Podderers!
Podbods!
OnlyPoddyFans!
Seeeeee!! As promised, it's not been an eternity of decades since the previous episode has it! Say what you like about this poddington-pod (and if you've ever read our reviews you'll know that some people certainly do) but we are true to our word... as long as we don't have to sign anything official that legally binds us to it of course.
And we're proper delighted to be devoting this latest instalment to our favourite celebrity Wolf! (With Wolf from the 1990's UK version of 'Gladiators' and that alpha wolf animal actor from Liam Neeson's 2011 action romp 'The Grey' coming in second and third.) But we're not just talkin' WVH, more specifically his recent(ish) mighty second album!
So sit back and pump up the jam (or the volume if you don't care for fruit preserves) as Steve & Ross use a variety of theoretical stainless steel instruments to dissect and review 'Mammoth II'.... via all the usual tangents plus unplanned but welcome appearances from their old friend Ringo Starr and new friends Mrs. Laila the Cow, Fake Elvis and Michael 'Mister Jazz' Baskette.
Also, if you are so inclined and have access to both a keyboard and next door's Wi-Fi password, please do leave us a review inside your chosen podcast platform's review zone. Whatever we see we'll deffo read it out.... the good, even the bad and especially the ugly.
You can also message or mention us on that angry social place that has since rebranded with a swanky new name that no-one ever uses: twitter.com/talkinvanhalen and on the Facebooks which nobody cool really goes on anymore: facebook.com/TalkinVanHalen
Enjoy the show, dear podpal!
Thank you for being here and not over there.
Fistbumps aplenty,

02:45.17
Ross
They while was reading on the internet you all listen to't talking about Van Halen and um, yeah, sometimes afterwards after you've had gastroenterrius to what I had you can get like short term ibs and that's I think what I had anyway.
02:48.91
Stephen
Yeah, this is where you tune in for that The non Van Halen talk.
03:01.90
Stephen
Oh okay, yeah I add I add it because um, we went on a holiday and I think I swallowed too much pool water and um, all sorts of things I swallowed like you know microbes and kind of Alien Alien Alien a a B and was that.

03:35.60
Ross
Um, ah filter. Yes, oh yeah, youre like like a York a human Britta filter.
03:39.89
Stephen
And obviously it's not very that's probably why because then I'm drinking tinkle water. Yeah, that's why the water's gone purple because you know. yeah yeah I mean that now I mean it was like four or five years ago but it makes sense why I was ill now. Yeah.
03:52.47
Ross
Um, yeah, ah is yeah ah.
03:57.11
Stephen
It was horrible though it was literally horrible. It was just like the slightest movement. Well, that's how I fell in love with Seinfeld because you've always taught I mean I'm very very late to the party I would say arguably 25 well no that was about five years ago 20 years late to the party. Um, and I'd always wanted to do it and it just come on Netflix and I needed somewhat to cheer me up.
04:09.80
Ross
Yeah.
04:16.39
Stephen
And you'd always gone about it. My mate Mark always gone on about Seinfeld and obviously everyone's gone on about Seinfeld so I was like this is exactly what I need and I tell you what I basically that the duration of this bout I probably did about 6 seasons and I was like watching it date and every like one of.

04:59.96
Ross
Um I am.
05:07.85
Ross
Yeah I definitely had a bit of a wane but I'd say I know season is strong and when it's good. It's great.
05:16.53
Stephen
But not through lack of interest. It was more like you know there's obviously like a couple of years between seasons and I think I just forgot about it and um and now I'm like oh we kind of need to watch a few to know what's going or not so I mean I don't want to say what we season because might be spoils people who've never seen any but um, but yeah I think we're about we've gone back into 6

13:53.53
Stephen
You know friends and relatives you've got who got her invested in the bigger teams I can live through you lot well but because that's why I get so invested in the world cup and the Euros because eight there's a chance, especially these days England could win some so I could win summer So it's a team I can get behind legitimately. Um, yeah.
13:54.22
Ross

14:23.42
Ross
I mean given been a date for it. Yeah is it still on. Fourth oh four days later
14:34.70
Stephen
Are gonna be on the line First time mass happened so since Lennox Lewis was undisputed heavyweight champion which was like 97 I believe there's a new what there's a new belt I think it's Ibo or some ah a new belt is coming into the system. You know the governing bodies. Always you know W Bc Wba and all that and there's another belt which means.
14:38.18
Ross
Yep.
14:46.30
Ross
Ripe.
14:51.70
Stephen
It's like ah, almost like a new form of undisputed. So there's never been an undisputed champion since then with all these belts have never been together with one person. Basically yeah or they always like they're always that I don't think the governing bodies like them all to go to 1 person that I come dispersed around but the way things have organically happened over the years
14:53.51
Ross
Aho.
14:59.20
Ross
Um, there's always been some level of dispute.
15:07.80
Ross
Um, yeah.
15:11.71
Stephen
They've all kind of they're on the so the the ukrainian fella you sick. He's basically got he took all of them that Anthony Joshua had he beat Anthony Joshua twice and Tyson fury has got um he beat deanto arto a few ah years ago. Ah twice actually.
15:18.71
Ross
That's right.
15:27.42
Stephen
And um, he's now got the the coveted one. It's the main one. Everyone wants the Wbc one. So there's a chance usi is Goingnna um, ah you know have a fight with fury and um or one of them's gonna win and 1 of them' is gonna get all the belts and it's very exciting time. Ah.
15:28.41
Ross
Right.
15:34.60
Ross
And he could be either. There'll be notice afterwards. It'll be. There'll be absolutely no dispute afterwards. It will be.
15:46.11
Stephen
No and disappear it'd be Dis Dis dispued undisputed no distribution is you cannot dispute. They should call it that cannot nobody can dispute this anymore. Um championship so it was gonna happen a couple of months ago but Tyson fury got cut.

