- 8:18SPEAKER_04: But yeah, that's that's uh but I mean it's uh it's an employee-owned thing anyway.
- 8:24SPEAKER_02: I think he's just a figurehead more at this point, but so um I did go to BAM though, um, and I I wanted to point out I wanted to point out that I usually go there and and look for a particular magazine, and it's a magazine that's an import from Europe.

- 9:26SPEAKER_02: Holy crap, that's a big deal.
- 9:28SPEAKER_02: For a magazine.
- 9:29SPEAKER_02: So I did not buy it.
- 9:31SPEAKER_02: That's good.
- 9:32SPEAKER_02: I flipped through it and looked and read it, but I didn't I didn't buy it.
- 9:36SPEAKER_04: You should you shouldn't flip through it and then like taking pictures of it like you're a spy.

- 10:30SPEAKER_02: It's right over there.
- 10:31SPEAKER_02: And so he did.
- 10:32SPEAKER_02: He turned the air conditioner on, which I I guess I forgot, or I was half asleep, but it was right in the face of my sixth grader.
- 10:41SPEAKER_02: So he slept with the air conditioning on all night long.
- 10:44SPEAKER_02: And I'm not sure if that's what caused it or not, but uh coming back, he was not feeling so so hot.
- 10:51SPEAKER_04: Uh oh yeah, he had you know conditioned air in his face for hours.
- 10:56SPEAKER_02: Right.

- 11:30SPEAKER_04: So and your done virtual, I couldn't have played with all these backgrounds.
- 11:34SPEAKER_01: Exactly.

- 11:43SPEAKER_04: Ah, you know, it was it's kind of meh, whatever.
- 11:47SPEAKER_04: But uh Sunday night I couldn't sleep.
- 11:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 11:50SPEAKER_04: So I I stayed up on YouTube and like watched these reaction videos.
- 11:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah, have you seen these?
- 11:56SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I love it.
- 11:57SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
- 11:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I do, yeah, absolutely.
- 11:59SPEAKER_04: Like these people watch like uh, you know, listen to a song or watch a video of something, you know.
- 12:04SPEAKER_04: And I get a kick out of them.
- 12:06SPEAKER_04: So the first one I saw, I I kind of went down this rabbit hole.
- 12:09SPEAKER_04: So I've I've I was just kind of scrolling, I re I put in reaction videos in the search engine, and and the first one I saw that interests me was this was this guy that critiques drum solos.
- 12:20SPEAKER_04: Oh, I haven't seen those.
- 12:22SPEAKER_04: This would be interesting.
- 12:23SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 12:23SPEAKER_04: So his he critiqued Neil Peart live in Frankfurt.
- 12:29SPEAKER_04: So he gets on, he's like, yeah, so I'm gonna I'm gonna watch this Neil Peart video.
- 12:33SPEAKER_04: I've never seen Neil Peart play.
- 12:35SPEAKER_04: Um uh I'm gonna watch it and then I'm gonna critique it afterwards.
- 12:38SPEAKER_04: Okay, so you know, Neil, you know, this was awesome.
- 12:42SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 12:42SPEAKER_04: I mean, and the guy the whole time the guy was just like, What?
- 12:47SPEAKER_04: What?
- 12:49SPEAKER_04: What?
- 12:49SPEAKER_04: What?
- 12:50SPEAKER_04: And then at the end of the video, right?
- 12:52SPEAKER_04: The video ends.
- 12:53SPEAKER_04: He's just standing, he's just sitting there and he's just looking at the screen.
- 12:56SPEAKER_04: He's like, I have nothing to say.
- 13:00SPEAKER_04: That was perfect.
- 13:04SPEAKER_04: But how do you how do you critique, how do you call yourself a drummer, critique drumming videos and never seen Neil Peer?
- 13:11SPEAKER_02: So so he so that was the that's the thing.
- 13:13SPEAKER_02: These reaction videos, they've net they've never seen uh them play.
- 13:18SPEAKER_02: I I half the time I think these are put on.
- 13:22SPEAKER_04: I think so too.
- 13:23SPEAKER_04: This guy was just so funny because he it was like for a good 30 seconds he just looked at the screen, he was just like, is it he was kind of like slack jawed?
- 13:31SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I have nothing to say.
- 13:33SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I was just like, I had nothing to say.
- 13:35SPEAKER_04: It was Neil Peer, man.
- 13:36SPEAKER_02: I and then I oh go ahead, sir.
- 13:38SPEAKER_02: Oh, I was just gonna say, I mean, I've seen some of these reaction videos where um people have people listen to ACDC for the first time, and I find that hard to believe that you've never heard ACDC.
- 13:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's anyway, go ahead.
- 13:53SPEAKER_04: But then so then I, you know, I'm the you know, because it gives you like suggestions of things.
- 13:57SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 13:57SPEAKER_04: But then I see this like this the name of her channel is the charismatic voice.
- 14:02SPEAKER_02: Oh, she's a vocal uh instructor.
- 14:05SPEAKER_04: Yeah, she's an opera singer and vocal instructor.
- 14:08SPEAKER_04: She's pretty great, she knows what she's talking about.
- 14:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it was her reaction video to the Metallica video one.
- 14:14SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 14:15SPEAKER_04: Okay, she you know, apparently it it was only her second exposure to Metallica.
- 14:20SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 14:20SPEAKER_04: Her first was Master of Puppets, and I was like, oh, that's awesome.
- 14:23SPEAKER_04: You know, but this so she you know, and you know the the the one video, it's that it's Johnny got his gun, you know, interspersed with she was completely like, I don't, you know, like you said, it might have been put on, but she was like literally like misting up crying.
- 14:41SPEAKER_01: Really?
- 14:42SPEAKER_04: Because of the words and how Hetfield sings it and the you know, interspersed with the movie, you know, because it's a pretty dark movie, yeah, you know, and everything like that.
- 14:51SPEAKER_04: And she was just like, you know, like you know, at the end of it, she was just like you know, but she had some really cool insights about James Hetfield and his voice and the the musicality of the song and things like that.
- 15:03SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 15:04SPEAKER_04: And then I saw then I was like, so I was kind of interested.
- 15:08SPEAKER_04: So she did one with Pantera and Cemetery Gates.
- 15:12SPEAKER_04: She had some really cool insights about Phil Ansamo.
- 15:15SPEAKER_04: Really?
- 15:15SPEAKER_04: You know, and his voice.
