Season 20, Episode 12 of The Adventures of Pipeman.

Chapter 1:

KID BOOKIE - Rose McGowan (feat. Rose McGowan) released on 20th Jan * (early hrs of Tuesday morning)

Rose has said…. "I chose Kid Bookie because the moment I heard him, I knew our collaboration would be electric. His DM to me in 2024 was direct and real, but hearing the track sealed it. His ability to go from melody to a full-throttle roar over a propulsive beat had purpose and fire. After years of silence, I arrived in South London with no lyrics and no idea if creativity was still in me. In the studio, I tore a page from an engineer’s manual and wrote my first lyrics in six years. Bookie called it Rose McGowan ft. Rose McGowan. And it was an honor that he named the track after the essence of me before I’d even written a word. Bookie reached across an ocean. I reached back. The rest is this track; this cultural moment. I hope it resonates with all needing a release with a dose of ascension. I’m mad for it”.

Ryan Roxie Guests on Rocky’s Rock and Roll Symphony; New Song & Video Premiere on YouTube

Fight Another Day the brand-new single and official video

Ryan Roxie, longtime guitarist for rock legend Alice Cooper, was the featured guest on Rocky’s Rock and Roll Symphony, which aired on Christmas Day on the Music From The 412 platform and is now available On Demand via https://musicfromthe412.com/ryan-roxie/ and Roku.

Recorded on the eve of Alice Cooper and Judas Priest’s Pittsburgh concert, the intimate appearance featured an acoustic performance, audience Q&A, and meet-and-greet. Roxie performed selections from his solo catalog including “Second Chances,” “When You See God,” “The Risk,” “36 Hours,” and “The Question,” while sharing personal stories and insights into his career.

Known for his deep connection with fans, Roxie often bypasses backstage downtime in favor of spontaneous meet-and-greets, record store visits, and impromptu performances—what he affectionately calls the “Rock ’n’ Roll Parking Lot.” Pittsburgh has hosted many of his most memorable fan-first appearances.

Fight Another Day, the brand-new single and official video by Ryan Roxie, blending indie rock energy with a retro 8-bit video game aesthetic inspired by the classic arcade worlds. Released on Boxing Day, Fight Another Day is about resilience, appreciation for where you've come from, and finding the strength to keep going, one more level at a time. https://youtu.be/2VE9X1PdU7U

The track features guest contributions from Keith Weir (The Quireboys) on piano and keyboards and Brijitte West (NY Loose) on background vocals. West is best known for the band’s 1990s hit “Spit,” featured on The Crow: City of Angels soundtrack.

whole story about and what he's about. So let's welcome

to the show. Kid Bookie. How are you.

18
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.239
I'm wonderful, my friend, mister Patman, I'm.

19
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.239
Doing great, doing great, I gotta say right off the

20
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:16.079
bat too. I was laughing because I saw an interview

21
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:21.120
that Rose and You did where you were talking about McDonald's.

22
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.280
And yeah, that was cool.

23
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:29.239
So McDonald's and recording, So how does this all happen?

24
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.000
How does this all start? Tell us the story?

25
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.319
I guess it's weird. I'm a I'm a you know,

26
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.159
I'm a big collaborator and I'm known for. I'm known

27
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.319
for sometimes pulling out things at the bag that I

28
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.439
guess not many would do, but if they had the position,

29
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:48.920
I always think they should have done it.

30
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:49.120
You know.

31
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.519
Yeah, yeah, you know.

32
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.879
So I guess, you know, I'm making a project. I've

33
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.319
got loads of friends on this project, you know, And

34
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.200
I guess I'm blessed and fortunate enough to to have

35
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.799
those types of friends. But I thought I had this

36
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.200
idea for a record that I wanted to name genuinely

37
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.120
just Rose and Gown. And I didn't know Rose at

38
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:09.960
the time. Like I was like, I have this song

39
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.159
of the name rosemen Gown because you know, it wasn't

40
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:17.479
just about people, you know, making a person's name of

41
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.439
the song for any reason or you know, for buzzwords.

42
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.039
You know, we've got so many people that just put

43
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.439
a woman's name of a song just to make that

44
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:25.199
ship pop.

45
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.439
But I was like, I was like, oh good, my bad.

46
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:39.120
I was like, stop it. So I was like, a sorry, sorry.

47
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:43.000
That's all right. That I don't know if it's a

48
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:44.919
he or she but wants to be on the show.

49
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.080
Is the problem clearly clearly that it was just getting

50
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.680
like I just wanted to make a song with someone

51
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.919
who's like a monolith in this culture and aligned myself

52
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.439
with them on the record if I could, and the

53
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.560
alchemy brew it to fruition. So what can you do

54
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:05.960
about the universe and putting that sentiments that come.

55
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:06.479
Right back to you?

56
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:11.280
I know, Man, it's so badass and what a great song.

57
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:18.319
And see the song also brings me back to, you know,

58
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:22.840
like decades ago of how music was longer, and you

59
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.639
kind of went on a journey and it's like you

60
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.000
didn't even know what to expect, Like you take the

61
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.280
old school metal, you really didn't know what to expect.

62
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.919
You took a song like Battery by Metallica, and if

63
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.879
you listen to it for only ten seconds, you missed

64
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.800
the shocker in that cave writer, you know. And I

65
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.159
felt that same way about this song. I'm listening to

66
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.360
it and then all of a sudden it turns into

67
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.840
this like brutal screaming. That was so badass. And I

68
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.639
just love combining like the melody with the brutal metal

69
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.800
and just bending all the genres to make something unique.

70
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.199
I think if you're not well too many this might

71
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.639
be their first introduction to me, especially if they are more,

72
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.879
you know, just fans of Rose mcgow went away from music,

73
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.639
and but this is a fsis I play with in

74
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.879
all of my stuff. You know, this is like pure identity.

75
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.839
This is not it's not hard, and it's like it's

76
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.439
natural because I'm a student of the game.

77
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.120
So coming into this game and studying it first and foremost,

78
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.199
but also being able to be friends of the people

79
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.519
that have taught me a lot of what I've known

80
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.759
in this music industry is like, how can I not

81
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.240
mix them so affluently? You know, they're both literally genome

82
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:44.399
patterns in my coding.

