  Speaker 1: hits big powerful voice. Um, so I have to live,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: but they have to leave in the band. You went
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to perform on Broadway. How did you make the transition
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: from rock? Start Broadway? Start talk talk about that? Well, specifically,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Atlantic Records was the label that put out skid Row,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and they also Atlantic Theater Division put out Jacqueline Hide
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the musical, the soundtrack record written by Leslie Brickuess, the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: legendary librettist, and then also Frank Wildhorn, who wrote the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: score the composer. So Frank went After four years of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the play being on Broadway, Frank went to Jason Flom
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and Atlantic Records and said, I want a rock star
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to play Jacqueline Hide. And Jason called me and he goes, hey, man,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're interested, is I go, do
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you have the right phone number? Like really? And then
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: he just explained to me that he thought with my
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: rough rock raspy voice, that would be like Mr. Hyde.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And then I also have a very clean ballad voice,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: which he said would work for Dr Jekyl. I thought
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: he was crazy and uh so, But I went to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: see the play with Jack Wagner in the lead, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I totally loved the play. I just I loved it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I loved the clothing. It was all like Victorian cool
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: clothes and like effects smoke bombs and beating people up
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: with like walking canes. And the plot was Dr Juckle
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: gets the girl and high murders him. The skillers what
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: could be better that wasn't really the plot, but but
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I just really loved it. I really really loved it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And there's a bunch of other reasons that I loved it,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: but that's how I got the play. And then that's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: how I got into Gilmore Girls because Dan Palladino, after
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you had the other guitar, Jared Pillicky, right, he split
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the show and he was in Lane's band, I believe,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and so, um Dan and Amy Aladino went to Atlantic,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: who put me in Broadway and they said, we we
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: want a rocker to be on Gilmore Girls, and they
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: said me so. And then Dan called me at home
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and he asked me, just when you asked me, how
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the heck did you get on Broadway? And he was
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: fascinated by that, so he was that was what got
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: me onto your show. Um so, so obviously that's what
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: made you lean into the acting more so. You did
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: thirteen episodes as Gil on Gilmore and you replace uh
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: guitar player for Dave in Lane span. I don't think
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: it was John. I think Jerry was ever in the band,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: but maybe I'm wrong. Had had you ever acted on
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a TV series before? Was that your first time? Yes?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I I I don't know if you're a member of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the channel v H one that used to have all
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: these rock shows and stuff. I don't know if The
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls was before that. But I did a lot
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of acting on um, some weird VH one things. But
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: but you know, I did some acting in school. Um.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: But I after Jacqueline Hyde, I was Rocky Horror as
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you called me when you first met me. Uh, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I played Riff Wrath um and that was after Jacqueline Hyde.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Then I was Jesus Christ Superstar. Oh my goodness, yeah, wow,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: what a good with Carl Anderson, Like if you watched
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the movie from seventy two. He was my Judas and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: he taught me so much about hitting the stage with
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: like all your heart and soul. He was a master.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: He was a member of the agot A Church. I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: don't know they're gone to that, that the big singing church.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And tragically Carl died during the during our tour. So
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that was really really heavy and uh, you know, yeah,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and there's some other stuff I can go into about
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: my dad and what the plays mean to me, Jacquelin
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and Jesus Christ Superstar. But that's this supposed to be fun.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Who was your first Cloe Well Jesus Christ Superstar Wars.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: It was really hard because if you weren't at the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: end of the play like on the Cross, if you
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: weren't crying, then then you were sucking you know, right right,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: right right? And who wants to cry every day like
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I would. I gotta put pictures in my dad, relatives
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: up in my trying to psyche myself in the right
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the actor's process. Yet sometimes it was certain jobs it's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: required and I guess with Jesus, you kind of know
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the ending there, so it's gonna requires Yeah. Well, um no,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I I hear you. I I just finished uh my
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: first season on a on a new TV series where
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I had to pretty much cry in every scene. I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: just sometimes dreaded to go to work, I said again,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: because if you're not crying, you're not pulling off right rights.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And I you know, I I kind of you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I was on location for four months. I missed my family.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I kind of went into the can a little bit.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I kind of got a little depressed there. And you know,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: because if you're mining so that so did that happen
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to you too? Because because of the role, you went
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: into some dark places and you, Oh my god, right,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's seen the play. There's so mean to Jesus.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to it's not funny, but it's like
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: they're really really Jesus. Act when he's riding on the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: palms and he was like oh, then he like there
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: was like Jesus, and then act too. I'm standing on
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the side of the stage looking down. I'm wearing a
