I'm glad you're doing it like from your house or studio, wherever you are.

Speaker A:

But we had Mario Bosco.

Speaker A:

He, he made the decision to go.

Speaker A:

Let's see, I can do it from an apartment where it could be quiet or a house where it could be quiet.

Speaker A:

But let me go to a cafe and in that cafe when there's only one person in there, let me sit right next to him so I can hear the whole conversation which is right under the television.

Speaker C:

I have a laptop and a bus terminal not far.

Speaker C:

If you want me to relocate.

Speaker A:

To Manhattan and do it at the 42nd street subway station, you know that would have been.

Speaker A:

That been more serene than when did his from.

But we love, we do Bosco, he's a trip that guy.

Speaker A:

But we have a funny guy here too.

I'm gonna go to Germany for a little bit and Amsterdam and.

Speaker A:

Have you ever been to Amsterdam?

Speaker C:

I have not.

Speaker A:

I have, no, my friend.

Speaker A:

I used to go every single year.

Speaker C:

Nice.

Go to the Milkwag and I can give you a whole bunch of places to go to, man.

Speaker A:

It was.

Speaker A:

It was one time.

Speaker A:

I'm there with my friends and who do we run into?

Speaker A:

We run into the Wu Tang Clan.

Speaker A:

We run into the Wu Tang Clan.

Speaker A:

We wind up going with them to a Jamaican bar.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And you know, like, everything is.

Speaker A:

It's legal or it's regulated.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And we wind up hanging out with them to about, I would say, six, seven o'clock in the morning, which is kind of the average time you would come in from hanging out in Amsterdam.

Speaker C:

That's.

Speaker C:

That's.

Speaker C:

Wow.

Speaker B:

Those days are way behind me.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

And I'm going with my girlfriend.

Speaker C:

It's like a whole different.

Speaker C:

I'm going.

Speaker C:

I hear it's beautiful, it's going to be amazing.

Speaker C:

And I don't really.

Speaker A:

Then you'll not be seeing like a.

Speaker B:

Dana's fisting show is what you're saying.

Speaker B:

The girlfriend's gonna want to see like the sights and stuff.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

He's gonna wind up going to the Reichsmuseum.

Speaker A:

He's gonna go to the Van Gogh Museum.

Speaker A:

He's gonna.

Speaker A:

He's gonna wear that backwards and pretend like he's really into art.

Speaker A:

Like, you know, oh, I'm totally in the art.

Speaker C:

We're gonna do that probably Anne Frank or something, you know.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

You'll go to the Rijksmuseum and they'll all look like the Dutch man cigar picture and they're all Rembrandts.

Speaker B:

It's like going to Vegas and going to church.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

Well, Germany's gonna.

Speaker C:

We're doing like one of those riverboat cruises up the Rhine.

Speaker C:

So, like every day is a different town and it's gonna be awesome.

Speaker C:

I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker A:

You'll have.

Speaker B:

I want to get.

Speaker B:

I want to ask you a question because I always ask this of certain people.

Speaker B:

Which came first, the love of music or the love of comedy, Considering that you do both in your act.

Speaker C:

I would have to say music, because I didn't know.

Speaker C:

I didn't know anything about comedy.

Speaker C:

I used to play piano when my mother used to play, and then she'd read, and then I'd hop up and play what she was trying to play.

Speaker A:

So when you were growing up.

Speaker A:

Okay, that's a good question that Sean started you off with.

Speaker A:

What were you listening to?

Speaker A:

And was there any band or anything that got.

Speaker A:

Got you into?

Speaker A:

Me.

Speaker A:

And by the way, Sean, we have already spoke more music on this episode than we did the whole Mario Bosco episode.

Speaker B:

Yes, very true.

Speaker C:

That's who I thought you were gonna say you ran into in Amsterdam.

Speaker C:

Mario Bosco.

Speaker C:

Just hanging out at a cafe.

Speaker C:

No, my mom was a big Beetlehead, so I grew up with that.

Speaker C:

A lot of 70s folk stuff and 70s.

Speaker C:

A lot of 70s stuff.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker C:

I hate.

Speaker C:

I hated the, like, a lot of the 80s stuff, except for the rock and metal I didn't dive with, but cool.

Speaker A:

So what I wanted to do with this episode, and I'm glad we have Chris on for this, since he is, you know, he knows music.

Speaker A:

He's a musician.

Speaker A:

I wanted to.

Speaker A:

I wanted to title this episode Rock Debates.

Speaker A:

And I want to, like, throw a series of questions at you guys and get your feedback on what, what you think on these rock debates.

Speaker A:

So the first question, pretty simple one.

Speaker A:

Which era of Van Halen are you guys going with?

Speaker A:

Would you say the Roth era or the Sammy Hagar era?

Speaker C:

I'd go not to mainstream.

Speaker C:

I'd go, Roth.

Speaker A:

Why Roth?

Speaker C:

I mean, he was the.

Speaker C:

He was the guy.

Speaker C:

He was the, the, the face.

Speaker C:

He was the face.

Speaker A:

Well, he was, he was, he was a great front man, but that's not really, you know, like, when we look at the album, what would you say.

Speaker B:

Sean, the better songs and the better singer are?

Speaker B:

Sammy Hagar.

Speaker B:

The best version of Van Halen is with David Lee Roth, if that makes any sense at all.

Speaker C:

I like what you just said.

Speaker A:

It does.

Speaker A:

Okay, so what, so you pick.

Speaker A:

If you're gonna pick a Van Halen song, like, what would you say the quintessential song is with Roth?

Speaker B:

I love Panama.

Speaker B:

It's my favorite Van Halen my dad ever.

Speaker A:

Okay, now, I think with.

Speaker A:

With Sammy, what are you going with?

Speaker B:

Probably like, why can't this Be Love?

Speaker A:

That's a good one.

Speaker A:

What do you think, Chris?

Speaker C:

I like that.

Speaker C:

I like where you're going with that.

Speaker A:

See, I was.

Speaker A:

I, I, I, I.

Speaker A:

Man, it's so tough because I, I Agree with what Sean said about Hager being the better singer.

Speaker A:

But I think some of the better songs, some of, some of the songs with Sammy are great.

Speaker A:

Like right now is a great, great song.

Speaker B:

Yeah, it's a great song.

Speaker B:

I mean, this is another debate that we've had a lot.

Speaker B:

I don't know if I'm jumping ahead.

Speaker B:

I don't think you're going to.

Speaker B:

But it's the same debate I've always had with Anthrax.

Speaker B:

Anthrax had Joey Belladonna forever and they were like this thrash metal kind of band.

Speaker B:

And then John Bush comes in and they completely changed their sound for four albums.

Speaker B:

And to me that's the best absolute version of that band, even though it's a completely different band.

Speaker B:

So like when John Bush came in, like for Sammy Hagar, he would sing Belladonna stuff, but when he left and Bell Donna came back, he wouldn't sing any of John Bush's stuff.

Speaker A:

I thought this one would be a little bit closer because you guys both went with Roth.

Speaker A:

I was kind of considering the first one.

Speaker A:

Ozzy or Dio?

Speaker A:

But I thought you'd both go Ozzy.

Speaker B:

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker C:

You have to.

Speaker A:

Okay, so this next one is like two questions.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And they both, they both have to do with covers.

Speaker A:

And I think a band that does covers.

Speaker A:

Great.

Speaker A:

Is Metallica.

Speaker A:

All right, so which is better?

Speaker A:

The, the original version, Bob Seger's version of Turn the Page or Metallica's cover?

Speaker A:

Of course, Turn the Page.

Speaker B:

Bob Seeger.

Speaker C:

I'm gonna go Seeger as well.

Speaker B:

Wow.

Speaker A:

See that?

Speaker A:

I didn't expect that.

Speaker B:

Not every song needs to be covered.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

The Metallica does a great version.

Speaker B:

It's a good version.

Speaker B:

But I still love.

Speaker B:

I, I still prefer Seeger's version.

Speaker A:

Okay, then have then the follow up to it.

Speaker A:

Which was the better version of Whiskey in a Jar, Thin Lizzy or Metallica?

Speaker B:

Metallica.

Speaker C:

I'm not, I, I'd have to hear him.

Speaker A:

I'm good.

Speaker B:

Lizzy version is also.

Speaker B:

We gotta remember too.

Speaker B:

Whiskey in the Jar is like a 100 year old song.

Speaker B:

It's not really the Thin Lizzy version.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

It's, it's really like a hundred year old folk song that's been covered a thousand times.

Speaker B:

But Thin Lizzy was the, like the, the first big band that really covered.

Speaker A:

It that had some success with the song.

Speaker B:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker B:

So, I mean.

Speaker B:

Yeah, even though that's good, the Metallica made it a little funky, which I thought was cool.

Speaker A:

Yeah, it was.

