Volbeat · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

0:33
It's D program, the podcast where we try to get you into a
0:37
band. That's right.
0:38
We've done all the work for you. All you have to do is press play
0:40
and listen and you could my name is Justin and you could call me
0:45
band curious. I like to talk about bands with
0:47
my friends and we try to come together and create a top ten
0:52
circuit list for you to be able to get into the artist as well.
0:56
Today you could say it's another day.
0:58
You could say it's another way you could say that we're talking
1:02
about Volbeat because indeed that's what we're doing.
1:05
I'm going to preface this with a finally a finally we're doing
1:10
Volbeat more in. I'm sure this will come up
1:13
several times during the course of the conversation, but
1:17
finally, it's probably about three years in the making.
1:21
Joe, I think you put them on the board with the initial panel.
1:26
So talk to me about Volbeat and why you wanted to talk about
1:29
Volbeat on the show. Well, it definitely has been at
1:33
least three years. I definitely put them on the
1:35
board. Obviously just one of those days
1:38
where I'm looking through the list.
1:40
Hey, what bands do I want to jump in on?
1:42
Oh wow, how is this band not on the list?
1:46
And Volbeat, I wouldn't necessarily say like Volbeat
1:49
isn't my favorite band of all time, but excuse me.
1:53
I found them around 2013 era era of my life.
1:59
And at that point they were one of my favorite bands.
2:02
My roommates at the time and I were both going going through
2:06
some shit during the time and that's above Beyond hell, above
2:11
heaven record. We played the absolute crap out
2:13
of that. So in that in that era, like
2:17
they they were probably one of my top five favorite bands.
2:20
Again, not that they're not one of my favorite bands now.
2:23
I don't really know how to say. Like, I still listen to them,
2:27
but I just think that they're they're a, they're a hell of a
2:31
rock'n'roll band that also does, they do metal pretty well if you
2:37
actually dive into them and listen to more than just the
2:41
radio. They do, they do Rockwell, they
2:45
do, I don't even really know how to describe, but they're a band
2:48
that if you if you enjoy music, if you enjoy kind of different
2:53
forms of the same kind of genre, you would like this band.
2:57
And so that's, hey, my one of my best buddies has a show to talk
3:01
about music. So why shouldn't we talk about
3:03
Volbeat, you know? That's true.
3:07
About two years into our Volbeat sabbatical, Brian messaged me,
3:12
Hey man, if you need somebody to jump in on Volbeat, you know,
3:16
I'll, I'll be happy to do it. And then I was like, ah, no, I
3:18
think we're finally going to get it.
3:19
And here we are almost two years after that.
3:22
Brian, talk to me about Volbeat and what made you say yes, I'd,
3:27
I would like to jump in on this. So.
3:30
Volbeat I really only knew like two or three songs, but I love
3:36
doing like Discoveries and the deep dives.
3:39
So like I knew two or three songs and I was like, Oh yeah,
3:43
you know, it's a metal band. Like I like, you know, I like
3:45
most metal bands. So then I'll jump in on it, you
3:51
know, and then doing the deep dive, I've learned that they
3:54
were way more than a metal band. I'm really, really happy that I
3:59
that I dug into this because I was definitely like missing out
4:03
on a lot by only having like those two or three songs on like
4:07
a random playlist that might come up like two or three times
4:11
a year. I'm, I'm sure we will dive into
4:17
the endless list of genres that that basically every genre of
4:26
rock music you could imagine. They they, they, they, they use
4:32
all the way from from 50s until today.
4:37
It was interesting and I'm I'm, I'm pumped to talk about it now.
4:42
I also want to point out Joe, Joe, you pointed this out in the
4:45
chat. They did just release a record
4:47
by the time this comes out, it'll it'll be out for a little
4:51
while, but all right so I, I need to dig into this because.
4:57
But even before, before I'll, I'll interrupt you there like
5:00
it's it's a good album. I've listened to it a handful of
5:02
times, probably three times since it's come out.
5:06
There's nothing that really necessarily needed to be
5:09
included on our list to talk about.
5:12
And again, I'm sure, oh, I know that I'm going to say it's about
5:17
this band. So like, there was nothing on
5:18
that new record that really needed to be included in this
5:21
conversation because dot dot dot, you're just going to have
5:24
to wait for the rest of the episode.
5:25
That's the cliffhanger. You listen to the whole episode
5:28
of why? Why I think that?
5:29
Yeah, and I have a feeling we're going to probably come out in
5:33
the same way because the unfortunate thing here is that
5:38
this band is forever going to have a negative connotation to
5:41
me. And if through nothing to do
5:45
with them. And I hate that these songs have
5:49
been swimming around in my head again, probably at least three
5:52
years at this point. So like, it's it's no fault of
5:57
their own that there is like a a slight twinge of negativity.
6:02
But when, when Joe put this on the board and we kind of threw
6:05
it together and and we started doing the, the dive for, you
6:10
know, I start listening to music, I'm like, OK, I'd never
6:13
heard of these guys before. I'm like, OK, cool.
6:15
Like this is this is interesting.
6:17
There's all these levels of, you know, the, the, you know, the
6:20
the very first thing, you know, you feel with listening to
6:24
Volbeat is very influenced by Metallica.
6:26
And I don't think they're ashamed or, or, or I don't think
6:29
they shy away from that. I feel like that's something
6:32
they they would probably readily admit.
6:36
That's like the the closest to apples to apples you can get.
6:40
I think they get into storytelling a little bit more,
6:43
which is neat. And there's some punk elements,
6:46
metal elements, like all sorts of great stuff happening here.
6:50
And it just, it stinks that it took so long that somewhere in
6:56
my brain I'm always going to have.