83
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.079
Man, Like they're like my, my, you split, my you

84
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.920
split my wrist notes come out of that ship, you

85
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.680
know what I'm saying. So it's like that's what's what

86
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:53.120
I believe.

87
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.160
So it's like I'm the I'm the generation that grew

88
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.600
up on such an amalgamation of sounds. It's like it's

89
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.920
almost you're doing yourself a di service to not pay

90
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.199
homage to the to the to what's in you.

91
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.839
No doubt, and that's why I love about you. From

92
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.600
everything I've seen, You're like just true to yourself. You

93
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.240
don't really care what anybody thinks. You're gonna be true

94
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:16.800
to your own values more.

95
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.240
Start caring just a little bit. I'll be real. You

96
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.079
had to I went too far into the no Fox

97
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.240
given and I had to come back.

98
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.879
I know, right, Sometimes that does happen, But you know

99
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.720
it's still You're still being real and you're still being you.

100
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.879
And I think that's what's so cool about this song,

101
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.160
because I think Rose is super cool and the fact

102
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:41.160
that you guys collaborated for something that I think it's

103
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.519
like been six years since she's even written any lyrics.

104
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.079
Yeah, it's you know it is.

105
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.600
You know, sometimes I have to detach myself from like

106
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.000
Kid Bookie, the artists and kind of put myself back

107
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.240
into Tyrone, the normal dude that you know, who's just.

108
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.120
A civilian on earth, like you know, the Orgas that

109
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.480
won the race. That's what I am.

110
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.000
So like I have to sometimes go await a minute.

111
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:07.160
You know where I come from in South London, you don't.

112
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.000
I didn't know anybody, Like there's nobody I didn't know anybody,

113
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.000
like you know what I'm saying. Like it's literally it

114
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.000
was just me and and and the whistle of the wind.

115
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.199
And you know, so I guess I do sometimes when

116
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.079
I do step back and take look at the triumphs,

117
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:23.519
but it's hard to sometimes count them.

118
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:24.240
Like I'm really weird.

119
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.720
I don't like I don't like to get excited too

120
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.680
much because I know how quick excitement runs out. But

121
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.839
that's because I'm experiencing my industry like I've had it,

122
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:33.959
ole and I've had it.

123
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.800
I've had nothing. So I'm like, all right, let me,

124
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:38.959
let me focus and be very.

125
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:40.560
Well.

126
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.439
It's not even about being humble, because humble is such

127
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.800
a weird word, but it's humility through the sections like cool,

128
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:46.639
we've done this thing.

129
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.839
You you can pull this together. So you clearly are

130
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:51.480
you have you know what I mean, You have your

131
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:52.079
magic in you.

132
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.560
You can pull things together, whether or not you have

133
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:56.920
to make people believe in your magic.

134
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.879
It's a whole other level of magic itself. But yeah,

135
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.399
you know, to be able to bring people out of there,

136
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.600
I would say their own brain, because the reality is

137
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.560
it was her choice to not you know, it.

138
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.120
Is it is being inside your own head exactly. And

139
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.600
you know, I get what you're saying too, because there's

140
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:22.800
pipe Man and then there's Dean. Okay, and Dean. Even

141
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:27.720
my ex wife confuses it. Okay, like, she'll listen to

142
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.439
my radio show and she'll be like, she'll call one

143
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.959
of my kids, what the fuck happy your father? Blah

144
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.720
blah blah blah blah blah blah, and then she thinks,

145
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.120
I'm like this different person. It's like there's there's multiple

146
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:45.199
facets of our personality, you know, and like and I

147
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.399
think that's the way everybody should be personally. I joke

148
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.879
around on the show and I say I'm schizophrenic, but

149
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.000
really it's just normal. You have different sides of you

150
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.720
and different roles you play in your life.

151
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.199
You know, in general, is every moment of mood and

152
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:00.680
say it of who you are are, you know, And

153
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.720
I think that's what I guess.

154
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:04.519
It's weird.

155
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.000
And I always say I relate to the crazy. So

156
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.959
if you are one of the craziest getting on, so

157
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:11.399
you know, well.

158
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.600
They always say I attract the crazies.

159
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.160
So for the same wavelengths, we're walking a very fine

160
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.879
line of schizophrenia.

161
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.759
So you know, it's and that's the thing.

162
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:29.759
I'm so emboldened in my individuality, not to not just

163
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.480
to serve it as this lawless, go fuck yourself mantra,

164
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:37.720
but but but knowing that a lot of people project

165
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.399
so much upon you that you start to rewire your

166
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:44.840
own brain synapses to other people. Thinking where I've you know,

167
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.480
I've had to really fight hard to trust myself more

168
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.759
than anyone else because people make you not.

169
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.600
Trust yourself and the only person you should trust. You

170
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.159
need to learn to trust yourself because you have to make.

171
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.480
Decisions every day through whether their choices of their inspiration,

172
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:02.600
choices of happiness, sadness, whatever.

173
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.399
You need to be very centered when you're going, when

174
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.639
you're not, when you're not even centered, So you know,

175
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.279
learning to be, like I said, operating through all of

176
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.000
these places and knowing how who I want to be

177
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:15.200
because I have been every.

178
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:16.799
Shade of a man I don't want to be. So

179
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.159
I like painting from the palette of the colors that

180
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.480
I choose to be today, you know, I love and

181
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.480
so yeah, it's nice to have people recognize that that

182
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:30.080
that you know that I don't even know if it's

183
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.720
just being yourself man, But it's like that many people

184
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:36.159
are stuck. They're lost because everyone keep telling They listen

185
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.840
to everyone telling them how to be, but most people

186
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.120
don't even listen to their own advice.

187
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:41.879
So I don't want to tell nobody had to be.

188
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.919
I would always just say, take what's natural to you

189
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:46.720
and manipulate it for yourself.

