And I'm super excited out this guest because one of

00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.920
my favorite bands. And man, I can't believe it's been

12
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:12.920
fifty freaking years. Let's welcome to the show. John Galder

13
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.640
from Raving hell Sair.

14
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:16.560
Good to be here.

15
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.079
Oh, man, Like, where does it feel like when you

16
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.239
wake up in the morning and realize you've been doing

17
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.599
this for fifty years?

18
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.200
Like, that's kind of weird, right.

19
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.599
It's very weird because it's, uh, you know, it seems

20
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:35.799
like yesterday that, you know, we were sitting in our

21
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:40.799
bedroom trying to fight over an acoustic guitar, and then

22
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.359
you know, my brother and our friend down the street

23
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.079
came up and said, hey, we're going to form a

24
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.319
band and you can play bass. I'm like, oh, okay,

25
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.439
let's go. And we had no idea what we were

26
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:58.959
letting ourselves in for, because, like I realized like he

27
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.040
in the States, like kids about our age. At the time,

28
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.280
there was a bond on every corner, you know. Ever

29
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.599
since the Beatles broke, everyone in America wanted to be

30
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.919
in a bond. So yeah, and it continued, and that

31
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:18.080
wasn't where we were. There was nobody around. No one

32
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.639
in our area we knew was in a band. I mean,

33
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.000
there was some people that ended up doing it, but

34
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.919
we didn't know who they were. We weren't hanging out,

35
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.840
they weren't playing shows or anything like that. So we

36
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.560
learned it all the hard way. There wasn't anyone on

37
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.919
our level to kind of copy or steal ideas from.

38
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.759
We had to steal them all from the big boys,

39
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:40.960
you know.

40
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.960
Yeah, and it is so true as somebody that has

41
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.400
been listening to you since way back then, you know,

42
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.919
it was a very different world of music like right

43
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.879
now there. You know, there's the benefits of the fact

44
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:00.520
that you know, anybody can pretty much put out music,

45
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.280
but then there's also the disadvantages because then there's just

46
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:08.039
a whole sea of I think a lot of same

47
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.039
type of music because everybody's just trying to put this

48
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:17.039
algebraic equation to music. Whereas bands like you guys were

49
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:21.400
innovators that like, even within the same genre, all the

50
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.159
bands were so distinctly different.

51
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.800
You've nailed it. That was the thing about especially the

52
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.960
new wave of British heavy metal, which was an era,

53
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.680
not a genre, not a sound. It was a graving

54
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.879
but all those bonds sounded totally different. They all hot,

55
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.199
passion and energy. But other than not, you know, we

56
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.280
didn't sound like Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden didn't sound like

57
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.080
Deaf Leppards. They didn't sound like Sampson, they didn't sound

58
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.879
like White Spirit or Venom or you know, diamond Head.

59
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.759
They all sounded different, which was cool, which is great.

60
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:05.000
I thought it was great myself because it's like, I

61
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.879
just think we need these different vibes and feelings that

62
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.319
we get from different types of music, from different bands,

63
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:20.120
from different artists, different musicians, you know, And I don't

64
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.160
want to listen to the same song over and over.

65
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.279
No, you don't want to live in a world where

66
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.759
everything's blue and you like, I'm going to eat their

67
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.240
pasta every day for the rest of my life. It's like,

68
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.439
you know, moderation, there's a spectrum, check it out.

69
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.879
It's just absolutely, you know, absolutely.

70
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.800
We shocked in everything when we were kids, and I

71
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.040
still try to. I mean, what have I got floating

72
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.519
the round here? What am I listening? Do Almond Brothers?

73
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:52.560
Nice?

74
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:56.000
I have a listen to Allmond Brothers and really, so

75
00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:02.959
this is cool. I'm checking this out. Freaking you too, Hendrix.

76
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.519
They redid the New Queen one.

77
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:09.160
I see.

