Yeah, they feel they do they do the kids feel it and you're doing the kids That this justice anyway, you know Divorce is a fucking motherfucker. I was talking to a guy this weekend. I got divorced after 37 years Like wow 37 years, how old's a guy? Let's say he's 60 You know, what are you gonna do? What do you do?

Like I would that would be as honest as I am with you guys He'll be my biggest fear to lose my wife because I would be completely Lost well, I mean like George Bush. He was lost When Barbara died, it's why he died. I mean I entrusted my life. No, he was old too. Don't get me wrong but I mean, you know My after my mom went my dad was a year behind her Yeah, my wife is my like, I don't know anything I don't know anything about the house

The mortgage the rents The car payments and that funny how they wind up right? I don't show I she's an accountant by trade She's an accountant. This is what she does Do you have a prenup? I Couldn't have a pretty how can you have a prenup With somebody who saw you grow? From nothing I couldn't have a prenup. Well, yeah, that's different. I would not my ex-wife came into it I was already

Poisoned already done right, you know, we're You know, I mean we're all our pivotal records had already been recorded by the time we got involved I'm talking you move out here from Pennsylvania Move a girl sleeps in a car with you for a week until you find an apartment Right doesn't give you any shit. Yeah, you get an apartment. Whether you have your ups and downs Also, and you join a band you gotta what are you gonna do dumper? The karma that you're gonna have on you. I did no The karma that's gonna be on you is there'll be the stench of ten dead fucking monkeys

So you don't want that stench on you So somebody's been there with you, but here's another side of that coin That when I got married I got married because she stuck it out with me in prison Yeah, yeah the first wife the first wife When I came out I felt obliged Even though we were having ups and downs I felt like she stuck it out with me I ended up marrying her and a back five. Yeah, so there's two sides to every coin. Yeah, but you know My girl went through, you know, all the cancer stuff with me

But it it wasn't like I don't feel obliged I mean, of course I do to some degree, but that's not why I'm with her. I feel like She showed me the side of her That I was looking for in somebody there was other candidates, you know what I mean? But somebody that will You know really stand by you I mean, come on man, that's gold. You know what I mean? I mean, that's just You cannot

I'll never forget that her and I had been dating about two or three years and at that time they I don't know if it was A&E. They did a series of stories about different actors and comics And they did a story about kennison Oh, right. Right. They talk on and they go that he dated a girl in the beginning and Dumped her and she knew he was just using her, you know, right, right? I'll never forget that my wife at the time. I feel like two or three years looked at me. She goes

I hope you you you'll never do anything like that. You know, like yeah, you ever happened Did you know kennison? No, no, I did. I did cc hung out with him a lot a lot, right? Cc and him would say they were they were that was and so therefore I saw him a lot, you know what I mean Personally, I think cc is wittier and funnier than sam kennison You have no I thought There was a time when I first moved here where I'd see cc And he'd honestly make me laugh. There's people Who make you laugh with with their wit?

But there's people that their body language Cracks me The fuck up and cc is one of those guys who cc the guitar player from poison. Okay. Gotcha. Yeah, it's really weird He's from brooklin. Yeah, so he's got that natural character You know, uh, who else is like that ace freely? Yeah, he is ace freely. I think in the early interviews I can't control myself some nights I go into a kiss hall and I get in it, you know early ones when gene would be furious And ace freely would be high as fuck crack and judge laughing his ass off. I remember one some some interview he was doing

Uh, he was laughing about something where they said, you know, what else are we going to do be plumbers? Yeah, he's laughing his ass off about it and gene's like all serious, you know, he's howling Yeah, but the last couple interviews I see them with ever since he got clean and sober. He's not that funny no more Now he's more You know, he's more focused on the music which I love ace No disrespect to him. I just think ever since he got sober like He's just a little bit more tighter now in his interviews. All right now. They're sorry It's like a kick drum

The kiss reunion or not reunion, but they supposedly it's going to be the last tour we're talking about right It's got to be with ace and peter. Don't you think I don't think peter over there is and that is cause and that tour isn't That tour could be they could I would look at that stones tickets for 800, right? I think this kiss army tour Could be 1200 a ticket and they could get away with it, but They got to have ace and they got to have the other guy But then something else happened

That destroyed the tour it's done Yeah, that's you're fucking crazy Because last monday on what's his name show? They had a whole they busted out paul stanley His voice is gone Is it really he's gonna do this tour lip-syncing? Serious the people that are in the know Like in music all that paul stanley got that operation

And instead of recovering properly and I'm not even part of the kiss army This is what I learned. Just listen to that guy on mondays. What's his name? I don't know The guy on serious to that like jim florentine's buddy. They did to have a metal show together. Oh, okay You know michael trunk eddy trunk. Oh eddy trunk eddy trunk. I love I get in the car just to listen to fucking eddy. Yeah. No eddies the shit so last monday busted out I caught the tail end that the baby. Yeah, I had to take it a movie tie You know the first 10 minutes of movie tie could sit outside my wife's with her But then I have to go on and watch the class so I just heard the the thing that

They're doing the tour but they taunted people Because they taught not bro. They've been taunting people they did the kiss crews And they had fucking gene ace come on and do two songs You know these kiss people are serious Poison people are serious let zeppelin people are serious, right? You know, you remember as a child growing up in pennsylvania And I've always used this argument because america forgets this argument There was a time before 1979

That no matter what fucking album you like there was always one asshole in the circle that said It doesn't matter if if if the Let it skin. It's good, but they're not better than the Beatles Wait till the Beatles get back together. Do you remember that before gelin and got shot? There was always one fucking nerd in the room That didn't like whatever and it was always like that, you know, there's always always, you know, there's one naysayer You're with six 16 year olds in the room and you listen to new poison out and

four of us in One guy is always the well You know the bass sounds off. There's always that one jerk off, but then there's always that one Then there's always that one jerk off at the end that goes It's a good album, but it doesn't matter wait till the Beatles get back together. There was always that one asshole I couldn't I was so happy that they John Lennon got shot because all those people fucking having to fuck themselves I was happy and sad at the same time Because now I could win an argument. I could finally win a fucking I fuck you with the Beatles. It's over

But it was it was weird like you just I don't even know how we got the topic It doesn't really they take it seriously with their band members. They take it very seriously You know these people Listen man, when you're a fan or whoever Uh, you'll pay whatever You see the prices when we're talking about yeah, there's no money in music no more. So there's no money in music sales So that money has to come from somebody right right a lot of stuff is live stuff

And like I said like devil city angels my side band. We're um negotiating with a label in australia They want to do it single at a time. That's how they want to do They want to they don't care about a full record all once like where you go lock up for two three months Make a record and then and then release it and then keep releasing single They want to do it one song at a time and it makes sense. It's like back to the 50s. You know what I mean? Because That's how people consume it now one thing at a time quick you know

It's not necessarily a bad thing. I mean It I just think you have to look at at the at the industry a little differently people are just like, oh my god They're just so doomsday about the music industry now. What happened, you know A lot of things happen a lot of things change and and a lot of people bitch about the internet. It's the fucking internet, you know It's a lot of things Happen. I mean cultural shifts and all sorts of stuff, you know Rock and roll wasn't as dangerous as it used to be it's just not And I think that hurt rock and roll and rock and roll were albums rap were albums

That was the last thing to go. It was always the cds. You know what I mean? The seed the albums and then of course the cds and the cds were the last things to go And the last places that it went were the people that were buying Rap albums, you know rock went and then we're at one, but Rock's not dangerous no more. We were raised on the You're giving me seven dollars for an album concept. Like I was just thinking about this like I I don't know how much music I bought I don't know how many millions of dollars I've spent on albums

They got lost I re-bought them just the collection the vinyl I gave away The vinyl collection I gave away in 84 broke my heart Like it was one of those things where you had to turn your back And I had to like get in the car with tear rolls. I got a I got a story I don't even want to tell you because it would just implicate somebody so bad But somebody put my records out in the fucking ring Okay, I'm talking Led Zeppelin to all kinds of shit the who taught me all kinds of shit gone fucking gone

my collection from I'm not going to say who it is. What are you like if that situation you want to stab him on the fucking? Yeah Especially if you have that type of collection, I can't even verbalize the things I've thought of you know I can't get me arrested I can't imagine like people who could just go to uh, what's nachiba? What's the name of the sunset the music place gazebo amoeba amoeba? Yeah, you go to amoeba drop 20 000 dollars. I have a great music collection. Yeah, you could that's one thing. Yeah, that's one thing Which I refuse to do

I like I don't I'm still into the I feel bad that I gave away my albums in 84 I had no choice. I gave them to somebody who was a metalhead chick who still has them who I trusted the whole thing But now that I love these fucking albums. Yeah, I know I love I love going over this place over here on In burbank and I go in there and I walk around for an hour like a moron. It's my psychiatry Albums are bitchin You know, I don't I'm there were firms right that that's all they did was come up with album concepts And photography and and graphics and stuff and now that's a digital form