Speaker A:

I thought it would Thin Lizzie's song until Metallica covers it.

Speaker A:

I.

Speaker A:

Then a lot of people don't realize what you just said and think it's a Metallica song.

Speaker A:

I think they do own.

Speaker A:

It is really good.

Speaker A:

All right, next question.

Speaker A:

Do the Grammys matter if you're a rock band?

Speaker A:

Do they matter whether you win a Grammy, whether you're nominated for a Grammy?

Speaker C:

I think they matter in your wallet, don't they?

Speaker A:

Yeah, well, you don't win any money for winning the gr.

Speaker C:

No, but, I mean, you get on.

Speaker C:

You're on the book.

Speaker C:

You're made after that.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

You go from Irving Plaza to Radio City overnight or you, you know.

Speaker A:

Do you.

Speaker B:

Yeah, 100%.

Speaker A:

Would you.

Speaker A:

Would you lose credibility when the.

Speaker A:

When, when the Grammys pick Jethro Toll over Metallic for the best hard rock album?

Speaker B:

It's a popularity contest.

Speaker B:

You gotta remember that's.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

Who's the flavor of the year, you know, like this year's Grammy, I think there's like, 10 people in the.

Speaker B:

In the best new artist, and, like, seven of them can win because, like, seven of them have, like, five.

Speaker B:

Number one.

Speaker B:

It's like the.

Speaker B:

The market is so flooded with people now that everybody and their mother's gonna wind up getting a granny within five years anyway, so it really doesn't mean.

Speaker B:

Anyway.

Speaker B:

Yeah, it doesn't matter anymore.

Speaker B:

So.

Speaker A:

It doesn't matter.

Speaker B:

I.

Speaker B:

I don't think it matters at all.

Speaker B:

I don't think it matters at all.

Speaker A:

Chris, you think it matters?

Speaker C:

I.

Speaker C:

I think it's definitely a notch in your belt.

Speaker C:

It's not.

Speaker C:

It's not a fake award.

Speaker C:

There's enough of those out there.

Speaker C:

But you're talking a Grammy.

Speaker C:

It's not like a.

Speaker C:

You know, is it validation 100 itself.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

It's ego.

Speaker B:

Yeah, it's 100 ego too.

Speaker B:

Like.

Speaker B:

But on.

Speaker B:

You know what Chris said to imagine creating a piece of work like this and getting.

Speaker B:

Not getting recognized for something that you put years of your life into, and then you have an opportunity to have some extra success for.

Speaker B:

I mean, I'm sure at some level it's got to be really good, but, I mean, I don't personally give a fuck about any kind of accolades or anything like that.

Speaker A:

I think.

Speaker A:

I think a lot of these award shows are kind of antiquated, and I think that you're going to start to see them peter out.

Speaker A:

I think they'll get lesser and lesser.

Speaker A:

Okay, how about this?

Speaker A:

You guys are.

Speaker A:

You guys are KISS fans.

Speaker A:

Everyone who listens to music is a Kiss fan.

Speaker A:

She kisses new members.

Speaker A:

Tommy Thayer, Eric Carr.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Should Kiss new members wear the band's original makeup?

Speaker A:

So you okay with Tommy Fayer wearing the ace makeup and.

Speaker A:

And Peter, I would think he should have his own.

Speaker C:

They should each have their own spin.

Speaker C:

But yeah, I mean, you can't go out there without makeup if everyone else is doing it, I don't think they should wear the other guys.

Speaker C:

They should do their own thing.

Speaker A:

You think they should have their own identity, right?

Speaker B:

Sure, yeah.

Speaker B:

They're never gonna get their own identity because Paul and Gene own Star man and the Cat, you know, I mean, whatever the other two are.

Speaker B:

You know what I mean?

Speaker B:

Space.

Speaker A:

Spaceman.

Speaker B:

Spaceman in the cat.

Speaker B:

So he.

Speaker B:

They own that.

Speaker B:

So why are they gonna introduce two more characters, which means they're gonna have to share profits with other people then that's all about money and all about brand.

Speaker A:

Because I think it has to do with identity.

Speaker A:

Like, at least when was it Eric Singer did it?

Speaker A:

He.

Speaker A:

He was kind of a version of a cat.

Speaker A:

He was the fox.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

That was in the era, though, where really the money wasn't coming in yet as far as branding and stuff like that.

Speaker A:

The 90s was brutal for any type of a hard rock band.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that was all about grunch.

Speaker A:

ying stadiums to playing like:

Speaker A:

You know, when Vinnie Vincent joins the band, he has his own makeup.

Speaker A:

I'm.

Speaker A:

I've.

Speaker A:

I'm really of the belief that if you're.

Speaker A:

If you' to be in that band and you're going to wear makeup, you know, you should have your own character, I think.

Speaker A:

And if you're talking about money, I think it adds to more money.

Speaker C:

You know, I got this.

Speaker C:

I got to see them in the 90s, and it was their.

Speaker C:

They didn't.

Speaker C:

They didn't have any makeup.

Speaker A:

Oh, so you.

Speaker A:

You saw with Bruce Kulick, that was like the Hot in the Shade era.

Speaker C:

Yeah, it was.

Speaker C:

Where the hell did we see them?

Speaker C:

A really good friend of mine, he grew up with the basis for their opening act, which was Faster Cat.

Speaker C:

And yeah, we got to go, like, backstage and everything.

Speaker C:

It was really cool.

Speaker C:

But they had.

Speaker C:

They didn't have the makeup.

Speaker C:

It was.

Speaker C:

But every.

Speaker C:

There was.

Speaker C:

I would say half of the people in the audience did have their makeup on, so it was like the same thing.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

That'S the fun thing about seeing Kiss, though.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And if you get.

Speaker A:

And they're gonna do like the whole show, how do you do it without the makeup, you know?

Speaker A:

No, One wants to see Gene Simmons running around in blue jeans.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Because he's almost wearing mom jeans at this point.

Speaker C:

Yeah, well, I'll tell you what it was.

Speaker C:

I.

Speaker C:

I don't remember much.

Speaker C:

I remember they had like a full bust of the Statue of Liberty and like at one point, the face comes off and there's lasers and everything.

Speaker C:

Where the hell were we?

Speaker A:

The bnc?

Speaker C:

No, no, it was indoor.

Speaker A:

Was in Jersey.

Speaker A:

I feel like it wasn't 90s.

Speaker A:

Sean, would they been able to sell out in the 90s?

Speaker B:

Yeah, they did bring them.

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

They went through a period, man, where they were not drawing.

Speaker A:

They were almost considered corny.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

They picked it back up though, in the 90s, I believe, though.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, there was.

Speaker C:

There was a nice big.

Speaker C:

A nice second surge of hair.

Speaker B:

Psycho Circus pick it up for them.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I think that was the album to turn them around.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

AC dc.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

You guys familiar with AC dc?

Speaker A:

Are they better with Bon Scott or Brian Johnson?

Speaker B:

Brian Johnson.

Speaker C:

I agree.

Speaker B:

That's a no brainer for me.

Speaker A:

Yeah, it's.

Speaker A:

It's kind of like with.

Speaker A:

Again, it's like with the Raw.

Speaker C:

Thank you for not saying Axl Rose, by the way.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

Well, should.

Speaker A:

Should AC DC continue without Brian Johnson if he can't sing?

Speaker A:

And they do take on guest singers like Axl Rose.

Speaker B:

I saw.

Speaker B:

I saw the axle version.

Speaker B:

I saw the axle version of ACDC at Madison Square Garden.

Speaker B:

And like, the first song, you're like, this is amazing.

Speaker B:

And the second song, you're like, yeah.

Speaker B:

The third song's like, cool.

Speaker B:

And the fourth song's like, this is a bad cover ban.

Speaker B:

And we left the seventh song like, yeah, I'm a GNR fanatic.

Speaker B:

You know this.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And my buddy Scott, who was.

Speaker B:

It was a DJ at the time and he was a dj.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

From wdaj, right?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And he.

Speaker B:

I looked at him, he goes, you feeling?

Speaker B:

I'm feeling.

Speaker B:

I'm like, that you want to get the out of here?

Speaker B:

He goes, we can catch a train right now.

Speaker B:

I'm like, let's get the out of here.

Speaker B:

And we left like seven songs in.

Speaker B:

It just was.

Speaker B:

It was just very underwhelming.

Speaker B:

Wow.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

I guess there is a novelty, but I guess that novelty must wear off kind of quickly, right?

Speaker B:

Very quickly.

Speaker C:

And that's such a.

Speaker C:

Man, that is such a neat.

Speaker C:

Like, that voice has to be, right.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

That's a hard band to try and replicate.

Speaker C:

It's the most important instrument in.

Speaker C:

In that band for sure.

Speaker B:

Oh, yeah, no question.