But there's so much money involved and so much like you know, such a fanfare especially because it's now in Saudi Arabia lot and they got so much money and there there's so much fear they made they've made trailers for these fights and stuff.
16:30.34
Ross
Wow.
16:38.62
Ross
More.
16:44.98
Stephen
So there's so much so I don't think you'd really like do that I think it's just kind of a bit of clickbait I think the youngsters call it. Ah the the teens of the of the Era clickbait.
16:49.40
Ross
Um, well the unsputed member of Mammoth Van Halen is Wolfgang Van Halen because we're talking about the second album he made today Stephen.
17:03.76
Stephen
Where're we're um, very um I was gonna say we're very um, up to date current. But this album you said has been out for a little while't it oh well, this's kind of more current considering we've been reviewing albums at the stuff from the 70 s and eighty s this is pretty current for us.
17:07.31
Ross
Yeah, it came out last year late last year. It's not more current. Well this is his current as is gonna get the only one that's more current ah is the Van Halen the collection that I I told you about that I got yesterday. This.
17:19.73
Stephen
Yeah.
17:26.80
Ross
Gar. Yeah, yeah, they have finally remastered all of this Sammy Hagar eraa albums and they've also on vinyl and Cd and and on your streamings so you can just go and it's called the collection.
17:27.20
Stephen
Oh yeah, so we're gonna do an episode on that way. Can you just briefly explain to our ah viewer about what that is and whatnot.
17:44.84
Ross
Um, yeah, and so yeah, so if you want 50 s your oh you 8 1 2 wo's balance so I so I had I've never had balance on vinyl. So I'm very excited about that. Um, so yeah, that's.
17:45.15
Stephen
Yeah, they do that with like Bowie's like but stuff and stuff they'll they'll Repackch a bill or put like 4 albums in a kind of umbrella name. So that's what we right? isn't it.
18:04.36
Ross
And then it came with like a um rarities and bsides extra vinyl which collates kind of all the bsides from all the aforementioned albums and then the 3 tracks that were on best of both worlds you know and that's a why up for breakfast and your like that 1
18:09.24
Stephen
Ooh I Love all that stuff.
18:17.51
Stephen
Um, ah yeah, yeah, yeah, the you what the new ones the the ones with Dave a oh I oh yes, of course. Yeah, yeah, you won lose yeah won.
18:24.46
Ross
Um, like they're not on it. It's only the van hagar. It's only um, he's I don't know I assume they are they have those well no because a different kind of truth isn't the the van the collection part one is all the original light from 78 to 84 are are you technically.
18:41.74
Stephen
Right? right? ah.
18:42.67
Ross
Um, and then ah yeah, then 85 to 97 was it nice six ninety six and then Van Halen 3 has never been released on vinyl I discovered the other day because I was like oh I got it. It's been bootlegged on vinyl but I don't think.
18:55.94
Stephen
That's interesting.
18:59.64
Ross
If I ever got to ah speak to Wolfgang Van halen I would ask him that question like do you think we'll ever do anything else Gary Gary perhaps
19:06.55
Stephen
That's very interesting to it so it must be us obviously because it kind of got kind of panned I believe I'm writing saying so it's like there's not much. Ah but Ri not much desire for it. But as a complete set you'd think that they would put it out because God there's is a.
19:11.52
Ross
There's not to occur well up. Well exactly.
19:21.47
Stephen
By far better album than a lot of nonsense this out there. Do I mean that've been put on vinyl. So it's like you that.
19:23.61
Ross
Um I think yeah, so and I I would love it like it's I think it's I think it's underrated for sure. Um, you know I know.
19:31.97
Stephen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it um ah so is that the only one that ain't on vinyl of I hate an incomplete set of anything the Ocd and me kicks in okay make well we can only just I'm gonna keep all my fingers crossed until that happens.
19:40.63
Ross
Agree. So yeah, so yeah, that's on to have this twis. They've all been remastered and stuff I don't I haven't done an ab but they're like remastered in for your audio files out there. The highest bitrates so seeing all is yeah marry.
19:51.83
Stephen
Oh the highest bit rate possible these days. The boys have got together in the street all the Killer hurts All the sound waves are popping up and down really high and low to earth.
19:59.92
Ross
So 48 acts nine hundred I yeah and I'll tell you what Stephen I pop that I popped it on yesterday and and I certainly cranked the system and let me tell you it sounded fantastic.
20:10.26
Stephen
And sure. And it was It was like being transported back in time and listening to the boys in real life doing their business but musical not doing the business not doing their business in a tinkle fashion.
20:24.31
Ross
Oh yeah, ah that's not out of the be. It's not you can't hear there semi hagar do the tinkle that'll be nice though. But um.
20:33.17
Stephen
Yeah, want it be nice to see um I saw a video of um, ah Sammy and ah we can't say Tony can we tone you don't like is Anthony isn't it. You don't like Tony Doy tone Tony well I saw Sam Salmon tone um doing a video together and they was um.
20:43.94
Ross
Ah, yeah, Tony yeah not Anthony.
20:51.74
Stephen
I didn't really catch what it was I just sort of saw it and I must have got distracted as some an Amazon man at the door or some it but I saw him old in summer and it but it totally must have been that that that they were um, you know pushing. Yeah so that's great. So um, ah, you're not one of the people.
20:55.95
Ross
Nap. The time about it. Yeah.
21:07.58
Stephen
You get one of these sort of like coveted box sety things and you don't um you you do? Yeah obviously you do play it don't you because you can keep this stuff packaged up as a collector's thing and all that by two ju buy 2 of these things. Oh is it how many and does it say how many have been issued.
21:10.53
Ross
What my yeah now don't think it's no, it's quite a lot of pocket money stephen Yeah what it doesn't know. No, it's none of that So I don't think it's worth that much.
21:25.29
Stephen
Is it like 1 of like 500 or something.
21:28.91
Ross
What I did do is I didn't rip the cellophane off I use my fancy knife and I cut just around the yeah yeah, oh your in surgery and you're yeah.
21:35.85
Stephen
Ah I I do that I do that with iphones I get mycut because I use a scal pull a look. You know my artwork and stuff I've waiting. Yeah yeah, and my be being a surgeon and um, not.
21:47.58
Ross
You do like you know in criminal films where they're like oh you need to go to see a doctor they're like well you can't take him to the hospital. They come to you don'tate you have and you do it in the shed. Yeah yeah, need wood lice put down. Go see him.
21:54.87
Stephen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, um, um, a part time vet I Also am if you've got any like caterpillars I specialize in caterpillars wood lice catpillars I may see I'm basically the only insect vet. Um on our street.
22:10.70
Ross
Um, yeah, and and annoying they used to be called the ivet and an Apple came and cracked down didn't know they said listen, we've no.
22:11.97
Stephen
Um.
22:14.47
Stephen
They didn't like that and course I I do I fight those people they've got ever such a lot of money and you know there's not even though there's like hundreds and millions of insects. Not there's not hundreds and millions of people who are willing to take those insects to be healed so I don't get loads of work. So therefore I can't.
22:17.76
Ross
Think after so much money.
22:27.39
Ross
Yeah, yeah.
22:33.20
Stephen
I don't have the funds to fight Apple so I just don't let that one go. So now I'm just called um Mr. Insect vette.
22:39.76
Ross
Yeah, um, and it and and you actually you've put those sort of stutters in the title as well. So say infect this.
22:42.69
Stephen
Ah, yeah, because because I've got a really long van I got a really long van and I got a if I just put the words as they are. There's just loads of space. So I got to fill it up. So I just put lots of letters on and um, yeah, it's more yeah.
22:55.98
Ross
At the nightmare.
23:00.95
Stephen
I Think that's where it take very well organically nice. So it's a beautiful box set I'm looking forward to.
23:05.16
Ross
Beautiful, watch um look yeah and I'm I'm very pleased to own it because I could say there you know I love the original Van Halen albums but there's something up. Um I I think you know and obviously I saw Van Halen with David Lee Roth not to me is Van Halen but there's I thought i. You know I still love Samy Hagar I don't think I don't know who I put first a second youre David leave with oh you' more than hagar. Yes.
23:26.38
Stephen
T I think we've established many episodes ago I'm I'm I'm more of the Hagar I must I'm a van hagar fan and I'm not ashamed to admit it. But.
23:35.45
Ross
Um, I think what I like and and because I've I've heard wolfgang talk about it and I think it's just the songwri and like it allowed Van Halen to go a bit darker and I quite like that like manetti was making cool and obviously as ah through the 90 s and like balancers obviously.
23:47.99
Stephen
Yeah, yeah.
23:54.78
Ross
Made in a period of turmoil and stuff and he was like you know he shaved his head cut all his hair off and he was recovering alcoholic and all this stuff. It was good I like the tracks. Yeah cool.
24:01.82
Stephen
Oh Yeah I remember like but when like when that come out and it was just I did I I didn't see I didn't had I hadn't heard anything about it. God I Must have said all this when we did that episode but it totally took me by Surprise and then when I sort Of. He saw like the cover of the first single and it's like oh my God It is cut his hair. Oh Wow and it's like it just felt like a whole you know it's good when people do you know for? Whatever reason it's like when there's a fresh look almost and I remember the art where it was very colorful and and I love the album cover of that that sort of that sort almost like Renaissance painting I but you know that sort of.
24:20.36
Ross
Um, and.
24:29.64
Ross
Yeah, yeah, with the Japanese and yeah, a so yeah.
24:37.60
Stephen
And um, yeah, it was like God it' is you know it's like a a fresh sort of era in it. Um, yeah, so well I'm looking forward to that episode when we do that. So how you do that? Will you likeke? will you play it on the vinyl and so we can oh right? okay.
24:42.30
Ross
Yeah, but end of an error well today. Well you can get on streaming. You can get it on the streams. So it's the same same thing I could theoretically put it on the vinyl and we could say stream.
24:56.28
Stephen
Yes, you did say that sorry yeah, put it on just to see how effective the remastering types were whether it was worth the ever so who pays for that then de warner brothers or does Sammy and Tony pay for it. Oh yeah, they'll do that. Um.
25:00.28
Ross
Me.
25:09.72
Ross
That rinse the back catalogue. Yeah I haven't given that test yet.
25:14.41
Stephen
So when you've obviously we will cover this when we do the episode but as a heads up when you listen to it. Can you feel the can you tell the difference so they've um, just just quickly they've done um some of the beat or stuff recently they've kind of got that new Peter Jackson created that stuff didn't need that software.
25:30.55
Ross
Um, yeah, so these these were made in a period where that wouldn't really be a effect.
25:32.90
Stephen
Which lets you isolate instruments and vocals. So they've yeah that one have been a well note. Yeah, just like when they so but they did those that new single now and then and then I think they took some of that technology because they were reissuing the red.
25:50.90
Ross
Yeah.
25:51.10
Stephen
And blue albums the greatest it's um or best of their horrible terms aren't they, but that's what the red and blue albums are anyway. Well they plonked on some songs of the beat ors well notes of that. Um they weren't on the original red and blue albums but they've also some songs that were so.
25:57.93
Ross
Um, yeah, so.
26:04.50
Ross
So.
26:09.64
Stephen
The one that comes to mind is I am the walrus that is like 2023 mix and it's very different like so they so especially because there's that bit isn't it at the end when they all the the knobs are turned of the radio recordings and you get all these bit of a radio play bit of that and stuff.
26:12.53
Ross
Look second right.
26:24.85
Stephen
And they've brought that out and it's being very controversial for some people but I like it because well we we got the original that's banked and it's like it's really so fascinating to hear I mean that's quite a different track to uses a sort of like a case study because it's such a mad song anyway and but but.
26:29.22
Ross
Um, yeah.
26:40.21
Stephen
There's other songs that I think it's like paperback writer and stuff and you can really hear. Oh there's bos that song and it's like oh what one is it like oh I can't remember oh shit I'm on the spot I can't remember but there's one of the songs and it's like it's always see we can work out. It's like John's in that air and pulls in that air and it's like.
26:40.63
Ross
New bits of.
26:53.52
Ross
Oh they didn't like well because that was like the Contrasttros Yeah, like when when they did the original stereo mixes. It was like it was like let's make it as stereo as possible which is that very pleasant to listen to. It's quite jar and as a human to hear.
26:59.95
Stephen
That how it was done then when say in the 60 s big, very popular.
27:06.50
Stephen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so things like that been even doubt like they've sort of thing anyway. I'm just saying like this sometimes you can notice it. But then I've heard other remasters and it's like you know God just plucking some out of the air when the the Manic Street Preachers reissue.
27:12.92
Ross
Yeah.
27:24.98
Stephen
You know everything must go or somewhere every ten years and it's like it sounds good but like I the one ten years ago you remastered I can't really tell the difference as much don't remain.
27:28.98
Ross
Ah, yeah, and I think you can there is nothing on these other maybe a little bit louder but there is nothing stand out to me.
27:36.62
Stephen
But it's like you know it's good to it's good that things have been you know Also really important if these things were made on tapes. It's good when they're digitized isn't it because then it can wear it. So that's a point for doing it as well and it I always worry about things like that you know when they put one of those they take the movies and they put them in the library of.
27:46.40
Ross
Yeah, yeah. And they big. They ba you can make bake the tapes and that's how yeah is library congress. Yeah it'sronian.
27:54.19
Stephen
In America the congress is it. What's it at the library of congress. What is it and it's like this preserved. It's like properly looked after yeah I think that's things like that are good I like preserving things anyway, um I'm looking forward to that episode when we do that but today yeah right.
28:04.97
Ross
But today we're talking about Manuth Dos it came out as a good question when did it come out. It came up come.
28:12.74
Stephen
So what? what month did this come out last year I'm gonna guess you might already said it my subconscious go. He's already said it um October oh you didn't say that I would have remembered it.
28:23.38
Ross
I think it came out in August so it's earlier than that and um, but tell you what the first I check to look for some reviews for it Harang 3 out of 5 They gave it.
28:29.23
Stephen
Okay, oh we're not that far behind. What do you think is that a good review for of Karang what did you get in crank you got hired and I didn't you yes, my um, can you dumb you should plug the album.
28:41.10
Ross
Wow! Just as an aside, she me because the show four out 5 So what. Well, there is yeah this to list to cheat meats the parts to show. No, it's not the part show people are the worst sorry parts show my first E piece or get to that as all of you like um mother yeah or a I So yeah.
28:52.91
Stephen
Because people can listen to it.
29:01.27
Stephen
It's fine. There's so much. Yeah, so he thought a world I ma I just Kindnna I'm gonna salute you again for thatna so wolfy got you got more than wolfy I mean that's yeah and he'd probably go ma.
29:10.12
Ross
And not ever meet him I'll tell him reserations. It's me.
29:16.54
Stephen
I verge your stuff and I would say yeah I think it was better better than mine I think he would I think he would agree. Um, how many what the other reviews out of 5 What did the other ones give but other people give it.
29:18.85
Ross
Yeah comiseration. Got math and there wasn't actually that many and I guess that's one of the things I find kind of interesting about this sorry Siri has gone absolutely mad in my hey Siri stop here's the station just for you.
29:38.69
Stephen
Oh oh suppose she wants to join in hey Siri not now. But thank you ever so much for taking part.
29:38.81
Ross
Start plays.
29:46.40
Ross
Um, is it here. They've all mad. Yeah on strike Um, yeah, and this is obviously is this album's all.
29:48.60
Stephen
Yeah, well she just started play music I think she she can't she couldn't this be your t break where she just like as like an hour or so off yeah, not no Siri.
30:01.51
Ross
Yes, there's not what couldn't find a huge amount and that's kind of what's interesting about being a was as we experience being a rock rock band in Make War is that there's not a huge amount of outlets for the type of music you want to you want to make right.
30:08.65
Stephen
Rock band.
30:18.43
Stephen
So yeah, yeah.
30:19.65
Ross
And like you find because obviously mammoth they tour predominantly with kind of what I would call legacy rock act so or like yeah well he's open for he's toured with guns and roses. He's toured with altar bridge which is Mark.
30:27.93
Stephen
So it's like foo fighters and like guns and roses.
30:37.24
Stephen
Oh I don't know little altar bridge whos.
30:38.92
Ross

