I was a young kid opening up for Ted Nugent. I saw the same tour. Weekend Warriors at Madison Square Garden. He was amazing. That's when he went out in the audience, and he fucking did the whole thing. Angus would get on his shoulders. People would lose that.

That was way before the pit, the whole fucking thing, stinky people jumping up and down. That was way before that. And then I saw him next year. I'm back in black, right? It was amazing. It was like, the guy died on my birthday, February 19th.

Yeah. And fucking, you. You know, they had a new singer, and they were ready to rock. I think they were opening for Judas Priest when I saw him. I mean, I saw a priest that had to say fucking 15 times. Yeah, I saw a priest, too. And I heard that when they were in town two weeks ago, they were just phenomenal. I was there.

Oh, man, I couldn't believe it. Really? There was, I was, I went because I did the Nokia Center two nights ago with the Russ, two nights before with Russell Peters. So I'm backstage and there's like the GM. So I go, yeah, I really want to see Priest. And two minutes later, they gave me. to this fucking envelope with seats

and passes and shit so I took Danny from the store Oh yeah I said we're going to Priest and we're going in fucking luxury And man they came on They played like jawbreaker You know jawbreaker Fucking killing man

And love bites They did a lot of stuff off the Defenders of the Faith record That's when I jumped off the wagon By that time I was mugging people By that time it was Yeah, yeah. I think I was there for heading out to the highway and I was done.

So, yeah, the point entry record. That's the first time of song. And then the one after that. What was the one after? Head not to the highway. I got none to lose. That was there. That's point of entry.

Solar Angels. Yeah, I was done by that time. By that time, I was way done. Solar Angels is amazing. That's what they used to open up with. That's the one they don't remember and they came out of the boxes. They had the helicopter light. Listen, it was November.

I didn't know anything about it. anything and a friend of mine had a hat that said Jesus Christ but in the Jesus Christ it said Judas priest right and I go what the fuck is that and the next day we were in study hall and the next day he brought me an eight track of Unleashed in the East oh and I went home and threw that motherfucker on and it was I didn't understand like I was still into I was still in love with the song made is the same live that that That was it. I came home in the end. By that time when this kid Steve had given me this cassette or eight track, whatever, I went

home and heard, I was blown the fuck away. Yeah, the sinner. The sinner. The sinner. And then the victim of a chain, just all that shit. Exciter. And, oh. I let that stand back from Excite.

Oh, my God. So, I was really fucking, and I never told the story, I was really fucking depressed. It was two weeks after my mom died. It was the week before. The weekend after Thanksgiving, that Saturday after Thanksgiving. And my friends were going to go see Priese, you want to come? And I'm like, nah. And at 6 o'clock, I go, what the fuck is wrong with me?

They're playing at the Palladium. Yeah. Going to see a band of the Palladium was like going to the main room at the comedy store. That's what it was like. Going to the main room. Small? Small. They had 2,000 seats.

But it was a movie theater with 2,000 seats. And I went over there by myself, and I got tickets for me. 20 bucks and I went in and they came out of the fucking motorcycle and that was 79 November 29 1979 that motherfucker pulled off with a motorcycle and

during the center he whipped out a whip yeah and started just whipping the tank I was I left there I didn't know what to do and I had a little bit of blow and I took the bus over in those days the bus dropped me off on Boulevard East where I got mugged

where I tried to mug the gay guy I think he was gay He was a pervert, and he beat the shit on me, and I walked up that block, and I got him to an altercation that night. I got into an altercation. I got into an argument with a guy about abroad. I had bumped into somebody who was cheating. Yeah. I bumped into a guy that was cheating with a girl that was a friend of a friend of mine. And I walked past him, and I thought about it.

I was by the book that, like, I didn't like that shit at all, and I walked back. and I went off on her. And I remember how scared I was that I was gonna fight this kid. Yeah. But I didn't give a fuck. I called her a bitch or fucking whore. You know, he's in fucking a bar right now

working to take you out during the week. Yeah. And here you are doing this. And the next day, they turned it into like two days later. By the time I got to high school that Monday, they had turned it into almost domestic violence. And it really wasn't.

Like, they was all, I pushed her. I didn't push this chick. Yeah, yeah. I just went back and I go, you know what, you should be ashamed of yourself. And you,

you're a fucking whore. I mean, I just, I had a little, I had a little, I had a little coke left in my system. And that girl didn't talk to me for maybe two years. Her and the guy broke up. Yeah. She went to the guy and told him something different. And I went to the guy and looked at him his eye and go,

this is what really happened. They were holding hands. I saw them. Don't fucking tell me. In fact, until this day, that guy that I went on, it's still around. And when I go back, every once in a while, he posts something on Facebook type of Q.

and I just shell him the fuck down. He still hangs out with some of my friends. The name is Tommy. Nobody remembers that, though, how... Like, I just went off. And then years later, that dumb chick came up to me. It was cold out. It was really cold out, and I had a...

And she was drinking vodka and iced tea. This is in high school. This is how pissed off I still am. She was in Fort Lauderdale. And whenever I do the Miami Improv, they threaten me that they're all going to come down and see when I tell them no Christians allowed. Fuck you, bitches.

And they stop. won't come. But this dummy one night we're outside. I just get out there. You just get out. It's got to be 10 after 8. And I see her with like three other girls and I'm with another guy and they're like, well, you guys going, we're going over here. And she had a bottle of vodka and a nice tea. By this time, I still

hate this girl. Like I had, at this age I just hated you. Yeah. If you did something stupid, there was no, I'm sorry. And I saw her out. Yeah, she was done. And she came up to me. And she was like, she said something. She was trying to be nice. And I go, what's done on you?

jacket. I didn't know you were Chile or something. And I did something. I didn't know you were Chile. And when I walked away about three minutes later, she threw one of the ice teas on me. Just fucking threw it on my new jacket. Should I go, fuck this bitch. I saw her and she kept drinking and she kept putting

an ice tea on the floor. By that time, the ice tree was a little frozen. And I went behind the tiptoe and I took the ice tea and I poured it over her fucking head and I saw the icicles freezing up on the head and she came back and we didn't talk till 82.

