This is exactly right. Double Elvis. Hey, Discos, need a little more disgrace land in your life? Just a touch to get you through? Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome to Disgraceland, the After Party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode.

A little thing we like to call the after party. This is the show after the show, the party after the party, the bridge to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt. On this bonus episode, we are talking about Chris Cornell. We are previewing the coming episode on Winona Ryder, talking artists with follow-up bands that were more impactful than their breakthroughs. And we get into your voicemails, text, DMs, emails.

And as always, a whole lot of rosy. All right, discos, let's get into it. All right, Chris Cornell, this week's full episode subject, broke through, obviously, in Soundgarden, and then went to find success in Audio Slave. the question of the week this week was, what artists had more impact in their follow-up band than they did in their breakthrough band?

Obviously, Chris Cornell's career inspired this question. Now, for the record, I'm leaving off people like Dave Navarro who went from Jane's addiction to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's a bit of a nuanced reason, but it's because chili peppers weren't really Navarro's band. He joined pretty much as a side man, wasn't even a full member, in my opinion. So he doesn't qualify.

neither to someone like Ronnie James Dio who left Black Sabbath to have a successful solo career. We're talking groups here, okay? Making it in two groups, two bands is a much harder achievement in my estimation. Those artists who break through with one band and then repeat their success or then they surpass their previous success in another group, that's huge. That is not easy. So I was surprised to learn that Soundgarden has sold significantly more albums. and audio slave, 30 million for Soundgarden to just 8 million for audio slave. The boys and guns

and roses, they did not fare better with Velvet Revolver. G&R is a significantly bigger band than Velvet Revolver, as was Stone Temple Pilots. Here's one, though, bit of left field, not really. I wouldn't have thought of this. I looked it up this morning. Belbiv DeVoe, much bigger group for Ronnie, Ricky, Michael, than new edition. Okay. What about Blur and Gorillas? This, this one is shocking to me, okay? Gorillas have sold far more albums than Blur, something like 40 million to six million.

Gorillas! That is incredible. It's amazing. He'll always be Damon from Blur to me, though. Kim Deals Breeders album, Last Splash, has supposedly sold more than all of the Pixies albums combined. I don't know. I read that and,

I think the internet might be fucking with me on this one. This does not sound like it's right. But yeah, Cannonball, man. Crazy. Here's a super relevant one because we were talking about this a couple weeks ago. Two after parties ago, I believe.

We were talking about Joy Division and New Order. By the way, I know I'm supposed to have an update on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, but I'm recording this after party way earlier than I normally do because we need to get produced in advance. because of some vacation stuff that's going on, school vacation, that sort of thing. So I don't have the nominee Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, excuse me, inductee update for you just yet. But when we were talking about this a couple episodes ago, a couple bonus episodes ago,

we were talking about Joy Division and New Order as potential. They're nominated. They might be inducted. I don't think they're going to get in. I don't understand why they're being inducted as two groups. that doesn't make any fucking sense. But, you know, after, of course, Ian Curtis died, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, and Bernard Sumner

went on to form New Order, and sold way more records than Joy Division, but I'm guessing not as many T-shirts. Should sales be the final deciding element here? I don't know. I think so, because sales usually correlate with radio play, video play, and cultural impact, except maybe in the case of breeders versus the pixies.

To me, the pixies are way more culturally impactful. They've been doing this for so long, and I feel like they've just, they've touched more people. It's anecdotal, but that's how I feel. I'm curious what you guys think on the pixies breeders question. I think we have to mention Dave Mustang here, who, after getting booted from Metallica went on to form Megadeth. They never did what Metallica did,

and Dave is still crying about it, but they are one of the top four thrash bands of all time, along with Metallica Slayer and Anthrax, part of the so-called Big Four. Who else? Who else? Eric Clapton, from Yardbirds to Cream

to Derek and the Dominoes. Does he get it for doing it three times? I guess he could make the case, but yardbirds weren't really his band. Were they? I don't know. Is this the right answer? Derek and the Domino's one album

