Welcome to the Luke and Pete.
Pete Donaldson with you on the show for Thursday,
15th of October.
I'm joining Mr. Lukie Moore.
Lookie Ma.
Watch up.
How are you?
How are you?
I've heard you got a bit of boiler trouble.
What's going on with your boilers?
Oh, yeah.
That's just the way my trousers are hanging, Peter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Classic.
No, no, it was just, you know, the old typical.
We've moved into a new house,
as people who are keen listeners will know.
And this is about to be the first winter we've been in here.
It's an old house.
Yeah, there's no, all pipes, furred up pipes.
The, I've not had any cause to use the heating, have I?
No cause to use it.
Yeah, I turned mine on the last couple of days for it, because it was getting too cold,
because I've got to leave the back door open for the doggies, very inefficient system.
Why, he leaves a back door open all night?
Just, no, not all night, that'll be crazy.
What about dog nappers?
What about foxes in the house?
You don't want that?
No, exactly.
I've only got a little mouse running around the house sometimes.
Very nice.
Look, do you want to hear about this boiler or not?
Sorry.
It's okay.
saying, I'm just now termine on and mine's also low pressures
I've got to sort that out. Yeah, so, go right.
Do you reckon they just, do you reckon they
sort of sink into low
pressure mode when they've gone so long without being used?
I think they must be, isn't it just
like airing the old
central heating? Yeah, because that's do the old
key on the pipe to get
the pressure back up. So the people that sold
us the house left us with what
we think is a defunct
hive system.
Right. So what you're going to do
is, and it took a little
bit of a mucking about to work this out but what you've got to do is you've got to
essentially tell the boiler to override the hive system by pressing a
quite a complicated selection of buttons
is it like the canami chord up down a friend yeah it's a little bit like so you
to get the boiler to override the hive system you've got to do left right left
right up down up down square circle x triangle yeah and then it does um chunley spinning bird kick
and that's when you know the boilers working
but anyway so ultimately when we first moved in
just out of due diligence because we moved in until May
and we just checked it and it seemed to work fine
so yeah I was just wrestling with it this morning
but it's quite emasculating not being able to fix something
but I actually was able to fix something this morning
so that's good
it's more just like I don't know why boilers
you know it's got a little dial on the front
that says I've got low pressure
why can't you just fill up yourself
you've got gaskets and
valves that you open and close
when needed, why don't you fill
yourself up? Yeah, also, and you cost about four grand?
And you cost about four grand?
Tell me something else that cost that much money
for that's a little bit of equipment that you've got to
they're on pressure.
Maybe there's someone in the boiler industry
who can tell me that
you know, it's actually, there's a very good
reason why that can't happen and I'll go,
no, I'm a disruptor, you're fired.
I'm the dodged of the boiler industry.
Mostly in his own house.
Yeah, exactly.
But I'll fix it, mate, so I'm feeling pretty smart about that.
Good.
You came halfway towards telling me a story about your own boiler,
which I'd like to hear now, please.
I just need more pressure.
My daughter in anger pushed a glass, how is it called?
Glass shower screen.
No, Daddy, and hit the shower screen,
and that just fell off the wall.
That, I kind of wish it.
Clearly, very strong.
But actually, it's a two-part question, Peter.
A, how strong is she?
And B, how poorly fixed was it?
Again, I didn't do it, but it was, yeah, just fell off the wall.
I bet there was part of you that was like, great, that's going to have a job for me to do.
How lovely stuff.
Was it?
There was a little bit where he sort of went, I've been looking at those kind of wood screws.
They basically just jammed wood screws in this fucking plastic monstrosity.
And I'm like, that's going to fall off at some point.
But I kind of wish it had just exploded in a shower of glass as long as she wasn't hurt.
I kind of wanted it to be more spectacular.
it's sort of go, that's what happens when you take your anger out on things instead of doing a
teachable moment.
So basically you wanted to be like when Shaq slam dunked in the NBA and smash the old glass
green.
Exactly, yeah.
But that would be dangerous though, wouldn't it?
That would be dangerous.
Well, yeah, exactly.
But, yeah, I tend to find that people who can't control their emotions, there's never any
comeuppance for them.
You see videos all the time.
People smash and their plates off.
The amount of videos I get served up online now of bullies,
getting beaten up.
Yeah.
There's good ones.
There's good ones out there.
A lot of good stuff.
I try to think the one that recently
enchanted me.
