A couple of dinners, a blowjob, and fucker once.
- 8:13SPEAKER_01: A couple of dinners?
- 8:15SPEAKER_02: Wow, look at you, Mr.
- 8:16SPEAKER_02: Generous.
- 8:17SPEAKER_01: Well, we said three to four.
- 8:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know.
- 8:23SPEAKER_02: I just don't,
- 8:24SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 8:25SPEAKER_02: I couldn't even imagine,
- 8:26SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 8:27SPEAKER_00: what it would be like to date a woman who's quote-unquote age appropriate.
- 8:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, it would involve alcohol.
- 8:36SPEAKER_01: That's how it happens.
- 8:38SPEAKER_02: And that's what you're trying to avoid.
- 8:40SPEAKER_01: Yes, that's what I'm saying.
- 8:41SPEAKER_01: That's why it's not happening.
- 8:44SPEAKER_01: It would definitely require some alcohol.
- 8:46SPEAKER_01: I'm not going into that sober.
- 8:47SPEAKER_01: Are you kidding?
- 8:54SPEAKER_01: You make me laugh.
- 8:57SPEAKER_01: That's like four or five shots before you go to the bar.
- 9:00SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 9:01SPEAKER_01: And then you have a couple more shots at the bar.
- 9:04SPEAKER_01: And then if she's talking you up, then you're buying her shots too.
- 9:07SPEAKER_01: It's like, let's just keep pounding drinks before I pound your ugly ass.
- 9:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 9:15SPEAKER_02: I keep drinking until you start looking better.
- 9:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 9:19SPEAKER_01: Just imagine though, she's taken off the pants.
- 9:21SPEAKER_01: She's got them old ass panties.
- 9:24SPEAKER_01: They're like the bloomers shiny, but they got frills on the, on the, around the legs and shit.
- 9:31SPEAKER_00: They don't have any cut to them at all.
- 9:33SPEAKER_00: They're just bloomers.
- 9:36SPEAKER_01: Look at that pussy.
- 9:37SPEAKER_01: It looks like a fucking Arby's double on the floor.
- 9:41SPEAKER_01: Just a mess.
- 9:44SPEAKER_01: Just a mess.
- 9:45SPEAKER_01: Looks like a light tan comforter at a Holiday Inn or something.
- 9:55SPEAKER_01: Ugly, ugly pussy.
- 9:57SPEAKER_01: And you're just like, I got a fucker anyway.
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: I'm here.
- 10:01SPEAKER_02: I'm going to do this.
- 10:02SPEAKER_02: I'm doing it.
- 10:03SPEAKER_02: I'm already here.
- 10:04SPEAKER_02: Fuck it.
- 10:05SPEAKER_02: It's just like your doctor's appointments.
- 10:07SPEAKER_02: I'm going to go through with this.
- 10:09SPEAKER_02: I'm going to, I'm going to see it to the end.
- 10:11SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but you don't go out of this and go,
- 10:12SPEAKER_01: you guys, I'm going to believe the pussy I got tonight.
- 10:16SPEAKER_01: This is one that you don't tell anybody.
- 10:18SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 10:19SPEAKER_01: You don't tell a soul about this one.
- 10:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 10:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 10:22SPEAKER_01: Something happened.
- 10:24SPEAKER_01: I went out on a date.
- 10:25SPEAKER_01: It didn't go anywhere.
- 10:26SPEAKER_01: That's what you tell people.
- 10:30SPEAKER_01: You hire this guy to kill her.
- 10:31SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 10:32SPEAKER_01: Allegedly.
- 10:38SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 10:39SPEAKER_02: So that's what you're up against on a Saturday night out trolling around.
- 10:43SPEAKER_01: You say that like it's a negative and I'll put this to the chat room.
- 10:47SPEAKER_01: I admit she's not a, she's not a looker or whatever, but she's attainable.
- 10:53SPEAKER_01: And she's the kind that you're not going to spend a great deal of money attaining.
- 10:57SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 10:58SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's the thing.
- 11:01SPEAKER_01: At this age, it's, you know, it's pussy on a budget.
- 11:06SPEAKER_01: You know, you're not looking to spend a bunch of money.
- 11:09SPEAKER_02: Now, there's a headline for you.
- 11:12SPEAKER_02: Pussy on a budget.
- 11:12SPEAKER_02: Pussy on a budget.
- 11:14SPEAKER_02: It sounds like you're staying at a microtel or something.
- 11:19SPEAKER_02: It's lodging on a budget.
- 11:21SPEAKER_02: Pussy on a budget.
- 11:25SPEAKER_01: Floyd in the chat room, a practice gal.
- 11:27SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 11:35SPEAKER_02: That's a good line.
- 11:36SPEAKER_02: That just made me laugh.
- 11:38SPEAKER_02: Pussy on a budget.
- 11:39SPEAKER_01: Well, it is.
- 11:40SPEAKER_01: I mean, you're not going to have to take this one to a nice steakhouse.
- 11:47SPEAKER_01: You could probably get by with the Sizzler Taco Bell with this one.
- 11:52SPEAKER_02: Don't you think?
- 11:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 11:54SPEAKER_01: What do you think?
- 11:55SPEAKER_01: What restaurant do you have to take this one for to close that deal?
- 12:01SPEAKER_01: To close the deal?
- 12:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 12:03SPEAKER_01: No bigger.
- 12:03SPEAKER_01: I say no more than Applebee's.
- 12:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 12:06SPEAKER_02: Chili's, Applebee's.
- 12:07SPEAKER_01: Chili's, any of that stuff.
- 12:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 12:09SPEAKER_02: How about is Longhorn too highbrow?
- 12:12SPEAKER_02: Oh, yes, please.
- 12:15SPEAKER_01: Longhorn.
- 12:15SPEAKER_01: What are you kidding?
- 12:18SPEAKER_01: You don't take her to Longhorn unless you figure out
- 12:20SPEAKER_01: that she's literally sucking your balls through your dick.
- 12:22SPEAKER_02: Holy shit, that's hysterical.
- 12:24SPEAKER_02: Not the place that you and I and Mean Metal
- 12:27SPEAKER_00: X went to.
- 12:27SPEAKER_01: No, please.
- 12:30SPEAKER_01: Maybe the parking lot.
- 12:32SPEAKER_01: Maybe you could sniff the beef.
- 12:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 12:35SPEAKER_01: Maybe eat out of the dumpster in the back or something.
- 12:40SPEAKER_01: For this one, come on.
- 12:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah, good one, Fuego.
- 12:45SPEAKER_01: Walmart food court.