190
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:50.159
And people can tell. People can tell when you're being

191
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.039
natural or if you're being what other people want you

192
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.279
to be type of thing. And you know, I do

193
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.679
want to clarify because even though you have you know,

194
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.159
you are you and you don't give a fuck, but

195
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.480
you do give a fuck. You just give a fucking

196
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:08.559
the right places. And that's why you have a song

197
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:13.159
like this like Rose McGowan and actually feature Rose McGowan

198
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:17.120
in it, because she's somebody that does give a fuck

199
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.960
about a lot of things. And that tells me something

200
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.440
about you, because you guys wouldn't be clabbing unless you

201
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:25.600
did give a fuck. But you give a fuck about

202
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.399
the right things, like human beings.

203
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.200
Oh you know what, Like it's she's she's she's her

204
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.360
own beast, you know, and I'm my own beast too.

205
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.440
I think the I think that's what allows us to

206
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.279
kind of get on, because you know, we're not just

207
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.559
trying to appease each other's happiness when you're not even

208
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.639
like when it's just like hey hey hey, hey hey, No,

209
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:51.120
that's like I don't have those relationships with anybody. So

210
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.320
we are, you know, and I guess me being a

211
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.440
very extreme character sometimes on the jump, I always say,

212
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:57.759
you will know where you sit with me, and I'll

213
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:00.440
probably know where I sit with you, just because you know,

214
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.919
we're not just a bag of bones. We are vibing frequency.

215
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.440
You know, we have brains for certain reasons, so you know,

216
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.840
it's it's it's you know, And I try not to assume,

217
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:12.279
so I won't assume who you are. But with five

218
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.720
minutes will allow me to create a nice picture and

219
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.279
run with that potential picture as a stairity, you know.

220
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.559
But so roses, you know, we we are. We're very

221
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.039
linear and relative in that kind.

222
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.879
Of facet of just we're very open towards each other,

223
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.840
whether we both like it or not. But that's the

224
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.320
power of growth. It's knowing that it's not about what

225
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.440
you both like or not. It's just about the betterment

226
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.240
of remove ourselves from something and what is the betterment

227
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.240
of this thing we're doing. And you know that's that's

228
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.080
an enjoyable prospect for anyone you want to work with.

229
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.559
I agree with that million percent just in general, Like

230
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.360
I just think I did a person the other day

231
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.440
because of course, you know all the bullshit going on

232
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.879
in my country, and it's like people just like, if

233
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.399
people aren't intentionally harming other people, accept them for who

234
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.240
they are and you know, get to know them for

235
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.039
who they are and opposed to who you want them

236
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:07.320
to be.

237
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.799
You know, like you said, was intent, Yeah.

238
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.120
Exactly, exactly one hundred percent. And the fact of the

239
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:18.399
matter is is we all come from different backgrounds, different upbringings,

240
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:24.360
different geographics, different influences, friends, variables, family, that we're all

241
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.519
going to have different opinions about things. Maybe we could

242
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:31.360
learn from each other instead of fighting with each other

243
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.519
because we don't agree, you know. And I think people

244
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.000
should speak their mind. If they have good intentions, they

245
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.600
should speak their mind, whether you agree with them or not.

246
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:43.360
And that's the thing.

247
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.840
I think everyone likes to know it all right, So

248
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.679
no one's got room to learn anything because people think

249
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.799
they're operating from their level of understanding, in their place

250
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.159
of thinking. That sometimes, depending on how you think, might

251
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:57.559
put a guard up to you thinking how you absorb

252
00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:58.480
other people's thinking.

253
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.320
I'm very open, you know. The man on the street with.

254
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.080
Nothing can teach me a lot, and not just because

255
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.000
he's got nothing. But I don't even know what he's

256
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.120
saying or what his thoughts are. But when you get

257
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.639
into the when you get into speaking, speaking is just

258
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:12.200
a flow state of consciousness. And the more people become

259
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.399
conscious when you speak, the more you start to understand

260
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:15.440
about them, and the more you learn.

261
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.039
So I'm always open to learning.

262
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:19.919
Like I'm I think, I guess people always said to me,

263
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.519
like my my biggest problem in this industry.

264
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.600
Is that I'm so, and maybe it is, but I'm

265
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:25.519
so like I don't.

266
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:29.279
I'm not like no matter what depresses say about me

267
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:32.759
or I'm the this thing, I'm I'm just a dude

268
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:35.879
with scars on his body, like I never.

269
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:37.519
I'm not out here to be famous. I don't give

270
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:38.440
a fuck about Hollywood.

271
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.639
I don't care about the mannerisms I need to keep

272
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.159
for someone to take a photo and looking I don't

273
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:43.559
give a fuck.

274
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.559
I'll put my asshole out there on the camera and

275
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.759
probably far whilst doing it, you know, so like.

276
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.720
Like don't like, and that will make the person who's

277
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:55.200
who's trying to be the glass frame without the crack

278
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.080
fucking fall over and shatter to a thousand pieces. But

279
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:02.360
sometimes they need that because I fucking perfect shit and

280
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:03.879
I don't want to be around it. I don't want

281
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.000
to associate with it. I enjoy the visceral nature of

282
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.480
human beings and all of their forms. If you're a

283
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.000
bit unhinged, and you know, find out where it places

284
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.639
best and just learn how to learn your method to

285
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:17.279
your chaos or method to your madness.

286
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:19.919
I'm a man who's lived in so much chaos that

287
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.919
I found peace in it.

288
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:23.200
But now it's more like I don't want to always.

289
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.799
I'm not even angry like that anymore. So I'm more like,

290
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.279
it's just nice to It's nice to operate from places

291
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.759
of thinking and states of being where they are just

292
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.639
literally from a neutral place, and I don't add any disdain,

293
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:37.799
malice or whatever my intent is.

294
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:38.759
I do my best.

295
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.879
I try not to assume, I don't take anything personal,

296
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.559
and blah blah blah blah blah. I might fail tomorrow,

297
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:47.480
but as long as I keep remembering, it allows me

298
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.159
to keep reshaping those thoughts that I have to go

299
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.039
through and paintful this palette I said, I want to

300
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:52.440
be you know.

301
00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:55.840
I love it and so true too, because like when

302
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.080
we live in chaos, which I have too. It's like

303
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:03.120
you become comfortable with it, and then it isn't until

304
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.679
you decide not to live in that chaos that you

305
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.799
realize how uncomfortable it was. You think you were comfortable.

