RIFF060 - Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters

Episode description

In this episode, Chris and Neil bravely tackle the Foo Fighters’ debut—after a brief existential debate on the meaning of “all the important information.” The conversation meanders through Dave Grohl’s divine ascension, the British tradition of turning on beloved celebrities, and whether being in a band is more like a relationship or just a convenient way to keep busy. Expect insightful tangents on the cyclical nature of “coolness,” a forensic look at how many “bangers” one band can string together, and the usual refusal to stick to the actual topic. No stone is left unturned, unless it’s a stone that leads back to Liam Gallagher, in which case, it gets a whole sidebar.

we're here hello hello hello what's your name chris what's your name i'm neil

0:27

this is ruthology we're doing about the food fighters first album all the all the important

0:31

information that's it done just go um i remember i think um i think this album's really interesting

0:40

yes thank you it's a great story behind it fascinating i love the arc yeah of um like

0:48

dave growl ascending into being a god yeah do you know what i mean and then just being like people

0:54

praising him yeah and then and then the internet turning on him and like oh recently yeah yeah

0:59

i don't like him anymore yeah yeah i just think it's this thing isn't it where you know we idolize

1:04

these people yeah but it's like we just want to rip them apart really you know it's it's it's i just

1:11

think it's bizarre it's absolutely bonkers but it's just they came from all let's say they came from

1:15

nowhere but they you know this album so the original food fighters record no one no one knew it was

1:21

coming no one expected it um did really well it was a bit weird it's got some it's got it's like

1:28

it's it's not what you expect no no but great um and then launched them into the stratosphere

1:34

and then each album just got bigger and bigger and bigger until they uh like do you remember that

1:40

series of shows that they did where dave growl had his broken leg yes yeah yeah and um they would

1:46

quite often get like people out on stage and to be they'll get like uh local like kid guitarists out

1:51

to play on on on stage and stuff and the videos for that would get like 10 million views huge huge huge

1:58

huge yeah yeah but it is it was that it was well you know about the point where they brought out the

2:03

pretender wasn't it that was like oh that was what a band i mean you're absolutely huge humongous you

2:08

just no missteps were there it was just like banger after banger after banger and they were all

2:14

throughout that period they were just cool yeah there was nothing like nirvana were cool yes you

2:20

know there was like some yeah because there's always an ebb and flow with that isn't there there's bands

2:24

that are cool for a bit and then not so cool for a bit i think it's like whether you're fashionable

2:28

isn't it yeah you know i mean like oasis have been through this yes where oh there's a point in time

2:32

where you you wouldn't you wouldn't talk about them there's never a point that oasis were not cool

2:36

yeah they're always but fashionable yes yeah yeah maybe they're not not they're not fashionable

2:42

anymore but um but they were you know like liam's always cool yeah yeah do you know what i mean he's

2:48

always like he's all and i think um yeah that there was this but they just never seem to go out of

2:53

fashion foo fighters they just seem to be um they're just in no doing their thing but they work hard

3:00

they're a hard-working band you know when you look at their back catalog and they're obviously they're

3:03

obviously constantly at it you know touring and writing and uh recording and you know that this is

3:11

obviously this is quite literally their full-time job isn't it this is what they do well it certainly

3:15

was for it for a long time i always compare it to getting into a relationship where long distance

3:20

relationships are always really difficult when you live in the same city it's easy and when you get

3:26

along with the people it's you know it makes a lot easier feeling comfortable with the rest of the band

3:32

helps a lot so i don't really feel like it's just me in the front i feel more like there's the four of us

3:40

and then the end of the stage and then the audience so the difference between the record and the band

3:45

is such a great difference that now when i listen to the album i feel like there's something missing

3:50

you know so i actually prefer listening to live performances than than the album and um

3:59

i'm just looking forward to the next record more than looking back on the last one there was an ep i

4:06

think called was it pocket watch oh right okay um uh that got released and it was just some demos that

4:12

he did yeah just record some of these songs off this first half no before that no yeah it's 92 okay

4:18

but it's really interesting i heard uh an interview with him essentially idolizing yeah um

4:26

the the songs in nirvana like the the songwriting so the the songs that kurt cobain had written in nirvana

4:35

but it's difficult because when you're in a band with someone like um like kurt he's such a great songwriter

4:42

that you don't want to like you don't want to pollute anything you're like okay well everything's

4:47

it's going really well you know no one knew you could play all these instruments and stuff and you

4:51

obviously you're a really talented musician so you know how much of that did you bring in nirvana

4:56

how much of those songs were yours in nirvana see what you mean yeah and he was just like i didn't

4:59

touch them no no no that's just kurt's that's good yeah that's kurt's thing and they were perfect

5:03

yeah yeah they did not touch them at all so he would then go into the studio and get his like some

5:07

of his creative kicks if you like from doing his doing his own stuff um

5:11

but there's a lovely bit where uh somebody asked him these the songs for this album the debut

5:17

were they recorded like before um you know kurt's death and he said yeah they're you know some of

5:23

these i'd i'd got for for a while and some of them came after but some of them were a while it's in the

5:28

songs yeah the songs yeah and and they were saying what did you what did kurt make of them i said i

5:32

would never share them yeah and it was this thing where he didn't share them with any

5:38

anyone and he was almost uh i thought embarrassed me i don't know there was just something where he

5:44

was like i'm not you know it's one of those though isn't it where you're you know you're with that you're

5:48

in the band with the guy that wrote smells like teen spirit yeah you know all these absolute standards

5:55

of of of song of song craft in in in that kind of grunge world you're probably not gonna no

6:01

you know like i can't hold a candle to that you know after losing a member of your band you don't

6:08

ever want to play music again but that will change you know and you'll soon realize that

6:16

that i mean music is the only thing that i really really really really love to do and so you know

6:23

for a few months i stopped and then i just started feeling like i gotta keep on i have to do more i

6:30

have to do more so that was it i just think he's crazy though that that whole that whole thing where

6:35

he's he's got these things he doesn't think anyone's gonna notice or anyone's gonna care

6:40

records them or and all the tracks on here are recorded pretty much by dave crowl yes

6:47

dave he did all the instruments and then there was a producer and then i think the guy from ecstatic

6:53

that's it did did a bit of guitar and actually there's a song is there a song called ecstatic on

6:57

it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so there's a there's a little bit so he did additional so it's greg duly

7:02

who did additional guitar and ecstatic um you can see that is that this and it's a kind of cathartic

7:09

process yeah yeah to go through the creation of this this particular record um but i i don't know

7:16

i just love the fact that he just went off into a studio for and i think it's like 10 days or

7:22

something it wasn't a huge amount of time and just like bashed them all out yeah and then he gave tapes

7:28

away yeah and then it was just gonna do like 100 tapes yeah there's a hundred cassettes it's

7:33

called it foo fights because he wanted it to be like a band yeah not not a solo didn't want it to

7:37

sound like there weren't anyone to guess it was him yeah yeah and because he was embarrassed that

7:41

people was always the drummer from i just hate the word solo it's so gross you know like if i wanted to

7:47

be a solo artist then i would have called myself you know like david snake pit or just like lenny

7:56

kravitz or something you know i mean that's that's when he decides like he wants to be like solo like it's

8:02

just me you know and i don't want to do that and yeah and then and then the record label started to

8:09

hang on a minute you know this is all right can we yeah yeah yeah can we talk about it um i i like you

8:15

know we did the um definitely maybe from the oasis definitely maybe it's that one of those improbable

8:21

stories yeah you know if you were if you were writing the movie script right and you did it and you

8:26

pitched the movie script you'd get a what what really it's not very believable is it you know and it feels a bit

8:31

like that you know being in this huge band and the lead singer dies and then yeah you know and

8:37

actually the drummer turns out to be like dead talented but has had nothing to do with the

8:42

writing of the songs no exactly yeah yeah yeah there was sort of no there was no precursor to it was

8:47

it at all no it's i it's that's the bit that i think is like this is this improbable thing where

8:52

you ended up clearly somebody that like immense songwriting talent in a massive band with amazing songs

8:59

but didn't have anything to do with those yeah yeah that's not it's so improbable yeah yeah i mean

9:05

you know the way we function is really not that different than any garage band that lives in your

9:11

neighborhood we're we're normal people we're friends and we get together and we write songs on our own

9:18

we're just kids right playing music we do it for the same reason we did we were doing it back then

9:24

and i think that you know when you when you go through that kind of stuff like johnny went to college

9:30

and this guy quit because his parents were mormon and didn't want him in the band anymore and we like

9:38

a band like us we went through the same thing uh but we had to do the whole thing we had to do it in

9:42

public in front of everybody i was the fifth drummer in nirvana they had a lot of drummers they were

9:47

from aberdeen washington and so but they're they're early drummers one of their early they're the people

9:53

that were in the in nirvana before i joined were just bananas they were all just crazy like the first

9:58

one of them drove a truck through like a supermarket window once with the mayor's daughter in the truck

10:05

you know and this other guy the first time i met their first drummer we were at a laundromat and he

10:11

comes in and he goes hey man and he hands me some quarters and he goes i'm gonna get in this dryer put

10:14

those quarters in once you close the door okay so he gets in this dryer and i put the quarters in

10:19

and that was that's what you gotta do to be in nirvana you know but it was the it so it was the kind of thing

10:30

where the where the label were then interested so he had to form it he had to form a band he had to

10:35

to kind of make make a band but sunny day real estate yeah had recently called it a day and split

10:41

up so a couple of those guys obviously kind of jumped in and you know they i think they were all friends

10:46

and they were hanging out and that sort of thing happened you get the feeling that's kind of how

