[00:01:13] Speaker B: Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Rock Roulette podcast. That's right, the Crazy Ass podcast that took over 1300 albums, stuck them in a list, stuck them in a wheel. And typically, every other week, we spin the wheel. She picks a record for us, and we do, typically one side per week, although we had a couple short ones recently, which we'll bring up. But we go through track by track, and we talk about the music, the lyrics, the production, the arrangement and the melody. And again, just a bunch of friends who wanted to do a podcast, just having some fun and love of music. And we talk about this every week, but sometimes it's a discovery, sometimes it's a rediscovery, which was last week, what you're talking about. But tonight we have Mark. Oh, hi, Mark.
[00:01:55] Speaker C: What's up, guys?
[00:01:56] Speaker B: And I'm Sev. Ciao, Buenos Aires. So last week, she picked journey.
Wait, what was the name of the album? I forgot already.
[00:02:05] Speaker C: Next.
[00:02:06] Speaker B: Next. Yeah, which was the album before Steve Perry came in. So, of course, instead of picking something overly popular, she picked something that, I mean, was a discovery for us. I mean, journey obviously is a very famous band, people. No matter what genre of music you listen to, you're gonna know a journey song. They were all over the radio. And so this was something where I was like, okay, let's see what's. We heard that they were a little bit more progressive, a little bit different. I mean, there was some progressive stuff, I think. But, I mean, overall, I mean, especially the second slide, it just felt like just straight up rock and roll. I mean, it just, again, we had mentioned it. Songs like Hustler, where you say to yourself as rock and roll fans and metal fans, and where are songs like this been all our lives? We're like, how come we've never heard of anything like this? So, I mean, I enjoyed it overall. I mean, I think the second side was stronger than the first side, but the first side was good, production was good. Obviously, the musicianship is really good. And we banged it out in one session, which is always kind of cool, too, which lets us spin the wheel again. So what do you think, Mark?
[00:03:10] Speaker C: Yeah. Anytime I get albums like that where you're like, I haven't heard this, but I should have. I should have known this. But like we said in the episode, especially an album like that, you had to have an older cousin or a brother or somebody to, like, show you that. Because you probably would not have heard that unless someone had shown you or, you know, gave you the album or told you, hey, this is good. Or. Because then you. Because, you know, your default is journey from, you know, the eighties where it's super duper poppy and very commercial. And Steve Perry's the singer. And so this is kind of like the transition, one of the transition albums, you know, as they went to the net, the newer sound, but it still had a little bit of prog going on. Very little. But enough where it was different, where Neil Sean's guitar playing wasn't just, you know, as great as it is. It's, you know, it's very to the point and short. And for the song, there was some stretched out parts here, which he did, which you don't really hear him do very much. So it was good.
[00:04:04] Speaker B: Yeah, he definitely got a lot of space. And, I mean, obviously Ansi Dunbar, great drumming. I mean, the vocals were good. Neil Sean sang a couple of songs. The bass playing was really good. I mean, again, just a really strong album. So anybody who hasn't ventured into that part of it or maybe says, oh, you know, I heard journey. All that aor shit, check this out. Because this wasn't aor. I mean, some bits and pieces, I would say kind of, but I mean, in general, it wasn't. I think it's something that, again, if you appreciate well written songs and good musicianship, and especially if you say, I don't like this stuff with Steve Perry, you know, just do whatever for me. Just check it out. So I'm glad. I'm really glad that we got that one.
[00:04:45] Speaker C: Yeah, it was a good one.
[00:04:46] Speaker B: So we get to spin the wheel, obviously, like we said. But before we do that, we have the new segment that we've been doing every week now, which is called new bets, if you want to do the intro.
[00:04:55] Speaker C: New bets, intro? Yes, I want to do. The problem is, I don't think I have it opened up.
I know I can click my finger.
[00:05:05] Speaker B: Like, in the first time.
[00:05:06] Speaker C: I know, best impromptu.
[00:05:10] Speaker B: Now what the hell is he doing, Mandy?
[00:05:12] Speaker C: Is he. Does he have a real cowboy, or is this just a piece of metal?
[00:05:15] Speaker B: Oh, no, this is a water bottle that my sister in law bought for me that when you hit it, it sounds like a cowbell.
[00:05:20] Speaker C: That's pretty funny.
All right, well, here is the real deal. Here we go. In a world where new music is not easy to find, welcome to new bats.
[00:05:42] Speaker B: So it is my week to pick, and I was gonna pick a pearl jam song that I really like, but I figure, in the spirit of the show, let's spin the wheel. You know what I mean? Because we get to spin it twice, so I think that makes it even cooler.
[00:05:55] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:05:55] Speaker B: So let's see what a baby wheel picks for us.
[00:05:58] Speaker C: All right, here goes the baby wheel. Here we go.
[00:06:13] Speaker B: Liam Gallagher. Just another rainbow.
[00:06:15] Speaker C: There you go.
[00:06:16] Speaker B: As opposed to Noel Gallagher, which I.
[00:06:20] Speaker C: Find kind of funny because aren't they getting back together?
[00:06:22] Speaker B: They are back together. Yeah. They're supposed to be coming to the States too, supposedly, so. And I heard they might be releasing some new music.
[00:06:29] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:06:29] Speaker B: If they lasted long enough without killing each other.
[00:06:32] Speaker C: If they can actually get to the actual time for them to. They can. Don't kill each other before they get all through this.
[00:06:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:06:42] Speaker C: So this is, um, what year? This is recent, isn't it? I believe.
[00:06:48] Speaker B: I don't. I've heard somebody know Gallagher stuff, but not. Yeah, not Liam, though, honestly.
[00:06:52] Speaker C: Yeah. So this is, um, Liam Gallagher and John Squire. Just another rainbow. So I know nothing about this.
[00:07:00] Speaker B: I don't know this song at all.
[00:07:01] Speaker C: Yeah. So this is gonna be good.
[00:07:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:03] Speaker C: All right, let's start it. Here we go.
[00:07:22] Speaker D: This would be just another rainbow I I want the air I set the.
[00:07:47] Speaker C: Sky.
[00:07:50] Speaker D: Just another rainbow nobody waiting for me just another.
[00:08:38] Speaker C: So, what do you think?
[00:08:40] Speaker B: That's not bad. Definitely got that sixties feel. Reminds me of rain, actually, by. By the beatles once that all psychedelic little thing came in. So John squire was actually in the stone roses, which was a part of the whole brit movement that happened in the nineties.
[00:08:57] Speaker C: That intro, like, when the drums came in, was a little sloppy, though.
[00:09:02] Speaker B: It was. I think it wasn't. Yeah, I found it sloppy. I'm thinking he was intentionally sloppy.
[00:09:07] Speaker C: I guess so.
[00:09:09] Speaker B: But, I mean, I like the first part, and I kind of like where it went now. Like, yeah, I mean, as a drummer, once you hear something, like, they're like, yeah, it's a little cringy, but I'm like, all right, let's see how it finds itself.
[00:09:22] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, it. It sounds like oasis.
[00:09:25] Speaker B: He sounds good, though.
