Season 20

Season 20, Episode 49 of The Adventures of Pipeman.

It’s the Pipeman in the Pit weekly segment of The Adventures of Pipeman.

Chapter 1: Carmine Appice and his reformed Cactus on behalf of the new blues rock album, Temple Of Blues II, that’s due out April 3 via Cleopatra Records.

Now the Temple opens again, this time for an all-star aggregation that recalls Ted Nugent, Billy Sheehan, Bumblefoot, Dee Snider and Pat Travers from volume one, alongside an all-new wave of heavy hitters including Steve Morse (Deep Purple), Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns), Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Deep Purple), Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot), Alex Skolnick (Testament), and a whole lot more!

And Temple Of Blues II takes us back to their birth. That summer, Cactus were among the main attractions at the Isle of Wight Festival in England, and the new album’s “Purple Haze” reunites them with both another of that bill’s audience favorites, Melanie, and its overall headliner, Jimi Hendrix.

Elsewhere on this thunderous sequel, Pat Travers returns for the mighty “Moanin’ At Midnight,” Joe Lynn Turner joins Morse, Carmine’s Guitar Zeus bandmate Tony Franklin and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater) for “Bad Stuff,” Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) and Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns) lead the way for “The Little Red Rooster,” and Ted Nugent and Bob Daisley (Rainbow) join forces for an astonishing “Spoonful.”

Track List:
1. Back Door Man Pt. 1 & 2 feat. Eric Gales & Billy Sheehan
2. 300 Pounds Of Joy feat. Ty Tabor
3. Moanin’ At Midnight feat. Pat Travers
4. Down In The Bottom feat. Dug Pinnick

Chapter 2: American heavy metal icons, ARMORED SAINT, are back with their anticipated new full-length, Emotion Factory Reset, set for release on May 22nd through Metal Blade Records.

Produced, as were the previous four albums, by bassist Joey Vera and mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour) the record finds the quintet challenging themselves. Songs like “Close To The Bone,” “Hit A Moonshot,” and “Every Man-Any Man”

The collaborative nature of Emotion Factory Reset led to the album title, a phrase from Phil Sandoval. “To me, ‘Emotion Factory Reset’ means to reset yourself back to clarity. Take a pause and breathe before you respond or react. You can't control outside events, but you can control your mind,” the guitarist says. “How you interpret things is what hurts you, not the event itself.”

ARMORED SAINT Presents “Hit A Moonshot” Video / Single From Emotion Factory Reset Full-Length

In advance of the record’s release, the band presents the first single and album opener, “Close To The Bone.” Comments Bush, “The first track on the record sounds like vintage ARMORED SAINT. Yet vintage that comes out in 2026! How did we do that? The title of the record, Emotion Factory Reset appears as the first line of the bridge. Killer riffs, awesome rhythms and attacking vocals gets this train rolling. The title implies the human response to withdraw and keep things to yourself instead of being confrontational; Something I believe we all struggle with as humans. Do you just say, ‘aww, whatever man,’ or do you say, ‘hey, fuck you!’ Depends on the moment I guess.”

four c Y Radio. And I'm here with a legendary

6
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.640
drummer from some amazing bands, and we got some great

7
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:45.960
news that we're going to talk about. So let's welcome

8
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.280
to the show. Carmina Piece.

9
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:48.719
Hello.

10
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.679
I'm very excited because last time we talked, we were

11
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.960
talking about, you know, the return of Cactus and Temple

12
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.600
of Blues one, and now we have Temple Blue too,

13
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:02.159
so that's pretty cool.

14
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.200
It is cool. It took a long time to do it,

15
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:10.079
like six about I took about eight eight months to

16
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.319
put it together. I mean it was ready in December,

17
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.760
but we waited until April Theiry because we were putting

18
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.719
together as live Cactus show, you know, for charities, And

19
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.760
that was April Theiry. We did the shows that I

20
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:30.000
released it April third, which is less than a month ago,

21
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.640
you know, a month ago. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody seems to

22
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:34.079
love it.

23
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.680
Oh, I was listening to it. I think it's it's incredible.

24
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.359
I love that version. I loved the version of every song,

25
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.840
but I really loved a lot Purple Haze. That was

26
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:44.439
pretty cool.

27
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.439
That's pretty wild, right, I like that there one. You know,

28
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.079
I got to understand Number one, nobody on this record

29
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.560
or the last record, was ever in the same room together.

30
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:56.920
Wow.

31
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.879
This was all done individually and everybody's studios starting with

32
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.439
the drums, including Purple Haze. So Purple Hayes happened by

33
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.639
Cleopatra Records owned the rights to her vocals after she passed,

34
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.840
so they called me and said, look, we'd like to

35
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:18.719
do Melanie and Cactus together. This was before we were

36
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.439
doing this album. And I said really. Melanie says yeah.

37
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.960
We got a version of Melanie's singing Purple Hayes, which

38
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.439
is awesome. So I said, well, let me hear it.

39
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.479
So they sent it to me, just the vocal, right,

40
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.280
and I said, wow, that's Melanie. It's killer. I mean

41
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.039
some of the screams she has like Jannie Chaplin, you know.

42
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.240
And I said, yeah, we can do this. So the

43
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.000
way we would do it is we got the tempo

44
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.199
like whatever it was, and then we take her voice

45
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.840
and we stretch it along the tempo to make sure

46
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.000
it's in tempo. On a click. That's the only way

47
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.919
you could do these things studio to studio in people's houses.

48
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.840
So once we did that, then I did drums to

49
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.400
it right, and where the solos were going to be,

50
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.840
we had to cut the cut the vocal, leave room

51
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.240
for the solos and continue the vocal. So we had

52
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.479
to edit and according to the drum arrangement that I

53
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.599
put together, okay, And then we got my guitar player

54
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.280
to play the guitar on it, and he put some

55
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.879
bass on it too to make it a full demo.

56
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.319
So now we got her voice, drums, bass, and guitar right.

57
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.520
And then our normal bass player, James Computer, was out

58
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.000
of town. He couldn't do it. So we got Tony

59
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.039
Franklin to play on it. Because Tony played with Cactus

60
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.199
a bunch of times playing Venezuela, played in Europe, played

61
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.800
in America, you know, so he's like a secondary Cactus

62
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.639
bass player. And then he played on it, and then

63
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.080
we gave it to my engineer, Pat Reagan, co producer

64
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.599
of this album, and he mixed it and it came

65
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.159
out fantastic, you know. And when I talk about this,

66
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.560
I said, man, this track is a long way from

67
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.919
the roller Skates song. Right when she streams a couple

68
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.719
of times. It's awesome. I said, Wow, you know, we knew,

69
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.960
we knew, Uh, Johanna Chaplain in the old days, you know,

70
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.079
and you know what she kind of sounds like. And

71
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:22.120
when she did those screams, those couple of screams, I said, man,

72
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.519
this sounds like Janice Chaplin. Doesn't sound like Melanie, you know.

