Full Transcript for 1970 Countdown

00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:27.160 I think that people missed out on an enriching 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:31.759 experience of listening to some music from 1970. 00:06:32.699 --> 00:06:36.819 Instead of saying tough year, I wasn't into what 00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:40.480 came out that year, especially the people that 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:46.339 I have on Patreon. You had a month almost to 00:06:46.339 --> 00:06:49.800 vote on these. So there was ample time to listen 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.000 to. Albums that came out in 1970. And with all 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.709 the voting that I receive, I always say this. 00:06:59.870 --> 00:07:03.089 Yes, I asked for 10 albums. But if I only get 00:07:03.089 --> 00:07:06.279 one album from you, that's good enough for me 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.290 to work with. So there's a bunch of people that 00:07:09.290 --> 00:07:12.310 sent me three, that sent me four. And that's 00:07:12.310 --> 00:07:15.269 cool. I get it. And I get that not everything 00:07:15.269 --> 00:07:22.290 this year. skews towards what we usually listen 00:07:22.290 --> 00:07:25.629 to. Listen, there's no Iron Maiden. There's no 00:07:25.629 --> 00:07:30.509 Metallica. There's no Kiss yet. There's no ACDC 00:07:30.509 --> 00:07:37.209 yet. There will be soon. But I think this is 00:07:37.209 --> 00:07:40.410 a cool year to see what kind of got us there. 00:07:40.550 --> 00:07:46.459 Because this is probably the most non -metal 00:07:46.459 --> 00:07:50.889 list that we've ever had. And that's fine because, 00:07:50.990 --> 00:07:53.329 again, I think that it shows us the blueprint 00:07:53.329 --> 00:07:59.050 of how we got to where we are today and how we 00:07:59.050 --> 00:08:01.170 got to some of these albums that we really love. 00:08:01.709 --> 00:08:05.529 And it's funny because I voted for bands that 00:08:05.529 --> 00:08:13.370 I can't say that I particularly care for. But 00:08:13.370 --> 00:08:16.350 at the same time, I'm looking at the album and 00:08:16.350 --> 00:08:18.889 I'm thinking, damn it, I hate this band, but 00:08:18.889 --> 00:08:25.000 I can't. I cannot say no to the influence of 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.439 this album or how good some of these songs are. 00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:34.620 So anyway, Victor, that's what, that's what makes 00:08:34.620 --> 00:08:36.820 you such a great music host. It's you're not, 00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:40.039 you know, you're willing to listen to things 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:43.620 and you're willing to judge them on their, their 00:08:43.620 --> 00:08:47.840 merit. And, and also maybe it's not what you 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.360 listen to or what you cared about, but I mean, 00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:53.470 you can't deny the impact. something has had 00:08:53.470 --> 00:08:57.950 in the history of music. And yeah, that's, and, 00:08:58.289 --> 00:09:00.409 and also I got to say that when you first proposed 00:09:00.409 --> 00:09:02.809 doing 1970, I kind of felt the same way as a

00:09:02.809 --> 00:09:05.350 lot of people. I was like 70. I mean, holy crap. 00:09:05.429 --> 00:09:10.289 I didn't own an album in 1970. And as I looked 00:09:10.289 --> 00:09:12.629 through the list, there were, there were, I did 00:09:12.629 --> 00:09:14.830 own some of the, eventually own some of these 00:09:14.830 --> 00:09:19.139 albums, but I know my brother did. And. Anyway, 00:09:19.340 --> 00:09:22.259 I think when you talked about the historical 00:09:22.259 --> 00:09:25.120 aspect of it and how these are the building blocks 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:29.399 of the music that we love, I was like, yeah, 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.639 you're right, man. Damn it, Victor's right again. 00:09:32.620 --> 00:09:34.639 Victor's right more than he is wrong, by the 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.080 way. Just want to say that. I appreciate that. 00:09:38.139 --> 00:09:42.679 But even looking at this list, my number one 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:46.389 is an album that I've listened to a lot. over 00:09:46.389 --> 00:09:49.490 the years. I wasn't born when this album came 00:09:49.490 --> 00:09:51.750 out, but it doesn't mean that I don't love it. 00:09:51.830 --> 00:09:54.649 And even though I may be sick of a lot of songs 00:09:54.649 --> 00:10:00.440 on the album currently doesn't mean that I didn't 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:05.179 play it to death. Doesn't mean that I don't understand 00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:09.740 the magnitude of this album. And it wasn't a 00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:13.279 lot of people's number one, but it's, it's up 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:22.559 there. I'll say this. Every album that made the 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.470 top 10 was voted on by more than one person. 00:10:26.690 --> 00:10:34.990 The number one and two appear on everybody's 00:10:34.990 --> 00:10:40.769 list. Yeah. Number three appeared on actually 00:10:40.769 --> 00:10:44.529 three and four appeared on almost everybody's 00:10:44.529 --> 00:10:48.399 lists. So that goes that goes to show how important 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:55.250 those first four albums are. And there's there's 00:10:55.250 --> 00:10:57.590 a lot of albums that kind of meandered back and 00:10:57.590 --> 00:11:00.970 forth that were very close in voting. But when 00:11:00.970 --> 00:11:03.070 it all settled, I think this is a solid bunch 00:11:03.070 --> 00:11:08.200 of albums. So hear me out for a second, Victor. 00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.059 I'm sorry to keep hijacking this. But, you know, 00:11:11.100 --> 00:11:13.179 one thing that blew my mind is thinking about, 00:11:13.259 --> 00:11:21.120 OK, 1970, that was 56. Years ago. So if we were 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:25.240 in 1970 right now, 56 years before that would 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:33.740 be 1914, right? How much music from 1914 were 00:11:33.740 --> 00:11:38.080 people listening to in 1970? Not too much. Well, 00:11:38.299 --> 00:11:42.799 I guess you're going to have your World War I 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.539 vets probably listening to some of what? They 00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:49.320 listened to when they were shipped off or, you 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:55.899 know. Call to arms, right, Jeremy? Okay, sorry. 00:11:56.100 --> 00:11:59.519 All right. But anyway, didn't it kind of, you 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:01.019 know, all these people that want to say rock 00:12:01.019 --> 00:12:04.100 is dead and all this crap. It's like, holy crap, 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.820 this music has endured. I mean, yeah, it's not, 00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:10.480 it's, you know, real rock, at least in the U 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:15.620 .S., is not everywhere you look. But 56 years. 00:12:16.470 --> 00:12:19.870 And we're still listening to, you still hear 00:12:19.870 --> 00:12:22.649 these so many songs, more than a few of these. 00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:27.470 Yeah, the other thing to mention with this, just 00:12:27.470 --> 00:12:30.610 before we go into the top 10, is that, you know, 00:12:30.610 --> 00:12:33.769 we're talking about 1970s, so we're heading into 00:12:33.769 --> 00:12:37.720 the 70s, but really these are 60s albums. This 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.840 is the end of the 60s. So there's a lot of influences 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.519 coming in from the 60s. And you can hear it in 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.200 these albums that we're going to talk about now, 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:49.019 how some of them have these 60s influences still 00:12:49.019 --> 00:12:51.639 in there, and some of them are starting to forge 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.159 a new sound. And I think that's what's really 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:57.659 interesting. And that new sound is what we still 00:12:57.659 --> 00:13:00.500 listen to today in various bits of our music. 00:13:00.740 --> 00:13:03.919 The two of us have listened to an album that 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.830 we'll be talking about next week. We have an 00:13:07.830 --> 00:13:13.730 Excel spreadsheet where we're able to say, well, 00:13:13.809 --> 00:13:18.389 I listened to this. We can kind of point that 00:13:18.389 --> 00:13:20.870 out to one another. And we try to not overlap. 00:13:21.250 --> 00:13:24.049 But there's one album specifically, Jeremy, that 00:13:24.049 --> 00:13:27.350 you and I listened to that is heavily influenced 00:13:27.350 --> 00:13:32.070 by what's on Brad's t -shirt. Yes, of course. 00:13:33.090 --> 00:13:38.840 And they're not. the only band, you know? So, 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.399 and, and there's other things on here that as 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:46.600 I'm, as I was going through some of these albums, 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:51.340 I'm thinking, shit, I haven't listened to this 00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:54.740 in a long time. And this is a really good album. 00:13:54.860 --> 00:13:59.159 This is a great track. This is an important track. 00:14:00.250 --> 00:14:03.750 The last person that I interviewed played with 00:14:03.750 --> 00:14:08.049 one of these bands. that's going to appear on 00:14:08.049 --> 00:14:18.610 our

list so uh oh oh no was that uh rev i i i 00:14:18.610 --> 00:14:20.669 listened to that today by the way everybody watching 00:14:20.669 --> 00:14:24.409 this go listen to uh victor's uh interview with 00:14:24.409 --> 00:14:28.129 rev jones um yeah the dude's dude's got some 00:14:28.129 --> 00:14:30.470 great stories yeah it's it's funny too because 00:14:30.470 --> 00:14:33.649 on one of the shorts somebody's criticized what 00:14:33.649 --> 00:14:37.309 he said of about preferring to see metallic alive 00:14:37.309 --> 00:14:41.379 over mega death mega death because he just and 00:14:41.379 --> 00:14:44.879 and somebody was like oh you know well uh it 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.259 isn't all about the show blah blah blah what 00:14:47.259 --> 00:14:50.500 does this guy know and i respond to the guy i 00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:53.379 said you know thanks for watching you do know 00:14:53.379 --> 00:14:55.840 he's a professional traveling musician right 00:14:57.409 --> 00:15:02.590 so i've only seen him once i know but here we 00:15:02.590 --> 00:15:04.809 are going off track again and it was playing 00:15:04.809 --> 00:15:07.149 with michael shanker and i was like i had no 00:15:07.149 --> 00:15:09.370 idea who he was i'm like Who the hell is this 00:15:09.370 --> 00:15:12.470 guy? And he's, like, just shredding all over 00:15:12.470 --> 00:15:15.009 Michael's stuff on the bass. And it's like, I'm 00:15:15.009 --> 00:15:17.470 not sure that's what Michael was looking for, 00:15:17.509 --> 00:15:21.389 but maybe what do I know? Of course, Carmine, 00:15:21.409 --> 00:15:24.350 a piece, was playing the drums on that show, 00:15:24.350 --> 00:15:27.230 too. That was kind of weird. Weird things. All 00:15:27.230 --> 00:15:29.350 right, never mind. Back to the 70s. So here we 00:15:29.350 --> 00:15:36.169 go. Number 10. Okay. The title of this album 00:15:36.169 --> 00:15:40.529 comes from a line in West Side Story. One of 00:15:40.529 --> 00:15:50.399 the band's favorite films. I'm thinking Brad 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.779 will probably get this just from this. I don't 00:15:53.779 --> 00:15:58.259 know. It's the band's second album and last on 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.240 Frank Zappa's straight label before they moved 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.950 to Warner Brothers. Oh, that's going to be Alice 00:16:05.950 --> 00:16:11.149 Cooper. Drummer Neil Smith said producer David 00:16:11.149 --> 00:16:16.700 Briggs. Disliked the band's music. Briggs also 00:16:16.700 --> 00:16:20.480 co -produced Neil Young's After the Gold Rush, 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:25.460 another 1970s album that got a vote in this year's 00:16:25.460 --> 00:16:31.450 countdown. I actually voted for that. The closing 00:16:31.450 --> 00:16:35.309 track, Lay Down and Die, Goodbye, opens with 00:16:35.309 --> 00:16:39.210 a sample of Tom Smothers saying, you are the 00:16:39.210 --> 00:16:44.860 only censor. It sold poorly. A few early U .S. 00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:48.659 copies were pressed with Zappa's Bizarre Label 00:16:48.659 --> 00:16:53.779 instead of Straight. Let's see. It was released 00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:58.720 in March of 1970 on Straight Records, recorded 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:03.259 at SunWest Studios, Hollywood, November to December 00:17:03.259 --> 00:17:09.720 1969, as you guys mentioned. Producer David Briggs. 00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:15.140 And interestingly enough, Not voted number one 00:17:15.140 --> 00:17:20.750 by anybody. But at number 10, it is easy action 00:17:20.750 --> 00:17:30.289 by Alice Cooper. Alice is on the phone calling 00:17:30.289 --> 00:17:36.190 Brad. He's calling. Brad, you guessed it. What 00:17:36.190 --> 00:17:40.369 do you mean? He wants to know why he's only number 00:17:40.369 --> 00:17:43.490 10. He's pulling a Johan on us here. He's like, 00:17:43.569 --> 00:17:49.740 10? I should be number 10. Three. So what's your 00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:58.420 comment on Easy Action? I've got to be honest. 00:17:58.539 --> 00:18:01.079 I really haven't spent much time with this album, 00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:04.519 so I can't make an intelligent comment. Have 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:07.559 you listened to this album at all? I didn't even 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.339 realize this was out in 1970. When I looked through 00:18:10.339 --> 00:18:13.440 all the 1970 albums, I didn't see this one, so 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.759 I can't comment. Can you just remind me where 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:20.220 it was in his canon of albums? How early in his 00:18:20.220 --> 00:18:23.920 career? Second album? Second album. And second 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.460 album and last on Frank Zappa's straight label 00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:28.559 before moving to Warner Brothers and love it 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:31.900 to death. All I can say about Alice Cooper is 00:18:31.900 --> 00:18:33.839 he should always listen to his early stuff. I've 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.920 not listened to this particular one, and so I 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.160 will go away and listen to it and probably take 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:43.440 something out of it, yeah, because he's an important 00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.519 part of rock music at the time, really, and is 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:49.960 now. You know, he's still going. He's still playing 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:55.059 live. And not only that, but doing a great job. 00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:59.940 He still performs and sounds great. Yeah. And 00:18:59.940 --> 00:19:01.980 I bet there's a lot of young people now who might 00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:05.099 even go and see him because they've just heard 00:19:05.099 --> 00:19:07.680 of him or they know he's got a great show. And 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:09.579 they probably don't realize that this guy was 00:19:09.579 --> 00:19:15.140 releasing albums in 1970. 56 years ago. Yeah. 00:19:16.259 --> 00:19:22.710 It's crazy. Crazy. There you go. Okay. So. Number 00:19:22.710 --> 00:19:27.720 nine. Released in December of 1970 on Mercury

