[UNKNOWN]: Hello everyone and welcome to a music of the Matt Remix on the voices of rustling podcast network.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm your host Andrew Rich joined today by a returning guest my pal Colah the larger hello again Colah Hello Andrew Thank you so much again for having me.
[UNKNOWN]: It's always an honor and a pleasure And I got to give you my punch card if I get some more I get a free one
[UNKNOWN]: You know, so it's pretty smooth.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: No, right.
[UNKNOWN]: No, it's like I said, it's one of my favorite podcasts.
[UNKNOWN]: I always like playing along with your topics because they're always interesting and meaty and oftentimes right up my alley and so I'm happy to play along.
[UNKNOWN]: I believe me.
[UNKNOWN]: You can call me anytime for this.
[UNKNOWN]: This is one of my favorite things to do ever.
[UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, glad you're back.
[UNKNOWN]: Definitely.
[UNKNOWN]: Last time you were on, it was the Halloween episode last year, and that was a lot of fun.
[UNKNOWN]: This episode will be a lot less spooky, still a bit dark at times, I'd say, because this episode is called Personal Demons, and no, it's not a Finn Baller episode.
[UNKNOWN]: I did that one already with Leave Malone for years ago.
[UNKNOWN]: It's also not a Dale Torbork episode, either, folks, I'm sorry to say.
[UNKNOWN]: No, personal demons is a term that I heard a lot growing up as I was becoming more and more of a smirk, and, you know, reading more stories about wrestlers and their, um, their lifestyle choices shall we say, um, oh, this guy is a lot of personal demons, um, I heard that about Jig Roberts a lot, it's almost not whole.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, personal demons and Jig, it's like the first guy you think of.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, him Scott Hall, you know, it's it's basically just slang for drug and alcohol problems, which, um,
[UNKNOWN]: Boy, howdy.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: There are a lot of that in Pro Wrestling over the years.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's a problem with society in general, really, but wrestling has had more than its fair share of guys with personal demons, and guys like Jake were able to beat them.
[UNKNOWN]: Sean Michaels, of course, Dustin Rhodes, Sean Waltman, guys like that.
[UNKNOWN]: but there's a bunch of guys who didn't.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, there's an entire Wikipedia article for premature deaths in wrestling.
[UNKNOWN]: And it's a pretty big list of guys and girls who have died in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.
[UNKNOWN]: Primarily, if three things, heart attacks, suicide, and drug overdoses.
[UNKNOWN]: And those heart attacks will all come with drug use.
[UNKNOWN]: I was gonna say, some of those are combos as well.
[UNKNOWN]: So yeah,
[UNKNOWN]: being wrestling fans' color, we are well aware of what these personal demons can do to people, for sure.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and the personal demons is quite the euphemism, isn't it?
[UNKNOWN]: Did Vince come up with that?
[UNKNOWN]: I feel like it's a vincism.
[UNKNOWN]: Or has it just been something that's been used for out?
[UNKNOWN]: Vince always used that, and it's quite the euphemism because demons can mean anything.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, uh, so including events right now.
[UNKNOWN]: No kidding.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, what talk about a guy with demons, uh, or is one, uh, but yeah, no, with, uh, that list of wrestlers.
[UNKNOWN]: that have died in their 20s and 30s is so staggering that it's almost astounding.
[UNKNOWN]: For a while, it became almost astounding that wrestlers lived past that, because like, you know, and I think a lot of it is because, and thankfully it seems like that the culture is really shifted now, and so we're not really seeing a lot of,
[UNKNOWN]: We're seeing more guys last longer and longer.
[UNKNOWN]: And I think it's due to technology and everything, more awareness as well.
[UNKNOWN]: And I think also it's just like, I think there's more stuff to do other than just sitting your room and do a bunch of blow or whatever.
[UNKNOWN]: It's like, I'll never forget Scott Hall talking about his son touring with the bucks.
[UNKNOWN]: in Japan.
[UNKNOWN]: He's like, all these kids do is just play the video games, man.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm great.
[UNKNOWN]: This is awesome.
[UNKNOWN]: I was getting all sorts of trouble.
[UNKNOWN]: You can imagine what that meant with Scott Hall.
[UNKNOWN]: Um, you know, and so he, you know, for the, that culture shift to happen, it is, it is something I'm grateful for, you know, me being such a hedonist myself, um, it is something in wrestling, I'm, I'm grateful for that the, the culture has really shifted to where I think guys like the young bucks.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, they are older than a lot of guys on that list that you're, that you're referencing.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's, and I think it's just because the, the culture shifted, not only is the work easier, not I mean all that stuff is true, but I think honestly a lot of it is just because there's just different stuff to do other than just destroy yourself, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, I mean you look at that classic wrestling lifestyle like territory days.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, the 80s and 90s into the 2000s even.
[UNKNOWN]: You can see why these habits are able to form and fester because, yeah, you're on the road for 300 days a year, you're away from your family, you're away from your home, you're taking bumps on rings that feel like concrete, you're tired because of all the traveling, you're feeling the aches and the pains constantly.
[UNKNOWN]: So what do you do?
[UNKNOWN]: You drink, you smoke, you snort, you inject, you gobble up pills and you party to, you know,
[UNKNOWN]: Or as you say, just to kill time and, you know, low and behold, that lifestyle, just to set up with you sooner or later, and yeah, as you said, as well, I think a positive thing about wrestling nowadays is that at least for the big companies.
[UNKNOWN]: the schedule is a lot less demanding and wrestlers do tend to take better care of their bodies nowadays and they're a bit more aware of that kind of stuff too um... you know uh... you mentioned video games i could i think of the undertaker you can play and go guys nowadays they don't drink jacquinozani more and would have a strip club you know those are knives with their life with their bag or whatever i mean i i personally i'll take
[UNKNOWN]: Star do Valley over guys in their 30s killing over, you know, that's just me though.
[UNKNOWN]: So right that's always been my thing Oh no, Kenny Omega's gonna live and do his 60s, you know, so one call the police, you know, it's like they're I don't know man It's like I I think that
[UNKNOWN]: a lot of that a lot of it is what as you laid out is that the life is a little easier now like a lot of these guys even when they're on the road you know you know they're flying you know they're you know they're rent a car you know they these are they're not you know right in the territories and northern Minnesota in AWA days you know like it's you know there's a
[UNKNOWN]: When you have that ability to fly is got to be in flights, I imagine, or a lot more available, I mean, at least they are now, hopefully that remains so.
[UNKNOWN]: But because of that, I think that the travels a little push here, so therefore the road isn't the road.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's still, let me look, being on the planes all the time, that sounds awful.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm not trying to downplay that.
[UNKNOWN]: But I think I'd take that over being stuck in a car with like three other like massive guys, you know, and a 12 pack of whatever in the, you know, in the back, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: It's the jar full of somas.
[UNKNOWN]: Exactly.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, the somas, man.
[UNKNOWN]: The somas, can I kill Bam Bam Biggler, man?
[UNKNOWN]: It's like, the somas took out so, so many wrestlers, man.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so it's a shame because my, what we're going to talk about.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to celebrate all of that.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, I was going to say, you know, just thinking about this topic and all that, like, I just thank God that I've never had to deal with, you know, alcoholism or substance abuse issues in my own life, either with myself or my family, like my parents, my sister, my grandparents, my aunt, you know, none of us have ever had any issues like that.
[UNKNOWN]: We're just not that way.
[UNKNOWN]: And I know that I'm a lot luckier than other people are in that case, you know, like right now,
[UNKNOWN]: I'm reading a two-block biography and all the stuff about his mom being a crackhead is it's a street up nightmare.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, so yeah, I count my lucky star as for sure, Colah.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and I'm also, I feel I'm also lucky.
[UNKNOWN]: I, you know, I come, I do come from a line of alcoholics.
[UNKNOWN]: So I do enjoy my drink and I enjoy my marijuana.
[UNKNOWN]: And I have a strict rule with drugs about it.
[UNKNOWN]: But drugs and alcohol really is, and I'm in a steal from Christopher Hitchens here, but he had a really thing that really kind of, like really was a guy in light for me.
[UNKNOWN]: It's like these are excellent servants and terrible masters.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, and you should never let the servant become the master, you know, and so it's, you know, like we're going to talk about that monkey song, you know, it's like you never let the monkey, you never let you always keep that monkey on a tight leash, you know, it's there's you can be addicted to something without being a junkie, you know, I'm addicted to caffeine and nicotine and and, you know, definitely THC and probably alcohol, but I just, you know, it's,
[UNKNOWN]: I'm not going to go, I'm not going to pun shit, just to pay for that stuff.
[UNKNOWN]: I'll just go without, you know, I'll be a little grouchy, you know, but I'll be fine, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: In fact, there was one period of time, well, anyway, I don't want to think because it's a long boring story, but anyway, I went for a long period of time without smoking weed, where I
[UNKNOWN]: reasons that are boring, but anyway, I'm a twin and one of the great grifts of being a twin is that you get to participate in all these twin studies.
[UNKNOWN]: And they pay you for it, you know, for answering questions by little mind games, maybe sending a urine sample or two, you know, or, you know, I've done this since I was a child, my brother and I.
[UNKNOWN]: And so I've still do it to this day and in fact there was one where because my brother and I are both marijuana users, we took a test that one of us had to go without completely and the other one of us could live as normal.
[UNKNOWN]: and guess who won the pony on that one, and to say, so I went 90 days without.
[UNKNOWN]: And it was, you know, I was fine.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it was like, yeah, I mean, I had some weird dreams, and I was a little bit antsier, you know, and I could easily, you know, just have another drink or something, you know, if I really felt like partying.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, so it's what I said all that to say that sometimes you just like it's all about, you know, it like some people don't have that ability or that thing in their head.
[UNKNOWN]: It's not downplaying it because I've seen addiction cripple so many of my like people that I know, you know, and like friends of mine.
[UNKNOWN]: Um, and that's why I like you just have to have you just have to live by a set of standards and rules, you know, so I just I don't do anything that doesn't grow out of the ground.
[UNKNOWN]: Um, and I, you know, and most of the time I'm happy just to stick in my little THC land.
[UNKNOWN]: I have, you know, like I've no desire to go any harder than that.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, and I never have.
[UNKNOWN]: So it's just, and some people do, you know, and when they do, they get hooked on just the worst shit imaginable, you know, shit like meth and heroin and all that stuff.
[UNKNOWN]: That's when that's when it really gets a hold of people and can really destroy lives.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, as far as the music goes for today, we'll be playing songs about drugs and alcohol, which, yeah, given Cola's well-known love for both the Donja and the Stone or Metal.
[UNKNOWN]: I honestly thought that this was actually just a rose to have an intervention.
[UNKNOWN]: Everyone from the music channel, you know, like Andy and Brilliant Neck and Mintaculous and Dakota, and all you guys are going to sit around and say,
[UNKNOWN]: your obsession with drug metal has affected me in the following ways.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, look, I figure you're the best person for such an occasion here, and of course, I still gave you your two stoner metal song limit, which is a cruel irony, perhaps, but regardless, you know, for such a heavy topic, I will say not every single one of these songs is dark
[UNKNOWN]: they are themselves kind of positive or at least neutral about drugs or alcohol.
[UNKNOWN]: So it's not going to be a doom and gloop at the so-called outtickler.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and you know, it's, I mean, I'm aware of the limits of the territory in terms of that.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm happy to work with in it, but and you like, you were right in that I have a whole playlist of music about marijuana that isn't stoner metal.
[UNKNOWN]: I like a gigantic playlist.
[UNKNOWN]: So this was, you saw how quickly I came up with this.
[UNKNOWN]: So like this was, this was easy.
[UNKNOWN]: And it's mostly just because like I, I,
[UNKNOWN]: My background is especially when I back in another life when I worked in television is I followed the retail marijuana business in Colorado as it was starting back in 2014 we made like a six episode
[UNKNOWN]: series for MSNBC.
[UNKNOWN]: And learned a lot and consumed a lot, got a hell of a tolerance.
[UNKNOWN]: And yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: And so I had it in my head that we would be able to at least pick a song.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I knew we weren't going to be able to, you know, because paying for songs to pay the S, especially for like an MSNBC show.
[UNKNOWN]: But I had a whole playlist of it.
[UNKNOWN]: So this was very easy and very easy for me to come up with.
[UNKNOWN]: So it is, you know, I tried to cover all aspects and I tried to not go with anything too chalk.
[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, no, I think ultimately I think the, I think what you submitted was really cool.
[UNKNOWN]: And it was one of the few times that like what you, when you submitted, I know most of the songs.
[UNKNOWN]: I've heard most of the songs like, I know them like by heart, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: So.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, we have 10 picks each, and a playout song at the end.
[UNKNOWN]: But before we get to your first pick, Colah, I have a little clip I'd like to play.
[UNKNOWN]: Did I hear Dewey?
[UNKNOWN]: What are you all doing here?
[UNKNOWN]: We're smoking reefer.
[UNKNOWN]: And you don't want no part of this shit.
[UNKNOWN]: You're smoking reefer?
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, of course we are.
[UNKNOWN]: Can't you smell it?
[UNKNOWN]: No, Sam.
[UNKNOWN]: I can't.
[UNKNOWN]: Come on, do we?
[UNKNOWN]: Join the party.
[UNKNOWN]: No, do we.
[UNKNOWN]: You don't want this.
[UNKNOWN]: Get out of here.
[UNKNOWN]: You know what I don't want no hangover.
[UNKNOWN]: I can't get no hangover.
[UNKNOWN]: It doesn't give you a hangover.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, I'll get addicted to it or something.
[UNKNOWN]: It's not habit-forming.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, okay, well, I don't know.
[UNKNOWN]: I don't want to overdose on it.
[UNKNOWN]: You can't OD on it.
[UNKNOWN]: It's not gonna make me wanna have sex, isn't it?
[UNKNOWN]: It makes sex even better.
[UNKNOWN]: Sounds kind of expensive.
[UNKNOWN]: It's the cheapest drug.
[UNKNOWN]: There he is.
[UNKNOWN]: Hmm, you don't want it.
[UNKNOWN]: I think I kind of want it.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay, but just this once.
[UNKNOWN]: Come on in.
[UNKNOWN]: And you never pay for drugs.
[UNKNOWN]: Not once.