306
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:16.639
Yeah, oh my god, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but

307
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.360
everyone aids you because sometimes your chaos is what's bringing

308
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.559
their pleasure because.

309
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.759
Oh yeah, they don't want you to change. They don't

310
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.200
want I know people in my life when I've made

311
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:30.480
changes that were better for me, they didn't like it

312
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.240
because it wasn't better for them.

313
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:39.200
Unfamiliar, right, So we like familiarity in patterns, and humans

314
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.480
live in patterns, and when you break a pattern, they

315
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.759
there's no fault to jump to because they normally jump

316
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.039
to the next sport. But I don't mind scattering my

317
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.000
thoughts around and kind of reshaping what ways I need

318
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.679
to think, because everything a plot needs a different tendem,

319
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:55.759
you know. Yeah, so yeah it is, it's weird. It's

320
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:57.919
not weird at all. Actually, it's quite simple. But we

321
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.120
are around people that enjoy and complex scenarios in the

322
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.960
simple situations when all they require is sometimes yes or

323
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:06.519
no exactly.

324
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.759
And all this is why you're such a true artist

325
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:14.720
because to me, the artists that last are the ones

326
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.200
that think like you. They're not the ones looking to

327
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.240
get rich and famous. They're not the ones looking to

328
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:23.919
become a celebrity. Usually it's the exact opposite.

329
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:24.320
You know.

330
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.879
You take somebody like Kurt Cobain, he hated it, and

331
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:30.360
you know he would rather just sit in the hotel

332
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.720
room and play his guitar with Courtney, you know, instead

333
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.519
of being out there with everybody like, oh my god,

334
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.039
oh my god. And that's the truth, dude.

335
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:42.200
I get vetted every single time people want me to

336
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:44.320
be on something, and I just literally like, you know,

337
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:45.960
the more you've just done this to me, the more

338
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:49.559
you've made my brain oppose everything you just thought. And

339
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:51.600
it's like, I hate it, but was just like almost

340
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.240
molding a shape of you to be presented to people

341
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:56.679
for a wider taste. But I'm like, you don't know

342
00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.639
what they want. You have no idea what people want,

343
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:02.639
and you can't decide that until they've given it. Because

344
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.160
you can hand people two folks that look like exactly

345
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:07.960
the same and one might just have a small point

346
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.519
at the top, and it's like it's just it's just

347
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.039
their preference. We don't fucking know, you know what I'm saying.

348
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.640
And it's like, so most of the time, I've always

349
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:21.920
been like, ah, Bookie, like can you And I'm like, no, no,

350
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.680
because every time I leave the thing that you told

351
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.119
me I shouldn't been doing, you're sitting in the game

352
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.759
that was amazing, And I'm like, you're so used to

353
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.880
conventional bullshit that when you really get ship, that's not bullshit.

354
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.799
And it's just shit with no sugar on top of it,

355
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.279
not shit coated sugar. It's just a pile of shit

356
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:41.880
and it's just there for you to look at without

357
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:43.759
having to question and put under the microscope.

358
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:46.640
It's just shit. People don't know what to fucking do

359
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:48.880
because they want to explain this shit. They want to

360
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:51.359
explain the ridges of the edge of that fucking pooh,

361
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:52.519
and it's just shit.

362
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:53.559
You know what I mean?

363
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:59.039
Yeah, yeah, I love it, but I will say Rose

364
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.599
McGowan feature Dan Rose McGowan is definitely not shit. It's

365
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.319
a badass song and everybody's got to check it out.

366
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.519
How do they connect to you on socials on the web,

367
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.640
how they get the new song? Check out all your

368
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.440
other stuff. You've also done a lot of other great

369
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:19.279
collapse and some great songs with Corey Taylor. So let's

370
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:21.920
share with everybody how they can connect to you, and

371
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:24.519
we could make this message even bigger and stronger.

372
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.960
You can connect to me by just I don't know,

373
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:32.000
clicking my handle and having a gander upon the pages

374
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:34.200
of the content I have to put out and the

375
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:37.000
selected little writings I put on Twitter and making a

376
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.640
big formation of who I potentially can be. And then

377
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:42.000
you can message me in and I'll respond longer, and

378
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.240
then you go, ah, now I've got a little personal

379
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:46.079
thing into it, and then all of a sudden you've

380
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:47.720
got a parasocial relationship.

381
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:49.559
But there we go. That's where you can catch me,

382
00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:52.599
or you can just find me on the streets lingering

383
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:53.759

384
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:58.759

Jamie how Vegas, Now, this is the pipe Man here

414
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:07.559
on the Adventures of pipe Man W four c Y Radio.

415
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.240
I'm super excited about our next guest and actually where

416
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:13.359
he's at, because we were just talking about that before

417
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:16.759
the interview. So let's welcome to the show, Ryan Roxy.

418
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:18.640
How are you tut up?

419
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:20.359
What's happening in pipe Man?

420
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:22.720
Great to be on the show, Oh Man, Great to

421
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:25.680
have you first. I have to say right off the bat,

422
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:31.240
I love your studio. Back in there with all those guitars.

423
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:35.240
Let's start there. Tell us about those guitars, because I'm

424
00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:37.440
sure each one of those the way you have them

425
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.279
placed has some special significance to you.

426
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.200
The only significance it has is that I actually need

427
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:46.559
every single one of the guitars that that's sort of

428
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:49.640
put around the room. Expect you This one, especially because

429
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:54.759
it's a original Alice Cooper Band guitar, was the Gibson SG.

430
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:59.279
Both the original ogs Michael Bruce and Glenn Buston played

431
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.359
the SG. So there, in fact, I have to learn

432
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.799
a lot of those songs and their parts. Makes it

433
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.400
easier to do on the SG I thought you'd like

434
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:10.960
to talk about the room because, like, to be honest

435
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.319
with you, I can go and pick up that guitar.

436
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:16.559
It's not even a green screen. Which for the longest,

437
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.960
longest time I have done a podcast called the End

438
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:25.279
of Trenches podcast, and I always had a studio green screen,

439
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.799
and people always thought, oh, man, yeah, that's a cool studio.

