Hi, you have done to censure? Wow for you? Your's

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:24.519
who are you? Who are me?

3
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:31.839
I just don't. This is a tip in here on

4
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.479
the Adventures tight n W PORC Y Radio.

5
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.119
And I'm very excited about this episode because we have

6
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.880
one of the most legendary drummers there is and some

7
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:44.039
exciting news.

8
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.640
So let's welcome to show VIDI a pissy. How are you?

9
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.600
I'm good? How are you good? Good to be here? Legendary?

10
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:53.679
Oh my god.

11
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.920
Well, listen, you've played with just pretty much everybody. I

12
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.399
couldn't even we wouldn't even have time for me to

13
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.200
list off all the people you've played with for sure.

14
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.840
Sorry, I'm sorry. I won't play with that many people

15
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:09.879
from now on anyway.

16
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.920
And I gotta tell you that the first I used

17
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:15.519
to play.

18
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.519
Drums for like nine years when I was a kid,

19
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.640
and I kind of sucked. So my hat's off to

20
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.000
you for being such a great drummer, because it takes

21
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.200
a lot of people.

22
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:26.359
I don't think realize that.

23
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.560
And then I switched to guitar, and the first song

24
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.640
I learned on guitar was not Smoke under Water, it

25
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:33.719
was Evan and hell.

26
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.159
There you go. It was meant to be some sort

27
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:38.159
of connection.

28
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.840
There, I know, right right, And so here we are.

29
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.640
We have some great news about you know, kind of

30
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:51.480
giving me like flashbacks and resurrecting the heaven had held

31
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:57.280
a final you know, Sabbath version before Doo left this earth,

32
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.760
but left us here with a lot of great memories.

33
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:06.879
Yeah, and what's good about this package that's coming out is,

34
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.439
you know, we were scheduled to go on tour again

35
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:17.639
in twenty ten with Ronnie, and then he got ill,

36
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.240
and then he got worse, and then he got really

37
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.919
sick and he couldn't do it, and the tour wasn't

38
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.680
going to happen. So it was not a happy ending.

39
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.960
You know, it's kind of sad. So now this is

40
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.439
years later and then putting this great package together. It's

41
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.560
a beautiful package this, you know, the albums that are

42
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.919
in it, and there's a posters and tour books and

43
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:48.719
photo album. It's beautiful. And at least this is kind

44
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:55.000
of some closure to that era of Black Sabbath, you

45
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:59.319
know and Ronnie, So it's more of a celebration now

46
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.280
than just the sad way that the band ended, you

47
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:04.520
know exactly.

48
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.800
And you know, I love that you have like there's

49
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.599
some things on this here that have never been on

50
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.800
vinyl before, so that's really cool. Yeah, and you know

51
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.680
all the Radio City live performances that are on there.

52
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:26.960
I mean, to me, this is like amazing way to

53
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:31.800
pay tribute and to all the greatness of that version

54
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:32.759
of Black Sabbath.

55
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.560
Yeah, that's what I'm kind of saying as well. You know,

56
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.479
it's it's a beautiful package and I just got it

57
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.039
in the mail last week and I was blown away.

58
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.000
Some of the photos in the photo book are so

59
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.840
clear and colorful, and oh it's just great. So it's

60
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.919
a nice collective's item for who who, whoever's having a

61
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.439
hell fan Black Sabbath fan, Ronnie, this is a great package.

62
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:03.000
Yeah.

63
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:07.639
And you know, back then you got an album, it

64
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.759
was a full sensory experience, which is what you're having here,

65
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.520
you know, like pictures, reading the lyrics, all the things

66
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:19.040
that came with an album that I think we're having

67
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:24.600
somewhat of a resurgence because my grandkids asked me for

68
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.000
the holidays that order their birthdays.

69
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:28.759
For Vinyl records.

70
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.759
So it's kind of cool because I think that's what

71
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.279
a lot of kids were missing, is that full experience yeah.

72
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.879
You know, when I was a kid growing up, it

73
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.519
was only vinyl, and you used to go buy the

74
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.480
record when it came out, and then you had to

75
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.160
cover you could see everything, and then you turned it

76
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.079
towards the back. The back of the album usually had

77
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.319
all the details of recording, and sometimes it listed the

78
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:06.480
microphone and the amplifiers, the drums, and that was really cool. Wow,

79
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:11.920
use Ludwig drums on this and the these microphones and amplifiers,

80
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.279
because it was a great cool thing. And while you're

81
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.759
listening to the record, you know, you're going through all

82
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:23.639
this information. So it was a very cool thing. So now, yeah, CDs,

83
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.800
it's hard to see on the it's only that big.