30:46.74

Great impression mate I would say that's the second almost. It's the second to your mobile phone. That's a very good and impression. He sounds be like Edie V done
32:10.14
Ross
Ah so yeah, Scott Stapp was kind of poor man and met yeah poor mans dady better. Yeah and but creed were absolutely massive like millions millions and millions of albums especially in the u they're huge in the us I don't like as but yeah.
32:22.98
Stephen
I've heard of them like but I couldn't tell you any other songs. Yeah yeah.
32:29.11
Ross
So he's been opening for them and so Mark Tremon who's a guitarist in creed ah is ah well a lot of a lot of wolfgang a lot of mammoth Van Halen's members are also members of alarridge which is Mark Tremonte's band. Yeah.
32:45.88
Stephen
Altar Bridge That's an old name in it.
32:46.93
Ross
And then also this album and the first album album by mammo mammoth of bvh was produced by Michael Elvis Basette
33:03.70
Stephen
Ah, we've have we covered him before a fool I feel like we've wanted as so done as on of phase one was the same law just like to says as Nigel producer lover wolfy na as eyes of beer and I just want to say it's been an absolute honor 1 big fan of the family big foundry music.
33:03.74

33:28.56
Stephen
Wise long say there's more than the 3 out of 5 I'd say it's a 5 out of 5 double thumbs up and toes all round oh way. Yeah, what it did fear off it I on hang on. It's great work.
33:32.72
Ross
I Will do very much he got it then.
33:48.45
Stephen
Like very much well that did go over all right? all right when a little bit all right, all right? Thank you very much bring these songs to me wolfy. Yeah yeah, Elvis why do you get that mo occur. He got big hair like massive quis.
33:51.55
Ross
I Get this business live on a in the world Now you know what I've looked to figure out I couldn't I've Seen. So Iss weird he Did. He's done He is was your go to producer if you wanted to make Ro like American rock in early arts like if your guitar tone is like ah like.
34:14.66
Stephen
Rock. Yeah, right.
34:23.32
Stephen
Right use' your man. What's his name again is middle name is Elvis Michael yeah so is it. It's an inver commas Michael Elvis but pasette. That's the thing I forgot besette besca that's a lovely name isn't it.
34:24.92
Ross
Is your man Michael Elvis is not in his name at all is a moniker. Ah there is Michael Basette yeah or is he basquetti I remember so apologies Michael if you listen.
34:42.17
Stephen
Yeah, it's yeah yeah, it's not but we're trying our best Ma sorry if we got it wrong.
34:43.40
Ross
Um, they um so yeah, so ease back but the whole album is just wolfy smashing all the parts out. Yeah.
34:50.80
Stephen
It is again highly impressive into like it's just I just find it so impressive when people can do that you know like Dave Grol Prince so many people can do it just like oh yeah, that's just me doing all that stuff. It doesn't make.
35:06.68
Ross
Um, yeah, yeah, yeah, well is a massive plan of foo fighters and obviously the very and you can hear that I think that's the biggest takeaway from this record as well.
35:08.55
Stephen
He's done that as well. He plays drums and and I think Noel Gallagher as well. He's like played drums on his stuff and what it's like that multi-instrumental thing. But also you write in the songs and stuff is.
35:22.40
Ross
2 things that I thought from this album are it definitely sounds like somebody who's toured playing their own songs more and that they're like right? this will work live this bit's going to sound good. You know I can do breakdowns and I guess we'll we'll experience that one live but I reckon the.
35:31.38
Stephen
Yes. M.
35:40.80
Ross
New tracks are probably more fun to watch live than the older ones and it ah it kind of feels more like a band even though it is still 1 person feels more like a band than holy yeah.
35:44.41
Stephen
Yeah, yeah.
35:50.16
Stephen
But you might have like written this with that in mind maybe like performing it live because you know like the Dave grol says in it. The first foo fighters album is just him and he's just like oh I I don't think I think I'm right and saying like you never thought oh well I might not go out and play it.
35:58.42
Ross
Yeah.
36:05.60
Ross
Um, is that it.
36:07.36
Stephen
So it's like so when you got the band to together. It's probably like a master band or it is' like oh writing songs for yeah for playing live and stuff I don't really know I'm not as versed in their um back catalog. Um as but um, but yeah.
36:08.90
Ross
Yeah, and they made the color and then it's you know the color in the shape which is like ah is it the color in the shape is that the second album just grab along and block is shape. Um fair. But yeah, again, you go from a your solo project like.
36:26.40
Stephen
Yes, it's just high for highly impressives people who can do that like writing in it performing it and playing everything. It must get very I was thinking of this because I was listening to it a lot as a refresher um on the train on um, earlier and I was just like I would you like.
36:26.63
Ross
Ah, Ban project.
36:32.83
Ross
Um, yes, malin.
36:45.72
Stephen
You know, just from a sort of practical point of view of like assigning tasks to yourself I can imagine just getting in a right? Even if I had those abilities which I just want to make it clear I do not got no musical um abilities or prowess whatsoever. But like if you can do all that stuff. You know it's like oh do the bass first and then or it's like oh.
36:49.78
Ross
Yep.
37:03.21
Ross
Um, drum things you do drums press.
37:05.21
Stephen
Oh do deal right? Okay, but then it's like you do all the drum just go I Just do a bit see if that goes with that and it's like well I may good be maybe or do a bit of Guitarre because then that might yeah yeah, yeah, were you no way.
37:08.55
Ross
You and in what they do what they go that walk you through what they do in the old business you you do what you call you tracking So you know you just call it. This is called tracking so you do tracking.
37:22.87
Stephen
What's it called U tracking o.
37:25.82
Ross
So but I imagine something like him again if we ever had that opportunity to ask him you you make a dam you could make a demo with like computer drums and then you could at any you track everything like in the box or you yeah but I imagine what you do is he would Yes, you'd have that. But then you just play to a click.
37:38.18
Stephen
It's just like a guide into it like yeah like a like a rough I'm what's a click again. That's just like right right? like Ah, what's those wavy things. Yeah yeah, metronome yeah.
37:47.14
Ross
Ah, Metron a metronome. So yeah, you'd have the the track to a click kind of you just know where and again because you've written the song. He's like right? The intro is going to be these drums and then the verse is these drum you know I mean he's got it all in his head doesn't he so in some ways It's probably the easier because he's like right on a buildup here because I'm going to go.
37:59.85
Stephen
Yeah, yeah.
38:05.39
Ross
Because you played once you're in the grid and actually we talked about it last week remember when John John 5 was about a leave and then David Lee Roth was like and he just to come back and rerecord everything because we didn't record to a click and it's that because it's then once it's on a click. It's in a grid so you can then in the computer you can move it.
38:15.48
Stephen
Right.
38:21.37
Stephen
Oh yeah, yeah I remember she saying that they were just getting in the vam right? Yeah yeah.
38:24.74
Ross
Yeah, so so yes, you did you did traditionally and again but he's probably so talented if you play bang on a click you can. You can pretty much put everything in whatever order but to make something feel more alive. You do the drums first and you you know you can then be in the pocket of the the click the foundation.
38:42.73
Stephen
Right? right? So then it's a bit like just trying to think of a lot other things is like ah it's like getting like with i' ah, styling yourself out for a clothes. It's like you start with the shoes. Everything else falls into place isn't it So like your shoes are the drums. The bass.
38:43.48
Ross
The track.
38:52.86
Ross
Yeah, exactly yeah whereas you know you Van Halen's like those albums were all recorded in and the beatles were all recorded in a room live no click and you can get different that speeds up and slows down over time. You cannot.
39:01.85
Stephen
Yeah, live and I suppose it's like there's no right or way it wrong way. It's like what we're expressed but I could just it's just impressive not to get in a mess.
39:11.99
Ross
Put that music on a grid because it it. There's the push and pull of humans which if you listen to your your Ted Templeman's of the world and hear. Um, what his name anyway, like your old school producers they at how so so. But.
39:16.84
Stephen
Ah, oh yeah.
39:27.60
Stephen
To togo you Tocker was a producer when he or he is yeah I'll tell you want any questions asked I'll bloody tell you is that a lie I can see.
39:31.70
Ross
Listen and I'll do whatever you need. Um I give very he does have real turn up you turn up in ah Circlele Turns it to a fridge opening you.
39:46.71
Stephen
It spotlight. Oh no, it's just the light of the fridge. The cheeses gone moldy love ah the potters gone on. We should have left it out all night um yeah so um, yeah, well, that's that's that made that's makes a bit clear.
39:50.79
Ross
Um, um, um.
40:00.49
Ross
So yeah, special now order. But um, yeah, like I me it's still incredibly impressive to be able to do old. So like if you doing it by yourself. It wouldn't take you that long cause you know one track now.
40:05.49
Stephen
It really is isn't it How long do it take jerean to put all that together like how long oh that's interesting now I would think the opposite is that because you haven't got make cups of tea for other people if they're in the studio.
40:16.63
Ross