78
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.360
I love that you're doing this right now because that

79
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.680
is how we grew up with all these different varieties

80
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:22.800
of music that we were into, and you know, it

81
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.319
shapes who you are, and it shape as you as

82
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.360
an artist. Then you give me unique because you're not

83
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.399
You're not doing the same as everybody else. There's like

84
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:37.639
influences from all different walks of life and blending genres.

85
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:41.839
Uh yeah, you know, preach brother, you're saying the way

86
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.759
it is because it's it's like having a vocabulary, you know.

87
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:50.720
I see, even to this day, you'll have opening bonds

88
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.079
and it's like, oh yeah, so they've been listening to

89
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.040
Rain and Blood for the last twenty years and nothing else.

90
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:08.040
It's like Slayer already did it, you know, right, can't you? So?

91
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.399
What was well?

92
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.879
You think was the first album that ever really made

93
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:21.120
you feel like? Man, this is my passion music.

94
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:26.879
Slay Alive, nice album Overboard, It's still one of the

95
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:33.959
greatest albums of all time. Absolutely May The first band

96
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.480
we ever saw and the opening band for that gig

97
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:42.600
was the sensational Alex Harvey Bond, who were mind blowing

98
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.480
and after seeing those two, we were ruined for life.

99
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.360
I love it. I love it so yeah.

100
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.040
For me, I was at I lived in New Jersey

101
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.959
and I was at the Jersey Shore at the boardwalk

102
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:05.040
playing some Carnie game and I I saw this Carnee

103
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.800
game where you could win an album, and there's this

104
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.639
album up there that I'm like, Oh, those dudes look cool,

105
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.720
and so I played the game and I did win it.

106
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.560
And it was Kisses first album when it first came out,

107
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:25.759
very cool, and I was ruined after that, you know, yeah, same.

108
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.800
Thing I mean those Yeah, those guys will tell you.

109
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.279
There's so many interviews for Gene Simmons goes if it

110
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.560
wasn't for Slade, so there wouldn't be a kiss because

111
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.680
you know, they took that concept and ran with it

112
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.639
and went somewhere else with it. But absolutely, you know,

113
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.839
we bombs, lots of hooks, big guitar riffs.

114
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.959
Yeah, of course, you know you have influences, but you

115
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.279
don't need to be like your influences. You just evolved

116
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:57.639
from those influences.

117
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.079
Yeah, like you see you pull from that. I mean,

118
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.279
we religiously went to see every concept we could. So

119
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:10.759
we saw Slayed and Alex Harvey. I think the next

120
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.920
one we went to see was Status Quo, who were

121
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.560
like one of the best live bands you would ever see.

122
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:23.720
Just ridiculous. Imagine two thousand people headbind crazy.

123
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:31.399
Oh my god, Budgie, Oh yeah, I have a Budgy

124
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.120
album right in front of us.

125
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.120
First song bread Fine, place went nuts. It's a seated hall.

126
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.600
Everyone just ran to the front. It's crazy. And then

127
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.519
you know, I camped out in the snow for tickets

128
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:54.279
for Richie Blackmore's Rainbow First tour. Yes, uh, you knows.

129
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.720
Nowadays don't know what it's like to camp out to

130
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.000
wait for online for tickets.

131
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.879
No, they're comping out in the living room on the laptop,

132
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.159
hoping to you know, not get too badly ripped off.

133
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:08.279
And we were lucky where we were because you know,

134
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.799
yeah there was club shows and Jersey, but I mean

135
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.080
a lot of your shows, you you were going to

136
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.120
the garden or you were going to the meadowlands and

137
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:20.240
it's you know, it's okay, but you're still kind of

138
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.639
need your binoculars to see what's going on. And we

139
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.679
were playing what would be the equivalent maybe the Capital Theater.

140
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:30.919
That's where all the bands played, the Newcastle City Hall,

141
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.759
two thousand capacity with a balcony, not a bad seat

142
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:39.799
in the house, right. So that was our education seeing

143
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.840
these bands coming in and watching the opening bards and saying,

144
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.440
you know, they got a tough road here. How do

145
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:50.960
they handle it? Do they win the audience over? And

146
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.080
some of them did and a lot of them didn't.

