• 0:31
  None. What's up, everybody?
• 0:47
  Late night, Kifi. I'm feeling very fucking silly.
• 0:51
  So we're just, it's been a week, man.
• 0:54
  It's been a week. Let's just do the damn thing and
• 1:00
  yeah, we're here. We're here to rock.
• 1:02
  I appreciate TikTok wants to do whatever the fuck it wants to do
• 1:08
  tonight. Doesn't want to cooperate.
• 1:10
  It's all good, you know, we'll get it together soon, but I'm
• 1:16
  masking up. There's a reason for the game.
• 1:18
  You'll see why in a minute. Thanks for being here.
• 1:20
  We appreciate everybody. Grimm is here.
• 1:23
  Kenneth is here. What's up again, Kenneth?
• 1:25
  Dead horse theory. Kenneth, I appreciate you being
• 1:29
  here. Thanks, man.
• 1:30
  It is wild and wacky. It has been a time.
• 1:34
  It has been in a very, very exasperating week.
• 1:36
  It's been a bit of an exasperating day.
• 1:38
  I was supposed to go live earlier today and the gear would
• 1:43
  not gear, it would not cooperate.
• 1:46
  So you know, we had to just make it work the best we can and
• 1:53
  that's all we can. But I'm here now.
• 1:55
  I'm trying to get a TikTok to to get on.
• 1:58
  Let's see if it works now, but thanks, I'm all right.
• 2:02
  Should be starting in a second. Thanks for being here.
• 2:04
  This is our weekly Rocket Metal news show.
• 2:06
  If you've never been here before and this is your first time,
• 2:09
  give us a like and a sub and a follow.
• 2:11
  We just hit a big milestone on the tube of you and we have been
• 2:17
  tried and trying hard to try to be a little more consistent
• 2:20
  about when I go live, but not today.
• 2:23
  Did not happen for us. So I appreciate you all being
• 2:25
  here. It's Friday everywhere in the
• 2:28
  world. So thanks for being here.
• 2:30
  We appreciate you. This is your show, too.
• 2:33
  I'm fine with saying that at the top of my interviews.
• 2:35
  This is your interview. This is your show.
• 2:38
  Let us know what the what you know and what you want to talk
• 2:43
  about. But I have a whole thing to talk
• 2:46
  about. All right, Let's do that.
• 2:49
  So, yeah. Anybody else get like, you know,
• 2:52
  the equivalent for the music business of like a spam caller,
• 2:56
  like a do not call list caller is, hey, are you open to
• 3:00
  collabing with us? And it's like we cover a wider
• 3:05
  array of music than most of our peers.
• 3:08
  But you know, like not everything you would have to
• 3:13
  know. You would have to know like what
• 3:17
  we do and don't cover. And it's like, it's very obvious
• 3:19
  if you don't look it on my site when you approach me, I know
• 3:23
  immediately. BL Street is here.
• 3:29
  Angelica Rain is here. Gunty is here.
• 3:34
  Thanks for being a waffle man. That sounds like fun waffle man.
• 3:38
  So, yeah, lots to talk about. Just a heavy week in the world.
• 3:41
  So I thought I would bring a little levity with me to the
• 3:45
  show. Let us bring in the deck.
• 3:48
  The best experience for this show is YouTube, Twitch,
• 3:52
  Facebook, Instagram, but we're also hanging out with you on the
• 3:56
  tick of the talk. I'll answer your questions.
• 3:58
  Dillinger is here very late at night for you.
• 4:00
  Dillinger, I'm very sorry for going late.
• 4:02
  I I attempted to go on live around 5 O clock, Pacific Time,
• 4:07
  8:00 PM Eastern. The gear shit the bed and then I
• 4:10
  had kind of a, a music industry emergency, the equivalent of the
• 4:15
  music industry emergency. And so I had to handle that and
• 4:18
  then the time was gone for me to for me to go do the show.
• 4:23
  So I got a mask on. I'm, I'm trying to have some
• 4:25
  fun. It's been a very, very tough
• 4:28
  week. And as we all know, we're going
• 4:30
  to talk all about it. So let us dispense with the
• 4:34
  pleasantries and do what we always do.
• 4:36
  We start with the announcements. And here I'll just begin this
• 4:40
  for a minute. And when the gag is comes up,
• 4:42
  I'll the gag while I have the mask on.
• 4:44
  You'll know why I have the mask on and then I'll take the mask
• 4:47
  off. But for now, I'm going to see if
• 4:48
  I can hang on to it the entire time.
• 4:50
  We just hit 6000 subscribers on YouTube.
• 4:53
  That's the people like the Dillinger compound and other
• 4:55
  people. Our everydayers are real ones.
• 4:59
  We had 1.4 million views on YouTube.
• 5:02
  I know that seems like a paltry amount compared to influencers
• 5:05
  and kid fluencers and family fluencers or whatever the fuck.
• 5:10
  And yeah, I don't know, Ken Compton Box says I get hit up on
• 5:17
  SoundCloud by producers that want my money to re record my
• 5:21
  own music. Fucking jokers, bro.
• 5:23
  What a fucking what? A bunch of balloon heads.
• 5:26
  What a bunch of balloon heads. OK, again, once again, we are
• 5:32
  from ghostcultman.com. Go check us out on the web.
• 5:35
  We are. You're not sucky.
• 5:36
  Metal sucks. You're less mean.
• 5:38
  Lamb goats. That's what we are.
• 5:40
  That's what we do Dark Angel tour hits Toronto for the first
• 5:44
  time ever. Killer package.
• 5:45
  We talked about that tour last week.
• 5:47
  I think I took it out of the show this week.
• 5:49
  UP is here. Rap Yard is here.
• 5:51
  Andrew, Lillian. Hello.
• 5:53
  Hello. Hello.
• 5:56
  So yeah, I'm super pumped about that new Dark Angel album and
• 6:00
  music. I don't know what what people
• 6:01
  were like shitting on the new song.
• 6:03
  Thanks so much, Ken. I appreciate you.
• 6:05
  We've seen you here before on YouTube and feel free to DM me
• 6:09
  your music and we will check it out.
• 6:12
  So yeah, big milestones on YouTube.
• 6:14
  Obviously the number one news of the week is the death of Ozzy
• 6:17
  Osbourne. This is like unbelievably
• 6:20
  terrible. I saw a really funny tweet today
• 6:22
  that was like, check on your white friends because this is
• 6:24
  like when Tupac died for us. And I was like, yeah, Spooky
• 6:27
  Gene is passing by. Spooky Gene is a real one.
• 6:30
  We appreciate you, Spooky. Thanks for being here.
• 6:32
  It's been a long time. So obviously we're going to talk
• 6:34
  a lot about Ozzy this week and we've done a bunch of Ozzy theme
• 6:39
  material posts, several live streams just about Ozzie, one
• 6:45
  with just me as a stand alone podcast and one with my other
• 6:48
  podcast, the Glacial Musical podcast.
• 6:51
  I went to dinner tonight when I couldn't do the show on time and
• 6:54
  I had dinner with friends from New York and we talked mostly
• 6:58
  about Ozzie. So it was really hard, not going
• 7:00
  to lie. But there were not.
• 7:02
  There were other deaths in the music world this week as well as
• 7:05
  the entertainment world. Malcolm Jamal Warner, the
• 7:08
  beloved Theo Huxtable from television, died at 54, right
• 7:12
  around my age. Drowned in an accident on
• 7:15
  vacation swimming with his young daughter.
• 7:18
  Just horrible. Just horribly horrible.
• 7:23
  Guy was wonderful, good actor, was a very.
• 7:26
  People don't realize what a acclaimed television director he
• 7:29
  had become. You might have remembered him
• 7:32
  for a minor role in the last few seasons of Sons of Anarchy as a
• 7:37
  grim bastard, as the number 2 grim bastard to TO if you
• 7:40
  remember. I'm just just a big fan of this
• 7:43
  guy. He had a lot of love and and
• 7:45
  light in his heart. Dude, you know it's pretty
• 7:49
  funny. The week before Slayer announced
• 7:53
  their reunion, I found a meme of a stitch.
• 7:56
  A needlepoint stitch, right? That said, Slayer rules and I
• 8:01
  wrote just an what I thought was innocuous post onto it on
• 8:05
  Instagram. That said, doesn't it seem like
• 8:08
  the world went to shit after Slayer retired?
• 8:13
  And really, that shit blew up? It was a huge viral post for us.
• 8:17
  I'm not sure why honestly. And I wish I knew who made the
• 8:21
  original because I credit them. And then a week later, Slayer's
• 8:25
  publicist called me on the phone.
• 8:28
  And this is extremely out of the ordinary latest publicist, by
• 8:31
  the way, of Reps Anthrax and the Pixies and a bunch of other
• 8:35
  huge, huge bands. And we have a good rapport.
• 8:39
  One of my very first, like hugest things ever in my career
• 8:42
  was going to cover Anthrax Day at the Big Four in Yankee
• 8:47
  Stadium in New York City. And I was what, like the only
• 8:49
  metal press there that just, I was the only one that asked.
• 8:52
  No one else asked. I asked.
• 8:54
  I knew I had advance notice that anthrax was going to get the key
• 8:57
  to the city of the Bronx with their two Bronx born members,
• 9:01
  Charlie Benante and Frank Bellow, uncle and nephew from
• 9:06
  the E Tremont section of the Bronx, right across town from
• 9:09
  where I'm from. And the other side, the wrong
• 9:12
  side of the tracks where I'm from.
• 9:13
  And so that publicist, Heidi Fitzgerald Robinson has always
• 9:19
  looked out, always looked out. And so she called me.
• 9:28
  She's like, hey, did you make this meme?
• 9:30
  I was like, well, I found the meme.
• 9:32
  I didn't necessarily, you know, I didn't necessarily make it,
• 9:38
  but I found it and I posted it. Did you write this?
• 9:40
  I was like, yeah, that's me. I wrote that.
• 9:42
  I do most of quite a bit of the social media of goes Colts
• 9:45
  partially and say some of our success is due to our integrity
• 9:48
  and some of it is due to me and social media.
• 9:50
  But she's like, OK, cool, there's some news coming about
• 9:55
  Slayer soon and stay tuned. I was like, OK, cool.
• 9:59
  And literally the first line of these Slate e-mail subjects,
• 10:03
  Slayer reunites for brief festivals in 2024.
• 10:08
  And the first line of the e-mail says, isn't it weird how the
• 10:13
  whole world went to shit after Slayer retired?
• 10:16
  Ghost cult, Ghost cult magazine. I was like, Oh my God, this is
• 10:19
  insane. We've had some viral moments,
• 10:21
  infamously Maynard with the snap, the Thanos snap or he
• 10:25
  snapped Taylor Swift away. That was us.
• 10:28
  We we blew up with that. But yeah, Bowie, man, 2016, a
• 10:33
  terrible fucking year. Bowie, Lemmy, George Michael and
• 10:37
  Prince. I mean, Bowie was right after
• 10:39
  that. But like all in a row, just how
• 10:41
  fucking terrible 6 at media is here what I put up.