10:50

dave rolls yes yeah yeah who's around yeah yeah it's just like oh yeah you'll do you know i mean and

10:56

then and then you come and jam for a bit and if you get on you know what i mean and if if if you get on

11:00

then oh yeah you're in or if you're not you're not yeah yeah you do get the feeling it's just

11:05

a bunch of mates hanging about yeah play music you know it's there's that what was the documentary um

11:11

it was great yeah there was sound city but there was also there was not is it sonic highways was

11:16

another one and i think there was yeah there was a couple but there was one which was almost like

11:20

the story of the formation and the development of the band and no it was sonic highways i think

11:25

i think you know and they were there's a barbecue where so they're having this barbecue and they're

11:29

still writing the record yeah yeah and um his daughters are all around him going oh come on

11:34

come on come and play the god because i've got to finish these and he was writing the lyrics in his

11:40

kitchen yeah yeah for the album and you kind of thought oh well you know obviously he's got tons

11:46

of experience and then he can do that but then reading about this album that's pretty much how this

11:51

one was done as well there's like studio notes and stuff saying that he was writing

11:54

the lyrics yeah like in the vocal booth yeah yeah yeah it's kind of in there uh but it's laid down

12:02

most of the the tracks and then he would go and do some of the vocals and be like you know and then

12:07

he'd get his little pen out and he'd be writing the lyrics in in the vocal i don't really think that

12:11

it matters when songs were written if you think about it just because um because when trying to

12:18

write every song differently than the last um you try not to have like period like a phase i'm not i'm

12:26

going through this heavy phase man i can't get out of it you know i'm going through this acoustic phase you

12:31

try to like you try to split everything up and mix it up i yeah to be fair though i i'm a bit like

12:38

that are you yeah like there'll be some songs when you sing it you realize it's not quite right yes yeah

12:43

yeah there's this there was some that that was definitely a like a star from ivy thing but that

12:47

was definitely loads of the lyrics like we'd be performing them live yeah and there wouldn't be

12:52

any words they were like gobbledygook sounds and what the what i thought the word phrasing should be

12:56

and then suddenly there was a song that we got called the forever sun yeah and and probably for

13:01

a year or a couple of years it had no lyrics it was just it was just like kind of gobbledygook books

13:08

the odd phrase the odd word coming in yeah yeah and then it wasn't until the day before we actually

13:13

recorded the vocals i wrote the thing and with me and dameron they're still this hotel in sheffield

13:17

somewhere and and the word like i've got to probably write these words now because because we're

13:22

recording it tomorrow but i can see i can see that and i can definitely i can definitely because

13:26

with songwriting for me personally like the lyrics are the last things to come right quite a lot if

13:34

i'm writing a song but whereas there might be a line there might be the odd thing but in terms of like

13:38

the formation of the of the piece yeah you know quite often for me i know some people are different but

13:43

the music comes first so i'd imagine that was what what it was here was a collection of riffs a collection

13:47

of beats yeah and then how do you phrase this and put them together and then putting the lyrics and

13:51

yeah it's it's funny isn't it there was did you i don't know whether it was oh i don't know whether

13:57

this was pre or post aussie's death right but it was zach wilde talking about working with aussie

14:03

yeah yeah yeah and he said you know for everyone gives aussie like you know people that are not in

14:07

the industry would give out you know they just think everything's done they think he just like he's

14:11

wheeled out yeah and he said they don't understand how amazing he was so so the thing that made aussie

14:19

super special was this ability you you would be in the studio or in the rehearsal space or whatever

14:25

and he said and i'd come in with like 30 riffs that i thought were great and aussie would whittle that

14:30

down to five right right and then he had this ability to then come up with the melody the melody on

14:36

top of that riff yeah so it would be this ability to kind of go and he he said like you know it was

14:41

almost like it clicked you would play the riff to him and he'd go no no no stop that that one and then

14:48

he do you know i mean then he would be like you know let's do it differently because you know obviously

14:51

he wasn't a guitarist he'd be like so differently and then he'd say like as you would then get that

14:55

riff and you would be kind of you know kind of riffing on that that riff that he that i'd showed him

15:00

and then he'd like just come up with from nowhere this melody that would sit over the top and he was a

15:05

killer for melodies and it was but he said he was all aussie it was all i was being able to pick this

15:10

stuff and be able to get it i and you know there's a there's such a skill in that but where you can you

15:16

it's done by ear uh and the reason i say that is because i think isn't dave growl like famously can't

15:22

play an instrument right right so he doesn't he can't write music yeah he doesn't know what the chords

15:26

i just plays the shapes and there's a lovely bit it was an interview with him where where someone's

15:30

asking him how he learned to play the guitar he says i can't play the guitar i don't know what an f is

15:35

yeah yeah yeah i don't know what a g is i have no idea yeah i literally don't know i've just learned

15:40

if i put my fingers there it sounds good it's that sort of thing exactly oh yeah if i do this it makes

15:44

that noise and i like that oh no i don't like that and that's and i don't know there's just this thing

15:49

where um i think some people have that you know that that that ability to do that and clearly

15:56

you know ozzy and and and dave growl they that some of the melodies and this album for the foo

16:03

fighters record it's full of like like pop melody oh yeah i mean the top that then that that must be

16:09

a kurt thing because kurt was amazing at that as well yeah yeah that's very true like the top line is

16:14

like just you hear ones and it's an earworm yeah yeah and there's tracks on here though that are like

16:20

like the heavy metal um community adopted and yeah yeah you're like what yeah you know this doesn't

16:29

feel like this does not feel like a a kind of a rock no song no at all i mean there's somewhere it's got

16:36

all it's almost old country jangly yeah yeah kind of yeah it sounds almost like 50s yeah you know

16:41

i mean it's got like a really super summer pop thing yeah you know yeah but it's got it but the

16:47

melodies and the hooks of that and i mean quite clearly that's in his brain you know if you can't

16:51

if if you can't write music then that you've that's just got to live in your brain is that yeah yeah yeah

16:57

yeah yeah you know what i mean it's just but there is there is like a a sort of web of of style styles

17:04

from that neck of the woods yeah that sort of seattle washington um portland even you know that that

17:11

kind of part of the world in america it's definitely got a sound to it yeah definitely got of like a kind

17:16

of swampy sort of we've talked about summary thing yeah well we've where i i think i i always had this

17:25

assumption it was the studio but i i don't think it is because it's a weird contradiction of of

17:31

styles on this album there's like punk stuff on here there's tracks that sound like um i'll stick

17:37

around yeah that to me sounds like it's off a nirvana record yeah yeah it's it's angry it's vibey

17:55

i'm not a nirvana record yeah yeah i thought i made one all it took to bother you every word i said was true that you'll see

18:13

it's all right if you're confused let me be

18:32

i've been around all the pawns you gagged and mound he'll come back and knock you down

18:52

it's not for me

19:00

i've taken all that i've endured

19:03

it's not for me

19:05

i've taken all that i've endured

19:07

it's not for me

19:09

i don't know you

19:23

i don't know you anything

19:24

i don't know you anything

19:27

i have no hair you were ever desperate man it would turn that when it lands what are you i should have known you were better off alone i looked in and i would show you you were too

19:55

I'm taking it all when I've been here

20:02

One day at all, the day I'm sure

20:08

I don't know you anything

20:14

I don't know you anything

20:17

I don't know you anything

20:21

I don't know you anything

20:24

I don't know you anything

20:31

I don't know you anything

20:35

I don't know you anything

20:39

I'll stick around, I'll stick around

20:43

Turn my wall, keep my neck

20:47

I'll stick around, I'll stick around

20:50

Turn my wall, keep my neck

20:54

I'll stick around, I'll stick around

20:58

Turn my wall, keep my neck

21:00

I'll stick around, I'll stick around

21:04

Turn my wall, keep my neck

21:08

I stand by rock music, that it'll absolutely always have the same impact on your music

21:25

I stand by rock music, that it'll absolutely always have the same impact on a person

21:39

Rock and roll can do the same thing that it can do when rock and roll was huge

21:45

whether it was when the Beatles were huge, or Zeppelin was huge, or the police were huge

21:49

but I mean if a kid goes out and picks up a high on fire record, some crazy heavy shit that probably no one in here has ever heard before

22:02

and they listen to it and it makes them want to break a window, that's what rock and roll does

22:08

Like the first time you hear AC/DC, you know, you get that feeling like, oh my god I'm gonna break stuff, you know

22:16

So I mean that, like kids can find, they don't, kids find their own way of doing that, you know

22:23

I don't want kids to play drums like me, I want kids to play drums like the kids, you know

22:28

I had my favourite drummers for sure, but I think we both taught ourselves how to do what we do

22:33

You know, we didn't go to school for this, we just, to be honest, we just listened to records

22:38

and we weren't good at anything else, you know, we're lifers in that way, I'm a high school dropout

22:41

It was either two male models or drummers

22:45

But then you've got Big Me, which is not

22:48

No, no, it's classic, kind of, you know, if you layered a load of stuff on it, it's almost

22:54

a bit Beach Boise if you just a load of my harmony vocals and that sort of thing

22:58

Yeah, and again, the vocals on this I think are really interesting

23:03

I think Dave's vocals get better as he goes from album to album

23:07

Partly because this stops layering it quite so much

23:09

Yeah, there's a thing with his, like quad layering

23:13

Yeah, because he wasn't confident with his voice

23:15

We hear that from so many

23:18

Like James Hetfield

23:20

Yeah, yeah

23:21

Hated his voice, he was only a temporary singer

23:23

Yeah

23:23

In Metallica

23:24

And didn't like his voice, it was only

23:28

Was it Bob Rock? Bob Rock got him to stop layering as much

23:33

Right, okay

23:33

He used to do that all the time, he didn't like that

23:36

So it's bizarre, isn't it?

