2:52
SPEAKER_16: But I I don't know.
2:53
SPEAKER_16: I just musicals to me are just like you said, I maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy and in I I I'm based in reality.
3:01
SPEAKER_09: It's sacron, you know.
3:03
SPEAKER_09: It's it's yeah.

3:07
SPEAKER_09: Right.
3:07
SPEAKER_09: Because I've always wanted to be the phantom.
3:09
SPEAKER_09: But that's more like a an opera, right?
3:11
SPEAKER_09: I mean that's no, it's a it's a musical.
3:13

3:18
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, you know.
3:18
SPEAKER_09: And of course, my second favorite is Greece.

SPEAKER_09: So that's a fun one.
3:24
SPEAKER_16: Um, but so so we're doing high school musical, and I'm playing I think that's funny.
3:28
SPEAKER_16: I'm playing, I know the high school is.
3:30
SPEAKER_16: High school is high school musical.
3:31
SPEAKER_16: Whoa, wait a minute.
3:32
SPEAKER_16: And uh so I volunteered to play well, I didn't volunteer.
3:35
SPEAKER_16: Um You were voluntold.
3:36
SPEAKER_16: I was voluntold.
3:37
SPEAKER_16: So I'm playing guitar, lead guitar in it.
3:39
SPEAKER_16: And uh it's harder than it might sound because I'm reading charts and I'm not really good at reading charts.
3:45
SPEAKER_16: I'm good at making and and half the time I'm not actually reading the charts, half the time I'm just like, what key are we in?
3:50
SPEAKER_16: Okay, I'll just play this.
3:51
SPEAKER_16: Why not, man?
3:52
unknown: Right.
3:52
SPEAKER_16: And nobody knows the difference.
3:55
SPEAKER_09: Honestly, nobody's really paying attention to the mus the musicians because nobody can see you.
4:00
SPEAKER_16: Right, it's true.
4:01
SPEAKER_09: Because you're in the pit and it's dark, and you know, they're just watching the kids on stage.
4:05
SPEAKER_09: So I mean, if you I mean, unless you really screw up big, yeah, nobody's gonna even notice.
4:10
SPEAKER_16: Right.
4:10
SPEAKER_16: You know what I mean?
4:11
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, it's true.
4:12
SPEAKER_16: And you know, it's my amp is like pointed towards me and it's really loud.
4:17
SPEAKER_16: Oh, that must be fun.
4:18
SPEAKER_16: It's big and so I'm like, when I turn up the guitar all the way, it's like, is this too loud for the kids on stage?
4:26
SPEAKER_16: And they're telling me it's not, but it's like really loud in my face.
4:31
SPEAKER_16: Well, of course, it's right there.
4:32
SPEAKER_16: Right.
4:32
SPEAKER_16: So I I I I'm like on edge uh the whole time.
4:36
SPEAKER_16: You know, I'm like, uh I'm gonna turn this down just a little bit, and then Sarah will look at me and she's like, we need more of you.
4:42
SPEAKER_16: Oh, oh, I'm okay, I'll turn it up a little bit.
4:44
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, sure.
4:44
SPEAKER_16: It's just weird.
4:45
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, I don't know.
4:46
SPEAKER_15: And yeah, and it's uh because normally you're being like, hey, you're too loud.
4:49
SPEAKER_16: And I'm also I mean, you know how this is because we do it all the time.
4:54
SPEAKER_16: I'm playing with musicians who are amazing.
4:57
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
4:58
SPEAKER_16: And I am not amazing.
5:00
SPEAKER_09: No, I I I feel that.
5:02
SPEAKER_16: Uh you know, it's like it's like because they can all read music and I'm just kind of like faking my way through it, which is fun to some to a to a degree.
5:11
SPEAKER_16: To a degree.
5:12
SPEAKER_16: But uh it's just anyway, I'm just very self-conscious that way.
5:15
SPEAKER_09: No, I get that.
5:16
SPEAKER_09: I I would be too, and uh, because I, you know, I'm not a real musician, and you know, if they'd asked me to do it, I'd be like, hmm.
5:22
SPEAKER_09: No.
5:23
SPEAKER_16: I have to tell you though, um so we haven't have we done a podcast since the skin skin skinny Elvis rehearsed?
5:30
SPEAKER_16: No.