Speaker A:

What schools did you see them?

Speaker A:

Do.

Speaker B:

They open with, I think, Shoot to Thrill, Hell's Bells.

Speaker B:

That I remember off top of my head.

Speaker A:

Brian Johnson songs?

Speaker B:

Yeah, all the ones are Brian Johnson songs.

Speaker A:

I believe you didn't see him do any bad Scott stuff.

Speaker B:

No, I don't think so.

Speaker A:

I would have liked to see him do.

Speaker B:

It was rough.

Speaker B:

I, I gotta be honest.

Speaker B:

It was not, not the easiest thing to sit through and I mean even.

Speaker C:

And you wanted to like it.

Speaker B:

It's, it's like, it's like mar, it's like seeing like, you know, you're two of like your, your all time favorite things and like you're, you're mixing them together like, like what?

Speaker B:

Like fried chicken and waffles.

Speaker B:

It's, it's fantastic together.

Speaker B:

You know what I mean?

Speaker B:

Then like it's not cooked right.

Speaker C:

Yeah, you know what I mean?

Speaker B:

It's just, it was just off.

Speaker B:

The whole night was off.

Speaker B:

It was so strange.

Speaker A:

All right, I think this next one.

Speaker C:

But for your original, the original question there.

Speaker C:

What was the original question?

Speaker A:

The original question.

Speaker A:

AC DC better than with Bon Scott or Brian Johnson.

Speaker C:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Yeah, okay.

Speaker A:

I, I, I like him with Brian Johnson too, but man, there is some great stuff with Bon Scott.

Speaker B:

Whole lot too deep in the Bon Scott era though.

Speaker B:

That's the thing.

Speaker B:

What?

Speaker A:

Say it again.

Speaker B:

I don't go too deep in the Bon Scott era.

Speaker A:

Like, I know, you know, like whole lot of Rosie, right?

Speaker B:

Yeah, I know the hits, you know, Long Way to the top, that kind of stuff.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I don't, I don't go into album tracks and stuff.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Even though I think highway to Hell, that is probably one of the most coveted songs.

Speaker A:

And that's Brian Johnson.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that highway the hell is that Bon Scott song.

Speaker A:

I'm on the highway.

Speaker B:

Highway to Hell is Brian Johnson.

Speaker A:

I don't.

Speaker A:

Adam.

Speaker A:

Checking on that.

Speaker A:

That's not true.

Speaker A:

Highway to Hell is not Brian Johnson.

Speaker A:

That is, that's Bon Scott.

Speaker A:

Not unless I theory who sings the.

Speaker B:

Song highway to Hell.

Speaker A:

He's gonna say AC DC.

Speaker B:

Who is the singer in ACDC that recorded highway to Hell?

Speaker A:

Even Siri ignores him.

Speaker B:

I know.

Speaker B:

Siri's a cunt.

Speaker A:

Oh, see, that's what you want.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna find it real quick.

Speaker B:

Entertainment.

Speaker A:

I'm, I'm telling you, Sean, you're wrong.

Speaker B:

It's Bon Scott.

Speaker B:

Bon Scott.

Speaker C:

Yep.

Speaker B:

Yeah, you too, Adam.

Speaker C:

It was his, it was his last, his last song.

Speaker B:

I swore.

Speaker B:

This is 48 years.

Speaker B:

Well, I'm gonna be 49.

Speaker B:

I'm hearing this song 45 years.

Speaker B:

I I thought it was freaking Brian Johnson the whole time.

Speaker A:

The thing is, he said it.

Speaker A:

I knew it.

Speaker B:

Conviction behind that.

Speaker A:

You said it with such confidence, you made me start to doubt myself.

Speaker B:

I was.

Speaker B:

I was sure of it.

Speaker B:

I was sure of it.

Speaker A:

You're such an idiot.

Speaker A:

Okay, what's the next one?

Speaker A:

Which song is better?

Speaker A:

Which song is better, Bohemian Rhapsody or Stairway to Heaven?

Speaker C:

Bohemian Rhapsody.

Speaker B:

Bohemian Rhapsody.

Speaker B:

1.

Speaker B:

That's not even a question.

Speaker A:

That.

Speaker A:

This was one I cannot come.

Speaker A:

Come to.

Speaker A:

Even I can't come up with.

Speaker B:

We'll go down as the greatest, probably the greatest song ever written and recorded of all time.

Speaker B:

It's hands down, we think, Chris.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

Greatest of all time.

Speaker C:

I don't know.

Speaker C:

But between those two songs, 100%.

Speaker B:

Now, I'm gonna piggyback off of this.

Speaker B:

Okay, now this is a question I've put on Facebook a couple times.

Speaker B:

I do it, like, once every couple years just to stir the pot a little bit.

Speaker B:

Biggest New Jersey song.

Speaker B:

Is it Born to Run by Springsteen or is it Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi?

Speaker A:

Born to Run by Springsteen.

Speaker C:

My.

Speaker C:

My era would be Living on a Prayer.

Speaker B:

I go with Living on a Prayer as well.

Speaker B:

Even though Born to Run is the better song.

Speaker B:

Living on a Prayer.

Speaker B:

Not many people who are outside of Bruce fans know Born To Run.

Speaker A:

What are you out of your mind?

Speaker B:

I'm.

Speaker B:

No, I am.

Speaker B:

Absolutely not.

Speaker B:

Bruce fans are die hard.

Speaker B:

What's that?

Speaker A:

Everyone knows Born To Run.

Speaker B:

No, not everybody knows Born To Run.

Speaker B:

No.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

If you're gonna pick one song to identify Bruce Springsteen with, it's Born to Run.

Speaker B:

Not to.

Speaker B:

Not to the casual fan.

Speaker B:

It's not.

Speaker A:

It's not.

Speaker A:

It's not like it's some deep track.

Speaker B:

It's Born in the US It's Born in the usa.

Speaker B:

Everybody knows him by.

Speaker A:

Oh, I disagree.

Speaker A:

I think.

Speaker B:

I don't disagree with it, but I say it's.

Speaker B:

It's Living on a Prayer because it's multi generational.

Speaker B:

So it starts with our generation, Chris.

Speaker B:

But, like, people older than us loved it as well.

Speaker B:

And that song has carried on for 30 years after our time, basically.

Speaker A:

And it has kind of like a sequel.

Speaker B:

Yeah, it does.

Speaker B:

It's my life.

Speaker A:

It's my life.

Speaker B:

Yep.

Speaker C:

A lot of people don't remember, but Tommy used to work on the documentary.

Speaker C:

The union's been on strike.

Speaker C:

No, I'm sorry.

Speaker A:

No, we get.

Speaker A:

We get it.

Speaker A:

What?

Speaker A:

What.

Speaker A:

What's his name?

Speaker A:

Gina.

Speaker A:

Is it Gina in it?

Speaker B:

Gina.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

G.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And Bruce's big girl was Wendy.

Speaker A:

Wendy.

Speaker A:

Wendy's Always doing something.

Speaker A:

Wendy's always about to reject Bruce, and then he gets a record contract in every song.

Speaker A:

We get it.

Speaker A:

Okay, Wendy, Gina, they.

Speaker A:

They both suck.

Speaker A:

Speaking of suck, who sucks more out of these three?

Speaker A:

Who's worse, Rebecca Black, Nicki Minaj or Justin Bieber?

Speaker B:

Justin Bieber is a musical genius, number one.

Speaker B:

So let's get that out of the way.

Speaker B:

He's a musical genius.

Speaker B:

Rebecca Black has one song, Friday.

Speaker B:

I don't like it.

Speaker B:

Nicki Minaj has no talent at all.

Speaker A:

But it's the quintessential Friday song.

Speaker B:

Yeah, it really is.

Speaker B:

But Nicki Minaj, I don't believe has a lot of talent.

Speaker B:

So Bieber is what, by far the.

Speaker B:

The king of that conversation.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker A:

So who's worse, though?

Speaker A:

Rebecca Black.

Speaker A:

Who's the worst one?

Speaker B:

Rebecca Black.

Speaker A:

She's the worst.

Speaker A:

What do you think, Chris Gover?

Speaker C:

I.

Speaker C:

I don't have a dog in this fight.

Speaker C:

I don't.

Speaker C:

I don't really know enough of any.

Speaker C:

I don't listen to any of that crap.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I'll chime in for Chris Covid.

Speaker A:

He doesn't like Nicki Minaj.

Speaker C:

I don't like Nicki Minaj.

Speaker A:

He doesn't like Nicki Minaj because he just doesn't like that genre of music.

Speaker A:

And he's not a big fan of the Blacks.

Speaker A:

That was in Jeffrey Paul.

Speaker A:

Who said that?

Speaker A:

That was Chris Covert.

Speaker A:

All right, let's move on.

Speaker A:

Who is.