- 15:17SPEAKER_04: Because he can really that he can actually sing, but he adds the as an effect.
- 15:23SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 15:23SPEAKER_04: I thought was kind of neat.
- 15:25SPEAKER_04: And then she called Lars Ulrich a fun character.
- 15:31SPEAKER_04: Like a gnome?
- 15:33SPEAKER_04: No.
- 15:35SPEAKER_04: I've been listening to Metallica since the 80s.
- 15:38SPEAKER_04: I have never heard I've heard Lars called a lot of things, but never a fun character.
- 15:44SPEAKER_04: Uh have you ever seen her?
- 15:46SPEAKER_04: Because a lot of these, because a couple of these videos are from their um, well, the one, the Master of Puppets video was from that movie Through the Never.
- 15:53SPEAKER_04: Remember?
- 15:54SPEAKER_04: Yep, the 3D movie.
- 15:55SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 15:56SPEAKER_04: That's where it was from.
- 15:57SPEAKER_04: So she was very confused by the stage setup because they have the Injustice for All statue.
- 16:03SPEAKER_04: They have the crosses from Master of Puppets on the stage, you know, and everything like that.
- 16:08SPEAKER_04: It's all on the stage at the same time.
- 16:09SPEAKER_04: And she was like, she was just very confused.
- 16:11SPEAKER_04: She was like, What is going on?
- 16:12SPEAKER_04: Is this what how do you how do you play on stage with the statue falling?
- 16:16SPEAKER_04: I'm like, don't worry, they're all fine.
- 16:19SPEAKER_02: Is this the one that's the one with the kid that's like running through town or something like that?
- 16:23SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he's like the roadie, and he needs they send him on this, you know, this errand, and he gets caught up in some riot and all these weird, you know.
- 16:30SPEAKER_04: It's a weird movie, but it the concert video is what I got it for us.
- 16:34SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
- 16:34SPEAKER_02: Have you ever seen her she the charismatic voice, uh I I think, if it's the same one, um, she uh uh had a uh first reaction to Chris Stapleton.
- 16:46SPEAKER_02: Oh really?
- 16:47SPEAKER_02: I didn't see that.
- 16:48SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
- 16:48SPEAKER_02: I and I think I think she's well, I know there was a vocal instructor that had uh there's does a reaction video to Chris Stapleton, and she's just like uh beside herself uh at his voice, which everybody is anyway.
- 17:00SPEAKER_04: So yeah, yeah.
- 17:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 17:02SPEAKER_04: So that's cool.
- 17:02SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah, I thought those were just kind of especially just the guy that was like, I have nothing to say.
- 17:07SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 17:09SPEAKER_04: I was like, of course you have nothing to say.
- 17:10SPEAKER_04: It's no beer, man.
- 17:11SPEAKER_04: You can't say anything.
- 17:12SPEAKER_02: We should dude, we should do a reaction video.
- 17:15SPEAKER_02: That would be funny.
- 17:16SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we but what but what would we watch?
- 17:18SPEAKER_04: I mean I don't know.
- 17:19SPEAKER_04: You know what it was this is uh music from the Amazon.
- 17:25SPEAKER_02: You know what we could do?
- 17:26SPEAKER_02: We could watch, because I know neither one of us has ever watched it, we could watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
- 17:32SPEAKER_04: Oh my god.
- 17:33SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 17:37SPEAKER_02: Right, something like that, and just and be like a like a mystery science theater 3000 type thing or whatever.
- 17:43SPEAKER_03: Oh my god, yeah, we would kill that, man.
- 17:45SPEAKER_02: That would be awesome.
- 17:47SPEAKER_02: Um so uh we had uh last week we talked about uh our couple of Deaf Leopard songs.
- 17:54SPEAKER_02: Was it last week or the week before?
- 17:55SPEAKER_02: I think it was last week.
- 17:57SPEAKER_04: Oh, we've we've actually been talking about them for a couple of weeks now.
- 17:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because the album comes out.
- 18:00SPEAKER_02: I think the album comes out this Friday, the 27th.
- 18:03SPEAKER_02: Is it this week or next week?
- 18:04SPEAKER_02: It's this week.
- 18:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's it's uh it's the May 27th.
- 18:08SPEAKER_02: Um and so they've been releasing uh songs to kind of coincide.
- 18:13SPEAKER_02: They've actually been doing a lot of press, and it's and it's uh a big push for this new album, which is called Diamond Star Halo's.
- 18:20SPEAKER_02: They released a new song um last week, last Friday, I think.
- 18:24SPEAKER_02: Um, and it's the first one that they've released from this new album that I'm not crazy about.
- 18:31SPEAKER_02: I mean it's okay, it's okay.
- 18:34SPEAKER_02: Um, but it seems I don't know what the word that I'm looking for is contrived.
- 18:42SPEAKER_04: Well, it seems recycled from the adrenalized album.
- 18:45SPEAKER_04: Remember that song they had that first single off the adrenalized album?
- 18:48SPEAKER_02: Let's get rocked.
- 18:50SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it reminded me a lot of like when when he started kepting in with the vocal.
- 18:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 18:54SPEAKER_04: I was like, oh, this sounds like Let's Get Rocked, man.
- 18:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and you know, I read a thing too, Joe, an interview with Joe Elliott, where he says he at the time he thought Let's Get Rocked was fun and kind of humorous, but he regrets releasing it.
- 19:11SPEAKER_04: Well, yeah, I mean it was I mean it wasn't a terrible song, but I think there were better songs on that album to release first off than that one.
- 19:18SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
- 19:19SPEAKER_04: And it kind of ruined the album for me a little bit.
- 19:22SPEAKER_02: Um so I wanted to play a little bit of this new single.
- 19:26SPEAKER_02: Um, because I I pre-ordered the album and I th I w I would think I was gonna get it before the release date, but maybe I'm not.
- 19:33SPEAKER_02: I thought that's what pre-alb pre-ordering was supposed to be.
- 19:37SPEAKER_04: Uh are you getting an actual album or the download?
- 19:40SPEAKER_02: I'm getting an an actual album.
- 19:42SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
- 19:43SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you probably you might get it on that day, you might not.
- 19:47SPEAKER_04: It's you know.
- 19:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 19:48SPEAKER_04: Anyway.
- 19:49SPEAKER_04: It depends on what the male elves do.
- 19:51SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 19:52SPEAKER_04: Um so I don't mean guy elves, I mean, you know, m actual male roles.