- 12:50SPEAKER_01: Sebastian Bach is throwing another onstage temper tantrum,
- 12:54SPEAKER_01: waging war on AI like he's John Connor.
- 12:57SPEAKER_01: Or is he just screaming at clouds because the world left him behind in 1989?
- 13:03SPEAKER_01: Meanwhile, Howard Stern barely broadcasts anymore, but he'll still take your subscription cash.

- 14:30SPEAKER_01: Thanks, can't wait.
- 14:32SPEAKER_01: All right, well, let's talk about the present, shall we?
- 14:36SPEAKER_00: All right, let's talk about the present.
- 14:38SPEAKER_01: Since you mentioned or played Metallica, let's talk about Metallica.
- 14:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're at the sphere this week, correct?
- 14:45SPEAKER_02: They're at the sphere, yes.
- 14:47SPEAKER_01: And it's the weirdest damn thing with this sphere.
- 14:52SPEAKER_01: Every single person that I have seen online that went
- 14:56SPEAKER_01: to this thing says it was fucking amazing.
- 15:00SPEAKER_01: And that's cool.
- 15:02SPEAKER_01: But every video that I've watched looks terrible.
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: So I'm imagining this is one of those times when you really have to be there
- 15:12SPEAKER_01: or else you're just not going to get it.
- 15:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, you're not going to get the full effect by trying to take a video of it.
- 15:19SPEAKER_01: Because to me, And we'll play some video.
- 15:24SPEAKER_01: It's exactly what we said before.
- 15:27SPEAKER_01: It's the visual is so overwhelming that you can't even see the band.
- 15:35SPEAKER_01: Like the band looks so incredibly small on the stage compared to the visual.
- 15:41SPEAKER_01: The visual looks cool, but I don't know.
- 15:46SPEAKER_01: I don't know that I'm taking a mortgage payment to go see this.
- 15:49SPEAKER_01: No fucking way.
- 15:51SPEAKER_01: You know, but here, I'll put it on the screen here.
- 15:56SPEAKER_01: So here you go.
- 15:57SPEAKER_01: Play a little Master of Puppets.
- 15:59SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 15:59SPEAKER_01: Get this on the screen here.
- 16:02SPEAKER_01: Let's check it out.
- 16:02SPEAKER_01: This is the night one of the sphere, Metallica.
- 16:11SPEAKER_01: Now look at how tiny the stage looks compared to the scenery.
- 16:16SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean,
- 16:17SPEAKER_00: obviously that's stadium-style seating that takes you all the way up into
- 16:22SPEAKER_00: the rafters.
- 16:24SPEAKER_01: But how far?
- 16:25SPEAKER_01: I mean, that doesn't look like that's that far.
- 16:29SPEAKER_01: Honestly, what's that look like?
- 16:30SPEAKER_01: It's about 30 rows?
- 16:32SPEAKER_01: Seriously.
- 16:34SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking it might be further than that.
- 16:36SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking maybe more like 50 rows.
- 16:40SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 16:42SPEAKER_01: I mean, those guys are small enough,
- 16:44SPEAKER_01: at least in the video, that you need binoculars to see them.
- 16:48SPEAKER_01: You sort of see dots on the screen, but you have no idea who they are or what they're doing.
- 16:54SPEAKER_01: But this skyline is massive.
- 16:58SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
- 16:59[music]
- 18:14SPEAKER_01: See, correct me if I'm wrong,
- 18:16SPEAKER_01: but even just watching it, all you're doing is watching the video.
- 18:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah, basically, yeah.
- 18:21SPEAKER_01: You're not looking at all at the stage.
- 18:22SPEAKER_01: It's only about the video.
- 18:24SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because you're surrounded by massive, you know, digital screens.
- 18:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:32SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 18:33SPEAKER_01: I'm...
- 18:35SPEAKER_01: I don't feel it personally.
- 18:37SPEAKER_02: I mean, would you be just as happy to go to the sphere with this display
- 18:43SPEAKER_02: but not necessarily have a live band on the stage?
- 18:48SPEAKER_02: I think you would.
- 18:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, the same thing.
- 18:51SPEAKER_02: I think you'd be fine to see a movie or something like this.
- 18:54SPEAKER_00: Well, they show The Wizard of Oz there, the actual original Wizard of Oz.
- 19:00SPEAKER_01: I think I'd rather see that than have a band playing full blast that I can't see.
- 19:08SPEAKER_01: That's the thing.
- 19:08SPEAKER_01: And I mean, Metallica does it right.
- 19:10SPEAKER_01: They did whatever to have the images of themselves mixed into the background scenery
- 19:17SPEAKER_01: and stuff on some of this.
- 19:18SPEAKER_01: But I don't know.
- 19:21SPEAKER_01: We'll play a little more and we'll comment.
- 19:25SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
- 19:26SPEAKER_03: Now we're killing you.
- 19:28[music]
- 20:14SPEAKER_01: I just think it's too much.
- 20:17SPEAKER_02: Well, it's overwhelming.
- 20:19SPEAKER_01: It is.
- 20:21SPEAKER_01: And I'd imagine it's ten times more overwhelming actually being there.
- 20:24SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
- 20:26SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 20:26SPEAKER_01: because all this motion and shit, I mean,
- 20:29SPEAKER_01: I'm not one of those guys that gets,
- 20:30SPEAKER_01: like, epileptic or whatever from shit like this.
- 20:33SPEAKER_00: Right, have a seizure from it, right?
- 20:34SPEAKER_01: I'll bet you they do have that problem, though, at this place.
- 20:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think there's warnings about that.
- 20:39SPEAKER_00: Is there?
- 20:40SPEAKER_00: That if you,
- 20:41SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 20:42SPEAKER_00: prone to epileptic seizures due to,
- 20:45SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 20:46SPEAKER_00: lights flashing and all that,
- 20:47SPEAKER_00: that they don't recommend that you go to these type of performances.
- 20:52SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 20:52SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 20:54SPEAKER_01: I mean, I don't know, man.
- 20:55SPEAKER_01: I mean, what would you pay for this?
- 20:57SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, I know what people are paying for that.
- 21:00SPEAKER_02: I know what they're paying for, but what would you pay
- 21:02SPEAKER_01: for this?
- 21:03SPEAKER_01: Me, personally?
- 21:04SPEAKER_02: A hundred bucks.
- 21:06SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't go.
- 21:09SPEAKER_01: I would much rather see them on as shitty as their little round stages
- 21:14SPEAKER_01: or their big round stages.
- 21:15SPEAKER_01: I'd rather see that than this.
- 21:17SPEAKER_01: This is too much.