• 10:45
  So yeah, Malcolm Jamal Warner, right in the childhood.
• 10:48
  Chuck Mangione died the same day as Ozzy.
• 10:52
  Chuck was 82. You may not know who he is, and
• 10:57
  he's certainly not a rock or metal person, but Chuck Mangione
• 11:00
  is one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time.
• 11:03
  He's best known for playing the flugelhorn, which is like a very
• 11:06
  unique mutant version of a coronet mixed with a trumpet,
• 11:11
  basically a variant of the trumpet with a big bell.
• 11:14
  And it's got a very, almost like a, it's called contralto.
• 11:18
  It's a range of female singers. So it's very expressive.
• 11:21
  And he was brilliant. Him and his brother had a jazz
• 11:23
  band. He originally got his start in
• 11:26
  Art Blakey's band in the 60s, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers,
• 11:30
  which was like the fucking Hall of Fame for trumpeters.
• 11:33
  Clifford Brown, who is my favorite jazz musician maybe
• 11:36
  ever, and a bunch of others. Just incredible.
• 11:40
  And he had a very long career. And you know his music, even if
• 11:43
  you don't know the man, he's incredible.
• 11:48
  This one also, this popped up while we were live streaming the
• 11:51
  other day. George, I'm probably going to
• 11:54
  say this wrong. George Kumiens, who was the
• 11:56
  original guitar player here of Golden Earring.
• 12:01
  You know the K Channels rock songs in the 70s.
• 12:05
  We've got this thing and it's called Radar Love.
• 12:09
  That's Golden Earring. They also had Twilight Zone and
• 12:11
  a bunch of other songs. George died.
• 12:13
  He was 77. Yep.
• 12:15
  Golden Earring. Got it.
• 12:16
  Radar love, Radar love. Good song.
• 12:18
  It's on the Wayne's World soundtrack.
• 12:21
  I mean, I, I feel like this Aussie death is going to be an
• 12:24
  absolute avalanche of deaths of, of people over 75 just to go see
• 12:30
  your bands. If you love them, go see your
• 12:32
  artists now. How corny or whatever it is that
• 12:34
  you love. If you love a band or an artist,
• 12:36
  go see them because they're going to start dropping like
• 12:38
  flies. I was really afraid of this and
• 12:41
  then this one kind of shocked the shit out of me.
• 12:45
  Peter Jackson. Not that Peter Jackson, but
• 12:47
  Peter Jackson, the drummer for Kill Whitney Dead, died just
• 12:53
  suddenly. Kill Whitney Dead was like an
• 12:55
  original metal core band. Broke up, reunited in 2017 and
• 13:00
  more or less has stayed together since then, which really fucking
• 13:04
  sucks. Young guy.
• 13:07
  I don't know what happened, but very sad.
• 13:10
  That's him in the back there in the back row.
• 13:14
  And obviously some anniversaries of deaths.
• 13:16
  Obviously, Chester Bennington's death was, you know, last
• 13:19
  weekend. The anniversary of his death
• 13:20
  just seems like a very Dark World without him in it.
• 13:23
  However you feel about Linkin Park coming back.
• 13:26
  And then of course, Chester's death is forever tied to his
• 13:29
  best friend Chris Cornell's death.
• 13:32
  Again, I say this all the time. I may be goofy, I may do silly
• 13:35
  shit on the Internet, but if you are struggling or suffering in
• 13:38
  any way, our DMS are open. You are not alone.
• 13:41
  It gets better to not give up. I'll say again, I saw the Harley
• 13:46
  Cromag documentary recently and then Harley gave a speech at the
• 13:50
  end that he was like, he was friends with Anthony Bourdain,
• 13:52
  who took his own life. And he was like, hey, he, you
• 13:55
  know, maybe took his own life. But what he really died from was
• 13:58
  a broken heart because he didn't think it was going to get any
• 14:00
  better. And it does get better.
• 14:01
  And he wishes he had called them, you know, and I agree.
• 14:04
  I wish he had called them. Internet is being weird.
• 14:09
  Oh, there it is. That's why all right.
• 14:12
  Should be better now on on TikTok here, everybody.
• 14:18
  And then Justin Lowe, who was a guitar player for After the
• 14:26
  Burial, also passed away on This Week 7-8 years ago.
• 14:31
  So just very sad. What a killer guitar player and
• 14:36
  a great artist, really an incredible progressive metal
• 14:39
  artist. Very sad to lose him.
• 14:42
  And Jonathan Schnepp, don't know if you remember him, Comic books
• 14:46
  writer, music video director, worked on Metalocalypse, used to
• 14:52
  have a YouTube channel where he did reviews of of geek stuff.
• 14:55
  And he died suddenly on this weekend five years ago.
• 15:00
  Very sad. We were big fans.
• 15:04
  And then I know Hulk Hogan died and I got to go here with Iron
• 15:08
  Sheik. Fuck Hulk Hogan, then fuck Hulk,
• 15:10
  and now fuck Hulk Hogan forever. I don't have to tell you why
• 15:14
  he's sketchy and shitty, but you know it sucks when your heroes
• 15:18
  let you down. They do say never meet your
• 15:19
  heroes. Most of the people I've ever
• 15:21
  met, including Ozzy, was super nice.
• 15:24
  Super fucking nice. But you know Hulk Hogan's a
• 15:26
  douche forever. Anyway, couple of on a more
• 15:32
  positive note, I'm about to talk about Dusty in a few minutes.
• 15:36
  A lot of shit is going on with Dusty.
• 15:37
  What a fucking knucklehead. Celebrating.
• 15:40
  A lot of people had birthdays this week, but just a couple to
• 15:43
  mention. Martin Gore of Depeche Mode had
• 15:46
  a birthday this week, as well as Byron Davis today of God Forbid,
• 15:49
  as we record this overnight on Friday, late night.
• 15:53
  Byron in particular is an incredible guy.
• 15:55
  I've got to meet him and hang out with him.
• 15:59
  A little bit of just a reminder, Nate Garrett from Spirit of
• 16:06
  Drift has canceled all the touring plans for now and
• 16:09
  postponed recording and his wife has stomach cancer and there's a
• 16:13
  GoFundMe on to raise money for her treatment.
• 16:16
  They have a little kid obviously hearing this picture.
• 16:18
  Just very sad assuming she's going to be OK, but she's a
• 16:23
  little rough road ahead of her. We're just trying to raise
• 16:25
  awareness for that GoFundMe. Also this week in music history
• 16:29
  was the anniversary of the No Life to Leather demo, not
• 16:34
  featuring Dave Mustaine, but featuring Ron Mcgoverny on bass
• 16:38
  and multiple guitar solos from Lloyd Grant.
• 16:42
  No Life to Leather does have Mustaine's got some of his songs
• 16:45
  on here that they continue to play.
• 16:47
  Pretty fun that they had like a stamp with their logo on it for
• 16:50
  this primitive cassette tape kind of fun.
• 16:53
  But yeah, Metallica, No Life to Leather, no, no thrash metal
• 16:57
  without Metallica and Exodus and a bunch of other bands.
• 17:00
  So I don't know why I said that about Mustaine.
• 17:05
  The beef is back with Mustaine and Megadeth and Ant and
• 17:09
  Metallica over Metallica wanted to put out No Life to Leather as
• 17:13
  a record store. They release.
• 17:14
  I don't know why it's going to sound terrible, but Mustaine
• 17:18
  wouldn't sign off on it when they he found out he wasn't
• 17:20
  going to get any money, which is crazy.
• 17:25
  Other albums celebrating an anniversary today.
• 17:27
  Lamb of God's comeback album Sturm and Drunk Lamb of God 7
• 17:32
  came out this week 7-8 years ago.
• 17:37
  Anthrax is volume 8. The Threat is Real came out this
• 17:41
  week in 1998. A very underrated Bush album.
• 17:44
  Did not get hurt a lot. Dead Horse Theory says that he
• 17:49
  got married when you heard about Ozzy right after.
• 17:52
  Oh well, Congrats on your wedding.
• 17:53
  Don't let that spoil it. I know Corey Taylor always talks
• 17:56
  about Dimebag getting murdered on his birthday and how
• 18:00
  devastating it was for him because he loved Pantera.
• 18:03
  So dead horse theory. Congrats on the wedding and
• 18:06
  people do pass away. My mom died almost on my
• 18:09
  birthday which has been like a mind fuck for the rest of my
• 18:12
  life. But like, I know that she would
• 18:15
  have been mad at me for not celebrating my own birthday.
• 18:18
  She would have been pissed. Other albums celebrating
• 18:22
  anniversaries. Here's a Symphony X album.
• 18:24
  Symphony X. The only band I ever fell asleep
• 18:26
  watching but this is a good record.
• 18:31
  Pantera Cowboys from Hell came out 35 years ago yesterday.
• 18:37
  Holy fuck balls. And the Acacia stream five years
• 18:42
  to the day they released a new video last week.
• 18:45
  We talked about on the show, the KC stream Slow Decay came out
• 18:50
  was one of the smartest actual roll outs of a of a music I've
• 18:54
  ever seen. And I'm very excited about their
• 18:57
  new stuff coming up. So and then just a personal
• 19:00
  thing. If you followed Ghost Cult for a
• 19:01
  very long time, you know that we put on two or three charity
• 19:07
  festivals to support. It's going to be some garbage
• 19:13
  truck bullshit. Now because I'm doing this late
• 19:16
  at night, there's been we put on 2 charity shows to raise money
• 19:19
  for Nepal when they had earthquakes in 2015 is one of
• 19:22
  the very first things we ever sponsored or a part of.
• 19:25
  So Metal from Nepal was a featured A tribute to Megadeth
• 19:31
  with an incredible array of metal musicians, Caricature,
• 19:34
  Sonic Pulse, Epicenter, Thrash Hole and more.
• 19:39
  That was at once in Somerville, Mass when I lived in Boston.
• 19:43
  Good times. A lot of our friends and fans
• 19:45
  came out, it was great. Just a reminder if you feel like

• 20:08
  I've worked in the music business for 20 years.
• 20:10
  I had a band for 20 years. I'm back in a band again for the
• 20:14
  first time in a long time. But this mask is starting to
• 20:16
  bother me. And if you want to drop us a
• 20:18

  design is here. Lucky Magic is here, PK is here.
• 20:43

  will follow you back. So yeah, there's our menu,
• 20:58
  there's our cash app in case you want to check it out.
• 21:01
  And now it's time for some features.
• 21:02
  I'll put myself back on the screen for this one.
• 21:04
  Here we go, Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 21:07
  Hey, hey, it's me. I'm still here with the mask on.