And those companies are gone and people have moved on but I mean, I mean People would just be like when they're I mean, how many kids did you know in school? Right that the thing they wanted to do was grow up and be an artist for an album cover I want to do album covers. I'm going to do art for album covers. I mean it literally begged people To create another art form, you know, the square that would open up, you know any man And uh, and we don't have that anymore. I mean, yeah, sure. There's a few here, but it's not like it was No, I always say that they took away that whole

Listen, I grew up on saturday mornings watching cartoons Saturday morning early american kids you watch cartoons Once you outgrew that it got to the point where you went on your Whatever your main street was in your hometown Where they had the sporting goods and they had the comic book store and they had the music store, you know All in different parts, right? You and your buddies would walk for miles without complaining in the winter time humidity You know fleas the whole fox thing

It didn't matter where today you wouldn't do that You know that feeling and going to the record store and like you're gonna get something. I'm gonna get sabotage You're gonna get pink floyd Metal and leaves to get rolling stones made in the shade But then we get down there and when you'd find something cooler you'd find metallica On whatever we changed. There was something to that Let me tell you something it would be like I don't remember what day of the week But I would get my allowance for doing, you know chores and stuff like that and I'd go right down to

I think corvettes the basement ej corvettes, right and uh And sometimes I just look at the cover and go through all these covers and find like the coolest looking cover and go I'm just gonna try this and sometimes you fucked up. It would be like horrible. You'd be like, ah But I discovered shit like UFO and stuff like that just by the cover the cover because I thought it was so cool I'm like it's They've got to have a good they have to have good music if they put this much into the cover That's where my head went. No, I had to and you know, so I try you made you try things now

It's it's a the whole different way. I mean they did this social experiment. They ask all these kids, you know Hey, what would you rather have snapchat or would you rather have itunes? And like 70 percent said we'd rather have snapchat. I can't even wrap my head around that. Can you know You know music is like ancillary to like a lot of kids growing up now It's like an ancillary product. It's not like the thing for us. It was the thing I'm coming over to your house because you have a better Hi-fi system than I do so I'm going to listen to my new record at your house because you have bitching shit We're going to smoke pop. We're going to listen to the fucking new zeppelin record

Now it's like let's go over to his house because he's got a better playstation And he's got surround sound playstation I never thought about this, you know, I've never thought about this if we could get another piece of product that required A way of listening to things again like 5.1 Surround sound if that became cool again Which it should because I've heard records done in 5.1 surround and it's fucking phenomenal I heard a remix of like a black water, you know

In 5.1 and voices are over and it was incredible just freaking incredible Nobody cares. They're fine with this compressed sound that comes off of a of laptop, you know with headphones So let me ask you a fake bass, you know who pays 800 For rolling stone tickets. Is it 29 year old kids? That go to lowlop not lowlop loser. What's the one in the desert that they paid 254 ticket last year? And it was the stone in the desert. Yeah, what's the one there? Not burning not burning man, but the other one they did nobody pays me. It's the big one. I like Beyonce just did it Oh, uh, Coachella. Yeah, right, right, right. Okay, so

Coachella's young kids That's primarily 30. Okay Now who's gonna pay 800 to go see the stones? guys our age Oh, will that be like I was talking to the owner of the Nashville Zainis and he's a fucking dead head to the end You know now he got to cut his hair and the whole thing but He has our stories for hours And he said that last year two years ago as a joke

He figured he went to see him in Denver And he said that he had to leave He goes it wasn't really dead heads. It was kids with dead head t-shirts on smoking pot Well, you know what this that can happen, you know what I mean? It can be a lot of people know No, they rediscovered things right but people rediscovered things I mean the thing is is that so many of these bands were a moment in time. I mean, you know rolling stones are a phenomenon I mean if you dissect

Each guy's playing, you know Is it you know or people better guitar players and Keith Richards? I know all this stuff is subjective But I mean from a technical standpoint a lot of people are going to be Better guitar players and Keith Richards with Keith Richards somehow has that grease And the stones together feel like they're going to fall off the edge all the time and you're always like there's this Uneasiness it's not the the imperfection is what's so perfect about them I mean, it just feels like it's going to fall apart and it doesn't fall apart It stays together, but barely and you're waiting for the next one

You know what I mean? And there's this tension in their music You know and it's like sometimes, you know Ron's like, you know even on stage. He's like he's telling You know mix something, you know what I mean? Like there's this Crazy exchange and not every band works that way Some bands it's like they're playing to a click and they're just all doing their thing and it's a great song and the vocals are on And the music's on and okay great How do you come up with a band like the stone even the even the even zeppelin if you think about it As good a players as they were the way they mesh is really what it what makes it work

What made that band work? You know what I mean? Just I mean sometimes You know Bottom would be playing in a different time than page would be playing in and it would sound like it was in the same time But it would create this tension We do it with poison cc's ahead of the beat and I sit behind the beat It's just how it's always been and there's this thing and if I play with a different guitar player It's bitching and a lot of times we're right on But there's something between cc and I that works and most drummers and guitar players don't work that way

It's usually bass players and drummers that have that dynamic, you know, bobby's always right up the middle glues it together You know, and that's what makes it work for us, you know We had all the components to make a great band Like it's just not four great musicians There's so many it's an invisible jujitsu do exactly if one plus one equal two We'd be doing it all day long doing it all day long this morning. I listened to What I think is a musical masterpiece. It was

An album that I just sunk into my head at a weird time in my life Well, I was just starting to discover who the fuck I was and Experiment that just happened for me like a year ago. I listened to some girls On the plane today start to finish Start to finish and the one thing I got to say about it was Keith I think Keith's guitar work on it on some girls Just the song some girls

Is phenomenal respectable beast of burden That song that album has I love that so many fucking great beast of burden just destroys me on the inside Destroys me. It's emotional. I mean, it's you know, the emotion in their stuff is what I mean they they I heard that the way they record And I don't know this to be true, but they'll um Just do one part over and over and over again until it feels right and then they'll Splice that and then they'll do the next part over and over and get till it feels kind of like protolling

But they did it with splicing tape Organically for years and years like that. I don't know if it's true or not But um, but they're looking for that moment. Um, you know when we worked When we worked with uh, when we did the flesh and blood record, uh, that's how it was The producer god rest his soul, um wanted He only wanted three takes out of me And if I didn't get it in three takes, he's like, we're moving on to the next song We'll deal with it either next day or after lunch or at the end of the day

But I want a snapshot. I want the inspired performance within within bruce fairburn I for some reason I forgot his name for a second. I want you know, he just wanted that um That initial feeling Within the first three takes I think I did four takes on one song And if I didn't get it That we'll do it tomorrow. I want it inspired. I want it to feel fresh and inspired and I'll feel it I'll know it when I hear it. You know what I mean? I couldn't even hear it anymore

You know, we rehearsed the shit so many times. I didn't know when I was inspired and when I wasn't anymore That's why you need an adult in the room when you're a kid. We're ain't making a record Now I think I recognize it, but I probably still don't you like the recording process I do. I love the recording process. I love the live process. I love every piece of making music I like the writing All of it. I don't like the business part. I'm not a good business guy. That's why I let bobby doll do it I'm not a good business person. Um I just don't like that part. I don't like looking at somebody and saying you need to pay me this much. It sucks

Yeah, I don't like that. It sucks Dick, you know, it does this club. I'm doing this weekend. I'm doing lawyer this weekend lawyer seats A hundred and eighty nine tickets maybe 190 maybe 195 Most comics avoid it because they can't make any money in there I wanted to do it because It's the way Comedy was meant to be done You know, I love comics. I love comedians with all my heart. I love the

But I think at one time out then you you lose that magic You know, right when mitzi shore opened up the lawyer comedy store for 190 seats. She was jewish She was greedy, you know what I ain't like mitzi shore didn't do she paid 15 dollars a set She could have put 400 seats in there if she wanted to But she didn't she liked the intimacy of that place, you know And it's so weird that that's what it was meant to be in the beginning and now it's become Madison Square Garden. I mean, yeah, uh, my favorite did fucking

The one place in the city. Uh, Lenny Bruce. Yeah, did Carnegie Hall. I get that I get but it's got to be the perfect Venue were you a big Lenny Bruce fan? I Was a bigger prior fan Yeah, but Lenny has something I really dig that I really like to tap into When I listened to Lenny Bruce, it makes me I don't know. He had some balls. He had balls. He makes me go crazy. He makes me go crazy

He's jewish dancing Like it's jewish. I could feel the jew coming through and On the mic the album Which isn't even uh meant to be funny or nothing. Happy honey got all the jews up Hey, this was just something about him. He was a tough jew like He was a tough jew and he fucking Something just about him. He was always one step. Yeah Past everybody else's thinking when I read that and I and when people would catch up to him they go

Yeah, that's why he was so I love when I when I read that book It changed me as the first time I read that book I knew I wasn't fucking crazy Freddie Prince. Yeah, did he mean anything to Freddie Prince? Absolutely Because he was spanish. Yeah So Freddie Prince came along, you know, I was trying to get Freddie Freddie Prince junior does the show with a dear friend of mine And we were trying to get Freddie on here and I think I'm happy we couldn't get it together because I think it'd be too emotional for a guy like me

Oh, yeah, because it's very It's very rough to explain what happened It was 1970, you know, and I was a kid and I was learning the language and I fell in love with all these different people And the first guy fell in love with was Roberto Clemente Of course, you know, I love Pete Rose fucking Pete Rose Was my motherfucker when I was growing up when I saw him be that That guy, did you know that who's that's ADHD?