5:31
SPEAKER_16: We haven't.
5:32
SPEAKER_16: That was last week.
5:33
SPEAKER_16: I've been on a high since that rehearsal.
5:36
SPEAKER_16: That was so much fun, man.
5:37
SPEAKER_16: So uh the reason I say this is because you say that you're not a musician, but you're the lead singer of this band.
5:43
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, which is really funny.
5:44
SPEAKER_16: But it's but so so I've always been very um self-conscious about playing with this band for the same reasons I'm self-conscious about doing the musical because we play with two just incredible musicians.
5:55
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
5:56
SPEAKER_16: They're actual music.
5:57
SPEAKER_16: The rhythm section is of Skinny Elvis is amazing.
5:59
SPEAKER_16: It's the rhythm section of Star City Syndicate.
6:01
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
6:02
SPEAKER_16: And so, you know, we've had a few rehearsals in the past, and I've never been prepared.
6:07
SPEAKER_16: I'm never prepared for anything, right?
6:11
SPEAKER_16: But we showed up last week and we're like, what do you want to do?
6:14
SPEAKER_16: It's like, I don't know.
6:16
SPEAKER_16: Uh well, let's just do a couple of the songs that we did before.
6:18
SPEAKER_16: So we did.
6:19
SPEAKER_16: We did a chili pepper song, yeah, and we did a cut, you know, a couple of the other ones, and they sounded pretty good.
6:25
SPEAKER_16: They did.
6:25
SPEAKER_16: And so we're like, geez, this is this is great.
6:28
SPEAKER_16: Uh we could probably play those out.
6:30
SPEAKER_16: You know, they're they're they're good enough to play out.
6:32
SPEAKER_16: What else do you want to do?
6:34
SPEAKER_16: I don't know.

SPEAKER_16: So we throw out a song, we listen to it for a second, and then we play it.
6:40
SPEAKER_16: And we try it.
6:41
SPEAKER_16: And we could probably play it out.
6:44

SPEAKER_16: He says, Yes, you did.
19:28
SPEAKER_16: And I said, Yeah, that was a mistake.
19:30
SPEAKER_16: And he says, anytime you play Hootie and the Blowfish, it's a mistake.
19:34
SPEAKER_16: So obviously Randy has uh stitching his craw about Hooting Hootie and the Blowfish, which is fine.

SPEAKER_16: I think it's amazing.
20:33
SPEAKER_09: So I'm not that I'll get to see it, but well, I mean, maybe they'll come out with a concert DV, or maybe they'll do like Taylor Swift and put them out a movie.
20:43
SPEAKER_09: You never know.
20:44
SPEAKER_16: I don't think that they're going to rev reserve um the theater for a week and charge$25 tickets for something like that.
20:52
SPEAKER_09: Uh you know, it involves people with actual talent and stuff.
20:55
SPEAKER_16: You know, I don't know.
20:56
SPEAKER_16: Uh let's while we're on Van Halen, uh let's do this.
21:00
SPEAKER_16: Ultimate Classic Rock has a list of the ten weirdest Van Halen songs.
21:04
SPEAKER_16: Ooh.
21:05
SPEAKER_16: They do have some weird songs.
21:06
SPEAKER_16: They do have some weird songs.
21:07
SPEAKER_16: Um so uh and they have clips of them here too.
21:12
SPEAKER_16: So I I I think it's it's you can't really talk about them unless you kind of read what Ultimate Classic Rock says.
21:21
SPEAKER_16: And let me give the writer credit here.
21:23
SPEAKER_16: Matthew uh Wilkening is the art is the article uh author.
21:28
SPEAKER_17: Alright.
21:28
SPEAKER_16: So the first one that he lists is In a Simple Rhyme slash growth from Women and Children First.
21:34
SPEAKER_16: I know in a simple rhyme, I don't remember growth.
21:36
SPEAKER_16: Maybe it's just a Oh, it's a hidden track.
21:38
SPEAKER_16: Oh.
21:38
SPEAKER_16: Well, maybe that's why.
21:41
SPEAKER_16: Uh says Van Halen's first two albums were comprised of songs written during their club performance days.
21:45
SPEAKER_16: Their third LP took advantage of the chance to write new material.
21:48
SPEAKER_16: Blah blah blah blah.