[UNKNOWN]: God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim Meadows God bless Tim
[UNKNOWN]: There's like, that's the great thing about the recreational side is that the science is actually really digging deep into this plan and seeing what we can really do like and I'm I haven't been as plugged into it as I used to have been, you know, and you know, this was a.
[UNKNOWN]: This was two Donald Trump Presidencies ago, so like who knows, but with like there was talk of marijuana and cannabis and the plant itself There was talk about it of it being a possible replacement for plastic and could you imagine what that would do to petroleum You know or like it and so it's just like that's something that we can do that and it's a weed it grows it's just it's
[UNKNOWN]: You know, especially for, you know, there's lots of science in behind like cultivating the stuff that gets the most THC, you know, that there is absolutely, that science is well defined, you know, but it's, to me, it's a wonderful, wonderful plant.
[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, I think that it, you can become addicted to it, but that's not really the fault of the plant if that makes any sense.
[UNKNOWN]: It's like there's nothing inherent, it's just like there's something in your head that like you want,
[UNKNOWN]: It's more of a of a therapy psychology thing that it is like a chemical addiction.
[UNKNOWN]: You don't have to ween yourself off of it or you'll die or something, you know, like that's that's what I mean by it.
[UNKNOWN]: That's what they mean when they say it's not habit forming and you can't OD on it.
[UNKNOWN]: But usually what OD looks like is you go to sleep.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, there are people that do have a violent reaction to it that cannot receive it and they just throw up, you know, it's fine, you know, there's and there was really an effort, especially in the early days of the legalization of the plant to really kind of like drum up these scare stories like people thought that they were going to put marijuana gummies in like trick or tree baskets.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: They're going to do that.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to give away 50 bucks of, uh, uh, sure.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'll do that, you know, get out of here, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: And so, and it didn't catch on, you know, we're now over, we're almost 12 years into this experiment here in Colorado.
[UNKNOWN]: And, you know, the streets are on fire.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, everything's fine, you know, it's like the money could be being spent a little smarter, but that's not the fault of the legalization process, you know, and what I'm as so anyway, I think that legalization has been a good thing, and I think that normalization is a good thing, and so that's why my a lot of my my vibes are are very much pro in the marijuana department, and I think if you're going to be pro any drug, it ought to be marijuana.
[UNKNOWN]: All right, come down there, hippie, we got you used to get to here.
[UNKNOWN]: Come on.
[UNKNOWN]: We'll be here all day.
[UNKNOWN]: But what cool out you are the guest, you'll go first.
[UNKNOWN]: Hmm, what's your first pick?
[UNKNOWN]: Well, my first pick, and I'm going to do this like a old-timey radio DJ.
[UNKNOWN]: This is Cab Galaway with a ring for man.
[UNKNOWN]: Take y'all.
[UNKNOWN]: Best gal and do the Lindy hoppin.
[UNKNOWN]: Take a four-dish ride.
[UNKNOWN]: Man, is that the reaper man?
[UNKNOWN]: It's the reaper man.
[UNKNOWN]: I believe he's loose this man.
[UNKNOWN]: I think he's lost his mind.
[UNKNOWN]: For me we have a myth that's funny, brief for me.
[UNKNOWN]: Thanks man!
[UNKNOWN]: Have you ever met that funny, brief for me?
[UNKNOWN]: Great pleasure!
[UNKNOWN]: You know you talk into that dream for man Have you ever met 20 years old man Have you ever met 20 years old man Have you ever met 20 years old man If we met once we also met any time he takes notice Then you talk to the people man
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so I kind of made it clear on the last episode when we talked about, I'm a big, big band guy, it's, and it might shock people because I'm a big, big fan of all-time, big band jazz.
[UNKNOWN]: To me, it's like, it's heavy, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: And it's like the way the way that Calwa even is, have you ever,
[UNKNOWN]: Met the bunny reef a man, you know, it's he's punching it, you know, and the problem is is that a lot of recordings that you listen to.
[UNKNOWN]: They're recording, you know, the technology equivalent, you know, in 2026, you know, is a tin can, you know, and so, but if you ever hear it live, you can hear how heavy the mute.
[UNKNOWN]: Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh,
[UNKNOWN]: But to me, it's always appealed to me one because I just think to music is just so it's fast.
[UNKNOWN]: It's frenetic and it's really just like, and it's punchy, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: So, yes, I am like most people that I learned of Cab Calloway through the Blues Brothers, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: But his old-time stuff, I wish that if I can go back in time with an actual decent recording set up and actually hear what he was doing back then.
[UNKNOWN]: I bet it would sound fantastic.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, this is what I meant by not every song is depressing and sad, because this song is quite silly and upbeat.
[UNKNOWN]: He's the funny refer man.
[UNKNOWN]: He calls watermelon pickles, isn't he goofy folks?
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's such a playful contrast with something like a refer manness, which is around the same time as this, and so over the top with how much a demonizes marijuana.
[UNKNOWN]: But the thing is, you know, weed was part of jazz culture in the 30s, you know, a bunch of those guys love the stickiest of the yikki, you know, I mean it's, it's called a jazz cigarette for a reason.
[UNKNOWN]: Absolutely.
[UNKNOWN]: And, uh,
[UNKNOWN]: Cab Cal way, like, and this song, it's like, you know, this is not really like celebrating it.
[UNKNOWN]: It's more just like these goofballs, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: Like, it's like, it's not, yeah, it's the exact opposite of refer madness.
[UNKNOWN]: It's just like, I think even if you're not an enjoyer or partaker of marijuana, the worst that this song is telling you is like, this guy thinks watermelon or pickles.
[UNKNOWN]: He thinks that he's gonna cause Wall Street to go panic because he won't sell an ocean.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
[UNKNOWN]: And, and, and, and Cap Callaway and his band actually performed this song in a movie called International House in 1933 starring W.C. Fields, Bellalagosi, George Burns and Gracie Allen, and it was, it was a pre-haze code movie.
[UNKNOWN]: So they could put more risk commentary like that in there.
[UNKNOWN]: So.
[UNKNOWN]: I don't want to see that, like Cab Calaway, he shows up throughout cinematic history all the time.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, like he just, I don't know, he, it's because of his style, right?
[UNKNOWN]: He was a very, he wasn't sitting there just could leading the band, right?
[UNKNOWN]: He was, he was leading the band and also the star of the show, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, cab Galway rules.
[UNKNOWN]: It's, I think he, there's a song that he does by Duke Ellington called picking up the cabbage that, you know, I could use that song too, but it's the heaviest song you ever heard is just, you know, it's, and I don't know, man, it's like,
[UNKNOWN]: You know, for fans of heavy music, you think that they look at this stuff and, you know, repell, but to me, it's like it fits in very cool.
[UNKNOWN]: It fits in, like with just about anything that's like really fast and punchy.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, my first pick is a decades later in the year 2000.
[UNKNOWN]: This is Queen's of the Stone Age, with their second album called Rated R.
[UNKNOWN]: and uh... this one is called feel good hit of the summer
[UNKNOWN]: Is this a song or Charlie Sheen's shopping list?
[UNKNOWN]: Folks.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, you know, this song for just being a list of drugs set over and over again, it's pretty damn fun.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, that opening baseline just grabs you at the throat and never lets up.
[UNKNOWN]: Cook, cook, cook, cook, cook, cook, like, yeah, it's a lot of fun and
[UNKNOWN]: Josh Hami hinted that it's it's kind of like a response to being labeled a stone or rock band It's kind of poking fun at that.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, but what's also cool is that Rob Helford sings background vocals at the end of the song and If you listen like really closely you can kind of hear them, but But this is not the only time that we'll talk about Halford and Josh Hami on this episode here.
[UNKNOWN]: Cool
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, we're just a couple of double dip and motherfuckers, aren't we?
[UNKNOWN]: I think, I remember reading Rob Halford.
[UNKNOWN]: This album is like a pretty pretty foundational album for, like, the, especially desert stone or metal.
[UNKNOWN]: It's weird, but the way I map out my style of metal is more like a fantasy map, you know, and they're in the desert area, you know, and so, you know, and so,
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and Josh Hummy always, like he's been on record about hating the stone or metal label.
[UNKNOWN]: And I kind of understand that, but I also kind of loved it.
[UNKNOWN]: Like at the time, because this was like 2008 when I first heard that he didn't like the label.
[UNKNOWN]: And my response into that this was before recreational marijuana was even a dream of mine.
[UNKNOWN]: I was trying to get gay marriage going in some healthcare.
[UNKNOWN]: But with,
[UNKNOWN]: with marijuana legalization being so far from me.
[UNKNOWN]: I was like, man, no, man, you call it stoner metal, so they can't sell it, man.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, like it's it's a difficult thing to market.
[UNKNOWN]: And that's the point, you know, and then, you know, marijuana legal, and it's it's probably going to be, you know, in probably 50 years, we're going to be talking about big cannabis.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, it's just, it's got to be a thing.
[UNKNOWN]: So, uh, but yeah, no, this song, I love this album.
[UNKNOWN]: I like, like, like, the early Queens of the Stone Age is my, is my lane, uh, with, with, especially with, with Queens of the Stone Age, but I like how, like, Josh Hommie is very interested in having a very full sound, you know, and he does not mind tracking different things to create that full sound and it really creates just like a sense of like, especially when he's
[UNKNOWN]: bang your head greatness, you know, like there's nothing, say what you will about Josh Tommy when he wanted to, you know, that guy can bring a power, you know, to his guitar.
[UNKNOWN]: And he's, you know, it's, yeah, I, Queens the Stone Age is always the preferred band for a lot of folks, and I understand it.
[UNKNOWN]: They're, you know, you know, uh,
[UNKNOWN]: Josh Hammies vocals are a lot cleaner and he's a good singer, you know, he's really is and so it's I love that it's called the feel good hit of the summer and it's just like repeating the essentially the five basic food groups Yeah, I mean this this got censored a bunch on the radio stations refuse to play it which is as well because you know it just it's just the names of the drugs there's no praise or condemnation
[UNKNOWN]: or actions involved, but I did find this amazing story about how queens were playing this rehab center in California one time.
[UNKNOWN]: And the first song they played was feel good hit at the summer in a rehab center.
[UNKNOWN]: and they got thrown out afterwards.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, that's a true rock and roll story.
[UNKNOWN]: That's Josh Tommy for you, man.
[UNKNOWN]: That guy did not give a fuck, you know, he's, he's, he's, he almost, you know, like he got a fight with Brett Heinz, you know, like the guy is like, he, he does not give a fuck, you know, he's, he's that kind of guy, you know, if he control you, he will.
[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
[UNKNOWN]: All right, Colah, what's your next pick?
[UNKNOWN]: Okay, so I'm taking it back again.
[UNKNOWN]: You keep trying to brag me forward and I will keep dragging us back in time, but our next step is that I know I've given marijuana some love and I got to give us some drink at some love because we're talking about personal demons here and one of them is drinking.
[UNKNOWN]: So this is Jimmy Rogers with Sloppy Drunk.
[UNKNOWN]: Then anything I know I would rather this stop you drunk Then anything I know I'd never have to find And then you will see me go I won't drink it while I'm up, while I'm
[UNKNOWN]: You think, while I'm a woman, Tray can't you laugh, oh!
[UNKNOWN]: And if you talk about stop-fragging, we're talking about nothing at all.
[UNKNOWN]: So,
[UNKNOWN]: I know that this might surprise people, but my favorite, my actual favorite style of music is Chicago Blues.
[UNKNOWN]: The electric Chicago Blues, you know, the guitar bass, harmonic up piano drum sound, hit me in the day, hit me all day in the face with it.
[UNKNOWN]: It's just, it is my favorite sound in music.
[UNKNOWN]: I love it.
[UNKNOWN]: And this is Jimmy Rogers, who is essentially, like, this is essentially Jimmy Rogers with muddy waters his band.
[UNKNOWN]: He's got, honestly, to me,
[UNKNOWN]: like the most the people most significantly responsible for the the the second phase of money waters is career in Chicago.
[UNKNOWN]: Whereas piano player Otispan and his harmonica player a little Walter for my money the greatest harmonica player to everybody.
[UNKNOWN]: It's like and it's just so you can hear this and you know that this is just like the opening tune before money waters comes on right and it's
[UNKNOWN]: And I guarantee the speed keys or wherever they play, you know, the wherever they the juke joints where they play, didn't mind this song because you hear this song, you know, you know, I don't have another drink, you know, and it, you know, it works, you know, and so I just, I love the sound of a Chicago, you know, electric blue sound.
[UNKNOWN]: And Jimmy Rogers was right there at the beginning.
[UNKNOWN]: He was one of the first people with muddy waters.
[UNKNOWN]: When they called themselves, the reputation they called themselves with the headhunters, because they just took the best people from everyone.
[UNKNOWN]: So they got Jimmy Rogers, owed his span, the piano player, and little Walter.
[UNKNOWN]: And it just, it,
[UNKNOWN]: with Willie Dixon on the bass and kind of helping write a lot of the songs, really created like was responsible for creating that really cool, you know, to me the Chicago blues sound, which is my favorite style of blues and probably my favorite music of all time.
[UNKNOWN]: yeah it's a nice rocking blue song it just goes to show that there are songs about you know excessive drinking that don't necessarily mean the horrors of alcoholism you know it's it's installing the fun side of drinking you know we're gonna get drunk and rock this joint um i mean how many rock songs would adopt that same theme quite a lot over the years and uh
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, a little Walter really Dixon.
[UNKNOWN]: It's got a nice lineup as well for sure, Kohler.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, Otispan, to me that, I mean, he, he, I love his piano playing more than any, I mean, like, I can talk a blue streak.
[UNKNOWN]: We can about Chicago blues, particularly that, that period of time with muddy waters and then slowly after, not long after Helen Wolf, you know, and the kind of rivalry they had.
[UNKNOWN]: They,
[UNKNOWN]: it's it to me it's like that style of that that era of blues to me is the coolest and it just I don't care who is doing it I don't care if it's sunny boy Williams in one or two I don't care if it's little Walter big Walter I can go through the whole thing like the Dan Acro I did in blues by there's 2000.
[UNKNOWN]: Um, but it's my favorite style music.