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: diaper with no other clothes, basically nude. And I go
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: out there and I shuffled out there in my swaddling
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: clothes and uh. Then the stormtroopers and they're big jack boots.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: They're like whipping me and like back and forth, and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I got no shoes on. One of these dudes stands
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: on my toe like on stage, and I don't it's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: just it was the only time Jesus swore on stage.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: But man hurt. I wasn't part of the dial in
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: real Mouth. It's it's it's it theorized that he was
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the head of real potty mouth. Um really no, I
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm walking out of my um No. The
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: thing is to say, Sebastian, you know, Jesus didn't walk
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: like this man walk on how do you know? You like, really,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: what were you there? Were you there? Like maybe you
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: did walking about this what's up? Much more controlled and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: like this? And I go, well, you know, that's pretty
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: subjective for you to tell me that, you know, maybe
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you got the wrong Jesus, you know, maybe I should
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: have been insta maybe you know, No, you wouldn't. That's crazy,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to do that. You talking about a
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: career going from No More Girls, that's quitting, right right,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that's a heck of the range there, bro from Luke
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to Kill Our Clowns, clowns and saw But I hear,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I know, I get you drifted. Very funny, all right.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: So here's another question. This is from Lila from Salt
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Lake City. Going from being on stage in front of
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: millions to acting in front of a crew. What was
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that transition like for you? Well? I think about filming
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: The Gilmore Girls, and I think about like each episode
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: was one hour long, and there's not a lot of
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the TV shows like that anymore that I couldn't think of.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: And what I enjoyed about it was we all got along,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: like as as a cast and a crew, we all
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't there as long as you But
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: in my experience, everybody was like having fun together and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and we all were like auto mission to make something cool.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Well that's because they distributed mushroom at lunch so well,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: dude on on Twitter the other day they posted a
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: picture of help Alien and our band, but they spelled
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it hemp Alien and I was like, I'll be old
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: with my sub my sub shock. I got some chiba
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: hut come on your way. But then they deleted it
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: because I think they didn't. Then they put heap aliens.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: That's just I'm just plaining disrespectful. You gotta go take
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: care of that. Yeah. Um, So my answer would be
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that that everybody was on a team and I missed that.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I love the feeling of like you know, it was
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: a big cast and was a big crew, but we
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: were all on the same page as far as making
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: something that we were all proud of and getting paid
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: every Thursday. Was the rich don't plan to have you
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: on for more than one episode? Or did that grow
• 13:04

• 19:43
  Speaker 1: a fans dream for me coming to come. I'm want
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: to talk about your voice. Were you born with that
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: or did you work on that and and really train
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: your voice? I did, I do still to this day.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: So it's work, well, it's an it's a natural ability
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: mixed with technique. What's work is knowing how to do
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: a two hour show and then drive for eight hours
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and then do it again the next time. That's work.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: That's work, and so you have to know how to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: not push it too hard. So you have to there's
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: a technique called speech level singing where you don't you
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: don't you're not pushing it as hard as people think
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: you are, but then you save your power for those
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: epic screams or whatever. Your hardest thing to do. But
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: you have to learn how to do that. And when
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I got in skid Row, bon Jovi was helped us.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He took us on the whole New Jersey tour way
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: back in and he put me with his vocal coach,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Don Lawrence in New
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: York City who still teaches. So you want to go
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: get a lesson, he allows you to record a lesson.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: So I have tapes and tapes of me vocalizing with
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: this guy, and one of them is a vocal warm
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: up that I do before every single time I sing
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: every time, and it's just scales, but against your voice,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: it turns it into like an instrument. I don't know.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: The more I do that properly, more you sing properly
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: without like blowing it out, then it gets stronger. And
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I find like the more the more I sing clean,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the stronger my voice gets. If I put too much gravel,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: then then the quality the tone becomes less and if
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I keep it clean, it becomes this huge sound. So yeah, yeah,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: it's it's work. Yeah. I had to really, I had
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: to really train my voice to build it up to
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the throat muscles strong enough to sustain playing in a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: short set. Right, it's it's a lot of work. People
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: don't realize that it's it's it's a lot of work.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: But also when we were kids, you and me, nobody
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: had cell phones under nobody was filming the whole show
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: from the front row like underneath like and then posting
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. But when when I was a kid,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: we does sees Dan Halen David Lee Roth would run
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: out there and you go, I forgot that goddamn words,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and we would go yeah, and we would like each