And then I see the Coke dealer's house and everything was all right. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. When you see somebody at the dealers... Pull our lines, man. Yeah. Once you see somebody at the dealer's house, everything's forgiven.

You know what? You weren't supposed to see me here. I was supposed to see you there. What's up, Lisa? What the fuck you bet? I've been here, but I watched something you told me to watch today. I watched that Ari Lang on Howard Stern.

I wanted to get your opinion on two things. First thing was, I've dealt with some people who have been addicts in my life. And a lot of them are masters of talking their way out of, of trying to convince people that it's not as bad as it seems. And at that point, Arty had only been clean for like seven months.

If you look it up, it's like already, I don't know. Already does heroin and something. It's like 30 minutes long, 40 minutes long. Were you like that too? Could you talk your way out of any? Anything. Really? Anything.

And when I got in a situation, I was talking my way out just so I could get high. you have no idea when somebody squashes your eye like when you have plans about getting high and somebody's... You have plans. Sure, you don't want nobody to know how deep you really are. You would like just... I have no musical background at all. Yeah.

So just from someone who... Like, you would think, oh, I could talk if I couldn't hear. So I never thought about that. I always wondered why it was such a big deal. Sometimes if the band's too loud, you'll sing flat or sharp, you know? And then it just sounds horribly. You're like, oh, this guy sounds horrible. But really, they can't hear their self.

Does that happen in comedy? No. It doesn't matter if you can hear yourself? Yeah, because you're not, you're not going up. You don't want to fucking hear yourself. You just want to hear laugh at this. Yeah, that's right. You're going up against instruments that are in tune, you know?

Oh, okay. I'm going to see one of my first concerts. It had to be the Rolling Stones with Farina. Yeah. And the singer from Farron, I forget what his name was. Lou Graham. Lou Graham, tremendous. He sounded great live.

He's unbelievable. At that show, I saw. and whatever in the eighth grade and then uh fucko came up there and they did something that i accepted from them in the early on i was such a yesterday i was playing ball with mercy yeah and i noticed that if the ball fell out of whack mercy didn't like that what do you mean mercy wanted it to go from me to her to the mom if i threw the ball at mercy and she dropped it she wouldn't allow me to pick it up again it would just keep going she didn't want me to throw it out of again. It was really weird.

Like you lost interest? No, she was by the book. Oh, she was by the book. And I noticed that when I was a young kid, I was a fucking nerd to him. I used to drive my mom crazy with that by the book shit. Everything in my world was about it. The cop said that you're not to turn right. Who gives a fuck

what the cops said? I'm telling me. I'm in my mom. You know, I was one of those jerkballs. And I went to see the Stones, and they're one of the first bands that did not sound at all, how I expected them to sound. I like shattered.

You know, shattered on Sino Night Live. You're like, what the fuck is that garbage? Keith Richards is everywhere. He's high on something, you know. But as the concert progressed, I think they did wild horses. And I started crying. Yeah. Like, I started crying.

And the other one. With the chick singing, the black chick. Oh. Yeah, that one. Those two live with the saxophone coming in and out. Yeah, yeah. It's one of the most brilliant stuff you'll ever see. If you've got a chance to see the stumps...

It's just a shout of a word! Well, the saxophone guy died. Yeah, yeah, Bobby Keys. He died, which was... He fucking took all... Like, when you're fucking 13 and a guy comes out with a saxophone, you want to put a gun to your head.

Yeah, yeah, I get out of here. You know what I'm saying? What is this fucking saxophone coming from? Why am I seeing a guy with a saxophone? Yeah, it's not rock. It's not rock. And he sold me. Him and Pinkfoot.

You know, they use the sax on, like, uh, dark side and all that. And you're just going like, well, this is fucking incredible. Incredible. Like, they turned me around. The first 20 minutes of the stone that was on acid, I was young, it was one of my early concerts. I didn't really know what to expect. And by the end, when I left there, I realized who the fuck the Rolling Stones were.

Like, all that shit about the world's greatest rock and roll band. I don't know if that was accurate, but they were up there. Yeah. Like, they sold me on not being perfect. And then, like the song remains the same. time I listen to that, I'm like, I'm not listening to that junk no more. Yeah, yeah. Those junk leads.

And one day I put that thing on, and it was like the only thing I had to listen to. And again, I saw the brilliance. That's why when people come to me and say, well, Led Zeppelin or whatever, I go, you know what? Yes and no, but I just want you to do something. Before you make that statement again, listen to the song remains the same. Listen to the guitars on like dazed and confused and something else. And then get back to me, you can't steal that. That night couldn't be stolen.

And like I said this before, I heard a great interview. If somebody could acquire it and send it to me, it was Robert Plant on the King Biscuit Flower Hour. This is a great radio show from the set. I think it's still on? Is it? I don't know. I met the guy.

The guy said, this is the creator of the King Biscuit Flower Hour. I was a kid. I'm not a big radio guy. I must have been bored. And I listened to Robert Plant described the shows at the garden. Yeah. And I remember, again, being brought to emotion going, Jesus Christ. You know what I'm not Dean Del Rey this morning?

I was listening to UFO. Oh, God, I love it. Doctor, Doctor? Oh, I love it. Oh, the other one. Phenomenon, that's the name of the album, Phenomenon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the songs on Phenomenon?

I don't know the songs on it because I... 74. You know what, right? What's the songs on Phenomenon, Lee, please? Phenomenon UFO, 1974. It's on YouTube. Let me look. And it's also, it's not Dr. Doctor, it's the other one.

Lights out? No, lights out. It's the beginning of lights out. That's my favorite. Oh, my fucking God. Yeah. The back of my hairs, my ears blow. I put it as loud as I can.

All right, so you want to know the tracks? Yeah. Okay. So their side one is too young to know, crystal light, doctor, doctor, there you go. There you go. Space Child and Rock Bottom. Rock bottom.

The Leeds and Rock Bottom. Yeah. It makes you want to go. And now you look at the date. You go 74. That's what Michael Shankler was doing in 74. It's insane. It's insane.

