For Those About to Pod, We Salute You - Episode 67

[00:00:22] Speaker A: Well, hello, everyone, and welcome to episode 67 of the rock podcast. For those about the pod, we salute you. On this episode, Matt and I reached the letter t in the a to z of Rock. Hmm. Indeed. We review the latest albums from black country, communion and Robert John and the rec. We also have latest news and hidden gems. But here he is, my co host, fully live. No backing tips or AI involved at all. Mister Matt Rogers. Hello, mate. [00:00:57] Speaker B: I. Hello, Brian. How you doing, my friend? [00:01:01] Speaker A: I'm doing well. I was just thinking, before we recorded, you know, if you went into one of those AI engines and you went. You plugged in two old blokes blather for an hour about rock, would it come out with our show? [00:01:17] Speaker B: Well, you could be very specific, of course, couldn't you? Yeah. You know, one vote from sorry and one from Edinburgh. You could, you know. Yeah, you know, you could probably. Yeah, you could if you did find it enough. Anyway, look, it's just not. It's just. Don't forget our sister podcast. For those about to. For those about to do experiments, we salute you. That's. That's the science one. [00:01:41] Speaker A: All right. Okay, okay. Save that for another day for our next special guest. Brian Cox, ex of dream and all things space. [00:01:50] Speaker B: That's right. Well, funnily enough, get guested. It's been a weekend. You said it earlier in the pre production meeting, the thing we call laughingly called the pre production meeting. Sorry if my chair's creaking. Talking to pre production, we decided we're going to do this entire podcast in one hit, one take. Not that we normally do loads of takes, by the way, because we have got better. What are we, 76 or 67? [00:02:15] Speaker A: 67. [00:02:17] Speaker B: 67. As a first mistake, the evening. In the early days. In the early days, we used to. We used to think it was a good idea to drink while we were doing it. So I'd invariably trip over and swear and everything, but we don't seem to do that very much anymore. So where were we? Yes, guest appearances. So, yeah, Brian Cox, who I really like, actually. [00:02:39] Speaker A: Me too. [00:02:40] Speaker B: I think he's great. Not to be confused with the actor Brian Cox. This, for anyone outside of the UK, Brian Cox is. Is a. A tv presenter slash astronomer and probably other things as well, but essentially known as astronomer. It's brilliant. But he got up on stage with Derem, who were not really podcast knows about the pub. We salute you material. But, yeah, you noticed there were quite a lot of guest appearances as this weekend just gone or last week or whenever it was. [00:03:06] Speaker A: It was. Yeah. So obviously the first. The first one that everybody would have seen on social media over the weekend would have been Coldplay, where they brought Michael J. Fox on stage. And Michael J. Fox played a little bit of guitar on humankind and fix you. And obviously. Yeah. And he's still battling on with his challenges with Parkinson, so. But I know there's Coldplay and Michael J. Fox have got a relationship wherever. There's been a few times where Coldplay have invited. Invited Michael J. Fox on the stage. So that was. That was the one at Glastonbury. Then we had the foos, who continued to be in the UK. So they were playing the Aston Villa stadium. And Dave Grohl, it was really funny when you watch the footage. So Dave Grohl goes, I would just like to invite onto the stage Giza Butler from Black Sabbath, to which the Foo Fighters audience was somewhat. Oh, that's. That's really lovely. That's really lovely. [00:04:14] Speaker B: And then Griffith Black, who was it? [00:04:16] Speaker A: Yes, and Dave sort of had to expletively punctuate, this is Dave. This. This is Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath, people. This is a big moment. So they played paranoid. So that was. That was another. [00:04:32] Speaker B: Well, that said, sorry, just to jump in there on that. It was a good clip. [00:04:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:36] Speaker B: And. Yeah. Good to see. Geeze about the playing live playing, bro. Yeah. God bless him. Because he's a massive Aston villain. Not only is he from Aston, down the road from the stadium, but he's actually an Aston Villa fan. So it must have been great for him, because I don't think in all their years, Sabbath played at the villa. Was it in Villa park? Yeah, I don't think he would have played with Sabbath in Villa park. They may still do, because there's always this talk about possible reunions with. Well, we'll see how it goes with the reunion. If Ozzy could make it. That was my Tony. I mean, people who've forgotten. And it's great to see. Yeah. [00:05:19] Speaker A: And. [00:05:19] Speaker B: But Dave Grohl forgot the words, which is quite fun. [00:05:22] Speaker A: I never saw that. But how can you forget the words of paranoid? [00:05:27] Speaker B: Well, you know, it's actually a more difficult song than it looks, of course. At least I would think so. Yeah, that was. That was good. What else was there, Brian? [00:05:37] Speaker A: Yeah. And there was a couple. Well, we'll leave the last one today. We'll leave the. Your favorite one to the end one, which was a great surprise, which was at. I think this was a grass pop. And it was a. It was a. A weird collaboration in some ways, because I never would have put Mister Bungle, which within its ranks has got Mike Patton from faith no more, Scott Ian from Anthrax and Dave Lombardo from Slayer. So you've got the three of them. So it's going to be quite a heavy, heavy combo. And young Wolfgang Van Halen comes out and Mister Bungle has recorded an old deep cut of Van Halen's called loss of control. And Wolfgang came out and shredded on this track with them and it just sounded. Sounded amazing. Wolfie was just sounded. He just. He sounds so like his dad when he's playing the Van Ehlen material. It's quite frightening, actually. I don't think anybody else can do it. [00:06:44] Speaker B: What song do they do? [00:06:45] Speaker A: They did a track called Loss of Control, which is on women and children first. It's a track. It's a track. I didn't really know. I had a listen to it afterwards. It is quite a heavy track, matt. It's like. It's a bit like it reminded me of, you know, Queen's stone cold sober, which is quite a heavy. [00:07:05] Speaker B: Stone cold crazy. [00:07:07] Speaker A: Yeah, it reminds me. Yeah. [00:07:09] Speaker B: No, no, but this is doing this in one take, remember? Yeah. Stone cold crazy. You believe that Stone Cold sub is another song. It's a good song, actually. I imagine you're fast forwarding to the Rob Jonathan rec album. They've got a song on there called something along those lines. We'll come to that later. [00:07:22] Speaker A: Exactly, exactly. But the final one, the final one over the weekend is Metallica and your man Tatler. [00:07:31] Speaker B: Brian Tatler. [00:07:32] Speaker A: Yeah. Brian Tatler. [00:07:33] Speaker B: The fantastic Brian Tatler of Diamond Head. A t, by the way. We'll