23:38

You know, these people that you assume are going to be confident

23:43

Yes

23:43

Have this vision of what they want and actually

23:45

When we talked about it last week, I actually don't necessarily have that

23:49

That confidence you'd expect

23:52

No, no

23:53

I mean, how do you be a rock and roll star?

23:55

Yeah, yeah

23:56

And not, you know what I mean?

23:57

And then, oh, I'm not a very good singer

23:58

Yeah, yeah

23:59

Shall we do some facts?

24:02

Let's do some facts

24:04

There's some fun facts on this one, I think

24:07

I'm at the wrong place in my thing

24:10

So it was released in 1995

24:13

I'm going to say 26th of June in the UK

24:15

It's bizarrely, according to my notes

24:17

It was released in the UK before the US

24:19

I don't think that's correct

24:21

But that's what it says online

24:23

So that's what I'm going to go with

24:25

It's tagged as post-grunge

24:29

So that's got a keyboard in it?

24:31

Is that the law of post?

24:32

I think that just means after Nirvana

24:33

Is that what that means?

24:35

It says alternative rock, pop, post-grunge, punk rock

24:41

Yeah

24:41

That's a nice way of describing it though, isn't it?

24:43

Really?

24:44

That's what the AI described it as

24:46

12 tracks, 44 minutes long

24:48

Yeah, yeah

24:49

All quite short

24:51

That's like your ideal length, isn't it?

24:53

Yeah

24:53

That's like 12 songs

24:55

Yeah

24:55

About 45 minutes

24:56

Yeah, like that

24:57

Job done

24:57

Oh, that's good

24:58

It's an album

24:59

You listen to the album

25:00

And then you listen to it again

25:02

Yeah

25:02

I like that

25:03

It was on Roswell Records

25:06

So the original

25:07

If you see the original vinyl pressing of this

25:10

It's all got like Roswell Records

25:12

That's Dave's label, isn't it?

25:14

Yeah

25:14

Roswell Records is Dave Grohl's label

25:16

That's it

25:16

It's an imprint that he put it out through a major

25:19

Yeah

25:20

But he controls all the rights

25:22

And it's, yeah, it's worth pointing out that he

25:23

So he owns everything and then leases it to Sony

25:27

Sony, yeah

25:28

So, yeah, they're one of the few

25:30

There can't be many bands that are in that situation

25:32

And I guess it's that improbable scenario of having tons of cash

25:36

Yeah

25:36

Being able to fund it yourself and then say, screw you

25:39

Yeah, yeah

25:39

You know what I mean?

25:39

If you want it, yeah, I'll license it to you

25:41

But you're not having it

25:42

The foundation of this band

25:43

Is so perfect because everything that we've done

25:48

We've never had this financial, this aggressive financial

25:51

It's just been mellow like, let's make it about the music

25:54

Let's not talk about money

25:56

Let's just go have a good time

25:58

All of these albums that we've put out

26:00

They're on my label

26:01

And I just license them to Sony VMG

26:03

And so we own our whole catalog

26:05

Nobody tells us how to do stuff

26:07

But then being able to do that for the rest of his career

26:10

Basically, I think that's really, really cool

26:12

The original version, Dave did not tell who it was

26:17

And just dished out a hundred cassettes

26:20

Right

26:20

To people in and around Seattle

26:21

And no one knew

26:24

And that's where the name Foo Fighters came from

26:26

The UFOs, the Second World War UFOs

26:29

And he thought it sounded like a band

26:32

And didn't want it to sound like him

26:33

So that's what he went for

26:35

When I did that first record

26:37

I was reading this book called Above Top Secret

26:40

And it was all about people that were in the Air Force

26:42

And the Marines and around the world

26:44

Talking about this crazy stuff that they've seen

26:46

I read the words Foo Fighters

26:48

And I thought, oh, maybe I'll call it that

26:50

Because I didn't want people to know it was just me

26:53

If I had a name like Foo Fighters

26:55

They'd imagine it was a group of people

26:57

Famously hates the name

26:59

Because it's stupid

27:00

Which I just think

27:03

It's too far along now though, isn't it?

27:04

Yeah, you can't change it now, can you?

27:06

You know, I'm really happy with what's happened

27:08

Over the last 16 years

27:09

We're really lucky

27:10

And I love being in this band

27:11

But honestly, Foo Fighters is like

27:14

The stupidest f***ing band name you've ever had

27:15

It's a horrible name

27:18

The reason why I called it Foo Fighters

27:20

Was because

27:21

The first thing that I recorded

27:24

Was

27:25

I did it by myself

27:26

And I played all the instruments

27:27

I played drums and guitar and bass

27:28

And sang

27:29

And I made this cassette

27:31

But I didn't want people to know it was me

27:32

Because I didn't want people to think like

27:34

Oh, that guy from Nirvana

27:35

Is trying to start another band

27:36

So I just called it

27:37

Foo Fighters

27:39

Because it sounded like a group of people

27:40

But it stuck

27:41

And it stayed all this time

27:43

And I just can't believe

27:44

If I knew that

27:45

We would be here

27:46

Would there have been a point

27:48

Where he could have changed it?

27:49

Yeah, I don't know

27:52

Because there was a bit where

27:53

There was the bit where

27:54

Taylor Hawkins joined

27:55

Wasn't there?

27:55

Because he wasn't the original

27:56

Yeah, no, he wasn't

27:57

He was a bit later

27:57

Yeah, he was, yeah

27:58

That might have been an opportunity

28:00

To change it, yeah

28:01

To change it

28:02

What would you change it to?

28:03

Band names are stupid

28:04

What would you call a band?

28:06

It's just like

28:07

Yeah

28:08

Do you know?

28:09

Yeah, yeah, yeah

28:10

Yeah, mad

28:11

It sold 900,000 copies

28:13

In the US

28:15

By the end of 95

28:16

So in six months

28:18

So it did

28:18

I think it did really, really well

28:19

That's crazy, isn't it?

