Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade - Ringo Starr (LIVE) Chooses Love & The Beatles Every Time

Episode Date: April 2, 2026

Ringo Starr joins for a wide-ranging conversation that blends music history, storytelling, and pure joy. They reflect on his time with The Beatles and shares never-before-heard stories behind iconic tracks like “Come Together” and “Strawberry Fields Forever.” He dives into his intuitive drumming style, why he “never plays the same thing twice,” and how some of the band’s most legendary moments came together by accident. Plus, Ringo talks about his new album Long, Long Road, working with T-Bone, and why country, blues, and Motown continue to shape his sound.

No matter what you choose, choose love. It's a long leather jacket. You know, in those days when Brian called to say, hello, Ringo, would you join the Beatles? Yeah. You know, and I come from very early country. Yeah. And, you know, there was like the wife's left.

The dog's dead or don't have enough money for the jukebox. David, it's your life. That's from my book. Yeah. Well, we got a big one today, Dana. And we really, it was kind of nerve-wracking a little bit, but first of all, his name is Ringo, star. And he doesn't do a lot of podcasts.

I couldn't find any other podcasts, maybe a couple, just very rare. I love it. So we were able to, we were very lucky a little while ago on the podcast to do Paul McCartney, which was a thrill and then to get Ringo was a double thrill. Yeah. I will say that

nervous, of course. There's some, when you're with one of the Beatles and I know at a certain point someone like Ringo or Paul is like they haven't had it with the Beatles thing, but you know, it's like talking about something forever, forever.

But lovely dude, super cool. Looks great. And I don't I don't want to sound like Kelly Rippa, but looks great. She got in trouble for telling you, guess that. And such a magnificently huge star, and you play the drums, which I mentioned to Ringo. I didn't want to put you on the spot. I just wanted to say that someone like you will look for more things than someone like me

when you watch a good drummer, and you know every Beatle song back and forth. I think he appreciates that. Right. And because of back channels and people working for us trying to get Ringo for a long time and landing him, and then we found out it was going to be about 20 minutes. So it was sort of like, okay, what do I ask in these 20 minutes? Because I could have gone for three hours. But to your point, you know, you don't really know to see someone in person. So we saw Ringo in person, sharp as attack, voice really strong.

moves really well. So it's like, this guy is like, you know, and has a new album out, which we talk about a lot, which is great. So yeah, I was a little hyperbolic. I was a little amped up. I was trying to calm down. You'll see. I was a little, and I kind of apologize to him, you know.

Well, it's too exciting. Like, I was just, you know, I go on these things like where it's old celebrities, old Hollywood, things they sell and things that are cool. And recently there was Beatles stuff. That's such a fun. I think you have a signed Beatles album. Yep. Which is unbelievable.

Unbelievably cool to have all four Beatles on there. And I was looking because I thought, oh, I wonder if I could get anything. And then I knew it was going to be out of my range. And then they just said the ring, you would have loved this. The Ringo star drums from I think Ed Sullivan Joe. It was the kick drum cover, which was preserved perfectly. And it says, you know, meet the Beatles or the Beatles. The Beatles.

And it's an iconic kind of thing. And that one from one early, early, probably Ed Sullivan, went for $2 million or something. 2.3 after starting the bid in $500,000. Yeah. I would have been out from the get-go. And they sold John Lennon's piano that he wrote, Lucy in the Sky and Sergeant Pepper. And I don't even know what that went for. But all that stuff, it's all one of a kind.

It's all so interesting. And anything to do with the Beatles, they tell me, sells so well. So exciting. and a guy that's part of history. I met him years ago at the MTV Awards. We did a sketch where I played the receptionist. Remember that when I was doing that on SNL? Of course, yeah.

You are condescending. This is regarding. And so we had people coming into the MTV Awards that year. I don't think it was the year you hosted. I think it was one of the other years. And then we got Ringo to come up. And I had to go, why would I know you? And you're in the music world, which I don't listen to Manny.

And so he was a great sport. But I don't know if he would remember that because, but of course I did. And then, oh, you know what was show? Heather, I ran into him about six months ago. Our stupid manager, Gerbitt, hey, I got a party for Eddie Vedder. You want to come by? Eddie says, come by.

So it was a birthday party. And when I walked in, I'm on the stairs to the backyard. And Ringo's there. And I'm like, holy shit. And he turned around and took a picture with his friends. And I fucking whipped in and photo bombed it. Oh, that's right. Yeah. And then they left.