73
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:31.560
So it came out fantastic. And Ardie Gillen is our

74
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.240
guitar player and uh a cactus and he's been with

75
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.920
us a few years now and he's a monster. He's

76
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.839
just a monster player. And he did the solos on that,

77
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.879
and then we after the soul, we cut and we

78
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.839
went to this. Uh just a voice and all kinds

79
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.879
of effects, you know, you know I'm talking about, yeah totally,

80
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.199
and then it comes back in then it ends with her.

81
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:01.680
I go a psychedelic you know, love it. Jimmy would

82
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:02.120
have loved it.

83
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.120
And I want to know too, what was it like

84
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.920
to be around people like Janice Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix like

85
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:11.879
that that.

86
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.240
You know, back in those days, it wasn't a business yet,

87
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:18.160
you know, yeah, it really wasn't. Led Zeppelin Vanilla Fash

88
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.279
left Zeppelin four fifty cents. Come on, that's ridiculous. But

89
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.720
it was, you know, like it was just hang out.

90
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.160
There's just people, musicians hanging out, talking about stuff and

91
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.839
hanging out playing blues. And you know Hendry, I knew

92
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.319
Hendrix before he was Jimmy Hendrix. It was Jimmy James

93
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.600
and played clubs together in New York Nice. We would

94
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.839
play sets like thirty minutes eation midnight. They would play

95
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.160
records and we'd have an hour and we go up

96
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.120
to in the city who played the West Side in

97
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.480
those days if you have a sort of movie panic

98
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.959
and Needle Park, you know, and that area which is

99
00:05:54.959 --> 00:06:00.680
now very exclusive, high end. My wife had an apartment.

100
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.439
It we just sold. It was a fortune to sell it,

101
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.160
you know. And in those days was it was junk.

102
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:11.959
It was people junk on you know, junk junkies. It

103
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.199
was hookers, it was it was pimps, all that stuff.

104
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.480
And we went over in the middle of the show,

105
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.519
we had an hour off. We went up to some

106
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.560
Black Prosecutes apartment, smoking some pot. Jimmy would say, oh, man,

107
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:26.680
I gotta make it. I want to make it out

108
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.680
of here. I want to make it for me. I

109
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.399
didn't care if I made it. I was making I

110
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.279
want to make a living like my drum teacher out

111
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.079
and I said, you know, a little house in Brooklyn.

112
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.079
We had a drum room, we had a Cadillac. I said,

113
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:42.879
that's living, you know, right, And we played it get

114
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:44.800
together a lot, you know. I think that gig we

115
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.160
played was either two weeks or a month long. So

116
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.800
I got to know him, and then we started making

117
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.480
this vanilla fudge. I started seeing this guy in the

118
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.800
press playing with his teeth and I said it was

119
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:01.040
hair like that. I said, speak Tommas Games and called

120
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.879
Jimmy Hendricks. And next time I saw him was in

121
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:07.959
London and we we reminded him of that day of

122
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.480
smoking pot talking about and he said, oh yeah, I

123
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.079
remember that, because what are you doing here? I said,

124
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:14.920
I play with him all the funds and I love

125
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.800
the fudge. So it was like immediate, you know. We

126
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:21.800
got backed together and we did a lot of gigs

127
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.720
with him, and it was very timid, kind of so spoken,

128
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:31.160
kind of like Prince right, you know, very introverted, you know,

129
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.079
until he gets on stage, you know, but.

130
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.279
He was That's a lot of people, right, a lot

131
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.879
of musicians, you know, people like them. Yeah, they think

132
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.439
they're the most extroverted people out there, but they're only

133
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:45.639
like that on stage.

134
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.120
Yes, I could talk to Jeff Back's same thing. Introverted.

135
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:56.439
You know. Tom Sacks was not so introverted, but he

136
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.040
was in between. You know, he was like normal guy,

137
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:04.120
you know it. Jim McCarty was a normal guy. You know,

138
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.800
guitar players, but you know it was it was great,

139
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.439
you know. And the one one jam with Channis Chapman.

140
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.879
We had Miami Pop Vessel Vanelophage headlined it and we

141
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:19.439
were jamming with Johnny Winner. We're playing the blues with

142
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:24.839
Johnny Winter and her singing, and after she's singing, Johnny's

143
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.759
playing guitar and the solo. She come up to me

144
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.959
and said, hey, drummer boys, have some of his She

145
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:34.919
stuck his bottle of my face, kicked it up and went, whoa,

146
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:40.240
you know, the Southern comfort. You know, I almost fell

147
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.279
off the drum stool. You know, she was drinking it

148
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.799
like he's. You know, we did a lot of gigs

149
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.440
with her big brother and Vanelo Fudge. You know, there

150
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.600
were no it wasn't a business yet, you know, just

151
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.159
having everybody having a good time.

152
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.440
Yeah, I imagine there was probably a lot more camaraderie

153
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.279
back then and now maybe because you didn't have the

154
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.480
interfere rants to get people like not a community.

155
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:08.080
Well, there is a lot, but we I try and

156
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.360
with these albums we try and create that. Yeah, and

157
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.320
we did the gig. I just did an interview with

158
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.279
the guy that was at the gig and he noticed.

159
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.080
He said, it was such great camaraderie with all of everybody.

160
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:20.279
You know.

161
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:26.159
We had Billy she and Tony Franklin, Eric Gales, Pat Travis, Bumblefoot,

162

00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.639
on stage. Nice and it was really fun. Everybody had

164
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.320
a great time. Everybody. When we left it, let us

165
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:38.480
know if you want to do it again.

166
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:40.240
You know, I love that.

167
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:44.320
I love fantastic. And we filmed it and we recorded it,

168
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.559
so maybe we'll end up releasing it and giving it

169
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.360
to a chat. We did this charity here. We gave

170
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.200
thousands of dollars to all these different charities, you know,

171
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.279

174
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.679

00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.919
just give it to them, you know. It's it's a

176
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:14.039
great feeling to help people like that, absolutely, and and

177
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.759
everybody felt that. I mean, we sat around. We did

178
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.639
it at this uh uh Arcadia Theater in Saint Charles.

179
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.600
Everybody's played there and the owner, Ron was a friend

180
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.120

193
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.399

194
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.240
the whole table was talking like that and it was

195
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:21.679
just great. There was no attitudes, no problems. Was fantastic.

196
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:23.039
That's the way it should be.

197
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:25.080
Yeah, he said, hey, Ic, we don't need you. You

198
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.440
go hold on for a minute. Okay, he goes sit

199
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.720
and sit down. You know, it wasn't a why what

200
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:31.360
do you mean? You know what I'm saying?

201
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:31.960
No attitude?

202
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:33.759
Huh beautiful, they're beautiful.

203
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:36.960
And when you first started, we had.

204
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.480
Three bass players and I said, Bill, you play Tony know,

205
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.639
you laid back on this, and James you laid back,

206
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.320
you know. Then Tony you played Bill, you laid back.

207
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.000
You know, no attitudes. It's great.

208
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.039
That's the way it should be. And when you first

209
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.039
started Cactus, could you ever imagine that you would be

210
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:54.320
putting out out a new album in twenty twenty six.

