Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: Hi, this is Gil from Triumph, and you're
- 0:02SPEAKER_02: watching CMS-TV.
- 0:18SPEAKER_01: From the sound of white noise that is Anthrax featuring the great John Bush
- 0:24SPEAKER_01: with only Heard Accept in there with Bulletproof for the Wretch.
- 0:28SPEAKER_01: Peter Criss in there with Hard Rock Knockers.
- 0:33SPEAKER_01: Going out by request from Demon to Shelly Rocks for her birthday.
- 0:37SPEAKER_01: Entranced in there with Entrance for King Trump.
- 0:41SPEAKER_01: Docking with Too High to Fly from John Phillips to Shelly Rocks.
- 0:47SPEAKER_01: There it is.
- 0:48SPEAKER_01: There you are.
- 0:49SPEAKER_01: So that Anthrax tune always gets me pumped.
- 0:54SPEAKER_02: Dude, the new record is really good.
- 0:56SPEAKER_02: I finally got it.
- 0:59SPEAKER_02: Only to get stood up by Frank Bellow.
- 1:02SPEAKER_02: As we were saying earlier, they're 75%.
- 1:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:06SPEAKER_02: But the record's pretty damn solid.
- 1:08SPEAKER_02: If you like the last, I don't think it's as good as the last two.
- 1:12SPEAKER_02: Like I thought For All Kings and the one before it were both really good.
- 1:17SPEAKER_02: But worship music.
- 1:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:21SPEAKER_02: I thought those are like phenomenal.
- 1:24SPEAKER_02: This one is not phenomenal, but it doesn't suck on any level either.
- 1:28SPEAKER_02: It's like a solid eight out of 10.
- 1:30SPEAKER_02: I think most people like it.
- 1:32SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:33SPEAKER_02: It's a little more old school than I thought they would be, but I like it.
- 1:37SPEAKER_02: It's good.
- 1:38SPEAKER_02: It's pretty strong.
- 1:39SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:40SPEAKER_02: I think it's out next week, if I'm not mistaken.
- 1:43SPEAKER_02: So get it.
- 1:46SPEAKER_01: New Anthrax after 10 years.
- 1:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:49SPEAKER_02: It's worth getting.
- 1:51SPEAKER_02: If you've liked the last two with Joey, you will like this record.
- 1:54SPEAKER_02: I'm very, very comfortable saying that.
- 1:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's a guy who sings in a Journey tribute band.
- 2:03SPEAKER_02: That is true, yeah.
- 2:05SPEAKER_01: It sounds nothing like Journey.
- 2:06SPEAKER_02: That's right.
- 2:07SPEAKER_02: It's a guy we hooked up with, Jack Frost, and they started a band at one point.
- 2:12SPEAKER_02: That's true.
- 2:13SPEAKER_01: And they called in here to tell us.
- 2:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 2:16SPEAKER_02: And they were both
- 2:16SPEAKER_01: hammered.
- 2:19SPEAKER_01: So funny.
- 2:20SPEAKER_02: We've had a lot of history in this dumb show, haven't we?
- 2:23SPEAKER_01: It is.
- 2:24SPEAKER_01: It is.
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: Well, since we're talking about music, well, let's get to the elephant in the room.
- 2:31SPEAKER_01: Twisted skidster?
- 2:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 2:37SPEAKER_02: Well, it happened.
- 2:40SPEAKER_02: I don't know what to make of it.
- 2:42SPEAKER_02: I watched...
- 2:44SPEAKER_02: I don't know, maybe 30 minutes of it today.
- 2:46SPEAKER_02: I don't care enough to watch the whole thing.
- 2:49SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 2:51SPEAKER_02: I just don't.
- 2:52SPEAKER_02: You know, it is what it is.
- 2:56SPEAKER_02: I mean, I don't feel like it's Twisted Sister at all.
- 3:01SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, that's the question is, what would make it Twisted Sister?
- 3:08SPEAKER_01: Not Sebastian.
- 3:09SPEAKER_01: It's just Sebastian singing with two of the guys from Twisted Sister.
- 3:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:15SPEAKER_02: And they do skid row covers at the end as well.
- 3:19SPEAKER_01: So it's just, it's just a bunch of dudes jamming.
- 3:23SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 3:24SPEAKER_01: It's a couple of dudes from Twisted Sister with Sebastian Bach singing.
- 3:28SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:29SPEAKER_02: Is it, is it awful?
- 3:31SPEAKER_02: No, I don't think so.
- 3:32SPEAKER_02: I think people that like this musical like it, but it's not Twisted Sister.
- 3:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:37SPEAKER_02: It's, it's not, it's not great.
- 3:41SPEAKER_02: I see people in here saying it sucked, it sucks moose balls, blah, blah, blah.
- 3:45SPEAKER_02: I see y'all.
- 3:46SPEAKER_02: I think y'all just want to hate it,
- 3:48SPEAKER_02: and that's why you're hating it,
- 3:50SPEAKER_02: because if you like Sebastian,
- 3:53SPEAKER_02: if you like Twisted Sister, you're going to get pretty much what you expect.
- 3:58SPEAKER_02: Nothing additional.
- 3:59SPEAKER_02: There's nothing in this that makes you sit there and go,
- 4:02SPEAKER_02: whoa, this is what they've been missing.
- 4:06SPEAKER_02: There's none of that.
- 4:08SPEAKER_02: It's just a show.
- 4:11SPEAKER_02: But we'll play some.
- 4:12SPEAKER_02: Maybe you think different.
- 4:13SPEAKER_02: You haven't seen it?
- 4:14SPEAKER_01: No, I have not.
- 4:15SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 4:16SPEAKER_02: Well, let's get to it.
- 4:18SPEAKER_02: Here we are.
- 4:18SPEAKER_02: This is the full set.
- 4:19SPEAKER_02: I'm just going to pop around.
- 4:20SPEAKER_02: I don't even have time stamps or anything.
- 4:22SPEAKER_02: I'm just going to play some, and then we'll skip around.
- 4:25SPEAKER_02: So let's get to this.
- 4:28SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 4:29SPEAKER_02: So here they come onto the stage.
- 4:32SPEAKER_00: All right, New Jersey!
- 4:46SPEAKER_01: No, it's not.
- 4:47SPEAKER_01: No, Sebastian Bach singing Twisted Sister song.
- 4:51SPEAKER_02: That guy right there is not a member of Twisted Sister.
- 4:55SPEAKER_02: At least in my head, maybe he is now.
- 4:56SPEAKER_02: Who knows?
- 4:57SPEAKER_02: I mean, that could be too.
- 4:59SPEAKER_02: These might be his audition shows.
- 5:02SPEAKER_02: Wouldn't that be awful if they try and record a record without D?
- 5:08SPEAKER_02: I don't think anybody would care with D, but without D, no one's going to give a fuck.
- 5:14SPEAKER_02: But Skid Row won't take him.
- 5:16SPEAKER_02: Maybe Twisted Sister will take him.
- 5:18SPEAKER_02: Who knows?
- 5:20SPEAKER_02: All right, here we go.
- 6:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 6:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 7:22SPEAKER_02: Well, this is Twisted Sister without the makeup.
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I just don't know what to make of it, aside from the banner.
- 7:32SPEAKER_01: I mean...
- 7:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm with you.
- 7:35SPEAKER_02: And Sebastian doesn't sound like D, he sounds like himself, which is fine.
