2:58
SPEAKER_12: Nothing like getting Doug ticked off.
3:02
SPEAKER_08: Alright.
3:02
SPEAKER_08: Uh so let's see what's happened since the last time we uh we talked to each other.
3:06
SPEAKER_08: Uh we well, we had rehearsal.
3:08
SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
3:09
SPEAKER_14: A lot of rehearsal.
3:10
SPEAKER_08: A couple rehearsals in in one day.
3:12
SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
3:12
SPEAKER_08: And well, so so here's the thing that surprised me.
3:15
SPEAKER_08: We've already talked about this, but not on the podcast.
3:17
SPEAKER_08: Umy has a first name?
3:23
SPEAKER_08: Yep.
3:24
SPEAKER_08: It's uh B-R-I-A-N.
3:27
SPEAKER_13: Your baloney's named after you?
3:29
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
3:30
SPEAKER_13: That's weird.
3:31
SPEAKER_08: So anyway, um I p stress about learning songs because I want them to be right.
3:39
SPEAKER_12: Well, we all do that.
3:40
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
3:41
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
3:41
SPEAKER_08: But uh I do it a little more well, Joel does too.
3:45
SPEAKER_08: A little more outwardly.
3:47
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
3:47
SPEAKER_08: You know.
3:48
SPEAKER_08: Joel and I both well, Joel's probably a lot busier than I am, actually.
3:53
SPEAKER_08: Um but he's I think he's a year he's a couple years older than me, I think.
3:59
SPEAKER_08: Right?
4:00
SPEAKER_14: I would say sorry, yeah.
4:01
SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
4:01
SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
4:02
SPEAKER_08: Not he's not much older, but he's a couple years.
4:04
SPEAKER_08: Right.
4:04
SPEAKER_08: Um but so you know, guys, our age when it comes to this stuff, we have to sit down and spend time with these songs in order to kind of figure out what's going on.
4:15
SPEAKER_08: Right.
4:16
SPEAKER_08: And so, uh, I had uh a lot of homework to do and our pr our rehearsal was Sunday afternoon.
4:24
SPEAKER_08: And so we're sending messages and let's do this song, let's do this song, let's do this song.
4:28
SPEAKER_08: Well it ended up being between the two bands, ten songs for one rehearsal.
4:35
SPEAKER_08: Five songs for one band, five songs for the other band.
4:38
SPEAKER_08: And some of them were pretty straightforward, some of them we'd already done before.
4:43
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
4:43
SPEAKER_08: Um so I wasn't really too worried about those, but there was a couple that I was worried about.
4:49
SPEAKER_08: And the one that I was most worried about was the same one that Joel was worried about.
4:54
SPEAKER_08: Because there's um guitar part in it that is signature for the song.
5:04
SPEAKER_08: Right?
5:05
SPEAKER_12: I don't know which song you're talking about.
5:06
SPEAKER_12: You don't know which song I'm talking about?
5:08
SPEAKER_12: Okay, well, let me Well, I tend to tune you guys out.
5:11
SPEAKER_12: So I'm not really Not on purpose, but I mean, you guys are starting, oh I don't know what should that should that be uh F minor?
5:21
SPEAKER_12: That's an F sharp, no, go E flat.
5:24
SPEAKER_12: And I'm like, all I hear is you know, so okay, so this is the one I'm talking about.
5:34
SPEAKER_12: Oh, that one, yeah, okay.
5:35
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
5:36
SPEAKER_08: So this this seems like and it is pretty straightforward.
5:41
SPEAKER_08: You know?
5:42
SPEAKER_12: I I you want me to say yes it does, but I think there's more to it than appears.
5:47
SPEAKER_12: It's like a transformer.
5:48
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, so this is Orleans song called Still the One.
5:52
SPEAKER_08: Great song, yeah.
5:53
SPEAKER_08: It'll go over well, and on the face of it, it's pretty simple.
5:59
SPEAKER_08: But when you get to the guitar solo, uh Okay.
6:09
SPEAKER_08: So this is a dual guitar solo.
6:12
SPEAKER_08: Right.
6:13
SPEAKER_08: And so I had like a a day maybe to kind of figure it out.
6:17
SPEAKER_08: Joel did too.
6:18
SPEAKER_08: And so this is how it this is what it sounds like.
7:07
SPEAKER_08: Actually, yeah, two guitars.
7:08
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
7:09
SPEAKER_08: Um, and my thinking was we can't do this song if we don't have this guitar solo right.
7:16
SPEAKER_08: I think Joel was thinking that too.
7:18
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, but honestly, the lay person isn't gonna pay any attention.
7:23
SPEAKER_12: Well, see, I don't think about that.
7:25
SPEAKER_12: I know.
7:26
SPEAKER_12: The only other people, other than the people in the band thinking about the guitar solo, are musicians out in the crowd.
7:32
SPEAKER_11: Right.
7:33
SPEAKER_12: They're like, because you know they're out there going, ah, they missed that.
