Thank you for joining the patreon Let's get right into the news of the day today is Monday and of course acdc has finally Excuse me and now it's their tour dates. Let me get this up here real quick And of course, I've known about it for a while, but I didn't want to Spoil it. I knew who the bass player was for about three weeks. I didn't want to give that away And I will give it get into my thoughts here on the bass player selection and Talk to you a little bit about that here it is. So so far only the European Dates have been announced and it's 21 of them. It looks like it's all over Europe You got Italy, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, England, Slovakia Belgium, France, Ireland That's all this summer Interesting thing about the acdc tour announcement Was it didn't really say like Celebrating 50 years it didn't say farewell tour It didn't say this is it any of that. So that was kind of interesting to me let me go to the website real quick because I Just don't know how acdc Is going to keep going unless Angus's idea is to keep getting younger guys to play the You know the role of the other guys Who knows eventually? You know who even another singer who knows because If after they do this run and let's say they do the states which they will do the states. I know that By then it'll be another year and Brian will be way older And then Angus will be older obviously and I don't know if they're just going to in an acdc fashion Just kind of disappear Like they do everything keep it all musty and And just you know Disappear and there it is you're like what happened to acdc. You don't hear you know, I don't know But they did not say That this is the farewell tour They didn't say 50 year anniversary tour, which it is the 50 year anniversary acdc none of that. I'm looking at it right now So I don't know always a mystery with acdc, which keeps it cool. I think It keeps it Really wild. I think one day somebody will come out um, who knows maybe uh, brian will do a A real documentary or something of the behind the scenes and nobody can do any of that now you'd be fired and There's all kinds of NDAs. You have to sign stuff like that but um It's always a mystery with that band and uh, it does make it cool because you're like, well, wait a minute They just dropped the tour dates. They don't say anything They say power up that was the record that they were promoting when they did the podcast a few years ago and uh, you know I I don't know but I will tell you this uh, congrats to chris chaney on the base And I can understand what they're going for here in the uh Other positions because uh, there were there were thoughts people were coming at me non-stop It's gonna be duff mccagan It's like no man. Now look they had axel fill in and they kind of needed that to a name guy to keep the You know the ticket sales so people don't go. I want my money back. Brian's not there. They go axel. Oh, that might be cool And they go a super rock star but when it comes to the other guys You can't have like a a duff mccagan or say You know any kind of other superstar type of bass player Up there You need to have guys that are almost like uh A thick blend of camouflage up there because I I said this a couple days ago to somebody As much as I fucking worship clip williams 98 of the people that love the song shook me all night long Don't even know who the people are in the band so The more that you keep it in that type of flavor of just putting You know matt louge up there and and chris chaney now I know chris chaney and a lot of people in the la music scene Know chris chaney because he is a super superstar bass player and always one of the go-to guys For studio and those big kind of rock Jams like the royal machines and camp freddy and all of that And i've known him for years. He grew up in the bay area He was really good friends with my buddy heath who worked at uh real guitars And you know he played with him honest more set And uh, I would see him all the time all over town great player and uh, you know solid human so You got to get a guy that's a killer player And then you got to get a guy who can you know Not overplay You don't want to get a fucking flea up there, you know fucking those about to rock You got to get a guy who can lay it down who looks good who's not fucking You know 30 years old the band's fucking 90 can't have some awkward looking young dude Up there and you can't have some old burnout tumbleweed Out of shape guy because you know, they're gonna be doing three hour shows You can't have some this guy used to be in fog hat Now he's in ac dc Uh, but you know, he's got a drinking problem, but he'll be he'll be okay out on the tour We'll watch after him. You know this It's got to be a fucking pro dude almost like a robot just slips into that spot Stands in front of the svt's lays down the fucking groove of live wire, you know Just back there pedaling it Same with matt louge people are like, well, who's this guy? You couldn't get some star guy's name um Now that i've thought about it over the last couple weeks because It starts to become what i think angus will eventually end up doing Hopefully it would be angus young and friends where i've said it before where he just tours and he has like a group of people like 10 guys And they rotate in throughout the night and you get to see like, you know, dave grohl and uh, you know, uh, brad wilk or a a You know josh freeze on rotate through the drums you get to see different dudes on