They're all over the place.
But it's always like secret old man boxer
puts a kid on his ass.
I love that sort of stuff.
Or this kid,
it's probably all bollocks, but like,
this kid was getting bullied all year at school,
but his bullies didn't know
Tuesday and Thursday night.
he'd been training an MMA gym
They just decimates all of them
Because I think we probably relate to it
Because that's not something that happened in our world, is it?
No, exactly.
There was never any point where I sort of basically went to the ground
To basically flip.
There's just a lot of, with the UFC trade lot
The things that seem to sort of work
They're never the punches.
Were you a ground and pound kid at school?
They're the lift you up in the air
And smash your head on the concrete kind of things.
You know what I mean?
They're like, if you can get it.
underneath them and flip them like a Mario Tortoise turtle, that seems to be the way to win a fight.
It's never the punching, because no one can punch.
No, you really do realize how good professionals are at punching when you see a fight in real life.
Yeah.
Because it's something about throwing a punch that completely knackers out a normal man.
Like, you could only, a normal man could only throw like two or three.
Yeah.
before they go.
Yeah, before they're absolutely
gross.
And all of a sudden
their t-shirts
half over their head,
their ass cracks out
because their jeans are halfway down there are.
They're getting knead in their head.
Yeah.
They always end up underneath
the front wheel of a car.
There's also,
with their heads
perilously close to a wheel of a car.
There's also an amazing moment
when both of them
hit the deck
and there's like a half a second
where they both,
neither of them know
whether the fight's over or not.
They have to wait for the other one
to make them,
oh, we're still going.
Oh, we're still going.
Oh, I did see,
I did see one.
I did see like a road rage incident
and I think in Nottingham sort of way
where just two blocks
just get out of the car
and just have a scrap.
Again,
none of them are at that kind of fighting
but they just basically,
they do everything
but shake hands
and then get back in their cars
just had their little fun for the morning.
That's done. Get out of the system.
That's done, yeah.
You know, that makes me proud to be British.
I got told off
for doing a big swear in the car
in front of the boy.
Right.
See?
C or an F?
Yeah.
It was, it was,
Someone just massively cuts up in quite a dangerous way.
Yeah.
A cunting fuck.
An Fing W.
I momentarily forgot the boy was in the car.
Well, so did they, clearly.
The Wi-Fi Vax was more annoyed with me than she was the person who'd almost killed.
Show you the hierarchy of the marriage.
Yeah.
Yeah, my daughter went out of nowhere.
Oh, Jesus.
Did she?
That's definitely come from you.
100%.
You do that all the time.
That's a Donaldson.
That's a Donaldson rather than a champion.
unfortunately.
Yeah,
but did you get in trouble for that?
Uh, no.
Uh,
no,
my partner laughed for too long.
I said,
you can't laugh.
He can't laugh.
He's not supposed to reference it.
Yeah,
we're good.
Yeah,
well,
all right,
I've done the damage.
Let's,
let's,
let's,
let's,
let's not,
you know,
it's supposed to pretend
like nothing's happened,
though.
I know,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
Marcus's kid,
I had an F word in him,
I think,
like,
like,
like a lot later in life,
because he clearly heard it
the school yard and Marcus found it very hard to deal with like you know
the school yard well I don't know I don't know he heard it I think and he used it
and Marcus could not stop laughing but he just got he just got to go on it together haven't you
it's going to happen to all of us I mean I'm very diligent generally about not using foul
language around my son yeah which will probably surprise people who listen to my output but
I'll tell you what my yeah yeah but I tell you what helps accent if you got a slightly
strong accent.
Yeah.
So has your daughter inherited your accent, or is she...
No, every now and again, you'll hear like a word that she'll use and you're like,
okay, right, that's a bit of me that, but it's usually...
It's never, it's...
Cork, Coca-Cola?
Coca-Cola, she goes to Coca-Cola.
But you're not letting your three-year-old drink Coca-Cola, are you?
No, but she's familiar with it.
Because I'm drinking it.
Daddy's Coca-Cola.
Just walking around going, always
Coca-Cola.
Yeah, exactly.
By the way, I can't,
I'm in a bit of a rock and a heart place here
because if I wanted to complain
about my lovely new house,
which I love and I'm very happy to be here,
but of course it's an old house,
there's things that could be better.
Yeah.
I can't really complain because the person
I bought the house from
is not only a friend of mine,
but a very keen ramble listener.