- 19:57unknown: Right.
- 19:58SPEAKER_04: You know, the ones that deliver your packages and you don't know about it.
- 20:01SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 20:02SPEAKER_02: So the first single was Kick, which was a very 70s uh glam rock um T-Rex type song.
- 20:11SPEAKER_02: Uh the second single was uh Take What You Want, which we agreed with the intro was too long, but it was uh it was still pretty good.
- 20:19SPEAKER_02: Uh I got somebody trying to call me right now.
- 20:22SPEAKER_02: I'm going to decline.
- 20:23SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that would explain why you're all like fuzzy now.
- 20:26SPEAKER_02: There.
- 20:26SPEAKER_02: Uh can you still see me?
- 20:28SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 20:29SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 20:29SPEAKER_02: Uh so this next uh single is called Fire It Up.
- 20:33SPEAKER_02: And and again, I guess contrived is the word that comes to mind.
- 20:37SPEAKER_02: Um, but let me play a little bit of it and uh we'll talk about it.
- 21:34SPEAKER_02: So again, it it sounds like Def Leopard.
- 21:38SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's very a very Def Leopardy song.
- 21:41SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 21:41SPEAKER_04: I think what bothers me about the I think because the chorus is, you know, is the call, you know, they want to get everybody really like ah, you know, that's like you know what they want.
- 21:50SPEAKER_04: But the fact that it goes up at the end, ah read up that doesn't seem right to me.
- 21:57SPEAKER_04: For some reason, it should be like, ah read up.
- 22:02SPEAKER_04: I think that was, you know, some, you know, in a lower instead of going up at the end, it should stay like Right.
- 22:09SPEAKER_04: You know, I I think that's what bugs me about the core.
- 22:12SPEAKER_02: It reminds see and again, we we get to the point where it's like it's Deaf Leopard, and so you know what to expect, right?
- 22:20SPEAKER_02: Uh we've had this, we've had this discussion before.
- 22:23SPEAKER_02: Um this sounds like another Deaf Leopard song.
- 22:26SPEAKER_02: I can't think of what it is.
- 22:28SPEAKER_04: But I I still say let's get rocked from Adrenaline.
- 22:32SPEAKER_04: You know, it's it's got that element to it.
- 22:34SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 22:36SPEAKER_04: And it you know it something about it reminds me of uh a little bit of Power Station.
- 22:43SPEAKER_02: Power Station.
- 22:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know, remember, you know, you remember Power Station.
- 22:47SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 22:47SPEAKER_04: Rubber Palmer and uh the the Taylor brothers and the Rambo drummer.
- 22:52SPEAKER_02: So maybe it's maybe it's just uh um production thing.
- 22:57SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I just it's something, yeah, that I mean I think it's just I think it's just them, you know, recycling old idea.
- 23:05SPEAKER_04: It's like that riff that Eddie played at the end of Jump that they turned into um uh Top of the World.
- 23:13SPEAKER_04: Top of the World, yeah.
- 23:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 23:16SPEAKER_02: Um it this this song is three minutes and nineteen seconds, and it seems like it's it's it's just the chorus over and over again.
- 23:28SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's probably just a song, just I think maybe live it'll be, you know, ah you know, it's it's you know getting the crowd into it because it's easy, it's easy to sing and it's easy to remember, you know, it's not a complicated thing.
- 23:42SPEAKER_04: I mean, I think it's just gonna be one of those songs to get everybody like fire them up, you know.
- 23:47SPEAKER_02: So yeah, you know what it also sounds like, um, and you're right, they are that type of band.
- 23:52SPEAKER_02: I mean, they are yeah, they are an arena rock band.
- 23:56SPEAKER_02: Um, definitely.
- 23:57SPEAKER_02: So I like what you did there.
- 23:59SPEAKER_02: Definitely.
- 24:00SPEAKER_02: Get it, Def Leopard?
- 24:02SPEAKER_02: Oh, you didn't even plan that, did you?
- 24:03SPEAKER_04: Okay, I wasn't I didn't even mean to do that, but I planned that from the beginning.
- 24:08SPEAKER_02: There was a song, uh, this one.
- 24:12SPEAKER_02: You won't be able to hear it, but no.
- 24:18SPEAKER_02: Maybe not, maybe I'm wrong.
- 24:20SPEAKER_02: This is a song off uh Sparkle Lounge called Come On, Come On.
- 24:27SPEAKER_02: Actually, maybe this is the song that it reminds me of.
- 24:30SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 24:31SPEAKER_02: Uh but again.
- 24:37SPEAKER_02: It sounds like Def Leopard.
- 24:39SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's it's a Def Leopard song, so maybe I'm just being critical.
- 24:42SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah, there's no doubt about that.
- 24:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah, maybe I'm just being maybe I'm just being too critical.
- 24:46SPEAKER_02: And and you know, we we tend to go uh negative sometimes when we're talking about new music.
- 24:51SPEAKER_02: But I'm still excited about this uh new Def Leopard album, and it was recorded in a in a really a different way, and and from every interview that I've seen or read with Joe Elliott, um they're not gonna go back to the regular way of recording because it doesn't make any sense uh these days.
- 25:11SPEAKER_02: Um they were locked down for this album.
- 25:14SPEAKER_02: So it was um Joe would send Joe would come up with an idea, or Phil would come up with an idea, and they would record something and they'd send it to each other, they would add to it, and before you knew it, they had four songs, and then and then um the bass player Rick Savage had a song, so he sent that along, and they they just pieced it together um over the internet, and that's how this album was born.
- 25:41SPEAKER_02: So I guess that's one way to do it.
- 25:44SPEAKER_04: Well, that may become the norm because it saves time and it saves money.
- 25:48SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 25:49SPEAKER_04: I don't I don't think it's as productive.
- 25:52SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'd rather be in the studio doing it live, but is it not as productive or is it because think about the think about the people that um when when the lockdown came and they went remote and they actually stayed remote because um they could be home and they could get all their work done.
- 26:12SPEAKER_02: Uh and and and for some people that works.
- 26:15SPEAKER_02: For some people, they're more productive while they're at home.
- 26:18SPEAKER_04: It could be.
- 26:18SPEAKER_04: I just you know, just personally, I like to be in person.
- 26:21SPEAKER_02: Oh, me too.
- 26:22SPEAKER_02: For for me, I don't think I could work from home because A, I have kids.
