in Nashville, Tennessee at fifty six.
24
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:56.200
That's crazy, you know.
25
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.479
Yeah, I know how that goes. Back in the day,
26
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.280
we used to have to do those like press or
27
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.640
things where you just do them back to back to
28
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.239
back to back, and by the fifth or seventh one
29
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:07.439
you're just making shut up.
30
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.959
You know, that's crazy.
31
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.280
Before we get into the project with Man just talking
32
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.159
about in access and how much Michael Hutchett's you know,
33
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.599
meant to the business man for so many years out there.
34
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.439
I've been gone almost three decades now to love the
35
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:24.319
group in excess. I've had Andrew Ferriss here on my
36
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.799
joke to talk about so many of the great projects
37
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.760
and all that great music they put back out in
38
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.760
the eighties too. Let's talk about your background, Man, I
39
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.640
mentioned you working with Madonna and so many great people
40
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.400
out there. What kind of drew you Danny to the
41
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.799
music business and kind of early on in your career,
42
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.040
what was kind of thriving out there? What what did
43
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.760
that music bug like, I want to take this from
44
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:43.680
a hobby to a career.
45
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.239
Wow, well, you know, and I'm already old as it is.
46
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.040
It was gonna make me sound even older. But he
47
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.040
had been dead for ten years by the time I
48
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.640
got to him. But I saw I saw poster Jimmy.
49
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.040
I was about eleven, and I didn't kind of understand
50
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.120
what it meant. I just saw that image and the
51
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.280
white strat not my I want that. And I was
52
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.199
really into sports as a kid, but when it became
53
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.560
a parent, by like twelve or thirteen that I wasn't
54
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.439
going to the NBA.
55
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.319
There's not a ten inch Jews in the NBA.
56
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.520
I kind of went throughout and Hendricks was really the
57
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:24.319
first sort of person that connected me to it and
58
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.719
like kind of lit the fire. But as a kid
59
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.240
uses where you're so esusually when you're first getting into
60
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.680
music and you're young, you're super opinionated, and this guy's
61
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.479
the best, that guy's the best. There's only but yeah,
62
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.240
it was really that was what set me off. But
63
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.639
what was really the kind of I think the thing,
64
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.360
the pivotal moment in my life or thing in my life.
65
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.000
And again somehow I just knew to do. This was
66
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.560
at about fifteen. I got a guitar at thirteen, and
67
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.680
by fifteen I had got my hands on like you know,
68
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.400
I had a little mini portas studio and a drum
69
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.919
machine and a synth, and I was starting to put
70
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.479
together and as it became available, I could get my
71
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.599
hands on more gear where by the time I think
72
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.000
I was about seventeen when I got my first sampler
73
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.240
and I was one of the first people in LA
74
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.919
to have one, and most musicians but he done with
75
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.319
a sampler. Those things are stupid d d d da
76
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.400
da da da dada. But just something and drew me
77
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.560
to it because I always more had a knack for
78
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.120
putting things together, you know than being the world's greatest
79
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.280
guitar player per saved and though that's what I wanted
80
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.240
to be, but in same with the sports, I realized
81
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.159
there was guys around me that were better players. But
82
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.800
I had a knack for knowing what to play, you
83
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.360
know what I mean, And that I don't think is
84
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.400
emphasized as much. That's what's going to take you somewhere.
85
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.240
There's especially these days you see these kids on YouTube. Man,
86
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.199
they're unbelievable, these nine year old kids playing like you
87
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:48.199
know yyz or Eddie Va Hill for now. You know,
88
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.599
stick a blank track in front of them, see if
89
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:51.319
they come up with Now.
90
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:52.159
That was always my.
91
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.400
Thing, so you know that sort of was it, you know,
92
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.759
getting into sampling and getting turned down the public enemy,
93
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.759
but then still being super into rock and just kind
94
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.120
of having access to all these different styles of music
95
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.280
out of time when everything was you know, separated, and
96
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.439
then going to the UK and meeting the you know,
97
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.560
black rape guys and coming to find out, wow, they
98
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.160
like me, you know, because if you tried to put
99
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.240
a drum loop on a rock record in the eighties,
100
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.120
the band would get you out of the studio with
101
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:25.879
a machete.
102
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:26.079
Man.
103
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.120
It's like, we're not putting that shit on our stuff,
104
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:28.399
you know.
105
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.519
And it was with a hip hop side of things,
106
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.399
where if you wanted to play live instruments and stuff,
107
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.839
that wasn't really happening either. But then it started to
108
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.000
sort of there was just this you know sort of
109
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.519
some people that were kind of see where everything was going.
110
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.920
And I was really lucky because everyone was very open mind.
111
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.439
And when I came to realize, you know, the charts
112
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.560
there are crazy. You could have one hundred different styles
113
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.439
of music in the top ten. So people just loved music.
114
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.279
They weren't really caught up and was it RMB, was
115
00:04:59.319 --> 00:04:59.839
it hip hop?
116
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:00.319
You know?
117
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:00.560
Which?
118
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.319
Where are you here? Everything's very metalized. So yeah, that
119
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:05.199
was sort of it.
120
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.480
We talk about this project here with in Excess of
121
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.199
Michael Hutchins, and I've seen the documentary for Inexcess. You
122
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.439
mentioned having Andrew Ferris here on the show. But I
123
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.319
love it, Danny, because this is a cool project talk
124
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.079
about you know, when he was living and this guy
125
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.160
was the big time rock star. This guy was like
126
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.079
living his dream. He did so much. He was revered
127
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.199
for all his great hits back in the day, like
128
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.160
the first time day. Oh, like what vibe went through you?
129
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.560
Because the funny thing with Michael is, you know, and
130
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:34.959
you got to put this all in the proper context
131
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.800
now it's he's he's look onst ceesess of in Excess
132
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.519
because at one point they were like quote unquote the
133
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.240
biggest man in the world, like they had that you know,
134
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.480
it would get the torch would get passed, and I
135
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.079
think you too, ca him up right behind it took it.
136
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.360
Never really ever let it go, because I don't know
137
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.279
if we have that anymore. But by the time the
138
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.480
way I got to Michael is Michael was very very
139
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.920
you know, he was just on this mission as an artist,
140
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.439
like he was constantly trying to push.
141
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.800
The boundaries of whatever it is he was doing.
142
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.639
So he was a huge fan of that poster behind me,
143
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.959
that black Rape record, and that was my first hit record,
144
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.360
and he had heard it and he just fell in
145
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.279
love with the production and he reached out to Sean
146
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:22.439
right Or, the singer. So I love the sound of
147
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.120
this record because he had been working on stuff outside
148
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.360
of in Excess and that was really really important to
149
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.800
him because I think he felt like within the band.
150
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.720
I mean again, not knocking the band, but you know,
151
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:40.680
he had this other sort of itch he needed to scratch,
152
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:42.920
and that's sort of where I came in, and he
153
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.720
sent me some music to hear. He had been developing
154
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.639
some stuff with a guy named Andy Go from Gang
155
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.920
of Four, and I was immediate. I was like, wow,
156
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.680
this stuff's really really cool. And we got on the
157
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.240
phone and like you're saying, it's funny because to be honest,
158
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.240
I wasn't the biggest Inexcess fan, like going into it.
159
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.160
If you're of my age is I think I had
160
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.160
over the years at least two or three girlfriends that
161
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.120
were in love with him. So you know, it took
162
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.240
all of about fifteen seconds to fall in love with
163
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.560
the guy on the phone, and Michael was very he
164
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.399
was very direct. It's like what you saw was what
165
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.000
you got, and there was no games. And if he
166
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.199
was happy, he lets you know. He was unhappy, he
167
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.879
lets you know. And he was a real, real just
168
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.199
it was I was very lucky because it was again
169
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.839
it was I was sort of I had just had
170
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.959
a number one record and I was just sort of
171
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.680
like coming into the world and I kind of had
172
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.639
him as like a big brother, just sort of, you know,
173
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.759
show me the ropes a bit, so to speak. And
174
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.199
he was dealing with a ton of you know, stress
175
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.839
and drama because we were in London and the tabloid
176
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.920
press was just relentless because of his relationship with Paula,
177
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.160
So he had a lot of stuff going on outside
178
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:52.839
of the music. And I think the music we were
179
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.079
making was like one of the It was like a
180
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.160
bit of an oasis in that desert for him, you know.
181
00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:59.800
So I love it.
182
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.040
And let's talk about this project too, because these were
183
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.839
like songs he left behind too. This is like cool
184
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.920
vibe here, man. These are like reallyposthumous singles that are
185
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.800
there two new ones one way and of course saved
186
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.360
my life, which we're gonna play a little bit to
187
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.240
work on this, Like how all this came about? And
188
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.959
like in his catalog of songs to like leave behind Too,
189
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.279
How did you get involved with this project to produce
190
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:24.000
these two songs?
191
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:25.959
Well, yeah, I mean it goes back to when he
192
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:26.439
was alive.
193
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.560
So we had been working on a record and.
194
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.839
We had about twelve So we had twelve songs finished
195
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.799
before he died, and they were basically done. I mean
196
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.279
we had even done some mixes and you know, we
197
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.559
had started. What had happened was him and Andy had
198
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.360
a really you know, sort of solid foundation because he
199
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.919
had been working with different people trying to find that
200
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.200
right person that he could work on his solo stuff with.
201
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.559
And he he went through a few different things and
202
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.279
he was trying to and they kind of got traction
203
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.600
and they had about six or seven songs, and then
204
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.600
I got brought into the picture really initially to focus
205
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.799
more on the sound. He still felt like something was missing,
206
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.240
but he liked what was there. It was obvious that
207
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.320
they were on something really cool. And then we sort
208
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.759
of our relationship kind of took on a life of
209
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.080
its own, and then we started writing together. We were just.
210
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.200
I mean, he was literally here. We were writing songs
211
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:17.960
up until a few days before he died, and then
212
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:19.399
he went back and I think if he had a
213
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.159
live we would have continued. We probably would have tried
214
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.360
to get a couple more in the can and looked
215
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.519
at what we had and at some point, you know,
216
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.000
figured out, Okay, what do you want to do with
217
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.720
this record, and maybe go out and promote it and
218
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.679
do all that stuff. But it didn't go down that way,
219
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.399
so he passed away, and in ninety nine the record
220
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:40.080
was licensed to V two. Because what's important to understand,
221
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.879
and they'll give you some insight into how and much
222
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:43.919
this meant to Michael.