• 21:09
  Why? So features this week include,
• 21:14
  obviously Ozzy, right? Like just again, this is the
• 21:16
  number one story of the week. If you've got a favorite Ozzy
• 21:21
  memory or song or Black Sabbath's favorite memory or
• 21:24
  song, drop it. We spent a lot of time talking
• 21:26
  about him. We will continue to talk about
• 21:28
  him for a long time, I guess. It was revealed today that they
• 21:33
  paramedics came to his home in the UK and tried to revive him
• 21:36
  for two hours to no avail. They wanted to keep trying to
• 21:40
  save him, which is I guess thoughtful.
• 21:42
  But you know, everybody's wishes at the end of life wishes should
• 21:45
  be respected. Tomic Cataract is here again.
• 21:51
  Last week I did a live stream, but I'm trying to do a little
• 21:54
  more stand alone live streams every week.
• 21:55
  Just a one or two, if I can, on top of this show, on top of my
• 21:58
  other podcast we did and and lawsuits for all three major two
• 22:02
  major lawsuits going on right now and a third that's about to
• 22:06
  happen. So that's fun.
• 22:07
  Go check that out on the channel when you're done watching us
• 22:09
  here. Some other interesting stuff
• 22:14
  that happened today. 10X Tantrum is a brand new punk rock and
• 22:21
  alternative rock super group who premiered their debut single and
• 22:24
  video. They have some semi famous
• 22:25
  people in the band. They did a nice job sharing it
• 22:27
  around. You would not believe how many
• 22:30
  people don't share anything we do.
• 22:35
  Like even when we do an album review or an interview with
• 22:38
  them, they just don't share it. I don't know why.
• 22:40
  Genius Malingus, you have a cool fucking name.
• 22:43
  I wish that was my screen name. Genius Malingus, why don't I
• 22:46
  think of that? That's a good band name.
• 22:48
  Interviews this week by me include Alan Niven.
• 22:53
  If you don't know that name, you certainly know the bands he
• 22:55
  helped make internationally famous.
• 22:57
  Guns and Roses. He was primarily, primarily
• 23:00
  responsible for their entire whole first act up until Usual
• 23:05
  Illusion when he was fired by Axel.
• 23:07
  He launched Great White. He got Dock and signed.
• 23:10
  He has a million stories and he shared some of them with me.
• 23:12
  He's got a brand new book out called Sound and Fury that is
• 23:15
  probably one of the best books I've ever read by anybody that
• 23:19
  has ever worked in the music industry.
• 23:20
  That Freeman guy is here. Gregory Wicks is here.
• 23:23
  Very cool, very cool. So Alan Niven, if you love 80's
• 23:27
  rock and metal, you need this book in your life.
• 23:31
  And I was a real honor. And Alan was a quite a gentleman
• 23:34
  and, and I was really surprised I had this sort of an idea of
• 23:38
  him, but I didn't know him. And I got to really know him, A,
• 23:41
  through this book and B, through this conversation.
• 23:44
  And he said he would hang out with me again and do another
• 23:46
  one. So that's kind of fun.
• 23:48
  That's fine. Here's the payment details if
• 23:52
  you need them. I always forget to put that up.
• 23:55
  Also, I interviewed Gus Rios, you know, Gus's work from Death
• 23:59
  to All Left to Die and Gruesome, but also the debut of Cold
• 24:04
  Slither right in the childhood and the childhood gets taken
• 24:07
  away with the deaths of Ozzy and Michael Jamal Warner and other
• 24:10
  things. And then then right back to the
• 24:12
  childhood. Cold Slither is the band from
• 24:15
  the GI Joe comics in the 80s. This is unbelievable.
• 24:22
  So like, oh man, there's a story, Kenneth, about how Dawkin
• 24:26
  got to be the engineer on Great White.
• 24:28
  I'll talk. That's in the book.
• 24:29
  Also Alan Niven, Sound and Fury. Check it out.
• 24:33
  So I interviewed Gus. They put together this band of
• 24:37
  just metal legends, Doctor Ross Sewage and Matt Harvey from
• 24:43
  Exhumed. Gus who sings and plays guitar
• 24:46
  as well as being in world class drummer and he's all over the
• 24:49
  new Gruesome record, which is amazing.
• 24:50
  We have an interview coming up with Matt Harvey to talk about
• 24:52
  that and Andy from KMFD. So they basically made the the
• 24:57
  Cobra band, Zartan and the Dreadnoks band from the GI Joe
• 25:02
  cartoons and comic books and did it for real.
• 25:05
  And they had permission from Hasbro and they had samples from
• 25:08
  the movie and the and the comic books and just unbelievably well
• 25:12
  done. And I had this incredibly fun
• 25:14
  interview with Gus about this and they are we have some more
• 25:18
  cults litter news, but we have Comic Con this weekend in San
• 25:20
  Diego. So wild.
• 25:23
  I do on air reviews. Richmond just dropped your debut
• 25:26
  album. More like cool cool cool.
• 25:28
  DM me all the info if you've got like a band camp or something or
• 25:32
  Spotify link if you prefer. Let me know and I'll check it
• 25:36
  out. We do some on air reviews.
• 25:38
  I usually I do have a thing where we will charge to check
• 25:42
  out your music, but dead Horse Theory, you've been kind of a
• 25:44
  real a regular one. You've popped up in our feeds
• 25:46
  before, so why don't you just DM me and I'll check your stuff out
• 25:49
  and see if I can do something with it if time permits.
• 25:52
  It's time is always the enemy. I never have enough.
• 25:55
  My girlfriend is trying to get me to be a better yes, I
• 25:57
  actually have a girlfriend. I have an amazing girlfriend
• 25:59
  actually. She rules and I need to do
• 26:02
  better at time management. She's trying to work on that
• 26:04
  with me also. Also, if you've been following
• 26:08
  Ghost Cult and you're already subscribed, we did a collab
• 26:11
  podcast with my other podcast, the Glacially musical podcast,
• 26:15
  Beer, Metal and Swearing. This week.
• 26:16
  It was just all Ozzie tributes and all Ozzie love.
• 26:20
  And we canceled the end of our current series, which was
• 26:23
  Beastie Boys. And we are going to start a new
• 26:24
  series on Ozzie solo work, probably through through the
• 26:28
  early 90s at least, and that's coming up soon.
• 26:31
  You know what? Thank you, Dead Horse Theory,
• 26:33
  because again, having a music website like we do is just like
• 26:37
  when I had a band trying to make it, trying to get awareness,
• 26:40
  trying to get people to discover it.
• 26:42
  Now, luckily I became an expert on the music business and
• 26:44
  marketing, and it took me a long time to do that.
• 26:47
  And maybe my next go round I'll get it right.
• 26:50
  But you know, I had a regionally successful band, several of them
• 26:54
  in the 90s and the 2000s. But yeah, Glacial Musical
• 26:58
  podcast, check that out. And then just just hilarity.
• 27:03
  Mark myself safe from being cheated on at a Coldplay
• 27:07
  concert. But this is one of my favorite
• 27:09
  ones. Morrissey, who can fucking choke
• 27:12
  on a band of hot dogs, and Robert Smith, who I love.
• 27:15
  So this is fun. All right, that's all the
• 27:19
  minutiae. Thanks for tolerating that intro
• 27:21
  and all this stuff and being here again, I thank you.
• 27:25
  And yeah, let's do the news rundown and what we always do
• 27:31
  when we start the news is metal festival.
• 27:33
  So let me in begin this one more time and I'll be back when the
• 27:38
  when the gag hits in concert. So we are we announced last week
• 27:41
  we're covering Bloodstock open air again.
• 27:43
  Very excited. 13 years ago is called 13 Bloodstock open airs
• 27:47
  trivia machine head Gojira Saturday and Sunday are already
• 27:50
  sold out. Friday will be sold out, Emperor
• 27:53
  Ministry, Mastodon, Lord of the laws, Fear Factory, plane de
• 27:56
  manufacture, Kublikan, Lacuna Coil, Orange goblin, and one of
• 27:59
  their last UK shows ever, Black Dahlia, Murder, Fair response,
• 28:03
  Creeper, August Burns, Red flotsam and jetsam who I fucking
• 28:06
  love. I was just listening to them
• 28:08
  before the Aussie news hit. Cataclysm, Nail Bomb, Static X,
• 28:12
  Obituary, 3 Inches of Blood, and many more coverage will be
• 28:15
  coming in middle show festivals in mid August.
• 28:19
  We'll probably get the coverage up by the end of the month.
• 28:22
  Also this weekend it's fire in the mountains in a the Grand
• 28:27
  Tetons in Wyoming on a Native American reservation.
• 28:31
  Wardruna's headlining the entire thing and they helped book many
• 28:34
  of the acts old man's child debut show in America.
• 28:37
  Chelsea Wolf, Hex vessel, converge the keening who I've
• 28:43
  interviewed Steve until solo from neurosis into Arma, Lindy
• 28:47
  Hay fella, Emma, Ruth Rundle just in, you know, an incredible
• 28:54
  lineup. You know, I would love to get
• 28:57
  out to this sometime. I do understand that the
• 29:00
  mountain areas are very hot in the summer.
• 29:02
  I'm in San Francisco where it was like 66 today and cloudy,
• 29:05
  which is what I want, even though I like a little sunshine.
• 29:08
  So I know for my grim darkness, I need a little sun.
• 29:13
  So we might have some coverage of Fire in the Mountains coming
• 29:15
  too soon. Shakey Knees best just confirmed
• 29:18
  us for that. Also in September in Atlanta,
• 29:22
  Deftones, My Chemical Romance, Blink 182, Lenny Kravitz,
• 29:26
  Sublime just dropped the new song, Cage the Elephant, The
• 29:29
  Black Keys, Vampire Weekend, Alabama Shakes, Public Enemy and
• 29:33
  many, many more. Pixies idols we just covered in
• 29:37
  grease. Very good stuff here for non
• 29:39
  blondes, no thank you. But OK, Devo, who I do love,
• 29:42
  they should be almost headlining this thing.
• 29:45
  Deftones announced their Dia de Los Deftones festival.
• 29:48
  Deaf Heaven is on there. Always very eclectic.
• 29:51
  I know clips is the #2 band on there.
• 29:53
  I guess they were really excited about clips coming back.
• 29:56
  Thanks so much. Dead horse theory, I'll check
• 29:58
  that out. And Moff Pit madness and Sean
• 30:00
  House is here also. What up, what up, what up?
• 30:02
  Good to see you. Good to see you.
• 30:05
  So dealers. Those Deftones is always in
• 30:07
  early November in San Diego, beautiful San Diego, which means
• 30:13
  a whale's vagina. You know, we continue to get
• 30:17
  this Aussie news and this Back to the Beginning stuff.
• 30:20
  We know 100% now that next year there will be a Back to the
• 30:23
  Beginning concert event where you can go to the movies and
• 30:26
  watch it. I do believe there will be some
• 30:29
  kind of physical release at some point, like a DVD on demand, as
• 30:33
  well as maybe an album. Obviously Black Sabbath owns the
• 30:36
  rights to all the Black Sabbath songs so that would make me
• 30:39
  obvious. You could also turn it in for
• 30:42
  charity, which would be cool if all the bands permitted their
• 30:45
  covers to be used. I'm still shocked that Tool let
• 30:48
  themselves be shown on the live stream.