And then I told Gerbitts that we're having on. He goes, did you ever see that picture? Didn't you photo bomb? And he sent it to me, so we'll put it up. So you can see it. And it's super stupid. But great time. Also, we can say this that during the interview,

I know you love this too. When he starts explaining drumming and he starts doing it on his knees and his feet, his feet are going, and we're like mesmerized. Well, there is, it's on YouTube. There's a guy who goes, Ringo, I can play anything Ringo can play. Ringo's easy. And so he has a song, Act Naturally, where the hi-hat is going 16-timer, 94 hits a minute. It's like, and then he sings the same time.

So bringing that up led him to do a little very quick slap rhythm thing that you'll see. And that was like, oh, my God, he's got timing. I just want to put it in context for people. The thing about us, Beatle fanatics, and there's millions of us, is because, what they did in like six and a half years is still hard to comprehend and who did what. So at one point, I did, we were talking about that and then he'll bring up a song. I don't know if I should mention it. But I had some questions about a song called Come Together.

And his answer to that is really, you sort of gave me the chill, little goosebumps. Not to overstate it, but it was very cool. You'll love it because he does a little. act out with it. And it kind of says it all. And so for me, I knew Ringo was the perfect drummer for the Beatles. I didn't know the extent of his talent in the moment, like that he hears the song and he's not suffering over it or thinking much. He just, a lot of his stuff was spontaneous. And that was really cool. To learn that after all these years. And that's why we're still obsessed with the Beatles. What did John Lennon do? What did Ringo do? What?

was the relationship. We had the get back documentary, but there's still a lot of questions. So, that's one. Yeah, the get back documentary, I think if you're into music at all, it's just so fucking riveting to me that out of the blue, arguably the greatest band in the world, and then you get

to see, they don't know what it's their last album, they don't know what it's their last concert, and how they got along, intricate, in full color, fully miced. It's shocking. That was just sitting there. And then everything you're seeing, they're trying to put songs together that you know now and they're doing, like, was it something that George Harrison's working on? He's like,

la, la, la, la, la. Like, they're not, they don't know the words yet, but you do because you know the final product. And you think, oh my God, this is really how they make it, how they put it together. And Ringo, with the coolest name out there, one of the coolest names, nicknames. His name is Richard Starkey, I think. How do you, how cool is it, I don't know how it went from Richard Starkey to Ringo Star. I mean, it's like the greatest name transition. Somebody made a good call there because it's so much more memorable. I was going to ask him. Here's what I didn't ask him.

They met Elvis, and I had watched the night before that he was asked about meeting Elvis, which I, two of my favorites, and he said, you know, the Beatles were going through so much up and down and so much craziness. When they met Elvis at his house, it was, they felt for him because, he was going through the same thing, but there was only one of him. And there was four Beatles, and they got to, like, share their experience and relate to each. Like, well, at least we're all in the same hotel. Should we get out of here?

Elvis was one. He had his friends, but they weren't, like, super talent geniuses like the Beatles were. And so I was going to say that house I heard was way up on Hillcrest, and is that the house? Because I used to live kind of up there, and I was always told that was Elvis's house. I was like, is that the one you guys met at? because I was very interested. No one else would give a fat fuck. But I didn't because I had one left.

But then we kept him over 20 for sure, rudely. But he went right into a BBC. And I think that was his only other interview. And we didn't see him. And I was like, shit. So great, though, while we had him. To your point, the Beatles, when they came out there like exotic insects, and I didn't even get into this,

but John F. Kennedy had just been assassinated. It was really kind of. And then they came out with their, accents and their haircuts and Paul McCartney said they'd be in the hotel room before at Sullivan and they take out we took out a little suits you know the little black suits we put on a little ties and said there we there we are a four-headed monster so when the Beatles would do a press conference and the press would try to be snarky they would just go I just got my hair cut yesterday

they just completely made fun of them they were just like rock star Marks brothers but Elvis was up there kind of sweating and tortured by himself well I don't know exactly how to answer that colonel and he had colonel tom parker so poor elvis someone taking advantage of them instead of like three guys or four guys that are equal that are all just so great in their own way it just and the wit one of the press said uh what's the secret to what you're doing and lennon said well if we knew we'd create a band and become their managers you know that is true i mean they were all like this and wringo too all of them were just snappy funny and um anyway Anyway, it was just so great.