21:49
SPEAKER_16: After uh and then In a Simple Rhyme, which I know it's a poppy, progressive, and somewhat weird rock song that sounds like Rush attempting to write a romantic ballad.
21:58
SPEAKER_16: Okay.
21:59
SPEAKER_16: After the Song's Gentle Fade Out comes another surprise, a 30-second instrumental featuring a Brontosaurus sized guitar rift.
22:05
SPEAKER_16: I I don't remember don't remember this.
22:11
SPEAKER_16: This isn't a simple rhyme.
22:12
SPEAKER_16: Hold on.
22:13
SPEAKER_09: Which isn't I don't think it's a weird song.
22:17
SPEAKER_09: I don't either.
22:21
SPEAKER_16: It sounds like Van Halen.
22:23
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
22:31
SPEAKER_16: I mean, they've got weirder songs in this.
22:35
SPEAKER_04: I'm just gonna take the time.
22:38
SPEAKER_19: So here's the Alright, so there's the fade out.
22:46
SPEAKER_16: Here's where it fades out.
22:49
SPEAKER_16: I guess I didn't know this was growth.
22:50
SPEAKER_16: Maybe I did.
22:54
SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah, I remember this now.
22:56
SPEAKER_09: Oh, is this what this is called?
22:58
SPEAKER_09: I didn't know that.
22:59
SPEAKER_09: Well, isn't it's not listed.
23:01
SPEAKER_09: No.
23:01
SPEAKER_09: It's just in a simple rhyme.
23:04
SPEAKER_09: This this part is not listed as a song.
23:08
SPEAKER_09: I do remember that, yeah.
23:09
SPEAKER_16: It says the plan, uh, according to the Van Halen Encyclopedia, was for growth to be expanded into a full song that would kick off the band's next album.
23:18
SPEAKER_16: Interesting.
23:20
SPEAKER_07: That's a new concept.
23:21
SPEAKER_16: That didn't happen, but okay, they would occasionally play the song at their concerts, including an 86 version featuring both Eddie and Sammy on guitar.
23:29
SPEAKER_16: I didn't never know that.
23:30
SPEAKER_16: Interesting.
23:31
SPEAKER_16: From Fair Warning, 1981, Sunday afternoon in the park, one foot out the door.
23:36
SPEAKER_16: Oh, that is good.
23:37
SPEAKER_16: This is a weird song.
23:38
SPEAKER_16: It is a weird song.
23:39
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, this is a weird song.
23:46
SPEAKER_16: I wonder if Intruder is on here.
23:49
SPEAKER_16: Remember Intruder is the beginning of Oh Pretty Woman?
23:52
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
23:54
SPEAKER_16: Gosh, that was awful.
23:55
SPEAKER_16: Oh, yeah, I was trying to.
23:56
SPEAKER_16: But on purpose.
23:57
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, well, I mean it was the 80s, I mean, you know.
24:02
SPEAKER_16: Yes.
24:02
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, that is a weird song.
24:04
SPEAKER_16: Let's see.
24:11
SPEAKER_16: Does it go right into?
24:13
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, there it is.
24:14
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, it goes back into one foot out the door.
24:16
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, which is right here.
24:31
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, see, this one I don't find weird, but the first part of it.
24:33
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, the first part of it.
24:35
SPEAKER_16: Uh, and then from Diver Down, there were a couple weird ones on Diver Down.

27:00

SPEAKER_16: I think you know what I'm talking about.
27:09
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
27:10
SPEAKER_16: Right before the guitar's low, I think it's Al who yells out Alamoney! Alamone! This is basically the story of Sammy joining the band, right?
27:34
SPEAKER_16: I think so.
27:35
SPEAKER_16: I mean, look, I got this job not just being myself.
27:37
SPEAKER_16: I went out about some brand new shoes now off like someone else.
27:40
SPEAKER_16: Uh something special, someone new, some brand new group to stick my teeth into.
28:09
SPEAKER_16: Such a great album.
28:10
SPEAKER_16: The whole thing.
28:11
SPEAKER_16: Love it.
28:13
SPEAKER_16: Listen to those notes.
28:20
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, but he was only in his 40s right now.
28:24
SPEAKER_16: He was in his priests.
28:28
SPEAKER_16: This one wasn't weird, but it was definitely different from OU812.
