00:03:13,019 say I had the music in me but uh there 62 00:03:17,390 --> 00:03:14,879 was that and then also but my dad and my 63 00:03:20,210 --> 00:03:17,400 mom loved horror movies and scary books 64 00:03:22,729 --> 00:03:20,220 and things like that so I was always 65 00:03:25,130 --> 00:03:22,739 um indulged in those things too 66 00:03:27,649 --> 00:03:25,140 um I remember my dad letting me

probably where it all started and my mom 73 00:03:43,789 --> 00:03:42,000 loved to read Stephen King so I got to 74 00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:43,799 read a lot of those books when I was 75 00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:45,599 probably far too young of course read 76 00:03:52,369 --> 00:03:49,680 Helter Skelter and Hollywood Babylon and 77 00:03:55,970 --> 00:03:52,379 all those books that were um you know 78 00:03:59,570 --> 00:03:55,980 popular than the true crime books now uh 79 00:04:03,670 --> 00:03:59,580 were you were you exposed 80 00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:03,680 um were you exposed a lot into the

did that did that 84 00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:14,879 dominate things or did you venture I 85 00:04:19,969 --> 00:04:16,639 said it 86 00:04:20,810 --> 00:04:19,979 and and other into other types of rock 87 00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:20,820 and roll 88 00:04:25,010 --> 00:04:23,340 oh to be honest you know when you're a 89 00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:25,020 kid and you're growing up your parents 90 00:04:30,290 --> 00:04:28,320 are just totally uncool so to me you 91 00:04:32,210 --> 00:04:30,300 know the ventures weren't Led Zeppelin 92 00:04:34,370 --> 00:04:32,220 say I mean that was my

so I didn't fully appreciate the 96 00:04:44,210 --> 00:04:41,520 ventures until I got older and then 97 00:04:46,249 --> 00:04:44,220 really came into the full flower of 98 00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:46,259 appreciation through making the 99 00:04:49,310 --> 00:04:48,360 documentary because I interviewed so 100 00:04:51,950 --> 00:04:49,320 many 101 00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:51,960 um musicians

00:04:58,800 a big fan of the Venture so I 105 00:05:01,189 --> 00:05:00,240 interviewed a lot of people and they 106 00:05:03,290 --> 00:05:01,199 also 107 00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:03,300 um were just so effusive in their love 108 00:05:09,890 --> 00:05:06,960 and appreciation of the ventures and how 109 00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:09,900 um the band really got them to pick up 110 00:05:14,090 --> 00:05:12,240 the guitar and to love it and I learned 111 00:05:16,610 --> 00:05:14,100 a lot through actually the interviewees 112 00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:16,620 so even while I was making the film 113 00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:17,280 um 114 00:05:20,990 --> 00:05:19,199 just gained a different level of 115 00:05:22,909 --> 00:05:21,000 appreciation for the ventures and what 116 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:22,919 they did for rock music and the bands 117 00:05:30,170 --> 00:05:26,639 that I loved I mean even Anthrax is uh 118 00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:30,180 you know loves the Venture Scott Ian uh

and said you know 122 00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:39,060 the ventures have done so much for 123 00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:42,720 thrash metal and so uh it was really 124 00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:45,120 great to

00:06:30,479 and and so I'm flipping through I'm like 140 00:06:36,590 --> 00:06:34,259 how many albums can a band make 141 00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:36,600 right right there's all these Ventures 142 00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:38,160 and 143 00:06:43,809 --> 00:06:40,800 um me being a guitar player uh I was 144 00:06:49,070 --> 00:06:43,819 very young uh started listening to it 145 00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:49,080 and the my Venture story is this 146 00:06:55,189 --> 00:06:53,039 the guitar tones were different 147 00:06:57,290 --> 00:06:55,199 and that's what caught me that caught me 148 00:06:59,330 --> 00:06:57,300 very early on this was it was a 149 00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:59,340 percussive thing it was an aggressive 150 00:07:04,909 --> 00:07:00,960 thing 151 00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:04,919 um it was uh and gnarly is the word I'm 152 00:07:10,309 --> 00:07:06,960 looking for right there was this thing 153 00:07:13,309 --> 00:07:10,319 about attacking the strings and and 154 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:13,319 getting toned that way and I heard that 155 00:07:19,129 --> 00:07:17,039 and I've never changed and I think a lot 156 00:07:21,409 --> 00:07:19,139 of guitar players will will actually 157 00:07:24,350 --> 00:07:21,419 talk about that exact thing it's about 158 00:07:26,570 --> 00:07:24,360 you know the the right hand has so much 159 00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:26,580 effect on tone and that's what the 160 00:07:30,589 --> 00:07:28,560 ventures did and and you could hear it 161 00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:30,599 on nearly every track 162 00:07:36,589 --> 00:07:33,840 right I mean dick Dickerson who um has 163 00:07:38,749 --> 00:07:36,599 Ventures Mania among his many groups um 164 00:07:41,809 --> 00:07:38,759 he was in the documentary also talking 165 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:41,819 about how Noki Edwards is really a punk 166 00:07:47,570 --> 00:07:44,400 guitarist and he was punk in the early 167 00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:47,580 60s and he you know he uh referenced 168 00:07:54,650 --> 00:07:50,400 quite a few different concerts but um 169 00:07:57,409 --> 00:07:54,660 the ventures in Japan 1966 is like a 170 00:07:58,909 --> 00:07:57,419 really bombastic you know hard concert 171 00:08:00,890 --> 00:07:58,919 and a lot of people think of the 172 00:08:02,870 --> 00:08:00,900 ventures you know with Hawaii 5-0 or 173 00:08:05,570 --> 00:08:02,880 something like that that's kind of light 174 00:08:08,570 --> 00:08:05,580 in an earworm and fun to listen to but 175 00:08:13,730 --> 00:08:08,580 there are some songs that are are really 176 00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:13,740 um rock it's hard it's hardcore and punk 177 00:08:18,110 --> 00:08:15,840 is the right word 178 00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:18,120 um and if you go back to a lot of that 179 00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:20,160 early surf stuff 180 00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:22,800 um you know I'll tell you I'm going to 181 00:08:29,210 --> 00:08:25,139 say this 182 00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:29,220 um Pulp Fiction did more to expose the 183 00:08:37,310 --> 00:08:33,680 attitude of that right to the masses and 184 00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:37,320 this Eerie thing that's aggressive now 185 00:08:41,510 --> 00:08:39,779 you're right it can be ear candy that's 186 00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:41,520 how you want to perceive it but really 187 00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,560 underlying there is a definite attitude 188 00:08:50,449 --> 00:08:48,480 yeah absolutely and one of the things 189 00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:50,459 that was brought up again and again when 190 00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:52,500 I was conducting the interviews was the 191 00:08:55,070 --> 00:08:54,000 fact that 192 00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,080 um you know even though there may be 193 00:09:00,110 --> 00:08:57,839 fancier guitar players like um Jimi 194 00:09:02,329 --> 00:09:00,120 Hendrix or you know Yngwie Malmsteen or 195 00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:02,339 Ed Van Halen somebody like that 196 00:09:06,650 --> 00:09:04,800 um young guitarist really 197 00:09:08,690 --> 00:09:06,660 sort of gravitate toward the ventures 198 00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:08,700 because there are no vocals to get in 199 00:09:13,490 --> 00:09:10,860 the way of the purity of the guitar and 200 00:09:15,470 --> 00:09:13,500 the music and that's really how 201 00:09:17,150 --> 00:09:15,480 um they've kind of LED quite a few 202 00:09:19,790 --> 00:09:17,160 people that wanted to learn how to play 203 00:09:22,670 --> 00:09:19,800 guitar just through by ear basically but 204 00:09:24,829 --> 00:09:22,680 they also had um learn how to play 205 00:09:27,230 --> 00:09:24,839 guitar with the ventures albums I think 206 00:09:28,970 --> 00:09:27,240 they had three of them in the top 100 of 207 00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:28,980

00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:37,140 let me let me ask you this 211 00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:40,640 um your dad being who he is 212 00:09:46,610 --> 00:09:45,120 did they did your parents uh have a 213 00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:46,620 ghost in the house 214 00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:48,959 did you ever talk to them about these 215 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:52,080 subjects ghost of course yeah I mean 216 00:09:57,230 --> 00:09:54,480 well my parents divorced when I was very 217 00:09:59,150 --> 00:09:57,240 young and my dad was actually married I 218 00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:59,160 think eight times I kind of lost count 219 00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:00,240 but 220 00:10:08,870 --> 00:10:04,560 saw you know my dad as I was growing up 221 00:10:12,530 --> 00:10:08,880 but um yes in that uh late 70s early 80s 222 00:10:15,050 --> 00:10:12,540 he had a girlfriend named Debbie and 223 00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:15,060 um she actually died in his house on New 224 00:10:18,590 --> 00:10:16,560 Year's Eve 225 00:10:21,170 --> 00:10:18,600 um turned out that she had an ectopic 226 00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:21,180 pregnancy that burst and it was just a 227 00:10:24,889 --> 00:10:22,560 really tragic thing 228 00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:24,899 um and it was awful she was wrapping 229 00:10:30,170 --> 00:10:26,880 presents in front of the Christmas tree 230 00:10:32,329 --> 00:10:30,180 and that's ruptured and she died but um 231 00:10:34,070 --> 00:10:32,339 in the years to follow this was in his 232 00:10:36,410 --> 00:10:34,080 house in Sherman Oaks which wasn't far 233 00:10:38,090 --> 00:10:36,420 from Tom Petty he was kind of he was a 234 00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:38,100 neighbor Glen Campbell was a neighbor so 235 00:10:42,110 --> 00:10:40,560 it was really that kind of hilly area of 236 00:10:45,829 --> 00:10:42,120 Sherman Oaks 237 00:10:48,350 --> 00:10:45,839 um and so the house was haunted we all 238 00:10:51,290 --> 00:10:48,360 sort of came to believe my dad had a 239 00:10:53,389 --> 00:10:51,300 pool room downstairs and you would hear 240 00:10:54,829 --> 00:10:53,399 like the pool balls going in the middle 241 00:10:56,509 --> 00:10:54,839 of the night and it would sound like 242 00:10:58,430 --> 00:10:56,519 someone was playing pool and you'd go 243 00:11:00,110 --> 00:10:58,440 downstairs and that they would be the 244 00:11:02,569 --> 00:11:00,120 balls would be out on the table but 245 00:11:04,250 --> 00:11:02,579 nobody would be there and so we all kind 246 00:11:06,009 --> 00:11:04,260 of thought it must be Debbie just kind 247 00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:06,019 of letting us know she was still there 248 00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:12,240 still with us the what what I have found 249 00:11:18,889 --> 00:11:16,620 is that musicians uh I'm a musician I've 250 00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:18,899 got uh most of my friends are musicians 251 00:11:24,050 --> 00:11:20,940 and certainly my career was in the music 252 00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:24,060 business so at one point everybody that 253 00:11:28,370 --> 00:11:26,399 I knew was a musician but I didn't talk 254 00:11:34,490 --> 00:11:28,380 about this stuff with them 255 00:11:38,449 --> 00:11:34,500 and as uh my my life moved on and I 256 00:11:40,310 --> 00:11:38,459 started uh my career in broadcasting my 257 00:11:42,590 --> 00:11:40,320 musician friends started to reach back 258 00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:42,600 out to me church I didn't know you were 259 00:11:48,009 --> 00:11:45,360 into this stuff let me tell you a story 260 00:11:52,970 --> 00:11:48,019 right and it just turns out that 261 00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:52,980 everybody and I think it has to do with 262 00:11:58,370 --> 00:11:56,399 creativity you know the open mind 263 00:12:01,250 --> 00:11:58,380 um and other things because you can take 264 00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:01,260 yourself into a meditative State when 265 00:12:05,569 --> 00:12:02,880 you're writing and practicing and 266 00:12:08,990 --> 00:12:05,579 Performing and that opens you up to 267 00:12:10,970 --> 00:12:09,000 things that normies don't necessarily 268 00:12:13,069 --> 00:12:10,980 get to experience do you find that to be 269 00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:13,079 true 270 00:12:16,370 --> 00:12:15,120 um I don't know I mean I did definitely 271 00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:16,380 do 272 00:12:20,630 --> 00:12:18,000 um I've known of course about Jimmy 273 00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:20,640 Page's interest in the occult and David 274 00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:24,000 Bowie's interest in Aleister Crowley of 275 00:12:28,009 --> 00:12:25,680 course I mean there was a satanic panic 276 00:12:28,910 --> 00:12:28,019 in the 80s so that kind of opened up a 277 00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:28,920 lot of 278 00:12:34,730 --> 00:12:31,920 um sort of like the negative aspect of 279 00:12:37,130 --> 00:12:34,740 being open to those sorts of things 280 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:37,140 um but I don't I don't know I think I've 281 00:12:40,970 --> 00:12:38,880 like I might have mentioned to you 282 00:12:42,889 --> 00:12:40,980 before that another film that I directed 283 00:12:45,769 --> 00:12:42,899 is called the second Age of Aquarius and 284 00:12:49,550 --> 00:12:45,779 it's about a rock star who joined the 27 285 00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:49,560 club in 1970 and he's kind of you know 286 00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:52,320 he became part of the ethos through his 287 00:12:58,069 --> 00:12:54,720 being electrocuted and kind of went into 288 00:12:59,990 --> 00:12:58,079 the atmosphere and I thought that was 289 00:13:02,389 --> 00:13:00,000 kind of an interesting thing to explore 290 00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:02,399 I do feel though that that being 291 00:13:07,069 --> 00:13:05,279 creative and musical is different maybe 292 00:13:09,889 --> 00:13:07,079 from being 293 00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:09,899 um a word person or a mathematic person 294 00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:13,680 because you're kind of open to muses I 295 00:13:19,550 --> 00:13:16,139 think more when you're doing music and 296 00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:19,560 kind of Freer and more open for those 297 00:13:25,190 --> 00:13:22,740 that don't know uh tell everybody what 298 00:13:29,329 --> 00:13:25,200 the 27 Club is 299 00:13:33,050 --> 00:13:29,339 um that is a club that most people don't 300 00:13:34,730 --> 00:13:33,060 want to be in but it started I think 301 00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:34,740 with that well it kind of really started 302 00:13:40,610 --> 00:13:37,200 with Robert Johnson the bluesman who was 303 00:13:45,769 --> 00:13:40,620 uh apparently or allegedly poisoned in 304 00:13:49,730 --> 00:13:45,779 uh in the 30s he was 27 years old and he 305 00:13:51,949 --> 00:13:49,740 has been sort of the Catalyst for the 306 00:13:54,350 --> 00:13:51,959 legend of the crossroads you know the 307 00:13:56,810 --> 00:13:54,360 going to the crossroads to sell your 308 00:13:59,949 --> 00:13:56,820 soul to the devil for musical talent and 309 00:14:02,449 --> 00:13:59,959 and people said that he was just 310 00:14:04,790 --> 00:14:02,459 inhumanly talented and that's how that 311 00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:04,800 happened so when he died at the age of 312 00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:07,680 27 it apparently set off this Chain 313 00:14:14,629 --> 00:14:11,040 Reaction uh for other extremely talented 314 00:14:17,870 --> 00:14:14,639 musicians to die at that age Brian Jones 315 00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:17,880 was one from the Rolling Stones Jimi 316 00:14:22,670 --> 00:14:20,639 Hendrix Janice Joplin Jim Morrison they 317 00:14:24,350 --> 00:14:22,680 all died within I believe within 10 318 00:14:25,970 --> 00:14:24,360 months of each other at the age of 27 319 00:14:29,829 --> 00:14:25,980 then 320 00:14:32,690 --> 00:14:29,839 um Amy Winehouse died at 27 321 00:14:34,910 --> 00:14:32,700 of course Kurt Cobain but some people 322 00:14:36,889 --> 00:14:34,920 say that he orchestrated that that he 323 00:14:39,769 --> 00:14:36,899 actually did want to be in the 27 Club 324 00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:39,779 so that's open to interpretation but it 325 00:14:43,910 --> 00:14:42,480 is interesting I've always found that 326 00:14:46,610 --> 00:14:43,920 certain 327 00:14:48,170 --> 00:14:46,620 years or dates kind of keep coming up 328 00:14:50,329 --> 00:14:48,180 again and again in my research 329 00:14:51,949 --> 00:14:50,339 especially since I've really been 330 00:14:54,829 --> 00:14:51,959 immersing myself in the rock and roll 331 00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:54,839 nightmares true stories books I found 332 00:15:00,650 --> 00:14:58,320 that December is a very unlucky month 333 00:15:03,790 --> 00:15:00,660 for musicians for whatever reason but 334 00:15:07,129 --> 00:15:03,800 and certain dates like