- 7:41SPEAKER_02: The only thing that I will give Sebastian here, and I'm not trying to even rag on him, really.
- 7:47SPEAKER_02: I mean, whatever, Ben.
- 7:48SPEAKER_02: He got offered the gig.
- 7:49SPEAKER_02: He's one of these, he's like Randy.
- 7:51SPEAKER_02: He's one of these guys that's over, over excited about every goddamn thing.
- 7:55SPEAKER_02: So for him,
- 7:56SPEAKER_02: this is like being in the Beatles,
- 7:58SPEAKER_02: I'm sure, you know, for, for Sebastian, don't you think?
- 8:03SPEAKER_02: And, and,
- 8:04SPEAKER_02: and he's like D he's one of these guys that's overly excited on stage to the point
- 8:09SPEAKER_02: of almost being ridiculous.
- 8:12SPEAKER_02: For me, he's ridiculous.
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: D is not quite as ridiculous.
- 8:17SPEAKER_02: Even with all the makeup and all the stupidness.
- 8:20SPEAKER_02: Sebastian with all the hair flipping and stuff.
- 8:22SPEAKER_02: It's like, dude, you're fucking 60.
- 8:24SPEAKER_02: You look like a tard.
- 8:25SPEAKER_02: Stop it.
- 8:27SPEAKER_02: But he sounds okay.
- 8:29SPEAKER_02: No, he sounds.
- 8:30SPEAKER_02: He sounds like Sebastian Bach.
- 8:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 8:33SPEAKER_02: And I'll just skip ahead.
- 8:35SPEAKER_02: I'll just jump into the middle anywhere.
- 8:38SPEAKER_02: All right, here we go.
- 8:39SPEAKER_02: Here's some more.
- 8:44Here we go.
- 8:49SPEAKER_01: Who's this guy?
- 8:50SPEAKER_01: I think that's little Steven's son.
- 8:55SPEAKER_01: Tiny Steven.
- 8:59SPEAKER_02: Who is he?
- 8:59SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 9:02SPEAKER_02: Is he an original?
- 9:03SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 9:04SPEAKER_02: That's kind of what I have a problem with.
- 9:07SPEAKER_01: He's not an original.
- 9:08SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's only two guys.
- 9:10SPEAKER_01: Who are the original guys?
- 9:12SPEAKER_02: It's the guitar guy, French, J.J. French.
- 9:16SPEAKER_01: Yeah, J.J. French and the other guitar guy.
- 9:20SPEAKER_02: Is that Mendoza or is he long gone?
- 9:22SPEAKER_02: I don't even know.
- 9:23SPEAKER_02: I don't know shit about Twisted Sister, really.
- 9:26SPEAKER_02: I like him, but I can't name.
- 9:28SPEAKER_02: I can name two guys, J.J. French and D. Snyder.
- 9:33SPEAKER_02: And A.J.
- 9:33SPEAKER_02: Pirro, but I think he's dead, right?
- 9:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's dead.
- 9:36SPEAKER_01: He was the drummer.
- 9:37SPEAKER_02: Then I guess he's not here.
- 9:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know who this guy is.
- 9:42SPEAKER_02: He said little Steven's son.

- 11:01SPEAKER_02: Aside from the price of the ticket, this is a tribute band.
- 11:05SPEAKER_02: It is.
- 11:08SPEAKER_02: You can't replace Dee Snider.
- 11:09SPEAKER_02: This is like replacing Eddie Van Halen in Van Halen.
- 11:13SPEAKER_02: You can't do it.
- 11:15SPEAKER_02: You cannot do it.
- 11:18SPEAKER_02: Nobody's ever going to accept this.
- 11:19SPEAKER_02: I mean, this is in New Jersey, which they're all from, right?
- 11:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they're from the New York, New Jersey area.
- 11:28SPEAKER_02: So it's a hometown crowd.
- 11:30SPEAKER_01: For the most part, yeah.
- 11:31SPEAKER_02: You take this to the Midwest, it ain't selling 500 tickets.
- 11:35SPEAKER_02: Do you think it would?
- 11:36SPEAKER_01: No.
- 11:37SPEAKER_02: Or the West Coast?
- 11:39SPEAKER_02: No.
- 11:40SPEAKER_02: No way.
- 11:41SPEAKER_02: You see this in LA?
- 11:42SPEAKER_02: Mm-mm.
- 11:43SPEAKER_02: The half-sold whiskey.
- 11:46SPEAKER_02: You think it would sell more than half at the whiskey?
- 11:48SPEAKER_01: Well, the whiskey isn't even all that big.
- 11:50SPEAKER_01: I think the whiskey holds like 500 people at the most.
- 11:54SPEAKER_02: You think it sells out at the whiskey?
- 11:56SPEAKER_02: Nah.
- 11:56SPEAKER_02: You think it sells almost?
- 11:59SPEAKER_02: 400?
- 12:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah, maybe.
- 12:03SPEAKER_02: Who knows?
- 12:03SPEAKER_02: Depends on the night.
- 12:04SPEAKER_02: If it's a Saturday, yes.
- 12:06SPEAKER_02: If it's a Tuesday, no.
- 12:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm just like, who's excited enough to drop whatever these tickets cost?
- 12:15SPEAKER_02: And I have no idea what these tickets cost, but,
- 12:19SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 12:19SPEAKER_02: let's say it's $75,
- 12:22SPEAKER_02: which is probably cheap, but, you know, if this is $75, who's excited to go see it?
- 12:29SPEAKER_02: Would you go see it?
- 12:30SPEAKER_02: No.
- 12:32SPEAKER_02: If it was playing three minutes from your house for $75.
- 12:36SPEAKER_01: I don't think so.
- 12:40SPEAKER_01: If it was $50.
- 12:41SPEAKER_01: I don't want to go hear Sebastian singing Twisted Sister songs.
- 12:46SPEAKER_01: I mean, I just have zero interest in that.
- 12:53SPEAKER_02: All right, let's skip ahead.
- 12:54SPEAKER_02: I'll just jump to the 30-minute mark.
- 12:56SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
- 13:34SPEAKER_02: I'm going to give him a little bit of credit here.
- 13:36SPEAKER_02: Not much, but a little.
- 13:38SPEAKER_02: And this is all on Sebastian, who I love to tear down because he's such a fucking goob.
- 13:43SPEAKER_02: But I'll give him this.
- 13:46SPEAKER_02: I appreciate the fact that he's just doing what he does instead of trying
- 13:52SPEAKER_02: to mimic D. If he was trying to do an impression of D, this would be so much worse.
- 14:01SPEAKER_01: Don't you think?
- 14:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because you're not...
- 14:04SPEAKER_01: The thing is that obviously everybody knows who Sebastian Bach is.
- 14:10SPEAKER_01: He's iconic.
- 14:12SPEAKER_01: He's iconic.
- 14:13SPEAKER_01: So he can't be anything but.
- 14:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but he could have tried.
- 14:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I would agree with you.
- 14:22SPEAKER_01: That'd be ridiculous.
- 14:23SPEAKER_02: It would just sound awful.
- 14:25SPEAKER_02: I'll give him this.
- 14:27SPEAKER_02: It's fine.
- 14:28SPEAKER_02: You know,
- 14:28SPEAKER_02: I've been jokingly calling this Twisted Skidster,
- 14:31SPEAKER_02: you know, just because that sort of fits.
