<v Speaker 1>Welcome everybody to the Surely You Can't Be Serious Podcast? Jason,
<v Speaker 1>how you doing?
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great? How you doing?
<v Speaker 1>Man? Holy crap? I think somebody just threw a beer
<v Speaker 1>bottle at me.
<v Speaker 2>You want a pizza?
<v Speaker 3>Me?
<v Speaker 4>Hello everybody, and welcome to the Surely You Can't Be
<v Speaker 4>Serious Podcast, discussing and debating the iconic and the forgotten
<v Speaker 4>of eighties and nineties pop culture with your co hosts
<v Speaker 4>James D.
<v Speaker 2>Graves and Jason Colliban.
<v Speaker 1>All right, everybody, we are back for our comparison of
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Feel Good versus skid Row. We covered Doctor Feel
<v Speaker 1>Good last week, and we are back with the debut
<v Speaker 1>album of skid Row titled skid Row. Very creative. Jason,
<v Speaker 1>you remember getting this album?
<v Speaker 2>Oh for sure. I jumped in right after Youth Gune Wild.
<v Speaker 2>I had a friend make a mixtape this for me. Actually,
<v Speaker 2>when we when we listened to the tracks like one
<v Speaker 2>by one, yeah, I can tell you the exact spot
<v Speaker 2>where I ran out of time and needed to go home,
<v Speaker 2>and so he hit the stop button, uh huh and
<v Speaker 2>handed me the tape and so like for me for
<v Speaker 2>like six months. This album was seven and a half
<v Speaker 2>songs long.
<v Speaker 1>That's hilarious.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but yeah, what about you? What do you remember
<v Speaker 2>about skid Row?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can remember slow dancing to I Remember You
<v Speaker 1>and seeing the videos, especially eighteen in Life on MTV,
<v Speaker 1>But it wasn't an album that I owned. So you
<v Speaker 1>were You're better off with seven and a half songs
<v Speaker 1>than I was at the time.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll tell you this. This was a staple in
<v Speaker 2>my car, like this was, I mean, doctor feel Good,
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey, skid Row, you know, fifty one fifty pop
<v Speaker 2>one out, put one in, listen to the whole thing.
<v Speaker 2>I'm good to go. So I saw skid Row open
<v Speaker 2>for bon Jovi in nineteen eighty nine until Oklahoma with
<v Speaker 2>my entire high school. It was the biggest single event
<v Speaker 2>to come to tell Oklahoma in nineteen eighty nine. Right,
<v Speaker 2>so they open for bon Jovi, they put on a
<v Speaker 2>great show, and the argument at school the next day
<v Speaker 2>was who is better skid Row or bon Jovi? And
<v Speaker 2>bon Jovi at the time was, I mean, a giant
<v Speaker 2>among teenage music listeners at the time.
<v Speaker 1>All right, so how about we jump in and start
<v Speaker 1>talking about the history of the band. Let's do it, Okay,
<v Speaker 1>our story begins in nineteen seventy one, when a young
<v Speaker 1>seven year old Dave Sabo says to a young seven
<v Speaker 1>year old John bon Jovi, I'm going to be a
<v Speaker 1>rock star someday. So they John bon Jovi and Dave
<v Speaker 1>the Snake Sabo make an agreement at seven years old
<v Speaker 1>that they are going to become rock stars, and they
<v Speaker 1>agree that if either one of them becomes famous before
<v Speaker 1>the other one, that that famous one will help the
<v Speaker 1>other one become famous.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so I've heard this story as well. Right, this
<v Speaker 2>is a very interesting historical piece of skid row. I
<v Speaker 2>do think it's interesting that Dave Sabo, while he didn't
<v Speaker 2>play on bon Jovi's first album, he did tour with
<v Speaker 2>them a little bit as bon Jovi to support Runaway, Right.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, before they brought Richie Sambora in, Dave was the guitarist.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah, these bands have been tied
<v Speaker 2>together since nineteen eighty four.
<v Speaker 1>So back in seventy one, whenever seven year old John
<v Speaker 1>bon Jovi and seven year old Dave Sabo are exchanging
<v Speaker 1>their promises to make each other famous. About this same time,
<v Speaker 1>the parents of a kid named Sebastian Burke are living
<v Speaker 1>in the Bahamas, and they hire a Bahama woman to
<v Speaker 1>come and babysit. They return home early to find this
<v Speaker 1>Bahama woman with two of her friends dancing around young
<v Speaker 1>Sebastian Burke's crib, speaking incantations and casting what appeared to
<v Speaker 1>be spells over the little baby.
<v Speaker 2>Wow.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah wow. He would go on to change his name,
<v Speaker 1>of course, to Sebastian Bach, because why wouldn't you if
<v Speaker 1>it was that close, name yourself after one of the
<v Speaker 1>you know, the most famous composers of all time. But
<v Speaker 1>do you know where the name Sebastian came from.
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's not Sebastian the Crab.
<v Speaker 1>No, it's not Sebastian the Crab. That was I mean,
<v Speaker 1>that was about the time this kid road the album
<v Speaker 1>came back. It wasn't that. No, So to see, the
<v Speaker 1>lead singer for The Love and Spoonful was a guy
<v Speaker 1>named John Sebastian. And as it turns out, Sebastian Bach's
<v Speaker 1>dad was a huge fan and somehow lucked into meeting
<v Speaker 1>John Sebastian at some point, and they went up to
<v Speaker 1>the top of a hill and smoked a dooby together,
<v Speaker 1>and he said, someday I'm gonna name my kid after you.
<v Speaker 1>And he held true to that promise.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, how about that? That's cool? Yeah, great story. And
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian's a cool I mean, that's a cool rock name.
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's it's a cool name.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. When Sebastian was a little bit older, about nineteen
<v Speaker 1>seventy five, he's walking with his dad down the boardwalk
<v Speaker 1>and they see something that grabs his attention as a
<v Speaker 1>little what seven six seven year old kid. It's these
<v Speaker 1>kind of scary, dark haired creatures with white faces and
<v Speaker 1>frightening visages on their face. And he says, dad, what
<v Speaker 1>is that? And his dad says, son, that's Kiss. And
<v Speaker 1>so from a very early age, Sebastian Bach becomes a
<v Speaker 1>huge Kiss fan, and unfortunately a few years later his
<v Speaker 1>parents decided to get a divorce. And it is it
<v Speaker 1>is the music of Kiss and his love for comic books,
<v Speaker 1>including Batman and the Incredible Hulk, that get him through
<v Speaker 1>that troubling time. And then a few years after their divorce,
<v Speaker 1>his dad shows back up. It's the first time and
<v Speaker 1>the last time their family will be together as one again,
<v Speaker 1>and it is to go and see a Kiss concert.
<v Speaker 1>And so they're all right in together, they're listening to
<v Speaker 1>music they're seeing all of these people around when they
<v Speaker 1>get to the concert area, who are of course dressed
<v Speaker 1>up like the demon and the cat and all of
<v Speaker 1>the others, and taking pictures with all of them. And
<v Speaker 1>when they get inside, their seats are in the nose
<v Speaker 1>plead sections, and Sebastian says, I don't even care. I'm
<v Speaker 1>just so happy that my family is together again. And
<v Speaker 1>then at this moment, after the intro show is over
<v Speaker 1>and they start doing the introduction for kiss and every
<v Speaker 1>all the lights go out, he suddenly is snatched up
<v Speaker 1>and someone is running with him, and he realizes it's
<v Speaker 1>his dad, And so at the moment that everybody's looking
<v Speaker 1>at the stage anticipating what's going to happen, his dad
<v Speaker 1>has grabbed him, jumped over the wall and runs all
<v Speaker 1>the way to the front row, puts Sebastian on his shoulders,
<v Speaker 1>and he gets to watch the entire his show from
<v Speaker 1>his dad's shoulders on the front row. And a rock
<v Speaker 1>star is born.
<v Speaker 2>That is awesome. That is such a cool story man.
<v Speaker 1>At some point, Ace freely throws a styrofoam cup that
<v Speaker 1>he drank some water or something in the into the
<v Speaker 1>crowd and Sebastian catches it and keeps it for years afterwards.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's cool. Have you ever caught anything at a
<v Speaker 2>concert like that?
<v Speaker 1>No. I can remember going to a Smashing Pumpkins concert
<v Speaker 1>and we did the same thing. Like, we had friends
<v Speaker 1>who had front row tickets, and so we kind of
<v Speaker 1>swapped back and forth with them. And when we went
<v Speaker 1>to the front row, this girl that I was with
<v Speaker 1>must have been incredibly enticing to Billy Corrigan because he
<v Speaker 1>called her up on stage.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's cool.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get something thrown to me. I guess something
<v Speaker 1>taken away.
<v Speaker 2>Oh man.