28:22

It came really from

28:23

Saying they're basically demos

28:25

I mean, that's the thing

28:26

It sounds like demos

28:27

It's a demo album, really

28:30

In terms of like

28:31

It isn't

28:33

Because it's obviously

28:33

Really well played

28:34

And that sort of thing

28:35

But you'd imagine

28:36

Somebody else might have gone

28:37

That's great

28:38

Let's re-record it

28:38

With the band now

28:39

Oh, yeah

28:40

It might be

28:41

I wonder if Dave

28:42

Told them to get lost

28:43

Yeah, maybe

28:43

Because it's got

28:44

For me, the thing that makes this

28:46

One of my favourite albums

28:48

For Free Fighters

28:50

Is that

28:50

The fact that it sounds

28:52

A bit raw

28:52

It doesn't

28:52

This doesn't sound

28:53

No one agonised over

28:55

Clip timing and stuff

28:57

To this

28:57

And, you know

28:58

It's

28:58

And I think

28:59

They're better for it

29:00

It's

29:01

Each track sounds

29:02

A little bit different

29:03

And the

29:04

I don't know

29:05

There's like

29:06

It feels alive

29:07

I think it's important

29:08

To write

29:08

To have an album

29:09

With 12 songs

29:10

That none of the songs

29:12

Sound the same

29:13

So different arrangements

29:14

Different moods

29:17

Like happy songs

29:18

Sad songs

29:18

Quiet songs

29:19

Loud songs

29:20

Every song

29:21

Soft songs

29:22

And so that

29:23

Instead of an album

29:24

Of 12 songs

29:25

That sound exactly the same

29:26

You try to

29:27

Break it up

29:28

And make it

29:30

Make everything different

29:32

So you can put it

29:33

On the album

29:34

At the beginning

29:34

And listen to it

29:35

All the way to the end

29:36

It sounds authentic

29:38

Yeah

29:38

You know what I mean

29:39

It sounds what it is

29:40

And I quite like that

29:41

Yeah, yeah, yeah

29:42

It's really, really cool

29:43

The album really came

29:45

Half of the album

29:46

Came from

29:47

The loss of

29:48

Kurt Cobain

29:48

And Dave

29:49

And Dave

29:49

Dealing with that

29:50

But basically

29:51

I think he struggled

29:52

With

29:53

Lots of interviews

29:56

Talking about

29:56

Initially never wanting

29:58

To play ever again

29:59

And then

30:00

Realizing there was

30:01

A cathartism

30:02

About music

30:03

And doing that

30:04

And that's what

30:04

He decided to do

30:05

And that's where

30:06

The band came from

30:07

When Kurt passed away

30:08

Nobody could imagine

30:10

Playing music

30:11

Ever again

30:11

Really

30:12

It was difficult

30:13

To listen to music

30:14

And then I realized

30:18

Oh wait

30:18

There's healing

30:19

In music

30:20

Maybe that's

30:21

What's going to

30:21

Make me feel better

30:22

Same as with Nate

30:23

And William

30:24

They were in

30:25

Sunny Day real estate

30:26

And that band

30:27

Had ended prematurely

30:28

And so

30:29

So this became

30:30

A vehicle for everyone

30:31

To feel like

30:32

You know

30:32

Life goes on

30:33

The ball keeps rolling

30:34

You know

30:34

It's the same feeling

30:36

Like my buddy

30:37

Jimmy passed away

30:37

We'd known each other

30:38

Since we were

30:39

Five or six years old

30:40

We were best friends

30:40

And he died

30:42

And I was

30:42

I'm still heartbroken

30:43

But you know

30:44

The chorus of that song

30:46

That song

30:46

Is basically saying

30:47

Like you know

30:48

Words mean nothing

30:48

Without action

30:49

And so

30:50

I could write

30:51

A love song

30:52

About how much

30:53

I love someone

30:54

Or I could write

30:54

About how much

30:54

I miss someone

30:55

But there's just words

30:57

You know

30:57

So to me

30:59

It's all about

30:59

Like moving forward

31:01

And actually

31:02

Like doing something

31:04

You recorded

31:04

At Robert Lang Studios

31:06

In Seattle

31:07

Yeah

31:09

Some

31:09

And then they recorded

31:10

The tracks

31:11

Some were mostly written

31:13

Some were written

31:14

During the time

31:14

Of Nirvana

31:14

Others were

31:15

Written afterwards

31:16

But

31:18

Almost all of them

31:19

Were finished off

31:20

In the studio

31:20

There were a hundred

31:23

Vinyl LPs pressed

31:25

Oh were there

31:26

Right

31:26

Apparently so

31:27

Yeah

31:27

I've never seen one

31:29

No

31:29

But given

31:30

Given the fact

31:30

That I can't even

31:31

Get a copy

31:31

Of the Goo Goo Dolls

31:33

Superstar Car Wash

31:34

For less than a kidney

31:35

I would

31:38

Well I would wager

31:39

That they are

31:40

Stupidly expensive

31:41

Let's talk about the cover

31:43

Yes

31:43

Do you know about the cover

31:44

No I don't

31:45

But it's that kind of like

31:45

It's that like

31:46

It's almost like a UFO gun

31:47

Isn't it

31:47

You're going to love this

31:48

You're going to love this

31:49

Do you know whose gun that is

31:51

No

31:52

Buck Rogers

31:53

Is it

31:54

So it's Buck Rogers

31:55

XZ-38 disintegrator pistol

31:58

Didn't know that at all

31:59

Chosen for its sci-fi appeal

32:01

Yes

32:02

And it was designed

32:03

By Jennifer Youngblood

32:05

Do you know who she is

32:05

That's Dave's

32:06

First wife

32:07

Wife

32:07

Dave's first wife

32:08

Yeah

32:09

Now

32:09

Do you know what

32:11

The press

32:11

Jumped

32:12

So bear in mind

32:14

It's sci-fi

32:15

It's Buck Rogers

32:15

It's cool

32:16

It's sci-fi

32:17

Great

32:18

It's called

32:18

Food Fighters

32:19

That's got a

32:20

Do you know what

32:20

Do you know what the press

32:21

Came up with

32:22

It's a reference to

32:24

Kurt Cobain's

32:25

Killing himself

32:25

You're joking

32:26

Dickheads

32:27

Cheap

32:27

Cheap

32:27

Cheap

32:28

Not doing the homework

32:29

Yeah yeah yeah

32:30

Lazy

32:31

For those fans of the show

32:33

That listened before

32:33

We need dinosaurs

32:34

To come and deal with

32:35

Those people

32:37

That's how you deal with

32:39

Dickheads

32:39

Dinosaurs

32:40

But it's a cool t-shirt

32:43

This is

32:44

This is a cool

32:44

If you've got this

32:45

I remember being at work

32:47

Yes

32:47

And I work in a very nerdy job

32:49

And sometimes

32:50

When

32:52

Like

32:53

Nerds like me often

32:55

Like dealing with strangers

32:56

Is quite difficult

32:58

Yeah

32:58

You know when you've got

32:58

A room full of people

32:59

You don't know

33:00

I just go and sit in the toilet

33:01

Yeah

33:02

Or

33:02

I do that

33:03

I used to go and do

33:04

When I was presenting a lot

33:05

I used to go and

33:06

I had this

33:06

Tiny physics book

33:08

By Richard Feynman

33:09

Called Six Easy Pieces

33:10

Which was the Caltech

33:12

The original Caltech lecture

33:13

So if you were a

33:14

Physics undergraduate

33:15

At Caltech

33:15

This would be the

33:16

Physics undergraduate course

33:18

And I had it in a book

33:19

And I used to go and sit

33:20

Like

33:20

I'd find like a dark corner

33:22

Somewhere

33:22

And I used to go and sit

33:23

And read it

33:23

Wow

33:24

And that kind of

33:24

Made me feel calm

33:25

And then I would be able

33:26

To go and deal with people

33:27

And I was doing an event

33:29

We were at

33:29

We were in Reading

33:32

So we were in

33:33

In Reading

33:34

This big event

33:34

Loads of customers there

33:35

Loads of people there

33:36

Didn't know anybody

33:37

And I was a bit nervous

33:39

And somebody came in

33:40

Like

33:41

One of

33:42

Like the people

33:43

That were on my side

33:43

Of the fence

33:44

Came in

33:44

With a Foo Fighters

33:45

With this Foo Fighters

33:47

Album t-shirt on

33:48

And I was just like

33:50

Yeah you're alright

33:51

And then that

33:51

So I went and sat with him

33:52

Yeah

33:53

His name was Adrian

33:54

And he was

33:54

He was alright

33:55

Yeah

33:55

So that's how you tell

33:58

If people are alright

33:58

Yeah if they've got that shirt

33:59

If they've got

34:00

Yeah but this is a cool t-shirt

34:02

So that's pretty cool

34:03

See with me

34:04

It was the

34:04

You know last week

34:05

We were speaking about

34:06

Performance and cocktails

34:07

And I spoke about my friendship

34:09

With Martin Book

34:09

Yeah yeah

34:10

And how that was quite

34:11

A thing of our friendship

34:12

Yeah

34:13

This one was a different friendship

34:14

It was with Danny Bennett

34:15

Another friend

34:16

Yeah

34:16

We were a little bit younger

34:18

He used to go around

34:19

His quite a lot

34:19

Yeah

34:20

And play on Amiga

34:21

Oh the 500

34:22

No he had the 600

34:23

Oh

34:24

And I had the 500 plus

34:25

Oh nice

34:26

And we used to play on that

34:29

Team 17

34:29

Yeah

34:30

What else did you play on

34:30

Well we did all that

34:32

For a bit

34:32

Was it Worms

34:34

Worms yeah

34:35

Yeah there was Worms

34:36

And there was

34:36

Captain Planet that I had

34:38

There was Lemmings

34:39

There was all those sorts of things

34:40

Lemmings was dead good

34:41

On the Amiga

34:41

Yeah it was

34:42

And then he ended up

34:45

Getting the SNES

34:45

So he had like

34:47

The Mario Kart

34:48

And those sort of things

34:49

We used to play

34:49

Around his

34:50

But this was an album

34:51

That was always on

34:52

He'd always have this album

34:53

On when we were

34:54

When we were doing stuff

34:54

So

34:55

While we're off topic

34:56

Do you

34:58

Do you

34:59

Again you're going to love this

35:00

You know like

35:02

Commodore doesn't really

35:03

Exist anymore

35:04

Yes

35:04

Yeah

35:05

A YouTuber's bought it

35:06

No way

35:07

Honestly

35:09

Like a YouTuber

35:11

Who loves retro computing

35:13

Yeah

35:13

Yeah

35:13

Has pulled a consortium together

35:15

Important

35:15

And they bought

35:16

Commodore

35:17

Wow

35:17

So they're now

35:18

Relaunching and redoing

35:20

You know sometimes

35:21

You see things

35:22

And you just think

35:22

I don't like

35:23

I don't like

35:24

Any of the things

35:25

That you're talking about

35:26

Yes

35:26