Pete Rose. He has what ADHD. He's got a lot of problems. He's been all but he's been out. Yeah Gambling these fucking things. That's why that's what that may have caused some stuff as right But uh, you know, I had all these heroes, you know, Julia serving But there was something about Roberto Clemente's death That that it was just new year's day. Yeah new year's day Like, you know, let's wake up new year's day and this guy had just fucking hit His 300th hit like this guy was on fire Like and all of a sudden there's an earthquake and he's gonna bring supplies down

He's gonna be a good guy the Nicaragua and the plane disappears and fucking the Bermuda Triangle It just destroyed America Just like people like what man, it's it's it's a deep story Deep like you're like, this is America's baseball and he was fucking Puerto Rican But if you watch his videos his English You could feel his English how he came through like he really wanted to be an American He always had a little suit on

What a fucking guy and shit. Yeah, he was just a badass leaf Fucking if he played the Red Sox, you still cheered for him. He was that type of guy like, you know, you know what man I hate the Pittsburgh pirate But fuck and the Dodgers had him Really like the whole story is the Dodgers had him and they didn't know what to do with him And then he went to fucking Pittsburgh and it's just I forgot that you're from Pennsylvania and you grew up in it You know that that catcher never recovered Man, he's saying again like never recovered like that was his fucking best friend. Yeah, there were both Puerto Ricans

He went down to the fucking keys and sat on the beach waiting for a burner to walk out of the water That's how man. He was like Roberto was so Such a badass I had to fly down there just to see If he would walk out of the ocean Like that's how fucking and then after he died No, the whole thing's an intense story now. It's like very very, you know, jay bish Jay bish

He's a Pittsburgh guy. He's he sends me all my Pittsburgh stuff. Oh, yeah The rock center shirt. Yeah, I got two nice shirts that he sent me He just gave me a post up from the Roberto Clemente museum Nice when I go home with the seven to give it to my brother frame and bring it here So after he dies, he's Puerto Rican Freddie Prince comes along You know and America was taking a fucking beating that Then Freddie Prince shoots himself, you know, which is like

You know the hottest comedian in the fucking world. Yeah, that was a weird shoot himself That was a weird. No one came out of nowhere. Yeah, no, I mean for the for the rest of the world It came out of nowhere. No internet. You're fucking walking home. I was walking. I'm on a Friday night I still remember being with my friends and something going Freddie Prince shot himself and I'm like I had walked through a cemetery. I think that night that was the night that I ate some girl's pussy I fucking behind the grammar school I still remember her name. I fucked the first and I ate a pussy

And then he's supposed to do it the other way It was freezing outside It was freezing outside. She was a year older than me I hope the hell you pulled out. That's all. Is this when you dug something in the snow? No, this This was a different girl. This was a german girl that apparently ate its picks Who were nazis Or they hated spanish people. Hey, well, listen go back to desi or nas. I may not had that, you know, come on

Well, desi, you know desi. I loved it and the whole thing and he I related to it, but Once freddy print shot himself That's it. Well, that's more our era too And then I'll tell you what destroyed me the one that put the fucking straw on the camel's backwood brucelly That was it. Fuck that fucked me up for three or four months. I went nuts for three or four months You know, I just I just saw daniel asano. Yeah, we saw him that day when we were down Well, no, I just saw him I took a picture with him my son was with me. I was what two weeks ago And uh, what's he 80 something? I mean, you know, and he trains every day

Um, he is yoda. He is the living yoda of our generation. I mean He's learned more martial arts. He's forgotten more martial arts than I'll ever learn. I mean, you know, I mean the guy's amazing I took um You know, one of the first things I wanted to learn was jkd because of brucelly And uh, so when I had the money and the time finally I dedicated myself and I hired cast magda Who was danney's protege for a long time and danney was bruce's protege So i'm like, well shit. This makes me like third generation brucelly kind of you know what I mean

Uh, and I worked with him for five years and I learned jkd and I learned Collie, you know, the stick fighting and knife fighting and sea lot And I that's where the ground stuff started to come in which connected me back in high school with the wrestling When I wrestled in school And so when I met the machado brothers, I was like, that's what really sunk into me. I realized that I'm a ground game guy What's sea lot? Well, there's a supposed s i l a t. Yes, right

And joxy lot which is I've heard that there's like hundreds of styles because there's hundreds of villages. Okay But the one one of them words, you know, and like samatra, that's so wet You know, so they just started the ground because they're going to fall down. So they just start there Um, and that's one of the kinds some of it looks like bad kung fu I mean some of it's not good and some of it's extremely effective stuff, you know And I mean, it's a loose grappling style and there's strikes, but it's more, you know trips and get the guy on the ground and Sometimes there's weapons involved. It just depends on the style of sea lot. There's just

A couple like 140 styles or some crazy and fucking number Um, and some are more prominent than others. I met I remember meeting some people from indonesia and uh Guy came into a jiu-jitsu school and I'm like, um, did you ever study sea lot? And he goes, no, there's taekwondo schools on like every corner I'm like, well a good thing. I'm not going over there. I can learn more of it here because yeah, you're probably good What's jikudo like like I never I think it's very simple so much that I didn't even want to even fuck with it You know, I got to tell you it was when when bruce was uh, you know, I mean it initially it came from wing chung

Kung fu and I think when he came over here He realized that American western boxing was such an alive art that You know because it's when he said, you know, like if you can if you can look, you know Box for a year and wrestle for a year. You can probably beat every lifetime martial artist You know because he realized how effective those things really truly were

So he started to combine the boxing and the wing chung Kung fu together And I think it just started and he started to look at other martial arts and go This is why this works and this is why it doesn't and why are people Practicing and learning techniques that don't work in real combat. What the hell are you doing this for? And he would verbalize this and he would piss people off, man He made a lot of fucking people mad

And he was just being truthful. He's just going you need to You have to listen to your instincts too. You can't just a hundred percent Take somebody else's word for it. Hey, if I you know if I hit this person in the solar plexus It's going to crush this and they're going to fall down and they're going to die Well, if that worked they'd be happening in the ufc You know what I mean? But so I think what he did was just put a lens on it You know cast told me

um That you know, you can actually learn jkd in like three months The principles, you know the the punches this, you know, the strikes the kicks are not it's not complicated It just takes a long time to get really good at it. It's just like Muay Thai There's not a ton of punches and kicks And like Bruce Lee said, you know when you first learn martial arts a punch is a punch And when you've gotten to black belt a punch is still just a punch, you know what I mean? It's it at the end of the day. It's like, you know

All this uh physics belongs to all of us, you know what I mean? None of us are born with four arms and you know So it's not a complicated art. It's it's not at all. It's very simple. You just it just takes a long time. I think To hone it to where you're really good at. It's just like drums. I can hit a drum and make a noise You're gonna hit a drum and make a noise But to make the noise cohesive into something that sounds like a piece of music that takes a little time And that's what jkd is. It's putting all those pieces together until no forms, right? No form. No, there's no forms So it's they used to you know, sometimes people teach with the wooden dummy. I know dany did that I've never studied under dany, so I'm not sure but from what I've heard and uh, but cast didn't do the wooden dummy

He didn't teach with that the wooden dummy is the wing chunk. Yeah with the two little arms. Yeah stationary. Okay. Yeah Keep making little blocks with your hands and using like kind of elbows on maybe not It's a lot of trapping and stuff like that, but you know, I think that I mean look if that trapping worked that well, I think boxers would use it and I think boxers have their own little Version of trapping, you know what I mean, but that The way they trap in in wing chunk I Not that it can't be effective anything delivered at the right time can be effective

I remember in the ufc in the early days everybody said, you know what why even bother kicking you do a high kick You're gonna get you're gonna get knocked out somebody's gonna take you down and that's the end of it So just forget ever learning high kicks Well, now you're looking at people using high kicks and they're working because they know when to deliver it You know what I mean? If somebody's trying takedowns for the first two rounds They're gonna start getting tired and their takedowns aren't going to be effective That's the time to use a high kick on a guy when he comes in for that takedown

I mean we saw that half play out many times in the ufc. I don't even remember what fight it was but It's crazy how that shit works, you know, brucelly was alive today. I think he'd be all over the ufc I think he'd be a commentator. You know what I mean? I would be a glorious. Can you imagine that? I don't know I don't know. I don't know how it's because at first I didn't like it at first the ufc when I turned around I saw two fat guys from a bunch I was furious

Really when what would ufc was this, you know, uh, just when it first started one of the first one like I was such a purist Like, you know, when I quit martial arts I quit and there was another thing like it was like The first time I had to walk away from it Not because I was lazy. I was scared Because I had to choose my lifestyle Where I had to go train at 15 was two bus rides And those kids didn't do what I like doing at that age. I want to go get pussy