They have a video up of Don Curse's rock concert. Doctor Doctor, put it up, Lee, on YouTube. Put it on the big screen. What I search, Dr. Doctor, Doctor, UFO, Don Kirsner's rock concert. He's got that flying Vee, the long blonde hair. Jesus Christ. And he's just kicked in. And nobody's got a shirt on.

I've never seen nothing like this in my life. Nobody's got a fucking shirt on. The bass player is on the floor, playing on his back. Pete Way. I'm dying. Phil Mogg was the singer, correct? Yeah, yeah. That was the singer for UFO.

Where did Phil Mogg go after that? MSG? No, MSG was a shanker solo band. Right, right, right, but who was the first singer? Grand Bonnet. No, but who was the first singer, on and on? No, in fact, Victor Mubalusion album is his first solo album. And then it was a second one with On and On, 81.

What's the name of the show? Don Kirstner's Rock Concert, UFO, Don Kirsten's Rock Concert. Don Kers' Rock concert. was a show, late night show when I was growing up, or Dean, that was either on Friday or Saturday. I think Friday night was Don't Curstom, and Saturday was Saturday night special or something like that. I can't remember which night it was on, but I never missed it.

You never missed it. Guys, I don't care how many drugs you did, who you were finger-banging behind the fucking school. Matter of fact, they've got a box set you can buy. Yes, yes, yes. Well, Rock or Obesey, Richard Prize manager who shot all those specials, on later on years later

he was the one of his job was the midnight special so either Friday or Saturday night Don Kersners was on after Saturday Night Live and no lip-synkin and I remember that coming home and seeing them

do Black Sabbath did something from Never Say Die Oh man on uh no they in fact they didn't ever say die what the fuck am I retarded I love that song oh my God they did never say die

I thought I was going to jump out the window. You know whose house I was at? Lise Ayat, the kid that got stabbed. A chance dragging in that we saw on the way out. Richie Seidel's. That's his terrible. That's whose fucking house I was at. Denise Mick was babysitting and shit.

We used to all go over there. We used to all get tuned up and all go over there in the eighth grade, whatever, and fucking watch this shit. It was tremendous. It's fucking so crazy great, man. They had everybody. They were like, you know, fog hat, Skinner. Listen, everybody.

Yeah, everybody. Except Led Zepplin. ACD.C. played it. Did they really? Yeah, ACDC and also, yeah, look at it. And you know who else played it? A Kiss did it.

Zeppelin never did it because Zeppelin, Peter Grant, was genius. He said, they'll play no TV. No, there's a video. This reminds me that. Did you guys have cool women's at kids? Like, I met, my mom was so, I was, like, she was strict, and I was just a vanilla kid. I never, I never really decorated it, but, like, having a bong or some black lights

or some vinyl post, like, that must have been fine. I had all the kiss posters, and, That David Lee Roth one where he's tied up on a chain. From women and children first. Yeah, that one, boy, that one hung up there. And the Kiss one where they're dressed as Army guys, you know, with the drums and the battle wounds, the U.S. Army. All those, man.

Another Joey Diaz story people don't know about. So my mom bought a home in North Bergen. It was a three-bedroom home. But the problem was one of the bedrooms was a converted attic. Yeah. That to any of us, we would jerk off all over it. Yeah. I didn't like it. It scared me. I heard mice up there.

Oh, yeah. Addicks are fucking scary. So I would go down to this one in the bedroom. There was a bedroom with a, my mom's bedroom was the master bedroom. I had the bidet, the shower, the tub, the shitter, the window, the whole fucking thing. Nice. Two sinks. And then I had a bathroom in the hallway, but the bedroom I moved into, whoever had the house before was a girl's room. Pink carpet, mirrors everywhere. Barbie room. You know how many times people walk. I walked in my room and walked into the mirror.

Because that mirror was, it looked like a huge room. You kept the pink carpet? I kept the pink carpet. I put like a little wolf on the floor, like this dead wolf that was like a fluffy wolf. Somebody gave me like a fur. And I put like, I had the stereo with the speakers who I robbed from the kid across the street.

But then I became friends with him. And he wasn't allowed in my upstairs. Like he would come to the living room, let's go to music now. We can't go upstairs. My mom don't let boys in my room. You got the speakers. I had the speakers and the stereo up there.

I had a Jimmy, I had a Led Zeppelin poster that Ray Canella, the guy who calls in here for the podcast that called a couple weeks ago, he had. And it was Led Zeppelin on stage, but it was shot backwards. Oh, yeah, first left hand. The word on the street was that it was a collector's item

and all this shit. I had a picture of Julius Irving. Oh, Dr. J. That long one on the door? I remember that one. That long one? There's this converse right there. Those ribbed after Jim.

And he was still playing. He played for the Sixers, but at that time, they didn't pay the Sixers. So it was like a generic costume that he had to wear. Like they took the Sixers off. For the poster. For the poster. Hilarious. And then I had the McDonald's All American Basketball team.

And I just, on the floor next to this thing, I had the stack albums. Yeah. And you know what album I still had in there? I still remember having the Beach Boys. Oh, yeah. Which one? Round, round. get around, I get around.

What were the hits? That one. I still remember some of my first 20 fucking albums. Like the first five or six albums were very confusing albums. I was still in the grabs. I told Lee a joke there. There was somebody, me and Steve Simone, you know, Richard

Pratt was basically the first album I bought. I don't know if it's something I said or the nigger's crazy. But when he sees that he sees Jesus, I knew Jesus. I met him on the railroad. That's I told them don't go down there messing with them Jews without no money. You know, I forgot all about that line and shit. I had that one in Bicentennial Naker.

Oh, yeah. And I had them hidden. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because they had to be hidden. And then I remember having the Beatles' white album. I had the Beatles help. Yeah.