come on to the letter t later, of course, as you say, joined Diamond Head, who have been massive fans of. Sorry, joined Metallica. One take. Joined Metallica to do a rendition of Diamond Heads anthemic song am I bleeping evil in Oslo? Unfortunately, early footage was some fairly distant sort of fan shot. I watched it anyway. Bright tatter, as we know, has had a new lease of life with Saxon, of course, and which is great. So he's obviously used to playing in front of those big audiences with Saxon and. Yeah, sounded great, jed. And it is great. It's a great song. And they. And they do it justice, Metallica. And they always have done. They've been playing it since the early days. Famously. They used to do four or five songs in their set when they first started, which are diamond head songs. And they used to. They didn't kind of say that these are diamond head songs. He used to play them in a way, passing them off as their own. However, of course, they have helped Ryan with royalties and essentially kept Diamond Head afloat over the years. Anyway, enough about Diamond Head. That was. That was great. Yes. That was fantastic. Watch all those. Should we put them. All those clips on? [00:08:50] Speaker A: Put them all on Facebook. Facebook. And we've got so many other festivals to look forward to. So looking forward to seeing if there's going to be any other collaborations. Yes, this summer. [00:09:00] Speaker B: Indeed, yes, we look forward to it. Changing tax slightly, sort of. Talking of festivals, I suppose I was there back in 1984 when status quo announced their last gig, the end of the road tour in 1984 in Milton Keynes in the UK. [00:09:21] Speaker A: 40 years ago. [00:09:24] Speaker B: 40 years ago. And, of course, Kuo came back from the ashes a year later and still going. But they've announced that Francis Rossi, I think we touched upon last time in the letter s, Francis Rossi, status quo has said that after this tour, and he's 75 now, Francis, he said that this is going to be it, this will be the last tour. And he said it's not one of those where we're going to carry on afterwards. He's got a couple of prostate cancer issues. He's had one or two other medical issues that he says associated with know, getting old. So, yeah, sadly, cuo I'm going to call it a day, which is. Which is a shame. So if. If you get a chance to see quo, if you have. If you've never seen status quo in any of their incarnations, from the frantic four days through the. Through the more recent times, when essentially it's just Francis. Francis Rossi from that era, then go check them out. The songs are great, the performances are great. Francis Rossi's still singing well, but, yeah, sadly, quo are calling it a day, which is a shame. British institution. [00:10:31] Speaker A: Absolutely, yeah, very much. Yeah, I love quo. And we talked about them on their letter s in the last episode. [00:10:41] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right, yep. And indeed, under Q, we've really milked quo over the last episodes under SNQ, so this is, in a way, a. A fitting footnote to their career. What else you got for us, Bry? [00:10:55] Speaker A: Yeah, a singer who I think is fantastic. And we've mentioned this band a few times on the podcast, a band called the River Dogs, which Vivian Campbell. So Vivian was in the river dogs for a while. Hello, Vivian. So, the lead singer, Rob Lamothe, has been around Europe. He's going around Europe at the moment. I'm just doing some acoustic shows, bars and clubs. He did have a show booked in an extensive uk tour. Matt, where do you think that was? [00:11:34] Speaker B: London? [00:11:35] Speaker A: Yes. He was doing one show in London. And Rob today has had to cancel his entire european tour because whilst he's been on tour, he had to have emergency surgery on a detached retina in Holland. [00:11:52] Speaker B: Ouch. [00:11:53] Speaker A: Indeed. [00:11:54] Speaker B: So, detached retina in Holland. That sounds doubly painful. [00:11:58] Speaker A: Yes. Let's hope he had medical insurance. [00:12:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:02] Speaker B: Jeez. [00:12:03] Speaker A: Yes. [00:12:03] Speaker B: Ouch. Ouch. Please don't say anything more about anything like that because I'm very squeamish. [00:12:07] Speaker A: Yeah. No, no, no. So already. Yeah, already. [00:12:11] Speaker B: All. [00:12:12] Speaker A: All turing commitments. The rest of the. The rest of the tour has been canceled. He's heading back to the uS, so. But he put a nice message up on social media going that whilst he was out in tour, the voice was sounding good. He had a good response from the european audiences. And he's looking forward to coming back in 2025 with maybe a band and a bigger tour. So get well, Rob. [00:12:36] Speaker B: So he's going to pay London and Brighton, maybe, I guess, something like that, you know, keep it in the southeast. [00:12:42] Speaker A: Yeah, maybe I do. London and Maeda Stone. [00:12:46] Speaker B: That'd be good. Yeah, I like that. I would like that. Yeah. Rob Lamoth. What? Great name. [00:12:50] Speaker A: Yes. [00:12:51] Speaker B: Yeah, indeed. Well, talking of great names, these links get more and more tenuous as the episodes go on. Quadraphenia. The who. The who's seminal. Not even sure what seminal means, to be honest with you, but who's prog album? Not prog album. Concept album, I should say. One take, Brian. One take. [00:13:13] Speaker A: Okay. One take. [00:13:14] Speaker B: One take. The who's concept album, it's going to be turned into a ballet very much in the same vein as the Sabbath ballet last year. Now, I was reading about this. Now, do you remember our friend Matt Graydon did a very nice. He was a published author, we should add. Did a very nice summary of the. Of the Sabbath ballet. Well, quadraphenia, it's going to be a story because the Quadraphenia itself was a. Was a story of this young lad called Jimmy. Yeah, a young mod. We won't hold that against him, who is trying to find his way in the world. That's the kind of press thing. So the ballet is going to be built around Jimmy's. Jimmy the modest and his people who can't see it. Brian, you're chuckling to yourself. It's all over the UK. It's not just playing London, it's Plymouth. [00:14:09] Speaker A: Oh, no. This is one I'm quite happy you can keep in Covent Garden. [00:14:13] Speaker B: No, no, he's coming to Edinburgh. I think you should go. You should go for the. Protect one for the team. Go and see this ballet. I can see you at the ballet and, uh. Yeah. So that's what you think. Where's. Where's it all going to end, Brian? Ballets. Ballets for everything. It's gonna be like. I'm sure there's gonna be a Slayer ballet at some point. That'd be great, wouldn't it? Slay after they finished headlining Stone dead. Yeah. I can see them coming off developing the Slayer ballet. [00:14:47] Speaker A: That's. That's one for our listeners. Which. Which album or band would you like to see their tunes made into a ballet? [00:15:00] Speaker B: Yes. Good. Good question. You can see some prog acts, I think, like Rush and maybe not Pink Floyd, but