and not a very good one? This feels like a cheap win, if it's a win at all. Paul McCartney, Jumping from Beatles to Wings is worthy of our consideration, despite the fact that wings were obviously not as big as the Beatles. The big one here is, of course, Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl, going on to just have this incredible career with Foo Fighters

after being the drummer in Nirvana. And I think you've got to give a special tip of the hat to Dave Grohl for going from playing drums to fronting the band. But, but I was a little surprised by this one too. Foo Fighters have sold half as many albums as Nirvana. I get that Nirvana is truly iconic. But I would think the amount of time foo fighters have been around. I thought there was a chance they actually sold more records.

But no, it's like $72, $75 million for Nirvana and something like $32, $35 million for foo fighters. So there you go. What about Steve Malcolm is going from pavement to? the heavy quartet though. I'm just kidding. I just wanted to mention the heavy quartet. Okay, I think those are our contenders. I don't think I'm really forgetting anyone of significance, but you guys are going to let me know when I get to the phone calls. What is the answer? Okay, which second act was more impactful than the first? Surprisingly, I'm very surprised by this, but I think the answer is Damon Alburn and gorillas. I think

gorillas over blur. Those record sales numbers are no joke, and they dwarf Blur. Blur's success. I knew Blurred never sold a ton of records beyond the UK, but I would never have guessed that gorillas were bigger. I should have known. I should have known. So that's my answer. Damon Alburn. That's, right?

I don't know. Maybe you can make the case for Belbiv-Div-Vos as well, but my gut tells me more people think about Blur than they do new addition. So that's why I give it to gorillas over Bel-Biv-Div-Vos, but maybe this is just my side of the street. Then again, I grew up illegally buying beer in Boston's combat. its own so I know a little thing or two about new edition, but I want to know what you guys think. We're going to get to your answers on this question shortly, but first, I have to tell you

about this week's Rewind Archive episode coming your way right after this bonus episode. It's on. Matt, give us a little drum roll. Go ahead. All right, it's on. Iggy Pop. David Bowie fans, you're not going to want to miss this one either. Bowie's a big part of Iggy's story. Bowie's a big part of this episode. Lots of other cool people show up in this episode, too. Miles Davis, Dennis Hopper, a bunch of our subjects. So if you haven't heard our Iggy Pop episode, you're going to love it. And if you have, you're in for a treat when you re-listen to it. Coming up after that on Tuesday,

we've got our episode on Winona Ryder. And Winona is, of course, pretty rock and roll, which is why we thought to feature her in disgrace land. Winona, however, is the last of our icon series artists. And we'll eventually find her way into the Hollywoodland archive as disgrace land becomes once again solely music content. But for now, you've got Mrs. Johnny Depp, not really, but sort of coming your way next week. Winona Ryder. Okay. This all brings us to next week's question of the week when you're listening to the Winona Ryder episode. Be thinking about all those iconic 80s and 90s female starlets. And let me know if Winona is Gen X's most iconic female actor. If not Winona, then who? Drew Barrymore?

Cameron Diaz? Who is it? Let me know. 617-906-66-3-8. Heather Graham, leave me a voicemail. Send me a text. Not you, Heather Graham. You guys, send me a voicemail, leave me a text. Let me know if Heather Graham is more iconic

than Winona Ryder or Drew Barrymore. Who is it? Disgracing on the socials. All right, I'm going to take a quick break. I'll be hanging on the telephone on the other side with your voicemails, text, and DMs. All right, 617-906-66-38. You know where I'm at. I'm at. I'm at him in the phone booth.

It's the one across the hall. I'm hanging on the telephone. phone, you want to send me a voicemail, you want to send me a text? That's how you do it. Let's check out this one from who we're looking at here, the 765. Jake, what's up? It's Metalhead Monday from the 765, North Central, Indiana coming at you. You asked about artists that their follow-up projects were better, more influential, whatever, than their original breakthrough projects.