147
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:57.320
And you would say, well, they suck because they're not

148
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:01.720
connecting with the audience. They're not a bad bond, but

149
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.320
they're not reaching out. They've got no showmanship, and you

150
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:06.840
know you would figure it out.

151
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.120
Connecting is the keyword right there, because Okay, So in

152
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.039
nineteen eighty my dad moved me from New Jersey to

153
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:18.840
la and I went to my first club show ever

154
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:23.879
and that ruined me too because it was like I said,

155
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.919
I'm never going to a real concert ever again. Because

156
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:32.120
everything you were talking about, that intimacy, the connection, and

157
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:35.600
so it was at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip, right,

158
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.080
and it was Motley Crue before they even had an album.

159
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:40.240
Oh brilliant.

160
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:41.919
Yeah, And so.

161
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.879
They weren't glam they were more like horror punk and

162
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.360
they were trying to set the Roxy on fire to

163
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:48.360
bring Satan in.

164
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.639
And I was I was, like, I think thirty or

165
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:57.399
fourteen years old. I'm like, oh my god, this is amazing.

166
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.720
You were there at the right time time. We were never.

167
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.919
We were never on the strip. We played when whether

168
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.960
we came. We played at the country Club out in Reseda.

169
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:13.799
And I saw you guys at the country club in Reseda.

170
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:14.759
There you go.

171
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:19.639
I I even, uh, I think, I think I saw

172
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:23.799
a show with you and Metallica Club in LA because

173
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.200
I went to like Metallica's first shows ever and Slayers

174
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:27.759
would be.

175
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.360
That would have been the country club. And then I

176
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.600
think we did it again with m FROs. I think

177
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:35.879
hereafter yeah.

178
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.399
Yeah, so I'm like kind of famous at the country club.

179
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.279
Because I was at a Savage Grace show and I

180
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:45.919
ended the show by doing a stage dive. I was

181
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.639
full squad Swan in the air crowd moved, I hit

182
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.159
tea person to the floor and knocked out all my teeth.

183
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.639
Oh Jesus Christ not recommended.

184
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.840
Yeah, I don't do that anymore. I'll still I'll go,

185
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:02.480
and I like being in control. I don't like other

186
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:07.200
people being in control anymore. No crowd surfing, no stage diving.

187
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.320
But I'll go on the pick because then I'm in control.

188
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.559
My brother did that once in Germany. We were on

189
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.279
a opening for Running Wild and there was some guys

190
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.159
flipping them off or something, so he just put his

191
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:25.000
guitar down and dived on top of them. I love it,

192
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.000
and U s brawled out while they were all trying

193
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:29.759
to find him and start a fight. And they were

194
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:30.639
all fighting each other.

195
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:37.639
Oh my god, that's funny. Ah, good time. So what's

196
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.320
it like fifty years later to write music? I asked

197
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.720
that of all artists, I've been doing that long because

198
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.759
I just think to myself, Wow, I'm just in awe

199
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:51.720
of you to be able to still have more songs

200
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.200
in your head to get out there.

201
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:57.919
You wouldn't believe this, but literally one minute before I

202
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.600
clicked on here, I had that guitar. Oh that's a

203
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:05.840
good riff, let's record it. So I pick a guitar

204
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:10.200
up these days, and you know, thank you the muses However,

205
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.279
it's usually one of the first thing or the second

206
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.039
thing I played. I'll just put my hands on and go, oh,

207
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.240
where do we go from here, and come up with

208
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:21.720
an idea, record it and then you know, go back

209
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:25.320
to it later and if it's it still sounds good,

210
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.120
we'll go somewhere with it and we'll see where we

211
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:33.799
can take it. But it's mysterious, and as you've probably

212
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.039
heard from many people, you don't want to even get

213
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:38.000
into it. You don't want to ruin the more jo

214
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:43.159
it's just like right and so you know it's not

215
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:49.000
from you. You are like receiving from somewhere. God knows

216
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:54.240
where you're receiving, and it's that spectrum. You know, I'll

217
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.519
receive this and somebody else will receive something else. We

218
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.960
never get the same thing, and I don't question it.