Yeah, we have to say, we'll throw it to Ringo here, but we went to a undisclosed hotel. We were nervous. We got there early. We walked around. And then he came up and super unassuming. I didn't know, you know, in a way, sometimes it's, you just don't know how to compliment people

have heard it all and have been famous this long, but you still just want to say it anyway. You know, and I made sure that I took a picture of the lyric sheet of one of the lyrics of one of the songs he wrote and said, that's a great lyric. And you know, and I don't know, Ringo can't go, oh yeah, you know, it's like, anyway, but you still can't help it gush a little bit sometimes when you meet people that, you know, I saw him when I was eight years old playing the drums and said, that's what I'm going to do. I see that when people walk up to me and I know they've seen bench-wormers.

it's pretty much the same thing. So they're nervous, they're sweating. But when I think he just wanted to be like, oh, these guys are funny. I've seen him and stuff. And I want to do a fun one. I don't want to get like these heavy questions. I just want to go goof around.

And he's a very light guy in his feet. So I think he liked the idea that it wasn't like a super serious 60 minutes grilling. No, it wasn't dark or serious. It was more inquisitive. But he gets, I think he enjoyed it. I know I did. Yeah, had a great time. So I think we can throw it to him.

Here's the man in question and the guy we were all excited about Ringo. We got to interview Paul McCartney. Oh, yeah. I met him once. He said that you guys used to sit down for a plonker. I love the way he described. He's a plunker. The humility with the catalog is so much.

You guys are both very humble. Oh, yes. Poor Ringgo. I thought the Beatles were good. It's a hot take. I'm going to live in L.A. I'm so humble. I love L.A. Are we in always recording productions?

Yes. Okay, good. Because we don't have a half apple better. We'll get it going. So Richard Starkey. Those are, I think, your tour dates. Love the album. Heard everything.

And I'm going to give you a specific examples of what I love. Choose. She's gone. She's gone. Heartbreaking. Yeah. Choose love. No matter what you choose, choose love.

This is perfect. Are you guys rolling? Okay. Wave of love. Gotta pay your dues if we want to sing the blues. Yeah, because you know it don't come easy. That's not on this album. You know, it don't come easy.

Do you got act naturally? Was that on this album? No. Earlier. Yeah, much earlier. Okay. Like 68. 68?

But not that early. Okay. Here's a lyric that you wrote. I'm just starting with this stuff because I love specific. Well, you know, Tibone wrote most of this record. Well, I think the Long, Long Road, didn't you? Long, Long Road I wrote with Bruce Sugar. This is a quote, yeah, with Bruce.

Yeah, this is a quote from one of the, I guess, the chorus. I don't know you guys have choruses and stuff. So anyway, don't be attached to your thoughts. Let them come in, let them go. There was a night I was on my own. I was feeling pretty low. When things have changed since you came back, oh yeah, things have changed.

Now things have changed, you came back to me. Without your love, I'm drowning in the deep blue sea. Yeah. Which is interesting. You didn't go to a dark sea. No, I went to a deep blue sea. Anyway. You know, I love oceans, but, you know, it was,

you know, just as you're going through life, you learn certain things, and one of them was pointed out to me years and years ago. You know, let the thoughts come in, but let them go out. You know, because mainly we sit around and for three days, we're like, oh, you know, when I used to sit down on one seat, 25 in here, 25 people all had something to say. And now I'm getting up there, five. And you said your playing's kind of more emotional or more in the moment or on the last album and this one, I assume.

Well, I think because it's country. Yeah. You know, and I come from very early country. Yeah. And, you know, there was like the wife's left. The dog's dead or don't have enough money for the jukebox. David, it's your life. That's from my book.

Yeah. Anyway, that's, you know, that sort of bit. So, you know, I think, you know, there's the. she's gone and things happen and it's good you know like all the early country singers

was all had a bit of you know downer in it yeah sure right but it is very very emotional but yeah it works great the album is beautiful anyway I love it because I love country

but I love the blues I love Motown I love you know Al Green and Eddie Cochran you know I was asked one time I like to do that thing, the best movie, the best record, the brain. We have to stop. I can't answer these questions.