• 30:50
  That should still mind blowing to me because they've been so
• 30:52
  guarded and protected with their stuff.
• 30:55
  Also also release Fest Athens continues.
• 31:01
  We just ran some more coverage and we have some more to come
• 31:05
  still, so pretty excited about that.
• 31:10
  This just got announced, Fields and Forest Forever Music Fest.
• 31:14
  This is a brewery and it's the Whiskey Treaty Roadshow.
• 31:22
  This just looks cool. I like beer and I like music
• 31:25
  together, whether it's metal or not.
• 31:30
  Also, we mentioned last week Seemafest got announced.
• 31:32
  This is the annual heavy Machinery convention in Vegas
• 31:36
  and they're going to have bands now.
• 31:37
  Last year they had a crossover with Metallica and now they're
• 31:41
  going to have Queens of the Stone Age, Black Crows, and Neon
• 31:43
  Trees perform at this thing. That's kind of cool.
• 31:46
  I don't know that I want to go bad enough to this convention to
• 31:48
  see those bands, but would be cool once again coming up in
• 31:52
  just another week or two. Summer gloom in Somerville, MA.
• 31:58
  Sumac body void, the keening mourn.
• 32:00
  Shepang. Moths are homies and moths.
• 32:03
  Cowardice. Slow quit Voodoo's sister Guts
• 32:06
  who we love and have interviewed recently may never Monolithic
• 32:09
  Dome tears from a grieving heart chain lacing and more and
• 32:16
  finally in just you know the more things you know the more
• 32:21
  you know. Dropkick Murphy's announced
• 32:23
  today that their recent appearance at Punk in the Park
• 32:26
  Denver is their very last. Punk in the Park because the Co
• 32:30
  founder of the fest donated money to Donald Trump's
• 32:33
  presidential campaign and he feels like they're very left
• 32:37
  wing Dropkick Murphys, which everybody knows and that maybe
• 32:40
  their values don't align. The festival did not make a
• 32:43
  donation. The guy who was the CEO of the
• 32:45
  festival did. So, you know, I think the longer
• 32:48
  I live and the older I get, I do realize that a lot of artists
• 32:51
  that I grew up thinking were radical people are not.
• 32:54
  And especially once they got wealth, probably surprise you
• 32:58
  how many of them are conservative or a vote
• 32:59
  conservative. You know, it's it's dicey If no
• 33:03
  one on live, you don't align with my political outlook.
• 33:06
  I can't support you musically. I get that.
• 33:08
  But Dropkick Murphys are like synonymous with punk in the
• 33:12
  park. Michael Isious is back.
• 33:13
  Hey, Michael Isious, thanks for being back and always popping
• 33:16
  into these live streams. I really appreciate you.
• 33:18
  Thank you, friend. All right, that was all the
• 33:21
  festivals concert time. And the big one this fall for us
• 33:25
  is Wardruda leg two of their world tour featuring Chelsea
• 33:29
  Wolf. We are collabing with them.
• 33:32
  There will be a contest for tickets soon.
• 33:35
  Stay tuned. I'm I'm announcing it now, but
• 33:37
  formally it'll be in a few weeks.
• 33:39
  We have another giveaway. We're going to be part of
• 33:41
  tomorrow with the Glacial Musical podcast.
• 33:45
  But yeah, we're during a, you know, we've been very fortunate
• 33:48
  to cover them the entire history of Ghost Cult.
• 33:50
  I've interviewed Aynar just at the beginning of the year for
• 33:53
  their new album Berno, which is out now at by Norris Music and
• 33:56
  Sony. And one of the most incredible
• 33:59
  artist I've ever seen. If you like high lung,
• 34:02
  Assassin's Creed Valhalla was done by Aynar from Wardroona.
• 34:05
  He made the music for the series Vikings.
• 34:08
  Other artists in this genre include a high lung Ivor
• 34:13
  Nitland, who just signed a new record deal.
• 34:15
  So like, I'm a big fan of all this music and I'm not like some
• 34:18
  Nimrod that's appropriating it from my own ideologies.
• 34:22
  I understand what they're trying to accomplish here.
• 34:24
  Why metalheads love this music. It's so visceral and why is it
• 34:28
  important to them so well? Junior tour, big big deal.
• 34:32
  There's going to be a lot of what German news and and stories
• 34:36
  coming soon from us. So I'm super excited as well as
• 34:38
  a review filter has announced they will not be able to join
• 34:42
  Jerry Cantrell for his final leg of his headline tour coming up
• 34:46
  soon. Richard Patrick has a had a
• 34:49
  procedure and a disc replacement surgery which sounds horrible
• 34:54
  and the recovery has been very slow so he can't tour yet.
• 34:58
  So very sad. No announcement yet for a
• 35:00
  replacement, but I'm sure Jerry will hopefully land somebody
• 35:04
  cool. Tom Morello and Friends has been
• 35:07
  announced for a brief run. This is on the back of that
• 35:10
  Black Sabbath festival where Tom was the musical director.
• 35:13
  Electric full band show. So obviously going to be
• 35:17
  anything from Tom's solo music to Rage Against the Machine,
• 35:20
  maybe Bruce Springsteen comers, I don't know.
• 35:22
  Maybe cover songs are rap, maybe profits are rage songs.
• 35:25
  It'd be kind of cool. Chicago, DC, Boston, Brooklyn,
• 35:28
  NY, AC and Nantucket. Matt, Shantucket, Connecticut.
• 35:32
  That's Foxwoods. So not a huge tour, but an
• 35:37
  interesting tour to say the least.
• 35:40
  US Air Guitar National Finals are taking place this week and I
• 35:45
  just had dinner with my homie Georgia Lunch who is competing.
• 35:48
  She won previously. The winner goes to Finland to
• 35:52
  compete in the World Finals. US Air Guitar shown on ESPN, The
• 35:57
  Ocho or whatever it is. ESPN News is taking place in The
• 36:00
  Independent, one of my favorite venues in San Francisco.
• 36:03
  Super cool and intimate and nice.
• 36:05
  I've seen Metallica there randomly I saw Billy Howard L
• 36:08
  there. Randy Bly recently was there
• 36:11
  doing a book signing. Some very cool shit air guitars,
• 36:15
  incredible TuneIn and watch it. They also stream live on twitch
• 36:18
  and TikTok. We've been talking about this
• 36:21
  show on our socials as well as the Wayne Apocalypse.
• 36:24
  This is for our friend Wayne Cornwell Junior, who died
• 36:27
  recently and his band Lies Beneath is doing a charity show.
• 36:30
  All the proceeds from the show will go to his family.
• 36:34
  This is going to take place at the Slipper Room on Wednesday,
• 36:36
  July 30th next week, also featuring I Kill You and Body
• 36:40
  and Blood and Cassandra Marie. So, you know, rest in power to
• 36:44
  Wayne and I hope they raise a lot of money for his family.
• 36:48
  My niece Nails continues to peel it back.
• 36:49
  Tour kicking off in Oakland in another week.
• 36:52
  Very, very highly anticipated. Those set lists were magical and
• 36:57
  we'll bring you more coverage of the tour soon.
• 37:00
  Pantera has been kicking off their tour last week with Amana
• 37:04
  Marth, King Parrot and other bands Snafu, Shock, Narcotic and
• 37:07
  more. They've been pulling out some
• 37:09
  old jams, some deep cuts, not just the hits.
• 37:12
  So I think that's very cool. We'll see what you know.
• 37:15
  Pantera doesn't really have anything else booked until next
• 37:18
  year when they go back out on tour Metallica, so we shall have
• 37:21
  to see what they plan to do next.
• 37:24
  Grill Fest. I just saw this.
• 37:25
  This got announced coming up next month in just about a month
• 37:29
  from now in Salt Lake City. Grill Fest takes place in Salt
• 37:34
  Lake City and features Judicator, Silver Talon, Advent
• 37:39
  Horizon, Celestial Wizard, Seizure, Stone Haven, and a
• 37:44
  bunch of other bands. So this is your power metal,
• 37:47
  sword and sorcery, wizard metal. I think it's pretty cool.
• 37:50
  I love Salt Lake City. If you've never been, you should
• 37:52
  go. Les is here.
• 37:54
  I Heart Army is here. Dirty Radio is here.
• 38:02
  All righty, Deftones tickets are on sale now for the UK and
• 38:06
  Europe. Not a lot of dates, but some big
• 38:09
  ups to Denzel Curry and Drumchurch for getting tapped
• 38:12

  Ghoul has announced a huge tour. Very excited to get Ghoul back.

  I like to go catch that out. Ghoul is amazing man.
• 38:39
  I have many Ghoul vinyls and the Ghoul comic book which I highly
• 38:43
  recommend is incredible. Really reminds me of like a
• 38:47
  golden era foil stamping beautiful cover printed on
• 38:50
  beautiful paper just made with love.
• 38:53
  I love geek stuff as well as metal and rock machine headers

• 39:00
  leg of their tour literally minutes after the news broke
• 39:03
  that Ozzy died. And they they played a couple of
• 39:05
  Ozzy covers and Black Sabbath covers to start the show.
• 39:10
  Different support comes from flesh God, Apocalypse, Fear
• 39:13
  Factory, Neopolis Gara, the Halo effect.
• 39:15
  Excuse me. And El Nino.
• 39:17
  I just realized for the first time the Halo effect and
• 39:19
  Neopolis Garrus have the big O in the middle of their logo,
• 39:22
  kind of like, OK. Hey, Mark Anderson, welcome
• 39:25
  back. But yeah, Machine Head continues
• 39:29
  to support their new album On a Tone, which I thought was pretty
• 39:32
  great. Seven of Us has announced
• 39:34
  Acoustic Live, celebrating the 21st anniversary of Southside
• 39:38
  Double Wide Live Unplugged. They will get direct support
• 39:43
  from Corey Marx. I know Seven of Us has been
• 39:45
  talking about a break, not a break up, but a hiatus, a long
• 39:48
  break from touring. So this might be their way of
• 39:51
  kind of running out the string to the end of the year.
• 39:53
  They always do a big New Year's thing the last few years too.
• 39:59
  Autism Blitz Bria is here. Hello.
• 40:01
  Hello. So yeah, so that Seven Dust
• 40:03
  Unplugged going to be a good time.
• 40:04
  Not really hitting the major big, big cities outside of
• 40:08
  Nashville, Detroit, Boston, ish. No New York, several in
• 40:14
  Wisconsin and Iowa. Interesting.
• 40:15
  Saint Louis outside of Chicago, Houston, San Antonio, down to
• 40:21
  San Antonio once again. The Nocturnal Affairs kicked off
• 40:26
  their new European Tour, supporting both Wednesday 13 and
• 40:31
  occasionally Drowning Pool. We have an interview coming up
• 40:34
  with them soon. We'll try to get that out as
• 40:37
  soon as possible. Tsunami and Scowl 2 of your neo
• 40:42
  punk hardcore crossover bands have announced a huge Co
• 40:46
  headline tour with a bunch of killer opening bands.