[00:09:26] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: I mean, not that he ever sounded bad and. Yeah, they really sounded bad in the studio.
[00:09:33] Speaker C: All right, let's continue. I mean, I like it so far.
[00:09:36] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:37] Speaker C: Here we go.
[00:09:49] Speaker D: Just another rainbow am I a windmill?
Just another rainbow hanging out for me just another rainbow drifting on the street red and orange yellow and green blue, indigo violence we cross the line Sadeena Sadeena.
[00:13:37] Speaker B: Very sixties esque.
[00:13:39] Speaker C: Oh, big time. The second drum intro was a little bit better to break when it came in, I thought.
[00:13:44] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And, I mean, they. That drum set sounded a lot like ringo, especially the toms.
[00:13:50] Speaker C: Mmm.
[00:13:50] Speaker B: I mean, they really captured his sound. A lot of guitar.
[00:13:53] Speaker C: A lot of guitar. I mean, half the song. One. Half the song. Yeah, yeah. I liked. It was good. No, if the new oasis is gonna sound anything like that, I think. I think it's gonna be good.
Yeah. And he sounds good, so, I mean, I don't think you can really complain about that.
[00:14:09] Speaker B: No, he sounded really good.
[00:14:11] Speaker C: It's awesome. Well, there you go. So, another thing, maybe to check out. I think maybe I'll throw his album on the list.
[00:14:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Listen, we're gonna get to 1400 pretty soon.
[00:14:22] Speaker C: Right now. Halfway there to 14. Almost halfway to 14.
[00:14:26] Speaker B: Cool.
[00:14:26] Speaker C: It's gonna be. It's gonna be. It just keeps getting bigger. It doesn't get smaller no matter what we do.
[00:14:31] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Too many things come up too fast for us to listen to. That's what it is.
[00:14:37] Speaker C: Yeah. I was surprised you actually spun. I know. Next week. I'm not spinning. I already know what I'm doing next week.
[00:14:42] Speaker B: Oh, no, you got one.
[00:14:43] Speaker C: Oh, I know what I'm doing.
[00:14:44] Speaker B: Yeah, I. Maybe Frankie's on next time. I pick. Like I said, I've been wanting to do that Pearl Jam song, but I figured, in the spirit of things, let's spin. Fuck it.
[00:14:57] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, listen, whether you pick or whether you spin doesn't really matter, but. Yeah, I generally like spinning, but I know. Next week. I know if Frankie's not here, I know what I'm going to do, so we shall see. All right, so I don't know what I think the wheel is going to do. The wheel has thrown me curveballs two weeks in a row. First cactus, then an old journey record. I don't know what it's going to throw at me. I have no idea.
[00:15:21] Speaker B: Yeah. We've been in that classic rock mode now, three in a row, so. Well, the Hendrix obviously be picked, but the cactus and the journey so been.
[00:15:30] Speaker C: In the seventies, so I'm hoping we get out of the seventies, but, you know, there could be good some. I mean, I shouldn't say that either, because there's stuff in the seventies I'd like to do.
[00:15:38] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:15:39] Speaker C: So if it happens, it happens. I don't know, but. All right, are we ready to spin this? This is three weeks in a row we spun. It's crazy.
Usually takes us like six weeks to spin.
[00:15:50] Speaker B: Yeah, well, she's picking short ones, so I mean, you can bang them out. We'll bang them out.
[00:15:54] Speaker C: What you gonna do? Pick another, like triple out quadruple album again?
[00:15:58] Speaker B: Yeah, it's gonna be the wall.
[00:15:59] Speaker C: You're the wall, probably. Are you ready? Here we go.
[00:16:03] Speaker B: I'm ready. Let's do it.
[00:16:04] Speaker C: We'll do your thing.
[00:16:25] Speaker B: Nice, Dan. Three. How the gods kill.
[00:16:28] Speaker C: That is crazy.
[00:16:30] Speaker B: There's some good stuff on this album.
[00:16:32] Speaker C: Is there? I haven't heard this all time.
[00:16:34] Speaker B: Some good stuff on this one. There might be sacrilege, but there's some stuff I definitely like better than the first two.
[00:16:40] Speaker C: Really?
[00:16:40] Speaker B: I don't know. Overall, I have to think about it. But I mean, it's, there's some good stuff on here. I mean, overall, Danzig has some pretty good riffs, some simple, just metal riffs, you know what I mean? And I mean, you know, obviously he can sing. He's got a pretty decent range, even though he stays within that kind of lower range. But highly influenced by Jim Morrison and what's the guy? Pretty woman.
[00:17:07] Speaker C: Roy Orbison.
[00:17:08] Speaker B: Roy Orbison. Yeah.
[00:17:10] Speaker C: Yeah. This is a longer album. This is not going to be, it's not going to be a one session thing.
[00:17:15] Speaker B: No, I don't think. And by the way, I found out recently that Glenn Danzig's real name is actually italian.
[00:17:19] Speaker C: His name? What?
[00:17:20] Speaker B: His real name is not Glenn Danzig.
[00:17:23] Speaker C: What is it?
[00:17:23] Speaker B: I forgot. I just looked. I just like, literally within the last couple of weeks, I just, he popped up in my head. His real name is Glenn Allen Hanzalone. Yeah, this is a 92. I thought it was a 90.
[00:17:35] Speaker C: Yeah. 1992. With this thing. Does this chart do anything?
[00:17:39] Speaker B: I think so.
[00:17:40] Speaker C: Number 24 and the Billboard 200.
[00:17:42] Speaker B: Yeah, it had, um. It was a big song from here. I'm freaking blanking. I'm blanking a lot tonight. Dirty black song. Okay. Yeah, that was it.
[00:17:49] Speaker C: Remember that?
[00:17:50] Speaker B: Those actually pretty, pretty decent hit.
[00:17:52] Speaker C: Mm hmm.
[00:17:53] Speaker B: MTV played it a lot.
[00:17:54] Speaker C: Oh, and this is a Rick Rubin joint.
[00:17:56] Speaker B: Mm hmm.
[00:17:57] Speaker C: So this is Glenn Danzig on vocals and keyboards. Erie Vaughn on bass, John Christ on guitars and Chuck biscuits on drums.
[00:18:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I think there's a band on the one before, too. It could have been the first one too, I'm not sure. Yeah. But definitely some. Some strong songs on this album.
[00:18:15] Speaker C: He was in Samhain, too, with Danzig. John Christ, he was. And Chuck Biscuits was a member of DOA from 78 to 82. Then he joined Black Flag for a little bit and circled jerks for a little bit. And he played in social distortion, the last between the mid and late nineties. I mean, I probably have heard. I heard this thing back in the day, but I haven't heard this in a long, long time. And it's gonna be cool.
[00:18:37] Speaker B: Yeah, we never had a dancing.
[00:18:38] Speaker C: No, we just. Again, this is another album. I would never think that it would pick, though. I'm interested. Let me pull some lyrics up.
[00:18:45] Speaker B: Alan Wolfe was an influence as well. Willie Dixon.
[00:18:48] Speaker C: Didn't he do a whole, like, Elvis album?
[00:18:50] Speaker B: He may have. I know he's an Elvis fan.