I'm going to go with Neil Young, dude. Buffalo Springfield, I mean, you know, they were good. They had a hit, right? But, man, Neil Young went on to become Neil Young.

I mean, totally influential. Great music. Decades long career. Still going. New Young all the way, man. Rockerola. Metalhead Monday, I appreciate you, brother.

Listen, nah, kind of breaking my own rule here, only because, look, Neil Young, solo artist. So I'm not counting the solo artist. I should have said that, I guess, when I posed the question. But I thought it was obvious because the group piece of this is so key. However, Crosby stills, Nash and whoever the fuck, aka Neil Young, as I once said, Crosby, stills, Nash, and Young, you could make the argument that you're trying to make here for Neil relevant to Buffalo Springfield. Let's check out the 270.

Hey, Jake, not Jack. This is Todd, not Tim, from the 270, Nashville area. But your question about the artist who had a second band or whatever impact or whatever, it's probably an obvious choice. I guess I got to go with Dave Grohl.

Does that count? Obviously, Grummer for Nirvana. front man main guy for the food fighters, I guess. Food fighters, probably not as impactful, but nonetheless, for 30 years now, been very relevant. Dave Groves very relevant. So anyway, I am going to go with that one and maybe a minor shout out to Josh Hame, who was in Caius and then formed Queens of the Stone Age.

And that's probably a reach. Anyway, thank you, man. Thank you for your content, as always. Love it. All right, Todd, not Tim. You know, yeah. I feel like food fighters are so impactful, despite their record sales,

not being as much as Nirvana's, that it's hard not to give it to him. It's hard to go with guerrillas. I feel like if you answered this question that I'm posing at a party and came at people with gorillas over foo fighters, you get shouted down. Just the foo fighters, I guess Dave,

It's Dave Grohl's celebrity. He's just, he's turned himself into something that is beyond anything Damon Alburn had turned himself into after blur. And I guess the scale, because food fighters have sold, uh, right around, that's weird too. They've only sold as many albums as gorillas. Crazy. Crazy. I guess gorillas are just huge internationally. And I just have an American point of view on this.

I don't know. Fascinating question. Thanks, Todd, not Tim. All right, 617-90666-6-6-3-8. You can send me a voicemail like Todd Not Tim, like Metalhead Monday. Or you can send me a text like the 909 who writes, Hey, Jake, Luke here with a quick note pursuant to your Billy Idol after party. I'm at a club to see a punk show.

The after-show playlist includes 100 punks by Generation X, nearly 50 years on, and it still kills his bumper music after a punk show. 909, thank you for the text. Who'd you go see? I want to know. Let me know. Anyone who wonders what 909 is texting about it's because we just have this Billy Idol episode in our feed of disgrace land. You can check that out. 910 writes, and hey, Jake, I was listening to your thoughts on Marilyn Manson's autobiography. And I wanted to mention, when will you get around to doing a 9-inch nails episode? There's lots of debauchery to be had. Anyway, I will keep listening.

Thank you, 911. Well, yeah, I had the same thought because Trent obviously is a big part of Marilyn Manson's story. There's a lot of Trent debauchery in the Maryland Manson book. I do think a nine-inch Nails episode, I don't know how soon on the heels of Marilyn Manson, but soon-ish, because I'm very interested in for no other reason. 937, Jimmy Page has to be the answer to the artist who had more successful later group. What? Oh, I guess you're saying, yeah, Led Zeppelin compared to the yardbirds, but the yard birds weren't really Jimmy Page's group. I mean, he was in the group, but you know what I'm saying? 937 goes on to say, speaking of Led Zeppelin, I remember running the streets of Boston with my