7:37
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
7:37
SPEAKER_12: I screwed that part up.
7:38
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, you know.
7:39
SPEAKER_08: So anyway, we walked into this rehearsal, kind of anxiety-ridden about this song.
7:45
SPEAKER_08: Sure.
7:46
SPEAKER_08: And I we we started, we're do we want to tackle it?
7:50
SPEAKER_08: I think we did it last, one of the last things that we did.
7:52
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
7:53
SPEAKER_08: Asked, do we want to do it?
7:54
SPEAKER_08: No, we'll try it.
7:55
SPEAKER_08: It's not gonna be there.
7:56
SPEAKER_08: You know, uh we're we're the the dual guitar is not gonna be there.
7:59
SPEAKER_08: We're just I'll just fake a guitar solo, you know, and we'll get through it.
8:03
SPEAKER_08: And we got all the way through it.
8:07
SPEAKER_08: First take.
8:08
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, we did.
8:08
SPEAKER_08: Um I faked a guitar solo and it fit.
8:12
SPEAKER_08: It wasn't perfect, but it fit.
8:15
SPEAKER_08: And we s we ended and we're like, why were we so why were we so afraid of this song?
8:22
SPEAKER_08: It could work without the dual guitar solo.
8:25
SPEAKER_08: I thought it was so signature, and I think it is, but I don't their musicians people aren't gonna care.
8:31
SPEAKER_12: No, they're not gonna care.
8:32
SPEAKER_12: They just they like the song.
8:33
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, they like to sing along.
8:35
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
8:36
SPEAKER_12: You know?
8:36
SPEAKER_12: They're not singing along to the guitar solo.
8:39
SPEAKER_08: Right.
8:40
SPEAKER_08: So Yeah, that's true.
8:41
SPEAKER_08: Depending on the guitar solo, actually.
8:44
SPEAKER_08: But not that one.
8:45
SPEAKER_08: You're right.
8:45
SPEAKER_08: They're not singing along to that guy.
8:47
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, yeah.
8:47
SPEAKER_08: So anyway, we did it two times, three times, I don't know.
8:52
SPEAKER_08: I think we did it twice, and we were like, well, okay.
8:55
SPEAKER_11: We could probably pull it off right now.
8:57
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
8:57
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
8:58
SPEAKER_08: So and these are and this was, I should say, uh, this was a non-horn rehearsal.
9:03
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
9:04
SPEAKER_08: Because sometimes we like so we like to give the horns a break during a syndicate show because of their lips.
9:11
SPEAKER_08: Right?
9:12
SPEAKER_08: Break lips.
9:13
SPEAKER_08: Break lips.
9:14
SPEAKER_08: Lips break.
9:14
SPEAKER_08: Uh lips break.
9:16
SPEAKER_12: Right.
9:18
SPEAKER_08: So so we we throw in Give your lips a break.
9:23
SPEAKER_08: We throw in songs that don't have any horns in them so that they can take a break and and rest their lips and jowls and all that stuff.
9:30
SPEAKER_08: And Jowl break.
9:32
SPEAKER_12: We have had jailbreak.
9:34
SPEAKER_08: We have had the uh It's a jowl break!
9:42
unknown: Sorry.
9:45
SPEAKER_08: So we have uh kind of a short supply of non-horn songs, so we just added a few um that we thought would go over.
9:53
SPEAKER_08: Still the one free ride from Edgar Winter Group, which actually went pretty well.
9:57
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
9:57
SPEAKER_08: Um what were the other ones?
9:59
SPEAKER_08: I don't remember talking about doing that one, but still uh Hey Tonight, C C R.
10:05
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, we we done that with Reverend Funk.
10:07
SPEAKER_08: Yep.
10:07
SPEAKER_08: So uh what was the other one?
10:09
SPEAKER_08: There were two two other ones.
10:12
SPEAKER_08: Oh, holy cow.
10:13
SPEAKER_08: I don't even remember now.
10:15
SPEAKER_08: Anyway, we did five songs.
10:17
SPEAKER_08: This ticket, and then we did five songs with Skinny Elvis.
10:20
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
10:21
SPEAKER_12: Um see I was worried about the third eye blind song that we did because the because it's a it's a weird it's a weird song.
10:30
SPEAKER_12: It comes in at weird places and it's the chorus is really high, and I was like, ah, this is gonna say but then when we got in there, I was like, oh, this isn't that.
10:38
SPEAKER_08: If you think that one uh the words are in weird places in that one, you should do like semi-charmed life or something.
10:43
SPEAKER_08: Semi-charmed life or jumper.
10:45
SPEAKER_08: Those are even you know, those are the same.
10:47
SPEAKER_08: I mean, it's all semi-char uh all um third eye blind songs are kind of weird.
10:51
SPEAKER_08: Weird that way.
10:52
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
10:53
SPEAKER_08: Um so yeah, we got that one and um we got a few more.

