Introduction and Influence of Music
00:00:03
Speaker
What's up everybody it's your boy Wally um I'm kind of stepping in tonight for doing my thing for talk about music and everything else tonight since Glick's got some other things going on and just doing things I wanted to talk about how music's influenced me and my lifetime and hopefully the viewers everybody else jumps on here fill in in the comments and stuff but But I just wanted to talk about music and everything, and since it day is Tuesday night, and usually Glick's House of Music's on here, I figured I'd do an impromptu, pop in and talk on the how music, different styles of music and everything throughout my life that I enjoy and wanted to share with you guys. What's up, Benji? How you doing, brother? um Yeah, it's a little different for me compared to my normal Mondays and Thursday nights, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on music and everything else and share some music news and stuff that I thought was kind of surprising that I'd seen today.
ACDC Concert News
00:01:08
Speaker
Yeah, I agree. That's one of the best things, too. um Music and motors go together, buddy. I'll be honest with you. But the news I heard today, which I was surprised probably is everybody else. um ACDC is actually coming.
00:01:27
Speaker
coming to whom Ohio State's football stadium next year, putting on a show. For as old as those guys and everything are, man, to still be performing. um Kudos, last I knew, Malcolm's son, God rest that man's soul, one of the best guys out there.
00:01:43
Speaker
His
Musical Genres and Emotional Coping
00:01:44
Speaker
boy has filled in his position from what I understand. But yeah, ACDC has been a big part of my life, and I'm sure a lot of other people too. They've really, through school for like football, everything else between them, Metallica, um, lifting weights, working out and everything. That was our music. We usually jammed out to and stuff in the weight room.
00:02:07
Speaker
Um, but I had all different types of music I grew up around. I grew up around old school country, new country, pop country that that we got now. Um, heavy metal, rock and roll, classic rock, bluegrass.
00:02:22
Speaker
I mean, I've had all different types of, genres of music and seen a lot of major superstars and everything else come from nothing to being one hit wonders.
00:02:36
Speaker
But majority of my music, i'm I'm old school. I like my old school country. Some bluegrass. Definitely love my heavy metal. the
00:02:49
Speaker
That and old school. Gangster rap, NWA, Snoop. No Limit Soldiers, guys like that. Tupac. Like I said, my music just varied from general. um Sometimes ah the mood does the style of music. I mean, you want to listen to Need Something Pick Me Up.
00:03:15
Speaker
I listen to my heavy metal. I listen to some old school gangster rap. Love that shit. um Most people, for me, My relaxing music, believe it or not, like I said, is my heavy metal throwing on some old Metallica, some Slayer, um, Guar, Slipknot.
00:03:35
Speaker
I love metal, Benji. That's
Music's Role in Community and Life
00:03:38
Speaker
one of my favorite, favorite musics. But I, I kind of, like said, it expands, um, with me, like working in the garage, working on cars and shit and everything else like that.
00:03:50
Speaker
Usually got the metal music going, man. Got a, got my playlist playing. Um, and just jamming out working on cars. Uh, that's what a lot of us do in our garage when we're working on cars, metal music's our kind of our go-to things. Um, I've got a few buddies that we'll throw on some Tupac and some no limit soldiers and everything else just jam out to that. Or we'll have it where it's a mixture of a little bit of everything that we all listen to.
00:04:20
Speaker
Uh, while we're working on race cars, our own personal vehicles, um,
00:04:26
Speaker
Music in my life, really, the influential is um for me, if you keep keep working hard at it, you can achieve things. if Music touches everybody sometime in their life somewhere the help give direction.
00:04:46
Speaker
That's another one. Yeah, Sports Talk Radio, I get it, bud. But yeah, they ah it's it's either helped people or it's put people in it's just how you handle the music you listen to and everything else. Um, there is some of these artists out there, man, that's touched a lot of people with their songs.