Walkman, and I went to switch out my Van Halen Fair Warning cassette with the Led Zeppelin cassette I had in the front of my champion hoodie, and it was gone. I was devastated. I only find peace with the hope that a young kid perhaps found it and grew a love for music, maybe even started playing music. And perhaps, with any luck, started a podcast about musicians behaving badly, but what's the chance of that? rockarola bill from the nine three seven bills referring of course to the story i've told before about how i got into led zeppelin which was i was walking in my backyard one morning in the fourth grade and i literally found lead zeppelin one in cassette in the dewy grass it was in its case so it was fine and i brought it inside my house and i put it in my stereo and good times bad times came on and my life

was forever changed in that moment. Had never heard Led Zeppelin before. And I don't know, Bill. Let's just say, yeah. Let's say, Bill, we finally connected after all these years. But Boston to where I grew up was about 35 miles. So unless it was on the wings of a, geez, I don't know, some Led Zeppelin-like medieval bird flying down across the mass turn pike out into the

I doubt very much that it's the same cassette, but I'm going to believe it just for the, just for the poetic license. Thank you, Bill. 617-90666-66-38, send me a voicemail or text, Disgraceland Pod on the socials. Ashley Neal writes in on Facebook, Jacob. I've been listening to Scraiclodging at my shit job. You have helped keep me sane, love the content, sincerely meant to call in and give my take on the question about the fave grunge band for the recent Allison Chains, Lane,

Staley episode but didn't get around to it. Honestly, Alison Chains is my favorite band. I was born in 1983 and I kind of missed out on them initially, but they've been a mainstay in my playlist for my entire teen and adult life. Lane's raw honesty in his lyrics paired with Jerry's guitar and harmonizing vocals just speaks to my soul. That being said, I was kind of surprised. No one gave Stone Temple Pilots a nod, even though they didn't originate in Seattle. I feel like Core and Scott Weilin in general really woven to that genre beautifully and were excellent. What can I say? Apparently me my favorite rock stars were all heroin addicts. Last thing, I've been racking my brain trying to remember a band name.

You mentioned as being rock and roll at a time where a lot of us consider rock and roll to be dead outside of the smaller scope. I feel like it had a C in the name. It's low-cut Connie. Low-cut Connie, Ashley. Okay. Another great band I've been listening to you lately, new band, geese. I'm sure you guys have heard of before.

Not Goose. Not the goose. Geese. Geese. Okay. Stone Temple Pilots not being mentioned in the top 10 greatest grunge bands. People have written in to voice the same concern that Ashley has here. I left them off my list because I like Stone Temple Pilots,

but they were just so contrived when they came out. They seemed like a laboratory version of what grunge should be. And I think a lot of people feel that way. I think a lot of people feel that way. also not that i think not being from seattle's i'm trying to say has something to do with it as you mentioned ashley stone tip of pilots remind me of like our generation's version of creedans clear water revival just like a great band but completely inauthentic you know like cc r singing about growing up in the swamps of louisiana or whatever and they're from fucking san francisco or wherever they're

from northern california just they weren't from the bayou that's all i'm saying in stone temple pilots It just didn't seem like they were grunged beside the flannel. And I guess the sound, I mean, I get it. I get it. But I just, I disassociate them with that scene for some reason. And I suspect that others do as well, not to take anything away from Stone Temple Pilots. I have grown to appreciate them. I did not back in the day.

I guess I kind of did begrudgingly, but not on purpose. All right, guys, you want to connect on social at disgraceland pod on Facebook, on Instagram, on X, hit me up. All right. We started doing this new thing in the after party last week. We talk a lot here about voicemails. If you guys want me on your voicemail, yes, me, myself and I as the voice of your virtual answering machine, me recording a message for you to have playing for whenever somebody calls and you're not there to pick up the phone. And honestly, who actually picks up the phone these days? So voice messages are more important than ever. That's what I'm saying. You know, something like, hey, it's Jake from disgraceland. And, you know, Gary ain't here right now.

Gary's off at the replacement show. He can't come to the phone. So leave a message. Okay, Gary, you fucking purve. You want me to leave your voicemail for you? I got you, all right? Listen, here's how you make it happen, though. You got to find the Easter egg.