84
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.000
And then downloads you don't get anything. Yeah, unless you

85
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.600
download the they bring the artwork forward. I don't know,

86
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:38.759
but it's great on the album on the full on.

87
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.839
Vinyl, even like in the you know.

88
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.879
I remember I was a Beatles fanatic as a kid,

89
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.879
and I would buy all the albums, you know, before

90
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.519
I was even teenager, just for the clues of that

91
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.680
nineteen sixty nine radio show where they were saying Paul

92
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.519
was dead. It was such a fun experience to go

93
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:04.319
get these albums, look for these clues and do things

94
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.399
that you wouldn't be able to do today with downloads.

95
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.040
Yeah, and that's the thing. It was such a great

96
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:16.000
package that it made it more exciting. You know, you're

97
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.360
listening to the rep while you listen to the record,

98
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:22.279
you know, Yeah, and then you know Paul is dead,

99
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.040
But how come he's on the album?

100
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:25.959
Right?

101
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:27.399
I remember that? Yeah.

102
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.560
And then I'll tell you one of my favorite ever

103
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.759
experiences at concert, which there's been thousands of concerts I've

104
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.519
been to. I remember when I was at the mob

105
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:41.560
Rules tour.

106
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:48.160
Oh wow, and I it was in La and I

107
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.800
could have I could have sworn when Dio started talking

108
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.519
that it was God talking way.

109
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.839
It came over, well were you smoking?

110
00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:58.920
Well that's the thing, you know.

111
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.920
So it's back when you had to hang out, you know,

112
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.040
and camp out to get your tickets.

113
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:05.319
So I got there like early.

114
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.199
I was sleeping my sleeping bag to get the tickets,

115
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.199
and some dude goes to me, he goes, hey, can

116
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:13.560
you buy my tickets for me?

117
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.959
I'll smoke you out at the concert.

118
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.279
Sure you know you're a teenager, Like that's good enough

119
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.399
for me, And then yes he did. He did smoke

120
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.759
me out right before you guys came on, and it

121
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.639
was it was a trip though. Coming over to loud speaker,

122
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.120
I was like, whoa, this is the best experience ever.

123
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.279
And I still remember it to this day like that way.

124
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.319
So that's the impact right there. Yeah, And so I'm

125
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:50.240
glad that, you know, we're keeping this alive. And you know,

126
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.480
Ronnie was such a influence to so many people and

127
00:07:54.600 --> 00:08:00.600
such a great person that he just you know, I did,

128
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.040
like I do press coverage at the Bowl for Ronnie

129
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.360
and it's like amazing how every year just people so

130
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:11.439
much support. And I've never heard anybody ever say anything

131
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.519
bad about Ronnie, and that's unheard of in this industry.

132
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:19.480
Yeah. No, Ronnie was such a well besides being one

133
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.480
of the greatest singers in rock, if not the he

134
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.240
was such a nice person and he loved his music

135
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:30.319
and he loved his fans. His fans were really important

136
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:35.480
to him, and he took time to sign autographs, take pictures.

137
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.840
He never really brushed anybody off. You know. When I

138
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:43.320
first joined Sabbath in nineteen eighty, we played some arena

139
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.519
and I'm the new guy in the block back then,

140
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.440
and the show, you know, concert's over, and we hung

141
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.399
out a bit, and then we left the arena and

142
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.759
got in a limo, me and Ronnie and go up

143
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.320
the hill get out of the arena. And it was January,

144
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.000
like upstate New York, I think we were. And we

145
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.080
pull out and get to the gate. They were going

146
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:05.879
to open the gate and we go back to the hotel,

147
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.360
but there were a whole bunch of fans at the gate.

148
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.039
Ronnie said, stop the car, stop the car, and I'm like, wow,

149
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.480
the driver stopped the car. Ronnie got out, started saying autographs,

150
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.440
some taking pictures because it was cold. Yeah, you know,

151
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.759
they waited, you know, they deserved something. And so I

152
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.120
got out too, and you know, did that as well.

153
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:34.480
And I was always remember that how Ronnie was just

154
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:40.720
totally such a gentleman and loved the fans, you know.

155
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.240
Yeah, and that was amazing.

156
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.919
I remember I was a teenager and he lived in

157
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.360
that house in Tarzana and we got like invited over

158
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.240
and we were we were hanging out with him and

159
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.240
Vivian at the house. I don't know if I was

160
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.039
aim more than sixteen at the time. Oh, it was

161
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.759
me a couple of my friends, and again, like who

162
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:08.360
does that like it was. It was just like you

163
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:13.159
would never experience that from anybody usually, and he was

164
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:17.480
just so gracious and so you know, he realized what

165
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.559
it was all about and what he did it again.