00:05:07
Speaker
That's pulled them out of some very dark places. Um, in my past, I've had a few that I would only listen to just because it gets my mind in the right state.
00:05:19
Speaker
Um, they, uh,
00:05:24
Speaker
it It just helps. It helps a lot of people deal with certain things in their life. Me, like when my grandmother passed, as much as I hate to o admit it, um I went back to school country that I grew up listening to with her.
00:05:42
Speaker
um George Jones, Conway Twitty, Johnny Cash, Charlie Pride. e It, yeah, it,
00:05:52
Speaker
yeah it may It helped, but it brought back the memories of the good times I had with her um growing up and everything else. and it it just It helped ease the pain. um but yeah going back to the Going back to the grassroots, man, of listening to that music helped out a lot.
00:06:14
Speaker
They just... I don't know. It just it hit it pulls it to heartstrings on certain stuff. i mean It you... it helps you Cope helps you move forward.
00:06:28
Speaker
It's just one of those that, for me, it helps me cope with things. Sets the mood. Sets the tone. oh We just... I don't know. It's just one of those that it just keeps you going.
Exploring New Music
00:06:43
Speaker
um
00:06:46
Speaker
Glick doing this house of music on Tuesday nights, man. He's brought me into... a lot of bad-ass bands and groups and singers that, you know, most people wouldn't look at. And I tell you what, ever since he's introduced me to a lot of them, it's amazing. I love their stuff. Um, it hits all around. It's not just certain styles of music. I mean, there, there's everybody out there. It's fucking, it's amazing. And they've got, there's and everything. I mean, it's awesome. Um,
00:07:22
Speaker
to see that and him bringing, bringing these people up and give them the spotlight and everything else and bringing them to us has really opened up the door and kind of opened my style of more music a little more to open generous of style styles of music. I mean, it's just, let me see it from a different perspective of other than big name bands that you see all the time that everybody and their brother talks about.
00:07:52
Speaker
um James Luker is one of them Love his music ah there's I mean I got a list I should have wrote it down But this is kind of an impromptu He's had so many different guests Jules Love her music She's freaking amazing um But yeah It's just I just got that ride for variety a wide variety of music that i like and Like I said, it just sets the tone either for the day or or your mood for the day.
Music and Mood Matching
00:08:28
Speaker
I mean, I'm having a bad day. I'll throw me throw me on some ah some hard rock, usually. Listen to some Zeppelin.
00:08:37
Speaker
um Kind of Sabbath is on that borderline. Black Sabbath, the originals. I mean, listen to them.
00:08:46
Speaker
And i ah if I'm in that, I don't kind of give a fuck mood. I throw on a little bit NWA. Um, some Tupac, but like, uh, speaking Pac man, I mean, my cousin, big, huge Pac fan.
00:09:02
Speaker
Um, the dude was taken from us way too soon. Um, his music literally hit and they actually, his style, that gangster rap, him, Biggie, all of them back in the nineties, early two thousands, especially in the nineties when the gangster rap was big.
00:09:19
Speaker
Um, It ain't like today's. It's their lifestyle. It was about their life. And a lot of it some of a lot of us out there relate to that stuff. And that's why we liked it and did it and listened to it because we could relate on some aspect of that music.
00:09:39
Speaker
And, I mean, it's amazing to see how much that actually either influences your life for the good Or influences your life for the bad. I mean, it's how you make of it, what you do with the music.
00:09:52
Speaker
um Me, it was it's just my thing. It's my go-to when i don't want to. I just sew the headphones on, shoot on my playlist either on my phone or here on YouTube and everything else that I have saved up music and go through and listen.
00:10:11
Speaker
But yeah. Music touches everybody, like I said, so much in this world that a lot of people don't realize how how influential it is really on people.
00:10:22
Speaker
I mean, and just people talking about the music and the artists and the way their songs are done, written, sang. It's just it's amazing how how were how it it's touching. I mean, it it is. it it really reaches out to you and kind of grabs you.