211
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.679
I didn't even imagine I'd be around with you twenty six.

212
00:11:59.080 --> 00:11:59.159
Right.

213
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.639
I'm living my eighties year right now.

214
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.320
It's amazing. Right. I never thought either. You know, I'm

215
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.559
from the eighties, so I thought we were gonna just

216
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.240
all blow up. And I wasn't even gonna make it

217
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:10.919
past twelve.

218
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.080
In the sixties were worse than the eighties. I mean

219
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:19.240
it was everybody was doing drugs, LSD and uppers and

220
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:20.080
downers and.

221
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.720
Well Was it true that Jimmy used to have LSD

222
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:30.519
and it's uh headband when he performed on stage. Jimmy Hendrix, Yeah.

223
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:31.799
I never know that. I never heard about.

224
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.639
That was That's something I've read before. I'm like.

225
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:44.159
Said, somebody created by these these writers exactly like somebody

226
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:50.200
just said, uh so that's something that said. Jimmy Pate said.

227
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.840
It wasn't led Zeppelin with the mud Shock. It was

228
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:58.399
led Zeppelin's uh tour manager and carminer piece. It wasn't me,

229
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:04.200
you know, it was led Zeppelin, John Bonham, It was

230
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.879
our roady, one of our roadies, John Bonham, Richie Cole,

231
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.639
one of our roadies. And that's it. You know.

232
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:14.720
Well, you know now it was my room.

233
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:16.399
It was my room. I had to leave. It was

234
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.399
so disgusting, you know. But anyway, that's what I'm seeing.

235
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:22.799
These writers write things and they didn't even know what

236
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:23.559
they're talking about.

237
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:27.799
Well, nowadays nobody even checks either, Like right, you could

238
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.559
post anything you want on social media and people take

239
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.879
the ball and run without even chess.

240
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:37.840
Social media is such bullshit. All my people say posting

241
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:40.000
up social media, you got a new album, post I

242
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.240
got wine. Nobody gives a fucking social media. And my

243
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:47.480
proof is I do things specifically, like I put my grandson.

244
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.960
I just had a new grandson, you know that, comments,

245
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:57.440
thousand comments. Okay, then I'll put on, uh, cactus playing here,

246
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:00.879
blah blah blah, two comments, and then I'll put on

247
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:04.000
and I'll put on I'm thinking of changing my image

248
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:08.559
my photo. You know what do you think? Eight nine

249
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:14.159
hundred uh huh, fifty eight thousand people viewed it. And

250
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.000
then I'll put on Yeah, we're playing so and so

251
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.720
so or it album's out to comments. I said, that's

252
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:21.399
all that's it's all about, is bullshit.

253
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.159
You know, yeah, you're not. You're not wrong about.

254
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:27.120
What you're doing in your career. They want to see

255
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:28.480
what kind of bullshit you put up.

256
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.799
You're not wrong all the time too.

257
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.279
I'm dying. I stop dying my hair from black and

258
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.000
purple to what it looks like. Now, what do you think?

259
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.399
Tons of comments? Whenever you say, what do you think?

260
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:42.519
Yeah?

261
00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:44.639
Your thought? Tons of comments.

262
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.279
Well that's like that's like with me. I had up

263
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:51.240
until last year for a while, my trademark was my

264
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:56.039
hair was blue, and everybody would show up on social

265
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.120
media every time I was getting my hair done to

266
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.559
see what color it would be next. That was the

267
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:02.360
most important thing they were looking for.

268
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.720
Let me see, there's not much hair there though.

269
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:07.519
Now it's blonde.

270
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:10.519
Oh, oh, it is blond. Oh that's why he's blond.

271
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.759
Yeah, I'm getting a weird Yeah, that's because of they

272
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.639
That's because I have that cool background behind me, exactly.

273
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:23.320
But it's like it's going weird colors blond and blues

274
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.320
on top of your head. Yeah, really weird. I can't

275
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:29.159
tell where your hair your head is almost right.

276
00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.720
And see it's funny. At one point my hair was

277
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:36.519
the color of the vinyl on your album there right.

278
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:39.759
See. I had black and purple hair for years, you know,

279
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.080
black and purple, black man. And finally, you know, like

280
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.759
four years ago, my wife said, don't you get sick

281
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:49.440
and tired of of dyeing it because it's work. Then

282
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.440
you had to then you had to dye it blonde.

283
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:53.399
Then you had to put the color and it takes

284
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.399
six seven hours every time. I said, you know what

285
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.679
I am tired of, So why don't you just let

286
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.480
it go? So my hairdresser let it go. From the

287
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.440
top down, you had she had purple in there, purple

288
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.039
purple got bigger and bigger, but this purple easily washes out,

289
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:10.240
so by the time it cover my whole head, we

290
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:13.720
just washed it out. Yeah, And I was silver and

291
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:17.120
then and my wife said, well my hairstyle and I had,

292
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:22.200
so you look like maud. I said great, thank you.

293
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.879
So she said, comb it back. So I come to

294
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:26.720
back and I said, I don't like the fact that

295
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.960
it's all silver. So we started putting black streaks in it.

296
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:32.879
So now I got the silver black streets. I'm going

297
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:35.360
SAT day to put some black streaks back because you

298
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:38.759
can see from here back it's grown that long that much,

299
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:39.039
you know.

300
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:41.759
Yeah, well, I.

301
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:43.519
Love my hair. Now people love my hair. I say, ow,

302
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.840
your hair is wonderful, it's beautiful. I love the style.

303
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.600
You look great. Oh you look younger. I said, wow, great,

304
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:52.519
So I don't mind. It's easy to take care of me.

305
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:53.600
I was just coming back.

306
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:58.360
It's a lot of work the other way, right, like

307
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.120
the I used to go on tour and I have

308
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:05.960
to bring my own pillowcase and my own my own

309
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:11.880
towel because I want to ruin any based crap towels right, totally, totally.

310
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.559
And then like it's funny you said about the purple,

311
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.160
because last year I was doing I'm going to Welcome

312
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:20.920
the Rockville in a few days to cover that festival,

313
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:24.359
and last year at that festival, I met this hairstyles

314
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.640
she does like all the rock bands at the festival.

315
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.720
So I had her do my hair while we were

316
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.400
while I was doing an interview of the band she

317
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:36.240
was there with and.

318
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:38.920
Hair.

319
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:42.640
Well, no, my hair is naturally like well it's naturally

320
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:46.359
all really gray, but it's naturally it used to be

321
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:50.839
naturally dark. So yes, I have to go like this

322
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.359
color is more my color, you know. So I have

323
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.240
to go and I have to get it bleached and

324
00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.519
then put the blue and blue on and get into

325
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.039
it the whole process just like you describe. So she

326
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.039
did it, and I said, do whatever you want to

327
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:07.160
even care. I wasn't even paying attention. I was doing

328
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:12.359
the interview and she did black, blue, pink and purple.

