 All right. Here we are. It is another episode of Let It Be Talk. Thank you for joining me. We're going to be sitting down today talking about all kinds of stuff that has been going on in this last week. Sometimes you just cannot believe the amount of music and film and comedy news that just hits in just a few days. It's like, wow. Anyway, welcome aboard. It is September 11th and I want to thank you guys for coming out to my shows in La Jolla, California over the weekend. I did five headline and shows and the audiences were just incredible. And man, it is a it is a workout to do five one hour shows in a weekend. It is to stay focused and to be engaged with the audience or remember the new material, some of the old just mixing it all up and having a great time. It was it was awesome. And thank you La Jolla Comedy Store. Mike, Vin, and Ryan for having me out there. And I did the podcast out there, Mike, Vin's La Jolla Comedy Store podcast. And that'll be coming out pretty soon. Anyway, also, no matter what year it is or how long it's been, I constantly want to send love to everybody that lost somebody on September 11th. And I never take that lightly. I'll never forget it. And I just want to say that real quick. Doesn't matter how many years pass. It is definitely a deep, deep wound in America and a dark, dark time and a massive, brutal wound to New York City. So I want to get that out there just to just to get that straight people. We've got to send our love. Anyway, we got a lot to talk about today. Yes, we do. And we can start that right off with what seemed to be a massive, massive, just boom across the internet with AC DC dropping a little nugget over the weekend. Whenever AC DC drops something, of course, it's going to immediately grab my attention a long lifetime loving AC DC freak that I am. Most of you know that I love AC DC. I have Bond Scott tattooed on my damn body. A man. I have a man tattooed on my body and doing a tribute to Bond for a long, long time. And just madly in love with the band. That's pretty much it. And I like to say that I am, of course, I totally love the band. But there are those people out there who are whatever band they love. And we're going to talk about a few of them this on this episode, one being AC DC, the other being the Rolling Stones. There are the fans. Then there are the crazies, you know, no matter what the band does. They don't give a fuck. This is it. And if you say anything like, I don't really like that song, you're like, you fucking, you know, Metallica has that also. And, you know, I think that's a good thing when you have a band and you have super fans. You know, I mean, it's so hard to keep people interested in something, especially, you know, five years, 10 years, but, you know, 40, 50 years, people are still into something that is very, very rare these days. So my point is, I'm going to be talking about some stuff with AC DC. And some I'm sure people are going to be like, what, oh, fuck you or whatever. But, you know, I've said it many times, I love this band, I love Metallica, I love the Stones, but there's bands that I just absolutely love. And there's parts of it that I don't love. And I'll, and I'll be honest about it. But I still love the band, you know, AC DC, I don't like the fly on the wall record. And that's just the honest truth, Metallica, I don't like the load and reload records, but I love saying anger. And people hate saying anger. And I love saying, I love saying anger. And on this week of the 20th anniversary of it. And anytime I can, I love to just fucking pop in and go saying, saying anger is great on their, their Instagram or their Twitter. And just watch the dummies. Fuck you. And fucking record sucks. Anyway, so unless you were sleeping under a rock, there's no way that you did not hear this little snippet of AC DC. And they drop a, I don't know, maybe it was a 35 second, 40 second recording of them rehearsing. If you want blood, you got it. And then immediately on the bottom of it, it said, the boys have been rehearsing, getting ready for power trip. And Cliff Williams has come out of retirement and drummer Matt Luge will be on the kit. And look, I've been, I've been in the, around the music biz and I've, of course, been an AC DC fan, like I said, a zillion years. I was like, who? Now I had talked about it last week that there were rumblings that Phil was not going to be able to do the show. And in classic AC DC form, they do not tell you anything. And this is how it's always been with that band. And it is why they have that giant mystique still. And which is really still stuns me that I had them on the podcast for long, long form interviews, because it, you know, it doesn't really go down with those guys. It's always like five, 10 minutes snippets. And it's very locked in. The record was wrote between 90 and 91. We recorded with Mud Langer, whatever. It's just business. Still to this day, you rarely know anything about Angus. I know personally, not for a fact, but it has to be a fact that he is a billionaire. There's just no way they've made so much money. You don't hear about that. Rarely do you hear about, you know, he's married, but you don't hear really