- 21:20SPEAKER_01: And at the same time,
- 21:21SPEAKER_01: I think the, you know, the M72 stage with the big poles with the things on it.
- 21:29SPEAKER_01: I don't think that's enough video.
- 21:31SPEAKER_01: You know, you lose them again.
- 21:33SPEAKER_01: Like when I saw them in Detroit,
- 21:36SPEAKER_01: I didn't know where they were half the time because I was,
- 21:39SPEAKER_01: you know, I couldn't see them.
- 21:40SPEAKER_01: And then you're looking up at these little pole things.
- 21:42SPEAKER_01: The next thing you know, you're watching the video on a pole, you know.
- 21:48SPEAKER_02: You're there live, but you're watching a video.
- 21:50SPEAKER_01: But you're watching TV.
- 21:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 21:52SPEAKER_01: And I think that's the same with this.
- 21:55SPEAKER_01: Don't you think?
- 21:57SPEAKER_00: Well, you can't help but see the, the video because that's, that's all you all around you.
- 22:05SPEAKER_00: I mean, your, your eyes aren't focused on one, you know, square screen.
- 22:10SPEAKER_00: You're, you're, you're surrounded by it.
- 22:14SPEAKER_01: So how long do you think this lasts?
- 22:16SPEAKER_01: And I don't just mean Metallica.
- 22:17SPEAKER_01: I mean, in general, the sphere as a concept.
- 22:24SPEAKER_00: It's going broke.
- 22:26SPEAKER_00: It's going broke.
- 22:28SPEAKER_00: They went way over budget building the thing.
- 22:31SPEAKER_00: And now they can't sell enough shows or recoup the money it costs to run this thing.
- 22:40SPEAKER_00: So they're talking that this thing may end up just going broke.
- 22:50SPEAKER_01: The other question is, how many bands are big enough to do this?
- 22:53SPEAKER_00: Well...
- 22:54SPEAKER_00: It seems like the only bands that can do it are the legacy bands.
- 23:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 23:01SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah, I mean, they got, and that's what I mean.
- 23:03SPEAKER_01: They got to be big.
- 23:04SPEAKER_01: They got to be a huge band.
- 23:05SPEAKER_00: Because obviously the
- 23:07SPEAKER_01: Eagles have played there many times.
- 23:09SPEAKER_01: U2 has done it a bunch of dates.
- 23:13SPEAKER_01: I mean, I get it.
- 23:14SPEAKER_01: Springsteen could probably do this.
- 23:18SPEAKER_01: The only band I would like to see in this environment,
- 23:20SPEAKER_01: I think they're actually doing it as Tool.
- 23:23SPEAKER_01: I'd love to see Tool because they've been way into this kind of shit since the 90s,
- 23:30SPEAKER_01: before even video screens was a thing.
- 23:32SPEAKER_01: Tool was in it, so you imagine Tool would do crazy stuff with this.
- 23:37SPEAKER_01: I don't know that there's that many bands that can support.
- 23:42SPEAKER_01: I mean, this place holds like 20,000 people, right?
- 23:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's an arena.
- 23:48SPEAKER_01: So for Metallica, 24, it's a quarter million people.
- 23:54SPEAKER_01: They're one of the biggest bands in the world,
- 23:55SPEAKER_01: but how many bands could sell a quarter million people in a month?
- 23:59SPEAKER_01: In one city?
- 24:02SPEAKER_01: And in a city that's going broke?
- 24:07SPEAKER_01: I just don't see this lasting a whole lot longer.
- 24:12SPEAKER_01: Frankie Valli could do it.
- 24:15SPEAKER_01: See,
- 24:15SPEAKER_01: Frankie Valli's the kind of guy that should do it because you need to be watching
- 24:19SPEAKER_01: the screens instead of him.
- 24:23SPEAKER_00: And you wouldn't even know if he was on stage or not anyway.
- 24:26SPEAKER_01: You don't know.
- 24:27SPEAKER_01: Even when he is on stage, you don't know how much of him is on stage.
- 24:30SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 24:31SPEAKER_01: Stop it, Brian.
- 24:32SPEAKER_01: Twisted sister with Bach could do it.
- 24:36SPEAKER_01: And if 480 Truck said before that, that fucking John Tora Quiet Riot could.
- 24:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 24:42SPEAKER_02: That's the new hot ticket in Vegas.
- 24:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 24:46SPEAKER_01: Meanwhile, the John Tora show, nothing against that kid.
- 24:49SPEAKER_01: We'll talk about it and play some of it in a minute, but.
- 24:53SPEAKER_01: Forget that kid.
- 24:55SPEAKER_01: It looks like they're playing in a high school gym.
- 24:58SPEAKER_01: Do you see the videos of that?
- 25:00SPEAKER_00: I did not.
- 25:00SPEAKER_00: I purposely didn't watch any of it because I figured we'd be speaking about it tonight.
- 25:05SPEAKER_01: We'll talk about it here next here in a minute.
- 25:07SPEAKER_01: But when you see the,
- 25:09SPEAKER_01: and again,
- 25:10SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 25:10SPEAKER_01: I don't like Alex, but I'm going to even take that off the table for tonight.
- 25:15SPEAKER_01: And I'm going to judge this thing fairly because me and you have taken a beating.
- 25:19SPEAKER_01: Because people didn't listen to the videos.
- 25:20SPEAKER_01: They just thought that we just fucking hate this kid and want to see him fail.
- 25:25SPEAKER_01: Which, whatever.
- 25:26SPEAKER_01: You know, I don't care.
- 25:27SPEAKER_01: I don't care what the fucking YouTube dickwads say.
- 25:30SPEAKER_01: But yeah, when you see this venue, you're going to be like, what the hell?
- 25:38SPEAKER_00: Well, again,
- 25:39SPEAKER_00: it has to be a promoter who's willing to pay whatever the dollar amount
- 25:44SPEAKER_00: that they're asking to play at their venue.
- 25:47SPEAKER_00: I don't know what they're asking prices at this point.
- 25:49SPEAKER_01: Who, Quiet Riot?
- 25:51SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know what they're asking, what their buy price is.
- 25:56SPEAKER_01: It's probably up.
- 25:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, let's just switch to that topic.
- 26:00SPEAKER_01: We'll just switch over.
- 26:01SPEAKER_01: Because really, I don't have nothing else to really say about the Metallica except for...
- 26:06SPEAKER_01: It's just it's just it's overwhelmingly overwhelming.
- 26:09SPEAKER_00: It's huge.
- 26:10SPEAKER_00: I mean, you know, I have not been inside of the sphere.