329
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:18.200
Oh my god. Yeah. I mean the other day I

330
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:20.880
saw a young girl we were talking about for my

331
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:24.720
rod show. You know, we're still figuring out the merch

332
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.160
because there's a lot more women. The only the only

333
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.839
shirts we have for men, there's the sex police shirts

334
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:32.519
and hats that Rogers. We used to run around with

335
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:34.519
that and somebody had a women would go up to

336
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.119
the hallways sex police for the seconding, you know, and

337
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:39.880
like you know when you heard that coming, if you

338
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.319
had a woman, you tell be quiet and you don't

339
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:44.519
want them to bust your room up, you know. But

340
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:48.039
I'm trying to figure out what what colors you know,

341
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:49.880
for women, So I said, yeah, maybe we should get

342
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:55.240
a pink uh, pink hoodie with the Rod logo on there.

343
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.000
That might look cool. So my merch girl says, yeah,

344
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:01.920
may talking to the service station. There's a young girl

345
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.200
wearing a pink hoodie streaks of pink and ha hair

346
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:10.720
and blonde and blue and it looks so cool. I

347
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:13.000
told her, I said, man, you look cool. She goes

348
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:14.839
your Hey, it look cool, because thank you so much,

349
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.960
you know. And but the pink hoodie looked great. So

350
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:20.920
now we just we're testing at the Chicago show. We're

351
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.759
doing now next week we go to three hoodies and

352
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:27.720
medium lodge and extra lodge and pink with the zipper,

353
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:31.720
you know, with the Rod the show logo here, which

354
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.319
is like a set of lips with a guy that

355
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:36.680
looks like Roger with the mike Holden like Rod would be.

356
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:39.880
You know, if you go to roddshow dot com shere

357
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:44.000
I'm talking about you know. Anyway, So it's pretty cool.

358
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.519
That and that is cool. And so with this new

359
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:50.920
album too, Temple Blues too, you brought back people that

360
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.160
were in the first Temple Blues, but then you have

361
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:57.319
some new additions too. I think it's cool a variety

362
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:01.079
of people you have, because you have somebody like bumble Foot,

363
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:04.279
somebody like Nugent, but then you have somebody like Alex

364
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:10.079
Rollneck and.

365
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:10.519
Ye he was a surprise. Rudy was on the last one,

366
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.359
but Alex was a surprised one because I had his

367
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:16.039
number and I called him and I said, hey, dude,

368
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.400
we're going to do this Cactus album. We did want

369
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.039
to explain what it is. You know. I like you

370
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:23.519
to be honest because yeah, man, no problem. You know,

371
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.079
and you know when you're do an aw like this,

372
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.279
everybody has to get the same amount of money. Yeah,

373
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.039
you can't have one guy get eight and one guy

374
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:35.160
get three hundred the other guy get two hundred. So

375
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:38.960
everybody got the same money across the board, you know.

376
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:41.839
And I say, you know, favorite nations. Of course we

377
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:44.640
got to get releases from everybody, and after we do it,

378
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.359
you got to sign and release, no problem. So Alex was, yeah,

379
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:50.319
let's go. And then when I heard what he did,

380
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:53.720
I said, oh my gosh, this guy's a freaking monster.

381
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.039
I mean I heard him with testing it, but you

382
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.240
hear him playing your music, you get to see how

383
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.319
great he is, you know, because he's not in his elements.

384
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:04.640
Yeah, he's out.

385
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:07.799
And that's what's what a great musician is. When you

386
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.640
can play out of your element and still be great.

387
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:13.160
That's that's a sign of a great musician.

388
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:16.839
I think so too, because you know, it's easy when

389
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.279
you're doing your own element because you're used to it.

390
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.200
It's a habit. You don't even think about it. When

391
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.119
you got to go do something different, you really got

392
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:25.759
to dig deep.

393
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.079
Yeah, that's why you know. I do these sessions for Cleopatra.

394
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.160
You know, I did the Hush by Deep Purple. They're

395
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.960
doing a tribute to Hunt Purple. I did Hush, I

396
00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:39.039
did some other things. Now this week is did just

397
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:42.039
send it? Today I'm going to do a track Crazy

398
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:48.440
Train with er William Shatner. Wow, Captain Kirk is doing

399
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.519
talking over it. Yeah, so oh cool.

400
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:53.680
I can't wait for that.

401
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:56.680
I like doing different things. You know, I'm looking at

402
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.079
my career. If an elifuser Cactus, the b B A

403
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:03.359
to Ted News' is a Rod Stewart to Ozzie. You know.

404
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:06.960
It's all different music, but I keep playing the same way.

405
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.559
But I address myself to the music.

406
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:15.039
That's what makes you a great musician. Yeah, and you

407
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:17.839
know it's funny. I'm going to tell you something funny.

408
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:19.920
I don't know if you know this or not. You know,

409
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:24.400
because our studio was in Wellington, Florida for like eighteen years,

410
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:27.880
and right across the street from our studio there was

411
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:31.319
a place called the Gypsies Horse. It's now some it's

412
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:36.440
some Indian place now, but there used to be this

413
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:41.519
tribute show there all the time, hot Rod and It.

414
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:46.640
And it would be so funny because the women from

415
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:49.759
Wellington would all show up there be packed, and he

416
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.680
would act like he really was Rod Stewart, like they

417
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.240
were fun and all over him.

418
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:59.640
Well, we're playing the Book of Black Box my rot

419
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.680
show June fourteenth. We're doing two shows there and one

420
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:09.279
day that show kills. That show kill, Like I said,

421
00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:11.799
look at the website, you know, I mean Rod when

422
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:13.960
I told Rod what we're doing. I said, you know,

423
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.799
everybody was calling it a tribute, and it's not a

424
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.920
tribute with me and Catcher who played Dropped fourteen years.

425
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:23.240
If you see a beautiful blonde chick on the sacks

426
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:27.079
with Robbed, that was her, you know. And between her

427
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:28.960
and me, we had twenty one years that we played

428
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:32.640
with Rod, right, and differences when I was with him

429
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:38.319
was Rod Stewart group. We wrote songs, I produced stuff

430
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:41.680
with the background vocal at percentages of the road. It

431
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.880
was not Rod in the group, right, we were part

432
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.680
of it. So I tell stories in the show. We

433
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:51.640
have a background video. It starts with Rob what he is,

434
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:54.240
How we started, how I ended up in his band,

435
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:56.599
and then she was in his band, and then you

436
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:59.839
got Rob Caddle plays Rod starring Rob Caddle. As you

437
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:03.880
to it, you know, it's like a show, you know,

438
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:09.960
and and it's all women. We played in the villages,

439
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:13.480
you know the villages. Oh yeah, totally like a twelve

440
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:16.680
hundred people when we do the show, and.

441
00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.680
Oh they're probably freaking out at the villages. They probably

442
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:20.119
love love it.

443
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:22.240
They love it, they love it, and we're going to

444
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.279
video that show. I think on June fourteenth, and then

445
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.480
we drive down here and we come at played the

446
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.640
black Box two shows there. It's three hundred. We do

447
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.920
like average over five hundred people everywhere we go. So

448
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:40.880
we figured we can play two shows at the black Box.