Speaker A:

Who is the true king?

Speaker A:

Who is the true king?

Speaker A:

Is it Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson?

Speaker B:

Elvis Presley.

Speaker B:

Until.

Speaker B:

Until the end of time.

Speaker A:

What do you think, Chris?

Speaker B:

There's nothing.

Speaker B:

There's not.

Speaker B:

There's.

Speaker B:

There's nothing now without Elvis Presley.

Speaker C:

Well, you're talking rock and roll and pop, right?

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

Totally different things.

Speaker A:

But you still go Elvis music.

Speaker A:

I think if.

Speaker A:

I think if.

Speaker A:

I said.

Speaker A:

I didn't say rock and roll and I didn't say pop.

Speaker A:

I just said the true king.

Speaker A:

Because I think if I said rock and roll, I think it's easy.

Speaker A:

It's Elvis.

Speaker A:

If I said pop, I think I'm.

Speaker A:

You're going Michael Jackson.

Speaker A:

But what if we just said all around entertainer?

Speaker C:

Who are you going with all around entertainer?

Speaker B:

Michael Jackson.

Speaker A:

And what would you say, Chris?

Speaker C:

Well, Michael did up the game with his.

Speaker C:

His tour.

Speaker C:

His live shows were just, wow, you.

Speaker B:

Know, I never saw him live.

Speaker B:

That's one of the only chores.

Speaker C:

Everybody saw the.

Speaker C:

Where he leans forward and.

Speaker A:

Yeah, you know, that's criminal.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, I saw him live and.

Speaker C:

I stayed up for, I don't know, way past My Bedtime to watch Thriller live that.

Speaker C:

When that came out, we all did.

Speaker C:

You remember that?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

That's probably 83, 84.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Wait, you talking about when Michael Jackson did the Motown special?

Speaker C:

No, the vid, like the video with the whole like all the zombies and everything.

Speaker C:

Mtv, the Thriller.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker C:

Did I say Thriller?

Speaker C:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker C:

When that came out, it was like, it was a big thing.

Speaker C:

I don't know anybody that didn't stay up to watch that.

Speaker A:

That was, that wasn't as big because that, that's the album that really like catapulted him to a different stratosphere.

Speaker A:

And I know this because I worked for the label when Bad came out.

Speaker A:

And when Bed came out, it was something like we have never seen.

Speaker A:

Maybe Taylor Swift is at that, at that point now where Bed comes out, they have a special on, on CBS during prime time at 8 o'clock they're gonna debut the, the video of Bed, the long extended version of it.

Speaker A:

And then they're gonna start to play some cuts from the album.

Speaker A:

On that album is Smooth Criminal and Dirty Diana.

Speaker A:

And that's, that's a great album too.

Speaker A:

But I got to see Michael Jackson live.

Speaker A:

I went to the Victory tour.

Speaker A:

This was like one one like the big all time concerts, tours and impossible to get a ticket.

Speaker A:

Day of the show.

Speaker A:

Somebody I knew, someone who they were going with, got sick and do I want to go?

Speaker B:

Right?

Speaker A:

Of course I want to go.

Speaker A:

We go.

Speaker A:

We're sitting all the way up in the Blues in Madison Square Garden, but I'm just thrilled to, to be in the building.

Speaker A:

And the show opens up with kind of like a King Arthur type of theme where like everyone's trying to, you know, people start to come up and try to get.

Speaker A:

Take a sword out of a stone.

Speaker A:

And then when they do, all of a sudden the Jacksons rise up, the scaffolding comes down, all these lights, and they go right into Heartbreak Hotel.

Speaker A:

Well, no, I'm sorry.

Speaker A:

Can you feel it?

Speaker A:

That's what it was.

Speaker A:

Can you feel it?

Speaker A:

Great.

Speaker A:

Great opening.

Speaker B:

When was this?

Speaker A:

No, this had to be early 80s.

Speaker C:

Now I, I owe a lot to that Bad album because if it wasn't for Bad, then Weird Al Yankovic wouldn't have done Fat.

Speaker A:

Fat is great.

Speaker C:

I wouldn't have seen that video and went, oh my God, you can change the lyrics to songs.

Speaker C:

I want to do that.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

In fact, Michael had.

Speaker A:

Or he hadn't come out with Bad yet, but he came out with, with Thriller.

Speaker A:

So it was like.

Speaker A:

So between Bad and Thriller was the Jackson Victory album.

Speaker B:

Yep.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Okay, Chris, you kind of alluded to this before, but let's, let's, let's try this question.

Speaker A:

Which is the best decade for rock music?

Speaker A:

60s, 70s or 80s?

Speaker B:

70S for rock.

Speaker B:

70s.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I think, I think for rocks, 70s as well.

Speaker A:

You know.

Speaker A:

And we've debated this on the show before, although I do love, I think.

Speaker B:

The end of the 60s was phenomenal.

Speaker B:

And I think if it was a little bit longer, you probably could say the 60s.

Speaker B:

But they did the 70s picked up like the tail end of that 60s and then had the whole branch out afterwards of like, you know, the Zeppelins and the who's and stuff like that.

Speaker A:

So you got, you got 60s has the Beatles.

Speaker A:

The 70s is going to have I guess the Stones.

Speaker A:

I'm trying to think who else would kind of own, you know, Zeppelin, Sabbath really make their mark in the Stone.

Speaker B:

The Doors.

Speaker A:

Who would you say the other one is?

Speaker B:

The Doors.

Speaker A:

No, the doors.

Speaker A:

More 60s.

Speaker A:

Were they done the 70s?

Speaker A:

Yeah, like the early 70s.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And then you would go 80s.

Speaker B:

The Jim Morrison version of the Bon Scott version of a Doors.

Speaker A:

There was no Bon Scott version of the Doors.

Speaker C:

My, my girlfriend's uncle started a band called Dr.

Speaker C:

Hook and the Medicine Show.

Speaker A:

Yeah, of course.

Speaker B:

What do they do when you're in.

Speaker A:

Love with a beautiful woman?

Speaker C:

What's that?

Speaker A:

Isn't that big hit when you're in love with a beautiful woman?

Speaker C:

Yep, they did that one.

Speaker C:

They did Sylvia's Mother in fact.

Speaker A:

Sylvia's Mother.

Speaker A:

One of the all time worst songs.

Speaker C:

It's a great song.

Speaker A:

10 cents for five more minutes.

Speaker A:

Oh, that song is off the chart and you're living the song in real time.

Speaker C:

He just passed away a couple weeks ago.

Speaker C:

But he was the, the founding member of the band, man.

Speaker C:

He and he had some stories.

Speaker C:

Oh my God.

Speaker C:

They used to drop acid.

Speaker C:

Shel Silverstein and there's crazy, crazy stories.

Speaker C:

And he played right up and he, he passed, I think it was 85.

Speaker C:

And he would come over here and plug his guitar in and we'd jam out and stuff.

Speaker C:

He was great.

Speaker A:

And did you, and did you jam to Sylvia's mother?

Speaker C:

We never did, but I, I, he had a, he had a, a dirty version of COVID of the Rolling Stone.

Speaker A:

Great song.

Speaker C:

Oh my God.

Speaker C:

Such.

Speaker C:

In fact, there's a part where he does a singing.

Speaker C:

There's a freaky old lady named Go Kane Katie, if you remember that part.

Speaker C:

That's it.

Speaker C:

That's him doing that one.

Speaker C:

But he had an X rated version of it.

Speaker C:

Oh my God.

Speaker C:

It Was so funny.

Speaker C:

We should really record it and put it out.

Speaker A:

If she recorded it, how can you say Sylvia's Mother is a good song?

Speaker C:

Oh, come on.

Speaker A:

For them.

Speaker C:

It was.

Speaker C:

It was a hit for them.

Speaker A:

Oh, my.

Speaker A:

I think it's.

Speaker A:

I think it's a song that you love to hate it so bad.

Speaker C:

Way worse song for them.

Speaker A:

No, it.

Speaker A:

I'm telling you, if we're gonna do a top 10 list of all time terrible songs, it's easily in my top 10 now.

Speaker A:

It's so sappy.

Speaker A:

All right, who's.

Speaker A:

Who's the more influential guitarist of all time?

Speaker A:

I'm gonna give you.

Speaker A:

I'm gonna give you a couple of guys here.

Speaker A:

Is it Jimi Hendrix?

Speaker A:

Now, remember, it's influential.

Speaker A:

Is it Jimi Hendrix?

Speaker A:

Is it Jimmy Page?

Speaker A:

Is it Eric Clapton or Eddie Van Halen?

Speaker B:

All guitar playing stopped after Eddie Van Halen.

Speaker C:

Yngwe.

Speaker C:

Oh, God, Yngwe Malmsteen.

Speaker B:

His leather pants Atrocious.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

What was he, 6, 11?