the uh On the bass and vocals different singers I don't know, but i'll tell you this right now chris chain. He's a great fucking choice He is uh the perfect Many, you know well respected In the musical world And we'll just blend in up there To where people would just be like, oh, I don't know they sound great, you know So there it is hats off to that um No us dates the us dates will be coming Guarantee that People ask me if I will see uh, acdc. I am very happy now that I went to power trip Because that will be my last acdc show um in the books from 78 to 2003 Uh, that's my acdc chapter right there and i'm so happy I got to uh see Cliff williams last gig. I also saw Malcolm on his last tour I saw bond on his last tour And uh, I've seen phil red on his last tour Which by the way We're putting to rest finally which i've said it over and over and over It was definitely not a passport Issue with phil red playing power up Or uh, yeah A power trip power up Just like I said, man Those guys have enough money and lawyers that could have got phil red in anywhere if you can get phil red into canada To do a record Canada is the worst if you just have a drunk driving you can't fucking get into canada without paying all kinds of fees So it was not that definitely and it's definitely a proof Um now because there they are doing all of europe and there's no phil red I I already knew it wasn't that because like I said when you have that amount of money and power You can get anybody in the states Uh, no problem, especially these days anybody can get into the states these days But um, so there's that last mystery of phil red. I guess he's fired again or you know, he didn't quit But when I did interview phil red if you watched the interview I wasn't quite sure how his health was As I interviewed him, you know So I think it's a health thing Or maybe, um Maybe there's some Physical things like quick way. I'm saying he had some physical and mental stuff that he didn't want to tour anymore maybe Phil Is not saying it, but maybe he his fucking hands or who knows Shoulders drummers man. They're all fucked up We don't know we never will know but uh It'll eventually get leaked out somehow or maybe he'll get cuckoo and get online and be like they fucking burned me I don't know but uh There it is that puts the uh Puts the phil red thing. Unfortunately to rest. Here's the greatest drummer of acdc And it's funny how people try to argue that like chris laid should have been back in That's not going to happen and um And then also, uh What's the guy's name from fucking right? He uh, he's not going to be back in either because that that ship sailed a million years ago And uh, you know So there it is the acdc tour dates for so far a year up or out. Are you excited to go? Uh, let me know Hit me up on the uh, instagram and twitter and stuff Uh, people say should I go if you haven't seen acdc? Fuck yeah, you should go You should go see any band if you haven't seen a band and you've always wanted to see him That's what I say man get out there and see these bands before they go away But um You know if you've seen acdc a bunch And maybe you're they're look acdc has insane fans There's some instagram accounts that are just going crazy like i'm going to 10 dates and stuff so um You know just for me at this point in my life 50 58 years old I'm gonna just close that chapter and take the incredible memories of a power trip and uh And a thank you to acdc for a million years of unbelievable fucking uh entertainment concerts Uh are are just embedded in my brain and just incredible happy memories So i'm good with my retirement from cna cdc live unless i'm up there for some weird reason singing That will be it power trip Okay Some more thoughts we add the rock and roll hall of fame uh announcements The inductions for 2024 came out a couple days ago some great names on there Let me let me fucking get into them right here And uh, I do not waste time anymore Like I said last year. I'm not gonna waste any more time going This isn't rock and roll. This is bullshit, man, man, man If I can get over it Either watch it or don't watch it. Nobody cares the week after they get inducted anyway You don't you don't hear anyone ever talk about the rock and roll hall of fame ever except the day they make the announcement of the nominees and then You don't hear shit Ever if the rock and roll hall of fame didn't have any inductees each year Or nominees you would never ever ever hear about it It would just be something you'd check out if you're on vacation for some reason in cleveland It's the only time people talk about it and it's also really uh one of the uh A couple times a year when I just see full racism come out people like god fucking I'm a fucking ice cube Fucking or they're saying it's like yeah rock and roll hall of fame should be rock and roll It's like yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You mean the fucking what about chuck berry, you know fucking You know He's rock and roll 100% And you know, he played technically like blues and then what about all the blues guys? They're rock and roll I don't know. It's it's fucking funny. Let's look at it. Here we go. Mary J. Blanche uh, I wouldn't I wouldn't uh Put her on the on this list not because she's r and b or Or hip hop or soul or whatever you want to call it. I just uh, I would not Uh, you know vote for her or mariah carry I vote for people first that influence those people so cooling the gangs on there hundred percent