[00:01:14] Speaker B: Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Rock Roulette podcast. That's right, the Crazy Ass podcast that took 1000 over 1200 albums, stuck them in a list, stuck them in a wheel. And typically every other week we spin the wheel and she picks a record for us and we go through it side by side, track by track, and we give ratings on music production and lyrics. Again, just a bunch of friends that wanted to do a music podcast, share our experiences. Some of us have been in bands, so we kind of throw that in there, too, and just have fun, man. And again, anybody who takes this ride with us, we really appreciate it. Thanks for listening again, spread the word. You got anything good to say, bad to say? Whatever it is, drop us a line, man. Mark will answer you back. And very quickly, as he's proven. So we are back, a duo again. This week we have Mark. Oh, hi, Mark.
[00:02:02] Speaker C: What's up, guys?
[00:02:03] Speaker B: And I'm set. Ciao, Buenos Aires.
So last week, the wheel picked a record, a band that I've never heard of. Mark and I don't think you've ever heard of.
[00:02:17] Speaker C: No, I don't even know how I put them on the list.
[00:02:20] Speaker B: Yeah, I was like, who the fuck is this? It's goodbye, June.
So it's a trio, actually, still trying to find out who played drums on this record, but. And so we looked them up on Wikipedia, and I thought, oh, maybe it's a super group or something, but it's. It's not.
And it said one of the influences was AC DC.
So clearly the first is it three songs were very much AC DC.
I mean, almost kind of lifted off AC DC albums, I would say.
[00:02:59] Speaker C: Yes, I was starting to get angry. I was starting.
[00:03:02] Speaker B: Yes, you were getting very angry.
[00:03:04] Speaker C: I heard it in your very, very, very angry.
[00:03:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:03:08] Speaker C: I was just like, I can't.
I can't.
[00:03:13] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess we just. We expected it to be not necessarily original overall, but we. I guess after the first song, we kind of said to ourselves, well, if the rest of it sounds just AC DC ish, are we okay with the fact that that's the case? But it's still a good song.
The songs were okay. I mean, I think they ended decently. I think that last song was the highest rated. What I need, which was the ballad.
[00:03:41] Speaker C: Yeah. For me, that's the best song, because to me, it was more of.
[00:03:48] Speaker D: A.
[00:03:49] Speaker C: It was more of, hey, you know, this is. There are some familiar things in here, but it's. But it's more, you know, an original. It was more original for me.
So I don't know what the rest of this is gonna be like. I hope it's really not more AC DC at the beginning, because, you know, when they took it away from that, you know, the one before, the ballad, that was a little seventies glammy, and there were still parts of it that, you know, were a little too much trying too hard, I think. And the last song, I thought they weren't trying hard. They were. They were doing something that sounded, to me like, whatever their influences are together, there were some familiar things, but it wasn't so blatant.
So. Yeah, I kind of.
Yeah. I mean, and it was a. And I like when the guitar came in and stuff, so it wasn't bad.
[00:04:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:42] Speaker C: So now we're on side two, and the first one on here is stand and deliver. So what do you think's gonna happen here? We're gonna go back to that again? I hope not.
[00:04:53] Speaker B: I don't know. I mean, the. The title is obviously a common phrase.
[00:04:59] Speaker C: Mm hmm.
[00:05:02] Speaker B: Well, let's see.
[00:05:04] Speaker C: Here we go. Stand into the.
[00:05:22] Speaker D: Open your eyes what do you see?
You're circled by wolves staring patiently they licking their lips for a piece of you they lie and they wait for the wrong move.
[00:05:42] Speaker C: So, what do you.
[00:05:43] Speaker B: Think that is I'm hearing? I was actually waiting for the kings of Leon singer to come in and start singing.
But it's not bad. You know what I mean? I'm not saying, oh, we've got a song.
It's not bad. I mean, that obviously. What do you call it when you pick the strings?
[00:06:01] Speaker C: It's plucking the strings.
[00:06:02] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, the plucking, exactly. I mean, obviously, that's been using a lot of AC DC songs, but I think kind of that little ticket sugar in the background and whatever. I mean, it separates. This is almost like. Kind of like we were talking about, right. Bringing in that influence but not making it blatant, I would say.
[00:06:22] Speaker C: Yeah, it's there's still a AC DC ish thing, but it doesn't feel as blatant.
[00:06:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
And the first singing in that higher range, a little bit higher range that he does, it's not as that rat's beak of thing.
[00:06:40] Speaker C: Bon Scott, friggin Brian Johnson like AC DC sound.
So the first verse is, open your eyes, what do you see? You're circled by wolves staring patiently. They're licking their lips for a piece of you. They lie and they wait for the wrong move.
[00:06:57] Speaker B: I'm okay.
[00:06:58] Speaker C: I'm okay with this right now. I mean, again, is there a little AC DC influences? Yes, it's just. I mean, we'll see if it changes when the chorus and stuff comes, but I hope that they stick with their guns and try to make it, like, less blatant. So we'll see. Here you go.
Oh, by the way, the bass is really cool in this so far. Like, the bass. The bass is definitely not an AC DC baseline. No, it's moving around, so that. That makes it a little bit better, too.
[00:07:33] Speaker D: Show em why you are in the night.
Show em why they freeze in your high.
Show em why they buy the ticket.
Show em how you're gonna regret it.
Stand and deliver.
You gotta make em remember.
You gotta move around. Show em out at your fingers if you wanna be remembered.
[00:08:12] Speaker C: Well.
[00:08:15] Speaker B: I think I kinda went back to it.
[00:08:17] Speaker C: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but it's short.
[00:08:20] Speaker B: I mean. You know what I mean? Yeah.
[00:08:22] Speaker C: I mean, at least his vocal is not as blatant, I don't think. Yeah, the back music, though, is. Yeah, the back, there's some parts and they're like, ooh.
I mean, this is a little bit. A little bit less blatant. So I'm kind of okay right now, but, yeah, they did go back there a little bit.
[00:08:42] Speaker B: Well, they kind of did that little banana kind of thing, like those two chords. That's what it kind of reminded me of.
[00:08:50] Speaker C: No, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, I heard it.
[00:08:52] Speaker B: I was like, ah.
[00:08:55] Speaker C: All right, so second verse is. Show them why you're. Show them why you are and they're not. Show them why they freeze in your high. Show them why they brought the ticket. They bought the ticket. Show them where you're going to regret it. Stand and deliver. You got to make them remember. You got to prove them wrong. Show them all that you're bigger. So stand and deliver if you want to be remembered.
Yeah, so far, but, yeah, the little picking thing now and then that. All right. I mean, again, it's a little less. But it seems when they try to do heavier stuff, they default to this.
Let's see.
[00:09:38] Speaker D: The voucher circles over the killer.
The warden wants to keep you in jail.