- 26:15SPEAKER_00: I've seen it, but I haven't been inside.
- 26:17SPEAKER_00: But, you know, but by all accounts, I mean, it is a technological wonder.
- 26:24SPEAKER_00: And, you know,
- 26:24SPEAKER_00: as far as the the assault on your senses visually and audibly and You know,
- 26:32SPEAKER_00: the whole experience,
- 26:33SPEAKER_00: I guess, is,
- 26:34SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 26:34SPEAKER_00: because everybody that I've spoken to who have been to a show,
- 26:38SPEAKER_00: they rant and rave about it and talk about it.
- 26:41SPEAKER_00: It's just, you know, phenomenal, something like you've never seen before.
- 26:45SPEAKER_00: And I can appreciate that.
- 26:47SPEAKER_00: But how much is too much?
- 26:49SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 26:51SPEAKER_01: And maybe that's why it's pricing everybody out of it,
- 26:54SPEAKER_01: because it's not meant for everybody, I guess.
- 26:56SPEAKER_01: But, you know, we'll see.
- 27:00SPEAKER_01: Anyway, let's move on to, let's go from this giant venue.
- 27:05SPEAKER_02: Let's go from one equally large band
- 27:08SPEAKER_00: to another equally large
- 27:09SPEAKER_02: band.
- 27:10SPEAKER_01: Playing an equally large venue.
- 27:12SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 27:12SPEAKER_01: Let's move over to the new Quiet Riot with John Tora.
- 27:16SPEAKER_01: I'll put this on the screen here.
- 27:23SPEAKER_01: I can't, there it is, share.
- 27:26SPEAKER_01: Look at this venue.
- 27:29SPEAKER_01: Before I even press play, come on.
- 27:37SPEAKER_01: This looks like a high school gym, doesn't it?
- 27:40SPEAKER_00: A little bit.
- 27:42SPEAKER_00: It's hard to say.
- 27:44SPEAKER_00: Is there any other video further back?
- 27:46SPEAKER_00: Oh, we'll get some of that when you'll see
- 27:49SPEAKER_01: these computer screen advertisements
- 27:52SPEAKER_01: that are blowing advertisement while they're playing.
- 27:55SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
- 27:56SPEAKER_01: Buy a sub, two for $3 or
- 28:00SPEAKER_00: Well, we got to make a couple of bucks back after hiring such a stellar lineup.
- 28:10SPEAKER_01: Well, let's talk about this Torah kid for a minute before we even play the audio.
- 28:16SPEAKER_01: I just want to be clear that while we have our observations,
- 28:21SPEAKER_01: you and I, and to be honest, I watched this entire hour and 15-minute show.
- 28:27SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 28:28SPEAKER_01: The kid is great.
- 28:30SPEAKER_01: I will tell you straight up, as far as singing, he is Kevin Dubrow.
- 28:34SPEAKER_01: He's as good as Kevin Dubrow ever was.
- 28:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I saw some of his video with his own band doing the covers.
- 28:42SPEAKER_01: Seeing him in this environment, it works as far as the voice.
- 28:49SPEAKER_01: As a performer, A, I stand by what we said before.
- 28:53SPEAKER_01: My man's got to get on some SlimFast.
- 28:57SPEAKER_01: He's...
- 28:58SPEAKER_01: He's got to be three bills.
- 29:00SPEAKER_01: He has to be three bills.
- 29:03SPEAKER_01: He did not lose a ton of weight like we thought maybe he did from
- 29:06SPEAKER_01: the AI Photoshop they put up of the band photo.
- 29:12SPEAKER_01: He did not lose a ton of weight, which is whatever.
- 29:15SPEAKER_01: I mean, again,
- 29:17SPEAKER_01: I stand by what I said,
- 29:18SPEAKER_01: which was you never saw anybody successful in 80s classic rock,
- 29:24SPEAKER_01: classic metal that was fat.
- 29:26SPEAKER_01: You never did.
- 29:28SPEAKER_00: Unless you're Meatloaf.
- 29:30SPEAKER_01: Okay, one.
- 29:32SPEAKER_02: Or Big Daddy Rich.
- 29:35SPEAKER_01: How successful is he?
- 29:36SPEAKER_01: He told me himself.
- 29:38SPEAKER_01: They're happy at 500-seat venues.
- 29:40SPEAKER_00: Well, they are a niche band.
- 29:43SPEAKER_00: I mean, they're not for everybody.
- 29:46SPEAKER_00: They're certainly not a widespread interest in that style of music.
- 29:54SPEAKER_01: No, the only two are A, Meatloaf, and B, John Popper, blues traveler.
- 30:00SPEAKER_00: And even he lost a bunch of weight.
- 30:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 30:03SPEAKER_01: And unfortunately for him, it didn't help.
- 30:05SPEAKER_01: It actually hurt their career because people actually got used to the fat guy with
- 30:08SPEAKER_02: the harmonicas on his vest.
- 30:11SPEAKER_02: And his suspenders.
- 30:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
- 30:16SPEAKER_01: I'm going to say this about this video before we even play it.
- 30:20SPEAKER_01: I'm happy for this kid, but man, it is apparent that he has been in local bands.
- 30:28SPEAKER_01: His stage presence to me is very local.
- 30:32SPEAKER_01: And it's really odd when you see Rudy and Alex,
- 30:38SPEAKER_01: again, I'm not going to say anything bad about Alex tonight.
- 30:41SPEAKER_01: When you see these two that are veterans that know how to do it, you know what I mean?
- 30:48SPEAKER_01: You got two guys that know how to perform and you got one guy that's thrilled to be there.
- 30:55SPEAKER_01: And he sounds great.
- 30:56SPEAKER_01: And again,
- 30:57SPEAKER_01: I do not want to trash him because as far as singing goes,
- 31:03SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's a dead ringer.
- 31:05SPEAKER_01: A dead ringer.
- 31:06SPEAKER_01: Which is, again, throwing it back to Meatloaf.
- 31:09SPEAKER_01: But you'd have to know that whole catalog to get that joke.
- 31:13SPEAKER_01: All right, so let's watch a little bit.
- 31:15SPEAKER_01: This is the very beginning of the set.
- 31:17SPEAKER_01: This is when John Torre makes his first appearance in Quiet Riot.
- 31:22SPEAKER_01: I got it on screen.
- 31:23SPEAKER_01: Yes, I do.
- 31:25SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
- 31:28If you think you're
- 31:29[music]
- 32:37SPEAKER_00: Thoughts?
- 32:39SPEAKER_00: Well, again,
- 32:40SPEAKER_00: if I'm not watching the video and just listening,
- 32:44SPEAKER_00: I might think that this is a vintage Quiet Riot performance.