[00:18:52] Speaker C: Pretty positive he did.
[00:18:53] Speaker B: He's done a lot of different things, honestly.
[00:18:55] Speaker C: It's cool. All right, I'm ready to do this. All right, so this is the first song is godless. Here we go.
Well, at least the drums sound like drums. Yeah, that's good.
[00:19:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Now this. It's a good sounding album.
[00:19:37] Speaker C: Very raw.
[00:19:38] Speaker B: But I mean, it's just straight up metal. I mean, just right. I mean, it's.
[00:19:45] Speaker C: It sounds earlier than 92, though, to me. Yeah, it doesn't sound like a nineties album. It sounds like a throwback.
[00:19:52] Speaker B: I mean. Yeah. When, again, like, his stuff is kind of always within the same sort of, like, style. Even if you look to some of his later stuff, like lucifuge and stuff like that.
[00:20:04] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't know enough. I mean, obviously I know who he is and I know a bunch of songs, but I don't know albums at all. This is gonna be discovery for me, I think so.
[00:20:13] Speaker B: I mean, I remember liking this album. It's been a while since I listened to it, but I definitely remember a few of them, so. Including this one.
[00:20:19] Speaker C: All right, let's. Let's continue. Here we go.
I am Iron man.
I'm assuming that's on purpose, right?
[00:21:08] Speaker D: Um.
[00:21:09] Speaker B: Well, no, because, I mean, once it comes in, it doesn't sound like that.
[00:21:12] Speaker C: No, I know. It's just. That's what it sounded like to me. It's too funny. All right, let's go.
[00:21:58] Speaker D: God laughs, we laugh night after night godless will end amen I can't believe in all your faith I got the treading of a christian dead in love.
You tell your children marathon.
Yeah.
You haven't anymore.
I'm the whisper to my heart world God.
[00:24:31] Speaker B: What do you think?
[00:24:32] Speaker C: So that's metal.
[00:24:34] Speaker B: Yep. Straight up metal.
[00:24:36] Speaker C: But it's so funny to me because it sounds like it's earlier than 92. I still think that whatever they were going for, they were going for an earlier sound. Like, you could hear that being, like, early eighties metal.
[00:24:47] Speaker B: I don't know about early eighties. I mean, the sound, I think, is a little bit whatever, but, yeah, I mean, again, if you listen to two or three albums down the line, you'll hear songs like this. I mean, it's just. It's kind of like that timeless metal kind of thing.
[00:24:59] Speaker C: He's definitely a Jim Morrison devotee.
[00:25:03] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, that was one of the. Definitely got on that low. He's got me. He's got a strong voice, though.
[00:25:09] Speaker C: Mm hmm. Yeah. And this is like a seven minute song, almost, that takes balls to open up your album with a seven minutes on.
[00:25:15] Speaker B: Yeah, well, it's got that little thing, which I think it goes back to again.
[00:25:19] Speaker C: Mmm. So, yeah, so the lyrics are godless feeling in me night after night godless feeling in me born of their lives and the verses you gave me. All of this and more. Yeah. That's for sure. I can't believe in all your pain under the draining of a christian deities deities blood? You tell your children they're insane yeah I couldn't love it anymore I had to listen to my heart couldn't take anything more anymore so, Lee. So you leave me godless. Interesting. Always likes his voice because it. It's very unique. Like, you won't think he's somebody else.
[00:25:53] Speaker B: Yeah. He's definitely got a unique voice. I've always liked his voice, too. It's very soulful.
[00:25:58] Speaker C: Yeah. The music is very generic to me.
[00:26:00] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, listen, it's nothing. This is nothing groundbreaking. It just, you know, horns in the air just.
[00:26:08] Speaker C: Yeah, but his voice is what makes it.
[00:26:10] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, I think. Gonna say probably overall, remember, you're not gonna find a lot of complexity in the riffs. It's just simple, you know, like easy DC. Right. Kind of. It's not the complexity of it. It's just. It is what it is, and. But it's strong.
[00:26:23] Speaker C: Well, I like it so far. Yeah, it's strong. I mean, to see what the rest of it is, I'm. I mean, my. My biggest memory of him is mother is my biggest mother.
[00:26:32] Speaker B: Yeah. But even that, when you take a shit.
[00:26:38] Speaker C: It'S the melody, though, in that I don't think this melody is as strong as that kind of melody yet, so. But, I mean, we have another 227 to go, so let's see what they see. If they pull out. There we go.
[00:26:49] Speaker D: Don't send us a Lorain around my life.
I'm taking more than you could ever get.
You can't believe that someone challenges your ride.
I'm gonna send you back your pain, Satan, to join me in this feast.
May we always be strong.
Embodied spirit and mind, and all those who would try to harm us.
[00:28:34] Speaker C: Let.
[00:28:34] Speaker D: Them be cast aside.
[00:29:15] Speaker B: Do you want to say what you want me to say? Warrior, come out and play.
[00:29:22] Speaker C: It's so funny. His inflections are so jamorrison. Like. Like the way he says things.
[00:29:28] Speaker B: He wears his influences honestly, when he just says it outright, you know what I mean? There's not like. Well, no, no. He's. He's very cool about it. You know what I mean? I mean, clearly, even that last part. Right. The whole speaking and. Yeah, like you said, his inflections. And I think, twisted sister, try to get that guy to do something from one of their songs, and he wouldn't do it. Or he. Yes. For so much money, or. I don't know. Or he did do it, but he turned out to be like a real dick. There's some story behind the Rick Rubin. No, the warriors. The whole guy with the bottles. Even though that was improvised.
[00:29:59] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's very straight ahead. I guess that, to me, the only thing really super straight, not straight ahead. The super different is his vocal. His vocal is just. It's like if Jim. Jim Morrison was gonna be in a metal bandaid, this is what he would sound like.
[00:30:15] Speaker B: Yeah, basically.
[00:30:16] Speaker C: He sounds eerily like him. I forget how much he sounds like. Until you hear it again, like, oh, yeah. That's why. And I'm sure that threw off some people, too. I'm sure that wasn't always to his benefit.
[00:30:25] Speaker B: Yeah, but I mean, he's had a career. I mean, he started out with the misfits back in the day, too. You know what I mean? So, yeah, he made a name for himself before he kind of went to this, but he came up in that scene.
[00:30:36] Speaker C: Well, let me read some lyrics. So just spread your tentacles of hate around my life I've taken more than you could ever give I can't believe that someone challenges your right I'm going to send you back your pain and then chorus and then that spoken part is, I ask all who have gathered here to join me in this feast. Maybe always be strong in body, spirit, and mind. And all of those who would try to harm us, let them be cast aside. So this is supposed to be, like, against organized religion? Frustration about organized religion.
[00:31:08] Speaker B: Kind of like hypocrisy.
[00:31:10] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, the lyrics are pretty good. I guess I should go first, since you really know this more and I know this.