Right. Because I say one film and then, oh, God. And then a record, I love a thousand records. One thing is run through my mind lately, you know, of course, my Beatles, the Beatles, your Beatles. Yeah, yeah. Like, wow, is what's going on by Marvin Gay kind of a work of genius? It's one of the greatest songs ever. Yeah, well, for you.

well and he sold three million yeah yeah no he's I love Marbinger yeah when you do I love Johnny Ray yeah of course did you ever hear him absolutely yeah before your time no no we go way back I was cry yeah Frankie Lane Frankie Lane yeah I loved his power so he was

like they were the last two before like groups came in and the music started to change yeah and you still have this great voice and it's very distinct and blues. Yeah, yeah. So it's all right there and I love the mix right in the drums or the sound is great, really tight. Yeah, so you like a great album.

And when you do a new album and you have sort of at your fingertips, I can't imagine any musician that wouldn't want to kind of jump in with you. Do you just call people and say, hey, you want to come and jump in on this with this? When I'm doing a regular album, yeah. Yeah. And, but this, with T-Bone, T-Bone introduced me to all the country people, you know, Molly and Billy and, you know, everyone who was on it. Sure.

And because last year with the other album, we did a big show. Okay. And we got to say hi, but not really hang out. So, yeah, it's been a really great experience. It's fun. Billy Strings is on it. Billy Strings is on both of them. Cheryl Crow.

Good old Billy. Good old Billy. He's learning how to play the guitar. He's now, what is he now? 14? Yeah. Yeah, he's a junior in high school, I think. He's on the gymnastics team.

He is fast. He is like that kind of guy. So the Beatles, these are my questions. Did you ever, was there a moment early on where John and Paul would bring in a song? And you kind of said, oh, my God, we're working with geniuses. I mean, this is not normal. And I don't know what song it might have been. There was a moment where it was like, oh, the mop top, blah, blah, bop.

And then it was like, oh, wait a minute, because it was so much. Well, I think we all changed. You know, we were these pop stars and played clubs. I played weddings, whatever. Any chance you could at Rory. And the Eddie Clayton group. I was only in three bands. So I did really well.

So did the other two do really well too? Well, they did well in Liverpool. Yeah, okay. You know, that was it. Yeah. And not outside. And Rory, we were like in Liverpool as the top band, but spreading ourselves a little outside. And then with the Beatles, we were big in Liverpool, and then we went way outside.

Graham Nash, I got to talk to him once about you guys. I think it was 62 or 3 at the cavern. And you all came in with long leather jackets. And he said that just there was a vibe in the air. Like, everybody knew something special was happening. Yeah, yeah. Well, I think that was before I joined. Do you never had a long leather jacket?

No. Could we get a long leather jacket? I haven't assisted. It's a long leather jacket. You helped me where I am today. I think I read you saw the other three guys and you said this is the front I want. This is a wall in front of me that is better than what I have. I met them like, hi, how are you doing in Liverpool?

And then we went to Germany and they were booked first into this other club. And we were into a club with Rory. And then the Kashmir, the guy on both of them, but it was both on the same stage. Oh, really? And so at weekends, we'd play eight hours between two bands. Oh, wow. But I loved the front line. Yeah.

I just loved it. Was it the charm? It was not, they were great. Just great. And the harmonies were great. It was just a great feel from it. Yeah. And they, you know, in those days when Brian called to say,

hello, ringer, would you join the Beatles? I said, yeah. I said, when? He said, oh, this evening, we were, you know, playing a three-month gig with Rory. I said, I can't leave them today. Yeah. Got to give them time to get another drummer. So I left Saturday.

I can leave tomorrow. Everybody, all the drummers and most of the players in those days, we all played the same songs. Sure. Right. I went on stage once and two, three bands gig. And two of the drummers just by chance didn't turn up. So I put a jacket on and played with them.

Sorry. And then you came on with your band and I just played you. Then you came on with your band. I just didn't get up all night. There's a great. Great interview with Paul where he mentions, I don't know if it was from the documentary in the 90s, just when you joined and when you kicked in the back. Like it was just a whole other. And I can see, I often thought like, because you have a heavy foot and heavy hands, like you have inordinately really big hands. Do you? Yeah. Well, look at these minutes.

They look big to you. Yeah. Strong hands because you really brought that. Yeah, but I hold the six lightly. Yeah. But you still have power. It's all in there. Dana plays drum, so he knows more about the drum stuff than I do. Not as good, obviously, he's horrible. No, I don't know. But he looks at it from a different lens than most people. I just love the quirkiness of the way you played.