You know and like incredible one and alsoll you recorded it at 50 one fifty. So it's not like it a book you know is so in some ways it could be whenever but I reckon if you know like drums is is the thing that usually takes.
40:22.79
Stephen
Yeah, right? Yeah yeah.
40:33.78
Ross
If you've got a good drummer. It's the quickest thing to do and he's a wick. He's an incredible drummer and so there's actually so there's a few so things I can't really that aren't any good for the podcast but when I was doing the research. There's an old rig rundown where he just goes through all their live gear. Ah yeah, and then there's a new one.
40:35.50
Stephen
Yeah.
40:49.20
Stephen
Well on Youtube's like well.
40:53.32
Ross
From a couple of months ago which is a drum breakdown where they interview wolfie and the drummer and he's like the drummers like yeah if wolf going. He's like Wolfang is an amazing drummer and actually wolfie talks about it. He's like he learned to play drums first so he learned drums. And taught himself to play drums. No, but there's a cool thing so when they in in the um interviews he said he uses some of Alex Van Halen's drum kits on this record so he was like yeah my uncle just let me go into the vault and pick and choose like oh use this snare use this thing and but he I think he plays.
41:11.19
Stephen
He but he didn't uncle Alex didn't teach him.
41:21.86
Stephen
Right.
41:28.58
Stephen
Ah, nice.
41:30.34
Ross
W kits but yeah, he was like oh yeah I used like an you know Uncle L snare on this. It's yeah yeah, ah oh cool. But yeah, so like but yeah, he but he plays on the dreams he thought so but I reckon he's just got the talent and it. Yeah yeah, he's um.
41:35.60
Stephen
Ah, because they're on good terms't they they're like yeah yeah, yeah, um, ah, that's nice. He must have give him a lesson or 2 over the years musten him when he was a kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right's in the jeans into.
41:50.20
Ross
And it's funny because as I was listening I was saying she I was listening to the um, the remastered yesterday I really think Alex Van Halen's like a really underrated drummer and what not doesn't do anything.
42:00.78
Stephen
Oh yeah, there's so many people like that.
42:05.64
Ross
Don't mean this in a disparaging way. He doesn't do anything crazy spectacular. But the way he plays I find especially when you've got Eddie Van Halen just going absolutely mental over the top. It's actually really impressive like how you know? yeah.
42:12.94
Stephen
Yeah, but that's teamwork though in it because it's not like trying to take over. It's just like working together as a team's like well no that this is your bit now. So I'm gonna support that isn't it. It's improv it. It's finest isn't it.
42:23.21
Ross
Yeah, and the lock it is and the lock in on it and his stuff is wicked and that's why I was really it sounds like this is fucking great. Um.
42:30.72
Stephen
Yeah, and I suppose when there's a bands when that sort of thing doesn't come together it asks when people fall out and hate each other and then fall apart. It.
42:38.33
Ross
Yeah, so so we opened the track. So it's an interesting album I think he's Joshua treat this now. What I I don't know if that's common parlance. But what I would say is joshu tree first 4 or 5 tracks. The album is hit after hit after hit.
42:44.12
Stephen
Now What does that mean.
42:54.77
Stephen
Yes, oh I see yeah right? Okay, so.
42:57.10
Ross
Ah, walk you through the track list of the Joshu track. What do we open up on the Joshua tree first track a little song called where the streets have no name.
43:09.24
Stephen
I tell you what right? Sometimes you know the Spotify is you know I'm on the Spotify is I'm is ethically wrong because no one gets paid. But anyway I do discover new music and I do go and see people when they're in town if they're like undiscovered um exactly um.
43:18.30
Ross
Yeah, we just had to remorge our flats for to see Wolfgang. So.
43:26.90
Stephen
But um, yeah, it's just like whenever like you know if you do like a shuffle or whatever when the streets have my name comes on honestly every time I get this surge of like oh like because it it's just it's just because it creeps up on. You isn't it and it's like it's just such a oh I Love that song.
43:34.75
Ross
Amazing.
43:41.30
Ross
So the joshire tree track one where the streets have no name track to I still haven't found what I'm looking for track 3 with or without you track 4 bullet the blue sky which is boom. Anyway, it's good. That's it and then the rest all great songs.
43:49.35
Stephen
Whoa that's a very good song who. Oh I don't know that 1.
44:00.34
Ross
But you yeah.
44:00.89
Stephen
Load of people do that loads of people have or have got that I would spread things around a bit but there's like first 5 or 6 since like and then you don't really ever listen to it then if you sort of it. Almost forget to press stop or rewind and you hear the song you like oh god yeah, there are others on this album I just sort of almost.
44:17.28
Ross
Yeah, and so I feel like when I first like when the singles for this came out I remember being like these are pretty cool and then it kind of passed me by when the album came out and then when we when I was doing the research for this episode I was listened to it again and I was like yes.
44:18.74
Stephen
Listen to it like an EP or something.
44:36.40
Ross
So right? actually and I and kind of that some of the notes I've written here. What I said I said it's interact this type of music can exist to a point of success because the Usa is so big. And there is still that sort of niche for like that type of rock music whereas in the Uk is there is not and in Europe maybe some point. But yeah, it's like.
44:53.21
Stephen
Um.
44:55.59
Stephen
The title.
45:05.60
Stephen
Well also it's It's very um again I don't mean this in a bad way at all. It's just a bit. It's a very American sound isn't it which yeah and it's like I don't know if there's much. Ah, yeah, and it's like.
45:08.70
Ross
Yeah, and super slick and and El hit all the albums. He's produced sound like this.
45:21.48
Stephen
It's like maybe that sort of sound doesn't resonate as much with people as much over here. You know you I mean I said like a yeah, well that's why you know the whole Brit pop thing when that happened is like I think that took off because it sounded so like a British version of you know it's like it's this like his own identity sort of thing you know.
45:24.62
Ross
Um, you colleged and what i'interested it right.
45:31.42
Ross
Yeah, yeah, probably and the drums. So one of the things that I don't very sound and that's a very modern thing is to trick what they call drums triggering So like when you hit a note.
45:46.49
Stephen
Oh what does that mean.
45:49.96
Ross
So when you hit a snare. You know you're not a robot on you so you hit a snare and it'll sound different every time to like do do do you know they'll be fair. This sounds.
45:57.77
Stephen
Ah, right, right? right.
46:02.28
Ross
And it's very modern rock and our first ep was like this as well and actually I think he did do trigger on the new own but he did it in a more natural way eyes it sounds trigger to shit. So it's just like everything sounds absolutely perfect and every note kind of sounds the same whereas like you listened to like the first.
46:18.34
Stephen
Ah, um.
46:19.42
Ross
Van Halen album those albums like and or like led Zeppelin and those drums sound live and in the room and there's movement and stuff but this is slick and polish and that's what to say that he didn't hit them perfectly because um I think he did because he's an incredible drummer but like it doesn't have that same.
46:24.40
Stephen
Um, yeah, yeah.
46:35.48
Ross
I Don't know it's just like really it kind of sounds plasticy to me. So no you, there's there's there's there's plugins. You can add to tracks So when it hears a note it plays a sample so you'd have another track play in the sample at the same time then you mix them in.
46:37.35
Stephen
What do you think like what is it like like a perfect one and it was like on a loop or something like repeated.
46:49.98
Stephen
Right.
46:52.85
Ross
To give you that like and that's that's just kind of modern way music. Absolutely, It's like aitude. It's like kind of Auto Tune or whatever if' drums. Um, so yes, oh.
46:54.85
Stephen
Yeah, whereas like the improv people like almost iron in out the creases. The imperfections. Oh yeah I like that the number of things recently I've heard sorry some job just saying like the number of things I've heard sometimes in. Especially when you got your edphones on when you're working and it's like oh I think the one that springs to mind. There's a track. Um, oh what is it is it politic by Cole play and you can hear the chair squeak and some you know it's like you can hear like and or you can hear like the.
47:19.92
Ross
Okay, right? yeah.
47:30.45
Stephen
You know, like the the the wood of the guitar being twisted but this chair squeak sort of thing and and unlike it when you can hear people go with they're about to think if I saw these little imperfections. Yeah, which make it you know and because you almost like if you with a certain songs that when when people do do that. It's almost you can hear them sort of like.
47:31.56
Ross
Um, yeah, yeah, the breath.
47:47.96
Ross
Um, makes it. Yeah yeah.
47:49.15
Stephen
You know when the bell goes in boxing and like you know when the fighters just gotten but before the bell goes there sort of like shadow box and you know there sort of play and then they go. It's almost like you can hear people getting ready to bout out that first. No I quite like all that you know, but anyway.
47:57.53
Ross
Yeah well Eddie Van Halen does it on spanish fly on Van Halen too doesn't he he does the he does that Bri he takes that breath and he goes like start. Yeah me too.
48:08.46
Stephen
Yeah I love all that stuff but you know is some. It's not. It's not in vogue right now move with the times guys.
48:14.90
Ross