They wanted to train on Saturdays and Saturday nights stay in and watch fucking kung fu movies and Practice the iron bomb technique in their basements and shit. I didn't want to do that. I wanted to get high and get my dick sucked It's not like I was getting my dick sucked. It wasn't happening But that's the reason but you were trying and they weren't getting an iron fist either. No, I was staying in I mean we were geeks. We go to karate from nine in the morning to fucking one Then we go eat pizza In union city and then we'd walk down, but you know, it was like an all-day fucking affair Right geekiness and then sometimes we got together at night

At our parents to drop us off and we watch kung fu movies or something like that Well, this is the thing. I mean it's it's we we you know If you look at the movies that come out and even like Jackie Chan and I've happened to love Jackie Chan I love kung fu movies and all that stuff. I think it's great But at the end of the day, I mean, what is truth? What is the truth? And I think bruce lee was constantly searching for the truth. What really works But at the same time he was making movies

That were far-fetched, you know what I mean? And he knew that he was doing things in those movies that probably wouldn't work in real life But he would talk about the truth, you know what I mean? So what he would preach and what he would put in a movie were two different things, you know I mean they were not the same guy one guy was an actor and one guy was a serious martial artist That serious martial artist is the guy that I really found the most intriguing But you know, what is the truth with you know anything can any you know, you heard the old saying any horse can win on any day I mean, you know some pure

karate guy old school karate guy could walk into the UFC and win. You don't fucking know Probably not You know what I mean? I mean the the hybrid of of of uh Is almost You almost have to have that hybrid thing today That's what blows my mind about damien maya though And you know about damien maya. He's one of the few guys that I mean, I don't know how much stand-up He trained or where he trained his stand-up not a ton of it. I don't think he's one of these guys that I mean just

He's like a john jock or any jiu-jitsu guy With almost pure jiu-jitsu's come in and rank what up to four or five in the UFC You know, he hasn't fought in a while. He's getting older now. He's got a little pretty amazing It's pretty amazing. I saw I saw his hands get better and improved right But they never really matched but it's one of the few martial arts that still holds up even today In that kind of an environment is brazilian jiu-jitsu. It does still holds up. I am very impressed You still have to learn how to very impressive. You know what? There was more ground than pound

I watched fight night last night. There was so much grappling and ground and pound There for a while. I was seeing so much stand-up stand up stand up stand up. I'm like damn it looks like k1 kickboxing This isn't as interesting to me. Then all of a sudden a little by little, you know And I think kabi bushered that in a little more You know, I mean the guy that has like one of the best records in UFC history Was grounded in pound and it's like, you know, he's got something right here, you know What do you think or why do you think there there aren't as many martial arts movies anymore? Like in the 80s or whatever there was jarred clont van dam. There was uh

I'm blanking on his name right now, but the guy who's who's kind of russian. He goes to russia. He still makes movies. They're not that great Uh, whatever it is. Well, you're gonna answer this. It's a ufc, right? Yeah, but I mean that there was still I mean there was action movies back in the 80s. There were there was Rambo and all that stuff, but there was still You know, you don't know if you're right Yeah, I'm a billy jack was off Oh, I'm gonna put this leg on that side of your head and there you could be a fucking league you could do about 1970 They took a deep fucking chance at billy jack and they won

Yeah, they had them until they took them to trial the trial of billy jack lost me. Yeah, but billy But billy jack, you know, who did the soundtrack? Oh coven A band that had a 12 minute black sabbat Literally on their record. It was on a record called blood on the snow And the lead singer is a girl named jinx I don't ask me why I know this my mind is a freaking junk. I love it. I love it

I think it was it was billy jack and then it ends with him Going to jail born loser was the first one born loser was the first one. Okay. All right I'm not I'm not totally good. Yeah. So what years I saw it at the drive-ins Yeah, I saw the drive-in to unclifting new jersey off. All right. I saw it, you know Like carlyle pa or something. What's the score of the pittsburgh game?

He was ready to go like that taking it back We were coming back from vietnam and we got billy jack now. Yeah Billy jack was you know, he was that was a bad ass movie. There was there was so many cool movies back then I think I mean, I just maybe it was just because I was so young. It's just everything was amazing I still remember the commercial for the french connection. Yes. Fuck yeah, my dad took me to see it My mom said no, you're not going to see it. My dad took me anywhere I

Remember going to see that in the movie theater, but the commercial said filmed in new york Where it happened when he's walking running up the stairs and Wasn't that the first high speed auto chase like ever something like that's pretty famous for editing It's the first uh, that's the first ever. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I saw that at moma in new york Oh, did you yeah, they were screening it was fun. It was great. It's always there. That's the first time That you know how they were he chased him underneath the subway. Yeah, you know, that was the first time they ever shot a scene like that Really? Yeah, that was the first one. Yeah, and then and of course steve mcqueen did stuff

later and Steve mcqueen took it up a notch So did fucking but reynolds in the longest yard. Oh, yeah, he did with uh, whatever the fucking car he was Yeah, that's why i'm really in shock that that was the first Big car scene. That's crazy french connection was what year though. That was like 60 Eight or i mean 69 something like that Let's see here We should play trivial 71 yeah 71 okay, I tell you the reason I want to see this that movie

You're not gonna believe but i'm gonna tell you i'm gonna tell people at home anyway, okay There's a writer called tj. What was his name that we brought him on english tj english is a writer out of new york and he's uh, he's uh irish guy And he wrote a book about the westies and then he wrote two books about cuban culture And they both westies were badass motherfuckers. I know about it Then he wrote two Books that ones getting done as a tv

10-part miniseries on hbo was that good And the other one is called uh, whatever the fuck the one that we had him on here for But in that book he had a bunch of names of people that they grew up around You know and and I when when he was writing the book I contacted him and he interviewed me on a lot of the people A couple weeks ago, I was thinking about the french connection And I go and I called them up and I go can I ask you a question and any of your files Did you read a name of a guy named louis bow? And cuban that means louis the turkey

That was his name louis bow. So when I was a kid The reason why I went to see the french connection is because my mother pulled me inside and she goes come here Go watch the french connection and see if they mentioned louis de pavo If they don't mention them the movie's a fake Did I mention no but when I talked to When I talked to tj english that time The first time he said no, but let me look through my stuff About six weeks later he called back and he goes

This guy this louis the pavo was never really mentioned But he was one of the original guys that was putting the coke on the cars and the heroin And how they were weighing it. That's how they were They would put it in the car and ship it from france or the united states And they would weigh the car so you'd have to take something out of the car Because they knew the weight of the car They knew the weight of the car a big thing like, you know, it's we what what movie were we watching? Oh

The one with marky warburg when they were chasing the diamonds of the gold around town Italian Joe and they could tell By the measurement on the tires if the weight on the yeah Oh, yeah, so they'll cut the tire right open and fucking because that's you know coming across the border I'm gonna use the restroom. Go go. Take one time. Just a quick party break. I'll be right back We're gonna read a fucking ad real quick. Well, I have you here Well, mr Ricky rocker is taking a little breather.

Shroom takes sports room check immune. So talk to me. What possessed you? What possesses a man? To wake up one morning and say You know what? I'm a black mountain jujitsu I I've sold millions of fucking records with a band You know millions worldwide I'm gonna wake up and up and up a coffee company Talk to me

You know what we were talking about this earlier my buddy garrison the head of ann r for drum workshop We started rose were such coffee fanatics that we started to get we bought a little roaster We're like, let's buy some beans and it's just fucking roast, you know So we're doing it in the garage on sunday afternoons, right? Watching tv and then we go where to do a podcast And have drummers on the show Since you work for drum workshop and i'm a drummer But the rule is that we can't talk about drums. We just talk about everything else

So we thought it was a great fucking idea and then he moved Unfortunately, so a couple years later when I met my girl, we talked about coffee. She was a big coffee connoisseur We just decided to do it when she was modeling. She went by tct and t bombs And i'm rockets. So that's why it's bombs and rockets Now when you talk about a big connoisseur of coffee When she talks to she talks to you about a rock macaque beans and shit like that She talks fucking beans to me, bro. Let me tell you something. It's hard But like this people I have I've had discussions with people that know

Shit about coffee that has blown me the fuck away. You know what? It's just about taste for me literally You know what I mean? I mean, it's it tastes good. It's good. You know, I mean Have you have you tried the really expensive one where like an animal eats the bean and poops it out? I just I just saw a video about it. It's crazy. It's like 100 or it's like a really expensive coffee per cup I'm gonna have to look at we have top models eating ours and pooping it out and then we make it into that That's that's the way to do just telling you. Um, you might want to try it. I just I just I heard about a beer somebody doing that with vaginal juices and making it into beer in europe or something like that I don't I'll drink that shit. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'll pour it all over my face

Yeah, it's they it kopey luak. It's the world's most expensive coffee. Let me just see how much it costs But but what's the what's the what's the catch? It's like a calic animal and from what I read or what I saw in the thing it said they think that the uh The animal chooses like the best beans And if there's some sort of like one animal, it's called a kopey luak. It's like it's kind of like a cat That's what they said. Oh, what people listen to columbians been drinking coffee making you jumping up and down for 2000 years Now they want to show up with a fucking the cat that eats a bean