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: other go, you mustn't even know a lot of words.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: He doesn't even know the words. And there's the greatest
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: thing I ever saw. Like it was completely different. It
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: was like it wasn't dissected. And like in skid Row,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: we would do a photo session for I don't know,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: six hours with six different photographers and shoot thousands of pictures, right,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: and we looked out like three you know what I mean,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Like you would pick the best ones, and that's what
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the public saw. It wasn't like it's just when you
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: talk about work Like. I used to go out on
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: stage and we would look at each other and we
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: would go, let's go crazy. Now I go up there, like,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: don't don't move around too much, you know, don't don't
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: jump around, because if you're running around and jumping around,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not gonna be the same as if
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you're standing perfectly on the mic, you know, because that's
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: how you make records. You know, you're not you're not
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: leaping off the drum riser while you're recording your album.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: You're in a you're in an air conditioned room. It's hard,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: isn't it. I found being like, especially the laying down
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: vocal tracks on recordings are difficult. Man. That's hard to do.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: You have to stand right there and if you don't
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: feel it, man, it's gonna come out flat. It's oh yeah,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: it's hard man. It's I like doubling my voice was
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you've done that where
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: you're staying and then you sing it to yourself and
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: it gives this thick, thick tone. Ozzy Osbourne when you
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: hear him saying Everything's dope. John Lennon. John Lennon never
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: put out a vocal that wasn't doubled really, so he
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: records it twice and they just lay one's one's way
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: lower volume really so yeah, so it gives your voice
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: this really like Auzzy when you listen to Crazy Train,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: he sounds crazy. Yeah, it's powerful. Yeah, that's called doubling.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: And next time you're in the studio and give that
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: a shot, because I find that really adds a nice tone. God,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I wish you'd known you were in Vegas. I was
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: just out there for U our Heart Radio music festival
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: through a weekend we stayed. We stayed a little bit
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: outside of where we stayed at that Green Valley. Yeah. Yeah,

  Speaker 1: never gets boring. Every track on the every work of genius.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: That album is a genius. Well. I read an interview
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: with Pete Townsend like two years ago or something, and
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: he was like, you know, I'm sorry. I want to
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: apologize to the planet for inventing heavy metal. Uh what
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: he does? I didn't intend to do that, but yes,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: we did do that the album Live of Leads. I go,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: that's a pretty ballsy interview to say that. So I
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: didn't have the album Live with Leads. So I went
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: got it and I put the needle down. I go, holy,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that is that is the first all right hanging. And
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: then the album has all these like you know, posters
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: and stickers, all the fun stuff you get to look
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: at like a crack of jack box. So you're ready,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Pete Townson's right, Um, so you're still rocket on stage?
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Did you just mentioned the kiss crews and recently was
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: easy top I feeling of being on stage? What does
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: it feel like to be on stage nowadays for you? Well,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: you know, as you get older, you you read interviews
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: with some singers and they they say, oh, I gotta
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: tune down the keys, or I gotta I gotta use tapes.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Everybody does that. I don't know, you know, but but
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't use tapes. I still don't. I don't.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I don't tune down the keys. I don't. Uh. I
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: can still hit the notes that I could hit before.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Like some time times. You know, if I'm playing a
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: club in Iowa or something and it's a Wednesday night,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: maybe I won't. Maybe I won't, as you were saying,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: feel as much as I would if I was at
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: a the l a form with Black Sabbath. You know.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: But that's where the that's where the filming comes in
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: all the time. You're like, Holy Holy, everybody's filming everything
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: all the time. You better say, bitch, do you do
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: you have a favorite show that you put on with
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: this good row? What was your the ultimate show that
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: you remember? Oh wow, that's a good question. Um. The
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: first thing that comes into my mind is Australia. Australia
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: is this They loved a party in Australia and everything
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: is like the hotels are nice. There's no it's all.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Everything's really like like five stars seems like down there,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: and the whole culture loves music. I mean, if you do,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you have you played in Australia, I'm telling you right now,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: they will love your ass down there. They will because
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: they love the Gilmore Girls. I'm surprised you haven't played there. Surprised,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: but that's a really really cool place. Um. I love
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: playing there. I love Japan, I love I love playing
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: in Japan. I love South America because they're out of
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: their cotton picked and boards. They're nuts for rock and
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: roll down there there. They just can't even deal with it.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: They just have the Ramans, right they weren't They weren't
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: huge in America, right, remember, but in Brazil they couldn't
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: leave their hotel. It was like hysterical. South America's awesome.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: So where are you appearing next? Do you have a
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: tour center or you have do you sort of do