anything. Doesn't look like he drives. He doesn't have any flashy cars on Instagram. He doesn't show off his multiple houses. I did see a house that he had built a few years ago, which is pretty, pretty interesting. You could Google that. Anyway, so that's the classic form. You're looking at it. You're going, wait a minute. What are they even talking about? Who's Matt Luge? And then some people were like, Cliff Williams out of retirement. And like people were stunned on that. And yeah, I mean, Cliff retired. He said it right on my podcast that when they put out the last record that, you know, he would probably only do maybe four shows. Maybe he said it was interesting. He was dead honest. I said, do you see yourself touring with AC DC? Of course, COVID had happened and all of that. But he just said, no, no. And I was stunned that it didn't get more press than it did. It got a little bit of press, but it was funny that, I mean, right there, you know, Cliff is pretty old. Let me look it up real quick here. I think he is the oldest in the band, Cliff Williams, let's see here. And then, you know, we're sitting there going like, well, what happened? He's 73. Okay. So yeah, it's pretty old. Not the Jagger old, of course, you know, and not the Stones old, but also the Stones aren't playing at 120 dB, full tilt, screaming rock. They are a rock band, but they are not, you know, they don't have background singers. They don't have keyboards. They don't have horns. They are just playing screaming rock. And it is very difficult to play insane loud rock as you get older. And the endurance and the beating, the beating that it does on your brain, and of course you're hearing, but hopefully you're wearing hearing earplugs and stuff. But you know, people like Cliff Williams retired, what? Yeah, he had retired. I'm sure he, you know, I mean, he's been in the band since power age, a zillion years. Angus still has that kind of wiry fire. I'm sure Angus really doesn't have any hobbies other than playing in AC DC is his life. And that is his full on call of duty. So right away, millions and millions of comments. And of course I had questions too. And then I remember this is an interesting call I got about, not a call, it was a text about a month ago. And it was from Brad Wilk, who's a good friend of mine, and I have yet to been able to get him on the phone. And I don't know if they made him sign an NDA or what, but I was texting with Brad said, Hey, do you want to get some tacos? And he said, I'll have to get back to you next week. I'm headed to the UK for an interesting audition. And I was like, with who? And he's like, I can't say. Now, I just fucking forgot about that. But when this announcement happened, I started thinking, wait a minute, that had to be it. I mean, you know, he has not called me and I don't know what happened. But I'm sure he had to sign an NDA. You know, I did when I heard the new record. I told that story a long time ago. I went in, they made me sign these papers if I said anything. And for, you know, over a year, people are like, nope, no ACDC, they're done. There's no record. And meanwhile, I'm sitting there going, fuck, I heard the record right in the office at Sony. This is crazy, you know. Anyway, so then of course, when they make the announcement, people are like, what? No, Phil Rudd. Now, what we do know is Phil Rudd was able to go to Canada to do the record. Now I will tell you this right now. Canada is the most strict country to get into on the planet. I'm telling you, man, if you got a DUI and you pull up in your car to get across the border, they run your passport and then they go, no, come on in the office. You got to go in there and then you got to explain what happened. They might let you in if you pay 250 bucks. It's a, it's a brutal process. I remember there was a sound man on a tour on, he got arrested for weed years ago. He could never go into Canada. Same with Joey Diaz. Joey Diaz could never go into Canada. If you have any kind of arrest, track record, felony, stuff like that, you can't go in. So a lot of people are saying it's probably because of his legal problems in the US or sorry, in his New Zealand, you know, that thing with the attempted kidnapping and to hire someone to murder back when he was tweaking. Wild man, that press hit. And you know, a lot of people think it's from that. Now I thought about it for a minute and I was like, I don't, I don't, I don't know if it's that because you can get into the US pretty easy. But I mean, if you talk to any Republicans, they'll say, they let anyone in, man, doesn't fucking matter. But the honest truth is they do let you in. It's pretty easy to get into the US. So I don't know really if it's the legal stuff, because I'm telling you, like I just said, Canada is insanely hard to get into. Now, AC DC, I said it a little while ago, are definitely billionaires. They can pay anyone to get in. They could just say, who do we talk to? Here's $100,000. Here's some lawyers. Let's get this in here. So I don't know if it's that legal thing. I really, I really am not, I'm not too sure on that. Now, who knows? Maybe Phil said, Hey, man, I want this amount. And they said, no, I don't