You didn't all go to the splash when you think you would go to the splash. Yeah. You just got to, you don't do the splash, you know. This first guy to do that, and you go to the floor, Tom, a lot on the chorus. Well, I love the depth. Yeah. The Tom's. That's what I always loved that. And, you know, so the snare is deep.

Because, you know, I had one. I played for years that had a hole in it. And I just put chewing gum in it. It lasted five years, you know? Yeah. Far out. It's all so technical now. You know, just skin with a hole in it and a snare on a lot of Beatle records.

Yeah. Are there some harder, harder than others? Like, even me, I don't play the drums, but when I play along in my card, something like ticket to ride, I never get it right. Like, just, you know, are there certain ones that are tougher than others? They are, but, you know, I was guessing.

It seemed to work, yeah. I mean, you know, if you saw that huge documentary, you have Peter Jackson. Yeah, so yeah. Because he found 56 hours of unused stuff. So crazy. Yeah. You know, I'm sort of.

I called him like a year later because on Get Back. How did I get to that sort of Marchy thing? Anyway, so he found footage and I'm like, Get back to you and then he found it cut the sort of next day each other. Then it cuts you. And I said, how did I get to that? Riving. How?

I don't know. But we didn't find the actual. piece that showed me. It's just amazing when you did was that naturally like 16th time or 94 beats a sec. I mean, it was so fast. Yeah. And then you're singing. And that's just a rare thing. Oh, that's boys. Well, boys. I'm singing. Yeah. Boys was considered hard rock to me when I was like 10 years old. My brother, I had older brothers. They said, it's got this new song called boys, Ringo singing, man. It's talking about. I mean, it was hard rock. But that was an old song. I know. And it was actually done by a girl band

a girl vocal group and I just loved this loved it you know and who cares I didn't think you're talking about boys they're talking about boys I know oh okay yeah so I was hey I'm doing it anyway right yeah sounds like you're celebrating

I like this song I never know because with Rory I used to have ring or star time so I'd have like five songs and that was one of them so I could talk to you all day but there's something I listened to recently that just blows my mind every time because the leap between I guess it was rubber sole revolver in there somewhere you did strawberry fields and that that last two minutes where you're doing this marching drum and it fades away one comes back is so magical and I don't

know if it's overdub but it sounded like a marching band or I did very little overdue so you did it all by yourself we just played through it I mean, the first time we'd play it would be great because we'd all be sort of like making it up. Yeah. And sometimes, you know, you could sit there all year and you wouldn't have got what you just made. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's how it works. Right.

Pretty free. There's not any memory of mine of like, oh, you can't do that in my song, you know. Oh, you can do that. Oh, cool. Come together. Just let me finish this story. Oh, I love to hear this. Just let me finish the story.

So we're going, we're going to another story. you do just to get out of Happy Road. Yeah. And come together. And I was on drums. John was sort of sitting over there on the floor. And he had the guitar and it's like, what is when?

And so I just sort of went. Bobity, bobbotty, bobbotty, bobbotty. Whoa. And he goes. Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. How cool.

I never read that story. Yeah. You just surprised him with it. And you just did it into it. done it before that minute. Don't. Don't. When we just threw it in.

Let's set up and see what's happening. Wow. That's, you know, so it just came. Yeah. The two things I'm blessed with is that I don't play a lot. I keep good time. It's all in here. It's all in here.

Oh, okay. It's all in the star. So when you, when. That is a great story. I love that. That gave me the chills, actually. And Paul. What?

When you leave and you, I think you're all doing solo stuff, you need to do photograph and some of these big hits, do they call? Is it, you're still talking a lot? Or you can't do in your own thing? But they must have to acknowledge like, holy shit, these are rippers. Well, if you, you know, if you look at the Ringo album and the next album I did with, I just died. That blessing. Richard Perry.

Richard Perry. Niana? Yeah. It's like an all-style band because, you know, I've got the band. John came and played it. wrote a song and played George happened to come into town it was never planned

and oh he's in the same town so coming over you know and we are like Dr. John and half of the band it was great I'd like to make an observation is that you've been inordinately popular with your peers

you're just really popular I mean everybody wanted to play with you I mean that's kind of you are popular and you were the anchor of the beach of the Beatles. We saw the documentary and you were kind of the piece in love the glue. They were wild those boys.