449
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:44.319
It's just a nice via house, really nice screen behind it.

450
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.079
We'd be able to probably do two shows and either

451
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:51.200
sell out or come close to selling boat out. That's

452
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:53.000
why we decided to do it. I wanted to play

453
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.160
the Parker Playhouse but never happened yet. But I think

454
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:59.200
if we do this and we do well down here,

455
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:01.920
then we can the next time to the Parker Playhouse

456
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:05.240
or something like that. My friend Vito, you know, Liberty

457
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:09.480
de Vito, plays there with his Billy Joel show. Okay,

458
00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:14.559
the show's okay, but my show is a show. You know,

459
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:17.519
they just play the songs. My show's the show. We

460
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.799
tell stories. When we do hot legs, fire comes up

461
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:23.640
from my drums. You know. We got at the end,

462
00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:25.920
we got everyone's singing. Do you think I'm sexy? And

463
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.480
that singing, Maggie May, I mean I guy Rob Cardle

464
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:32.920
gets everybody singing, just like Rod Stewart does.

465
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:34.200
I love it.

466
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:36.400
That's why I'm playing with him. I feel like I'm

467
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.960
back with Rod. So when I said Rob, the fact

468
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:42.400
that we're not calling it a tribute or anything, We're

469
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:46.559
calling it Rob the show, a celebration of Rob, a

470
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.920
celebration of music and legacy of rodste it. So I

471
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:52.519
sent that to him and he sent back an email.

472
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.200
I said, I'm honored. Wow, I'm honored that you're on it,

473
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:56.680
you know.

474
00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:57.279
Nice.

475
00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:59.960
And then and then the promotion in the background video

476
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.880
as it comes up, it says that Rod was honored

477
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.279
that we are doing the show, you know, so kind

478
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.720
of endorsed by Rod. So it's way beyond like a singer.

479
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:16.440
You knows, every outfit Rod ever had sent. We send

480
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:18.200
a picture to our said van, but do you think

481
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:20.000
he looks like you? He goes, man, he looks like me,

482
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:23.559
He dresses like me, and he's got real hair. It's

483
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:27.880
not a week, right, And then Catre said, and he

484
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:31.680
sings like you, And he does. He sings like Rod.

485
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:35.799
Some people. We we've video, it's on the website, you know,

486
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:40.400
said I saw Rod, and I saw this show and

487
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:41.319
this show is better.

488
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.960
Wow, everybody's got to go. Then, and you also have

489
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:49.799
a show coming up here in May.

490
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:53.599
Yeah, May sixteenth, we got Vanilla Fudge coming in Boca

491
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:59.039
black Box, and you know, and we just finished ten Days,

492
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:02.599
so this is like good Night's. Two weeks later, we're

493
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:05.559
playing the book at black Box. We're tight. And then

494
00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:08.440
I got a few couple of weeks off. I'm going

495
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:10.240
to the Saint Martin with my wife, and so we

496
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:14.039
have a house down there, she rents. So we got

497
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:16.759
to go down there three four days, three four times

498
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:20.680
a year. Yeah, And people go, oh, that's great vacation. Yeah,

499
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:22.759
it's not vacation. We go down there and fix stuff.

500
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.240
And instead of here, I look out. I usually face

501
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:28.319
the other way with my computer, but I'm doing it

502
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:31.200
this way, so I have a background instead of a television,

503
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:36.519
you know. Yeah. And basically I sit there and look

504
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:38.920
out at a canal in a lake down there. I

505
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:40.759
do the same stuff looking out at an ocean.

506
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:43.240
You know. That's exactly. I mean, go out to.

507
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:45.640
Eat and enjoy myself. And then once I come back

508
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:47.640
from that, and then we come back on the seventh

509
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:51.200
and we got the thirteenth. I go up to all

510
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:54.559
whereas the villages, and then the fourteen would come down

511
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:56.839
play here, and I was going to do a clinic

512
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.680
at Jeloopes, you know Jeloupes Is. I was going to

513
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.079
do that, but they want to do it outside this

514
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.559
and I don't want to do that, so we'll do

515
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:08.960
it next time. And then I got some time off.

516
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.519
I think we're going to do some cactus in July

517
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:16.039
and beginning August, and then then we start up again

518
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.720
with the Rock Show in August and different things. I

519
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:24.279
got my I have a bucket list thing I'm doing.

520
00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:30.680
It's me playing with the Colorado Springs Symphony orchest Philharmonic Orchestra,

521
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:34.839
playing four rock songs and telling some stories. I love

522
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.920
it about that. That's like it. It be so cool.

523
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:39.559
We played with.

524
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:43.720
We did with my Rod Show. We did an orchestra

525
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:48.400
in California, gig and my friend's son who's a musical

526
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:51.440
genius is and n Myyu doing all composing and all

527
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:54.559
that now and it was at sixteen. He wrote all

528
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:57.960
the charts for a fifty piece orchestra, all the rock

529
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:02.400
Stewart songs that we did in the Palm Desert Symphony

530
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:06.480
Orchestra with the Rod Show. It was fantastic. But this

531
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:09.480
one was just me. That's my bucket list, just me,

532
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:11.799
no band.

533
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:14.119
Let's make that happened.

534
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:20.119
They got my friend that was the guy that funded

535
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:25.880
the foundation that funded the Captive Show. He gave money

536
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:29.200
to the Symphony Orchestra. And I've been talking to them

537
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:30.799
about the Rock Show and they said, look, we're doing

538
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:34.480
We're doing a show called The Knights Show, the Knights

539
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:39.599
Meeting Paul McCartney, Nighty Pulton, John Knighted, Rod Stewart Nighted,

540
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:43.640
and I think somebody else. And they got four singers

541
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:46.799
from Broadway. I'm going to be singing it, so it's

542
00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:51.440
going to be like a stiff up a. Look. I

543
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:53.039
can't play in the suit, you know.

544
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:56.440
But I can't imagine playing drums and suit.

545
00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:58.359
But I used to do in the old day. If

546
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:00.400
you look at the Sullivan show, I'm playing with a

547
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:02.559
red velvet jacket, you know.

548
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:05.799
Yeah, I can't even imagine that. It's tough enough with

549
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:07.000
any clothes on.

550
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:12.200
It is tough. But yeah, so a lot of good

551
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:12.920
things going on.

552
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:16.440
I love it. And everybody's got to check out Temple

553
00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:20.319
of Blues two. It's killer. I listened to the whole

554
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:23.240
album and it is killer. I love it. I can't.

555
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:26.720
I can't believe all these years later, you're still putting

556
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:29.839
out some great music and doing great shows. So I

557
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:34.000
thank you for giving me a lifetime of great music.

558
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:37.440
And everybody else too, thank you.

559
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:37.720
What.

560
00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:41.599
I refuse to do crappy music. If I'm going to

561
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:43.599
do a record, it's going to be good. Any record

562
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:46.279
I do, whether it sells or not, it's gonna be great.