- 32:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he sounds great.
- 32:51SPEAKER_02: He does.
- 32:52SPEAKER_02: He sounds just like Kevin.
- 32:55SPEAKER_01: But then the stage performance is a whole other thing.
- 32:59SPEAKER_01: Do you agree with me that he looks like a rookie?
- 33:02SPEAKER_01: A little bit.
- 33:03SPEAKER_01: And maybe that'll come.
- 33:04SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's probably real nervous first show.
- 33:08SPEAKER_01: First show with Quiet Riot.
- 33:10SPEAKER_01: And this is literally the first minute of the first show.
- 33:14SPEAKER_01: But I don't know.
- 33:17SPEAKER_01: He comes off hokey to me.
- 33:22SPEAKER_01: And again, I don't hate this kid.
- 33:25SPEAKER_01: I can't say that enough because me and you took such a bashing.
- 33:29SPEAKER_00: But we never criticized him and his ability.
- 33:32SPEAKER_00: We never did.
- 33:33SPEAKER_01: But it's more the thumbnails or whatever.
- 33:37SPEAKER_01: Is he too fat to be the singer or whatever?
- 33:40SPEAKER_01: And believe me, every fucking comment was, he must be good enough if Rolling Stone covered it.
- 33:47SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, Rolling Stone, that's your fucking success?
- 33:52SPEAKER_01: Congrats.
- 33:54SPEAKER_01: Which I will say.
- 33:55SPEAKER_00: For stolen existence.
- 33:57SPEAKER_01: Dude, what?
- 33:58SPEAKER_01: I will say for whatever reason, the media buzz on this is nuts.
- 34:05SPEAKER_01: It's Quiet Riot, for God's sakes.
- 34:08SPEAKER_01: I mean, when was the last time Quiet Riot meant something?
- 34:12SPEAKER_01: I mean, legitimately meant something.
- 34:14SPEAKER_00: What, 1983?
- 34:17SPEAKER_01: I'll give them even longer than that.
- 34:19SPEAKER_01: The Wild and the Young was pretty popular, wasn't it?
- 34:22SPEAKER_01: That was a pretty decent hit.
- 34:25SPEAKER_01: Sign of the Times?
- 34:28SPEAKER_01: That was what, 85?
- 34:30SPEAKER_01: Winner takes all?
- 34:31SPEAKER_01: When was that?
- 34:33SPEAKER_01: It was like 85, right?
- 34:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, before Kevin left and Paul Shortino came in.
- 34:41SPEAKER_01: And that was it.
- 34:43SPEAKER_01: Once Paul Shortino came in, that was the end of Quiet Riot.
- 34:47SPEAKER_01: As far as being a band that truly means something.
- 34:51SPEAKER_00: I mean, obviously they had their comeback with that lineup that Reunited
- 34:56SPEAKER_00: and put out one album, I think.
- 34:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
- 34:59SPEAKER_01: one or two.
- 35:00SPEAKER_00: And they got to be on, what were they, on the Poison Tour?
- 35:03SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but even that, I don't consider that them being relevant.
- 35:08SPEAKER_00: No, no, but that had some buzz to it because it was
- 35:13SPEAKER_00: the most popular lineup we're playing together again for the first time in,
- 35:18SPEAKER_00: what, 20 years or 15 years or something like that, you know.
- 35:23SPEAKER_01: Let me just play...
- 35:26SPEAKER_01: Play with history a little bit, and obviously there's no way to know.
- 35:30SPEAKER_01: But let's just say for the sake of argument that it was, who was out in 83?
- 35:37SPEAKER_01: It was Y&T that had the first number one metal album ever.
- 35:42SPEAKER_01: Let's just say Mean Streak, I think that was probably the album at that time.
- 35:46SPEAKER_01: Let's say Mean Streak blew up and became the first metal album to reach number one
- 35:51SPEAKER_01: on the charts instead of Quiet Riot.
- 35:54SPEAKER_01: Now I'm saying they still put out everything that they did,
- 35:58SPEAKER_01: but it wasn't them that was the first number one.
- 36:02SPEAKER_01: Does Quiet Riot matter today?
- 36:05SPEAKER_01: No.
- 36:06SPEAKER_01: That's what I think too.
- 36:08SPEAKER_01: I think they matter in the same way as McQueen Street and Tangier and those kind of bands.
- 36:15SPEAKER_01: Vain.
- 36:17SPEAKER_01: And again, not shitting on those bands either.
- 36:18SPEAKER_01: I like some of those bands,
- 36:19SPEAKER_01: but I just don't think that A band that had one really good record,
- 36:26SPEAKER_01: but it was timed perfectly,
- 36:29SPEAKER_01: would have been successful if they weren't timed perfectly.
- 36:33SPEAKER_01: That's honestly what I get.
- 36:35SPEAKER_00: And again, it was still early MTV as well, so MTV was a big driving force for that.
- 36:43SPEAKER_03: Hey, metalheads.

- 37:26SPEAKER_01: My man is a big boy.
- 37:29SPEAKER_01: He is a big boy.
- 37:31SPEAKER_01: There's no denying that.
- 37:34SPEAKER_01: All right, I'll skip through.
- 37:35SPEAKER_01: I'll just skip around a little bit so that we're not just listening to the first song.
- 37:39SPEAKER_01: We'll jump in the middle.
- 37:41SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
- 37:42[music]
- 38:09SPEAKER_01: And just a suggestion to Mr. Torah here.
- 38:12SPEAKER_01: I understand why he's doing it.
- 38:14SPEAKER_01: Tribute to Kevin and all that.
- 38:17SPEAKER_01: But my man, fat man to fat man, you cannot wear stripes that way.
- 38:21SPEAKER_01: You can't do it.
- 38:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and you can't wear a shirt that's tucked in.
- 38:27SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 38:27SPEAKER_00: You have to wear something that's untucked.
- 38:30SPEAKER_01: Yes, because it's just pulling against the big belly button.
- 38:34SPEAKER_01: It's like, dude, stop.
- 38:36SPEAKER_01: Or belly button, buckle, belt buckle.
- 38:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah, your belt buckle is sunk into your belly.
- 38:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it looks painful.
- 38:44SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
- 38:49SPEAKER_03: Oh, my
- 38:49[music]
- 39:01SPEAKER_01: By the way, do you see this advertisement thing over here?
- 39:04SPEAKER_01: Just fucking running ads.