know what it is. But I do know when they announced AC DC was playing power trip, I didn't even know who might be singing. And I said this before, but you know, Brian had the ear damage, had to leave the band. We know that Axel filled in, finished the tour, and then they went away for a long time. Then they secretly did a record. Brian was singing. He sounded fucking good. And we're like, Oh, okay. Once the COVID stuff maybe is all taken care of, they can go out and tour. Brian is not saying other than in the studio, in years, live an AC DC full set, which is usually around two to two and a half hours. He has not done that in a long time. He is saying at the Taylor Hawkins Memorial, and he sang a couple songs with the band at the O2 Arena. I didn't know who the band was, but I think they did back in black. I watched it. Yeah, they did back in black and they just shook me all night long. And you know, it's got to be a struggle for him at his age now. And like I said, I do attribute to Bond Scott every couple years. I'm in excellent shape. I work out at Eat Clean. And I will tell you this right now. It is fucking hard to sing two and a half hours of AC DC. And if you haven't done it in five, six, seven years, it's going to be even harder. So lots of questions immediately hit the internet. Who's Matt Luj? I'm assuming that's how you say his name. L-A-U-G. Is that how it is? Let's see. Yeah, L-A-U-G. Who's that? I bet he's never had his name Google so much. You know, it's absolutely crazy how fast his Wikipedia was updated. That was funny, man, because when I looked at it, it was like Matt Luj is an American drummer who has played with many bands such as Alanis Morissette. He played on Jagged Little Pill and then Taylor Hawkins joined the band. So he was, I guess, kind of a studio guy. Alice Cooper slashes Snape Pit. He's 55, couple years younger than me, from South Carolina, and moved to L-A, did the Jagged Little Pill record in 95, played in a reformed autograph. Remember them? Turn up the radio. Autographed the band that did the Van Halen 1984 tour and said they would get a giant bonus if they could make it through the tour because most bands get booed off. They got lucky, they got a big hit, and made it all the way through the tour and got the bonus. He's also a drummer with Mike Campbell's dirty knobs. I've seen Mike Campbell's dirty knobs. I do not remember the drummer, and I can see why, because if I go see Mike Campbell, I'm just looking at the guitars the whole time. He was like, oh, what guitar is he playing now? Anyway, that says on September 9th, 2023, ACDC and NASDAQ were performing with Matt Luj. Is it Luj or Laug? I don't know, because I haven't heard his name yet, so it could be Matt Laug, it could be Matt Luj. I'm not sure. I'm not the smartest fucking guy on the planet, especially when it comes to people's names that aren't Ted Smith. Lots of questions here. My first question is, when they did announce they were playing Power Trip, like I said, they didn't say who was in the band for a little while, and then I think they might have got a little nudge because maybe the Power Trip promoters, Golden Voice, were like, well, make sure you drop the lineup so we can get the ticket selling. I did think ACDC could just really sell out anything just with the logo, and then people later would question who's in the band. They buy the tickets right away, and then they go, wait, who's in the band? It's weird that we're at that state of ACDC of who would be in the band. Why isn't Phil Rudd doing the gigs? Why isn't Simon Wright back in? A lot of people did some internet sniffing around, saw that Chris Slade had gigs, so he wasn't going to be in. He'd been drumming on and off with him for years, and a lot of people thought, bring back Simon Wright from the flick of the switch tour on. He was playing, and there were those names going around, and I thought, well, the drummers, I thought they could do it. Yeah, Brad Wilk, of course, but Steve Gorman. Steve Gorman plays my Bond Scott tribute. He does the bulk of the drumming on those. I have different people play. Of course, Bill Burr has played drums. He's one of the drummers on the Bond Scott Bash, so is Brad Wilk, so is Dave Lombardo. There's a lot of guys that play drums on the Bond Scott Bash, but the main drummer is always Steve Gorman, and this guy has got the Phil Rudd feel. Another guy that could do it, I thought, was Ronnie Crawford, who was the drummer in the early Bond Scott tribute stuff, and an old drummer in my band who played with, fuck, what was her name? I forget her name now. That girl that had the glasses, the nerdy woman that had the big hit. I can't even remember her name. My brain doesn't work anymore, man. Anyway, my point is, they didn't really say who was in the band, and then they kind of dropped it, and it showed Phil, Stevie, Brian, Angus Cliff, and they're going, wow, okay, cool. This is, this is fucking, man, we get to see Phil Rudd again. This is going to be great. And then it didn't happen. So all kinds of internet comments, it just goes to show you, doesn't matter how big of a band you are, how much people love you, you're going to get the fucking wrath. And