This was just like

35:27

I love everything about it

35:28

This is the best thing ever

35:29

And they're just talking about

35:30

How they're going to do it

35:31

And what they're going to do

35:32

And how they're going to

35:32

There's good stuff

35:33

Oh

35:33

They're so

35:34

They're like

35:35

Nerdy nerds

35:38

Yes

35:38

Do you know what I mean

35:39

They're the right kind of people

35:40

To own Commodore

35:41

And I was just so

35:42

Yeah

35:44

It's just been

35:44

Oh yeah

35:45

Anyway

35:46

I'm so excited about that

35:47

Because Atari had to go

35:48

Didn't they

35:49

They started bringing out

35:50

Some stuff

35:50

That never really landed

35:52

Yeah

35:52

Doesn't

35:52

And I think

35:53

This will work

35:54

Because these guys

35:55

Absolutely get it

35:56

They are just

35:58

In it

35:59

Up to their elbows

36:00

They love it

36:00

So yeah

36:02

I could not be more excited

36:04

About that

36:05

And if I had more spare time

36:06

I would join them

36:07

And do coding

36:08

And it would be amazing

36:09

Maybe when I retire

36:11

I will retire

36:12

As a Commodore developer

36:13

Oh I forgot where I got to

36:16

Oh Pistol

36:16

We talked about Buck Rogers

36:17

I like Buck Rogers

36:18

Yes I like Buck Rogers

36:19

Dead good

36:20

Where was that the other day

36:21

Someone had Twiggy on their phone

36:23

Twiggy Twiggy

36:25

Twiggy Twiggy

36:25

Yeah someone had that

36:26

On their phone

36:27

It was like their

36:27

Their homeschool

36:28

I can't remember who it was

36:29

But I remember being surprised by it

36:31

Like I wasn't

36:32

I wouldn't expect them

36:32

To have that on their phone

36:33

What was the doctor called

36:34

Doctor

36:35

Oh I don't know

36:36

I think that was

36:37

Doctor Robotnik of Sonic

36:39

That's all I can think about

36:39

Because we're talking about

36:41

Games and consoles

36:42

Different doctor

36:42

Different doctor

36:43

Very different doctor

36:44

Peter Venkman

36:45

That's a good doctor name

36:47

Where did

36:47

Oh yeah

36:48

Venkman

36:48

Right here we go

36:50

Yeah

36:50

Dave Grohl paid for all the sessions

36:53

And yeah

36:55

So it was all Dave

36:55

He owns the whole

36:57

Yeah the whole

36:59

Whole lot

36:59

So he does

37:00

Does absolutely everything

37:01

Owns everything

37:03

For all of the albums

37:04

And typically

37:06

Will kind of pay

37:07

And run

37:07

Everything out of himself

37:08

So the band

37:08

Own it

37:09

And then they license it

37:10

Off to

37:11

To the record labels

37:12

It's a nice model I think

37:13

Because you were saying

37:14

That creative control

37:15

Yeah

37:15

If you could do it

37:16

It's mega isn't it

37:18

So

37:18

I didn't Taylor Swift

37:20

Sell all of hers

37:21

And then buy it back again

37:22

Yeah something like that

37:24

Because she did her own

37:24

She didn't like the versions

37:25

They put out

37:26

Yeah then she re-recorded hers

37:28

Yeah

37:28

And then the old ones

37:29

Have then gone down in value

37:30

Yeah

37:31

And then I think she's

37:32

Bought them back again

37:33

Right okay

37:34

I find

37:37

She can do what she wants really

37:39

I find the concept

37:40

Of owning something

37:41

And ultimately

37:43

Like an idea

37:44

Yes

37:45

Just absurd

37:46

Yeah yeah

37:47

Like

37:47

Oh yeah

37:49

The idea of publishing

37:50

And songwriting royalties

37:51

And that

37:51

That'll do your head in

37:52

Because that's

37:53

Mad

37:53

That's

37:54

Yeah that's not even

37:55

That's not a record

37:56

That's

37:57

No because there's the record

37:58

So there's the record

37:59

There's the

37:59

There's two copyrighting music

38:01

There's a copyright of the song

38:03

Yeah

38:03

Of the composition

38:05

The kind of

38:05

The words and the music

38:06

Whatever you want to call it

38:07

And then there's the copyright

38:08

Of the recording

38:09

And they're two very different things

38:10

And the recording for me

38:11

That's a physical thing

38:13

And I get that

38:13

I get that you could

38:14

Like you could own

38:15

The original masters

38:17

Of Dark Side of the Moon

38:18

Yeah

38:18

And I could go and buy them

38:19

And I could keep them

38:21

In my drawer

38:21

With my underpants

38:22

And that's

38:23

And they're mine

38:24

That's my copy

38:25

I own them

38:26

Yeah

38:26

But then there's the

38:28

The songwriting

38:29

Of

38:30

You know

38:31

Breathe

38:31

And you just think

38:33

How do you

38:34

Do that

38:36

How do you

38:37

Because ultimately

38:38

That lives in somebody's head

38:39

And then there's a

38:40

Like 50 million copies of it

38:41

So 50 million people

38:42

Know that song

38:43

Yeah

38:43

But it's yours

38:44

Yeah

38:45

You know

38:45

That intellectual property

38:47

Of the song

38:47

Of the composition

38:48

Of the idea

38:49

If you like

38:50

Yeah

38:50

That's why I just

38:51

I find it mind-bending

38:52

Really interesting

38:53

So that's why you have

38:54

Record labels and publishers

38:55

So record labels

38:56

Would ordinarily deal

38:57

With the copyright

38:58

Of the song

38:58

Yeah

38:59

Recording sorry

39:00

Yeah yeah

39:00

And publishers would deal

39:01

With the copyright

39:02

Of the composition and song

39:03

I'd never

39:04

Because some songwriters

39:06

Don't perform

39:06

Some songwriters

39:07

Just write the songs

39:08

And then they

39:08

Yeah of course

39:09

Perform them

39:10

Yeah

39:13

But they're the two worlds

39:14

They're the worlds

39:16

Yeah

39:16

Where did I get to this

39:19

Oh yeah

39:20

So the album

39:22

Was recorded

39:23

From the 17th

39:24

To the 23rd

39:24

Of October

39:25

1994

39:26

In Seattle

39:28

It's really interesting

39:30

It was essentially

39:32

Recorded as demos

39:33

So most of the tracks

39:36

Were done twice

39:37

They were tracked twice

39:38

Just Dave playing

39:40

And then

39:41

And then

39:41

You know

39:41

Then building

39:42

The track up

39:44

So it's got

39:45

Interesting

39:45

You can tell

39:47

I think

39:47

Yes

39:48

It doesn't sound live

39:49

No

39:49

It's not got that

39:50

Kind of

39:51

Feel to it

39:53

But it doesn't

39:54

Sound like

39:54

You know

39:55

Like a

39:55

Mutt Lang

39:56

No

39:57

Yeah

39:57

Polished

39:58

Track thing

39:59

I think it's got

40:00

An interesting sound

40:01

This one

40:01

But I quite like it

40:04

Interestingly

40:06

The songs were

40:07

Tracked in sequence

40:08

Oh really

40:09

So he poured

40:09

On the record

40:10

That's interesting

40:11

So yeah

40:11

I think that's

40:12

Interesting as well

40:13

When asked

40:15

He felt his voice

40:16

Was the weak point

40:17

And then

40:18

Which is why

40:18

I tracked it

40:19

Like 18 times

40:20

That's a

40:22

Foo Fight

40:23

That's

40:23

A standard

40:25

Foo Fighters

40:26

Thing

40:26

That double track

40:27

Vocal

40:28

Or quad track

40:28

Vocal

40:29

Whatever you want

40:29

To call it

40:29

That's very much

40:30

A Foo Fighters

40:31

Kind of sound

40:32

That's part

40:33

Part of that sound

40:33

Probably not so much

40:34

On the newer stuff

40:35

Maybe but

40:36

Certainly for a long time

40:37

Yeah

40:37

It had a thing to it

40:39

You'd have to think

40:40

That after you did

40:41

The first

40:41

Like years worth

40:43

Of live shows

40:44

You think

40:44

Oh I'm alright

40:45

I can tell

40:45

You know

40:46

I'm alright

40:47

So

40:48

Oh where did

40:51

We get to

40:51

Now I keep

40:51

Losing my place

40:52

Oh yeah

40:55

So it was produced

40:55

By Barrett Jones

40:56

Oh he was a

40:57

Co-producer of it

40:58

He worked with

41:00

Grohl on his

41:00

Original demos

41:01

And I think that's

41:02

Why he kind of

41:03

Got him

41:03

Got him back

41:03

There was a trust

41:04

There that he

41:05

Wasn't going to

41:06

Blab it

41:07

Yeah a little bit

41:08

Album

41:10

Album

41:11

Debuted

41:12

Debuted

41:14

At number 23

41:16

On the billboard

41:17

200

41:18

Which is

41:20

Which is like

41:21

Sold 40,000 copies

41:22

In its first week

41:23

Number 3

41:25

In the UK

41:26

Which is

41:29

Yeah

41:29

For a brand new band

41:31

I mean clearly

41:31

Off the back of Nirvana

41:32

Yes

41:33

Yeah yeah

41:33

People were ready

41:34

And waiting for it

41:35

Weren't they

41:36

Yeah but the song

41:37

Song's were incredible

41:38

Yeah so

41:41

Sales data for this

41:42

One was 1.4 million

41:43

Over that year

41:44

Which is

41:45

Which is just nuts

41:45

Other stuff

41:47

That was released

41:48

In that year

41:49

It's a big year

41:50

For music

41:50

It's a huge year

41:51

Watch the story

41:52

Morning Glory

41:53

Jagged Little Pill

41:54

King for a Day

41:56

Fall for a Lifetime

41:57

Adrenaline

41:58

Deftones

41:59

Infernal Love

42:00

By Therapy

42:01

Stomp 442

42:03

By Anthrax

42:03

Which gets a lot

42:04

Of hate

42:05

From the Anthrax fans

42:06

We've already said

42:06

There's no one

42:07

Hates heavy metal

42:07

Like heavy metal

42:08

Fans

42:08

And they don't

42:10

Like that very much

42:11

Balance by Van Halen

42:13

Right

42:13

And look at

42:14

Draconian Times

42:15

By Paradise Lost

42:16

I like that

42:17

British band

42:18

Paradise Lost

42:19

Didn't get the love

42:20

They deserve

42:21

I don't think

42:22

1995

42:23

95 also saw the

42:24

Formation of Slipknot

42:25

Slipknot

42:25

Slipknot did a vinyl

42:28

This week

42:29

Limited to 200 copies

42:30

Sold out in 8 seconds

42:32

I saw the email

42:34

And went

42:34

Oh I'll get that

42:35

Click gone

42:36

And then literally

42:38

I'm working

42:39

I see the notification

42:40

Click

42:41

Gone

42:42

I don't know

42:42

I don't know

42:42

I don't know

42:42

How people

42:43

Bought it

42:43

Also

42:45

The formation

42:45

Of Buck

42:46

Cherry

42:46

Right

42:47