00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:32.480 Records. Recorded at Vantone Studios in New Jersey. 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.900 Mixed at Electric Ladyland Studios in New York. 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.220 Producers, the producer was Mike Appel and Jim 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.079 Kritekos. I don't know how to pronounce that. 00:19:46.329 --> 00:19:54.230 Engineered by Eddie Kramer and Kim King. No first 00:19:54.230 --> 00:19:58.789 place votes either, but let's see. In 1971, Cream 00:19:58.789 --> 00:20:02.289 reviewed this album as one of the earliest documented 00:20:02.289 --> 00:20:06.269 uses of heavy metal to describe a style of music. 00:20:08.309 --> 00:20:12.410 Producer Mike Appel later became Bruce Springsteen's 00:20:12.410 --> 00:20:17.109 manager, and he and Creed Techos produced Springsteen's 00:20:17.109 --> 00:20:19.509 debut Greetings from Asbury Park, New Jersey. 00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:23.839 Engineer Eddie Kramer was famous for his work 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:26.440 with Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, and the mix 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:32.880 was done at Hendrix Electric Lady Studios. The 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:38.119 band was a power trio from Brooklyn. John Garner 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:43.960 on drums and lead vocals, Louis Dombra on guitar, 00:20:44.099 --> 00:20:50.059 and Gary Justin on bass. It is now regarded as 00:20:50.059 --> 00:20:52.299 one of the earliest heavy metal records and a 00:20:52.299 --> 00:20:56.890 forerunner of stoner rock. Despite its reputation, 00:20:57.509 --> 00:21:02.190 today it sold poorly and the band made only one 00:21:02.190 --> 00:21:10.579 more album in that era. Any ideas? I'm stumped. 00:21:10.660 --> 00:21:15.259 I should know this stuff. I should know. I feel 00:21:15.259 --> 00:21:21.059 like Dan. How do I not know this? No, I can't 00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:22.660 recognize the names of them. I don't even recognize 00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:24.819 any of the guys in the band. I was three years 00:21:24.819 --> 00:21:31.099 old. Oh, yes, Sir Lord Baltimore. Oh, yes. Now 00:21:31.099 --> 00:21:33.599 I did listen to this. Kingdom Come by Sir Lord 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:35.660 Baltimore. Well, since you did listen to it, 00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:39.670 Jeremy, your thoughts? Yeah, I mean, it sounded 00:21:39.670 --> 00:21:44.849 of its time. It did have some heavy rock influences 00:21:44.849 --> 00:21:48.349 into it. I can't say I thoroughly enjoyed it 00:21:48.349 --> 00:21:51.029 because it wasn't – No, the reason was because 00:21:51.029 --> 00:21:54.230 I'm comparing it to the very best of that year. 00:21:54.710 --> 00:21:56.670 And we're going to come on to those in a minute, 00:21:56.710 --> 00:21:59.950 the four or five that are at the top. So for 00:21:59.950 --> 00:22:02.750 me, I was always comparing it to those, but I 00:22:02.750 --> 00:22:05.710 could see that it had something about it. And 00:22:05.710 --> 00:22:07.829 it was certainly something that you want to dig 00:22:07.829 --> 00:22:11.230 into. It had all those sort of proto -rock influences. 00:22:11.430 --> 00:22:14.049 It had a little bit of sort of doomy sounds to 00:22:14.049 --> 00:22:17.849 it. And there was just something a little bit. 00:22:18.589 --> 00:22:20.549 eccentric about it which is kind of what the 00:22:20.549 --> 00:22:23.970 70s was all about i guess so yeah there was something 00:22:23.970 --> 00:22:29.380 there okay uh and i you know i'd heard the band 00:22:29.380 --> 00:22:31.460 before i'd heard the band name before but never 00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:33.779 really i'd never really dug into it i'd never 00:22:33.779 --> 00:22:35.859 really sort of heard any music yeah same same 00:22:35.859 --> 00:22:37.660 for me and this is one that i'm going to go back 00:22:37.660 --> 00:22:39.319 and listen to there are others that i didn't 00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:41.279 get a chance to listen to there was this there 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.519 was the the cactus album as well which i listened 00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:48.940 to part of There's a few others from 1970 that 00:22:48.940 --> 00:22:52.519 I want to go back and revisit. Yeah. Brad, anything 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.509 on this album? No, other than this is a band 00:22:56.509 --> 00:22:59.289 that when anybody talks about the beginnings 00:22:59.289 --> 00:23:01.529 of heavy metal, they always get lumped in there 00:23:01.529 --> 00:23:04.369 as one of those bands. And I feel like at one 00:23:04.369 --> 00:23:06.190 point I'm like, okay, I got to listen to this 00:23:06.190 --> 00:23:08.789 and I didn't get very deep into it. So it just 00:23:08.789 --> 00:23:12.049 didn't, it didn't really strike me as like, Ooh, 00:23:12.109 --> 00:23:14.960 I want to listen to this. Okay. No problem. But 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:21.190 I will also give it a listen. Number eight. All 00:23:21.190 --> 00:23:28.390 right. Released June 26th, 1970 on Island Records. 00:23:29.069 --> 00:23:32.289 Recorded at Trident and Island Studios in London, 00:23:32.430 --> 00:23:38.349 January to June 1970. Produced by the band. Assisted 00:23:38.349 --> 00:23:45.460 by Roy Thomas Baker. And let's see the tidbits 00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:51.089 here. So the one big song off of this, a huge 00:23:51.089 --> 00:23:54.710 song off of this, was released as a single in 00:23:54.710 --> 00:23:58.130 May of 1970, reached number two in the UK, number 00:23:58.130 --> 00:24:01.029 four in the US. It remains a classic rock radio 00:24:01.029 --> 00:24:12.119 staple. Wow. Let's see. I think it's the drummer, 00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:15.380 and I know the lead singer, wrote this song after 00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:19.190 a gig that went overly... went over badly, wanting 00:24:19.190 --> 00:24:23.519 an upbeat song to close their shows. Oh, no, 00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:26.720 it's the bass player. Okay. The band was remarkably 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:31.079 young. The bass player was just 17 when the sessions 00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:34.440 began.

Roy Thomas Baker, who helped produce it, 00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:37.660 later produced Queen, including Bohemian Rhapsody. 00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:40.819 It reached number two on the UK album chart, 00:24:40.900 --> 00:24:44.460 spending 18 weeks there and number 17 in the 00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:49.559 US. The band played the Isle of Wight Festival 00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:56.390 in August of 1970 at the height of the album's 00:24:56.390 --> 00:25:03.700 success. Okay. Take a stab, Jeremy. I think I'm 00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:08.440 guessing it might be free. You are guessing. 00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:13.240 Maybe not. Oh, I'm right. It is Fire and Water 00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:16.650 by Free. All Right Now was released as a single 00:25:16.650 --> 00:25:19.450 in May of 1970 and reached number two in the 00:25:19.450 --> 00:25:24.069 UK and four in the US. And Andy Frazier and Paul 00:25:24.069 --> 00:25:27.309 Rogers wrote All Right Now after a gig that went 00:25:27.309 --> 00:25:31.470 over badly, wanting an upbeat song to close their 00:25:31.470 --> 00:25:35.349 shows. And Andy Frazier was only 17 when the 00:25:35.349 --> 00:25:40.569 session began. Huge song. And let's hear it. 00:25:40.630 --> 00:25:45.019 Still huge. Still hear it. Yeah. All the time. 00:25:46.009 --> 00:25:49.130 Wow. But it also has that song Mr. Big on it. 00:25:49.130 --> 00:25:51.410 Absolutely, yeah. That's another one. Which is 00:25:51.410 --> 00:25:55.150 another great song. And not only the name of 00:25:55.150 --> 00:26:02.359 the band that they influenced. Yeah. So I'm going 00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:05.160 to say that this is the first on our list album 00:26:05.380 --> 00:26:09.799 that is still relevant today. Okay. Because, 00:26:09.859 --> 00:26:12.579 I mean, I don't know a single song off those 00:26:12.579 --> 00:26:17.900 other two albums. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, if 00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:20.380 you write a hit, you're going to be known, aren't 00:26:20.380 --> 00:26:22.099 you? You're going to be remembered if you do 00:26:22.099 --> 00:26:24.759 write a hit. And they certainly did write a hit 00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:27.119 on it. Also, they had one of the greatest lead 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:29.960 singers of all time at that time. There were 00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.839 a few around. He's still an incredible singer. 00:26:33.980 --> 00:26:36.799 He's got an amazing voice. And David Kossoff 00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.359 was a great guitarist as well. Yes. Not David 00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:41.380 Kossoff, Paul Kossoff. David was his father. 00:26:41.900 --> 00:26:45.900 Paul Kossoff, yeah. He was great, but the whole 00:26:45.900 --> 00:26:47.680 band was great. They were a very bluesy band. 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:50.660 Yeah. Paul Rogers is great so long as he's not 00:26:50.660 --> 00:26:57.319 fronting Queen. Yeah. Yeah. But they had all 00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.380 that blues. It was a very, very loose album. 00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.099 If you listen to

it, there's a lot of looseness 00:27:02.099 --> 00:27:04.099 about it. It's very sort of, you know, let's 00:27:04.099 --> 00:27:09.039 take something and let's play. And that's kind 00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:13.759 of what it was in the 1970s. But they were great 00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:18.200 live. A lot of people really liked them. But 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:19.839 they just kind of got that balance right with 00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:23.759 getting that hit single, which is what you need, 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:28.049 and also being true to your roots. And that's 00:27:28.049 --> 00:27:30.609 kind of what they did. It would have been interesting 00:27:30.609 --> 00:27:33.609 to see if they'd have been all around today if 00:27:33.609 --> 00:27:36.859 they were still doing that kind of stuff. I mean, 00:27:36.859 --> 00:27:39.019 they've still released albums over the years. 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:44.799 My thing that I want to bring up now that I brought 00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:47.759 the whole Paul Rogers and Queen thing, because 00:27:48.299 --> 00:27:50.740 I've seen this with Paul Rogers and Queen, I've 00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:54.039 seen it with Ian Gillen and Black Sabbath, and 00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:58.460 now we're seeing it with Sebastian Bach and Twisted 00:27:58.460 --> 00:28:03.680 Sister. Should those bands, who are arguably 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:08.880 bigger than the bands from where the singers 00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:13.890 are coming from, Should they be covering their 00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:18.279 hits? Should Queen have been doing free songs 00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:21.619 live? Should Twisted Sister be doing Skid Row 00:28:21.619 --> 00:28:24.740 songs live? And should Black Sabbath have been 00:28:24.740 --> 00:28:30.349 doing Deep Purple live? Oh, that's a weird suggestion. 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:37.240 Yeah, I'm pretty liberal on this type of thing. 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:39.400 I'm like, hey, if a band wants to play a song, 00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:41.500 go ahead. As long as it's not, won't be fooled 00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:51.359 again. Yes. Yes. And they are fooling. They're 00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.539 saying won't get fooled again as they're fooling 00:28:53.539 --> 00:28:57.339 us, as they're trying to fool us. Right. Right. 00:28:57.640 --> 00:28:59.960 But I mean, I don't know. I actually thought, 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:02.980 I mean, Black Sabbath doing smoke on the water 00:29:02.980 --> 00:29:08.299 was no doubt just weird as hell, but I thought 00:29:08.299 --> 00:29:10.259 it was kind of cool. I mean, it was like, man, 00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:13.900 that, that, I don't know. Queen doing. Yeah. 00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:16.160 You had the voice, you had the voice that sang 00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:20.640 it. It'd be different if like Ozzy was singing, 00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:26.460 then it would have been really weird. And as 00:29:26.460 --> 00:29:31.329 far as Paul Rogers and queen, I don't even know 00:29:31.329 --> 00:29:34.029 what to say about that other than, you know, 00:29:34.029 --> 00:29:36.569 those poor guys having to deal with that, but 00:29:36.569 --> 00:29:38.250 they are losing Freddie Mercury and then trying 00:29:38.250 --> 00:29:44.009 to figure out a way forward. Yeah. That was just 00:29:44.009 --> 00:29:47.769 tough. That was just tough. And, you know, what 00:29:47.769 --> 00:29:51.730 they decided to do didn't really work. So, and 00:29:51.859 --> 00:29:54.680 what about Sebastian now doing it with Twisted 00:29:54.680 --> 00:30:01.140 Sister? Twisted Sister, Twisted Sister being 00:30:01.140 --> 00:30:03.299 the bigger of the two bands. I mean, this would, 00:30:03.460 --> 00:30:08.839 I mean, I get it. Let's, let's say, let's devil's 00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:14.369 advocate. Dee Snider joined Skid Row. I would 00:30:14.369 --> 00:30:17.809 understand. I understand them doing I want to 00:30:17.809 --> 00:30:21.670 rock and we're not going to take it because those 00:30:21.670 --> 00:30:26.130 songs are massive. Were youth gone wild and 18 00:30:26.130 --> 00:30:30.740 in life as big as those two songs? No, they weren't. 00:30:32.710 --> 00:30:36.509 No. Was all right now bigger than Bohemian Rhapsody, 00:30:36.630 --> 00:30:43.839 bigger than. Well, OK, it'd be like when Axl 00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:47.160 sang for AC. But he didn't do any Guns N' Roses 00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:50.420 with them. I know, but can you imagine them ACDC 00:30:50.420 --> 00:30:53.299 doing welcome to the jungle? Because that makes 00:30:53.299 --> 00:30:58.380 no sense. No, no, but it would have been, I don't 00:30:58.380 --> 00:31:04.000 know. Now I want to hear that. Can Angus play 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.519 it? Let's, let's, let's, let's keep going here. 00:31:06.619 --> 00:31:09.240 Cause if not, it's going to be a four hour show. 00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:12.740 You say that. Yeah, you're right. I apologize. 00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:20.650 No, that's fine. Number seven. Okay. Released 00:31:20.650 --> 00:31:26.609 the 9th of February, 1970, on Elektra Records. 00:31:27.740 --> 00:31:32.599 Recorded at Elektra Sound Recorders, Los Angeles, 00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:39.160 from November 1969 to January 1970. Producer, 00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:44.829 Paul A. Rothschild, engineered by Bruce Botnick. 00:31:48.150 --> 00:31:55.940 Harry Diltz. Shot the cover. You're just making 00:31:55.940 --> 00:32:00.539 this up. In downtown L .A. The band had no permission, 00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:03.619 so they ran in while the desk clerk stepped away. 00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:09.099 The back cover shows the Hard Rock Cafe, a bar 00:32:09.099 --> 00:32:14.319 on East 5th Street, which gave Side 1 its title. 00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:22.470 Side 2 is titled the actual name of the album. 00:32:23.660 --> 00:32:28.849 John Sebastian plays harmonica on one of the 00:32:28.849 --> 00:32:35.380 big singles credited as G Pugliese because of 00:32:35.380 --> 00:32:38.640 his record contract.