maybe. Yes, could be turned into a ballet because it's a bit more sort of, you know, orchestral, as it were. But, yeah, we shall see about that. What else have you got? Anything else? [00:15:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Sad news, though. And Peter Collins, the world renowned record producer, passed away recently, I think, when we were looking through Peter's discography, in terms of his production credits, Peter has produced some of my favorite, favorite albums, mainly in the eighties. He was probably one of the go to eighties rock producers. He produced three of Gary Moore's albums in the mid. In the mid eighties, he did. He did run for cover. He did after the war. Phenomenal producer. He produced. Oh, my goodness, Queen Drake in terms of Empire, which is a phenomenal album. And one of my. I think I've gone on record as saying, is one of my favorite Rush albums. He produced power windows as well, too. So he was kind of like. In my view, personally, he was kind of like the rock Trevor Horne. He brought all of that technology in and he. And he was able to do that. And he produced Nick Kershaw. So he did Nick Kershaw's two. First two albums. And I'm a big fan of Nick Kershaw as well, too. So, sad loss. Yeah. [00:16:40] Speaker B: Yes, indeed. Yes. 73 from pancreatic cancer, which is very sad. [00:16:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:16:45] Speaker B: So, yes. But as you've always said many times, its legacy will continue. And a very eclectic mix of bands and acts that he worked with, changing the subject slightly. Finally, biopics. Now, biopics, we talked about those once or twice over the years. There was the famous motley crue one, I think it was called the dirt, wasn't it? [00:17:08] Speaker A: Was indeed. Yes. [00:17:09] Speaker B: Yeah. The dirt. There was Bohemian Rhapsody, the queen biopic. There was an ill fated one about death leopard, which several people you could find it on YouTube. It's absolutely horrendous. I think it's called his best and famous one where they come out of Sheffield. It says London, 5 miles or something like that. Clearly done in America. Hilarious. But there is going to be a scorpions biopic focusing. I think the information is quite a sort of. There's not much information about it at the moment, but essentially it's got to be based, I think, on the early years of the formation of the band, essentially Klaus mine and Rudolph Schenker putting together the scorpions in the year I was born. So it's only, as we said last time, about 27 plus chains years ago. So that'd be fun. I'm looking forward to that. I'm not sure who the audience will be. I mean, once the Scorpions fans have watched it. And there are a few, don't get me wrong, but, you know, queen. Yeah. You can understand Motley crue on Netflix, I think, got a lot of, you know, got a lot of hype. And it was pretty kind of, you know, a little bit on the sort of risque side, should we put it, to put it mildly. And I'm not sure the audience is going to be for the Scorpions bio pick. And in the same vein, we talked about Bon Scott biopic. You say biopic like a, like a yogurt drink. You would. You would drink to help your gut. And I say biopic. I guess both are right. And there's Bon Scott one, there's Keith Moon one in the works. [00:18:49] Speaker A: Okay. [00:18:49] Speaker B: That'd be an interesting one. There's a heart biopic in the work as works as well. So clearly biopics that'll be interesting are the name of the game. And then you reminded me earlier that about the, about the boss. The boss biopic. The boss opic. There's going to be a biopic about Bruce the Boss Springsteen starring, starring someone you've heard of. I don't even know what the bear is, to be honest with you. But yeah, it's going to be starring someone who is in the. Is it a tv show? The Bear? [00:19:22] Speaker A: It is a comedy. It's a comedy drama about a chef. Yeah, we discuss it on for those about to cook. [00:19:33] Speaker B: Oh, it's about chef. Not about bear at all. [00:19:35] Speaker A: No. [00:19:36] Speaker B: Okay. Jeremy Allen Wyatt. That says going to star as boss. The boss. Rather not boss. You got me talking about the bear now with the. About the boss as the boss. Whose idea was it to do it? One take. It's like when you see those tv shows, they do what they do live, and there's all sorts of, you know, weird things happen. And. Anyway, where were we? Yes. So there's this conjecture as to whether he's going to sing, which I don't think is a good idea, to be honest. I think they should. They should have him kind of miming to the boss, don't you? [00:20:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Unless he's. Unless he's got a voice that sounds some way like him. Because that was the. That was the beauty of Bohemian Rhapsody. Because when you look at Freddy's voice and a great canadian singer called Mark, I think it's Mark Martell and Rami Malek. What they did for some of the. What they did on the Bohemian Rhapsody album is they kind of. He had to use the word AI, but what they did is they actually produced a mixed of all three of the vocals so that it. So that it's not just Freddy's voice. So there's a little bit of Ramy in there, and there's a little bit of Mark's vocal as well, too, who's a world renowned, you know, Freddie, you know, Freddy sound alike. So. Which brings a little bit of authenticity to it, because there's nothing worse than watching somebody, you know, somebody trying to mime tobaccon tracks. [00:21:12] Speaker B: Mm, true. And, of course, there was the Elvis biopic. I'm not quite. I can't remember who sang on that, but it was. What's his name is Austin Butler. [00:21:21] Speaker A: Yes. Austin Butler. [00:21:22] Speaker B: Yeah. We'll talk about that in our other or other other podcasts. For those about to rock and roll, we salute you. Right. Well, anything else, Brian? Finally. So very fun. [00:21:34] Speaker A: Yeah. No, no, no. So you. You posed me a question and pre production. You did. [00:21:40] Speaker B: I did. I did. I remember now. Yes. [00:21:43] Speaker A: So you asked me if there was. From a. If there was any artists out there who I thought would be deserving of a biopic. And I have a little list. [00:21:57] Speaker B: Really? Already? [00:21:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:59] Speaker B: Geez. Okay, let's hear it then. [00:22:01] Speaker A: Okay, well, there's three off the bat straight away. Number one, AC DC. Yeah. [00:22:09] Speaker B: Well, there's a bun. There's a bon Scottman in the works. It's kind of. But that's. [00:22:12] Speaker A: That's Bon Scott. Okay. For me, I think. I think there's a. I think there's a story post born, which is the. Which is back in black. It's the Brian Johnson years. [00:22:22] Speaker B: Okay. With someone like Jimmy Nail playing Brian Johnson. That'd be fun. [00:22:29] Speaker A: The next one I thought would be interesting would be Fleetwood MacDoue. [00:22:33] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. It's good shot. [00:22:34] Speaker A: You could do the Peter Green, you could do the rumors. You could do all of that. And