In this year

42:48

Which I think

42:48

Is really interesting

42:49

It's a great year

42:49

For rock music

42:50

Isn't it

42:50

That

42:50

People give the 90s

42:52

A hard time

42:53

That was pretty good

42:53

Singles with

42:54

This is a call

42:55

I'll stick around

42:56

Big Me

42:57

And For All the Cows

42:58

For All the Cows

42:59

Is a weird one

43:00

That's a weird

43:02

Choice for a single

43:03

It is weird

43:04

Isn't it

43:05

I mean it's a great song

43:06

Don't get me wrong

43:06

I'm not

43:07

You know

43:07

I'm not calling the song

43:08

But it's

43:09

It's an unusual song

43:10

I am also going to

43:12

Call your attention

43:13

To the videos

43:15

Yes

43:15

Very good

43:16

Always fun

43:16

So

43:17

Some of them

43:18

Are a bit nuts

43:19

So

43:20

Big Me

43:21

Yeah

43:22

Is like

43:23

It's just really

43:24

Bizarre

43:25

They've got

43:27

They have that

43:28

They have this

43:29

Mint

43:30

Where

43:31

Is it like

43:32

They're doing

43:33

Like bizarre

43:33

Stuff like

43:34

This

43:35

Girls at the beginning

43:36

And her mini

43:37

Gets stuck

43:38

This guy in a massive

43:39

Car

43:40

Blocks her in

43:41

And she can't get out

43:42

And then the Foo Fighters

43:42

Turn up and pick her car

43:44

Up and move it

43:44

And she pops a mint

43:46

And they all wink at each other

43:47

And go

43:47

Oh isn't that great

43:47

And then

43:48

It's really weird

43:50

Really weird

43:51

And then

43:52

I'll stick around

43:53

Is another

43:54

Like

43:54

There's bits in there

43:55

Where like

43:56

He eats chess pieces

43:57

And

43:57

They

43:58

They were quite good

44:00

I think

44:00

Or they had good

44:01

Guidance

44:02

On

44:02

Creating videos

44:03

That were going to

44:04

Work and get your attention

44:06

Proper MTV fare

44:09

Yes

44:09

It was everywhere

44:10

And

44:11

This was around the time

44:12

Like pubs would have

44:15

The video

44:16

You know what I mean

44:17

Yeah of course

44:17

When you went to the jukebox

44:18

And put something on

44:19

It would come on all the video screens

44:20

Yeah

44:21

So yeah

44:22

Pretty

44:23

Pretty cool

44:23

I think

44:24

Touring off the back of this

44:28

They did all kinds of stuff

44:29

They are

44:29

According to

44:31

Setlist FM

44:31

They played 100 shows

44:33

In 1995

44:34

Wow

44:35

And then they did another

44:37

1796

44:38

Yeah

44:39

They made the US live

44:43

Debut supporting Mike Watt

44:44

On the Ring Spiel Tour

44:45

With support from Hovercraft

44:47

They were on

44:49

The Late Show with David Letterman

44:51

Festival appearances

44:54

At Pugal Pop

44:55

Reading

44:56

Lowlands

44:56

Everywhere

44:58

They toured Europe

44:59

Japan

44:59

Australia

45:00

New Zealand

45:00

It's

45:02

Just nuts

45:03

Yeah

45:04

Yeah

45:04

I mean

45:06

We talk about this quite often

45:09

But I think some bands thrive

45:11

In that live

45:12

Yes

45:12

That live

45:13

And I think

45:14

You know

45:14

They're all still grieving

45:16

A little bit

45:16

Off the back of

45:17

Kurt Cobain as well

45:20

So

45:20

You know

45:21

I think they just kind of

45:22

Threw themselves out

45:23

Into the

45:23

Big wide world

45:24

A little bit

45:25

But definitely

45:26

Grafting off the back of that

45:28

Yeah

45:28

And haven't ever really stopped

45:29

No

45:30

From what I understand

45:31

They've not been big gaps

45:32

Has there

45:32

Not huge gaps

45:34

Not like some bands

45:35

Oh where are we going to here

45:39

Oh we've done all of that

45:41

I've covered

45:41

I'm doing my five things table

45:43

And we've done all of that

45:44

Oh

45:45

Despite Dave Grohl

45:47

Playing everything

45:47

Capital required

45:49

A full band photo

45:50

In the liner notes

45:51

Isn't that weird

45:53

Yeah

45:53

Yeah

45:53

Yeah

45:54

I did not know that

45:55

Until I was at the table

45:57

It's not been used

45:59

Massively in

46:00

TV and video

46:04

Big Me was used

46:06

On The Last Man on Earth

46:07

In 2015

46:08

Right

46:09

And on Bones

46:10

You know

46:10

The movie Bones

46:12

Yes

46:12

It was in there as well

46:13

Critical reviews

46:17

Yeah it's interesting

46:20

So Spin compared it

46:21

To Nevermind

46:23

Which I think is stupid

46:25

Yeah

46:25

It doesn't sound like

46:26

Nevermind to me

46:27

It's a totally different vibe

46:28

Because yeah

46:29

Kerrang said it was

46:30

Strong enough to stand

46:31

On its own merits

46:31

Yeah I think lots of people

46:35

Were comparing it to

46:35

Punk and grunge

46:36

Robert Christogel

46:40

Who was a famous

46:41

Reviewer back then

46:42

Said it lacked

46:43

Identity

46:44

I mean how do you feel

46:47

About that now

46:47

Yeah

46:48

Yeah yeah yeah

46:49

Exactly

46:49

I think it's got

46:50

Identity

46:51

Yeah

46:51

Generally was super

46:53

Well

46:54

Yeah super

46:55

Well

46:56

Reviewed

46:58

I don't think

46:59

There were any

47:00

Remasters

47:02

No

47:03

Right that is

47:04

Interesting

47:04

Because it

47:05

Yeah

47:05

Because it is a

47:06

It could quite easily

47:08

Be couldn't it

47:08

It could yeah

47:09

I'm glad it's not

47:09

No

47:10

So well done Dave

47:11

Because we don't like that

47:12

But yeah this one I think

47:14

It sounds like the beginning

47:15

Of something

47:16

That's what this album

47:17

Always sounds like to me

47:18

Yeah yeah yeah

47:18

Put it on you go

47:18

Oh that's the

47:19

That's the start

47:20

That's the beginning

47:21

For me this one sound

47:22

This is Dave recording it all

47:23

It's in the studio

47:24

He's kind of grieving a little bit

47:26

Writing the songs

47:27

Doing his thing

47:27

It's a point in time

47:30

Of him doing the stuff

47:32

And that's what this album is

47:34

Yeah

47:34

If you go back and

47:36

Like remaster it

47:37

And compress it

47:38

And polish it a little bit

47:39

It's now not that

47:41

It's not that anymore

47:41

Yeah yeah

47:42

And for me I don't know

47:43

These songs

47:44

The songs are not going to get any better

47:46

By making the album louder

47:47

Yeah yeah

47:48

Do you know what I mean

47:49

I think it's

47:50

The thing that makes this special

47:53

For me is the melody

47:54

It's Dave's top line

47:55

So it's kind of vocals

47:56

And the drum

47:59

The percussion as well

48:00

He's got a

48:01

Dave Grohl

48:03

Has got this lovely

48:04

I mean it's not a super

48:05

Technical drummer

48:05

But what he's got in

48:07

In like rhythm

48:08

Of you know

48:09

This ability to play

48:10

The right thing

48:11

At the right time

48:12

Yes yeah

48:12

It's incredible

48:13

Yeah yeah yeah

48:14

None of that's going to get

48:15

Any better if you remaster it

48:16

No

48:16

And I think

48:17

But like you say

48:18

It's a point in time

48:19

It's this

48:20

It's this

48:20

It's a capture of the moment

48:21

Yeah exactly

48:22

And I like it

48:23

So I'm very glad

48:24

That it's not being done

48:25

Well if it has been redone

48:26

I can't tell

48:28

Which is really good

48:30

And that is it

48:32

For facts

48:33

Not that many facts

48:34

About this one

48:35

Very good

48:36

So shall we listen to one

48:37

And then we shall

48:39

Discuss what we're going to do next

48:42

I haven't thought about

48:43

What we're going to do next

48:44

I'm not ready

48:45

That's alright

48:45

We've got time

48:46

Because I've got to edit

48:46

And faff

48:47

And do things

48:47

Oh yeah

48:48

I might have a fruit pastel

48:49

Yeah go on

48:51

What shall we play

48:51

Oh let's do

48:53

Let's do Big Me

48:54

Oh I like that one

48:55

When I talk about it

49:12

Carries on

49:14

Reasons only new

49:17

When I talk about it

49:20

Aries or

49:21

Treasons already new

49:24

Then me to talk about it

49:29

I could stand to prove

49:31

If we can get around it

49:36

I know that it's true

49:39

Well I talked about it

49:42

Carried on

49:43

Reasons only new

49:46

But it's you

49:48

I fell into

49:51

Well I talked about it

49:56

Carries on

49:57

Carries on

49:58

Reasons only new

50:01

When I talk about it

50:04

Aries or aries or treasons all new

50:08

Pegged me to talk about it

50:13

I could stand to prove

50:15

If we can get around it

50:20

I know that it's true

50:22

I know that it's true

50:23

Well I talked about it

50:26

Put it on

50:27

Never was it true

50:30

But it's you

50:32

But it's you

50:32

I fell into

50:35

Well I talked about it

50:40

Put it on

50:42

Never was it true

50:45

But it's you

50:47

I fell into

50:50

I fell into

50:51

I fell into

50:51

I fell into

50:53

I fell into

50:58

And it's you

50:59

And it's you

50:59

Yeah because the hardest thing is

51:03

The greatest thing about this band

51:04

Is that it's a new band

51:06

And we're looking towards the future

51:08

And it's nice because

51:10

We have so many things to look forward to

51:11

And most of the interviews I do

51:14

People just ask about Nirvana

51:16

So it's like

51:17

I'm trying to look towards the future

51:19

And I'm trying to like move ahead

51:20

But people always like pull me back

51:23

So that's the hardest thing

51:26

And mainly it's in interviews

51:28

Like where people will ask

51:29

One question about the fighters

51:32

And then Nirvana, Nirvana

51:34

And then they ask all these Nirvana questions

51:36

And it's like

51:36

You know Nirvana was fun

51:38

And it was you know

51:39

It was great

51:39

But it's gone

51:43

You know

51:43

And so this is what I'm trying to focus on

51:46

Like try to look to the future

51:49

Do you think that if we didn't have

51:51

Coke Zero and Fruit Pastels

51:53

Yeah

51:53

That this would be the same experience

51:55

Oh

51:56

No

51:57

No

51:57

I don't think it would work

51:58

I think we'd have to quit

51:59

I'm very tired today

52:01

I was up late

52:03

Watching YouTube

52:05

Were you?