• 40:50
  So very very cool. It's starting off in Mesa, AZ at
• 40:54
  the Nile. We've covered a lot of shows at
• 40:55
  the Nile on 10/16 and running all the way through mid
• 41:01
  November. So basically a 3030 days or so I
• 41:05
  can finally take this off. Why am I wearing this mask
• 41:07
  tonight? Because Gorgatron Gorgatron
• 41:11
  Gorgatron is kick has kicked off the Northern Destruction tour
• 41:19
  with our friends in casket robbery.
• 41:20
  Hey, Corey Westbrook is passed by.
• 41:22
  What up Corey? I hope you're doing well.
• 41:24
  So I am rocking this Gorgatron mask.
• 41:27
  Now that we've had the Gorgatron news in the show, I can take
• 41:31
  this off. Thank fuck, because I'm dying up
• 41:32
  here. Hold on one second.
• 41:37
  Oh fuck that feels great. A woman takes off her bra and a
• 41:44
  fat guy takes off his belt when he comes home.
• 41:46
  That mask had the same feeling for me.
• 41:49
  That's when I take my belt off at the end of a long painful
• 41:53
  day. I'll pick out my breath, brush
• 41:56
  out my beautiful beard. And we talked about our
• 41:59
  affiliate partner Fable Beard company in just a second.
• 42:02
  Maybe you are beard. I was like me and you want to
• 42:04
  invest in some beard products or a beard product for your
• 42:07
  favorite person. Fair response.
• 42:10
  It's got a huge European Tour coming up soon.
• 42:13
  Super excited about this. Blood Incantation continues to
• 42:17
  tour. We'll have a review of Blood
• 42:18
  Incantation on the site on Monday from Saint Louis.
• 42:22
  Incredible Braille, who was one of my favorite bands of the last
• 42:27
  10 years, just signed a new record deal and they are on tour
• 42:31
  in Europe right now. Canada Capitations U.S. tour has
• 42:36
  been announced. Tickets gold sailed today.
• 42:38
  Get them What a sick, absolutely just fucked up sick.
• 42:44
  Like almost like a little mini traveling death metal festival,
• 42:48
  like kind of summer slaughter vibes, Cattle Decapitation,
• 42:52
  Aborted fro Frozen Soul and a few others.
• 42:57
  Like that's fucking killer. So Killer Tower has announced a
• 43:02
  headline tour that'll be coming in the fall. 3 Inches of Blood
• 43:06
  is on tour right now in Europe. They're playing a lot of metal
• 43:08
  festivals. I have still yet to see them
• 43:11
  since they return. I missed The One Show they did
• 43:13
  here in San Francisco. Sad face.
• 43:16
  Kefi Wednesday 13 is back on tour all over Europe.
• 43:21
  We had an interview earlier in the year with Wednesday 3rd and
• 43:23
  where we talked about his favorite GI Joes because this
• 43:25
  whole room that he does interviews, his office is
• 43:28
  covered with GI Joe stuff and some monster stuff.
• 43:31
  He's great. Warfield's got some new tour
• 43:34
  dates coming up. This is really exciting.
• 43:36
  Narcotic Wasteland. We're huge fans, so it's Dallas.
• 43:40
  Taller Waiter used to be a Niall hole and for the first time ever
• 43:44
  he's always played like an occasional Niall song live.
• 43:47
  He's done a lot of teaching and lessons online and doing a lot
• 43:51
  of Rift breakdowns and videos, play through videos, and this is
• 43:54
  the first time ever he's actually going to do songs from
• 43:58
  the Nile record he was on live with his band.
• 44:03
  So this is the Annihilation of the Wasteland tour for the
• 44:07
  nationally Annihilation of the Wicked.
• 44:10
  I love Niall. Niall is one of my top three
• 44:12
  favorite death metal bands of all time.
• 44:15
  And honestly, I think Annihilation of the Wicked was
• 44:19
  their peak. It was the best lineup they had.
• 44:22
  Obviously. Look, bands have a hard time
• 44:23
  staying together. Dallas is sober now, which I
• 44:27
  appreciate. I think Carl is too, actually.
• 44:30
  And you know, I'm sure, you know, generally speaking, I'm
• 44:32
  sure it's, you know, amicable now, but probably wasn't back
• 44:35
  then. Skull Basher 666 is here.
• 44:39
  Fit Factory continues to tour across all of Europe, coming to
• 44:43
  the US soon with Cavallera. And now we know that that tour
• 44:47
  has a bunch of banging open prom and so many more.
• 44:54
  I'm so excited about that tour now and again.
• 44:56
  We just continue to promote this.
• 44:59
  Bronx Historical Society has the Uptown Rumble.
• 45:01
  Anybody that's a fan of bands from New York, hardcore, metal
• 45:05
  and classic rock go to this exhibition.
• 45:08
  We are eventually going to get up there and do some coverage.
• 45:10
  I would like to do some interviews with the guys.
• 45:12
  I think I will shoot an e-mail to my homie Geo, who is one of
• 45:16
  the curators. This is a big deal.
• 45:19
  This is a legitimate exhibition of famous people from my
• 45:22
  hometown, the Bronx, NY. Once again, repping it hard.
• 45:30
  So, yeah. What else?
• 45:32
  What else? What else?
• 45:33
  Cool. You mentioned them already so
• 45:37
  much. I love ghouls so much, I put
• 45:38
  them in the deck twice. Jayden is here.
• 45:41
  Pep is here. What up?
• 45:42
  What up? I just a reminder one more time.
• 45:45
  If you feel like tipping us. Cool.
• 45:46
  I appreciate it. I'm not going to hassle you for
• 45:49
  money. It's tough everywhere.
• 45:51
  Let's talk about some of our affiliate partners, Fable Beard
• 45:54
  Company. You see this?
• 45:55
  I had that mask on for the whole show, but look how great this
• 45:58
  beard is. That's his thanks to Fable
• 45:59
  Beard. My girlfriend turned me on to
• 46:00
  this as a present to me and now I'm addicted to this stuff.
• 46:03
  And now we have an affiliate deal with them.
• 46:05
  If you use our link in the description or in our link tree,
• 46:08
  you 2 can get 10% off your first order for them.
• 46:12
  And we get credits that we can use for more beard products,
• 46:15
  which rules. And I can't rave enough about
• 46:17
  this all nationally made stuff all their sense and their
• 46:22
  characters are based on like Dungeons and Dragons.
• 46:25
  So it's like the gin, the Bard, the wizard, the hunter, the
• 46:30
  barbarian. Like it's so cool.
• 46:32
  They have a new cent every month.
• 46:34
  They give a $500 box giveaway randomly to people.
• 46:38
  There's nothing to do to enter. You're just entered for being
• 46:41
  making a purchase. They're very aggressive with
• 46:45
  their marketing, which you know, you have to be ready for that.
• 46:48
  But let's see. So in addition to these
• 46:50
  deodorants that keep me smelling fresh, they're all natural.
• 46:53
  I have a lot of problems with sensitive skin and regular
• 46:55
  deodorants fuck me up. And for years I've been using
• 46:58
  like a plain old speed stick by men in which doesn't smell great
• 47:02
  but it like didn't irritate my underarms.
• 47:05
  This stuff is all natural and is smells great and doesn't hurt or
• 47:11
  you know, it's not like caked on and ruining all my black shirts.
• 47:14
  I also have the beard washes. This is a different scent.
• 47:17
  This is the marksman. Kind of looks like Arrow from
• 47:20
  the DC verse here. But this stuff's great.
• 47:23
  Wash it in your beard, let it set while you wash the rest of
• 47:25
  your body. Rinse it out.
• 47:27
  Great. And then somewhere here, I don't
• 47:31
  have it with me. It's in my messenger band.
• 47:33
  That's kind of like a little spritz.
• 47:34
  I don't really wear Cologne. The beard scent of the book.
• 47:39
  Yeah, man. Yeah.
• 47:40
  I'm going to do some video content or maybe clip this into
• 47:44
  a little remix so you guys can check it out, but the link will
• 47:48
  be in our description and again we'll check our recent videos
• 47:51
  that will have it. But again, I cannot.
• 47:53
  We don't even when we get paid, I tell everybody like the rare
• 47:57
  times that we get paid for stuff, if I don't love
• 47:59
  something, we don't wrap it. So we were wrapping high B and
• 48:03
  BI would definitely stay in one. We wrapped this.
• 48:05
  I use this stuff, you know, so that's kind of the deal and they
• 48:10
  come in unless it's in a box. It comes in this cool red
• 48:13
  packaging and there's like a I, I broke it open last week.
• 48:16
  They send like a little may a little message in a, in a wax
• 48:20
  seal envelope like Game of Thrones.
• 48:21
  It's fucking wild. So I'm really pleased to be an
• 48:24
  affiliate partner of this thing. You know, I also want to mention
• 48:28
  that coming soon to the show, we'll have a better experience
• 48:31
  as we continue to improve this. My homie and partner at Ghost
• 48:35
  called Omar sent me the Stream Deck Neo that I'm going to start
• 48:38
  using immediately next week. I started programming it, but
• 48:42
  it's not quite ready for prime time, but I do have a photo of
• 48:45
  it later in the show just to show it off with my setup here.
• 48:49
  And yeah, I'm really excited about all the possibilities this
• 48:52
  is going to open up for us to do an even more and better
• 48:54
  professional show. Also, just in case you didn't
• 48:58
  know, when you see ads at ghostcultman.com, that's from
• 49:00
  our partnership with Lamb Goat Media, the meaner version of
• 49:03
  Ghost cult ads at the Lamb Goat Media Network and the Lamb Go
• 49:08
  Media Network. Brands include Metal Insider,
• 49:10
  obviously, Lamb Go Ghost Cult, New Metal Agenda, This Day in
• 49:14
  Metal, and now Anthony Fantano of the Needle Drop, who has been
• 49:17
  taking a beating online for his low tubes and you know, mad at
• 49:22
  YouTube and copyright strikes. It's not allowing him to review
• 49:26
  music anymore. So he's freaking the fuck out
• 49:28
  and rightfully so. All these companies should work
• 49:33
  together and not against each other.
• 49:35
  You know what I'm saying? These fuckers.
• 49:37
  And also, except for you guys on TikTok, everybody else has seen
• 49:42
  this via Stream Yard. I have my little deck in the
• 49:44
  corner. I got the ghost cult name at the
• 49:46
  bottom. I can fly in my ticker in case
• 49:48
  people are not familiar with Ghost Cult man videos, intros,
• 49:52
  outros, sound effects, new stuff that's going to come when I
• 49:55
  connect it with this device. I'm super excited about Stream
• 49:58
  Yard. And if you sign up with the link
• 50:01
  in our description, you get $10 off your subscription when we
• 50:04
  get $10 off our next bill. So it's some Dutch door action,
• 50:07
  which I like a lot. I like a lot of Dutch door
• 50:10
  action and just a reminder we're on twitch, we're on all the
• 50:14
  sofos. I don't know if you are people
• 50:16
  seem to be very sick of social media.