440
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:29.839
But I actually have a cool studio.

441
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.200
See that looks cool to me. I'm like, I wish

442
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:35.359
I had that as a green screen.

443
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.480
I'll send you a screenshot of of just the studio,

444
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:44.440
but no, I'm very lucky to have this and be

445
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:48.079
able to record music. I recorded the last two singles

446
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:51.400
of the guitars and vocals right here in this room,

447
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:54.359
and then it kind of an international affair. The drums

448
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:57.519
recorded in Albuquerque and his home studio, and then we

449
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:01.559
send up all the tracks to Camp to our producer

450
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:05.960
Robbie Miller, and he basically, you know, puts all the

451
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.839
love in, puts in all the hard work making it right,

452
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:12.799
and it becomes an international sort of recording, especially with

453
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:15.640
this newest single that we just have called Fight Another Day.

454
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:19.359
We had a keyboard player from the UK Keith Wheer.

455
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:24.400
He emailed his tracks in to Canada from the UK,

456
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:27.160
and then Bridget West from the New York Loose. She

457
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:29.960
sang some backgrounds on it, and she was somewhere in

458
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.200
Europe and she laid her vocals down, So truly is

459
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:34.359
an international affair.

460
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:37.680
And first of all, I want to say, I love

461
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:40.839
the name of that song alone because I lived that

462
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:42.000
my whole life.

463
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:45.319
Okay, another day always you.

464
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:50.039
Know that to me, like says it all, Like I

465
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:53.119
don't even have to listen to this song yet and

466
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:56.880
know that that is all me. And I'll tell you

467
00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.680
what tripped me out too. Okay. So I'm wearing today

468
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.000
Grateful Dead shirt because my live show in a couple

469
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:06.400
hours I'm going to be dedicating most of it to

470
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:11.839
Bobby Weir. And I was like, trip it out what

471
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:16.359
I saw the same name, and I'm like, wow, that's

472
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:17.240
really weird.

473
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:18.440
He's weird.

474
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:21.480
Yeah. On the keyboards and on the piano, he's great.

475
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.359
He was in a band called the London Choir Boys.

476
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:25.359
He's been there for years and now he's him and

477
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:30.559
Griff has their own band together, Griff Griffin from the

478
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.640
Choir Boys. They've got their own thing together, and it's

479
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.960
it's sounding real good. But you know, the grateful dead.

480
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:39.880
If you're doing a whole show, and it shouldn't.

481
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:41.599
You be like bong man and not pipe man.

482
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.079
You know what's so funny about that? So I go

483
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.440
on tour and I do festivals all over the US, UK, Europe,

484
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:53.039
and you know, the one question I don't ever ask

485
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.920
artists is the question that's asked of me all the

486
00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:00.759
time by artists Like so, I never asked, how'd you

487
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.319
get your band name? You know, because I know from

488
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:06.559
a lot of my friends too, that's like the number

489
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:11.920
one hated question that they get. And they all go

490
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.680
to me. They all go, well, word, pipe man, come,

491
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.799
and they always make these assumptions and then they literally

492
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.319
will write a song in the middle of the interview

493
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:24.319
and like sing this song and it always either has

494
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:27.880
to do with plumbing or what you just mentioned, bongs.

495
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:35.680
So everyone knows you were a former adult actor, so

496
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.680
you know pipe man was your sort of your nickname.

497
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:41.279
I guess, yeah, there there you go.

498
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.799
He was your he was your moniker send in the

499
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:45.359
pipe man.

500
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:50.400
That's right, exactly, see, and I surf so it could

501
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:52.680
go along with that too, like it could go so

502
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:53.960
many different ways.

503
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:57.279
I think that's where it actually came from, you know,

504
00:25:57.400 --> 00:25:59.079
cause you're in the pipe, you're in you know.

505
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:04.759
Our skateboarder. I'm a skateboarder too. But guess what my

506
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:09.359
last name. Yep, my last name is Piper. That's where

507
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:12.039
it came from. It's as simple as that. And that's

508
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:15.319
what I find if people ask how people got their

509
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:19.759
band names, because usually there's not some big story behind it.

510
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:23.839
It's some simple thing or like, hey, we were just

511
00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:27.519
hanging out, we were Stone and the name sounded good.

512
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:31.480
Well, yeah, Roxy seventy seven, which is the name of

513
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:35.359
my solo band. That is pretty obvious, is my last thing.

514
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:37.119
Roxy seventy seven made sense.

515
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:39.960
The band before that that I had a kind of

516
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.599
my solo band, but I put a band name to

517
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.480
it was Dad's Porno Mag DPM with the great Mike

518
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:47.680
Fazano on the drums and Will Efforts on the base.

519
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.079
But that was Dad's Porno mag And that's again pretty

520
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:55.240
self explanatory. The first time you found out about sex,

521
00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:01.039
first time you found maybe he saw another another person

522
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:03.880
of the opposite sex with no clothes on, was probably

523
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:04.799
your dad's.

524
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.759
Pornomag At least from my generation you know.

525
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.119
Now's yeah, and that's true. It is true. It is true.

526
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:13.359
And as somebody that used to hang out at the

527
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:17.839
Rainbow with Lemmy and uh Ron Jeremy, it is true

528
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:23.839
talking about a pipemin there you go, I know, and

529
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:25.119
I want to know too.

530
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:26.480
Like, so.

531
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:31.720
I heard that Alice Cooper is like one of the

532
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:36.799
greatest to work with, you know, like like and and

533
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:40.319
encourages stuff like you're doing now, doing your own thing,

534
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:46.920
doing your own creativity, having your own projects. So and

535
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.039
I don't think everybody's like that. In fact, I know

536
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:52.480
not everybody's like that. So how cool is he that?

537
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:56.920
Being secure in your own ego and in your own legacy.

538
00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:59.279
For Alice, he really is. He's the best boss I

539
00:27:59.359 --> 00:27:59.839
ever had.

540
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.359
And trust me, I've worked a lot of fast food restaurants,

541
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.880
so I figure he is the best as far as

542
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:12.279
letting you shine because of that sort of being relaxed

543
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:17.759
in his own legacy and stardom and household name status.