[UNKNOWN]: I got into it early when I was in college and it's to this day, um, it's just, I'm never not in the mood for it.
[UNKNOWN]: It's I might do it on my, on my next day when I'm working in the garage or something.
[UNKNOWN]: Um, just because it's I've never, it's never not great for me.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, it's definitely one of my favorite styles of music ever.
[UNKNOWN]: So I think the song works and in terms of the theme, but I think Jimmy Rogers is honestly kind of like underplayed in terms of how cool he was.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, he wasn't with, I mean, like, you know, money waters was obviously the star of the show.
[UNKNOWN]: And it's hard to kind of stand out with y'all like you got out of spanned and a little waltre.
[UNKNOWN]: It's hard to stand out, but he was a heck of a song.
[UNKNOWN]: He does another recording of this sloppy drunk that it's actually like terrific.
[UNKNOWN]: So, but you know, you just think of the chess records like houseband, you know, you know, if little waltre wasn't available for various reasons, just get junior wells in there, you know, like it's just, you know, Jimmy Rogers can't be here.
[UNKNOWN]: for music in my opinion, so I always, I always take an opportunity to do that.
[UNKNOWN]: If you make that a rule that I can't do any more Chicago blues, I may not be able to work in the territory anymore, Andrew.
[UNKNOWN]: I won't do that to you, I promise, I promise.
[UNKNOWN]: Alright, my next pick going to go to the 80s here, a decade when there was a whole lot of snowfall around, because of that lovely white powder called cocaine.
[UNKNOWN]: uh... with a song by mele mel from gremester flash in the furious five this up is actually credited in places uh... to gremester flash in the furious five or to grandmaster and mele but it's just mele mel doing it here so uh... yeah this is white lines
[UNKNOWN]: The vision dreams of passion In all the while I think of you A very strange reaction The more I see the more I do Baby, tell me
[UNKNOWN]: Take it to ride, ride line, how it will all your friends make You know my way, pay your toll, sell your soul Count for pound, cost more than gold The longer you stay, the more you pay My right line, don't along with either up the notes up
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's so long as a classic wrap or otherwise.
[UNKNOWN]: And what's funny about it is, you know, Lyrically, Melie Mel is warning about the dangers of cocaine.
[UNKNOWN]: Though those white lines, pay your toll, sell your soul, pound for pound costs more than gold.
[UNKNOWN]: The longer you stay, the more you pay, you're killing your brain, you know, don't do it, don't do it.
[UNKNOWN]: And,
[UNKNOWN]: It also talks about, you know, the bias of the court system against street kids versus businessmen.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, there's a really strong, serious social message here, but the song is such a fun party banger, you know, that baseline, the horns, bass, you know, orang-dang-dang-dang like there are so many fun elements here that, yeah, I
[UNKNOWN]: I kind of want to do some cocaine to the song.
[UNKNOWN]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, that's my favorite versus when he points out the these business guys because especially in the 80s man My god, you know, like I remember in film school like my editor my editing teacher would just tell us like times in Hollywood Like guys walk around with a fucking vial around their neck just out the old You know, just you know, just everyone did it, you know, but you know the second thing started getting popular with uh, you know Not white people suddenly started become a huge problem
[UNKNOWN]: You know, and so I just I love that call out of it because like, because it's called white lines in parentheses don't do it, which I feel like was like a record company said you got to add that, you know, and it is kind of fucked up that they put grandmaster flash like on that, you know, because it shows up on like full disco when I use YouTube because I'm a YouTube music guy, but when I look, it does, I can't find it of just melly mel, it's it's listed as melly mel and grandmaster flash.
[UNKNOWN]: That's kind of kind of fucked up.
[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think at that point, I think at that point, Flash had already been feuding with Millie Mall over, right or something like that.
[UNKNOWN]: But I also read that Sugarhill Records, I mean, they basically stole this from a band called Liquid Liquid.
[UNKNOWN]: They was song called Cavern, and it is shockingly obvious that they ripped the song off.
[UNKNOWN]: Same baseline, same, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, melody and the band sued Sugar Hill over it and they won, but then Sugar Hill declared bankruptcy and never paid up.
[UNKNOWN]: So, you know, classic music story right there, man.
[UNKNOWN]: You gotta, like you've said, like Millie Melon, Grandmaster, Flash for a few to make, Grandmaster, Flash for a shooting Sugar Hill.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, at the time when they put the his name on there, I mean, it's kind of shady, you know, a little shabby on that department, and I remember I read that it was that it was ripped off of that and you know, you hear that and you always assume it's just like kind of like more popular rock babies just pissing their pants because hip hop bothered to sample them.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, like that I always put, but then you like reading it, but then you're right when you listen to saw you like, oh, you're just, come on, man, like just bring them in, you know, like wrap over that.
[UNKNOWN]: Do a guest spot.
[UNKNOWN]: You guys will probably sell some records.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I don't know, but it is a shame because it is, like you said, it's, uh, it is to cocaine what like sleep is to marijuana.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's very much like, hey, man, this is the best shit ever, but it, that's what it feels like, but the lyrics are very much
[UNKNOWN]: You know, kind of add it on because at first I think that the I thought that like that don't do it was kind of like add it on, but you hear Millie Mills like lyrics and he's like very seriously like saying like look man like he's going to be no one's fault, but you're on because you're going to get hooked on this shit and all your and that's true I've never done cocaine I don't have a really particularly, you know, I don't have an urge to do it, but everyone who I've talked to does do it or has done it says it all that it does is just so you get kind of you get really high for a minute and then all you can think of is getting more.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, and so it's like, you know, I got enough of that in my life, you know, I don't need cocaine.
[UNKNOWN]: I don't need any help in that department.
[UNKNOWN]: So I agree, Melie Mall, you should be warning people against it.
[UNKNOWN]: But maybe don't make it sound so fun.
[UNKNOWN]: There's also a version by Duran Duran that came out in the 90s.
[UNKNOWN]: It's also pretty fun sounding.
[UNKNOWN]: So they did it too apparently, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so my next pick is, so you know, I was one, I kind of wanted to represent as many genres as I could, and I didn't want to go with any chalk like hip hop marijuana songs, so you're not going to hear any cypress Hill, you're not going to hear anything from the chronic, you're not going to hear, you know, I got five on it.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, all that stuff is great and, and I
[UNKNOWN]: You know, love it.
[UNKNOWN]: Play it as loud as often as you want.
[UNKNOWN]: Those things are great.
[UNKNOWN]: And I got nothing against it.
[UNKNOWN]: But for me, my favorite hip-hop song kind of celebrates it.
[UNKNOWN]: And I guess it just displays like my kind of non-hip-hop fans.
[UNKNOWN]: Anyway, this is the far side with Pack the Pipe.
[UNKNOWN]: on my front porch, I'm about to put it towards you.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so the far side, I think they're underrated, but I'm not a super hip-hop fan.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm neither rich, rich, nor rich, a lot of it.
[UNKNOWN]: So I can't say that I'm a super plugged in, but I like hip-hop and I enjoy it.
[UNKNOWN]: And the far side was one of those bands when I discovered when I, like,
[UNKNOWN]: I went to college and I discovered that like I actually like hip hop and I like try to listen to as much of it as I could and I think like most white guys and they're 20s at the time We got into like deltron and mfdum and all that stuff, but we also like like a lot of like the kind of more
[UNKNOWN]: cerebral hip hop, especially like, you know, a lot of hip hop, especially like in the 90s, they like to sap sample like stacks, you know, or old soul plastics.
[UNKNOWN]: But it seems like like the far side and in a lot of other bands like Tribe called Quest and you know, all those guys, you know, they sort of sample like jazz, you know, and and that's what the far side really always appealed to me is that like they that what we're what they're sampling is and what they the atmosphere, the more interesting creating an
[UNKNOWN]: then kind of getting you to like, boog your rat.
[UNKNOWN]: Like the only thing you're going to, they want you to do in this song is kind of nod your head, you know, and they, they, they create this sort of atmosphere.
[UNKNOWN]: It, it doesn't recreate what it feels like to smoke marijuana, but it feels great when you're on marijuana to listen to.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, first of all, I, I recognize the sample of jump around by House of Pain right away with packet up packet in, which fits perfectly in this case.
[UNKNOWN]: And I looked it up, it also samples John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderly, two classic jazz guys.
[UNKNOWN]: And we talked about the heavy influence that we'd had with jazz.
[UNKNOWN]: Here's another predominantly black music genre where that's the case.
[UNKNOWN]: The amount of hip-hop songs about a weed is innumerable, probably.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's not a case of, oh, the funny reaper man, like, no, here we are describing, you know, packing up blondes, packing up pipes, you know, details here, real details with the weed game here, Colah.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, and it's also, but like, you know, I started blazing, it was amazing.
[UNKNOWN]: My lungs swirled up like a, it was a raisin, you know, it's like, they're honest about it.
[UNKNOWN]: Like you're gonna cough, you're not gonna, you know, it's, you know, but it's, it's, it's, it's like I said, it's not celebrating it, but more like being in it, you know, it whereas like, I feel like Referman was more like, you know, this fucking guy.
[UNKNOWN]: Whereas the far sides like, I'm that fucking guy.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, so like that's that it's it kind of recreates it in fantastic ways.
[UNKNOWN]: I don't know, I just like the far sides all like the the far they're always there to me.
[UNKNOWN]: I think it's fair to say they're most they're son of the most known for as passing me by which is a great song and this is from the same album, but the whole album is just it's it is perfect like
[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
[UNKNOWN]: It makes sense that I discovered in college because the perfect stuff just kind of put on and just like listen to and while you're studying or pretending to study, you know, what have you?
[UNKNOWN]: Well, the line I like a lot is because the bud is just a tasty tantalizer, the bud, not the beer because the bud makes me wiser.
[UNKNOWN]: I did checkle it that.
[UNKNOWN]: I also want to mention the album cover, which is a drawing of the group on a roller coaster ride.
[UNKNOWN]: And they're going into a tunnel shaped like a vagina with like razor blades on the inside.
[UNKNOWN]: It's a rather provocative image, Cola.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's, I couldn't make it.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I don't know what it means.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's, to me like the my favorite thing about the far side of this kind of like the trip hop, kind of genre is that they're, they're kind of,
[UNKNOWN]: They kind of celebrate being juvenile, you know, and but not in a like a juvenile way, you know, like we're talking about smoking weed, you know, which, you know, Joe lands and brings us up and he's absolutely right.
[UNKNOWN]: The guy that makes their identity smoking weed is most boring motherfucker on the planet, you know, like it makes their whole, if their whole personality is that way.
[UNKNOWN]: If I ever act like that Andrew rich, please say something.
[UNKNOWN]: I don't want to be that guy.
[UNKNOWN]: I never ever want to be that guy.
[UNKNOWN]: as much of a marijuana, you know, fan as I am.
[UNKNOWN]: It's just, it makes me function.
[UNKNOWN]: It's not my personality.
[UNKNOWN]: And I think that, so, I think the far side, they're not necessarily adding into that, but I think that they, they have no problem celebrating the, because they're, it is kind of juvenile, they're kind of like celebrating, it's like, you know, celebrating coffee, making songs about your coffee.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, at the end of the day, it's just something that's happening to you, you know, and so I, it just kind of comes with the territory.
[UNKNOWN]: So I didn't, I honestly, I, I don't even, I couldn't tell you if that was, if you just lied to me and told me that wasn't the, it just made up a thing of the far side.
[UNKNOWN]: I wouldn't, I wouldn't have nothing because I, I don't even, I think I, I didn't buy this album or anything.
[UNKNOWN]: I was in the MP3 download and business back in the day.
[UNKNOWN]: So I never, I,
[UNKNOWN]: album arts never got with me until much much later when I started like collecting records and stuff, but I should get this record.
[UNKNOWN]: I wouldn't be in the way.
[UNKNOWN]: It just caught my eye.
[UNKNOWN]: Just caught my eye.
[UNKNOWN]: I'll say, I mean, like I said, I, I, I didn't know that have.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, how could it not?
[UNKNOWN]: It would based on what you're described.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, my next pick, I'm going to stay
[UNKNOWN]: gigantic album faith this is one of the singles one of the many many singles of this album this is monkey
[UNKNOWN]: So we talked about the contrast between the funky, good-time music of white lines and the lyrics.
[UNKNOWN]: This isn't the same vein, you know, George Michael talking about a friend with an addiction, the proverbial monkey on her back.
[UNKNOWN]: And he's lamenting, why do I have to share you with this thing?
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I tried my best, but your head is such a mess.
[UNKNOWN]: Why can't you do it?
[UNKNOWN]: Why can't you set your monkey free?
[UNKNOWN]: Always given into it.
[UNKNOWN]: Do you love your monkey or do you love me?
[UNKNOWN]: It's, you know, it's a very painful scenario seeing a loved one struggle with addiction and feeling helpless.
[UNKNOWN]: But,
[UNKNOWN]: Man, the funky, disco-y grooves.
[UNKNOWN]: It's like, George, I feel for ya, but I need to dance here.
[UNKNOWN]: I can't help it, man.
[UNKNOWN]: I can't help it, Kola.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'm sorry, George.
[UNKNOWN]: I'll be right back, but the song's so great.
[UNKNOWN]: I just got to do a rail and I'll be on the dance floor.
[UNKNOWN]: We'll take a little kid to finish this conversation later.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I always kind of like, you know, me and Rama, you know, poppy stuff.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm trying to get over it, but anyway, when George Michael died, I remember, you know,
[UNKNOWN]: are mutual friend of the discord mora wrote like when he she wrote like an article about it and really made me like look at it like the man was a giant he is the 80s you know mean that I mean that there's catchy there's catchy tunes and there's whatever the fuck George Michael does you know because that guy makes ear words like nothing you know like I listen to this song like okay I got it you know and I didn't feel anything while I was listening
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it just it finds a way in your man like he is and then when it comes to making that kind of music, I think he like he he frankly underrated.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's it's it's an insane thing to say, considering his massive success in the eight since it's an insane thing to think about if I told someone in 86 or whatever the George Michaels underrated, what are you talking about the guys everywhere.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, but like, you know, he was up there with like Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and it seems like we still talk about Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson as we should, you know, for for musical importance, George Michael needs to be in that conversation man.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, like I was a, I mean, faith was a monster, but like I don't, you know, there's a generation of kids that have parents that they every parent, they know owns faith by George Michael on something, you know, because of just everyone.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, this was the fourth straight single from the album to hit number one, four and a row.