- 26:26SPEAKER_02: Um and I want to get away from home.
- 26:29SPEAKER_02: Well, there's just there's not saying that my kids are a distraction, but there are a lot of distractions around here.
- 26:37SPEAKER_02: I'm sitting here with like a bunch of guitars and I want to I want to play 'em, you know, and if I was working, you know, I'd I'd, you know.
- 26:45SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 26:46SPEAKER_02: But um I like the idea of getting in a studio and feeding off each other.
- 26:54SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 26:54SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
- 26:55SPEAKER_04: That's what I like.
- 26:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 26:56SPEAKER_02: Not that we've really ever done that, but Yeah, yeah.
- 27:01SPEAKER_02: We did our album, that's what we did.
- 27:03SPEAKER_02: Well, but w those songs were already written and already, but it was still, you know, the th the four of us.
- 27:10SPEAKER_04: True.
- 27:11SPEAKER_04: You know, in a studio for like sixteen sixteen hours per day.
- 27:17SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 27:18SPEAKER_04: Like three different things, man.
- 27:20SPEAKER_02: So yeah.
- 27:21SPEAKER_02: Uh I guess I I guess I can't knock it until I try it, or if uh, you know, unless I try it.
- 27:26SPEAKER_02: So but yeah, I think he's uh he's got a point that uh that a lot of people are gonna be going that way.
- 27:35SPEAKER_02: So anyway, what else is going on?
- 27:38SPEAKER_04: Did you want to do the uh the 50 most annoying songs?
- 27:42SPEAKER_02: We're gonna go with the top 15 for time purposes.
- 27:45SPEAKER_04: Actually, I'm just gonna scroll through, and if I if I like if I don't even know the song, I'm not even gonna bother mentioning it.
- 27:50SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 27:51SPEAKER_02: Do that.
- 27:52SPEAKER_02: Where does this come from?
- 27:53SPEAKER_02: What uh what is the source?
- 27:55SPEAKER_04: Earnspend live.com.
- 27:57SPEAKER_02: Earnspendlive.com.
- 28:00SPEAKER_02: They got their plug now.
- 28:01SPEAKER_02: We're using their content, so go ahead.
- 28:03SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 28:03SPEAKER_04: The first one that came up, 500 miles by the proclaimers.
- 28:09SPEAKER_02: Everybody loves that song.
- 28:11SPEAKER_02: Every time we play that song, they just go crazy.
- 28:13SPEAKER_02: I don't know that that's an annoying song.
- 28:15SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean, it's it's if you've ever watched the show How You Me How I Met Your Mother, yeah.
- 28:21SPEAKER_04: That single is stuck in Marshall's car.
- 28:24SPEAKER_04: So every time they're in the car, that's what plays.
- 28:30SPEAKER_04: Afternoon Delight, Starline, Starland Vocal Band.
- 28:34SPEAKER_02: I do think that is an annoying song.
- 28:36SPEAKER_02: I do think so too.
- 28:37SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 28:38SPEAKER_02: It's got Rockets in Flight.
- 28:42SPEAKER_02: Final countdown, Europe.
- 28:45SPEAKER_02: That's annoying?
- 28:47SPEAKER_02: That's what this is.
- 28:48SPEAKER_02: Well, maybe because they play it at the stadiums and stuff like that all the time, sports sporting events.
- 28:54SPEAKER_04: Maybe uh if any song sounds like the 80s, it's final countdown.
- 28:58SPEAKER_04: From the synth to the vocals, you're transported to the time of Big Hair and Neon Colors.
- 29:02SPEAKER_04: In case you forget, while you're listening to the song, they remind you 13 times that it's the final countdown.
- 29:08SPEAKER_03: That's that's good though.
- 29:10SPEAKER_04: You'll be counting down the time till the song's up.
- 29:14SPEAKER_04: Uh let's see.
- 29:15SPEAKER_04: Copacabana, Barry Manilo.
- 29:17SPEAKER_02: Yep, I can see that.
- 29:18SPEAKER_04: I agree with that.
- 29:19SPEAKER_04: Uh Cotton Eye Joe.
- 29:21SPEAKER_02: That is yes, that is extremely annoying.
- 29:24SPEAKER_04: Super annoying.
- 29:25SPEAKER_04: The lyrics are inspired by STDs.
- 29:27SPEAKER_04: Did you know that?
- 29:28SPEAKER_02: No, I didn't know that.
- 29:30SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that.
- 29:31SPEAKER_04: This song recently came back into popularity through internet meme culture, but it should have stayed in the past.
- 29:36SPEAKER_04: The lyrics are inspired by STDs, with Cotton Eye Joe referencing the cotton swab test performed at a doctor's office.
- 29:43SPEAKER_04: You'll never look at the song.
- 29:44SPEAKER_04: You'll never look at this song the same way again after learning that.
- 29:48SPEAKER_02: I had no idea.
- 29:49SPEAKER_02: I didn't either, but I don't think about the think about the lyrics.
- 29:54SPEAKER_02: If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe, I'd been married a long time ago.
- 29:59SPEAKER_02: There it is.
- 30:00SPEAKER_02: There it is.
- 30:01SPEAKER_04: That explains it.
- 30:03SPEAKER_04: Uh what's new Pussycat?
- 30:05SPEAKER_04: Tom Jones.
- 30:06SPEAKER_02: Well, I don't find that song annoying, but what was that?
- 30:10SPEAKER_02: Who was that comedian that kept playing that song over and over in a bar?
- 30:14SPEAKER_03: Oh, John, John Mahaney.
- 30:16SPEAKER_03: John Mahaney, yes.
- 30:17SPEAKER_03: There's a great bit.
- 30:19SPEAKER_03: That bit is so funny.
- 30:20SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 30:21SPEAKER_04: Who is the dogs out?
- 30:22SPEAKER_04: Baha me.
- 30:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's extremely annoying.
- 30:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 30:26SPEAKER_04: Uh You're beautiful, James Blunt.
- 30:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I find that.
- 30:30SPEAKER_04: I think it's because of the great.
- 30:31SPEAKER_02: Because of what?
- 30:33SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yep, yep, yep.
- 30:35SPEAKER_04: You know.
- 30:36SPEAKER_02: Disco duck.
- 30:37SPEAKER_02: Oh, Rick D's.
- 30:39SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 30:40SPEAKER_02: Yep, that's kind of annoying.