Speaker A:

He looked like.

Speaker A:

He could have been like, you know, like a small forward for like the Lithuanian.

Speaker B:

Leather pants with a big gun in the front piece anymore.

Speaker B:

Just a FUPA piece.

Speaker C:

You're not wrong.

Speaker C:

You're not wrong at all.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

When you listen to Yngwie, he's fast.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

No.

Speaker A:

Did you pick up on that?

Speaker A:

Yeah, we get it.

Speaker A:

You can shred.

Speaker B:

I.

Speaker B:

I definitely say it's Eddie Van Halen because, I mean, just as a guitar player too, I think all guitar playing kind of everything new stopped after Eddie Van Halen.

Speaker B:

I don't think anything.

Speaker A:

Were you influenced by Eddie Van Halen?

Speaker B:

No.

Speaker B:

I mean, I love.

Speaker B:

I'm not a great guitar player in the least bit for sake.

Speaker B:

But I.

Speaker B:

I still.

Speaker B:

I think he's the last great guitar player, you know, of, like the great greats.

Speaker B:

Yeah, he's the last great one.

Speaker C:

Corey Feldman.

Speaker A:

Did you watch his gustas solo Atrocious Limp Bizkit tour?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

It was horrible.

Speaker A:

What is that?

Speaker B:

It's just speed.

Speaker B:

But like, he's.

Speaker B:

He's hitting the wrong notes.

Speaker B:

He's not even playing scales.

Speaker B:

He's just playing random notes back and forth, forth.

Speaker B:

It was.

Speaker B:

It was horrible.

Speaker B:

There was no.

Speaker C:

I don't.

Speaker C:

I don't play guitar.

Speaker C:

But is.

Speaker C:

It's exactly how I would play the guitar.

Speaker B:

Right, Right.

Speaker C:

Spotlight.

Speaker A:

It's like a guy who wants to be cool playing air guitar, but he gave him like a real guitar.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

But it's not Guitar Hero.

Speaker A:

And he.

Speaker A:

And it's.

Speaker A:

It's real.

Speaker A:

If you look at it, he's playing two.

Speaker A:

Two notes.

Speaker B:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker B:

100.

Speaker A:

And he's just kind of like going back and forth.

Speaker A:

He's not even hitting, like, you know.

Speaker A:

You know, certain strings.

Speaker A:

He's hitting every string.

Speaker C:

Do you think he knows?

Speaker C:

Like, just.

Speaker C:

Has he been fluffed up to the point where he thinks that he's doing, like.

Speaker C:

What he's doing is amazing.

Speaker A:

I think he thinks he's good.

Speaker B:

I will.

Speaker B:

I will say this is an absolute true story, and my best friend will vouch for this.

Speaker B:

We were at Asbury park at the convention hall, and Overkill is filming their live DVD that night, right?

Speaker B:

So we're walking around, we're drinking and having a smoke, whatever.

Speaker B:

And there's this guy running around just going.

Speaker B:

We don't care what you say.

Speaker B:

You.

Speaker A:

That.

Speaker B:

That's one of the Overkill songs, right?

Speaker B:

So he's running up to everybody doing that.

Speaker B:

And as he's doing that, a guy walks up to him and starts playing air guitar along to the guy who is screaming, we don't care what you say.

Speaker B:

Now people are starting to watch these two that are playing air guitar and singing with each, right?

Speaker B:

All of a sudden, this third guy comes out of the blue, and he's playing air drums right behind him.

Speaker B:

So there's this whole air band going.

Speaker B:

I guess this is 25 years ago.

Speaker B:

I could still see this as clear as day.

Speaker B:

And it's on the Overkill dvd, as well as me falling asleep because I had sleep apnea.

Speaker A:

Are you familiar with the song Ascension Millennium?

Speaker B:

No.

Speaker A:

That's one.

Speaker A:

It's a Corey Feldman classic.

Speaker C:

How does he have any classics?

Speaker A:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker A:

Millennion.

Speaker B:

I've never heard.

Speaker A:

You've never seen that?

Speaker C:

No.

Speaker C:

I mean, I may have, and it might have come across on Tick Tock and I just.

Speaker A:

As soon as we're done with this, you have to go and watch the video for Ascension, and then you will go down a rabbit hole of live performances of this.

Speaker A:

When he had the Angels.

Speaker A:

Oh, my gosh.

Speaker C:

I mean, he can't.

Speaker C:

He's gotta know, right?

Speaker A:

Nope.

Speaker A:

No, there's no way.

Speaker A:

At first, you think it's stick.

Speaker A:

Did you ever hear another?

Speaker C:

It looks like it has to be stick.

Speaker A:

No, it's.

Speaker B:

He's legit, dude.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

It's scary how delusional this guy is.

Speaker A:

Are you familiar with his other classic, he.

Speaker A:

Because he's known as the Comeback King.

Speaker A:

You know that, right?

Speaker A:

That he comes out, come back, come back, king.

Speaker A:

End of scene, come.

Speaker A:

You never heard this.

Speaker A:

And he knew he has on It.

Speaker A:

Sean morton.

Speaker A:

He has Dr.

Speaker A:

Dre on it.

Speaker A:

Well, it's not really Dr.

Speaker A:

Dre.

Speaker A:

It's one of his, like, illegitimate children.

Speaker A:

I am not making that up.

Speaker A:

I'm not making that up as a joke.

Speaker A:

He really has, like.

Speaker A:

Like.

Speaker A:

Like a fourth illegitimate kid from Dr.

Speaker A:

Dre.

Speaker A:

That's.

Speaker A:

That's one of the rappers on the song.

Speaker A:

You got.

Speaker A:

Oh, you.

Speaker A:

You got it.

Speaker A:

You got to check out the Corey Feldman.

Speaker B:

As soon as this show's over, I'm gonna go on my Apple Music.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna download the entire Corey Feldman discography, and that's all I'm going to listen to in the gym tomorrow morning.

Speaker C:

You gotta watch.

Speaker C:

Part of it is you have to watch this.

Speaker C:

I mean, he is.

Speaker C:

He's got the moves, baby.

Speaker B:

Like, Limp Bizkit was smart because they went on tour, and Corey was the first act, and there was, like, six acts on that Limp Bizkit tour.

Speaker B:

So he knew by putting them.

Speaker B:

By putting Corey Feldman on, like, first, he's gonna have everybody in that place really early to watch all the other bands.

Speaker B:

We were gonna see the Train Wreck.

Speaker A:

Adam, did you wind up going to that?

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Adam's probably scratching his ass right now.

Speaker A:

Respond.

Speaker A:

We were gonna go.

Speaker A:

Me and Adam talked about.

Speaker A:

I think up until the day of, we were.

Speaker A:

We were really considering going, and all because of Corey Feldman.

Speaker B:

Exactly.

Speaker B:

But I can't sit there.

Speaker C:

I.

Speaker C:

I wouldn't mind.

Speaker C:

I would go, of course.

Speaker A:

Chris, be honest.

Speaker A:

Who doesn't like to watch A Train Wreck?

Speaker C:

I mean, absolutely, dude.

Speaker A:

Matt Bridgestone do comedy.

Speaker A:

I'm all right.

Speaker A:

Jesus Christ.

Speaker A:

I'm gonna.

Speaker B:

It's a Tuesday night gig in October.

Speaker B:

You're never gonna get again.

Speaker B:

Jeff.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's another friend off the.

Speaker A:

I cross off the list.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

A rock music's days better.

Speaker A:

A rock music's better days behind us.

Speaker A:

Have we seen rock music hit its pox?

Speaker A:

Romana.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I think.

Speaker A:

I think we had a golden age.

Speaker B:

I think we have.

Speaker B:

I think it was kind of with the end of the.

Speaker B:

I think the Foo Fighters are the less big monster rock band.

Speaker B:

And, you know, there were some drips and drabs, like, you know, Greta Van Fleet and Dirty Honey.

Speaker B:

We've always talked about them, but I.

Speaker B:

I've been saying this for a long time, and country music is by far the biggest genre that is out there right now.

Speaker B:

Nothing can come close to hitting country music.

Speaker B:

And there's so much spin off.

Speaker B:

Well, not spin off, but, like, more collaboration with country, with rock.

Speaker B:

Like, even, like, Five Finger Death Punch last year.

Speaker B:

Toured with Brantley Gilbert, who's a big country singer you see in a lot of festivals.

Speaker B:

They're doing, like, Nickelback and Shined down one night, and then Luke Combs and Luke Bryan the second night.

Speaker B:

So there's a.

Speaker B:

There's a big crossover with, like, whatever rock is out there with country.

Speaker B:

But, yeah, rock is definitely.

Speaker B:

It's leveled off for a while.

Speaker B:

Nothing really good is new that's come out in a long, long time.