Uh shade 100 before mariah carry and mary j. Blige Shade has to go in It's like my point. I always say divo before fucking nine-inch nails And uh craft work before nine-inch nails. Uh, that's just That's just how it's got to go. You got to put the fucking You got to put the original originator in there before you put the influencer Anyway, um Yeah, so share Hell yes Hell yes Put share in there for sure That that woman is pure rock and roll Had her own tv show sonny and share show had a ton of hits Uh killed it in the acting game And and then I had a huge comeback in the 80s with massive fucking videos and hits And share is rock and roll man She's got a son who's rock and roll. Oh my god. You got to put sharing Dave matthews I'm not a dave matthews fan But dave matthews definitely should be in the rock and roll hall fame He's been selling millions of records And touring at the highest level for years and years and uh, you know He definitely is rock and roll And he definitely deserves to be in there Uh, eric b and rock came 100 ground floor of hip hop which i've said it many many times Hip hop is rock and roll the old stuff especially Uh, you know the gangster rap that shit is fucking like metal And uh, you know eric b and rock came These guys are uh some of the originators So yeah, you got to put them in now. Here we go. Let's get into this I can't even fucking believe that peter frampton Is not in the rock and roll hall of fame now look I'll support your argument over like Hey man, mariah carry shouldn't be in there What you mean is mariah carry shouldn't be in there before peter frampton Because don't get it wrong The rock and roll hall of fame has just become like a music hall of fame is what it really is now You know rock and roll was the popular term and popular music For many many many years, but now it's not as high on the totem pole So eventually they might even just change this thing to the music hall of fame Uh the name and then it would still have those complainers man. This is bullshit Anyway, peter frampton how the fuck is peter frampton not in the rock and roll hall of fame the first five years Are you kidding me? Do you feel like I do? Oh my god. I mean peter frampton His body of work Is just unbelievable you know and and For him not to be in I couldn't even believe he wasn't in yet foreigner 100 percent foreigner Is so fucking good and underrated. Also, they uh Polluted the brand over the last few years, but I haven't no original members out there touring But man, you could not turn your radio on every day FM dial or serious xm without hearing foreigner The number of fucking hits that this band has is unreal, man I absolutely love foreigner And uh, I was talking to a buddy of mine right like a foreigner so great. He's oh, there ain't no good I was like, what are you crazy? Foreigner is fucking amazing Cold as ice double vision foreigner for the first record All of them loaded with hits pure fucking solid rock and roll just incredible Foreigner 100 percent should be in there immediately Which would be interesting too if they do get nominated Do not bring any of those, you know guys up from the last five years. That's fucking ridiculous Get the og guys lucram Mcjones all the og guys And bring them in that are alive still and give them the proper glory. These guys Wrote some amazing fucking songs, man And if you haven't listened to foreigner in a while do yourself a favor just go fire up You know foreigner greatest hits whatever The voices trash today from fucking screaming and yelling at the 49er game yesterday So my picks Okay, then we got jane's addiction Great fucking band first two albums are just mind-boggling Cooling the gang Lenny Kravitz slam dunk slam dunk Lenny Kravitz all Fucking day long. I remember when Lenny Kravitz came out with Let love rule record.

He's in immediately with me oasis 100 percent Oasis immediately man. I love how Liam immediately went to his instagram Fuck the rock and roll. Hello fame, which I I would almost have been shocked if he didn't say that You know, he's got to say that just to act like you know, I don't care Which means he does care when he goes on it says that fuck the rock and roll. Hello fame You'll be there who you're fooling if you get in you will be there Uh, shanaid o'connor, which by the way, I fucking love oasis shanaid o'connor Uh passed away resting peas passed away last year. I'm not a shanaid o'connor I didn't listen to her. I'm not going to sit there and act like I did I did see her a couple times over the years Uh, you know unlike big tv events and stuff, but that's basically all I really saw a tribe called quest um, you know great Great great tribe called quest Uh, definitely should be in but I'm gonna make my picks right here. I don't know how many get to go in I should have looked that up, but I for me it would be share eric b and rock came foreigner peter frampton jane's addiction Cooling the gang Lenny kravitz oasis. Oh shard a And then oasis there for solo, but Look those oasis solos records are fucking fantastic, but you might have to let him in next year or something He's already in with black Sabbath So let's get shade and who I will tell you this right now Is one of the greatest of all time and I've seen her live twice and her songwriting and her voice And everything about her knocks me the fuck out And I listened to her weekly still to this day She is unreal, which by the way happy 82 birthday to carol king of the weekend 82 So there they