6:59
And I'll say this though, like when we put this version of the
7:02
panel together like a week ago and I went back to listen to the
7:06
songs, I was like, OK, no, like they're better than I even
7:10
remember, which is good. Like the the problem is there's
7:16
a lot of songs that kind of sound the same and not in a bad
7:21
way at all. Like if you're good at what you
7:23
do, you're good at what you do, do the thing that you're good
7:25
at. And they're very good at doing
7:28
the thing that they're good at. So we, we, I think initially we
7:33
had kind of taken everything, Joe.
7:35
And then like when we realized, well, we're not getting this
7:38
thing done, Should we shorten up the list?
7:41
You and I kind of came together and made like a, a much
7:43
abbreviated list that came down to like 60.
7:45
So I guess first walk me through like, you know, what do you,
7:49
what do you think it was about, you know, why we felt like we
7:54
needed to compact the list And then talk to me about, you know,
7:57
what you're looking for when you're putting your 20 together
8:00
for this one. Yeah, well, so again, you know,
8:04
no hates on Volbeat because there have been bands since the
8:08
beginning of of music that when you find what you're good at,
8:12
like you said, you just keep doing that, here's the template
8:15
and keep doing it. And they found that.
8:18
They found their template and they do that and that's fine.
8:21
And they are quit as while I haven't listened to radio in
8:25
well over a decade, but going through the disc, the
8:28
discography and anytime you know a new album came out, you know,
8:31
whatever, it's like, OK, I know what what these songs are for
8:34
the radio. Like they're a radio band.
8:36
True and true. They're they're a radio band
8:38
just like Metallica, just like ACDC, Guns and Roses, insert
8:43
whatever. Again, they have a template and
8:45
they do it and they do it well. So more power to you.
8:47
Sell records, make money. I'm here for it.
8:51
But so with the list wise, you know, with that in mind, like
8:55
here's here's the template of Volbeat.
8:57
So do we really need to go through whatever it was?
9:00
I think it was almost 100 songs, wasn't it?
9:03
It complete completely some of that like we don't need to do we
9:08
don't need to have all of these. Let's let's bring it down to
9:11
what is kind of what what do you get similar songs from other
9:16
albums? So I think we probably only took
9:19
two. I think we took the first two
9:21
full albums when everything else was kind of whittled down a bit,
9:24
if I remember right. Anyway, that was kind of the
9:27
point of that is let's try to take again.
9:30
I guess it was a little bit biased in my part, but I tried
9:33
to be unbiased and like, all right, what can we take from
9:36
each record here? Cuz I whatever it ended up being
9:39
four or five, six records, something like that.
9:42
And then do the best that we can here with, with having a little
9:44
bit of variety. And then, hey, what's what's the
9:47
the pile that's sounds, you know, essentially the same.
9:52
So your second question coming up with my list pretty simple,
9:56
honestly, again, while I haven't listened to radio in well over a
10:00
decade, I probably I do think a majority.
10:05
I wouldn't say majority. I definitely have what I imagine
10:08
are the radio songs on the list, because again, they do those
10:11
really well. They do it really well.
10:14
But I definitely it wasn't hard in the sense of what I wanted to
10:19
take. Besides that, I did want to try
10:21
to find their different, different sounds throughout that
10:25
we had. I think I did pretty well with
10:27
that. I guess it'll be see, you know,
10:30
really be guys come up with. But I didn't really I didn't
10:34
really try to play any game. There wasn't really any gameplay
10:37
in this. It was more of I think this is
10:40
going to be good for a list because Volbeat is more than a
10:43
radio band, while they do radio really, really well, but I want
10:48
to take these to bring to the table because if somebody new is
10:52
coming in, they would, I think they would appreciate hearing
10:56
how the wide variety that Volbeat brings.
11:00
So I imagine Joe and I whittling it down to like 60 or whatever
11:04
it it, it ended up being Brian, like kind of sigh of relief
11:09
there. But like as you're kind of
11:11
starting to go through it, what's, what's your process like
11:14
going again, this being, you know, pretty brand new for you?
11:19
Yeah, I mean, well, I, I pulled out like the two songs that I
11:24
knew immediately. I put those right on my list.
11:27
One of them I actually use on like a get pumped kind of
11:30
playlist. So I'm I'm hoping that everyone
11:34
else has it. But I I did.
11:36
I did want to mix the sounds. Definitely the ones that stood
11:40
out that like I didn't know if they were singles again, like,
11:44
you know, Joe, I don't listen to the radio.
11:46
I have a long time, but there were ones that sounded like
11:50
singles to me. I'm like, oh, this must been a
11:52
single. This must have been a single.
11:54
We also don't have a any station that plays heavy metal in
12:00
Hartford anymore. They went to Christian music and
12:04
we don't have a small state. We don't have Yeah, yeah, I'm
12:08
in, I'm in Hartford. They got rid of the heavy metal
12:11
station up in Boston. The, the, the one here, WCCC
12:16
that was legendary because it was the home of Howard Stern.
12:19
That one's gone. That's all Christian music now.
12:22
So like, I wouldn't even know like a heavy metal single at
12:28
all. But I, I pulled out the ones
12:30
that were, that were sounded like singles.
12:33
I wanted to get the ones with that very unique spin on 50s
12:39
music. Like I thought, I thought it was
12:43
awesome. Like I just, I just try to take
12:45
a little bit, little bit of everything.
12:48
I'm mainly a little bit heavier on the heavier stuff because I
12:51
am like a metal person. But we'll see how it goes.
12:55
Yeah, it, you know, again, when I push play on my playlist, I, I
13:01
thought that I was going to be like, oh, because, you know,
13:06
again, nothing to do with the band, everything to do with the
13:09
just the circumstances. But I was pleasantly surprised.
13:13
So like listening to, if I can recall what my, my process was
13:19
like. I mean, I think my very initial
13:22
process was just whatever jumped out at me and I was trying to
13:26
not overthink it because like, because the way the original
13:31
panel was going to be like, I didn't want it to be an
13:34
overthought, too much gamesmanship.
13:36
And I, I honestly, truthfully, I'm glad I did it that way
13:39
because I don't think this is that kind of band.