28:32
SPEAKER_16: I like this song, you don't.
28:35
SPEAKER_09: Well, it's not that I don't like it.
28:38
SPEAKER_09: It's just not my favorite song on the album.
28:40
SPEAKER_16: I like it because it was so different.
28:42
SPEAKER_16: And it's it's very dark, it's a minor key, and it's it's a combination of uh I think it's just Eddie Experiment.
28:51
SPEAKER_09: I mean, it's way better than finish what you started.
28:54
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, I agree.
28:55
SPEAKER_09: I mean that that's that's my least favorite song on that album.
28:58
SPEAKER_16: So it's weird, it changes from a minor key to a major key.
29:19
SPEAKER_16: But serious lyrics compared to what Roth used to used to do.
29:24
SPEAKER_09: Well, you know, I mean, it I mean, you if you think about it, 5150 was kind of like it was kind of like that, you know, growing, you know, it was like, oh, we got a new guy.
29:33
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
29:33
SPEAKER_09: So we're gonna kind of do the same thing, but not real, but it's gonna be a little more high class.
29:38
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
29:38
SPEAKER_09: And then when they got the OEW and two, it was like, whoa!
29:41
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
29:42
SPEAKER_09: Oh, this is totally different.
29:43
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
29:43
SPEAKER_09: You know what I mean?
29:44
SPEAKER_16: So it's like a completely different band.
29:45
SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah.
29:46
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
29:46
SPEAKER_09: And you can't really That was really the start of the Van Hagar album.
29:49
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, we've talked about this.
29:50
SPEAKER_16: I mean, you cannot compare Van Halen and Van Hagar.
29:53
SPEAKER_09: No.
29:53
SPEAKER_16: You can't do it because they're two different bands.
29:55
SPEAKER_09: Two completely different bands.
29:56
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
29:57
SPEAKER_16: Um This comes from my favorite Van Hagar album.
30:01
SPEAKER_08: Oh.
30:01
SPEAKER_16: Um for Unlawful Cardinal Knowledge.
30:04
SPEAKER_16: Only because I think it's my favorite because the sound of it was especially Alex's drums.
30:12
SPEAKER_16: This is Pleasure Dome.
30:12
SPEAKER_16: This is Pleasure Dome.
30:13
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
30:14
SPEAKER_16: Um they call this a weird one.
30:18
SPEAKER_16: And I can understand it, yeah.
30:20
SPEAKER_09: Like the intro and it's kinda it's a different one.
30:23
SPEAKER_09: Uh compared to the other songs on the album.
30:25
SPEAKER_09: It's definitely different.
30:27
SPEAKER_16: Right.
30:29
SPEAKER_16: But I I don't know.
30:32
SPEAKER_16: I when Sammy starts singing too, I I love this song.
30:39
SPEAKER_16: Let me see what they wrote.
30:41
SPEAKER_16: For the most part, uh, for Unlevel Colonel Knowledge Mark to return to straightforward guitar rock for Van Halen, the hit single Right Now is the only song to feature keyboards.
30:48
SPEAKER_16: Almost everything else follows a stand in Hampton on steroids formula.
30:51
SPEAKER_16: But the seven-minute pleasure dome takes a weird turn into progressive rock.
30:56
SPEAKER_16: With the Van Halen brothers and Mike Anthony dairy each other to go deeper into King Crimson style madness.
31:01
SPEAKER_16: Hager's cosmically themed vocals are fine, but seem almost beside the point.
31:05
SPEAKER_16: When the band performed the song live, it was usually instrumental.
31:09
SPEAKER_16: I didn't know that.
31:27
SPEAKER_09: Very rock.
31:28
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's all this is not necessary.
31:52
SPEAKER_16: I think works.
32:01
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, I just I dig it.
32:02
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I like this song.
32:04
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
32:04
SPEAKER_16: Um the next one, I do think is not only weird, but completely unnecessary.
32:12
SPEAKER_16: And I don't normally say that about a Vanny Allen song, but from Balance.
32:17
SPEAKER_16: Uh it's the one right before the ballad on the album.
32:22
SPEAKER_09: Well, it's just it's just Eddie dropping stuff into a grand piano.
32:25
SPEAKER_09: Right.
32:26
SPEAKER_16: Like batteries and why call this, why why even name this?