<v Speaker 1>So Sebastian had grown up with his mom saying all
<v Speaker 1>the time sang with her sisters, and he enjoyed saying
<v Speaker 1>since before he could remember any other memories. And they
<v Speaker 1>would have him stand at the table and sing and
<v Speaker 1>it was all very exciting. And then one day he
<v Speaker 1>was singing and one of his buddies is like, hey,
<v Speaker 1>you should come join the choir with me. He's like,
<v Speaker 1>uh okay, why, he goes, well, number one, because if
<v Speaker 1>I bring you, they give me extra money. And number two,
<v Speaker 1>they will pay you to come sing in the choir.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>She's like, pay to sing? Yeah, sure, I'll do that, right,
<v Speaker 1>So he goes to the audition for the choir master
<v Speaker 1>who's out there paying its choir, and he's like, all right, Sebastian,
<v Speaker 1>let's work up up the piano scale. Let's see what
<v Speaker 1>your range is. And basically he just kept going up
<v Speaker 1>and up, and Sebastian kept matching every single note until
<v Speaker 1>he reached the end of the piano.
<v Speaker 2>I remember this part in the book. And Sebastian said
<v Speaker 2>to the instructor, well, did I make the choir? And
<v Speaker 2>the instructor said, Sebastian, you are the choir. Sebastian has
<v Speaker 2>such a talent that it was instantly recognized by his
<v Speaker 2>music teacher.
<v Speaker 1>Right, there is no question about this guy's vocal abilities,
<v Speaker 1>all right. So third component of our band is a
<v Speaker 1>gentleman named Rachel Bolan. So Rachel's not his real name.
<v Speaker 1>His real name is James Richard Southworth, but he changed
<v Speaker 1>his name. Rachel is a combination of his brother's name
<v Speaker 1>Richard and his grandfather's name Manuel. I don't really know
<v Speaker 1>how you get Rachel out of that, but okay, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Bolan is after the t Rex lead singer Mark Bolan. Okay, cool, Okay.
<v Speaker 2>Gidro formed in nineteen eighty six and Tom's River, New Jersey,
<v Speaker 2>when guitarist Dave Sabo met bassist Rachel Bolan at the
<v Speaker 2>local guitar store that Dave Saba was working at.
<v Speaker 1>Dave Sabo is working in a guitar store, right, and
<v Speaker 1>Rachel Bolan walks in with a pink leather coat and
<v Speaker 1>a red beret and and Dave Sabo says, I will
<v Speaker 1>never forget that moment. He looked like a freaking star.
<v Speaker 1>I just had to strike up a conversation and it
<v Speaker 1>worked out very well. They realized, hey, we need to
<v Speaker 1>get together, and so they started getting together. They started
<v Speaker 1>writing stuff together. They came from different backgrounds. Sabo had
<v Speaker 1>more Judas Priests and Iron Maiden influences, while Rachel's roots
<v Speaker 1>were in the Ramones, but they also had a common
<v Speaker 1>love for Van Halen.
<v Speaker 2>And kiss nice, okay cool.
<v Speaker 1>Dave Sabo and Rachel bowl and get together the writing
<v Speaker 1>music together. Rachel says, hey, I got another guy who
<v Speaker 1>can play guitar with us. His name is Scottie Hill.
<v Speaker 1>And then they say, oh yeah, and we've got this
<v Speaker 1>other guy who will be a perfect drummer. And then
<v Speaker 1>Dave says, no, I think that guy just sent a
<v Speaker 1>jail for stabbing somebody. Oh okay, well, then maybe we
<v Speaker 1>should go with Rabbi Fuso, who who was in a
<v Speaker 1>Rush tribute band. Now we're talking about a drummer in
<v Speaker 1>a Rush tribute band, right. I can't tell you the
<v Speaker 1>quality of the band, but if you're covering Rush songs
<v Speaker 1>as a drummer, you must be good. I mean you,
<v Speaker 1>you just have to be because Neil Pert it was
<v Speaker 1>like the godfather of all drumming. And to this day,
<v Speaker 1>Rabbifuso is the one guy who's still friends with all
<v Speaker 1>of the members of the band, but he's also said
<v Speaker 1>I will not play with skid Row again unless Sebastian
<v Speaker 1>Bach is the one singing with us.
<v Speaker 2>Okay. I wanted to touch just a little bit on.
<v Speaker 2>There's a band called Kid Wicked who was traveling throughout
<v Speaker 2>Canada and they ended up in Petersborough where they met
<v Speaker 2>a thirteen year old boy named Sebastian Bach. They were
<v Speaker 2>looking for a lead singer, and even though he was
<v Speaker 2>only thirteen years old and surrounded by twenty to thirty
<v Speaker 2>year olds, he laid out this rock and roll scream
<v Speaker 2>that they heard and said that kid, that's the one.
<v Speaker 2>We need him to be our lead singer. And they're like,
<v Speaker 2>he's thirteen years old. I don't care. He needs to
<v Speaker 2>be our lead singer. So his father would not let
<v Speaker 2>him go run around with his band, but he did
<v Speaker 2>agree to let Sebastian go live in Toronto with an
<v Speaker 2>aunt so that he could join the band and tour
<v Speaker 2>with the band.
<v Speaker 1>I get the impression that Sebastian's dad was a pretty
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool guy. Maybe a little too cool, but a
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool guy. He was an art teacher and you know,
<v Speaker 1>a full on sixties hippie, but he was an interesting cat. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So the original singer, obviously for skid Row is not
<v Speaker 1>Sebastian bot Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I really found this interesting because this guy named Matt
<v Speaker 2>Fallon was their original lead singer. He toured with skid
<v Speaker 2>Row while opening for bon Jovi on the Slippery When
<v Speaker 2>Wet tour. It's not like this guy can't sing or
<v Speaker 2>didn't have any chops at all. There's demos out there
<v Speaker 2>of him singing these beloved skid Row songs. We'll touch
<v Speaker 2>on that here in just a little bit.
<v Speaker 1>J Matt Fallen is the lead singer of the band
<v Speaker 1>they're feeling. Skid Row is feeling like they're pretty tight
<v Speaker 1>at this point, and at this point bon Jovi is famous.
<v Speaker 1>So once you know, I mean, John had said, you know,
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I have not forgotten my promise at seven
<v Speaker 1>years old. I will stick to it. You guys just
<v Speaker 1>got to be tight before I'm gonna make him pitch,
<v Speaker 1>because I don't want it to fail. And they had
<v Speaker 1>gotten pretty tight with Matt Fallen, and so at that point,
<v Speaker 1>bon Jovi is having a little backyard barbecue and one
<v Speaker 1>of the attendees is his manager, a guy named Doc McGhee,
<v Speaker 1>who you might have heard of, and if you haven't,
<v Speaker 1>then I'll just tell you. He was the manager of
<v Speaker 1>like every major metal band in the eighties. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>we're talking what we get. We had, Skidro, Motley Crue,
<v Speaker 1>bon Jovi. I think he was managing Ozzie. I think
<v Speaker 1>he was managing the Scorpions he's got. You've heard of
<v Speaker 1>the Moscow Music Piece Festival. That was him, And albeit
<v Speaker 1>it was because he was in trouble with drugs and
<v Speaker 1>probably put this concert on as a way to help
<v Speaker 1>him get out of that trouble, but that that be
<v Speaker 1>that as it may he was a big hitter at
<v Speaker 1>the moment, right, he definitely was. And so Jon bon
<v Speaker 1>Jovi invites Dave Stabo to come over to his house
<v Speaker 1>for this backyard barbecue with Doc McGee, and so as
<v Speaker 1>soon as he gets him alone, Dave Sabo just starts
<v Speaker 1>giving him his whole pitch of how they're going to
<v Speaker 1>be a great band and they're going to take over
<v Speaker 1>the world and all of these songs that they got
<v Speaker 1>and they can't wait, and everybody's so driven in all
<v Speaker 1>of this, and he gives him the probably ten minute
<v Speaker 1>long spiel, at the end of which Doc McGee says,
<v Speaker 1>all right, you want to go get me a beer
<v Speaker 1>or something. But it worked out well. Skid Row starts
<v Speaker 1>opening up for bon Jovi, but Doc McGee says, you
<v Speaker 1>know what, your lead singer is not as driven as
<v Speaker 1>the rest of you guys. You need to get rid
<v Speaker 1>of him.
<v Speaker 2>Yep.
<v Speaker 1>And so that's I mean, geez, that's huge. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>you're right there, you think, and it's all about to happen,
<v Speaker 1>and they say get rid of your front man. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>it's not like, you know, change out the bassists. This
<v Speaker 1>is the guy singing all the songs and this is
<v Speaker 1>the face of the band at the moment, right.
<v Speaker 2>Right, and it's and they're touring with bon Jovi. They're
<v Speaker 2>on the Slibrity when we concert tour.
<v Speaker 1>They they followed Doc McGee's advice. They got rid of
<v Speaker 1>Matt Fallon. They started auditioning other people and they couldn't
<v Speaker 1>find anybody. So they're auditioning singer after singer after singer,
<v Speaker 1>and they can't find anybody that they think is the
<v Speaker 1>right fit for the band until they get a call
<v Speaker 1>from John bon Jovi's parents. They had been to the
<v Speaker 1>wedding of a photographer named Mark Weiss, who there's a
<v Speaker 1>fantastic podcast out there done by Frank Hannon. He's recently
<v Speaker 1>done interview with Mark Wise. He's a photographer for all
<v Speaker 1>of the major bands that you and I love from
<v Speaker 1>the seventies and eighties, all the metal bands, but be
<v Speaker 1>Thatt as May. At some point he got married. John
<v Speaker 1>bon Jovi's parents went to the wedding, and in addition
<v Speaker 1>to them, a few other folks that you might have
<v Speaker 1>heard of, Zach Wilde, Kevin Dubrow of Quiet Riot, several
<v Speaker 1>of the members of Twisted Sister. All of these guys
<v Speaker 1>are there because hey, he's a heavy metal photographer, right,
<v Speaker 1>And they happen to have a wedding singer there who
<v Speaker 1>is blowing everybody's mind, a young guy named Sebastian Bach.