I was inspired by Easter. Easter just happened. I hope you all had a great holiday. He has risen. Christos Anesti from my Greek friends. Anyways, I was inspired by Easter. I was thinking Easter. Easter eggs.

What can we do? Oh, I know what we can do. There's tons of Easter eggs. in our episodes. All I got to do is find a question. Ask it here. You guys dig into the episode, pull out the Easter egg, hit me back either on voicemail, on text, or on the DMs. Although this is how you respond might change because I don't know that the posting on social thing is going to work. Because once you post it, then everybody can see it. The answer. Dig get a lot of text, dig a lot of voicemails with the answer to the Easter egg question, which was,

in the Sharon Tate Part 2 episode of Hollywoodland, who did Sharon Tate ask for advice concerning her marital problems with Roman Polanski? Who did Sharon seek out for advice? That was the question. And the answer comes from this week's winner, Ryan in the 281. Hey, this is Ryan from Houston.

The answer to your questions about the Easter egg is Elky Summer. And there you go. Elky Summer. That's the answer. Elky Summer. fellow actress friend of Sharon Tate. So, Ryan, get in touch.

Hit me back again. We will coordinate on how to get you this recording for your voicemail. If you have anything special, you want me to say we can work all that out. You want me to leave something a little curated, perhaps, a little bespoke. I can do that. You want me to come up with something on the fly? I can do that as well. All right?

Hit me back. We'll get this going. Next week, okay? You guys can win next week. Okay? You can win next time. round you another spin at the wheel here okay and the question is going to be in the robin williams episode of this coming episode of hollywood land okay we're coming up with the robin williams episode of

hollywood land in the most recent robin williams episode of hollywood land the one that is at the top of your hollywood land feed right now the question is no i like this one i like this one because it's it's kind of unintentionally uh in the form of a joke okay here's the question in the hollywood land episode on Robin Williams. What did Robin Williams get from the prostitute when he turned 21? Head over to Hollywoodland, dive into that Robin Williams episode, find the answer, and hit me at 617-90666638. Leave me a voicemail. Send me a text with your answer. I guess we're still going to do this on social media. Be the first to post on Instagram when we pose this question. We'll see what happens. And again, the Easter egg answer is in the Robin Williams episode of Hollywood

Land. The question is, what did Robin Williams get from the prostitute when he's? He turned 21. All right. Now, for something totally different. My quick sports rant here in under 30 seconds, which is probably just going to be a little longer than 30 seconds. I showed my 7-year-old and my 11-year-old Major League with Charlie Sheen, basically because they can't get enough baseball right now.

And Newsflash, this movie isn't as wildly offensive as bad news bears, which I love, by the way, but probably shouldn't have shown to my kid when he was five. But Major League is a hard R, if you're wondering. In 80s, 80s ours are much harder than 90s or today's ours. By the way, hard R would be a great name for a band. Tough to pronounce so, right? Hard R. What's the name of your band? Hard R. What?

No, it's not a good name. If you have to, if when you give the name of your band, the next response is a question, it's not a good band name. It's not a good name for anything, actually, if that happens. So anyways, we made it through with Jake Taylor and the wild thing. my wife almost killed me before it was over, but it's basically one sex scene, some naked dude's asses in the locker room

and a torrent of F bombs. You can navigate through it with the remote, is what I'm saying, okay? Put your phone down, you don't have to call social services on me. I'm just saying, if you've got a baseball itch this spring and there isn't a game on or your team sucks,

you can revisit Major League with your kids, even if they're seven years old and your wife is, you know, semi-cool, and you don't mind scarring your kids for life. All right, I'll be back in a flash through emails in the Hollywood Land Minute. All right, we are back and you know what time it is. It's time for the Hollywood Land Minute

brought to you by the Hollywood Land Podcast. Don't know what the Hollywood Land podcast is. Well, the Hollywood Land podcast is hosted by yours. Truly, where every week I tell you a story from the Annex of Hollywood and True Crime, and right now there are over 40 episodes waiting for you to binge. Episodesodes on Charlie Sheen, Robin Williams,

David Lynch, John Waters, Danny Trao, Marilyn Monroe, Steve McQueen, Drew, Barrymore, Jane Fonda, and more recently, the very talented. And one of the dudes, we miss the most, Robin Williams. Here's a clip. Robin had been trying to take it easy on the drugs after Belushi's death. The sudden realization that he was going to have a son made him finally get serious about sobriety and he quit booze and coke straight away. No 12 steps or therapy or feel-good programs.