That's not that's not the modern way. Yes, so we'll play a bit of right. So we played but keep in a bit more a right because it's ah it's good I like it and so yeah, so what I was going to say was I start listening to it and I was like oh it's all right? then I tell you what Stephen I was sitting sitting a woke up the next day little lear wo wolfie borrowed and found in. Yeah and oh I want to listen to that again. Yeah, and then so we try well I don't think we'll go through all the tracks because again it's ah, dead long this album as well.
48:37.46
Stephen
Fory'd got in your ear he've borrowrowed. He'd burrowed with his with his tipt top melodies Im I'm getting the tracklist and up here and now so I can follow it at the same time there we go? Yeah, no problem.
48:52.92
Ross
48 minutes
48:53.91
Stephen
Yeah, so where many how many is it likes us 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ten eleven how many's in a normal album 9 and.
49:01.85
Ross
Well tell oh have you got? Oh um, yeah yeah, 10 10 12 but they're all long. They're all like four and a half minutes long
49:06.60
Stephen
Yeah, well they eat that you know you got allow a few minutes for a guitar solo here and there aren't you no yeah.
49:10.50
Ross
You doesn't even do that many on them. But anyway, let's right again.
49:34.36
Ross
Um, how much longer can I'll fast forward it to.
49:39.66
Stephen
That was one of my favorite ones that one? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good analogy that.
49:39.75
Ross
Chorus yes is great. so so I so I mean about Joshua Treed it's sola but yeah and this his voice is wicked as well. Yeah, this one here. Um.
49:59.16
Ross
Um, this is same like oh coming. Ah, very food fight is that is it? Yeah yeah, know.
50:22.80
Stephen
And his voice almost sounds a bit like um, ah Chris is Chris Cornell soundgu and fella I'm getting a little bit of you know it's like drinking wine isn't I'm mind getting over of getting dot to um, um the flavors of um, tone tones of um yeah I got a little bit of him then.
50:35.31
Ross
Um, yeah, it's the it's that put the Torso on front. Um.
50:37.95
Stephen
But but hey God that's not saying he's copy and I'm just saying you know is its influences and stuff and doing your own thing and but that's that's that's great.
50:50.24
Ross
Um, yeah, there's a few guitar sauces and I don't think that one's yeah, it's ah.
50:54.84
Stephen
There was what there was um, one that he did and one of the songs. Um, and you know he's he was doing is you know it was. It was the classic VH one he was sort of doing and it's just like wow that's that's amazing
51:05.10
Ross
Um, yeah, yeah.
51:10.97
Stephen
But I was like I was surprised it didn't oh it sounds rude I don't mean so but it's like it didn't go I thought you might have gone somewhere else I just like doing that thing that we know you can do and you know is a family is a great family um thing. But I thought it was gonna go somewhere else but it thought was just stopped.
51:17.46
Ross
Um, right? Yeah I Just think yeah yeah was I was I've actually that and yeah in my notes is that like I was like oh I don't. I mean granted, we're covering this on a Van Halen Podcast. So obviously but like I don't want to talk about how much he his playing sounds like his dad but it's also yeah, it.
51:38.30
Stephen
But that's great that but I think I think that's fine because that's goingnna happen and it's like that. That's that's that's that's a wonderful thing and that's like because it's in the genes as I was saying but I thought oh.
51:46.32
Ross
Yeah, it's is it is. It's in an attack and the way he plays because like if I played those notes with the same and it's kind of that thing that I think people talk about it and I think even Eddie Van Halen talked about it was like we don't worry about copycats because it's in here.
52:02.93
Stephen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:04.75
Ross
It's in the fingers and it is true like how he plays and it it sounds like that. It's like you've learned this from the person that you know me was learned taught myself and watched people be like so I'm playing the same notes but it doesn't sound the same at all.
52:14.17
Stephen
Yeah, yeah, from yeah.
52:21.41
Stephen
Oh yeah, yeah, he's putting his own la that he's doing his own spin on it. But I yeah oh yeah, totally well, it's like when needed the Taylor Orukins gig isn't it and you seeing him doing it live and it's like whoa. It's like properly like.
52:24.26
Ross
Yeah, yeah, but like in those moments where I get it does properly give me goose bombs because it sounds like it sounds like like a um man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like yeah, it's like in it's like the matrix when he goes I know Kung fu.
52:39.61
Stephen
Well yeah, it's like oh it's so is yeah ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was wonderful that when it so is but you know yeah I mean I would it's like and if he wasn't doing that stuff.
52:44.56
Ross
He's like I know how to do that I inhale it I am what this is it and it's fucking brilliant is like yes yeah.
52:58.29
Ross
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:59.00
Stephen
Um, one of his I would be disappointed I Just I just thought like you know it's like you can hear this amazing like guitar work you know, but you know I was he did an impression of it then we um, but but but like um, but then I thought it might have just gone into you know, phase into summer.
53:08.88
Ross
Um, maybe.
53:12.50
Ross
Yeah, yes, he does have it is God this because Iss what his favorite band I watched he was write down as well. Yeah, yeah, but his his favorite band is a bank called Ma Sugar who are like.
53:16.26
Stephen
You know doing is that you know I don't know hey maybe he did do that god and I've just not listened carefully enough you know I mean I mean I've only listened to this about 3 or 4 times as in you know, over different occasions. You know. So maybe I've just mu my sugar.
53:31.24
Ross
Really mean mass sugar m me SH you g g a h m e s sorry ma sugar m e s h e you g g h they're really happy sugar.
53:34.16
Stephen
Or Mush Sugargar M U S M E s my sugar. Oh okay I thought it was like me ladyy Hello me ladydy hello my sugar. Yeah.
53:51.67
Ross
Ah, it's got because it's got some beefy drummy drum breakdowns out this ah this bit. Um.
53:52.45
Stephen
Ah, okay, that makes more sense.
54:00.36
Stephen
Beefy Score That's a lot of beef that's like the drums are in at a beef proper beef skins just right punch punch in those drums.
54:01.73
Ross
Because like okay, but like yeah, well,, That's what I mean out like that's what I mean by triggered because it's like properly in your face. Yeah yeah, Ah, they sound great better. Let's play a bit like a pastime like this one lot as on. Are.
54:48.60
Ross
Um, I be love to see you try this one really reminds me that being do star.
54:51.59
Stephen
Yeah, this was a good one that reminds me of summer. What is it? Oh I don't Okay I'm not disversed with.
54:58.50
Ross
Well reminds me of Jimmy Eat world there's like some tracks that have that and I think he's a fan of them as well. So it's kind of going just and to see that kind of like his inspirations of like classic rock. Obviously what he was brought up in is like metal tunes and then kind of like.
55:08.80
Stephen
Ah, with their back catalog.
55:16.79
Ross
His favorite drummers Travis Barker from b 83 so like you know so like and again that kind of like crazy drum fills. That's very Travis barkery. Um, ah plus metal. But yeah, this one's got a great course as well. Um.
55:18.36
Stephen
All right.
55:33.21
Ross
Is also the shortest song on the album. Um, this is great, but um.
55:35.24
Stephen
And it three sixteen hours yeah
55:50.83
Ross
Me up to what I think it's on that it's the. Final chorus he goes he properly goes for it and I was like oh yes, go on some.
56:11.64
Stephen
yeah yeah I remember that I'd just like to say that I'm ah disgusted and disappointed that Travis Barker is cited as one of his drumming heroes and not me the drummer of the beatles.
56:28.29
Ross
Ringo Ringo I want to I don't know if you remember a famous video you put out about.
56:29.57
Stephen
Bloody ringo.
56:36.62
Stephen
Do not send any more things to be signed because they will be going in the bloody bin after the seventeenth of April do not send any more things or letters.
56:41.99
Ross
Well for that Wolfgang Van Halen had sent copy of the white album to your house open to have it framed.
56:54.91
Stephen
And if it if you it's it's the same rule for everybody if I just change the rule for 1 person then everybody will be sending bloody sack-loads of bloody things to be signed drumsticks beefy drums. Made out of beef for that thumping heavy sound crisp packets or leather jackets from hamburg all the bloody things to be signed with this very special silver pen I used to like those.
57:22.38
Ross
Um, ringle viewer sign. What was your favorite. What was your favorite Chris packets design ringo.
57:31.73
Stephen
Bloody Lovely ones from the past the ah the ah the the Walker's crisps before they put bloody foil on the inside for to preserve them I liked it when they were more polyththene than the made out of foil I liked I liked it when I opened the crisps I Never knew if they were fresh or not.
57:37.59
Ross
Um, ah oh yeah.
57:46.46
Ross
Um, is that in the same.
57:51.49
Stephen
That was the crisp lottery bloody change. Ah.
57:53.10
Ross
And I thought you would be be more of a salt and shake man.
57:57.47
Stephen
Well, you know as long as I can shake em and salt them to the beat of my own bloody drums I I whacked the I whacked the drum with me right? and and I salt and shake with the left and boy what? what? a what a sound that makes.
58:11.85
Ross
Um, of course peace and law.
58:17.90
Stephen
Anyway, Bloody disgusted make sure the next time you cite a favorite drummer bull fee. You sight me the bloody goat. But thanks, we go? yeah.
58:25.58
Ross
I didn't bring butwinko I didn't realize he to urge himself as the goat I like it. Oh cheers and go nice to nice from to pop up. Yeah use bit bit. No do any.