- 30:41SPEAKER_04: This one I can relate to.
- 30:43SPEAKER_04: Photograph by Nickelback.
- 30:45SPEAKER_02: Any song by Nickelback, really.
- 30:47SPEAKER_04: Any song by Nickelback is annoying.
- 30:50SPEAKER_02: That uh that meme, I still find that meme hilarious.
- 30:54SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, I do too.
- 30:56SPEAKER_02: Where he's holding up a graph.
- 30:58SPEAKER_03: Look at this graph!
- 31:05SPEAKER_04: Okay, uh, if Jenna's listening, she might want to cover ears for this one.
- 31:09SPEAKER_04: Hmm, Bob, handsome brothers.
- 31:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I don't know if I find that annoying.
- 31:15SPEAKER_02: I know her husband does.
- 31:20SPEAKER_03: Barbie Girl, Aqua.
- 31:22SPEAKER_03: Barbie Girl.
- 31:23SPEAKER_03: I get that.
- 31:23SPEAKER_02: Yep, I do too.
- 31:26SPEAKER_03: In a Barbie world.
- 31:29SPEAKER_02: We built this city, Starship.
- 31:32SPEAKER_02: See, everybody gives that song such a bad rap.
- 31:34SPEAKER_02: I like that song.
- 31:35SPEAKER_02: I do too.
- 31:36SPEAKER_02: Maybe it's because I'm from that era.
- 31:38SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 31:39SPEAKER_04: Probably, but you know, that's just I have a I've always kind of liked that song, so.
- 31:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 31:44SPEAKER_04: Message in a bottle, the police.
- 31:46SPEAKER_04: What?
- 31:48SPEAKER_04: How that's annoying?
- 31:50SPEAKER_04: Most people can make it through Message in a Bottle just fine until they get near the end.
- 31:54SPEAKER_04: From that point, the police sing sending out an SOS for a solid minute.
- 31:58SPEAKER_04: We're not joking.
- 31:59SPEAKER_04: A solid 60 seconds of sending out an SOS.
- 32:02SPEAKER_04: At that point, we're sending out an SOS.
- 32:04SPEAKER_04: Save us from the song.
- 32:12SPEAKER_04: Oh, jeez.
- 32:15SPEAKER_04: Livin' La Vita Loca.
- 32:16SPEAKER_04: Ricky Martin.
- 32:17SPEAKER_04: I get that.
- 32:19SPEAKER_02: I I don't know that I find it annoying.
- 32:22SPEAKER_02: You know, the same person that wrote uh Livin' La Vida Loca also wrote Livin' on a Prayer.
- 32:28SPEAKER_02: Oh, right.
- 32:29SPEAKER_02: With John Bon Jovi and and uh and Richie Sambora, Desmond Child, yeah.
- 32:33SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that.
- 32:34SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 32:35SPEAKER_04: This upbeat song is easy to get stuck in your head and nearly impossible to get out.
- 32:38SPEAKER_04: Sure it's catchy, but that doesn't mean I want to hear it a million times.
- 32:42SPEAKER_04: Not to mention the chorus is sung a total of four times during about a four-minute song.
- 32:47SPEAKER_04: That's quite a bit of considering how long it is.
- 32:49SPEAKER_04: For Livin' La Vita Loca, thanks to Ricky Martin.
- 32:53SPEAKER_02: I want to see if Desmond Child wrote that song by himself or Sherry, the four seasons.
- 33:00SPEAKER_02: I do not find that song annoying.
- 33:02SPEAKER_04: I don't either, man.
- 33:04SPEAKER_04: I think I think most of it's because of that high falsetto.
- 33:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Livin' La Vita Loca was written by Desmond Child and a guy named Draco Rosa.
- 33:12SPEAKER_02: I just wanted to give uh credit where credit was due.
- 33:15SPEAKER_04: There we go.
- 33:16SPEAKER_04: Ice ice baby, no ice.
- 33:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I guess that's annoying.
- 33:22SPEAKER_04: I I don't know.
- 33:23SPEAKER_04: I kind of I kind of dig it.
- 33:25SPEAKER_04: Well, I do too.
- 33:26SPEAKER_04: Um But I I can see I can see how it get annoying.
- 33:30SPEAKER_02: I guess.
- 33:31SPEAKER_04: Here's one I agree with.
- 33:32SPEAKER_04: My heart will go on, Celine Dion.
- 33:34SPEAKER_02: That's annoying.
- 33:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 33:36SPEAKER_02: I have to tell you though, when I when that when I first saw that movie, it was with my wife.
- 33:42SPEAKER_02: We were we were married then.
- 33:44SPEAKER_04: I saw it with you guys.
- 33:44SPEAKER_04: It was the three of us.
- 33:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 33:46SPEAKER_04: And it was I kept making that joke that the captain looked like Obi-Wan Kenobi.
- 33:50SPEAKER_04: Right, he did.
- 33:51SPEAKER_04: And I kept going, sink this boat, Luke.
- 33:56SPEAKER_04: I forgot.
- 33:57SPEAKER_04: I think your wife got fired of you making Star Wars jokes through that the movie.
- 34:01SPEAKER_02: But I was taken, I was taken with the music in that movie.
- 34:04SPEAKER_02: James Horner did all the music in that movie.
- 34:07SPEAKER_02: And uh I like that song, at least for you know, the first maybe 40 times I heard it, and then it was just uh destroyed, uh as radio does.
- 34:19SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 34:20SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I get it.
- 34:21SPEAKER_04: Karma Chameleon Culture Club.
- 34:24SPEAKER_02: I'm not sure I find that annoying.
- 34:26SPEAKER_02: I like that song.
- 34:26SPEAKER_04: I don't do.
- 34:27SPEAKER_04: I do too.
- 34:28SPEAKER_04: Achey breaky heart.

- 35:49SPEAKER_02: Tequila.
- 35:50SPEAKER_04: Tequila.
- 35:50SPEAKER_02: Tequila is annoying?
- 35:54SPEAKER_02: I don't think so.
- 35:56SPEAKER_04: I don't think this is a great song if you're nervous about trying karaoke for the first time.
- 36:04SPEAKER_04: Any other time the song is just too annoying.
- 36:06SPEAKER_04: The whole thing is instrumental music broken up by occasional tequila! Uh yak by the coasters.
- 36:14SPEAKER_04: Yak ity yak?
- 36:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I don't find that annoying.