for that, you can go to the old Twitter now called X, which no one calls it X, and I don't think anybody ever will. It's a lot like a football stadium when they rename it like Candlestick in San Francisco. Everybody just called it the stick forever. No matter how much people fucking paid to get it sponsored, they just called it the stick or candlestick. So they drop the clip, power up, listen to rehearsals of the boys powering up with Cliff Williams who's coming out of retirement for the festival and Matt lag Luge Logue on drums. And then so I clicked on it, of course I listened to it and so many fucking, so many, so many people are, they get it so wrong when they think they know shit about music business or bands or everything. They're just so wrong. Then there's other people that are just, I don't know. So first comment, needs more wash on that hi hat too tight and more treble and gain on the main guitar. Do you think that the average AC DC fan the person who just loves AC DC rock and roll, do you think I'm a fucking crazy fan? And I didn't go, hmm, hi hat sounds a little, what the fuck? You know, insane. Now I never cared for Chris Slade's drumming in AC DC. I loved him in the firm. Chris Slade is a fantastic drummer. And I have said this for 12 fucking years on this podcast and this is not a diss on Chris Slade. Absolutely not. There's dudes, you know, when they change drummers, the band completely changes to somebody, you can just feel it. You're just, you're just rocking and you're, in your mind you're like, hmm, something's different here. A lot of people don't know, they're just fired up. They're drinking beers, smoking some fucking reefer. Here comes, have a drink on me. They're like, yeah, they're not going, Chris Slade, you know, he's, he's pushing it a little too much, you know, he's kind of ahead of the beat. They're not doing that. But Chris Slade was not my favorite in the band. And Simon Wright was so long ago that I couldn't even tell you what it was, you know? But to put those comments up is funny. But man, people are fucking, people are kind of angry, you know? And, and this is these type of people. It was, they've been around for a long time. No Cliff, you know, no Cliff Burton, no Metallica, you know, no Bond Scott, no AC DC. These bands are numb doing. They're still doing arenas. They've heard it for years. They don't even, it goes in one ear out there. They don't even fucking hear that. You know what they hear? That's what they hear. That's the sound of fucking ticket sales. That is what they hear. They hear that and then they hear their guitar down and then they hear massive, massive roars of applause and love. They do not hear any of your bullshit. I'm telling you right now at fucking 67 years old, they do not hear shit from you. Without Phil, it's not AC DC. I know he'd play great. He was playing at home and I saw him and I listened to him. I don't think this was decided by him. I think the band kicked him out. Phil is my friend and I know him good. I know him good. I love that one. Oh my God. Like I said, I don't think it's the legal stuff either. So let's see here. It is amazing these comments that they really blow my mind on here. Of course, you know, you get the bottom of the barrel on Twitter. Absolutely the bottom. Now a lot of people are thinking a tourist is going to be announced and I don't think so. Let's see here. Where is Phil? Everybody. Phil, love that you're including if you want blood and mixing up the set list hasn't seen the set list at all. This comment hasn't seen the set list at all. One song, if you want blood, doesn't even know if it's in the set list. Could just be jamming it, you know? Could just be trying a bunch of different songs. No idea of the set list. I guarantee there's not going to be a bunch of deep tracks in it. There's no way. Let's see. I'm absolutely gutted that Phil is not there. I thought we were going to get a proper chance to see the boys together one last time. I'm gutted. Doesn't even close to expressing my disappointment actually. Excellent. Thank you, ACDC. Love you guys. Please record and release the festival. Without Phil, it's not ACDC. This is bullshit. I want my money back. I bought tickets. I'm coming from Oklahoma. Can we please get a farewell tour announcement? No, Phil. No ACDC. Fucking. Sounds awesome, but no Phil. Sounds dreary, fellas. Would love to hear Brian sing jailbreak. That is all. It goes on and on and on, and that is, of course, the world of the internet that we live in. A lot of people are asking me if I'm going to go to Power Trip. I've been saying I want to go to Power Trip. I'm not quite sure. These days, I want to do stand-up comedy before anything. If I'm booked to do some stand-up comedy, I will skip any concert these days, any of them. There's only a few bands that I go to see these days because I know it's going to be so insane. It would be like Tool, Metallica, it would be Denco who aren't playing anymore. It would be the Mars Volta, which I'm going to see. It would be Mastodon. It would be Rival Sons. It would be Marcus King. It would be Shadeh if she ever played again. It would be Nick Cave who I'm going to see. Stuff that's