<v Speaker 2>Wow, they heard Sebastian at a wedding, the wedding singer.
<v Speaker 2>He's the wedding singer, of course, yes.
<v Speaker 1>So they call up they call up the guys and
<v Speaker 1>they're like, hey, we think we got a guy who
<v Speaker 1>might be perfect for you. But he's only nineteen years old. What, okay, whatever, Yeah, okay,
<v Speaker 1>if he's that good, No, he's that good. So they
<v Speaker 1>pool their money. I mean they've they've got nothing, they've
<v Speaker 1>gotten no record contract, they've got nothing, right, they pooled
<v Speaker 1>their money together and they fly this guy out. So,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just imagine this, all right, this is an
<v Speaker 1>unfamous nobody knows these guys. They're sitting in Dave Sabo's
<v Speaker 1>kitchen and they're just waiting because they're just anticipating with
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're just in a New Jersey little house,
<v Speaker 1>right right, right, and so they sent Scott Hill to
<v Speaker 1>go pick him up from the airport. They're all just
<v Speaker 1>waiting to see what's gonna happen there with them is
<v Speaker 1>Dave's mom, who they all affectionately referred to as Missus
<v Speaker 1>Snake is Snake, and they're just like, oh, this is
<v Speaker 1>We just want this to work. We just want this
<v Speaker 1>to work. And so in walks this guy who's so tall,
<v Speaker 1>he's got a duck under the doorway. As he walks
<v Speaker 1>in and in his Canadian accent with you know these
<v Speaker 1>beautiful high cheek bones, says, dudes, I've got a ten
<v Speaker 1>inch What a fantastic intro. How pet about the way
<v Speaker 1>the rest of that band's career was going to go? Right?
<v Speaker 1>So when they first had him sing, he literally he
<v Speaker 1>sang so high that they had to like go, okay, dude,
<v Speaker 1>that's just too high. I mean, you're gonna have to
<v Speaker 1>rein it back in a little bit. But once they did,
<v Speaker 1>it was like, uh, he's he's got the perfect voice.
<v Speaker 1>And then somebody else was like, yeah, but he's obnoxious
<v Speaker 1>and loud, and they said, yeah, but he's a front man, right,
<v Speaker 1>that's what that's the way they're supposed to be. So
<v Speaker 1>they decide, all right, that's what we'll do. And that
<v Speaker 1>night they went to a bar, they get they start
<v Speaker 1>drinking together. They know this is going to be a thing.
<v Speaker 1>They even sang eighteen in life that first night in
<v Speaker 1>some dive bar stage. Wow, terrible, But Rachel Bowen announces
<v Speaker 1>from the stage, this is our new lead singer. And
<v Speaker 1>then Sebastian Bach gets completely blitzed and almost gets in
<v Speaker 1>a fight, but he's so drunk he misses his punch
<v Speaker 1>by about a foot falls over to the floor. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>By the way, that obnoxious and loud thing will only
<v Speaker 2>get magnified with fame and riches.
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, So, after they've got their lineup and they present
<v Speaker 1>themselves to bon Jovi, they sign with Richie Sambora and
<v Speaker 1>John bon Jovi's publishing company called Underground. But they don't
<v Speaker 1>realize at the time that they're all also giving up
<v Speaker 1>most of the royalties they get, which I mean that's
<v Speaker 1>all that a band has whenever they're making music, is
<v Speaker 1>the royalties. Not only do they not get the money
<v Speaker 1>that like their record producers are going to make, they
<v Speaker 1>give most of what they would be making over to
<v Speaker 1>John bon Jovi and Richie sambor As I understood it,
<v Speaker 1>Richie sambor ended up giving a lot of it back
<v Speaker 1>to him, but John bon Jovi, probably because of his
<v Speaker 1>relationship with Sebastian Bach said, f you, I'm keeping the money.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that's right. There's some interesting things that
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian said about John bon Jovi from the stage. I
<v Speaker 2>believe he called him John go blow me or something
<v Speaker 2>like that.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. So they spend a year fine tuning
<v Speaker 1>their act. I mentioned this last time. At the point
<v Speaker 1>that Sebastian Bach joined the band, he was with VO
<v Speaker 1>five and they were opening for Motley Crue during the Girls,
<v Speaker 1>Girls Girls tour.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that's right, that's right.
<v Speaker 1>He had told Nikki six, I'm going to be a
<v Speaker 1>rock star. And I don't know if you remember it,
<v Speaker 1>but about five years ago I kicked the door open
<v Speaker 1>so that we could get in.
<v Speaker 2>Hey, there's one story that I wanted to tell that
<v Speaker 2>we kind of blew past. When they were first recruiting
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian Bach to come play for the band, one of
<v Speaker 2>the things that they did was they sent him a
<v Speaker 2>tape of their songs, most of the songs on this album.
<v Speaker 2>So they had this album kind of ready. They had
<v Speaker 2>been playing it live, they had been touring with bon Jovi.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they had these songs. These are great rock songs.
<v Speaker 2>Still needed a singer to put it over the top,
<v Speaker 2>but they sent the tape to him and when Sebastian listened,
<v Speaker 2>but the one song that stuck out to him was
<v Speaker 2>a song called Youth Gun Wild, and Sebastian's like, you
<v Speaker 2>know what, that's a song that I can do something with.
<v Speaker 2>He said, that was the song that made me join
<v Speaker 2>the band, which is so appropriate because it's such a
<v Speaker 2>great rock anthem. It's their first single, it's what put
<v Speaker 2>him on the map. But that's the song that recruited
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian to the band.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah. So Rachel Bolin and Dave Sabo wrote almost
<v Speaker 1>all of the songs on this debut album. They end
<v Speaker 1>up hooking up with a guy to produce the album
<v Speaker 1>named Michael Wagner. He's worked with Motley Crue, with Great White,
<v Speaker 1>with Striper Poison, Alice Cooper, Extreme Mega Death, and the
<v Speaker 1>one that he produced right before this album was Saigon
<v Speaker 1>Kick by Sigon Kick. And I owned that album and
<v Speaker 1>I probably haven't thought about that band for that album
<v Speaker 1>in about thirty five years. I was just like, what,
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, I didn't.
<v Speaker 2>Even that song. Love is on the Way has got
<v Speaker 2>album right.
<v Speaker 1>That's why I bought the tape.
<v Speaker 2>You ready to dive into the track listing?
<v Speaker 1>D Yeah, I'm ready. Let's jump into the album.
<v Speaker 2>Let's go.
<v Speaker 1>The first song on the album.
<v Speaker 3>Is Big gun.
<v Speaker 1>Man. When he comes in with those lyrics, you're listening
<v Speaker 1>to this album for the first time and you're just like,
<v Speaker 1>holy crap, and he's not even done anything awesome yet.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah. Vocally, the first two songs on the album,
<v Speaker 2>he stays pretty just straight line rock voice. So this song,
<v Speaker 2>this song comes on strong, right. It's a good leadoff
<v Speaker 2>track for the album. Good rocker. Big Guns Blowing Me Away.
<v Speaker 2>This is clearly about breasts Christ's rest.
<v Speaker 1>It is.
<v Speaker 2>She's got big guns pointed at my heart. Uh huh,
<v Speaker 2>bang bang shoot me like a firing squad, big guns.
<v Speaker 2>She blew me away and I went down in flames.
<v Speaker 1>Well, but see she was she was just a ballerina
<v Speaker 1>on a subway train, stiletto hills in a candy cane.
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm wondering if maybe this was a lady of
<v Speaker 1>the night, as they like to say, hot on the
<v Speaker 1>tail of a social call. There's only really one thing
<v Speaker 1>that could possibly mean. So there were you like.
<v Speaker 2>Is a battle and love is war? Yeah, there's a
<v Speaker 2>part in this song where he says, I'm doing time
<v Speaker 2>as a backseat Romeo play solitaire with my hands in
<v Speaker 2>the air another night and no bullets to spare. That's
<v Speaker 2>my favorite part of the whole song right there.
<v Speaker 1>And what do you think that means, Jason?
<v Speaker 2>I think she's got big guns and they're pointed out
<v Speaker 2>your heart.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not at the moment that he's playing solitaire, though.
<v Speaker 2>When I went to the concert in nineteen eighty nine
<v Speaker 2>when they opened for bon Jovi, this was on the
<v Speaker 2>concert t shirts, right it said it had a girl
<v Speaker 2>and a big like a six shooter, and it said
<v Speaker 2>big guns.
<v Speaker 1>So this one, I mean, it's a great song. It's
<v Speaker 1>a good album beginning song, a good pumping song that
<v Speaker 1>had better ones on the album. Why do you think
<v Speaker 1>they started with this one?