being filmed Taylor Hawkins dies 414 00:18:40,430 --> 00:18:38,640 yeah that was really 415 00:18:42,169 --> 00:18:40,440 um gosh yeah I mean that was a shock to 416 00:18:44,570 --> 00:18:42,179 everyone I think because he seemed to 417 00:18:47,210 --> 00:18:44,580 have gotten himself back together and 418 00:18:48,890 --> 00:18:47,220 yeah it just seemed like he had 419 00:18:50,390 --> 00:18:48,900 you know everything was going so well 420 00:18:53,930 --> 00:18:50,400 for him but yeah I just saw the movie 421 00:18:55,610 --> 00:18:53,940 Just shortly before he passed away so um 422 00:18:57,890 --> 00:18:55,620 yeah it was really like weird to think 423 00:18:59,930 --> 00:18:57,900 back at the death scene and also I 424 00:19:01,789 --> 00:18:59,940 believe that house is haunted right the 425 00:19:05,210 --> 00:19:01,799 house that they shot it in yeah in 426 00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:05,220 Encino and uh I lived in Sherman Oaks 427 00:19:11,210 --> 00:19:07,740 forever and that Community right there 428 00:19:13,130 --> 00:19:11,220 Encino Tarzana right Studio City uh 429 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:13,140 Sherman Oaks 430 00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:15,600 um we call them by different names but 431 00:19:19,789 --> 00:19:18,000 it's just a tiny little area that you 432 00:19:22,909 --> 00:19:19,799 know it's just divided by streets as you 433 00:19:25,310 --> 00:19:22,919 know and uh as Cena encino's just a 434 00:19:27,409 --> 00:19:25,320 couple blocks away right from Sherman 435 00:19:28,909 --> 00:19:27,419 Oaks it's right up the street yeah but 436 00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:28,919 it does take about an hour to drive 437 00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:30,480 there yeah 438 00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:34,080 play traffic you can walk anywhere 439 00:19:40,970 --> 00:19:37,620 faster than you can drive in the valley 440 00:19:43,130 --> 00:19:40,980 um and it it is Hollywood has changed 441 00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:43,140 and so is Sherman Oaks like back in the 442 00:19:49,490 --> 00:19:46,640 day Sherman Oaks was a sleepy little 443 00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:49,500 especially when I first moved there and 444 00:19:56,330 --> 00:19:52,320 and Hollywood I watched it change too 445 00:19:57,770 --> 00:19:56,340 over the years and a couple of it was 446 00:20:00,350 --> 00:19:57,780 about a month ago 447 00:20:02,750 --> 00:20:00,360 I was uh exactly a month ago I went to 448 00:20:06,529 --> 00:20:02,760 the whiskey uh to go see a friend of 449 00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:06,539 mine's band and uh and so I'm standing 450 00:20:12,350 --> 00:20:09,360 on the corner at uh the whiskey Jordan 451 00:20:14,990 --> 00:20:12,360 Zips band hot crazy band it's a it's 452 00:20:16,430 --> 00:20:15,000 it's a really hot crazy band so I'm 453 00:20:18,650 --> 00:20:16,440 standing on the corner of the whiskey 454 00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:18,660 and I used to live on that corner of 455 00:20:25,850 --> 00:20:22,320 Clark and uh uh Sunset Boulevard 456 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:25,860 and I'm looking up towards Gil Turner's 457 00:20:34,490 --> 00:20:28,799 and thinking to myself how different 458 00:20:36,049 --> 00:20:34,500 this is because from 1980 until 1990 459 00:20:36,950 --> 00:20:36,059 there was ten thousand people on that 460 00:20:40,850 --> 00:20:36,960 sidewalk 461 00:20:44,270 --> 00:20:40,860 you know how how packed it was and and 462 00:20:46,250 --> 00:20:44,280 what a different vibe it it is do you 463 00:20:48,470 --> 00:20:46,260 feel the music Vibe is is left Hollywood 464 00:20:50,930 --> 00:20:48,480 or is it still here 465 00:20:52,970 --> 00:20:50,940 um um I don't think it is really I mean 466 00:20:56,210 --> 00:20:52,980 there is one band that I really love 467 00:20:57,950 --> 00:20:56,220 called the Cox that is kind of a gay 468 00:20:59,570 --> 00:20:57,960 punk rock band and they're hilarious 469 00:21:01,370 --> 00:20:59,580 they write really funny lyrics very 470 00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:01,380 talented um but you know that's really 471 00:21:06,110 --> 00:21:03,600 the only band I can think of that's come 472 00:21:08,450 --> 00:21:06,120 up lately that I've really loved um I 473 00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:08,460 find that I've moved to Las Vegas 474 00:21:12,590 --> 00:21:10,799 um in the past three years ago I moved 475 00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:12,600 here and I find that the music scene is 476 00:21:17,090 --> 00:21:14,640 really moving here I'm seeing a lot of 477 00:21:19,430 --> 00:21:17,100 great bands coming up and also musicians 478 00:21:21,169 --> 00:21:19,440 that lived in Hollywood here and and 479 00:21:23,390 --> 00:21:21,179 starting bands and there's a great live 480 00:21:25,370 --> 00:21:23,400 music scene I do feel like it's changed 481 00:21:29,090 --> 00:21:25,380 quite a bit I do remember 482 00:21:31,970 --> 00:21:29,100 back in the 80s going to the rainbow and 483 00:21:33,950 --> 00:21:31,980 the whiskey and the Roxy and gazaris and 484 00:21:35,090 --> 00:21:33,960 you could see a great band any night of 485 00:21:37,070 --> 00:21:35,100 the week 486 00:21:39,169 --> 00:21:37,080 um you know go down to the Troubadour 487 00:21:42,049 --> 00:21:39,179 there'd be even more bands and it just 488 00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:42,059 seems less creative now or maybe it's 489 00:21:47,390 --> 00:21:45,360 just you know more harder to find venues 490 00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:47,400 to play in or people just aren't coming 491 00:21:52,370 --> 00:21:50,400 out like you said uh people it was very 492 00:21:54,529 --> 00:21:52,380 alive it was almost 493 00:21:56,870 --> 00:21:54,539 um new yorkish you know you could walk 494 00:21:59,630 --> 00:21:56,880 down the streets of Sunset Boulevard and 495 00:22:01,730 --> 00:21:59,640 you'd meet see people and you could 496 00:22:04,730 --> 00:22:01,740 people watch they'd be dressed to the 497 00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:04,740 nines but yeah now it's it's quite a 498 00:22:09,890 --> 00:22:06,960 different story it's really people don't 499 00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:09,900 go out as much as they used to yeah it's 500 00:22:15,470 --> 00:22:12,240 empty and you're right about that I mean 501 00:22:17,810 --> 00:22:15,480 it was seven nights a week uh every Club 502 00:22:20,810 --> 00:22:17,820 there you know the whiskey the Roxy 503 00:22:23,330 -->