really rare to see and kind of outside the box, they're going to do super different set lists. They're going to barely play all year, other than Metallica who's been touring like crazy. I love seeing them no matter what because it's a lot like AC DC. They just come out every year and kill and it's a great, great thing. I do not know if I will see AC DC. That's coming from me, a super fan. It was supposed to be, what was it? AC DC and Ozzy? Now Ozzy's off, right? It's AC DC and Judas Priest. Is that right? I forget the line because it's an Iron Maiden. Let me look real quick because it's been so long since that announcement. I can't really remember. Power, Trip, Motherfuckers. I do want to go all three nights, but I don't want to miss doing comedy. That's just the truth, man. I just love doing stand-up. Here it is. Where's the second line? Of course, G&R is on. First day is G&R Iron Maiden, second day AC DC Priest and Metallica Tool. If I'm going and I have to pick one day, it's going to be Metallica Tool. I think that those are two bands that are firing at the top of their fucking game right now. Tool is just unreal. Every time you see them, I just cannot believe how good this band is. It is unreal how original they are, how incredible live sounding they are, and then Metallica, just right now on that tour, just blistering it. That is my thoughts on the AC DC stuff. Now, if AC DC reached out to me and said, come out, we got full backstage for you, maybe interview the boys or whatever, some kind of thing, I would be there in one fucking minute. But not really sure because the last time I saw AC DC was the two weeks before Brian left the band, and it was in Vegas at the MGM Arena, which by the way, I'm getting ready to do with Bill Burr for the Formula One. We're going to be doing comedy in Vegas for the Formula One weekend. So if you're out in Vegas, get a ticket to the MGM Arena. And don't forget, I'm doing Madison Square Garden with Bill also. I just want to throw a little plug in there for that. Anyway, the last time I saw AC DC was two weeks before Brian was out at the MGM, and he sounded fucking great. The band was so good. Me, Greg Riley, and I think my buddy Luke went, and we just had the fucking time of our life, man. It was just incredible. So that is my thoughts on AC DC. I do not think they will do a massive tour. I think they might maybe do, let's say, 10 shows total, 50 year anniversary, be something like Wimbledon. It'll be something like something huge other than Power Trip, which is huge. Something like, who knows, maybe a giant Hyde Park concert, a closing goodbye in Australia, I'm not sure. But there's no way they're going to do a full tour. I just don't think that unless they're going to replace Cliff and Brian can actually sing a lot of gigs, I don't think they're going to do a giant... I know they got to do something for a 50 year anniversary. And I said it before, I think it'd be cool if Angus Young and Friends Tour and just toured America with some insane musicians doing the band during Bon Era, doing Brian Era, full celebration, different guys on drums and guitars and everything, and Angus just tearing it up. Like when you see Angus play, sometimes he sits in once in a while with Guns N' Roses. Super cool, he did that out of Coachella. So that would be cool if Angus wants to just keep playing until he's 100. I'd love to see that. So that's my thoughts. And DM me, or don't even DM me, just tweet at me on Twitter or Instagram and tell me what you think. Which by the way, I did mention speaking of Staying in Shape and Rock and James Hetfield. I want to give him a shout out because they know that people love to shit on people when they look bad. They go to their Instagram further and they go, you look like shit, lay off the donuts, porky, as they're sitting there on their couch with fucking potato chip dust and ho ho stains on their cheeks, just fucking awful looking humans shouting out at celebrities. You look like a piece of shit. People are just, I've come to the conclusion that I need to name my comedy special People Are Garbage. But anyway, I want to shout out to Hetfield because this guy is looking amazing. This guy looks fucking fantastic. There's a photo of him on Instagram a couple days ago. It's just him and he's like pointing in Arizona like I'm fucking ready. COVID is out of my blood. Let's do it. And he just looks fucking great. Perfect. I don't need the tank top. I don't need a tank top on Hetfield. Tank top. I'm not a tank top guy. Tank tops are fucking, they're gross, man. I never understood the tank top. They're fun in the 70s. You put a tank top on your 70s with the fucking some goofy 70 shorts and the white socks all the way up to your knee. And with your Nike blazers. But tank tops are fucking not rock. I will say that. I will say that. But man, does he look good? Let's pour one out, man. Let's give a shout out. We lost Jimmy Buffett and Gary Wright last week. I was never a Jimmy Buffett fan. But I didn't hate him or anything. I respected what he built. He had like Pina Colada song and sold out sheds every year. He had like his parrot heads. And like the dead, the same people would go see him all