The banker likes to see you broken.
They all laugh at you when they know you're that joke. They don't give a damn about you.
They don't give a shit about what you been through. You spin in your general direction.
Cause they lie your dreams. Just as long as you let em some stand. As you live up.
You gotta make em remember.
You gotta prove em wrong. Show em all that you did. Substantive and liver.
If you wanna be remembered.
If you wanna be remember.
[00:11:06] Speaker C: What did you think of that?
[00:11:07] Speaker B: I have it thrown in there with the piano.
Yeah, but I liked it.
[00:11:12] Speaker C: I liked it, too. I didn't think they could have easily went into the AC DC solo thing. And they didn't do it.
And I think this is more of.
[00:11:21] Speaker B: A sample of them where, you know, I mean, like, kind of bringing in the influences, but, you know, not just.
[00:11:27] Speaker C: Making it a copy. Although the thing in this, in the chorus, I definitely understand. I hear it now. I'm like, oh, yeah. But that's okay.
That's all right. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna ding them for that. Because, you know, obviously, acds and then make those chords up, so.
But, you know, when. Sometimes when you put them in a certain sequence, it just makes you hear certain things, so. Yeah, but I like the second verse a lot.
[00:11:49] Speaker B: I wish there was a little bit differentiation, you know, because the verse is kind of long, but it never comes out of that kind of closed hi hat, muted string thing. I kind of wish the second part was a little bit. Not like major differences have to come in, like, crashing or whatever. Just a little bit different. Yeah.
[00:12:08] Speaker C: Just to change it up a little bit.
[00:12:09] Speaker B: Yeah, open it up a little bit.
[00:12:11] Speaker C: I kind of like the sentiment of the lyrics, though. In this one, the vulture circles over the kill. The warden wants to keep you in jail. The banker likes to see you broke. They all laugh at you when they know you're their joke. They don't give a damn about you. They don't give a shit about what you've been through. They spit in your general direction. They steal all your dreams. Just as long as you let them. That's not bad. That's not bad lyric writing right there.
Yeah. And the instrumental part was, you know, I like that they did that. It definitely broke it up a little bit for me. So.
[00:12:42] Speaker B: Yeah, I like the channel.
[00:12:43] Speaker C: Yeah. It's cool.
See what you can do if you just change it up.
[00:12:49] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly.
[00:12:51] Speaker C: There you go.
[00:12:54] Speaker D: Staying ever delivered.
You gotta make em remember.
You gotta prove around. Show em all that you never.
If you wanna be remember, you gotta make a remember.
You gotta move around. Show emotion if you wanna be remembered.
[00:13:36] Speaker C: There you go. Standard of love.
[00:13:40] Speaker B: Was there any other lyrics?
[00:13:43] Speaker C: No, no, there's no delay.
[00:13:45] Speaker B: Do you want to go first on this one since.
[00:13:48] Speaker C: Yeah, I think so.
Lyrics? I think the lyrics were okay on this one. I like the second verse a lot, so I'm gonna give it a seven on layer. Musicianship is fine. I mean, again, at least there are pieces of the AC DC thing there, but they're just not as. They're not as like, only thing that's happening. Good. So I don't know, do I want to do six or do seven? I mean, I'll do seven.
I guess I'm gonna do seven on the production, too. I thought. I thought it sounded pretty decent.
So I gotta pick another 777. Nicky Titty, baby. 777. So, yeah, overall, I thought it was at least more of an original thing for me, which I like. Yeah.
What do you think?
[00:14:33] Speaker B: Well, I'm gonna say the same exact thing, actually. So you gotta find another seven. Seven.
[00:14:37] Speaker C: I'm not gonna find another 777.
[00:14:39] Speaker B: Hold on. Do you have any Bon Scott or.
[00:14:43] Speaker C: Perfect?
Yeah, I don't, though. Here we go.
[00:14:47] Speaker D: Nippy titty, baby. 777.
[00:14:50] Speaker C: Yeah, I thought it was a little more original.
[00:14:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, they're getting away from. I mean, you know, three songs into it or three songs away from it, it seems where it's.
You can pick the influences but not say, oh, man, come on.
[00:15:03] Speaker C: Yeah, well, we're also listening for it now, too, which makes it worse, because now, anything they do, like that, you're like, oh, no, here we go.
All right, so three songs in, so forth. So this is. Baby, I'm back. Let's see what this is about.
[00:15:31] Speaker D: Woke up this morning and the first thing I said was, I don't ever want to drink again.
I'm not saying I'm some sort of saint but my head ain't so bad that I can't think straight and come and cry but my favorite brain say, come on over, baby, my party just began well, maybe I'll just have one.
Do I sound so nice?
Dead time's a challenge.
Put the fuck I.
Baby, I'm bad swinging from the chanter baby, I'm back.
Did they kick me out here?
[00:16:36] Speaker C: So what do you think of that?
[00:16:38] Speaker B: Not bad. So tell me, when he was counting off, right? And he was like twice, when he did three times the charm, did you go bomp bom bom in your head? Yes, because I tap bum bum.
[00:16:49] Speaker C: I mean, I know he was going to do the four bomb bomb.
[00:16:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Which is fine.
[00:16:53] Speaker C: I actually liked it.
[00:16:54] Speaker B: It's not bad.
[00:16:56] Speaker C: It's. It's kind of like a bluesy thing, but not. I like how they do. Like he. He talks the lyrics underneath.
[00:17:05] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:17:06] Speaker C: Singing and lyrics in the verse.
[00:17:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:08] Speaker C: Again, this is what I'm trying to say. Take your stuff, stick it in a blender, have it come out.
[00:17:12] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, it's still got that influence in there, right. But I'm not sitting here going, I was waiting for it. I mean, when the chorus, I was like, this is gonna. He's gonna fucking. This is getting straight up something from back in black or whatever. But he did like it's there, but it's not too much there, right?
[00:17:29] Speaker C: No.
[00:17:30] Speaker B: And they got the two guitars doing different things. It's because it's like. Again with the bum, bum, bum going on. And I like the sound too, in.
[00:17:37] Speaker C: The guitar and the stereo separated like one on one side, on the other side. Like the kings of Leon stuff. Yeah, yeah. I just. I think this is better, you know, but here it is. Like if you just went into this wreck and you heard the first three, right. And you got so pissed off that you didn't listen to the rest of it, you might have missed it. Missed some good stuff later on.
[00:18:01] Speaker B: Yeah, because other stuff is kind of so like.
[00:18:06] Speaker C: No, I mean, we barely. We don't even know what the band is. So there you go.
[00:18:11] Speaker B: Well, now we do, right?