So it costs 35 to 100 per cup. Well, listen, we just wanted to make a really good cup of coffee not reinvent the wheel You know Eat the bean and shits it out and I'm gonna fucking cook it up at the house You might as well snowmallow my farts for free I hate and how much would you charge for that? I hate when people fucking two dollars for sniff I hate when people Really do try and reinvent the wheel especially to a guy like me

Like i'm cuban. I love coffee The only reason why I don't have diabetes is because I avoid The cuban style coffee Why what's different? Is it sugar? It's it's I have some coffee with your sugar. Oh, is that it? Yeah, I have some, you know, I love going because I know how the turks do it Right turks to greeks. I love going to miami international airport once every two years And looking at starbucks. It's a fucking ghost town You'd have to be an idiot to go into starbucks in miami. No, yeah

Like if you go into a starbucks in miami Walk out and shoot yourself Because that's the best thing you could do for your life. Hey, man. You know what every any city I go into that's one of the things And I love starbucks. No, no, no, no. I like starbucks. You're not getting me wrong. I love starbucks. I love peeps Whatever that is peeps peeps. I love them all what i'm trying to say to you is In in miami For $1.50 They give you a white cup that has six shots of espresso cuban style that your dick gets hard

The hairs where you're bald over here. You can feel them navigate the second you snore the black beauty of the 70s You can feel your hand moving your scalp. I swear to god Give me some of that shit and I'll run home. Yeah, no, no. So a lot of people That's why i'm saying when you go to miami international airport You look at like The cuban restaurant there. There's a line for fountain coffee. You look at the starbucks. It's a one person operation I swear to god. Is your wife cuban? No, my wife is in tennessee But we learned how to make cuban coffee. They don't have cubans in tennessee

They got their cuban food in tennessee. The problem is the cuban The cute how bad how good is that? It's sticking around. That's the way most farts dissipate. This is just hanging in the air This is just like angiot orange or something. This is the worst thing And it just got you in the corner like Muhammad Ali had joe frazier 71 in the corner He just got you over there. He wrote the dope and I told you you're done You're done. That's direct from fucking uh, miami Portland, yeah, what did you get back last night this morning? Oh this morning I had two shows last night.

No. No, so Yeah, you know, I mean look at these hit that compressor Look at these bands that are going on the road now these ages

So nobody I can't I can't barter shit right now You know, it's so weird. You know, it's like, um, you know, I was talking about this the other day One platform to another doesn't equate. Okay, like Like we like we're so lucky our band, okay I feel so privileged to be able to be in this band and go out on the road and play

For 10 12 14 15 000 people a night I mean, we're very lucky to be able to do that at this point in our in our lives We're still doing that kind of business. Wow Some nights there'll be an 8 000 cedar. Some nights there'll be a 15, but on average it's 10 in there. Okay That's pretty awesome And that's a headlining thing because we headlined this last time But I go on I have a youtube channel and it's really hard to grow that channel very very hard

Hard as fuck I didn't realize how hard that would be. What's on your youtube channel? I do mainly vlogs that have to do with motorcycle stuff Um, and or at least motorcycles are always the backdrop even if I do I did one day I didn't even mean to do it I got a barbecue grill and the thing was totally fucked up when I got it So I did a vlog about taking it back And assembling a barbecue grill

But in the middle of it I get frustrated and take a ride in the motorcycle and I do this whole thing where I have Let go pro cameras and all this stuff. I always wind up doing something with a motorcycle almost nine times out of 10 Um However, I just did this one little mystery thing that I did for halloween And an old friend of mine That did all the documentaries for amityville called me up and he said hey man, we got to do something together Do you have any other stuff? And I said yes, I do I'm sitting on a really really good mystery right now that is

Absolutely one of the most and I'm not going to tell anybody right now because if I do somebody will steal a fucking idea um, but it's something that happened in another state 40 years ago And him and I are going to do something on it and hopefully it'll wind up on on a tv show That would be pretty cool, but I want to ride my motorcycle to it. I don't want to just Show up. I'm here. I didn't know you were a big biker guy. Oh, I have eight motorcycles I have eight motorcycles and about a dozen mini bikes I'm out of my mind. I've had 15 motorcycles at one time I love mini bikes with my mini bike days around like I call myself the motorcycle evangelist

I would love to go dirt riding again. I just did it this weekend. I took the kids I would love and the last weekend we went out to the desert Lucy my five-year-old's riding uh, jude's quad and jude has a 110 Kawasaki he's riding a dirt bike now I have a 250 and we just all ride together. We go slow, you know other kids and uh, but to him He's hauling ass. I mean he's he's doing good. She's doing good. It's so much fun.

I'm like, oh, we can't leave it like this, right? The guy poisoned out of party in here Did you ride motorcycles as a kid in pennsylvania? Oh, yeah, hell. Yeah. I fucking I'm thinking about it now I've been thinking about it for the last year But I just don't know where to go Like I don't want to have to fucking haul my bike

I like to live somewhere. That's why I wanted to move somewhere where I could just have my bike You know drive it maybe a mile on the off-road and then take oh you so you want a dirt ride? Yes You got to get an enduro. I mean a plated but I mean the nowadays excuse me Nowadays some of the enduro's like that fucking new ktm six days and 450 or whatever That fucking thing is a race bike with a plate on it I mean you can go anywhere And you know adventure riding is so big now like bmw's, you know

I still want my too big No, I still love remember I had a I went from uh on the mini trail Which I have two of by the way, you still have I have two of them. Do they have a clutch now? Or there's no neither of them have a clutch no no clutch three three on the tree. That's it and then I went to a 75 And then I went to an xl 80 I'm gonna get so 80. Yeah, and then I got an xl 125

Kawasaki had a place right up the corner from me And it was I would be in there every day torturing those people Do you understand me and my buddies are going there every day? I had a yamaha 60 That was my first motorcycle yamaha 60. It was a mini cycle No, it looked like a motorcycle, but it was just little You know an an kind of like what I got for jude Look like that. I had an indian for a while too. Oh, dude. If you still had that And you get those old indian minibikes. Fuck there were so much money. It was like 100 ccs

No, I was a kawi I was always meiko and botako and all those. Yeah, I started with honda And then I went to a Kawasaki then I had a A Suzuki for a while I won something

And I think I had an rm 125 Brett and I bought bikes and he bought a Kawasaki and I bought a Suzuki They both we both bought 125s On one tour and we compressed the fucking forks as much as we could and stick them under the bay of the bus And we pulled them out and just go right around the parking lot try to find somewhere to go off-roading Try to get the bus driver to drop us off somewhere Where we could We were into it. Yeah, that's what I want to do again. I really but no those are the enduros these days these four-stroke enduros

What's an enduro? That's a different brand. No, no, no an enduro is a bike that it's a dual Sport you can take right at the street. You can ride it in the dirt You know and so if you you know you could ride to where You know, it's it's a modern-day adventure bike. You know what I mean? You're I have this philosophy That your adventure shouldn't start at the back of your truck. It should start right at your garage. Yeah I don't like that. I don't want to haul the fucking thing. That's my problem leave leave the garage Yeah, and and so I try to keep that in mind now when you have

You know full-on two-stroke dirt bikes. I mean that you know, it is what it is But I'm not a racer. I'm not going to race dirt bikes at my age, you know and Fucking I just want to do 40 and just go Behind some fucking that's what I do now. I might be slipping some mud. I like that shit.

You don't even know it. He's just also Lucy is a whole another game I've got to make I got to lay with her and make sure she falls asleep and it's a whole thing with her But yeah, she's five. You know, she gets scared easy. She hears coyotes out there where I live

You know what I mean? She wants to be with daddy. So my and I always and a lot of people are like, oh, you got to get her over that You got to get over it. It's like she's five. She's One day I won't be able to lay with her because it'll be inappropriate You know and she won't want it and she'll be too old right now I'm cherishing those moments that she looked up goes daddy. Is it okay? No, it's just a coyote. He's he's having a good time He's trying to find his mom. See he's quiet now. He found his mom It's amazing the time you have to put in When you have a little girl

And what they consider Like for me and mercy, it's watching youtube sometimes Like I'll sell her a thousand options. What does she watch? Does she watch these like unboxing things of toys and shit? No, no, she watches high school ghouls Oh, okay. See lucy can just endlessly watch unboxing of dolls Those kids make millions of dollars. They're like the most popular things on youtube now No, there's that one kid that the american doll girl that I forget what her name. Chloe I'm not sure. Forget it. Forget pootie pie. This girl's the one that's making the money

They got those videos that the dolls just talk to each other. Mm-hmm. She goes crazy No, they just play there's one person. Yeah, somebody else is playing. I even told they go We should do these videos ourselves. You should they're making so much money. I would do those videos myself Could you imagine a joey Diaz doll? I would play with a joey Diaz doll I would take it. No me in my door. Well, you got to do this. I was thinking about it Because I like what sometimes she comes up to me. I'll be selling the computer. She just She just gangsters me and I'll say put this on