00:10:42
Speaker
um Some of this newer music that's on the radio nowadays, i still some of it I can't wrap around, especially country. What's played on the radio today for country music in my eyes isn't country music.
00:10:57
Speaker
um Just call me a old school. Like I said, give me George Strait, give me Alan Jackson. Garth Brooks kind of broke the broke the mold right along with like Johnny Cash and him and everything else did the country rock kind of deal.
00:11:16
Speaker
But yeah, Tim McGraw, you know, stuff like that. um Montgomery Gentry, those guys, I mean, they were big. I loved listening to them, Brooks and Dunn especially.
00:11:28
Speaker
But George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Garth Brooks were my three favorite musicians and still are to this day. That I consider country.
00:11:39
Speaker
But there'll never be a guy in my in my vocabulary and in my playlist that'll take the place of like Johnny Cash, the man in black, in my opinion, was the god of country music. and I love that dude to death. that was His music was just amazing.
00:11:57
Speaker
But yeah, they they've really changed. I know I get trying to change with the genre up and the generations, but Believe it or not, some of this younger generation that I've seen my kids are in school with, they're actually listening to the older stuff.
00:12:14
Speaker
But some of this new stuff, man, I don't call it music. I mean, I'm not a huge, huge, huge fan. I'll rub people wrong way. Definitely not a Taylor Swift fan.
00:12:28
Speaker
She kind of a disgrace to the, to music in my opinion. She needs to be more of a pop star than a country labeled as a country singer. Um, But yeah, I mean, another person, so lifestyle, showed that he turned his bad times everything else.
00:12:45
Speaker
I know a lot of people don't like him. Jolly Roll's a prime example. Struggle Jennings. Shout out to them. They're ex-cons. Making a life for themselves. Jolly Roll especially.
00:12:59
Speaker
That man pretty much can do it all. He can rap. He can sing country. he's even, I've seen video where he's done some hard rock stuff and everything, but his his songs has got a lot of meaning to him.
00:13:15
Speaker
It hits home with a lot of people back again, where the music I see online where they, people are posting how it's his music's
Music as Emotional Support
00:13:23
Speaker
helped them. Just like I, much as a lot of people don't agree. Uh, I've seen where Slipknot's helped a lot of people just because it gets their heads out of dark places, even though their music's kind of dark.
00:13:35
Speaker
Um, Slayer, same way. Rob Zombie. I mean, like I said, it's just one of those. Your preference, the way you handle it, what you do with it, that's where it's most mainly at is your lifestyle.
00:13:54
Speaker
Your style of music can tell, sometimes can tell the person. Not always, but it's just the way you carry yourself. I try.
00:14:06
Speaker
Like I said, music for me is my release besides working on cars and hanging out with family. i
00:14:16
Speaker
Just some of the bands, I mean, out there. Like I said, I'm jumping around, and I apologize, but it's just kind of an impromptu, kind of wanted to talk talk about this. I can go, to like I said, a list from country all the way to metal to rap.
00:14:32
Speaker
And I'm going to list off of quite a few that I think are intercultural to me and everything. Now, Countryside, already listed the ones. um Like I said, Brooks, George Strait, Brooks and Dunn,
00:14:47
Speaker
um Alan Jackson, can't forget the singing cowboy, Chris Ledoux, another great that was taken too early. He literally did the rodeos and everything else I grew up going to, watching.
00:15:02
Speaker
Still like watching bull riding in the Bronx. Anything in the rough stock classes. um Rock and roll. it Go with Sabbath, Kiss, Poison, Warrant, Cinderella. You know, bands like that.
00:15:24
Speaker
ACDC was considered rock and roll. They're one of my influentials. First heavy metal band I really got into besides Metallica and Megadeth was Guar.
00:15:36
Speaker
they were they were some They were different. Their style of music's different. They were heavy. But then that kind of music there was my garage music, my workout music. When I was training, my playlist was nothing but hard rock and heavy metal.