[00:18:13] Speaker C: Now we do. Alright, so here are the lyrics. Woke up this morning and the first thing I said was I don't want to ever drink again I'm not saying I'm some sort of saint but my head aches so bad that I can't see straight incoming call from my favorite friend she said come on over baby the party's just began well, maybe I just have one twice sounds so nice third time's a charm put the fourth on ice Baby, I'm back swinging from the chandelier Baby, I'm back till they kick me out of the. Of here baby, I'm back so he's got a problem, obviously.
[00:18:46] Speaker B: It's. I like the verse, you know what I mean? I think everybody, well, anybody who's ever drank can kind of understand where he's going.
I just feel like the chorus, I don't know. It could have gone somewhere else like this. Baby, I'm back. It's just really. You know what I mean? It's so. Such a stock line.
[00:19:07] Speaker C: Mm hmm.
[00:19:08] Speaker B: Again, it's. It's not, it's not bad, but.
[00:19:15] Speaker C: In the song, so more than normal.
So it's good. Yeah. I mean, I like it that it's not a copy of something again, so it's good. This is what I hope.
[00:19:27] Speaker B: You throw them into a blender, and then you kind of come out with this.
[00:19:31] Speaker C: Mm hmm. Yeah.
All right, let's continue.
[00:19:42] Speaker D: Woke up in my boots near the sunglasses on I can't find my wallet and my keys gone it's ringing I hear my head on my phone guess I did it again now I'm back to square one baby, come back over I'm all alone well, maybe I need one to get my head screwed on do I sound so nice?
That time's a child put the fondant eyes baby, I'm bae singing from the center. See baby, I kick me out here baby, I.
[00:20:59] Speaker C: Before we go into that solo, that was short. Boy, was that two bars in and out.
[00:21:07] Speaker B: It came in weird, right? It almost feels like he wasn't finished singing. The guitar player, like, I'm just gonna start soloing.
And then it just ended abruptly.
[00:21:16] Speaker C: Yeah. It could be a little longer.
[00:21:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I think so.
[00:21:21] Speaker C: Well, there's a lot of lyrics I have to read. Let me read these lyrics. There's a lot.
And my head hurts man, it's crazy. I woke up in my boots mirrored sunglasses on I can't find my wallet and my keys are gone is the ringing I hear in my head or my phone guess I did it again now I'm back to square one baby, come back over I'm all alone maybe well, maybe I need one to get my head screwed on twice sounds so nice. Third time's the tron put the fourth on ice and then back to the chorus. But I like that they had the little bottle sound in the second verse. Now they got a phone that's cool. I mean, they're doing some cool stuff. What?
[00:21:57] Speaker B: I like the little sound effects.
[00:21:59] Speaker C: Yeah, I like the sound effects. It's good. All right, let's continue.
[00:22:04] Speaker D: Late afternoon my friends had enough they all love to tell me how I love, I love to apologize, but I'll just do it mo, you gonna run with the boo, you gonna know the hound baby, I'm back swim from the shit dancing I'm bad can they kick me out of here?
Rock up in the outside singing with the champagne.
[00:22:58] Speaker C: Didn't like that too much, huh?
[00:23:01] Speaker B: I like going into the little batback.
[00:23:05] Speaker C: Mm hmm. Yeah. No, I mean, again, more of something that's taking their influences and making something for themselves, which I like.
Let me read the last verse. Late afternoon my friends had enough.
They all love to tell me how I fucked up. I love to apologize. I'd love to apologize, but I'll just do it more. You're gonna run with the bull. You're gonna know the horns.
And then back to chorus. Double the chorus up. I wish the solo was a little longer. I like the little riff in the core, in the verse, I mean, in the chorus, that's a little zeppelinini, I think. The chorus.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I can hear that.
[00:23:39] Speaker C: Yeah, a little bit.
So why don't you go first?
[00:23:44] Speaker B: Let me see. Lyrics. I mean, not that I condone it, but unfortunately, there's times when some people can kind of associate with this. Not as badly, thank God. But I'll say seven. I think they're clever lyrics, the way he uses them, the way he says things. So I'll say seven on the music.
I like the music.
I like the guitar sound.
I'm gonna say seven on the production.
Again, I'm still not crazy about that snare sound, but overall, I mean, again, it's not bad. So, yeah, triple. Triple sevens again.
[00:24:26] Speaker C: Yeah. Boy, it's gonna work out today.
[00:24:28] Speaker B: I know.
[00:24:29] Speaker C: Nikki titty, baby. 777.
[00:24:31] Speaker B: What do you think?
[00:24:33] Speaker C: I think I'm doing sevens across two. Nice.
I like the little riff in the chorus.
I wish the guitar sold was longer.
The production's fine. Yeah, the snare sounds not great, but, I mean, the rest of the kit sounds all right. I mean, it's still better than some of the other stuff we've heard. Oh, yeah, definitely, you know, for 2022 production. You know what I mean? So, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, I think in general, it's a decently produced thing. So I like it. So now I gotta find.
Yeah, no, and at least now this second side, I think I'm liking more than the first side.
[00:25:11] Speaker B: So, I mean, so far. I mean. I mean, again, I wasn't necessarily crazy about that. What I, you know, we call that seventies glam and the ballad, but again, it's, hey, all of a sudden, we've kind of switched away from what we feel. What we felt sounded exactly like AZdC. And now it's like, oh, okay. Now we kind of hear this blending of influences.
So. And it's getting better. I mean, the songwriting is better overall, the lyrics, I think, are better.
[00:25:43] Speaker C: Yeah.
Well, here's my seven. Seven set.
Yeah, I think. I think it's getting better as I was starting to get really pissed, so.
All right, so here we go. So the next one is everlasting love kind of ballad thing, you think?
Oh, no, here we go.
[00:26:14] Speaker D: Girl, where you going?
I've seen you here twice before the world, it keeps on rolling and I'm never at a place to go baby, I can't shake you in my head stuck like a song.
Your melodies, your words. The bees and the birds were running to it. I'm not alone I've been waiting for so long you came running right into my arms everlasting love always lifting me up everlasting love never can get me now.
[00:27:13] Speaker C: So good.
I like it.
[00:27:17] Speaker B: I'm liking that.
[00:27:18] Speaker C: I like the little riff.
[00:27:20] Speaker B: Yeah, it's catchy. I mean, it's super catchy.
Little kings of Leon, actually. I believe it or not, I hear a little motley crue in the. In the chorus.
I don't know why. Picking some Vince Neil up in the chorus.
[00:27:33] Speaker C: I think it's his singing thing on the song. It's very, like that area of vocal, maybe.
So, yeah, I like it. Again. Again. Taking all your stuff, put it together, and coming out with a song.
[00:27:49] Speaker B: Right. That's.
[00:27:50] Speaker C: That is familiar, but it's not like a total rip of something else.
[00:27:54] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:55] Speaker C: Which I like.
This is what I was hoping for in the record. You know what I mean?