Lonnie Mack plays bass on 00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:45.390 it. No shit. One of the tracks, Indian Summer, 00:32:45.490 --> 00:32:50.349 dates back to August 1966 from the sessions for 00:32:50.349 --> 00:32:53.480 the band's debut album. It reached number four 00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:57.180 in the US, number 12 in the UK. It is the highest 00:32:57.180 --> 00:33:04.869 charting album in Britain. The old Hard Rock 00:33:04.869 --> 00:33:08.730 Cafe building later appeared in Michael Jackson's 00:33:08.730 --> 00:33:19.400 Beated video. The Morrison Hotel building was 00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:26.480 badly damaged by fire in December of 2024. The 00:33:27.410 --> 00:33:34.269 album is... One of your favorite bands. Morrison 00:33:34.269 --> 00:33:41.400 Hotel by The Doors this is a band that I've never 00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:44.339 been a fan of and this is what I mentioned at 00:33:44.339 --> 00:33:46.700 the beginning because I've listened to this album 00:33:46.700 --> 00:33:51.019 quite a bit thanks to US Radio and due to it 00:33:51.019 --> 00:33:54.230 being for the longest time my wife's favorite 00:33:54.230 --> 00:34:03.789 band Roadhouse Blues what's that? You still married 00:34:03.789 --> 00:34:06.150 her. Still married her. Yeah. Well, Metallica 00:34:06.150 --> 00:34:10.030 is her favorite band now. So there were some 00:34:10.030 --> 00:34:13.630 things that changed along the way. But Roadhouse 00:34:13.630 --> 00:34:17.869 Blues appears on this. Peace Frog. There's a 00:34:17.869 --> 00:34:20.610 bunch of other songs that have appeared on U 00:34:20.610 --> 00:34:24.309 .S. radio a ton over the years. I can't deny 00:34:24.309 --> 00:34:27.489 the magnitude of this album. How many people 00:34:27.489 --> 00:34:32.329 were influenced by Jim Morrison? whether I agreed 00:34:32.329 --> 00:34:37.269 with his lifestyle or not. It was his life ultimately. 00:34:38.150 --> 00:34:41.650 And there's so many people that have come after 00:34:41.650 --> 00:34:46.349 him that have been influenced by him. And this 00:34:46.349 --> 00:34:48.630 band and the musicians in this band were never 00:34:48.630 --> 00:34:55.579 the same after he died. So the proof is in the 00:34:55.579 --> 00:34:58.840 fact that anytime the band, any of the members. 00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:03.760 that are alive still or have since passed away. 00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:09.460 Anything notable has been a cover of an old Doors 00:35:09.460 --> 00:35:12.380 track with them being featured, specifically 00:35:12.380 --> 00:35:15.599 Ray Manzarek playing keyboards on different covers 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:21.019 of Doors songs. It deserves to be on here because 00:35:21.019 --> 00:35:30.920 of its influence. I agree. I agree. And this 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.079 is one album that was in my house in 1970, but 00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:41.349 yeah, it wasn't in my room. But I heard it through 00:35:41.349 --> 00:35:45.119 the walls. There you go. Jeremy, this is their 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:50.500 biggest chart -topping success in Britain. Yeah, 00:35:50.619 --> 00:35:54.840 never heard it. Never heard it. Because, no, 00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:56.840 there's a reason. I know you're laughing, but 00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:59.280 there's a reason. I was far too young to get 00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:01.860 into The Doors. The Doors kind of finished at 00:36:01.860 --> 00:36:05.519 a certain point in time when I was too young, 00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:08.539 whereas other bands that we might come on to 00:36:08.539 --> 00:36:11.039 talk about have kept going. And so obviously 00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:14.340 I would get into those bands. But no, honestly, 00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:16.980 I never really got into The Doors very much. 00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:19.900 I'd probably heard a few tracks by them, but 00:36:19.900 --> 00:36:22.599 never really. I didn't even know this album existed. 00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:28.239 Till now. Never heard of it. There you go. All 00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:33.909 right. Wow. Yeah. Moving on. Number six. Okay. 00:36:34.750 --> 00:36:41.239 So this was released 7th of March, 1970 on windfall 00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:44.840 records recorded at the record plant, New York 00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:51.789 city from 69 to 1970. I mentioned who produced 00:36:51.789 --> 00:36:57.159 it. I'm sure. Yeah. I'm sure you guys will get 00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:00.199 it. So let's see if I can slide some of these 00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:02.820 other tidbits in there without giving it away. 00:37:02.940 --> 00:37:06.619 Because the first few, there's no exact way that 00:37:06.619 --> 00:37:12.670 I can do it. Okay. So the cover was painted by 00:37:12.670 --> 00:37:19.590 Gail Collins. Done. You got it? It's Mountain. 00:37:20.730 --> 00:37:27.860 Okay. No. How'd you get that? I was going to 00:37:27.860 --> 00:37:30.519 bet money that I would get this one right. How 00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:33.599 did you get that from the name Gail Collins? 00:37:35.150 --> 00:37:42.000 She co -wrote some of the songs. Okay, so, yeah, 00:37:42.329 --> 00:37:47.250 so it's the bass player Felix Papalardi's wife 00:37:47.250 --> 00:37:50.849 and mountain lyricist who appears on it standing 00:37:50.849 --> 00:37:57.880 in front of a mountain. The album reached number 00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:03.199 17 on the Billboard 200, spending 39 weeks on 00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:06.599 the charts and went gold in August of 1970. The 00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:09.579 lineup was Leslie West, who Rev Jones worked 00:38:09.579 --> 00:38:13.199 with, on guitars and vocals, Felix Pappalardi 00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:17.480 on bass and vocals, Corky Lang on drums, and 00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:20.440 Steve Knight on keyboards. Mississippi Queen 00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:24.010 was the band's first single. Released in February 00:38:24.010 --> 00:38:28.739 of 1970 and peaked at number 21 on the Billboard 00:38:28.739 --> 00:38:32.360 Hot 100, Pappalardi had already made his name 00:38:32.360

--> 00:38:41.059 producing Creams, Disraeli Gear, and Wheels of 00:38:41.059 --> 00:38:45.039 Fire. Theme of an imaginary Western was written 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:48.599 by Creams' Jack Bruce and lyricist Pete Brown. 00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:57.719 must to learn on the drums. If you ever purchase 00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:02.420 a cowbell, which I did. And it was one of the 00:39:02.420 --> 00:39:05.960 first things that when I got it, I remember my 00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:09.320 brother played the trombone, but knew enough 00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:13.360 about music to, you know, hit the, hit the cowbell 00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:18.010 in the right rhythm and say, you need to learn 00:39:18.010 --> 00:39:22.460 how to play Mississippi queen. All right. So, 00:39:22.579 --> 00:39:30.719 Brad, tell us about climbing. Oh, you know, mountain. 00:39:31.219 --> 00:39:35.619 The funny thing is that I heard the song Mississippi 00:39:35.619 --> 00:39:41.269 Queen on radio. And then this was obviously when 00:39:41.269 --> 00:39:44.489 I was, what, 10, 11. And I had no idea who it 00:39:44.489 --> 00:39:49.050 was. And I was just transfixed by the song. It 00:39:49.050 --> 00:39:53.920 had. It had everything I wanted in music, including 00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:57.679 the cowbell. And I had no idea who it was. It 00:39:57.679 --> 00:39:59.659 took me years before I found out who it was. 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:03.039 And then I'm like, Holy crap. I need to, I need 00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:06.480 to know all about this band. And so, yeah, got 00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:11.269 this, got, got, I got it all. And, um, I just, 00:40:11.289 --> 00:40:15.289 I just love them. I, I, and, uh, yeah, this is. 00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:20.179 I think there's way too many people that don't 00:40:20.179 --> 00:40:22.559 know about Mountain. We'll see what Jeremy has 00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:26.119 to say about them. I never did get to see them, 00:40:26.449 --> 00:40:33.559 unfortunately. But, yeah, Corky Lang. You've 00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:37.800 seen Corky Lang play, right? Yes. Victor? Yeah. 00:40:38.300 --> 00:40:42.239 His fame is for throwing his sticks off the cymbals, 00:40:42.340 --> 00:40:44.820 trying to hit Leslie in the back of the head. 00:40:45.219 --> 00:40:47.559 Yeah. And it's just hilarious. And then Leslie 00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:49.780 later in their career, Leslie would get to where 00:40:49.780 --> 00:40:51.739 you could catch them. He tried to catch them 00:40:51.739 --> 00:40:56.500 as they come flying by. Yeah, so in that way, 00:40:56.500 --> 00:41:00.019 they were a bit of showmen on stage for really 00:41:00.019 --> 00:41:02.639 basically a three -piece band. The keyboard guy, 00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:05.739 like most keyboard guys, I don't even know why 00:41:05.739 --> 00:41:10.880 you got credit. Sorry, keyboard guys. Yeah, put 00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:16.389 that in one of your shorts. I just have to say 00:41:16.389 --> 00:41:19.570 I was in a band once and they

brought along this 00:41:19.570 --> 00:41:22.150 guy to play keyboards. And I was like, I'm not 00:41:22.150 --> 00:41:23.829 even going to bother to learn this guy's name. 00:41:23.989 --> 00:41:26.329 I'm just going to call him keyboard guy. And 00:41:26.329 --> 00:41:28.889 I was right at doing that because he only lasted 00:41:28.889 --> 00:41:33.119 one gig. Jeremy, your thoughts on this album? 00:41:34.030 --> 00:41:37.190 yeah it's a bit similar to free really because 00:41:37.190 --> 00:41:39.510 you've got all right now on the free album which 00:41:39.510 --> 00:41:41.769 was amazing and then you've got this mississippi 00:41:41.769 --> 00:41:44.510 queen song that two and a half minutes opens 00:41:44.510 --> 00:41:47.469 the opens the album up and if it wasn't for that 00:41:47.469 --> 00:41:49.510 song i don't think many people will have ever 00:41:49.510 --> 00:41:52.309 heard of mountain or leslie west or in the uk 00:41:52.309 --> 00:41:55.150 i mean because it you know it was just such a 00:41:55.150 --> 00:41:58.510 an amazing song it still is today you know when 00:41:58.510 --> 00:42:01.409 you hear it and it's been covered by many artists 00:42:01.409 --> 00:42:04.010 and that's the um what we're trying to get across 00:42:04.010 --> 00:42:06.829 today is the influences of these kind of albums 00:42:06.829 --> 00:42:09.949 and bands. And, you know, although Mountain were 00:42:09.949 --> 00:42:12.670 not as big a band as some of those that we might 00:42:12.670 --> 00:42:16.550 come on to talk about in a minute, they, you 00:42:16.550 --> 00:42:20.659 know, that particular song is just... is up there 00:42:20.659 --> 00:42:23.460 isn't it it's one of the one of the absolute 00:42:23.460 --> 00:42:26.659 classics of all time the riff and you know just 00:42:26.659 --> 00:42:29.519 the way it's sung and the way it's it's put across 00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:33.059 to you it's so different from the 60s it's it's 00:42:33.059 --> 00:42:36.800 suddenly it's in your face it's 1970s it's um 00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:40.619 pushing forward a new kind of music to you And 00:42:40.619 --> 00:42:42.699 it kind of overshadows the rest of the album 00:42:42.699 --> 00:42:46.079 a little bit for me. But I think, yeah, they 00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:49.059 were definitely a band that I heard of when I 00:42:49.059 --> 00:42:52.260 was quite young because of that. So, yeah, they 00:42:52.260 --> 00:42:56.539 were there and it's great. Yeah. Yeah. These 00:42:56.539 --> 00:43:00.340 guys were extremely big in the Northeast because 00:43:00.340 --> 00:43:03.699 they're from New York. Howard Stern used to have 00:43:03.699 --> 00:43:07.880 Leslie West on his show all the time. I remember 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:11.460 the old Howard Stern show, which was on WOR in 00:43:11.460 --> 00:43:17.570 New York. That's when I saw Corky Lang throwing 00:43:17.570 --> 00:43:19.989 the sticks at Leslie West for the first time. 00:43:20.469 --> 00:43:23.530 Base player for that was somebody else that I 00:43:23.530 --> 00:43:25.610 met in person and talked to. So I've actually 00:43:25.610 --> 00:43:29.590 talked to two base players that have worked with 00:43:29.590 --> 00:43:32.960 Leslie West over the years. The other one being 00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:35.739 Richie Scarlett, best known for his work with 00:43:35.739 --> 00:43:40.840 Ace Fraley. Rev Jones just recently talked about 00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:44.159 what a big influence Leslie was on Michael Shanker 00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:48.320 and a lot of those early guitarists that would 00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:51.920 go on to influence your Dave Mustaine's and James 00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:57.260 Hetfield's and people like that. So there's stuff 00:43:57.260 --> 00:44:02.119 in his playing that's vicariously gone through 00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:04.980 other players and reached other bigger players 00:44:04.980 --> 00:44:11.039 along the way um whether whether they know it 00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:15.889 or not so yeah the interesting thing about leslie's 00:44:15.889 --> 00:44:18.829 playing is that it's not you're not going to 00:44:18.829 --> 00:44:20.969 listen to him go holy crap how did he do that 00:44:20.969 --> 00:44:26.429 you know that's he's just like but his uh just 00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:29.840 his sense of of what he was playing and his tone 00:44:30.789 --> 00:44:33.409 His vibrato is, you know, I think that's where 00:44:33.409 --> 00:44:36.050 a lot of these guitars have taken away from him. 00:44:37.730 --> 00:44:40.409 It's just his approach, his approach to playing 00:44:40.409 --> 00:44:49.860 a guitar solo in a song. And yeah, yeah, a legend. 00:44:49.980 --> 00:44:53.239 So I think Jeremy said it best about this. This 00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:55.679 is right there with Free. And it's because of 00:44:55.679 --> 00:44:59.739 a big hit song. All right. So let's move on to 00:44:59.739 --> 00:45:03.619 number five. This is going to be so easy for 00:45:03.619 --> 00:45:09.719 you guys to get, I think. Okay. How do I tiptoe 00:45:09.719 --> 00:45:13.719 around this without giving it away? Oh, wow. 00:45:13.780 --> 00:45:16.380 So this was released on my wife's birthday, May 00:45:16.380 --> 00:45:23.599 8th, 1970, five years before she was born. Recorded 00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:30.949 mainly in January of 69 in Twinkleham. Oh, wow. 00:45:32.780 --> 00:45:37.440 At a famous studio and also on the roof of this 00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:42.329 studio. Oh, I think I might have it. I might 00:45:42.329 --> 00:45:45.929 know it. I'm not sure. Take a stab. Is it the 00:45:45.929 --> 00:45:52.719 Beatles? So it was recorded in Apple Studio and 00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:56.079 on the rooftop of Apple Studio, overdubs in January 00:45:56.079 --> 00:46:00.320 and April of 1970. Producer was Phil Spector. 00:46:01.289 --> 00:46:03.389 Although George Martin produced the original 00:46:03.389 --> 00:46:10.539 sessions uncredited. It was the last Beatles