219
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:03.759
I just go with it. And the more the MAREA.

220
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:07.919
See that's a true artist right there, because that is

221
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.440
what it's about, you know, to be being an artist.

222
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.600
I don't think it's people think it's the physical person

223
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:21.519
that that. It's like, it's just this vibe and energy

224
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:25.200
that comes into you and it doesn't come into everybody.

225
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.320
It's no certain you've got to you've got to be

226
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.000
tuned into that, and you know there is craft involved

227
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.440
following this where I say, oh, sure, I got a

228
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.559
great idea. Where do I go from there? And then

229
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:43.519
that's craft and experience. But you can't build a song

230
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.519
purely on craft and experience because then it turns into

231
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:51.360
Max Martin and you know, whoever's writing for Britney Spears

232
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.480
this week. But you know that kind of thing, which

233
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:57.759
is a it's a different talent, but to me, it's

234
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:02.240
like bricklaying. Yeah, you know, there's a patent and you

235
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.240
follow it and it works, and that's great, but that's

236
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:07.879
not trying to do anything new, you know.

237
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:10.480
Well, you know it's kind of like I think of

238
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:14.200
it this way too. Even you know, kudos to the

239
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:18.279
performing artists that you know they perform, But somebody else

240
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.759
writes a song, no hate at all. But I couldn't

241
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:27.320
imagine myself doing it, Like I couldn't imagine singing somebody

242
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:33.120
else's song or playing somebody else's song because it's not

243
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:38.120
my feelings. Like I think songs are very personal to

244
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:41.480
the artists and and I think us as the audience,

245
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.600
we need to see that. And if you're just doing

246
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:50.799
somebody else's feelings. People can tell they see it, and

247
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:51.840
they can tell.

248
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:56.279
You can put yourself into it. But I mean, you know,

249
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:01.480
a new one would doubt Roger Daltrey singing Pete Tonsend's songs. Yeah,

250
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:04.200
bring some Delight, you bring another, you know, and people

251
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.840
sing them and the different totally different when you hear

252
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.440
his demos to what they did. So you can do that.

253
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.600
But if it's a case of being the performing monkey,

254
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.639
you know, here's the song, sing it and there's nothing

255
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.679
coming in create it at all, that's a different story,

256
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:23.080
you know.

257
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.360
And I mean, would you say it's true when you're

258
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:31.720
a band, like speaking Zap Lennard the Beatles, that even

259
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:36.000
though one person's maybe writing it, you're collaborating. So you're

260
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.159
part of that process anyway. So you do have the

261
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:41.120
feeling because you have input into it.

262
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.279
Yeah, and once everyone puts on input into it, it

263
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:48.519
elevates it. It turns into something exactly beyond what you

264
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:49.320
started with.

265
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:54.679
Yeah, absolutely, So can't take away the fire. I mean,

266
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.559
it's it's as good or better than fifty years ago.

267
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:02.399
And I think that's the plan.

268
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.200
That's not only amazing, but that's it. It is the

269
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:09.880
way it should be right, like you perfect your craft

270
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:13.640
over the years, like I think of it. You know,

271
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.519
we talk about the old days and it's so great

272
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:20.319
now that we don't have the gatekeepers anymore and the

273
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:26.039
division and all that. Because I remember speaking of Metallic,

274
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.759
I remember when the Black album came out and me

275
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.079
and my friends were like posers were never listening to them.

276
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:35.799
Again, blah blah blah. You know, stupid young shit.