- 36:56SPEAKER_02: Give the dog a bone.
- 36:57SPEAKER_02: Oh wait.
- 36:58SPEAKER_04: Call me maybe, Carly Ray Jepson.
- 37:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think that's a great, I think that's a uh uh infectious pop song, but it can get annoying.
- 37:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 37:07SPEAKER_04: Happy.
- 37:08SPEAKER_04: Farrell Williams Williams.
- 37:10SPEAKER_02: Um I can see where they're coming from, but uh again, I think that's an amazing infectious pop song.
- 37:17SPEAKER_04: Agreed.
- 37:18SPEAKER_04: It's peanut butter jelly time.
- 37:20SPEAKER_04: That's annoying.
- 37:22SPEAKER_02: I don't even don't know what that is.
- 37:23SPEAKER_02: What is that?
- 37:24SPEAKER_04: I think you've heard it.
- 37:25SPEAKER_02: What's it called?
- 37:26SPEAKER_02: It's peanut butter jelly time.
- 37:27SPEAKER_02: I've never heard that song.
- 37:29SPEAKER_04: Never heard it?
- 37:29SPEAKER_04: No, it's do you know who sings it?
- 37:32SPEAKER_04: Uh Buckwheat Boys.
- 37:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I've never heard that.
- 37:36SPEAKER_02: I might have to just uh sample that.
- 37:38SPEAKER_02: I just want to see if I've ever heard this.
- 37:40SPEAKER_05: It's peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly tie, peanut butter jelly tie, wee, way, wing, bake, bake okay, go ahead.
- 37:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I've never heard this song, but I've only heard it's already annoying with this.
- 37:55SPEAKER_02: I yeah, I've only heard it for 20 seconds and I'm turning it off because it is very annoying.
- 38:02SPEAKER_02: It's incredibly annoying.
- 38:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 38:05SPEAKER_04: And that's that's pretty much the list right there.
- 38:07SPEAKER_04: Cool.
- 38:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I would say I I would say I agree with most of those in uh in theory because I think what they were going for was that it was repetitive and and yeah, yeah.
- 38:18SPEAKER_02: Um let's see.
- 38:20SPEAKER_02: Let's do the Guitar Legends Alphabet.
- 38:24SPEAKER_02: The letter of the day today is We're gonna have to read both of them today.
- 38:28SPEAKER_02: I know.
- 38:28SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna have to take my headphones off and go get your book.
- 38:31SPEAKER_02: Um, did we do I think we're on I, aren't we?
- 38:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because we did H last week.
- 38:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah, okay.
- 38:36SPEAKER_02: So the letter of the day is I.
- 38:39SPEAKER_02: And I'm reading first from the Guitar Legend Alphabet by Beck Feiner.
- 38:44SPEAKER_02: I is for Tony Iome.
- 38:47SPEAKER_02: Oh.
- 38:48SPEAKER_02: This lead guitarist of English superstars, Black Sabbath.
- 38:52SPEAKER_02: I have to tell you a story before I continue reading this.
- 38:55SPEAKER_02: So I'm taking my I'm taking my eighth grader to uh school this morning.
- 38:59SPEAKER_02: Um and he he says, Can I pick the music?
- 39:03SPEAKER_02: And I said, Um, well, no, because I don't like your music.
- 39:12SPEAKER_02: Music sucks.
- 39:13SPEAKER_02: I I I didn't say it like that, but he I I said, as long as it's I said, sure, as long as it's not depressing.
- 39:19SPEAKER_02: He says, Well, define depressing.
- 39:20SPEAKER_02: I said, everything you listen to.
- 39:24SPEAKER_02: Because he listens to all the song, all these songs that sound the same, and it's just really sad and depressing and and almost emo, but not really emo.
- 39:33SPEAKER_02: It's just it's just anyway, so but he all he's also a fan of classic rock, so I think he wanted to to uh impress me, so he said, Okay, I'll I'll pick something.
- 39:41SPEAKER_02: So he picks Journey uh anytime you any way you want it.
- 39:45SPEAKER_02: And I was like, all right, that's pretty cool.
- 39:47SPEAKER_02: And then uh he goes to something else, I can't remember what it was, and then he goes to Paranoid, uh Black Sabbath.
- 39:53SPEAKER_02: So he's interesting.
- 39:54SPEAKER_02: So he's listening to Paranoid, and I said, You know who who's singing this?
- 39:58SPEAKER_02: And he goes, um the lead singer of Black Sabbath.
- 40:04SPEAKER_02: Good one.
- 40:05SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 40:06SPEAKER_02: And I said, So you don't know who that is?
- 40:08SPEAKER_02: No.
- 40:09SPEAKER_02: I said it's Ozzie Osborne.
- 40:11SPEAKER_02: What?
- 40:15SPEAKER_02: So he didn't know Ozzie was the lead singer of Black Osbust.
- 40:18SPEAKER_02: I did not know.
- 40:18SPEAKER_02: He did not know.
- 40:19SPEAKER_02: And then I had to and then I had to give him a history lesson.
- 40:22SPEAKER_02: I said, I said, for us, I said, Ozzie Osborne, you know, crazy drink.
- 40:25SPEAKER_02: Yes, dad, I know who Ozzie Osborne is.
- 40:27SPEAKER_02: Well, you know, forgive me, but you didn't know that he was the singer of Black Sabbath, so I feel I have to clarify myself.
- 40:32SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 40:33SPEAKER_02: And so I gave him a history.
- 40:36SPEAKER_03: Shut up.
- 40:36SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 40:36SPEAKER_02: I gave him a history lesson, a little history lesson about Black Sabbath, you know, how you know he uh Ozzie was fired or left or whatever, and Ronnie James Dio came in and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 40:45SPEAKER_02: Um, so anyway, let me finish reading this.
- 40:48SPEAKER_02: Uh Eyes for Tony Iomie, lead guitarist of uh Black Sabbath.
- 40:52SPEAKER_02: He had joined vocalist Ozzie Osborne to create a new music, uh new genre of music.
- 40:57SPEAKER_02: At the age of 17, Riff Lord overcame uh overcame losing the tips of two fingers to give the blues a dark, loud makeover, and suddenly heavy metal was born.
- 41:10SPEAKER_02: And then it says legendary.
- 41:12SPEAKER_02: Would you consider Black Sabbath uh the originators of heavy metal?
- 41:19SPEAKER_02: Not really.