00:46:10.539 --> 00:46:15.369 album released, but not the last recorded. Abbey 00:46:15.369 --> 00:46:19.730 Road was made after these sessions and came out 00:46:19.730 --> 00:46:24.730 first in September of 1969. The three tracks 00:46:24.730 --> 00:46:27.969 come from the famous or three tracks come from 00:46:27.969 --> 00:46:33.110 the famous rooftop concert. of january 30th 1969 00:46:33.110 --> 00:46:39.809 i've got a feeling one after 909 and dig a pony 00:46:39.809 --> 00:46:41.929 yeah you would think get back because there was 00:46:41.929 --> 00:46:45.150 a famous video for that right right right that's 00:46:45.150 --> 00:46:50.389 okay but no glenn johns assembled two versions 00:46:50.389 --> 00:46:53.690 called get back and the band rejected both his 00:46:53.690 --> 00:46:59.250 1969 mix was finally released in the 2021 special 00:46:59.250 --> 00:47:03.940 edition Paul McCartney disliked Spectre's orchestral 00:47:03.940 --> 00:47:07.440 and choir overdubs, which led to the strip act 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:13.159 Let It Be Naked in 2003. The Beatles won an Academy 00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:17.840 Award for the film's songs, and the album won 00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:21.940 Grammy for the best original score. It went to 00:47:21.940 --> 00:47:25.579 number one in the UK and US, and both Let It 00:47:25.579 --> 00:47:29.019 Be and The Long and Winding Road were US number 00:47:29.019 --> 00:47:35.909 one. And as we've already said, it is let it 00:47:35.909 --> 00:47:41.809 be by the Beatles. I think this is the first 00:47:41.809 --> 00:47:44.789 time Beatles have ever raised their head here 00:47:44.789 --> 00:47:47.510 on the signal. Yes, absolutely. Well, we've never 00:47:47.510 --> 00:47:50.829 really done a show where we've been in the vicinity 00:47:50.829 --> 00:47:54.489 where they could actually, you know, make a dent. 00:47:55.610 --> 00:48:00.369 Right. Just, I mean, there's three colossal songs 00:48:00.369 --> 00:48:03.559 off of this. As someone who isn't an avid Beatles 00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:05.940 fan, I just mentioned two of them, the title 00:48:05.940 --> 00:48:08.900 track, let it be and the long and winding road, 00:48:09.019 --> 00:48:11.360 but get back as the last song off of this, get 00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:16.440 back as a kid who even then was kind of tired 00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:19.179 of listening to the Beatles on the radio was 00:48:19.179 --> 00:48:21.480 still a song that I enjoyed and seeing that whole 00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:26.179 rooftop concert, you know, I thought was, was 00:48:26.179 --> 00:48:34.260 amazing. So, um, There's no denying their influence. 00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:40.440 For me, what sort of trivialized them was just 00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:43.179 how much they were on the radio. But I mean, 00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:45.900 that's no different than every generation having 00:48:45.900 --> 00:48:49.579 their own Nickelback. And no, I'm not saying 00:48:49.579 --> 00:48:52.599 Nickelback

is the same as the Beatles. I'm just 00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:57.739 saying that every wave of big music has bands 00:48:57.739 --> 00:49:00.679 that are oversaturated, that are loved by many. 00:49:01.230 --> 00:49:04.750 but also loathed by a lot of others because they're 00:49:04.750 --> 00:49:10.619 tired of hearing. I'm going to go out on a limb 00:49:10.619 --> 00:49:13.039 and say that I know more Beatles songs than Nickelback 00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:19.159 songs. Well, yeah. Yeah, that is easy. But Brad, 00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:20.800 do you have anything to say about Let It Be? 00:49:22.780 --> 00:49:26.760 No, other than I think you're spot on there with 00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:30.639 the influence. And yeah, I mean, let's face it. 00:49:30.659 --> 00:49:35.150 I'm not a big Beatles fan. I'm just not. But 00:49:35.150 --> 00:49:39.769 I can't deny what they've done for rock music 00:49:39.769 --> 00:49:42.489 and the influence they still have today. And 00:49:42.489 --> 00:49:46.250 they're still huge today. So 100 years from now, 00:49:46.309 --> 00:49:49.730 they'll still be playing Beatles songs. Jeremy? 00:49:51.059 --> 00:49:54.619 Yeah, just quickly. Obviously, a lot of metal 00:49:54.619 --> 00:49:57.590 bands have covered at least one. Beatles songs 00:49:57.590 --> 00:50:00.030 sometimes. We even know Motley Crue have done 00:50:00.030 --> 00:50:04.570 one, Whitesnake. And you name lots and lots of 00:50:04.570 --> 00:50:06.429 bands, they've all done a Beatles song because 00:50:06.429 --> 00:50:09.710 they're timeless songs. This particular album, 00:50:09.869 --> 00:50:11.489 it's amazing, isn't it? They're still going in 00:50:11.489 --> 00:50:14.230 the 70s when we're going to be talking about 00:50:14.230 --> 00:50:16.349 a lot of heavy metal. And yet they were still 00:50:16.349 --> 00:50:19.849 playing their kind of brand of rock and roll, 00:50:20.030 --> 00:50:24.909 folky, whatever it was. And Oasis is still doing 00:50:24.909 --> 00:50:28.360 it today. They're still the proponents of Beatles 00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:33.219 -type music in a way. So, yeah, they were amazing, 00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:37.360 and they've had a massive influence on our genre 00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.760 of music. They've had an influence there as well. 00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:44.480 Agreed. And there's still two of them that are 00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:48.860 playing live now. Yeah, yeah. And doing it well. 00:50:49.099 --> 00:50:51.769 Yeah. Incredible. It'd be interesting if they 00:50:51.769 --> 00:50:53.869 were all alive today, if they were still playing 00:50:53.869 --> 00:50:56.750 a festival somewhere. I mean, they'd be playing 00:50:56.750 --> 00:51:00.769 Glastonbury, I guess, headlining there. It'd 00:51:00.769 --> 00:51:04.710 be amazing. Yeah, that's probably the biggest 00:51:04.710 --> 00:51:09.329 what -if question regarding music because of 00:51:09.329 --> 00:51:12.429 all the rumors, all the things that were talked 00:51:12.429 --> 00:51:15.369 about with, you know, Lennon and McCartney actually 00:51:15.369 --> 00:51:19.739 speaking to one another before John's assassination. 00:51:22.010 --> 00:51:25.610 I mean, how many bands have gotten back together 00:51:25.610 --> 00:51:30.670 over the years? Mark Wayne Chapman doesn't happen. 00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:36.239 And at some point in the 80s, with all the money 00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:39.820 that there's to be had with, you know, We Are 00:51:39.820 --> 00:51:42.260 The World or something like that, you're telling 00:51:42.260 --> 00:51:45.139 me that, or Live Aid, Live Aid, you're telling 00:51:45.139 --> 00:51:48.780 me that they wouldn't have shelled out millions 00:51:48.780 --> 00:51:52.409 at that point. They get the Beatles to play Live 00:51:52.409 --> 00:51:57.349 Aid. Yeah. The other interesting thing to say 00:51:57.349 --> 00:51:59.070 about the Beatles is obviously they were classed 00:51:59.070 --> 00:52:01.849 as Mersey Beat, and it had a certain 60s sound, 00:52:01.909 --> 00:52:05.750 which they pushed forward. But they were very 00:52:05.750 --> 00:52:08.389 uncomfortable, I think, playing harder rock music, 00:52:08.409 --> 00:52:11.510 but they did sometimes just veer into that in 00:52:11.510 --> 00:52:14.829 the very 70s way. But there were other bands 00:52:14.829 --> 00:52:17.130 that we'll come on to who were much happier in 00:52:17.130 --> 00:52:20.219 that genre, whereas the Beatles weren't. And 00:52:20.219 --> 00:52:22.400 I think that's quite an interesting thing as 00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:25.659 well. The funny thing with that is that over 00:52:25.659 --> 00:52:30.380 the years, there have been people like Paul McCartney. 00:52:30.460 --> 00:52:33.559 There have been people like Neil Young, like 00:52:33.559 --> 00:52:40.980 Bob Dylan, and maybe McCartney to a lesser extent. 00:52:41.340 --> 00:52:46.079 I think maybe Ringo is probably closer to a metal 00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:49.840 -like arena, maybe. All these guys that I've 00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:53.300 mentioned have kind of tipped their hat to hard 00:52:53.300 --> 00:52:56.480 rock bands over the years. I know that, you know, 00:52:56.480 --> 00:53:00.320 members of Kiss have been photographed with Paul 00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:02.780 McCartney and stuff like that. But I'm talking 00:53:02.780 --> 00:53:05.920 about like Bob Dylan going to see Metallica or 00:53:05.920 --> 00:53:09.159 Neil Young and stuff like that. Why? Because 00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:11.699 of their kids getting into these bands and them 00:53:11.699 --> 00:53:15.400 ultimately getting into that music as well. And 00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:19.460 having some of these artists talk about. you 00:53:19.460 --> 00:53:22.619 know what a mind fuck it is for them to see a 00:53:22.619 --> 00:53:26.000 Bob Dylan show up to a show and say, Oh my God, 00:53:26.019 --> 00:53:27.539 I love this song of yours. And they're like, 00:53:27.619 --> 00:53:30.739 wait a second. It's Bob

Dylan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 00:53:30.739 --> 00:53:32.539 Yeah. And my kid plays the song all the time. 00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:34.320 I absolutely love it. And I love how the chord 00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:37.079 progression is and it's no different than whatever, 00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:41.860 or, you know, so I think even though there are 00:53:41.860 --> 00:53:46.969 some people that maybe poo poo, some of the stuff 00:53:46.969 --> 00:53:52.210 that we, normally love and talk about, I think 00:53:52.210 --> 00:53:54.849 that there's still influences there that get 00:53:54.849 --> 00:53:59.250 through. You can't deny Helter Skelter, She's 00:53:59.250 --> 00:54:05.260 So Heavy, and quite a few other Beatles songs 00:54:05.260 --> 00:54:09.639 that directly influenced hard rock over the years. 00:54:09.679 --> 00:54:12.099 Even Get Back, we're talking about that chugging 00:54:12.099 --> 00:54:15.170 part at the beginning. You know, how much is 00:54:15.170 --> 00:54:22.130 that influenced over the years? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 00:54:22.170 --> 00:54:27.769 the song that hit me when I was a wee lad, I 00:54:27.769 --> 00:54:30.489 think it was when my sisters had a stack of 45s, 00:54:30.489 --> 00:54:33.889 and one of them was Revolution. There's one. 00:54:34.070 --> 00:54:36.670 And when I put that on, I was like, whoa, whoa, 00:54:36.670 --> 00:54:40.150 whoa, what's going on here? Of course, the beginning 00:54:40.150 --> 00:54:42.590 of it is a little heavier than the song calms 00:54:42.590 --> 00:54:46.570 down, but it's like that. I was like, yeah, this 00:54:46.570 --> 00:54:50.820 is pretty cool. They had their moments. They 00:54:50.820 --> 00:54:55.500 could rock. All right. So we're going to get 00:54:55.500 --> 00:54:59.170 into the meat and potatoes of the voting here. 00:55:01.250 --> 00:55:04.530 These top four albums account for two thirds 00:55:04.530 --> 00:55:11.809 of the total vote. So consider that. Number four 00:55:11.809 --> 00:55:21.769 was my number one. So this was before the advent 00:55:21.769 --> 00:55:24.190 of Napster. because people would have, well, 00:55:24.230 --> 00:55:30.119 it's only a few weeks difference, but released 00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:36.599 in October 5th, 1970 in the U S first. Wow. That's 00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:41.659 a shock to me. And then October 23rd in the UK, 00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:43.639 I'm not going to say the label because that'll 00:55:43.639 --> 00:55:50.360 give it away. I think. Why are you saying that 00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:55.250 Jeremy? Cause I think I know what it is. Do you 00:55:55.250 --> 00:55:58.429 want me to guess now or wait? Let me guess. I 00:55:58.429 --> 00:56:00.550 think it's Led Zeppelin. Brad, you're saying 00:56:00.550 --> 00:56:05.610 it's... It's one song. Yes, I'm saying it's three. 00:56:05.909 --> 00:56:07.289 He's saying it's three. This was released on 00:56:07.289 --> 00:56:17.219 Atlantic. Atlantic label, yeah. Okay. It's still 00:56:17.219 --> 00:56:19.280