223
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.840
He self financed everything he did all and there's reasons
224
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:48.399
for that.
225
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.440
You know, but the bottom line is that's what's put
226
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.039
me in the position I'm in today to be able
227
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.679
to put it out. Because he self financed it, he
228
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.039
was in control of everything. He wanted to get the
229
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.720
music right. Then he could figure out what to do
230
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.799
with it, so to speak, which in those days he
231
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.279
could have got a you know, six figure record deal
232
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.639
without blanket, you know. But so to do it that
233
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.200
way then, I mean, now it does sound like a
234
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.080
big deal. It's what everybodchu you have to do. But
235
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.320
in those days where somebody of his stature, he could
236
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.399
have got a you know, he could have had an
237
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.360
advance and you know, et cetera, et cetera.
238
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.879
So that's that's really what it was about for him.
239
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.200
It was about getting it right creatively and finding this
240
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:29.559
sounding was chanting. And we put the record out on
241
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:33.360
V two in ninety nine, and you know, and in
242
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.600
fairness to the label, I think it was their second release,
243
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.840
but they had the Moby Records, so they knew how
244
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.240
to put a record out because that record was that
245
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.080
one came out right before us, I think, but outside
246
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.639
of Australia and the Light a Day. And then cut
247
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.440
to about ten years later, I got a phone call
248
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.360
from from a guy who was running the estate and
249
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.600
the day to day stuff for his trust, and it
250
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.600
turned out there were all these songs. There was just
251
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.360
tape and a tape locker didn't know what was on them.
252
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.480
So I'm like, you know, all right, well let's see
253
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.080
if there's even anything there, because we've got to kind
254
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:06.000
of listen to the stuff.
255
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.159
And it was like most of it was just on
256
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:08.840
two inch tapes.
257
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:11.600
So it had to get transferred and just I had
258
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:13.759
to open these sessions up and like kind of go
259
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.279
through this shit. But we figured it out really quickly
260
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.559
that there was material there, There was some stuff of value.
261
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.279
There were about thirty ideas, and I think I ultimately
262
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.720
got about seven things the public can year out of them.
263
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.840
So this is the result of that. And then the
264
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:29.960
other kind of piece to it was that, well, hey,
265
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.960
you know, there's no point in just putting another record
266
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.960
out without some way to market it, because we just
267
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.919
did that ten years ago and it didn't do much.
268
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.360
Let's let's preating get a documentary made that could like
269
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.240
sort of centerund the discovery of the songs and you know,
270
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.120
finishing them, and then we can weave in some of
271
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.960
Michael's story because nothing had been done at this point.
272
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.440
We're talking in two thousand and eight cut you know,
273
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.039
going through a bunch of different directors. It took about
274
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.879
eight years, and we finally in twenty seventeen got channels
275
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.720
in Australia to do The Last Rock Star and it
276
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:08.639
only aired in Australia and New Zealand, and was you know,
277
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.879
recut the film for an international release and then we
278
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:12.639
would release.
279
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.519
These music shi anise of the film.
280
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.120
For a bunch of reasons, it didn't shake out that
281
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:22.200
way and cut to like a late twenty three early funny, like,
282
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.639
you know, the fans knew about this music because there
283
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:25.559
were little bits and.
284
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.879
Pass of it in the Last Rock Star. Let's get
285
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:29.360
it out there. Let's start to get it out there
286
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:33.879
and build some momentum, you know, the hopeful release. And
287
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.399
that's why we did the final because I didn't stick
288
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.879
it on Spotify and do a digital release and I
289
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.320
didn't have the resources to promote that. And it's worked
290
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.519
out fantastic. You know, I think the I'm really proud
291
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.879
of everything we've done. I mean, the quality of the product,
292
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.600
and you know, I've have a long relationship with the
293
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.480
fan base, and I know the fan base is very
294
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.080
very you know, high on what we've done. And you know,
295
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.039
it's all sold out. As I said, we got something
296
00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:59.960
new coming down the pike though we can talk about
297
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.039
a minute, but all the vinyls gone.
298
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:04.799
You know, it's all been sold. And I know Michael
299
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:05.919
would dig that. I know he did.
300
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.759
The fact I'm I'm talking on a podcast and you know,
301
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.080
it's really the d music world.
302
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:17.000
And the independent alternative media that's really champion this. I
303
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.200
haven't really got any mainstream support from anybody, and you
304
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.559
would think Michael Hutchinson excess, but it's you guys that
305
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.399
have really allowed this thing to kind of.
306
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.960
Live in the ether. So I really appreciate.
307
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.600
It, man, We appreciate it as much, like I said,
308
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.159
as much as a fan as I am a media
309
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.279
host too. At the same time, Dude, this guy, like
310
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.480
I said, gone nearly three decades, gone too soon. But
311
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.840
I'll tell you, man, anytime you watch the documentary, and
312
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:42.320
like I said, I've had Andrew Ferriss here on the
313
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.240
show to talk everything in access to Man, it's it's
314
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.320

315
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.000

364
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:40.799
of songs Danny he left behind there. I love the
365
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.799
fact that saved my life. Can really this is gonna
366
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:46.119
be one of those songs that really rejuvenates somebody.
367
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:49.279
Wow, that's cool. I appreciate.
368
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:49.559
Yeah.
369
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:51.240
I mean because remember too, like I was sort of
370
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.759
finishing these you know, these have been an on and
371
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:57.079
off again sort of ongoing process. But saved my life
372
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:59.960
in particular was really you know, I hadn't the bat
373
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.359
on my mind. We were we I was working on
374
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.279
it while we were making the film, or at least
375
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.079
finishing it. So it's very cinematic, you know, in the
376
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:08.640
way if the last rocks are I'm sure a lot
377
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:10.279
of the fans have seen it and it lives online
378
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:13.359
and stuff. It really is effective. I mean it's really emotional,
379
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:16.559
and you know, I want to mention Bernard Feller and
380
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.599
he's saying on you know, like Herbie Cancock, he's one
381
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:23.240
of the most amazing vocalists of all time. He's doing
382
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.559
all the choral arrangements on there. So he came in
383
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:27.799
and helped me just like sort of beef it up
384
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:29.799
a bit. But it's all obviously Michael singing all the
385
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.880
lead vocals, and yeah, I appreciate that, man. I mean
386
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.759
it was just again just trying. You know, Michael left
387
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:40.480
me with a pretty good you know, he left me
388
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.839
with a good sense of like what would have flown
389
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:44.559
because we had done a lot of stuff together and
390
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.839
and our only sort of thing was, you know, we're
391
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.839
we're gonna, we're gonna we're gonna let the music take it,
392
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.960
take us wherever it wants to take us. We're not
393
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.559
gonna rule anything out, you know, and you know, when
394
00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:59.119
it's working, and you know what it is and and
395
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:01.599
you know, so he left me with a really strong
396
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:06.680
sense like you know what would have sort of own
397
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:09.160
creatively between the two of us because it was easy
398
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:09.480
for us.
399
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.200
We just sort of connected and that was it.
400
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:16.759
When we're off and running. But you know, I appreciate
401
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:19.000
that a lot's gone on.
402
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.279
It's a lot, a lot of years, a lot of work.
403
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.000
A lot of you know, nipping and tucking and so
404
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:28.599
to speak. And so yeah, I appreciate that.
405
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.640
Man, oh dude, it's awesome too. You mentioned y'all were
406
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.160
sold out, but I love that too, because you were talking.
407
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:36.759
We were just kind of chit chatting for the show
408
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.759
that standard black and the White and it would be
409
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.319
a Boss Sonics and of course out there there was
410
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.400
also another version of it and read via the Deco Entertainment.
411
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:47.200
So you guys had sold out because this was like
412
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.680
April ninth of last year, when that stuff's been gone.
413
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:52.720
To give us an up there, there's going to be
414
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:54.920
more out there since fantas Plan.
415
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.880
Well, well yeah, I mean like the idea too, you know,
416
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:01.440
I mean, we didn't do massive numbers, but we did
417
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:03.920
respectable I mean, let's let's remember it's a ten inch
418
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:09.240
picture disc. Double side says, it's like very but I
419
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:12.160
wanted to make something there was I wanted it to
420
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:14.519
be collectable. I wanted to get even if you don't
421
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:18.759
have a record player, you can still you know, buy
422
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:21.079
this thing as a fan. And it's a really cool
423
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:23.599
thing just to have. And you know that be Pirate
424
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:28.119
Press that did the actual it exceeded my even remotest expectations,
425
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:32.559
just as far as the quality of the product and
426
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.359
Deco did. We established it with the black and white
427
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:39.279
and just did that direct on the bossonics dot com site,
428
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:42.200
and then Deco picked it, picked it up for like
429
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:47.000
you know distribution, I mean Amazon where everywhere, Walmart and
430
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:50.079
and all those were shipped out and then we did
431
00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:52.160
it was funny because we did it. We did the
432
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:54.960
run of Red, and before all the red were even gone,
433
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:56.880
they were asking for more. So then we decided to
434
00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.400
do a little bit of another run of blue. So
435
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:02.359
there's Red Blew and the two things, you know, along
436
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:05.359
with you know, keeping the quality up and just making
437
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:09.039
sure anything we do lives up to the standard like
438
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:13.000
Michael set with and without his band. I mean they
439
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:16.039
set a very high standard, so you can't do anything
440
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:18.200
to take away from that because ultimately the whole point
441
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.680
here is to remind the world of his greatness and hopefully,
442
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.000
you know, ship the narrative people thinking about how great
443
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.319
of a performer he was and a front man, and
444
00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:29.640
because he was like you were saying earlier, he's really
445
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:34.799
super respected, you know, especially by other frontmen, and all
446
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:38.599
the press has been super positive and just everything around
447
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.960
it has been positive. So you know, we also got
448
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:45.359
a lot of you know, communicating with the fan base
449
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:49.240
because there's a really strong community, especially face book. You know.
450
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:49.720
The thing is.
451
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:55.440
The people that admin the fan pages got I've.
452
00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:57.720
Got along with a bunch of them, so a lot
453
00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:58.240
of them.
454
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:02.240
Asking for a CD, which in twenty twenty four I
455
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:06.079
was like, wow, people still want CDs. We're gonna do
456
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:09.799
a Maxi single and it's got a It's pretty cool
457
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:11.759
because it's gonna have One Way and saved my life
458
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:18.240
on it. I've got a remix with uh these remixers
459
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:21.759
called Mason Boss who do like sort of these really
460
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:25.720
sort of like high energy, you know, electronica remixes. So
461
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:27.079
there's one of those in One Way.