277
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.319
And you know the fact that the matter is is

278
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:41.839
then you have to think of the musician. The musician

279
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:44.519
wants to grow and wants to get better and learn

280
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.559
and perfect their craft. You know, they don't want to

281
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:50.480
stay essentially a garage band.

282
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:55.079
No. I mean that's when I get the question. You know,

283
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.279
you know when Metallic I rooted for you, did you

284
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.519
ever think we would turn and do the phenomenon they now,

285
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:05.440
I'm like, no, and they didn't. It was the band

286
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.599
that had been on that tour and then went with

287
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:12.920
other bands and learned and horned their songwriting chops and

288
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.920
did the second record. Yeah, that's the band that grew

289
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.839
into what they are now, not the first one. It's

290
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:24.599
not like baraging the first album, but that particular band

291
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:28.920
that would have never grown into what there was. There's

292
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:29.279
no way.

293
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.960
We'll think about any band that puts out those type

294
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:39.119
of original albums, that first album, they're usually teenagers when

295
00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:44.119
they wrote it. Yeah, and you know, so I think

296
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.240
of anybody in any craft, if you've been doing something

297
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:53.480
for twenty thirty fifty years, you know, you wouldn't do

298
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.079
it that long if you weren't getting much better after

299
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:56.839
all that time.

300
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.839
You would hope. So yeah, Yeah, there's probably examples to

301
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:06.559
the contrary, but you would hope, so, you know, so yeah,

302
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.000
you know, in our case, we basically laid down the

303
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.000
gauntlet on our first album, and it had quite a

304
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.599
variety of stuff, but there was a common thread where

305
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:20.759
it was all revved up and crazy, but there was,

306
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:23.759
you know, an acoustic thing. There was tyrant of the

307
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.200
airways with the quite a bit in the middle, so

308
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.240
there was stylistically places to go. We weren't, you know,

309
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:32.880
It wasn't like the Ramones first album or something where

310
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:37.799
it was there, you are, that's it right, And Metallica

311
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:39.680
could have done the same thing. They could have made

312
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.559
Kill Them Are Part two, three, four five, They didn't.

313
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:46.960
They they branched out and the second album kind of

314
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.519
did what our first album did where they had opportunity

315
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:53.400
to go places. I mean, and they actually said to

316
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:55.839
us on that tour, we love the All for One

317
00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:01.400
album because you guys have broadened what you do without

318
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:02.960
changing who you are.

319
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:05.680
See that's key right right there.

320
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:07.559
So yeah, that's smart, that's good.

321
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.000
Yeah, I get that, you know, because you do want

322
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.400
to be true yourself, but that doesn't me Being exactly

323
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:17.440
yourself is the way I can't think of it. It's

324
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:20.839
like you become an additional part of you.

325
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:26.559
Yeah, you can't, you know. I mean, we will let

326
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:29.119
up the golden path at one point, you know, with

327
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.880
the Practice Back album where it was like you know,

328
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.000
do X and we will give you why And all

329
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.759
they did is give us grief. And we sat and

330
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.240
had a big meeting, I remember, because they weren't going

331
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.279
to give us money for a video Atlantic Records, and

332
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:51.680
it was like, why did they make so much of

333
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:54.680
a big deal about, you know, trying to be more

334
00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:58.680
commercial and we were like naive andly, okay, we just

335
00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:01.880
went no, no more. Okay, if I have to live

336
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:06.200
on cat food, well let's do an ep along the

337
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:08.960
lines of who we are, you know, what we think

338
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:11.519
we should be and make music for us.

339
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:14.079
That's that's the only way to do.

340
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.680
From then on, people were like, yeah, yeah, okay, we

341
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:24.400
get it. And that's you know, integrity and people. People

342
00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:27.839
can sense that and follow it and appreciate.

343
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:32.519
It, and that's to me, that's a true artist.

344
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.799
So how do people connect to you guys on social

345
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.079
media and the web? How they check out the new

346
00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:41.640
album and all your music and all your We're.