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I like it. It has a lot
<v Speaker 2>of energy. It starts off with attitude. You know, it's
<v Speaker 2>a good he wrote song. This was the song that
<v Speaker 2>they closed their set list with during that bon Jovi
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey tour.
<v Speaker 1>So this is the only song on the album that
<v Speaker 1>lists Scottie Hill, Rachel Bowl and Dave Sabo and Rob
<v Speaker 1>Afuso on it. Most of them are just by Bolin
<v Speaker 1>or Bolin and Sabo. This is the only one that
<v Speaker 1>has all of the members of the band except for
<v Speaker 1>Sebastian Mott.
<v Speaker 2>I like this one.
<v Speaker 1>This is a good one.
<v Speaker 2>Thumbs up.
<v Speaker 1>It's mid range for me. Okay, I'll give it a
<v Speaker 1>so so all right, sounds good? All right. Next one
<v Speaker 1>is Sweet Little Sister.
<v Speaker 2>I think this is the first song that on the
<v Speaker 2>album that Sebastian starts to demonstrate his talent. Vocals are
<v Speaker 2>strong on this one. He's he's rolling fast through a
<v Speaker 2>lot of stuff.
<v Speaker 1>When he sings that alligator and he pulls out the gator. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>you're getting a taste of what's to come.
<v Speaker 2>He's rolling that. I don't know what they call it,
<v Speaker 2>vibrato or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh.
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Here's something that I know is when I looked
<v Speaker 2>at the lyrics on this song, right first line, the
<v Speaker 2>opening line this song, she blew my mind behind the
<v Speaker 2>record machine. She was a bit of trouble called a
<v Speaker 2>subway queen right right. So I don't know why that
<v Speaker 2>stands out of my brain, but just that term record
<v Speaker 2>machine that makes me immediately think of the song Jump
<v Speaker 2>by Van Halen.
<v Speaker 1>Totally yeah. I mean, where else do you hear?
<v Speaker 3>That?
<v Speaker 1>Got my back against the record machine.
<v Speaker 2>And these guys had already admitted that they were big
<v Speaker 2>Van Halen fans.
<v Speaker 1>Right. It was one of two bands that Rachel Bowlin
<v Speaker 1>and Dave Sabo both liked, which Kiss and Van Halen.
<v Speaker 1>I bet it is, I bet, I bet it is
<v Speaker 1>a sideways glance to jump.
<v Speaker 2>Sweet Okay, cool, I can dig that. I like this
<v Speaker 2>song too. I'm two for two. These are great solid
<v Speaker 2>eighties hair metal rockers.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is a good I mean it's a good
<v Speaker 1>pumping one. I like this one a little bit better
<v Speaker 1>than the first one. I really like that you're starting
<v Speaker 1>to hear his vibrado as he's singing out alligator yep.
<v Speaker 2>Still nothing super fancy yet vocally, but hang on because it's.
<v Speaker 1>Coming tight lipped now, but she sinks ships later.
<v Speaker 2>I love that part in the song when he's saying
<v Speaker 2>that I love it okay. So that brings us to
<v Speaker 2>song number three, a song called Can't Stand the Heartache.
<v Speaker 3>Okay.
<v Speaker 2>I love this song. I think this could have been
<v Speaker 2>a hit. I've always loved the vocals on this song.
<v Speaker 2>He starts to really show off his talent this song
<v Speaker 2>got airplay on my local radio station.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is They're doing a nice build. This is
<v Speaker 1>better than the first two songs. They just keep getting better.
<v Speaker 1>And that chorus that they come in with that harmony
<v Speaker 1>that they do perfect. Then they explode with the guitars.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's fantastic.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is a great song, man, I really enjoy
<v Speaker 2>this song. I want to point out something on this song. Okay,
<v Speaker 2>so I've mentioned that I think the vocals are awesome,
<v Speaker 2>but there's a part in the song during the chorus
<v Speaker 2>where he says, can't stand the heartache, so bleeds the
<v Speaker 2>red red rose time heals a broken heart. But that's
<v Speaker 2>just the way it goes, Okay, yep, So throughout the
<v Speaker 2>song at the beginning, the way he says goes is
<v Speaker 2>sort of low level. Then the next time through the
<v Speaker 2>chorus it's like medium, and then third time through it's
<v Speaker 2>like hi, he starts, he hits that goes really hard,
<v Speaker 2>and then the last time he hits it's a it's
<v Speaker 2>like gows. It's it's really great and I can't imitate it,
<v Speaker 2>but let's play it right here. I just think it's
<v Speaker 2>really cool. I just think that that one note is
<v Speaker 2>awesome with his voice.
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic build, and the chorus of this is such a hook.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the melody that they've got on the chorus
<v Speaker 1>on this song totally makes the song. It is fantastic,
<v Speaker 1>one of the best on the album.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, great pop metal right here? All right. The next
<v Speaker 2>song on the album after Can't Stand the Heartache, This
<v Speaker 2>song is called Piece of Me.
<v Speaker 1>Nice bassline. It's almost a heavy metal version of the
<v Speaker 1>Mission Impossible theme.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, okay, cool, all right, d This song is
<v Speaker 2>about getting into a fight, is it? I think? So?
<v Speaker 1>You got your heels? Are you looking pretty?
<v Speaker 2>This is the song that Sebastian was singing when he
<v Speaker 2>got hit in the head with that stray object in
<v Speaker 2>that concert they're opening for Aerosmith.
<v Speaker 1>Are we talking about the infamous beer bottle incident? Yes? Yes,
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah. Do we want to tell that story now?
<v Speaker 2>Might as well? Yeah, sure, during the Piece of Me
<v Speaker 2>part of that set.
<v Speaker 1>Right. Well, first, let's talk about the song. So the
<v Speaker 1>song I love it, I just I love it. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>You've got kind of a common thread on the meaning
<v Speaker 1>and all of these songs. It's really pretty much about
<v Speaker 1>hooking up with these dirty, nasty girls and and that's
<v Speaker 1>that's great. It's all about rock and roll, and what's
<v Speaker 1>rock and roll about? But getting the girls. But I
<v Speaker 1>just love I love the bassline that Nana Nana man
<v Speaker 1>man o, man o mano, and then you break off
<v Speaker 1>and you get piece of Me. I love the break
<v Speaker 1>I love the dynamics of this one. It's it's really
<v Speaker 1>really solid and it's a really short song. I mean
<v Speaker 1>this song is like less than three minutes long. It's
<v Speaker 1>a super quick song, but theyve it's tight. It's a good, tight,
<v Speaker 1>driven rock song. I really enjoy the video. You talk
<v Speaker 1>about the video real quick.
<v Speaker 2>Sure.
<v Speaker 1>So the video is is a mix of concert footage
<v Speaker 1>of the band, mostly close ups of their faces singing
<v Speaker 1>or maybe uh, you know, a picture of Rachel Bolan's
<v Speaker 1>button his tight white jeans while he's playing that bassline.
<v Speaker 1>But it's intermixed with this the these cops arresting all
<v Speaker 1>of these people who appear to be concertgoers.
<v Speaker 2>I did read an article that Sebastian talking about how
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't get credit for this song. But Rachel Bolan
<v Speaker 2>was messing around with the bassline, and Sebastian's like, yeah, man,
<v Speaker 2>that's really good, and just like you like this one,
<v Speaker 2>and it was the bomboom boom boom bom boom boom
<v Speaker 2>boom boom, and that's what started the build of the song,
<v Speaker 2>and through Sebastian's encouragement, basically they built that song on
<v Speaker 2>that baseline. According to Sebastian, Right.
<v Speaker 1>So you see guys getting thrown against the ground, you
<v Speaker 1>see girls getting thrown against the police cars. They're not
<v Speaker 1>discriminatory on how they abuse the people who are getting rested.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sure right, how dare you go to a concert?
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna bust your button?
<v Speaker 1>And so interestingly that this video would be about getting
<v Speaker 1>arrested because December twenty seventh, nineteen eighty nine, they are
<v Speaker 1>performing this song in Springfield, Massachusetts, and suddenly Sebastian Bach
<v Speaker 1>feels something to graze his head and then sees this
<v Speaker 1>red substance coming down over his eyes. She's like, why
<v Speaker 1>would somebody throw a can of tomato juice at me?
<v Speaker 1>As it turned out it was a beer bottle and
<v Speaker 1>that was blood coming down into his face. And once
<v Speaker 1>he realized that, he looked out in the crowd and
<v Speaker 1>started screaming who did that? Who threw that? And some
<v Speaker 1>guy was giving him the California Howdy with both hands,
<v Speaker 1>and he was like, he was like, I'm coming after
<v Speaker 1>you want a piece of me? And that's like, I mean,
<v Speaker 1>of course that's the song that they're playing. But before
<v Speaker 1>he dives in to start wailing on this dude, he
<v Speaker 1>decides to throw the beer bottle back, which was a horrible.
<v Speaker 2>Decision, yeah, because he's not a major league pitcher, So
<v Speaker 2>he misses his target and it just to hit a
<v Speaker 2>girl right in the face.
<v Speaker 1>A fourteen year old girl. Yeah, and she ends up
<v Speaker 1>getting one hundred and twenty five stitches in her face.
<v Speaker 1>And just from the scuffle. I don't think anybody actually
<v Speaker 1>knew what had happened to the girl at the time,
<v Speaker 1>you know, other than the people she was associated with.