- 14:34SPEAKER_02: But that's what this really is.
- 14:36SPEAKER_02: It's Skid Row doing Twisted Sister, basically.
- 14:41SPEAKER_02: It's nothing different than that.
- 14:43SPEAKER_02: And next thing you know,
- 14:46SPEAKER_02: Eric Gronwall will be on the stage with him for three shows and then he'll quit.
- 14:50SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 14:52SPEAKER_02: I'm just going to skip ahead 45 minutes.
- 14:54SPEAKER_02: Here's halfway through the set.
- 16:31SPEAKER_02: Same thought.
- 16:34SPEAKER_02: Just nothing.
- 16:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 16:36SPEAKER_01: It's just Sebastian singing Twisted Sister song.
- 16:41SPEAKER_02: Twisted Sister.
- 16:44SPEAKER_02: Jump ahead.
- 16:45SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
- 17:40SPEAKER_02: Did they just only have shirts that were one size too small for him or what?
- 17:44SPEAKER_02: You're going to tell me all these months of rehearsal they couldn't get him
- 17:49SPEAKER_02: a proper fitting shirt?
- 17:53SPEAKER_02: Come on, dude.
- 17:54SPEAKER_02: Do better.
- 17:55SPEAKER_02: Why are you wearing a Twisted Sister shirt?
- 17:59SPEAKER_02: Isn't that like the worst?
- 18:02SPEAKER_02: Isn't that like the worst thing bands can do?
- 18:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah, wearing your own shirt.
- 18:05SPEAKER_01: Wear their own shit.
- 18:08SPEAKER_02: You know.
- 18:10SPEAKER_01: The other guys aren't wearing Twisted Sister shirts.
- 18:13SPEAKER_02: No, none of them.
- 18:15SPEAKER_02: They all look like a band, and he looks like the guy that's staggered up here, the fan.
- 18:19SPEAKER_02: He literally looks like a fan.
- 18:22SPEAKER_02: Sounds really, really good.
- 18:24SPEAKER_02: I think he sounds really good for him.
- 18:27SPEAKER_02: You know, he does sound good.
- 18:30SPEAKER_02: I don't know about the vest with the t-shirt, though.
- 18:33SPEAKER_02: That's kind of a.
- 18:34SPEAKER_01: Gotta cover up his belly.
- 18:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but he's not.
- 18:37SPEAKER_02: Look at that.
- 18:43SPEAKER_02: Move forward.
- 19:43That's great.
- 19:44SPEAKER_02: We got to ask, I think Florentine was at this show.
- 19:47SPEAKER_02: We got to ask him how it went.
- 19:49SPEAKER_02: If you couldn't remember, cause you know, I won't remember, but if you remember that.
- 19:53SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 19:54SPEAKER_02: Ask him.
- 19:55SPEAKER_02: Let's jump ahead here.
- 19:56SPEAKER_02: We're almost done.
- 19:58SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
- 20:00Put some
- 20:06mics on new
- 20:13SPEAKER_00: chairs, Nate!
- 20:53SPEAKER_02: How is this not insulting to the Twisted Sister people?
- 20:55SPEAKER_01: He's doing his own music at the end.
- 20:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 20:59SPEAKER_01: Why?
- 20:59SPEAKER_01: You mean there isn't enough Twisted Sister songs to fill out a 90-minute show?
- 21:04SPEAKER_02: I'm even okay with them doing that to acknowledge that he's there or whatever.
- 21:08SPEAKER_02: But you do that in the middle.
- 21:10SPEAKER_02: Or you just do one at the end, maybe.
- 21:13SPEAKER_02: See, I wouldn't even do that.
- 21:14SPEAKER_02: It's a Twisted Sister show.
- 21:17SPEAKER_02: I understand.
- 21:17SPEAKER_02: I would mix it in the middle somewhere.
- 21:21SPEAKER_02: If you're going to do I Remember You, you do it back to back with the price or something.
- 21:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I wouldn't do it at all if it's a Twisted Sister show.
- 21:30SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't either, but somehow I think Sebastian, that's probably his terms.
- 21:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but he...
- 21:37SPEAKER_02: The thing I don't get is why is he doing it at the... Why are they doing it at the end?
- 21:41SPEAKER_01: They're doing almost a whole Skid Row set.
- 21:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, they only do two, but it's long and...
- 21:48SPEAKER_02: Sing song and sing along and Jesus.
- 21:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know what they're doing here.
- 21:56SPEAKER_02: It's a weird thing.
- 21:58SPEAKER_02: It's bizarre.
- 21:59SPEAKER_02: All right, here we go.
- 22:00SPEAKER_02: Last one.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: You told me.
- 23:22SPEAKER_02: If I didn't know better,
- 23:23SPEAKER_02: my attitude would be, who are these roadies playing with Sebastian Bach?
- 23:28SPEAKER_02: Nothing screams Twisted Sister other than the backdrop.
- 23:32SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 23:32SPEAKER_02: Nothing.
- 23:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 23:37SPEAKER_02: Anyway, that's a fair taste.
- 23:41SPEAKER_02: Does it last past these five shows or whatever it is?
- 23:44SPEAKER_01: No.
- 23:45SPEAKER_01: And you got to wonder if, again, they're obligated to play them.
- 23:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 23:50SPEAKER_02: And that could very well...
- 23:52SPEAKER_02: There's got to be a reason they're doing this.
- 23:56SPEAKER_02: It can't be because they got to continue on the band.
- 23:59SPEAKER_02: J.J. French is in his 70s, isn't he?
- 24:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they've been around since the 70s.
- 24:06SPEAKER_02: That's what I mean.
- 24:07SPEAKER_02: So 50 years, so he's at least 70, 75 years old.
- 24:12SPEAKER_02: Whoever this other guy is over here, he's got to be the same age.
- 24:18SPEAKER_02: Then you got...
- 24:19SPEAKER_02: Little Stevens kid.
- 24:20SPEAKER_02: And I don't know this drummer.
- 24:23SPEAKER_02: Sebastian said, what is mid six?
- 24:25SPEAKER_02: I'll give it to Sebastian though.
- 24:26SPEAKER_02: He does sound good.
- 24:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 24:28SPEAKER_01: I think Sebastian's 59.
- 24:30SPEAKER_01: Is he?
- 24:31SPEAKER_02: Is that it?
- 24:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 24:32SPEAKER_01: I think he's 59.
- 24:34SPEAKER_02: I'll also give him,
- 24:35SPEAKER_02: he looks like he's in better shape than he's been in the last year or two as well.
- 24:40SPEAKER_01: He's definitely dropped a couple of pounds.
- 24:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 24:43SPEAKER_02: He looks a lot, a lot better and he sounds okay.
- 24:45SPEAKER_02: You know,
- 24:46SPEAKER_02: he's still,
- 24:47SPEAKER_02: He can't hit those high notes anymore,
- 24:48SPEAKER_02: but those fucking notes were inhuman in the first place.
- 24:51SPEAKER_02: So expecting him to be doing those 40 years down the road is probably crazy talk, right?
- 25:00SPEAKER_02: So yeah, there it is.
- 25:01SPEAKER_02: Twisted Sister.
- 25:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's actually 58.
- 25:07SPEAKER_01: He's my age?