Led Zeppelin. It's still what? It's still... 00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:22.380 It's still Led Zeppelin. It's still saying it's 00:56:22.380 --> 00:56:26.710 Led Zeppelin. Okay. Recorded at... Heedley Grange, 00:56:26.869 --> 00:56:29.670 Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, Olympic and Island 00:56:29.670 --> 00:56:33.570 Studios in London, mixed at Arden in Memphis, 00:56:33.920 --> 00:56:39.679 recorded between November 69 and August 1970. 00:56:41.730 --> 00:56:47.980 Wow. The producer was the band's guitarist, ranked 00:56:47.980 --> 00:56:54.820 number one by Sean and myself. Way to go, Sean. 00:56:55.659 --> 00:57:04.809 Was voted on by almost everybody. Let's see. 00:57:04.889 --> 00:57:11.949 How do I put this? Let's out the people who didn't 00:57:11.949 --> 00:57:20.630 vote for this one. Let's see. No, I'll get to 00:57:20.630 --> 00:57:27.400 that tidbit last. Okay. The cover had a rotating 00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:36.070 paper wheel. I've got it designed by Zachary. 00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:42.239 It's complexity delayed the album by about two 00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:49.320 months. Uh, one of the, probably the biggest 00:57:49.320 --> 00:57:52.940 single off of the album still appearing in movies 00:57:52.940 --> 00:57:56.719 and commercials and different things today was 00:57:56.840 --> 00:58:01.099 inspired by the band's 1970s trip to Iceland. 00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:08.519 and became a top 20 single in the U .S. The album 00:58:08.519 --> 00:58:11.159 entered the U .S. charts at number three and 00:58:11.159 --> 00:58:13.940 hit number one the following week. Wow. It was 00:58:13.940 --> 00:58:22.739 also number one in the U .K. The run -out grooves 00:58:22.739 --> 00:58:25.739 of original U .K. pressing carried the inscription, 00:58:26.159 --> 00:58:35.210 Do what thou wilt, and so mote it be, from Aleister 00:58:35.210 --> 00:58:39.260 Crowley. France gave it a completely different 00:58:39.260 --> 00:58:42.239 cover, a photo of the band. Why would they do 00:58:42.239 --> 00:58:48.690 that? The French being the French, I guess. Much 00:58:48.690 --> 00:58:51.550 of the material grew out of pageant plant stay 00:58:51.550 --> 00:58:56.050 at Brannior, a 18th century cottage in Wales 00:58:56.050 --> 00:58:59.929 with no electricity or running water. I'm sure 00:58:59.929 --> 00:59:07.210 they smelt great. Anyway, so Led Zeppelin III, 00:59:07.349 --> 00:59:15.619 as you guys alluded to. This has some of my favorite 00:59:15.619 --> 00:59:17.760 Zeppelin tracks. This has some of my all -time 00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:22.320 favorite songs on it. Unfortunately, I've heard 00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:31.010 some of these songs so many times that a lot 00:59:31.010 --> 00:59:35.860 of Zeppelin albums, for me, I can listen to them 00:59:35.860 --> 00:59:41.500 once a year. And that's it. Because the radio 00:59:41.500 --> 00:59:44.440 has just destroyed most of these albums for me. 00:59:44.869 --> 00:59:47.909 And growing up as a kid, as a drummer, listening 00:59:47.909 --> 00:59:51.090 to John Bonham playing and trying to mimic John 00:59:51.090 --> 00:59:58.579 Bonham, these were huge albums for me. The Immigrant 00:59:58.579 --> 01:00:03.480 Song, Friends, Celebration Day, Out on the Tiles, 01:00:03.639 --> 01:00:08.300 Gallows Pole, Tangerine, Brawny Your Stomp. These 01:00:08.300 --> 01:00:11.300 are all songs that I've played to death. Songs 01:00:11.300 --> 01:00:13.699 off of this that I can still play without getting 01:00:13.699 --> 01:00:18.679 sick of. I absolutely love friends. I absolutely 01:00:18.679 --> 01:00:22.340 love gallows pole. And I absolutely love Ronnie 01:00:22.340 --> 01:00:30.530 or stump. They have little to do with metal. 01:00:31.010 --> 01:00:34.670 If you think about it, because these all are 01:00:34.670 --> 01:00:39.030 heavily acoustic songs, you know, could you could, 01:00:39.190 --> 01:00:41.829 and with me saying that they have absolutely 01:00:41.829 --> 01:00:44.090 everything to do with metal at the same time 01:00:44.090 --> 01:00:48.639 with their how the songs are put together, how 01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:54.050 you got songs, how they progressed after this, 01:00:54.190 --> 01:01:00.780 how they were, how they influenced a lot of thrash. 01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:03.960 I think, I think a lot of thrash with a lot of 01:01:03.960 --> 01:01:08.039 acoustic intros and things like that came from 01:01:08.039 --> 01:01:13.690 this. I think also the fact that you even had 01:01:13.690 --> 01:01:16.829 Sabbath doing a lot of acoustic stuff. And I 01:01:16.829 --> 01:01:20.420 don't think that's, I think that's by design. 01:01:20.659 --> 01:01:25.219 I think that's by blues influencing both bands. 01:01:25.380 --> 01:01:27.800 But I do think that since both bands were from 01:01:27.800 --> 01:01:31.820 Birmingham, they did kind of rub off on one another, 01:01:31.960 --> 01:01:34.139 whether Led Zeppelin wanted to admit that or 01:01:34.139 --> 01:01:41.579 not. It's a good thing Johan's not here to tell 01:01:41.579 --> 01:01:44.380 us that Led Zeppelin has nothing to do with Heavy 01:01:44.380 --> 01:01:52.920 Metal. Anyway. Led Zeppelin III. Jeremy, you 01:01:52.920 --> 01:01:57.659 said that you own it. Yeah, I do own it. I bought 01:01:57.659 --> 01:02:01.539 most of the Zeppelin albums during the 70s, well, 01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:04.400 probably the 80s, actually, early 80s. So I was 01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:07.900 listening to them with a bit of hindsight. I 01:02:07.900 --> 01:02:10.239 always thought this one was, at the time, the 01:02:10.239 --> 01:02:12.340 sort of poor sister, the poor brother of the 01:02:12.340 --> 01:02:15.860 other albums, because I really liked... Physical 01:02:15.860 --> 01:02:18.739 Graffiti and Led Zepp 4 and Led Zepp 2. And Led 01:02:18.739 --> 01:02:21.320 Zepp 3 for me was a little bit more folky, a 01:02:21.320 --> 01:02:25.039 little bit laid back. But I put it on after I 01:02:25.039 --> 01:02:29.340 sent you

my list and I very much regretted that 01:02:29.340 --> 01:02:31.219 I didn't put it as number one. And the reason 01:02:31.219 --> 01:02:33.699 is because it's the most professional sounding 01:02:33.699 --> 01:02:38.500 album of all of them. It shows them to be the 01:02:38.500 --> 01:02:42.960 most professional group of all. in the 70s, I 01:02:42.960 --> 01:02:46.539 think. I'm not denigrating other bands like Deep 01:02:46.539 --> 01:02:48.239 Purple and Black Sabbath that we're going to 01:02:48.239 --> 01:02:51.599 come on to because they contributed just as much. 01:02:51.739 --> 01:02:55.500 But they're just so good at what they do. And 01:02:55.500 --> 01:02:57.360 they were at the top of their game with this 01:02:57.360 --> 01:03:00.079 album as they were around this period, as we 01:03:00.079 --> 01:03:04.460 know, with the few albums around it. I agree 01:03:04.460 --> 01:03:06.320 with you on the song choices that you've picked. 01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:08.239 I'd also picked Since I've Been Loving You because 01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:12.440 obviously I'm a blues man. There's a lot of great 01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:15.239 songs on this album, and the quality of the production 01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:19.960 is superlative for 1970. If we think back to 01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:23.940 that year, and it sounds absolutely amazing on 01:03:23.940 --> 01:03:27.400 vinyl today, as it did when they released it, 01:03:27.460 --> 01:03:31.699 I would imagine, because I was too young. Yeah, 01:03:31.880 --> 01:03:35.440 I mean, it is an incredible album, and they had 01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:38.699 so many at the time, but I'm surprised that I 01:03:38.699 --> 01:03:40.420 didn't pick it number one. I should have done. 01:03:40.940 --> 01:03:44.280 It was a big, big mistake, really. That's interesting. 01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:51.849 I'm trying to imagine what the ultimate, how 01:03:51.849 --> 01:03:56.420 it would have shifted things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:03:57.619 --> 01:04:00.539 But that's not to say I don't, I dislike the 01:04:00.539 --> 01:04:02.340 ones above it. You know, it's just that it could 01:04:02.340 --> 01:04:06.619 be fine margins. No, it would have only gone 01:04:06.619 --> 01:04:13.000 up a spot. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Brad, anything to 01:04:13.000 --> 01:04:18.579 add on regarding Led Zeppelin III? No, I think 01:04:18.579 --> 01:04:22.329 you guys have covered it really well. I mean, 01:04:22.349 --> 01:04:24.889 there's no doubt of the influence of Led Zeppelin 01:04:24.889 --> 01:04:29.570 and the music that we still love today. Well, 01:04:29.690 --> 01:04:32.429 yeah, that we talk about on a regular basis. 01:04:34.090 --> 01:04:37.949 Yeah, I mean, there's some bands on this list 01:04:37.949 --> 01:04:43.670 that without them, who knows where we'd be now. 01:04:43.710 --> 01:04:46.309 Right. You know what I mean? I mean, their DNA 01:04:46.309 --> 01:04:50.309 is everywhere in the music that we love now. 01:04:51.230 --> 01:04:56.699 Agreed. Do you guys want to guess on the order 01:04:56.699 --> 01:05:00.619 of the top three? Yeah. Go ahead. What do you 01:05:00.619 --> 01:05:06.239 think the order is? No. Now I'm thinking of it. 01:05:06.300 --> 01:05:08.699 I stepped in a little too early on that because 01:05:08.699 --> 01:05:11.360 the three of them are very difficult. I'm going 01:05:11.360 --> 01:05:14.239 to say that Deep Purple's next. I'm going to 01:05:14.239 --> 01:05:16.500 say the Black Sabbath, two Black Sabbaths, one 01:05:16.500 --> 01:05:19.159 and two. And I don't know. I'm thinking paranoid 01:05:19.159 --> 01:05:22.639 is just pipped it. You think paranoid is what? 01:05:22.739 --> 01:05:25.320 What did you say? It's number one. Number one. 01:05:25.639 --> 01:05:29.360 Brad, what do you think? I'm going to back it 01:05:29.360 --> 01:05:32.760 up. I'm going to go all in with this, that Jeremy 01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:36.719 is correct. We don't accept those here. You know, 01:05:36.860 --> 01:05:40.159 it's not worth a lot here either, Jeremy. It's 01:05:40.159 --> 01:05:43.300 not legal currency. I'm not taking it. Okay, 01:05:43.599 --> 01:05:48.500 fine. I'm fresh out of euros. I'm sorry. Well, 01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:50.300 of course, you wouldn't take that either. No. 01:05:51.239 --> 01:05:54.219 Out with the euros. You need some sterling, right? 01:05:54.320 --> 01:05:56.460 I need something with the king's hat on it. Maybe 01:05:56.460 --> 01:06:03.550 shortly. Who knows? Okay. Well, let's go. You're 01:06:03.550 --> 01:06:05.610 killing us with the suspense here. All right. 01:06:05.849 --> 01:06:09.289 Number three. Number three released on. It should 01:06:09.289 --> 01:06:11.449 have been Led Zeppelin 3. It could have. Now, 01:06:11.449 --> 01:06:19.139 had. Had Jeremy got off his duff there and voted 01:06:19.139 --> 01:06:21.619 correctly, it would have been number three. What 01:06:21.619 --> 01:06:24.519 was it for you, Jeremy? It was number, let me 01:06:24.519 --> 01:06:31.699 see. Was it four? I think it was four. I think 01:06:31.699 --> 01:06:34.880 it was number four. Your number three. My number 01:06:34.880 --> 01:06:38.889 three, okay. See, he had it right. Okay. Okay. 01:06:39.670 --> 01:06:41.829 It's my fault. It's my fault I didn't make it 01:06:41.829 --> 01:06:44.349 to number three, okay? I'll take the hit on this 01:06:44.349 --> 01:06:48.409 one. Cause I had it way down. Yeah. You had it 01:06:48.409 --> 01:06:52.789 at, um, what is that? Seven. Come on, bring it 01:06:52.789 --> 01:06:56.869 on. Uh, okay. Anyway, next album released June 01:06:56.869 --> 01:07:02.750 5th, 1970 in the UK on harvest and in the U S 01:07:02.750 --> 01:07:08.809 on Warner brothers recorded at IBC, the lane 01:07:08.809 --> 01:07:12.590 Leah and Abby road studios in London from October 01:07:12.590 --> 01:07:19.420 69 to March. 1970, produced by the band and engineered 01:07:19.420 --> 01:07:30.780 by Martin Birch. Son of a Birch.

Yep. Oh, no 01:07:30.780 --> 01:07:41.360 shit. Okay, so let's see. The tidbits that I 01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:44.019 can say without giving it away. Reached number 01:07:44.019 --> 01:07:47.199 four in the UK and stayed on the charts for over 01:07:47.199 --> 01:07:50.219 a year. Wow. It went to number one in Germany 01:07:50.219 --> 01:07:54.670 and Austria. In the U .S., it stalled at 143 01:07:54.670 --> 01:08:00.300 after the band's American label, Tetragrammaton, 01:08:00.400 --> 01:08:02.920 went bankrupt and Warner Brothers took over. 01:08:04.789 --> 01:08:07.690 Well, they weren't a big band at the moment. 01:08:07.730 --> 01:08:10.340 All right, so I get it. So anyway, it was the 01:08:10.340 --> 01:08:13.239 first album with the classic Mach 2 lineup with 01:08:13.239 --> 01:08:15.980 Ian Gillen and Roger Glover, who joined in 69. 01:08:16.359 --> 01:08:18.920 The cover puts the five members of the band's 01:08:18.920 --> 01:08:23.619 faces on Mount Rushmore. My oh shit that I mentioned 01:08:23.619 --> 01:08:26.819 was Black Knight came out as a single on the 01:08:26.819 --> 01:08:31.300 same day, but it isn't on the album. It was written 01:08:31.300 --> 01:08:34.399 because management worried that the album had 01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:38.140 had no hit and it reached number two in the UK. 01:08:38.829 --> 01:08:42.170 Child in Time runs about 10 minutes and later 01:08:42.170 --> 01:08:46.170 became an anthem for anti -communist resistance 01:08:46.170 --> 01:08:53.119 group in Eastern Europe. So it is the purple 01:08:53.119 --> 01:08:59.199 in rock. Jeremy was correct. Jeremy, this was 01:08:59.199 --> 01:09:05.310 your number one. Yeah. What do you have to say? 01:09:05.329 --> 01:09:09.430 What do you have to say for yourself? There's 01:09:09.430 --> 01:09:11.710 every reason why it shouldn't be number one. 01:09:11.770 --> 01:09:14.029 There's every reason why it shouldn't have been 01:09:14.029 --> 01:09:16.750 a massive hit because, like you say, it should 01:09:16.750 --> 01:09:19.010 have had a single on there like Black Knight 01:09:19.010 --> 01:09:21.770 to push it a little bit. It had a song that was 01:09:21.770 --> 01:09:24.010 10 minutes long. It had two other songs that 01:09:24.010 --> 01:09:27.810 were over seven minutes long. But when you listen 01:09:27.810 --> 01:09:33.210 to it, that organ of sounding of John Lord is 01:09:33.210 --> 01:09:36.819 all through it. You've got that amazing guitar 01:09:36.819 --> 01:09:40.840 by Ritchie Blackmore. I mean, they're all great. 01:09:40.979 --> 01:09:45.020 I mean, Ian Gillan's voice. This is a band that 01:09:45.020 --> 01:09:47.859 was just incredible of its time. It kept going 01:09:47.859 --> 01:09:51.079 for many years in various forms, obviously, but 01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:53.920 that particular version and, you know, songs 01:09:53.920 --> 01:09:57.930 like Child in Time and Speed King. And then you 01:09:57.930 --> 01:09:59.729 listen back to it and you realize a song like 01:09:59.729 --> 01:10:02.130 Bloodsucker, which I never really got into at 01:10:02.130 --> 01:10:05.529 the time, but listened to again and again recently. 01:10:05.529 --> 01:10:07.970 And I realized, hey, that's a really good song. 01:10:08.670 --> 01:10:10.590 And then you listen to the others and you think, 01:10:10.750 --> 01:10:13.510 wow, this is amazing. The production's incredible 01:10:13.510 --> 01:10:16.069 on it. And I think they were really pushing boundaries 01:10:16.069 --> 01:10:17.850 that other bands weren't doing, but they were 01:10:17.850 --> 01:10:20.529 making proper songs, whereas some other bands 01:10:20.529 --> 01:10:22.569 were a little bit loose. They weren't sort of 01:10:22.569 --> 01:10:24.529 formulating these great songs. They were just 01:10:24.529 --> 01:10:27.649 playing as a band, whereas Deep Purple were formulating 01:10:27.649 --> 01:10:30.130 these amazing songs, which would stand the test 01:10:30.130 --> 01:10:33.829 of time. And that's what sort of singled them 01:10:33.829 --> 01:10:37.210 out, really. Very different to a band like Led 01:10:37.210 --> 01:10:39.310 Zeppelin, as I mentioned, I might have put them 01:10:39.310 --> 01:10:41.329 as number one. But, you know, you can't knock 01:10:41.329 --> 01:10:44.449 Deep Purple. They've had an amazing influence 01:10:44.449 --> 01:10:47.869 on our genre of music and they still are today. 01:10:47.970 --> 01:10:50.409 You know, we even saw Richie Blackmore come on 01:10:50.409 --> 01:10:54.310 stage with the new band just this year. And that 01:10:54.310 --> 01:10:57.850 was the moment of the year, you know, 50 odd 01:10:57.850 --> 01:11:01.329 years later to see him come out and play Smoke 01:11:01.329 --> 01:11:04.909 on the Water. But, yeah, it rocks one of those 01:11:04.909 --> 01:11:07.470 great albums by them, and they've got a few of 01:11:07.470 --> 01:11:13.369 them. I love it. It's great. Yeah, Brad? I can't. 01:11:15.010 --> 01:11:17.329 It'd be silly for me to try to add to that. Jeremy, 01:11:17.390 --> 01:11:20.310 fantastic. Yeah, the only thing that I want to 01:11:20.310 --> 01:11:25.310 add is that look at all the albums we've talked 01:11:25.310 --> 01:11:29.399 about up to here. They're all completely different. 01:11:31.109 --> 01:11:33.850 There aren't any two bands that you could say, 01:11:33.989 --> 01:11:36.449 well, you know, that sounds like this or that 01:11:36.449 --> 01:11:39.390 sounds like that. They're each adding their own 01:11:39.390 --> 01:11:45.420 spice to the recipe to what made this an important 01:11:45.420 --> 01:11:48.960 year and what makes the music that we love so 01:11:48.960 --> 01:11:52.720 enjoyable and so good. There's no denying what 01:11:52.720 --> 01:11:56.420 Deep Purple did to a young Lars Ulrich to want 01:11:56.420 --> 01:12:00.250 to make him a musician. Again, the well that 01:12:00.250 --> 01:12:04.550 he's drinking from is Deep Purple and some of 01:12:04.550 -->