<v Speaker 1>But just because of the fight that broke out, Doc
<v Speaker 1>McGee was getting him out of there quick, getting him
<v Speaker 1>on the road quick. But before they could get out
<v Speaker 1>of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts PD pulled over the van, took
<v Speaker 1>Sebastian back out and said you're going to jail, buddy.
<v Speaker 2>Yep, it's really Sebastian continued to make poor decisions. He
<v Speaker 2>was kind of his own worst enemy. I mean, he's
<v Speaker 2>definitely his own worst enemy throughout his entire time with
<v Speaker 2>his band. This decision was the worst of the bunch.
<v Speaker 1>Well, there's a T shirt incident that was pretty close.
<v Speaker 2>That was second worst. This was a first horse.
<v Speaker 1>I guess no one was physically injured with a T
<v Speaker 1>shirt incident, but yes, it's I mean, the guy. The
<v Speaker 1>guy is an amazing physical specimen. He looks there's a
<v Speaker 1>picture him on the cover of the book that you
<v Speaker 1>gave me that has him with you know, he's it's
<v Speaker 1>him from the eighties and he's got his arms up
<v Speaker 1>in the air and no shirt on, and he's kind of,
<v Speaker 1>you know, showing off the physique a little bit. Caleb
<v Speaker 1>was like, dude, Dad, why do you why do you
<v Speaker 1>have that book? That's gross? And I was like, it's
<v Speaker 1>just it's just the singer of the eighteen in line
<v Speaker 1>or no, it's just the singer of I Remember You.
<v Speaker 1>And he goes, a girl sang that song and no, dude,
<v Speaker 1>that's not a girl. He's like, well, but that's a girl.
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, no, that's not a girl. Oh man, he goes,
<v Speaker 1>that's a guy. That's even more gross, dad, But yeah, he,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, one of the most outstanding voices in all
<v Speaker 1>of rock history, amazing facial structure, amazing physical stature and build,
<v Speaker 1>and I mean, how do you how do you screw
<v Speaker 1>all that up?
<v Speaker 2>He screwed it all up. And you're exactly right. He's
<v Speaker 2>everything you look for in a lead front man. Amazing voice,
<v Speaker 2>great looking, dude, young, he fits the attitude of the band.
<v Speaker 2>He's he's the perfect fit, except he makes stupid decisions
<v Speaker 2>and he's obnoxious, and he's he just rubs everybody around
<v Speaker 2>him the wrong way.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he is very, very impulsive, very impulsive.
<v Speaker 2>In his defense, yeah, he is twenty one.
<v Speaker 1>Years old, right, Yeah, yeah, that's true.
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't have that kind of power, influence, money
<v Speaker 2>at twenty one, and thank goodness I didn't.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, I certainly made plenty of stupid decisions
<v Speaker 1>without having all the drugs, women and money that I
<v Speaker 1>could ever want. Right Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>So Piece of Me is their fourth single off the album.
<v Speaker 2>It's their fourth and final single. This was released. I
<v Speaker 2>couldn't really find a date on this, but in my
<v Speaker 2>memory it's February of nineteen nineties, kind of early nineteen nineties,
<v Speaker 2>the last single. Have you ever heard the Axel Rose
<v Speaker 2>version of this song? No, but yeah, so Axel Rose
<v Speaker 2>actually sings the version of this song. It's pretty cool
<v Speaker 2>that hear Axel sing a skid Row song. I don't know. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>this was a big hit on MTV like Headbanger's Ball
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was a big hit. Cool, Yes, all right,
<v Speaker 2>we're moving on to one of the big hitters.
<v Speaker 1>Sure. Yeah, So we've had a study build. I'd put
<v Speaker 1>Piece of Me right there with Can't Stand the Heart
<v Speaker 1>egch both solid, just keeps getting better, keeps getting better
<v Speaker 1>as the A side plays on.
<v Speaker 2>Are ramping up. The next song on the album is
<v Speaker 2>eighteen in Life.
<v Speaker 1>We've got a different beginning here. This is slow and
<v Speaker 1>sweet and mysterious and dark. We're not talking about hooking
<v Speaker 1>up with girls, and we're not talking about getting in fights.
<v Speaker 1>Oh listen to that voice Stone, Oh there they go
<v Speaker 1>big hitting now.
<v Speaker 2>This is a beautiful rock song, a beautiful rock song.
<v Speaker 1>It's got an awesome mix of the ballad and the
<v Speaker 1>rock pumping in your face too for the intro to
<v Speaker 1>the chorus, and then you've got a really you get
<v Speaker 1>some deep lyrics here. And this isn't Ricky is based
<v Speaker 1>up on a story that Dave Sabo had read that
<v Speaker 1>actually involved a kid who shot his friend didn't realize
<v Speaker 1>you said, he didn't know the gun was loaded and
<v Speaker 1>killed his friend and got life in prison. And of
<v Speaker 1>course the video on this has got these you know,
<v Speaker 1>disenfranchised youth spray painting and tearing up the lapidated buildings
<v Speaker 1>and then they're shooting the shooting bottles with the gun.
<v Speaker 1>It's just heartbreaking.
<v Speaker 2>Yep. Okay, So this reached number four on the Hot
<v Speaker 2>one hundred. This was their second single release June sixteenth,
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty nine. This is their biggest hit. But there's
<v Speaker 2>two parts in the song that really set it apart
<v Speaker 2>from everything else. Okay, So there's a part in the
<v Speaker 2>song as that it builds towards the guitar solo, and
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian sings that child blew a child away.
<v Speaker 1>Most moving line on the whole album.
<v Speaker 2>His voice to the guitar solo. It's so sad and powerful.
<v Speaker 2>It's just chilling. I love it. The second part of
<v Speaker 2>the song that blows me away are his straight up
<v Speaker 2>screams at the end of the song. This is Sebastian
<v Speaker 2>really demonstrating his talent and how that sets him apart
<v Speaker 2>from everybody else. Yeah, when you compare that line to
<v Speaker 2>Matt Fallon's line.
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, we may have some people listening who are
<v Speaker 1>still skid Row fans now, but I gotta say, from
<v Speaker 1>my perspective, skid Row without Sebastian Bach is not skid Row.
<v Speaker 2>No. No, here's the thing. Here's the thing. I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>defend the band. Okay, there's a lot of people say
<v Speaker 2>they're trash without Sebastian. Well, they they wrote these great
<v Speaker 2>rock songs, so they deserve credit for that. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>you know, Dave Sabo and Rachel Bollen wrote eighteen in Life.
<v Speaker 2>That's a great rock song, but Sebastian is what took
<v Speaker 2>them over the top. And I wish they could put
<v Speaker 2>their differences aside and reform the loved lineup of skid
<v Speaker 2>Row to perform these songs again. I had this poster, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>So I had this one of these really cool record
<v Speaker 2>stores in town, and they would give away like these
<v Speaker 2>old posters that they didn't want anymore. So I have
<v Speaker 2>upstairs of my attic right now a humongous picture of
<v Speaker 2>the eighteen in Life single as a poster.
<v Speaker 1>Nice.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, here's something I thought was interesting. In April of
<v Speaker 2>twenty fifteen, they had a new singer named Tony Harnell.
<v Speaker 2>They re recorded eighteen in Life and re released it
<v Speaker 2>as a free download on the band's website. Okay, this
<v Speaker 2>is the only studio recording they had with him on vocals,
<v Speaker 2>and it was a it was a it was a
<v Speaker 2>good effort. Okay, But nobody has Sebastian's voice right, and
<v Speaker 2>it's not his fault. It's just the reality of life.
<v Speaker 2>Only Sebastian can sing this song. Eighteen in Life was
<v Speaker 2>named the sixtieth Best Hard Rock Song of All Time
<v Speaker 2>by v H one and was certified gold on September
<v Speaker 2>thirteenth and nineteen eighty nine. Love this song. It's iconic eighties.
<v Speaker 2>The vocals blow me away every single time.
<v Speaker 1>Yep, we are peaking on side one.
<v Speaker 2>All right, you're done with eighteen in Life. Yeah, moving
<v Speaker 2>on to Rattle Snake Shake.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Wait a minute, wait a minute, we already covered
<v Speaker 1>this song. Oh no, so the bold they both sang
<v Speaker 1>the same song. No, no, they didn't, different song, same title,
<v Speaker 1>even though they came out at almost exactly the same time.
<v Speaker 2>This had to have been somebody mentioned to somebody that Hey,
<v Speaker 2>I'm working on this song called Rattlesnake Shake. Oh, that's
<v Speaker 2>kind of a cool title, and they all kind of
<v Speaker 2>went off and ran with it, and this is what
<v Speaker 2>they came up with.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's got a good intro line and it seems
<v Speaker 1>like it's gonna have hope and I can totally see
<v Speaker 1>strippers playing this song for themselves. But this is the
<v Speaker 1>low point on the album for me. I mean, we had,
<v Speaker 1>we had pretty good, even better, really good, really good
<v Speaker 1>blow in my mind and total disappointment. Rattlesnake Shake. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>what are your thoughts?
<v Speaker 2>No, I like this one. I mean, you know, I'm
<v Speaker 2>trying not to gush on every song on this album.