[00:28:00] Speaker B: But when you first got those first.
[00:28:01] Speaker C: Three, I thought I was getting really pissed. I'm like, oh, this fucking whole thing is gonna be like this. But it's not, you know, once we got past that third song. Yeah.
And this side has been really much better.
Never happens.
[00:28:14] Speaker B: I know.
[00:28:15] Speaker C: When is the second side ever better than the first side?
[00:28:18] Speaker B: We haven't had too many, and we can probably count on one hand. I mean, we've had some second sides that were pretty. I mean, I remember, like, we've talked about rival sons before. I remember that being a pretty strong second side.
[00:28:31] Speaker C: I think that whole album was pretty strong.
[00:28:33] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, overall, it was. I mean, I think we're all pretty impressed with that.
[00:28:38] Speaker C: All right, so here's the verse. Girl, where you going? I've seen you here twice before the world that keeps on rolling and I've never had a place to go baby, I can't shake you and my head stuck like a song. Your melodies, your words, the bees and the birds we're humming to it all night long and then pre choruses I've been waiting for so long you came and running right into my arms and choruses. Everlasting love always lifting me up everlasting love never can get it never can get me enough so it's very positive. It's a very positive about a woman, right?
[00:29:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I would think so. He's talking about drugs.
[00:29:20] Speaker C: He bounces all over the place, but that's good.
[00:29:23] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:29:23] Speaker C: All right. I'm. I'm happy with this. Let's see.
Maybe they'll have a solo that lasts more than, like, two bars.
[00:29:29] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly.
[00:29:30] Speaker C: Would be nice. Here we go.
[00:29:36] Speaker D: Lady. It's no illusion it's not from a mystical layer this love is a solid foundation and I'm not being right where I stand I've been waiting for so long you came running right into my arms can you be my lover? Can you be true? Never find another man as fine as your everlasting love always lifting me up everlasting love never can give me love everlasting love, always lifting me up never I say love never can get me in love never can get me.
[00:31:00] Speaker C: Here'S that thing again where the guitar, the rhythm guitar is so loud.
[00:31:04] Speaker B: Yeah, that was that.
[00:31:06] Speaker C: It cut. It kind of covers up the guitar solo.
[00:31:08] Speaker B: Did you like that, the fact that he did just that?
[00:31:12] Speaker C: Um, I think I would have liked. Yeah, I mean, I don't hate that.
I mean, I maybe would like him do it twice, maybe, and then did something else and maybe come back if it was a little bit longer. I don't know.
[00:31:27] Speaker B: I don't hate that.
[00:31:28] Speaker C: I mean, if that's what it is, I just think that it's just not mixed. That part's not mixed very well. And it seems like that happens a lot where they get, you know, the rhythm guitar so loud that, you know, the lead guitar, you have a hard time hearing it.
[00:31:42] Speaker B: So it's kind of like a background thing, almost.
[00:31:45] Speaker C: Yeah, well, it was like that in Kings of Leon, too, I think a.
[00:31:48] Speaker B: Little bit, but I think that that was more ambient. I think the production on that album was better than this one. You know what I mean?
[00:31:55] Speaker C: Yes. 100%. Yes. All right, so here's the lyrics, lady. It's no illusion it's not from a mystical land this love is a solid foundation and I'm happy and I'm happy right where I stand and in the pre chorus. I've been waiting for so long you came running right into my arms can you be my lover? Can you be true? Never find another none as fine as you and then I don't know the course the same.
Yeah, pretty much. They just kind of repeat it.
But, yeah, I'm. I'm. I'm appreciating this a little bit more because at least now it feels like it's here, you know? This is what they sound like.
[00:32:35] Speaker B: So, I mean, I'm getting more and more curious to hear their other stuff at this point to see what.
What happens. Yeah.
[00:32:41] Speaker C: Again, if you would have taken the first three songs, you would not have been. You'd have just been like, we know what this is.
[00:32:49] Speaker B: I mean, if the sounds were reversed. Right?
If you think about. Okay, yeah, you hear that? You hear. Then all of a sudden you're like, wait a second. What the hell's going on now? Yeah, this is all easy.
[00:33:01] Speaker C: DC what happened?
Here we go.
[00:33:07] Speaker D: I've been waiting for so long you came on running can you be my lover? Can you be true? Never found another night as far as you my everlasting ground always lifting me up everlasting love never can get me in love Maya last a love always missing me out everlasting love never can get me a. No.
[00:33:58] Speaker B: Like the little rocket. Right thing, though.
[00:34:00] Speaker C: Yeah, I was gonna say that. Yeah, it was.
[00:34:03] Speaker B: And I heard. I heard Robert Planet is love.
[00:34:06] Speaker C: Yeah, that's okay, though.
[00:34:08] Speaker B: Yeah, it's fine. That's what I'm saying. I'm cool with that. I mean.
[00:34:14] Speaker D: Um.
[00:34:16] Speaker C: So what am I gonna give this? What am I gonna give this?
I don't know. I mean, I could, you know, I'm gonna say seven on the lyrics again, because I think lyrics are pretty good. I liked it.
Well, as good as last lyrics. That's the question. Maybe six. I mean, they're not bad, but I don't think we're as good as the last song.
Musicianship. I'm gonna give a seven and I'm gonna ding the. I'm gonna ding the production again for that thing where the guitar soul is just not loud enough, but, you know, I think it's produced decent. At least. It's not like something you can't just listen to because it's so loud. So that's good. Like, people are starting to go in the other direction.
[00:35:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:35:03] Speaker C: What do you think?
[00:35:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm gonna say six on the lyrics, seven on the music.
I'll see seven on the production. Honestly, the drums were a little, like, even that, dude, like, again, there's not as much power as I would like behind it, but if I give it six, seven, six. This is not. Go on the playlist.
[00:35:27] Speaker C: Yeah, it's.
[00:35:29] Speaker B: I got it. We got to get it on there.
[00:35:32] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:35:32] Speaker B: I'll say 677. Does that get it on there?
[00:35:35] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:35:36] Speaker B: All right.
[00:35:38] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:35:39] Speaker B: I think we both agree with that. This actually be on. On the list.
[00:35:42] Speaker C: Yeah, no, I'm. Again, I'm happy that. I'm happy to change. I was getting really mad, so I'm happy now that we ended up now starting to hear things that are not just, you know, copies of other stuff. So it's good. Yeah. And the songs are short. The songs are short. Catchy. I mean, this is a very catchy song. Very poppy.
[00:36:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:36:07] Speaker C: All right.
[00:36:07] Speaker B: Could have been a hit at some point.
[00:36:09] Speaker C: Yeah.
So the next song is called nothing.
Here we go.