Just cold turkey. A few weeks later, his next movie outing, the world according to Garb, hit theaters, and the John Irving book became an almost instant hit at the box office. things were finally looking up in more ways than one. Later in life, in a letter to his son, Zach, Robin would write that his birth gave him a new sense of meaning and focused into his life. It also gave him plenty of new material. My God, it's a boy, and he's hung like a bear.

Wait, no, that's the umbilical cord. Of course, there were some habits Robin still couldn't break. One was his addiction to the rush of stand-up comedy and the high that he got from the crowd. He'd find any excuse to leave Valerie behind with the baby in Napa and head to L.A. to indulge in another one of those infamous all-night comedy marathons. He even learned to enjoy them without the help of mind-altering substances. Which brings us to the other habit that Robin Williams couldn't break.

Women. Robin had always messed around. In the past, Valerie would either give him her blessing or at least forgive him. She knew her husband was a star. She couldn't help the fact that women threw themselves at him. Besides, he was out on the road a lot all by himself. But after Zach was born, it got harder for her to go along with it. She resented the fact that she was stuck at home with a baby

while her husband was off gallivanding with some hot young thing. And Robin wasn't dumb. He knew it was getting to her. He tried to keep it in his pants for a while, but then another opportunity would present itself. And as Valerie once said, you'd have to be a saint to resist. And Robin was certainly no saint. God gave men a penis and a brain,

and only enough blood to use one at a time. All right, guys, make sure you are subscribed to Hollywoodland on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.

I have been digesting your thoughts on music and art for the past week. I have let it randomly play on Spotify throughout my workday. I see validity in most every point you make, save one. Rock is dead. My first thought was Blue October and the song, Hate me. Lyrics that make Howlin Wolf, Bruce Springsteen, and Robert Zimmerman blush at the shallowness of their own lyrics.

The music is canned. The vocals are auto-tuned, but the poetry is dangerous. Thank you. Well, I don't know about Blue October, but now I'm interested. Colin old Bobby D. and Bruce Springsteen and Howland Wolf, shallow. Them some fighting words. You sure you want me to get into this?

Appreciate you, Jack. You obviously thought about this question for some time. Michael Murphy writes in, Yo, Jake, I'm just wondering, what happens once you've exhausted did the Hollywood land and sportsland sides of the Badlands Archive and all access icons material. What do you do for those rare celebrities you have touched on? All three areas, sports, film, and music.

I know you did the rock, but I'm thinking Hulk Hogan, Dennis Rodman, Shaq, Arnold, maybe others. Let me know what you think. Rockerola. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Well, come on. I mean, he could be Hollywoodland. And Shaq and Dennis Rodman, Hulk Hogan. They're all athletes.

So obviously, Sportsland, man. come on I think what you're getting at here Michael is we need to make some new episodes is that what you're saying Michael are you daring me to make even more content Michael more sports land content are you is this are you are you throwing down the gauntlet

is that what's happening here Michael more perhaps even more Hollywood land content maybe these feeds maybe what happens is once once the Badlands archive is exhausted as you say once once all these archive episodes have been once again re-released in the Hollywoodland feed, maybe there's a sportsland feed.

Maybe there are new episodes in our future to keep these franchises humming just as we're doing with Disgraceland. Maybe that's what's happening, Michael. I don't know. Just a thought. We shall see. Disgracelandpod at gmail.com. You want to email me. I appreciate it.