[00:31:16] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:31:17] Speaker C: I'm gonna say seven on the lyrics. I like the lyrics. Melody. I mean, Melody's okay. I'm gonna give that a five. I haven't found anything that really caught me that much on this musicianship. You know, it's good. It's straight ahead metal, so I can't fault it for that. I'm gonna give it a six arrangement. I thought it was arranged really well. I like that they went back to the beginning part at the end. I'm gonna give that a seven. And then production, it sounds good. Rick Rubin is doing a good job here. So I'm gonna say eight on production because I think it sounds really strong. What do you think?
[00:31:49] Speaker B: I'll say six on the lyrics. I mean, they're pretty cool.
Melody? I'm trying to think, you know, I'll say eight on production as well. I was gonna say seven, but I'll give it it an eight. I mean, it's produced perfectly for what it is, so I will give that, um, music. I'm gonna say seven. I mean, I definitely like the music. I've always liked this song. The arrangement is cool, too. I'll say seven on arrangement. Melody.
I'll say six on melody. I was gonna give it a seven, but say six. I'll be conservative. Is that everything?
[00:32:17] Speaker C: That is everything. You're getting better.
[00:32:19] Speaker B: I get. When I go out of order, I get a little lost sometimes because, you know. But sometimes you kind of. You know what? You want to give certain things and not other things, so it's. Instead of kind of like, uh, just jump around a bit.
[00:32:31] Speaker C: Yeah. Okay, cool. One down. Um, I mean, it's a good start. I mean, it takes balls, but six minutes on as the first song on your album, so, yeah, I think you.
[00:32:42] Speaker B: Like the melody better in this next one.
[00:32:44] Speaker C: Okay, so the next one is anything.
Oh, it's the one word. Things isn't, again, godless. Anything. Okay, here we go.
[00:33:15] Speaker B: You.
[00:33:18] Speaker D: If you just reach out to me take my hand everything I cannot break.
[00:33:33] Speaker B: I will give you.
[00:33:38] Speaker D: If you just say you will and it's freedom.
[00:33:55] Speaker B: In.
[00:33:55] Speaker D: My home and it's freedom in my.
[00:34:05] Speaker B: Heart.
[00:34:09] Speaker D: In my arms in my arms in my arms.
[00:34:41] Speaker B: What do you think.
[00:34:41] Speaker C: I like that better. Yeah, I think. I think the melody is much better in this than first one.
It's just so. Like I said, it to me feels so much older than the actual year. It is, but obviously that's on purpose. I'm sure Rick Rubin said, just do what you do. You know what I mean?
[00:35:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:35:00] Speaker C: What it sounds like. You write your songs, and if it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
[00:35:04] Speaker B: Yeah. It's got that wrong.
[00:35:06] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. It's. It's definitely not overproduced whatsoever. I was reading. Supposedly, they were so. You know, they were. This is. They were kind of at the height of what they were doing. They could go in and get the basic tracks down in one or two takes. So a lot of this stuff is fairly raw, probably, and fairly live, so. Yeah, yeah.
[00:35:25] Speaker B: When you're in sync, man.
[00:35:27] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. No, 100%. So lyrics are. Anything you want anything the world has to offer I can give you if you just reach out to me take my hand everything a kiss cannot bring I will give you if you just say you will and it's freedom in my arms and it's freedom in my arms in my arms in my arms in my arms I'm not too sure what he's talking about yet.
[00:35:50] Speaker B: I mean, the consensus is just kind of. It is what it is. Anything you want it is. Yeah. He definitely writes. He's got some love songs. You know what I mean? He's not all. There are some straight up love songs that he sings.
[00:36:02] Speaker C: It's so hard for me to get the Jim Morrison out of my head, because he's so. I know, I knew he sang like this, but, like, you know, in the. In the small doses that I've heard him, I didn't. You know, I didn't really put his together as much as, like, hearing this kind of stuff, and you're like, wow, he's just like, his inflection is so on like that. He must have listened to him nonstop to, like, absorb all that inflection.
[00:36:27] Speaker B: Yeah, definitely a big fan.
[00:36:28] Speaker C: So, yeah, no, it's kind of crazy. All right, let's continue. Here we go. And. And the drummer's pretty solid, too.
[00:36:36] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:36:37] Speaker C: I mean. I mean, it's not technically anything like. It's not like last week when Ansley Dunsbor was playing. It's nothing like that.
[00:36:43] Speaker B: No, no, no. He just plays for the song. You know what I mean? Does the accent. He accents the riff and everything, which I always really like, so.
Yeah, just solid in the pocket.
[00:36:54] Speaker C: Okay. Let's go.
[00:37:09] Speaker D: And it's power and it fail I will give it all to you take my hand if you dare say you will in my home loaded battle in my home in my home in my home.
[00:38:19] Speaker C: I thought there was gonna be a solo right there.
That's what I thought.
[00:38:23] Speaker B: I don't remember if there's one coming. I haven't heard this in a while.
[00:38:27] Speaker C: I think there has to be. I think there has to be.
It's just weird. And, too. I'm looking at these lyrics, and the way they broke the lyrics out, I think they're totally wrong. I don't know who tried to, like, figure this out, but the parts are, like, totally wrong, so. Anything you want anything this world has to offer I can give it to you, yeah all this world in its glory and its sin I will give it to you take my hand if you just say you will and it's freedom in my arms, lord, it's freedom in my arms in my arms in my arms anything you want, it's in my arms anything you need is in my arms anything you want is in my arms anything you need, it's in and then the next part is in my arms and my arms in my arms that's where we're at. I like that. They came back to the riff, too.
[00:39:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:39:10] Speaker C: So it's structured very well.
[00:39:11] Speaker B: Yeah, just simple. Simple riff, right?
[00:39:15] Speaker C: Yeah, it's good. It's good rock. Yeah, I like it. Okay, let's continue.
[00:39:27] Speaker D: Anything you want anything you need it's out.
[00:40:07] Speaker B: I heard a little journey in there, too. Kind of something. A little stone, a little bit.
[00:40:12] Speaker C: It's nothing groundbreaking of any sort.
[00:40:14] Speaker B: No, no, but it fits the song, right? I mean, it's.
[00:40:17] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, it's good guitar playing. I mean, it's not. It's not bad, so. Yeah, I like it. So, it was good. I mean, it's so. This record is so under produced, you know what I mean? Like, it's so raw. I mean. I mean, it's. I mean, not like, you know, like a cheap demo you put you did in your basement.
[00:40:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Not like a radio in the garage kind of thing.
[00:40:38] Speaker C: But there's not a lot of layering going on. Like, some people would layer a little more guitar in and whatever. It's. It's very basic.
[00:40:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:40:45] Speaker C: But it's good. I think I like this better than the first one, I think.
[00:40:48] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, this is catchier. I think, obviously, there's more of a melody.
[00:40:53] Speaker C: Yeah. We got 55 seconds. Let's play it out. Here we go.
[00:41:07] Speaker D: Anything you want stay in my home anything you need stand my home do nothing you want stand my wallethood.
[00:41:52] Speaker C: Yeah. No, I mean, again, it's very.
It's very under produced on purpose, I believe. Like, they went in, they did the basic stuff. They had some extra stuff on top, and they were done.
[00:42:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:04] Speaker C: I mean, this did take a long time to record, though. November to April 1992.
It's a long time.
[00:42:11] Speaker B: Something was going on, like, I don't know, the history and everything.