00:30:52,909 --> 00:30:50,580 and um yeah I interviewed actually Ed 699 00:30:56,330 --> 00:30:52,919 and Lorraine Moore in there for a film 700 00:30:58,250 --> 00:30:56,340 that they were um Consultants on and we 701 00:31:00,830 --> 00:30:58,260 did the interview in the Marilyn Monroe 702 00:31:03,710 --> 00:31:00,840 Suite where apparently she hangs out so 703 00:31:05,810 --> 00:31:03,720 she's she's a mobile ghost anything 704 00:31:08,990 --> 00:31:05,820 happen when we were there 705 00:31:10,850 --> 00:31:09,000 uh no no that didn't but um but like I 706 00:31:13,010 --> 00:31:10,860 said it was kind of eerie though that at 707 00:31:15,370 --> 00:31:13,020 the any interview that I ever did at the 708 00:31:17,930 --> 00:31:15,380 Linda Vista was always 709 00:31:19,370 --> 00:31:17,940 mysteriously garbled or you it just you 710 00:31:22,010 --> 00:31:19,380 never recall you didn't record anything 711 00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:22,020 at all so that was kind of weird yeah 712 00:31:27,110 --> 00:31:24,960 most of my ghost hunting friends 713 00:31:29,630 --> 00:31:27,120 um you know guests on the show they they 714 00:31:31,669 --> 00:31:29,640 talk about that a lot batteries get 715 00:31:33,289 --> 00:31:31,679 interfered with the video gets 716 00:31:35,210 --> 00:31:33,299 interfered with the audio gets 717 00:31:37,610 --> 00:31:35,220 interfered with and it's just something 718 00:31:39,169 --> 00:31:37,620 that they have to you know deal with it 719 00:31:41,330 --> 00:31:39,179 just goes with the territory it goes 720 00:31:42,769 --> 00:31:41,340 with the job of ghost hunting that that 721 00:31:44,269 --> 00:31:42,779 stuff is going to happen so if you're 722 00:31:46,610 --> 00:31:44,279 going to win the Vista or something like 723 00:31:48,230 --> 00:31:46,620 that I could yeah I could see that yeah 724 00:31:49,730 --> 00:31:48,240 it's not so good when you're a reporter 725 00:31:54,490 --> 00:31:49,740 though trying to remember what people 726 00:32:02,269 --> 00:31:59,029 did you get a chance uh uh with Jimmy 727 00:32:05,149 --> 00:32:02,279 Page to to get off the subject of the 728 00:32:06,590 --> 00:32:05,159 ventures and and and and discuss uh 729 00:32:08,690 --> 00:32:06,600 anything paranormal 730 00:32:10,669 --> 00:32:08,700 no you know I don't think he really 731 00:32:13,669 --> 00:32:10,679 wants to talk about Aleister Crowley 732 00:32:15,769 --> 00:32:13,679 anymore he's kind of over it but um no I 733 00:32:17,630 --> 00:32:15,779 didn't but uh but it was interesting 734 00:32:19,549 --> 00:32:17,640 though to do some more research on him 735 00:32:21,350 --> 00:32:19,559 for the for the books 736 00:32:23,810 --> 00:32:21,360 um and to kind of you know he bought the 737 00:32:25,250 --> 00:32:23,820 Equinox bookstore and he ran that for a 738 00:32:26,690 --> 00:32:25,260 while and 739 00:32:28,370 --> 00:32:26,700 um there was of course like the 740 00:32:31,310 --> 00:32:28,380 backwards masking with Stairway to 741 00:32:34,070 --> 00:32:31,320 Heaven the big um to do over that in the 742 00:32:36,830 --> 00:32:34,080 80s I believe and so yeah I think it 743 00:32:38,810 --> 00:32:36,840 kind of burned him out on his enthusiasm 744 00:32:41,090 --> 00:32:38,820 for the Paranormal to talk to anyone 745 00:32:42,649 --> 00:32:41,100 about that sort of thing but um so I did 746 00:32:44,330 --> 00:32:42,659 interview him about the ventures and 747 00:32:47,029 --> 00:32:44,340 then also for 748 00:32:49,730 --> 00:32:47,039 um his Film It Might Get Loud with my 749 00:32:51,769 --> 00:32:49,740 other favorite guitarist Jack White so 750 00:32:54,470 --> 00:32:51,779 that was really quite a wonderful day 751 00:32:56,630 --> 00:32:54,480 for me

00:33:10,679 second I was just going to 758 00:33:17,210 --> 00:33:14,580 uh uh I had a Jimmy Page comment oh oh 759 00:33:21,409 --> 00:33:17,220 um uh yeah that the Aleister Crowley 760 00:33:25,789

--> 00:33:28,860 then it burnt down again I believe in 764 00:33:34,730 --> 00:33:31,559 2014 but it's being rebuilt by an 765 00:33:38,630 --> 00:33:34,740 Aleister Crowley uh acolyte who's 766 00:33:40,549 --> 00:33:38,640 wanting to turn it into a museum now the 767 00:33:42,529 --> 00:33:40,559 um oh oh this is what I was gonna say so 768 00:33:44,810 --> 00:33:42,539 Jimmy Page said 769 00:33:47,649 --> 00:33:44,820 um it's a great interview but it was 770 00:33:50,810 --> 00:33:47,659 this little clip he said so you know 771 00:33:53,509 --> 00:33:50,820 when this backward basking thing came up 772 00:33:55,909 --> 00:33:53,519 and and with Led Zeppelin I just stopped 773 00:33:59,169 --> 00:33:55,919 and said gotta understand it's hard 774 00:34:02,169 --> 00:33:59,179 enough to write songs forward 775 00:34:05,630 --> 00:34:02,179 yeah I think that's brilliant 776 00:34:07,490 --> 00:34:05,640 One Direction let alone two right yeah 777 00:34:10,310 --> 00:34:07,500 yeah yeah I like the way he blew that 778 00:34:13,430 --> 00:34:10,320 off and it made a lot of sense 779 00:34:15,349 --> 00:34:13,440 um but the uh the aspects of this when 780 00:34:17,629 --> 00:34:15,359 we look at you know bands like you know 781 00:34:20,270 --> 00:34:17,639 Black Sabbath or Judas Priest or you 782 00:34:24,230 --> 00:34:20,280 know even Led Zeppelin and these 783 00:34:26,270 --> 00:34:24,240 connections to the the satanic Panic 784 00:34:28,790 --> 00:34:26,280 um it was it was a lot of frustration 785 00:34:30,950 --> 00:34:28,800 put on musicians that weren't asking for 786 00:34:34,369 --> 00:34:30,960 it right oh 787 00:34:37,190 --> 00:34:34,379 there was the um the the case against 788 00:34:40,010 --> 00:34:37,200 Judas Priest for the supposed backward 789 00:34:41,869 --> 00:34:40,020 masking of um that are by you better 790 00:34:43,790 --> 00:34:41,879 than me which isn't even written by them 791 00:34:45,770 --> 00:34:43,800 it was written by Gary Wright of 792 00:34:47,690 --> 00:34:45,780 Dreamweaver fame 793 00:34:49,609 --> 00:34:47,700 um so that song ironically that they 794 00:34:51,470 --> 00:34:49,619 covered and they didn't really even want 795 00:34:53,149 --> 00:34:51,480 to cover it was kind of an afterthought 796 00:34:54,770 --> 00:34:53,159 for that album and they put it on there 797 00:34:56,210 --> 00:34:54,780 and then they kind of ran into this 798 00:34:57,250 --> 00:34:56,220 whole 799 00:35:00,410 --> 00:34:57,260 um 800 00:35:04,070 --> 00:35:00,420 entanglement they had to go to court in 801 00:35:06,770 --> 00:35:04,080 Nevada uh you know against they were 802 00:35:08,329 --> 00:35:06,780 sued by the parents of two young men who 803 00:35:11,990 --> 00:35:08,339 shot themselves in the face after 804 00:35:13,910 --> 00:35:12,000 listening to that song on Loop 805 00:35:15,470 --> 00:35:13,920 um stained class though was the album 806 00:35:16,790 --> 00:35:15,480 and they listened to that and then they 807 00:35:19,130 --> 00:35:16,800 went and shot themselves there's 808 00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:19,140 actually an interesting PBS documentary 809 00:35:22,910 --> 00:35:20,880 that you can find on YouTube and you can 810 00:35:25,550 --> 00:35:22,920 watch the whole thing 811 00:35:28,430 --> 00:35:25,560 um but yeah it was really something that 812 00:35:30,710 --> 00:35:28,440 they didn't ask for they weren't looking 813 00:35:32,990 --> 00:35:30,720 for it they didn't want it to happen and 814 00:35:35,930 --> 00:35:33,000 you know they weren't really recording 815 00:35:38,450 --> 00:35:35,940 any kind of controversy and that that 816 00:35:40,670 --> 00:35:38,460 was a kind of a 817 00:35:42,650 --> 00:35:40,680 unfortunate thing that happened but the 818 00:35:44,589 --> 00:35:42,660 court the court did eventually throw 819 00:35:49,329 --> 00:35:44,599 that case out and there were quite a few 820 00:35:52,430 --> 00:35:49,339 cases around that time I mean um 821 00:35:54,349 --> 00:35:52,440 we had you know he had Tipper Gore and 822 00:35:55,910 --> 00:35:54,359 the labeling and and all of that stuff 823 00:35:59,150 --> 00:35:55,920 that was happening 824 00:36:03,530 --> 00:35:59,160 um I talked to Rob Halford uh at length 825 00:36:05,290 --> 00:36:03,540 about this and he said excuse me 826 00:36:08,510 --> 00:36:05,300 he had said 827 00:36:10,849 --> 00:36:08,520 that that was one of the most traumatic 828 00:36:13,010 --> 00:36:10,859 things he had ever been through in his 829 00:36:16,250 --> 00:36:13,020 life to go into court because you had 830 00:36:19,190 --> 00:36:16,260 these two you know young boys young men 831 00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:19,200 you know kill themselves and that's 832 00:36:25,370 --> 00:36:22,560 tragic enough right there and to listen 833 00:36:26,930 --> 00:36:25,380 to the details of this and And the 834 00:36:28,430 --> 00:36:26,940 emotions from the family and the way 835 00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:28,440 that they try to project it and then put 836 00:36:32,329 --> 00:36:30,240 it back on and he had to sit through 837 00:36:33,829 --> 00:36:32,339 this day he showed up in court he was in 838 00:36:37,190 --> 00:36:33,839 court for all yeah 839 00:36:39,470 --> 00:36:37,200 yeah and KK Downing too yeah yeah and 840 00:36:42,050 --> 00:36:39,480 stuff out in this book I mean it was 841 00:36:44,210 --> 00:36:42,060 awful because the young man who 842 00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:44,220 eventually succumbed to his injuries he 843 00:36:49,190 --> 00:36:46,560 was he lived for a few years with a 844 00:36:51,589 --> 00:36:49,200 horribly disfigured face and you know he 845 00:36:54,170 --> 00:36:51,599 had to have wear a baby bib because his 846 00:36:56,630 --> 00:36:54,180 mouth was so disfigured that he couldn't 847 00:36:58,370 --> 00:36:56,640 you know he was drooling constantly it 848 00:37:00,170 --> 00:36:58,380 was just like he could barely speak and 849 00:37:02,750 --> 00:37:00,180 it was a horrible thing to have to 850 00:37:04,970 --> 00:37:02,760 witness someone you know 851 00:37:06,589 --> 00:37:04,980 that that happened to after listening to 852 00:37:10,250 --> 00:37:06,599 their music I'm sure they had to feel 853 00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:10,260 terrible about it but thankfully the 854 00:37:15,370 --> 00:37:13,440 courts did see things properly and you 855 00:37:19,010 --> 00:37:15,380 know how 856 00:37:22,910 --> 00:37:19,020 bored do you have to be to listen to 857 00:37:25,690