32:29
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
32:34
SPEAKER_16: Uh supposedly there are hours of tapes documenting this, but Eddie mercifully mercifully selected the best 90 seconds for inclusion.
32:48
SPEAKER_16: It's it's and they call they they actually called it it's a track on the album.
32:53
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
32:53
SPEAKER_09: Strung out Strung out, yeah.
32:55
SPEAKER_09: It's like, come on.
32:56
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it's just yeah, it's completely if it never made the album, you never would have missed it.
33:00
SPEAKER_16: Right.
33:02
SPEAKER_16: So this is one of the ones that was it was a Japanese release.
33:07
SPEAKER_16: Uh, and it's featured on the rarities portion of the new release.
33:11
SPEAKER_16: The uh This is Crossing Over.
33:14
SPEAKER_16: Yes.
33:14
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
33:15
SPEAKER_16: Um A lot of people hype this song up.
33:20
SPEAKER_16: I don't think it's great.
33:22
SPEAKER_09: It's not very good.
33:23
SPEAKER_16: No.
33:24
SPEAKER_09: No.
33:24
SPEAKER_16: It seems like a thought.
33:26
SPEAKER_16: I mean an unfinished thought.
33:28
SPEAKER_09: Well, it's like we already dropped two bomb atomic bombs on Japan.
33:32
SPEAKER_09: Why would we have to continue to hurt them?
33:35
SPEAKER_09: Right.
33:36
SPEAKER_09: You know what I mean?
33:36
SPEAKER_16: Right.
33:39
SPEAKER_09: Uh I'm not saying it's bad, but it's definitely, I mean is it a song that I would like to jam to out every night?
33:49
SPEAKER_09: No.
33:49
SPEAKER_09: No.
33:50
SPEAKER_09: Not even close, man.
33:51
SPEAKER_09: Because it just seems very disjointed and it's weird.
33:55
SPEAKER_09: It really is weird.
33:56
SPEAKER_09: It is weird.
33:57
SPEAKER_16: It's a weird song.
33:58
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
33:59
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
33:59
SPEAKER_16: So I don't know where their heads were at when they were doing that one.
34:02
SPEAKER_16: And then of course, um.
34:10
SPEAKER_16: How many say I?
34:11
SPEAKER_16: This is a weird song.
34:12
SPEAKER_09: This is just annoying.
34:13
SPEAKER_16: This is from Van Halen 3, which we don't talk about.
34:15
SPEAKER_09: Well, that whole album is just weird.
34:17
SPEAKER_16: We don't talk about that album.
34:22
SPEAKER_16: Uh so Gary Sharone says um that.
34:26
SPEAKER_16: Wait, the piano bass track is reminiscent of a late-era Roger Waters ballad, and is an odd creative choice for the band, which was in the process of introducing its third singer, Gary Sharone.
34:37
SPEAKER_16: Um they forced me.
34:41
SPEAKER_16: Eddie said they forced him to do the vocal.
34:44
SPEAKER_16: Uh maybe we are Gary Sharone said maybe we were being too artsy fartsy, but I thought it was great.
34:52
SPEAKER_09: I think if it had done differently, it would it had it had it has potential to be a pretty great song.
34:59
SPEAKER_09: Well, the music is fine.
35:01
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
35:02
SPEAKER_11: Are you ever succinct?
35:05
SPEAKER_09: And Eddie's not a bad singer.
35:07
SPEAKER_11: She wanted to talk.
35:08
SPEAKER_09: But he was doing like a Tom Waits thing.
35:10
SPEAKER_16: He's not a lead singer.
35:11
SPEAKER_16: No, he's not, but although he was, he did, like before Rob joined.
35:15
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, he was the singer, yeah.
35:16
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
35:23
SPEAKER_19: How many?
35:24
SPEAKER_16: How many say now?
35:28
SPEAKER_16: Can you think of can you say who else could sing this and sing it better?
35:33
SPEAKER_09: Tom Waits.
35:34
unknown: No.
35:38
SPEAKER_09: Oh, you know, you know what we'd be great with this?
35:40
SPEAKER_09: Bob Dylan.
35:41
SPEAKER_09: No.
35:46
SPEAKER_16: Musically, I mean it's it's not bad, but it is a little all over the place.
35:50
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, it is, but there's no memorable melody.