Oh hullo there? Um I was the cow um well on the years on the track or the bed there was theuse my bellad I've not been paid yet. It was I've recorded it in August I think it was and um, it's very difficult to get cause I don't have an agent.
01:02:37.99
Ross
I.
01:02:52.36
Stephen
Very difficulty because they just you know I just whacked the bell that I have around my neck and um, it's just very.
01:02:55.70
Ross
Yeah, and did they they brought you into the studio that day they wheeled you into 51 fifty today
01:03:02.12
Stephen
Oh yes, yes, yes, they they? Well they lord me in really with the promise of grass some fresh grass and some hay and um, they just sort of Lord me and then before I knew where I was I was in a tea I was in a studio and but I was very happy to be there. But again it was lovely to take part in this a beautiful album but it just I just don't like the fact I haven't been paid.
01:03:12.20
Ross
Um, ah wow.
01:03:20.57
Ross

Stephen
A bit that but Mrs Mrs. um Mrs. Mrs. mrs. Mrs. layla cow
01:03:36.60
Ross
You said you were lowered in on the promise of grass but just um, like you were loaded in on the promise of payment.
01:03:37.81
Stephen
Yes, oh the easier? Yes well I was Lord I mean once I see grass you see I don't think of that anything else.
01:03:44.28
Ross
I mean and that's because you you sort of you as a cow often talk jive So you mean like by grass you mean, kind of a make it a bit dough was that where you kind of you attack your drive talking.
01:03:55.19
Stephen
Oh yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes, you speak my language. Yes, yes, yes you I could see you're a um, a bovine a jazz talking a fan and oh is it Fritz that I've lord.
01:04:01.68
Ross
Yeah I wish you I don't I don't believe the term is bovine anymore. But I.
01:04:11.75
Stephen
Well anyway, a um, a a milk-producing um animal and um, yes and I was lord in and well I just saw the green of the grass and I just cut I Just it's like a positive red mist I don't Everything's just cancelled out around me and um and there I was and.
01:04:13.75
Ross
And yeah, yeah.
01:04:24.35
Ross
Um, prince.
01:04:29.70
Stephen
Studio and I just thought all there could be a pretty penny to be made here.
01:04:31.28
Ross
And you didn't just think they could have just taken the cowbell off you and then back ah you would like? oh.
01:04:36.77
Stephen
Or they tried they tried but its worlded around me you see? Yes, it would it not deliberately of just a very hot day one day and the metal moulded together. Yes, it gets very very hot and if anything is to be known about scientific. Ah measurements is getting hotter.
01:04:43.75
Ross
Um, a very warm California a m.
01:04:50.89
Ross
Strength has yeah it's global warming huh.
01:04:53.64
Stephen
Unfortunately so um, yes, if anyway if you know anyone because in Theina it's just more like an appeal related if wolfy if you're listening because I know you'd be tuning in if I could get some payment that would be I'm cheing it to a good years is little little. No.
01:05:00.25
Ross