[00:36:29] Speaker D: So sick and tired I'm so sick and tired yeah, I'm so sick and tired always trying and ending up with nothing ain't got much time, no, I ain't got much time, baby, I ain't got much time to give always ending up with nothing.
[00:37:14] Speaker C: I mean, I kind of knew it was gonna do that.
[00:37:18] Speaker B: I thought you stopped the song, actually.
[00:37:22] Speaker C: Oh, really?
Yeah.
[00:37:25] Speaker B: Well, it was. The pause was a little bit longer than I thought. I was about to chime in. It's like today was like, nothing. Oh, shit. Even stop.
[00:37:32] Speaker C: Yeah. But again, like, this is good, too, because this is not really good. Now, this. Yeah, it's. It's got that little swampy, kind of southern kind of thing going on.
His vocals. A little dry, though. They don't really do very much with him. I mean, I think he needs all the bit of something.
[00:37:48] Speaker B: Yeah, he's zero reverb.
[00:37:51] Speaker C: Yeah, he needs a little bit of something.
So the verse is. So sick and tired I'm so sick and tired yeah, I'm so sick and tired always trying to end up with nothing ain't got much time, no, I ain't got much time, baby, I ain't got much time to give always ended up with nothing it's a very blues thing to do to repeat over and over and then change the last line.
[00:38:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:14] Speaker C: But, you know, I don't hate it. I kind of like the little riff.
I said, I have a feeling they're gonna go back down again and not gonna keep.
[00:38:29] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:38:29] Speaker C: Heavy again.
[00:38:30] Speaker B: I think so.
[00:38:31] Speaker C: Yeah. Which they should do.
[00:38:33] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:35] Speaker C: All right, here we go.
[00:38:42] Speaker D: You stole out my stuff, you stole out my life my disservice and left me with nothing I'm just a fool, yeah, I'm your little fool.
You drag me, you beat me and always complete me with nothing yet always I leave and they win nothing always leaving me win nothing. Yeah.
Take on my love.
[00:39:47] Speaker C: Not really. Any kind of, like, solo or anything?
[00:39:50] Speaker B: No. Unless it comes after this.
[00:39:53] Speaker C: Maybe. Maybe at the end. Well, yeah, I think there is some kind of instrumental break coming up, so maybe that's there.
Let me read you verse.
You stole all my love, you stole all my stuff? You stole all my life, my desires? And left me with nothing? I'm just a fool, yeah, I'm your little fool, you drag me, you beat me and always complete me with nothing?
He changed it up a little bit there. He didn't do this same repeating stuff. A little bit similar, but not the same.
Yeah, I think. I think.
[00:40:23] Speaker B: Go ahead.
[00:40:24] Speaker C: Getting better.
[00:40:26] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I think he has a powerful.
I wish he had a lower range, too, though, right? I mean, even in a song like this, a little bit where he just goes. I mean, he just kind of sings at the same range the whole time, so I just wish he kind of had. Okay, you got the high. I'm pretty sure you got the lower. At least not low. Lower in there. So he kind of threw a little bit in there. And that would also help to differentiate, especially in a song like this where the verse is really quiet, you know, not that it sounds bad. I mean, I think he has a good voice, but sometimes I'm just like. I want to hear something other than that range.
[00:41:11] Speaker C: Yeah.
Yeah. But his voice is pretty strong, though.
[00:41:15] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely. Yeah, I fucking, like, fake him.
He's definitely got a strong voice. I mean, I'd be curious to hear them live.
[00:41:24] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm gonna have to start. I'll have to go see if I can find. Find something live and see what it's like.
All right, let's continue. Third verse.
[00:41:35] Speaker D: Take on my love, take on my pride?
Leave me to die? I'm just trying to survive with nothing I'll be all right, I'll be just fine?
Born into this love the same as I got that twist.
Nothing.
[00:42:55] Speaker C: Good solo.
[00:42:58] Speaker B: I don't want to speak.
[00:43:01] Speaker C: You never know because he breaks this up a lot. Yeah, I like that they finally got a decent guitar solo. I mean, the rhythm guitar is still loud, but at least this time you can hear the guitar, I think, better. A little bit, anyway.
[00:43:20] Speaker B: It's kicking the shit out of the first.
[00:43:22] Speaker C: It's kicking this shit out of the first side.
[00:43:24] Speaker B: I mean, it's just stomping it to the fucking ground.
[00:43:27] Speaker C: Yeah, it's doing. It's doing fucking history.
American history. X to this fucking thing. That's what it.
Yep. Right on the curb. All right, so here is the third verse. Take all my love take on my pride leave me to die I'm just trying to survive with nothing I'll be all right I'll be just fine born into this life the same as I'll die that's with nothing. That's pretty good. That's a pretty good bunch of things right there.
[00:43:54] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:43:55] Speaker C: Yeah. So why don't you go first?
[00:43:58] Speaker B: I'm gonna say six in the lyrics. The only reason being is because it got better, but it kind of started off with a little bit too much repetition, and I feel like I've given seven two to better.
I like the music.
I don't know if I want to give it an eight, though. You know what? It's late in the game. I mean, obviously, this side is better, so let's. Let's. Let's give him an eight. I mean, I I like the riff. I like the way it was done. I love the solo. I mean, that's the kind of solo that I really wanted them to do, and they did it. And, uh, honestly, I'm gonna say an eight on the production.
I really like the way the acoustic guitar sounded. It sounded pure, you know what I mean? And there was some good dynamics and everything, so. Yeah, I mean, over a really strong song. What do you think?
[00:44:49] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm gonna do seven on the lyrics. I liked. I liked where he ended up. Yeah. The beginning was very repetitive, but I like how he changed it up slowly. And then the third one, he made it totally different as far as, like, he didn't repeat as much.
[00:45:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:45:01] Speaker C: So I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do seven on that. Yeah. Music. I'm gonna give an eight. Four. Finally got guitar solo. It was a very good blues rock guitar solo.
It wasn't. It wasn't in the style of something else. It was. Whatever he was doing, it was good.
I'm gonna give eight on the production, but I still think that that rhythm guitar underneath the solo needs to come down a little bit. I don't know what the hell's going on there. It's just. I would rather it not do that, so. But, yeah, I mean, this. This side is definitely kicking the crap out of the first side.
[00:45:29] Speaker B: And again, I mean, to me, this goes to what I say, where, again, none of these songs are anything that you've never heard before. Right. There's nothing here. You're like, oh, my. But they're just good songs, right?
[00:45:40] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:45:40] Speaker B: And they're taking the influences, and you're hearing, you know, I still heard some AC DC in there, too, and whatever. But it's. But it's cool. It's not blatant. You know what I mean? I'm not playing, like, back, like. You know what I mean? Like a specific riff. It's like, jesus, come on, man. That's way too much like that.
[00:45:59] Speaker C: Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying.
[00:46:00] Speaker B: That.