35:54
SPEAKER_09: Not really, no.
35:56
SPEAKER_16: So yeah, I would say that's I would say that's a weird song.
35:58
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
35:59
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
35:59
SPEAKER_16: I agree.
36:00
SPEAKER_16: So I agree with most of what uh Ultimate Classic Rock said were the ten weirdest Van Halen songs.
36:05
SPEAKER_16: Was that the number one one?
36:06
SPEAKER_16: There were they weren't listed.
36:07
SPEAKER_16: It was just lists.
36:10
SPEAKER_16: Um I should say they weren't listed 10 to 1, but they were just listed.
36:14
SPEAKER_16: Oh gotcha.
36:14
SPEAKER_16: So um, you know, a couple of those I wouldn't agree with.
36:17
SPEAKER_16: Hot for Teacher, I don't think is a weird song.
36:19
SPEAKER_16: I don't think that's a weird song.
36:20
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
36:21
SPEAKER_09: Um I would think everybody wants some would be weird.
36:25
SPEAKER_09: Hot for teacher.
36:26
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, me too.
36:27
SPEAKER_09: Me too.
36:28
SPEAKER_16: But I love I love that song.
36:29
SPEAKER_16: Let me move on to um another one of my favorite bands, Def Leopard.
36:33
SPEAKER_16: Uh, because I saw this article.
36:35
SPEAKER_16: And Rick Allen, uh the drummer, extraordinary, the uh, what do they call him?
36:40
SPEAKER_16: The Thunder God.
36:42
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
36:44
SPEAKER_16: Um He would love to put a song back in the set list.
36:49
SPEAKER_16: Um because they're going back on tour uh pretty soon.
36:53
SPEAKER_16: There's one tune he wanted to perform regularly once more.
36:57
SPEAKER_16: Uh he'd love to play, let's see.
37:00
SPEAKER_16: It was on Pyromania.
37:02
SPEAKER_16: It was on Pyromania.
37:04
SPEAKER_16: Um But it was it was overshadowed by the singles photograph Rock of Ages.
37:10
SPEAKER_16: But it's one of Rick Allen's favorite.
37:13
SPEAKER_09: I'm gonna die hard of the hunter.
37:19
SPEAKER_09: It is! It is I knew it, man, because I love this freaking song.
37:24
SPEAKER_16: Do you know that I wonder if there's footage of it on YouTube?
37:29
SPEAKER_16: They did a Vegas residency.
37:31
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
37:32
SPEAKER_16: Right?
37:33
SPEAKER_16: And I don't know if they did Pyromania album all the way through, but I think they opened with this one time.
37:40
SPEAKER_16: Oh, that'd be funny.
37:41
SPEAKER_16: And this was like a couple, this was like maybe five, six, well no, their Vegas residency, how long ago was that?
37:46
SPEAKER_16: Maybe six or seven years ago.
37:48
SPEAKER_09: That was pre-COVID.
37:50
SPEAKER_16: But they sounded amazing.
37:58
SPEAKER_16: And and you know, they don't use I wanna see if I can I wanna see if it's on there.
38:02
SPEAKER_16: Uh let's see.
38:03
SPEAKER_16: I don't know.
38:04
SPEAKER_16: If I type in leader.
38:23
SPEAKER_16: The planet Hollywood 2019.
38:25
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, there you go.
38:26
SPEAKER_16: So it wasn't seven years ago, but so this is them live in Vegas.
38:36
SPEAKER_16: Now they don't use I'm not saying they don't use auto tune, I don't know that.
38:41
SPEAKER_16: But they sing everything live.
38:44
SPEAKER_16: I don't think they use it.
38:45
SPEAKER_09: There's effects on it, that's true.
38:46
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, there's effects, but they don't use auto tune.
38:48
SPEAKER_09: I hope not.
39:20
SPEAKER_16: Sound amazing?
39:21
SPEAKER_16: I know.
39:31
SPEAKER_16: So this is not in their current set.
39:33
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
39:34
SPEAKER_16: But he loved this is his favorite one to do.
39:42
SPEAKER_09: This is if they'd ever released this as a single, it would have killed me.
39:46
SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
39:47
SPEAKER_16: I agree.
39:50
SPEAKER_16: Um, I've seen them live.
39:55
SPEAKER_16: They're just amazing live.