01:12:06.890 these other bands that are on this list. And 01:12:06.890 --> 01:12:10.350 that ultimately translates to what he does in 01:12:10.350 --> 01:12:15.710 Metallica. How does Child and Time work its way 01:12:15.710 --> 01:12:19.880 into what Metallica does with their composition? 01:12:20.899 --> 01:12:27.229 Because Metallica can give you a fast song. two, 01:12:27.270 --> 01:12:29.829 three minute song in your face, or they can give 01:12:29.829 --> 01:12:33.189 you a 10 minute child in time like prog rock 01:12:33.189 --> 01:12:38.670 song as well. So I think that Deep Purple, just 01:12:38.670 --> 01:12:41.289 for the fact that they were such a huge influence 01:12:41.289 --> 01:12:45.859 on someone as important as Lars Ulrich makes 01:12:45.859 --> 01:12:51.869 their place on this indisputable. And would you 01:12:51.869 --> 01:12:54.149 say Iron Maiden as well? Iron Maiden do those 01:12:54.149 --> 01:12:56.449 sort of faster songs and they do the proggy stuff 01:12:56.449 --> 01:12:59.130 now as well, you know, the slower build stuff. 01:12:59.229 --> 01:13:01.029 I'm not saying it's the same type of music, but 01:13:01.029 --> 01:13:03.710 I'm saying that kind of, you know, the different 01:13:03.710 --> 01:13:08.409 progressions. I mean, I think that's a fair point. 01:13:09.609 --> 01:13:14.670 I think you would have to throw in, you know, 01:13:14.670 --> 01:13:19.220 a band like Yes for... iron maiden as well i 01:13:19.220 --> 01:13:21.460 think you'd have to throw in a king crimson as 01:13:21.460 --> 01:13:28.270 well um and i don't think that like steve harris 01:13:28.270 --> 01:13:31.350 is i mean i've never heard him come out and say 01:13:31.350 --> 01:13:34.250 roger glover you know oh my god he's just so 01:13:34.250 --> 01:13:37.189 important i've i've heard bruce dickinson profess 01:13:37.189 --> 01:13:40.670 his love for deep purple to no extent and he 01:13:40.670 --> 01:13:44.369 appears on various different tribute shows to 01:13:44.369 --> 01:13:48.569 john lord or cover tracks that they do Bruce 01:13:48.569 --> 01:13:51.829 has come out and talked about them. And also 01:13:51.829 --> 01:13:55.170 Yannick has played with Ian Gillen as well. So 01:13:55.170 --> 01:14:02.829 there is that connection, but I agree with you. 01:14:02.890 --> 01:14:11.020 I just think that child in time being 10 minutes 01:14:11.020 --> 01:14:16.090 still makes sense to me. Death of the Celts at 01:14:16.090 --> 01:14:24.079 like 13, 14 minutes does not. By the way, I was 01:14:24.079 --> 01:14:26.779 going to see Deep Purple this month, and they've 01:14:26.779 --> 01:14:29.380 actually cancelled. So we wish Ian Gillan all 01:14:29.380 --> 01:14:32.119 the best, and we hope he gets back on his feet 01:14:32.119 --> 01:14:37.619 soon. Yes. Let's hope. Yes, get well, Ian. He 01:14:37.619 --> 01:14:40.720 was sounding, you know, that when Richie got 01:14:40.720 --> 01:14:42.960 up and played with him, the thing that blew me 01:14:42.960 --> 01:14:45.380 away about that, I mean, just how incredible 01:14:45.380 --> 01:14:47.760 it was seeing Richie Blackmore up there, but 01:14:47.760 --> 01:14:53.359 how good Ian Gillan sounded. I mean, I... Yeah. 01:14:53.460 --> 01:14:55.619 I mean, we all know his voices and what it used 01:14:55.619 --> 01:15:00.729 to be, but he sounded fantastic. Yeah. How many, 01:15:00.750 --> 01:15:05.439 how many guys that are 20, 30 years younger than, 01:15:05.479 --> 01:15:10.000 than him? 10 years younger. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 01:15:10.760 --> 01:15:15.680 Sound nowhere as good as what he does now. Can, 01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:19.319 can he hit the notes in highway star? No, but 01:15:19.579 --> 01:15:24.859 he's still good enough to pull off. 90 % of their 01:15:24.859 --> 01:15:29.319 catalog? Yeah, yeah. You have singers who couldn't 01:15:29.319 --> 01:15:34.189 pull off their catalog in 83. So when their album 01:15:34.189 --> 01:15:40.670 first came out, nonetheless, in 2026. Yeah, he's 01:15:40.670 --> 01:15:46.909 81 years old. He is 81. Wow. He's 81. Yeah. So, 01:15:46.930 --> 01:15:50.470 you know, whatever he's doing is amazing. If 01:15:50.470 --> 01:15:56.770 I'm even standing up at 81, I'll be glad. Yeah. 01:15:56.770 --> 01:16:02.130 The thing is also the uniqueness of his voice. 01:16:02.310 --> 01:16:04.670 And I realized it wasn't like a lot of people 01:16:04.670 --> 01:16:08.909 competing in this type of music back then. But 01:16:08.909 --> 01:16:12.640 I don't know anybody can even really imitate 01:16:12.640 --> 01:16:16.539 him. You know, they even come close to his voice. 01:16:16.640 --> 01:16:21.020 Whereas Robert Plant, again, Robert Plant's probably 01:16:21.020 --> 01:16:24.079 one of the most influential. singers on rock 01:16:24.079 --> 01:16:27.560 music, rock singers out of all these people. 01:16:27.859 --> 01:16:30.039 I mean, you think of all these new bands that 01:16:30.039 --> 01:16:32.920 are, you know, younger people coming up, putting 01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:34.960 out rock music and how many of these guys sound 01:16:34.960 --> 01:16:37.579 like, you know, try to sound like Robert Plant. 01:16:37.699 --> 01:16:39.800 It's, it's pretty, it's, it's pretty interesting, 01:16:39.880 --> 01:16:43.500 but not one of them can sound like Ian Killen. 01:16:43.500 --> 01:16:48.220 Well, funny enough, when I interviewed the late 01:16:48.220 --> 01:16:50.520 Eric Wagner, who used to be the singer trouble. 01:16:52.850 --> 01:16:56.649 He mentioned to me because I brought up, you 01:16:56.649 --> 01:16:59.210 know, Ozzy being an influence and this and that. 01:16:59.270 --> 01:17:01.710 And he flat out said, he goes, Ozzy was never 01:17:01.710 --> 01:17:05.289 an influence. He goes, it's Ian Gillen's my influence. 01:17:05.590 --> 01:17:10.329 He goes, maybe the color in my voice may sound 01:17:10.329 --> 01:17:14.130 closer to Ozzy. But if you listen to my attack, 01:17:14.289 --> 01:17:18.279 how I sing,

the cadence is like Ian Gillen's. 01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:25.489 And now that I mentioned that, if you have any 01:17:25.489 --> 01:17:31.770 of their music, listen to it later and see if 01:17:31.770 --> 01:17:39.640 you agree with that or not. The other thing to 01:17:39.640 --> 01:17:41.340 mention with Deep Purple, by the way, obviously 01:17:41.340 --> 01:17:43.640 we've just mentioned Ian Gillan, but Roger Glover's 01:17:43.640 --> 01:17:49.680 80 years old as well. Ian Pace is 78. Not only 01:17:49.680 --> 01:17:52.159 have they influenced other bands, but they've 01:17:52.159 --> 01:17:54.000 been in other bands. They've been in White Snake. 01:17:54.079 --> 01:17:57.420 They've been in Rainbow. So they've had a part 01:17:57.420 --> 01:18:00.239 in the progression of our music that we love 01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:04.020 over the years. So they've been part of it, which 01:18:04.020 --> 01:18:07.359 is interesting as well, I think. And still putting 01:18:07.359 --> 01:18:09.920 out good music, by the way. And the late John 01:18:09.920 --> 01:18:12.359 Lord, of course, as well. You know, I saw live. 01:18:12.460 --> 01:18:14.979 One of my first gigs was White Snake live. Saw 01:18:14.979 --> 01:18:23.600 John Lord. Incredible. Yeah. Did Glover or Lorde 01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:27.600 play on any of the hits, the original versions 01:18:27.600 --> 01:18:29.979 of the hits that Whitesnake had years later? 01:18:30.140 --> 01:18:35.979 I mean, I'm not a huge Whitesnake fan. Pace played 01:18:35.979 --> 01:18:40.539 on, he played on Ready and Willing, I think, 01:18:40.600 --> 01:18:44.310 didn't he? What? Well. So he was on Full Fear 01:18:44.310 --> 01:18:48.350 Loving. So Full Fear Loving and Here I Go Again 01:18:48.350 --> 01:18:50.670 was the other. Well, that obviously was the huge 01:18:50.670 --> 01:18:53.729 re -record. That was a bit later. Yeah, yeah, 01:18:53.750 --> 01:19:04.369 yeah. All right. So down to two. I wonder who 01:19:04.369 --> 01:19:08.989 this could be. These two albums, well, three 01:19:08.989 --> 01:19:18.159 and four are separated by two points. It's my 01:19:18.159 --> 01:19:23.380 fault. Number two is 20 points ahead of number 01:19:23.380 --> 01:19:29.229 three. Right. Number one and number two are separated 01:19:29.229 --> 01:19:36.909 by one point. Wow. Well, it's tricky. It's a 01:19:36.909 --> 01:19:40.939 tricky choice. Number two. You can't go wrong. 01:19:42.029 --> 01:19:48.390 Number two, recorded September 7th in 1970. Released. 01:19:49.630 --> 01:19:54.489 September 18th, 1970. Released on Vertigo in 01:19:54.489 --> 01:20:00.949 the UK. January 7th, 71. The US on Warner Brothers. 01:20:01.130 --> 01:20:04.470 Recorded at Regent Sound in Island Studios, London. 01:20:04.890 --> 01:20:14.229 June 1970. Producer Roger Bain. Voted number 01:20:14.329 --> 01:20:21.119 one by two people, including Brad. The album 01:20:21.119 --> 01:20:23.739 was meant to be called War Pigs. The title changed, 01:20:23.960 --> 01:20:27.359 but the cover of a man with a sword and a shield 01:20:27.359 --> 01:20:34.569 shot to fit the original title stayed. They weren't 01:20:34.569 --> 01:20:37.770 doing drugs at all when that album cover was 01:20:37.770 --> 01:20:40.890 shot. I mean, let's be honest. They had a series 01:20:40.890 --> 01:20:43.250 of terrible album covers. That's one of the worst 01:20:43.250 --> 01:20:46.630 album covers ever. It really is. It's like, what 01:20:46.630 --> 01:20:51.210 the? The title track was written as filler when 01:20:51.210 --> 01:20:54.069 the album came up short. Bill Ward says it took 01:20:54.069 --> 01:20:57.550 20 to 25 minutes while geezer Butler records. 01:20:57.750 --> 01:21:03.010 The lyrics took about two hours. War pigs started 01:21:03.010 --> 01:21:08.149 life as well. Purchase an iron man was originally 01:21:08.149 --> 01:21:14.680 called iron bloke. We're going to name it. We're 01:21:14.680 --> 01:21:20.159 going to do another one called iron bloke. Got 01:21:20.159 --> 01:21:24.100 to do Iron Bloke, mate. Right, mate. We're going 01:21:24.100 --> 01:21:30.479 to do Iron Bloke next. It hit number one. He's 01:21:30.479 --> 01:21:32.899 got his black Sabbath box there looking great. 01:21:32.939 --> 01:21:36.920 It hit number one in the UK. The band's only 01:21:36.920 --> 01:21:41.399 chart -topping album until their 13th album in 01:21:41.399 --> 01:21:45.199 2013. The single Paranoid reached number one 01:21:45.199 --> 01:21:50.989 in the UK. The band's only. Top five hit single. 01:21:51.750 --> 01:21:56.010 A U .S. release was held back to January 71 because 01:21:56.010 --> 01:22:01.310 the debut was still selling. It since has gone 01:22:01.310 --> 01:22:09.880 four times platinum in the U .S. I'm trying to 01:22:09.880 --> 01:22:16.659 think. Actually, Iron Bloke is the third track 01:22:16.659 --> 01:22:27.130 off of this album. Iron Bloke. so okay so it 01:22:27.130 --> 01:22:31.000 is obviously Paranoid by Black Sabbath do we 01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:33.260 want to talk about each album individually or 01:22:33.260 --> 01:22:36.199 do we want to talk about yeah let's give it a 01:22:36.199 --> 01:22:38.119 whirl yeah because you know there's a lot to 01:22:38.119 --> 01:22:40.500 talk about each one I guess okay Jeremy so let's 01:22:40.500 --> 01:22:43.420 go Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, I love this album 01:22:43.420 --> 01:22:45.979 because of War Pigs. I mean, I just think War 01:22:45.979 --> 01:22:49.439 Pigs is an outstanding song. I mean, the way 01:22:49.439 --> 01:22:53.560 it's constructed, what it's about, the war situation. 01:22:53.699 --> 01:22:56.640 And, you know, people used to think Black Sabbath 01:22:56.640 --> 01:23:00.579 were just this evil, doomy, satanistic band. 01:23:00.699 --> 01:23:02.579 But no, no, they weren't. They were talking about 01:23:02.579 --> 01:23:05.140 things that needed to be talked about. And they 01:23:05.140 --> 01:23:07.720 always tried to