13:42
I, I, I just don't think there is any kind of gamesmanship
13:45
here. It really is going to work out
13:48
to well, These are the ones that stuck out.
13:50
And I, I think again, I, I come to this a lot.
13:55
I, I think they're agreeable. I think, I think there's, you
13:59
know, going to be songs where I'm going to go, hey, this and
14:02
then you guys might not have it or there's going to be a 2 that,
14:05
you know, Joe and I have, and Brian's going to be like, I
14:08
mean, that was close anyway. I, I feel like we're going to
14:10
get a lot of that. I, I, I don't know, man, like I,
14:17
I, I'm not sure. I, I, I think I ultimately came
14:23
out in the same boat as you guys.
14:24
I think I, I think I leaned towards what I thought was radio
14:29
songs, even though I didn't mean to.
14:31
Like when I re listened to my list, I was like, OK, this is a
14:35
good list. So I I think we might all be on
14:39
the same wavelength. Now whether the wavelength means
14:43
same songs, that could be a different thing.
14:47
Based on everything we've said so far.
14:48
Joe, how many do you think we're going to get through
14:52
unanimously? I do think what you just said,
14:57
we might end up being on different ends of Oh yeah, I
15:00
like that song. And you know, obviously there's
15:02
like 37 other songs that kind of sound similar.
15:05
But I'm going to go, I'm going to, I'm going to go the positive
15:07
route. I think that we're probably
15:09
going to, I feel like we're all going to nail the radio songs,
15:12
which are probably radio song. Again, I do know there's a
15:15
couple that are radio. But anyway, I think we're
15:18
probably going to hit on all those.
15:19
I'm going to go optimistic and say 8, but I do think, yeah, I
15:23
think at the end of the day, this is going to be a really
15:26
easy one to do though, because like you said, actually I don't
15:29
remember exactly what you said, but essentially in the in the
15:33
idea that there's not really a wrong answer when it comes to
15:36
Volbeat. I think if we end up with a mix
15:39
of what they do, I feel like anybody that knows Volbeat or in
15:46
this case getting into them will be happy with it.
15:50
What do you think Brian Joe's taking the big swing?
15:53
Yeah, I like that. I was thinking something wrong
15:58
there too. Like, like, you know, when I was
16:00
doing my list, I had I had three songs and only one spot and I
16:04
was fighting, fighting, you know, it was hard.
16:10
But I think we're going to land enough.
16:12
I'm, I'm going to say sticks. I'm going to be cautiously
16:15
optimistic with six. OK, all right, I think I'm going
16:19
to do the easy thing. Then I'm going to split the
16:20
difference and go with 7. I feel like, I feel like there's
16:26
answers that I can I can take If one of my songs doesn't get in,
16:31
I can I can actually play the game here.
16:34
So all right, we're going to take a quick pause and on the
16:36
other side, we are going to play the game.
16:37
Jack. It's the program.
16:44
And with that, the name of the game is deprogrammed.
16:46
The three of us have come through a selection of Volbeat's
16:49
discography and plucked out 20 songs they were now going to
16:51
mash together in an attempt to create a top 10 starter kit for
16:54
you, in case you have never given Volbeat the time of day.
17:01
When I was re listening, this song jumped out at me a lot.
17:04
I don't know if it's a radio song.
17:08
It gave me radio song vibes, but it kind of gave me, you know,
17:14
the idea of story, like the way they title their records and the
17:18
way like the whole packaging and the song titles and stuff gives
17:22
me an image. And this is this is one that
17:25
really did it for me. When I was re listening to my
17:28
list, it really jumped out at me.
17:29
So I'm going to play different than I normally would.
17:32
How about the hangman's body count?
17:35
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, all right.
17:37
And Oh yeah, that makes me feel good.
17:39
OK, I wasn't taking too much of A leap.
17:43
Hold on. Let me.
17:44
Find it? No, not at all.
17:44
No, this is not at all. One of the three songs I knew.
17:48
Oh, OK, well, there you go. I clearly didn't so.
17:56
Yeah, it's a, it's a yeah. It's a good song in the sense of
17:59
right off the bat you get different versions of the band
18:03
in in one song. They, I forget exactly how it
18:07
starts, but essentially it's like comes in hot, comes down a
18:09
little bit, changes the tempo a little bit.
18:13
That's their template, and they do it well, yeah.
18:17
So that one jumped out at me on the here, let me get a little
18:21
volume here and hangman's body count.
18:24
Boom. Just like that.
18:25
All right, I feel good about it. Joe, where do you wanna go?
18:30
I'm just going to go from my, I'm going to go 20 all the way
18:34
down. That's how I'm doing this one
18:35
today. I'm not going to think about it
18:36
too much. This is, I believe it's the
18:38
title track from not the latest record, but the record before
18:42
that. It shows the difference of what
18:45
Volbeat is Temple of Ecore. Yeah, I got it.
18:49
I got it. Nice.
18:50
There it is. Nice.
18:53
It's it's the it's the classic Justin of you hit play and like,
18:57
if they tell you who they are, who they're going to be this
19:00
record. Yep, yeah, I didn't expect that
19:04
one to be through, but I I think that kind of tells you what you
19:10
need to know about this band is like, they just, they do what
19:13
they do and we all kind of agreed that this is what they do
19:17
so. And I mean, just a just a quick
19:21
note that that's graph the the arch for that album Servant of
19:27
the mind released in 2021. It gave me very Salvador Dali
19:31
vibes with even like removing, removing his face, right.
19:36
And I I love that crap. I absolutely adore like their
19:41
album covers. I think they're all new like
19:44
they all have. They always have.
19:46
Yeah, they always have something a little extra to them.
19:49
Honestly, the only one that doesn't is the strength, the
19:54
sound, because that's just the microphone.
19:55
But all the rest of them have something neat.
19:58
So. All right, Temple of Ecore,
20:02
however you say it, I get to say that a bunch of times today.