[UNKNOWN]: And, you know, when you've got Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis producing this song as well,
[UNKNOWN]: Then yeah, it's kind of understood what direction you're going to go in here.
[UNKNOWN]: It's not going to be an acoustic ballad.
[UNKNOWN]: It's not going to be a country durs, you know, it's going to be this kind of song and as well as as proven by the chart, you know, performance.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, they made the right choice here, I think.
[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, this is George Michael at the peak of his powers and just, you know, blowing everybody away with how, you know, how massive his songs in this album was.
[UNKNOWN]: And even though the beat itself are very, you know, very dancing and, you know, like you could, he doesn't great job of conveying like frustration, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: Not necessarily anger, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: Like I don't get like, I don't get like furious that's from him, but you get his, you feel the frustration the way he sings this song, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: He kind of steps on the, when he first starts saying, well, I can't you do it, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: Like it,
[UNKNOWN]: He, you know, and that to me doesn't necessarily convey like a rage per se, but more than an annoyance, you know, it's like, and it's kind of walks that line while still giving this really like catchy, you know, dancing paper,
[UNKNOWN]: Stuff that sticks with you stuff that makes you want to dance, but the lyrics and the vocals really convey, you know, you know, almost Tom weights level, they're tragic, tragedy about a person talking about a friend who's crippled by addiction, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, as you said, there's a difference between having a strength and a firmness to your voice versus just screaming, like there's a big difference there, so yeah, and he was able to do the former very, very, very well for sure.
[UNKNOWN]: but uh... but all right uh... colo what you got next uh... okay well i guess i tried to have a variety of genres here and so i will have uh... that next is we're gonna go a little bit country here uh... uh... i know a little bit rock and roll we're gonna go a little bit country and this is Hank Williams the third with smoke and wine
[UNKNOWN]: I'm a real razor, I'm trying to kill my time And I'm looking for a leg down But now I'm five foot thin And I'm gonna take her down that wound Probably been a life full of sin But cause I'm breaking Look at her, I'm a lot's of fun I always carry around my Lori shotgun If I make a donut, I have a bad time I got a little bit of smoke
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so I first, I never would describe myself as a country guy when I first heard Hank William's three, you know, outside of like Johnny Cash, you know, like I come from a generation where like, you know, like, you know, the line is, I don't like country music, but I like Johnny Cash, you know, that's kind of where I was, and then I heard Hank William's three
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, blew my fucking mind, I'll grade it.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, like, it's aggressive.
[UNKNOWN]: It's like, it's, I mean, the ripping fiddles and the, just the, you know, guitar work, it is, it did, like, man, I don't hear this fucking country on the radio, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: And, and his voice, he sounds like Hank, he sounds like Hank Williams, he sounds like his grandpa.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I mean, he sounds more like his grandpa than his dad does, you know, in terms of like, and, and Hank, you know, Hank free's a little bit of a nut, but he, to me, like, I've seen him live and he, I'm telling you, his, his band is like that they look like the cast members of the deliverance.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, they're just like terrifying looking white trash people, you know, and, but they're playing a stand-up base in the, you know, the, you know, what's it called, the little slide guitar gimmick thing, and Hank, like he looks like Hank Williams, you know, when he sings like Hank Williams, you know, and he kind of like is a little bit more honest about the lifestyle that Hank Williams almost certainly led.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, uh, and he's kind of unapologetic about it, and that's kind of his whole vibe, you know, to, you know, to varying degrees of success or varying degrees of, of non-cringe stuff.
[UNKNOWN]: He sometimes gets a little cringe, but, um, he's unapologetic about it, and, uh, and, you know, like when I first heard it, I was like, man, why the, why can't, why can't more countries sound like this?
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, you know, I'm not familiar with Eho DeHank Williams Jr's work.
[UNKNOWN]: I know the namesake, obviously.
[UNKNOWN]: I know all three of them, but I really wasn't expecting this, like country, bluegrass, speed metal, basically.
[UNKNOWN]: I read that, it used to be in punk rock and metal bands, which makes sense.
[UNKNOWN]: for the kind of energy and attitude going on here.
[UNKNOWN]: And look, if you're gonna go the Outlaw Country route, then singing about, you know, drink in and drug in, loaded shotguns and, and Hillbilly Hellraiser and playing fast and intense, that's,
[UNKNOWN]: That's certainly one way to go about it, Dakota, for sure.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, I mean, I don't really care if you hate me as see.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm just a country boy from the state of Tennessee.
[UNKNOWN]: A little bit crazy on the rowdy side because I like to drink my whiskey and I like to get high.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's like, when I heard this, you know, as a, as a transplant living in the northeast, you know, from the west and I'm all my families from the south, like that, I'm like, like, just let a fire under my belly, you know, about it.
[UNKNOWN]: And so Hank, I mean, you're absolutely right with the punk rock and metal thing.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, his, his live acts are,
[UNKNOWN]: It's like happens in stages, you know, he starts with straight country.
[UNKNOWN]: He's got the cowboy hat on, you know, his hairs tucked back in because he's got like a long metal head hair.
[UNKNOWN]: And, you know, he's got his baby does his country act and then he takes off the hat and puts on, it takes off the cowboy hat and puts on like a trucker hat and they play kind of like a kind of like a hard rock ability sound.
[UNKNOWN]: and then he takes off the hat and the hair comes down and it's just straight metal, you know, like that's that's that's that's that's his live act.
[UNKNOWN]: He's very into especially my lane.
[UNKNOWN]: I want to I remember early days of YouTube there was a video going around of him like playing on a green amp just and he was just blasting sleeps dope smoker, you know, on this, you know, on his guitar.
[UNKNOWN]: So he's very much in my lane of of music.
[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, you know, I don't love all the things that Hank Williams three has done, but this is like my favorite album of his and really really kind of opened my heart to like a country in general because I listen to this I dug into wail and Jennings I dug into Willie Nelson I dug into Merle Haggard and so like now like I don't sound like such a fucking idiot, you know, and just a little country, you know, it's like there's good country man there that it's
[UNKNOWN]: you just got to find stuff that speaks to you know it's all music genres are so wide and vast that you know you'll find something that speaks to you so to just count a whole genre you know it's so you know don't do that don't do it as millimetre would say.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, I have to say as well, I don't see Hank III getting the call to the Monday night football theme like his dad.
[UNKNOWN]: No.
[UNKNOWN]: It seems a little too rough for that gig.
[UNKNOWN]: No.
[UNKNOWN]: And honestly, he, I mean, one of the songs on this album is I'm here to put the Dick and Dixie in the Clinton country.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I mean, like, that's his vibe, man.
[UNKNOWN]: I like he's the next album that he released after that.
[UNKNOWN]: The first track is the grand ol' Aubrey and so grand anymore.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, and he's just starts listed all the country singers that they don't let him in.
[UNKNOWN]: Probably for good reason.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, look up Johnny Page check.
[UNKNOWN]: That's probably a good reason why he's not in their Hank.
[UNKNOWN]: Probably a good reason.
[UNKNOWN]: All right.
[UNKNOWN]: My next pick here, going to go to 1971 and it's our old favorites.
[UNKNOWN]: They're old, reliable.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: Black Sabbath.
[UNKNOWN]: off of their third album Master of Reality and we're gonna take a little talk on some sweet leaf
[UNKNOWN]: I know what it's meant to Didn't realize I can't forget you
[UNKNOWN]: Some get Tonya Cofdrop, my goodness, you know, Colah, you claim to be Mr. Stoner Medal, but here I am beating you to the punch with the song and the album that basically created the genre.
[UNKNOWN]: Not just the heavy sludgy rips, of course, but yeah, it's a song about loving weed, loving the sweet leaf.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, even though lyrically compared to other stoner rock and
[UNKNOWN]: It's not that literal.
[UNKNOWN]: It doesn't say pot or marijuana, smoking, anything like that.
[UNKNOWN]: It just says sweetly.
[UNKNOWN]: That's the only real reference in the song.
[UNKNOWN]: But I guess when you start a song with a loop of Tony, I know me coughing from a joint hit, it kind of seals the deal there and makes music history cool.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's kind of hard to interpret it in any other way.
[UNKNOWN]: You're absolutely correct to this album
[UNKNOWN]: Probably credited with creating my style, my favorite style of heavy music, which is Stoner Metal.
[UNKNOWN]: For my money master's reality is the greatest Black Sabbath album.
[UNKNOWN]: It's my favorite.
[UNKNOWN]: I think that it's just a achieved perfection with that album.
[UNKNOWN]: It's just perfect.
[UNKNOWN]: And I heard this, this was one of the first songs I heard by Black Sabbath that wasn't playing on my dad's classic rock station.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I've got a CD of, you know, we sold our souls for rock and roll the best of Black Sabbath.
[UNKNOWN]: And I think it was actually cassette, no, I think, on it because I had to go to a different side because sweetly started on the second side and I heard that, like, what is this?
[UNKNOWN]: Had no desire even inkling of marijuana at the time.
[UNKNOWN]: I just loved the riff, you know, the dirt.
[UNKNOWN]: But you know, it's just so simple, but so like musical, but powerful, you know, and then it goes into like, you know, then Deezer and and and and Bill Ward really take over when when, you know, he's doing the solo because like Bill Ward My god, what a drummer he is, you know, just like he is he is it's not just like his his speed and his everything like swings man like there's no way to swing man.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, he's a jazz guy pretty much.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: It's like he completely like create the atmosphere thing that became synonymous with like marijuana and heavy music, you know that heavy symbol use, which will get to you know because you are right you did you did beat me to the to the stoner metal punch and honestly I'm going to count that as a victory for myself.
[UNKNOWN]: It shows that my influence is growing.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, you know, it's so funny.
[UNKNOWN]: Do you know how hard it was for me to settle on just one Sabbath song one Aussie song for this episode, because, you know, as much as they enjoy doing drugs, they also sang about them quite a lot.
[UNKNOWN]: A lot of it too.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I played snow blind in the episode last year.
[UNKNOWN]: but you got hand of doom, rock and roll doctor, flying high again, demon alcohol, suicide solution, junkie, zombie stop.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, that the list just goes on and on, Kola.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, for a guy who could consume a heroic amount of substances,
[UNKNOWN]: Like, he, he, he, like, and you know, there were times like a lot of those songs are about like the torture, you know, of what it is, you know, like sweet leaves really the only song that's kind of like, you know, this is all right, you know, like, you know, hand of doom is that you cannot say that hand, like there's no universe where hand of doom is like saying, hey, heroin, you know, and give it a try, you know, it's like it's very much like a, like it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it
[UNKNOWN]: it's like a more darker thing.
[UNKNOWN]: This is like black Sabbath partying, you know, dad, dad, dad, you know, not, you know, so black and Sabbath and Aussie, they, they celebrated it, but they often times they really, they, they, they would talk about it, like it's something that it can really destroy your life, you know, which is weird.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know, it certainly did a number on Aussies, you know, despite all of his life, but you know, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it,
[UNKNOWN]: Um, so, you know, it's like, but this is, like, really, this is the really the only time of like, marijuana is even referenced by Sabbath or Aussie, but after that, it's like, it's, other substances, you know, but it's really, it comes in correct right around this time.
[UNKNOWN]: So, yeah, it's kind of takes precedence for sure.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: And cocaine's like,
[UNKNOWN]: bad news man like I don't know like it's it's a lot like smoking with cigarettes to me it's just like you just need the nicotine and all you're saying with the nicotine is oh good I just want to do nicotine for the rest of my life you know it's like it's something with that addictive but you know it's another song where it's just it's kind of it there's no doubt that this is installing the virtues of the sweet leaf that I mean it is absolutely a celebration of marijuana you know straight people don't know what you're about man like and
[UNKNOWN]: sort of an album and anthem and just laid the foundation for a whole entire universe of music just centered around that cough loop and that riff.
[UNKNOWN]: All right.
[UNKNOWN]: Cool.
[UNKNOWN]: What is your next pick?
[UNKNOWN]: All right, smart guy.
[UNKNOWN]: You want to talk metal?
[UNKNOWN]: Let's talk metal.
[UNKNOWN]: My next up is speaking of black, you know, one of the, much like Black Sabbath, a band that had the absolute fucking codeness to make their first album and their first track on their first album, the name of their band, ladies and gentlemen, motorhead by motorhead.
[UNKNOWN]: It's so nice, what is this you are?
[UNKNOWN]: Don't do it, I just don't feel the right I can't see you on the line All the dreams come true I don't know what to say to love
[UNKNOWN]: So let me get fired from Hockwind.
[UNKNOWN]: And what does he do?
[UNKNOWN]: He takes one of the songs that he wrote for Hockwind, makes it his band name, his album name, and makes the first track a cover of the song.
[UNKNOWN]: And that's motorhead.
[UNKNOWN]: And honestly, the Hockwind song is pretty cool too.
[UNKNOWN]: It's such a statement, you know, it's like it's like the arrival for me like when I first heard this trash like oh, man Like how I try to think back of people who first heard motorhead for the first time after, you know, only knowing like even Hawquid It just like
[UNKNOWN]: is this, you know, it is just, it is fast, it is intense, and it is just motorhead is shit, you know, and this is track one, track one of the debut, you know, it's like, I don't know anyone, you know, like, I don't know, it's, let me a motorhead is one of the most important metal bands of all time.
[UNKNOWN]: period.
[UNKNOWN]: It's just a fact.
[UNKNOWN]: And it's just such a statement.
[UNKNOWN]: It's such a, it's such a, like a thesis.
[UNKNOWN]: It's like, no, this is who we are, man.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, can't get enough.
[UNKNOWN]: This is righteous stuff.
[UNKNOWN]: It goes up like prices on Christmas.
[UNKNOWN]: Because why it made its way to this list, it's not just because I love the song, but absolutely do.
[UNKNOWN]: It may be like a top five all-time motorhead song for me.
[UNKNOWN]: I love it that much.
[UNKNOWN]: Um,
[UNKNOWN]: But the reason why I picked it is that the song is absolutely celebrating speed.
[UNKNOWN]: Because the reason why lemme was fired from my winter one.