- 25:08SPEAKER_01: Yeah, 58.
- 25:09SPEAKER_02: Damn, no kidding.
- 25:10SPEAKER_01: He was born April 3rd of 1968.
- 25:12SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 25:14SPEAKER_01: So he's a few months older than me.
- 25:17SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
- 25:18SPEAKER_02: All right, well, there it is.
- 25:20SPEAKER_02: Twisted Skidster.
- 25:23SPEAKER_02: Congrats on that.
- 25:28SPEAKER_02: So you're not going when it comes to the Gary Casino or whatever?
- 25:34SPEAKER_01: 72 bucks.
- 25:35SPEAKER_02: That's a steal.
- 25:37SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 25:39SPEAKER_01: They are playing here October 18th.
- 25:42SPEAKER_02: At the Arcata?
- 25:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 25:43SPEAKER_01: No, at the casino.
- 25:45SPEAKER_02: Oh, I was kidding.
- 25:47SPEAKER_01: No, they're at the Hard Rock Casino in Gary.
- 25:51SPEAKER_01: Come on, you're going.
- 25:53SPEAKER_01: 72 bucks.
- 25:54SPEAKER_02: What if I can get you in for free?
- 25:55SPEAKER_02: Would you go?
- 25:57SPEAKER_01: For free?
- 25:57SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
- 25:58SPEAKER_01: I'll consider it.
- 25:59SPEAKER_02: Well, I'm asking because I work a lot with this policy.
- 26:03SPEAKER_02: It's a Sunday, though.
- 26:03SPEAKER_01: I don't think I'd go.
- 26:06SPEAKER_02: You tell me and I'll make that happen because I work pretty closely with this publicist.
- 26:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm not interested.
- 26:13SPEAKER_02: It's
- 26:14SPEAKER_01: a Sunday night.
- 26:15SPEAKER_01: So it went from maybe to now.
- 26:18SPEAKER_01: Well, if it was like a Friday, I would go.
- 26:21SPEAKER_01: But it's Sunday night.
- 26:24SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I get it.
- 26:26SPEAKER_02: Who wants to be tired from seeing this shit?
- 26:31SPEAKER_02: The only thing I would just...
- 26:33SPEAKER_02: Offer to you is that it's probably a 1030 curfew at a casino, right?
- 26:38SPEAKER_02: Hard to say.
- 26:39SPEAKER_02: On a Sunday?
- 26:39SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 26:40SPEAKER_01: Almost certainly.
- 26:42SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 26:42SPEAKER_01: Whatever it is, but yeah, Sunday night at Gary at the Hard Rock Casino.
- 26:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 26:51SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't go, even if it was free.
- 26:54SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to this.
- 26:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah, fuck that.
- 26:57SPEAKER_02: I don't go see Sebastian that I could go and see for free.
- 27:01SPEAKER_02: I've been able to see Sebastian for free for the last 20 years.
- 27:05SPEAKER_02: I haven't gone once.
- 27:07SPEAKER_02: Last time I went, look, it's been so long since I've seen Sebastian Bach perform.
- 27:11SPEAKER_02: The last time I saw him perform was with you.
- 27:14SPEAKER_02: I think you still lived here at the time, didn't you?
- 27:18SPEAKER_02: When we met up with Bam Bam McConnell,
- 27:21SPEAKER_02: whose bones have disintegrated and everything at this point.
- 27:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
- 27:26SPEAKER_01: The last time I saw Sebastian was, um, he was at the Farm Rock and that was back in 2015.
- 27:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 27:37SPEAKER_01: 2015.
- 27:38SPEAKER_02: But that was with like docking or something, right?
- 27:40SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 27:40SPEAKER_01: It was, it was the, I didn't go specifically for that.
- 27:43SPEAKER_02: When's the last time you went to see him perform?
- 27:46SPEAKER_01: Probably when I was with you.
- 27:49SPEAKER_01: That's got to be 25 years ago, right?
- 27:51SPEAKER_01: Yeah, if you put it in that context.
- 27:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 27:55SPEAKER_01: But I saw him at Farm Rock.
- 27:58SPEAKER_02: When is the last time, if ever, you saw Twisted Sister?
- 28:05SPEAKER_01: Or Dee?
- 28:05SPEAKER_02: Or Dee?
- 28:06SPEAKER_01: Oh, I saw Dee.
- 28:08SPEAKER_01: He...
- 28:09SPEAKER_01: Went to see Dee, not playing with someone else.
- 28:12SPEAKER_01: Oh, I did not go specifically to see Dee.
- 28:16SPEAKER_02: Because I saw Twisted.
- 28:19SPEAKER_01: Because Dokken played with D like four years ago, I think.
- 28:24SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 28:24SPEAKER_01: Yeah, four years ago.
- 28:26SPEAKER_01: Down in, where was it?
- 28:28SPEAKER_01: It was down in Southern Illinois.
- 28:30SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 28:33SPEAKER_02: Would you go see this with D at the Gary Casino for $72?
- 28:41SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 28:41SPEAKER_01: I didn't see him the last time they went around, so I don't think I'd see him this time either.
- 28:45SPEAKER_02: I'm kind of with you on that.
- 28:46SPEAKER_02: I think I'm done with Twisted Sister.
- 28:50SPEAKER_02: In any form.
- 28:51SPEAKER_02: And I'm certainly not overly overwhelmed with Twisted Skidster, so.
- 28:57SPEAKER_02: So yeah, nah.
- 29:00SPEAKER_02: Well, good luck to them.
- 29:02SPEAKER_02: I hope they do well.
- 29:05SPEAKER_02: Alright, let's move on to David Lee Roth.
- 29:10SPEAKER_02: I can't get enough of David Lee Roth.
- 29:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's just so bizarre.
- 29:16SPEAKER_02: He's a total goof, and I love him for it.
- 29:19SPEAKER_02: I I hate to be that blunt, but I love him for it.
- 29:24SPEAKER_02: And he's back.
- 29:26SPEAKER_02: I honestly thought when he canceled those dates, that was going to be it for him.
- 29:32SPEAKER_01: I thought all he had was Sturgis.
- 29:34SPEAKER_02: And he did play that, I believe.
- 29:36SPEAKER_02: I believe they played it.
- 29:39SPEAKER_02: But then I thought that was going to be it.
- 29:41SPEAKER_02: Well, no.
- 29:44SPEAKER_02: Now, he's taken to the internet.
- 29:48SPEAKER_02: And I'm not going to lie,
- 29:49SPEAKER_02: what I'm about to play you is what I think David Lee Roth should be doing.
- 29:54SPEAKER_02: I honestly, this is not good.
- 29:56SPEAKER_02: I'm going to, I'll admit it right up front.
- 29:59SPEAKER_02: This man should never, ever, never, never, ever be allowed to play a guitar.
- 30:07SPEAKER_02: He is awful at guitar.
- 30:10SPEAKER_01: I do mean terrible.
- 30:11SPEAKER_01: Well, we saw him plinking around trying to play ice cream, man.
- 30:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 30:16SPEAKER_02: Well, this is even worse.

- 31:25SPEAKER_02: He's trying to play jump acoustically.
- 31:30SPEAKER_02: Now, I'm going to tell you, I'll say it again.
- 31:33SPEAKER_02: I think this is what DLR should do.
- 31:37SPEAKER_02: I really think this is what he should be doing these days.