20:06
That'll be great. But it's in.
20:09
All right, Brian. Wow.
20:12
All right, well, no pressure here, huh?
20:16
I don't know exactly where I want to find everybody, so I'm
20:18
just going to do the thing. Caroline leaving.
20:21
Yeah, man, I got it. I do, Yep.
20:25
OK. The thing worked.
20:27
Yeah, well, it's cool. Because.
20:33
It's cool. It's cool because you with this
20:35
band, the you don't need the thing.
20:37
It's nice when the thing happens and it exists and you need, you
20:41
know, but they they do the thing throughout.
20:45
So like you can get the thing anywhere.
20:47
But yeah, I kept it because it does the thing.
20:51
So yeah. It gets you right into that
20:54
bounciness like, like immediately, you know, like it,
20:57
like it, like you said, like, you know, they had a formula.
20:59
Like, there were so many songs that were just like, like, but
21:05
it was there's a lot, yeah, there's a lot of that bounciness
21:09
in their in their rhythm guitar, like, but it's fine.
21:13
This is perfect. Yeah, there we go.
21:17
Boom. 3 for three. I, you know, again, no pressure
21:22
on me, but I hate this. Stay on, outlaw gentlemen,
21:29
because I did outlaw gentlemen last time.
21:32
This one jumped out at me. Lola Montez.
21:36
Oh, absolutely. Oh, I don't have that one, but
21:39
I'm. OK.
21:43
All right. That's a surprise too to me, but
21:46
OK, we'll take a two there. I said I had.
21:49
I had a tough time with these cuts.
21:53
All right, at the time when that came out, at the time when that
21:56
came out, I called one of the barbells at the gym, Lola Lola
21:59
Montes. Not my gym.
22:02
This was before I had my gym. Just a fun fact.
22:05
Fun fact. Well, we get a two there, Joe.
22:07
It gets to hang around where you want to go.
22:11
I'm just gonna stay on that record.
22:13
This one. Pretty sure this one was a radio
22:15
radio song just from the sound of it.
22:17
Dead but rising. Yeah, man, I got it.
22:22
I don't. Oh my God.
22:24
Oh. No, that's OK.
22:26
That's OK. We had three for three right
22:28
away. I'm trying to win, so it's OK.
22:30
We can't get, we can't get all of them.
22:31
We'll get you another again. I'm not.
22:34
I'm not. I'm not heartbroken about it.
22:36
Again, I'm I like Volbeat. I don't like, I'm not.
22:40
If this was like a blank show, then I might be upset and
22:43
triggered by it, but I don't really care.
22:45
It's, it's gonna be a good shit. It's gonna be good no matter
22:47
what. I did, but rising gets a 2
22:51
Brian. I got plenty more from that.
22:55
I have other from that album. All right, I'm gonna jump to a
23:01
different jump to a different sound about Cloud 9.
23:07
Yes, I got it. Absolutely.
23:10
Hey, there we go. How we're back all.
23:14
Right, I love and absolutely. I love and absolutely.
23:18
Yeah, all right. Now I'm back in the good graces.
23:21
No. You were.
23:24
You never left, man. Yeah, that was the Cloud 9 was
23:26
one that I just put on. I put on without really thinking
23:29
about it. Like I said, when I was doing my
23:31
list, I just, you know, to get to get some different sounds.
23:34
I had to re listen again after however many years it's been,
23:38
but cloud 9 was one that I put on there right away.
23:41
That's that's quintessential Volbeat.
23:45
Well, that's good, but I was able to find quintessential
23:47
Volbeat without knowing it was, so that makes me feel good.
23:51
All right, boom, Cloud 9 is in. Let me.
23:58
All right, where do I want to go?
24:01
Cloud 9123? I was listening to this one.
24:10
OK, this one feels like it could possibly be a stretch.
24:14
We'll find out. How about always dot woo?
24:18
Yeah. Oh, I don't have that one all.
24:22
Right, OK, always woo gets a 2. Very like classic punk, sounding
24:28
very like Ramones, kind of. I like that a lot.
24:32
Wait. A second.
24:35
Did I forget to mark that off? I did.
24:44
But how did you get? We're gonna mark that that on?
24:50
Is it too? All right, Joe.
24:56
Well, because, well, no, I'd be breaking my rules.
25:00
Just can't just continue. It's still going.
25:03
It's still going in line. I was gonna jump, but I'm not
25:04
gonna jump. I'm not gonna do it.
25:07
I'm gonna take Danny and Lucy. 11:00 PM.
25:10
Oh, fuck, no, I don't. Oh, that's OK.
25:15
That's OK. That was that's one first
25:17
record. Different sound than any of the
25:20
other stuff that we hear with Vobeats.
25:22
That's that's the one where yeah, that was just one one of
25:26
those, hey, this is different. Let's bring it to the table but.
25:30
I actually almost tried to find room for that right before we
25:33
went on. It kind of jumped out at me in
25:38
in my final lesson, but I just again, you never want to do the
25:42
work right there at the the very last second.
25:44
So no. All right.
25:47
No, it's fine. We we talked, we talked about
25:49
it. That's all that matters.
25:50
Yeah, Brian all. Right, so this was I'm going to
25:55
play another song that I knew. This is on my Get Pumped
25:57
playlist. It comes up since I rediscovered
26:00
it this week during Listen. I listened to it three times
26:03
like every day this whole week. Hopefully everyone has it.
26:07
A Warriors call. Oh yeah.
26:11
Oh yeah. I don't.
26:14
I can't. Let's get rid.
26:16
Of that I almost use. I almost use this as a as
26:20
entrance music at one point towards the end of my run there,
26:25
but then Justin Zach told me he was like, Brandon Day already
26:29
uses that and I'm like, all right, never.
26:31
Mind b-day. Well, it's a 2.
26:35
I don't have it, but you know, at least there's a story to it.