52:05

Was

52:06

I watched a video about

52:09

I watched a video about making Oris watches

52:12

Right yeah yeah

52:13

Because you know I like that

52:15

When I'm tired

52:15

Yeah

52:16

When I need to get to bed

52:17

I love watching

52:17

The Wristwatch Revival

52:19

YouTube channel

52:20

It's very calming

52:21

Yeah

52:22

And it keeps

52:23

I'd love to be able to do it

52:24

I'd love to have that

52:24

I know

52:24

The patience to just

52:26

Do it

52:27

And not lose all the bits

52:28

And then kick it across the room

52:30

And then know how to put it back together

52:30

Yeah yeah

52:31

I get this huge sense of anxiety

52:33

When he takes the watches apart

52:34

And then he puts them back together

52:36

And it's like

52:37

Do you know what I mean

52:37

He's kind of like filling

52:38

I can feel my body filling back

52:40

And I like that

52:41

Anyway I watched this thing about Oris watches

52:43

About how to make the movements

52:45

I watched Alex Steele's

52:47

He's a blacksmith

52:48

Oh okay

52:49

He's just forging

52:50

Oh yeah we've got to get one of them

52:52

I love that

52:53

It's brilliant

52:53

And so I was you know

52:56

Busy

52:56

Busy doing important things

52:59

Till like one o'clock in the morning

53:00

And then Lizzie has decided

53:01

That she's lying in too late

53:04

So she set her alarm for six

53:05

Which woke me up

53:07

Yeah

53:07

I didn't need to be up at six

53:08

No

53:09

She fell back asleep

53:10

And I couldn't

53:10

So for like five hours sleep

53:12

And I'm feeling a bit tired

53:13

Yeah yeah yeah

53:14

But good choices

53:15

Of things to watch

53:16

Wow

53:16

Well indeed

53:17

Yeah

53:17

Indeed my friend

53:18

Indeed

53:18

It's been

53:19

And then I had another day

53:20

This week

53:20

Did you watch the one

53:21

Where they make the swords

53:22

Is it called Forged and Steel

53:24

No it's called

53:26

His name's Alex Steel

53:27

Oh right okay

53:28

He's very British

53:28

And he does all kinds of things

53:30

This one isn't

53:30

This is very American

53:31

Oh is it

53:32

And they bang stuff

53:33

And then they like

53:33

Chop stuff up with it

53:34

Oh

53:35

Yeah

53:35

I mean I've never done forging

53:37

Or have the desire

53:39

To forge or blacksmith

53:40

But I love watching people do it

53:41

Yeah yeah yeah

53:42

I don't know

53:42

I reckon you would

53:43

I reckon

53:43

When she got a forging

53:44

When she got a bang in stuff

53:45

I just think it'd be

53:45

You know it's a bit like

53:46

Be loud

53:47

You have to have earplugs

53:47

I tell you what

53:48

It reminds me of

53:49

Is like when

53:50

I watch a festival

53:51

Yeah

53:52

I think that'd be great

53:53

Do you know what I mean

53:56

You know where I'm going

53:57

Yeah I do

53:58

But then you think

53:59

Oh but actually

54:00

I've got a backache

54:01

And my feet would hurt

54:02

And there's nowhere to sit down

54:03

Do you know what I mean

54:04

Yeah yeah yeah

54:05

It's a bit like

54:05

I think I imagine forging

54:07

Like as a blacksmith

54:08

It would all be hot and heavy

54:09

Wouldn't it

54:10

And I've got like

54:11

Delicate little hands

54:12

That use keyboard

54:13

And my little delicate hands

54:14

Would be like

54:15

Oh that's a bit hot

54:16

Can I have a bigger glove please

54:18

So I like watching people do it

54:20

Oh I'll tell you what else

54:21

Was on as well

54:22

For the

54:22

And again this

54:23

For those

54:24

You either know

54:25

Or you don't know

54:25

But there was a

54:26

Project Binky episode

54:27

And if you don't know

54:29

What Project Binky is

54:30

Then

54:30

No I don't know

54:31

Yeah you just

54:32

No

54:32

It is a

54:33

You know we

54:34

We cover lots of like

54:35

Niche albums

54:36

Yes

54:36

Where you need

54:37

You know if you know

54:37

Project Binky is a

54:39

Small corner of the internet

54:41

Okay yeah

54:42

And if you know

54:43

Project Binky

54:43

You know Project Binky

54:44

But it's been going for forever

54:46

And it is

54:48

It is great

54:49

If you like that kind

54:49

If you like cars

54:50

Yeah

54:51

Project Binky

54:52

Oh is it really

54:53

Okay right

54:53

Is your thing

54:54

Go and check that out

54:55

But it is excellent

54:56

So there you go

54:58

That's what I did

54:59

And I didn't sleep very well

55:00

And I got up too early

55:02

And I was feeling a bit tired

55:02

And I think without the Diet Coke

55:04

And fruit pastels today

55:05

You just wouldn't have handled it

55:06

I'd have probably just had a nap

55:07

Yeah yeah yeah

55:08

It'd just been you

55:09

You'd just be going

55:10

Wake up

55:10

So I'm feeling a bit tired

55:13

Yeah

55:14

Yep

55:15

I think that before we

55:18

Before we talk about the next record

55:20

Yeah

55:20

Which I thought we've done 50

55:22

55 minutes which is good

55:24

That's pretty good

55:24

I know what we're going to do next

55:26

But we're going to need to

55:27

Throw something in the air

55:28

Oh we're going to do

55:28

The key with the keys

55:30

Unfortunately

55:30

Because I know which one you're going to

55:32

Well I say the band

55:33

I know which album you're going to choose

55:35

Oh really

55:35

And I'm going to choose a different album

55:36

Right okay

55:37

Yeah we'll have to fight over it

55:38

We'll have to do a key fight

55:39

Why don't we build a thunderdome

55:40

Out of the back

55:41

And then we both go in

55:44

Then one of us comes out

55:46

Yeah

55:46

And the one that comes out wins

55:47

That's the best way of doing it

55:49

That'll sell it

55:50

Just whoever has the

55:51

Whoever can stay up

55:52

Without having a nap

55:53

That's just about it

55:55

I wanted to talk about

55:57

Like the gratitude

55:59

For all the people

56:00

That are listening to our show

56:01

Across the world

56:02

Oh that's great

56:03

Yeah

56:03

There's loads here

56:04

It's gone bananas

56:05

There are

56:06

It's a bit bonkers isn't it

56:07

That people come up to me at work

56:09

And say I listened to your show

56:10

It was great

56:10

Which is cool

56:11

But then

56:12

You know when we started this

56:14

We knew everybody

56:14

Yeah

56:15

I mean I know everybody

56:17

I mean not online no

56:18

But like literally physically

56:19

Had touched everyone

56:20

That listened to the show

56:21

And it's bonkers

56:24

But we had a little

56:25

WhatsApp group didn't we

56:26

Where we were trying to

56:26

Encourage people

56:27

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

56:28

Or four or five of us

56:30

Or whatever

56:30

But yeah it's

56:31

It's taken on life of its own now

56:33

It's mad

56:33

It's fantastic

56:33

So yeah it's really cool

56:34

And it's cool to see

56:35

I think I looked

56:36

People have listened to this show

56:39

From 70 countries now

56:40

It's great

56:40

Which is like mind boggling

56:42

It's great

56:43

Yeah I mean

56:43

It's interesting

56:44

There's no

56:46

Do you reckon there are free pastels

56:47

In those

56:47

In Diet Coke

56:48

Coke Zero

56:49

I think Roundtree

56:50

Roundtree should

56:50

If you're listening to Roundtree

56:53

You should totally sponsor the show

56:54

Yeah

56:54

Just send us

56:57

We don't need any money

56:58

Just send us free pastels

56:59

Yeah just give us like

56:59

20 kilograms

57:00

Honestly we would

57:02

No one would see us again

57:04

We'd just go out

57:04

And like

57:05

We'd be in some kind of coma

57:06

For a pastel coma

57:08

They have to be just

57:09

The red and black ones though

57:10

I have to be honest

57:11

We're quite good though

57:11

One pocket between the two of us

57:13

Yeah it is good

57:13

Over about three hours

57:14

Yeah yeah yeah

57:15

Because like I mean

57:15

Most podcasters I think

57:16

Would get through this show

57:17

In about half an hour

57:18

Solid three hours

57:20

Three or four hours

57:22

Of mucking about

57:23

But that's the way it is isn't it

57:25

Yeah it's part of our week

57:26

Yeah it's good

57:27

So we could definitely

57:29

Yeah

57:30

Have some sponsorship

57:31

From Roundtree

57:32

That'd be good

57:33

Yeah that'd be nice

57:34

And the blog's doing really well

57:36

The Riffology.co

57:37

Yeah if you're new

57:38

So Riffology.co

57:40

Is our blog

57:41

Where we

57:41

So for each of these shows

57:43