544
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.839
When you play guitar solo, he wants you up in

545
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:22.559
front and center.

546
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:24.519
He doesn't want you sitting in the back, sort of

547
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:26.799
you know, pulling a Jeff Beck and putting your putting

548
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:28.599
your back to the audience or anything like that.

549
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:32.039
No, he wants you boom up in the center in

550
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:32.799
the spotlight.

551
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.880
And I really appreciate that about him because he's always

552
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:39.400
supported us, everybody that's.

553
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:42.519
In the band, with our solo projects. And you know what,

554
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:44.279
if I can just get him to listen to the

555
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:45.960
new single, I think he'll really like it.

556
00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:50.359
There you go, well, let's do that. And you know

557
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:54.240
it is It's funny because it's true, because like I'm

558
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:58.440
friends with Nita, and I just thought it was very cool.

559
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:00.640
You know, she went and did something else for a

560
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.640
little while, but then she was just welcomed back with

561
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:06.039
open arms. When she realized it was time to come

562
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:07.920
back to Alice, she did her.

563
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:09.880
Version of tal Bachman of what I did.

564
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:13.839
If anyone knows that name, if you know, you know,

565
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:17.200
but I was in a band between the during the

566
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:20.920
Alish years, between tours and stuff. It was an artist

567
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:23.400
called tal Bachman, and there was you might not know

568
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:26.400
the name, but you know, obviously there's big pedigree in that.

569
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.599
Randy Bachman was the father. It's Buckman Turner Overdrive. It

570
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.519
was his kid, his son, and his son wrote a

571
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:36.880
bunch of great songs tal did, and I was part

572
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:39.920
of that album and part of this song called She's

573
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:42.880
So High. So next time you're writing in an elevator,

574
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:45.119
you're at a pizza hut and you hear's some muzak,

575
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.519
or you're on your peloton, you'll probably hear that song

576
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:49.720
come up once or twice.

577
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.200
But that's my guitars and my guitar solo.

578
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:53.279
But nice.

579
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:57.559
That being said, that did not pan out into the

580
00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:59.960
world of getting up into the front of the stage

581
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.599
and being able to selo your ass off. So when

582
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:06.640
I realized that that was sort of the writing on

583
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:09.759
the wall, I'm very happy that Alice did ask me

584
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:14.079
back and we were able to get back on stage

585
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:16.599
together and rock as a unit as we have for

586
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:17.599
the last God.

587
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:19.839
What did I get back in the band? I was

588
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:21.880
in it from ninety six to two thousand and six,

589
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.039
took a small break, moved to.

590
00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:27.920
Sweden, did some gigs in Sweden, few bands in Sweden,

591
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:30.640
did my own stuff in Sweden as well. But then

592
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:34.160
back in twenty twelve, got asked back and we've been

593
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:37.160
touring every year since then, so on and off since

594
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:38.680
nineteen ninety six, and.

595
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:42.160
There's definitely chemistry there, Like I've seen you guys quite

596
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:45.519
a few times at the wimmer festivals, and like there's

597
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.039
such you just see it on stage, like you can tell.

598
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:51.880
You can tell when there's chemistry or if people are

599
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:55.119
just going through the motions, and you know, like you

600
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:59.319
can also tell that Alice makes it like a family,

601
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:03.359
a post to you know, this is my band, like

602
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:06.039
a lot of bands will do so.

603
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:10.440
And I believe that cohesiveness.

604
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.519
Is basically reciprocal with the audience because the audience becomes

605
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:17.960
the family then as well, because we see so many

606
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:20.640
of the same places. You know, you talk about Grateful

607
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:23.920
Dead and how they travel and they sort of follow

608
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:26.799
the band along caravan. We have our own little Alice

609
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.720
Cooper Sick Things caravans that come out in certain sections

610
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.119
of the country and they'll just be with us for

611
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:35.240
like one or two weeks and they'll go to all

612
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:40.440
the shows. And we're very thankful for it because of

613
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:44.519
that sort of relationship that we have with the hardcorese

614
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:49.039
and then with every show, hopefully we're still doing it.

615
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:51.559
I will talk to people that will say, you know what,

616
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:53.880
this is my first Alice Cooper show, but I'm coming back.

617
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:56.000
So that's the best thing to hear is when when

618
00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:58.559
you know you've been doing this for as long as

619
00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:01.240
we've been doing it, and you deal get people that say,

620
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:02.920
this is my first Alice Cooper show.

621
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:03.680
Now I'm a fan.

622
00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:05.359
I'm like, I love it all.

623
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:06.440
Right, what took you so long?

624
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:11.079
But right, but that is amazing, And so what was

625
00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:14.599
it for you? What was that first moment, way back,

626
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:19.039
way way way back when you decided playing guitar and

627
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:21.920
being part of music was just a part of you.

628
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:28.279
I think the pretty much the opening first few bars

629
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:33.559
of music van Halen won, right because when van Halen

630
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:36.319
and again, I grew up in the Bay Area, so

631
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:37.880
I was very lucky to be.

632
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:43.319
Born and raised by that much of a spectrum of music.

633
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:48.160
There's there was funk, there was disco, there was punk rock,

634
00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:52.599
there was metal, there was classic rock. And I grew

635
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.359
up in a very cool time, you know, going to

636
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:57.759
concerts in the late seventies. One of my first concerts

637
00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:00.599
I ever went to was Jackson five at Oakland Colisseum.

638
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:01.240
Wow.

639
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:04.680
Then my second concert was right across the street at

640
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.839
the at the that was the Oakland Arena Jackson five,

641
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:10.240
And then across the street was the Oakland Colisseum. I

642
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:15.039
went to Day on the Green with Journey and Black

643
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:18.720
Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio, the late Great Ronnie James

644
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:23.319
Dios on lead vocals and Journey headlining the gig.

645
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:26.319
It was, I mean like I was very lucky.

646
00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:31.279
But then those guitar heroes that came out, man Edward

647
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:34.720
van Halen, he just kind of made you listen and go,

648
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:37.200
how is that done right?