26:41
Just like that, we're eking towards getting out of NTP as
26:45
well. Definitely a pump up song
26:47
though. Like that's yeah, 100%.
26:49
They have a lot of they need a pump up.
26:51
Yeah, play a warrior school. I also feel like this is good
26:54
gym music like all. Oh yeah, 100%.
26:59
You just hit shuffle on go to whatever you're listening
27:03
platform and hit shuffle. I mean, when we're done with
27:05
this list, by the time you hear this, play the list first, but
27:09
then just go to Volbeat page and hit shuffle and you're good.
27:11
Yeah, I'm going to take what feels like it might be a risk
27:18
because I'm going to go with another song that kind of jumped
27:22
out at me on my re listen, getting ready for this.
27:26
How about who they are? Yeah.
27:31
I don't have that one, but that is that's a really good pick.
27:34
That is a really good pick. I'll take a two there.
27:37
I'll take A2. All right, Joe.
27:43
I'm going to play this one after I forget who actually played if
27:48
it was you, Justin or or Brian, but the more punk kind of sound.
27:52
I was going to jump up my list, but I like I said, I'm playing
27:55
my list only down to 1. Anyway, this is the song I was
27:58
going to jump up to. It's also kind of has that punk
28:01
ish vibe. It's very fast, it's loud, it's
28:04
a little which he does well. It's a $16.
28:09
No. No, I don't have it.
28:12
Oh. Well, if you if you need, that's
28:15
OK. If you need something fast, it's
28:17
$16. It just is really fast and then
28:22
you get a little bit of a little scream in there too or the more
28:25
of a guttural and they do that so well.
28:30
Boom. All right, Brian.
28:34
All right. This is very very niche pick but
28:37
I'm going with it. But I I kept bringing up 50s and
28:41
this sounds like a song right out of 50's The Awakening of
28:44
Bonnie Parker. No.
28:48
No, I don't have that one, but you are correct.
28:50
He has said in interviews. What did he say?
28:54
But essentially the they're inspired by Johnny Cash also.
28:57
Yeah. Yeah.
28:58
Like like the spoken word part with the I don't know what that
29:01
instrument is in the background, but like.
29:06
Yeah, that's very Johnny Cash. Yeah.
29:10
All right, let me go down this list.
29:25
How about Leviathan? Absolutely.
29:30
OK, I don't that's one of those. Brian, OK, now I'm upset.
29:35
I'm just kidding. Yeah, I'm just.
29:38
I'm just kidding, buddy. I'm not going to be upset at
29:40
all. I was drawn to it immediately
29:42
because I'm a fan of Mastodon and they, they, they haven't,
29:47
they, they have an album. The vibe.
29:49
Then I was like, oh wow. But yeah.
29:52
Well, we'll take a two there and worst case scenario we are out
29:56
of NTP. Everything that has twos is in,
29:58
but I feel like looking at my list, there's at least a couple
30:02
more twos around here. So, Joe.
30:08
Staying on the same album I just played, Beyond Hell, Above
30:12
Heaven, Magic Zone. No.
30:17
No, I don't have magic zone. OK.
30:19
All right. Moving on.
30:20
I got nothing. It's fine.
30:22
It's fine. Whatever, Brian.
30:27
How about the devil's bleeding crown?
30:33
That was a late cut for me. I got it.
30:35
I got it. That's a good pick.
30:36
I. Got it.
30:37
We got a two there. I had to look at my list again.
30:42
All right, yeah, conversations are going to happen because
30:46
we've got we've got twos that are going to have to get booted
30:49
at this point. All right, I've been sitting on
30:53
this one, so I guess it's time to find out.
30:59
Hey, how about Doc Holiday? Yeah.
31:05
I don't have that one. OK, that's a good pick though.
31:09
Doc Holiday gets a 2 boom and Joe.
31:16
I'm gonna move. I forget what the album's
31:19
called, but I'm gonna move albums here.
31:21
And you got me tied down like Battleship Chains.
31:26
That's the name of the song. Battleship Battleship Chains.
31:28
I do not have no. No.
31:31
Wow, you guys, the love song. You didn't grab that one.
31:35
Oh my gosh. Oops.
31:38
OK, that's OK. You guys are not romantic at
31:42
all. No, very clearly not.
31:45
Or Volbeat didn't make me feel romantic at least.
31:49
Yeah, I guess they didn't. They didn't warm me up enough.
31:51
And wine and dine, Yeah. Nope.
31:53
No, no, no consent Volbeat, get out of here.
31:57
All right, Brian. Maybe.
32:02
Maybe this one's a love song. I don't know.
32:05
For evict, or I don't know how to say it.
32:08
For evict. For evict, Yeah.
32:12
Yeah. For evit.
32:14
Yeah, the the Danish version, not the English version.
32:18
Yeah, I don't think I have that, I would think.
32:24
You might, you might have the English version, Justin, because
32:27
there's the same song on that same album called.
32:29
It's just the English translation.
32:31
Oh, maybe hold on. Why is it not coming?
32:37
It would it would be called the Bliss.
32:39
Oh no, I don't. OK.
32:42
Where the hell is this? I feel like I saw it when I was
32:48
doing. There it is, there it is.
32:51
I found it. So it's a 2.
32:52
OK, Jesus Christ, that shouldn't have taken so long.
32:58
All right, a two. I'm very good at what I do.
33:02
I'm very good at this. All right, we're back around to
33:06
me. I feel like we can do do a
33:09
couple more rounds here and then dump out.
33:13
I'll stay on seal the deal and go with the title track.
33:15
Seal the deal. That's boogie.
33:20
But I don't. I can't boogie with you all.
33:23
Right, boom in the bin. I'm hearing you took took all
33:26
the way to this late in the game for me to fall in the bin, but
33:29
I'm there. All right, Joe.
33:34
Next to my list, same album there, Black Rose.
33:38
Yeah. OK, we'll take that too.
33:40
I don't have it all. Right.