I had, uh, okay, I was like a Michael Jackson dude. Yeah, yeah. So I had the last two Jackson albums, moving violation, and the best of Michael Jackson, who, Miss Pat, argue with me that album didn't exist. The one with like the bird on the cover? The pigeon on the cover. He still has the nose. He still has the black nose. That's a great fucking greatest

hit album. I still remember all these albums. That room was, and I was telling him Lee, what I would do is at night I'd play records in my fucking bedroom. But in the daytime, I had a little window. I could play them on my mom's living room stereo, which

was kick-ass. It was one of those old school box of itrollers with the turntable, the control on the other sign the TV in the middle. Yeah, remember that. It's like an all one piece fucking piece. Yes. Furniture. Guys, one fucking piece of furniture. Like this table. Yeah. This is how long it was.

Yeah. Are you serious? So it went from here to there. Okay? And it went against the wall. So on that side was the turntable. Yep. On this side was the control for the radio also. Yeah. The turntable and a track player. And then the TV was in the middle

where that thing is that Kevin put on there. I guarantee those things still work. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Those things will work to the fucking end of time. And I know people who have them. I guarantee if you go on eBay, you know, garage sales, they're out there. And you're absolutely right.

You put a needle from today on there, and it's brand new, brand fucking new. Yeah, you know, I saw a guy, Joey. He did something that was so amazing. He bought one of those, and he gutted it out. And then he put high-end stuff in there. So when you looked at it, it was straight 70s. But then when you opened it up, it was just all this great equipment now. It was awesome, man.

Like just rebuilt the insides with new shit. It was killer. Jesus, I just remember something that's so sad. And it was so sad to me for a long time talking about turntable. So the kid's name was Renee. Renee was Puerto Rican. And when he was moving into the building, when he was moving into the house, he went to pick up more stuff and wherever they were moving from.

And we robbed that. house and mid mid move mid move rob so Renee and his dad and the mother moved out of that they were like running from credit creditors and stuff but for some reason the stereo was fucking weird like the stereo was just old to me like I was like I don't want to stare at them I need some hip to get the chicks up here to be the cool guy on the block and on the corner was this place on four or five corners it's still there on appliance place Yeah. And the word on the street was you could go in there and get a Fisher stereo.

I think your hands on something. Oh, that's... Oh, it's over there. I'm not worried about it. Which in the day, a Fisher stereo was like fucking tremendous. This was before Blowpunk. People started saying, oh, you have a fish or I have a Blow Punk. I buy components, man.

Remember because everybody got real cool after a while? Component, what happened was, and this is why I don't like a cell phone with a camera and all the shit on it because once the camera breaks you got no phone for some people they can't live without a fucking camera on the phone

I come old school okay I come from the thing that once your 8 track broke the whole stereo had to get thrown out because it was connected to the fucking CD

and the cassette player yeah so here you were with 90 fucking 8 tracks what the fuck you're gonna do now the 8 tracks broken okay now I gotta buy albums I got the Allman brothers live from the film more east on 8 track

and now I got to buy fucking albums so I said enough is enough so I went down to fucking Fisher, whatever that they called, and you gave him 50 bucks down. And the whole thing came out to like 480. In those days, Lee, 480 hours for a 15, for a 13-year-old kid, 14-year-old kid.

It was like $1,200, $1,500, $1,500. Yeah, it's for a stereo, too. For a stereo. It's not even like it's for something for school. And I went and I financed it. And when I hit the number, I paid it all off. Wait, they let a 12-year-old kid finance something? My mom co-signed it.

Oh, okay. My mom had a co-sign. Your mom has to co-sign shit. But at least you made payments. You had a-payment book. They gave you a payment book. Yeah. And you had to walk down there every Friday and pay the $15 like a man.

You know, and you felt good. Like, this was my fucking stereo, man. Like, this was it. Like, I took care of this. I dusted it. I cleaned the needle. Like, this was fucking it, you know? And when my mom died, I never took that stereo.

Oh. That stereo sat in that fucking room. God knows what that stereo is today. it broke my heart because I had it tank you know when you have it tuned for you like a you buy a turntable and after a year's through the turntable gets to see your your style and how you drop the record and you learn and you get the needle right and it's uh it was a sad it was sad thing in my life for like three years not having that turntable but you know my uh best friend they had the moran's and i told maren this story and it was basically the book

blue collar Macintosh. Like Macintosh was so much money, but the Morantz and my buddy's dad bought it and he had the Morant's 2275 and a turntable, a pioneer turntable and these speakers

and we'd play highway to hell on it. And a couple years back I bought a Morant's 2275 and it's in my house and I always tell people they go, what sounds good? And I go, whatever your ears grew up on. Like, you know, because your ears grew up on a sound and that's the sound your brain

remembers forever. So when I hooked this whole thing up and I put on, you know, a record, I was like, that's, that's it. That's eighth grade right there, Morantz. Yeah, man. And they had the blue lighting and the, and the, and the Marantz had a weighted wheel for the tuner. You just hit it. It would go, you know, on a Balbarian. And that was like pro. The other ones, you had to turn. And the, and the turn and they're all funky. This one just hit the wheel and it just and man I got it now in my house. Weird to describe. It is.

Weird to describe. You know, I became nerdish about it that I was even buying magazines. You know me a long time I don't buy magazines. Yeah. I was buying stereo magazine. High-Fi mags. It's funny I was watching vinyl. Yeah, now on HBO. How is it? Vinyl is an interesting show.

Okay. It's interesting show this week they have like a slime the family stone type motherfucker I saw the picture edible and shit you know if you like music

and you like doing blow you know and all that craziness this is the show for you you know it's just I watch it and sometimes I go what the fuck am I watching but it's entertaining

you know it's entertaining to a moron like me because it's my time I was a kid all that me last week they sang a song on there two weeks ago that killed me to chick that fucking iced herself with the pills with the brother

Amy Winehouse No Amy Winehouse This is the fucking They started Oh 70s right I'm sorry Oh oh So they're doing real bands It's like

Like stories of real stuff going on It's really weird Like the first episode Is him going into Have it to talk to Led Zeppelin And Peter Grant is yelling on him And he's selling the record label To the Germans

And then the second episode So the Germans in the room, and Peter Grant walks in, and he goes, just let, you know, I'm not selling, I'm not, I'm leaving you guys, I'm not going to be in, I'm not working with Germans. Yeah, wow. I don't work with fucking Germans. They got a guy playing Peter Grant. Yeah, but he's not really six foot six to 300. He's a little short and he talks a lot. He tries to redo that scene from, uh, oh, from, yeah, where he's all, you know the man's out there with the posters.