[UNKNOWN]: The reason is, you know, hot wind, of course, they were not exactly T-todlers, okay.
[UNKNOWN]: But speed was a little too much.
[UNKNOWN]: Just let's especially lemme on speed.
[UNKNOWN]: So it's, you know, again, it's such a statement, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: But it, like so it is a celebration of speed, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: Again, it, you know, I should be tired, but I am as wired, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: So I love this song.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's not about being a lover of cars, folks.
[UNKNOWN]: That's not what Motorhead means.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's about being a speed freak because that's what Lemmy was.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, he was a speed freak.
[UNKNOWN]: He was a Motorhead.
[UNKNOWN]: And this song definitely sounds like it was made by a speed freak.
[UNKNOWN]: It's super fast and super loud and just punchy go-go-go.
[UNKNOWN]: And this is the duality of Lemmy.
[UNKNOWN]: This punchy rip warring song about emphetamines that is being sung by a guy who sounds like he gargles with hot ass fault.
[UNKNOWN]: And yet it also has the word parallelogram in the lyrics, you know, I mean, the guy who drank a bottle of check Daniels every day also wrote Mama on coming home.
[UNKNOWN]: Like he was a real enigma for sure, cool.
[UNKNOWN]: He was one of one that let me man, I, I, you know, like, I mean, the man wrote it for Jimmy Hendrix, you know, I mean, imagine how young he was getting that blasted into your ears on a nightly basis, you know, like, what does that do to a person?
[UNKNOWN]: You know, and well, I'll tell you what it does.
[UNKNOWN]: It creates lemme.
[UNKNOWN]: And now we have like, and motorhead is such an important band because it really united metalhead and punks.
[UNKNOWN]: Metalheads and punks, because that was fightin' time.
[UNKNOWN]: But everyone loved this.
[UNKNOWN]: My fight was broke out.
[UNKNOWN]: Motorhead shows is because punks and metalheads said not, motorheads are.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, but let me always rejected the metal label.
[UNKNOWN]: He always described what he did and what people did after him as as just rock and roll baby.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, that's what he always feel viewed as he is.
[UNKNOWN]: And you hear what he's playing.
[UNKNOWN]: It just sounds like something that could be played in the 50s.
[UNKNOWN]: If you put it a little bit more acoustic, maybe sound it so slow to down, had some clean vocals.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's very much like, you know, the solo especially.
[UNKNOWN]: It's
[UNKNOWN]: Some like Chuck Berry or Bodiddly would string out.
[UNKNOWN]: It's very, in Lemmy and Motorhead's bones is old school rock and roll.
[UNKNOWN]: It's in their marrow.
[UNKNOWN]: It always informs them, despite them being the perveurs of what would become all sorts of different kinds of metal from Prash to whatever.
[UNKNOWN]: Motorhead at their heart and their soul would inform them always was just rock and roll.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, I mean, that's what guys of that generation, those British, you know, guys who came up in the 50s and 60s, that's what they were raised on, right?
[UNKNOWN]: Was was the list early days of rock and roll and the blues guys and the Beatles.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, Aussie loved the Beatles so much and you can see why let me and I see for such good friends because they had that kinship and they had that same kind of upbringing and that same kind of time period.
[UNKNOWN]: Also their superhuman ability to just bad things and keep going that also bonded them quite well I mean, I mean, I mean, Lemmy did a lot of drunken and drugging and chain smoking and he survived all of it and in the end what got him was cancer at 70
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I mean, the durability on some of these guys is just amazing, and that's why I think ultimately Keith Richards will outlive us all.
[UNKNOWN]: Yes.
[UNKNOWN]: it's almost like he's like the first one that had that gene and like everyone else in England and rock and roll at the time got that gene because like I read an article like Aussie had that gene too where he could just consume it was able to consume a heroic amount of drugs and guarantee let me have the same thing and and what's going to happen to Keith Bridges he's going to like fall down the stairs or something.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, like, that's what's going to happen.
[UNKNOWN]: It's not going to be any substances that kill these people.
[UNKNOWN]: And let me was one of one.
[UNKNOWN]: And he, I mean, like, and the fact that let me, let me was was so into all sorts of different types of rock and roll and metal and everything on the nature.
[UNKNOWN]: He, he was very much like a, a big tent guy, you know, he wanted to get everyone in and I think that informed from the, especially when he was forming that motor head.
[UNKNOWN]: He didn't, you know, metal heads and punks shouldn't be fine.
[UNKNOWN]: We're all on the same heavy side, you know, and thankfully got it got better, you know, but And we have motor head to thank for it.
[UNKNOWN]: He's like he's like Johnny cash to metal, you know, he just he's he's a turtle, you know, it's it's
[UNKNOWN]: I still miss him, you know, I still, you know, I, you know, he's, you know, motorhead is a very, very important band to me and yeah, I'll take any excuse to play this song even if it's celebrating a drug that I want nothing to do with it.
[UNKNOWN]: you and me both, you and me both, but my next pick, it's funny, that motorhead debut album came out in 77.
[UNKNOWN]: My next pick also came out in 77, but it's a much different design of rock and roll, I think.
[UNKNOWN]: This is Fleetwood Mac with another just massive, massive album rumors, and this is a song, Gold Dust Woman.
[UNKNOWN]: You better put your key down my foot's head
[UNKNOWN]: You make it cry, make it break down Shout out our illusions alone Let's get over now, do you know how?
[UNKNOWN]: Pick up the pieces and go home Let's get you make it cry, make it break down Shout out our illusions alone And now, tell me, is it over now?
[UNKNOWN]: Do you know how?
[UNKNOWN]: Pick up the pieces and go home
[UNKNOWN]: So this song is, it's probably about drugs, probably about cocaine, you know, rock on gold dust, woman, take your silver spoon, dig your grave, you know, coke spoon, but it's also a lot about just getting through bad relationship and the struggle that that brings.
[UNKNOWN]: boy was all of that stuff just permeating this whole album um... i mean the drama behind the making of this album is
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's as famous as the album itself, really.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, look, I'm going to say if we're back have personal issues, do they have personal issues?
[UNKNOWN]: Here and there, maybe, but yeah, I mean, the relationships, the breakups, the fighting, it's nuts.
[UNKNOWN]: What happened back then.
[UNKNOWN]: And you can just, you can really hear that heavy emotion come through on a song like this.
[UNKNOWN]: Especially at the end, when it's that kind of tribal drum beat and the guitars are like fighting over each other and you hear this whaling in the background, this this banshee scream, it's it's a really hunting song, color.
[UNKNOWN]: I think it may be my favorite Fleetwood Max on.
[UNKNOWN]: Like, you know, I'm not, I'm not gonna say here to tell you that I'm a huge Fleetwood Max fan.
[UNKNOWN]: It took a while for me to kind of warm to them, but gold dust woman.
[UNKNOWN]: And yes, because of when I grow up and I heard courtier get holes cover of it, which isn't bad, actually.
[UNKNOWN]: It's actually a pretty decent cover.
[UNKNOWN]: But you can hear why in this song, why it appeals to someone who's gonna do something little heavier, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: It's like dead, down.
[UNKNOWN]: And that whole that that informs the entire song and then you have just amazing vocals with just these really really haunting like like Pierce your soul lyrics with a chorus that is like both singable and like poignant, you know, did she make you cry, did she make you you know shadow shadow your illusions of love all of that stuff that that That comes through in this song.
[UNKNOWN]: uh, it's just, it's so great.
[UNKNOWN]: There's, there's textures.
[UNKNOWN]: It's got, like, kind of like, almost like a country blues kind of like he's doing like a almost steel guitar sound to, to the back of it.
[UNKNOWN]: It's just, it's such a, there's so many layers of it.
[UNKNOWN]: It's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
[UNKNOWN]: If you're so consuming, by the end too, when it crescendos, when you're having that whole whole thing, you're just making this kind of fire almost, you know, you can almost like you could see a house burning down to this song, you know, I adore this song, and I appreciate you putting it on, even, like, yeah, I mean, look, every song I played with Mac is about like, how they hate each other, you know, but,
[UNKNOWN]: That's what makes the, you know, it's like sometimes that tension creates magic man and it like there can be no doubt the timelessness of that this album, you know, I mean we're still talking about it like and it holds up and how many years later, I mean it is.
[UNKNOWN]: Like it is such a timestamp of of everything and it's still crazy you're absolutely right to hear like how motorhead was just starting and what Fleetwood Mac was doing on the pop scale, you know, I don't know, man.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm not trying to be it used to be better guy, but you know,
[UNKNOWN]: You know, he used to be better.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, I was thinking about it in this case too.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's kind of like how in wrestling every once in a while.
[UNKNOWN]: You'll just stop and you'll think, wow, these guys are really putting their bodies through hell.
[UNKNOWN]: for my personal enjoyment.
[UNKNOWN]: Rumours is basically that.
[UNKNOWN]: Wow, these guys are all fucking each other and snorting their brains out to make one of the best albums of all time.
[UNKNOWN]: I sure they appreciate them more.
[UNKNOWN]: I think Kola.
[UNKNOWN]: That's a great comp, that's an incredible comp because it is not only is it like all of that drama they were honest about it Like it's like they're honest about the drama that's going on.
[UNKNOWN]: They think they fucking sing about it.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's it and it like I don't know that
[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if they knew what they were doing was like going to create one of the greatest albums ever made, but it's like it's almost like they knew that like if we're going to do this everyone's going to know what's going on, you know, and we're going to use our feelings to create this art and it created fucking
[UNKNOWN]: magic, man.
[UNKNOWN]: Like I said, I'm not even that big of a fleet with that guy, but rumors in album, it's just, you can't touch it, man.
[UNKNOWN]: It's, it's, it's an all-timer.
[UNKNOWN]: It's just, it's a perfect album.
[UNKNOWN]: Like I said, like, people talk about it, like just hearing about it for the first time and like really getting into it in, in 2021.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's incredible.
[UNKNOWN]: The timelessness of this album.
[UNKNOWN]: Gold dust woman could have been made now and would have been a huge hit, you know, because it's so it's short enough.
[UNKNOWN]: It's not like it's radio friendly, but dense and it goes through a lot and deals with like heavy, like, honest stuff, you know, it's just it's wonderful.
[UNKNOWN]: I love this song.
[UNKNOWN]: I love this album.
[UNKNOWN]: All right, love to hear it, love to hear it.
[UNKNOWN]: Um,
[UNKNOWN]: But, okay, Colo, what's your next pick?
[UNKNOWN]: All right, well, we're gonna double dip into the Josh Hami department.
[UNKNOWN]: And we're gonna stick where I, my preference of Josh Hami lives, and it is when he's playing with John Garcia, Brandt Bjork, and John Olvary, or, you know,
[UNKNOWN]: It's okay if he's not nickel a very sorry.
[UNKNOWN]: So if he's if he's playing with those four guys I'll take it.
[UNKNOWN]: It's I'll take it any time of the week and I just wanted to happen But anyway, this is Kaius with 50 million year trip
[UNKNOWN]: Thanks for watching!
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so this is my one, I'm using one of my stoner metal cards with this one with chius because it's pretty much a pretty foundational band and it's to me it's it's where like I think it's for Josh Hammies and it's like finest is like when he's
[UNKNOWN]: he's doing the perfect combination.
[UNKNOWN]: He still creates those textures that he likes to do and those those tracks that he likes to do, but he's, I don't know, he's unapologetic about what he's doing, you know, and I feel like it's like it's so heavy and intense and the lyrics are so simple and the vocals are intense, but then they do this slow down thing.
[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if you're noticing a theme with me Andrew, but I do love it when metal songs get slow.
[UNKNOWN]: and kind of gets off to a little bit when they slow down, take the time a little bit.
[UNKNOWN]: And this song does that.
[UNKNOWN]: It does this really intense, like almost like you're writing on a motorcycle, right, or you're like, it's like you're watching off from a rocket, you know, and then once it stops, once it gets that part, you know, where they're just kind of jamming out, that's when you're kind of in space.
[UNKNOWN]: And to me, like that's, that's all I want out of my heavy music is stuff that sounds like this.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I really dug this.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm actually not a big fan of that super sludgy, slow down, stoner metal.
[UNKNOWN]: So this is one having that zest to it.
[UNKNOWN]: It is much appreciated.
[UNKNOWN]: I also like the more melodic stuff in the second half, into the guitar solo that also sounded really good.
[UNKNOWN]: And similar to feel good hit of the summer, not much in the way of lyrics, but I guess if you're on a 50 million year long second-to-lick trip,
[UNKNOWN]: You don't really need them any lyrics, you know, it's all about the feelings, man.
[UNKNOWN]: So I get it, Kola.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's all about the vibes, bro.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's just, you know, it's just all about the vibes, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: And that's, I don't know, like, I just feel like Kaius was so unapologetic about that.
[UNKNOWN]: Um, I mean, you, first, like, for one, you have brand-port York on the drums, and that man loved his symbols, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: Like, he, like, it's, you listen, that song.
[UNKNOWN]: It's just,
[UNKNOWN]: you know, you let's just love the symbols, but it's sort of a super group now because all of them went on to go do their own things.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, John Garcia had her mono-nickle of Eris, like in all sorts of stuff, the dwarves, I saw him live and blast.
[UNKNOWN]: I saw him take like a cactus jack,
[UNKNOWN]: bump back bump onto like he just dove off the stage and just like didn't get into the pit but got that part in between the pit and just took a flat-back bump like he's McFully it was incredible but he played bass for this track and then you had John Garcia or John Garcia's vocalist and then Josh Hommie kind of ties it all out.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean I know Josh Hommie's the guy that kind of went on to be the more the more the bigger star you know we'll say it like wrestling he he came on to be the more popular
[UNKNOWN]: Um, but I would give anything and I and I will use this platform Andrew rich to start my campaign and I hope you all will join me Let's get this band back together, man.
[UNKNOWN]: Let's let them do our union to do.
[UNKNOWN]: Do you see what acid bath is doing acid bath?
[UNKNOWN]: They're coming to Red Rocks.
[UNKNOWN]: They can't hide us could do think of what Kaius could do.
[UNKNOWN]: They'd still wembley Anyway, bring it in Kaius.
[UNKNOWN]: Please reunite have just one tour one tour.