then the one which for me, we might as well just call this rock family trees, which is the story of deep purple. [00:22:47] Speaker B: Hmm. [00:22:47] Speaker A: Because you could do. You just go through. You could do. Yeah, you could do it all. You include Richie David. [00:22:57] Speaker B: Yeah, you could do. On that subject. Finally, we were talking in pre production about the fact, and I remember this, there was years and years ago, I think the early eighties, there was talk about Phil Linnet playing Jimi Hendrix. And then fast forward to the mid two thousands, Gary Dordan, american actor who was in one of the CSI tv shows, CSI Miami. He was that. That got kind of canned. But do you remember, unless I dreamt this, there was talk about a Led Zepp biopic with Jason Donovan to play Robert Plant. [00:23:37] Speaker A: No. [00:23:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Really? I saw there was talk about it. And then finally coming up to something we talked about last time. We talked about the band collateral last time. [00:23:52] Speaker A: Okay. [00:23:53] Speaker B: Angelo Tristan, who we talked about, is a singer. He is a singer frontman of collateral. Again, I'm sure I heard a rumor that he was going to be. He was cast as Stephen Tyler in an Aerosmith biopic. So clearly, as I say, biopics are. They're all over the place. And as we famously talked about episode five, if they did a biopic of this, I think Liam Neeson would play you, clearly and anybody. So play me. Was it Alan Rickman? I think the late. Great. [00:24:27] Speaker A: I did say somebody who you weren't particularly networked with. [00:24:32] Speaker B: That's right. Well, maybe it would have been Alan Rickman if he was still with us. Anyway, we digress. Anything else? Is that it? [00:24:39] Speaker A: That's it. That's it for news. [00:24:44] Speaker B: So, Brian, that brings us to this episode's new rock on the block. We've got two albums to review. We've got the new album by black country community called five or v, depending on your perspective. And we've got the new album by Robert John and rec called Red Moon Rising or Red Moon Rising, depending on perspective. So what did you think of BCC five V? First album from them in a while, isn't it? [00:25:11] Speaker A: It has. And dare I say, to use that old rock and roll pun, Matthew, a return to form, because BCC four, which came out in 2017, was a bit of. It just felt like a. Let's just all run into the studio and chuck a lot of ideas down. And it felt very much like a. More of a heavy Glenn Hughes solo album, whereas this album, and they've released a few tracks off it before it was released. We had enlighten and stay free. And when I. When I first heard those tracks before the album come out, I thought, oh, sounds more cohesive. It sounded like a really good mix, obviously. Black content, communion. The albums are all produced by Kevin Shirley, so it's always, you know, a stellar production, but as an album as a whole. Matt, I think black. It just sounds like Black Country Communion. There's in the sense of. It doesn't sound like a Glenn Hughes solo album. It's very banned. You can hear Joe. The star of the album for me is Derek Chynian. It's the first album in five where his Hammond organ and keyboards are really up in the mix, particularly for some of the funkier tracks like Steve Freeze. Quite a. Got that Stevie wonder, clavinette. And then the track love and faith, where there's some great keyboards as well, too. So Derek's keys are well up in the mix. I just loved it. And Glenn's vocal performance, the man's in his mid seventies, and his vocal performance on you're not alone, where he's hitting those high notes and just the emotion on his vocal. I was expecting mediocrity and I actually got an album. It's not their best album, but it's a good, solid eight. Eight and a half out of ten for me. I've listened to it a few times and I'm not taking anything away from Jason Bonham as well, too. He often gets overlooked in the project, but Jason's drumming in it is just sensationally. Know, when you. When you listen to stay free, red sun, there are hints of Zeppelin. You know, there is drumming, you know, some of the staccato, up tempo material. Love and faith is just so Led Zeppelin. So, yeah, I was really, really impressed with it. It's a shame that they're not able to follow it up straight away, Matt, with a tour, because of everybody else's commitments. But, yeah, return to form for BCC. How do you think of it? [00:28:00] Speaker B: Very good. Very good. I wasn't quite as bowled over as you. That said, I'm not. Not the biggest BCC fan. I like the BBC, but BCC, not so much of a. [00:28:14] Speaker A: Or Boc. [00:28:15] Speaker B: Boc. Yeah, I'm happy with Boc. British Oxygen Corporation, whatever they used to be called. Blue eyes to cop. Of course, I agree with you about the Led Zepp vibe, certainly as you. I've written it down here. And specifically, love and faith. There's a song called Restless, which starts with a guitar lick by jab on amasa, which reminded me of. Since I've been loving you, it's almost like the same notes, just slightly kind of in the different order. Did you know it's that bright? [00:28:43] Speaker A: I thought it was very blue. That was just a. That was a jewel bonamassa solo track. That to me was. Yeah, it was very. It was very garry more. And it had that dazed and confused since I've been loving you type Les Paul sound very much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:29:04] Speaker B: And you said about Derek Sirinian and the keyboards, if you listen closely to his keyboard used on that, it sounds very much like a song called. From a song called all my Love by Led Zepp. Not that I like Led Zepp or know all their songs or think the greatest band ever next to Diamond Head, but it does sound a bit like I loved. I loved one or two things. There was a bit where Jason Bonham does the counting, the 1234. And it sounded. It was. It was so like John Bonham. He's 20 years older than his dad, bought some. He died, sadly, to put things in perspective. But it's. Yeah, it's really sounded like it. I quite liked it. I wish I did think it did sound a bit like a Glenn Hughes solo album. And I also felt it was. You know, he's got a certain style these days, Glenn Hughes, whether he's on his own, doing the deep purple stuff and style. I mean, not necessarily singing style, but it's kind of overall sort of lyrical style, very much Dead Daisies albums. You could kind of interchange some of these songs from the last Dead Daisies album. I thought you said funky Groove was there, which he's been renowned for since the Deep Purple Days. [00:30:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:24] Speaker B: I would have liked to have had Joe Bodamasa singing a few songs or participate more in the vocals than he did. There's a song. I don't know what album it's on. Bry, you'd know battle for Hadrian's War, which is on the second album. [00:30:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:39] Speaker B: Which Joe Bonamassa sings, which is a magnificent song. That said, it's a good. It's