166
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.799
He did that again later on a couple of years

167
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.320
later when we did Holy Dive a tour. We were

168
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.000
in England and playing London, and you know, we finished

169
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.080
the show upstairs and Ronnie relaxed. He doesn't leave right away,

170
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.080
like to hang out and have a beer or two,

171
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:43.080
and they we were getting ready to leave. Somebody said, well,

172
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.600
the cars are downstairs, we can go soon. And then

173
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.000
they came up and said, well, there's a bunch of

174
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.240
punters they call him Punters. The fans are out down

175
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.679
waiting for autographs and stuff, and it's kind of cold out.

176
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:57.840
So Ronnie said, bring him in. So they brought him

177
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:02.120
into the Hammersmith Odeon, such a famous place, and they

178
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:06.720
were about probably forty forty kids fans and sat him

179
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.639
in the front rows and then we came down and

180
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:14.120
we all signed autographs. And that's what Ronnie didd he

181
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:15.960
that's the kind of guy he was.

182
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:17.000
I love it.

183
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.799
No VIPs, no VIP stuff back.

184
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:25.039
Then, Yeah, no meet and greets or any no. Now,

185
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:32.000
what's your favorite memory of the Heaven and Hell days?

186
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.919
Well, you know, it's it was so many great times,

187
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.120
highlights and this and that. It was just nice to

188
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.639
get when they got back together and we called it

189
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:48.360
Heaven and Hell. That we're playing big places again, you know,

190
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:53.480
big festivals in Europe and I don't know if we

191
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.960
played the Garden, I'm from New York. We played Radio

192
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.000
City Music Hall, So there's just a lot of highlights

193
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.679
for me, you know, and playing with them and just

194
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:07.000
playing with Tony Gays and Ronnie again was just doesn't

195
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.559
get much better than that, you know, I know, right,

196
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:10.919
pretty amazing.

197
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.600
And how was their chemistry altogether with Ronnie you know,

198
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:17.159
you know.

199
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.480
At that point, we're all a little older at that point,

200
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.039
and it was it was a really good vibe in

201
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.799
the band during Heaven and Hell and we would have

202
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:33.600
fun musically. It was fantastic, and it was talk of

203
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.759
you know, let's do another album and then let's do

204
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.120
another tour, let's keep going for a while, you know,

205
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.000
and it was great, whereas years before that there was

206
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.799
always it lasted like two years, a year and a half,

207
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:51.000
and then there was problems and it didn't work out.

208
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.720
So at the end it was great. It's just a

209
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:56.480
shame what happened, you know, how Ronnie got ill.

210
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.440
So yeah, big shame, you know. And and I think

211
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:06.279
everybody needs to reach out and uh, you know, contribute

212
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:10.879
to the foundation. Uh you know that so other people

213
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.399
can get the help that you know, through through this

214
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.879
because cancer it's a bitch.

215
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:23.240
Yeah, I mean, it's an awful thing. And people, you know,

216
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:27.600
it's pretty popular right now, let's put it that way.

217
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:29.879
Probably all the junk in the air and the food

218
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.840
and the water and all that stuff. So who knows.

219
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.000
Yeah, I'm with you there. You know.

220
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.720
It's funny when we were younger, like you didn't think

221
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.879
about that stuff, and now we get this stage and

222
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:42.639
it's like, oh, look at the poison they've been putting

223
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:43.440
in our bodies.

224
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.559
Yeah. The latest thing is like, I don't know, I'm

225
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.879
in California and some days you look up at the

226
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.840
sky and it's like across uh playing tic tac toe

227
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:54.440
with the chemtrails.

228
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.919
Oh, that's so funny you're saying that, because I just

229
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.639
got back from LA and I was saying we were

230
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.759
around walked on saying my friend like I've never seen

231
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:04.639
this many chemtrails.

232
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:06.960
Like that everywhere.

233
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.879
They're everywhere. I spoke to a friend in North Carolina

234
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.840
because you had to hear too, and a friend in England,

235
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.360
same thing there. So I don't know what they're trying

236
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.080
to do, but nobody's saying anything like why are you

237
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:20.720
doing this?

238
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.159
And what is it for exactly?

239
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.039
You know, it used to be like trying to make

240
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.559
it rain and stuff, but I don't think it hasn't

241
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:32.440
rained here, never rained, right, Who knows?