Yeah, you see. He's out there selling posters. He's out there, he's out there, he's out there, he's out there, he's out there. man, not my man. Yeah, that's... I love that scene. That's crazy. And that's, you know, like, we just think they go off on stage. Like, right now, Sabbath is on tour.

And because of their age, they do a show and they take a show off. Yeah. They do a show. You know, in the 80s, if you went to a concert in the 70s and the 60s, these guys did four or five nights a week. Everybody knew about taking care of your throat. You had witch tales. Which, is that what they called? Like, you know, gargle with salt

and honey. Oh, yeah, which, you know, stories about the road. Old school remedies. But when you find... the real singer who takes care of themselves. Like, really, like no smoking, no this. You know, they really put a scarf around their neck. You don't know how much work goes into being a fucking singer. You know, when you do coke, it destroys your throat.

Completely. It destroys your throat. You hear it as you're talking. Do two lines of coke. They're sitting purple that'll come to you after a few years ago. I know when you're on Coke because your voice changes. Totally. What happens to it?

It changes. You get a drip. A couple lines. And it... And numb you. And numbs your voice. Numbs your vocal chorus. So all those dudes that did tons of blow while they sang,

supposedly that's why. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you who had a great voice. I never saw him when he had a great voice. By the time I got to see him, his voice was shot. Over the years, he's brought it back, and that's Chris Cornell. Oh, yeah. Not to fucking slaves and bulldozers back.

No. But he keeps it at a moderate level. Then you learn the tricks. Totally. Then you learn the singer's tricks, how to do smaller places. you change the songs around to a lower voice.

Well, does it just start going? Or is it, can it just go? Can you just wake up one day and not have a voice anymore? It can completely go. If you don't warm up, you got to warm up. And as I went to the vocal doctor

a couple days ago, I've been singing like all my life. You got to warm up. If you don't warm up, it's exactly like going and playing football in the NFL. You're going to pull stuff and shit. And what happens is

it just gets shit. shot and tired, you know? And even with podcasting and doing comedy, we're talking for hours and hours and hours, which is, you know, when you're in regular job or whatever, you just talk to your coworker like, yeah, it was at a party and then you'd work in and you talk, but we're talking for hours, you know, and then imagine singing for a couple hours, then you're fired up, you get off stage and you're on the tour bus talking, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. You got AC going. It's drying out your voice. And then you're not getting proper sleep.

You're eating like shit. And next thing you know, you're... And you add the alcohol? Oh, it dries out your voice. And booze to the fucking content. Because see, it's tough enough doing that shit. Once you add the alcohol and the booze and the bad food and the no sleep, Jesus fucking Christ.

Over. That's it. It's over. And that's basically the life you have to lead. Yep. That's basically... In 2004 and 3, when I went, let's just say to Houston, I got to Houston on a Tuesday, okay?

The week started on Wednesday through Sunday. You did all fucking one, two, four, six, seven, seven or eight shows. That's eight hours. I ate like shit, you know. I didn't sleep because I did blow out of the seven nights. I did blow five nights. So my sleeping was uninterrupted. you know, that takes a toll, you know, talking to people, not sleeping, eating greasy food,

not doing vitamins, not even breaking a sweat. You know, the time I would break a sweat in those days when I was snorting coke. It was like new Coke, new Coke was pushing out the old Coke. That's it. I had new Coke pushing out the fucking old Coke. Opening up the poor. Yeah, you really can't, eventually you get sick. Yeah.

You get sick, man. Another thing that people do wrong, and they never know this, but, you know, when you hear people clearing their throat all the time where they're going yeah that's the worst thing you can do for your voice because it bangs the vocal cords together and as you keep doing that the banging together creates like a callus which is known as a vocal node and that thing gets rock hard and then you can't sing anymore so these guys are constantly clearing their throat it's just going bang bang bang that's why a lot of singers drinking tea they're using recolas and stuff to keep their voice, you know, lube.

So whenever I would feel something weird in my throat, instead of doing that, I would just drink some water or something, and it'd be, you know, you're fine, but every time you clear your throat, you're banging the vocal cords together, and it's the worst thing you can do. It's crazy. You know, it's great to talk to somebody.

I love music, but I'm not a musician. Right. So I really don't know. I can't have any justification at any level to shit I talk about music. But when I talk to you, it's so weird. The other I spoke to you. And I got off the phone. with you and I was so happy to talk to you the other morning because I live vicariously

through you. Yeah. I was telling my friend last week, I had to like break it down to him. I go, Avills, his name is a villain. I go, Vils, listen, you're my brother and I love you to death. Let me tell you what's going on with me. What's going on with me is I love concerts and I love music. I never stopped loving music.

It was the concert experience that got on my nerves for a while. You know what I'm saying? The last few concerts I went to, I see. where it became money-oriented. It's like I tell people now today. I love doing stand-up. But this part of stand-up, I fucking can't stand. I can't stand going to a town

and having to count chairs and, you know, selling seats and I hate all that shit. I just want to do comedy. And 98% of bands that get into it, at the end of the day, they'll tell you, listen, I don't give a fuck if I live in a basement, under a basement,

and never have any money. I just want to play music, just that high. I would sacrifice all that family, 401K, to just play live music. That's the same thing that happens to use a comic game. You do it one day, and you're like, you know what, I'm quitting my day job. And people say, well, how are you going to live?

How are you going to pay Lee rent? Yeah. You know, we'll figure it out. It's $4.10 a month. Yeah. That's $102.50 a week. I'll find that on the street. I can sneeze down.

That shit. You could sneeze that shit. It's really crazy how you... I was on a light today. And I was like, wow. You know, I never knew that I would do what I'm doing with comedy today. Like, I never knew. I never really knew.

Yeah. I was like, who the fuck was I? That's why I made the moves I made. Because you had that certain confidence to jump into it. But anyway, with all, all that shit. I was thinking about you told me your itinerary for the week. Yeah. And you were talking about you were going to go see this band.