over. He created this full party atmosphere like, you know, we're out on a yacht. You know, the the president of Yacht Rock, so to speak. I was never a fan of the music, but he was, you know, solid human. You could tell having a great time all the time, giving his fans everything. And he, you know, he lost his life way too fucking young, way too young. We did lose Gary Wright the same week. And man, do I love this fucking guy. Talk about an underrated guy. Gary Wright dream weaver is played on the radio every day, every day. Dream weaver is on the radio. And his other song, Love is Alive. That's on the radio every day. I remember a kid just being a kid in the back seat of my mom's car. Just hearing that intro to dream weaver. Just spacey cool out just closed my eyes again. Hopped aboard the dream weaver. It is that song is so fucking good. My God, that is a great song. It is not dated. It sounds amazing. It could be a flaming lip song, man. You know, it's it's just so good. So bummer we lost a couple of greats there. We're losing them. It's getting them. It's getting it's getting that time in our lives where the big stars are just they're getting old man and people are getting taken out by shit man. It just seems like in the age of science we should be able to get rid of all of these fucking diseases but no they're still out there lurking all timers Parkinson's cancer any kind of cancer ass throat fucking brain cancer all of it just it's just ramping out there man. It's fucking awful scary. That's another reason I've got full minimalist just going to wake up each day and enjoy it. I'll tell you who is still around fucking Mick Jagger the Stones. I told you I did have some things to talk about with the Stones. They dropped a new song this week Angry and I you know I enjoy when I do Instagram live and people want my thoughts on what I think of things and I have often most of my life in the last 15 years have said promote what's great not what you hate. I firmly believe in that. I think that life is way too hard and it's way too easy to shit on people way too easy and you know let's just promote what we do like about someone. So people always ask me what do you think of this because I know they want to try to get some negative negative response from me. You know people love the negativity. The entire internet seems to be fueled by negativity. They love it. They love to trash. They love to hear trash. They love to spread drama and rumors. They love to get your thoughts and then go to the other person. You know what Dean Delray said about you. He said that your fucking song or your comedy or your movie or your painting sucks. I asked him on his Instagram live and he said no. There's a lot of stuff I don't like. If somebody asked me I'm honest. That's not for me. You know it's been a common fact. Recorded millions of times on here that I'm not a fan of fish and that's fine. I like trade. Trade is a great player. I saw him in fairly well but people will ask you over and over. You like wean. You like fish. You like clutch. How come you don't like wean. How come you don't like fish. And I don't think you really need to don't you don't need to explain yourself while you don't like something because it you know dude when I was young my mom put some broccoli up on the plate on the table there. I took a bite and I was like I don't fucking like this. And you know she didn't each day try to put broccoli on my plate again. Here's broccoli. I told you I don't like broccoli. Why don't you like broccoli. I don't know. I put it in my mouth. It's not for me. It tastes like tastes like shit to me. I love broccoli. You should like broccoli. No I don't like broccoli. It's fucking it's nuts. So the new AC or the new Rolling Stones song came out angry. What do you think. And I didn't care for it. I thought that it was you know I respect that they are going for kind of a modern songwriting vibe. I'm not even quite sure if the Stones wrote it because I haven't seen the song credits yet. I don't know if there's an outside writer or if you know I do know that Jagger likes to stay current. I'm surprised that Jagger never put a kind of a hip hop song on a Stones record because he does like to gather flavors and incorporate it into the Stones starting all the way back to the beginning of the Stones with blues and that is the you know ground floor of the Rolling Stones. So I am super fucking amazed and in awe of the Stones. At 80 years old they've got a new record coming out. Jagger being 80. Keith coming up on 80. We got two original members left. Ron Woods there. He came in later on but I am in awe of the amount of amazing music they put out. Over all these years I am in awe that they still sell out stadiums. I am in awe of how great they look and sound and how in shape they are and how happy they fucking look whenever I see them and I am in awe of all the people that they make happy okay. I fucking love it. The new song I did not like. It doesn't mean shit you know. They can have the records coming out there could be two three songs on there that blow my fucking mind and I am the one who has been promoting and shouting out 80s and 90s Stones for about five years. I