a good album. It takes a few listens. My standout track was so called Open Road, which I think is towards the end, if not the end, or the last song on the album. Yeah, that was quite. [00:30:56] Speaker A: Beatles. There's a Beatles, yeah, possibly. [00:31:00] Speaker B: But you're right. I mean, magnificent singing. I mean, his voice just gets almost better with age, or at least doesn't deteriorate. Joe Bonamassa's guitar playing, immense as usual, despite the ticket prices for his solo gigs. Jason Bonham drumming, you know, if not as good, then almost as good as his dad. And Derek Shirinian. Yeah. I didn't quite see him up in the mix as much as you did, but I don't listen up necessarily for that level of detail when I'm walking the dog. It's quite difficult to pick up, you know, poo when you're listening for Derek Schoeny and keyboard servers. Dog poo, that is on my head. Anyway, so that was BCC five. [00:31:46] Speaker A: Just one final point next year, Joe, if there are any press passes going for your tour in the UK, we are still available to come and watch and provide good feedback, irrespective of how expensive your tickets are. [00:32:01] Speaker B: That's true, that's true. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you're listening, Joe. Yeah, it's fine. Go for it. Right, so that brings us to the new album by Robert John and the Wreck, which is called Red Moon Rising. Now, this is their 9th album since 2011. That's pretty prolific by today's standards. [00:32:21] Speaker A: Yes. [00:32:22] Speaker B: And they've almost done one a year for the last five or six years, which is. Which is pretty good. I really like Robert Jordan direct. Do you remember that song? Oh, Miss Carolina? [00:32:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:32] Speaker B: Which was. Which I think was certainly one of our favorite songs from, I think, 2021 or so, maybe that era. Absolutely brilliant. Why don't you. I'm going to go first on this. [00:32:43] Speaker A: You. This is you. [00:32:44] Speaker B: Yeah. So Red Moon rising as a 9th album from Robert John the Rick. He's got a great voice, fantastic voice. One of the great voices of recent years. I think he's got a sort of unique style, singing style. There's a lot of variety on this album, which I always like. You can't say that about the BCC album, particularly because it's, you know, as you say, it's got Kevin Shirley all over it. But with Robert John, the rec, there was a lot of sort of kind of light and shade, different tempos and so on. I wrote down americana to start with, but I thought, I don't even know what americana really means because you can't label everything as americana. So it's got a tinge of americana about it, but it's also got some southern rock without being two Orman brothers or Leonard Skinner. I think it owes more to Bob Seger, possibly as an influence. The interesting thing I noticed, he sings a lot of lyrics are. A lot of the lyrics are about a he or a she. A lot of them are in the third person and this she, whoever, uh, Robert John is talking about. Um, I'll be very interested to know who it is. Um, so he talks about, um, the she in stone called killer in trouble, and one or two other songs. Favorite. Favorite songs for me, um, ballad of a broken hearted man is an absolute epic, as is the title track, rhythm and rising, as is the last song on the album. Beautiful sentiment song called Give Love. So, yeah, I would. If you haven't seen them live, they're fantastic live. Really good live band, great musicianship. I hope they're going to be huge. They are headlining a few festivals and popping up here and there over the summer. I think they're touring the UK. [00:34:41] Speaker A: November. [00:34:41] Speaker B: I can't. [00:34:42] Speaker A: I. Yeah, there you go. [00:34:44] Speaker B: I'm seeing them, I think, late November, early December. I thought they're great. I think this is one of my favorite albums of the year so far. And it's very. You can let it wash over you. You can have background music. It's quite chilled, catchy songs, good melodies. All good. Nine out of ten for me. Brian, what do you think? [00:35:06] Speaker A: That's a really interesting review, Matthew, because Kevin Shirley produced this album. [00:35:11] Speaker B: Oh, did he? Oh, I didn't know. I should have done my research. I didn't realize that. [00:35:16] Speaker A: No, but that's. But that's. [00:35:18] Speaker B: Yeah, it's very well produced. I didn't know that. [00:35:21] Speaker A: Yeah, but. But I. [00:35:23] Speaker B: He's a busy boy. [00:35:24] Speaker A: He's a very busy boy. Yeah. So. So the. So Robert John and the wreck are actually signed to Joe Bonamassa's record label. So I think Kevin Shirley's like the producer, uh, producer in chief. But everything you said, I completely agree with. I. The. When I listened to the album, I was struck with his voice. And it's kind of. It's when you listen to these Wicked Rivers album, which, again, was a great album from a Segway point of view, these Wicked Rivers. And then you sort of move nicely into. Into this album and then you. You just get it. It's a little bit more soaked with the bourbon. [00:36:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:11] Speaker A: And the two words for this album, when I was listening to it the whole way through it was, it's got swing and swagger. There's a real. You know, the. There's sometimes the band sound, whenever they rocked it up, the more up tempo tracks reminded me of Blackstone Cherry a little bit, the heavier stuff. But then they could go, like, tracks for me, like help yourself, which is very piano. You're in that. Rolling stones, when they were in the Graham Parsons period, wild horses, it just had that lovely, you know, as you say, americana. The stones were so influenced, and in that period with Graham, with Graham Parsons, that. And. Yeah, and I just thought it was. It was really, really. It was good. The bat, the. The ballad of a broken hearted man, two things came in my mind. The guitars, the slide player, the lead guitar player in the band is phenomenal. His slide playing, Washington, just was just echoes of Jeff Beck. And you could hear in the acoustic playing. I've listened to album a couple of times now. I'm hearing the, you know, the kind of the wandered dead or alive blaze of glory type, you know, that sort of cowboys. Not. Not necessarily as commercial as those big MTV hits, but just. Just the. The layering of the production. It just. I was very, very impressed with this album. And as you say, that the two standout tracks are the title track itself, which is great, and ballad of a broken hearted man. It's really, really good. Just swing, swagger. It's just. I was thinking about this. How many more bands can we get into the genre of modern southern rock? Matt? There's just, you know, when you think of, you know, the, you know, BlackBerry Smoke, Blackstone Cherry, even the Black crows coming back, you know, and even when we talk, when we listen to the likes of the karma effect from the UK, everybody's. Everybody's in this sweet spot of. Of swaggering southern rock. You