14:51
SPEAKER_08: So we don't we don't have our own lists.

SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
15:13
SPEAKER_08: Um and I don't uh know if it's um guitar solos within the song.

15:22
SPEAKER_08: Is that considered a guitar?
15:24
SPEAKER_12: That's more of an instrumental.

30:26
SPEAKER_08: Nope.
30:26
SPEAKER_08: Uh we haven't seen Eddie.
30:28
SPEAKER_08: Of course, that's not really hairband.
30:29
SPEAKER_08: Not really that.
30:31
SPEAKER_12: I wouldn't consider him hair.
30:32
SPEAKER_12: But I I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't show up on this list.
30:35
SPEAKER_08: Oh no, I don't think he will either.
30:37
SPEAKER_08: Uh Whitesnake.
30:39

SPEAKER_12: Now it's great, but you're right.
30:44

31:10
SPEAKER_08: Is that what you know?
31:12
SPEAKER_12: I don't, you know, I don't know.
31:13
SPEAKER_12: I don't know the criteria.
31:15
SPEAKER_12: I mean, is it like the Olympics?
31:16
SPEAKER_12: They're going for, you know, difficulty and let's see.
31:18
SPEAKER_08: Let's see what they say here.
31:20
SPEAKER_08: Uh, you might be an 80s hard rock aficionado and guitar fanatic eager to see which of the air solids we deem the best.
31:25
SPEAKER_08: We're glad you're here.
31:26
SPEAKER_08: You might go you might also be blind with rage because we dare to categorize said 80s hard rock as hair metal.
31:32
SPEAKER_08: Um if you fall into the latter camp, just know we hear you and your concerns are valid, but all the artists on this list did share some common DNA.
31:39
SPEAKER_08: Blah blah blah.
31:41
SPEAKER_08: Uh as we said about compiling the top 20 hair metal solos, we made some controversial inclusions and exclusions that are in all honesty arbitrary.
31:50
SPEAKER_08: So we didn't actually knew that one.
31:52
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, we knew Eddie was not gonna be happy.
31:53
SPEAKER_08: Uh they were the godfathers of the style, but they were not hair band.
31:56
SPEAKER_08: They had little in common with it sonically.
31:58
SPEAKER_08: Same goes for Ozzy Osborne, so let me know who was Aquil, probably.
32:02
SPEAKER_08: Uh or any of the things that's a good thing.
32:03
SPEAKER_12: Well, there might be some uh Randy Rhodes.
32:06
SPEAKER_08: Uh there might be.
32:08
SPEAKER_08: Um on the flip side.
32:10
SPEAKER_08: Okay, so I'm not gonna read anymore because we're we're getting to the bottom of the list here.
32:14
SPEAKER_08: Because it it just told me what they did include.
32:16
SPEAKER_08: Oh, okay.
32:17
SPEAKER_08: Um I don't wanna know.
32:18
SPEAKER_08: I don't wanna know either.
32:19
SPEAKER_08: Okay, so White Snakes Crying in the Rain was number six.
32:23

33:49
SPEAKER_08: You're absolutely right.
33:50
SPEAKER_08: You're absolutely right.
33:51