39:57
SPEAKER_16: It's unreal.
39:58
SPEAKER_16: Anyway, uh, I thought that was a cool little article.
40:00
SPEAKER_16: But now we want to move on to one of your favorite bands.
40:04
SPEAKER_16: Um because there's um there's a good indication that Getty Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush could be open to performing as Rush again.
40:17
SPEAKER_16: Wouldn't it?
40:18
SPEAKER_16: And I don't think anybody would fault him for it.
40:20
SPEAKER_09: No.
40:21
SPEAKER_09: You know, everybody would love it if they came back.
40:23
SPEAKER_16: Because, you know, they retired Rush because Neil died.
40:28
SPEAKER_09: No, they retired it before that.
40:30
SPEAKER_16: Well Neil died.
40:32
SPEAKER_09: I think he had been sick, and that that was the reason to stop.
40:35
SPEAKER_16: Right.
40:36
SPEAKER_09: But of course we didn't know that at the time.
40:38
SPEAKER_09: This is just all retrospective.
40:39
SPEAKER_16: Well, according to this, the band called it quits in 2020 after the January death.
40:44
SPEAKER_16: That year.
40:45
SPEAKER_09: But they had retired from touring before that.
40:47
SPEAKER_09: True.
40:48
SPEAKER_16: So singer and bassist uh said they would continue following the death of uh they wouldn't continue.
40:54
SPEAKER_16: Um let's see.
40:56
SPEAKER_16: Uh said he'd consider working with Lifeson again under the Rush name.
40:59
SPEAKER_16: The decision was made after the pair reunited on stage at last year's Taylor Hawkins tribute shows in London and LA.
41:04
SPEAKER_16: The former bandmates played Rush songs with Tools Danny Carey, Omar Hakeem, and Red Hot Chili Pepper's drummer Chad Smith.
41:11
SPEAKER_16: Uh the bat band's leader Dave Grohl also joined Lee in Lifeson on Stage.
41:15
SPEAKER_16: I remember that.
41:15
SPEAKER_16: That was awesome.
41:16
SPEAKER_16: Uh it has been a taboo subject, and playing those songs again with a third person was the elephant in the room, and that kind of disappeared after that performance.
41:24
SPEAKER_16: Uh, it was nice to know that if we decide to go out, Alex and I, whether we want went out as part of a new thing or whether we just wanted to go out and play Rush as Rush, we could do that now.
41:34
SPEAKER_16: So that's pretty cool.
41:35
SPEAKER_16: That would be awesome.
41:37
SPEAKER_16: Um the idea was planted in Lee's head by Paul McCartney, who congratulated Lee and Lifeson at the Hawkins Tribute after party and said they should go back on the road.
41:47
SPEAKER_16: Thank you, Sir Paul.
41:49
SPEAKER_16: Um following the reunion in uh that year, Lee noted that he and Lifeson got together in the studio for the first time in years and jammed.
41:58
SPEAKER_16: Fly on the wall.
42:00
SPEAKER_16: Uh Lee, who star who's about to start a book tour for his new memoir, My F in Life.
42:05
SPEAKER_16: Which I'm getting.
42:06
SPEAKER_16: Said Lifeson.
42:07
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, that's it on the way, right?
42:08
SPEAKER_16: It's coming this week.
42:09
SPEAKER_16: Said uh Lifeson was excited, his office rolled in after the Hawkins shows, but the guitarist had surgery in July for stomach problems.
42:15
SPEAKER_16: He needs to feel good and feel healthy and strong.
42:18
SPEAKER_16: And then maybe we have a discussion.
42:20
SPEAKER_16: The two former bandmates put together for the first time on stage since the death of Peart at the two uh Hawkins tribute shows.
42:26
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, we know that, we just said that.
42:27
SPEAKER_16: Um so since Rush broke up, Lifeston started a new band, Envy of None, while Lee is kept busy on his book as well as his other projects.
42:35
SPEAKER_16: Rush also released a pinball game last year.
42:39
SPEAKER_16: I didn't know that.
42:42
SPEAKER_16: Um I do want to show you remind me to show you um I think that's what it's called right there.
42:55
SPEAKER_16: I will play the the um the preview, the trailer for this.
43:00
SPEAKER_16: Uh Getty Lee documentary.