462
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:31.039
Then there's an alternative version of One Way that Nick McKay,
463
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:33.519
the original guitar player from the Verb and I were.
464
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.640
Pretty friendly, and while I was sort of finished tracks,
465
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.119
I hooked up with Nick and I sent him one
466
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:43.119
way because I was there was something specific I asked
467
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:44.759
him to do and he did it. So we did
468
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:48.200
a Nick mckab at it where it's all Nick's guitar parts,
469
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:49.000
kind of the Verb.
470
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.319
You're gonna dig that, and then you know, I did
471
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:53.359
another version.
472
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:56.119
Just a sort of tightened up version of my table,
473
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.119
so it's got you know, it's it's there's a lot
474
00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:01.920
on there and it's coming out a main man through MVD,
475
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.960
so it's going to be just like the similar to
476
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:05.680
the deck or release.
477
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:07.680
It'll be everywhere. Everyone will be able to find it,
478
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:10.480
and it's The street date is April twenty fifth. But
479
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.599
one of the things I'm veryl to do or is
480
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:17.400
talk about a anything until it's like one hundred percent,
481
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:21.160
because that's been a long road and there's been a
482
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.559
couple of false starts back in the day, and now
483
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:24.519
that I'm sort of.
484
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.960
At the helm, I've tried to make sure everything I do.
485
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:32.160
I say I'm gonna do as far as things coming
486
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:35.279
out happens. So you know, this is one hundred percent.
487
00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:38.359
It's it's it's the it's in the works and it's
488
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:41.880
coming out through main Man m v D April twenty fifth.
489
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:44.160
I look forward to man, look forward to that.
490
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:46.480
Maybe before I played one Way on Your Danny, I'll
491
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:48.519
tell you man, you know, we talked about this. Over
492
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:54.440
fifty million records worldwide, biggest selling Australian act ever out
493
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:58.160
there too, and man, just you know again, I still
494
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:01.039
play those like a playlist. We make those because the
495
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:03.480
music hit so many people in so many different ways.
496
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:05.359
You're talking about this, not just these songs were playing
497
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:09.039
here on the show today in your mind because you
498
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:11.119
know him very well, and I mean you talked to Michael,
499
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:13.839
you knew his passion, Like you said, he self funded this,
500
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:15.599
this whole thing, you know, in his career and things
501
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:20.400
like that. What made in Excess, you know, that band
502
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.200
that you could just turn on back in the eighties
503
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:24.160
and it was like great music to listen to. How
504
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:25.480
did they why did they jail so well?
505
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:29.359
In your opinion, it's funny because in the process of
506
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.680
making Getting the Last Rockstar made, one of the things
507
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:35.039
that happened was that we the first director we got
508
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:38.119
traction with was Julian Temple and he did the Fuilt
509
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:40.519
and the Fury and he did a Joe Strummer uh,
510
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:43.519
you know, the Future is Unwritten. That's where I met
511
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:44.200
him because I.
512
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:44.480
Was in that.
513
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:47.039
I was really tight with Joe Strummer as well.
514
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:51.400
And he didn't end up directing the film board of
515
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:54.519
you know, pre before everything was on YouTube. So we
516
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:59.440
brought a researcher and we literally ended up with you know,
517
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:02.480
a hundred of DVDs. I can't even guess how many
518
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.960
hours of everything of in excess that's ever been anywhere,
519
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.920
you know, MTV Asia, just every sort of piece of
520
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.640
media you can imagine. So my job was to go
521
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:15.240
back through and really more to get rid of the
522
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.000
stuff that wasn't relevant. And I went back through and
523
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.519
it took like a month probably to watch everything. So
524
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:27.519
as I was doing that, it really really hit me
525
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:30.920
a bunch of things. To answer your question. One, how
526
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:31.599
good they.
527
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:34.720
Were, I mean just as a band, you know, like and.
528
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:36.759
It all starts with the songs, dude, I mean this,
529
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:39.720
you know, And I think what it's sort of a
530
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:43.160
double edged sword because they were the first and maybe
531
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:48.640
the best to really take dance beats and dance energy
532
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:50.920
but I mean they were as funky as hell, but
533
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:54.079
then they had that they were a rock band, right,
534
00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:58.559
but everything was wrapped in dance music. So Michael's lyrics
535
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:03.119
where he's singing about it, inter racial relationships, and his lyrics
536
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.400
were never just like throwaway sort of disposable garbage. He
537
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.319
was always singing about pretty heavy shit, but it never
538
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:14.440
really gets recognized because of the package it was wrapped
539
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.240
in sort of, so to speak. You know, So I
540
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:20.240
think what those are the keys a the songs him
541
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:26.039
and Andrew were unbelievable songwriters, you know, those couple of things.
542
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:28.920
It just makes them They have their own sort of
543
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:31.920
like piece of musical real estate, so to.
544
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:34.559
Speak, and nobody's done it better since you know.
545
00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:38.480
O man, that never tears apart and I mean need
546
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:44.319
you tonight, what you need, don't change, Suicide, Blonde, Devil Inside,
547
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:46.720
I mean disappear. These were all songs that really just
548
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:49.440
I mean world wide, like you said, fifty mini copies
549
00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:51.519
sold and of course one of the greatest Australian acts,
550
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:53.200
if not the greatest ever. And I know there's a
551
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:55.160
lot of talent out there too, man, But to separate
552
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:58.039
themselves based on the body of working. Like you said,
553
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.200
the catalog of songs, it is definitely inseparable out there.
554
00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:01.880
All right, we'll tell you what.
555
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:03.559

Man. I gotta say, dude, you're one of.
596
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:02.920
The best guests I've ever had, knowledgeable on music to
597
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:06.119
work with all these greats, not just Michael, but you
598
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:09.000
know you two and Madonna and all these great things. Man,
599
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:11.640
you know, it's crazy how the music business has changed
600
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:14.319
over the last you know, thirty forty years, and you know,
601
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:15.839
one of the reasons we go out there and take
602
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:17.160
the show on the road is to go to those
603
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:20.759
seminars to learn and educate in advance our career, you know,
604
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:23.759
at radio, and of course get the latest happenings in
605
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:26.160
media out there too, and have all these conversations with
606
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:30.279
people about how the industry has changed too. Man, for you, you've
607
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:31.279
been doing this a long time as a producer. I
608
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:34.599
wanted to get your thoughts on just how much good
609
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:37.440
or bad streaming has changed the industry in your mind.
610
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:41.640
Wow, Well yeah, I mean for me, you know, personally.
611
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.160
And look, you never want to come off like the
612
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:49.559
old get them curmudgeon guy, but you know, I mean, hey,
613
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:56.000
it demonetized recordings, man. I mean, it's it's completely you know,
614
00:33:56.039 --> 00:33:59.160
and it's interesting because we're in the process of developing
615
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:02.000
a new documentary around this stuff, and hopefully we'll get
616
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.079
it to across the line and get it made. But
617
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:06.400
big part of what I want to hopefully focus on
618
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:13.039
is parallels and because when Michael was you know, sort
619
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:16.320
of the things he was getting like crucified in the
620
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:20.159
nineties celebrity for artists or whatever you may want to
621
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:24.159
call it, We're your worst nightmare. Empires are built off
622
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:26.679
of that now. And I think the whole what's held
623
00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:29.519
up as the standard, and it's not just in music,
624
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:33.159
I mean in politics and everything has changed so much,
625
00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:36.559
you know, and for good, bad or indifferent. You know.
626
00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:38.719
I think it's like anything, you can see good in
627
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:41.119
it and you can see bad in it. But you know,
628
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:44.800
as far as like just the music business itself, it
629
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:49.599
just seems it really feels like the the you know,
630
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:54.519
the pie. There's just a few big pieces of the
631
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:57.239
pie for a handful of people, and it's just.
632
00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:01.119
Like squeezed a lot of people out of.
633
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:04.079
The quote unquote mainstream, and it's really really a fight
634
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:09.559
just you know, survive. And then the problem for me is,
635
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:11.920
you know, and that's what I'm hoping, Michael. You know,
636
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:14.440
whatever attention we get helps to remind the world of
637
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.920
like what greatness really looks like. You know, not to
638
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:21.480
knock anybody else, but you know, there there, that's the
639
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:22.840
whole standard what's held up.
640
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:23.119
You know.
641
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:24.360
I think a lot of that has to do with
642
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:28.360
the fact that you know, American idol came along and
643
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:32.519
Allen Shell paradigm is what kids have seen for the
644
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:36.960
last two generations. That's what's held up as what you'd
645
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:40.440
be striving for, which is completely different to you know,
646
00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:44.559
the Rolling Stones and James Brown and Stevie Wonder and
647
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:48.400
you know you two and even cold Play. I mean
648
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:51.639
with you like you keep mentioning Madonna. What's interesting is
649
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:55.360
my that's sort of my first break was Madonna launched
650
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:58.920
Maverick and I was in the first band that got
651
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:01.599
signed to Maverick, which was a big deal. Like our
652
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:06.360
signing was announced on MTV news and she was on
653
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:09.159
our city Hall talking about I signed this band. And
654
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:13.000
you couldn't escape a Madonna or a Prince in those days,
655
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:14.840
whether you wanted to or not. There was sort of
656
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:18.880
this collective consciousness that everyone was tuned into. And now
657
00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:21.679
we live in all these parallel universes and it's that.
658
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:24.639
Are massive that you may never have even heard.
659
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:26.159
Of, you know, because they've got their own sort of
660
00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:27.800
little worlds that they all live in.
661
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.599
And I think that's sort of the other thing that's
662
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:31.440
changed so much.
663
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:35.239
So it's hard to say. I mean, you know, I
664
00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:39.280
think the bottom line is I was very close with
665
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:43.039
Jim Brown, the football player, and he you know, when
666
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.239
you're young and you see things from the rest, it's
667
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:50.039
like you're not able to really appreciate and gage like
668
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:54.119
it's ancient history. But he always used to say, greatness
669
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:57.840
transcends eras, and it doesn't matter if and there's greatness
670
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:01.039
in this era, you know, if there's as much of it,
671
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:03.519
but it's there. But if you go back to the
672
00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:05.840
past and look at all the all time greats, they
673
00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:09.559
just they transcend time, you know. And I think that's
674
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:13.079
ultimately what matters. And that's that's what Michael does. You know,
675
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.599
he try it doesn't matter. You could look it out.