know, it's. Yeah, great album. [00:38:42] Speaker B: Great album, indeed. Yeah, go check it out. Red Moon Rising. It's got a great album cover, too. Yeah, I think now we've returned to vinyl, largely. The album covers are really good now. And this got a fantastic. Well, Red Moon rising on it. Surprise, surprise. Yeah, go check it out. [00:39:03] Speaker A: So, Matt, we now reach the letter t in the 80 z of rock, and we will start with the band which, in my opinion, recorded the greatest live album of all time. [00:39:19] Speaker B: You. You get ahead of yourself. New for ufos next time. [00:39:26] Speaker A: Exactly. I'm getting in early. I'm getting in early. [00:39:29] Speaker B: Okay. [00:39:29] Speaker A: Yeah, we can only start with. For me in the letter t with Thin Lizzie. Matthew, a band, a band formed in 1969 with the great Philip Linnet, Eric Bell and Brian Downey. And there's three eras of Thin Lizzie. Before Gary Moore. With Gary Moore. And after Gary Moore. [00:39:54] Speaker B: Okay. All right. [00:39:57] Speaker A: And, yeah, put on 4 hours worth of thin Lizzie music. No, no, no. The band in Ireland, the band that's held in such high regard, thin Lizzie, when you think of the influence that they've had, the influence on u two, you know, but Phil was always held alongside Van Morrison and Rory Gallagher is poetry, his writing, even some of his solo material, which he always was. And, you know, we called him the rocker, but he had a soft side to him. Yeah. The greatest irish rock hero of all time. So we're kicking off with Thin Lizzie, Matthew. [00:40:45] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah, I thought we might. When we were preparing for this, I wrote down. That was the first band I wrote down Thin Lizzie. Yeah, magnificent. Great. And, yeah, you're right. One of the greatest live albums ever with live and dangerous from 1978, I think it was. [00:41:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Pulled. Pulled together and pulled together and manufactured together from lots of shows in 1977. [00:41:09] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. Yeah. As they all were. As they all were. There's good shout. Brian Lizzie, magnificent band. And I think we should go next to two bands, actually, two tees. That kind of one kicked things off and then morphed into the other. Terraplane and Thunder. Yeah, now. Yeah. So we all know about thunder. That made a little illustrious. [00:41:32] Speaker A: Just you go to quiz me now on Terraplane. [00:41:34] Speaker B: And I go, ooh, I do vaguely remember Terraplane. So terraplane, essentially were Danny Bowes and Luke Morley with Harry Gary James on drums. I who? Yeah, they were. I do remember them coming around in the late eighties, I think in, you know, sort of in Kerang and stuff. They didn't have the most illustrious career released. That said, they loosely released a couple of albums, black and white and moving target, but morphed into Thunder in 1989 after chair plane had broken up. And I. Well, Thunder, I mean, you know, again, talk about british institution. We touched upon them a few episodes ago. They didn't quite time it in terms of breaking America, but Daddy Bowes, what a voice. Luke Morley, great guitarist, the kind of heart of the band. With Harry James still on drums, we hope they're still going. Daddy Bose has had recent health issues, so it'd be good if we saw them again. But, yeah, great, great band. Thunder. Put some thunder stuff on the playlist. We also put a thunderstruck on the playlist, which they used to come onto. Of course, that was their walk on song, so called it. Walk on song intro tape yes, thunderstruck by the mighty AC DC, who I shall be seeing this week, and I shall tell you all about it on the next episode. Back to you, Brian. In the word of the tease. [00:43:04] Speaker A: In the word of the tease. I'm going to stay in the eighties, Matthew. I would get lynched if I didn't. [00:43:10] Speaker B: But that is you all over there, isn't it? [00:43:17] Speaker A: Remember, that's the thin lizzy period. After. After Gary were in the eighties. [00:43:21] Speaker B: Oh, that's right, yes. One of the three period. I was listed three periods. Yeah. Where were you? [00:43:27] Speaker A: So I'm going to stay. I'm going to stay in the genre that I seem to be stuck in, Matthew, and never coming out. And I'm frantically now trying to change my hidden gem in my head because it's from the eighties as well. But we'll get to that. So I'm gonna go with a great band that in the mid eighties when we were. When we've talked about the mid eighties and particularly in America with all of the. I never know the difference between glam metal and hair metal, but there was so many bands that came out of the mid eighties and this album struck me like a hammer in 1986. It's a band. Band from Texas, which is Tesla. Oh, right. Yeah. Tesla came out with their debut album, Mechanical Resonance and they had. Oh, I remember the track modern day cowboy and little susie. [00:44:26] Speaker B: Oh, great. [00:44:27] Speaker A: So, yeah, yeah. So they're their debut album and they also got a bit. They were. They had great patronage or patronage from Def Leppard. So when everybody, everybody on the planet who I seem to know that was going to rock gigs in the 1980s who saw the hysteria tour that I didn't, they always talk about the. The great nights and Sheffield and in Belfast, where Tesla supported Def Leppard and once one of their gigs of life. But Tesla had a great softer side to them as well, too, the musicians in the band. And they put out a live acoustic album which is called Five man acoustical jam. And they do Beatles covers and it's just a fight. It's what it says on the tin. Five guys playing acoustically and it's just phenomenal tracks except. And then obviously tracks off mechanical resonance as well. So Tesla is one of the tees that I could not have left out. [00:45:31] Speaker B: Matthew, good shout. Very good shout indeed. Well, I'm going to sort of stay in that era. You mentioned Wobbam earlier, Tiger Penny. [00:45:45] Speaker A: Do they really? [00:45:47] Speaker B: Yes, indeed he did. As a trigger for me to talk about someone or a band related to New Orleans. Well, if there wasn't Tigers of Pentagon, there'd be no John Sykes, of course. And you wouldn't have kind of, you know. [00:46:02] Speaker A: That's very true. [00:46:03] Speaker B: Hijacked him and taken him to thin Lizzie and then you wouldn't have kind of tried to get a three pickup blacklist, Paul, etc. Etc. The rest is history, which you probably have in your home studio there. There is tags of Pentagon. Yes, we talked about them. Did some good albums. Spellbound crazy nights which is pretty good. Sadly didn't quite get the commercial peak that they should have done particularly since after John Sykes left. And famously Rob Weir, who's the only remaining member of Turks and Pentagon in his sixties, now works as a. On the trains. [00:46:45] Speaker A: He does indeed. [00:46:46] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. There was an article I forget where it was now. I read it somewhere. But Rob Weir famously is. Plays with Tigers of Pantang 1 minute and next days he's working on as a. I think he's like a station what they call those like train assistants now on those kind of intercity runs up and down the country. So yeah, look out for Rob Weir if you're ever on a London to Newcastle train. It could be. You could be. Take your vinyl with you just in case you there to sign it in between selling donuts and coffees and stuff. Anyway, the other. The other band from that era which I want to mention very quickly, trust. Now of course they weren't english, they were french. So they were from the. From Nfwabum. The new wave of french heavy metal. I think I've pronounced that correctly. I just made that up essentially. Could change to newframe. It's a trust. I love trust. Fronted by Bernard Beauvoisin and the Kreef brothers. I see. And famously Nico McBrain played in trust before he went to join Iron Maiden in 19. 