[UNKNOWN]: That's all I want just one tour play the hits You know while you're still alive.
[UNKNOWN]: That's all I want
[UNKNOWN]: Tell us how you really feel, my goodness, this is going to be awesome, Andrew.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, here's the thing, you know, I, I knew Josh Hammie and Nicola very weren't chias, but I'll be honest, I did not know that the drummer's name was Brent Bjork, and he's the only other Bjork I've ever heard of in my entire life, and it
[UNKNOWN]: It just makes me imagine the other Bjork in this band, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: I am drinking, I am rolling, I mean, it'd be a fun novel, I was going to say a cow, I hear that.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, oh, I don't know, like, you know, I wouldn't mind hearing Bjork cover a kiosk song.
[UNKNOWN]: Let's see what she does with the green machine.
[UNKNOWN]: I'll take it, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
[UNKNOWN]: if you like that but seriously injury if you like that if like this this style of the the the stoner metal lane would probably more to your taste especially kia okay so if like it's I promise you know give give give give them a spin you'll you'll thank yourself you like give those albums a spin if you ever feel in the the the inkling for some Josh hobby try some kia's you will you will you will be reward
[UNKNOWN]: I believe you.
[UNKNOWN]: Um, but all right.
[UNKNOWN]: I will keep the LSD trip rolling here.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to go back to the psychedelic days of the 1960s, 1967.
[UNKNOWN]: This is a band called the first edition of their subtitled album.
[UNKNOWN]: And this is a rather wordy title.
[UNKNOWN]: This is just
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[UNKNOWN]: Tripped on a cloud and fell I ate my eyes I told my mind On a jagged sky I just dropped in To see what condition my condition was in Yeah, yeah Oh yeah, what condition my condition was in
[UNKNOWN]: I pushed my soul in a deep, dark hole, and then I followed it in.
[UNKNOWN]: I watched myself crawling out as I would.
[UNKNOWN]: The Bums lost Mr. Lebowski.
[UNKNOWN]: The Bums will always lose.
[UNKNOWN]: What about what's going to do it?
[UNKNOWN]: Putting aside the co-imbrother of it all, this song is a real trip, no pun intended, for several reasons.
[UNKNOWN]: Number one, it's Kenny freakin' Rogers on lead vocals.
[UNKNOWN]: Him doing this, stuck a delicate rock song about LSD is wild in and of itself.
[UNKNOWN]: You also have Glenn Campbell on guitar.
[UNKNOWN]: Some of these lyrics are just amazing.
[UNKNOWN]: I woke up this morning with the sundown, shining in.
[UNKNOWN]: I tore my mind in a jagged sky.
[UNKNOWN]: I got up so tight, I couldn't unwind.
[UNKNOWN]: I saw so much, I broke my mind.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, oh yeah, what condition my condition was in and it's funny.
[UNKNOWN]: It was written by a guy named Mickey Newberry as like a warning about the dangers of using LSD I don't do this struggle.
[UNKNOWN]: You'll break your brain, but nowadays that message is probably forgotten and it's more about the dream sequence from Big La Bowsky.
[UNKNOWN]: At least it is for me, uh, cool.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, listen, if you don't think I was standing up doing the Blubowski walked down the stairs, move, you know, you know, you're out of your butt, it's Blubowski's like one of my favorite, to me it's like the best coin brother's movie, I think it's their masterpiece, I love that movie, but no, this song does kick ass and I actually,
[UNKNOWN]: I did not know that Glenn Campbell was in this band as well.
[UNKNOWN]: I knew Kenny fucking Rogers was, because I don't know.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm not a big Kenny Rogers guy.
[UNKNOWN]: I think he was a session guy, Glenn Campbell.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, well, Glenn Campbell guy, I'm not a big Glenn Campbell guy.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm going to be honest with you, because he was one of those bands that my mom would play when it was time to stop playing video games and fucking due chores or whatever.
[UNKNOWN]: She always played, like just ruined any hope of me ever liking Glenn Campbell.
[UNKNOWN]: It's like a Pavlovian response where it's just like,
[UNKNOWN]: away.
[UNKNOWN]: So it it floors me that those two people that I generally don't enjoy created a song so fucking awesome.
[UNKNOWN]: Like you're telling me you wrote he really thought having a chorus it said just dropped in to see what condition my condition would have been was warning against LSD.
[UNKNOWN]: He thought that was like, oh man, I don't want to do that at all.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, who hears that and says like I
[UNKNOWN]: thought of, I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.
[UNKNOWN]: Like you said, it's a very wordy and the lyrics of it are so are just as crazy in the verses, you know, when he's, you know, talking about this LSD trip.
[UNKNOWN]: So if they're trying to make it sound like something to stay away from, they fucked up.
[UNKNOWN]: That's what I read anyway, I don't know, but, um, blame Wikipedia, I guess, but, um, but what's wild as well is that this song, it was done by other people before the first edition.
[UNKNOWN]: In fact, Jerry Lee Lewis of all people did the first recorded version of this song.
[UNKNOWN]: And I heard at the other day, it sounds very different than the one we got here, um,
[UNKNOWN]: It's actually a pretty good version, just nothing like the one we all know, Colossus.
[UNKNOWN]: I did not know Jerry Lewis covered that.
[UNKNOWN]: I would like to listen to that.
[UNKNOWN]: I did, I was the first recorded, I can't imagine.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, because I know a little bit of Jerry Lewis and I just like, I guess it's because this version of the song is so embedded in my brain for decades, you know, it's like, I know the song by heart again, you know, it's like, I know that I can, as every time I hear it, I see the lapowski sequence.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's it's it's it's inescapable, you know, I mean it really what's it's it's it shows that like Cohen brothers are like one of the gods of of music drops in movies like that nobody like I think only like Quentin Tarantino and like maybe a couple others do it as good as the Collins terms of like drop it like music drops in movies and and it
[UNKNOWN]: gave this song a life to a generation.
[UNKNOWN]: I certainly, my parents weren't going to show this song to me, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: So it gave new life to this song that a generation of, of get beyond of people that song, which is good because the song kind of kicks ass, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: So I'm happy, I'm happy that it got that life and it just, to me it's like, I don't know, it's synonymous with the comments and I think that's fine.
[UNKNOWN]: I think that's a good, I think that's just fine.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I did that absolute cinema episode some months ago with Paul Wedding, and there was Cohen Brothers, I love the damn place on that thing.
[UNKNOWN]: So, you see me in the music, in the movie channel, dude, like Cohen Brothers, to me, you're like, I'm an absolute psycho about the colors.
[UNKNOWN]: I think they're like one of the greatest filmmakers of their generation, and should be high on a list of greatest filmmakers of all time.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, that's how, I mean that move out of the colors.
[UNKNOWN]: I think that they are just the greatest.
[UNKNOWN]: I've glad you, I know you, you feel the same because we quote serious man do each other all the time.
[UNKNOWN]: Sai Abelman, we look at the parking lot.
[UNKNOWN]: You know?
[UNKNOWN]: Just put that parking lot.
[UNKNOWN]: What happened to the guy the guy who cares I could love that movie I don't care if I'll send Tana a praxis I just had a terrible automobile We got to move on we got it will be your all day will be your all day
[UNKNOWN]: So my next one, or do you want me to move on to the next one?
[UNKNOWN]: Go ahead, go ahead.
[UNKNOWN]: Is so to move on from LeBowski things and to use my second stone or metal card, my second stone or metal rope break, so to speak, is a band from New Jersey called Monster Magnet, and it's a song from their Spine of God, debut album, not seen.
[UNKNOWN]: 15 last week, our ball has been raised Boys, we're gonna lie tonight Koof balls and seven is never To be sure that I'll get our hits to fly And send me in the lap of the God's play
[UNKNOWN]: Love will be the skin and...
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, so Monster Magnets, another one of those really kind of foundation-only important bands in my kind of musicals, I guess, the biggest hit was Space Lord, but this is from their debut album.
[UNKNOWN]: They're very much kind of like into very heavy psychedelic music.
[UNKNOWN]: They're much more informed.
[UNKNOWN]: They're not informed by Black Sabbath, but they're much more informed by the psychedelic scene that sort of came before Sabbath.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, that kind of heavy psych scene from the late 60s, so you can, and you can hear it in their music.
[UNKNOWN]: It's very much, and the whole song is about essentially nostalgia for the drug field, psych era of the late 60s, early 70s, you know, I mean, the whole, the, you know, the opens with bottomed other copy of fragile, you know, see the scenes were busted at the spine, you know, it repeats it again with bottomed other copy of Zozo.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's about like being nostalgic for living in that 70s, like 80s, says it in the lyric, they just goofballs in 70s, nipples.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's about a person wanting to be live back, live in that world where all that exists is the drug use and the battery of the of the 1670s.
[UNKNOWN]: That's kind of monster magnus whole vibe, you know, is sort of like,
[UNKNOWN]: like proud debauchery, you know, that's really what their kind of whole thing is about, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: And they really keep doing it.
[UNKNOWN]: They've kept doing it forever.
[UNKNOWN]: They're still going to this day.
[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, I'm always happy to be honest, Andrew, a lot of the stone or metal that I like and listen to, they don't really talk that explicitly about doing drugs.
[UNKNOWN]: It's mostly about like, you know,
[UNKNOWN]: You know, Robert E. Howard fucking fantasy kthulu shit, you know, it's like, it's, you know, I know like sleeps a little different and there's other bands are a little bit more explicit, but a lot of it's not it's like even though you'll see a band called like, I don't know,
[UNKNOWN]: Um, but their lyrics won't be about anything explicitly regarding marijuana or drug use in general.
[UNKNOWN]: Monster magnet is not those guys.
[UNKNOWN]: Monster magnet is a very explicit about like the drug use and celebrating.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: The inside sleeve of this album that I own on vinyl, it says like it's a Satan worshiping drug thing you wouldn't understand, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: So that's that's the song and that's Monster magnet.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, I figured, you know, since sweetly, it started with Tonya Yomi coughing from a joint.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, this one starts with a guy deeply inhaling and exhaling.
[UNKNOWN]: So real kindred spirits there in that regard.
[UNKNOWN]: But, yeah, I mean, I could feel the grease and the grime and the sleeves just oozing through this one, because it's not just about doing weed.
[UNKNOWN]: There's doing whipets, goofballs, hires a kite everybody, goofballs.
[UNKNOWN]: Look at it old porno mags, cover me with skin and hair.
[UNKNOWN]: It does just come across real gross.
[UNKNOWN]: But I do appreciate the reference to fragile and Zeppelin 4, so that's nice, Cola.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's kind of, like I said, it's kind of that sleaze is kind of monster mag that's whole vibe, you know, it's like,
[UNKNOWN]: blasted out of your mind on all sorts of different drugs and just like complete like being a cototal like hedonist, you know, they're kind of the Dionysus of the whole fucking scene is like they celebrate it and honestly don't understand why you don't, you know, that's that sort of their whole vibe.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, like I honestly, I read the lyrics for the first time and because I always thought at the end when he says, write a number one on the home train, I literally,
[UNKNOWN]: Which would not sound out of place in a soft fit, you know, it fit in this thing.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah Yeah, I appreciate you.
[UNKNOWN]: I appreciate you going through that little bit of muck, you know, but you Not go without getting a little dirty around here for their Andrew.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, let me let me say this.
[UNKNOWN]: It's funny I know only two other monster magnet songs one of them is space lord But the other one which I'm a lot more familiar with is live for the moment the Matt Hardy theme
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[UNKNOWN]: You know, and you know, it's, and the thing is they don't change the style of music they're making, they're still pretty much monster magnet, you know, but they're like, I don't give it sure I'll make something for WWE who gives it shit, you know, that is that's monster magnet's whole vibe, and it really doesn't get sleazy isn't that, you know,
[UNKNOWN]: Alright, let's step into the world of black splitation, my next pick, 1972, the movie Superfly comes out and the guy who does the soundtrack, man named Curtis Mayfield, and this is like the
[UNKNOWN]: Will you leave once I'm cold?
[UNKNOWN]: Have some weed, you won't be I'm your friend
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, not too shabby.
[UNKNOWN]: I love that bassline and the percussion work just going along, sounds so cool.
[UNKNOWN]: And then like a tarlet comes in, don't down, don't down, don't down, oh, it's it's so good.
[UNKNOWN]: And you know, it's a song about a drug dealer, namely the main character in the movie, Superfly, he's a cocaine dealer.
[UNKNOWN]: And the song, it manages to, you know, capture the lure of the drug dealer.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, Curtis Mayfield has this really high gentle voice.
[UNKNOWN]: to ease your worries.
[UNKNOWN]: Hey, I got what you need, come on, man, and talking about having money and the the baddest bitches in the bed.
[UNKNOWN]: And he's super cool.
[UNKNOWN]: He's super fly.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, also.
[UNKNOWN]: you know lamenting his station in life, a man of odd circumstance, a victim of ghetto demands, been told I can't be nothing else, just a hustler in spite of myself, and then the song ends with Lord Lord, it's all messed up.
[UNKNOWN]: So there is the critique as well, and apparently that's what Curtis was going for with the soundtrack.
[UNKNOWN]: He thought the movie was too neutral about drugs and dealers
[UNKNOWN]: and a lot more critical about the characters and about that lifestyle.
[UNKNOWN]: But even just beyond that stuff, it's just a freaking awesome song, Kola.
[UNKNOWN]: It's one of the greatest base for fucking riffs of all time.
[UNKNOWN]: boom, boom, boom, it's like, that's, it's iconic.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean Curtis Mayfield's the fucking man.
[UNKNOWN]: And it's one of those instances where it's like, it feels like the soundtrack sort of makes the movie.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's like, I feel like if you put the same movie to any other soundtrack, it's just like a normal-ass movie, but like Curtis Mayfield, like this soundtrack in particular, just like really hammers home and actually has like a,
[UNKNOWN]: It's it's it's so groovy and again, it's one of those timeless songs that like it's been sampled a lot.
[UNKNOWN]: I know we just in the music league.
[UNKNOWN]: We went through a Who's suited the sample kind of a thing so it's but Curtis Mayfield is so celebrated for that reason not just like the reason why he was so sampled is because the shit he made was so catchy and so great and and really, you know, like you could take that bass riff and apply it to all sorts of things.