676
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:17.880
He looked, he doesn't look dated. He's just like to
677
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:20.719
drop him right in right, he'd still be amazing, you know,
678
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:23.639
and he'd still rule the world. So I think that's
679
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:25.920
ultimately what matters. He's just trying to live up to
680
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:29.440
that and put some good music out and hopefully, yeah,
681
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:38.840
you know what it'll be, what it'll be, Man's.
682
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:37.280
That's what a lot of it is.
683
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:40.280
Put that music out there and hopefully you're touching somebody
684
00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:41.960
in the very positive way out there too. It's going
685
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:44.880
to reach somebody out there too and hopefully turn turn
686
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.280
their life around for all the crap they're going through
687
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:50.159
to out there on the everyday blue collar workers out
688
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:51.679
there too, and every day life. Let me ask you
689
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:55.079
about this. We'll finish with this one. It's a fantastic project.
690
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:55.679
I love this.
691
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:57.719
I think you guys hit the nail on the head
692
00:37:57.719 --> 00:37:59.280
when he came down to it. I can't wait for
693
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:02.239
get a copy of this. Man, you'll have to send
694
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:03.440
me one too. If you don't want to love to
695
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:07.400
get a copy of this, I'm gonna I'm.
696
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.000
Just sniffing around. I think there's gonna be a there's
697
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:11.679
a few might be able to do one more, a
698
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:15.400
little push and you know, up a few blues and
699
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:17.719
a few reds and do one more, sort of like
700
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:20.519
we got all the pieces in place, and because I
701
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:22.000
know there's still a lot of people out there that
702
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:23.360
want to get their hands on them.
703
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:25.800
And again, I wanted to make sure too for the collectors.
704
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:28.320
I'm not gonna like pull the rug under that, because
705
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:31.280
the other great thing about this project was just the
706
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:34.800
people that are still passionate about music are really into it,
707
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:38.159
especially the vinyl community. I mean, there's an huge community
708
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:39.199
of collectors out.
709
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:41.480
There, you know, so they know they got their heads
710
00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:41.920
on one.
711
00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:42.519
That's it.
712
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:43.239
They got it.
713
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:45.320
We do anything, it's definitely different.
714
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:47.840
But I can scratch a few more up and maybe
715
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:51.280
do one more push and get them, you know, because
716
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:52.840
I know there's some laying around somewhere.
717
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:54.960
There's got to be Let me ask you about this.
718
00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:57.559
I mentioned Madonna and of course everybody you've worked with
719
00:38:57.559 --> 00:38:59.400
with you too, But I gotta ask you for the
720
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:01.559
for the fan out here in the listening audience. Any
721
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:05.760
good for what you can say out there's something you
722
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:08.599
probably can't. But working with the Stones, there's got to
723
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:11.880
be a good Rolling Stones like road story or some
724
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:14.159
kind of phone call that came through that was like,
725
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:16.679
you know what, this changed my life. It was kind
726
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:18.760
of cool to hear this from them, kind of let
727
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:21.119
the cat out of the bag. Any good Rolling Stone stories.
728
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:24.119
Be cons there's a thousand of them. I try not
729
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:25.639
to well, not a thousand of them. But I was
730
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:29.199
very fortunate because and funny enough, the way I met
731
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:32.239
the Road, the way that whole thing went down, was
732
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:35.079
it all started with that first trip to London working
733
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:37.360
with Michael. And you know, it was like after the
734
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.280
first or second day in the studio and Michael, you know,
735
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:42.599
we have to do the whole rock star thing. We
736
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:45.320
went out dinners and then night clubs and we went
737
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:48.840
to this place called Brown's in London and we're in
738
00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:51.800
this you know, club and it's like very it's a
739
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:54.119
pretty intimate place, but it was like a bar really,
740
00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:56.760
and there's you know, all these famous people there. Mick
741
00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:58.840
and Ronnie would come walking in, you know, and I'm
742
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:01.679
like shitting myself because the closest I had ever been
743
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:05.039
to Mick Jagger my first concert was the Coliseum in
744
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:10.239
eighty one. I was two years old, no and famously
745
00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:14.039
opening Rudolf say so I'm talking to Mick Jagger, you know,
746
00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:15.639
and him and Michael are sort of talking.
747
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:18.440
Mick had been doing a solo record and Michael was
748
00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:20.199
raving about me to him, Oh, you got to hook
749
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:22.480
up with Danny, because Mick was sort of complaining about
750
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:24.920
he was having sort of a rough time on his
751
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:25.800
solo project.
752
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:29.320
And that's how, you know, generous and gracious Michael was,
753
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:33.199
you know. But cut to the whole thing of going
754
00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:36.280
through all of that, and I was lucky enough to
755
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:40.920
get I got, you know, I had a good relationship
756
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:43.960
with a lady named Nancy Barry, at Virgin Records and
757
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:45.920
she's like, Danny, you know you got to come out
758
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:48.920
to opening night of Soldier Field. It was Soldier Field
759
00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:51.320
opening night of the Bridges of Avalon tour. Now I
760
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.519
hadn't seen any of the band or anything into since
761
00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:56.360
we had finished the record, which has probably been at
762
00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:59.960
least six months. And Nancy said, just get to Chica
763
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:03.320
and stay will don't have for word about anything else.
764
00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:05.679
So I show up at the venue the night before
765
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:10.159
it's opening night of the US tour of the Stones.
766
00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:11.599
I mean it was a big deal. They took the
767
00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:14.719
whole city over right, So I don't know what how
768
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.480
was he doing here or what? You know? And I mean,
769
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:19.760
he's so good to see you. Da da da da da.
770
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:23.159
So Mick asked me, He's like, Daanny, how you getting
771
00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:25.000
to the show tomorrow? And I'm like, I don't know.
772
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:27.480
He goes meet me at the service elevator at eleven
773
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:29.559
o'clock whatever it was, So I go and meet him.
774
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:32.599
I got to go down the service elevator and we
775
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:35.440
got to the underneath the hotel and the whole staff
776
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:38.480
of the hotel was all lined up waiting to see them.
777
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.039
Under the ground. There was like a police escort, you know,
778
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:44.400
and I got to ride in the opening night of
779
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:46.960
the Stones US tour, you know, in the car with Mick.
780
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:48.000
I mean stuff like that.
781
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:51.199
It's just like I remember being in New York work
782
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:52.639
when some.
783
00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:55.559
Prost was out. It was the same thing the Stones.
784
00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:58.280
That record always reminds me of New York. Miss she
785
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.280
was on the radio NonStop and just they were like,
786
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:03.760
we were staying in this hotel on Central Park. You know,
787
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:05.960
I was a kid, I was eleven, and they knew this.
788
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:08.360
We knew the Stones were in the Plaza hotel. They
789
00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:10.519
were like a few hotels down. Just the fact they
790
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:13.519
were in New York. And I remember Magic got out
791
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:16.079
with the Rolling Stones, you know, and I got to
792
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:17.840
actually do that, you know. I got to hang out
793
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:20.000
with them in New York too. So I went on
794
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:22.760
the road of you know, a couple of cities and
795
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:26.119
hung out. And you know, it's just like they live
796
00:42:26.239 --> 00:42:28.880
up to everything you could imagine about the Rolling Stones,
797
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:31.800
like being in their inner circle. They live up to
798
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:32.679
it and exceed it.
799
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:33.199
Like Keith.
800
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:35.800
You know, it's like getting to be around Keith, you know.
801
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:37.719
But I think what's interesting is when they go into
802
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:40.320
a hotel they'll take that. They take over the two
803
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:43.119
top floors, right, So the second from the top is
804
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:45.559
the managers. It's like a buffer, and then the top
805
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:46.480
floors is.
806
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:48.159
You know, Kee's in a room, Mixed in a room,
807
00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:50.960
Ronnie's in a room, and each room has its own
808
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:55.679
culture to it, you know, like Pirate Ship. It's all dudes,
809
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:59.119
and it's like listening to Barry and ACDC, and you know,
810
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:02.360
Ronnie's more a fane at least on that tour, you know,
811
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:04.159
and then Nick kind of has his thing going on.
812
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:07.280
It was amazing, man. You know, I can't say enough.
813
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:11.320
It's just to give them something back creatively after.
814
00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:13.920
Everything I got from them was just it's it's just
815
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:15.679
one of those things you can't even really it almost
816
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:17.719
sounds like I don't even tell people.
817
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:21.400
About it because it sounds so stupid, you know, like
818
00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:22.039
I'm lying.
819
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:23.360
Nobody believes you.
820
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:24.360
Right.
821
00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:27.440
That's you know, good stories right here too. Love this
822
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:30.280
project with Michael Hutches. Like I said, yo know, those
823
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:33.119
songs to make people feel something out there too. We
824
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:34.679
got to play a couple here on the show today
825
00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:36.639
too as well. And looking forward to that date April
826
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:40.079
twenty fifth, remind people about April twenty fifth again and
827
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:43.440
just this cool project for one way, man, I love
828
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:46.079
this And of course you mentioned that CD and everything
829
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:47.800
else remind people about April twenty fifth.
830
00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:48.280
Will we close?
831
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:53.280
Yeah, So so through main Man Records MVD distributors were
832
00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:57.239
dropping a MAXI single with a you know remixes well
833
00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:00.000
the original versions in one way and saved my life
834
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:04.000
said boss remakes a cool Nick McKay kind of guitar
835
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:07.480
player from the verb amazing guitar player urban M's. I
836
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:10.159
know that would have made Michael really happy because they
837
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:11.719
were actually in the studio when we were in the
838
00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:15.000
studio at Real World doing record at the same time,
839
00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:16.880
So I know that would have really pleased him that
840
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:20.320
Nick's on the record. And yeah, April twenty fifth is
841
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:22.639
going to be everywhere, so keep an eye out for that,
842
00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:25.199
you know, and there's gonna be more to come.
843
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:28.360
Just you know, the wheels are in motion and when
844
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:29.320

24
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:56.200
That's crazy, you know.
25
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.479
Yeah, I know how that goes. Back in the day,
26
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.280
we used to have to do those like press or
27
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.640
things where you just do them back to back to
28
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.239
back to back, and by the fifth or seventh one
29
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:07.439
you're just making shut up.