- 39:05[music]
- 39:11SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
- 39:13SPEAKER_03: Misery
- 39:14[music]
- 40:30SPEAKER_02: I'm just mesmerized by the fact that they have the stage sound guy right on the stage.
- 40:36SPEAKER_01: I know, he's right there.
- 40:38SPEAKER_01: He's right on the stage.
- 40:40SPEAKER_01: He's right there doing the mix.
- 40:43SPEAKER_01: Doing the mix while the advertisements are playing in front of the stage.
- 40:47SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's Bush League.
- 40:49SPEAKER_01: I don't know where this place is in Oklahoma, but...
- 40:53SPEAKER_01: That has nothing to do with the band either.
- 40:54SPEAKER_01: I want to be clear on that.
- 40:56SPEAKER_01: We're not shitting on the band for playing this place.
- 41:00SPEAKER_01: But what are they doing with these advertisement boards?
- 41:03SPEAKER_01: That would drive me nuts if I was in the crowd.
- 41:08SPEAKER_01: And every 10 seconds you got some flashing light in your face.
- 41:13SPEAKER_01: Part of the concert experience is you're in the dark, they're in the light.
- 41:18SPEAKER_01: It makes them bigger.
- 41:19SPEAKER_01: Instead, you're fucking competing with two for one on a fucking chicken sandwich or whatever.
- 41:26SPEAKER_01: All right, I'll skip ahead.
- 41:28SPEAKER_01: That's funny.
- 41:30SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
- 41:31[music]
- 42:50SPEAKER_01: Dare I say, he might be better than Kevin as far as sounding.
- 42:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, well, he is young.
- 42:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's very young.
- 42:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's 23,
- 42:58SPEAKER_00: so, you know, his vocals hasn't taken a beating over decades of singing, you know.
- 43:05SPEAKER_01: How long do you think he can do this?
- 43:08SPEAKER_02: How long is Quiet Riot going to be around?
- 43:11SPEAKER_02: True, that's true.
- 43:12SPEAKER_02: I mean, what if Rudy?
- 43:13SPEAKER_02: He's almost 80, isn't he?
- 43:14SPEAKER_02: He's like 75 or 60 or something.
- 43:17SPEAKER_02: He's old.
- 43:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so how...
- 43:19SPEAKER_02: How long is Quiet Riot going to continue on?
- 43:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's true too.
- 43:23SPEAKER_01: All right, I'll skip forward one or two more times and then we'll call it on this.
- 43:28SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
- 43:29[music]
- 44:25SPEAKER_01: Hey, look and get a hamburger.
- 44:27SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you're hungry or not, but you can get yourself a hamburger.
- 44:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you can dine in or
- 44:31SPEAKER_01: carry out.
- 44:32SPEAKER_01: Or carry out, either way.
- 44:34SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
- 44:36SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
- 44:37SPEAKER_03: Looking for some action on a mean
- 44:39[music]
- 45:40SPEAKER_01: Am I crazy and thinking he looks like a young version of the widower?
- 45:42SPEAKER_01: He does.
- 45:46SPEAKER_01: Doesn't he?
- 45:47SPEAKER_01: A little bit.
- 45:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 45:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 45:51SPEAKER_02: Well, you know, I gotta give the kid props.
- 45:54SPEAKER_02: I mean, he transitions from one song to
- 45:57SPEAKER_00: the next pretty seamlessly and,
- 45:59SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 45:59SPEAKER_00: obviously knows all the words and,
- 46:03SPEAKER_00: I mean, you know, he's been doing the tribute thing for a long time.
- 46:07SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't know how many of the Quiet Riot songs he typically does
- 46:12SPEAKER_00: with his tribute band, but,
- 46:14SPEAKER_00: you know, he seems to Seemed comfortable transitioning from one song to the next.
- 46:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 46:24SPEAKER_01: I just wonder, there's obviously a lot of buzz on this right now.
- 46:31SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of internet buzz.
- 46:33SPEAKER_01: Obviously,
- 46:35SPEAKER_01: even the mainstream media,
- 46:36SPEAKER_01: for whatever reason, has picked up on this story, which is great.
- 46:39SPEAKER_01: Good for them.
- 46:41SPEAKER_01: How long does that last?
- 46:44SPEAKER_01: Two months from now when they've played 12 gigs, is anybody going to care anymore?
- 46:47SPEAKER_02: No, but it's a human interest story is what it is.
- 46:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 46:52SPEAKER_02: You know, 23-year-old kid goes from tribute band to- With a bunch of grandpas playing.
- 46:58SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 46:58SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's 23 and Rudy's 75.
- 47:01SPEAKER_02: Rudy's three times his age.
- 47:05SPEAKER_01: Rudy's three times his age.
- 47:10SPEAKER_01: Although Rudy looks
- 47:10SPEAKER_02: younger than him.
- 47:12SPEAKER_02: He does.
- 47:12SPEAKER_02: Rudy's kept himself in immaculate condition.
- 47:15SPEAKER_02: That's for sure.
- 47:15SPEAKER_01: That's amazing.
- 47:16SPEAKER_01: He really looks walking that little tiny dog of his.
- 47:20SPEAKER_01: Keeps him in shape, I guess.
- 47:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 47:24SPEAKER_01: Rudy looks very healthy.
- 47:25SPEAKER_01: That's for sure.
- 47:27SPEAKER_01: It's good to know I can get myself a Starbucks, too, while I'm having my quiet riot.
- 47:34SPEAKER_01: Those boards drive me nuts.
- 47:35SPEAKER_01: I know it's probably dumb.
- 47:37SPEAKER_01: I'm probably the only person that gives a shit about that, but that would drive me.
- 47:40SPEAKER_01: Would that not drive you crazy at a show?
- 47:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, let's get crazy.
- 47:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 47:46SPEAKER_01: Starbucks!
- 47:51SPEAKER_01: All right, I'll jump right to the end.
- 47:52SPEAKER_01: We'll go to the ending.
- 47:55SPEAKER_00: Of course, it's got to be, come on, feel the noise.
- 47:58SPEAKER_01: Either that or Metal Health.
- 48:00SPEAKER_01: I forget which one it is.
- 48:01[music]
- 49:40SPEAKER_01: He's nailing it, man.
- 49:42SPEAKER_01: That's the end of the set.
- 49:43SPEAKER_01: He still sounds great.
- 49:46SPEAKER_01: I'll give it to him.
- 49:47SPEAKER_01: He sounds great.
- 49:49SPEAKER_01: And maybe,
- 49:50SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 49:50SPEAKER_01: I'm sure even the stage presence,
- 49:54SPEAKER_01: I'm sure,
- 49:55SPEAKER_01: I'm positive these guys are going to be like,
- 49:57SPEAKER_01: all right, dude, stop that fucking mud stomping thing that you're doing.