[UNKNOWN]: It would mean something completely different.
[UNKNOWN]: You know and that and but with this bass riff with Curtis Mayfield's like really really great vocals I love his vocals.
[UNKNOWN]: I love the high fall set-ups Maybe it's because I was a tenor in high school But it like I love the high fall set-up that he he gets into because it it conveys a pain But he also like acknowledges like it's pretty cool
[UNKNOWN]: you know, like it's like he's he he's honest about it in terms of like saying it and directly not necessarily celebrating but sort of creating the mood of what it feels like to be this like pretty successful drug dealer, you know, and and
[UNKNOWN]: What he and then he tries to convey like throughout like there's there's something else It's gonna happen and at the end of he's always trying to get over and that he's setting himself up for a life Or this is just gonna be his life.
[UNKNOWN]: It's just a constant, you know, trying to get over trying to you know You know, that's what your life is you the push your man, you know, what a great song It's like there's stories upon stories in the song itself that it's almost like it's the movie is almost secondary
[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I mean, definitely.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, even though I'm Wikipedia, you type in superfly that the list that comes up, number one is the soundtrack, the movie is second.
[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, it's just one of those cases where the soundtrack just becomes bigger.
[UNKNOWN]: than the movie.
[UNKNOWN]: Number one album as well on the charts and you're really really boosted Curtis Mayfield's career and got him other work on soundtrack as well.
[UNKNOWN]: And it's become you know one of if not the defining work of his soul career goal of so.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, each or hard outside of the night, favor, you know, like, it's one of those instances where because it's sampled and this is why I always like got annoyed when any like artists got annoyed when like someone from hip hop with sample their shit, is it like it makes your stuff immortal, man, like people are going to listen to the soulfly to the superfly soundtrack.
[UNKNOWN]: So fly super fly soundtrack forever, you know, it's just it's one of those timeless things and it's I just it I cannot accept that it has nothing to do with the fact that Blot a shit from that album is sampled in hip hop like to this day This thing is over 50 years ago at this point, so I
[UNKNOWN]: That's staying power, man.
[UNKNOWN]: That's, you know, you guys some good stuff when you got that.
[UNKNOWN]: And I've songwriter, baby.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, speaking of songwriting and, you know, quintessential songs here, Kola, what's your next pick?
[UNKNOWN]: Well, I'm going with, so I know I've been celebrating a little bit.
[UNKNOWN]: Maybe I should take a look at how bad it can get.
[UNKNOWN]: So I picked one of my favorites.
[UNKNOWN]: It is a cover of a Chris Christopheerson song, but it is Johnny Cash with Sunday Morning coming down.
[UNKNOWN]: Then I walked across the street and called the Sunday smell of some ones, Brian chicken.
[UNKNOWN]: And wanted to put me back to something that I lost somewhere, somehow along the way.
[UNKNOWN]: On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
[UNKNOWN]: I wish in Lord that I was told Was there something in a Sunday That makes the body feel alone And there's nothing short of time That's half as long as the sound
[UNKNOWN]: Obviously, Ben was at his side, whoa.
[UNKNOWN]: And Sun didn't want him coming down.
[UNKNOWN]: Just a absolutely beautiful song.
[UNKNOWN]: Some of the coolest and like just like rawest lyrics you'll ever hear.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that couldn't hurt.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad.
[UNKNOWN]: So I had one more for dessert.
[UNKNOWN]: Man, that's a guy going through it, you know, and and that's the whole point of the song, and this is of course the cover, this is actually this recording is from Johnny Cash at the tonight show, I think, and
[UNKNOWN]: I think it was the Johnny Cash show.
[UNKNOWN]: I believe it was Johnny Cash show.
[UNKNOWN]: That's right.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I think that's it.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, he was recording on the Johnny Cash show and it charted.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it was a big hit and ABC said, well, we have a little problem with the, I wish I was stoned Lerick.
[UNKNOWN]: Could he maybe say I wish I was home.
[UNKNOWN]: And you know, no one's going to tell the fucking Johnny Cash what to do.
[UNKNOWN]: And so he said stone and the song was still a big hit record guy.
[UNKNOWN]: So like what's the problem?
[UNKNOWN]: You know, it's, you know, it's and apparently Chris Christofferson like just had all the respect and actually said like now that song blows the Johnny Cash.
[UNKNOWN]: But it, it, it, it doesn't, because like Christopher Stoffson, that's like, to me, that's like his best work, like that, something, like, he was always a great songwriter, but like Sunday morning coming down, like something was in him that day when he wrote that track down, because it's like, it is such a, it's such a heavy song, and I like the, I like Johnny Cash is interpretation of it because it's like, Johnny Cash was always a guy that felt like hope was important.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, and that hope was like, and you can, it's a lot more hopeful at the end.
[UNKNOWN]: It's like he's, he's kind of realizing like what his life is becoming because he's just he said on a Sunday morning when, you know, he's seeing a dad play with his kids or someone Brian chicken, you know, and it's, to me, the interpretation of this version is like, there's, you know, he's starting to like kind of try to see the error of his ways, you know.
[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I said the word quintessential earlier.
[UNKNOWN]: This is the quintessential hangover song.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, Hell yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: Chris Christopheerson had such a way with words.
[UNKNOWN]: I'd smoked my brain the night before on cigarettes and songs that I'd been picking.
[UNKNOWN]: That's a hell of a line all by itself right there.
[UNKNOWN]: Um, then I headed back for home, and somewhere far away, a lonely bell was ringing, and it echoed through the canyon, it's like the disappearing dreams of yesterday, so she's just Christ through.
[UNKNOWN]: It's a tad more elegant than goofballs and 70s nipples.
[UNKNOWN]: Pussy scratch and stiffen a playboy.
[UNKNOWN]: Just a little bit nicer and more poetic than that, I think.
[UNKNOWN]: Sure.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that is correct.
[UNKNOWN]: But Christopher said, yeah man, hell of a career, even just as a songwriter, I mean, other people did his songs and made them big, you know, this me and Bobby McGee for the good times.
[UNKNOWN]: So he was fine on that sense, but yeah, y'all sweat his own singing career, and then the same guy goes on to be in the Blade Movies.
[UNKNOWN]: Isn't that amazing the same guy who wrote this song ends up, you know, hang out with Wesley Snipes and Steven Dorf.
[UNKNOWN]: It's, it's amazing, Kola.
[UNKNOWN]: What a life.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, no, man.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, like he was Billy the kid, you know, in Sam Peckham Pause movie, you know, he was like, he was a, Chris Christopheism was a real one, man.
[UNKNOWN]: He was, uh,
[UNKNOWN]: And you know, it's we kind of mentioned a little bit earlier with the Hank Williams three, but I mean, Chris Christophe was very much about that life, you know, especially at that time, a lot of drinking and you can you can hear this was a man that was writing down exactly what happened to him every Sunday morning.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, like, it's like, I don't know, like you feel it, you hear it, you know, like, it's, it's one of the, I don't know, man, it's, I like Chris Christoffensen's version, but to me, like, cash is version has a little bit more of a more production to it.
[UNKNOWN]: And I'm not really a guy that likes things paired down, but I like the, I like the, I like the contrast of a hangover song being like having a lot of production, you know, because that's really what makes the hangover like drives at home, right?
[UNKNOWN]: Like you want to, you want, I want to
[UNKNOWN]: Well, speaking of alcohol and, you know, country, you know, southern kind of guys here.
[UNKNOWN]: My next pick, similar vein.
[UNKNOWN]: This is from 2015, a band called Nathaniel Raidliff and the night sweats.
[UNKNOWN]: And this is a song that really helped put them on the map.
[UNKNOWN]: This one is called SOB.
[UNKNOWN]: How far 17 years have it?
[UNKNOWN]: Go in the end.
[UNKNOWN]: 17 all around, very mean.
[UNKNOWN]: And some night, please, just tell me down.
[UNKNOWN]: Awesome, gonna get me a goddamn drink.
[UNKNOWN]: So one of the benefits of not being a drinker is, I've never suffered from alcohol withdrawal.
[UNKNOWN]: The DTs, as the kids say, but Nathaniel Raidlif has, and he wrote a song about it, and for a song about withdrawal and describing how his hands are shaken and
[UNKNOWN]: feels like bugs are crawling all over him.
[UNKNOWN]: It's still a rather upbeat sounding number.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, there's a gospel spin on it with the mhm, and the clapping.
[UNKNOWN]: I love when he just plainly goes, somebody get me a goddamn drink.
[UNKNOWN]: And even when he just breaks down in the chorus,
[UNKNOWN]: and you know, son of a bitch, give me a drink, one more night, please, I beg you, give me a drink, please, like, his suffering still sounds kind of fun.
[UNKNOWN]: Like, hey, Revit are rocking good time as this guy goes nuts, but yeah, I always don't this song a lot to call it.
[UNKNOWN]: It sounds like it'd be pretty one, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: It's absolutely right, it sounds like a guy like self-destructing in the middle of a concert, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: Like it sounds like a guy actively like self-destructing, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: Which is exactly how I want to do this song out of karaoke one day.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I just want to get just shit hammered and do this I'm going to karaoke.
[UNKNOWN]: It's going to happen one day and for but no I I I adore I've loved this song for a long time I think it's like it's it's catchy but like it's
[UNKNOWN]: It's so real, you know, for someone who, like, I don't get the shakes, not that much of an alcoholic.
[UNKNOWN]: I don't get the shakes or anything like that, but I've absolutely, like, been with lived with seeing people that are those kind of addicted, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: And it's like, it's, it's just so crazy, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: And so like, to to see them go through that,
[UNKNOWN]: like for something that I like do all the time, you know, it's just like it's it's it's it's a lot like people who can who can gamble without becoming addicted to gambling, you know, it's like you see someone doing something that like you oh man you don't that's a bad idea don't do that.
[UNKNOWN]: you know, but it's like when you're when you're hooked, you know, when they got the hooks India, it's um, it's a rough go, man.
[UNKNOWN]: And this song actually conveys that beautifully, you know, at the same time, because I like the kind of dancing number because it's sort of, it shows the chaotic juxtaposition, especially since he's so, it's he's so honest about it, because son of a bitch, you know, it's like it's, this is a guy who's really making it like, you know, honest.
[UNKNOWN]: And they played the song on Fallen to promote the album.
[UNKNOWN]: And that's what made people really take notice of them.
[UNKNOWN]: And then last year, they played a show at MSG.
[UNKNOWN]: And Jimmy Fallen actually came up on stage and sang in with them.
[UNKNOWN]: And Fallen is a guy who himself,
[UNKNOWN]: has had his own alleged drinking problems.
[UNKNOWN]: So who knows, he might relate to this song, I guess, Cola.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that's very true.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I first heard this song actually in season three episode one of Fargo.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, yeah, it's been in a bunch of shows.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, for sure.
[UNKNOWN]: It's a great song.
[UNKNOWN]: That's where I first became aware of the song.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, this song's fucking awesome, so, and it's been in my rotation regular playlist ever since.
[UNKNOWN]: I love this song.
[UNKNOWN]: So I was happy to see it on there because it's cool song.
[UNKNOWN]: And I wasn't aware until we, our music lead, had to stacks round, had to stacks record me.
[UNKNOWN]: Yep.
[UNKNOWN]: I did not know that he's a stacks guy and I totally like I felt like a dope because I'm like of course he's a stacks guy Listen to those horns, you know those are Memphis horns there, you know, so it was you know So I did not know that until that round, but he's a stacks guy and stacks is one of my favorite record labels of all time So I was happy to see that you know, it's like it's like having two friends of yours mutually meet on their own You know, it's like oh look at you, you know I'm glad I didn't have to facilitate this
[UNKNOWN]: All right, Cola, what's your second to last pick here?
[UNKNOWN]: All right, my second to last pick is, so I worked really hard to try to find songs that we're trying to talk about the dangers and ramifications of marijuana use and confide it doesn't exist.
[UNKNOWN]: So the closest thing I got was Keras 1, I can't wake up.
[UNKNOWN]: So we broke, he hit it, really hit it And pass me the day I saw, nail I saw took a hit
[UNKNOWN]: Listen to the teacher with children.
[UNKNOWN]: Do marijuana and YouTube will have a nightmare of being a blunt that is chased around by other rappers and even a president stay away stay away now You know, now it's a song such a goofy song and it's so weird for Keras one to do a song like this this is a weird al-sau And this is so goofy, you know, but it's just like it's and it's on like what probably my favorite Keras one like album return to the boom But it's like I think and don't
[UNKNOWN]: Don't you know, I think it's like one of the albums he did like one of his like big returns after his original producer from Boogie down Productions or DJ got shot and so this this album is with DJ premiere and my god it's just it's a the whole album's a monster and this is an album this is the album that has sound to the police.
[UNKNOWN]: on it.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, like Harris, one's always been like a sort of a politically minded, you know, like for his entire career, every, you know, he, he talks about like not just the stories of the street, but tries to address what causes them the systematic issues that cause it.
[UNKNOWN]: And then he sings this song about getting rolled up at a blood and being asked to like, how's the pain?
[UNKNOWN]: She had to die dead, his role on him.
[UNKNOWN]: So it's just such a goofy song.
[UNKNOWN]: Like I said, it's the closest thing I could find to trying to highlight the paroles and risks of using marijuana.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I'll be honest.
[UNKNOWN]: I was a little disappointed that it's Keras won the rapper and not the Kings of Wrestling's tag finisher.
[UNKNOWN]: Being on the straight there.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, all I could do with this one is just, you know, shred my shoulders because it's got to be the goofiest way to shout out a bunch of rappers in the song ever.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, because it references, you know, yeah, House of Pain, Cypress Hill, Red Man, Kid Capri, Dala Sol, even Bill Clinton takes a puff.
[UNKNOWN]: But he doesn't inhale.
[UNKNOWN]: That'll be, yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: That's true.
[UNKNOWN]: But yeah, this is a nice slap some for some reason.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: This is some new boot goofen right here.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: Also, I just thought it was funny.
[UNKNOWN]: You mentioned like, you know, albums and all that.
[UNKNOWN]: This song is early on in his solo debut album.
[UNKNOWN]: Like, he might think like, something like this.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay, this might be a hidden track or a bonus track.