33:42
OK. All right, I'm pretty sure that
33:47
one is a radio. Pretty sure that one's a radio.
33:51
It's like I for some reason with that record, I didn't.
33:54
I didn't find the radio jams. Maybe, I mean, who knows, maybe
33:58
there was. I don't.
33:59
Know several? Yeah, I don't know.
34:01
I don't know. I don't know how many are
34:02
actually on there, but I'm pretty sure that one was 1.
34:06
All right, Brian. Can't have an album about and
34:14
not Law without Black Bark. I got it.
34:19
Dang, I don't have it. I was like, I liked the ideas of
34:25
of these stories. I don't know that I necessarily
34:27
caught the stories, but they just by the way they titled it
34:31
and the way they do their album covers and stuff, I was able to
34:35
place myself in in these places. So, yeah.
34:40
All right. Yeah, they do.
34:41
Really. Really.
34:43
Good, 12345, that's gone 6-7. Yeah, I think we'll do this.
34:52
This will be our last full round.
34:55
Yeah, I got 6 left. Yeah, I got. 6 All right, this
34:58
one's a scorcher and I feel like this could go either way.
35:04
I could end up in the bin just because it does sound a lot like
35:09
their other stuff, but it was catchy and I couldn't, I
35:13
couldn't move away from it. How about wait a minute, my
35:15
girl? Absolutely.
35:17
Hey, no. No, I don't have it.
35:20
OK. I'll take the two there.
35:22
Wait. A minute, my girl.
35:25
The harmonica solo in this song is top tier.
35:29
Yeah. Or whatever music.
35:31
I think it's a harmonica. Just a fun It's a fun jam.
35:38
Oh yeah, absolutely. Right.
35:40
Oh, this, this conversation, I don't think any of us are going
35:44
to win. But like, this conversation is
35:46
getting brutal. Yeah.
35:48
All right, Joe. Well, again, I'm not jumping my
35:53
list because I'm the song that I want to play right now because
35:57
it's been so long in this conversation and nobody said it,
35:59
so I'm a little bit worried about it.
36:01
Anyway, dot dot dot, you have to listen to the rest of this
36:04
episode to figure out what that song is.
36:06
There's my salesmanship. Same record that you just
36:09
played, Justin, I think. But it's got gun Blues.
36:13
Oh. Yeah.
36:14
OK. I'll take the two there.
36:16
Yeah, I don't have it. It's a different this one is a
36:19
different vibe on that album. This song, I thought I when I
36:23
when I heard it, it's just a different vibe than the rest of
36:25
the album, thought that I needed to to be spoken of.
36:29
I. Do I was also thankful that was
36:32
not a cover. Oh yeah, yeah.
36:36
I was like, I do that too. I think is this, is this going
36:39
to be Guns and Roses color? All right, Brian.
36:47
I'm just going to go. Let's go with Soul Weeper.
36:56
Don't have it? No, apparently I don't either.
37:03
Oh, so there it is. There you.
37:06
Oh, there you are, Peter. All right, All right, so that
37:12
puts us through all the normal rounds.
37:14
I mean, it's possible that we get something else here in the
37:16
dump out. Let me shuffle this out and then
37:19
I will go down from the top of my list.
37:25
Come on, computer, stay with me here.
37:26
All right, How about another day, another way?
37:31
No. Nope.
37:34
All right, how about Rebel Monster?
37:39
No. No, that was my last cut.
37:43
I see how I got jacked up here. This one was not online.
37:47
It's not supposed to be there. Let me change that.
37:50
All right, The Mirror and the Ripper.
37:55
Oh good, but I don't have it. No.
37:58
Bend. All right, Fallen.
38:05
Nope. I don't.
38:06
Wow. All right.
38:09
The gates of Babylon. Yes.
38:13
Hey. I cut that one for something
38:15
else. All right.
38:17
And last but not least, Domino. No, no.
38:24
Yeah, I saved all my binners for for the end of the Oh my.
38:28
Gosh. All right, so the bad news is
38:31
none of us are going to win four.
38:34
We did 4 through unanimously. That's crazy.
38:37
Like we started off so hot, but we also have like 8 million in
38:43
the conversation. So you can make the combo a
38:46
little harder here, Joe. Yeah, well, again, what I was
38:50
talking about when I say my last dump out, I'm going to be really
38:53
upset if Brian doesn't have this one.
38:55
It's not looking good. Anyway, what I have left is
38:59
something else or dot dot dot. No.
39:05
Evil in No. Let's see.
39:12
We played that one. We played that one.
39:14
OK, here's the last one. This is the most important one.
39:18
Of course. It's my favorite song, so it's
39:20
probably not going. Oh, no.
39:23
Yeah. Heaven nor hell.
39:28
Oh my God, you guys. I don't.
39:34
OK, you know what? When I saw them live, I saw them
39:38
live in 2013. And this album, you know, was
39:41
only about a year, some change old.
39:44
This is the definitely the most played song on radio.
39:48
And you know what song they didn't play at the show?
39:50
This song. So.
39:52
It's OK, OB let me down too. It's all right.
39:55
It's it's like it was foreshadowing for this episode.
40:00
Yeah, I was when we got to about 15 or so minutes and I was like,
40:05
this isn't going to be good guys.
40:07
This song is going to get played.
40:08
But hey, it's classic. Your favorite song.
40:10
It usually doesn't go well. On That's all right, Brian, Just
40:17
for shits and gigs, I suppose. A new day, the the Sacred Stones
40:29
say no more and Caroline #1. That's another one that I don't.
40:38
Know Caroline is but he wrote 2 songs about her.
40:40
Yeah, she's breathing, but she's #1.
40:45
Yeah, I noticed that none of us took Angel Fuck, which is the
40:50
cover. So sacred stems BIM and.
40:57
No, I definitely would have. I would have put Don't Tread on
41:00
Me. I think they're covered.
41:02
Their cover of that was really, really good.