- 50:02SPEAKER_01: You know, they'll dial him in, I would imagine.
- 50:05SPEAKER_01: I'm sure.
- 50:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, I mean,
- 50:07SPEAKER_00: if they're going to invest their future on this kid,
- 50:10SPEAKER_00: I'm sure they're going to,
- 50:12SPEAKER_00: you know, give them some guidance and, you know, work with them a little bit.
- 50:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 50:17SPEAKER_00: Maybe Rudy could give him some diet tips.
- 50:23SPEAKER_01: Well, that is the million-dollar question.
- 50:25SPEAKER_01: Can he stay fat and do this?
- 50:29SPEAKER_01: Or will it end up hurting the band?
- 50:31SPEAKER_01: Because there's already people saying, is that Vince Neil up there and shit like that?
- 50:37SPEAKER_01: Well, of course.
- 50:38SPEAKER_01: And that's going to – look, it's meatloaf or it's –
- 50:45SPEAKER_01: All those jokes are already coming in.
- 50:49SPEAKER_01: So he's going to take a beating for being fat.
- 50:52SPEAKER_01: So he can either not look at social media, be tough, or lose some pounds.
- 51:00SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 51:01SPEAKER_00: And wear looser clothes that aren't tucked in.
- 51:05SPEAKER_01: Or striped.
- 51:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 51:08SPEAKER_01: All black.
- 51:10SPEAKER_01: Try all black.
- 51:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course.
- 51:11SPEAKER_01: Of course.
- 51:12SPEAKER_01: Whatever size he is, he's got to be a triple.
- 51:15SPEAKER_01: Get a quad, all black quad shirt.
- 51:21SPEAKER_01: Well, good on him.
- 51:23SPEAKER_01: I'm glad to see a kid actually doing this.
- 51:27SPEAKER_01: We'll see how long it lasts, but good on him.
- 51:33SPEAKER_02: Well, obviously, Quiet Riot is still capable of nailing down some gigs.
- 51:40SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
- 51:42SPEAKER_01: Question is,
- 51:42SPEAKER_01: is this attention,
- 51:44SPEAKER_01: and I'm curious,
- 51:45SPEAKER_01: you're out there more than me,
- 51:46SPEAKER_01: you would know,
- 51:48SPEAKER_01: does the amount of attention that they're getting right now,
- 51:51SPEAKER_01: does it elevate them past first opener of every one of these shows?
- 51:58SPEAKER_00: No.
- 51:59SPEAKER_00: No, it's a, you know, it's a, what do you want to call, what's the word I'm looking for?
- 52:06SPEAKER_00: It's a...
- 52:08SPEAKER_00: Temporary?
- 52:09SPEAKER_00: Well, there's a word I'm looking for.
- 52:11SPEAKER_00: It's the initial curiosity.
- 52:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 52:19SPEAKER_00: But after it's happened,
- 52:21SPEAKER_00: then it's just like,
- 52:22SPEAKER_00: okay, well, there goes Quiet Riot with their new fat kid singer.
- 52:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's true.
- 52:29SPEAKER_02: You know, but,
- 52:30SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 52:31SPEAKER_02: the initial
- 52:33SPEAKER_00: curiosity about it and,
- 52:36SPEAKER_00: you know, Tribute band singer makes the big time.
- 52:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 52:41SPEAKER_00: I mean, this is no different than Tim Owens joining Judas Priest.
- 52:47SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 52:48SPEAKER_00: Same type of interest in that.
- 52:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 52:51SPEAKER_00: How long did that last?
- 52:53SPEAKER_01: Yeah, not very long.
- 52:55SPEAKER_00: Not very long.
- 52:56SPEAKER_00: You know, obviously they made a movie based on that with Rockstar.
- 53:00SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 53:01SPEAKER_00: And that's about it.
- 53:04SPEAKER_00: But as far as,
- 53:05SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 53:05SPEAKER_00: elevating them or popularity and stuff, Rob Halford had already put a stamp on it.
- 53:11SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 53:12SPEAKER_00: People were not going to,
- 53:13SPEAKER_00: even though Tim sounded great, sounded very Rob Halford could carry the tunes.
- 53:19SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 53:21SPEAKER_00: As long as Rob Halford was still healthy and still out there and still alive.
- 53:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 53:27SPEAKER_00: People were not going to accept it and they didn't.
- 53:29SPEAKER_01: No.
- 53:30SPEAKER_01: No.
- 53:32SPEAKER_01: I wish the best to Diet Riot here.
- 53:34SPEAKER_01: I hope they do well.
- 53:40SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 53:41SPEAKER_01: So there you are.
- 53:42SPEAKER_01: So there it is.
- 53:43SPEAKER_01: Quiet Riot with John Tora.
- 53:46SPEAKER_01: And I'm sure I'll be in a battle Tuesday because I'm going to be guest hosting
- 53:50SPEAKER_01: on Hair Metal Guru.
- 53:51SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 53:52SPEAKER_01: And Hair Metal Guru has been, he is,
- 53:56SPEAKER_01: he might as well be Tora's girlfriend as much as he's been showing love
- 53:59SPEAKER_01: for this kid.
- 54:00SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
- 54:02SPEAKER_02: What is it about just because he sounds like Kevin?
- 54:05SPEAKER_01: Is that it?
- 54:08SPEAKER_01: I think that's probably it.
- 54:10SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 54:11SPEAKER_01: I don't live in that world where,
- 54:14SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 54:15SPEAKER_01: and I don't want to shit on anybody, but I guess I'm going to have to here.
- 54:20SPEAKER_01: You're forcing me into it.
- 54:21SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 54:23SPEAKER_01: A lot of people out there, specifically in L.A., Their world is these bands.
- 54:32SPEAKER_01: Their world is 1982 to 1989.
- 54:35SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 54:37SPEAKER_01: And Hair Metal Guru is one of those guys.
- 54:40SPEAKER_01: And again, that's fine if that's what you're into.
- 54:43SPEAKER_01: But like he put out a video this week that said something about,
- 54:47SPEAKER_01: you know, I was 19 years old when grunge killed my bands.
- 54:51SPEAKER_01: And I'm just like, dude, didn't kill mine.
- 54:54SPEAKER_01: I just developed new ones.
- 54:56SPEAKER_01: I just got more.
- 54:57SPEAKER_01: You know, I got brought more bands.
- 55:00SPEAKER_01: And, but there is a lot of people that live that world, you know, and
- 55:11SPEAKER_01: he's one of them.