think people look over a big part of their catalog that I think is amazing and it is hard to even look at that music as amazing to a lot of people because we are looking at stuff like sticky fingers, some girls, exile on Main Street tattoo you black and blue. It is only rock and roll. These records are fucking nuts. I get it. But the 80s and 90s Stones I think are some incredible, incredible records that not a lot of people talk about and so I thought I would put together a list because I think personally I think the Stones could do one night with just the 80s and 90s Stones songs and blow your fucking mind. Any of these songs I am going to read if the Foo Fighters, if it was a Foo Fighters song or if it was a let's say you know any new band right now, a Marcus King song or you know a Neil Francis song. I think people would be losing their minds like holy shit have you heard this fucking song by Neil Francis you know undercover of the night. Anyway so I put together a list for you guys and make a song, a playlist for yourself of Stones and I didn't include Tattoo You because the whole thing is a masterpiece and a lot of people look at the Stones as Tattoo You, the last great Stones record. That is what a lot of people say and so I didn't include that. It's one of my top three, top four Stones records ever. It was also one of the best tours I've ever seen. So I started off with 1983 so Tattoo You is 81. After that 83 they're barely fucking together. They put together a record called Undercover and on this record there are four songs that are fucking fantastic. Undercover the night she was hot, Tattoo You up and Too Much Blood. A lot of people have never even heard she was hot, Tattoo You up and Too Much Blood. I guarantee probably 90% of the people out there on this listening this never heard of that. Undercover the night was the single and it is fantastic. 86 they did a record called Dirty Work. They got the funny ass cover they're all wearing like kind of Miami colored pastel kind of bright colored pinks and yellows. They're on a couch came out in 86. It had one hit to the body great song not a great record but they had a cover Harlem Shuffle that kind of got them through with the radio play but one hit to the body fantastic. Now in 89 they put out what I consider one of the greatest Stones records since Tattoo You. If they would have went Tattoo You and then Steel Wheels it would have been head explosion and I've said this for years I cannot tell you how great Steel Wheels is. The tour was bizarre the tour was they played all the songs like 100 miles an hour it was like it felt like a fucking cocaine fueled just like you can listen to the Steel Wheels tour there's a live record from it everything is just cooking the band had cool short haircuts Jagger looked fucking yeah he had he just looked like a kind of like 80s like you know late 80s fucking I don't even know their their haircuts were slick and it's the last Bill Wyman record and man is this fucking record good almost the entire record is flawless Steel Wheels 89 it was sad sad sad unbelievable almost here you saw one of my favorite Stone songs that are mixed emotions terrifying hearts for sale I love that my heart's for sale continental drift slipping away unbelievable man unbelievable hold on let me look here I think there's I mean this whole fucking thing let me look at it one more time my second phone is hate my phone when I need to when I need to look at it real quick here to Steel Wheels 89 sad sad sad great missed missed emotions like I said terrifying hearts for sale blinded by love that's a great one too almost here you saw continental drift unbelievable slipping away all right great fucking record after that and now these are just this is just 80s and 90s Stones put all these together on a playlist and and completely I mean this is crazy this is why I'm fired up for the new Stones record the new song doesn't mean much to me if I don't like it because I'm gonna probably have 10 or 12 songs from them that I'm going to like at least two or three there's not been a Stones record that came out in the last 30 years that there wasn't at least two songs that I loved Voodoo Lounge 94 man and by the way they're just putting records out every couple years in the 80s and 90s bam bam bam go out do full stadium tours you know just crazy working just working Voodoo Lounge 94 love is strong great great video they were doing good videos back then too the worst killer baby you're the worst Keith killing it out of tears is one of the best Stones songs in the last 25 years easily out of tears and you got me rocking just put on out of tears it kills angry and probably nobody even fucking listens to it out of tears it will it'll laugh at the new single angry it has got so much fucking emotion it is unbelievable then 97 this would be the last 90s record here bridges to Babylon anybody seen my baby good song man and Saints of me that was a song on there that almost could be a knit cave song you're not going to make a saint of me it's fucking great so that is my love of 80s late 80s into the 90s Rolling Stones and I really think that people and this is why they are top five band of all time