[00:46:00] Speaker C: That's why I think the second side is kicking the crap out. The first side, actually, from the. From the last song on the first side to now, it changed at that last song. And then it just. It just did a whole, you know, total 180 or 90 degrees.
[00:46:15] Speaker B: I'd even throw in that freaking. That seventies sounding whatever. You know what I mean? Just because maybe again, I mean, I think these songs are definitely better than that. But let's say it started there. They're like, all right, let's start here. We kind of go through this stuff. And even if you threw one of those first two songs. Because I think the first two were really AC DC. And you kind of had one here and one there.
You can hear. Yeah. It was all together. Yeah, because it's one, two, three.
Okay. Words like you. You were saying, you're getting pissed off. You're like, what. What am I listening to here?
[00:46:52] Speaker C: Yeah, I know. Well, I'm glad. I'm glad we're being forced to listen through this. Because we would. I would have stopped if it was on my own device. I would have got to the third. So I said, fuck this. I am listening to the rest of this.
So. All right, so the next song is called three chords. Is it going to be three chords, I wonder?
[00:47:10] Speaker B: Say three chords in the truth.
[00:47:12] Speaker C: Yep. Here we go.
Did the Rolling Stones give them that song?
[00:47:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:47:25] Speaker C: Yeah.
I really hope they don't do what I think they're gonna do.
[00:47:30] Speaker B: Let's see where this going. Now. I'm curious.
[00:47:33] Speaker C: Yeah, me, too. Here we go.
[00:47:41] Speaker D: Grandpa Wilson was the first to be saved he traveled the country playing on the church stage they passed the hat that was all he was paid he was a dying breed long before his day came up and he brought him to tea they run the aisle talking tongues in the cheek they asked him how we did it his response was the same there was a little voice inside to get on call and his name and said give a free call in the holy ghost they're starting moving and shaking on the flow don't let up when they start to sweat they'll be dancing all night long and revive watching dance now we'll.
[00:48:40] Speaker C: Now the only thing I can say is, is that, yes, it's more AC DC ish, but at least his vocals are not trying to be the way it was in the first three songs. That I think is kind of saving this a little bit for me.
[00:48:54] Speaker B: But there's definitely a lot of rolling songs in there, too, though.
[00:48:57] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, well, the riff is almost.
It's besides, like, a little part. Little things here and there. It's almost this rolling stone giraffe.
[00:49:06] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, but even the guitar, like, once he comes out of the plugin, there's that guitar sound in the back. I mean, I'm like, holy shit. That is. Whoever it. Please, you know, I don't know if it's wood, if it's. What's his name? Richards. Whoever plays that style, you know, maybe. Maybe you can forgive him a little bit more at this point.
[00:49:33] Speaker C: Well, I mean, if I know that that riff sounds like that. He knows that that riff sounds like that.
[00:49:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:49:39] Speaker C: So.
[00:49:39] Speaker B: And again, there's nothing wrong. Sometimes it's saying, oh, you know, check out this riff. It kind of sounds like the stones. Yeah. It's kind of cool. You know what I mean? Because you can sound like worse bands.
[00:49:48] Speaker C: Of course, of course. Yeah. I mean, again, I think that the vocals are saving this for me, that it's not sounding just like that.
All right, so here are the. And the only. And. And at least the vocal. At least the lyrics are telling a story, too, which is good. Again, it still saves the situation. So Grandpa will be. Wilbur was the first to be saved he traveled the country playing on the church stage they passed a hat that was all he was paid he was a dying breed long before his day lights came up and he brought him to tears they run the aisle talked in tongues and they cheered they asked him how he did it his response was the same there was a little voice inside that kept calling his name that said, give him three chords in the Holy Ghost they'll start him moving and shaking on the floor don't let up when they start to sweat they'll be dancing all night long when the revival hits and then it's a. Now go watch him dance now go on and dance.
So there's, like, a story going on?
Yeah. I mean, yeah, the riff does sound like a. Does sound like the Rolling Stones, but.
[00:50:59] Speaker B: Yeah, but see, it's not. It's not pissing you off at this point, right, because they kind of won you over a bit now. It's more like, okay, yeah, this sounds like the stones. I'm like, you know.
[00:51:10] Speaker C: Well, yeah, well, again, you know, if he was singing like. Like Keith Richards when he was doing this, I think I have a problem, but he's not, so it helps a little bit. Yeah, but I would. I rather them not copy the fucking riff. Yes.
So, I mean, I'm not. I mean, I'm not gonna go back and say, that doesn't bother me a little bit, that. Because, you know, they know.
It's too close.
It's too close. All right, here we go.
[00:51:43] Speaker D: The message is different, but the chords are the same. Every night in the green room here I'm calling my name it says give a big cause it's a rocky road they sound a movin and shaking on the flow don't let it up when they start to say it they'll be waving in a cabin and they're shaking their hands yay. Oh, yeah they wanna feel the rhythm and they're ready for mo so give em three counts.
Give them their mo now watch em.
[00:52:26] Speaker A: Dance.
[00:52:28] Speaker D: Go on and dance go on and dance go on and dance yeah he gave em three coats and the holy ghost I give em rock and roll don't let up when they start to dance they keep moving and they're shaking and a waving their hands yeah, oh, yeah there they go they wanna feel the river ready for mo so give a great count if I'm rocking around yay.
Go watch all.
[00:54:04] Speaker C: They can't help themselves they can't help themselves they fell right into the AC DC thing. Right, like, at the end of that thing.
[00:54:13] Speaker B: Yeah, I probably heard that, too. But you know what?
I was gonna say, at this point, I'm kind of okay with it, because it wasn't the whole song. You know what I mean? It didn't. And yet, was it closed pretty damn close to a Rolling Stones, where I'm almost like, wait a second. What song is that?
But like you said, his vocal delivery.
Right. Added to it. I mean, I really like the organ at the end.
The soul, I thought was pretty good.
[00:54:43] Speaker C: Yeah.
I don't know. I just. I wish that they wouldn't just fall back into that default thing, like you went from Rolling Stones to AC DC.
That's the.
Yeah, I mean, obviously, the keyboard stuff, they. That stuff is not AC DC, but.
All right, let me read. There's a bunch of stuff to read. So now Wilbur's gone and the path that he charted now it's up to me to carry on what he started the message is different, but the chords are the same every night in the green room hear him calling my name he said, give him three chords and some rock and roll that started moving and the shaking on the floor. Don't let up. When they start to dance, they'll be waving and a clapping and shaking their hands. Oh, yeah, there they go. They want to feel the rhythm and they're ready for more. So give them three chords. Give them three more.
And then there's a post chorus that says, now watch him dance. Go on and dance. Go on, dance. One, dance. Then the chorus happens again. Same chorus. I just said. And then, obviously the keyboard thing and the guitar thing and out.