00:37:31,800 right but but that but the thing was 861 00:37:35,270 --> 00:37:33,900 that the the two young men 862 00:37:37,310 --> 00:37:35,280 young men cells they were not listening 863 00:37:39,230 --> 00:37:37,320 to the music backward 864 00:37:41,930 --> 00:37:39,240 a word masking when he played it forward 865 00:37:44,750 --> 00:37:41,940 it said do it do it do it which doesn't 866 00:37:46,790 --> 00:37:44,760 even say to shoot yourself but uh do you 867 00:37:48,530 --> 00:37:46,800 remember the manager um I can't remember 868 00:37:50,630 --> 00:37:48,540 his name but making a comment like hey 869 00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:50,640 if we were gonna put hidden messages in 870 00:37:55,089 --> 00:37:52,880 the music we'd say hey buy seven copies 871 00:37:58,010 --> 00:37:55,099 not kill yourself 872 00:38:01,490 --> 00:37:58,020 I used to listen to that stuff 873 00:38:05,329 --> 00:38:01,500 um there was a a trend of this I'm not 874 00:38:09,710 --> 00:38:05,339 gonna go deep into this but there was a 875 00:38:12,950 --> 00:38:09,720 trend with this um in the 90s and uh not 876 00:38:15,410 --> 00:38:12,960 only in the musics but also outside of 877 00:38:19,250 --> 00:38:15,420 of that too as well in in ghost in the 878 00:38:21,170 --> 00:38:19,260 Paranormal and things and I never I 879 00:38:23,870 --> 00:38:21,180 could never hear it 880 00:38:26,510 --> 00:38:23,880 I could imagine it right you know what I 881 00:38:29,150 --> 00:38:26,520 mean I could I could I could okay all 882 00:38:32,450 --> 00:38:29,160 right kind of but no it it it it it 883 00:38:35,390 --> 00:38:32,460 never sounded like what they said you 884 00:38:37,190 --> 00:38:35,400 know with the power of suggestion that 885 00:38:40,910 --> 00:38:37,200 that's what it was but I no I never 886 00:38:43,490 --> 00:38:40,920 heard it even in even in uh uh the Judas 887 00:38:44,930 --> 00:38:43,500 Priest that do it I no no I didn't hear 888 00:38:47,870 --> 00:38:44,940 that one at all I mean you could kind of 889 00:38:50,329 --> 00:38:47,880 hear my sweet Satan in The Stairway to 890 00:38:52,370 --> 00:38:50,339 Heaven backwards but only if you were 891 00:38:55,970 --> 00:38:52,380 really like straining to and hoping to 892 00:38:59,329 --> 00:38:55,980 hear that I mean smoking weed yeah this 893 00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:02,510 um now uh the other thing that I want to 894 00:39:08,210 --> 00:39:05,280 get uh get to before the break is that 895 00:39:12,130 --> 00:39:08,220 uh to write 896 00:39:16,130 --> 00:39:12,140 um uh everybody has 897 00:39:17,990 --> 00:39:16,140 uh a Pandora's Box thought of getting 898 00:39:21,670 --> 00:39:18,000 stuck into a nightmare that you can't 899 00:39:25,250 --> 00:39:21,680 get out of right and and and and and 900 00:39:28,370 --> 00:39:25,260 that aspect of the ultimate thing that 901 00:39:32,230 --> 00:39:28,380 scares you but you right you are able to 902 00:39:36,470 --> 00:39:35,329 where do you get it where does it come 903 00:39:39,650 --> 00:39:36,480 from 904 00:39:42,650 --> 00:39:39,660 well well I started off writing fiction 905 00:39:44,690 --> 00:39:42,660 horror and also I've always really been 906 00:39:46,849 --> 00:39:44,700 into horror films um so that was 907 00:39:48,589 --> 00:39:46,859 something that I've just the genre I've 908 00:39:52,730 --> 00:39:48,599 always been drawn to but I I think it's 909 00:39:56,870 --> 00:39:52,740 more the psychological aspect than the 910 00:39:58,550 --> 00:39:56,880 actual Gore of it um I want to know why 911 00:40:00,589 --> 00:39:58,560 people do the things they do and that's 912 00:40:03,530 --> 00:40:00,599 really what draws me to True Crime is 913 00:40:06,050 --> 00:40:03,540 the psychological aspect and what brings 914 00:40:07,550 --> 00:40:06,060 people to the things that they do 915 00:40:10,069 --> 00:40:07,560 um so that to me is 916 00:40:12,770 --> 00:40:10,079 you know the psychology of it is what 917 00:40:16,069 --> 00:40:12,780 really draws me do you 918 00:40:18,470 --> 00:40:16,079 um uh there's there's a comparison here 919 00:40:21,829 --> 00:40:18,480 to Tropic Thunder believe it or not okay 920 00:40:24,170 --> 00:40:21,839 now I'm going to type great film 921 00:40:26,990 --> 00:40:24,180 I just watched it I just watched it last 922 00:40:29,030 --> 00:40:27,000 week and uh the there's a director's cut 923 00:40:33,650 --> 00:40:29,040 out 924 00:40:36,109 --> 00:40:33,660 yeah I I it's pretty good yeah the party 925 00:40:39,589 --> 00:40:36,119 scene that yeah that's fully extended 926 00:40:41,329 --> 00:40:39,599 yeah I mean I it's long you know and uh 927 00:40:43,790 --> 00:40:41,339 well anyway 928 00:40:47,510 --> 00:40:43,800 um but that scene uh 929 00:40:50,630 --> 00:40:47,520 uh never never never go all in you never 930 00:40:55,609 --> 00:40:50,640 go all in right yes you're paraphrasing 931 00:40:58,730 --> 00:40:55,619 there but I won't say the words but but 932 00:41:02,450 --> 00:40:58,740 um but that's I I always thought about 933 00:41:04,490 --> 00:41:02,460 with horror writing and and that type of 934 00:41:07,250 --> 00:41:04,500 thing that you have to get into the 935 00:41:10,250 --> 00:41:07,260 character you have to develop the mind 936 00:41:12,410 --> 00:41:10,260 you have to deliver that 937 00:41:17,030 --> 00:41:12,420 is there danger in that did you ever 938 00:41:20,270 --> 00:41:17,040 think about how far uh to go 939 00:41:24,250 --> 00:41:20,280 um no I don't write extreme horror 940 00:41:28,550 --> 00:41:24,260 um but I do I love to kind of look into 941 00:41:30,410 --> 00:41:28,560 kind of the the Black Mirror if you will 942 00:41:33,050 --> 00:41:30,420 um some of the rock and roll nightmares 943 00:41:35,750 --> 00:41:33,060 books are fictional so it's really fun 944 00:41:38,450 --> 00:41:35,760 to kind of put yourself into that 945 00:41:41,089 --> 00:41:38,460 mindset of the rock stars world and the 946 00:41:44,450 --> 00:41:41,099 dark arts that go with it 947 00:41:47,089 --> 00:41:44,460 um so it's fun to dip into that but you 948 00:41:49,790 --> 00:41:47,099 know like I say on my Twitter profile 949 00:41:51,430 --> 00:41:49,800 not a serial killer despite my search 950 00:41:54,470 --> 00:41:51,440 history 951 00:41:59,510 --> 00:41:54,480 so yeah I think if anything it makes you 952 00:42:02,569 --> 00:41:59,520 you know kind of uh go the other way so 953 00:42:05,270 --> 00:42:02,579 um you know what I do is that I give 954 00:42:07,069 --> 00:42:05,280 money to charity for anyone who buys uh 955 00:42:09,650 --> 00:42:07,079 rock and roll nightmares books a portion 956 00:42:12,230 --> 00:42:09,660 of the proceeds goes to charity the 957 00:42:14,089 --> 00:42:12,240 sweet relief musicians fun so I feel 958 00:42:16,190 --> 00:42:14,099 like I'm kind of keeping my karmic 959 00:42:18,770 --> 00:42:16,200 checks and balances in order by doing 960 00:42:23,450 --> 00:42:18,780 doing that yeah I've often thought about 961 00:42:27,230 --> 00:42:24,890 I but um 962 00:42:30,290 --> 00:42:27,240 bring kind of my 963 00:42:32,210 --> 00:42:30,300 kind of

00:43:57,599 internet now but you know when you think 996 00:44:04,430 --> 00:44:01,140 about the Lions and the Christians you 997 00:44:07,370 --> 00:44:04,440 know the the Romans watching people you 998 00:44:10,130 --> 00:44:07,380 die or the the Salem Witch Trials where 999 00:44:12,410 --> 00:44:10,140 there would be massive crowds to watch 1000 00:44:14,870 --> 00:44:12,420 The Witches be