are the rock and roll nominees 2024 um, let me know in the uh on the social medias who you'd be uh wanting in Cooling the gang is so fucking great. I was talking about Last week I was talking about Heatwave All of that music back then heatwave cooling the gang lakeside earth wind and fire Curtis mayfield I mean man all of that stuff I listened to still to this day cooling the gang is so fucking good, man I mean come on What a fucking group Oasis killer there it is. Who would you Want in the rock hall there Let me know and uh You know Give it give it a shout in the social medias Over uh over the weekend. I've been uh diving back into some uh speaker madness I've got to I've had these dvla speakers from france for I don't know about four years or so And uh They were really this the digital speaker that um got me to uh Sell my records And my turntable and everything as I'm trying to get into this minimalist Lifestyle, I'm almost there. I'm actually I would say I'm about 90 percent there I only have shit. I really need other than my absurd collection of rock and roll t-shirts and Rock and roll photography, which I'm trying to thin out But I need to sell the photos You know, they're they're they're fucking valuable and very cool photos So I'm not just gonna give them away or something because they were something But I'm getting down to the minimalism life And it's feeling pretty good 58 years old Down to just uh really what I need I could even thin it out more which I keep trying Each year I try to uh thin it out But I got these speakers dvla because They were kind of the first digital streaming speaker uh that blew my fucking mind And as the streaming platforms got better say title and lossless On amazon and hd streaming as the streaming gets better and better and better every year It made it easier to cut loose of the records And a man was I addicted to uh Buying vinyl for a while But then I'm never home. I'm always on the road doing comedy And I was like I got all these records I'm not here to really put them on and just sit on the couch. Maybe if I was fucking You know 70 and retired and just chilling around the house But I'm never chilling. I just I can't chill. I've tried to chill I can't chill so I sold them all because these dvla's knocked me out But the dvla is the thing is they're built to be played Fucking loud and with some uh serious bass. The bass on them is Unbelievable. I mean you've never heard a bass on a speaker like this Ever it's just straight up like super hip-hop just And uh, you know My one bedroom apartment neighbors Do not need the uh sub sub sound so I'm starting to think about Maybe sizing down a little bit just for something that's sounds as good And um But not crazy. I don't listen to loud music anymore either. I don't listen to my shit up on Fucking six or seven or eight. I just put the music on around four or five And just chill out my loud music days are over You know when I'm at a concert those fucking earplugs are in Another reason I'm winded down the concert time because I'm I'm trying to Not hear the concert When I'm there, I'm like man, I got these earplugs in do we got anything else? you know So I started looking into uh other speakers now Let me tell you the dvoa is one of the greatest sounding speakers I've ever fucking heard and you're streaming and you cannot believe it and once you get addicted to the um The just you know streaming speakers it's tough To not just go to it all the time and there's all kinds of good low-end stuff. I've got a little marshal Streaming speaker I bring on the road with me. It's like looks like a cube of butter I just any hotel room that thing comes out of the bag and I turn it on and I really love those Apple round ones those uh those kind of round pods forget what that's called, but those sound great So I started diving in but I'm looking for something that is high-end you know del ring likes the high-end shit and You know the stuff that where people go like I can't believe you fucking spent that amount of money on that It's like, yeah, but I don't smoke cigarettes to drink booze. So I'm fucking good. I don't do drugs So this is where I spend my money on a nice pair of speakers. So I looked into it over the weekend And there's some newer streaming speakers out that I didn't know about now dvoa Is uh, they have they have three different sizes. They have a small kind of egg then they have a big egg And the big egg comes in two different wattages Like a hundred watts or you know, it's not uh, sorry. It's not wattage It's db one is 98 db. The other one is a 108 db 108 is fucking cranking But my thing is I found that the 98 db You know Not that you're it's not about volume to me. It's just about Space when the music comes out How they how it sounded like these 108 ones Once you have that you're fucked because the aura of the sound coming out of the speakers is so incredible You're like, I can't even believe how good this fucking sounds so That's the dvoas and a lot of people say, would you recommend them? I've been recommended them for years, but there's a new uh There's a new fucking crushing speaker in town that I like Bowers and Wilkins formation duo And I was talking to a guy um Saturday About the speakers. I was in a high-end audio shop in west Hollywood And he had these Bowers and Wilkins And they look fucking cool. They look like Darth Vader, you know, you're looking at it And the simplicity of these streaming speakers are great. You download an app for