347
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:47.920
On there official raven as, the Facebook, on Instagram, I

348
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.839
believe the Ravenlunatics dot com, which you've reminded me. I

349
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.440
have to get them to update something, so we'll do that.

350
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:01.200
That's the web page. I'm on Facebook, John Gallagher as well.

351
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:05.160
So you know we's thro yes, slings and arrows at me.

352
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:09.680
I mean, I'm out there, ah, and it's it's you know,

353
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:12.519
the Internet is a two edged sword, but the good

354
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.000
parts of it are great. We have instant feedback with

355
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.359
our fans. We can show them stuff we can you know, ah,

356
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:23.759
do you have that connection, which is it's so cool.

357
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:27.640
And then on the other side you've got Spotify ripping

358
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:32.279
people off blind and then the great in music. I

359
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:35.759
hear background music and you know, you go to someone's

360
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:39.200
house and they've got the whatever the soft rock channel

361
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.359
on right, and it turns into spinal tap. You know.

362
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:45.680
We're such a big fan of you guys, well not

363
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.319
you guys, but the whole genre of rock and roll.

364
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:52.440
You know, so when you've got music on that's faceless

365
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.119
and you don't even know who the hell it is,

366
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.759
but what's that? Yeah, I want to pay attention to

367
00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:59.480
what I'm listening to, you know.

368
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:01.559
Oh, I talk about it all the time.

369
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:05.200
You know, back in the day, we sat with our

370
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:08.559
headphones on and we bought this album with our hard

371
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:12.160
earned money. That so we played it like ten million

372
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.440
times to get our money's worth, and we just dove

373
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:19.079
into it with all the artwork and the and the lyrics.

374
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.200
And you know, I was just saying the other day,

375
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:24.559
people include my own kids, asked like, how do you

376
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:28.039
know the lyrics to every single song that comes on?

377
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:32.079
I'm like, this is why. Because we sat with the

378
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:34.839
lyrics and we listened to it. We didn't go from

379
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:37.440
one track to another in every ten seconds.

380
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:40.519
You paid attention, and when there wasn't lyrics, you made

381
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:43.640
them up. I mean when we were when we were cats,

382
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:48.599
we heard blue wasstuck cult em two six two on

383
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.200
the radio on a hard rock show. That's a great tune.

384
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:54.960
A tip it, let's play it. So we would play

385
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:57.000
it and we didn't know the lyrics, and it was

386
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:03.680
just watch me down the ball, sugar and shit Rubber's

387
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.000
how rubbish because that's phonetically what it sounded like. You

388
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:10.880
got like maybe ten words out of fifteen or something,

389
00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:13.720
you know it was, and nobody.

390
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:16.519
Cared, right, no, nobody.

391
00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:18.680
You got the chorus right, nobody cared.

392
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:21.200
Nobody does, that's for sure.

393
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:24.039
And they were probably spread in the word like the

394
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:26.559
game and telephone that that's the lyrics.

395
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:29.839
That's how that's how. If the lyrics come up, it's.

396
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.400
But that's how music was. It was word of mouth,

397
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:35.799
or you went into the record store and saw an

398
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:38.920
album cover and went, oh, man, that looks cool.

399
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:41.759
That's exactly what I did.

400
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:45.480
Or or like in La they had Bam magazine and

401
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.359
you would see like pictures of the gigs coming up

402
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:50.200
and they're like, oh they look cool. You don't even

403
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:52.839
know what they sound like. It didn't matter, or like

404
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.680
it was funny. I love telling bands from back then

405
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:01.240
the story. So we we would go to this record

406
00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:04.599
store in the valley called OZ Records, and there was

407
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:08.240
a record clerk there that we got friendly with, and

408
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:11.920
he always advised us what albums to buy, like he'd

409
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:14.000
bring it out and stuff and and we would like

410
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:17.480
just whatever he said, oh yeah, because it was always good.