242
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:38.440
So what else would you like to let people know

243
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:42.879
about the release of the these packages for Heaven and

244
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.840
Hell and and anything else you have coming up that

245
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.120
you want to talk about.

246
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:49.399
Yeah, well, the package is great, like I said, it's

247
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:55.840
just a fantastic package. The pictures, photos, everything is amazing.

248
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:57.679
But it only works if you play it.

249
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.639
Really loud when you get there right.

250
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:05.080
Then it works. Yeah, and I'm doing I started something.

251
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.720
It just kind of a fluke. I started doing a

252
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.320
band call put together a band called Sabbath Nights. And

253
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.600
this started a couple of years before where somebody invited

254
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.759
me to go play you know, we're gonna play all

255
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:22.960
Sabbath stuff and blah blah, blah. I said okay, and uh,

256
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:24.440
I did it and it was a lot of fun.

257
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.720
Then I noticed how the audience was eating it up.

258
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:30.080
You know. We played a lot of Dio Sabbath, some

259
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.720
Azzie Sabbath, some Dio songs, and the audience loved it.

260
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:36.480
So so I put something together. I got to kill

261
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:40.480
a band. My vocalist is Jim Queen who's from Buffalo,

262
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:44.879
New York, and he could sing Ronnie. He loves Ronnie.

263
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:49.080
He could sing this stuff without tuning down. It's just amazing.

264
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:50.879
So we got to kill a band, and we just

265
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:55.000
we're doing gigs, like not a lot of touring, but

266
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.519
we're doing as many gigs as we can. We got

267
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:02.159
some coming up the Akata Theater in May in Chicago,

268
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:07.080
and then we go to Ohio Picktown Palooza, it's like

269
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:13.200
a little festival, and then we do upstate New York Buffalo.

270
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:13.919
Area and nice.

271
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.440
That's a lot of fun. You know, people love it.

272
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:20.279
What playing get to his Sign of the Southern Cross

273
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:23.840
and Neon Knights all that shit, and then we play

274
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:31.519
some Ozzie song, a couple sabatoons, war Pigs and Ozzie song.

275
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.519
I don't know, we do that and then some dio stuff.

276
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.039
So it's a great show, you know. So it's a

277
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:39.840
lot of fun. We're not trying to break the band,

278
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.799
you know, it's just a lot of fun and people

279
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:43.440
enjoying it.

280
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:45.519
That's the key. It's fun.

281
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.559
You know, Like what why be in this industry if

282
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:50.559
you're not having fun.

283
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:54.080
When we made Holy Diver, we were having a ball,

284
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.519
a new band and we're all youngsters, and and uh

285
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.799
went to Sound City Studio. There was like a club

286
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:07.519
hanging out every night. We destroyed that place, this crazy

287
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.400
stuff that went on, and we were having fun. And

288
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:15.000
fun makes good music, it does music. And then we

289
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.119
did Holy Diver. If you did the whole album, wrote

290
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:17.880
the whole album.

291
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.119
So I love it. I see.

292
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.000
I love hearing stuff like that from musicians have been

293
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.240
musicians for a long time, you know, because there's a

294
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:28.839
lot of complaining that goes on. So I love the

295
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.920
freshness of hearing how much fun things are.

296
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:34.759
Yeah, you know, and we're having fun, we're doing this

297
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.759
and then you don't realize how it affects people. And

298
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:40.240
you know, then you go on the road and you

299
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:43.279
meet somebody goes man, I was going through a really

300
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:45.920
bad time and then you guys came out with that

301
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:49.519
album and that song whatever, Rainbow in the Dark or whatever.

302
00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:53.279
It really helped me get through life. And you know,

303
00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:57.440
it got me through the whole thing. And you know,

304
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:02.680
we don't write songs to try to purposely get people

305
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.039
feeling better. Obviously we don't know what's going on with

306
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:09.119
them anyway. But when you hear those stories, you go, wow,

307
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:12.720
we're just doing an odd job, right, you know, stuff

308
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.880
we love to do. It's inside of us. And then

309
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:21.079
you meet people who are so affected by it. You

310
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:21.880
don't realize that.

311
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.839
You know, it's a great feeling, right, Yeah, it's fantastic. Well,

312
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.400
it's fantastic that you've given us a great feeling for

313
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.559
all these decades. Here, thank you, and again, hats off

314
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:38.079
to you for being such a legendary drummer, because it's

315
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:39.559
a lot harder than people think.

316
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:46.640
You're right, and right now, the traveling is harder than anything. Then. Yeah,

317
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.279
if you got to fly and stuff, oh god, what.

318