Speaker A:

It's amazing the.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

The size of the crowds that some of these country artists are getting.

Speaker A:

Like, who's this guy?

Speaker A:

Morgan Whelan?

Speaker B:

Morgan wallen.

Speaker B:

Sold out three night.

Speaker B:

Three nights at MetLife Stadium.

Speaker A:

That's 80,000 each night.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Zach Bryan, who.

Speaker B:

You know, you've never even.

Speaker B:

You don't even know what Zach Brian looks like.

Speaker B:

Right, Right.

Speaker B:

You don't even know, you know, maybe one song of his.

Speaker B:

This guy is a monster.

Speaker B:

And he sold two nights at MetLife.

Speaker B:

Again, it's by far the biggest genre.

Speaker B:

You're not getting.

Speaker B:

You're not getting many rock bands.

Speaker B:

I mean, you, too, can sell out MetLife.

Speaker B:

Bon Jovi maybe can do one night at MetLife, maybe.

Speaker A:

No problem.

Speaker B:

No, you could do maybe one night.

Speaker A:

Oh, yes.

Speaker A:

This is doing two nights there.

Speaker B:

That's.

Speaker B:

That's different, though.

Speaker B:

I mean, that's a.

Speaker B:

That's a reunion thing.

Speaker B:

So that's kind of.

Speaker B:

And System of Downs doing two nights there, too.

Speaker B:

So that's kind of.

Speaker B:

But consistently, that's another one that I don't get, that.

Speaker A:

That tour.

Speaker A:

How are they big enough to play?

Speaker A:

And how is My Chemical Romance with Death for cutie playing MetLife?

Speaker B:

It's because that MetLife is the home base for My Chemical Romance, too.

Speaker A:

So that's a Philadelphia as well, that, you know, that's the tour.

Speaker B:

Well, they're.

Speaker B:

They're a Jersey Philly band.

Speaker B:

You know, they were from Belleville, so they always had the home, the hometown with it.

Speaker B:

Dude, that album was monster.

Speaker B:

That.

Speaker B:

That welcome to the Black Parade was.

Speaker B:

one of the biggest albums in:

Speaker A:

Well, let me ask you something.

Speaker A:

I'm glad you brought up that.

Speaker A:

That album and that song.

Speaker A:

Would you say that is this generation's Bohemian Rhapsody, then structured.

Speaker B:

It's you.

Speaker B:

It's definitely inspired by it.

Speaker B:

By.

Speaker B:

For sure Again, there's not a lot of good rock that you can compare that to.

Speaker B:

So, I mean, if you're gonna just throw that one example up there, I would say, yeah, there's not really rock.

Speaker B:

A lot of rock opuses that have come out in the last 15 years, you know.

Speaker A:

Are you familiar with the Smoke riff?

Speaker C:

No.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Like Bohemian Rhapsody, it has different tempos, and it feels like it's three different songs, and they're all great.

Speaker A:

I think it's classic, and for some reason, I just don't feel that welcome to the Black Parade gets enough love.

Speaker B:

Like.

Speaker B:

No, it's a great.

Speaker A:

I thought it.

Speaker A:

I thought it would propel the band to, you know, to almost like a queen, like, status, and it never did.

Speaker C:

Music.

Speaker C:

Music's tricky like that.

Speaker A:

Say again?

Speaker C:

Music's tricky like that.

Speaker A:

It is tricky like that.

Speaker A:

Who's the best front person in rock history?

Speaker A:

Is it Freddie Mercury?

Speaker A:

Mick Jagger?

Speaker A:

Janet Japlin?

Speaker B:

Freddie Mercury?

Speaker A:

What do you think, Chris?

Speaker C:

I tell you.

Speaker C:

Is that my only choices right there?

Speaker A:

No, you could.

Speaker A:

You could.

Speaker A:

You could put something else in there.

Speaker A:

I'm just giving you a couple examples.

Speaker C:

One random.

Speaker C:

And I'm not even a huge fan, but I saw.

Speaker C:

I saw Steven Tyler with no.

Speaker C:

Like, not.

Speaker C:

No crazy pyrotechnics or lasers or anything, but I saw him light a crowd up and get everybody moving Aerosmith style again.

Speaker C:

And that was in the 90s.

Speaker C:

That was the.

Speaker C:

What was that?

Speaker A:

They taught a lot through the 90s.

Speaker A:

They kind of get back.

Speaker C:

Yeah, this was the.

Speaker C:

Was it Eat the Rich or loving?

Speaker B:

It's like 97, 98.

Speaker C:

Yeah, it was late 90s, but I.

Speaker A:

That's great.

Speaker A:

Era.

Speaker C:

Everyone was doing all the pyrotechnics.

Speaker C:

Everything.

Speaker C:

They had everything at their disposal.

Speaker C:

They didn't need it.

Speaker C:

He crushed it.

Speaker A:

Whether you're.

Speaker C:

And I'm not a huge Aerosmith fan.

Speaker C:

That's why I remember it.

Speaker C:

I'm like.

Speaker C:

I.

Speaker C:

I didn't.

Speaker C:

I wasn't crazy about the show, but he did amazing.

Speaker C:

It was amazing.

Speaker B:

Yeah, he's a quintessential front man, but he can actually sing, though, too, which was a bonus.

Speaker B:

You know, he's a way better singer than David Lee Roth was.

Speaker C:

Well, he's the one.

Speaker C:

Because I remember when they did Walk this Way with Run dmc, and at that time, I had my fat laces on, and I was trying to break dance like everybody else, but.

Speaker C:

And that was.

Speaker C:

That was another one of those.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker C:

They can do that and put two songs, you know, two genres together like that.

Speaker C:

And.

Speaker B:

And that was how I was introduced to Aerosmith, actually.

Speaker C:

Yeah, me too.

Speaker A:

Now, if we ask this question to Adam, he would say it'd probably be the lead singer of Wet Leg, because when.

Speaker A:

When Wet Leg breaks into Chase Lounge, you know, the 12 people are at the show, go pretty crazy.

Speaker A:

And six of them were there to see the Disco Biscuits.

Speaker C:

I had 12 people at a show last week I should start doing.

Speaker B:

Speaking of Matt Bridgestone.

Speaker A:

Two references and one judge.

Speaker A:

Too much.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Freddie Murphy was a great friend.

Speaker A:

I didn't have a Jagger.

Speaker A:

Jag is so good.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I mean, Freddy was just everything, though, you know, he was the.

Speaker B:

He was the quintessential showman, too.

Speaker B:

Like, you could be a great front man and not be a great singer, but Freddie was an amazing frontman and the probably the greatest male rock singer of all time, too.

Speaker B:

On top of it.

Speaker C:

Really good head.

Speaker B:

Yeah, that's true, too.

Speaker C:

They don't talk about that.

Speaker A:

Hey, gives really good head.

Speaker A:

Well, because he had the teeth.

Speaker A:

It was the extra teeth.

Speaker C:

That's right.

Speaker A:

How does teeth.

Speaker A:

How's the teeth make him sing at a higher octave?

Speaker B:

It's nothing to do with his teeth.

Speaker A:

Teeth.

Speaker B:

Nothing to do with his vocal rage.

Speaker A:

Did you see the movie Bohemian Rhapsody?

Speaker B:

Yeah, a million times.

Speaker A:

He says that.

Speaker A:

He goes, I have the extra teeth.

Speaker A:

Then let me sing at a higher octave.

Speaker B:

It's a joke, Jeffrey.

Speaker B:

You can't joke.

Speaker A:

He wasn't making a joke.

Speaker B:

That's like saying Usain Bolt is.

Speaker B:

Is the greatest sprinter in the world because his middle finger is shorter than his left hand because of the aerodynamics.

Speaker A:

Everybody knows that.

Speaker C:

And his last name is Bolt.

Speaker A:

His name is Bolt.

Speaker A:

You can't be.

Speaker A:

Your name can't be Hussein Bolt, okay?

Speaker A:

And you run like.

Speaker A:

Like.

Speaker A:

Like.

Speaker A:

Like a 7,000, 440.

Speaker A:

Like you.

Speaker A:

If your name is Bolt, you're running a 4, 3, 40.

Speaker B:

That's true.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Don't worry, Chris.

Speaker A:

We're only.

Speaker A:

We're only scratching the surface with these questions.

Speaker A:

We only got a few more to go.

Speaker A:

Biggest Rock and Roll hall of Fame, Snub.

Speaker A:

Biggest Rock and Roll hall of Fame, Snub.

Speaker A:

Is it Iron Maiden?

Speaker A:

Is it the Smiths?

Speaker A:

Is it Motorhead?

Speaker A:

Is it Grand Funk Railroad?

Speaker A:

Or would it be Jethro Told?

Speaker A:

What would you guys say?

Speaker B:

Iron Maiden.