<v Speaker 2>I like every song. The problem with this song is
<v Speaker 2>it falls between eighteen in Life and Youth Gone Wild
<v Speaker 2>and it is a step down and it does get
<v Speaker 2>a little hokey when he's like, I've got a friend
<v Speaker 2>I want to introduce you to. Right that, I mean
<v Speaker 2>he steps into poison level lyrics right there. Okay, Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I like it.
<v Speaker 1>Though I like it, I think even this had been
<v Speaker 1>in between Big Guns and Sweet Little Sister, I would
<v Speaker 1>still think it was the low point in the album.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, I'm not gonna argue with you. I'm
<v Speaker 2>not fast forwarding this song. This is not a skipper
<v Speaker 2>to me. I still like it. It does get a
<v Speaker 2>little hokey for me.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I'd be flipping the tape over and hitting rewind.
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's almost time to do that. I like this
<v Speaker 2>the lyric. I don't know why this lyric cracks me up,
<v Speaker 2>but he says tricky Little Vicky walks along South Street.
<v Speaker 2>She learned her French from the boys that she'd meet.
<v Speaker 2>I gotta laugh when I hear them say she's a
<v Speaker 2>sweet little cheese when the cat's away.
<v Speaker 1>Sweet little cheese, Sweet.
<v Speaker 2>Little cheese when the cat's away.
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what that means.
<v Speaker 2>I don't either.
<v Speaker 1>All Right, we ready to move on.
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're lost in search of passion, but Prince Charming
<v Speaker 2>ain't in fashion. So yeah, stop your tape, kick it out,
<v Speaker 2>flip it over.
<v Speaker 1>It rewinds. Since she didn't listen to all.
<v Speaker 2>Of starting off side too, we have you've gone wild?
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, and they've redeemed themselves with that first. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>This is a great song.
<v Speaker 2>This is a rock anthem. This is like welcome to
<v Speaker 2>the juggle.
<v Speaker 1>Mean it is. It's You've got the disenfranchised youth who
<v Speaker 1>are finding their song to let their let their pain speak.
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're we're tired of your crap. We're gonna
<v Speaker 1>go be ourselves. That that's what the song is all about.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so this is what I like about this song.
<v Speaker 3>Right.
<v Speaker 2>This is a grab you by the shirt, shake you around,
<v Speaker 2>and say we are the youth gone wild. Right, and
<v Speaker 2>you've got that street gang like backing vocals, like where
<v Speaker 2>they're shouting. It's a group of them saying we are
<v Speaker 2>the youth gone wild. And then you match that with
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian's killer vocals. Again, I love it. It's a fist
<v Speaker 2>pumper at the highest degree.
<v Speaker 1>You're you're in the crowd and you're pumping your fist
<v Speaker 1>and you're singing along with in almost a chant.
<v Speaker 2>Yes. And we talked earlier about this is the song
<v Speaker 2>that made Sebastian decided to join skid Row. When he
<v Speaker 2>was reading the lyrics and kind of learning the tape
<v Speaker 2>that they had sent to him, he talked about how
<v Speaker 2>the first line, since I was born, they couldn't hold
<v Speaker 2>me down. Another misfit kid, another burned out town. He
<v Speaker 2>said he felt like that that was speaking into his life.
<v Speaker 2>So He really identified with those lyrics we are the
<v Speaker 2>Youth Gone Wild. He even talks about how he was
<v Speaker 2>the first believer in this song. He got a tattoo
<v Speaker 2>that said Youth Gone Wild before they had a manager,
<v Speaker 2>before they had a record deal, before they had anything.
<v Speaker 1>This has the Motley Crue Live Wire feel to me,
<v Speaker 1>where you're in the crowd, you're pumping your fist, you're
<v Speaker 1>singing along, You're like in the chant fully invested, good,
<v Speaker 1>good music on this one.
<v Speaker 2>So Sebastian said that I remember playing Youth with the guys,
<v Speaker 2>and when we got to the middle part where we
<v Speaker 2>do the chorus with just the drums and the vocals,
<v Speaker 2>I sang the entire thing in one breath and they
<v Speaker 2>all were blown away. They couldn't believe it.
<v Speaker 1>Very cool, good thing. He's so humble.
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian loves him some Sebastian like, I said, okay, so well,
<v Speaker 2>they were working on this song. They were discussing how
<v Speaker 2>good the song was, what they thought of it, what
<v Speaker 2>they thought of the other songs. He said, hey, man,
<v Speaker 2>do you think we'll ever go gold? Could you just
<v Speaker 2>imagine that? And Dave Saba was like, I don't know, man,
<v Speaker 2>that'd be crazy and once that album came out, he said,
<v Speaker 2>it took about two weeks for them to go gold. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it's a great song, it is. It's an anchor song
<v Speaker 2>for the album. So this is the song that put
<v Speaker 2>him on the map. They they, I mean, they blasted
<v Speaker 2>out of nowhere in January of eighty nine. I've got
<v Speaker 2>a great quote here. It says this song, accompanied with
<v Speaker 2>a vide announced the band as rock's newest bad boys.
<v Speaker 2>The CD underside of the poppy, winger Warrant style hard
<v Speaker 2>rock that had started to dominate the musical landscape. This
<v Speaker 2>is more guns n' Roses than Poison Warrant, bon JOONI even.
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely, I mean skid Row, even with this album,
<v Speaker 1>which is probably the poppiest of the albums that they had,
<v Speaker 1>is much more edgy than the most popular metal groups
<v Speaker 1>of the day. I mean even Motley, I think even
<v Speaker 1>the Crew, They're more edgy in this particular moment. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>this is kind of the end. I mean, they became
<v Speaker 1>kind of the poster child for hair metal at the
<v Speaker 1>time that hair metal was about to go out of style.
<v Speaker 2>Some people have said that skid Row had unbelievably good
<v Speaker 2>timing or unbelievably poor timing, but they hit that last
<v Speaker 2>peak of hair metal before it died.
<v Speaker 1>Yep.
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian kind of compares this song to Ozzy Osbourne's Paranoid
<v Speaker 2>and Van Halen's Running with the Devil. It's their rock anthem.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, humility all over the place, all right. Were ready
<v Speaker 1>to move on?
<v Speaker 2>Yep, ready to move on?
<v Speaker 1>Next song on the album Here I Am. The song
<v Speaker 1>starts off so well, the guitar is really awesome, and
<v Speaker 1>then something happens about twenty seconds in. I can't just
<v Speaker 1>tell you what it is. Maybe it's Sebastian Bach telling
<v Speaker 1>me how tall he is. I don't know what it is,
<v Speaker 1>but I just get like, oh, okay, okay.
<v Speaker 2>It does get into those once again. They drift toward
<v Speaker 2>the poison goofy lyrics. It's not the same grit you've
<v Speaker 2>gone wild eighteen in live raw, amazing song.
<v Speaker 1>It's just yeah, they've got a good melody to the chorus.
<v Speaker 1>It's just I don't know what it is. I can't
<v Speaker 1>I cannot put my finger on what it is about
<v Speaker 1>this song that makes me just not want to listen
<v Speaker 1>to it.
<v Speaker 2>I like it. It's not a skipper, but you get
<v Speaker 2>lyrics for me, I better see a doctor because I
<v Speaker 2>think I'm getting hooked on you. Right, that's a bad
<v Speaker 2>pickup line.
<v Speaker 1>It's a terrible pickup.
<v Speaker 2>Right.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>How about this one here, I am close your eyes
<v Speaker 2>and I'll be Superman. Just because the guitar is great
<v Speaker 2>and Sebastian's voice is great, the lyrics are hokey, right, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I like it. It's not a skipper, like I said.
<v Speaker 2>This is the song where my buddy was making a
<v Speaker 2>dub tape for me and I had to go home
<v Speaker 2>because you know, I was late for supper or whatever.
<v Speaker 2>Right stop on the tape. It was in the middle
<v Speaker 2>of the guitar solo on this song. So all right,
<v Speaker 2>are we done with here?
<v Speaker 1>I am very very done with it. I would be
<v Speaker 1>fast forwarding still at this moment. So I'm just glad
<v Speaker 1>that all of these songs are pretty short.
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So that brings us to a song called making
<v Speaker 2>a Mess.
<v Speaker 1>Good bet to this one. Good guitar riff, great voice,
<v Speaker 1>fast again.
<v Speaker 2>All right, I've got a little tidbit on this song.
<v Speaker 1>So this is this is the only song on the
<v Speaker 1>album that Sebastian bar gets writing credit on. It's him
<v Speaker 1>and Rachel and Dave.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, interesting, interesting, what you got? Okay. A couple of
<v Speaker 2>summers ago, Sebastian put out a notice on social media
<v Speaker 2>and he said, listen, any members of skid Row that
<v Speaker 2>want to come and join me on stage, you're invited.
<v Speaker 2>Let's get together. I don't think anybody's going to accept Dave, Rachel, Scottie, Rob.
<v Speaker 2>If you want to come and participate and come join
<v Speaker 2>me on stage and we can do some old skid
<v Speaker 2>Row stuff, that would be awesome, just let me know.