41:04
I would have put I Only Want to Be with You.
41:06
That was really, really good. But I knew cover wise probably
41:10
wasn't going to play well on this show.
41:11
So, you know, I mean, again, sometimes it does, but not that
41:15
these covers were bad. It's just they have they have a
41:21
thing and I think it's easier to show their thing without showing
41:25
the covers. Yeah, 100.
41:29
Percent. All right, so let me run down
41:30
these unanimous and then we'll start combing out these twos.
41:35
So we've got Caroline leaving the Hangman's body count, Temple
41:38
of Ecore and Cloud 9. That's already off to a pretty
41:41
hot start. What we've got here in the convo
41:47
14 that we need to trim down to 6.
41:51
All right, I'll run these down. Lola Montez dead but rising
41:55
always dot woo a warriors call who they are.
41:58
Leviathan the devil's bleeding crown.
42:01
Doc holiday for evit Black Rose, Black Bart.
42:05
Wait a minute, my girl. Shotgun Blues.
42:08
The gates of Babylon. I mean the one that's jumping
42:11
out to me and, you know, pitch this guy's to to to you after
42:16
this. But the one that jumps out at me
42:18
is Lola Montez. It feels like that's, I think we
42:22
kind of have to have that, don't we?
42:27
Yes, I would agree with that comma.
42:32
A Warriors call absolutely has to be in.
42:35
OK, so let's grab both of those. Boom.
42:40
Yeah. Boom, boom.
42:43
And then that brings us up to six.
42:45
All right. So with those two added, Joe, is
42:49
there one another one there that you're kind of you can't believe
42:52
we didn't get through? Well, heaven or hell, of course,
42:56
but it's not on the list. I don't know if there's
43:02
necessarily one that I can't believe, but I guess I would say
43:12
either the Gates of Babylon or dude, I'm forgetting all of
43:19
them. You run.
43:19
Definitely The Gates of Babylon I think has a place in the list
43:23
because it's different. We think.
43:27
Shows shows their range. We think, yeah.
43:30
I was gonna say Gates about I had some some some regret on on
43:36
knocking that one off. I'm not even sure why I did.
43:40
Sometimes you just do. But yeah, I mean, it's no, it
43:47
should be there. All right.
43:48
So we'll take that as a 7. Is there one that you're looking
43:51
at, Brian, that because again, we still have three spots here,
43:54
so. These, well, the other ones I
44:02
really wanted were there ready, let's warriors call, got in
44:10
gates of battle on. Man, wait a minute, 1234 shit.
44:24
All right, sorry. No worries.
44:27
All right, no, Nope, It doesn't change anything.
44:31
It doesn't change anything. I'm looking at my Spotify list
44:35
on my phone and The Gates of Babylon was on there.
44:37
I didn't forget to write it down.
44:41
So it should have been unanimous, OK.
44:43
Oh, there was 5, so there was 5. OK, Yeah, it doesn't change
44:47
anything really other. Than doesn't change anything.
44:50
Sorry, I'm an idiot for clerical.
44:52
Reasons OK. OK, I forgot we're I forgot
44:56
we're doing the show, so it's OK.
45:00
All right, Yeah. I literally suggested the time
45:04
to do the show and I didn't even show up to it so it's OK buddy.
45:11
The other one, let's see what else I would fight for.
45:20
Do we have anything off? Seal the deal.
45:23
Babylon. Oh yeah, Babylon's right,
45:27
because there was 4 EV bleeding devil bleeding crown.
45:32
Those I would, I would, I would go forward for either of those
45:38
or Doc Holiday. I would go forward for either
45:41
Doc Holiday, Devil's Bleeding Crown or 4 EV.
45:49
I mean, I would, I would second what was.
45:54
I going. To say, I don't know, I was
45:59
going to say, oh, Doc Holiday, I would second Doc Holiday because
46:04
that's also a different sound from yeah, what we already have.
46:08
All right. So let's.
46:10
Grab Doc Holidays. Shows shows their range.
46:15
I'm going to put this one forward here because what does
46:18
that bring us to 8? I mean, we're dwindling down
46:23
here. What do we think about?
46:25
Wait a minute, my girl. Oh yeah, I forgot you mentioned
46:29
it. Yeah, I think we need to
46:30
definitely have. Wait a minute, my girl, that
46:33
harmonica solo, brother. We got to have a harmonica solo
46:36
on his list. If I'm not going to get heaven
46:40
nor hell, I need a harmonica solo.
46:43
I mean, what's funny is it's definitely not my my favorite
46:46
jam, but like it, it is what they do like in in a nutshell,
46:51
it's just a. If you were in, But if you were
46:55
in a Steak and Shake diner in the 40s, I bet you'd be line
47:00
dance or whatever. Swing dancing?
47:02
Yeah, with your girl. All right, so we've got one spot
47:06
left. Let me run down what we have
47:09
left here and I'll I'll kick it to you, Joe.
47:11
We've got dead but rising always that woo who they are.
47:14
Leviathan the Devil's bleeding crown for Avit.
47:18
Black Rose, Black Bart Shotgun Blues is one of those kind of
47:21
jumping out of you for the tent spot.
47:27
Well, three are jumping out at me.
47:28
Leviathan, Shotgun Blues and Dead But Rising.
47:37
I'm not going to think too hard about it.
47:39
I would say Leviathan because the guitar riff is just superior
47:45
in my view. All right before I kick.
47:50
Oh no, never mind. Cloud 9 is rewind.
47:52
I was going to say, I honestly, I was going to bring up the idea
47:56
of album representation, but I don't think that's critically
48:00
important with this band. But you did mention when
48:06
Leviathan came up, Brian, that it was, it was close for you,
48:11
right? It was close for me, and not
48:14
because it's the title of my second favorite Mastodon album,
48:20
but yeah. All right, so in the interest of
48:24
not overthinking it, let's grab Leviathan and round that out,
48:28
and then I'll run this down and we'll crank the heat up a little
48:31
bit while it's raining outside. Very nice.