00:44:35,099 of questions very difficult to answer 1010 00:44:38,809 --> 00:44:37,140 right no Witnesses nothing like that 1011 00:44:40,089 --> 00:44:38,819 definitely yeah there's some really 1012 00:44:43,130 --> 00:44:40,099 strange 1013 00:44:44,990 --> 00:44:43,140 questions around that can we can we talk 1014 00:44:47,390 --> 00:44:45,000 about that are you comfortable 1015 00:44:50,210 --> 00:44:47,400 oh I'm not an expert on it 1016 00:44:52,730 --> 00:44:50,220 um I I'm I'm not sure how I feel about 1017 00:44:55,190 --> 00:44:52,740 you know the whole Courtney conspiracy 1018 00:44:57,290 --> 00:44:55,200 theory part of it 1019 00:45:00,530 --> 00:44:57,300 um I don't know I mean I kind of am 1020 00:45:02,569 --> 00:45:00,540 leaning more toward the fact that or the 1021 00:45:04,130 --> 00:45:02,579 belief that he did commit suicide that's 1022 00:45:07,250 --> 00:45:04,140 what I'm thinking 1023 00:45:09,589 --> 00:45:07,260 how and why 1024 00:45:11,990 --> 00:45:09,599 um well because he was a drug addict 1025 00:45:14,329 --> 00:45:12,000 that and I do call them mind altering 1026 00:45:16,390 --> 00:45:14,339 substances for a reason you may do 1027 00:45:19,970 --> 00:45:16,400 things that you wouldn't 1028 00:45:22,190 --> 00:45:19,980 ordinarily do really depression can put 1029 00:45:23,510 --> 00:45:22,200 people in a horrible mindset I mean I 1030 00:45:26,030 --> 00:45:23,520 think about 1031 00:45:28,010 --> 00:45:26,040 um Robin Williams who's another person 1032 00:45:30,890 --> 00:45:28,020 that I interviewed multiple times always 1033 00:45:33,290 --> 00:45:30,900 seemed so bright and on and really 1034 00:45:35,690 --> 00:45:33,300 connected and how could he kill himself 1035 00:45:38,329 --> 00:45:35,700 he had children you know I mean there's 1036 00:45:40,790 --> 00:45:38,339 so many things to live for but 1037 00:45:42,829 --> 00:45:40,800 depression really makes people believe 1038 00:45:45,170 --> 00:45:42,839 that they're doing their loved ones a 1039 00:45:48,530 --> 00:45:45,180 favor by taking themselves out of the 1040 00:45:49,370 --> 00:45:48,540 equation it's such a 1041 00:45:51,829 --> 00:45:49,380 um 1042 00:45:54,470 --> 00:45:51,839 it's unrelatable to me I can't imagine 1043 00:45:56,750 --> 00:45:54,480 being in that sort of mindset but um 1044 00:45:58,370 --> 00:45:56,760 depression really does chemically alter 1045 00:46:02,030 --> 00:45:58,380 your brain and it makes you think things 1046 00:46:05,870 --> 00:46:02,040 that are not true your mind lies to you 1047 00:46:08,390 --> 00:46:05,880 yeah that's true and and then when I put 1048 00:46:11,630 --> 00:46:08,400 myself in the mind of 1049 00:46:14,450 --> 00:46:11,640 of the way that that the situation that 1050 00:46:17,150 --> 00:46:14,460 you you've got a a newborn child 1051 00:46:20,089 --> 00:46:17,160 you are changing rock and roll and world 1052 00:46:22,329 --> 00:46:20,099 history you're admired you're certainly 1053 00:46:25,430 --> 00:46:22,339 not worrying about money anymore 1054 00:46:28,849 --> 00:46:25,440 what is it you know there's something 1055 00:46:31,010 --> 00:46:28,859 else going on there and that's the part 1056 00:46:32,990 --> 00:46:31,020 that you know it opens up the the 1057 00:46:36,050 --> 00:46:33,000 conspiracy theories you know behind 1058 00:46:38,210 --> 00:46:36,060 something like that and I've never I've 1059 00:46:41,569 --> 00:46:38,220 never quite resolved it I mean how 1060 00:46:43,790 --> 00:46:41,579 tragic you know and and suicide is it's 1061 00:46:46,309 --> 00:46:43,800 you know that's something else that is 1062 00:46:48,829 --> 00:46:46,319 is is talking to you and unless you're 1063 00:46:51,410 --> 00:46:48,839 going through it we don't we don't know 1064 00:46:53,329 --> 00:46:51,420 what that is I do not suffer from 1065 00:46:55,790 --> 00:46:53,339 depression so I can't possibly 1066 00:46:58,910 --> 00:46:55,800 understand what that feels like but I 1067 00:47:00,890 --> 00:46:58,920 try to understand through research and 1068 00:47:04,390 --> 00:47:00,900 talking to people that have been 1069 00:47:06,829 --> 00:47:04,400 depressed and certainly uh psychologist 1070 00:47:09,349 --> 00:47:06,839 psychiatrist I try to learn all that I 1071 00:47:12,109 --> 00:47:09,359 can about it but you know my grandfather 1072 00:47:14,150 --> 00:47:12,119 my dad's dad committed suicide he killed 1073 00:47:18,290 --> 00:47:14,160 himself um my mom's brother killed 1074 00:47:21,470 --> 00:47:18,300 himself self he shot himself he was sick 1075 00:47:23,150 --> 00:47:21,480 you know he was terminally ill so you 1076 00:47:24,710 --> 00:47:23,160 know there are various reasons why 1077 00:47:26,809 --> 00:47:24,720 people do these things 1078 00:47:28,790 --> 00:47:26,819 um some thing that I've never considered 1079 00:47:31,550 --> 00:47:28,800 never thought about but I try to be 1080 00:47:34,190 --> 00:47:31,560 sympathetic and try to understand the 1081 00:47:36,410 --> 00:47:34,200 mindset but yeah it's really quite 1082 00:47:39,109 --> 00:47:36,420 um quite sad you know when you think 1083 00:47:40,910 --> 00:47:39,119 about it well because the mind you know 1084 00:47:42,650 --> 00:47:40,920 telling you that oh well you know that 1085 00:47:45,470 --> 00:47:42,660 your people are better off without you 1086 00:47:50,690 --> 00:47:45,480 you might as well just check out 1087 00:47:54,950 --> 00:47:50,700 and Chris Cornell yeah Chris Cornell and 1088 00:47:56,870 --> 00:47:54,960 you know I I toured with the guy for the 1089 00:48:00,890 --> 00:47:56,880 better part of a year a little over a 1090 00:48:03,470 --> 00:48:00,900 year and like to think that you know I 1091 00:48:05,510 --> 00:48:03,480 knew him and what a cool guy and a great 1092 00:48:08,870 --> 00:48:05,520 singer and a great talent but the way 1093 00:48:12,530 --> 00:48:08,880 that he did it that was bizarre he just 1094 00:48:15,470 --> 00:48:12,540 he just finished a show I mean yeah 1095 00:48:17,930 --> 00:48:15,480 right yeah that was really odd I I don't 1096 00:48:20,150 --> 00:48:17,940 know and then sometimes there's 1097 00:48:23,450 --> 00:48:20,160 some 1098 00:48:24,230 --> 00:48:23,460 um possibilities like if you think about 1099 00:48:26,569 --> 00:48:24,240 um 1100 00:48:28,849 --> 00:48:26,579 Michael Hutchins you know is that 1101 00:48:31,490 --> 00:48:28,859 auto-erotic asphyxiation did he really 1102 00:48:34,609 --> 00:48:31,500 mean to kill himself but he also you 1103 00:48:37,670 --> 00:48:34,619 know had a lot of uh problems after he 1104 00:48:40,670 --> 00:48:37,680 was in a very bad accident 1105 00:48:42,290 --> 00:48:40,680 um a taxi driver apparently you know hit 1106 00:48:44,030 --> 00:48:42,300 him in the head and he fell and he hit 1107 00:48:45,470 --> 00:48:44,040 his head on the cement he was never the 1108 00:48:47,990 --> 00:48:45,480 same after that 1109 00:48:52,910 --> 00:48:48,000 um he had a traumatic brain injury so 1110 00:48:54,650 --> 00:48:52,920 that might have led him to suicide 1111 00:48:56,870 --> 00:48:54,660 um Janie Lane 1112 00:48:59,030 --> 00:48:56,880 right yeah I mean that was a very 1113 00:49:01,730 --> 00:48:59,040 strange case where 1114 00:49:03,950 --> 00:49:01,740 um a note was found in his pocket you 1115 00:49:05,390 --> 00:49:03,960 know I am Janie Lane with his I think it 1116 00:49:07,970 --> 00:49:05,400 was his phone number or something on 1117 00:49:11,089 --> 00:49:07,980 there but apparently friends would 1118 00:49:12,950 --> 00:49:11,099 sometimes put because he I think he lost 1119 00:49:14,809 --> 00:49:12,960 his ID or something like that he didn't 1120 00:49:16,670 --> 00:49:14,819 have a driver's license so just in case 1121 00:49:19,790 --> 00:49:16,680 something happened you know friends 1122 00:49:22,130 --> 00:49:19,800 would try to put some kind of ID on him 1123 00:49:23,930 --> 00:49:22,140 in case he was wound up in jail or he 1124 00:49:26,329 --> 00:49:23,940 passed out and didn't know where he was 1125 00:49:27,730 --> 00:49:26,339 but yeah there's just some a lot of 1126 00:49:30,470 --> 00:49:27,740 really 1127 00:49:32,809 --> 00:49:30,480 bizarre stories that you know maybe you 1128 00:49:36,250 --> 00:49:32,819 and I can't personally relate to but try 1129 00:49:40,609 --> 00:49:36,260 to understand and be sympathetic of 1130 00:49:44,150 --> 00:49:40,619 you have to and Hollywood Hollywood is 1131 00:49:46,550 --> 00:49:44,160 never short of stories like this 1132 00:49:47,450 --> 00:49:46,560 at the Boulevard of Broken Dreams for 1133 00:49:49,630 --> 00:49:47,460 nothing 1134 00:49:53,329 --> 00:49:49,640 I mean the 1135 00:49:55,730 --> 00:49:53,339 uh the great Parts about Hollywood and 1136 00:49:57,050 --> 00:49:55,740 and there there are many and I love it 1137 00:50:00,710 --> 00:49:57,060 I'm just talking about you know the 1138 00:50:04,309 --> 00:50:00,720 lifestyle and the fun and careers and 1139 00:50:06,650 --> 00:50:04,319 and dreams and and so many uh come here 1140 00:50:07,790 --> 00:50:06,660 for different reasons maybe you want to 1141 00:50:08,930 --> 00:50:07,800 be an actor maybe you want to be a 1142 00:50:10,370 --> 00:50:08,940 director maybe you want to be a 1143 00:50:13,250 --> 00:50:10,380 screenwriter maybe you want to be a 1144 00:50:15,410 --> 00:50:13,260 costume designer whatever it is yeah you 1145 00:50:17,450 --> 00:50:15,420 have the music business and radio and 1146 00:50:21,470 --> 00:50:17,460 television and and all of those things 1147 00:50:25,010 --> 00:50:21,480 so it's a very exciting place but you 1148 00:50:27,589 --> 00:50:25,020 can tell that there is there's some 1149 00:50:29,450 --> 00:50:27,599 forces that run in the background there 1150 00:50:31,910 --> 00:50:29,460 too as well and I think it's nearly 1151 00:50:33,770 --> 00:50:31,920 tangible don't you 1152 00:50:37,130 --> 00:50:33,780 oh I'm sorry I don't quite understand 1153 00:50:38,569 --> 00:50:37,140 the question the the 1154 00:50:43,430 --> 00:50:38,579 um 1155 00:50:45,069 --> 00:50:43,440 there is uh okay then I'm gonna go a 1156 00:50:49,970 --> 00:50:45,079 little more direct 1157 00:50:52,849 --> 00:50:49,980 there there are stories that you hear 1158 00:50:55,190 --> 00:50:52,859 um in Hollywood about making deals and 1159 00:50:56,930 --> 00:50:55,200 you mentioned Robert Johnson earlier I'm 1160 00:51:00,290 --> 00:50:56,940 not necessarily talking about the devil 1161 00:51:03,950 --> 00:51:00,300 but that you there are certain uh 1162 00:51:06,950 --> 00:51:03,960 avenues that you don't go down and you 1163 00:51:08,809 --> 00:51:06,960 don't nothing don't make a deal with 1164 00:51:11,450 --> 00:51:08,819 that person or don't do anything over 1165 00:51:13,190 --> 00:51:11,460 here and you hear these stories you know 1166 00:51:14,809 --> 00:51:13,200 and you know that this kind of stuff is 1167 00:51:17,329 --> 00:51:14,819 running in the background and then you 1168 00:51:19,190 --> 00:51:17,339 hear about the tragedy from people that 1169 00:51:20,750 --> 00:51:19,200 go through depression because they 1170 00:51:24,049 --> 00:51:20,760 probably 1171 00:51:26,150 --> 00:51:24,059 made bad decisions yeah well I mean 1172 00:51:28,309 --> 00:51:26,160 um there's been women who have 1173 00:51:31,970 --> 00:51:28,319 compromised themselves throughout the 1174 00:51:35,450 --> 00:51:31,980 years uh Casting Couch you know from the 1175 00:51:37,490 --> 00:51:35,460 20s till the present you know uh maybe 1176 00:51:39,470 --> 00:51:37,500 doing something or even men I shouldn't 1177 00:51:40,370 --> 00:51:39,480 just limit it to women but you know it's 1178 00:51:43,790 --> 00:51:40,380 more 1179 00:51:46,250 --> 00:51:43,800 uh female Centric where you know oh you 1180 00:51:48,170 --> 00:51:46,260 sleep with me and I'll give you a role 1181 00:51:49,930 --> 00:51:48,180 and you know one thing leads to another 1182 00:51:52,910 --> 00:51:49,940 and it may seem like something 1183 00:51:54,890 --> 00:51:52,920 negligible at first but um you know 1184 00:51:57,290 --> 00:51:54,900 compromising your principles again and 1185 00:51:59,569 --> 00:51:57,300 again and again can really be 1186 00:52:02,870 --> 00:51:59,579 um detrimental to one's peace of mind 1187 00:52:04,849 --> 00:52:02,880 and mental health yeah that's that's why 1188 00:52:07,910 --> 00:52:04,859 that's what I was talking about right 1189 00:52:11,630 --> 00:52:07,920 there okay so yeah you you got to the 1190 00:52:13,670 --> 00:52:11,640 question because I I you know I I dealt 1191 00:52:16,609 --> 00:52:13,680 with it I never 1192 00:52:19,309 --> 00:52:16,619 um I never you know I I never got 1193 00:52:21,890 --> 00:52:19,319 involved and but I would hear things I 1194 00:52:24,890 --> 00:52:21,900 would hear things and it was like no 1195 00:52:28,990 --> 00:52:24,900 that can't be real and then the next 1196 00:52:32,270 --> 00:52:29,000 thing you know wow it it was like 1197 00:52:34,730 --> 00:52:32,280 it's a trip man the music industry is a 1198 00:52:37,190 --> 00:52:34,740 trip the film industry's a trip 1199 00:52:40,490 --> 00:52:37,200 um you can you can run clean and you can 1200 00:52:42,290 --> 00:52:40,500 do that no no issues but if you go if 1201 00:52:44,809 --> 00:52:42,300 you if you just make a wrong turn 1202 00:52:48,109 -->