<v Speaker 2>Open invitation. He got one acceptance from Rob Alfuso and
<v Speaker 2>he came and performed Making a Mess with Sebastian on
<v Speaker 2>September twenty fifth, twenty nineteen. I think that's cool. Good
<v Speaker 2>for him. I mean, I really I'm not involved in
<v Speaker 2>the daily lives of these guys, but it just seems
<v Speaker 2>crazy that they could not put their differences aside to
<v Speaker 2>even talk. I mean, they had so much success together,
<v Speaker 2>it just never really makes any sense to me. So
<v Speaker 2>interesting lyrics, the Lianguay says he lit up a smoke
<v Speaker 2>and did some talking with the back of his hand. Right.
<v Speaker 2>He says that in the song Yeah, during the concert,
<v Speaker 2>he would always go up to some person on the
<v Speaker 2>front row and and fain like he was smacking them.
<v Speaker 1>Classy yep. Then somebody threw a beer bottle at him.
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's why they threw the beer bottle. I don't
<v Speaker 2>have anything more. I just want to get onto I Remember.
<v Speaker 3>You, dude.
<v Speaker 1>I've been waiting the entire sticking album to get to
<v Speaker 1>this song. Okay, the entire stinking album. Let's make it happen.
<v Speaker 1>Tenth song on the album, I Remember You. So we
<v Speaker 1>got a twelve string guitar, simple melody, two chords. Oh,
<v Speaker 1>listen to their voice. Okay, so this is their ballad.
<v Speaker 1>That's cool.
<v Speaker 2>Crab it come man.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, but of course they come in full throttle and
<v Speaker 1>the dynamics are there.
<v Speaker 3>Man.
<v Speaker 1>Back again to just the twelve string, A little bit
<v Speaker 1>of drum in the back. I love it, love this
<v Speaker 1>song so much.
<v Speaker 2>This is an amazing, amazing ballad. One of the best
<v Speaker 2>of all time.
<v Speaker 1>I would. I could make an argument that this was
<v Speaker 1>this is the best rock ballad of the eighties. I could.
<v Speaker 1>The argument could be made. His falsetto his vibrato, his range,
<v Speaker 1>Holy crap.
<v Speaker 2>It's sweet, it's passionate, it's lovely. I mean it's beautiful.
<v Speaker 1>Love letters in the sand. I don't even know what
<v Speaker 1>that means, and I still like tearing up.
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's it's so good man. And this is the
<v Speaker 2>third sing released November eighteenth, of eighty nine. This was
<v Speaker 2>the prom Song of the Year nominated by USA Today
<v Speaker 2>for nineteen ninety. It was the prom Song of nineteen
<v Speaker 2>ninety reach number six in the Hot one hundred. Here's
<v Speaker 2>the funny story. I love this story. This was almost
<v Speaker 2>not good enough for Rachel Bull and Dave Sabo. They
<v Speaker 2>wrote this song, but they thought it was too wimpy, right,
<v Speaker 2>So they were playing it and Sebastian's like, guys, this
<v Speaker 2>is a great song, and they're like, eh, it's you know,
<v Speaker 2>it's just a song, but we don't really think it's
<v Speaker 2>good enough for our album. We're rock, you know, this
<v Speaker 2>is too weeny stuff. And Sebastian's like, guys, I think
<v Speaker 2>we need to put this on the album. They're like no, no.
<v Speaker 2>So Doc McGee came to the studio one day and
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian's like, Doc, you gotta hear the song. You gotta
<v Speaker 2>hear the song, guys, we gotta play this song for Doc.
<v Speaker 2>And Doc's like, all right, I'm listening. And so they
<v Speaker 2>play it for him and Doc is laughing the whole time,
<v Speaker 2>and so they don't know, is he laughing at us?
<v Speaker 2>Is he laughing because it sucks? We don't really know.
<v Speaker 2>And so they're like at the end they finished and
<v Speaker 2>they're like, so, Doc, what's the deal? Why are you laughing?
<v Speaker 2>He's like, ha ha, that's going on the album. This
<v Speaker 2>song is covered by Carrie Underwood. Have you heard her
<v Speaker 2>do it?
<v Speaker 1>Yes? I have, And I got to say she did
<v Speaker 1>a good job with it. I mean, it takes some
<v Speaker 1>Braska Jones to tackle a song like this, even if
<v Speaker 1>you are Carrie Underwood, but she she did a great
<v Speaker 1>job with it. It's it's not Celine Dion and ac DC.
<v Speaker 2>It's that is true. Selene Dion's attempted a CDC bad,
<v Speaker 2>Carrie Underwood's attempt at skid Row good. Yeah, goes all
<v Speaker 2>the way, she goes, balls to the wall and she
<v Speaker 2>she's still not Sebastian Bach, but she gets close.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The only thing, honestly, the only thing I don't
<v Speaker 1>like about the video is that it's it's somebody out
<v Speaker 1>at the concert that's recording what's going on? And then
<v Speaker 1>right before it gets really good, they suddenly stop recording
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, wella, we don't get the rest what happened?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there is.
<v Speaker 1>There's also a great YouTube video out there of I
<v Speaker 1>don't remember what this girl's name is, but it's basically
<v Speaker 1>like vocal coach listens to whatever and people recommend, hey,
<v Speaker 1>you should go listen to this particular band. And she
<v Speaker 1>had never seen nor heard skid Row do this. She's
<v Speaker 1>from the UK, not that you know, skid Row is
<v Speaker 1>unknown there, but she she didn't know. And so this
<v Speaker 1>day what she listens to is a live performance of
<v Speaker 1>this one where he's going all over the place and
<v Speaker 1>he's building up the crowd and talking and I mean,
<v Speaker 1>of course, our first impression is like, oh, well he's
<v Speaker 1>quite the physical specimen, isn't he? But yeah, and then
<v Speaker 1>he's of course, once he starts singing, she's sure her
<v Speaker 1>mind is just blown. But my gosh, this song just
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this song had to be sung by him.
<v Speaker 1>Who else? Who else is going to sing this song?
<v Speaker 2>I've got another cool story about this song. Do you
<v Speaker 2>know who Nora Jones is?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>In an issue of Rolling Stone magazine, they asked Nora
<v Speaker 2>Jones what song was it that made you want to
<v Speaker 2>be a rock star? And she said I Remember You
<v Speaker 2>by skid Row.
<v Speaker 3>Wow.
<v Speaker 2>She tells a story that she had a crush on
<v Speaker 2>this guy in high school and he was kind of
<v Speaker 2>a metal head and she made him a mixtape that
<v Speaker 2>began with I Remember You, right do you? I mean,
<v Speaker 2>I remember the days of making mixtapes as way of
<v Speaker 2>here are My Feelings for You songs one through ten yep,
<v Speaker 2>for sure, And it wasn't really her deal. She couldn't
<v Speaker 2>really get into it, but she could do I Remember You,
<v Speaker 2>and that's the one that spoke to our heart and
<v Speaker 2>that's the one that made her want to be a singer.
<v Speaker 1>All right, I hate to do it, but we got
<v Speaker 1>to listen to the end of the song. We got
<v Speaker 1>to listen to what he does where he absolutely kills
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the song. Here it is, everybody go,
<v Speaker 1>absolutely freaking amazing.
<v Speaker 2>I could listen to this song a thousand times and
<v Speaker 2>give me chills every time.
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely yeah. I you know, I hadn't listened to the
<v Speaker 1>song in probably years when we decided to do this,
<v Speaker 1>and I can still remember putting it, putting on the
<v Speaker 1>headphones and started my run and when this thing came on,
<v Speaker 1>I like stopped and I just let the hair on
<v Speaker 1>my arm stand up. Is so good.
<v Speaker 2>The vocals on this song is great. I think there's
<v Speaker 2>a part in the song that it's not the big
<v Speaker 2>crowd pleaser, but he said, it's the part where he says,
<v Speaker 2>and I swear you'll never be lonely, and he drags
<v Speaker 2>out that voice that note, he drags out that note. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>it's not a high one, but it's just it's just
<v Speaker 2>a real satisfying.
<v Speaker 1>And it's right. It goes right into that lead, that
<v Speaker 1>guitar lead, which, by the way, is another fantastic part
<v Speaker 1>of the song. I mean, there are there are some
<v Speaker 1>songs out there that you know the guitar lead note
<v Speaker 1>by note as you're listening to it, Like if somebody said,
<v Speaker 1>do the guitar lead for I Remember You could you
<v Speaker 1>could probably sing it out because it's such a well
<v Speaker 1>put together lead. And this is one of those songs.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you were talking about those reaction videos. Yeah, I
<v Speaker 2>saw one where a dad was showing it to his daughter,
<v Speaker 2>who news aston Bach only as the old guy in
<v Speaker 2>Gilmore Girls. Right, So he plays I Remember You the
<v Speaker 2>video for her and she watches it, and you could
<v Speaker 2>just see her eyeballs about pop out of her head.
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, I didn't know this guy had pipes
<v Speaker 2>like that. Huh she was, She was amazed.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's awesome. Gilmore Girls Guilty Pleasure.
<v Speaker 2>I gotta say, Gilmore Girls is a funny, clever, well written.
<v Speaker 2>It's a great show man. It's a great show and if.
<v Speaker 3>You like.
<v Speaker 2>If you like our stuff, you'll like their stuff. Yeah, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>are we done with I Remember You?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?