• 50:17
  We're on it right now as we do this video across social media,
• 50:20
  but people tell me they don't see our stuff anymore.
• 50:24
  So if you want to get a more personal experience, you can
• 50:26
  sign up for our newsletter, follow us on discord where every
• 50:29
  post goes go to our website and just get your news tell me in a
• 50:33
  comment how you get your news. Is it blabbermouth?
• 50:36
  Is it friend sharing other websites?
• 50:38
  I know we're not the biggest website out there.
• 50:39
  We're OK big, top 25 big, but we're not the biggest or
• 50:45
  corporate sponsored. So we're getting there.
• 50:48
  But you know, it's a long process, OK?
• 50:51
  And we're on Blue Sky and we're on all the things.
• 50:53
  Fuck you mom and dad for throwing away my fucking Slayer
• 50:57
  CDs. And yes, I have a lot of
• 50:59
  childhood trauma. All right, it's time for the
• 51:03
  rest of the news, and we're going to blast through this
• 51:05
  pretty quickly. We're going to do all the news
• 51:07
  and rumors, the major stories of the week.
• 51:09
  Feel free to chime in and comment or ask questions.
• 51:12
  Then I'm going to do a little new Music Friday stuff that's
• 51:16
  coming out this weekend, as well as something from my mailbag,
• 51:20
  and then I'm going to take it home.
• 51:22
  So let's do this, Brutus. Obviously, again, the biggest
• 51:26
  story of the week is Ozzie. Man, I'm just never going to be
• 51:28
  the same. I knew I was not going to be
• 51:30
  ready. I've been saying this for a long
• 51:32
  time. I don't want to live in a world
• 51:33
  that doesn't have a Ozzie Dio hurt.
• 51:35
  Let me really hurt me the most before now.
• 51:39
  Dimebag was really terrible because I saw a damage plan the
• 51:42
  week before Dimebag was murdered.
• 51:44
  And I had a chance to like literally get right next to him.
• 51:48
  And he was crowded by people. And I, I bailed and I talked to
• 51:51
  Vinny instead. And I was like, I'll see Dime
• 51:52
  next time. And it wasn't next time.
• 51:54
  So I'm very sad about this Aussie stuff.
• 51:57
  Some people have been horrible. He's burning in hell.
• 52:00
  It's like, you know, timing, timing, bro, timing.
• 52:04
  Somebody just died. You want to pick on them for
• 52:06
  their many faults and flaws. When I interviewed Ozzy, that
• 52:09
  was the number one thing he talked about.
• 52:11
  Like, I can't apologize enough for anything I did that ever
• 52:15
  offended or hurt my fans, but I just hope they'll trust me and
• 52:18
  love me in the future and I love them back.
• 52:20
  So obviously a ton of tributes. Every single band, his own band,
• 52:26
  everybody did tributes to, to Ozzie.
• 52:30
  Kermit the Frog put out a tweet and an Instagram post about
• 52:33
  Ozzie. You know, just the impact that
• 52:37
  he had not just for music, but also pop culture.
• 52:41
  I I often push back against this idea that rock and metal people
• 52:45
  were unstable. We're crazy.
• 52:47
  You don't know what's going to happen, which is true.
• 52:49
  Ozzie helped perpetuate that idea.
• 52:51
  And I don't love that idea because it kind of downplays
• 52:53
  mental health. And Ozzie obviously had a lot of
• 52:55
  mental health problems too, that he was very open about.
• 52:58
  But you know, I think it's important to, you know,
• 53:01
  appreciate the man. If you want to look at the dark
• 53:04
  side of stuff, you can. I know there's an Aussie book
• 53:07
  coming out later in the year. I know there's an Aussie
• 53:10
  documentary, you know, docu bio in the works, like Bohemian
• 53:16
  Rhapsody, you know, good for him, good for them.
• 53:20
  I'm sorry, you know, whatever you think about Sharon and I
• 53:22
  have been a vocal critic of Sharon, but I'm deeply sorry for
• 53:25
  whatever she's feeling tonight. She clearly loved the guy and
• 53:28
  kept him going the last like 30 years where he could have been
• 53:31
  dead at any time. Honestly, my favorite tribute
• 53:34
  has been the one Metallica shared today.
• 53:35
  They put a post up on their website, the band wrote a
• 53:38
  message and then there was a longer diary that was supposed
• 53:41
  to come out of back to the beginning of Day by Day diary by
• 53:45
  Stefan Shah Razi. I don't know if you're familiar
• 53:47
  with him. In the 80s, he used to write for
• 53:49
  all the, you know, European metal magazines like Kerrang.
• 53:53
  And then Metallica liked him so much from hanging out with him
• 53:57
  and getting interviewed by him that he was their favorite
• 53:59
  journalist. They kind of baked him into
• 54:01
  Metallica ink. So he produced the So what fan
• 54:05
  magazine for many years. He's the Co host of their
• 54:07
  podcast, the Metallica Report. And he wrote this incredible
• 54:11
  diary about every single day of the back to the beginning
• 54:15
  experience from Metallica's point of view.
• 54:17
  And then he found out Ozzy died and had to add an addendum to
• 54:21
  it. So Metallica's tribute, of
• 54:24
  course, like everything else, first class all the way.
• 54:28
  Moving along from the ongoing Ozzy stuff that I'm sure will
• 54:32
  continue to come out. Slipknot made, you know, even
• 54:36
  when Slipknot tries to do something good for their fans,
• 54:39
  they have a toxic fan base. Let's talk about this for a
• 54:42
  second. We've been talking about toxic
• 54:44
  fan bases, Ghost, Metallica, you know, Sleep Token, and now
• 54:50
  Slipknot. Slipknot is next to Metallica or
• 54:53
  a few other bands that one of the biggest bands in the world.
• 54:55
  There's very few other bands that can command a crowd like
• 54:58
  they can. And so they've been touring for
• 55:01
  the last year, celebrating their debut album from 1999.
• 55:06
  Hey, David Apple, what's up? And they have been teasing for a
• 55:11
  long time. Clown has been teasing for a
• 55:13
  long, long time. That, you know, there's this
• 55:17
  anniversary, there's all this material, there's all these
• 55:20
  unreleased demos, there's all these visuals.
• 55:22
  I recorded and documented everything.
• 55:23
  He's now listed as the curator of Slipknot, which makes sense.
• 55:26
  He is the keeper of Slipknot's history, right?
• 55:30
  And there's new photos that have never been seen before with the
• 55:33
  original lineup, or at least the not original lineup, but the 99
• 55:36
  lineup, let's call it. Even though Chris Fenn joined at
• 55:39
  the very end right before the record was basically done and
• 55:44
  Jim didn't really contribute much to that first record.
• 55:46
  Honestly, it was mostly all Mick and Clown and Joey.
• 55:50
  But anyway, they put out this deluxe edition.
• 55:55
  They TS TS TS on social media. They announced we have 100 box
• 56:01
  sets at 249 a pop, which is about the going rate for a big
• 56:05
  box set like a Metallica would do for their albums.
• 56:08
  And I don't need a $300 load box set.
• 56:12
  But they they sold out immediately.
• 56:14
  Then they announced another 18199 for 1999.
• 56:17
  Clever. Now there's a smaller
• 56:19
  wide-ranging version of it that you can now get after Doom is
• 56:22
  here, Yvonne is here. So Slipknot, they felt like, oh,
• 56:27
  we put out like tease it out 100 and then 2000 total.
• 56:31
  That's a gift to our fans. They didn't put out a press
• 56:33
  release. They just released it.
• 56:35
  They just sent a message to fans.
• 56:37
  Whoever signed up for not Fest, whoever's got a text message
• 56:40
  from them, who's got an e-mail, they only sent it to them and
• 56:43
  the music media, Me, Lamb Goat, Metal Injection Metal sucks.
• 56:46
  We all had to be like, oh, we're metal insider, where's the
• 56:48
  story? Where's the story?
• 56:50
  So we did that and I found that, you know, social media posts and
• 56:53
  then I figured it out how to make a story.
• 56:56
  Then they updated it again. We're going to let out 2000 of
• 56:58
  these boxes. Now today there was the official
• 57:00
  press release that was like, we are putting out a wide-ranging
• 57:04
  array of sets that you can get and it's going to all be on
• 57:07
  streaming and there's demos. But the fans were fucking pissed
• 57:10
  at first. Like how the fuck did they put
• 57:12
  out 100? Why are there no new tracks on
• 57:14
  this thing? What the fuck?
• 57:17
  You can't please everybody. So Slipknot, at least they're
• 57:20
  creating conversations in chatter.
• 57:23
  Mr. Tuna is here. But yeah, I don't know.
• 57:28
  I don't know, fans. You got to check yourself
• 57:30
  sometimes. They don't owe you anything.
• 57:33
  They make music you love that doesn't entitle you to shit.
• 57:37
  Ever, ever, ever Led Zeppelin. Did you know that in this time
• 57:44
  when we've had so much Black Sabbath news, Led Zeppelin has
• 57:46
  had a banner year with the release of Becoming Led Zeppelin
• 57:50
  and the obviously expected soundtrack to Becoming Led
• 57:53
  Zeppelin coming on vinyl? Well, now, now there is a new
• 57:58
  Led Zeppelin EP coming out and I think I have it saved on my
• 58:04
  phone. I'm sorry Tik Tokers, it's going
• 58:06
  to take a second and I don't have it.
• 58:09
  OK, fuck me, I'm back. Led Zeppelin is putting out an
• 58:17
  EP. It was announced tonight or
• 58:21
  tomorrow. And so Led Zeppelin celebrates
• 58:26
  the 50th anniversary of Physical Graffiti with a live EP.
• 58:31
  I think there's also a these are live tracks that were only on
• 58:35
  the Physical Graffiti 50th anniversary set.
• 58:39
  And so 4 live songs from the for the first time ever on vinyl, CD
• 58:45
  or digital. And then there's a live VP with
• 58:49
  the four songs and the 50th anniversary of Physical Graffiti
• 58:52
  with yet another remaster of the remaster.
• 58:56
  So here are the four new songs, new live recordings.
• 58:59
  They're not new In My Time of Dying classic Trampled Under
• 59:03
  Foot from Earls Court 75 alongside Sick Again and
• 59:07
  Cashmere from the infamous Net Worth 79.
• 59:09
  The last concert ever I think by Zeppelin, which on Bottom
• 59:14
  originally. Originally released on the 2003
• 59:17
  Led Zeppelin DVD and appear on CD Violin Digital for the first
• 59:24
  time with This thing. Released on February 24th, 1975
• 59:27
  in the US and four days later in the UK.
• 59:29
  Physical Graffiti immediately was platinum and now 17 times
• 59:33
  platinum since its release. So you know, Physical Graffiti
• 59:36
  might be the best Zeppelin record.