his dvoa or Bowers and Wilkins or Or you know, the other one I was looking at was keff ls 50 And then all your streaming Uh platforms are in the app. So if you're using title Or if you're using itunes or amazon Or any of those there it is and you're just Playing right out of the app And some of the apps are way fucking better than the other apps the companies Like, you know, some you can adjust the treble bass and you can roll off all kinds of eq and shit on them The dvoa one's pretty basic. You can either turn the bass off or on not all the way off But what they call night mode so you're not getting uh, you know destroy your neighbors bass So I looked into this one here the bowers and wilkins And they're like five grand for the pair, but I immediately found them for 3500 on on the internet and uh They are Let's see how tall are they like 15 inches tall by 12 deep and seven wide and they look really cool and um They support airplay bluetooth Rune ready spotify connect and uh And wi-fi And they you know, you just streaming right out of your wi-fi for the highest um You know, you don't want to be bluetooth. You want to be streaming out of the wi-fi This is all kind of nerdy shit But that's how you're going to get the highest resolution So I've been checking out these um These bowers and wilkins formation duo And I might be making a switch because I don't play music like I said loud And I think that the dvla You need to get them up around four or five to push air and to really Give them their glory You know, you don't want to get a speaker that's made to turn up To 108 db and you're only playing them at like 20 db or something You're not using the speaker. So I have them Now I have not made this decision yet and and when I uh look into that I dive way deep I watch a million fucking videos and no one seems to uh have the answers of The dvla versus the bowers and wilkins formation No, nobody has a review of them side by side except for a couple dudes that are like in hong kong and they're not speaking english I'm like shit And I went down to the shop and they had both but they did not have the dvla set up in stereo two of them They only had one so i'm listening to two bowers and wilkins against one dvla and uh You know, it's really tough because the dvla sounds fucking great. They're heavy as fuck. They're like a fucking bowling ball Which is crazy Anyway, so I will let you know, but if anybody has used These bowers and wilkins formation duo or this other one now I have not heard this one in person yet keff kef The ls 50 they look cool as fuck too. They're like a square with an orange cone If anybody's used those get get at me on the social medias or Hit me on instagram dm and let me know because um You know speakers are fucking it's nuts with speakers because you just if you make the wrong move you're like, ah I got the wrong fucking speakers Or you could be that person that just buys the speakers and you never think about it again I don't know, you know, but uh The dvla's have been pretty fucking killer, but man, I'm just not going to be Playing loud music My ears are trashed. I'm old I just like I like low super clean sounding streams So let me know Those are the three that I've uh narrowed it down to that I can tell online that are high in streaming speakers And which by the way Bowers and Wilkins makes one that's even more money, but they're like tall big speakers. I don't want tall I'm talking about like bookshelf type of You know apartment speakers So, uh, anyway, let me know what you think Got some shows coming up live shows coming up my friends. Um This weekend pom springs with bill burr. We're gonna be out there two nights We're going to uh dive into the modernism weekend.

It's it's really bizarre But the venues just feel fun and festive And you're just outdoors. There's some about it that always felt like here comes the summer We're going to see some fucking outdoor concerts and the hollywood bowl Is just been one of my favorites for years. I've seen so many amazing shows. I saw any van halen's last show ever Van halen played their last show At the hollywood bowl. They started in hollywood. They ended in hollywood Long live the great eddie van halen. I saw tom pennies last show ever at the hollywood bowl The great listen to williams opened up I saw craft work 3d at the hollywood bowl. You put on fucking 3d glasses and they put on this 3d show It was insane Uh, I just saw g and r there recently Tons and tons of shows over my lifetime in there Black Sabbath rival suns You know, I mean it just goes on and on and on but it is one of the greatest venues Of course, it's a little bit of a pain in the ass to park because it was built in the fucking 30s or something when people were taking stagecoaches to the concert Hey, pony rides And over the years they've had to adapt to the over Explosion of population in los angeles But I feel they've done it pretty fucking good You can park about a mile or two away and get in a shuttle bus And you're instantly at the venue You can park Like a half mile away in hollywood and walk to it And uh, I know people are now like walk That's fucking dumb I want to be let off right at the front and you better be here when I fucking come out instantly or I'm giving you a bad rating Anyway, the hollywood bowl is spectacular And so we flew over it in the copter and to really get to see it man just the houses around it pretty fucking cool And uh, and then we flew all over malibu a couple days ago.