Speaker B:

Iron Maiden, then Told, then Motorhead.

Speaker A:

I was glad you put Poland.

Speaker C:

Yeah, I was thinking tall Motorhead.

Speaker C:

I don't know.

Speaker C:

Iron Maiden's definitely up.

Speaker C:

Up there.

Speaker A:

Who'd you say?

Speaker C:

Iron Maiden's definitely up there.

Speaker A:

Definitely number one.

Speaker A:

I'm.

Speaker A:

If I'm ranking them, I'm probably ranking them as Iron Maiden, Smith's Tall, Grand Funk Railroad, and then Motorhead.

Speaker A:

But I think these are.

Speaker A:

All these bands are worthy of get.

Speaker A:

Being in.

Speaker B:

I think.

Speaker B:

I think that all out of that five.

Speaker B:

All five are without question.

Speaker B:

Should Go in now.

Speaker C:

This is.

Speaker C:

All right, so we were talking about the Grammys earlier, right?

Speaker C:

I mean, obviously, the hall of Fame is not a.

Speaker C:

It's not just a.

Speaker C:

A notch in the belt.

Speaker C:

That's like the.

Speaker C:

That's the major league.

Speaker A:

That's the.

Speaker C:

As big as you can get.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker C:

It's the whole.

Speaker B:

It's as big as you can get, but it's.

Speaker B:

It's kind of over the last 20 years or so until, like, the Music hall of Fame and not the Rock and Roll hall of Fame, when you start seeing, you know, things like, you know, Johnny Cash, even though he's a great, you know, he's in the.

Speaker B:

In the Rock and Roll hall of Fame and.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I mean, he's a country guy.

Speaker B:

You know what I mean?

Speaker B:

I love Johnny Cash, but he's not a rock and roller.

Speaker B:

But he had the influence on rock and roll, you know.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Well, how was Missy Elliott in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame, but Iron Maiden and Grand Railroad?

Speaker C:

Exactly.

Speaker B:

So it became a political thing.

Speaker B:

And that.

Speaker B:

That.

Speaker B:

That lost its luster really, really early on.

Speaker B:

Like, the late 90s had started to.

Speaker B:

To start phasing out.

Speaker C:

So a lot of these, like in the Grammys, too, like, what is the.

Speaker C:

What's the vetting system about?

Speaker C:

What is the.

Speaker C:

You have to be on the panel or is.

Speaker C:

It isn't.

Speaker C:

You're not voted in by the masses.

Speaker C:

Right.

Speaker A:

It's a rock fan vote.

Speaker A:

Means 25 years.

Speaker B:

It's 25 years from the day of your first release.

Speaker A:

I think he's asking about, how do you get in?

Speaker A:

And there is.

Speaker A:

There is a fan component, but it means absolutely nothing.

Speaker A:

It's really the voters.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And the writers of the Rock and Roll hall of Fame, people who are already inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame have.

Speaker A:

Have a vote in it as well.

Speaker C:

Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

Okay.

Speaker A:

So that.

Speaker A:

That's why I think, like, Tom Morello is very, very active in the Rock and Hall of Fame.

Speaker A:

Springsteen is very active in the hall of Fame.

Speaker A:

That's why the E Street bank got in, as you know.

Speaker A:

They're.

Speaker A:

They're in.

Speaker A:

The E Street Band as a separate entity is in.

Speaker A:

Okay, but Jethro Tall and the Smiths aren't.

Speaker B:

Yeah, it's like.

Speaker B:

It's not like baseball, where it's like the Writers Guild where you get.

Speaker B:

All the baseball writers are deciding who's going into the hall of Fame or not.

Speaker B:

You know, it's another.

Speaker A:

That's another shitty entity, too.

Speaker B:

There's.

Speaker B:

There's a bunch of different factors for the Rock Roll hall of Fame.

Speaker A:

The bas.

Speaker A:

The baseball writers, you know, they put in who they like, and if the guy is a bad guy, regardless of.

Speaker A:

Of his stats, they don't put him in.

Speaker B:

And they put people in the hall of Fame too, for pressure reasons too.

Speaker B:

Like, I'll never forget when I went.

Speaker B:

I went to the one induction in Brooklyn for when Nirvana went into the hall of Fame, and first person that came out was Joan Jett.

Speaker B:

And she filled in for Kerr and they did Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Speaker B:

And it was.

Speaker B:

It was just absolutely amazing.

Speaker B:

And then when they were done, they were like, how the hell is Joan Jett not in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame?

Speaker B:

That was the first thing that came out of Dave Grohl's mouth.

Speaker B:

The place went nuts.

Speaker B:

And then instantly, the next day they start talking about next year's class and how Joan, Jen, she got in the next year.

Speaker A:

How many, how many years we've been doing the show for?

Speaker A:

Are we on our fifth year now, Sean?

Speaker C:

Yeah, I'm just in a fucking phone call yesterday.

Speaker C:

Fuck you guys.

Speaker A:

Didn't know you until like a couple of months ago now.

Speaker A:

I knew of Chris Co.

Speaker A:

I didn't really like know him.

Speaker A:

No, no.

Speaker A:

But.

Speaker A:

But how many years have.

Speaker A:

Have we been talking about how Pat Banata has been overlooked and she just got in?

Speaker B:

Yeah, a lot of people.

Speaker A:

They should put.

Speaker B:

They should put a halt on it for like two years and just put the people in that just haven't been in, like the Maidens, the Tolls and all that.

Speaker B:

All of those kind of people.

Speaker B:

And then like, you know, other bands that are newer that are on the cusp of getting in, like Coldplay and bands like that are going to be eligible this year can wait a few more years.

Speaker A:

You know, there's no way Coldplay has to get in before they get in on first.

Speaker B:

They get on a first ballot without question, right?

Speaker B:

Without question.

Speaker A:

What are they getting in, like, you know, sleepiest music.

Speaker A:

Like music did take Ambien with.

Speaker B:

There's a lot of people who aren't like, of the newer generation too, that are not in like Melissa Etheridge.

Speaker B:

Everything belongs in there.

Speaker B:

I'm just.

Speaker A:

I'm just cranky.

Speaker A:

I like.

Speaker A:

I do like a couple songs by Coldplay.

Speaker A:

They're not terrible.

Speaker C:

I released hairy vagina in:

Speaker C:

I don't think I'm gonna be first ballad, but 25 years after the first release.

Speaker C:

All right, I can't wait.

Speaker A:

Let me tell You.

Speaker A:

That's.

Speaker A:

That's one of my favorite songs.

Speaker A:

That is your ascension moment millennium, Mr.

Speaker A:

Feldman.

Speaker C:

That is my magnum opus, my friend.

Speaker C:

That is my Sistine Chapel right there stage with that one.

Speaker A:

Who's the best all time US Rock group?

Speaker A:

Okay, Is it.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

All time best US American rap rock group.

Speaker A:

Is it the Beach Boys?

Speaker A:

Is the Eagles?

Speaker A:

Or is it Aerosmith?

Speaker B:

No, it's Guns N Roses.

Speaker A:

Oh, you think so, huh?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

100.

Speaker A:

You're putting guns N'ROSES okay, with that extremely limited catalog over the Eagles and Aerosmith, huh?

Speaker B:

100.

Speaker B:

A hundred percent.

Speaker A:

Because that, that six years that they.

Speaker B:

Were on top equaled 20 years of arrows.

Speaker A:

Who's the greatest British rock band of all time?

Speaker B:

Rolling Stones.

Speaker C:

Who you think, Chris, I gotta go Beatles.

Speaker C:

Just because.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

And you're gonna put Guns and Roses against the Rolling Stones and the Beatles?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

No way.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Oh, man.

Speaker A:

I would have to think Boys or Aerosmith.

Speaker C:

Well, we're not talking catalogs, right?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I'm just talking about the whole rock and roll attitude that, you know, when I think of rock and roll, I don't think of Good Vibrations, you know what I mean?

Speaker B:

I think of welcome to the Jungle.

Speaker A:

That's right.

Speaker A:

What are you gonna say, Chris?

Speaker C:

I was thinking like, you know, when I think Aerosmith, I automatically think of New England Beach Boys.

Speaker C:

I think of California, Guns N'ROSES I think everywhere.

Speaker C:

For sure.

Speaker C:

They.

Speaker C:

They didn't.

Speaker C:

I mean, they are la, but they're.

Speaker C:

They were a whole world of hit after hit after hit album.

Speaker B:

Exactly.

Speaker B:

I mean, it was just.

Speaker B:

It was unbelievable.

Speaker B:

That period was just.

Speaker B:

Like I said, it was only like six years.

Speaker B:

Like, the Beatles really were only around seven years.

Speaker B:

When you think about it, it was like 62 to 69.

Speaker B:

I think it was Beatles on.