We do like a little blog

57:44

So like a crib sheet

57:46

Where the facts come from

57:47

And how we

57:48

You know

57:48

Read and find out

57:50

About stuff

57:51

So that's where that is

57:51

You can listen to the podcast

57:53

There as well

57:54

But which you is

57:55

Obviously listening to now

57:56

So you don't need to know

57:57

Where to find us

57:58

Because you're on it

57:59

You're already on it

58:01

And we would love reviews

58:02

If you

58:03

We've got a nice review

58:04

We did

58:05

Someone gave us a lovely review

58:06

Of the podcast

58:07

Which was fantastic

58:08

We like that

58:09

And if you can't bother

58:10

To write a review

58:11

Just give us five stars

58:12

Give us the stars

58:13

On the thingy

58:14

On the app

58:14

Yes if you're in

58:15

On the mobile app

58:16

You have

58:17

It was weird isn't it

58:18

You can only do

58:19

The rating

58:20

If you're listening

58:20

On a mobile app

58:22

So if you're listening

58:22

On a mobile app

58:23

And you thought

58:24

We didn't suck

58:24

Then if you give us

58:26

You say

58:27

You know

58:28

That was alright

58:29

Give us five stars

58:29

Then the algorithm

58:31

Recommends the show

58:33

To more people

58:33

Yeah

58:34

Yeah

58:34

Which is great

58:34

And just

58:35

Write a little

58:37

Couple of sentences

58:37

Yeah

58:38

Saying why you like it

58:39

Neil was much better

58:40

Than Chris

58:40

Yeah

58:44

And that's it

58:45

That is it

58:45

Whatever gets the reins up

58:46

Yeah

58:47

To be fair

58:48

We don't really care

58:49

That much

58:49

And

58:50

I don't know

58:52

I mean I'm sure

58:53

There are people out there

58:54

That really drive

58:55

Their podcasts home hard

58:56

And want them to be

58:57

Super successful

58:58

Do you know what

58:59

I really like about it

59:00

I like the fact

59:00

That we've got people

59:01

That are listening

59:02

And then commenting

59:02

On socials

59:03

And it's just

59:04

This lovely community building

59:05

Where

59:05

You know

59:06

People talk about stuff

59:07

And they tell us

59:09

That we've got our dates wrong

59:10

And

59:10

Which I really appreciate

59:13

Yeah

59:14

But it's lovely

59:15

It's just

59:15

You know

59:15

I think it's been great

59:16

With you know

59:17

All of the stuff

59:17

Going on around Aussie

59:18

Over the past week or two

59:19

It's been fab

59:21

Seeing you know

59:22

There's people

59:22

Sharing what they're listening to

59:24

And there were people

59:25

At the funeral

59:25

This week as well

59:27

Yeah

59:27

The cortege

59:29

Went through

59:30

Birmingham

59:32

Which was epic

59:33

Fair play for getting

59:34

Cortege in

59:35

That's good

59:35

That's good

59:36

I didn't think

59:38

I was going to be able

59:39

To do that today

59:39

But there you go

59:40

But yeah

59:43

It's a lovely

59:43

Little community building

59:44

You know

59:44

So

59:44

And it's

59:45

I think it's people

59:46

That

59:47

And I think

59:48

Lots of people

59:49

Are like this

59:49

Where you

59:50

Probably in your

59:51

40s or 50s

59:52

Looking at our stats

59:53

You're either

59:54

American or British

59:56

And I bet

59:57

Your family

59:58

Hate heavy metal

59:58

And rock music

59:59

And you are

1:00:01

Listening to this

1:00:02

In your car

1:00:02

Or sitting in the toilet

1:00:04

Or whatever

1:00:04

And it's just

1:00:06

I don't know

1:00:06

It reminds me

1:00:08

A little bit of school

1:00:10

Yeah

1:00:10

Where everybody loved

1:00:12

The same kind of music

1:00:13

That I loved

1:00:13

Yeah

1:00:13

And steadily as I've gone

1:00:15

Through my life

1:00:15

There are fewer and fewer

1:00:17

People

1:00:17

I mean I know people

1:00:19

That listen to Coldplay

1:00:20

Yeah

1:00:20

Purposely

1:00:21

Yeah

1:00:22

And I don't like that

1:00:23

I don't like that at all

1:00:25

I like different things

1:00:26

And there's

1:00:26

I don't know

1:00:27

I kind of

1:00:27

It's lovely

1:00:28

Our social medias

1:00:30

Are people

1:00:31

That have got

1:00:32

You know

1:00:33

It's a bit like

1:00:33

Being back at school

1:00:34

Yes

1:00:34

I mean they're all

1:00:35

Dickens

1:00:35

They're all mad

1:00:36

But

1:00:36

It's lovely

1:00:38

It's this kind of

1:00:39

But not

1:00:39

Not dinosaur level

1:00:40

Oh no

1:00:41

You wouldn't turn the

1:00:42

Dinosaurs

1:00:43

No

1:00:43

No

1:00:44

But it's lovely

1:00:46

It's just this lovely

1:00:47

Little community

1:00:47

Of like

1:00:48

Passionate music fans

1:00:50

That like

1:00:51

Music

1:00:52

You know

1:00:52

Like

1:00:53

Cool music

1:00:54

And I like it

1:00:55

Just remind me

1:00:56

Of being at school

1:00:56

It's cool

1:00:57

It is good

1:00:58

What are we doing next then

1:00:59

Sepultura

1:00:59

Oh

1:01:00

We're having a fight

1:01:01

Because I'm going to say

1:01:02

Roots and you're going to say

1:01:03

Chaos AD

1:01:03

No

1:01:04

You're going to say

1:01:06

Roots

1:01:06

No I'm going to say

1:01:06

Beneath the Remains

1:01:07

Oh Beneath the Remains

1:01:08

Right

1:01:08

The first one

1:01:10

Yeah

1:01:10

Well no

1:01:11

They did some before

1:01:11

They did

1:01:12

Beetle Devastations

1:01:13

And then some other stuff

1:01:14

But yeah

1:01:14

So Beneath the Remains

1:01:15

Was the one

1:01:16

That absolutely

1:01:16

That was the first

1:01:17

Big biggie one

1:01:18

And I loved that

1:01:19

I think Arise

1:01:21

Is their best album

1:01:22

Yeah

1:01:22

And then

1:01:24

Yeah

1:01:25

Roots was the one

1:01:26

That was the one

1:01:27

That was super mega popular

1:01:28

Yeah yeah yeah

1:01:28

I think kind of

1:01:29

Around that time

1:01:30

Of new metal

1:01:31

And stuff

1:01:32

Was just starting

1:01:33

And this just kind of

1:01:34

Popped a little bit

1:01:35

Didn't it

1:01:35

I'm going to

1:01:36

Forfeit the keys

1:01:37

Are you

1:01:38

Yeah I'm going to say

1:01:38

Let's do the one

1:01:39

That you chose

1:01:40

Why is that

1:01:40

Because I've not

1:01:41

Heard it properly

1:01:41

Have you not

1:01:42

I want to explore it

1:01:43

It's mad

1:01:44

It's such a great

1:01:45

You can hear what's coming

1:01:47

But it's such a great record

1:01:48

Yeah yeah yeah

1:01:49

It's got the best album cover

1:01:50

Of any album

1:01:51

Yeah

1:01:51

No album cover

1:01:53

Is better than

1:01:54

Beneath the Remains

1:01:54

It wasn't meant for this album

1:01:57

Right

1:01:57

It was meant for

1:01:58

Obituary

1:01:58

Oh really

1:01:59

Yeah it was Obituary

1:02:01

And Sepultura

1:02:03

Were both on the same label

1:02:05

Okay

1:02:06

And both wanted the same album cover

1:02:09

Did they have to do the keys

1:02:10

No but I don't know

1:02:11

What happened exactly

1:02:12

But the album cover

1:02:13

That they wanted

1:02:14

Yeah

1:02:14

One of the Cavalera brothers

1:02:18

Has got like half a tattoo of it

1:02:20

Oh wow

1:02:21

Right okay

1:02:22

But it's the

1:02:22

It's the Obituary album cover

1:02:24

Wow

1:02:24

But they wanted it

1:02:25

And then the record label

1:02:26

Told them actually

1:02:27

You're not having it

1:02:28

You're getting this one

1:02:28

But both of those album covers

1:02:31

Like if this is number one

1:02:32

Yeah

1:02:33

So if Beneath the Remains

1:02:34

Is the best album cover

1:02:35

That's ever been made

1:02:36

Yeah

1:02:36

The Obituary one

1:02:39

Is the second best

1:02:41

They're both Michael J. Whelan

1:02:43

I think

1:02:43

Right

1:02:43

That's a fascinating story

1:02:45

That actually

1:02:45

Amazing isn't it

1:02:46

I should have saved it

1:02:47

For next week

1:02:47

Yeah we'll say it again

1:02:48

Yeah no one will remember

1:02:49

By then will they

1:02:50

Anyway so Sepultura

1:02:52

We can

1:02:52

Besides we can do Roots

1:02:53

Yeah

1:02:54

Another time

1:02:54

Yeah of course we can

1:02:55

We can actually do

1:02:56

What we want

1:02:57

Do you know

1:03:00

Because we own the rights

1:03:00

To our own music

1:03:01

We feel like Dave Grohl

1:03:02

We can do it

1:03:03

We won can't we

1:03:03

Yeah

1:03:04

You know what I mean

1:03:04

Yeah yeah

1:03:05

I'm down with that

1:03:07

It's great

1:03:08

So shall

1:03:09

Yeah

1:03:09

Let's do one then

1:03:10

Yep

1:03:11

See ya

1:03:12

It's alright

1:03:12

That was easy

1:03:15

That was easy