- 55:11SPEAKER_01: So, you know,
- 55:13SPEAKER_01: for him,
- 55:14SPEAKER_01: for Stevie, for,
- 55:17SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 55:17SPEAKER_01: a lot of those guys out there,
- 55:19SPEAKER_01: a change in Quiet Riot is still headline news,
- 55:25SPEAKER_01: you know, where to me, to you, it's like, all right, Cool.
- 55:31SPEAKER_01: What else we got?
- 55:34SPEAKER_01: They say you should never look back, but I've never been good at following orders.
- 55:39SPEAKER_01: I'm Chris Akin,
- 55:40SPEAKER_01: and while most of you know me for the radio and the interviews,
- 55:44SPEAKER_01: I've got a past that would make social justice warriors' heads explode.
- 55:49SPEAKER_01: My latest book, and other things I should not say, isn't a self-help manual.
- 55:55SPEAKER_01: It's an autopsy of the years 1986 to 1990.
- 55:59SPEAKER_01: Four years of sex, booze,
- 56:02SPEAKER_01: and absolute chaos while I was serving in the military in Korea and California.
- 56:07SPEAKER_01: I'm talking about stories that stay buried in the back of your memory
- 56:12SPEAKER_01: because society tells you they're wrong and ugly.
- 56:16SPEAKER_01: I don't live in fear of my past.
- 56:18SPEAKER_01: Every filthy,
- 56:20SPEAKER_01: calloused,
- 56:20SPEAKER_01: and ridiculous moment in this book actually happened,
- 56:23SPEAKER_01: and I'm damn proud to share it.
- 56:26SPEAKER_01: If you're easily offended, keep walking, pal.
- 56:29SPEAKER_01: But if you want to see what happens when you pack a lifetime of dangerous living
- 56:34SPEAKER_01: into just four years,
- 56:35SPEAKER_01: head over to Amazon.com or just go to the link in the description and grab yourself
- 56:42SPEAKER_01: a copy today.
- 56:44SPEAKER_01: Both metal fingers are up and the truth is right here.
- 56:48SPEAKER_01: Get some CMS,
- 56:49SPEAKER_01: Uncensored,
- 56:50SPEAKER_01: and other things I should not say as the book,
- 56:53SPEAKER_01: and it is sure to offend and sicken and make you laugh like you never have before.
- 57:01SPEAKER_01: And hey,
- 57:02SPEAKER_01: that's fine,
- 57:03SPEAKER_01: I guess,
- 57:05SPEAKER_01: but I have a strong feeling,
- 57:07SPEAKER_01: because I'm probably the only one in Hair Metal Guru's world
- 57:11SPEAKER_01: that has actually questioned this move.
- 57:13SPEAKER_01: That this will be a topic.
- 57:14SPEAKER_01: That's a guess.
- 57:15SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 57:16SPEAKER_01: We haven't really talked about what we're going to talk about yet, but, you know, we shall see.
- 57:23SPEAKER_01: Hopefully I don't piss him off and it'll be my last visit to the hair metal guru.
- 57:29SPEAKER_00: No, he depends on you.
- 57:30SPEAKER_00: I mean, he sings your praises for your assistance and, you know, helping him with his channel.
- 57:36SPEAKER_01: I don't think we'll have any issue.
- 57:39SPEAKER_01: He knows what we do.
- 57:40SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course.
- 57:41SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 57:42SPEAKER_01: it's not like I'm going to come on there and he's going to be shocked,
- 57:45SPEAKER_01: you know, and I'll be polite.
- 57:47SPEAKER_01: I'll be,
- 57:48SPEAKER_01: I'll adapt to what he,
- 57:49SPEAKER_01: you know, as I do when I do everybody's podcast, I adapt to what they do.
- 57:53SPEAKER_01: I don't bring the classic metal show to them.
- 57:57SPEAKER_01: You know, I'll do the hair metal guru thing.
- 57:58SPEAKER_01: I won't swear as much.
- 58:00SPEAKER_00: So what are you, stepping in for Stevie or what?
- 58:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Stevie's, forget what he's doing.
- 58:05SPEAKER_01: I don't know if this is when he goes to Thailand or what,
- 58:09SPEAKER_01: he's doing something where he's not going to be around for like two or three weeks.
- 58:14SPEAKER_01: So, Jackal, is that Rumble or YouTube?
- 58:19SPEAKER_01: That would be YouTube.
- 58:20SPEAKER_01: You're going to have to watch that on the Hair Metal Guru's channel.
- 58:24SPEAKER_01: I don't think I'll have a way to do that, to do it on our channels.
- 58:30SPEAKER_01: Winter, 888.
- 58:32SPEAKER_01: When is this?
- 58:33SPEAKER_01: It is Tuesday.
- 58:35SPEAKER_01: I think at 9 p.m. Eastern.
- 58:39SPEAKER_01: Don't hold me to that.
- 58:41SPEAKER_01: He did tell me.
- 58:42SPEAKER_01: I could just look.
- 58:44SPEAKER_01: I could stop being such a lazy shithead and actually just pull up the text.
- 58:49SPEAKER_01: Where are you at, hair metal guru?
- 58:51SPEAKER_01: Anthony.
- 58:54SPEAKER_01: From 6 to 6.30 Pacific, so 9 to 9.30.
- 58:58SPEAKER_01: 9 to 9.30 Pacific on Tuesday.
- 59:03SPEAKER_01: I'll be stepping in for Stevie.
- 59:04SPEAKER_01: Stevie.
- 59:06SPEAKER_01: So tune in, please.
- 59:08SPEAKER_02: Aren't you a good guy?
- 59:10SPEAKER_02: I am.
- 59:12SPEAKER_02: You could be out there trolling for old lady.
- 59:14SPEAKER_02: That's true.
- 59:16SPEAKER_02: Instead, you're going to do the hair metal guru show.
- 59:21SPEAKER_02: You're just a giving, thoughtful guy.
- 59:24SPEAKER_01: I am.
- 59:26SPEAKER_01: Look at Jaylee.
- 59:27SPEAKER_01: Chris is going to get guru some strikes.
- 59:31SPEAKER_01: Probably.
- 59:32SPEAKER_01: No, I will not.
- 59:34SPEAKER_01: I will not be bringing the cunt word or the faggot or any of that stuff to that show.
- 59:40SPEAKER_01: I will be holding my tongue a little bit.
- 59:43SPEAKER_01: I will play to his audience, not horrifying his audience.
- 59:48SPEAKER_01: I need to lead a few of them over to here.
- 59:49SPEAKER_01: Then they can hear those words.