01:02:17,579 country suddenly people are talking 1403 01:02:21,650 --> 01:02:20,040 about it do you do you what's your take 1404 01:02:25,789 --> 01:02:21,660 do you think we have something to be 1405 01:02:31,490 --> 01:02:28,910 um no I don't think it's scary if you 1406 01:02:35,569 --> 01:02:31,500 know there is other intelligent life 1407 01:02:38,089 --> 01:02:35,579 here or watching us or about to arrive I 1408 01:02:40,990 --> 01:02:38,099 think it would be very interesting to 1409 01:02:44,329 --> 01:02:41,000 let's you know see what they have to say 1410 01:02:46,549 --> 01:02:44,339 the universe is a big place isn't it it 1411 01:02:49,250 --> 01:02:46,559 certainly is it's rather daunting when 1412 01:02:52,730 --> 01:02:49,260 you think about it all it's it's really 1413 01:02:55,130 --> 01:02:52,740 big like infinite big yes there's no way 1414 01:02:57,530 --> 01:02:55,140 we can be the only planet with 1415 01:02:59,930 --> 01:02:57,540 intelligent life on it do you think 1416 01:03:02,390 --> 01:02:59,940 that's the world view now uh you know 1417 01:03:04,089 --> 01:03:02,400 nobody's freaking out right the stock 1418 01:03:06,470 --> 01:03:04,099 market yeah 1419 01:03:08,530 --> 01:03:06,480 no I don't think so 1420 01:03:13,030 --> 01:03:08,540 it's not like the Twilight Zone episode 1421 01:03:18,130 --> 01:03:13,040 and when you when you yeah 1422 01:03:20,930 --> 01:03:18,140 when you think of uh E.T uh an 1423 01:03:22,309 --> 01:03:20,940 extraterrestrial being uh what pops into 1424 01:03:24,770 --> 01:03:22,319 your mind what do you see what do you 1425 01:03:28,549 --> 01:03:24,780 think of hmm 1426 01:03:33,349 --> 01:03:31,069 it couldn't alien 1427 01:03:35,690 --> 01:03:33,359 um being maybe it doesn't look like 1428 01:03:37,430 --> 01:03:35,700 anything that we recognize or know I I 1429 01:03:41,089 --> 01:03:37,440 don't know if it looks like humanoid 1430 01:03:43,490 --> 01:03:41,099 like the uh you know Whitley strieber's 1431 01:03:45,230 --> 01:03:43,500 Grays I don't know it's hard to say but 1432 01:03:46,690 --> 01:03:45,240 probably not 1433 01:03:51,109 --> 01:03:46,700 do you 1434 01:03:52,309 --> 01:03:51,119 think that we have been visited 1435 01:03:58,789 --> 01:03:52,319 yeah 1436 01:04:01,309 --> 01:03:58,799 and and that's that's why I'm so 1437 01:04:02,750 --> 01:04:01,319 interested in in speaking to somebody 1438 01:04:05,030 --> 01:04:02,760 that you know is outside of our 1439 01:04:06,970 --> 01:04:05,040 community right yeah I'm not I'm not in 1440 01:04:09,589 --> 01:04:06,980 the community but I'm certainly open to 1441 01:04:10,789 --> 01:04:09,599 believing that it's possible yeah I 1442 01:04:13,010 --> 01:04:10,799 think it's 1443 01:04:15,109 --> 01:04:13,020 um probably rather arrogant to think 1444 01:04:17,690 --> 01:04:15,119 that we're the only intelligent life in 1445 01:04:19,430 --> 01:04:17,700 the entire universe well what what what 1446 01:04:25,670 --> 01:04:19,440 is worse 1447 01:04:28,130 --> 01:04:25,680 universe or or not right I think being 1448 01:04:29,569 --> 01:04:28,140 alone would if we were all that there is 1449 01:04:33,890 --> 01:04:29,579 that would scare the crap out of me 1450 01:04:37,430 --> 01:04:33,900 right we haven't done a great job so far 1451 01:04:39,589 --> 01:04:37,440 and um uh and and here's the other part 1452 01:04:41,510 --> 01:04:39,599 with that 1453 01:04:46,130 --> 01:04:41,520 um the 1454 01:04:48,829 --> 01:04:46,140 sudden friendliness with the media right 1455 01:04:53,270 --> 01:04:48,839 all this ridicule right tinfoil hats and 1456 01:04:55,370 --> 01:04:53,280 and and we're crazy but suddenly there's 1457 01:04:57,470 --> 01:04:55,380 this friendly side of this now where 1458 01:05:01,849 --> 01:04:57,480 it's it's out in the open and it's being 1459 01:05:03,710 --> 01:05:01,859 discussed uh which may suggest that the 1460 01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:03,720 government knows more than they are 1461 01:05:08,210 --> 01:05:05,160 telling us they're saying that we're 1462 01:05:10,010 --> 01:05:08,220 trying to figure it out but it do you 1463 01:05:12,589 --> 01:05:10,020 think that the government is is sitting 1464 01:05:13,730 --> 01:05:12,599 on information and and they know the 1465 01:05:17,210 --> 01:05:13,740 truth 1466 01:05:19,609 --> 01:05:17,220 hmm that's a good question I don't know 1467 01:05:22,069 --> 01:05:19,619 um I guess it depends on which branch of 1468 01:05:24,829 --> 01:05:22,079 the government you're talking about you 1469 01:05:28,549 --> 01:05:24,839 know so uh you know some may be more 1470 01:05:31,430 --> 01:05:28,559 open than others have you heard of I I 1471 01:05:35,150 --> 01:05:31,440 love this this is awesome for me have 1472 01:05:38,690 --> 01:05:35,160 you heard of the Roswell case 1473 01:05:40,970 --> 01:05:38,700 I mean the original Roswell Area 51 or 1474 01:05:44,690 --> 01:05:40,980 everything that's that's two different 1475 01:05:48,770 --> 01:05:44,700 areas okay okay uh Area 51 is Nevada 1476 01:05:50,569 --> 01:05:48,780 just north of you oh yeah 1477 01:05:56,450 --> 01:05:50,579 yes 1478 01:05:59,930 --> 01:05:56,460 you're up on stuff you're up on stuff 1479 01:06:02,750 --> 01:05:59,940 um I'm gonna be uh uh I have a big event 1480 01:06:07,450 --> 01:06:02,760 that's going on at the Luxor Hotel in 1481 01:06:10,010 --> 01:06:07,460 Las Vegas in November and you're invited 1482 01:06:12,770 --> 01:06:10,020 I would love to have you out there it's 1483 01:06:15,470 --> 01:06:12,780 a it's a big event and one of the things 1484 01:06:17,690 --> 01:06:15,480 that we're going to be doing is uh on 1485 01:06:21,289 --> 01:06:17,700 Saturday night we're gonna load up four 1486 01:06:24,289 --> 01:06:21,299 buses and we're gonna go to area 51. 1487 01:06:28,150 --> 01:06:24,299 yeah well neither have I so let's go 1488 01:06:31,370 --> 01:06:28,160 there together and and crash those Gates 1489 01:06:32,870 --> 01:06:31,380 sounds like a party but the reason why I 1490 01:06:34,809 --> 01:06:32,880 bring a Braswell 1491 01:06:36,950 --> 01:06:34,819 is that 1492 01:06:40,309 --> 01:06:36,960 allegedly I believe that had happened 1493 01:06:44,210 --> 01:06:40,319 that a flying saucer crashed there and 1494 01:06:47,870 --> 01:06:44,220 we recovered it and that was in 1947. 1495 01:06:50,329 --> 01:06:47,880 and and after that all the technology 1496 01:06:52,609 --> 01:06:50,339 started to happen right we started to 1497 01:06:55,789 --> 01:06:52,619 and maybe we got this stuff from this 1498 01:06:58,029 --> 01:06:55,799 craft and if that's the case then 1499 01:07:01,730 --> 01:06:58,039 obviously the government would know that 1500 01:07:03,770 --> 01:07:01,740 if let's I just want your opinion if 1501 01:07:06,529 --> 01:07:03,780 that actually happened 1502 01:07:08,930 --> 01:07:06,539 would you would you think would you 1503 01:07:11,210 --> 01:07:08,940 expect our government to admit to 1504 01:07:15,349 --> 01:07:11,220 something like that or is that a secret 1505 01:07:19,250 --> 01:07:17,029 um what would be the harm in admitting 1506 01:07:21,890 --> 01:07:19,260 it if it were a fact 1507 01:07:24,950 --> 01:07:21,900 see this is why you're a guest on this 1508 01:07:30,170 --> 01:07:26,829 I mean 1509 01:07:32,870 --> 01:07:30,180 there seems there there's an argument 1510 01:07:35,270 --> 01:07:32,880 here uh for both sides right that 1511 01:07:37,309 --> 01:07:35,280 there's some complicity maybe some legal 1512 01:07:40,010 --> 01:07:37,319 issues that the you know if the 1513 01:07:43,370 --> 01:07:40,020 government did have this technology and 1514 01:07:47,029 --> 01:07:43,380 didn't share it with the world that you 1515 01:07:49,730 --> 01:07:47,039 know heat schools food production right 1516 01:07:53,450 --> 01:07:49,740 and and all of that and 1517 01:07:55,430 --> 01:07:53,460 um but maybe they should if they if they 1518 01:07:57,470 --> 01:07:55,440 have information the reason why I'm 1519 01:07:59,809 --> 01:07:57,480 bringing this up there's an article in 1520 01:08:04,010 --> 01:07:59,819 Newsweek that came out yesterday 1521 01:08:05,089 --> 01:08:04,020 and uh representative Timber Chet uh of 1522 01:08:09,049 --> 01:08:05,099 Congress 1523 01:08:11,690 --> 01:08:09,059 said to Newsweek this is yesterday that 1524 01:08:13,910 --> 01:08:11,700 we have an alien we have a flying saucer 1525 01:08:18,590 --> 01:08:13,920 and we're backwards engineering it and 1526 01:08:21,530 --> 01:08:18,600 we may even have alien beings right this 1527 01:08:24,769 --> 01:08:21,540 is a Newsweek Stacy wow I have to check 1528 01:08:26,269 --> 01:08:24,779 that out yeah so is that why that is 1529 01:08:29,630 --> 01:08:26,279 that why the 1530 01:08:31,970 --> 01:08:29,640 technology accelerated so quickly in the 1531 01:08:33,229 --> 01:08:31,980 60s 70s and 80s to now I mean when you 1532 01:08:36,530 --> 01:08:33,239 think about 1533 01:08:40,370 --> 01:08:36,540 a hundred years in the 1800s and then 1534 01:08:43,910 --> 01:08:40,380 you go to the 1900s and how quickly 1535 01:08:45,470 --> 01:08:43,920 technology accelerated uh exponentially 1536 01:08:47,570 --> 01:08:45,480 and so 1537 01:08:49,849 --> 01:08:47,580 um like never before in history do you 1538 01:08:52,729 --> 01:08:49,859 think that's because of the supposed 1539 01:08:55,910 --> 01:08:52,739 crash in Roswell and yeah well that's 1540 01:08:57,189 --> 01:08:55,920 the idea so check this out that's a 1541 01:09:02,150 --> 01:08:57,199 great Point 1542 01:09:07,729 --> 01:09:04,910 um gas lamps and horse and Buggies 1543 01:09:10,550 --> 01:09:07,739 exactly the airplane hadn't happened yet 1544 01:09:15,950 --> 01:09:10,560 right Henry Ford is still a few years 1545 01:09:17,639 --> 01:09:15,960 out okay so that's 1900 60 years later 1546 01:09:25,389 --> 01:09:17,649 we had the ventures 1547 01:09:29,870 --> 01:09:27,829 [Laughter] 1548 01:09:30,829 --> 01:09:29,880 that's the exact point that you're 1549 01:09:33,050 --> 01:09:30,839 making 1550 01:09:34,249 --> 01:09:33,060 yeah it is definitely something to 1551 01:09:36,110 --> 01:09:34,259 question and 1552 01:09:38,689 --> 01:09:36,120 to 1553 01:09:40,669 --> 01:09:38,699 death were the ventures 1554 01:09:43,669 --> 01:09:40,679 um uh I'm just gonna stay right here for 1555 01:09:46,070 --> 01:09:43,679 a second they they kind of represented 1556 01:09:49,249 --> 01:09:46,080 the future didn't they they absolutely 1557 01:09:50,930 --> 01:09:49,259 right yeah I mean they did uh they're I 1558 01:09:53,209 --> 01:09:50,940 think the only rock band that did an 1559 01:09:55,370 --> 01:09:53,219 album for NASA that was commissioned by 1560 01:09:56,990 --> 01:09:55,380 NASA to do an album 1561 01:09:58,189 --> 01:09:57,000 um yeah they were always very forward 1562 01:10:01,370 --> 01:09:58,199 thinking 1563 01:10:03,530 --> 01:10:01,380 um they came up with the rise of the 1564 01:10:05,990 --> 01:10:03,540 electric guitar and that's you know what 1565 01:10:08,270 --> 01:10:06,000 I think that went hand in hand why the 1566 01:10:10,850 --> 01:10:08,280 electric guitar became so popular 1567 01:10:12,950 --> 01:10:10,860 although of course you know um 1568 01:10:14,930 --> 01:10:12,960 you know it came about before that but 1569 01:10:16,910 --> 01:10:14,940 really the ventures were the ones to 1570 01:10:19,790 --> 01:10:16,920 kind of bring it into the mainstream and 1571 01:10:21,709 --> 01:10:19,800 it quickly caught on to other bands 1572 01:10:23,270 --> 01:10:21,719 um and then I think it kind of you know 1573 01:10:24,530 --> 01:10:23,280 both of them went hand in hand the 1574 01:10:26,330 --> 01:10:24,540 ventures wouldn't have been as popular 1575 01:10:27,890 --> 01:10:26,340 without the electric guitar and the 1576 01:10:30,290 --> 01:10:27,900 electric guitar would not have been as 1577 01:10:32,870 --> 01:10:30,300 popular without the ventures no that's a 1578 01:10:35,810 --> 01:10:32,880 fact it's a fact and and here's but 1579 01:10:41,510 --> 01:10:35,820 here's the other part though that when 1580 01:10:46,189 --> 01:10:41,520 you have the vision of you go to 1960 61 1581 01:10:48,709 --> 01:10:46,199 62 58 where we had this you know the the 1582 01:10:51,709 --> 01:10:48,719 house of the future the car of the 1583 01:10:54,890 --> 01:10:51,719 future that everything was convenient 1584 01:10:56,630 --> 01:10:54,900 and automated and The Jetsons and 1585 01:10:58,910 --> 01:10:56,640 exactly yeah I was just gonna say The 1586 01:11:00,709 --> 01:10:58,920 Jetsons for sure the flying car and 1587 01:11:04,490 --> 01:11:00,719 that's what the ventures represented 1588 01:11:08,510 --> 01:11:04,500 that that that music was part of the 1589 01:11:12,709 --> 01:11:08,520 vision of what we could be right 1590 01:11:14,990 --> 01:11:12,719 listen to Les Paul you know who's really 1591 01:11:16,790 --> 01:11:15,000 probably

01:14:25,860 well um health-wise so she was in a 1664 01:14:32,330 --> 01:14:30,060 wheelchair but um I met her during NAMM 1665 01:14:34,189 --> 01:14:32,340 um it was the NEC Awards I believe and

01:14:59,820 to me but I always feel like it's 1678 01:15:05,330 --> 01:15:01,560 important to tell the people who made an 1679 01:15:07,430 --> 01:15:05,340 impression on you to give them that 1680 01:15:09,830 --> 01:15:07,440 Accolade that they deserve and she 1681 01:15:11,209 --> 01:15:09,840 graciously accepted it and so yeah I 1682 01:15:13,189 --> 01:15:11,219 didn't talk to her for long in person 1683 01:15:15,590 --> 01:15:13,199 but when I did the phone interview with 1684 01:15:18,229 --> 01:15:15,600 her yeah we talked a lot about 1685 01:15:21,050 --> 01:15:18,239 um how me the music business has changed 1686 01:15:22,669 --> 01:15:21,060 since she came up and also as a woman 1687 01:15:24,169 --> 01:15:22,679 you know one of the things that I 1688 01:15:27,350 --> 01:15:24,179 thought was interesting to talk to her 1689 01:15:30,890 --> 01:15:27,360 about was how Rolling Stone I believe in 1690 01:15:32,930 --> 01:15:30,900 the 70s they ran a story about like all 1691 01:15:36,649 --> 01:15:32,940 the men that she had slept with and it 1692 01:15:39,649 --> 01:15:36,659 was just so dismissive and so 1693 01:15:41,390 --> 01:15:39,659 um disrespectful we wouldn't do a story 1694 01:15:43,189 --> 01:15:41,400 on a man like that they wouldn't have 1695 01:15:45,590 --> 01:15:43,199 like a list of all the women that he 1696 01:15:47,330 --> 01:15:45,600 slept with but they did that to her and 1697 01:15:49,490 --> 01:15:47,340 that you know that was really hurtful to 1698 01:15:50,750 --> 01:15:49,500 her and so we talked about that and here 1699 01:15:54,050 --> 01:15:50,760 we are you know and it's International 1700 01:15:55,729 --> 01:15:54,060 women's day today yes it is yes it is 1701 01:15:57,470 --> 01:15:55,739 hard to mention that at

it's very 1790 01:20:08,030 --> 01:20:05,880 unusual place and it hasn't changed it 1791 01:20:10,490 --> 01:20:08,040 hasn't it it just took out the Laurel 1792 01:20:12,770 --> 01:20:10,500 Canyon