- 31:39SPEAKER_02: Same with Don.
- 31:40SPEAKER_02: I think this is what Don should be doing.
- 31:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we actually had that discussion when I was with him last weekend.
- 31:46SPEAKER_02: And?
- 31:47SPEAKER_02: Or you don't want
- 31:49SPEAKER_01: to say?
- 31:49SPEAKER_01: No, he said if he could get John Levin to do the acoustic thing with him,
- 31:54SPEAKER_01: he would like to do that.
- 31:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, that would be perfect.
- 31:57SPEAKER_02: Because then he could sing in a key that he could sing in, and that would be good.
- 32:00SPEAKER_02: And it's the same with Roth.
- 32:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and he could tell his stories.
- 32:04SPEAKER_01: Stories.
- 32:04SPEAKER_01: You know, I said, you know, you need to really...
- 32:08SPEAKER_01: Consider doing the storytellers type thing.
- 32:16SPEAKER_01: And he mentioned when he opened for Queensryche back in 2008, I believe it was.
- 32:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I remember that.
- 32:24SPEAKER_01: And he did that acoustic show with Kelly Keeling, and he said he really enjoyed doing that.
- 32:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah, other than Kelly being a fucking douche on that tour, if I remember right.
- 32:34SPEAKER_02: Everything about it was good.
- 32:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 32:37SPEAKER_02: And the reviews were good.
- 32:39SPEAKER_02: I remember that the reviews were pretty good for that because it's in his wheelhouse.
- 32:43SPEAKER_02: And it's the same here with Roth.
- 32:45SPEAKER_02: Roth is such a goof.
- 32:47SPEAKER_02: Look, you know, I'm not the biggest DLR guy.
- 32:51SPEAKER_02: I'm really not.
- 32:53SPEAKER_02: But I would definitely pay the money to see him sing these songs acoustically
- 32:58SPEAKER_02: and tell stories because he's such a fucking whack job that
- 33:01SPEAKER_02: the stories would probably be funny if you can figure out what he's saying.
- 33:06SPEAKER_02: Don't you think?
- 33:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because when he was on Joe Rogan, what was it, a couple years ago?
- 33:12SPEAKER_01: And he was going off on his tangents on various things.
- 33:16SPEAKER_01: It's like, what the fuck is this guy even talking about?
- 33:18SPEAKER_02: But he's funny doing it.
- 33:21SPEAKER_02: You know, so, all right, let me put this on the screen and we'll play a little of this.
- 33:25SPEAKER_02: This is DLR doing Jump acoustically
- 33:32SPEAKER_02: as a guitar player.
- 33:35SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
- 33:37SPEAKER_02: Oh, maybe not.
- 33:39SPEAKER_02: Let me hit the sound now.
- 33:41SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
- 33:42I get up.
- 33:44Nothing gets me down.
- 33:47SPEAKER_03: You've got it tough.
- 34:10SPEAKER_02: If he had a guitar player, I'd go see this.
- 34:13SPEAKER_02: What the fuck?
- 34:15SPEAKER_01: I don't even think that guitar is in tune.
- 34:18SPEAKER_01: I don't know what he's doing here.
- 34:19SPEAKER_01: He's just sitting there just... Plinking strings.
- 34:23SPEAKER_02: Plinking strings.
- 34:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's not playing jump.
- 34:26SPEAKER_02: He's... Plinking strings.
- 34:32SPEAKER_01: That is the weirdest goddamn thing.
- 34:34SPEAKER_02: I love it, though.
- 34:36SPEAKER_02: I would pay to see this.
- 34:38SPEAKER_02: It's so stupid that it's great.
- 34:40SPEAKER_02: All right, here we go.
- 34:43SPEAKER_03: Baby, I know Just how you feel You've got to roll With the punches
- 35:07SPEAKER_03: Get to what's real.
- 35:14SPEAKER_03: Come on, John.
- 35:18SPEAKER_01: Let's jump.
- 35:23SPEAKER_01: What is with that goofy, big, dumb smile?
- 35:27SPEAKER_01: Dumb smile.
- 35:30SPEAKER_01: He's always doing that.
- 35:35SPEAKER_02: Holy, the guitar playing is just amazing.
- 35:40SPEAKER_02: It is amazing to, I mean, look, I'm not saying playing guitar is easy.
- 35:45SPEAKER_02: It's not.
- 35:46SPEAKER_02: I'm not very good at it.
- 35:47SPEAKER_01: I don't think he even plays guitar.
- 35:51SPEAKER_02: Are you going to tell me that this guy stood on stage with arguably
- 35:58SPEAKER_02: the greatest guitar player of the last 50 fucking years?
- 36:05SPEAKER_02: And none of it rubbed off?
- 36:07SPEAKER_02: Not even a little?
- 36:09SPEAKER_01: I mean, if he was actually playing, you know, it wouldn't sound like he's just sitting there.
- 36:14SPEAKER_01: Because he did that on that live show that we covered,
- 36:18SPEAKER_01: you know, weeks ago where he was doing the talk up to Ice Cream Man.
- 36:23SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 36:24SPEAKER_01: And it didn't sound anything like Ice Cream Man.
- 36:27SPEAKER_01: He was just plinking around.
- 36:30SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 36:31SPEAKER_02: He clearly cannot play guitar.
- 36:35SPEAKER_02: I wonder if he's only playing it because people expect because he was with Van Halen
- 36:40SPEAKER_02: that he should be able to play guitar.
- 36:44SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's got a guitar.
- 36:46SPEAKER_02: His guitar player in his band is good.
- 36:49SPEAKER_02: Hand that guy the acoustic guitar and let him play it.
- 36:53SPEAKER_02: He would do better than this.
- 36:57SPEAKER_02: This is...
- 36:57SPEAKER_01: I'm going to play it again.
- 36:59SPEAKER_01: Hold on, let me switch back.
- 37:00SPEAKER_01: It's such a bizarre...
- 37:03SPEAKER_01: I mean, the...
- 37:06SPEAKER_01: Him singing the song, you know, acoustics.
- 37:09SPEAKER_02: It's kind of cool.
- 37:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's kind of cool.
- 37:12SPEAKER_01: But the guitar accompaniment that he's trying to do.
- 37:17SPEAKER_02: He sounds like I did when I got my first guitar when I was like 12 years old on Christmas.
- 37:24SPEAKER_02: And I remember opening it.
- 37:26SPEAKER_02: It was in the little paper box, you know, the triangle box.
- 37:29SPEAKER_02: And I took it out and I'm like,
- 37:31SPEAKER_02: ping, ping, ping, ping, until my dad was like, just put that down.
- 37:36SPEAKER_02: Because I sounded like David Lee Roth here.
- 37:41SPEAKER_02: Let's play this one more time.
- 37:42SPEAKER_02: It's only a minute.
- 37:42SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
- 37:45How does he know where to start?
- 37:49SPEAKER_02: Nothing gets me down.
- 37:52SPEAKER_02: You
- 38:05SPEAKER_03: Got it tough.
- 38:06I've seen the toughest around.
- 38:10SPEAKER_03: Baby, I know just how you feel.
- 38:30SPEAKER_03: You've got to roll with the punches.
- 38:37SPEAKER_03: Get to what's real.
- 38:44SPEAKER_03: Come on, jump.
- 38:45Let's jump.
- 38:56SPEAKER_01: I keep hearing a tambourine clinking around there.