You were going to see the Who. You're trying to scalp tickets. Do I know anybody who's got a ticket connection for the Who? You want to see somebody else. And it's like I live through you vicariously. I have two friends to the musicians, three of them. One guy still goes to shows. He's a great musical guy, but when he goes to his show,

he thinks about it too much. And it drives me crazy, but I can't lie to you. I have the same thing. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? When I go to a show, I go to be critical. You know, like half of me is critical. Like the singer, first couple of times I went to a show, a live show,

was Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Frank Marino. Oh, yeah. And I went to see something else. And I remember that both times are left upset. Even when I went to see the Stones the first time with Fariner, Farner was exquisite. Yeah. Farner did the songs, how they were playing on the album.

So Fariner did everything to the T. when I went to see the stones they were completely different than what they were doing there were some songs like you know the ballads like beast of bird and shit like that that were to the money a couple little off takes but shattered and a couple other songs

are completely different than when I was used to I didn't like that too fast yeah the only band I liked that did that was Led Zeppelin right yeah on the song it's the same they took those songs they switched them around and if you're like what the fuck is this But the reason I'm talking to me about singers Is because sometimes you hear a band on your album And you go see the singer live And you're like, oh my fucking God

This is God awful Yeah This is God awful They had a lot of studio shit in his fucking voice, you know Yeah Well I mean you spoke about in the last week I forget the name of the awards But Britney Spears lip syncing

Yes What would you prefer as a fan Go to a show and see someone lip syncing Or go and see someone who just can't say I want it horrible if it's going to be horrible. I don't want fake, you know. That's why I'm there to see live. I'm there to see a live concert.

And it's a lot like racing or, you know, motorcross or something. It's either going to be spectacular or it's going to be a crash, you know. But that's the live feeling of like, oh, my God, I saw those guys. And the third song, the guitar player was just wasted, you know, whatever it is back in the day. Now it's business now. It's business. The reason why I was so mad last week watching that, Lee, was because, A, I took time out of my day to watch that shit,

and it smacked me in the face. And number two, and my man here, oh, I saw a priest more than anybody growing up. Like, I went to see him a lot. Like, out of all the other bands, I saw D.C. three or four times. But priests, for some reason, we always ended up going. And out of all those times, I went to see him in 81 or 82. and he sang Solar Angels. Oh, I love it.

And he sang it from the side. Yeah, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Yeah, point-entry tour. And he sang it from the side, and I was real close to him. And believe it or not, I could hear the energy from his voice. Yeah. I could hear the last flowing particles of his energy from his voice. And I was blown away.

When I think of music, since I'm not a huge music, I think all that matters to me is music. How important were those other aspects, the costumes, the stage, like, how important was that to you as a fan? Sounds like it was a lot, very important. No, at that time, I walked out of toll. Oh, yeah. When I saw him play the flute. Yeah, flute rock.

You know, I walked out of a few movies by that age. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the guy I hung with at the time, I still hang with him. He's my daughter's guy. You know, he doesn't have patience for that shit. You know, he never really was a pot smoker. He did that ask of him and went home and had a freak out of his house. He never really liked that shit.

So it wasn't his. That's why I kind of dug him. It wasn't really always my scene either. There was some nights, I just want to smoke a joint and just go out. And I went out with him. And some of our friends went to see Twisted's sister. Let's go down there. We walked in, and they came out and said, Twisted fucking sister, man.

And they had makeup on it. I think during the first song, we just looked at each other and tapped out. Wow. There's an incredible documentary. Documentary, yeah, on Netflix. about how nobody wanted them and they just, it was just fucking one thing after the other, one thing after the other.

A friend of mine was explaining. They become, in the tri-state area, before they are even a record deal and famous, they started making thousands on the bar circuit. On their own, no one would give them a record deal or anything. So they're like, fuck all you guys, man. And they just selling out everything all over the place and individually become the king's,

man, and I think that's around 84, that Stay Hungry record, and Dee Snyder wrote all that stuff, and fucking, man, that guy, you know, he had a vision. They were way into New York Dolls, and I never got into the New York Dolls, you know, and that was their thing, New York Dolls, it was some kiss, you know, and I liked to kiss, but not New York Dolls, but Twisted Sister Boy, there was a time, they were the biggest band in the world with that, I want to rock!

Rob! That fucking thing! With that guy on the video? What do you want to do with your life? That was 84. Yeah, I think so, yeah. All right, Dean, when you were in a band, and I guess you guys are both comedian,

so it might be the same. When you get to that pinnacle of, like, you're the biggest in the world, do you think you think it's going to last forever? Or do you think even, like, if they, like, all you always hear about one hit wonders, do you think they know, like, all right, this is probably, like, only,

like, do you think they prepare for it? Or do you think they're just delusional the whole time? well I think that if it's so fucking hard it's a zillion to one to get where some of these bands got and you gotta know that you can only be there for so long

now if you're delusional you're just all on drugs or whatever but Dee Snyder is a very smart man and he parlayed that into what are we looking at 30 fucking years right now on a band that probably people thought would last you know a week you know so to me that is still they've made it in my eyes

if you go out and you could sell out like theaters and shit right now 30 years later oh yeah that like that doesn't sound like they failed at all how many bands got a record deal taped the first album and fell apart you have no idea Lee the stories of this the same stories that go with comedy

nobody knows you see gay burglarices what do you think of gay places every night's a picture of him in a theater with people nobody goes out in the road like gabro and if you talk to gave it'll tell you the same thing this ain't going to last forever yeah i'm gonna get a piece of this wall he's very smart about it he knows exactly there's some people that go into then you have people that go into with their 20s everything falls apart when they're 30 nobody knows who they are and they still walk around with that fucking attitude now that's crazy right

that's crazy you know who i am you know who i am that's fucking crazy well you have you had 10 years of that. Why wouldn't you? Yeah. Like, I almost you almost understand why it happens. Music, comedy, acting, it takes a certain thing not to fall apart.