Oh, see.
And possibly a Luca Pitcher listener for all I know.
Well, hang on, you bought the house
was somebody you know.
Well, I only got to know him through the process
because we only moved two streets away.
Right.
And we had lots of mutual friends.
Terrible.
Terrible dynamic.
What an awful dynamic.
Well, it was tough,
but it was lesser two evils
because when it became difficult
and we thought the chain might collapse,
we kind of had to get our heads together
and come up with a solution together.
And we've got a son the same age.
Was it a lintel-based issue
that was possibly going to collapse?
May or may not have been a little-
issue.
You know, you remember?
I'm quite touched.
You remember that because that was like six months ago.
I just think,
when things annoy me like that,
they really stick in my...
Because I don't have enough kind of things going wrong in my life.
I have to adopt and absorb some of yours.
It was so...
Fucking lintel.
...for such a short but intense period of time.
It can't leave a stamp on your brain, right?
Yeah, that was a whole other thing.
But anyway, overall, very happy with the home we've got.
Good.
The home you have access to.
So, yeah. And then...
And so the weekend just gone.
I was in the Lake District for a few days.
You were,
you sent me a picture
rather alluring Boudoir photo
of you in a robe.
That was the spa.
That was the spa.
I was having a really good time
because on the fantasy football group
I'm on,
the draft fantasy football group
when you play against other players
each week.
I was playing against someone
who is getting really annoyed.
And every time
they've taken the group
how annoyed they were about how
that team were performing, I was just sending a photo
being a robe in the spa.
You can't, you shouldn't be bringing.
Doing this, God, just going,
hmm, like that.
But you shouldn't be bringing the fantasy football
draft league into your
into your spa experience.
That's, you know, that's what,
it's not what spars for, you've got to be relaxing.
Can't be thinking about buying.
But I wasn't actually in the spot of the time.
I'd just take in the video and I was just sending it.
I see.
But also, when you're on holiday, away from
you get a little break away for a few days.
Surely you want to be doing whatever you want to do, right?
What, and you want to be signing?
I wonder what football matches.
Why, in my head, the only football I can think of is Pappy C-Sys.
I mean, that's not too surprising.
No, I guess not.
He's just signed for a non-league, not a non-league, but like, yeah, I think a non-league,
sort of past masters kind of non-league side.
Isn't he in that team that load of players are at?
Run by Stephen Island.
Yeah.
I think his wife said that Stephen Island's working harder than he did when he was in the Premier League.
And as a Newcastle fan, I very much concur with that statement.
He's definitely playing for some team based in England, isn't he?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think Stephen Island runs it.
And he just gets his old mates and colleagues to...
Because I saw the line-up of one of the games.
And is it Withenshaw he plays for?
Yes, yes.
And I saw the line up of one of the games, and it's absolutely ridiculous.
Because he scored, like, they won.
like something like 11
0 and he scored 7
it's like what's the point of that
like he's playing like some veterans
he basically playing against
villain over 50s man yeah exactly
how's that going by the way
uh got a draw
he's got a decent draw to all
at the weekend which was but then
but the night before
I'd gone out with my London
team from 15 years ago
perfidious Albion
oh yeah how they're getting on
I've turned out for them once or twice
they've um they went um
They disbanded some time ago.
But it was nice to see everybody.
Everyone kind of looked the same.
There's a few grey hairs here or there.
But I think because none of us lost our hair,
we kind of looked, we didn't look kind of the same.
But 15 years ago, you know, 15 years,
I was treating my body quite badly.
The best player was bald.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean the best player was bald?
The little fella used to play at front.
Little fella, I don't remember that guy at all.
Little bald fella.
I don't remember any little bald fellas.
He was great.
Right.
Well, it was only five.
as we turned up so I mean
it's a fight of the side side
who was it you
Jeff
didn't turn up no
I thought Jeff ran the thing
he did run the thing
but he goes
people sometimes aren't available
Jeff Trav
the archaeologist
he wasn't available
who who played
who turned up
I mean
Kristenan
Ash the Bash
Ash the Bash
Ash the Bashe
Alex the Vap Enthusiasm
Alex the Vap Enthusiasm
The Old Monster
A lot of them yeah
So basically it was just
you and how
having a drink was it
Uh no
well yes
but yeah
and al's basically
said it's a
for this
family's having
a reunion
so we can get out of
the house
that's what's
me and him
yeah
we got there
in the end
got there in the end
so basically
anyway
when I was at
the lake
district
I climbed
cat bells
have you ever
done that
now
you know me
I don't know
what a cat bell
is sounds like
the sort of thing
you'd give a cat
if I'm honest
it's a name
of a
it's a name
of a mound
is it
the name of a mound
a fell
Okay, right.