563
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:48.519
It's stuff you're probably even even heard of because they

564
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:50.960
label have a DNA said, I think call up Piece

565
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:56.240
Prodomo project. It's all instrumental with this guy, Fernando Pidomo,

566
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:01.200
who's a really talented musician. He plays bass, guitar, piano

567
00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:04.559
or drums. And we did this instrumental and we got

568
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:07.319
like Billy Shean on it and bumble Foot and Derek

569
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:12.039
Sherinian on it, and it's killer. We did two records.

570
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:13.880
You probably haven't heard of any of them.

571
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:16.359
I did it, and now I'm gonna have to look

572
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:16.720
for him.

573
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:21.160
Check out this one song is called drum City Piece

574
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:25.200
and Fernando and what it is. I did some paintings

575
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:28.519
with a friend of mine who is an artist. He

576
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:33.119
says he does like children looking on you know. So

577
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:35.759
I did a bunch of artwork with him and we

578
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:38.000
renamed him so one of them is called drum City,

579
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:41.640
where I drew a city out of drums while he

580
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:45.920
colorized all the beautiful colored pinks and purples and everything.

581
00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:49.079
So when we did the song drum City, I named

582
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.119
the drum City and we did the video like you

583
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:57.039
got that background. The whole background was all all my paintings.

584
00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:58.599
Wowdrum City.

585
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:06.039
We did like, uh, the leaning tower of drums, drum hinged.

586
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:10.599
You know, that's brilliant, the beautiful colors. And I've saw

587
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:13.400
some bunch. I saw some stuff in stores in New

588
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:16.319
York and everything. We did some of that, and one

589
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:18.880
thing called Drumhead, which is a floor town town with

590
00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:21.039
a head in it, you know, the eyes and the mustache,

591
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.200
you know, with old notes coming out of it. But

592
00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:27.599
it's look it up coming a piece of and ed

593
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:32.799
Heck artwork, you know. So so we did the drum

594
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:37.680
City video with me and him, and we animated like

595
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.079
I had little cars and the thing. And when the

596
00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:42.519
editor said I can animate the cars for another four

597
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:44.759
hundred dollars, I said, do it. So you got the

598
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:49.039
cars are animated. You got the like a drum city

599
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.799
Brooklyn and Manhattan, and you have a high hat is

600
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:58.759
the bridge and you got you know, my my partners

601
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:00.839
over there. I'm on a on the top of the

602
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:03.640
building somewhere and my partner's walking across the bridge. The

603
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:04.680
cause of word movies.

604
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:12.839
But you're just you're amazing artists all around, musician, artist everything.

605
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:18.319
I love it, you know, and you definitely have impacted

606
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:21.559
many lives. And I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you

607
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:24.480
have new music. And thanks for being on the Indenture sound.

608
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:28.519
Yeah, you met this girl that came to these gigs. Woman,

609
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:33.079
if you can, she's got common a piece on the menu.

610
00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:35.720
If you can see that, you look at that.

611
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:37.400
That's pretty cool, right.

612
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:40.880
So you know, I said, please take a look at

613
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:44.960

00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:02.559
a drinking club. When I had bands called BBA from

637
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:05.719
my beck Bogean the piece. There was a BD eight

638
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:10.079
and club I called it, you know, amazing. Japan is amazing.

639
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:13.519
But you know, they love their music over there, they.

640
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:15.559
Love their music over there. It's just she was a

641
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:18.000
beautiful girl. I thought she was twenty. She's like forty

642
00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:18.719
four years old.

643
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:19.679
Wow.

644
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:22.480
And these women don't get they don't get married young

645
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:23.440
over there, you know.

646
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:27.000
And maybe that's why they stay looking young.

647
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:31.159
I have a Japanese wife for five years.

648
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:33.199
Oh really beautiful, beautiful.

649
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:35.920
They know how to treat a man. Let's put it

650
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:36.280
that way.

651
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:38.360
Well, there you go, there you go.

652
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:40.519
But yeah, but I love you know, I love it.

653
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:43.599
I mean with the studio in there, I just walked through.

654
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:46.519
Turn on the computers, the drums there, they never move.

655
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:51.000
The emitties the same, the ac is the same, they

656
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:53.920
sound the same. I can record something today, go in

657
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:58.599
next week and fix it. Doesn't change sound. Engineer it myself, now,

658
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:02.119
you know. And then they get the drums engineer Pat Reagan.

659
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:05.559
He makes you sound fantastic. Yeah.

660
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:09.880
Well the new album definitely sounds fantastic for sure. And

Hello, how's everyone doing? Thank you for having me?

698
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:55.000
Oh my pleasure. And I gotta tell you, it's pretty cool.

699
00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:59.159
You got this new album out and I totally relate

700
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:04.159
to Motion Factory Reset and I read what you kind

701
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:06.320
of said about it, and I loved it because I'm

702
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.559
also a motivational speaker and I'm a big believer of

703
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:13.519
it's not what happens to you, it's what your attitude

704
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:14.159
is towards it.

705
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:17.840
Sure it, sure is. You know. I listened to a

706
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:23.760
lot of stoic wisdom Marcus Aurelius Seneca, you know, epatitis. Uh,

707
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:27.159
but it's helped me a lot actually this year, and

708
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:33.639
I think, uh, you know, choosing positive, choosing peace over

709
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:37.760
chaos is really important and stuff and happiness is something

710
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:40.280
that you choose to have in your life. It's not

711
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:43.559
something you just find, you know, in a person or

712
00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:46.320
anything else. It's like you kind of have to work

713
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:46.599
at it.

714
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:49.000
Yeah, you know what I mean totally.

715
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:51.800
Yeah, And as as we get older, I think it's

716
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.719
important to live a fulfilling life, you know, because the

717
00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:58.000
past is gone. In the future, you know, you have

718
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:01.760
no idea what's going to happen, you know exactly the

719
00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:05.239
way emotion factory reset. It's kind of like the world

720
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:09.760
kind of needs a factory reset totally, like with all

721
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:12.559
everything that's going on in the world, and that's kind

722
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:15.440
of like what the meaning of that is for me,

723
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:20.280
you know. So that's what we're giving the world, is

724
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:25.039
this plate of amazing music and hopefully that can reset

725
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:27.199
your mind to something more positive.

726
00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:30.639
I love it and it's so true too.

727
00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:31.400
You know.

728
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:34.440
Sometimes it's funny because like I play video games, and

729
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:38.079
I've often thought a lot of times too, Man, it

730
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:40.719
would be nice if life sometimes was like a video

731
00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:43.760
game and you just hit the reset button when you

732
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:46.599
screwed up on a level and you could just go

733
00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:50.360
start over. And that's what we are able to do

734
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:52.159
if we put our mind to it. And you know,

735
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:53.599
it's our attitude towards it.

736
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:56.440
It totally is every every day that you wake up

737
00:40:56.519 --> 00:41:00.800
in the warning, you know, it's a grateful because somebody

738
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:04.559
else in the world did not wake up that day

739
00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:07.559
that you're waking up. They're dead, They're gone, you know,

740
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:10.480
and that's gonna happen to all of us one day

741
00:41:11.079 --> 00:41:14.800
and so but in the meantime, you might as well

742
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:17.039
live a fulfilling life, you.