--> 01:20:17,280 market what was it called I think it's 1796 01:20:21,229 --> 01:20:19,199 just called The Laurel Canyon store and 1797 01:20:24,709 --> 01:20:21,239 then yeah 1798 01:20:26,930 --> 01:20:24,719 and that's right by uh that I've you 1799 01:20:29,090 --> 01:20:26,940 know Jim Morrison called it love Street 1800 01:20:30,709 --> 01:20:29,100 where he wrote the the song about she 1801 01:20:33,350 --> 01:20:30,719 lives on Love Street and you can walk 1802 01:20:36,470 --> 01:20:33,360 down that street and really kind of soak 1803 01:20:39,770 --> 01:20:36,480 up the the rock

01:20:45,300 has so much history 1807 01:20:50,930 --> 01:20:48,000 um to it Hollywood loves to tear places 1808 01:20:52,970 --> 01:20:50,940 down so it's nice that Laurel Canyon 1809 01:20:54,709 --> 01:20:52,980 really hasn't changed that much no it's 1810 01:20:58,570 --> 01:20:54,719 totally retained it totally retained it 1811 01:21:01,550 --> 01:20:58,580 yeah um now okay so Rob Zombie

somebody that really 1815 01:21:11,930 --> 01:21:10,560 Embraces it it's Rob in his directing to 1816 01:21:14,450 --> 01:21:11,940 as well 1817 01:21:17,090 --> 01:21:14,460 um but the songs 1818 01:21:20,750 --> 01:21:17,100 um the theatrics on the stage 1819 01:21:23,630 --> 01:21:20,760 um he knows how to how do I say this get 1820 01:21:25,610 --> 01:21:23,640 to get to our scary parts he does it 1821 01:21:27,470 --> 01:21:25,620 really well yeah yeah that's another 1822 01:21:30,470 --> 01:21:27,480 person that well I've interviewed many 1823 01:21:32,090 --> 01:21:30,480 many times because I did specialize in 1824 01:21:33,770 --> 01:21:32,100 the horror genre when I was an 1825 01:21:35,930 --> 01:21:33,780 entertainment reporter like I said I 1826 01:21:39,410 --> 01:21:35,940 worked for the Sci-Fi channel I also 1827 01:21:41,630 --> 01:21:39,420 worked for horror.com dread Central 1828 01:21:43,850 --> 01:21:41,640 um so yeah he was on a lot of my shows 1829 01:21:45,290 --> 01:21:43,860 and I went to visit his sets quite a few 1830 01:21:46,970 --> 01:21:45,300 times 1831 01:21:49,970 --> 01:21:46,980 um yeah he's just 1832 01:21:52,490 --> 01:21:49,980 a super creative very very intelligent 1833 01:21:55,130 --> 01:21:52,500 person and I feel like 1834 01:21:58,490 --> 01:21:55,140 um he still has yet to make his greatest 1835 01:22:00,850 --> 01:21:58,500 film oh man 1836 01:22:04,910 --> 01:22:00,860 thousand corpses 1837 01:22:08,350 --> 01:22:04,920 yeah that is one scary strong film The 1838 01:22:10,790 --> 01:22:08,360 the set from that the Four Aces Motel 1839 01:22:15,830 --> 01:22:10,800 it's right up the street from where I 1840 01:22:17,750 --> 01:22:15,840 live wow yeah and uh to I Trope out 1841 01:22:20,450 --> 01:22:17,760 there I don't do stuff like this too 1842 01:22:22,550 --> 01:22:20,460 often but I had to go see it and and 1843 01:22:25,370 --> 01:22:22,560 there it is the Four Aces Motel minutes 1844 01:22:28,729 --> 01:22:25,380 right out here in Palmdale yeah he's uh 1845 01:22:30,950 --> 01:22:28,739 definitely a historian of the bizarre 1846 01:22:32,990 --> 01:22:30,960 and unusual so where do you think it 1847 01:22:35,750 --> 01:22:33,000 comes from 1848 01:22:39,110 --> 01:22:35,760 for him or for and it's for him no for 1849 01:22:41,990 --> 01:22:39,120 him specifically because he he he does 1850 01:22:45,590 --> 01:22:42,000 it right he does it right he can he he 1851 01:22:49,130 --> 01:22:45,600 captures the visual in his movies but 1852 01:22:52,189 --> 01:22:49,140 also he he's able to it's the theater of 1853 01:22:54,649 --> 01:22:52,199 the Mind in his songs and then I feel 1854 01:22:56,810 --> 01:22:54,659 like it's his maybe it's his generation 1855 01:23:00,890 --> 01:22:56,820 I mean he and I were born in the same 1856 01:23:03,830 --> 01:23:00,900 year I believe uh 66. so you know being 1857 01:23:06,830 --> 01:23:03,840 Gen X you know we just kind of grew up 1858 01:23:09,169 --> 01:23:06,840 in that era of the 70s as you're a young 1859 01:23:13,310 --> 01:23:09,179 child you know kind of 1860 01:23:16,250 --> 01:23:13,320 the popular books then were The Exorcist 1861 01:23:19,130 --> 01:23:16,260 you know there was the The Omen uh 1862 01:23:21,470 --> 01:23:19,140 Rosemary's Baby 1863 01:23:23,750 --> 01:23:21,480 um you know like I said Hunter Skelter 1864 01:23:25,790 --> 01:23:23,760 Yeah I mean we all read those books when 1865 01:23:27,830 --> 01:23:25,800 we were far too young probably to read 1866 01:23:30,590 --> 01:23:27,840 them so I think that all kind of soaks 1867 01:23:32,689 --> 01:23:30,600 into one's Consciousness and it's just I 1868 01:23:35,990 --> 01:23:32,699 think it's more a generational thing 1869 01:23:37,610 --> 01:23:36,000 than an individual thing and and being a 1870 01:23:39,890 --> 01:23:37,620 creative person I think he kind of 1871 01:23:42,410 --> 01:23:39,900 latched on to that and found ways to 1872 01:23:45,649 --> 01:23:42,420 exploit it creatively I mean certainly 1873 01:23:49,010 --> 01:23:45,659 his songs that he did with white zombie 1874 01:23:50,689 --> 01:23:49,020 are very very horror-centric and you 1875 01:23:53,450 --> 01:23:50,699 know the films the Universal horror 1876 01:23:55,669 --> 01:23:53,460 monsters and the monsters and all those 1877 01:23:57,950 --> 01:23:55,679 things that that we grew up with in that 1878 01:24:00,530 --> 01:23:57,960 era he's really embraced and kind of 1879 01:24:04,310 --> 01:24:00,540 brought out to the world in a creative 1880 01:24:09,110 --> 01:24:04,320 way I saw I saw him I'm trying to think 1881 01:24:11,750 --> 01:24:09,120 uh probably around 2000 right 2001 2000. 1882 01:24:16,729 --> 01:24:11,760 and at the universal Amphitheater right 1883 01:24:19,130 --> 01:24:16,739 and and I'm a guest uh my friend uh uh 1884 01:24:20,750 --> 01:24:19,140 is opening they're on tour uh you know 1885 01:24:25,850 --> 01:24:20,760 so I'm there and I'm backstage I'm doing 1886 01:24:28,970 --> 01:24:25,860 my thing and I when I I stood 1887 01:24:31,370 --> 01:24:28,980 um at at the mixing board and watched 1888 01:24:33,350 --> 01:24:31,380 his show right in the center and you 1889 01:24:36,830 --> 01:24:33,360 know the universal Amphitheater right 1890 01:24:38,209 --> 01:24:36,840 that that center aisle

out of me 1894 01:24:49,990 --> 01:24:46,080 it would have been scarier than Alice 1895 01:24:53,570 --> 01:24:50,000 Cooper it was it was it's a rock concert 1896 01:24:56,570 --> 01:24:53,580 and

01:25:03,780 and the thing and every song was this 1900 01:25:10,310 --> 01:25:07,560 huge bombastic Barnum and Bailey every 1901 01:25:14,930 --> 01:25:10,320 song right and these giant three-story

to put that together 1905 01:25:26,630 --> 01:25:24,120 to combine the music with putting on the 1906 01:25:29,390 --> 01:25:26,640 stage show was tremendous but there was 1907 01:25:31,850 -->

directed by Toby Hooper 1942 01:27:06,770 --> 01:27:04,199 um you know so yeah I mean he really 1943 01:27:09,830 --> 01:27:06,780 wears his influences on his sleeve but 1944 01:27:13,070 --> 01:27:09,840 he does make it his own in in you know 1945 01:27:18,350 --> 01:27:13,080 really only Rob Zombie can direct a Rob 1946 01:27:21,709 --> 01:27:18,360 Zombie film yeah it uh I don't wanna the 1947 01:27:25,850 --> 01:27:21,719 reason why I'm I'm dragging this out 1948 01:27:29,090 --> 01:27:25,860 with Rob is that I think all of this can 1949 01:27:31,610 --> 01:27:29,100 imagine certain things but it takes a 1950 01:27:34,310 --> 01:27:31,620 director or a writer you know like 1951 01:27:37,370 --> 01:27:34,320 yourself to take it to the next level so 1952 01:27:40,490 --> 01:27:37,380 we can experience it and he's not afraid 1953 01:27:43,970 --> 01:27:40,500 to do that to to cross those cinematic 1954 01:27:46,729 --> 01:27:43,980 lines that others you know they just 1955 01:27:49,129 --> 01:27:46,739 don't or they don't have the ability to 1956 01:27:52,070 --> 01:27:49,139 do that and he can visually you know 1957 01:27:54,169 --> 01:27:52,080 it's the makeup it's the it's the shot 1958 01:27:56,689 --> 01:27:54,179 it's the framing 1959 01:27:58,610 --> 01:27:56,699 um uh very little special effects you 1960 01:28:01,669 --> 01:27:58,620 know this is all stuff that is that is 1961 01:28:04,189 --> 01:28:01,679 filmed and he's just been able to do 1962 01:28:07,129 --> 01:28:04,199 that with dramatic effect not to mention 1963 01:28:08,570 --> 01:28:07,139 the actors that he cast Sid Hague bill 1964 01:28:11,450 --> 01:28:08,580 mostly 1965 01:28:14,930 --> 01:28:11,460 Sherry Moon Zombie was great as 1966 01:28:16,970 --> 01:28:14,940 a baby Firefly in all the films so yeah 1967 01:28:19,850 --> 01:28:16,980 I mean that's also part of it is in the 1968 01:28:22,750 --> 01:28:19,860 casting yeah Sid Hague 1969 01:28:25,729 --> 01:28:22,760 Sid Hague and uh 1970 01:28:28,910 --> 01:28:25,739 Sid Hank what do you see is other stuff 1971 01:28:30,370 --> 01:28:28,920 right okay okay all right and you go 1972 01:28:33,590 --> 01:28:30,380 through his history 1973 01:28:37,610 --> 01:28:33,600 he he he took it and ran with it with 1974 01:28:40,010 --> 01:28:37,620 Rob Zombie yeah yeah I mean he's a very 1975 01:28:43,070

highbrow comedy and but you know to 2037 01:31:36,709 --> 01:31:33,900 begin with it was you know just a silly 2038 01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:36,719 show I I actually I'm more of an Adams 2039 01:31:41,709 --> 01:31:38,930 Family person so maybe that's why 2040 01:31:43,729 --> 01:31:41,719 [Laughter] 2041 01:31:47,030 --> 01:31:43,739 oh man 2042 01:31:49,610 --> 01:31:47,040 um I I wanted

happens organically and 2118 01:35:25,070 --> 01:35:22,920 absolutely I mean that was a very short 2119 01:35:28,250 --> 01:35:25,080 period in music history when you really 2120 01:35:30,770 --> 01:35:28,260 think back to the Glam Rock days it was 2121 01:35:33,590 --> 01:35:30,780 not that many years that it lasted but 2122 01:35:36,830 --> 01:35:33,600 now it's come back you know I mean um

brings it back 2126 01:35:44,209 --> 01:35:42,659 to people are listening to these bands 2127 01:35:45,530 --> 01:35:44,219 again and it's having sort of a 2128 01:35:48,709 --> 01:35:45,540