- 39:01SPEAKER_01: How do you think he's doing that?
- 39:03SPEAKER_02: I'm sure there's somebody sitting next to him, just shaking the tambourine.
- 39:10SPEAKER_02: Such a fucking goober.
- 39:16SPEAKER_02: Oh my goodness, that is just brutal.
- 39:22SPEAKER_02: I don't remember what this is.
- 39:25SPEAKER_02: I'm going to play it anyway.
- 39:27SPEAKER_02: It says,
- 39:27SPEAKER_02: David Lee Roth should...
- 39:30SPEAKER_02: Oh, a public service announcement Dave released as well recently.
- 39:37SPEAKER_02: He's all over the social media now.
- 39:39SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 39:42SPEAKER_02: So here's Dave.
- 39:44SPEAKER_03: Let's play this.
- 39:47SPEAKER_03: It's Diamond Dave,
- 39:48SPEAKER_03: and I'm whip-cracking ready to talk to you about a public service announcement.
- 39:52SPEAKER_03: That's right.
- 39:54SPEAKER_03: Get ready, because I'm going to service you good.
- 39:57SPEAKER_03: Cowboy Dave here, last of the Vanishing Riders.
- 40:00SPEAKER_03: We rode and rode, and I'm ready to keep on riding.
- 40:05SPEAKER_03: Who's the first cartoon character you wanted to fuck?
- 40:08SPEAKER_03: For me, it was Wilma Flintstone.
- 40:11SPEAKER_03: I know, I know she's married.
- 40:14SPEAKER_03: Well, Fred's a fucking cartoon.
- 40:16SPEAKER_03: Fuck Fred.
- 40:17SPEAKER_03: Me and Wilma, we got a thing going on.
- 40:21SPEAKER_03: And it was Wilma Flintstone.
- 40:24SPEAKER_03: Who taught me the difference between good and amazing.
- 40:28SPEAKER_03: Good is when it's your birthday and you go out for your favorite barbecue
- 40:33SPEAKER_03: with your friends and family.
- 40:35Woo!
- 40:36SPEAKER_03: Amazing was when Wilma called me on my last birthday and said,
- 40:40SPEAKER_03: I'm here with Veronica from Archie Comics and me and Betty Rubble want to fuck you.
- 40:47SPEAKER_03: I said, girls line up, I want to fuck you too.
- 40:51SPEAKER_03: I did do...
- 40:56SPEAKER_01: Why is he breathing so hard?
- 40:59SPEAKER_01: Why is he doing any of this?
- 41:00SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's just really bizarre.
- 41:04SPEAKER_01: He's whip, crack, and ready?
- 41:07SPEAKER_02: Whip, crack, and ready to fuck Wilma Flintstone and fucking Veronica from Archie.
- 41:12SPEAKER_02: What?
- 41:18SPEAKER_01: It's quite a jacket he's got there.
- 41:20SPEAKER_02: That's great.
- 41:22SPEAKER_02: All right, here's more.
- 41:23SPEAKER_02: There's another minute or so of this.
- 41:27SPEAKER_03: One time for television, I remember it was right around Gilligan's Island.
- 41:31SPEAKER_03: There's a Buddhist question there.
- 41:32SPEAKER_03: Is it Ginger or is it Mary Ann?
- 41:34SPEAKER_03: There's no answer yet.
- 41:35SPEAKER_03: The question still remains.
- 41:37SPEAKER_03: I got three hours though.
- 41:39SPEAKER_03: Let's start the tour.
- 41:41SPEAKER_03: And I remember Star Trek boldly going where no man's ever gone before.
- 41:47SPEAKER_03: I was ready.
- 41:48SPEAKER_03: I was going to lead with my cowboy hat and I've been places with my hat.
- 41:53SPEAKER_03: You wouldn't go with a fucking pistol.
- 41:55SPEAKER_03: Prepare to board.
- 41:56SPEAKER_03: Bulkheads can't take him, Captain.
- 41:58SPEAKER_03: Whatever a fucking bulkhead is.
- 42:01SPEAKER_03: Woo!
- 42:02SPEAKER_03: I tell you.
- 42:03SPEAKER_03: But I'm back.
- 42:04SPEAKER_03: Because I'm ready with Lieutenant Uhura.
- 42:07SPEAKER_03: Remember?
- 42:08SPEAKER_03: She had that thing in her ear.
- 42:09SPEAKER_03: I don't know what she was listening to.
- 42:11SPEAKER_03: Maybe the Howard Stern Show.
- 42:13SPEAKER_03: I hope so.
- 42:15SPEAKER_03: The door goes, sliding door.
- 42:18SPEAKER_03: She's there butt naked going, Diamond Dave.
- 42:21SPEAKER_03: Get your knees dirty, son.
- 42:23SPEAKER_03: Time to communicate.
- 42:26SPEAKER_03: But I did get back to comics,
- 42:28SPEAKER_03: and I want Wonder Woman to come down with her golden lariat,
- 42:33SPEAKER_03: the one that makes you tell the truth,
- 42:35SPEAKER_03: and I want her to tie me up like with handcuffs.
- 42:39SPEAKER_03: Now, I knew Heidi Fleiss,
- 42:41SPEAKER_03: the Hollywood madam,
- 42:42SPEAKER_03: and they took her away in handcuffs and charged her over a thousand dollars mail.
- 42:47SPEAKER_03: Last time I was in Vegas, I requested handcuffs, and the girls charged me a thousand bucks.
- 42:54SPEAKER_03: Woo!
- 42:55SPEAKER_03: There's been a public service announcement.
- 42:57SPEAKER_03: Check in next week and I'll service your funky ass again.
- 43:04SPEAKER_01: There's a big dumb grin again.
- 43:08SPEAKER_02: Why?
- 43:11SPEAKER_02: That's my only question is why?
- 43:12SPEAKER_02: Boredom?
- 43:17SPEAKER_01: You just got nothing better to do.
- 43:20SPEAKER_02: Look, I'm not going to lie and say that I ever didn't record a couple of things
- 43:24SPEAKER_02: that were stupid and silly like this.
- 43:25SPEAKER_02: I have, but I don't put them out there.
- 43:29SPEAKER_01: Well, he fancies himself a very glib character,
- 43:33SPEAKER_01: you know, and he's just a, he's the equivalent to a crazy cat lady.
- 43:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 43:43SPEAKER_02: That was bizarre.
- 43:47SPEAKER_02: I mean, that's just, Insane.
- 43:52SPEAKER_02: I don't know how else to put it other than that's just insane.
- 43:56SPEAKER_01: He's a bizarre character for sure.
- 43:58SPEAKER_02: You want one more?
- 44:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sure.
- 44:01SPEAKER_01: Why not?
- 44:01SPEAKER_02: I'm obsessed with Roth now.
- 44:03SPEAKER_02: I love it.
- 44:05SPEAKER_02: The more stupid shit he does, the more I like it.
- 44:09SPEAKER_02: Here's another one.
- 44:11SPEAKER_02: Sound on sound.
- 44:13SPEAKER_01: So what's all of a sudden with the cowboy hats and the Western motif and all that?
- 44:17SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 44:18SPEAKER_02: I have no idea.
- 44:19SPEAKER_02: Is he living in the mountains or something?
- 44:21SPEAKER_01: He's a Jewish cowboy.