Speaker A:

Yeah, they're a nine year band.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

Basically, Guns N Roses is the same thing.

Speaker B:

When you really think about it.

Speaker B:

It was like 86 to like 93.

Speaker A:

Again, the Beatles would put out two, sometimes three albums a year.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker B:

I mean, look, I'm not comparing.

Speaker B:

I'm not comparing the catalogs.

Speaker B:

I'm not comparing the.

Speaker B:

The magnitude of the music.

Speaker B:

I'm just talking about what they both did in that time frame.

Speaker B:

Like, the Beatles created music, but Guns N Roses changed rock and roll again, you know, in that.

Speaker B:

In that time period.

Speaker B:

So that's, that's kind of the direction I was going with that.

Speaker C:

But the Beatles never threw a TV at a hotel window.

Speaker B:

That's true too.

Speaker A:

Oh, sure.

Speaker A:

Everybody knew that Ringo was.

Speaker A:

He was a Ringo.

Speaker A:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker A:

Like He.

Speaker A:

He slapped bitches up everybody.

Speaker A:

Everyone's very familiar with that.

Speaker A:

Those stories, along with Corey Feldman.

Speaker A:

Which is the better album?

Speaker A:

Album.

Speaker A:

Which is the better album?

Speaker A:

Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys or Dark side of the Moon by Pink Floyd?

Speaker B:

Pet Sounds.

Speaker B:

Pet Sounds.

Speaker B:

Maybe the greatest album ever recorded on, like, all around in music.

Speaker B:

Might be one of the most perfect record ever recorded.

Speaker A:

In five years of doing this show, this is probably the thing that surprised me the most, that answer from you right there.

Speaker A:

Surprised?

Speaker B:

Really?

Speaker B:

Why?

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

I, first of all, I didn't.

Speaker A:

I don't think you're that bright, and you have that much depth and you're really shy.

Speaker A:

Oh, you.

Speaker A:

You spent five years insulting me every single time.

Speaker A:

Every single time.

Speaker A:

Oh, my God.

Speaker A:

What do you think, Chris?

Speaker B:

I take offense to that, actually.

Speaker B:

I take offense to that.

Speaker C:

I, I, I really like Pink Floyd.

Speaker C:

So that's, I mean, this, this is just an opinion technically.

Speaker C:

The musically, I mean, Pet Sounds is way up there and their best, for sure.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

I think when it comes to musically, you could be right with Pet Sounds with the introduction of all the different instruments and sounds, and you have basically the Wrecking Crew that's playing on this.

Speaker A:

It's phenomenal.

Speaker A:

But I think when it comes to engineering, I think Alan Parsons, who produces this album, really brings some great innovations.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

I think they're, they're both kind of game changer albums.

Speaker A:

And for me, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.

Speaker A:

I'm taking, like, the Switzerland ground here.

Speaker A:

It depends on which way the wind blows and what I'm into at that time where I'm super into the Beach Boys, and that's all I'll listen to and I'll say Pet Sounds.

Speaker A:

And right now I'm in one of those, like, you know, I love David Gilmore.

Speaker A:

I think he, he's probably one of the most underrated guitarists, singer songwriters who ever lived.

Speaker A:

And I'm in a Pink Floyd state of mind right now.

Speaker B:

Now, you being bisexual makes a lot.

Speaker A:

More sense right now.

Speaker A:

You understand me a little bit more.

Speaker B:

I get you.

Speaker A:

Now.

Speaker A:

I want you to understand the depth and the complexity of me.

Speaker A:

Sure, I like a good hairy vagina, but who doesn't like a ball sack on that nose every once in a while?

Speaker A:

And we all drank human blood, right, Chris?

Speaker C:

We've all been there.

Speaker A:

That's right.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Don't judge me.

Speaker A:

All right, last one, last one.

Speaker A:

And then we really got to end this, the show.

Speaker A:

And we're perfect on time, too, Adam.

Speaker A:

I'm that good.

Speaker A:

Best debut album is it Boston?

Speaker A:

Boston's debut album.

Speaker A:

Is it Pearl jams 10?

Speaker A:

Is it guns N Roses?

Speaker A:

Appetite for Destruction?

Speaker B:

Appetite.

Speaker B:

It's Appetite.

Speaker B:

Jeff.

Speaker B:

I'm going Boston Jeff.

Speaker B:

Come on.

Speaker A:

They're great.

Speaker B:

Really fun episode.

Speaker A:

It's a great album.

Speaker A:

No one gives that album enough love.

Speaker B:

How do you even compare that, dude?

Speaker A:

Because Rock and roll band Tom Schultz introduction of the rockman.

Speaker A:

The rockman.

Speaker A:

Guns and Roses didn't introduce any.

Speaker A:

Any musical apparatuses.

Speaker B:

No, they just wrote the greatest debut album of all time.

Speaker B:

That's all they did, Boston.

Speaker B:

No, it's not.

Speaker B:

It's not.

Speaker B:

I would tell you this.

Speaker B:

I'm going to go this.

Speaker B:

You take those three.

Speaker B:

I go GNR.

Speaker B:

And then a close second is Pearl Jams 10.

Speaker B:

And a distant 48th is the Boston debut album.

Speaker A:

Shocked.

Speaker A:

Everything I said about you before about.

Speaker A:

About Pet Sounds, I take back you're even dumber than I thought.

Speaker A:

You're dumb.

Speaker A:

You have the depth of a.

Speaker A:

Of a thumbnail or a thimble.

Speaker A:

I don't know which one.

Speaker B:

Thumbnail, dipshit.

Speaker B:

You know, you're the worst.

Speaker B:

This is.

Speaker B:

This is why I was in the Friars Club, because I can actually roast people.

Speaker B:

And you just call people a dummy head and.

Speaker A:

Oh, God.

Speaker A:

And Rickles made a living out of.

Speaker A:

Call people a hockey puck.

Speaker A:

Hey, Chris.

Speaker A:

Ya hockey puck.

Speaker A:

Yeah, try and come back from that one, smart guy.

Speaker A:

I just called you a hockey puck.

Speaker C:

I've seen five times, three times with my son.

Speaker C:

It was my son's first concert I've seen him as.

Speaker C:

I was a little disappointed.

Speaker C:

The last one, but still debut album by far.

Speaker B:

That was the last.

Speaker B:

The last tour.

Speaker B:

I said the same thing.

Speaker B:

I.

Speaker B:

I'm so.

Speaker B:

From what I've heard that this year they're doing the.

Speaker B:

This year into next.

Speaker B:

So 20, 25 and 26, they're doing the farewell tour.

Speaker B:

It's gonna be the four.

Speaker B:

It's the 40th year, so they're gonna do the Farewell tour.

Speaker A:

Do you see the.

Speaker B:

I don't know.

Speaker A:

I'm gonna go in Europe right now.

Speaker B:

What's that?

Do you see the bands that are opening up for them?

Speaker B:

Yeah, I got some Monsters too.

Speaker A:

I hope that comes over to the States.

Speaker B:

Yeah, they always have big.

Speaker B:

I mean, when.

Speaker B:

When I saw them, I think Lenny Kravitz opened for them twice and then I was Smashing Pumpkins, I think, open for them.

Speaker A:

That's the last one.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker B:

And I think Chris Stapleton opened for him too.

Speaker C:

The one time I didn't see that one.

Speaker A:

That's.

Speaker A:

That's.

Speaker A:

I saw him with Mammoth Open for them.

Speaker B:

Yep.

Speaker B:

And they're playing.

Speaker B:

They're playing a great show.

Speaker B:

Mammoth with Three Days Grace and Alice in Chains down in Camden.

Speaker C:

And I saw him with Faith no More and Metallica.

Speaker B:

That's a monster show, though, dude.

Speaker C:

It was crazy.

Speaker C:

That's when they had the full.

Speaker C:

Use your illusion.

Speaker C:

The whole orchestra and everything was nuts, man.

Speaker B:

I never saw that tour.

Speaker B:

I was.

Speaker B:

I was probably 15, so I didn't have really a way to get to Giant Stadium by myself.

Speaker C:

Oh, it was one of those.

Speaker C:

I'm sleeping at their house and they're sleeping at our house.

Speaker C:

And yes, our one friend was old enough to drive us and buy beer.

Speaker A:

Are you guys old enough to catch Guns and Roses with Metallica?

Speaker B:

That's what he's talking about.

Speaker C:

Yep.

Speaker C:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Oh, and Faith no More opened up that show.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Way to pay attention, Jeff.

Speaker A:

Like, who even remembers Faith no More on that tour?

Speaker C:

You want it all, but you can't have it.

Speaker C:

That's the only thing I remember.

Speaker A:

They didn't do easy.

Speaker B:

Easy wasn't out yet.

We were walking in as they were closing, so.

Speaker C:

And they were closing with you want it all.