What is a fell?
Like what separates it from a ravine, a hill?
What is a fell?
So a fell, I think, is a Cumbrian word for hill or mountain, I guess.
The thing is, they're not really mountains.
They're great, and they look amazing,
and the views are fantastic,
but the kind of scale of them is relatively modest.
Right.
This one's only like 450 metres,
but you've got to do a good bit of scrambling, which is decent.
What's scrambling?
kind of like what you sort of put your arms out and yeah you have to be on your kind of
hands and feet and pull yourself up stuff right well that's all right i i don't like it when
you know when it's wet wet grass uh yeah you have to slide but you have to slide down your bum
basically slide about a bit but it's busy i mean when it's a busy old um climbed that
it's lots of fun and the view up at the top was brilliant we did in a couple hours it was it was great
though i've recommended it's a classic wayne wright fell mate
Yeah. But I don't know what happens when, but I mean, presumably your bairn can't do it. So like that, you've got to kind of plan that.
The boy was staying with his, um, his aunt. Oh, fantastic. Nothing better. Nothing better.
Not taking a three-year-old to a five-star fucking spa hotel.
A five-star fell. And they're climbing up a mountain.
Some of them, some of the spa places have, some of the spa places have kids sort of sections where, well, so in that place we stay there.
You can have kids and dogs in the hotel, but not in the spa.
Right.
Why can't those places have like a little, you know, a little childcare area?
I'm sure, presumably they have them for, you know, parents who just want to chill out a bit.
Yeah, there's people like you that ruin places like that.
Why? What, bringing kids?
Yeah.
Yeah, but we don't have.
The only person that can look after daughter is, daughter, is Sarah's brother.
And they have miles away.
Yeah, so obviously it's not always easy for everyone to get childcare.
But I don't think, yeah.
But I don't think that's an excuse to be taking.
Because when we took our Simon holiday to Lanzarotti a while back,
we went to like a family hotel.
That's fine.
But you shouldn't be taken, in my view,
you shouldn't be taking like a three-year-old to basically an adult-only spa.
No.
And then say, well, I'm going for childcare.
So what do you want me to do?
Well, not come.
That's what I want you to do.
Go somewhere else.
This isn't for you, for crying out loud.
Yeah.
But it's dog-friendly as well, though, so you could take the house.
Yeah.
I've, I just went to get my, get some butter and some blueberries.
I've got a cup of blueberry.
I'm drinking, I'm drinking blueberries out of a minions, Minions cup that I got from the cinema.
That's classic. That's classic breakfast.
And the, and I left Sammy outside the Cisternsbury's to get the blueberries and the butter,
the major food groups of modern life.
And he was absolutely fine.
He used to be the sort of dog to sort of be barking his head off and stuff, but he's absolutely fine now.
so just got to watch out for dog nappers and then I'm you know I think I think we'll get I think
we're creating the perfect dog um he did poo on the mat earlier today I've just remembered that
actually yeah I just walk up to a bit walk up to poopy nappy and poopy dog and just just
waking up to what poopy nappy is is is rare uh it's I tell you why because uh I was doing other
stuff we did toilet and then doing other stuff she's just not getting the she's not not getting the
signals. The stomach just isn't, I don't know.
I just, I just, I spoke about it.
There was this big thing on the BBC, I think,
where it said about,
there's a government initiative about getting kids to
do potties.
The problem is everyone works all the time
and so a lot of the childcare is done
by nurseries and child minors, and if they're not
doing it, it's really hard to build any kind of...
This is a classic Donaldson past the back this.
It's not. How can it possibly
be my fault? She does it all the
poo's not on my watch so I can't I cannot
I can only manage the weekend poopies that's all I'm saying
it's not passing them up I'm just concerned
that just gonna get through it just go get through it
you know I's the way I say it's much like it's like GCSEs
please pull it by the bootstrapes you can't get around it you just got to do
him I think you just got to do him mate and I think we're in the same
position what what what can I do I keep on
trying to have past not pasag but I go to
the nursery and go remember lots of poop
today and I'm not talking to my daughter. I'm talking to the nursery staff. You know,
there's plenty of toilet time, please. Because she always comes on with a big wet nap here. I'm
like, she's not gone to the toilet enough. Oh, God. This should be a WhatsApp conversation.