Crazy. To keep them steady. If they couldn't sing, you'd throw them in the trash. Next. Who else you got? But it is nice that all these years people come, they want to play with you. Yeah. Well, I play on probably around about 10 people's tracks. And I send it back,

you know, send the files. it in my kit because I know it. Yeah. And I say, use me or lose me. Because I may not have played what you wanted, you know? Sure. So it only ever happened once. Well, like you said, they, the guys wouldn't tell you what to do and you would add it and

they'd say, this is great. That's kind of a good freedom to have. One thing fascinates me, I'm sorry, I'll try to be a slow down, but she's so heavy when you guys were playing that and then there was a complaint that's on the Escher tapes from Revolver. Yeah. you know, got to calm down the music. They're saying, and they're like, us, now we have to play.

So Lenin said, John, let's do one more loud and then we'll play it softer after this. But that long jam and then all that, where that song went and you guys went into that really cool jam. And you were doing this kind of, the Tom's kind of in part. It's so fantastic. I don't know if you listen to this stuff very often. Well, yeah, not every day. But, you know, things just happened. That's how it wasn't.

Like, you know, they say it's your birthday is a jam. Yeah. We were just jamming it and then it turned into a rhythm back and Paul was always great. He'd jump in. You know. Yeah. He was reading something in the paper about somebody's birthday and that's how it gave him the hook. You know, if they say it's your birthday. Second only to happy birthday. Absolutely. It's nice to hear your rhythm section with Paul when they did the reissues and some of the remixes. Because we were listening to you guys on Transistor Radio. in the 60s. You listen more than I do. Yeah, he knows a lot of me. And in Hollywood, a lot of us, we're on email text change. Anyway, I've got a new record out. Yeah. Long, long road, which is fantastic. It's pure Ringo. I recommend you go out and buy it. Pre-saltway comes out. A lot of good tracks and T-Bone.

Burnett produced it and a lot of it's done in Nashville and a lot of it's done in my studio. Okay. Oh. You've got a copy. You know, I don't have a copy. It's the first one. It must be on the way. Yeah, that's great. Look at how cool it is.

That's hip. So you're going to have an LP out. Yeah, long, long road. Vinyl. Ringo Star. There you go. This house is in L.A. It's a, well, T.

T.bone heard about it, and we went to do the furrows with Henry Diltz. And it's the craziest house you've ever been in. Where is that? Somewhere up the hills? Where is it? Do you remember the address? Up in the hills is not knowing the address. A crazy hill home.

Yeah, but who knew? Well, you look cool in that purple shirt, by the way. I know everybody talks about the shirt. The shirt's bigger than the record. It gets you in the building. That's from those days, you know, that shirt. Those days? Meaning, you know, those.

All those other days. A long time ago. Let me see if they put it in here. Let's see if they did it right. No. I want to see if they I don't know that it is

look in those other days oh oh oh okay yeah oh yeah speaking of houses but anyway oh everyone says oh man love that shit

so I say good yeah really you can't have it come on you got four minutes baby don't go baby don't go on this it's such a great one minute one minute

and in the chorus you do tom tombs yeah so you're back full circle and they're perfect. Yeah. You know, I do, you know, it's no big plan. You send me the song, I'll sit behind the kit, and I'll listen to it once and then we'll play it. I usually now do two takes because that's enough.

It's got it all there. So sometimes, you know, when we do the verse and we get to the chorus, okay, I'll do it that way. and then when we get to the next chorus, you know, I may come in like a beat late or earlier or whatever happens in here. Yeah. And I've never been able to, you know, oh, double that.

You know, double whatever. I can't do that. I do it at the moment of the emotion. It's weird, but I just cannot do it twice the same. I can do this all day. If they were, yeah, it's a fingerprint. Yeah. Oh, boom.

Oh, boom. Well, yeah. I mean, and tomorrow never knows, I guess it's legendary. Yeah, legendary. You're very humble man. But you couldn't make a mistake, then they have to start over, right? Yeah. I mean, it's kind of extra, extra.

and we did the show because I'm not stopping just because you can't hear the monitor because everyone has a different monitor these days anyway we played the gig and to a man they said oh that was great you never know sometimes the monitors can throw you off if they're too loud then you don't push it I know I know you have to go but one last question