--> 01:38:10,560 good but I don't know how um lasting it 2177 01:38:13,970 --> 01:38:11,400 will be 2178 01:38:17,629 --> 01:38:13,980 well there's a creative process I will 2179 01:38:22,310 --> 01:38:17,639 never say that there isn't an uh uh yeah 2180 01:38:25,070 --> 01:38:22,320 and there is an art to uh creating on a 2181 01:38:28,209 --> 01:38:25,080 drum machine there's an art to I mean 2182 01:38:33,410 --> 01:38:28,219 that's an artistic process so you know 2183 01:38:35,390 --> 01:38:33,420 NWA or or Ice Cube or whatever they're 2184 01:38:37,729 --> 01:38:35,400 not any less of an artist than anybody 2185 01:38:40,850 --> 01:38:37,739 else it's a creative process and it's a 2186 01:38:44,090 --> 01:38:40,860 tool I get that but there is there is 2187 01:38:47,570 --> 01:38:44,100 something to be said uh to something 2188 01:38:50,149 --> 01:38:47,580 like you know the ventures or Elvis or 2189 01:38:53,330 --> 01:38:50,159 Led Zeppelin setting up with a couple of 2190 01:38:55,370 --> 01:38:53,340 mics and letting this thing rip and you 2191 01:38:58,250 --> 01:38:55,380 get you get a vibe from that don't you 2192 01:39:01,729 --> 01:38:58,260 that's the way I mean you can get a Vibe 2193 01:39:04,490 --> 01:39:01,739 definitely you know I recently read Phil 2194 01:39:06,709 --> 01:39:04,500 Collins uh Memoir and he was talking 2195 01:39:09,709 --> 01:39:06,719 about how when drum machines came out 2196 01:39:11,689 --> 01:39:09,719 you know and he was very skeptical but 2197 01:39:13,910 --> 01:39:11,699 then he embraced it okay so you listened 2198 01:39:16,129 --> 01:39:13,920 to in the air tonight and that's you 2199 01:39:19,310 --> 01:39:16,139 know that you could never get that sound 2200 01:39:22,430 --> 01:39:19,320 and it's it definitely draws you in and 2201 01:39:24,950 --> 01:39:22,440 it's its own thing but you know give me 2202 01:39:27,110 --> 01:39:24,960 a Neil pert drum fill any day of the 2203 01:39:28,850 --> 01:39:27,120 week I'd rather hear that but I love 2204 01:39:30,649 --> 01:39:28,860 them both you know for different reasons 2205 01:39:34,129 --> 01:39:30,659 but yeah there's something to be said 2206 01:39:35,810 --> 01:39:34,139 just about an a real drummer that I I am 2207 01:39:38,750 --> 01:39:35,820 drawn to but I'm not saying it's better 2208 01:39:41,030 --> 01:39:38,760 or you know worse than anything else it 2209 01:39:42,590 --> 01:39:41,040 it really depends on what resonates with 2210 01:39:45,470 --> 01:39:42,600 the listener and that's why there's so 2211 01:39:47,750 --> 01:39:45,480 many different forms of music I I love 2212 01:39:50,209 --> 01:39:47,760 this conversation tonight and I've been 2213 01:39:52,189 --> 01:39:50,219 watching the chat room and you've 2214

01:40:27,910 --> 01:40:26,280 um before uh we started talking but I I 2226 01:40:29,629 --> 01:40:27,920 said so 2227 01:40:32,030 --> 01:40:29,639 UFOs 2228 01:40:33,169 --> 01:40:32,040 and this is in the dressing room and he 2229 01:40:35,390 --> 01:40:33,179 looked up 2230 01:40:37,010 --> 01:40:35,400 and he started 2231 01:40:38,810 --> 01:40:37,020 and then he stopped 2232 01:40:41,570 --> 01:40:38,820 he didn't he didn't say what he wanted 2233 01:40:45,350 --> 01:40:41,580 to say there were some there was it was 2234 01:40:47,090 --> 01:40:45,360 it was a weird moment and later on I was 2235 01:40:48,590 --> 01:40:47,100 with my friends outside okay did you 2236 01:40:52,310 --> 01:40:48,600 guys catch that 2237 01:40:54,110 --> 01:40:52,320 he wanted to say something but he caught 2238 01:40:57,290 --> 01:40:54,120 himself he caught the words before they 2239 01:40:59,169 --> 01:40:57,300 came out of his mouth that's a rare rare 2240 01:41:01,250 --> 01:40:59,179 trait 2241 01:41:02,689 --> 01:41:01,260 but I thought he was going to go there 2242 01:41:03,530 --> 01:41:02,699 for a second 2243 01:41:08,649 --> 01:41:03,540 um 2244 01:41:12,050 --> 01:41:08,659 mention these things 2245 01:41:15,890 --> 01:41:12,060 uh with somebody like 2246 01:41:19,910 --> 01:41:15,900 um ingve back to Ron Keel right that has 2247 01:41:22,010 --> 01:41:19,920 such a powerful influence on people 2248 01:41:25,610 --> 01:41:22,020 um uh and other guitar players but he's 2249 01:41:28,610 --> 01:41:25,620 only known in a very narrow you know 2250 01:41:32,390 --> 01:41:28,620 what I mean it's it's really strange 2251 01:41:34,189 --> 01:41:32,400 with with certain artists that don't you 2252 01:41:36,590 --> 01:41:34,199 know burst out right 2253 01:41:39,470 --> 01:41:36,600 my mom doesn't know who Yngwie Malmsteen 2254 01:41:40,189 --> 01:41:39,480 is right but Elvis is known around the 2255 01:41:43,970 --> 01:41:40,199 world 2256 01:41:46,310 --> 01:41:43,980 right you know what I mean yeah and uh 2257 01:41:49,010 --> 01:41:46,320 and and with somebody like Yngwie I've 2258 01:41:51,950 --> 01:41:49,020 often wondered if that's a frustrate if 2259 01:41:53,530 --> 01:41:51,960 it's frustrating or or if they're aware 2260 01:41:56,149 --> 01:41:53,540 of it 2261 01:41:56,930 --> 01:41:56,159 I yeah that's a good question I don't 2262 01:41:57,830 --> 01:41:56,940 know 2263 01:42:03,109 --> 01:41:57,840 um 2264 01:42:08,350 --> 01:42:03,119 one for spousal abuse maybe he was 2265 01:42:12,890 --> 01:42:08,360 letting out his frustration I don't know 2266 01:42:14,570 --> 01:42:12,900 these guys they do act out in some uh 2267 01:42:16,729 --> 01:42:14,580 ways that maybe that's you know maybe 2268 01:42:19,370 --> 01:42:16,739 that's what it's all about but no I feel 2269 01:42:22,070 --> 01:42:19,380 like he's revered for what he wants to 2270 01:42:23,390 --> 01:42:22,080 be revered for him is definitely a very 2271 01:42:27,229 --> 01:42:23,400 unique 2272 01:42:29,390 --> 01:42:27,239 um almost gymnastic guitar style which I 2273 01:42:32,390 --> 01:42:29,400 appreciate I do like a fancy guitar 2274 01:42:35,750 --> 01:42:32,400 player I love Eddie Van Halen 2275 01:42:38,570 --> 01:42:35,760 um Jimi Hendrix but really I mean to me 2276 01:42:41,209 --> 01:42:38,580 like the sort of loose sloppy 2277 01:42:44,510 --> 01:42:41,219 bluesy guitar playing of Keith Richards 2278 01:42:46,310 --> 01:42:44,520 or or Jimmy Page that's really what 2279 01:42:49,850 --> 01:42:46,320 resonates with me that's what speaks to 2280 01:42:51,590 --> 01:42:49,860 my soul so I feel like you know you can 2281 01:42:54,169 --> 01:42:51,600 appreciate all different kinds of styles 2282 01:42:56,330 --> 01:42:54,179 but really what resumes with your heart 2283 01:42:57,830 --> 01:42:56,340 and soul is you know what people are 2284 01:42:58,910 --> 01:42:57,840 drawn to and different people are drawn 2285 01:43:01,729 --> 01:42:58,920 to different things for different 2286 01:43:04,129 --> 01:43:01,739 reasons I'm not a guitar player 2287 01:43:07,490 --> 01:43:04,139 so I just go to what really kind of 2288 01:43:09,350 --> 01:43:07,500 draws me in you know uh earlier today I 2289 01:43:11,330 --> 01:43:09,360 was listening to 2290 01:43:13,729 --> 01:43:11,340 um Pink Floyd you know and that just 2291 01:43:15,410 --> 01:43:13,739 that guitar playing Just 2292 01:43:18,950 --> 01:43:15,420 I don't know it just does something to 2293 01:43:21,530 --> 01:43:18,960 you it it speaks to you emotionally yeah 2294 01:43:24,290 --> 01:43:21,540 David Gilmore 2295 01:43:26,330 --> 01:43:24,300 um said more with one note 2296 01:43:30,470 --> 01:43:26,340 than most guitar players do with a 2297 01:43:34,310 --> 01:43:30,480 hundred yeah it's really true it's it's 2298 01:43:37,750 --> 01:43:34,320 a tone but it's also the no choices and 2299 01:43:42,050 --> 01:43:37,760 and his solo work when his guitar solos 2300 01:43:44,689 --> 01:43:42,060 they they emotionally uh slap you upside 2301 01:43:46,129 --> 01:43:44,699 the head you pay attention and yeah it 2302 01:43:50,590 --> 01:43:46,139 just really speaks to you I mean 2303 01:43:55,970 --> 01:43:52,850 I'm going to turn this around just a 2304 01:43:59,270 --> 01:43:55,980 little bit the there is 2305 01:44:01,189 --> 01:43:59,280 there's something to be said 2306 01:44:05,390 --> 01:44:01,199 about 2307 01:44:08,750 --> 01:44:05,400 some of the most influential people come 2308 01:44:09,950 --> 01:44:08,760 in and change everything and then they 2309 01:44:14,570 --> 01:44:09,960 leave us 2310 01:44:20,050 --> 01:44:14,580 Prince Elvis uh you know Kurt Cobain Amy 2311 01:44:23,930 --> 01:44:20,060 Winehouse uh Jim Morrison Jimi Hendrix 2312 01:44:27,050 --> 01:44:23,940 where they come in and they visit us for 2313 01:44:31,189 --> 01:44:27,060 these brief periods of time and 2314 01:44:33,770 --> 01:44:31,199 absolutely there is a period before Amy 2315 01:44:34,910 --> 01:44:33,780 Winehouse there's a period after you 2316 01:44:38,149 --> 01:44:34,920 know what I mean there's a period 2317 01:44:40,430 --> 01:44:38,159 absolutely yeah and the same thing at 2318 01:44:43,310 --> 01:44:40,440 Hendrix you know there's there's music 2319 01:44:46,189 --> 01:44:43,320 before Hendrix there's music after 2320 01:44:48,010 --> 01:44:46,199 Hendrix well I mean to me that's almost 2321 01:44:51,830 --> 01:44:48,020 like a metaphorical 2322 01:44:54,709 --> 01:44:51,840 alien visitation right because this 2323 01:44:56,510 --> 01:44:54,719 person is almost otherworldly they're 2324 01:44:59,689 --> 01:44:56,520 here for a short time and then they're 2325 01:45:01,189 --> 01:44:59,699 gone and but they leave that residue of 2326 01:45:04,129 --> 01:45:01,199 um something that we didn't know before 2327 01:45:07,430 --> 01:45:04,139 it's almost you know like a like I said 2328 01:45:10,450 --> 01:45:07,440 like a metaphorical alien visitation 2329 01:45:13,010 --> 01:45:10,460 you said it not me I drew out of you 2330 01:45:17,689 --> 01:45:13,020 that's where I'm going

--> 01:45:29,100 example of that or that genius comes in 2337 01:45:34,430 --> 01:45:32,340 absolutely changes the world and then 2338 01:45:37,310 --> 01:45:34,440 they leave us 2339 01:45:41,689 --> 01:45:37,320 um it's it it happens more times than 2340 01:45:45,169 --> 01:45:41,699 not right well I mean well it's like um 2341 01:45:47,330 --> 01:45:45,179 the Neil Young Lyric 2342 01:45:50,030