48:38
All right. I mean, very.
48:39
That's a critically important thing for me to to say into a
48:42
microphone. All right, Caroline leaving the
48:45
Hangman's Body count. Temple of a Core Ecore.
48:48
Whatever it is. Cloud 9.
48:49
Lola Montez, A Warrior's Call. The Gates of Babylon.
48:53
Doc Holiday. Wait a minute, My girl and
48:55
Leviathan. Joe, I read you those 10 songs
48:58
down. Which one do you think is the
48:59
one? Oh, without a doubt, a warrior's
49:03
call. Oh, without a doubt, not a
49:06
shadow of doubt in my mind. Let me tell you, I have
49:10
listened. I'll tell you I've listened to
49:12
this song at least three times a day for like a week straight.
49:17
It is. To me, that's to me, that's
49:18
doing, it's doing the thing. It's doing the thing.
49:21
If we're, I mean, to me, somebody that's somehow never
49:24
heard of Volbeat, never listened to the radio day in their life,
49:27
I guess you hit push play and that comes on, you're going to
49:36
you're, you're going to be, your blood's going to be flowing.
49:39
Your hair is going to be raising up.
49:40
You're going to, you're going to be ready to go.
49:44
That's all I'm saying. And then you get to let's get
49:45
ready to rumble. And then it just get that that
49:51
classic bounciness, you get the. You're going to feel the fire as
49:55
you enter the ring. Oh, listen, I'm not sure why I
49:59
didn't have it initially to make it unanimous from the jump, but
50:04
I'm not going to argue. It was three, it was three years
50:08
ago we started doing this. Could have had something to do
50:11
with that? Probably and I, you know, who
50:13
knows, maybe if I would have listened to this song, you know,
50:17
before we went on, maybe I would have had it and been able to
50:21
make it unanimous. But either way, I'm I'm with it.
50:24
Let's make that our number one. I'm going to get it going under
50:26
here, under us and I think. I think even Fredo, who doesn't
50:33
like anything good, would appreciate that pick.
50:38
Love you buddy. Shots fired.
50:41
A Warriors call is going to be our number one.
50:43
Let me switch over to the unanimous list.
50:46
Here we go. A Warriors call is our #1
50:48
Caroline leaving the Hangman's body count, The Temple of the
50:50
Core, Cloud 9. Lola Montez, the Gates of
50:53
Babylon. Doc Holiday.
50:54
Wait a minute, my girl in Leviathan.
50:56
That's a scorching 10 rounds out our 10.
51:00
And with that, let's let a Warriors call get a moment in
51:04
the sun. Yeah, you guys are right.
51:12
I'm glad I Yeah, yeah, it's got. Yeah, it's got everything we
51:19
want. Glad I listened to you.
51:24
All right, we have done it. We have turned you into Volbeat
51:27
fans. And again, anything negative I
51:31
had to say about this band has nothing to do with the band at
51:35
all. And you know more on this on the
51:38
other side. We're going to do another thing
51:40
here called after the fact. And if you want to get in on
51:43
that, it's as simple as patreon.com/oh.
51:45
Hi Justin. A dollar a month gets you in the
51:47
door. You'll get to hear this
51:48
conversation that we're about to have that's further along.
51:53
You'll also get deprogrammed before the rest of the world and
51:56
you'll get the ever so occasional.
51:58
Oh, hi, Justin. I'm, I am working on a way to
52:01
make deprogrammed a daily podcast where it's musical
52:05
conversations throughout the the week.
52:08
And then Thursdays will still be your Deprogrammed, you know,
52:12
your normal scheduled Deprogrammed podcast where we
52:16
talk about a band. So I am working on it.
52:19
And that will probably be used through the live video feature
52:22
on Patreon. So I'm just saying
52:24
patreon.com/show. Hi Justin, would be a good place
52:27
to at least, if nothing else, show your interest in that idea.
52:31
If you want to show your interest in that idea without
52:34
giving a dollar, I get it man. Just let me know somewhere in a
52:36
message or something. Just let me know how you'd like
52:38
to be involved in that. If you bump up to the $5 level,
52:44
you actually get access to our Discord, which you do at the
52:47
$1.00 level as well. But you also get in some secret
52:49
channels where on our Discord where you can kind of talk to me
52:53
about, you know, things that you would like to see happen for the
52:55
Patreon. I'm open to ideas, just, you
52:58
know, trying to figure things out as we go.
53:02
That's pretty much everything for the Patreon.
53:04
I mentioned the discord. If you want to join the discord
53:08
but don't want to pledge a dollar.
53:10
I get that man, times is tough money.
53:12
Money is hard to come by right now.
53:15
Just ask me for the link. I'll send you a link.
53:17
And in our discord, we are growing a tree.
53:19
We are counting. And again, this it sounds like
53:22
we're kindergarteners, but we're not.
53:24
And there's also a deprogram channel where you can talk about
53:28
the podcast. There are sub channels, threads
53:32
of that where we are doing a music league.
53:34
There's actually several music leagues going right now and a
53:38
panel find panelists channel where if there's a band that you
53:43
want to talk about, you just jump in there and say, hey, I'd
53:45
like to talk about this. Would anybody be interested in
53:47
talking about this band with me? And lots of lost.
53:51
We talked about Highly Suspect last week.
53:54
That's how that came about. That's how these things usually
53:57
come about. And sometimes they take three
53:58
years to do. Who knew?
54:00
Sometimes they'd just be that way, man, finally.
54:05
And then I think that covers everything that we're a podcast.
54:08
So of course, subscribing, rating, commenting, all those
54:10
things are super helpful. Sharing is caring.
54:13
I would love that. But the absolute best way you
54:15
can help the show is by telling somebody that you listen to it.
54:17
Hey, I listen to the program and you should to end with that
54:21
Volby loving people. We'll see you next week.
54:24
Bye.