01:05:14.48
Ross
It is like so it's a faffin.
01:05:22.43
Ross
You think you'd thought ringgo had brought his own cowbell as well wouldnt your ring goes. Yeah, that's why.
01:05:29.99
Stephen
Yeah, as long as no one wants me to bloody sign it and give it away on Bloody Ebay or some celebrity auction then ah I'm not signing anything I'll sign it in invisible ink and it'll and it'll backfire.
01:05:42.10
Ross
Wow what you Rigo spite signs things.
01:05:51.59
Stephen
Ah, any I don't sign it with best wishes I sign bloody worst wishes. Yeah no no la peaces and love Ringo he loves the peace and loved any. Yeah.
01:05:57.83
Ross
Um, fuck you ring. Go yeah and you peace in love. But with an asterisk and then at any but bloody. Not yeah.
01:06:07.68
Stephen
Piece It really small print but in but in caps you're right now in like blocked taps um is um, it's a very I think the Cowboy app Cowbo is um is um, underused.
01:06:13.66
Ross
Oh yeah, was nice.
01:06:22.60
Ross
Um, and.
01:06:23.55
Stephen
And also that thing you've told me about this before and I can't remember the name of it but you know in like in um, rock bands and stuff arc can me I sound like an ante you know in um, rock bands. But you know that thing when there's people are be doing like a drummer will be doing drum in and then they'll sort of hit that sort of it's like a.
01:06:36.74
Ross
And oh the Bell is the bell of the symbol. Yes, yeah, the bell of it. That's the bell of the symbol. So as simple you hear it goes a.
01:06:42.84
Stephen
Metallic thing. Yeah and it sort of goes ting ching and it's like aosmith like phils quite aerosmithy to me instead. What's that good right? right.
01:06:55.52
Ross
But if you hit the bell at the top yous like a belling you're hit a different part of the drop correct there. You go.
01:06:58.82
Stephen
Ah, So what? you just like almost like the it's the fixture you're hitting is it Oh right? I've never really known what that was to be honest, Oh okay, so yes, so it's I feel like that's because that's kind of bit like um, you know if you like you like in a. And a modern pop song or some up they'll stick a saxophone on it and it feels really nostalgic. Its and there use it a lot and synth wave songs and stuff. Um because it sounds nostalgic and it feels like 80 songs.
01:07:17.85
Ross
Um, yeah.
01:07:22.76
Ross
Um, any these kind of sexophony. Yeah, very kind of ah re yay Yeah, um.
01:07:27.00
Stephen
You know m 8 3 do it like or done. It's m 8 3 hour m eighty three I don't know if you're respect which witness is but they use it a lot and it's like it. So it's like that sort of like um.
01:07:34.19
Ross
Or at what to face? Um, hey I just met you She did on Earth. Yeah.
01:07:37.99
Stephen
Yeah, things like that and yeah, so people doing that like hitting that fixture thing the was it called Das the court the bell isn't it people should do that more because it's got nice nostalgic vibes. Yeah with a bit of cowbell.
01:07:41.54
Ross
Yeah that's lll. Yeah yeah, get bit count and then so what he's done over with a bit of cowbell the video for this one and I think for right are fun to watch because I think if you remember. The first ah album he had like all the jokes about ah no sex. Sorry oh yeah here it is another this is another celebration at the end of the world is is's actually for this video I'll play a bit this because I won't put the whole thing but it's the premises. It's all Wolfang Van Halen's play in and then. During the course of the video. He's like fuck this you're fired and they go and he goes to a bar and then he meets the band that now plays within life. So that's course it's kind of an introduction to the band. Um, but 2 he's made 2 major videos. Yeah, this is Bs is some bad.
01:08:22.19
Stephen
Oh that's funny.
01:08:28.44
Stephen
Okay, how many singles has he brought out so far. Okay I'll have to check those out I've not seen them.
01:08:39.83
Ross
Strumman here which is is quite amazing.
01:09:04.30
Ross
Okay, you know hear anything. Oh I could I could see the video so I could tell that you could hear it. That's all fine. Well would sure will how can I play that well I've given you the description.
01:09:06.70
Stephen
No I thought I'd better flag it in case, you thought the listener was listening to it. Oh but I'm sure we cut this bit out a yeah. Did you like my mime. Oh I went like this I went.
01:09:22.80
Ross
I didn't see your mind because I I only in back and thought oh I should probably comment on this because you hadn't said anything and I was like oh well let me do what will I do shall I do anything special or I probably not found I'll play it off my phone and then we can just. Well I was doing a nice description before it wasn't I and and then ah you did a lovely mime Steve saying you can so I'll do it listener is we're gonna go old school and I'll just I'll just play off ah off my phone. Basically the premises this guy and this band isn't very good and.
01:09:43.40
Stephen
Of a lovely description here. Thanks.
01:10:01.17
Stephen
Oh.
01:10:01.31
Ross
Hello with hilarious consequences. Um.
01:10:09.37
Ross
Um, or time you you got it. You got this? um.
01:10:21.70
Ross
Um, you were doing it earlier. You know, ah give give it another try. You've got it. You've got it. Um.
01:10:43.32
Ross
Um, please stop. You don't know what you're doing. Do you bit fun that yeah yeah, so I mean it you talk about long. So this video is 8 minutes long it doesn't start playing until they.
01:10:47.95
Stephen
Oh that's good I like it when people have a bit of fun. My music video.
01:11:00.00
Ross
3 minute Mark yes bit so that's.
01:11:02.89
Stephen
So sorry if we've covered this but is he and in an independent artist or is he with a record label.
01:11:06.71
Ross
He I believe he's got distribution through Bmg. So yeah, think he's easy and d he's an indie.
01:11:15.38
Stephen
Yeah, see that's why that's really good and there's I think more and more people are doing that with Ray is the most recent um person isn't that who's like just and massively successful and it's like doing things on you because I think the record company she was with.
01:11:21.68
Ross
That's right? yeah.
01:11:26.61
Ross
Um, they wouldn't put up how would they go? yeah.
01:11:30.58
Stephen
Be like well don't what I don't like what you're doing and she was like well screw you I'm gonna releasee it myself and now she's blue and blown up everywhere and and it's like but that's why he can I was ah asking because that's why you can do a video for like 8 minutes and do songs you know whether we agree with it or not, you can do songs that are long and they are ones on because. He's an independent artist and I think that's more creative people should be afforded more creative freedom.
01:11:52.51
Ross
Troll and absolutely well let's play a bit more of this one I where Scott I think this has got that guitar so on it. Um. Um, fast forward. It. The harmies on it are wicked as well. Here we go here. We go here. We go. This is very food fighters.
01:12:20.76
Stephen
Here We go here. We go.
01:12:24.45
Ross
Um, now shout it back to me now shout it back to me now shout it back to the breath and. Are. Are.
01:13:12.96
Ross
Um I like that.
01:13:15.30
Stephen
Cool that was nice with it. Yeah.
01:13:23.69
Ross

01:13:28.90
Stephen
Um, outward yeah.
01:13:33.17
Stephen
Oh yeah, I might go um in a Bruce Willis vest yeah Yeah be nice with it. Yeah low pony toll like um like like villains in a like in a and their 90 s movie.
01:13:40.25

01:13:57.94
Ross
Was good and mean I mean money you got your tickets space I've got diplomatic immunity that lethal weapon too like it doesn't Oh yeah, oh yeah, with what sim he chops his finger off with his cigar.
01:14:11.70
Stephen
To Um Mission Impossible to I think um yeah with a cigar or that always makes me wince and that's his mate is oh, that's all it gets me. That's his mate. Oh yeah, dukely Scott. Yes.
01:14:17.73
Ross
Oh but it wasn't in. No you you got a Scott. I don't think he really is no because he's a bit shy at acting.
01:14:29.64
Stephen
Is it a national treasure. Oh ah, he was um, he took over from the bloke who in I'm taken 3 taken 1 amazing taken 2 amazing taken 3 ah Larry David but
01:14:38.54
Ross
Great.
01:14:45.61
Ross
Um, who said.
01:14:48.27
Stephen
And I think the but 1 of the big problems about that film was that they didn't the ex us but are the the the the stepdad or whatever the woman the the bloke that the woman married is what ex-wife is a different bloke and it was Dore Scott it's confusing and he's doing an american accent.
01:14:57.60
Ross
Yeah, that's right, the other thing that blew my mind. Ah and I didn't realize until I went Imdb is the momm intake in is ah Ivana.
01:15:12.90
Stephen
Um, oh yeah, she's yeah and she's the Gene Gray and x-men. No yeah, yeah, yeah, she's she um, squashes men with her hips with her with her.

