first punk band to be in the Rock and Roll

35
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.919
Hall of Fame. Yeah, and then winning a Grammy. We

36
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:37.879
never thought we would win anything?

37
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:38.759
Is that wild?

38
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.719
Right? Wild? And the first record that I recorded with

39
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.240
Johnny Joey, indeed, he was I Want to Be Sedated

40
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.719
and that just became double platinum, and who.

41
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.520
Knew, Like who could imagine?

42
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:50.759
Right?

43
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.280
I haven't knew that, you know, you know, I know

44
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.280
from just watching some of the documentaries and stuff, like

45
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.319
you guys were auditioning or at Sea be GB's and

46
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.599
it was like, I don't think you thought you would

47
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:05.879
ever get it in a million years. And then it

48
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.360
was like, okay, you're playing.

49
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.800
Yeah, Tommy asked me to join the group along with Deity.

50
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.759
He wanted to produce. I just got over for tour

51
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.319
with the Clash with Richard Helnavodoids and the Deedy and

52
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:22.319
Johnny approached me at CBGB's at the Bar and they

53
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.319
gave me a tape of the live show and the

54
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.560
album that I was on Cold Road to ruin the

55
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.080
demo for him, and I had to do that in

56
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:31.639
two weeks.

57
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:32.319
Wow.

58
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.520
Yeah, that's how I did it, you know, and we

59
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:35.319
started touring.

60
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:40.759
How do you compare what music's like then to music today?

61
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.039
Well, it was a lot more original then, that's true.

62
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:45.960
The cup teach to his own.

63
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:46.639
Yeah.

64
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.960
You know, if you like blues, if you like jazz,

65
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.080
you like rap, you like hip hop, you like punk,

66
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.400
you like rock. Good you know, Destroite is for everybody.

67
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.080
This is my shout out to new bands. Just try

68
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:02.360
to formula, try to get some something that's original. Yeah,

69
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.599
because what I noticed, a lot of bands just follow

70
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.240
a formula and they end up sounding alike.

71
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.919
It's so funny you say that, because I talk about

72
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.759
that all the time now. Like you take the old

73
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.759
school bands, even if they were in the same genre,

74
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.839
they never sounded the same and I find that there

75
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.000
are a lot of new balands. I always say they

76
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.240
follow like an algebraic equation to create a song. And

77
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.639
I think what's good about today blending on genres? Like

78
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.879
when you have a band that has like four different

79
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.079
people and they're all into different genres. That's where we

80
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.680
get the original music today because there is no formula

81
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:44.560
for what they're doing. Well hopefully, yeah, exactly. So what

82
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.000
keeps you going all these years later?

83
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.560
Well, after Johnny, Joey and Dedie died and Tommy, well

84
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.639
they died first, I took it upon myself to keep

85
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.560
the music alive. I feel that the song's too good

86
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.240
not to be played. And I travel the world. Yeah,

87
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.519
and I play these songs and I do thirty seven songs,

88
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.480
not today because the cell is the short up, because

89
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:14.600
but that's what I like to do.

90
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.319
What's your favorite song to play?

91
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.879
Rock? Rom High School? Which I was in good movie,

92
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.560
nice funny movie. Yeah, and I want to be Sedated

93
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:26.120
and Blitz Creakbob.

94
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.519
Does it blow your mind? That was good to be

95
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.480
my next one after you mentioned it? How many bands

96
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.040
played that song during their set?

97
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:38.240
Well, we just did the Kentucky Festival. And what's their

98
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.600
names not. Some band was on after us from LA

99
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.360
and before then we did blitz Creabob my band. Then

100
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.680
after we got off the stage, towards the end of

101
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.639
their set, they did blitz Creakbob. So I was happy

102
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.279
because there was a homage and you know that they

103
00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:00.480
were thankful that you know that we existed, Yeah, and

104
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.279
that we were one of their influences. And what's the

105
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:05.199
other band.

106
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.600
Well, Zombie does it all the time.

107
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.439
Yeah, Dave Brows band's.

108
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:10.519
Oh yeah, food Fighters, Yeah.