And some people are falling apart. Britney Spears fell apart for fucking two years and came back. The little chick, the Disney chick. O'Malley Cyrus. She fell apart for two years and somebody had to pull her aside and talk to her. Yeah. This could Justin

T. Justin Bieber, whatever. Everybody has a point. You know, Gunger Roses. I remember Gungum Roses on national television, on heroin, nodding, smoking a fucking cigarette at the podium. Like, they didn't give a fuck. Yeah.

That's my, when I think of Gungin Roses, I think of that. That's how big they fucking were. Like, they were walking around fucked up, Lee. I mean, drooling, heroin, blow, alcohol on their breath, cigarettes on a fucking building that said, no cigarettes. We don't give a fuck.

What guns and roses? Yeah. We're sparking. You know what I'm saying? You want to give me a ticket? You want to arrest me? It don't matter. We'll be out an hour. In an hour. You know, so there's a certain mind thing that goes with it. Well, you probably have to have that certain mindset to get to that level. I would assume...

Look, Axel for Axel Rose went off the deep end. How long did he disappear for? Now, 15 years. 13, yeah. 13. 15 years. He went to Arizona and was living with a guy that was reading stones to him and shit. Do you read that and grow his stones? I mean, Lee, God knows where your mind goes. Can you imagine any way you go, girl wants to suck your dick?

You go to that restaurant for breakfast, that waitress? She wants to suck your dick. Her kid loves you, the band. You know, she'll do anything for a... I mean, that's just one of the perks. There's no manual. I can't imagine. There's no manual.

Yeah. You know, we have... I would love for... You know, they talk about all this virtual reality. I would love to go and hang with Zeppelin in the 73 for... six months. That'd be great, right? And see how long it would take you to go to rehab. Oh, yeah. How long would it really take you to? You went to rehab, you fucking pussy. These people, I think they go off the deep end. John Bonham died in 79. That party started

and fucking, since he was three, he was drinking like that and playing the drums and your blood pressure, you know, that that thing doesn't stop. It's crazy, man. It's like I was talking to you about that blind melon, you know? It's like, here's the... this band that had they put a record out it flops totally and then MTV starts showing the bumblebee video

you know like hey this is a cute video and in a three month period they flop to three million records like they think they're done and they fucking crush it then the singer gets on fucking drugs and

he can't break it he can't fucking break loose they're sending them to rehab They're trying to fucking help him. They're trying to fix him. He writes a second record, which is monumental to me. Like, this record is crushing. He dies three months later.

I saw him a week before he died. You know? And it's like, it had to just spin him out. Like, you got to think, like, you're from Indiana. Like, he knows Axel. He sells three million records. He live in Hollywood in the 80s, 90s people are in the end. In the Don't Cry video.

In the Don't Cry video. At the end, was that not him? Yeah, that's him. And, you know, they were like, they were like, almond brothers meets Jane's addiction. And this guy's lyrics were deep, man. I was reading him today because he died Saturday 31 years ago.

I was like, this guy. 31? 31? 31 years ago. No. Or 21. Sorry, yeah, 94. Yeah, 94.

94. Yeah. 21 years ago. But it's just crazy to think, like, how people, you know, they just, I don't know what. grabs you, you know, you're just out there party, and the next thing you know, it grabs you and you're gone, you know?

You can't, you know, you look at Springsteen's longevity. You look at the stones, longevity. Don't tell me the stones, they don't have fucking problems. Oh, man. You know, they had internal problems and drug problems. Look at Arrow Smith. Oh, man. Lee, Arrow Smith. Take Arrow Smith. Yeah. It's like I saw, told you, when they did the album Rocks,

they were so hard. They didn't even talk to each other. They just lived in the same house. And set what time we'll be down there at three. Don't go down there, three. From three to five, I got the studio lead. Don't go down there from three to five. Your addiction takes you to this place. When you signed up for this band,

you just wanted to make records and make a little bit of money, maybe, and play and meet some chicks on the road. And here you are, Aerosmith. These guys were dead. For anybody who doesn't know the Aerosmith's story, they died in 1979, and nobody heard from them to 85. But now you're like, Joey, so what?

bands do that all the time? No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about at the time, they were the cream of the crop, and they fell apart right in front of your Perry left. The other guy left. Tyler was on a fucking heroin bender. He couldn't sing.

It was a fucking horror show. It was a horror show. And look at somewhere along the line. They were at least done with mirrors, which I lit on fire. That's just a god-awful album. I love that record. There's two songs on it.

I remember, and I threw the cassette away. I'm like, I'll never listen to this shit again. Wow. Then the rappers put them on the fucking song, and they blew up the top, and they came back with all that music. Is it my favorite? I don't know.

But I'm happy they got back together. It was a piece of my childhood, you know. We've seen all these people, and you ask yourself the same story. Comedians. You know, they go to Montreal. They fucking get the deal. They come here.

You know, this moves fast. This is fast moving, Doug. And when this hits, this hits. One minute you're doing Googles and fucking Missouri, and the next minute you're going to call to do the Toronto Amphitheat. And it's 62,000 seats, 6,200 seats, I'm sorry. And people are going to pay $48 a fucking ticket for you? And you're like, are you serious?

Yeah. And you're still doing that same fucking, you know, you can fall apart anywhere, Haley. Ego has a lot to do with it. Ego has a fucking big part of this. Like you can say drugs, But it's always ego for the internal battle between, I was just reading this thing. I couldn't believe it yesterday.

But when Maiden first got Bruce Dickinson and they do number of the Beast record, they shoot to fucking the biggest. And Steve Harris, the bass player, his thing was, I'm always in the front, in the middle. And Bruce Dickinson was like third show in. Like, hey, fuck this guy. I'm the singer. He started going over and just fucking smashing him over. Like, you're over there, dude.

And Steve Harris admitted they got a number one record out, and he's like, I'm thinking of firing this guy. Ego, because he wanted to be dead center in the stage. It's unbelievable when I'm reading this. Like, who's heard of a bass player dead center? You know what I mean? As you know, I'm an emotional guy, and I get emotional with dumb shit sometimes.