- 44:23SPEAKER_02: Does he live in Oregon or something?
- 44:26SPEAKER_02: You buy the Yellowstone or something?
- 44:27SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 44:28SPEAKER_02: I don't know what's up with any of this, but I'm liking it because it's so stupid.
- 44:35SPEAKER_02: All right, here we go.
- 44:37SPEAKER_03: Came back, kinda knew you would.
- 44:38SPEAKER_03: By the way, don't bother subscribing, we're not advertising.
- 44:42SPEAKER_03: And don't hit like, I don't really care what you like or you don't like.
- 44:46SPEAKER_03: Either loved it and you're coming back, or you hated it and you tell an enemy.
- 44:50SPEAKER_03: Ozzy, The Truth, Part 2.
- 44:54SPEAKER_03: Cowboy Dave here,
- 44:55SPEAKER_03: and when you see the big red cup,
- 44:58SPEAKER_03: you know I'm about to speed you one hell of a campfire story.
- 45:02SPEAKER_03: Previously...
- 45:04SPEAKER_03: Ozzy and I were in Nashville.
- 45:05SPEAKER_03: Van Halen's opening for Black Sabbath.
- 45:07SPEAKER_03: I love Ozzy.
- 45:10SPEAKER_03: And Ozzy, you're on a tour bus exactly like the disco submarine.
- 45:15SPEAKER_03: Go ahead and pan around a little bit here, Geraldine.
- 45:18SPEAKER_03: Geraldine is our business manager and photographer supremo.
- 45:23SPEAKER_03: And she's showing you the disco.
- 45:24SPEAKER_03: Put it back here, Jerry.
- 45:25SPEAKER_03: We're done with it.
- 45:26SPEAKER_03: Put it back here.
- 45:27SPEAKER_03: I'm answering it in the TV set.
- 45:29SPEAKER_03: But I will be on the TV set.
- 45:32SPEAKER_03: Ozzy Osbourne, Ozzy, Iron Man.
- 45:36SPEAKER_03: That sounds particularly official.
- 45:38SPEAKER_03: I've been practicing that since 1907, when it came out.
- 45:43SPEAKER_03: Ozzy and I are partying.
- 45:44SPEAKER_03: We're partying like demon buccaneers.
- 45:47SPEAKER_03: We're partying like Vikings.
- 45:49SPEAKER_03: I was a ball of muscle in those days, man.
- 45:52SPEAKER_03: And in those days,
- 45:53SPEAKER_03: if somebody said,
- 45:54SPEAKER_03: we got to get up at six in the morning because we get on the bus and we have to have
- 45:58SPEAKER_03: an airplane at 8.30, we just stay up.
- 46:02SPEAKER_03: Wednesday's the beginning of the weekend for us, just like on the Mickey Mouse Club.
- 46:06SPEAKER_03: Anything could happen.
- 46:08SPEAKER_03: Isn't that right, Oz?
- 46:10SPEAKER_03: Ozzy and I separate.
- 46:13SPEAKER_03: We leave the Marriott Hotel in Nashville.
- 46:16SPEAKER_03: And these are the days when you have the key with the plastic and the room number,
- 46:20SPEAKER_03: and it's an actual key that you put into the keyhole in the doorknob.
- 46:25SPEAKER_03: A lot of millennials have no idea what I'm talking about.
- 46:29SPEAKER_03: But you stick in it and twist it.
- 46:30SPEAKER_02: This is like watching your grandfather fucking spin yarns about back in the 40s, isn't it?
- 46:37SPEAKER_01: It is.
- 46:41SPEAKER_02: And he's not making much sense again.
- 46:43SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's sort of, I guess.
- 46:45SPEAKER_02: He's telling a story about
- 46:47SPEAKER_02: Van Halen swung with Black Sabbath.
- 46:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I guess.
- 46:50SPEAKER_02: All right, here we go.
- 46:52SPEAKER_03: Magnetic card.
- 46:53SPEAKER_03: There's no using your phone or whatever.
- 46:56SPEAKER_03: I check into the new hotel.
- 46:58SPEAKER_03: It's in Memphis.
- 47:00SPEAKER_03: And Ozzy disappears.
- 47:02SPEAKER_03: We show the show, we do the gig, and they burst through the door.
- 47:07SPEAKER_03: Tony Iommi,
- 47:07SPEAKER_03: the guitar player for Black Sabbath,
- 47:09SPEAKER_03: Keyser Butler,
- 47:10SPEAKER_03: the bass player,
- 47:11SPEAKER_03: he'll remember this fondly,
- 47:12SPEAKER_03: and their manager at the time screaming, what did you do to Ozzy?
- 47:18SPEAKER_03: Yes, I am the devil's son-in-law,
- 47:20SPEAKER_03: though now my duties are largely ceremonial, and I'm not in charge of Ozzy.
- 47:25SPEAKER_03: Ozzy has disappeared.
- 47:27SPEAKER_03: True story.
- 47:29SPEAKER_03: We have to cancel the show.
- 47:31SPEAKER_03: They come back again.
- 47:32SPEAKER_03: We can't find Ozzy.
- 47:33SPEAKER_03: Can you sing the Sabbath songs?
- 47:36SPEAKER_03: I love the Sabbath songs, but I can't learn the lyrics in time.
- 47:40SPEAKER_03: We canceled the show.
- 47:42SPEAKER_03: Now, the FBI.
- 47:45SPEAKER_02: Can you imagine if you went to see Black Sabbath in 1978 or 1980
- 47:51SPEAKER_02: and David Lee Roth is out there trying to do Iron Man or...
- 47:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's just like watching Sebastian Bach doing Twisted Sister.
- 47:59SPEAKER_02: I can just see him just doing war pigs and being like, devil generals gathered in their masses.
- 48:11SPEAKER_01: He'll do that thing, that little.
- 48:14SPEAKER_01: Like that ID that you have, yeah.
- 48:16SPEAKER_01: Where he's singing, running with the devil.
- 48:20SPEAKER_02: Running with the jungle and whatnot.
- 48:26SPEAKER_02: You know, I could just see it.
- 48:28SPEAKER_02: Fairies wear ice cream.
- 48:30SPEAKER_02: All right, here we go.
- 48:35SPEAKER_03: Local gendarmerie.
- 48:37SPEAKER_03: Everybody is back at the hotel because Oz has disappeared.
- 48:41SPEAKER_03: We think he's been kidnapped.
- 48:44SPEAKER_03: They're sitting on the floors.
- 48:45SPEAKER_03: The press is there.
- 48:47SPEAKER_03: They have the cameras, the television channel, five channels, seven.
- 48:51SPEAKER_03: Everybody is there.
- 48:53SPEAKER_03: And all night long, the police are combing the airport.
- 48:58SPEAKER_03: They're combing Memphis.
- 48:59SPEAKER_03: They're combing Nashville.
- 49:00SPEAKER_03: Still no Ozzy Osbourne.
- 49:03SPEAKER_03: I'm there getting blamed for the entire thing.
- 49:08SPEAKER_03: All night.
- 49:09SPEAKER_03: And it's getting sad.
- 49:10SPEAKER_03: It's getting scary.
- 49:12SPEAKER_03: It's getting dark.
- 49:13SPEAKER_03: Because he really...
- 49:16SPEAKER_03: The elevator door opens.