[00:42:13] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I think. I think for what it is, it's. It's a very good. It's very good metal.
[00:42:20] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:21] Speaker C: Yeah. But the one thing I can say is, again, like I said, I think that the vocal kind of distracts you from everything. I mean, I don't think it's funny. Like, if his vocal wasn't there, I don't think I would like the song as much. That makes sense.
[00:42:36] Speaker B: Like, if someone else was singing it.
[00:42:37] Speaker C: Yeah. It would just because it would be very stock, basic metal stuff that you could get better in other places. But his voice kind of, like, because it's so interesting and it has that Jim Morrison anything to it. It kind of keeps you interested, because it's that you're just not used to hearing that kind of voice on this kind of music or in general.
[00:42:56] Speaker B: I mean, kind of in the middle scene. Right. A lot of the. I mean, even though this is their early nineties, but coming what it came out of. Right. Most of that was, like, in the high range.
[00:43:06] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:43:07] Speaker B: And he was under low rage.
[00:43:09] Speaker C: Yeah. I can understand why this did well in the nineties because it's very stripped back, and that's what was going on, so.
[00:43:15] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I mean, dirty black summer was. Was a pretty big hit. They played that on MTV. And the mother live version, I think, came out before this, I think. And that was massive.
[00:43:26] Speaker C: Yeah, well, yeah, I remember that.
[00:43:27] Speaker B: Yeah. So that was a really, really big thing for them.
[00:43:31] Speaker C: All right, once you, uh. Why don't you go first?
[00:43:35] Speaker B: I mean, the lyrics aren't bad. They're just kind of repetitious. I'm trying to go between a five. I mean, the sentiment, based on the sentiment, I'm gonna say a six, or else I'd give them a five, but I'm gonna, I think seven on everything else. I mean, I just think it's a really solid song. It's in and out. It's not. You know what I mean? It doesn't hang around too long. I think the melody is strong. I think the music is strong. Again, very simple, but just. And the production is. Is good as well. It's a little bit sloppier, I think, than the first one. That's the only reason why I'm going to slightly ding it seven instead of eight. But again, like you said, this isn't something where you need whatever, just let them go in and do their thing. So what do you think?
[00:44:15] Speaker C: Yeah, I think that's the same score. Six for the lyrics and seven everything else. I think the lyrics, technically, the lyrics in the first song, I think, are better.
The melody is better in the song than the song before. Um, yeah, it's, you know, it's straight ahead metal for the time. Right. Or earlier before the time, so. But, you know, and it's not an album or doesn't seem to be an album that needs to be overly produced. You didn't have them go in there, do their thing, and whatever comes out, comes out. You know, you're not going to produce this like you would produce, you know, never mind. You know what I mean? This is not that kind of album. So, you know, I appreciate the low, lower amounts of production, but, you know, everything sounds good. It's not like everything sounds bad. It sounds good. It just. It sounds like there's, you know, one guitar, two guitars, maybe, right?
[00:45:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:45:01] Speaker C: Like, no one's, like, layering these things with lots of stuff. Very cool. All right, so the next thing we're up to is bodies.
Hit the bodies, hit the floor.
Wrong bodies. Let's see what this does. I'm curious.
[00:45:20] Speaker B: To.
[00:46:02] Speaker C: Now I have to say, I think I like that. I wish the bass was a little louder, a little fuller. That makes sense.
[00:46:09] Speaker B: Mm hmm. Yeah, the drums, too, they're not. I don't think they're as loud as they were in the other two songs.
[00:46:13] Speaker C: No.
[00:46:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I remember this song, too. I remember liking this one as well.
[00:46:17] Speaker C: I like the overall gist of the song so far.
[00:46:20] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a good song.
[00:46:22] Speaker C: I backed it up a little bit. So here we go. Let's continue.
[00:46:57] Speaker D: I've been saving on gold I'm a week gonna come I've been saving up pain I won't give it back to save I've been sprinkling the crowd for the murder alone save yourself tonight please don't try.
[00:47:50] Speaker C: All right, before we get back into a solo section, what is this about?
[00:47:54] Speaker B: Some people think it's just kind of like a dark kind of. Kind of about suffering and, like, accumulation of wealth, and people kind of poor in the suffering yeah, I can see.
[00:48:05] Speaker C: That now that I'm looking at the lyrics a little bit. So the chorus is bodies, please don't cry bodies don't die bodies, please don't cry bodies. Now, when he does the cry part, that's why I hear a little bit of Elvis in the cry, which is kind of funny. Yeah. Versus verse one is, I've been taking all the silver I've been taking all the gold I'm going to stuff it down the throat of a weakness corpse save that God doggone soul I've been saving up my pain I'm gonna give it back in spades I've been struggling I've been strangling the cry I've been strangling the cries from the murder of love save your soul tonight and then back to the chorus. It's a short song, too. I mean, it's not short. It's 424, but it's going fast. Like, it's almost halfway done right now.
[00:48:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:48:49] Speaker C: Yeah. The tempo is driving, so it's going a little quicker.
All right, let's continue. Here we go.
[00:49:26] Speaker D: I've been raising up the dead I go send them to the house of king I've been praying in the light of the waning moon slay your dog on soul I've been taking out of heaven I've been pulled upon this world I've been walking up and down at UFO baby father, we don't cry father come on, take it out.
Come on, take it up.
[00:51:14] Speaker B: Funny, when I first saw this, I was like, bodies. Oh, wonder if you did a sex missiles cover.
[00:51:17] Speaker C: But, yeah, I think I like that as my favorite so far.
[00:51:22] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a good song. I mean, like I said, I remember liking most of them record.
[00:51:27] Speaker C: I don't know. I mean, I think that the. It's a little more of a driving song. I think I like it. I mean, even though, you know, obviously there is still the Morrison influence in the vocals, I think. I don't know. I think it works better in the song.
[00:51:38] Speaker B: I mean, hey, listen, you can sound like worse people.
[00:51:41] Speaker C: This is very true. Yes. If you're gonna have to be. If you're gonna have to be, you know, sound like someone. I guess you could sound like way worse people. And Ben. Jim Morrison.
So the verses. I've been raising up the dead gonna send them to the house of Cain I've been praying in the light of the waning moon slay your dog, doggone soul I've been taken out of heaven I've been put upon this world I've been walking up and down to and fro save your doggone soul and then chorus. And then I guess this is a post chorus. I got bodies on the left, I got bodies on the right got bodies up and down all across town save your soul tonight bodies, please don't cry bodies. And then the outro is. Come on, take it home. Come on, take them back. Come on, take them back home. I think there was another one in there too. I think that's just missing one. Um, yeah, I mean, I'm gonna say this is my favorite overall so far. I'm gonna give it sevens all the way across because I think it's. It's a good song. I think it's a good song for his voice. And since I did that, I have to do one of these. I think since I did sevens. Right. It's seven time. Where is all my seven stuff? Hold on. Even add myself. There it is.
[00:52:50] Speaker B: It's next to the new bet.
[00:52:51] Speaker C: Who am I gonna use for seven this time it's gonna be a random one. Here we go.