30
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.959
You know, that's crazy.
31
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.280
Before we get into the project with Man just talking
32
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.159
about in access and how much Michael Hutchett's you know,
33
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.599
meant to the business man for so many years out there.
34
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.439
I've been gone almost three decades now to love the
35
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:24.319
group in excess. I've had Andrew Ferriss here on my
36
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.799
joke to talk about so many of the great projects
37
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.760
and all that great music they put back out in
38
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:30.760
the eighties too. Let's talk about your background, Man, I
39
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.640
mentioned you working with Madonna and so many great people
40
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.400
out there. What kind of drew you Danny to the
41
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.799
music business and kind of early on in your career,
42
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.040
what was kind of thriving out there? What what did
43
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.760
that music bug like, I want to take this from
44
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:43.680
a hobby to a career.
45
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.239
Wow, well, you know, and I'm already old as it is.
46
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.040
It was gonna make me sound even older. But he
47
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.040
had been dead for ten years by the time I
48
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.640
got to him. But I saw I saw poster Jimmy.
49
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.040
I was about eleven, and I didn't kind of understand
50
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.120
what it meant. I just saw that image and the
51
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.280
white strat not my I want that. And I was
52
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.199
really into sports as a kid, but when it became
53
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.560
a parent, by like twelve or thirteen that I wasn't
54
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.439
going to the NBA.
55
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.319
There's not a ten inch Jews in the NBA.
56
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.520
I kind of went throughout and Hendricks was really the
57
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:24.319
first sort of person that connected me to it and
58
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.719
like kind of lit the fire. But as a kid
59
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.240
uses where you're so esusually when you're first getting into
60
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.680
music and you're young, you're super opinionated, and this guy's
61
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.479
the best, that guy's the best. There's only but yeah,
62
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.240
it was really that was what set me off. But
63
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.639
what was really the kind of I think the thing,
64
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.360
the pivotal moment in my life or thing in my life.
65
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.000
And again somehow I just knew to do. This was
66
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.560
at about fifteen. I got a guitar at thirteen, and
67
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.680
by fifteen I had got my hands on like you know,
68
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.400
I had a little mini portas studio and a drum
69
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.919
machine and a synth, and I was starting to put
70
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.479
together and as it became available, I could get my
71
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.599
hands on more gear where by the time I think
72
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.000
I was about seventeen when I got my first sampler
73
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.240
and I was one of the first people in LA
74
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.919
to have one, and most musicians but he done with
75
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.319
a sampler. Those things are stupid d d d da
76
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.400
da da da dada. But just something and drew me
77
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.560
to it because I always more had a knack for
78
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.120
putting things together, you know than being the world's greatest
79
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.280
guitar player per saved and though that's what I wanted
80
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.240
to be, but in same with the sports, I realized
81
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.159
there was guys around me that were better players. But
82
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.800
I had a knack for knowing what to play, you
83
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.360
know what I mean, And that I don't think is
84
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.400
emphasized as much. That's what's going to take you somewhere.
85
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.240
There's especially these days you see these kids on YouTube. Man,
86
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.199
they're unbelievable, these nine year old kids playing like you
87
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:48.199
know yyz or Eddie Va Hill for now. You know,
88
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.599
stick a blank track in front of them, see if
89
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:51.319
they come up with Now.
90
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:52.159
That was always my.
91
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.400
Thing, so you know that sort of was it, you know,
92
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.759
getting into sampling and getting turned down the public enemy,
93
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.759
but then still being super into rock and just kind
94
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.120
of having access to all these different styles of music
95
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.280
out of time when everything was you know, separated, and
96
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.439
then going to the UK and meeting the you know,
97
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.560
black rape guys and coming to find out, wow, they
98
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.160
like me, you know, because if you tried to put
99
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.240
a drum loop on a rock record in the eighties,
100
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.120
the band would get you out of the studio with
101
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:25.879
a machete.
102
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:26.079
Man.
103
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.120
It's like, we're not putting that shit on our stuff,
104
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:28.399
you know.
105
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.519
And it was with a hip hop side of things,
106
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.399
where if you wanted to play live instruments and stuff,
107
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.839
that wasn't really happening either. But then it started to
108
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.000
sort of there was just this you know sort of
109
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.519
some people that were kind of see where everything was going.
110
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.920
And I was really lucky because everyone was very open mind.
111
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.439
And when I came to realize, you know, the charts
112
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.560
there are crazy. You could have one hundred different styles
113
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.439
of music in the top ten. So people just loved music.
114
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.279
They weren't really caught up and was it RMB, was
115
00:04:59.319 --> 00:04:59.839
it hip hop?
116
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:00.319
You know?
117
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:00.560
Which?
118
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.319
Where are you here? Everything's very metalized. So yeah, that
119
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:05.199
was sort of it.
120
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.480
We talk about this project here with in Excess of
121
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.199
Michael Hutchins, and I've seen the documentary for Inexcess. You
122
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.439
mentioned having Andrew Ferris here on the show. But I
123
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.319
love it, Danny, because this is a cool project talk
124
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.079
about you know, when he was living and this guy
125
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.160
was the big time rock star. This guy was like
126
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.079
living his dream. He did so much. He was revered
127
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.199
for all his great hits back in the day, like
128
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.160
the first time day. Oh, like what vibe went through you?
129
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.560
Because the funny thing with Michael is, you know, and
130
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:34.959
you got to put this all in the proper context
131
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.800
now it's he's he's look onst ceesess of in Excess
132
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.519
because at one point they were like quote unquote the
133
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.240
biggest man in the world, like they had that you know,
134
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.480
it would get the torch would get passed, and I
135
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.079
think you too, ca him up right behind it took it.
136
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.360
Never really ever let it go, because I don't know
137
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.279
if we have that anymore. But by the time the
138
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.480
way I got to Michael is Michael was very very
139
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.920
you know, he was just on this mission as an artist,
140
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.439
like he was constantly trying to push.
141
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.800
The boundaries of whatever it is he was doing.
142
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.639
So he was a huge fan of that poster behind me,
143
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.959
that black Rape record, and that was my first hit record,
144
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.360
and he had heard it and he just fell in
145
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.279
love with the production and he reached out to Sean
146
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:22.439
right Or, the singer. So I love the sound of
147
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.120
this record because he had been working on stuff outside
148
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.360
of in Excess and that was really really important to
149
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.800
him because I think he felt like within the band.
150
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.720
I mean again, not knocking the band, but you know,
151
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:40.680
he had this other sort of itch he needed to scratch,
152
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:42.920
and that's sort of where I came in, and he
153
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.720
sent me some music to hear. He had been developing
154
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.639
some stuff with a guy named Andy Go from Gang
155
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.920
of Four, and I was immediate. I was like, wow,
156
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.680
this stuff's really really cool. And we got on the
157
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.240
phone and like you're saying, it's funny because to be honest,
158
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.240
I wasn't the biggest Inexcess fan, like going into it.
159
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.160
If you're of my age is I think I had
160
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.160
over the years at least two or three girlfriends that
161
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.120
were in love with him. So you know, it took
162
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:09.240
all of about fifteen seconds to fall in love with
163
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.560
the guy on the phone, and Michael was very he
164
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.399
was very direct. It's like what you saw was what
165
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.000
you got, and there was no games. And if he
166
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.199
was happy, he lets you know. He was unhappy, he
167
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.879
lets you know. And he was a real, real just
168
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.199
it was I was very lucky because it was again
169
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.839
it was I was sort of I had just had
170
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.959
a number one record and I was just sort of
171
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.680
like coming into the world and I kind of had
172
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.639
him as like a big brother, just sort of, you know,
173
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.759
show me the ropes a bit, so to speak. And
174
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.199
he was dealing with a ton of you know, stress
175
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.839
and drama because we were in London and the tabloid
176
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.920
press was just relentless because of his relationship with Paula,
177
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.160
So he had a lot of stuff going on outside
178
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:52.839
of the music. And I think the music we were
179
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.079
making was like one of the It was like a
180
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.160
bit of an oasis in that desert for him, you know.
181
00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:59.800
So I love it.
182
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.040
And let's talk about this project too, because these were
183
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.839
like songs he left behind too. This is like cool
184
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.920
vibe here, man. These are like reallyposthumous singles that are
185
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.800
there two new ones one way and of course saved
186
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.360
my life, which we're gonna play a little bit to
187
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.240
work on this, Like how all this came about? And
188
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.959
like in his catalog of songs to like leave behind Too,
189
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.279
How did you get involved with this project to produce
190
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:24.000
these two songs?
191
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:25.959
Well, yeah, I mean it goes back to when he
192
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:26.439
was alive.
193
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.560
So we had been working on a record and.
194
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.839
We had about twelve So we had twelve songs finished
195
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.799
before he died, and they were basically done. I mean
196
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.279
we had even done some mixes and you know, we
197
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.559
had started. What had happened was him and Andy had
198
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.360
a really you know, sort of solid foundation because he
199
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.919
had been working with different people trying to find that
200
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.200
right person that he could work on his solo stuff with.
201
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.559
And he he went through a few different things and
202
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.279
he was trying to and they kind of got traction
203
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.600
and they had about six or seven songs, and then
204
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.600
I got brought into the picture really initially to focus
205
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.799
more on the sound. He still felt like something was missing,
206
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.240
but he liked what was there. It was obvious that
207
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.320
they were on something really cool. And then we sort
208
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.759
of our relationship kind of took on a life of
209
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.080
its own, and then we started writing together. We were just.
210
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.200
I mean, he was literally here. We were writing songs
211
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:17.960
up until a few days before he died, and then
212
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:19.399
he went back and I think if he had a
213
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.159
live we would have continued. We probably would have tried
214
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.360
to get a couple more in the can and looked
215
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.519
at what we had and at some point, you know,
216
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.000
figured out, Okay, what do you want to do with
217
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.720
this record, and maybe go out and promote it and
218
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.679
do all that stuff. But it didn't go down that way,
219
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.399
so he passed away, and in ninety nine the record
220
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:40.080
was licensed to V two. Because what's important to understand,
221
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.879
and they'll give you some insight into how and much
222
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:43.919
this meant to Michael.
223
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.840
He self financed everything he did all and there's reasons
224
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:48.399
for that.