- 49:19SPEAKER_03: And you know that thing when Ozzy comes out going, Sharon!
- 49:26SPEAKER_03: Sharon!
- 49:28SPEAKER_03: He walks out like this.
- 49:29SPEAKER_03: But this was before Sharon.
- 49:31SPEAKER_03: All credit Duke.
- 49:33SPEAKER_03: He's in his fucking pajamas,
- 49:35SPEAKER_03: and he walks out of the elevator into a lobby full of FBI,
- 49:39SPEAKER_03: CIA, local police, news media, television cameras.
- 49:44SPEAKER_03: The only person who wasn't there was Rivera,
- 49:46SPEAKER_03: and he's on his way, and finally everybody stops looking at me.
- 49:52SPEAKER_03: Where have you been?
- 49:54SPEAKER_03: Fuck me.
- 49:56SPEAKER_03: That's not the best one.
- 49:57SPEAKER_03: Let me go again.
- 49:58SPEAKER_03: Fuck me.
- 49:59SPEAKER_03: That was a little better.
- 50:01SPEAKER_03: I'm going to cut to the crash.
- 50:04SPEAKER_03: In Yiddish, there are about 18 different words for, you fuck it.
- 50:12SPEAKER_03: One of them is shlemiel.
- 50:15SPEAKER_03: This shlemiel,
- 50:16SPEAKER_03: and I say it lovingly,
- 50:18SPEAKER_03: this fucking shmendrik,
- 50:21SPEAKER_03: another one,
- 50:24SPEAKER_03: had got to the second hotel, and instead of getting his new key.
- 50:30SPEAKER_02: Can you imagine being on this bus for like eight hours?
- 50:35SPEAKER_01: It's just nonstop nonsense.
- 50:37SPEAKER_01: You know he never shuts up.
- 50:39SPEAKER_01: No, of course not.
- 50:40SPEAKER_00: Hey, metalheads.
- 50:42SPEAKER_00: Tired of the same old boring radio?

- 51:19SPEAKER_02: You know this is from the minute you get on the bus to the minute you get off the bus.
- 51:24SPEAKER_02: If he's truly retired, we got to get Sean McNabb on here to tell us.
- 51:28SPEAKER_01: You know what?
- 51:30SPEAKER_01: I would love to have Randy and David Lee Roth in the same room.
- 51:34SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 51:35SPEAKER_01: Could you imagine that?
- 51:37SPEAKER_02: My head would explode.
- 51:40SPEAKER_02: My head could not take the two of them.
- 51:44SPEAKER_02: Can you imagine the ball lapping that Randy would do for this?
- 51:47SPEAKER_01: Well, not only that, but neither one of them can shut up for a minute.
- 51:51SPEAKER_02: Oh, it would be great.
- 51:52SPEAKER_02: They'd both be interrupting and talking over each other.
- 51:56SPEAKER_02: Oh, that would be good.
- 51:57SPEAKER_02: That would really be good.
- 52:00SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 52:00SPEAKER_02: There's a little more of this story.
- 52:01SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
- 52:01SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 52:03SPEAKER_03: With the plastic,
- 52:04SPEAKER_03: with the number on it,
- 52:06SPEAKER_03: with the key,
- 52:07SPEAKER_03: he walked right past the road manager,
- 52:12SPEAKER_03: like this,
- 52:14SPEAKER_03: walked into the elevator in a stone stupor, okay, which, yes,
- 52:20SPEAKER_03: I'll take some ownership of,
- 52:22SPEAKER_03: and pulls the key from the last hotel out of his pocket and goes to that room.
- 52:29SPEAKER_03: It's the wrong room.
- 52:30SPEAKER_03: Lo and behold, blunders never cease around here.
- 52:35SPEAKER_03: And there's a maid in the room cleaning up.
- 52:38SPEAKER_03: He throws her out,
- 52:40SPEAKER_03: slams the door,
- 52:42SPEAKER_03: falls face down on the Sealy Posturepedic mattress,
- 52:45SPEAKER_03: and sleeps for almost the next 18 hours.
- 52:50SPEAKER_03: At which point he wakes up at 6.30 the next morning having missed the show,
- 52:56SPEAKER_03: sees the dark out the window and goes, it's time to go to work because of the dark.
- 53:03SPEAKER_03: He's in his pajamas, which who cares, we're rock stars.
- 53:06SPEAKER_03: Everybody loves that crazy misdemeanor or shit we do.
- 53:09SPEAKER_03: He walks in his pajamas to the elevator because nobody went,
- 53:14SPEAKER_03: five and a half, I'll leave in an hour.
- 53:17SPEAKER_03: I'm imagining it would be in a British accent.
- 53:20SPEAKER_03: He watched to the elevator and takes the elevator right downstairs into the lobby,
- 53:27SPEAKER_03: into history.
- 53:31SPEAKER_02: Now, he's an idiot.
- 53:34SPEAKER_02: But if this was a podcast, you'd subscribe to it.
- 53:37SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course.
- 53:38SPEAKER_02: Without even
- 53:40SPEAKER_01: a thought.
- 53:40SPEAKER_02: I mean, you can't
- 53:42SPEAKER_01: go and not watch the lunacy.
- 53:44SPEAKER_02: You have to.
- 53:45SPEAKER_02: That's...
- 53:46SPEAKER_02: It's a car wreck.
- 53:47SPEAKER_02: It is.
- 53:48SPEAKER_02: Dude, I'm telling you, I've watched this episode three or four times.
- 53:54SPEAKER_02: If this was a true podcast,
- 53:55SPEAKER_02: it would be on my phone just being delivered to me and spoon-fed to me.
- 54:00SPEAKER_02: And I would pay the five, like we do with the locals.
- 54:05SPEAKER_02: If he did the same thing for five bucks a month, I'm absolutely paying for it.
- 54:09SPEAKER_02: If he does one or two of these a week.
- 54:12SPEAKER_02: Just one or two of them a week.
- 54:14SPEAKER_02: Because he is a fucking goof.
- 54:17SPEAKER_02: And I love watching them just be a goof.
- 54:21SPEAKER_02: So ridiculous.
- 54:24SPEAKER_02: But there you have it.
- 54:25SPEAKER_02: That's DLR.
- 54:27SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 54:27SPEAKER_02: And that's that, I think, for the show.
- 54:30SPEAKER_01: I believe that'll
- 54:31SPEAKER_02: be a wrap.
- 54:32SPEAKER_02: That's it.
- 54:33SPEAKER_02: We're donezo.
- 54:34SPEAKER_02: We even gave you a couple of minutes of overtime.
- 54:36SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 54:38SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 54:38SPEAKER_01: Well, it's good to be back.
- 54:41SPEAKER_01: I want to thank my friend Jamie St. James for being a part of the show tonight.

- 55:07SPEAKER_01: the chat room and happy birthday to Shelly Rocks and all that good stuff.
- 55:12SPEAKER_01: And as far as I can tell, we will be back next Saturday.
- 55:16SPEAKER_01: Yes, sir.
- 55:16SPEAKER_01: And we'll do it all over again.
- 55:18SPEAKER_01: Yep, yep.
- 55:20SPEAKER_01: So until next Saturday, this is Neely along with my very good friend.
- 55:25SPEAKER_02: Chris Aiken.
- 55:27SPEAKER_01: And we are out of here.
- 55:29SPEAKER_01: Bye, kids.