And my internal mind, sometimes you just pissed off for two days. And you go, what am I pissed off of my? Yeah. So the other day, I go, what the fuck? I'm not doing that. Let me go buy some albums. I go down there, I see 10 great albums that day. But two albums jump out at me, synchronicity.

Oh, yeah. Synchronicity turned my life run. I was in a fucked up spot in 83. That summer, I was a burglar. I was going to college. I was working with an electrician. And that album used to soothe me. I don't know what it was.

That and the pretenders learning to crawl. Awesome. At that time. And I got Regatta the Blunk. Yeah. All right. And I got the Stones and Made in the Shay. It was one of my favorite of all time because he don't stop.

The fucking album just don't stop. I like albums that don't stop sometimes. Yeah. And I'm on my way home. One of my buddies calls me from Jersey. And I had, we had been missing calls for a couple days. And I called him back. And he goes, where are you coming from?

And about, listen to how much of a child I am when it comes to music. About a week ago, his brother, the guy I'm on the phone with, His brother flew out here and met with another guy from where we're from San Diego, when they went to those concerts. Now, I grew up in this kid's shed of music, and we used to have arguments about music and shit. The one that came out of here was older, Anthony Avillo. And he posted a picture of Pink Floyd on Sunday night.

Roger Waters, and it says dogs, tremendous. And I fucking get furious. If you play dogs, David Gilmore. Better be on that stage. If not, don't do it. You're just killing me. Don't fucking do it in front of me. I'll tell you that.

And I'm driving, I'm thinking about all this shit on the way home. And I tell him, I go, you know what, Steve? Your fucking brother went last week, and he posted that picture. Fuck him. And he goes, what are you talking about? And we tell me, what are you talking about? I go, you know, I can't. There's two people I can't stand the music business.

I can't stand looking at him. And that's A sting. Yeah. And two, Roger Waters. I really cannot stand Roger Waters. Every time I hear him talk, I want to punch him in the fucking man. And for years, I liked them. I really liked them.

And there was one thing I don't like. Yeah. When he did that thing on VH1, and they talked about Roy Harper singing that part. Oh, yeah, yeah. What song is this? On money, right? It's money.

No. No, it's, um, which one's pink? Wish you were here. By the way, which one's pink? No, it's from Wish you were here. So it's got to be, it's a melody from that album, shine on you crazy diamond.

It's, um, something. It's the one, uh, Fuck, oh, man. I was weird just talking about it, you and I never knew that Roy Harper is saying that ever until like three months ago. And I was like, wow. Something weird that had to take him out of, like he just couldn't hit it. Yeah. He couldn't hit it.

An hour, Roger. An hour. How long was he going to take? And he couldn't hit it. So they sent him out. Roy Harper was next door. He never got paid. Have a cigar.

Have a cigar. That's it, yeah. Yeah, by the way, which one's pink? He says that in there, right? Something like that, yeah. By the way, which one's pink? Have a cigar you're gonna go for? Isn't that weird?

Because something crazy, he couldn't hit it. It sounds just like one of those guys. Roy Harper came in, nails it. And when Foucault comes back, you know, now they interview him then and now. And he's like, you know, right there, I just fucking, a whole thing I hate came over me. because I knew Pink Floyd just didn't break up because they were four geniuses. There had to be a fucking reason.

Yeah. And he said, whatever sang it, but till this day, I think I still could have done a better job. You know what? Fuck you, punk. Fuck you punk.

I love Don Felder. Yeah. Okay, I love Don Felder. There's a big deal with them and the Eagles that, on not the long run. Yeah, he was going to sing a song on Hotel California.

Yes. Yes. And they took him to lunch. and they take the song with Don Henley, and that cost them their fucking life. But again, you're not going to pull it off. They eventually let Keith sing. Keith Richards, when you keep Richard sing,

you want to shoot yourself in the head. You're like, what the fuck is this shit? Before they make me run, whatever. But, you know, give me the song. You wrote 18 fucking hits. Yep. What's up, Lee? You always hear comedians wish they were rock stars.

in a band, does everyone wish they were the singer? Because I've never... I think everybody wishes they were the star. Not necessarily the singer, just the main guy. You know, that's how it gets into that, I think. You know what I mean? Especially with drummers,

because they get such the short end of the stick. They got to play drums, the fucking physical and shit. And then at the end of the day, they don't get any glory unless you're, you know, bonds or Keith Moon, but, and then they, they get cut out of royalties because they didn't write the songs and all this shit. That's why I always get drummers on my podcast, because without a good drummer, the band is, it sucks. I'll show you, every band that's great,

they got, it starts with a great drummer. You know, that's the bottom line. So you got to fucking keep that guy happy, man, because the chemistry is there. It's weird, man. When you got chemistry of four guys, you can't just go like, well, us too, we make all the money. You know, it's just, it's going to blow up. That's crazy. I never thought about that, how drummers do get cut up. They do. The music business is just as ferocious.

It's gross. As any other fucking, and people think that it's that glamour thing, and you still get robbed somewhere along the line. Like, there's always a theft. Years ago, I don't remember. And I said this on this show. Somebody lived in the building that was on tour with Limp Biscuit. Yeah.

They were opening up for Limp Biscuit, and they were telling me their story, that they don't get paid on the tour. or something. On the album sales, something that I sat there and said, what? Yeah.

You guys don't get too grand or something to open up a limpiscuit. Like, no, we get like Bredeum and something else. We make our records online. I don't fucking know. I was like baffled. And you took this deal.

It's crazy. Called a 360 deal. Where the record companies, they figured out, well, nobody's going to buy the records anymore. So we're not making any money on these bands. So what we got to do is do a 360 deal, which means we get a piece of everything in the pie.

We get a piece of your tour. We get a piece of your t-shirts. We get a piece of your, if you're on TV. We get a piece of your songwriting. We get a piece of your record sales. 360 deal. And it's fucking gross. You know, it's just insane, man.

But that all trickles down from people stealing records and everything. You know, it just, the big wigs, they're not going to give up their cars and mansions. So where do you think they're going to get the money? They're going to keep digging until they get the money to keep the fucking... It's not to keep the lights on.