411
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.160
And that was Brian Slagel when he was starting Metal Blade,

412
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:26.680
who yeah, like except it was wild. I said to

413
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:29.000
him a few years ago. I was like, man, that

414
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:32.839
was like the most brilliant marketing ever, he goes. I

415
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:35.720
wasn't trying to market. That was just a record store clerk.

416
00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:39.799
It's just that it's exactly what Johnny Z was doing

417
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:41.440
on the East Coast exactly.

418
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:43.319
You go to hear this, You got to hear this,

419
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:47.359
you know, and the tape trading days and and all that.

420
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:47.880
You know.

421
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.000
I still have like a couple tapes that from that

422
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.079
time that you can't even tell what is even on it.

423
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:59.079
I just know what's on it because it was like

424
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:03.079
taped over like fifty times from all the people.

425
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:08.799
You wouldn't believe do I have it here? Is it hid? No?

426
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:17.160
I've been going through all this stuff. Oh yeah, you know, like,

427
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.960
what have we got here? We have Newcastle Mayfair nineteen

428
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:27.920
eighty three. We have Wrexham Festival. All these bootlegs and stuff. Wow,

429
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.920
just checking through stuff and this is from nineteen seventy five,

430
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:35.720
recorded in my mom and Dodg's front room.

431
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:36.920
Wow.

432
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.359
Me, Mark and Paul Bowden were taking terms on the drums.

433
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.519
This is like scary bard and very clear.

434
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:51.799
Oh my god, you know that is way cool, you know,

435
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.359
it's like I mean, there's so many things like that

436
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:59.119
from back then. I think that's why music was so creative,

437
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:01.039
because you have had to be creative.

438
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:02.640
You know, you made it.

439
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.599
It wasn't handed to you on a plate. We learned.

440
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.480
We had to learn by using our ears and watching.

441
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:16.640
And there wasn't the you know, the tablature or the

442
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:22.599
DVD instructional videos or YouTube or you know, and there

443
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:27.039
was none of that at all. You know, maybe when

444
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:30.319
VHS came out down it kind of started or you know,

445
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:34.039
you could see the song remains the same on videotape

446
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:38.200
or whatever page. But before then you had to watch

447
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:42.279
a band and use your ears and you got it wrong.

448
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:46.519
And when you got it wrong, it was still cool

449
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:50.160
and you're going, oh it's wrong, but I like this better,

450
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:54.319
or maybe it leads to me differently. And you know,

451
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:58.039
I suppose that when it's all spoonfed. I mean you'll

452
00:27:58.079 --> 00:28:00.720
see kids now that have been playing two years, three years,

453
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:06.240
they can play rings around me technically very unbelievable. But

454
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.599
is it original or.

455
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:09.359
Is the heart?

456
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:14.039
Yes? Some of them, yes, some of them, because there's

457
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:17.359
there's you know, some special kids who are just gifted

458
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.119
and you know, you give them a head start like

459
00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:22.599
that and they're often running and who knows what they'll

460
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:26.920
end up doing. But you know, by and large, if

461
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.720
it's just given to you by rout and you're not

462
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:31.920
adding anything.

463
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:35.240
To it, you know, well like look now AI, you

464
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:37.720
can write a song to a music video and everything

465
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:38.400
with AI.

466
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:42.799
And I'm like, no, no, well, all you need to

467
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:45.759
do now is your If someone was telling me they

468
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.240
were looking for stuff up on on the bar to

469
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:52.359
research for the for an interview, and he says, the

470
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:54.720
guy you know put it in and it's just half

471
00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:58.799
the stuff that was in there was wrong mhm. Or

472
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:02.839
believe that miss leading. It's just like you can't trust it.

473
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:06.400
And yeah, some people are going to use it as

474
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:09.559
a tool. I mean, especially for some of it, like lyrics.

475
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:12.359
It'll kick some stuff out and you lay they use

476
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:17.200
it as is or steal from it. But there's a

477
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:20.680
fine line there somewhere, you know. It's it's like the

478
00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:24.640
batting tip thing. It's like, nah, I don't go there.