I don't know.
I just wish they wouldn't default into that. That's all. That's all. I think when they don't do that, they're better.
[00:55:57] Speaker B: Do you want to go first then on this one?
[00:56:00] Speaker C: Guess I'm gonna go first.
They were doing so well.
When I heard the thing. Three chords, I was thinking, oh, they're gonna do fucking AC DC army, aren't they?
I mean, it could be a little tugging cheek that way, but I'm just. I'm a little fucking shell shocked from the first three songs. But, like, I don't want to hear that anymore from them.
So, I mean, I like the story in the lyrics, so that's why it's gonna get a seven.
Musician wise, I don't think it's very original. I think they should know that that's a rolling stone drift. They should know that sounds like AC DC. I'm giving that a five. It's played well, it's done well. I just. I can't give you something that's not your shit, so that's not something you came up with. So I can't give you any more than that. And production, I like to. Production, I'm going to say seven on that. But, yeah, the. The part that, you know, the fact that they couldn't just hold. They couldn't do what they did on other songs. They had to. When they're going into this upbeat thing, it ends up being like that. I don't know why.
Maybe it's just an easy fallback. I don't know. You're right.
[00:57:11] Speaker B: I mean, obviously it's a cool little story.
See, music is hard for me because I wasn't crazy about it when it started. Started, but I liked it better as it progressed.
But I gave sevens to things that I thought were better. So I'm gonna say six.
And, yeah, production, I'll say seven. I don't. I don't think it's a bad song.
I mean, obviously, you know, it is what it is.
But, like I said, I think they kind of gave it a little bit more of their own, as opposed to the first two, where I felt like there was nothing there.
So, I mean, if I had to take this or those, I would definitely take this.
And again, let's say they started with this song. We're like, okay. You kind of hear it, and then they kind of progress to the silver stuff that we haven't, you know, that we're hearing now.
It would have been better.
[00:58:09] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:58:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:58:11] Speaker C: I just. You know, when I hit. When I hear the Rolling Stone riff and I hear it, I know they hear it.
So it's just. You can't. Just can't do that, you know, that's why I got a five for me. It's not that it's played badly, because it's not played badly, but it's just, you know.
Yeah, I just. I don't need to hear that.
All right, last song.
This one's called black, so black.
Spinal tap.
[00:58:43] Speaker B: How much blacker can it be?
[00:58:48] Speaker C: What'd you say?
[00:58:51] Speaker B: What's the line? How much blacker can it be?
[00:58:53] Speaker C: Or none. More black.
[00:58:56] Speaker B: That's such a great one.
[00:58:58] Speaker C: No more black.
[00:59:00] Speaker B: I don't think anybody who's ever been in a band cannot appreciate that movie.
[00:59:03] Speaker C: Oh, it's a great movie. I hear they're doing a new one.
[00:59:06] Speaker B: Yeah, they're making part two, I heard.
[00:59:08] Speaker C: Mm hmm. Yeah. That should be interesting.
[00:59:10] Speaker B: Michael McCain's still pretty funny. He's been here.
[00:59:13] Speaker C: But it's hard. It's gonna be hard to, like, top that. That crazy, like, cult following it has. Because what it turned out to be.
[00:59:21] Speaker B: So the premise has got to be some big comeback, right? Where.
[00:59:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:59:28] Speaker B: I tell you what would be funny, though, right? If they start. If they. They do, like, they find, like, the track shift where things go wrong and, like, he's done singing, or the thing is singing, and they try to do a stonehenge again, and maybe this time it's, like, too big.
[00:59:43] Speaker C: It's too big. Yeah. It's not. Yeah.
[00:59:45] Speaker B: There's so many great scenes in that movie.
[00:59:47] Speaker C: I know.
All right. So black. He goes black.
[00:59:55] Speaker D: Everyone'S talking. Yip, yeah yip, yeah. Hard to stand up with the knife in your back tongue like a gun rat a tat tat tat I'm gonna get high till it all turns black oh, yeah hurt people, hurt people tic tac, tic tac tell your brother out for get back ovation cap clap clap, clap I'm gonna get hot till it all turns back till it all turns back outta you looking for that next thing.
[01:01:08] Speaker C: I think I actually like this.
[01:01:11] Speaker B: I like it, too. I actually wish the words weren't so.
You know what I mean? Kind of stupid.
I mean, they're not all stupid, right? There's a good sentiment there. I wish he wasn't doing something. Yip yap yap in the k guy, you know, like the Billy Joel thing.
Because I do. I like the music that's going on. I mean, I like his melody.
It's pretty. It is. It's cool.
[01:01:35] Speaker C: Yeah. See, I appreciate this much more than the one prior because it's like. It's an astronaut. It's their style, what they're doing.
Yeah. So I have to read these lyrics, huh? Okay.
[01:01:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I know.
[01:01:51] Speaker C: Everyone's talking Yip yap, yip yap hard to stand up with a knife in your back tongue like a gun rat a tat tat tat I'm gonna get high till it all turns black hurt people hurt people tit sell your brother out for a kickback standing ovation clap, clap, clap, clap I'm gonna get high so it all turns black it all turns black oh it all turns black oh for all you looking for that next big number here's another feel good hit of the summer. So he's trying to make it. He's trying to make.
Tell you about is. It's about the music industry, but other bands, you know, that everyone's talking hard to stand up with a knife in your back say one thing to your face when you turn around, they stab you in the back.
[01:02:40] Speaker B: Yeah. I feel like those last two lines are kind of like tongue in cheek, you know what I mean? It's like. Because it's singable, right? I mean, the melody kind of sticks with you. So he's like, oh, here's the hit of the summer. You find yourself singing along, but then you're like, wait a second.
This isn't a feel big song.
[01:02:59] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:03:00] Speaker B: You know what I mean? Like, those songs that we've done that have, like, happy, like, their most of their own stuff and whatever. This isn't happy lyrics, this music.
[01:03:08] Speaker C: Isn't there another feel good hit of the summer?
[01:03:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:03:13] Speaker C: Yeah, that's all right. I like that. Here we go.
[01:03:20] Speaker D: I don't even need you I belly need myself watch it up till there's nothing else watch it out loud I'm face it fucking back I'm gonna get high till it all turns black until it all turns black all right, everybody talking yip yip yip yip about to get high till it all turns blame uh oh.
Till it all turns blame.
[01:05:05] Speaker C: I don't know. I kind of like that.
[01:05:06] Speaker B: That was good.
[01:05:08] Speaker C: They redeemed himself. The riffs are really good, too.
[01:05:11] Speaker B: That burning, it reminded me of something I can't think of. Like, it's right there.
[01:05:18] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't. I mean, it sounds familiar, but I. But I don't think. I don't think it says maybe it's rip, too. I don't know. I like this.