43:03
SPEAKER_16: Uh and the and the trailer uh the the documentary is called uh Bass Players Are Human Too.
43:10
SPEAKER_16: No, our bass players human too.
43:12
SPEAKER_16: Just listen to it.
43:12
SPEAKER_16: Knock knock anybody home.
43:16
SPEAKER_11: Welcome to a different kind of music show.
43:19
SPEAKER_11: I'm trying to show the world that a bass player can do many things.
43:24
SPEAKER_11: Absolutely.
43:25
SPEAKER_11: That covers all the basses.
43:26
SPEAKER_11: I feel like bass playing is so easy.
43:29
SPEAKER_11: Don't say that.
43:30
SPEAKER_11: Join me, Getty Lee, singer and bass guitarist of the band Rush.
43:34
SPEAKER_11: Hello! As I travel to the homes of four bass legends and dive deep into their lives.
43:40
SPEAKER_11: Off we go.
43:41
SPEAKER_11: Wow, this is intense.
43:42
SPEAKER_11: I'm full of surprises, my friend.
43:44
SPEAKER_11: And they're inspiration.
43:46
SPEAKER_11: Canning is a lot like playing the bass guitar.
43:48
SPEAKER_11: After you do a fine bass part, it's in the can.
43:52
SPEAKER_11: Plus some fun making music.
43:57
SPEAKER_11: Now that's Effin Magic.
44:00
SPEAKER_11: As I try to answer one really important question.
44:03
SPEAKER_11: Are paramount bass players human too?
44:05
SPEAKER_01: Yes, I believe so.
44:07
SPEAKER_12: 14 years old.
44:08
SPEAKER_12: If I could have imagined the day when I'd be helping Getty Lee off with his coveralls, I would have myself.
44:14
SPEAKER_12: Is this what they call good TV?
44:16
SPEAKER_01: Getty Lee asks, are bass players human too?
44:19
SPEAKER_01: New docuseries streaming December 5th.
44:21
SPEAKER_16: December 5th on Paramount Plus.
44:23
SPEAKER_16: Nice.
44:23
SPEAKER_16: So he talks to uh Chris Novelchek of Nirvana, Melissa Aftermoor of Hole, Melissa, I should say, Robert Tujillo of Metallica, and Les Claypool of Primus.
44:35
SPEAKER_16: And then of course they jam.
44:36
SPEAKER_09: Well they have to, man.
44:37
SPEAKER_16: So I saw that and I was like, wow, that would be cool to see.
44:40
SPEAKER_16: I'm watching that.
44:41
SPEAKER_16: So December 5th, that comes out.
44:43
SPEAKER_16: So I'm uh I'm pretty pretty pumped about that one.
44:46
SPEAKER_16: That's gonna be awesome.
44:47
SPEAKER_16: Uh and the other thing about Rush while we're on them, uh Getty Lee can't decide which Rush album is the worst.
44:53
SPEAKER_16: He says immediately.
44:55
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, immediately Cressive Steel comes to mind is what he says.
44:59
SPEAKER_16: But I've met so many fans who love that record, and I think Presto disappointed a lot of fans.
45:04
SPEAKER_16: The songwriter was a little flat.
45:07
SPEAKER_16: Uh Cress of Steel was their third album, right?
45:09
SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
45:10
SPEAKER_16: Um it went gold in 75.
45:12
SPEAKER_16: Yeah, so it'd be third.
45:13
SPEAKER_16: Uh Presto helped Rush close out the 80s.
45:16
SPEAKER_16: Um interestingly enough, selecting Russia's best album became easier for Getty League.
45:23
SPEAKER_16: Do you know what he thinks their best album was?
45:27
SPEAKER_16: Might surprise you.
45:29
SPEAKER_09: 2112?
45:30
SPEAKER_09: Nope.
45:31

53:55
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
53:55
SPEAKER_09: Where does that come from?
53:57

54:02
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, sure.
54:03
SPEAKER_09: Uh okay.
54:04
SPEAKER_09: I think I think I think i because if it's anything like the um like the phrase sleep tight is that early beds were constructed of ropes that had to be uh tightened uh occasionally to uh for comfort.
54:20
SPEAKER_09: So I th I think that's a a throwback to that.
54:26
SPEAKER_16: So you're so you were serious.
54:28
SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah, I'm being I'm actually being serious this time.