[00:52:54] Speaker D: It's groovy, man. It's quintuple seven.
[00:52:56] Speaker C: Nikki titty baby.
[00:52:58] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:52:59] Speaker C: Jimmy from the grave.
[00:53:00] Speaker B: Have you ever done that one before?
[00:53:02] Speaker C: No, that's new.
[00:53:03] Speaker B: Well, get ready, because I'm gonna do the same thing.
[00:53:05] Speaker C: Oh, really? It is a triple seven song.
[00:53:09] Speaker B: I mean, yeah, like I said, I. I always remember liking this record. And I remember also liking it so much that I was pretty disappointed by Danzig. Four.
[00:53:17] Speaker C: Well, then we're gonna do another quintuple seven.
[00:53:20] Speaker B: Keep one eye open. It's Nikki Titty, baby.
[00:53:22] Speaker C: Quintuple seven. James Hetfield.
[00:53:24] Speaker B: It took me a second, but I was like, ah, one eye open.
[00:53:27] Speaker C: There you go.
[00:53:28] Speaker B: Speaking of which, I saw Danzig live with suicidal tendencies and Metallica.
[00:53:33] Speaker C: Oh, really?
[00:53:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:53:34] Speaker C: Was Robert Trujillo in suicidal tendencies when you saw them?
[00:53:38] Speaker B: No.
[00:53:39] Speaker C: No, this was Jason Newstead in suicidal tendencies.
[00:53:42] Speaker B: Oh, maybe. Oh, shit. Yeah. Sorry, I thought you said in Metallica.
[00:53:46] Speaker C: No.
[00:53:46] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess he may have been.
[00:53:48] Speaker C: Probably.
[00:53:49] Speaker B: I wasn't really paying attention as much, but, um. Yeah, Dante played so little. You know what I mean? Like, I was actually kind of disappointed by how little they played.
[00:53:58] Speaker C: Wow. On a three thing set like that, he was the first. He was the opening guy.
[00:54:02] Speaker B: No, suicidal tendencies was the opening.
[00:54:05] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:54:05] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, they're all good, you know, I mean, they're all really good. Yeah, a little bit more out of.
[00:54:12] Speaker C: Dan's, like probably on this.
[00:54:14] Speaker B: They probably. This is probably the record that they had released. I mean, now that I think about it, because it had to be early nineties that I'd gone.
No, no, probably Danzig four.
Danzig four.
[00:54:26] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:54:26] Speaker B: They were up to it.
[00:54:27] Speaker C: Was that. Well, yeah, I guess it could be that late. Would you see? You saw Metallica on what? On what tour?
[00:54:33] Speaker B: So I think it was the live binge and purge. It was just kind of. It wasn't for an album.
I think they put that out, and then he kind of. So was. It was like a free for all. It was pretty cool. So it wasn't like they. They played a lot of.
[00:54:48] Speaker C: So far. This is my favorite, I think.
[00:54:50] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, like I said, I like them all. I don't know which one is my favorite yet, but it could be this one or the last one.
[00:54:57] Speaker C: Okay, so here's the next one. So this is how the gods kill.
[00:55:01] Speaker B: This is a small one.
[00:55:02] Speaker C: Yeah, it's. You know what? It's almost six minutes, so I'm figuring this. It has to be. There we go.
[00:55:27] Speaker D: Odd. Satan in a darkened dream?
Do you know the name of your solitude?
If you ain't got the answer?
If you didn't know the truth?
If you want the power then let it flow through would you let it go.
[00:57:00] Speaker C: Oh?
[00:57:03] Speaker D: Would you let it go.
[00:57:10] Speaker C: Oh?
[00:57:13] Speaker D: Would you let it go, oh?
Would you let it go?
Cannot end this morning of my life show me how the gods.
[00:57:48] Speaker B: Kill what do you think?
[00:58:11] Speaker C: I wasn't too sure about it when it was super duper slow like that.
I'm not too sold on his voice in that kind of a situation, but, like, as soon as the hard stuff came in, like, he wanted to throw the horns up in the air. It was so metal.
[00:58:26] Speaker B: Yeah, it's just straight up, you know, dress in black. You didn't like his voice in me? I thought it sounded really good.
[00:58:33] Speaker C: Um, I.
[00:58:35] Speaker B: Again, I could do it a little less repetition. Like, that's kind of, like, my thing. And I know that we've discussed it too with, like, other bands and stuff like that. I mean, I think he sounds really good in that range, but, yeah, I can go with a little less of the repetition.
[00:58:52] Speaker C: Yeah, the repetition is a little rough. I mean, he does do it a lot too. I'm not. Not that I hated his voice in that range.
I just like it in the other range better, maybe. I don't know. It wasn't bad. It's just like, I don't. I don't know. I don't see Danzig as being a slow song kind of thing for me. Like this kind of slow.
[00:59:12] Speaker B: Oh, Danzig writes a great ballad.
[00:59:14] Speaker C: I know. I just don't think of it that way, though.
[00:59:16] Speaker B: They've got some really, like. No, I'm just saying, like, things that you probably haven't heard of. Like some really beautiful.
[00:59:22] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:59:22] Speaker B: Like, there's one on this album.
[00:59:23] Speaker C: I just don't have enough knowledge of what he does besides of the, you know, a couple of things that I've heard back from, you know, back in the day that, you know. I don't know. So I guess it throws me off a little bit. But I like it now.
[00:59:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Once that kicks in, it's like I.
[00:59:41] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, no, yeah, no, that was really good.
So, verse one is, if you feel alive in a darkened room do you know the name of your solitude? If you ain't got the answer if you don't know the truth if you want the power then let it flow through would you let it go? Or would you let it go? Or would you let it go? Would you let it go? There's that repetition you don't like too much.
[01:00:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:00:07] Speaker C: They cannot end this morning of my life show me how the gods kill and it goes into metal. I like that. But I'm sure if there's. I'm sure this thing is going to go back to the slow part somewhere along the line, whether it's at the end or somewhere in the middle. I mean, I don't think he's going to let. I think he's going to end with the slow part. You don't have to tell me, but I'm pretty positive that's what's going to happen.
Yeah, I'm pretty positive that's what's going to happen, but. All right, let's continue. I like it so far.
[01:00:43] Speaker D: Do you know the name of the one you see happy. Wildly answer happy Wilder, too from inside your emptiness soul there you find the news would you let it go?
Oh, would you let it go would you let it go?
Would you let it go?
There cannot in this morning of my life show me how the gods give.
[01:03:27] Speaker B: See, he wasn't too, too.
[01:03:28] Speaker C: No, but I figured they were gonna go back.
[01:03:29] Speaker B: Yeah. I give him credit, too, though. I mean, think about it, right? I mean, he's like. He's this big, burly guy, right? But he's okay with going into these ranges and these little.
You know what I mean? Like, just like, fuck it. I'm gonna sing what I want to sing.
[01:03:45] Speaker C: I was a little thrown off at the beginning. Why don't you go first? Oh, well, actually, let me read lyrics and then you can go. So verse two is, if you feel alive if you got no fear do you know the name of the one you seek? If you want the answer if you want the truth look inside your empty soul there you'll find the noose that's kind of dark.