Sorry, everybody. I'd rather go through a, I'm not talking about this on WhatsApp with you.
Fuck it now. You would rather go through this hell than actually have a firm and frank conversation
with another human being. That's your problem. Yeah, well, now I've said, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not,
family.
Such a cop out.
Such a cop out.
I'm not bad on email.
I'll email it.
I know,
but you see the,
AI to write an email.
You see the dickhead dad's
at the fucking front of,
at the door every morning
just sort of being really overbearing.
You know,
just taking up all the time
of the nursery staff.
What are they saying?
They're just fucking,
oh, he's had this
and he's had that,
and he's been quite sleepy,
so make sure he's,
and so, just give over,
mate.
He's a nightmare.
He's a lot.
My son runs.
straight in, doesn't look back and I'm off.
And I've got friends, I told
this before. Enjoy your race Krispies, son.
Enjoy them. I've got friends who
after a pretty testing
weekend,
have dumped their kid in nursery
and just turn their phone off till 5pm.
Which to me is so irresponsible.
Do you not do that? Do you not get the
fear? Do you not get the fear?
Do you not get the app? Do you not get the app?
There's not for everything nowadays. They're always
really bad. They're like parking apps,
nursery apps. They're just
absolutely rubbish. Where's our
three million pound deal with
who had the
dad podcast that turned it to a football
podcast pretty quickly because they got bored
and talking about being dads. Who was that?
Oh, the man
of the speech impediment
Josh Whitigam and
who else was it? Was it Rob Beckett? I can't remember.
Oh, okay. That's at a football show now.
I think they've started doing a football side
project and it's upset everyone who listened for the um for the for the the child care stuff and
Josh is getting a lot of stick about strictly isn't he is he yeah is it just something new
other people's um he's mouthed the words for other people's auto cues apparently right i mean that is
i mean that that is that's your basics that's not befitting that's not befitting of a BBC one
prime time show on the saturday night like that yeah but like i mean there's nothing i mean you had a doddery old
block until he passed and he had a woman who
barely see out her own eyes.
She's probably got lots of notes under them. Wincommon's royalty
now though, isn't she? Wincommon's royalty now, yeah.
But like she can
she'll never age because
none of her face is visible to anyone.
She's got a hell of a tan.
I think it goes under the radar how
and obviously it's not befitting to be
talking about other people's appearance, particularly when you
look like us, but it is strange
how odd she looks.
And no one notices it.
But I think it's strange how
If you listen
If you watch her when she used to be on TVM back in the 80s
She had a very plummy
Very very very posh voice
Right
And she's very much sort of damp that down over the years
And she's had like Marina Hyde
She had a very sort of posh
But sort of a posh very very very posh
I think she used to the royal stuff
Marina Hyde's the same
I didn't know how posh Marina Hyde was
Because she's so good at hiding it
I'm not sure she's hiding it
maybe she just doesn't speak in that kind of way
but she is from
She's the rest is the gold hangar
woman, she's in the rest of entertainment
Right, I see
But she is proper
properly aristocratic
I mean I'm not just saying oh she went to a private school
She is the daughter of Sir Alistair
Edgham James Dudley Williams second baronet
Like she is from the landed gentry
her grandfather
is, I think was one of the
first people to pioneer
like jet engines
in aviation or something.
She's from the upper crust
and I would never know
and her name's not Marina Hyde either
so she's obviously moved away
from that kind of thing
for, I mean, I guess for our own reasons
but her name is like
Marina Elizabeth Catherine Dudley-William
Why do these people have so many names?
Giz her name. Oie, Gizernem.
What do you got to?
Gizern-em.
In the Roman Empire, it was your, the amount of names you had was linked to your achievements and your social status, wasn't it?
Right.
So if you went to, if you were Pete Donson, right, and you've just called Pete S Donaldsonous, right?
Yeah, right.
And then obviously you led an army in North Africa and an amazing victory.
Right.
You would then come back and then the emperor would be, like, you're now Peters, Donaldsonous, North Africanus, Maximus or whatever.
Nice.
I like that.
The more you achieved.
the world names you had.
But could you achieve that as like a common,
I don't know, running a brothel or cleaning the toilet or something?