479
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:25.559
I don't want that.

480
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:29.880
Yeah. So my research is.

481
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:34.759
Being in the car with my bro in the eighties

482
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:40.000
playing parts of your songs over and over again, sometimes

483
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:46.640
for the high pitched, unbelievable screams like we would be

484
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.079
so like enamored that we would we gotta listen to

485
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:51.559
that again.

486
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:57.960
Come on, no way, you know.

487
00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:00.720
Touch Wood, I've still got it and still do all

488
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:01.839
of it. I know.

489
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:03.839
That's that's why I bring it up.

490
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.839
This new album, you know, I'm listening to New Hour,

491
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:10.400
I'm like, how does he have the same voice?

492
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.720
Because then it is better it should be. I've been

493
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:19.640
practicing see that. That's a pretty good new album that

494
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:22.400
that ep can't take away the fire you put that

495
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:25.200
first track on Black and Blue. That will clean your clock,

496
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:28.799
that will not your head, your hair piece will fly

497
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:33.200
through the air. That's that's as vicious as anything we've

498
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:38.519
ever even dreamed of. And we're very lucky where a

499
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.160
legacy bond we've been around forever, we have all that history,

500
00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:45.759
but it's not who we are. We're a bond making

501
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:49.599
new music and continuing to do it and push the envelope.

502
00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:52.839
And that's exciting. That's cool, you know.

503
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:54.920
Oh, I'm totally excited about it.

504
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.079
And so is there anything else you want to share

505
00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:00.920
with the listeners that you have coming up live shows

506
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:02.440
and stuff like that that you are.

507
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:07.440
We're doing Hell's Heroes in Houston on March twentieth, which

508
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:10.640
is a cool festival, like a European one that they've

509
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:12.799
been the last couple of years. So we're happy to

510
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:16.640
be on that. We're going to be writing, writing right now.

511
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:20.039
As I said, Mike's building a new studio, so on

512
00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:23.839
SUTs ready, we'll be in doing that. European dates being

513
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:27.839
booked for September and hopefully the States say the right

514
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:29.720
before that or right afterwards.

515
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:30.799
Nice.

516
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:33.400
Well, I'm sure i'll be at one of those. Actually,

517
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:36.720
it's funny because I go on tour doing coverage at

518
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.440
music festivals all over the US, UK, Europe, and I

519
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:45.559
saw that Hell's Heroes festival. I'm like, hmm, I'm gonna

520
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.000
look into seeing maybe covering that one. And now that

521
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.319
you said what you did, now I'm like totally convinced,

522
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:53.880
you know, because you never know if you.

523
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:56.759
Never know, but if it's not like one of these,

524
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:00.279
you know when you see all these horrible nighteties, is

525
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:04.720
you know, fake metal bounds planning. This is like Headbangers

526
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:08.240
open air or it's like keep it True or one

527
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:10.079
of those. It's it's uh, you know.

528
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:13.759
Well, the minute you said like Europe, yeah, the main

529
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:16.519
Like when you said like a European festival, I'm like, oh,

530
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:18.599
then it's gonna be a good festival and.

531
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:19.559
I'm gonna have to check it out.

532
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:20.440
Absolutely. Yeah.

533
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:25.799
Well I'm totally stoked about this new music. Fiftieth Adversary.

534
00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:29.039
Everybody's got to check out the new album, check out

00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:31.480

It's limited edition, one thousand copies, all are signed. I

537
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:41.279

00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:45.119
passed them on the mark. And the actual release date

539
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:49.480
is February fourteenth. And the video for Can't Take Away

540
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.839
the fire lyric video came out on Monday, I believe,

541
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:55.759
or maybe Tuesday, but it's out there. Look it up

542
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:58.240
and a know your neighbors, turn it up.

543
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:02.839
And what a great Valentine's gift that would make it's

544
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:03.480
a massacre.

545
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:05.160
Definitely there it is.