• 59:38
  Cashmere 10 years gone. Wonton song.
• 59:40
  Custard Pie. Trampled under foot.
• 59:41
  In my time of dying. Jesus Christ.
• 59:45
  Incredible. What a fucking album.
• 59:47
  What a fucking band. Probably buying this.
• 59:51
  It comes out right before my birthday.
• 59:52
  Hey, Hooray for me. Might have to be a purchase.
• 59:55
  I didn't think I'd be buying a new Pink Floyd live album in
• 59:58
  2025, but I did, and I didn't think there'd be a new Led
• 1:00:01
  Zeppelin like anything. So Ghost played on Fallon on The
• 1:00:06
  Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. They played Lacrimo, which he
• 1:00:08
  mispronounced, but it was really cool to see them do that.
• 1:00:10
  Ghost is sold out. Madison Square Garden.
• 1:00:13
  Where in my hometown New York City, the most famous arena in
• 1:00:16
  the world? Ghost is legitimately a huge
• 1:00:20
  band now, whether you like them or not.
• 1:00:24
  I like them also. Also things that won't blow your
• 1:00:30
  mind. There's war, there's famine,
• 1:00:32
  there's disease, there's like natural disasters, shit that is
• 1:00:36
  literally trying to kill the human race every day that we
• 1:00:39
  live on this planet. And Russia.
• 1:00:43
  Vladimir Putin has now made it illegal to search for Pussy Riot
• 1:00:48
  information on the web in Russia.
• 1:00:51
  I don't even know how you would enforce this.
• 1:00:54
  I think often about fascist governments and fascism and
• 1:00:58
  things that I don't want any part of.
• 1:01:00
  And this is fucking stupid. You know, it's like it, you
• 1:01:04
  know, it'd be like banning Circle Jerks or Black Flag or
• 1:01:09
  Rage Against the Machine. Just absolutely or Green Day.
• 1:01:11
  Absolutely fucking stupid. Pussy Riot is awesome.
• 1:01:15
  Maybe we'll get to interview them someday.
• 1:01:17
  I've tried Spinal Tap from the big screen everywhere.
• 1:01:23
  Spinal Tap 2. I got to see Spinal Tap 2 the
• 1:01:25
  trailer recently in a in a screaming in the sort of a when
• 1:01:29
  a Spinal Tap the original came back in the movie theaters over
• 1:01:32
  July 4th weekend. I went and saw the trailer and
• 1:01:34
  now it's got the wide release, but that's also getting released
• 1:01:38
  in September, early September and Spinal Tap to the end
• 1:01:43
  continues, which is incredible. And then from the big screen to
• 1:01:47
  the small screen, I can't show you the thing, but Beavis and
• 1:01:51
  Butthead announced their season 3 season this this week today.
• 1:01:57
  And Metallica is prominently featured animated versions of
• 1:02:00
  them in the in the show. Like they're playing it's
• 1:02:03
  playing music, Metallica music. This is just a cool shirt I used
• 1:02:07
  to have of butt head is Cliff Burton and, you know, clearly
• 1:02:13
  Beavis as Lars. Hey, Lars.
• 1:02:19
  Anyway, so yeah, I think we all have a little butt head in this.
• 1:02:24
  Maybe not everybody's a Beavis, but certainly we all have a
• 1:02:27
  little butt head inside of all of us.
• 1:02:28
  So. So Beavis and butt head hugely
• 1:02:30
  important to metal heads and metals.
• 1:02:32
  So very cool to have them back. I know they can't really do the
• 1:02:34
  show like they used to. Turnstile, who is having quite
• 1:02:38
  here had recently dropped their feature documentary at the
• 1:02:44
  Tribeca Film Festival and that is going to on demand and
• 1:02:47
  streaming on Monday, so they're very excited by that.
• 1:02:50
  This is from the Turnstile concert at Release Fest happens
• 1:02:53
  that we talked about recently shot by our friend Annie
• 1:02:55
  Atlasman. Great job.
• 1:02:58
  Also also, Slash has teamed up again with Universal for
• 1:03:03
  Universal Halloween Horror Nights to do the music of
• 1:03:07
  Halloween Horror Nights and set up Slash.
• 1:03:09
  Slash curated, you know, attraction scares and events as
• 1:03:16
  well as a Slash themed bar, which is interesting since he's
• 1:03:19
  sober now. But yeah, that picture, isn't
• 1:03:24
  that picture awesome? Mike that I'm going to go back
• 1:03:27
  to this one more time. Sorry you're on TikTok.
• 1:03:29
  I don't see this there. This dude gets so much fucking
• 1:03:31
  air. I wonder if he skateboards
• 1:03:33
  because he's like Chino. He's jumping around like out of
• 1:03:36
  his own soul. But anyway, Slash continuing his
• 1:03:40
  branding. GNR continues to be on their
• 1:03:42
  world tour. Still no dates for America or
• 1:03:46
  Latin America yet. This is Slow Crush, a a
• 1:03:50
  relatively newer band that we've been covering.
• 1:03:53
  They dropped a new single. They have a new album coming out
• 1:03:56
  soon. Kind of a post hardcore drony
• 1:03:58
  band. I like them.
• 1:04:01
  Talked earlier about my interview with Gus Rios of Death
• 1:04:05
  and Left to Die and Gruesome and now Colt Slither.
• 1:04:07
  So Colt Slither is hitting San Diego Comic Con this weekend.
• 1:04:10
  They're playing a debut show at Brick by Brick.
• 1:04:13
  They're doing a signing at at the Autograph center of Comic
• 1:04:17
  Con at the Convention Center. And again, as bad as this week
• 1:04:21
  has been beating the shit out of my childhood with deaths, I'm so
• 1:04:25
  stoked for this band. And you really need.
• 1:04:27
  It's so fun and it's heavy as fuck.
• 1:04:30
  There's a little bit of glam metal and hair metal in it, but
• 1:04:33
  it was mostly thrash and death metal so I don't really know
• 1:04:37
  what to compare it to except maybe Spirit World as AG as a
• 1:04:42
  Cobra band as as Zartan and the dreadlocks.
• 1:04:44
  I'm so excited. Beast is the Danish death metal
• 1:04:49
  band. They have a new album coming out
• 1:04:51
  soon, Colossal, and they dropped a brand new single and video
• 1:04:54
  today called Stormbringer. I have an interview coming soon
• 1:04:58
  to the channel with the band, so I'm pretty excited about that
• 1:05:05
  spend of beast from Denmark, Denmark, great metal scene, just
• 1:05:10
  King Diamond and Lars Alrich. We talked a lot around the back
• 1:05:14
  to the beginning concert about why Trivium wasn't there, if
• 1:05:17
  Gojira and Lamagot and Hailstorm were all there.
• 1:05:19
  But Matt had surgery on his knee.
• 1:05:23
  He blew out his knee and he has shared on social media details
• 1:05:29
  of this so you can check his Instagram post and it's pretty
• 1:05:35
  gnarly but I hope he gets a quick recovery.
• 1:05:37
  I know Trivium has supposed to go work on their new Apple.
• 1:05:43
  This one surprised me. Man, this, this really took the
• 1:05:48
  wit like the stuffing out of me. I don't know if you guys know
• 1:05:53
  the band Wind Rose. They're best known for the song
• 1:05:55
  Diggy Hole. I'm kind of in my phase where
• 1:06:01
  pirate metal and troll metal and all these other things I'm kind
• 1:06:05
  of over. But I know that Win Rose has
• 1:06:08
  like a huge fucking following. And so they they launched kind
• 1:06:16
  of like a side band. And I wanted to bring you the
• 1:06:20
  the full details. Give me one second here.
• 1:06:22
  Here we go. Vice business only VBO signs
• 1:06:25
  when raining Phoenix. So again, raining Phoenix called
• 1:06:29
  Slither like a lot of stuff happening in rainy Phoenix.
• 1:06:31
  New insight album coming up from Richie Cavallera soon.
• 1:06:34
  I got an interview with him coming to the channel.
• 1:06:36
  So Win Rose vocalist Francesco Capillari has teamed up with
• 1:06:39
  electronic artist Simon Gusti Giusti.
• 1:06:42
  I don't know if I said that correctly for their new project.
• 1:06:43
  VBO Vice business only new music coming soon and it's very like
• 1:06:49
  Vice City Vice in the name. It looks like you know Miami
• 1:06:53
  Vice like the artwork kind of cool.
• 1:06:56
  Here's Castrator. They got a new single out new
• 1:06:58
  album coming soon. One of the best death metal
• 1:07:00
  bands going. I'm a huge fan don't know if you
• 1:07:03
  are I am fucking tight band. I'm very into it.
• 1:07:08
  I don't know if you're fans of Paramore.
• 1:07:10
  I thought their comeback album was kind of crap, but just
• 1:07:14
  randomly Hayley Williams, who's been everywhere lately, just
• 1:07:16
  showed up at a radio station in Nashville to play some new solo
• 1:07:20
  stuff. So I assume there will be a new
• 1:07:25
  Hayley Williams solo album or release at some point.
• 1:07:28
  Kind of cool. Just weird that she just rolled
• 1:07:30
  in with CDRI. Didn't know people still have CD
• 1:07:32
  Rs Grandmother, which you definitely know from the old
• 1:07:38
  Trevor Sternod stuff from Metal and Metal Injection.
• 1:07:41
  He helped make this band famous. This is the kind of a
• 1:07:44
  grandmother fronting A grindcore band.
• 1:07:47
  They've been on a hiatus for seven years.
• 1:07:51
  Grandmother had been diagnosed with dementia and they are going
• 1:07:55
  to play two final shows in Canada at the end of this year,
• 1:07:59
  joining Canada Decapitation, Aborted, Frozen, Solar, Tribal
• 1:08:01
  Gaze. We talked about that tour
• 1:08:03
  earlier, one in Montreal and one in Toronto.
• 1:08:07
  Not only Jackson. I'll break the news, you know,
• 1:08:11
  best of luck. Dementia's a son of a bitch.
• 1:08:14
  If I ever lose my hearing or my mind, I'm ready to go.
• 1:08:18
  So Dusty wearing. I don't know if you're still
• 1:08:20
  here Dillinger, but you asked about Dusty.
• 1:08:23
  So we have been. You know, we got got a lot of
• 1:08:27
  new Between the Barry To Me new album news and a new song and no
• 1:08:32
  mention of Dusty out a photo of not Dusty in the band.
• 1:08:36
  And legally I think he was not allowed to say anything about
• 1:08:40
  it. So let's talk thank shout out to
• 1:08:42
  our friends at Lamb Goat for always tackling the tough stuff.
• 1:08:45
  They don't care. Dusty Waring has addressed his
• 1:08:49
  status with Between The Buried of Me following his firing in
• 1:08:52
  2024. This split came after a legally
• 1:08:54
  disputed rape allegation, which Waring denied.