[01:04:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:04:03] Speaker C: Is this about religion again?
[01:04:05] Speaker B: I think it's kind of like more about, like, looking within yourself to find things. Because, I mean, at the end he says pray, so it's a bit of a mix.
[01:04:17] Speaker C: Hmm. All right, why don't you, once you do it, I want to see what you say about this.
[01:04:21] Speaker B: Um. I think I'm gonna say a six in the lyrics. I mean, I think some of it is cool, but again, there's a lot of. It's a lot of repetitions. So that's why I'm gonna dig it a little bit. I'm gonna say an eight on the production. I thought the production was really good on this one.
And I'm gonna say seven on the. I don't know, everything else. And I think it's a good. I. Again, I firm. I just straight up put something on and just let it rock kind of standpoint.
I like every song so far. And again, I remember always liking this, even having gone back to it later on. So what do you think?
[01:04:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I think I went to six on the lyrics of the melody. I don't know if I like to know if I'd like to melee that much.
I'm gonna say six on the melody. It's not horrible, but I think I like the last one better.
Musicianship. I'm gonna give that a six. I thought that was good arrangement. I'm gonna give that a seven. I'm gonna give production eight. I thought the drum sounded really good on this.
Did a really good job on drums. Yeah.
And, you know, the guitar player with his little artificial harmonic thing. Pinch harmonic things going on. So it's.
It's not. I mean, I'm not saying he's not in my wheelhouse. I mean, he's not in my wheelhouse because I never really listened to him short of the stuff that our friend in the Bronx used to play all the time. He played a lot of danzig.
So it's just one of those things where that's the only real exposure I really had to that because it wasn't something I was gonna go out and buy. I mean, I enjoyed the stuff that I'm listening to here. I think, you know, I think. I think he takes more chances that I thought he would take.
[01:06:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:06:08] Speaker C: So I appreciate that.
[01:06:11] Speaker B: Yeah, he doesn't. He doesn't care. I mean, like I said, he wears his influences on his sleeve, and, you know, most of it is simple, straight up metal, but he's got the, you know, the calm. He's got ballads.
[01:06:24] Speaker C: Oh, I want to see how he says this word in the second. In the next song, he said, you, Morrison. Very famous word.
[01:06:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:06:32] Speaker C: So I want to see how he says it. So this is dirty black summer. This is going to end the first side for us. So.
[01:06:42] Speaker B: Which, believe it or not, back in the day, was one of my least favorites, really. It may still be. We'll see. Even though this was kind of like the big hit.
[01:06:48] Speaker C: Okay, maybe I know this, then.
[01:06:52] Speaker B: So the. The opening riff, you're gonna kind of. There's. There's a genre, not a genre. There's a style of riffs that kind of carry, if I remember correctly, I could be way off base, but there's, like, a style that kind of emanated from. I think it was one band that kind of started it, but there's other versions, and they also have, like, a version of this here. And even on the one before this, I think it was snakes of Christ that kind of has this kind of version of the riff, so. But, like, from what I remember, so if it doesn't stir anything in your head from this one band, then I'm completely off.
That's all I'll say. Yeah.
[01:07:32] Speaker C: Okay, I'm curious now.
And so here we go.
[01:07:36] Speaker D: Dirty black summer hunter. Ha.
[01:08:38] Speaker C: So what do you think it sounds like?
[01:08:41] Speaker B: Well, let me ask you this. Does it remind you of anything, or.
[01:08:44] Speaker C: No, it's very familiar sounding, but I can't place what it is.
[01:08:48] Speaker B: So I was gonna say it's kind of got that war machine thing, but I don't know. I could be wrong. I thought it was a little bit more of that. That.
That melody, but it's not. You know what I mean? I remember it being a little bit more so. But more of that up, you know? Yeah.
[01:09:09] Speaker C: So I guess you could. But war machine is more like. Bomb. Bomb.
[01:09:14] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I thought it was more like. That's what I'm saying. That's. Why is it like that? And then, like, once it started playing, like, no, it's nothing.
[01:09:22] Speaker C: Yeah.
All right, let's continue then.
[01:09:31] Speaker D: Keep you on like a funeral pie and nothing like an August night rich in your love it. I got a dirty black summer my dirty black summer yeah give me black summer yeah my dirty black summer.
[01:10:05] Speaker C: I remember the song.
[01:10:07] Speaker B: Yeah. This is pretty big.
[01:10:09] Speaker C: The one thing I could say, though, is I think it.
I think it would have been better without the US dirty black. So I think the dirty black summer on its own would maybe be enough.
That's. That's my only criticism of it. I like it.
[01:10:31] Speaker B: Yeah, it's not.
[01:10:31] Speaker C: Yeah, it's not. It's not bad.
[01:10:33] Speaker B: Like I said, it was kind of like back then, I just thought the stuff before, it was kind of stronger, in my opinion. But this was, like, the first song I had heard.
[01:10:43] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:10:43] Speaker B: I was like, yeah, it's okay. And then, you know, I bought the. When I bought it, I was like, okay. Kind of. I like these other things better, personally.
[01:10:53] Speaker C: But again, I was waiting. I was running from the saying a funeral pyre, because. Because.
Yeah. So no summer in the winter time will keep people warm like a funeral pyre and nothing like the August night trench and you're loving I got a dirty black summer? You're my dirty black summer yeah give me black summer yeah my dirty black summer now, do you think you put the funeral pirate thing there on purpose?
[01:11:23] Speaker B: I think a little. Yeah, it's a tongue in cheek thing.
[01:11:27] Speaker C: Hey, look, I'm gonna stick this line. I'm gonna stick these two words in here, which was super, super associated with the Jim Morrison song, the door song.
I just think it's funny.
I think that would be his sense of humor to do that.
[01:11:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:11:42] Speaker C: But I like this song. So far this month. It might be my second favorite so far. Right. Let's continue.
[01:11:56] Speaker D: Across the line.
No holding back in summer night I got a feeling it's just a dirty black summer all black summertime all the way dirty black summer yeah my dirty black summer yeah give me black summer yeah my dirty black summer come out with.
Come on, give me a black summer time give my dirty black summer summer.
[01:13:18] Speaker C: So what is this thing supposed to be about?
[01:13:19] Speaker B: Um, I was reading. It's kind of like, um, kind of missing the summer in the winter, so I'm gonna give these lyrics a one.
I'm just kidding.
[01:13:29] Speaker C: So the. The verse is. And nothing in the coolest light can stop the walking out across the line no holding back the summer night I got a feeling it's a dirty black summer oh, whoa, it's a black summer time whoa dirty black summer oh, dirty black summer yeah my gimme dirty black summer my dirty black summer hey, come on, baby. I guess in the solo. Solo wasn't bad. Okay.
[01:13:52] Speaker B: Yeah. I kind of like those little things that they're doing underneath the, um. Those little shrums that are very kind of like surfer rock. You know what I mean?
[01:14:01] Speaker C: They changed it up on this.
[01:14:02] Speaker B: Yeah. And even, like, what was going on underneath the solo wasn't just like, kind of straight up. There's, like, some weird shit going on.