743
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:21.920
Know, absolutely, So tell us for this new album, what's

744
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:26.679
your favorite party album? Besides that message? What's your favorite

745
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:28.239
part musically of the album?

746
00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:31.679
Believe it or not, it's it's the solo that I

747
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:35.880
did in Not On Your Life because I was I

748
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:39.880
got this. I learned this lick from Guthrie Govan and

749
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:42.639
I would play it. Man, it would be great if

750
00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:46.320
I could put this lick into one of the solos,

751
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:49.000
you know what I mean. And I was able to

752
00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:52.239
do that, and I kind of felt like I kind

753
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:56.400
of like achieved something that I wanted to do with

754
00:41:56.639 --> 00:42:01.159
that piece of music. So that's one of the favorite

755
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:04.159
parts of that. Of course, the two songs that I

756
00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:07.800
was able to get in there were throw Caution to

757
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:11.239
the Wind and Slidders and Slides, where my brother and

758
00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:14.920
I worked on. But also one of my favorite parts

759
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:18.679
is that I got some lyrics in there on the

760
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:22.280
song Moonshot, close to the Bone, Not on Your Life

761
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:26.320
and Buzzkill because we were on tour with Queen's like

762
00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:29.239
and I think I gave like John and Joey like

763
00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:33.840
fifty or sixty album titles, you know, and out of

764
00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:36.960
those they picked one, which was buzz Killed. But in

765
00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:42.119
there John told me, you know, Phil, I'm open to

766
00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:45.079
getting some lyrics as well, and I went, oh, really

767
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:48.679
that He's never said that before. Wow, So yeah, so

768
00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:52.599
I was able. He liked some of my lyrics and

769
00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:57.079
he actually used them on the album and he usually

770
00:42:57.199 --> 00:42:57.920
doesn't do that.

771
00:42:59.119 --> 00:42:59.360
Wow.

772
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:02.920
Yeah, he usually does not do that, but he was

773
00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:05.880
open to it, and I took the challenge and I

774
00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:09.800
gave him some ideas and they made it to those

775
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:12.639
those four songs Moonshot, close to the Boat, and Not

776
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:16.719
on Your Life in Buzzkill, and one of the lyrics

777
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:22.440
was emotion Factory Reset and that ended up being the

778
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:26.920
name of the album. So there's another thing that I'm nice.

779
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:29.440
So there's a lot for me in there.

780
00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:32.920
See. That's cool how that worked out, And like it

781
00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:38.079
must feel great after like all these decades to be

782
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:42.679
contributing in ways that you probably didn't contribute to before,

783
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:44.320
right right, you.

784
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.079
Know, because our first album was all, you know, all

785
00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:50.199
of us together, David Pittchard rest in Peace and yeah,

786
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:53.079
all of us five and stuff, doing it the old

787
00:43:53.119 --> 00:43:57.159
fashioned way, but all the lyrics were were from John,

788
00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:00.320
you know. But come twenty twenty six, some of the

789
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:04.559
lyrics and those songs are come from my ideas and stuff.

790
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:07.800
And it's not an ego thing or nothing like that.

791
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:11.639
It's just what is present of mind right now and

792
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:16.519
what happened. And I'm very much appreciative of that.

793
00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:19.920
You know, I love it, and it is something you

794
00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:22.400
should be proud of because I think as a musician,

795
00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:25.320
you do want to evolve and you do want to

796
00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:28.320
experiment and do different things, especially when you've been doing

797
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:29.199
it as long as you have.

798
00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:31.880
Yeah, yeah, and that's something different. I mean, you know,

799
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:38.559
so I feel, you know, good as a musician and

800
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:40.719
as a guitar player and stuff that I was able

801
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:45.000
to contribute more than just this good solo rhythm part

802
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:48.639
and stuff, and it actually went above that, you know

803
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:49.039
what I mean.

804
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:54.400
Nice, you know, and you mentioned Dave, Yeah, rest in peace.

805
00:44:55.159 --> 00:44:58.960
One of my favorite memories of him, was was that

806
00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:02.039
one of your show? And like I always used to

807
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:05.639
hang out, you know, we guys backstage, and then the

808
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:09.159
security wouldn't let me through, and he came running through

809
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:12.000
the security, grabbed my arm and just like pulled me

810
00:45:12.199 --> 00:45:13.760
through the security card.

811
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:19.679
That is Dave right there in a enough shell. He

812
00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:23.360
broke barriers, he broke rules, you know what I mean.

813
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:29.719
It's like an incredible musician artist he drew. He was

814
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:33.440
very creative. He could play eruption on the piano, which

815
00:45:33.559 --> 00:45:37.000
was funy, amazing. You know, everybody's playing it on the guitar,

816
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:39.719
but check this out. I went to it one time

817
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:42.559
and he goes, check this out. He starts playing eruption

818
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:47.559
on the piano. I'm like, he's wild. That's wild. In

819
00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:50.079
twenty twenty six, I just started playing the piano. I

820
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:51.199
actually picked it up and.

821
00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:53.199
Really just barely.

822
00:45:53.480 --> 00:45:57.000
I'm just barely like learning the notes and everything, just

823
00:45:57.119 --> 00:45:59.800
because it's different than the guitar. And I kind of

824
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:03.559
to see how all this like comes together. You know,

825
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:06.639
I'm not saying that there's gonna be piano in the

826
00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:09.960
next time saying album, but that I'm just doing it

827
00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:12.000
so I could grow as a musician.

828
00:46:12.840 --> 00:46:15.079
Yeah, totally, And I think it probably would make you

829
00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:17.880
a better guitar player too on top of it, because

830
00:46:18.199 --> 00:46:22.599
it's just a different part to add to it, you know.

831
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:25.400
Yeah, And I think Eddie van Halen, I know that

832
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:28.639
he goes, oh, I never, I mean I never like

833
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:30.800
learned how to read music and stuff. But I mean

834
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:35.079
he sure played piano first, and then he won competitions.

835
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:38.920
The Long Beach Piano competition he won that. So I

836
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:41.719
don't know, if you know, how could you win that

837
00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:44.599
and not learn how to play read music. But the

838
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:48.920
thing that I think that his fingers and his ability

839
00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:53.400
to play piano, it helped him in his guitar.

840
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:54.559
Yeah.

841
00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:58.159
Yeah, I'm just hoping that that helps me too.

842
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:01.800
And the most important part is that you have fun

843
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:04.760
doing it because right like being a musician, that's the part,

844
00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:07.840
like everything else is probably not so much fun, The

845
00:47:08.039 --> 00:47:11.000
playing and doing that, that's the fun part.

846
00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:14.880
Yeah, that's the fun part. That is the The aspect

847
00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:18.800
of just doing that is the judge the joy, you know,

848
00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:22.639
and creating and stuff like that, that's the joy, you

849
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:23.000
know what I.

850
00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:28.679
Mean totally totally. And so one story, good or bad

851
00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:32.119
in your whole career in music, what would you say

852
00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:32.519
it would be?