distance themselves from it. 01:23:07.800 --> 01:23:11.520 But they, you know, just... That song in particular 01:23:11.520 --> 01:23:14.680 has such an influence on me and the kind of music 01:23:14.680 --> 01:23:17.119 that we like. But, you know, if you listen to 01:23:17.119 --> 01:23:21.090 the whole of that side, you've got Paranoid. 01:23:21.090 --> 01:23:22.890 Obviously, it's been overplayed to death, but 01:23:22.890 --> 01:23:26.590 it's an amazing single. And then Planet Caravan 01:23:26.590 --> 01:23:29.569 sort of brings it down a little bit, but it still 01:23:29.569 --> 01:23:34.489 sounds heavy, even though it's so slow and doomy. 01:23:35.050 --> 01:23:36.829 And then you've got Iron Man with that amazing 01:23:36.829 --> 01:23:38.989 riff. And then it goes on to Electric Funeral 01:23:38.989 --> 01:23:42.329 on the other side and keeps going. And, you know, 01:23:42.329 --> 01:23:44.909 just love all those songs on it. I think they 01:23:44.909 --> 01:23:47.189 really push themselves a bit further from the 01:23:47.189 --> 01:23:49.810 first album. But I understand why the first album 01:23:49.810 --> 01:23:51.210 we're going to talk about in a minute might be 01:23:51.210 --> 01:23:52.689 number one. And we'll go on to that in a minute. 01:23:54.010 --> 01:23:56.569 I just think there are certain people out there 01:23:56.569 --> 01:23:59.649 that, and I'll give you an example. My wife does 01:23:59.649 --> 01:24:02.380 not like Iron Maiden. She does not like Metallica. 01:24:02.420 --> 01:24:04.760 She doesn't like a lot of heavy metal. She likes 01:24:04.760 --> 01:24:07.840 a lot of hard rock. But does she love Black Sabbath? 01:24:08.180 --> 01:24:10.840 Yes, she does, because she was brought up in 01:24:10.840 --> 01:24:14.479 an era of Sabbath. And she sees them as a little 01:24:14.479 --> 01:24:17.159 bit different, you know, just not the run -of 01:24:17.159 --> 01:24:19.159 -the -mill sort of metal -y band. They've got 01:24:19.159 --> 01:24:21.840 that bluesy influence. They've got that hard 01:24:21.840 --> 01:24:24.100 rock. They've got that sort of 60s influence 01:24:24.100 --> 01:24:27.319 in there. And they were just something very, 01:24:27.380 --> 01:24:29.590 very different. As we know, you know, we could 01:24:29.590 --> 01:24:31.789 talk about them all day, but that's all I'm going 01:24:31.789 --> 01:24:34.329 to say about that particular album. It's really 01:24:34.329 --> 01:24:42.500 superb, and I play it quite a lot. Brad? I don't 01:24:42.500 --> 01:24:45.140 like following Jeremy. He's too good. He's too 01:24:45.140 --> 01:24:49.859 damn good. And you want to fill in for Ed during 01:24:49.859 --> 01:24:55.220 one of the monthly album reviews. I would insist 01:24:55.220 --> 01:24:58.220 I'm going before Jeremy. I have to follow both 01:24:58.220 --> 01:25:03.470 of them. And think, how underprepared am I? I 01:25:03.470 --> 01:25:07.029 got to talk after these two guys and sound somewhat 01:25:07.029 --> 01:25:12.319 relevant and coherent. Tell us what you feel 01:25:12.319 --> 01:25:15.479 about it, Brad. What do you feel? Well, War Pigs 01:25:15.479 --> 01:25:20.039 just by itself puts this number one for me, just 01:25:20.039 --> 01:25:24.449 because that song. it is so powerful man i mean 01:25:24.449 --> 01:25:26.510 you play that anywhere if you're at a concert 01:25:26.510 --> 01:25:29.810 and they're they play that in between bands you 01:25:29.810 --> 01:25:32.189 know even at the lower lower level everybody 01:25:32.189 --> 01:25:35.489 sings with it everybody everybody stops you know 01:25:35.489 --> 01:25:37.250 everybody's out chatting and then this song comes 01:25:37.250 --> 01:25:39.970 on and it's like everybody stops and they all 01:25:39.970 --> 01:25:45.899 sing along i i i i'm still If I was a professional 01:25:45.899 --> 01:25:47.899 baseball player, this would be my song to come 01:25:47.899 --> 01:25:50.560 into because then you'd get everybody in the 01:25:50.560 --> 01:25:52.939 stadium would sing along. They would. It would 01:25:52.939 --> 01:25:56.340 and it would just be a magical moment. And it 01:25:56.340 --> 01:25:59.399 is for those of you who don't know, I do play 01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:03.260 bass. This is my favorite song of all songs to 01:26:03.260 --> 01:26:06.180 play bass to. I just love it. Love it. Love it. 01:26:06.199 --> 01:26:10.500 It just it's just something even. Yeah. Even 01:26:10.500 --> 01:26:13.340 though the verse is just two notes. It's just 01:26:13.340 --> 01:26:16.840 the most powerful two notes in the history of 01:26:16.840 --> 01:26:22.039 music. Sorry to interrupt. There's something 01:26:22.039 --> 01:26:23.800 about the interval, isn't there, in that song 01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:27.399 that is as heavy as the sound itself. It's kind 01:26:27.399 --> 01:26:32.199 of like that interval between the riff. You need 01:26:32.199 --> 01:26:37.380 the hi -hat at the right spot. It's like, Bill, 01:26:37.479 --> 01:26:40.100 that was just genius even putting that in there, 01:26:40.220 --> 01:26:44.020 Bill. I mean, was that there the whole time? 01:26:44.500 --> 01:26:46.920 I know they played this live a lot before they 01:26:46.920 --> 01:26:49.119 recorded it, so it probably developed. It'd be 01:26:49.119 --> 01:26:50.859 interesting. I know there's an old recording 01:26:50.859 --> 01:26:55.420 on one of Ozzy's best of albums of this with 01:26:55.420 --> 01:26:57.560 different lyrics. I'll have to listen to that 01:26:57.560 --> 01:26:59.859 and see if the drums are the same. But anyway, 01:27:00.220 --> 01:27:02.579 it's just everything about this, the leads in 01:27:02.579 --> 01:27:06.000 it, the bass playing. But as far as the album, 01:27:06.079 --> 01:27:07.979 this is what made it number one for me, is that 01:27:07.979 --> 01:27:10.880 the quality. I mean, how many great songs there 01:27:10.880 --> 01:27:13.279 are on here. That's what put it over the top

01:27:13.279 --> 01:27:17.300 for me and made it number one. And we'll talk 01:27:17.300 --> 01:27:22.199 about the first album here in a second. But these 01:27:22.199 --> 01:27:26.439 songs, yeah, these songs will live forever. Iron 01:27:26.439 --> 01:27:31.819 Man will live forever. Watching the Major League 01:27:31.819 --> 01:27:34.750 Baseball playoffs here in the U .S., This year, 01:27:34.850 --> 01:27:37.550 so many of these stadiums, they would play the 01:27:37.550 --> 01:27:40.609 beginning of Iron Man at certain points of the 01:27:40.609 --> 01:27:50.100 game. You know, just. And I know it for 56 years 01:27:50.100 --> 01:27:53.779 later, this is like it's it's an album that you're 01:27:53.779 --> 01:28:02.369 hearing everywhere. And yeah, that's I don't 01:28:02.369 --> 01:28:06.689 know what else to say other than it's just. Incredible, 01:28:06.750 --> 01:28:11.819 incredible album. In spite of the cover. Probably 01:28:11.819 --> 01:28:14.699 one thing to say about it is how many of us don't 01:28:14.699 --> 01:28:19.779 have a copy of it? We're into a certain brand 01:28:19.779 --> 01:28:22.520 of music here, aren't we? We're heavy metal freaks. 01:28:22.800 --> 01:28:25.859 How many of us don't have a copy of it? I'd say 01:28:25.859 --> 01:28:29.039 none of us because it's part and parcel of our 01:28:29.039 --> 01:28:32.420 DNA. I'm going to say even Metal Dan has a copy 01:28:32.420 --> 01:28:36.210 of it. Yeah, yeah. I have to – I'm not going 01:28:36.210 --> 01:28:39.369 to turn around now. I didn't go through the archives. 01:28:40.130 --> 01:28:46.010 But I used to definitely have it on CD. You'll 01:28:46.010 --> 01:28:48.449 have had it at some point. At some point, yeah. 01:28:48.850 --> 01:28:51.050 Everyone's bought it at some point because it's 01:28:51.050 --> 01:28:54.970 part of our DNA. You cannot be a metal fan without 01:28:54.970 --> 01:28:57.890 certain albums, and that's one of them. And, 01:28:57.909 --> 01:29:00.920 I mean, I have it digitally. But I'm trying to 01:29:00.920 --> 01:29:05.329 figure out if I have a physical copy of it. Yeah. 01:29:05.930 --> 01:29:09.729 I do. I have it on vinyl. Yeah. There you go. 01:29:09.770 --> 01:29:13.590 I knew you would. I just knew it. You know, I 01:29:13.590 --> 01:29:17.390 was just waiting for you to say. Because it, 01:29:17.470 --> 01:29:20.130 you know, that's what it is. So if you're watching 01:29:20.130 --> 01:29:24.489 this and you never listened to this album, it's 01:29:24.489 --> 01:29:25.989 okay if you don't own it. I'm going to give you 01:29:25.989 --> 01:29:27.970 permission. I'll give you a pass on that one. 01:29:29.500 --> 01:29:31.800 If you've never listened to this album, you need 01:29:31.800 --> 01:29:34.500 to do that. Today would probably be a good time. 01:29:35.020 --> 01:29:38.640 Okay. Forget skip dinner. Listen to this album 01:29:38.640 --> 01:29:41.659 instead. And then, and then come back and down 01:29:41.659 --> 01:29:44.659 here in the comments, tell us, tell us that we 01:29:44.659 --> 01:29:48.840 were right. Cause we are. So real quickly here, 01:29:48.920 --> 01:29:51.220 war pigs is one of my favorite songs to play 01:29:51.220 --> 01:29:55.850 on the drums. Paranoid is one of the only songs 01:29:55.850 --> 01:30:01.279 that I can play almost entirely on guitar. Yeah. 01:30:02.359 --> 01:30:06.279 Yeah, it's not one of my favorite Sabbath songs 01:30:06.279 --> 01:30:09.220 to play. I've played it more times than I can 01:30:09.220 --> 01:30:12.319 count with various bands. It's just kind of, 01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:18.000 I don't know. It's like a more interesting version 01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:20.539 of Crossroads. That seems to be the other song 01:30:20.539 --> 01:30:22.659 that everybody wants to play when you jam. Let's 01:30:22.659 --> 01:30:25.640 play Crossroads. Let's not. Thankfully, I've 01:30:25.640 --> 01:30:30.210 never been in that situation. you've lived a 01:30:30.210 --> 01:30:33.689 charmed life yes yes but yeah so if you got comments 01:30:33.689 --> 01:30:36.050 about crossroads put them down here in the comments 01:30:36.050 --> 01:30:41.960 uh all right anyway so uh this was this was my 01:30:41.960 --> 01:30:47.909 number two so i preferred over the debut album 01:30:47.909 --> 01:30:51.210 because of a lot of these songs that we're discussing 01:30:51.210 --> 01:30:58.619 but um number one so Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath 01:30:58.619 --> 01:31:04.439 released on February 13th, 1970 in the UK. June 01:31:04.439 --> 01:31:12.640 1st, 1970 on Warner Brothers in the US. Same 01:31:12.640 --> 01:31:15.460 exact setup. Regent Sound, Trident Studios in 01:31:15.460 --> 01:31:21.779 London in late 69. Roger Bain, producer. Ranked 01:31:21.779 --> 01:31:25.260 number one by four different people. That's where 01:31:25.260 --> 01:31:28.340 we got there. By the way, this is a proper album 01:31:28.340 --> 01:31:31.260 cover, right, Jeremy? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's 01:31:31.260 --> 01:31:34.579 heavy metal all over. This is legendary. This 01:31:34.579 --> 01:31:37.220 album cover, I'm going to say this is absolutely 01:31:37.220 --> 01:31:40.560 the best Black Sabbath album cover. Yeah. I mean, 01:31:40.579 --> 01:31:45.340 it's the scariest shit. People still go to this 01:31:45.340 --> 01:31:48.380 house like now. Yeah. I mean, it's a major tourist 01:31:48.380 --> 01:31:51.800 destination. That's right. I won't go because 01:31:51.800 --> 01:31:55.529 I'll just be so spooked I can't go. Yeah, this 01:31:55.529 --> 01:31:59.569 woman here is still alive and she sings. Yeah, 01:31:59.569 --> 01:32:04.710 yeah. Does she sing the song Black Sabbath? That's 01:32:04.710 --> 01:32:08.310 a great question. I don't know. I saw a news 01:32:08.310 --> 01:32:10.130 story on her recently. So let's see. The album 01:32:10.130 --> 01:32:14.229 came out on Friday the 13th, February 1970, a 01:32:14.229 --> 01:32:17.189 fitting date for the