<v Speaker 2>All right, couples move out to the center of the eyes.
<v Speaker 2>All right. Last song on the album. It's called Midnight Tornado.
<v Speaker 1>I almost feel like they said, we can't finish with
<v Speaker 1>a ballad. We got to put something in there that
<v Speaker 1>kicks butt at the end, something that's tough and rough.
<v Speaker 1>And I want to go back and listen to I
<v Speaker 1>Remember You.
<v Speaker 2>I like this song. I like all the songs on
<v Speaker 2>the album. This one got skipped more than anything else,
<v Speaker 2>just because I was ready to get back to the beginning.
<v Speaker 2>Big Guns. I like it. It's good. He has a
<v Speaker 2>unbelievably great rock scream in the middle of this song.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah, but this is almost to
<v Speaker 1>me just an add on.
<v Speaker 2>Well it's it's on par with like Big Guns and
<v Speaker 2>Sweet Little Sister, solid rocker, nothing spectacular other than that whale.
<v Speaker 2>It's it's just a good song. I like it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, they do just kind of throw back to
<v Speaker 1>the when I'm feeling wicked and my blood is running hot.
<v Speaker 2>All right, I got one little tidbit on this song.
<v Speaker 2>I had to dig deep for this one. You're ready
<v Speaker 2>for this?
<v Speaker 1>I bet yes? Go ahead, okay.
<v Speaker 2>On October twentieth, twenty nineteen, Sebastian Bach had a show
<v Speaker 2>in Dallas that had to be canceled due to a
<v Speaker 2>midnight tornado.
<v Speaker 1>There is no joke, an actual tornado.
<v Speaker 2>An actual tornado that was going to interrupt the show
<v Speaker 2>near midnight. Oh my bam. That is something you won't
<v Speaker 2>hear on any other podcast.
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty good. That's good. That's a nice touch, a
<v Speaker 1>good way to finish off the album.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a good song. It's not the best song
<v Speaker 2>on the album by any stretch, but I like it.
<v Speaker 1>So what's interesting is that while they're touring, right, so
<v Speaker 1>they go on tour with bon Jovi and Aersmith while
<v Speaker 1>this album is building, and even as they're opening for
<v Speaker 1>bon Jovi on their nights off, they would go and
<v Speaker 1>play clubs. I think that's pretty fantastic. Yeah, So they
<v Speaker 1>would play for you know, seventy two thousand people in
<v Speaker 1>Giant Stadium, and then they'd go play for twenty people
<v Speaker 1>at Sam's Bar or whatever. This album peaked at number
<v Speaker 1>six on the Billboard two hundred and certified five times platinum.
<v Speaker 2>This was recorded in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Producer was Michael Wagner.
<v Speaker 2>As we said, I think they Sebastian talks about how
<v Speaker 2>they sent him up there to record the album, probably
<v Speaker 2>to keep them out of trouble.
<v Speaker 1>Is it time now to move to final judgment?
<v Speaker 2>It's time to move to final judgment.
<v Speaker 1>Two fantastic albums, Doctor feel Good and skid Row Jason.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I know I say this every time. We don't
<v Speaker 2>pick losers, we pick favorites. These were two absolute favorites.
<v Speaker 2>I carried them everywhere. I listened to them all the time.
<v Speaker 2>Here's where I'm coming down. Doctor feel Good is Motley
<v Speaker 2>Crue's best album. The songs there on that album unforgettable,
<v Speaker 2>Doctor feel Good, Fantastic, Kickstart my Heart, same Old Situation,
<v Speaker 2>Don't Go Away Mad. It does have some junk songs
<v Speaker 2>on There She Goes Down, not the best Time for Change,
<v Speaker 2>not the best overall, though it's my favorite Motley Crue album.
<v Speaker 2>Skid Row with the benefit once again of having their
<v Speaker 2>debut album, You've got your entire life to come up
<v Speaker 2>with ten great songs. Doctor Feel Good it's their fifth
<v Speaker 2>or sixth studio album, so they get a little break there.
<v Speaker 2>But the skid Row debut album pound for pound better
<v Speaker 2>than Doctor Feel Good in my opinion. You have fantastic
<v Speaker 2>rock anthem Youth Gone Wild. You have mind blowing song
<v Speaker 2>eighteen in Life. You have maybe the greatest power ballad
<v Speaker 2>song of all time, all led by Sebastian's amazing vocals.
<v Speaker 2>You've got ten great rock songs. Skid Row better album,
<v Speaker 2>Motley Crue, better catalog, more fun. I'd rather go see
<v Speaker 2>them in concert, But album to album, I'm picking skid Row.
<v Speaker 1>I've said it before and I'll say it again. That's
<v Speaker 1>your opinion. It's just that your opinion is wrong. When
<v Speaker 1>we decided to compare these two, I totally thought that
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna go with skid Row because Sebastian Bach's
<v Speaker 1>voice is amazing. It is unquestionably better than Vince Neil's voice.
<v Speaker 1>Vince Neil has a decent rock voice at best. He
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have a mind blowingly like I can go sing
<v Speaker 1>on Broadway and I can scream out rock songs. He
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't have that kind of voice that Sebastian Bach does.
<v Speaker 1>And so I thought, yeah, okay, so the skid row
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a sure win. But I'm gonna
<v Speaker 1>have to I'm just gonna have to go ahead and
<v Speaker 1>disagree with you on this track listing thing. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>if we look at the track listing, I'm not even
<v Speaker 1>gonna I disagree with you. I don't think there's any
<v Speaker 1>skipper on Doctor feel Good at all, but I'll just
<v Speaker 1>throw out some of some of the best ones. All right,
<v Speaker 1>You've got Doctor feel Good, You've got Kickstart my Heart.
<v Speaker 1>Holy crap, what an incredible song you've got. Without you,
<v Speaker 1>you've got same old situation, You've got Don't go away, Mad,
<v Speaker 1>just go away. The only song on here that I
<v Speaker 1>think is even close to a skipper is Time for
<v Speaker 1>a Change. And that's like, you know you're done with
<v Speaker 1>the album at that point. The whole album is good songs.
<v Speaker 1>But even if you throw away the ones that you
<v Speaker 1>might think are Skippers, You've still got one, two, three, four,
<v Speaker 1>five killer songs on Doctor Feel Good. With skid Row,
<v Speaker 1>you've got some decent songs with three four really great songs.
<v Speaker 1>You've got eighteen in life, You've gone wild, I remember
<v Speaker 1>you totally amazing, no question about it, and can't stand
<v Speaker 1>the heartache. Those are the best ones on the album,
<v Speaker 1>and the rest of them I could skip. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>Sweetless Little Sisters, okay, but it's not one that's going
<v Speaker 1>to fall into my rotation. But Doctor feel Good and
<v Speaker 1>I had to ask, I'm like, why why is it?
<v Speaker 1>Because they're both very very similar sounds, right, You've got
<v Speaker 1>hard hitting guitars, you've got speedy leads on them. But
<v Speaker 1>there's just something that's almost undefinable about Doctor Feel Good.
<v Speaker 1>And I'm going to do my best to try to
<v Speaker 1>to find it, even though I just said it was undefinable.
<v Speaker 1>I think for Doctor Feel Good, Motley Cruze finally went
<v Speaker 1>back and started pulling from the blues roots a little
<v Speaker 1>bit more, and it was more rock than metal, and
<v Speaker 1>they had more variation and better melodies and even I
<v Speaker 1>and maybe it's just you know, Nicky six coming off
<v Speaker 1>dying twice as the inspiration for this album. I got
<v Speaker 1>to say there's more heart, more love, of more rock,
<v Speaker 1>and more awesomeness in Doctor Feel Good, and it to
<v Speaker 1>me is the clear winner. All Right, well, I'm not
<v Speaker 1>even a Motley Crue fan. You're the Moley Krue fan.
<v Speaker 2>I am the Molly Krue fan. I love both of
<v Speaker 2>these guys. I mean yeah, like I said, Motley Crue
<v Speaker 2>catalog way out way of skid Row. But I'm taking
<v Speaker 2>this one in a slight edge over Doctor field Good.
<v Speaker 2>We want to hear from you guys, where do you
<v Speaker 2>come down? Am I crazy? Taking the rookies out of
<v Speaker 2>the gate against the goliath that Motley Crue was maybe
<v Speaker 2>the most iconic rock band in the nineteen eighties? Are
<v Speaker 2>you with d Are you with Me? Where do you Fall?
<v Speaker 2>Doctor feel Good? Or skid Row?
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Next week we have a special edition of the
<v Speaker 1>Surely You Can't Be Serious Podcast. We got to hang
<v Speaker 1>out for a little while with a couple of guys
<v Speaker 1>who have made a new movie that we really really like,
<v Speaker 1>and we hope that you guys will too. It'll be

<v Speaker 1>they were able to put together a movie for only
<v Speaker 1>two thousand dollars and it's a great one, so tune
<v Speaker 1>in for that one. We will be with the Nuevo
<v Speaker 1>Brothers discussing their movie Canners.

<v Speaker 2>Really in the video.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's got a twelve string, but it's only a
<v Speaker 1>goot eleven of the strings. One of the strings is missing.
<v Speaker 2>Wow.