82. 83. So yeah, I saw trust a couple of times supporting Maiden on the Killers tour. But they were the first band I ever saw live strangely enough, on that tour. My first ever gig. And then as a few weeks later, specifically on the 24 May 1981. Don't ask me. I remember the date. I'll come on to that another time. I saw the trust's headlining in the University of East Anglia in Norwich. So. [00:48:17] Speaker A: Trust. [00:48:17] Speaker B: Yes. Part of the. Part of newfab anyway, whatever it was. [00:48:23] Speaker A: So this is a band that's definitely not in new Fobham and total. [00:48:30] Speaker B: Ah yes. [00:48:31] Speaker A: Yeah. Gotta mention toto. Yeah. The pop rock band of the seventies, eighties and just seem to be getting much more of a revival. It seems like every man and his dog seems to be covering doing a cover of Africa which brings a lot more shekels into the total coffers. Not really. They're not really a recording entity anymore. Steve, look at our gone on record to say there'll be no more studio albums. But they currently. They do come across to Europe. They're playing in Europe right at this moment in time and they're coming back to the UK next year and they are playing more than just London. I hope so. Toto is one of those bands. I'll put loads of stuff on the playlist for Toto. Don't worry about that. [00:49:23] Speaker B: Oh, you in charge of playlists now? [00:49:25] Speaker A: No, no, no, I'm. No, no, I will. I will provide a cool. A cool crediting playlist. Architecture. [00:49:34] Speaker B: Okay. All right. But it's a band you like. You get involved with that when you don't care. You don't care, do you? Well, that's charming. That is charming. Right. Notable mentions. We saw these wicked rivers a few weeks ago. You mentioned them earlier. Force of nature, great albumen. The Tragically hip. One of my favorite bands out of Canada, fronted by the late, great Gord Downey. Sadly lost him a couple of years ago to range humor. Fantastic band. I put some tragedy hip on my part of the playlist. And there's a band bride that we can make out of. We'll come back to bands in a minute, but we can make a band out of people with surname Taylor. Would you like me to walk you through it? [00:50:19] Speaker A: Absolutely. I'll be Taylor Swift. Is Taylor Swift on guitar? [00:50:23] Speaker B: Yeah, she. Well, she's doing everything. She's. Her really. It's basically Taylor Swift. No, she would be in the esses. [00:50:30] Speaker A: Okay, I'll get it. I'll get it by the end. [00:50:33] Speaker B: So on, two drummers going for the late, great filthy Phil, filthy animal Taylor, motorhead with Roger Taylor from Queen. [00:50:42] Speaker A: Not Joanne drums. [00:50:44] Speaker B: Well, you could have John Roger Taylor from Joe Duran as well, of course, but I've got. With the Roger Taylor from Queen. You could have also have Rufus Tiger Taylor from the darkness. I think that's how we do it a little bit. We'll have on the bass guitar, John Taylor from Durant. Pretty good bass player. [00:51:04] Speaker A: Fabulous bass player. [00:51:05] Speaker B: And he was a power station as well. [00:51:07] Speaker A: He was, yeah, yeah. [00:51:09] Speaker B: Andy Taylor that we talked about last year, actually, with that magnificent album we brought out last year. Andy Taylor on guitar, Corey Taylor from Slipknot and stone sour. [00:51:25] Speaker A: Never would have gone with us. That's a great shot. [00:51:28] Speaker B: And I know you had the Smith band last time, which is a fantastic name. I'm still sort of reeling how magnificent anion was. I'm going with tailor made. There you go, the tailors. Three drummers. How about that? That's going to make some racket. What else you got? Exactly. What else you got. Prince Brian. They can't play your local pub, though. Can you imagine them setting up under the dartboard? All those drum kits. Sorry. Yes, go ahead. [00:52:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Notable mentions for me, a great, great american band who I loved in the nineties. I'll move out of the eighties for a little bit. This is one of the greatest names of a band ever. Toad de wet sprocket. [00:52:13] Speaker B: Oh, yes. Magnificent. [00:52:15] Speaker A: Yeah, they. They had a great album called Dulce and Dulcinea. Apologies if that's not the pronounced right pronunciation, but great, great band. Glenn Phillips, who's the lead singer, still active, still playing. And whenever there's sort of the alternative rock package deals that go out with, you know, three doors down, Weezer, all, you know, the offspring, you'll usually see toad de wet sprocket somewhere and amongst the bill. And then a couple of. Couple of super grips. Matt, it wouldn't be me. Not to mention a couple of super grips. Them crippled good vultures. [00:52:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:52:58] Speaker A: Still a few little rumors kicking about that they might. I think Dave's desperately trying to get Josh to commit to maybe doing something with John Paul Jones and the other supergroup that I mentioned. Whether this is a super group or a project, I don't know, was Temple of the dog, which was put together following the demise of mother Lord, born's lead singer, Andrew Wood. Yeah. [00:53:27] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, I've got another super group, actually. I thought you're gonna say traffic. [00:53:32] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it was Stevie Woodward. [00:53:34] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. Magnificent. What a singer. Stevie Woodward. Oh, fantastic. So a couple. Couple more from me real quick. And thanks to everyone who contributed on Facebook, of course, as usual. Makes her. Makes her life a lot easier. T Rex, fronted by the late, great Mark Bowen. Of course. Tool. Not much about tool, but I'm sure they're pretty good. Train, you like them, don't you? [00:53:55] Speaker A: I love train. [00:53:56] Speaker B: Drops of Jupiter and all that. Fantastic. We have got trapeze. We talked about Glenn Hughes earlier. Ben Hughes, Mel Galley. Were both late. Great. Mel Galley and Dave Holland. They wanted to work with Judas Priest. Terravision talked