01:15:31.44
Ross
Um, Plot was was that not well that was in Austin Powers when they're taking the piss I think it would.
01:15:40.72
Ross
Um, oh.
01:15:45.51
Ross
I play gonna play 2 more 2 more tracks we're gonna play take about because it's got a lovely long all guitar solo on it and then I'll play one called Optimist which has got some do you know the band tool.
01:15:47.62
Stephen
I I got to taken.
01:15:58.42
Stephen
I Avered a tool I don't really know much about their body or work are they kind of bit like creed.
01:16:00.84
Ross
Is a big tool and as well and it's kind of just really interesting. No they're more. They're metal but very interesting less cliched. Yes.
01:16:12.85
Stephen
Interesting metal. Okay.
01:16:17.10
Ross
And their drummer is like 1 of the best drummers ever. He's like Neil Pert levels of like whoa from rush like oh my god this goes amazing but I can.
01:16:23.30
Stephen
So can you can you do an impression of um, a tool song like you did of the impression of the creed song he doctored actually say words you can just go. Yeah.
01:16:26.29
Ross
Well may not may not James he does have like a and I'll be like do look loop boom yeah is yeah.
01:16:44.21
Stephen
That's all I needed I've got that I got the total. Um, ah there was a great briefing I Kind of know what to expect now. Thanks.
01:16:47.60
Ross
Um, so this is but this isn't this isn't too late. This is take about which is the longest. Oh no is longest on the album's got pickical guitar solo on it. Oh well, we'll go from the middle. Um.
01:16:54.51
Stephen
Okay.
01:17:06.40
Ross
And and and.
01:17:23.80
Ross
Um, you know it's funny I'm listening to this with my fancy head front on and I can hear a lot more I can hear a lot of Elvis's production on this. It's actually.
01:17:33.90
Ross
What going on in this album? Yeah sis a guitar solo I think.
01:17:34.63
Stephen
Ah, yeah, is so.
01:17:52.79
Ross
Are. Are.
01:18:30.42
Ross
Um, nothing stuff that um.
01:18:33.42
Stephen
It's lovely. Lovely but I was the hell would you remember that if you're playing it live because it's like like I you know all that bit I do that bit that bit there because it just you know what I mean is is that like do you think that was that when he did that.
01:18:48.42
Ross
Um, well one in yeah.
01:18:49.16
Stephen
Was that planned or do you think that's improvised or do you think that's sort of because either way it sounds amazing. But I'm just like if you're if you're gonna do that live that must be have So I mean you'd know because you were you know when you've done your stuff and when you're doing guitar thing. It's like oh God What? you.
01:18:58.79
Ross
Was I a tech I like from someone once was you and I wonder if you'd done it here and then you'd play that but like you basically put it on a loop and you just improvise improvise improvise you go back through it and then you like cut and chop all up.
01:19:13.45
Stephen
So yeah, right.
01:19:18.74
Ross
And and move bits around. So so then rather than because quite often with the way you like learn guitar or a lot people learn guitars like you're like in a box in the boxes at the scales think of like how Slash Plays Guitar Solos it's like very kind of pentatonic bluesy the all slash whereas that's very.
01:19:22.71
Stephen
Ah.
01:19:32.56
Stephen
Yeah, yeah.
01:19:37.17
Ross
Free flowing and moving all over the place. So one way that I would have thought you could come up with so lot that could be completely wrong for him but is like you just go fucking mad doing loads of different random stuff and then you go through all the takes and go all like that bit. Oh well, let that bit and then you cut it up and chop up all together so you get this mad solo that doesn't really make any sense. Then you learn to play it so kind of like like a coage. Um, no, you might all like yeah yeah I did that I that for for solos for for us. It was like I would just loop and then be like oh that's quite cool.
01:19:57.91
Stephen
Oh right? Okay, okay, right? So it's not che in yeah, it's like a collage That's why I'm kind of quite on board of this actually because that's something I really like doing collegellage collage work.
01:20:15.20
Ross
And that's why often you get those weird jumps from one part of the fret board to the other because you're like well we do that I would normally go like Doooodooodoooooooooooooo but then it's like doodooon but looo it you know so its makes more off each. Yeah jazz Matt one. Yeah.
01:20:17.78
Stephen
Right? right? right? right.
01:20:25.26
Stephen
Right? It's just a new. What is another tool to have It's another way. Yeah, based another way of creating in it.
01:20:34.66
Ross
Exactly and it just makes it a bit less kind of like right guitars all the time It's in this key, we've got this many bars we need to go if you're in. Um, yeah, it's a bit boring as well. It's just like run and you just have your licks and the bits you do where that sounds a bit more kind of thought out and anyway hey what we empharic.
01:20:40.60
Stephen
Which could be a bit and intimidating in times. Yeah, yeah.
01:20:53.30
Stephen
I like it when things like that. Yeah, which we will get um I dislike when um I like it when people have got the ability to do you know the the moves where their fingers are on fire because they're like blister in the.
01:20:53.64
Ross
Piece of interview.
01:21:05.96
Ross
A.
01:21:09.47
Stephen
The act but but but I like it when they don't and they pull back and there's just a bit or take their time and there's pauses I relate like that. It's like Superman walking across a a pedestrian crossing he could fly but he decided not to yeah, it's it's it's it's just like that.
01:21:12.66
Ross
Um, right? Yeah yeah.
01:21:20.52
Ross
Ah, as I take advantage of other very good analogy I think well see.
01:21:27.48

Yeah, Also but what yeah, that's kind of like classic rock and roll playing that. Yeah yeah, well the song that I'll play yoursnets. This is the song that.
01:22:23.38
Stephen
Um, yeah, that's the thing a lot people have done haven't they I feel like there's a bowie track like that isn't there.
01:22:33.24
Ross
Came to mind to me immediately when I heard that was ah um.
01:22:41.73
Stephen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, um, be a put your money where your mouth is. It's off the album which is you know, um, is off standard on the shoulder of giants. Yeah, put your money where your mouth is.
01:22:44.22
Ross
Um, that yes, what is it I put your money with you.
01:22:59.24
Stephen
It's got that kind of it's it's it's similar. It just reminded me of that and that's the thing I like you know, put year put put your money where your mouth is put your money with a mouth is man you know mean without a doubt man put a fucking money. What I.
01:23:03.80
Ross
Let's put yeah put you anyway.
01:23:10.74
Ross
Um, fucking put your money where your mouth is.
01:23:18.92
Stephen
Ah, where your mouth is my yeah, get you shift it along a bit. Yeah yeah I think it just carries on throughout the whole song. But.
01:23:19.32
Ross
Are. Horrible artwork for the help isn't it stand on the shoulders A je.
01:23:41.16
Stephen
Yeah, it's not the the interesting thing about it is because it's got that scene of New York isn't it the album but there's the first single go let it out if oh I mean I got the.
01:23:52.71
Ross
Um, go and now.
01:23:57.41
Stephen
There are some. There is some amazing songs on that album but on the whole it's not yeah, but anyway, um on the single artwork they zoom in on one of the um, the the Roofs of the buildings and' because that's it nighttime isn't it The album cover. It's yeah, but this is like daytime and it's like zoomed in on one of the rooftops and it's like some kids playing football.
01:24:04.76
Ross
Um, ah yeah I dus more.
01:24:16.59
Stephen
Um, don't know why they'd be doing that in America but um, yeah, yeah, well I see yeah it is played but they look that I think there as as I remember their school uniforms look very english you right? but um but yeah, um yeah just reminded me that but though yeah, um, yeah.
01:24:17.93
Ross
Um, soccer you guys plan. Ah all right? How? Yeah yeah, like that yeah da and down. Yeah good song I say I I Think. Like a pastime is my favorite because I just like that bit when he fucking belts it out on but is it there is and it I like it because I was but my only real criticism is the songs just so so long.
01:24:40.77
Stephen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's um, there's a lot to look forward to it's live.
01:24:53.28
Ross
Um, that's also very foo fightersy thing where you just put like 3000000 chorus in a fofa song is like verset is like intro verse chorus breakdown bit and then like chorus chorus chorus course chorus course course.
01:24:53.76
Stephen
Um, would you would now would you tackle that by cutting some songs or.
01:25:01.19
Stephen
Yeah.
01:25:11.74
Ross
Every free fire stone now with the modern. Um.
01:25:12.42
Stephen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but with this album would you help would you? um edit it by taking songs out of the album or would you cut down individual tracks to create the same number of songs. So.
01:25:21.73
Ross
I just can attract that yeah you could just you could lose 2 courses per song and it would still not that you need to and it's it. You know, but I'm just that's how im it but I don't need to listen to. It's like it reminds me of like the early like that the end of the cd by an era.
01:25:26.94
Stephen
Yeah I think that's a good show. Yeah yeah, yeah, oh no, yeah, no, but yeah.
01:25:41.63
Ross
When every single album was like 18 tracks and they went on for hours because they were trying to justify you paying twenty quid for a Cd but it just full. Not that this is filler but like it was filled with crap then were the days from you.
01:25:51.90
Stephen
Yeah, yeah, Denver the days albums for 20 Yeah twenty old quid first number that's the thing this is like try before you buy now in it with the Spotify.
01:25:58.20
Ross
For a Cd You wouldn't know it was any even any good. Yeah.
01:26:05.52
Ross