• 1:08:59
  Though he briefly rejoined the band in 2023, things fell apart
• 1:09:02
  again in the spring of 2024. The band confirmed lawyers were
• 1:09:06
  involved and cited that his termination was due to due to
• 1:09:12
  failure to render first class live performances, failure to
• 1:09:15
  timely notify the band of his inability to perform at all of
• 1:09:17
  their performances, and overall demeanor and negative behavior
• 1:09:20
  with his fellow bandmates, their family members, and the band's
• 1:09:23
  crew. So Dusty then takes the social
• 1:09:25
  media today to make a post. Time for an update.
• 1:09:29
  I've been off the road for a while, which hasn't been easy
• 1:09:31
  since music has been in my life as long as I can remember.
• 1:09:33
  While I haven't spoken publicly about my absences until now, I
• 1:09:36
  feel like it's time to address the questions about my
• 1:09:40
  involvement. After 20 years of albums, tours
• 1:09:42
  and great memories, BT Bam and I have officially parted ways.
• 1:09:45
  The delay in saying something wasn't about avoidance, time and
• 1:09:49
  privacy where necessary. And I truly appreciate your
• 1:09:51
  patience, understanding. I want to thank the guys and BT
• 1:09:53
  Bam and all their fans and our crew and many companies and
• 1:09:56
  collaborators made the last two decades of an experience beyond
• 1:09:59
  anything I could have imagined as a kid.
• 1:10:01
  Growing up with all of you on stage and off has been one of
• 1:10:04
  the greatest gifts of my life. Thank you to everyone who's
• 1:10:05
  checked in or sent kind words. Support has meant a lot, made a
• 1:10:08
  real difference. I've been quietly working on
• 1:10:10
  lots of new music and I'm excited to share more with you
• 1:10:14
  soon. Looking forward to seeing you
• 1:10:16
  all soon. So I mean, that was pretty
• 1:10:17
  positive. And, you know, I think it's
• 1:10:22
  timing's weird that he, you know, he needed to say something
• 1:10:26
  because people were asking him and probably people were asking
• 1:10:29
  the band and they can't say anything, obviously.
• 1:10:31
  So I don't know. How do you feel?
• 1:10:34
  You know, it's the same thing with Manson.
• 1:10:35
  People outraged. There's still accusations about
• 1:10:37
  Manson. He has not been guilty of
• 1:10:39
  anything. He was not charged with any
• 1:10:41
  crimes. There was an investigation into
• 1:10:43
  him. I agree that he has probably
• 1:10:45
  done some terrible things privately.
• 1:10:51
  It's it's it's a pickle. It's really a pickle.
• 1:10:57
  All right. I love this meme so much.
• 1:11:04
  I kept it in the show another week.
• 1:11:05
  I made Twitter. I made Facebook.
• 1:11:07
  I made Apple. That's cute.
• 1:11:08
  I made Jimi Hendrix. I love this so much.
• 1:11:11
  I love everything about it. All right, new music Friday.
• 1:11:13
  We're almost at the end of the show.
• 1:11:15
  Big, big records this week coming out.
• 1:11:17
  Let us talk about some of them. Let's talk about the last week
• 1:11:21
  of July. There's been an impact summer of
• 1:11:24
  releases, I think ever since the pandemic.
• 1:11:27
  There's still a lot of releases that are still coming out all
• 1:11:29
  the time. Thank you for liking the live
• 1:11:32
  Isma. Thank you.

• 1:11:38
  Appreciate you pal. Appreciate everybody for passing
• 1:11:43
  by. So I'm going to do it like so
• 1:11:46
  I'm going to read the band title, the band name, the album

  So that's all the new music Friday.
• 1:16:21
  And now we do the last segment of the show and I'm going to put
• 1:16:24
  myself back on screen and it's time for the mailbag.
• 1:16:28
  I'm here. Yo, I already talked about my
• 1:16:31
  love of Hey, Gigi fan is here. What's up?
• 1:16:34
  RIP Ozzie. Indeed, we talked a lot about
• 1:16:36
  Ozzie earlier in the show. Gigi fan, if you want to tune in
• 1:16:39
  to our podcast tomorrow or to our newsletter or to YouTube and
• 1:16:44
  rewatch the show, we talked a lot about Ozzie at the top.
• 1:16:47
  I am not OK. I am very broken by this whole
• 1:16:50
  thing. But last week at this time of
• 1:16:52
  the show, we had a malfunction. Private pile, what is your major
• 1:16:56
  malfunction? No, it's been hitting you later.
• 1:16:58
  I hear you, bro. So interestingly enough, I
• 1:17:02
  listened to a podcast about Gigi Allen this week with last
• 1:17:05
  weekend with my girlfriend. It was super.
• 1:17:07
  It was interesting. I've never been a fan, honestly.
• 1:17:09
  It's like I I understand why the attraction, but like a lot.
• 1:17:15
  But anyway, yeah, there's my screamed at Necco device that
• 1:17:19
  you will all see soon. And now once again, because my
• 1:17:23
  gear shit the bed. Oh, nice.
• 1:17:25
  Yeah, we've covered Merle. We've covered Merle and the
• 1:17:27
  murder junkies bro. So my gitch the bed at the end
• 1:17:31
  of the show last week. So if I don't fuck it up, I'll
• 1:17:35
  actually do the mail bag I was supposed to do last week.
• 1:17:37
  Now, first of all, shout out and eternal thanks to our friends
• 1:17:42
  John at Waterfront comics. John is a St. he's a huge metal
• 1:17:46
  head and a great dude and he gifted me I went to his shop and
• 1:17:52
  he gifted me with these ghost comics, which is now the series
• 1:17:55
  has concluded. So sister and Parador, these are
• 1:17:58
  beautifully done, written by Tobias Forge with some world
• 1:18:01
  renowned artists and anchors. Issue 4.
• 1:18:06
  I love this cover the most with she's pregnant with the gun and
• 1:18:11
  there's two little like ghostlings running up there.
• 1:18:13
  She's going to shoot them both in the fucking head.
• 1:18:16
  I don't like children. And then issue 4.
• 1:18:19
  So these are now issue 1 and 2 are now rare and three and four
• 1:18:23
  are pretty plentiful. You can get like one and two on
• 1:18:26
  eBay I think for about 30 to 40 bucks.
• 1:18:29
  And then I had to get this Archie's meets Silent Jay and
• 1:18:33
  Bob. This is issue 1.
• 1:18:35
  There's like 7 or 8 variant covers, so I had to pick this
• 1:18:38
  up. This looks beautiful and
• 1:18:40
  obviously written by Kevin Smith and I'm just stoked to have it.
• 1:18:44
  And then I've been talking a lot on the show.
• 1:18:48
  And again, shout out to John from Waterfront Comments.
• 1:18:50
  He also joined in on our he joined in on our one of our
• 1:18:55
  Aussie tribute shows. We're all pretty broken up.
• 1:18:59
  Yeah, man, that's cool. Morale is apparently very
• 1:19:01
  approachable and nice. So I hope you have a great time,
• 1:19:03
  dude. Tell us how it goes.
• 1:19:04
  So I've been talking about this magazine.
• 1:19:06
  I don't know how hoity toity you guys all are, but Blood of Gods
• 1:19:10
  is a wine magazine from metal heads with metal artwork from
• 1:19:15
  the best metal artists in the world, mostly from Decibel and
• 1:19:17
  other places, as well as actual interviews with metal bands.
• 1:19:25
  This issue features Imperial Triumphant as well as the head
• 1:19:30
  of Z2 comic Books, which is incredible.
• 1:19:32
  They have an annual merry making in July that just passed, so
• 1:19:35
  maybe next year I'll go. I wouldn't mind going.
• 1:19:39
  And so we've been talking a lot about this magazine.
• 1:19:41
  It's actually at the organic shop at the corner of my block
• 1:19:44
  of San Francisco, going to San Francisco.
• 1:19:45
  I love that place. And now they've come out with a
• 1:19:48
  compendium of their first bunch of books.
• 1:19:51
  So I've been trying to get some book reviews in.
• 1:19:56
  I'm going to do a bigger deep dive on this guy and maybe like
• 1:19:59
  a walkthrough. But this is the beautiful bound
• 1:20:02
  version of their first bunch of the first five vintages.
• 1:20:05
  Great name, Blood of gods, metal mayhem and wine.
• 1:20:08
  This is beautifully done. There's interviews with Maynard
• 1:20:10
  James Keenan and Les Claypool of Primus and so much more.
• 1:20:14
  And and this is just. And I think Juan Graven from
• 1:20:18
  Satiricon, who also sold his wine brand for something like
• 1:20:22
  $50 million, by the way. So wine is serious stuff.
• 1:20:26
  Oh, Believer's your favorite Aussie song.
• 1:20:28
  That's awesome, man. I, I asked everybody to, you
• 1:20:30
  know, in these various tribute shows to drop a comment with
• 1:20:34
  your favorite Aussie moment or song, whether it's Sabbath or
• 1:20:36
  Solo. Believer's incredible.
• 1:20:39
  Stidu is here and Belle Crane is here.
• 1:20:43
  Gigi fan, you've been a very loyal watcher of our channel and
• 1:20:46
  I appreciate you for quite a long time.
• 1:20:49
  And I just want to say thank you and I'm sorry.
• 1:20:51
  We're all suffering, we're all hurting.
• 1:20:52
  Nobody was, I wasn't ready. Nobody was ready.
• 1:20:55
  And this sucks. I don't know what else to do
• 1:20:59
  except listen to Ozzy and take care of myself and be there for
• 1:21:04
  others. So that is our show at a very
• 1:21:07
  lengthy hour and 21 minutes, 1:29 PM.
• 1:21:12
  Oh, sorry. 1:29 AM Sorry. Yeah.
• 1:21:16
  Middle of the night here in late night TV here in San Francisco.
• 1:21:20
  Sorry about that. I'm going to miss Ozzy forever.
• 1:21:23
  But yeah, I got you, man. I got you.
• 1:21:27
  Titanium Trinket is here. Everybody that watched, I really
• 1:21:30
  appreciate you. Quite a bunch of, you know,
• 1:21:31
  viewers on the TikTok and the Instagram even for this late
• 1:21:35
  hour. I appreciate you all again, if
• 1:21:40
  you follow us, we'll give you a follow back if you got some kind
• 1:21:42
  of legitimate channel or profile and you know it means more than
• 1:21:48
  ever. I say this every week at the end
• 1:21:50
  of the show and I it hits hardest at the hardest times,
• 1:21:54
  Man, it's a tough time in the world.
• 1:21:56
  So take care of yourselves, take care of each other and stay as
• 1:22:00
  metal as humanly possible. I'm going to dance a jig on the
• 1:22:03
  way out because we laughed through the pain and we cracked
• 1:22:06
  through the tears and we we scream to the sky.
• 1:22:11
  Rest in power, Ozzy. Have a great weekend.
• 1:22:13
  Be safe, don't drink and drive. And I'm Keithia ghost code mag.
• 1:22:16
  Check us out. Peace.