And I'll put it on and shoot the way she holds Sometimes she'll take my wrist and put it over her arm Which means you ain't going nowhere. She's got me on like a semi fucking camora As she holds on to my wrist and she even does things to my wrist so I can't get out of it Like she'll rub my wrist and shit. So I'm stuck there watching these god-awful videos. Yeah, I mean god-awful But you say to yourself, you know, what are my options? This is what it's about. This is what they want. Yeah, they don't want disneyland They don't want we watch a lot of pepper pig and stuff. Yeah pepper pig

You know, I mean, you know that the the uh, the youtube platform is so amazing I love doing vlogs and it's like i'm not making any money doing it. I didn't I'm famous for what I want to be famous for playing drums and poison I started that because I have so many interests that I want to share with people and have a good time with it You know what I mean? That's why I started doing it. But it's a whole other headspace It's almost like they don't want traditional media people meddling on their platform a little bit like other youtubers. There's one guy uh suburban delinquent The who is a uh motorcycle guy

And he does all vlogs and motorcycle There's a couple youtube most of the youtubers fucking completely ignore me If I if I even reach out to him and say hey, man, that's cool. What didn't they never even fucking respond? They're just I don't know what they're they got no fucking respect. Oh, I know it's like it's like But you know, they can't go on tour either like this, you know Some of them can there's some of these youtubers that are doing if they're doing music if they already have a talent It's one thing but if their talent is only Vlogging that's really as far as that platform goes, you know what I mean?

But there are some amazingly talented people if you dig into youtube what's so oh shit. I'm sorry What's so cool is that if there's a girl in the middle of Iowa? Who's 16 years old and can sing her ass off and play guitar She's got an equal chance at a shot these days of getting the world to hear her as somebody did years ago that had to Find some way to get somebody interested or maybe never get a shot, you know what I mean? That's one cool thing about the platform that I think is so fascinating Or or somebody in the middle of germany or somewhere in the world. It's like equal. You know what I mean?

I mean, how cool is that it's It that amazes me and what I wait for those things. It was that one band uh BLS or whatever it is that BTS right. Yeah, they're korean, right? I'm like that. Yeah Just out did tell her tell her swift. I mean the biggest Amount of views like ever in history insane insane The thing I like the most about the internet That I don't think people really realize is that you're alive

You have a voice now You don't have no excuse There's no excuse There's no I can't get my art in a gallery You know put it online and fucking promote it. I mean Your word, you know, I mean we were growing up. You had to have a fucking cb To get the hell yeah, how you doing breaker one nine anybody out there any truckers out there?

Hello, hello, this is the flying cuban anybody out there You know now let's pick up chicks on the cb Yeah, I mean, you know if I was a 13 year old kid right now There's no reason to even go to USC the media school no more I mean listen, you know, everybody has access to a camera like this or the phone or something like that You can tell a story now. It doesn't mean you're going to tell the story. We've all had pet People on pence or pencils doesn't mean you're going to write a great book

But you have the ability you have your ability. That's why I love that's all of the most Yeah, whether it's going to be good or bad that's up to you and you don't have to worry about that That's not important the most important thing is that you get Whatever you have on your mind or in your heart out And you could honestly say I tried to get it out 13 people watched it But there's 13 people know who the fuck I am right There's 13 people nice. I mean my I have a small channel, but the people that are there are very focused There's a lot of people that you know people are throwing me

Um some cool gear and stuff like that because they're like at least I know the people that are watching And they're going to look at this gear. So I'm there's a local motorcycle shop I'm going to do some reviews for them on some of their new bikes and It's building. It's taking time. You know what else is nice. It's like the reason why I go to jiu-jitsu I go to jiu-jitsu. I don't go there to be puchacha What to be john jock You know, I go to jiu-jitsu bro

To be a fat guy in the back. That's just a fat blue belt in the back It's nice to have that feeling once in a while You can't be ricky rockin every fucking day. No, I can't could you imagine if anybody who talked to you All they talked to you was about fucking drumming. I know you love drumming. I know you love percussion But can you imagine every fucking body who came up to you was Can I ask you a question when you were riding every rose as it's thorn? How was your input? Can I just be ricky? Can I just be fucking a brown bear? Dude, this is this is why I do this vlog. This is why I love you to death

No, I do other thing. I sometimes I'll do a drum thing or I'll do a little song Once in a while, I'll do it. I feel like but I but that's that's my work Okay, and I don't hate it. I love my work, but I don't necessarily want to talk about it all the time Here's other stuff I want to talk about and if it falls short and people aren't into it, then they're not but You know, I'm trying my son is at the age now. He's starting to Know who I am and my impact for better or for worse on the world Like he'll listen to a band and he'll go is are they more famous or than you? Uh, I don't know jude, you know, I was like that's a hard one to answer

But he's starting to get it. He's starting to get it and that's kind of weird a little bit It's like we're talking at the very beginning of I don't know if we're on the air when we're talking about We're talking about how hollywood I was just littered with a ghost of past actors and their kids and their siblings and everybody, you know what I mean It's so weird. You know, don't you know who my dad was and I don't want jude or lucy to ever Live in my shadow for better or worse for better or worse. I want them to stand on their own You know what I mean? I want them to be their own person and be loved for their like the guy in the wall flowers

They never he never talks about his dad being bob dillon. I mean, he's fucking wall flowers or the fucking wall flowers with or without Uh, dillon kid, you know what I mean? I mean, that's kind of cool. You know, it's important that it really isn't and I want that for jude. Sure Will it help him that I have some of these connections and stuff it may or it may not So, you know, sometimes people prejudge it right off the bat, you know, sometimes they don't want you know What is so weird? I was thinking about this I was thinking about this earlier today when I was washing my truck Sometimes I just like to wash my truck because I don't trust anybody else to do it, right? Um, I was thinking that

You know in the 70s for example When a musician had something to say A lot of people would look at that musician and go well, I like their music I like the subjects they talk about and those things ring true I'm going to take what they have to say with a little bit of weight You know what I mean? So if they're protesting something, I really want to know what they're thinking about I'm kind of with them on that. You know, maybe they have a good point. Nowadays. It's like You're the show monkey. So don't fucking

Opinionate on anything Just do your job and shut up. That's how it's getting a little bit. I think that's weird And I think that's sad, you know any man It's like if somebody doesn't agree with deniro saying something about trump, let's say Uh, which he's been outspoken about that then all of a sudden deniro is a shitty actor now He's days are gone. He's fucked blah blah blah. He can't say anything bad about deniro. Come on. Really? You may not like what he's saying about trump, but I just feel like It's the opinions of people have changed. They don't want to hear anymore that

Musicians are back to Like way back into the 40s now where We don't want your opinion. Just give us a show and shut up. You know what I mean? It was so much more Influential in the 60s and 70s But we're not there anymore. We're back. You know, we've been pushed back No, it's hard to get people to want to hear anything that I have to say Unless it has to do with music. You know what I mean? Have you noticed that or am I alone and uh, are you too high to know?

I know I've uh You know It's like when a fighter is a fighter and he gets into movies People watch him because he's a fighter in a movie. Uh, he's a fighter and you can see But a lot of fighters will get out of fighting Thinking they're gonna have a movie career afterward. Right and it's very tough. They have to still be fighters actors It's hard for actors to make the switch to music

Johnny dubb one of the most famous actors in the whole world I mean, he's one of the few people that have been able to cross over a little bit But it's not like he has a number one selling record. You know what I mean? But he's playing out with Joe Perry and Alice Cooper, you know, he's doing the hollywood vampires At least he's able to live out that part of his dream But it's very very hard for actors to to switch between you and I. Okay Let me tell you something right now. I got a hollywood dream too

I would love to play fucking music. I would love to play the bass or whatever Let's pretend tomorrow. I went and fucking got a guitar and I went three fucking chords or whatever And all of a sudden I got into a movie and I got really popular, you know Sometimes it's just It's very it's like when Don Johnson made an album It's very tough to take an actor To just like the other day I was driving and I heard Jennifer Lopez music And I remember when that album came out thinking to myself

Who told fucking Jennifer she could sing? Right and she's just a sexual setting. I'm like putting it down. It's very tough to win over Especially guys like me that are old school. Katie Segal that girl has an incredible voice. You know what I mean? You know from uh sons anarchy. Yeah. Oh, she's she did half of the soundtrack Of sons of anarchy. She's an incredible singer. A lot of people don't know. I thought she goes on tour I didn't know what the fuck she was talking about. Yeah, she's phenomenal. Yeah She fucking tears it up, dude. Yeah, you wouldn't know it, you know um

But yeah, it's hard to make the crossover I mean, I remember reading an article not that long ago that was talking about bands in the greater los angeles area 30 000 organized in some disorganized bands. Okay 30 000 I don't think there's 30 000 clubs in the united states That you could go play at I mean, we're all these musicians going, you know what I mean? I mean, it's It's competitive. Everybody wants to be a rock star, you know um

It's it's it's a bitch just to just to make a living doing it is hard Just to figure out how to make a living You must know this with comedy Fuck that's a lonely job, man. I don't know how you do it. That takes some intestinal fortitude. You get all my respect I'll tell you Walking out on that stage and trying to like get people to laugh and shit. Fuck. That's fucking tough. That's tough That is tough. I I can't even I can't even imagine and it's so weird how what i'm doing on stage now Is the results of the work I put in the 90s

and we're then being Close to 2020 And i'm seeing the results from the work I put in the 90s now Wow So it's such a It's it's the journey brother. Yeah, the journey is uh It's a beautiful fucking journey and you either pick a good one Or you could pick a bad one you have a choice so you can make a fucking great journey

You know, sometimes I do these acoustic gigs with with brandon gibbs a singer for devil city angels We're just doing acoustic here. Just be him and I you know, he plays guitar I'll play a cone or something like that It will tell some stories in between and I'm always laughing and telling jokes I like to tell jokes But I can hide behind the instrument at the end of the day at the end of the day if nobody's laughing It's like okay next song, you know what I mean, right? And it's the end of it with you if it ain't working man I mean, what do you do?