- 41:20SPEAKER_02: Who would you consider the originators of heavy metal?
- 41:23SPEAKER_04: Well, I think you have to look at bands like Saxon and uh You think of like the the new wave of British heavy metal?
- 41:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I think they were they were more the originators of uh heavy metal than I mean Sabbath just made it more popular and brought it to the forefront.
- 41:39SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 41:39SPEAKER_04: You know what I mean?
- 41:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 41:40SPEAKER_04: I mean, like a lot of people like say Led Zeppelin was the founder of heavy metal.
- 41:44SPEAKER_04: No, I don't agree with that.
- 41:45SPEAKER_04: No, because they were they were just the continuation of they were what kept rock alive during the disco age.
- 41:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 41:52SPEAKER_02: Uh Led Zeppelin, I think like 60% of their music is acoustic guitar.
- 41:58SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know, and it's all blues-based, so I mean yeah, they ripped everything off.
- 42:03SPEAKER_02: Anyway, yeah, I'm gonna take out my headphones for a second so I can go get your book, uh, talk amongst yourselves.
- 42:08SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 42:09SPEAKER_04: Well, I'll just I'll I'll uh feed my pet deer here.
- 42:15SPEAKER_04: How's you going, dear?
- 42:18SPEAKER_04: Oh, wait, there's boats in a harbor here?
- 42:20SPEAKER_04: Oh, that's cool.
- 42:21SPEAKER_04: The train's going by, and there's some sort of lighthouse, I think.
- 42:26SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 42:27SPEAKER_04: I'm very idyllic town, you know, on the coast of uh Norway, I think.
- 42:32SPEAKER_02: I don't even have any idea what you're talking about.
- 42:35SPEAKER_04: I'm talking about my background, sorry.
- 42:36SPEAKER_04: Oh.
- 42:37SPEAKER_04: I'm just describing what I'm seeing.
- 42:40unknown: Okay.
- 42:40SPEAKER_04: I think it's called Fleebird.
- 42:42SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 42:43SPEAKER_02: So you know how we sometimes we pair the uh guitar legend with the drum legend?
- 42:50SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 42:50SPEAKER_02: I think this one would work, actually.
- 42:52SPEAKER_02: So the guitar legend we said was Tony Iomi of Black Sabbath.
- 42:56SPEAKER_02: And the um the drum legends alphabet, again, by Beck Feiner.
- 43:01SPEAKER_02: Uh I is for Ian Pace.
- 43:04SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
- 43:05SPEAKER_02: Known for his speed, power, and technique, Pace was instrumental in elevating Deep Purple to the heavy metal pioneers they became.
- 43:13SPEAKER_02: As an inductee of both the Rock and Roll and Modern Drummers Hall of Fame, he's a certified legend.
- 43:20SPEAKER_02: And he's still going to this day with Deep Purple.
- 43:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 43:25SPEAKER_02: So if you put Tony Iome and Ian Pace together, I think he got a pretty good combination there.
- 43:30SPEAKER_02: That's magic.
- 43:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 43:31SPEAKER_04: I think so.
- 43:32SPEAKER_04: That is it'd be black magic, because it's black sabbath.
- 43:36SPEAKER_03: It'd be black purple.
- 43:38SPEAKER_03: Purple black magic.
- 43:39SPEAKER_03: Or deep black.
- 43:43SPEAKER_03: Purple purple Sabbath.
- 43:45SPEAKER_03: Deep Sabbath.
- 43:46SPEAKER_03: Ooh, there we go.
- 43:50SPEAKER_02: Alright, so that's your uh drum legend alphabet, uh letter of the day.
- 43:54SPEAKER_02: Uh was I supposed to do Was that where I do the music?
- 43:58SPEAKER_04: Was I supposed to do the music for that?

- 47:13SPEAKER_02: No, he says it does.
- 47:16SPEAKER_03: Your head is significantly bigger, but yes.

- 47:55SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 47:57SPEAKER_02: Alright, I have an album, and I don't know.
- 48:00SPEAKER_02: We may have done this artist before.
- 48:03SPEAKER_02: Uh, but I'm not sure I'm not sure we've done this album, but you'll you'll have to let me know if if that's the case.
- 48:11SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 48:12SPEAKER_02: So let the let the guessing begin.
- 48:16SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 48:17SPEAKER_04: Is it a band or is it a solo guy?
- 48:19SPEAKER_02: It is a solo artist.
- 48:21SPEAKER_04: Solo artist.
- 48:22SPEAKER_04: Guy or girl?
- 48:23SPEAKER_02: It's a guy.
- 48:24SPEAKER_04: It's a guy.
- 48:25unknown: Yeah.
- 48:26SPEAKER_04: Um what genre?
- 48:29SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna say blues.
- 48:31SPEAKER_02: Blues rock.
- 48:32SPEAKER_02: Blues rock?
- 48:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think so.
- 48:35SPEAKER_04: You think so?
- 48:36SPEAKER_02: Well, I would say blues, but I'm gonna say blues rock, and then these days it's more soul.
- 48:48SPEAKER_02: So he's still around.
- 48:50SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 48:51SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 48:52SPEAKER_04: Uh height of popularity.
- 48:55SPEAKER_02: I would say the height of popularity was probably the 90s when he first came out.
- 49:00SPEAKER_02: Is it Kenny Wayne Shepard?
- 49:02SPEAKER_02: No, but you're very close.
- 49:04SPEAKER_02: Is it Johnny Lang?
- 49:05SPEAKER_03: It is Johnny Lang!
- 49:09SPEAKER_02: Have we done have we done this album before?
- 49:13SPEAKER_02: No.
- 49:14SPEAKER_02: Okay, good.
- 49:15SPEAKER_04: I'm not even sure we did Johnny Lang before.
- 49:17SPEAKER_04: We haven't done Johnny Lang before.
- 49:18SPEAKER_04: Um I don't recall, but it might have been early like season one, maybe.
- 49:22SPEAKER_04: Okay, well let's let's just climb in the Wall of Tunes.
- 49:25SPEAKER_02: Let's just remind everybody uh of who Johnny Lang is because he was like 16, I think.
- 49:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he was young.
- 49:35SPEAKER_02: When he came out with this song, which is the title of his debut album in '97, which is Lie to Me.
- 49:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 49:43SPEAKER_02: Great song, by the way.
- 49:44SPEAKER_02: It's a great song, and it's a great album.
- 49:46SPEAKER_02: The whole album is just amazing.