band that invented doom. 01:32:17.869 --> 01:32:21.640 Most of the album was... cut in a single 12 -hour 01:32:21.640 --> 01:32:24.100 session at Regent Sound. The band essentially 01:32:24.100 --> 01:32:31.619 played it live, set straight to tape. The cover 01:32:31.619 --> 01:32:36.380 was shot at Maple Durham Mill Watermill on the 01:32:36.380 --> 01:32:42.470 River Thames. I'm thinking, how many people, 01:32:42.529 --> 01:32:44.770 instead of saying River Thames, especially in 01:32:44.770 --> 01:32:51.960 the U .S., are saying the River Thames? The cloaked 01:32:51.960 --> 01:32:57.640 figure was model Louisa Livingston. Louisa Livingston, 01:32:57.800 --> 01:33:02.500 whose identity only became widely known in 2020. 01:33:03.340 --> 01:33:07.619 I guess she was bored during the pandemic. Yes. 01:33:07.739 --> 01:33:11.859 The inverted cross inside the original gatefold 01:33:11.859 --> 01:33:14.840 was the label's idea, not the band's. It fueled 01:33:14.840 --> 01:33:18.520 years of Satanism accusations the band resented. 01:33:19.109 --> 01:33:22.979 Evil Woman, the band's first single, is a cover 01:33:22.979 --> 01:33:27.600 of a song by the American band Crow. Critics 01:33:27.600 --> 01:33:29.720 mostly panned it, but it reached number eight 01:33:29.720 --> 01:33:32.659 in the UK, number 23 in the US, and widely cited 01:33:32.659 --> 01:33:39.920 as the first true heavy metal album. Brad, your 01:33:39.920 --> 01:33:46.159 thoughts on this one? Yes. This started it all. 01:33:47.699 --> 01:33:55.369 Yeah. You know, here's the amazing thing. What, 01:33:55.409 --> 01:33:57.630 they recorded it in just like 12 hours or something 01:33:57.630 --> 01:34:00.010 like that. They had the whole thing and played 01:34:00.010 --> 01:34:03.010 it all live together. It still sounds really, 01:34:03.189 --> 01:34:05.569 really good. I mean, put on some good headphones 01:34:05.569 --> 01:34:08.010 and throw this on. And it's like, holy crap, 01:34:08.109 --> 01:34:11.050 how does this sound so good when you got Def 01:34:11.050 --> 01:34:14.210 Leppard spending three years trying to get one 01:34:14.210 --> 01:34:17.329 song, trying to get photographed to sound like 01:34:17.329 --> 01:34:21.529 it does. These guys did this one day, basically. 01:34:23.789 --> 01:34:28.119 That's actually really funny. That's a great 01:34:28.119 --> 01:34:34.470 analogy because... My job is done then. Jeremy, 01:34:34.550 --> 01:34:40.069 give us the clever bits. I mean, like you say, 01:34:40.149 --> 01:34:44.170 it started it all off. I remember listening to 01:34:44.170 --> 01:34:47.369 the first track on this album, which is obviously 01:34:47.369 --> 01:34:52.770 the standout. Well, it is for me. It was so scary. 01:34:53.470 --> 01:34:55.689 because I was a young lad when I heard this, 01:34:55.710 --> 01:34:57.350 and somebody played it to me, and they said, 01:34:57.369 --> 01:34:59.630 listen to this band, Black Sabbath. You'll never 01:34:59.630 --> 01:35:03.369 hear anything like this again. And I listened 01:35:03.369 --> 01:35:05.670 to it, and I couldn't believe it, because it 01:35:05.670 --> 01:35:08.189 was played quite loud as well. Black Sabbath 01:35:08.189 --> 01:35:10.909 was not a band you would play quite low. You'd 01:35:10.909 --> 01:35:13.869 want to turn it up. And to hear that, I don't 01:35:13.869 --> 01:35:17.069 think I would play that on my own, and I don't 01:35:17.069 --> 01:35:19.109 think I played it again on my own. I was quite 01:35:19.109 --> 01:35:22.930 scared of the band. was quite wary of them as 01:35:22.930 --> 01:35:25.210 people. I thought, well, what are these people? 01:35:25.310 --> 01:35:28.270 Are they devil worshippers? Are they just mad? 01:35:28.630 --> 01:35:32.590 What are they doing here? But I did enjoy it. 01:35:32.649 --> 01:35:36.630 I enjoyed the riffs and I enjoyed the doom and 01:35:36.630 --> 01:35:39.710 the atmosphere of it all. I'd never heard anything 01:35:39.710 --> 01:35:42.289 like it. No other band ever was doing anything 01:35:42.289 --> 01:35:45.449 like it. And we're still listening to that stuff 01:35:45.449 --> 01:35:49.210 today. It started them off on a massive career. 01:35:50.140 --> 01:35:52.779 And we certainly knew who Ozzy Osbourne was after 01:35:52.779 --> 01:35:56.100 that album and obviously Tony Iommi. Well, all 01:35:56.100 --> 01:35:58.079 of them, you know, they all played the part. 01:35:59.399 --> 01:36:03.399 It was a big thing over here. You can imagine, 01:36:03.479 --> 01:36:05.560 you know, you come out of the 60s and then you 01:36:05.560 --> 01:36:07.180 come into that, something like that. And I was 01:36:07.180 --> 01:36:10.220 listening to it probably 10 years later than, 01:36:10.239 --> 01:36:12.720 you know, after it come out. But we were still 01:36:12.720 --> 01:36:15.840 listening to it then. Older brothers and sisters 01:36:15.840 --> 01:36:19.060 were playing you this Black Sabbath album. this 01:36:19.060 --> 01:36:21.819 debut album by them listen to this because they 01:36:21.819 --> 01:36:28.869 are incredible yeah yeah playing the title track 01:36:28.869 --> 01:36:32.390 with a band i've done that many times and uh 01:36:32.390 --> 01:36:34.189 you gotta have the right drummer for this by 01:36:34.189 --> 01:36:40.100 the way it is so powerful it is just yeah it's 01:36:40.100 --> 01:36:43.340 it's undeniable it's almost they don't have to 01:36:43.340 --> 01:36:45.819 try too hard because that riff you know the the 01:36:45.819 --> 01:36:49.539 initial the initial sound of the song is just 01:36:49.899 --> 01:36:53.420 it's so laid back and yet it's so powerful. And 01:36:53.420 --> 01:36:55.100 that's what Black Sabbath were all about. Really. 01:36:55.159 --> 01:36:57.159 They didn't always have to give you the heaviest, 01:36:57.159 --> 01:37:00.619 loudest riff. They gave you the doomest, scariest 01:37:00.619 --> 01:37:05.180 riff. And that's what made them metal. And it's

01:37:05.180 --> 01:37:06.899 all about the dynamics there. And of course, 01:37:06.899 --> 01:37:10.659 Ozzy, Ozzy just pushed it over the top. Yeah. 01:37:10.699 --> 01:37:13.659 Especially his laugh in there. It's just, yeah. 01:37:15.329 --> 01:37:18.880 All right. It deserves to be number one. So my, 01:37:18.939 --> 01:37:22.420 my favorite, track on this album which I've played 01:37:22.420 --> 01:37:26.479 a million times and I've actually covered at 01:37:26.479 --> 01:37:30.739 one point with a band I was trying out with and 01:37:30.739 --> 01:37:36.029 because no one knew the lyrics I ended up having 01:37:36.029 --> 01:37:40.010 to put a microphone between my legs as I'm drumming 01:37:40.010 --> 01:37:46.550 and singing the song as well so it is NIB oh 01:37:46.899 --> 01:37:54.180 yeah great song yeah so Yeah. It is a justly 01:37:54.180 --> 01:37:57.000 deserved number one, although I prefer Paranoid. 01:37:58.279 --> 01:38:02.220 There's no going wrong with this. Some quick 01:38:02.220 --> 01:38:09.659 tidbits here is that, let's see, obviously Roger 01:38:09.659 --> 01:38:13.119 Bain produced the top two albums that were recorded 01:38:13.119 --> 01:38:17.750 seven months apart. Sabbath Purple and Zeppelin, 01:38:17.770 --> 01:38:19.569 as I mentioned before, got two thirds of the 01:38:19.569 --> 01:38:25.659 total vote. And those are probably the two things 01:38:25.659 --> 01:38:28.760 that kind of stand out the most. Before wrapping 01:38:28.760 --> 01:38:33.340 up, I have a question for you guys. Yeah. So 01:38:33.340 --> 01:38:38.180 with the 80s, although we saw that ultimately 01:38:38.180 --> 01:38:43.800 what people voted for their favorite album of 01:38:43.800 --> 01:38:47.760 the 80s didn't reflect the band that won the 01:38:47.760 --> 01:38:50.159 most amount of countdowns because Iron Maiden 01:38:50.159 --> 01:38:55.960 won the most amount of countdowns. Okay. Will 01:38:55.960 --> 01:39:02.039 there be a band that dominates the 70s like Iron 01:39:02.039 --> 01:39:08.100 Maiden did the 80s for us? I'm going to say straight 01:39:08.100 --> 01:39:11.399 off the top, no. Because I think a lot of bands 01:39:11.399 --> 01:39:13.659 are coming in through the 70s and we're going 01:39:13.659 --> 01:39:16.680 to pick some other bands. There's going to be 01:39:16.680 --> 01:39:21.510 more of a variety, I think. I think Black Sabbath 01:39:21.510 --> 01:39:30.100 will continue to rule. Okay. We'll see. Maybe 01:39:30.100 --> 01:39:36.260 I'm biased, but I think once KISS gets involved, 01:39:36.500 --> 01:39:42.720 it's... Oh, you're right. You're right. They 01:39:42.720 --> 01:39:46.159 say that, but they may do. But I think we're 01:39:46.159 --> 01:39:55.119 going to see KISS, Black Sabbath, Queen, ACDC, 01:39:55.579 --> 01:40:01.869 Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin. Perhaps the Purple, 01:40:02.270 --> 01:40:06.760 perhaps Motorhead, you know, when they come around 01:40:06.760 --> 01:40:11.060 as well. Van Halen, 79.

Van Halen, there you 01:40:11.060 --> 01:40:17.829 go. 77, 78. Yeah, 77, 78. So I think there's 01:40:17.829 --> 01:40:19.850 going to be quite a lot to choose from as we 01:40:19.850 --> 01:40:22.310 keep going on. There's going to be some monumental 01:40:22.310 --> 01:40:28.930 albums. Rush as well. You know what we're doing 01:40:28.930 --> 01:40:31.090 here, Victor? We're building the house of rock. 01:40:31.090 --> 01:40:33.649 We're building the house of rock. This is the 01:40:33.649 --> 01:40:37.850 foundation right here. To close the show on a 01:40:37.850 --> 01:40:42.630 similar subject as how we started it. That's 01:40:42.630 --> 01:40:46.109 why I think these first few years where there 01:40:46.109 --> 01:40:51.409 isn't like a clear cut and maybe early on Sabbath 01:40:51.409 --> 01:40:55.409 is going to be who rules these early few years. 01:40:57.180 --> 01:40:59.819 Let's not forget, you know, you've got. We'll 01:40:59.819 --> 01:41:03.420 see. I mean, what you had in that box set right 01:41:03.420 --> 01:41:06.199 there. You're going to have Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath. 01:41:06.380 --> 01:41:08.840 You're going to have Volume 4. You're going to 01:41:08.840 --> 01:41:13.739 have Masters of Reality. That's coming up next 01:41:13.739 --> 01:41:19.779 year. Those are all huge albums. We're going 01:41:19.779 --> 01:41:25.859 to have bands. Well, Sabbath here had two albums 01:41:25.859 --> 01:41:28.039 in one year. We're going to have Kiss with multiple 01:41:28.039 --> 01:41:31.100 albums in one year. We're going to have other 01:41:31.100 --> 01:41:36.319 bands that are similar. So I think this is going 01:41:36.319 --> 01:41:39.520 to be great. If you're listening to this and 01:41:39.520 --> 01:41:43.420 want to vote for upcoming episodes, please do 01:41:43.420 --> 01:41:49.020 so. Your vote counts. That goes for you, Edgar. 01:41:49.180 --> 01:41:52.939 You know who you are. Also. Get in there. If 01:41:52.939 --> 01:41:55.920 there's a year where, you know, you say, oh, 01:41:56.060 --> 01:41:59.399 just not my year, not enough albums that I enjoy. 01:42:01.439 --> 01:42:06.859 Explore the year. Explore the year. You have 01:42:06.859 --> 01:42:10.000 plenty of time. The next time that we do, when 01:42:10.000 --> 01:42:13.079 we do 71 is going to be like three or four months 01:42:13.079 --> 01:42:19.750 from now. Okay. So you've got time to check it 01:42:19.750 --> 01:42:24.260 out. You've got ample time. We're going to need 01:42:24.260 --> 01:42:26.460 to hurry this up a little bit, Victor, because 01:42:26.460 --> 01:42:29.880 I'm not getting younger. Well, historically. 01:42:30.100 --> 01:42:34.119 We can't drag the 70s out until I'm 70. Historically, 01:42:34.199 --> 01:42:40.279 we've done a year, a band, and a subject. Right, 01:42:40.359 --> 01:42:44.500 right. We could potentially do all the years 01:42:44.500 --> 01:42:47.039 straight. That's something that I've contemplated. 01:42:49.390 --> 01:42:53.130 If more people want to do that, vote on years. 01:42:53.210 --> 01:42:56.310 We can do that because we've got plenty of albums 01:42:56.310 --> 01:42:59.630 and subject matter to talk about. We can do all 01:42:59.630 --> 01:43:03.350 the 70s and then I propose doing the 90s as well. 01:43:05.260 --> 01:43:12.479 So we'll see. Yeah. In any event, thank you, 01:43:12.479 --> 01:43:16.939 Brad, Jeremy.

I was expecting you to 01:43:58.760 --> 01:44:02.619 go the Aussie route. I did that earlier. Inceleration 01:44:02.619 --> 01:44:05.640 of one and two. My stuff isn't working anymore. 01:44:05.760 --> 01:44:09.140 Anyway, see you next time right here on Signals 01:44:09.140 --> 01:44:24.770 from Mars. See you, folks.