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: weekend hits or you know how that this is getting
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: tired of me answering this. I basically I'm glad I
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: asked it. Well, now hang on it. Basically kind of
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: had to take this year off a little bit because
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I I'm not supposed to say this stuff. I I
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I've been working on music since to skin rough singers ago,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: working on music since before the pandemic. Okay, so I
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I had a masked a lot of music. And the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: thing about putting out music in is that you have
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: to figure out a way to cut through the clutter
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: because everybody in their cousin puts out an alum or
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: has a YouTube page or you know, there's no Like
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: a long time ago, there used to be record companies
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: that you had to like be good to get signed
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: or like not not just anybody put out records like
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it was a it was a
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: privilege and and and stuffing. You have to work for it.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: But with the advent of pro tools and technology, you
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: can be a wrestler and then just wake up the
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: next day. I'm gonna be a rocker, Like I mean,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: it's just it's like that show don't be tardy for
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: the party, that chick. I'm gonna be a singer. You know,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: you just walk in there and waffle out some half
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: ass take and then fix it up, you know laptop,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: So so was there being no gatekeepers? You have to
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: have a plan. And if you notice albums that are
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: big now, they have like such a long set up time,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: like an artist will put out three or four songs
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: or three or four videos even before the album comes out.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: So it's this big plan. And then there's also the
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: vinyl backlog. You have to get in line to produce
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: vinyl right now because vinyl is so hot everybody collects
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: it that you have to have like six months lead
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: time even to get into the vinyl pressing plans. So
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: that's very boring, but that's what's happening. We are amassing
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the plan. And I just already said too much. But
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: that's the answer, A right, good enough, good enough. So
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: you and I have a personal history when on Sunset
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Boulevard once you remember that, Remember I remember going to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: your house just youn me and watching the very last
• 33:07

• 33:18
  Speaker 1: totally into it. We were the only people in the
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: house and it was the very last episode. And then
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: get ready for this planet Earth then I took Scott
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: to my buddy Axel Roses house. And that's a true
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: story that happened though in this world. And I remember
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Axel hates Ferraris. Oh. He showed me his cars carp
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: on carpet. He had an end zo, an endzo that
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: you could only get by, and he I don't even
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: think he opened the windows or anything fired up red
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: and he had like red and blue lights and remember that.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I do. Good man, good dude. All right,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: let's get into this rapid fire ready. I'm gonna fire
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: questions at you right. How many cups of coffee do

• 36:57
  Speaker 1: know that will work. After a hangover, you need some
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: baked goods. That also reminds me of Jenny McCarthy on
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: the show, and she we were in a van going
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: to the set and coming from the trailer. Melissa McCarthy, Yeah,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, gosh, because I mean they're so similar. I
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: need more coffee. No, definitely, they're very similar. Anybody can
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: making a mistake. So Melissa McCarthy, I just met her
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and she gets into van and she had just scored
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: a acting role where she had to sing, and she
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: bored me in the van and goes, Supash, I don't
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: want her to sing? What do we do with her?
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: And then I told her about the warm up and
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: singing clean and don't blow it out and all this stuff.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: It was a great memory where she was really freaked
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: out but she had to sing, and I was like, just,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: you know, like just do it. I just I can't
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: imagine Melissa be intimidated. She's so talented, she could do anything.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: But she started on the Gilber Girls, right or pretty
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: much writer. I mean I didn't know who she was
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: before and I think that was her first big job. Yeah, well,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: good for her. Yeah, um, would you rather listen to
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Drella's Harp or the Troopadours cover songs, The Trooper Doors
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: cover songs, Gramly Phillips, the Man the Myth. Oh he
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: was cool man, it was, wasn't he. Yeah? And also
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I remember the day that Sonic Youth came down to
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: the set and I hung out with them. That was amazing.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: And also, you know, Carol Kane, unbelievable. That was a
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: great set to be on. That was totally totally fun. Chilton,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Prepper Stars, Hollow High starts a lot. There you go,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Sebastian Bach, you know, Yeah, I have one more little
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: anecdote to tell you. So so I'm on the Gilmore
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Girls like come, I'm on Broadway all this acting stuff,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and my agent calls me and they go, hey, Sebastian,

  Speaker 1: I was like because I like the show a Law
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: and Order. So I was very excited to go try out. Okay,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: this is after being on the Gilmourts for a couple
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: of years, and you're gonna laugh at this. So I
• 39:37

• 40:02
  Speaker 1: slow down. I go on Gilmore girls. Every time I
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: deliver a line, they tell me to speed it up.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, that's okay. I'm seeing that. I don't
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: see law and order on in Australia. No, they're they're
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: they're the poorer for it. What a mistake they made. Uh. Anyway,