Weren't they fairly egalitarian for that kind of thing?
Well, yeah.
Oh yeah, I don't know.
I know nothing for the Romans.
I mean, obviously you've got a situation where
in this country, in the First World War,
obviously people were buying commissions and stuff.
It was aristocratic officer class and stuff.
But I do generally think in the services,
like the armed forces, if you're good,
you can pretty much,
It's quite meritocratic, isn't it?
Yes, yeah.
I think your face has to fit, though, I suppose, but yeah, I think so.
What rank do you think you could advance to if you were in the army?
I'd be, I would, I think I'd go one better than me dad.
I don't know what I'd love.
And then stop there.
And then stop there.
Sorry, petty officer Donaldson, who's petty officer.
I don't know that's particularly high up.
But you look cool.
There's the pictures.
He did like Marky Smith.
Which is pleasing.
Yeah, mm, yeah.
And I'm not really a fan of Marky Smith, but I, uh...
No, I'm not really.
There are a lot of bands
Have you seen
I was just a wrestling nonsense
And one of the wrestler
Women was married to one of the blocks
In The Misfits
And you know I like Glenn Danzig
Just kind of
He'll just get good looking body boys
To be in his band
Tragal, but he always gets
The big hunky lads around
Yeah always get the big hunky lads
To come in a group
Playing this band
Yeah exactly
Exactly
And it's just funny
That there's just so many different
The names of
of the members of the misfits,
misfits band.
There's the body ones
and then there's the non-body ones,
and the non-body ones have funnier names than the body ones.
The ones that are currently in there now,
Glenn Danzig, Jerry Ornley,
Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein,
Dave Lombardo and A.C. Slade.
The past members include Mr. Jim,
Jimmy Battle, Diane DePatia,
Mani Martinese,
not funny, French Comer,
Bobby Steele,
Joy Image, Arthur Googie, Robo, Brian Damage Keats, Dr. Chud.
Dr. Chud.
McCall Graves, Mike Hiddeus, Marky Ramon, from the Ramones.
Of course.
Descartana, Cadena, just chupacabra, Mark Rizzo and Jerry Over.
It's a good set of names.
Jerry only has always been the Misfits, hasn't he?
He's the bass player with the big hairstyle.
Yes, yeah.
I had no idea Dave Lombardo is in the Misfits now.
He's a drummer from Slayer.
He's fucking amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People just sort of help out, I suppose, don't they?
I do think it's a drumming and certainly like thrash metal or, you know,
speed metal or anything that's got a bit of pace to it.
That's a young man's game, in it?
I think, I often think that.
I often think that, so obviously Dave Lombardo is a legend in metal drumming and he played
on Havana.
Oh, was he really Cuban?
I didn't know that either.
He played drums on Rain and Blood, which is the best Slayer album.
and and um but yeah as you get i mean the things people give a lot of stick to larz o'urick about that stuff
don't know they say like larz is it was never really that good of drummer and now he's um he's
um you know he's just parodied all the time online you know you see decent drummers who are like
content creators doing like this is what um you know fucking all the small things where bloop one eight two
would sound like if larz o'rick was drumming it and but is that not just that his shitty drum sound
he did for St. Anger.
Death Magnetic was the worst drum sound, I think.
Right.
It just sounded like he was hitting a potato.
The snare drum.
Yeah, there's a...
I've got a friend who collects a playlist on Spotify
of the worst snare drum sounds in music.
And I think there's quite a few metallic songs there.
But yeah, so you're right.
Death Magnetic had the weird loudness issue
where it was mixed really weirdly.
That's right.
It was mixed for like the wrong thing.
It had a really tinny snare drum sound, didn't it?
Mixed for a car or something, yeah.
And then Kirk Hammett
in the some kind of monster documentary
which is brilliant
Kurt Hammett spends all his time
sulking because they won't let him play solos
because they all decide that solos aren't fashionable
and he's like, this is bullshit man
why are we got to do what's fashionable
this is bullshit like
but Lars has always been
been criticized and I
someone who I know who's a big drummer
in music and who is not quite a household name
but people would know who he was
said to me once that
at a first time I may have told the story
before, but a long time ago.
But he was at a festival
and his band were headlining,
I think one of the smaller stages
and Metallica were headlining
the main stage.
And so,
or they were on the former tackle,
something like that.
Anyway, he said,
the long story short is that he ended up
watching Metallica from the side of the stage.