[UNKNOWN]: This is song number four.
[UNKNOWN]: Right.
[UNKNOWN]: Like, we're getting real silly Billy early on here, Colette.
[UNKNOWN]: It's amazing.
[UNKNOWN]: It's yeah, and again, care as one is not like the, you know, it's like I even flavor wrapped about more serious shit and he got a chance, you know, like it's it's so it's just such a goofball song, but I don't know, I adore it.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm a weird alpha, what could I say, you know, it's just it's so it's so absurd, you know, it's like I almost view in my head a
[UNKNOWN]: music video of this where he's like dressed as like a blunt, you know, and like running around with like big oversized like ever lasts like reaching for him or whatever, you know, I, you know, it makes itself in in another universe it would have existed, but I just it's just such a goofball song and I like I said it to me, it's like
[UNKNOWN]: I don't know.
[UNKNOWN]: It's nice to see KRS one super serious, you know, the dad of hip-hop sometimes.
[UNKNOWN]: Kind of, love his hair down a little bit and get, you know, you have a little lighter side of it.
[UNKNOWN]: It's nice to see when a guy kind of, you know, takes a little bit of a break.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, not everything has to be so serious all the time.
[UNKNOWN]: It's kind of like a nightmare scene and I don't know, like how high or half baked, you know, one of those stone or movies or something like that.
[UNKNOWN]: Absolutely.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, but
[UNKNOWN]: Alright, my second to last pick here, I'm going to stay in the 90s with this one with the band primus, off their album Tales from the Punch Bowl, and this one is called Over the Electric Grapevine.
[UNKNOWN]: First of all, in a obligatory premise sucks, just got to get that out of the way.
[UNKNOWN]: Of course.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, another acid song, and it's based on a true story of less Claypool and his friend Adam driving to LA while they were in his words, fried on acid.
[UNKNOWN]: and it is all these references to things that happen to them during the trip like hearing introduce yourself by faith no more come on the radio and buying all this candy and Adam calling into a radio station and less here's his voice coming through the radio and all that laughing because of you know they're off their guard you know so and I just I love the way that it sounds kind of like an acid trip itself
[UNKNOWN]: tension and uneasiness of not being on solid mental ground, you know, from less is base playing.
[UNKNOWN]: That just rattles your skull, but I don't remember, but I remember, but I remember, and the drumming is very tempestual and heavy.
[UNKNOWN]: And even that recurring guitar line, dirtoon, dirtoon, dirtoon, that's a bit creepy too.
[UNKNOWN]: And if anyone knows how to make creepy and unnerving music that can still be accessible, and you still want to like bang your head and rock out to it, it's primus cool.
[UNKNOWN]: Absolutely.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, this album is another one of those like that, you know, in my marrow, you know, this is the album that had big, my known as Big Brown Beaver, you know, who doesn't remember that music video.
[UNKNOWN]: But no, this, what I, you know, if, if that monster magnet track was about tripping acid in your bedroom, this is about tripping acid like what you're driving.
[UNKNOWN]: So it's much more intentional, like you say, it's like,
[UNKNOWN]: You know, like when you're just like laying out on your bed or whatever, you're not thinking about shit, so you can just kind of let the chemicals overtake your brain.
[UNKNOWN]: Whereas this one feels like all right, we got to play it cool, man.
[UNKNOWN]: We got to play it cool.
[UNKNOWN]: It feels like a hundred-est Thompson.
[UNKNOWN]: Like, honestly, I see like, you know, the Ralph Stedman, you know, and, you know, illustration kind of thing when I hear this song.
[UNKNOWN]: I think the interview I read where he lets tell the story he references, Hunter S Thompson.
[UNKNOWN]: And I'm talking about that, so that link's up there.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, that tracks.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, it's very much like you could, you know, it's, this would fit right in with any story about Hunter S. Thompson.
[UNKNOWN]: It's kind of like, it's like, I don't know, it's much more intentional.
[UNKNOWN]: A little bit more paranoid, you know, it's, you know, like it's, it's, you know, intentional in its direction, but yeah, it rocks because primus rocks and less Claypool knows his way around
[UNKNOWN]: for sure.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, you know, Prime Minister's just one of those bands, I think unmistakable is the right word for them.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, simply because of less than a space-playing, like that sound that he makes this bass is so distinct to the point where the bass is undeniably the least instrument of the band.
[UNKNOWN]: Absolutely.
[UNKNOWN]: his singing voice is also really unique too.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, even he says he can't sing that well.
[UNKNOWN]: But, you know, I can never ever mistake Liz's voice for anyone else.
[UNKNOWN]: That's that unique just twang to it too.
[UNKNOWN]: So yeah, I'm not like a super duper mega fan of promise, but I like him a lot.
[UNKNOWN]: And I did see them live about 10 years ago.
[UNKNOWN]: It was a double bill with them in
[UNKNOWN]: So that was quite the experience for sure.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, boy, I bet the prog rock that we can go on on in that tour, because those guys were big.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, like less Claypool, we'll let's be on.
[UNKNOWN]: He's probably going to go down as like up there with like geyserbutler and Bootsie Collins is like one of the greatest bass players that ever pick it up, you know?
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, it's, you're absolutely right.
[UNKNOWN]: He, like it's the guitar and the drums are there to sort of the bass, but it's, but I like about less Claypool other than a lot of other,
[UNKNOWN]: virtuosos that their instruments is less claypools interested in making songs.
[UNKNOWN]: He's interested in writing songs.
[UNKNOWN]: A lot of guys when they're clearly like Uber talented at their instrument, they kind of want to show off.
[UNKNOWN]: We just kind of make the song about showing off.
[UNKNOWN]: They show off for sure.
[UNKNOWN]: They can't forget about it.
[UNKNOWN]: He's more interested in
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, they rock, but all right, Cola, what's your last pick of the episode?
[UNKNOWN]: All right, so my last pick, I'm just going to do radio DJ thing again.
[UNKNOWN]: It is this is a shout out to two people that I know for a factor listening my twin brother and his wife who I love like a sister.
[UNKNOWN]: This is Tom Petty and you don't know how it feels.
[UNKNOWN]: There's some what I used to see But she don't give a damn for me We'll let me get to the point Let's roll another joint And turn around You'll laugh I'm too long To be proud You don't know how it feels
[UNKNOWN]: So, obviously, let's roll another joint.
[UNKNOWN]: That's one of the reasons why it connects to the song, but I love this song because it's sort of what kind of...
[UNKNOWN]: Well, what could mean to Tom Petty, you know, my, and that's why I shouted out my brother in his wife is because like I didn't dislike Tom Petty.
[UNKNOWN]: I just didn't know what the big deal was, you know, like it's, you know, I knew last dance Mary Jane, you know, run down a dream, you know, a couple of the other like hits, you know, free fallen, which I did not like as a kid, but then like.
[UNKNOWN]: They kind of like forced me like forced fed me Tom Petty until like got it and this was one of those songs that really like resonated me like oh, I get it now like I get Tom Petty and I understand him and I actually love him and it sounds crazy, but I honestly think he's like kind of underrated to and I like he I think he's one of the all time great American song writers, you know Tom Petty is just the fucking best, you know, and I love this song because it's so it reminds me of just like
[UNKNOWN]: You know, being at home on a weekend, you know, like and just like relaxing man like not having a fucking thing to do in the world.
[UNKNOWN]: But just exist.
[UNKNOWN]: And yeah, I adore this song and I just wanted to finish out with it because I know we went through a lot of, you know, darkness and some heaviness and some weirdness and all that stuff, but sometimes it is just about just laying down and chilling and choosing your own life.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, and so I love this song and thank you to my brother and his wife for for nailing me down on Tom Pettit because I would have sounded like a real fucking idiot when he died.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, he's doing the big dures.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, so.
[UNKNOWN]: First of all, I love how Tom Pettius three solo albums and in all three of them, there is at least one member of the heartbreakers with them.
[UNKNOWN]: Like on this one, you got Mike Campbell, you got Ben Montenge, Howie Epstein, Steve Faroni.
[UNKNOWN]: You can't get rid of them, you know, and, and yeah, this, this is the least druggish song you picked.
[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yes, it is.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, I love it.
[UNKNOWN]: I love Tom Petty.
[UNKNOWN]: It's, he's great.
[UNKNOWN]: I love the guy, but it does essentially boil down to that one line about one of the joints, which got censored on the radio.
[UNKNOWN]: The other took out the word roll, or they replaced it with hit.
[UNKNOWN]: Let's hit another joint.
[UNKNOWN]: Like another ball.
[UNKNOWN]: Like that's any better.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: Or they played the word joint backwards.
[UNKNOWN]: There's so much of a fussing over this one line, but look, it's the 90s.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: People were still concerned about the evils of marijuana cold, I guess.
[UNKNOWN]: So, there's decades of propaganda about reformat, that decades of reformatness, you know, that we're still, we're still kind of dealing with.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, those, those, those, those, those prohibition of stuff and gone away.
[UNKNOWN]: They're very much like, they, they're, you know, they'll do anything and tuck their hair out.
[UNKNOWN]: And it's going to be a back and forth until we find something that works regulation-wise.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, I agree that this is like probably the the weakest connection to the to the to the actual theme, but it I like that it's so honest about like just existing is I'm for anything that normalizes the use of marijuana, I think that and I love that Tom Petty, I mean, like he was a you know just.
[UNKNOWN]: Especially in this period of the night, I mean, like I did not grow up when Tom Petty was like a heyday guy, you know, like I was, you know, but I bet you're asked, I watched the last dance Mary Jane music video when I was a kid, you know, and so I knew who Tom Petty was.
[UNKNOWN]: But this song is just so like, it's kind of, I love the, the, the breakdown of the, DUN, DUN, DUN.
[UNKNOWN]: I love this song so much.
[UNKNOWN]: I kind of want to hear a stone or metal cover of it, you know, I don't know who can do it.
[UNKNOWN]: I'll think on that and get back to you.
[UNKNOWN]: Well, I'm impressed you didn't go with the B-side for this song, which is Girl on LSD.
[UNKNOWN]: Yes, I know, yeah, I'm like, I don't know.
[UNKNOWN]: That is, drug references up the Wazoo.
[UNKNOWN]: We need cocaine, crystal meth, ecstasy glue, all the stars, all the stars are here.
[UNKNOWN]: It's your heart out, Josh.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, duh.
[UNKNOWN]: Alright, my last pick, I brought up the metal god earlier, Rob Halford, and I have brought a back with his full band and toe Judas Priest off of their second album, 1976's Sad Wings of Destiny, and the song is Victim of Changes.
[UNKNOWN]: So that one is from the early days of priest years before they got really big, but I would put this song up against any of their big heads.
[UNKNOWN]: It's a fantastic song, prog metal and it's makeup, all the different sections, the
[UNKNOWN]: And the riffs on this damn thing, bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana bana
[UNKNOWN]: takes another drinker to things look better when she's through.
[UNKNOWN]: She cheats on him, he throws her out, and at the end he's lamenting.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, once she was wonderful, once she was fine, once she was beautiful, once she was mined.
[UNKNOWN]: And Rob Halford is just slinking his way through the sorrow.
[UNKNOWN]: It's quite heart-wrenching,
[UNKNOWN]: This is the same band that would go on to do turbo lover.
[UNKNOWN]: and hot rockin' and pain killer, it's such a big jump, but quality wise, I mean, like I said, this is up there with the best they ever did, cooler.
[UNKNOWN]: I love this fucking song.
[UNKNOWN]: I mean, like the Sabbath riff, you know, like that sounds right out of it, only this fucking playbook, that riff.
[UNKNOWN]: But the part that you talked about that, so you know me, I love my slow down metal, and when they kind of take it, it kind of gets like almost like a Western feel that does that same riff, but kind of this,
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, like a real kind of burnable moody stuff.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, man.
[UNKNOWN]: That's so good.
[UNKNOWN]: And I'll be honest with you.
[UNKNOWN]: I don't know if this is probably going to lose my metal card.
[UNKNOWN]: I'll let the fellows in the in the channel decide my fate, but I'm not not overly familiar with Judas Priest.
[UNKNOWN]: I know like, I know like, you know, I know screaming for vengeance.
[UNKNOWN]: You know, I know that album.
[UNKNOWN]: And I know like a lot of the radio hits I liked you just but I got nothing against them But I never really took like the deepest of that especially in their early stuff and I think I would probably like their earlier stuff more because it's just much more In my alley of what I like in heavy music and this is out this song is like perfect for it I love this song so much Because it kicks ass at rocks you almost you can kind of hear where faith no more or not faith no more
[UNKNOWN]: The Mountain, the guys who did Mountain, James Addiction, the song Mountain, you kind of hear where they kind of totally ripped that part off and he does like that scream at the end and then they busts into the riff.
[UNKNOWN]: I know they didn't invent that, but I'm wondering if they were listening to this album when they were writing that song, James Addiction, I don't know why that stuck out to me, but no, this song kicks back in ass and I'm so happy to hear it.
[UNKNOWN]: I need to mention as well what I think is the highlight of the song which is the very end with Rob Halfer delivering maybe the best rock screen ever and I clipped it out just to play it right here on its own.
[UNKNOWN]: Now that's how you end a goddamn song.
[UNKNOWN]: If you're not holding up invisible oranges to that last note, I don't know what the fuck's wrong with you, pal.
[UNKNOWN]: Like it's, he kind of runs the whole gamut of like metal vocals.
[UNKNOWN]: And like from his early like screaming, would he kind of gutterle and then that's the Rob Halford fucking like woof, nobody hits that level like him, man.
[UNKNOWN]: And every of many have tried, but there's nobody like him, man.
[UNKNOWN]: Metal God indeed.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah, yeah, gutterle is the word that I abuse as well.
[UNKNOWN]: The gutter will pain the urrrrrr and the no no I couldn't even dream of pulling that off and the fact that priest still play this song live to this day is insane to me But Rob Helford is the middle god for a reason so praise be praise be
[UNKNOWN]: Alright, well, uh, there we go.
[UNKNOWN]: Those were our picks.
[UNKNOWN]: That was the episode.
[UNKNOWN]: Uh, Colo, we have made it through this drug and alcohol binge.
[UNKNOWN]: Uh, we have battled our personal demons and come through the other side.