109
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.560
They do blitz creabop. Yeah, so everywhere you go it

110
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.240
wants blitz creak bopping. I know, right, fine, it's fine.

111
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.399
You gotta love it, like cause I think there wouldn't

112
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.199
be punk music today if it weren't for you guys.

113
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.360
No, not not as we know.

114
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:30.759
It, right Exactly What was it that really connected you

115
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.079
to music before all of this.

116
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.439
Oh little boy listening to Jimmy Hendrix, the Beatles, the

117
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:45.839
Ooh for Kinks, the Girl Phil Spector girl groups, things

118
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:50.279
like that, you know, Hal Blaine, drama, Keith moon Well,

119
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.199
jazz dramas like Buddy Rich, Joe Morello from Dave Beck,

120
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.399
all these Tony Williams, all these guys affected me one

121
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.360
way or in the so yeah, yeah, you mixed that up.

122
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.560
And I think that's the difference too with bands today,

123
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.759
is like, so all the old school punk bands had

124
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:14.519
influence of a totally different genre because punk didn't exist.

125
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.639
So you did create something original because you saw that,

126
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.560
love that, but you wanted something different.

127
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.079
I wanted to be able to attempt to play like

128
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.800
those great jazz drummers. But eventually, of course I started

129
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:33.279
playing rock, and jazz is a lot harder. Yeah, and

130
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.800
I can play some jazz, but those guys Buddy Rich

131
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:42.439
and all those great plays really well, unbelievable. Oh yeah,

132
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:47.319
you know. So that's how I grew up, you know,

133
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.879
just drumming and listening to people who inspired me.

134
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.240
I love it, you know. And so how old were

135
00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:00.759
you when you first twelve? Wow? Nice? And did you

136
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.519
know at that beginning that this was what you were

137
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:04.199
going to do here?

138
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.759
Yes, this is what I wanted to do school. I

139
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:12.120
wasn't unimpressed about if if there were certain subjects I

140
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.360
did very well. I went to summer school three years

141
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:17.959
in a row, but I didn't have to go all

142
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.680
year round. But I knew I could pass the tests

143
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.759
because they were easy, right, So I passed the tests

144
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:30.680
in summer school, so on actuality, it took me six

145
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.360
months to graduate high school.

146
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.960
Wow, I love it because in high school.

147
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.840
As long as you pass the tests, that's all I matted.

148
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:44.360
I always looked at as like babysitting, not going, like

149
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.360
not going to school. They were just babysitting.

150
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.679
Yeah, it's just you know, they teacher the same old

151
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:57.159
typical stuff. You know that that wasn't necessary for me

152
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:01.120
to learn because I knew what I really wanted to do. Yeah,

153
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.759
so my teachers who are on the stereo.

154
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.279
There you go. I love it. And that's earn thing too.

155
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.200
I think the difference music like you and I growing

156
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.240
up when you buy an album, first of all, you

157
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.240
didn't hear what it sounded like first unless you went

158
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.480
to a live show and it was a whole experience,

159
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:19.679
like I think kids today are missing that.

160
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.399
Well, you know, I like the smell. When I opened

161
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.919
up the album, I like obviously like the band a lot.

162
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.639
I was so impressed what they did before that, so

163
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.759
I did buy the next album. Yeah, and the final

164
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:38.279
sounds better. It's warmer, and I missed the scratches on

165
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.159
all that stuff. Plus they look good. You could read

166
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:44.480
the liner notes. They had good artwork. Yep, you could

167
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:46.960
open up the sleeve and see it and who did

168
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.840
what and what did where with? You know what I mean?

169
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.000
Oh? Yeah, my first album I ever owned myself, not

170
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:55.799
the ones I stole from my brother, but the one

171
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.480
I owned for myself. I won at Seaside Heights on

172
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.240
the boardwalk up there were these four dudes on an

173
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.279
album that looked really cool and it was the original

174
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.679
Kiss album when it first came out, and I won

175
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:09.519
it at the boardwalk.

176
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.200
Yeah. My guitar player from my first band produced them.

177
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:13.679
Wow.

178
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.000

179
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:19.000
Wow, that's pretty cool. My band dust very cool. So

180
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.600
