And plus she had a bad brown night, so I said, I'm gonna make it up to you and give you a nice brown night. It's best I can. It's so funny the connections that we have because like you've been on Jimmy Starrs show on my station and Eileen Shapiro and I love both of them. Their trip. Jimmy's been on my station for like eighteen years. How's he doing all right? Oh, he's still great, Like that was during COVID. Right, do we do something maybe you home one week or do we do it after yeah, because I think. We've maybe before it might have been yeah, it might have been.

2:28 A little while ago, at least two years ago. Right, Yeah, it is pretty cool that after all these years, Like who have thought after all these years Anthrax would still be relevant and still be great, which they are. One thing I can say is it's always good quality, as well thought out, and we always bring it. It's always yeah. I mean, if. Anything, I would say that we're way better than we've ever been. Yeah, Well, all the different let's hope. So right. Yeah, I know. We just got off with a four week run UK and Europe and it was smoking. Man, it was great. Nice, it's always good. It's tight. And what else new do you have coming out? Well, we have nine or ten songs I forgot I lost count, but I got maybe two or three more to go and then.

3:11 We'll be done with the record. Nice, it's still working at you. I haven't finished it yet. Well, I'm sure it's gonna be amazing, I can tell you. And I told you I have something for you. So I brought something on the cruise. I've never brought to a festival. I haven't worn it since I'm like sixteen. My grandkid has worn it. Yeah, my original battle vest. Oh, it's funny. We were just talking. Somebody had some MTV thing out that I have the original Headbangers ball jean jacket. Right, he's yeah. And everybody's been asking me about these patches because they're like paper tallic. Yeah. And there's venom wow.

3:53 And there's blood from a savage great show at the country club in Recita where I knocked out my TV. Yeah. What I want you to do is I want to look at you, to look at all the bands on here, and who you would want to tour with? Not your own band obviously because Anthrax is on here? How about we do Metallica, Slayer, megadafter then Anthrax of the Big Four again? I we didn't do enough of those, right. Like everybody wants that? Yeah, I would hope. So maybe who knows? We did some shows with Slayer. Do we do two two festivals this summer. They didn't even have a patch yet when I started making this, So I did that what. You did by Marker? This here is felt?

4:33 Oh fell I. Always say it looks really good? Are those letters to iron them on? Yep? Yep? And then this is before they ever had an album. Wow, I was gonna say, what is that logo? Exactly? Logo is not even the same. No, that's like pre kill them all right? There they still fit you? No, I can put it on, but it doesn't camp. Not with a leather jacket. That's for the old jeans man. The waist is like fuck the way up. You can't even button. You can't even button? Right? How did I fit in? What happened? Did I really? Exactly? I grew ten feet? So yeah, Dark Angel Exodus, English Dogs exciter, possessed, possessed, possessed, that's possessed. What's the boy VODs on here? That's excited?

5:25 And then I think, who's thisa wait? Can you tell who this span is? Right there? You can tell? Okay, So is it upside down? I might not read that. I'm actually I'm drawing a blank. Or what she's drawing out the letters for him? Wow, that's not us, it is. That's weird looking. I know. Well, I didn't know how I draw your ship then, and. I don't know what this is, and that is I've to seven now. That was like remember when you would draw the highlighting? Too much of this shit going on or something else?

6:06 Right, it's good? Well you got me on that one? Hello? Oh man? Good shit? No, it's good. So how you like being on ship rock here? I was surprised last night by the way you fucking killed it. But I was waiting for. Journey tomorrow Friday. I do one. You're doing Journey on Friday? One song? So is that like the only non metal song? Because I heard Fridays like. Metals, Dreams by Van Hallen, nice, Rainbow in the Dark. Oh yeah, so those are good. That's killer. It's kind of random picks of stuff. There's so much to choose from. I know, so little time, it's so little people to pick from them. And you probably have fun with this castaway thing because you like playing all that other stuff.

6:49 And I could do multiple nights of this shit, right, Yeah, I have my own jukebox thing I do, and I got eight hundred songs. I could do so much, all these tracks of recorded over a couple of years, and I can do. Hours and hours of so much. That's cool. I would love to do that. When I hear I did Journey unplugged down one of them. We did just keyboards and myself and we did a whole Journey set, but it was unplugged, you know, right, And people loved it. They keep asking me, why don't you do that again? I said, I'd love to. First real concert I ever went to in my life first concert was beatle Mania at Madison Square Garden because I'm from New York. Sea Beatles Tribute. Yeah, well do you remember? It was way back like seventy eight, I think or something like that, and it was the whole Beatlemania tours. A lot of them.

7:38 Out there, some of them they'll do all the eras. Right change for all their Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think Tom our old manager had a band. He had a tribute bit Tom mart had a Yeah. I don't know what they were called. But the first real concert I went to, because I don't consider that real because it's a tribute, you know, was a Journey in nineteen seventy nine. The real band, the real band, right with lover lover Boy, Journey and lover Boy. Lover Boy's still around the road too, right. I would do a whole night a lover Boy. Honestly. There's some great songs. Oh, they were great, great. I've actually interviewed them that somebody about doing that. I think people would dig it. Yeah, little Brian Adams. In there or something nice. There's some really great songs, NonStop tunes, you know.

8:21 So who would you say is your if you could say it, your top five favorite bands that are not metal, not. Metal, I would say Journey, White Sneak, probably, Kansas, de Purple, Yes, Bad Company, Foreigner. Nice, Toto. I love all that because you. Know, I'm believing people out believe. You know, our generation, we didn't have everything else, so that's what we started off. It's funny you said yes, because I immediately went back to being a kid. And my brother was eleven years older. So I used to rifle rifle through his albums and he had Yes Frad Joel and still one of my favorite albums ever.

9:04 I would do a whole record if if people knew it. Oh my god, it's so good, it's so good. I saw him twice I took care of before. She wasn't ever into Yes. She she was nice, help to come on, neighbor. She was not quite digging it, but she got to go see us. Who's her favorites. That aren't metal? Well, you can include metal probably if you want one, maybe right. Yeah, Journey, how about a little Beach Boys? Yeah, Philly Idol, Nice Ada Man. I have a story about that, about what Adam Adam Man? Okay, you will switch a story South Good. Okay. So you know how back in the day, if you were a metal head, especially a thrash metal head, which I was, you couldn't like anything else, and especially new wave. Okay.

10:00 I was at my bro's house and he had Adam and the Ant's Kingsy Wild Fronts here. I found it. He had it hid him and I said to him, what the fuck? Is this to this day? That was one of my favorite albums real quick, yes. To tie in with you. So back in the eighties, I grew up in Kansas City, really conservative. And that was a bit of a misfit. So I thought I'd be a little different and liked Adam Att. And every thought I was really weird. Went to the adam Ant show with my friend Kim, and Adam pulled me up. On stage so I got to sit on the stage and then he threw his good his glove out to me, which I missed it. But II Leen Shapiro is a big ANIMNT fan and yes some of his stuff that she gave to me, And we're going to go see Adam Ant next time.

10:44 He comes nice that yeah, okay, yeah, very close with he Oh cool? Actually she is awesome. So you have to. Talk about Aniam at close out the story. I know, there you go. There it is and now they're giving us the tug goode. I could do this all day. There you go. Well we'll have to do it again. This would be like a podcast exactly. That's the kind of stuff I love, just chatting about anything and everything around. We'll do it again. Cool for sure, But Thank you for being here on ship Rock, Big Time Man both.