225
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.440
You know, but the bottom line is that's what's put
226
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.039
me in the position I'm in today to be able
227
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.679
to put it out. Because he self financed it, he
228
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.039
was in control of everything. He wanted to get the
229
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.720
music right. Then he could figure out what to do
230
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.799
with it, so to speak, which in those days he
231
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.279
could have got a you know, six figure record deal
232
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.639
without blanket, you know. But so to do it that
233
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.200
way then, I mean, now it does sound like a
234
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.080
big deal. It's what everybodchu you have to do. But
235
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.320
in those days where somebody of his stature, he could
236
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.399
have got a you know, he could have had an
237
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.360
advance and you know, et cetera, et cetera.
238
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.879
So that's that's really what it was about for him.
239
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.200
It was about getting it right creatively and finding this
240
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:29.559
sounding was chanting. And we put the record out on
241
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:33.360
V two in ninety nine, and you know, and in
242
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.600
fairness to the label, I think it was their second release,
243
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.840
but they had the Moby Records, so they knew how
244
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.240
to put a record out because that record was that
245
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.080
one came out right before us, I think, but outside
246
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.639
of Australia and the Light a Day. And then cut
247
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.440
to about ten years later, I got a phone call
248
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.360
from from a guy who was running the estate and
249
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:53.600
the day to day stuff for his trust, and it
250
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.600
turned out there were all these songs. There was just
251
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.360
tape and a tape locker didn't know what was on them.
252
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.480
So I'm like, you know, all right, well let's see
253
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.080
if there's even anything there, because we've got to kind
254
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:06.000
of listen to the stuff.
255
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.159
And it was like most of it was just on
256
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:08.840
two inch tapes.
257
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:11.600
So it had to get transferred and just I had
258
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:13.759
to open these sessions up and like kind of go
259
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.279
through this shit. But we figured it out really quickly
260
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.559
that there was material there, There was some stuff of value.
261
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.279
There were about thirty ideas, and I think I ultimately
262
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.720
got about seven things the public can year out of them.
263
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.840
So this is the result of that. And then the
264
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:29.960
other kind of piece to it was that, well, hey,
265
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.960
you know, there's no point in just putting another record
266
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.960
out without some way to market it, because we just
267
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.919
did that ten years ago and it didn't do much.
268
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.360
Let's let's preating get a documentary made that could like
269
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.240
sort of centerund the discovery of the songs and you know,
270
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.120
finishing them, and then we can weave in some of
271
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.960
Michael's story because nothing had been done at this point.
272
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.440
We're talking in two thousand and eight cut you know,
273
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.039
going through a bunch of different directors. It took about
274
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.879
eight years, and we finally in twenty seventeen got channels
275
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.720
in Australia to do The Last Rock Star and it
276
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:08.639
only aired in Australia and New Zealand, and was you know,
277
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.879
recut the film for an international release and then we
278
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:12.639
would release.
279
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.519
These music shi anise of the film.
280
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.120
For a bunch of reasons, it didn't shake out that
281
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:22.200
way and cut to like a late twenty three early funny, like,
282
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.639
you know, the fans knew about this music because there
283
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:25.559
were little bits and.
284
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.879
Pass of it in the Last Rock Star. Let's get
285
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:29.360
it out there. Let's start to get it out there
286
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:33.879
and build some momentum, you know, the hopeful release. And
287
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.399
that's why we did the final because I didn't stick
288
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.879
it on Spotify and do a digital release and I
289
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.320
didn't have the resources to promote that. And it's worked
290
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.519
out fantastic. You know, I think the I'm really proud
291
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.879
of everything we've done. I mean, the quality of the product,
292
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.600
and you know, I've have a long relationship with the
293
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.480
fan base, and I know the fan base is very
294
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.080
very you know, high on what we've done. And you know,
295
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.039
it's all sold out. As I said, we got something
296
00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:59.960
new coming down the pike though we can talk about
297
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.039
a minute, but all the vinyls gone.
298
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:04.799
You know, it's all been sold. And I know Michael
299
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:05.919
would dig that. I know he did.
300
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.759
The fact I'm I'm talking on a podcast and you know,
301
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.080
it's really the d music world.
302
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:17.000
And the independent alternative media that's really champion this. I
303
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.200
haven't really got any mainstream support from anybody, and you
304
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.559
would think Michael Hutchinson excess, but it's you guys that
305
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.399
have really allowed this thing to kind of.
306
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.960
Live in the ether. So I really appreciate.
307
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.600
It, man, We appreciate it as much, like I said,
308
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.159
as much as a fan as I am a media
309
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.279
host too. At the same time, Dude, this guy, like
310
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.480
I said, gone nearly three decades, gone too soon. But
311
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.840
I'll tell you, man, anytime you watch the documentary, and
312
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:42.320
like I said, I've had Andrew Ferriss here on the
313
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.240
show to talk everything in access to Man, it's it's
314
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.320
it's it's cool to to just chat with somebody who's
315
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.000

364
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:40.799
of songs Danny he left behind there. I love the
365
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.799
fact that saved my life. Can really this is gonna
366
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:46.119
be one of those songs that really rejuvenates somebody.
367
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:49.279
Wow, that's cool. I appreciate.
368
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:49.559
Yeah.
369
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:51.240
I mean because remember too, like I was sort of
370
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.759
finishing these you know, these have been an on and
371
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:57.079
off again sort of ongoing process. But saved my life
372
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:59.960
in particular was really you know, I hadn't the bat
373
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.359
on my mind. We were we I was working on
374
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.279
it while we were making the film, or at least
375
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.079
finishing it. So it's very cinematic, you know, in the
376
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:08.640
way if the last rocks are I'm sure a lot
377
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:10.279
of the fans have seen it and it lives online
378
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:13.359
and stuff. It really is effective. I mean it's really emotional,
379
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:16.559
and you know, I want to mention Bernard Feller and
380
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.599
he's saying on you know, like Herbie Cancock, he's one
381
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:23.240
of the most amazing vocalists of all time. He's doing
382
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.559
all the choral arrangements on there. So he came in
383
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:27.799
and helped me just like sort of beef it up
384
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:29.799
a bit. But it's all obviously Michael singing all the
385
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.880
lead vocals, and yeah, I appreciate that, man. I mean
386
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.759
it was just again just trying. You know, Michael left
387
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:40.480
me with a pretty good you know, he left me
388
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.839
with a good sense of like what would have flown
389
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:44.559
because we had done a lot of stuff together and
390
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.839
and our only sort of thing was, you know, we're
391
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.839
we're gonna, we're gonna we're gonna let the music take it,
392
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.960
take us wherever it wants to take us. We're not
393
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.559
gonna rule anything out, you know, and you know, when
394
00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:59.119
it's working, and you know what it is and and
395
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:01.599
you know, so he left me with a really strong
396
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:06.680
sense like you know what would have sort of own
397
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:09.160
creatively between the two of us because it was easy
398
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:09.480
for us.
399
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.200
We just sort of connected and that was it.
400
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:16.759
When we're off and running. But you know, I appreciate
401
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:19.000
that a lot's gone on.
402
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.279
It's a lot, a lot of years, a lot of work.
403
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.000
A lot of you know, nipping and tucking and so
404
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:28.599
to speak. And so yeah, I appreciate that.
405
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.640
Man, oh dude, it's awesome too. You mentioned y'all were
406
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.160
sold out, but I love that too, because you were talking.
407
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:36.759
We were just kind of chit chatting for the show
408
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.759
that standard black and the White and it would be
409
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.319
a Boss Sonics and of course out there there was
410
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.400
also another version of it and read via the Deco Entertainment.
411
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:47.200
So you guys had sold out because this was like
412
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.680
April ninth of last year, when that stuff's been gone.
413
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:52.720
To give us an up there, there's going to be
414
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:54.920
more out there since fantas Plan.
415
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.880
Well, well yeah, I mean like the idea too, you know,
416
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:01.440
I mean, we didn't do massive numbers, but we did
417
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:03.920
respectable I mean, let's let's remember it's a ten inch
418
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:09.240
picture disc. Double side says, it's like very but I
419
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:12.160
wanted to make something there was I wanted it to
420
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:14.519
be collectable. I wanted to get even if you don't
421
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:18.759
have a record player, you can still you know, buy
422
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:21.079
this thing as a fan. And it's a really cool
423
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:23.599
thing just to have. And you know that be Pirate
424
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:28.119
Press that did the actual it exceeded my even remotest expectations,
425
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:32.559
just as far as the quality of the product and
426
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.359
Deco did. We established it with the black and white
427
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:39.279
and just did that direct on the bossonics dot com site,
428
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:42.200
and then Deco picked it, picked it up for like
429
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:47.000
you know distribution, I mean Amazon where everywhere, Walmart and
430
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:50.079
and all those were shipped out and then we did
431
00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:52.160
it was funny because we did it. We did the
432
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:54.960
run of Red, and before all the red were even gone,
433
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:56.880
they were asking for more. So then we decided to
434
00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.400
do a little bit of another run of blue. So
435
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:02.359
there's Red Blew and the two things, you know, along
436
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:05.359
with you know, keeping the quality up and just making
437
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:09.039
sure anything we do lives up to the standard like
438
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:13.000
Michael set with and without his band. I mean they
439
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:16.039
set a very high standard, so you can't do anything
440
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:18.200
to take away from that because ultimately the whole point
441
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.680
here is to remind the world of his greatness and hopefully,
442
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.000
you know, ship the narrative people thinking about how great
443
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.319
of a performer he was and a front man, and
444
00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:29.640
because he was like you were saying earlier, he's really
445
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:34.799
super respected, you know, especially by other frontmen, and all
446
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:38.599
the press has been super positive and just everything around
447
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.960
it has been positive. So you know, we also got
448
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:45.359
a lot of you know, communicating with the fan base
449
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:49.240
because there's a really strong community, especially face book. You know.
450
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:49.720
The thing is.
451
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:55.440
The people that admin the fan pages got I've.
452
00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:57.720
Got along with a bunch of them, so a lot
453
00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:58.240
of them.
454
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:02.240
Asking for a CD, which in twenty twenty four I
455
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:06.079
was like, wow, people still want CDs. We're gonna do
456
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:09.799
a Maxi single and it's got a It's pretty cool
457
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:11.759
because it's gonna have One Way and saved my life
458
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:18.240
on it. I've got a remix with uh these remixers
459
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:21.759
called Mason Boss who do like sort of these really
460
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:25.720
sort of like high energy, you know, electronica remixes. So
461
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:27.079
there's one of those in One Way.