You know, I mean you can't get mad at people You know I mean that that that's like counterproductive goes through different phases of your journey The first two years you blame the audience You know, there's always a blame until You become a comedian accept it and just be better The next day it's a horrible feeling to bomb Oh, it's a horrible horrible horrible feeling to bomb

Did you ever have have you ever? Been on stage and bombed with a band. Oh, yeah, what's bombing with a band like? It sucks. I remember I was just telling this story not long ago Brett and I were in another band That we played a four-wheel drive convention in Williamsburg, Pennsylvania And the only oh god 81 or something like that, you know, and the only time they clapped is when we said we were taking a break You know

And now I'm a four-wheel guy right but um It's just yeah, no, it sucks man when you bomb that hard or when people just don't react at all And I think that's what made us work so hard because we had to work so hard back there to get a reaction You know, um and especially in pennsylvania. Yeah You got to work real fucking hard. Yeah That's that's why you know, I think I think we belong in a category of our own We always said that we were the the blue collar glam band, you know what I mean? Here we were Um, you know, we definitely weren't uh a dandy, you know, as they would say in england

You know, my dad was a taxi driver, you know, how how glamorous could I really be but we fooled everybody You know, I I like that we are our work ethic is really what what drove it And I think still does we still have a great work ethic when this band gets together. We work our ass off How long do you rehearse before the tour starts? Yeah, but um usually about two weeks You know something like that and and several of those days are just figuring out your instruments You know, how you know trying to get everything to work together Just sussing out your sound getting your text to be on board you know a lot of it's production and and

I don't go on stage nervous because I can't play the songs because I've been playing these songs a long time So i'm not worried about that. I'm worried about something not working, right? You go out on stage and something fucking fails You know, I'm always worried about the the the thing that I can't control And that's the thing that makes me nuts. That's probably why I have OCDs because I can't control every aspect of it Does it happen a lot? Oh every you know, it's always gonna happen the first show at least You know and then you start to get used to it

Everything's going you're cruising along and then you drop your guard and that's when it happens again You're doing it as soon as you drop your guard something wrong happens How many shows are you doing this last tour? Not that many we only did like 36 38 something like that. Yeah So it was only like eight seven weeks or something We were doing five nights a week, but oh man on a bus Oh, yeah, I love my bus. Are you kidding me? It's your old bus. I got my own bus. Yeah, I don't own it. We lease our buses, but When we hit our 20 year anniversary

We went now we got a in order to keep doing this We need a little space if we can make it happen motley crew was doing it aerosmith So we we did it and um, it it's best I could stay out there Honest to god if it wasn't for my kids. I could almost just perpetually stay on the road I got a trailer with my motorcycle on it some of my shit I don't need a hotel most of the time Sometimes I get up in the morning go in and do the buffet come back out to my bus All my clothes are there all my stuff's there. I love I love you have a shower in the bus. Yes all that

Bathroom shower bed. It's fantastic. So when you guys travel each of you's have your own bus. Yeah. Yeah, that's how we do it Because then people will be like man, aren't you you guys are like brothers like what happened? It's like Uh, I love my sister. I don't want to live with her Love her to death. I don't want to live with her. I love Brett Bobby and cc. Don't want to live with them I see him on stage. I see him in the morning at catering Um, you know what I mean? We'll play a little football in the afternoon Go out and do a sound check and do the show. That's good. We don't we don't have to be in each other's faces 24-7 that's not good

Trust me and everything's changed. There's no more drinking. I mean, there's no more, you know I mean, I can drink I I don't so much because of what I went through it. It actually burns You know, so I don't drink anymore very rarely I don't think you know Brett's diabetics so he can't drink and Bobby and cc are both sober. So so they don't drink Completely they're totally so easy had no fucking CC is not and has not thank god. Thank god He would have died I mean the fact of the matter is and when you get to that level one or two things is gonna happen

You're either going to die or you're gonna stop either way. You're gonna stop You know what I mean? Because you can't just keep doing it. How long has he been so before by nine years? At least Yeah, something like that 11 I saw him his kid changed everything for him and you hear about this, you know Oh, my kid changed it. It really did it changed it. He gave up all that shit To make sure he was there for ballon. He's a good dad. He's a you know, Bobby's same thing. He's he's there for his kids You know You have to be yeah You have to be and and Brett's never been able to party to that same

I mean, I you know he parties but not he can't drink like a fish I mean we did all that shit in the early days. He did it in spite of being a diabetic I mean there were times where I was like fuck. He's gonna die. You know what I mean? And I think he went Yeah, I can't do this or I'm gonna die. Yeah, we all you know um, and so what's more important going on stage and playing or Doing that until you can't do it anymore and we made the choice. We want to keep playing And it's not easy. It's you know, I mean you're insulated as a rock guy I mean, I could do any drug. I wanted and I'm never going to get caught for it

Probably I mean, I'm in that tour bus or I'm back, you know, wherever I got security. I'm insulated I can fucking do drugs told the cows come home. I can just obliterate myself The only people are going to care that I'm alive or the promoters and Managers and people that want me to get on that stage every night You know what I mean? But the minute that tour is over I'm back to me caring about myself

You know what I'm saying? And that's where people go down that rabbit hole when all of a sudden there's nobody there picking you up and going No, no, no, no. You got to get up. You can't you know, you know, it's just that's when it really can go bad for people so You know, thankfully for me I just never I think I think I experimented with so much stuff when I was younger that I just didn't care about it When I got to this place when I got to the point where we were touring I did party. I ain't gonna lie about it

But I never got addicted to anything but cigarettes, you know, that was the only thing I'd ever got and girls I got very addicted to girls But I didn't get addicted to drugs. I just didn't care about coke Like everybody else did that would have taken me the fuck down Because when I when I'm into something I'm fucking into it. I mean, I'd have Scales and all that shit. I mean when I was when I smoked a lot of pot I had every fucking pot thing that you could imagine

I was like stamping making leather fucking clips and shit. I mean, I was into it man If when I get into something I get massively into it. I have a very addictive personality Thank god, I'm not addicted to any drugs because if I was I'd be dead I'd be fucking dead that got all you guys are still together and You can still do your thing and nothing bad happened to end the band a lot of bands end with a You know bad ending. Let's I mean, it's tough. Yeah, it's talking tough, man But I mean, it's tough to hold a band together. We've been together 32 years almost 33 years It's it's hard to hold it together

you know As mad as I get at these guys and I get fucking mad at these guys, you know, they I can't get them to do what I want them to do You know But I still respect them and that's the bottom line at the end of the day I think we have respect for each other even if we're fucking mad at each other I could be mad at Brett for two fucking years. I'm still going to respect them You know Because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I'm at if it wasn't for me. He wouldn't be where it was

I mean, you know, we were you know, I come from a place Okay Where a band is is a gang with instruments Okay, and there's a loyalty there Today bands are too interchangeable. But I think the members are too interchangeable People look the same one guy jumps from one band to the other. There's not the commitment You know what I'm saying? I like when a band looks like a fucking gang And that's that's what I think we came from and I

You know, motley crew was like that, you know, I mean van Halen You know, maryland manson. I mean if you shave your fucking eyebrow Do something over the top so that it it's cohesive, you know, because I believe that Uh, everything comes from your attitude Your attitude makes you play you set a soundtrack to your attitude You talk and do interviews from your attitude You look the way you look because of your attitude. That's the core thing You know what I mean is is that attitude thing?

And I think it's sorely missing from music these days because people are looking and going Uh, I don't know what kind of music I want to do. I just want to play something I'm good with whatever it is And then maybe I should come up with some kind of an image and They get it all fucked up. You know what I mean? And it's like no guys start at the core at the core Where are you at really? Are you an angry guy? Are you a happy person? Are you You know, what is it that that really rings true and then start to build your your Your whole story out of that, you know what I mean? I I want my music if I'm angry

I want my music to be angry. I want to look at I want my clothes to look like because I want to talk like this Or what this is who I am I could look in the mirror every day and do it I don't have to remember anything because I'm telling the truth every day You know what I mean to me? That's what a real rock band does. They tell the truth every day You know what I mean? And I look at so many musicians today and it's like wow, it's just so Calculated. Yeah I can't buy into it. If I'm buying into it. I'm buying into some social media guy that's sitting somewhere else coming up with this You know what I mean?