853
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:37.159
Would be like when we opened up for the Scorpions

854
00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.360
in ninety one and they had that hit with the

855
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:47.480
whistling and being in the stadium full of twenty thousand

856
00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:52.920
people whistling that and me like looking up and they

857
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:59.519
were whistling so so much that there was air coming

858
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:05.599
towards us, you know, wow, all like looking and that moment,

859
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:08.000
it was all dark and they all had their lighters

860
00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:11.400
on and they were whistling that part, and the Scorpions

861
00:48:11.480 --> 00:48:17.239
treated us like kings, you know, winds of winds of change,

862
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:21.320
winds of change. That moment right there was where I

863
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:26.000
felt just completely like out of spirit, like you know,

864
00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:30.519
and and I kind of got me a little emotional

865
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:34.719
because it was like a beautiful moment that I'll never forget.

866
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:38.199
See. That's what I love to hear stuff like that,

867
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:40.639
because that's what makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it.

868
00:48:41.159 --> 00:48:43.679
Yeah? Yeah, So.

869
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:47.599
Tell tell us a little bit about what got you

870
00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:52.239
started in music period, like what and who started first?

871
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:55.079
You are Gonzo, like, who started or you do it

872
00:48:55.159 --> 00:48:57.159
at the same time when you were little kids.

873
00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:02.320
I think Gonzo did first. Gonzo was friends with John

874
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:06.039
and Joey. But what started me was Jimmy Page and

875
00:49:06.199 --> 00:49:11.239
as freely. I remember in junior high school, Joey was

876
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:15.599
playing the guitar. David Avulo rest in Peace was the

877
00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:21.039
local guitar hero and John sang and Gonzo played drums,

878
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:26.039
and they did this thing in junior high school and I.

879
00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:29.480
Was sitting there and I'm going, man, that's fucking cool.

880
00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:32.519
I want to be part of this, you know, And

881
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:35.280
so I started kind of taking the guitar a little

882
00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:38.159
bit more serious. I think I was like fifteen. And

883
00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:44.239
then in high school we we came up with the

884
00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:49.079
band Royal Decree and we played covers and stuff like that,

885
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:54.320
and it was me, Gonzo, Joey and John and then

886
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:59.119
and then when we we left high school, we disbanded,

887
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:04.679
but actually John moved to South Pasadena High School and

888
00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:10.039
Gonzo followed, and that's when Gonzol met David Pritchard, and

889
00:50:10.239 --> 00:50:15.480
then David Pritchard, me and Gonzo started playing together, and

890
00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:20.360
that came to be Armored Saint because then John Bush

891
00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:23.679
joined and then Joey Vera joined and then' that's kind

892
00:50:23.719 --> 00:50:27.920
of like the the citadel of Armored Saint, the.

893
00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:30.960
Heart of it. That's how it started.

894
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:35.079
And here We Are twenty twenty six, brand new album

895
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:41.079
that like, I listened to the whole album, and man

896
00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:46.079
it is is not only really really good twenty twenty

897
00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:50.239
six medal, but it also brings me back to the

898
00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:53.559
eighties medal. It's like a combination of both. It's like

899
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:57.639
if you took eighties Armored Saint and modernized it to

900
00:50:57.719 --> 00:51:04.920
twenty twenty six. That's this album. Yeah, yeah, exactly, And

901
00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:07.480
like I have in the background here, there's a bunch

902
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:11.519
of vinyls so I love all the colors. So you

903
00:51:11.639 --> 00:51:14.920
got a bunch of cool packages that people can get

904
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:20.360
for the new album when it drops. Yeah, it drops

905
00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:25.239
on May twenty second and through Metal Blade Records. So

906
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:27.639
funny because it's how I got to your first show,

907
00:51:27.800 --> 00:51:31.559
because like it's funny. I said something Brian a few

908
00:51:31.639 --> 00:51:35.119
years ago about this about how he was like that.

909
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:37.599
I said he was a brilliant marketer, and he's like,

910
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:39.760
I was just a record store clerk, because me and

911
00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:43.360
my friends used to go to OZ Records and he

912
00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:47.079
would go here, check this out. And then he he

913
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:51.760
showed us the you know, the promo flyer for that

914
00:51:51.920 --> 00:51:56.440
Halloween show with Wasp and you guys and headshaker, and

915
00:51:56.559 --> 00:51:59.719
we just looked at like, oh, we gotta go to

916
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:03.480
that show, and you know there it is. The rest

917
00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:05.000
is history, I know.

918
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:10.000
And and it's incredible how Brian Slago was keen to

919
00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:16.480
tap into the Metallica, the Armored Saint, the Brad Marty

920
00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:20.880
Friedman was even in in there. Yeah, and also a

921
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:25.039
lot of these bands that he he kind of like

922
00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:31.920
helped get on record first, yeah, became something and one

923
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:38.159
of them became the biggest heavy metal band of all times, Metallica.

924
00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:41.079
Right and I was at their first show ever because

925
00:52:41.079 --> 00:52:42.880
of Brian Slago. Wow.

926
00:52:43.679 --> 00:52:48.199
You know, Brian de Slago deserves you know, some kind

927
00:52:48.280 --> 00:52:51.119
of mentioned in the Metal Hall of Fame somewhere, and.

928
00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:55.480
No doubt I would. We wouldn't be talking right now.

929
00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:57.639
I think if it weren't for Brian Slago, because I

930
00:52:57.760 --> 00:53:01.360
probably wouldn't be here, and who knows metal would be I.

931
00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:04.119
Know, look at that he's still helping us all.

932
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:05.599
Go uh Joe.

933
00:53:05.719 --> 00:53:09.119
He's married to the president now, which is Tracy Vera. Yeah,

934
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:15.119
and look at what happened with that. I mean it's incredible.

935
00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:18.519
You know what Brian Sleakel has done, And kudos to

936
00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:21.719
him in the tip of the hat to Brian Slang totally.

937
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:25.480
And speaking of Joey, I love too that he just

938
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:29.800
keeps producing your albums because he's pretty bad ass at that.

939
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:33.000
And you can tell when you hear the final you know,

940
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:36.239
songs of the production quality.

941
00:53:36.159 --> 00:53:40.639
It sure is. It's incredible, the amount of awesomeness that

942
00:53:40.800 --> 00:53:46.000
is Joey Vera And we love him and I appreciate

943
00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:49.119
him very much as as a person, as a bandmate,

944
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:54.159
you know, and as a business partner and everything else. Really,

945
00:53:54.400 --> 00:53:56.679
you know what I mean, totally on top of it,

946
00:53:56.920 --> 00:53:59.320
an awesome bass player right right.

947
00:54:00.519 --> 00:54:02.719
Like I remember that first show, I was like, man,

948
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:06.239
he sounds like Steve Harris. Swear to god, That's what

949
00:54:06.360 --> 00:54:10.159
I thought back then, you know, and still holds true.

950
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:15.639
So thanks for giving us new music here in twenty

951
00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:19.440