462
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:31.039
Then there's an alternative version of One Way that Nick McKay,
463
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:33.519
the original guitar player from the Verb and I were.
464
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.640
Pretty friendly, and while I was sort of finished tracks,
465
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.119
I hooked up with Nick and I sent him one
466
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:43.119
way because I was there was something specific I asked
467
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:44.759
him to do and he did it. So we did
468
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:48.200
a Nick mckab at it where it's all Nick's guitar parts,
469
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:49.000
kind of the Verb.
470
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:52.319
You're gonna dig that, and then you know, I did
471
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:53.359
another version.
472
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:56.119
Just a sort of tightened up version of my table,
473
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.119
so it's got you know, it's it's there's a lot
474
00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:01.920
on there and it's coming out a main man through MVD,
475
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.960
so it's going to be just like the similar to
476
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:05.680
the deck or release.
477
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:07.680
It'll be everywhere. Everyone will be able to find it,
478
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:10.480
and it's The street date is April twenty fifth. But
479
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.599
one of the things I'm veryl to do or is
480
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:17.400
talk about a anything until it's like one hundred percent,
481
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:21.160
because that's been a long road and there's been a
482
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.559
couple of false starts back in the day, and now
483
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:24.519
that I'm sort of.
484
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.960
At the helm, I've tried to make sure everything I do.
485
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:32.160
I say I'm gonna do as far as things coming
486
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:35.279
out happens. So you know, this is one hundred percent.
487
00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:38.359
It's it's it's the it's in the works and it's
488
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:41.880
coming out through main Man m v D April twenty fifth.
489
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:44.160
I look forward to man, look forward to that.
490
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:46.480
Maybe before I played one Way on Your Danny, I'll
491
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:48.519
tell you man, you know, we talked about this. Over
492
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:54.440
fifty million records worldwide, biggest selling Australian act ever out
493
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:58.160
there too, and man, just you know again, I still
494
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:01.039
play those like a playlist. We make those because the
495
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:03.480
music hit so many people in so many different ways.
496
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:05.359
You're talking about this, not just these songs were playing
497
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:09.039
here on the show today in your mind because you
498
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:11.119
know him very well, and I mean you talked to Michael,
499
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:13.839
you knew his passion, Like you said, he self funded this,
500
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:15.599
this whole thing, you know, in his career and things
501
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:20.400
like that. What made in Excess, you know, that band
502
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.200
that you could just turn on back in the eighties
503
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:24.160
and it was like great music to listen to. How
504
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:25.480
did they why did they jail so well?
505
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:29.359
In your opinion, it's funny because in the process of
506
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.680
making Getting the Last Rockstar made, one of the things
507
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:35.039
that happened was that we the first director we got
508
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:38.119
traction with was Julian Temple and he did the Fuilt
509
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:40.519
and the Fury and he did a Joe Strummer uh,
510
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:43.519
you know, the Future is Unwritten. That's where I met
511
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:44.200
him because I.
512
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:44.480
Was in that.
513
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:47.039
I was really tight with Joe Strummer as well.
514
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:51.400
And he didn't end up directing the film board of
515
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:54.519
you know, pre before everything was on YouTube. So we
516
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:59.440
brought a researcher and we literally ended up with you know,
517
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:02.480
a hundred of DVDs. I can't even guess how many
518
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.960
hours of everything of in excess that's ever been anywhere,
519
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.920
you know, MTV Asia, just every sort of piece of
520
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.640
media you can imagine. So my job was to go
521
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:15.240
back through and really more to get rid of the
522
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.000
stuff that wasn't relevant. And I went back through and
523
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.519
it took like a month probably to watch everything. So
524
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:27.519
as I was doing that, it really really hit me
525
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:30.920
a bunch of things. To answer your question. One, how
526
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:31.599
good they.
527
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:34.720
Were, I mean just as a band, you know, like and.
528
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:36.759
It all starts with the songs, dude, I mean this,
529
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:39.720
you know, And I think what it's sort of a
530
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:43.160
double edged sword because they were the first and maybe
531
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:48.640
the best to really take dance beats and dance energy
532
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:50.920
but I mean they were as funky as hell, but
533
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:54.079
then they had that they were a rock band, right,
534
00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:58.559
but everything was wrapped in dance music. So Michael's lyrics
535
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:03.119
where he's singing about it, inter racial relationships, and his lyrics
536
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.400
were never just like throwaway sort of disposable garbage. He
537
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.319
was always singing about pretty heavy shit, but it never
538
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:14.440
really gets recognized because of the package it was wrapped
539
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.240
in sort of, so to speak. You know, So I
540
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:20.240
think what those are the keys a the songs him
541
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:26.039
and Andrew were unbelievable songwriters, you know, those couple of things.
542
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:28.920
It just makes them They have their own sort of
543
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:31.920
like piece of musical real estate, so to.
544
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:34.559
Speak, and nobody's done it better since you know.
545
00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:38.480
O man, that never tears apart and I mean need
546
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:44.319
you tonight, what you need, don't change, Suicide, Blonde, Devil Inside,
547
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:46.720
I mean disappear. These were all songs that really just
548
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:49.440
I mean world wide, like you said, fifty mini copies
549
00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:51.519
sold and of course one of the greatest Australian acts,
550
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:53.200
if not the greatest ever. And I know there's a
551
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:55.160
lot of talent out there too, man, But to separate
552
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:58.039
themselves based on the body of working. Like you said,
553
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.200
the catalog of songs, it is definitely inseparable out there.
554
00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:01.880
All right, we'll tell you what.
555
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:03.559
We got to play a little one way here, Danny,

Man. I gotta say, dude, you're one of.
596
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:02.920
The best guests I've ever had, knowledgeable on music to
597
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:06.119
work with all these greats, not just Michael, but you
598
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:09.000
know you two and Madonna and all these great things. Man,
599
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:11.640
you know, it's crazy how the music business has changed
600
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:14.319
over the last you know, thirty forty years, and you know,
601
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:15.839
one of the reasons we go out there and take
602
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:17.160
the show on the road is to go to those
603
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:20.759
seminars to learn and educate in advance our career, you know,
604
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:23.759
at radio, and of course get the latest happenings in
605
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:26.160
media out there too, and have all these conversations with
606
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:30.279
people about how the industry has changed too. Man, for you, you've
607
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:31.279
been doing this a long time as a producer. I
608
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:34.599
wanted to get your thoughts on just how much good
609
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:37.440
or bad streaming has changed the industry in your mind.
610
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:41.640
Wow, Well yeah, I mean for me, you know, personally.
611
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.160
And look, you never want to come off like the
612
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:49.559
old get them curmudgeon guy, but you know, I mean, hey,
613
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:56.000
it demonetized recordings, man. I mean, it's it's completely you know,
614
00:33:56.039 --> 00:33:59.160
and it's interesting because we're in the process of developing
615
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:02.000
a new documentary around this stuff, and hopefully we'll get
616
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.079
it to across the line and get it made. But
617
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:06.400
big part of what I want to hopefully focus on
618
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:13.039
is parallels and because when Michael was you know, sort
619
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:16.320
of the things he was getting like crucified in the
620
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:20.159
nineties celebrity for artists or whatever you may want to
621
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:24.159
call it, We're your worst nightmare. Empires are built off
622
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:26.679
of that now. And I think the whole what's held
623
00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:29.519
up as the standard, and it's not just in music,
624
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:33.159
I mean in politics and everything has changed so much,
625
00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:36.559
you know, and for good, bad or indifferent. You know.
626
00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:38.719
I think it's like anything, you can see good in
627
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:41.119
it and you can see bad in it. But you know,
628
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:44.800
as far as like just the music business itself, it
629
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:49.599
just seems it really feels like the the you know,
630
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:54.519
the pie. There's just a few big pieces of the
631
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:57.239
pie for a handful of people, and it's just.
632
00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:01.119
Like squeezed a lot of people out of.
633
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:04.079
The quote unquote mainstream, and it's really really a fight
634
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:09.559
just you know, survive. And then the problem for me is,
635
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:11.920
you know, and that's what I'm hoping, Michael. You know,
636
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:14.440
whatever attention we get helps to remind the world of
637
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.920
like what greatness really looks like. You know, not to
638
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:21.480
knock anybody else, but you know, there there, that's the
639
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:22.840
whole standard what's held up.
640
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:23.119
You know.
641
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:24.360
I think a lot of that has to do with
642
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:28.360
the fact that you know, American idol came along and
643
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:32.519
Allen Shell paradigm is what kids have seen for the
644
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:36.960
last two generations. That's what's held up as what you'd
645
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:40.440
be striving for, which is completely different to you know,
646
00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:44.559
the Rolling Stones and James Brown and Stevie Wonder and
647
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:48.400
you know you two and even cold Play. I mean
648
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:51.639
with you like you keep mentioning Madonna. What's interesting is
649
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:55.360
my that's sort of my first break was Madonna launched
650
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:58.920
Maverick and I was in the first band that got
651
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:01.599
signed to Maverick, which was a big deal. Like our
652
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:06.360
signing was announced on MTV news and she was on
653
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:09.159
our city Hall talking about I signed this band. And
654
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:13.000
you couldn't escape a Madonna or a Prince in those days,
655
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:14.840
whether you wanted to or not. There was sort of
656
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:18.880
this collective consciousness that everyone was tuned into. And now
657
00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:21.679
we live in all these parallel universes and it's that.
658
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:24.639
Are massive that you may never have even heard.
659
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:26.159
Of, you know, because they've got their own sort of
660
00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:27.800
little worlds that they all live in.
661
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.599
And I think that's sort of the other thing that's
662
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:31.440
changed so much.
663
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:35.239
So it's hard to say. I mean, you know, I
664
00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:39.280
think the bottom line is I was very close with
665
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:43.039
Jim Brown, the football player, and he you know, when
666
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.239
you're young and you see things from the rest, it's
667
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:50.039
like you're not able to really appreciate and gage like
668
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:54.119
it's ancient history. But he always used to say, greatness
669
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:57.840
transcends eras, and it doesn't matter if and there's greatness
670
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:01.039
in this era, you know, if there's as much of it,
671
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:03.519
but it's there. But if you go back to the
672
00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:05.840
past and look at all the all time greats, they
673
00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:09.559
just they transcend time, you know. And I think that's
674
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:13.079
ultimately what matters. And that's that's what Michael does. You know,
675
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.599
he try it doesn't matter. You could look it out.