about toto, tenacious D. We're gonna put. We're gonna have to put tribute, of course, another T tribute. So we'll put that on triumph. We talked about them a couple of times. The other three piece from Canada, albums wise, and we got Robert albums wise and performers wise. We've got tests for echo by Rush, 20 112 by Rush, tango in the night by Fleetwood Mac, Tommy by the who, ten by Pearl Jam. Do you remember why they called ten or why they called it ten? Brian Nookie, Mookie Blaylocks. Number wasn't. [00:54:58] Speaker A: Okay, fair enough. [00:55:00] Speaker B: All right. Tico Torres, Robert Trujillo, Ben Tipton, magnificent Glenn Tipton from Judas priest and many more. Pat Travis, Pat thrall. There's loads. Got any others, Brian, you want to mention? [00:55:14] Speaker A: I think your list is very comprehensive. The only one I would add in, and it would be remiss of us, not to mention this band is twisted sister. I remember seeing Twisted Sister on the tube in the early eighties and all of their glam regalia singing I am, I'm me and then we're not going to take it. The album stay hungry is phenomenal. And the fact that I think, does it go down in either Donington or reading folklore where Twisted Sister are playing and they're just getting so much debris chucked at them during the festival that I think Dee Snider basically said, okay, why don't. Why don't, you know, after the performance, if you don't like us, come backstage and let's. We'll have it out. He basically called, was it Donington? [00:56:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I was there. Terrifying. He threatened. He basically said, like, all of you, come backstage, I love you. I'll take you all on. [00:56:21] Speaker A: And he was, yeah. [00:56:22] Speaker B: And I for one was terrified. I thought, oh, I don't know, I'm fine. I didn't throw anything, of course. [00:56:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:56:28] Speaker B: But, yeah, twisted sister. [00:56:29] Speaker A: And the other side of Dee Snider that I love is whenever he represented the rock community in the Tipper Gore PMRC, where they were trying to ban lots and lots of bands and twisters sister were, had made it onto the filthy 15 of the tracks that were going to be banned. And he came on with Frank Zappa. And yes, he was in his rock gear, but he was so he was quoting. He was quoting parts of the, you know, just, you know, law back to timber Gore and he was tying them up in knots and you just kind of go, I've always had a soft spot for Dee snider and twisted sister. Great band. [00:57:16] Speaker B: Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, that was it. That was tea. [00:57:19] Speaker A: Yes. [00:57:20] Speaker B: Next time, if my knowledge of the Alphabet doesn't let me down, it's the letter u. [00:57:28] Speaker A: Excellent. So that will be a double double deluxe episode whilst we do a full in depth track by track of strangers in the night by UFO, where Matt talks us through. Yeah, well, I look forward to already. [00:57:41] Speaker B: All seven discs of the deluxe version come out a couple years ago. Indeed. So that brings us to hidden gems eyes. Thanks, Lola, as always. So wake up for Spry. [00:57:59] Speaker A: So one of our listeners and contributors to our facebook page, your mate rich. [00:58:07] Speaker B: Yep. [00:58:08] Speaker A: Rich put on a band to include in the teas TNT. [00:58:13] Speaker B: Hmm. [00:58:14] Speaker A: Who were gain were in that glam hair metal bands. But I haven't picked a track by TNT. I haven't picked an album that would be just too easy. But one of the, one of their contemporaries in the mid eighties, which came up around the time of White lion. Remember White lion? We'll do that in the ws when we get bored. Talking about David, there's a great band that came out in the late eighties called Shark island. So Shark Island. Shark Island. I know you laugh. Where does Brian pull these? [00:58:52] Speaker B: I know where to get exactly that. Where do you get these from? Shark Island. [00:58:56] Speaker A: Shark island. Well, there's the story. So Shark island, the. So Shark Island, a great band. And it came out of the mid eighties. They, they didn't, you know, their, the album that came out, um. The album that came out that we'll put on, which is law of the order mat, starts off with a track called Paris Colin. It is your quintessential eighties glam metal great singer histrionics on the, on the guitar, Allah Noonan Bettencorn, all that kind of stuff. But where they go down in history is that they actually, where I know them from is they had two tracks on the bill and Ted's. Excellent. They had on the soundtrack that someone. So when you went out and bought the soundtrack and it had all of the bill and Ted stuff, there was two Shark island tracks on it. So you go, oh, who's this band? So I checked them out. So my hidden gem, if you want to go and check them out on social media, I'll find. Probably find it hard to buy it in cd is law of the order from 1989 from the great band Shark island. So rich. Thanks very much for the TNT, which took me to Shark island. [01:00:14] Speaker B: That was great. [01:00:15] Speaker A: What you got? [01:00:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Excellent. Wow. I'm still dumbfounded by Shark island, to be honest with you. Did we talk about the nickelback documentary already on this, I think we call a podcast. I think we do think we did. Yeah. Because I watched it the weekend. I recommend everyone watch it. Watches it. By the way, it's called love to hate. I think love to hate. I was gonna have that as a hidden gem, but then I thought, I think we've already talked about it. However, I'm gonna go for a band called that we already touched upon called trust. Now, as I say, I saw them back in the day, and their album repression from 1981. We may have had it as a hidden gem before, if we have apologies, but I absolutely love that album. It's been recently remastered or relatively recently remastered. Sounds much better than the original. Very political, very of its time, as I say, fronted by the charismatic Bernard Bon Vasant, and they were the forefront of the nufobum. I'm still not sure if that works, to be honest with you. Anyway, the new wave of french heavy. [01:01:27] Speaker A: Metal, you are the new Jeff Barton. You've now. You've now created a retrospective metal genre. [01:01:36] Speaker B: Well, possibly, possibly. But yeah, trust the album repression. It's got anti social on it, which was covered subsequently by anthrax. You forgot them as well for a minute. And yeah, it's quite political. It's got songs like Mister comedy, death instinct in the name of the race and so on. My favorite song in it, and I used to practice this when I was doing my french show level, is a song in French called Le Mitard, which is about Jack Mazarin, who was a character, an underworld character in the seventies in France. But anyway, repression by trust. Hidden gem, this episode. There you go. Merci. Au revoir, mon amihe. [01:02:20] Speaker A: Brian le bibliothec juve un tas to tear. [01:02:29] Speaker B: I can do.