00:15:55
Speaker
Mostly it was Slayer, Rob Zombie, Guar, Slaughter.
00:16:02
Speaker
Motley Crue, stuff like that. i Anytime I'm working out or working, if I listen to music, it's got to have upbeat rhythm. My mellow time, it varied depending on the mood, the way I wanted relax.
00:16:18
Speaker
I threw on some gangster rap just in the mood, we sitting, chilling, having a few beers, whatever. Listen to some gangster rap music. Listen to some rock and roll.
00:16:30
Speaker
It just depends on the crowd too, the people I'm around. But mostly by myself, yeah, I i get into my get into the playlist of where it's a mixture.
00:16:44
Speaker
But yeah, workout music, garage music, I got to go with rock and roll and heavy metal, man. I don't know what it is with me with that. Just working on cars and stuff, it just...
00:16:56
Speaker
For me, kind of keeps me in the in the mode, focused on what I'm doing instead of getting pissed off when something doesn't go right. Working on cars, sitting, chilling with the family, doing chores around the house, stuff while they're on some old classic country, some rock and roll, some rap music,
00:17:18
Speaker
stuff like that. Now, for the gangster rap, like Tupac, his lyrics and everything else to me was everyday life.
00:17:30
Speaker
That man lived in everything else and that we live ourselves just ah not in that side of the society. And people judged and everything else like they always do about anything because they fear what they don't understand. Um, but yeah.
Critique of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
00:17:50
Speaker
So I just wanted to share that and everything with you. That's what I do for the music. Um, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They were talking, Mike and Glick were talking last week about it.
00:18:02
Speaker
any Anymore, really, it my opinion, I don't think it should be called the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame anymore. It should just be called the Music Hall of Fame. I mean, with what they're bringing in band-wise and singers, it's not rock and roll music.
00:18:18
Speaker
They got some amazing artists that's been inducted, and then they've got some that, what the hell are they putting them in there for? That's what I don't understand. But, uh, yeah, I just figured I'd jump on here for a little bit, talk some music. Um, since it is Tuesday night.
00:18:35
Speaker
Yeah. Anybody in the chat got any favorite bands or anything? Benji, if you're still got your ears on dude, who's some of your favorite metal bands? Uh, if you want to talk about them, um, in the chat and everything else, let me, let me hear some of your guys's guys's music choices and bands you like and singers.
00:18:56
Speaker
Um, But yeah, heavy metal definitely took a hit when Ozzy passed. um The Prince of Darkness was heavy metal, in my opinion, ah like a lot of people.
00:19:09
Speaker
Grew up with his shit and everything else. Very good.
00:19:16
Speaker
But yeah, we just... ah Then there's some German bands. Ramstan. Ramstan is a fucking badass band from over in Germany. Never get to see them in the States.
00:19:28
Speaker
The other band that's really brought on that I really enjoy listening to his music is Alex the Terrible from Slaughter Prevail. That band's pretty badass for a heavy metal band. They're out of Russia.
00:19:44
Speaker
And Ronnie from Falling in Reverse, those guys, he doesn't get enough credit. They just judge. Once again, it's back to that judging people from the past. They hold that against them and everything else. But man, they've done some amazing shit.
00:19:59
Speaker
I'd love to see him in concert just right along with Slaughter Prevail. um Big news, Blitz has already announced the Sonic Temple for next year's lineup is out too already. So they got some good bands lined up for that show, as always.
00:20:17
Speaker
One of my favorites is playing on Sunday, which is Megadeth, Dave Mustaine and company. um They're playing. I think this Slaughter Prevail is going to be there one of the nights that it's there.
00:20:30
Speaker
Shinedown's playing again. Another good band to see live. Love their music.
00:20:38
Speaker
But yeah, if anybody doesn't have anything else, your boy's going to jump off here. Just wanted