And he said,
he's never seen a drummer
holding on by his fingernails
for an entire set so much before in his life.
He was awful to watch
because at any time it looked like it was going to fall over.
because obviously the drumming is like the foundation of the whole thing
and he's like it's it was just bananas how much
Ulrich was like hanging on for dear life
but I think what probably happens though Pete
and obviously you're as musically educated as I am
I think what probably happens is that the band just learn to play with him
so they learn that's how we play it's
yeah you know it's like playing with a you know particularly
you know a passable backline kind of defence
isn't it? You know exactly what he's going to do at any
moment and therefore it works.
I feel a bit seen.
Apart for the fact that it didn't work.
But yeah, so Larser's pretty well parody.
But Lombardo's a legend.
Lombardo's an absolute legend in the space.
Yeah. I've got
an album recommendation for you
that I think I want to listen to it.
I took the dog, I took Sammy for a walk
and I just stuck on an album
that I'd not listened to in about
God, 20 years probably.
I know what you were thinking.
What if this dog walk was pop punk?
Well, it is pop punk.
It is a little bit pop punk.
What is it?
But it's a...
In the same way that someone said
all Kiss albums are concept albums
and the concept is what if Kiss was shit.
You're familiar with Coyd and Cambria?
the album in Keeping Secrets of a silent earth three
it's a fucking album it's a really good it's their second studio album
yeah and i was just known i was like you know what
this is silly and stupid and it's every and it's i think it's about a war or something
a sparse war um one of the songs did sound a little bit like uh that carlos santana
smooth song but other than that um every second song is a banger
And it's a bit of a journey.
It's the one with flagged Red Summer on it,
which was a big MTV 2 song back in the day.
And a favour house Atlantic as well.
But the rest of them are really good.
And it starts with the kind of...
Oh, I'll give it a back.
It's good. It's good.
And I was like, you know what?
I reckon look about it like this in a weird kind of way.
Is it a bit prog-rock?
Is it a bit proggy?
It's a...
It's a...
It's a band who are approaching Emo be a bit proggy.
Yeah, it is a bit proggy.
proggy. So I've seen
Code in Canvera live
supporting
who was it? It would have been about
that time around
that second album. You say it's their second
album so it would have been about
being the early 2000s
2003 maybe
so I would have seen them around that time
supporting someone else I think
I'll give it a go man
give it a go! I went through
a phase around that time
perhaps a little bit before
no probably around that time where every single metal
band I went to go and see
was being supported by
Avenge Sevenfold.
So I saw them about four times
without ever wanting to see it.
People are very keen on
Avenge Channel 7thold but I'm
yet to find someone who's
you know, that's their favorite band.
It's always the way of those, I suppose.
Yeah.
It's like being a fan of like
100 reasons or something.
I like 100 reasons though.
I like 100 reasons but you go back and you go
this is, you know, of its time, isn't it?
Should we get out of here, Luke?
Well, no, we're not going to get out of here
because I just want to pick up on that
and say it might well be of its time
but I think that
they were pretty influential right
they were quite ahead of their time I would say
in Britain maybe
they allowed Britain to
emo rock a bit I suppose
because ideas above their station
is a fucking great record
it's got the open song on that
I'll find you as one of the best
fucking emo
rock tunes
it's very good and and his voice is amazing
Yeah.
He's got to be the best singing Colin in rock history.
I can't think of another one.
There's not been a Colin.
Singing Collins.
Singing Collins.
Phil Collins doesn't count.
Phil Collins.
He sings.
Why doesn't that count?
He's not Colin.
He's not Colin.
He's not Colin.
Edwin?
Who's that?
Edwin Stephen Collins.
Edward Collins.
Never made a girl like you before.
Neither of them.
Even if you admit, even though I'd say that Edwin Collins's work with Orange Juice is good
and Phil Collins is obviously.
see a legend in his own way.
Neither have got better singing voices than Colin from 100
reasons who second them. I can't remember.
Okay. All right, fine.
Now we can live.
She will live long in the memory.
But I can't listen to Cohen in Canberra ahead of the next episode
because we're going to record it straight away.
But I will try and listen to it ahead of some time soon.
I've saved it to my spot-off I'd play list already.
Smashing.
All right then, darling.
We'll be back for more looking at pitch of fun.
Very, very soon indeed.
Take care of yourselves.
We'll see you very soon.