649
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:39.799
And how can I do it? How can I catch

650
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:40.319
it on that?

651
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:43.440
Like one of the first songs I ever learned on

652
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:48.319
guitar was ain't talking about love and Heaven and Hell.

653
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:51.920
My first three songs were not Smoke on the Water.

654
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:56.400
They were Ain't talking about love, Heaven and Hell. And

655
00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:59.599
twenty five or sixty four by Chicago.

656
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:02.880
Oh wow, that's a good one. Well became that Green

657
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:03.400
Day song.

658
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:04.839
I love it right then.

659
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:09.039
But but then it was like my first was Smoke

660
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:11.440
on the Water, just like everybody else. I'm one of

661
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:15.039
you smoking. But I think the second one was your Mama,

662
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:19.079
Don't Dance, Daddy, Don't rock and Roll? Not the Poison version, No, no,

663
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.599
it was Kenny version Loggins of Messina.

664
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:26.119
And then I think my third might have been it's

665
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:29.239
a toss up between Jump and Jack Flash by The Stones,

666
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:31.280
or it was do you Feel Like We Do?

667
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:35.039
By Peter Frampton, who again another one of my guitar heroes.

668
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:38.960
That again, I would stare at that album, and I

669
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:41.760
know that that album came out before Van Halen, so

670
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:43.039
I might have to.

671
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:48.239
Read I might have to switch my story around a.

672
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:49.800
Little bit, but never let the truth get in the

673
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:51.320
way of a good story, so we'll stick with Van

674
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:55.559
Halen Comes Alive, Come on man, that that was a

675
00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:56.639
game changer as well.

676
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:00.639
So speaking of Van Hale and I'll tell you, just

677
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:03.800
because it's funny, my favorite, I think one of my

678
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:08.280
favorite memories and of thousands and thousands of shows in

679
00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:12.480
my lifetime, was nineteen eighty three the US Festival in

680
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:18.079
sam Bernardino. Van Hallen was headlining heavy Metal Day and

681
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.400
there they did start Ain't talking about love. There's three

682
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:26.920
hundred thousand people there, and and he's looking over at

683
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:30.599
Dave because he ain't singing, and then Dave just goes

684
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:34.639
into the mic and he goes, I fucking forgot the words,

685
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:37.840
and the whole place roared like that was the best

686
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:41.840
thing that ever happened, except one dude who heckled him,

687
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:44.400
and he turned to that dude and he's like, I

688
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:50.519
will fuck your girlfriend. And like, I'm just thinking, that's

689
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:56.639
live music. Like people talk about backing tracks and stuff

690
00:35:56.719 --> 00:36:00.880
like that. That was so live music right there, because like,

691
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:04.599
you're a good front man if you can overcome forgetting

692
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:06.639
the words by doing shit like that.

693
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:09.639
And I love the fact that he probably said that

694
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:13.400
line in every town and every like concert.

695
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:17.239
But you know what, for you, for me one that

696
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:18.280
was the one that did.

697
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:20.159
And for me it was the same thing at the

698
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:22.199
Cow Palace when he said it to some guy and

699
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:26.480
at the Cow Palace and everything exactly. Never let the

700
00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:28.480
truth get in the way of a good story, because

701
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:32.760
that guy deserved it. Yeah, I think I think at

702
00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:35.480
the Cow Palace, somebody threw an orange up on stage.

703
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:38.880
That's what that was. The thing war jet me up

704
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:39.280
on day.

705
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:43.400
That's okay, pal because after the show, I'm gonna fuck

706
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:44.719
your girlfriend.

707
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:48.000
And so we all have that David Lee Roth moment.

708
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:52.239
It's true though, you know, like you go and it's

709
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:54.440
the first time for you, so you think this is like,

710
00:36:54.920 --> 00:37:00.280
oh my god, I'm at this special thing that never happens. Well,

711
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:00.840
you're a.

712
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:03.960
I almost didn't last that show at the Cowpouas because

713
00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:06.679
that was on the Diver Down tour and I was,

714
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.679
you know, pretty young up in front, pushed up in front,

715
00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:12.760
and I wasn't tall at all.

716
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:15.960
I'm still not, but my girlfriend at the time was

717
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.360
even smaller, and all of a sudden, the show starts

718
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:20.719
and she goes under and.

719
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:23.440
I go, what the hell, where is everybody? And then

720
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:26.000
I get pushed in this thing. And we were lucky

721
00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:27.760
to make it out of that one because that was

722
00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:31.760
way before GA. That was way before GA got banned.

723
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:32.199
In general.

724
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:34.639
Admission was just the way you did it at concerts.

725
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:40.880
So yeah, I love Van Halen's stories. But the US Festival,

726
00:37:41.239 --> 00:37:44.599
I think Motley Crue I think they opened it. Didn't

727
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:45.519
they open Metal.

728
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:49.039
Day on that one? I know, I think Quiet Riot

729
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:51.519
opened it because you had Quiet Riot, you had Crew,

730
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:54.119
you had Ozzie, you had Priest, you had Triumph, you

731
00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:56.760
had Van Halen. I'm trying to think who else.

732
00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:57.239
Was that day.

733
00:37:57.679 --> 00:38:00.800
It sounds like a twenty twenty five tour, I know, right,

734
00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:06.760
Cad Breeze uh and it you know, what was a

735
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:07.519
trip about?

736
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:09.840
I think it was that year that that happened that

737
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:13.599
I saw Ozzie with three separate guitarists in one year,

738
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:22.079
because because I saw Randy New Year's Eve right before

739
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:26.360
he died, then you saw Jake. Well, actually, I also

740
00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:32.079
saw Pat Travers Pat Travers for a short period after

741
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.199
Randy played, and I caught one of the shows.

742
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:39.039
Pat Travers taught me a great way of playing Schools Out.

743
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:40.880
We were we did a we did a show with

744
00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:44.440
him years ago, and we asked him to come up

745
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:47.760
on stage for Schools Out. And everybody you know says

746
00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:50.159
they know schools Out, and then when it comes right

747
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.800
down to jamming it, it's a little triggier than than

748
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:57.800
most people think. But Pat Travers actually knew it better

749
00:38:57.840 --> 00:38:58.719
than I think I did.