I really think people forget and underestimate how many great fucking songs they've had after tattoo you it is unreal man and people just take it for granted because they are just that good and also I do blame the Stones I have been critical of bands that play the same fucking set list minus two songs every tour for 20 30 years I blame bands for not dabbling into some of their great great past you know AC DC is is guilty of that I know a lot of bands want to hear the 15 tunes Metallica is doing something genius right now where they're just doing two set lists all the different records a lot of different stuff you know Metallica playing fucking dirty window off saying anger they know people hate it they say it here's one off your favorite record saying anger haha then they play dirty window and it fucking blows your mind anyway do yourself a favor uh go back I should have said right before I announced all the songs to get a pan out uh that way you don't DM me and go what was the one song you're talking about because you know people but do yourself a favor write down those tunes make yourself a playlist let me know what you think all right um once again tour dates ddelray.com I'm going to be in Utah at boxcar comedy coming up in two weeks headline of

leave a review tell friends he uh did a lot of the greatest engravings on all the west coast chopper projects so great guests okay um a couple more things to talk about then we'll get out of here I want to uh I hope that Bruce Springsteen feels better he uh speaking a set list he rolled into jersey before he had to cancel a bunch of shows he's got some uh stomach issues some ulcers which is fucking rough and uh I want to wish that guy uh all the best Springsteen went into Jersey sold out three nights stadium and uh he'd been critiqued all this tour for not changing set lists and stuff and he rolled in there and played one night eight songs off Born to Run now that's what I'm fucking talking about I want to see some kind of surprise like that went in there just played deep cuts man he was rocking that stadium eight songs off of Born to Run I would lose my mind you know Born to Run straight up masterpiece meeting across the river I think that was the only one he didn't play or maybe did I can't remember jungle man just destroying three nights in his hometown of New Jersey so get well my man and I'm hoping to see him December 4th or the 6th in LA that is somebody I will definitely go see uh you know and I hope that he uh turns it up for LA a lot of bands when they come into town LA uh I know Dead and Co does it they come into LA boy they just fucking they play crazy set lists they go for it it's wild so um and uh I guess that's really kind of about oh no oh no oh no we can't miss this big thing happened over the weekend New York City honored the Beastie Boys with their own Beastie Boys Square which is on the corner of Ludlow and Rivington in the Lower East Side the exact corner where the Paul's Boutique uh album cover was taken gave these guys uh it was beautiful man they did the countdown they slid off this cover and there it was Beastie Boys Square and uh Adrock said the funniest thing he goes you know I walk around New York and I see street names I never think about you know how they were named or what what they were named after and he goes I could just see like 30 years from now some kids walking around like what the fuck's a Beastie Boys Square hey that was funny that guy's always been funny as shit Adrock of course Mike Diamond Mike D Adrock were there long live MCA beautiful those guys are 100% New York City and they are damn legends and this on the 50 year anniversary of hip hop it couldn't be cooler and then from what I read there were people that were really fucking grinding to get this done and it's just fantastic to see all the people that showed up on the hot human day celebrating one of the greatest hip hop groups of all fucking time you know I gave Paul's Boutique number two out of the top ten for me and I did say that between public enemy fear of the black planet and Paul's Boutique they do rotate up and down one and two and they really could be both number one to me Paul's Boutique has fueled me for years putting it on getting ready for shows putting it on driving down the road if Beastie Boys to me no one sounds like them no one's done what they did going from a punk rock group playing instruments with a woman on I think she played what she played guitar drums you know punk rock group CBGB is that whole thing turning in to hip hop dropping one of the biggest records debuts ever licensed to ill completely turning hip hop upside down touring with Madonna on that tour the biggest tour of the time then dropping Paul's Boutique being considered a full failure by the dumb record industry it failed it's a flop and secretly or not secretly but slowly becoming this giant underground juggernaut of a record delivering some of the best videos of all time you know then putting out after that just the masterpiece check your head dominating MTV what you want past the mic jimmy james then going ill communication sure shot root down sabotage then putting out one of the coolest records ever