[01:14:07] Speaker C: Which I think the version.
And then I guess, um. Dirty black summer yeah my dirty black summer come on, give me black summertime yeah my dirty black summer yeah I like this song now. I hundred percent remember it.
[01:14:19] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[01:14:19] Speaker C: It's like. I'm like, oh, the rock radio and.
[01:14:22] Speaker B: Well, yeah, the us.
[01:14:24] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:14:24] Speaker B: That probably goes off pretty well live, probably.
[01:14:26] Speaker C: Yeah, I would think so. All right, let's continue. Here we go.
[01:14:36] Speaker D: Like a beautiful drips like an August night I got a feeling I'm on a dead black summer summer yeah give me black summer yeah my dirty black summer time yeah my dirt and black summer give me black summer in my dirty black.
[01:16:08] Speaker B: Are there any different lyrics, or does it kind of go back?
[01:16:10] Speaker C: Pretty much the same. But the funeral pyre this time sounded more like light my fire when he did it.
[01:16:15] Speaker B: You think so?
[01:16:17] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Oh, no, this is on purpose. He did that 100% on purpose. He put that in there and he sang it the second time way more like it is.
[01:16:25] Speaker B: Well, I mean, if you're gonna say funeral pyre in a song, I mean.
[01:16:28] Speaker C: And if your vocals sound like Jim Morrison already. Yeah, so. I do. I do like this.
[01:16:34] Speaker B: You should go first.
[01:16:35] Speaker C: I think I'm gonna throw. I think I'm throwing this another seven across the boards, which means I have to play another one of these, which 01:00 a.m. i gonna play. I don't know about this one. Nikki titty baby quintuple seven. Zippity bippity bop.
[01:16:49] Speaker B: That's. That's really good because it really sounds like. He sounds like now.
[01:16:53] Speaker C: Yeah, I know.
So what do you think?
[01:16:57] Speaker B: I'm gonna say six on the lyrics.
I mean. No, I'm saying I like the other ones better, but I don't dislike this one, so. But it's kind of like production. Oh, I'll say seven. I mean, I don't think it's as good as the other one. I mean, the melody is good. I'll say seven on the melody. Music is good. I'll say seven on that, too. What am I missing?
[01:17:24] Speaker C: I'm missing one right arrangement.
[01:17:26] Speaker B: Say six on arrangement. I mean, it was okay. You know what I mean? It's kind of. It's not as whatever is the other ones. But again, I don't. I don't dislike this.
[01:17:33] Speaker C: I do like the surfer guitar, though. In the middle of that somewhere, I have no idea what.
[01:17:36] Speaker B: I like that. I do like that, too. I mean, honestly, that's pretty. I. You know, I gave him. Yeah, I do like that part a lot. That's actually, I think, my favorite, musically. It's my favorite part. I really like the way they did that. And then, like I said, whatever's going on beneath the solo, you know what I mean? They do some different stuff under the solo, so that was pretty cool, too.
[01:17:55] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, it's. It's. It's solid.
[01:17:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:17:59] Speaker C: I do think, though, that, like, if you don't know him and what his stuff is, I think. I think it'll be hard for the general public to get over the vocal. I think that's really. I think that's really unfortunately for him, you know, for commercial, you know, acceptance. I don't know how much he really cares about that, but I kind of think that that hurts him a little bit. You know what I mean? It just hurts him a little bit because it almost sounds like a parody.
[01:18:24] Speaker B: I just think he sounds. You know what I mean? And like I said, he doesn't hide it. Oh, no, this isn't somebody who. Oh, you sound like this guy's like, oh, I don't even know who that is. Or. No, not, you know, either you do or you don't, so. But, yeah, I mean, clearly.
[01:18:38] Speaker C: Yeah. I never thought we would get this.
This is definitely not an album that I thought we would get.
[01:18:46] Speaker B: Like I said, I've always liked this record, so I was happy to see it. See it come up.
[01:18:50] Speaker C: Yeah, I never had this, but again, I definitely heard that song. It was probably on. It had a video, I'm sure.
[01:18:56] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely. This was a big MTV hithenitive. And, I mean, like I said, I think 92. Three K Rock was still a thing in 92, so I'm pretty sure they were playing this. I don't think they were playing the other songs. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this was still being played. Which, again, I mean, in 92, right. Depending on how. I mean, I don't think they were ever. Ever considered part of the hair metal. You know what I mean? Obviously, I'm not saying they look like it. They never. But they weren't part of that genre or I grouping, because, I mean, there were some bands that were kind of part of the grouping where you may or may not agree. Right. Back in the day, like. Yeah, well, they didn't really sound like that. But I guess they kind of got roped into it.
[01:19:38] Speaker C: And they definitely weren't on part of the grunge movement of any sort.
[01:19:43] Speaker B: Oh, no, definitely not.
[01:19:45] Speaker C: Yeah. So, I mean, I am very excited that we got this, too. I don't know if I'm. I shouldn't say excited, but I. But I. It's something that, again, that's out of my thing to listen to again. It's not something I would ever listen to on my own again. I say that a lot.
[01:20:05] Speaker B: It's like, discovery and rediscovery, right?
[01:20:08] Speaker C: Yeah, no, but I always think that, you know, my music is, like, very varied, but it's really not.
I really listen to, like, only certain things, and then when I get thrown stuff like this, like I said, this parts of it that I like, and there's other stuff just like, you know, I understand why it's not as popular as maybe the door at die hard, people who like this stuff. You know what I mean? Just because, you know, you got to compete with the. The vocal. The vocal thing does. Does. Is a challenge. It is a challenge. I mean, he. He wears his. His influence on his sleeve, so you have no. You know, you have no choice but to know who his influences are of.
[01:20:48] Speaker B: I mean, to me, which is fine. I mean, I think he's got a great voice, you know what I mean?
Going. Yeah, you know, he's got range, which I like, you know? And again, he just. He doesn't. Not every song has to be a straight up rocker, which is cool.
[01:21:07] Speaker C: I would never think that he would do, like, soft songs, but I guess he does.
[01:21:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:21:11] Speaker C: Well, this is cool. So this is another thing for me, at least, anyways, it's not a. Not a thing for you, but for me, it's just kind of like, wow, I would never think to even listen to this. But like. Like I said, I mean, the songs are getting decent ratings, so.
[01:21:25] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, like I said, I've always liked this. This could be my favorite Danzig album, honestly speaking.
So where's the song? That's the first one.
[01:21:35] Speaker C: First one? Yeah.
[01:21:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:21:37] Speaker C: That was in the eighties, right? Yeah, like mid eighties.
[01:21:41] Speaker B: No, I think it was later on. I don't remember exactly when to look it up.
[01:21:46] Speaker C: Yeah, I really don't. I really don't know. Well, no, you're right. 88. Yeah, 88. Yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. That was. That. That album was the first thing under deaf american recording.
[01:21:56] Speaker B: Oh, nice.
[01:21:57] Speaker C: Deaf american. That was. That record label was the first album to get leased. Wow, nice.
[01:22:03] Speaker B: It's like video killed the radio star being the first MTV video.
[01:22:07] Speaker C: Yeah, pretty much.