Um, you know, I come from the basements of fucking east coast where we went hacked it out. You know what I mean? That's That's that's what it's really about. That's why those all those bands are so great, you know I mean, I'm looking at black Sabbath right there. You know these guys fucking and Yeah, they didn't come from the from the swanky part of fucking England I mean, they were grinding it out man with the rest of everybody But music was the most important thing to them, you know And they would sacrifice for it that there's a certain Personal sacrifice. I've always said that real true art and I know I'm just blabbing here

But real true art has got to come from a personal place And I think it does with you and I can see that in your stand, but it took years That's the other side of that thing. It took years It took years you guys that happened with poison also It takes little years to get those layers off Yes, it's not a lot of people who want to tell the truth Listen, there's not a lot of people who want you to know who they are Now 50% of people really want you to know who they are

You know, what's going on now with music is And I think it's society We all have costumes Oh, yeah, everybody's got a fucking costume now. I've never seen More of a society with a costume. There's more costumes Yeah, when I was growing up, you had an afro You had long hair or you had short hair That's it. You had an afro

You had short hair or you had a pick in there or you had long hair The pick hadn't even come along yet, you know, I love that now. I got guys. It's 90 degrees. You're wearing a ski cap So I got to be impressed with your music You know, it's like they sell so many different things that once I see that I get turned off like I'm done If you're acting that way, I think a lot of people wear things and have stand behind an attitude But they don't even know what it means in the first place, you know what I'm saying Nothing burns me up more than some pop Total total pop star

Wearing like a metallica shirt I was like, you know, ain't fucking into metallica. What are you doing? No, you know I mean, it's like, you know, come on. It's just it's it's become a fashion thing. It's become some way of that's what Isn't that cute, you know what I mean? It's like Last two years ago, they had like two lineups that played Down there and I don't know what they wanted for the tickets of my friend. Josh most went And he said the same thing because there was a lot of people down there That paid the 500. I didn't even know why they were down there

Didn't know who the who was Didn't know who the stones where they just bought the t-shirt for 48 dollars at the door And one that is see be somebody Well, that's what I try to remember. There's a lot, you know, with a lot of these younger people They don't know who poison is some do some don't only if they decide that they want to learn about it Like a lot of people don't know Bruce Lee is Okay, we'll go back to that beginning. Okay. We didn't know who Wolfman Jack was Oh, shit two weeks ago. I said to him I asked him Wolfman Jack

Shout for the wolf man. He's gonna reach your record. It's really weird when you It's really weird when you talk. Oh, yeah, I'm not mad at you for it. No, yeah, I'm not mad at him. No Yeah, you could he call him what you want. It's just weird that A couple weeks ago, but I was playing jersey And my buddy's a long showman and he goes i'm getting off. I'll swing by To see you and he came by and we had dinner at the hotel and then he Went home, but he says as he was walking through his car He saw a young kid from work

And the kid goes, what are you doing here? He goes, I came to Meet my buddy for dinner. He goes, what are you doing? He goes, I'm here to see Joey Diaz because he goes That's what I was having dinner with So now the kid bothers him. So he said a couple weeks ago. Dice was playing in Fort Lear and One part of jersey and he went up to me goes, you know dice Isn't Fort Lear playing the kids like who's that? And he goes, so wait a second. You know who this old guy is Joey. Do you know what I'm saying? Like they just Oh, no, no, I was talking to a friend of mine that does your showrunner. He's doing the ice ice

Law and order law and order That's what they know him. That's the guy from law and order. You believe he's doing not that not the rapper I mean, I see him as the rapper.

You can't remember everything But yeah, fucking body count. Is it with iced tea? Yeah, but the the Ozfest debut of body count featuring iced tea. Yeah And you fucking believe that too. That's awesome. I I go fucking see that. Are you kidding me? Yeah, it looks like a good lineup. Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Jonathan Davis and body count at the phone It's gonna be 12 hours Holy shit, you know by by the time I think it starts like what time new year's in here. Yeah, it's crazy

Yeah, and I was telling the story that somebody called me and said hey, we have a function We're really interesting. You and playing it down new years and I told my wife What's what you got to lose? Oh They go it's 10 30 though. We want you to go on between 10 30 and 11. I was like, you know what guys I thought about them like I really don't like going up that late on new years If I do anything, it's at the ice house early And two days later they announced this and I'm like, thank God

You know, you know what one thing I wanted to talk about too that I forgot to mention When we were talking about Earlier like, you know, some things just had that feeling to it and all that kind of stuff We played Bethel, New York where wood stock was and I did a vlog about it Okay, because I was so moved by the whole thing. I was not a wood stock. I was too young My sister wanted to go. My sister is nine years is nine years older than me and

So I took a tour of wood stock like where the whole thing happened and I called the vlog sacred ground because It they've made it like a like a monument literally now Have you ever been there? No, Bethel, New York is really a nice place. By the way, I have a beautiful fucking close to that I have a friend who lives close to that And he told me about that that they had they restored something Oh, it's beautiful and they have a museum there and they have uh All kinds of art and I mean, it's just totally worth it going for the day and hanging out if there's a concert up there

Go to it. I mean, it was great. So I did a vlog about a cold sacred ground and I tried to insert Like the crowds From wood stock in the areas that I was standing in like where it would have been and where the stage was There's a little controversy exactly where the stage was But you can tell by some of the tree lines and stuff like that. They've got it pretty much figured out, you know what I mean but uh How cool man, just you know, you get a feeling that I mean there were there were plenty there's plenty of festivals But that one was truly fucking special. I bought a drum kit

I I love roger's drums and I bought a drum kit from a guy um Who was the drummer in a band called eternities children? And in 1969 they broke up, right? Oh Maybe in the 70s, but in 69 they had their first hit. That's when the the drum kit was from He didn't play quite yet when the band broke up He just put the drums in a closet Didn't touch them. I bought them from them. What two three years ago

Fucking awesome, right? They were supposed to play woodstock They termed it down Wasn't enough money and they didn't like the time of day. So they said fuck it. We're gonna go to Atlanta and play at club We'll make more money So they didn't do woodstock. He told me this whole story And uh, can you imagine what had completely changed everything? But it was just it's just weird. There's so many stories like that. They were trying to you know, there was like that band sweet water

you know But I was like man somebody needs to do a fucking documentary on your band Because they actually had two songs that were almost hits. They were like in the top 30 or it's top 20 or something like that a lot of Eternities children look them up. It's kind of crazy. I didn't know anything about it. I'd never heard of them until But he signed a fucking head for me. I have that drum kit. It's kind of cool Breaking rocket always a fucking pleasure always a pleasure Always you always come up with something fucking interesting

Oh, I can talk and talk man. I'm I'll put people to sleep I had a girlfriend that almost fucking put to sleep driving one time You just you just abandon knowledge man. That's why I love you to death Well, we got a train. We didn't talk about jujitsu hardly at all We talked about other martial arts and stuff like that and the next time maybe we'll talk about Jitsu a little more But you find you said you were going to come and you did you were a man of your word You came you fucking trained or had a good time

He didn't work me that day That was a real private. Hey man, sometimes Sometimes he gets a fucking that that was nothing to some days. He gets a hair up his ass But he always fucking respect first from that man and not Renato Magno is One of the I respect that man As much as anybody could respect anybody I'm telling you. He's just private every day

Almost every day every day. Yeah different people different time still with dany anisano. I saw those privates with dany I mean, he's teaching dany. He's teaching yoda No, that's pretty badass That's fucking crazy. I don't know if dany would like me calling them yoda, but to me. That's the biggest compliment. You can pay somebody, you know, I mean When I walked into that that's the second time I've seen them when I shit my pants I had to do everything I can just to keep it together because I know exactly what And who he was no, I know we could you can go and game of death and watch He turned him on to he turned Bruce Lee on all that shit all those weapons and stuff

That's fucking crazy. He was a gym teacher. You know that like at a high school or something dany was Or a college or something. I hope I'm getting this right He's a pretty amazing deal. He really is. You know what they did one time and I'll just wrap it up with a Cass was telling me a cast magda was telling me that at one point Bruce got interested in how hard Football players were able to hit another guy and take him down Okay, he wasn't just interested in the wrestling aspect. He thought well if I can fucking hit somebody that hard Imagine what I can do if I try to hit him wrestle him and then beat him on the ground This is what Bruce was thinking about

So dany got one of those Uh, what do they call him that did you fucking sleds? Yeah, and brought in zin Bruce's backyard. They practiced on these fucking things This is how forward thinking he was about all this kind of stuff And dany's got all this rolling around in his head. You know what I mean? And it's just uh There's so much. That's why I don't do drugs anymore because there's so many neat things to do and learn about Awesome, it would just shit would get in the way, right?