750
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:03.679
And he played part in the No Mo fanzas No

751
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:04.559
Mo Books.

752
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:08.320
He played that part and he literally taught me a

753
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:10.679
new way of playing it that I play today. So

754
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:15.119
I never got to thank Pat for I haven't seen

755
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:18.079
him since that gig, And thank you Pat for teaching

756
00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:21.360
me a very new cool way to play Schools Out.

757
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:23.000
And I do it today.

758
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:25.920
See that's way cool. I love hearing stuff like that.

759
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:30.400
I don't talk about that because you know, I don't know.

760
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:32.360
It's not that Pat Travers and I are in a

761
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:34.480
huge feud or anything like that. I just never have

762
00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:37.480
a chance to tell that story when all my brain

763
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:41.599
memory function is working and I'm on the phone.

764
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:42.360
With the pipe man, and.

765
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:46.360
There it comes. There, it is.

766
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:49.079
It's what you bring out in people, pipe man, that's

767
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:51.000
what you do. You bring out good memories.

768
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:54.400
That's the way it should be too. And how about

769
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:57.360
this is it? This is a recent good memory probably

770
00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:00.639
for you that you guess it on rock It's Rock

771
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:01.920
and Roll Symphony.

772
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:05.679
Good segue. Yeah, absolutely, that was cool. That was a

773
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:06.599
very cool memory.

774
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:10.880
I got hats off to Rocky and hats off to

775
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:13.519
Paul Hunger for setting it all up and promoting it

776
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:17.280
and getting people into the studio because they had never

777
00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:19.159
done a live studio audience.

778
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:21.119
And it was a night off that we were having

779
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:24.239
on tour on this last Alice.

780
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:30.199
Cooper Judas Priest tour, and ironically enough or I don't

781
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:33.800
know if it's even ironically, but I had a gig

782
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:37.760
to do with the Rock and Roll Symphony. The bands

783
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:40.480
Judas Priest and Alis were having a band dinner that

784
00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:43.079
night and I had to miss it.

785
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:45.400
But in retrospect.

786
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:48.400
It was the best missed band dinner I ever had

787
00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:51.519
because we had such a good time filming this and

788
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:55.280
doing it, and it hopefully will turn into something that

789
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:59.159
we're able to do in more places, in more.

790
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:02.960
Cities and towns when there are nights off on tour.

791
00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:07.519
I love going coming in live studio audience, they ask questions,

792
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:11.039
I play some songs acoustically. I get asked good questions

793
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:13.840
by the host, which is rocky, and then Paul.

794
00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:17.159
Lunger's there, you know, waving the flag, waving his blinder

795
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:20.760
like that. So it was a good time had by all.

796
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:22.400
I think, So go check it out. I think it's

797
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:24.800
a maybe you can put the links in somewhere.

798
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:27.360
Yeah, I'll put I'll put the links in the description

799
00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:30.360
for the podcast afterwards, for sure, because I checked it

800
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:32.880
out and I thought it was pretty cool, for sure,

801
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:36.199
and everybody has to check it out. So is there

802
00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:38.719
anything else you got going on in twenty twenty six

803
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:40.760
that you want the listeners to know about.

804
00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:43.440
I want them to check out all the new music

805
00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:46.039
that I have out. I put out a single earlier

806
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:50.239
called Better than You, and then we just released this

807
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:53.599
one called Fight Another Day, and it's sort of.

808
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:55.199
It's it goes.

809
00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:57.360
They go hand in hand together, So go check them

00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:05.320
going to continue to come out all throughout the year,

813
00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:08.880
and we've got another year of Alice touring all in

814
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:11.840
the works. We're excited about not one but two shows.

815
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:15.840
There's a Chris Angel Alice Cooper show that's happening in Vegas.

816
00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:17.320
Oh, that's gonna be cool.

817
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:20.280
It combines illusions in rock and roll, which is one

818
00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.719
of the first times I think it's happened. And then

819
00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:28.320
we have the Alice Cooper Alice's Attic brand new set

820
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:31.480
list and set pieces as well, So that's something to

821
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:34.480
go check out. And then, you know, if you want

822
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:38.400
to get dive in and become more inner circle, I

823
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:42.119
do this thing every year called Roxy's All Out Excess

824
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:46.639
Pass and it's led basically like having a backstage pass

825
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:50.360
to everything that goes on, you know, before the show,

826
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:53.320
after the show, backstage.

827
00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:57.559
Post on the bus, getting.

828
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:01.239
Dressed the days off, so I kind of give everybody

829
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:02.559
a sort of a glimpse into.

830
00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:06.679
What Wife on the Road is about. And again Ryan

831
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:09.320
Roxy dot com, you go check out all excess past,

832
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:11.280

833

and best of luck with everything you're doing.

836
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:20.079
Pipe.

837
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:24.800

us here too, because man, those are definitely show. You

841
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:38.119
don't even have to like the music to love the show.

842
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:41.039
I happen to love the music, but it's just such

843
00:43:41.079 --> 00:43:41.679
a great show.

844
00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:44.679
There's so much to love about the music because Alice

845
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:49.599
is put together some really amazing bands over the years

846
00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:53.880
with its original ogs, you know, with you know, Glenn

847
00:43:53.960 --> 00:43:55.719
and Michael and and Dennis and.

848
00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:01.440
That that musicality of it is. They're just great and

849
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:03.840
they're the reason why we're still able to tour.

850
00:44:03.719 --> 00:44:07.440
Today, that whole original band, Yeah, because we get to

851
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:12.000
we get to play those hits and those iconic legacy hits,

852
00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:15.920
and then all the songs that Steve Hunter and Dick

853
00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:17.800
Wagner were part of, and.

854
00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:21.679
Then all the Caine Roberts era stuff. We touch on

855
00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:23.920
all of it throughout the show, there's a lot of

856
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:28.039
It doesn't matter if your seventies, eighties, nineties, aughts, or

857
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:32.039
even up until this last album that we did with

858
00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:36.480
the band called Road, It doesn't matter whatever era you're into.

859
00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:39.800
Alice, I think you're going to enjoy the show absolutely well.