[01:05:24] Speaker B: I mean, you know, overall, kind of rent you a little bit of. Almost like a hairy, hairy, heavy 70 style Aerosmith song. Like some of the heavier stuff they did back in the seventies.
[01:05:37] Speaker C: Yeah, I can see that.
[01:05:37] Speaker B: Almost. You know who he reminds me of in this? And I could be off. I was been thinking the whole time, not exactly the same, but he runs with John Corabi.
Like, if you think about.
[01:05:49] Speaker C: Yeah, I can hear a little bit.
[01:05:50] Speaker B: That's what I'm thinking. Like, when he kind of stays in this range, I mean, he's got a, you know, pretty strong voice, too, so.
[01:05:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
So, um, here's the third verse. I don't need you I barely need myself watch it all burn up until there's nothing else watch it all light up pacing forth and back I'ma get high till it all turns black yeah, it's, uh. It's catchy. I like the riffs.
[01:06:21] Speaker B: Yeah, it's really good. I like it.
[01:06:23] Speaker C: Yeah. And why don't you go first?
[01:06:25] Speaker B: Um. All right, so I'll say seven on the lyrics. I mean, he's having fun. I can understand in the beginning, I was a bit thrown off just because I really liked the melody and everything, but I get where he's going with it, so. And I really like that. The line about the summer, you know, the feel good hit of the summer music. I'm going to say an 8th. I mean, I think this is one of my favorites.
Production is good, too. I'll say an eight on the production. I mean, I think they ended really strong. So, what do you think?
[01:06:57] Speaker C: Yeah, 100%. Seven on the lyrics.
I like. I like where he's trying to go, what he's saying. The feel good hit of the summer is pretty funny.
[01:07:06] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:07:07] Speaker C: And then. Yeah, eight on the music. I like the music a lot.
I like that. It's very.
It's more like the other stuff that they were doing. It wasn't like the three chords on, you know, that was prior and yeah, production's good. I like it.
Again. I still think that. I still think that guitar solo is kind of buried by the rhythm guitar. It's hard to. Just seems like that's what they do. So I'm just gonna. I'm gonna leave it at eight because I know otherwise the production is good. I like the riffs. I like the sentiment. I like his melody. That's pretty good. And it was very strong ending. I mean, overall, the second side is way better than the first side.
[01:07:43] Speaker B: Yeah, absolutely.
[01:07:45] Speaker C: Yeah. You know, except for the one little blip for black. If I have three chords.
[01:07:50] Speaker B: But I'm saying if that was the worst of it. Right.
[01:07:54] Speaker C: If I hadn't heard the other ones. Yeah, probably it wouldn't be as bad, like, if you flip the whole album the other way. Yeah, yeah, I probably.
[01:08:08] Speaker B: You can look at it. You can look at it two ways, right? If. Let's say they flipped it and then you like, oh, this is good, this is good. And all of a sudden they went to the last three songs and they kind of just ended on this complete AC DC vibe.
Or you say to yourself, well, I'm glad they started out with that. And then they kind of got rid of it, you know what I mean? And then they kind of just meshed it all together. The songs were much better. I mean, I guess it's better that way, right? It gave you something to look forward to.
[01:08:36] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, I have to say, I was. I was much. I was. I was pissed off at the beginning and it got better as well. I didn't know what I was gonna expect. Like, after the first side, I'm like, I hope we don't do that. But, you know, I. On the second side, they redeemed themselves. They did stuff that was more in a style that brought out, you know, whatever they do as opposed to, you know, just copying stuff, because that's what it felt like at the beginning and maybe that's not what it is, but, you know, when they do harder stuff like that, just ends up being that way. Just ends up being too AC DCR and, you know, in this case, a little, you know, the riff was, you know, definite rolling stone kind of riff. Too much anyway. Maybe it'd be like if someone wrote, you know, with or without you and use that friggin riff with the delay on it, you're like, dude, yeah, that's the same fucking riff. You can't use that. It's just too signature. You know what I mean?
[01:09:24] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, honestly, after the first three songs, I said to myself, man, I hope there's no other albums by them on the list.
And now I go, I'm really curious to see.
[01:09:35] Speaker C: To see what else?
Yeah. Like you said, this is number four. So what does the early stuff sound like one now.
[01:09:43] Speaker B: They made one this year.
[01:09:45] Speaker C: There you go.
[01:09:46] Speaker B: Yeah, this is 2024.
[01:09:48] Speaker C: So what's that called? A deep in the trouble?
[01:09:52] Speaker B: Definitely. At least a very, very strong half. Discovery.
[01:09:56] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, I always like to see new stuff because we don't really find new stuff. So, regardless, I got.
[01:10:03] Speaker B: I was gonna say, like, there's my son bringing me new stuff. I almost. I really don't. I'm not. I don't always search stuff out.
[01:10:12] Speaker C: It's hard to find. So, I mean, I'm. I'm glad we got this, because, again, it's one of those things I wouldn't have. Wouldn't have figured out. I don't know who's playing drums on here, so it's not really tight saying, who plays drums?
You wonder who. Wonder who's doing it. But I don't know if you're gonna be able. I don't know if you could tell before.
[01:10:30] Speaker B: And then I kind of stopped looking.
[01:10:33] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, we'll figure it out anyway. All right. Why don't you do your thing?
[01:10:38] Speaker B: Yep. So we are part of the Deep Dive podcast network again, like, I would say, great bunch of guys took us in right away. If you want more individualized podcasts like Rush, everybody's a rush. Ras, Judas Priest, Tom Petty. Right. Heap, you name it, it's on there. Queen maiden. So check them out. Definitely more knowledgeable about individual bands than we are. And again, check them out. And, Mark, where can they find us on the interwebs?
[01:11:07] Speaker C: We are on rock. Red lip pod on all the socials. Robert ledpodcast.com.
I mentioned it last week, again, that our Spotify lists are up. Go take a look at our Spotify lists.
They have all our picks from all the episodes, you know, in. In playlists for each, for these episodes. So it's nice, easy to find.
Yes. And put a, you know, give us a review on the podcast app of your choice and set us for auto download so you get to the latest episodes. They come out. And next week will be wheelspin again.
[01:11:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Awesome.
[01:11:45] Speaker C: Again, I want to. I mean, it threw us a curveball this time, boy. Yeah, this is like, this is like, right over left field for us.
[01:11:53] Speaker B: I mean, again, for, obviously, if we, like, we did with the ace, Fraley and McMahon. Obviously, we said that we were doing that. But if the fact that Judas Priest first album comes and then goodbye June comes doesn't prove how random this shit is, I don't know what other proof you need.
[01:12:14] Speaker C: Seriously?
Yeah. Well, I guess we will see you guys next week.
[01:12:20] Speaker B: Ciao. Ciao. Later.