- 49:48SPEAKER_02: But he came out right about this time as Kenny Wayne Shepherd.
- 49:52SPEAKER_02: Just listen to him sing for a second.
- 49:55SPEAKER_02: He does not sound like a 16-year-old kid.
- 49:57SPEAKER_04: No, no, I think that's what everybody fooled.
- 50:00SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 50:01SPEAKER_02: Um, so the album that I chose, that's just to remind everybody who Johnny Lang is.
- 50:06SPEAKER_02: The album that I chose was uh called Long Time Comin'.
- 50:11SPEAKER_02: Have you heard this album?
- 50:12SPEAKER_02: You must have.
- 50:14SPEAKER_02: Probably at some point.
- 50:16SPEAKER_02: It's been a while.
- 50:17SPEAKER_02: Um I remember uh he came out the the first single from this album was called Red Light.
- 50:26SPEAKER_02: Um and it goes like this.
- 50:32SPEAKER_02: I know you're at a disadvantage because you can't hear it, but this was more a um It's still bluesy, right?
- 50:46SPEAKER_02: Um but it's wasn't it more like soulful though?
- 50:50SPEAKER_02: It was it was more soulful, uh but it was also it would it was also more um I think it was kind of pieced together.
- 50:59SPEAKER_02: Like uh there was I'm not saying that there weren't real people playing the instruments, but they kind of it was very uh computer put together.
- 51:08SPEAKER_02: So it was more processed, processed, or yeah, something.
- 51:12SPEAKER_02: But that doesn't take away that it's it's a great album.
- 51:15SPEAKER_02: I mean it's and I have to say that one time in a former band that I was in, uh, we played Trump Marina in Atlantic City.
- 51:33SPEAKER_02: We played it there a few times actually.
- 51:35SPEAKER_02: Uh and while we were there, Johnny Lang uh was about to put on a concert, so we decided that we were gonna right there, right there in the in Trump Plaza, um uh we were going to uh go see Johnny Lang as a band.
- 51:51SPEAKER_02: So we did, and it was around the time of this album, and I had heard that song Red Light, which I really liked.
- 51:57SPEAKER_02: Um, but there was one song, and I'll play a little bit of it now.
- 52:00SPEAKER_02: You you're not gonna be able to hear it, but this song, and I think I've told this story before.
- 52:06SPEAKER_02: This is a song called Goodbye Letter.
- 52:09SPEAKER_02: And it started just like this, but the the concert hall was pitch black, and the spotlight was on Johnny Lang.
- 52:17SPEAKER_05: So just get it on Twitter.
- 52:20SPEAKER_02: So it's it's just him and his guitar, and he's playing this really kind of.
- 52:24SPEAKER_02: I don't have uh I'm only explaining this, Doug, because you can't hear it right now.
- 52:28SPEAKER_02: So he's just playing guitar and he's singing.
- 52:31SPEAKER_02: And it's pitch black, except for the spotlight on Johnny Lang.
- 52:35SPEAKER_02: And it slowly starts to build.
- 52:36SPEAKER_02: You can hear a little bit of organ come in, uh, but in only in the background.
- 52:43SPEAKER_02: And then he sings another verse.
- 52:48SPEAKER_02: And you know, at this point, he's already played Still Raining.
- 52:52SPEAKER_02: He's played Lie to Me already.
- 52:56SPEAKER_02: And this is from his, at the time, new album.
- 53:00SPEAKER_02: And so right here, the lights come up and it's flashing like and then the full band is is lit up, and it's just it was one of the most powerful moments at a concert I've ever seen.
- 53:21SPEAKER_02: It was just really, really well done.
- 53:23SPEAKER_02: And this is a great song too.
- 53:24SPEAKER_02: Goodbye letter.
- 53:29SPEAKER_02: And when I say this song is or this uh album is produced, I think you'll know what I mean if I there's drum machines, right?
- 53:41SPEAKER_02: Um or or samples, you know, or but it's very, very soulful.
- 53:49SPEAKER_02: Um except for except for the last track, which is the title track, Long Time Comin, which is him sitting down with an acoustic guitar in a studio, and you can actually hear him moving and sitting down in front of the microphone, and he starts playing and you can hear the microphone hiss.
- 54:11SPEAKER_02: And he starts playing the acoustic guitar and singing Long Time Coming.
- 54:15SPEAKER_02: He's a blues man at heart.
- 54:17SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 54:21SPEAKER_02: And I just think it's one of his best albums.
- 54:25SPEAKER_02: Um I really, really do.
- 54:27SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's got Lie to Me, Wander This World, uh Long Time Comin'.
- 54:33SPEAKER_02: Um after this album, he took a little break, and then he came back with a um for lack of a better term, a faith-based sound, faith-based um album.
- 54:51SPEAKER_02: Uh it was it was it was it was not necessarily gospel sounding, um but it was very again, even more produced than this album was.
- 55:03SPEAKER_02: Drum machines and and and whatnot.
- 55:06SPEAKER_02: Uh I'm trying to see if I can get a discography here.
- 55:10SPEAKER_02: Yes, I can.
- 55:12SPEAKER_02: Because uh yes, it was No, I'm lying to you.
- 55:17SPEAKER_02: There's a song there's an album called uh No, it was, yeah, there's an album in 2006 called Turn Around, which hit number 35 on the Billboard 200, but it hit number one on the Billboard Christian albums.
- 55:33SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 55:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 55:34SPEAKER_02: And then he did uh a live album, and then he did another um uh in 2013 he did one called Fight for My Soul, which hit number fifty on the Billboard 200, but number one on the Billboard Blues albums, and number two on the Billboard Christian albums.
- 55:51SPEAKER_02: So he's he's taken a decidedly faith-based turn, uh, but it's still very soulful and bluesy, and just I mean, I can't say enough about the guy.
- 56:04SPEAKER_02: I I love his stuff.
- 56:05SPEAKER_02: Um I love i and he started in '95 with a with a they called him Kid Johnny Lang and the Big Bang with an album called Smokin'.
- 56:16SPEAKER_02: But it wasn't until 97 when he released Lie to Me that hit only number 44, actually, on the Billboard 200.
- 56:22SPEAKER_02: But that song was huge.
- 56:24SPEAKER_02: That uh Lie to Me song.
- 56:27SPEAKER_02: And he's from North Dakota.
- 56:29SPEAKER_02: Uh let's see.