676
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:17.880
He looked, he doesn't look dated. He's just like to
677
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:20.719
drop him right in right, he'd still be amazing, you know,
678
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:23.639
and he'd still rule the world. So I think that's
679
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:25.920
ultimately what matters. He's just trying to live up to
680
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:29.440
that and put some good music out and hopefully, yeah,
681
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:38.840
you know what it'll be, what it'll be, Man's.
682
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:37.280
That's what a lot of it is.
683
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:40.280
Put that music out there and hopefully you're touching somebody
684
00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:41.960
in the very positive way out there too. It's going
685
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:44.880
to reach somebody out there too and hopefully turn turn
686
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.280
their life around for all the crap they're going through
687
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:50.159
to out there on the everyday blue collar workers out
688
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:51.679
there too, and every day life. Let me ask you
689
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:55.079
about this. We'll finish with this one. It's a fantastic project.
690
00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:55.679
I love this.
691
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:57.719
I think you guys hit the nail on the head
692
00:37:57.719 --> 00:37:59.280
when he came down to it. I can't wait for
693
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:02.239
get a copy of this. Man, you'll have to send
694
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:03.440
me one too. If you don't want to love to
695
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:07.400
get a copy of this, I'm gonna I'm.
696
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.000
Just sniffing around. I think there's gonna be a there's
697
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:11.679
a few might be able to do one more, a
698
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:15.400
little push and you know, up a few blues and
699
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:17.719
a few reds and do one more, sort of like
700
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:20.519
we got all the pieces in place, and because I
701
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:22.000
know there's still a lot of people out there that
702
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:23.360
want to get their hands on them.
703
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:25.800
And again, I wanted to make sure too for the collectors.
704
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:28.320
I'm not gonna like pull the rug under that, because
705
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:31.280
the other great thing about this project was just the
706
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:34.800
people that are still passionate about music are really into it,
707
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:38.159
especially the vinyl community. I mean, there's an huge community
708
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:39.199
of collectors out.
709
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:41.480
There, you know, so they know they got their heads
710
00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:41.920
on one.
711
00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:42.519
That's it.
712
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:43.239
They got it.
713
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:45.320
We do anything, it's definitely different.
714
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:47.840
But I can scratch a few more up and maybe
715
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:51.280
do one more push and get them, you know, because
716
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:52.840
I know there's some laying around somewhere.
717
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:54.960
There's got to be Let me ask you about this.
718
00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:57.559
I mentioned Madonna and of course everybody you've worked with
719
00:38:57.559 --> 00:38:59.400
with you too, But I gotta ask you for the
720
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:01.559
for the fan out here in the listening audience. Any
721
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:05.760
good for what you can say out there's something you
722
00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:08.599
probably can't. But working with the Stones, there's got to
723
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:11.880
be a good Rolling Stones like road story or some
724
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:14.159
kind of phone call that came through that was like,
725
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:16.679
you know what, this changed my life. It was kind
726
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:18.760
of cool to hear this from them, kind of let
727
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:21.119
the cat out of the bag. Any good Rolling Stone stories.
728
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:24.119
Be cons there's a thousand of them. I try not
729
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:25.639
to well, not a thousand of them. But I was
730
00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:29.199
very fortunate because and funny enough, the way I met
731
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:32.239
the Road, the way that whole thing went down, was
732
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:35.079
it all started with that first trip to London working
733
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:37.360
with Michael. And you know, it was like after the
734
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.280
first or second day in the studio and Michael, you know,
735
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:42.599
we have to do the whole rock star thing. We
736
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:45.320
went out dinners and then night clubs and we went
737
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:48.840
to this place called Brown's in London and we're in
738
00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:51.800
this you know, club and it's like very it's a
739
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:54.119
pretty intimate place, but it was like a bar really,
740
00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:56.760
and there's you know, all these famous people there. Mick
741
00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:58.840
and Ronnie would come walking in, you know, and I'm
742
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:01.679
like shitting myself because the closest I had ever been
743
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:05.039
to Mick Jagger my first concert was the Coliseum in
744
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:10.239
eighty one. I was two years old, no and famously
745
00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:14.039
opening Rudolf say so I'm talking to Mick Jagger, you know,
746
00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:15.639
and him and Michael are sort of talking.
747
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:18.440
Mick had been doing a solo record and Michael was
748
00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:20.199
raving about me to him, Oh, you got to hook
749
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:22.480
up with Danny, because Mick was sort of complaining about
750
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:24.920
he was having sort of a rough time on his
751
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:25.800
solo project.
752
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:29.320
And that's how, you know, generous and gracious Michael was,
753
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:33.199
you know. But cut to the whole thing of going
754
00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:36.280
through all of that, and I was lucky enough to
755
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:40.920
get I got, you know, I had a good relationship
756
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:43.960
with a lady named Nancy Barry, at Virgin Records and
757
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:45.920
she's like, Danny, you know you got to come out
758
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:48.920
to opening night of Soldier Field. It was Soldier Field
759
00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:51.320
opening night of the Bridges of Avalon tour. Now I
760
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.519
hadn't seen any of the band or anything into since
761
00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:56.360
we had finished the record, which has probably been at
762
00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:59.960
least six months. And Nancy said, just get to Chica
763
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:03.320
and stay will don't have for word about anything else.
764
00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:05.679
So I show up at the venue the night before
765
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:10.159
it's opening night of the US tour of the Stones.
766
00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:11.599
I mean it was a big deal. They took the
767
00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:14.719
whole city over right, So I don't know what how
768
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.480
was he doing here or what? You know? And I mean,
769
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:19.760
he's so good to see you. Da da da da da.
770
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:23.159
So Mick asked me, He's like, Daanny, how you getting
771
00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:25.000
to the show tomorrow? And I'm like, I don't know.
772
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:27.480
He goes meet me at the service elevator at eleven
773
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:29.559
o'clock whatever it was, So I go and meet him.
774
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:32.599
I got to go down the service elevator and we
775
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:35.440
got to the underneath the hotel and the whole staff
776
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:38.480
of the hotel was all lined up waiting to see them.
777
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.039
Under the ground. There was like a police escort, you know,
778
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:44.400
and I got to ride in the opening night of
779
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:46.960
the Stones US tour, you know, in the car with Mick.
780
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:48.000
I mean stuff like that.
781
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:51.199
It's just like I remember being in New York work
782
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:52.639
when some.
783
00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:55.559
Prost was out. It was the same thing the Stones.
784
00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:58.280
That record always reminds me of New York. Miss she
785
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.280
was on the radio NonStop and just they were like,
786
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:03.760
we were staying in this hotel on Central Park. You know,
787
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:05.960
I was a kid, I was eleven, and they knew this.
788
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:08.360
We knew the Stones were in the Plaza hotel. They
789
00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:10.519
were like a few hotels down. Just the fact they
790
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:13.519
were in New York. And I remember Magic got out
791
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:16.079
with the Rolling Stones, you know, and I got to
792
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:17.840
actually do that, you know. I got to hang out
793
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:20.000
with them in New York too. So I went on
794
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:22.760
the road of you know, a couple of cities and
795
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:26.119
hung out. And you know, it's just like they live
796
00:42:26.239 --> 00:42:28.880
up to everything you could imagine about the Rolling Stones,
797
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:31.800
like being in their inner circle. They live up to
798
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:32.679
it and exceed it.
799
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:33.199
Like Keith.
800
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:35.800
You know, it's like getting to be around Keith, you know.
801
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:37.719
But I think what's interesting is when they go into
802
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:40.320
a hotel they'll take that. They take over the two
803
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:43.119
top floors, right, So the second from the top is
804
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:45.559
the managers. It's like a buffer, and then the top
805
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:46.480
floors is.
806
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:48.159
You know, Kee's in a room, Mixed in a room,
807
00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:50.960
Ronnie's in a room, and each room has its own
808
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:55.679
culture to it, you know, like Pirate Ship. It's all dudes,
809
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:59.119
and it's like listening to Barry and ACDC, and you know,
810
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:02.360
Ronnie's more a fane at least on that tour, you know,
811
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:04.159
and then Nick kind of has his thing going on.
812
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:07.280
It was amazing, man. You know, I can't say enough.
813
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:11.320
It's just to give them something back creatively after.
814
00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:13.920
Everything I got from them was just it's it's just
815
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:15.679
one of those things you can't even really it almost
816
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:17.719
sounds like I don't even tell people.
817
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:21.400
About it because it sounds so stupid, you know, like
818
00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:22.039
I'm lying.
819
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:23.360
Nobody believes you.
820
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:24.360
Right.
821
00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:27.440
That's you know, good stories right here too. Love this
822
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:30.280
project with Michael Hutches. Like I said, yo know, those
823
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:33.119
songs to make people feel something out there too. We
824
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:34.679
got to play a couple here on the show today
825
00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:36.639
too as well. And looking forward to that date April
826
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:40.079
twenty fifth, remind people about April twenty fifth again and
827
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:43.440
just this cool project for one way, man, I love
828
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:46.079
this And of course you mentioned that CD and everything
829
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:47.800
else remind people about April twenty fifth.
830
00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:48.280
Will we close?
831
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:53.280
Yeah, So so through main Man Records MVD distributors were
832
00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:57.239
dropping a MAXI single with a you know remixes well
833
00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:00.000
the original versions in one way and saved my life
834
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:04.000
said boss remakes a cool Nick McKay kind of guitar
835
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:07.480
player from the verb amazing guitar player urban M's. I
836
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:10.159
know that would have made Michael really happy because they
837
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:11.719
were actually in the studio when we were in the
838
00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:15.000
studio at Real World doing record at the same time,
839
00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:16.880
So I know that would have really pleased him that
840
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:20.320
Nick's on the record. And yeah, April twenty fifth is
841
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:22.639
going to be everywhere, so keep an eye out for that,
842
00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:25.199
you know, and there's gonna be more to come.
843
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:28.360
Just you know, the wheels are in motion and when
844
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:29.320
something's you.
845
00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:31.639

846
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:32.840

always cool to promote, you know, stuff like this, man,
850
00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:42.239

851
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:44.840
rock group who were icons in the industry, and like
852
00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:47.599
I said, I'll say that again over fifteen million albums
853
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:50.599
sold worldwide. That does not happen by accident. If your
854
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:53.039
stuff is good, people are gonna flock to it. And
855
00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:55.039
